I such bad person of the world! I've had stuff to write about, but I magically haven't for no reason whatsoever. However, I declare to the Pokemon of the world that I will finish this journal entry and then go to bed because I told Jamie I would write a journal entry. O_O() Jamie is strange. She really enjoys reading my journals. I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS, JAMIE, YOU ARE RETADDED. But that's why we love you! =D

AAH!! I got distracted by
So like this one time I was taking a bath and there was a spider in the water, so I fished it out and put it on the side of the tub. It was already drowned, but somehow it got moved from plastered to the side of the tub to plastered to the back wall. And it's been there for like two months and since it just stays there and doesn't bother me I haven't done anything at all with it.

Wait, let me explain! I know it's a month since my last journal entry. But scribble.nu was down for a long time! So it isn't my fault, do you see? =D

I wrote another letter to Brad Swaile since I never got a response to my other one and it's been plenty of time for a letter to travel to Canada, sit around doing nothing for like a month, and then have a return letter come back, and nothing to this effect has happened! People are like "maybe it got lost in the mail" so I was like OH NOOOOO and I wrote another letter. =3 I included a Customer Survey. And also a little copy of my school picture. <.< >.> Which means that if those of you who said I looked pretty in it were lying, THERE WILL BE DEATH. And on the back of the picture I wrote: "I include this so you know I'm not some random ugly fangirl! And since I have a picture of you I got online, why shouldn't you have a picture of me? YOU: 'Because I don't want one?' Good reason. But not good enough." Or something to that effect, can't remember as the envelope is sealed and if mum keeps her promise, already in da mail. Also I wrote a letter to Zucchan and sent Hans's Christmas present. Baaah, I want to buy presents for everyone, but I am *OUT* of money O_O() Like, SERIOUSLY, I am OUT. I have NO MONEY WHATSOEVER. I had a reasonable amount, but then I donated $10 to the Latin Club Adopt-a-Family thing and paid $17 for a ticket to see CATS (w00t!! WHAT A GREAT PRICE!! Even if I'm one of like three people in 11th grade GT English who actually likes CATS) and gave $10 more at church (more than a tithe, but I always do that, and it's like, if you're gonna give too much, why not at church!) and then I had to pay $20 for my entry fee to Solo & Ensemble. And so, money is that which I do not possess. Mum says she and dad are fine with paying for the CATS ticket and Solo & Ensemble, but that doesn't mean I get $37 back because then I also went to the store to buy Blue Santa presents and ended up spending $63 O_O()()()() I guess I just get carried away with that kind of thing.... and mum said she'll pay for about half of that too. So I'm like "MUM AND DAD ARE GREAT" but I still have no money whatsoever since all this combined kinda just means I broke even and don't owe them money. Barnes & Noble, hire me, I beseech thee! O_O Of course they can't hire me until I submit my application, and I can't get a hold of that stupid Rae who I put as one of my references to get her home address and stuff and actually ask if it's okay I list her as a reference ^_^()()

I really must never delay an entire month between journal entries again, you know. All sorts of things that are important in my life that I should have written about have passed and I can't remember their details anymore. Bwaaaaaah.

It's the Holiday Season, and Santa Claus is comin' round! The Christmas snow is white on the ground when old Santa gets into town! He'll be comin' down the chimney down, he'll be comin' down the chimney down!!!

Soundsations are very popular at Christmas time [or should I say, holiday season, since apparently at school we're not allowed to say "Merry Christmas" anymore because we might offend someone....? those crackheads] and we have to go perform all the time, bleh XP It's kind of fun, but it's also kind of un-fun. Like last night we had three gigs starting right after school and we didn't get ANY food and not even a chance to eat until after 10.00 pm. Of course, it's strange, but even then I wasn't really hungry O_O() Curses! If I eat so little, why don't I lose weight?!

I BEAT FFIX!!!! .... four times XD because I heard Save the Queen and the Hammer change the ending, so I beat it once with just the Hammer, once with just Save the Queen, once with both, and once with neither. It's easy for me to beat the game because LeSill's (Freya's) Dragon Crest does 9999 every time since I beat so many Grand Dragons while learning abilities, and so does Schwarz's (Steiner's) Shock. Then Poppaea (Quina) does Frog Drop damage for like 8000 something, and Jackie's (Zidane's) Thievery does around 6000. I've beaten the game with the team Jackie-LeSill-Schwarz-Vincent (Vivi) and Jackie-LeSill-Schwarz-Poppaea. I want to try beating it with Noir (Eiko)-January (Garnet)-Reuven (Amarant)-[somebody else] so I can see what Jackie, LeSill, and Schwarz say when they give up their powers ^^() I haven't beaten Ozma yet, but I haven't actually really *tried* yet, so O_O I'm sure I can do it. Once I beat Ozma and get all 100 cards (I have 80-something), I'll declare myself Finished with the game. I've already started other games anyway ^^() Paper Mario (w00t!) and FFVI... which I've gotten like over halfway through with before but it's been so long that I decided to restart it. Paper Mario is SOOOO cute and awesome! Luigi rocks the HOUSE! And Bowser is COOOOOl! I got Goombario and I'm on my way to the fortress with the Koopa Bros. I love Merlon, Merluvlee and Merlow because they're SHAMANS like from SMRPG and I just loooooooove SHAMANS!!! WHOO-HOO!!! Wait, back to FFIX. Beatrix was already INCREDIBLY COOL but after the ending she's INCREDIBLY COOLER because she looks so pretty!!! Awww, it's so cute! And also, those of you wondering what I discovered regarding my Save the Queen/Hammer ending experimentation: Save the Queen doesn't change the ending at all; having the Hammer in your inventory adds a scene with Blank and King whats-his-face to the play at the end. And as for the ending itself-- AAAH IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVED IT SO INCREDIBLY MUCH. I seriously started crying the first time I saw it O_O Well, I didn't CRY really, but I teared up. *shrug*

Naming! Naming! Ya ta ta ta ta! FFVI Naming! Ya ta ta ta ta!

THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED
Terra/Tina - Winter (I wanted to name her Phrotus but it didn't fit)
Locke - Damian (*shrug*)
Edgar- Rudolf (I wanted to give him a 53xX0|2Zy name O_O)
Celes- Celes (I could think of NOTHING, but I did take it away from all-caps)
Shadow- Mask (I don't like Shadow, but I thought Mask was a cooler name than Shadow cos it's like that black weasel dude named Mask in Redwall!)
Everyone else- I forgot.

THIS TIME
Terra- Tea (O_O)
Locke- Jackie (It doesn't fit him nearly as well as it did Zidane or [surprisingly] Squall, but I've gotta name someone Jackie)
Edgar- Marius (Again, he's gotta have a 53xX-|2zy name, but Enjolras didn't fit)
Sabin- Katte (after Hans Hermann von Katte, the lieutenant who ran away with young Frederick the Great but was captured and beheaded *sweatdrop*)
Shadow- I forgot *enormous sweatdrop*
Cyan- Basil (because the word "cyan" reminds me of cilantro which is a spice and so is basil)
Gau- Moocow (I don't have a good reason)
Everyone else- I don't have yet.

I'm going to Austin for Gracie's birthday and to see ANJA who is coming home from college with us tomorrow!!! Everyone, please love this journal entry that I worked hard on!

Wait, I have one more thing I've got to talk about. George Harrison. I... heard he was dead from Lauren at lunch the day it happened. They'd been playing Beatles music over the PA before school, but I didn't know there was any particular reason or anything. So like at lunch I was singing a Beatles song and Lauren goes "oh, which one of them died?" and I was like "what?" and she was like "that's why they were playing Beatles music this morning. One of them died." and I was like "John's dead..." and she said "Uhh, I don't know, I think another one died." And I was like "noooo!!" and I hoped she was wrong but then we asked some guy and he was like "Harrison died." and I seriously got sooo unhappy... I mean... George... no... he wrote such beautiful music, and he was one of the best freaking guitarists on the planet... so I was bummed all the rest of the day and I kept forgetting but then remembering and it was bad. Just bad. =| .... and this led to an interesting conversation a few days later O_O

DAD: **something about George Harrison after seeing a remembrance type of article in the paper**
*pause*
DAD: Hey, Luther Vandross has a new album.
ME: (delayed reaction) Why did he have to die?!
DAD: Luther Vandross is dead?!

... kind of a location thing, I guess. O_O Eh heh. But anyway.. I'm still sad and I wish he didn't die. But you know. Oh yeah, and Lauren goes at the same lunch "All the Monkees are dead, right?" and I was like "NONE OF THEM ARE DEAD! T_T" and she was like "oh." XO

Okay, now I'm really going.
