Very Strange Kitties

Today I noticed some odd behavior in the cats that live around here. Well, first of all, there's my cat, Shadow. He actually lives in our house. Then there's Kitty, who's a very old cat and her owners don't really take care of her--so we feed her. Then there's Ronan and Draya who are brother and sister. Ronan is a gray and white cat, while Draya is a calico. Finally, there's Mars, who is also gray and white, but he also has some brown and black, too. So, like half calico and half something else.

Anyway, onto their strange behavior. Draya has been very, very moody today. She'll be all cuddly and cute with Mars and Ronan, and then suddenly hiss as them if they come too close. Mars is very interested in Draya, and keeps on going up to her, sniffing her, meowing at her, purring and rubbing.... but she just gets all mad at him. Then Ronan watches this with a very strange look on his face, and then hisses at Mars if he gets too close to Draya. Me and Christian think it's absolutely hilarious, but I have to wonder... what's up with them? Draya, Mars, and Ronan are all 'teenager' cats. They're usually very friendly with each other, and I've never seen them act like this towards each other. My theory...? Well, Draya is having her... 'special time'. For those animal experts out there, I assume you can guess what I'm talking about....

Anyway, just commenting on the behavior of some very strange kitties. xD

Long forgotten and now unnecessary, but still fun...

Meaning... well, I don't have to do blog posts anymore. I don't have Ballard as an English teacher any longer, but I suddenly decided the other day that I actually like blogging.

So, here I am, typing up a blog post almost two and half months after my last one, but this time my blog is purely for fun. ^^

So, my life so far...! A bit crappy, to be honest. I'm sick, again. Luckily, it does seem to be clearing up. I'm terrified of getting bronchitis--I have mild asthma, so whenever I get a cold, I'm scared that if it develops into bronchitis that it will cause me to like... have an asthma attack or something. And that's what mostly scares me. That, and I don't want it to turn into pneumonia. I know I sound paranoid, but sometimes I wonder if my paranoia will save my life... ah, well, who knows. For now I seem to be recovering, so enushta Azi for that. :)

My homework is better, because thanks to my IEP, I'm supposed to only be focusing on three things for now: going to class, doing work in class, and then keeping up with current homework. My past assignments are important, yes, but doing current homework will hopefully raise my grades to at least Cs.

And as for exciting things going on in my life... well, many of you know that Britty is planning on going to Australia. She is doing a 'bake-for-you' sale, where it's pretty a much a call in and order service. They can order a variety of cooked goods that she has provided, and she delivers it to them when they need it. I myself am now planning on doing something similar. My reasons are a little different, of course. In August, I'm planning on visiting a friend that I've known for five years now who lives in Arkansas, then in December if Britty is still in Australia, I'll visit her there, too. If I have extra money, I'm going to buy myself a laptop. My mom has already sorta promised that I can have a cellphone for my 18th birthday, so I don't need to worry about that. >> Though no doubt she'll make me contribute somewhat to paying for the phone service. Ah, well.

So, that's pretty much my life for now, except for the RARP, which is Real Adventure Role Play. Basically you take yourself (like, your actual self in mind, body and soul with perhaps some very simple modifications [aka being a bit thinner or taller]) and place yourself in a story. :3 It's absolutely amazing, fun, and addicting.

〜クリスマス〜

Jingle bells, jingle bells, oh my gosh those jingle bells are annoying...

So, the official decision. I am NOT going to California. Nope, nope, and nope. I'm going to be stuck with my brother and his wife, but it's still ten times better than being bored to death on a car trip.

Hopefully it wont be too dreadful, though. I'm hoping Britty can come hang out and stuff.

Also the last blog post for this year. Here comes 2010!

Comed as much as I Could!

The other day my mom was calling for me to come upstairs. I ran about halfway up and yelled back, "I comed as much as I could, mom!" Of course it's incorrect grammar and spelling, but it's still fun to say.

Anyway, I thought the intro would cheer you and myself up. Today is not the happiest of days for me... I really wish it could have been better. Also, my mom is insisting on a huge amount of both chores and homework completed before I go to the dance tomorrow. Of course, it doesn't help how she turned to me and said, "I have so little faith that you're actually going to do anything tomorrow, so you'd better just not hope to go at all." That hurt; and she doesn't care that it hurt me. Perhaps she was hoping it would motivate me--and it does, to an extent. But I'm motivated by anger to prove her wrong, and maybe that was the point... but it also makes me want to curl up on my bed and cry myself to sleep.

The other problem today... it also irked me. I was told something that made me beyond happy. But then I realized that what they said was a joke of sorts, which hurt.... and that did make me cry. The worst part is, I cant blame the person for what they said. But it still hurt....

As for Christmas... this season, we're going to California. To be honest, I don't want to go. But it's either that or stay here completely alone, which is less appealing than going. I would love to spend the holiday with my friends, but I know that they'll probably be spending it with their families as well. So I will be spending the 19th o the 28th in California... -sighs-

That's it for now.

Death or Cake?

Choose! Death or Cake? 

"Cake, of course." 

"We're out of cake. Now you will have death!"

"Nooo....!" 

Or something like that. I probably ruined the joke. If you want a better, more accurate version, ask Britty. She's the one who told me the joke in the first place. :D 

Oh yes. So, for a while I've been wanting to put up an excerpt from the language I made up, aka Lasitian. Well, it's not really an excerpt... or a language. It's more of a code that looks complex to an outsider, but in actuality is very simple. I'm not going to tell you the code of course, but I will explain the rules. 

1. All words must be treated as if they are capitalized. 

(i.e. I Love To Draw Pictures)

2. You only change the first letter of each word and every other after that into Lasitian. The only exception is with words with four lettered words and even lettered words. Here are the examples:

1 letter word: I (just use I) 

2 letter word: Me (use both M and e)

3 letter word: Him (use only H and m)

4 letter word: That (use T, h, and the ending t)--also the exception with translating

5 letter word: Tiger (use T, g and r) 

6 letter word: Better (use B, t, e and r)--usually with an even amount of letters in a word, you will end up using the last two letters in the word. You still use the first letter and every other after that, but you also use the last letter. )

3. The pronunciation of Lasitian is pretty much the same as Japanese. (A-'ah', E-'eh' I-'ee' O-'oh' U-'ooh' )

Hopefully you understood that. I'm still not going to give you the actual translator, but this is something translated into Lasitian:

Ojiru oen bevi dazetanuruza bezejazen. Rashtava, ojiru oen dazetanuruza avija ras eru ezija. Rade rafumijavite? Veru soja evi azataru edemzi kiza roviru yade eru jeruja--rade kija onuja roviru ezija rade oton vevija bemshta kita ras eru eziru. Ras damzaru, ki soviza kijajazaru nivin anuru ojiru beruze amzi jejarude. Ezija oen oes im date yajiza eru soviza ejiyen kivija ojiru... bevi ezite veru sovi jenushta evi eru jeyeteteye. Veru kruza ki sovita. Eru nijiza ezija vejita anuru im yaruta ojiru sojateye oruvanuva. Oe nivija ronuru eru jeruja sovita, jeja oe bejita ojiru oeja. Ava sovita oen evi anuru raziden romiva. Rade raru fadevite oete berujijifu. Eru rateva fadevite vevi date favinutava enunnuru ezin kin veruta. Eru fadevite ezija oe oviru... ava oviru, kiza ava manuvite yade jejiye roruru. 

Tickled to Death!!

I am a very ticklish person by nature. If you read this, however, it does not give you permission to tickle me in the future. My dad, however... he knows more than just how to tickle me. He knows how to torture me. He knows how to hit the worst points on me until I'm literally rolling on the floor and screaming for mercy. No joke. Yet again, reading this does not give you permission to tickle me. I do not like being tickled in the least!

Now, onto more important subjects. My artwork, for instance. It has improved vastly between now and the last blog post. I have started a new style of sorts where I don't use black unless I have to. It looks more realistic. Plus, I've been adding backgrounds which just looks plain awesome anyway. Here's one of the pictures I've done recently:

Overall, I'm quite happy with this new style of mine. You can see more of my artwork on my DeviantART page. If you have the time, I'd love if you'd take a look. :D 

Anyway, that's pretty much it for now...

Gwaahhhh.....

I'm so tired right now. I really, really want to go to bed. But, nooo! I have to do this blog post first. So, people who are watching this and stuff... Do you know what pixel basing is? If you don't, well... it's when you take a picture, make a pixelated outline of it, (but you draw through the clothing and the hair) then you color it in with skin tones, and voila! You have a pixel base. Then others can add their own hair and clothing to it. It's basically for people who cant draw. :D

So, yup, all the updates for now...!

Madeleine's evil sonnet of DOOM

How hard it is to forget things long past,

These are the things that haunt me in my dreams,

Imprinted on my memory to last,

Remembering the shrill and piercing screams.

 

Waking up wide-eyed and in a cold sweat,

Dark purple shadows lie under my eyes,

Knowing worrisome things are to come yet,

Listening to the cruel and hurtful lies.

 

Death follows me as I walk the cold streets,

Always hovering and confirming my fears,

Wishing I could find some safe, warm retreats,

Ducking my head so I may hide my tears.

 

And so I continue with my haunted life,

Always seeming to feel the cold, sharp knife.

Here's the one sonnet I was complaining so much about writing! Well, now it's up here. It's not in perfect iambic pentameter, but as I was recommended to put it up by a certain teacher... I thought, "Well, why not?" And even though I may sound like I have no humility if I say this... but I think it's an awesome poem, too. =^w^= 

So, for now....

BLEEP

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

By the way, I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly... the title, that is. In third grade (or maybe it was fourth) we actually had to learn how to spell it. But ah well, that was a long time ago!

Did you know that sonnets are really annoying to write? I'm supposed to write one for Creative Writing, but I'm having the hardest time with it! Okay, so maybe the problem is that I'm trying to write it in iambic pentameter... It's supposed to be written in iambic pentameter. I'm having a bit of difficulty with the rhyme scheme too, but not as much. Maybe if I stop trying to write it in iambic pentameter it wont be so difficult? I mean, we're not supposed to for the class. Just sonnets are generally written like that. Blah! I need to stop ranting about this right... NOW.

Oh yes, today I made up three characters (it was all today, because I made them up at midnight. Though technically when it turned midnight, it went back to eleven o'clock... now isn't that confusing? Stupid time change...). Anyway, their names are Deryus Sigik, Camina Fysk and Jehan Takyr (I might change Jehan's last name though...). Deryus is a mercenary by trade. With his black hair and heart, he can make you shrivel under his icy glance, thus incapacitating you to the point where you're useless against his swift and deadly attacks! Camina on the other hand is carefree and easy going, always finding the silver lining on the clouds and able to enjoy the little things is life, even though she can be totally clueless at times. Jehan is not like Deryus or Camina in any way--he's a fire eater by trade, a clever trickster that can entrance you with his fiery conjugations and pull you in with smooth words until you're right in the palm of his hand... he's also very flirtatious, so watch out for him!

Oh, yes, a word on the Halloween Dance. It was a fantastical success! Even though I felt absolutely miserable, it was still lots of fun (at least for others). I think the only downside was having to work in the Fear Factor room. That didn't work out very well for me at all! When you walked in it smelled awful, and then having to watch people try to gag down vile concoctions... well, yeah. So, bad for me, good for everybody else!

I think I'm done ranting now. :D

Anna, signing out!

P.S. I actually did spell it right after all! It's on Dictionary.com too. Fun, huh?

Seriously? Can I take a cookie?

A-ha! Guess what? I have a word for the day today, so I will post it up here!

Frugality: (Adj.) economical in use or expenditure; prudently saving or sparing; not wasteful
In a sentence: Wyatt, however, misses the distinction between frugality and waste. (By the way I think that the way they use it in a sentence still doesn't make any sense... That's just me, though.)

Great for all of you Financial Lit. students who are reading this--you could really impress Mr. Austin!

Oh, yes, here's something I felt like putting up here as well:This is a picture I did last school year. Once completed, I stuffed it among a bunch of other pictures I've done over the last few years. Finally I decided to look through my pictures and pick the best out of them. When I found this, I was like "OMG, I MUST SCAN IT!" So I did. =D And here it be for all to see~!

Oh, yeah, as for the title of my blog... It's because last night after the HUUUGE volleyball tournament, the whole team came over here to eat treats and watch a movie (though I think half of them fell asleep during the movie...). So to appease the team, my mom got ice cream and oreos. And I ate many oreos. That's why my blog post is what it is. =D

And... since I cant think of much else to put on today's random blog post...

-BLEEP-

Angry Monkeys in my Head!!

So.... about my title. I have a headache. Well, yes, in a sense... I do. Not a real headache though. A headache that comes from stress and just... everything. Life is good. But it's also hard...

I'm in the school play! Just a villager, but I got in and that's what counts. Plus, I do realize that every person is important. Without everyone... well, it would just be very awkward. :) I'm contributing. At the same time... I need to be passing all of my classes to be in the play... and I have three F's already. Three! Why, I ask myself, is it so very difficult for me to keep up in my classes, to concentrate....? I think I know the answer, but... I hate it. I hate the answer. There HAS to be a better solution to it. There simply just has to be....

Tomorrow I am also planning on not necessarily throwing a party for Britty, but I want her to have a real birthday. She's sixteen... I have known her for a little over a year, but it feels like so much longer. Yes, I am committed to make her birthday a memorable one. Truly.

For no reason, I also feel.. reminiscent. I can clearly remember what was going on in my life a year ago... how my classes were different, my friends... well, my friends haven't changed much... how just EVERYTHING was different. I feel like I'm going to cry from just... everything. Happiness, sadness, just an overflow of feelings... I should probably stop reminiscing now...

Like a Choo-Choo Train

Word of the Day: Serendipity (summary of definition: Having an aptitude to make lucky discoveries by accident; good luck or fortune) 

Hello and welcome back to my blog! From now on, whenever I put a blog up, I will put my 'word of the day' at the beginning. Every day (mostly) I will find there is a word stuck in my head that sounds cool but I cant for the life of me remember what it means... so I look it up and put it on here! It's always an exciting feeling when I figure out what the word means. :3 

Anyway, as said before, I need to find a focus for my blog. I don't know if I can focus on a story that me and my friend are writing... ya know, post it up here and such... 

Please tell me what you think!

~Anna

In Class

The writer crouches in front of a brightly lit up screen of an iMac. She is in a classroom. She is in a school. She is at Merit Academy, and she is typing up her second post on her blog. Why? Because she has to... and well, because she wants to. 

The writer has a horrible secret to admit: Annamira isn't her real name. That's all you, as the reader, need to know. Because the writer isn't going to tell you her real name. No, because if she does... the world will explode. So it's good thing the writer isn't telling you her real name, isn't it? But even though Annamira isn't her real name, you are still allowed to call her Anna. 

Anyway, now that you know the writer as Anna, she is going to stop calling herself the "writer". She will now refer to herself as "Anna". Anna actually needs to get off soon. It's 8:40 right now, and class gets out in five minutes. Anna's teacher actually let her use her computer--isn't she so nice? Yes, let's all agree right here and now that Anna's teacher must be very nice if she's allowing her student to use her personal iMac. You should all give Anna's teacher a hug. Actually, if you are a student going to Merit Academy and you happen to stumble on this--or if you are Anna's teacher herself--then give her a hug later, alright? Alright! :) 

Now Anna is getting off. Anna is now saying goodbye. 

Goodbye!

~Annamira 

FIRST POST!

I don't really blog much, so here goes nothing.... This is actually an assignment for my English class, so yup. ^^; I think it should be pretty fun, though. I mean, I like typing journals. A blog, though! I have to keep it updated pretty frequently too, which means... well, you guys get to know all about me! Yay for you! Well, eventually I need a focus. So, people who may read my blog.... what do you think I should focus on?

Thanks!

~Anna
