Get The Sven!?!!

Okay, so thank you Bros for all of your super non existent help with my Rocher developments. -super eye roll- Anyway, as per usual, I have decided for myself. And I have decided that Rocher must be battle scarred. Because he's a war veteran and a bad ass so he must be scarred. I'm thinking that he should be scarred on the side of his face or some how so that it cuts a swath through his stubble. Like I want him to be a grizzled old man, but not to the extent that Nicademus is a grizzled and old. Because Rocher isn't as old as Nicademus, and I sort of want him to still be kind of attractive. Classically handsome. Like Carrey Elwes will look when he's older... Or now. I don't know what he looks like currently. Hahaha. And anyway, I want him to be like a dirty blonde... sort of Thor like..... SHUT UP! I have a complex. Hahaha. And um, I want his eyes to be um, brown. Like intense and dark brown, like Tarzan! And he's gonna be big. Like I want him to be a bear in comparison to short little Aiden. Hahaha. Ummm, I don't have the SIMS on my lap top, so I can't exactly make you guys a basic reference for him or anything. But if I find a picture that's close enough maybe I'll post it. Maybe. I mean, it's not like anyway looks at this blog anyway. Hahaha. Oh well.

Dream Chronicle Time!

Okay, so this dream starts out with me going to Karate. But it's weird cause I have no pants on and no body seems to care. So I'm at Karate and I'm teaching the children and whatever and then all of a sudden, all of this trash starts flooding into the dojo from like the corners of the room! And it's just everywhere! So all of the students get pushed into the middle of the dojo and we do like half a kata and then we send the children Home. And I'm like where did all this trash come from?! And Shihan is like, I guess trash day came early this week. He doesn't freak out or anything, just starts picking things up and throwing them into a random hole that I've never seen before. And even though the explanation makes no sense, I accept it and leave the dojo.

Then I'm walking Home and all of a sudden, I start feeling uncomfortable about not wearing pants. But then I run into Matt whose another instructor at the school and he's like hey, wanna come see where I work and I'm like sure. So he takes me to a construction site and he like opens up this shed thingy and there's like three power tools and a bunch of mats inside. Like wrestling mats. It's weird. Then I leave. I start walking down the street again and my friend Quinn randomly shows up and she's like hey, there's a Renaissance fair down the road we should go together. And I'm like cool.

So we get to the fair, I magically have pants and cool looking medievally like denim vest jacket thing on. And it's cool and we're walking around and we stop at a shop and I point a necklace out to her because it's a cool looking Dragon and she puts it on and then the next thing that I know Quinn's a freaking Dragon?! And she starts flying around and randomly blowing fire everywhere, just like testing her fire breathing skills. And she shoots a fire ball in my direction, so I turn tail and run past the shop and into the shop keepers house, but like the flames follow me through the door and down the hallway so I bang a left and head towards the shop keepers bedroom and just about then her fluffy white cat runs out the door so I snatch it up and slam the door behind us. Then after a minute or so, I venture out. Quinn's gone. No more fire. Nothings burned. And I'm like, whooooo and I take a deep breath.

Then it's like hey, I'm already. So I start looking around her house. Then the shop keeper comes in and she's all what the hell are you doing in my house?! Give me my cat back! An I'm like didn't you see the Dragon?! And she's all there's no such thing as Dragons! And she's yelling at freaking out and I'm just like STOP! And she does... Which is weird. And I determine that because she stopped when I told her to that I suddenly have the power to push people. So I try it again. And I'm like, uhhhh you never saw me. Live a good long life. And she's like okay and she's all smiles. Then I leave and start walking Home.

And on my walk Home this old time-y car that's painted like bright orange, swerves onto the sidewalk trying to run me down. So I jump out of the way and immediately conclude that somebody by the name of Vanessa pushed that guy trying to get him to kill me. So I devote all of my mind powers into pushing her, even though she's no where to be seen or even in the area. And I'm saying things like, you will never use your powers to hurt anyone ever again, do you here me?! And I guess that it works, because in the 5 minutes that I've had my Alpha powers, I've become incredibly powerful, I guess. Hahaha. Then I stop focusing and look at round at where I am because, apparently I kept walking even thought I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. And um, I find myself in something of a Halloween Town, but it's like the horror version of Halloween Town. Not the cutesy Kimberly Brown/Jack Skellington version. And it's all gory and disgusting. But I keep walking because it seems that my mission now is to find Quinn for some reason it seems logical that Dragon Quinn would come here. Suuuuure, why not.

So, I walk past this creepy guy that's trying to trick some dude into hanging himself, and I go into a creepy abandoned house and there's two like holes and one of them is dark and the other one is flamey and Vincent Price tells me that I have to choose wisely because one of them will burn me to a crisp and so I in my infinite wisdom chose the dark one. Because I think that everyone else would think to chose the dark one because it's the obvious choice and then change their mind because.... Well, it's too obvious. Hahaha. Anyway, I go through the tunnel and I guess it was the right one because I pass some flames and crap while I'm in there but come out the other side relatively unmaimed.

AND THEN?!...... I woke up, because my boyfriend stole all the blankets and I was cold cause said boyfriend also happened to turn the air conditioning all the way up. Hahahaha

Well You Put A Flannel Shirt On A Tatter Tot...

I sleep in your bed now.

-Your loving Phillip

Yeah. That's an actual postcard that my Aunt actually has in a big box of old photos. She doesn't know who Phillip is and that's all that the postcard says, but isn't that hilarious? Greatest postcard ever, if you ask me.

Hahahahhahaha.

Now! We move on to the importance of this post!

I need to name the planet. I'm thinking of a Titan AE reference.... And I know what you're thinking, but I'm not naming the planet Bob. -_-" Actually, I was thinking Sesshurine or however you spell that. Just because it's super fun to say. Hahaha.

I was also thinking the other day, where are Krystal's parents? She's not an orphan, because we already have two or three of those and we don't need another. Hhahaha. And I don't particularly want to write them in a bunch of places, so I feel that the logical explanation for their absence is that they don't live in Zarius. Yes! It's brilliant! So, Krystal is kind of like a foreign exchange student! Except that we didn't send one of us over there in her place.... And we're not giving her back.... But aside from that it's like the same thing! Hahahaha. Now the question is where did she come from? Ah ha! I've already figured that out as well. I'm thinking Sotouri, which for those of you who don't care enough to read the map I posted, is the country waaaaaay at the bottom of the map and I'm thinking that it should be sort of an icy cold place. Like Alaska, except where Antarctica should be? Sort of? Hahahaha. Whatever!

But I was thinking Krys is really pale and Alaska has times where it's dark 24 hours a day and such like that, so maybe that's why she's pale. In which case, wouldn't everyone be pale? Maybe it's a continent of albino ice people?! Hahahahhaha. I don't know, I'm still playing around with the idea. Ummmm, and Krystal's nameless parents may well make an appearance at Emma's party but I'm not sure yet.

Annnnnnnd, the Scorpion baddie that kills Lucian and maims Nicademus' name shall be Rorak and he's going to have to have a stinger and a tail otherwise where would the venom come from? Really people! Learn your animal kingdom! Hhahahahahahaha.

Alright, I guess that that's it for today. Look out for the next post when I discuss the final plans for tricking out my new car and my Halloween battle to the death, my new hair cut and sewing project and the diagram explaining how exactly our planet will orbit in a binary system and what that means for season and days and all that. Ta Ta!

Why Do You Have To Have a Head?

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for your killer input on my Rocher crisis. No really, you guys really saved the day on that one, thanks. -_-"

Secondly, me need to discuss Eclipse again. He's a Dragon.

And he's a Dragon that looks an awful lot like this one does actually. Thanks Google. Hahaha.

Anyway, in the Animal Kingdom, some animals mate for life, like Hawks and Seahorses and Wolves and others are whores, like Humming Birds and Men. And since Dragons are mythological and all that, there's no real determination about whether Dragons are whores or not, and I don't really care enough about what everyone else has decided on this issue to go and look up their consensus. Soooooo, I've just decided that, at least in my World, Dragons mate for life.

Dragon Loooooooooove

Yaaaaaay, Eclipse isn't a whore. He's like Number 4!

Sorry, that was really lame. But I couldn't help it! I just read the book and it was pretty good!

Like the writing is meh, but the story is good. And Henri's death is actually like 50 times more heart breaking in the book. Especially if you picture Timmy while you're reading it.

Timmy <3>

Okay. So, anyway, part of the reason that I decided this is that I was thinking of having Eclipse and Aiden talk sometime before Emma and Eclipse get married. Because you know right off the bat, Aiden threatens to kill Eclipse and he hates the idea and all this, blah, blah, blah. But obviously he's not gonna stop the wedding because Emma and Eclipse are in Love and Emma pregnant with his Baby and all that. So, I was thinking that they should talk. Aiden can yell and threaten and then Eclipse is gonna be like, look you don't have to like me or trust me or any of that crap, but you better believe that I'm going to be there for her cause Dragons mate for life and I knew that when all this started and I wanted to be with her stuff like that. And I don't care if you think that's cheesy or not, I like cliched romantic gestures and things of that nature and it's my book, deal with it! Hahahaa.

And so there's the main point of the post and some random pictures for you. If you have a comment about the Dragon's matting for life thing then you're welcome to share it as always. And that's pretty much it!

Oh wait! I forgot to mention that I'm changing my little brother's name again.

Fiore is going to be Kaori now.

Deal with it.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaaa

Toodles.

THIS PUNCHLINE IS FOR THE HOMELAND!!?!

Okay. So, as it has been determined by me, Emma is a White Tiger.

Because that's how I want it and their beautiful and maybe if I ever get published I can raise awareness and save some Tigers. -fingers crossed- Tiger's should be absolutely be saved.

And as also decided by me, both Emma and Angel have the tails of their respected animals. But no ears because I don't want them to look like "Cat Girls." Yuck. That's not what I'm going for with this. However! A thought has recently occurred to me! And this is that....

Cheeeeeeeeeese! Reminds you of Sheldon's smile, don't it? Hahaha. Kitty! We're here to blog, not eat Batman. X3

Anyway, Tigers have fangs. Big ones! Red Foxes have fangs too!

Actually looks like he just sneezed don't it?

So, the question now becomes, do my Princesses have Fangs?

Rawr! Derek's throat! -chomp-

I really don't know on this one. Like my first instinct is hells yes! Fangs! Awesome! But then I start to think about it and I'm like, well Tiger's use them to locate the carotid artery so that they can kill you faster and Emma's not going to be going around biting people to locate their veins more efficiently, so it's not really necessary. Buuuut, it'd be cool. Sooooo..... I have no idea about this one.

As usual,

Comments are welcome if they are helpful. And keep in mind, if you vote pro-fang, then you are affording me the opportunity to write a bunch of scenes where Emma runs around and goes, "AH!" and hisses at people in a Vampyre like fashion. Hhahaha. You're also inviting me to write a bunch of Vampyre jokes most of which will relate to my love, Spike or Dracula and Van Helsing. Hahhaha

Toodles.

Oh, It's Lunch... Who Ate It Before You Did?

Since I have decided that Eclipse will be hired as a guard at the begining of the book rather then promoted at the begining of the book, I need a new Captian. Now I've already decided on the name. He shall be Captian Rocher in reference to Captian Rocher from Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I don't have a first name picked out for him yet, because I intend to call him Captian Rocher or Rocher for the most part, so it's not really important. I'll probably just make it up on the spot when it comes time for first names. Um, there's a 97% chance that I'm going to kill him off in the final battle because let's face it. This is war, people are going to die. And that's not really up for debate. Now the question that I put up to you people is, what should the man look like? Is he a ginger? Is he a grizzly old man? Is he hott? Battle scarred? Got a limp? He owns a monkey? I don't know!! Hahaha. Input?

Catharsis Time

I have nothing relevant to basically anything to post right now, so if you were looking for an update on the book then you are flat out of luck Bro. You might as well just skip this post. Today, the Blog is here solely for me to rant on it. Sorry.

-deep breath- I'm really stressed right now. I feel like everything is happening too quickly and I don't have any time to get everything done. And then there are other times where I feel like I have all the time in the World, but no drive to do the things that need to get done. And I'm so sick of this shit. I've filled out 9 thousand scholarship applications and haven't won one yet. I've been trying to get things in order for when I go to school but my parents drag their feet and over complicate things and nothing gets done. Like right now with my fucking lap top or that stupid ass fridge thing. They don't trust me to do it on my own and then whenever I say anything about it, I get yelled at about it and I can't take it anymore! I miss my friends. Two of my best friends have been MIA basically all summer. (You know who you are.) And thanks for that guys, really. Right when I need you guys... And right now I just really don't wanna go to school... These days, I'm so freaked out about everything I can barely sleep at night without Layfon and when I leave he's gonna be two hours away... I'm afraid I'll never see him and/or that this will be the end of us... And I cry all the time now! At everything. Even if it's not sad. The Black Belt Test is creeping up on me as we speak and I found out the other day that I'll have to move in to school and be there a whole week or two before the test even happens! How the fuck am I supposed to train for the damn thing like that? Two hours away from my partner and completely without a stand in. What am I supposed to do?! And to make matters worse, Wolf is starting to stress about it and that just stresses me out even more. And it's like, can someone just give me a freaking break already? I need to just hit something and scream... No, that won't work. I don't know what I need. Guess, I'll figure it out eventually... -sigh- Alright, -Spackle- Crack in the armor, has been sealed up. Time to move on. Smile like you mean it. Hold your position, don't fall backwards. All that crap.

Till next time.

Shake, Rattle and Roll

Okay. So, I was gonna wait until someone read my new draft of Emma waking up in Strangerland just to make sure that it didn't suck but no one seems to be that interested in helping me out with that. So I'm like whatever, I'm just gonna do it. Emma can have two necklaces and Sabastian and Eclipse will NOT be guards when they find her. I'm liking the change, so let's just do it.

Question though. Before, when Eclipse was promoted, he got his own room. Now however, I'm kind of thinking that he should have to room with Sabastian after they get appointed. Cause I mean, they're not special right now. So wy would they get their own rooms?

Also! If there's two of them, then Emma would probably want to thank both of them for bringing her Home. So I have two options there. If they each get their own room then I can be like, oh yeah. Emma tried to thank Sabastian but he didn't answer the door when she knocked. Maybe he was alseep or something. And if they share a room Sabastian will probably be in the shower and Eclipse will answer the door. She'll kiss him and then run off cause she's late or she'll kiss him and then before she leaves Sabby will come out of the shower and she can be like "I just wanted to thank you!" And then run off. Caus she likes Eclipse. She's not gonna kiss both of them and if she does kiss both of them, she's only kissing Sabastian on the cheek. Ya know? Sooooooo...... Input?

Oh yeah and orientation was epic, btw. Fun stuff.

...Where is My Mind?

Okay, so maybe it wasn't my very next post. But I did tell ya'll that I was gonna post about Emma's necklace, so I don't wanna hear any whinning about it. Got it?! ....Good.

Alright then. Um, I can't remember whether I've ever mentioned this before or not but in my original verison of my character Emma, Emma always had a necklace that was given to her by Aiden and Hiroshi when she was a little girl and of course Angel would have a matching one. And for Emma, since she was lost, it would be like Anastiasia's necklace, the only link she has to her past. It wouldn't say "Together in Paris" though. Hahaha.

I would have it be engraved with her name so as to eliminate the possiblity of Cassandra renaming her when she finds her and such like baby Hercules.

And when she returns to Zarius, she would still have it. Maybe Angel and Emma could have a moment when they're reunited to talk about that. However, I recently found that I've been so hung up on changing plot details and the tiny tiny things that no one who reads the book will probably ever notice anyway, that I've barely even mentioned Emma having a neclace at all! And when I do make mention of it, I say that it's Cassandra's necklace, the only thing that Emma took when her mother died! And why did I do that? Because Emma was very very close to her mother and I feel that she should have something from her mother that she can keep with her always, so I gave her, her mother's locket. Which is of course, a reference to the locket that my Grandmother gave me, even though Aurora is more based on my grandmother then Cassandra is. So.... There you have it. I guess that my problem is that I'm not sure whether I should give her two special necklaces or ditch the Hercules/Anastasia thing all together. I mean, I could do two. But I don't know if I should.

Ummmm, anything else? Let's see.... Nope. Not that I can think of. Okay then. Toodles!



Hallelujah!

Okay. So who remembers my friend Tim? No, not the scuzzy, ex boyfriend, asshole Tim. My friend Tim. He's literally one of the sweetest guys that I've ever met and he's really funny and cute too! And he loves Soccer and he tutors at the ARC and he's just a great guy. Unfortunately, he also has a Kidney Disease and has had to be on dialysis for a long time.... Well, um, I don't really know how to say this. But... TIM'S GETTING A NEW KIDNEY!!!?!!?!?! Isn't that amazing?! Ohmigosh, I am so unbelievably happy for him! And relieved too! He was so depressed... But now everything is going to be better for him! And I'm so, so happy! Like I've been spazzing out about this for like two hours now. Maybe longer. Cause like, he'll be able to play Soccer again?! And that's his favorite thing in the whole world!! It's a miracle! Hehehe. <3

Anyway, he goes in for surgery on Tuesday. And he's a great guy and he really deserves this chance, so everyone keep him in your prayers and wish him a speedy recovery!

Congratulations Tim! <3

Oh yeah! And he said that he's gonna try and come to my going away party too, so you can all congratulate him in person as well! Yaaaaaaay! <3

Spank your Snooker

Okay, so I want to start out this post by saying thank you to Wolf for actually giving me some helpful opinions for the first time in awhile. Thank you Wolf Cakes, I appreciate it. <3

NOW ONTO TEH BUSINESS BRO?!

This post shall be relevant! And thought provoking! Hopefully.... Anyway, I was thinking the other day that maybe it would make a more interesting start to my story if Eclipse wasn't a Royal Guard when he finds Emma, but rather just some random guy. But why you say would some random guy be looking for the long lost Princess of Zarius? I've got that figured too! What I was thinking that maybe Eclipse and Sabastian have tried several times to get into the guard and they keep getting turned away and after a few tries they decide that the only way to get into the guard and fulfill THEIR LIFES DREAM is to do something really impressive in service of the King and then ask to be made guards as their reward, because I've decided that that happens sometimes. Worked in The Three Musketeers after all. So, that would be their motivation to find Emma. But! Travel to the Human World must be sanctioned by the King! Because we can't be having 8 million Vaikas running around Earth mucking up the place. So, Eclipse and Sabastian would have to be very sneaky about it. Which is fine, whatever.

Um, I think that it might be a little less cliche then having Eclipse promoted to Captain of the Guard and all ready being a pretty big Hero and all that shit right at the very beginning. It also might give Aiden another reason to rage when Eclipse and Emma get together. Something else to fuel that fire. And once again, I'd be creating more work for myself because I'd have to change the scene where Emma wakes up in a weird place and write something about Sabastian and Eclipse taking her to the castle and all that kind of crap, buuuuut I'm thinking that this might be a good change. Thoughts and opinions are welcomed, but only if their helpful. Hahaha <3

My next post shall be about Cassandra's necklace. Ta Ta for now Loves.
