10:00 am - WELCOME!

This journal is mostly friends only. As you can see, some posts are not. But anything with depth is, lol.
If you want to be added, please leave me a comment! As a rule I don't add people who don't at least say hi.
If you've left a comment and I don't respond, please write me again! Sometimes I get caught up with something and forget to reply. I apologize if that happens.
If you were a friend and I took you off it was most likely for one of these reasons:
A) We never talk anymore B) You never post anymore C) We no longer have anything in common D) All of the above
If you think I made a mistake, or want to give getting to know each other another go, just tell me and we'll do that! Thanks and much love to you all! Current Mood: grateful

06:31 pm - Writer's Block: Challenges I’ve Faced
A lot. My life has been full of hellish lessons. I want to say I'm a better person because of it. I honestly don't know. I feel like I'm an open book, but I suppose none of my friends really know what I went through in Ely. I joke about it, but I did spend ten years being abused in every way imaginable by just about everybody around me. The religious cults were bad, but being taken from my mother was probably the worst. Of course, I just thought it was normal to be taken away from her. Kids don't think about that sort of thing.
But hell, all that aside, that is NOTHING. I have never known anyone with a more horrific life story than this friend of my mother's. She was actually asked to be on Oprah, but refused because she's not over her past, even though she's in her later life now. It's a shame, though, because it could have given her organization more recognition. At any rate, her brother was killed by communist soldiers in China, her parents were sent to prison camps of some sort, and at 7 she was left to wander the streets, and was forced to wear a sign that said something vicious... I can't remember what. It said, "Daughter of ____" and there was some slur I can't recall that they were calling her parents (who had just been normal people. A seamstress and a dentist, I think.) People would throw food at her. A teacher once allowed his class to violently beat her. Actually, I think he encouraged them to. Then she ended up in some containment camp herself where she was forced to do... very horrible things that I can't even begin to describe. The story's horrifying icing on the cake is that she escaped and swam out of the place. (I don't know where... I know she got to America that way, but obviously she didn't swim here.) As she's swimming away from this prison, trying to escape, with men with guns standing in watch towers ready to shoot her if they see her, she's hitting objects floating in the water. The objects are bodies. Hundreds and hundreds of bodies of people who had tried to escape before her.
Honestly, I know it doesn't make my own experiences better, but hell, not a whole lot tops that. It makes me ill just thinking about it. I can't imagine the trauma and suffering she must still be going through. But she's clearly a better person and spends a good portion of her time helping other people, hence her organization.

02:10 am - Writer's Block: Spoilers Below the Cut
I was watching the Conan O'Brien show, or whatever, one night, and the actress he was interviewing accidentally gave away the ending to the movie she was in that hadn't come out yet.
"Yeah, and I'm in the scene where he dies..."
*cue audience gasping at realizing her error*
"...I... I mean... where he... is totally fine."
*goes to commercial*

Name your top 5 (or 10) favorite songs and their genres! I need more music again, and I will dig through your interests, friend list.

If you want to take it a step further, tell me why you like some, or all of them. I love to hear about people's perspectives of music.
PS! IN THREE WEEKS, I'LL BE ABLE TO THINK AGAIN! EXPECT A SLEW OF COMMENTS FROM ME!

06:02 pm Dude, I don't watch baseball, and the sound is off, but the fact that one player came up to another just now and was repeatedly tenderly touching his stomach has certainly piqued my interests....
This is gonna be like me with wrestling, all over again. XD Current Mood: devious

08:26 pm On a side note... I want to thank everyone that stood up for me during the "strike through" thing. Seriously. I didn't realize until recently just how much people were supporting me.
Really, amidst all the negativity of that time period... thank you so much for speaking out for me. I wish I could find a way to really show my gratitude. Current Mood: thankful

12:35 am - Aww my boys... ;__; Doing some more writing. Need to get chapters done.
Saw this floating around and loved it. More need to be done like this. It got me all inspired to write. Saw this on four of my friends' journals but not all of them had quite the same thing, so I just stole the most recent one I saw. ^^;
1. Lex Alvers 2. Joshua Henwood 3. Malachi Hetias 4. Fallon Delcret 5. Phoenix Cuarel 6. Shia Malcom 7. Aerouly Zenith 8. Eiman Stoshklasky "Stosh" 9. Fox Withers 10. Zane Hallow 11. Ace Buckingston 12. Shane Carwell
( The boys of Lock and Key and 101... )
I'm not sure if anyone will read that, but I'm hoping the people that read Lock and Key and 101 will find it amusing. Maybe? >.>; Current Mood: creative

11:36 pm - WHOA. O___O Weirdness....
Ok so... I was all excited that I was finally buying the third volume of Let Dai. It's a really awesome manga and if you haven't started reading it, you should.
But I was standing up at the registers, and I flipped it over, right? And I was just sort of looking at the summary and at the top there was this line.... And... it sounded oddly familiar. And I read it a couple times, and I was like, "Where the hell have I heard this before?"
And then I realized--
I wrote it.
I was like, What the fuck? This is my review! And they didn't even tell me. O_____O
See, here's the review, right?
http://www.boysonboysonfilm.com/manga/letdai.html
I wrote it back when the first book came out.
Now here's the third book's back cover:
( Warning, fairly large image... )
Wha??? What the??? I'm excited, and surprised and confused all at once! Shouldn't they have like... asked? Or told me? They didn't even put my name on it but it's mine.
So wtf... Something I wrote is now on a manga I love... I'm like, totally famous now. XD Lmao...
But still. That was SO WEIRD. O__O Current Mood: surprised
