So for Christmas I got Skyrim and Deus Ex! They're both good games and I'd thought I'd post my first impressions of the games!
Deus Ex: Right now I'm in the second city and so far, I'm loving this game! It's so fun to play and I can't wait to get back to it. I have no problems with it so far. I love the combat and locations, and I play on the medium difficulty which is difficult, but not annoyingly so! The story line is very interesting and appealing and I can't wait to find out more!
Skyrim: I have mixed issues with this game. I do really like it, the locations and scenery is nice. My main problem is how the game's plot is. Since it's an RPG there are other quests you can do and etc, but when it comes to the main story-line I'm just not feeling it. You're given a rough idea of what your supposed to do, and basically from there you're on your own. I'm sure that'll change, I'm only at the beginning of the game after all! Other then the plot, the combat is a tad hard, but that's okay. I think I'm just a bit caught up in Deus Ex to fully appreciate the game.
Well, that's it! Sorry for the short post, I'll make a follow-up later once I've finished the games. :)
EDIT (1/9/2012): HOLY MOTHER OF GOD SKYRIM IS UNNATURALLY ADDICTIVE,,,,

Update + Things that Happened This Year
Normally I'd apologize for not updating or posting anything lately, but really, I think it doesn't matter as long as I actually continue to post in general, right? Or maybe not, who knows. Anyway, I've had a lot of things on my mind but haven't really been up to writing them down. One thing in particular has been bubbling in my subconscious is how I view, and used to view, myself physically.
Back in the day I used to be perfectly fine with how I looked, then when I got older my natural female insecurities started to sink in, and soon enough I started getting pretty upset about it, especially considering I wanted to impress my crush.
So time went by like it usually does, and for ages I felt like the ugliest person in the world. Well, that changed this year, specifically over the summer and fall, and now in winter. One of the big changes I've noticed is that now when I look in the mirror I don't immediately think "UGLY" and instead something like "Hmm, looking nice today."
It's pretty cool, I think. Definitely a big improvement compared to my past-self-hating-self. :)
Anyway, moving on. So now that the year is coming to a close I've been thinking about a lot of things that have happened this year, and man, so much has happened. Good and bad.
I think one of the most major things is that this year I lost my oldest and best friends. It's one of the things I wish I could change most this year and honestly, losing her bothers me more then I'd like to admit. Especially since I was the one who pushed to end our friendship. She was my best friend since I was 6 or 7 years old, and for awhile we even "dated" (which ended up becoming one of the best times in my life, because she was just... wow.). Things ended really bad and I wish I could take back so many things, even now I wish I could apologize to her.
Another major thing that happened was losing my second-closest friend only a few months after loosing the first. We met through my best friend and became good friends pretty fast! We stayed friends even after I split from my old BFF and she became my new one. Honestly, sometimes it was hard because she was younger then me and I couldn't always talk to her, but it was still a good friendship and a considerable loss. This time however, I wasn't the one to end the friendship (if I had ruined it, holy crap that would've sent me over the edge). In the end she had misunderstood something I said and there was a fight. We haven't talked since.
I'll be perfectly honest here. I miss both of them and think of them often. Over the past few months I've had time to let go and let the reality (that we'll never talk again) sink in, and still, I wish both of them great lives. I'm actually kinda proud that I've let go of the malice and just let the good feelings come in when it comes to them.
Even though they'll never know, I'm so thankful for our friendships because even though we don't have them any more, they helped me become the person I am today.
One of the good things that happened this year was me taking my interest in school and writing seriously and getting busy with my education. It's really helped me start to think about what I want to do with my life and so many more options have surfaced! Now instead of only taking a interest in writing I've started working on my drawing skills and have even thought about a future film directing career! It's been a real eye-opener!
Another good thing that has happened is me discovering some of my new online interests such as Tumblr. Tumblr has given me new insight to the world and it's problems, specifically the kind of things kids are normally sheltered from. Again, it's been a real eye-opener and I'm started to feel less and less naive about the world every time something serious pops up on my dashboard. In my last post (I think) I mentioned a few of the things I'd seen on there, so if you'd like a better view on that, head on back a post or two!
One last thing, then I'm done! One of the more recently shocking things that happened was on my very own Facebook! After logging on today I received I friend request, and thinking nothing about it, accepted it. As it turns out, that friend request was from one of my old kung-fu friends! Way back in the day we went to the same kung-fu dojo and were good friends! And now, after 6 years of loosing contact, we've found each other again and as it turns out, she lives nearby! This is one of the only times I'm genuinely glad Facebook exists, because that's just awesome! I don't even know how she found me!
Ahh, well, I think this post is long enough so I'll end it here. But really quick, I saw that this blog has over 4,000 views!! That's amazing!but I think the views are for those anime pictures I posted ages ago. Thanks for reading,
Laura.

Halloween Fun
Halloween was awesome, well actually, it's still being awesome! My day started just like I wanted it to, waking up at 10:00am to start watching horror movies. Me, my mom and little sister watched some old horror's like Frankenstein and Hell House. It was all pretty cool! When the afternoon rolled by my dad got home and we finished decorating the front yard (everybody loved our decor, lol. I'll try getting a picture up sometime soon!).
Ah, so let me tell you about my costume. Basically, I ditched the ghost getup for a grim-reaper outfit. It fit me a lot better and I got to wear pajama's under the robe!
So when trick-or-treating came around I did my make-up, got in costume and went for Round One, Team One with my little sister and Mom. Even though it was still daytime kids were already coming out and trick-or-treating! So me and the rest of Team One looted our neighborhood for candy about an hour and thirty minutes (maybe more), and by then my mom was tired so we came home briefly.
At that time my older sister and her friend came home from their first round, and I left again with them for Round Two. We trick-or-treated for at least an hour and forty minutes, and we had basically covered all the houses, so we all came home.
Seriously, by the time we got back I was limping a little. After walking in a parade last Saturday, they did not like a trek around the neighborhood.
The rest of the night is still rolling by, me, my older sister, my mom, and my dad just finished watching The Wolf Man, and now every body's just kinda slinking off to their rooms. Right now I'm sitting here all zoned out of Twix and KitKats, and to say the least, I'm a bit tired, so I think I'll stop now.
Haha, welp, I hope everybody had a great Halloween! Good night!

The World We Live In
Sometimes I wonder how we, as human beings, can be so fucking disgusting.
There are so many good people in the world, and every day they make a difference and impact people with their personalities and successes. Without good people, the world wouldn't be nearly as beautiful as it is today. I really wish there were more people like that around.
Today I was browsing my Tumblr dash when a particular post came up. It was a post about a blog called "There Will Be Bones", or more popularly known as "Pro-a-n-a". The blog is run by a girl who promotes anorexia and eating disorders because she thinks they're good and that full grown women should be around 90 pounds or less. 90 being a tad chubby.
She posts pictures of girls and women, who look beautiful and healthy, and called them obsese, fat, lard-asses, and all sorts of things. She posts "tips" on how to easily throw up food when you're done eating and all kinds of different methods to lose weight. And people read and use those tips. There was one post from one of her followers saying how she had gone from 250 to 90 in one week, and she was thanking this pro-a-n-a for it.
Losing weight that fast is dangerous. She could die from that.
I read through some of her posts and went through at least two pages before leaving the computer and going straight to the bathroom because I felt sick. I sat in the shower and cried like a frickin' baby because I couldn't handle it. I couldn't handle how hateful this girl was. I can't handle how hateful she is.
This wasn't the first time I've ever found something disturbing on Tumblr. Last month I was doing what I was doing today, going through my daily messages and e.c.t when a video popped up. I didn't read the comments below and clicked on the video to see what it was.
The video showed a man rolling around on some asphalt, a few seconds later a few guys came in and starting kicking him. They kicked him over and over and over, and when he tried running away one of the guys got a wooden chair and started beating him with it. He fell down and they kept going. It went on for a few minutes and the longer the video went the more people you could see standing by, watching.
After another few minutes one of the guys grabbed some fuel and set him on fire. So the man stood up and started running away. He tripped and started rolling around again so the fire would go out. It did. Then the other guys caught up with him and set him on fire again, but not before kicking him a few times. Once he was on fire again one of the guys grabbed a desk and threw it at him, breaking the desk and crushing him in place. They walked away while the camera-man stayed and listened to him scream.
During this whole thing there must've been at least 100 people in the immediate area. Cars drove by, things went on as normal as any other day. Noone even stopped to help.
That man was tortured, kicked, burned, almost run over, hit over the heat with chairs and a desk, and eventually left to die in the middle of the road. Because he was gay.
I didn't know what to do after that, and for the first time in months I just burst out crying. And I did again today when I thought about that video and that Tumblr blog.
Earlier this month I found another thing.
It was a news artical about a 11 year old boy who'd commited suicide by shooting himself in the head. He did it because he was intensely bullied about his limp caused by a medical condition. The artical had pictures of him, smiling, hugging his dad, riding his bike. He was eleven.
I've never had much hope for human beings. Only recently have I started to find the good people. But at times like this, when I find these things, things that parents would never want their kids to see or be exposed too, I can't stand it. I can't stand it because I know there are much worse things that have happened. Internets sites and blogs like Pro-a-n-a and Encyclopedia Dramatica have been a slap in the face because I know that there's worse. And excluding internet hate and malice, there IRL things going on too. Things like the 1%, the Tea Party, homophobia, colleges getting more and more expensive by the year, no jobs, men and women getting raped or raping, pedophiles, death, famine..
I don't want to live in a world like this, but hell if I'll kill myself over a few assholes. I'm gonna help fix this place, because you know what? There are too many good people that suffer. I can't do much now, but I swear to God, as soon as I can, I will.

Procrastination and 3rd-Person are My Best Friends
--A WEEK OR SO LATER!
-Skip to the bottom for 3rd-person writing-
Well, during my one week break I did absolutely nothing. It was so relaxing. Seriously though, I didn't get one piece of writing done. Haha, but I think it was worth it. I basically spent the entire week lounging around reading Homestuck fan fictions and watching Sgt. Frog. Like I said before, it was extremely relaxing so I'm glad I did it.
I did finish my costume though! On Sunday I went to a Halloween costume/decoration sale and bought the main piece of my outfit; a white cloak with a hood. It's too big for me but I can always cut it! Because the cloak is semi transparent I have to wear white clothes under it too, which wasn't a problem until today. When I was trying my pair of white shorts on (I didn't try them on then I bought them) I found out they're semi-transparent too. Tomorrow I'm going to have to see if wearing all white clothes helps, and if the cloak conceals everything enough. Luckily my shirt is thick enough that I don't have to worry about it too. As far as shoes go I'll probably just wear some flip-flops.
For my make-up I'm going to use some ultra-white concealer on my face and use dark purple eye-shadow to make my eyes look sunken in (or maybe just look like I only have sockets?). It should be fun!
Even thought I have a costume and everything, there's still one tini little problem. I have two choices this year:
1. Go trick-or-treating with my cousin who may not come (if she doesn't I'll have to go with my little sister)
2. Go to my friend's house and chill/probably not trick-or-treat.
I have no idea what to do! I'd love to trick-or-treat with my cousin, but if she doesn't show up... Well, it just wouldn't be as fun. And I'd love to see my friend because I haven't seen him in ages, but I still want to go trick-or-treating and I'm afraid I'll be boring if I go to his house. I really don't know what to do. If I don't end up trick-or-treating I'll still dress up and post a picture of my costume later, y'know, for the lulz. Sorry this post is a little bit blue, but I'm feeling that way.
Ironically, there's one person that'd make my freakin' day if they could trick-or-treat with me. Sadly, we don't talk anymore. Even though we're not on friendly terms I'd still be tickled silly because I know she'd make my Halloween better.
Anyway. I just remembered something! I do have some writing to post! It's some third-person I wrote awhile ago. So, if you feel like reading more, here's something! It's about two of my OC, Bruciare and Emily and how they basically interact (Side note: Emily was the girl in the other 3rd-person story I posted!). Sorry for any grammar mistakes.
"A quiet tapping echoed through the massive room, almost drowned out by the crackling fire a few feet away. The room had dark red walls accompanied by redwood floors, giving the massive space many shadows. Across the room there was a fireplace that lit the room in a dim glow. A few feet away from it was a desk. It was old but still gleaming with expensive taste and fashion. Seated at it was a man, rhythmically tapping his fingers against the wood in annoyance.
A malicious scowl seemed etched onto Bruciare's face, never flickering. He had been thinking for hours but still hadn't quite figured out what to do. Frustration and annoyance had made themselves known hours before and had overstayed their welcome far too long.
The tapping stopped and left the room in silence once more. Without warning the fire lurched out of the fireplace and expanded through the room, quickly gathering at the his feet. He waved the flames off without care and continued to ignore them. Like a child being ignored, the flames hissed and whistled while changing through forms, eventually deciding on a bird.
It perched on the desk and pecked his hand in concern, quietly wondering why he had stopped tapping.
The malicious look was still present when he gracefully stood up and walked away from the desk. Without caring to address the bird, he slithered through a nearby wall and entered a hall. Like the previous room, the halls were themed red and carried a elegant but medieval feel. Every once and awhile he'd see a servant or two skittering towards their destinations, but other then that, he was alone.
Feeling that walking would take too long, he Splintered and rapidly moved through his private residence and towards the sealed off area of his fortress. In seconds he re-formed inside the building and at the top of it's staircase. In front of him there was a wall that seemed as simple as the others. Just as before, he slipped through the barrier and stepped into a room.
The room had a fair sized bed, a wardrobe, several book shelves and one large window. Across the room there was another doorway that led into another room. He quietly made his way towards the door frame and slid into the room, noting the faint smell of smoke. The doorway led into a luxurious bathroom filled with assorted items along with a large bathtub. In it was a young woman, her hair tied up into a bun and most of her body covered in soapy bubbles.
Annoyance sparked but he easily hid it. Concluding that she wouldn't break her silence he contracted his hand and left the room. Once out of sight he Splintered and returned to his private residence. Immediately, the malicious scowl returned. Across the room the fire-bird eagerly flew towards him and circled while he sat back down at his desk. Returning to his pattern, the consistent tapping began again.
Appeased, the bird flew into the fireplace and spread back into it's original form, adding it's crackling to the noise. For a instant Bruciare wondered if the fire could feel pain and contemplated killing it. Just as he was about to try, there was a new sound. He calmly glanced towards his window and noticed something flickering.
Curious, he stood from his desk and slid his hand through the glass. He grabbed onto the flickering object and withdrew his hand, the glass immediately fusing together again. Opening his hand, a glowing red butterfly moved around his hand. He squinted slightly and wondered if he had created the creature while napping. He then remembered that if he had, it would probably be lethal. It reminded him of a firefly because of the glow it gave off, but it was obviously a butterfly.
The tiny bug flickered before flying off, landing on his face instead. Just as he was about to kill it, the tiny creature took off and landed on his desk, specifically on a piece of paper. A small message began to sprawl out against the parchment and as soon as it finished the butterfly dissolved into ash. Getting even more annoyed, Bruciare grabbed the paper and read the message quickly.
Goodnight.
Instantly he knew who it had come from and a small smirk of satisfaction spread across his face. She had sent it. With his brooding attitude gone, he returned to his desk and began working in silence."

So there you go! If you liked it I'd be uber happy if you said so in a comment below! Or if you didn't like it and had critiques! Anyway, I think I'll stop this here. Thanks for reading,
Laura.

For my make-up I'm going to use some ultra-white concealer on my face and use dark purple eye-shadow to make my eyes look sunken in (or maybe just look like I only have sockets?). It should be fun!
Even thought I have a costume and everything, there's still one tini little problem. I have two choices this year:
1. Go trick-or-treating with my cousin who may not come (if she doesn't I'll have to go with my little sister)
2. Go to my friend's house and chill/probably not trick-or-treat.
I have no idea what to do! I'd love to trick-or-treat with my cousin, but if she doesn't show up... Well, it just wouldn't be as fun. And I'd love to see my friend because I haven't seen him in ages, but I still want to go trick-or-treating and I'm afraid I'll be boring if I go to his house. I really don't know what to do. If I don't end up trick-or-treating I'll still dress up and post a picture of my costume later, y'know, for the lulz. Sorry this post is a little bit blue, but I'm feeling that way.
Ironically, there's one person that'd make my freakin' day if they could trick-or-treat with me. Sadly, we don't talk anymore. Even though we're not on friendly terms I'd still be tickled silly because I know she'd make my Halloween better.
Anyway. I just remembered something! I do have some writing to post! It's some third-person I wrote awhile ago. So, if you feel like reading more, here's something! It's about two of my OC, Bruciare and Emily and how they basically interact (Side note: Emily was the girl in the other 3rd-person story I posted!). Sorry for any grammar mistakes.
"A quiet tapping echoed through the massive room, almost drowned out by the crackling fire a few feet away. The room had dark red walls accompanied by redwood floors, giving the massive space many shadows. Across the room there was a fireplace that lit the room in a dim glow. A few feet away from it was a desk. It was old but still gleaming with expensive taste and fashion. Seated at it was a man, rhythmically tapping his fingers against the wood in annoyance.
A malicious scowl seemed etched onto Bruciare's face, never flickering. He had been thinking for hours but still hadn't quite figured out what to do. Frustration and annoyance had made themselves known hours before and had overstayed their welcome far too long.
The tapping stopped and left the room in silence once more. Without warning the fire lurched out of the fireplace and expanded through the room, quickly gathering at the his feet. He waved the flames off without care and continued to ignore them. Like a child being ignored, the flames hissed and whistled while changing through forms, eventually deciding on a bird.
It perched on the desk and pecked his hand in concern, quietly wondering why he had stopped tapping.
The malicious look was still present when he gracefully stood up and walked away from the desk. Without caring to address the bird, he slithered through a nearby wall and entered a hall. Like the previous room, the halls were themed red and carried a elegant but medieval feel. Every once and awhile he'd see a servant or two skittering towards their destinations, but other then that, he was alone.
Feeling that walking would take too long, he Splintered and rapidly moved through his private residence and towards the sealed off area of his fortress. In seconds he re-formed inside the building and at the top of it's staircase. In front of him there was a wall that seemed as simple as the others. Just as before, he slipped through the barrier and stepped into a room.
The room had a fair sized bed, a wardrobe, several book shelves and one large window. Across the room there was another doorway that led into another room. He quietly made his way towards the door frame and slid into the room, noting the faint smell of smoke. The doorway led into a luxurious bathroom filled with assorted items along with a large bathtub. In it was a young woman, her hair tied up into a bun and most of her body covered in soapy bubbles.
Annoyance sparked but he easily hid it. Concluding that she wouldn't break her silence he contracted his hand and left the room. Once out of sight he Splintered and returned to his private residence. Immediately, the malicious scowl returned. Across the room the fire-bird eagerly flew towards him and circled while he sat back down at his desk. Returning to his pattern, the consistent tapping began again.
Appeased, the bird flew into the fireplace and spread back into it's original form, adding it's crackling to the noise. For a instant Bruciare wondered if the fire could feel pain and contemplated killing it. Just as he was about to try, there was a new sound. He calmly glanced towards his window and noticed something flickering.
Curious, he stood from his desk and slid his hand through the glass. He grabbed onto the flickering object and withdrew his hand, the glass immediately fusing together again. Opening his hand, a glowing red butterfly moved around his hand. He squinted slightly and wondered if he had created the creature while napping. He then remembered that if he had, it would probably be lethal. It reminded him of a firefly because of the glow it gave off, but it was obviously a butterfly.
The tiny bug flickered before flying off, landing on his face instead. Just as he was about to kill it, the tiny creature took off and landed on his desk, specifically on a piece of paper. A small message began to sprawl out against the parchment and as soon as it finished the butterfly dissolved into ash. Getting even more annoyed, Bruciare grabbed the paper and read the message quickly.
Goodnight.
Instantly he knew who it had come from and a small smirk of satisfaction spread across his face. She had sent it. With his brooding attitude gone, he returned to his desk and began working in silence."

So there you go! If you liked it I'd be uber happy if you said so in a comment below! Or if you didn't like it and had critiques! Anyway, I think I'll stop this here. Thanks for reading,

Trying New Things
Writing/reading has always been something I like to do and the more I see all the different styles the more interesting it becomes for me. I've always liked past-tense style stories and third person and recently I've found out how much I dislike present-first-person (it's just a little strange, you know?). As far as writing goes I've always done past tense-first person (the usual style) and only in mid-August did I start trying third person.
Trying a different style was a real eye-opener because I saw how much fun third-person was to write! You can get a lot more descriptive and word things differently then you could sticking with one person. I'm planning on messing around with it more and seeing if I can write some complete stories in that fashion, which would be awesome! I think trying a new style really refreshed my creativity and inspiration! --But at the same time it made me really insecure about all the other stuff I'd written because they all seemed badly done. I'm still kinda feeling like that but maybe writing something new would rub some good vibes on me!
Really though, I highly doubt I'll get any of my ideas out without flipping a few tables. I guess that's just the process sometimes! Plus, I have a feeling I'll get side-tracked and write some sort of comedy/fluff with my different characters in-between for fun.Writing apocalyptic adventure/horror can really bring down your mood.
Maybe in the future I'll include some snippets and bits of writing in these blog posts, who knows! It all depends on what happens. Since Fall Break is next week maybe I'll sit down and do some stuff! That way I'd be doing it for fun and not to procrastinate homework (lol). Oh! Maybe horror? That would work with Halloween!
On another note-- I just check my view counter and apparently this blog has 2,000+ views! That's amazing! Thanks to everyone who's visited!but seriously, it's probably because of the anime pictures.
Well, I think that's all I had to say! Sorry for another short post but my brain is going derp at the moment and the topic is over. I don't know why, but I have a feeling I'll either delete this later or redo it. Oh well! Thanks for reading,
Laura.

Halloween: My Guilty Pleasure
Ah, Halloween, my favorite holiday besides Christmas. I love it when people dress up and decorate their houses for the trick-or-treaters and get really creative with it. Even though there's still the entire month of October left I'm still super excited! There's just something about Halloween that's mysterious, like something "unnatural" could happen at any moment and in the back of your mind there's a part of you that wants it to happen! Well, maybe that's just me, but whatever. I've always like creepy/eerie things (not to be confused with gore) and Halloween has the perfect way to stimulate that interest.
Dressing up is one of the best parts of Halloween now that I'm older (candy is awesome, but it isn't the world anymore). I've gone as a ghost, a zombie bride, a vampire/witch (more times when I'd like to say) and most recently a escaped convict. This year I'm going as a ghost because the last time I dressed as one it was awesome and really fun! I'm super excited about dressing up because I already have a good idea of how my costume will look and this time I can do my own make-up!
Decorating my house is also another great part of Halloween because me, my dad and my little sister go to the extremes when we start setting things up. We usually make 2+ 6ft tall monsters and set them up around our front yard, have spider webs all around in the trees and bushes, and have a stereo system set up with a "Halloween Sounds" CD playing. Last year we made a system where a plastic bat flies down a cord at people! Hopefully this year we'll make something new!
Anyway, I'm sorry for only posting one thing during the entire month of September, but I was a little busy with other things like schooland reading all 6,000 pages of Homestuck. This month I'm planning to update much more with Halloween things like the progress of my costume! That, and of course anything else that comes to mind! I think in the next post I'll talk about what's going on with my writing because there are a few things I need to work on and blah blah blah. Ha ha.
Thanks for reading,

A New Set Up and a Few Good Things
Right now things are pretty awesome. A few days ago I got a bran-spanking-new desk and cleared out half my room. Everything is so clean and new-looking it just makes me happy to be here. Having a desk is so nice because before I did all my homework and writing while sitting on my bed, and if you've done that before you know how uncomfortable and annoying that can get. It's funny how much better I feel sitting at it and working, it's like a whole load of stress just got lifted off my shoulders.
(The lighting is really weird because it's night and if I didn't use flash on my camera you wouldn't see anything, so please excuse that)
Man, I'm just in a really good mood right now! Other then the desk I got a new book shelve which can actually hold most of my books! (my collection has grown a lot over the years...) Hmm, sorry this is so short but my carpal tunnel is acting up again. Anyway, that's all for now!I have a lot of things on my mind and if I keep going who knows what kind of shit I'll talk about.

The Compound
While reading it all the emotions of the characters and the rising tension were almost overwhelmingly real. I strongly recommend the book to teens that like apocalyptic thrillers and mystery. But, is a part in the book that may not be for the faint-hearted, so if you're easily startled by things like that, it may not be for you. Nonetheless, it's a great book and I hope more people read it! I give the book 5/5 stars.
"Starred Review. Bodeen, acclaimed as the writer of such picture books as Elizabeti's Doll, turns out a high-wire act of a first novel, a thriller that exerts an ever-tighter grip on readers.
Eli, the 15-year-old son of a billionaire techno-preneur, has spent the last six years with his family in the massive underground shelter his father has built, knowing that nuclear war has destroyed the world he knows—and killed his grandmother and his twin brother, who couldn't reach the compound in time. With nine years to go before the air outside will be safe to breathe again, the food supply shows signs of running out, but Eli's father has a solution—provided they jettison all morals and ethics. Repulsed and already suspicious, Eli begins investigating his father's claims, and sets up a family death match against a man who grows increasingly irrational and sinister but no less powerful.
As far-fetched as the premise may be, Bodeen keeps Eli's actions true to life and uses clues planted fairly and in plain sight. The audience will feel the pressure closing in on them as they, like the characters, race through hairpin turns in the plot toward a breathless climax." - Publishers Weekly.

Any who, on another note, I won't be able to post anything for awhile for a few reasons. One of them being I have a mild case of carpal tunnel, and it really, really, doesn't feel good to be on the computer. Oh! I finally saw that my blog settings were made so only blog members(?) could comment, so if you've ever tried but couldn't, sorry! Thanks for reading,

Good Times
Even though I've been sick most of the week things have been fun. My spark for fanfiction is quickly itching back and I've been brainstorming constantly with different plot-lines and character designs. I think now that I have a clear head and a better understanding of writing things will be easier to work on! I've also been smoothing out one of my original stories called Guardian Genesis. I think I have a secret peeve for details, which is a good thing in my opinion. Honestly, I could write about a room and go on for paragraphs!
Anyway, moving on from the hobbies, some other really neat stuff happened. Out of some miracle, I went down a pants size! It was so pleasing to know working out IS helping! Right now I'm feeling so confident in myself, and it's awesome!
Tonight also had a pleasant surprise. While I was on Gmail checking my emails, one of my friends IM'd me. We've known each other for three or four years now, and have had quite a few rough spots. Me and him usually get along on par and can start aruging in seconds. I've never told any of my IRL friends this (other then my old BFF), but honestly, sometimes he's the best person in the world. He's the only friend I've ever had that's straight-up punched me, knocked me down, and gloated while being a complete gentlemen the entire time. He can be an asshole too, and sometimes I really hate him, but we always end up talking again. So when he IM'd me today and said "You're a good writer", it was... a little unnerving.
After a few seconds I realized he was serious. Then I realized I had the weirdest, smuggest look on my face. He's like a brother to me, in every single frickin' way. Even down to the read-your-diary-in-secret part.
I guess that describes how our friendship is. Ha ha.
Well, that's all for now! Sorry this post is short, but I just wanted to put up a little update because tomorrow I'll be drowning in homework and drawings. Thanks for reading,
Laura.

Creative Frenzy!
Today while relaxing I decided to draw a few things and post them on my DeviantArt. One of those things was a quick sketch of Ulquiorra (from Bleach). I thought it'd be cool to put the picture up over here!
Originally I wanted to draw him as a chibi, but obviously he isn't very "chibi-like". I still love how the sketch turned out. He doesn't have hands or a face because, one, if I drew a face it'd take forever, and two, I can't draw hands. I loved drawing his hair and clothes though. His mask was a little hard to sketch, but it turned out ok. Ulquiorra has always been easy for me to draw. :)
Lately I've been drawing all sorts of things, specifically my original characters. I've been writing a lot too! I've decided to re-write my first fan fiction because it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I wrote it when I was roughly around 10 and had posted it on a site called Quizilla. It was a Bleach AU fan fiction called "People Care". I've already started to re-write it, and everything is going great!
I have to say though, the only reason my motivation spiked was because one of my very lovely online-writer friends has been incredibly supportive. Without her I probably wouldn't be re-writing it. :)
Well, that's all for now. At the moment I'm really sick and sound like a Ghoul from Fallout, so I think I'll cut it off here.

My Attempt At Third Person. Derp.
Tonight I was listening to some music and suddenly the word "meek" popped into my head. It wouldn't go away so I decided to write up a quick story in order to get rid of the itch. While I was thinking about what to write, two of my characters came up. I love them, so I decided to write a little snippet of their history. Then I decided to write in third person, which I suck royally at. The original took me about ten minutes to write but then my computer crashed and I lost everything. After going into a all-caps rage I re-wrote it, taking much less time. I actually like how it turned out, so I thought I'd document my first semi-successful third person story on this blog. It's super short, but that's ok! Anyway, read it if you want to, and if you like it I'd love it if you left a comment saying so.
WARNING: This hasn't been checked for grammar and hasn't been edited at all, so some parts may or may not be a little wacky. Enjoy!
The halls were silent, the only sound coming from the creaking windows. Outside, the November winds crashed against the fragile glass without care, threatening to break them. Everyone in the massive fortress had gone to bed hours earlier, leaving the building to seem abandoned. In the distance there was the faint sound of footsteps accompanied by a clicking sound. As the clicking continued it bounced off the walls and echoed down every corridor.
Realizing she was identifying her position, the boot's owner stopped. Swearing under her breath, the young woman slipped her boots off and apologized to her companion. He nodded briefly before continuing his pace, looking back every few minutes to make sure she was keeping up.
The cold floors seared her feet, but the woman ignored it and continued after the man. In a few minutes they arrived at a door. Curious, the young woman asked where it led. The man smiled slightly and answered in a hush tone, telling her it led to their target. Once he had said it, the woman was smiling in excitement while he took a key off his person and unlocked the door. It lazily swung open and revealed a long hall lined with doors. At the end there was a single door that looked the oldest and the most recently used.
Without hesitating the man walked through and waited for his companion, once she was through he shut the hall door and locked it in place once more. While he was doing that, the young woman had already made her way to the end of the hall and was jiggling the seconds doors handle. The man walked briskly down to her and pulled out a second key, quickly unlocking it. Like the first one, the door swung open and revealed a small room.
Struck with wonder, the young woman walked in and looked around carefully. There was a old canopy bed against the wall with a soft looking blanket covering the mattress. Without asking she walked over and sat down, nearly having a heart attack when the bed gave out a loud creak. The man stood across the room, chuckling to himself and trying to hide it behind his black turtle neck. The young woman flushed before continuing to take in the room. Other then the bed there was a desk littered with books, pictures and scattered papers along with a luxurious looking window seat. The entire room was coated in a light layer of dust, giving it an even older feeling.
She walked over and curled against the pillows provided, enjoying the comfy feel of them. The window looked out on the nearby forest while a city's lights glittered in the distance. A feeling of yearning took over her, reviving her secret dream of escaping the fortress she lived in. For the time being though, she was content with nestling in the pillows and drifting off.
From across the room the man walked over and sat down next to her, accidentally forcing a layer of dust up from the seat. She sneezed a few times then scooted over to him, resting her head on his shoulder while looking for warmth. He was only a few year older then her, looking like a young 20 year old. He was slim and tall, giving him a graceful cat-like figure. His raven black hair fell in choppy layers, ending around the bottom of his neck. His eyes always seemed to change color, but normally stayed gold. They shined even brighter against his pale skin complexion, and seemed to glow in the dark.
He thought briefly then wrapped an arm around her shoulder, trying to make both of them more comfortable. She smiled to herself then looked up at him, her green eyes sparkling in the dark. He craned down and gently kissed her, smiling slightly when her cheeks turned a light pink.
They sat together in the dark for the rest of the night, meekly exchanging kisses and eventually moving towards more intimate things. Through the entire night though, the feeling of light happiness hung in the man's heart, giving him a sense of weightlessness. Every kiss he was allowed to give her felt like a load lifted from his shoulders.
So yeah! There it is, my little short. That's all for now,

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (SPOILERS)
Yesterday me, my sisters and my dad went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Halfway through the movie my little sister had a panic attack and we had to leave. After lots of work, I got my dad to take us again today because me and my older sister needed to see the end. It was such a epic movie, and I can't wait to watch it a third time on DVD.
But there is something I want to say.
SNAPE. WHY DID YOU DIE. OH MY GOD. WHY DID YOU DIE. BECAUSE OF YOU I CRIED IN THE MOVIE THEATRE TWICE. YOU SHOULD HAVE KICKED VOLDEMORT'S ASS. OH MY GOD WHY DID YOU DIE. I WILL FIND ROWLING AND MAKE HER CHANGE IT. OH MY SWEET MONKEY JESUS YOU WERE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER.
Alright, now that my all-caps rage is over... It was a great movie! I know I already said it, but whatever. That's all I have to say, thanks for reading!

Alright, now that my all-caps rage is over... It was a great movie! I know I already said it, but whatever. That's all I have to say, thanks for reading!

Pride
Last week something really great happened to me, I just never mentioned it. It was something I'd never gone through before, and in the end made me change the way I write. Before going to the main topic, I'm going to explain what happened to me this past week.
It started when I wrote a report for school. It was something I immediately loved writing and finished it in two hours. When it was done I looked over and felt genuinely proud of my work because the report was long and detailed.
My dad saw me and walked over, asking if he could read. I was a little nervous but handed over the papers and let him. After a minute or two he looked up and started complementing me on my work, saying things like "This sounds so professional!" and "It's really well written!". At first I didn't know if he was joking or not, and when I realized he was serious I felt absolutely amazing because it was genuine.
That night I couldn't go to sleep because I was so excited to hear my my mom (teacher) thought of it, and what grade it would get. After hearing my dad talk about it so nicely I felt so proud and wanted to see if my mom liked it too.
Sure enough the next day came and I got up for school. Like always, me and my mom sat down on our couch and began going over my homework from the previous day. When we got to the report part I was so excited and nervous while she read. Finally, after a few minutes she looked up with a big smile and said it was great. I felt so happy that moment, because I know my mom, and if the report was bad she would tell me immediately and start pointing out problems.
Then I did something I thought I'd never do.
"If you think this is good, you should read my stories."
And that was it. She took me up on that offer and I printed out one of my best projects. The project I wanted to show her was (and is) one of the best stories I've written, and I loved writing every minute of it. Obviously she didn't read it right away, in fact it took a day and a half.
The next day around 4:00, my mom was driving me to the gym. On the way there she turns to me with a big smile on her face. I laughed kind of nervously and guessed that she had read my story. Sure enough, she tells me that she read it. I asked her what she thought of it and got one hell of a answer.
She said she'd read it earlier in the day and started crying a little afterwards. I had no idea why she would cry, but didn't say anything. She went on to say that the story was great, and she's love to read more. There were other things said, but that's something I want to keep to myself.
I was so surprised, flattered and overall emotional because for the first time in my life, someone told me they liked my stories without a sarcastic smile. Of course I've been told my stories are good online and on my publishing websites, but this was IRL. I hadn't even explained the background or my story's universe to her, but my mom still liked it. That was something that meant more to me then any friend's opinion or online review. It also meant more to be because she was actually interested in the story, and asked questions about it instead of just reading it, saying it's good, then stopping.
It made me think of something, specifically my fan fictions. Fan fiction was the starting point of my writing, and in the beginning I had lots of fun with it. Over the years writing it became boring and dull. I didn't feel any pride in my fan fictions, just me goofing off and having a jolly time. It all became about pleasing other people, and getting things out quick. No thought or planning went into the work, and even though the finished product was good, it paled in comparison to my originals stories.
Every thing is different when I'm writing my stories. I work hard, spend weeks on a single chapter, edit it, go through the work, have an amazing time writing and planning, researching the facts and looking through the dictionary for new words. And in the end I feel proud of my work, I read it and think "This is good!"
As a writer, I think that if you're not happy with your work, then don't say it's finished. Don't throw it out into the public because you have a dead-line, work on it. Work on it until you're happy with the product! Because if you're not happy with it, then what's the point?
Writing fan fiction wasn't something I took pride in, and looking back at the things I published, it's gross how many bad things I posted. Of course I still like writing fan fiction, in fact I'm working on several, but for now I'm sticking to what I do best.
Ah, that was a good little rant. That's all for now. I leave you with this picture!

How Does It Work?
When we listen to music, no matter what kind, it normally draws out a emotional reaction depending on the song. Lately I've wondered, why does music have that affect on us? Is it just our brain responding to the vibrations of the sound and tempo or something else? Why is it that when we listen to "sad" songs we start feeling the shadow of that emotion, sometimes strong, sometimes weak?
A few days ago my sister wanted to watch Spirited Away, a Japanese movie I'd gotten for one of my early birthdays. During a scene in the beginning of the movie one of the theme songs started to play, a calm piano song called "One Summer's Day". Out of nowhere I started getting teary-eyed and had to hide my face behind my lap-top's computer screen, which was really weird for me. I normally never cry during movies or sad things, so this was a little shocking. Maybe I reacted that way because of the memories I have connected with that song.
My mom gave me the movie on my 5th or 6th birthday, and I loved it. I didn't obsess over it, or become a fan girl, I remember treasuring it. I don't even remember watching the movie, but I do remember that I connected to it. Maybe that's why the song made me react that way, but still, it doesn't explain much.
There are tons of songs out there that have sparked emotion in me, rock songs, metal, pop, Japanese, and hundreds of lyric-less songs. I still don't know why though. What is it in music that draws out emotion? Even in the simplest songs in old video games drew reactions from me, like the original Zelda theme on the GameBoy, or the Okage: Shadow King soundtrack on the PS2!
I know for a fact that other people react to music the same way as me, from browsing YouTube comments to talking face-to-face with people, it's a fact. But why? Does music stimulate a part of the brain and automatically trigger emotion?
There's probably a biologist out there who could answer me, but I like to ponder! Anyway, that's it for now, I'm done ranting for today. This is just something that I've been thinking about. :)

Yeeeeeeessssss
My dad just read one of the reports I did and said it was something you'd expect from a critic, and that it's well written and would pass just fine in highschool. It wasn't my best work.

This post proves I'm a internet nerd. If you know why, well then...
I had another lovely day! I had some epic pizza and the guy serving us was so funny and nice all I could think was "GOOD SIR, MAY WE BE FRIENDS?" Ha ha. It was fun. I also got a bunch of manga :3
Well, anyway, the reason I made this post is because I just got a special message.
I don't know why this makes me happy! In case you can't read it, it says "I generally don't review. In fact I generally just read smut anyway. But I really love this fanfiction, and I can't wait for it to continue." I get lots of reviews on this story, most of them very flattering, but I haven't gotten any in awhile. It just made my day to read this :3 Also, I wasn't planning to continue writing this story, but now I have to because this was my reaction after reading it.
"I MUST WRITE TONIGHT!"
<yay for meme faces!> So yeah. Now I have to write more, plus, I sent her a reply saying it'd be out in a week or two. Oh man, this is gonna behard fun! I have 3+ reports to write and four books to read. //dies.
Thanks for reading,

Busy Busy Day!
Today was absolutely lovely!
In the morning my mom took me out into the country for her choir practice, and on the way there we stopped at a cafe and got drinks and snacks. I got a iced-green tea and a raspberry-chocolate bread treat, it was sooo yummy.
Once we got to the choir practice area I went off and did some homework while my mom sang. It was nice because we've had a lot of rain so every thing was green and fresh! After that I read my book until my mom finished.
When choir was over we drove up into town and went to my favorite place; Barns & Noble. I got a manga and a crap load of school books, and even a little Writer's Challenge book! We ate at the stores cafe, which had stupidly good food, and chatted. Now I know I can learn Italian! While talking my mom asked me what language I wanted to learn, and I chose the language of Italy! It's gonna be so fun to learn.
I took a nap on the way home and watched Say Yes To The Dress once we got home. Once that was done I went back to my homework. Then something really weird happened!
Me, my mom, and my little sister drove to my older sisters high school. She was having a mini-concert with the rest of the band, and the school's football team was playing. First off, oh my sweet-monkey jezuz. Jocks are so intimidating, and foul smelling. Mostly intimidating. While walking up to the stadium the entire foot-ball team walked up from behind us and charged forward. I was walking on the edge of the path the entire time, trying to stay out of their way. Once we got our seats it was noisy as hell because the drummers were banging around as much as possible (TWSS). We stayed for an hour or so then left. Man, the entire time I was just observing all the different students, which are very weird.
There were girls who had stuffed their bra's so badly it was just sad to look at, and other that really didn't need too. There were tall teens, short teen, thin ones and big ones, and even one guy who was wearing a bright neon pink beanie. It was a weird trip. Haha xD
And that brings us to the present, right now, as I'm writing this! A few minutes ago I posted some things to my DeviantART account, nothing special, just some doodles made on Picnik.
That's all for now! Thanks for reading,
Laura.

Gym Stumbling and Writer's Workshop
Today I found out I was going to be able to go to a writer's workshop with a teacher who sounds pretty cool. I'm really happy about going because it sounds really fun, and I learned that one of the moms is bringing her daughter! Maybe we'll be able to chat. It'd be fun to chat with another young writer, hopefully she's around my age.
The first class is next month, a few towns down from where I live. It's a all day thing, and sometimes there are other times when the group gets together (the teacher is just a visitor, I think.) and they all read and review each others work! My mom has been there and says it's really fun and all the people are nice. I really can't wait to start going! This is also a great way for me to get impartial opinions on my stories!
Later on in the afternoon I went to the gym and had a very short workout. Why? I didn't have anything to drink the entire day other then a cup of coke. I was so dehydrated I got dizzy and my stomach twisted up. I felt really bad leaving early, but I couldn't keep going. My mom drove me home and I chugged down few bottles of water. I feel much better now, so that'd good.
Tonight I think I'll try writing some more of my story, Bellicose In France. I have two chapers' so far, and it's pretty fun. Lately I haven't had much time to write, between the gym, school, and cleaning, there just hasn't been enough time. It makes me a little sad but I guess it's for the better. I have been drawing a lot though, my notebook is quickly filling up. I'm starting to really like how my doodles are coming out. If I can get a good camera (my cell phone is totalled) I think I take some pictures of my doodles, clean them up, and post them on my DeviantART. All the stuff I have on there isn't anything I'm actually proud of.
In other news, I think I'm officially in love with a song. It's one of my top 10 favorites, and I first heard it in the Assassin's Creed: Revelations trailer. It's called Iron, by Woodkid. Every time I listen to it I start liking it more! Maybe one day I'll post a list of my top 10 songs, I think it'd be fun. My taste in music varies, much I've always like the more dramatic, comedic, rock metal, soundtrack, or eerie kind. And when I say eerie, I mean Creature Feature's "Gory Demise" kind of eerie. I've always like things with heavy beats, you know, lots of drums. Three Days Grace is one of my favorite bands, I have all of their Cd's. One day I'll get a shirt and poster! I've also started liking "creepy carnival" music.. Weird huh?
All right I'm going to stop now before I rant too much.

I'm Feeling Philosophical and Wise.
So lately I've been thinking about a lot of things, mostly religion, the future, and my personal morals. Weird stuff for a thirteen year old to think about, huh? Well, considering my mother is a Buddhist monk and my dad is a pacifist, and every thing else, in a way it is normal. I wanted to make a post about this because I want to be able to come back and read my thoughts once I'm older, and see how much I change over the years. I'm sorry if my opinions or thoughts offend you or your religion, but this is just what a think.
I'll start off with religion. No one other then my mother has a certified religious status, and no one really cares. We all go to a UU church, but not that often, so it doesn't count in my opinion. Personally, I've never been a big fan of religion. I think it'd because from a young age I've only seen the "bad" kinds, and so for awhile my mind was set on hating people of certain religions. Christians being one of them. As I've grown up though, my view and opinions on things have changed. It was really, really stupid of me to continuously hate any Christian I came across just because I disagreed with them, and I'm so thankful I got out of that.
Moving on. Lately I've thinking about two things that Christianity seems to focus on a lot, Heaven and Hell. The idea of being sent into a place like hell must have really scared people back in the day, and even now in modern time some people are probably scared. The only way you could avoid going was to follow the righteous path, and through that you would go to Heaven.
Then I started thinking, "If there's no Heaven or Hell, where do we go?" We decompose and fade into the earth, most likely buried in a local cemetery. As for our conscious, it just ends. Black. Absolutely nothing. That's a scary thought, isn't it? That once we die, there nothing waiting ahead. It's hard to imagine, and it honestly scared the crap out of me. So then I started thinking, "What if Heaven and Hell are real?" Instantly, I felt better. Even if I were placed in Hell, it would be somewhere. I'd still be conscious, still able to think and move.
Shortly after that, I started wondering if some people believe in those places simply for comfort. To put all their heart and souls into believing it, as some sort of salvation. In a way I'd like there to be some sort of after-life, some place that I'd go to after my life as Laura ends. Reincarnation is a nice thought, and it's something that I believe in. Back to the point. Maybe some people do follow the religion of Christianity for closure, maybe not even consciously. Alright, that's all I have to say.
Secondly, my morals. Where to start, where to start... I have so many different morals concerning all sorts of things. I think it might be easier to make a list, it's not nearly as professional as writing them all down separately, but it's quicker and straight to the point. Alright, here we go.
1. Sex Under 17. Under aged sex is becoming a huge thing, and honestly, it's pretty disgusting. I know other thirteen year olds' who have already done all sorts of things, and have heard about people much younger turning up with active HIV's and young pregnancy. It's something people need to take seriously. Not to mention it's all everyone talks about any more (well, as far as 70% of teenagers go), and it's distracting in school and disturbing at home. I know a little girl, she just turned 11, and her mother is going to let her read lemons (smut). Honestly, that is wrong on so many levels.
2. Kids under 13 Need Using Adult Language. This takes a bit of explaining. Of course I'm ok with other kids my age saying 'crap', or 'bullshit', that's normal. And hell, we even say f**k every once and awhile, but if theres one thing we don't do, it's parade around and say it openly. What bothers me most is when I see 8-12 year old marching around swearing like no tomorrow, and their parents doing nothing. That is absolutely horrible parenting. Once again, I used to know an 11 year old girl who would say f**k all the time, even in the presence of her mother. Her 8 year old brother said it too! When their mother didn't even twitch I was blown away, I mean, how could a parent sit there and do nothing?! Anyone under the age of 13 shouldn't be saying anything but 'crap'.
3. No School. Oh my lord this one bugs the hell out of me. People who don't go to school, or use the term "UN-Schooled". People in America are dumb enough without people deciding to skip out of lessons because their to lazy. Kid's need education, they need it as much as food and water. I've seen kid's who are in 8th grade and still can't spell! That's ridiculous. Parents need to either send their kids to school or actually home-school them. And when I say actually school them, I mean setting a schedule, working 8 hours a day and doing it every day. UN-Schooling is just a term for parents when they just don't care to take care of their kids.
Those are some of my morals. Of course there are many more, but I honestly don't want to bore you. Morals are very important things to me, and I will treasure them forever.
Thirdly, the future. Honestly, there's so much to talk about here I need to skip it. I could probably take all the space above and devote it to my opinion on The Future, but this post is already getting long. I may make another post some other time following this up, but not tonight. I need to get ready for tomorrow.

Absolutely nothing. That's a scary thought, isn't it? That once we die, there nothing waiting ahead. It's hard to imagine, and it honestly scared the crap out of me. So then I started thinking, "What if Heaven and Hell are real?" Instantly, I felt better. Even if I were placed in Hell, it would be somewhere. I'd still be conscious, still able to think and move.
Shortly after that, I started wondering if some people believe in those places simply for comfort. To put all their heart and souls into believing it, as some sort of salvation. In a way I'd like there to be some sort of after-life, some place that I'd go to after my life as Laura ends. Reincarnation is a nice thought, and it's something that I believe in. Back to the point. Maybe some people do follow the religion of Christianity for closure, maybe not even consciously. Alright, that's all I have to say.
Secondly, my morals. Where to start, where to start... I have so many different morals concerning all sorts of things. I think it might be easier to make a list, it's not nearly as professional as writing them all down separately, but it's quicker and straight to the point. Alright, here we go.
1. Sex Under 17. Under aged sex is becoming a huge thing, and honestly, it's pretty disgusting. I know other thirteen year olds' who have already done all sorts of things, and have heard about people much younger turning up with active HIV's and young pregnancy. It's something people need to take seriously. Not to mention it's all everyone talks about any more (well, as far as 70% of teenagers go), and it's distracting in school and disturbing at home. I know a little girl, she just turned 11, and her mother is going to let her read lemons (smut). Honestly, that is wrong on so many levels.
2. Kids under 13 Need Using Adult Language. This takes a bit of explaining. Of course I'm ok with other kids my age saying 'crap', or 'bullshit', that's normal. And hell, we even say f**k every once and awhile, but if theres one thing we don't do, it's parade around and say it openly. What bothers me most is when I see 8-12 year old marching around swearing like no tomorrow, and their parents doing nothing. That is absolutely horrible parenting. Once again, I used to know an 11 year old girl who would say f**k all the time, even in the presence of her mother. Her 8 year old brother said it too! When their mother didn't even twitch I was blown away, I mean, how could a parent sit there and do nothing?! Anyone under the age of 13 shouldn't be saying anything but 'crap'.
3. No School. Oh my lord this one bugs the hell out of me. People who don't go to school, or use the term "UN-Schooled". People in America are dumb enough without people deciding to skip out of lessons because their to lazy. Kid's need education, they need it as much as food and water. I've seen kid's who are in 8th grade and still can't spell! That's ridiculous. Parents need to either send their kids to school or actually home-school them. And when I say actually school them, I mean setting a schedule, working 8 hours a day and doing it every day. UN-Schooling is just a term for parents when they just don't care to take care of their kids.
Those are some of my morals. Of course there are many more, but I honestly don't want to bore you. Morals are very important things to me, and I will treasure them forever.
Thirdly, the future. Honestly, there's so much to talk about here I need to skip it. I could probably take all the space above and devote it to my opinion on The Future, but this post is already getting long. I may make another post some other time following this up, but not tonight. I need to get ready for tomorrow.
Thank you for reading,
Laura.
Merry First Day of School! (short post)
Bwaahahahahahahahahah! You have no idea how happy I am right now. NO IDEA <creepily stares>. Today I went to the gym with my mom for PE and absolutely destroyed my record of the treadmill, crunch count, and weight-lifting! It was so awesome.
I set the back weight lifter (a machine where you have to push with your knees in order to push your back all the way down, with the pressure of weight) on 85lbs, and absolutely pwned it. I did some Sets of thirty for awhile then popped off.
On the treadmill I went for the "climb" (incline) setting, started going 4 miles per-hour, and went vertically uphill on level 11 (it goes to 15) for thirty minutes. I swear to god if I went any longer my ankles would've snapped. Since I was going up so much, all of my weight was forced back onto my ankles, making it pretty hard sometimes. Afterwards I was so proud. :3
Let's see, ah yes, the crunch machine. I didn't get as far as the other ones, but it was still awesome. I crunched with the weight setting on 56lbs. It was pretty mellow, but I'm still happy.
Compared to how much I did when I first started going, this is a mother effin' miracle. I'm so happy, and proud. I think my machine records are pretty damn great for a chubby, Dwarf-Like, thirteen-year old girl. Although... I one of my old friends who's a tad younger then me (a few months) could barely lift 50lbs, and she was way healthier then me. Maybe it's just because I've been working out for awhile. I've always been strong :3 Ah, well, I'm done ranting now. Oh! One more thing.
How was every one's first day of school? My sisters and I had a pretty interesting morning, ha ha. I'm really excited for the school year to get going, right now I'm prepping for high school. Next year I'll be going to my sisters, it'll be awesome. Today was really fun, I did some Vocab, Math, History, Writing, and Art (speaking of art, I finally drew my OC Emily in good detail. It's awesome). I had to stop early though because my little sister came home <sad face> Anyway, I hope every one else had a great day. School is one of the most important things, even if it can be hard. I can't wait for college.
That's all for now,
Laura.

Day 25: Lord of The Rings vs Harry Potter and Fanfiction Un-Addiction
Hello and Welcome to my blog.
Firstly, who else agrees that LOTR's is absolutely amazing? The landscape, characters, story-line, emotional triggers ans scenes... Man, I just can't get over it. In some ways I say it's better then the Harry Potter movies. LOTR has characters you can connect to more, beautiful scenery (much better then the dark halls of Hogwarts...) and even though there's only three movies, they're so absorbing and interesting.
Harry Potter is good, but there are a lot of things that you just can't compare to Lord of The Rings. Anyway, comment down below and tell me which you prefer!
Secondly, something serious has changed about me. I've now admitted to myself that writing bleach fan fiction is painfully boring to me. I've been trying to write some of my FF called A Step In Your World (c), but it failed. I think it's because the story is too boring for me, the characters are flat and bland, and it was a hateful project. My copyright on it is still strong and firm (so if anyone even dares to write, claim, or distrubute it at all, I will sue their ass), but I'm abandoning it for now. I'm moving on to bigger and better things, things that are original and fun to write. Of course I'm still writing other fan fictions for things like Assassin's Creed, Fallout: New Vegas, Red vs Blue, and possibly some Bleach, just not ASIYW. So fan fiction is still in my life, it's just gonna be a little different. :)

Day 23: Awesome People of Awesome-ness.
Hello and Welcome to my blog!
So a idea just randomly popped in my mind and I thought I should do it! Right now I'm gonna make a list of awesome people, where you can find them, and what they do.
1) AishaxNekox. Aisha is a drawer and you can find her on DeviantART or YouTube. She has epic drawing skills and is a all around cool person (well, from what us Internet fans can tell).

2) Humon. Humon is another artist from DeviantART. She's a friendly Danish woman (speaks fluent English) who draws comics that can make a person literally "lol". Some of her art is more 18+ material, so she may not be the best choice for young kids. I definitely suggest you check her out!
Her DeviantART: http://humon.deviantart.com/
3) DudeLikeHELLA. DudeLikeHELLA is a video vlogger who's just awesome. His name is Cory Williams, a actor and professional You Tuber. I strongly suggest you check him out if you like comedy, madness, and just plain weird stuff.
His YouTube: http://www.YouTube.com/DudeLikeHELLA.
4) RabbitBleachFan. Rabbit is a writer and the person who inspired me to write fan fiction. She also writes fan fictions mostly for the anime Bleach. If you like that kind of stuff, check her out on Fanfiction.net

5) TribeTwelve & EverymanHYBRID. Do you like horror? Ever heard of Slender man? Like having the absolute crap scared out of you? Then these are the people for you! TribeTwelve and EverymanHYBRID are two different YouTube channels devoted to Slender man and his allies, they're cleverly filmed and always make you paranoid afterwards. WARNING: Children under the age of 13 should not watch these videos.

Day 22: Blood Tests and Silly Kids.
Hello and Welcome to my blog. :)
Ah, where to start.
Yesterday I went to a clinic and got some blood taken for a check-up. The doctor just called and informed me that there was, well, bad stuff. I'm not naming it for personal reasons. There's gonna be a lot of changes in my life from now on, and I'm probably gonna be taking medication. I'm probably overreacting, but the problem they found in my blood will get worse if I don't stop it. And trust me, it's gonna be a bitch to kill. Ha ha.
Anyway. Other then the blood tests, some stuff happened in my life yesterday. One of my friends, let's call her "Gretchen", had a fit and we've stopped talking. It was absolutely ridiculous. You know why she had a fit? Well, I'll tell you. I'm writing a story, it's one of the most precious things to me in the world. I was gonna ask two of my writer buddies to look at it and give me their opinion. I knew I could trust them to give me a impartial answer because they've trusted me with their stories before too, and they're all around good people.
So "Gretchen" heard that I was going to ask them and was pissed because I didn't ask her. She started having a fit and saying things like "fuck friends! Especially the ones who think your opinions are dumb". That was her Gmail status. It was so stupid. I mean really? When she asked why she wasn't going to see the story I said "Because I need a impartial opinion." I bet she didn't even know what that meant...
Then she blew up and started spewing all sorts of things that made no sense. She even tried to state a copyright claim on my character Jona. The only part of Jona she has ANYTHING to do with is the name. She didn't come up with her looks, personality, abilities, NOTHING. "Gretchen" wanted me to use
her version of Jona's background, and I said yes, but never added it because "Gretchen" is not her owner.
All and all, I'm glad I don't have to deal with her dramatic, violent, narrow-visioned and perverse personality anymore. Honestly, I'm ready to move and get into the world, and find someone who can be my writer buddy.
Even though the past two days have been bad, and even though the blood results will have a impact on my future, it's ok. Because now I'm free of old friends who have no interest in me, and can roam to find new ones. Even though it's a dark time, I have to remember that after the dark is dawn. And the dawn is coming! (Dark Knight Quote FTW!)

Day 20: Manga Reviews
Hey guys, it's me and I'm here so review and suggest some manga! Before we get started, let me say, our opinion may differ. OK, now that that's been addressed, let's get started. I'll be reviewing two manga's today, Pandora Hearts and Black Butler.
1. Pandora Hearts by Jun Mochizuki.
Pandora Hearts is a fantasy manga with a beautiful art-style and a very interesting story-line. All the characters are unique and interesting, each having their own personality and looks. Once you get into the story it's easy to become attached to the characters because of the thought put into them. When it comes to the mysterious characters, all you want to do is know more about them. Another good thing about Pandora hearts in the emotion that comes along with everything else. It's such a emotional and heart-felt manga, and can make a person teary-eyed at certain points. That's what got me hooked when I read the first manga, it was a refreshing change to what I normally read and had that touch of thoughtfulness no one can miss.
I definitely recommend this manga to anyone looking for some good laughs and a whole lot of fun. I'm not done with the series yet, but I give it a 4½ out of 5 for.
*
2. Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) by Yana Toboso.
Black Butler is definitely a interesting manga. It has a great art-style and a mysterious story-line. I always enjoy reading the manga because of the mystery and horror it offers. The characters are also entertaining, whether it's comedy or seriousness, they all seem to pull it off. All of the characters are likable in their own way, and I'm always switching through favorites. It's a more darker manga and referred to people ages 13+ because there are some scenes that aren't good for children. It's a great manga and I recommend it to anyone who likes comedic horror. 4/5.
*
That's all for today! Hopefully you guys will check these out, cause they're AWESOME. Anyway, thanks for reading!

Day 19: My Top 5 Hottest Anime Guys (I think)
I made "Awesome Anime Guys" but this is COMPLETELY different. These are some of my all-time favorite Anime guys.
![]()
1. Xerxes Break from Pandora Hearts.
![]()
2. Gilbert Nightray from Pandora Hearts
![]()
3. The Undertaker from Black Butler.
![]()
4. Grimmjow Jeagerjaques from Bleach.
![]()
5. Kakashi Hakate from Naruto.
Aaaaaaaaand that's all she wrote. After making this list, I realized something... I think I have a thing for guys with white/silver hair. Not just because 3/5 guys had that hair color, but because if Grimmjow wasn't so hot, I would've probably picked Stein from Soul Eater. That would've been 4/5 guys with white hair. omg. Also, Grell from Black Butler would've been here, but I couldn't find a good picture of him <sad-face>.
Thanks for reading, bye~!

Day 18: Not the Same Anymore -Rant-
Nothing stays the same nowadays. Leaves change color, the sun rises, the moon falls, the wind gets hotter and people start walking around. Animals shed, and most of the good TV channels are dead.
Every week, every day, things change. Nature, animals, people and feelings. Nothing stays the same for more then a minute, even if your sitting. Sometimes we don't even notice the change until it's already complete, and it can be upsetting.
People seem to change the most. Personalities, likes, dislikes, opinions, they can all change so fast we don't even know what's going on. Some people love change, they just can't wait for something new to come along! But there are people who don't like change. For those people, change can be scary. It means there'll be something different in their lives that they might not be familiar with.
Some people are afraid of their friends changing, because then they might move on. Others are afraid of moving into a new place, completely leaving their homes behind for something new.
Personally, I try to embrace change. In fact, there have been a lot of changes in my life lately. Some good, some bad.
The bad things aren't very fun, but the good things make it much better. Some people I know have been saying I've changed personality wise, actually, a lot of people have made that comment.
But the truth is, my personality hasn't changed at all. In fact, it's at it's all-time-high. All my life I've always been hesitant to say what I want, or speak my true opinions. All that holding back finally caught up with me while I was on my Vacation in San Diego. I tried my best to ignore it, but once I got home it hit again, harder. I barely came out of my room for a week, and basically snarled at anyone who came within 5ft of me. Any inspiration for writing was gone and I forced myself to write simple things. Nothing was interesting, I only wanted to bitch-slap my friends so they'd understand what I wanted to tell them.
It got to the point where I just needed to get over it, but I was still angry. Finally I saw my mom, she'd been away for the entire week at a friends house. I opened up to her and talked about how I'd been sad, and kept going for 3 hours. Seriously. Three hours. Afterwards I felt ok again.
Looking back on it, I know I've been screwing myself over. That week was unbearable, and I never want it to happen again. So, I'm going to change how I work. Like I said in a earlier post, I'm gonna be myself from now on. And so start off, I'm gonna post a meme I did. It's the "I hate List" meme, and I decided to do it a few weeks ago. It's been growing pretty fast, and is completely honest. So, without further ado, I'm gonna paste it below.
***

I hate how people think I'm stupid or naive for wanting a happy life.
I hate how I can't talk to anyone.
I hate how I can' speak my mind to people, but when I'm alone everything is ok.

I hate that I watch a advice show.
I hate that I ask for advice from strangers.

I hate it when I get GameRage, and people think I'm retarded.
I hate it when my mom see's me playing Assasin's Creed/Fallout and acts like I'm stupid.
I hate it when I think something's funny or amusing, but can't laugh.
I hate it when people get offended by that.
I hate how the new cartoons on CartoonNetwork are so shitty.
I hate how much of a Altair fangirl I am.
I hate oneshots. A lot.
I hate that I get homesick everytime I go to someones house.
I hate dramatic people.

Every week, every day, things change. Nature, animals, people and feelings. Nothing stays the same for more then a minute, even if your sitting. Sometimes we don't even notice the change until it's already complete, and it can be upsetting.
People seem to change the most. Personalities, likes, dislikes, opinions, they can all change so fast we don't even know what's going on. Some people love change, they just can't wait for something new to come along! But there are people who don't like change. For those people, change can be scary. It means there'll be something different in their lives that they might not be familiar with.
Some people are afraid of their friends changing, because then they might move on. Others are afraid of moving into a new place, completely leaving their homes behind for something new.
Personally, I try to embrace change. In fact, there have been a lot of changes in my life lately. Some good, some bad.
The bad things aren't very fun, but the good things make it much better. Some people I know have been saying I've changed personality wise, actually, a lot of people have made that comment.
But the truth is, my personality hasn't changed at all. In fact, it's at it's all-time-high. All my life I've always been hesitant to say what I want, or speak my true opinions. All that holding back finally caught up with me while I was on my Vacation in San Diego. I tried my best to ignore it, but once I got home it hit again, harder. I barely came out of my room for a week, and basically snarled at anyone who came within 5ft of me. Any inspiration for writing was gone and I forced myself to write simple things. Nothing was interesting, I only wanted to bitch-slap my friends so they'd understand what I wanted to tell them.
It got to the point where I just needed to get over it, but I was still angry. Finally I saw my mom, she'd been away for the entire week at a friends house. I opened up to her and talked about how I'd been sad, and kept going for 3 hours. Seriously. Three hours. Afterwards I felt ok again.
Looking back on it, I know I've been screwing myself over. That week was unbearable, and I never want it to happen again. So, I'm going to change how I work. Like I said in a earlier post, I'm gonna be myself from now on. And so start off, I'm gonna post a meme I did. It's the "I hate List" meme, and I decided to do it a few weeks ago. It's been growing pretty fast, and is completely honest. So, without further ado, I'm gonna paste it below.

Day 17: Well, derp. I guess that's all I can say.
Hello and welcome to my blog.
What do you do when your friends just don't get it?
Things are frustrating.
I've figured things out about myself, and have made a decicion. A decicion to be happy. To be myself. And unless asked, I'm not gonna explain. Because I need to start being my own person. I'm not gonna fake what I like or care about anymore, I'm gonna be proud of my personality. I'm gonna make some few friends, because honestly, I need to come out of my shell. I'm going to be myself, be happy.
That's all that matters.
...
Anyway. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, sometime soon I will be posting a book review, so keep a look-out for that.
Ok, bye for now!

Day 16: I'm baaaaaaaaaack!
Hi everyone. I'm baaaaaaack!
So yeah, I've been gone for a few months because my computer was broken. It's fixed now (obviously) so I'll be able to post things more often. Like before, I'll just be posting random things here and there :)
Let see... what else... I dunno.
Well, happy summer vacation! It's really hot here in my state, so there'll be lots of swimming this summer. Although I think I'll be in the gym more then at the pool. I'm going to San Diego in a few weeks so I need to work off a few pounds considering I wanna wear my new swimsuit. It's gonna be the first time I've ever seen a beach so I want to make it really special.
Other then my vacation, I've also made a few plans for the summer. First, I made a little list of things I need to get done over the summer. 1. Finish some of my fan fictions and one shots. 2. Get out of the house more often. 3. Go to the gym at least 3 times a week. Those sounds like decent things, right? Anyway. Second, Survive the family road trip to San Diego. Luckily I have about 50 Cd's, so I think it'll be OK.
Alright, enough rambling. Bye!

Day 15: I Give Up!
Hello and Welcome To My Blog :)
Well I'm sure your wondering what the title means. Or not. So in case you are, I'll explain. Lately I've been doing 'daily snippets'. I wrote and posted them for about 5 days, then stopped. I was planning to continue for 20 days, but I just can't do that. Two reasons. 1. I don't have the attention span. 2. Homework. So much friggin' homework.
Sorry. I give up alot.
ANYWAY...
So from now on I'll go back to my regular blog posting. And also, because this post (so far) has barely any meaning in it, I'm gonna add some stuff here! Ok, ok, what to do... Well I guess sence this blog is half-ly about me being a young writer, I should tell about what I've been writing! That sounds like a good idea.
Ok so lately I've put my book plans aside and have decided to stick with fan fiction. At the moment I have several ideas for stories, but I can't decide which to write first. Before I tell you about those, let me list some of the fan fictions I'm already writing.
I'm writing fan fics for:
Bleach
Inuyasha
Red vs. Blue
So yeah, those are the ones I'm currently writing! The Inuyasha one is almost done. The Bleach one still has awhile to go, and I'm halfway through with my RvB fic. I must say, I like the RvB fic the most. Bleach comes second.
Alright so now here's a list of fanfics I'm thinking about writing:
Kingdom Hearts
More RvB
Naruto
Okage: Shadow King (crazed fangirl scream insert here)
Ok so those are all the ones I'm thinking about writing! And because I can't make up my mind, I'd like to ask a favor from everyone reading this.
Down below, please comment on which fan fiction I should write! KH, RvB, Naruto, Okage, or more Bleach?
Please comment your suggestions :)

Day 14: Oh Woe Me
Hello and Welcome To My Blog :)
Snippet: 4 (?)
Today I spent all my time being miserable. Because we had to babysit some people, I missed my weekly Parkday. I'd been looking forward to it for the past two weeks, so I almost cried (at the time I was very emotional, I hadn't slept in a long time).
It was a terrible day, at least until later, when I got a baked potatoe and talked with my friend through email.
Mixed day?

Day 12: Exploding Coke Can Of Doom
Hello and Welcome To My Blog!
Daily Snippet: 2
Today a coke can blew-up in my room. The liquid flared everywhere and all over my books. It took me hours to clean my walls, floor, and wash all the books. When I finally finished, I fell asleep at the computer.
How did the coke cn explode? My Cousin kicked it off the bed in her sleep.

Day 11: Horror Movie Discovery/New Blog Plan
Hello and Welcome To My Blog!
Alright so first off, today I found out a strange thing about myself. When watching horror movies, I'm perfectly ok with people being murdered, but the second animals get involed I can't take it. Epecially when the animal is a cat (I watched "Drag Me To Hell")
Second, because I haven't been blogging lately, I'm going to try something new. Everyday for the next 20 days I'm going to post a little snippet of my day, like in my previous post "Day 10: Oh My". I think this new plan will keep me interested in blogging and will also serve as my "Online Journal". But like I said before, I'll only be doing this for 30 days (unless people ask for more).
In each Snippet-Post I'll include the following (except it'll be filled out)

Day 10: Oh My
Today in Minecraft I found my first bit of Diamonds and Redstone.
I was so happy I yelled at the top of my lungs: "I'm going to be rich!"
It was the happiest I've been for the past 2 days.
...
I need to get out more.

Day 9: Kisses From Hell
Hello and welcome to my blog.
A couple weeks ago I was at Barns & Noble shopping for some new books when I came across "Kisses From Hell."
'Kisses From Hell' is a book that has five stories inside it, all of them about Vampire love stories. Each story has it's own plot and characters, and each story is only 10+ chapters long (the chapters aren't very long, after all the stories are supposed to be short). Also, each story is written by a different author, and lucky for me I'm been a big fan of them all. All the authors are really good, and have great writing skills.
So because I liked this book so much, I thought I'd mention it on here so more people could hear about it.
The authors are: Kristan Cast, Alison Noel, Richelle Mead, Kelley Armstrong and Francesca Lia Block.
And, all in all, I give the book 4 out of 5 stars. If your interested in Vampire books, I suggest this one to you.
"This irresistible collection features stories of love amid vampires by five of today's hottest authors—Kristin Cast, Richelle Mead, Alyson Noel, Kelley Armstrong, and Francesca Lia Block. From a fugitive vampire forced to trust a boy who might work for the group bent on destroying her to the legendary romance of two immortals whose love compels them to risk everything, this heart-pounding collection brings new meaning to the words "love you forever." Whether you're into romances that are dark and moody or light and fun, these stories will quench that insatiable thirst for enchanting tales of the beautiful undead." - Amazon Reviews.
