I'm worried about my friend. She's been really down, and nothing I do seems to make her smile. I'll keep at it.I've also hit a mad cooking street. I've gotten really good over the past year and want to keep it up. Is this a calling? I dunno, but maybe I could earn a decent living. I need to start sewing and market them on ebay to get some money. I feel bad about not being able to pay Sean back for fixing my computer, and to buy a cooling tray(to keep my laptop cool and happy. Not to mention an external harddrive would be good too. I've taken up jewelry making. Once i get the hang of it, I could sell some of them at a fleamarket or some kind of fair.I dunno. I just need money. I don't want to burden my parents forever. Plus I have MTAC and a clothes I want to buy. I will not mooch of mom and dad. I won't!!!!!!!!! Grace may be happy to but I feel bad. I'm about to kill my bed,something about it makes my back ache horribly. I haven't drawn in a month,but my writing is taking off so that's good. Ok nighty nighty.Sean my friend is wanting me to go with her Sunday to the bridal show, maybe we can move practice to Saturday?I dunno.Whatever is conveniant.I hope Fess feels better and Jasper.

Pirates 3
Awesome,kick ass movie. Very hilarious.I laughed and I cried. Hang back for the special thing after the clip, you will want to see it.
Pan's Labyrinth
Is a wonderful movie. The director of Hellboy is a genius. It's subtitled as it is a foreign film, but its still worth watching. It has the most fucking awesome looking characters. It's the best fantasy movie Ive seen in a while. I adored this movie. Caution, you will cry your eyes out by the end of the movie.
Currently I'm working on my new book, I'm ass deep in research on some gods and goddesses of Ancient Egypt. Summer is a wonderful thing, you have all the time in the world to do stuff.I'm currently sewing a vest right now, its really pretty. I just have to hem and sew on the loops for lacings.Ok I have to update adaware and run a scan. I also need to check AVG as well. Ive already done spybot for the week.I need to go to walmart as they have the adapter I need to upload footage from a camera to my laptop or Jessica's laptop. I wish I had a mac at times. I-movie and garage band are awesome and their free for mac. maybe I'll buy it for my laptop.I also plan to go to Europe next year so I need that job, wish me luck in my hunt dear friends.Sayonara!
Bored right now, but I know I need to do that damn project but do I want to? No I do not.I wonder when me,Grace, and Shaun are going to start our ninja classes? eh I'm sure sometime soon. Making Grace something pretty to show I love her as well as something for myself. When I can find a pattern would anyone like a kimono or something? I'm open to suggestions. I'm thinking of doing a small costume,clothing business. I like sewing and I can make money off it. All my money will be going to my lovely child(computer), which now has a name. I thought long and hard about it, and I decided Himeno,and I also want to save money so I can see something outside the U.S, plus all the money I'll need for MTAC. Anthony's going to make me a dagger, I am very happy about it. In my book there is a dagger called Twilight's Tears. Oh its gonna be lovely! My friend,Derek is teaching me woodcarving basics so I can make my own bow.hehehehe this will be a fun summer. Pray someplace will give me a job so all my plans are accomplished.
“ Morning”, he said cheerily. He was smiling. It made him even more handsome.
“Morning”, she replied giving him a small smile, “ Need a shirt?”
He looked down and turned red even his chest was cherry colored, “ Yea, mine was too torn to hold together.”
Ren motioned to the food on the small table, “ Help yourself to some breakfast. I’ll go see if I have something you can wear.”
He sat down and started eating while Ren headed down the hall to the small storage space at the end. She opened the trunk that held all her elder brother’s clothes in it. Mica had been Zane’s size so his clothes would be great. When she looked through them many happy memories came back to her. They had been so close she had always ran to him as a child when she was in trouble. Mica had taught her to dance and climb trees. Ren missed him so much, what would they be doing if he hadn’t died? She shook her head, she didn’t need to dwell on what could have been. Now was more important than anything, and Zane needed clothes. She gathered Mica’s sturdiest clothes and carried them to the kitchen.
Coming to a halt beside him she sat down, handing him the clothes, “ Here, I hope they’re ok.”
“ They’re great”, but he was suspicious,” Whose are these?”
“ They were my brother’s. He wouldn’t have minded.”
“ He’s passed on?”, he asked
“Yes”
“ I’m sorry,” he said genuinely.
“ It’s ok. He’s doesn’t have to fight anymore. Mica always hated killing. He was a dancer, but war made him a solider.”, her voice tinged with sadness.
Zane’s voice was soft when he spoke, “ Villagers killed my mother when I was nine. A human that couples with a demon has to die.”
Ren’s eyes widened in horror, “ Didn’t your father…”
“ He tried, but they killed him too. His tribe had exiled him for choosing a human mate. Neither side wanted me, and both tried to kill me. “, he told her.
“ My village won’t care. You’re part demon it makes you one of us. Demons need to stick together.”, Ren said with a smile.
“ I’ll believe it when I see it.”, he said stubborn to the core.
Ren sighed, “ Just put these on while I go clean up. “ She barely started washing the plates when she heard the soft thump of feet at the door. Kyra ran in a happy frenzy.
“Ren”, she called, “ Are you in here? I have to tell you about the wedding night. Wow, I haven’t been gone one day and this place is a mess. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!!!!”
Ren cursed under her breath and hurried into the other room. Kyra was in her warrior’s stance with her hand on her dagger. Zane was shirtless and his eyes were ice as if he too was ready to fight to the death. Ren glared at the two and said exasperated, “ Come off it guys. Zane this is my knife happy friend Kyra. Krya”, she pointed at Zane, “ this is my friend Zane. I met him on the mountain, he was hurt so I brought him here. Now quit looking like you’re going to kill each other.”
Kyra’s hand drew back and she smiled. Zane relaxed and his eyes returned back to that softer and much warmer blue. He returned her smile with a dazzling one of his own. He gave a small bow that Kyra returned. Ren sighed with relief, crisis averted. What the hell could Kyra be thinking right now? Ren ran to the fire and heated the leftover breakfast tea. When she came back Zane and Kyra were sitting across from each other in friendly conversation. She set the tea up in front of them, taking a cup of it for herself. Definitely a must in this type of situation for her, Ren was over stressed at this point from trying not to blush and to keep people from accidentally killing each other.
Zane looked at Ren, “Thanks for the tea, and for putting me up. I should be on my way though. Your village won’t like me here, and they’ll make you pay for it.”
“ You’re an idiot.”, Kyra said indifferently.
“Kyra!”, Ren said astounded.
Kyra looked at her inquisitively, “ What? He is if he’s only leaving because he thinks we’ll kill him.”
Zane looked at Kyra, “ I only speak out of experience. I don’t want to cause Ren any grief, and I’ll only get in the way.”.
Kyra glared, “ Stay pussycat. Give our village a week and then if it won’t work you can leave, think about it. You can have a safe place to stay awhile or run away and live in fear. It’s your choice.”
Zane blushed, stood up and headed for his bed, “ Fine, I’ll stay but I’m no cat.”
Kyra grinned as Zane left, then she looked to Ren, “ He’s cute when he’s mad. You gonna be ok with him staying here?”
“Yea”, she assured her, “ I’ll be fine, and stop saying he’s cute.”
“Okay, okay. Be careful Ren.”
“ I will”, she replied.
Kyra gave her an encouraging smile and left. Ren decided that now was just as good a time to have the village meet Zane. She headed into his newly acquired room where he was on the bed staring at the ceiling. Gently, she sat down at the foot of the bed. He raised himself to a sitting position, and they stared. She felt as if they were looking into each other’s souls. His emerald eyes enchanted her, he was beautiful. Then he looked away as if he dared not look any longer. Ren gave a small sigh and gave a small smile.
“Ready to give the village a try? The Moon Festival is tonight.”
Zane looked at her, then looked away, then looked at her again, “ Alright.”
She stood up and extended her hand, “ Let’s go then. “
Zane smiled and took her hand. They headed out into the twilight to the village square. The Moon Festival was the village’s biggest festival. Vendors with their wares laid out on carpets and in stalls for people to buy. Children ran in white, silver, purple, blue, and deep green kimonos from stall to stall or stopped for a story from one of the village elders. When the villagers saw Zane they ran over to welcome him. Zane’s eyes lighted up with happiness as he was hugged or shook someone’s hand. Ren was glad for him. She liked his face when he tried different foods like oranges and sweet rice balls. He bloomed, his personality in full bloom. Zane made her laugh with his jokes, and smile at his simple gestures. With him beside her, Ren was happy for the first time in many years. Around midnight the dancing began, Zane and Ren watched couples glide and jump around the platform. The lanterns glowed merrily as the music played on.
Zane looked at Ren shyly he asked, “ Want to dance?” He offered his hand to her, and Ren clasped it with her won silently accepting his offer.
Zane pulled her close as they started to dance. Ren felt the stares, but for once she didn’t care. She felt like she could do anything while she was in Zane’s arms. He twirled her across the floor as the music slowed. She felt like she was flying and never did she want to come down. But all magic no matter how wonderful ends after a time, with the sound of a bell the festival ended. Everyone slowly left and headed for their homes in the early dawn. Ren nearly fell as they headed home, that’s what she got for being up all night.
Zane gave her a concerned look, “ You ok?”
She gave him a tired mile “ Yea just sleepy.”
“ Then let me help”
“Huh”, she said, “ What do ya mean ?Whoa!” Zane picks her up and carries her the rest of the way while she slept. He placed her carefully in the bed and without her ever knowing placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
When I was a kid I thought
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
Oh but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
A lesson learned about me and you
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
'Cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope
The one I've never known
'Cause now I know it's all that I wanted
What's the consolation prize
economy sized dreams of hope
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
'Cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope
The one I've never known
And where it goes
And I'm thinking about the only road
The one I've never known and where it goes
And I'm thinking about a brand new hope
The one I've never known
'Cause now I know it's all that I wanted
