Boss: That's not what I think it is?

Fallen: No, it's not. It's not at all a roast chicken salad I'm eating in the computer lab. In fact, it's an optical eee-llus-ion-

Boss: Okay, then what is it?

Fallen: A mouse. A very colorful and, albeit, tasty mouse.

Boss: It's a mouse...?

Fallen: Yes; when I move it towards/at someone: they move.

[crowshinigami] Damn animal crackers!
I'm alive. Or at least doing a reasonable imitation of life.
College- busy. Life- chaotic. Rabbit- insane.
So what else is new? 
Working on getting an outfit together for Dracula's Ball on Halloween night. The hope was for a film noir/Sin City motif; however, it has been the source of great consternation on my part as whether I can assemble attire that is a reasonable facsimile of the era. So far, I can dress a hit-man/mobster or go as a vampy looking dame. I don't know what to do with my hair, jewlery, or even if I've a ride into Philly for this event.
Must remember to call Kay help. 

Mmm... chai tea latte tastes like pumpkin pie. o.O;

In the demonic spirit of my favorite season here's a little gore in your eye, horror fans....

HORROR FILM WISDOM:

1.    When it seems that you've killed the monster, never check to see if it's really dead. 
2.    If you find that your house is built upon or near a cemetery, was once a church used for black masses, had previous inhabitants who went mad or committed suicide or died in some horrible fashion or who performed necrophilia or satanic practices, move away immediately. 
3.    Do not search the basement, especially when the power has just gone out. 
4.    If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they do not know, or if they speak using a voice other than their own, shoot them at once. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. Note: it's unlikely they'll die easy, so be prepared. 
5.    When you have the benefit of numbers, never go alone. 
6.    If you're searching for something which caused a noise and find out that it's just the cat, leave the room immediately if you value your life.
7.    If you're running from the monster, you will most likely trip or fall. If you are female you will. 
8.    Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog (God help you if you recognize this one), the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine, especially if it is called Derry. 
9.    If your car runs out of gas at night, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help. 
10.  When something bad is chasing you, bear in mind that when you try to start your car, no matter how reliable the vehicle is normally, you'll have to crank the engine over many times before it will fire up. 
11.  People arriving to rescue you generally get ambushed by the monster, so don't rely on them as your only means of escape. In fact, expect to be surprised and delayed by encountering their flayed corpse at some point. 
12.  Do not call the police as they are either evil and will turn you in or will not believe you and laugh at you. Either way, you must handle the problem yourself. 
13.  If you are using a gun to combat the all-consuming evil, it is a good idea to quickly find a new means of defense, because no matter how much ammo you have, you'll run out just before you kill the monster (unless your name is Ash, in which case, you'll never have to reload). 
14.  If you have defeated the monster, pay close attention to the camera, if it pans away for no apparent reason at all, get the heck out of there.
15.  Skeptics are always proved wrong in some horrible, nasty, painful way. Be a believer. 
16.  If you are a child, don't panic! Monsters only attack overly horny teenagers. Children can NOT be killed in a movie, only possessed or absorbed. So cheer up! 
17.  If you've beaten the monster into a bloody pulp and you're sure he must be dead, take the opportunity to dismember, burn, eat, blow up or otherwise utterly destroy him.

Season's Greetings!

Of Packing, Parking lots, and Deadwood...

  • May. 13th, 2005 at 12:20 AM
[fallenhalfelf] No PC
Either the sky is about to fall or the devil is wearing mittens cause the improbable has happened.
This deserves further explination.

Packing:
It's a long and tedious eternity between throwing it in then making it fit. Using your body (or a few more if you've them just laying around) as a desperate battering ram to make it buckle and make it shut. Course have the proper luggage case to carry the stuff in would assist in transfering the dorm room's contents into the car. Damn lavender trashbags. However, it's quite amazing to see how much a dorm trolly can carry when properly loaded.

Parking lot:
Otherwise known as the land beyond reaching- or at least to a dorm trolly thanks to a rickety ill-constructed sidewalk and sloping hill. After some spillage of objects both great and all, breakable and squishy, the loading of the two cars began only one small catch-

My new car was sitting in the front parking space.
A silver 1997 Mazda Protege SE.
*bounces and squeals*
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
*deep breath and dignified cough*

Ahem...
After twenty mintues of reassurances and booting my brother away from the vechile the same way one boots a vulture away from a wounding man. I hopped into the car like a giggling school girl; so then, we started off on the way home.

Deadwood:
Not a day after settling in from university my mother had packed for her flight. She was going to Deadwood, South Dakota. Those who know me know I love the HBO series Deadwood. To have my mother go to one of my favorite places without me was more than a little annoying. She'll be gone for a week; moreover, the pantry is bare at a bleached bone... I can only hope she gets me something nice. Maybe a cowboy hat... or a cowboy.

Since then I've finished a slap-dash six page research paper and I'm trying to be happy in the only way good old fashion ignorance can offer about this semester's grades. I'm worried about them all. Knowing I got a B+ in Math 102, which I changed to a pass/fail course, not counting toward my GPA that must remain a 3.0 or I'll be terminated from the Education program at my college.
What I am thinking about is my twenty-first birthday coming up on the 23rd of June. ...And worse comes to worse and I get a poor grade I can take a worthless summer course to raise my GPA up a few points to acquire the required 3.0. I just pray it doesn't come to that...

Wake up, Foamy...

[crowshinigami] Damn animal crackers!
The perpetual Sisyphean cycle of work-class-sleep has taken over my life, with reprieves few and far between such as:
* Maido
* Movies
(White Noise, Boogeyman, Constantine, Sin City)
* Ren's house - TM Revolution dances like a seizuring penguin. HA!
(even still I'd like those music videos taped.)
* Writing groups
* Neurotically Yours webcomics
* ...yeah, that's about it.

Since the beginning of the year, I've been attempting to drum up no less than ten entries but (un)fortunately it's the time LiveJournal decides to update and delete it. Had some good ones too. Anyway, the second semester is coming down the final home-stretch without any signs of swearing to hit the breaks before running down like a cripple pedestrian. (20 points!)

I've still a several page paper on Moby-Dick (I hate you, you 600 page asinine piece of whale blubber) and another on the United State's Constitutional Admendment. Then exams, quizzes, and whatever shit the teachers can cram within the last three weeks that they didn't bother teaching throughout the year. And they call me a slacker...

One of those days
Yes, I'm still alive or relatively so.
Allow me to give you the rundown of the rollercoaster that is my life.

9:50 am - Good morning. My God, why can I see my breath? More importantly, why have I lost two out of the eight fingers and two thumbs I have? Direct corrilation? I think so. Room is 61 F. Did I mention were are now riding on the tail end of March?

10:10 am - For once, I am on time for my Advance Composition class. No teacher's dirty looks today! Horrah! Midterm was handed back- 97?! No one is more surprised than me but hey who am I to baulk good luck? ;)

As if a proverbial slap in the face, you have probably guessed university has gotten ungodly hectic. Today, I have discovered that through no particular fault of my own, I had not recieved my RA interview schedule. If I had not spoken to another RA person and scrambled to correct the mistake. Yet I know I'm not going to get this job. I'm not the perky, rake-thin, bouncy blond they want representing the school. At least you can't say I didn't try... Gollum. Gollum.


current quote: "I watch the ripples change their size/ But never leave the stream/ Of warm impermanence/ So the days float through my eyes/ But still the days seem the same/ And these children that you spit on/ As they try to change their worlds/ Are immune to your consultations/ They're quite aware of what they're going through..."

First sentence-month 2004 meme

  • Jan. 8th, 2005 at 4:55 AM
One of those days
Take the first sentence from the first entry of each month in 2004 and put it in a paragraph.

January: Wow... it's over.

Febuary: Leaving Fallen alone too long with the computer is a very bad idea.

March: The relatively important events within this week-long pre-Spring Recess from my university had been wrapped around trivial occurrences and mind-numbing tedium and the thousands of frustrations that come with dwelling at home.

April: Ugh, this has to be the weirdest time in my life.

May: You know you've issue when... you've look out the window and scream, "Inspire me!"

June: Twenty years ago at four thirty-three this morning I was born.

July: I'm back after a two-week forcible hiatus from the internet.

August: Today is another one of those bright shinying days where I've not been at my best behavior, but it's not easy to be on the up-&-up and makes me wish I could shove needles into certain people like my own personal voodoo dolls.

September: You know I've tried to force myself to slip back into a the realm of fantasy but find myself unable.

October: Once upon the time, an all-powerful deity created the world and said it was ‘good’- this being the same deity that created platypuses, giraffes, and gave men enough blood to work either their brain or penis, all of which were ‘good’ so we take the meaning liberally.

November: Sounds about right especially since I'm once again a dirty blond with red highlights.

December: Well, Ms. Fallen, it seems we are at another winter break again...

- - - - - - - - -

My gods, I do sound insane! I must stop refering to myself in the third-person. Who do I think I am- The Rock? I think my self narration has pointed a tinie-tiny gun at my head and gone wildly out of control. Call the brain-marshals! GO! RUN- GET HELP!

Midnight mental meanderings...

  • Jan. 7th, 2005 at 2:12 AM
[crowshinigami] Damn animal crackers!
Since when did my book shelf explode and take out half of my floor in the process? Speaking about foreign objects having their run of my limited floor space, when did I get that over-stuffed chair and footstool that I just did a Dick Van Dyke over? Now I'm not the most aware kid on the block but I like to think I was at least semi-conscious enough to notice a 3x3x3 forty-five pound expensive overstuff floral monstrosity crawl up a flight of stairs, pry open a locked door, and situate itself in the corner of my room staring me in the face. What's creepy is it has a pseudo-masquerade mask with peacock feathers and vacant lifeless eyes staring emptily out at me. Spooky... sort of like watching the sugary goodness of The Happy Little Elf for too long.

It's not getting closer... AH!


Secondly, I'm excited enough to make my white face flush. Dracula's Ball is being held in Philly on Feburary 18th and barring the cooperation of un-, sub-, or supernatural forces I will be in attendance with Kay, Ren, and others like fleas on a dog. This presents a problem almost as interesting as nailing jello to a tree (look, I find the infinite complexities of jello interesting so lay off). What do I, Queen-of-all-things-vanilla-&-casual, wear to such a masque? Opinions differ as much as the answer to what's in the mystery meat. Kay claims the elegance of classic gothic style will not steer me wrong.
Ren, on the other hand, swears up and down that something a cosplaying manga character wears will look darling on me. Yes, I said 'darling'.

Personally, I'm flexible but I would like something that would flatter my hourglass figure. Something that is longer and tastefully covers most of my arms, legs, oh and for the hell of it my chestage. Boots would be nice but I'll wear high-heels too. However, I'll require some major help fixing and drawing up my hair. If anyone knows and good links to gothic dresses or clothing I'd be happy if you'd post them in my comment section. Anything else is just the cherry on top. ^-^

Just don't make me look like Claudia- or I'll be a *very* wicked little girl...

Good news for people who love any news...

  • Jan. 5th, 2005 at 3:05 PM

The good news:

Yes! Finally, at long last I have finished assembling [info]klytemnestra's Christmas presents. A varied assortment of knick knacks, games, and odds and ends that will diffidently make her give an undignified giddious squeel. Sorry [info]soter. Even her lovable hubby, I believe, will get a kick out of them. Mwah to my darlings.

[info]kay_koneko's present has been bought and wrapped in anticipation for this her twenty-first birthday exactly six months before mine. I can't wait for her birthday since we're all going out to celebrate it. Maybe I won't get carded and can drink til I'm no longer sober enough to care.


The bad news:

I've still to ship [info]klytemnestra's package. Tomorrow with a little luck, I will have located a blank box sans Christmas decorations and enough spare change between the sofa cushions to have it shipped out to the homestate of bored defunct angels and cows.

I'm now officially broke to my last one-hundred-fifty dollars. To be honest, I'm not quite sure I've enough money to purchase my school books for the upcoming term. I shudder to think of asking my parents for roughly two hundred extra. I may have to start selling off my plasma for money here...


Other news:

[info]spacemarinegale and I are off to take our mother to see Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. My kind of movie... but then again I've oh so many movies I still wish to see in or coming to theaters soon. Especially Constantine, played here by Keanu Reeves. The hero of DC/Vertigo's Hellblazer comic book series but a minor character of Neil Gaiman's Sandman whose coming to the big screen in mid Febuary. YAY!! My kind of anti-hero...

Whiling the night away...

[crowshinigami] Damn animal crackers!

In the year 2005 I resolve to:

Build up my chi.

Get your resolution here




But for now...

Current weapon(s) of choice:
1) 25.4 oz bottle of Gekkeikan Sake
2) 2 liter bottle of Coca Cola
3) 2 liter bottle of Dt. Pepsi
4) An ample supply of movies and tv shows

Horrah!
Consquently, I've not been even the slightest bit tipsy yet... Bored, yes, smelling strangely of vanilla, yes, but not tipsy. I need to get out of this place before hibernation sets in. Such as find Kay a birthday present for the twenty-third of the month. Will try to give a call to the girls after Gale gets off the phone with his girlfriend. If ever that happens...

Bookie Goodness

  • Dec. 30th, 2004 at 6:10 PM
One of those days
Wheeee! It's an ocassion for simple jubilatioin! After two and a half long weeks of waiting less an patiently, if you don't listen to my mailman, all my books finally came in the mail. I awoke from mid-hibernation slumber at roughly 11 o'clock, toddled downstairs, and there they were sitting perfectly packaged on the sofa. After bouncing off the wall I pranced over, hugged them tightly to my chest, and bounded away but not before getting caught by my peevish father.

"What's those?" He asked stabbing my precious cargo in hand.

"Books," automatically I juggled them shifted them away from his reach.

"Let me see."

Now I knew my father. This was a man that censored my reading and listening material from turning toward dark interests and refused to let me wear the color black all throughout my teen years. He was not going to like his youngest reading about vampires and a (good) demon despite being movie-based.
I really wanted these books to gain new insight into the yahoo groups I write for. But I also knew he curious and wasn't about to let me skirt away without seeing what I had. So I peeled open one packaging slip and by luck of the draw revealed Hellboy something he found to be stupid but not offensive. Before he could ask what the other two were he became distracted by the sound of the towel rack breaking for the tenth time, cursed and went to fix it, allowing me crept upstairs to read.


Books:

* Hellboy (the novelization) ~ Yvonne Navarro
* Underworld (the novelization) ~ Greg Cox
* Underworld: Blood Enemy ~ Greg Cox

Yay! Reading is fun.

Notice:

Fallen, in her stir-crazy frame of mind requires and requests human contact, is sending out an open invitation for all her friends to meet up in a Seize the Year festivities. This day will be a excursion into Philadelphia's South Street for much needed seasonal fun before the second semester of college obliterates it. Please give her a call as soon as possible 'cause the last person she's an intelligent conversation with was her vertigo betta fish... Go easy on her.

* Ren
* Kay / Daniel
* Julie / Nessie

* Mary
* Kate
* Teresa
* Dana / Sarah

2004: A Year End-Review

  • Dec. 27th, 2004 at 6:30 AM
One of those days
1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
Took some nice progressive steps into developing into a real human being. I believe I’m less uptight, becoming receptive and social toward other people, and simply adopting a laid-back mentality.

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
BWHAHAHA! *tips over laughing*

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No but I could recall a nice list of people who've finally gave birth to their heads from their asses...

4. Did anyone close to you die?
No, thank you. ^-^ None that they could prove anyway.

5. What countries did you visit?
Fallensville- the lovely little esoteric town outside the state of Confusion and to the left of the mochi; otherwise I’ll have to go with ‘no’.

6. What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004?
Better grades, romance, revenge, and perhaps a little adventure... and more liquor!

7. What date from 2004 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I’ve a few mostly because they correspond with my friends and university life. Though my time working as a carnie in the family business for my uncle; "No Puddles! Bad soda! Don't pee on Kay's rug!" soda exploding while Ren, Kay and I were watching Fruit Baskets; the first trip to Miado on Halloween in my kistune outfit with devil-dressed Ren; the Renaissance Faire with the girls and Gale – raiding the WaWa and picnic lunch with Daniel; scurrying late to Jr. Ring in a wrinkled short ghetto gown; "Gonna rape, kill, pillage and burn/ Gonna rape, kill, pillage, and burn- Eat the babies!" song with Kay; poker/drinking night with Mary and Kate; being recently dragged down the hallways in nothing by my pj’s at midnight on finals’ week- damn those polished floors- by Kay and Nessie; an incoherent Tersea and I studying last mintue for Modern Poetry final; that certain little shop visited in celebration of a freshmen’s 18th Birthday...

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I’ve a couple but mostly crawling further out of my self-centered isolated little shell was the best. Trying Japanese food; making Dean’s List and not even knowing it; starting art commission work again.

9. What was your biggest failure?
Staying up late and skipping classes, which probably helped lower my overall grade for some classes.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
One festively puke-tastic week of the flu.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
Hmm, I’m torn between my faux fur & suede blanket and my faux fox tail.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Kay – yay, for her having a lovely boyfriend :P

13. Whose behavior appalled and depressed you?
Usually, my own behavior takes that distinct honor.

14. Where did most of your money go?
Food, friends, and movies.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
I can’t say I get excited about much too often but achieving the Dean’s List without realizing it and Halloween had me bouncing off the walls.

16. What songs will always remind you of 2004?
"American Idiot" ~ Green Day; "Judith" & "The Outsider" ~ A Perfect Circle; "Ocean Avenue" ~ Yellowcard; "Giving In" ~ Adema; "All This Past" ~ Sarah Bettens; "C’mon C’mon" ~ The Von Bondies; "The Red" ~ Cheville; "Strawberry Gashes" ~ Jack Off Jill; "All Downhill From Here" ~ New Found Glory; "Harder to Breathe" ~ Maroon 5; "Hysteria", "Sing For Absolution", & "Time Is Running Out" ~ Muse; "Figured You Out" ~ Nickelback; "24" ~ Jem; "Cherry Lips" ~ Garbage; "Pretty Girl" ~ Sugarcult; "Someone Told Me" ~ The Killers; "Remember" ~ Josh Groban; "Vindicated" ~ Dashboard Confessional; "Rich Girl" ~ Gwen Stefani featuring Eve; "Vertigo" ~ U2; "In the Shadows" ~ The Rasmus; anything off of Linkin Park's Metora.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. Happier or sadder?
I’m just a bit less apprehensive- happy or sad doesn’t figure into the equation.
ii. Thinner or fatter?
Fatter- joy... -_-‘
iii. Richer or poorer?
Richer in so many ways. :D

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Attending classes on a consistent basis would have been nice.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Sleeping in, brushing people off, dying my hair, watching tv...

20. How will you be spending Christmas?
At home with the family before making a short trek over to visit my aunt and her family.

22. Did you fall in love in 2004?
No.

23. How many one-night stands?
None.

24. What was your favorite TV program?
Deadwood, Carnivale, Drawn Together, Mad Mad House, Scrubs, Law & Order

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Worse, I'm indifferent toward them... not worth my hate.

26. What was the best book you read?
Lamentably, I didn’t get to read too much this year but Neil Zawacki's How to Be a Villain was a wonderful funny read.

27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Muse; The Killers; A Perfect Circle; Josh Groban; rediscovered U2; Cheville; Jack Off Jill...

28. What did you want and get?
That’s a rather vague question. If I didn’t get it then I really didn’t want it now did I?

30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Troy is tying with Alexander. And Resident Evil, Van Helsing, Kill Bill I & II, and Hellboy are right up there as well.

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 20... nothing much happened until Kay, Ren, and Dana came over a couple days later to celebrate. ^_^ Slytherin themed birthday party, yo.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Dunno, I suppose having a boyfriend may have made the year more satisfying but that’s terribly superficial to say.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2004?
Casual American blue- denim jeans, cute shirt, and leather heeled boots.

34. What kept you sane?
Medication, alcohol, sleep, and friends!

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Brad Pitt, Collin Farrell, Stuart Townsend, Ron Perlman, the list goes on and on...

36. What political issue stirred you the most?
The election results itself had me fuming.

37. Whom did you miss?
*sighs* I can’t recall...

38. Who was the best new person you met?
Nessie and Daniel

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
Relax! Every little thing that goes wrong is not your fault or the end of the world. Do your best and then it’s just a matter of breathing.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"I am... vindicated/ I am selfish/ I am wrong/ I am right/ I swear I'm right/ Swear I knew it all along/ And I am flawed/ But I am cleaning up so well/ I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself..."
(Dashboard Confessional, Vindicated)



current quote(s):

"Cause I want it now/ I want it now/ Give me your heart and your soul/ And I'm not breaking down/ I'm breaking out/ Last chance to lose control...//And want you now/ I want you now/ I'll feel my heart implode/ And I'm breaking out/ Escaping now/ Feeling my faith erode..."
(Muse, Hysteria)

"Sing me something soft/ Sad and delicate/ Or loud and out of key/ Sing me anything/ We're glad for what we've got/ Done with what we've lost/ Our whole lives laid out right in front of us/ Sing like you think no one's listening/ You would kill for this/ Just a little bit/ Just a little bit/ You would..."

Mom: *whack* DON'T PEEK!

Fallen: o.O; OW! Mom! Com'on! I know that's the little pillow I wanted. My neck is as sturdy as jello nailed to a christmas tree. I want it to sleep on. Gimme. >o<'

Mom: Now, Fallen, you don't know that.

Fallen: The dog was sleeping on it.

Mom: What did Mommy tell you-?

Fallen: Shoot first ask questions later?

Mom: No! Why do you say things like that-

Fallen: Never drink the blood cold?

Mom: NO! Stop reading Anne Rice.

Fallen: *sighs* Christmas presents must be open on Christmas hence said presents wouldn't be Christmas presents per say...

Mom: Good.

Fallen: Does that mean I-

Mom: No, you're not opening then at 12:01pm.

Fallen: Damn.

Mom: Now to bed with you, my little night-owl.

Fallen: It's 8 o'clock and I'm 20 years old.

Mom: BED! I said: March! *points*

Fallen: When the glorious rebellion of Santa's elves occurs you will not be spared.

Mom: I'll bare that in mind when you ask for a new TV...

Fallen: If I see Santa overhead I'm shooting him down. *raises fist* Free the Elves! *scurries upstairs*

So as I rest up here in my room I'm compelled to take a quiz:

At first I got:


Short, terse, unfriendly,
Yet sometimes quite emotive;
I am the Haiku.
What Poetry Form Are You?


But I'm really:


I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile.
Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away
I let mine out, and chatter all the while.

I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day
Is any day that's spent without a friend,
With nothing much to do or hear or say.

I like to be with people, and depend
On company for being entertained;
Which seems a good solution, in the end.
What Poetry Form Are You?

But hey, either of the above could be true.

On another note:
My grades came in the mail opened by parents.
A - Modern Poetry
A - History of Philosophy
B - Educational Psychology
B - Public Speaking
C+ - Orientation to Teaching

What I thought was to be the best grade turned out to be the worse. Figures...

After completing an excruciating philosophy itinerary for college has achieved its aim in making me think. And upon much debate I've decided to change my life philosophy. For now I've adopted Existentialism.

What is Existentialism?
A philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts.

This means no more winy-assed excuses for my behavior or cowardice. I'm taking ownership of my choices, something I've masterfully dodged for years upon end, reflected in my relationships, lack of driving abilities, major studies, weight, moods, tastes, fashion, decorating, and other such viewable outlets. I've grown tired of simply remaining silent or running away from every choice that bumps outside my comfort zone. I'm too tired of looking back and feeling bad; feeling nostalgic for times that were never mine, trapped with the 'what-ifs' and 'if-onlys' or 'i-wishes'. I'm twenty years old and whatever happens from here on in is on me. I'm digging in my heels this time. I've been far too sheltered and wishy-washy. I'm not running anymore and I will be happy even if kills me.

So now that that little bit of melodrama is over let's clear the air by announcing my new role model is Alexander the Great. Oh yes, I'm certain that has raised a few eyebrows and made a couple people very nervous. Consequently, I've started drinking again. Not as much as my hero but one day *nods head* I'll be able to drink half my extended family under the table in one sitting or die trying. 'Tis a noble aim I tells ya not quite Babylonia but still pretty good for a Jersey girl, who amongst other things has bathed a nasty rabbit with all the temperament and function of a berserk chainsaw.
So far, I've had half a two liter bottle of mudslide, two Smirnoff's, half a bottle of Fu-ki something-or-another grape and plum wine that is sold as sake, and ...that's strange I think my bottle just walked off...

My gods is Bono hot...

Cheers! *clinks glass*

Well, Ms. Fallen, it seems we are at another winter break again. What will you do? I plan to fight fury of a thousand small hamsters to resist the urge to: 1) wake up before 1 pm, 2) acquire a winter job or logical semblance thereof, 3) hurl pointy objects of the small or large variety at family members, 4) randomly break into song, 4) be forced to visit family members whose names I can't recall, 5) desperately wish to be adopted into the normality of the Addams Family, 6) make Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead quotations and/or references.

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern: *blink*

Rosencrantz: Do you want to play questions?

Fallen: 'Kay. ^-^

Rosencrantz & Fallen: *proceed to merrily skip off together*

Guildenstern: I think I'm going to kill you.

Ralph Waldo Emerson did say, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." Thankfully I'm neither statesmen, philosopher, nor divine; however, there exists the very real possibility of being the aforementioned fool... We shall bare in mind that your final Philosophy paper was on this subject and brain remains overtaxed. Go to bed now. Alright, good night...

kitsune
Though they rarely caused mankind any serious harm,
these Japanese fox spirits known as kitsune
were well known for playing tricks on people
and could be a real nuisance. They possessed
the ability to transform into any creature,
though they would often retain their fox tail.
One could easily determine the age and level of
maturity of a kitsune by counting it's tails;
An immature, rambunctious kitsune would have
very few tails, while a wise and powerful one
would have as many as nine.

As a kitsune, you are clever, sensual, beautiful,
mysterious and effeminate (even if you are a
guy). You are also somewhat sneaky and like to
pull pranks on people, but otherwise you are
very pleasurable to be around.



Who is your inner Shapeshifter?

Earth
Your element is earth: Wise, solitary, mysterious
and loving. You are very wise. Your wise as in
you know things others do not, you can see past
stereotypes and see the real people behind
their facades, and people will often come to
you for help and advice. Quite solitary and
somewhat shy around people because you prefer
animals and plants, animals aren't afraid to
show themselves or what they are feeling and
plants are fun to nurture. You are very strong
in your silence if you set your mind on
something you will often times pursue it to the
end. Sometimes you just want to get away, so
you seek refuge in the forest where you can
have time to think and try to sort out your
emotions. The sound of the wind usually calms
you, especially moving through the trees. Life
to you is something precious and should not be
taken for granted.

HASH(0x8bd45d4)

Congratulations! You're a kitsune baby!!! Wily, cunning, seductive, vampiric, femenine, and possibly gay (yay!)... There are a thousand adjectives we could use to describe this sexy/furry critter. Kitsune are some of the more powerful spirits out there, and you're one of 'em! (At least figuratively). These shapeshifting spirits love to cast illusions on weary humans and love seducing those big burly samurai and emperors into doing whatever it is they want. Go you!

What Japanese Creature are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

I've seen the emperors and you can keep 'em. I'd prefer a nice non-burly samurai, thank you.

Home again without much fanfare. Just as I return Gale is flying South to spend the holiday with his girlfriend and her family. Meaning, boys and girls, the unblinking eye of my parents are now solely focused for this festive disaster-in-the-making on me. With all the projects due after I return from holiday.

However, I have back both:
* 2003 Halloween party photos
* 2004 Renissance Faire photos

Or at least half of them. I will be putting up some images when I get a chance to scan. Until then, I shall be kicking up my feet, and catching up on some quality time with my good friend Mr. TV. Doing so before would be an affront to my happiness.

Mmm, Alexander...

Contradiction
F:

Your Beauty lies in Contradiction. Controversial, unpredictable, and never what anyone expects. You appearance and your personality are two opposite things. Even your appearance sends different signals to different people. To some you may look innocent and sweet, to others you look mysterious and intimidating at the same time. No one ever knows what to expect with you. You are a little bit of everything all mixed together. You can be watching the football game with the
guys one minute and the next out shopping at the mall. You seem to be almost a different person every time you meet someone, but at the same time you know exactly who you are and there is always that one thing that makes you you. You enjoy keeping people guessing and people love how completely unpredictable you
are.

Some Things
That Represent You:



Element: Fire, Water
Animal: Chameleon
Color:Dark Tones, Light Tones
Song: Everything by Alanis Morriesette
Expression: Half-smile



Gemstone: Opal
Mythological Creature: Gryphon, Half-breeds
Sign: Gemini
Planet: Mars
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Brown
