I give the writers 10 minutes of the next episode to correct the...mistake perpetrated in this episode or I'm out. Because that was straight out character derailment.

People who watched this episode KNOW what I'm talking about.

EDIT: Having some time to digest this episode, I'm actually not angry anymore for one reason: I just got punk'ed. The writer's were looking to get my sort of reaction.

Other than that, I liked the episode, and am looking forward to seeing how the conflict that's been set up plays out.

Last week, I was heisitantly excited about the new season. This episode made me feel like the horrid sophmore slump of Heroes second season is over and done with.

Um, wow. I have a Livejournal?

Okay, I jest, but it really has been a long time since I've updated this thing, and I've never been all that active a poster. I'm not the most social person in the first place, not to mention I've always been so distracted.

I'm in college now, and even looking back to when I first started this journal, I'm taken aback by how...immature I was. I've grown as a person since then, but I feel like I personally have never really reflected that in this place.

I'm going to try and change that...again. Because I've been in this place before, and I have tried to come out and make friends on the Internet with very limited success. I know I've let people down in those attempts, making friends, trying to commit to something, then dropped off the face of the earth. My attempts at RPing come to mind.

But I'm not an emo kid. I've learned from my attempts, and I'm willing to try again. I entertained the though of abandoning this journal, and setting up shop somewhere new. But the changes LJ has made make this idea distasteful. So for the time being, I've put a lot of my older entries behind a friends-lock, and private-locked others. Maybe I'll unlock them someday, but for right now...I want as fresh a start as I can get.

The best time is the now, after all.

I am now officially a graduate from high school!

It makes me really happy, I've worked so hard through four years and after that last push with Finals, and making sure to pass Algebra, I wasn't sure I'd ever get out. But I did.

They held the ceromony out on the football field (514 graduating seniors!) and thankfully the rain cleared up long enough for us to get through graduation. It actually got quite pretty out, to tell the truth. All in all it was great. My Dad couldn't show up but Mum and my sister were there.  The speeches were not too long, and aside from a beachball or two (how do they sneak those in?) all the seniors behaved. And afterward, I even got interviewed by the local TV station!

The only thing I regret is wearing such high heel's. Since they close the gate and lock you out if you don't make it by a certain time (7:00 in this case) most of us girls were stuck standing for an hour with our heel's sinking into the dirt. Ouch.

I don't regret showing up though. You only got four seconds to walk across the stage, but I earned those four seconds.

Well, I went to my cousin's wedding yesterday. It was the first one I had ever attended, and I liked it. They held it at one of uncle's boathouse (my family is so extended, I can't keep them all straight!)  outdoors by the river.  I got a chance to see a lot of family I hadn't seen in a long time, as well as meet people who last saw me when I was a baby. As for the weeding itself: The reverend stumbled over a few of his lines and the groom and bride couldn't stop giggling, but I felt really happy for them and in all it was a beautiful ceromony.

The food was excellent too. A++

But yeah, I think life is starting to get better. My midterms were Wenesday last week and then we had the rest of the week off because the teachers were going to be forced to attend workshops. My mom hated it, and she told me that she learned absolutly nothing. But I think we both agree the first nine weeks were hell on both of us, so as a result the next nine weeks will be better.

Also, as a treat we finally bought the complete first season of Heroes! We plan to marathon all the episodes sometime soon.

Atlus, I hate you as much as I love you.

I HATE SCHOOL AND HOMEWORK  SO MUCH.  

I hate to say it, but senior year has not gotten off to a good start. I primarily blame statistics, since I am so lousy in math. The other's I'm doing alright in; though the homework they assigned the first few weeks was ridiculous. But with statistics, I am so lost in that class it might as well be taught in another language. Staying after, and even going to Saturday school are not helping.

It's really eaten into my time, and I haven't been this exhausted in a long time. I really hope it starts to get better because I miss fandom and having free time.
 
I did finally manage to completely read A Feast for Crows though finally. I read at school during lunch and it was quite excellent. I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series.
 

My Mum is the most awesome Mother ever.

I'M.

GOING.

TO OTAKON!!!!!11111

Wow, that was one awesome trip! I just got back in from Washington yesterday, and then just proceeded to crash. I'll probably do a full write-up later about the LeadAmerica conference, but for now, I justywant to catch up on all the thinks I've missed and unpack.

And start catching up on summer school. Woe is me.

These are not just numbers.

http://community.livejournal.com/clamp_rants/61409.html <-- This is some strange combination of awesome and WTFness.

Still good joke though, clamprants has been getting a bit full of KuroxFai rants.

I do believe I will be watching clamprules though. The first post in there sent me into hysterics.

ARGH.

I hate school and it's stupd time limits on projects when I can practically smell summer vacation.


At least Mama really liked the cake I baked her and the card.

My inner Harry Potter nerd has surfaced again. How else to explain my rabid intrest in read_hp?

Ah, Harry Potter fandom I've never really been a part of you, no matter how much I love the books. Except for when I point and laugh at you on Fandom Wank. But it really is the end of journey--I started reading the books when I was only eight or nine. And I should enjoy this ride with everyone else.

Now where the hell did I stuff my books?

THERE WAS A BAT IN OUR HOUSE.

Looking back on it now, even just a few minutes later, it is now the most hilarious thing ever. Mum and I were just finishing watching Survivor on a poorly tuned channel when all of a sudden we heard a chirp-like sound and this brown blur flew over our heads and crashed into the plants on the shelf just above the living room chairs.

My mother jumped to her feet, "Oh my god!" she exclaimed, "It's a bird!"

I had gotten to my feet and was watching the fake plant while Mama talked about opening the back door to let it out. Well, at that momment the 'bird' decided to climb out from behind the plant and hang by its feet on the edge of the shelf.

It was a bat. Cue my mother having a complete freakout. She let out this little girlish scream and grapped onto me. The bat took off and started flying around--which made our dogs (esspecially Callie who's a bird dog) go crazy. Mama whirled us both around as we tried to keep our eyes on it, while at the same time I told her to calm down.

Well, the bat disapeared into the darkness of our late-at-night house. That's when my mother and I (dadadadada~) sprung into action.

"Mama, call Animal Control."
"What the hell is a bat doing in our house?"
"I don't know, but that means there's an opening in our house somewhere letting it get in."
"That is really creepy."
"It's a fruit bat, Mama."
"It's still fucking creepy."

Since aside from a certain glitch in my brain concerning cockroaches, most things that people find creepy--snakes, frogs, snails, spiders, and now I guess I can add bats to the list, don't phase me at all. So I sent Mama to look through the yellow pages for Animal Control to find out what we should do, while still sticking to our plan to try and let it out of the house.

But first I had to relocate the bat. Lily Latte, one of our cats, had been sitting on top of the stairs looking down on the scene. Callie was still looking really excited as well. I knew those two would do a far better job of locating our night visitor than I would>. Sure enough, Molly Mocha, our other cat trotted down the stairs and disappeared into the front room of the house. I followed her.

Well, it paid off--no sooner had I entered the room that I heard the chirps again and the bat burst into flight all around the room. I knocked back Callie who had been right behind me to keep her from jumping up and trying to eat the damn thing while I alerted Mama that I had found it.

"Where?"
"In the Living--Dining--Whatever your're calling it today. The front room of the house."
"OH MY GOD."

By this time the bat had flown and crash landed into quite a few of the room's objects and furniture. I felt sorry for the poor little thing. I know fruit bats are tiny, but I don't think this one was that old at all. But age doesn't mean a thing to Mocha, so I had to pull her by the scruff of her neck to keep her from getting under the couch or behind the chair and eating the bat.

By this time Mama had gotten the door open and we were all ducking our heads as the bat flew aroud. Finally it landed on the tile rightin the front hall. Well, Mama had a newspaper in her hands, so carefuly holding it in two hands, she pushed it under the bat and took it outide, where it flew away. Just as quickly, she was back in the house closing the door after her so the bat wouldn't get back in.

"How the hell did a bat get in our house?" Mama asked looking out the door.
"Check upstairs to see if the door to the attic in my room was open." I replied, since the door in question for some reason always seems to be opening on its own.

She did so, and just a minute later she came down and confirmed that the said door had indeed been open. I told her that that might mean there's an opening somewhere in there that allowed the bat to get in. We'd have to check it out later when there was light.

"That was really creepy" my mother repeated as she settled back into her chair.
"It's a fruit bat, Mama."
"It was Dracula."

But maybe I should check to see if we have a butterfly net, just in case we have anymore creatures of the night (Or should I say brides of Dracula?) up there.

(P.S. My mother is actually pretty cool. Certain situations just turn her into a nervous little-girl. Like a bat in the house.)

NEW LAYOUT! No pretty header or anything of that kind, but the old one was getting on my nerves. It should be a nice placeholder for the time being. Like the red?

I've been so busy lately that I've been negleting my New Year's Resolutions. I'm trying to catch up on them. Overcoming my severe case of fandom shyness is still a long way off, but I am starting to friend people I've stalked admired for a while now.

Signing up on MB and joining more communities is next in line. I havn't been that involved in fandom for years I think the last MB I was really involved in was...Megchan's Digimon Sekai. Damn.

Oh well, I guess you have to restart somewhere.

Well, I finally finished both Phoenix Wright games. I only have this to say:

ONE BIG HAPPY LAWYERING FAMILY Y/N?

Really, those were the best hours I've spent in a long long time. The characters are made of awesome and so are the cases.

Third game needs to come out now.
