Somehow between TG's state of lethargic tiredness and Titus's RETURN, I have managed to get soooo excited about a lot of things... namely ... I wanna go visit them in December : ). I called TG again... hehe... Whenever I'm bored around 4 or 5 pm, I never negelect to call him ^_^*. And so he keeps me VERY entertained for a long time XD. This time, it was fun, as usual, but there were a few TRADEMARKS to our convo. For one, he kept making fun of the way I said "yeah". He thought I say that cute or high -pitched or something... and I would be agreeing with him on whatever and suddenly he'd just put on this really girly voice and go "YEAAAAH! YEEEEAAAH!" XDDD. LOL. This got me to giggle for the longest time. Actually, I am still giggling. Then he put on this Russian accent. LOL. No, my parents wouldn't approve of him being a KGB agent or the leader of the Communist party. So that was fun... what else...

My dad killed my mouse today 0_o. I feel bad because he has to make ANOTHER venture to the store. It took him hours to get the damn thing to work, and when he did, he fried it -_-. Seriously, there was smoke ^_^***. Last time, he broke my laptop lock XD. Okay... anyway. I came back on and Titus came back woooo.

Um... Jeferry took my survey, which I have yet to post, and after all the *serious* matters were discussed, Titus is all in monster ego mode and *thinking* he can beat my ass in Smash Brothers. Let him THINK ALL HE WANTS. He will be under my IRON BOOT once I am finished with him and my Ness... Har. He will SO, SO be crushed. This is... just the way it is. Months of only having SSB as your only new game gets to you and he will FEEL THE FULL FORCE of this by the time I'm done with him. *pets Ness*. Or not. Well, one of us will get crushed, but I think I know who it is : ). O: ). We also disagreed on Nintendo's lack of online support... oh well. I could talk a long time about this "hindrance" of Nintendo... I don't want to get into it because I already did once tonight XD

Somehow, me visiting them got brought up again and I'm creating a list of stuff to do outside the hotel room *cough*. Lesse...

1. See Timeline *
2. See LOTR 3
3. Go to a beach : )
4. Go to a lake *cough*
5. Go to CiCi's(Titus's idea XD)
6. Go to an Orange Orchard <3 <3.

That's all I've come up with so far.... I will be so crushed if *somehow* I won't be able to make it. Every time I think about it, I become more determined, though. I gotta do it : ). Even though this isn't out of the country, it could very well be like my... *dream vacation* if you will XD.

* OMG TIME LINE. Today I got lots of reading into that book. They're about to go into the past it's getting SO SO exciting! The techno babble is interesting, I swear Michael Crichton is like my idol 0____o. I'm not getting into the technicalities of this one, this time it's too much for even ME. The Andromeda Strain is NOTHING copared to Quantum Mechanics -__-. hehe... I'm at the part of the book where they are about to go to the past... the most exciting part, in other words XD. The movie WILL be great, I know it. Because, as I was telling TG, his books might as well be the script of a movie with the way they're written into scenes and all. I'm so so excited... Fall 2003 ^_-. *makes plans to see it the first day it's out* XD. The first thing my dad told me after the book had come out and he read it was that it will become a movie soon, I knew the old man was right XD. I'm only disappointed I couldn't get my act together and read it earlier. Jeez... 2: 30 am. Time is flying today. I'm not tired though. But I'd better go to bed ANYWAY -_-. Don't want to fuxxor up my sleeping TOO much before I go to NY....

Current Mood: excited

I no like it. I took an IQ Test today, and got a score of 126. This is higher than average, I've heard... I'm having Alexis take it now. I have a feeling she will SURPASS me. It said I was a precisionist or something, and I was good with numbers... heh. INTERESTING.

Anyway, I have not been doing well with the reading this summer ~_~. I finished up my FIRST summer book, The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton... in two weeks after purchase, so I must PICK UP MY PACE. *orders herself to stop playing Zelda so much and read more* ^_^*.

The book itself was a little boring... about a virus that killed off a very small town of less than 100 people in Piedmont, Arizona. It was later hypothesized that this came from outer space. It was the most fascinating concept . Meh, BIG QUOTE TIME

The Messenger Theory had come from John R. Sameuls, a communications engineer. Speaking before the Fifth Anual COnference of Astronautics and Communications, he had reviewed some theories about the way in which an alien culture might choose to contact other cultures. He had argued that the most advanced concepts in communications in earth technology were inadequate, and that advanced cultures would find better methods.

"Let's say a culture wishes to scan the universe," he said. "Let's say that they wish to have a sort of 'coming-out party' on a galactic scale- to formally announce their existence, in every direction. What is the best way to do this? Radio? Hardly- radio is too slow, too expensice, and it decays too rapidly. Strong signals weaken withini a few billion miles. TV is even worse. Light rays are fantastically expensive to generate. Even if one learned a way to detonate whole stars, to explode a sun as a kind of signal, it would be costly.

"Besides expense, all these methods suffer the traditional drawback to any radiation, namely decreasing strength with distance. A light bulb may be unbearably bright at ten feet; it may be powerful at 1000 feet; it may be visible at 10 miles( an ultra powaa lightbulb? 0__o). But at a million miles, it is completely obscure, because radiant energy decreases according to the fourth power of the radius. A simple, unbeatable law of physics.

"So you do not use physics to carry your signal. You use biology. You create a communications system that does not diminish with distance, but rather remains as powerful a million miles away as it was at the source.

" In short, you devise an organism to carry your message. The organism would be self-replicating, cheap, and could be produced in fantastic numbers. For a few dollars, you could produce trillions of them, and send them off in all directions into space. They would be tough, hardy bugs, able to withstand the rigors of space, adnd they would grow and duplicate and divide. Within a few years, there would be countless numbers of these in the galaxy, speeding in all directions, waiting to contact life

"And when they did? Each single organism would carry the potential to develop into a full organ, or a full organism. They would, upon contacting life, begin to grow into a complete communicating mechanism. It is like spewing out a billion braincells, each capable of regrowing a complete brain under the proper circumstances. The newly grown brain would then speak to the new culture- informing it of the presence of other, and announcing it in which contact may be made"

Uh, yeah, now where was I? For those of you who wanna read this book, stop reading my entry, NOW. : ). When scientists went down there to investigate this, they found that all the people died of massive clotting. Only two survived. An infant and an old man. An ultra secure, advanced underground facility housed a few men working on the "Wildfire Project", designed to learn all they could about the strain. They poked and prodded at the green substance, and discovered it was neither bacterial, or a cell, at least, it didn't have the organelles inside to denote it being a cell... Also, if contamination occured, the whole building would self explode in three minutes, one man, Hall had the key to stop it. A surgeon, he was put into the project because apparantly studies showed that single men performed better than any other group 0_o. They later found out that the

The scientists had to discover what on earth the infant and the old man had in common , they found out that the man was taking an excessive amount of medication to make his blood more acidic than normal. Asprins and other crap were his self-remedy for his ulcer problems. But there was nothing at all wrong with the infant. Eventually, they found out that the virus only thrived in a very small PH scale. 7.3-7.5, or something like that. The baby was SCREAMING avidly at the time, and that somehow got it's PH down to basic level, while the old man was too acidic... Also, they discovered that the virus mutated to be non-lethal to humans at the very end. Because, there was a contamination and it was heading to LA...

I was told to walk my dog alone in this HEAT. RARG. I write NO MORE.

Current Mood: uncomfortable

What did I do last few days? Lots of pr0n yesterday, not only last night *cough* but in the afternoon as well XD. Adrienne and I went down to this used bookstore where I picked up a new Michael Crichton book FOR FOUR DOLLARS and I browsed in this NAKED book. Lots of peniz pictures *g*. My personal favorite would have to be the one with this STRING STUFF all around it so it looked like the person was flossing their dick XDD. bondage AND Penus? That's like a double treat for me, ehehehe.

ANYWAY, I've been having a lot of fun with my Chrono Trigger sheet music. Hehe, today I played Frog's theme like 10 times in a row. You can see my L33T CLARINET SKILLZ for yourself : ). It turned out BIG. 5 megs for 30 seconds? 0__o. That's a bit messed...

I'm all over the depression ^_^. I feel good again. I feel normal and happy. I'm glad I'm done depressing....

Hmm... Badminton has been eating up my time... On thursday I stayed at school until 8:30, friday, until 7. I got to be secretary on Friday and write down scores and stuff...

I've been... working on my story. it's coming along NICELY. Nice indeed... I like it so far. I hope and pray I can finsih it and it won't be too long because i want to submit it to my school's literary magazine.

I finished "Sphere"... was a great book, but had a crappy ending. I don't know if I feel like summarizing it now.Meh, WHY NOT

Okay... SO. This phychologist, Norman is the main character. He was sent to the south pacific on a top-secret government mission . When arriving there, he finds out that a mysterious ship crash-landed in the ocean 300 years ago. Eventually they find out that the ship is from the future, and had the ability to time-travel. Norman and the team *he* set up years ago on a project go down there in an underwater enviornment so they can board the ship and explore it...

After getting down there and meeting the crew that ran the station, Norman and the group go down there and find the ship has a "Sphere" an alien object that they are unfamiliar with. They find out that they could talk to whatever is *inside* the Sphere. The *being's* name is "Jerry" and they talk to it... And then... then the madness starts. People getting killed by giant squid... giant squids wrecking the underwater habitat. Eventually, there are only 3 people left. The Mathematitian, Harry, who was the first to step inside the sphere, Beth, the only female member and biologist, and Norman. They find out that the Sphere manifests their thoughts... gives them power by only thinking. So yeah... after that part in the book when the 3 of them are left... they discover more about the Sphere and find ways to stay alive. Beth kind of went mad... Harry was put out because Beth and Norman believed only Harry was making the manifestations when all three of them together were.

Okay, the ending was pretty sucky and I didn't like it, so I'm not writing it XD.

Around noon, I went to school, trying to find out missing work.. couldn't find any 0__o. DIDN'T FIND DUELL. #(*&#%@)*&@%. Meh, found Adrienne. She was happy to see me. Scoggy wasn't really. Oh well, he sucks anyway XD.

I went home and ALEXIS CAME OVER. YAAAY ^___^. I was so happy... and she was so nice 0__o. She brought me all sorts of stuff to make me feel better, including SOUP XD.

Started reading "Sphere", also by Micheal Crichton.... It's good 0____o. can tell already. I'm nervous about going back to school on Monday ;___;. But I haven't been feeling depressed for a few days now, and if THAT holds up, I should do fine. Or else, slink back to it ^_^*.

I need to start back on my life history again XD. Hopefully I can remember to do that next time.
