My life has been pretty low-key lately, except for last weekend when I went "camping" (and I use the term very loosely because it was basically sleeping outside in a tent at a lake house) with a few girls from my dorm at ASP. It was my friend Kate's family's lake house, so a bunch of her family was up there too. It was a good time. There were many Adventures including bonfires, tubing, boat rides, offroading, running around in the dark trying to scare each other, being in two places at once, card games, antique stores, photo ops, ice cream, and trying not to die while barreling down a dirt road hill at about 55 miles per hour. Eventually I will have pictures up on Facebook.
Other than that weekend adventure, though, I've just been hanging out at home. (& my brother and I will be the only ones home until Sunday, so if anyone wants to come keep me company...) I've also realized that I have less than two weeks now before school starts and so I really have to finish up my summer homework... but most of the time I'm really, really lazy about it. I've already done enough work this summer, damn it.
Oh, and yesterday I got a new pair of glasses because my current pair has a prescription that's five years old and so they really don't help me that much anymore. I still won't be wearing glasses that much, but it'll be nice to not have to put in my contacts if I want to be able to see while I'm lounging around the house.
Obligatory geek!note: Crisis Core music is fricking awesome, Sephiroth is my Omnicidal Maniac lover, and I wish I had a DS so that I could satisfy my love for the Organization with Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. I guess I can just hope for a PS2 release, just like Chain of Memories came out for the PS2 when I wasn't paying attention.

( fifty aerith/leon sentences - fear their compound/complex-ness! )
Prompts come from the community 1sentence, which I'd try to link to except for the fact that apparently LJ doesn't like me or my linking attempts. I've decided I'm rather fond of this style of writing, though; it's very non-commitment-like. (Makes it sound like I'm having relationship issues with writing.) I've also really been loving Aerith/Leon lately, and I've discovered that they're rather easy to write.

Perhaps as a result of this, I've had a major plot bunny attack, and currently I have three ideas running through my head. One is an Aneirin/Sidra short piece, in which Aneirin uses adult beverages to get Sidra to make out with him; another involves Antares being a pyro scientist, probably including aspects of his relationship with Leah; the third involves Talia post-Arx Chalybs and her abilities and her friendship with Leon and Freya. So yeah. If only I had more time.

So the layout's working now, except the alignment's not quite right, but I think it's supposed to be that way. Oh well.
Now? On to my deep analysis crap that I wrote last night that probably nobody cares about
So I'm fairly certain that some aspects of "Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories" were borrowed from "Final Fantasy VII..
... And between this and the work I'm doing on my current writing project with Keira and her memory that was the target of Eltanin's experiments in memory-altering, I'm really getting sick of the word "memory."
I've decided that "The Drugs Don't Work" by the Verve could be Future!Jack's theme song on Lost...
Today's also the one-year anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm going to celebrate by displaying three of JKR's ridiculously written sentences from HP&DH. First we have "Water filled Harry's eyes and mouth: He could not see or breathe: Then, with an awful lurch, the cart flipped over and they were all thrown out of it." There are a couple of things wrong with this. First, although I don't think it's exactly incorrect, I hate her habit in her later books of connecting sentences together with colons, especially because she capitalizes the first letter of the second sentence, which I'm pretty sure is incorrect. Secondly, why the hell does she connect THREE sentences in this way? Especially when two of them are rather short and choppy? Why couldn't she have just said, "Water filled Harry's eyes and mouth, and he could not see or breathe. Then, with an awful lurch, the cart flipped over and they were all thrown out of it." It would have eliminated a lot of unnecessary colons. Then she later decides to combine three sentences again: "He spotted Ginny two tables away; she was sitting with her head on her mother's shoulder: There would be time to talk later, hours and days and maybe years in which to talk." She actually used a semi-colon this time, but then she has to ruin it by tacking on another sentence, connected by a colon. Bad JKR, bad! The third sentence includes more absurd colon usage: "One shivering second of silence, the shock of the moment suspended: and then the tumult broke around Harry as the screams and the cheers and the roars of the watchers rent the air." Yes, I know that Voldemort's just been defeated, so maybe she should be granted a bit of creative grammatical license to convey the Drama (which is why I won't comment on all the "and's"), but that colon should NOT be there. A simple comma would have sufficed, damn it.
Despite all of JKR's failures with HP&DH, however, there are still some redeeming moments.
- "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!" (Molly Weasley FTW!)
- Hero!Neville cutting off Nagini's head and all that.
- The whole chapter "The Prince's Tale." I cannot tell you how much I adore that chapter.
- Remus and Tonks getting married and having a baby. Of course, that was pretty much ruined when they got KILLED OFF ;_; I don't think I've ever been angrier about a character death (or two characters' deaths, in this case).
Oh, and I have to say that the chapter when Harry's in between life and death on the Farplane in King's Cross, I couldn't help but think of a badfic that I read (well, actually, I just read the sporked version over at deleterius) about Female!Harry stuck on Luna's Astral Plane of Love where s/he experienced constant orgasms (yes, that did scare me away from the fic). My FFX brain also immediately thought "ZOMG IT'S UNSENT!HARRY!" Because, you know, he was caught between life and death...
Okay, analysis!brain has been shut off. It needs to be put to use on The Scarlet Letter now.

So biology class today was just a wee bit awkward and proved that the majority of the block D sophomore honors biology class is not ready to be sexually active. The point of the class (in Mrs. Hardy's words as best I can remember them)? "Use condoms because I don't want any of you to get STDs!" I think we were supposed to just review reproductive systems and all that wellness-ish stuff, but somehow she ended up teaching us about different methods of birth control. It was... interesting.
I am very excited for the weekend. Hopefully I can play a little more of "Kingdom Hearts II" so that I can soon finish it (on Proud Mode!) and return it to Shaylagh. Honestly, though? Proud Mode isn't that much harder than the normal mode. It's not like in the first game when I play on Expert Mode and can't get past Guard Armor. Oh, well. More secret-video-without-any-extra-work for me!

And then I fought the battle in which Sora must defeat 1000 Heartless, and that was a lot of fun. I get a strange amount of glee from using the "Sparkle Ray" reaction command. But it's so fun, killing Heartless with a shiny ray of something.
... But now those stupid Chinese Heartless with the big swords have proved that they can still kick my ass, ten hours into the game later.
(Yes, I am a scary person. I know.)

Also, I think I must get some writing done since I have all this time off. I'm still working on Chapter 9, which has been sitting idly for probably almost a month now. I just can't think of anything else to do with Talia, Perrin, and Antares at the moment besides having them have Boring Conversations. I need to give them something exciting to talk about.

I was playing "Kingdom Hearts" on expert mode on Thursday night, and I was doing fine until I got to Traverse Town. I guess I should have realized that I was doomed when Leon/Squall (after reading the "Final Fantasy VIII" game script, I can't just refer to him as Leon anymore) beat me with just a couple swings of his gunblade. Then I went to Guard Armor and quickly lost to it twice (the first time I died because it fell on me--I'm still trying to work that one out), so I gave up. I also kind of scared myself by inadvertantly referring to Riku as "Perrin," which is Not a Good Thing. Perrin is not a Riku substitute. Tidan may have been a Riku substitute, but Perrin is not. If Perrin had to be compared with any video game character, he'd probably be Squall/Leon because he thinks far too much. He gets that from me, I think.
Today on the way to and from my cousins' house I was reading The Amber Spyglass and ZOMG LOVE. I was at a really good part too, so it was all eee!land of the dead, eee!mulefa, eee!Metatron, eee!Mrs. Coulter and Lord Asriel shippy-ness... and I had to stop reading right before the Will/Lyra shipping fun. It never ceases to amuse me how these twelve-year-olds are all "I love you!" Thankfully, though, it isn't incredibly cheesy (as in Hayden/Raen), and the part at the end when they have to day good-bye to each other absolutely breaks my heart. But still. Twelve-year-olds in love is amusing.
I would have a quote of the day from The Amber Spyglass, but it's upstairs and I don't want to go get it. So instead, I'll just reference it in my location.

reasons why i am in a shiny mood:
1. i finished chapter six of "the power of light." that's 11,296 words that i have in sequence right now. this is very exciting. also, i have a pretty good idea of what's going to happen in chapter seven, and i already have part of it written. yay!
2. i was playing "kingdom hearts" last night and i found a partial file that up to hollow bastion before the second riku fight. so i decided to play on that file. i soon discovered that i hadn't done atlantica on that file (because i have a certain adversion to atlantica), but i decided to be brave and do it. so i got to the first ursula battle, feeling a certain sense of doom because the first ursula battle=death of sora. but this time i actually listened to king triton and USED MAGIC on ursula's cauldron. i ended up defeating ursula on the first attempt. then i went to fight creepy giant ursula. i defeated her with no problem at all. so then i started feeling all shiny and decided to gummi-ship myself over to hollow bastion to fight against riku/ansem. and through some mad curing, aero-ing, ether-ing, and stabbing skills, i managed to beat him on my first attempt, which has never happened before (i remember my first time through the game i had to have shaylagh beat him for me!). then i was in an even shinier mood because i got to see all the awesome cutscenes that came after (and i got to hear "hikari - instrumental" in its context. so now whenever i hear it, i can picture what's going on). and i got to play as heartless!sora, which is really the most awesome part of the game because you're just running around as an ickle shadow heartless. so then, after i magically got transported to traverse town and dealt with business there, i decided to go to the coliseum and try out the hercules cup. i got to the final boss of that, hercules, and felt a sense of doom because hercules is a pain in the ass to beat. but guess what? i beat him first attempt too! but then i stopped playing shortly after because it was getting late. but that is very exciting. four boss battles that usually take me many attempts to do, and i did it all in one try!

i hate having a plus account. but i need the extra userpics. i mean, look at the shiny-ness! *points to icon* my icon count is now 64. i made three jack/juliet icons yesterday. i also found a delightfully emo picture of zexion, so i made an icon of that. i think i'm going to do an icon showcase once i hit 100 icons.
whenever i was typing "hollow bastion" in the "reasons why i'm shiny" list, i always subconsciously thought "citadel of destiny." that is reason #82744 why i should change the name of the citadel of destiny. i used to always accidentally refer to things in "kingdom hearts" by their equivalents in my stories, but ever since i've changed names of people/places and de-kingdom-hearts-ified my writings, i haven't been doing it as much. but the citadel of destiny isn't even like hollow bastion anymore. there's no freaking citadel in it anymore. so i need a new name. (hey summer, do you wanna give me random keyboard typings again? that really helped last time.)
[EDIT: i'm on google right now and i noticed that the o's and the e's had army hats on them. so i thought to myself, "why are the google letters wearing funny hats?" and then i remembered, "oh yeah, it's veteran's day." don't look at me like that. i have dumb moments, okay?]
[EDIT #2: for some reason i want to write a blond kind-of-emo male character named leon. unfortunately, there is no room for such character in my immediate writings. note to self: make room for a blond kind-of-emo male character in later books. also, i almost forgot to watch the amazing race because i was too busy making an emo cloud icon.]

and "defying gravity" reminds me of what i did when i was home alone on saturday for 5 or so hours. i was on youtube on my dad's computer, and i started off watching some potter puppet pals videos. then i discovered that there is a whole realm of kingdom hearts videos on youtube. *glee!* so i watched some fan videos (my favorite of which was a video of axel and larxene set to "defying gravity"), and then i learn that on a wonderful website called kh-vids.net there are CUTSCENE VIDEOS! which made me even more gleeful! and apparently in japan there's a playstation version of "chain of memories" and there were cutscenes from that on the website. so i watched a bunch of those. the scenes are so much better in non-gameboy format =) they were in japanese, of course, but someone was kind enough to give them english subtitles.
but for some reason things sound a lot different in japanese. larxene has this high schoolgirl-ish voice, which makes me giggle because she's supposed to be this very evil character. and sora sounds a lot more angry "you don't understand the depths of my pain!" in japanese. especially after axel kills vexen and sora turns to axel and exclaims something to the effect of "what the hell is with you people?" (yes, he does use the word "hell." i find it weird for sora to be saying "hell," but whatever.) and it is also very amusing to hear donald and goofy in japanese =)
my created icon count is now up to 45. half of the are kingdom-hearts related right now, but that's partly because i did an organization XIII series and so that's 13 icons right there. my current fandom for which i'm creating icons is star wars. and then i'll go back and make more harry potter and lost.
thanks to isabella, i have lots of fun subject titles from the songs she gave me. (we pirated music over the weekend, in case you didn't hear!) don't worry, we didn't do anything too illegal. we just used bella's mad computer skills to transfer music from lyra to her computer.

...of course, if i really did have prophetic dream powers, the school authorites would tell me that instead of my second lunch period, i now wil take pre-calculus with shaylagh because i'm just so darn good at math. but we all know that's not going to happen anytime soon, so maybe i just have select prophetic skills.
also, last night i finished reading my "kingdom hearts" scripts (but i skimmed through a lot of the disney storylines--especially in kh2 because the game is more than twice as long as the first game). i was reminded of axel's awesomeness once again. he is one of those misunderstood almost-villains. i love misunderstood would-be villains. also, i want to commandeer the names saïx and auron.
while reading the scripts, however, i got all sorts of plot bunnies. i didn't actually write any of them, though, but i did write 600-some words of "the power of light." i would have written more but a) it was past midnight and b) i was at a place in the chapter where i basically had to make it not boring for the reader as keira goes from point a to point b and i'm not really good at that kind of thing.
also, three years ago on this day
actually, i have a strange desire to watch disney movies. you know what movie kh2 really made me want to watch? "tron." i've never seen it before because it's one of those really obscure movies. but also, i want to watch "toy story" and/or "aladdin." also i want to watch "hercules," but i don't own that one.
for my 16th birthday we're watching lots of disney movies, savvy?

My second round of gifts consisted of:
- A pair of socks with a $15 iTunes gift card in it
- A $25 Barnes & Noble gift card
- Tarzan on DVD (YAY!) and the Broadway Tarzan soundtrack
- Latin page-a-day calander (I'm considering putting this in my locker so people will be attracted to my locker and so Clarisse won't think it's "boring)
Last night and this morning I watched Tarzan, and that is a very very sad movie. I cried. And I always have a strong desire to say, "Tell your sister... you were right..." when Kerchak is dying, even though that most clearly belongs in Return of the Jedi. But I'm also happy because I've been playing tons of KH: Chain of Memories (because that's basically what I do if I'm around Jacob when he has his Gameboy around), and I've seen tons of Axel. I must stop being in love with pixelated evil/misunderstood people.

Today is Christmas Eve =) And I'm still not really feeling the spirit. I suppose once we watch some Christmas movies (usually we watch Home Alone on Christmas Eve) and after I go be a prophet in the Christmas pageant, I might feel it a little more. But really, I don't feel the spirit until Christmas Day and then on the days after when we have relatives invade my house and I have no time whatsoever to myself. But my mom said yesterday that I might not have to have cousins sleep in my room, which made me happy because then I can still type and watch movies.
I'm also happy because my brother and I are getting my mom season 7 of Friends for Christmas which means after she's watched it all I can steal it and watch it on my laptop with subtitles. I'm also very proud of myself because I managed to wrap the battery-powered cell phone charger that my brother got for my mom and it's not square or rectangular! And it doesn't look that bad!
Well I have 10 minutes until my mom wants me in the playroom to clean stuff up... =\ So I think I'll have time to read a chapter or two of something I've been reading on Fictionpress before I have to go do work. Somehow my mom always manages to make me clean on Christmas Eve.

So even though Mr. Eko, my drug-lord-turned-priest hero, got killed off last night, I'm not that depressed. First, I kind of expected him to be gone after the last season finale, so it was kind of a surpise to see him still (mostly) alive. Second, it wasn't really a surprise death to me (not like the murders of Shannon, Ana Lucia, and Libby last season). And third, my dad heard last week that the Mr. Eko actor was going to be on the Regis and Kelly show this morning, and apparently all the killed-off characters appear on that show the day after their killing-off episode airs. So now I think I'm more depressed that after next Wednesday, I'm going to have to wait 13 WHOLE WEEKS until there's a new episode =(
So I realized that National Novel Writing Month began yesterday, and since I'm nowhere near motivated enough to participate in the /real/ NaNoWriMo, I'm just kind of going to do my own version of it and try to finish "Poetic Justice" by then. It'll probably end up being around 50,000 words anyway o.o That authorfiction covers so much stuff. Also, I think it's kind of cool that Iwas born during National Novel Writing Month. (My birthday is up on the door in Latin class now! Yay!)
I've suddenly had this strong urge to play Kingdom Hearts II, ever since I saw that guy on Lost last night with an eye patch because he reminded me of Xigbar, the Organization XIII member with the eye patch. Oh, and of course, I love to watch the cutscene where Axel is just standing there applauding Roxas. It's so awesome. Yeah I'm a loser. Or, as Megan called me in lunch, a "bobo."

Last night Shaylagh and I were watching a bunch of stuff on The N and we watched two shows involving lesbians and that channel shows a lot of commercials for pads and tampons.
So yesterday I had my auditions for repertory company and right after I was going to come here to Shaylagh's house, so I had everything packed before I left for auditions. And of course I was wearing a leotard during this time, and I forgot to pack a bra because normally when I'm packing to go somewhere I'm already wearing a bra. So right now I'm still wearing the blue leotard I've worn since yesterday because I really have no other choice. I'm really stupid.

I've had the song "The Adventure" by Angels & Airwaves stuck in my head ever since I heard it on a commerical last night, so I just got the lyrics. They're awesome. I'm also getting some Death Cab For Cutie lyrics.
So I think I'm nearly done with playing KH2. I beat up Sephiroth today and got to level 99 (because that's the highest level you can get to, unlike in the first game when you can get to level 100). And once you beat Sephiroth you can see him and Cloud beating each other up and that was very satisfying because there were TWO guys with long swords. But I think I'm going to do the end of the game one more time and then put it away to return to Shayla. Then, maybe I'll play some of the first game and try to beat up Sephiroth in that. But in the first game it's harder because you can't put Elixirs in your shortcut menu.
I watched the whole first season of Full House in 28 hours. I have way too much free time on my hands.
Yesterday my mom, Andrew, and I went to TGI Friday's for dinner because it was too hot for my mom to cook. And then we went to Best Buy because Andrew had to buy some CDs and then we ent home. And when we were getting out of the car Andrew said, "Uh... Allison... you just shut my shorts in the door," and my mom started cackling with laughter and she wouldn't stop laughing.
Ohh yeah, and last night I had more absurd and complicated dreams that make me believe that I should be banned from the dream world.

I've been watching the first season of Full House on my laptop since about 8:00 last night, with a half-hour shower break and eight and a half hours of sleep. And I also nearly beat up Sephiroth in KH2 yesterday. He had two and a half lifebars left, but I ran out of elixirs and mega-potions so I was killed by his attack that leaves you with one HP. Only seven more levels till I'm level 100. Whoooooo.
I'm starting to make a list of everything in my fictional writings that take place in the lovely alternate universe I've created. You know, characters and worlds and such. And so yesterday while flying the Gummi Ship in KH2 because I had nothing better to do, I came up with this pretty awesome backstory idea that I probably won't work on for a long long time because I have so many other things to work on. But it was one of those ideas that was like, BAM! Well, not quite, actually. Part of it I came up with on Monday night while falling asleep, and some of it has to do with something in another bit of failed backstory that I came up with a few months ago. But yeah.
It's very hot =(
I made another movie yesterday. It involves a picture of the Potter Puppet Pals Snape dancing to "Drop It Like It's Hot." It's pretty much awesome.

I discovered that I can play my Harry Potter Scene-it disc on my laptop so I was playing "party mode" all day yesterday. And I am falling in love with Tom Riddle (not the Audr Tom Riddle because she's got Krusty unless they broke up) because I get excited when he shows up in a film clip. I'm all, "ZOMG TOM RIDDLE!"
I had a dream last night that Isabella, that guy named Bowles who writes "You Can Call Me Tommy'," and I were down in the SPS cafeteria and all of us were writing on on our laptops (yes, even Isabella). And Bowles was wearing a plaid lumberjack shirt. I should be banned from dreaming.
So on Sunday I got my new flipflops. They're Tevas and are very comfortable, just as comfortable as my old ones from the ABC store. But I still have my old pair that I'm going to keep forever and ever just like my T-shirt I got in Disney World.
I was attempting to beat up Sephiroth in KH2 yesterday. But the furthest I got was knocking down around 5 lifebars, which might seem like a lot, but the guy's got, like 15 lifebars. It's insane. But it's kind of fun to get knocked around by that big long sword.

I have now survived two days of Bible camp. Isabella and I fused our groups together to form the Black Sisters Minus One crew because she only had two kids out of four. So we were a SuperGroup. And it was very funny because the camp's "Bible Memory Buddy" was a jack rabbit, so Isabella and I were saying, "rrrrrrabbit" and then one of the singing Station Leaders asked the kids what rabbits do and Isabella and I just looked at each other and burst into laughter. All we could think of was the "would you like to be a rrrrrrabbit?" incident in 7th grade while playing Park Bench.
I just finished watching Star Wars II with commentary from George Lucas and some other people. It was annoying because half their commentary was pointing out all of the CG things and they we always talking while Count Dooku was talking so I couldn't think, "Haha, it's DiZ," as many time as I would have liked to. And I realized that in KH2 the "Secret Ansem Reports" are kind of whiny emo stuff, because there's one part of it that's all, "Xehanort stole my research and my pride so I am going exile myself into the realm of darkness..and I am now Darkness in Zero so I will now be called DiZ..." And then he's like, "My people won't smile anymore with Xehanort in charge!" It's kind of funny.
This morning I woke up at 4:30 and I couldn't go back to sleep (though I eventually did at around 6:00) but I realized something that doesn't really work in Kaarisme's backstory. She's not going to able to leave her three-year-old daughter in a room all by herself 24-7 while doing "important" Dark Government work. So I need to somehow have someone be with little Pyra at all times. I suppose Kaarisme can just do stuff in her room and have Pyra with her. And if Xopelor comes, she could just tell Pyra to hide. Because, of course, Pyra is all part of the revenge plan because Kaarisme is planning for Pyra to take over the Dark Government when she's old enough because Kaarisme's angry at Xopelor for killing Aneirix's mother.
Andrew is eating a pink bubble gum popsicle, so I made fun of him and then he started analyzing how I hide my angry feelings spawned from his constant analyzing of me. He is so... queer.
I now have officially written 4 Star Wars fanfictions. And apparently my grammar-check thinks "Obi-Wan" is plural, because it always wants me to use a plural verb with it and then it becomes things like "Obi-Wan are." Grammar check can't be trusted, just like politicians.
