So, yes, today is my birthday and has been since it was midnight this...er...morning. Apologies for not replying to the messages some of you have left, I've been a bit lazy as of late. I haven't deleted them yet, and won't until I at least look at them. I'll see what I can do about that later. =3

Anyways, today was fairly uneventful. I haven't gotten many presents at all, but I have money, so all's fine. I had school, my little sister and a friend of her's "attacked" my locker with papers saying 'happy birthday' and 'happy sweet 16!' and such. I got cake and a giant cookie. I ♥ giant cookies. I've also got another Nightwish CD thanks to one of my best friends. ^^ I've also got flowers, thanks to one of my aunts and uncles on my mom's side. I had school today (le grrr...), and I went over to my dojang (Taekwondo school) today to work on nunchakus with Courtney, not that we did anything, mind you... But, it turns out that not only do Milo-sensei and I share a birthday today, but an almost black belt at my school, Mike, also shares my birthday. I already knew it, but this fully confirmed it.

Sam, a guy who I *ahem* have a big crush on who also goes to my dojang, wished me a happy birthday. ^^ Well, twice, really. The first time he waved like usual and said, 'happy birthday!' the second time, not half a minute later, as he was walking away, he turned around and gave me a look over his shoulder that has made me melt for the rest of the night and said, 'happy birthday again!' ♥_♥ Bwaaaa...I mean, this guy is not the average shallow, cocky, jock, etc. that you find everywhere else. He's a Christian, a Republican (yes, politics do matter to me in a relationship...), very respectful, loyal, has an awesome sense of humor, yet knows when it's a good time to be serious, he's quiet-ish (like yours truly is irl), and on top of all of that he's really pretty cute. It looks like he's starting to grow his hair back out again, at least a little bit. Now, mind you, all of the Buescher boys are flipping hot. Even Luke, the youngest, who can't be more than 13. But, there's something different about Sam that I like. I mean, they all have similar characteristics, but when you look into the eyes of each of them, you can tell that although they are brothers, they aren't each other. Now, chances of him liking me back are slim to none, and I've been burned enough times by boys knowing that I like them, either by me telling them or by a 'friend' flipping spilling everything, so I'm not planning on telling him my feelings face-to-face unless either he or I go to college out of state. I'm planning on going to PPCC for about a year or two (maybe) then going to Hillsdale in Michigan, then hopefully going on down to USYD in Australia, even if but for a semester. But, yeah... I could put my rant up here about what I like about him, but I don't think I'll do that. Anyways, I'm pretty sure that's all for now, and I've gotta work on my Lit before I get skinned alive tomorrow. -.-;;

Well, now I am officially in the Halloween mood. I've been listening to some dark-ish songs the past few days (The Howling, Mitternacht, Devil May Cry, The Poet and the Pendulum, etc.), nothing too hard core, like anything of Rob Zombie's. *shudders* He scares the effin frick out of me, like nothing else. I've also been reading The Cain Saga, by Kaori Yuki, which is her prequel to Godchild, and it's love. (From what I've read, it shouldn't be rated M. OT, yet, but not M, yet at least. I mean, c'mon, Angel Sanctuary so far is worse than The Cain Saga.) Yuki is just amazing. I really, really, really love her stories. Her art is beautiful and she has a way with drawing you into the story and whatnot.

Now, as much as I love Halloween, it's my 3rd fave holiday, after Christmas and my birthday (November 8, heck yes!), there are some things related to it that I can't stand, such as, well, ghosts. Last night during my Master Drive training thing, my coach (who was just awesome) said that he and his wife had a bad experience in their old house about two years back. he was over in Iraq, and she was home talking to him over the computer and what not and she heard footsteps, now, mind you, she's a really tough, strong-spirited Mexican-American, and she even got flipping creeped out by this. But, anyways, she heard footsteps upstairs, and she was about to go kick some butt, because she thought that her kids weren't in bed. When she got up there, they were all asleep. Well, later, when he got back, they had another experience similar to that, and as soon as they could, they got out of that house.

But, if there's one thing that creeps me out, it's stuff like that. Now, I don't believe in ghosts. I do, however, believe in God, angels, and demons. Maybe spirits, I'm a little iffy on that one. I've had some past experiences with things like that, and it's not fun. What I don't mind, are things like vamps, werewolves, zombies and such, because they're not real. I also just in general like things more Gothic, not everything, but some things.

Anyways, I've been in the Halloween mood as of late, and I can't wait until Wednesday, because Lyss and I are gonna go trick-or-treating for a while, before it gets too cold, seeing as her immune system is shot because of chemo and such, then we're gonna pig out on candy and watch NBC (Nightmare Before Christmas) and we'll probably also read more of The Cain Saga and/or Godchild, seeing as that's also fairly Halloweeny.

If there's one thing about Final Fantasy XII, aside from the fact that it doesn't have a save point in the Lhusu Mines, it's the fact that my favorite character dies within 20 minutes of starting the game, unless you don't save and if you waste time playing him while you can. Yesh, my favorite character is Reks, and he flipping dies really early on! Not only is he the hottest character, IMO, in the entire stinking game, but I was attached to him really, really quickly in that beginning bit...and Square kills him off! By stabbing him, of all the ways to die! Blargh! There wasn't even blood! ;-; Well, okay, so, the stabbing was okay, but turning him into a flipping human vegetable and then making him die!? How pathetic! ESPECIALLY right at the BEGINNING! I completely object! *kicks Square* They should at least bring him back, which they don't! Well, at least it wasn't Basch turned traitor, though I still object! >.<!! I'm dubbing Basch my second fave character, though he ranks a lot lower than Reks... Now to make ideas for bringing Reks back to life... Anybody got any ideas? I mean, it IS Final Fantasy, so there IS magic...

*sigh* At least I've got a TON of screen shots of him. Now I want a plushie of him. ;-;

Well, this morning was going fairly well for a while...then my sister decided she was gonna bug me to no end about the computer and what not. I'm about to drag her outside and hang her from a tree by her tongue. Then my mom got home and started pestering me about calling Alyssa. I love my friend dearly, as you all know, but right now she's the last person that I want to think about. I'm pretty sure that my heart's been ripped in two throughout this whole thing, and to be pestered and annoyed about it is driving me insane! I'd love to spend more time with her, but she needs all the rest she can get right now, with her having undergone another surgery on Tuesday, and chemo and radiation as well sometime this week. Besides, it doesn't look like she's home right now. I know I told my mom that I'd let her know if this whole ordeal was affecting my mental state, given what's happened in the past, but you know what? I think that's a promise that I'll break, and I usually don't break promises. I don't care though! I just want people here to SHUT UP and LEAVE ME ALONE!! They don't get that when I want space, you'd better give it to me, or I'll go ahead and strangle you! The year 2007 has been hell on earth for both me and Lyssa, and I don't need people making it f***ing worse!
