Hmmm, it really is difficult to get a blog entry started, isn't it? Especially when your life is rather calm and uneventful. Right now, I'm just sitting here on the computer (obviously), watching the Santa Claus Parade and roleplaying while talking to my friend on IM. It took me half the day to boot my annoying little brother off the computer. All he ever does is play stick figure flash games for hours and hours. It drives me crazy! At least I roleplay and blog and run websites which takes linguistic and organizational skill.
Well, let me start off by talking about the funny plot line going on in a Mystic Forest roleplay I'm in. I know it isn't the most exciting thing to talk about in a blog, but a blog means to just spew out the first thing that comes into your head. As my English teacher would say "just barf your mind onto the paper through your pen." Eloquent guy, eh?
Anyway, before I go into the storyline, you have to know who the characters are, so here they are:
Fiera - Elf. Commander of an army. She is very harsh and cold in her personality and does not show emotion easily.
Tharion - Elf. Warrior in Fiera's army and her lover. Emotional and passionate personality.
Yali - Elf. Young child. Fiera's adoptive daughter.
Duvessa - Faerie. Guardian of the Forest. Basically acts as a judge and political leader of the Forest.
Now, Fiera adopted Yali after her parents were killed and no one else would take her, believing that the girl was cursed because her parents died voilent deaths. Tharion was already Fiera's lover and he truly does cherish her as she does him. He wants to adopt Yali as his daughter as well but there is a problem. The Forest's law states that to jointly adopt a child, the two adults must be joined (married) and share a dwelling. Fiera and Tharion do not fit the qualifications. Tharion wants to become joined with Fiera so that he can adopt Yali (he also does love Fiera so it's not as though he is just using her). Even though Fiera loves Tharion as well, she is against the idea of becoming joined with him, because of her harsh and cold personality. This will eventually result in a nasty fight which splits the two apart and poor Yali is going to blame herself for it and run away which will send both Tharion and Fiera into a panic.
I'm not sure what's going to happen from there, but it looks promising. It should be fun to write it out.
On another, more realistic note, I'm watching the Santa Claus Parade. I watch it every year and it's become kind of a tradition. I love the big floats, they're really impressive. I could do without the announcer's lame jokes, though. That's probably why he's a news reporter the rest of the year. Humour is definitely not one of his strong points. Now they're showing the Penguin Party float... who the hell sponsors that one??? Probably Coca Cola or something... wait that's polar bears. Whatever. It's a cool float.
I love and hate procrastination at the same time. I love it because I have more time to what I want and have fun, but I hate it because it keeps me from getting what I need to get finished completed on time. I'm supposed to be writing an essay outline for English class but so far, I've yet to start it and it's due on Tuesday. Seeing as how I have my audition on Monday, I'm going to have to either buckle down and do it tonight (which seems highly unlikely) or rush to finish it on Monday night after I get back from my audition. I think the latter is what will end up happening. I love school but sometimes I wish I could just not do any work... I know, it's a strange polar opposite.
Oh great... another lame joke from the announcer on the Santa Claus Parade. Someone should smack him in the back of the head to knock the stupid out of him. He just made some ridiculous pun about the Rolling Stones. What the hell does the Rolling Stones have to do with Christmas?
On a completely different topic, it really bugs me when people become so close minded that they start to discriminate against people with other beliefs. There's this guy on a website I'm on who keeps posting in the forums saying that I'm going to burn in Hell and that I'm a filthy heathen whom God is going to cast into eternal damnation for my sins. All of this because I happen to be Wiccan. I think the situation is under control now, but it really hurts when people make false accusations about others without making an attempt to learn more about them first. Seriously, the guy's a whack-job. He claimed that he's seen Jesus and spoken with him and that he's been to Hell. I think he must have some kind of mental disorder, in which case I pity him and pray that he becomes healed of his illness somehow.
Anyway, I think this blog entry is long enough even though it was completely filled with fluff. It's alright. Most blogs are nowadays anyway. They're there for people to rant about random stuff in their lives. They serve as therapy for people more than anything else which is a good thing. Maybe that crazy guy who's buddies with Jesus should start a blog then because he really needs therapy.
*Note: In no way am I saying that Christianity is a bad thing or discriminating against Christians. The majority of my friends are Christian and I respect their beliefs just as they respect mine. I'm just saying that one guy is nuts for thinking that he's been to Hell and all that jazz. I accept all religions and all people who practise those religions as long as they are respectful of my beliefs as well.
