Well, a couple weeks ago, my family decided to write in our diaries every Sunday. Since this is technically my diary, looks like all of my posts are gonna be on Sunday.
Where to start? Um, my sister decided a few days ago to get her Patriarchal Blessing, which kinda came as a surprise to me, as she never talked about it before. Looks like the whole family is gonna come to it, whenever it is, so I am excited for that. Maybe it will help me while I'm preparing for my own!
Oh, a new friend of mine recommended Wattpad to me, and so far I've read one story on it. Of course, since I've had very little ...appetite for anything except Fullmetal Alchemist fanfictions, that's the only stuff that's in my library. While on the topic of fanfics, I am nearing the end of my story "Ed the Cat." I'm kinda surprised that this one is almost done, but I feel like the other version "Al the Cat" is gonna last much longer. I thought they would both follow similar timelines and therefore end at about the same time and stuff, but Al's is getting stretched out more. I think that's because I'm doing more cutesy stuff in it, and/or they visit more people, etc. Mainly, Al isn't in as much of a hurry as Ed is. This makes me wonder just how long the story will go, and what turns it will end up taking.
Remember that forum I spoke of last post? So far, only two friends have joined it. I already made it known to the world that it's there, so I'm not sure why there haven't been more. Most forums end up with nobody or just a couple of people, so I guess mine might be one of those. What worries me more, though, is that the two friends who joined, I Am Darkrai and Vibraknife (who I think I haven't mentioned yet), don't get along that well. Interestingly, they know each other in real life. And apparently Darkrai has a bad personality that really ticks off VK. And apparently, the character that Darkrai tends to use named Ryan (but that's not his real name; his real name is- OOPS, he probs doesn't want people to know! *zips mouth shut*) is exactly the same, besides having powers and all. Vibraknife just doesn't really have a way to escape him, poor guy. He tends to rant off to me how much he hates Darkrai and stuff, and sometimes vice versa. I didn't get into this kind of situation often before, the kind where people just spill all of their problems on me, so I am not really enjoying it all that much. I try to stay neutral, although agreeing if there was something that I saw with my own eyes, and just hope that neither side tries to suck me in more into the conflict. It really sucks, cuz I'm not sure who I should believe.
Last week in school we started reading Romeo and Juliet in English. It's actually easier for me to understand than expected. It was the same with Edgar Allen Poe, when we read one of his short stories. A lot of students were totally lost, and the teachers were telling us that even adults tend to have trouble with this kind of stuff, but besides any words I didn't know, I got everything. Now that I think about it, maybe it's because of reading scriptures? They are extremely old, and you have to learn how to read their dialect and grammar and stuff, so maybe that also prepped me for reading other older works of writing. Huh. It surprised everybody when it turned out that the whole play started with some dirty jokes, the ones which I was reading out loud for the class. *extreme sweat-drop* I actually preferred the part where Sampson talked about chopping ladies' heads off than that. Is that a good or bad thing? Hopefully good.
One assignment that we had was to take the prologue from Romeo and Juliet (which I just absolutely LOVE, by the way) and replace parts of it so that it was now of a completely different story. He gave it to us with lines where we were suppose to put our own words, kinda like a Mad Lib. With a suggestion from my sister, I wrote it after Fullmetal Alchemist! Warning you, if you haven't read/watched it and plan to, it has extreme spoilers. Don't read this if you still want surprises!
Two brothers, both (once) alike in looks,
In fair Amestris, where we lay our plot,
From Father's grudge break to new mass murder,
Where human lives make red stones.
From forth the hard hearts of those artificial humans
A pair of alchemist prodigies take their country back;
Whose bodies lost to piteous Equivalent Exchange
Do with their skills what their neighbors can't.
The traumatizing passage of their mother's two deaths,
And the continuance of their State Alchemist status,
Which, but their final battle, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours of voilence of our stage;
The which if you with excitement attend,
What here shall miss, our heroes shall strive to mend.
Not too shabby for being a Mad Lib, eh? Every time I read it I get all happies inside! I pretty much have it memorized at this point.
Yesterday I finally watched Frozen! We watched it with some of my sister's friends, the ones that usually come for Friday Movie Night, but it was moved to Saturday or something. I'll admit that it was good, but I honestly just didn't like it as much as Tangled and some other movies. I think something about it was that the music just sounded too similar to other musicals, it didn't have anything special about it. Right now, I can try to think of one of the songs in it, and instead "When Will My Life Begin?" from Tangled pops into my head. I freaking can't remember ANY of the music from a movie I watched yesterday, except the lines "Let it go, let it go!" and "The cold never bothered me anyway," but that actually took too much effort. I take that as a bad sign.
...I'm done. Bai!
