Goodbye, 2011.

Sincerely,

Rainfall, the Doctor’s Companion, and the rest of WTR.

Hey guys, BT here in the east coast, where we just welcomed 2012!

To those who dun have it yet, I betcha you are anticipating that countdown. And those who already had it, happy new year!

Happy New Years in the East Coast!

~Brave Tomato

It went by pretty quick. And if I go far enough in the deviant art journals, I can find my song for that year. I always put my music on shuffle and press play at midnight for the song of my year.

But seriously, 2011 went by really fast. I’m already almost halfway done with HS woo!

Party safely, and enjoy 2011 while you can!

I have two party poppers for midnight. YAY. I’m also watching Harry Potter. Woo!

GUESS WHO’S ON SUGAR HIGH.

Because my life is usually boring and I’ve been busy with stuff; I give you some of the things I enjoyed most about this December summed up in one post.

Conference Tournament: We got second. Pretty good for our team, though. We all cheered so loudly, and I had a good time even though I didn’t play much. Coach kinda left our trophy in my care, because he forgot it at the school. Luckily, I returned it to him the next practice.

Class Trip: We went Ice Skating. I didn’t fall very many times. I guess all my experience with In-Line Skating really helped, except for the fact I couldn’t stop. I ran into the wall several times because of it. Then, we went to the mall. These two guys in my class decided to annoy the random people that worked there by asking for Leprechaun Repellent. It’s a long story… Don’t ask.

Geography Bee: I got second, because I didn’t know the Capital of Mexico. I was just happy I stayed in there for that long.

Attempting to Act out A Christmas Carol: Some people in my class are quite the actors, and I guess I’m pretty good myself, Though I couldn’t say this one line without dying laughing. I finally got it… After five minutes.

My Class Christmas Party: We all got a sugar high, and played a bunch of fun games. Hyperly. Who knew that all of my classmates knew the words to ‘Sexy and I Know it’? Yeah, I didn’t either.

Christmas: I had a nice time with my family, I enjoyed having actual time to sit and talk to people.

That Trip to my Aunt’s House: We went shopping one day, and I got cowboy boots. Basically, all I did was watch the Avatar: The Last Airbender marathon while using their really fast WiFi. Until, I was forced to go to Zumba dance class with my aunt and sister. Then I was supreme goddess of the water cooler, and user of the HD camera the iPod conveniently provides.

Today: Nothing… Just sitting here awaiting 2012. The year when the world won’t end. I’m graduating the 8th Grade, thank you very much. |Theclassof2013|

WOOOT! ^^

Everyone have an AWESOME (And safe!) New Year!! I probably won’t be able to get on tonight, so here’s my present to you all!!

O.K., it stinks ^^” I’m sorry, guys! I’ll upload the full picture later!

Remember to:

And enjoy the last day of 2011!!!! ^^

I had a very productive day!

I worked on my Rapunzel Dress! OMT I AM SO EXCITEEEEED! I have the under-dress pretty much done (except for the sleeves, and I still have to sew it together)!

Also, I have a new, awesome fandom-based shirt! (Yep, ANOTHER one!) (Well, I think it’s awesome ^^”)

TA-DAAA!:

It got a little messed up because there was something melted on the iron ^^”

Anyway, I think I’ll split the beings into groups of six or so, just so it’s more manageable to draw them all ^^

If you have any requests for a group or time period you would like to be in, please let me know! ^^ I would hate to exclude someone from their favorite time period! TT_TT

GROUP 1:

Camile
Fern/Ivy
Jedi Master Grant
Machine Lord
Mad Hatter
Magesto

GROUP 2:

Nireth
Pandora
Phoenix Girl
Pinkie Pie
Radiance
Raven Avelina

GROUP 3:

RC and Cobalt
Rue/SM
Septimus
Shaded Lady
Thunder Ninja/Miranda
Tridah/Grea
Vampire Lord

I’m probably going to start off with Group 1 in present day, then work backwards from there!

If you have any comments or questions, please let me know! ^^

Thanks for all your help, guys! ^^

This is a new story I’m working on. I know, I had a story already, but I kinda got bored with it. Well, here it goes…

…

Cynthia tapped her pen on the lamp-lit desk. It was dim, which made it almost impossible to see, with the only other light source being the moonlight. She looked around for a tab bit. “I need inspiration,” she thought, “if I want to win this contest.”

She got up and looked in the mirror. Staring back at her is a strawberry-blond haired girl with sky-blue eyes. She was a little thin, but she also was a little short, 5’1″ to be exact. Sighing at herself, Cynthia sat back in her chair. It was soft, as if a blanket had covered it, which hadn’t happened at all.

She wrote down the following:

Who I Am- Lyrics and Music by Cynthia Venlook

key- E minor

How am I awakened because of you?

Thinking you really know me?

How could you definately know me…

if you don’t know who I’m destined to be?

Do you know me for who I am?

Do you even care?

If you see me you’ll understand.

If you’d even dare to care at all.

You see me in the mirror

I don’t see what you see

I’m done with playing pretend

I’ll follow who I’m destined to be

Be careful what you wish for they would say

I wish and wish every day

At least as I’m still alive

In every single way

You don’t know me for who I am,

I’m not sure if you even care

When you saw me, you understand

That I’m not even close to who I say I am…

You wouldn’t give a care

If you even wanted to

I know that is true.

Take my hand

Please understand who I really am

Do you know me for who I am?

Do you even care?

If you see me you’ll understand.

If you’d even dare to care at all.

Cynthia stopped writing. She planted her face against her desk. “It’s too short!” Cynthia sighed.

“Short but sweet…” Cynthia imagined a voice say. It was a soft, sweet voice that she had thought about, every single day, after the accident that changed her life.

“Mom, I don’t think this song is going to cut it,” Cynthia thought, in response to what her mother would’ve said.

“If I were a judge, I would think of this as a winner. Look, Cynthia, even if you don’t win, you’re always a winner to me…”

Cynthia stopped short. Although she had imagined the voice, it felt as it it was real, that her mother was right next to her, smiling as she wrote. A tear had slowly shed from her cheek. The warmth of her mother’s touch was long missed.

Sometimes, Cynthia felt like her mother was the only one who really truely cared about her.

With this thought, she felt her eyes wear out and ended up sleeping right there on her desk.

“Cynthia!”

Cynthia groaned at this yelling.

“Cynthia!”

“Not now, Jenna! I’m trying to slee-”

“But you’re late for school!” Jenna, Cynthia’s little sister, continued.

With that, she jumped up. She stared at the alarm clock, which read 7:03.

“Aw, shoot!” Cynthia shouted, jumping up. She didn’t change out of her clothes, but Cynthia didn’t care at the moment. She dashed down the stairs and took a single strawberry, counting it as “breakfast”. Panting, she continued rushing to get ready. At one point, she almost forgot her writing lyrics. The entries were due at the end of the week, and today was Wednesday. She dashed out the door when a stiff hand slipped her paper right out of her hands. It was Trudy Netherwater, Cynthia’s stepmother.

“Are you thinking of entering this foolish contest?” Netherwater asked. Cynthia didn’t know how to respond. “I’ll take that as a yes…” Netherwater continued, tearing the pieces of paper until they were about one inch pieces.

She watched in aghast as the pieces of paper fluttered as they flew from Netherwater’s hands. After she was all done, Netherwater remarked, “There is no point in entering these contests, understand, Cynthia? There is barely any chance that it could be a winner.

Once again, Cynthia thought, “Only my mother had really cared about me.”

Cynthia’s father wasn’t all bad, but Cynthia just hated him for choosing this gaudy, Cinderella-stepmother-like woman, but he failed to see that. She exited the house without looking back. Smiling, she ran not to the school. She ran to a nearby radio station. It was the one that had the contest. Cynthia opened her backpack and took out another piece of paper.

“Good thing I brought a spare sheet,” Cynthia said, smiling. Gently, she folded her entry and placed it in the entries box. Before closing her backpack, she looked at a picture in there that she has kept every single day.

It was a picture of her and her mother. Cynthia was only 5 months old then, still experiencing things for the first time. Most of all, she remembered the words that her mother had always said to her. She would sing to her as a baby, and Cynthia still remembered her sweet sound in the song.

Even After I’m Gone

key- A minor

I will always be here

Even after I’m gone

Right here in your heart

I will always belong

With eyes blue as the sky

And hair blond as the sun

You’re my little angel

Even after I’m gone.

Nothing in the world can seperate us

Nothing even after I’m gone

Take care my little one, I’ll be here while I can

In your heart is where I belong

Don’t cry my little one

I’m here for now

I will alway look to you

I strongly vow

To be here with you

And be where we belong

Cause remember I’ll still be here

Even after I’m gone

Now that Cynthia thought about it, the song was kind of depressing, especially now, every time she would think of her mother, she thought of this song, and reminded her that she’s still in her heart even after she’s gone.

Confident, she thought to herself that she will win, no matter what people tell her. She gently placed the picture back in the backpack and ran straight to school.

I don’t know if I should finish this or not ~

She asked me to dance, exposing her wrist bent over so I could take her hand and spin her across the dancefloor. It was definitely dark, like a disco. I felt as if everyone was looking at us as if they were waiting for this to happen. Blushing, I took her palm and twirled her. As she was finished, I placed my hand on her waist and kissed her.

I woke up from some recurring dream I had, sometime in early December. It’s about one of my closest friends Janani, but I don’t like her like that and I never did before – at least I don’t think I do. I thought hard about why these images would be appearing in my unconscious mind. My cat, Dizz, taunts me about it. Yeah, a talking cat, but I’m not focusing on that hocus pocus. There I fell back in my unmade bed and just thought to myself.

(more…)

Since I wrote Chapter 7 while I was half asleep, I rewrote it and added some other stuff I forgot the first time around.

Previous:
“You’re saying this girl is my sister?” The boy who was apparently Emrys asked, “As long as she isn’t anything like Shaelynn…”

The man wrapped his arms around me, “Welcome home, Athena.”

Chapter 7: Hair Problems.

Gasps and murmurs were exchanged between the students. The Headmistress looked even more furious than she did earlier. She looked me up and down like I was something the cat had hacked up, and she was the one being forced to clean it.

“They get worse and worse,” She muttered, “This one doesn’t know how to use a hairbrush.”

I blushed. I hadn’t brushed my hair since yesterday, that, and what the helmet from Driver’s Ed did to it made it look terrible.

“Everyone’s a hair critic.” I mumbled, pulling a hair tie off my wrist and putting my hair up.

“Heads up, Girl!” My Driver’s Ed teacher shouted, throwing something to me. It was my chariot racing helmet.

“Sasha!” Hayden said, giving me a spear, “I think this is yours.”

Putting my helmet on and holding Hayden’s spear, I realized: I was the girl from the sketch. For some reason, all of this felt like I’d experienced it before, only somewhere else.

Cassandra ran into the room, ruining my few seconds of glory. “Sasha is, in fact the last of the twelve, and part of the lost prophecy. The bad part about this situation, is that the prophecy is incomplete. Who knows what she’ll have to go through?”

“Who says we should believe you?” Someone shouted, “You’ve been wrong several times before.”

“No I haven’t!” Cassandra shouted defensively, “No one believes me, that’s all. If you want proof, read the scroll yourself.”

‘This is bad,’ I thought, ‘Really bad.’

I hoped a certain reincarnation was going to tell me I was going to be alright, but she stayed silent.

“Let’s not worry about that, now,” Cassandra said, cheerily, “Back to your dorms!”

All the students left the Cafeteria, either returing to their dorms, or going to the library, gym, or pool. Basically anywhere they felt like as long as they were back by the nine o’ clock curfew.
It was pretty much a loss, considering it was already eight thirty.

I sighed, walking out of the Cafeteria and to my dorm.

Lineee Breakkkk…. [Insert elevator music here]

Opening the door to my dorm, I walked in and immeadiately changed out of my uniform.

Neglecting my hair, mainly because I lost my hairbrush, I climbed into bed. I didn’t care how early it was, I closed my eyes and welcomed sleep.

[Sasha's Second Dream.]

I woke up in the same ancient castle as before. Nothing different, except for the time of day.

Looking in the same mirror, I was the same woman I was last time; Who, I can see, has still not learned how to brush her hair. This didn’t scare me as much as last time, knowing it was all a dream and I’d wake up soon.

I wandered into the same room, and I found the same people, along with some unfamiliar faces.

I wanted to run to the Library, because I was so overwhelmed by people; But I was stopped by Aphrodite and a hairbrush.

She grabbed my arm and tried dragging away, but I pulled away.

“The hairbrush won’t kill you,” Aphrodite explained, “It’ll help your… Hair- Uh- situation.”

“I don’t need your help,” I said, releasing myself from her tight grip, “Let alone want it.”

“Just look at your hair though,” Aphrodite complained, picking up a piece of my hair, “It’s terrible. Gross, Split ends!”

“I guess my hair could use brushing,” I mumbled, “And whatever you have to do to fix what you call ‘split ends’.”

“Yay!” Aphrodite squealed, grabbing my arm, “Come with me.”

~Line Break~

“Ouch,” I complained as the brush went through my hair, “What are you doing to me?”

“Brushing your hair!” Aphrodite said, in an obvious tone, “You practically begged me to do it.”

“Just let me cut it short…”

This earned me a look of pure terror.

“Cut it short?! But it’s long and pretty, and it actually makes you look like a woman!”

The Sasha part of me wanted to leave at this point, but the other part stayed. She must have a higher tolerance level for people like Aphrodite.

“Be right back!” Aphrodite called, cheerily skipping out the door.

Now. Now was my time to escape. Run, Girl, Run!

I didn’t run anywhere. I stayed right where I was, letting Aphrodite return with scissors.

I was terrified. What was this lady going to do to my hair?

After a few minutes of cutting, a mirror was shoved in my face, showing me the outcome.

Shiny, combed hair, a few inches shorter, that fell past my shoulders.

I touched a piece of my hair to make sure it was really mine. Sure enough, it was.

“Pretty, huh? Now, come on, you’re wanted for something important.”

[End of Chapter 7]
So, Chapter 8 is still part of Sasha’s dream, and you’ll figure out what this ‘Sonething Important’ is. Which, I’m still trying to remember…

OMZ… So my dad thinks I’m trying to rebel against him because I look like this right now:

Oh, so now it’s illegal to wear red an black? It’s not even that much black! Just a bit of tye die!
By the way, if this post is messed up, it’s because I’m using this app, and it has messed stuff up for me before, so just sayin’!
I don’t think it helps that I have a red shield case for my iPod. But I like red just as much as I like every color! I only got red because it was the only color this case came in. Besides, this case is soft.
I saw some cool jewel studded cases yesterday that came with jewel earphones that cost LESS than this case, but give me something soft enough to rub against my cheek, and I’m a goner. You just can’t rub a jewel studded case against your cheek. I look hideous. Deal with it. By the way, my hair is dropping wet, so that’s why it looks so… Cheap.
Anyway, yea. That’s it.

But I chose not to. First of all, remember that video that I showed you with Nyan Cat and this random Lady Nyan Cat falling in love? Well, the same creator made a new video with a battle between Nyan Cat and Tac Nayn!

(Caution: contains some mild language and some animated blood)

Well, it did show a warning at the beginning of the video anyways.

Secondly, there’s an animated movie that really amuses me a little bit, although it is not released yet.

Wanna know why this amuses me?

• This is PIXAR’s first female main protagonist
• She’s an ARCHER!
• The movie’s called BRAVE (originally The Bear and the Bow)
• She’s rebellious about the rule that females can’t shoot any arrows.
• She seems epic.

Here’s the trailer:

I just cannot wait!

Well, BT out from the multitopicness of it all. (although it was just 2)

Unfortunately due to my obvious absences, I have missed a lot. And you guys know that I love this community. I’m blessed to have this new laptop in my hands for Christmas, and I look forward to much more memories with you all. :3
…
Yay.

I’m about to go on a totally irresponsible music binge.

Wait, why am I warning you guys, I should be warning my family! I always make them listen to all my random music ^^” Unless… oh, gosh, I hope future me isn’t going to bug you endlessly about my “ZOMGS NEW FAVRITST SONG EVR!”

Oops, it looks like my brain isn’t quite fixed yet! ^^”

OOOH! I remembered what the point of this post was!

!!!!!!!!!!! What. Nireth, why would you put those there!?

For some reason, I thought it would be fun to dress the BOTB characters up in clothes from different time periods!

Haha, wow, that’s a silly idea–NO WONDER MY BRAIN WASN’T FIXED! It was broken in the first place! Thus, what I considered broken was just even MORE broken, and fixed was just less broken!

Honestly, this stuff actually makes sense to me. But then I write it down and it’s like, “UGGH. That looks so ridiculous!”

OMT what is going on? I’m so weird today! ^^”

THE NIRETH BOT IS MALFUNCTIONING OOOHHH NOOOOO!

EVERYONE RUN!

Hehe, that was fun! ^^

But, really, I do have to get serious now.

Whew! That was really close! TT_TT

Anyway, I was just making sure I remembered everyone’s characters! ^^ If your character isn’t on the list, PLEASE let me know! I don’t want to leave anyone out!

So far, I know of:

Raven Avelina
Machine Lord
Jedi Master Grant
Pandora
Thunder Ninja/Miranda
Shaded Lady
Phoenix Girl
RC and Cobalt
Fern/Ivy
Camile
Radiance
Vampire Lord
Pinkie Pie (OOOH, this’ll be fun! ^^)
Mad Hatter
Septimus
Nireth
Tridah/Grea
Magesto

If you’ve made any changes to your characters (New identities, old identities going away, etc.) please let me know! ^^ I’ll probably break them up into groups, so different groups will get different time periods (Unless I have a lot of time, then I’ll draw them ALL for ALL time periods! MUAHAHAH! But knowing how busy/lazy I am, that’s probably not going to be the case ^^”).

Um… so yeah!

Wait–did you guys hear something?

Hmm, funny. Must’ve just been the wind!

So, this week has been a huge mess. I haven’t gotten much sleep and my brain is so fried, I can’t even remember what I did 5 minutes ago.

This is why I’m asking for your help…

I’ve been digging and digging through my mind trying to find this ‘Something Important’ that Sasha/Athena is being called to.

I know it has something to do with Chapter 6: The Lost Goddess Returns, though in Sasha’s dream, she isn’t quite lost, and she been in this ‘ancient castle’ for very long.

And the end of chapter Chapter 7:

“Be right back!” Aphrodite called, cheerily.

“Pretty, huh? Now, come on, you’re wanted for something important.”

I’ll take any idea you have into consideration. And it’s gotta be important. Super important.

I leave for my aunt’s house tomorrow, but I’ll still comment while I’m there; and I’ll look at any suggestion you might have.
Though, I probably won’t reply right away on the 27th, because it’s mainly a traveling day.

~Thanks, you guys have been a huge help with all your nice comments, submitting characters, and helping me out when it’s needed.
I really, really appreciate it.~

Heyy, sorry for no post yesterday! I was too busy playing with my Christmas gifts, including my lovely new hp laptop named Simon. He’s simply perfect and works soooo much better than my old one, and I love him so much and he’ssoshinyomgomgom

Anyway…I got special things, mostly involving Nightmare Before Christmas. And I’ll tell you that I freakin’ LOVE that movie. I love Jack, and I love Sally, and I love Nightmare Revisited, and I love all the original songs too, and…AND THE OPENING SONG IS PERFECT. The original is good, Panic! At the Disco’s is great, and Marilyn Manson’s the best.

Oh and if you’re on a Halloween high and you want to go “What the heck is this?” Google Image search Marilyn Manson. It’s like the best thing.

Anyway, I got a Nightmare Before Christmas cosmetics bag, and Nightmare Before Christmas fingerless gloves that have a glow in the dark Jack’s face on them, and the single most amazing hat, and I’d upload it to the post but when I preview it it shall not show up.

But anyway, I also got like a MEGA sketching set, and Night at the Museum DVD (Yes, I understand it’s like 32543635675473643543years old, I love it anyway. OKAY), annnnd a Poptropica: The Offical Guide. It’s like the bestest thing ever.

Happy Holidays, every one!

PS: If you have problems like me (which mean they’re GOOD) and you DO decide to google MArilyn Manson, please keep in mind some of those pictures can scar your childhood. They’ve gotten me labeled as that weird goth girl in the corner for googling his name in the computer lab and leaving it up. Of course they’re right, but…. *Sigh* Let’s just say that Marilyn’s an original. Don’t get me wrong though. I love him. It’s just…you may not.

Now that it’s Christmas, I can’t wait for New Year’s when Series 2 comes out and I can watch Sherlock punch John and then John punch Sherlock!

Season’s Greetings! ^^

~Rain

Where we can edit it or comment with what we got for the holidays!

I can honestly say I made out like a bandit this year.

I have so much candy. I also got lots of movies! The A-Team, X-Men: First Class, Stardust, Rango, Rio, Kung Fu Panda 2 (well I got it for my aunt and she wants to leave it with us….), Tron: Legacy, and TANGLED!!!!!! Oh and Rodrick Rules! I was so excited!

I also got the My Chemical Romance shirt I wanted! But honestly, I was not expecting an iPhone 4. It’s a hand me down, since my dad got the iPhone 4S, but hand me downs are nice in our family….

I think I have enough candy to last a week or 2. My friend Karlly thinks it will last me 2 days. I’m going to be so wired.

Happy Holidays!

Yours truly,

BatCat

Random title. Anyway, um, I failed. D: I got an iPod Touch, but not an iPad 2. D: but in a way, I like the new iPod because I can hide it in class easier. What am I gonna do with my old iPod touch though? Hmm.
I think I’m gonna teach my mom how to work with an old iPod. My mom’s knowledge about technology is, uh, severely limited. Sad thing is, my dad’s knowledge is even lesser than my mom’s. That’s probably why he hasn’t figured out how the people search works. Haha!

Hey guys, merry Christmas! Now if you’ll excuse me, i have to watch younger cousins while I celebrate at home.
Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays to all of you, I hope this has been a really fun and nice year for everyone, because it was for me.

I’m spending my Christmas at the beach in Florida, which is really different for me because I never go to the beach where it’s warm and all that on Christmas, but it’ll be really fun! ^-^

I’ve been gone for so long because I’ve been getting pretty busy. I got a tablet for my birthday which was back in November, but then my computer got a virus on it. It wasn’t fixed until a few days ago and I lost EVERYTHING on my computer. So that’s my excuse for being gone, but I’ll get busy right after New Years commenting and posting and whatnot : )

Wish you all a Merry Christmas, Kwanza, Hannukah, National Pumpkin Pie day (it’s real), and anything you celebrate around this time of year! Happy Holidays!

Now I must go for my dad is having trouble finding the ‘send’ button on his email. *facepalm*
