Yes, I’m starting ‘Phoenix’s Adventures’ again. ^^ This week at my school are exams and stuff. After that, everyone basically acts like school’s over with, and that’s what it feels like, and every one knows it. So I think this time I may actually carry through with the story.
I loved writing the adventures, and reading everyone’s adventures. Where did those days go?
I’m changing Phoenix a lot. She’s become more of an average random character than a real person. Physically, I’ve decided that she will be very small, but lithe and lean (the better for flight). I’m taking away her bangs because a lot of the characters have bangs, I’ve noticed in the art trade. Her hair is no longer perfectly straight. Now, more realistically, it’s windswept. I’m changing her dress; it’s going to be more of a midievil-modern cross dress, her being immortal and all. I’m giving her a scarf, and a small, thin pair of aviator’s goggles ( I hate bulkiness), something I noticed in Nireth’s picture. I’ll tweak her personality a lot (she can never have enough faults) and basically making her more realistic and un-Mary Sue. Look out for a lot of pictures; art’s is slowly taking over my life again now that school’s gone.
That’s basically it; any of you guys change your character’s at all? I’d love to know! ^^
Any of you remember Jes? Well I hope you do because she’s one of my best friends on this thing we call the internet (Which is made of cats by the way).
Here’s a message from her!
–
Hmm. Howdy.
What an intro, am I right?
Now, you may be asking yourselves, who is this person? And why do they have the audacity to make someone post something for them when they aren’t from here in the first place?
Ah, well. How do I put this?
Any of you oldies (Yes, you guys. The ones who have been around since before even the ancient drama started, many a time ago.) remember that strange dork who joined this blog on August 20th, 2009? Okay, that’s kind vague. You remember that English girl (But, as you guys may call it: British girl.) that enjoyed sour gummy worms, a bit too much? The girl with the dorky brother? How about the girl the girl who’s name starts with a J and ends in an es.
Remember me? J
It has been so long since I have even thought to revisit this blog. But, on a spur of the moment decision (And while waiting for CW to stop ignoring me on Gmail.) I decided it couldn’t hurt to take a look.
I then spent about a half hour going through old posts and reminiscing, practically tearing up.
I miss the crazy chats we all had. (Especially the crazy adventures Zuzu and I used to go on.)
I miss all of the stories that will forever go unfinished.
I miss the pep talks and bonding we all did.
I miss you guys.
But, of course, I myself am very different from the little 12-13 year old I was.
I am now sixteen. I have a car and a permit. I have realized just how terrifying driving on a busy road can be. (Believe me. It’s bad.) My tastes have changed a lot since I was here. I’m now within the Durarara fandom. (The most strangest of the fandoms, let me tell you.) I’m also kind of into Sherlock. (Not as great as the Victorian era version, though.) I have become engrossed in Tumblr. My old obsession with Batman as a kid, has resurfaced. I’m also sophomore in high school, which is just about as terrifying as driving. I have begun to take writing more seriously. And now I’m hoping to make a career out of it. I’m going to be working soon, hopefully at this frozen yogurt place I enjoy. And then, I’ll be looking into different colleges I’d like to attend. And hopefully it will be a good one where I can major in Criminal Psychology, and minor in Literature, like I would appreciate doing.
A lot has changed with me. A lot. XD
I remember back when I first joined. I joined because I wanted friends, whom I felt like I related to. I could never keep up a conversation with the kids in school, because we didn’t have the same interests. Here, we all did.
But, as years go by, I finally found some really good friends. Some who I can talk to for hours about unimportant things.
Yet, I can never forget this blog.
I’d like to thank every one of you who befriended me in that time. You guys helped me get through some tough stuff. And until the day I die, I will never forget you guys.
So, please, don’t forget me.
Okay?

Back to me (BatCat/CW/whatever), for those who are to lazy, and didn’t read, she says hi! And she got a car!
And one part of that is inaccurate, I’M THE ONE WHO WAITS FOR HER ON GMAIL.
Anyways. She’ll be watching the comments I presume.
I had another story idea, called Penny For Your Fortune! It’s where a girl named Penny somehow sees that she will die in one year. So she decides to embrace life and her family and all the opportunities life presents. She counts down the days she has left every morning and does the most outrageous and daring things, because it’s now or never. And then on the day that Penny is meant to die, the boyfriend she got during her now-or-never period saves her. Fate said she must die on that day, but fate did not mean for Penny to know this information. Therefore, she changed fate by seeing what her fate would be. If that makes sense. However, I have no plot, so I probably won’t write it. Feel free to use the idea. Lol.
But anyway, I already have a story to write. I’ve finally started the story for my own Writing Challenge, called Alison’s Story, but maybe it should be called Alison and Laurence’s story, I don’t know. It’s about two orphaned siblings who live with their reluctant-to-take-care-of-the-siblings aunt and uncle, and cousin, Carson. And I don’t know what happens next. Because I cannot create a plot to save my life (like Foxface can’t follow one xD).
Hi, guys! So, I decided to release the pictures of Nireth, Phoenix, Radiance, RC, and Tridah, since I have all the submissions of these. I’l release the rest after I get that Fern picture from Nireth. I apologize for my horrible drawings and quality. Note that BatCat made a deal to get you your picture individually. I also apologize for the random sizes. Anyway, without further ado…
*NIRETH PLEASE SEND ME YOUR DRAWING OF FERN KOA ASAP!* Like, today, if you can, please!
Oh, I’m such a lame freak.
Thursday and Friday were really awesome days, until Friday after school.
I can’t exactly remember why Thursday was awesome. But I do remember getting like two notes to go down to the principal’s office on Thursday, but none of the reasons were bad…
But, well, yesterday I went to this school breakfast thingy and they had really good vanilla-chocolatey muffins. And they had WHITE CHOCOLATE on the bread! I need to find out where they got it. It was epic. But they didn’t have those tiny cinnamon roll thingies like the other time. D:
Then, in second period, when my English teacher was checking my paragraphs on electroshock therapy, she said “You’re awesome, girl!” This made me really happy, because I didn’t think she likes me after that horrible handwriting incident. But maybe she does like me now!
And, well, in third period, math, nothing good happened, really. I mean, it’s math. And nothing good happened in Health either.
But, during lunch, I found I got a Shadow Ridge High School shirt! Even if I won’t ever wear it, it’s still cool that I won it! And then, after that, I ditched my movie/party thingy, and went to fifth period. I mean, could they blame me for wanting to go to Science? The night before, I had to design a container that would prevent an egg from breaking after being dropped from the roof. She said dropped, not thrown, but my egg was prepared! I named my egg Eggie Boo, and then the teacher was throwing the eggs stinking hard. When she yelled my name, I realized I was shaking in anticipation. I yelled ”Here I am!” so all the eighth grade classes knew who I was. Anyway, she threw my darling Eggie Boo, and I was pretty much dying. When Eggie Boo landed, the container fell apart, and the bubble wrap opened up, and there, in the middle, was lying Eggie Boo perfectly unharmed.
I screamed “EGGIE BOO’S ALIVE!” and one of the teachers came to calm me down. But I would not calm down. Eggie Boo had survived. Anyway, I avoided the teacher, and took off running, and all the kids parted as if they knew my thinking was not straight. I was charging at full speed until i crashed into that substitute teacher.
I crashed into her hard. I’m shocked Eggie Boo didn’t break! But, well, after I helped her up and screamed that Eggie Boo was alive a few more times, my student teacher for Science told me I really needed to calm down. I did, kinda. So she took a picture of me and Eggie Boo! But I didn’t wanna stick around to stares after losing my cool, so I went to the stupid movie. Well, I got to eat a lot of chocolate, and I found the lighting wasn’t too bad.
But then after school, I had to interact with humans, so that ruined my day.
I like writing. When I feel like writing. But when they force me to write, I don’t want to write! I mean, I don’t know, I’ve always been kind of… I guess, proud? Like, I never apologize to anyone. ‘Cause I’m too proud. And I also feel like I need to do the opposite of what people tell me to do just to make them mad. It’s odd, I know I shouldn’t do it, but since my temper is so quick… xD
Anyway, those stupid CRTs! They took forever! Those constructed responses! The first day of testing, my responses were full paged, written neatly, tiny, with textual evidence, and everything to guarantee me a three on each one. By the middle day, each response was written facing different directions. That’s cause I alternated hands. I would write one sentence using my left hand, then another sentence using my right hand. So naturally, one sentence was leaning to the right, and the next to the left. Who cares, though?
And by the last day, my constructed responses were three lines long. I know, I screwed it up, it’s all my fault, and if I could, I would go and fix my answers, but they were really getting to me. Hopefully the ones on the first days will be good enough to do something about the last ones.
Today me and Cheyenne had a very heated conversation about Christine. Cheyenne said Christine was awesome and really pretty. I agree; she is amazingly pretty, and I wish I looked like her. BUT, I did make it clear that the number of time she faints is unacceptable. Cheyenne got a bit worried when I said “I kill Daae.” She started on about how I can’t kill a fictional character, and I felt like ripping her little soprano throat out.
I’m such a good friend.
But Tiff agreed with me. She also thought that once in Phantom, and once in Love Never Dies, over a span of eleven years, is unacceptable. Cheyenne said it was fine, but I did tell her that she fainted twice more in the book. She then decided to take the book out of my hands, because she thought I would end up doing something I’d regret later. I admit that sometimes when I’m mad, I don’t have full control of my actions, but she was really unwise to do that. I am going to end up biting her again.
I have to watch Happy Feet tomorrow. I think I’m ditching that in-school-party though, because in a dark place, I can’t read. At least in Geography, I can read my stupid Zeusdarn book. I’ll go to the start, to get all the candy, but then I’m going straight back to Geography. Oooh! Idea! No one will know if I hide in the bathroom… I’ll be at the “party”… Oh, yes! There, I can hide, and write, and dream, and mentally throw darts at Cuh-rrristine!
I love how Carlotta says Christine. It’s like “Cuh-rrrrristine!” Haha, I’m gonna go watch that movie again. I always skip over Music of the Night though, ’cause that’s where Christine faints, and I really don’t like to get in a bad mood over nothing.
Even though I can’t follow a plot to save my life, I have much better writing skills than I did last year . Grammar and the use of more descriptive words improved a lot and I have a better vocabulary. And I know what paragraphing is, which makes this story easier to read. Check out the samples. The storyis part of Camile’s Story.
Last Year: I was sitting in my room with Cat. Well,our room. Cat and I share a room now. We were really bored,and were looking for something to do. “Hey,you wanna go downstairs?” Cat asked walking toward the door. “Sure” I said following her.After we got downstairs,I saw Bast eating Cookeh’s Kitten Chow. ”Bast what are you-” I began “Hey,that’s Cookeh’s!” ”Sorry” Bast said with her mouth full of Kitten food. Wow,My life is weirder than I thought. “Mom!” Cat said “That’s so embarassing!” ”Okay Bast,”I said “we’ll have fish tonight. IF you stay away from Cookeh’s food.” Bast’s eyes lit up “Deal!” She said walking away from the food bowl.
“Uh,Camile”Cat said “maybe we should go back upstairs.” “But,you just came from upstairs!” Bast said
“Uh,”I said thinking up a quick lie “we’re gonna do our hair” “Okay,” Bast said “have fun!”
We quickly walked up the stairs and shut the door.
This Year[Same Scenario]:
Cat and I were sitting in our room, and were looking for something to cure our boredom.
“Hey, you wanna go downstairs and see if our parents need help with anything?” Cat asked, getting up off the floor, and headed toward the door.
“Sure, Sounds great.” I said following behind her.
After we got downstairs, I saw Bastet eating Cookeh’s Cat food.
“Bastet, What are you-” I began , “Ew, Gross; That’s Cookeh’s!”
“Sorry” Bastet said with her mouth full of Cat food.
‘Wow,’ I thought, ‘My life just keeps getting weirder…’
“Mom!” Cat whined, noticing what Bastet was doing,”That’s so embarrassing!”
“Okay Bastet,”I said “If you stay away from Cookeh’s food; we’ll have fish for dinner tonight.”
“Deal!” Bastet exclaimed, eyes lighting up with excitement. She backed away from the food bowl.
“Hey Camile,”Cat said “Can we go back upstairs?”
“But you just came from there…” Bastet pointed out.
“We were going to Uh, Do our hair,” I said, coming up with a quick lie.
“Just remember to come down for dinner, Okay?” Dad said from his spot in the kitchen.
We ran up the stairs and shut the door to my room behind us.
He’s not NEARLY as good looking as the REAL Flynn!!
Except when he does this:
I think he’s pretty handsome when he does that.
ANYWAY, before I get COMPLETELY off topic–uh, not that I had a topic ^^”–BUT NO I shall not let myself stray!… from, uh… yeah.
I DO have a picture for Fern/Ivy!! It is not QUITE finished, but it is getting there!! (And my pen may or may not have exploded a little bit on it ^^”)
Also, I got the movie Lilo and Stitch (which was banned in our house for quite some time because a certain hyperactive child with a penchant for obsessive behavior would often times act like Stitch ^^”) and oh my gosh.
SO MANY FEELINGS TT_TT/^^
I forgot how SAD that movie was!! The scene where Nani is holding Lilo in the hammock after Mr. Bubbles says Nani can’t keep her–oh my Thor!! TT_TT
OH YES AND THE NEW NIGHTWISH ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greetings, my fellow peers. Yet again I find myself trapped in the unbreakable ropes that bind me in a dark, inescapable world of procrastination. Submerged within its grey, salty sea, my vision just manages to see a pile of homework sitting placidly upon my desk of many memories, half a metre away from where I sit, yet an invisible barrier separates the two of us. I believe my homework is composed of several To Kill a Mockingbird comprehension questions, pages of scientific revision and a poorly done climate graph which Father has rather impolitely asked me to restart. The competition of my classmates also awaits at a once-interesting site called Language Perfect. I know such things to be of the utmost importance, as Ravenclaw is the house that treasures knowledge and education further than the others, but I know these ropes shan’t let go until the dawn of the day in which my homework will be due. Luckily, I had managed to complete my views on To Kill a Mockingbird and French comparisons between two climates before something unexpectedly forced my head into the water and now I see nothing but the grey of the water and my homework. If only I could bring myself to get out of the water, then I could complete my homework and be free of worries.
Andromeda/Perseus is one of my favorite myths so I took the liberty of writing it up from my essay.
Andromeda was the daughter of King Cepheus and Cassiopeia. Her mother bragged that Andromeda was more beautiful than the Nernaids (sea nymphs) so the Nernaids complained to Poseidon. Poseidon sent the sea monster, Cetus to destroy the lands of Ethiopia. as a punishment to Cassiopeia’s arrogance. The King sought out advice on how to keep his land from being destroyed, the Oracle said the only way was to sacrifice his daughter to Cetus. Andromeda was chained to a rock and left to be eaten by Cetus. Luckily, Perseus came to save her and he came on the Pegasus. He killed Cetus by turning him to stone with Medusa’s head and asked for Andromeda for her hand in marriage. At the wedding Andromeda’s uncle, Phineus which she had promised to marry, came to claim her. But Perseus turned him to stone with Medusa’s head. They had six sons and a daughter. After, her death she was placed in the sky by Athena.

I’d appreciate if you edited this post/commented with your ideas!
PS: I’m slowly working on my stories.. Ever so slowly…
Oh! And I have this affliction that causes me to eat when I can’t sleep.
I’m a total slacker. Everyone here has something awesome to show everyone and I just quit Reincarnation. Which(Due to browsing Fanfiction and DeviantArt) had an ovedone plot anyway.
I thought of sharing my favorite myths with you. (They already have a plot, It’s all good.)
But I can’t think of one to share right now.
Your mission to help me not become such a slacker:
Tell me yourfavorite myth. It can be any type of Mythology, preferably Greek/Egyptian.
I was twelve when it happened. When I was taken away.
Heavy, pearly clouds hid the sun from the earth. Buckets of rain were being dumped upon the small neighbourhood where I grew up. Violent winds threatened to bend trees too far as they howled in the air. Yet the bad weather didn’t stop me from talking a walk down to the river.
I slipped a coat and boots on, then exited the house. I immediately began to shiver, but I still yearned to be there, for some reason not within the grasp of my mind. Rain splattered the grass and my boots squelched as they stepped on the mud. I stuck my hands in my pockets and moved away from my street, aiming to go in the direction of the woods.
I couldn’t see any cars moving down the street. Within an hour, the trees of the woods were in my view and I slipped into them. The rain was lighter because of the shelter of the trees, but I still felt heavy raindrops on my red, wind-slapped cheeks. A few minutes passed and I found myself beside the rushing, foamy river.
Still shivering, I sat down on the grass and fingered around the grass for stones. My arm threw them into the river against my will. My brain seemed unable to take control of my body. For the last few hours it had been acting of its own accord.
When no more stones were within my reach, I stood up (again, against my will) and started to proceed further into the woods with this strange feeling, as if I needed to hide because I did something one would not approve of. But what was it? My question was answered almost immediately.
“Miss Stone?”
I didn’t turn around.
“What?” I said, but my voice sounded different to my own. It was slightly deeper and lacked any graciousness.
“I have some extremely sad news. Your… your parents were found a few hours ago in their bedroom… dead.”
I turned around to see a balding man with a tummy that threatened to rip out the buttons of its shirt. He had a squashed nose, like a pig, and his neck was hidden under a fat chin. Small beady eyes looked carefully at me. Then they opened in shock. He was frozen to the spot.
Everyone, I am sooo sooo sooo soo soooooo soososososososososososos -breath- ososososososososososososososososososososososos sorry for dying on you like that! D: I am really bad at commitment ^^”
Also, I had some boy drama for the first time in my life!! That was fun. (NOT REALLY–DON’T TRY IT D: )
But the whole point of this post is…
Finally,
Five million years later…
New species populate the earth.
Humans have been long forgotten (but dragons live on).
Well, actually, people still remember vikings. But other than that, humans are forgotten.
The moon has turned into a mushroom.
Trees fart. It’s very foul.
O.K., I made all that up ^^” But what HAS happened is…
THE DRESS.
IS
LE FIN!!!
ALSO: I know I owe you guys a Fern/Ivy!! I will get on that as soon as I can!! I have been soooo busy lately–theater, Chem 2, and procrastination good time management skills have totally consumed my life!! D:
Another also: I will try to get caught up as soon as I can, but right now I’m pretty tired TT_TT I can’t wait to catch up with you guys!! I’ve missed you all!! ^^
I finally submitted my drawing for the BOTB art trade.
And my lateness was due to overwhelming school work mixed in with procrastination during free time.
Well, anyways, while I’m making this post, might as well tell you guys something significant in my life.
Many of you know my obsession with fantasy. Some of you know my fascination with ghosts. But not any one of you know that I will be playing a (friendly) ghost in my school’s spring play that no one has ever heard of.
Yeah, that’s right. I’m playing a ghost. Even more, a librarian.
A librarian that has the power to take kids back in time.
I’ve always wanted to play a ghost… but one thing that I’ve never been…
…is a villain in a play. Oh sure, I’ve acted out some of my own villains’ dialogue. And I also think villainous thoughts when my gym teacher makes me run/jog a mile every “Fitness” Friday (one thing that I am NOT is an athlete). Yet… I’ve never played a villain in a play.
Hmm…
*speaks out loud a line from a villain from one of my stories* Miranda, Miranda, Miranda. Still as curious as ever. Shouldn’t you have known by now? A soul is all we want…
*thinks* No, no, no…
Well, I’m taking drama class in high school. And also, I need to learn to keep a straight face when I see other actors acting scared of my ghost character.
Well, at least with a villain, I can hide my need to laugh with a smirk.
Ah well, for now, I’ll continue playing as good guys…
First, I picture of Katniss that I’m working on for my friend:
Second, My laptop looks just so pretty. Physically, I mean-and the screen. I didn’t know any laptops besides Macs could look pretty. It’s white, with kind of a faint diamond pattern, I guess. :3
And finally, the main reason of this post. I don’t have much music I’m willing to listen too anymore any suggestions? I don’t like a specific genre- for me it’s more of a singular song type thing. For instance, I don’t like Pandora (radio, not the person) because I like the song, but not the songs related to it instrumentally or vocally. I need more music!
Name: Phoenix Hair: Waist length, varying shades of red, bangs brushing eyelashes, straight. Eyes: red..but not like demon red. I mean like, flames red..? Skin: tan-ish
Name: Tridah Hair: Straight, longish, black…She has bangs that sweep to the right side of her face (that means towards the left side of the paper) so they don’t cover her whole face, and two long strands of hair in the front (and a bunch of hair in the back)…Uh..That’s as descriptive as I can get about the hair…. Eyes: Grey, sometimes vacant looking…..Might’ve had color once, but somehow their color dissappeared, leaving it just a bunch of…Grey-ness… Skin: a soft brown, not light like caramel, but not dark like tree bark..Just kind of medium brown, I guess…. No blush. Probably no scars or bruises because she has healing powers and knows how to use illusions…… Additional: No matter how nice, she will not wear blue unless it’s the nebulea cloth she got from Flambe or the mood dress she got from Rad. If it is not the first or the latter, she will not wear blue. However, she wears basically almost any other color clothing..(Once in her old hometown, she wore a dress with rainbows and clouds, but the color blue was replaced with grey, and for the rest of the day everyone thought Tridah was depressed. :truestory: )
Name: Raelynn Carter/ RC Hair: Crimson short hair, always wears a beanie or head band with it. Its short similar to the surfer dude haircut. But a bit longer. Eyes: Amber Skin: Not tan, but not pale. In between.
Name: Fern Koa Hair: Light brown, sometimes with a flower in her hair Eyes: Green Skin: Fair Additional Info: Fern’s pretty much a natural girl. Most of her accessories were from nature and she wears green a lot. She wouldn’t wear red, unless being taken over by Ivy, the dark Rosaoscurian princess who lives in her mind.
Please get them in if you haven’t already! It’s not fair to those who drew it and got it in on time! You have one week. Hurry, please.
And she got a car!
