Anyway, are any of you on there? I know two besides me are. The reason I ask is because for the last month I've been spamming the #sailormoon Trend and we've been getting a lot of hits. I think there is potential for us to grow there and even last week this one girl told me that SMU is the best production she's ever seen. It made me smile. :)

Anyway, here is the SMU Twiiter account and mine:

My holiday was interesting. My cousins came up from Florida, so obviously the cold must have murdered them. Surprisingly we had barely any snow, and when we did it disappeared the next day. VERY unusual for Toronto this time of year. I think now we're getting it though.

We had fun, but not as much as usual 'cause I guess when it's always dark and cold out, you kind of feel dull. We watched a lot of good television, talked, and of course drank on Christmas and New Years. :D Lol. There was also that little in-between drama that tends to happen with big families, but that was also fun.

Aside from THEM, Christmas gifts were nice. It was mostly games I asked for since they cost a lot for me on a regular basis, so I was happy. Also got moneys, and I did the responsible thing and immediately payed off expenses for the domain name and server protection, as well as set aside a little bit for SMU R2s.

And my New Years resolutions... well, to be fit and stay committed to that, get a good job, and do better in school. But mostly the first two since I'm convinced I'll still always want to do better in school even after I'm dead and will not yet achieve it. LOL

Howl quickly prepared a potion for Ms. Habersham for her chronic headaches.
Howl is an English sorcerer who sells potions for a living. Sure he could conjure money but he liked giving back to the community. They accepted him as a sorcerer. For whom he was, most people would try to burn him at the stake. He gave Ms. Habersham her potion and closed shop for the night. He didn't bother putting up his protection spell that night because he didn't feel any strange presence that would cause him to worry. After dinner and a drink down at the near by pub he headed home to get some well needed rest. As he walked he felt a strange presence lurking behind him. He looked back and saw that nothing was there and continued on his way. Suddenly he felt pressure on is neck and teeth sink into his flesh draining his lives blood away. Desperate he starts chanting an ancient holy spell to kill the vampire attacking him but it was too late. He had become a vampire himself. He quickly conjured a stake and a hammer and jabbed it into the vampire’s heart causing him to turn to a pile of dust. Dazed from the blood loss he staggered and fell forward collapsing on in the street. When he awoke the next morning the town’s people were crowded around him whispering in fear. One of the town’s people witnessed the event and now the whole town knows his dark secret. He stood up. "Why are you afraid of me? It's just me Howl." He said quickly as he started toward his pregnant lover, Winifred, but she backed away in fear. The towns’ people started screaming for the town minister to bring holy water to smite him. Running back to his he gathered various important items, books, and talismans he may need. He planned on running away until he could find a way to break his vampirism and return to his lover. He pulled his knapsack over his shoulder and took one last look at the town and started crying before heading out into the rising sun.

Prologue Arashi
2002
A full moon glowed brightly in the star speckled sky illuminating the small town of Asyron. It was on this night a legendary being was born in to the home of two normal humans. She was given the name of Arashi of the tempest. Fearing their daughters life if she was seen by the towns people, they raised her in secret hoping to keep her safe. She was forced to wear a special black cloak to hide her appearance and two large wings that had grown from her back. Years passed by and she grew to become a beautiful angelic girl. One day on the night of another full moon like the day of her birth she disobeyed her parents and left the house. Wandering into the small town she was amazed by the buildings and lights. Then tall man in a black coat with a scarf covering his face grabbed her by the arm. Frightened as she struggled, then the man was looking over at the cliff that was near the village entrance. While he was distracted she was able to escape but had lost her cloak in the process. She ran down the streets catching the eye of everyone in town. Her long silver hair flowed in the wind behind her as her wings unfolded slightly her red cat like eyes scanning the streets for an escape. In a panic her aura flared, engulfing the town. The power was so massive it drove the town’s people mad and they began to lust after her and her amazing power. The man in the black jacket just smirked as he watched the chaos and Arashi run back to her home. She screamed and tears filled her eyes when she saw the state of her home. It was in ruins and her parent lay dead covered in their own blood one of the extra cloaks in their hands. She felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped. It was the town prophet. With a sad look in his eyes as he spoke words that would haunt her for the rest of her life. “O lovely angel, fated with the glow of beauty, thy life shall be filled with tragedy. Death, pain, and sorrow follow your every move. All who you touch are in danger. Your aura drives humanity insane with longing. None shall survive, for you are loveless my dear angel. Destined to be without love till the end of time, beauty will be the end of all.” His voice cracked with sadness as he finished the prophecy. Distraught and fearing for her life she grabbed the cloaks and ran off into the forest wanting to forget this nightmare that had taken over her life.

Prologue Zephyr
2002
Zephyr, a guardian lord under oath by god to protect all those who are innocent, he decides to take a vacation from his daily work and heads out to his cottage by the sea. Radio: "Zephyr, this is Raftina, please respond over." Huh? Now I wonder why Raftina is calling me. This Zephyr, what seems to be the problem, Raftina? Raftina: "I am picking up an unusual aura within Asyron Village, could you go see what seems to be causing it?" I'm in the middle of my vacation time, can't someone else do it? Raftina: "I'm afraid there isn't anyone available at the very moment and you are close to the town anyway. When we get someone we will tell them to head over there as soon as possible, OK?" “Alright Raftina, I'll go and check it out. Great, I was so close to some relaxation and this happens. As he heads toward the village, he had noticed that something was wrong and decided to go and investigate. The entire village was acting strange and he then saw a girl with silver hair and angel like wings. What is this aura I am sensing, could it be coming from the girl? Then he saw an unusual tall man in a black jacket and that he was covering his face up with a scarf. Now what is that guy up to? Then all of a sudden the villagers began to attack each other and then the girl ran away from the villager that was causing the chaos. All of this happens because of one girl? No, I think that stranger has to do with this incident. This is Zephyr, please respond Raftina. This is an emergency. Raftina: "Have you found the cause of the aura?" Yes, a young girl who appears to be an angel of the sort. Raftina: “Huh, an Angel? That's impossible; I thought angles are supposed to be in heaven. Anyway, can you give me a description of the girl?" She appears to be a young female, long silver wavy hair, deep red cat like eyes, pale skin and height is 5'4. Also, there is a strange man with a dark jacket and who appears to be smiling about this. He may be the person who started all of this, however I lost sight of him and is unable to locate him at the moment. Then he sees that the girl who is then confronted by the strange man and then Zephyr takes a sniper rifle and tries to take aim at the man, but the man then notices that he’s being targeted and decides to leave the girl alone. Did he sense me? Hey, where did he go? Looking around to find him and then all of the sudden he sees the girl running towards the forest. He then looks around and then he sees a house that was almost destroyed by the people. I better go and investigate and try to gather information. As he headed towards the village entrance he was stopped by a priest who was walking up to him. Priest: “What business do you have in this village?" “I am Zephyr, lord of the skies and I was summoned here by Lady Raftina, the Goddess of Love to check a disturbance within the village.” Priest: “I see you are a guardian of God and that you came here to find the cause of this disaster I presume?" Can you tell me a bit more of this girl that had fled to the forest and also who was the man in the black coat with a scarf? "Priest: She is a loveless angel because of a curse that was placed upon her when she was born unto this village. Her parents tried to protect her but she disobeyed them just to see the outside and then this happened. As for the man in the black coat, I haven't seen him before. He just appeared a while ago and then disappeared." That is most unfortunate for the poor girl, as for that man I need to find out what he is up to. I think there may be a way to break the curse that’s been placed upon her. Priest: “A way to break the curse, and how it’s possible?" There is a mountain called the Engis Mountains, I've heard that there is a temple that has sacred holy water that is said to cure all. However the door to it is locked until the next 5 years. "Priest: I see, so what about the girl? Aren't you going to do something for her?" Is there anything beyond the forest? "Priest: Yes, there is the ocean and along the shore there should be a small house by it, I think she might be there." I will go see her and give her charm to try and suppress her aura. "Priest: What kind of charm?" It’s a special charm that was created by both the angel and dragon guardians. "Priest: A charm that was created by both an angel and a dragon? Why was it created both a dragon and an angel?" They were once part of the Council of Seven and they specialize in creating items and other things as well. What it does is that once someone wears it, it will mask your aura from being detected by those who are evil and gives them to blend in with the locals. So in other words when I give this to her, her aura will be invisible and she will become just like everyone else. Priest: "Thank you for your kind gesture." Then Zephyr decides to head toward the forest and to where the girl went.

Chapter 1: The Gathering of Past and Present

Prelude Howl
Howl stepped onto the train headed towards the Engis Mountains lugging a large brown case behind him. His shoulder length shaggy brown and blond hair fluttered in a small breeze from one of the open windows and he made his way through the train. There was a magical talisman that might break his spell in these mountains somewhere. He entered an empty compartment and relaxed for the first time in 600 years falling into a deep sleep.

Prelude Arashi
Arashi stepped on to the platform full of bustling people. Pulling her long black cloak around her, she made only her deep red cat like eyes visible. She made her way to the train slowly trying her best to avoid people from running into her. 5 years away from home and she was ready to call it quits on trying to live a normal life. She was headed to the mountains and away from most humans so no one would be harmed because of her and her curse. She stepped on to the train and began making her way to one of the compartments. Her breath hitched slightly as she realized that the train was nearly full of passengers. Flustered at that many people that may be harmed thanks to here she backed into a random compartment and sat down unaware of the other passenger with her. Arashi jumped when she saw the sleeping man. As quietly as she could she sat on the other side where she too fell asleep as the train began moving.

Prelude Zephyr
Sorry, at the moment my character's prelude is being worked on. Check back regularly to see any changes.


Chapter 1: The Gathering of Past and Present - Part 2
As the train moved through the countryside, both Howl and Arashi were sound asleep. Meanwhile Zephyr was in the compartment two doors from where Howl and Arashi were in.

Zephyr: “There that should hold there until either me or Zack returns. I think I’ll go and see who that was in a cloak I saw earlier.” Zephyr left the room and headed towards the room in which the person went inside. He peered through the window that leads into the room and saw two occupants inside. Both appeared to be asleep and one of them was wearing a black cloak. While was wearing a black trench coat and he had a top hat which was covering his face. Zephyr was unable to see either person’s faces and so he went in silently. Hoping that he wouldn’t wake them, he crept quietly into an open spot next to the person wearing the cloak. He sat down and he slowly falls asleep for a few hours only to wake with a dagger against his throat.

Arashi: “Are you or are you not ‘Zephyr of the Dragons’?” she asked.

Zephyr: “Who wants to know who I am and why do you wish to know?”

Arashi: “I do.” She said while leaning closer while at the same time causing the top part of her cloak to slide off. She had a small smirk on her face while staring at Zephyr.

Zephyr: “Yes I’m Zephyr of the Dragons.” He said while his eyes were still closed.

Arashi: “Good.” She said simply as she stepped back and adjusted her cloak. “This will be much easier now. If you will, please follow me.”

Arashi opened the door and gestured him to follow her. Zephyr agrees and goes with her. While he follows her, he thinks to himself…

Zephyr: “I don’t know why, but she seems so familiar to me.” Seeing him follow her, she smirked again.

Arashi: “You obviously don’t know who I am, do you?” She stopped at the end of the aisle, while at the same time checking to see if anyone was there. She laughed while Zephyr trying to hide his confusion.

Arashi: “Well we haven’t seen each other in over 5 years. I didn’t get to thank you properly. You left without saying goodbye.”

Zephyr still looking confused until Arashi pulled a white and gold book and said… Arashi: “Maybe this will help jog your memory.” Zephyr looks at the book and said “This book… Now I remember! Arashi is this how you look like after 5 years?”

Arashi: “Took you long enough.” Then Arashi’s face turned tense while looking at Zephyr.
Arashi: “Do you sense that?”

Zephyr: “Yes, I do sense it now. What is this strange presence I’m feeling? I’m also sensing the lives of the other passengers are fading; they may be in danger if we don’t do something about it. Were you followed before you got on?”

Arashi: “Yes, I’m not sure who or what they want from me but they’ve been on my trail for the past two years now.” Just then a sound what appears to be a helicopter was approaching the train; while at the same time getting closer.

Zephyr: “Huh, do you hear that just now?”

Arashi: “Do you mean the sound of a helicopter just now? Also it sounds like it’s getting a lot closer all of sudden.” Then the helicopter lands on top of the train causing it shake while at the same time causing the other passengers who were asleep to suddenly to awake from the commotion.

Howl: “What’s with this commotion just now and what is this feeling I’m sensing all of a sudden?”

Zephyr: “There’s been a disturbance and it looks like we’re being boarded as well by an unknown party. Do you think you could lend a hand here, Howl?”

Howl: “How do you know who I am?” Zephyr pointed to one of his luggage with the name tag.

Zephyr: “I take it you’re the vampire sorcerer from an unsolved case file about you being attacked by a rouge vampire.”

Arashi: “You’re a vampire? Don’t they drink blood?” Checking to see if she has any bite marks on her, and then Howl said…

Howl: “Don’t worry, I didn’t bite you. Like Zephyr said, I’m a sorcerer. So suppressing my vampire nature shouldn’t be a problem. By the way how did you know I was a vampire and what case file were you talking about?”

Just as Zephyr was going to tell him, the sound of gunshots can be heard coming from the direction of the dining car.

Zephyr: “That sounds like gunshots. It must be Zack engaging the enemy who entered from the top as well breaking through the windows. Let’s go and help him before it’s too late. Arashi, while Howl and I go and help Zack, can you attend to the ones who survived?”

Arashi: “I will try to do my best.”]]> 1489

Chapter 1: The Gathering of Past and Present - Part 2
As the train moved through the countryside, both Howl and Arashi were sound asleep. Meanwhile Zephyr was in the compartment two doors from where Howl and Arashi were in.

Zephyr: “There that should hold there until either me or Zack returns. I think I’ll go and see who that was in a cloak I saw earlier.” Zephyr left the room and headed towards the room in which the person went inside. He peered through the window that leads into the room and saw two occupants inside. Both appeared to be asleep and one of them was wearing a black cloak. While was wearing a black trench coat and he had a top hat which was covering his face. Zephyr was unable to see either person’s faces and so he went in silently. Hoping that he wouldn’t wake them, he crept quietly into an open spot next to the person wearing the cloak. He sat down and he slowly falls asleep for a few hours only to wake with a dagger against his throat.

Arashi: “Are you or are you not ‘Zephyr of the Dragons’?” she asked.

Zephyr: “Who wants to know who I am and why do you wish to know?”

Arashi: “I do.” She said while leaning closer while at the same time causing the top part of her cloak to slide off. She had a small smirk on her face while staring at Zephyr.

Zephyr: “Yes I’m Zephyr of the Dragons.” He said while his eyes were still closed.

Arashi: “Good.” She said simply as she stepped back and adjusted her cloak. “This will be much easier now. If you will, please follow me.”

Arashi opened the door and gestured him to follow her. Zephyr agrees and goes with her. While he follows her, he thinks to himself…

Zephyr: “I don’t know why, but she seems so familiar to me.” Seeing him follow her, she smirked again.

Arashi: “You obviously don’t know who I am, do you?” She stopped at the end of the aisle, while at the same time checking to see if anyone was there. She laughed while Zephyr trying to hide his confusion.

Arashi: “Well we haven’t seen each other in over 5 years. I didn’t get to thank you properly. You left without saying goodbye.”

Zephyr still looking confused until Arashi pulled a white and gold book and said… Arashi: “Maybe this will help jog your memory.” Zephyr looks at the book and said “This book… Now I remember! Arashi is this how you look like after 5 years?”

Arashi: “Took you long enough.” Then Arashi’s face turned tense while looking at Zephyr.
Arashi: “Do you sense that?”

Zephyr: “Yes, I do sense it now. What is this strange presence I’m feeling? I’m also sensing the lives of the other passengers are fading; they may be in danger if we don’t do something about it. Were you followed before you got on?”

Arashi: “Yes, I’m not sure who or what they want from me but they’ve been on my trail for the past two years now.” Just then a sound what appears to be a helicopter was approaching the train; while at the same time getting closer.

Zephyr: “Huh, do you hear that just now?”

Arashi: “Do you mean the sound of a helicopter just now? Also it sounds like it’s getting a lot closer all of sudden.” Then the helicopter lands on top of the train causing it shake while at the same time causing the other passengers who were asleep to suddenly to awake from the commotion.

Howl: “What’s with this commotion just now and what is this feeling I’m sensing all of a sudden?”

Zephyr: “There’s been a disturbance and it looks like we’re being boarded as well by an unknown party. Do you think you could lend a hand here, Howl?”

Howl: “How do you know who I am?” Zephyr pointed to one of his luggage with the name tag.

Zephyr: “I take it you’re the vampire sorcerer from an unsolved case file about you being attacked by a rouge vampire.”

Arashi: “You’re a vampire? Don’t they drink blood?” Checking to see if she has any bite marks on her, and then Howl said…

Howl: “Don’t worry, I didn’t bite you. Like Zephyr said, I’m a sorcerer. So suppressing my vampire nature shouldn’t be a problem. By the way how did you know I was a vampire and what case file were you talking about?”

Just as Zephyr was going to tell him, the sound of gunshots can be heard coming from the direction of the dining car.

Zephyr: “That sounds like gunshots. It must be Zack engaging the enemy who entered from the top as well breaking through the windows. Let’s go and help him before it’s too late. Arashi, while Howl and I go and help Zack, can you attend to the ones who survived?”

Arashi: “I will try to do my best.”]]> http://j-pauldistrict.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=745 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:57:02 -0800 http://j-pauldistrict.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=745

there's a section in about every two lessons that won't let you backspace and tries to help you with accuracy. its a two-minute timed passage and is really frustrating me since if i mess up in the first line i have to wait for the time to be up before i try again. I am getting soooooo pissed off at it and its sucking up so much of my time. my course is a late start one, which means twice the workload of a normal class, so twice as much weekly typing.

I'm still getting over this cold/flu thing i have, so it makes focusing difficult...
i'm not even sure whats going on half the time...
back to work, i guess]]>

It's an article from Wired called, "Win an Internet Flame War." I'm sure you all know what this is. It's when you find yourself on a forum like this and finally comfortable enough to make a thread about something you believe in, and then ALL OF A SUDDEN some jackass shows up who is intentionally trying to piss you off OR just REALLY thinks what you think is wrong.

Now, if that person just hates you and throws things at you that don't make sense, at least you know he/she is an idiot, but what happens when they are actually making a lot of sense, but you insist that you must stand your ground? I can't count the times this has happened to me in many different places online.

So, take a look at this:
http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Win_An_Internet_Flame_War

It's really for fun and isn't like the gospel truth or anything (not that i trust the gospel to have truths anyway), but I read it and found it's actually useful in showing you have to plan out your actions to come out clever and on top.

I know it SEEMS stupid, but really this type of skill can come in handy in real life whenever you're FACING your target right in front of you and desperately want to come our victorious or just REALLY dignified.]]>
