This has been such an off week.
Pastor Brian has been fired unless something is done about it before August 31st. I don't want to get into details on here, because I don't want to be publically pointing fingers.
It's just all weird and confusing. And I need to talk to Andrea. Because of all the stuff going on, I haven't been finding times to speak with her.
What the heck is a "Fallen?" I'm going to take Tiya's word that, "[she's] not religious," because that "Fallen" crap isn't Biblical. It sounds like one of those things that a denomination of the Church added to Scripture. As far as demons ranks go, I don't think they exist other than "Satan > the one third of angels, who decided to betray God with Satan." And I'm not even sure about that.
The only purpose of demons is to destract people from God. Demon possession doesn't really happen in America, because it's a better tactic for it NOT to. A lot of Americans are given no reasons whatsoever to believe in a "super-natural" world, and if people were getting possessed left and right, Americans would have a reason.

At a loss...
Why does she need another illness? Just when we think that Mom's going to get better, something else pops up.
Why is this happening? I know the Bible says, "God turns all things to good." But how can Mom's many illnesses she keeps getting "turn to good?"
I just don't know what to think. It just keeps happening...
And I have no idea how I'm gonna fair at the stupid Awana dinner, either.

...><; *sigh*
I feel bad, like I've been neglecting everyone I know. Especially Andrea. I don't know what's up, I haven't spoken with her in a week. There's going to be lots of problems this summer...
Camps (and going to Tennessee)
4-H projects
SCHOOL, which I still have to do
And, finally, the last one...
My growing addiction to World of Warcraft.
I think I'm gonna lay off of WoW this week, and then, the weeks following, just try to play twice a week.
...Oh, coolio. Andrea's NOT dead. I just spent about half an hour trying to find her crazylife blog. First, I checked crazylife.com, and I freaked, because I thought the site closed down. Turns out I was looking for crazylife.org, so I was able to find her blog. Last post was yesterday.
Andrea, I'm sorry I haven't been talking with you. ;.; I'll catch you this afternoon, okay?

Life, not the board game. ;)
Monday, don't think I did anything. I believe that day was mostly normal.
Tuesday, Japanese class.
Wednesday, school, DV8, standerd stuff.
Thursday I helped at the Church rummage sale. I got up at 7:15(?) AM, got coffee at the La Cafe Bistro, arrived at Church around 8, and crashed after I went home around 1 or 2 PM.
Friday--today's day, in case you, the reader, had forgotten--got up even earlier than the day prior, around 5(?) AM and ended up crashing in the car about an hour and a half later. Oh, Dad, Josh, and I were going to pick up Tim. We're home now, all except Dad: The reason he was able to go is because he's going to work on "Diastor Recovery Work" or something. It's just practice, anyways.
Anyways, I'm just tired. Being in a car for a little over ten hours today is rather tiring, though it seems extremely ironic that one would get tired from doing nothing in a car. Nothing but sleeping, eating, drinking, (non-alcholic stuff, mind you) and reading the sixth Harry Potter book months after it came out.
I forgot how interesting the Harry Potter books were. I think it's because the spoilers were all over the 'net almost a mere week after the book came out. Would seeing countless shouts of [spoiler]Snape killed Dumbledore![/spoiler], before you even read the book, entice some people to read? The thought of, "Why read it when you already know what's going to happen?" is common with many people, I'm sure. But yet...
A simliar argument could be said with the Bible. "Why read it when you already know what's going to happen?" I guess, with both cases, one could say, "Knowledge is better understood when you've read it for yourself." It's one thing to watch a pastor preach about the death and ressurection of Jesus Christ or to watch people go on, and on, and on about who-did-what in the latest Potter book. It's better to read for yourself, experience the truth firsthand. Sometimes, truth could also be distorted. Like taking passages out of context, such as the infamous case of the Bible declaring itself that, "there is no God," when the verse, in context, said something rather different. Even in Harry Potter, I've read a case where someone had a sick enough mind to replace the word "wand" with "wang" in the Chamber of Secrets and then declare that J.K. Rowling must, in fact, be a "dirty, dirty woman."
Just some thoughts I'll end there, because they started getting weird...subjects. Uh, um...
LOOK! THE O RLY OWL!

Um, yeah! Go O RLYness!
Anyways. On more pleasant matters...
I'm thinking about getting a cartooning program and making an animated film for the DV8 film feastival. First, I'd like to check out what the Chapmen Brothers use, then, before I do anything, I'd like to write a script and see if anyone would be interested in a little VAing (Voice Acting).
I actually had Kevin S. in mind, playing a samurai type character. Because, for some reason, I found the idea to be simply hilarious.
My idea I had would be making fun of generic Japanese scenerios. Shinta Yamamoto is a cool and collected samurai, who, obviously, is quite strong. Shinta is, under strange and unusual circumstances, where he is living at some place in the mountains with some women.
I haven't quite figured out the personalities of these women, nor how many of them there are, but I figured I'd keep it to three or less.
One of the women, I'm sure, is completely obsessed with "her" "Yamamoto-sama."
Another, I thought could be a character named "Mary Sue." Mary Sue would be, well, a Mary Sue, basically an unbelievable character that generally has a wangsty tragic past, super powers, is drop-dead-gorgeous, may have royal connections, have an arch-enemy, and, finally, her only weakness is clumsiness. 'Cause, ya know, clumsiness actually comes in handy when it comes to falling unto your love interest! Of course, I plan on using all these features to make her overly-all obnoxious.
My last idea for one of the females would be the only female that did not care for Shinta. Maybe the house cook or something. *shrugs*
This post is getting rather lengthy, so I'm stopping now. I'm going to take a shower and then go immediately to bed. I have to meet with Susan! :D

HA! I haven't posted in a week...
Josh is home (I accidently typed "ghome"...the 'g' is silent, like gnome?) now, and we've been playing Mario Party 4. Well, just the Beach Volly Folly game thingy. If we beat the match mode, we'll unlock free mode, and that way all three of us kids could play. Josh and I have managed to get to Bowser and Koopa Kid (sigh...why did they change it? Baby Bowser sounded much better. And I doubt that there are many Americans who realize that Bowser's Japanese name is Koopa) three times. The last time we were really, really, really, really, REALLY close. I think we can do it.
Tom Nook is having an hour long sale at his store in Animal Crossing today. I wonder what he'll be selling. ;P I'm such a geek.
Yeah. I've been trying to get Josh to read my story, and now I know why he won't: He has more fun playing WoW, it's a little more active. So, it's not that he thinks that my story is awful...he's just an addicted geek. Meh, I'll have him in the car on Friday, if he doesn't read it before then. Buwahahaha...
Mmm, yeah. My Princess Nine CD should be coming this week...that's about it.
