Feed

Well I read the weirdest book today, it is called Feed and it is weird as hell. Ok so these teens go to the moon and go to a party where the computer chips in their brains get hacked and then they have to go to the hospital and this one chick, Violet, hooks up with the main character, Titus, and then they all go home and Violet finds out that her chip is permanently damaged and she slowly starts to break down. She eventually is killed. It was a depressing book with a depressing ending. Well on to happier things, I had an idea for a book. It is set in a society where women have no rights to anything. They live in herums and can't wear clothing and exist only to have babies that get sent off to live in a group. The main protagonist would challenge the times and go off on her own by the end. It would kind of be like a mixture of "The Hand Maids Tale" and "Anthem" possibly my dearest cousin would help me with this project? I honestly have no idea where this idea came from, it just popped into my head one day like, "Oh, hello write about some poor women that have no rights!" And I went, "brain that is actually a somewhat good idea, we could become classic authors like the writer of "Anthem" or we could just be another sufferage book. My brain is a terrifying place. My school has reached new lows, our only microwave appears to be dying for it is sparking like crazy and totally freaking out. Also apperently lemonade is now called lemon-flavored juice drink. WTH? Why can't they say lemonade? Peace love and all that jazz Zarina

Screw Square-Enix

Ijustfound out that in the latest KH game Riku gets to be a master and Sora dosen't. As a dedicated Sora lover and a complete hater of Riku this pissed me off to no end. Sora has saved all the worlds twice at this point while Riku tried to destroy them at one point,and he get to be the true master and not Sora? What the hell were the game producers thinking? Riku's a prick with exactly 0 points in the common sense department that has given in to darkness on more than one occasion. This complete oversite on the developers part has left me completly astounded. Seems like the best part of this game will be the new worlds of Hunchback of Notredame and Fantasia. I mean really people stop being idiots and favoring Riku, first he was the original weilder of the keyblade now the true master? What next just take Sora's keyblade completly and make Riku the new protagonist? And why not just have him make out with Kairi, to throw salt in the wound? I mean after all the shit Sora has gone through to keep everybody safe you could at least give him the mark of mastery, but noooooo lets just give it to Riku to make all his freakin' fangirls (or boys) happy. All I can say is that Riku better fail so horribly at the master thing that Sora has to come and save his ass from getting whooped so bad he has to fart and burp out of the same hole, that would give me so mush sadistic pleasure it's not even funny. They already ruined the final fantasy series do they have to ruin KH as well? At least Kairi get to be trained in the use of the keyblade so she can kick some ass (hopefully) later in the series. But really Riku over Sora, can you truthfully, I mean looking me in the eye, and tell me that that is not blatent fanservice? Anybody? Hummmm . . ? I didn't think so.

We got screwed

Ok so remember how I said that our asistant band director was getting fired? Well several students went to the board meeting to try to convince the board to save him. Three different people got up and spoke on his behalf. Well little did we know that the freaking board had scheduled an "emergency meeting" on monday to decide the contracts. We were not notified of this fact and all went to the regular meeting on tuesday. I belive that the board now believes that we are idiots. Long pitiful story with lots of tears and heartbreak short, we have failed to save his jod and our band will eventuall choke and die. I love the band and so does everyone else in it, even some peopke not in band love our band. The band is by far the best organization in the school and when it chokes the school will have nothing left to help it out of the gutter. My band is my family, I don't want to loose it. I'll feel all alone at school without band. I'm crying right now, I knew that if I started on ths I would start to cry again. I hate our school and my whole life right now, the only good thing is that tommorrow we finish Macbeth and everybody will die. I really have no heart to put my normal sign-off here so bye Zarina

Friday 13th strikes again

Today we found out that most of the teachers that helped our school get better have been fired.  Well if that isn't a blow I don't know what is.  The teachers that have been fired are mostly the ones that I actually liked.  Our assistant band director, Mr. Sandy has been cut, one of the spanish teachers (the good one not mine, unfortunetly).  THe one I worry about most is Mr. Sandy if he leaves I have a sneakinf sispicion that the head director will leave as well.  That would suck, big time. 

Hey Lani, can I come live with you?  Please?  No?  Nuts.

Anyhoo on to happier things.  My friend Kiara introduced me to a band today that has become my new favorite band.  They are called Chamilion Circuit and their best song is Big Bang Two it is amazing but only if you get it.  It is so funny if you get what it's about.

We spent all of last period writing Doctor Who jokes today.  Last period is now my favorite class.

Screw Nintendo

I just started watching a Let's Play of Skyward Sword, it just might just be my favorite Zelda game yet!  Right up until Zelda faked me out.  I literally thought that they were going to kiss, I swear, I sould have seen the fact that it was a tease coming, but I didn't.  Curse my infernal ZeLink ship!  I had a fangirl temper tantrum over that one, I think a lot of prople probably did.  Then they go on a date and she is about to confess, I'm totally serious and *River Song falls fron the sky shouts "SPOILERS"  then disappears* yeah ok what she said, you'll have to go look it up for yourself I would suggest Nintendocaprisun for all your Let's Play needs.  Yeah shameless advertisement, plus he's funny.  If you have small children in the house, though, you should use earbuds or something cuz he will cuss.

Well . . .

I just finished the Majora's Mask manga and it was not better than the game.  I do enjoy the game better than the manga.  But for Ocarina of Time it's definently the manga that's better.

I wrote a story today about a seemingly happy girl who kills herself because of bullying, don't ask why.  The plot bunnies just wouldn't leave me alone.  Evil things, I hate 'em.  Plot bunnies are evil, especially mine since they also appear to be depressed.  Oh well.

Manga and books

Didi you know that The Legend of Zelda series has manga?  I didn't, but now I do and I have been reading them and they are amazing! 
The first thing I liked about them is that Link is not mute, in fact he barely ever shuts up.
The second thing I absolutely loved is that Zelda was a freakin' bad ass.  She stood up to Ganon! 
There was so much more plot in the manga.  It made me cry when the game never did.
Zelda and Link actually had a nearly-romantic relationship.  It was so cute, you could totally tell that they liked each other.

I also just finished "Just Listen" and it was amazing.  I usually don't go for that kind of story, I tend to lean more towards fantasy and adventure-fantasy, but this was a good book.  Totally recommended by a tried and true bibliophile. 

Here are some series that I hated the endings of:

Midnighters

Inheritance Cycle (Eragon)

His Dark Materials (Golden Compass)

Hunger Games (only certain parts)

Series of Unfortunate Events
