Strange occurence.

I have already done 2 math lessons in a little under an hour, and I only have a discussion with mom, to answer some LOTR questions, my bright minds, and HWT today, and I'm done. My costume this year is a pirate, and I know an easy costume next year. Neku Sakuraba. It will be a piece of cake, as I just need some headphones, blue shirt, and a pair of white shorts. That would be pretty fun.

Shonen Jump Rocks!

Shonen Jump is an awesome magazine. I am subscribed, so I get an issue every month. It generally has more than 300 pages. It has 7 manga everymonth, though they sometimes have a chapter of a new manga. It costs $5 at the store, but you can get subscribed for the price of 6 issues, 50% of the cover price. And lets not forget the fact that you also get a free, awesome card every month. However, it is a little confusing, as The issue you buy in november on the first tuesday would be the December issue, ehich has the Arcana Force EX- The light ruler card this month. It's pretty cool. Not as good as the wicked dreadroot, but same attack power. So those are the reasons Shonen Jump rocks.

Emotional effect of Book 2 chapter 5 of Lord of the Rings.

I was just reading this chapter, and got to the part where the Balrog emerged, which was pretty cool. It made me kind of excited to see the Balrog, one of the greatest enemies of all of Middle-earth. I thought it was amazing what Gandalf did with the spell that broke his staff. But I did get sad as Gandalf was falling with the Balrog. That is bad. I mean, the promise he made to Frodo, he did his best, but now he's most likely dead. But knowing Gandalf, he is probably going to come back later on in the book alive and good as new.

Lizzie's a twit.

I am perfectly serious about this, I didn't hypnotize her. I was playing with my yo-yo near Lizzie. Went into mom's room, and just let it hang, and she was batting my yo-yo. I mean, can you believe that? A cat playing with a yo-yo. That was pretty funny. And today I am going to the Lawerence Hall of Science. They always have cool stuff there, including choose your own adventure books. I sure hope I can buy one.

Hectic week

This week is going to be incredibly hectic. Today and on Wednesday nothing out of the ordinary is going on. But on tuesday, thursday, and Friday, something out of the ordinary is going on. Tomorrow, we willbe going to the Lawerence Hall of Science. On Thursday it will be the Winchester Mystery house and then Gradma Lisa's house. And finally, on Friday, Halloween! Friday is going to be awesome. So much candy!

Why have I become mute?

Another joke, this time because of the fact that yesterday I did a Video game focus group, where I did stuff I am unable to talk about. I can't say a word about it, but I really want to. However, I can tell you about the claymation class I had done earlier. I had attempted to make Naruto with the Rasengan in his hands, while Matt made sonc, and Jonathan made a pumpkin warrior. We went to a tree setting, as Sonic punched the pumpkin warrior, knocking him over, who then jumped onto a rock when Naruto appeared. Then the Pumpkin warrior jumped down as Naruto unleashed the Rasengan, knocking both Sonic and the pumpkin warrior into the air, and while Sonic landed in a tree, the pumpkin warrion squashed Naruto, whom he then shot 3 times with his shotgun arm. It had been pretty funnny. We even got a disc, so we can put it on Youtube. I wonder how many hits it will get.

Percy, stop fighting monsters, it's time for school

Yet again, a joke, this time on a book seires. Percy is a seemingly normal boy with ADHD and dyslexia. He has been kicked out of every school he's gone too. His mother takes him to a beach, and a storm appears. They hed to a summer camp, and Percy kills the minotaur. Yes, it is real. However, it seemingly killed his mother, making her dissapear in a cloud of golden dust. The summer camp is called Half Blood Hill, and Percy is most definetley not full human. He is a half blood, the child of a god and a mortal. As he goes through his time there, Clarisse, a child of Ares, tries to dunk his head in the toilet. He feels a tug in his gut, and all the water fixtures start spilling water everywhere. However, he is completely dry.

To Be Continued. This is just from The lightning thief, but there are 5 boks, and I have and I've read the first 4. The 5th is going to be the best of them all. I can feel it.

I've been tagged.

I've never done this before, as I am not good at this, but I was tagged by my mom and now have to share 7 weird or random things about me.

1) I have an Uncle I am older than, by about a month.

2) I am addicted to manga. I even get a magazine that has manga.

3) Because of my manga obsession, I am addicted to anime as well.

4) I am also addicted to video games, though I only buy ones from a seiries I like, or that seems cool.

5) I managed to beat a part for getting a license in GranTurisomo 4 that Matt couldn't even though he once beat me in a race.

6) I have "adopted" a polar bear at the San Franciso Zoo, and got a little polar bear with a christmas hat as a gift. I named it Flippy.

7) Most of my Build A Bear Workshop things, I have named after Kingdom Hearts Characters. My Harley-Davidson Koala I named Namine, my Hockey bear Sora and my fishing dog Riku.

Yeah, pretty weird, but completely random. I'm sure if I tried I could get more. I'm supposed to tag other people, but I don't know how to. Oh well, I did come up with 7 random facts. Bye.

Why does Matthew get to play?

The reason I ask is because he tweaked his knee yesterday, and hasn't done much schoolwork, yet he is playing GT 4 supposedley for Nic, while he is getting his license. Lier. I'm close to done, but no, Matt is playing, that cheater. He's been a pain in the neck as well.

This week is the week.

The reason for saying that is because on Thursday, I have a claymation class and game survey! the game survey will be geting me $100, though I only get $50, as I am paying for half of my costume. The haunted house I was doing this weekend was awesome. i met my old freind Dylan (to be more precise, he has been at my Young Actros Workshop class, but I thought it was a different Dylan, but its my freind from Fallone View). I got to be in all the acting/control room spots. They shall be listed in order of being found. CR#1 is in the beggining, behind a fake painting, controlling the door, chairs and dropping sawblade in the next room. Acting #1 is a swordsmith, where you bang on a sword and tell the guests that to get through, they will need a proper sword. CR#2 is under a ship, upon which is a skeleton, 2 cannons(fake) and 2 hatches. You are underneath, controlling the ships wheel and skeleton by making a small pipe and plank of wood turn, with a microphone which is hooked up to the skelton. This ship has been cursed to sail in this storm for 1000 year, and fires the cannons at the people. CR#3, which is the last one, has a rocking chair moving, and a head, which is Davy Jones Jailer. A man had attempted to steal davy jones treasure, and therefore must have his head cut off. Then you stich your head in a box after cutting of the head, allowing your face to be projected onto a mask of sorts on the wall. Acting #2 is a swordsman pirate, who guards the treasure, and prevents people from getting through davy jones locker. The actor looses the fight and must walk the plank, jumping off and hitting a box with a button on top. Acting #3 is inside a chest, as a ghost, who guards the treasure. You talk about how the treasure is yours, and then tell them there is a cursed chandelier above their heads, which the tour guide drops via a rope behing a door. Acting #4 is handing out the treasure. And that is everything about the haunted house.

Biographical sketch on Christopher Paolini.

This was one of my work projects, and I just thought you might enjoy it.

Christopher Paolini as a child might be someone you would expect to write a series of fantasy books. He was born and raised in Livingston, Montana. He was home schooled his early life, and was comfortable with 1st grade work at age 3. He actually didn’t want to read at 3 or 4 years old. But his mother took hi to the library, and the books that first caught his eye were those of the fantasy genre. He read whatever seemed interesting to him, including classics, myths, thrillers, science fiction, and especially the fantasy genre, and writers who talked about heroes and elves, swordfighters and quests, and especially dragons.
Christopher Paolini is indeed a child wonder, whiting a book at age 15, which is close to the age of other teenage writers, who wrote their first book at age 14, 15, or 16. His head was teeming with ideas, and he was always daydreaming about dragons as a child. He graduated from high school in 1999 at the age of 15. That was when he started work on Eragon. He didn’t want to be published, but rather viewed writing a book long work as a personal challenge. He read books by Orson Scott Card and Robert McKee to find out how to write a plot line. With the plot line, he created his nine page summary, which he imbued with the famous fantasy parts of dwarves, dragons, magic, exotic locations, and a sense of awe and wonder. He drew some elements from JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series. These became the beginning of Eragon.
The story starts with a 15 year old boy named Eragon, who sees a gemstone with white veins while hunting deer in an area called the spine. It is actually a dragon's egg, and when the egg hatches and a magnificent blue dragon emerges, the boy's life is changed forever. The dragon is a female which he names Saphira. The evil tyrant Galbatorix has killed all but 3 dragons that are in eggs in the world. So it is Eragon’s destiny to save Alagesia from Galbatorix.
Christopher Paolini used much of the year 2000 reworking his first draft. He introduces 3 languages into the book. The elves speak a language based on Old Norse, while the Dwarves and Urgals use languages he made up entirely. He created a glossary at the back of the finished book, to show what the words that were used through the book meant. He also based the land of Alagesia on his home state of Montana. The Beor Mountains are exaggerated forms of the Beartooth Mountains in Montana. He decided to give his second draft to his parents, who helped him edit his draft. They removed much of what they called Bloat from the draft. His parents decided to publish the finished manuscript themselves, instead of doing it the traditional way of finding a good publisher for it.
In 2002 the Paolini’s published the book privately, and took 10,000 copies to show and sell to people. He said that this experience of promoting the book was very stressful. They didn’t manage enough money, and might have had to sell the house, but a famous fan came in and in came the cash. Author Carol Hiaasen was on vacation in Montana. His stepson bought a copy of Eragon, which even excited Hiaasen, who promptly sent it to his editor. Hiaasen’s editor bought it for a 6 figure sum, and rights to the next 2 books in the Trilogy. When Eragon was debuted in August 2003, it was third on the children’s best seller.
Critics gave it mixed reviews, and had mainly focused on the flaws. However, it has been floating in the number 1 and 2 spots on the children’s best seller list, competing with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The privately published copies have sold for more than a grand apiece, and the first widely printed edition is valued at $300. Christopher Paolini has one indulgence he has allowed himself. That is a replica Viking sword, which he carries around the house. He can’t really ask for more than people loving his books.

I hope you liked this. The website I got this information from was www.notablebiographies.com/news/Ow-Sh/Paolini-Christopher.html

Can anybody say, hectic?

i'm serious, today was seriously hectic. We had our normal morning schedule, got schoolwork packed for today, and then have been out of the house all day since 10 something. He went to lunch, and then me and Matt went to dad's work in his car. We did our work there while mom and the other kids went and did a bunch of errands, including costco shopping. So, yeah, today was incredibley hectic.

Thank Goodness!

I finally got my work done. Well not quite, but I finally got my Lord of the Rings done for today and Monday. I don't have much left, so I should get to it. Bye.

Why must this happen to me?

I have a sinus headache that really hurts, and I really hate it. I cannot find any sudafed, and it has been messing with my voice, which really stinks. I did however manage a 98 and 108 in bowling today. So the cons and pros are balanced. Oh well, the rest of the day can's possible get any worse.

UNCLE JACK WAS OVER!!!

It's true, my uncle jack was over and he broght his Xbox 360 Pro along with Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. They were pretty fun, and I thought that they were good, except that I couldn't play on the xbox for Saturday Afternoon and all of Sunday. All in all, the weekend was pretty fun.

Jack is here!

As judged by my title, my uncle Jack is over. He brought his Xbox 360 Pro and CoD 4 and Halo 3. We've played a little, and he is kicking some of his freinds butts in infection. He doesn't generally start the zombie. But I'm glad he came over for the weekend.

Why am I the last person on Earth?

Okay, that was just a joke on a new game I got called "The World Ends With You." It is really weird. You are a boy namedNeku Sakuraba, and you just do your own thing, not caring about other people, wishing they were gone. Then you wake up in the crosswalk with no memory except for your name. And suddenley some frogs appear, and they try to kill you! So you run away, and bump into Shiki Misaki and you fight the frogs, known as noise. You make a pact, and then start on your adventure in the Reapers Game.

Christopher Paolini!!!!!!

Christopher Paolini is in town! I can't believe it! Me and my mom will be heading to a high school in San Bruno, where he will personally sign Brisingr and one of his other books to me! How awesome is that? Incredibly awesome. I can't wait to see him in person.

Okay?

This is kind of unexpected. I ordered 2 items that were supposed to come tomorow, and they came today. I was actually kind of surprised at that. Not that it matters, it just means I can read/ play my things a day earlier.

Birthday!

My birthday was so awesome, I got some pretty cool stuff. I got Disagea DS, $75, a $75 Amazon gift card, with which I bought Vol. 21 of Naruto and The World Ends With You, plus Undertown, Nora, and the Ocarina of Time vol. 1. And my last present was Munchkin Chthulu 3, and Munchkin 6. Everything is going to be awesome.
