   Return Of The Angel

If this doesn't get your attention that I'm alive... HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!! Yes! I have returned(for how long, who knows?) I'm sorry to have neglected my obligations to this site. I've been busy with school, mostly. *is struck by lightning* OK! Ok! I've also been reading things, doing things, playing things, trying to keep my grades up, and been grounded, amoung other, currently non-rememberable things. What was the main reason I fell into brief obscurity? Probably because I fell back in love with my Age of Empire II games. Although it all truely started with the reruning and bad time-slotting(for me) of anime shows. Other things probably happened, too.... So, care to know what's happened while I've been gone? I'll try to see if I can catch myself up on things here and elsewhere.... (I'll try to shorten this as much as posible) Well, let's start with the day before Thanksgiving. For a few weeks, my best friend had been bugging me to write a story again(she was writing one, and we've been writing/drawing stories/mangas either together or at the same time for a year plus, never finishing anything but one story of hers). And so, after a dream I had(which I'll tell at request), I began forming a plot. Just from this short part in a dream that, when typed, would probably be only a little more than a paragraph. I decided to finally write it down. Within a week, I was done with the first chapter! Wish I could say the same about the second, though.... And now, Christmas and the week after! I had run out of things to read(my last book having been, I think, Wicked; the Life of the Wicked Witch of the West[I didn't know much about the content when I started reading, though]), so I recieved In the Forests of Serre from Santa, and Eragon from my dad. Then, the first Monday after Christmas, I had my fifteenth birthday! The day before, I got to see LotR; Return of the King as my B-Day movie! Loved it(as I did the others)! My new books didn't last long. I started In the Forests of Serre nearly as soon as school started back up, and finished it in two days. I started Eragon barely a week later, and finished it in a week(which is my goal for finishing books). So, boredness! I read a book on medieval castles one week in February, and started on one on medieval villages, too. I was probably also grounded somepoint in there. During the last week of March, which was our Spring Break, I reread Ella Enchanted. Good book there. And now, for April! Well, I was out of fantasy books, so I looked for some at the Barnes and Nobles website. What did I find? The first book this school year that's taken me two weeks to finish; The Outstretched Shadow, the first book in the Obsidian trilogy. Now if that's not at least good reading, then this world's more warped than I thought! I loved this book! Kellen, the main guy, didn't seem like the ordinary hero. Near the end, I believed what the second to last chapter said had happened had happened(this is a spoiler-proofed sentence)! I was half wanting to not make my one-week deadline! I almost made the extended two-week one, though, but I stayed up until 11:00 last night reading, and decided the begining of the last chapter was a good place to start off, so I finished it today, two weeks and one day after starting it. The next book in the trilogy will definately be an exception to my one-week policy(hehe,:) I have my own policy! I'm such a geek/half-nerd!) And what about anime? Well, the only anime I've seen of late has been some episodes of Teen Titans and when I watched some Fruit Basket episodes. My current anime life is sad....
