Okies, the Garfiel picture. I told you he was gay. Or maybe you told me. Or maybe it was mutual agreement.

I was doodling on my hand while I was s'posed to be writing my story and I decided it was Kitsune's tattoo. The vine, the batwing-ish stuff on the index finger (it was wearing off by the time I scanned this), and the character for 'water' between them are in Kitsune's tattoo. The date and all the other crap to the right of the date (Basically me writing water a bunch more times, and the characters for gold and fire) are not on her tattoo. That's just other crap. There's other stuff there. You can kind of see where my hand was pressed against the scanner glass ... but yeah. She draws them on herself, using a pen like Valkyre's (that is, one that doesn't draw on anything but skin, where it's permanent.) So it's virtually painless.

August likes to come up with weird names for Kitsune. He doesn't use them out loud, just in his head. He uses them to 'punish' her. When she does something that really impresses him, he thinks of her as 'my bodyguard'. His first name for her was 'the Pansy' because there are pink flowers on the tunic she was wearing when they first met. The current one is the Grim Reaper, because he thinks of her as haunting him like a god of death, and due to the morbid tattoos on her hand below the right glove. He hasn't seen the left one yet ... x3. (the picture I sent you is the right-hand tattoo. Just not the morbid parts. xD;;)

Yeah. He hasn't asked her about the tattoos yet but he will soon. I've got two chapitres finished. They're on the short side, compared to some of the other stuff I've written. Like Something.

Ugh. I've got English homework but I don't want to do it. It's not due till Tuesday ... and there's my inner procrastinator speaking again.

Oh yeah it's a three-day weekend this weekend. President's day, I think. One of those random holidays, in any case ... But yeah Monday's the day off do you have Monday off do you want to come over?

You know what's weird? The root for Monday is moon, and the root for Sunday is sun. And those are the kanji for those days. 0_o Wowzers, that's weird. A coincidence? I think not! (but then maybe I'm slightly biased, seeing as I don't really believe in coincidences ...)

well happy valentine's day.

except, you know, the valentine's day part. O_O

haha.

well that means tomorrow's my birthday. GAHHHH!!

anyway how's life?

happy valentines day!!!!!!

Okies. You need to read, like, the last ten comments I left. 0-o

But anywho. I drew August and Fay. August is a scottish nazi vampire slayer. Fay's a german vampire. Is that not perfect? August is kind of angry-looking; he's got a sword that says, 'vampire slayer' on it and He's wearing a kilt. Fay is wearing a tailcoat and licking a bloody knife. His hair is down, and in the other hand he's holding some of those darts.

Are you going to give me the info on the birthdays for the 22nd and 21st? cuz I want to know. I need to know how accurate it is. I'd laugh if one of them matched, then be like, 'wow, that's scary'. I'd go into hysterics if neither of them matched.

erm ... I dunno if you got the message, I got an account on photobucket. Check out the picture of Garfiel. It is quite possibly the best picture in the entire manga. Which is saying something, if you count the number of pictures of four-year-old Edward in his too-large pyjamas. Which is the cutest thing ever. Mokona could take lessons.

Oh yeah, where's that video you said you were going to upload to you tube, the one of your mum making a funny noise with Christian playing rock-paper-scissors with himself in the background? Cause I'd save it. Because I'm sure it's as funny as it sounds.

You know what I want on my iPod? Word disassociation by Neil. It's a song that's a random list of words. Is that not the coolest thing ever?

I had the sudden urge to draw August in a Kilt. The dream I had last night was cool, if very creepy. In it, I walked into a bookstore that I'd never been in before, and I picked up this random book and started reading. Then I dreamed I was in the book, but I was observing it passively, like it was in third person. There was this girl who I think might've been a lesbian, because she was trying to get into this house where another girl was. She had longish black hair that was thrown into a messy bun-like thing, and she was pretty pale, but she really wasn't dressed for the weather. (there was a really intense blizzard going on) Finally she forced her way in. The house was warm in colour, with lots of varnished wood, a big fancy curving staircase, and a big crystal chandelier with all the candles lit. There were fancy oriental-ish rugs on the floors. The girl was pretty, with soft brown hair, on the short side, probably looking like if Eleanor were a teenager. So this girl will henceforth be known as Eleanor, because it gets too confusing referring to half the characteres as 'the girl'. Eleanor's father was a largeish man, with long straight grey-streaked brown hair that he wore in a ponytail. He really wasn't happy with his daughter being lesbian (I THINK they were lesbian together; I could be wrong. Either way, he didn't want them seeing each other.) Come to think of it, he looked pretty much how I imagined Camael. God, what is it with me and Camael? Except I think this guy had a beard ... But anywho, he was shouting at the raven-haired girl, and she was shouting at him, and he had Eleanor behind him, but not like he was protecting her. He finally got a hold of the raven-haired girl, and he dragged her out into the blizzard. There was a hobo there, a wild, crazy man who was kind of middle-aged-ish (he was older than Bearded Camael) with wild masses of grey hair and beard. Camael pushed the girl into this guy, so they both fell into a snowdrift. It was kind of twilight, though it may have been the clouds. And (here's where Gwen comes in) there was this fallen fir tree, but you could tell it was recently cut because the needles were all still green, and Bearded-Camael rummaged around until he uncovered a very snow white-esque coffin (with the gold base and glass top.) Gwen was inside, and she was dead. She had two puncture-wounds at the base of her neck, the skin around them was kind of yellowish. He broke the coffin open, and threw her on top of the girl and the hobo, then he ran back into the house (he was really spooked) and locked them out. Then Gwen sat up, because I guess she had been turned into some sort of undead thing, and she put a blanket around the dark-haired girl, and wrapped her arms around her. The girl, who passed out I think when she landed on the hobo, wakes up, and Gwen is in pain. Like, really bad pain, deep in her chest, but she's not letting it show; she's pnly worried about keeping the girl alive in the blizzard. The hobo is digging a hole in the ground behind them. Maybe it's a grave. He digs all the snow away, and starts digging into the dirt under that, piling dirt on top of the piles of snow. Then my alarm went off, and I woke up. Upon waking up, I was actually pretty freaked out; because there was this whole morbid feel overlaying the entire thing, but mostly because I had this really strong sense that something was left unfinshed, and that it was really important.

Now I have a question. Why do your characteres keep popping up in my dreams? Or at least, versions of your characteres, or people that resemble them.

I'm on chapitre two. There's a charactere in it who I don't like very much. His name is Frank. Frank Bryce. (Ha. Ha.) But he's just ... annoying. He's a face-head. So, of course, Kitsune gets to kick his @$$. x3

How much of Iris have you read?

THE BIRTHDAYS!!!1!!11!11!111!1

Actually, I came up with a whole backstory for August and Gwen as they are in my story, and August asn't nearly the jerk he would've been were he really a prince. He's actually a nice person. Just easily annoyed. And he (and Gedric) make some stupid mistakes. But no one not even Kitsune is without flaws.

Basically, their parents died when August was eight. It was their dying wish that August and Gwen get good educations, and August took that to heart. (School starts at usually eight to ten for first grade in central. You enter first grade usually with no prior knowledge.) August becomes a paperboy to save up for school. (while not expensive, there is no public education in Central, so it's not free.) Gwen is put in an orphanage so August doesn't have to worry about her (she's only three, and he's eating out of dustbins to save all the money he can.) where he dresses her up like a boy, because girls don't get to go to school. By the time he's ten, he's saved up enough for maybe a year and a half (as I said, it's cheap) but then Gwen's orphanage goes on one of the frequent 'orphan dumps', where they load a bunch of kids into the back of a truck, drive them into the middle of Edge, and leave them on a street-corner. But this time Gwen is taken along. So she's gone when August comes back to visit her, and the orphanage looted all their savings. (Gwen was holding onto the money because August was sleeping in the streets, and they didn't give them time to gather their things.) But anywho. Gwen ends up in an orphanage in Edge, and they get a sketch artist to do an artist rendition of August. This goes in her file. (they try to reunite siblings, unlike the orphanages in central, who don't care.) She gets the file when she's sixteen, and she gets the artist to draw August at twenty-one. Gwen has had a full education, which starts in Edge at age five in first grade and goes 'til you're sixteen. This system is public, unlike in central. After she got hold of her file, she went to Central to try to find August after Bella (who works in a bar in Edge) told her she thought Gedric (who she said looked kind of like August's twenty-one guess-picture) had mentioned an August. Thus, Gwen ends up working as a laundry maid in the place August lives, which is a huge complex. August is twenty-one when the story starts, Gedric twenty-two, Bella twenty-four, and Gwen is sixteen.

Which reminds me, I had a dream last night that had Gwen in it. She was dead. But not really, cuz she was killed by a vampire, so she was undead. She even had the puncture wounds on her neck.

But anywho. After he lost Gwen, August dinked around for a while, until he was finally picked up by the company at around eleven or twelve. He was all set to become a member of the Royal Guard alongside Gedric (he's maybe fifteen or sixteen now) when he was adopted by the Company's founder. He can read but as he's never been to school, he doesn't know much else. Which explains why he still has lessons at twenty-one. His class is him and two other young men about his age. I guess they are 'back-up' heirs, in case something happens to August. They have a Tutor whose job is to teach the three of them. Yeah, that's about it.

Oh yeah. What about those two birthdays? 21 and 22 Dec. in case you forgot ...

Yeah, but if Kitsune was my bodyguard, I'd make her help me with math. x3 Just because .... she's smarter than me. I'd totally take advantage of her. I'd be like ... 'This assignment is dumb. Do it for me.' Then she'd have to, because I have author privlages. xD

He stared at the paper for quite some time. Find the equation for a circle with the centre at (-4, 3) and a radius of 6. What the frack. Who knew how to do that? Who cared?
August was on the verge of tearing the paper to shreds when a light, musical voice asked, 'Need help?'
August turned to face his bodyguard. 'What do you know about Algebra?'
'Quite a bit, in fact. What did you need help with?'
August read the problem. 'Quantity x-plus-four squared plus quantity y-minus-three squared equals thirty-six. Easy.'
August wanted to be angry, but this is rather hard when one is attempting to scribble down what their bodyguard just said.

This has been an excerpt from Chapitre one of my story. I'm thinking I should give the chapitres one-word titles, like Iris. But I think I'll wait 'til I have more than just one to come up with them.

Ugh. I couldn't remember how to find the equation of a circle for the longest time. I'm assuming that August hates math as much as I do ...
