Ingenuity?

I don't like going outside on really cold, dreary days because I've got practically no meat on my bones and I get very cold very fast.

When I have to go out, I partially mitigate this tendency by wearing multiple layers of shirts and socks. That seems to work pretty well, but my legs still get cold, and that just won't do. Today I hit upon the brilliant idea that, if I can double up on shirts or socks, why not do the same thing with pants?

Wish me luck (and that I won't look like a moron)!

Initiative?

I've decided that, since I have a tendency to forget otherwise, that I'd make a list of all the movies I've been told I have to see. If you know of another one, or want to suggest another one, please feel free and I'll add it to the list!

Trainspotting
The Lost Boys
Lawnmower Man
Pride & Prejudice
Children of Men
Eragon
Pan's Labyrinth
Donny Darko (thanks sis)
Battle Royale (thanks Jerry)

...And that's all I can remember at the moment.

Backbones are for brave boys

One of the best quotes I've heard in a while, compliments of Jeph Jacques.

"The 'look how pathetic I am, take pity on me and give me kisses' approach to wooing ladies is not recommended. Show some spine, dudes! Kiss that lady, ask her out on a date, throw pencils at her head in class!"

The Joys of Being Sad *tear*

I know I've already shown this to some of you, but this amuses me to such a great extent that I wanted to re-share it. I'm sure purposely reading emo LiveJournal posts is probably indicative of some sort of neurosis.

Nobody Understands Me...
My dearest readers...

At first, I was going to make This, my LiveJournal Post, Friends-Only, But then I realized how Unfair such an Act would Be. Since my Friends, especially swindlers_list and 2proud2liveordie, have all ready Given me So much support i wanted to take some of the Load off of their shoulders and Share my thoughts with Everybodie. For myslef, my Misery cannot be encapsulated in such a small container, and begs me to Share it with anyone who will Listen to my words. Perhaps one of you, My Dear readers, will be able to gather a spark of Wisdom and Happiness that will allow you to Succeed where i myself have Failed.

School is terrible. I am Failing calculus. I do not see How learning to take the Derivative of a number i care Nothing for is going to Help me in life. I am Not going to be a mathematician. This is the highest form of Oppression. the school and the Government are trying to fill our minds with Worthless drivel so that they can take Advantage of us because we Are like sheep to Them. I wish theachers would teach us Useful skills instead, like how to Talk to girls.

Speaking of girls, I saw My Angel in the lunchline again yesterday. the cafeteria was serving Salisberry steak and mashed potatos. I Hate the mashed potatos because they are Disgusting and the gravy is like slime from a disgusting Sewer. i did not eat the steak As i am a Vegan. All the awful things that happen at farms are Atrocious and we should hate anyone who would do such Awful things. I threw my Salisberry staek away because it was the Right thing to Do. I think everybodie should do this and Show those farmers that we will not stand for What they are doing and we mean Business.

I saw My Angel in the lunchline again yesterday. She had headphones on and was listening to Music. king_of_rags told me he heard what she was listening to and it was "I will follow you Into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie. I guess it's an okay song from them, but I didn't much like that Album and I think some of their earlier stuff is better (The Photo Album, yes?!?). Still, that just goes to show that My Angel has good taste in music, which makes her even More perfect than before. She is already beautiful and wonderful, and she's smart too. She is only 13 and is already in High School. I couldn't stop thinking about it, and i wrote a poem in english instead of diagramming sentences or whatever we were doing. I wasn't paying attention.

What is love?
Well, love is that feeling you get about someone
When they walk in the room
And your heart starts to race
And you feel lightheaded
And you're sweating WAY too much
And you can't think straight
Hardly thinking at all, so hope the teacher doesn't call on you
'Cause you can barely speak, let alone answer questions in Spanish

...

There's more but I didn't want to include it because the rest is very Personal to me.

That Brain-dead gorilla mike almost broke my glasses in gym again today. I'm starting to rhink that he's doing it on Purpose, but nobody either believes me or they don't care. Things will be so much better when i can leave home and I'm living in my own apartment. Then nobodie will make fun of me like I'm Less than a person. The joke is on him, though. In 10 years I will be successful and have a beautiful girlfriend who loves me, and I bet mike will still be working at the garage Changing oil for fat White men with their gas-guzzling SUVs. Then I will drive by every morning and laugh at him and point and then drive away before he can Do anything about it. The last Laugh is on you Mike.

O, i should probably tell you that I will not be posting again for a while. I have been grounded by my mother because she does not Understand that I have different needs than other people. I was IMing with DrAgOnStIgMaTa because he lives in my area and we were going to meet but my mom must have been reading over my shoulder and she said, "no, absolutely not. I will not let you do that." I tried to explain to her how I am an Otherkin, that I am actually a Vampyr and dont have a regular human soul and therefore I needed to spend time with other people like me instead of with humans who don't understand me. She said that was stupid and it was all in my head, and that I couldn't me a Vampyr because they are evil and she knew that couldn't be the case because I was her Child. I told her that if that was the case then maybe I was a Vampyr because I inherited her own black soul. Then she started to yell at me and
grounded me and said that I couldn't use the internet or the phone or watch TV or anything, and that if she caught me talking to "that man" any more (DrAgOnStIgMaTa) then she would call the police on him. That is a load of Crap, because I know that DrAgOnStIgMaTa is not a rapist or a child molester. He is an Otherkin like me (except that he has a part-dragon part-lupine part-eagle soul), and he seems to know a lot about it. He is very Wise.

For those of you who might not remember, or have been gone for a Long time, I would like to remind you that I am an Otherkin. I may look like a Human, but I do not have a Human soul. My soul is that of a Vampyr and it is a very Old soul. I used some candles to do a Magick spell of Divination and discovered that my Vampyr soul is 273 years old and has dwelled within many other Bodies as well, including Edgar Allan Poe and Emily Dickenson. It is a very respected Vampyr soul.

It is after Midnight now, though, and I have to go. I snuck on-line after my parents went to bed and if they find me posting on my LiveJournal they will be very mad at me and maybe ground me longer. Also, they would know about my LiveJournal and read all my Secrets, and I don't want my parents to know how many difficulties I face. The more normal they think I am, the better it is for them. I won't have to worry about this when I finally move out. Wish me good karma so I can hopefully get un-Grounded faster. I don't want to leave all of my Readers in suspense!

The Haunted Sound of Melancholy

I don't normally do this, because I have a notoriously bad track record for receiving responses, but I need someone's help. I've been trying to find information about Mistral, and so far I've reached something of a roadblock.

According to Wikipedia, Mistral is "an atmostpheric phenomenon that occurs mostly in the winter and spring in the Gulf of Lion. It creates a cold, strong northwesterly wind along the coast, particularly from Marsielle to Toulon, in southern France and in the whole of Sardinia in Italy." The article then goes on to explain a bit more about the meteorological details of Mistral.

However, what I want to know is how and when the name "Mistral" came about, what the word means, and what the legends and folklore about the Mistral winds are. I've done a bit of searching myself, but so far my efforts have been fruitless. If you can find any information about that for me, please let me know! I can't even pretend to offer a reward, but maybe I'll buy you a candy bar or something.

Thanks in advance!

Predicament

I guess it's simply a testament to my overall (lack of) artistic ability that the only flowers I can draw with any semblance of floral-ness are daisies and rosebuds.

And, to be perfectly honest, I didn't want to draw more daisies.

That's The Way You Need It

I know that in today's modern age of enlightenment, blasé current events, and cultural cynicism, this may seem like a trite and old-fashioned tradition, but under the given circumstances, it seems more than appropriate to make New Year's resolutions. And, in thhe spirit of accountability (I've tried keeping them solely by myself in the past, but that didn't work out so well), I will share my own resolutions in order to help me see my way to following through with them.

1.) While in Europe, I learned just a smattering of Hungarian. I resolve to use what little HUngarian I know appropriately in everyday conversation.

2.) For that matter, learning any non-English language is a positive experience, and I resolve to either learn the basics of a language I'm unfamiliar with, or the become more proficient with a language I already know.

3.) I resolve to learn at least one "real" dance.

4.) I resolve to learn the fundamentals of at least one instrument I've never played before.

I have also decided that I am a firm believer in mixtapes.
