Family, Furries

Well, for those who might not know, the Fruit Bat and I went home this weekend, it was good to see the family and sleep in my own bed again. (Bed... I love my bed... My roooomm... I love my rooomm...)

Exciting news on the family front, mine has just grown by two people! This is my shoutout to my new kid sister and kid brother, who shall for paranoia's sake go unnamed. We've officially adopted them now, the court day was today. I was sad that I couldn't be there, but they sent me some nice pictures.

Also, when I went home I got to see the kittens, I'm sure you can find the post on the kittens if you don't know what I'm talking about. Well, it turned out that Squall was a girl, Tighri and Leo are boys. Squall's been adopted by a family that Fruit Bat knows and I don't, so I didn't get to see her. Her name has been changed (twice), first she was Skitzadoodle, or "Skit", now she's "Piper". I didn't count on anyone keeping the names I called them by, so I'm not too upset. She'll always be Squall to me.

I did get to see Tighri and Leo, because I know the family that adopted them. It was extremely gratifying to see them so healthy and happy. Leo has perked right up, and is far more adventurous than his brother Tighri. Their names have also been changed, Tighri is now "Simon," and Leo is now "Garfield." A play on Simon and Garfunkle, or so I'm told. Their eyes have changed color too, but they wouldn't stay still long enough for me to tell what color they are now.

Another shoutout goes to the Squirt, who's band made it to finals in the Bands of America competition- which meant I didn't get to see her much this last weekend, but that's okay, I'm almost a band kid by association so I know how important it is to them. Squirt doesn't play an instrument by the way, she's in Color Guard, waving flags, leaping and cracking her knuckles on rifles. Squirt, that picture up top is the one I was telling you about, the original is by YoukaiYume on DeviantART, called Chrono Cross sketch. It took me a loooong time to get it all colored in paint, and then I had to fix Kid's skin, and I'm still not happy with the way it looks!

Deliciously Evil

I blame my speech class!

We've been told to give speechs that should persuade- thus I speak on VIDEO GAMES. Thus, I want to play Video Games- and as I cannot, I look at pictures/vids and whine.

And Rant, as it happens. Lucky you folks! You get to hear it!

Vulpecula's Villain Rundown.

Sephiroth- Final Fantasy VII

FACT- The one villain that makes me want to run screaming from a room when I have to fight him. Sephiroth is the villain that other villains are afraid of. He's such a fascinating character... it's like watching an exquisitely beautiful creature as it's stalking you... preparing to rip out your throat... but you can't look away!

I always feel ridiculously proud of myself when I beat him. In the Kingdom Hearts series, if I start feeling cocky, I go and fight him. My record is two minutes before he killed me.

Ramirez- Skies of Arcadia

I wish this kid had never been a villain. He really shouldn't have been- his mentor just happened to be crazy. I don't care if he's cold-hearted, shot at lifeboats or burned a city to the ground, I KNOW he's a sweetie underneath it all!

Albedo- Xenosaga

He's. Freaking. INSANE. I actually get mad when he talks. Albedo is like a rabid dog, chuckling on the foam coming out of his mouth. You really just want to shoot him and get it over with.

Lynx- Chrono Cross

I really don't care about his backstory- I simply hate his guts. If I get into his backstory, I start thinking about all these different things about how he might have been helping me out- and then I remember that demented smile as he stabbed my favorite character, and I realize that Harle was right. Lynx believes he is Fate, and Fate just destroys the things that get in it's way.

Pope Zera- Grandia II

Talk about unexpected! The kindly old man who sends you on your quest is all crazy and destructive! Seriously, try to guess from the first conversation you have with him that something is up. Not possible. Zera holds a special place of loathing in my heart, his job was to give the people hope and teach them about their god, instead, he submits to despair and tries to destroy the world. Nice. Real nice.

Kuja- Final Fantasy IX

He's a crossdresser. Kuja is a vain, irritating jerk, who tried to kill his baby brother by pushing him out of an aircraft. Strangely, I was still upset when he died... though that's probably due to Zidane's unbelievably understanding nature. And the fact that he did save my characters.

Emilious- Grandia III

*GAGS*- This game's characters were somewhat nauseating, but Emiloius just made it worse. He sounded like some cheesy villian from a Sailor Moon episode- seriously. He made a point of saying things like, "Love is weak," "I will cover the world in Darkness..." And then he goes and changes his mind because of his baby sister Alfina- who looks susupicously like Sailor Moon, and gets himself killed trying to stop the just-as-annoying-Xorn.

Ansem- Kingdom Hearts

"Ansem" was fun to fight- it was challenging, his character design was pretty cool, so was his voice. I was happy that he annoyed me to the point where I felt incredibly vindicated at seeing him disappear. I mean, he posessed Riku, created the Heartless, and he kept calling Sora stupid. No one is allowed to call my characters stupid but me.

I Will Prevail

*cough*

Yep, I'm sick. I knew it was going to happen. You want to know how I knew? It's because Halloween is this weekend therefore, my body feels the need to spoil all my fun. Not to mention everybody and their dog is catching the flu over here. I've only had the flu once if I remember correctly, and I can't tell the difference usually. Needless to say I'm still going home for the week-end. I don't care if I'm throwing up my stomach and liver. I. Am. Going. Trick-or-treating. With. My. Friends. And. Watching. Horror. Movies.

It's just a cold. At least I hope it is. All I have is a small cough, a stuffy nose, and I'm sleepy. That had better be the extent of it. I'm going to make sure that I eat healthy foods! That way I can hopefully get better or at the very least not worse.

Eh.

Tis' Homework Time

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! I am posting again!!! JA!!! :D

I just got back from the store. I HAD to go buy some water because San Angelo water makes me sick. Not to mention it's just plain nasty. I only drink it if that's all there's is, and I am too lazy to go to the store. I was very pleased to find gallon jugs for only 64 cents so I bought three of them. YAY!

I also got some organic cheese raviolis. They are so freakin' good! So are the chocolate animal crackers I bought.

So last night I was up until 1am working on this research paper that I had to do. My teacher wanted at least five pages completed by today...or so I thought. Apparently it isn't due until Thursday. Ah well, it's done and I don't have to worry about it at all. Though I am slightly annoyed that I stayed up that late and stressed over it.

Why the pictures? Ha! I watched the first few episodes of Avatar again and I was amazed at how the characters acted compared to now. It amused me. Now I'm in the process of watching all the episodes of Avatar again. Plus the few that I haven't yet seen.

Feh.

Now I should attempt to finish my math homework before Vul and me go on our nightly ramble.

*stares at math book*

Why can't you do yourself?

Love Thy Blog

According to Magic my poor Fruit Bat blog hasn't been getting much love lately, therefore I am going to update on it everyday this week!!!! Don't believe me? Ha! You just wait and see. I might update twice a day!

Basically, I'm bored and I don't have too much to do this week aside from a research paper. It should be easy to update this blog several times.

For those of you that didn't know my birthday was Friday. Yep. I got to go home and invite my people's over for a small birthday party in which we gorged on fruit, ice cream, cake, and pizza. Especially the fruit. We went to the store specifically to buy some fruit and left with an apple, grapes, an Asian pear, vanilla ice cream, pumpkin ice cream, two chocolate bars, and chocolate syrup. Sad really.

We stayed up watching horror movies til' four in the morning. Let me rephrase that, only three of us stayed up til' four; Snicker Doodle, Luke, and myself. Magic and Ella went to bed early. Eh...I wished I had when morning came. Ah well. It was fun.

Saturday Magic and I went for a walk with Toboe-chan, Skippie, and Tippie and I managed to lose my garage door opener. This resulted in me having to break into the house so that we could leave the dogs and go look for it. Luckily, we found it back in the creek.

Later that day, after everyone went home, I went out to see Ariel who is completely and totally better thanks to M. I rode her for about ten minutes and my butt and legs are so sore now. All I did was walk and trot on her too! I suppose it's to be expected seeing in how I hadn't ridden in about two months. My muscles freaked.

The weekend was fun and I wish it hadn't ended.

...Could you repeat that?

Just a short post today for all my nonexistant readers- and the existant ones as well, I suppose.

Yesterday I went to a gathering of English Majors, and in traditional Bookworm fashion, we were instructed to stand up and recite our name, classification and favorite book/author/poem/poet. You could see the fear and confusion in the air- we had to CHOOSE?

I personally was suprised by my peer's selections- most of them seemed to be the old classics- I like some of the old classics, but for recreation, I prefer something new, usually with magic involved. But, moving on, the group came to a girl who told us all, flatly,

"I don't have a favorite book or author. I only read when people make me."

Say what?!

An English major, who doesn't like to READ?!! Blasphemy!!!

Strange, truly strange.

GREY!!!!

Last night my room mate informed me that I talk a LOT in my sleep. I laughed and explained to her that I was wondering when that would come up because I am well aware of that fact. My brother would tease me mercilessly about it. According to her, two weeks ago she came in and I was asleep. She heard me mumbling and was like,

"What the heck? Is she awake?"

She went towards my bed and I say up saying,

"Grey!"

Then I laid back down and continued to mutter.

I told her that it wasn't the first time and probably wouldn't be the last. I even tend to sing while I'm sleeping. My brother's heard me do it along with one of my friends. When I was little I slept walked around the house.

Ah well. I'll have to look it up later and see why I might do that.

Needless to say, now she wants hear me sing in my sleep. She says that she's going to video tape me and post it on YouTube.

*shakes head*

I'll never live this down.
