Yeah, hi again. It's been about 4 and a half months. I get to lazy with this account, it's sad, really.

High School is ok, mid terms went fine. Starting the ramp up to finals now, which should go ok as well.

My camera is broken! Yeah, that happened this morning actually, there's something wrong with the lens. We're going to get it sent off to Canon Canada, and it's under warranty, so it'll be fine. I just hope it's back in time for Italy, which is this summer!

Also of note, we went to Calgary and Las Vegas over Easter. It was awesome, I'll post some pictures of this later. There'll be more of a description of what I did there with the pictures; I don't want to clog up my journal too much. However, I'll highlight some things.
Calgary was really fun. My Mom was there on buisness, so it was mostly my Dad and I hanging out. We went mainly to Banff National Park with my Aunt and cousins. It's right in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, so I got a lot of experience with landscape photography.
Las Vegas was just frakking (cough) awesome. We stayed at the MGM Grand, "The Green Monster." We also rented a 2010 yellow camaro! Really comfy, actually. We were out walking a lot, and we also went to the Hoover Dam. I stood in the same spot that Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox stood! I feel special >:D

About that cough, after my Dad and I finished Star Trek, all 7 seasons, we moved onto Battlestar: Galactica.
WOW.
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW.
IT. IS. SO. COOL. Character, sets, atmosphere, story, long-term arcs (!!!), it all comes together to make the best show I've ever seen. We've just started season 3, and it's still awesome.

My writing's gone well too. I had this English creative project last month, were you could do any art form you wanted. I did a prequel to a story that I wrote back in Grade 8, and re-wrote in Grade 9. I'm planning on turning the entire thing into a novel series at some point. Once I link the two stories together properly, I *will* be posting it here. I might post some other thing's from it as well, but not a lot from this...series-thing will go up here. All in all, it sort of feels like my writing's taken off, which I feel good about.

Speaking of books, I finished the Twilight series! Sweet mother of crap!
The first book honestly had the potential to be a good book. Besides the lack of plot, the tacked on ending, and the beginnings of the horrible relationship between Edward and Bella, it honestly wasn't that bad. Oh, ingnoring the overuse of adverbs as well.
New Moon, at some points was better, and at other points was horrifically worse. Any scene that Jacob was in was better, because we actually get to see Bella operate like a normal human being. One chapter in particular was my favorite in the whole series, and I found almost nothing wrong with it at all.
Eclipse was worse. It felt a little more complete plot wise, but the vampires are so *stupid* sometimes, mainly with the issue of Victoria. The fight also sucked; we get a 3rd person description from Boring-ward. However, it appears that the director for the Eclipse movie is actually doing the big battle, so props to this guy!
Breaking Dawn - holy CRAP. Considering the fact that there are people who *love* the first three books, then refuse to acknowledge the fourth as part of the series, you know it's bad. There was almost nothing good about this book. The only, and I mean the *only* good things in the book *at all* were Seth, Leah, and Emmett. That was it.
In conclusion, Twilight sucks. The end.

I also got an Xbox! :D Halo is awesome. No arguments, the graphics, gameplay, multiplayer, voice work, characters, story, history, backstory, music, and overall fun come together to create the best game I've ever played. I participated in the Halo:Reach beta as well - it's going to be awesome. EBGames says the tenative date is September 1st, which is a lot earlier than I expected. Also comming out soon is a Transformers game, War for Cybertron. It's in it's own continuity, which is really nice, I hope it goes well. Starcraft 2 is set for July 27th, which I'll be getting, but mainly for the campaign. I've never been a huge fan of multiplayer RTS, but Starcraft's story is really good. Also, there's World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. There's no release date yet, but I can do some guessing. The opt-in for the beta has just started, so I'll going to guess the beta is going to be during the summer. There's no way that Blizzard would release Starcraft 2 and WoW:Cat together; one would kill the other. I'd say we could except Cat to ship around the same time Wrath did, in the fourth quater, after Starcraft 2's sales start to dip. The only confirmed thing from Blizz is that it's definately comming out in 2010, so we won't have to wait too long whenever it decides to come out. Whatever date, I'm excited. Deathwing FTW. My Warcraft in general is doing good too, 2 80's, a 40-ish moving up the ranks, and my main is starting heroics!

Moving back to my writing, aside from the big book thingy I'm doing, I've also been trying to up my writing in general. One-shots and short stories are now my favorite things to do, and I always have some ideas bouncing around in my head. I've settled down with my writing, so I'm no longer nervous about it, I feel a lot more comfortable with just sitting down and writing. The sitting down is the hard part; either I have too many ideas, or I'm doing something else. Either way, I'm writing a lot more, and I'm happy.

Oh, right, dA changed itself! I'm ok with it, except for the fact that all the photos and stuff appear blurry for awhile when you first load them, and when you fullview them. Feels really laggy sometimes, but beyond that, I like it.

In other news, I saw Ironman 2 the other day. AWESOME. It's not as good as the first, but the margin is really, really small. If the first movie was a 10, the second is a 9.7. Epic, epic movie.
As for Transformers 3, I honestly can't wait. Transformers 2 was an attempted fan-movie. They didn't lay everything infront of you in a nice little understandable line, and I like that. There was a lot of stuff in there for the fans, some of it was hidden, too (Who else heard Sam say 'Sentinel Prime' in his rant?). Stuff like the entire idea of the Fallen was awesome too. They did go too far, though. While there was a lot more focus on the Transformers (awesome), there were so many that the characters themselves didn't get fleshed out (not so awesome). Contrary to popular belief, that *was* there in the first movie. It was sort of out of the way, but scenes like Ratchet and Ironhide shoving eachother around were there, and they were great. I hope they do it again in T:3. Keep the Transformers-focus of the second movie, but try and go back to the story and feeling they had in the frist one. Then it'll be perfect.

Anyway, I'll be posting some new pictures later, and probably re-organizing my deviations folder. The photography is ordered a little weird, so I'll be changing it around to make some more sense.

(Random Fact: I bet Solitare in 55 seconds! :D)

Yeahh...it's been awhile. Hi.

I seem to forget things a whole lot and move from fandom to fandom a little bit. So I've almost completely forgotten my dA the last month or so. Sorry.

High School has been *EPIC* lol fun with my friends, and I mean a whole lot. I'm one of those "neutral" people so it's impossible for me to get caught up in any dramam at all. The courses themselves...well, there are 2 that are awesome, and then the rest is pretty much crap. The next time I say I'm not going to get in Advanced Math because I think that Academic Math is also for really smart people, just less time consuming, someone *please* hit me with a computer. Or a car.

Oh right, almost forgot.
I GOT A CAMAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, not a new one, but that doesn't make it any less badass! 1978 Z28 Camaro. It's black. It looks like the Batmobile. And it is frigging EPICWIN. Pictures to be posted.

Also with pictures, I finally have a tripod, so my pictures might actually get better now.

Me and my Dad have been watching every single Star Trek: TNG episode from start to finish. We're somewere in season 5 now...and Data is just awesome. :P

In other news, I read Twilight!

It sucked!

A lot! :D

Yeah, it was garbage, and I'm planning to do a little review on it to explain why it was garbage. I always just through it was Meyer's overuse of adverbs [Greenly = STUPID WORD], until I got further into the book and realised it was much more than that. Might post the review/blog here later.

Also, I have figured out how to properly use a thesarus! If there's anything I'm thankful of Twilight for, it was the book pages of the book screaming at me "DO NOT OVER USE ADVERBS." Also, "TEENAGERS DO NOT USE WORDS LIKE 'irrevocably' OR 'stipulation'!!!!"
Because of this, I might be posting more stories, but most likely on fanfiction.net. If I do, I'll post the link here.

So...yeah. Besides that, not much has been happening. A all, really :/

Anyway, I'll most likely post a few of my newer (better) pictures later. :)

Uggggg. Back to the daily grind. Just started my first year of High School last week. To be honest, it's not that big of a change from Junior High at all. The school is ok, I know most of the people there, and my teachers seem nice. No massive ammount of homework yet, but I'm sure it'll come soon enough.
I've also gotten sick, seems like the cold. Blarg -_-

Been working on my camera skills lately, and I think I've improved. I've uploaded a few new photos, yay!

I've been working on my writing too, doing a Red vs Blue fic at the moment, and hopefully a larger Transformers one later....

NCIS premier tomorrow night, woot!!!

All in all, feeling a mixture of excitement/tiredness for awhile. Not really sure why, to be honest.

Oh, almost forgot, I got my first Transformers, ever! Sideways, Soundwave and Chromia, all 09 movie. Soundwave seems like the easier, but getting his legs pushed up to mold with his satelite mode required me to take them off -_-. Sideways was fairly easy once I figured out which side was up, and Chromia was sort of difficult, but I managed to get them all transformed after.

My Dad has gotten me hooked on Star Trek. Live Long and Prosper! Picard FTW! Wesely is irritating.

Last, but not least, if anyone has any ideas for places/items for me to take pictures of that would be good practice, please let me know! Any tips would be greatly appriciated :).

***NO Revenge of the Fallen Spoilers***

Yay, summer vacation!

Exams went well! Got really good marks, but that wasn't the number one thing I was excited for.

At 11:59PM, June 23th, I watched the midnight premier of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

IT.

WAS.

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ok, had to get that done :p

I was going to do up a lengthy review, but I decided against it. My several #1 Yay moment was Starscream's voice [G1 :D], Bumblebee going all mortal combat on some 'Cons, and Optimus taking on *three* 'Cons at once and being totally awesome, and my #1 Nay moment was the underwater scene where there were OCTOPUS.
I hate them.

Anyway, it was a VERY good movie, and I only really have 3 problems with it, 2 being connected. Once again, no spoilers.
1: The ending seemed very rushed. At the end of Transformer (07), you had conlusion, like Megatron being dropped into the ocean, Sector 7 being disbanded, Lennox going home to his family, and at the end, you saw all of the Autobots, Sam and Mikela. This doesn't happen at the end of Revenge, sadly.
2: My big problem with the 07 movie was that there wasn't enough Transformers. This movie is crawling with them. The only problem is, a lot of the Autobots didn't get a whole lot screen time, mainly Ironhide, Ratchet and Sideswipe.
2B: The Twins. At first, I loved them. They were funny, in my opinion. But they had *WAY* too much screen time. By the end of the movie, I hated them, because they sucked up so much time away from the other Autobots. I missed Ratchet so much in this movie.

Besides those little things, it was wicked. Jetfire ftw <3

Also to note, I bought the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game for PC, and it's really fun! :D

My vacation. I went to Myrtle Beach, SC, and Houston, TX. It was really fun. While I was there, my parents got me my birthday gift, a Canon PowerShot SX110 IS.
It is GODLY.

I've still got a few more pictures from the old Sony camera to upload, but I'll be putting up a bunch of ones from my trip soon!

SPRINGSTEEN WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is sort of late, but I've been really busy the past little while :p
Yeah, Bruce Springsteen was the most amazing concert I've ever seen. He played for 2 and 1/2 hours non-stop, then had a 45 minute encore. My ears hurt, but it was well worth it =D

My exams are comming up soon...June 15th to the 19th. The next few weeks are sure to be insane, studing and having teachers pile all of the last minute projects on you. Not fun.

My Stories...well there are a few :P

:bulletblue: My Huge story that has yet to be named. Still working out the plot on this one, I want to get it right.
:bulletblue: My World of Warcraft/Transformers story. This story moves at the same rate my Dranaei priest levels at, which is currently very, very slow. I might post the first bit of it on here later.
:bulletblue: My Roleplay backstory. My two main characters in the roleplay, Arwen and Starscream, go back a very long time. My initial idea was to just write a small backstory for them, detailing a few scenes, but I then had an idea to create an alternate timeline. The orginial, unaltered timeline will come first, which is what I'm working on now, followed by the altered timeline. [My excuse for the timeline = Nozdormu is bored :p]
:bulletblue: Transformers Fanfic. This is still in the ideas stage, but involves Transformers for sure, possibly some of the roleplay Transformers, humans [possibly from the TF Live Action Movie, or myself], and *possibly* NCIS. All of this orginated from an odd dream :p
:bulletblue: Animal story. Yet another weird dream, and from reading way to many LOLcat's. Just a random idea I might expand later.

Ok, I think that's all of them :P

I'm probably going to be a lot more selective with my photography now, instead of just dumping most of the good ones on dA.

And that's all for now :yawnstretch:
