    Oh, man. I really don't know where to begin. I guess I'll just begin where all of this crap started. Note that I had gone through a very difficult move less than a year ago when this began. I had just gotten over it about 5 months beforehand.

    In October of 2007 (about 16 months ago) my Mom got a phone call from a relative saying that my great-grandfather had a stroke and he was in the hospital. His entire right side was paralyzed, but he was expected to very gradually get better. This shocked me a bit when I heard it, but I was relieved that he was expected to get better over a long period of time. I was initially upset, but thought "He'll get better." and I stopped thinking about it.

    Fast-forward to next month. We get another phone call saying that my grandpa has terminal brain cancer and is expected to live about 9 months from diagnosis. This really upset me, because there was going to be a death, and it wasn't supposed to be too far off either.

    Now we're in December. My other great-grandfather is having trouble with his kidneys, but is doing okay overall. However, we're having to keep a close eye on him just in case. I'll get back to him later. For now... remember the great-grandfather with the stroke? Well, we get a call on Christmas saying that he died that morning. I was extremely close to him, and I was very shaken up by his death.

    Moving right along into February. The great-grandfather with the kidney trouble passes away. Fortunately, I wasn't close to him (I'd seen him maybe twice in my life) but going to the funeral was still upsetting, and I have a tendency to "absorb" the general mood around me. Considering everyone else was torn apart by his death, that didn't make things easier for me. Note that we're almost half-way through grandpa's nine months (I was keeping very close track of this).

    Okey-dokey, it's April now. My great-grandmother had been in the hospital for a few weeks because the levels of certain medication were too high in her blood. The pill she was taking was twice the size of what it said on the label. While she was in the hospital, she contracted one of those hospital infections you can get when there are just a few germs left over from when they last cleaned it (the hospital, by the way, was horrible. They were feeding her the wrong kinds of food, they didn't change her sheets on a regular basis, they didn't even clean up blood spills). She eventually died from the infection.

    Let's recap: two great-grandfathers and one great-grandmother, plus a grandfather with a non-curable brain tumor. Lovely. It's been six months.

    Fast-forward a few months into early August. My grandpa with the tumor is still alive, which is a real blessing. But my great-uncle went into his sister's apartment to see her, and found her dead on the couch with a bottle of Vodka next to her. That marks four deaths in less than a year.

    My grandpa with the tumor is not doing very well. He's becoming irrational, unable to move easily, basically just experiencing neurological symptoms. And I found out just a couple weeks ago that another great-uncle has skin cancer. The cancer has metastasized to lymphatic system, so it won't be going away easily at all.

    I really needed to vent this. I also think I'm depressed, because things I used to deeply love and have a wonderful time doing (i.e. soccer) I'm really starting to hate (for instance, we had a tournament this past weekend, and every minute I was in a game, I was wishing I was at home doing something - anything - else. I came close to crying in the middle of one of the games because I was so miserable. I actually had more fun sitting on the bench than playing in a game.) I can't remember the last time I felt really, truly happy. Yeah, I've laughed some and been in a good mood, but I've never really been happy, if that makes sense (probably not, I'm not very good at explaining how I'm feeling :\) And in case you're wondering, I'm not suicidal. I have absolutely no desire to kill myself I do think about suicide (I don't actually think about killing myself, just thinking about the whole idea of suicide, and death in general) and it sends chills down my spine every time I think of it, so I think that's good.

    I just really needed to rant about this. It's been in my system for a long time, and I needed to get it out.

    Because I did something very wrong. I'll tell you what I did.... *takes deep breath*

    I DIDN'T EAT IN THE KITCHEN.

    Oh, the shame of it!!! How dare I not eat in the kitchen!! What was I thinking?!?! I don't know how I can live with myself knowing I did that!!

    :silence:


    Anyway, my punishment is no forum for two weeks. :crybaby:

    I will be back on as soon as possible. If I haven't come back after two weeks, you can assume that I've died from lack of KHV.

    I had to do a writing project for school to get into a writing class I really want to be in. I'm not supposed to have to do a writing project unless I'm signing up for above my age group, which I'm not, but what the heck. I won't bore you guys with the report unless you really want to see it. But I will tell you guys my tragic sob story about it.

    Okay, I have to do a writing report. I think "Why not do this on Kingdom Hearts?" I look at the rules, which are:

    1. Lines must be double spaced.
    2. Paper must be between 1.5 pages and 5 pages long.
    3. Paper must be typed on computer.

    I think, "Ok, I can do that!" So, I get to work.
    Mood: :)

    I plan on writing an outline on all three games, but sort of mashing it into one outline (so I wouldn't be saying something like "Now, the second game picks up right when...") I'm nearing the end of CoM, and want to take a break So, I reread the rules to make sure I don't miss anything.
    Mood: :eek:

    I rush back to my paper, and realize that halfway down my fourth page, I haven't even finished CoM yet. I haven't even written my opening or conclusion yet. So unless I can fit KH2 into 1/16 of a page, I have a problem. So I decide to just do a detailed outline of the first game. Another problem: My outline for the first game isn't very detailed. So I must start almost completely over in order to write a decent paper.
    Mood: :yelling:

    Being the positive person that I am, I decide to focus on the "almost" part of that last sentence. "Come on girl, it's not that bad! Look, you get to keep the first... *counts lines* umm *recounts lines* the first 2 lines for your paper! See, it's not so bad!"
    I get to work on my new paper and am almost done in a little over an hour.
    Mood: :rockdover:

    Like I said, I won't bore you with the report unless you really want to see it because, like I also said, it's only an outline of the first game. Just thought I'd post this, because looking back I find it mildly amusing. You may or may not, I don't know.

    I thought this up a couple days ago, but never got around to posting it lol. Anyway, the storyline is that Organization XIII takes a vacation to Hawaii, but shortly after their plane lands, Sora and comapany arrive! What will become of the Organization's vacation now?

    Here are the rules:

    1. No swearing, please. Let's keep this clean.
    2. No yaoi/yuri, and keep everything Pg-13
    3. No killing anyone's character without their permission.
    4. Please, please, PLEASE use proper grammar/punctuation/spelling! It drives me crazy when a senctence that's supposed to be written like this:

    Person A walked into the room and saw Person B. "You're not supposed to be here," he said coolly.

    Is written like this:

    person a waled into teh room and sawed person b. your not suposed 2 be here. he said cooly.

    If you're not sure how to spell a word, then Google it to find the correct spelling.
    I'm not saying you guys can't make a few mistakes here and there, but you do need to pay attention to who what you're typing.
    5. Please observe the rules! If I see anyone excessively breaking the rules, I will take you off this list.
    6. Alright, now that all that stuff's done..... HAVE FUN!!!!

    You can have up to two people, but no more than that.

    EDIT: How do you like that? I tell y'all not to misspell words, and what do I do? I type "proper" as "prper" How very clever of me.

    In case you guys haven't noticed (not being rude!), I've been gone for a while. Why? None of your business :p Let's just say that my schedule has changed drastically since I first joined. Some of you may have noticed that my signature said "Zexion Month" not only in June, but through July and into August :D I won't completely abandon you guys, I'll be on here as much as time allows, but I won't be on here all the time, and there will probably be big periods of time where I haven't been on at all. So if my sig says "Axel Month" for the next 2 1/2 months, you know why XD. If this is in the wrong spot, someone please move it!

    Ok, this is my first RP, so I'm not sure how well this will work.

    Vexen had gone through the basement and used all sorts of junk to try and make a gaming machine. Wanting to see if it worked, he inserted Axel's FireRed game into a little slot on the side, the rest of the organization watching. The machine clicks, and eats the game. There is a whirring of gears, and a blinding flash. Everyone blacks out. When they wake up, they have all turned into pokemon.


    Here is the form you need to fill out:

    Character:
    Pokemon you turned into:
    Moves:
    Level:

    Here are the characters:

    Xemnas:

    Axel: Tacole - Infernape
    Demyx: *dancewaterdance* - Blastoise
    Luxord:
    Marluxia: Jordier0xs0x - Bulbasaur
    Larxene: swordser2 - Pikachu
    Roxas: AnimeGirl104 - Absol

    Rules:
    1. No god-modding
    2. No killing
    3. Try to make your pokemon the same type as your character
    4. No legendary Pokemon
    5. The highest level you can start out as is level 50, but you can level up in the story.
    6. The usual 4 moves. When you grow a level, you can learn a new move, but make sure it's a move your pokemon can learn.


    Character: Demyx
    Pokemon: Blastoise
