My Lenore

I am from linen sheets misted over with lavender and chamomile
I am from adults who never grew up
I am from a family that shouts loudly in French
I am from Tristram, the first to fall to Diablo's reign
I am from the forest after a rain storm
I am from lilac petals soaring across my vision
I am from spiders that glide across the ceiling
I am from my memere's laugh across the telephone
I am from the age-old pages of a novel
I am from crepes with real smooth Canadian maple syrup
I am from fishing with my dad on a sun bathed lake
I am from my Cuban Uncle who deftly strums his guitar
I am from an undying loyalty
I am from a shining city at night
I am from hot cocoa after an active day in the snow
I am from the raven nevermore

So, good songs:

The Twelfth of Never by Jonny Mathis
Time of the Season by The Zombies

Andddddd um. That's it maybe? I'm also coming to terms admitting to myself that I like this person, but it's hard. I've really been trying to avoid realizing it. Life is so tough for Leala. Wah.

WANG CHUNG.

I am in love with Kate Gurney.

Well, in the most heterosexual and non intrusive way possible. XD

We get along really well. At least, I think so. She's so cool. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get along with her before I met her, because I didn't go to school and wouldn't get to see her a lot. But we talk on AIM and she's so cool!

I think she's an awesome addition to our group. *nods*

Maybe I shouldn't bother having a birthday party at all.

I mean, I know people have things to do, but it's the last time I'll see everyone for a while, and I just wanted to know everyone cared about me, I guess. It's stupid, really.

Way too emo right now.

I want to be a patissier. I really, REALLY, want to be a patissier.

Still don't know what I'm going to do for my birthday. I think my parents might be planning to pay for the aquarium thing for everyone, but I haven't talked to them about it.

On my actual birthday, I want to go to this butterfly conservatory with memere. She took me there when I was younger, and I want to see it again. I don't even really know what I want for my birthday. I'll have to work it out, I guess. Besides a new computer, I don't have any big things I want.

Oh, my life is so hard. XD

I just read this really cool article about medieval superstitions. Check it, yo.

Youtube surfing, as usual. I found this amazing video of Jascha Heifetz playing the best Paganini's Caprice no.24 on the violin that I've ever heard or seen. The technical aspects of this song are AMAZING. Watching this guy play is incredible.

So, I'm dying for the sims3 to come out. I had originally thought that the graphics hadn't improved much, but the more I see of the game the more I understand how much time they put into improving the graphics.

One new feature of the game is that in order to give your sims more individuality, you can give them up to 5 personality traits. Since I had free time, I created characters for me and mah homeg's. I used everyone's middle name instead of first, because I like it better XD. We're all a lot alike, so I had to leave out some traits for some people and add on different ones.

Maree (My sim)
-materialistic
-brave
-couch potato
-artistic
-inapropriate

Neala (Shanti)
-Artistic
-flirty
-lucky
-perfectionist
-vegetarian

Allison (Marissa. I think Allison's her middle name, anyway.)
-athletic
-friendly
-lucky
-loves the outdoors
-absent minded

Louise (KC. Again, I THINK this is her middle name.)
-party animal
-mooch
-natural cook
-daredevil
-dislikes children

Katie. I don't know her middle name, but I think it's Allison as well.
-good
-neurotic
-clumsy
-great kisser
-neat

Aaron. I think his middle name is Michael, or something gay like that.
-genius
-perfectionist
-neat
-bookworm
-coward


Ok, so, these are all LOOSELY based on us. Soem traits I wanted to give to most of us, but I wanted to make us all different too. So, that's the way it is.
