Erm, well, day to day, pretty much. Write, eat, roleplay, sleep, repeat. Nothing really important.
2. Why do you live?
I hate to sound pathetic here, but I live for my friends, and my beloved. Death became my worst fear because of how close I became to those I meet.

4. Define mistake.
Something not meant to happen. Something you would do anything to change.
6. Define fear.
Ah, joy, my favorite thing~ Fear is what haunts you as you lay asleep in your bed, it's that feeling you get, that feeling of paranoia. That pure euphoria that envelopes you when you watch a scary movie, or walk down a dark hallway alone.

1.Tell me an anecdote about a time you cried.
How could this be? How could she have left me like this? Why was she taken from me?
These questions attacked me as I sent message after message to her cell phone. She had to answer, she had to give me some form of sign that she was alive!
Before I knew it, my hand had stopped, and tears began to pour down my face.
"No,"I sobbed. "Sh-she's just...Sleeping! Yeah...O-or sh-she lost her ph-phone..."Desperately, I tried to rationalize what was happening.
I waited, for hours, crying on and off before I finally dragged myself to bed and fell asleep. I was woken up by mother, who told me to listen to a message on the answering machine.
It was her! She was sobbing, telling me to call, text, something! I raced for the phone first, and after calling a couple of times, I went online. Now, I was crying...Because I was happy.
Won't do a second one for K, because I have no other stories to tell. D:

2. Chapters.
Ah...Ending one section of life and moving onto another. Or perhaps, a reminder to finish Awakening. .___.
4. Our world's falling; pick it up?
There's no way we can pick up the falling pieces of the world. It is our destruction. Our cause.
I'm going in for the kill. I'm doing itfor the thrill.I'm hoping you'll understandand not let go of my hand.
How? To give you a very simple and straightforward answer, I do not live in the moment like most people. Then again, I don't particularly like planning things out. I'm a huge procrastinator, and it often shows. I'm always a bit lazy, reluctant, and short-tempered, among other things. I'm sort of in between. It's really hard to explain. I take what comes at me, and I don't prepare for it at all.
4. When do you live?
To be frank, I don't live in the twenty-first century. Let me clarify. Physically, yes, I do. Mentally and emotionally I live in the distant future. Yes, you heard me. You're probably wondering how I can live in a time period or era that hasn't occurred yet. That's very understandable. My friends still ask me that very same question, even now. And I always give them the same answer every time, even if it is a bit vague. "I'm a dreamer," I always say. "I dream of a positive, fulfilling future for humanity. I dream in the present in order to make a difference in the future. And so can you. All you need is some insight and effort. You can inspire a generation. I believe one person really can change the world." Yes, I know, I'm an extravagant visionary. Anyway, my mind is never cluttered or caught up in the issues of today, it's always looking toward and envisioning the future. As far back as I can remember, not a single moment comes to mind when I felt like I truly belonged. I remember in second grade, I used to space out during physical education class, thinking of some new invention I'd come up with. I remember in fourth grade, my best friend and I started a neighborhood club about space science and technology. (We didn't recruit too many people. XD) I remember when I first became obsessed with outer space, and the overall study of the universe. Even today, the only topics on my mind are astronomy, astrology, and Star Trek. So yeah. I guess you could call me a "future girl."
4. Define mistake.
Mistake. An error or fault resulting from defective judgment, deficient knowledge, or carelessness. A misconception or misunderstanding. We've made a great many mistakes in our lifetimes, after all, we're only human. When it boils right down to it, nobody's perfect. Making a mistake is one of the many ways humans learn and grow. And you know what? We cannot live without learning, nor can we learn without living. And in order to live life to the fullest, sometimes we must learn things the hard way. I know we all have. For some us, the biggest mistake we've ever made is forgetting to feed the dog, or stealing a cookie, even neglecting to finish our homework. Others may have made even larger mistakes, mistakes that have in fact ruined their childhood, or even their entire lives. I speak from experience. I made one of those larger mistakes a long time ago. Six years, to be exact. Six years may not seem like a long time to some of us, but if you're someone as young as I am, six years can seem like an eternity. Sometimes I wish it were an eternity ago. Sometimes I wish I had never said what I said in the first place. I mean, don't we all? We all look back on mistakes and say, "Gosh, I wish I'd never said or done those things at all." Of course we do. It's that nagging, ever-present human emotion of regret. I still feel that emotion, even to this day. It will never disappear. Why? My mistake was one of the worst mistakes a person could ever make. It cost me my childhood and my adolescence. It is a mistake I will never forget. It is a mistake that has changed my life forever. It is a mistake that will haunt me for all time. But I have learned something in those six years. I have learned to pick myself up every time I fall, and keep marching on.
6. Define fear.
Fear is the feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger. It is a state or condition caused by the emotion of fear. It is a feeling of disquiet or apprehension. For many people, in your own country and the world, it is the feeling of dread, mortal terror, and impending doom. Fear can be caused by trifle disturbances, yet it can also be caused by truly horrifying and frightening occurrences. I have lived through several terrible episodes and instances of fear, all due to the fact that I was truly in serious danger. I will admit, I have gone through many fearful experiences in my life, some of which are probably too disgusting to even mention on Evelon, so I'll refrain from delving into the more serious topics. But the point is this: to be afraid is to be human. As I've stated before, emotion is just one more free gift that comes with the expensive package of life, and fear is an emotion. Fear is an emotion that has and will continue to come into play throughout our lives. We cannot help but experience it. After all, we aren't Vulcans. We can't just meditate our emotions away. We have to deal with them. Because emotions are part of what makes you, well, you. Fear is something that will always remain, even after we've reached adulthood, and even retirement. Fear is an emotion, an emotion we cannot live with, and an emotion we cannot live without.
1. Tell me an anecdote about a time you cried.
It was a warm and sunny day, approximately five and a half years ago. Clouds were nonexistant, birds were chirping, and the flowers were in full bloom. Outside, the sounds of children playing happily in the grass boldly stated the arrival of spring. But inside my cramped, tiny condominium, it was a different story. My mom and I were sitting on our little beige sofa in front of the television, worried. I was only nine years old. I was confused. I didn't want to leave my mom's house, but I knew I had to go. "It's the law," the attorney had told me, "you have to go visit your dad." That was the day before last, at that one building that smelled like cardboard air freshener. Defiant and gramatically advanced for someone of my age, I replied with a sour twinge to my voice. "I cannot believe that you unevolved monkeys feel the need to talk down to me. Do I look unintelligent?" That got me a glare from my father, and a pursing of the lips from his lawyer. Now here I was, refusing to leave the safety of my mom's house, all while my father would not discontinue his incessant rapping and banging on our front door. So my dad called my mom and demanded to talk with me. He told me he'd gotten me a bunch of new toys and surprises at the new house, including a bunk bed with dark blue sheets, my favorite color at the time. Being the young child that I was, I succumbed easily to the temptation of trivial things. I was so trusting. I wish I could still say I was, but sadly trust is a thing of the past for me. I've never known anyone in real life to actually keep a promise, and I know I'm not the best at it either. But more importantly, I was gullible. I guess those sorts of things were just in my nature, I dunno. Anyway, I got into his car, backpack and pillow in hand, and watched my mom in the driveway. She was tearing up, I could tell, but she was trying not to show it. I knew I would be back to see her soon, though I didn't know exactly when. "Soon," everyone kept telling me, "you'll see your mom again soon."
That night, I just couldn't seem to concentrate on reading my latest science fiction novel. I put the book down, buried my face in a pillow, and began to cry.
4. Tell me an anecdote about a time you succeeded.
1. Dodge a bullet for a friend?
Yes and no. It would depend entirely on the circumstances. For example, let's say my friend and I are secret agents. Our mission is to stop evildoers from implanting a bomb somewhere that could blow up half the planet. If one of the villains points a gun at me and fires, well...
Let's just say this. Earlier in the week our boss paid us a visit, and said that the bomb was hidden inside one of us. But neither us or the "bad guys" knew which one. If the gun was pointing at me, and the bomb was actually inside me, I'd have no choice but to dodge and let my friend take the bullet. That way, I wouldn't be dead and the bomb wouldn't have gone off. Logical, right? And a bit selfish, but still. Plus I'd have to figure out an escape route before the villains realized they'd shot the wrong person. XD
Now, let's switch the scenario around. The bomb's inside my friend, but the gun's still pointing at me. If and when he fired, I wouldn't dodge. I'd take the bullet, and wish my friend good luck. If I died, I'd have died for a good cause. I would have died saving the world. And you know what they say. (Or someone, for that matter.) The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
So the answer for me is still yes and no. Yes if my friend had no other choice but to die, but die for a positive cause. No if I was the one meant to die, still for a positive cause.
I'll bet you all thought I'd forgotten about this thing, huh? ;3 S'not the case~ I realize that it's been more than half a year. XD;; Oops. That's due to some unforeseen delays and advanced procrastination on my part.
Finally, though, it's done. =3 Prizes will go out for S, K, and L+ first. I'll try to get all the PMs out tonight, but my parental controls are beyond the seventh circle of Hades and will do everything in their power to prevent that. I'll try, though. =3
Now. If I screwed up--which I did, I'm sure--please, PLEASE let me know. If you entered a section but didn't receive and appropriate prize, TELL ME. I have no intention of screwing anyone over, but there's a lot of math involved and I'm very tired. oDo;;
YOU MAY: - change the names/backstories/genders/whatever of the pets you receive or keep their current ones - sell/auction/trade the pets you receive ACCORDING to the rules of the specified user
YOU MAY NOT: - claim ownership of the characters if you decide not to change the names/backstories. You may own Billy Joe Francis the Lucain, but I'm still the one who created the character. Just... don't be surprised if Billy Joe Francis shows up somewhere in the future, reincarnated as a Meowth. ( ^ me being paranoid. kthnx.)
...Uh, yeah. XD;; That's...it? For now. =3 If you have an questions or complaints, take it up with me via this board, please. I'll do my best to get it sorted out. <33
Woahdang, here I was thinking this would never get updated because Terri had vanished.
Terribuuuuuuuug *smooshes you to cute little pieces* I hope your PMs work.
I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser). I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)! I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby). I'm so fly That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!
I'm so green (it's really amazing). I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)! I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)! It's so strange I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!
Yesh I did forget But. . . Terri! How you been Missing ya Hope you get some time to get on more often If so Send me a PM, we should RP! Love your pets Thank you so much! I'm so happy, she's my first Lucain What was all the prizes you could have won?
We're waiting every night To finally roam and invite Newcomers to play with us For many years we've been all alone
Terri is cool! I hope you didn't mind giving out all those awesome pets! I'm only trading mine because I already had one...
Crossing my heart Open wide You're my crystal and clover All of me Honestly Is dedicated to hold you
Swear to God Double knot What would you do if I stole you tonight? (Ahh ahh) Why waste time? (Ahh ahh)
'Cause the world goes on without us It doesn't matter what we do All silhouettes with no regrets When I'm melting into you 'Cause I belong in your arms I belong in your arms
Pffft, you thought merely vanishing could stop the Great and Powerful Terri? What a ridiculous notion. ;D
Glad I made your day, Haunt. =)
Gray, that's fine. I didn't expect those sorts of pets to be kept around; just a little extra KS for you sometime, perhaps?
And now, on to business.
CONCERNING LOOCAYNZ. read plz.
I myself have no restrictions for breeding--I don't care what happens to them anymore, I relinquish all ties to their pixels. However, the people I bought them from, or perhaps who own their descendants, probably have some restrictions. And, to be perfectly blunt, I refuse to go to the trouble of PMing every single person to remind me of the restrictions. @o@;; It's been a while, people. I forget these things.
So! I've compiled a Nifty List of Awesome to let you know who to contact concerning breeding/trading/whatnot. Listen to their rules, kplz. Even if they tell you never to breed. If you can't agree to the restrictions, give me back the Lucain and I'll give it to someone else.
Got it? Good.
Nifty List of Awesome Alkaline -- no restrictions Belker -- Zein Duat Candison -- no restrictions Corateal -- Zein Duat Demne -- Shrewdberry Drealt -- Shrewdberry Dripdry -- Zein Duat Elphaba -- ToxicShadow Enfin -- Shrewdberry Fiir -- Baal Babeh, refer to those rules Item -- Shrewdberry Mouette -- Shrewdberry Nyala -- no restrictions Payce -- Zein Duat Renae --Zein Duat Rizen -- Draiz Setter -- Shrewdberry (Coviell line, I think?) Shane -- Zein Duat Tapioca -- Zein Duat Tesra -- Baal Babeh, refer to those rules
All prizes for S, K and L+ have been sent out; let me know if you entered any of those categories but didn't receive a prize.
I know the contest is over, I just felt like answering the questions anyway because I'm bored.
R Why do you live? :I live to protect my friends and little brother, even if he doesn't want me to. I also live to discover what I've done wrong in my past life and to do my best to fix those problems. I live to show the world that every life is precious and I am worth something afterall. I live to prove my brother wrong. S 6 Define fear: Fear is only a misconception of reality, something there but not there at the same time. Fear is standing back and letting others take the lead. Fear is giving in and giving up. Fear is something that once hindered me but no longer does, for I will not allow it. Fear is destructive and consuming, it will not stop until it destroys you inside and ruins your mind and sense of self. Fear is this that I seek to destroy once and for all. Define empathy: Something that I wish my brother would direct towards me. Just once. L+ Dodge a bullet for a friend?: Why dodge? Take it instead after all why should they die? I say jump in the way, after all we all have to die someday so I figure that I rather die trying to save someone's life than in a hospital bed all alone.
