...working on chemistry homework

Revising recent work on Shadow Child. I think it should be the shadow childs choice to be evil, and accept the power, instead of being overcome by Vermillion.

That to me, seems like a cop out. So I will fix it. :-)

Despite the fact that I am loving college life, the thought of joining the Marine corps. still drifts in the perhipharal of my mind. I think about Adventure (note capital A) and comradity... positive life experince, ect.

Anyhow I have a question for the more socially inclined. If a girl in your class invites you to her Birth day party, gives you her phone number and you blow her off.... and then she asks for your phone number twice in one class period (passing notes and such to arrange "study meetings") dose that mean she likes you....
I sure hope not. I already have a girlfreind. I don't want another.

Well, here i have returned, to Tallahassee.

I'ts been an enteresting weekend and my extended family, the ones i met, were extremely kind, if not down right admirable. They were pretty much all american folk; Work hard till the day you die, profit on the fruit of your labour and ingenuity, ect. It made me proud to share their blood.

Some of them, Uncle Mounroe, actually kind of looked like uncle sam in profile.

The scenory was idealic, arcadian farmland. And in the early morning, the light difueseing off the treeline and into the golden feilds, it was ... quite aesthetic.

I was afraid to go at first because I had heard rumours of some form of familal squable but now i realize that those are ubsubstantiated... at least now they are.

ANYHOW im back at college, and wishing I was earning a BS :-( But writing is what Im good at, and I do enjoy it. How much more so would I enjoy designing spacecraft, rather than fantasizeing about them is hard to say.

Im resolved now that if I get city of Villans, an interesting looking video game, I will be a cat person. I think that is one of the positive staples of Japanese animes, and in real life if someone could offer me a pair of cat ears i would be on board that train all the way.... or perhaps not.

But cat people are not snowflakes to the japanes culture... that is to say they are not uniqe to their fiction. You can see them crop up in American literature, in books like Wing commander or in C J Cheriahs Mankin series. But in all honesty wouldn't you rather be a cute anime style cat person?

Think about the Katarl Katarl from outlaw star.

If I could be a member of a cat peopel star empire, and be cute... well... I just would sign up for that right away ; or something. Wouldn't you? of course you would!

Although I am still hacking up various forms of mucus, I think the worst has passed. I had a very bad fever last night and for the past few days, breakfast was water and cold pills. Fantastic. I have various take home quizes and such.

I'll also be writing a paper on what the Germans did to the Herrero in South Africa.... with their maxim machine guns. gosh those Germans and their genocidal ways :-D

Shadow child will be posted soon. Im actually starting to take the writing serioustly with a ten page a day minimum. Well ten pages allowing for other work. I shouldn't like it if I flunked a college course just to get published. that would be terrible.

anyhow here is an excerpt from shadow child. just a small one but one to wet your appetite until a major post.

*******************
Finally, she saw what the other had driven her north for. It was north of Lui a vast expanse of fallen trees. The trees looked knocked over, as if a wanton child had kicked them down. On the outskirts of this narled woodland treaded gigantic shadows. Some of them were as tall as houses, and they moaned deeply as they passed amongst the dead trees. “This is your legacy,” Vermilion said quietly within her mind. She moved forward out into the open, half afraid these gigantic shadows would consume her as the ones in the dream had.

They stopped. The Shadows starred a moment before stepping aside and taking a knee. They made unearthly cries to each other , and soon more arrived taking their places next to those monsters that had already knelt before her. A part of Amelia, the one that was still Ciams brother wanted to flee this place and never return, but it was to late for that. She knew that if she turned back the creatures would fall on her, and feed. Now they were subservient, perhaps because they sensed Vermillion, perhaps because they knew what she was to become. What she was to become, the thought frightened her but still she pressed on; clinging to life or what would be left of it.

as she passed each dark unliving giant rose to its feet. The smaller ones followed her darting about the skeletal trees while the larger ones lumbered behind. Untill she found a great depression in the ground. It looked like a crater only polished and tiled. One of the smaller shadows, a man sized one with milky eyes steped in front of her so suddenly she almost let out a cry. It gestured slowly, that she should descend.

Vermillion was silent for all of this. Had he been holding counsel with these creatures? How intimately did he know them. “ I made them, “ he said. “They were my soldiers once, they still are…. They will be yours, too.”
**********************
For the person that the villan is named after, more of a victim turned villan if you ask me, this is not biographical. Obviously. This is where the Shadow child gets the army you don't see through most of the book, it's wear she reawakens the power of the other world.

Oh well going to go hack up some more of my lungs. :-D or lay down or something.

I can't wait till thanksgiving.

I have so much to discuss, it's unreal. Well Im late putting up the shadow child stuff, but with the coming weekend it should be up soon. Also today in class I had what could, akwardly enough, be called a BrokeBakc Moutain experience. I told one of my freinds that I thought my fly was open. He asked me why I was telling him and I joked, in response that I thought he would close it for me. It was a joke but the look on his face spoke volumes of akward discomfort.

Fourtantley I'm not gay. Not like there is anything wrong with that though. But I just happen to like women. Anyhow back to work I have class In a litle bit... with my girlfreind.

As promised, by the end of the night, there will be a huge post featuring Shadow Child. Odly enough a lot of it has to do with the Shadow Child. So, by midnight my time... or perhaps a few hours later than that, I will put a chapter or two for the enjoyment of my best little freind. Don't wait up. :-)

as it will be password protected but you allready know the code.
