I really don't want to use names, but I needed to vent. You see, his girlfriend is an ass. She has said some things to him, that he has since shared with me, that disguste me beyond any recognizable belief. I want so much to slap her for how much she has hurt him with her words. But I can't. It's his battle... I can't fight for him in this, though I would love to be able to... If I had my way, she would be out flat on her pretty little ass in the freezing snow... GAH! Why do people have to be such idiots????????<br /><br />It doesn't help that I am already verrrry testy about all my midterms/projects.<br /><br />Grrr.<br />That's the only way to describe what's happening around me... <br /><br />GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:4527 2004-02-23T04:59:55Z 2004-02-23T04:59:55Z Part of Your World Hi everyone!<br /><br />Yesterday was Coronation. And our new Duke is Ashioten, the Dean of the magic school where I live. I bet he'll be a really, really good duke, and he even made Ce'dar, the old Duke, his regent. Thalese has no power at all now, and he's even undead, so I don't have to worry about him right now. Maybe one day I'll get him. Until then, I'm happy he's harmless, and suffering as an undead.<br /><br />The feast was fun, though kinda scary, cause there were 3 vampires running around. And the barbars were being sillier then usual, being very loud and rude. But Ce'dar asked me to sing for him, and Rowan to play her flute for him. We did a duet, to the song "Part of Your World", a mundania classic. Ce'dar told me I have a very nice voice. I was very proud of myself. Rowan plays the flute really, really well, better then I can play my recorder, or then Wunjo plays his tin whistle(Wunjo's a bard, and was named Court jester).<br /><br />Well, its late. Way past my bedtime. And I'm tired from all the dishes I did today.<br /><br />Bye for now!<br /><br />Finola urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:4250 2004-02-23T04:51:52Z 2004-02-23T04:51:52Z Hello!<br /><br />I am Jikarah, the eldest daughter of the Noiroki clan... the last daughter, I must sadly say, since no one else in my family lives. But I digress. I came here to speak about my Shire, the Shire of Ravenwing. We met today to discuss the possibility of leaving behind our nomadic friends, and settling down permanently. Brother Domi-sama is our sherrif, and has named me Regent, his right hand woman, so to speak. Minako-chan and Violet-chan have also volunteered to run in government.<br />We have chosen the site for our village, but we will remain with the nomads until spring. The dead of winter is no time to be striking off.<br /><br />I pray everything goes smoothly.<br />Until we meet again! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:3999 2004-02-23T04:46:48Z 2004-02-23T04:46:48Z Sorry, haven't updated in soo long... but I went home for a week, and its way too hard to update when my computer at home is on dialup for the internet.... huge sigh!<br /><br /><br />So, basically, nothing much has happened. I went job hunting last week, and that really sucked. I handed out about fifteen resumes. Hopefully I hear back from someone, otherwise its back to RMH for me... *shudder* telesales....<br /><br />I spent all day wed with one of my friends, and her little brother died his hair pink. And I helped him. I will admit, that was fun(well, the whole day was fun, but dying his hair a purple pink was certainly not what I was expecting).<br /><br />My cousin had her baby. She's a cute little girl, and her name's Isabella, but they are calling her Ella. She has tones of dark black hair. <br /><br />Coronation was yesterday. We chose a new Duke (voting) and his consort (running partner, basically) but more about that in Finola's Melodies (which is also late, and didn't happen). Oh, and Jikarah will be doing her own little "Melody" as well, seeing as I rped her last sunday.<br /><br />The Shire is almost ready to go. They will be starting in April. YAY! Hopefull, Brad and the others will have weapons by then.if not, oh well.<br /><br />That's about it for me.... once again, sorry for going to long without updating... oh well. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:3596 2004-02-09T14:22:22Z 2004-02-09T14:22:22Z So sick... again... I feel so drained. And have have SO much work to do, especially in English class...oh well. <br />Time to get back to work! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:3466 2004-02-08T07:22:54Z 2004-02-08T07:22:54Z Well, that's 4 sock monkeys down, 14 more to go. OH JOY! lol. I have 2 black monkeys with white limbs and two white monkies with black limbs. SO, Christine gets a double dosage of monkey-ness come tuesday... if she comes. maybe even a tripple dosage!<br /><br />And my cousin's baby's gift is down. I wonder if its a boy or a girl... well, we'll know soon enough.<br /><br />It's bedtime. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:3294 2004-02-08T07:19:56Z 2004-02-08T07:19:56Z Okay, why is my life always so scary? It's just NOT FAIR!<br />Today started like a normal Saturn's day... which isn't saying much, seeing as that's when most bad things happen. ANyway, Broderick and I were sparing. He wanted to teach me how to fight, for the big company battle in two weeks. I was very excited, to be training with a grown up (even though he is only 7 years older then me!). <br />So, as we were sparing, I saw, at the well, a man who looked really familiar. It was Thalese. It made me so angry to look at him. Broderick asked me if I was tired, and I told him I was. So we went and sat down in some trees, close enough that I could kinda hear what was being said, until Broderick started asking me about stuff that wasn't very important.<br />There were four men with Thalese, and one of them was the captain of the guards. One of the men called to us, and told me to come over. I was a little afraid, but I thought Broderick would come and rescue me if I got into trouble, so I went over. After all, with the head guardsman there, I couldn't be in too much danger. <br /><br />I was wrong. I was in tons of danger. The men circled around me.<br />"Are you concorting with vampires, Thalese? Tell us the truth, or this girl dies!" said the lead man, who was tall, and scary in all black. The two other men in all black had their weapons pointed at me. I was very afraid. And Thalese, he just laughed!<br />"Go ahead and kill her then," he said. "I'll even sever her. She's of no consequence." The men were surprised, I think. They told me to go, and they argued with Thalese some more.<br /><br />I should have left then, but I didn't. I went back to Broderick in the trees, and listened. One of the men came to get me, this time, along with a healer. Thalese was poisoned, and dying. They told the healer he could either heal him or not. They made Thalese beg for a healing. He did, and the healer, who was only trying to be a good person, cured him from poison and healed him. Then, they told me to charm Thalese. I pretended I was afraid, because I wanted Thalese to think I was afraid of him. I told him to bring Dasdam back. When he said it couldn't be done, I re-charmed him, and made him run around, saying that he loved Venca, (who's a necromancer). Then the scary men killed him. I can't say I'm sorry.<br />Broderick and I argued a bit, and he told me he did not think that Thalese should be killed. I think he should be killed and severed, but I didn't tell him that.<br />Later, Venca came, and reanimated Thalese, so now, Thalese is stuck doing whatever Vecna wants. That's at least a little better. Dark elves also started hunting us, and they killed broderick. But me and another little girl took him to the keep, got him healed up, and everything was fine..<br /><br />Gee, I wish Broderick would stop getting himself killed! It scares me.<br /><br />Finola urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:3028 2004-02-02T05:51:53Z 2004-02-02T05:51:53Z There is absolutely nothing to so late at night. Oh well, at least I got a sock monkey done today. Christine will be happy! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:2780 2004-02-01T03:18:28Z 2004-02-01T03:18:28Z Hi every body. I'm back.<br /><br />I had the wierdest day today. It all started last monday, when I got a note from a guy named Ertai... I'd never seen him before. He told me that he would find me on Saturn's day. So, even though it was really cold today, I snuck out of the magic school by myself, and went to wait by the well.<br /><br />A tall man in blue robes wearing a yellow sash came to talk to me. At first he scared me, the way he kept looking around as if he expected a dragon to jump out and eat him. . . He asked me if I was the one who wanted to kill Thalese. I got really worried then, wondering if he could be one of Thalese's spies, but I told him I did want to kill him...<br />Then Ertai asked me why I wanted to kill Thalese, so I told him all about Dasdam. He said he understood how I felt. He told me that, at feast in a few weeks, he is going to sneak a dagger to me... That I should sneak up on Thalese during the feast, and kill him then... He even promised to save me if I got killed, but he said we can't talk again until Thalese is killed, so no one figured out that we were plannin' something.<br /><br /><br />So after all that, I ran to see Broderick and his friend Stacey. Stacey's a wizard, and is really, really nice. We went explorin' an old church, and it was really, really creepy. Stacey was looking for a healer, called Katarina, but after looking around for ever, she gave up and decided to go to the keep to ask. I didn't really want to go to the keep... cause that's where Thalese lives, where I used to live... but I had to go, cause I don't like being outside alone. <br /><br />Inside was the healer they were looking for... but she was dead. I think I screamed, but I don't really remember. Broderick made her all better with his transfer life. <br /><br />We went outside, and Broderick met his friend Gunther. Stacey doesn't like Gunther. She says he's a bad man, who works for Flynn. Then she told me that if Flynn ever came back, that Broderick would fight for Flynn... and that if I stayed with Broderick, I would probably die. I don't really want to die, not until I can get rid of Thalese, and bring Dasdam back. While we were talking, Kat and Broderick and Gunther came by, dragging Ertai. I asked who he was, so that nobody would think I knew him. But they were too busy, cause he had been turned into a vampire! Then I got really scared, cause if he woke up from his subdual, then he could kill us all, and my magic doesn't work against undead.<br /><br />The pretty healer Kat fixed Ertai, and made him be a human again. But then there were two other undead people, who serve Venca, a necromancer. I've heard he's really mean. I was scared, and while Kat and the bigger, meaner looking undead argued about their fellow company (I guess that means he's her brother...), Stacey and I ran away. <br /><br />Suddenly we heard a noise, and the big skeleton-guy was chasing us. We ran really really fast, but it was harc, cause the snow came up to my knees. Stacey did some magic, and we were safe in the wizard's guild. The skeleton yelled at us, saying he killed our friends. I wanted to go see if Broderick was ok, but Stacey wouldn't let me. She didn't want the skeleton to kill us. But he left after a while. Broderick was dead, but we got him to a healer, who made him alive again. Then I went back to the magic school, where I could be safe.<br /><br />Well, that was my day... I'm really, really tired, so its bedtime now.<br />Later Diary!<br />Finola urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:2484 2004-02-01T02:47:24Z 2004-02-01T02:47:24Z Guess who missed the bus home... Celine Dion you guess? No, ME! Grr. I was there on time, it must have left early. Stpuid bus.I And its freezing cold to boot.

Very, very boring. No one is up and about until nearly 1 (too much partying last night!) I'm being lazy today too... but that's what sundays are for. Other then some reading, I have no homework (happydance time!!) so I'll prolly waste my day watching random tv shows (no cable makes this hard though...) and listening to TNT, my friends' radio show, based off of amtgard. <br />Anyway, I think I will go play on neopets now... nothing better to do....<br /><br />Bye all!<br />Melody Out! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:1564 2004-01-24T22:51:05Z 2004-01-24T22:51:05Z Hi everyone! I'm baaack!<br /><br />Today it was cold in Wolvenfang. Very very very cold. But I was warm, cause I dressed in many layers. I joined the magic school, so soon I'm gonna start taking classes so I can become even stronger. I also moved into the school (yay, no more smelly barracks!) so that its even easier to train. But I am a messenger girl now, to pay for my room. So I hope I will be very busy and make more friends. I mean, Broderick is a nice big brother 'n everything, but he can't help me with my Thalese problem cause they're both under Flynn. It's not fair. Broderick should quit Flynn. None of the Flynnies are nice. (He also tells me I shouldn't call them Flynnies, but that they should be called 'Flynnishad members'. But I like Flynnies, and I don't think he'll be reading my diary :) )<br />Well, its getting dark outside. It's almost supper time too. Yay. I was getting hungry. Bye bye!<br /><br />Finola urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:1322 2004-01-24T03:37:06Z 2004-01-24T03:37:06Z Yeah, I know, I know, I didn't keep writing. *smack* there. I've smacked myself. So, anyway, to get on with what's happening in my life...<br />I had a test Thursday in French. SOOOOO easy. Yay for easy tests. Today I feel sick. Prolly a stomach flu or something. Residences are hotbeds of desease. Lisi and Anik had it, now Meg and I seem to have it..<br /><br />I hate Fridays. My friends are all either at home or out drinking. So I sit at the computer and am very lonely... Mind you, it's useful for writing purposes. I've finally posted "A Question of Faith", book one of Laurana's Quest. It's on www.fictionpress.net, under the name of "Hope's Daughter". So read it, and review *Patadragon, I'm looking in your direction especially*<br /><br />Melody Out! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:1167 2004-01-18T05:23:05Z 2004-01-18T05:23:05Z Hi! I'm Finola. I'm a bard that lives in the Dutchy of Wolvenfang. I'm ten years old.<br /><br />Most people just ignore me. I really don't know how. I mean, I walk around in a bright red cape! And the duchy is all white right now, cause we have so much snow. But then, there are a lot of stupid people in Wolvenfang. Like the barbars, who are little barbarians. They Always want me to tell them a story, unless another, older bard is around.<br /><br />Life in Wolvenfang used to be great. I had a daddy. His name was Dasdam. He wasn't really my daddy. He adopted me. But he died. He was killed by an evil man named Thalese. I want to hurt Thalese, make him die like my daddy. But I'm too weak. I need help. What's even worser is that he took daddy's body away, so he cannnot be resurrected like I am every time that I get killed. I'm not really afraid of dying, of Thalese killing me. Cause life right now is no fun.<br /><br />I live in the barracks, with the guards of Wolvenfang. But Thalese either doesn't know who I am, or doesn't care. Still, the guards are nice, but some of them are scary, big men with great big huge arms that are as big as me! I have an adopted brother, Broderick, who visits me all the time, and who takes me out a lot, especially on Saturn's day. He's even teaching me how to use a staff. It's fun, but hard work. The knife I have is soo much easier to use.<br /><br />Anyway, it's bedtime. Nighty-night!<br /><br />Finola urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:955 2004-01-17T04:47:11Z 2004-01-17T04:47:11Z Journey to the Past- from Anastasia. It's stuck in my head. Well, I promised myseld I would try and write something, anything, every day, so forgive the oddness.<br />Not much happened today. mostly because I slept until noon. Well, not so much soon as 1130 am. Oh well. Then, after watching Days of Our Lives (Why did they bring freaking TIGER onto Days when they are having budget issues????), I went shopping with Meg. Bough my gift for Jenny's baby. I'll have to work on it on Sunday. Hopefully I can finish it quickly, because Jenny's baby is due early February. <br /><br />Tomorrow is the first instalement done from the POV of Finola, one of my LARP characters. Cosider it like a little story. For the next while she will be doing segments, until summer (defined as May, because that's when I am done school) rolls around. Then Jikarah and Finola will share, depending on who I played. Just a little warning, Finola and Jikarah both live in the Amtgard world, so they have the abilities of bards (seeing as that is what I play). Finola lives in Wolvenfang (which I am sure she will tell you about) and Jikarah lives in a Shire that has no name, that is south of Wolvenfang. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:524 2004-01-16T04:52:35Z 2004-01-16T04:52:35Z Tra la la. I am soooo bored. But then, it IS late. I should prolly go to bed. But I'm too awake. Maybe I can paint my room, and watch it dry. Or maybe I should start making garb. nah. People might yell at me. sewing machines are soo noisy. Well, I guessplaying FF7 is always a good idea... but I can't watch Aeris die again. It's no fun. lol<br /><br />Night all! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bardicmelody:473 2004-01-15T15:14:24Z 2004-01-15T15:14:24Z Hello those who bother reading random blogs, and all my friends... :)<br /><br />Well, today's off to an interesting start. First of all, its VERY VERY COLD. It's hard to breathe outside. Scarves and hats for all!<br /><br />So, the way I will do this... I'll try and update everyday (feel free to comment and yell at me if I don't). On Saturdays, either Finola or Jikarah, two of my LARP (live action role playing) characters will have their own entries, letting everyone know what's going on with Wolvenfang or the Shire without a name...<br /><br />So let me know what you all think... Just fair warning, to anyone who does not know, I am CRAZY AS A LOON. COnsider this fair warning. :)
