*sigh*
It depresses me to see all the goths, homosexuals, and supporters of homosexuals around ET... Kinda ruins it for me, knowing that half the people I may see could be a bad influence of some sort, or someone I shouldn't be chatting with... But I'm glad to be who I am, in my religion... Its safe there... Wiccans and homosexuals tend to stay away from religion, and its now a safe-haven...

Who am I, really?

Knowledge in my head,
Power in my wrists.
So graceful I am.
So easily I twist.

Fast as lightining,
A dangerous fighter could I be.
But I think I'd rather
You find a friend in me.

An old poem I wrote that was supposed to describe me.

Augh... Having a great day, until my sister got started with her 'April Fool's-ing ' .... She has the worst ideas... I didn't pull any today, cause I think its mean... But she has the worst ideas...

"Oh, Caleb! I had a great April fool's idea for you! I was gonna switch your Final Fantasy playlist with my Sailor Moon one!"

As if thats funny... Or even playful... Its hard to get all those 350+ files together... And she would've destroyed it...

Or, how about this one:
"Oh yeah! Then, I was thinking about unplugging the PS2."

She doesn't even know how. She just thinks its funny to annoy me. Probably because I'm too gentle to stop her... She amuses herself with ways to ruin my things... And what do you know? Just yesterday, she was asking me to help her with math... As if I were something she could get help from, then treat like a piece of junk...

"****"

Whatever... I wouldn't say that... Just feel like cursing...

Stupid sister...

And, my playlist stretches now to a whopping 13:39 total.
It contains all the tracks from FF VII, FF IX, and FF X.
If you would like any tracks from those games, just ask. I could either e-mail them to you, or give them to you by AIM.
If you want a few but don't know whats good, or have never heard of the games but are interested, just tell me, give me an idea of your preference/mood, and I could pick out a few good ones ^_^

Okay, maybe more like 30 good ones, but, you know! ^_^

~Later! Caleb

For Who Else Knows the Earth?

Dedicated to the Earth, my Guardian Angel Seraphim,
and all my friends on Elftown and in real life

I am the most loved man in the World,
For who else can claim they know the Earth?
And yet, I speak with her daily,
And take comfort that she loves me.

I am the least defenseless man in the World,
For who else can say they have an angel guarding them?
And yet, I know mine personally,
And take refuge in her protection.

I am the happiest man in the World,
For who else can show they have many trustworthy friends?
And yet, I trust each with my life,
And would give mine willingly for them.

Yes, I am the most comforted man in the World,
For who else can give such an entourage of trust and love?
And yet, I am proud of my friends,
And love them all with all my heart.


Comment on it, if you have anything to say about it... And yes, it is the truth in my life...

Been a while, since I last posted. Quite a bit's happened, at least.

1. Spring Retreat- Yeah! It was pretty good! The Fall Retreat was better, cause I was getting to know all of the people there, and this time it was more crowded, but it wasn't half bad! I learned how to give even more help to people, so I got in a pretty good mood.
2. My FF X OST came in, already copied all the music to my comp. Good game, awesome music. A lot of filler music, but even that sounds good ^.^ Especially "Wandering Flame", the Farplane music. Love that track. My friend is borrowing by my FF VII and X ost's to burn, and I'm making her disc covers for her birthday present. I think they turned out pretty nice. She certainly is happy. I'm glad to help her...
3. Went to Spring Festival with my orchestra, where we performed for judges. We were alright... Before our performance, we got to listen to several other orchestras, including Meadowcreek. Oh, what I wouldn't do for their tone! It was awesome! So much better than ours... Anyways, it turns out that a friend of mine played viola. I knew that, but I was surprised to see her that day. As an added bonus, she was first chair! Go her! As it turns out, though, she had asked several people she knew well to come watch her perform, but none of them could make it. She said I really made her day by showing up. I'm really glad I was there- splendid performance, and cheered up my friend, too. Great day.

Yup, you can see I'm having a good time ^_^

Ah, today is a good day! Been awhile since I wrote in here. But, I've changed a bunch again. A bunch of things brought this change about. Last night, I was thinking about my life. Before, when I had all sorts of projects looming about me, I felt overwhelmed, and thus discontent. Now, I have almost no problems whatsoever. Still, I felt discontent. When I examined my life, I decided I was too picky. I always found something to bring my spirits down. As usual, I decided I needed more input on my life. I sat down in my room (which still had my brother's things in it, because I moved into his room while he is away at college) and looked around. I found a small book in the corner called "Taste-Berries for Teens". I began to read. I read from 11:30 PM to 2:00 AM straight. I learned what it meant to have a friend and to be a friend, and the true power and impact I have on people based on my attitude. My attitude, before I read that book, was, "I want to help people in any way I can. I want to make them as happy as I can.", while I gave the display, "I'm so patheticly miserable and unloved. I'm so depressed." Which, of course, didn't help make anyone around me happy in any way, just more miserable. So, I decided, I am going to be a good friend. This means I am dependable, honest, respecting, and always there. I plan to do that. Also, I am going to show a positive attitude. I hope it helps cheer everyone else up.

Finally, I have beaten Final Fantasy X. The ending was wonderful. The music was excellent, but the ending was extraordinary. I especially remember Yuna's final words when addressing the crowd after defeating Sin.



Yuna: "Just, one more thing... The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded..."

*Scenes from the game flash quickly then fade*

Yuna: "Never forget them."


What an ending. I'm never going to forget that line. It certainly will apply to me. It gives me hope, also. I feel depressed alot, but this gives me a hope that good feelings will come back, that I have friends I can honor, and respect, and please. It gives me hope that I can live an honerable life. It gives me hope that I can be a happy person. It gives me hope that I can make everyone, including you, happy too.

Thank you for reading this. If you want to message me, I'm always up for a talk. Especially if you need support. I'm always there for you. Thanks.

~A new, happier Caleb.

K. Another dream. Not much to describe, really. The main focus of it was a sword, so I'll describe that. It was a sword, to start. Lightweight, felt like plastic, but cut and swung like metal. It looked like stained glass, too. Tan, gold, some silver, and some clear glass pieces set in the swordwork. It has a sheath similar to the sword. It was long, like a katana, but a bit thicker. The name was Wakizashi. (Yeah, I know. I've played too much FF X ^_^)

Hi all... Haven't written in here for a while... Well, I'm kinda depressed right now... Don't even know why... I guess its just cause it seems more painful to be happy right now... Maybe I've just had my time of happiness and now I am supposed to be sad... that seems right. Oh well... I guess I can live with it... If yu ever feel this way, just tell me. I don't want anyone to feel this way for long... I can help yu if yu do.

*Sigh*

Not like anybody cares anyways, or even reads these things...

Also, if yu like Final Fantasy music, I have all the FF VII songs, and quite a few of the popular ones from other FF games. If yu want them, just ask me, I'll be glad to send them to yu.
If yu've never heard FF music, just tell me yur mood and I could probably pick a nice piece for yu...

*Sigh*
Whatever... I said that like a year ago and didn't get any messages...

Feel... almost... useless... ...
Whatever. Later...

Ah... What a dream that was... The other night, I had a dream that seemed to be a mix between my fantasy reality, and 007 games. I was stuck in a building for some time, and in the building were about five men who were trying to kill me, some of the best men the main enemy had. I had one man helping me. He was shot almost immediately. I picked up his gun, and attacked the enemy. Using the limited ammo I had and the ammo I could pic up from my enemies, I managed to bring down the four best and escape alive, barely, to a place where I could reload all five guns I had accumulated, in preparation for the expected persuit. After that, though, the dream changed quite a bit. I will cease to retell from here because the story gets somewhat personal, and a bit hazy to remember. But it was a fun dream ^.^

Well, I have changed monumentally since I last have written in here. On the eighth, I went on a church retreat. Now I have come back, and feel completely different. I feel at peace with myself. I have more trust in God. I know that I am a person that people like. I am now much more outgoing and bold than I was before. And it feels great! ^.^

Well... I have had a very interesting dream ^_^ I sent it to my friend, who says she likes to collect dreams, and I decided to start writing down all my dreams ^_^ So here is my first entry... Quite a long dream, this time ^_^

We were on a big boat sailing out somewhere new. It was me, and by younger brother, Matthew, and a friend, I dunno who exactly. I'll just say it was Maryia. So, we traveled for a long time on a gigantic boat that didnt bob. While on this boat, we just played around, fencing, playing around with our magic skills, fun stuff like that. Eventually, we started seeing strange platforms floating in the air. One got close enough to step onto. So we did, just trying it out. It turned a shade lighter than it was before, and began to move. It stopped near a BIG GIGANTIC boat, at least ten times bigger than our boat. It was probably big enough to fit a small college campus on. And remember that these are fantasy boats, made of wood, using sails, stuff like that.
Well, there were people on the boat, and they took us as prisoners. We were 'privilleged' prisoners, though, and allowed to walk freely on the boat as long as we werent suspicious. Somehow I knew what type of society these sailers came from, and knew we wouldnt be free when they landed wherever they were heading. So I told the other two, and we tried to come up with a plan. Maryia seemed to be able to infer quite a bit about the moving platforms and how things worked there. After a lot of debate, we decided to summon a platform and escape. However, to summon a platform, each of us would have to drink a pink drink and a red drink, pink to summon and red to activate. (o.O Odd, isnt it?) Well, to our advantage, the crew presently installed a refrigerator (in a fantasy world?? *shrugs*) and stocked it with Pink, Red, and Purple drinks. The trick then would be to actually get some of them. This wasnt too hard. We became well known in the crew and they began to like us. Also, they encouraged us to drink the Pink and Purple drinks. So, I simply grabbed those two and drank the purple one (eew... Grape drink :P ) and grabbed a Red one, too. People saw, but nobody cared. My friend and my brother did the same. I ran around excercising for a while, then drank the Pink drink. I ran some more, and then headed to the spot we had designated to meet at to summon the platform. I drank the red drink just before I got there.

Then, there was a change, but I never detected it in the dream. The scenery around me changed to some sort of outdoor complex. It looked like a gigantic, intricate track that ran everywhere. There were many more people now, spread out through the huge track. Instead of being familiar and friendly with the crew there, people were friendly, and I was respected there. But none of this was a surprise to me, because of the way dreams are. It was almost a new dream, but for the same companions spread around. The reality was this: This was some sort of military camp, and the track was used constantly for excercise. There were ranks, also. A rank of 1-14, 1 being the lowest rank. However, a "high" rank, here, was 9. 9 was considered the highest position normally thought of.
Now, back to the story. I was running to the summon-point earlier decided, when the dream changed. I continued running, and soon caught up with my 9-year old brother. I nearly stopped, and said, "Hey! You're doing good, Matthew!". At this point, a string of words popped into my head, and I knew that Matthew's rank was 5, which is a pretty good rank among normal soldiers, but outstanding for one his age, and that my rank was 14. I was a legend there. If you have played FF VII, its like being a Sephiroth, only maybe a bit better. And people at the camp were friendly with me. In any case, I noticed a red drink in his hand, which gave me the proof that the first part of the dream was connected to this one. I ran on, and decided to run the Right Wing for a while. On my way, I was looking for an opening to run through, trying to get out of that particular track section. I noticed one small opening, and headed towards it. I stopped just a few feet away from it, however, as I noticed the sign near it. It read: "Go this way to quit (meaning the military camp) and get shot". Having stopped just a few feet away, I knew I was that close to dying. Too close for me. I quickly turned way and ran to look for another exit to get to the Right Wing. The Right Wing was known as "The Wing of the Secrets of Battle and Mystics" because located in it was, besides the track which ran everywhere, the school part of the camp, where they teach constantly. I used to attend high level classes every day in that camp, I recalled. Usually, now, I just go in once in a while and sit through a class. Also, I was on the best terms with the principal and teacher. Anyways, I ran past the school rooms and onto the stairs-track. They were easy for me, and I flew past them. However, today I encountered an aspiring student named Biggims, I think, who hated me for being better than him. Anyways, he took off and called back, "If you're so good, try and beat me!" So I raced after him, since that was the way I was planning to go anyways. He ran as fast as me, however, and I didnt catch up to him very fast. I estimated he would be rank 13 when he joined the fighting force. But he wouldnt listen to my compliments. He ran around and around the lengthy course, which consisted mainly of stairways. Nobody was hurt by anything, however, even though we ran over the tips of the steps at frightening speeds, enough to make everything blur. As we ran, he began taunting me. I raced faster, trying to pass him enough to make him be quiet. Soon, the taunts became his scheme to get rid of me and the Principal of the school. He was going to frame me, and kill the Principal, leaving, written in chalk, "Killed by Legend Caleb". I began to realize what he was doing. I was following him, chasing him, and going wherever he wanted me to go. Like this, it wouldnt be hard to frame me. So I changed my course, and he began to follow me. His temper cooled down also. He nearly became pleasant.

At this point, the dream changed again. It had more of a gameboy type look. I remember walking into the small schoolroom, him following me. He asked, "How do you take notes?" I replied "I dont. These lessons are pretty basic for me. Usually, when I go in, I have questions. Once these are answered, I leave with the new knowledge." I continued walking, to the office across the room. I entered, and stoof facing the familiar face of the Principal of the school of Military Battle. At this point, I decided I liked the dream, and attempted to save. After several tries, I finally saved the game (I said it was a gameboy type thing... O.o). "Hello, Caleb!" he greeted me. "What brings you here, today? Another question to puzzle me?" "No, I'm afraid not... Just a few minutes ago, I met a treacherous young man. He threatened to kill you, and frame me for it." At this moment, Biggims walked into the room, still following me. "Yes, it was this man right here." I indicated Biggims. The Principal was furious. "CUT THIS MAN, OR I'LL HAVE HIS HEAD!!!!" he roared. And it was done. I must mention, here, that he reffered to cutting Biggims from the enrollment roster when he said 'Cut this man'. At this point, I woke myself from the dream, having reached its end.


Interesting, isnt it? Comment on it in my Guestbook ^_^
