*spoiler warning, regarding Advent Children*
I think that many teens could learn a lot from analyzing Cloud during the movie. Especially at the end. Throughout, Cloud tries to seek forgiveness, and eventually forgive himself, because he feels guilty for Aeris' death, even though it was not his fault ("I have never once blamed you" -Aeris). However, Aeris was dead, and Cloud was not. And Zack, Cloud's best friend and Aeris' original boyfriend, was dead too. The end of the movie, the last ten seconds, shows Aeris walking off with Zack into the lifestream, leaving Cloud behind. Now, if the same were to happen to most teenagers, you can imagine the ensuing jealousies, hatreds, feuds, etc. But what does Cloud say? "Yes. I'll be alright now. I'm not alone." He forgives him. He finds peace. It's a happy ending, even though Cloud loses Aeris, seeing her walk off with his best friend.
Message in the movie: Life deals you curveballs, but you can't let it drag you down and cause you to be unhappy. Accept life as it comes, and make the best of it.
If only people could let things go, rather than attempt to find a reason to hate. Most adolescents would hate their friends for stealing their girlfriends, but Cloud's mature attitude left everyone happy and at peace. If only people stopped holding grudges and looking for hate, there would be considerably less conflicts. Peace for goodness sakes, is what people want, so why do they keep looking for conflict?
Possible reason why I get so depressed from logging into ET often: Monotony kills me. I like to do things with purpose. It brings meaning into what I do. When I log into ET repeatedly, it's mainly because I don't have anything to do -.-
That, and I've seemed to develop a monopoly sort of system on likes. If one person in my family likes something, it kinda rules out me admitting to liking it too. It's kinda strange. Worst with my sister. I can't ever agree to like anything she likes already, for some reason. Though I have to admit, lots of it is actually decent, like D&N Angel. As cheesy as it sounds, and with some of it's plot stuff, there's actually a good bit of contrast & irony in the story.

Mine satire, attacking political correctness/'a
The Diary of Ernest Fairchild
Comments welcome, of course. It ought to be fairly entertaining, I hope.
Worry/rantage about religion
Meaning it's rambling that won't make much sense, but some things I just have to type out to understand myself. And it's not exactly worthwhile for others to read, I'd bet.
Quothe a house:
A girl and guy were speeding, on a motorcycle, over 90 mph on the road..
Girl: Slow down. I’m scared.
Guy: No, this is fun.
They both DIED!
THE END
o.O Templar seems obsessed with girls, oddly enough. Anyone who knows him in real life, and quite possible those who know him on the internet could easily tell you that the chances of him getting a girlfriend are slim. But he's obsessed with them anyways. Probably explains why he likes reading stories with love plots in them, since he can't get a girlfriend himself :P
On the topic, though, I have to note that people seem obsessed with them at my age, invariably. And then lots of emos get all depressed when they break up with their boyfriend/girl
*cries*
Well, last time I try this 'render at 3x normal size' idea. Terragen froze after 3+ hours of rendering. The entire program shut down. Now I have nothing to show for a whole afternoon's effort.
Found this in an RP bio relating the history of Tyrande Whisperwind: "she was born as a sorceress of the bloody elves (the elves of the light)"
XD Those bloody elves!
Bio also details that she often uses the 'arch' to attack, and was nearly killed by the non dead. *assumes this is a non-English speaking person*
o.O So I get a random message from someone, asking that I vote in their poll. I go to look at it, because I enjoy taking polls, generally. It was a 'favorites' poll, so I easily chose 'music', mostly just glad it wasn't a stupid poll about looks, etc. I didn't bother replying to the message because a) nothing to say, and b) wretched grammar and spelling. About half an hour later, I, out of curiousity, check my own poll, and find that it still had the same number of votes. Strange, the person had me take the time to do his little survey, but didn't have the courtesy of answering my poll. Ah well, such is Elftown, I've found. Polls grow very slowly.
<disclaimer: I don't mean this diary to be attacking said person, and mean no offense in any way with the entry. Just recording a curious event.>
The Just Names Coalition
For those who write just their names.
*glomps his new monitor* It's all big and not pink, and not blue, and big, and... and big. *nods* Monitor is once again bigger than our ancient TV, though much smaller than our new one :D
*cries* The pink plague is here for good, but not only that, there is a lurking threat of a more sinister blue plague. I hope those monitor repairs come in soon!
Proof that the world believes things too easily, found at someone's house:
In reincarnation: yes
Aliens: yes
True Love: yes
Ghosts: yes
Satan: yes
Heaven: kinda
Hell: yes
Afterlife: yes
Love at First Sight: yes
So. This person believes in Hell, but is uncertain about Heaven, despite the fact that they go hand in hand. Further, they believe in reincarnation and afterlife. Question: So, when does a person go to Hell, if they're reincarnated? And what kind of afterlife is it, if you're reincarnated instead? You can't believe in both reincarnation and afterlife; they're mutually exclusive.
A thought came to me. Like usual, it was after/during a movie, though this time it was rather unrelated to the movie itself. I don't know if I can adequately explain my thoughts here, but I'll still try, if for no other reason than to remind myself of my thoughts.
For some reason, I've connected the lifestyle I'd like to live to Japan. Much of my reading and especially the massive amounts of time I spend playing video games relate to Japan, and I've developed a taste for 'Japan'. I put it in quotes because it really happened the other way around. I developed a taste for a unique style of living that I associated to Japan. I connected what I wished for with things that could only come into being in Japan. For some inexplicable reason. I often think something along the lines of, "If I were in Japan, it would be like this," and have some spectacular scene unfold in my mind. But then I realized that what I was imagining barely even applied to Japan in any way. Even more, I realized that I didn't have to be in Japan for me to live in any way, or even to find spectacular scenery that all the Japanese movies (like The Last Samurai) portrayed. It could be found anywhere just as easily as in Japan.
So basically, I decided that I didn't have to move to Japan when I grew up, and stopped associated random things with Japan. Which is good, because I doubt I could ever really learn Japanese very well. And yes, this was all rather random.
:/ The pink plague returned again. I hope the monitor repairs come soon.
A thought for the masses:
If life doesn't seem to make sense, perhaps it's time to sit down and think about it.
Oh, and for some particular masses:
Being depressed sucks, and people who try and be depressed should just get over themselves, because, no matter what they may claim, there are certainly reasons to be happy.
*now has a Writersco account*
Writersco has lots less weirdos than ET. I'm glad for that. Once it's less confusing for me, I'll learn how to write well and have uberfun there ^_^
Today was fabulariffic. I found out that the demo version of Terragen 2 will be available in January. And then I found out that I did good in physics, and my classes'll be fine. And then I fixed my monitor. It's not pink anymore. I hope that lasts, though there are no guarantees. Not sure how I'll turn it off, since if I bump it, it'll turn pink again. Oh well. It's fixable ^^
W00t. Finally got the Halloween pictures developed. There are a few good ones, so I think I'll put one up when I can get the silly scanner to start working again.
