ok, just redid my profile and uploaded a new, more up-to-date pic of me. Hope people like it, it's kinda funny (and it's NOT porn! lol). I'm glad I'm getting back into online stuff. I kinda missed it. Plus, nonstop partying can wear someone down... Wow, it's been like 3 or 4 months! Phew!
Well tomorrow I leave for Rome! Woohoo!
Finally I get to go back home!
I think I'll stay with my grandparents for a while until I get a place of my own. That shouldnt be too hard, daddy's got money >:) It's evil, I know, I know...
Tonight I watched Hide and Seek... it was a little creepy... but I kinda figured out what was happening in the beginning. I mean, you could really tell the dad was it from the commercials... or maybe its just me, hehe
Harry Potter comes out tonight! Woohoo!
I saw perviews for the 4th HP movie yesterday... I'm stunned. And I really cant wait for it to come out! Yay!
Ok, so guess what, diary! No, just guess. come on... ok, then... I'll tell you. I'm moving back to Rome, Italy! You know, my hometown!
...Why, you ask? Maybe because I miss it and want to live there again.
...What about my friends in Florida, you ask? Well, we'll still keep in touch through the internet and all.
...Where am I going to live, you ask? Well, I do have family over there that I can stay with until I get on my own two feet. Granny's got that vinyard outside the city. Plus, daddy has a whole lot of money... I'm sure I can find some place to live, hehe.
Why do you keep asking all there questions, anyway? You're a pretty intelligent diary, did you know that? Ok, well not too smart... You never answer my questions, just ask a lotof them. Oh well, I like you.
OK i'm finally writing in my diary again. Woohoo!
I FINALLY hung some pictures in the house of kipper recently. Boy, that's hard work. I got (recent) pictures of me and my friends up there. I also redid the description. I'm talking about my heritage now! Woohoo!
I love my heritage.
Wait... I love me!
I really do think I'm in love with me... I know it sounds extremely vain, but I was looking at my pics and my writing and all... I just can't help but love myself.
I'd kiss me if I could reach!
Ok, so i went and saw War of the Worlds... ugh... it was stupid and made no sense. I still don't get it, even after thinking about it for a few hours...
To think Steven Speilberg directed it...
Alright, so I failed in my plans... but I did get a good tan!!!
Yesterday, instead of doing my AP Chemistry homework like I had been planning for the past week, I swam in the pool and sunbathed. I could almost hear the chemistry book calling my name as I laid on the float in the crystal clear and cool waters beneath me. The sun felt soooo good, though.
Today, I didn't work on the homework, either. I went to theater practice which turned out to be just a runthrough of my parts. I'm Lunar and Glutton 1, two really funny and great parts.
My parents informed me that if this hurricane persists, they might not spend the weekend in Orlando, which throws off my whole weekend... I can't do that painting I was looking forward to, or I can't go out with Laura or Stephanie... *sigh* life is cruel.
Well, tomorrow I'll be washing and vacuuming the truck so they can take it down south, so still no homework. Maybe I can fit it into my "busy" schedule tomorrow, somehow. Today I made more profiles on the internet, like Match.com and Cupid Junction. I'm really into meeting new people lately... don't know what it is, really.
I finally posted a picture of me on here! Woohoo! It isn't half bad either. To think that my friend has such great photography skills... hehe.
I haven't drawn in quite some time... I'm going through withdrawal right now... hehe... with-draw-al..
oh well, until tomorrow...
OMG!!!
I just looked at the new Xbox 360 specs and new games...
I'm speechless...
...
Ok, well, maybe not "speechless", but definitely impressed and impatient. I really can't wait until November when it comes out. It comes standard with wireless controllers, DVD ready, and is smaller (and more beautiful) than the old Xbox. A completely redesigned console and rearranged, yet still fully functional and user-friendly, controllers help establish the ultimate gaming experience of all time. I can't wait!
I've been watching the status on the upcoming game Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for quite a few months now. I'm happy to say that the release date is set sometime this year (finally!!!). If you haven't seen or heard of this game, you should really check it out. Not only are the graphics the highest grade yet, but the game is called the greatest RPG of its time. The new graphics of the Xbox 360 will allow the game the reach its full potential. A heavy plot will be in the game, but like all Elder Scrolls games, the world will be open to exploration, offering more than a few quests for the wanderer. Plus, a new system called Radiant AI allows all NPC's (around 1000 in the game with fully spoken conversations) to have a 24/7 schedule that they follow, and to react to ALL outside influences.
An example is: a woman is seen feeding her dog, which causes the dog to run and jump around while barking. The woman casts a stunning spell on the dog to shut it up, then goes about her business.
The screenshots seen on the web are all 100% in-game screens, which says a LOT about the new graphics. I really can't wait until the new stuff comes out. It looks like this Christmas should be a good one (I hope...)
Fourth of July - Woohoo!!!
I'm a little upset with myself... I may or may not have mentioned that video games are my weakness. Well, I let one get to me yesterday...
I started playing Fable again the night before (Saturday). I brought the TV and Xbox into my room later and played nonstop until about 4AM. After noticing the time, I went to sleep only to wake up at 10AM on Sunday and play literally nonstop until about 8PM last night, when I beat the game. Only then did I leave the sunless cave known as my room.
I don't really know why I succumb to the horrible temptation known as video games. Could it be that they are so... tempting? The control beckons you as it molds to fit perfectly into the shape of your hand. The vibrant colors and captivating music only intensify the need to play. An intense storyline and intriguing characters build to the temptation. Ahhh... the video game experience.
It got so bad that last night, I hummed the Fable themesong until I went to sleep... then I dreamt that I was WALKING THROUGH Bowerstone!!! OMG!!!
Now I'm better, or at least a little. I've taken small breaks today as I start to get involved with Grand Theft Auto 3 (Xbox Collection). It, too, is rather tempting, though I like the RPG's the best. I was thinking about playing Morrowind yet again, but I decided to stay away from that. I'd be on there even longer than Fable...
So, I just got back from watching an awesome display of fireworks. Once again, they were stunning. Yet, I don't think that the people as a whole really know what they're celebrating on the 4th of July... It's sad to see what this country, or this world really, has come to...
Wow, so my list of things to do got somewhat shorter today! Woohoo! I cleaned both my room AND my fish tank today. I also took back my library books. Yay! I've also planned a few more events: work on AP chemistry homework next week, work on cathedral painting July 9&10, etc. Well, maybe someday I'll be down to doing nothing. Hopefully that day comes soon...
So today, in between doing the above, I watched the Phantom of the Opera. I was amazed at the similarity between the movie and the play. You see, I visited NYC last year and went to the actual Broadway of tPotO. I still think the play was superior when it came to interactivity - the chandelier actually came into the audience, the roof scene extended into the audience, the stage seemed to turn around, etc, etc... The movie took the rest of the awards, however. I thoroughly enjoyed the music (extra from the play), characters, and scenery. I felt like I was actually there. And the Masquerade was absolutely awesome! I loved the dancing! Wow!
As for Minnie Driver, my hat goes off for an extremely wonderful performance as Carlotta.
Anyway, I got some candy today - Woopie! My favorite candies are Airheads, Starburst, and Jolly Ranchers (not that you really want/need to know).
Tomorrow I'm going swimming! My mom and I set up our pool today. Though it'll be really cold tomorrow, I think I'll get in.
-I have a blog! Finally! http://kipperl
Well, today was yet another boring day in the life of me. I watched a bunch of episodes of the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and Teen Titans. If I could have it my way, TV would show nonstop reruns of Teen Titans and Avatar: The Last Airbender. These are my absolute favorite cartoons!
I also like Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, Spongebob Squarepants, Sailor Moon, and many others.
Speaking of Sailor Moon, I just got through looking at a bunch of websites and pictures about the Sailor Moon series. It's been so many years since I last watched that show... Ah, the memories... Those websites brought me back.
I really love anime/manga. That style is just fascinating to me. I don't really know why... maybe the glowing and shiny eyes... or maybe the gravity-defyin
I drew a character for my comic - the one I will be putting on the internet sometime in the near future. The character was kind of a mix between Sailor Moon and Starfire (Teen Titans). I don't know how she'll fit into the comic, but I'll make it work...
My comic started out as an idea to put my boring life to cartoons. I was going to have all of my friends in it and I would tell the funny things that happen to us. Now, I'm not so sure... See, we're not that interesting. Also, I can't really draw my friends... So, I've come to the conclusion that the comic will have different characters drawn in different styles all living under one roof. Well, maybe it'll work. We'll see. I'll let you know if I change my mind about something...
I still don't see why I'm writing this diary... *ugh*
I've been reading the High Druid of Shannara, by Terry Brooks. I'm still on the second chapter after about a week... I just can't really get into it like his other books. But the cover has a nice picture on it.
I need to get to work finishing off my to-do list.
-Finish part 2 of wyvern story
-Post Wyvern pages
-Paint cathedral picture
-Finish AP Chemistry homework
-Take books back to library
-Clean fish tank
-Clean room, as a matter of fact
-Finish Guide to Elves
-Finish map of Lehria
Ugh - So much to do, so little time... I wish I had about ten more of me: then there'd be 11!
Wow - I met a girl - here - on the first day of joining! And boy is she a fox! She's definitely one in a million: beautiful, active, caring, funny, and quite interesting. All of her interests coincide with mine. If she weren't in Canada, I'd definitely persue her... but alas, we must remain friends. But hey - friends last longer in my opinion. Hi Heaven!
Well, today's my first entry... Boy, what have I gotten myself into? This place is all so new to me... I don't have a clue what I'm doing. *Sigh* Well, alas... I have my drawings. I could always just draw a friend to talk to. Then I could write a story about our adventures! Hmm... What an idea! It'll be my next story! Wow!
So I just watched a show on TV about the Islamic faith. I was totally disgusted with the guy on there... He was so closed-minded and angry about other religions... Well, not everybody can be as accepting as me, I guess. I, myself, would've loved to spend some time in another culture like he did.
I've often dreamed of what it would be like living in another culture - especially one that didn't speak English. Wow, it'd be hard... but I think I could do it. Plus, the things I'd learn would be awesome.
I'm going to be doing a new painting soon. It'll be of a cathedral on top of a hill surrounded by swirling purple and red clouds. The sun'll be shining through a cloud and casting its rays on the steeple - it'll be great. I can't wait to do it... I just have to sketch it out first.
I don't know why I'm writing this down... I already know what's happened to me or what I'm going to do. I highly doubt anybody is going to read this. So, I guess I'm just really bored and am writing my life story for the sake of passing the time. *sigh again* Oh well... another day gone.
