Tales of the Union, part III

Shino: I have a class in half an hour, then a lab after that, but I don't know if I should even GO to that first class. It's just reviewing for the test tomorrow anyways... Yeah, I don't think I'll go. Wow, you're a very good convincer! 8D

Something I thought funny since last year but totally forgot until now is that when you log out of the computers here in the main building, it asks you "Are you sure you want to log out!?" Yes, with an exclamation point. So the first few times I was like, "AAH!! AM I sure I want to log out!? I don't know anymore!! DX" but now I know better than to believe the computer, even if it's important enough to yell at me.

I haven't read an actual book in a while. The last books I read were "The Da Vinci Code" and "The Alchemist" which are both cool BTW. I've been thinking of reading Eragon's second book, "Eldest" but now I don't think I want to read that series anymore. Oh yeah, the Eragon Trilogy (it's actually called the Inheritance Cycle but NOBODY calls it that I don't think) is actually gonna be 4 books now I read somewhere. Quintology?

So the only other book I HAVE to read right now is Harry Potter 7. Yes yes, probably half the world just gasped simultaneously right now. You all owe me a nickel for each breath you take, you know. I invented air. What? You can't disprove it. >:) So anyways, back on track now, I should read Harry Potter 7 sometime. Case closed.

Oh yeah, Levi said in the last post that he got a platinum in all the levels on Link's Crossbow Training, but that's all a LIE. He needs ONE more! And I'm sure it's been almost 2 weeks of owning that game. Which reminds me, I should finish Twilight Princess soon too. And I'll make SURE to tell you after I actually DO finish it, unlike some liars I know. Actually, I'm pretty sure all liars lie.

Also, the quote at the top is something I totally made out of the blue when my family was playing very badly executed charades. Except when I said it it was originally, "If a mime gets killed in a forest, does he make a sound?" Then we all laughed for like 4 minutes, then we started rephrasing it to make it sound like the actual quote, so now it's "If a mime falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" I'm such a freakin' genius sometimes. This is such an amazing quote that I wouldn't be surprised if it's already been done before. That's the sad thing about life, you think you're the first, but you're NOT!

Well, I WAS thinking of just rambling on some more, but I guess this has gotten pretty long already. Plus, it kinda had nothing to do about my union. I'm just typing it there. And this computer's keyboard is hard to push so it hurts my fingers.

Platinum Crossbow

Levi: Heh, so anyways, after only a week of owning Link's Crossbow Training, I have gotten a platinum medal on EVERY level. Pretty awesome.

Movies

Levi: Anyway, last week I saw two movies. First, I rented "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and it was AWESOME. I wanted to see it because I never had, so yeah. My dad said he was going to watch another movie, but it turned out that he watched it with me. He didn't remember anything from the movie.

Secondly, I saw "Across the Universe" at the theatre. It was a really good movie, even for a musical. It wasn't one of those fake-happy piles of poop. Kinda had some depressing-ish parts, I guess. Not quite, because all of the music is about being happy and how looooove is gonna get yo' ass up. Yeah, The Beatles can do that.

Lights and a Crossbow

Levi: Soooo! Last weekend I got to operate the spotlight for our school play. It was pretty normal for the first two days, but the last day was really funny because I started talking to the stage crew guys on the headset. They are funny people :D Like this one time, a guy said, "Thomas is a descendant of Chuck Norris; therefore, he is a Chuck Norris!" "A Chuck Norris? Is that like an occupation?"

Hehehe. We were laughing for a good minute with that one.

Anyway, I also got Link's Crossbow Training, and it's pretty fun. A lot better than I expected. If I do good enough, maybe I can get the platinum medal? *drool*

My Songs!

Levi: So anyway, I couldn't figure out how to get my songs onto the internet, so I just made videos of them on YouTube. Listen to them! I worked hard on these songs!

Mind you, they're all electronic songs. I think they are AWESOME! These are the coolest songs I've ever heard from a guy named Levi!

Oh wow

Shino: WOAH. My eyes just started to hurt all of a sudden... Must be lookin' at the screen too long. Just finished watching another Naruto movie. Movie 3. This one was waaaay better than 1 and 2. I dunno what the heck was wrong with those two. All these machines and stuff...

Oh woops, getting sidetracked again. One of my many super powers. |P Well, I was just munching on our MANY halloween leftover candy, and stumbled upon THIS!!! *points up at picture* Scream and go hide your children from such a monstrosity!! THE EVIL GREEN DEMENTED M&M!!!! *faints from the sheer horror of it all*

Silly, Silly Dreams

Levi: So, I've been trying to record every single dream I've had as of recent, but I seem to be failing miserably. For some reason, the dreams just escape your grasp as you finally pick up the pen and paper to write it down. However! I have been able to record just a few. They seem to do with Zelda a lot :( I feel so ashamed :P
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Me and Papa are wandering a city resembling Tokyo in search of a man named Ganon. We come to a café and are discussing our plans when an old Mexican lady says she can give us advice; for a price, however. My dad givers her some money, and we follow her to her house. We wind past a lot of alleyways, then come to a gypsy or fortune-teller-like home. The lady tells us that Ganon has an umbrella that he always has on him 24/7. Apparently, my dad already knew that, so he got mad at the lady and stormed out the room.

2. I was looking at a bridge from a view of a security camera. The bridge resembled the Lake Hylia bridge. There was a crack in the bridge, and a lot of cars flew into the lake below. For some reason, nobody seemed to take too much notice of it, regardless of the fact many people were screaming. A big rig flew into the depths below and exploded.

3. I wake up every morning, just like I normally do, and I walk down to the bus stop. Every morning, however, I would see this black haired girl standing around and staring into blank space. Also, I see these two old ladies jogging by (just like in real life). A few weeks pass where I do this, but on the day of my birthday (for some reason, it was still fall), the girl started yelling Spanish words to the old ladies, and they responded in Spanish too. As I walked passed, the girl said, “Atchii” (like “hot” in Japanese), and I responded with, “Atchii desuka?” and the girl says, “Hay, atchii atchii.”

I get to the bus stop, and as the bus is coming, the girl comes up to me and yells, “Where’s Levi!?” I finally say that I’m Levi, and she says that she needs to get me a birthday present. I ask her why, and she says that it’s because she’s my stepsister’s cousin (when I don’t even have a stepsister) and she needs to get a present the size of a small box (she made a hand gesture of how large it should be). I say okay, and we go back to my house (I seem to have completely forgotten about the bus) and I try to find something that I don’t have that I would like to have. We search my room and the bathroom, when the girl asked me why I had a toilet in the bathroom. I hesitantly respond, “So I can go to the bathroom.”

After a long time, she asks the same question again. After a REALLY long time, I say, “So… I can use the toilet.” And then the dream ended.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Strange? I hope so. I will definitely try to write down as many dreams as I can; after all, I RARELY have them ever. Just recently I started getting them :(

Typing Power, Pen Power

Levi: Ya' know what's weird? I can type like a champion (and I rub it in everyone's face; I have a typing speed of 70 words per minute with little to no mistakes), yet I continue to use the conventional method of writing stories: I use the good ol' pen and clipboard method. I usually sit outside, listening to the wind through the trees, or I may secretly write for an hour after my bedtime, in the lowlight of my lamp. Personally, I prefer method two. For some reason, writing in a bright area just isn't my thing. Poorly lit areas are just my deal, ya' know what I'm sayin'?

Anyway, what I don't get is that while I enjoy writing with something a bit more physical, I can't stand writing in a journal in my, uh, journal. It just hurts my haaaaaand. So, I prefer to type. However, I just noticed that I don't, in fact, have a computer-journal. I was just reading my old blog posts back from 2006, and I love looking back on my old journal entries! I also loved the old photo of all my old friends :(. So touching, so touching. I have also noticed that my grammar and English skills have quadrupled in the last year alone. Honestly, I believe that I am a writing CHAMP right now (however, still very far away from writing novels). Though, I am planning on writing a novel in the next few years. Shino and my dad know about what I might use as an idea, and I might stick to it :)

You know, that kind of reminds me of that Christopher Paolini dude; he wrote his book when he was FIFTEEN. Remarkable! Even at that, I was disappointed by his second book, Eldest. It just didn't go anywhere for a majority of it. More disappointing was the movie, however. A disgrace to my eyes!

Well, I guess all I'm saying is that I'm going to be using this blog a looot more than I do now. If you didn't know, I hardly even used this blog last year at all. I would make fairly erratic updates, and it was pretty much Shino's blog. BUT I SHALL CONQUER! Succumb to my prowess, Shino, because my reign of... um, Leviness will crash down heavily!

Edit: Hmm, I didn't talk about the pen and paper thing very much. So, are you wondering WHY I use a pen and paper?

The truth is, I type SO FAST that literally all my thoughts and words fly past my mind. So, when I try to type stories, they just appear on the screen TOO FAST, so I don't even know WHAT I typed! I find myself reusing the same words over and over, odd ideas coming out of nowhere, and grammatical errors all over the place.

So, why use a pen and paper? Because I write super slow. That way, everything I do is ENGRAVED into my brain, so I CAN'T use the same word twice in the same paragraph, and I know exactly what's happening :). Just as a tidbit, chapter 1 & 2 of my story "Calm Before the Storm" were typed, while every other chapter was hand written. Yay for me.

Delays and an Update

Levi: So, I was working on my latest chapter and threw away two versions. I kept the second one, though, because the thing that I WROTE on was kind of silly. I got an idea while I was sitting in the car, waiting for my dad to come back from someplace. With nothing to write on, I found a letter-type-thingy in the glove box. So, I unfolded it and wrote on it.

A seemingly boring-looking car-letter...

But now it's my writing scratch paper! MUAHAHAHAHA!

Anyway, you must be thinking that what's on that paper might be a spoiler. Here's a hint: it's not. I threw that idea away, remember?

Now, onto the update part of this post. I know there's quite a bit left until I'm done, but I'm please to announce that I've finished Chapter 9! *cheers* So, the end 'tis nigh! MUAHAHA!
