More Story!

First, though, a writing prompt. This is yesterday's, because I haven't drawn today's yet.

"Pretend you are a guest star on your favorite sitcom. Write the script."

I did "Whose Line" 'cause it's the only show I watch. I already do Stargate stuff.

Okay. So the Lieum has one friend, Jadie. Did you know he likes ketchup on his pretzels? That's why Jade calls him "Ketchuppity," or Ketchup, as we'd say it. But Lieums have strange tastes. Turns out it's "free pretzel Tueday" (not that the Lieums have the same days of the week as we do) so Jadie didn't have to pay for them. They are really good pretzels. Jadie inhales hers. ("Yum!")

"How do you do that without choking?" Jack asks. She doesn't know. She asks him if he knows where to find the answer to all life's questions. "Grandpa Simpson's underware," he asks, knowing that the Kinssa don't know about the Simpson's.

Anyway, they need to talk to Bernie (the pretzel guy) about Jack's plan to escape. Jack can't figure out why the Kinssa won't just kill a few Lieums. After all, those guys have enslaved Jadie's people!

"Thou shalt not kill," she reminds him. Turns out, she's read the Bible, and so has Keiki.

Now, remember how Jack prevously took a very Creation Scintific view on the creation of the universe and such. He hasn't read the Bible!

Well, he's read some of it. Jadie promises not the spoil the end.

Thus did end Logic class, and I was free to run 'cross campus to this very computer. More later.

Memorial Day

My sister made me watch a lot of movies. Let's see, I saw . . .

Legally Blond

Legally Blond 2: Red White and Blond

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Uptown Girls

The Lion King 1 1/2

Most of Miss Congeniality

Personally, I liked Uptown Girls the most, because it has my favorite actress in it: Dakota Fanning.

Also, I slept in yesterday until about 7:00 am. (I know what you're thinking. But I normally get up at 5:00 am.) It was miserable. I was tired all day. I won't do it again anytime soon.

About my story: not much has happened, since I'm doing a science report thing and studying for an anthropology test. Plus, it's getting close to time for class. I'm sure you won't mind if I write about it after my classes like I usually do. Okay. Thanks. See you then.

It was on my Music Stand

Of course! Why didn't I look there first! Khib, it's always in the last place you look. I don't know why you would continue looking after you've found it, but I'm sure somebody does. And I wasn't even looking. I was clearing off my stand so the book I was reading (eg, playing) from didn't fall off.

Anyway, there's parts that never got typed into my little blog here. I'll start now.

Okay. Jadie, Keiki and Jack are walking to Azure Bridge park. That's what Jadie was planning the night she was missing. It's the first time Jack has been out of the "game reserve" as the humans call it.

Nothing is plainly colored outside. All the Lieums are friendly. (I know, what about Ben? Maybe he had a bad childhood). There are billboards written in Lieum and all the vehicals have square wheels, but seem to run just fine. (Different laws of graviety, maybe?) And Jadie knows her way around.

However, Keiki doesn't think they're going the right way because her map is off. It's an upside-down map of Florida. Jadie says that it is the right way, unless the Lieums moved the park. Not knowing much about the Lieums, Jack wondered if they could actually do that. Jadie says that to the Lieums land is sacred, and the parks aren't going to move.

Jack notices that Jadie is turning at practally every corner. He thinks she might be taking the long way so they're gone longer, but then he notices that they only travel on streets that are gold, blue or silver. Jadie says that it has to do with gangs.

Two hours later they get there. The park name is the only English sign on the planet. "Azure Bridge Park!" (Bonus points to anyone who knows the real name of the park I'm parodying (sp?). Triple points to anyone who knows what show I got the idea from!)

Apperently, Adam gave Jadie money so she could buy pretzals from Bernie's. Keiki points out that Bernie isn't a common Leium name, and Jadie insists that all his friends call him that. Turns out that he has one friend, named Jadie.

Jadie says that it's a coinencidence. Right . . .

My Next Project

I want to write about my next project because I lost the last page of Outside Logic, and I have no desire to rewrite it. Oh, I probably will, so I can finish the story, but it will never be the same. Hopefully I find it soon.

Anyway, last Friday I went to my rival high school's musical with one of my friends (she goes to the school) and I loved it. (It was "The Civil War." Much better'n "Kiss me, Kate.") So I've started writing a musical. Today, the main charactor got a name. Torrey, the name of silence. It might be with one 'r.' I don't know. I've got two of the songs started, and one's almost finished, if you don't count the lyrics. I started the script today during band, because I was not going to play next year's marching music. It hurts too much.

Also, if anyone's interested in the Baskioccer scores from yesterday, it was: Twimster 6, Roowey 1. I had an improvement. Yesterday, it was Twim 5, Roo NONE. I scored a goal! Twim gets most of her points from fouls.

So, Jacob, maybe we could get together some evening and I'll teach you how to play the game. I can promise that unless by some odd fluke of nature you're worse'n me, you'll win.

And, Jenni, if you read this, same thing.

Sorry I Haven't Written

I don't know how many of you actually read this. (By 'you' I mean my friends who got an email about it). But just in case somebody besides . . . Joshua is reading it and not commenting and is wondering where I've been . . . (Not to say that you aren't wondering, Joshua. Just other people who DON'T COMMET.)

Anyway, I've been job hunting. I want to make more money. I currently make about $20 a week, which is like 5 cents an hour, 'cept I don't get paid by the hour. I would like a job that has minimum wage, at least.

Anyway, I had to go drop off a form at the mall, so I didn't write. I gave them my resume, too, even though they didn't ask. Then, when I was thinking about money and watching a 'Chobits' DVD where Hideki is looking for a job, I got a call about a job I didn't apply for. So I have an interview today. Yesterday, I looked for the place (I only know the address) but it's on a one-way road so I went in a lot of circles. I'm going to go again in about a half-hour, 'cause I looked on mapquest and even though I had the right section of road before, I should be about to find it now. In any case, I need to find it before 2:45.

Oh! Since my uncles are coming up for graduation, I'm teaching Kyra how to say 'uncle.' She's been picking up a lot of words lately. Everything except Auntie Roo! In any case, she says "Uh" every clearly, and a bit of a "le". Sometimes there's a C.

But this morning, she came up to me with a bunch of color crayons and said "Dah." It took me a moment, but I realized she wanted to color. (Actually, "draw.")

I lost part of my story, the last page, so hopefully I'll write about what happens after I rewrite the part I lost.

I Didn't Work on my Story

Sorry. But onna my 'friends' asked me about the Lieums yesterday, and they have quite an extensive background. You see . . .

The first Lieum story was about their favorite sport. Marching. They had humans do the marching. Obviously, they have always been slave holders. What's funny is that both Ben and Adam were in that story.

I'm still waiting, Twim!

Also, the origin of "Khibi." Oh, who can forget those freshmen years. I met . . . Jason, is it? . . . then. I think. And Khibi is a curse word that literally means 'bad.' I say it all the time. Twimmy doesn't, she curses. Sometimes she says "Khib" but it's rare. Me? I hardly curse, barring Khibi of course.

But Khibi was a Kinssa. He was a bad person, I guess, since they use his name for a curse word. I haven't given it much thought. I know he was Kinssa, but I don't know what he did to make everybody not like him. (Not hate. Never hate.) Maybe he was the first to go to the Lieum homeworld. Hmm.

Also, some of you somewhere who understand Kinssian know that Kinssa isn't a Kinssian word. And you're right. It's english. Oh, hold up! you say. That is not English, Roo. It is. It's an abbreviation. When the Kinssa came to Earth, they didn't really have a name like "human." During our middle ages, many Kinssa were knights. Knights in Shining Armour. Oh, that's all great, I hear you cry, but Kinssa has 2 s's, or haven't you noticed?

Yes, well, not all Kinssa are knights. But they are the "heroes of the universe." Anyway, it actually stands for Knights In Not So Shiny Armour. Shiny, never shinning. Bonus points to the person who knew the word Kinssa wasn't Kinssian!

On With the Story!!

Okay, where did I leave off yesterday? Okay.

Three hours after dinner is "sleep." Keiki apoligizes, pointing out that, ". . . Humans have gods because they're creative enough to 'invent' them, you know, realize that it's possible that they exist."

She explains that the Kinssa are 'Irriducible Complex,' that is, if they don't need it, they don't invent it. Hence why Jadie's never heard of television. (Or tenorvision, for that matter.)

Today I wrote mostly during band, because my father also woke up early and told me a bad joke. Trust me, even my bandmates didn't like it.

Okay, so Keiki and Jack are still talking. Jadie isn't there yet. That's kind of suspious, I guess, but nobody says anything. Jack and Keiki talk about how old the universe is. We all know about the cosmic clock. (Well, maybe not, but we do now.) That's Keiki's argument to Jack, who thinks the universe is only 6,000 years old. (This is based on the bible.) Jack is obviously a creation scientist. (Until we find out that he's never actually read the bible.)

Based on fossils on the Kinssian Homeworld, the planet is 2 billion years old. Jack argues that God put the fossils there to test their faith, which they never had. Keiki doesn't agree, but says that even if that were true, Kanaka, or Kinssa who can write, have been around for 2.3 million years. The Kinssa have lived evolution.

Jack wonders when the Kinssa became "genetically good." Keiki says that it was a trait derivied by Kanaka Ehi, or the first writers. She never corrects him. Except subtally.

Then he's all, "where's Jadie" 'cause it's almost lights out. Turns out, she's telling the Lieum Adam there plan. Oh! Bad idea! says Jack. Keiki disagrees. She's known him for 36 years (she don't look that old) and Jadie known him since birth.

"He-"

That's where I stopped. Dunno why. Class must've started. Or a tune in band. But I'll finish off the thought.

"He's on our side."

Re: Omni-whatever

I have no idea what the word is, but it starts with omni-. Obviously I have to do some reaserch in that area. Unfortainatly, I already turned the book back in.

The silent views of a Glorious Mind

Sorry. Again, for me.

Also, Jason, if you keep changing your name, people are going to wonder why I'm typing to continually changing names. Well, maybe not. Maybe you're the only person who reads this.

The Debate about God

The page that I wrote today is actually out in the car, so this is all from memory.

Jack asks Jadie if there is a god. She doesn't confirm or deny, and he leaves, angry. Now Jadie is angry, since even inherently good aliens get mad. She is mad at Keiki for telling Jack that God cannot possibly exist. Now, all Kinssa know the proof that God cannot exist, even Jadie.

If God exists, then He is omniescent. Either God can create a stone he cannot lift, or he cannot create a stone he cannot lift. If he can, then he's not omniescent. If he can't, then he's not omniescent. Therefore, God cannot exist.

(Trust me, if you do the proof and truth tables, you'll find that this is true.)

Well, Jade complains that faith is an important concept, and people who have nothing else should have faith, Faith brings people hope, and hope is the only thing some people have. (Thanks to crusading for glory!)

Then the subject of Jadie's mother comes up. This is really importaint. I still cannot revel who her mother is, since I haven't written it, but it is nonetheless very importaint. If they ever get back to the Kinssa homeworld it's going to be huge, and Jadie's going to hate every moment of it.

I know there's stuff I'm leaving out . . . maybe I'll get the computer at home and can add to this. If not, I'll do it tomorrow.

One last note (middle c), in my story, only Jadie calls Keiki 'Keik' and Keiki calls Jadie 'Jade'. I personally call Keiki and Jadie Keik and Jade, but I'm not in my story.

(Trill the c, I have more) When I finish my Logic story, or maybe tomorrow, the Chico and Sno show is going to start back up, for it's . . . fourth season. (They're going to Colorado Springs for their summer trip. I bet you can't guess why!)

What Happened Next

The Ramblings of a Psychotic Person

That is just a link. It's for me, so I don't get lost (it's my friends blog), but feel free to use it. There is no fee. Yet.

Okay, as to what happened next. I decided to go to the Offer scene. But not right away. First there's this part that says that weeks have gone by, and Jadie is beginning to feel that Jack is serious about wanting to rescue all the humans and Kinssa and whatnot who live under the rule of the Lieums. So she decides to show him Marky.

(Insert Marky and Offer scene)

After Jadie shares her plan (about reasoning with the Lieums) one of the humans 'snarkes' (I wrote this before school) and says, "Oh, Yeah. I'm sure the Lieums are really going to compromise."

Jack knows more about the Kinssa than any other human and says, "Do you got a better idea? One that the Kinssa can participate in?"

Nobody does. They decide to negociate with the Lieums. They have something the Lieums want. People who do all the work for them, leaving the Lieums to . . . mate or something. I don't imagine they're particullary bright. They're eating mush, by the way. This is importaint later.

Actually, the Lieums do want Jadie, but I cannot, at this time, tell you why. It's not that I don't know, I just don't want to ruin the suprise. The only clue I'll give you is that she has a lucky nature, and somebody is bound to know why that's importaint. Well, maybe not. Did anybody read my last Kinssa story? About Kulia? No? All right.

They decide to protest by not working. They are going to have a peaceful sit in (Or "sittity in"). They have no 'demands' because some Kinssa (***Keiki***) don't like that word. Instead, they have requests. Then Jadie leaves after Jack says "May God be with us."

She has to wash her hands. Remember the mush? Well, it's practically Killer Mush. Kinssian law dictates that you must wash your hands after eating the stuff. And not because of germs. The stuff hardens. It becomes impossible to get off, no matter what you do. At the same time, it's extremly sticky. If you touch anything you become perminatly attached. Then Jack comes in. This is where it ends because my botony class started. (That was where I was headed this morning.)

A Note to Crusading for Glory (sp?)

An aside to C4G, that was really insightful. Do you mind if I use it in my story? (The whole 'faith' part.) That is compleatly Jadie's point of veiw, and I know she said something about that, but your words were better. Thanks for letting me know!

I had graduation practice again. The school is PROBABLY going to let me sit in an outside seat. You know, at the end of the rows. And band was short.

I've got to go to class, so I'll write about my story after school gets out.

What's Gonna Happen Next??

I just wanna say one thing: the weekend was too short.

Okay, back to my story. I finished Jadie and Jack's whole conversation about breeding. Jack wonders why Jadie spent a whole page explaining this to him, and figures it must be her area of expertise. But what does he know? He's only human!

I have no idea what's going to happen next. I may jump to the Offer and Marky scene, or possibly his fight with Keiki, but I think that's going to happen later. You know, the whole whether God exists or not fight.

And that fight is the whole reason why I'm writing this story. You see, I was able to prove that God cannot exist using logic, but I knew that it couldn't be that easy. Besides, it kinda ruins the whole 'faith' thing, even if I am agnostic.

Okay, also, if anybody has any idea about what happens next, just leave me a note . . .

Re: Muse

You know what? I have no idea where the ideas come from. I guess I'm just really creative. I've been writing stories since I could write.

Most of my ideas come to me while I'm working on the story. It's like, "What would happen next?" and sometimes the ideas are so creative I make myself laugh.

When I'm not writing, I'm still often working on my stories. I like to play-act, which is a lot like pretending, but not quite the same thing.

This morning I was watching Sliders, I could NOT think of what I wanted to write. I had writer's block. Of course, I knew I had posted an idea here, so I had to read it. I was thinking about having Jadie hunt Square-o's . . .

OH! By the way, while watching the Sliders piolet, I noticed a 'guest star' who was awful familar! Gary Jones! I told my mom, and she was like, "Who?" I told her 'the cheveron guy.' (You know 'Cheveron one . . . encoded!') She said, "You mean Walter?"

Yeah. Walter.

I gotta go write now, 'cause I'm the only one home and my dad hates it when I'm on the internet for more than 10 minuets.

Again, drivers with guns don't kill people, drivers with cell phones do. Hang up and drive!

Random Musings on Band

I started writing this tune this morning which I call Beautiful Blue Eyes, however, the title is subject to change without warning. I had a discussion with Mr. J. about whether it should be in 3/4 or 6/8, 'cause if it's in both, we're switching every two measures.

I don't know who won the J.P. Sousa Award yet, but Mr. J. says that it's really close between 3 or 4 people. They're only about a vote apart. I'd like to think that one of them is me, another is Lynsi, and one more is my arch-enemy, but as Jack says, "Hell, I hope not." Not very many people like her. I have no idea beyond that.

I want to skip Botony again. It's not like I have a test today. I have a lab instead. It's for 2 hours, I think, maybe 3, but if you'll recall, I hate botony. Even labs.

I think that's it. Everything that's happened in the last . . . days. (Since yesterday, I think.)

Drive safely. (Cell phones kill!)

Can Aliens Interbreed?

For "Crying on the Inside" here's a little bit more of the story.

(Actually, first I'd like to say that I haven't worked on it at all today. This morning I was busy composing.)

So . . . Where'd I leave off? Oh, yes. The escape plan. So Jack and Jadie are eating, and Keiki would be too, since she and Jadie are both on the "same" schedual. What I mean is that they eat and sleep at the same time. All their different "periods" where they work are compleatly different. And Jack is just following Jadie around.

Jack's plan is probably going to involve killing a lot of Lieums, or at least the ones who get in the way. But the Kinssa are inheirently good, as I've said, and they all know that killing is wrong in almost every case. (Or maybe every case, but if someone's trying to kill you I think they should be able to do something about it. Poke 'em in the eye or something.)

There'll probably be some kind of fight, but I don't know yet. After all, I skipped a bunch to get to the Marky and Offer scene.

Okay, the last thing going on the main story, the one that doesn't jump scenes all the time is where Jadie has 'garden' and is talking to Jack about why there are no half-breed Kinssa.

What's gonna happen is Jade's gonna say that some different aliens can interbreed, such as the Nohnay (or None, as I like to call them) and the Kinssa. But they have a commen ancestor. (Actually, if I remember correctly, the Nohnay are half Kinssa and half human. Maybe Jadie doesn't know that.) So Jack asks about the Lieums. Jadie says that they can't interbreed with the Kinssa. "Trust me. I know."

How does she know?

A Resonable Title Goes Here

I just finished my band scholarship essay. It's due tomorrow, just in case anybody cares.

I worked on OL,OBO today during band. All we learned was that there is a sattillate called 'Offer,' that was built by the Kinssa. The Kinssa thought Offer was a human god, perhaps the god of sadness. It seems they didn't understand the meaning of "Oh, for cryin' out loud!"

At dinner, Jack tries to figure out why Jadie showed him Marky and Offer. Did she have an escape plan already? Well, yeah. But it isn't very good. Her plan involves negotiating with the Lieum. (Remember, Kinssa are inheriently good.)

We voted on the John Phillips Sousa award today. I feel like I have an unfair advantage. Both band vote, and I am the only senior in both bands. In fact, I am the only senior in Concert Band. I kind of hope I win, but if I do, I'll feel that it was unfair and complain about it to Mr. J. who will get annoyed with me like always. I don't really care who wins, so long as it's not my arch-enemy.

I bought Twimmy her birthday present today (Happy Birthday Twim!). I bought her Mario Party Five, 'cause that's what she wanted.

Now I must go register, turn in my application to Sizzler, and go eat lunch.

Late Start Wednesday

That's what today is. Late start. So I don't have to go to high school this morning. (Why go for 10 minetes?)

Yesterday, Kyra's daddy came over. She wanted to wrestle with me instead of being locked in with her parents, and it turns out she's pretty good. She kicked me in the face and headbutted me pretty hard.

This morning I got up early even though I stayed up last night to watch a movie about 'serial mom.' I couldn't believe I was still up at the "agreed-upon time." I really hope that old "early to bed, early to rise" thing is true. And applies to females. I'd love to be healthy, wealthy and wise.

I want to skip Botany today. I hate that class. I literally sit through the whole class thinking, "I hate this class." Needless to say, I don't learn a whole lot. The only reason I'm not skipping today is 'cause there's a test. Test #2, says the syllibus.

Oh, yeah. My ex-boyfriend got accepted to Western! Yea! (We parted on good terms. I think. At least, I parted on good terms. What's funny about it is when I told my grandparents, they were more upset than I ever was about the breakup. They liked him. But I knew we were gonna break up. It didn't suprise me at all. I realized that I had known for months. I still miss him. Sometimes I think it'd be nice if we were still going out, but I know he's not the "someone just for me," and I gotta find the "someone just for me." However, I doubt that I ever will, but still, I am hopeful.) (And thanks, Aaron, for introduing me to "Chobits." I love the books.)

I, on the other hand, did not get accepted to Western. But I didn't want to go anyway. I'm applying for Winter quarter as soon as I sign up for classes. Or today, if I remember to mail the thing in.

I didn't write anymore; I did a crossword puzzle this morning instead. But I did learn, through playacting, that the Kinssa can try to intimidate each other, but as they are inherintly good, they don't succeed very well. Halfway through, they'll be like. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. May the best Kinssa win." I was suprised they have compitions at all. Maybe it's universal.

Well, I gotta go to class and cram for the test. Good luck to me. And you, too, if you need it.

Advising Day

Advising day is actually Thursday, but I'm looking for classes right now (9 credits worth, perferably). I'm gonna take music 1-oh-somethin', but I have no idea what the other four will be. Huh.

(It's 105, by the way. I just looked.)

'Nyway, today I took my first step towards breaking my math problem habit. (Actually, I chew pens while doing math.) Last year, I started chewing gum during math. Now, I have a hard time chewing gum for a long period of time, but luckily, it keeps the pens out of my mouth. (My logic teacher always stares at me. I think it's funny. But what he's probably thinking is something like, "This reminds me of a Simpsons episode." He said that a lot when I took philosophy from him.

Today Jadie showed Jack the spaceship the Lieums call "Markilidili." Jadie (and the rest of the Kinssa, she implys, though they wouldn't know about it) calls it "Marky" for short. Bonus points if you know why I decided the ship's name is Marky. (*hint* It's from an old movie that starred a famous child actor.)

And a Happy Mother's Day to You

Well, first I'd like to say that on Saturday there was this party that I was planning to go to, 'cause my old best friend was going, but my neice got a new stroller, and . . . well, I ended up in the emergency room. And, no, I don't wanna talk about it. (I just tell my friends that it involved the baby, a stroller and the emergency room and leave it at that.)

I didn't end up going to the party, 'cause I got out of the hospital at three, the time the party was s'pose to be over.

Mother's day was interesting. Twimmy and I bought plants. (Someday I'm gonna halfta tell you guys the Twim story. It involves detention.) When Twimmy came home, she made ravioli (sp?) for dinner, which my mother abhors. Kyrie'd been whining for awhile, so my mom spanked her and sent her to her room, which Twim didn't like, so they had a big fight. My dad threatened to leave again. But now I'm sure he'll take me with him.

After Mom apoligized, Kyra tried to eat the telephone cord, and apparently my mom handled that wrong too 'cause Twim and her fought some more. I was thinking about staying in my room for the rest of forever. It's all Khibi when those two fight. That's the first big fight in my house since Kyra was born.

And let's see . . . I paid my book fine today. I again polietly suggested that maybe they got teefed (stolen) but the librarian quickly dismissed that idea again. Hopefully they find the books. I want my money back.

Oh, yeah. I'm going to apply for a job at Sizzler's 'cause it'd be better pay than what I'm making now.

Oh, and about that book thing--since I'm only at school two periods a day, I went to talk to the library first period (after attendance was taken, of course. People are used to me just walking out whenever 'cause of my SA). Well, the library took longer than expected, and then I went to pay my fine, which took forever! and inbetween all these steps I talked to my friend Andrea. So I took the better part of the hour not in class. I wonder if I got marked truant. I think I should have been. But Mr. J. never asked where I was, so I suppose he never noticed, or, if he did, really didn't care that I was gone, after all, I am a trouble-maker, etc, etc.

(Actually, I'm not. He just says that 'cause I don't talk much.)

Outside Logic OBO

That's what the title of my story is. But it's probably going to change since I didn't mean to write OBO (or best offer), I meant to put OBT (or best title). But I think it's kinda cute.

I'll get to the story in a minute. Somebody must wonder about my personal life (I know it's not me!).

Anyway, since all I take at high school are two periods of band, I had two playing tests today. This morning I couldn't play second periods, but I got 100 on it. That was luck. First period, though, I'm still having trouble with. I got an 85. Not too bad, though.

Okay, enough about my life. I'm exicted about the Kinssa. Today, I wrote two pages during the playing tests. I got to part two of the story. But first, part one.

Jadie learns about television. (Or 'tenorvision' as she calls it.) Apperently, the Kinssa invented ships that are capible of going to other universes, but they never invented TV. A shame. The Lieums have a saying that goes, 'The Kinssa have no imagination whatsoever.'

They call the lake Lake Kinssa. ("Original" -- Jack)

Earlier, Jadie did tell Jack why Universe Jumping is impossible. (It's a closed system.) But Keiki, with her genetic memory, says that there may have been a project going on, but she doesn't know for sure.

Okay: part two. Jadie has "garden" after "serve." (Another example of Kinssa creativity.) Jadie like to hunt Square-0's (Squirrels) and chipitymonks. Apperently, she always mishears humans. But Jack's not allowed to hunt, so they fish. Jadie hates fishing.

They talk about how Kinssa are inherently good. As part of that, the subject of inter-species mating comes up. Jadie says it's unlikely to have a half-kinssa, because humans and Kinssa don't have sex naturally in the wild. ("Hell, I hope not." -- Jack). Jadie explains that in order to be the same speciese, any off-spring they would have would have to be fertile. Unlike "Donkitties" and "Horsitties" ("Whore cities?!" -- Jack, again.) I think the Kinssa language has a lot of -itties in it. (I wonder, if Jadie came to Earth, if she'd drink pepsity.)

The offer for typing the story is still good. Just let me know. (I think it's better than it sounds, if it sounds bad.) Just wait 'til we get to the part where Keiki proves to Jack that God doesn't exist.

Anyway, I gotta work on my essay. Goodnight, even though it's only 10:30 am.

"Calculating God"

I read a book last night, "Calculating God," and it was really interesting. I was up until 10:00, which is really late for me, considering what time I get up in the morning. I slept in.

I got it from the library because it is the opposite of my "Against Logic" stories, as I'm calling them now. Basically, this alien comes to Earth with proof that God really does exist. The Kinssa, on the other hand, have proof that God doesn't exist.

Regarding this whole whether-or-not a god exists business, I don't necessarly agree with the the Kinssa as a whole. Jadie admits that most of the Kinssa are atheists. However, Jadie is not, and, later, it is reveled that Keiki is not (after almost destroying Jack's faith). Both Keiki and Jadie are agnostic, willing to believe that it is possible that some deity exists. But neither one thinks that "God" should be worshipped, if he does exist. As Jadie says, "If I were God, I wouldn't want people constantly praying to me saying 'oh, thanks for the good weather!'"

What I actually wrote today:

1. I finished the sceen where Jadie and Jack are looking at the Kinssian writing on the walls, and Jadie finds a mistake.(Some old Kinssian scholar wrote up in a discreet area that "On the first day, a deity created light and it was good" and Jadie knows that back when that was written, no Kinssian believed that. Of course, it's all in geometric shapes that stand for ideas, not words, and have lots of meanings, so the mystery is quickly solved. Read it backwards and it says that at the time that the Lieums (the bad guys) came, there were three million billion Kinssa that were on off-world missions. Of course, 'off-world' is 'spelt' wrong, and Jadie realizes that the meaning is 'not in this universe.)

2. They go find Keiki who is fishing. Jack comments on the purple trees, Jadie is offended (or so one would assume. She made a comment about her purple hair) and Jadie thinks humans are dull. Eventually Jack is going to ask why the Kinssa would need such colorful hair (after all, the Kinssa have proved evolution). I'm not going to say why, because I'm not positive yet. (That doesn't mean I have no idea. I actually have one, but it might change.) However, I'm not sure where the sceen is going. Originally, it did help, but I changed the storyline a little.

In other news, last night I was playing "I'm going to get you" with my niece (such a creative name) where I let her crawl in front of me, and tell her that--well, you know from the title. Anyway, I guess she likes being tickled, because she'll crawl for a little bit and then suddanly lay down nonchalantly as if maybe she fell or something and wait for me to get her. It's so cute.

Also, her birthday is coming up soon, and I'm suppose to get her the "Pocohauntus" DVD. What I'm actually getting her is musical instruments.

By the way, if anybody actually reads the stuff I write (I know I don't) and wants to read the Kinssa story, let me know. This way I know whether to spend my Friday afternoons working on my Anth paper or typing up stories about Jadie, Jack, and Keiki.

Shade and sweet water!

Random Musings . . . Again

I'd just like to say that today was horrible. It was just ONE thing that ruined my day. Marching practice. To me, marching practice means getting out Toni (my flute) and freezing while we practice our halftime show. But that is not what they mean by 'marching practice' in May.

They mean graduation practice, which does not involve any actually marching.

The reason this bothered me had nothing to do with band. You remember that library fine I talked about? Well, to date I STILL have to pay for the library's Khibing incompetece.

But that wasn't really it either. I have a social anxiety disorder, which basically means I don't like people (remember, I'm putting this in simple terms). I never wanted to walk. After seeing last year's graduation, I knew that it wasn't for me.

However, my uncles are coming up from Texas. That is the only reason I'm walking.

Anyway, that's why it ruined my day. I feel forced to walk. I know I'm not, but that's how I feel.

On a compleatly different note (C major), I've been working on my stories Untitled recently. Basically, there are three races (human, Kinssa, and Lieum) who live on one planet. I'm not sure what the planet's name is, because when Jack asked, Keiki said "Hell" and we all know she was joking. But it's the Lieum homeworld.

Anyway, a long time ago, the Lieums captured all the Kinssa (or so they say) and now the Kinssa are the Lieums slaves. And so are humans. But at this point in time, we don't much about the humans, except Jack, and he's new.

Jadie is the main character. I'd like to point out that 'Jadie' is not a common Kinssian name. She was actually named after the Lieum goddess of Luck, and I forget her name. (Jade was named by a Lieum.) She has a lucky nature (hince her name) and she has purple hair and indigo eyes. (She hates the combination of her hair, eyes, and name). She's also very curious. "I get it from my father."

Keiki is Jadie's best friend. They are very different. At this point in time, the only thing I know about Keiki is that she likes fishing, she doesn't have a curious or lucky nature, her name means "Child" in Kinssian, and she follows the old ways a lot more stricktly than Jadie does. And she has a shale necklace. She also believes that nothing can exist outside of logic.

That's it for now, I think. I hope to write more later. Maybe talk about the whole Kinssian/Lieum/human view of god-like beings.
