All the other kids with their pumped up kicks better run, better run, faster than my gun. (That might just be more today.)

I know they're in completely different locations, and completely different looking boys, but Koichirou and Saki from Go-on meeting some day while looking for the Forest Spirits is now canon in my head.

Not making any promises of me writing this, just saying. :P

I'm taking this off of chibi_hidaka, 'cause I'm still here, and I do want to keep in touch with you guys.

So, Day 1-A recent picture of you and five interesting facts about you



Crappy DSi picture, but my camera isn't working properly.

Interesting Facts*
*Not guaranteeing you don't already know these facts, or will find them remotely interesting

Interesting Fact 1: I'm a middle sibling.
Interesting Fact 2: I'm currently playing Pokemon Diamond, and just need to beat the Elite 4.
Interesting Fact 3: I can make sock monkeys, rabbits, elephants, cats, and bears.
Interesting Fact 4: I can curl my tongue and flip it over.
Interesting Fact 5:...I've been trying to come up with a last interesting fact for ten minutes and really can't come up with anything. :| I miss you all!

( Next 29 days )

Currently updated from my DSi 'cause it's faster than the computer that is working and mom took her laptop to Nan's.

I downloaded a Flash upgrade last night and between that, spyware and a few years of memory it crashed and burned.

Dad's replacing that computer, and I'm replacing the craptastic old computer that still runs on Win98. :D

Okay, maybe the old crap comp would have been faster after all :p

I wasn't going to do this, but then it wouldn't stop poking ideas at me.

( My Girl Sentai, and Blue Ranger Sentai )

First post. Not sure I'll use this much, but as Meg said it's a good back-up in case LJ folds.

Hmm, so yeah, was going to upload a picture, but the insert image thing doesn't like me. So...yeah. I'll find more friendly type people as I go.
