I had another crazy dream earlier. Of course I was going to write about it after I got up but I ended up not doing it. So, of course, it was about me and him.
Let's see. There was a date to go see a concert (I think a school concert. Possibly at the high school.), a ride on the moped, and Dad, Leon, and I think Sarah and Char standing and sitting in a kitchen (ours or theirs?) when we returned. That's all that I can recall. But I do remember that I quite enjoyed myself going out on a date with him.
I bet that dates all around the world tend to be good. I think that I would like to go out on a date with anyone as long as I would be able to enjoy myself. I would bet that a date with him would be good. Well, at least, I hope that it would be good. I just hope that I would be able to enjoy myself when I'm with him. I also hope that we wouldn't get into an argument like we always did when we were around each other or when we were chatting on MSN Messenger. A date is supposed to be good, fun, exciting, all of the positive words that are out there.
Well, it's not like I would be going out with him anyway. No matter how much I wanted to be with him and the once-in-a-while regrets I have.
Well, that's that! Nothing else. I just wonder what a date would be like.
Yes, I know. I know that I am 22 years old and I have never been on a date so don't start with me!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra ROCKED!!
As you know, I purchased Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets for Dad back in late September or early October. When I got the tickets, I waited for Mom to get home so that she could see his reaction when I gave them to him. I recorded his reaction. I just have to put it on a computer (probably mine).
On Saturday, December 3, 2011, Mom, Dad, and I went to Rosemont, Illinois to see TSO at the 3:00 P.M. (4:00 P.M. our time) show. I was so excited when it was the last week before the concert. On Friday night, I burned the "Christmas Eve & Other Stories" CD and added "Wizards in Winter" and "Requiem" to it. As soon as we left home and up to Rosemont and down to Aunt Lynn's and on the way home, we listened to both CDs ("Christmas Eve & Other Stories" and "The Christmas Attic") over and over again.
They played "Wizards in Winter," "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 14/24," "Ornament," "Old City Bar," "Requiem" (with the music video playing on the screens), A Mad Russian's Christmas, and others that I know that I am forgetting. But still! At the beginning, they played a song that I never heard before but thought that it was awesome. Yesterday, when I looked for the song, it took me up to an hour to find it. When I found it, I could not stop listening to it. I am currently listening to it! The song is "Who I Am." There was another song that they played that I have never heard before. It was "Someday." It was sung by a woman and after it was kind of slow, it totally became a rock song.
The lights were so awesome. The laser screens, the lasers, the lights, the catwalk... All of the lights were awesome. Sure, at some parts it blinded you but it was totally worth it! I was afraid before the concert that throughout it all, Dad would be like, "Look at that light. Look at this one," rather than enjoying the thing.
And at the end of the songs at the beginning, Dad was only clapping. And I was thinking, Great. I spent $400 on tickets for TSO and he doesn't like it. But then when he first hollered at the end of one of the songs, I was like, Whew! Thank goodness! He is enjoying it! I didn't spend $400 on tickets. It was more like $365 but you get the idea.
Getting through Chicago was chaotic. It was backed up for a long time. Mom was complaining about it and I'm just sitting there while taking photos and not complaining because I knew that we would be going to go see TSO. After the concert, as we were driving past the Allstate Arena, Dad asked Mom if going through all of that traffic was well worth it. She said something and I thought, That doesn't answer his question. Then he said that it doesn't answer his question and she said yes.
After we left the Allstate Arena building, Dad said that it was one of the best Christmas presents he had received while he wrapped an arm around me to hug me because we were walking and he was holding onto Mom. I was so happy to hear that he quite enjoyed it. I am also glad that Mom quite enjoyed it herself.
When Dad told Aunt Lynn that we went to see TSO and that Mom and I both knew since summer what Dad was getting, Aunt Lynn said that she bet it was hard for Mom to keep quiet. It was hard for her. It was even hard for me. And I was the one who decided to get the tickets and to keep it hush-hush. And then someone said something and I looked at Mom and she winked at me a couple of times because we knew what Dad was getting for Christmas. And it is still a secret between the both of us. All he knows is that his present is in an envelope. I told Mom just to pretend that it is another set of TSO tickets rather than Blue Man Group tickets.
I can't wait to see his face when he finds out he has BMG tickets. I think I'll have to give it to him when Sarah's not around so that she doesn't know that I've been getting tickets for only Mom, Dad, and me.
But yeah. Trans-Siberian Orchestra ROCKED!!!! We're already planning on going for another year. This time with Sarah and possibly Aunt Lynn and Bill. I don't care who else goes just so long as Mom, Dad, and I can go again.
Whoo-hoo!!! TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA!!!!!!!

What "Family Traditions"??
Happy Thanksgiving, 2011!!
So, I am stuck in my room today. Why? Because our family tradition of sitting down together as a family (even while dinner is cooking) is ruined. Why? Because my mom is watching football. I just knew that I would be in my room today. I told Dad that only stupid families watch football and that we are not a stupid family. The thing is is that stupid families watch football rather than sit down together as a family and watch holiday movies together. And here my "family" is. Being a stupid family.
So, here I am, sitting on my bed, listening to Disturbed's Hell, and, okay, plain and simple, on the Internet. Yesterday, I figured that I would stay in my room all day unless it was necessary (such as getting something to eat or drink or whatever). Once again, I just knew that we wouldn't sit down together as a family.
Watch. At Christmas, we'll open our presents together and go our separate ways. No family time.
Great! I am on the verge of crying because we're not a family anymore. I bet everyone else in the family is sitting down together and doing things as a family.
Why is it that I am trying to preserve us as being a family? I mean, even during the normal year, I try to get us (at least Mom, Dad, and me) to sit down and enjoy a movie night together once in a while. But that has never happened. Amazingly, the only time the three of us will probably act as a normal family is when we go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra next weekend. All I want is for us to be a family rather than four individuals who happen to be living in the same house!
If I ever have a family of my own, there will absolutely be no football, no regular television, no computer access, no ANYTHING!! If we want to watch TV, we do it as a family and we watch holiday movies.
Why can't I have a family that has people who actually want to sit down together as a family and enjoy the holidays?

Take-Out
GOD! I am so sick and tired of Pizza Hut. Every single time dad wants to get take-out, it is always Pizza Hut. The only time we get a variety is when mom is home (whether she has the day off or she goes and gets dinner after work). Although, with mom, there is never any real variety. It is always McDonald's.
So, with dad it is Pizza Hut. With mom, it is always McDonald's.
What about Burger King?! Or Subway?! Or Arby's?! Or what about KFC/Taco Bell?!
I mean, I do not care what we eat but I am sick and tired of eating the same thing every single time we get take-out. I am pretty sure steak or chicken or pork lovers would get sick and tired if they only ate steak or chicken or pork every single time they have dinner. I am pretty sure they would be like, "What about sausage or eggs or hot dogs or whatever else there is to eat?" I am pretty sure they would want a variety in there somewhere.
But apparently only with dad it is Pizza Hut and with mom it is McDonald's. BOOOOOORRRIIIIIINNNGGG!!!!!!

The Latest on Alles Was Zählt
Written on October 10, 2011.
Late last week, I finally finished downloading the episodes to Alles Was Zählt. When I watched the episodes leading up to Roman's death and after on YouTube as I was getting the URLs, I started to bawl as usual. And then I watched Friday's episode and I was bawling again. I fear that for the last couple of weeks that I can watch AWZ on Youtube, I am going to be bawling. Deniz is taking it so hard.
When Florian sat some of Roman's things in a box on the kitchen counter, Deniz went to the box and picked up one thing after another and would be like, "This was his favorite shirt," or "He bought this when we went to the flea market," or whatever he said. When he was mentioning memories, I bawled. I think that he is going to have a hard time getting over Roman's death. Even I am going to have a hard time getting over his death whenever I watch those last episodes of him and those episodes where Deniz is suffering without Roman.
Oh! And from Friday's episode, I bawled the most I think. The reason is, because, after Deniz mentioned a few memories, Florian took Deniz to Roman's grave. Flo told him that he would give him a few minutes. Almost immediately, Deniz broke down. When he broke down, I broke down. Deniz told Roman that Roman had picked a beautiful spot. Deniz told him that he does not know how he is going to go on without him. It took me a few minutes to calm down after I finished the episode.

The End of Deniz and Roman
Written on September 29.
Well, I was right about saying that I would most likely cry again when I watch Roman die. I finished watching the show on Tuesday. As soon as it was getting the last episode or two before Roman and Deniz go to the beach, I think I started crying at almost every moment (specifically when Roman collapses or something). When Roman said, "This is a good day to die," I started to cry. And then when Roman and Deniz were at the ice rink, obviously I cried. And all of the episodes that followed (including the latest one that was posted on YouTube on Monday or Tuesday) I cried. I probably spent a good half-hour, hour, maybe even up to an hour and a half just crying.
I am surprised that dad did not come in and ask what was going on. I was gasping for breath; I was crying out loud I think; and I kept sniffing. When I went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror, my eyes were puffy and my nose was red. I was surprised that dad or Sarah did not ask anything.
I cried when everyone cried; I cried when everyone watched their DVD that Roman had made for each of them; I cried when Roman (on the DVD) cried; I cried when Deniz went to the very spot on the beach that he and Roman had went; I cried all over the place.
I have already downloaded two videos on Deniz and Roman. Which reminds me... I watched the video where the people who play Deniz and Roman talked about Roman's death. The guy who plays Deniz said that in real life, he keeps himself separated from anything that has to deal with death. When the video showed them having to redo the scene, the guy either said s*** or f***. I do not remember which. I will tell you this: For being an actor who keeps himself away from death, he did an excellent job in portraying the emotions of Deniz. And I do not blame him. Because when I was getting off of the bed, I was like, "And this is why I don't want anything to do with death," or something like that.
It is very sad to know that Roman died and Deniz is all alone in the world. I am kind of really hoping for an early death for Deniz that way he could be with Roman. Like I have been saying in my other blogs: They really do deserve each other. They belong together. And they love each other very, very, very much.

Alles Was Zählt
Written on September 27
So, the latest with me and Alles Was Zählt is that I am in the 1,200 episode range. I think around 1,228 or so. I got so far in one day because about one hundred episodes were missing.
I saw the episode where Roman tells Deniz that he has a brain tumor. But before that, in the episode I finally got to start watching again (after the huge break), I found out that Deniz slep with some lady. Roman broke up with him, and Deniz moved out. So anyway, Roman collapsed and was taken to the hospital. When he got back to his office, come to find out, he has a tumor. Actually, you do not find out what happened to him until he tells Deniz. As he is trying to tell him, he is crying. When he finally tells him, Deniz is in shock. End of the episode.
At the beginning of the next epiosde, Deniz cries with Roman, and they hug each other. And then later on, Roman says that he can't stand Deniz being there (in the flat (Deniz moved back in so that he could watch over Roman)). Deniz gives Roman the key and shuts the door (which is locked). You see (and Deniz hears) Roman collapse onto the floor. After a minute or two trying, Deniz busts open the door and gets Roman to sit up. Roman starts to cry and tells him that either he does not want to die or he is scared to die to which Deniz responds by holding him. End of that episode. Trust me when I say that I was crying when Roman and Deniz were crying. I gasped whenever I would see Roman start to lose his balance.
I hope that Deniz and Roman get back together before Roman dies. I think that I am going to cry again when I see Roman die. I just with that they would have told each other that they love each other rather than Deniz being like, "It's okay. It's going to be all right," over and over again. I mean, it is almost the same exact thing as Jack and Ianto. Ianto told Jack that he loved him and they talked about Jack remembering him or not. With Deniz and Roman, it was not said at all. Just that everything was going to be okay.
Oh, which reminds me, yesterday, when I was in class before it started, I watched clips from the last episode in which it shows Florian. When he was talking to the funeral home manager and when Florian was upset at parts, I was crying. I was crying at school!
But back to Deniz and Roman... Like I said, I hope that they get together before Roman dies. They deserve each other after all of the crap that they have been through (cheating, someone having to leave for work, et cetera). Especially now that they need each other. Roman deserves it. He deserves to be with Deniz one more time.

Deniz & Roman
Written on September 27.
So, yesterday (and this morning) I was having heart attacks left and right when I was watching Alles Was Zählt. One of the biggest things that gave me a heart attack was when Roman's old flame from ten years ago showed up and things progressed from there.
Yes, Roman kissed and slept with the guy. He was even sleeping with the guy before Deniz went to New York for a photo shoot! And then Deniz walked into the flat after getting groceries (he had been back for a couple of days) and saw Roman and the guy kissing. Roman's cheating devastated everyone. Especially Deniz and Roman. Deniz ended up kicking (well, actually, literally shoving) Roman out. Marian (Deniz's father) was mad that his would-be future son-in-law cheated on his son.
Whenever any of their friends or Marian saw Roman and/or the guy (especially Roman), they would ignore them. If they wanted something to eat or drink, the person would practically throw it down in front of them. One example is with the guy and Annette. He went to her fry stand and asked for some fries. She nearly threw it at him. Even when he asked about ketchup and napkins, she nearly threw it at him. Because she knew he was stealing Roman from Deniz.
At one point, when Deniz told Roman that it was over between them, Roman was in the men's locker room and in walks the guy. Well, obviously you know what is going to happen. As Roman (whose shirt was off and pants were undone) playfully crawled away from the guy (whose shirt was either partially or all the way undone and his pants were undone), in walks Deniz and Marian. The look on both Marian and Deniz's faces was pure murder. They were so ticked that I thought they were going to punch Roman and the guy. When Deniz stepped forward, I thought that he was going to kick Roman in the stomach because he was still on the floor. Instead, he spat on him. When I saw that, I was quite shocked.
And then Deniz was so mad at Roman that he (Deniz) slept with some guy. The following morning, he was afraid he might have gotten AIDS from the guy. Roman had stopped by the flat and it also scared the crap out of him when he was told. But he was still there for Deniz. When Deniz and Marian found out that the tests came back negative, Deniz left to go find Roman. When Roman saw Deniz smile, they ran to each other. The look on Roman's face when they were hugging was pure relief, like, "Thank you, God. He's all right." And then, in a moment of pure bliss, and forgetfullness, Deniz kissed Roman. Then he was like, "I'm sorry." And then they ignored each other.
And then at this wedding, they looked at each other (they were sitting on opposite sides of the aisle)! And at the reception, when Roman was getting ready to leave since there was no point in him staying since he was not going to dance, Deniz appeared and held out his hand for Roman to take. Well, let me just say that when they kissed, Ingo, Annette, and Vanessa jumped for joy. So, Deniz and Roman made up! I am so happy for the both of them!
When Roman was screwing the guy, I always kept on saying, "Don't do it, Roman. Don't..." And then when he did, my breath always caught because he was cheating on Deniz. At several points, I was like, "Why don't you just dump Deniz, huh?" Why don't you just go riding off into the sunset with this loser!" When he talked to Annette, he said that he loved both Deniz and the guy. And then I had this interesting one-sided conversation with Roman. I told him that when someone loves somebody else, they do not go and cheat on that person, even if they are gone for several days.
Plain and simple, what it comes down to is that I am happy that they are together!

As Roman (whose shirt was off and pants were undone) playfully crawled away from the guy (whose shirt was either partially or all the way undone and his pants were undone), in walks Deniz and Marian. The look on both Marian and Deniz's faces was pure murder. They were so ticked that I thought they were going to punch Roman and the guy. When Deniz stepped forward, I thought that he was going to kick Roman in the stomach because he was still on the floor. Instead, he spat on him. When I saw that, I was quite shocked.
And then Deniz was so mad at Roman that he (Deniz) slept with some guy. The following morning, he was afraid he might have gotten AIDS from the guy. Roman had stopped by the flat and it also scared the crap out of him when he was told. But he was still there for Deniz. When Deniz and Marian found out that the tests came back negative, Deniz left to go find Roman. When Roman saw Deniz smile, they ran to each other. The look on Roman's face when they were hugging was pure relief, like, "Thank you, God. He's all right." And then, in a moment of pure bliss, and forgetfullness, Deniz kissed Roman. Then he was like, "I'm sorry." And then they ignored each other.
And then at this wedding, they looked at each other (they were sitting on opposite sides of the aisle)! And at the reception, when Roman was getting ready to leave since there was no point in him staying since he was not going to dance, Deniz appeared and held out his hand for Roman to take. Well, let me just say that when they kissed, Ingo, Annette, and Vanessa jumped for joy. So, Deniz and Roman made up! I am so happy for the both of them!
When Roman was screwing the guy, I always kept on saying, "Don't do it, Roman. Don't..." And then when he did, my breath always caught because he was cheating on Deniz. At several points, I was like, "Why don't you just dump Deniz, huh?" Why don't you just go riding off into the sunset with this loser!" When he talked to Annette, he said that he loved both Deniz and the guy. And then I had this interesting one-sided conversation with Roman. I told him that when someone loves somebody else, they do not go and cheat on that person, even if they are gone for several days.
Plain and simple, what it comes down to is that I am happy that they are together!
School On No Sleep
Written on September 26.
So, I am currently at school working on no sleep. Although I did at least close my eyes for about twenty-five minutes. I have been up since about noon yesterday and it is a little after ten in the morning. I was on the verge of falling asleep in Photography.
Why was I up so late? Why am I still up? Well, I can't answer that first question because I have not gotten any sleep. I can answer the second question easily. I am still up because of school! And I can answer an extra question of what has kept me up. And what has kept me up was Alles Was Zählt.
Yeah, when I got up yesterday, I was on episode 901. And there were things that kept me from continuing to watch it. Things such as going to Martin's for groceries, stopping at Leon and Char's to see how she was doing, a shower, et cetera. So, I figured that 950 would be my goal before going to bed. Well, then it was 970, 980, et cetera.
It still continued to 7:15 or 7:20 this morning with episode 1,018, I think. So, I watched over one hundred episodes and that is my goal before going to bed. Well, at least on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays it would have to be cut short (probably fifty episodes).

A New Show
Written on September 23.
So, three days ago, I discovered a new show. I was watching music videos about Blay and Qhuinn. Well, someone used the show Alles Was Zählt. And, being the curious person I was, I went to YouTube and found the kisses between Deniz and Roman (the video maker used them to portray Blay and Qhuinn). Not purposely found but accidentally. Obviously, I watched it. Then, I had to watch the episodes. Well, some scenes from almost every episode. I started with the episode around 250 because that was when Deniz showed up. I have been watching scenes between the both of them. But of course there were some things (such as a death or a kidnapping) that caught my attention for a minute. But I would go back to my search on Deniz and Roman. Oh, and I kind of cheated by watching the "end" first. "End" is in quoutes because even though the show is not over, it is for me. It is because I saw Roman die of a brain tumor. And yes. I did cry. So, this is how I have been working my way through the series: watch videos on Blay and Qhuinn, watch the kisses between Deniz and Roman, watch Roman die, and go back to the "beginning" of the series to see how their relationship started.
Somewhere within the first few episodes, after Roman gave Deniz a kiss, Deniz kept saying that he was not gay. It made me automatically think of Ianto. I thought (just like Ianto explained to his sister) that maybe Deniz is straight, but it is Roman. "It's only him." Aaaand whenever I see Deniz and Roman kiss someone else, I automatically say, "Don't do it! Don't you dare!" Yes, I will continue to watch it all the way up to the "end." I want to see if (more like when since I do know they get back together) they get back together because they remember the times when they were together and you can see that they are jealous when they see each other with someone else.
So, what does being on 701 in three days mean to you? To me, it says, "She is really into finding out what is going on!"

Torchwood Christmas Videos
Written on September 17 or 18.
Once again the holidays are upon us, starting with Halloween next month. Followed by Thanksgiving and Christmas. And I want to talk about the Christmas holiday.
Last night, something brought me to remember Christmas was coming up, so I was like, "I am going to have to make a Christmas CD." As I was pulling music together, I remembered the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. And I found out that they are going to be in the Chicago area in December so I talked to mom about getting tickets. Eventually, I was able to order the tickets. I think that dad is going to have a heart attack or kill me when I give him the tickets. I am so excited to give him the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets as an early Christmas present and the Blue Man Group tickets at Christmas. I also can't wait to see mom's face when she gets her Paula Deen kitchen set.
So, anyway, as I was finding stuff on TSO, I was listening to Christmas music and "Santa, Bring My Soldier Home" by The Stunners was playing. Listening to it, I realized that it could be from Ianto's point of view because Jack is gone (between seasons one and two) and Jack is also a soldier. Okay, well, he claims to be. But that is besides the point!
I downloaded TSO's "The Christmas Attic" CD and I was going through the songs. When I got to the songs "The Music Box" and "The Snow Came Down," I realized that they could be Jack and Ianto's points of view. I went with "The Music Box" for Ianto because he gave everything for Jack and he loved him. And as the song feels, he still loves him, even though "their relationship did not work out."
When I listened to "The Snow Came Down," I also knew that it would be for Jack because he is alone, he lost Ianto because "their relationship did not work out," after all these years, he still loved him, and finally, after all those years, "they walked away together."
So, I have two songs (one happy and in love, the other sad) for Ianto and one song (sad with a happy ending) for Jack. I want to find a happy and in love song for Jack but I can't! So, I will have to ask dad.
So, what it comes down to is that, when I am on Christmas break, I am going to make four more videos for Jack and Ianto!

September 11, 2001: Ten Years Later
Ten years ago, the United States of America had the worst attack on its soil since Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Since then, the country has moved forward while many of her people continue to remember while few seem to have forgotten.
I remember that September 11, 2001 started out as every ordinary day starts out. I was in sixth grade and only twelve years old. I got up and got ready for school while the sun was shining and I was listening to U93 on the radio. I remember that the announcer said that a plane had crashed into a building. Well, with how young I was, and just like everybody else in the country, I thought that it was an accident. I thought that it was one of those single-engine planes (like a crop-duster) that had crashed into a single-story (or a two-story) building at least. I went to school with Sarah (who was ten at the time) and it was an ordinary day. School was in session; History, Math, Science, and all other courses were being completed; lunch was normal; and so was recess.
Getting home, I vaguely remember mom sitting down, dad must have been standing, and I believe I sat down on the edge of the couch or chair and just watched as one of the towers (probably Tower 1) come down. I think that we just sat there, and sat there, and sat there. When Bush came on that night, we all sat around the TV to watch him make his speech. I will never forget that day.
Friday, I watched Nightly News with Brian Williams. During it, there was a video about all of the states (at least the Continental U.S.) getting a piece of the Twin Towers. On Saturday, I watched the United Flight 93 Memorial. Today, I woke up to the last half of Miracle of Stairway B on the History Channel. I continued to watch the channel all day. The only time I didn't was when mom, dad, and I went to see them bring in our piece of the Towers (although the piece is being set in Elkhart). After that, we came home, and I turned on the TV to continue watching the History Channel until the very last episode.
While waiting to see the piece of a Tower, I told mom and dad that even though I am only twenty-two, I have been able to see history being made in my life. And I told them that I saw the attacks (though not personally) occur, heard that Osama bin Laden had been killed, and that a piece of a Tower was making its way past us. Dad said that I saw two leaders get killed and I was like, "Who?" He said bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. I was like, "Ohh." I had forgotten that Hussein was killed. I think that I will see more history regarding terrorism being made before I die.
9/11: Never Forget

Torchwood: Miracle Day - Episode 8
Once again no word count because a lot has been shocking this episode. Also, it's freaking Torchwood! How in the world can you keep it betwee 450 and 600 words?!
I finished watching the eighth episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day just a few minutes ago. Talk about some things that made me gasp in shock or in surprise. Also, there were a couple of things that made me start to get tears in my eyes. But first, I think that I am going to start with the things that made me gasp.
First, after that big (as in fat because I don't think it's nice to say fat) guy took Rex (the black guy) to another room, Rex was getting hit and the guy put a gun to Rex's head. I also gasped when the guy set off a bomb in the truck while two women were in there with him. So, they are all dead. Well, actually, they are Category Ones. I also gasped when Oswald Danes hit Jilly (the redheaded lady). I thought that one of them was going to become a Category One, not that I don't mind. But anyway! Jilly had an "intern" (who was actually a CIA agent following her and Danes). Well, let's start with The Family.
Back in the 1920s, when Jack was conscious after getting killed many times, he saw three men make a deal. One was tall, skinny, and black; the second was a big, short, white guy; the third was a tall, skinny, white guy. Well, in the present day, the guy that made an appearance in the fifth episode showed up again. He told Jilly that she was being followed by a CIA agent. Well, the "intern" was in the elevator waiting to go down. The guy took out a gun and shot the agent twice. He is part of The Family. He made a call and told the person on the other end that he had Jilly and that she joined them. Well, the person he was talking to happened to be a CIA agent who was talking to Esther (the blonde lady) about what was going on. So, the lady is part of The Family. Oh! And also, towards the beginning, when the guy was taking Rex to another room and Gwen was going after him and the black woman had a gun pointed at her, Jack kept on getting between Gwen and the gun. I gasped because, well, jack can die. You would think he wouldn't get in the way of a gun while he's mortal. And now the parts that made me get tears in my eyes.
Ianto was mentioned again! Except it was over Shag's, basically, death bed. Yeah. Talk about making me mad but I was still happy that Ianto was mentioned. This is how Jack's one-sided conversation went: "Did you see him? Did you see Ianto? You would've liked him. Or maybe not. You'd've been jealous." As soon as Jack said, "Did you see him?" I knew that Jack was only talking about one man. I knew immediately he was talking about Ianto. As soon as I heard Jack ask that question, I started getting tears in my eyes and I couldn't help but cry out during his conversation. And then, unfortunately, after the conversation about Ianto, Jack had to go and freaking give a quick kiss to Shag. As soon as I saw Jack start to bend over the guy, I was like, "Don't do it, Jack. Are you seriously going to kiss a guy after talking about Ianto?" But, jack just had to go and disobey my order and kiss the guy. I obviously turned away. I wanted to shake some sense into him.
Lastly... Jack was shot! He was getting away with the help of Rex and Esther (Gwen was forcibly put on a plane to go back to the United Kingdom) and he was shot. And obviously I gasped because I wasn't expecting him to get shot! I ended up with a bit of tears in my eyes bcause I kept thinking, "He can't die! He's going to die!" I thought I was seeing him die. And I will admit that part of me was like, "I hope he dies so that he can be with Ianto." And then when they would show Jack lying in the backseat of a truck while Esther is driving, you could see Jack slowly losing consciousness because, obviously, his eyes are slowly closing. When they would show Jack or Esther, part of me was expecting to see gasp himself back to full-life, the way he always does. And poor Esther is begging him to say something. She also says that she doesn't know what to do or where to go.

Torchwood: Miracle Day - Episode 7
No word count here because of the pain I have received in watching the latest episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day.
I finished watching episode 7 of Torchwood: Miracle Day several minutes ago, and for the past several minutes, I have been crying my eyes out. Because I've been thinking about the latest man that Jack slept with (even though it was in 1927).
When I was watching it, when I would see Jack die, I would thank God that Ianto isn't around to see it, let alone hear about it. One of the scenes that Jack dies a lot in (continuously shot and stabbed), I could barely listen. I had to turn my eyes away. I knew that Ianto would be in tears if he saw what Jack was going through. I couldn't put it on mute because I had to know when the people were done killing him over and over again that way I could know when to start paying attention fully.
When Jack and the man (Angelo), whom I am just going to call Shag because I don't think he deserves to be named because he is no Ianto, were talking about a woman they saw across the street and Jack was standing right behind Shag, I kept saying, "Don't do it, Jack. Don't you dare." Well, unfortunately, I didn't get my wish. I also thanked the Lord that Ianto wasn't around to see it. Heck, I'm glad that Ianto wasn't going to be around for another fifty-six years (birth year: 1983) so that he wouldn't have to witness the things that happened to and the things that Jack did. I had to turn away during that scene.
The reason I cried after watching it is because of the things that Jack did that Ianto didn't get or what Ianto had said.
First of all, what Ianto had said when he was still alive. Well, in the third episode of Miracle, that bartender guy told Jack that he liked his coat and that's the only reason Jack was with that guy. Because Ianto always talked about liking Jack's coat. Loving the coat. Even missing his coat. Ianto was the only one to talk about the coat. And that is why Jack was with that bartender. Because he reminded Jack of Ianto.
The second reason I cried, which I cried a ton over as compared to the reason from episode three, is because of Jack and Shag. I think that during the two months or however long Jack was with this guy, he opened up more to him than he's ever done to Ianto, someone he knew for three years. It upsets me that Jack opened up to this guy when he wasn't even asking and Jack was also, basically, confessing his love for him. But with Ianto... In the hour or however long it was before Ianto died, when Ianto was begging Jack to talk to him, Jack just got snippy about it. "I've got a daughter and a grandson who've been taken by Frobisher. I'm going to call him and make a deal. Is that all right with you?" Granted Ianto may have made everyone believe that he had a master tailor for a father rather than someone who probably pushed him to be perfect, but Ianto opened up to Jack. Heck, probably even after episode six of the first season, Ianto opened up to Jack about Lisa. It's sad that Jack didn't even tell Ianto if he loved him while Ianto confessed his love for him before he died. He didn't even tell him that he loved being with him and that he wants to stay with him forever. It's funny that with Shag, Jack's like, "I'm so in love with you. I'll die for you," after two seconds. But after three years with Ianto, Jack's like, "Ehhh, you're okay. You're good for a shag or two. Oh! And thanks for loving me but I'm not going to say that I love you." It upsets me that Jack didn't talk to Ianto about his past: The woman he married, where he lived, his family, work...
God, because of the mood I'm in, I'm listening to Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" because it would be Ianto's point of view. And I just started to bawl with the final "'Cause I can't make you love me-e-e if you do-o-on't."
Anyway, where was I? But yeah. It's upsetting that Jack will open up more to someone that he's known for, say, two months as compared to someone that he's known for three years.
And another thing to go along with that: During the time that Jack was with Shag that we saw, Jack was working alongside him, sleeping with him, opening up to him, and him basically telling Shag that he loved him. But whenever we saw Jack with Ianto, it was only work, kiss, and Naked Hide-and-Seek. Oh, and some sayings like, "If you're not busy later," or whatever. But no. You never saw Jack opening up to Ianto.
And another thing! After Jack was with Shag, Jack sat up and kissed him on the back a few times. It's sad that we didn't get to see that when Jack was with Ianto. It's sadder when I can get that simple, loving act out of a fan fic! It's sad that you see Jack be with someone else (even a few kisses given on the back) but you don't see that with Ianto. You see Jack laying in bed next to someone else but you never saw him lying next to Ianto. Okay! They wouldn't have to have given us any making-love scenes between the both of them but a simple lying-next-to-each-other-after-having-been-together-because-they-love-each-other scene and a simple kissing-on-the-back-when-one-is-sitting-a-little-ahead-of-the-other scene would have just been as romantic and/or beautiful as a making-love scene. Because it's Jack and Ianto! Even the most simplest acts between them are so romantic and beautiful! These acts are so powerful that you can feel the love they have for each other!
The mistakes I see that Jack has made, whether they be from the past before knowing Ianto or the present, are: shagging random people, telling people he loves them after only two months, and not opening up to someone that truly loved him.
It scares me that Ianto was exactly what Owen had called him: Jack's Part-Time Shag.
I finished watching episode 7 of Torchwood: Miracle Day several minutes ago, and for the past several minutes, I have been crying my eyes out. Because I've been thinking about the latest man that Jack slept with (even though it was in 1927).
When I was watching it, when I would see Jack die, I would thank God that Ianto isn't around to see it, let alone hear about it. One of the scenes that Jack dies a lot in (continuously shot and stabbed), I could barely listen. I had to turn my eyes away. I knew that Ianto would be in tears if he saw what Jack was going through. I couldn't put it on mute because I had to know when the people were done killing him over and over again that way I could know when to start paying attention fully.
When Jack and the man (Angelo), whom I am just going to call Shag because I don't think he deserves to be named because he is no Ianto, were talking about a woman they saw across the street and Jack was standing right behind Shag, I kept saying, "Don't do it, Jack. Don't you dare." Well, unfortunately, I didn't get my wish. I also thanked the Lord that Ianto wasn't around to see it. Heck, I'm glad that Ianto wasn't going to be around for another fifty-six years (birth year: 1983) so that he wouldn't have to witness the things that happened to and the things that Jack did. I had to turn away during that scene.
The reason I cried after watching it is because of the things that Jack did that Ianto didn't get or what Ianto had said.
First of all, what Ianto had said when he was still alive. Well, in the third episode of Miracle, that bartender guy told Jack that he liked his coat and that's the only reason Jack was with that guy. Because Ianto always talked about liking Jack's coat. Loving the coat. Even missing his coat. Ianto was the only one to talk about the coat. And that is why Jack was with that bartender. Because he reminded Jack of Ianto.
The second reason I cried, which I cried a ton over as compared to the reason from episode three, is because of Jack and Shag. I think that during the two months or however long Jack was with this guy, he opened up more to him than he's ever done to Ianto, someone he knew for three years. It upsets me that Jack opened up to this guy when he wasn't even asking and Jack was also, basically, confessing his love for him. But with Ianto... In the hour or however long it was before Ianto died, when Ianto was begging Jack to talk to him, Jack just got snippy about it. "I've got a daughter and a grandson who've been taken by Frobisher. I'm going to call him and make a deal. Is that all right with you?" Granted Ianto may have made everyone believe that he had a master tailor for a father rather than someone who probably pushed him to be perfect, but Ianto opened up to Jack. Heck, probably even after episode six of the first season, Ianto opened up to Jack about Lisa. It's sad that Jack didn't even tell Ianto if he loved him while Ianto confessed his love for him before he died. He didn't even tell him that he loved being with him and that he wants to stay with him forever. It's funny that with Shag, Jack's like, "I'm so in love with you. I'll die for you," after two seconds. But after three years with Ianto, Jack's like, "Ehhh, you're okay. You're good for a shag or two. Oh! And thanks for loving me but I'm not going to say that I love you." It upsets me that Jack didn't talk to Ianto about his past: The woman he married, where he lived, his family, work...
God, because of the mood I'm in, I'm listening to Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" because it would be Ianto's point of view. And I just started to bawl with the final "'Cause I can't make you love me-e-e if you do-o-on't."
Anyway, where was I? But yeah. It's upsetting that Jack will open up more to someone that he's known for, say, two months as compared to someone that he's known for three years.
And another thing to go along with that: During the time that Jack was with Shag that we saw, Jack was working alongside him, sleeping with him, opening up to him, and him basically telling Shag that he loved him. But whenever we saw Jack with Ianto, it was only work, kiss, and Naked Hide-and-Seek. Oh, and some sayings like, "If you're not busy later," or whatever. But no. You never saw Jack opening up to Ianto.
And another thing! After Jack was with Shag, Jack sat up and kissed him on the back a few times. It's sad that we didn't get to see that when Jack was with Ianto. It's sadder when I can get that simple, loving act out of a fan fic! It's sad that you see Jack be with someone else (even a few kisses given on the back) but you don't see that with Ianto. You see Jack laying in bed next to someone else but you never saw him lying next to Ianto. Okay! They wouldn't have to have given us any making-love scenes between the both of them but a simple lying-next-to-each-other-after-having-been-together-because-they-love-each-other scene and a simple kissing-on-the-back-when-one-is-sitting-a-little-ahead-of-the-other scene would have just been as romantic and/or beautiful as a making-love scene.

Latest on Torchwood; Jack & Ianto
A couple of weeks ago, I read the post that the band Gareth David-Lloyd is in and they said something about him coming to the U.S. for a conference that is like Comic Con. Except it is not Comic Con. It is just one that is like Comic Con. Anyway! That threw the idea of Gareth returning to Torchwood out the window.
I've been keeping up with Torchwood: Miracle Day. I will say that it is interesting but it's not like all of the previous seasons of Torchwood. And I'll admit that it's because Ianto isn't there. It's interesting in its own way. But Torchwood is supposed to be dealing with aliens. Not a miracle. Let alone things that do not have to deal with aliens. I'll also admit that Miracle keeps you on the edge of your seat. For me, I am not on the edge of my seat. I think that I'm half-on and half-off. Not fully one way. Not fully the other. The latest thing that scared me is what happened to Gwen when she returned to Los Angeles.
Gwen got a mysterious call at the airport and was told to put in the contact lenses. When she did, whoever was typing said, "We have your mother. We have your husband. We have your daughter." Then Gwen said something like, "What do you want?" The person said, "Bring us Jack." As soon as I saw Jack's name, I couldn't help gasping from shock. Heck, it scared the crap out of Gwen because she backed up against a bathroom stall from the sink.
Also, Ianto hasn't been mentioned since that disastrous third episode. I will admit that episode five, I think, had me thinking about Ianto. When the black guy, who is currently working alongside Torchwood, was being loaded up into an ambulance, Jack said to the two people that he loves him and something about him being his boyfriend. As soon as I heard that, I was in shock. I was like, "Thank the good Lord that Ianto is not here to hear that." I also thought something like, "What? Couldn't Jack have just told them that he was a friend?"
For the past several days, I have been working on more videos. Actually, yesterday I finished a sixth one. On the eleventh, I started making the videos. Unless you want to include gathering songs and lyrics, then I guess I actually started on the tenth. The first one I made was from Jack's point of view. The song was "Somewhere" by Within Temptation. The second video I made was from Ianto's view with "Is This Love" by Whitesnake. The third, Jack's view, was "Nights are Forever (Without You)" by England Dan and John Ford Coley. The fourth, Ianto's view, was "The One I Love" by Oz. The fifth, Jack's view, was "I'd Come for You" by Nickelback. The sixth and final video (so far) was from Ianto's view and had "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt. Which reminds me...
I've decided that I'll stop second-guessing Jack's intentions with Ianto and just believe that Jack truly loved Ianto. Even if Russell T. Davies had not and is not intending for Jack to love Ianto. And I'm also going to believe that Jack didn't sleep with that bartender guy in the third episode of Miracle. So, I guess what I'm thinking is that I'm going to believe that the radio play, "The House of the Dead," is the end of Torchwood thus there not being any Torchwood: Miracle Day.
LONG LIVE JANTO!

Summer 2011 Update
There will be, once again, no word count on here because I have not been updating like usual so there are a few things to get in.
First of all: Relay. I was up the entire time. I did not get any sleep. It might be because I was not lying down in the back of the Jeep like usual. Rather, I was in the passenger seat with it reclined.
Second: The Harry Potter books. I started reading the books on either June 14th or 15th. I read the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, in a whopping ten hours. I read the second one, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, in either eleven or twelve hours. I read the entire series within a month. Possibly three weeks. The only book that took the longest was the fourth one, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. But that is because I was trying to read it on the weekend of Relay and I kept on falling asleep like there was no tomorrow while I was trying to read it here in my room. It is not that the book was boring! Do not get me wrong! I love the book! It is just that Relay wiped the floor with me.
Third: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Let us just say: Tissues! I do not know how many times I cried during that movie. There was only one part where I was bawling like crazy and that was when Snape was with Voldemort. I knew that Snape was going to be killed so I started crying immediately. And when Nagini started slamming into Snape, I had to look away. I liked his memories, but I just think that they were a bit rushed but definitely slower than his memories in the fifth movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. And Snape leads me to the final point.
For about several days before the movie was to come out in theaters, I have been having Snape/Lily moments. All of those days leading up to when I could actually go see the final movie was filled with looking for pictures of Snape and Lily, watching videos of them, and just plain thinking about them. It was even filled with listening to three songs like crazy: "Lily's Theme," "Snape's Demise," and "Severus and Lily."
Snape's memories: Like I said, they seemed kind of a bit rushed but not as rushed as those in the fifth movie. They were, if I recall, overlapping one another rather than having only ten seconds a scene. When Snape met Lily, absolutely no talking, even when they were laying next to each other under a tree. When Lily was sorted into Gryffindor, you see her shake hands with a boy who said his name was James and she said that hers was Lily. And when James and Sirius were running through the halls and knocked the books out of Lily's hands, James and Lily looked at each other like, "Yeah. I am so gonna marry him/her when I grow up." Um. Hello! That is not how it went! She is supposed to hate James until their seventh year! Do not make it seem like they have a connection as soon as they start! And I just felt so terrible for Snape throughout the whole thing.
And when Snape appeared in Godric's Hollow and found Lily dead on the floor in Harry's nursery, that was emotional. I did not really cry during that scene because, well, I was spoiled. People who went to see the final movie on Friday and Saturday were making short videos using Snape's memories from the final movie. The very first video I watched with Snape finding Lily dead and him crying just had me bawling. That was on Friday. I am quite amazed that Dad did not ask what was going on. I do not think I could have hidden it from him that I was getting spoilers from the movie before I had even seen it. And I could not stop downloading the good ones because I was afraid that they would disappear before I could even get online on Sunday after seeing the movie. And I have still been downloading videos of Snape and Lily, just a short nine days later.
And about Snape and Lily, I have had a couple of ideas for music videos. But they include Snape's memories from the final movie. So, I have to wait until the movie comes out on DVD before I can make a video about the both of them. The two songs that I want to use are: "My Love Is Always There" from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 soundtrack. I only just listened to the song yesterday and I had the idea that the song can be about the both of them after having died. The other song is "With Eyes Wide Shut" by blessthefall.
Lastly, Torchwood. This past weekend, I have been watching Torchwood: Miracle Day. Miracle is when absolutely nobody on the planet dies. In the first episode, Jack ended up getting hurt. And it did not heal. At the end of it, Rhys wondered if the roles were reversed. Everyone was mortal while Jack was the only one who was immortal. Now, everyone is immortal and Jack is the only one who is mortal. Which brings me to the second episode.
In that episode, Jack was poisoned and was dying. I was feeling two different emotions while he was dying. The first emotion was sadness that Ianto was not there to be with Jack. The other emotion was kind of happiness. It was that Ianto was not there to see Jack go through what he was going through. If Ianto was there, he would have been probably in tears. And then the third episode.
I hated it because Jack slept with some bartender guy. When the guy was sleeping, Jack called Gwen and talked to her. Ianto was brought up but I do not remember what was said. If I recall, I think that Jack said that he misses Ianto. I personally hope that Jack is feeling upset over losing Ianto. The roles of them are now the same. When Jack was immortal, Ianto was mortal and dying, in Jack's arms! Now, Jack is mortal and is dying. Unfortunately, I can't say that Ianto is immortal because, unfortunately, he died. But yeah. I hope that Jack is feeling upset over Ianto dying.
Apparently there are going to be some memories from Jack and Gwen's past in one of the future episodes. I think episode nine. And then someone on a website either posted a link or a post of a post that the band Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto) is a part of posted about having to cancel a two-week concert because Gareth was in America (which is where Miracle is being filmed). So, there is a possibility that Ianto is coming back, although in memories. And I am hoping that if the memories do contain Ianto, the editors are not taking clips from previous episodes and adding them into the new episodes or having them redo scenes. I hope that they come up with whole new, different scenes. I can't wait to see if Ianto is mentioned again. I also hope that it is true that Gareth was in America. Especially if there was the possibility that he was filming scenes for Miracle.
Also, there is another Torchwood radio play. The latest of the plays is called Torchwood: The Lost Files. One of them is called, "The House of the Dead." This one has Ianto and Jack as main characters. Ianto is in the bar where a seance is going on. He gets in contact with "Gwen" who says that "she" is on "her" way. Eventually Jack shows up. Both of them go through the entire show, figuring out what is going on. Towards the end, Ianto's dad appears and tells Jack that he can leave now with "him" (Ianto). When his dad disappears, he asks Jack what his dad was talking about. Come to find out, Ianto is dead. No, I mean, Ianto's spirit is walking around the place. Jack talks to Ianto and ends up saying the wrong words. Something to the extent of: "I can't even bear to look at you." I was like, "Excuse me?! You're going to say that to him?!" When Jack tried to touch Ianto, Ianto said something to the extent of, "Don't touch me!" And then, before the Rift closes with Ianto holding some kind of technology from Jack (Ianto had the opportunity to go back to the real world but he decided in the end not to), Jack says to Ianto, "I love you." Ianto says, "I love you, too." HALLELUJAH!! Jack finally told Ianto how he feels!! And then, when the Rift closes and Jack was left on his own, he said, "Good-bye, Ianto." The End. I hated that Ianto did not leave with Jack and he definitely died. But, I am glad that Jack at least told Ianto how he felt.
And now, I am working on another two videos on Jack and Ianto. This time, it is coming from Ianto's point of view rather than Jack's point of view. Which reminds me, I finished those two videos about Jack and Ianto using Jack's point of view a couple of months ago. Anyway! I am using the song "Pieces" by Red and "What About Us" by John Barrowman. I have clips for "Pieces" ready. I just have to add them, edit them, and save the video to my computer before work on "Us."
First of all: Relay. I was up the entire time. I did not get any sleep. It might be because I was not lying down in the back of the Jeep like usual. Rather, I was in the passenger seat with it reclined.

A Weird Dream Once Again
There is no word count on here because I don't think that dreams should be expected to be written between 450 and 600 words.
Once again, I had a weird dream. And yes, it involved Chris. Hopefully I can remember as much as possible because I am writing this about half-an-hour after I woke up, and I also had to clean up the mess that Indie made along with Mom's torn-up-by-Indie carnations. So, here I go...
Either I woke up on my own and went out to the front room or Sarah woke me up but either way, she told me something about it being my day or something. Anyway, I went out to the front room and Chris had just taken off his shoes. Sarah went and brought out a dress,which ended up being for me. The dress was my wedding dress! It was mostly white. It was kind of layered but then it kind of wasn't. The "layer" around the waist was yellow while the bottom of the dress was, I think, red. A photo was taken by the main frame of my shock.
I end up going to where a wedding would be taking place. It was at West Side Park but the room was definitely different. The room was definitely smaller and to get to it, you had to walk up a few stairs. Anyway, I walk up the stairs and I see this room filled with purple wedding decorations, Dad bending over, working on something, another guy working on something, and Chris looking at me while he was standing by a table. After seeing that this was all for me, I gasped with the need for air, and I started to cry. Chris walked over and hugged me.
Everything had been done in secret. From the wedding dress to the reception hall to the decorations and probably even further down to the First Dance. But yeah, I was shocked by everything.
Mom and Sarah walked into the room and one of them handed me my dress and told me to go get ready. When I came out from changing, it was filling up with people. I even saw an Amish couple. And now that I think about it, it might be because of where Chris works. But anyway!
Mom handed me money and said something to the extent of: "This is for when you go swimming." She then handed me a room key and said, "This is in case you get angry," or something like that. Or it just might have been the room key and not to any "in cases." I then told Mom and Sarah that I didn't have any shoes (appropriate shoes because I might have been wearing sneakers or something) and for someone to go home, go into my orange backpack, and grab my flats. But now, I realize that black shoes and white dresses simply don't go together. So, I would like to think that they simply forgot about handing me my new white dress shoes and they were simply in a corner of the room or still out in the vehicle. But anyway, when Mom left to go get the shoes, I began pacing up and down one side of a table while guests were still filing in. Dad was on the other side, also pacing. Dad told me something to the extent of: "I had my day, now this is your day." And then I went back to pacing.
The End
I know, I know. Not much of a dream. I told myself that if I am having more and more dreams about Chris because the "10th year anniversary" is coming up, I will kill myself. I don't think I could imagine me happily agreeing to marry him, let alone anyone. If I agreed to marry someone, I think it would just be the fact that I would share, not just a bed, but a house with that person. But, yeah. That's how my dream went.
Once again, I had a weird dream. And yes, it involved Chris. Hopefully I can remember as much as possible because I am writing this about half-an-hour after I woke up, and I also had to clean up the mess that Indie made along with Mom's torn-up-by-Indie carnations. So, here I go...
Either I woke up on my own and went out to the front room or Sarah woke me up but either way, she told me something about it being my day or something. Anyway, I went out to the front room and Chris had just taken off his shoes. Sarah went and brought out a dress,which ended up being for me. The dress was my wedding dress! It was mostly white. It was kind of layered but then it kind of wasn't. The "layer" around the waist was yellow while the bottom of the dress was, I think, red. A photo was taken by the main frame of my shock.
I end up going to where a wedding would be taking place. It was at West Side Park but the room was definitely different. The room was definitely smaller and to get to it, you had to walk up a few stairs. Anyway, I walk up the stairs and I see this room filled with purple wedding decorations, Dad bending over, working on something, another guy working on something, and Chris looking at me while he was standing by a table. After seeing that this was all for me, I gasped with the need for air, and I started to cry. Chris walked over and hugged me.
Everything had been done in secret. From the wedding dress to the reception hall to the decorations and probably even further down to the First Dance. But yeah, I was shocked by everything.
Mom and Sarah walked into the room and one of them handed me my dress and told me to go get ready. When I came out from changing, it was filling up with people. I even saw an Amish couple. And now that I think about it, it might be because of where Chris works. But anyway!
Mom handed me money and said something to the extent of: "This is for when you go swimming." She then handed me a room key and said, "This is in case you get angry," or something like that. Or it just might have been the room key and not to any "in cases." I then told Mom and Sarah that I didn't have any shoes (appropriate shoes because I might have been wearing sneakers or something) and for someone to go home, go into my orange backpack, and grab my flats.

Another Crazy Dream
This was written on June 13, 2011, at 11:13 AM. This also does not have a word count since this was also written as a diary entry.
So, I just woke up from the craziest and/or strangest dream. I can't recall all of the details of it, and I blame the dream on the test I took yesterday (in which it asked about dreaming and I answered that I usually have dreamless sleep) and having had to work at Char's reception this past Friday.
In my dream, the four of us were home and Chris and his girlfriend were over to chat with us. I was sitting on the desk chair, the both of them were sitting on the couch (his girlfriend was sitting closest to me), Dad was in the bathroom doing something, Sarah was in her bedroom doing something, and Mom might have been sitting in the rocking chair. Anyway!
His girlfriend and I start talking about their relationship. She says something and I ask that if the relationship is serious enough that it must be coming to a proposal soon. She ends up with a grin on her face (I don't recall the look on Chris's face). I ask either how long they've been in a relationship or how long she's known him (I don't remember which). I think she said since 1999 to which I think Chris replied with something like, "In your dreams."
Within a couple of minutes, she says something that starts to anger me. She says something to me and adds "Mother F'ing B" to the end of it. That does it. I am off of my chair in a split second and I attack her. I start slapping her with both sides of my hands. I hit her so hard that my slaps would rival that of punches. Eventually, we land on the floor because she's struggling to get away from me and I won't let her. Everyone comes out to see what is going on and they just stand there in shock.
Eventually it stops. I let Peyton out still angry. I come back in and I hear someone say that she needs to go to the hospital. She is quickly taken outside (I think by Chris). I just stand in front of the desk chair with every one's eyes on me. Someone (possibly Chris) says that his girlfriend has a black eye. Chris makes his round of hugs and comes to me last. I don't remember what he said to me but I do remember that when he was hugging me, I wasn't hugging him back. I looked at Mom and I could see that she was trying to hold back laughter from what she had seen me do to his girlfriend. I collapse against Chris because I just want to fall onto my knees over the shock of what I had done. Chris hangs onto me and slowly lowers me onto my knees with him. My face is against the front of his shoulder, breathing in and out, wanting to cry, body shaking in shock.
And then? It's over. I wake up. I could not believe what I had done in the dream. I am still in a little shock. So, apparently, do not mess with me.

Char's Wedding
Written June 11, 2011, 1:06 AM. This does not have a word count because this was to be a diary entry but then I decided to just put it on my blog because that might be faster.
So, Pa and I finished Char's wedding a few hours ago. It was quite...different. We mostly played love songs from my computer as background music. But, before I can talk about the dance, I must start at the beginning.
At one point when the guests were arriving, Dad, Chris, and his girlfriend were talking in front of the booth. I saw him holding hands with her and I just wanted to cry. I was starting to get tears in my eyes. I wanted to go out to the Jeep and start crying my eyes out.
During Char and Leon's dance, Chris was standing behind the booth. Well, I wanted a clear visual of Char and Leon so I ended up standing next to Chris. And I ended up mouthing the lyrics because one of my favorite songs (if not the favorite) was being played as a first dance.
When we started playing the slow songs, I watched as Chris asked his girlfriend to dance and they danced. I think that, throughout the night, I constantly wondered if he was going to ask me for a dance. Eventually, he asked me for a dance.
When he asked if I wanted to dance, I told him that it was up to him. He told me something to the extent of, "Come on." When we moved towards each other, I didn't know where to place my hands. Do I wrap my arms around his neck? Do I place my hands on his shoulders? Do I place my left hand in his right and have my right hand on his shoulder? Eventually, it got to be my left hand on his shoulder and my right in his left. If I recall, we danced to "Don't Know Much" by Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt. But I may be mistaken. Towards the beginning of the dance, I happened to glance over to where Annette was sitting and Uncle David and Dad were standing. Both men had cameras! And Sam had a video camera (at least I think it was a video camera) and was capturing me and Chris on film! I think I was so embarrassed. Chris and I talked about it being my senior year in college. We also talked about my major and minor. He even mentioned that we were wearing the same colors of clothing: red shirts, black pants, and black shoes. And then... It was over.
During the rest of the night and Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight," I continuously wanted Chris to ask me to dance. Unfortunately, it did not happen.
I remember that, at a couple of points, Chris came to me for rescuing from Sam and Abby. Dad, Chris, and I were standing behind the booth. Abby came up and was trying to talk to Chris. I leaned down and told her that she needed to go by Annette because there were too many people behind the booth. She turned around and left. Chris thanked me and told me that the bigger one was worse. I also remember that, when I was behind the booth working on music, Chris came up to me and laid his head on my shoulder and proceeded to pretend to be snoring. I think that I said something to the extent of, "You better not be tired," or something like that.

Torchwood
I do not remember why I started watching Torchwood. All I do remember is that I started to watch it last weekend; and I have been watching and downloading music videos on Jack and Ianto, downloaded and watched all of the episodes, and have been coming up with ideas for videos.
To start, Torchwood is a spin-off of Doctor Who with Captain Jack Harkness as the main character. Ianto is an employee. He starts off as, basically, only a coffee boy. When Jack is gone for a year, Ianto starts going on all missions with Gwen, Toshiko, and Owen. It took me ten or so minutes to get the timeline between Jack playing in Doctor Who and Torchwood straight.
Here's the timeline: You meet Jack in Doctor Who. After the first season with the ninth doctor, Jack takes his place in Torchwood. At the end of the first season of Torchwood, Jack disappears (you hear the TARDIS so you figure Jack is with Doctor). Jack is back in Doctor Who for a few episodes with the Master which, for their time, would be a year. At the end, Jack leaves. At the beginning of the second season of Torchwood, Jack reappears. Between the second and third season of Torchwood, Jack, Ianto, and Gwen play a part in the last two episodes of the fourth season of Doctor Who. Then we have the third season (which consists of only five episodes) of Torchwood. At the end of the fifth episode, Jack leaves Earth to travel so that he can try to forget things. In the last episode with the tenth doctor, you see Jack at a bar. I read that Jack will be back for the fourth season of Torchwood, which takes place sometime later.
Anyway... Jack and Ianto began a relationship in Torchwood. Unfortunately, Ianto dies in the fourth episode of the third season. Because of everything that Jack went through in those last episodes of the season, he leaves. Their relationship was beautiful (in my opinion) but Jack's intentions were (and still are) questionable. I mean, does Jack actually love Ianto or was Ianto only, according to Owen, Jack's "part-time shag?" An example of the thing that keeps me worried about the relationship between Jack and Ianto is that at Gwen's wedding reception, she continues to dance with Jack several seconds after Ianto clears his throat and asks to cut in so that he could dance with Jack. Even within the first several seconds when both men dance, Jack looks back at Gwen.
For a couple of the videos, I have how I want to start the videos and who they are going to be about. One of the videos I came up with made me cry when I watched the clip before I listened to the song. The clip I came up with was when Ianto was dying and asked Jack if he would remember him, even in a thousand years to which Jack replied that he would and that he promised. After that scene, I have "Please Remember Me" by John Barrowman (Jack). I read comments to the song on YouTube. Some of the people were saying that it would be Jack remembering Ianto and others saying that that song is definitely their song.
The other video I have planned is when Gwen tells Rhys (although I will try to make it so that she is telling Jack) that Ianto died. The song I have is "My December" by Linkin Park. The song is to be what Jack is like after having lost Ianto.

Osama bin Laden Dead!!
It has been almost ten years since September 11, 2001, where approximately 3,000 people were killed at the Twin Towers in New York City, at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
This was started by hijackers hijacking four airplanes under the command of Osama bin Laden. Throughout these ten years, bin Laden has been sending videos, basically mocking the United States and telling us that he commanded the attack against us. He has also been in Pakistan these past several years.
President George Bush said that we should do everything to stop terrorist groups and take down bin Laden. He should be getting the credit. Not Barack Obama because he has only received the war. He has not even served in the military before. The credit should most definitely go to our military. And even Bush for sending troops to the Middle East. Obama should only get credit for giving our troops the go-ahead for the finding of bin Laden.
Richard Engel, a correspondent for NBC, said that bin Laden was the "symbol for war against the United States."
Brian Williams, anchor for Nightly News on NBC, said that New York City is under security for the next few days because of bin Laden's murder. He also said that it will be hard for people to enter or leave the city during the present time. Williams said that it has been 9 years, 7 months, and 20 days since the attack on 9/11.
Jim Miklaszewski, a correspondent for NBC at the Pentagon, said that the threat level has been raised due to current news.
In Obama's speech, he began with telling the United States and the world that Osama bin Laden is dead. He went on to start with 9/11, reminding us of how it was a clear day. And then the attacks occurred. He said that, in light of the attacks, the people came together. "[W]e were united as one American family." Obama said that bin Laden was committed to killing innocents in the U.S. and around the world. He said that, in our Fight Against Terror, we have killed several of the men that had helped in the plot against the U.S. He said that in the gunfight against the U.S. and bin Laden, no Americans were harmed, nor any civilians.
Obama continued with saying that Bush said that the war was not against Islam but again bin Laden, a mass murderer. Obama said that we "did not choose this fight. It came to our shores..." He also said that we know what the cost of war is. He went on to say, "[W]e will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly ben when our people have been killed." Obama finished his speech by saying, "Justice has been done." And said: "[O]ne nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
After the speech, Williams gave numbers to the attack on 9/11. He said that there were 2,600 killed in New York City, 125 in the Pentagon, and 256 on four air crafts. He said that this attack "surpasses Pearl Harbor." He gave a quote that was said by a man who had lost his wife in one of the World Trade Centers. The man said that he was "glad this man's evil is off of this world forever."

Walt Disney & Tangled
A few weekends ago, I got to see the Walt Disney movie Tangled. It was so good that I watched it every single day for a week or two. If I recall, the first time I watched it, it made me laugh and cry. I laughed when Rapunzel hit Flynn with the frying pan and squealed. I also laughed when she threatened to hit him again with the pan. I cried when she believed he left her and took the crown. I smiled with love when the both of them sang their duet. I was so into the movie that I wanted my parents to also watch it. One day, dad and I watched the movie. I was scared that, because it was a Disney (and specifically a princess) movie he would not like it. Whenever he would laugh, I would smile because I knew he was enjoying the movie. I think that, for an early birthday present, I want mom to watch the movie with me (my birthday is on Monday and she has Saturday off). Currently, I am listening to Tangled while I am writing this. I know, probably annoying and most likely a lot of people would not watch the same movie over and over again. Mom had asked one of the employees at the Flower Department in Martin's if they would get any balloons from Tangled anytime. Mom wanted to get me a Tangled balloon for my birthday!
For some reason, I have been into the Disney Princesses. It might be because of Tangled. I asked mom and dad if, for my birthday, I could get the Disney Princess dolls set because Rapunzel was in the set. I said that if I could not have the set, I would like to start with two dolls: Rapunzel and Flynn. I also asked them if I can get two dolls a month so that I could have the entire set of princesses and their princes. So, I ended up getting Rapunzel and Flynn! I was practically jumping for joy when I received them. Now, I am only waiting to get the okay to order another two dolls. I figure I will get them in this order: Tiana and Naveen, Mulan and Shang, Pocahontas and John Smith, Jasmine and Aladdin, Belle and Adam (Beast), Ariel and Eric, Aurora and Phillip, Cinderella and Charming, and Snow White and Ferdinand. I figured if I get two a month, I will receive the last couple in December. Just in time for Christmas! I have been so into the princesses these past few weeks that I want to make a CD with the songs that the princesses sing or represents them. Also, I want to make a calendar that has the princesses and their princes. An example would be that January would have Snow White and Prince Ferdinand. I hope that I can make a CD, a calendar, and get all of the princesses. There is a video on YouTube that someone made, using all ten princesses. When I found the video, I watched it over and over again because I was so into the princesses. And I still love it!

Mid-Term Break
Sigh. Last Friday, I wanted to write that I was on mid-term break for the next week. But, I kept on forgetting about it. So, here I am, on the last day of break. So this is what I did: I had homework that I wanted to work on; I watched Tangled over and over again; my dad and I had to do some work for a wedding that we are doing in June... There was a lot of things that I did. Okay, well, for homework, I did do a few things but I mostly just relaxed without doing much this past week. Unfortunately, when I go back to school, I have to do homework. I have a test that I have to take on Wednesday and then next Monday, I have another test. These tests are mid-term exams. I just do not know why we did not take them before break that way we did not have to worry about taking tests when we returned. Well, I am just glad that I only have two months left in the school year and then a month for May term. So, in total, I have three months left for school.
So, for the wedding that my dad and I are doing in June: Chris Elliott's mother is getting married in June to Leon. Dad and I were at her house yesterday to go over music for the wedding. We heard that her pastor was having a problem with her marrying Leon and other stuff. Well, instead of having the wedding at her church which is only a few miles from the house, the wedding will most likely be at a church in Bremen. Right now, it is only sketchy. Now, the music! My aspect. So, for Char and Leon's first dance, they were going to have Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's It's Your Love. Dad went through the list of songs I have on my computer and had me play Bryan Adams and Barbra Streisand's I Finally Found Someone for Char. She called him over (after it was done) and had him listen to it. In the end, they chose I Finally Found Someone. Last night when I was in my room, I listened to It's Your Love because I wanted to know how it went. Well, I am glad that they chose Bryan and Barbra because Tim and Faith's "duet" was mostly him singing and her joining him for bits and pieces of the chorus. It mostly would have been coming from Leon's point-of-view. Now, Bryan and Barbra, when one sings their section, the other is singing a few lines, they sing the chorus together, and everything else that they do in the song. Also, with this song, it is an actual duet and it is coming from both points-of-view. I love the song, and I am glad that they chose it because, like I said, it is coming from both of their views.

Christmas 2010, New Year’s 2011
I write this on December 31, 2010. Finished at 11:43 PM.
Christmas this year was poor. I mean, not that it sucked, just that we all got at least one gift. Mom received a sweater (which was unfortunately not the correct size so she gave it to Sarah) and a book. Dad received two boxes of M&Ms, two boxes of another candy, and a wire for the speakers. Sarah got $100 and a Christmas bear. I also got $100 and the Christmas bear. Although we got the Christmas bears a few weeks before because I was so worried about not getting one. It is practically a tradition now that every year (although it has not been every year) we get a Christmas bear. This year, our bears were blue just because mom’s favorite color this holiday was blue. I did not like it because our other bears are red and green. Mom and dad broke the tradition on the color of the bears. I would not care if Sarah’s bear was blue and mine was red and green. Well, I am not going to complain because at least I got a bear.
Guess what I did with my $100! I bought a Kindle from Amazon. I bought the $189 one because I get a FREE Wi-Fi connection from Amazon. The technology in that one to receive a signal is the same as that which is used in a cell phone. I had a $50 bill from the October wedding dad and I did. I said that I would not use it because it was the first time I had ever possessed a $50 bill. Mom and dad owed me thirty dollars because I had let them use my money that I received for turning in my books and keys. So that gave me $180. Dad gave me a ten because I had asked them if they could cover the last nine dollars for my Kindle. So, I ordered it on Friday (Sarah and I had received the money early Friday) after I had put all of the money I had received in the bank before noon because that was when they closed. I received it on Tuesday because it was two-day shipping. So far, I have forty books on my Kindle! I am so happy! I am obviously looking to put a lot more on it!
Quite unbelievably, there were tornadoes in the U.S. today! I could not believe it! December 31st, and there are tornadoes in the United States! Heck, even Jasper County was under a Tornado Watch earlier this afternoon! There were no other watches in the Michiana area.
New Year’s Eve/Day was, I do not know, suck-y. Sarah went out; Mom was watching a channel for the New Year’s Eve/Day celebration. I think it is channel 57. I prefer to watch 16 because they show other countries celebrating as the hour approaches; Dad has most likely fallen asleep on the couch already; and I am sitting here, in my room, listening to music on my MP3, and writing this.
Well, I must go so that I can finish and start the year being bored with nothing to do.
