“You can have the bed, I’ll take the floor,” I say as I drop my backpack onto the elaborate tasseled rug in the spare room that Ana had directed us to.
“Are you sure?” Lloyd asks as he steps past me.
“Yep. Go ahead.” I grab a pillow off of the bed and an extra blanket that had been folded on a chair, then lay them down on the ground. “I’m so tired, I could probably sleep on a pile of legos if I had to.”
Lloyd lets out a small chuckle before he climbs into the bed, and then I slip under the covers of my makeshift one. After he reaches over and turns off

Chapter 13
Ten hours spent riding a train is a really long time. Especially when your only companion is off wandering the land of nod, and you don’t have anything else to do except sit here and look out the window. I won’t say that doing that on this trip is boring, exactly, because most of the scenery is actually pretty cool. All of the oak and maple trees with their bright summer leaves are being replaced by unbelievably tall evergreens, and the ground shifts from flat plains to rolling hills, and then finally to steep, snow-capped mountains. Although I can’t feel the temperature growing colder from inside the train,

“Lloyd, you’re insane. You may be smart, but you are also insane. I am not going to help you blow up that boulder with a rocket. We’re in enough trouble already. How bout we just take a bus instead?” I blurt out random statements and suggestions to try and drag Lloyd away from the crazy idea of blowing up the boulders to clear the train tracks. Nothing seems to be working.
“Okay, now I’m wondering who’s the real wimp. Me or you,” he says. “And we can’t take a bus, because that would mean that we would have to go back into town. The train station is farther north

Fanning my face with my pink felt hat, I gaze out of the smudgy train window. It had been a long and hot two weeks away at church camp, and we’ve been traveling all day. I try to imagine that the weak breeze being blown across my face by my hat is the chilly winter gusts of Snowman--ones that I won’t feel for another ten hours.
Placing my hat back on my head, I shut my eyes and picture myself arriving home at dusk, strolling through peaceful fields blanketed with snow as cotton-like flakes swirl gently around me. The steeple and stained glass windows of the little church would be lit up angelically, as wou

Favorite video game genre: RPG Favorite video game/series: MOTHER FTW!!! Favorite game out of this series: ...oh...umm...Earthbo--?...no...Moth--...GAAAAHHH!! Favorite Mother character: This is pretty hard too, but I'll have to say the Masked Man/Claus. If I could have any super power, it would be: a tie between the ability to fly, and shape shifting (except not the creepy and painful way that it's always shown on TV.) Someday, I want to: see Mother 1 and Mother 3 get released in the U.S. . . . Well, that, and I want to go skydiving. My theme song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9… Ahaha! Just kidding! It's: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cnQCk…
**Just a note: I may not reply to all comments if I get a lot of them or if I'm just too busy at the moment. But I want to let everyone know that I read each and every one and appreciate them! :D

Well, yeah, back to school. But hey, I actually worked on some things! So I don't think it will be long until I submit something again. Well, I think this is the shortest journal I've ever written, but it needed updated, because holidays are pretty much over, haha ^^
I'll be back soon!
Ah. . . One more day and then winter break! Finally! Maybe I'll actually be able to do some stuff like write and draw and totally not study for finals!
Anyway, I just wanted to wish everyone a merry upcoming Christmas, Kwanzaa, or whatever else anyone celebrates :D
I hope to be back on here soon. Time, time, time! That's all I need! ;)
Yeah. . . . . . . . Um, it's been a while since I've really done anything on here besides comment and stuff, but I just want to clarify that I most certainly HAVE NOT forgotten about you guys, nor have I given up on writing. I'm still working on the novelization. . . but I just don't have enough time to make it a top priority right now. Only two months into this school year, and this is honestly how I feel about it right now:
But oh well. Life is life, and sometimes it sucks. What can you do? :shrug:
So, I haven't abandoned you guys. Just bear with me until I re-acquire my no life status, 'kay?
Hey! I'm actually doing pretty good, and this week has been great so far with hardly any homework or anything. So i've just been chillin' and enjoying it while it lasts, haha! How have you been, and how's the movie going?
