Christians that scare me

So I was reading an article in the Rolling Stone about this group of people called BattleCry. BattleCry is basically a right-wing Christian organization that wants to save teenagers such as myself from the evils of homosexuality, other cultures and stuff like that. I remembered coming to the library last week, looking through it and thinking this would be an interesting thing to look at in The Last Dance Revolution. The idea of making a Christian terrorist organization sounded like something I should do, and the idea of making BattleCry that christian organization sounded like a good idea.
This was before I even read the article. After I did read it, I believe that I may be all to likely.
BattleCry has a lot of violent imagery. The guy who runs it, Ron Luce, has a thing were they have a statue of a woman which they tear up. This is based on a biblical story where a guy tore up a concubine and sent the bits to the various tribes of Israel because he wanted to show them what would happen if they were ungodly. Scary enough, but Luce is saying that this is real. He believes that he is actually fighting a war. The sad thing is, is that he is using the same methods to destroy what he sees as evil as they are using, marketing schemes to get teenagers. It's freaking me out. Here's a link, I can't look at it right now because I'm at the library but the moment I get home I'm taking a look at it.
Ron Luce, if your reading this, you arn't getting me. I've read the article and I can tell you that I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot poll. I believe that you and your beliefs are wrong.

May mean nothing but...

I was walking to co-op today when I realized something. As many of you may know, there is a chance that the world will end around late December 2012. I was thinking about this when I realized that by that time I would be, alright, 23! Which as many of you should know is a really important number that appears in all kinds of really freaky places, for instance

• Psalm 23 is the most known part of the bible
• The Prophet Muhammad is said to have gotten the Qu'ran over a period of 23 years
• The human has 23 sex chromosones
• if you square 2 by 3 then you get 0.666, or something like that

So naturally, this freaks me out. I just thought I'd tell you guys this and hope that someone can explain what this means to me.

Youtube Videos

I found this on an Aspergers Forum I joined. It's funny and insightful to norms. I hope that this comes out on my blog. Insidently, this has happened to me.



And after I saw that I remembered this thing I saw. It's a trailer for a Dark Tower movie using clips from other movies. For you film fans out there, name all the movies used in the making of this trailer.

Back from the Desert

So, right now I am (supposed) to be working on my feature article that is due real soon. I've got around three pages done so far, I need at least 20. I'm thinking that I should call my mom in to give me a hand on it. It's driving me crazy, apparently because I need to get more work done on it. I could easily have done this a month ago if this was worth anything, but it's not. I don't care about this project. I just look at it and think, I don't really care about this project. When I look at the short story I have to write I think, this is worth something, but I look at this feature article and think, this is just me vomitting. I don't care about this in any way. There is nothing deep and moving about it for me. It's a glorified information piece is what it is. I feel like this is a complete and utter waste of my talents. Thinking about it makes me sick.

Okay, I got that rant out of the way. So, know for the interesting story. You guys have to here this...

WRITER'S FUNNY STORY THAT REALLY HAPPENED!

Okay, It's 2 in the morning and I'm sleeping in bed, all very peaceful like. I'm beginning to feel something on me. I figure it's the fan, because I always sleep with a fan on, but then I realize it's furry when it brushes up agains my face. So I instantly wake up and it's my little sister's hamster, that has gotten out of it's cage in the attic and has crawled into my room and into my bed. Naturally I panic because I hate that hamster. I believe it's plotting against me and this incident only increases that belief. So I run out of my room and there's a big commotion. The hamster goes back in it's cage and I am now securing my door more.

There, I hope you enjoyed that. I wasn't when it was happening.
So, this blog has been long in the making. I've been working on it on and off for a few days now. At the moment I'm working the final touches at the library.
On the subject of my novel, I'm starting to wonder about the construction. Recently, I've been getting alot of ideas for scenes. For instance, I watched Resevoir Dogs last night and I had this picture of Helen with one of the guys who went Marquis De Sade on her during the early times of her life. For those of you who have seen the movie, yes it is a rip from the scene were Mr. Blonde cuts of the cops ear to "Stuck in the Middle with you." Helen however, having seane the movie opens it like this.
"Are you familiar with the works of Quentin Tarantino? Late Pre-Contact film maker, known for making very violent films. Didn't care much for the language, but the dialouge was pretty good once you got passed it. Well, apparently he would steal scenes from other movies and put them into his. I wouldn't know any of them mind you. You wouldn't mind if I put some tunes on would you?" Helen puts in some burned CD or something and "Stuck in the Middle with you," begins playing. She mimicks the little dance Mr. Blonde did, every once in awhile asking guy she's about to painfully torchure. "Guess what movie this is from?" She does this until she cuts his ear off, thens he says "Sorry, you are out of time. The answer was, Reservoir Dogs, starring Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madson, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi and Lawrence Tierney. Directed by Quentin Tarantino." I can just really imagine Helen doing something like this.
Okay, that's all I can think of. Just wanted to add that I am doing fine.

A Ukrainean Supermodel

Okay. I was looking through old blog posts when I came onto that thing about the alien that was eaten by Russian fishermen. I cliked on a few things and then I saw this....

Yes, those are actually her eyes. Her name is Masha Tylena and she's from the Ukraine. She has really big eyes. Here are some pictures.

Let the comments commence.

My Shelter

My EA said that I need to stop writing my novel and concentrate on my feature article in English. When I heard this I went into a great depression that effected me all threw my co-op. It tore me up alot that she told me to do this. I don't know why, maybe it's because she said it so harshly, I don't think she was aware of it.

Anyway, this really tore me up on the inside. I mean I was depressed. I felt like a complete wreck. I have been wondering why I was recently and I have come to this conclusion. I was so depressed because I don't want to stop writing the novel. I like the novel, I like Naos and Helen. They havn't let me down as much as society has. Society has been letting me down alot and I am starting to look at it as my enemy. I'm having alot of problems with society, which is mainly school. I've felt to many things come up right now and I'm worried about my future. I'm not sure I want to be a productive member of society. I'm not sure I want to pay taxes. I'm not sure I want to have all this homework. I'm starting to feel jipped.

The thing is I can't really complain because there is no one to complain too. Writing my novel allows me to go to a world where I am in charge and everything is alright. I feel more comfortable with Naos and Helen and all the rest of the things in my head. While external society can disapoint me, I know that I can always rely on my imagination.

I'm going to continue to write my novel anyway. I don't care, I can't stay in your world all the time.

What Do You Think of Your Friends?

Yes, I did my imaginary friends. I'll do you guys another time once I figure out more about you. Also, I think it's funny that it says Ar'Ehdo has an internet romance. His only romance has been an on and off thing with Rachel Dollen since the First Crusade.

You Would Do Most Things For Love

You are willing to go pretty far for love - but not far enough to compromise your core values. Love is a priority for you, and you'll go further than most people to hold on to someone you love. But killing for love? Or even taking a bullet? Probably out of the question. No matter what, you love yourself the most!

Would You Do Anything For Love?

You Communicate Like a Woman

You empathize, talk things out, and express your emotions freely. You're a good listener, and you're non-judgmental with your advice. Communication is how you connect with people. You're always up for a long talk, no matter how difficult the subject matter is.

You have a way with words... and a talent for drawing the pure emotions out of experiences. Your poetry has the potential to make people laugh and cry at the same time. You just need to write it!

What Sort of Artist Should You Be?

You Are an Okay Student

You know how to get by school, but your heart isn't always in it. Motivation is a problem for you. Maybe you need to study something more exciting!

Are You a Good Student?

You Are Fairly Skeptical

You're not the type of person who will fall for anything... But you do keep your mind open to all sorts of possibilities. You figure that anything could be true. After all, the world is a strange place. However, you're going to need some convincing before you can believe in aliens or reincarnation!

I made a new friend and then I wrote this

Good news, I met a new friend Thursday at my co-op at the Museum. As I don't know how she feels about having her name blabbed on my blog, she will have no other identity beyond that Chinese girl I met and became friends with at the co-op, or my new friend for short. We had a brief conversation about work and our lives and exchanged numbers and stuff like that. She has a face book account, which I have been hearing about a lot these days. We exchanged contact information and such. I don't know if we're actually friends yet, but it's nice to have the possibility of a friend, and this looks promising.
School is still frustrating. Things keep piling up, because I'm lazy and that's just how I am. Big mistake, I know, but I just don't care about a lot of things. I don't have the same drive as other people. Maybe it's because my priorities tend towards to my writing.
On the subject of writing, I have been working the idea for Mythania around in my head. Many of my long-time readers and friends would remember that Mythania is my personal Middle-Earth. Well, since I have been working on the Family 48 time line and the world of Naos and Helen, I have had little time to actually work on how Mythania works, even though I am fairly certain that it is more important then Family 48 or whatever I may come up with for Naos and Helen. Recently, I have been brain storming Mythania. One of the inspirations is the Forgotten Realms for Dungeons and Dragons. I want to write a big book about Mythania that's like my Forgotten Realms handbook, detailing all the natives, countries, gods and environments of Mythania. It would also have all the information that you'd get in other books, more detailed looks at the Gods, more detail on countries, stuff like that. For plot elements, I seem to be feeling I should do something like the Mahabharata. The Mahabharata is a major Indian epic that has enormous cultural import to India. Imagine if you combined the New Testament and Lord of the Rings into the same book and that would probably be the Western version of the Mahabharata. I haven't actually read the Mahabharata, but I have an idea of the story. I'm also working plot elements into a future novel, where two of the major characters talk about how the universe works right before the apocalypse. It's an allusion to the Bhagavard Gita, which Hindus consider a really important book. So, despite the fact I have yet to read this book, it is probably a big influence on my career. I really should find a copy at some point. I also plan on just using this as an inspiration for the plot.
I've also been thinking about using stuff about Naos and Helen in other works, while there still mortal and have the chance to make mistakes and be more interesting protagonists. The only thing is I'm not sure how to actually work that. I may write a sequel to The Last Dance Revolution, dealing with themes of Religious Extremism. The only problem is I'm not sure I want to write a sequel to the Last Dance Revolution any time soon. I may try writing one ten years from now, but I don't see it as something I really need to write. I'm also thinking I should do something about Naos and Helen in a world slightly different then there last one. I've been having this weird idea of Naos and Helen in something like Yellow Submarine. If I ever get into film making I may try that, but I think I'll just write it as a minor novel I can but into the Naos and Helen series. I've also thought of writing something were Naos and Helen are the antagonists, which I think would be interesting because I tend to caste them as Revolutionary Heroes or Gods. It would also be interesting to write something from the perspective of someone outside my own belief systems.
I'm wondering if Naos and Helen are becoming Mary Sue characters, If I'm caring way to much about them and leaving my other characters without as much detail. I've got at least Four novel ideas about them already, and they've worked there way into Family 48 and Mythania (though admittedly they do not take as much part in the Mythania Chronicles). I'm not sure if they are actually Mary Sue characters, since they don't meet all the criteria. For one thing they have flaws. Naos is an emotional hurricane with a few mental problems and can be a real jerk sometimes, again inspired by me. Helen while generally being more stable then Naos can be a real bitch sometimes. Also, I tend to drag them through a lot of stuff. In The Last Dance Revolution alone I drag them through hell and I'm going to do a lot more then that in Family 48. Still, they tend to come out on top, because I really like these characters. I want them to be happy and have a good life and have many fat children, but I do tend to beat up on them, at least in the stories I have planned for them. I've gotten this idea recently of Helen finding out about my existance and as I had just recently screwed her life up, she decides to try and kill me. I'm not sure how she's going to go about doing this, but I plan on working it into the end of the Saga of Family 48.

What happened to me on the day of March 22, 2007. This Title sucks I know, but I don't care.

I had to get a co-op report in today. I basically had to do a thing about how my current job as a museaum archivist could become a proper career. Mom helped me out and I got most of it done. I need to do an interview with my employer or an employee of the local museaum and finish some stuff up about colleges. Mostly the interview, and I have to get to work on a feature article I have to write for Writer's Craft.

The bad thing about this is that I have no time to write my novel. I really care about this novel, and I think this whole Writer's Craft thing may be really good. I'm picking up more tips, a couple I admit Steph already told me, but I'd much rather be working on my novel and the Family 48 short stories I'm bouncing around. I'm finding school to be more and more of a burden to my writing career. I'm thinking that Saturday I'm going to pack up, go to Tango's, sit somewhere and just write out as much as I can get out. I want to get most of the Family 48 stories and The Last Dance Revolution finished by the time I'm half through university.

Well, I don't have anything else I feel the need to write here. I just felt the need to tell you guys how I feel. That and Steph was complaining earlier that I don't post as much as I used to, so I'm going to try and post more. I'll search news stories and stuff.

You True Love Will Maybe Find You

Where the Aspies Roam

Just came from the Giant Squid. Didn't get any new movies, just needed to get out of the house. It's how I deal with my little sisters screaming. I can't take well, screaming. I need to get out of the house and take a walk. I took a walk downtown. I'm at the library at the moment. Not sure this is necessarily the best place for me to be, what with March Break ending and everything. What I need to do is hide in my room for the rest of the day. Sort of a meditation thing.
Incidentally, Steph, if your reading this I want to talk with you. Nothing really important I just want to run some stuff by you. I feel the need to do stuff like that because I respect you. I tried to reach you but your were preoccupied. If we can get together on MSN sometime that would be great.
Hm, I don't really have anything to talk about. That's sad because this was going to be one of those great big posts. Ah, well.
March Break is really what this was all about when I think of it. Did I have a good March Break? Well, I'm not sure. It was satisfactory, but to much actual nothing. What I want is more socialization. I need more friends to hang out with. Oh, Loncrow did come over and we had a good game of D20 Modern. I can't wait until he can come again. Still, there were some things I didn't get to do. I didn't get to go out to see any movies, and there was some social interaction with another Aspie we never got around to doing this week. Will probably meet him again at a latter date.
Anyway, I'm going to continue to fiddle around on this computer for awhile and then go home. I should probably work on adjusting my emotional level to calm and serene.

March Break is almost over (whimper)

So, March break is slowly coming to an end. This makes me sad because I don't want to go back to school. I've got myself into a nice relaxed mood where I hang out in coffee shops and write my novel. I don't want to go back to the stressful environment of the klingon penal asteroid.
March Break was a pretty good time however. I got myself a new jacket, which is the kind of jacket I picture Naos wearing, except his has a patch for the band "Gunslynger" which hasn't been formed yet. I call it the jacket of Naos and it gives me +4 on all will saves against stress and a +5 armour bonus against all Lawful or Evil attacks. I also got myself some new books. As I have already said, I have the first volume of The Invisibles, and I have also picked up some new used books. Two Michael Moorcock books. The Warlord of the Air and The Jewel In The Skull, as well as a book of William Blake's poetry. I also tried to look for William S. Burrough's Naked Lunch, but I couldn't find it.
I also checked out Wilfred Laurier University. Wilfred Laurier is a really cool university that I am going to try really hard to go too as it is small, has a good program for people with Aspergers such as myself, and has alot of cool stuff I'd like to take. Not as many studies on Middle-Eastern and Asian civilizations as I'd like, but the Medeval Studies looked like fun. There's also a film studies class and I'm interested in making movies since I've been watching so many recently. I've seen, let's see, Kill Bill Volumes 1&2, both really good. Chasing Amy, which I will know say is Kevin Smith's best movie and Tank Girl, which was interesting. It's based on a series of independent comics. I'm not in the mood to go into further detail on it.
This computer is being stupid and won't let me edit anything. So I'm going to stop writing on it. May all it's children grow up to be Conservatives.

Loncrow and The Invisibles. Hm, that might make a good band name

I'm a little unsure about making a post right know, but I figure that I should post anyway because I don't want to loose concentration on the blog. I have to many friends on this to loose it now.

Speaking of friends, Loncrow is coming over today for D20 Modern, and possibly PlayStation 2 and a movie or two. I'm a little anxious because he said he'd be hear right now. I'm thinking I should call him. Mom and Dad say I should wait awhile though. Still nervous, Loncrow is my closest real friend and I don't get to see him much. I am really sure that Loncrow and me are part of some kind of ka-tet. A ka-tet, for those of you who are not familiar with The Dark Tower series, is a group of people tied together by the bonds of destiny (or ka, if you prefer). When I told this to Loncrow last time he was here, he didn't take it that seriously, but he did admit we are on the same wavelength more or less.

I picked up Volume One of Grant Morrison's The Invisibles yesterday. It was interesting and has given me a lot to think about. For one thing, I am pretty sure I have come up with the same thing. The basic premise to the Invisibles, is that a secret conspiracy of occultist-fashion conscious anarchists have been fighting a secret war against another secret conspiracy based on order and repression. That's basically my urban fantasy thing, only mine has a pantheon, which I admit is basically a mix of various Hindu, Gnostic and Pre-Islamic Arabian deities along with the various gods of H.P. Lovecraft's and William Blake's mythologies, all worked into some New Age weirdness. I'm thinking I should write a letter to Grant Morrison to see what he thinks of the universe I created that may or may not be the same one he made.

Anyway, more on the Invisibles. Not something to be read lightly, it's a social commentary more then anything. It has all the good weirdness of Doom Patrol and Animal Man, and seems to have this disconserting factor I've been piking up. When I read the Animal Man comics awhile back I felt kind of awkward reading them towards the end. I get that feeling from reading the Invisibles and this is only the first eight issues. It may have something to do with the allusions to the Marquis De Sade. For all it's weirdness, I have to admit that Grant Morrison does have a point when he says that society has brought alot of negativity to human beings. We are living in a really screwed up world, and we can probubly blame this on the people running the world, and us for being stupid enough to follow them. Also, the ultimate goal of the Invisibles is one I can sympathize with, creating a utopia where everyone is happy. Think about it, the utopia of a religious fundamentalist would be different then mine.

Okay, enough blabering, I'm going to finish this post now. There it's done.

Mmmm, that's good alien life form

Hey, just found this article on Neil Gaiman's blog. You have to read this. I'd post more but I must swiftly go to the library.

Looking forward to March Break. March Break will have nothing to do with this post.

So, I'm working in a co-op as part of my school. The workplace in question is a local museaum with a bunch of pioneer and Victorian stuff. Basically, I entered in a bunch of stuff onto a computer database. Yesterday I did doilies and tablecloths. It's kind of boring, but they give me a lot of free time. My parents are giving me a hard time about it by asking me stupid questions like how many artifacts I put into the database per day, which I don't pay attention to. I suppose I shouldn't complain, because they're giving me a lift until the weather becomes more tollerable.
Speaking of the weather, it's hell outside. The sidewalks are covered with ice and the town council isn't doing a thing about it. I nearly tripped on my way to the library today, (which is were I am now). It's annoting, That and snow is going down everywhere. I think it may be having an effect on my emotions, as I have been feeling kind of depressed lately. I'd like to take a vacation to a nice tropical place, that would be great.
The novel is coming along slowly. I can't seem to get it just the way I want. At the moment I'm concentrating on the first bit were Naos and Helen are trying to make a new life for themselves in the Desert, but don't do it because they have to complete the rest of the novel. Along with this I plan on writing in the first year or so of Naos and Helen's relationship. Helen is beginning to take on some Aspergers traits as I write this. I have this one seane where Naos gives Helen some flowers, and Helen just thinks "What are these for?" I suppose it's only write for Helen to have social difficulties, as she wasn't intended to have anything like a real social life by her creators, so I imagine she should have some similarities to Aspergers Syndrome.
Anyway, I heard a thing on Neil Gaiman's blog about a library that came under attack by the Religious Right, because there children were watching internet porn on the library internet. Naturally, this lead to the American Inquistion searching the library and finding all kinds of stuff on safe-sex and homosexuality. Naturally, the Religious Right wanted the Library shut down. I think the Library is shut down, but there are several problems here. Number One, I hate the Religious Right. I believe that you guys are going to kill us all and I seriously believe that if Jesus was to come down from heaven on his holy-Harley (refrence to my mythology, Jesus is a biker in it), the Religios Right would be the first people he'd complain about. Number Two, there your kids. If don't want them to watch internet porn then watch them, or at least not get so worked up about them. Was it not Khalil Gibran who said "You can give them your love but not there thoughts, they have there own thoughts." I'm pretty sure he said something to that effect. I know that porn isn't the best thing to be into, but you can't control people's thoughts. Number Three, and this has nothing about the library, this is just part of my tirade against the Religious Right, which is all this paragraph is really, me bitching about the religious right. Keep religion out of your politics. Jesus dosn't support any wars, especially not a war that is all about greed and prestige. If I had anything to say about it, you'd all go to hell for that, and I don't even believe in that kind of afterlife. I would create hell just for you guys to suffer in. Not sure what I'd do, probubly make you lisean to hippie music for all eternity. However, I cannot do this, because A) I'm not God (no matter how good a God I would make) and B) If I was God, then I'd have to love all my creations equally I'd probubly just send a bunch of Prophets or something among you which you would eventually kill.
Kay, I have nineteen minutes to look at stuff on this internet computer. Don't worry, it won't be porn.

They're both idiots

So I was thinking why do we have two parties? In both America and Canada, there are two parties, the left and the right, the Democrats and the Republicans, the Liberals and the Conservatives. Sure, there are a bunch of other parties, but for the most part it's just these two. Why is this? Why don't we have three major parties, or seven major parties? Why just two?

I don't think it's a good idea we have here for only having two parties. From what I've been able to tell from these parties, it's basically choosing the lesser of two evils. Take the last election we had in Canada. There was a whole bunch of stuff about the Liberals being corrupt and how Paul Martin was doing something bad I don't remember, and so know the Conservatives run the country. I find this a problem because I don't agree with Conservative goals, for instance I am pro gay marriage and anti-Bush. It's probably a sign of my times that I automatically equate conservative with fascism. It's probably a mistake on my part. Liberals are just as likely to become fascists, except then there called communists.

So basically, it seems to me that all these parties really do in there advertisements is insult each other. This isn't nice. If that's all they can come up with then we shouldn't vote for either of them. They should be sent into a corner for a time out for insulting each other. What I would like to see is a fight breaking out in Parliament because a member of the Liberal party got his parking space stolen from a member of the Conservative party. Seeing politicians really act like children would be endlessly amusing to me, just so I can point out to everyone how I was right and they are all a bunch of children.

So, how would a bunch more political parties work. Well, maybe it wouldn't, but we need to get more options out. We're basically trapped between a rock and a hard place when it comes to politics. We're practically a step away from the People's Republic of China. I don't think this whole two waring factions thing is going to work out. I don't know what we should do.

You want to know what I want to do? I want to get of the ride. Don't worry, this isn't the suicide talk, I don't want to die. I just don't want to live in a world were I have to put up with a bunch of people who I don't trust trying to control my life. Shit, now I'm all sad. I'm signing off. I'm just voting NDP.

Be careful what you eat and my Lost theory

Good news, I have Internet access on one of the home computers. So I can blog from the comfort of my own home. So now I will tell you what has been going on in my life that is worth talking about.

First, a bag of Valentine's chocolate cookie things. I found a bag of them beside the computer. So naturally I took some. They were pretty good, but then I read the instructions and it sounded like it was an aphrodisiac or something. I asked Dad about it and he said that all aphrodisiacs are placebos. I suppose this is good because I'm not sure I should take aphrodisiacs.

In more important news, I have a new theory for Lost. My theory isn't going to be much, just a simple prediction. By the end of the series, everyone will have died. I'm just getting this in. So far while I've watched they've killed of Ana Lucia, Ecko and there is a good chane Charlie is going to die. There's also Michael who betrayed the Jack, Kate and Sawyer. He didn't die but he did go away so him and his son Walt are out of the picture. Oh, and there was Hurley's girlfreind. I forgot about her. And a few Others, but there just annoying because they don't tell you anything and you know they got some bad stuff going on, but there not going to tell you and it's all really Clockwork Orange. And don't get me started on the Polar Bears.

So, that's about it. There are more things, but I got distracted by the internet and must now go to Bed. Tomorrow, stuff about some way cool movies from the Giant Squid. (I.E. Dead Man and The Big Lebowski) Both are great. Go see them. Study them carefully.

Valentine's Day and a near encounter with Tabacco Industry Lizards that left me questioing my sanity

Happy Valentine's day everyone, the day when we celebrate how frustrating relationships are, except for those of us who don't have relationships. We just think about how we're so lonely.

School is becoming more and more frustrating. I beg for assistance. Steph, please send an army of vikings to liberate me from the School Board. I'd join you in Norway myself, but I have plans here and I would hate to be a third wheel. I suppose I can just dream of having an apartment in Toronto some day, where I can just sit in front of a window and write my novels. Steppenwolf playing in the background. Surrounded by my vast collection of books.
So, anyway, another thing that happened at school was some kids came dressed as representatives of Big Tobacco Industries. They were dressed in business suits and sunglasses. It was one of those things that keeps kids from smocking cigarettes. The thought that went through my mind was. There Lizards. Like in my mythology. They looked exactly like I think the Lizards would dress if they took human form. So for the rest of my day, I went into a weird paranoid way about the Lizards. I was taking it so literally I thought, hey do I actually believe this?
Thinking about it know, I'm pretty certain I don't. I was just playing at living in my fantasy world, which helps me get through the day. If I really believed it, I'd be smart enough to keep my mouth shut about the whole thing because the Lizards would have me re-educated and turned into a Sub-human for there army. This makes me feel better, since I don't want to go crazy until I have written a few more novels.
Computers at home still won't work, so I'm at the Library. I plan on getting some stuff for the conspiracy theory world I'm working on. Mainly stuff on Christian heresies. The weather sure hasn't been helpful. The snow came down like crazy last night. It's like the North pole here, without the global warming I might add. It's crazy.
Ah, well, that's all I can think off. I hope everyone has a good rest of the day.

Pre-Valentine's Blues

So that job at the Rogers Video I told you about isn't going to happen. Turns out they thought it was a co-op placement and I'll be getting that at the museum. I suppose it's for the best, Rogers is to much of a chain store.
So Valentine's day is coming up. This always highlights my isolation from everyone. I'm not going into to much detail, since I'm not in a mood to post some of my deeper thoughts on the internet. I'm also feeling isolated from my parents. I just don't think I can talk to them anymore. They'd probubly say that I can always talk to them, but I don't want to. Shit, know I feel all lonely again. sigh.
Anyway, that's about it. Computer still dosn't work. Can't think of anything else to say. Bye

A Savage and Possibly Frightening Voyage into my Imagination

I've got homework. I've got to write up a thing on Employment Insurance (Canadian Unemployment Insurance), write up this thing in Writer's Craft, and then I have to do a thing on Mythania. It involves making a map of the Aethean Sea, as well as getting a bunch of things on creating worlds for creating fantasy worlds. Shouldn't be so hard, as I have a few links already. Oh right, they're on the computer that doesn't work anymore. Ah well, it still won't be to hard. That and I have to potentially write up a bunch of stuff for it. I suppose just a brief description of it would be fine. Then there's the time period I have to choose. I figure around 100 CSY, which should be around 250 in the calendar I just made up for this religious brotherhood that took over what was left of the Anoran Empire.
On other notes, I'm putting away at the novel. For the most part all I've written are a bunch of conversations between Naos and Helen. There are a few other things that are going on, but it seems to mostly be Naos and Helen recalling memories of stuff. I suppose that is good, since I believe, or at least hope, they reveal a lot of stuff about the characters. I'm also trying to come up with a bunch of quotes to begin each section. So far I just got a bunch of song lyrics and a bit of William Blake. I'm also thinking about making a soundtrack for the book, so I can get the right idea of the world. I worked on it before I came here, to the public library, that's were I am at the moment by the way. Figured I'd come over here and see if I can't find some Bob Dylan, since he's one of the artists I closely associate with Naos. Then maybe I'll see if they have the soundtrack for Easy Rider. I don't know if they do, but I figure it will help with the first Act. I've separated the novel into five acts, act five acting more as an epilogue. The titles of these acts are as follows.
Act One, On the Road in the Former United States of America
Act Two, Say you want a Revolution
Act Three, Fear and Loathing on the Material Plane
Act Four, The Enlightenment of Naos Ben-David
Act Five, N/A, I still have to think this one up. I was thinking of "God's Mercy on you swine," but I already have a reference to Hunter S. Thompson. I may just use that as a quote.
I'm also thinking of putting an intermission of some sort in after Act Two or half way through Act Three. Or maybe I could have a bunch of intermissions. Three, let's say. One at the end of act One, another at the end of Act Two, and another in the middle of Act Three. After that the plot begins to get really fast pas and I don't think there should be any intermissions, except for maybe something that says "There will be no more intermissions," only more dark and not as direct. This will be right before Act Four.
On another note, I'm working on what I hope to be the first story of my "Song of the 60's," story ark. The working title is "How Sophia Campion and Daniel Taylor avoided the Loony Bin and Tuned in, Turned off and Dropped Out," or something long like that. It basically deals with how two of the characters got involved in the big thing that happens and begin there voyage to San Fransisco.
I haven't really explained Song of the 60's yet. Well, it's basically a thing I wanted to write in more or less the same vein as Lost. I've been really interested in the 60's and I thought it would be an interesting place to write about. Off course, since it's me, it's going to involve an ancient conspiracy, interdemensional travel, a battle between the forces of good and evil, and my mythology. Off course, considering that this is the 1960's were talking about, it's probably not that strange to have an immortal Sufi-Warrior Mystic, a trio of prophets based on the Marx Brothers (sans Zeppo), and Naos walking around the place.
How is this going to be like Lost? Well, I plan on having back stories for all the characters that run into each other. Since there are going to be a very wide cast of characters, including various historical characters such as inhabitants of this time period (Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey and Hunter S. Thompson will all play roles of some kind as well as anyone else who seems appropriate), and a few who don't but could probably fit easily in. For instance characters like William Blake, Jesus Christ, Alastair Crowley (who's spirit has been trapped in a pickle jar since his death and is used as a scrying device), Emperor Norton the First, H.P. Lovecraft and a whole host of Sufis, Troubadours, Cathars, Knights Templar and other such individuals. And, this is a recent development, they are all connected in some way. For instance, one of the characters descendants met H.P. Lovecraft in an incident with the Necronomicon, another character is reading a book on by Joseph Keating (A British Professor Ala Tolkien), who in tern is trying to figure out this conspiracy that's coming in around him and what to do with these weird crystal stick thing (That incidentally belongs to a changeling sorcerer who is currently on his way to San Fransisco wondering what happened to the past twenty years of his life and why he's in America to begin with). Also, in an earlier flashback, Joseph Keating has memories of sitting in the trenches of World War One with an Arab chap with a sword who saved his life. Well, this Arab chap happened to be Are'do Muhammad Islam, the above mentioned Immortal Sufi-Warrior Mystic, who during a trip to Damascus after WWII would find a naked man who, well that's giving away to much.
I may just try making this into a series. I think the CBC might take it, or if that doesn't work, maybe Showcase or Bravo would be interesting in putting up a potentially controversial and genre bending series. Well, I better be going now. Time is running out on the computer.
