Oh yeah. Hey, Jessie, my Democratic friend... David Boies (aka Al Gore's lawyer) is my cousin.. XD; Bwarharhar.
Recurring themes in Lyn's stories and characters that probably the only very observant noted:
When a person has had a bad childhood, usually the father is at fault (Sean, Pathos, Keagan, Celina, Reve, Harmatia & Peripetaia, and I'm sure there are others XD;). This does not mean that I dislike my father; in fact I think I have one of the greatest fathers in the whole world (and his birthday is this month^^;), I just dislike most men XD; This probably stemmed from constant exposure to my devilspawn brother. =P
The apocalypse is always just around the corner (Claris Project, the first series of Clarity [I would not consider Nemesis's plan the apocalypse since she just wants to wipe out humans, not the planet at large XD;], Stimulus, The Chrysalis of the Mind). I find the idea of the apocalypse to be fascinating, as do a lot of other writers, obviously...but just because it's been used a lot before isn't going to stop me from using a theme I find interesting. ^^; And no one knows what Stimulus and Chrysalis of the Mind are, so don't feel stupid if you don't.. XD;;
Angels do exist. (Claris Project, really, so far.. but I'm sure wings will pop up in Clarity somewhere XD;) I realize that angels are a bit cliched as well, but I've always loved angels. It's like genetic, because my mother is obsessed with them too. We have all kinds of angel paintings, books, statues, calendars, et cetera. I just love the idea to bits. And yes, I really do believe in angels... now stop looking at me like that...
Whenever a person is religious, they're usually Catholic. (Azura..I don't really have many other very religious characters, but if I do there's a 90 percent chance they're Catholic XD;) Catholicism is the only religion I know, being brought up on it. I don't agree with a lot of it, but I have respect for it like I do all religions. I also think it has the most beautiful churches of any Christian denomination in existence, regardless of the doctrines preached inside. XD; Its history is also interesting, though at times sickening...
Very rarely is a person wholly evil. (Sikari becomes so disgusted with himself that he commits suicide, I let a lot of my villains live, etc) I really believe this. I don't trust my fellow human beings much, but I really don't think any real human being is completely evil. It just doesn't make any sense to be completely one way or the other--I mean, no one is completely good, right? So how can anyone be completely evil? Probably the characters of mine that I'd call really evil are Samael (Sean's daddum :B) and Omnes..but Omnes isn't really evil, he's just unfathomably selfish XD; A lot of the time he doesn't have malice in what he does, he just does it because he's always bored and messing up people's lives is amusing to him. (still, I hate him =p) Samael.. well.. he's Samael.. XD;
Lyn likes wimpy or otherwise soft-hearted men. (Etienne, Xin, Aegis, et al) Sean might be Claris's counterpart and they will be together, but he is not my ideal man. ^^; My ideal man, if I even liked men, would be someone cute and sweet and gentle like Xin.. I could probably like someone like Aegis and Etienne too XD;
Lyn likes bishounen. (Like, every single male I ever created) Well, since I usually like girls more than guys, I'd say it's natural that the kind of men I like look like women anyway.. XD;
That's all I can think up off the top of m'head. I know y'all found it fascinating. XD;

::trying to figure out exactly how many objectives she has missing in History, since she has to turn her notebook in on Monday and it's going to count as a large part of her grade, supposedly --;:: Cos I was gone for two days for Grandma's funeral... and then we had three days off for Thanksgiving..and then there's weekends... blee....
MASH results:
You live in a Mansion.
You drive a Rolls Royce.
Your car is the color Green.
You live in the state California.
Your honeymoon is Paris, France.
Your occupation is a Famous writer.
You have this many kids: 0 (0 male; 0 female).
Eww, I don't want to live in California :B I kind of rigged the occupation thing.. XD; (Writer, Famous Writer, Extremely Famous Writer...)

Apparently my brother's day sucked... his physics class had to do this egg drop thing, wherein they design a container for an egg from only newspaper and masking tape, and then drop them off the bleachers in the gym. If your egg doesn't break, you get a 100..but if it breaks, you get an 80. Bryan's egg broke. ^^;
I went home from school early today (I mean -really- early... like in the middle of first period) and spent the rest of the day being shuffled around to the doctor's office and to the hospital... They x-rayed my foot; it's not broken (happily), but the doc says I have to keep my foot in a wrap and use crutches because it's sprained x.x I missed a test in History and a quiz in Chemistry... I really hate missing school, but you know, you have to do what you have to do, don't you. ^^;

Mewww, I'm sorry I was away when you left Sally X.X I love you.. I'm sorry I was a pain today too x.x
I've been messing around..trying to make wallpapers..and failing.. XD;;
::feels disgruntled:: I have this rule... when you have something you don't wish to tell anyone, that is fine. But you do NOT mention this something to me and then not elaborate upon it when I demand ELABORATION. It's like being that annoying girl in elementary school that ran around going 'I know something you don't know!' and it really makes me so angry. >< If you have a secret, FINE, but KEEP it a secret and do NOT mention it to me and get me PISSED OFF.
My ankle feels really, really weird. x.x;; ::doing homework:: Tomorrow is going to suck. I have to turn in my history notebook, and the grade on that is going to totally slaughter my average >_> I really hope I don't get grounded for my grades this six weeks..but it seems like it's gonna happen x.x

I got run over by a CAR today. WOO. I'm in a LOT OF PAIN.
How did it happen? Well, I was coming out of school, walking with some acquaintances (Michelle Lewis and Lauren Tingle--Michelle was taking both of us home) and we went by this guy Justin's car. I've known Justin since sixth grade and we've always had sort of a hate/mild dislike relationship, but he takes me and my brother home a lot--I was just hitching a ride from Michelle today because I could =p, and anyway Michelle and Lauren were talking to him and I was sort of following behind.. and then Justin started being dumb and he moved his car forward, and it hit me and I fell, and he kept going forward and my foot got caught beneath the wheel. I started screaming as loud as I could and he backed up and everyone was crowding around me and I was cursing Justin out and crying..and then I calmed down and the band director came out.. Bryan called Dad, and then Bryan started freaking out because he thought he'd get in trouble (blarg :B), but Dad didn't yell.. they just took me home and I sat around for a few hours with ice on my ankle.
The bad side: It still hurts and I've done hardly any of my hw.
The upside: I get to lord this over Justin for the rest of his life. =p But I won't, at least, not all the time X3;;
Admittedly I would have rather just gone home and done my homework quietly and gotten on like a normal day..but you know, stuff happens..and you have to make the best of it, even if it includes excruciating pain.

I'm considering moving my blog to Kurai's main page... :B Probably won't though..^^; Just thinking of it...
The fact that I am so different makes me wonder if I should change myself... but I don't think I can. I'm currently trying to become a better me--reading more, writing more, trying to be nicer to people in general, trying very hard to take things less seriously, trying to keep my problems to myself (so as not to bother people with whining)... etc. But I can't turn myself around the way I think is neccessary for me to fit in. It's just not going to happen, I can't do it and I wouldn't feel right doing it anyway. So I guess I'm doomed to be alone. --;
I don't think Kyla realizes how extraordinarily jealous of her I am... mostly because everyone in the little knot of people we know at school pretty well likes her better than me. In most groups I'm in, online or off, I always seem to be the odd man out...but it's most painful offline...This little group is the one that I'm most like, but even then we seem to be polar opposites. I'm actually even Kyla's polar opposite, and we argue like a married couple all the time. I have a lot of people I know online, and don't get me wrong.. I love them all, but I'm sure they know what I mean when I say that it's just not the same. I can't see them everyday, I can't look into their eyes or hear their voice or talk to them at lunch or walk with them to classes. I can't bother them for hugs when I'm upset, or hug them when they're upset.
...now I'm depressing myself.

I really want to make a page for Ken from Digimon... but it would suck, because I suck at those kinds of pages....
We went to Target today because I needed paper and notebooks and suchlike for school..and mom went in to talk to Dad before we left and he told her to get Final Fantasy IX..and she said how could she do that if I was going with her, and he said to say that it was for him.. XD As if my dad even knows how to work the PS controller...anyway we went and stared at the display case for a while and I pointed out some other games I wanted to try (Chrono Cross, Valkyrie Profile, The Legend of Dragoon, Wild Arms II..), and I said that if they got me two get FF9 and Chrono Cross.. ^^; It would be cool if I got two new games..that would definitely keep me busy.. x.x
I have way too much homework tonight.. x.x But anyway, I started writing Claris again. Yes, I know you're all rejoicing.. XD;;
