Well, it seems like decades sine I have updated this little journal of mine. I feel no real obligation to do so now, but I kinda want to anyway. So College is treating me a bit nicely. In my second semester at Emerson and I can slowly feel my brain melting and dripping out of my inner ear cavity. Ok, so I am a very excited Alex seeing as I have just found out that I am going to be the proud father of a cute ass baby girl this June. We are thinking fo Hazel as a name, but if anyone wants to chip in with their two cents, I am not above accepting some other opinions. Actually this is all I really have time to write because I need to shove off to class. But for all of you who still do the whole livejournal thing, I would just like to say... What's up? |

Ok, so I had a very interesting talk with my with cousin Wendell last night on Aim. Creepy, but interesting. It was something about how he's dating three girls at the same time who go to the same school, and none of them know about it. How is that possible? |

She watched the mountains pass by through the frosted windows as the train ran down the tracks. The snow capped peaks seemed to touch the sky, while some were enveloped by a sea of clouds above. The grass would not be seen through a thick sheet of snow and brambles stuck out through the ice. Heather leaned over a pressed her nose against the window, not caring for the cold. She put her hand against the frost and quickly took it away, admiring her print in the melted water.
She sighed to herself and looked around the train cart. Her little brother was sprawled across her mothers lap with his hand clutching a little book. She laughed as he twisted around and nearly fell to te ground. Her father was leaned against the side of the cart with notes in one hand and a pen in the other. His glasses were close to falling off of his head and his hair seemed to have not been washed in days. Heather pushed her light brown hair out of her face and tightened her coat.
The cold was seeping into the train through small cracks and not even the heater could help keep it in check. Her father had gotten them a first class ticket so the seats were extra comfortable. She looked out of the window again and saw that they were now passing a frozen river, and she admired it as the sun glinted off of the ice. She fell back in her chair and felt a large lump against her back. She groped around her and pulled out her pack. It was half open and a small photo album was poking out of it. She took a frozen finger and she opened the lock on the cover.
She smiled as she flipped through the pictures and even laughed. A tear began to form at the base of her eye, and she quickly brushed it away. She closed the book promptly and locked it back. She set it down next to her pack and read the note on the cover that said, “To heather from everyone in Minnesota. Never forget us!”
Heather blew a breath of fresh air onto the window and watched as the fog formed and quickly disappeared. Suddenly she saw a sign pass in front of her. She slumped back into her chair and closed her eyes, letting the words of the sign imprint themselves into her mind. She drew her suit case closer to her and blew on the window again, this time taking her finger and sweeping it across the window. She drew her jacket tighter and began to cry as she saw what she had written.
“Welcome to Colorado.” |

You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect. You
are not really the stereotypical hero, but you
do fight for good. Just in your own way. For
you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil
person, if it is for justice and peace. You
also don't belive in mourning all the time and
think that once you've hit a bad stage in life
you just have to get up again. It's pointless
to concentrate on emotional pain and better to
just get on with everything. You also are a
down to earth type of person and think before
you act. Impulsive people may annoy you
somewhat.
Main weapon: Sword
Quote: "Always do the right thing.
This will gratify some people and astonish the
rest" -Mark Twain
Facial expression: Small smile
