Geordon’s Neighborhood

So yeah... don't be suprised if I add more to this.

Ok so I got back from Harry Potter weekend yesterday and was kinda sad. It was soooooooo much fun! On the first day I went to Diagon Alley and got all my supplies as well as a broom, even though I was a first year! Then we went to the great hall and ate dinner at about midnight. It was really good and there were lots of sweets. All the first years, including me, were sorted before dinner. I was put in Gryffindor and Sarah, my bethel sister, was put in Ravenclaw. So after dinre we all went up to our "dorm" and "common room" and we had a meeting in Gryffindor and got our Quittich team togather as well as our Broom race team. Then some of the girls went to the library to answer some questions, I don't know what they were for though I wasn't paying attention... While the rest of us went to bed.

Then the next morning we all went to breakfast and that was also good. We had pancakes and bacon and sussage.  Then we went back up to our "dorm" and got our stuff for class togather. After a few muinets we all went to our Defence Aginst The Dark Arts class. After that class we had Numerology, I still have to finish that class packet...  Our other clasess were Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Chior, Potions and Transfiguration, and by the way the Polyjuice Poition was so sweet that it tasted bad, then it was Quidditch or The Art of Magical Candy Making, I wanted to take the candy making class but I was stuck in Quidditch, then Astrorlogy at 9:15 but that was after dinner.

During the day we had a break from clasess for Quidditch and the Magical Broom races. Gryffindor got second place in the broom races and the Quidditch tournament. I got to be our teams Keeper, and let me tell you it is not as easy as Oliver Wood makes it look in the movies.Anyways later after dinner we all went to Hogsmead and went shopping, then it was back to bed for us. We had our O.W.L.s in the morning.

So the next morning Gryffindor woke up a little late so we all jsut threw on our capes and went to breakfast in our p.j.'s. After breakfast we ran up to grab our quils and then ran back down so we wouldn't be late for our teses, we had tree girls late though, oh well.  After our tests we all helped clean up and pack our stuff so we could get home on time. Then at lunch we got our results for the test and found out who won the house cup. Slytherin won! Go them! Gryffindor got second place, that's ok though, we'll win next year! After lunch we packed up the cars said our good byes along with trading e-ails and myspace names then left for home. I just can't wait for next year when I can go back and see everyone agian and meet new first years!

Go Go Gryffindor!!

Wow the summer seemed to fly by real fast. I can't believe that it's almsot fall. And I have a really busy fall. I'm going to two SCA events two weekends in a row. I'm going to be a lady in waiting for the princess at Grand Pagent on the 15. That event's in Indy, and then there's one on the 8th that's in Ohio! But I jsut wanted to post something beacause I haven't posted in awhile.

I'm convinsed now that boredom will be my down fall eventually. See I've been asked to not write fanfiction for a while so instead I'm kinda researching information on the real life legends of a faorite anime character of mine. It's quite intresting some of the things I've found out. See the character is a Kitsune, or fox, demon so I've been researching Kistunes. Now I'm gonna give a brief Japanese lesson to hopefully prevent confusion to all who read this.

• A Kitsune is a fox, I did a word translation search and the word Kitsune means fox. but for the sake of all who read this I will only be using the term Kitsune in referance to the sprit foxes in general.
• Also Inari is the Japanese god/goddess of rice & food and his/her messanger is the fox.

Ok so now that I've done that I can go on to some of what I've learned. And remeber this is two hours worth of knowlage found beacuse I was bored and proabally has pratically no use in the real world. Also I'm just a curious little teen age girl!

Ok so I found out that there two major types of kitsunes. There's the "myobu" which are the foxes that are accosicated with the god/goddess Inari. These are also the benevolent kitsunes. Also there are the nogitsune which are often the more violent sprit foxes, but aren't always.

Legends say that one of the "powers" a kitsune has is the power to shape shift. Their common forms are said to be either a beautiful woman, a pretty young girl, or an elderly man. Some other powers they have are posesion, the ability to create illusions so complex that you can't tell if what you're seeing is an illusion or not, and generate fire from either thier tails or mouths which is often called "fox fire".

In some legends kitsunes have trouble hiding their tails, these foxes usually only have one tail so it could be that they're inexpiranced but that's not the point, when they take a human form. in these an observent "good guy" sees right through the kitsune's desquise when the drunk or careless fox's tail begins to show. and the "good guy sees right through the drunk foxes trick.(*Smacks forehead* Why do I see this happening to Youko??) Another are dogs. Legends say that Kitsunes have a great fear and deep haterid of dogs and become so shaken in the presance of one that they take their true form and flee.

Now the weakness that caught my attention while i was doing this research was their emotions. Now all who read Yu Yu Hakusho and have seen the movie, the second one not the golden seal one, know that Kurama, or Youko Kurama to be more correct, had a parnter in crime that died during a hiest. Later Youko Kurama him self would "die".  But back to the emotions weakness, The web site that menentioned this said quote "A kitsune's emotions can cause them harm, or distract them. The Sin of Regret can even kill a kitsune outright." So I've decided to research this more Yes, it's a geeky fan girl thing but it is intresting. And I've always wondered why Youko got so careless on that hiest that he was "killed" at.

So that really all the info that I ahve for now. I'll proabally come back and edit this to add more or I'll make a completey different entry! Well I hope you enjoyed reading this and learned something that you will most likely never use!  

I tryed to post a count down for the pirates 3 movie tralier but it didn't work!! Darn! AH well, but I would like to say that there is a new one even though I haven't seen it yet. I have got to get on to disney.com! Well that was all I really wanted to say. I deleted the bogus entry and am replacing it with this!!

I'm typing this so i'll never ever forget Rusty. Though it's not likely that i would forget him him the first place.

Rusty was a small orangeish pomeranian. He was th fuzzyest thing you'd ever seen, with his tail always wagging and his paws always moving. He'd bark at anything, even the wind. During the day you would never be lolney beacus ehe was always there smiling with his little tail wagging back and forth. He was good company for a movie, espically when you had food, or just a quiet day. He was almost always willing to play a goame of "paws" with anyone who was willing to play. When ever you left the house he would want to go with, he loved to ride in the car. And when you came home he's be the happyest dog in the world, with all of his jumping and barking. And once you sat down he'd jump on you to lick you till you shoved him off. Rusty's favorite spots in the house were on the back of the couch, on our rocking chair, on you, or on a stack of pillows/blankets/clean lundry. For such a littel dog he had so much energy. When ever anyone in the family would leave he would go to the sliding glidding window that looked out into the car port. He would stay there untill that family member got home. When mom went to work he'd be there for mostly the entire morning, untill he got lonely and decided to spent the rest of the day with me in my room while i worked on the day's lessons. I'd look over to the left of my chair and there he'd be sitting or laying in the sun light waiting for me to pay attention to him. There were also time when he'd just come in and jump up into my lap to watch me do school work, or listen to a lecture with me while I would pet him. You were never lonley with Rusty there.  Rusty was the best dog anyone could ask for, though he was known for getting into, and rolling on, smelly things. He was loyal and loveable through and through.

Rusty died Tuesday March 6th, 2007. I hope you have fun chasing the bunnies up in heaven rusty, I'll miss you dearly. ;-)

Hey people! I know i havn't posted in awhile but i've been busy. Belive me i have been!! Oh, i also lost ALL of my information on my quizilla webpage so i've been redoing that. And curse you Ali!!!

Today i went up to the Woodfield mall and it was sooooooo nice to be at a "real" mall!! I didn't get much from there but it was stil nice to be in a huge mall that i don't know like the back of my hand. I think we went there and got my Ipod minni working agian. It was sooooo dead that even after two or three days of charging it still wouldn't turn on. We also went to the big borders up in that area and i saw the hard cover versions of the books Emperor Mage, In The Renlms Of The Gods, In The Hands Of The Godess, and The Woman Who Rides Like A Man.  I was told i don't need the books in hard coverbeacuse i have them all in paperback. That's just fine with me beacuse i like the covers of the paperback books better, but it would be cool if i did have bolth sets.  '^___^  I just can't wait for May, when the new Yu Yu Hakusho comes out, and September, when Blood hound is suppose to come out. I saw the new Ipod shuffles at  the apple store and they are tiny! OMG! I have friends who have ear rings bigger than them! In my room you could put it down and it could get lost in an instant, even when it's clean!! See i want the red Ipod nano! It looks really nice even without a jacket.  Well i got to go, i'll try to post more often. Really, i will.

Anyways later!! ^__^
