So get this-- Some idiots who live a block from my house were monitoring the neighborhood for a few weeks, and a couple weeks ago, while I went with the family to a reunion of sorts, They broke into our house (They didn't really break in, they probably just came in through the back door) and stole my computer. But that wasn't enough for them. Oh, no. They needed more. So they proceeded to steal from other houses in the SAME NEIGHBORHOOD!! How stupid can you be? So three days ago, the police are doing their now daily stroll of the neighborhood, when they come across a car parked a little off, so they check the car, make sure everything is alright, when, amazingly, they spot items that have been filed missing. XD That's all I got out of the officer, but I'm sure your imagination can tell you what happened next. Luckily, I got my computer back. They hadn't gotten to wiping the files yet. Idiots. lol. Anyways, I know I missed last months submission, so I'm gonna do two this month. Nothing fancy, just a drawing and more than likely a short story or a chapter from a book I've been brainstorming.




In other news, I fell in love with a new musical group called Antiphona no Seikahime. I recently found their music in a PSP game being released in japan, and I gotta say, I fell in love the moment it touched my ears <3. It's catchy, touches the soul, all with a cute look to it. Definitely worth looking into.

Adding to my monthly Journal Subscriptions will be a quiz hand made by yours truly, solely for the purpose of taking up space. lol. Starting this month will be an idea I thought of recently, titled 'Explorers Backpack'. Note that my quizzes prolly won't be very good, but just bear with them. lol. Anyways....
