EDIT: RIOUX IS NOW ~Rioux-The-Great !!!
DOUBLE EDIT: Ezri is now ~Demon-Child-Ezri !!

Ezri and I have decided what to do with ATL.
...
...
...
*dramatic music*

We've decided to both leave ATL. We shall both be making separate accounts, for the simple reason we don't want to clean up what the other left behind. XD Horray for laziness! XDDD -shot-

We're both making our new accounts today, and we'll both update this journal with our new accounts. :3

...I feel like we should reflect some...
Let's see...I had bipolar moments and gave up drawing, and Ezri abandoned you for long periods of time...
...
God, why do you still watch us?? XDDDD

Welp, it's been fun. Smell ya later!

We're gonna clean out our galler (maybe) and...that'll be that. You guys have been GREAT. Like Frosted Flakes great.

<3

I'm thinking about getting my own DA, so Ezri and I can have our separate accounts and all. It's just weird now, considering I don't draw any more, but Ezri does. But I'm not sure I want to...Because what if Rioux is a taken username?! That'd be awful!

...

Actually, I'd manage. I'll think of something else great.

But, yeah. What do y'all think? I know it'd be pretty lame, after two years and all, but whatever. I think it'd be good. At least for me, anyway, since most of the ATL love is for Ezri's drawings. XD Plus, we both delete each other's messages. Which kind of is dumb on both our parts, but mainly Ezzy's. (ILU EZZY. XD JK GURL.)

It's just something I've been thinking about for a few days. I'm gonna decide probably by the end of tomorrow, so I can go ahead and get all my stuff moved.

So, I'm just wonderin' what y'all have to say about it. Lemme know fast!!

<3 Rioux

PS - Happy Memorial Day, everyone! Keep the men and women who fight for our country in your hearts, especially today. (:

I've been traveling for so long
So lost 'til I stumbled upon
Two roads in front of me
I had to take my time

To the right I could see a church
I took a step in that direction first
But to the left there was a watering hole where they were whiskey drunk and now thats were I wanna pray!

The fight down here goes on and on

If I was perfect, then this would be easy
Either road is plausible
On both I could drown
I walk through the center, with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult
But now I can see

There's gotta be another way to go
A way that's much more feasible
A combination of all these lies
A central path without choosing a side

I make decisions one at a time
And no I never say I'm always right
I'm confident that when I stand on my own, you'll see the truest form of a man
When I'm shining through

The fight down here goes on and on

If I was perfect, then this would be easy
Either road is plausible
On both I could drown
I walk through the center, with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult
But now I can see

Oh, I hear them now
All the religous rhythms
(You're all sin-)
(You're all sin-)
(You're all sinners!)

The left isn't better it's just more of the same
Condemning all these people for what they believe
I'll climb to the top of the mountain again
No harm is done to see me this way
And the closer to the top I get the more they take aim
But I'm not you

I may not be perfect, but I've always been true
I may not be worthy in your eyes
Climb up from the bottom for the last time
The last one
The last one
The last time

If I was perfect, then this would be easy
Either road is plausible
On both I could drown
I walk through the center, with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult
But now I can see

God, I love Avenged Sevenfold. Crossroads (Lyrics above) is my favorite song again for now.

Anywho. I'm going to sit down here and babble for a while and tell y'all when I'm not doing much any more 'round here.

One, I've got school. My English teacher has decided that she is going to load us with work with like, 2 weeks left of school. This displeases me, especially since my other classes have decided they should, too! How bloody lovely. -_- So, as of today, I have a paper due over women's rights Tuesday, study for the English final exam, learn about the digestive system and all the terms associated with it as well as the circulatory system and respiratory system by tomorrow for a test, prepare for THAT final exam, and manage to juggle in two other final exams. XP Fun, right?

Next on the list shall be family. My grandma's currently very sick. Her lungs are really bad, like a smoker's, regardless of the fact she's NEVER smoked, and she's got pneumonia. So I keep having to travel to the east part of the state to visit her. Which then leaves me with LESS time for work. But what bothers me is that her doctors are morons. One day, they say she's dying. So we rush up there to see her. We get there the next day and "Oh, she's not dying. Sorry." But she's fine. Really. They're just incapable of telling us something accurate, it seems. But what really bothers me is my grandma herself. She called yesterday and said, "Well, can you come drop by tomorrow? For a quick visit?" QUICK VISIT? It's at least a three hour frickin' trip! There's no such thing as a 'quick visit'!
...
But I'm not mad at her. I get that she's scared about dying and everything. It's just that to me, she's selfish in this situation. (ACtually, a lot of this is what my dad says frequently says. I'm just finally believing the man. Probably shoulda done that sooner.)

Then there are my other various projects. I don't wanna babbly about those, though, really.

All the while, I'm balancing friends, writing, and finding time to even scream. (I'm really hurting myself by writing this thing. Oh well. Y'all have a right to know what's up.)

So obviously, things are being chopped from the list. The first to go was writing, which really bothers me. It's one of the things I can say I'm genuinely good at, and I'm struggling to find the time to squeeze it in. You can see how that's working out. I haven't even STARTED chapter four, but I do have ideas swimming around in my head, screaming to be put on paper. I'll get back on track this summer, though.

I've also basically sacrificed the internet other than checking my e-mail and what's needed for school. I may swing by here once and a while, but it's very limited. Respond to a comment or two, but that's really it.

Rootbeerbubbledoom, sorry I've had to basically quit betaing for ya. If I do go out east this weekend (which I think I am), I'll take what you've sent me thus far and really get to work with that. Thanks for being so patient with me, I know you're itching to get back what you've sent.

...

I think that's it. Later amigos and amigas!

Rules:
1. You must answer every question without lying ONCE.
2. At the end, you must tag not one, not two, not three, but FOUR people.
3. Those people you tag must either be sent a note or you have to give them a comment on their page saying "You've been tagged!"
4. At the bottom of the questions, you must answer the very last one (before the one that asks who you tag) with, "I do solemnly swear that I have confessed the truth in all the above questions." Or else you epic! phailed the whole THING!


1) Tell us a little bit about yourself. Gender, age, hobbies?
Hello. I'm -pose- SUPER RIOUX, AT YOUR SERVICE. I'm young, despite the fact aht I act like an old fart. XDD I like reading, writing, being awesome, bowling, LISTENIN' TO MAH MUSIC, aaaaand talking\texting!

2) Now let's get a little deeper! Do you have a secret crush?
-shifty eyes- MAAAAAYBE.

3) Do you prefer men, women, both, or neither?
As in, like, relationships? Men. Otherwise, I could care less. I have lotsa guy and girl friends.

4) Are you one of those people who believe the forwarded messages that spam your inbox?
God no.

5) WHY are you best friends with your best friend?
Uh...I don't have ONE bst friend. Lol I have too many friends to single one out as the best. They've all got their own characteristics that make them special.

6) Do you like where you are in life? Where you're going, where you've been?
Uh...I'm okay with where I am now, I LOVE where I'm going, and I've got nothing against where I've been. If I hadn't done the things I'd done, I wouldn't be who I am. And if certain things hadn't happened, my life'd be so different. I wouldn't change it for the world.

7) Is there anything you'd like to accomplish before you go?
I wanna travel the world, find a great guy and have a family with him, learn 2 other languages, and go sky-diving and bungee-jumping at least once each. Not necessarily in that order.

8) How strict are your parents? The annoying kind of strict, or the too loose?
My parents are evenly strict. They're not crazy strict, but they're most certainly not lax.

9) Siblings? If so, how many and do you like them at ALL? If not, do you feel lucky?
I have an older brother. We don't get along spectacularly, but that's okay.

10) Do you have a favorite book? Or if you don't read books, maybe a magazine?
I read WAY too much to have a favorite book.

11) Favorite genre of music?
Rock. Or anything that makes me laugh.

12) Song?
I'll just put the songs that I've listened to today.
"Eye of the Tiger" - Survivor
"Misery Business" - Paramore
"All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me)" - Bullet For My Valentine
"Dead Puppies" - ...IDK who. D:
"Fish Heads" - ...IDK who. D: -shot-
"Love Games" - OLD GREG. 8D LOLOL
"Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting" - Carl Douglas

13) Artist?
Too many to count.

14) Water bottle company?
AQUAFINA. 'Cause they used to have a British spokesman. XD

15) Video game?
Oh heavens. KH 1 and 2, all the GH games I have, DDR, Jak 1-3, POKEMON. 8D and Pandemic 2 on the PC.

16) 'Nuff of that! Time to roleplay! Now, you're running from the law and are running through the sewers to get to safety. You come to an intersection; one direction is water and the other is cement. You know that if you take the water route, you'll most likely be safer at the end of it, and your scent will be lost by any dogs they're using... but the thought of trudging through that is not pleasant. The cement way is longer, but at the end, a friend is waiting to slip you through a secret passage, and you're more likely to get caught. Which way do you take?
Good lord. XD That's random. But I'd probably run for it. I'm not a fan of swimming, and I love the thought of having a more dangerous route to escape.

17) Your best friend is dangling at the edge of a cliff, right next to your mother. You only have time to save one of them. Which one will you save?
Dude. XD WTF? Um...I'd pull them both up. Thank God for upper body strength!

18) Your best friend confesses to you that she is madly in love with your boyfriend. What do you do?
I'd be like WTF?! But, I guess I'd find a way to work it all out.

19) QUICK! I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY THE SOVIET UNION AND NEED YOUR BANK NUMBER TO GET ENOUGH MONEY SO I CAN BUY MYSELF OUT! GIVE IT TO ME, QUICK, HURRY!!
OH MY GAWD, WE HAVE TO HURRY. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE OR ANYTHING, BUT I'LL SPRING YOU OUT!

20) Black cat crosses your path. Your reaction?
I'd look, snicker at the thought of bad luck, and keep on truckin'!

21) Is that--GASP--CHRIS BROWN??
OMG I SO DON'T CARE.

22) Omg. Ew. Chris Brown. How could you LIKE Chris BROWN?!
-refer to last comment-

23) You just encountered the love of your life kissing a different girl. How do you react?
I'd freak for like 2 seconds, then smack him. We'd work it out, though, maybe. Depends on how sorry he is.

24) What do you believe is the purpose of life?
Whatever you want it to be, kiddo. I think mine is to make others happy and make some sort of difference.

25) How did you like *our answers?
THEY'RE BETTER THAN YOURS.

26) Tagging time!!
I TAG YOU, YOU, YOU, AND YOU.
