I don't know about y'all, but I think I've been due for a new avatar for far too long. -_- I've been in a Suikoden mood lately, so I decided to dedicate this newbie to one of my favorite characters. (Even though he technically doesn't talk. ^_~ )

Anyway, not much has been happening on my end outside of the normal school-related stuff. Probably a good thing too; it keeps me preoccupied and out of trouble. It also boosts up my drive to eventually get back to writing my fanfics. (Provided that I can force myself to sit in front of the keyboard long enough to do it without being distracted my stuff like DBZ Abriged.. Dang it, Support KIRA! Why did ya have to introduce me to it?! *laughs* XD )

Well...actually there is a little bit of news from school that might be of interest to some of y'all. This year, one of my music classes put on a performance of Dido and Aeneas, a Baroque-era opera that runs about an hour or less. 'Twas a lot of fun, but it did prove difficult at first due to the nature of the text. If anyone is interested, the opera tells the tale of the Queen of Carthage and her Trojan lover, Aeneas, who end up having to part due to the will of the gods. The twist though is that it wasn't actually the gods who decreed this to be; it was actually due to the mischief of a group of spellcasters. Believe it or not, that's basically the whole story. If you can, check it out.

That's all for now folks. Later! ^_^
