Right now, I am wishing that I hadn't run out of alavert several weeks ago...the dust that's in the air from me moving around my things as I pack up to go home for the summer is ruining my health terribly right now.
It's like a sudden cold that only expresses symptoms when I am in my room. And it's not fun at all...and I haven't even gotten all of the cables unplugged and rolled up and packed up yet either (trying to wait until the last minute with the ones still plugged in, since I would like to maintain a connection to the internet and watch TV still while I pack up everything else).

[i]A poem I wrote for my story [url=http://www.menewsha.com/forum/blogs/broken-spirit/]"Heart's Own"[/url], may or may not be included in the final draft, though.[/i]

Two teens in an ice-cold forest,
Taken away from the world they knew by cruel fate.
Helpless in the face of the very evil they must defeat,
Despair clouds their hearts with a hopeless fear,
As they remembered how they came to be in the forests of Atamante.

Allison Kantel, daughter of gomari fighters,
Time can not hide from the all-seeing eyes of her soul.
Entangled in the weaving of this epic
By her love for a boy,
Her heart belongs completely to him.
She loves him with a love so strong,
Nothing can break their bond.

Cody Alvari, son of a long dead king,
Sought by the Brethren in their desire to create their Utopia.
The power of Alistair's ancient royality runs untapped within him,
A power that was given to his ancestors by the Creator to protect the Sacred Generator.

Esterell and Bentharin, in the guise of aged humans,
Defied the Brethren's power by living in the city of Manah,
As they kept watch over the two mortals destined to restore balance to the world
In their quest to find the Sacred Generator
And keep it out of the hands of the Brethren.

A sacred relic said to have been used by the Creator in the creation of the world,
With the key, anyone can use it to recreate the world in their image.
Both key and relic were lost to lesser beings when the Brethren came to power,
Taken to a safe, secret place by a powerful Immortal.

Deep in the heart of an ancient glacier,
The mysterious Obani dwells,
Waiting for the true rulers of Alistair to come
And claim their places in the pages of history...

Edited my friends list, removing those whose names I didn't recognize. Also doing the same for my mule, Broken Spirit.
Hopefully, I don't hurt anyone's feelings....
