I've been hijacked! Don't worry, that won't happen again. (today)
Anyway, so that was exciting. I've been sick lately, so I didn't have much to say on my own. Thanks Jackie for the added content. Btw, I think it's no small coincidence that those two little bits of random heaven were posts numbers 419 and 420 on my blog.
Spoooky.

Hi! I'm Jackie, Greg's girlfriend. He trusted me enough to give me his password... (Even though he didn't know it himself, and I kind of had to push him to let me know it...). So yes, I'm commandeering the blog, so you’re all underneath my control and the power of words right now. See, by doing this, I’m controlling your mind. Ooo… Ahh… Yes, amazing… -dances- I feel so special… I wonder how many people are going to read this and be like… “Greg, chu are going out with a freak” while I’ll be like… OMGWTFYAY!!!!

Random Music Bugs Me
Not that I have anything against your personal music tastes. Far from it, it's fine. I just hate going to peoples web sites, be they My Spaces, Xangas, Journals of whatever variety, or whatever else you're using to construct a website, and having a random song pop up and blare outta my speakers. Rawr. It's just annoying. I mean, I'm usually listening to something else. I appriciate that you want me to listen to your music, but I should get to choose when it starts, and when it finishes.
I just went to one Xanga and found no visible controls for the song. That was frustrating. All I could do was either mute my computer (and not listen to anything) or leave (what I did). Sigh. The problem gets even worse thanks to tabbed browsing. I'll often go onto MySpace outta bordem and open up three pages at once, so I end up with 3 songs (or more, because some people decide to link 2 or 3 videos at once, which just adds to the problem more.
You don't see any random music players on MY websites, do you? Lyrics maybe, but not actual music. Speaking of which...

No matter what the timeIt works better in japanese, but I'd always wondered what "Hikari" was when literaly translated. It's very different from "Simple and Clean", which is interesting.
I`m just alone
Destiny forgotten,
Even though I kept going.
Inside of the sudden light I awaken
In the middle of the night
Quietly,
Stand in the exit way,
And, in the pitch-black, take the light
And about the recent promises,
Is it just that I`m so anxious?
A wish that`s wanting to be said, but shall be repressed
I`ll introduce my family,
You`ll surely get along well
No matter what the time
We'll always be together
No matter what the time
Because you`re by my side
The light known as "you" finds me,
In the middle of the night
Enter a noisy street
And put on the mask of destiny.
Thinking too much about the future.
Stopping things that have no meaning.
Today I`ll eat delicious things.
The future is always before us,
Even I don`t know it.
It`s not necessary to go right to the end,
Just keep going.
It`s okay if the scenes
Go on one by one.
The light known as "you"
reflects my scenario
Let`s talk more,
And about the tomorrow that`s before your very eyes.
Turn off the television,
And look only at me.
No matter how well we`re doing,
I don`t believe in us completely.
But at those sort of times,
Because you`re by my side,
The light known as "you" finds me,
In the middle of the night.
Let`s talk more,
And about the tomorrow that`s before your very eyes.
Turn off the television,
And look only at me.

Beautiful
Heh, I thought that it ate my last post. I'm so glad it didn't. Anyway, I'd like to dedicate this to all the beautiful people in my life, even the ones who won't admit it.
Every day is so wonderfulAnd yeah, I guess it includes me, too. *Shrugs.*
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Ever See Galaxy Quest?
I'm having something of an off day/week/year/lifetime. *Shrugs.* Anyway, a few bright notes on the horizon.
I told you about how I came in second at the tournament last night. It was confusing. I drafteda pretty mediocre deck. No enchantment removal, which was a bit of a mistake. X_X. But yeah, it was a double elemination tournament, which was fun. I ended up going nearly undefeated, except to one loss to a guy named Paul (who, nicely enough, also volunteered to be my ride, since he drives by campus every week). Someone else went completely undefeated, and left before I got to play him with the first place title, which doesn't quite seem fair, but whatever. I probably would have died if I'd played him anyway.
So I ended up in a match against Paul for 2nd place and the amazing prize of a booster pack (first prize was also a booster, which is kinda lame). I won first game with a fast hand and other exciting stuff, and the second game just got confusing. After a slow start to mana problems, I eventually managed to play a couple of Seige Wurms and start an offensive, but not before the ground got locked into a creature stall, with Paul controlling the only flyer. Eventually, I launched a last ditch alpha strike with both Wurms and a Watchwolf. I figured it was over, and I might as well see what I could do. He ended up playing Rally the Righteous, for some reason, so that it effected ALL the creatures on the field. It really just confused things. I had an active, though not attacking, Selesnaya(sp) guildmage to pump my things up a little more, though not enough for them to survive. He ended up conceding out of confusion, which just goes to further my point. Never give up. Never surrender.
I've played games of Starcraft where I thought I was on the losing end of an undending tide. It almost always seems like that. No matter how many units I through at him, he's always got enough to push me back. But I really don't like giving up unless he's in my base and I've got nothing to stop him. Of course, not everyone is like that. Like the one guy who apparently was in the same situation as me, and decided to concede to me. That was fun. ^_^ Anyway, yeah, don't call it quits till the fat lady sings.
Anyway, tonight I saw the Boondocks. I was impressed, really. I hope it doesn't make me a racist or something because I laugh at a black show. U_U Anyway, it's really funny, I'd reccommend watching it if you get a chance.

Absolutely No Wishing For More Wishes
So James put up a wish list. Now I guess I need to pick out something to get him for Christmas. The computer is too expensive for me to give him. I've got a personal vendetta against giving items of clothing, including jackets. Razors are even worse, I hate giving toiletries. The last one I'd be curious to see given, but I don't think I'll be the one to give it to him. Sounds like I'll either get him one of many Batman Begin's DVD's, or go with PJ and Dan on Soul Calibur III. Whee limited options! Or maybe I'll find something that just screams "James" at me (like a Pussy Galore pullstring doll).
To answer the question posed in his journal, people (I assume you were looking at my blog, but I may just be egotistical) don't put things on wishlists that they really "Need", just things they'd like to have, aka "Wishes." If I needed the things, I would a) call it a needlist or something, and b) probably not be able to wait till the end of the year. And lets face it, when you know that there's a lot of people who need to get you gifts, wouldn't you rather they got you something you'd like than just have them gessing randomly?

I Am BatMan!!
W00t.
Also, it turns out Magic cards are bad gifts for me, since I won't really treasure them as unique gifts or whatever. I suck at the secondary market.
But I DID place second in the 9 man draft tonight. Is that worth something?

Just wanted to put this link up before I closed the window. I agree, it's sad that the most innovative and spectacular games on the market are so violent and trashy.

RAINBOW POWER
No, this doesn't have anything to do with homosexuality.
I was reading this week's Saturday School on MagicTheGathering.Com and saw this question:
I was reading this week's Saturday School on MagicTheGathering.Com and saw this question:
Q: Is it possible to have five colors in one deck? --FaisalI'm thinking, "Possible? Yes. Advisable? Not really." So anyway, I went on to thinking about the few 5 color cards that have been made. Atog-Atog. Chromium. Karona, False God. Even the ever popular Last Stand. The one that always stood out in my brain though, is Coalition Victory. Basically, if you're supporting the full rainbow, you win. Getting a land of every type into play was a bit tricky, though. Now of course, we have the Ravnica block dual lands, which have two basic-land types each. Suck it, shakey mana base! Throw in some Farseeks and Wood Elves for land fetching, and then some big multicolored creatures for fun... I have a couple of Atog-Atog's, so I could go with that, and then a full compliment of little togs too for fun. I'll chew on this idea for a while, but yeah, it looks like fun. Yay Domain Deck!!!
A: Absolutely. Some formats, such as Prismatic and Rainbow Stairwell on Magic Online as well as 5-Color in the world of paper Magic require players to have all five colors.
All I Want For Christmas
Asking for Christmas and birthday presents is getting hard. I don't wanna ask for anime, because I don't want my family to think I'm a Japan-o-phile pervert. I mean, just cuz I AM is no reason for them to know. I asked for cash mostly on my birthday, but I know that a lot of them will still want to get me presents, and on Christmas, well, Santa Claus doesn't carry cash. So, without further ado, my Christmas / Birthday Wish List.

The Lonliest Toy
My cousin Clara is turning 3 this month. For her birthday, instead of BUYING her a present, I wrote her a story, that Jackie offered to illustrate for me. I also told a friend in England that she could illustrate it and give that version to some kids in a nusery across the street from her. I'll post the full thing up here after her birthday, but for now, all I've got is the text. Enjoy:
The Loneliest Toy by Gregory T LeVineOkay, enough reminicing about pre-school (stupid yogurt x_x), I should get to work on my English essay.
At Oakengates Nursery, there was a toy bin filled with all sorts of marvelous and wonderful toys for the boys and girls to play with. Each year, the teachers would bring in more new toys to put in the bin. And each day, during playtime, the kids ran to the bin to get their favorite toys. There were bouncing balls and baby dolls and picture books and cops and crooks. There were heroes and robots and toy pans and pots. All the kids loved all the toys and had lots of fun playing with them.
But at the bottom of the bin there was one toy who hadn't been picked out in a long time. He was an old toy robot. His metal was heavier than the newer plastic robots. His batteries had gone dead, and his skin had begun to rust. His speaker had stopped speaking, and his arms and legs no longer moved. He was the first toy that had been put into the bin, and he watched as all the other toys were picked before him. He was always left alone in the bottom of bin.
One day, new boy joined the class. His name was Kevin, and he had just moved into town. He didn't know anyone in the class, and was very lonely all morning. When the teachers announced that it was playtime, all the kids ran straight to the toy bin except for Kevin, who didn't know where it was. By the time it was Kevin's turn to pick out a toy, the only toy left was the old robot. Kevin had never seen a robot quite like it. He ended up sitting by himself playing with the robot.
One of the other boys in the class, Trevor, had picked out a Lizard Monster from the bin. When he saw Kevin playing with the robot by himself, he got an idea. He went over to Kevin and said “Hi. My name's Trevor. Can my Lizard Monster fight your Robot?” “Sure Trevor,” Kevin smiled. “I'm Kevin.” The two started playing, and eventually all the other kids wanted to see the robot fighting the lizard. Most of them had never actually seen the robot out of the box before. They all got close and wanted to meet Kevin and his cool robot.
After that, Kevin was friends with all the other kids in his class. And later, after all the kids had gone home, one of the teachers pulled the robot out of the bin to clean up. The next day at playtime, when the kids first opened the bin, they found the robot sitting on top of all the other toys. Its metal was shining again, and its joints all moved like new. Fresh batteries had been put inside that made its lights light and its speakers speak. All the kids agreed that Kevin should get to play with the robot again, and after that day, neither Kevin nor the robot were lonely again.
Dissapointing Dreams
I had the weirdest dream last night. I was in a Wal-Mart or something with my family, and there was some sort of contest or something. By the freezer section, some sign said "If you can get a sponge to get frozen to the metal part at the bottom of the door, you'll win a prize." Sounded easy enoguh. So I put a sponge over the cold bar thing and began pouring water over it till it was frozen there. Or at least, the bottom layer was. So I went to talk to someone in charge and sure enough, I'd won the prize! A $1,000 gift certificate to Toys'R'Us. I didn't have a change to spend it all then, but oh well, I had money for toys and video games. I was happy. So we went back to our hotel/ dining hall / pool and celebrated. Whee.
It was about now that I was starting to wake up, and I started getting upset because somewhere in the back of my mind I knew it wasn't real. I fought with all I could to stay asleep and get the stuff, but even the dream was fighting against me. I was too old to get the $1,000. U_U
I woke up really kinda sad, which doesn't even make sense. I wanted that DS.

It's A Bird! Who Cares?
This song showed up on Drawn Together, and I got an urge to listen to it, and then I realize I don't have it, so I decided to look up the lyrics. Enjoy.
Speaking of Clark Kent, what's up with all the alliterative superhero secret identities?
Clark Kent ------- Superman
Matt Murdock --- Daredevil
Peter Parker ---- Spiderman
Bruce Banner --- The Hulk
Wally West ------ The Flash
Reed Richards -- Mr. Fantastic
Sue Storm ------- Invisible Woman
J'onn J'onzz ------ The Martian Manhunter
I'm sure there are more, but you get the point. Also, what's with this disturbing trend?
Lana Lang -- Clark Kent's girlfriend youthful in Smallville
Lois Lane -- Clark Kent/Superman's girlfriend/wife
Lex Luthor - ??????????????????
It may just be a coincidence, but in the Teen Titan's comic book, Superboy is a human/Kryptonian hybrid clone combining the DNA of Superman and Luthor. O_O!
Oh yeah, and then there was this thing that came to me while watching Daredevil today:
I can’t stand to flyAnd then I got the weirdest thought... Whenever Superman shows up, you always see people shouting. "Look! Up in the sky!" "It's a bird!" "No, it's a plane!" "No! It's Superman!" Or something like that. What's up with the idiots shitting their pants over birds and planes? "Oh no, Lex Luthor has some sort of doomsday device! But don't worry, we'll be saved by that bird!" I suppose Metropolis really was hard up for help before Clark Kent moved in.
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me
I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see
It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me
Up, up and away...away from me
It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...
I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me
I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
I’m only a man
Looking for a dream
I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...
Its not easy to be me

Me (to Matt Hill): So, she's retarded?
