In the cold gray light of dawn an eagle flies, And the men are happy wearing matching ties

Yes, it's a song.

After I saw my friend's flickr, I wanted one for three reasons.

1. Looks uber-cool.
2. Photobucket is blocked at school
3. Flickr isn't.

Um.

By the way, I have to do a project for my photography class.

Would anyone be willing to pose ridiculously with an egg for me?

Thanks.

Um.

Check out my story for a children's book.

Don't tell me it sucks, I know it does.

Chapter 1

A long time ago in a foreign land there was a wonderful kingdom full of happiness and adventure. There lived many happy citizens of the country, but there were three outstanding people. There was a great Archer, who was rumored to be able to hit a bird soaring in the sky without killing it. There was a powerful Swordsman, who could overpower a bear with one hand. Lastly, there lived a Magician who could cure any disease that existed. But there was a problem. In that kingdom, there lived a plague. And it couldn’t be killed, cured, or taken away. It was burdening the people of the land, and everyone suffered from it. Even the three Heroes were affected. Everyone became lethargic and tired. No one wanted to work or even do anything. They all just wanted to do nothing.

One gloomy morning, a mysterious cloaked man came to the nation, and proclaimed that a cure existed. However, it was a far distance from the kingdom, and it was guarded by many monsters that were fierce, fearsome, frightful, and worst of all, evil. So the Archer, Swordsman, and the Magician took off to find the cure, braving misery, unhappiness, and even death.

Chapter 2

Along the way, the Archer, the Magician, and the Swordsman faced a large evil dragon. It had blood red eyes and large black teeth. Its wings blocked out the sun, and its tail was thicker than a trunk of a tree. First the Swordsman tried to cut off its tail, but the scales on its body protected it.

Next, the Magician attempted to conjure a pillar of fire to obliterate it, but unfortunately the dragon just flew away and dodged it. Lastly, the Archer shot a single arrow into the dragon’s eye. It punctured the dragon’s eye, and the whole dragon popped and exploded like a balloon.

Next, they encountered a giant snake. It had 100 heads on one body, and it was as quick as lightning. First, the Magician tried to create a sandstorm to confuse it, but the snake wasn’t vulnerable. Then the Archer shot an arrow and killed one head, but there were still 99 more to go. Finally the Swordsman grabbed the whole snake, held the 99 heads together, and tied the whole thing into a massive knot. The snake, confused and tangled up, was helpless but to watch the three heroes continue on.

Then, they came upon an enormous bee hive. There were millions of bees inside, and each was as deadly as poison. The Swordsman tried to crush each one, but there were too many for him to use his skills. The Archer too, was bested by the sheer number of bees. However, the Magician cast a spell and the entire bee hive was covered with smoke. The bees couldn’t see the three heroes, and so they continued on to the final beast.

Chapter 3

The Final Beast was a terribly frightening. It was a beast shrouded in darkness and evil. In fact, the whole beast was a fog of darkness. It loomed over the landscape, and was so dark, it even dimmed their torches. The Swordsman tried to cut the mist, but to no effect. The Archer too, tried to shoot the fog, but to no effect as well. The magician was blinded by the darkness. The fog loomed and was impervious to all of the attacks by the heroes. The darkness made it impossible for the three heroes to find the cure.

Defeated, the heroes returned home. On the way back, they had an epiphany. They realized that they had already found the true cure. It was the adventure, the bravery and the friendship they found on the adventure. At home, they spread the word about their findings. Everyone lost their lethargy and became happy once again. The three heroes were revered by everyone, and everyone lived happily ever after.

Farewell, my fiends.
