I was bored today and was looking around on the interweb and all the old things I used to do (Note to V: Like DRAC, totally the first person to post there in like...a year) and then I got to missing the old days, and since I very well can't re-start the things that once were but that are no longer I did the next best thing! I replaced them! lol

I'm done. HP is over. Some points were a bit iffy for me, and at first I thought she was going to continue with the precident she started with OotP. But she totally didn't. It was awesome. Epilogue was kinda shitty...and Haley...Last page won't tell you ANYTHING. Not really.

A Bientot

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Wow.

Five and a half years yesterday. How I remember that I don’t know. First RPG, first time I wrote creatively. First time I was ever bad at something not concerning the piano or girls (which ended up working out anyways! :-P). I just…I can’t get my head around it. I think my recent heart sickness about it…my longing for the in depth Role-play about it. I never got my head around all the commands but I don’t care. That’s not what it was for. I still remember pissing of SG and the other person attempting to help me…god knows I was a horrible brat, about everything. I just, I didn’t understand anything.

I know this seems random to everyone save one of my Friends here…but I felt I had to write it. After scrolling through my old logs and all that…I couldn’t believe the change my writing had undergone. If only they all could see Galuial the Noldo on Beleriand, half page history (and he’s young and I was extremely vague). Quarter page desc that wasn’t completely pointless and pompous. It’s the first time I haven’t been some sort of a crafter…be it food (my brief alt in Lorien) or Galuial/Galagad the good ol’Silversmith. The Noldo suite me. Even if the kinslaying doesn’t work out so well for me. I think by the end of this I’ll be crying.

I can’t honestly say I don’t and won’t miss it. But, I will not be back. I can’t go back. I’m an oldbie in a newbie’s skin. I’ve been around longer than Ama and Tuil. I remember how they GOT their alias’ for god’s sakes. And those characters are as long dead as Galagad it seems. I miss my friends there. And it seems like V is the only person to remember me anyways, well the only one around. Which is probably for the best. Here is my good bye to them. To Chaelei, Naurelin, Ilwin, Ama, Tuil. All of’em. We all arrived in Middle-Earth around the same time. There was another…Ama’s love interest but I cannot recall his name. I recall my first combat RPG with Tuil, saving his elf ass. I remember Galagad’s love of Naurelin, and the subsequent creation of a Dragon for that, and the creation of Galuial after. I remember Chaelei’s disappearance. Ilwin I think came after now that I look back…yeah, she was only around for Galuial, and my Tolkien-purism phase. Naurelin became disenfranchised with the entire culture and left. Ama went on to become the ruler and then (from what I’ve seen) is not anymore. Tuil has been an LA for a while now. He actually recently cultured me, I found that weird. I could have done with SG, Day, V, Ting, Rhun, and GG, but the people I was a newbie with? It was just too weird.

And basically the only reason I reconnected was to get one of my old friends back, as it is, she’s the only one that will understand this journal entry (since I succeeded in my plan, though it happened through the sheer vanity of me google-ing “Galuial”) And to find out she’s all but quit is interesting. I couldn’t be there after that really, I don’t know why. I couldn’t start over from scratch. It’s too weird. I mean I was a shitty member but I figured I’d proved my worth by the end of it. And I wouldn’t even be doing this if it wasn’t for the sheer fact that I stumbled across all the old stuff. I just…I can’t do it. I can deal with Beleriand, I enjoy it there, it’s calm, nobody knows me cause I think I rp-ed on there like twice (it tends to be dead in certain cultures). And it isn’t standing still, not really.

I guess what I’m trying to say, I love you all, every last person in Elendor for making me not be a stupid little brat, and learn. I learned a lot from you all. And who knows…I may still come back someday. But as it is. I will not be back soon, it’s just too weird for me and I haven’t the heart to deal with it. (And I called it...I'm pretty much crying at this point. Always was a bit too elfin for my own good)

This isn’t a good bye…just a see ya later…who knows what the future holds.

Love,
Galagad, Galuial, and Roswen.

((as I said this makes little sense...but well...I needed to let it out.))

Galuial says, "So...which son of Feanor would like a song written about them (I'm bored...and have nothing better to do but develop Galuial's style)?"
Celegorm says, "Oh, well...they all like to be flattered and feted. ;)"
Galuial laughs, "I know I should probably suck the most up to Amras (ICly) the problem is I just am not sure of him since so little was written about him, (apperantly Tolkien aimed to have him written off earlier so...little was actually put down)
Amras mumbles something about Tolkien not writing much on Amras.
Celegorm pats.
Galuial says, "Well, you could have burned burned alive on the ships?"
Celegorm says, "Just be glad the bit about him getting burnt to a crisp didn't make it into canon. ;)"
Celegorm nods, "Yup. What Gal said." :P
Amras says, "Yes, I am most glad about that."
Galuial says, "Though I could have written a wonderful lament about him then."
Celegorm hmms. "You do have a point."
Celegorm says, "Maybe he writes a song about 'What if". Or maybe "What I wish had happened". ;)"
Galuial laughs. "Perhaps I'll write a lament on the lost High-Kings?"
Celegorm says, "At the risk of depressing us all, sure. ;P"
Galuial says, "Well, I figured it whip'em all up in a Morgoth hating frenzy?"
Celegorm hms. "You know what happens when we get whipped into a frenzy. We...uh...tend to misdirect our anger. Usually at our poor brethren." ;P
Galuial says, "Yes, that may be a bad course of action...but no one has one of the jewels...except Morgoth"
Celegorm says, "The Teleri didn't have the Sils either... ;P"
Galuial says, "Yeah...but the other two times (granted they haven't happened...yet)"
Galuial ponders and laughs. "I could so totally point out the obvious Slash under-tones of Maedhros' and Fingon's relationship."
Celegorm laughs and reminds that the Sons are not historically against kinslaying. :P
Galuial says, "and poor Galuial is part Telerin. That may not go over so well."

~written Sunday~

So I’ve gotten sick which is probably the most annoying thing ever cause this is my day off and like I planned on using today to finish homework do research for my classes and wander the city since a lot of the tourists will be on the Champs for the end of the Tour de France which an American very well might win so it’s nice and cool for us here though the French are probably still hurting from the World Cup Final…I don’t know. They might be mad that they can’t seem to win their traditional sports who knows?

I went to three Loire valley Chateaux Saturday which was day…fourteen. They were really pretty and all that yeah. But I went to Versailles the weekend before so it was kinda like “Wow…that’s cool…I guess…” if only because Versailles is the most amazing palace in the world let alone France.

Friday was…dancing again…only the music was meh and I really don’t know swing or salsa unfortunately. And I didn’t have an interest in anyone that was there so I wasn’t going to put on a show for nothing…and after the dancing these stupid annoying French guys tried to like molest the girls and they were rather vulgar and disgusting. I mean it’s a rather common thing in France for the dregs of society to verbally harass the girls. I mean I’ve been turned into a bodyguard for the girls cause the guys don’t usually try anything around the guys (well the guys that look like they are in decent shape) unfortunately this time it was a rather large group and one of the guys was huge (like fat) so much so that two of me could probably fit in him. One of the SAs (councilors) who is a girl kept smacking their hands away when they tried to touch the girls and snarled French to them. I understood parts like “Do not touch” and “I will call the police who are just over there” which was true there were like four cop cars and like all those guys looked like illegal immigrants. Then later that night different guys went into the back courtyard and started yelling vulgarieties to the girls so my room mates and I decided to throw full water bottles at them. Which was funny since they all scattered. It’s become a floor wide thing. The girls on the first floor want us to stop because the guys might try to throw things back…so that’ll be interesting. But the guys should know it’s the top floors for the distance we were getting then again they are French.

Well talk to you all later…some time in the next couple days I’d say.

Paris 1-12

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Wow is all I can really say. I’ve been in France, specifically Paris, for 12 days now. And that is amazing to me. I realize 12 days is so much stuff that I can do. But I am of course lazy and having way too much fun around here in the city of my dreams. It’s amusing to think of how much fun I have seeing buildings I have wanted to see for like…ever. I wish there were certain people here with me…I know they’d either appreciate it the same way I do. Or would just feed off of my emotions about the subject. All in all I’d have a lot more fun.

And staying in a place closer to the center of Paris would be nice. I mean my hotel room isn’t too bad...my biggest complaint would have to be the fact that there is no air conditioning…at all…which is of course the norm for France I know…but the fact that Europe is receiving another…lesser heat wave…nothing like AZ so don’t worry about me too much in that case I’ve nearly been dehydrated once considering how much walking goes on. Speaking of walking France has definitely had an effect on my body. I’ve lost a bit of weight because all people do is walk sure you have the metro but that doesn’t get you everywhere like you have to go at least half a mile from the Invalides station to get to the Eiffel tower…which is awesome by the way. It might not be the tallest building in the world anymore but France definitely made the right decision in not tearing it down. However geometric it may be it is beautiful and fits perfectly with the feel of Paris.

Speaking of the feel I have never seen a big city that is so relaxed. The feel of the city is just relaxed you feel like there is nothing that could happen I mean sure the World Cup final was crazy as was Bastille Day (not as much amusingly enough) and Graffiti is way too common place in the outskirts of the city for my tastes. But even those have their own odd form of art within it. Though I still find it disgusting.

I’ve seen so much and have a lot of pictures that can answer questions. Give me lists and I’ll upload those first and explain things about the areas/businesses. It’s just so hard to tell you all what’s happened. I do miss home but I’m so glad I’m out here…the plane ride was so worth it! Drop me a line if you want to know any little fun details!


Love y’all

P.S. You guys should get phone cards and call me cause I’m not sure what charges I get for what anymore…but all I know is phone cards work wonders for calling the hotel…

So I've been in CA for a week woo...granted I got sunburnt to death (although for some reason I only started peeling yesterday...dunno how...and I stepped on not one but two stingrays...and surprisingly I was never in what I would call a bad mood...sure my little cousin was way too hard to deal with at times (the kid never shuts up and acts like he's 7)

I think part of the happiness has to do with the World Cup where France's team is in the finals vs Italy and I'll be in France for the actual World Cup final...

Another not on the France thing...I like leave in...18 hour. Which is scary but at the same time SO exciting...I promise to try and update frequently though

See ya in Paris ;-)
