Even though it's a false holidey, I'll say it. Everyone's already happy anyway. And besides, I don't seem to have as many watchers as I once did, that last journal obviously failed me hard. I guess that's what I get for being gone for so long. I always knew that once you don't keep in constant contact you "cease to exist." *shrug* But what can you do. Just saying I may not be on for almost a month. I'm going to go visit my mom for all of January. We're gonna watch anime all month long. I'll be getting my apartment when I come back up too. It'll be in town so I'll have Wi Fi. Awesome. I've also decided to buy and learn how to play a Violin so that's something else I have to look forward to. And sometime during summer I'll be going to Chicago and getting my teaching liscense. I hope to land a job in Japan and teach English.Oh, and Avatar was an amazing movie. I hope to be going to college next year so I can get my Movie Directing done too. Well, that's about it so far. Hope some of you are still watching me. Ja Ne!

So I was just browsing the site before work this morning and was noticing all of the different names people have chosen for their ID's. So I decided to post this journal so people can say what their name means or where they got it from. I know oldest question ever but it's also the easiest so just answer the damn thing. I guess I'll start off..

Soma= Soma was a metal said to last forever. It would never rust and would never lose its shape. Soma is also the Greek word for body, soul, spirit. Which to the Greeks the body contained the soul which was said to last forever and never die. Even when the body was gone the soul would keep on fighting. Soma was also the name for a potion that all of the ancient Alchemists knew and secured. A potion that was said to let someone live forever. This potion was also labeled 13.

13= My favorite number because it is the most misunderstood and has the largest history behind it. As mentioned, 13 was the number used for the Soma potion. A kind of Fountain of Youth in a beaker. The Alchemists knew that humanity would misuse this potion for evil, corruption, and power, therefore they hid its secret away. They were the ones who came up with the number 13 being evil. They figured if everyone thought it were evil, no one would want it. They would fear it. They indeed did fear it. For on one October, Friday the 13th, the Crusaders led a campaign against the Alchemists thinking that since they had control over such evil, they would use it against humanity. They did this on the 13th thinking it a good omen of them cancelling each other out. The moon was red that night most say. Thus, 13 became known to history as the "unlucky" number.

My PC's name is Soma-13.

This thing is like a Wolf
This thing is a Wolf
Thus, it is a thing to be banished.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who hadn’t seen her mother in seven years. She was forced to dress in iron clothes and was told, “When you wear out those clothes, you can go back to your mother.”
The girl rubbed her clothes on the wall trying desperately to tear them. When they had finally been torn she got some milk and bread as well as a little cheese and butter and set out for her mother’s house.

In the woods she met a Wolf who asked her what she was carrying.
“Milk and Bread and a little cheese and butter,” she answered.
When the Wolf asked for some the girl said no, saying it was a present for her mother.
The Wolf asked whether she’d be taking the path of pins or the path of needles. When the girl said she was going to take the path of pins the Wolf hurried down the path of needles and ate up the little girl’s mother.

The girl finally reached her mother’s house.
“Mother, open the door,” she said.
“ Push on the door. It’s not locked.” Answered the Wolf.
But the door still wouldn’t open. So the girl crept in through a hole into the house.
“I’m very hungry, mother,” she said.
“Have some meat in the cupboard,” answered the Wolf.
It was the flesh of her mother killed by the Wolf. A big cat jumped up onto the cupboard and said “That’s your mother’s flesh you’re eating.”
“Mother, there’s a cat on the cupboard and it’s saying that I’m eating your flesh.”
“That’s a lie of course. Throw a shoe at the cat.”
The little girl, having eaten the meat, was thirsty.
“Mother, I’m thirsty,” she said.
“Drink some wine from the pot,” answered the Wolf.
When she did, a little bird came flying and perched onto the chimney stack.
“That’s your mother’s blood you’re drinking. You’re drinking your mother’s blood,” it said.
“Mother, there’s a bird perched on the chimney stack and it’s saying that I’m drinking your blood.”
“Throw your cloak at the bird.”
Having eaten the meat and drank the blood the little girl turned to her mother and said, “Mother, I’m feeling very sleepy.”
“Come over here and get some rest.”
The girl undressed and approached the bed where her mother lay in a strange position with a hood over her face.
“Mother, what big ears you have,” she said.
“All the better to hear you with, my dear.”
“Mother what big eyes you have.”
“All the better to see you with, my dear.”
“Mother what big claws you have.”
“All the better to hold you with, my dear.”
“Mother what big teeth you have.”

And then the Wolf ate up Little Red Riding Hood.
