The story of a Hopes.

Easter 2005, Photo Album!

Entering the Egg Hunt dream, to celebrate Easter. I simply had to hunt down all the eggs!

This is me hunting down some eggs!

Hmm. I swear I saw an egg somewhere around here! :/

Hunting eggs make you hungry! Lucky that they have cakes around the place. ;p

Oi. After that big feed, I felt like relaxing at the edge of a pond. Better watch out that Abbi doesn't push me in! She's looking might fishy. :o

Sorting the eggs that have been found, Abbi looks ready to eat them!

Hmm. Better keep an eye on that white kitty!

Dragging my good friend Oryon down to help!

Aww. How sweet! Others were bringing eggs down to us, too! ♥

Taking a break from the hunt, I stop and sit down in front of a statue of Jujinka!

Hmm. I wouldn't trust this kitty to tell me my fortune. x)

Oh no! Oryon has started to put the eggs in a pile! She'll win if we don't beat her! :(

Ha! With the help of Abbi, we beat her! It was a close call, though. Don't I just look cute as a bunny!?

Don't feel to bad, Oryon! Here, have an Easter egg! ^_^!

Wow. That was a tiring experience! Here is Abbi and I laying on the side of the bridge, catching our breath.

I can't wait until the Spring Festival starts up..!

You know, I got this sudden need to be organised. o.o;;;

I just finished cleaning up my email accounts, and MSN list. ._.;;

I had almost 2,000 emails in my yahoo account. I deleted around 1,500. The rest I put in folders to keep. Now I have 23 folders. ._.;;

I cleaned up hotmail, unsuscribed from lists -- god know why I joined them -- such as animationfactory.com, Animal rescue site thing, and a number of others. ._.;;;

Msn I deleted around 50 contacts that I (a) never talk to, and (b) never come on.

So... that leaves me with around 50 contacts left. o.o;;

I'm about to move to Furc, with Mreow's online list -- going to organise, and add people and put a group in their description thing that Mreow has. o.o;;

Fun, fun.

[E] Felorin: Tied with Indigo Nightfall for First Place, winning a Stupendymous Giftpack is... Tendilea Village By: Hopes-Star Light! This dream has a nice quest in it, but I have to admit the thing we had to go back to see again (and bring Talzhemir in to watch) was the hilarious "12 Days of Christmas" show. Felorin sez check it out!
You say, "o.o"
Emerald|Flame: I loved Tendilea...I had to go back several times to play the 12 days of christmas! #SA
[E] Felorin: Congrats, Hopes! That just leaves our Grand Prize winner for the Masters category. And... Ooops wait, there's one more First Place winner! #SA

Mhmm. I'm still shocked.

The Jurassic Park of Politics

By: Joshua Anderson.

Rushing down the hallway, as quick as can be -- Though, it really is two steps a minute. It's all ol' Johnny's fault, I say! Does not give one ounce of concern about us old people, that he just runs on over, shakes our hands, and is off again! Doesn't stop to say sorry after he's knocked us all off of our wheelchairs, or even bother to say 'Hi' after he rushes past the nurses. All this rushing about, it's making me dizzy! Rushing here, rushing there, rushing to give that baby a kiss, and then back to the press to proclaim his love of children. At his age, I at least stopped once in awhile, to look at the people I talked to. But, that would take too much time to care about those 'Little people'. Even though, most of the population happens to be a good bit taller than him.

Anyway, I bet you're wondering how my speed is all Johnny's fault, eh? Well, it all started like this... Sorry, but I seem to have forgotten where I placed that other half of my brain. Won't be a moment!

Ah yes, here it is. Beside those teeth I found in the hallway; they'll come in handy one day.

Now, where were we? That's right! It was a dark and stormy night... Oh, whoops. Wrong story!

It was the hour after the election results were announced, and everyone in the home was partying -- Not because of who won, but due to the fact that we wouldn't be bothered with all that propaganda for another four years! Cracking open that bottle of cough syrup, and passing it around between us all, we danced the night away. Half way through, we were even joined by some nice men in white suits! So much fun, I say.

Being that daring fella I am, I decided to do a bit of break dancing on our piano top; last time I'll do that! I had that many people join in: The nurses, those nice men in white suits, and even the doctors! Such a wonderful time it was, but then, due to my drunken stupor induced by cough syrup, slipped off the top of the piano. Everyone must have liked it, because I brought the entire house down!

So, here I am, walking around with a walking frame. You know. With all these politicians rushing around, someone should go and knock them off a piano top, or at least tell them that if they want to get their million dollars plus annual salary, they must start using walking frames.

It would slow them down, and be oh-so-much more safer for us 'little people', and not having to watch out for all their rushing around, jumping out of their way when they came around. For those mothers that don't want their babies kissed, then they can quickly run into the house and lock up when they hear that tip-tap, tip-tap of their walking frames coming ever closer.

Now that I mention it, that kind of sounds like that T-Rex on Jurassic Park. Except, that was more of a BOOM BOOM, but still, the same idea is there. Tyrannosaurs Rex's hunt for food, and are predators. Politicians hunt for votes... and are predators. So, are Tyrannosaurs Rex's and Politicians one in the same? Probably. Especially good ol' Johnny -- He certainly looks like he came from the Jurassic period.

So, once again the big bad -- and ugly -- dinosaurs are back to take over our world, squishing out us little people in favour of their salary. Say good bye to all that we once knew, and treasured. Goodbye Freedom. Goodbye, Sanity. Goodbye to all those other good retail stores that share their names with something that might be an American name. Hello, America!

Didn't you know that Australia is really just another state of America; or so they think? Good ol' George W. Bush got onto our ol' Johnny telling him that he is now in control of the world, and the we all must bow down to him! Johnny, of cause believed him -- Silly fool -- and in private, declared Australia a state of America. Don't you wonder where all these Americans are coming from, and why there are so many American companies here? Johnny being from the Jurassic age and all, forgot to tell us of this new development due to the fact that he was rushing around to all those babies -- Those walking frames are starting to look real good now, aren't they.

So, while we are under the leadership of Johnny Howard, or as Mr Bush thinks; himself, we will find these next fours years, very interesting indeed. What, with all these dinosaurs rushing around on walking frames. How could it not be interesting?

Oh, look. The men in white suits are here to take me for a little ride. Until next time!
