YUP- Atset Kcuhc!

The mysterious necromancer of Ojai Valley, Atset Kcuhc has been spotted again. Armed with dark necromancer skills, a defibrillator, and connections with the black market, he has discovered a way to restore life to once-stuffed creatures.

He is rumored to travel around in a john deer tractor, bringing his horde of restored animals with him and parking to sleep in random fields.

We have reason to believe that he attempts to keep Chuck Testa's business afloat using questionably legal methods. Just last month, Chuck opened his door to find a small bag of dead animals (which seemed to have been killed by a  large vehicle) and this note:

"Why he wrote that baffles me." Comments Chuck. "He left it ON the porch."
Why does he want to keep Chuck's business afloat? We have reason to suspect that he resurrects our local taxidermist's stuffed animals on a regular basis. Chuck has complained that Atset Kcuhc busts into his workshop about once a week, raids his collection of already stuffed animals, and leaves the stuffing littered everywhere. After several of these raids, Chuck installed a security camera in his workshop. The next week, he captured footage of the necromancer removing the stuffing from a large bear, shoving a metal skeleton up inside, adding organs, and then using a defibrillator on it. After a few waves of current, and to Chuck's immense horror and shock, the bear rolled over, stood, and followed Atset outside. Before he could share the video, he came home to find it lying crushed upon his kitchen floor with muddy hoof-prints leading away.
Chuck described Atset as being 'tall, with shaggy dark hair, a top hat, long striped sleeves and bell bottom pants, and a long black tailcoat.' He says that he couldn't see his face.

The big question is, what are Atset Kcuhc's motives? Is he just fond of restored animals? Or is something far more sinister at play?

My Bathroom Is Haunted pt2

Just a few days after the Psycho incident, I turned on the lower taps in the shower's wall and my ears were assailed by screams. I turned them off. "Well, that was weird." I thought simply.
I turned them on again. The wailing swelled again and seemed to be caused by the hot water knob, although the screaming came from the walls. If I turned it up, the pitch and loudness went up with it. I got out, dressed, and asked my Mom why the taps were screaming. She said that the hot water knob had been loose, so Alena tightened it. And now it made weird noises.
"That's fantastic." I thought, getting back in. After some finnigling, I found that if I adjusted the shower head's settings, it didn't wail for a while. Then it would start rising from the walls again until I rested my hand on the knob. Unfortunately, the shower head is weird and stays cold unless you periodically let out water from the lower taps. And even then, it turned cold every few seconds until you let out water from the lower taps. This, as well as adjusting the cold knob, made it scream.
So for the first half of my shower, I had to stand in cold water and occasional wails. After a while though, I gave up and just used the lower taps, ignoring the walls that were screaming bloody murder around me.

Somehow, Alena fixed it, and the shower no longer screams very much.
I'm still looking out for when it starts to drizzle blood.

PS! I just realized that the term 'taps' is incorrect, as there is one tap. However, I like the plural term much better, and so I will keep it.

My Bathroom Is Haunted pt1

Just bear with me, alright?
Okay. A couple of weeks ago, I was in the shower. I was just about to get out when I saw a huge person-shaped shadow move across the shower curtain. It was dark and distinct, so it had to be almost against the curtain. My heart pounded like crazy and I had no weapons or armor inside the shower. Psycho went whirling around my head as I just stood there motionless. I didn't want to die in the shower! I was wet, naked, and held nothing but sheer terror! I planned on dying at the hands of an evil sorcerer with my boots on and a sword in my hand. This was just a disgrace.
In those few seconds, the person-shaped shadow moved toward the end of the curtain and vanished. Just like that.
After a moment of standing there quietly, I recovered my wits. "Woah, Mom! You scared me. Psycho was going through my head..." I called out in a shaky voice. There was no answer. I opened the shower curtain and stuck my head out. There was no one there. The door was closed.
I should probably add that it was an extremely small bathroom with no windows and a very loud door.
I flipped my lid and dressed as fast as I could. I ran out and asked my Mom and my sister if they had come in. They hadn't.
I realized that I should start carrying melee weapons with me at all times.

Webcomic?

I want to create a webcomic, so I tested my tablet skills. I think I did pretty darn well. I messed up the arms and waist, but I can accept that. It was a test. =)

New Recruit pt2 (AWESOME Post)

Now that I've got the smaller, paranoid half out of the way..........

Littlekidslittlekidskidslittlekidskidslittlekidskidslittlekids!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHMYGAWD. I am SO exited!!!!!! X}

Dude, it was one of the funniest things ever....
I knew Holly was pregnant when she and Dad went to Ventura by themselves and very deliberately didn't tell us where they were going. Holly looked slightly worried and was holding Dad's hand, the owner of which beaming and bouncing around. I had noticed that something was off before, but that made it click. I reasoned that she was probably 1 month pregnant.
Three months later, she was going through JARS of pickles, craving fruit, walking differently, stopped having periods, was tired all the time, had morning sickness, and talked about food nonstop. I thought that it was hilarious they didn't want to tell us, although I totally understand their reasons. Not telling everyone that you're pregnant in the early stage is protocol and makes perfect sense. Besides, the scandalized feeling of my intelligence being underestimated was outweighed by my amusement at the fact that they thought we wouldn't find out.
Anyhoo, when Dad told us that she was pregnant and I responded with "OH COOL! So how many months has it been..? Three now?" he was utterly shocked. IT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER. His eyes got HUGE and he sputtered "You KNEW??"
Priceless.

Anyhoo, Dad and I keep taking about names while Holly looks on.
Dad wants to name him ObiWan. I think that is THE CUTEST name EVER, but if he goes to public school (something that Holly and Dad need to figure out before naming him), he needs a name that won't make him get his ass kicked. He'll already be Geeky enough if he lives with us. Holly doesn't seem to like ObiWan and also thinks that it's to dangerous. Dad suggested James in honor of James Kirk, whereupon I said that his middle name would have to be Tiberius. Although I like the ring to it (James Tiberius Sewell), Holly didn't seem to like that either.
Dad also came up with other names, but I wasn't too big on them. Han Solo Sewell doesn't sound quite right.
Holly hasn't suggested any names (at least not in front of me) yet.

I myself am thinking:
Obi Wan Sewell (just too cute to not consider)
James Tiberius Kirk (just too cool to not consider)
Spock Sewell (cool, but probably way to risky. Besides, there isn't a middle name because Spock's full name is impossible for humans to pronounce.)
Louis Farren Sewell (totally awesome, but not many get the reference. [Jack's road-name from Talisman] Also, it's what I'M planning on naming a kid I may or may not have in about 20 years.)
Loki Loptr Sewell (totally cool, but I'd be afraid of offending people)
Fenrir Caduceus Sewell (why? Because it's AWESOME)
There are also pages and pages of Elven names that ROCK.

I'm not sure if Holly would actually like any of these names (her cats are named Norman, Gladys and Bobo), but I'm throwing them out there anyway. XD

Moving on from names!
The baby is expected to be due in early October (Libra baby!!!! =^^=) and we'll get to dress him up for Halloween. BOOYA!!!
ALSO, Imma teach it to be a Geek!!!! =D
Dad and I are going to train it to be a Jedi/Samurai/Superhero/Ninja/Nerd!!!!!!!!!
We wanted him to also be a cyborg or an android, but Holly balked at that. Darn.
It's gonna be SO cool!!!!!!1
I have been searching for the Supreme Geek for my whole life. I have found Super Geeks, and I have found Totall Geeks. I have also come close to some Uber Geeks (one of them being Jason Janicki). I have just realized that I may get to help raise an Uber Geek or possibly even a Supreme Geek.

This is gonna be AWESOME.

PS!! Do you have any awesome names? Please post 'em in a comment!! =^^=
<3<3

New Recruit pt1 (Paranoid Post)

I have an announcement to make.
I'M GONNA HAVE ANOTHER SIBLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
I am so exited. X}

I have to admit though, I am pretty apprehensive about all of it... My Dad and Holly (the kid's mom. Hi Holly!!) have been dating since about November. Now, don't get me wrong. I love her. She is awesome and I think that they are a great match. However, I am under the belief that infatuation lasts for about 2 years. They disagree, believing that it lasts for about 3 weeks.
...Yes, I am serious.

WHATEVER the case, they were thinking about getting married a few months back. They asked me and I said that I didn't think it was a good idea. I also added quite plainly that I didn't want them having kids right away. Despite my warnings, they did it anyway. I don't mind when people don't listen to me on the basis that, say, my fashion sense is wacky. Or that I actually don't care where we eat. Or that I will go off on some weird rant about Disneyland's food containing will-weakening drugs that will make us trust the government. I do mind, however, when the decision they're making directly effects me. Moving the couch? Ask me first. Deciding on a breed of chickens? Ask me first. Getting married and having kids? DEFINITELY ASK ME FIRST.
It may be their decision, and I can't forbid them from having children (that would just be selfish), but I would like to be listened to. If you think my idea is bonkers, tell me so! I'm used to it! Point out the flaws in my plan, call me crazy, call me illogical, defend your point however you want! Just so long as you connect with me.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not resentful of them for having a kid! I am SO exited about the kid!!
My biggest thing is that now they are tied forever. I know how it is to have your parents divorced, or worse, unhappy with each other. I really don't want more kids to go through that. (Holly, if you're reading this right now, I know you're going to want to take me aside and explain that you and my Dad will stay together. Let me just save you the trouble. I think that you will. I am simply paranoid and overly cautious.)
Moreover, I haven't actually completely figured out Holly. I'm good at understanding people, but it takes some time if I wish to understand them at a deep level. Some people take longer then others. Holly is no exception. I totally trust her, but I know that there is something deep within her that she ignores. Something that needs to come out sometime. I'm not sure what it is, and I'm not sure if she realizes it, but I know that it's there. This isn't necessarily a bad thing! It's just something that I wanted to delve into before life got more complicated. Also, I am still unfamiliar with her body language, so I feel like I'm treading on eggshells whenever I interact with her. I'm pretty light on my feet, but pregnant women tend to get very grouchy. Especially around me. Why? I'm not sure. I'm guessing it's because I broadcast 'wolf' when I'm in public.

I Watched Doctor Who!!!

I did it. I finally did it. I got around to watching Doctor Who!!
Unfortunately, Netflix didn't have the classics, so (after much research) I started with Series 1, 2005, the 9th Doctor.
IT. IS. SO. CHEESY.
.....
I love it.
I absolutely love it.

The very first episode revolves around plastic store mannequins coming to life,and chasing and shooting people with pre-installed guns I'm sure they weren't designed to have while loafing in shop windows.
Oh yeah. I'm hooked.
The 9th Doctor himself is a sarcastic, cheeky, and intense magnificent bastard. Under all that, he's sad, lonely, and strangely relatable. I miss the whole scarf and British stereotypes thing the 4th Doctor had going, but Christopher Eccleston made up for all that with his superb acting. Although I'm not as impressed with Billie Piper's acting, I think her character (Rose) is nicely developed.
And the theme song isn't all that bad either. =}

So far, 2 episodes in, I give it:

4/5 for originality
3/5 for special effects and props (the special effects? Lame. The props? EPIC.)
3/5 for acting
4/5 for interesting characters
5/5 for cool aliens and overall cheesiness. OH! And sonic screwdrivers.

So far, it gets an average of 3.8 out of a possible 5.0.
Good job, show! =)
