...and no, I don't know where the title came from, or why I did that. " I am a flower quickly fading, Here today and gone tomorrow, A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean), A vapor in the wind, Still You hear me when I'm calling, Lord, You catch me when I'm falling." And, now that I have expressed my self duely with lyrics from Casting Crowns Who Am I?, I shall express myself. I am Tiana. I'm not the heir to any kingdom but Christ's, I'm a Christian. And I'm a Jedi. You got any problems with it, take it to my lawyer. His name's Lord Vader, the nine-foot tall, incredible Dark Lord of the Sith. Got a problem with that... well... don't take it to my lawyer, you can run. Got that? And I don't have anything of merit to say. I'm here today, gone tommorow, but in the meantime, give me a call and I'll be here. Unless I'm not, in which case I'm obviously elsewhere. Leave a message after the beep. So, you want to know about me? My name's known to a few people. I have dark brown eyes, lightish brown hair that looks somewhat goldish in the summer, I'm slightly overweight, I'm short (5"2). I like food, music, writing, reading... internet? Yeah, that about covers it. And walking around in brown robes with a lightsaber... I'm a Jedi. So there. And I like making intelegent rants once in a while. www.rhymezone.com is a very helpful site. I own this site, but Celebrian is the admin. I'm in denial. Snrk. And if you ever need a graphic of some sort, give me a call/PM. I'm bored. [glow=purple,12,300] *BEEP*[/glow]

ENTRY TWO:
I don't write in things like this much. I don't have time, after all, I'm usually too busy making everything else make sense. Which never works. Stick it in your ear. *crosses eyes*
So, let's talk. I don't know what about, I've already told you who I am in a general sense of things, and you probably didn't care about that, unknown readers. (though you are known to me...) An unnintellegint comment: you can't blow up a ballon with your nose.
Yes, you needed to know that.
Jandalf's word of the moment scared me... you didn't need to know that either.
So, I'll try to find something about my life to talk about. Hm. I don't have a life. My grandmother and great-grandmother came out today for mom and D's birthday (littlest brother). I figured out that if my GGM lives to be 120, my kids could've had kids, and she's be able to be a great-great-great-grandmother. If I have kids at 18, and my first has a kid at 18, that is. Mom and I also determined that if she was to have 10 kids (five more to go...) and each of us had ten kids she'd have 100 grandchildren. If THEY each had 10 kids, she'd have 1000 great grandchildren. If THEY each had 10 kids, she'd have 10000 great-GREAT grandchildren, and we'd be able to populate a small country.
With that in mind, we will be able to take over the world in five generations. Do not resist. Resistance is futile. You will be married or destroyed.
Lyrics of the moment.
Pillar: Frontline
"It’s not like I’m walking alone into the Valley of the Shadow of Death Stand beside one another, ‘cause it ain’t over yet I’d be willing to bet that if we don’t back down You and I will be the ones that are holding the Crown in the end When it’s over, we can say, “Well done”<br>But not yet, ‘cause it’s only begun So, pick up, and follow me, we’re the only ones To fight this thing, until we’ve won We drive on and don’t look back It doesn’t mean we can’t learn from our past All the things that we mighta done wrong We could’ve been doing this all along"

Hummm... I don't have any lyrics at the moment... *mutters* I must HUNT SOME DOWN. Yes!
All right.
Random comments on my week, whatever.
Something that really made my day: Some random person in the grocery store said hi to me. That shouldn't seem to be anything really big, right? Well, since I walk around in full robes... that day I had my Jedi robe, a plaid shirt and black pants on... most people think I'm a freak. I can see it in their faces when they give me the double take look from feet to head. Then someone says hi to me as cheerily as if I were their best friend, no comment on the robe and no staring at all. As if I were perfectly normal.
Needless to say, I said hi back, and grinned. I was happy.
Now if someone would just give me flowers... *sighs*
People don't read this journal. *grins* I know I'm not as interesting as Jandalf or anything like that because I'm rarely out of the house, but, still. *shrugs* Oh well, no life is better than being dead.
I make my statement. I will live forever or die in the attempt!!
I probably had some other things to say, but I forgot them. It's storming here in... *pauses* No, perhaps I won't abbrviate my hometown. Someone could stalk me...
Well, it's raining. I like rain. I like clouds and gray weather. I don't like darkness, though. I'm afraid of the dark, and I know it's pathetic. *shrugs* Oh well. My sibs are argueing about picking up their toys, as usual.
Did I do anything of note?
Oh, YES! I got Kutless's CD Sea of Faces. I like Kutless. A lot.
That solves the lyrics issue. I'll post...
From Kutless, Album Sea of Faces: Perspective.
"It feels like your life's crashing down all around you. Let me ask if it's really so bad, Look at the world in it's suffering, Can you honestly tell me that know one else could understand, All the hurting inside...
Why can't you see that freedom is sometimes simply another perspective away? Who could you be if your lens was changed for a moment, Would you still be the same?
A young child looks through a great stained glass window, Watching the people go by. Everyone seems to be wearing a red coat, His mother sees jackets in white... Now he can't understand why does she see it this way?"

Entry 4:
Wow, two things in one day... sort of. Well, it's sort of tommorow, but... yeah. I had to go and screech! I CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC OUTLOUD ON MY COMPUTER NOW!
Um. Yeah. Pathetic what amuses me. My speakers weren't working for about two months, though, and NOW I HAVE THEM WORKING AGAIN! I don't know why. They just started working. Now I'm listening to music. Quietly. Mom would kill me if I had music LOUD. Snrk. At least at this hour, anyway.
Anyway, yeah. I had to get that off my chest. Heh heh.
Lesse... anything else to mention? Oh, sure. I have made a discovery from my childhood! Pencil crayons! Darn, they're so AMUSING to use! I have discovered that if I draw an anime character I can color him/her.
But I don't have to use those stupid earbuds to listen to my music anymore!!!!!!!!
Yes. I know. I'll shut up. Wait. I don't have to! This is MY journal, not yours, random unknown reader of TERROR! MINE, YES! I CAN RANT ABOUT WHATEVER I WANT! Which obviously means...
*deep breath*
I CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC THROUGH MY SPEAKERS AGAIN!!!
*dies from lack of air*
*comes back to life because continually dying is getting on many people's nerves*
Oh... darn! I need more lyrics...
Here! By downhere: from Great Are You.
"Your Name rings on the plains Like a not so distant train And Love and history are near In the flowers that you make The flowers that you make
Because I'll never hold the picture Of the whole horizon in my view Because I'll never rip the night in two It makes me wonder Who am I, Who am I, Who am I And great are you".
Heh. I like that song... probably because they're one of the group's I've seen live.

Yay the speakers work!!! Now will you put the music back on or consult me for a music player?
It's wierd...I had a sense something computer-ish happened so I came in here...I'm scaring myself...

I'm not sure... the music players really make the site run slow for people on dialup I discovered, having went on Adrienne's computer. If you know a code that you can use to make the player come up in a popup window that you can choose to click or not, or something...
I don't know. Just so it doesn't run so fast. Yeah.
Now.
Entry... 5 Little bro's piano thing. Mom brought home slurpees for all of us. That shouldn't really be noteable, only thing is that the cups are Star Wars cups. *grins*
Needless to say, our house now has two Yoda head cups running around, and four different holographic Vader cups with Vader head lid. Mine has Obi-Wan on one side and Anakin on the other. My brother has one with The Duel on it and Evil-Eye Anakin. My sis has one with Vady-Wady and Yoda, and my mom has one with Vader and a space battle. Needless to say, they are all really cool. The Yoda heads don't belong to anyone. They're just...
Well, it's one way to get ahead. Perhaps two.
No, I'm not going to go die in a corner for that horrid pun. *grins* I'm going to end this post and attempt to make another skin. Already did one more... a blue Obi-Matrixesque one that I'm using at the moment. I was getting a bit tired of "take up the sword", so... yeah.
Now I can make one skin for each of my aliases! I will make them match different signatures and it will match! Yes! I am brilliant! Snrk. Kidding. I'm too tired to do that NOW. I mean, I spent about 2 hours working on a digital drawing of Anakin...
Um. Lyrics to end this...
*searchs her computer to find any saved lyrics. Grimaces that all she can find is Come What May, Who Am I, and Home Is Behind*
Aha!
I'm not posting Come What May. No love songs today...
Away From the Sun, by 3doorsdown
"It's down to this I've got to make this life make sense Can anyone do what I've done I missed life I missed the colours of the world Can anyone go where I am
'Cause now again I've found myself So far down, away from the sun That shines into the darkest place I'm so far down, away from the sun again Away from the sun again
I'm over this I'm tired of living in the dark Can anyone see me down here The feeling's gone There's nothing left to lift me up Back into the world I've known
'Cause now again I've found myself So far down, away from the sun That shines into the darkest place I'm so far down, away from the sun That shines the life away from me To find my way back into the arms That care about the ones like me I'm so far down, away from the sun again "

entry 6
*Starts crying* My computer just crashed and I lost my ENTIRE **** post. I had wrote about 5 pages for a review on my opinion on RotS. THE STUPID THING SHOULD NOT HAVE WENT OFF!!!! IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!!!! *goes into hystarics* Anyway. I'm not going to bother with spell check or any of that again. That computer hates me. *mutters curses* I'll write the on with spoilers probably later, because I have to cry about that... THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*otherwise hystarical and mad and YES, it was probably at least 5 or six pages on Word if I had saved it*
*NOW I'M GOING TO TURN DARK*
Basically, the spoilerproof version.
With decent and realistic battles that completely draw you into the picture much more so than the original ones do now, and a decent angstic plot on the side (though not enough of that, in my opinion), Revenge of the Sith is a well spent two and a half hours. The defining piece of the series, the conclucsion well known to die-hard fans of the series, and happenings within known to those spoiler-seekers, it's almost everything you expect. Though still containing annoyingly cliché scenes, and leaving millions of plot threads unpicked up for later writers, it's a decent movie in all. We came, we went, we sat, we cried, and left with eyes emensively wide.
The plot not being a particular enough to off balance the battles that are nearly nonstop, and the lack of decent acting in dramatic scenes on Obi-Wan's part grant the movie a rating of 4 stars in my humble opinion.
There, you have it. My spoilerproof rating. Now. I'm going to post this and then rant about spoilers and get some lyrics, perhaps.
SPOILERS: HIGHLIGHT TO READ IF SO YOU WISH!
[glow=black,232,300]The beginning of the movie was incredible, very realistic in it's scape battle. The moment the text began its way up the screen with triumphant music, any diehard fan should be hooked. Any not so great fans should be as well. Though the movie leaves you with a strong desire to go off and watch the next movies for the slight hope that everything's NOT doomed, it's still quite incredible.
The battles annoyed me, and I hated Grevious. I'm too tired to retype my whole reasons, but I didn't like him, and I though him unnecessary to the whole movie. He was meant for the cartoons, not this. Just... ugg.
Unlike Jandalf, I didn't find everything too cliche, but I did find that they quoted the other movies far too often. At least with the lack of plot, they didn't have time to be too cliche and annoying.
The Wookiees were cool, but there wasn't enough with them. They needed more. I liked that Obi-Wan found the security holograms to find out it was Anakin who killed the Jedi (starts crying again), but I found that in that scene he wasn't anastifed enough.
Anakin did a lot better job at acting this time. He seemed quite real in his turn. Too real... *shudders* I hope he doesn't try to take over this universe now.
The feel you get from seeing Vader for the first time is very creepy indeed.
I thought they killed Dooku too soon, but I liked that whole scene merely for the fact that Anakin goes back to save Obi-Wan instead of leaving him. And the whole stuff with Anakin telling Mace that Palpy is the Sith was cool... but I didn't like Mace's death, and I didn't think Anakin should've gone all pathetic and suchnot.
Oh well.
I liked how they had him really all torn with choosing between the light and darksides. I thought he was a bit too angsty about Padme and not looking at what she would've liked, though. And I started crying when he attempted to Force-choke her.
I started crying again when Obi-Wan said he loved him. Stupid chosen brat. That always gets me, when a character can admit to that...
Oh well. I thought the stuff mentioned with Qui-Gon was unnecessary. And... yeah. I'm too tired to remember what I'm suppose to say, so, spoiler out for now. Rant later... [/glow]
We seen it in costume and everyone was staring at us... it was very amusing.
I need lyrics... must go find certain lyrics that a certain Empress will understand why I have to post them...
From Pillar: Fireproof... here's the whole song, as I'm too tired to pick and choose...
Here's a chance to show you how I feel A chance for you to see it's real To see just what I feel inside and who it is that's by my side I will never change my mind Try to torch me and you'll find You can't turn me or deter me No matter how you try You can't burn me Chorus I know where I stand and what'll happen if you try it I am FIREPROOF I know my heart and I just can't deny it I am FIREPROOF I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet I am FIREPROOF I'll never bow down and you won't buy it I am FIREPROOF Now you know what I'm all about There's no chance I'll ever doubt The only one who can control me I extol the Almighty You want me to put it on the line And give yield to you this time See but I won't compromise and I realize It's my time to rise Chorus You'll never take me in the fire You'll never take my own desire
SPOILERISH: [glow=black,100,000] Anakin: *singing as he dances on volcano's rim 'I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet /I am fireproof*
Obi-Wan: Proof this! *shoves Anakin in volcano*
Anakin: *burns up* Darn...[/glow]

Okay, stop ranting in my journal... the edit button is your friend... yes... ENTRY 7: Of driving. I now have my learners. TH, PH34R T3H GIRL ON THE RED MOPED. If I'm ever allowed to drive it on my own outside of the park. So far, for your enjoyment, I have drove it three times. Time one: With mom: Me: BUT WHERE'S THE PEDALS! AHHHHHHHH!!! Time Two: With Dad. I must say that I preferred him as a teacher, but mom was better off with my first attempts, because she's more patient and Jedi-like. Dad's more Sithlike, but he's also more likely to make sure I learn to drive it. I managed to get bombed. Stupid bird. *rolls eyes* And I hit mud and nearly wavered. I also ended up driving on a real road for my first time... heh. ...AND I was speeding for about 3 seconds in town.[/sub] Heh. Time Three: With dad again: I was able to drive as fast as 50 kms per hour on the dirt road. Managed to hit some rocky muddy stuff, and drove into a fence, knocking the moped over on me, bruising my finger, my knee, decapitating the light, and bending the handle bar a bit. The worst damage taken was by my knee, which is purple and red in a space that covers from half way down my calf, and up to a hand's breadth beneath my thigh. And it's pretty wide too. I won't be wearing shorts for a while-- not that I ever have. Heh. So, thus, it was my first moterized accident. Hurt a bit, but dad fixed the damage to the scooter. *shrugs* If dad'll upload the pictures, maybe I can show you all what it looks like! W00T! Oh, right... lyrics... *contemplates* All I can think of is: "Though there's pain in the offering, blessed be your name". From Blessed Be Your Name, a Matt Redman song. We sing it in church a lot, so... yeah. *shrugs* The pain part is STUCK in my head! PAAAIN... owie. *pokes knee* Owwwiieeee... I need to write. Dreadfully.

Entry 8: Here... now you can all know what the moped that did my knee in looks like. Ha! And all you stalkers thought I'd post my pictures WITH my face! (cackles) Anyway. I am aware that I have ugly shoes. My sister called them hidious and said she'd never wear them. That was the point... *cackles again* To those I have picture exchanged with (you know who you are) if you want the pictures WITH my face, I'll send them to you. Heh. Hmm... anything else to say? I betaed a piece for Adrienne, and I started writing some random thing. Bleh. Nothing much in the last couple hours. Got a new printer installed... yeah. *shrugs* Lyrics... now... hm... Kelly Clarkson "Hear Me". Yeah, secular music. I do listen to it a lot, I just tend to post what's stuck in my head, and that's usually CCM music... *shrugs* Pillar and Kutless REALLY get stuck in there... "I used to be scared of Letting someone in But it gets so lonely Being on my own No one to talk to And no one to hold me I'm not always strong Oh, I need you here Are you listening?
Hear me I'm cryin' out I'm ready now Turn my world upside down Find me I'm lost inside the crowd It's getting loud I need you to see I'm screaming for you to please Hear me"

...my daddy stuck a lable on it that reads "My precious!!". He's scaring me. He also carved the spoons of doom.
Present amusement:
At church:
Adrienne and I were complaining about various aches and pains.
Adrienne: My finger hurts.
Tiana: My KNEE hurts.
Adrienne: (contemplates) We always complain about various aches, don't we?
Tiana: This is more than an ACHE! *looks in pain*
Adrienne: Oh, what'd you do? Crash the moped?
Tiana: ...how'd you guess?
Adrienne: (has to take several moments to process this and determine I'm telling the truth) You WHAT?!
Tiana: Uh-huh...
*grins*
That just amused me... her face made the fact that I walk with a limp almost worthwhile...

No lyrics, I'm just plain lazy to type out the Days of Elijah.

Entry ten:
I've passed 4000 posts. Yeek. Now that I have done this, I will fall into post hiking because I've made an extensive number of long posts without pointlessness.
I am now completely freaked out.
At 10:45 on Wednesday, we get to go pick Jandalf up. Eeeekkkk... it's not every day I have a fellow admin over, of course.
This will also mean she'll be posting from my IP address. As if enough people didn't think we were aliases of each other, now it'll be WORSE. (We're not. See, we posted pictures...) (heh)
Anyway. I'm only slightly freaked... I really am afraid of what could happen. I only pray all goes well...
I'm considering changing the name of my journal here from Heir Today, King Tommorow to The Life of An Admin Without a Life. Snrk.
Anyway...do I have anything else to say?
Mmm.. nope.
Lyrics of the moment.
"Imaginary"
I linger in the doorway Of alarm clock screaming Monsters calling my name Let me stay Where the wind will whisper to me Where the raindrops As they’re falling tell a story
[Chorus:] In my field of paper flowers And candy clouds of lullaby I lie inside myself for hours And watch my purple sky fly over me
*grins*
Maybe I'll rename it "leave a message after the beep"...

Heh. Just another random note today... Jandalf's alive and freaking out about a tag from the bus... Adrienne's alive and she beheaded Yoda. Really. 7 11 slurpee cup here... snrk. It's Yoda's head.
Well. There. Now we all know.
I had a slurpee and now I can't type because my fingers are cold... gah... PAIN! *grumbles*
Anyway, yeah. If I had a song stuck in my head I'd get you lyrics but I don't have any... gah.... (complains) Besides, I'm on a very weird adrenilene rush...

Entry 13:
Guess what. I have an evil STUPID cold of DOOM. In caps, no less. *grins* Sucks, really. My nose feels like it's going to flake apart, and half the time I walk with this trance-like expression.
We watched all the SW movies (we being myself, Adrienne, and Jandalf) in order. RotS we seen in costume. People made odd faces at us. Jandalf and I ended up dueling, which was... amusing... because she's so much taller than I am. Adrienne was taking pictures. If she emails them to me, I'll CGI them and post the back to back picture with grayed out faces.
At the moment...
ACH-OO!
*grins*
I made a freaky signature. I'm tempted to use it... but then Jandalf's sig would make no sense. *muses*
Now... lyrics... er...
Erasure's "Imagination". Haven't heard the song, but the lyrics are sweet...
"What do you with yourself when you see the storm clouds rising? Feeling alone with yourself as the sun fades away
The memories come to and fro The trouble is they never want to go They come never go
Imagination
It's just your imagination rolling over the past It can change your mind completely It's just my imagination running wild and too fast But I know it won't defeat me
Look into the eyes of Medusa and she'll turn your world to stone She'll tear at your eyes and seduce you and your soul will be gone
The messages and hidden dreams Of former lives and lovers never seen A love never seen
Imagination
It's just your imagination rolling over the past It can change your mind completely It's just my imagination running wild and too fast But I know it won't defeat me
What do you with yourself when you're lost on some horizon? Taking a hold of yourself when you know the timing's wrong
The memories come to and fro The trouble is they never want to go
Imagination
It's just your imagination rolling over the past It can change your mind completely It's just my imagination running wild and too fast But I know it won't defeat me"
