I haven't written a blog in, like, foreverish.

Volleyball preseason has been going well. Any other volleyball players out there? I'm on my high school's varsity team, and I'm a libero, the person who's in the back passing all the time. I'm having lots of fun.

I've been missing Avatar a lot. I am always having dreams about it, either I'm in the Avatar world or I'm just watching one of those new minisodes where something completely random happens, like Pakku knocking Katara up and so forth.

I'm itching for that new Heroes season, too. That shall fill the void.

Plus! I'm excited for the new Sims 2 expansion pack, Apartment Life. Your Simmies get to live in apartments, plus they can learn witchcraft! I'm so pumped.

Speaking of witches, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince gets moved back?! Ugh, WB, why must you hurt me in this way? You make me so sad. Don't come out with a date only to crush our dreams with an added 200+ days to wait!

Anyone read the book The Lexus and the Olive Tree? I need some major help on my AP Human Geography essay.

is Zuko's mommy?
I mean, sure, it was the most EPIC two hours of television I've ever seen, let alone anything from a "kid's" network. And, yeah, my ship didn't exactly prevail (hey, as a Zutarian, it got as close as it was gonna get, but I was satisfied). And yeah, I still don't get Soulbending or whatever Aang did.
But where's Zuko's mommy?!
Bryke damn well better adress that topic next ComicCon or "one hour movie special," because I will not be truly at rest until I know. For gods sake, they DANGLED it in front of our NOSES in the LAST THREE MINUTES of Avatar, period. Well, I do have to admit, it was damn amazing, and I've never said "holy **** (or something similar that rhymes with "hit") that many times a row in my life. Sad part is, my VCR (yes, VCR) missed three quarters of Part 4. Groan. But wow. That's all i can say. Gawd, I hate typing on the iTouch!!

Hey everyone! How epic were some of those commershes? Ah, I am so pumped for the finale!

For tonight's episode, I have all the essentials:

IBC Rootbeer, Costco choco-chip muffins, Sun Chips, news that my laptop has come in to Best Buy while being gone for a month, and, of course, one of the most exciting episodes this series has seen! So, in light of this fact, I am going to write down my predicts for all of humanity to laugh or laud in an hour and a half.

1. "The Hug" happens at the very end of this episode.

2. Katara, at first, wants to kill the guy who killed her mom, but Zuko convinces her not to. Kinda like a "You don't want to be the kind of person he is" or whatevs.

3. FLASHBACK! We get to see to story of the Southern Raids with visuals of Katara's mom. Hey, if we can see Ozai after the hiding of the first two seasons, we can see Kataramom. Did we ever find out her name?

4. No Azula in this episode.

5. Zuko doesn't find his mom in this ep, but he figures out where she might be. Oh, and along with this, i think it's Ursa's voice in that new epic Final Battle commersh.

Eh, that's all I have now. Frankly, I just wanna watch the freakin' episode. I'm looking forward to this one more than EIP and even closely to the finale just because this episode is still shrouded in mystery.

AHHH! The epicness!! I can't write anymore; I must go take a Chill Pill!!

Ah, its that time that we've all been waiting for, and no, it's not legalization of marijuanna or the joining of North and South Dakota. It's even better.

Avatar is returning for one last hurrah, with new (well, you know) episodes all this week leading up to a two-hour grand finale on Saturday. "Pumped" is quite an understatement at this point. My DVR is set to record the Nicktoons "Every Episode of Avatar Ever Made" marathon, ending with six never-before-seen episodes, including one that HASN'T been spoiled (SR). So, the question is: are you ready?

I've gone and made myself a t-shirt:

I'm also going to frequent the TV.com boards all this week, maybe jam to some Track Team Avatar songs, and, most importantly, reflect on how this show has changed my life.

Hope you guys have a great week.

six nights. ten episodes. one last time.

Hay guys! Two stories. First order of business, my iPod Touch is driving me insane. Ok, so, I'm just trying to jailbreak it, no biggie (I've hacked into it before), and it's giving me crap! I've had to reset it about 6 times tonight. I was the first of my friends to hack when I got it at Christmas, and then I got bored and uninstalled it. But then my friend Ryan comes in to class with ZOMG POKEMON on his iPod touch, so now I'm jealous. I WANT MY POKEMON! So I've been a technology slave for the past 3 hours trying to figure this darned thing out.

Additionally, in case y'all over at the Avatar boards haven't heard, our beloved Sgt. Hydra hath been banned. He really brightened my day with all his witty posts and interesting input to discussions. Sure, sometimes he went overboard, but who doesn't? It would be against his very principles to be normal. So, therefore, I'm observing a 72-hour-no-posting-on-teh-boards vigil in honor of a fallen comrade.
