10:56 pm - September 15th, 2004
I have lived in Stanwood for 79 days.
I started glacing at my friends lj again. And thinking about my other friends back home.
Its kinda funny, I think of being in Stanwood like its exile. As if I'm ever going back.
I have only talked to five of my friends from Arlington, which is but a mere fraction of how many I did have.
We chose our Japanese names in Japanese class. It brought back memories of first year.
Hell, when ever I let my mind wander in the halls, I can swear that I see someone familiar. Its kinda creepy. And there are some students that must have cousins in both towns, cause the last names are the same.
I don't think that I'll be posting here anymore, or at least for a very long while. Everytime I come to this site, I think of Arlington and everyone I know. I can't go back and I doubt that I ever will. I told myself a long time ago that I'd try to forget the past, as much as I have obsessed about it, I'm surprised I haven't asked for help about it.
Actually, on second thought, I'm not. I never ask for help.

Bin Laden Expert Steps Forward

Ex-CIA Agent Sizes Up Osama
"Until we respect him, we are going to die in numbers that are probably unnecessary," says Michael Scheuer, who created a secret CIA unit for tracking and eliminating Osama bin Laden. (Photo: CBS)
Scheuer says in May 2003, Osama bin Laden secured a fatwa - an Islamic decree - from a Saudi sheik saying he would be justified in using nuclear weapons against Americans, in retaliation for Muslims who have died.

Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror
(advertisement)
(CBS) One of the Central Intelligence Agency's foremost experts on Osama bin Laden has stepped out of the shadows and joined the public debate over past mistakes and future strategy in the war on terror.
Michael Scheuer is the senior intelligence analyst who created and advised a secret CIA unit for tracking and eliminating bin Laden since 1996. He's also been at the center of a battle between the CIA and the White House over Mideast policy and the war on terror.
What is new for Scheuer - who resigned from the intelligence agency on Friday after 22 years - is commenting by name. This summer, he authored a book, "Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror," under the pen name Anonymous.
The book, written with the CIA's blessing, is critical of the Bush administration's counterterrorism policy, and was viewed by some at the White House as a thinly veiled attempt by the CIA to undermine the president's reelection.
In his first television interview, Scheuer talked to Correspondent Steve Kroft about his frustrations in the war on terror and his assessment of bin Laden's plans - including the al Qaeda founder's interest in nuclear weapons.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Former CIA agent Michael Scheuer spoke to 60 Minutes in his first television interview out of the shadows.
After a 22-year career as a spy charged with keeping secrets, Scheuer decided it was more important to join the public debate on how to best attack Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.
"His genius lies in his ability to isolate a few American policies that are widely hated across the Muslim world. And that growing hatred is going to yield growing violence," says Scheuer. "Our leaders continue to say that we're making strong headway against this problem. And I think we are not."
In 1996, at a time when little was known about the wealthy Saudi, other than he was suspected of financing terrorism, Scheuer was assigned to create a bin Laden desk at the CIA.
"The uniqueness of the unit was more or less that it was focused on a single individual. It was really the first time the agency had done that sort of effort," says Scheuer.
Did he try to figure out where bin Laden was? "Where he was, where his cells were, where his logistical channels were," says Scheuer. "How he communicated. Who his allies were. Who donated to them... I think it's fair to say the entire range of sources were brought to bear."
Codenamed "Alec," the unit was originally made up of about a dozen agents. And in less than a year, they discovered that bin Laden was more than some wealthy Saudi throwing his money around - and that his organization, known as al Qaeda, was not a Muslim charity.
"We had found that he and al Qaeda were involved in an extraordinarily sophisticated and professional effort to acquire weapons of mass destruction. In this case, nuclear material, so by the end of 1996, it was clear that this was an organization unlike any other one we had ever seen," says Scheuer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scheuer says his bosses at the CIA were initially skeptical of that information. And that was just the beginning of his frustrations.
In a letter to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees earlier this year, Scheuer says his agents provided the U.S. government with about ten opportunities to capture bin Laden before Sept. 11, and that all of them were rejected.
One of the last proposals, which he described to the 9/11 Commission in a closed-door session, involved a cruise missile attack against a remote hunting camp in the Afghan desert, where bin Laden was believed to be socializing with members of the royal family from the United Arab Emirates.
Scheuer wanted to level the entire camp. "The world is lousy with Arab princes," says Scheuer. "And if we could have got Osama bin Laden, and saved at some point down the road 3,000 American lives, a few less Arab princes would have been OK in my book."
"You couldn't have done this without killing an Arab prince," asks Kroft.
"Probably not. Sister Virginia used to say, 'You'll be known by the company you keep.' That if those princes were out there eating goat with Osama bin Laden, then maybe they were there for nefarious reasons. But nonetheless, they would have been the price of battle."
And that doesn't bother him? "Not a lick," says Scheuer.
"My understanding is you had a reputation within the CIA as being fairly obsessive about this subject," says Kroft. "I dislike obsessive," says Scheuer. "I think hard-headed about it."
Whatever you call it, in 1999, three years after he started the bin Laden unit, Scheuer's candor got him into trouble with his supervisors at the CIA. What were the circumstances under which he left the bin Laden unit?
"I think I became too insistent that we were not pursuing this target with enough vigor and with enough risk-taking - - an unwillingness to take risks," says Scheuer. "I got relieved of the position I was in. I had a lovely sojourn in the library and then had other sojourns since."
His exile ended shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, when he was brought back to the bin Laden unit as a special adviser. But by then, everything had changed.
His nemesis had gone underground, and the United States was on its way to invading Afghanistan and Iraq - creating, Scheuer says, the perception in the minds of 1.3 billion Muslims that America had gone to war against Islam.
"The war in Iraq - if Osama was a Christian - it's the Christmas present he never would have expected," says Scheuer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right or wrong, he says Muslims are beginning to view the United States as a colonial power with Israel as its surrogate, and with a military presence in three of the holiest places in Islam: the Arabian peninsula, Iraq, and Jerusalem. And he says it is time to review and debate American policy in the region, even our relationship with Israel.
"No one wants to abandon the Israelis. But I think the perception is, and I think it's probably an accurate perception, that the tail is leading the dog - that we are giving the Israelis carte blanche ability to exercise whatever they want to do in their area," says Scheuer. "And if that's what the American people want, then that's what the policy should be, of course. But the idea that anything in the United States is too sensitive to discuss or too dangerous to discuss is really, I think, absurd."
Is he talking about appeasement?
"I'm not talking about appeasement. There's no way out of this war at the moment," says Scheuer. "It's not a choice between war and peace. It's a choice between war and endless war. It's not appeasement. I think it's better even to call it American self-interest."
Scheuer believes that al Qaeda is no longer just a terrorist organization that can be defeated by killing or capturing its leaders. Now, he says it's a global insurgency that's spreading revolutionary fervor throughout the Muslim world.
"Bin Laden's still at large. His most recent speech, I think, demonstrates that he's not running rock to rock, cave to cave. We are tangled in a very significant Islamic insurgency in Iraq," says Scheuer.
"Most dramatically, and perhaps least noticed, is the violence inside Saudi Arabia itself. Saudi Arabia was, until just a few years ago, probably one of the most safe countries on earth. And now the paper is daily full of activities and shootouts between Islamists who supported Osama bin Laden and the government there."
But if bin Laden is much stronger than he was, why haven't there been more attacks on the United States?
"One of the great intellectual failures of the American intelligence community, and especially the counterterrorism community, is to assume if someone hasn't attacked us, it's because he can't or because we've defeated him," says Scheuer. "Bin Laden has consistently shown himself to be immune to outside pressure. When he wants to do something, he does it on his own schedule."
"You've written no one should be surprised when Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda detonate a weapon of mass destruction in the United States," says Kroft. "You believe that's going to happen?"
"I don't believe in inevitability. But I think it's pretty close to being inevitable," says Scheuer.
A nuclear weapon? "A nuclear weapon of some dimension, whether it's actually a nuclear weapon, or a dirty bomb, or some kind of radiological device," says Scheuer. "Yes, I think it's probably a near thing."
What evidence is there that bin Laden's actually working to do this? "He's told us it. Bin Laden is remarkably eager for Americans to know why he doesn't like us, what he intends to do about it and then following up and doing something about it in terms of military actions," says Scheuer. "He's told us that, 'We are going to acquire a weapon of mass destruction, and if we acquire it, we will use it.'"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Sept. 11, Scheuer says bin Laden was criticized by Muslim clerics for launching such a serious attack without sufficient warning. That has now been given. And he says bin Laden has even obtained a fatwa, or Islamic decree, justifying a nuclear attack against the United States on religious grounds.
"He secured from a Saudi sheik named Hamid bin Fahd a rather long treatise on the possibility of using nuclear weapons against the Americans. Specifically, nuclear weapons," says Scheuer. "And the treatise found that he was perfectly within his rights to use them. Muslims argue that the United States is responsible for millions of dead Muslims around the world, so reciprocity would mean you could kill millions of Americans."
Scheuer says the fatwa was issued in May 2003, "and that's another thing that doesn't come to the attention of the American people."
Despite this threat, Scheuer insists the CIA doesn't have nearly enough trained analysts working on the Osama bin Laden unit today. At a time when Congress is considering revolutionary changes in the way the intelligence community is organized, Scheuer sees no major problems with the CIA or the product it produces.
He blames Sept. 11 on poor leadership from people like former CIA Director George Tenet, his chief deputy, Jim Pavitt, and former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, who were invited, but declined, to appear on Sunday's 60 Minutes.
"Richard Clarke has said that you're really sort of a hothead, a middle manager who really didn't go to any of the cabinet meetings in which important things were discussed, and that basically you were just uninformed," says Kroft.
"I certainly agree with the fact that I didn't go to the cabinet meetings. But I'm certainly also aware that I'm much better informed than Mr. Clarke ever was about the nature of the intelligence that was available again Osama bin Laden and which was consistently denigrated by himself and Mr. Tenet," says Scheuer.
"I think Mr. Clarke had a tendency to interfere too much with the activities of the CIA, and our leadership at the senior level let him interfere too much," says Scheuer. "So criticism from him I kind of wear as a badge of honor."
Is there anything about bin Laden that Americans don't know, but should? "Yeah, I think there is. I think our leaders over the last decade have done the American people a disservice in continuing to characterize Osama bin Laden as a thug, as a gangster, as a degenerate personality, as some kind of abhorrent individual," says Scheuer.
"He surely does reprehensible activities, and we should surely take care of that by killing him as soon as we can. But he's not an irrational man. He's a very worthy enemy. He's an enemy to worry about."
"You wrote in your book that he's a great man," says Kroft.
"Yes, certainly a man, without the connotation good or bad, he's a great man in the sense that he's influenced the course of history," says Scheuer.
Does he respect bin Laden? "Until we respect him, we are going to die in numbers that are probably unnecessary," says Scheuer.

Powell resigns with three other Cabinet secretaries
Condoleezza Rice nomination could be announced Tuesday
Monday, November 15, 2004 Posted: 10:26 PM EST (0326 GMT)
...(ads)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell announced Monday he was resigning, and two senior administration officials told CNN that national security adviser Condoleezza Rice is President Bush's choice to replace him.
In a letter dated Friday, Powell told Bush that, "now that the election is over the time has come for me to step down as secretary of state and return to private life. I, therefore, resign as the 65th secretary of state, effective at your pleasure."
"I will always treasure the four years that I have spent with President Bush and with the wonderful men and women of the Department of State," Powell told reporters. "I think we've accomplished a great deal."
Should Rice's nomination be approved, her top deputy, Stephen Hadley, will be promoted to national security adviser, the senior administration officials said. The nomination could be announced as early as Tuesday.
The moves drew initial negative reaction from a former secretary of state who served Bush's father.
"I do not believe that you should have in the secretary of state someone who has spent their last four years in the White House next to the president," Lawrence Eagleburger told CNN's "Paula Zahn Now." "I do believe you need tension between the State Department, the Defense Department and the National Security Council.
"If the rumors prove correct and her deputy becomes national security adviser, everybody is going to speak the same language," he said. "Whatever influence, for instance, Colin Powell had is going to be much less under these new circumstances."
Powell said Bush accepted the resignation Friday, adding, "It has always been my intention that I would serve one term."
But a senior State Department official characterized Powell's departure this way: "He was not asked to stay."
For months Powell said he served at the pleasure of the president, suggesting he might stay if asked.
"That didn't happen," the senior official said. But the official also said Powell "never asked to stay and was never asked to leave."
Powell said he expects "to act fully as secretary of state until the day that I do leave. I expect that will be a number of weeks or a month or two as my replacement goes through the confirmation process."
Meanwhile, it will be business as usual, he said. "I fully intend for the department to work as hard as it has in recent years to push forward the president's foreign policy agenda."
Asked to list the biggest pieces of unfinished business facing the department, Powell cited "the global war against terror," the consolidation of gains made in Afghanistan, the defeat of the insurgency in Iraq and the pursuit of new opportunities in the Middle East as a result of the death last week of Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat.
Asked whether he will be able to wield power as a short-timer, the former general said, "I think that I will be able to be quite effective for the remainder of my term."
He said he did not know what he would do after leaving the department.
Powell was scheduled to travel to Egypt next week for a conference on Iraq.
A senior official said Monday that the State Department was trying to arrange a meeting between Powell and the new Palestinian leadership, but added the details have not been worked out. A date and place have not been set, the official said.
The official made the comment after Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath told reporters in Gaza City that Powell was expected to meet with the leadership next week in the West Bank.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Danforth, whose name also had been discussed as a possible successor to Powell, told reporters Monday afternoon that he had not been approached about the job. "It hasn't been mentioned by me or to me," he said.
Other resignations
Powell is the most prominent of four Cabinet officials whose resignations were announced Monday by the White House.
The others were Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, Education Secretary Rod Paige and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham.
One of Powell's best known moments as secretary of state was his speech last year to the U.N. Security Council in which he made a case for invading Iraq.
He said that Saddam Hussein was still developing weapons of mass destruction despite years of U.N. disarmament demands. Those claims about Iraq weaponry were never borne out.
Smooth transition
State Department officials said that Bush and Powell decided mutually that it was time for him to go.
The White House said Powell had been in discussions with Bush about his resignation.
Some administration officials said the secretary had talked of staying on for a month to three months into the new term, because he wanted to advance a few priorities before stepping down.
But White House officials said it was decided that the secretary's resignation should be announced now.
Several officials said the White House bore no ill will toward Powell, but simply desired to move smoothly through the Cabinet transitions. One said that, had Powell stayed longer, it would have "a ripple effect" on other planned changes.
"It wasn't so much time for him, as it was time for the president," one senior official said, adding that Powell and Bush had been discussing his potential resignation for some time and had come to "mutual agreement."
CNN's John King, Andrea Koppel, Suzanne Malveaux and Elise Labotte contributed to this report.

08:37 pm - Fuck.
I hate my life.
I haven't posted here in God knows how long, so long story short, Stanwood is like a different breed of Arlington; same species, different features. Like a Dachshund to a Beagle or something.
I'm getting worried about my grades, my freshman class is nothing but a waste of time to me and I "dislike" doing any work in that class. At what sucks even worse is that Ms. Rode, the teacher, is one of those teachers that make you feel guilty when you don't do the work.
As much as I like my Civics class (government) I'm having a hard time remembering to do the work. It seems like a CWP class sometimes too though. (Current World Problems)
My Japanese class is getting harder. I'm so used to not having to really study for anything. So now, I come home and I have no idea how to study. I'm serious, I've never studied for any subject, I never saw a need to. The class is fun though. O'Donnell sensei is awesome, her and her little risu toy. (its a squirrel beany baby we through around the room for sentence and vocabulary practice.) Her class is different in that its more of a oral class. We don't do much writing. I came into the class, with a bit more Kanji, and better writing skills than my fellow third years. I still know more kanji then they do but they are as good as me in writing skills.
Choir is much more of a professional class than it was in Arlington. But now the class sucks now. I was going out with my boyfriend Max for the past month or so and I broke up with him today. So I feel like a complete bitch cause of that and then I log onto a forum and some idiot bitched me out cause I wouldn't go out with a complete stranger. Even called me a bitch. D: T_T Anyways, we had a concert yesterday, and I could tell that he wanted to socialize with me but I wanted nothing to do with him, I had to break up with him. I mean, what would you do? We have another concert this Thursday. Its more of a compeition than a concert but we have to be really good then. Like practially perfect. There is no way that Arlington could ever go there. Its at Western Washington University in Bellingham. So we have to leave school at 7:45. We don't have school then so its much easier in my opinion. This is going to be interesting for sure though.
ARGH!! I really hate myself right now...

09:06 pm - The new house. Dun dun dun...
Stairs are the evil incarnate. D:
Especially when carring heavy boxes up. *sobs*
The computer is hooked up in my room. ^_^ *ish happy*
It was funny moving all of the last stuff to the house, there were cops everywhere. My dad found a shortcut but they closed it off, then the other route (and the only other one we know of) had about 3 patrol cars there. *nervousness ensues*
Earlier, there was a wreck on the way from Smokey Point to the new house via Lakewood. Some idiot crashed his jeep into a ditch. No one was hurt, there was a few old people that had their nerves rattled.
Dad and I made a pit-spot for him and mom to get cigs. (Eww.) The is a volunteer fire department next to it and the alarm went off. It sounded like a tornado alarm you see in movies. It was very loud. D: But it was kinda cool how quickly the people arrived. They obviously live near by.
I had to stay at home, for about an hour and a half waiting for my dad to get back on the second to last load. There was too much and we had to get everything out of the house by 6:00. It was boring. Its kinda sad too, there is nothing there. T_T
There are soo many boxes. We have too much crap! That's what it all is too, crap! We have basically no use for a lot of the stuff we have.
Ugh, I have P.E. first tomorrow. I hope that its not a conditioning day.

*sighs*
I will have to invite everyone over after everything is all settled. Its a nice size house for a party. If I don't invite anyone soon, I know I'll invite some to my 18th birthday.
He he! I love my new built in desk! The wood and paint sucks on the drawers but there is lots of storage. ^_^ *can't wait for the computer to hook up*
Syd yelled at me for not updating.... Meanie head.
Well, what can I say? School has been pretty much uneventful. I did meet lots of friends and stuff.
I had to help drag some stuff to the new house. My dog was terrified. The railings on the stairs are too far apart so my parents are going to have to ajust that somehow. It has a nice storage shed. The jacuzzi needs to be cleaned but I don't go outside anyway.
I really can't think of anything to say.. (Gomenasai Syd-chan :( )

Well, I met an old friend first period. Don't remember her name though. I'l find out soon enough. The class is e-a-s-y. 2nd period class was full of freshman and sophomores. But what do I expect, its a freshman class. 3rd period, the teacher was obviously nervous. She was laughing too much and I saw one of her hands shaking. My civics "government" teacher looked like a cool guy. The choir teacher was cool too. The class sounded really good for the first day. We learned a latin song (like the language, not the whole mexican/spanish deal) today. Completely. It was cool. But we didn't read music. He taught us by ear. My japanese teacher and last class was interesting. She based her class on speaking, not reading and writing. And it sounds like the students will learn how to read and write this year. O.o She spoke most of the period in Japanese and I was completely lost. I got the basic jist but I was confused. But so were the other students. The other 10 students. ^_^' She seemed like a cool teacher, we get to watch a show about little perschoolers doing errands for their parents. The periods are 8 minutes long! There were some hot goth guys there. I don't know what grade they are in though. T_T

Yes, I just came back from my Orientation. W00t. I though this was the 21th century, where the hell are the air conditioners for God's sakes!?
The cheerleaders sucked. They dirty-danced to Brtiney's Oops I did it again. *screams and tears out ears and eyes* And they had the ASB dance too. They sucked. Arlington for sure has more spirit. Then there were the tours. I didn't join anyone, cause I'm just too cool for school. But most of the hallways were outside. I am happy that I got my umbrella. I looked to the east to see what the weather was going to be like and I saw a bunch of clouds, which could mean anything of course, it just makes the idea of rain more probable.
The freshman have their own campus, whether its for their own safety or population increases I don't know or care. But I do know that I have two classes there. One of my classes is a freshman class, but my japanese class is in that campus too. O.o
Heh, the Japanese students don't learn Kanji until this year, I'm ahead! ^_^

I went to get registered at Stanwood high today. I found out that I don't have to do the Senior. If that isn't the best thing that has happened to me in a long time, I'm a friggin' idiot. Or just really lucky. ^_^'
I do have to take a semester of Pacific Northwest History. It generally full of freshman and sophomores but hey, its only one semester.
I got all the classes I wanted. They offer Japanese III. And the teacher is Japanese too, just like Aoki Sensei. Which is really nice too. I also get to watch anime and learn cultural stuff. I already know some kanji and it isn't introduced untill the third year so I'm already ahead.
The advanced choir travels a lot too! The only thing that I worry about is if the class is as good as Arlington's. Cause Arlington's choir classes are like one of the best in the nation so I wonder....
The front of the school is all sharp and modern the rest is kinda old but I still like it. Its like the old Arlington High School and the new one combined into one school.
The freshman have their own little section of the campus, so no annoying freshman! And the breaks are 8 minutes long between classes.
^_^ I'm getting really excited about Stanwood, yeah it would be a bummer without me buds (*gets out ale* I'm gonna miss you guys! *hiccup*) *can't figure out how to write slurred words T_T*

The roof of the new house sucks. Wonderful rotting woodiness!
And the owner of the home is a old guy. A kinda mean old man. He thinks he owns the best home in the world. But what that means is that if the roof is really shot, the old guy isn't going to lower his price. Depending how bad off the roof is, my parents won't buy the house! Complete and utter W00TAGE!!
*dances*
I don't think that I'd like Stanwood all that much, I'm not Scandinavian.... Uff Da my ass.
I don't even know what that means! :p
The backup plan is a house that hasn't been built yet. Its in Arlington (Thank God). But the living rooms are really small apparently. My parents want to meet the builder and see if they can reach a compromise.
In other news, I want a scanner dammit. I should just email the school or something, see if they have any old ones that they want to give away. (key word: give)

02:49 pm - Congratulations...
I just found out that I might be moving! The might is slowing turning into a sure thing. I'll probably go to Lakewood or Stanwood High or something. Its that far out. *sobs*
At least its not as far out as Tajikistan or something.. *ponders*
The house is nice, really nice. It was funny though. My parents asked me what I though of it and I answered "The husband of the house is whipped." Its a victorian, outside and inside.. The poor man has to sleep in a pink room!
There is room for a family room where the formal dining room is so I might have a reason to invite people over. ^_^ The yard is big and I love where my future bedroom might be.
I just really don't want to move to another school. At my old school in Duvall, I didn't make any friends that lasted more than 2 months. Until the year I moved. That was hard. Then I move up here and life is wonderful. Its kinda interesting that I lived in Duvall for 6 years and here for 6 nearly 7 years.

08:45 pm - My hands are cold...
Damn my hands are cold a lot. I need to wear gloves... Like cool gloves. Not the winter kind, its hard to type, write, a lot of stuff. The guitar strings are eating the flesh off my fingertips. Yum. I don't think that live flesh would taste good, but I'm not a guitar string so I wouldn't really know. My birthday is in 5 days. Yay! But I get to celebrate it a day earlier because my dad gets to go to my cousin's wedding. YAY! I want to go. *sob* I havn't seen most of my relatives since I was a 4th grader...
That was a long time ago...
She's cool though, she's a twin. My only twin cousin. Maybe I'll have twins. (God I hope not, stupid brats)
I really want to see Anchorman. I'm sorry, its Comedy Central's fault. Will Ferrel is a funny guy, I remember seeing people in my drama class acting out his cheerleader skit.
Current Mood: ![[mood icon]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/mood/neko/kaokitty/cold.gif) My family makes fun of me...
Current Music: Dave Matthews. Again. Can't wait till I get some new stuff..

I am officially an Idiot.
An Idiot is someone completely stupid.
I use it as an insult. Not as a joke.
*sighs*
*slammes head onto desk repeatedly*
*desks breaks*
Yeah. I'm hopeless...

08:22 pm - Wahh!
Stupid sexist Japanese people at natsume!
They have a new Harvest Moon game out for gameboy called Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.
Its for guys. Meaning that you play as a guy character only and marry a girl.
The girls version doesn't come out until Sept. 4
The guys version has been out since March.
*sobs uncontrollably and falls into convulsions*
I heard a qoute from the message boards at GameFaqs.com
I should take up smoking, I'm sure I'd find it much less addictive. ~ Nathan R Rork on Harvest Moon: FoMT
Current Mood: I really really want it!
