About Me: Togira Ikonka, that is from the Inheritance Triology, or Eragon, Eldest,( the third one is going to be called Brisingr not Empire) my name means "the Cripple Who is Whole in the Ancient Language.

SPOILERS!!:

Ok, now that i have given you fair warning, I will give my personal opinion of Brisingr!!

I have to say that this book was the first that i EVER got on the first day it came out. im personally pretty proud of my self. kinda sad, aint it? mkay on to the real review: After that horrendous excuse of a book (Breaking Dawn) I was beginning to get a little paranoid that Paolini would let me and my fellow fans down. Luckily, he didn't. =) I honestly forgot how much i truly loved that 'cycle'. I haven't reread either of the other books so i kinda forgot what it was like to be in Alegeasia. IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING!! to be back in all of their heads. There were even two chapters of us in Saphira's pov and a couple of pages in Gleadr. they did funny hyphonated things like cloth-that-Eragon-rides-on whilst refering to his saddle. Kinda wierd, but cool!!

Brisingr was definatly different from it's sequels in the fact that Paoloni all of a sudden decided to grace us with lovely descriptions of gore and death and all of that scrumtiouse stuff. For example: Galbatorix decides that he is going to bewitch a number of his soldiers so that they don't feel pain. SOOOOO they wont die. The Empires soldiers would stabbed in the throat and then they would just LAUGH at you!! They like, coughed up blood and laughed and there were even a couple of men running around who had the skin of his face like falling off cuz the Varden was tying to kill him. Lets just say that there were many grimaces and shudders on my part.

OH. So if you don't want THE WHOLE BOOK RUINED TURN AWAY!!

So I died. Togira Ikonka and Gleadr died. Galbatorix somehow contolled Thorn and Murtagh and he killed them. BUT!! Thorn prolly doesnt have a tail now cuz Gleadr is just that kick butt and bit it off =0. My namesake is dead. But it was to b expected. Obi Won died so Orimos died too. and i wont give you all of the details but Gleadr is still technically alive although his body is dead. But i wont delve any further than that...

I think my personal favorite part of the book was either when Eragon and Arya were in the desert and were Bonding (like she was actually taliking about herself she sctually CRIED. TWICE.) or when Eragon was looking for his new weapon. Eragon's lack of brains kinda ticked me off cuz he ran aound with a magically reinforced stick to kill the Ra'zack, and then when it broke he thought it may be appropriat to PUNCH things. it was pretty pathetic if you ask me...

hmmm, i don't really want to ruin the whole book so if you want to continue the convo feel free, cuz i wanted to discuss Nasueda's and Arya's relationship with Eragon cuz there were some love pangs on Nasueda's part. BUT NOT TO ERAGON. but just the fact that she wouldn't mind haveing somebody.

OH and there is Roran and Katrina. There were some pretty good wedding jokes towards Roran. =)

Favorite Authers Brian Jacques, Christopher Paolini, Ann Rinaldi, Erin Hunter,

Hobbies: Reading, Writing, Video Games, Piano, Listen to Music, Watch T.V, Being Bored( you get REALLy good ideas when your bored)

Current Projects: Im working on a Skybreaker (Kenneth Oppel) fic. But it isn't going to be up for a looong while because i want to get the WHOLE thing written so i don't screw myself up plotwise. So because i am a procrastinator don't look for it any time soon. OVERVIEW: it is definatly going to be a little strange at first, Matt gets into some trouble with an Aerozoan on the Saga and that definatly changes his life forever...And Kate is just as innovative as ever. She is propsing a solution to the lack of Aruba fuel and the acidic rain in the rainforest (think like Grunnel...i think thats his name...) Nadira will be in it along with some OC's but it wont be too bad.

My other one is the 100 themes challenge for Avatar the Last Airbender. So that one is going to take a while because I havent had much inspiration lately...But we will see what i come up with!!

There are so many people who have never been to see a musical or play, and so many high and middle schools who focus more on sports than the Arts. If we didn't have arts then their would be no TV, because we wouldn't have actors, and no TV means no movies. Theater, Dance, Band, Acting, Singing, and the rest of the Arts are a important part of our community too! Support the Arts! If you agree that the Arts should be supported and appreciated just as much as sports are then add your name to the end of this and post it on your profile, please.

Beloved Actor, Father, and Husband
We will remember you.

Leaves from the vine,
Falling so slow,
Like fragile, tiny shells,
Drifting in the foam,
Little soldier boy,
Comes marching home,
Brave soldier boy,
Come marching home.

About 160,440 people die of lung cancer each year. About 85 percent of those people are smokers. Copy and paste in your profile if you think smoking should be made illegal.

For me, crazy is a loose term.

Crazy is when you stare at a pencil and laugh when someone asks you what you are doing that is so interesting about the eraser. Crazy is when you have an hour-long sob fest, and then start singing and dancing when your favorite song comes on. Crazy is when you do or say a completely random thing, like "Do you ever wonder where the eraser bits go?" or having a thumbwar with yourself. Crazy is when you type up all your favorite sayings, print them off and tape them to your wall, just for something to do. Crazy is when you laugh about how you laugh. Crazy is when you read books of essays over a book you like. Crazy is when you chase a random person all over the place and then say "Tag You're it!" when you finally catch them. Crazy is when you break your foot at your church's camp. Crazy is when you: put five intertubes, a baby intertube on your head, one noodle under each arm, a noodle in between your legs, have a snorkle and goggles on, jump in the pool, and make up a random story about a guy who is scared of drowning at his hotel pool in Hawii. Crazy is when you run around with a baby's lifesaver shaped pool floatie on your head yelling 'Look at my Sombrero!' Crazy is when you attempt to recreate the AMAZING Agni Kai and the lightining bit inbetween Azula and Zuko by yourself during a commercial break... If you're crazy, copy this onto your profile and add something crazy you've done to the list!

If, with no warning, you have laughed during a movie part that wasn't funny.-- During the end of The Notebook when they died i laughed. I dont know, why but i did!

If you have ever gotten so completely sidetracked in a conversation that you don't remember why you were talking in the first place.

If you would die for your faith.

If you have ever forgotten your name while introducing yourself.

If you've ever walked into a window (it's invisible, gosh! That streak-free window cleaner works too well!).

If you've ever fallen up the stairs

If you've ever seen an adult use slang and it freaked you out.

I Went to a Party Mom --by Unknown

I went to party mom, and remembered when you said
you told me not to drink, so I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself, the way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive, though some friends would

I made healthy choices, and your advice to me was right.
The party finally ended and the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car, sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, mom,
something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement, and I hear the policemen say,
the kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems so far away.

My own blood's all around me, as I try hard not to cry,
I can hear the paramedics say, this girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no idea, while he was flying high
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, mom, knowing it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me, like a hundred stubbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, tell daddy to be brave,
And when I go to Heaven,
Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Some one should have taught him, that is wrong to drink and drive,
Maybe if his parents had, I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, mom,
I'm getting really scared,
these are my final moments, and I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me mom,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say "I love you, mom!"

so I love you and good-bye...

When you have an
' I Hate My Job Day'

Try this:

On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson

Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed.

Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.

Now the fun part begins .

Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully You will notice that in small print there is a statement:

'Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized. '

Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, 'I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson & Johnson.'

HAVE A NICE DAY AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE BUTT THAN YOURS!

Intermezzo

Oh give me a home

Where the sky bison roam

And the monks and the airbenders play

When the world was still free

While The Fire Nation seethed,

And the Avatar kept them at bay.

Gone, gone are the days

When the monks and the airbenders play

But a century’s gone by

And a hero shall rise

And the Avatar’s saving the day.

This is from AStormisBrewing most recent chapter Intermezzo from her collection of drabbles: The World According to Martial. I was truly moved by this (I actually cried 'caus im a big Dork) But it is just so sad... really, it is
