Ben sat under the Christmas Tree, all his presents around him, piles of discarded paper needing to be put into garbage bags. As always, being an only child and spoiled by his mother in every way, Ben got basically everything he had asked Santa for.

But of course that meant the floor around him was full of video games, movies and cd's. Some toy cars (vintage muscle cars only!) and even an Ipod! But he couldn't play with everything at once, and his mother was watching something on tv with a few friends so he couldn't even play his games.

Instead, he sat with a Magic Eight Ball on his lap, a gift from his aunt Betty. He tossed it up in the air a few times, then shook it while he asked a question:

"Did my mom like her Christmas presents?" Yes responded the eight ball.

"Will I get to beat Ryan's score on Heavenly Swords?" No responded the ball.

Ben sighed, shaking the ball absently as he thought up another question. "Will I ever get to see Dean again?" he asked softly. Try again later. Not satisfied with the answer, Ben shook the ball and asked again, only to get the same reply. Two, three more times he tried, and only saw the Try again later as the answer.

"This thing blows," he stated, and tossed the magic eight ball behind him into the pile of paper, then grabbed a game for his Nintendo DS and started to play. Who expects one of those pieces of crap to really be able to tell the future anyway?

I know Dean and Sam said that they were gone, but sometimes... sometimes I still get scared. And I know it's stupid and I'm NOT a scardy cat.

But, like the other night the wind was really bad, and I couldn't go to sleep because the tree branch kept hitting the window glass and it sounded just like what that thing made to make me open the window. I wanted to see what the noise was and then the next thing I know this freaky thing grabs me around my neck and pulls me out of the window. I hit my head somewhere because I woke up in that cage.

So when the wind is blowing and I hear things hitting my window, I get scared. Because it's dark outside, and I can't see what's making the noise. I know it's the tree, but still.

I think Mom understands it though when I end up in bed with her on those nights. She just kisses my head and tells me that it's ok and that I'm safe and holds me until I'm asleep.

So for Christmas, I'm singing in the school choir. I don't want to, but my teacher is making me because it's our grade's year to sing.

Let me tell you, it really sucks. I mean, big time suck. Ryan can't sing even if you did some magic spell to turn him into, like, Justin Timberlake or something. I think he broke the music room's window yesterday!

I have to sing Silent Night. And it's so slow and boring and my teacher keeps yelling at me to control myself and stand still! But it's SOOOOOOOOO boring. Why can't like those guys who do the music for that christmas light house write this song?

You know, these guys:

And what's a round yon virgin anyway? Seriously. It makes NO SENSE!

But Mom says I have to do it, and if I do a good job, there might be an extra present under the tree for me. Hell yeah, if there's more presents involved, I'll stand still and sing the stupid song.

When was the last time I needed a camera? Right then! I mean, seriously, I got to meet LARA. CROFT. I got to talk to her and got her autograph and everything! She even said that she would come to MY HOUSE if I had a HALO party.

BUT NO ONE BELIEVES ME! Ryan says I'm an idiot for thinking that she's real, but I really did meet her. I really did. I GOT PROOF! Go click on that link! You'll see I really did meet her.

... I really did.

... and she's just as hot as the games show her being.

But Ryan says that people who talk on the internet aren't the people that they say they are. He says they pretend to be the people that others would like when they are really just fat people living in basements.

But I talk on the internet. And I'm not fat or living in a basement. So why can't it really have been real.

That's why I need a picture next time. So I can prove that she's real, and then I can make Ryan feel stupid for doubting that Lara is real.

She is real. And she talked to me. Stupid Ryan.

"Hey MOM!"

"Don't yell through the house, Ben."

"Sorry. Mom, what does this word mean?" Ben held up a piece of paper with the word INTRIGUE written on it in his messy handwriting.

"... where are you getting all these big words from lately, sweetie?"

"Online. I was... doing my homework, yeah... and the website had this word on it. What does it mean?"

"It means to be curious about something."

"Curious?" He was still a bit confused. "Can you use it in a sentence? Miss Miller always puts new words in sentences so we understand them."

His mother smiled. "Ok. The young boy, while watching his mom cook dinner, was intrigued by what she was putting into the pot."

"OH!" Ben bounced, understanding. "I got it! Thanks Mom!"

He turned and ran back upstairs, ignoring his mother's shouts about running through the house as he went back to his laptop.

Intrigue means being curious about stuff, at least that's what my mom says. I'm always curious. I mean, how you gonna learn about things if you aren't? I really like learning about cars. I want to know how they work, and how all those parts go together. I want to make my own car, but mom says I need to wait until High School. I'm also curious about why people like black liqorish (how the hell do you spell that work anyway?). I mean, i got so much of it on Halloween, and that stuff just sucks. Ew. Why do they even make it?

How should I know?! LIFE's a GIRL'S game. They sit there for hours spinning that stupid wheel and moving those stupid cars around and putting in dumb little pegs and pretending to have husbands and kids.

It's a stupid game. It's not like HALO. Now HALO is a fun game. You go around shooting things and doing missions... so much better than naming babies and trying to get a big house.

Why do girls like stupid games like that anyway? They would be so much cooler if they played HALO. Yeah, that would be freaken awesome. Chicks with guns are totally hot. That chick in TOMB RAIDER, for instance. Totally cool.

That and swords. I have yet to see a non-hot chick with a sword. Any chick that can go up to a zombie and cut it's head off is just made of awesome.

Girls should stop playing stupid games like LIFE, and play with swords. Then maybe they wouldn't be so lame.

So, this is what happened. I'm walking home from school, listening to my brand new cd player with my brand new AC/DC cd in it, when stupid Ryan and his stupid friends corner me against the fence.

"What you listening to?" Ryan asked me. "None of your business," I told him.

That was when he took the cd player from me, and his friends held me against the fence while he put my headphones on his ugly head and started to listen to it. "This is cool. Thanks, sucka," he said.

Now, I could have gone over and kicked him where I shouldn't, but after the way Mom yelled at me that one time, I can't do that again or I'll lose my Wii. Plus I hear Ryan wears a cup now, so it won't do any good.

I got home, and Mom asked me where my cd player was. "Lost it," I muttered, and went to my room.

Couple of days later, I came home and it was on the table. Mom said that Ryan's mom found it and brought it back, and that I need to keep a better eye on it next time.

ooc: no spoilers...

What does that word mean? I can't even say it! And there's all those funny things on top of the letters and it really looks like someone forgot how to write.

And I can't write five topics! I have homework and video games to play. Anyway, that poem is too long and confusing and talks about things I don't think my mom would want me writing about. And that quote has lots of bad words in it, and talks about love. Dean's daddy was trying to tell me what love is about, but I just don't get it. He said I'll understand when I'm older though. Old like Sam!

I can't see video because my Mom has these parent controls on my laptop that I can't see the video. What's You Tube anyway? Ryan talks about it at school about how he watches people who get hurt doing stupid things on it.

And a food I'd never eat? I eat anything! Why would I not want to eat something? Well, just as long as it's not brussel sprouts. Those are just awful, but mom doesn't make them anymore so I don't have to worry about that.

So I guess that leaves me with the picture of the stupid birds. But it's kinda creepy how they are all black and the sky is purple and the full moon. it makes me think about halloween! Halloween is coming up and I'm going to dress up like a soldier. Chicks like soldiers, right? And I'm gonna get alot of candy and Dakota's mom is making cupcakes for school. It's going to be so awesome!

Ew. Waking up as a girl is so not cool. I mean, then I'd be wanting to play with ponies and have tea parties and dress up in frilly things. No way. Not me. I'd rather be watching them on the swingset after school then letting any of them even think of trying to paint my nails.

Of course, if I was a girl, maybe they'd invite me over to a sleepover. I wouldn't mind that too much. Though they would probably make me watch some dumb Disney Princess movie. Unless I can convince them to watch Cars. I liked that one.

No, I wouldn't like waking up as a girl. I'm much happier just watching them from the other side of the playground.
