 -Odd- Name: Odd
Birthday: May 10, 2004
Gender: Male
Marrital Status: Single
Description: Maroon based pelt, with silver striped tail, and silver fore and footpaws, as well as silver ears. Uncracked skull.
Likes: Spoons, gold finches, plushies.
Dislikes: Not really sure...
Personality: To most it seems as though Odd is just a foolish, hyperactive, carefree child. But he really has some emotional depth, and goes into depressions every now and then. Though they all have gone away, but they all have been hard to get him out of. He gets angry sometimes, when he feels that a friend has been tricked or hurt, and he explodes. But most of the time he's happy. I ((Azurai)) wonder if it's just an act.-Photos-   -Azurai- Name: Azurai
Birthday: September 14th, 1990
Gender: Female
Marrital Status: Single
Description: Blue hair, gray eyes, and stunning white teeth. biggrin
Likes: Blue, dogs, makou, video games.
Dislikes: Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff, some forms of ravioli, bleu cheese, the color olive.
Personality: Very social, but kind of a shady character at times. Either socializing at an event, Rping, or wandering around a lab somewhere. Depressed? No one's sure.-Photos-

  That's Tifa, the eldest of the family. She's a wonderful Jivvin, and is very smart, but also has a quick temper and is rather stubborn sometimes. She's very defensive of Odd and her other siblings. It's the cutest thing. n_n
This is Vincent, or Vince for short, who's another of the eldest. He's almost like a guardian to the little ones, though he's too proud and cool to admit it. But deep down he loves the little guys. heart
This is Aerith, my Dream. She's a wonderful and graceful influence on Odd and the kids, and I love her. She often perches on my shoulder while I walk around the house, and makes conversation with me to keep me company. She's a sweety, and will quietly watch over Odd from certain perches. Such a motherly figure. blaugh
 
These two Zoolies, brother and sister ((red=Sam, brown/green=Shoo-Shoo)), are always chittering around and climbing up trees. They greatly amuse Odd with acorn wars and always assist him in his pranks on Vince and Tifa. The little tricksters can be quite the terrors, but everyone loves them.
That's Jadzia, the Boxar. Dang has she been chattering since she came out of her box! She takes after Tifa, in the sense that she's headstrong and stubborn, but not quite as witty. Twice as proud, though, and confident. They're a pair, those two.
This is Felirin, the Drago Uccello, a dragon bird kinda thing. I always snuggle his little heart out. He's a sweet heart, and rather young, but as dragons are alledgedly wise, he holds authority and knowledge over the little guys. He makes me smile.
This is Rock, a somewhat small dragon. He's still bigger than me, and he tends to hang out with Felirin a lot. The two are rather chummy about they're dragon-ness. n.n
This is Des, still in his egg form. He mainly stays on a chair by the window all day. We really don't know much about him, but sometimes when I come up to him he'll make some kind of weird sound.

 -Odd- Essence is a great friend of mine...I really don't know what I'd do without her. She's such a kind, caring person, and she's really smart. I reall don't know what I'd do.-Azurai- This is Moofuls, a really good friend of mine, and the creator of Jivvins. She's always plotting up fun, evil stuff... whee
Ry`nime is another one of my oldest and greatest friends. She's always there for me, will always have my back, and is always giving me gifts. ^_^; She's sweet.
This is Rogue Roxness, ANOTHER great friend. Whewt, I have a lot of these. xd She's so quirky and fun, and is always up for something new. She's really fun to just...talk to.
This is Zeejay, shared creator of Sea Monkeys ((under construction)). She's really funny, and often has something random and fun to say. Fun to just hang out with.

 These are gifts from people who are AWESOME and INCREDIBLE and who I LOVE.
This is from Emelyn. I love her. She's so awesome, and just about the sweetest person I've ever met. She gave me this little picture when it was announced that I was the one chosen to adopt Odd. Throughout all my struggles she always wanted to help me get a SM. Thank you, Em. I love you. crying
This is from Jen ((Keeper: Keppit)) for Odd. Since I told her that Odd's favorite animal was a gold finch and that he loved spoons, she made a gold finch holding two spoons. Odd was absolutely delighted with the puppet. Thank you Jen! ^_^
This is a little yellow Shinebot, from Evus. It's SO cute, isn't it!? Odd likes to wind it up and watch it hop around the room and shine it's little heart out. I find it rather adorable as well. biggrin

This is not Odd, but Azurai. The poor little guy is muttering and whimpering things. I brought him into the house and put him in his room on his bed. He woke up and when he saw his siblings yelped and started murmuring things, looking around. I'll try to write them down. Here goes-
Where am I? What's going on?! Mommy, mommy where are you?! I don't know where I am...Mommy! It's cold in here, and I don't like it. There is strangers everywhere, all staring at me. Let me go! Where am I? Mommy!
-Odd
I put my arms around him until he stopped mumbling and shooed the rest of my pets out. That night I slept with him, in his room, constantly reassuring him that I was his mommy, and that I was here. I do hope he'll wake up okay tomorrow...I love him, and I hope he doesn't hate me...

This morning I woke up with my arms still around Odd. I let go of him and sat up, and noticed he was sleeping peacefully, no muttering or shivering, and that his breathing was steady. I went to go get his pill for the morning, and returned with the capsule and a glass of water. I gently tapped the little guy on the head. He woke up slowly, and blinked at me a few times. "Mommy?" he asked, and I nodded, almost in tears. I beamed at him and put down the pill and the water, hugging Odd. In spite of his infant physique, the little mind had recognized me as his mother now. And I am so happy to be his mom. As a matter of fact, I'm making waffles this morning!
-Azurai

I can't believe it! These past days I have been dealing with maybe my exact twin! ...Which can be a good and a bad thing. Anyways, once Odd got used to the fact that he had siblings of many a different breed, he was recieved with a very warm welcome, of which I am very proud. My eldest Tifa and my second eldest Vince have promised to babysit when I'm not around, for which I am most pleased. They only made this promise, however, after peeking in on a scene and eavesdropping like they weren't supposed to.
The other night I was rocking Odd to sleep as usual, singing to him. For the nights before I had slept in the same bed as him to keep him company in the new house. But that night I lay him down in his bed, tucked him in, and left the room to go to my own bed ((after all, it was 10:30, and I had had a long day)). But I had not been sitting there 5 minutes when I heard a wailing from Odd's room. Fearing that something had happened to him, I ran to his room ((right next to mine)) and opened the door to see Odd cowering under the sheets, sobbing. "What's wrong?" I asked and sat down on the bed next to him. I reached out to pick him up and put him on my lap but he shrunk away.
"Y-you le-eft m-me," he stuttered through his choked sobs. I shook my head. Left him? My room was across a five foot long hall facing his! I had been maybe ten feet away and he claimed I had left him? Why?
"What do you mean? I was right over there," I said and pointed out the door to my own room. He shook his head, still sobbing. He buried his face in the covers.
"Y-you w-weren't c-c-coming b-back," he struggled with the words. This time he let me pick him up. I hugged him to me, rocking him back and forth.
"Odd, I am your mother, and I would never do such a thing! I love you with all my heart, and I promise that I will never leave you and not come back. You can trust that I will always come back." I tried coaxing into him letting me leave, if only to get some tissues, but he would not let me go until he was asleep. I went to the door to get a sleeping bag so I could stay in his room and found it open a crack. I opened it up and found outside my two eldest, both with a surprised look. I boxed both their ears for eavesdropping, but secretly I was glad they had listened.
"Fear of abandonment," Tifa suggested. I had to agree. It seemed like the only reason he would start crying if I left him alone would be fear of being neglected again, and furthermore abandoned to the adoption agency back at HQ. I grabbed my sleeping bag, pillow, and blanket, and sent the duo back up to their beds. They volunteered to babysit Odd when they could, and I accepted the offer. In exchange, there was no punishment for listening in on a conversation. But now I know that until Odd reaches a point in time when he feels brave enough to be on his own, I'll have to stay with him and keep him company. I don't really mind though. After all, it's so amazing to have the feeling of a parent. I'm teary-eyed already.

Mum is now doing this thing on all my entries she calls 'spell check'. If I ever need to know how to spell a word, I look it up in this weird little book called a 'dictionary'. She says that it'll help me to practice my spelling, and that I'll get better at it as time goes along. It may look like I've done this all perfectly, but believe me, I have to keep going back and keep going back and checking my spelling for things I'm not sure about. She's also been teaching me to read lately. She's reading me these weird books. The first one she read was my favorite. It's called Where The Wild Things Are.
It's about this kid Max and how he becomes the king of all wild things! I want to be a wild thing too, just like Max! The other one she read to me was this book called The Pirate Queen.
This reminds me of this older skull monkey named Mauli, who's a pirate too. She gave me a spoord, which is a spoon/sword! I love it, and every time mum reads me the story I'm reminded of her! She and the character in the Pirate Queen are both really awesome.
Mum put this weird thing outside my room that attracts those birds I really like...Gold Finches? I think that's what they're called. She's calls the weird thing a 'bird feeder', and says that it gives the birds plenty of food to eat and that they'll always be outside my room. She told me that when I wake up, I might see some birds outside my window. Oops, I gotta go, mom's calling me for dinner!

Last night was amazing. I'm still sleeping in the same room as Odd, but last night he was especially restless. I don't know why, but I'm guessing Tifa let him have a few too many cookies when she babysat today. Either way, he was practically bouncing around the room, yelling at 11:00 at night, and keeping myself and the house up. I was getting a headache, so I put a CD into the boom box so I could center myself and try to calm Odd down. As soon as the song Kryptonite came on, Odd just stopped jumping on his bed and lay down, staring calmly. He smiled and shut his eyes, and in a few brief songs he was asleep! I couldn't believe my eyes. For days I had been trying to find something other than his pill that could calm him down, and I had found nothing so far.
And yet here it was! Music! Music was the key! He was rocking to the beat as he fell asleep. I put the song on repeat and slid into my sleeping bag. In a few minutes we were both fast asleep, and soon after the rest of the household. I'm ecstatic. Every time I find out something similar between myself and Odd ((like the fact that music lulls the both of us to sleep)), I feel like our bond grows stronger.
I don't know why, but lately I've been feeling like we've got this spiritual bond thing. Something like Zen or Chi or one of those spiritual connections. I know it sounds crazy, but I almost consider him my son. I love being a mom.

Today mommy took me to a place she calls 'Headquarters', which is a place where all the skull monkeys can come. It's really cool, and I met this skull monkey named Essence. She has a really pretty coat. It's all different colors and tye-dye and stuff like that, and she's got this skull, and her skull's got a crack on it. Whenever I come to HQ, if she's there, she'll always scruff up my hair, and I look silly, but I don't mind. She also told me a story about spoons, and even gave me a spoon! It's a good spoon, really shiny and good to bite.
I told her about the Fold Ginch...no, wait...Gold Finch! that my mom told me about. She thought it was funny when I said it. I don't know why. She's always reading books and stuff, so she can most of the time correct me when I say something wrong, and she's really really really really smart. I like her. She's nice to me. And her skull is REALLY pretty. I want to grow up, so I can have a skull like Essence. I keep poking my head, but it's never hard. I wish I could grow and have a pretty skull like Essence.
Mum took me into the back yard and showed me this little patch of things she calls flowers. They were all really colorful pretty, and mom arranged them and called it a 'garden'. She told me not to touch some of them, though, because they have bees around them. I touched one of the bad ones and a bee flew out and stung my paw. It really really hurt, and mommy had me put cold ice on it for a while. She said the 'stinger' didn't get stuck, which she said was good, and she sent me inside. It hurts to use my pencil to write, so I'm trying with my other paw. My writing's really weird looking, and I have to correct my spelling a lot, but I'm getting better.
I saw another Gold Finch today! But it wasn't quite as bright a gold on it's head. I asked mum why it looked so not bright, and she said it's because that's the female, and the females aren't really that bright colored. So now I can tell the difference. I really like Gold Finches.
Well, I gotta go. Mum's calling me.

Whoo, school's coming up fast. Lovely weather in Maryland, though. It's been mid 70s, cool, not humid, and overall LOVELY. Okay, now to talk about what really matters: ODD. xd
The little guy is quite a learner, once you get him to focus on something. I try to teach him things, and if he ever gets to hyper, I make sure to have a CD player and headphones nearby. He's calm almost immediately; it's amazing.
I peek in at his log every now and then, and he really works hard on his spell checking. I'm impressed, and I have to say, proud of my little Oddball ((some pun intended, I s'pose whee )). He's fitting in perfectly with the family, and Tifa and Vince are happy to babysit now. His abandonment phobia has made no progress whatsoever, though. Maybe when's he's a child he will enjoy the time alone, but right now, unless he's the one to leave, he hates being alone. It scares me how freaked out he gets when Tifa or Vince leave the room. I tell them not to worry, but sometimes I get a little worried myself. I'm sure Odd will be fine though. And I will be with there to help him every step of the way, I have promised him.
I really like keeping a log about him. It's fun to babble on and on about how proud I am of my skull monkey, and there's no one here to tell me to shut up! biggrin Very fun for a chatter like me. Not many of my pets like to go out with me, which is one of the reasons why I love Odd. He will take walks with me in the woods, go outside and look at birds or help me with my garden, and sometimes will try to play video games with me ((his paws have some trouble with the controls heart )). He's the only one who hasn't outgrown me yet. ;_;
Man, I love having a little one again...the rest of 'em are growing/grown up, and only come back to me for advice every now and then. But Odd will always be there with me, always admiring me. I know it sounds selfish, but it's a good feeling. I wish it could stay like this forever...but I know that hogging him and not letting him grow would be even more selfish...When I think about that, I always say to myself that when I finally see Odd as a handsome adult skull monkey that I will never once wish he turn back into an infant...For then I will be a proud parent. Heck, I already am.

Today mum took me out into the forest! It's filled with a lot of really tall trees. Mum brought this little book with her that has pictures of leaves that you can identify trees with. There were all these trees called oaks, which were really really big, and had leaves with a lot of little pointies. There were these ones called sweet gums, that dropped these prickly little balls called gumballs. There was also a tree that was all white and small and weird looking. Mum called it a birch. I think birches are weird. But we saw some birds while we were out there! And I found something.
It's this little rock, with all these pretty colors. Mum says that it's a real special rock, and I think so too! It's this light red little rock, and when I scratch it on stuff the red comes off and is like a pencil and I can draw stuff with it. I'm making a collection, you know! I've also got a little rock that mum found when she was out by the 'beach' ((I don't know what a beach is, but mum says she'll show me soon)). It's a bunch of different colors! It's got a green, a blue, a white, and a little bit of red. I also found this white rock that was split in half, and it had these little crystal thingies inside. Mum called it 'quartz'. I think it's a rock.
Mum also went out one day and came back with a little set of these really really cool spoons. They're made of wood, and painted! Mum said that they're really special, and that I shouldn't chew on 'em. So I put them on my table and I don't touch them. I just look at them. I like to chew on the ones from mum's drawer and the one from Essence. Those are good to chew on.
I also met this skull monkey named Mauli. She looks like mum, but she swears she's a skull monkey. She's a pirate, and I wanna be just like her! She's got this really cool wooden sword, and she's really awesome! She also talks a lot about this guy Isto. I want to meet Isto, because his name is funny. It sounds like someone said his toe.
I'm tired, and mum says it's past my bedtime. Good night!
