w00t!
I finally got around to making a new layout..and lets just say this layout is special to me,not only cause I made the background (Go Brushes!) but because I accidently deleted all the info for it once I was done and had to recode the fracking thing again! You have no idea how po'd I was! I actually cried!
Bleh I cut this layout up so it would load quicker for dial-up connectors, and might add some music to it later on and possibly some picture of Shanty, Stephanie, and Mitsuki if they say its okay~ ~_^
I cant believe I never posted while Shanty and Steph where here in the US! Gah! Its been quite thought since they left, Shanty use to talk constantly, but thats what made her so cool! And Stephanie was kinda quite but she never could pass up teasing Shanty, they acted like sisters, man I miss them, have to email them sometime!
Mitsuki is cool, she even let me try on a yukata(after Shanty, Stephanie, Anna, and my mom said I should. I felt so embarrassed in it! I could barely breathe in that thing! It was like a corset! I have new found respect for anyone that can where a yukata or kimono and not complain!).
I feel bad for writing about the girls in here, mostly because I never gave them my blod address and secondly because I dont know if they want me to talk about them in here or not...another thing I should probably email and ask them...but until I can get the chance Im going to post this post and hope they dont mind but if they do this will come down. =)
Night all!
Oyasuminasai!

Nameless, begining.
I have no idea where this came from, my muses just apparently showed up for no reason and blind-sided me with this little piece of....of well, stil not quite sure what its suppose to be, its PWP or a WTF, or whatever you want to call. Also dont expect it to go anywhere, its just an idea that my muses gave me and would not leave me alone till it was wrote out..
So for your enjoyment the nameless piece of drabble that will most likely never amount to anything other then...what it is now? heh...
Twelve year old Nicole Ann Jackson gazed up at the brightly shining stars with a small smile gracing her cherry plump lips. She had always been mystified by the stars, how they always shone along side one another, never being complete with-out its brethren. She had always been jealous of the stars and how together they completed the vast expansive that was the universe.
Choking back her tears, she slowly brought her hand up to her bruised eye. Why couldn't she be apart of something like that? Why was she destined to be alone? Her parents didn't want her, her friends didn't need her...
Rolling over, onto her side she stared out over the vast city lights of Colorado Springs. She just..."I don't want to be alone anymore." Nicole whispered despondently while staring out at the city she would forever loath...
Up in the star littered sky a bright, unknown, object flashed across the sky before disappearing.
~*~*~*~*~
"Nicole time fore breakfast!"
Twitching her eyes the brown haired girl groaned before slowly turning over, wincing as her movements aggravated her sore body.
"Nicole!" The voice shouted again this time closer.
Slowly opening her tired eyes, she blinked a couple of times allowing her eyes to adjust to the bright light that filled her vision. Bringing a hand up to her deep chestnut eyes she slowly, gently, rubbed her eyes to try and wake herself up.
"Nicole?" There was a hint of worry in her callers voice causing the girls ears to perk.
"Mama?" She whispered slowly moving to a sitting position, allowing her a chance to get a look at her surroundings. The morning sun shone high in the east, signaling the start of a new day, while the trees around her house rustled in the gentle fall wind. I fell asleep outside?
"Nicole Where Are You!?" Panic now filled the callers voice causing Nicole to stand on shaky feet and head to the edge of the roof. Looking out of the edge of the two story building she quickly lowered herself off the side and into her room window.
"Mama?" She questioned as she slowly scanned her room for any sign of her mothers presence. "Im in my room!" She hollered out as she heard foot falls begin their descent towards her room causing her to smile, she knew it was a rare occasion when her parents got home before she was already gone to school. Though she knew they didn't have much time fore her it was nice to feel wanted.
Her hopes were short lived though when her room door opened to reveal her nanny, Clara. Looking down at the floor she sighed.
Clara was a sixty year old widow. She was short, plump, and the kindest woman you could ever know, though could be stern if needed. Nicole liked her, she was like her second mother, heck for the first couple of years of her life she thought she was her mom!
"There you are child! You had me worried...honey...is everything alright?" Kneeling down in front of her charge she brushed some the girls chin length brown haired out of her eyes. "Your eye still bothering you? Do you want to stay home today?"
Shaking her head she smiled at the woman's concern. "No Im fine just...I thought..nevermind, I have to get ready for school."
Clara smiled back before nodding, "Alright hurry up then I hear your parents should be back from their business trip tonight."
Goodie.

Damn you muses! Damn you!
Anyways, this was not spell checked, just 'cause I didn't feel like, hehe. Anyways have a good night all and a happy weekend!

Ignore the Mess
As stated I didn't really like the green layout so I vetoed that and went for purple. Though it looks like a mess right now I still have some codes to get sorted out, like the left sided scroll bar I need to some how figure out how to get that to work for my tables div.
Anyways, I saw the second? episode of The 4400 second season and I think I screwed myself over. Im not exactly sure whats going on, apparently Lilly and Richards daughter can control people, something about her killing three guys in the woods, so her and her parents are on the run. Mia has apparently been adopted by Diana and Jordan is like the Magneto of the bad guys talking about how a war is coming and how this mind reader guy shouldn't be on the wrong side...Gods Im so confused as to whats going in this series, I hope they show reruns sometimes so I can get caught up!

It's Summer, but not really...
I really envy those of you that are actually out of school, Im so far behind that I cant even see the finish line. I have finished Sociology and Skills for Success but I still have three subjects to finish before Im offically on Summer Break!
ARG!!!!!!
I was going so good there for awhile I was half-way through my English but then I started my new job as a Dietary Aide and then we had to move and so somewhere along the line school got put on the back burner, and I really shouldn't have allowed that to happen, but it did, and now Im paying for it.
Good news though, Anna, one of my moms friends, possibly long lost sister?, is getting to exchange students for the summer One from Japan and the other from Indonesia. So I SO cant wait for that! I might actually have a friend from Japan and maybe one from Indonesia!! Squee!
Anyways I have to get off the net, have some homework to do, haha!
Ja ne!

The 4400 Season 2 Coming Soon!
I was looking through Sci-fi Wire a couple of minutes ago and I found this about the second season of the show.
Its suppose to take place six months after season one and Tom Baldwin being reinstated to his job, anywho heres the artical.
4400 Gears Up For Year 2
USA Network's highly rated SF series The 4400 will begin production on its second season soon and returns to the cable network in June, Zap2It reported. The show, about 4,400 people presumed missing or dead who return to Earth looking exactly as they did when they disappeared, is scheduled to premiere June 5.
When it comes back, The 4400 will pick up six months after the events of the first season, with Homeland Security agent Tom Baldwin (Joel Gretsch) having been reinstated to his job and continuing to investigate the returnees with partner Diana Skouris (Jacqueline McKenzie).
Meanwhile, would-be 4400 leader Jordan Collier (Billy Campbell) has published a book about the abductees containing some rather controversial allegations about the group, the site reported.
Other cast members returning for the show's second season include Patrick Flueger (Shawn Farrell), Mahershalalhashbaz Ali (Richard Tyler), Laura Allen (Lily Moore), Chad Faust (Kyle) and Conchita Campbell (Maia).
USA is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.
See ya later!

Mummy, look what I've found!
Ignoring the idoitic pun I used I found out from livescience that yesterday archaeologists in Saqqara, Egypt discovered a tomb clad with three coffins, each containing a mummy, by accident! How frilling odd is that!?
Heres the actual report from live science -
SAQQARA, Egypt (AP) -- Archaeologists uncovered three coffins and a remarkably well-preserved mummy in a 2,500-year old tomb discovered by accident -- after opening a secret door hidden behind a statue in a separate burial chamber, Egypt's chief archaeologist said Wednesday.
The Australian team was exploring a much older tomb -- dating back 4,200 years -- belonging to a man believed to have been a tutor to the 6th Dynasty King Pepi II, when they moved a pair of statues and discovered the door, said Zahi Hawass, Egypt's top antiquities official.
Inside, they found a tomb from the 26th Dynasty with three intricate coffins, each with a mummy.
"Inside one coffin was maybe one of the best mummies ever preserved,'' Hawass told reporters at the excavation site in the cemetery of Saqqara, a barren hillside pocked with ancient graves about 15 miles south of Cairo.
"The chest of the mummy is covered with beads. Most of the mummies of this period -- about 500 B.C. -- the beads are completely gone, but this mummy has them all,'' he said, standing over one of the mummies that was swathed in turquoise blue beads and bound in strips of black linen.
The names of the mummies have not been determined, but the tomb is thought to be that of a middle-class official.
Hawass said the wooden coffins, called anthropoids because they were in the shape of human beings, bore inscriptions dating to the 26th Dynasty, together with a statue of a deity called Petah Sakar. Petah was the god of artisans, Hawass said, while Sakar was the god of the cemetery.
The door was hidden behind 4,200-year-old statues of a man believed to have been Meri, the tutor of Pepi II, and Meri's wife, whose name was not revealed.
Meri also was believed to oversee four sacred boats found in the pyramids, which were buried with Egypt's kings to help them in the afterlife, Hawass said.
"I believe this discovery can enrich us about two important periods in our history, the Old Kingdom, which dates back to 4,200 years, and the 26th Dynasty, that was 2,500 years ago,'' Hawass said.
According to tradition, Pepi II -- the last ruler of the 6th Dynasty -- ruled from 2278-2184 B.C., one of the longest reigns in ancient Egyptian history.
Naguib Kanawati, the head of the Australian team from Sydney's Macquarie University, said the site had fallen into neglect after Pepi II's rule and was covered by 50 feet of sand, until it was used again as a cemetery 2,600 years later.
"By that time the art of mummification was perfected to the extreme,'' Kanawati said.
Archaeologists would begin tests on the mummies to learn more about their medical conditions, including using CT scans, as they were presently doing on King Tutankhamun, Hawass said. The results of Tut's scans will be revealed next week, he said.
Can anyone say, l-u-c-k-y?? I just figured you guys would find this interesting, and I cant wait to see what they have found out from Tut's scans. Out of all the mummies that are out there, well the ones that are discovered, he's the one I find most intersting because there are just so many ways he could have died!
Oyasuminasai!

College in Highschool!?!
Okay, so when I got my report card for my last years homeschooling, I did okay in everything but Pre-Algerbra. Please dont make me embarrass myself and try and explain why I got a C+, actually is 76.9 an C+?
Anywho Im now half-way through my school year and my Social Science class is kickin my white-irish-ass! When I read the summary in the school cataloge for the course it didn't sound all that hard.
Sociology Summary: A Study of Human Relationships - this course offers a stude of human relationships in society. It focuses upon the use of sociological point of view to examine culture, social structure, the individual in society, social insitutions, and social inequality. The changing social world and its implications are presented and analzyed. 1 credit.
See doesn't sound hard at all, and I kinda needed the credit so I could help get my college prep diploma and seeing how thats the only thing I sorta find related to Anthropology, Archaeology, and linguists I decided to take the course...can anyone say stew-pid id-dee-ut?
Its not so much that the lessons are hard or the reading is incomprehensible(sp?) its just that the tests are so un-godly! The multiple choice answers are okay alittle hard but fine, its the essays for the tests, and even some of the homework, that is killing me!
From what I've read int he textbook I understand but when you have to look up your information, that should be in your textbook, on the internet for your homework, its crazy I think I sat at Google all weekend trying to search for information on the Mundungers.
I dont know if its just because I've never taken a class where I've had to do so much research out of the text, or its just classes are getting harder but Im warning all those who are students of Keystone National Highschool, if your not prepared to work your butt off or ask you parents for plenty of help and prepared to rack up search points with Google this course is not for you!
Well Im off to beat my head against a blunt object, oyasuminasai min'nasan.

Never underestimate the power of the Donald Duck Shirt
You really thought I would keep a layout not mine up for long???
Well, not ture, I loved that layout and thought about making one like it but I tried looking for tutorials on the code xdiorangelx used but I couldn't find a tutorial ANYWHERE! So I gave up and went back to my trusty DIV/CSS/normal HTML but one day I will understand how that frickin' innerHTML works and I will rule all!...ignore me, seriously...
Anyways I know I haven't posted another review for The 4400 but dont worry I will have the reviews up before Tuesday, because I expect you all to watch the TV Show when Sci-fi plays in for three nights starting Feb.22th. Think it starts at 9:00 central.
Also I feel obligated to promote my friends RPG, its not open to the public right now, its just for her online friends and college roomies. Stress relief or something but its an interesting concept.
[ [About Atlantis High ] ]
Atlantis the lost continent of an advance technological race, its suppose to be a myth right? What if I told you that it wasn't? For a handful of people this was home, Atlantis was real, and nothing would destroy it; but something did. At the height of the city's growth it was attacked by an unknown force and sank into the frigid depths of the Atlantic Ocean. There were legends that said no one survived the city's destruction but the legends were wrong the last generation of Atlantians are coming of age and are about to learn who and what killed their people.
The main characters are -
Scottie Conner - played by Shinrai

The 4400 - Reviewing Sci-fi's latest - Part Two.
In a market store we see a man, known as Carl Morrissey, stocking a fish display when an elderly lady comes up to him what looks good today. Smiling Carl walks over to the front of the display and picks up a some-type of fish. Bringing it over he lets Mrs.Martino look at the fish. She nods her head and tells him that since he disappeared she hasn't gottena decent fish. As Carl heads over to weight the fish the elderly lady asks him how it feels to be back. Taking the fish from the weighing tray he starts to reply but his boss, Burt, interrupts him by taping on his office window and calling his name. Carl turns and says hes great, its like he never left. Heading over to his boss, Burt asks Carl what he thinks he's doing, to which he replies, he was just helping Mrs. Martino. Burt glares at him and says that anyone else can help a costume but he destinctly remembered asking him to stock the fish display.
After-work Carl meets up with his wife, Grace, at an old rundown theater so the two can walk home together. As they walk Carl asked how her day went and she told him the usual it was slow, she continues on to say that its the neighborhood its not like it use to be. Carl says its not that bad and Grace laughs and said yes it is but he just doesn't want to see it. Smiling he agrees Grace goes on to say that no one cares about the place anymore
as the two come to Bradley Park entrance Carl says that they should take a short cut through the park but Grace detests that they shouldn't no one goes through it anymore its just a hang out for gangs and drug dealers. As the two continue to talk a kid, playing hockey, behind them shoot an orange puck hard towards the two and it heads straight for Grace but just as its about to hit her Carl catches it, inches from her face.
The next day? Carl is walking home and decides to take a short cut through the park. He walks around and sees all the graffiti done by gangs and taggers. Shaking his head he smiles, though, when he sees the bench he proposed to his wife on. Walking over to it he sits down and remembers when he proposed to his Gracey. Standing up to go he's suprised when to muggers shove him and ask for his wallet. Carl stupid asks, in shock, if their mugging him, but never the less hands over his wallet. Taking the wallet the mugger to his right stares in shock as he holds up seven dollars. Apparently not please the mugger to his left goes in to hit him with a metal pipe while the one on the right trys to beat him. But to their surprise Carl catches both their wrists. He grabs the metal pole from the man on his left and hits the man on his right with it. Shoving the man to his left to the ground he hits him in the face, stunning the mugger, jumping over the bench, dropping the pipe, he jumps onto the the mugger from his right. Sending them both to the ground, he quickly stuns the guy with a hit to the face. The mugger he hit in the face with the pipe grabs said object and intends to hit Carl but instead Carl grabs it from him and hits him once in the nads then in the stomach and finally in the face. Frightened the two muggers stagger away from Carl.

So long ago,
Another life,

A place in time to call our own.

He tells her that she actually is right that the gravity of the sites he checked out are weaker but its barely noticiable.
Tom asks for it in English and Diana says that it means the gravity of the site, were some of the returnees were taking has changed, but what htey dont know is if it was naturally or artifically. Marco continues on for her by saying if it was Artifically then the quesitons become by who. The two geniuses go back and forth talking about how they cant rule out alien abduction but to be sure they'll need to take more measurements.

The 4400 - Reviewing Sci-fis latest - Part One
Introduction: So I had been wanting to get the first season of this show awhile now but I was hesitant to spend the money on it, so last weekend I spent the last of my Christmas money on the two disk set, yes two disk. Anywho Im just letting you know that I have no idea how to write a review for a show, never even wrote a book report, we have accelerated reader at school instead of book reports, so bear with me. Also I figured it would be easier if I broke the review down into parts reviewing teach epsiode seperately, and my overall opinion will be at the end on the last review.
Review - Pilot
Our story starts off in 1946 with eight-year-old Maia Rutledge picnicing with her parents on the outskirts of a forest, because of the rain its to wet for them to go outside their car and eat, but being an eight-year-old she begged her parents to let her go outside and play for alittle. While walking through, what appears to be a forest, a bright light shines down on the small girl and she disappeares.
Flash forward five years and we see Richard Tyler, an airforce pilot, who is recovering from a beating from his supporting officers, looking at a small strip of photobooth film of him and a woman kissing, when a sudden light flashes over his head, causing him to disappear.
Skip ahead twenty-eight years and we see a man, from the looks of it a business man, called Orson Bailey heading to his car with a co-worker. He tells his co-worker that he better hurry or he's going to be late for his and his wifes anniversary, the co-worker says bye and leaves. As Orson prepairs to get into his car a bright white light covers the screen and when it disappears he's gone.
2001 two cousins, Shawn Ferrall and Kyle Baldwin, are out by a cabin on the beach drinking beer, when a sudden flash of light appears above them taking Shawn with it and leaving Kyle on the sandy beach unconscious.
Present day the father of Kyle Baldwin, Tom, sits vigil at his sons side in the local hospital. As it turns out Kyle has been in a coma for the past three years, since Shawns disappearence. Tom looks up from his sons bed to the TV just in time to hear about some big comet that is scheduled to come extremely close to Earth. His estranged (think thats the word) wife Linda enters the room to see their son. Instead she leaves in a rush while arguing with Tom over his not being able to move on and accept that their sons in a coma and no private investagator is going to be able to help them find Shawn, who is believed by Tom, to be in hiding for having a hand in Kyles coma.
Not to long after a bright light flashes across the night sky, sending the Homeland Security Offices in Washington on High Alert. Bureau Chief Deenis Ryland is busy breifing Agent Diana Skouris on the comment that is now heading directly towards Earth. An unamed agent infroms them that the comet has changed its course and they have exactly twenty-eight minutes till impact. Ryland, the head honcho guy, gets a call that China has just launched its missiles to try and intercept the comet, not to long after several other countries have also launched missiles in a vain attempt to destroy the comet. When the missiles reach the comet,t heres a big explosion but nothing happens to stop the massive object.
Meanwhile, In a different place a mother, son, and his girlfirend( Susan and Danny Ferrall and Nikki Hudson) are all outside watching as the missile attack the comet and fail. Susan heads into her house and attempts to call her brother Tom, asking if there is a shelter that they might be able to go to and hide in. Tom tells her that there is nothing they can do and there is no shelter that would be able to save them from the comet.
Back at Homeland security, the agent realize that the comet is actually slowly in its decent. The sit there for a second and think what kind of comet could control its decent when, Diana says that a comet cant do that. Realization dawns on them that it cant be a comet then but maybe a ship? Ryland says it doesn't matter because whatever it is is landing in their
backyard. As quickly as possible the agents head towards the mountain area, where the comet is landing, and try to secure the area from onlookers. The comet hovers briefly over the mountains lake before exploding into a brilliant white light sending everyon in the area flying backwards. When the onlookers get their barrings and stand they realize that the empty lake beach is now filled with people, thousands of dazed and confused people.
Tom and susan, who are watching tv, are compeltly stunned to see Shawn among the hord of people. We also see Maia, Richard and Orson somewhere in the crowd. Sometime later, not sure how much, we see Tom in Rylands office asking for his old job back. Him and Ryland bitch for awhile over how he quit work after five months of working. Finally, after Tom says that since the matter to him is personal he'll come through for Ryland, the head honcho guy gives in and assigns Tom to work with Diana, who more than thrilled at the idea. Anywho after awhile Tom goes into the quarantine area that is holding all 4400 returnees, as they have been called.
He finds Shawn in on of the questioning? rooms and immediatle begins asking him questions concerning his sons condition. Shawn is shell-shocked to hear about Kyle being in a coma since his disappearence and is hurt that his uncle thinks he had something to due with it.
Meanwhile the air force pilot, Richard, meets a woman named Lilly Moore who looks exactly like the girl he use to know. While they talk the realize that Lilly's grandmother use to know Richard and Richard is heartbrokent hat she is long gone.
On the other side ofthe quarantine room Orson is throwing hissy fit, demanding that he be allowed to see a lawyer or at least have access to a phone so he can call his wife. Maia comes over to him and hands him a napkin, confused he aceepts the tissues to only realize a few second later his nose has begun to bleed.
Later on The Returnees are released from their hold and allowed to leave the fecilaty with family, if they have any. Lilly leaves to go to her Husband and Daughter, Orson heads off to find his wife, Shawn reunits with his mother and brother Danny, and Richard heads off to St.Louis to his home.
When Lily reaches her home she is crushed to realize that her daughter has no idea who she is, and her husband has married another woman. Heartbroken, that her ex has even went on to tell her daughter his second wife is her mother, Lily leaves her house crying. Meanwhile with Richard he returns to his old St.Louis neighborhood to only find out that it has been turned down so a freeway could be built.
Orson goes to see his wife, who, he has learned, is being kept at a nuring home. Seeing the conditions his wife is living in he heads off to his old company, in hopes of getting his old job back. Only to find out that his partners son, Adam Kinsington, is running the company and has no desire to rehire him. Orson loses his temper and crushes the glass he is holding.
Meanwhile Shawns family is throwing him a welcome home party.
He is shocked to see that his kid brothers friend, Nikki, is all grown up and now the same age as him. Tom uses the party as an opportunity to patch things up between him and his nephew, but during their talk a bird flies into the window behind the two. Shawn picks the bird up and pets it saying the
glass must have confused him. Then all the suddent he bird comes to life and flies away.
The next day Tom and Diana are discussing how seventy-five precent of the returnees, now called the noturious 4400, are still living in Seattle, many of them relocating their whole families there.
At Maia's new foster house she is trying to settle in with her new guardians Patty and Kenneth Griffin. Taking off her shoes Maia put them on the chair beside her bed only to have Kenneth tll her they doesn allow shoes on the furniture, Maia replys she doesn't want them to get wet. Patty questions her on her answer but Maia doesn't reply. Deciding maybe Maia needed some time to herself the two leave, after the adults left Maia took her shoes from the floor and placed them back onto the chair. Later that night, Patty starts the washing machine, not realizing there is a leak that will flood part of the house-including Maia's room. When Patty discovers it, she rushes in to Maia-and finds Maia's shoes back on the chair.
That night shawn is outside staring up at the stars in the sky, wondering if he once lived up there, when he catches Nikki looking at him through her bedroom window. A few seconds later he hears the sound of glass breaking and runs out-front to find his car as been trashed with the wrods Freak spray-painted in white all over it.
Meanwhile Oroson goes to Kensingtions mansion in order to apologize about his earlier action and try, to once again, get his job back. When Adam denies him entrance to his mansion, Orson begins to rattle the gate bars, and for some reason various small objects inside Kensingtions house begin to shake and soon the glass in all his window shatter while his glass table cracka nd busts. Adam clutched his head tightly before his eyes rolled into theback of his head and he fell forward onto a table leg, killing him. Hearing the scream from Kensingtons house snaps Orson back into reality and he leaves the house quickly.
Later on, Diana finds her partner Tom in his sons hospital room and informs him that Orson has been arrested for susipsion of murder, for Kensington.
At Seacrest Highschool, Shawn is bullied by a guy he use to go to school with called Brad, apparently someone he use to pick on, who is now the same age as him. To add to the scene Shawns kid brother and girlfriend come to his rescue, much to his humliation. The kid leaves him alone but to try and irk Shawn another way he asks how he likes the new paint job on his car and that its not over.
Tom and Diana talk to Orson at the police station about Kensington, while Tom
is being calm about the situation Diana decides to read him a rather rude email from Adam to his lawyer causing Orson to became rather pissed off, behind the aging man two coffee pots begin to crack. Demanding that he isn't an idoit he says they need to either charge him with something or release him. The two have no choice but to release Orson.
Meanwhile back at the Griffins Kenneth and Patty have taken Maia out to the cementary where her parents are buried. Maia questions if her parents ever thought about her and Patty reassures her they the did everyday. Kenneth comments how the cemetary use to be in much better shape than it is now and Maia says not to worry that Crown hill is a much nicer graveyard. The couple question what she means and Maia says that thats where their going to be burried.
Tom and Diana are now at the morfue taking to the coroner about Kensingtons. She tells them that Adam is a popular guy in death. She goes on to tell them that even though he was impaled with the table leg his inital injury, the shattered skull, is what cause his death.
Back in St.Louis Richard is in a phone booth looking at a piece of paper while holding the small object to his ear. He's trying to call Lily but it isn't going well, Lilys daughter Heidi tells him that no one by the name of Lily lives there.
Meanwhile Lily is at a doctors office, being examined. The doctor tells her that she isn't sick but rather pregnant, the blonde is shocked. She goes off to visit her ex, who takes the news with a grain of salt, and hands her a envelope. He tells her its a temporary restraining order to keep her away from Heidi. He also adds that he doesn't want to see her anymore. Crushed Lily just watches as her once upon a time love leaves her.
Back with Orson, who is now a free man, he goes to visit his wife at the nursing hom, but her and belongings are not there. Orson confront Alan Kushner, the administrator, who informs him that his wide had passed away. Upset, Orson screams in rage as he outlashes towards Alan but the orderlies restrain him, which only causes more anger. Raging Orson and the rest of the employes watch horrified as the hallyways literally explodes around them.
Later, in the same hallway, Tom and Diana question Kushner on what exacly happened. The admin tells them that stuff was physically flying around the passage way and his head felt ready to explode. Tom gently explains to Kushner that her better not read or otherwise hear about the scene int he news or on tv. Then he and Diana head back to Homeland Security to tell Ryland about the scene. Ryland says that Orson checked out of his hotel and may be making a run for it. Diana and Tom leave to try and find him.
After School, Shawn, Danny and Nikki are heading out of the building towards home when Brad the bullie calls Shawn out. They get in s scuffle and Shawn pins brad down but something happens and Brad begins to turn blue and his veins begin to appear
it almost looks as if hes either freezing to death or choking and Danny has to pull Shawn off of the bullie before he kills him. All the student freak out because they think Shawn tried to kill Brad by somehow absorbing his life force. Later at home, the two cousins are playing basketball together when Danny confronts his cousin about what he really thinks happened to Brad, causing Shawn to walk off in a huff.
The same day, Patty and Kenneth recieve a Crown Hill Cemetary Brochure in their mail. Unnerved Kenneth decides that he doesn't think he and Patty made the right choice with Maia. Patty tells Kenneth that Maia isn't what they expected and that maybe they should talk to her. Nodding Patty gets up and heads to Maias room to see the little girl standing in the center of the room her suitcase packed. She tells them she new she wouldn't be there very long. Whent hey return her to Homeland, Patty has a hard time saying good-bye to the little girl, but warns Maia that she should watch what she says around people, because it could scare them.
After browsing through Orsons wifes belongings, Diana and Tom find a photo of the couple taken at a cabin. They decide that maybe, just maybe, Orson went to the cabin to hide out. The proceed to track the cabin down.
The next day, Nikki hands Shawn a homemade CD with all the current popular songs from various badns to give him a chance to get caught up on whats cool. He seems surprised she wants to hang out with him because of what the entire school thinks hes a freak of nature and trys to avoid him. She says she doesn't care what anyone else thinks.
In the meantime, Tom and Diana figure out which cabin they need to head to but before they leave Diana gets a phone call from her father? and the conversation doesn't go very well. To add to the wonderful day Tom is served divorce papers on silver platter.

Later on, Tom and Diana make their way to Orsons cabin to confront him. He refuses to come out and becomes angry
when the two wont leave him alone. Blood begins to drip from his nose as his rage builds. Toms also begins to bleed, as does Dianas left ear. Tom kicks open the door but is stopped by the pounding pain in his head, it soon becomes to much for him and he drops to the floor. Diana orders Orson to stop
but he cant. The cabin soon begins to rattle causing the timbers to start to fall. More blood begind to seep from Orsons eyes and ears while Diana moves forward and orders him to stop in one last deseperate plea; but he doesn't. Having no choice Diana shoot Orson, causing the destruction to stop and the cabin to settle. Tom regains his senses and quickly calls 911.
At Shawn's house, he catches Nikki and Danny looking at a website about The 4400, it has an article about Orson killing some guy. Shawn again says hes not a freak, and Danny accuses him, again, of purposely doing something to Brad. Shawn storms off to his room while Nikki looks at Danny exasperated.
Orson is recovering from his bullet wound in a hospital bed, while Ryland expects Tom to look into the other returnees to make sure they dont have any similar abilities. Tom thanks Diana for saving his life and she questions him about Shawn, but he denies noticing anything unusual.
At the hospital Shawb has snuck into his cousin, Kyles, hospital room to see him for the first time since hes been back. He gently touches the unconscious boys chest causing Kyle to stir. Kyle starts to struggle violently to open his eyes, he begins to cough. Panicking, Shawn hastingly retreats from the bed, and Kyle slips back into the coma. Shawn stares at his hand shell-shocked over what just happened.
-------------
Episode Overview: The episode was a good kick-off I admit but for the two hours it was on, I think it could have done alot better then it did. It started off pretty good with introducing you to the main characters through their abductions and it did a good job at showing their powers but I dont know just seems like they could have done better! I mean when you think about it most movie only run about the same as this Pilot did but yet I dont know....just seems not as good as it could have been, anyways thats all for this review, I'll try and get the next one up soon. I really want to thank The 4400.com02 for their wonderful graphics!
Oyasuminasai!
