                <description><![CDATA[ I've noticed a lot of people have been complaining about the new dA. Please... just... STOP! Your complaints will not bring the old dA back. Trust me. I've seen people complain about sites changing and they never changed it back. dA changed thanks to complaints about the old version, so they made the new one to make it better.<br /><br />The only reason you're complaining about the new system is because you're use to the old one... Not necessarily because the old system is better. Just take some time to get use to the change. You may find that you actually like it. Change is hard to get use to, but eventually you won't even notice. Just like the last dA after it changed.<br /><br />My opinion on the new dA? I'm not really sure. So far I've had no problems figuring things out. So it's not difficult to use. I guess I feel the same way I always feel when a site changes. "Oh my gosh, they changed it!"<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've noticed that there's a lot of reality shows for people. Whoever does the best at accomplishing the whole point of the show, they get a LARGE sum of money. Thousands. You've all heard of shows like that, right? So far the only one I know of that's "good" (as in they DESERVE the money), is the ones that loose the weight on the show.<br /><br />On The N (the channel I'm always watching) there's a new show called "Queen Bee". Some of the meanest girls on this planet are on this show. Guess what? Whoever ends up the nicest in the end gets a large $25,000.<br /><br />These girls have been bitches all of their life and they get that much money? That hardly seems fair. Even if they are changing. There are people who are nicer than what they end up in the end and what do they get for it? Nothing.<br /><br />There are deserving people out there. Nice, good people. Who have to serve people hours of almost everyday of their life. These people on these shows are not only getting fame, but more money than a lot of people make in a year.<br /><br />Some might come back with, "These people ARE working hard!" Yeah. They're working hard. To change themselves. Woohoo. Most people on this planet have to do this at home. Most people who want to change DO change themselves at home. And get NOTHING for it.<br /><br />A small amount of people go on a show and do the same thing they would have to do at home. One person gets a large amount of money. Tons of people around the world doing the same thing, some even better than the person on the show, and they get nothing for it. Does it seem fair now?<br /><br />Sorry for this rant. It just hit me when the "Queen Bee" commercial came on. (Even though I've been seeing the same commercial for days now, hah!) I find it funny how a mean girl, someone who has been terribly mean for almost all of her life and has to get whatever she wants, gets $25,000 for changing her ways. I think they deserve shit.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Who am I? What am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose for living?<br /><br />These are a few questions I've been asking myself lately... I've failed to figure each of them out. (No, I'm not being emo, just curious.)<br /><br />Who am I is quite simple. I'm Amanda. But it takes more than a name to define someone. For example... My purpose for living is something that can define me. But what's my purpose? My passion? Could it be animals? I love animals. I want to be involved with animals. But... does that really make it my passion?<br /><br />I don't think I have a passion. There's nothing out there that... I'm so passionate about to where I'd do anything to accomplish my goal... or to own it. I've been trying to figure out something that I love to do and can call my great hobby, but everything I've tried so far as seem to have failed.<br /><br />Drawing: I keep saying I want to draw, keep saying I'm going to someday, but... I'm not. I'm never going to. And... it's not because I don't have the patience... it's because I'm not passionate enough about it to actually practice. Photography: I love photography. I love taking pictures. This is something I do plan on continuing. I just want a nicer camera first. My camera sucks horribly. (I'm very aware it doesn't take a nice camera to take nice pictures. But you do have to admit that most nice pictures usually are taken with nice, professional cameras.)<br /><br />Cosplay: I wanted to try cosplay, but that never happened. I haven't gotten the chance to go to an anime convention or anything. Dressing myself up... just isn't something that's me, I guess.<br /><br />My next thing is dolls. Asian ball-jointed dolls. Dollfies. I've wanted one for like two-three years now. They're beautiful. And I've always liked dolls... Anything that had to do with dolls when I was little, I had to have it. I don't like dressing myself up, but as weird as it is... I always enjoyed dressing dolls up. Whenever I had dolls... that's really all I liked to do with them. Dress them up. The wonderful thing about ABJD's is they can pose, you can change their hair, and even their eyes. It's a doll-lovers dream doll.<br /><br />Now... as for what am I... You're probably thinking, "You're human! DUH!" But am I really human? Can I really call myself human? Yes, I make mistakes, like all humans. But think about what the average human is like these days. What they like, the type of mistakes they make, and ect. I don't make extremely stupid mistakes and I don't do stupid things. Even if I'm still human... I don't like being human. I'm ashamed of humans. But I think that's a whole different story.<br /><br />Sorry for the long journal... You'll probably find longer posts on my website sometime in the future. Haha.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I love the name. Duh. She's my little ninja bunny. Yes she is. Not a good thing, really. That means she's too quick for me, disappear in a blink of an eye, and jumps randomly like a foot into the air. Hahaha. She's so cute it kills me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I can only draw when staring at something... and even the simplest thing can take hours because I gotta be a stupid perfectionist!<br /><br />In other news, I'm updating my website layout... adding a War of Wings website... and then a characters website as well. :] Almost finished up my fanlistings too! And then more will be approved which means more work... Oh well. I brought it on myself.<br /><br />OH! I have almost caught up in Naruto! Well, the manga... I stopped reading it for months, so I'm like... four volumes or so behind. Now I just got one volume left and the last uncompleted volume. :]] Then I gotta watch all the episodes. D: That'll take a lot longer than reading... lol.<br /><br />I decided I'm not getting a camera for my birthday. I'll work with the camera I have right now. I'll just steal PJ's since his is better than mine! I decided I'd rather have a bunny rabbit and Final Fantasy VII rather than a camera. That can wait until Christmas or so. Who knows, maybe I'll end up doing so much work around the house and my mom will make a lot of money and I'll get it as a gift... hehe. I just gotta try to avoid asking for random stuff. x____X; That might raise my chances!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes, you heard right.<br />
I believe in Santa Clause.<br />
The jolly ol' fat man who goes to childrens houses on Christmas Eve and leaves presents underneath the tree.<br />
And I am one of those "children" who is happy to find gifts under the tree marked with sloppy handwriting, "from Santa Clause".<br />
<br />
<br />
    As immature as people may find it these days, I believe in Santa Clause. I believe that every kid or kid at heart... No, everyone, should believe in a little bit of magic. And it's sad to see that kids and even adults are way too caught up in reality. No one said it's bad to focus on reality... but what fun is life if you can't believe in magic? Or have a bit of an imagination? I want everyone this Christmas to close their eyes and believe... Believe that magic is real and dreams can come true.<br />
<br />
    Almost everyone has heard the same ol' story when it comes to people who don't believe in Santa Clause. "My parents told me he wasn't real!" Do you know why your parents tell you he isn't real? Because they don't believe. They had an experience in their life that stopped them from believing. And because of their disbelief they feel their children shouldn't believe in something that THEY don't think is real. But think about it... what proof do they have that he's not real?<br />
<br />
    And then there's the wonderful "I found presents that were from him!" story. More than likely you never believed in him to begin with. As far as I know, a lot of people find BIG gifts that were from him. Like a bike. Well, I have no explaination for that, but I'll tell you the same thing my mom always told me... "How can you expect an old man to carry around something so big?" Magical or not.<br />
<br />
    Tell me, have you ever heard someone say they believe in Santa Clause and they backed it up with a story on why they believe? I sure know I haven't. Because a lot of people don't get to experience something extrodinary or magical! Though, I'm one of the people who has experienced something... quite strange. And those experiences keep reminding me to believe.<br />
<br />
    Every Christmas... And I mean EVERY Christmas the gifts we recieve from Santa were all piled up in a red, velvet bag. Like the bag from the movie "The Santa Clause". It's quite easy for you to believe that my parents or my grandparents just bring it out from where ever they were hiding it... But this is my house. And it's quite hard to hide a bag filled with gifts. Basement? Nope. I go down there all the time. No room for such a thing. Attic? Nope. The entry way to the attic is in my bedroom. Parents room? Nope. I go in there all the time. If they hid it in there, someone would be sure to see it. A car? Nope. Go in the cars all the time. Even the trunks. Grandparents? Nope. They live far from here. To bring it, it'd need to be in the back of the truck. And we go in there when they arrive to get presents out. So, where else left is there to hide something so large where it wouldn't be seen?<br />
<br />
    One Christmas when I was young... I receieved something in my stocking. It was a ring. Real diamonds and all. A girl at the age of 9-11 would never receive something like that! But not only that... I had this weird urge to look under the thing the ring was in. (Y'know, those little pillows keeping it steady.) And underneath it was a small piece of wrapping paper. Boy was I glad I looked under there! I opened it up and it read in sloppy handwriting "Because you believe in me." I was shocked, to say the least. But I was happy... very happy. That my belief even though I was getting older kept going strong... and someone noticed.<br />
<br />
    The thing that I found strange more than anything... Was one day in a Salon. My mother, brother, and I were going to get our hair cut. It was the Holidays, we had to look nice! Towards the back I noticed a very familiar man... White hair, white beard, and fat! He looked a lot like Santa Clause. And so the man wouldn't hear me incase he would take it offensively, I whispered that to my mom. She just smiled and agreed. We did our best not to stare as we and himself were getting our hair cut. Before the man left... He walked up to us, smiling. And handed my brother and I something. A Virginia state quarter! My brother and I were shocked because the reason we were in the Salon was because we were about to go to Virginia to visit family.<br />
<br />
    You can say all of that is just a coincidence... Especially the last one. But think about it! A man who looks like Santa Clause somehow KNEW we were going to Virginia even when we never said anything? Even after you read my story... You don't have to believe. But I hope that at least some of you... can believe in a little magic.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Halloween is coming! And I can tell you, I can not wait!<br />
<br />
Here in Delaware we have something called Frightland open in October and that is indeed the BEST place to hang out and have fun. It may not be the scariest place, but to some people it is... So it's fun to watch them scream. :] My mom worked on the hayride last year, so I got to ride the hayride as many times as I wanted for free. Never got old! But it sure did get cold! Lol.<br />
<br />
I would love to take some pictures of the characters there once I get a camera, but I can't because you're not allowed to take pictures of them. :[ (Either they just don't want them to show up on the internet or because it's really dark out it'll blind them!) I'm guessing it'll just blind them because some characters appear on the website.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.frightland.com">[link]</a> <- The site.<br />
<br />
If for some reason someone else from Delaware views my dA page, try visiting Frightland if you haven't! Or if you live around Delaware, stop by. It's worth it. You'll have lots of fun and if you're easily scared, you'll jump out of your shoes!<br />
<br />
But you HAVE to be careful. If you're not afraid of anything (or at least not afraid of stuff like haunted houses), then you might end up being squashed by someone who is afraid or someone will end up in your lap.<br />
<br />
Trust me, it happened to me. I didn't mind the lap thing... I was laughing too much at the girl to even care. But I did mind being squashed against the wall because some girls were afraid of the stupid saw. D< Not like it was going to hurt them, gosh. It was just loud!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.costumecraze.com/image.php?imagefile=http://img.costumecraze.com/images/vendors/incharacter/1026-large.jpg">[link]</a> <- Click!<br />
That's what I hope to be for Halloween!<br />
Something dark, yet sexy. I loved this costume when I first saw it in a store. But because of the price and my size, I couldn't get it. So in hopes that a diet works for me, I should be able to wear the medium or at least large by Halloween (well, the party we're having before Halloween...) :]<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so, as usual... I've been up all night trying to get my sleeping pattern back on track. I really need to try and keep it that way because I need to be up by 6:30am every morning.<br />
<br />
I'm going to try the Special K Challenge~! <3<br />
Wish me luck.<br />
<br />
Thank you Becca-chan for introducing me to it and letting me know it was good. :]<br />
<br />
I might be taking photography classes in the winter! Yay! If I'm old enough, that is. And I neeeeeed a new camera before I really even think about it.<br />
<br />
I also need a new computer. MINE IS DEAD. D: GONE FOREVER.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay so I haven't really updated at all... But my updates suck so why do you wanna see more anyways? :'D<br />
<br />
Well, quite... a lot has been going on? Not really anything important I don't guess. I don't see the point in updating, but I really wanted to post a journal on DA because I haven't been doing much other than adding lots of favorites... everyday.<br />
<br />
I can tell you that you can look forward to cosplay in the future. I plan on cosplaying as quite a few characters and I'm also going to AMA! Yay!<br />
<br />
Tsunade, Neji, and Deidara from Naruto.<br />
Cinderella, Riku, and possibly Demyx from Kingdom Hearts.<br />
<br />
Cinderella will probably be the only costume done by the time AMA comes. So, if you're going to AMA, look for one of the Seven Princesses. ;D<br />
<br />
I'm also trying to convince my sister to be one of the princesses. Probably Belle or Snow White... Or maybe even Kairi if I can just get her to get into Kingdom Hearts. >> <<<br />
<br />
I've been so obsessed with Naruto and Kingdom Hearts lately. Specifically Deidara from Naruto... And just Kingdom Hearts altogether!<br />
<br />
I'm wanting to write, so I'll try to get up some fanfics and such later...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ [Mood: Tired]<br />
[Watching: Life With Derek]<br />
<br />
Mm'kay... So first off... I'm so tired. I haven't been getting to sleep until 4:30 and even when it was 4:30 I couldn't fall asleep so... I GIVE UP!<br />
<br />
Anyways, as for the couples thing, I've been looking through pictures and seeing all the couples that people love and such. I just feel like giving my opinion on them... You're allowed to have your opinion and I'm allowed to have mine. So if you don't like my opinion, ignore it. I don't feel like arguing with someone about something so little, okay? And I'm only giving my opinion about ones I don't like to shorten the list of couples.<br />
<br />
I was just looking at Kingdom Hearts pictures... So I'll start out with that.<br />
<br />
Note: These are ones that I can think of at the top of my head. I could go on forever if I wanted to. But I won't because I'm too damn lazy.<br />
<br />
[Kingdom Hearts]<br />
-----<br />
+ Roxas x Axel<br />
A famous one and I guess they are cute together and all because Axel cares so much about Roxas... But honestly, I don't really think they're meant to be a couple. So I'm gonna have to agree with something I read and say they are more like brothers than lovers.<br />
<br />
+ Roxas x Sora<br />
Well, this one I don't quite understand... Roxas basically is Sora. So how can they be lovers? D: That's just weird, man...<br />
<br />
+ Riku x Namine<br />
No. I haven't gotten to that point in CoM yet... But this just doesn't seem to work for me. Namine goes better with Roxas and Riku... If anyone it would be Sora, but Sora belongs with Kairi.<br />
<br />
[Naruto]<br />
-----<br />
+ Itachi x Sasuke<br />
Ew. D: They're brothers. That's icky. They hate each other. They're not lovers. Will never be lovers.<br />
<br />
+ Ino x Shikamaru<br />
I'm not really all that against InoShika, but honestly I think it'd work much better if Shikamaru was with Temari and Ino was with Chouji. =]<br />
<br />
+ Naruto x Sasuke<br />
This... I guess it could work... But I still don't like it. I really prefer Sakura with Sasuke and Naruto with Hinata... It's much better that way.<br />
<br />
[Fullmetal Alchemist]<br />
-----<br />
+ Ed x Al<br />
Once again, they're brothers. Ew.<br />
<br />
+ Ed x Mustang<br />
Just... no. I don't really have much of an opinion, but I really don't like this one either.<br />
<br />
[Inuyasha]<br />
-----<br />
+ Kagome x Sesshomaru<br />
Probably the couple I hate the most. I don't like Kagome with Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru really belongs with no one in the show unless it's Rin when she gets older. And Kagome will only be with Inuyasha, so what's the point in imagining? You can clearly see their relationship together on the show, Kagome and Sesshomaru are not very fond of each other. I guess in my opinion.<br />
<br />
+ Inuyasha x Kikyo<br />
I don't like Kikyo. I will never like Kikyo. And I will never like Kikyo with Inuyasha. That's all I have to say about that one.<br />
<br />
+ Inuyasha x Sesshomaru<br />
People sure do love pairing the brothers up, huh? My god. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ [Mood: Amused]<br />
[Watching: A Powerful Rage: Behind The Grudge]<br />
<br />
Oh. My. God. I know I'm very behind, but I just finished watching The Grudge. I never really wanted to watch the movie until now. I tried watching it before but it freaked me out so much I had to stop... xD So I decided to rent it again and watch it all the way. I tried watching it... I glanced at the TV very few times... It just didn't really interest me. But I still continued watching it and I found so many things to make fun of, oh my god. I had to do something to keep myself from freaking out, right? I will admit... It was a bit scary. But not scary enough to where I'd never want to see it again. I don't feel the desire to see it again, though. I didn't understand it at all, so why watch it? Well, I guess I got it a little bit. Er... I know why it's called "The Grudge". xD I never understood that in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Anyways... Let's get to some of the things I was making fun of.<br />
<br />
1) I dunno what the hell her name is... Kayako? I dunno. I just know that she sounds like a frog. xD I was sitting here listening to the sound she was making and I was thinking that it sounded most like a frog.<br />
<br />
2) Kayako, if that's her name, crawled down the stairs like Samara did when she crawled up the well in the second movie. Nooooo. Too similar! D: Though because The Ring 2 came out after The Grudge, it would be like The Ring is copying The Grudge. But whatever... Samara and Kayako are too much alike as well.<br />
<br />
3) The little boy was naked! D: And he meows like a friggin' cat! That I don't understand one bit. Okay, he loved his cat, is that really a good enough reason to make a meowing noise? Or are those people totally clueless about what noise a human is suppose to make? So the girl sounds like a frog and the boy sounds like a cat. Nice. : D<br />
<br />
4) The woman was sucked into her bed! Okay everybody, time to think back to older horror movies. What movie have you seen that had someone being sucked into their bed? Do you have your guess? If you guessed "A Nightmare on Elm Street" you are correct! Ding, ding, ding! So, Johnny Depp playing as Glen gets sucked into his bed. Poor guy. The only difference in these two same events is that blood poured out of the bed in the Freddy movie. Which, I might add, was much cooler 'cause I like blood. =]<br />
<br />
5) The dude just fell off the building. He just... fell off. I mean, he lifted himself up... But it was so random. I didn't understand that at all until further into the movie... It was suppose to be at the end of the movie and instead they put it at the beginning. How dare they confuse me! D:<br />
<br />
That's about it... I'll edit if I think of anything else. xD ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ [Mood: Happy / Tired]<br />
[Watching: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]<br />
<br />
Guess what?! I finally found use for my deviantART page! No, sadly they aren't drawings or art of any kind... They are pictures that I have taken myself. It's not as fun to look at or admire, but I needed to put it to use somehow and I love taking pictures so I figured I might as well put them up!<br />
<br />
Not much of an entry... And there's not much to say, sorry... I wish I could update you with my drawings. D: I only practiced once and drew a picture while looking at another picture... Maybe I'll put that up, not sure... I tried to do it once, but I had such a hard time figuring out what category I should of put it in. <<<br />
<br />
Note that I'm not great when it comes to categorizing stuff... So please let me know if I put something in the wrong spot and I never fix it. And also don't hesitate to let me know if I put something up that doesn't belong. =3 ]]></description>
