Yes yes. 83;<br /><br />Uhmz. I REALLY am trying to get an apartment sometime this year or next year. (Next year probably) Which means I need a job!

I am so not going to advertise my old age here because I feel olllld. -whine-<br /><br />Anyway, for the first time since I can remember I didn't expect anything out of my birthday and therefore I didn't cry on my birthday at all! I was expecting nothing and what I got was really fun. I hung out with my friend's went to dinner and got to roleplay with my dearest T-chan. :3 <br /><br />Plus I got some awesome gifts of two of mah favorite pairings!<br /><br />Angstshipping Picture<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://YamiNyra.deviantart.com/art/Happy-Birthday-Akila-129255419"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.net/fs49/150/i/2009/193/7/3/Happy_Birthday_Akila_by_YamiNyra.jpg" width="108" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /> by <a href="http://yaminyra.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/y/a/yaminyra.jpg" alt=":iconyaminyra:" title="yaminyra"/></a><br /><br />annnnnd<br /><br />Irateshipping Piccy<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a  class="mature" href="http://Behind-My-Eyes.deviantart.com/art/Happeh-Birthday-Ishtar-Face-129189252"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs49/150/i/2009/193/c/0/Happeh_Birthday_Ishtar_Face_by_Behind_My_Eyes.png" width="150" height="101" /></a></span></span><br />By <a href="http://behind-my-eyes.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/e/behind-my-eyes.jpg" alt=":iconbehind-my-eyes:" title="behind-my-eyes"/></a><br /><br />I love them both so much you guiz!!! Hehe, seriously, I wasn't expecting that and it makes me super happy! I'm going to print them and put them in my art binder asap~! (Yes, I like gift art so much I print it out and stick it all in plastic protectors in my binder - and I'd put them on my wall if not for the fact that my walls are already covered in posters)<br /><br />Joyce gave me this supppppa cute plushie that SHE MADE. (I will take a picture later, it's amazzzing) and an Itunes gift card. Gail gave meh Interview with a Vampire, the book and DVD, I got some cash from mah grandma and the book Shanghai girls by Lisa See, and my mum gave me teh CODE GEASS BOX SET -flail- annnnd A COFFEE MAKER. Yes. How awesome is that? <33<br /><br />Anyway. I've had a few days off so I've been working on my commission and gift art and what not.

                <description><![CDATA[ I'd like to start off with saying thanks to all the people who replied to my last journal. I didn't get back to you b/c... well... ;; there isn't much to say about it all, but I did appreciate it a lot. Hugs and hearts out to you.<br /><br />Anyway.<br /><br />.... So this melancholy feeling has been with me since last night and I can't shake off the three little sentences. My body seems to be boiling over with jealousy, and while the meds can surpress my anxiety attacks, I can't rid my mind of the thoughts.<br /><br />Thus, it's 7 am and I'm awake here, very moody, feeling sad, but unable to cry, and I can't believe I'm still not over this mess, and I wonder how fucking long it takes. <br /><br />N e way. My birthday is in 5 days. .___.  on the 12th...  gonna be an old hag, basically.<br /><br />I was gonna put a list up here, but I'm pretty sure anybody who is gonna buy me anything already did or sumthing?  ...Ya.. Uhm. And if anybody wants to draw me something (which would be uber spiff and I'd love you forever) I'd like... Uhm, well Yuugiou fanart would be awesome! >3< (Fav pairings: Jou x Malik, Ryou x Otogi, Bakura x Malik, Malik x Ryou) Jaaa. Uhmz. I guess if you're actually interested just ask me. But since the majority of my watchers are ygo fans I'm just puttin' that up.<br /><br />Ya.... also, if anybody has a method of distraction they'd like to offer? I'm low on roleplays and my ps2 decided to bust on me last night. ;____; Of course this all figures. The pool is broken too so I'm not entirely sure when I get to work again.

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry I poofed for awhile.. -again-<br /><br />Quick update for you guys.<br /><br />Last week, when I was at work, my parents took my cat to the vet and put her down...;; Part of why I poofed. It hasn't... fully hit me yet, but I have cried a ton for her. Anyway, I may be uploading pictures of her soon or something... because she's been my best friend for like... at least 15 years. (Not entirely sure of her age) So ya.. um... first time I really actually lost a best friend... ;__; it really sucks..! ;_;<br /><br />....;; anyway, leaving that note.<br /><br />Aside from that, I've been busy with work, thankfully, because it's a distraction. Today I'm off -again- because I got sick a couple of days ago. However, I'm starting to feel better aside from the fact that I lost my voice which is useless to lifeguarding. I decided to take this time to work on my commission b/c now my mom isn't nagging me to clean for once. ~___~ I'm sick of living at home b/c the moment I step in from work I get yelled at to clean up something and frankly I've had more drawing and gaming time during school! D< But anyway, I'm doing a massive clean up of my room this week and then hopefully they'll leave me alone. <br /><br />Today is art practice day and I get to relax for awhile before therapy, rest my throat and try to get better so I can work tomorrow. ;__;<br /><br /><3 you guys, commissions still open of course.<br /><br /><div class="header2">COMMISSIONS!!!</div><br /><br /><u><b>Willing to draw:</b></u><br />Shonen Ai/Yaoi<br />Shoujo Ai/Yuri<br />Het/Hentai<br />Gore/Violence<br />Anthro/Sonic/Furry<br />Fanart (Yuugiou, Invader Zim, Death Note, Code Geass, Game Characters and more~!)<br />OC's<br />Comics (depending)<br />+more~!

I work part part part time... and I don't make very much ... =.= So, essentially, I'm beyond broke, to the point of where I'm trying to sell my manga and shit on top of offering commissions. <br /><br />Uhm.

                <description><![CDATA[ Y'know what I hate more then anything?<br /><br />Lying, ugly ass bitches.<br /><br />Lying hypocritical ugly stupid ass bitches.<br /><br />Yup yup. Lately, aside from feeling relatively okay, I feel more and more resentment rising in my chest. I lost so much and then I lost my reputation too, and hell, I might really soon lose my poor kitty. ;__; And so like.... to hell with trying to play it cool and play it nice and look into my heart for goodness, fuck that shit, b/c life is full of bitches and I keep letting myself get walked over and then I blame myself and cut myself down when half of the time it's not even my fucking fault.<br /><br />SO. I want to be more of a hard ass. xD; Yea, lame goal right? But I think then... maybe I won't get hurt. But hell, I don't know.<br /><br />Nelly is hella awesomeeeee and cute and I like her a lot and she keeps reminding me not to be serious. I need to like take a chill pill or sumthing b/c it's true, I get so tense all the time. >>; I'm really lonely and I want to spoil and love someone but I'm terrified. But I think it'll be okay if I keep my guard up this time. Like, if I'm more careful when I start stepping in. I tend to put 100 percent trust into anybody I meet (Unless they are wearing a clown mask) like a gullible idiot and b/c I put all my faith into people I get hurt so fucking much b/c I only expect them to do good.<br /><br />Well, enough of that shit. I won't expect people to be nice anymore, and when they are, I will be uber happy and enjoy it and consider it a treat.<br /><br />Anyway. So yea. I feel annoyed right now. Everything is going wrong. My brother stepped on my Malik earrings. My cat is still feeling lousy and aside from the kidney failure, her foot swelled up and she wouldn't eat or drink until earlier today. ;_;  I'm behind schedule, and I keep running into things that are pissing me off or making me sad and bah I can't have it. Like I can't do it. Then I got yelled at for getting MAD when my brother killed my earrings that took me 6 hours to make and my parents would leave me alone then while I was sitting there trying to pack my dad asks me if I want to put the cat down. GREAT TIMING. ;~~;<br /><br />Oye. Whatever. I shall turn positive once I get to teh lovely Aimee's house. I OWE HER MY LIFE. Or somehting. ;__; She's the best person ever. Well, one of them. xD; It's funny how you end up realizing the people who truly love you after wasting your feelings on others who don't give a shit... yup yup.. Well. Bah. <br /><br />I'ma be a hard ass and draw more blood.<br /><br />I MADE NELLY AN AWESOME GIFT.  SUICIDE DUCK. I made him. He's fucking awesome. <3 YARH. <br /><br />Tomorrow I get to Fremont at 9:38, take teh train to sac and arrive at <br /><br />Friday we leave Sac at 6 am and go to FANIME.<br /><br />I'll be there until Monday... whatever time. So if you are going, drop me a line~<br /><br />Will be cosplaying as TEH SEXAH MALIK-SAMA, annnd Zero Kiryuu from VK. 83 Hope to see ppl there~! <br /><br />UH. This is stress relief guiz.

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm wondering if it'll ever get easier. I felt really good to be moving out of school, felt like I could finally refresh myself and start over on a clean slate. I managed to pass my classes (somehow) and the anti depressants have been working pretty well. So, life finally, started looking okay. <br /><br />When I got home from school, I realized my cat was sick. She's been at the vet since Saturday, after I begged my parents to pay for her vet bill .... :/ I'll have to pay them back at some point but I'm really hardcore broke right now. I have less then 100 dollars in my bank account and that will hardly cover my fanime room costs. ;___;  So, her bill has been over 2,000 dollars now.... and we still don't know if she'll be okay, and we won't know until tonight. I've been crying less and stuff but... I just... I don't understand anymore. How can so many bad things be happening at once... I just want to curl up and die... especially if she is not okay... I raised my kitty since I was 4, y'know, she's the only one who I knew would always be here, to sleep next to me and cheer me up when Im sad... and like... how could... anybody take that away, when it was all I really could count on.<br /><br />Well... I won't know until tonight so I should try to stay hopeful.<br /><br />My life has crumbled to pieces, people keep harassing me and telling me what an awful person I am and how fucked up I am for being emotional. I can't fucking help it.  And maybe Im trying to be better, and -failing- but at least I'm fucking trying. I've never tried so hard to be nice and contain my emotions in my entire life and now for some reason I'm being treated worse then ever. <br /><br />I don't love myself, not even close. But I don't think I'm that awful of a person either. I really only want to love people and I love them so much that sometimes I smother them. I know I need to change this, but it's not like my intentions have been cruel (not recently, not in the past few years, actually.)<br /><br />So I don't know what to do. I've lived my life trusting others and giving my heart away and now suddenly, I feel at a loss for words. I don't understand how people can be so cruel and I'm terrified now. I don't feel like there is anyone who could protect me and the world is so cold. I saw so much hope in people and now I just feel disgust towards them. I don't know who to trust anymore, I've been betrayed by some of my closest friends and I feel imprisoned. <br /><br />...so life... life is ass.. And I'm trying not to cry and freak out anymore and I'm doing better, but... I really hate it. I want something good to happen and... every time good things come close to happening something worse comes along. <br /><br />I really, really, really, need to roleplay or something. .___. I don't feel confident about my writing ability right now at all, but if anybody was interested at all, maybe they could message me? (MSN, AIM, or here is fine.) I'd prefer Yuugiou but I'm willing to try other things.<br /><br />Thanks guys.<br /><br />Edit: So my cat is back from the vet. .___. 25% chance of recovery...<br /><br />. . .<br /><br />;______; <br /><br />-sigh-<br /><br /><div class="header2">Requests</div><br /><b>Slots:</b><br /><br />1.<a href="http://kk-the-fox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/k/kk-the-fox.gif?5" alt=":iconkk-the-fox:" title="kk-the-fox"/></a>(KK and Max)<br />2.<a href="http://yao-ling.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/yao-ling.png?5" alt=":iconyao-ling:" title="yao-ling"/></a> (started) (tentacle rape) (collab.)<br />3.<a href="http://meeps.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/meeps.png" alt=":iconmeeps:" title="meeps"/></a> (OtogixMalik) <br />4.<a href="http://himitsu-kuri.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/i/himitsu-kuri.jpg" alt=":iconhimitsu-kuri:" title="himitsu-kuri"/></a> (YuugixMokuba) (started)<br />5.<a href="http://amarena-berry.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/m/amarena-berry.png?3" alt=":iconamarena-berry:" title="amarena-berry"/></a> (Amarena)<br /><b>FULL FOR NOW</b> But go ahead and make a request if you have one and I'll give you a slot once I finish some of those. <3 Probably. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> <br /><br /><br /><div class="header2"><b>Gift Art</b></div><br /><b>You guys are all awesome.

                <description><![CDATA[ I realize I haven't been active for almost two months now. I've been going through a really painful break up and it's having a devastating effect on my life. As I'm trying to heal and get help, I decided its best not to be active on devart, though I will stop by to post things once in awhile, I'll be more active on facebook or Tegaki E. (Find me - I'm Akila_Ishtar)<br /><br />As far as commissions go, I am very sorry for those of you who canceled your orders because of my absence. It was very unprofessional of me, and I honestly had no idea that things were going to get this bad. If you are still interested here is the information: <a href="http://akila-ishtar.deviantart.com/journal/23049574/">[link]</a><br /><br />But pleasseee do not except a quick reply if you contact me through devart, please EMAIL me, or contact me via MSN @: Pharaoh_Malik@hotmail.com. <br /><br />I love you guys, and I miss this site dearly. I'd just rather not spazz out and completely fuck up things more than they already are fucked up. ;__; I'd like to say it couldn't get worst, but it very well could and I don't want to take any chances. Love you guys. <3<br /><br />ALSO. I really DO NOT appreciate attack notes. Anymore and I'll block whoever is sending it to me. I want devart to be an enjoyable place, not a site where I'm scared to go on because I don't want to be put into anymore pain. ~_~<br /><br /><3 Aki<br /><br />But yea, guiz feel free to MSN me or IM me on Aim: littledipper5115.

                <description><![CDATA[ 1. What does your DeviantART name mean and why did you join this site?<br /><br />I joined awhile back b/c I wanted to be able to fave people's art. Then, a year later or something, I decided to borrow the school scanner and post some stuff. *shrug* After that I became active.<br /><br />2.

                <description><![CDATA[ *shrug* WHY NOT.<br /><br />I feel like devArt's been dead lately. ~_~ Annoying b/c I happen to be pumping out work that I'm proud of.<br /><br />But then again.. maybe I'm just not active enough. I've been such a bum, trying to get away from depression. And just when it worked.... I had to have a spazz about going back to school. <br /><br />I really don't know what to do. I was lying in bed last night and I was thinking about school and imagining myself all alone and I just starting crying. I don't know what to do. I feel everybody I've really cared about the past two years has abandoned me... I know that's not true, but losing 3 people like that!? That's too many! <br /><br />;w; <br /><br />I don't know what's wrong with me. <br /><br />:/<br /><br />Anyway I'm very much addicted to Code Geass now and if anybody wants to geek it with me send me a message. 83 Meg is also making me watch Gundam Wing, and it's pretty good so far. Though. >> The main girl is annoying!!!! XO<br /><br />TYPICAL.<br /><br />We went Ice Skating yesterday. I was awful.. ;; but I had fun.. .^///^; Meg and Youji were really adorable and really good. D8 I'll get better! I'm glad I got a work out.... ^^ My legs are killing me.... x.< It was so cheap though, I hope we can go more often.

                <description><![CDATA[ owo So... Yuu-chan and I hosted Malik's birthday party/christmas party... feast thing today.<br /><br />.... I'm really dissapointed, but I think other people had fun so that's good. (AT LEAST, I hope they did or I'll be really mad!) <br /><br />...I mean, I guess it's because I'm sick and pmsing and have been running around all day in night making sure we all have the right things and I Meg and I kept having communication errors and I feel like all we've been doing lately is arguing and that makes me feel very sad and doesn't help anything at all.<br /><br />And I guess I thought MAYBE I'd get more than a  few minutes at a time to sit down and hang out with my girlfriend and her friends and like, play games or watch anime or something, but it was a constant making food, and picking up dishes and this and that... ;__; I just want one day to spend with Yuu-chan already! It's insane not being able to spend time with her like we did when I was at school. I think I'm going crazy and when we are talking we are always stressing about this and that... and... ugh..I dunno... I'm sick of it.<br /><br />Anyway. I nice crowd showed up and some of us did half assed cosplay (none of us had wigs) which was awesome. I was Malik, (surmwhat) and I ended up freaking out and crying - but I suppose that can go with the cosplaying , after all, who doesn't cry on their birthday? (and Malik would have the right to at least) <br /><br />We had lots of food. I think it was enough. I realize now I hardly ate at all, but I think everybody else got to eat the right amount of food. Uhm. We made Ra cakes too...: <br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/107231630/"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.com/fs38/150/i/2008/358/a/7/Winged_Dragon_of_Ra_Cake_by_Akila_Ishtar.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/107232112/"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs39/150/i/2008/358/e/9/Chibi_Ra_Cake_by_Akila_Ishtar.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><br /><br />They are a little ghetto, not as we planned, though I think Yuu-chan's looks amazing. 83;;<br /><br />...She also gave me the most awesome Christmas gift ever and I heart her for it. She bought me an ankh necklace in silver - my favorite! It's gorgeous. I must have the best girlfriend ever. (even when we're bickering... she's still the best... D,8 ) <br /><br /><br />But I'm a little upset... my mom was hardcore nagging me...  even though I was cleaning, lyke ALL DAY! D8 Cleaning and cooking and more cleaning and more cooking AND THANK RA FOR <a href="http://kaoi-ni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaoi-ni.gif?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaoi-ni:" title="kaoi-ni"/></a> FOR HELPING ME SOOOOO MUCH. .__. I owe you more coffee... <3<br /><br />Anyway, stressful day, I broke down a lot because of my mom and everything else, and Nicole not showing or even bothering to call and the fact that I didn't spend much time with my girl and I didn't really eat or drink much and I'm still sick... and this and that, but I'm glad that people had fun. I think they did. D8; I dunno. ;;<br /><br />AHHHHHH.....!! WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE ME HAPPY? IDUNNO.<br /><br />;; Ah I'll fix this journal up later it's too hard to finish it with teh ppl here. I'm at a work christmas party thing. Listening to the parts of the convo that AREN'T about sex.

                <description><![CDATA[ ...There as no happiness in what happened. And I feel like more things are always being ripped out of my life as time passes.<br /><br />"To have loved and lost... is better than to have never loved at all." <<--- I disagree! D<<br /><br />.... how can you know how wonderful something is if you've never had it? How can you miss something that has never left? Why be unhappy not experiencing love? I was perfectly happy before love came into my life at all! D< Losing friends, losing somebody I care for more than a friend, it doesn't matter - once you experience love... the pain of losing it... doesn't fade easily... I wonder if it fades at all.<br /><br />...Finals is almost over. I didn't think I'd make it. I really wanted to give up everything for her. Fail class, starve myself... whatever I could do to hurt myself, because hurting her is all I can think of wanting now. It's funny, because she was the last person I'd ever want to hurt before this. ~_~<br /><br />So, if you've noticed.... I'm falling into a depression... or rather I think I was thrown into one by outside forces. I'm working hard on recouvering and I can find happy moments in life. But whenever I'm left alone I become a wreck again. Everything little reminds me of the past and what I've lost for myself. I wish I had something positive to look back on, or to look forward to. But there is nothing positive about this situation for me. I'll always suffer the blow most of all, even though all the other parties will probably end up fine, a little of me will probably always be dead inside. <br /><br />It's all my fault. <br /><br />...But it pains me to know this, when I really didn't want to cause this trouble.<br /><br />...I just hate myself more because of this. I also feel lied to and betrayed. Maybe I was just kidding myself in thinking that I know her.<br /><br />It's ok. I just wish she would have trusted me with a request... rather than... this... banishment... ....rather than be... erased.. I'd like to have been giving... a warning or... just... a sign.<br /><br />.___. I'm wondering what to do this month. I'll be alone so often. I hope.. I don't go crazy. I hope I can find good things. I hope I can think about my friends and my girlfriend and the holidays instead.... it's almost been a year since my feelings were strong like this... I want them to go away, but what can I do? ... I just want my friend back, really.<br /><br />.....<br /><br /><br />Fin.<br /><br /><div class="header2">Requests</div><br /><b>Slots:</b><br /><br />1.<a href="http://kk-the-fox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/k/kk-the-fox.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkk-the-fox:" title="kk-the-fox"/></a>(KK and Max)<br />2.<a href="http://syershasfeets.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/y/syershasfeets.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsyershasfeets:" title="syershasfeets"/></a> (Finished:<a href="http://Akila-Ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Clock-for-Missi-94076986">[link]</a>)<br />3.<a href="http://kaoi-ni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaoi-ni.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaoi-ni:" title="kaoi-ni"/></a> (Finished: <a href="http://akila-ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Carmella-the-Panda-91334723">[link]</a>)<br />4.<a href="http://yao-ling.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/yao-ling.png?2" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyao-ling:" title="yao-ling"/></a> (started) (tentacle rape) (collab.)<br />5.<a href="http://meeps.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/meeps.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmeeps:" title="meeps"/></a> (OtogixMalik) <br />6.<a href="http://himitsu-kuri.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/i/himitsu-kuri.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhimitsu-kuri:" title="himitsu-kuri"/></a> (YuugixMokuba) (started)<br /><br /><b>FULL FOR NOW</b> But go ahead and make a request if you have one and I'll give you a slot once I finish some of those. <3 Probably. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> <br /><br /><br /><div class="header2"><b>Gift Art</b></div><br /><b>You guys are all awesome.

                <description><![CDATA[ I have the nicest girlfriend in the world... I think she's too good for me. .__. I always want what I can't have, I don't understand why I'm never fully satisfied with life. But I am very happy right now (for me... XD;<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> and that's good. I just keep having weird dreams about people of my past and crying and crying over things that will never be. It hurts so bad and I'm really not trying to hurt myself! I just.. I can't control my feelings, I get so angry and jealous and I want to melt away and cry and explode and.... .___. i dunno. *makes no sense* <br /><br />I really care for my girlfriend so much, but behaving like this is hurting myself and her and I can't stop. So... ya... anyway, based on this I decided to go back to therapy at school.. and maybe that will help me a bit.<br /><br />I used to cheer myself up through roleplaying, but ALL of my roleplays seems so relevant... and they hurt because they are so close to home. And especially with T-chan, I love our roleplay so much but... I can't handle it sometimes, I just cry when I try to play Malik when he is angsting because those feelings are MY feeling too. .___. I wanna do my best to stop relating myself to him, but its really hard. *sigh*<br /><br />Anyway, this is just... a personal journal thing for me to vent.

D:<br /><br />In other news. 2D Design is driving me up a wall. I can't handle much more of this class. I HAVE NO MOTIVATION WHATSOEVER. It's killing me. We have a project due today that I do not have the slightest interest in. ALSO. I only have about 2 hours left to do it. (I have a class at 2, and then I can work on my project from 4-6.) We're supposed to create a Logo from Obama and then a poster for his inaguration. >>; I  mean, I'm just not a graphic designer. I shouldn't be whining but I'm sick of my teacher and I'm sick of the class, and IN GENERAL, just sick of everything. Because my dorm room toliet as been broken for THREE DAYS NOW, and I feel sick and I'm scared to eat for fear we might not be able to find working public bathrooms ... and.. ugh.. I'm just bitter.<br /><br />~________~<br /><br />I'm trying to get things done, but it seems like right when I finish one thing, more things are added to the to do list. :< <br /><br />On top of that one of the girls that was gonna cosplay with us in the masquerade dropped out! D: My girlfriend volunteered to do it, but I really don't want her to have to. I hope we find somebody else.... D: Oye.<br /><br />SO. Anybody have an idea of what I could do for an Obama logo? 8D;;<br /><br /><div class="header2">Requests</div><br /><b>Slots:</b><br /><br />1.<a href="http://kk-the-fox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/k/kk-the-fox.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkk-the-fox:" title="kk-the-fox"/></a>(KK and Max)<br />2.<a href="http://syershasfeets.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/y/syershasfeets.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsyershasfeets:" title="syershasfeets"/></a> (Finished:<a href="http://Akila-Ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Clock-for-Missi-94076986">[link]</a>)<br />3.<a href="http://kaoi-ni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaoi-ni.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaoi-ni:" title="kaoi-ni"/></a> (Finished: <a href="http://akila-ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Carmella-the-Panda-91334723">[link]</a>)<br />4.<a href="http://yao-ling.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/yao-ling.gif?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyao-ling:" title="yao-ling"/></a> (started) (tentacle rape) (collab.)<br />5.<a href="http://meeps.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/meeps.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmeeps:" title="meeps"/></a> (OtogixMalik) <br />6.<a href="http://himitsu-kuri.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/i/himitsu-kuri.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhimitsu-kuri:" title="himitsu-kuri"/></a> (YuugixMokuba) (started)<br /><br /><b>FULL FOR NOW</b> But go ahead and make a request if you have one and I'll give you a slot once I finish some of those. <3 Probably. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> <br /><br /><br /><div class="header2"><b>Gift Art</b></div><br /><b>You guys are all awesome.

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm desperate. I don't have a job until April, but I've been spending my munnies trying to get money for convention time. I'm sure by the time it actually rolls around, I'll have made a good amount of money, but right now, trying to book a hotel and get my cosplays done is living hell.<br /><br />D8;; SO, basically, I need some help. Here is the break down.<br /><br />Crown Plaza: 141 dollars a night for three nights. (Not counting tax. >><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> For three nights, that's 423 dollars for the weekend for one person. If I can get a roommate, it'll cost us 211 for the weekend. If I can get 3 roommates, it'll cost us 105 for the weekend. SEE? It goes from hella expensive to reasonable. 5 roommates - 70 dollars for the weekend.<br /><br />Fanime registration for a weekend: 50 dollars if you do it now. <br /><br />Fanimecon is Memorial Day weekend, May 22-25, and has all sorts of events all day and night for your geeking needs. If you are even MILDLY interested and I know you via internet or w/e (yea, I'm not accepting strangers to room with me)<br /><br />Even if you are interested in just staying with me a night or 2, that'd be so awesome. I'm really looking forward to Fanime, it's like Christmas to me, and it'd just be great to share the experience with others. :3;; *corny* <br /><br />Nobody has to pay me for the room until the weekend of con,  so ya kno, nothing is written in blood or anything. If you are interested comment me here and I can give you details. If you are traveling from... somewhere, I can give you information - there is an airport real close to the convention center, San Jose Airport. I'll give you my number and email in stuff in a note for contact reasons and wutnot.:3<br /><br />As far as expenses for food and such go, I was hoping if I could 3 or 4 people we could all chip in and buy food before con and just split it. One person buy drinks, one person buys snacks, one person bring sandwiches etc. It'll be an awesome weekend -  I guarantee it. <br /><br />If you are underage and are interested, you can have your parents talk to me, or to my parents y'know, for reassurance. >>; I'm a good girl. Even if that might not be as fun, it's the honest truth. :/<br /><br />Also, if you just want entertainment - I'll be in the masquerade making  a fool of mahself. That should be reason enough. XD;;;<br /><br />>>: In other news:<br /><br />~_~ Anyway, I owe so many people art right now. I'm going to get it done before December so I can offer commissions. D8;; I'm sort of freaking out because being an art major is not much motivation to get any other art work done. Thank goodness second semester is rolling around in a few months and I won't have such a heavy load of art classes.<br /><br />I'M sorry to the people whose birthdays I missed and what not! D8;;; ILU. I'm just swamped. >>: I'm going to the city tomorrow and I have lots of homework, but I'm gonna work my ass off today!

                <description><![CDATA[ So, somehow I'm part of the Fanime 2009 Masquerade now. .... People should stop by to see me humiliate myself onstage!! xD!<br /><br />I'm not supposed to give much away, but I'm cosplaying with The Cupcake Kingdom (a new group that used to work with Candy Mountain Inc) and we are doing Vampire Knight. <br /><br />This will be like... my most intricate cosplay ever and it lyke, requires sewing and all these little pieces and I'M SO FREAKED OUT. But luckily I know people who can sew, and I think they are gonna help me, and if they do I'm going to have to give them a gift when it's all finished because... .__. ...yea... I can tell this is going to be a lot of work. (HAVCE YOU SEEN THEIR SCHOOL UNIFORMS?) Anyway, I'll be going as Zero Kiryu. Gah, I started reading the manga and he ended up being my favorite so far anyway. He is so amazing and pretty. Just ordered my wig, but that's just the begining. Wish me luck guys!!<br /><br />I'm also pretty sure I'm going to be cosplaying Malik for a couple hours at Yaoi Con this year. I was unprepared so I haven't yet fixed it up. ~_~; So if I do cosplay, it will be the same not finished one from Fanime last year. I hope to get the hoodie and the cloak (and another set of chains!?) by Fanime 09. 8O;;<br /><br /><b>(IF ANYBODY WANTS TO COMMISSION MALIK'S CLOAK- DRESS THING AND HOODED CAPE THING FOR ME I'LL GIVE YOU LOTS OF MUNNIES)</b><br /><br />>>; So I was also going to do Ryouga and Mello but I think that's wayyy too many cosplays to get done on time. I think I'd rather cosplay as Ryouga, (not just because it's easier!) but then I'm not sure. ~_~;; Advice anyone?<br /><br />Anyway sorry I haven't been around. Been busy with school. .__. I need money so I might open commissions up when I'm done with requests. ~_~<br /><br />Bai. <br /><br /><3 Akila<br /><br />EDIT: Can't find my Malik earrings anywhere. ._. I'm going into panic attack mode right now. Being at home makes me feel stressed and it's so messy here I feel like I can't even move.

                <description><![CDATA[ (Took this from my LJ. No debating/flaming please. It'd be nice if those who are planning on voting, read this though.)<br /><br />Stole this from Gail, who got it from Bethany and her mom.  I hope people read this and see the harm that Palin could do for this country if she wins the election. Please, please, read this and reconsider your vote. For the polar bears, damn it.<br /><br />Ever read Harry Potter? She reminds me a bit of Dolores Umbridge. .__. I've never hated a ficitonal character more in my life, EVER. And just imagine, just imagine if Umbridge jumped out of her text and starting running the country. I think I'd leave for some where, far, far away.<br /><br />I'm thinking pluto.<br /><br /><br />"Eve Ensler, the American playwright, performer, feminist and activist<br />best known for "The Vagina Monologues", wrote the following about<br />Sarah Palin:<br /><br /><br />I am having Sarah Palin nightmares. I dreamt last night that she was a<br />member of a club where they rode snowmobiles and wore the claws of<br />drowned and starved polar bears around their necks. I have a<br />particular thing for Polar Bears. Maybe it's their snowy whiteness or<br />their bigness or the fact that they live in the arctic or that I have<br />never seen one in person or touched one. Maybe it is the fact that<br />they live so comfortably on ice.<br /><br />Whatever it is, I need the polar bears.<br /><br />I don't like raging at women. I am a Feminist and have spent my life<br />trying to build community, help empower women and stop violence<br />against them. It is hard to write about Sarah Palin. This is why the<br />Sarah Palin choice was all the more insidious and cynical. The people<br />who made this choice count on the goodness and solidarity of<br />Feminists.<br /><br />But everything Sarah Palin believes in and practices is antithetical<br />to Feminism which for me is part of one story -- connected to saving<br />the earth, ending racism, empowering women, giving young girls<br />options, opening our minds, deepening tolerance, and ending violence<br />and war.<br /><br />I believe that the McCain/Palin ticket is one of the most dangerous<br />choices of my lifetime, and should this country chose those candidates<br />the fall-out may be so great, the destruction so vast in so many areas<br />that America may never recover. But what is equally disturbing is the<br />impact that duo would have on the rest of the world. Unfortunately,<br />this is not a joke. In my lifetime I have seen the clownish, the<br />inept, the bizarre be elected to the presidency with regularity.<br /><br />Sarah Palin does not believe in evolution. I take this as a metaphor.<br />In her world and the world of Fundamentalists nothing changes or gets<br />better or evolves. She does not believe in global warming. The melting<br />of the arctic, the storms that are destroying our cities, the<br />pollution and rise of cancers, are all part of God's plan. She is<br />fighting to take the polar bears off the endangered species list. The<br />earth, in Palin's view, is here to be taken and plundered. The wolves<br />an d the bears are here to be shot and plundered. The oil is here to<br />be taken and plundered. Iraq is here to be taken and plundered. As she<br />said herself of the Iraqi war, "It was a task from God."<br /><br />Sarah Palin does not believe in abortion. She does not believe women<br />who are raped and incested and ripped open against their will should<br />have a right to determine whether they have their rapist's baby or<br />not.<br /><br />She obviously does not believe in sex education or birth control. I<br />imagine her daughter was practicing abstinence and we know how many<br />babies that makes.<br /><br />Sarah Palin does not much believe in thinking. From what I gather she<br />has tried to ban books from the library, has a tendency to dispense<br />with people who think independently. She cannot tolerate an<br />environment of ambiguity and difference. This is a woman who could and<br />might very well be the next president of the United States . She would<br />govern one of the most diverse populations on the earth.<br /><br />Sarah believes in guns. She has her own custom Austrian hunting rifle.<br />She has been known to kill 40 caribou at a clip. She has shot hundreds<br />of wolves from the air.<br /><br />Sarah believes in God. That is of course her right, her private right.<br />But when God and Guns come together in the public sector, when war is<br />declared in God's name, when the rights of women are denied in his<br />name, that is the end of separation of church and state and the<br />undoing of everything America has ever tried to be.<br /><br />I write to my sisters. I write because I believe we hold this election<br />in our hands. This vote is a vote that will determine the future not<br />just of the U.S. , but of the planet. It will determine whether we<br />create policies to sa... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>EDIT:::: <br /><br />OMG THANK YOU OIT FOR FIXING MY WIRELESS INTERNET. IT IS STILL CRAPPY, YES, BUT WHEN IT IS NOT BEING CRAPPY IT WORKS!! SANNKU!!! </b><br /><br /><br />PLEASE READ, PPLZ. I R SAD.<br /><br />So, yea, I'm in school again. Crappy wireless is predictable. EXCEPT THIS IS BEYOND CRAPPY WIRLESS.<br /><br />See, for some reason, the wireless is coming in but it will not let me LOG IN. >>; So like, I entered my username that I've had since last year, and it sayz, "INVALID USERNAME"... then I tried Chris' and it said "INVALID USERNAME" and we were like, wtf. So then we decided to keep trying... >>; Then they said "SYSTEM DOES NOT REGISTER IP ADDRESS." Uhm? Hello? Since when is THAT necessary. (btw it's not.) Uhm, then it banned me from trying again. <br /><br />After I'm done using the DELL in the library to finally get online, I'm gonna hit up OIT and see what the friggin' problem is!! D< <br /><br />Anyway. I got a Live Journal. D8 I dunno, it looked like a good way to kill time. (UHM, 'CEPT, GUESS WUT, NET DON'T WORK NAO) <br /><br />Go here, and add me!! ^3^ <a href="http://akila-ishtar.livejournal.com">[link]</a><br /><br />Yea, it's really retarded right now. But that's cause I haven't been able to get online. D8<br /><br />So, I've been watching Princess Princess, which Meg kindly let me borrow...  for... well, hours on end now. Just cuz. I have NOTHING ELSE TO DO.<br /><br />But it's cute. The three main dudez, are sooo like, pretty!! I CAN'T DECIDE. o.o I WANT ALL OF JOO. NAO. 8D<br /><br />I'm pretty excited about my floor this year. Apparently we are the GREEN FLOOR. And it's sort of like being in a club/community more than it was before. And the RA is super awesome and has all these activities planned, so us New Hall people (trapped in the jail cells) can actually make FRIENDS which each other and shit! So I'm excited! Oh and they are gonna hook us up with freshmenz too. This is one really good thing that is happening. :3 <br /><br />My classes started today. Psychology seems like it'll be awesome. I have Sister Carol, who is like this super sweet lady and I can't wait to take her class. Then at 1, I have Outdoor Painting with Robert... can't say I'm too excited about that one. Oil painting... is something I've never done. I'M SCARED. D8 Erm, plus it's gonna cost us hella monies... and I still haven't seen wut I need to buy for my classes tomorrow. BUT. I am assuming, I'll need Photography stuff ( a camera!! OMG IM GONNA BE BROKE) and w/e the hell 2d Design is. As far as Drawing goes, I should be covered, aside from that big paper we always have to use. *Grunt* Yea, bigger isn't ALWAYS better.<br /><br />Yesterday was alright. Chris and I had a CAR for the day!!! >D We drove to Target, Staples, Coffee and Hillsdale. Suprisingly, we didn't get lost. TELL ME WHY, someone from Hawaii knows their way around this are better than me! D< Oh well. Haha.<br /><br />ZOMG. HOT TOPIC WANTS ME TO SPEND ALL MY MUNNIES THERE! CUZ, LIKE, THEY HAD RAINBOW SOCKS. *__* AND A RAINBOW WRIST BAND. AND BELT. AND I WANT ALL OF IT. IONO. RAINBOWZ ARE PRETTY. X__X I WANT TO COSPLAY SUPER GHEY PRIDE MALIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />(Complete with HANDCUFFS for a lil ghey S&M)<br /><br />So tell me? SHOULD I DO IT? >3 <br /><br />And I'm tired of my wig. IT'S TOO SHORT. I need a new one. But the color is FAB-O-LOUS! Really, darlings, it is. It makes mah skin tingle in pleasure. *3*<br /><br />Although, because of the lack of internetz I wanna go home today! Gotta wait one more day. My room is so BO-RING. >>: Can't wait to decorate. I think I want a GIANT CHAIR for the room. I was having furniture-gasms at Target the other day. Everything is so pretty. I want a pretty room that I can force my friends to come to and hang out or spend the night or something!! :3 That'll make me happy. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />All in all, I'm happy to be able to caress the sweet plastic of a keyboard once more. Because I miss you internetz. I really doez.<br /><br />._____.<br /><br /><div class="header2">Requests</div><br /><b>Slots:</b><br /><br />1.<a href="http://kk-the-fox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/k/kk-the-fox.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkk-the-fox:" title="kk-the-fox"/></a>(KK and Max)<br />2.<a href="http://syershasfeets.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/y/syershasfeets.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsyershasfeets:" title="syershasfeets"/></a> (Finished:<a href="http://Akila-Ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Clock-for-Missi-94076986">[link]</a>)<br />3.<a href="http://kaoi-ni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaoi-ni.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaoi-ni:" title="kaoi-ni"/></a> (Finished: <a href="http://akila-ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Carmella-the-Panda... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So... quick update. I'm back in Belmont. :/ Dunno how this makes me feel. My roommate are cool though. And I've seen some familiar faces. But... I also see friends reuniting and hugging and squealing... and I'm sort of jealous. Wish I had that, is all. I wonder why it's been hard for me to make friends and stuff. :/<br /><br />Gawd, I need Nicole here to make me social again! XD;<br /><br />But anyway. It's okay. I'll see how things are once I start classes again. And I think it'll be fine until Chris leaves. Then I'll be... super special emo~! And everybody is asking me about Chelsea... and I'm like... ._______.;;<br /><br />Ah well. So. Last night was being being in denial and not wanting to pack and shit like that ... then this SPIDER attacked me and I really couldn't pack and I was freaked out and like,... hyperventilating. So I didn't get much sleep. XD;;;;;;;;;<br /><br />Tomorrow and the rest of the day should be boring, cause classes don't start until weds. (Honestly, thank Ra) But tonight I'm going out to dinner with Chris.. MUST. HIT. UP. SUSHI - MONSTA~~!! And then go back to my room and be bored, probably... *shrug*<br /> <br />I don't have any food except my Honey Bunches of Oats. XD;<br /><br />And lyke, I didn't have time to pack much, so I have like, nothing but a book, 2 DVD's, clothes and paper and stuff. XD;;;; yea, I'm lame. All my other roommates like, moved in a whole HOUSE. Lawl.<br /><br />Trying to get people to visit my school. Cause that'd be cool. I'm hoping the work load isn't so bad.<br /><br />I want to make friends with the freshmen but I don't wanna seem like a total loser going up to people and saying "HEY ARE U A FRESHMEN WHO NEEDS FRIENDS?' I guess if I was charismatic I would. Or maybe I should tell Chris we should go up to people sitting alone and ask to eat with them. Tomorrow maybe. Tonight is going out night. SO yay. Going out as in, walking down a hill and across the street. X3<br /><br />DAMN, the good thing about Forsh orientation was being forced to meet new people. Now I'm on my own... :/<br /><br />Wish me luck.<br /><br />.__.;<br /><br /><div class="header2">Requests</div><br /><b>Slots:</b><br /><br />1.<a href="http://kk-the-fox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/k/kk-the-fox.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkk-the-fox:" title="kk-the-fox"/></a>(KK and Max)<br />2.<a href="http://syershasfeets.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/y/syershasfeets.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsyershasfeets:" title="syershasfeets"/></a> (Finished:<a href="http://Akila-Ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Clock-for-Missi-94076986">[link]</a>)<br />3.<a href="http://kaoi-ni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaoi-ni.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaoi-ni:" title="kaoi-ni"/></a> (Finished: <a href="http://akila-ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Carmella-the-Panda-91334723">[link]</a>)<br />4.<a href="http://yao-ling.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/yao-ling.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyao-ling:" title="yao-ling"/></a> (started) (tentacle rape) (collab.)<br />5.<a href="http://meeps.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/meeps.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmeeps:" title="meeps"/></a> (OtogixMalik) <br />6.<a href="http://himitsu-kuri.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/i/himitsu-kuri.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhimitsu-kuri:" title="himitsu-kuri"/></a> (YuugixMokuba) (started)<br /><br /><b>FULL FOR NOW</b> But go ahead and make a request if you have one and I'll give you a slot once I finish some of those. <3 Probably. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> <br /><br /><br /><div class="header2"><b>Gift Art</b></div><br /><b>You guys are all awesome.

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm sorry, I just feel so empty... like... I dunno, I don't feel like doing anything, I don't care about anything. I try to watch anime, or play games, or do what I normally do to entertain myself, but nothing makes me care. I can watch something funny and I won't laugh anymore. I can talk to my friends, but I don't feel much emotion online at all. I really want to roleplay again and try to bring some sort of enjoyment back into my life but everybody's abanoned ship... or are frustrated me... or I just can't talk to them because it hurts...<br /><br />And so, with trying to avoid pain, I feel just emptiness... <br /><br />I have zero desire to return to school. My friends aren't coming back. They hurt me. I know they didn't mean to. But it's like... we had so much and they are just going to leave... like... we had nothing...<br /><br />...and I have to do everything Darin says or he'll never take me back...<br /><br />...and I get jealous of everything, everybody... I just hate happy people so much some times.<br /><br />The people I used to talk to that would cheer me up, those people I loved so much, those people that made me so happy, they are either gone now, or they are way too unhappy for me to bother. I don't want to give my friends more trouble... I know Gail is sick of life as well and when we were talking all I could say to her was, "hey, at least we're alive. " I just can't give her more advice than that. I understand how she feels in many ways, but in other ways our problems are completely different. <br /><br />The only thing I've been doing on my own that has given me any joy is listening to music. I'd fucking die without music.<br /><br />I had a bad dream about going to AX in the future. <br /><br />I keep reminding myself of what I've had. Missing K-chan and Kara. They are still around... but... keeping them in my heart is too painful.<br /><br />....my irl friends are so busy with work, and they are either miserable or happy. I can't really hang out with either. ._____. So it's just... empty.<br /><br />So I'm sorry I haven't replied to comments or anything. I do appreciate them. I just don't feel much right now.<br /><br />....and y'know, if people wanna bitch about me writing about being unhappy in my journal that is just fine. But where else am I suppose to do it? Two non-confrontational people do not make for a good couple. But I suppose two confrontation people don't either. :/ <br /><br />Meg has been very good to me though. It's nice to have some sort of company in this time of lonliness. The one problem is that...while new friends are always awesome with lots of promise for the future and what not... you still always miss the old ones. Even if there isn't much hope to mend those old relationships... you still feel empty when they are gone... and nothing can really heal those scars...<br /><br />.___. <br /><br />So I probably won't be active for a little while. Maybe I will when school starts. I can draw when I'm feeling bursts of emotions. But emptiness isn't really helping my muse.<br /><br />Sorry folks. Love you - loyal watchers and friends. <3<br /><br /><div class="header2">Requests</div><br /><b>Slots:</b><br /><br />1.<a href="http://kk-the-fox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/k/kk-the-fox.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkk-the-fox:" title="kk-the-fox"/></a>(KK and Max)<br />2.<a href="http://syershasfeets.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/y/syershasfeets.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsyershasfeets:" title="syershasfeets"/></a> (Finished:<a href="http://Akila-Ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Clock-for-Missi-94076986">[link]</a>)<br />3.<a href="http://kaoi-ni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaoi-ni.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaoi-ni:" title="kaoi-ni"/></a> (Finished: <a href="http://akila-ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Carmella-the-Panda-91334723">[link]</a>)<br />4.<a href="http://yao-ling.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/yao-ling.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyao-ling:" title="yao-ling"/></a> (started) (tentacle rape) (collab.)<br />5.<a href="http://meeps.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/meeps.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmeeps:" title="meeps"/></a> (OtogixMalik) <br />6.<a href="http://himitsu-kuri.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/i/himitsu-kuri.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhimitsu-kuri:" title="himitsu-kuri"/></a> (YuugixMokuba) (started)<br /><br /><b>FULL FOR NOW</b> But go ahead and make a request if you have one and I'll give you a slot once I finish some of those. <3 Probably. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> <br /><br /><br /><div class="header2"><b>Gift... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ How do people break up with each other? It's so sad... to end something that creates so many memories, that is such a big part of somebody's life...<br /><br />Two of my friends just broke up... and I dunno, reading what the journal of the one who did the breaking up... it made me really sad... and confused...  People shouldn't have to go through that...  it's so unfortunate.<br /><br />I think it's funny... I always get annoyed when people get together, but I feel really terrible when people break up... ._. I don't understand myself. <br /><br />...Everytime I talk to Darin, I feel less and less for him... I'm preoccupied, I get angry... I feel like he's doing everything wrong... maybe I'd be happier with somebody else. I know I'm being mean too, but that's cause I'm scared to let go and yet  I just want some space too.<br /><br />I mentioned us breaking up to him, and he's been guilt tripping me, ever since. I don't want to hurt him. He's also one of my best friends.... I don't want to go on without him... but the way we are now... we just need to grow more before we can decide if it was meant to be... I think we just aren't mature enough right now to really know.<br /><br />I dunno, I'm very confused...<br /><br />It's because, well, I'm the kind of person who HATES change above anything. If I could be the same age forever, I would... (not this age, of course... so far I'm not likin' 19...)  ....and have it so I'd have my friends and we'd always be friends and I wouldn't worry about them going anywhere, or moving away for school, or starting a life with a guy and growing up and leaving me behind...<br /><br />....so... to choose something that will result in inevitable change, is hard for me to grasp.<br /><br />But I want to find somebody... maybe that's foolish... just somebody to help me get over things, change my perspective a bit, somebody who can help me experience college properly... I dunno... and it's not like I want anything permanent... I just want to ENJOY life for once. I dunno if it's possible, but I just want that... or at least to be happier... maybe not happy ALL the time, but just once in awhile?<br /><br />My boyfriend keeps saying all this stuff, 'leave me, i'll die alone'.... he's making me sad. I don't want to... I just... emotionally it's hard to be with him.... and hell, I love him, but I know we're done... we're so done... each day I feel the last connections breaking...  but he's my best friend too...<br /><br />...I just want somebody who will give me space... but also always be there for me... somebody to balance my negativity... somebody who I can crawl next to and cuddle with when the going gets tough... but somebody who will let me play video games and watch my favorite anime without nagging me to pay attention to them...<br /><br />I don't understand how people find somebody to be with them. No matter how much you love somebody that doesn't make them love you back. That doesn't make you right for each other either. And sometimes the people you love most are your best friends. Which isn't really fair - because in the end, they'll love some guy better. Even if you stay with them your whole life until they meet some special person.... then you'll always be second place.<br /><br />I don't want second place. But hell, I don't even know what I want.<br /><br />I need change. I know it. I can't cry and cry and cry year after year and say I tried to make a difference, because my life hasn't changed much... yea, I went to college, and that made it worse, but, it's still really similar... and yea, more bad shit has been happening since I started college, but I guess that's just life, and shit, I just can never relax, and he isn't helping with that...<br /><br />...but how am I supposed to let go, when I feel like it's all I've got sometimes....<br /><br />...when you can't see your best friends when you need them most... when it always seems like the tears come when it's the  darkest and lonliest hour at night..<br /><br />...and when you can't find anybody online to talk to... so you rant about it on your blog....<br /><br />...and I know.... he's around... but he just keeps hurting me...<br /><br />...and sometimes I try to hit my head against the pillow and hope that I'll like, just explode or something, but it doesn't work, no matter how hard I scream....<br /><br />...then that sad song comes on the radio, the one that says just the right words, to tick you off....<br /><br />...<br /><br /><br />...I'm getting worse and worse at writing these things each time.. D: Please don't pay attention to the style or the grammar or anything, these are just my feelings and shit... ._.;; I don't feel like proofreading them... x.x<br /><br /><br />EDIT:: LOLWUT: <a href="http://www.popeater.com/music/article/bisexual-tune-ties-the-freaking-beatles/124847">[link]</a><br /><br /><div class="header2">Requests</div><br /><b>Slots:</b><br /><br />1.<a href="http://kk-the-fox.deviantart.com/"... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="header1"> </div> <br />Coming home Tuesday. I've been meaning to update this every time I got the chance to, but I've been... I guess, enjoying being disconnected? <br /><br />But a lot of things remind me of things I've lost, or things I miss. <br /><br />I think I can stay out of depression until I go home at least. It's nice to visit family, which is what we do out here.<br /><br />So, the first few days we went to New York. I... was really apathetic about it.. don't wanna talk about why, but it was nice. I still like San Fransisco a bit more, but NYC was much more flashy and stuff at night which was neat.<br /><br />Then we went to Maine and stayed for a couple nights with my Aunt Judi and Uncle Al. Maine is beautiful. I want to stay a summer there -- so if anybody else is up for it, they have lots of guest rooms and you should come with me! X3<br /><br />Judi's old dog, Tyra had to be put to sleep... ;^; ... but she had a new dog at the house, a golden red colored lab named Shamus. (dunno how to spell it) My aunt is a vet. assistant and apparently Shamus had been brought in as a puppy to be put to sleep because his legs were paralyzed. D: The original owners had kept him in the crate too long or something like that, and his legs didn't work at all, but my aunt saw him and adored him. Even though he had to scoot his butt around the floor cause he couldn't walk, his tail was always wagging. She told them not to put him to sleep and she said she'd buy him a cart so he could wheel around the house. Anyway, five days later his legs worked! All he needed was some TLC. It was a miracle! And Shamus is such a great dog, super friendly and loyal, it's so sad to think he was going to die because of neglegince. <br /><br />My Auntie Jen was throwing a party back in Mass so we drove back down for Saturday and we saw most of our cousins, all of our aunts and uncles, and a handful of new babies that are my and cousins now. <br /><br />For once I was able to talk to everybody (I used to get really shy around them) and it was  a lot of fun. But my favorite part was when four of the guys started playing guitar and all the women were singing and dancing. It was so awesome. They sounded great too. Its' really nice having such a big family, it's just sad that I never see them.... :'(<br /><br />... so I was in a good mood for a few days until we got home last night... My nana is one bed short and, well, let's just say the sleeping arrangments for me, involved very little sleep. That's why I'm at my Aunt Jen's and Uncle Rob's house for the night. (stealing their internet, btw) Hopefully I'll sleep here.<br /><br />Last night for some reason, all the problems I left at home, came back to me when I was trying to find another place to sleep at 6:00 am... I was crying cause I was tired and the floor was hard, but then I started remembering things and this and that and I got all these terrible longings and shit and it SUCKED. x.x But, at least, I think that will be my only bad night here. :/<br /><br />*sigh* <br /><br />So tomorrow we go to Boston, with some family. (haha, but it might end up being more than 'some&#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> I dunno what we are doing yet, but I'll be fine as long as we can get some Chowder - or Chow-da, as they say here.<br /><br />Love you all, but I'm glad to be away from the internet for the most part. Especially because when I contacted my friend from school on Facebook the other day, I found out he might not come back... so I'm trying not to think about it, because I might just cry if both of the people I was best friends with in school don't come back... it really, really sucks. I hate losing friends.<br /><br />Good thing family usually sticks around, huh? Even if they are way over here, they'll always take me back. :'3<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="header2">Requests</div><br /><b>Slots:</b><br /><br />1.<a href="http://kk-the-fox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/k/kk-the-fox.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkk-the-fox:" title="kk-the-fox"/></a>(KK and Max)<br />2.<a href="http://syershasfeets.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/y/syershasfeets.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsyershasfeets:" title="syershasfeets"/></a> (Clock) (half way done)<br />3.<a href="http://kaoi-ni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaoi-ni.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaoi-ni:" title="kaoi-ni"/></a> (Finished: <a href="http://akila-ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Carmella-the-Panda-91334723">[link]</a>)<br />4.<a href="http://yao-ling.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/yao-ling.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyao-ling:" title="yao-ling"/></a> (tentacle rape) (collab.)<br />5.<a href="http://meeps.deviantart.co... ]]></description>

I hope I don't explode one day.<br /><br />Girls are bitches and men are assholes.<br /><br />I wish I was asexual.<br /><br />Oh, and today I met an oh so special new friend. And I am so very happy. <br /><br />YAY. ISN'T LIFE GREAT. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. And I love all my special friends too. <br /><br />LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE.<br /><br />If this offends anybody, keep in mind it is MY JOURNAL and I can say what I want. <br /><br />But it shouldn't offend nobody. Cause I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY I COULD JUST DIE OF HAPPINESS.<br /><br />YAY. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><br /><div class="header2">Requests</div><br /><b>Slots:</b><br /><br />1.<a href="http://kk-the-fox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/k/kk-the-fox.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkk-the-fox:" title="kk-the-fox"/></a>(KK and Max)<br />2.<a href="http://syershasfeets.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/y/syershasfeets.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsyershasfeets:" title="syershasfeets"/></a> (Clock) (waiting for reference)<br />3.<a href="http://kaoi-ni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaoi-ni.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaoi-ni:" title="kaoi-ni"/></a> (Finished: <a href="http://akila-ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Carmella-the-Panda-91334723">[link]</a>)<br />4.<a href="http://yao-ling.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/yao-ling.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyao-ling:" title="yao-ling"/></a> (tentacle rape) (collab.)<br />5.<a href="http://meeps.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/meeps.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmeeps:" title="meeps"/></a> (OtogixMalik) <br />6.<a href="http://himitsu-kuri.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/i/himitsu-kuri.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhimitsu-kuri:" title="himitsu-kuri"/></a> (YuugixMokuba)<br /><br /><b>FULL FOR NOW</b> But go ahead and make a request if you have one and I'll give you a slot once I finish some of those. <3 Probably. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> <br /><br /><br /><div class="header2"><b>Gift Art</b></div><br /><b>You guys are all awesome.

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="header1"> </div> I'm having many inner conflicts right now. I think I'm going through a depression again... I know I ended a long term depression when school got out... and then I started on one right after Fanime... I'm assuming this is the same one... erm, it started fading for awhile and I was somewhat happy for the end of June... but ever since July started I've been one giant mental wreck. <br /><br />I've... really never felt so confused in my life... I have so many different emotions I'm going through and I have NOBODY to talk to. I mean, I know people on here give me support and shit... and that is nice and all... but there are certain people... I <i>need</i> and they aren't...  uh... around anymore...<br /><br />Swimming ending... fear of losing a purpose... losing something so important to me for years and years - even longer than high school... the stress of trying to be faster and running out of time.... <br /><br />.... this sinking feeling... this anger... these... desires... no way to get back at them.... hopelessness, helplessness... being in love...<br /><br />...can I? Be in love with two people? Is it selfish...? I suppose both of them are... dying loves... one person hurts me so much mentally... the other.... the memories... and the longings... not being able to get close... nowhere close... can't even... see them....<br /><br />and then... he... he likes another girl.... so I guess I went off and did the same thing... but I don't have anybody ... so he shouldn't... he shouldn't do that.<br /><br />And my sex crazy co workers... telling me he wants to move on cause he just wants to get laid.. and stupid men. I hate stupid men... or maybe I just want to? I don't even know... men and women alike seem to make me cry... maybe I should just be asexual...<br /><br />.... I'm not PMSing or anything... but I've been crying so hard... I want somebody to fall in love with me and hold me when I'm crying... or be a best friend maybe... or just... make me smile... for long periods of time...<br /><br />I'm selfish, because I want to be happy. I stress people out because of this... but... it's not fair.... so much wasted energy.... I wanted you when you didn't even know you were wanted...<br /><br />I hate unrequited love. And why must all good things come to an end? The only happiness I could find during the school year... she's so far away... and then the only happiness I could find during the summer.... it's going away too... and I'm... sad... and I have so many longings...<br /><br />...<br /><br />I'm done.<br /><br /><br /><div class="header2">Requests</div><br /><b>Slots:</b><br /><br />1.<a href="http://kk-the-fox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/k/kk-the-fox.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkk-the-fox:" title="kk-the-fox"/></a>(KK and Max)<br />2.<a href="http://syershasfeets.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/y/syershasfeets.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsyershasfeets:" title="syershasfeets"/></a> (Clock) (waiting for reference)<br />3.<a href="http://kaoi-ni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaoi-ni.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaoi-ni:" title="kaoi-ni"/></a> (Finished: <a href="http://akila-ishtar.deviantart.com/art/Request-Carmella-the-Panda-91334723">[link]</a>)<br />4.<a href="http://yao-ling.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/yao-ling.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyao-ling:" title="yao-ling"/></a> (tentacle rape) (collab.)<br />5.<a href="http://meeps.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/meeps.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmeeps:" title="meeps"/></a> (OtogixMalik) <br />6.<a href="http://himitsu-kuri.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/i/himitsu-kuri.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhimitsu-kuri:" title="himitsu-kuri"/></a> (YuugixMokuba)<br /><br /><b>FULL FOR NOW</b> But go ahead and make a request if you have one and I'll give you a slot once I finish some of those. <3 Probably. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> <br /><br /><br /><div class="header2"><b>Gift Art</b></div><br /><b>You guys are all awesome.

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="header1"> </div> <br />So... I'm feel purposeless right now... really lonely and heartbroken... and somewhat out of place.<br /><br />But swimming and work have helped me so much, they have given me some sort of motivation, a reason to live, because they give me goals. But swimming is over soon. I'll be aging of the team July 26. D: I don't even want to think about that. <br /><br />So, I think it's best not to linger and to try to find some other purpose. Because of this I'm going to take a few requests from people. And see what it's like. I have no idea if anybody will take this, but if they do maybe I'll offer commissions one day... <br /><br />I also will offer collabs because if anybody wants to do a collab with me, I'll do the line art and they can color... or something. Just tell me, if ya wanna do that.<br /><br />As far as requests go, I'll take anything really, people, anthro's, demons, mushrooms, etc, etc.<br /><br />Just tell me what you want in a comment or a note.  <br /><br />Thank you. <3 <br /><br />And thank you for all your support last time. It means a lot to me. I just wish... certain other people would reach out to me as well... funny, how the ones you love most sometimes seem the furthest from reach... u_u<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Akila<br /><br /><div class="header2"><b>Oh My Gawd.

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="header1"></div> <br />I feel... really lonely right now for some reason. <br /><br />I mean, I survived June... and then suddenly this void falls over me when July hits... and it just keeps growing and growing and even when I'm with people I feel lonely... and like nobody cares anymore and I'm just not good enough for people...<br /><br />I mean, even all my online friends... aside from some dA people, I feel like I've been abandoned, erm, not completely, but I mean, it just... things have been bothering me... about everybody? Not because I don't like them, because I... dunno, I'm not good enough for them? Because they don't care about me that much? I dunno...<br /><br />...and then... I keep having these... terrible longings...again... I don't want to go to bed at night because I'll just hold my pillow and feel terribly alone and I don't know who to think about anymore, or even who to talk to...<br /><br />...and I just wish it would go away... <br /><br />And... it's not something I can talk about, the way I can most things... (not like that ever helped anyway cause apparently I'm fucking mental... ) I can't... just talk about it... I just have to sit and think about it.... and even when I'm with somebody, I can't just bring it up.... <br /><br />I used to have so many people I could talk to, people whom I loved so much...  and I was confident they did too...<br /><br />Why isn't there a sign then? That they actually care?! It just pisses me off, I just want to get angry over being sad. And then I just get angry at the wrong people! But how can I tell anyone... anything anymore... anything like this.. when they all have their own problems... that are greater than mine... I need to stop being so fucking selfish.<br /><br />But I just wish somebody could reach out to me and love <i>me</i>. Not like, sexually, just.... be there for me... in spirit, at the very least... and maybe let me know every once in awhile... so I can think of them when I'm alone in the dark....<br /> <br /><br /><div class="header2"><br /><br /><i><br /></i><br /><br /><div class="header1">Stamps</div><br />    <div class="images"><br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/71693582/"><img src="http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs23/f/2007/342/1/0/Support_GAY_marriage_by_emmil.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/56528759/"><img src="http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs16/f/2007/151/d/5/CoffeeAddict_Stamp_by_poserfan.gif" width="99" height="55" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/62472837/"><img src="http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs20/f/2007/228/2/e/Stamp__Marik_3_by_ReiBogatu.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/81275978/"><img src="http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs30/f/2008/088/7/2/Mello_Chocoholic_Stamp_by_ItaLuv.jpg" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/30699404/"><img src="http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs10/i/2006/080/b/c/I_love_S_M_STAMP_by_nellis_eketorp.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/82421797/"><img src="http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs25/f/2008/101/4/7/SEME_stamp_by_lassurdoinpersona.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/80546566/"><img src="http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs26/f/2008/080/8/1/Pansexual_Stamp_by_Abfc.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/87507808/"><img src="http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs25/f/2008/154/d/5/I_Hate_What_I_Hate_Stamp_by_In_The_Machine.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/72142483/"><img src="http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs24/f/2007/348/b/4/Swim_stamp_by_SailorSolar.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/62179591/"><img src="http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs17/f/2007/225/7/f/Mello_Stamp_by_LilyFlare.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/50515739/"><img src="http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs13/f/2007/068/2/5/Stamp_by_Maiirwen.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/49112876/"><img src="http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs28/f/2008/139/d/9/... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="header1"></div> <br />My birthday is just around the corner and with it   I've been growing increasingly irritable.<br /><br />I've been stressing myself out about a lot of things, but oddly enough, I've been avoiding depression. I'm not really happy, not really sad, just... <i>alive.</i><br /><br />*shrug* <br /><br />Speaking of which, this entries lyrics are from Portal, which is like an AWESOME GAME. I haven't played it, but I was watching Bethany and Morgan play after swim lessons the other day. It's just damn brilliant. <br /><br />Life is weird. I've been working a lot more than usual, and when I'm not complaining I get random pangs of sadness or worry upon a bad memory, or perhaps the impending expiriation date of my Lifegaurd certification.<br /><br />I need to get it renewed by July 22, and I'm scared to death of failing. I guess my negative attitude is the root of my anxities. I'm always deathly afraid of failing and that is probably my biggest weakness. Probably why I've been freaking out at every swim meet when I don't get my best time... or at practice when I can't get myself to swim harder, or when I have trouble breathing. I think I'm psyching myself out or something.<br /><br />So, basically, I've been busy and that's been distracting me from all these worries. <br /><br />Anyway. Originally I was super excited about July coming but now the month is just revoulting. I have a dentist appointment on the first, I need a filling and a cleaning.... then I need to get my lifeguard shit renewed. It's the last month of swimming until I'm done for good, it's the last ever showing of Avatar. It's the end of many good things and it's the reminder of the end or... whatever you'd like to call it, of a good relationship I had with one of my close friends.<br /><br />It's just not kewl, dude. <br /><br />JUNE STAY WITH US!!! *sob*<br /><br />God. I don't know what I'm doing anymore these days. It's fun to hang out with my friends, but... at the same time everybody is annoyed with me because I am a 'negative Nancy". I'm honestly not trying to do this, it just... happens naturally. I want to change, but I'm just so worried about... stuff!!<br /><br />Damn it, I don't know. T.T;<br /><br />Go watch the ending credits of Portal: <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=RthZgszykLs">[link]</a><br /><br />Jonathan Coulton's version is like really kewl too: <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=sxNmeMklFk8&feature=related">[link]</a><br /><br />Though, I suppose you should go look up what the game is about or you might not get it... >>; <br /> <br /><br /><div class="header2">Still Alive Lyrics:  </div><br /><br /><i>This was a triumph.<br />I'm making a note here:<br />HUGE SUCCESS.<br />It's hard to overstate<br />my satisfaction.<br />Aperture Science<br />We do what we must<br />because we can.<br />For the good of all of us.<br />Except the ones who are dead.<br />But there's no sense crying<br />over every mistake.<br />You just keep on trying<br />till you run out of cake.<br />And the Science gets done.<br />And you make a neat gun.<br />For the people who are<br />still alive.<br /><br /><br />I'm not even angry.<br />I'm being so sincere right now.<br />Even though you broke my heart.<br />And killed me.<br />And tore me to pieces.<br />And threw every piece into a fire.<br />As they burned it hurt because<br />I was so happy for you!<br />Now these points of data<br />make a beautiful line.<br />And we're out of beta.<br />We're releasing on time.<br />So I'm GLaD.

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="header1"></div> <br />This weekend was actually pretty fun. I kept myself busy, which resulted in my feeling mentally better. However, it also resulted in me feeling physically exhausted, dehydrated and sunburnt! Yay white people! -_-<br /><br />Saturday was tiring but a lot of fun.<br /><br />Started out with a swim meet @ 7:15 am.. yay, again. We WON! D: Our team, like, never wins. We won by like 100 and even better I got three 1st place ribbons... O____o I never get 1st! Heh. I feel so happy. Especially because on of them was in an individual event, in breaststroke. :3<br /><br />After the meet, I had to run home, grab my work clothes and then head back to the pool to lifegaurd for 4 lovely hours.<br /><br />When that was over I ran home to pack and we left a couple hours later for Sacremento to go to Gail's graduation party. <br /><br />OMG. It was <i>AWESOME</i>. I'd say it was soo much better than any college parties at my school. That's because most of the people there were over 21 so they weren't acting all insane about drinking, they were totally chill and there was no peer pressure to drink. Since I felt like shit, running on like 4 or 5 hours sleep and I was dehydrated, I decided not to drink. But we did play Rock Band for like... 6 something hours with drunk people who were friggin' awesome. :3<br /><br />I LOVE THAT GAME.  <br /><br />I got a song dedicated to me... >>; Erm, apparently it reminded Bethany and Gail of me and my thought process. I actually love it, and I agree. But having it song TO me was a little... erm.. >>; <br /><br />It's called Creep, by radiohead. Check it out: <a href="http://www.imeem.com/people/L5iVjDU/music/l9fgDWCq/radio_head_creep/">[link]</a><br /><br />I found a song I want to dedicate to my friend... erm... maybe I'll put it here later...  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <br /><br />Anyway... we got back to Gail's townhouse at 2 am... I ate a cup of noodles and then everyone got ready for bed. <br /><br />Ended up staying up past 5 talking... then woke up at like... 9:30, yay. ~_~ Jill and Beth left around 10, but I stayed with Mary and Gail, went to Starbucks, Borders, Berkely, Food4Less and then home. I managed to find a sub for work since I got home at 5. HOWEVER, I was so PISSED when I found out Bethany was the sub. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crying.gif" width="20" height="17" alt=":crying:" title="Crying" /> She hadn't gotten any sleep either. I felt bad so I bought her some Ben N Jerry's ice cream and took one of her swim classes. >>;<br /><br />So, I was exhausted, went to bed early, slept in and missed practice. Taught swim lessons today and got sun burned... ~___~  Played Kingdom Hearts for awhile, beat Halloween Town and Neverland, then hung out with Gail and some other people at the pool for awhile, lent her Desire and Only the Ring Finger knows for her France trip and then we parted ways. XD; <br /><br />Now I'm back in my room, back to the routine. :/ I hadn't been hurting much this weekend. Haven't cried since Friday... but... I don't want to <i>cry</i> again... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dead.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":dead:" title="Dead (RIP)" /><br /><br />Oh yea.<br /><br />Gay people can get married. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Gail and Beth wanna get married. So do Alexa and Megan. (my coworkers) They all say I should marry Jill. Erm... hah! But I guess if I had to pick from all those annoying folks that I love it'd be her. I said, 'naw, I want an open relationship'... so we'll see about that. XD; Ahhh, I love my friends... <b>sometimes.</b><br /><br />Oh yea... that Creep song. Bethany said the last verse would be lying.. but... I didn't want to say it... I think the whole song can be true... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blushes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":blushes:" title="Blush" /> You just gotta figure me out, I guess. There are people I would give the world to.<br /> <br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="header2">Creep Lyrics:  </div><br /><br /><i>When you were here before,<br />Couldn't look you in the eye<br />You're just like an angel,<br />Your skin makes me cry<br /><br />You float like a feather<br />In a beautiful world<br />I wish I was special<br />You're so very special<br /><br />But I'm a creep,<br />I'm a weirdo<br />What the hell am I doin' here?<br />I don't belong here<br /><br />I don't care if it hurts,<br />I wanna have control<br />I want a perfect body<br />I want a perfect soul<br /><br />I want you to notice<br />when I'm not around<br />You're so very special<br />I wish I was special<br /><br />But I'm a creep<br />I'm a weirdo<br />What the hell am I doin... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="header1"></div> <br /><br />Gail said I shouldn't do that. Shouldn't cut somebody out of my life that I'm friends with cause it's double heartbreak... or something.<br /><br />I guess so.<br /><br />I have no idea.<br /><br />Today is annoying. Period cramps, and overall feeling like shit-ness. I think I'm going to skip out on swimming tonight, maybe draw some more or play Kingdom Hearts again. I'm back to where I was almost, on Halloween Town. Yay! XD;<br /><br />I have to teach a swim class tonight, so I still won't have gone a day where I haven't been at the pool. D: <br /><br />Maybe I'll go on Gaia and not just get my Daily Chance... and like, actually update some of my roleplays because they are ALL just.. not moving... at all. Because of me.<br /><br />Uhm, basically. Today was just cleaning and doing nothing at Bethany's house.<br /><br />Sorry I did such a boring update. I just didn't want to stare at that last one any longer. <br /><br />June 12th, huh? My birthday's in a month. Can't say I'm looking forward to it. <br /> <br /><br /><br /><div class="header2">P.S. Gaia is GHEY.  </div><br />Gaia is fucking retarded. First we have this new 'labels' thing, oh ho ho ho, score points for calling your friend a SKANK. That is so clever of you, Gaia! Fucking assholes.<br /><br />THEN, even better.<br /><br />We have an announcement about meeting true love on Gaia. <br /><br />Well, Gaia wants me to fuck it up right now, doesn't it?<br /><br />That's a bunch of bullshit. They fail to mention the unrequited love that can also come from internet relationships, and the heartbreak and depression that can spawn from that.

I guess there is no point... in causing myself more pain... I dunno... or her.. or her friends... who like think I'm the biggest asshole alive. So fine. Y'know... just... I just will go pretend I never existed.<br /><br />It's probably better. <br /><br />Cause, I guess, if you love somebody... you should let them be happy without you.<br /><br />Or something like that.<br /><br />I blew it. But... there is no point fighting it much more. Erm... I'll try not to fight it. I dunno.<br /><br />And, I guess I realized that I could have feelings for a girl too... so.. I learned something weird about myself.<br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />Not that it was very enjoyable.<br /><br />....<br /><br />I'm a very sad person right now. <br /><br />But I hope, good bye is only temporary. <br /><br />Maybe I'll find somebody... someday... who makes me this happy too... <3 <br /><br />After all.. that's what we all wish for... isn't it?<br /><br /><div class="header2">Quick Update:  </div><br />I'ts been a day. Almost a day. And I think I'm mentally breaking already. Which is amazing. Maybe I shouldn't have written that... <br /><br />I hung out with Bethany and Jill today in order to take my mind off things. And I still have swim practice to distract me. But I feel terrible for what I wrote... I don't want to have to lose her completely but I don't have many other options. ~_~ I have very sad. My boyfriend was being helpful, y'know, last night when I called him at 4 am... but... I can't really live like this.

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="header1"></div> <br />Love is a terrible and confusing feeling.<br /><br />Right now.... I just need more love from my rl friends... we can't be together much but when we are I just want to hold them tight and be happy with them. Nothing can replace these feelings... hugging my friends, tackling each other and smiling... even if underneath the smiles are broken spirits...<br /><br />I hate the internet. It is just lies and delusions. You can't hug your friends, or memorize their smile or hear what they sound like when they laugh. Or admire them, or be annoyed with their flaws and love 'um anyway. <br /><br />In fact... the only reason online relationships are possible... is because for some reason, love is something that can occur between the interwebz. And because  of this even though our relationships are practically just a fantasy of what could be... our feelings are still <b>real.</b><br /><br />Since love is very possible over the internet, so is heart break, rejection, neglect, and hatred.<br /><br />These are the bad things that may come with it.<br /><br />I love a few people very much right now. But I'm scared I might lose other people I love. I'm scared that... I'm... not good enough. <br /><br />I don't understand my feelings... it's so complicated.... I want to understand and change and not be so selfish...<br /><br />I don't want to feel pain and be sad. Why do I have a boyfriend and still feel so lonely? I want to experience love with somebody who actually cares for me and takes the time to talk to me and be honest and not fucking try to control me.<br /><br />Even my irl friends see it.. they see them I'm a bad friend... that I'm selfish.. my boyfriend hates me now... thinks I'm using him... calls my friends bad names.. call me bad names...<br /><br />I don't know what to do! Do I deserve to feel broken?! Why don't thinks go MY way?! I just want to cry all the time.<br /><br />I'm so lonely.<br /><br />((The title is in reference to what my friends see me as...

                <description><![CDATA[ Erm, apparently I'm subscribed now, and some shit.<br /><br />O: Went stamp happy, but other than that I haven't prettied anything up yet.<br /><br />I'm retarded at HTML... and even more retarded at CSS... but I've always wanted to learn. And I found me a tutor:<br />(My lovely roleplaying buddy of super special awesomeness: <a href="http://damaged-material.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/damaged-material.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondamaged-material:" title="damaged-material"/></a>, T-chan)  <br /><br />Hahaaha. Once I figure it out I'm going to <b>FINALLY</b> update about Fanime.<br /><br />(A year later... >>: ) <br /><br />Uhm, and if anybody has any advice/tips for me, I'll give you a cookie. :3 <br /><br /><b>EDIT:</b> LOL, Sorry if the 'regretful' thing doesn't make sense. That's some other shit that's been going on in my life. Trying to ignore my problems for once. NOT WORKING. ~__~: <br /><br /><b>EDIT AGAIN:</b> XD; Happy? I gave you credit. :B Dorkface. <br /><br /><b>EDIT ONCE AGAIN: </b> Cute asian guys keep talking to me on AIM and facebook... "do you wanna go out?" they say. I can't believe people think I'm cute... ahaha... and at a time like this. Damn, I really am lonely, but they aren't really making my life easier. I have a boyfriend, and these guys live far away! D:< Plus I don't actually know them. They could be terrible people. Yet, it's not that hard for me to be flattered and feel special. In High School I always hung out with Nicole and she is so cute, so guys looked over me. Not that I don't mind, I never wanted that. But... it is nice to feel worthy for once, I guess. I wish I could help those guys find someone special, they seem really lonely too. BUT HELLO, I am not dating anybody in Southern California. I'll just make my life even worse if I try to do that. Just because Darin and I fight doesn't mean I have to go thinking about other people. These guys are nice.. but... they don't know me. If they did they probably wouldn't like me anymore. I can't really date anybody I don't know anyway, even if I was single. I'm not really picky about appearances, I just want somebody I know I can rely on.<br /><br />Anyway. This one guy who talked to me was Japanese, and really cute. But he's bi and he's a republican. (how does that work?) XD; Erm, I think I must attract bisexuals or something... >>: ... anyway, I don't know if I'd want to go through <i>that</i> again. But yes, he's cute. Both of the guys who spoke to me are. And I might get to meet then at Fanime and AX. But hopefully I don't ever like them. ~.~ Or hopefully they think I'm ugly in real life. My pictures tell LIES. They hide the truth. Hahaha. >>:;;  I'm sure they both hit on lots of girls until one says yes. I wouldn't want to date somebody that way. I'd want somebody who just wants ME. <br /><br />Selfish, neh?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Oh geez. ~.~ How did I dig myself in this sort of hole again!? D: <br /><br />Like seriously, I'm already nervous as fuck about cosplaying and even more so because it's not going to be 100 percent accurate. YEA I KNOW THIS, but I don't want people bitching at me. ~.~ <br /><br />*cries* Browsing through the Fanime forums I freaked myself out!!! <br /><br />Okay the problems with my cosplay:<br /><br />-Don't have the hoodie on the tank top.<br /><br />I wouldn't even KNOW how to do that to start with and there is no way I'm going bullshit it and look more retarded. So I'm saying fuck the hoodie. <br /><br />-Only have on chain for the shirt<br /><br />OKAY THIS IS BOTHERING ME. D:< Just don't ask, I only have one. ~.~ Maybe I'll figure out this problem by the time I got shopping for the gold spray paint. <br /><br />AND just the fact that none of the accesories are really finished and I'm worried it's all gonna look shittastic and cheap and fahgioeahgioeahg. FUCK ME.<br /><br />At least the wig is nice... hahaah.... if a cosplayer has bad hair that is the first thing I notice. ~.~ <br /><br />GAWD KEEHL ME NOW.<br /><br />Erm, so I figured out what gatherings I can go to.<br /><br />Thinking of going to the Shonen Jump gathering Saturday @ 2 pm and the Crossplayers gathering @ 4:30.<br /><br />But I have noo idea. I just printed the schedule and gahhhh I dunno how I'm supposed to fit EATING into it. I mean... geez. ~.~ Gotta watch the masquerade, there are quite a few panels I wanna go to, and then definitly gotta go to the dance/s. Erm... so yea, rip my hair out NOW. <br /><br />I have work all the rest of today, tomorrow is the day we "finish" our cosplays (hopefully), gotta pack thursday I guess, gotta work thursday also and I have an appt. to get my eyebrows rewaxed... and gawwwd... kill me now. <br /><br />~.~<br /><br /><3 Akila.<br /><br />EDITED: Wow last night was 4 hours of prop making. Here's the looo down.<br /><br />Earing making is going AWESOME. Haha, I can't believe I managed to figure it out. AND THEY ARE SO LIGHT WEIGHT TOO. YES!!!!! Took a lot more geometry than I'd hoped though. Pfft... I spent ages just measuring the damn things. Took me three tries cause it kept ending up lopsided<br /><br />Jewelry making is a piece of cake. I'm not even going to trip anymore cause I've basically figured it out and I'm almost done. Just gotta spray paint shit.<br /><br />Rod going.. NOT SO WELL. GAHHH. The first one I had was better. IT STAYED TOGETHER. WHY DID I TAKE IT APART?! THe whole thing is just FALLING APART. D:< DAMN IT. It's like, essential... I dunno what to do cause I GUESS I could start ALL THE WAY OVER, but that might be another mistake. I dunno. I'm just gonna pray that the crazy glue hold it together and stick some in my packet on con day. SOOO not waving that thing around, the wings will like FLY off. <br /><br />GAWD. STUPID STUPID BOOM STICK. D:< GHAIEHGAIEHG. <br /><br />In other news: I got hooked up for a free photo shoot on Sunday. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Never done one before so now I'm about to piss my pants cause I'm nervous, but I guess as long as the fucking Rod doesn't fall apart I'm in the clear for everything else.  <br /><br />NEXT UPDATE: Got my eyebrows waxed. Came home, my mom is like 'uhm... bad news."<br /><br />So my little brother stepped on the Sennen Rod, I had just got it to stay and then it was like in pieces when I got home. Amazingly the pieces that were stable were the ones that broke. Revamped the whole thing and actually, it's BETTER now. It stays in place, granted it looks a little ghettoer now, it doesn't fall apart when I wave it around and hold it upside down and just flant it, so I'M HAPPY. XD<br /><br />YAY! ALMOST DONE. Hahaha victory, duuudes! XD One part left and I'm in the clear.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ XD;;;;<br /><br />GAH. I wanna work on my cosplay so bad, but jaa, I'm OUTTA GOLD SPRAYPAINT. <br /><br />~.~ Gonna buy like 20000000000000 cans Weds and work my arse off finishing shit Thursday and Friday.<br /><br />Did manage to be a camera whore with MY NEW WIG from Hong King. -woot- It's so sexah.<br /><br />So yea, I think I'll do another one of those dumb collages I did last time, except this wig is like a million times cooler. It's much more Malik like than that other stupid one that annoyed me and got in my face. Well, actually this one gets in my eyes too but it's more comfortable.<br /><br />So I need to:<br /><br />- Finish Sennen Rod<br />- Make Earrings (that should be interesting *snort*)<br />- Finish Shirt<br />- Finish Jewelry <br />- Figure out how to make myself look like an A cup... D: DEAR RA HELP ME. I DONT CARE IF I CAN'T BREATH. D:<<br /><br />Then I'm done. <br /><br />Yea, that's a lot to do. But that's cause all that stuff has gold on it and I'm ouuuut. ~.~<br /><br />Gold is also sooo not my color. <br /><br />Ah well.<br /><br />Been working, therefore working on my tan. But I really should be careful. I'd rather be a white Malik than a red one. >>;; Seriously. Getting sunburnt again is the LAST thing I want.<br /><br />So yea, been drawing a little but too lazy to scan/finish. <br /><br />I know, I suck.<br /><br />See ya.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm back at home from school. D:<br /><br />It's soo weird. Mostly been working and swimming.<br /><br />But I've been SO lazy and haven't drawn much at all. Even worse, I do have work to upload but I've been too lazy to do that too.<br /><br />PLUS, I lost my sketchbook with my stuff in it during the packing/unpacking mess of things. I'M SO MAD. Along with that, I lost my posters and my Ipod Headphones. T__T Hopefully I can get my ass up and finish unpacking and then I hope I can find the stuff. Or I'm gonna cry.<br /><br />So, yea, I'll upload some work as soon as I can. I dunno. I'm tired, is all. T__T<br /><br />Fanime is SO CLOSE. My cosplay is NOT done.<br /><br />I ordered a new wig. It gets here next weds - fri ish. WHICH SUCKS. I hope it doesn't come on Friday. I'll cry!! D: That's when we go to Fanime. Gah. That'd be back luck. <br /><br />More bad luck is the fact that I got a sunburn! But hopefully it'll be gone by then. <br /><br />So... I have to figure out how to flatten my chest (luckily I lost a little weight)... finish the accessorizes and then I guess I'm done. TOO BAD it's like a lot of accessorizes and I ran out of gold spray paint. Hurh. -_-; Gotta find me a ride to the store.<br /><br />Well, that's that... hope to be actively uploading art soon enough. D: Or at least I'll come back here with pictures from Fanime. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My DA got over 2000 page views... O_O<br /><br />Wow, that's nifty. *just noticed*<br /><br />Oh, and thanks for watching/being here, guys. <3 I wouldn't have got that many views without you guys. And, y'know, it's been so great getting to know people on here. You guys rock~!  <br /><br />I'm not going to quit Gaia, but thanks for commenting. While the site is annoying sometimes,  I can't quit just yet. Heh. Friends, and roleplaying makes me want to stay.  <3<br /><br />Oh... and random tangent:<br /><br />Drawing girls is so fun. That's part of why I like Life Drawing. Usually we get female models. And man, I love the female body. ^_^ But then when I say that people go, "OHEMGEE, R U A LEZ?" .___.;;;; <br /><br /> For fucks sake... >>; <br /><br />That's almost as bad as the, "You draw gay people? Are you a lesbian?"<br /><br />Yea, I got that too. *falls over* <br /><br />Heh. Well, I don't care what people say or think. Everybody is way too concerned with apperances if you ask me. They just go around judging others to make themselves look better. <br /><br />That's what I hate about my school. A lot of shallow people so far... I miss Japanime club, man. I want to start one here next year. Hah, test my leadership abilities? Or something. That might be interesting. Our University needs more clubs anyway.  Although, I did join GSA the other day with my buddy, Chris. Though.. I haven't really done much yet... it seems like it'll be fun. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /> <br /><br />I'm ranting. X3;; <br /><br />I should probably be sleeping.<br /><br />G'night.<br /><br /><br />EDIT:: XD;; I totally edited out the Avatar comment because I thought it wasn't relevant to anything. But yea, I basically complained about Avatar because IT'S NEVER ON. WHAT HAPPENED?<br /><br />I'm very confused... *falls over*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Gaia has really been pissing me off lately.<br /><br />Erm, well, a lot of THINGS about it, that is. <br /><br />And it's down right irritating.<br /><br />So, basically, I almost want to quit.<br /><br />Funny, how I used to be, "Omg how could anybody quit Gaia?!?!"<br /><br />I see why.<br /><br />I have seen the light. Ha.<br /><br />In fact, I would quit if:<br /><br />1. There weren't people I love on there<br />2. I didn't have roleplays on there<br />3. My avi wasn't super awesome<br /><br />Heh. x__x That's pretty much it.<br /><br />But mostly I'm disgusted by a lot of things right now. The system, the members, the cash shop etc, etc,<br /><br />I like this site more at the moment, fo' sho. It's a lot better. <br /><br />Anyway, yea, that's my little complaint for the day.<br /><br /><3 Akila<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I want to hold onto her while I cry. I want to know I have friends who care about me. I want to feel better around him. I don't need to make this kind of decision. I want the people I love to come back to me. And I want to be able to love the people that I have. But it's so hard...<br /><br />I'm so picky... or something...<br /><br />I know... there are people out there... who I would turn to, people I still love, people who have vanished.... why does it hurt so much? Always longing... longing for what? For nothing... <br /><br />Everybody is too busy, too preoccupied...<br /><br />Then don't bother with me... if you are going to leave me abandoned at the side of the road.<br /><br />I have to make a decision. Between being happy or being selfless.<br /><br />But nobody is hear.<br /><br />So I'll just continue to feel this nauseating pain....<br /><br />Until I figure something out. <br /><br />Or else fall asleep...<br /><br /> ]]></description>
