                <description><![CDATA[ <i>My prayer is to linger with you <br />
At the end of the day<br />
In a dream that's devine<br />
My prayer is a rapture in blue<br />
With a world far away<br />
And your lips close to mine<br />
<br />
Tonight while our hearts are aglow<br />
Oh tell me the words that I'm longing to know<br />
My prayer and the answer you give<br />
May they still be the same<br />
For as long as we live<br />
That you'll always be there<br />
At the end of my prayer</i><br />
<br />
<br />
this morning, october 24, at 10:42, about, my dog finally passed away.<br />
<br />
there's nothing i can really say that people don't already know, except i'm sorry if i'm all emo for the next couple of days, weeks, maybe months, because this dog was very close to me, and everyone in the family.<br />
<br />
a few days ago, he was diagnosed with lymphoma, and today, he passed away, in my arms. the tears will not stop flowing, but i'm happy that he had constant company for the last 24 hours of his life. i slept with him at night, and when i woke up, i never left his side, and always had a hand on him to pet him, so he wouldn't have to be alone in his final hours.<br />
<br />
when i was petting him, before the vet came to put him down (we did it in the house, we couldn't move him at all), it was like he wanted me to stop crying. he put his head on my lap, and put his muzzle under my hand, and licked me a little. i have to say, it physically hurts. my heart feels like it's been torn into many pieces, and even though i know it's final, i don't want to believe he's gone. i loved him, he was my best friend, and he was the one who supported me emotionally through grade school.<br />
<br />
keegan was my best friend, and i'm sorry to have him go. describing how i feel right now would be like trying to lift the sears tower. i'm posting this, so i don't have to describe this to everyone on my buddy list, retelling it once hurts enough.<br />
<br />
keegan, i love you, and, though i hope it's not permanent, goodbye, at least for this life.you will always have my heart, and one day, when i find you again, maybe in the next life, maybe as a spirit, i'll be able to give you as much love and attention as you deserve.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so, yeah. here's an update.<br />
my latest saturday muay thai match was a flop, i lost. i knocked the opponent out, but he scored more points. and a few knees. ow.<br />
<br />
we're getting a chihuahua, and i'm gonna try to help pay for it by winning title matches. unfortunately, since the last one, i'm probably not going to enter anymore matches for awhile. *gasp* i promised a friend.<br />
<br />
i think you all know how school's going. it sucks. hardcore. as school tends to. oh well.<br />
<br />
i'm getting alltogether burnt out. my entire body hurts from fighting, and i want to throw a canteloupe at special k's face. like a lion kills an antelope.<br />
<br />
<br />
had to eat dinner with my father today. T O R T U R E. but hey, what do you expect?<br />
<br />
<br />
anyhow, since most of you who watch me i talk to on some form of instant messenger, i'll probably rant and rave about all of this stuff LAAAAAATER. it's 1:30 AM now, and i have school tomorrow. so, before i go...<br />
<br />
<br />
i bought a new game, okami. gotta say, it's a lot of fun, a lot like windwaker. very stylized, and beautiful. no change in graphics between cutscenes, which is fine, because it's just a gorgeous game. battle is kind of redundant and boring, though, and it has long load times. despite these pitfalls, the soundtrack is wonderful, the graphics are beautiful, and the overall game is great. i really recommend it. game informer even gave it a 9.5 out of 10.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ in case anyone needs to know, moof means muffin.<br />
<br />
so, average day at school. 'special K' was being stupid dunce, my electronics teacher expected us to absorb the information straight from his all-knowing brain, because he knows all, and we know so little. oh, wait, was that sarcasm?<br />
german class was OK. i should do homework more often, because i'm only averaging a B in that class, even though 'i have potential'. phweh. english class, doing well. we're going to start beowulf, and i have to write a report on kenning. what IS kenning, by the way? eh.<br />
<br />
the fun started at biology. i got paired with two people, a guy and a girl. so, the teacher tells us of the experiment, and, guess what? mealworms. wow, i haven't done THAT in the 5th grade. so, honkey dorey. then i find out that my partners refuse to even look at mealworms. it's not a phobia, no, they're gross and wiggly. i put the petri dish with a mealworm on the table, and they both scream, causing the science teacher to run over with the first aid kit. what the fuck. thankfully, this time, i didn't get in trouble, they did, slightly. "grow up." so, i wound up doing the entire experiment all by myself - normally, i'd appreciate this. but they're gonna benifit from me doing all the work while they sit back and do fucking nothing. wonderful. i'm thinking of taking up the teacher's offer of moving into an AP class..<br />
<br />
adventure ed, my 10th period class, was the best. we're doing a cooking unit, so, today we made pizzas. i brought in some english muffins, which everyone stole. oh well, my group got to keep, like, 5. that's more than enough. kinda burnt them, but hey, it's food in school that wasn't made in the shitty caffeteria. so it tasted good anyhow. tomorrow we're making breakfast foods. i'm bringing the eggs - i hope they last until 10th period.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ so, i've got art block. i dunno why i'm telling everyone this, but i just do. lack of inspiration. can't even doodle right now. and no. requesting something from me in the guise of inspiration won't work. that's not inspiration. that's a request. and i'm still not taking any of those. i have commissions to finish. as stuck up as that sounds, every time i say 'i have art block', at least 5 people come up and say "oh, then i have a request for you that'll kick that art block out of commission! draw me or my character!" yeah, no. just got that today in adventure ed.<br />
<br />
so yeah. just fought a muay thai match, and i'm kinda battered from that. won it, and a gold medal, but i'm sore as fucking HELL. i'm probably gonna have to wear my shit kickers tomorrow to hide the bruises on my shins, and some jeans. if i have long sleeves, then i'll wear those, too, because i have bruises on my arms and elbows, especially my abs and sides. not that i'm complaining, it's a good feeling when you worked for a medal, as much as it hurts.<br />
<br />
so, i'm gonna try to submit some scraps soon. already did for one, so i might do more. i've got a new style to work on!<br />
<br />
so, yeah. that's my life so far. ima scram now, malcolm in the middle'sn on.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ so, i got a letter from my aunt the other day.<br />
<br />
basically, my grandfather wants to move back to china. and, while he's at it, he's gonna make my father buy me a ticket, and get me to move there as well. luckily, my aunt shot this idea down, and told him not to bring stuff like this up with my father yet, so, i'm safe, for now. unfortunately, i can't say the same for 2008, when we'll definately be going to china. will i have to live there? i don't know yet.<br />
<br />
craziness. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b> CAUTION, RANT AHEAD. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH MY BITCHING, THEN SKIP AHEAD</b><br />
<br />
<br />
you know, i've made so many changes to my life in the past year, but really, they mean nothing. i'm still the same bitter person deep down, so what's the point to all these changes if they don't help?<br />
i can list the major changes.<br />
i immersed myself in the art of muay boran, to work on my maturity and wisdom. i learned to discipline myself, which leads to the next.<br />
i set myself down with my cousin for a little bit every day, so i could learn quantum theory, calculus, and philosophy. the philosophy was fun, debates of that sort are always fun as long as they don't get violent.<br />
i tried to get together with my sister to learn how to stay cool in that way she does, only to find that she's now a completly different person, and that she completely disowned me as a sibling. completely casually. the reason she did this is because i'm a nerd. the martial arts will never change the fact that i'm a nerd, and for some reason, completely unlikeable because of it. hopefully, it's made me a tiny bit humbler than i was before (though, obviously not by much, as you can tell by this entry)<br />
<br />
for those of you who have stuck around, let me ask. have i changed at all from the slow, bitchy, psychotic person i was?<br />
<br />
<b>RANT OVER</b><br />
<br />
recently, i've been doing brain teasers and sudoku in my spare time, trying to set my record of 5 minutes and 12 seconds in sudoku. it's pretty hard, but i'll get it down to 4 minutes soon.<br />
<br />
other than that, i've found a new place to post my art and pictures. <a href="http://www.pic.noodleninja.com/kutsu">[link]</a> <br />
<br />
i'm actually going to post more there than here.less people to worry about there.<br />
<br />
<br />
the other day i had dinner with one of my good friends. i had a bowl of beef soup noodles, and she had some kind of thick rice noodles with chicken. they were both good, so we switched halfway through. close friends don't mind germs <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" /><br />
we also played some SSB:M. team battles. we killed.. zelda, yoshi, ness, bowser, DK, and a few more high level CPUs. then we fought a few level 1's to totally destroy them. fun day until the phone company completely blocked our connections with baltimore (not going into this, though)<br />
<br />
<br />
so, in SL, me and my friend serp are going to go into AV building together. albiet really silly AVs. for those who play, come check it out in a few months. it'll be a blast. <br />
<br />
anyhow, that's enough emo shit from me.<br />
~kutsuu out (or, passing out. it's 3:30 AM here.) ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so, today was my mom's birthday. wish her a happy birthday, guys. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM! yeah.<br />
i spent most of the time to myself today talking to myself. or the toaster. i find that talking to the toaster is a great way to start off on your way to becoming a full fledge wackaloon, like me. unfortunately, my friend came upon this scene, but decided not to ask, thank god. i think i was talking about mass genocide and bananas. the two go so nicely together, don't they?<br />
anyhow, what's funny is that this friend has a serious phobia of FLCL's haruko. he's afraid she's going to come out of nowhere and kill him. he had a nightmare about her. i could tell because he was screaming in his sleep. he could also be afraid of the bass guitar i have in the closet. we'll have to see. comedy ensues.<br />
surprisingly, my father wished my mom a happy birthday. nothing fancy. just sent her an email. "happy birthday". that's it. but it's something. makes me wonder. freaky. <br />
and i finally saw pirates of the carribean 1 today. about 2 weeks after seeing PotC 2. strange how those things work out. it was kinda funny. jack's awesome. will's a little bitch, i think squeak from baseketball might be related to him. elizabeth is just kinda there. kinda being annoying. i wish the movie would concentrate more on jack than will and elizabeth. but oh well.<br />
in other news, it's 4:30 AM, and i'm holding a good 30 convos at once here, and writing this. for my slow responses, i'm sorry, but i felt it was important to ramble on about random shit in my DA journal.<br />
<br />
... since i should be getting to bed now... i will! g'night!<br />
<br />
~kutsuu<br />
<br />
OH<br />
<br />
PS<br />
if anyone can find a good, free online martial arts manual to the three sectional staff, AKA sansetsokun AKA san jie gun, i'd be greatful. please-and-thankyou in advance! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i have finally returned from my trip to baltimore. what a relief. man, i hate family. i love my sister. i love my step sister. i hate my chinese family. btw, i'm changing their names just to be polite. when i rant about this in private conversations, i'll use their real names. <br />
kaga, for the life of him, couldn't take the bamboo shoot out of his ass and relax. FUCK. being around that family just makes me high strung. i now understand why my father is such a highstrung jackass. and apparently, i have a cousin that i've never met, or known about. his name is TL. <br />
now, i'm not gonna rant about this anymore. i'm just back, and glad to be back. FUCK, yeah, that's good.<br />
<br />
... and, <a href="http://ankhacrow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/ankhacrow.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="ankhacrow" /></a>, remind me at least once a month to work on my cantonese. it's awkward going to these family gatherings and having them speak fucking cantonese and not be able to respond. it's extremely uncomfortable, so, i'm gonna learn. woo. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well. this is turning to be a lonely vacation.<br />
so, i'm at my sister's house. it's night now, but i'd really have time to write this tomorrow. i'm yoinking internet from some public source, but it's really unstable, so i don't think it matters. it's day 3 of my vacation....<br />
and i'm lonely. <br />
it's an increadibly empty feeling, i almost want to cry. i'm used to being lonely, but for some reason, being lonely in a strange environment makes things ten times worse. <br />
<br />
what makes things worse for me is that my sister has work all day, and i can't do anything until she gets home. so i'm stuck in an apartment with a crapped out connection with next to nothing to do. bleh. well, it's held out for ten minutes, so that's a good sign.<br />
<br />
oh well. i'll be back by thursday. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ... it's a difficult task, to say the least. unfortunately, i speak 0 chinese (my father never taught me. grrrr.) however, everyone in this household does. strangely enough, after i got used to it, i could start to vaguely understand them. <br />
"<cantonese>"<br />
"yeah, i agree, this music does suck"<br />
just like i'll often do when i'm speaking german, they also switch between cantonese and english. it's interesting, to say the least.<br />
anyhow, it's just about time i started getting 'up', so i'll make this short. <br />
for once, i actually got along with my cousin. my family's pretty cool, too. anyhow, later, all. part 2 will come the next time i get internet. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so. i just got back from my big first day back in.. the baltimore/washington area. i'm on my laptop, which is connected through my cousin's router. i'm still kind of paranoid, in case he can read this. i wouldn't put it past him. besides that, i'll start from square one.<br />
first, my flight was delayed an hour. oh well, works for me, because between getting from the door to the gate, we're gonna need that hour. did i mention that it's now a new policy in the airlines to take your shoes and/or sandals off as you go through the various scans and checks of your belongings? it's kind of time consuming. and by kind of i mean really long and tedious.<br />
so, from there things went well. got to my gate, into the plane. unfortunately, when i got to my seat, it was taken. so i had to sit between two morbidly obese women, who couldn't keep their rolls in their own seats. it was a very invading feeling.<br />
so, i got there, got to baggage claim, got into the car with uncle tong and aunt sea. blah blah blah. got to their house. blah blah. things went well. i turned out to be a lot taller than i thought. haha. and who says chinese can't be tall...<br />
anyhow, got to hang out with tytus and his friends. what? he has friends? i was surprised, too. and they call -me- a nerd. this was insane. it was like an entire gathering of napoleon dynomites. URG. very trying.<br />
<br />
so, now i'm back at his house, i have the entire basement to myself, and no one is online. well, no one that would like to talk. i'm lonely D:<br />
<br />
<br />
for something more positive,i'm going to start learning java soon. then i might go with C++. yes, programming languages. all building up to litestep- the little OS thing my cousin's using, which looks awesome as fuck.<br />
<br />
i suppose i'll be on for awhile. feels kinna weird, though. oh well. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ okay, so i'm gonna be out of town for awhile to visit family. so, obviously, i probably won't be online for awhile. just a week.<br />
not sure exactly when i leave, but it'll be around next friday. <br />
there's a decent chance that i'll be online for awhile. i got myself a dialup disc, and, if i can get to a starbucks while my sister's at work, i can get online there through my wireless card.<br />
<br />
just a warning. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WOWZERS. it's hot out today. around 105. wowzers. fuck. not cool. not cool at ALL.<br />
so, the last few journals have been about martial arts. this isn't going to be any different.<br />
training today in a dojo with no AC for 3 hours is hard. extremely difficult. it's kind of satisfying, though, to know you can tough out 3 solid hours of 105 degree training. even though rolling around the dojo for half of the class with sweaty men? kinda gross. (grappling)<br />
anyhow. moving on to other stuff.<br />
<br />
divorce. over.<br />
<a href="http://www.iscribble.net">[link]</a> = best place ever. i know it's kinda... lame, compared to OC, but for the 90% of us who can't host, it's awesome. go there and see.<br />
<a href="http://ankhacrow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/ankhacrow.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="ankhacrow" /></a> = awesome. you just are, don't question me and my AUTHORITAH. ;3<br />
red hot chili peppers song 'wet sand' is my new favorite song. it's totally awesome, give it a listen<br />
and, before i forget...<br />
<b>JUST FOUR MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL!</b> wunderbar! excellent! almost orgasmic!<br />
<br />
<br />
by the way, my best IRL friend, willow, is coming back from vacation soon. very awesome. we'll have to cook before summer is over.<br />
<br />
<br />
so, before august 20th, i'm going to go to visit my sister and chinese grandparents/relations. probably be gone for a little less than a week, but hey. it's awesome. i get to flaunt my physical superiority over my asshole cousin :3 i can hardly wait.<br />
<br />
~kutsuu out.<br />

Master C. showed me his monkey kick today. painful. painful. FUCK. painful. ow. if anyone wants to know about it, just ask. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well, yesterday was the martial arts retreat for me. lots of fun. for kali, we learned more moves (mostly disarms), and were tossed into the woods for a massive terrain match. which i won. if you want more info, IM me or something. before that we did a mile run, stretching, kickboxing. after the kali, we did muay thai+tai chi. it's not a combination you'd expect, but god, it kicks ass. i love muay thai and it's excessive use of knees and elbows. <3<br />
so, all this on 3-4 hours of sleep and 1 tiny meal. you can imagine, even after a good night's sleep, i'm still fuckin BEAT. and minorly sunburned. very minor - my skin's just real dry. it's kind of annoying. *Searches for lotion*<br />
but it was a good day. despite me having to deal with a bratty little kid or two (they all kinda blend into eachother). i got to use my zanzibar <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> great fun! and i got to show off my skill - with moves foreign to that dojo (thank you master ramuel)<br />
... i forgot what else i was going to say, so if you want more information, IM me or something.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ aw man, this kinda sucks. tomorrow, or today, depending on when you read this (saturday, june 24) i have to be at the dojo by.. around 6. da~amn! gonna have to go to sleep early tonight D: ah well.<br />
this wouldn't be a problem. EXCEPT! my escrima sticks broke - AGAIN. shattered, beyond repair. i tried taping them, but it's more of an unrecognizeable ball of electrical tape than a stick. so i can't buy new equipment, because none of the martial arts supply stores are open that early xD; plus, good sticks cost over 60 dollars, so i'm shit out of luck here. <br />
.... and my boxing gloves are lost. damn. someone up there doesn't want me to go to this martial arts retreat. going anyways, i'll just borrow master riccardo's equipment. haha.<br />
anyhow. commissions under way! and a new ID. HMMM. what to do, what to do. keep yer pants on, for all you people who have requests. i'll get to them, eventually, hopefully by the end of the summer. wow, i'm a lazy little bastard, aren't i?<br />
other than that, NOTHING. again, i won't be here on saturday until like, 7:00 because of the martial arts retreat, so yeah. i'll see most of you on MSN or whatnot. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well, the kutsu fan club strikes again.<br />
<br />
for those of you who don't know, there's a few kids at my school who think my art is the coolest thing since sliced bread. these kids must live under a rock or somethin if they think sliced bread is very special, but it's true.<br />
but these people also have the IQs of freaking fleas. or george bush. i think the latter is lower. lets go with bush.<br />
<br />
ANYHOW. what these people have taken to doing is something that's annoying beyond anything i can imagine. besides my cuntrag of an english teacher. but that's different. <br />
these people steal my sketchbook. it's not on a daily basis, because if it was there would be wanted posters for me all over illinoise, but it's enough to piss me off, badly. why? because when they return it, it's filled with LETTERS OF OMGADMIRATION! directly on top of the sketches, too. which completely ruins them. i lost like 5 commissions because of it. i lost MONEY. god DAMN.<br />
and, today, they NOT ONLY stole my sketchbook, but also my other notebooks, where i keep my own notes. y'know, calc, physics, stuff like that. and they've taken to scribbling all over my formulas'n stuff. god DAMN i hate people.  the worst thing about it is that the teachers give less than a shit about what happens, their logic is that i shouldn't have had it out in the first place. that might be fine and dandy for the sketchbook, but my physics notebook is inside my napsack. WHY do they do this? have i wronged them in any way? .... well, it's highly possible, but still. i'd remember.<br />
<br />
god, the month before finals is hell. total hell. but finals are here, so summer will be here soon, and all will be well. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ my english teacher's a fucking cuntrag. here's the story.<br />
teacher: "ok, i'm assigning you a ten page essay. ten pages is the minimum, but if you REALLY want a good grade, then you'll give me fifty or more. ten pages will only get you an average grade."<br />
"uhh. right. okay then." <br />
so, that would be okay. i'm fine with a 50 page essay. it's just that she assigned it two days before the due date. major wtf for me. so, 2 days and an all-nighter later:<br />
"by the way, i'm only going to read three pages of your essays."<br />
"......"<br />
<br />
so, i spent an entire night up so she could read three pages of my 50 page essay? i. really. <i>really.<b>really.<u>REALLY</u></b></i> HATE this class. which i'm failing. fuck this shit, man.<br />
<br />
well, and, today i didn't eat. so i'm pissed off at the world, and the school (which is my world). reason i didn't eat was because, the caffeteria line at school was filled with all the students in the school, and i didn't get a chance to get in line. FUUUUUUUUCK. what a bad last day. maybe it'll get better after i take a nap.<br /><br />~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ so, i've slacked off the entire year. but this summer, i'm gonna be totally busy. with?<br />
well, first of all i found out that i'm only 2 IQ points short of genius. so i'm just trying to maximize my potential. so, how am i going to do this, you ask?<br />
<br />
1.) i'm teaching myself calc. gonna ask for help from my cousin, who's in cornell right now in the engineering program. after i finish reading 'Calculus 5th edition' by Bittinger, he's gonna help teach me quantum physics. not theory, i can learn that with the resources i already have.<br />
2.) i'm working on psychology, right now i'm studying the evolution of the human mind through darwinism.<br />
3.) i'm working on a philosophical definition of the 'truth'. so far all i have is 'truth is an opinion', but after i finish with my english teacher's 50 page essay on the book i never read, i'll finish my other paper.<br />
4.) i'm studying german more closely, to become fluent, and so i can eventually have access to more books. since that's most likely going to take a few years.<br />
5.) art. lots of art. my books are FILLED with art. i've really improved. i should post here more often.<br />
<br />
i'm going to try to get into better courses next year. wish me luck, it's going to be a busy summer, even without the homework from the school.<br /><br />~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ heh, took a bunch of personality tests today. first one: <br />
Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.<br />
<br />
Orderliness results were very low which suggests you are overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense too often of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.<br />
<br />
Extraversion results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.<br />
<br />
trait snapshot:<br />
messy, tough, disorganized, fearless, not rule conscious, likes the unknown, rarely worries, rash, attracted to the counter culture, rarely irritated, positive, resilient, abstract, not a perfectionist, risk taker, strange, weird, self reliant, leisurely, dangerous, anti-authority, trusting, optimistic, positive, thrill seeker, likes bizarre things, sarcastic<br />
<br />
relatively correct, i suppose. <br />
<br />
<b> second test:</b><br />
personality disorders:<br />
Eccentric Personality Disorder:<br />
Individuals with these disorders often appear odd or peculiar.<br />
<br />
Paranoid Personality Disorder - individual generally tends to interpret the actions of others as threatening.<br />
<br />
Schizoid Personality Disorder - individual generally detached from social relationships, and shows a narrow range of emotional expression in various social settings.<br />
<br />
Schizotypal Personality Disorder - individual is uncomfortable in close relationships, has thought or perceptual distortions, and peculiarities of behavior.<br />
<br />
<br />
Borderline Personality Disorder - individual shows a generalized pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, and observable emotions, and significant impulsiveness.<br />
<br />
<br />
these tests are fun to take XD how do you think it turned out - is it accurate? XD danke!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ ok, making up my own lame tag thing here. you have 10 things, split into two categories. five random quotes, and five random lyrics to songs. people try to guess them, and if they get one wrong, they're tagged. they don't have to guess everything, but the things they do guess, if they get those things wrong, then, well, <b>TAG</b><br />
<br />
so, here's mine.<br />
<br />
<b>Quotes</b><br />
1.) we all wanna be problemless. To fix ourselves. We look for some magic solution to make us all better, but none of us really know what we're doing. And why is that so bad? That's all we humans can do. Guess. Try. Hope. But, Justin, just pray you don't fool yourself into thinking you've got the answer. Because that's bullshit. The trick is living without an answer. I think. <br />
<br />
2.)Okay, think of what little patience I have as, oh, I don't know, your virginity. You always thought it would be there, until that night Junior Year when you were feeling a little down about yourself and your pal Kevin, who just wanted to be friends, well, he dropped by and he brought a copy of About Last Night and a four-pack of Bartels & James and woo hoo hoo, it was gone forever - just like my patience is now.<br />
<br />
3.) Richie said their were serial killers in the neighborhood killing people named howie! MY NAME IS HOWIE! <br />
<br />
4.) A rare beauty in the North. She's the finest lady on earth. A glance from her, the whole city goes down. A second glance leaves the nation in ruins. There exists no city or nation that has been more cherished than a beauty like this. A rare beauty in the North. She's the finest lady on earth. A glance from her, the whole city goes down. A second glance leaves the nation in ruins. There exists no city or nation that has been more cherished than a beauty like this. <br />
<br />
5.) Love is for the horny.<br />
<br />
lyrics:<br />
<br />
1.) Step one you say we need to talk<br />
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk<br />
He smiles politely back at you<br />
You stare politely right on through<br />
Some sort of window to your right<br />
As he goes left and you stay right<br />
Between the lines of fear and blame<br />
And you begin to wonder why you came <br />
<br />
2.) By moonlight we ride<br />
Ten thousands side by side<br />
With swords drawn held high<br />
Our whips and armours shine<br />
Hail to thee our infantry<br />
Still brave beyond the grave<br />
All have sworn the eternal vow<br />
The time to strike is now<br />
<br />
3.) You've got to press it on you<br />
You'll just be thinkin'<br />
That's what you do, baby<br />
Hold it down Dare<br />
Jump with the moon and move it<br />
Jump back and forth<br />
and feel like you were there yourself<br />
Work it out <br />
<br />
4.) du bist die sonne, die auf mich scheint.<br />
du bist die träne, die für mich weint.<br />
du bist der tropfen, der mich tränkt.<br />
du bist das feuer, das mich lenkt.<br />
<br />
5.) The sun hurt my eyes<br />
An awkward silence<br />
The scene is oddly vacent<br />
I watched you walk away<br />
<br />
additional rules: NO GOOGLE, and for songs, you have to list the song title and artist.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ so, i was tagged again.<br />
and, again, i say that i suck at tag, so i'm an easy target. fuck. why do people love to watch me write on the floor in agony? agony? AGONY?!<br />
well, because i'm an easy target. so. 6 things about me.<br />
<br />
1.) my martial arts style currently consists of 12 seperate forms of martial arts, ranging from wing chun to pakuazhang to cappoeira to kali to jeet kun do. i think it's important to have all my bases covered.<br />
2.) i love to cook, in fact, i'm considering a major in the culenary arts.<br />
3.) IRL, my mood can go from quiet to boistrous in about 2 seconds.<br />
4.) i'll listen to any kind of music. my favorite bands to date are lemongrass, buddha bar, in extremo, nujabes, polyphonic spree, the postal service, rhapsody, and the butthole surfers.<br />
5.) i hate rachael ray and call her the raytard. i hate her with a passion mankind can only dream of.<br />
6.) i'm not tagging anyone, and if you want to know anything more deep, dark secrets about me, then, well, you're gonna have to wait until you get to know me better.<br /><br />~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ well, it's been flu season at my school, and, even though it's almost over, seemingly to have passed by (me) harmlessly, i haven't managed to dodge the bullet. so far, it's the worst flu i've ever had. fuck.<br />
over half the classes have been empty. my algebra class had a grand total of... 5 students. algebra. uuungh.<br />
my friend, andrew, was so sick, he had to stay home because he couldn't see. my lungs feel like the aftereffects of smoking for 80 years. or the first time. whichever hurts more. they BURN. though after some tea, they begin to feel a little better.<br />
<br />
this, of course, puts all requests on hiatus.<br />
<br />
haha, just joking, all, i know you weren't expecting me to do jack shit this weekend <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
though, i've been working on a self portrait for digital imaging class, and let me tell you, it is STUNNING. stunningly rawsome, that is. it's so awsome, i had to mix in the word raw to describe it.<br />
<br />
big hugs (or, big not-hugs, don't wanna go spreading viruses) for anyone who can translate 'werd ich am galgen hochgazogen' by in extremo for me. i love the song. i can almost understand the song. but, due to meine kleine vokabular and whatnot, i can't translate it. and their accents are WEIRD. i can translate most of the other songs of theirs that i have. just not that. i know that it means something along the lines of 'i will hang myself in the gallows' or something. great power metal song. really great.<br />
<br />
and, i shall part with the following quote:<br />
"THE GIFT OF METAL DOES NOT SMILE UPON THE GOOD LOOKING!" <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ alright. i like, forgot all the requests i was supposed to do. i know, bad me, slap on the wrist, evil person i am, yadda yadda.<br />
<br />
<b>IF YOU DON'T TELL ME YOUR REQUEST HERE, OR NOTE ME FOR IT, I WON'T DO IT.</b><br />
<br />
<u>this is for people who have made requests in the past, and i've forgotten about. coulda been a month ago, coulda been two months ago.  coulda been a year ago. if i haven't done it, then tell me now, or i won't feel guilty when i don't do it.</u><br />
<br />
P.S. <br />
don't IM me for it. i won't remember. seriously.<br />
<br />
PPS<br />
this applies to EVERYONE who has a devart account and has asked me for a request.<br />
... which is everyone. so, no excuses. don't bug me for it over AIM. i'll get irritable. much better to bug me for it over a note.<br />
<br />
BTW:<br />
this isn't here to light a fire under my ass. requests are done at my leisure, my own slow pace, any attempts at lighting a fire under my ass will be dealt with as follows:<br />
"ARG! MY ASS IS ON FIRE! IT BURNS! WHERE'S THE FUCKING FIRE EXTINGUISHER! NYEAAAARG!"<br />
and will be put out as soon as possible. and, due to a sore, burnt ass, i probably won't move as quickly as before. so don't bug me about it. i'll get them done. eventually.<br /><br />~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ tagged from <a href="http://artemisio.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/r/artemisio.png" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="artemisio" /></a>, 'cause i have absolutely no life whatsoever.<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 1: Open up whatever MP3 program you use and add every song in your collection.<br />
Step 2: Put it on random.<br />
Step 3: Pick your favorite lines from the first 10 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.<br />
Step 4: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.<br />
Step 5: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.<br />
Step 6: DON'T GOOGLE THEM!<br />
<br />
1.)<br />
God's in the spot you can like it or not<br />
So rip the knob off the volume when you give this a shot<br />
And raise your hands as the slam starts to thicken the plot<br />
Openin' eyes to the lies of the enemies' lot<br />
So run like the wind from the sin of your past<br />
Keep your eyes on the prize when they put you on blast<br />
It's the Christ on the cross, it's humanity's shot<br />
It's a worldwide call to everything that we're not <br />
<br />
2.)<br />
Crush a coal to a diamond Eyes forever shining<br />
Your beauty alone inspire a niggah to rhyming<br />
Thinking of the betta things in life<br />
Thinking of how I could persuade you to become my wife<br />
Hand in hand as we floating over tropical sands<br />
You my lady I'm ya man<br />
So let's futher advance to the next scene<br />
Me sleeping next to you resting<br />
You are the personification of all God's blessings<br />
Coming to me in just one physical being<br />
One physical dream that I wanna redeem <br />
<br />
3.)<br />
I'll be the grapes fermented,<br />
Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit<br />
Like a perfect gentlemen<br />
I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick<br />
Where you will sit and contemplate your day<br />
<br />
4.)<br />
Sittin' in an armchair,<br />
With my head between my hands;<br />
I wouldn't have to feel like this<br />
If you'd only understand<br />
Too many misunderstandings<br />
Causing such delay<br />
And if it doesn't work like this<br />
Well I'll try another way<br />
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it<br />
Oh, I didn't understand<br />
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it<br />
Oh, I didn't understand <br />
<br />
5.)<br />
'ole st. nick's got burbon breath<br />
it's so cold you can catch your death<br />
a cop sold me some crystal meth<br />
it's a merry fuckin christmas!<br />
<br />
6.)<br />
I'm not ready for this,<br />
Though I thought I would be.<br />
I can't see the future,<br />
Though I thought I could see.<br />
I don't want to leave you,<br />
Even though I have to.<br />
I don't want to love you.<br />
Oh, I still do.<br />
<br />
7.)<br />
My friends are so depressed<br />
I feel the question<br />
Of your loneliness<br />
Confide..., 'cause I'll be on your side<br />
You know I will, you know I will<br />
<br />
8.)<br />
Turn up the radio<br />
Blast your stereo<br />
Right<br />
Niggas wanna hate on us (who)<br />
Niggas be envious (who)<br />
And I know why they hatin' on us (why)<br />
Cause that's so fabulous (what)<br />
I'ma be real on us (c'mon)<br />
Nobody got nuttin' on us (no)<br />
Girls be all on us, from London back down to the US (s, s)<br />
<br />
9.)<br />
Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn (crash and burn)<br />
Patience is the hallmark of the old and the infirm<br />
Lived and learned, lived and learned, lived and learned<br />
Out lived theer lust and traded want in for concern<br />
Singing that's all right<br />
Yeah that's all right<br />
Aw that's all right<br />
<br />
10.)<br />
Close your eyes<br />
Close your eyes<br />
Breathe the air out there<br />
We are free, we can be wide open<br />
For you open my eyes<br />
To the beauty I see<br />
We will pray, we will stay<br />
Wide open <br />
<br />
there you have it! do your best! XD<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ i'd have to say would be me. aside from combat sports, i suck. i don't know the rules (can't say i really care), i don't care enough to kick right, and yet, it's so fuckin competitive that there are people screaming at the top of their lungs for this bullshit.<br />
<br />
anyways, had a good time at martial arts tonight.<br />
girl: *comes in confidently, moves in to tap adrian's leg*<br />
adrian: *slaps girl's leg*<br />
girl: O_O "ack!"<br />
girl's mom: *snicker*<br />
adrian: "what color does a dog bark?"<br />
girl: "wtf...?"<br />
adrian: *THWAP*<br />
girl: "ow! fine! what color does a bird chirp!"<br />
adrian: "light green!" *thwap*<br />
girl: "goddamnit!"<br />
adrian: *bobs and weaves, pokes girl's nose then thwaps her leg* boop!<br />
girl: "... O_O;;;;"<br />
<br />
pretty much happened like that for most of the tag matches. let me explain. left lead -- no moving your leg back. goal is to tap the other person's knee, using any tactic you can think up. my tactic pretty much is, do something strange, slap. block, counterslap. slap their arm then their leg. and it works <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> mwahaha.<br />
<br />
anyhow, finals are coming  up. biggest bitch is that we get a FUCK ton of homework over the holidays. swear i'm not gonna have time to open presents due to the massive amounts of homework they've given us. 3 20 page math packets, don't know the german yet, for english we have to read the odessy, and for science.. well, i dunno the science. fuck mr. mccarron if he thinks he's gonna get any shit outta me with all that other shit i'm doin. givin me a detention for wearin a coat.. <br />
<br />
anyhoo, been playin wei qi (also known as go) with my friends a lot. not inspired by the comic, eef yoo if you think it is, 'cause i've been playin for over a year. i won the latest two games. first one 81 to 20. second one 57 to 10. whooppee <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> hope we can make that wei qi club at school, that'd be so awesome. totally.<br /><br />~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-<br />

<br />
the crime?<br />
<br />
... wearing my jacket into class, because i didn't have time to visit my locker. e.e wtf.<br />
<br />
i dunno, but it kinda pisses me off. goddamn. "NO JACKETS" is not in the school handbook (and it has like 50 pages of all the school rules, that i read very thorougly), so why the hell do i get a detention for something so minor? god.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ i've decided to finally post a journal entry about this, because, well, i'm a moron and can't get rid of this fucking virus no matter how hard i try.<br />
<br />
weird virus that sends a link to all my AIM buddies via AIM, and tells them it's a cool picture or something. got it from my bud christian<br />
"hey, this is a cool picture, click!"<br />
"oh, cool picture! awesome. *click* .... aw, fuck..."<br />
thought i got rid of it, but, obviously i didn't. so when i send you strange links, ask about it like, twice, because it sends you a seperate message then the link or something. hate to say i can't be trusted, but it's true, at the moment, i can't. so, yeah. sorry everyone.<br />
<br />
friend told me to switch to safe mode and then use the trend micro onlinle scanner thing, so that's what i think i'll do. <br />
<br />
sorry again, everyone, hope this works<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ schtolen from kwoiffei, because i am schneaky like that.<br />
<br />
1. I like math. as long as it's not homework, i can enjoy doing it. it's a lot of fun when you get the hang of it.<br />
<br />
2. i think better on my feet than when i have to sit down and really -think-. when that happens i usually make some poor decisions.<br />
<br />
3. i like to change around a lot. i've gone through several fursonas and i go through RP charries faster than a box of kleenex. <br />
<br />
4. i come from a long line of people who believe in ghosts, but in a different sense than some magical soul that comes out and lives forever.<br />
<br />
5. i only dream when i have something on my mind that needs to be solved, like when i have a physical stunt i couldn't figure out before or an algebra problem i was having trouble with. <br />
<br />
6. while doing a family tree, i discovered that no one knows anything past my great grandparents, on both sides.<br />
<br />
7. I don't know my own personality.<br />
<br />
8. I don't play as much videogames as i should be. i'm on the computer and doing other things way more often.<br />
<br />
9. my memory is somewhat photographic. i remember my very first AIM conversation, my very first drawing, and my 2nd grade teacher and class.<br />
<br />
10. i enjoy fresh prince of bel-air. i think it's hilarious.<br />
<br />
11. I'm actually not that violent IRL. i just.. sit there most of the time, if someone pisses me off (they usually do it on purpose) i either give them an evil glare or tell them to piss off before i hurt them.<br />
<br />
12. I have a cat named edward wong hau pepelu tiverusky IV, after the cowboy bebop character.<br />
<br />
13. while my father travels around the world, i haven't been outside of america. baaaad.<br />
<br />
14. I play the piano, guitarre and base guitare. piano for most of my life, and i'm pretty advanced. <br />
<br />
15. I started my RPing career on Paws of Pyrel as an artist. a really crappy one that never got anything done, but an artist nonetheless.<br />
<br />
16. I'm really lazy. sometimes really hyper. mostly lazy.<br />
<br />
17. i dislike the sound of my own voice<br />
<br />
18. i am chinese polish german spanish and.. i don't know what else. a genuine MUTT.<br />
<br />
19. I'm dyslexic, and have ADD (both pretty mild), yet my reading scores have been in the 99th percentile in the nation. no lie.<br />
<br />
20. IRL, i like being left alone more than being with people. people are annoying sometimes, and i just don't fit in.<br />
<br />
there we go. 20 random facts about me. enjoy xD;<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ okay. so i just made an AWESOME new canvas for my next painting. it's shaped like a grandfather clock. problem is, i don't know how i'm gonna stretch the canvas on it ^_^;; canvas FRAME is made, but now i'm stuck ^_^; shit. gonna have to figure that out tomorrow. this is gonna be veery difficult. very very. yes. crapcrapCRAP! didn't THINK of this! ;-; i'll get around to it.. sometime. in the meantime, LOOK! A FLYING BISON! *flees*<br />
<br />
i saw a canvas the other day that was kinda like a puzzle piece, it had like 2 other pieces attached. it was REALLY awesome. i guess that's kinda what inspired me, but i've got some kinky-ass angles on here that are making me very unhappy. shoulda stuck with a regular frame and a regular black background instead of just taking the background away. ^_^; <br />
<br />
so, yeah. still lotsa stuff goin on. made some friends at school during math class. always a plus.<br />
<br />
mm.. that's all for t'day, folks! see ya later!<br />
<br />
<b> question of the entry</b><br />
now, really think about this one. i'm serious. every time i ask this question people just flip me off and give me some lame answer. i hate that (and them, now that i come to think about it.)<br />
<br />
what... is the average wingspan of an african sparrow? *twitchtwitch*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ holy shit. holy fucking shit.<br />
<br />
well, this is gonna be a relatively short entry. a lot of good things going for me at this time, a few bad things too. i'll only name one of the good things, because other peeps can identify with this.<br />
<br />
i drove on the highway. i got my permit less than a month ago, and i drove on the highway. once at daytime, once at night. on the way to chinatown, aye? <br />
<br />
it was pretty great. didn't know you could go so fast ^_^; you don't really know what it's like until you're behind the wheel. but MAN. you really DO need more time to react on the highway. but still. i'm still alive, the car has no dents, although it's running on empty. YAY!<br />
<br />
<b> question of the entry</b><br />
what is your highest philosophy?<br />
<br />
mine would be.. to just have fun. if you have fun, your brain absorbs more and you have a better time.<br />
<br />
also, don't take anything personally. if someone tells you to fuck off; you're a fuckign asshole, don't take it too personally. when you do that, you really limit yourself. i know what this lesson has to teach me as i've experienced it firsthand, and lost a friend because of it. no strife, this isn't you.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ mmkay. almost done with my first oil. got my first acryllic back, 40/40. teacher thinks i have actual technique xD yay.<br />
<br />
oil is doing alright. think i made the eyes too far apart, oh well, it was just a stupid doodle anyhow, which... is what everything there has BEEN so far. unfortunately, i'm running out of oils, and since out next drawing is *ahem* another oil, and a large one at th at, it might be just a tad difficult. <br />
<br />
mmkay. we get to make our own canvases this time. as in sawing our own wood. she said we could make it in ANY shape we wanted, not just squares. i like i'll make two puzzle-piece-like paintings and toss them into one, that might be cool.  then again, i might also just stick with the plain'ole rectangular one. simplicity does have its strong points....<br />
<br />
anyhow, i'm not gonna be posting my paintings here. and since most of my stuff lately is my paintings, you ain't gonna see much from me. there's a few things i could post. but i just don't FEEL like it. <br />
<br />
painting is actually getting to be quite fun. since everyone who isn't serious about it dropped out already, the artists who are looking to create.. ART.. are the ones remaining. mostly juniors and seniors. there's a cheerleader or two in the class, but eh, we don't talk.<br />
which reminds me.<br />
<br />
i got the position for mascot. yippee! but, since our school has like 10 different mascots (grr), i probably won't get to perform 'till the end of the year. boo. xD <br />
<br />
anyhow, don't know what to draw for devart next. a few suggestions might be nice. i suppose i would take anything that's not sonic or yiff. mm. MM! forgot to scan my other gift art in. whoops! i'll get to that this weekend <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<b>the magical question of the entry!</b><br />
mmkay. say you want someone to go bugger off. you don't know exactly how to tell them. what is the BEST way to do this?<br />
<br />
well, i usually try several methods. if i don't want to talk to this person directly - say he's broken off all connection with me, or has clearly stated they don't wish to come in contact with me'n my nasty 'ole breath - then i'll tell their friends to do it for me. sometimes that might not sink in, so before this person has a chance to respond, i'll do something drastic like hint obviously at it. <br />
<br />
mmkay. lets clarify. lets say this person thinks of you (and has told you this) as the equivalent of what you scrape off your shoe after leaving a dog kennel. and now they just won't stop trying to get your attention with irritating little comments on your stuff. no, it's not appreciated coming from a person like this, it's annoying. and, say he does this to more than one person. now, how do you tell him to go piss off for both of you? more hinting, perhaps?<br />
<br />
now, if you want attention or something along the lines of a civilized chat with me (yes, it is possible, contrary to popular opinion) then ASK. perhaps a little devart note, an email, or, as far-fetched as this sounds, an INSTANT MESSAGE. i don't bloody block people on my instant message list, i'm online 24/7, so it's pretty possible for someone in dire need to get ahold of me. i only HAVE 3 different screen names on 3 different messagers.<br />
<br />
mmkay. i have a sneaking suspicion he's doing this to another person, too, but i haven't asked. although i KNOW he is doing this to at least one other person i know. this other person having hinted at it, too, though thinks that this person is just trying to be a hole and is TRYING to piss him off.<br />
<br />
and bloody hell. if this isn't strong enough hinting, then i'll have to take it to you with a bloody sledgehammer. you know who you bloody are.<br />
<br />
and yes. i'm quite aware that this is public. i WANT it to be public. for everyone to see! and if no one gets the hint this time, i'll have to use names and even more sarcasm next time.<br />
<br />
cheerio!<br />
<br />

<b>YOU ARE SICK AND TWISTED.</b><br />

<br />
mmyes. i'm feeling strange right now. delusional perhaps. i'm REALLY tired, but i can't sleep. so i'm right here.<br />
<br />
went to the sci-fi club for a boffing tornament. boffing is where you beat eachother with foam padded weapons. believe it or not, i got there by special invite. hooray. O.o;<br />
anyhow, i won my fights. no prob.<br />
"what? why do i have to fight  HER? aw man! no fair!"<br />

<br />
do you think there's such thing as magic?<br />
if so, why?<br />
if not, explain things like prophetic coincidences (like, you're thinking of someone, a second later they call you or talk to you or something like that. just happened to me today, too.)<br /><br /> ]]></description>
