He had mud covering his nose and one of his eyes. They couldn't find the mom or anyone who knew what to do with him, so....they brought him to me.
He's about three weeks old. Too old to be away from his mom. Dehydrated. His eye is swollen. I think he has a cold, too.
The poor little thing.

I'm doing all I can for the little guy, I hope he can make it.

If he can pull through tonight, his chances will be a lot better

It's been to long...

Ok, number one priority!!!!!

Yesterday I made a big batch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, today I think I'll make a cake! Or maybe some flan with caramel sauce ^_^ Or some apple cobbler....or a pie!

What's your favorite dessert?

I'm so close to 4,000! That's one of those kiriban things!

For the person who can send me a screen shot the closest to the 4,000 mark, I will draw a commission for!

Any character/characters - graphite or colored

It's up to the winner!

I ordered a scanner!!!

Expect to see some new deviations up this January ^____^

]]> ~Alizabel http://Alizabel.deviantart.com/journal/22093714/ http://Alizabel.deviantart.com/journal/22093714/ Sat, 20 Dec 2008 22:37:01 PST This past summer was crazy, this fall was hectic and overwhelming, I'm curious to see how this time off of school will go.
I'm living in a house with my grandmother and great grandmother now, up in the town I grew up in now. This way I can still continue my education, and take care of them. It's going to take some getting used to, but I think things are settling (at least on my part)

My goals for January include:
-Try out at least three new recipes a week
-Obtain a scanner (and put it to good use!)
-Put a substantial dent in my shelf of books lined up to read
-Watch anime ^_^ (late at night, while in between my grandma's panic cycles...so it's not totally selfish, right? >.>
-Become better in spoken and written Japanese
-Work on (both) my novels
-Design the cover art for said novels
-Find some sort of activity that my Grandma will be able to do, and enjoy

This list will be continued... It's sort of a resolution list, in advance

Haha, already I am behind, too! I won't let it get me down, I'll just have to put in some extra effort in the next few days!

It's not too late to join up! Last years I started a week late! Go to Nanowrimo.org and sign up! I'm Tarinsa there, add me!

Well, the Anime Convention sure was lots of fun! So many cameras, though 0.0
I'm home for the weekend, so with the beautiful Internet here I can update things a little!
I've been down taking care of my grandma and great grandma for the past...almost two months, I think now. It's been lots of hard work, and I've really missed being home and seeing everyone I know. Worth it, though.
The reason I got to come home for the weekend was because of my cat... You see, for the past 11 years I have had my kitty as a constant companion. He means so much to me. 2AM Wednesday morning, he was rushed to the vet ER to try and save him. Things didn't go well, so they called me to ask if they could put him down. The toxin levels in his body were so high, they said he would be brain dead, and was unresponsive. I gave the ok, and spent the next hour and a half balling my eyes out. Then, I was talking on the phone with my Brother who was in the waiting room, and he said that my Mom was petting my cat. When they went to put him down, I said goodbye to him on speaker phone. He woke up. So they were doing their best to help him, but didn't want to tell me and get my hopes up. I got to 'talk' to him again, and he even responded enough to rub against the phone and try and stand. Transfer to next vet hospital, another surgery....over the past few days he has been through so much. It's really a miracle that he has made it this far. The vets are all baffled that he is still alive, though nowhere near good condition.
Yesterday morning I was able to take a train back home and go see him as soon as I got off. I'm so happy that I was able to see him again. He really means so much to me.
So it's been a rough while T_T

No internet stinks!!! I was hoping to be able to get some while I was down here, but....no T_T So no internet for me this summer. I'm using my grandma's dialup dinosaur...I hope she doesn't catch me! It's not that I'm not allowed to use it, just that she forgets that she gave permission.

Soooooo slooooooow -__________-

Anyways, sorry that I will not be able to comment on people's stuff very often for the next few months. Gomen nasai!

......

On a happy note, I'm sooo excited for the Anime Expo in July! I have one outfit ready, and the other is all ready sans the shirt!

I got lost today on the bus systems >.> Big towns are so complicated! Thankully I have a really nice friend who saved me!

Anyone else planning on going?

I'm planning my outfits right now! I think I will attempt to make two, so I can wear them every other day!

]]> ~Alizabel http://Alizabel.deviantart.com/journal/18313670/ http://Alizabel.deviantart.com/journal/18313670/ Tue, 13 May 2008 23:14:38 PDT 1. Choose a few of your own characters. SIX at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.

I choose:
The Girl (who has so far been referred to as 'Your Highness' and 'Miss'...name to come eventually)
Cam (My poor little adorable pathetic knight in training!)


How old are you?:
Girl: Just shy of being too old for my liking. I don't see why you need to know. *glare*
Cam: I'm turning 20 soon.

What's your height?
Girl: That is also not a point that you should be asking. You aren't my tailor. *crosses her arms*
Cam: She's 5 foot 1. *ducks from projectile thrown at him*
You can add a foot and quarter to her's, and get mine.

Do you have any bad habits?
Girl: Of course not. You really shouldn't be questioning me.
Cam: I guess I'm a bit...of a failure....But I'm working on it! I'm definitely going to do well on this mission!

Are you a virgin?
Girl: Locked up like I am in that stuffy castle with no one around, what do you expect?
Cam: .....*blush*......

Creator: You know, you are really embarrassing the both of them! Yes, they both are as they are not married and are good kids....for the most part.

Who's your mate/spouse?
Girl: I have Danric, we've been destined to wed since birth.
Cam: I....don't think anyone would ever go for a disgrace like me. There are better guards.

Do you have any kids?
Girl: Of course not!! I'm going to be much too busy for that sort of thing!
Cam: Not yet, but maybe someday...

What's your favorite food?
Girl: I would like a bowl of fruit with a saucer of cream and a braided pastry from the bakery just outside the castle....now.
Cam: I've always had a soft spot for peas....we used to grow them back on the farm.

What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Girl: A strawberry mango sorbet made from the fruits the ambassadors brought back as a gift.
Cam: Peppermint!


Have you killed anyone?
Girl: No. But...you can be the first if you keep making me answer these questions!! Or I'll just have Danric kill you for me...
Cam: ...only in the line of duty....

Do you hate anyone?
Girl: You!! And the sniffly white wigged control freaks that limit everything I can do around here!
Cam: Hate is a very strong emotion to feel for someone else....

Have any secrets?
Girl: As if I would tell them to some annoying interviewer like you...
Cam: *blush*

Do you love anyone?
Girl: Of course I will love Danric when we are wed. I mean, I've always loved him!! It's meant to be!
Cam: *mumble mumble blush*

What is your job?
Girl: Heir to the kingdom. Pretty big job, don't you think? And YOU are keeping me from things by asking me questions! *grumbles* who do you think you are....
Cam: *stands up straighter* I'm currently a gate guard, going through training to become a knight.

Boy or girl?
Girl: Have you not noticed the entier time I've been talking to you?! Girl, obviously.
Cam: I'm..I'm a boy. Could you not see?

What do you do to relax?
Girl: String interviewers on wires hanging from the towers over the moat *grin*
Cam: *whispers* She likes to play with her cat...but I didn't tell you that. *clears his throat* Umm, I like to pratice my swordfighting.

*girl bursts out laughing* Right...swordfighting....

What song do you think would best describe yourself?
Girl: The New World Symphony
Cam: Maybe.... *girl cuts in*
girl: The song that never ends! Perfectly annoying with it's repitition.
Cam: -_____-,,

Any hidden talents or something no one else knows about you?
Girl: I bet I have so many talents that I haven't even discovered yet I could reveal one a minute for the next ten years and still have more to show!
Cam: .... *sweatdrop*

What do you think of your creator?
Girl: ...She could use some work. I mean, she obviously has those genius moments, after all, she did create me, but....look at all the people she made around me? Come now, you can do better....
Cam: I wish she wasn't always making things so hard on me....it would be better for someone more capable....

What color is your hair?
Girl: Really really really really dark brown. Not Black.
Cam: Eh, it's sort of a mixture of...
*girl cuts in again* girl: Imagine taping a bunch of straw and twigs to someone's head, that should be about the right mix of colors!
Cam: eh....thanks for the help there, Your Highness -_____-,,

And there concludes a really weird interview with two characters mostly no one here even knows exist!
>_>
<_<


Ok, now on to the real reason for my journal. This summer is going to be very different for me, and I'm finding t... ]]> ~Alizabel http://Alizabel.deviantart.com/journal/18193205/ http://Alizabel.deviantart.com/journal/18193205/ Tue, 06 May 2008 08:41:59 PDT
Here's my promise to you...

Depending on how this goes, when I get back I will post something new up! Let's hope it goes well, so I can post something happy!

Wish me luck guys, I need this!

As soon as things slow down a bit (probably finals-ish time, I would guess), I will do my best to catch up on everything here!

Again, I'm very sorry!

.....I stayed up all night playing detective, tracking him from place to place, trying to revive dead leads, hack into internet accounts, and other assortment of things you really don't want to do in the middle of the night. I have no idea how many phone calls and such I made, how many people I questioned. We had to file a police report. My father was so mad that he was being awful to my mom, so I had to do all the middle work between the two (they are divorced and live in different towns) I hate being the middle person, but I guess that's what I was born to be.

Anyways, after all night investigations, we did find him this morning. He just got back from talking with the police to clear his missing persons case or whatever it was.

Story short, things are crazy here, no one has slept, and everyone wants to kill someone.

I need a vacation.....

I have been insanely happy since last night. Miraculously, with all things considered. I was pulled away from a wonderful art party with my bestest friend to go down to these awful apartments we manage for some walk throughs and paperwork. Then when we went to eat dinner, my mom had to take a call and I was rather alone and bored. So then, of course I try and turn things around, by challenging my mom to some games and ice cream when we get home, to celebrate a night without my siblings. When we get home, my brother was there -____-,, so no game party for us.

But....then I checked my e-mail....and had the most lovely news!! I *hopefully* will be able to start up teaching Kung Fu again soon!! I'm soooooo excited, I've missed it so much!

Soooo, to sum things up...

WOO HOO
~Kung Fu!
~I'm still living
~The house has been so nice and quiet today!
~My father actually said in passing that he might help me pay for school!!

Boo Hoo
~I'm not getting financial aid for next school year...
~My hand is still partially skinless >.< and I'm out of big band-aides!
~I'm stuck in a rut with my drawings I've been working on.
~I'm really missing some peoples

Gomen nee!

I just wanted to post this little note saying that I won't be around for a while, as I am leaving to go down to my grandmother's house (which is very devoid of internet signals for my poor lappy top here) I'm excited to see my grandma and great grandma since it's been a few months. I'm hoping that they remember me.

I suppose the long drive will give me time to study my Japanese and listen to some music (mostly to drown out the arguing noises that are sure to fill the air outside of my headphones.)

That and a friend of mine moved far away. Doofy distance...
I'm trying hard not to erase their existence like I normally do. It's a dreadful habit of mine.

Oh, and, as a note....

The next person who says they are leaving here will have their feet nailed to the ground!! >.<

Question!!
What sorts of things would you like to see in my gallery? More of one sort of style or media? Any themes?
I'm very open to suggestions at the moment.

I'll try and catch up with everyone's deviations and comments as soon as I get back to the wifi-ed world!

Anyways, I built one of my new bookshelves today! It was nice having a good reason to clean up that corner of my room. It looks so nice over there that I moved my little laptop table over there to enjoy the cleanness! Maybe that's a sign that I should tidy up the rest of the room too....

I've had a few projects that I have been planning on doing for a while now, and I really want to start on those! Well, more like keep going on them, since I have started them already...

Hmm, I think I'm just rambling right now! Sorry about that!

Spring break is next week! Maybe I'll have some time to get these things done that I want to do!

I suppose I could mention that I am seriously considering cutting my hair and dyeing the undertips purple >.> Almost did today.
I could also mention that I am soooooo close at an moment to having a mental breakdown that it's pretty pathetic. I've got to be the stable one around here, though, so I can't let that happen.
Everyone is leaving again. Or those who already left are choosing now to shove their empty spaces in my face just to remind me how pathetic I am. I'm starting to think that I should really try for that social isolationism thing again.

Hmmm....I really hope no one is wasting their time with still reading this!
Sorry for the bother, I just needed to type that out of my system.

...but I'm rather miffed at my grade >.< Yes, I didn't pay attention in class because I didn't care for the subject, but....really, an 89.4% ?! Being so close to a good grade is killing me *glares at grade site*

My tablet came! Now....to learn how to use it! Yea, it confuses me. More the programs than anything else. Minor setback, though, I'm determined to figure this thing out!

I'm so very excited, I can't wait till it finally gets here! It comes with fun programs too, and I will love it so! Expect some pretty ewwy drawings at first while I get the hang of it....
Between buying that, the camera I got for christmas, and the other various art supplies from the holidays, I am one happy wanna be art person!

I got it at a very discounted price, but I need to send in proof of full time enrollment at my college still before they will send it. I was going to have to settle for a smaller one or some other brand, and nearly bought one when I found this offer! So very happy!

All I need is a scanner to make my life complete. But I'm not complaining

On a relitively random note, I took quite a few pictures today on campus. One in particular I'm very very happy with. I think that it passes muster, I may just post it later today ^-^ It's sooo pretty!

Question:
What would you like to see more of in my gallery?

Hehe, we had a little party last night, complete with a celebrity guest appearance! A life size cutout of one, that is. It was so funny! A Jack Sparrow standing in my entryway to pose with people for pics! It was soooo funny!

I'm bringing in the new year with a few art trades! I'll go work on those!

I surpassed 1,000 pageviews!! I was on to see it happen, too!

On an unhappy note.....it's nearly my birthday.....*sniffles* I'm going to be getting old....I hate birthdays. No, not all of them, just mine. Nothing good has happened on one in a few years, I'm not expecting this year to break the streak. >.<

It's terrible, because there are quite a few that I would like to read, but do not have any access to. Grrr...maybe if I get a job I can finally afford to buy more books!

I hate being outside in the sun with all those bugs.....not because I hate bugs, I just feel terribly guilty whenever something happens to one because of me.
A few days ago, I was painting and there was a spider whose tunnel web I took out earlier. The spider kept trying to protect it's home, even tough the outer part was destroyed. If I shooed it away, it wouldn't move more than an inch without coming back.
So I tried to paint around where it was, hoping it would just jump down to the safty of the ground....it didn't and crawled onto the wet paint. I kept painting for a bit until I noticed the pretty spider wasn't looking so well, it was all...wilty and stuff, didn't hold it'swelf up out of the paint anymore.
I freaked out and tried my best to gently move it off the paint and onto the ground, but it was too late. I sat in horrified silence as the spider slowly suffered to death from paint fume inhalation.

I feel terrible still. I should have helped it sooner....

I think not >.<

So after going to school and then working (which is perfectly horrid, seeing as I am a clutz and roofing nails+me= strange tunnel like holes in my hand....) He wants to go to a baseball game?! Not sports.....so I ride along on the BART public transportation thingy after driving for hours to get there....and sit in a stadium.

All the buildings were locked up too, so I had to sit outside. I wasn't very happy, to say the least.
One good thing has come out of these few days, though. I'm nearly done with a pencil drawing that I started while I was stranded. I'm pretty happy with it ^_^
