                <description><![CDATA[ [[Basics]]<br />- What is your cosplay alias?<br />AmaraSan<br /><br />- How many years have you cosplayed?<br />Hm...about...4.5 to 5..somewhere in there.<br /><br />- How did you get into cosplaying?<br />I was going to a convention in California with my high school's Anime Club, and I heard that people usually attended in "cosplay", dressing up as Anime/Video Game characters.<br /><br />- What was your first convention and how did it go?<br />Anime Expo 2005. It..was..FANTASTIC! AMAZING! SO overwhelming, but SO MUCH FUN!!! I was hooked instantly.<br /><br />- How many cons have you been to?<br />Anime Expo 2005, AniZona 2006, AX 2006, Phoenix-Cactus Comicon 2006, PCC 2007, AniZona 2007 (I'm lost as far as numbers go), CopperCon somewhere in there, PCC 2008, Saboten-Con 2008, AniZona 2008???, PCC 2009, AniZona 2009, Saboten-Con 2009, various Anime Fests and gatherings...I think that's everything so far.<br /><br />- How many cosplays have you done?<br />Oh wow...I want to say about 19? And many more to come! @.@~!<br /><br /><br />[[Your Cosplays]]<br /><br />- What was your first cosplay and why did you choose it?<br />Rinoa Heartilly from Final Fantasy VIII. I loved the character, and the costume seemed easy enough to put together on short notice--to my mother, since I had no sewing ability whatsoever at the time XD It was and it wasn't, because there are still a lot of details and add-ons I need to sort out... @.x;<br /><br />- What is your favorite cosplay you've done so far?<br />I loved all of the fangirls I got when I was Edward! Rinoa was my first, so she'll always be special... But so far I think my favorite has been Kallen! I haven't been cosplaying her for long, but I already have so many memories and experiences from ONE cosplay than from all my others!<br /><br />- What is your least favorite you've cosplayed?<br />Hm...I don't think I have any. Except maybe Aya Brea, because few to NO ONE seemed to ever know who I was.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />- What cosplay is the most uncomfortable?<br />Hm...Good question...None of them are really uncomfortable (At least not yet <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />; ), unless you account for weather. Example: dressing as Larxene/Vexen/Kallen in summer-weather...not the brightest idea. x.x;<br /><br /><br />[[Process]]<br /><br />- How do you research the cosplay before you make it?<br />I gather as many reference pictures as I can, from the series and of people actually cosplaying the character to see what it'll look like in real life, if I can. I also like to study the characters themselves. More often than not I choose a character because I like something about them, or feel a certain connection to them. It just makes it that much more enjoyable when I can actually get into character. :'D<br /><br />- Do you sew your cosplays yourself?<br />I do now. xD I've had to feel like a child saying "My mom made it" for too long! (LOL) Or feel ashamed that I bought it.. NO LONGER! ><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />- If so, how did you learn to sew? If not, do you plan to learn?<br />From watching people, watching friends, watching my mom. And getting some first-hand lessons. It's how I learn to do most things.. >.>;<br /><br />- Do you make your own props?<br />Nope. Still gotta ask for favors. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> But I would really like to learn and hopefully get the hang of it, like I have sewing...<br /><br />- If so, how did you learn to? If not, do you plan to learn?<br />I do plan to learn!<br /><br />- Do you style your own wigs?<br />Not yet, but I'm about to go hand to hand with that Kallen wig...You need spikes, girl!<br /><br />- What other skills do you use to create your cosplays?<br />Sheer dumb luck?<br /><br />- What skill has been most useful for making your cosplay?<br />Imagination! (I agree!) And a love and passion for what I'm doing. I want to awe and inspire people. It feels amazing getting compliments/appreciation for your hard work. :]<br /><br />- What is the hardest thing when making a cosplay?<br />Making an unusual clothing item when no patterns exist. So much screws up, and you have to keep altering and altering until it's right. (Agreed, again!) Adding things, too--though I guess that counts as altering, doesn't it. @@;<br /><br />- What was the biggest screw up you've had making a cosplay?<br />My Kallen cosplay keeps falling apart! I'm about to have to make the blasted thing all over again...MORE THREAD!<br />And to this day I still don't have those wings painted on Rinoa's duster. And it's too short.<br />Other than that...I've on... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I need to find a home for my golden retriever, Daisy.<br />
For about seven months (from December until about a week ago) we left her and Samantha with people that I have known since their oldest daughter/child and I were in first grade together. My parents and I didn't have a choice--when they divorced, my father moved into a condominium where dogs of that size aren't allowed, and my mother's apartment is far too small. So we trusted them with these people.<br />
We (Dante and I) pointed out problems to them when we visited for Daisy's 10th birthday on December 20th, and again sometime in April (specifically that Samantha's eyes were looking really cloudy), but were brushed off like it was nothing. <br />
When we found them less than two weeks ago, Daisy was 20 pounds overweight because she hadn't been given her thyroid medication for somewhere around 5 months. Rather than take Daisy in to get groomed properly for the summer, this family tried to do it themselves. And Samantha was over 20 pounds underweight. You could see her ribs, her legs were barely strong enough to keep her standing, and she was so blind she couldn't walk around without bumping into things. Her legs were covered in sores that were split open and bleeding, and her fur was nothing like the softness I remembered. <br />
Two days ago, 5PM, Tuesday July 3, 2007 we had to put Samantha down. She had diabetes and because nothing had been done for seven months, it was too late. She would have turned 9 years old yesterday, on July 4th.<br />
So I'm stuck with a problem: my parents have put Daisy up for adoption through Golden Retriever rescue, and it's possible that they've already found someone...but even though she'll be better off with anywhere other than the house she's staying at now, the "rule" is that you must sever all ties. I will never be able to see her again. Daisy was given to me for my 8th birthday, so even though I want her to get out of this person's house (sorry, but I won't give names...), I don't want to lose her right after having to lose Sammy.<br />
I know it can be expensive caring for a dog, so I have to find someone that can handle it. I need to find a friend who will love her, care for her,...who won't neglect her. She's 20 pounds overweight, as I said, but now that her medication will hopefully be regular, she'll be fine. It would certainly be best if she had a yard to run around in. She's sweet, gets along with other dogs (obviously, she was like Sammy's mother =3) and cats (she's spent her life with two--Baby [before she passed away] and Violet). She's the sweetest dog I have ever met...<br />
I need to find someone within the next few days. I love her, and I don't want to lose her. I need anyone and everyone who even THINKS they can handle it to send me messages, call me, whatever you have to. I will decide based on information, parents' approval (mine and yours, obviously), and so on. Which is another thing: please make sure you're parents are ok with it first--assuming of course you already live on your own. I don't need to get my hopes up over nothing.<br />
Just please contact me as soon as possible. This is serious. I need your help, everyone...<br />
Hell, if we share friends that maybe I don't have on my DA or MySpace or whatever, and you think they might be able to take her in, by all means, do me a favor and repost this for them.<br />
I appreciate it, and I love you guys for trying... Thanks...<br />
<br />
E-MAIL ME AT: x_vivid_dreamer_x@yahoo.com if you don't have my number...I might not think to check DA in time, so it would be best to reach me there...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everybody~! o.o<br />
Sorry I haven't been around lately. Life has been..erm...complicated lately, and getting right to the point: I don't have internet at my mom's apartment yet, which is where I'm living now.<br />
Yes, I know. I can see the looks of "Huh? 0_o;;?" on some of your faces, but I'll have to explain later. For now, I must go. I'mma busy-bee! DX<br />
For those of you that still wish to keep in contact with me (since I obviously RARELY get on DA anymore), here's my...<br />
MySpace: AmaraSan (amara_the_spirit_detective@yahoo.com)<br />
and if you can't contact/add me on that for whatever reason, IM me on AIM: Anime Goddess183<br />
That's it for now I guess...gotta look up one more thing for my Art class before I leave my dad's condo. (and the only internet connection I have for the time-being) and head back to my mom's place.<br />
Sayonara, everybody~! Hope to see some of you at the Anime Drive-in at the MetroCenter location of AC (Jan. 19), or at Comicon '07 (Jan. 26-28)!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I've been Role-Playing on AIM or Yahoo!, catching up on homework for all of my friggin sick days (though they are less than last year at least..), reading, and so on...I haven't had much inspiration for poetry, I just rant in my "private journal" or let it build...At least I was able to have an emotional breakdown the other day on the phone with my friend, Vashy. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />; But anyway, my point is...<br />
I'M SO SORRYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! GOMEN NASAIIIII!!!! PLEASE, FORGIVE ME!!!!! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON MORE, AND I COME BACK TO 81 MESSAGES THAT YOU ALL TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE AND WHATNOT, AND I WASN'T EVEN HERE TO READ THEM!!!! I MADE YOU WAIT!!! GOMEN NASAIIIIIIII!! WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
-Clears her throat.- I feel better now. >_><br />
<br />
Alright, I guess I just have to hope no one out there is homophobic, because I'm just so happy, and I don't want to keep this to myself anymore...<br />
I'm bisexual. I'm leaning a little more towards girls, but I am bisexual. I have a girlfriend, and here's why I'm so happy, finally: she is going to spend the entire winter break with me. <333!!!! She's arriving around 1PM on the 22nd of December, and will, sadly *Tear* be departing on the 7th of January, but not until 9PM or so...<br />
But I'm still happy! After battling depression for a while... -Weird noise [see "Final Fantasy on Random Battles" at newgrounds.com].- ...I am HAPPY!!!!!! <333<br />
No, sorry. I don't love the world. <^>o_O<^> BUT I LOVES /YOU/! I DO! OMIGUSH! I'M SO FLIPPING HAPPY, I WANT TO SHARE IT WITH CAITI AND JESSIE AND TIFFANY AND RITSU-CHAN AND VASHY AND EDWARD-KITTY AND KELLY AND EVERYONE! ESPECIALLY MY KELSIE! <333<br />
<br />
-Coughs.- Anyway...on a more serious note, I cannot, unfortunately, be entirely happy... I'm just going to say that someone else has died, and this someone was a very nice, very good person, and he made lots of people happy... So, R.I.P. ... You were really cool. <br />
<br />
-Sighs.- Ah, but...I don't want to be a downer...'cause that seems to be my job WAY too often... -_-;<br />
AniZona 2006! Who else is going?! I'm going, and I'm going to be dressed as Rinoa Heartilly from Final Fantasy VIII since the costume is already ready and spiffy! <3 Now, if I could just get some wings for the back and lengthen the duster, all would be well... <br />
... ANYWHO! <3 My mom did good, I'll admit that. Ah, yes! And I FINALLY found my "Rinoa boots" <333 I won't have to walk around in those painful hooker boots anymore...! TT__TT Yay...! Hmm...So! Anyone else who is going to AniZona '06, please let me know so I don't have to keep asking! And perhaps we can meet up there.. If you can't already tell, I'm excited. And guess what else, everyone?! I'm going to AX'06 (Anime Expo 2006) as...<br />
Edward Elric!!! Yes! ME! I'm going to be dressed as Edward! Blonde hair, red trench, pocket watch, and everything! Sadly, I cannot do the automail arm...So, either that arm will be "removed", or I will just have to wear the trenchcoat and black shirt(s) everywhere x.x Alas! Why must California be so warm during the summer?! And yet...the weather's kinda nice... o_O So...I guess I can't complain <3<br />
<br />
Anyway, I think that's about all...Oh! SUPPOSEDLY my parents are going to be getting a scanner in the next few months... -Cough-DOUBT IT-Cough- ...And if they do, I promise I'll put up more of my artwork..even though it sucks... ._. I'll keep practicing! I will! ... -Sweatdrop.- ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, AX is over (WAS over on the 4th/5th, but anyway..), and it was fun as all hell! I loved it! I can't wait until next year, but at the same time I'm thinking "Wait...I have to WAIT!?!" Ah well, it just gives me more time to perfect my Rinoa costume. Instead of using the wings my parents so kindly bought me for my Rinoa costume, I used them for my kick-ass "Wish Cat" costume, a mystic creature from the Tarot Cafe (though in the Tarot Cafe, there was a male Wish Cat; I was a female). Want to know what's awesome about that? A professional photographer, doing a book/article..something!..on cosplayers, asked me to come to her studio in the D hall of the ACC (Anaheim Convention Center) so she could take some pictures! It was so cool, and a lot of fun! I got to pose as a character I created, from a series that I love, by an awesome author called Sang-Sun Park! Woot! <br />
So, my costumes were this: Rinoa Heartilly from Final Fantasy VIII, Haruna Itsuki, twin sister of Naoya Itsuki, from Aquarian Age Juvenile Orion, and last but not least, a Wish Cat from the Tarot Cafe.<br />
If you have never gone to AX, you need to. It's every summer, though I don't know the dates for sure, at the Anaheim Convention Center (ACC), and it is SO worth paying the $45 for the pass...and yeah, it was worth waiting FIVE HOURS in line to get said pass. Oh God, people were getting pissed and I was one of them. My MOM was getting pissed, cursing every now and then at the stupidity of the moronic pricks that were supposedly "organizing" the line. Ha! If that was organization, I would hate to see how unorganized they can get--people would die! x_X Anyway, it was still fun.<br />
Also, every night (except Monday) there is a REALLY fun dance with Hip-Hop, Techno, and so on, that goes from 9PM-2AM, and at...either 12AM or 1AM, they have an Adult Swim. XD I think it was supposed to be a 16- (or maybe 18- ) or-older thing, but the DJ just said that "Anyone who can't handle cursing, blushes whenever the 'F-word' pops up in conversations, or gets nauseous when people swear...THEN THOSE BITCHES HAD BETTER GET THE FUCK OUT BECAUSE WE'RE STARTING THE ADULT SWIM!!!" I stayed. Had a blast. Mom almost killed me, but it was worth it. On the last night I met an awesome girl that I had met at an Anime Fest out here, and we were "dirty dancing". ... Yeah. We got a lot of cat-calls and had a blast! YOU RAWK, JESSIE-SAN!!<br />
<33 I'll write more as I remember it. <3 ya! And remember... "What happens in Anaheim...STAYS in Anaheim!"<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ YES! FINALLY! I leave for the Anime Expo in Anaheim, California in two (one now, since it's past midnight...) days, this Thursday, June 30, 2005 until July 5, 2005! I might not be back on until the 6th though, because I have no idea what time it will be. But I am SO excited. Even though I'm ashamed to say that I didn't help making my costume--my mom had to hand stitch most of it and I did NOT want to get in the way, and she did NOT want me IN the way, so yeah...<br />
BUT! I am very proud of how well my mom did. It looks GREAT. When I'm totally decked out with my boots and everything, I look SO close to her, and I am SO happy! MY MOM EVEN BOUGHT ME ANGEL WINGS. Well, when the woman at the rental place gave me the price for buying or renting and said it would be cheaper to buy--Angel wings actually weren't for rent, as we found out when my mom and I got there--I could barely hold it in. The SECOND...the INSTANT...I hung up the phone--thank gawd I was home alone at the time--I WHOOPED. I whooped like no one has ever WHOOPED before. I. WAS. SO. FRIKKIN'. HAPPY. And I have been happy lately. Yay for summer! I think I went through a rough time because of school and things going on in my life, but Summer vacation is here, and I'm on my way to my first out-of-town Anime Expo with some cool friends from my school's Anime Club. YAY!!!! I know I'll have a good time, so don't fret!<br />
Oh, and since I plan on cosplaying as Rinoa, I thought I'd look up some quotes, try to use them as much as I can, y'know? I found that my friends from school were right. I do act like her (sometimes)! The things she says are things I would say. I've become more bold now, so now they're things I'd be even more likely to say. Plus, I was lucky enough to find a page that had things like her...mannerisms, I guess. Things she does, nervous habits, etc. ...She fiddles with her necklace. I do that. She does this cute little sitting position thing that she does, sometimes even in the middle of the conversation. I do that, especially when I'm looking at something near the ground. I mean, I sit just like her o__o Friends that know me, when you see what I'm talking about...I was SO happy. I feel so honored to be remotely similar to one of my favorite Final Fantasy characters O__O!! Although, she is much cuter. She's just so...Rinoa Heartilly-ish! I <3 Rinoa+Squall! -Squeals like the fangirl she will become this weekend.- Well, I need what rest I can get...until the 5th or 6th, my friends! -Bows, then skips off to bed.- ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow. I login to find 43 messages waiting for me. WHY have I been away for so long? Well, for one thing, school. I lost all motivation to draw, and only recently when my mother -Growls.- bought me art supplies did I get it back. I look back at the picture I drew of my character, Amara, I realize how horrible it looks. Ah well, at least I was able to be proud of it for a while--but if I was satisfied only with THAT level of skill, I wouldn't get any better, now would I? Anyway, I'm getting a bit better. I drew an awesome picture (Or so I think now) that I was going to put up on DA, but I thought it would be cool to try the new pens bought for me to see if I could shade with them. Um...no... I RUINED A COOL PICTURE! DAMN ME! DAMN ME TO HELL!<br />
*Ahem* Well anyway, I'm disappointed and all, but I'll get over it. Eventually...<br />
My summer is so packed with crap. Jeez! I'm going to Kansas and Missouri for 13 days, then as soon as I get back I have to get ready for the Anime Expo in Anaheim on the weekend of the 4th of July. THEN I'm later going to San Diego, POSSIBLY Maryland, somewhere up camping, and so on. It may not sound like much to all of you who are taking trips to Europe and Ireland and AREN'T TAKING ME! (I'm not bitter. What are you talking about, phsycho?!) ...But to me, it's stressful, and my dad with his "Oh yes, life must be so hard for you" and all of that sarcastic BULL CRAP is NOT. HELPING.<br />
Thank you, and I wish you all a good night and a fun summer. I'll try to start getting more pictures up (though you can't really get the full effect because I have to use my digital just to get them on the frikken computer, but we'll see if that doesn't all change when my dad finally gets a damn scanner.) as I draw them, but don't expect too much improvement. I think I should have it stricken from the record that that awful picture I have up there currently is of my beautiful, sweet-yet-ass-kicking, sexy, (dumb)blonde-- -Gets thwacked randomly for adding "dumb" in there.- --loving-and-loveable, Amara. Thank you. -Bows before POOFING magically...- ... -Falls conveniently onto her bed several moments later, coughing and hacking from smoke inhalation due to poofing.- Good *Wheeze* Night! *Hack* *Cough* ...Au revoir...people. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ In case anyone was wondering why I  haven't posted anything new in a while,  it's because of my mother. -_- I won't  go into details really, but she  constantly invades my privacy, and when  she wants to do it on the computer, she  goes and "closes down" everything I  leave up, and as she's "logging me off"  my stuff, she somehow manages to read  it. Ok, the Logout button is at the top  of the page, so WHY are you reading  something that's closer to the middle  of the page, woman?! It was my  "T.G.I.F. ...Kind of =.=" journal  entry. You know, the one with all the  CURSING!! I almost died. I wish I had  never answered the phone when she  called, but then again, if I hadn't, I  wouldn't have seen the things she  PRINTED OUT and left on the counter for  her and my dad to look at. I hung up on  her, sure, but I don't regret that  because at least I was calm and wasn't  yelling at her. If anyone preaches to  me about how she's only trying to help,  I'll just ignore it. One may think  she's just trying to keep me safe and  all, but she does it way too much.  Anyway, I asked her about it before I  hung up (then went and tore it up  afterwards), and what she said almost  killed me. "I couldn't tell you what it  was about, but you gave too much of  your schedule....blah, blah, blah." How  would that almost kill me? I was so  relieved I could have died right then  and there from my heart going  "OHTHANKYOUGODALMIGHTYIWANNATHANKTHELITT LEPEOPLE...!!!!!" <br />
Anyway, if someone out there can come  up with some invention that will shock  parents every time they try to sneak on  and see what we're doing, I will be one  of the happiest children alive! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay...Sunday... =.= I hate Sundays,  because you always have this "Hey,  tomorrow's Monday" feeling. Ugh. I  can't stand Mondays, because you know  that you then have a full week of  school ahead of you. Tuesdays, I just  feel like I'm stuck, y'know?  Wednesday...ok, getting there...End of  school, yay Sci-Fi time! Thursday is a  "YES! TOMORROW'S FRIDAY!" kind of day  for me, and Fridays are of course  awesome because you'll finally be free  once 7th Period is over! The bad thing  about Fridays though is that they feel  so long because you're constantly  counting down! Saturdays are great  because you stay up as late as you can  because it's the last night of the  weekend you can do that, and then  you're back to Sunday...goody.<br />
Last night wasn't such a great Saturday  night though, but it got better thanks  to my new friend Dale, as well as my  desire to see FMA and stay up late  eating junk food. But especially Dale.  He was there to show me that "Hey, he's  actually trying to help me and actually  wants me to stay, something that other  people can't always say to me." I was  really down and everything, and the  thing that made me feel even worse is  that my friends can't say to me what I  want to hear because it's not the  truth, but that's ok. I can feel that  way about them, and I know that  everything's not perfect and things  will be horrible sometimes, but I can  get over it. I can say, "Fuck you, it's  my life and I'm going to live it  happily. Sure I may run away from  someone now and then, but I'm doing  what's right for me, and I don't need  you telling me I'm worthless, so kiss  my ass!" ^_^ I love ranting. I love  FMA, and I love Dale because he's teh  shit. I also love oblivious people  because they can make some things so  easy XD Thanks for listening and for  reading! And by the way, I won't tell  you what I want to hear--from my  friends--because it's up to them to  figure out for themselves and with  their own hearts. ^_~ I love you guys! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This was a pretty good week aside from  the fact that I was out of school for  two days, Wednesday and Thursday, with  another stomach ache. And I had to go  to the doctor again. Not a bad week  actually, except...<br />
Wednesday night, from 6PM-10PM, Kayla,  TJ, Chelsea, and some "uninvited  guests", as well as my mom--who had a  headache--went to my school to work on  a project at night for my and Kayla's  TV Production class. This project is  due Wednesday, 3/9/05, so we really  needed to get this done, especially  since we had gotten everyone together  that we needed. We even had to get  special permission to be able to get  inside the school after hours, had to  meet a janitor who would let us in,  etc. This took A LOT of planning,  coordination, focus, and time. We were  there for 4 HOURS, working our asses  off, and I had to try to keep an  extremely ADHD-ridden  child--Kayla--focused. For a High  School TV Production Project done by a  group of freshman, this was PERFECT! We  had the ending, and all of the  nighttime scenes finished--which is a  lot of the short film--so all we had to  do was the day shots and credits. We  had had fun while working, and we had  done an EXCELLENT job! I thought  everything was great, and having those  shots done, I think everyone felt  relieved because they were some of the  most difficult. We would almost  definitely have the film edited and  finished in time. Or so I thought.<br />
I got a call from Kayla last night,  Thursday night, and she sounded out of  it. I asked if she was OK, and she  assured me that she was fine. I said  "Ok" rather hesitantly, not believing  her. Whenever she speaks to me she's  always happy and bouncy and SO FULL OF  ENERGY that I often want to strangle  her, unless of course she's having a  bad day. But she was being rather  quiet. She just said that she was OK,  and was just playing a game. After a  while, I just knew something was wrong,  and I told her that she wasn't fooling  me and to tell me what was up. She  said, "No, you'll kill me..." That gave  it away that I was right and something  was wrong. "Did something happen? I  mean, are you ok? You're not hurt or  anything...?" "No, I'm fine..."  "Ok...is anyone else hurt or  something?" "No..." Then what is it?!"  "Well, you see...You know how you gave  me the tape and I was supposed to turn  it in to Mr. Pearlman (TV Pro. teacher)  today?" "Yes...? Kayla! Did you lose  it, or leave it somewhere?!" "Nooo..."  "Then tell me what happened already!"  "Um...This morning..you know how I  showed it to my mom last night?" "Yeah,  go on..." "Well, I rewound it and  everything after I was done, but this  morning I thought I hadn't for some  reason, so I saw how pretty the sunrise  was, and I wanted you to see it...I  accidentally left the tape on while I  was talking to Eric, who took me to  school." "-Stares blankly ahead of her,  totally shocked from here on...-  ...What are you saying...?" "I, um...I  recorded over it."  ".........................." "...I'm  sorry...! *Whimper*" *Insert Dad  annoyingly walking in and interrupting  here.* "...All of it?..." *Who are you  talking to?* "Yes..I'm so sorry...it  was so pretty, *Morgan?* and I wanted  you to be able to see it..." "-Waves  him away, still staring.- ........."  "...Sorry.. ;-;" *...? Morgan, talk to  me*(Hello! Do I not appear busy?!)  "........." "I felt SO guilty all day  today, and I am so sorry...!!" *Finally  walks off to do who-knows-what*  "......I have to go..." "No, Morgan!"  "...I..need to get something to eat. I  haven't really eaten anything today,  and I need food. -Gets up slowly.-"  "Oh, you're getting food? Will you call  me back when you're done?" "Huh!  Maybe...I'll see if I can.... -Begins  walking towards the kitchen to "get  food" and hang up the phone on its  charger.-" *Followed by dad, who seemed  to have come out of nowhere* "Ok, talk  to you later!" "...Uh-huh.... *Click*"  *Who was that? Huh? Whatsa matter?*<br />
...Wow. That was the second thought  that came to mind after,  "Oh...my...God......" WOW. Wow, huh?  Wow...I was in total shock. All of that  hard work, dealing with my mom who was  getting impatient and a bit pissed  about it taking so long when she  thought it would only take half an  hour, organizing and catching  Chelsea--who goes to another school--at  a time when she was available, and  getting permission...everything. All  for nothing. Wow. I was totally shocked  and couldn't stop just spacing out and  staring for up to at least five minutes  at a time, my mind was a blank, and I  was just... "Wow." And then she tells  me, after I said that we WERE GOING TO  DO IT AGAIN, that her mom wouldn't let  her stay after school again, probably  because we were out so late. This is  Kayla's responsibility, her mom's being  a tight-ass as usual, so I just said  simply: "Too bad." I know how her mom  is, and she thought she needed to  remind me, so I said again, "Too bad.  We're going to chang... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was a typical Monday...I mean,  Tuesday. o_o; Except that it was a half  day and my parents didn't know. YAY! I  CAN SNEAK ON! I get home all excited  and antsy, then open the door, turn off  the alarm...I'm going to go check to  make sure both cars are gone when what  do I hear? "Helloooooo...?" -_- HONEY,  HE'S /HOOOOME/! Wow, shot down. He  didn't leave until two, which is only  about 45 minutes until my mom gets  home. I was ticked, but happy to get  SOME sneak-time. But what do I get  instead? MY INTERNET ACTING UP! WHERE  THE HELL HAS MY FUN TUESDAY GONE!? On  top of that, my friend said he would  call me in about an hour. That was  around two, and it's now 7:51. =.= My  "Fun Day" has been shot to Hell. Oh  well, I guess I can always watch X-Men  1.5 after I get off... -Sigh.-<br />
I guess I seem pissed at my friend--the  one who moved and seems to have  forgotten to call me again--and I am,  to a certain extent...Really, I'm just  a bit impatient. I keep thinking, "I  should tell him today...No, then I'll  look like a coward." *Grumbles  incoherently* I don't know. Maybe I'll  just stop babbling about burnt out  fires and start talking about...fish.  -Actually has no idea what she's  saying.- I won't eat anything but  salmon, and even that gets old after  having it five dinners-with-my-parents  in a row. Now I'm really babbling, yay!<br />
Maybe I'm just tired...Yeah, that's  it...Sleepy... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ugh. I woke up this morning at about  10:50AM after staying up reading until  3:30AM. I got on the computer right  away of course, knowing that at 12:30PM  I would have to study with my dad,  probably for two hours. I ended up  getting until about 1PM, then went  outside and talked with my dad for a  while before he had me begin my  homework. I guess I hadn't been  listening to him, as usual, on  Thursday, or whenever he told me, but I  wound up without computer for at least  6 hours before, now, I could finally  get on. But even this is going to be  short because I have to write the  script for a short film by myself. I  guess my group and I didn't think to  exchange numbers, so now I have to be  the one that thinks up an ending for  this SHORT FILM. I can't write short  things. x_x When I was supposed to  write a short-ish story in grade  school, at least 1-2 pages I think, I  wrote 10. Then I gave up and tossed it  O_O Man was I stupid. I mean, I still  have it /somewhere/, I got the credit  for it, but I "tossed" it. -.- Oh well.<br />
Now, I'm allowed on "for a while, but  not TOO long..." and I'm feeling all  depressed after reading Kodocha for  about 15 minutes before I got on. o_O  My mind is saying, "What the hell?" I  guess certain manga just put me in that  mood...Like last night, before I went  to sleep, I read Confidential  Confessions Vol. 1, which I FINALLY got  yesterday after having owned 2-5 for a  few weeks. I cried. ;-;<br />
Something that's funny about me: I do  NOT cry. It doesn't matter how sad the  movie is, or the book. When people in  the theatre around me are sniffling and  blowing noses, I'm sitting there  thinking, "...Are they done yet?"  *SNIFF* "...Oh /gawd/, there goes  another one..." *Someone in the movie  dies* "..." *Mom sniffs loudly or blows  her nose* "Shh. Cut that out, big  baby." "Morgan, you're so awful!  -Laughs.-" "...? You're the one crying!  Shush, I'm trying to enjoy the movie!"  I'm serious. I DO NOT cry. The only  reason Titanic made me cry when I was  younger was because I kept picturing  the women, men, and children, as me and  my "mommy and daddy". Now I bet the  most emotion I would show would be,  "Aww...! That little kids crying...!  Whoohoo! Another one overboard!  -Snickers.-" But you give me a good  Anime, whether it's a series or a  movie, and one of the characters dies,  or there is an emotional scene,  kissing, crying, dying, and whatnot, I  will bawl my eyes out if I like the  series. I'm just weird that way...By  the way, I highly recommend  Confidential Confessions. It really  doesn't matter what order you read them  in, as I found out and to my immense  relief, because there are no *main*  characters. I mean, there are, but it  isn't a SERIES, like Trigun, or  Inuyasha, where it's best if you know  what the hell's going on or you WILL BE  confused--.Hack//Sign is actually the  perfect example of a series like that.  o_o Confidential Confessions, for those  of you who have never heard of it (Yay,  I DO have an audience!...In my own mind  o_O), is a manga series about real life  issues. It covers things like suicide,  bullying, rape, and prostitution...even  compensated dating and corporal  punishment. I found it to be an amazing  and very real series, and SO many  things hit me dead on. I won't say  what, but one of the stories in one of  the books was almost exactly what  happened to me...Well, that sounds  wrong, especially after saying that one  story is about a girl who was raped.  -Nervous laugh.- In Volume 4, the story  about bullying is what I'm talking  about. That is exactly wat happened to  me, but with one unfortunate  difference: In the story, Tamaki Luka,  a junior high student, is picked on by  a group of girls in her class. These  3...or 4, can't remember...girls pick  on her, while the class pretty much  just stands there and watches, not  helping the bullies, but not trying to  step in and help Luka, either. Even her  best friend stood back and could do  nothing but watch. The similarities are  that I was picked on, and the /girl/  picking on me did practically the exact  same things she did to Luka, and no one  stepped in to help me, not even my  friends. The differences? The rest of  the class didn't help me either, but  they /did/ help the bully(-ies), save  my two friends of course. That volume  especially hit me and tugged at my  heartstrings because of that story, so  I'm sure that everyone (girls, really,  since this is a Shoujo) can relate to  at least one story in the "series" like  I did, at least to some degree.<br />
I'm done rambling now! Please, do the  author, and even myself a favor and  pick up a copy of Confidential  Confessions sometime. You might not be  interested enough to buy one from my  description of it, but try borrowing it  from a friend or the library near you  sometime, or flip through them in the  stores if you can. I fell in love with  the series, and I hope you can too!<br />
Yay for journ... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ No one is online, and those who are are  busy. I have written three journals in  one day--kinda--and I am beginning to  think that I'm forgetful or just  indecisive...or something else that  "applies" to writing so many things in  one day, often about different  subjects. I guess, even though this is  my first day, I will just talk about  what I am thinking. Fun!<br />
It's funny. As I'm typing, I'm thinking  that I sound like I'm speaking to an  audience, meaning I feel like I'm  speaking to whomever is reading this.  Am I supposed to do that? o_O I don't  care. I tend to do that a lot even in  my /other/ journals.<br />
I am supposed to be grounded today for  not wearing my retainer, and since my  parents are on this "five demerit"  system thing when it comes to my  punishment and grounding, it only makes  sense. There are a lot of people that  are always asking me "What is this  'five demerit system' you're talking  about?" and even though I really don't  care that people don't know, and I like  making people confused, I do not want  to have to explain myself twenty-nine  times before I am finally left alone  and no one asks me. I'm done ranting so  I'll explain--Even though I can rant  all I want in my own damn journal.<br />
"The Five Demerit System" is where my  parents give me a "demerit" for each  thing I do "bad". For example, if one  of my parents sees that I am not  wearing my retainer after they have  told me to do so at least four times in  one morning *COUGH* I get one  "demerit". Demerits are like strikes in  a baseball game, but I get five rather  than three before one "out" or  grounding in the case of the demerits.  What I actually love about the demerit  system is that when I end up grounded,  I am only grounded for one day for  every five demerits. That's right! I  can do five "bad things" and I am only  grounded for ONE DAY. The bad thing  about it? It was suggested by my  EX-shrink. -.-<br />
You will soon learn that I hate shrinks  like some people hate clowns, or have a  phobia of them rather.<br />
<br />
Something else I hate: My friend and I  were talking on the phone. My cell  phone disconnects me and I curse the  piece of shit some before I try calling  him back. It rings once and goes to the  machine, leaving me to think that he is  still on the phone since he must not  have realized that I was disconnected  yet--which happens a lot by the way--so  I will wait a moment. I try again, and  get the five-seven rings, but still no  answer. I wait a few minutes, then try  again, but it's the same. After a few  more tries, I give up, knowing that I  should be getting to bed and should let  him do the same.<br />
It is now one week later (At the time,  anyway), and I still have not been able  to reach him. I'm very worried, but my  friend Kayla assures me that he must  have just gone on vacation, or maybe  something happened, but she was sure  nothing HORRIBLE. I had my doubts,  because it had been SO sudden.<br />
Fast forward to about two to three  weeks after hearing NOTHING from him.  What do I find out? My friend knew all  along that he had MOVED.<br />
EXCUSE ME?<br />
My conclusion drawn from that  experience was this: NO ONE TELLS  MORGAN ANYTHING! *Pathetic whimpering*  ;_; ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just saw Constantine, and DAMN was it  good! If you haven't seen it and are  not extremely religious, then go see  it! It's rated R for Violence and  Demonic Images, so take a parent or  smuggle yourself in. o_O Whatever  works. When I saw the words "Demonic  Images" I thought "YES! THIS IS  /EXACTLY/ THE MOVIE FOR ME!" This being  said, my dad was pestered into taking  me, but not after making me spend an  entire three-day weekend catching up  with my classes. I hate make up work,  but I guess that's what happens  when...Wait, I almost forgot. For those  of you--my friends in particular--who  didn't know, when I was complaining of  a stomach ache about a week ago (the  week of Valentine's Day >&gt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />, it was no  regular "*Whine* Mooooooom...! My  stomach huuuuuuurts...!!" I mean, it  was at first, but...I would have been  in school if I hadn't had to go to the  Emergency Room on Wednesday night. I  waited for two hours in the waiting  room before it went away, so I was in  pain and  almost-couldn't-breathe-on-and-off mode  for about three to four hours straight,  and then forty minutes before they come  out, it stopped. It started up again  about five minutes later, but twenty  minutes before I got to finally go in,  the pain stopped almost completely and  felt like "nothing more" than an  anxiety attack. Go figure. During the  time of the pain though I managed to  say to my mom--probably giving her some  comfort that I wasn't going to keel  over and die--that "If it hurts any  worse than this to have a child...screw  that, I will NOT reproduce." <br />
And thus ends my wonderful...No, wait,  I lied. I still have to tell you  about...Oops, I've shared enough about  Constantine already <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Well...Oh! I'll  tell you all about how weird I am!  (Aren't we all? I mean, I don't believe  in "Normal"...but anyway..) I had a  really ominous feeling tonight after we  left the movie theatres. We were  sitting in the van--Whoo! Soccer Dad! I  mean...Mom--in order to take my friends  home, and I just had a really weird  feeling that SOMETHING bad was going to  happen. At first I thought I was being  dramatic after seeing a movie about  people that could see things and so I  brushed it off. But it got worse, so  once we pulled up to my first friend's  house to drop her off, I got out and  just whispered to her, "Be careful. I  don't know what it is, but just be  careful. I have a bad feeling..." She  looked at me strangely, not like she  thought I was crazy, but like she  thought what I had been thinking, that  maybe I was being dramatic. I got back  in the car, and after a while realized  that I felt much more relieved somehow,  and knew that it was her that I had  sensed might be in for some sort of  trouble. I soon forgot, and totally had  forgotten by the time I got home. I sat  down to read and ignored the phone as  it rang a few minutes later. But I  groaned to myself as I heard my mom  outside asking "...Is this for Morgan?  Oh, hey! Ok, here she is..." as she  then opened the door and handed me the  phone. I found a stopping place in my  book rather leasurely, thinking it was  my friend Kayla calling about  /something/ again. It was my friend who  I had first dropped off, and the first  thing out of her mouth was: "You were  right." Of course I had no idea what  she was talking about, but then I  remembered and asked in my usual  spastic way, "OMYGAWD WHAT HAPPENED?!"  She had lost her phone. NOT what I was  expecting, but something /had/  happened. Go me! ^^<br />
Thank you for reading my wonderful  story, even if you don't believe it!  -Bows and scuttles away to read her new  manga...- ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok, like DUDE.<br />
...I'm done. I'm new to DA, but I've  been hoping to be able to join for a  long time. I may not be good at  drawing, and I get grounded for not  wearing my retainer at least once a  week, but I hope to dedicated, at least  as much as High School will allow... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />

Another moment at Kelly's...<br />
Kelly: You look like you're feeling  yourself up!! -Laughing her ass off.-<br />
Morgan: ;-;!!! SHUT UP! It's your  fault! You just HAD to stuff popcorn  down my pants! Now it's in my ass!!<br />
Kelly: -Falls over and almost dies  laughing.- That sounds so wrong<br />
Morgan: THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS!!<br />
<br />
And another...<br />
Morgan: Hey...it deflated!<br />
Kelly: Like a fart?<br />
Morgan: Faster than a fart! *Whine*<br />
Kelly: -Laughs her ass off.- I did NOT  expect you to say that!<br />
Morgan: Neither did I.. o.o<br />
<br />
And ANOTHER...<br />
Kelly: -Laughs, then begins to "choke  and die".-<br />
Morgan: Listen, Kelly. Die all you  want, but don't do it on my book. You  do and I'll kill you.<br />
Kelly: -Laughs harder now.- No you  wouldn't!-<br />
Morgan: ...I have my ways. I would. >3<br />
Kelly: o.o You're going to rape me,  aren't you? -Laughing again.-<br />
Morgan: Yes, Kelly. -Dead serious  voice.-<br />
... *Dead silence*<br />
<br />
Yay! My first journal! Not what I  expected, but-eep. o.o That wasn't  me... >> My hair just fell off my  shoulder and scared the crap out of me,  that's all...Anyway. Not what I  expected considering more recent  events, but I'm satisfied. Hope I don't  disappoint... ^_^;;; -Nervous twitch.- ]]></description>
