                <description><![CDATA[ So far, since I last posted in my journal, I have been studying my Japanese lessons near-non-stop! About every other day (including weekends) I pour my attention over the pages of the book, copying not only the answers to the questions, but the questions themselves so that I can follow up with them later on, even if I don't have the book anymore.<br /><br />It is fun, but a bit harrowing in the tedious nature of the task. Let's pray that I will be more confident when speaking Japanese to people after this, so that my hard work would have paid off in the end. (Reason I'm saying this is, I have a severe phobia against speaking Japanese with native people, just because I don't want to seem like an idiot, and so everything I say pretty much comes out in English...yeah, sad, I know.)<br /><br />Pray for me guys. ^.^-<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay guys, I am auditioning people to work with me in an artbook project which hopefully will have a dark theme, with vampires, hunters, dark angels, and so on...so expect some preview images of the covers as well as some art pieces coming soon, because I am already working on my first entries in the project!<br /><br />So far the people who I want to work with me in this are:<br /><br /><a href="http://wyndstar.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/w/y/wyndstar.gif" alt=":iconwyndstar:" title="wyndstar"/></a> <a href="http://no-reason-at-all.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/o/no-reason-at-all.gif" alt=":iconno-reason-at-all:" title="no-reason-at-all"/></a><br /><br /><br />Hopefuls include:<br /><br /><a href="http://busted-pc.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/u/busted-pc.gif" alt=":iconbusted-pc:" title="busted-pc"/></a> <a href="http://chuinny.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/chuinny.png?2" alt=":iconchuinny:" title="chuinny"/></a> <a href="http://maguxmagu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/a/maguxmagu.png?1" alt=":iconmaguxmagu:" title="maguxmagu"/></a> <a href="http://damblock.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/damblock.png?1" alt=":icondamblock:" title="damblock"/></a><br /><br />Anyone interested should send me at least 3 samples of your works in a note for my review. Also, if you are interested in checking out the publishing site that I will hopefully be using for the project's publication, then here is the link: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.createspace.com/">[link]</a><br /><br />And here is the link to my forum thread:<br /><br /><a href="http://forum.deviantart.com/community/projects/1266925/">[link]</a><br /><br />By the way, I have been thinking that I want at least 4 other people working with me on this, so here is a list of the people helping me out. Keep sending those samples!<br /><br />1.<a href="http://no-reason-at-all.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/o/no-reason-at-all.gif" alt=":iconno-reason-at-all:" title="no-reason-at-all"/></a> (Art for the covers)<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

It is based as a love story mainly between him and a character that I created specially for the tale.<br /><br />I have already finished the first three chapters, and right now I am just starting on the fourth chapter, which is sure to please!

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, I'm not registered to vote and I don't really plan on registering any time soon...so I have an unbiased opinion on the matter, since I am not assigned to any type of political party.<br /><br />However, I have read both websites for the candidates and to tell the truth, I am a bit disturbed at what I see...like with Barack Obama's constant want to increase the national debt millions at a time while McCain is determined more to assist the citizens of our country in a time of recession.<br /><br />Obama wants to increase funding towards supplies, training, weaponry, and so on for troops fighting in Iraq. Plus, more training for teachers and support for employers and higher-quality schooling. ALSO he has the desire to give a yearly repay or rebate of $500 to $1000 to families and people in order to RELIEVE THE STRESS OF PAYING BILLS. That's all well and good, but to tell the truth, I don't know how supportive I can be with that if he wants to spend millions of dollars that WE DON'T HAVE in order to do this. He wants nothing more than to compete with the other countries who are more advanced than we are in these areas, with no concern for the growing national debt of over $9,377,557,217,133. (Yes, I did look it up)<br /><br />However, McCain seems to be just the opposite. He is more concerned with the people than monetary values. (Which I give him kudos for, though I'm not sure I like how great it will be on our wallets)<br /><br /><br />So who are you voting for and why? Because I keep asking people and they cannot give me any concrete facts on the matter...like if I ask someone why they are voting Obama, they take a long pause and either don't give me an actual answer or they attack McCain with the cliche insult about how he is old; also, it seems that they also do nothing but spout off word-for-word the slanderous commercials airing every hour of every day on television. Disturbing, ne?<br /><br />But like I said, I am not a Patriot and not registered to vote, so this is coming from a non-party bias. Neutrality rocks...especially since I believe my vote will not do anything at all for me in the long run.<br /><br />I mean, it is Congress that controls everything, and usually the candidates' ideas go to squat anyway.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have an idea for an artbook which might start me up again in drawing and art in general. The idea for its theme is my own poetry, where I will post a poem with its companion drawing.<br /><br />What I need to know though, is which poem to start off the book with...My headliner, I guess you could call it. Could you help me? I will post the three favorites of mine, and you guys can comment or message me with what you think I should use. Thanks for your help!<br /><br />Poems to choose:<br /><br />1. <a href="http://angelix88.deviantart.com/art/quot-My-Midnight-Rose-quot-44500864">[link]</a><br /><br />2. <a href="http://angelix88.deviantart.com/art/quot-My-Personal-Hell-quot-44357314">[link]</a><br /><br />3. <a href="http://angelix88.deviantart.com/art/Conformity-55020938">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

But here's the catch, I want some of your art in return. <br /><br />I really love Death Note and Black Jack, as well as Fruits Basket; however, if you don't know any of those animes, then I would LOVE some vampy art. In return, all you have to do is tell me what kind of art you want from me, 'kay?<br /><br />Just send me a note or comment on here. ^^<br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------------[Completed]----<br /><br />(Be the first to join in my art trade? <3 )<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello. I have been noticing that in the past few years, more and more people - including celebrities and musical artists and so on - are coming out as homosexuals....and this has caused society to be riled up and speak against it, pretty much putting down the people for their choice.<br />
<br />
Now, let me say that there are two groups that could be against homosexuality : homophobic people (who just put down the people and their choice) and people like me who do have friends or speak to homosexuals and still do not like the lifestyle.<br />
<br />
I AM NOT A HOMOPHOBE.<br />
<br />
So many people think that just because I do not like the homosexual lifestyle, I hate gay people or despise them and that I am self-righteous...well I want to say how I feel about all this to perhaps enlighten you about my true thoughts.<br />
<br />
I am a Christian, and as a Christian...as well as as a person...I believe that homosexuality is a sin and that no one is born gay. God made you what you are for a reason and it is a choice that is made with freewill to go with the same sex. <br />
<br />
Just because homosexuality is a sin, however, I still have friends who are gay that I love dearly for their personalities and their feelings and thoughts about things; they are great friends. And I am not cutting a piece of them out...homosexuality is a lifestyle, but does not totally define a person.<br />
<br />
"Love the sinner, not the sin."<br />
<br />
That is one of the mottos that I live by...and I am proud of that motto.<br />
<br />
It's not right to despise someone just because of a choice they make. I wouldn't be able to stand being around homophobes if they couldn't accept people and just judge them because of their lifestyles.<br />
<br />
So now I hope you understand how I feel about all this; sorry if my thoughts might be scattered or a bit confusing. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I really just wanted to get this journal entry written because I was feeling strongly about this stuff for awhile.<br />
<br />
And I also pray to God that this does not offend anyone, because that was not my goal.<br />
<br />
((and please ignore the mood thing. I am not miserable...the thing was just not working so I could not change it))<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ You know one thing in life that really sucks? Bottling up my rage...I mean, most of the time, I can't do anything but bottle it inside my heart because much of the arguments and fights and things happen and I cannot win.<br />
<br />
This entry is simply to ease my mind and calm me down, so I will say my piece and then be done. Lately I have been getting pissed off a lot due to comments and accusations from friends, as well as the fact that my mother keeps trying to get me babysitting jobs and giving me bogus excuses for not helping me get a job at a store or something. So , I keep the anger inside until someone else pisses me off to a certain point; then the dam on my feeling breaks and I let it all out on that person...which may be why some people despise and ignore me....<br />
<br />
But can you blame me? I have a stressful life, and I am sure that other people have been justifiably angry before. So can't people understand that I can't help but scream now and then and get it out of my system? Because if you keep anger or any negative emotion bottled up inside yourself, it's bound to cause you serious problems in the long run...<br />
<br />
I hate getting angry at people, and I apologize most of the time for my actions...but it seems to be happening more and more. It truly sucks...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Has anyone ever randomly made sushi at midnight? Well I can now claim that I got the random urge!<br />
<br />
Actually, I had promised to make sushi for my mom's lunch and forgot (after I had made sushi for dinner, which was awesome) so I made it up to her and made some tonight; however, I just hope that she will actually remember to take the pack with her, as well as the soysauce. But if she doesn't that just means that I have a lot of sushi I can enjoy for lunch (with a nice diet pepsi, w00t).<br />
<br />
Other things that I have found that I can cook are tempura and sweet dumplings. First, let me describe my experience with tempura. I had first cooked chicken tempura, and that came off as a huge success (especially the second time I made it!) and I go the oil burns on my arm to prove it. After I finished cooking the meat in the oil the first time I made the tempura, my mother went into the kitchen and took a bite, then grabbed a plate and put a nice sized handful on it. I was glad that she really liked it, and I loved it (chicken tempura is better with either Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing in my opinion).<br />
<br />
Then I moved on to vegetables and got a nice array of them from Food Lion to cook: sweet potatoes, white potatoes, green onions, carrots, cucumbers. When I cooked the sliced veggies, I thought that they were done all the way through, but when I ate the potatoes, I discovered that I was severely mistaken. They were hard and just totally uncooked, which truly sucked.<br />
<br />
I then found I could make sweet dumplings with rice flour and a sauce made of soy sauce and sugar and water, as well as cornstarch. It's certainly an interesting thing to eat, and the dumplings are totally chewy (which is awesome xD). And to tell the truth I never knew that soy sauce could help make such a sweet sauce as it does for the sweet dumplings.<br />
<br />
Well, I suppose that is it for the description of my culinary escapades. I hope you enjoyed me talking about random things I made. See ya! <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have a question for you all...which phrase do you prefer? 'Merry Christmas' or 'Merry X-mas'?<br />
<br />
You say, 'they both are the same', right?<br />
<br />
WRONG!<br />
<br />
I have to admit that the rise in the use of 'X-mas' is really disturbing to me. I mean, can't some holidays and some things in general stay holy in this overly secular world? Or do we have to take the true meaning of Christmas out to replace it with the new god and media icon which helps people sell their crap in stores (a.k.a. Santa)?<br />
<br />
It just seems so insulting...Christ was the original reason for Christmas and thus he should be in the name, as it has always been. However, we are a country that does not want to offend anyone, so we take him out of the name; and if you tell me that it was never really about Christ and that it started as a secular holiday in the beginning, I will just shake my head and call you a fool.<br />
<br />
Yes, some of the traditions in Christmas are secular, however it was created by the church to celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ...and the church compromised with the pagans on the date and rituals to get them into the religion and faith.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I just wish that people could be able to see what Christmas is really about and what it means to me and probably many other Christians that so many are losing the faith during the holiday.<br />
<br />
That's my rant for this Christmas season.....I hope that whoever reads this will get the serious message that the rant entails.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay! Yesterday I was at Sam's Club with my dad. While he and his wife were looking at electronics and trying to find an internet card for dad's laptop, I broke away from them and went to the book section. (I wasn't expecting to find anything, since Sam's doesn't have a very big selection of really good books) However, when I went around the second time looking at them, I found one book that caught my interest. It was the collected works of Charlotte and Emily Bronte, and on the side of the huge book, I found (amongst the four other books) <u>Wuthering Heights</u>. It was one of my favorite books in AP English 12 yesterday and I had found it at a store I went to all the time! You wouldn't believe how happy I was. I contemplated whether I should pick it up and buy it, and I shrugged and grabbed it, going back. My dad ended up paying for it. (I guess he saw my face when I realized I had to have a membership card to buy anything so he told me to throw it up with the rest of the groceries. How nice!) It wasn't that big a deal because for those five books in that one volume, it only cost $12.95.<br />
<br />
It is so wonderful, now I can read about Heathcliff and all the others again. Plus I have four other books to look forward to as well.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I need to get out of this house.<br /><br />I am not employed yet, there is nothing to do outside, since even if I am 18, I cannot walk out of my circle and go to the store or anything, because my mother says that someone would be hiding behind a tree or something and would attack me.<br />
<br />
One thing is I wish my sister would stop being so selfish and would return my car like my mother told her to; two weeks ago, her car messed up and she borrowed my car...now, she keeps conveniently forgetting to give my dad her keys so that he can fix the car. If you ask me, she is just trying to keep my car to herself since she can have what she wants...no matter how it affects others. And I need my car back so that I can practice driving and everything, and she drives my frickin car everywhere.<br />
<br />
And on top of that, I am stuck in my house with nothing to do but watch television all day and read and draw and sing; I love to do all of that stuff, but to tell the truth, I am getting sick of it. I want out! I want a job! Something to do!<br />
<br />
This morning I awoke at 9:00 and turned on the TV, fed my cat, got some grits for breakfast, and went upstairs, hanging out and listening to Carlos Mencia. Other than that, nothing else happened, except for the fact that I was talking online to a few people about stuff....that's my day. I'm tired of doing nothing...maybe I should get my mom to just teach me to sew on my sewing machine so I can at least make something other than images on paper.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, and as a small update, I messed up the name of my comic. It's really called "Rules for the High School Misfit"<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A new comic idea.<br /><br />Well, last night I was sitting at the computer, just watching television, when it hit me: why don't I draw up a comic that gives out advice and rules for the misfits, the people who don't belong in any group but their own? I mean, I thought it would be brilliant you know?<br />
<br />
Mainly, the manga will be focussed around a small group of people, including a version of me; trust me, I was a misfit at school and never fit in. Plus, most of the rules I will come up with are rules that I made myself over the four years I was in high school.<br />
<br />
I already finished the first page of it, but I have to edit the second page before I can continue; I can't just throw that page out because i don't have much manga paper to begin with and I can't find it in any normal stores. ^.^;<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, here is an example of the first chapter of the comic:<br />
<br />
"Rule #1: Introductions"<br />
<br />
"When you first enter high school, somehow the first people you go to are either popular kids or cheerleaders. It is like a magnet that pulls you to them with the force that can knock trees down. Well, when you start talking, first poke their shoulder. Then, when they make a rude comment and turn away again, shift your feet and kick them in the shin, and say 'Hello. My name is-...' They will look at you, acknowledge your presence, then move away. That is the best way to introduce yourself to those kind of people.."<br /><br />More updates on the manga later. Thanks for reading this buddies. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Two job opportunities, much stress and nervousness, money...<br />
<br />
Jeez, when it comes to looking into these jobs, what the crap am I getting into?!<br /><br />Okay, I am 18 years old, and I am not working right now, so I have been trying to get a nanny job right? Well, a week and a half ago, I called a family about a nanny job for a 17-month old child who needs tube-feeding, and after calling them about three times, the mother of the child called today, and asked me questions. On top of having a sore throat, I was getting nervous and trying not to stumble on my words so that I didn't ruin my on-the-phone interview. Man, I have wanted this job since I heard about it more than a week ago...<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, and the thing about tube-feeding. I have seriously never seen how a baby was tube-fed, so when she mentioned it I was honest and told her that. So I'm just wondering...is it easy to learn how to tubefeed? Or is it difficult? Because my mother told me that it was not too difficult a thing to learn.<br />
<br />
With that job opportunity, there is another one that I heard about from my mother, where I would have to babysit a seven month old baby boy for five days out of the week, and I would get paid...I don't know what to do. <br />
<br />
I'm not used to doing interviews in general, so when I spoke to these two mothers, there was this dread that I was feeling that I was ruining my chances with these jobs, and it scared me a bit; however, I also felt a bit of relief since I got the phone calls over with, especially when a week and a half ago, I would have never been able to call for that kind of thing on my own. I had to really push myself.<br />
<br />
I hope I get at least one of these two jobs, because if I don't, then I will probably have to look into working at a fast food restaurant or something, and I really don't want to do that.<br /><br />*sigh* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The Kingdom Hearts 2 theme in art, sheltered people, and the lack of originality and imagination in a lot of people...<br /><br />First of all, do not get mad at me for this entry, but I have to let it all out or I will explode. I have been quiet about this crap for waaay too long and I need to speak out. So if you don't like it, you can complain all you want but I will still speak my mind whether you like it or not.<br />
<br />
Well, I have to start off by saying that I am getting sick of all of the Kingdom Hearts 2-themed art pieces that are being circulated into DeviantART. Is anyone else sick of it too? I mean come on, it was cute when the game first came out and everyone loved it, but now it is just overdone and pathetic. Find another game to do art for your darn artists, instead of doing the same stuff over and over and over! Have you no originality??<br />
<br />
Which leads into my next rant, which is about the lack of originality and imagination in this generation of artists. Everywhere I look on this site, I see either something created from an anime, or show, or movie, or I see stuff that is copied over and over, in different styles and techniques but with the same thing. It sort of pisses me off, and makes me sad at the same time since many people are not getting any food for their brains by watching stuff and letting it influence everything they do, say, write, or draw. I mean, it's like we are all losing our ability to think for ourselves, and it makes me sad.<br />
<br />
Alright, now for my rant about sheltered people; when it comes to this topic, I have to say that it ruins people when they are sheltered. First of all, they do not know how to handle stress or problems and are too ignorant when it comes to making friends and being in social environments. I remembered I babysat a couple of sheltered kids and some of the stuff that they did really creeped me out. Also, when I am at school or somethign and am told off by someone who cannot take what I have to say because they never had to deal with the issues, sometimes I feel like I should either punch them in the face, yell, or pity them...because in the end if you don't use violence, pity is the only thing you can show the person; because being sheltered is not a good way to be raised in my opinion.<br /><br />Well, that's about all for my rant people. Comment if you like, but I am not changing my opinions. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hehe, desperation and boredom abound...I need comments and print sales....<br /><br />Okay, I know I am sounding desperate, but that is because I am. I really want comments on my art, but it seems that they are becoming rarer and rarer....I mean, it is nice to hear what people think and feel about things that I do for art, you know?<br />
<br />
It makes it a bit better now though, because I am not so bored. I am going to finally go home after housesitting for my dad for a week and not leaving the house at all. It was depressing what an apathetic lunatic I was becoming. lol<br />
<br />
Well, more later.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Stuck in my house, my computer broken, and my prints not selling<br /><br />Okay, I have been stuck in my house for about a week and a half to two weeks, which has made me a bit stir-crazy; however, I admit that some part of my sanity has been kept with drawing every day and playing video games...but I just want to go out and do stuff at the store or watch a movie at the theater or something...too bad my mom is gonna have to rest for 5 more weeks after her major surgery.<br />
<br />
Now, my computer has been dead for about 3-4 days, and my dad is fixing it for me so that I don't have to use my mom's computer (which is really annoying since I can't do much on it). xP I just hope that I can still put files like music and movies and stuff on my fixed computer...because without a bunch of ram there is only soo much you can do. -.-<br />
<br />
The last thing I have to put into my journal is the sadness that I am having from my prints not selling at all. It's amazing how impatient I am but it would be such a morale booster for them to sell...especially the Chibis I have in there. I know that I shouldn't expect people to just buy them right away, and that normally people don't sell anything for about a year before it can pick up, but just sitting here seeing those prints is really depressing to me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today is the last day that I am housesitting at my dad's house, and I am having mixed feelings about it all. I am happy that it is over and everything, and I don't have to watch over my dad's fish pond or my dad's wife's garden and flower pots, but I am also sad that I will not have any privacy anymore...*le sigh*<br />
<br />
Welp! Anyway, this week I learned how much three dogs can snore and how it can get really annoying, really fast. They all slept in my room for a couple of nights, and when my sister came home at 3 AM on Monday morning, they let me know it through a chorus of ear-splitting barks that could wake the dead.<br />
<br />
I remedied the situation with the dogs, by putting the golden retriever named Abby into my step-brother's bedroom since he had left for Georgia for the week. It has been....well, almost...quiet ever since. ^.^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ You know, today I was sitting there watching Cartoon Network and working on my manga ideas, when I thought about how we are all subject to a disease that is ravaging our country today: our obsession with the computer and the internet...yes, I admit, I have succumbed to this disease many times, but there is a solution to get rid of the obsession...go and read a book, draw, or go outside and bug your neighbors. Hehe.<br />
<br />
I know that it sounds harsh, but it is true...trust me, we all need that reminder that we have a life other than our chatrooms and internet sites sometime in our lives. So will you take the reminder to heart? Or will you give in to the disease again and again, only to become a computer junky? Your decision...<br />
