Wow, I need to start updating, I've been posting all my shit to Live Journal lately. XD

ANYWAYS! Here's the list of what I got ~

FUCKING BAMBOO TABLET! FFFFFFFFFFFF
Marianas Trench "Masterpiece Theatre"
Three shirts, two are hilarious. XD
New wallet (YESSSS Bigger change pocket and a chain ~ )
Fuzzy socks
Jeff Dunham's Christmas Special DVD

I'm soooooooo happy. X3

Oh, and my SoulSilver import came in a day early ~

BE JEALOUS, ~PeeKayDee!!!

Bad news: I'm totally abandoning it for good.

Good news: ~Hanakurai-San will continue it FOR me! I told her my plot ideas so she'll take it over in her own style.

I'd like to apologize for abandoning it in the first place. I feel like I let you guys down but I'm hoping ~Hanakurai-San will do a better job that me!

So, what's been happening...

Well lately I've been playing my new HeartGold ROM! I just couldn't wait any longer and the graphics are STUNNING! Kee, I love it!

I think I've warmed up to Silver's new look but I'm still iffy about the fact that they need more original hair style ideas. Now people are coming up with conspiracy theories that he and Mars are somehow related or something. PEOPLE EVEN PAIR THEM OH GOD.

Apart from that, I made an interesting discovery about myself. o3o

So I guess, not only do I have a sixth sense for spirits and all that jazz, it affects things like my interests and junk. Weird, huh? To be specific, it has to do a lot with what pairings I support. I don't just randomly pick up a series and say "I'm gonna ship these two" it's more like that part of my mind is screaming at me "SHIP THEM, DO IT NOW".

But at the same time I can get total opposite reactions from pairings that I don't like. This time my mind screams "OH GOD KILL IT" and seeing artwork or possible canon potential can actually make me feel sick. O_o

One example is Lavi/Lenalee. I honestly cannot stand that pairing and I need to look away immediately at any art I might come across cuz who knows what I'll feel? Honestly, I could either just plain get mad for the amount of time it stays attached to my retinas or something more severe like the formerly mentioned sickness, etc.

Believe me if you'd like, just putting it out there cuz I find it interesting that I can do this. However at the same time it's a huge pain in the ass when looking for fan art on places like safebooru where one page could have all one pairing and a few others sprinkled in there or just art in general. XD

Well, that's all I've got for now. Until next time, take care ~

Tonights the night I get to wear my Silver costume paired with my Golden sweetie. X3

Since we'll have time before trick or treating (and a few people have requested it), we're taking fanservice requests ~ Anything goes, just no nudes. But, of course, it'll also depend weather we're in the mood or not. If not, the harder stuff may have to wait but we'll try our best to get it for you ~

Have a great night everyone!

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain
Why the early bird gets the worm
Life isn’t always fair,

and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

He declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home without the burglar suing you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers: I Know My Rights; I Want It Now; Someone Else Is To Blame; and I’m A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

I can understand how people can be hesitant about bringing up certain topics, but really, hiding it then just letting them build into something bigger? That's just stupid.

I don't bite, seriously. I mean, if you've got a problem with me just come out and say it! Of course it'd be pretty rude to just out of nowhere say it, I prefer when people approach me, take me aside and say they need to talk about something. That's the polite way of doing things. 9/10 times I'll listen to what you have to say. Of the other 10% I', really not in the mood for talking and it'll be obvious when I'm in a bad mood and really don't need more stress.

I don't even know WHY I have to explain this, but some people really can't grasp this concept very well. I thought most problems were meant to be dealt with upfront before they got worse. At least that's the more logical way of approaching them, or am I mistaken?

So, please, for the love of whatever heavenly being you worship, tell me when I'm doing something wrong upfront! I'm stupid, I totally can't tell weather I'm hurting someone or not until someone tells me and usually it's after things have manifested into becoming out-of control. I'm not perfect, no one can ever claim to be without lying. I don't want to lose you guys.

That's all I got... Take care, friends. I love you all.

OH WELL

I officially hate coloring long wigs, there are TOO MANY CREVICES.

But noooooo, of COURSE they wouldn't have any red wigs that I could use. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I'm done. :3

Jess has to work and it'd feel wrong to just go without her so I'll stay home and work on my costumes for Halloween and her birthday party.

I'm sorry everyone who wanted to see me there. D: I'd totally go had stuff not come up along with Jess not going. Please don't send hate mail. D:

But on a lighter note, my doujinshi I ordered off a very lovely person on Live Journal came in. Mmmm, they're nummy. :3

Another light note! I'm starting on my Silver Cosplay! The wig Igot was too thin so I'm gluing two together. Hooray for glue! Ssh, don't tell anyone that I'm cheating. *eye shift* This will most likely be for Jess's birthday. I'll be so happy if people recognize us! XD

For Halloween I'll debut Cross Marian if I get off my lazy ass and make his mask and Judgement. XD

That's about all I've got for now. See ya!

Hey flist! Been a while, hey? Well, this week has been pretty boss. Yesterday was my girlfriend and my 2 year anniversary! She got me this expensive perfume. D: I love it but I wish she wouldn't spend so much on me!

I made her a Lavi plushie since I was pretty bummed that I couldn't get her on at Animethon. All they had Lavi wise was a key chain an a few posters.

The crappy part is that I won't be able to spend quality time with her until Bellerose seeing as October is a busy month for me. Maybe if I can get all my costumes done before the con and my Monty Python marathon with a couple friends we can get together. We'll have to see.

Speaking of costumes, I finished my gf's second gen Allen! I'm increadibly proud of the job I did, it looked so good in my opinion and anyone else who I showed on web cam! Her Crowned Clown is about 97% complete. All she needs is the bracelet and to smooth out the paper maché on the claws. I can't wait to see it!

My Cross Marian is nearing completion as well. She's gonna style my wig while I make my mask. She's also helping with another wig for a future cosplay, though we might not do it until April unless we plan a few photoshoots. Her and I are planning on being Gold and Silver from Pokemon Special. If you don't know what that is, search "Precious Metal Shipping" wherever you find your boy love.

That's about all for now. See you, flist. :3

2. Sasuke/Naruto (Naruto)
3. Tyki/Lavi (D.Gray-man)
4. Kidd/Black Star (Soul Eater)
5. Cross/Allen (D.Gray-man)
6. Haine/Badou (DOGS)

Three ships you liked, but don’t like anymore / lost the urge to ship
7. Naruto/Hinata (Naruto)
8. Kratos/Lloyd (Tales of Symphonia)
9. dunno D:

Four ships you never liked
10. Sasuke/Sakura (Naruto)
11. Lavi/Lenalee (D.Gray-man)
12. Josh/Neku (The World Ends With You)
13. Lenalee/anyone

Two ships you’re actually curious about, but never shipped
14. Kanda/Lenalee (D.Gray-man)
15. Krory/Miranda (D.Gray-man)

Why do you dislike #11 so much?
I'll try to say it without pairing bashing... It's just... DX Makes no sence, really. Yeah, okay, she clung to him a few times in battle but since when does that mean they have a connection?

Who is someone you know that ships #14?
Erm, no idea. Never went looking for it.

What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
Ark sex. *3*

Which is your favorite moment for #1?
Oh, there's so many ~ Probably Allen hugging Lavi on the Ark. X3

How long have you been following couple #6?
Maybe a couple months? XD

What’s the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring?
I found out (spoiler warning) Kratos was Lloyd's dad. DD:

I like Lloyd with Genis now. X3

You have the power to make one ship nonexistent. Choose between #10 or #12.
12

Which ship do you prefer: #2 or #4?
UUUHHHH.... Well I've been with SasuNaru from the beginning and have yet to cosplay Black Star and Kidd so, for now, #2.

What interests you about #15?
Well, for being het, it looks pretty cute and wouldn't be overly smutty. A perfect fluff pairing, imo.

Why did you stop liking #7?
Total lack of a connection and a developed fear of het. -_-;;

Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show?
I couldn't think of three. D:

What’s a song that reminds you of #5?
"I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace

If you could have any of these pairings double-date, who would it be?
Number 1 & 6

OMG TRIPLE DATE! 4/5/6 8D
That'd be kinda awkward and interesting. XD

Have #2 kissed yet?
YES

Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn’t ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
Haven't caught up but it could if you believe.

What would make you start shipping #14?
Good art that doesn't make me feel physically ill to my stomach. (Yes, het literally makes my stomach sick...)

If only one could happen, which would you prefer, #2 or #6?
6!

You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
Sasuke kills Sakura and has angry sex with Naruto.

Which do you dislike the most?
Either 11 or 13, too hard to decide. XD

Which of these ships do you love the most?
# 1 atm ~ X3

So, yeah. Got suspended for two weeks and missed all the birthday wishes. XD It feels weird being 17, I feel OLD but more like an adult, ya know? Things have really been put into perspective for me and I feel I'm on a path to a better, more mature me. Don,t worry, I'll still be a nut job, but I won't be as inconsiderate as I have been lately.

Anyways, enough of that! School started and boy was I relieved! I needed to be around people SOOOOOO badly! Seriously, Animethon was the only vacation I got! D:

But seeing my peoples is awesome. My art class is fun because we're all hyper and can't do much work since our teacher is helping with renovations. XD

English is pretty cool but it's been hot as fuck these past few days and there's 32 kids! DX

Math will be easier this year but it's not like I NEED to pass. I got my 20 level course so I can graduate with that, hehe.

Yes! Choir again! Dear lord there are too many grade 10 kids. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! They better not screw up the 20 and 30 levels. I GET TO BE TENOR! I know there's a proper name for a female tenor but I forget...

Anyways, wow, have so much i could rant about but I need to go get my lunch ready! XD

See you! It's great to be back! Please stalk me on Live Journal if you can ~

Mah babe's coming over later tonight and we're driving up there together. Gawd it's gonna be so fun. You can expect a lot of pictures and a wall of text when I get back ~

Another thing is that Laven week has started today ~ As you can see, my first picture is up. Saturday and Sunday's pics may have to wait depending on weather ~futuramakid97 will let me use her laptop. I'm hoping so cuz she's borrowing my precious player pin and I gotta sit through church with her and her parents. -_-

Anyways, more on that after I get back.

Meanwhile, I had posted before about my ghost problems. A friend of mine have possibly found a solution but we'll be keeping you posted on our progress. We believe it was caused by the spirit I had originally contacted by mistake so we need to settle any unfinished business she may have had before she committed suicide.

Also, the mystery as to why I've been on an emo roller coaster has been solved! TOM decided to visit early this time. -_-
Anyways, I'm feeling much better and I'm very excited for the con this year since I'm well prepared unlike last year which was a "throw shit together" kinda planning. Please wish me luck in the cosplay/karaoke contest and if you're going to be there please come and support me! I need it! DX

Till later, see you guys! I love you all!

Okay, before I actually had an idea of what was wrong with me. I was lonely, sad, missed people, etc. But now? Pft, I have no fukkin clue...

One minute I could be okay. I'll be on the phone with Jess laughing and feeling a lot better,t hen I get off and still feel that warm feeling. Then I'll go do something and only gawd knows what it is that'll set me off. I'm angry but with a whole mess of other emotions swimming around and it just pisses me off that I have no idea why the hell I'm so moody and emotional.

I'm not even excited for Animethon anymore... I have no idea why, it'll be a lot of fun. My guess is I'm just overwhelmed because I need to plan stuff. I'm not totally sure our Kanda can even get her costume together in time. There is literally a week left until the con. If she doesn't pull through we'll have to cancel our slot or totally take her out but she's the whole punch line!

I don't wanna make it look like I'm blaming her. She's an awesome person and I know I can count on her. The last thing she needs is more pressure.

Another thing is probably because last year everyone was grumpy and emotional. There was drama to spare and I don't want that to happen again. I'm just hoping we can have fun while still being able to participate in the contests without totally cutting out our free time since we want to be able to shop and our new tradition of yaoi twister.

Apart from that, there's another bigger problem literally looming over me. I don't usually tell people about this but I really need help.

You see, since I'm just so smart, a few months ago I opened something up. I don't exactly know what it is but from what little information I found on it, it's basically a gateway to the afterlife that lets ghosts (and potentially demons) in. They see the gate and are drawn to it depending on my mood. Like right now since I'm in such an emotional roller coaster, I'm vulnerable and a perfect target for malicious spirits to do God knows what.

How it got here was I was trying to communicate with another spirit. However, this spirit was not beside me so it caused me to call out to another spirit instead that, in turn, opened the gate. Now I'm stuck with this thing till I die unless I can find a way to close it.

But from what little info I could dig up, it's almost like these things don't exist in recorded history. I wish I knew more so I could give you guys more to go on but I don't. I need help and research on my own obviously isn't helping. Please, if any of you know about this kind of stuff tell me anything that would be even remotely helpful.

Thank you for reading.

This is one of the biggest reasons I HATE summer.

Besides the heat, which I handle bad enough already, I get really lonely and depressed. Why? I'm bored as fuck and everyone else is doing something.

A couple days ago I got to sleep over with my girlfriend again, but as soon as I left I got that empty feeling again. You know the one where it feels like there's giant hole in your heart that swallows up the area which allows you to feel happy? Yea, that one.

What's more, I watched Forest Gump for the first time ever. Now before you start ranting about how pathetic that is, I'm really not a movie person, but the longer you wait to see something so powerful, the more it moves you.

And boy did it ever. It moved me right to my bedroom floor sobbing.

I had finished watching it and as soon as it was over the tears fell uncontrollably. I had to hurry downstairs and barely manage a "good night" to my dad. The last thing I wanted was for him to see me crying like this. I'm hoping he didn't, though I did want to run up and hug him as I cried into his shirt.

Yes, I'm a wuss. Deal with it...

So I got downstairs and got a text message from Jess who had also been watching it. Just like me she had been crying tho I don't know how hard. She told me how much she loved me and I just had to break down. That's when I fell down on my floor.

It made me realize how good I have it. I know I should feel blessed to have all that I do, but it's upsetting seeing people suffer when I'm made in the shade. What's more, I'm sitting here complaining about how I'm lonely and feeling blue when some of my friends are dealing with much more harsh realities. I just feel so weak...

On the very dimly lit bright side, all my Lavi/Allen week pictures are finished, scanned, and coloured so I'll upload those on the 6th of August onward. I'll have to upload a couple pics late due to me being at Animethon those days.

Anyways, thank you for reading.

Thank you guys! I've reached more than 9000 page views! Next stop, 10,000! I'm gonna offer a kiriban for it so keep an eye out ~

On another note: Tomorrow I'll be heading for a sleepover with my gf after my dentist appointment. My gums will be so sore. D:

She came on the perfect day, too, since my mom was planning on taking me to Harry Potter, as is the tradition. However the theater was so packed with people and reserved seats, Jess and I sat together while my mom was on the other side with just enough distance to notice I had my arm around her. Oops.

I'm not gonna give spoilers, but I cried. ;-;

Once we got home the real party began, hehe ~

I won't go into details, you'll have to either IM me or send a note, whichever is more accessible.

I felt bad because she had to be alone in my house when I went to work then pretty much leave right after we came back from me getting paid. None the less, I enjoyed seeing her again and can't wait for Animethon where I'll be with her for at least three nights. I'm hoping for four since we might get home late and her parents don't like driving in the dark.

Speaking of Animethon, all my costumes are completed seeing as I won't be able to be second-gen Lavi. The one I entrusted to making the jacket bailed. I jumped at the chance to finish it myself, but she won't be able to send the fabric over in time seeing as she's in the city for god knows how long. I would buy it myself, but she's offering it for a much better price. If I were to get it here it'd be $25 a meter. DX

At least my other friend came through on ordering our skin paint on e-bay. It should be here soon. I LOVE YOU, CHILD!

I'll be uploading Jadero and David preview pictures. Remember, there are PREVIEWS so our skin won't be grey but we did do our makeup. It was so fun because we were on a sugar high.

Please enjoy when I'm not feeling lazy!

Laven Week progress: 5/7 pictures finished, 3/7 scaned

I was really happy because Jess was allowed to stay overnight. I miss her over summer especially when her work schedule interferes with possible dates we can get together.

It really was a wonderful night and worth staying up till 7 in the morning. XD

Everything was awesome except when we went for a walk for slushies, there was something following Jess and me and it was not a pleasant vibe. It basically drove me into a mental breakdown. Fun!

But that was the only thing. I was totally fine after I recovered from my adrenaline rush.

Random side note: I JUST HIT MY KNEE! FUCK CAKES! DX

Also, thanks to =waffies I figured out how to work my game! Thank you so much! Go check her out ~

MEME:
1) Who are you?
2) Are we friends?
3) When and how did we meet?
4) Give me a nickname and explain why.
5) Describe me in 1 word.
6) What was your first impression of me?
7) Do you still think the same?
8) What reminds you of me?
9) If you could give me anything, what would it be?

Okay, so I guess there is no links for the other doujin game I posted about earlier. BUT, I hath found three more games. The problem is none will work for me AGAIN. I've had this problem before so I'll post the links and I'd like someone be able to help me figure out how to get these babies working.

There re still thee little pieces of doubt but =aixkiraixjisatsu has helped me through A LOT of it. For that, I'm very, very grateful. She's been such a great friend since I've spent more time getting to know her.

I'm dedicating a huge thank you to you. *hug*

Another thing that helped me along was getting to see my gf last night for the Canada Day fireworks. It was so beautiful and romantic... I miss you a lot, sweetie. Hope we can see each other monday! *kiss*

I really don't have much more to say besides this. Hope you guys have a great summer and thank you to everyone else who helped cheer me up. You know who you guys are!

Till later, see ya!

Alright, I don't know what's wrong but I have a few things to get out there and off my chest...

First off, yesterday we went back to my old hometown to visit relatives. I thought it was gonna be fun but as soon as we stopped for lunch in the next town over I was getting very bad vibes and could feel my mood just drop like a rock.

At first I didn't think much of it and that I was just tired from having to get up early. (which was actually still sleeping in considering I get up earlier for school, but I also was up till 2 role playing but that's beside the point.)

So we got to my grandma's place and I did cheer up a bit... till I was banished to the couch to make room at the table for other guests. That kinda made me feel bad but I drew a bit and got over it.

Oh but we can't have that, seeing as my mom snuck up behind me and scared the living crap out of me!

I CANNOT have people behind me anymore. I get really uneasy and such.

Again, I kept my head up despite all the negativity I was feeling. Then we reached my relative's house and holy crap there was A LOT of people there. I did NOT expect that at all. As soon as I entered there shop where most people were visiting I got a bad feeling in my stomach.

Lo and behold there sat one of my childhood enemies that hated me with most fibers of his being. Oh joy.

I didn't think much of it at the time. I thought it'd give me a chance to maybe make peace seeing as he wasn't being a douche bag at all. We played games and had fun.

But it didn't feel right... I mean... I felt so excluded just sitting with them. I couldn't be included in their conversations because, of course, they spoke of their own lives. I just felt... Like my whole life there was being re-lived. Close to the end of it all I just snuck off somewhere and cried. I needed it because it was just building. I can't describe it but I was in pain and the air was heavy with negativity.

I decided to sleep it off but as of now it still lingers.

However, it's just as bad right now.

Most of you know how excited I am for animethon and being Lavi. I really am... but... I'm having huge doubts.

Up until now I thought I was a pretty good cosplayer. I paid very close attention to detail even if most of my outfits were bought. If I found a flaw or something not accurate, I modified it myself to the best of my ability. From the reviews I've been receiving, I'm doing very well.

But I don't believe I really am.

I have a few very talented cosplayer friends and you know who you are. I look up to them and ask them for advice on improving because that's the best way to do so, right? I try very hard to do everything right but it just doesn't feel right at all.

I'm doubting my "skills" and if I truly deserve to pursue my dream of being as great of a cosplayer as they are...

I take all criticism very well considering my weak heart and try to take all negative aspects into consideration. But I don't feel like it's good enough...

Thank you for reading this and listening to what I have to say.

*ahem* That meaning I'm done my Jasdero pants as well as my gf's David ones. My gawd those were tedious.

Apart from having so split and hem them (lol rhyme) I had to punch holes in them as well as hammer eyelets inside those holes. Most of the time said eyelets would fall out of the holes and litter the living room floor.

After that came the threading of the ribbon in these holes to make the X's up and down the legs. That wasn't too hard except the fact I had to keep adjusting them so they'd be uniform and even and such.

The fun part was discovering mid- thread that the back of one pair didn't have holes or eyelets yet. My reaction:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

So I decided to screw it since I had a limited supply and just put holes in the pants. They most likely won't tear through seeing as I folded over and sewed where I cut.

I'm so excited now! All I need is to sew the fur onto my vest and I'm totally done my Jasdero! Pics will be posted when that time comes. However we won't apply the body paint till Animethon for two reasons:

1.) We don't have it yet
2.) Why the hell would I cover my whole body in grey for one photo shoot?

One bad thing is that on Monday our exams start.

I'm totally gonna pass all my classes... except maybe math since I dunno my current mark but I'm sure I can get by with whatever it is even if I only have about a 60 or so. I only need a 50 to pass.

Oh, and today in Wal Mart my mom threatened to kick me out of the house for using Axe products. HEAVEN FORBID A GIRL USES "MEN'S" PRODUCTS.

Let's see... I use Axe deodorant, spray and wear boxer shorts and "men's" t-shirts. What difference would it make if I used the shower gel? Seriously...

There's my rant, hope you had fun wasting you lives.

Random side note: Frick, my headphones broke again! That's the third pair this year!

Till later, see ya! *forehead wave*

You see, I found this one Lavi Allen game on the interwebz but the problem is 1.) I can't read it and 2.) When I try to play, a giberish speech bubble pops up and the only option is to click "ok" but when I do, the damn thing closes!

I'm not sure what the game is called. The file said it's Wanko_t_10.

Please if anyone knows what to do tell me, they shall be rewarded. XP

GAY MARRIAGE IS STILL ILLEGAL.

FML

FML!!!!!!!!!!

FML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on another note...

I will not be on the computer thursday-saturday (possibly in the evening). I'll be leaving for Banff for our band/choir tour.

Watch me totally lose my voice the first day. XD

So yes, I will try to get on Saturday if I don't pass out on the couch.

Sunday is a strong possibility.

Over the course of this week, I may pop in to check messages and such from school. (*hurr hurr*)

So don't die when you don't see that little green light beside my name this weekend.

Best wishes from Big Brother Lavi ~

I regret (*hurr hurr*) to inform you that I'll be taking a hiatus from "Shadowed Regret". Reason being is I've just been slapped in the face with commissions for friends and my school as well as my own costumes.

Seeing as these events have come up, I doubt I'll be having much time to write considering I've also been hit with a massive block.

I will, however, find time to upload drawings and cosplay when time is given. As per usual I'll be on the computer on weekends unless the following circumstances arise:

-I'm dead
-I'm hospitalized
-I'm actually WORKING
-Away with family/cons (will let you know in advance)
-I got the job I applied for

Hopefully the last one will happen. I NEED A JOB.

Anyways, I just updated to inform you of this. I'm very sorry to my dedicated fans and random viewers of my stories.

Please don't sue.

Peace out ~ *forehead wave*

After that, if my friend is done my jacket, i'll start on my Lavi pants. I should get my holister sewn on soon, too. I'm excited to make the pants because I get to make assless chaps over top of white pants. XD It will be fun and possibly quite irritating.

Whatever, i do enjoy sewing and long as our machine co-operates with me.

After that, time to rehearse my skit for the cospaly contest and cinfirm weather or not all my group memebers will participate. So far we have me, Allen (), The Earl (), possibly Kanda and General Cross () and Road who will ask her cousin if they can be Tyki. Hopefully everyone will have enough lines.

Basically what I did for the skit was re-write the lyrics to the Mulan song "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" with apparent yaoi undertones. XD

If all goes well and we have neough time before Animethon and all my other stuff is done, I plan on making a Jasdero outfit and my Allen will be David. Twincest will ensue. XD

That's all for now. I decided to update because I'm at school waiting for the overhead projector.

Till later, see ya. *forehead wave*

Alright, basically Challenge Day is a retreat-type thinger. Certain students are invited to partake in it. We spend the whole school day there which is merely an added bonus. Most people used this day, however, to skip classes. A select few just plain skipped and didn't even stay the whole day. I wanna punch them...

But yea, moving on. So we all were in the gym and everyone there is pretty much "whatever, we get to skip class and shit." as the... what would you call them? Hosts? Anyways, the people running challenge day, Pam and John. They're freaking awesome. XD We were dancing and laughing and hugging most of the morning.

WE PLAYED VOLLEY BALL WITH A GIANT BEACH BALL! Dude, this thing was MASSIVE. Like, maybe as big as most of my body. It prolly went up to my shoulders when I stood by it. Anyways, that was pretty cool.

Then it got DEAD serious.

No fun.

No games.

It was time to get REAL with people.

That's what Challenge Day is.

Getting real with the people around you.

I know, it's not really specific and stuff and most of you are thinking "what reason do I have to get real and open up to others?" and that's cool.

I only did it to have some glimmer of hope that my school and community could change. Start out small, you know? I've always wanted to make this a more friendly place to live and by opening up and showing my real self to others, it'd make things a bit more comfortable for people who want the same thing as me, right? I wanted to pave this road of change for others like me. Not just gays and lesbians, but anyone who wants change.

When it came time to get into groups, I was pretty nervous but luckily I had one friends in my group so that eased the load. Plus I was already a blubbering MESS after Pam and John had opened up.

What really helped me be more comfortable was when Pam came out and told about her struggles as a lesbian and I totally related. Luckily she had a bit of an easier time of it than me, but we both struggled and that's what helped me relax.

Besides, most of my school knew already so why not just stand up and announce my pride?

I did.

But that story comes a bit later.

After our groups spilled our guts to each other it was lunch time. My poor baby was crying so I held her close. That sacrificed chicken sammich was worth being able to know my baby was gonna be okay without me until we had another break.

So we ate, blew our noses and tried to calm down.

We played a few more games to lighten the mood a bit, but then we had to get real again.

This was the biggest eye-opener of the whole day.

Now, I haven't seen the movie "Freedom Riders", but apparently this exercise was on it. Anyways, it's called the "Power Shuffle".

Some of you may already know what I mean by that just by reading the title, but if you don't here's basically what happened:

We laid a long strip of tape on the floor as a line that stretched from one side of the gym to the other and stood behind it. Pam stood up on a chair and read a question. if that question applied to you, you'd cross over the line. The questions were things like "cross the line if you're under 18" so, naturally, all the people under 18 crossed the line.

Then they got really hard. I could go on and on but the hardest one for me that I actually didn't hafta cross was "cross the line if you've ever been a child". In all honesty I didn't believe that.

There were more but I don,t wanna bore you. Anyways after that the mood completely changed. This whole activity was very, very real and very, very powerful.

Just being able to see the other people who crossed at the same time as you or even the ones who didn't hafta cross very much at all. People were crying on complete stranger's shoulders. I was holding stranger's hands and comforting them. People I never actually knew existed or would even try to associate with. Now I see them in the halls and smile.

After the shuffle we got back into our groups and shared our thoughts and experiences. Again, there were tears shed and hugs shared. I was a faucet. XD

We all had different thoughts and experiences, but we all agreed that this was real and the change had started.

Next we had a chance to get up in front of everyone and share out thoughts. I got up there and I said what came to me. Unfortunately I always know I coulda put it better and it embarrasses me a bit, but it's okay. Everyone in that room was behind me no matter how much of a stuttering... ]]> ~Aruka-san http://Aruka-san.deviantart.com/journal/24445825/ http://Aruka-san.deviantart.com/journal/24445825/ Sun, 26 Apr 2009 12:53:14 PDT
Well, yesterday I had to go to the hospital. That was oodles of fun! Thank gawd I had my iPod with me or I would have just started singing to myself and generally acting like I belonged in a sponge room. I was shaking the entire time, my gawd it was terrible!

Incase you're dying to know why, I went there because I apparently have a bacterial infection. I'll let you figure out yourselves where it is because I don't wanna give out to much unneeded info. Lets just say they needed to stick two giant Q-Tips in it. *shudders*

I'll be alright but I just had to take eight extremely nasty pills at once. Bastards kept sticking to the back of my tongue. Holy crap I felt like I woulda puked right there had I not an iron constitution.

Praise the mighty lord above I only hafta take all those eight once. I just have a few pain meds and other antibacterial stuff.

Let's just say... Never again.

Apart from my hospital expeditions not much else has happened since Haru Fest except I got into the series D. Gray Man. Wow, i've never been this hooked on a series since the good ol' days of Fullmetal Alchemist and Inuyasha when i was young and naive. XD

But seriously, I was up till 1 reading it. I started on chapter 47 (since I borrowed my gf's books before that and really wanted to keep reading) and read all the way to 100. I stopped there since it's an easy number to remember and I wanted to chat it up with ~aixkiraixjisatsu. After much conversation I've decided to attempt to sew a costume from scratch.

[link]

Lawl, wish me luck. XD I already made myself a new eye patch.

Note to self: Never buy cosplay accessories at a dollar store that are intended for 5-year-olds. XD The one I had before left red marks under and above my eyes.

I'm totally gonna try to make it if I can get fabric for cheap. I'll ask one of my friends to help me out. She literally has a fabric store in her house. XD I bet she'd have something resembling that kinda material.

If I can find a jacket, tho, I'ma just modify that. Please lemme be able to find one at the thrift store! *crosses fingers*

If I succeed you'll see it at Animethon and possibly a bit before. if I pull this off, there's gonna be a whole day set aside for my Allen and me to just go nuts with picture taking at her place preferably. It'd be better seeing as she lives on a farm. Rural settings seem more canon than a city one, doncha think?

But even if I don't, my first gen Lavi outfit is in and my gf and I finally have enough money to get it. Dear lord I'm gonna die of heat stroke no matter which outfit I wear! XD So here's my plan:

A dozen water bottles stashed in my bag
Ice cubes frequently stuffed into my chest bindings
3 battery-operated mini fans from the dollar store running simultaneously as needed.

I got it all planned out. XD

But yes, I'm gearing up for Animethon in the worst way. My mom,s gonna hopefully hook mr up with a job asap so i can make money for it and have some left over for costumes and accessories.

My gf and I are gonna buy the box sets for D. Gray Man anime in both English and Japanese. XD Then prolly watch it at our Josh's house.

OMFG YOU ARE OUR HERO!!!

She's totally gonna be the Millennium Earl for us when Neku and I do Lavi and Allen! We freaking love you, girl!

We gonna stuff you with pillows. XD

Fyi, get a white umbrella and put a pumpkin head on it for an accessory... And read D. Gray man. XD

Thas all I got for now.

Till later, I'm out. *salute*

Neku went as Sho and I was Beat so I could show off my awesome new reaper wings!

I met new friends and got molested by Joshua. ;-;

Not cool, yo...

Pretty much as soon as we got there people were squealing "BEAT! X3" and taking pictures of us. A few even said I was god. XD

I really love that kinda attention, it makes me special and reminds me how awesome I am. XD

Yea, now that I'm done uploading new cosplay pics and drawings, I can settle down and make my arrangements for Animethon this August. First... I need money which means I gotta get a job and soon. XD

Thas all I got for now.

Till later, peace, yo!

Again, I am not bashing. I actually do like Joshua a lot but I refuse to support him with Neku for the reasons I am about to list.

Also, before I begin, this is in no means from a religious stand point but from general knowledge collected. Unfortunately I cannot reveal my sources beyond as to say that I know from word out an experienced mouth. I sincerely apologize if I offend anyone.

Now, onto the topic at hand.

(Spoilers for those who have not completed the game)



As most of us know, Joshua is the composer for Shibuya. Composers are ranked within the ranks of a divine being such as angels and demi-gods else they wouldn't have such control over the Game being it is a game for life. Ordinary humans would never realistically have that kind of power. As such with being of such divine status comes into play the ideas of aura.

If you do not know what aura is, it is a field of subtle, luminous radiation supposedly surrounding a person or object like the halo or aureola of religious art. The depiction of such an aura in religious art usually connotes a person of particular power or holiness. (taken from wikipedia)

Different colors represent mood and spiritual status. On this scale of colors, white being the highest, Joshua would definitely rank up there. Given that, a relationship with a human (even a player) would be very harmful.

Why? Auras of such a high status, as clearly stated by Hanekoma in one of his reports, would cause great emotional frustration and eventually lead to Neku's death.

Spiritual and divine beings are meant to act as guardians, brother or father (even sister or mother on occasion) figures to those lucky few people blessed with the gift of having one attached to them. The love of such beings is boundless and strong, but never meant to be romantic.

In my opinion, Joshua chose Neku to take his place in the Game because, possibly before he even became composer, he was assigned to protect him. Part of that protection process was to send him into the game so he could warm and open up to people. He was merely acting like a prick to expose him to life's harsh realities and further develop his ability to strengthen ties with humanity even through the most bleak of situations.

And please don't throw in the flirting as an argument. People flirt all the time and it doesn't mean they all of a sudden wanna screw you.

Again, in my opinion, Joshua was flirting to get reactions from Neku for his entertainment. Being of clear higher status means he enjoys watching humans suffer once in awhile. In other words, he was stroking his ego. This could also be part of the "tough love" process mentioned earlier.

As for Josh's orientation, it is very clear and blatantly obvious that Joshua is a homosexual person while in human form. I say this because angels and such have no specified gender though appear predominantly male with elegant, "feminine" features. Naturally, when in human form, (yes, they can assume human form. How else would he be able to enter the game as a LIVING human?) he would appear and act as such.

BUT

This does not mean he would have these feelings for Neku in a romantic sense, but as a brother would feel towards a younger sibling as a protector and, at times, a provider if parents are absent. Thus, making a relationship with Neku somewhat incestuous.

I hope this has changed some opinions and provided more insight than my last journal.

Again, I DO NOT INTEND TO OFFEND ANYONE.

Also, if my data is off, please inform me so i may make corrections.

Next rant - Possibly more Beat x Neku evidence once I gather more intelligence.

I'll set up the next one once their prize is up.

On a side note, Haru Fest is coming up on the 18th. Hopefully I can get a ride there if my parents can't drive us. I'll be showing off my new Reaper!Beat costume. It's ¾ of the way done, currently. I'm just waiting for the paper maché to dry so I can spray paint it.

I'm also hoping to meet up with our Josh for the first time so we can have plenty of fun for the day.

That's all i got for now besides the fact I've been in a crappy mood lately. It better clear up, it's the long weekend.

Until next time, peace, yo!

Before I begin, i wanna say a few things. This rant may contain spoilers for the game The World Ends With You if you haven't played it. Also, I am NOT trying to kill your fandom. Go ahead and love whatever pairing you want, i could care less. I'm posting this upon request and hoping to gather up more Beat x Neku fans because this paring needs moar luff plz.

This post is also for the type of people who support pairings based on evidence that it could happen. This pairing, from what i've seen, is one of those that have a strong possibility of happening. If you like any of the pairings I'm going against, stop reading and all the power to you. if you continue to read, please keep and open mind and realize I'm not fandom bashing, I'm just finding flaws within it that prove, in MY opinion, that the pairing couldn't happen.

Aight, well

First off all. Haven't you noticed throughout the game, out of ALL the chatacters, Neku was drawn towards Beat the most? Think about it. Okay, at first h was bitter and all "Nerr, go away", but he was like that towards EVERYONE and just because he finally made friends and trusted Shiki, doesn't mean he loves her.

Sure, they had that lovely "I'ma reach for your hand before I go" moment, but really, do you think Neku woulda done THAT much of a 180˚ in seven days. I mean, come on! He HATED people, he HATED Shiki. Do you think telling him her life story made a lick of difference? If anything he respected her more as a persona and accepted her as a friend by using her name. THAT'S IT. A friend. Remember, this is only week 1, he's learned to trust people and make friends, let's not jump ahead of ourselves and say "OMG HE LOVES HER HE HAS TO LOVE HER!!!". Gimme a break.... If he did "OMG" love her, that wouldn't be real love. You don't come from the dark pit of hating the world to just plain loving the first person you see.

I rest my case, Neku x Shiki wouldn't be a possibility... at the moment. Let's move onto Joshua.

Okay, so a random guy appears before you while you're at Hachiko and forms a pact without asking. Aight, whatev, I needed a new partner. Then you get talking with the guy and find out the guy's been "watching you" and is generally acting suspicious. Again, whatev, he's my partner, i gotta trust him, right? Throughout that week he gets more and more suspicious especially when you so decide to mind scan him and find out YOU can. not only that, you see an image of yourself... dead. Suspicion meter = THROUGH THE ROOF

Now, after all you've been through, you confront him out of anger and find out that he is, quite possibly, you murderer. Now, most people wouldn't wanna even CONSIDER going out with someone like that. He's being a snotty brat and he may very well have killed Neku at this point. How 'bout some hot buttsex? I don't think so.

Again, Neku is still brooding after trying to save Shiki and getting over his fear of getting close to people when Josh shows up and it all goes backwards. All hopes Neku would've opened up and changed during this week went down the drain during all of week 2. Josh became a good friend and trusted partner despite all that happened, but that doesn't mean he'd go as far as love the one who he suspected of murdering him.

However.

At the end of week 2, right after you defeat Sho, Josh took his attack and ended up dying saving him. Had we taken all that in and assumed that was more than enough to make up for what he had done over that week, then there is a possibility feelings would have formed on Neku's part. He was crying and noticeably upset when discovering the fate of his partner. So at the moment, Josh x Neku has a small possibility of happening considering he had started warming up to and accepting people and friends. Josh played a massive role in helping him see that, but considering at this point he's dead, there's not much for personal interaction between them.

So currently, Shiki x Neku = Friends only
Josh x Neku = slight possibility (as much as it pains me)

Next up, my personal fave ~ Beat x Neku. (Please not that just because it's my fave I won't be as hard on it. I'm cracking down on all three.)

Okay, Neku's still hurt over losing Joshua and has now discovered that he's the only Player this time around and is about to be noise food when (dun dunna da!) Beat appears and bitches out the reapers. Pretty cool, right? Remember that Beat is still a reaper, he coulda just helped kill Neku faster seeing as that was his mission since he first joined the reapers. Why now decide to help the other side? A number of reasons:
1.) The reapers were clearly breaking the rules in attacking a player, even Beat could see that. It was the right thing to do.
2.) The whole Game was rigged. You... ]]> ~Aruka-san http://Aruka-san.deviantart.com/journal/23955942/ http://Aruka-san.deviantart.com/journal/23955942/ Sun, 29 Mar 2009 17:30:43 PDT
What is a kiriban, you ask?

Basically whoever is the 6000th viewer to my page will win a prize.

As proof that you reached the 6000 mark, send me a screenshot that proves it was you in a note.

The prize can be either a cosplay that I've done with a set theme, pose, etc or a drawing of any of the pairings I feature within my gallery or even an individual character.

If you have questions, post below.

If this goes well I'll make a higher kiriban next time. XP

Met a few new friends that I may be able to stay with for Ota Fest. XP

I also won in my class, Best Action, for the AMV contest.... of course I only won by default because no one else entered that category. XD

Here's the video that woulda won anyways:
[link]

I also won second place in the Cosplay contest for my totally improvised Hardcore Caramel Dansen the second day. I still have yet to fathom how people actually voted for it. XD Linkage will be posted when Zuko uploads the video.

Also, my costumes:

Uryu = Hardcore failure

I'm not kidding... it failed so terribly....

My hair was neon blue since there was no black hairspray at the store.

I looked like a fat nerd.

And my bindings kept falling down on me.

No image of this travesty will ever see the light of day...

EVER.

However, my girlfriend made an amazing Ichigo! Pics will be up as soon as I photoshop them to my desires.

Beat = Epic Win

I was very happy with it. So happy, in fact, I'm considering making me some badass reaper wings and learn how to ride a skateboard. I truely adore this cosplay and will be doing more of it. Hopefully Phones will, too.

On that note, my lil' Phones looked SO HOT. I gasped at her sexiness.

It was kinda interesting considering we both threw it together as soon as we could before the con. We worked on it Friday night and Saturday afternoon because we came home sick.

The reason we had to do it ourselves was that her friend who was originally making it's sewing machine broke so all we had to work with was the material and a pre-made shirt. We bought yellow ribbon from Wal Mart after school. Lucky break. XD

Took about five hours but it turned out great! I'm very happy with myself and I hope she wears it more often and doesn't get tired of it any time soon. X3

On Sunday we had the improv group the 404's preform. They were awesome and I'm gonna upload a few videos I took soon, hopefully after all my photoshopping is done,

That's all for now. Until later, peace, yo!

First off, a very HUGE thanx and many hugs go to ~aixkiraixjisatsu for spiffing up the Beat x Neku community. If you haven't yet seen it, here's the link:
[link]

She generously updated the background theme and provided us with a stunning banner! Many, many thanx go to her for helping bring the place alive! Hopefully now we can get some more publicity.

I encourage all members to advertise and I hope to affiliate the community with ~Twewy-Yaoi-Fans here and other TWEWY communities on Live Journal. (as soon as I recover the link. XD I'd appreciate it if someone could send me a couple...)

JAF

ALL IS GOOD! My costumes are officially completed and redy for display! Hopefully the waether will co operate allowing for pictures to be taken outside.

Since my last post, i have bought myself blue hair spray for my Ishida. Beat is all covered if the chain isn't done by then. Everything is sorted and stuff.

Phones is even gonna spend both nights at my place. X3 I'm so psyched, we're prolly gonna take some pictures after school the day before the actual con and stay up really late so I'm tired and mellowed out for my srs Ishida-ness.

And this year, for the first time ever they're holding an AMV contest and a cosplay skit contest as well. I don't really have a skit planned out at all but I'm gonna enter my kyubi tribute AMV since it's the best one I've made on movie maker thus far. Wish me luck ~

It's gonna be amazing! Till then i prolly won't be updating here much. See ya after JAF!

Peace, yo!

Holy crap, I just found out that Prop 8 is going to court today! I'm watching the live broadcast and the judges are going in to discuss and make their decision. I'm excited and scared all at once.

Please let this Proposition be denied...

UPDATE:

The verdict isn't up yet, but it may take while. They must be submitted within 90 days of the oral argument. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

----

Alright, first off, I have now made a new community on Live Journal that needs serious TLC. XD

It's a Beat x Neku community and I need your guy's help with expanding it!

[link]

Please contribute and any way possible and if anyone has a subscription, i'd appreciate the help with the layout since currently it's very, VERY dull and unappealing. Note me if you can help or know someone who does. I'll make you a maintainer and my undying gratitude.

On another note:

JAF IS NEXT WEEKEND!

I'm so excited, even if it is a very, VERY small con, I'm looking forward to just goofing off and showing my new costumes. However, i just realized I forgot to get black hair spray so i'll have to bug my mom for some before time is up! Maybe when she gets home from her meeting I'll ask.

So, here's the lineup:

Day 1: Uryu Ishida (Bleach) -needs black hairspray.

This costume won't be anything fancy since I'm not gonna be all LOL QUINCY PLZ. I'm just being regular schoolboy Ishida since it was kinda last-minute planning.

Day 2: "Beat" (The World Ends With You)-needs to wait for chain to be spray painted. *prays*

Yep, it's all finished and if the chain isn't done, I have a backup one. XP

Pics will be taken and hopefully the drama will be minimum. I wanna have fun!

For now, Peace out, yo!

On a side not, MY BEAT COSTUME IS ALMOST DONE!!!!

]]> ~Aruka-san http://Aruka-san.deviantart.com/journal/23388548/ http://Aruka-san.deviantart.com/journal/23388548/ Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:24:03 PST
Okay, right now I'm currently working on a new flash and such. Nearly done, yaay!

BUT

MY DAMN IPOD IS BEING GAYER THAN ME!

I plugged it in because lately it hasn't been importing a few of my songs... actually a lot of my songs.

I dl'd the TWEWY OST from LJ and all was dandy. I imported it into iTunes and listened to it the night I put them on which was Saturday. Now I scroll through my playlists and only 22 of the 36 are actually on there! What the hell? They just magically went *poof* and I didn't even open iTunes last night when i was on the computer with it plugged in.

Now the damn thing won't even unplug. Every time I try it says:

The iPod "Beat's iPod" cannot be removed because it contains files being used by another application."

Uh.. hi... no it doesn't.

So either that whole file has fucked up my itunes or my iPod has a death wish.

Anyone got ideas? *needs all her TWEWY music to live*

I never updated yesterday for a very special reason:

I was at Sasu's house. XP

We had fun times and sexy times. Lawl, i'm not going into detail, btw. Just gonna say that we were both very satisfied. Heheheheee...

Anyways, it was really nice being there. It's not very often when I can get over there because of trust issues, but I think I'm good now. Just no sleepovers unless there are other friends over as well. Like for birthday parties which is totally reasonable.

Oh, I also had my first paranormal experience! It was really fukkin scary at first since, duh, it was my first. I knew her room had two ghosts in it, but I never had the guts to look at them with her. I saw one of them. They're orbs so it was faint, but definitely there. He was kinda pretty, i'll admit.

Damn things were communicating with her saying I was weird! Even the supernatural think so! It mus be true! DX

They was laughin at me. ;-;

Anyways, it was a very fun day/evening. I just wish it could've lasted. ^_^'

Now, onto my pairing love!

In case you haven't noticed my new art, i love Beat x Neku from TWEWY (best game I've ever played).

It's cute, powerful, and had STRONG EVIDENCE OF ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

Unlike a certain OTHER pairing that,s more popular... (*shakes fist at Josh x Neku*)

I would totally rant on how much MORE possible it is for happening, but I don't wanna make this an even bigger wall of text so i'll just say:

Ya don't fuck the guy who killed ya...

I rest my case.

Seriously, they came home and didn't TOUCH the subject. I was relieved but also a bit more terrified because it feels like they're saving that for another day to cut me down... but I'm not too worried.

So this week had a rough start but that's combined with my bad habit of pestering people and cranky, sleepy mamma Sasu.

So yea, my goal for the break is to try and find some foam heads and style some wigs then hopefully try to finnish my Gakuen Naruto cloak. If any of my in-town friends know where I can get my hands on some of those heads, please tell me where and how much. I really need these things ASAP.

So as you can see I'm forusing my energy on school and upcoming cons starting by planning out who I'm gonna be and when. Here's what I have so far:

JAF:

Day 1: Uryu Ishida (Bleach)
Progress: Idea planted in my head but I gotta wait for spring to get my dress shirt. I'm not going fancy Quincy, just plain schoolboy. XD

Day 2: Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto Shippuuden)
Progress: Totally done except for the styling into proper spikes.


Ota Fest: (If I'm allowed to go...)
(Days Pending)
Naruto Uzimaki (Konoha Gakuen)
Oiroke Naruto
Pending


Animethon: (Again, if I can go...)
Day 1: Debating between a Pokemon Furry or Where's Waldo
Day 2: Uryu Ishida
Day 3: Naruto Uzumaki

These are not totally final yet, but they've been planned out and will hopefully be followed through with.

Any advice or tips for what else I can do to improve my costumes in the mean time will be greatly appreciated.

Thanx in advance ~

To think this whole mess coulda been avoided had I learned to keep my mouth shut. That's been happening a lot lately. I say stuff then realize how selfish it was and feel like the douche bag I am. I'm so blessed to have a lover that's so forgiving because I really don't feel i deserve a grace this time.

Long story short, these jerks were being... well, jerks and I told them to "bite me, dipshit" and it kinda progressed with word throwing from there. I was flustered and upset so I kinda punched a wall and leaned against it to cool off. Sasu pulled a teacher over to escort us back to class where she told me she overheard one of the guys say "we should go rape those bitches" and, of course, I break down sobbing followed by a string of apologies.

So yea, I felt really stupid that day and just on friday I was in a really bitchy mood after art class because I have at least 5 art projects due and a week to do them. Yea, not gonna happen, especially with our final project. Now I gotta take zeros on them and listen to my mom talk about how useless I am after seeing my marks. Joy.

Best part is my whole body is on high alert to make sure I protect Sasu from anything and anyone just as her friend starts getting too sexual with her. This also just so happens to be the same friend that isn't too fond of me in the first place so there's no way in hell I'm talking to her. Her way of thinking isn't like the average person. I would totally snap at her if it were anyone else, though. Luckily Sasu feels the same way so she's gonna talk to her.

So for now all I can do is try to calm the fuck down and prepare for my impending doom. Hopefully I won't have to run away and go through with Sasu's plan to let me stay with her. It'd be nice, but I just don't wanna hurt my parents... Why, is the reason i can't think of.

Well now I know for next time never to have the idiocy to open up to them about any part of my relationship with her. Shock therapy never works and if I even told the remote truth about what her and I have done, my mom would definitely kill me. Emotionally and possibly physically. I never know with her.

To top it off, I'm getting a COLD! Sore throat and all. I'm not oozing yet, but boy I can't wait!

Wish me luck. Dead lesbian walking...

I have one big resolution this time. I never had one before but now I do.

As soon as the bells toll the hour of twelve, I will thereby vow with everything I've got to take care of and love my girlfriend more than I have this year. I vow that I will protect her, care for her, and give her the best life no one else could. And most of all, I will focus a lot more of my energy into the emotional aspect of our love, not just physical. I seem to be making that mistake a lot more and I swear to try as hard as I can to control myself.

Very long winded but no less true.

Have a great new year. ^_^

First off, like, 10 of my drawings got DELETED! I can understand some were graphic, but why the hell would you put a "nudity" and "sexual themes" option under the mature content filter options when you get suspended for using the damn things!?

I mean, honestly, I even filtered the stuff that didn't even have nudity in the first place!

So I'm kinda mad about that and DA better be thankful I don't have to fave and upload my shit all over again (I'm a faving whore...) or else I'd be punching infants...

Also, my isolation period from Sasuke is over but another tragic chapter of my life has unfolded. My parents are being jerks to me and I'm actually starting to believe what they say about me... And don,t tell me to talk with them because that,s how this whole mess started. Plus each time I try to open up they turn the conversation around in some way to make me feel even more like shit then i did when I started talking to them.

Best part is now they wanna drag me into a counselor meeting with them because they wanna know why I keep seeing him at school. You know, making appointments and shit. HE'S A FUKKIN DOCTOR HE'S SUPPOSED TO CHECK UP ON HIS PATIENTS.

This whole thing started when i came off the bus pissed off because some bitch was harassing me and I was mad and blind enough to tell them about the "fat dykes" graffiti I found in Sasuke and my current hang out spot at lunch. I also was just so smart by mentioning that I hold her hand in the hallways and it just sped downhill from there.

So yea, that kinda helped me feel a bit better. I worried my poor baby sick in the afternoon after I told the counselor about my meeting with my parents. I just kinda fell into a hole then and the poor girl had to see it. If you read this I'm so sorry baby and I love you so much... You're my everything, baby and I'm not gonna lose you this easily... Never!

She says you can send your letters to: missywong92 [at] msn [dot] com. Please type out ant email your opinion letters to her, but please don't get too angry. XD

If you're too lazy to email them, you can send them to here here on our little home of Deviant Art and she'll still send them.

Please address your letters to "Prop 8 Supporters" and not the legislature, if you please.

I know we can beat this, the damn thing's illegal in the first place!

On a side note, I HAVE ARTIST'S BLOCK! If anyone wants to request something that may be a huge help and I may actually do it. XD

On another side note, I'VE REACHED 3000 PAGEVIEWS! GO ME!

As many of you know, on November 4th proposition 8 went through in California. For those who haven't that means that the law states marriage must be performed on a man and a woman only. Gay marriage is illegal. It was only about two years ago that it was legal but now they've decided to change their minds and ban it because their children are learning about it in school and it's just so very wrong to be informed about something so everyone can grow up to loath and hate it as an abomination.

Well I wonder how that's gonna work for them.

As most of my friends and watchers know, I'm a lesbian (omfg internet come-out kinda sorta) and I live in Canada. Now normally something like discrimination against gays in the US would make me quite angry for a few days, I'd rant to my friends and cool down.

Not this time.

I've never been so angry about something since God knows when! This is just plain wrong, homophobe or not! I'm so furious! Just today my girlfriend and I got into an argument that resulted in copious amounts of tears just because she played a song on her phone that irritates me. I stormed out of the room to cool down and just sat sobbing in the bathroom. Even more so when she came and told me she had hurt herself.

This whole thing because the stress and anger of this whole thing just got to me and I snapped. Now I feel more horrible than before. Even now I'm on the verge of tears.

Just last night I watched the National News on two different channels just to hear about what was happening with the protests and to gather more info on the subject at hand.

Here's what I found.

As most know, the main basis of the Conservatives' hatred of homosexuals is in the Bible. According to their sources, it's an abomination and one of the greatest sins. One argument against this is that, in the same paragraph, it states eating shrimp or anything that isn't kosher is also a great sin. That statement is often dismissed and ignored. But I found something very interesting out that many of you may also know, but I'm quite slow.

The Bible also declares that God did not intend for the races of man to be mixed meaning interracial marriage is about as sinful as gay marriage.

In 1967 the ban in interracial marriage was lifted giving them the freedom to marry.

So much for following the Bible. So why is interracial marriage different than same-sex marriage? Straight, gay, why the hell should it really matter? Doesn't marriage all boil down to love in the end?

According to my sources, this whole thing started because kids were learning about it in school. KIDS ARE LEARNING ABOUT DRUGS AND ALCOHOL FROM OTHER STUDENTS! So i guess it's better for kids to get hooked on meth and piss drunk than for them to learn about homosexuals because they could become one.

BULL SHIT!

Believe what you want, but as my girlfriend recently said, and I quote:
"Telling gays that they can just stop being is like telling a black man to go wash the color out of his skin."

It's all genetic, folks. Live with it.

And for one, people should HAVE to learn about it. It's a fact of life and the more people who don,t understand it, the more bigot Conservatives we'll have walking around causing messes like this. That's the whole reason people discriminate in the first place, because they don,t know anything about it and what you don't know you, in turn, fear. What you fear, you hate. It's human nature and I know it's true. Trust me, we learned enough about Globalization and the likes of it in Social last year. In turn, our school and city have become a lot more tolerant and accepting of gays (even if there are only a select few. I'm the only lesbian I know in my whole city of 17 000). A good friend of mine actually found this [link] spray painted on the side of Liquidation World.

I'm glad I could get this off my chest, I really am. I'd like your feedback on the whole topic and, if you happen to receive it, sign my petition I plan on sending to all my good friends whom in turn will, hopefully, send it to theirs and so on.

Please.. this whole thing is just a discrimination against a minority that people don't like. To those who voted yes, I hope you're happy that you've ruined the lives of many couples you don,t even know. Bravo, be proud.

For now.
