I'll update about the day the day after the day has passed. Um, if that makes any sense! xD Alrighty, here we go. Wish me luck, everyone!



Day One

Just barely managed to get 1 800 words in, though since I finished at 1am the next day, does that really count? Either way, I hate what I wrote - beginnings are hard. Trying to find a good soundtrack. Any suggestions? Preferably something with more music than lyrics; instrumentals and soundtracks are great.


Day Two

Forgot to update this yesterday. >.> Wrote enough today, and finally got into the swing of things. I don't hate what I write as much anymore, and I've got a decent working soundtrack.
I've got to stop staying up until midnight, though.


Day Three
Almost managed to write two days worth today! Had fun doing a group writing session with =Scyoni and ~DrowDagger. I'll probably go to bed on time tonight. 8D
I need to stop looking back at what I wrote, though. >.<


Day Four
I failed today. Literally. I only wrote 500 words and I feel really bad. Going to try and catch up, though. No, wait, I was ahead... Nevermind.


Day Five
Too tired to go past 1 800 words today. OTL But I'm finally getting into the action and good parts of my novel...I think. I have no plan, just facts about the world I'm writing about. There's only a few things I really want to do.
Unfortunately, I'm starting to get really stressed and overloaded with all this stuff I have to do this month. :ohnoes:


Day Six and Seven
Spent some time with my mom on Friday and went to bed early because I had to wake up early on Saturday to go to play practice, and then I worked until 9 right after and work just kills my creativity.
In short, I didn't write anything on both these days. :ohnoes: But at least I'm not stressed anymore!


Day Eight and Nine
Should probably try updating these the day of instead of the day after... Anyways, wrote up a storm yesterday and caught up on the word count. Today, eh, I wasn't really feeling it so I pretty much hate everything I wrote. Well, whatever, I think this is more of a first draft than anything else... Plus I'm not the greatest first-person pov writer. >.<
The website refuses to load at the moment; hopefully it'll start working before the end of tonight.


Final Entry
Okay, I'm not updating this anymore. -makes a grr face- I keep forgetting about the poor journal anyways, so, like... Yeah. -pats- I'm still in this, though, even if my word count hasn't gone up. I. Will. Win. This!

For those of you who don't know, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year, with my novel "Moderately Well Lit." I haven't exactly drawn much about it...but I'm really pumped for November! I can totally do this!

Also, in slightly less optimistic news, I've got to work Halloween night. OTL That means this'll be my first year that I don't go trick-or-treating. Which sucks, because I have a really awesome costume to show off (again) this year. >: Ah, poop, this sort of thing happens when you get a job, even part-time. I'll be hanging out with =Scyoni at the very least, though, afterwards. That should be fun. :)

I'll try and get some pictures to upload.

It was called "Professor Layton and the Curious Village." Originally, my mom had bought the puzzle game when she bought a DS. I saw her play through some puzzles and I wanted to give it a shot, unaware of the addiction I would soon develop.

I raced through the Curious village, taking 4 days (or 13 hours) to beat it. It was so freaking awesome! Then I found out there were sequels, and that the second one was already in North America. "Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box" is definitely my favourite out of the two (and I hate love stories), but I love it all. The puzzles, the characters, the story line. I can't wait until they release the third one over here! :heart:

Anywho, expect some art later. I'm already doing a meme (in the Professor Layton style, but I might stop that. It's hard. ;A; )

Anyways, so, basically, school started for a lot of kids today. Tomorrow is when I start and, eh, I don't know if I'm excited or terrified or what. I mean, I didn't do all that much this summer. Kind of. I dunno, I barely remember it. I have a horrible memory. I just remember that it was cold, always so cold...

Oh, yeah, I got my driver's license and turned seventeen. Yay!

Well, it's my 'last year' this year, which is technically not true because I'm going for an extra year to take the rest of the courses I want to take. No spares for Khrysteen. OTL But, I'll live.

Basically, that's all I felt like saying. School. Yay. -twirls a flag- Enjoy. And I gotta get back to my homework. :ohnoes:

So, just came back from the movie theatres. In case you didn't clue in from the title of my journal, I went to see G.I. Joe.

First off, I'd like to say it was a great movie. Really. The plot comes together, though it's predictable and a little cheesy at points. There's enough action and humour to keep you entertained and I didn't think the acting was too bad.

Though, three things I must mention that kind of bothers me, which means possible spoilers, or just 'duh' moments seeing as it's been out a week already.


Destro seemed a little small to me. He better build up some muscle for the next movie or I'm going to be sad.

Baroness loses all her badass points the moment she 'remembers' she loves Duke. Plus, she's not Russian. >:

Cobra Commander has the ugliest mask I have ever seen. But that doesn't matter much I supposed.



Anywho, that's about it. Otherwise, yay! G.I. Joe was a fun movie, go see it, any fans out there should know that it is its own canon/universe/whatever you want to call it. I'm going to go do stuff now.

Pretty much every single freakin' day this summer we've had rain. And, if it's not raining, it's cold and/or windy. OTL Not much of a summer, if you ask me, but what'll you do?

I'm gone for almost a week without warning and no one wonders where I went? :ohnoes: I am upset. Well, then again, I did manage to occasionally get on via iPod Touch, but you can't really do much on there... Still, why did no one care? -shot-

Anyways, for those of you who are wondering and/or care, I bought a new computer. Yahoo! Now I'm broke. >: But it's a lot nicer, newer, prettier and I love it already. Got Microsoft Office 2007, had no problem transferring all my old files onto this computer (thanks to my external hard drive.) Only problem I did have was with Photoshop and Inkscape (which I now have to reinstall), and I totally forget to save my bazillion fonts and brushes. Urgh... OTL That'll take a while.

Of course, I clearly had a bunch of trouble setting up the wireless on this thing... Also, the first one was defective... Meh.

While I Was Gone
So, while I was internet-less (and computer-less for about two days), I managed to do...other stuff. Mom bought me a nice new scanner for my birthday. I almost can't believe I'm going to be 17 in 4 days. O: I'm getting old.

Also went out and got my G1. First try! :D Not that the test was hard or anything...though I did get three wrong on each test... Went to see Transformers again, made a list of all my favourite characters that died and then proceeded to lose it, rediscovered my love for Cars, and did nothing else. 8D

Well, that's it for today. Still got some work to do before I go out for supper (memére's birthday). Later.

So, I didn't make the cut. Frankly, I'm quite alright with that! :D I mean, sure, it would have been awesome if I had made it, but I didn't expect to. I mostly auditioned so I could prove to myself that I could, and I'm proud. So, I'll leave the entry up in my gallery. XD

But, now I have time to do other stuff. I think that's what I'm most happy about. Free time. I'm too lazy for an art tournament, anyways.

Summer Plans
Without the distraction of the OCT, I have time to do other stuff. Firstly, I need to clean my room. I'll probably just do a little bit a day, but I already started on it.

Secondly, more time outside. Must. Do. OTL

Next, I gotta work on some AP Art stuff for school. I only have 5 pieces to work on, and I already have a plan for one of them. I think I can finish them before school starts in August.

Also, I'm turning 17 in August. ;A; I'm getting old. I don't want to get older. I like having few responsibilities and expectations, not working (not that that'll help anymore) and being carefree for the rest of my life. -attempts to freeze time-

And, finally, I'm saving up for a computer. Yesir, a new computer. A Gateway Intel Core 2 Quad 8200 2.33GHz Computer (I totally copy/pasted that by the way) which will set me back over $1 000, but it'll be worth it if I can play games without lagging every other second. Plus, new computers are fun. I can save that up by...the end of the summer, assuming I don't go on a spending binge or anything.

And, yeah, that's it. XD Oh, right, gotta work on personal art and writing and stuff. I'm trying to get myself to finish the NTOR fanfic. Besides, the movie came out, mine has a more awesome plot, and I have other stuff to start writing that I can't possibly let myself start until I'm done this. So, there.

What plans do you guys have?

Okay, funny thing. Apparently, I had to work today, and it took a call from my manager to say that I was late to figure it out. >.< Ah, well. Plus, I feel pretty crappy right now, and I didn't get any of my comic done... I'll upload it tomorrow. Guaranteed.

Also, I need to stop sleeping in. Maybe that's why I'm sick. :shrug:

Not that I don't like my Smudge Journal, just that, well... I'm bored. So, I found this one and I like it, and it'll be a good place holder while I work on my next one. It'll probably be easier to change the image and such than the Smudge one, because most of what I achieved there was by accident. XD


In other news, I'm just about done my audition for :iconthereal-oct:'s tournament. The refs look great, but I'm not too happy with my comic. It's all pencil sketch, and though it has nice speech bubbles and a border, it still looks shabby. I'm going to try and do some nice line art and maybe colour, but I'm definitely handing it in tonight. Expect a mass upload from me later.

Also, after going to see Transformers: RotF for the second time, I'm no longer amazed by the sheer adrenaline rush it caused and noticed the thing they tried to cover up with it. I've come to the conclusion that the only reason I like the twins is because I imagined them as another set of more stylish twins. I mean, they're not bad, and they cussed a lot... I think they put them in there for kid appeal, really. But, did this look like a kids movie to you? I don't think so. It'd be like throwing something cute in Terminator to entertain the kids while the humans are being torn apart by said cute thing. Just...no.

But, honestly, they (as in writers and director) could have spent more time on other robots with more history and a wider fanbase than Mudflap and Skids, or the ridiculous amount of Sam freakin' out. Like Sideswipe. He was cool, wickedly cool, even if he was only in it for 10 seconds and was silver. He shoulda been red. Red is much cooler. Or that blue 'bot that barely anyone noticed. He could have been cool, too. And Ratchet and Ironhide, who barely had any role to play this time around.

Anyways, there's a lot wrong with it, but it's still good. The plot moves way too fast without there actually being much of a plot...and again there was too much human interaction and not enough robot characterization. Some things were thrown in there just for the hell of being thrown in there.

But I still like Wheelie. And Devastator. And Alice.

Okay, rant over. I'm going to go finish my AatR audition, and then I'm going to work on some design concept for Forge and Cruise, hopefully.

The movie, that is. Holy crap, I am grinning ear to ear and I will definitely be going to see it again. What movie? Well, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen of course! Don't worry, I'm not posting spoilers. Go see it for yourself!

But, of course, I must comment... The twins, mainly. Hell, I swear I was going to hate them. From what I read and saw, they looked like they were going to be annoying. No. Oh, hell, no, they were hilarious! I loved every moment with them in it. Them, and Leo, and Wheelie. Yes, love Wheelie folks. For once, he is awesome. And Devastator made me squeal with glee. Heck, I was practically cheering during the whole movie.

Also, has anyone noticed that this is the most brutal, kick ass Optimus ever? Anyone? I mean, even in the first movie...and even more so in this one... Even Bumblebee is vicious on occasions. O.o

But, I am going to whine about one thing. Robots. Sure, there's plenty of Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream (now that I think of it, he was much better in this one), The Fallen, whatever. The 'important' characters, I suppose. But what about Ratchet? Ironhide? That blue 'bot? Even Sideswipe, who looked and sounded awesome (exactly the way I would picture Sideswipe to be, minus a certain yellow twin), they weren't really much important. Just kinda...in the background. Like those soldiers that keep flying through the air when they get shot.

And now, I leave with you this final thought: Big balls. Good day.

The Veiled Threat, also known as the prequel novel for RotF, aka: Transformers 2. Being the geek that I am, I had to read it. And, you know, it wasn't that bad. Wasn't great, either, but if you liked the movie and enjoy a quick read (took me only 3-4 hours to read), I would strongly suggest picking it up. Besides, the fight scenes are epic.

And, now for the rant. This will most definitely contain spoilers, possibly even for the movie itself, but I'll try to keep it to a minimun.

:iconimhappyplz:

Okay, onwards!

Firstly, all the new characters they introduce... It's kind of confusing at first. I mean, there's already, like, 4 new Autobots on Earth, and a bazillion Decepticons for some reason that get introduced sparodically and then are never mentioned again. A bunch get killed, too. Lots and lots of epic deaths.

'Cept Beachbreak. >: Why, Beachbreak, why?!

And, frig... Simmons, I love you. "You--can't--have--pastrami--on--rye--with--mayonnaise!" XD But he's really gone insane. :| I have a feeling that he's going to be a nasty badguy later on. Or, at least, he better be.

And Beachbreak. Oh, god, I loved the little 'bot. I would have loved to see him in the movie (I wonder how they're going to explain everything that happened in the movie...). And Knockout. Moterbikes rule, man! And even Longarm was awesome. Old and experienced. And a towtruck. And always hangs out with Knockout, who's young, inexperienced and a little too enthusiastic. But I love him, too!

And Petr. Best. Man. Ever. Russian, retired Spetsnaz, has a battery rifle (I want a battery rifle), and funny as hell.

Oh, and Barricade's back. -shot- Or, at least, in the novel he is. And there's a crab Decepticon. Seriously, a mini-red crab Decepticon. /: Real effective.

EDIT! Oh, yeah, kiribian time. If anyone can get a screenshot of my 10k, I will give you either a sketch, or a chibi CG. Your choice.

EDIT 2! :iconhikarino: got it. Hurray! Thank you to everyone who's made DeviantArt an enjoyable experience for me.

No, this has nothing to do with Transformers, actually. Though I am quite said that Animated is over. OTL I really hope they (the powers that be) change their mind.

Anywho, I went to the hospital the other day. Nothing serious, just a gastro... Gastra... So the doctors could put a camera down my throat to check my stomach. /: Because I've been having stomach problems. And I'm still not quite sure what they said I have, because--

--I have no idea what happened after that. I was in the hospital, had an IV in my hand. I was wheeled into the room, got this funky spray in my throat to numb it, had a needle shoved into my IV then... Nothing. :| I woke up 45 minutes after, apparently, but I don't remember last night at all. Just parts. Like walking up stairs, sitting on a chair and drinking chocolate milk, throwing up - twice - and arguing with my brother about who was going to make the Kool-Aid.

I have never slept so much in a day. OTL And I still feel kind of funky right now. Not quite loopy, but not all there either. If there was ever a reason not to do drugs...

Also, for those of you that don't know, I am auditioning for the Artists at the Ready OCT: Original Character Tournament. I already have my characters picked out, the refs drawn and linearted and the comic planned. Unfortunately, school and work and some personal projects are getting in the way. Ah, well.

Speaking of school, exams are starting on the 16th, and we get out on the 19th. That's earlier than when we were supposed to get out, so I'm rather pleased. :3 And the OCT audition isn't due until July 1st, so there's still plenty of time.

Later.

OTL I do not like. >:

No, wait, I get it! It's just the same as CSS, eh, only now you can save them and such. Neato! No more copying and posting, no thank you. Hurray!

Now, in other news, went to see Star Trek today. Decent movie, not that I know anything about the Star Trek continuity. (Well, I watched Voyager for a while.) However, there were awesome previews at the beginning. And by awesome, I mean G.I. Joe and Transformers. Go, Baroness! Devastator!

Jeez, I sound like some villain-fan now. >.>

Also, watched the first part of Endgame. I love you, Shockwave. (Again with the villains! :ohnoes: ) And poor Arcee. For the first time in my life I actually like her, and she's just constantly abused and taken advantage of. -pats- We need more non-bitchy femmebots.

And, that's about it.

Tadah! Guess who's back? Khrysteen! Yay! -insert cheering here-

Okay, so I doubt there'll be a parade. For those of you who were wondering, I left town to visit family for the Easter weekend and got back about... Half an hour ago. Monoxide alarm blaring and all. (Am I concerned? Slightly. Only one was going off, and it was old. That, and my canary is still alive.)

So, nothing much to tell about my vacation. We ate, a lot. Went to church, had an chocolate hunt (yum!), lazed around and did pretty much nothing.

Now, time to answer my messages and catch up on stuff. Later, folks.



Not really 'tagged,' actually.

What’s going on:
A) Choose one or more of your original -Transformer- characters.

B) Have them answer the following questions.
C) Write the bots/cons responses in script format.
D) Tag/shoot some people with this thing

Whhhaaat? No squishies? >: Darn. Well, might as well give Group 6 a time to shine, seeing as how the number is perfect.

Characters:
1. Riot
2. Smudge
3. Forge
4. Cruise

1. Introduce the character(s)!

Riot: Shouldn't every know us by now?
Cruise: I think the question is kind of required for all memes like this.
Riot: Ah.


2. Are you Male, Female or Something else?

Riot: Well, I'm the only femmebot of the group.
Forge: I dunno, Cruise still seems to be on the fence.
Cruise: >( FORGE!
Forge: What? I can't help it you look more like a femme than a mech.
Cruise: That's enough of that!


3. What universe are you from?

Smudge: W-Well, we were originally made for the live-action...
Riot: But Khrys popped us in Animated, too.
Forge: I think I like Animated more.
Riot: Same.
Smudge: I-I don't! O:
Cruise: What are you talking about? You died in Bayformers!
Smudge: T^T It's s-so much easier to be d-dead, though.
Riot: But we'll be answering from the Bayformer's verse, since more people recognize us from there.


4. What's your height?

Forge: We never actually meas--
Riot: Oh ho! I knew this quesion was coming, so I took the liberty of measuring us all! :3
cruise: When did you manage that?!
Riot: I'm 15' 3", and Smudge is three inches taller than me, then Cruise is 19' 11" and Forge is 20 11". Now, as for how much we weights...
Forge: How in Pit did you weigh us without our knowing?!
Riot: I didn't, though. I was going to say I don't know. >:


5. Are you a ‘virgin’ so to say? XD

Forge: I'll let you guess.
Cruise: Forge...
Forge: What? I'm an adult, Cruise. And who are you to scold me?!
Riot: O.O Woah, guys.
Smudge: I d-don't think I'm old enough t-to answer this question...


6. Do you have kids?

Forge: ....
Cruise: No.
Riot: I think this is a sensitive question.


7. What's your favorite food?

Smudge: We're all-all robots. We d-don't eat 'food.'


8. What's your allegiance?

Riot: Heh, easy.
Cruise: We're all Autobots.
Forge: Mostly.
Smudge: D:
Cruise: Forge, stop that!
Forge: What? I'm scary enough. Can't I joke around a little?
Smudge: D:
Forge: ...Apparently not.


9. Do you hate anyone?

Riot: Not really... I don't think I ever hated anyone but myself... A-And that was only for bit, I swear!
Cruise: -glances at Forge-
Forge: Oooh, yeah. >(
Smudge: Nope.
Riot: ...That was quick.
Smudge: I'm dead. Who do I have to hate?
Riot: Hey, now! No need to bring that up again!


10. Do you love/care for anyone?

Cruise: Are these questions going to be getting more sensitive?
Riot: Everyone! All the Autobots, but especially Forge and Cruise and Smudge... Oh, and twins, of course!
Cruise: Seriously, I mean, if you start asking for our deepest secrets...
Smudge: W-Well, I-I mean, I care for everyone, but I care for R-Riot the most...
Riot: Really?! ♥
Smudge: Y-you h-heard th-that?! -pan... ]]> *Ayumi-Kuroda Three's the Magic Number http://Ayumi-Kuroda.deviantart.com/journal/24011299/ http://Ayumi-Kuroda.deviantart.com/journal/24011299/ Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:06:52 PDT

What's this? What's this?! A custom CSS journal?! HOLY CRAP!

Anyways, this took me forever to get done. I mean, for one thing I know nothing about CSS coding. I had to look at a few free journals and tutorials to figure out how to start off, then I played around with some of the line lines to see what they do. It was an interesting learning experience.

So, it's not great, I know. A pretty simple journal design made with crappy graphics and skills and whatnot. Whatever. I'm proud of myself and am glad I managed to accomplish this.

Unfortunately, it's addicting. OTL I wanna try to make more now, but not right now. Break time. Fun time. I haven't had some real downtime for a while now.
