                <description><![CDATA[ 'Tis just around the corner. And on Halloween, I'm going to be posting a new image, as well as a list of spooky and weird movies, books, and music to help all the darklings on Deviantart survive the Christmas season. Trust me, I too have been on the verge of grabbing the next drugstore clerk I see by the throat and demanding they add more variety to their seasonal track list. <br /><br />Eh-hem...but here's the catch. I'm asking YOU to tell me who and what to draw. Is there a character in my gallery you find particularly fetching? Perhaps a costume you've been dying to see them in? Or do you have any other twisted suggestions? Post your demands here. Do eet. Do eet NAOW!!<br /><br />And have a hellishly-happy Halloween.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It occurred to me at some point in my daily routine of ingesting caffeinated beverages and trying to appease the humor of loud Jewish people that I've been wasting my rambling and random internet finds on this journal. So we're re-locating. In short, I've started a new livejournal.<br /><br />You can access it HERE --> <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://pepsiswinger.livejournal.com/">[link]</a><br /><br />Just save the link and you too can keep up with my bitching and youtube finds and so forth. There will also be doodles/inferior CGs that you will not see on this site (you know, unless a million people demand I post them and I give in like the spineless whimp I am), and, yes, plentiful Twilight bashing.<br /><br />That's all I have to say on the matter. Till then folks.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, this happened about an hour ago, and I thought I'd share it.<br /><br />So my brother was up in Santa Cruz with his friends today, and was due home late. At the same time, my parents and I were searching the house and our yard in the dark because I'd forgotten to lock our cat in. After an extensive search, we gave up and decided to wait for the cat to turn up.<br /><br />Now, I'd like you to keep in mind that my dad hates our cat. If he was in a room with the cat and Osama Bin Laden and given a gun with one bullet, he'd probably use it on the cat. Just thought I'd let you know.<br /><br />Anyway, the cat finally turned up, and my dad came into my room to tell me so. At the exact moment that dad opened his mouth to speak, my brother came in the front door and called out, 'I'm home!'<br /><br />Dad: Well, Puke Face is home.<br /><br />Me: So I hear.<br /><br />My dad was halfway down the hallway before he finally got it. And me? I'm kind of praying that my brother got drunk or something. That would be awesome.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay. So, recently, the cast of the Twilight films made their annual, unwarrented appearance at Comic Con. And granted, the event has had some other non-comic related goodies that were kind of awesome (Alice in Wonderland, anyone?). But this time, we feature sneak preview clips from the movie, 'New Moon', and I'd like you to watch the first one. Continue reading after you watch it.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lyldfq0kQOc">[link]</a><br /><br />Got it? Good.<br /><br />So. Pretentious Bella learns to ride a motorcycle. And Jacob Black, who is probably the most sensible and likable male character in the franchise thus far (don't worry, that won't last long), is trying to give her lessons, but all the bitch hears is EDWARDEDWARDEDWARD. Then she gets in an accident, no surprises there.<br /><br />Needless to say, she's bleeding, which brilliant Mr. Black points out. Bella apologizes. And then Jacob says...'You're apologizing for bleeding?' And Bella actually looks like she's starting to get how ridiculous that sounds.<br /><br />I feel a spark of hope at this point. Suddenly, I think to myself, 'Is this it? Are we at last going to acknowledge that Bella is in an abusive, restricted relationship where she has to apologize even when she gets HURT? Are we finally going to let the fangirls in on the idea that maybe, just maybe, this whole romance with Edward thing isn't as perfect as they truly think, and that this Indian werewolf might be the last grip on humanity versus sexuality?'<br /><br />And then Jacob takes his shirt off. And everybody in the audience forgets what happened before that.<br /><br />These are the fans of Twilight. These are their standards. If aliens ever wish to study our ways, these clips alone are proof that young girls will abandon all reason for a popular person's bare chest.<br /><br />And incase you were wondering, the second clip they showed was Robert Pattinson taking his shirt off. I don't think I need to tell you how that went over.<br /><br />By the way...this is probably what happened when most of those girls went home ---> <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOh7FYqYNwc">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

You can find it if you scroll down till you see that banner of me (in a photo for once!) and the cover of whatever book got victimized this time.<br /><br />Seriously though, feel free to recommend books for me to put together little 'soundtracks' for. God knows I'm not one to pass up a book.<br /><br />But I swear to God, if you even suggest that I try a Stephenie Meyer book, the playlist will consist of nothing but five consecutive hours of flatulence. You were warned.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know, I probably dish these things out more annually than I menstruate, but it hit me a couple hours ago that I probably should have done one sooner on account of my replacement iPod. So, suck it up. And do one too. <br /><br />Songs:<br /><br />Opening Credits:<br />'Jumpin' Jack Flash' - The Rolling Stones <br />(It was only after filming the kick-ass, budget-busting opening musical number to this song when the director was informed that this movie is not, in fact, about Jumpin' Jack, but some hermit girl named Sydney. So the scene was ultimately cut from the film, and cost us the Oscar for Best Picture. It can be seen on the DVD.)<br /><br />Waking Up:<br />'And All That Jazz' - Chicago<br />(Instead, what we wound up with was a complete recreation of the scene from Chicago, with me in Catherine Zeta-Jones's place. Needless to say, reception was less than satisfactory).<br /><br />First Day at School:<br />'family values' - the missing: <br />(There's nothing like getting in based on a legacy to make everyone hate you)<br /><br />Falling in Love:<br />'Boys On The Radio' - Hole <br />(God yes, those guys and their music...yum...this is SO me)<br /><br />Fight Song:<br />'Cruel Intentions' - Wicked Wisdom<br />(Well, these things never begin with GOOD ones. *Cracks her knuckles*)<br /><br />Breaking Up:<br />'My Body is a Cage' - Arcade Fire <br />(...GOD this makes me feel ugly)<br /><br />Prom:<br />'Make You Believe' - Jessicka & Messy <br />(You'd best start believing in corsages Miss Turner; yer in one!)<br /><br />Life's Ok:<br />'Candyman' - Christina Aguilera <br />(So does this mean I'm smothering my pain with junk food or drugs? Either way, I'm anticipating an intervention)<br /><br />Mental Breakdown:<br />'Cats Cradle' - Humanwine <br />(THEY SAY THE SKY WILL COME DOWN IN FLAMES...BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN BUUUUURRNIIINNGGG...)<br /><br />Driving:<br />'The Runner' - Rory Merritt Stitt <br />(...um, Mr. Krader? You can get blood and Nikes out of your windows, right...?<br /><br />Flashback:<br />'Black Spring Rising' - Queenadreena <br />(I don't think this memory really happened; maybe I watched a family member eat roadkill or something)<br /><br />Getting back Together:<br />'Floyd the Barber' - Nirvana <br />(Hello lover; this is my good friend Floyd. If you don't get your hands off that anorexic tanning bed addict and get over here this minute, he's going Sweeney Todd on your ass. Kapeesh?)<br /><br />Wedding:<br />&#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />enny' - Idina Menzel <br />(Okay, so we're on a budget here and my wedding dress used to be a bedsheet. It's the thought that counts)<br /><br />Birth of A Child:<br />'Like Wow!' - Leslie Carter <br />(I'm like, totally stoked! An infant!)<br /><br />Final Battle:<br />'This is Halloween' - Danny Elfman <br />(So get your fucking Christmas decorations out of the store! *Sets the singing Santas on fire* Wait your goddamn turn!)<br /><br />Death Scene:<br />&#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />umpkinhead' - Self <br />(COOOOL, I'm gonna get killed by the Headless Horseman! Ichabod Crane, eat your heart out!)<br /><br />Funeral Song:<br />'Rats' - Rasputina <br />(Funeral? What funeral? As far as the world's concerned, I'm food for vermin)<br /><br />End Credits:<br />'One Step Closer' - Linkin Park <br />(Probably how the people in the audience feel about this film)<br /><br />After Credit Twist:<br />'Farther Away' - Evanescence (And this just means everyone went home before the twist ever happened)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Needless to say, I got an evil look on my face (you know, like the one Jim Carrey gets in, 'Bruce Almighty' right before he sabotages Steve Carrell on live television?) and simply couldn't leave well enough alone. Long story short...go to my webcam for major LOLZ.<br /><br />And have a nice day.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi boys and girls, lovely day, ain't it?<br /><br />So here's the deal. As you've probably figured out by now, being on ADD pills and stuck in my house all day and night has been screwing with my head. Among other things...I'm very stuck when it comes to drawing. So I need to give my creative process a work-out.<br /><br />And what do I ask of you? Simple. Send me an OC. Do you have an original character that you wouldn't mind someone else drawing for a change? I would love to draw that character. Leave links, descriptions, what have you in the comment box and do a stuck girl a favor. <br /><br />Hugs & Kisses,<br />Sydney<br /><br />P.S. <br />Random confession; I actually watched, 'Die Hard' for the first time last night and it's a thousand times cooler than I thought it would be.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ AND NOW, BACK TO DUMB SHIT. GOD BLESS IT.<br /><br />1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18 and find line 4:<br />"... blood, spatter spatter spatter bursting spatter spatter..." (Don't I just have the most wonderful collection of literature in my room?)<br /><br />2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you reach?<br />My bed.<br /><br />3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?<br />Repo! The Genetic Opera <br /><br />4. Without looking, guess what time it is:<br />5:45<br /><br />5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?<br />6:00<br /><br />6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?<br />Marilyn Manson screaming a song about an angel with scabbed wings who's hobbies seem to include salvation, taking ones belongings, and rape. <br /><br />7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?<br />About two hours ago, to go to therapy. It's really the only reason I leave the house anymore.<br /><br />8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at?<br />The screen?<br /><br />9. What are you wearing?<br />Black jeans, black boots, my Jack Skellington hoodie, and my Johnny the Homicidal Maniac t-shirt<br /><br />10. Did you dream last night?<br />Uh-huh; I dreamt that I was in the hospital for, among other things, a broken leg, and by pure coincidence, my friend Noah and I were roommates (he was apparently having some kind of psychotic episode), and then it started snowing, so in spite of my broken leg, I put on a ton of mis-matched clothes and went to frollic in the ice.<br /><br />11. When did you last laugh?<br />Yesterday, when I imagined what it would be like to duct tape my cat to the ceiling fan.<br /><br />12. What are on the walls of the room you are in?<br />A bunch of posters (most of them somehow related to Johnny Depp), postcards, drawings, people's business cards, and a row of thumbtacks to hold the necklaces I never wear.<br /><br />13. Seen anything weird lately?<br />Well, like most people, I also look in the mirror on a daily basis.<br /><br />14. What do you think of this quiz?<br />It's a great way to pretend I'm doing something productive.<br /><br />15. What is the last film you saw?<br />Once again, Repo! The Genetic Opera. God, it was so bad it was almost good (although I absolutely had a conniption when Joan Jett made a cameo).<br /><br />16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?<br />A nice little house in Portland; then I'd become a miser so I never have to work.<br /><br />17. Tell me something about you that I don't know about.<br />I do a great impression of Krusty the Clown.<br /><br />18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?<br />Make my dad stop acting like such a freak every time some minor inconvenience occurs.<br /><br />19. Do you like to dance?<br />I confess; every time I hear a Mitch Ryder song, I can't stop myself, and I look REALLY stupid.<br /><br />20. George Bush:<br />Deserves to be run over with a speeding locomotive.<br /><br />21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?<br />Renesmee. No, I'm serious.<br /><br />22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?<br />Paradox<br /><br />23. Would you ever consider living abroad?<br />Now really. Hasn't Bush tormented the foreigners enough?<br /><br />24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the Pearly Gates?<br />"Of COURSE I made Johnny Depp an actor so you'd grow up happy. Why do YOU think Edward Scissorhands was released the same year you were born?"<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A GUIDE TO SARCASTICALLY CELEBRATING<br /><br />So I don't know if you've heard, but apparently Barack Obama was sworn into office this morning. It was a small ordeal, very brief, very simple, and only aired on a few local networks.<br /><br />*Snort*<br /><br />Okay, sorry, I'm trying to keep a straight face while writing that and I'm just imagining all the people who actually think I'm serious and are preparing long letters to cuss out my ignorance. REVENGE! AHAHAHA!<br /><br />Now, anywho, it's true, he's in. Our man is in, and contrary to what my emo brother (aka Captain Nasal-Drip) has been suggesting all year, he was NOT gunned down or stabbed or pushed down a long flight of stairs. Personally, I believe that if it did happen, it wouldn't have been a tenth as dramatic as that speech he gave. And speaking of which, don't you think it's hilarious that he fumbled up getting sworn in, but he didn't miss a beat or have to look down at notes for the speech? <br /><br />Controversial comments aside, this is a time of celebration. My family and our friends are hours away from having a huge chilli party. But if you're lacking chilli or friends, I have a few suggestions on how to properly celebrate;<br /><br />1. Do your fellow citizens a social service by locking yourself in a closet so they can't hear you jump up and down screaming <br />2. Find a picture of Bush and throw your shoes at it<br />3. Drinking Game! Watch the entire inauguration and take a drink for every time anyone refers to Obama breaking boundaries by being black (bonus drink for every time he gets that God-if-I-never-have-to-hear-this-'black president'-shit-again' look on his face)<br />4. Watch 'Blazing Saddles' and shout 'Barack' every time they say Sheriff Bart's name(And with that in mind...am I the only one who thinks it would have been awesome if he began his speech with, ''Scuse me while I whip this out'?)<br />5. Make an inventory of all the black and white things in your house (if my parents are reading this, yes, I do count)<br />6. Listen to the song 'Come So Far' from 'Hairspray' with the volume way up; feel free to sing along as off-key and mavericky as you please<br />7. LUAU!!!<br /><br />And with that being said, I conclude with a dilemma. Which sounds better?<br /><br />1. President Barack Obama<br />2. Ex-President George W. Bush<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WHAT ELSE COULD I DO?<br /><br />You all know the routine; whenever one of my journal entries becomes ridiculously out-dated, I do a shuffle playlist. And considering that the election is over and Obama is on his way to the Oval Office (*SQUEAL!!!*), the last entry has got to go. So...without further interruption...life on shuffle. Feel free to do one too and send me your own results.<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Opening Credits: 'What Do You Do With a B.A. in English/It Sucks to Be Me' - Avenue Q<br />(Somewhere out there, my mother is laughing her ass off and purchasing a shovel big enough to load everything of mine out onto the curb, me included)<br /><br />Waking up: 'Fire With Fire' - The Gossip<br />(This could either be interpretted as me striving to make everyone else as miserable as I am in the morning, or my friend Noah constantly insisting that I am Satan and I wake up in Hell)<br /><br />First day of college: 'Tell Me Lies' - Natalie Cole<br />(I still don't believe that college is going to be so great, and nobody's managed to convince me otherwise)<br /><br />Falling in love: ' Pulling Your Insides Out' - Jill Tracy<br />(I just don't know how to handle my emotions!)<br /><br />Kiss scene: 'Mata Hari' - The Atomic Fireballs<br />(Mata Hari is apparently, according the lyrics, the queen of night and makes you want to scream and curse. That's one hell of a smokin' kiss if you ask me)<br /><br />Fight Song: 'Complicated' - The Cliks<br />(It took us 4 and a half weeks to film it and my co-star broke his nose and two fingers, but I think it got its point across)<br /><br />Breaking up: 'My Leftovers' - Porcelain and the Tramps<br />(Is this supposed to refer to the former significant others?)<br /><br />Graduating college: 'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' - Bowling For Soup<br />(They just love a girl who didn't go; it means they're the intellectually dominant ones, even when they're wrong)<br /><br />My big break: 'Lucy' - Anna Tsuchiya<br />(It's short for Lucifer, pathetic mortals)<br /><br />Mental breakdown: 'American Psycho' - My Ruin<br />(Time to channel my inner Christian Bale. Wait, he kind of sucks...make that inner Jack Nicholson. Now where's my ax...?)<br /><br />Driving song: 'The Button Has Been Pushed' - Stolen Babies<br />(Oh crap. You know how in television and movies, there's always a really cool car with a button you should never ever push lest something bad happens, and some idiot always pushes it and something bad happens? Thank god I don't drive. It's someone else's problem now.)<br /><br />FlashBack: 'Not Good Enough' - Anti-Hero<br />(Just reflecting on my inferiority. Again.)<br /><br />Getting back together: 'Unclean' - Otep (Oh, I get it, the significant other I broke up with became a junkie in my abscence and now I have to clean them up. Or maybe the other way around. Meh.)<br /><br />Wedding: ' Pictures Of You' - The Cure<br />(Boy, that's one hell of a wedding photographer we got)<br /><br />Birth of child: 'Lose Control' - Evanescence<br />(Well...have you ever met a woman who kept it together while giving birth to a bowling ball?)<br /><br />Paying dues: 'Necklace' - Hannah Fury<br />(Why is it made of rope? Come here and I'll explain...)<br /><br />Moment of triumph: 'Imaginary' - Evanescence <br />(Nothing like delusions of grandeur to get you through the bitter side-effect of life called reality)<br /><br />Final battle: 'Stumpside' - Rasputina<br />(Man, my epic battles take place in the lamest places)<br /><br />Death scene: 'Brand New Love' - Deadsy<br />(...so I take it my significant other isn't going to be that sad after I croak, huh?)<br /><br />Funeral scene: 'Eyee' - Smashing Pumpkins<br />('Darling, did you hear a disgruntled sound coming from the coffin?''It was probably the wind&#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br />End credits: 'Move Along' - The All-American Rejects<br />(Nobody's really taking my demise very seriously, are they?)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

THIS ---> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQGsP8mnHsg&feature=bz303">[link]</a> <---- THIS, my friends, is that little thing I've been nagging about for some time now. It's Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention. I want everyone to watch it, and show it to everyone they know, whether they're voting for him, against him, or not at all. This is really important to me because, quite frankly, if McCain becomes president, then I'm packing my bags and moving to Canada, and I kind of LIKE living here. It's my responsibility as a voter for the first time in my life to give everybody hell about this. So if you're sick of hearing about Obama, well, it's nothing personal, the country just kind of NEEDS him. So watch the video. And vote, god damn it. I remember what it was like to be underage and find out the wrong guy won, and to be furious because if me and my friends had been given the opportunity, our votes might have mattered. Let's not make the same mistakes this time, okay?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ AND THIS IS THE PART WHERE I RUN LIKE HELL<br /><br />So I suppose the last minute is as good a time as any to tell everyone that this weekend, my friend Claire, our moms, and me are crossing the California state line to go to Portland for the Stumptown Comics Fest. And what, may you ask, is this fest I speak of? It's a gathering of underground comic artists (or in my case, plain old artists without a sense of direction), and I've been set up with a table where I'll be selling prints, drawing caricatures for $5.00 each, and doing my best to pretend I'm not a recluse. All proceeds go towards building my confidence in my ability to go to these things. <br /><br />For more information on this event and how to actually get there/find me, follow this link ---> <a href="http://www.stumptowncomics.com/">[link]</a> By posting this link, I am now fully enabling you people to track me down and humiliate me in public. Or give me money. Or both. <br /><br />In other news...don't you hate artistic blocks? It's like having Autism; all these wonderful, brilliant ideas swirling around in your brain, and the minute you pick up the tablet pen, crap comes out. Usually the thing to do in situations like these is watch a lot of movies and read lots of books to find something to rip off-I mean inspire you! Thus far, no such success. Cripes.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ SO DO IT TOO AND SHOW ME YOUR RESULTS, WITH GNARLY COMMENTARY INCLUDED<br /><br />It's quite simple; you open your iTunes library, put it on shuffle, and use the song title as an answer to each question. And remember, no cheating.<br /><br />1. If someone says, "Is this okay?" You say?<br />'Say My Name' -Within Temptation<br />(Great; first song and I've already wound up with something suggestive)<br /><br />2. How would you describe yourself?<br />'Run Away!' -Spamalot<br />(It's for your own good)<br /><br />3. What do you like in a guy/girl?<br />'Angelique' -Theatre of Tragedy<br />(Face it; no one on this planet is celestial enough for me, with the exceptions of Johnny Depp and Elijah Kelley. MMMMM...)<br /><br />4. How do you feel today?<br />'Tango: Maureen' -Rent<br />(It's true! I am going insane, there IS a fire in my brain, and I'm not just thinking of drinking gasoline, but as I type this I'm siphoning it from my mother's car!)<br /><br />5. What is your life's purpose?<br />'Movie' -The Birthday Massacre<br />(Am I truly cut out to make a movie? Well, there's that novel I'm almost done writing that I'm completely scared out of my mind to show to anyone because I don't know what they'll think and what if the publishers I send it to don't want it and BLAHBLAHBLAH (I go on for hours)<br /><br />6. What is your motto?<br />'It's The Fear' -Within Temptation<br />(How very suitable. Let's look back, shall we? First there's the previous question, my failed attempt at applying for a job today, and the fact that I'm going in to get my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow. Any questions?)<br /><br />7. What do your friends think of you?<br />'Charmed, I'm Sure' -Circus Contraption<br />(Well, that totally speaks for itself)<br /><br />8. What do you think of your parents?<br />'Stricken' -Disturbed<br />(Microsoft Jerks Word Processor describes 'stricken' as, 'deeply or badly affected by something'. So...yeah.)<br /><br />9. What do you think about very often?<br />'The Nobodies' -Marilyn Manson<br />(So you see ladies and gentlemen, my life is so pathetic that even the people I THINK about are losers)<br /><br />10. What is 2 + 2?<br />'Stay Home' -Self<br />(I never learned because of all the school I missed. Seriously, what the frick is with this question?)<br /><br />11. What do you think of your best friend?<br />'Let Me Be Good to You' -Melissa Manchester<br />O_O Uh...listen...if you're reading this...it's not what you think...<br /><br />12. What do you think of the person you like?<br />'Rats' -Rasputina<br />(Precisely the word that crossed my mind when he described how he would love to pounce on Rupert Grint)<br /><br />13. What is your life story?<br />'God Must Hate Me' -Simple Plan<br />(Well He must. What higher being in their right mind would put up with ME?)<br /><br />14. What do you want to be when you grow up? <br />'Invisible' -Otep<br />("Am I over here? Or am I over HERE...?! AHAHAHAHA!!")<br /><br />15. What do you think of when you see the person you like?<br />'Mind Your Eyes' -Stolen Babies<br />(My face is up here you...oh, who the hell am I kidding?)<br /><br />16. What will you dance to at your wedding?<br />'When You're Evil' -Voltaire<br />(I just want to make sure my significant other knows EXACTLY what they're in for)<br /><br />17. What will they play at your funeral?<br />'Untitled' -Smashing Pumpkins<br />(Yeesh; I guess this means the organist will take it a little too seriously when my family members fail to fill in a song of choice)<br /><br />18. What is your hobby/interest?<br />'Runaway' -P!nk<br />(O-kay, this is the second song on this list called, 'Run Away'. Should I be taking a hint?)<br /><br />19. What is your biggest fear?<br />'Death Won't Save the Day' -Gabriella Kulka<br />(There's nothing after death!! We're all gonna disappear and be born again as TOADS!! AHAHAHA!!)<br /><br />20. What is your biggest secret?<br />'Cure For The Itch' -Linkin Park<br />(Only I know the recipe...so, what do you plan to do to get it from me?)<br /><br />21. What do you think of your friends?<br />'So Close' -Evanescence<br />(Don't worry, though; next time I won't miss)<br /><br />22. What will you post this as?<br />'(Northbound On) Cahuenga' -Scarling<br />(That's it. If the runaway songs weren't a tip-off, the actual destination has sealed the deal. I am GONE)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
But here it is! A body of work in less than 4 minutes! If they don't mind the background music being that of the notorious Jack Off Jill, I could use this as a portfolio. Not too shabby.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ LIFE TO A RANDOM SOUNDTRACK<br /><br />This playlist shuffle has been stolen from Claire. Let's see what terrible things shall come of my 1501 song playlist.<br />
<br />
How are you feeling today?<br />
Just a Girl -No Doubt<br />
(Oh my, I'm having a feminist moment...this is what I get for going to the mall and expecting to find a skirt that actually fits around my large butt...)<br />
<br />
Will you get far in life?<br />
Video Kid -The Birthday Massacre<br />
(I have no idea what this is supposed to mean; maybe it implies I have a future in the movies? Uh...)<br />
<br />
How do your friends see you?<br />
'Vindicated' -Dashboard Confessional<br />
(I am selfish, I am wrong, I am right, I swear I'm right...swear I seem to be a little messed up here)<br />
<br />
Will you get married?<br />
La Vie Boheme -Cast of Rent<br />
(Hm...well, there's a lot of gay kissing during this sequence in the film, so...Claire and I ARE getting married?)<br />
<br />
What is your best friend's theme song?<br />
Self-Made -Otep<br />
(I haven't really gotten the chance to listen to this song yet, so...meh)<br />
<br />
What is the story of your life?<br />
My New Philosophy -Kristin Chenoweth<br />
(The story of my life is the song that I can sing better than any song in the world. I'll leave you to figure that one out)<br />
<br />
What is high school like?<br />
Poor Unfortunate Souls -The Little Mermaid<br />
(This made me laugh for two reasons; 1. It may in fact be the truth and 2. I'd forgotten I even had this song in the first place)<br />
<br />
How can you get ahead in life?<br />
mOBSCENE -Marilyn Manson<br />
(Be obscene, not heard; I like it)<br />
<br />
What is the best thing about your friends?<br />
Hava Nagila -The Barry Sisters<br />
(The best thing about them is that they pretend to respect my religion when in fact this is the only Yiddish song they know that DOESN'T come from Fiddler on the Roof)<br />
<br />
What is in store for this weekend?<br />
Dead to the World -Nightwish<br />
(This is so hilariously accurate that my sides hurt)<br />
<br />
To describe your grandparents?<br />
You Can't Stop the Beat -Hairspray<br />
(I think the last song would have worked better for this one)<br />
<br />
How is your life going?<br />
Like Zis/Like Zat -Dirty Rotten Scoundrels<br />
(Okay, seriously, I've got to cut back on the showtunes)<br />
<br />
What song will they play at your funeral?<br />
Quintessentially Unreal -Jill Tracy<br />
(In honor of my greatest accomplishment in life; having this actual artist read a review I wrote about her and post it on her Myspace page. I wonder if she'll actually show up to play it...)<br />
<br />
How does the world see you?<br />
Miss World -Hole<br />
(I think my mom would willingly back up this one)<br />
<br />
Will you have a happy life?<br />
Attak/Reload -KMFDM<br />
(I...don't know)<br />
<br />
What do your friends really think of you?<br />
Food Pyramid -Marilyn Manson<br />
(Oh god, I fucking knew it! They think I'm FAT!! *Goes on a binge*)<br />
<br />
Do people secretly after you?<br />
One Step Closer -Linkin Park<br />
(I have a stalker...AAAAAAGGH! *Ducks behind the sofa with a knife and a book of matches*<br />
<br />
How can I make myself happy?<br />
Heir of a Dying Day -Lacuna Coil<br />
(It's an ingredient in witches brew! Hair of a dying day! Ha...)<br />
<br />
What should you do with your life?<br />
Damn You -Lullacry<br />
(Then I shall get right to it! DAMN YOU ALL! Damn you and you and YOU...!!!)<br />
<br />
Will you ever have children?<br />
Paint It Black -Inkubus Sukkubus<br />
(You heard me; I'm adopting a black kid. It's a lot less painful than squeezing out some ugly rat that looks like me and acts exactly how I act)<br />
<br />
So there you have it. Yippee.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ AND ALL THAT COMES WITH IT<br /><br />It's confirmed, everyone! I'm going to Fanime in San Jose this very Sunday! So if any of you are going too, keep your eyes open for the girl with long brown hair in the Jack Skellington hoodie; chances are good that I'll be surrounded by a few teenage anime fans as well. And if by some chance you do recognize me, come up and say hi; I'd love to meet you!<br />
<br />
That is, given that any of you actually live in the Bay Area...<br />
<br />
...FANIME! YEAH!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ THIS IS TOO MUCH<br /><br />So I'm surfing Wikipedia, and I decided to look up my dad, considering that he was a former member of The Rising Sons (who I'm sure you've never heard of), since recently, I discovered another band on Itunes that goes by the same name and a punk rock sound, and not only does he have a page about him, but MY name's in there!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_marker">[link]</a><br />
<br />
But they screwed it up! My middle name is NOT Colden! That's my mom's last name and my brother's middle name, but MY middle name is Rose! God...<br />
<br />
*Update* I didn't know you could actually edit a Wikipedia entry...well, none the less, I fixed the problem with my name AND my mom's. Go me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I SUPPOSE I SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING, BUT I WAS WEARING SUNGLASSES<br /><br />Oi, I'm in for 7 deadly secrets about myself. But is there really anything totally worth telling? I mean...cripes...I think I'm pretty open about myself as it is...maybe there's something I haven't said yet. *Goes through her various journals and receipts and garbage under her bed* Okay! I think I've got it now.<br />
<br />
1. If a Goth crosses my path, male or female, I will instantly fall in love with them.<br />
<br />
2. I obsessively have to make sure that I only take 1, 3, 5, or 10 steps between cracks in the sidewalk. If I can't make it, I scrape my foot behind me to make up for lost numbers.<br />
<br />
3. I am an absolute sucker for a good romance. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie because only it and Lolita were the most believable love stories I've ever encountered. Seriously, I can't get enough of it when the couple's genuinely in love, as opposed to one member of the opposite sex just being written into the script so the main character can screw them.<br />
<br />
4. The truth is, I'm madly in love with *Train Wizzes By*. But the reality is, *Nearby Duck Quacks Loudly* is a celebrity who I have absolutely no chance of meeting, despite the fact that I constantly day-dream about teaming up with him to make an animated film and having him lend his voice to play the main character, and then proposing to me in front of everyone after I take home the Oscar for Best Animated Film. I'm hopeless.<br />
<br />
5. I watch Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. It's SO-EFFING-FUNNY! It's a slap in the face to a really bad show and all other dubbed animes in the world. I religiously return to Youtube every day in hopes that the creator posted a new episode. That guy is a bloody genius.<br />
<br />
6. I am so bad at remembering names that when I'm reading a book, I have to have a pen and some paper on hand to write down the character's names and a brief description of them, just so I won't get completely lost. Seriously, have you ever tried to remember all the names of the characters in a Stephen King novel? Every character is either named Bill, Howard, or after an out-dated beverage.<br />
<br />
AND NOW, the anti-climatic #7. My taste-buds mature at the rate of a three-year-old; I find about 5 new foods I like every year, and usually I don't want them touching. 90% of the food in the world doesn't agree with me, especially seafood and tomatoes. I'm so embarrassed about this that I make up lame excuses about being sick every time I'm invited to someone's house for dinner.<br />
<br />
There. All done. I've had my say. And I shall tag...no one!! Tags are like curses, and if there's anything I've learned from reading Thinner, it's that curses can only be passed on to others or died with, and I shall die with this curse for the sake of the certain someone out there who doesn't want to admit what word they tattooed to their left ass cheek or whatever. Who gives a crap. I need a drink.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ PREPARE TO GO BLIND<br /><br />Are you an obsessed person who wonders, 'What does that demented artist really look like?' 'What is her life like behind the ugly CG art?' 'What's that burning smell?' Well, look no further, for I bring you a collection of photos taken over the course of a normal weekday in my wonderful life. Sort of.<br />
<br />
Be warned; when my face is looked upon, animals run in fear, babies cry, wallpaper peels, and the mirror willingly cracks itself. If you do not wish to subject your nerves to such a strain...well, we warned you.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ MY GOD...<br /><br />Well ladies and gents, it's come to pass; Yaoi Fan is now the most favorited, as well as viewed, image in my gallery. Despite the hours and sweating and missing meals I've put into most of my work, my claim to fame is a picture I spent 2 hours on just to make fun of a manga genre. This must be how Randy Newman felt after he finally won an Oscar for his song in, 'Monsters Inc.' Or something to that effect. I wouldn't know, I've never met the guy, unlike my dad, who's done everything from going drinking with Orson Welles to dating Walter Cronkite's daughter.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm just wondering one thing; is it really the picture, or the pictures I took to put on the wall in the background?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" /> Hanukkah runs for 7 more days, and we don't have to spend it hearing stupid holiday carols and commercials! You want a carol? Here yah go;<br />
<br />
Jingle Bells,<br />
I'm in hell,<br />
'coz my presents SUCK<br />
Eight days a year,<br />
we gather here,<br />
and all we get's ten bucks<br />
OH!<br />
Jingle Bells;<br />
who can tell,<br />
that we're Jewish kids?<br />
The Christian folks,<br />
with their lame jokes,<br />
get a kick in the shins<br />
<br />
So there.<br />
<br />
Okay, so tomorrow, my dad and I are going to lunch and then to see King Kong (yay!), and there will be lots of popcorn and soda and I'll be HAPPY. Also, in the CG department, I've defied the terms of my Deviant ID and have done my first fanart, of Saya from Blood the Last Vampire. I swear, there're no good Saya fanarts ANYWHERE. Hopefully mine will redeem that. And with that said...to all you Jewish folks, have a happy Hanukkah! The rest of you...go play with your stupid presents your parents bought you and get tired of them. I'M getting a computer! HA!<br />
<br />
Goodnight.<br />
<br />
(UPDATE)<br />
<br />
I saw King Kong today; it was FRICKIN' AWESOME. New York City looked excellent, as did Kong himself, and Jack Black was surprisingly good. As for Skull Island and its natives...I've now decided that if there is a hell, that's what it'd be like. *Shudders* And the giant...bugs...WERE SO GROSS, UGH, don't go if you're squeemish! Or soft-hearted, because by the end of the film, I was ready to cry...they were so cruel to Kong, and all he ever did was love Ann! JESUS! People suck...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ OW, MY WRIST...!!<br /><br />Up to this point, I have now confirmed, I've been on this website a grand total of 12 days, and have pumped out five different CGs since then. This is not healthy!! My wrist HURTS...!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" />  <br />
<br />
Well, at least I'm getting lots of comments and such...I never got this much feedback in so short a time on Gaia... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" />  <br />
<br />
Yeah...well, life's as good as it's gonna get right now. The holidays are approaching, as is my new computer. So HA! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/laughing.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":laughing:" title="Laughing" /> No more having to share with my stupid, Screen-Junkie brother! And maybe I can listen to Itunes WITHOUT having to turn it on full blast to drown out his television in the background. Ah, life is good...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/happycry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":happycry:" title="Tears of joy" /><br />
<br />
And that's about it. Thanks to everyone so far for bothering to look at my stuff. You're cool. You really are.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WARNING; THE MORBID QUEEN HAS ARRIVED<br /><br />Yeah...and all the information about WHY you need a rabies shot, like, NOW, is in my profile. As a matter of fact, just reading the information (all of it true) about my strange and twisted lifestyle could possibly be dangerous to your health. Don't say I didn't warn you...<br />
<br />
So where am I now, you may ask? Sitting behind a desk in my brother's room, typing out my banter for the world to see while they try to figure out where on earth this 15 year old could have stolen the art in the gallery from. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pc.gif" width="38" height="24" alt=":pc:" title="PC" />  Friends, I have had my share of folks who believe that what I draw isn't mine just because teenagers aren't supposed to be able to CG better than most proffessionals. Apparently you don't know a prodegy when you see one, so screw you. *Takes another swig of her Delusions-of-Granduer Juice* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/drunk.gif" width="25" height="28" alt=":drunk:" title="Drunk" /><br />
<br />
