                <description><![CDATA[ For you Pokemon geeks out there, from November 7th to the 15th, you can go and collect Arceus from Toys R' Us!<br /><br />The only requirements are to have gotten the Pokedex (which is at the beginning of the game, dur) and to have Mystery Gift working.<br /><br />For those who don't have mystery gift, you must go to the TV Center in Jubilife City and go up to the third floor. There is a man in the studio that you talk to and he asks you some questions. To the first question, you put "Everyone Happy." To the second question, you put "Wi-Fi Connection."<br /><br />When recieving the Arceus from Mystery Gift, you may only have two wonder cards, so if you already have two, you'll have to delete one. Once you accept the Mystery Gift, play the game and go to a Shop. Make sure there's an empty space in your party. Talk to the delivery man in the Shop and Arceus will have joined your team at level 100!<br /><br />And you know what? I'm just about to face the Elite Four. HAHAHAHA win c: *skitters off with her new Arceus*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just... wow.<br /><br />This Halloween, I had planned to be a pirate, and ~<a class="u" href="http://silviuslupis.deviantart.com/">SilviusLupis</a>, my best friend, had decided that she'd be my roleplaying character for a day, one that we love very much alongside Zarquin, who's name is Sibyll.  For any references to her, you can check my gallery of course. ^^  We've been roleplaying Zarquin and Sibyll for... wow, for almost two years now?  Has it been that long?<br /><br />Of course, as soon as she picked up the cop outfit from Hot Topic I was on board. XD  I've based Sibyll's height off of her, and then they're both blonde, and though Silvie has beautiful blue eyes, she still pulled off Sibyll perfectly. (Sibyll's green eyed, but where it's that dull light shade of jade green, it could pass as blue <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />) *shakes head*  It's actually really crazy how psycho good her cosplay of Sibyll came out!  For a night I got to be a fangirl over seeing my character come to life on a beautiful woman. x3 (Pfft, and don't tell me you're not beautiful. Anyone who reads this and goes to look at your DA ID can see what I mean. >3 )  Even if I fail to fully be able to express how excited and awed I really was, she pulled her off to a T and I think we should both be excited (and Silvie should feel accomplished indeed <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> )!<br /><br />Man, the point of this journal is that she made Sibyll more beautiful, more <i>real</i> when she did this, and I absolutely adore her for it.  Now, I must show her off so bad!  To you, whoever ends up reading this! *proud*<br /><br />This is the original character:<br /><a href="http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs40/f/2009/027/1/b/Sexy_Sibyll__Final_by_Cryptic_Alchemist.png">[link]</a><br /><br />This is ~<a class="u" href="http://silviuslupis.deviantart.com/">SilviusLupis</a> dressed as Sibyll Nocturne:<br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs066.snc3/13340_101592146528174_100000321666526_40429_5800367_n.jpg">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs046.snc3/13340_101592149861507_100000321666526_40430_1293110_n.jpg">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs046.snc3/13340_101592153194840_100000321666526_40431_5041788_n.jpg">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs046.snc3/13340_101592156528173_100000321666526_40432_6844748_n.jpg">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs046.snc3/13340_101592159861506_100000321666526_40433_1813001_n.jpg">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs066.snc3/13340_101592163194839_100000321666526_40434_2118989_n.jpg">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs066.snc3/13340_101592166528172_100000321666526_40435_7247007_n.jpg">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs066.snc3/13340_101592169861505_100000321666526_40436_7687890_n.jpg">[link]</a><br /><br />Don't tell me that's not fuckin' <i>amazing</i> and <i>sexy!</i>  *squeals like a rabid fangirl*<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> c:<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Fuzzy now has a HP Mini, and though she still needs to buy a wireless router and then other things like a mouse, carrying case, etc. it's rather nice.  Surprising that it didn't come with Windows Office automatically. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /> And I can't run Zoo Tycoon because the external CD drive I've got can't handle it or something (it installed it and everything but I just couldn't get the actual game to open), but hey.  It's a really nice computer and I'll be able to get online without getting bitched at now and kicked off, though, which is the main reason I got it besides for school.<br /><br />Um, I can't think of anything else, but then I also feel like everything I write isn't exactly cohesive either.  Damn headache. <<;<br /><br />Fuzzy~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Stretch your arm out as far as you can. What do you reach? <br />Uh. XD  Either the side of this computer desk, the computer screen or nothing. |D;  Geez.  People should be more specific.<br /><br />3.What was the lastthing you watched on tv?<br />Um.  That I chose to watch, I ended up watching "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride" 'cause I lubbs eet.  Soemthing I saw in passing was "Lady and the Tramp," since the little one was watching it earlier.<br /><br />4. Without looking, guess what time it is? .<br />10:20?<br /><br />5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time? .<br />Aw, well, 10:16 is close. ^^<br /><br />6.With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?<br />Um.  Something playing on the TV in the living room, probably on the Sci-fi (Or "SyFy" as they call it now, how retarded is that?) channel.<br /><br />7. When did you last go outside. What were you doing?<br />A few hours ago to go get my ferret 'cause the brats took him out to their friends' place without my permission and I was pissed.<br /><br />8. Before you started this survey, what were you looking at<br />The computer screen?  I was looking at the AIM screen I have open with Bridgette as we discuss musics and roleplaying charries. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />9. What are you wearing?<br />Clothes.  My skin.  The usual.<br />Dark gray sweatpants and the black t-shirt with a seafoam colored moon and a fairy silhouette on it that Bridgette gave me for Christmas one year. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" />  If I must go further, a black and white striped bra with purple lace on it and white panties with purple and red paisley on it. XD<br /><br />10. Did you dream last night?<br />I know that I did, but unfortunately, I can't remember what it was for the life of me.<br /><br />11. When did you last laugh?<br />When I was looking at some of the dA stamps that <a href="http://akreon.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/k/akreon.png?11" alt=":iconakreon:" title="akreon"/></a> has in their journal. XD  Which I read since it was something about the Off-White comic.  They can't update as much anymore. ;3;<br /><br />12. What are on the walls of the room you are in?<br />Like, nothing.  It's plain white.  Well, no, there's a Korean calendar that we got from the Seoul Super Market behind me.<br /><br />13. Seen anything weird lately?<br />No 'cause I've been cooped up in my house. |D;<br />No, you know what?  This whole ordeal on the Pony Island adoptable forum has been really frickin' weird.  Apparently the sheath of a male animal is now deemed a genital and this not appropriate on realistic styled adoptables and it is utterly frickin' ridiculous.  If that's banned, the breeding and having breasts/udders/teats of any kind on any realistic animal adoptable should be banned, too.  <br />AGH.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /><br /><br />14. What do you think of this quiz?<br />I have to wonder what the point of the random questions but then again, I am filling it out so whatever. XD  It's alright?<br /><br />15. What is the last film you saw?<br />Ponyo, which was really frickin' cute. o3o<br />*waves arms in the air*<br />XD<br /><br />16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?<br />A car.  A house.  Computer.  School fees.  Sadly, my future is priority over the pleasures and luxuries in life. XD;  In terms of indulging myself, lots of Asian sweets, books, awesome clothes, MUSIC homg.  Things like that. XD<br /><br />17. Tell me something that I didn't know about you?<br />Um.  I'm<br /><br />18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or...<br />I dunno, the rest of the question poofed, but I get the gist.<br />World peace. 8D<br /><br />19. Do you like to dance?<br />Yup, or at least, I enjoy it now.  Being able to is a different matter. XD<br /><br />20. George Bush<br />Is a monkey.<br /><br />21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?<br />Um. Sibyll. *shot*<br /><br />22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?<br />I haz no clue.

                <description><![CDATA[ I thought I'd make a little journal on the update that I finally got my driver's permit!  I think I screwed up once or twice on the written and sign part of the exam as a whole, and of course I struggled a little with the vision test, but I'm visually impaired in the first place. XD  But altogether, I feel accomplished. c:  Except that my picture on my card makes me look high. <<;  Ah well.<br /><br />Um.  Also.  Melon daifuku is fuckin' amazing.  The name on the label on the back said "Japanese Fruit Rice Cake Melon Taste." XD  But it was basically a mochi rice cake with honey dew flavoring in it.  It's sweet and it's hella expensive (about $5.00 for six little rice cakes) but sweet gawdess, they're yummy.  They were imported from Osaka. <<  Which is why I love the Korean supermarket.  Nom.<br /><br />Fuzzy out. :3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Despite having no use for it, I always thought that word sounded funny. XD<br /><br />Anyways, I just wanted to say that whoever made the Haunting Ground Original Sound Track, I love you.  I want that CD. Why?  Because I love the Precious Hewie theme for one, but the fact that they made a remix on that CD is awesome. XD  That's about it.  I do wanna make Kittix of Fiona and Hewie, but other than that, I think I'm done with Haunting Ground.  After I see the other alternate endings.  Playing hard mode did jack shit but scare the living daylights out of me when Daniella came out of the closet that you can hide in in the Jupiter "truth" room after going to the "lies" room first.  Games and movies never make me scream, but that did.  Holy. Shit.  Anyways.<br /><br />Kittix and Celestials have been coming along great, so hopefully more adoptie activity will happen soon on Pony Island! :3<br /><br />*flails*<br /><br />~Fuzzy<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Mindless Self Indulgence aside.... xD;  Here's the profile for my newest character Clarissa. |D  a.k.a. Alcaine's mate.<br /><br />(See <a href="http://silviuslupis.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/i/silviuslupis.gif?1" alt=":iconsilviuslupis:" title="silviuslupis"/></a>'s journal!)<br /><br /><b>Full Name:</b> Clarissa Leilani Vance<br /><b>Preferred Title:</b> Clarissa<br /><b>Age:</b> 24<br /><b>Gender:</b> Female<br /><b>Species:</b> Angel (although she is unaware and thinks herself an average human)<br /><b>Ethnicity:</b> Caucasian<br /><b>Nationality:</b> American, technically.  Though her parents were from the heaven realm, she lived her life on Earth, in America, for as long as she can remember.<br /><b>Occupation:</b> Lawyer.  Through many unfortunate events in her life, she was inspired to become a voice of the law so that she could help those where she had been turned away.<br /><b>Sexuality:</b> Heterosexual<br /><b>Residence:</b> A single story flat in Manhattan of NYC, New York.<br /><br /><b>Background/Past Notes:</b><br />-Clarissa was born to a happy couple, Gabriel and Aster.  Both parents serve the Source as Warriors, vanquishing the demons that threaten to dominate the human race.  Their lifestyle was one of blood and gore, and when Aster began to show signs of pregnancy, they made a grave vow to make sure that their child wouldnÂt have to live through the harsh reality of a WarriorÂs life, as WarriorÂs blood would run through her veins.  For the term of the pregnancy, they remained in the heaven realm to attend her, but before the child was to be born, they fled to Earth to hide their child from the demons, from the angels, from the very Source, even.  <br />-It was a week before Aster was due to give birth to little Clarissa that they took the greatest risk.  They went to broker that lived neither in the hell, heaven or human realms, but rather, on a more spiritual plane.  Being angels, they didnÂt have difficulty.  They requested to the broker, who took the shape of a grotesquely twisted tree bearing an equally marred face upon its trunk that was made from flesh and blood (cutting the tree would cause it to bleed rather than splinter), to convince the Primal force, a power more ancient and powerful than the Source, to hide the species of their child from existence.  To anyone who looked at her, she would be a mere human child.  The broker complied.  They returned to the broker after three days and he snarls at them that they must pay a sacrifice in blood.  Their blood, for the hidden life of their child, and a small blood sacrifice at his roots as payment for the bartering.  It was decided that the parents would die once the child had been alive for twelve seasons.<br />-Aster birthed Clarissa a little bit after, feeling excruciating pain on the behalf of her child.  The infant looked as if fresh cuts had been etched into her skin along the insides of her lower arms and down the insides of her thighs despite coming right from the womb.  The cuts were run marks that had no doubt been the handiwork of the Primal force, keeping its end of the bargain in exchange for their lives.  The parents looked at each other grimly, but it only lasted a little while before the infant began to tug at their hearts and they fell in love with their first and only child.<br />-The family lived happily together, at least.  However, at the fragile age of three, something climactic attacks.  Clarissa canÂt remember much more than screams, blurs, blood.  Lots of blood.  The smell and sight of it.  She was so little then, but her parents were killed as she hid in the cabinet, safe from harms way.  Little did she know that her parents were slaughtered by demons, their souls shattered in sacrifice in exchange for her life to be led free of the war her race was doomed to fight.<br />-Being orphaned for as long as she can remember, as she remembers nothing of her parents, Clarissa has hopped from foster home to foster home, but never had she stayed at one for too long.  There was always something to chase her away.  In her first home, she was smacked around, whether it was by the parentsÂ kids or themselves for not listening and having her fight back.  In her final foster home before turning eighteen, she was sexually molested by the householdÂs eldest son, who was nineteen as she was seventeen.  The court system never did emancipate her, but moved her to another home.  Finally, when she was free and was able to escape to college, she decided that she would go through law school to help those who were like her.  Who needed help, but couldnÂt get any because the law system or the lawyers did jack shit to really help.  By the time she graduated college and law school, she was a full-fledged lawyer.<br /><br /><b>General Personality:</b> Strong and independent, Clarissa doesnÂt really need anyone, or so she tries to tell herself.  However, she canÂt stand seeing... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Since Silvie thought that I should do the same as she had done for Zarquin, I went ahead and wrote the summary for our long-going roleplay, <i>Sanctuary of Shadows</i> from my character, Sibyll's, point of view! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />  And without further ado~<br /><br /><i>ÂLet the sweat fall,<br />Find me in the back stall.<br />Let it snow down,<br />Now weÂre gonna deck halls.<br />I hit the bullÂs-eye,<br />Making all the boys cry.<br />I hit the main line,<br />Breaking through the night sky...Â</i><br /><br /><b>Story:</b><br />The things that cried out the loudest from Sibyll NocturneÂs childhood were her memories of a man in a mask who had stolen into her familyÂs home.  She had lived with her parents, but they were both shot and killed by the invader.  Though she had miraculously escaped being killed as a child, she had grown up feeling that there werenÂt enough people in the world who worked for the good of peopleÂs safety.  Her parents were both dead because the security systems of prisons werenÂt exactly flawless and a convict had escaped and found her family.  By the time she had reached college, she was going through all kinds of classes, and soon she found herself in a police academy, being trained to be a cop of the K-9 unit.<br /><br />Sibyll wasnÂt exactly a push over anymore.  The woman worked out and often exercised with her dog and K-9 partner, Tiamat, a four-year-old German Shepherd she had raised since she was a pup.  Together in their fresh career as cops, Sibyll and Tiamat had apprehended all sorts of criminals from the nasty kinds of local gangs and bar fights to the more discreet and illegal, like the drug dealers and murderers.  For two years, however, she had been on the case of a serial killer.  People had been disappearing off of the streets, but no matter where they searched, they never could find any leads to the person killing off these people.  He was damn good at hiding his trails, which made her job more difficult and overall, the case seemed hopeless.<br /><br />One day finds the woman and her dog companion taking the cruiser to the abandoned warehouses at the edge of the city to investigate once again, though there had never been any activity for a serial killer since sheÂd investigated the place the first couple times.  About to give up and return home, Tiamat suddenly begins to bark like crazy, and she slinks off deeper into the complex.  The canine leads Sibyll to one warehouse in particular.  With her glock ready and loaded in her hands, she kicks down the door to find a rather huge shock.  Beyond the door was a lot of blood, the dead body of their most recent missing persons report and a large, cowering man clad in black clothes and a blindfold.  Genuinely afraid of her, he stops what heÂs doing as she tries to arrest him.<br /><br />Tall, dark and handsome with a full headful of hair down below his waist, the blindfolded killer is definitely a handsome sight to be hold, all criminal charges aside.  However, the fact that she so easily handcuffed the man baffled her.  He didnÂt fight, but he actually seemed... confused?  Hearing the man talk a little bit about his past, she realized that he didnÂt actually know that killing was wrong?  As ridiculous as it sounded at first, the strangeness of the case and the fact that he begins to bleed from his eyes from under the blindfold leads to Sibyll being in charge of the strange man after realizing that it was more harmful to keep him in prison than out and he ends up at her home.<br /><br />What is a cop to do when she has an insecure serial killer in her home?  ZarquinÂs entire life was a living nightmare, but at heart, he is the sweetest man she has ever known.  Inevitably, she finds herself falling for him, but how can she show Zarquin that he is worth her affections and love?  It will take a lot of time and care to undo what his mother has literally beaten into his head, and she is determined to show him that not even a Nephilim will deter her from winning his heart.<br /><br /><i>ÂIn the arms of an angel,<br />Fly away from here,<br />From this dark, cold hotel room,<br />And the endlessness that you fear.<br />You are pulled from the wreckage,<br />Of your silent reverie.<br />YouÂre in the arms of the angel,<br />May you find some comfort here.Â</i><br /><br />Lyrics from the top are from "Ricochet!" by Shiny Toy Guns and then the second one is "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

They're not open to the public yet, but they will be soon, and I have to say, it looks wonderful, and I'm totally psyched for its opening! XD  If you like Subeta, I have a feeling that you'll pro'lly like Lurapets, and a lot of the Lurapet peeps on the temp forums are from Subeta, too. ^^<br /><br />Why don't you all take a look for yourselves, and spread the Laurpian love? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />lurapets.com/forums<br /><br />This means that the commissions are now closed since I won't have time while filling in the quotas for the half month. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  Not that it looked like I was getting offers aaanyway, but y'know.  I might post some of the art after the site is up and not risking giving away anything, but until then, root for me!<br /><br />Much love,<br />Cryptic<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've got something special planned for Christmas, but I've pretty much got no money whatsoever to do it, but I need money fast.  So I'm going to be opening a total of 10 commission slots for $10 each, which isn't too bad, right?  The only requirements are to look through my gallery to get a feel for my serious art, and to be able to pay me via Paypal. :3<br /><br />Hopefully there will be some interest. <3  I'm really hoping to get my Christmas plan put through, preferably a couple weeks before Christmas will arrive. ;3<br /><br />Slots Open, $10 each:<br />1.<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br />5.<br />6.<br />7.<br />8.<br />9.<br />10.<br /><br />~Cryptic <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

It will need to be there before I start your request.<br /><br />(Okay, so in my case, I don't care if you do or not.  I just wanna do sketches and won't mind doin' free stuff.  Kapiche?  And if you're lucky and I'm in a good mood, I'll probably even color and shade it, like the commission I did for <a href="http://chrisee.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/chrisee.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconchrisee:" title="chrisee"/></a><a href="http://silentlyscheming.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/i/silentlyscheming.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsilentlyscheming:" title="silentlyscheming"/></a> and like the ones I dedicate to my <a href="http://silviuslupis.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/i/silviuslupis.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsilviuslupis:" title="silviuslupis"/></a>  So go for it.

                <description><![CDATA[ 1. What's your fondest memory of Victoria?<br />~~~>Ah yes, I remember when she was just a kid.  Poor woman.  When she was but three years old, Victoria got stuck in the kitty slot in the door when trying to chase her mother's cat, Myst, out of the house.  ...it was raining that day and she was caught for about an hour.  By the time she was found and dried, her hair looked like an afro for about a week.  Talk about frizz from hell!<br /><br />2. Varian and Alice are forced to roleplay out a verbal couple fight. Who gets to play the wife?<br />~~~>Uh, I honestly can't see Varian standing to take a hit to his ego like that, but Alice would eat anyone who would make her be 'the wife.'  Unless Xandria did, but she's a different case.  In this case, neither would be the wife because Alice would probably end up trying to seduce and eat Varian and it wouldn't work.  Werewolf vs. werewolf = baaaaad.  <<<br /><br />3. Does Varian make you hot?<br />~~~>Yeah, when he makes me lawlz so hard that I can't breathe.  Then you're laughing so hard that you get all hot and sweaty and gross in the summer heat.  Not a pleasant image, yes?<br /><br />4. In a race between you, Sibyll and Spiral, who would win?<br />~~~>..Sibs.  I would trip and lose my balance, and Spiral would get distracted too easily.  Why do you think he never succeeded in running away from home?  Sibyll's a cop, though, so hopefully she'd be a badass runner.<br /><br />5. What is Spiral's favorite TV show or movie?<br />~~~>...HAMTARO, when we work together, it's much better, MY BEST FRIEND, we like sunflower seeds, krumkrumkrum~ <3<br /><br />6. Name something you have in common with Sibyll?<br />~~~>..we're dorks.  And quite nerdy.  Notice the glasses?<br /><br />7. Have you eaten around Tiamat?<br />~~~>Sometimes.  I like to eat on the floor occasionally with Tiamat and Damien.  Just, sometimes she tries to eat him, and I have to make sure that she doesn't end up having indigestion because she ate my ferret. :<<br /><br />8. What would you do if you hadn't met Varian?<br />~~~>I would be sad for I would be lacking in some lawlz. :<<br /><br />9. Do you think Kryn is a virgin?<br />~~~>...PFFT.  <<;<br /><br />10. Who does Tiamat like?<br />~~~>Tiamat: *barks and wags tail as if to say: Oh I don't care if she chose him over me because it really wasm't her fault despite she despairs at the thought of losing me but I would be sad if she chose me over him because then she'd still be sad at least she's happy this way because Sibby is my mommy and Zarqi is my daddy and I love them so much and I want them to be happy andandand-*<br />*muzzles her* ...<br /><br />~*~<br /><br />From the random meme question generator in my favourites. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br /><br />Anyways, it's off to bed for me, for I've got a frickin' Nightwish concert to attend to tomorrow!  See you all, mwahaha~  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I hate socks, period. :<<br /><br />Do you flip your pilloâw to the cold side?â<br />-Nope.  I like warmth, so that would be pretty silly, really. XD<br /><br />Do you want a smallâ or big weddiâng?â<br />-Mmm, neither, really.  One with friends, but no family (on my side, anyway) 'cause they probably wouldn't come anyway. |O  I mean, considering Audrey now things that she can loosely use the term 'fag.' :\  <br /><br />Wouldâ you ratheâr be rich and unhap&#8203<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />y or poor and happyâ?â<br />-I'd rather be poor and happy, personally.  Money cannot buy happiness after all.  Well, it can, but still.  What's the point of having all the money and things you want if the one thing you don't have is happiness?<br /><br />Are you trustâing of new peoplâe?â<br />-Uh...not really.  I usually have to get to know people a while first. :<<br /><br />If your dreamâ was to be a modelâ and a big opporâtunitây came up but you had to be nude,â wouldâ you do it?<br />-Uh, no, 'cause I'm nowhere near sexy even with my clothes on, so why would I want to do that? o_O  Plus I'm already camera shy; I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want a picture of me naked.  xD<br /><br />What is the most moneyâ you wouldâ spendâ on a pair of shoesâ?â<br />-Well, if they were some damn good shoes, quite a bit, but I wouldn't go for anything over $100 really, which his steep enough as it is. |3;  I mean, omg, if those really were 300 fucking dollars, I wouldn't be the one saying, "let's get 'em!"<br /><br />If you were a crayoân,â what colorâ wouldâ you be?<br />-Uh, indigo. |D<br /><br />Do you have more frienâds or more acquaâintanâces?â<br />-I have a whole lot of both, but friends do outweigh them. :3<br /><br />Wouldâ you ratheâr help someoâne out or be helpeâd out?<br />-Personally, I'd rather help someone else out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  I'm not exactly one who finds being helped to be very enjoyable. :<<br /><br />If you foundâ out you couldân'ât have kids,â wouldâ you adoptâ?â<br />-Possibly, especially if I ended up marrying my mate or someone else of the same gender. |3;  Unless that modern research is actually coming to fruition, anyway.<br /><br />Whereâ are you?<br />-My parent's room. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br /><br />How was your weekeând?â<br />-Mmm, it was pretty good.  Didn't do anything, but it was like... basically right after Bridgette and I got back together, so I was feeling pretty damn good. xD  Dunno about this weekend yet, though. :<<br /><br />Did you kiss or hug anyonâe todayâ?â<br />-Ja. |D  Hugged and kissed mah girlfriend when dropping her off at home today, and gave hugs to all mah buddies, of course.<br /><br />When was the last time you criedâ?â<br />-I dunno. :<  Stop asking thaaaat.<br /><br />Ever throwân up in publiâc?â<br />-Not exactly the most pleasant experiences of my elementary school life.<br /><br />What is on your mind RIGHTâ NOW?<br />-Uh, werewolves.  Srsly.  Gawd, John?  Why won't you get outta my heaaaad? D:  <br />And romantic things, but y'know, that's kind of a bit of a norm with me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />Wouldâ you take a bulleât for anyonâe?â<br />-Yes, I would.  If not for my girlfriend, who is also my best friend, I would protect any of my friends, who are considered to be my true family to me. <3<br /><br />Whereâ wouldâ you like to live?â<br />-I dunno, but I've always loved the idea of living with all of my friends like Bridgette had been telling us we should do for years. X3  Roommates!<br /><br />What kind of houseâ wouldâ you like?â<br />-Maybe old styled and pretty looking.  Victorian style homes are always so elegant and nice looking. ;D<br /><br />What do you want to be when you grow up?<br />-No idea, honestly, but I would still love to be the guitarist to help Bridgette along through the music industry. ^^<br /><br />Who was the last persoân that left you a commeânt?â<br />-Rika. :3<br /><br />Last persoân to text you?<br />-I dun have a phone, but through AIM, it would be Bridgette. |D;<br /><br />How oftenâ do you log in to myspaâce?â<br />-Mm, about every day, now.<br /><br />Do you like candyâ necklâaces?â<br />-Sometimes.  It depends on if it's good candy. :B<br /><br />When was the last time you fell or ran into sometâhing?â<br />-Uh... the biggest one I can recall would be... I g... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Personally, I'd rather be out with all my friends at my party, but that ain't for a few more hours, so ... XD  I probably should be preparing, but, since I'm not getting online tonight, I might as well do this now.  It was stolen from a friend on MySpace. X3<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Where is the person you need most right now?<br />Erm.  I dunno.<br /><br />Do you like pop tarts?<br />Hell yeah. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  Especially the cinnamon, chocolate and strawberry kinds. <3<br /><br />Where will you be 12 hours from now?<br />At the Mariott Hotel that I'm hostin' mah birthday party at. :3<br /><br />Is it easy for others to make you feel intimidated?<br />Eh?  Not really, but sometimes.  Depends?  What would I be feeling intimidated about? o__O<br /><br />Do you know what you are going to wear tomorrow?<br />Clothes.<br /><br />Does anyone hate you for no reason?<br />I don't think so, but I do know that I creep people out for some reason. XD<br /><br />Can you make yourself cry?<br />Make myself?  No, but I am overly emotional.  One of my very annoying qualities.<br /><br />What are you planning to do today?<br />Paaartay!  Wiff a guest! <3<br /><br />Play an instrument?<br />Violin. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br /><br />Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?<br />Without a doubt, yes.<br /><br />What are your favorite colors?<br />Erm, anything but brown, orange and yellow. :<  Black and dark colours and white, really.<br /><br />Have you kissed someone whose name started with F?<br />No; wtf.  Four letters off. XD<br /><br />Have you ever fainted?<br />Almost. <<<br /><br />What are you doing tomorrow?<br />I dunno; somethin'.  That's a dumb question.  I'm working tomorrow night on my birthday, which sucks, but eh.  |3;<br /><br />Are you easily confused?<br />...noooo, of course not.  Why would anyone think that?<br /><br />Do you think you would make a good wife/husband?<br />.....maybe.  Somehow, I really doubt it...<br /><br />What's your favorite kind of ice cream?<br />Cold Stone ice cream has really gone up on my list, but that's probably biased 'cause I work there. XD;  But coffee, strawberry and banana flavours have been some of my favourites.<br /><br />Do you like coffee?<br />Staaaarbucks. <3  So I do, now, and I'm such a hypocrite now. xD<br /><br />Do you like summer?<br />YES.<br /><br />Have you ever liked someone who treated you like crap?<br />No. o_O  If they honestly treated you like crap, why would you want to stay with them?<br /><br />Is your current hair color mostly your natural hair color?<br />Buhur, I'm boring.  Yep. :B<br /><br />Where were you at 8am this morning?<br />In the shower. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" /><br /><br />Do you fall for people easily?<br />Definitely not.  I'm the one who thinks that there's no one out there for me.  I'm going to be seventeen tomorrow, and I've only ever had one crush, who was my first and only so far.  :<  One day, maybe, I might come to like someone else, but not right now.<br /><br />Everything happens for a reason?<br />Pfft, no.  Bitchface never needs a reason.<br /><br />Have you ever dated someone more than once?<br />No~<br /><br />Who have you texted in the last 24 hours?<br />I dun text, but I talked about sexy werewolves with long blond hair with Bridgette on AIM. XD<br /><br />How has the week been?<br />It's been really good for once, actually.  No drama, got to hang out with Abi, and then I was hanging around Bridgette's and we got to secure our surprise guest at my party. X3  I haven't felt like I've irritated or pissed anyone off, no drama at work and at home, havin' a hotel party for the first time for my party.  I've been feeling pretty good. =3<br /><br />Is there something you wish you could tell someone but can't?<br />Well yeah, but doesn't everyone? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br /><br />What are your biggest turn offs?<br />Um.  I dunno.  Being treated like an idiot, but that can't really be helped when I AM an idiot half the time. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />Favorite shirt to wear?<br />I like to wear my corsets, by shortsleeved turtle neck and such.<br /><br />Do you prefer being single or taken?<br />I don't like being single after having experienced a relationship and missing a lot, but being single has its perks and so I guess it's a little of both. :3<br /><br />Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?<br />Personal much?  But yes, I would.<br /><br />Have you ever felt replaced?<br />Jealous but never replaced. :U<br /><br />Are you only friends... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm really only updating to post my work schedule, but I might as well journal while I'm here. xD<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />This week:<br /><br />Tuesday:  7-cl<br />Wednesday:  7-cl<br />Friday:  7-cl<br />Saturday:  1-6 PM<br />Sunday;  7-cl<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />And the only reason why I'm not working late Saturday is because we'll be runnin' off to the book store for the bi-annual manga party. :3  Cosplayin' as Ritsuka and with Bridgette as Soubi, with a Natsuo. x3  We woulda had a Yuji but Abi decided she didn't want to do it. XD;  Marissa might possibly be Kiyo, but that's about all I know.  Rika's going as... Neji from Naruto if I remember right.  Bless her soul should she get mobbed by Narutards. <<<br /><br />Speaking of whom, Rika's been hired at Cold Stone, too, so hopefull we'll get similar shifts.  It'll be more fun to work with people I know, not that Lauren and Patrick aren't crazy as it is. XD<br /><br />Hm.  Sides that, I got an adorable bunny from Bridgette today as a belated Easter present, and he was one of a few that got handed out today. |3  I need to take photos of or draw my plushie collection so far, hehe~  But he doesn't have a name yet.  My little white tiger she gave me still doesn't have a name yet, either, but I might just call him Tomo.  Just because.  And it sounds really cute. XD  Tomo the tiger. <3  <br /><br />Actually, I might call the bunny Starburst in reminiscence of passing around Starburst jellybeans today. XD  There we go!  I've gone and named my nameless plushies; I feel accomplished.<br /><br />And now I'm rambling about pointless things again, so I will get back to sketching Sibyll, whose profile I'm also working on right now, both written and drawn.  I need to do them for Eleanor, Irene and Amelia, too, when I get to it. Hm.<br /><br />*skitters off~*<br /><br />Llama!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ To everyone.  I thought it'd be simpler to just make a new journal on this so that the other one isn't blaringly on the front, and I can address all of the comments together and the amazing support I got from school today, as well.<br /><br />Seriously, you don't know just how amazing having friends like mine is, sometimes.  I'll have to admit, having a mob of like... eight teenage girls going into a counseling office was pretty fucking amazing, plus it made me feel all fuzzy and warm inside despite the nervousness of the whole situation. ;.;  I love you all so much. <3<br /><br />(And this update is also gonna be for Stitches, too, since she got left out. :<  And whoever else reads this, like Weeks, Taku and Kei. <3)<br /><br />I think that things actually went really well, today, and I'm really thankful to all of you, and I'm sorry that everyone had to get worked up, especially Bridgette.  I'm pretty sure this situation was one of the last things needed to be added onto your plate. D:  You really have always been there to support me...  (and I'm not leaving anyone out. :< )  But overall, everyone got what they wanted to say in, too, and not only do I appreciate the support, but it was also a whole lot of help. ;.;  I'm positive that having everyone there definitely made an impression and stressed how important the siutation is.<br /><br />For those who don't know, both me and the group got to talk to people, me being my school counselor and them the school psychiatrist, the assistant principle and a few other people (since Miss Dweeb School Social Worker did shit and her sides of what happened when 'dealing' with them were inconsistent.  I don't like her.  |<  The fucking idiot compared my case to that of animal abuse, was treating them like it was none of their business and that nothing good could come from their worry and anger, whereas the psychologist said that she was glad for it. )  Anyways, on both sides, we had gotten to where the adults said that they would contact the Child Protective Services (NOT a school worker who does jack shit, or the cops who are just like her. :/ ), and I got to talk to one today.  She opened my case on reporting the abuse, but since I'm only going to be 17 next month, as Weeks had stated, I'm stuck here because I'm underage.  Cops won't do shit until I'm older.  Hopefully this case will fix things, but we won't be able to hear much for a while.  The social worker said that she would work with it after interviewing me a little, and eventually, it'll get to where she's gonna confront my parents, mother specifically.  They're going to gather as much in-depth details as possible and they're going to take <i>everything</i> into account, including the abuse over the year and not JUST yesterday's incident or whatnot.  They're taking everything into account and they'll see if they can help my home situation any.  What I did get was some helpful advice from her; next time something happens, I shouldn't fight back but just call the cops, or I'm allowed to leave home and see if I can get a friend to pick me up.<br /><br />For now, it seems things have been and are going to be going way to slow, but Bridgette's right; I took too long to take action like an idiot, took things for granted and ultimately, I've lost a few things important to me and also caused my siutation to be worse and more painful.  <br /><br />However, today, I feel better; I actually feel really good, if not mentally exhausted and just flat out tired.  I know that things are moving again, and that we'll be beginning to get out of that loop that I've been stuck in for a while.  Social Workers and the school staff who helped us today will not only keep in touch and check in, but they're actually investigating, which will eventually give us some progress.  :3<br /><br />And I'd love to live with you and Keikaku, Taku, but... you live so far awaaay~ XD;  But thank you, though.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  ;w;<br /><br />And now... I really feel like I need a nap. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  *flops*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Talk about needing to talk to someone and not having anyone around...  This isn't doing any good for my nerves, that's for sure.  Looks like I'll have to call Bridgette to see why the hell she isn't online at 9:00 like normal... when that happens, I get really worried...<br /><br />Well, I've come to discover that cops are worthless and do shit, even when you're grabbed by the hair and thrown over a couch.  All I got from them was a 'you should listen to your parents and don't talk back' since they couldn't do anything else but address what happened today.<br /><br />What happened today?  My dad was officially reinstated as a total dick, and my mother's been her bitchy self.  Not only had he tried to give me a 'you're going down the evil lifestyle' lecture regarding myself, my personality and my sexuality, but then when I ignored them to go to Bridgette's house anyway, my dad comes barging in, threatening to call the police and apparently he's gonna have 'anyone who takes me home from school' arrested if it's not them or a bus.  Ftw.<br /><br />Fine.  I'm going to go to the counselor in the morning and talk to them on such stupid sounding legalities with Bridgette, Abi and Jessie if they'll come.<br /><br />So I get home.  Dad leaves to go to work, mother bitches about going out without permission.  She calls all of my friends lunatics, I call her the only fuckin' lunatic around here, and she goes ballistic.  Grabs me by the arm and twisting my jacket to where there're bruises along my arm.  Again.  I tell her to watch it, 'cause I <i>will</i> report her.  She grabs me by the hair, we go into a fist fight, and using my hair, she decides to knock me over the couch.  I call the cops and lock myself in my room.<br /><br />The cops did shit.  Okay, so.  If the cops didn't protect me like they were supposed to do, then what has this come to?  When I've got proof of the abuse and nothing happens... then what?  Well, that makes wasted effort, for one.  Two, looks like that MASH safe house is soon to be my home.  Three, looks like pulling a Katie and running away to Wal-Mart sounds like a damn good plan.<br /><br />Well, better go see what's going on with Bridgette, so here's Cyptic, signing out.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so I think that last journal entry has taken care of any times that I must work this week, but just so that it can be seen on my page and so I can add something in, this is again my work schedule and such for the upcoming week. |3<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Wednesday:  6-closing<br />Friday:  7-closing<br />Sunday:  7-closing<br /><br />Monday:  Therapist appointment at 9:00 AM<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />But yes, back to the challenge that I am speaking of. xD  I've decided that, once I've caught up and have gotten a lot of things completed and out of the way, I'm going to draw some pictures based off of single word themes and see what I can come up with.  I actually got a little of the idea looking through Takurami/Chrisee's page, but here're the few that I've got.  So far, I've got ten in mind that I'd like to do. =3<br /><br />1.  Dreamless<br />2.  Eternal<br />3.  Gravity<br />4.  Beloved<br />5.  Hope<br />6.  Shadows<br />7.  Nightmare<br />8.  Snow<br />9.  Moonlight<br />10.  Firefly<br /><br />Funny enough, the 'beloved' theme automatically makes me think, "Soubi! 8D"  'Course, our little anime party at a not-so-local bookstore probably doesn't help considering the whole cosplay thing we pulled off last year, and might do again this year. ^^<br /><br />I must also apologize for not having as many deviations done as I would like.  D:  Between working anywhere from four to seven hours every other day and trying to pick up my grades in priority to artwork, I haven't had time to do anything but Celestial certing and inking since they're for Arcane to run on PI. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br /><br />Hm.  I really need to draw something for that gorgeous saber-toothed tiger that appeared in 10,000 B.C., which we saw today. 8D  I so want a plushie of it. :<<br /><br />Anyways, I guess I might as well finish this by filling out the survey that Arcane had just posted since she took her first one from mine as well. xD  I like these things too much, and I dunno why. x3;  One thing might be because it helps me to procrastinate from finishing that crazy essay for English/U.S. History, blech. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Ten things about you.<br />1. Are you single: Yes.<br />2. Are you happy: Usually, when I'm around friends. :3 <br />3. Are you sad: Not as much as I had been the past two months, but I guess so.<br />5. Are you Italian: Somewhere, a little bit in my dad's side.  Or maybe that was Irish, I dunno. o_O<br />6. Are you expensive: Technically. X3;  So yes?<br />8. Are you blond: Nope. |3<br />9. Are you Irish: *points up at Italian question*<br />10. Are your parents still married: Yes, but I reaaaally wish they weren't anymore.  Then bitchmother could go away. |O<br /><br />Ten Facts<br />1. Name: Elisabeth/Cryptic/Wildfyre/Shippo/Fuzzbutt.<br />2. Birthplace: Heidelberg, Germany.<br />3. Real hair color: Dark Brown.<br />6. Birthday: April 13.<br />7. Mood: Icky.<br />8. Favorite color: Anything but brown, basically. xD<br />9. Where do you live?: Kentucky~<br />10. Left or right handed: Right. :3<br /><br />Ten Things About Your Love Life<br />1. Do you love someone: Sometimes I think so, but it's finally starting to wear off, if only ever so slightly. *shrug*<br />2. Do you believe in love at first sight?  Not personally, but I guess it can happen.<br />4. Have you ever hurt anyone emotionally: More than likely.<br />5. Have you ever broken someone's heart? Not that I know of.<br />7. Have you ever liked someone but never told them: Technically, but it got out, we got together, yadda yadda yadda.  I haven't had a crush or anything on anyone else before.  Ever. :<  I'm such a strange teenager. xD<br />9. Have you hugged someone within the last week: Er... just a few hours ago, actually.  So yeah. x3<br />10. Have you ever had a "secret" admirer:  I seriously doubt it.  Half the time I end up thinking I'm probably too stupid or don't look good enough for someone to admire me, even if I know that's not true.  I'm entitled to my small doubts. :< <br /><br />Ten This Or Thats<br />1. Love or lust: Love.<br />3. Cats or dogs: I've always been a cat person, but I've learned to love dogs a lot, too, so I can't choose. XD<br />4. A few best friends or many regular friends:  All things considered, I love my little 'family' of friends, so a few best friends does it for me. ;3<br />6. Pepsi or coke: Neither; Dr. Pepper. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br />7. Wild night out or romantic night in:  I like the sound of both, considering I wanna be cute and mushy and romantic with someone, but I also love the thought of going out and just being loose and crazy for a night. XD<br />8. Money or happiness: I'd prefer happiness over... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ 1. What is your one FLAWLESS talent?:<br />Pfft, flawless?  What are you, insane? o__O<br /><br />2. A new food/ tasty thing you have recently discovered:<br />Mexican Gumbo and Qdoba's.  It's not great, more like a Chipotle's rip-off, but still okay. |3<br /><br />3. Name a few guilty pleasures you have:<br />Uh... torturing innocent little tigerboys and making them hate me with a burning passion.  Cyrus, ilu~ <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />4.Something that has been bothering you lately:<br />Getting out of the home and how to support myself financially.  That's being taken care of through a job, savings account and my therapy, though.  There're a couple other things, but no one wants to hear about that. |3;<br /><br />5. Something that made you happy recently:<br />Um... I dunno.  News that I'll be going to see 10,000 B.C. tomorrow and a local band concert on Saturday, I guess.  *shrug*  I missed a complete weekend of fun with friends so hopefully things will be better this week. <3<br /><br />6. What are you listening to now, in terms of music? (if there is no music what did you listen to last?)<br />Emilie Autumn! >D<br /><br />7. On the subject of music, what kind of music seems to have piqued your interest lately:<br />Techno-y and heavy metal, as alwaaaays~ <33  I've had a thing for Blackmore's Night for a while along with a lot of J-Pop. X3;<br /><br />8. How often do use Japanese phrases?<br />Er... only when naming Kittix or adoptables.  Normally, I don't. xD;<br /><br />9. What do you plan on doing with your life:<br />Hopefully and primarily?  To follow Bridgette into helping start a successful metal band. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  I'm workin' on guitar bit by bit, and Gaige actually said he'd help me and Abi with it, so whoo, group effort! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />  But on the side, I'm looking at veteranary sciences, culinary arts, video game programmer and designer, or something like that.  I also plan to go into college, but that will have to wait until I'm actually out of this Goddess-forsaken house.<br /><br />10. A burning passion you have:<br />...right now?<br /><br />I WANT SOME FUCKIN' GOOD STRAWBERRIES.  No more baked potatoes, dude.  Strawberries.  Now, plz. <33<br /><br />11. Cutest couple you know here on DA!<br />Chrisee (Takurami!) x SilentlyScheming (Keikaku!) 8D<br /><br />12. Did you ever own a Neopets account, and if so what was your user name?<br />Peheh, no, my computer rejected Neopets.  Subeta all the way. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />13. What do you think of when you look at a sunset?<br />Happy things that had happened with me over the last year that I just can't seem to find anymore.  It makes me rather reminiscent and lonely, to be honest, so I normally don't watch it.  Much like looking at the stars at night.  Right now?  It doesn't feel like it holds much meaning to me anymore.<br /><br />14. What is one thing you have really been itching to do lately?<br />Work on Photoshop, but between work and school, I've got no time to give love to my tablet. :C<br /><br />15. What element would you consider yourself?<br />Fiyah! >D<br /><br />16. Something that has made you very sad/ nervous:<br />Erm... I dunno. oO;  There're a lot of things that make me pretty sad, so what's new? |3;  Just keep smiling and move on~<br /><br />17. What is one thing you ALWAYS keep track of?<br />Myself.  'Cause I'm falling behind and falling apart in every which way due to being so busy, and it's getting stressful enough to where I'm coming home feeling pretty sick after work at night.<br /><br />18. Favorite number EVER!!!!<br />25, but usually anything with a multiple of 5. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />19. Do you consider yourself to be a genius in any field?<br />Um... math?  Drawing, I guess.  I dunno, half the time I feel like a fucking idiot with how people talk to me, and my grades aren't exactly beautiful right now.<br /><br />I'M A GENIUS IN PROCRASTINATION. I'M SO BRILLIANT.<br /><br />20. A hobby you have that not everyone knows:<br />I like to sew and practice my singing, even if it doesn't sound anywhere as good as Bridgette gets with her beautiful voice. ;3  Um... I also love to develop maps and worlds with plants and creatures of unique proportions in them.  That may or may not be obvious. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />21. The ideal age of a person is:<br />In reference to Abi?  16, pfft. XD  Wouldn't it be THE le... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hooboy, I'll be having a pretty damn busy week, as you might have noticed. .__.;  Between school, work, a make-up test, a doctor's appointment and the ACT... *'splodes*<br /><br />~~<br /><br /><u>Work Schedule This Week:</u><br /><br />Monday:  8-Closing<br />Wednesday:  7-Closing<br />Friday:  6-Closing<br />Saturday:  6-Closing<br />Sunday:  6-Closing<br /><br />~~<br /><br /><u>Doctor's Appointments:</u><br /><br />Monday at 3:30 PM.  Meaning I'm gonna have to leave school at 3:00 and that sucks. DD:  Seeing results of my kindey test to see if I need that surgery or not.<br /><br />My next appointment with my therapist isn't until next Monday, the 17th, at 8:00 AM so that I can make it back to school 'fore the end of first period.<br /><br />~~<br /><br /><u>ACT/Orchestra Trip?</u><br /><br />I dunno what's going on here.  I'm supposed to be taking the ACT on Tuesday, so it makes me wonder why the hell the Orchestra Assessment field trip was scheduled for the same day.<br /><br />~~<br /><br /><u>Make-Up Test:</u><br /><br />Due to circumstances, I've still not had the chance to make up that test for AP History, so I'm planning to do that Tuesday afternoon, too. x___x;  So I dunno how that'll work out.  If the orchestra goes out of school that day, then I might be able to stay behind and do it when they're gone since I have Orchestra fourth period. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  Geez.<br /><br />~~<br /><br />~~<br /><br />I really hope I survive this week. |3;  And 'cause I haven't updated with anything that would qualify as a real update yet, I might as well do that.  Hm.<br /><br />Well, as stated, I'm seeing a therapist on depression now, yaaay.  Thankfully, she wasn't as dumb as the school's social worker and she'll hopefully be able to help me with the legalities on getting out of this home. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pissed.gif" width="15" height="20" alt=":pissed:" title="Pissed" /><br /><br />I dunno, nothing else interesting as really happened except for the huge amount of snow and ice we had yesterday and I got 16 G gauges today. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  They're cute and rainbow. X3  <33<br /><br />Anyways, that should about wrap it up since I'm doin' a Kittix event right now, so... xD  *skitters off*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ 1 | <b>What is the name of your fursona?</b><br />Wildfyre<br /><br />2 | <b>Where did the name of your Fursona come from? </b><br />To be honest, I have no earthly clue. o.o;  I named a character Wildfire for some reason, probably 'cause I like flames and she was a wild character. XD  That, and my dad had recently told me about a song about a horse named Wildfire (before the awesome ABC Family series that I've fallen horribly behind on. owo; ) and I liked it.  So much that I took it from my character and used it for my fursona.  I thought changing a i with a y would make things just a little more unique (after naming a character Snowfyre) and so Wildfyre stuck. <3  *luffles it*<br /><br />3 | <b>What species is your fursona and why did you choose that species? </b><br />I guess you could say she's a timber wolf.  She was originally a wolf as big as a horse (guess why. xD *points up) but she's shrunken down to the size of a little bigger than a normal wolf.  But given her colours and such, she'd probably be Timber.  (I sometimes wonder if she is also part bat (blind), fox (Shippo!) and squirrel (Tarot animal messenger read by a Rikaaaa). |D; )<br /><br />4 | <b>What color is your fursona and why? Hair/fur/eyes/etc.</b><br />She's mostly black and darker gray.  Dark on the upper half of her body, gray on the lower half with the exception of one black paw, her back right.  Her eyes are bicoloured, gold on the left and green on the right.  When I draw her off to the side, though, I always colour it green regardless.  When I draw her and you can see both eyes, then they work. x3  She's black and gray 'cause I stole it from another character of mine who had a wolf familiar with the same colours.  I just made her more black and he was. |3;  The eyes were because I love bicoloured eyes on animals, but I didn't want blue and green or blue and brown. |D;<br /><br />5 | <b>What is your fursona's personality and how does this compare to your RL personality? </b><br />She's... spazztic and crazy, and a complete ditz.  In chibi form, anyway. xD;  Normally she'd probably be just like me, and she'd try to be romantic and succeed sometimes, fail most others.  She did well with posing with Silver, though, which she could still do since we didn't break up our fursonas. ;3  They were too cute together and we couldn't do it. xD  *gives Wildfyre and Silver luff*  Compared to me, she's like the person I want to be:  I wanna be more spontaneous and more fun, but I haven't quite gotten there yet. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />6 | <b>What is one item your fursona owns that is significant to you in RL? </b><br />Hm.  Well, she wears a heart necklace that kind of just spontaneously came into existence while I was dating Silver, so now it had stuck and she still wears it.  I guess you could say it's like a memory of our former relationship while it lasted. ^^<br /><br />7 | <b>What is one thing you think you would say to your fursona if you could meet? </b><br />"Zomg! 8D"<br /><br />8 | <b>What is one thing your fursona would say to you if you could meet? </b><br />"...whut.  o__o;  You draw me!  Why the fuck are you here? 8<"<br /><br />9 | <b>How has your fursona changed over the years? </b><br />She became more of a character. x3  She's used for everything that I draw with, and she's one of my favourite subjects to draw as obvious from my older sketchbooks and my gallery here. XD  She's just become something that I've attached my innerself to, and I use her to express myself, whereas she used to just be a wolf to represent me when I first made her. ;3<br /><br />10 | <b>How long have you had this fursona? </b><br />Hm.  I made her a little after meeting Silver, so almost five years now. ^^<br /><br />11 | <b>Would you like to be more like your fursona? </b><br />In certain aspects. XD;  She might be too annoying sometimes and would get shot.  Otherwise, I would love to be carefree, outgoing and overall more fun than the boring stick in the mud I am right now. |D;<br /><br />- Now tag three people. Â<br /><br />Now... whoever read this was tagged? X3<br /><br />I was amused. XD  Stolen from a Takaeji!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Agh, so sleepy. XD  I guess that's what one gets when they go to a hotel party and joins into the crazy photo-taking, Guitar Hero-playing, violent balloon-hitting fun. X3  That, and I got to see all of mah friends all smexified in pretty clothes and make-up done by Franziska and it was priceless!  Thankfully Silver enjoyed herself and the outfit that Amber and I got for her, which makes me immensely happy that she liked it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  Not to mention that it looked awesomely good with the choker we got her, the new guages Abi got her and the gorgoeus purple make-up that Fran did. ^^  (I helped! XD)  <br /><br />I can't wait until Silver gets all of the pictures up and I can save some of them. <3  Mostly everyone even did some awesome lesbian poses which you must admit are pretty hot. XD  (I did two, but I kept smiling and messed up the atmosphere. owo; In the other one, it looked like Marissa's hair was eatin' mah face. |D; *epic fail despite being half lesbian and having kissed a girl before anyhow* XD; )  I'll even admit that I liked my pictures, too, since the make-up was great and I didn't really look like myself, though I was cheesing a little with mah big teef. D:  I do think that I look better without glasses, though~ :3<br /><br />I certainly hope yer birthday was a memorable one, Silvie-butt! X3  *gives much love*<br /><br />Anyways, I should probably also post my work schedule for this week:<br /><br />-<b>Friday</b> from 8-11 PM<br />-<b>Saturday</b> from 8-11 PM<br /><br />I have no idea how I'm going to work around work and getting to Abi's party as well. D:  I need to go out and get her birthday present sometime this week, too, after I get loads of crap for class turned in.  It seems that I may show up, leave for work and then come back, or just come really late, but I don't want to do that. D:  So I might do the former; I'll just have to figure it out, eheh.<br /><br />Anyways, I really should probably be getting back to finishing the oral history report for AP History, so... XD;<br /><br />~~<br /><br />EDIT:  No wait, waaaait, she got 'em up before I had to log off! X3  'Course, you gotta be on MySpace to see 'em, but y'nkow. |3  I'm teh one Silver/Bridgette calls Elisy! x3  Da one wiff squarish glasses, long brown hair and blue make-up. |D;<br /><br />The first two are from Silver's camera:<br /><br /><a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=169149637&albumId=1301990">[link]</a><br /><br /><a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=169149637&albumId=1302133">[link]</a><br /><br />And this one is from Franziska's camera:<br /><br /><a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=226058444&albumId=637738">[link]</a><br /><br />Rika's camera pictures are hopefully soon to come! x3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

(since there's like... 21 minutes of it left before my post is late. xD)  Wildfyre gives everyone some love! ^^<br /><br />Surprisingly, today wasn't <i>as</i> bad as I thought it'd be.  Of course I ended up feeling pretty sad myself, but that was only 'cause Silv and Rika wouldn't stop talking about how depressing Valentine's is for singles. xD;  Though, I agree with them, seeing all this chicks in school carrying around hugeass teddybears that were really cute didn't help much. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  Otherwise I managed it very well, though, I think.  I actually felt quite happy this morning and passed out silly little cards and heart-shaped Reese's like a nerd, and I got to see Silvie look gorgeous in an all out black and red-plaid outfit that matched and looked great. <3  (And just 'cause I'm not yer girlfriend no more dun mean I can't think you look sexy in that corset, right? X3)<br /><br />Haha, of course, I've been kicking myself mentally about not saying anything to her personally all day.  D:  I kept thinking about it and really wanted to, but when I tried, I squeaked and then nothing came out. Again.  o____o  So I guess I'll have to settle for a journal post this time.  Next time, I really will kick myself if I do that again. |<<br /><br />Anywho, I also made the awesome God of Candle Flames, who is technically a god of destiny and death combined, so whoo! XD  I lubbers him muchly, and he's currently viewable in my gallery. <3  I've also got a new Wildfyre pic up, too, that I'm proud of for the background. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  I think I've been getting better, though they look horribly cartoonish.<br /><br />Hm.  I wonder why I never actually use this for actual updates all that much. xD;  So here's a first, yepyep. <3<br /><br />But yes.  Um.  That's all for now. XD  *skips off~*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Meme that Silv stole from MySpace that I filched from her. xD<br /><br />~*~*~<br /><br />1. Where's the person you have feelings for right now?<br />--> On the other side of the AIM screen, dur. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" />  Meaning she'd be at home, unless her ghost's taking over her computer an impersonating her. o.o  *kidding*  But yes, she's at home. :3<br /><br />2. What are you doing friday?<br />--> Workin'! >O  Gotta serve up some ice cream like crazy!  And hope that I don't get stuck with a frozen tub. Or THREE.  Again. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" />  *workin' at Cold Stone Creamery, lalala~*<br /><br />3 . Did the last person you held hands with mean anything to you?<br />--> Of course she did, and she still does mean a whole lot to me.  Girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, best-friend, however one puts it... I care for her in every way, because a relationship that didn't quite work out shouldn't spoil a wonderful friendship that I've enjoyed for almost five years now.  We're still really close, and I want to keep it that way. ;3  Friends don't always have to 'come and go,' y'know?<br /><br />4. Do you sleep with the TV on?<br />--> What, are you crazy? <<  I can if it's on low volume, but half the time, I can't even stand the flashing light, so nope. |D;<br /><br />5. What are you doing right now?<br />-->  Talking wiff Bridgette through IM while drooling over this gorgeous black and red Kaveri boy on the PonyIsland General Adoptables forum. x3  (Adoptables drawn by Chutkat, run by Desari. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />)<br /><br />6. Who's myspace password do you have?<br />--> My own, of course, and Bridgette's, since I have her passwords for, like... everything. XD<br /><br />7.what did you do yesterday?<br />--> Nothing important, really.  We had a pep rally at school, then I came home and finished Saber's book, "The Sword," and started Wolfer's, "The Wolf."  I need to speedread through it and get to Dom's book so that I can HOPEFULLY make it in time for the release of Evanor's book.  Note hopefully! xD;  *such a slow reader, eheheheh*<br /><br />8. Do you have a job?<br />--> *points up*  Ice cream job! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />10. Have you ever been suspended or expelled from school?<br />--> Nope, for I Am Nerd!  And a goody-two-shoes when it comes to school. XD;  Usually. |3;<br /><br />12. Have you ever crawled through a window?<br />--> Nuh-uh, 'cause Wildfyre's lame and never got to do stuff like that.  Unless you count the ones in the little plastic 'clubhouses' that sit in your back yard that so many have when they're little.  :B<br /><br />13. Who knows a secret or two about you?<br />--> Er... I don't know, to be honest, since I don't generally keep secrets. oO;  I occasionally hide something, like how I used to hide my mother's violence towards me, but that's out in the open now, and I can't think of having anything secret to have someone else keep secret either.  Bridgette would be the only one I'd say would know something secret about me that I can't think of off of the top of my head. xD;<br /><br />14. Can you handle the truth?<br />--> I guess it depends.  Sometimes it can scare you when you don't know what the truth is, and you can either handle it, or you can't.<br /><br />15. Are you too forgiving?<br />--> *coughs*  Surely not.  Nope.  Nuh-uh.  Zilch.  Natta.  <<;  Considering I can never stand having anyone mad at me, and I can't stand staying mad at anyone but my fuckin' parents, what do you think? xD<br /><br />16. Have you ever had a sleepover with the opposite sex?<br />--> Technically, though I don't think brothers of friends count since they're not involved in that sleepover. xD;  But there's been Tim, though, at Rika and Marissa's parties. :3<br /><br />17. Do you like Olive Garden?<br />--> Never been there, but I'd like to go! XD  I've developed quite a liking for GOOD Italian, and I wanna try it! owo<br /><br />20. Do you have trust issues?<br />--> No, not considering my friends.  I feel like I can tell them everything, even if it sometimes takes a little longer when it's something I'm uncomfortable with or whatever else it might be.  Of course, now I have no problem at all, and I think being in my first relationship had a lot to opening me up like that.  Sometimes I even think that I can be too trusting, too.<br /><br />21. Would you live with someone without marrying them?<br />--> Why not? |D  Hell, for years, my friends and I have talking about more than likely moving into a big ol' home together as roommates with a menagerie of pets and whatnot. x3  You dun have to have a lover to live with them, and even then, you dun have to... ]]></description>
