                <description><![CDATA[ So um. I'm good at disappearing and then suddenly reappearing.<br />
<br />
 Anyway.<br />
<br />
 I'm not used to CG-ing anymore and everything I do seems to be coming out worse and worse. xDD Totally not cool. And I've been told my style (and I use that term loosely) is really generic. Which it is. Because I'm not really looking to stand out among the crowd of anime artists with REAL talent; I'm just having fun. If they can make a few bucks or a successful career off it, then great, more power to them. But seeing as I'm not looking to sell and they're not looking to buy, then I don't see any problem. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
 Anyway.<br />
<br />
 My parents aren't supporting my being an artist anymore either, not even in my free time (not that I have any anymore anyway). xD I'm not allowed to take Studio art classes next year =/ I don't like drawing realism in my free time, but I love it when I have to for class, which, surprisingly, garners more praise than everything else I've drawn. I don't want to be an artist; it's just something I enjoy doing. And it's not like I'm going to stop, so, you know, whatever. Parents are silly like that~<br />
<br />
 Anyway.<br />
<br />
 I'm not even majoring in art when I get to college. English, 'sup. Maybe a minor in art or creative writing, but we'll see.<br />
<br />
 Anyway.<br />
<br />
 Mostly making icons and posting at my livejournal.<br />
<br />
 That's about it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
 <sub>With any luck I'll not disappear for another four months. :3</sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay. I totally suck. Well, actually, no. Plane Geometry sucks. Why I chose to voluntarily immerse myself in my most-hated school subject for acceleration purposes I don't even need is COMPLETELY BEYOND ME.<br />
<br />
 But because of it, it's caused my soul to die and float away on those little cartoon wings. It's kind of depressing, actually. I've asked just about every one of my friends to please bash my head against any hard surface (repeatedly if needed) so I could get a concussion and go home. But no.<br />
<br />
 As a result, I've now been sapped of every sort of creativity that has ever been granted to me. I can't draw, I can't write, and I basically need to get away from it all. So I'm taking a brief hiatus (not that I've been on much anyway) 'till school ends in like two and a half weeks. In the meantime, I'll be trying my very hardest to finish that Sync/Anise giftart I promised <a href="http://servantrider.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/servantrider.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconservantrider:" title="servantrider"/></a> and temporarily rejoining Gaia to assist <a href="http://eruruu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/r/eruruu.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconeruruu:" title="eruruu"/></a> in regaining her Nitemare Scarf, if she'll still have me. ;3<br />
<br />
 You'll still be able to contact me at my livejournal.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Oh yeah. Here's the full commentary to the <a>timeline. </a>It's kind of...long. DDx I like to talk, what can I say? xD<br />
<br />
<b>October 2003</b> - My good ol' Neopets days. 8DD Of course, I was...what, ten, then? The ugliness is understandable, I suppose, but. Urgh. I still love you, Moon, even if I forgot the password to my Neopets account like a gazillion months ago. Anyway, if you deign to go to my <a href="http://seaprincess155.deviantart.com">old dA account</a>, you can view all the suckage for yourself. ;D<br />
<br />
<b>November 2003</b> - ...Oh my. I'm not sure whether I should laugh or cry...poor Gale. What became of her, I have no idea, but she was one of my most favorite Harry Potter Past RP characters. Poor girl had a crush on one of the Marauders...I can't remember who, but it's just as well. xD<br />
<br />
<b>February 2004</b> - AND SO IT BEGINS. Hah hah~three years and I still haven't made enough leeway with Photoshop. The worst thing about it is that you can still tell I drew that. My mom even laughed at me. DD8<br />
<br />
<b>April 2004</b> - This, even despite all its mistakes, remains one of my all-time-favorite pieces. For one thing, it's Sea, my first peophin on the old Sea_princess_155 account. I managed to get a hold of a Striped paintbrush (I still don't know how that happened), which was like an absolute dream come true for me [since the Island Paintbrush for Moon afterwards never exactly came to full fruitation]. And also...this was all on one layer. Because I did not figure out that layers existed until 2005. So it also has great sentimental value to me.<br />
<br />
<b>April 2004</b> - Two pieces for April just so we can take a look at the contrast. xD I evidently had Peophins on the mind at all times, especially since this was for an art project. I obviously had a much steadier hand on paper than on the computer, though the lines are just horrendous. -shudder- The shape of the head, however, is much improved. ...and my mother just laughed at me again. T-T<br />
<br />
<b>June 2004</b> - In which I show off my adept skills at using the Paint Bucket. Somewhere in between I learned how to use layers. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<b>September 2004</b> - AUGH. NO. JUST NO. ANNIE IS NOT TO UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES RECALL BAD MEMORIES ABOUT EX-BOYFRIEND. ASDFGHJKL; NO. ...In other news, I finally learned that hair is not equivalent to a fat flag flying in the wind. Sorta. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> <br />
<br />
<b>October 2004</b> - Uh yeah...so I went through this phase where I was having a facial-crisis. Poor Kairi. Dx<br />
<br />
<b>May 2005</b> - ...And hark we fast-forward to May since I evidently took a five-month hiatus to pursue a little thing called life. xD Anyway...I did at one point attempt to draw a manga. Obviously it was a failure since I got to a grand total of two pages done before I scrapped it. I still have the idea, though. It would prolly make a good video game (you can call me anytime, Square Enix). I would totally fangirl over Otaka-sensei, too, if he didn't like, die on the never-drawn third page (though I suppose that never stopped Yondy xD).<br />
<br />
<b>July 2005</b> - And here we reach the end of our Sea_Princess_155 account. It is only fitting, of course, to use the last piece I uploaded to said account. True, she has Betty-Spaghetti legs (does anyone actually remember that? xD) but the rest of her anatomy is...sound enough. Maybe. Well, it's definitely getting better. -satisfied nod-<br />
<br />
<b>December 2005</b> - Woah. Another timeskip. 8DD First upload on this account~this is another one I like because of my airbrush phase on Photoshop that lasted...oh, about a month. xD At least you can see that my faces finally have some semblance of a face. -nodnod-<br />
<br />
<b>February 2006</b> - I've never learned to draw guys. xD This was a rather bizarre request from childhood friend's older brother, who I also grew up with. I will probably never draw something this...well, like this, ever again. I still harbor a fondness for him, though. 8DD<br />
<br />
<b>May 2006</b> - I'm skipping April because there weren't any pieces worth showing. May, however, was a good month for me. So we get two of them. 8DD First one's the first remotely-equine thing since...about two years ago. xD I can't say if it's any better, though. Laura and Mike get the second May-space. I love Laura ahelluva lot more than Mike. I love her even more with Corey. xD But this one got over a hundred views in a day because everyone at school told everyone else about it and the whole eighth-grade class decided to go and take a look-see. But yeah. I'm sorta proud of this pic because why hay look! There's more than one person in it~!<br />
<br />
<b>June 2006</b> - ...I drew a lo... ]]></description>

<br />
 Oh good lord. Let's take a moment to weigh my good against my bad. I haven't drawn anything decent in over four weeks. I got a 93% on my math test. I'm way behind on commissions (like...seven pieces worth). My parents fed me chocolate tonight. <b>My laptop broke. My scanner broke.</b>I got about seventy new songs. Finals on Monday. "Let's-Pretend-To-Do-Stuff-But-Really-Don't" on Friday. I haven't done any holiday shopping. Starting Tuesday, I get out at 1:15. <br />
<br />
 My friend is dragging me to go see "Eragon" with her on Saturday. Please kill me now. I'm going to claw my eyes out with my ragged fingernails anyway.<br />
<br />
 So uh...no art from me until next week--I'm also Gaia-deprived and I should be going to bed now. <br />
<br />
 I'm also down to my last juicebox. Damn.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...Okay. So I'm sitting at the computer, ready to upload a new sketch into Photoshop. I happily put it in the scanner, push the little button, and wait. ...For seven friggin' minutes. I push the button again. Nothing. So...Fruckadoodles. My scanner's broken.<br />
<br />
 So in order to pixelize this lovely picture of mine, I am forced to use my <i>webcam</i>. That's right. My ancient webcam, which is as slow as hell and takes worse pictures than a cucumber on speed. No joke.<br />
<br />
 ...Oh boy. This is gonna be fun.<br />
<br />
 But on the other hand, I've been craving juice boxes for who knows how long. No, not just juice. But SPECIFICALLY juice IN A BOX. Hence, the term juice box. And I finally got one. Except...its kind of gone now. Dx ...Must go get another one!!<br />

Well actually, I'm working on one of them right now for priorities' sake. Think of the 60k, Annie, think of the 60k, 50k of which will be going to Alli anyway.<br />
<br />
 ...and no one caught my kiriban, which is prolly a good thing, considering how busy I am right now. -shot-<br />
<br />
 Anyway, in other news, we went to College Fair at Navy Pier today, Alli and I. No Ivy League schools were there, so we opted for prestige instead. I'm now considering going to Mount Holyoke in MA or Barnard in NY. Both are womens' colleges, by the way. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
 Well anyway, it's been a whole month (and then some) since school started and I can officially say that I'm already pretty effed. <br />
<br />
 I lost my effing bag with all of my valuables except for my cellphone yesterday at the Homecoming Assembly. My pencil bag, graphing calculator (yes, that lovely thing worth over a $100), key to my drawer for Art Class, and two books neccessary for EPOC. All gone. And ID card. AND that really cute Icha Icha Paradise wallet P-dark got me for my birthday. I'M SORREEEEE!! And pissed 'cause I'll prolly never get it back. >_>;;<br />
<br />
 But I'm also somewhat pleased with myself as I just got home from Homecoming. I went from single to steady in three hours. Aren't you proud of me? <br />
<br />
 ...I feel like a slut. xD Oh well.<br />
<br />
 Oh. Yeah. The MAIN reason for this post.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18167071"> N I N J A S A N D A R S E N I C</a> is a joint auction I'm hosting for my best friend's Ninja Headband on Gaia. <br />
<br />
 Go and bid if you've a) got an account there and b) have enough money. Or go and bump and chat with me 'cause I'd really appreciate it.<br />

<br />
 Hur hur, I'm so lame. I was supposed to bring a "fun item" to EPOC (the class for nerds who like English) and so I brought this stuffed sheep (named Sheep) that my friend Brittany gave me for my birthday. And the period before EPOC I was stuck in the mosh pit, otherwise known as the corridor between the small café and that...other hallway, and he bounced out of my arms. Someone probably picked him up and took him home because he was so cute. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/love.gif" width="23" height="16" alt=":love:" title="Love" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay. I'm back from Alaska. Srsly. Okay. Let's break my vacation down.<br />
<br />
<i>Day One</i><br />
<br />
Upon my arrival in Seattle, I get to sleep in a cheap-ass motel with paper-thin walls. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> I swear, people get raped in those places. T_T <br />
<br />
<i>Day Two</i> <br />
<br />
We go to Mount St. Helens in Washington and I almost fell down the side of a mountain. Well, that wasn't so bad, but there was an awful lot of ash everywhere. Lots of flowers too; pretty in a kind of depressing way. <br />
<br />
 Then to Mount Rainier, which was much prettier and less ashy. A three-hour drive up winding mountain roads that harbored three-thousand foot drops. I kept imagining my imminent death, but by some great miracle, none came. Upon arrival at the observatory, there were too many clouds, so we couldn't actually see the mountain.<br />
<br />
 Back to the crappy motel we go.<br />
<br />
<i>Day Three</i><br />
<br />
 Out of the crappy hotel and to Olympia National Park, which got us a much better view of snow-capped mountains. I took a picture of a deer peeing. I didn't mean to, but the moment was just kind of there. Another six-hour drive out of the park with, again, three-thousand-foot drops fortelling my imminent death, of which none came.<br />
<br />
 Then to Angeles Harbor. We drove our car onto a ferry that ferried us to Victoria, B.C. in Canada. I love those Canadiennes...Canadians, whatever. Canada is much nicer than the states. Lots of flowers. Very pretty.<br />
<br />
 Slept at a nice hotel this time with a heated pool and an attaché Chinese restaurant where the parents gossiped about the kids and the kids gossiped about the parents. Hey, we're Chinese. It's what we do.<br />
<br />
<i>Day Four</i><br />
<br />
 Went to Buchart Gardens and found out that marshmallow farms do, in fact, exist. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> Bought some souviners, walked around the gardens...<br />
<br />
...okay, yeah. You don't need to know what I did for the last two days, which consisted mostly of walking, eating, and sleeping.<br />
<br />
Fast-forward to <i>Days Five and Six:</i><br />
<br />
 Got on the ship after lots of customs. Ate. Slept.<br />
<br />
<i>Days Seven thru Nine:</i><br />
<br />
 Visted Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway. Went shopping, took bus-tours, played card games, got caught in the rain, went back on the boat, did some tarot card readings with my faithful Naruto cards. Ate. Slept.<br />
<br />
<i>Days Ten and Eleven:</i> <br />
<br />
 Didn't get off the boat, hung out with friends, met a five-foot-nine-or-so thirteen-year-old who I had a bitch-slapping party with. Ate. Slept.<br />
<br />
<i>Days Twelve and Twelve-and-a-Half</i><br />
<br />
 Got off the ship, drove to Anchorage, touched a glacier, went to the airport, flew to Denver, waited five hours, flew to Chicago, badabing, I'm home at three in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
 At some point in time during the cruise, I was struck down by a virus which left me with a fever for the last two or so days and a sore throat that hurts when I swallow. Also, during the landing from Denver to Chicago, I became half-deaf in my left ear. It's a long story as to the reason why and I don't want to gross any of you out (Amanda and Alli were already gagging when I told them). So I'm now irritable, sick, and feel like a retard having to hold on to a winter coat in eighty-degree weather.<br />
<br />
 <a href="http://paralleltodarkness.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/a/paralleltodarkness.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="paralleltodarkness" /></a> and <a href="http://jyppster.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/y/jyppster.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="jyppster" /></a> and I spazzed the entire time. It was great fun. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
 Back to finishing my commissions, getting better, and going to Alli's house this weekend to have a Will and Grace marathon at her place with my DVD's. <br />
<br />
 ...My DVD player also broke and my iPod froze for over four hours. Someone's out to screw me over. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm headin' out to Seattle tomorrow, and then onto Canada and Alaska. I'll be gone 'till August 12th, and I promise that I won't bother you again with mid-vacation pictures. xD<br />
<br />
 Yes, I have been vacationing a lot this summer and yes, this'll be the last time I leave this summer. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> When I get back, I'm probably going to write a long-ass recount of what I did. Look forward to it! <br />
<br />
 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Crys<br />

 P.S. Gaian Art Shoppe will also be on hiatus during this time. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, yeah. I was actually back from Michigan Sunday evening. Of course, it would have made no difference as I had internet access for half the trip, but now that I'm back, I can have my old work schedule back.<br />
<br />
 GAAAAAH. Must...work...on...commissions...THREE incomplete and taking on a new one...T_T I'm tired enough, and on top of that, I'm currently working on a -secret- project. Many, many layers. >_o;; <br />
<br />
 Also leaving again on Tuesday evening (August 1st); spending twelve days on the North-west coast/Canada. Which also means I'll be missing high-school registration. -sniff- How troublesome. Oh well.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Uh...yeah. In about a half an hour, I probably won't see Deviantart until the 24th. That's because I'm leaving for Traverse City, Michigan, with my friend Alaina and her family. They're so nice to take me with them every year. T_T<br />
<br />
 So our art shoppe on Gaia will be on hiatus until we get back, at which time, Kali Kai (Alaina) will hopefully be able to open shop and we'll be able to do our dynamic duo thing. xD You can still order if you'd like. We just won't be there to take it until we get back.<br />
<br />
 Expect a crapload of art upon my return. TALLY-HO!!<br />
<br />
 P.S. I saw PotC a few days ago. Now I can say I saw it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...I'm opening up an art shop on Gaia. There are some things that I want and can't afford right away by just foruming all the time, so I thought that some extra dough would be mighty nice. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> Plus, I'm helping my friend SkySapphire quest for her Ninja Headband. She's been hittin' the Naruto pretty hard lately. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
 Anyway my username is <i>Celestialantern</i> and my shop will be called "Confections." It actually might turn out to be a joint project with a friend of mine named "Kali Kai." If you see either of us around, feel free to stop in once the shop's up and running, m'kay?  <br />
<br />
 ALSO. Trip to Michigan, if you haven't noticed, has been canceled until NEXT Friday. T_T Stupid building inspector and his stupid, fat, laziness. >_>;; ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ *cough*<br />
<br />
 So my computer has been complete crapola for the past...how ever the hell long its been (as you might have heard many times) and it's impossible to get everything done. As a result, I've been inactive on a lot of forums lately and I'm especially sorry for that. <br />
<br />
 I finally got my internet up and running...for the time being, and so I'll take this time to apologize to KH~AD in particular because I've not been on in like...a month because by the time I'm ready to click "submit," my service dies on me. And now you guys are hacked. T_T Stupid hacker; I hope you go to hell.  <br />
<br />
 My AIM and MSN has been like that too, so if you were a victim of me quitting on you in the middle of a conversation, well, I'm sorry for that too.<br />
<br />
 On the plus note, though, my character DID manage to make Chuunin on SRPG on her first try! YOSH!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> My inner-Gai is bursting with springtime of YOUTH!! MWAHA! -cough- Sorry.<br />
<br />
 An on the other plus side, I finally finished something else! Huzzah! <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/34971432/">[link]</a> <br />
<br />
  Well...um...I'll try to be on more in future.<br />
<br />
 P.S. I had fun in D.C. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A LOT of crap.<br />
<br />
 <i>Monday</i><br />
<br />
 There wasn't school 'cause of Memorial Day, so my parents and I slept until noon and then cleaned our house. I hate cleaning.<br />
<br />
 <i>Tuesday</i><br />
<br />
 I missed Student Council because I forgot and woke up late. It was, more or less, our last formal day of school-school. Mm-hm.<br />
<br />
 <i>Wednesday</i><br />
<br />
 Our friggin' Awards Ceremony. Four less awards than last year. I've had six people tell me that it's just an award and that I need to get over it. It's not JUST an award, people. It's a sign of how much one has achieved. I am severely underachieved. SEVERELY. And our school system is severely screwed up; I missed exactly three hours of school last March. I was sick with a 102 fever and I sacrificed my health to make sure that I got in at least half a day. I think that deserves a break, but nooooo. Godammit; half a day of school (more like 65%) apparently means that it's not enough for "Perfect Attendance," something I've achieved for the last two years. GAH. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.<br />
<br />
 <i>Thursday</i> <br />
<br />
 Decades' Day. Our class's presentation sucked the most. But I got to see Marina, one of my best friends, as Michael Jackson. It was pretty cool (and the similarity is frightening).<br />
<br />
 <i>Friday</i><br />
<br />
 ...That's today. Anyway, today was our Eighth Grade boat trip to Chicago. ...It was fun. My feet felt like they were burning in hell (three-inch heels, baby!), but besides that, it was fun. I took a lot of pictures. Sahil went with Bethany and I took...four pictures of them. And in every one of them, Sahil looks possessed. It was pretty. Funny. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
 And then I fell asleep about seven times on the bus ride home and I found out that once, I fell asleep on Jonathan's shoulder (Jonathan was my date-friend.) and that Abby got a picture of it. God, Abby, I WILL KILL YOU.<br />
<br />
 So yeah. Crappy week, but whatever. I'm so ready to sleep in during the weekend. ]]></description>

 <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/view/33637363/">[link]</a>   <--View! YES, VIEW!!<br />
<br />
 It was screwed up earlier, but now that I fixed it, it's making me feel even better. I'm drawing my plum-button, Bethany (we concieved a child together, don't you know? She had half the baby, I had the other half, and through the process of binary fusion, we smooshed them together to make one whole baby), and her boyfriend, Sahil next. Nah; kidding, Sahil. I love you! Just not in that way! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /><br />
<br />
 TWELVE days of school left! I can hardly wait; there's a ton of stuff I want to do once summer break is here; including go to Washington D.C. with my school because it's something I've been waiting for for...a really long time. Three days of recluse and learning about our nation's history. Whoopee. I'm not too thrilled with America at the moment, but I like museums.<br />
<br />
 Art-wise, I'm working on a new character...she has really cool hair. xD Hopefully I'll get it up by June. Maybe. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Stole from <a href="http://eruruu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/r/eruruu.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="eruruu" /></a> 'cause I'm just stopud like that. xD PH33R my 733t french skillz!!<br />
<br />
<b>BASICS</b><br />
1)What's your character's name?<br />
Enrai...Miyabita Enrai =3<br />
<br />
2)How old is he/she?<br />
14 at present time (her birthday was April 7th)<br />
<br />
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?<br />
Girl! (My boy chars aren't as interesting. xD 'Cept for Lizo. But he's special in a different way.)<br />
<br />
4)What's his/her race?<br />
NINJA! *cough* I mean, human.<br />
<br />
<b>APPEARANCE</b><br />
1)If this character were to suddenly become part of the 3D world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?<br />
<br />
A moderate amount, I think. Her biological features are normal enough...it's her outfit that would attract the attention. <br />
<br />
2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?<br />
Horribly so.<br />
<br />
3)What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?<br />
The pony-tail. And large, pink bow. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?<br />
Mildly, yes. She's not gorgeous, but she's pleasant to look at. <br />
<br />
<br />
PERSONALITY<br />
1)Temper?<br />
...virtually nonexistant. She gets frustrated sometimes, but otherwise...no.<br />
<br />
2)Does your character ever get depressed?<br />
Once. <br />
<br />
3)Leader or Follower?<br />
Follower. She feels more comfortable in groups when she's given a plan that's set in stone.<br />
<br />
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?<br />
She is incredibly steady. She doesn't think on an impulse and is very precocious.<br />
<br />
<b>HISTORY</b><br />
1) Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?<br />
Yes, a mother, a father, and a sister. They're all still alive. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
2) Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?<br />
Sorta. She has a team but since the death of one of her teammates, they've all been kinda goin' their own ways.<br />
<br />
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?<br />
Not especially. Getting caught in a war and seeing all the dead bodies, maybe, but it didn't traumatize her.<br />
<br />
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?<br />
Uh...I have no idea. Her life is, for the most part, hunky-dory.<br />
<br />
ROMANCE<br />
1) Single?<br />
Mm-hm.<br />
<br />
2) Had your OC developed any romantic relationships?<br />
Nope.<br />
<br />
3) Virgin?<br />
Uh...yes. D=<br />
<br />
4) Does your character like flirting?<br />
No. She's a good girl. xD<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes, I am terribly self-absorbed. This is more or less what happened during my weekend.<br />
<br />
 So what can I say? Well...on Saturday, I went to ACen o6. Will post pictures later ('cause I promised Clare I would). Basically, I went there with CennCenn, walked around randomly, took pictures of people (AXEEEEEEEL!!), got pictures taken of me, met up with Cef, lost Cef, found Cef again, met Kilo, got strangled by Kilo, got my first marriage proposal, petted a teddy bear, had some ice cream, got in line, saw Otaku Idol, got my eardrums busted out, drooled over Shawn (or Shaun) for a while, got back in line, waited for two hours in the moderately cold, ate some chips, went to the Masquerade, saw some schecksay costumes, saw some schecksay skits, danced in a conga line, watched CennCenn dance with another TenTen, got scared by the arrival of my mother, went home, went to the gas station for iced tea, and went home. And slept.<br />
<br />
 And that was my Acen experience.  <br />
<br />
 And now for my birthday party.<br />
<br />
 Basically, people started arriving at two-thirty, we ate until three o'clock, started the festivities, did a whole bunch of skits having to do with "Channel 7.5," got three assisstants (who arrived late), handed out the prize, ate some more, ate dinner, played "How Well Do You Know Annie?", had cake, opened presents (will give the lowdown in the next paragraph), watched American Entertainer I and II, watched "The Promise," watched everyone go home, handed out party favors, and whacked balloons around with K10 and P-Darky.<br />
<br />
 I got some rad birthday presents this year. xD First off, I was "ghetto-in-da-Nay-roo-toe-hood-yo" 'cause CennCenn got me a pretty hat with the Konoha symbol on it and Cef got me a dogtag with Kakashi on it. I felt very "in-wid-mah-homies." I also got a sheep, a Sunshine Buddy, a stuffed rabbit with two faces, a Kakashi wallet, some candles, a lot of gift cards, twenty quarters, candy, and two sketch-pads, complete with supplies in which to draw with. Oh, and two Happy Bunny shirts and a Hershey's Chocolate shirt that says "You never forget your first love" on it (I'm thinking of you, Bethany!). And a card with teddy bears that Elisa forgot to write in (lawlz). <br />
<br />
 My birthday cake was good too. Except that some of my friends decided to help themselves to second (and third...and fourth) pieces and my parents ended up getting no pieces, which made me feel guilty (that my friends are so greedy xD).<br />
<br />
 But it was a pretty good birthday. ...Kay, bye.<br />
<br />
 P.S. You do not know any of the people I just listed (or if you do, then that's kinda creepy) but that is okay. This was for my own enjoyment. ^_^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's over, it's over! <br />
<br />
 I hate <i>Oklahoma!</i>. The play, not the state. Our school production sucked and the whole thing was crash-and-burn. Our red-cast Curly couldn't hold a pitch to save his life.<br />
<br />
 But now it's done and I feel better.<br />
<br />
 I haven't been drawing lately because of the musical, making my and my friend's costumes for ACen '06, and now a massive 110-point science project for...Science. Whoo-pee. Not to mention that I have a C+ in Math at the moment. I can see my future being washed right down the drain.<br />
<br />
 Yes, I am feeling apathetic at the moment. -_-;;<br />
<br />
 <33 to all my homies, and  a very Happy Birthday to <a href="http://t3homni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/3/t3homni.png" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="t3homni" /></a> ! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
 Rules: You <i>must</i> write down six weird habits/little-known things about you and make a journal of it. And state the above rule clearly; that's important, oh yes. Next, choose six friends and stick their icons under your six things. Then tell them that they're tagged by sticking a note on their Deviant Page telling them to check out your journal. <br />
<br />
 <i>o1</i> Even though it looks like I can't be affected by anything on the outside, inside, I'm really just a pretty big softie. It hurts my dignity to admit such a fact, but it's true. Things that people say and do sometimes affect me a lot more than I'll ever let on. But you'll never be able to tell because I hide my emotions so well. xD<br />
<br />
 <i>o2</i> I'm a huge romantic; as little as I wish to admit it. I think it has something to do with the fact that I love to write; dynamics between two characters (or three or four) has always been immensely appealing to me.<br />
<br />
 <i>o3</i> I'm a perfectionist, and that sometimes puts me in an awkward situation. For example, if I hit my shin on an object, I have to slap my other shin until they both feel the same amount of pain. Or else it bothers me.<br />
<br />
 <i>o4</i> I cry a lot. I cry when I read books, when I watch movies, play video games, during theatre performances, everything. This probably goes in conjunction with facts o1 and o2. <br />
<br />
 <i>o5</i> I can't stay mad at people. Like I'll be pissed off at my parents and half an hour later, we're best friends again. <br />
<br />
 <i>o6</i> I hate it when I'm not in the spotlight or taking an active part in discussions. I absolutely loathe not being able to be the leader of any group I'm in because I have this <i>way</i> that I have to do things and if anyone else tries to do it there way, I usually don't let them. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm a very angry child right now. I have about a zillion drawings ready for scanning in, but not only is my scanner broken, my dad is trying out some new hardware on MY computer. So I'm using his. <br />
<br />
 So I have my half of the art trade with <a href="http://blackwolf38.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/l/blackwolf38.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="blackwolf38" /></a> and the sketch for <a href="http://eruruu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/r/eruruu.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="eruruu" /></a> 's birthday present, but I can't do anything with them. And since I forgot to snatch my friend's tablet last time I was at her house, I can't draw them ;_;<br />
<br />
 And I have to get it done by tomorrow because I know, for a fact, that I won't be on for the rest of the week starting Tuesday because of Kingdom Hearts II, which I've been spazzing nonstop about for the last two weeks or so. Speaking of which, I've been on a KHII-art-kick too. And I'm going to Barnes and Noble today to see if I can get a copy of the KHII Limited Edition Strategy Guide while I'm at it.<br />
<br />
 Screw this. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So Annie's been gone for about two weeks because she's going blind and her parents are cranky and not letting her go on the internet, nor the computer in general. So that's for my lack of being on more often. So I'm sneaking on right now.<br />
<br />
 Anyway, Musical time came and...well, it's still coming. Anyway, I came <i>this</i> close to getting the part I wanted, but alas, Oklahoma is set in the 1900's and there aren't many asian peeps in Americana during that time. So I threw a fit and my parents got...really mad. And then they bought me RENT. And I was happy. Then I bawled my eyes out again. And then I was running on my treadmill because my mom insists that I'm fat and that I need to lose weight, so I was on the treadmill going at six miles and hour when Angel, my favorite character, came on. I was all "ZOMGANGELANGELANGEL!!!one!1eleven111" and then I fell off the treadmill. -_-; My friends thought it was hilarious. Gee, thanks. <br />
<br />
 Awesome, neh? Anyway...I'm working on a *really* belated Valentines Day thing because although I'm morally opposed to such a holiday, I was going to enter it in the Narutofan contest, but I missed it. So now I'm going to finish it anyway because it's SPESHUL.<br />
<br />
 Yeah...that's all. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so I haven't been on a family vacation in years. When I say "family" vacation, I mean when several families go on vacation together. It's been what...four years? <br />
<br />
 So yesterday, about nine families that we knew, including us, all went out to dinner together. Chinese families like big get-togethers. Anyway, so I just found out that we're going on vacation; a cruise to Alaska. <br />
<br />
 Parents: We're going to Alaska!<br />
 Me: You're kidding, li-ars!<br />
 Parents: *flash tickets*<br />
 Me: OMGLIEKWOAH.<br />
<br />
 In August, but still. So today, my mom and I went dress-shopping and we found THE perfect "little black dress." I'm packing it for "Formal Night" on the "Diamond," which is the cruise ship we'll be staying on. I'm not usually one for squealing over clothing, but it is <i>adorable.</i> The best thing about it is that it doesn't make me look fat! Yay! <br />
<br />
 No; actually, the real reason we went shopping was because my 8th Grade dance is coming up and the theme is "Masquerade," therefore, I need black, mask, and feathers. I'm going to...continue my rant later. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah. It's finally sinking in now. At 1:34 in the morning, it's sinking in that 2005 is gone...forever. But before I start weeping on your shoulder (figuratively, of course), let me explain what I've been doing for the past twelve hours or so.<br />
<br />
 As it is with every year, my parents and I (formerly my grandma too, but she moved back to China this--last year) attend a New Year's party at a friends' house. Yes. Chinese people like to party. I suspect that the only reason we celebrate holidays is to party. So anyway, we went to a girl named Sherry's house today. We were just recently accquainted, and she's, like, sixteen anyway, so yeah. But apparently, her parents and my parents are friends. So we went.<br />
<br />
 And, of course, <a href="http://paralleltodarkness.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/a/paralleltodarkness.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="paralleltodarkness" /></a> was there because Chinese people all seem to know each other and so we knew eachother and her parents and my parents knew eachother and...you get it. Okay. So anyway, she was all huffy in the beginning because my dad told her I wasn't here. I was actually in the basement with some of the other kids that were there; Sherry (sixteen), Amanda (twelve), Alex (sixteen), and Larry (eight). Sherry and Amanda were playing Monopoly and the former was completely whomping the latter. Alex was off to the side watching, and Larry was playing Kingdom Hearts. <br />
<br />
 Then Emily and her sister Rosaley came and we were all like, "Hey! Let's play Monopoly!" because Sherry had to go to work at seven and come back at ten. She works a night shift at Walgreens. How depressing. Okay. So then, we're all going to play Monopoly and this other kid (also sixteen) named Peter shows up. He's the biggest A-wad I've ever met. Horace also came down (the shortest thirteen-year-old midget I've ever met). He's also an A-wad. So anyway...we were playing, and as all Monopoly games go, the tension starts building up once most of the property is bought.<br />
<br />
 And since we really weren't paying attention about three hours into the game (I was watching the Naruto marathon on CN and laughing at how stupid the dubbed voices sounded), Peter really upset Emily because he's the biggest A-wad I've ever met and she went into a rage and screamed at him and was about to kill him. I think. *shudders* Because the guys got scared and went upstairs. Horace went too. That was a good thing, because I was about to pummel his brains inside-out. <br />
<br />
 So after that, I played KH with Larry for a while (he's cute). I whooped Cloud's ass several times. Then we went up for the New Year's Countdown. I drank champagne. I don't think I handle alcohol very well. Oh, and Michelle (kinda gothy, but in a cool kinda way) got drunk several times. She's scary when she's drunk.<br />
<br />
 ANYWAY. So then we went back downstairs and P-Dark was convinced by Larry to draw Guard Armor. So she's all like, "O-kay, but it's gonna suck." But she drew it anyway. And it was <i>good.</i> We were all, "whoa." <br />
<br />
 ...Then after some other un-exciting events, we went home. <br />
<br />
 And that's how I spent my New Year's. <br />
<br />
 Happy 2006! *goes to bed* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ookay...well. This is kind of awkward.<br />
<br />
 Let's just say that I was formerly <a href="http://seaprincess155.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/seaprincess155.png" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="seaprincess155" /></a> and be done with it. I've lived there long enough for you guys to know a little about me. ]]></description>
