STEP ONE

** Make a post in your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

** If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you. In this case, you can always just note someone on dA.

** Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!


STEP TWO

** Surf around your friend list to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

** If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

** You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

NOW LET'S SEE IT!


1. Some of my friends and I are going to do a BLEACH cosplay group at DrakeCon in February next year. We have a Gin, Aizen, Soifon, Renji, Rukia, Yoruichi, and Arrancar Orihime, but we still want more people, so if you can show up and find us, I'd be completely greatful (I'd bribe you with swag and snacks at the con, but after buying my cosplay, I don't have $10 to my name ^.^; maybe after Christmas).

2. This is probably gonna sound really lame, but I really want to get Mailenex into =RoguesofAxiom. They don't have to invite me on the spot because of this, but I at least want to know why they wouldn't accept her so I can modify her as needed. I still want to keep her element the same, but her weapon and such can change.

3. I've actually had my eye on the Xpress Redi Set Go ([link]) for quite awhile, but I'd have fun with any kitchen gadget, even cookie cutters.

4. A cutaway from above is that my mom and I have been wanting to find another really large cookie sheet. We have one now that if it were any wider, it wouldn't fit in the oven, and it's actually perfect because that means less dishes for us to clean. I don't know the dimensions, but it is a large sheet that we adore.

5. Another kitchen-related item that I would like are a couple of candy molds. I can look up recipes for candies and chocolates on the internet, but we don't have anything to put them in. They have a lot of cute ones on Amazon: Eiffel Tower, frogs, fleur-de-lis, hearts, swirls, acorn/leaves, pumpkins...and that's just on the first two pages!

6. I guess I do need help with another cosplay that I wanna do. I wanna do Yusuke Fujiwara from Yugioh GX (his season never made it to the dub, so he still has the same name). Anything will help, and I'm not asking for people to buy the actual costume. It can be patterns for it, wig styling tips, etc...if you happen to find any of the pieces to the cosplay, links to them would also be helpful.

7. Some stuff from my wishlist on Gaia Online would actually be nice. My username is DarkshireWarlock (same as on here). The list is as follows: G Pin, Ice Gauntlet, Lionfish Tail, SDPLUS #115 Mister Rufus, Lucky the Cat, and SDPlus #100 Brennivin Doll

8. I've actually been wanting some DBZ and Ranma 1/2 manga. Dragonball Z is one of the first animes I got into as I kid and I'd like to get back into it. I know the plotline of Ranma 1/2, but alas, I've never read or seen it...... ]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/28729388/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/28729388/ Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:19:23 PST
Okay, I drew a picture with the full intention of uploading (I had it in the scanner and everything), but the scanner was moved to my brother's computer, and I don't think he installed the program to import pictures from the scanner. I messed around with it for nearly an hour before I gave up, so I'll either have to try again or ask him to fix it so I can at least upload that one picture.

Besides that, I think I'll be pretty busy for the rest of the year. Semester tests are coming up in two weeks, Christmas in three. And my aunt has been wanting me to get into D&D, so on New Year's her friend is going to set up a one-shot game for me to see if I like it or not. Another thing is that Mom and I'll probably be doing a little holiday baking on the weekends (tins of homeade truffles=cheap Christmas gifts). I may or may not to =nayruasukei's Christmas list this year. I can't think of a whole lot of things that I want (that would be reasonable), but if I decide to fill it out, I will.

I was looking at this magazine called GameInformer and there's this new game coming out called Epic Mickey, which looks totally awesome. The problem is it's not coming out until next September and I've been pouting about it ever since I found out the release date. It's worse than what happened with Brawl because people could just keep themselves occupied by playing Melee until it came out.

Then again, I should be complaining considering I haven't even got my Wii fixed yet. Nothing's gigantically wrong with it, it's just that the wire to the remote sensor broke and I gotta get a new sensor.

Still, 10 months to wait for a video game...talk about torture.

]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/28389185/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/28389185/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:20:34 PST suppose to be holding it at. The Wydham pulled out at the last minute (and when I say "last minute" I mean last minute) and the Comfort Inn was cool enough to let them have it at their hotel on such short notice.

Friday, since they were still setting everything up, there wasn't much to do, it was mainly all of us in the dining area just chatting. Friday is also when I experienced my first attack from a creepy pedo dude. It freaked me out, but my mom said that as long as I'm with a large group of people, he's harmless. And she was right.

On Saturday, just before my friends showed up, I met this one guy who was cosplay Ichigo in hollow-Bankai form. We exchanged our love of BLEACH and the fact that we can't see s**t without our glasses, and that's when my friends showed up. The majority of the time most of them just complained about the lack of things to do at the con and stuff. We started to get hungry so we walked over to the River Market food court for something to eat, and then headed back. I found the Ichigo again and I just talked to him the rest of the time I was there. The Tekken tournament didn't start until 7, and even when it did, they didn't get to my match until 9! Yeah, I was seriously pissed. And it turns out that my first match was against a pro gamer, so yes, I did get my ass handed to me. I was cool with it though, he was nice about it and I was just extremely tired so I went home to go to bed.

On Sunday I was able to throw together a last minute Orihime cosplay since he was going to do his Ichigo cosplay again. I think I actually did pretty well considering that it was last minute (I'll post pictures soon). But Ichigo didn't arrive until much later than I did and pedo dude was roaming around in the con, so I asked this one guy we were talking to last night to keep me company until Josh (Ichigo) showed up. He was actually really cool about it. It was me, him, his friend until he had to go to his tournament, and some girls arrived to hang out with us later on, and then Ichigo showed up and that's when we decided we were actually really hungry. We ordered Chinese food from this one place and it was cool because they delievered straight to the hotel. We went into the dining area, ate and talked until the cosplay contest was about to start so we went to the front right next to the convention doors. Well, they still had to finish up some other tournament, so we sat there for another hour. I don't think it would've been much of a problem if we weren't completely ready at that moment...and the fact that there was a limited numer of couches and chairs in that area and there was a lot of people out there with us. When they finally started the cosplay contest, Ichigo got into the "sudden-death" finals with the Silent Hill nurse, but since her outfit was sex-appeal based in a room full of guys, she won. But, she did do a good costume though. Like I said, I'll have pictures up later.

I actually think it's kinda funny. I spent 35$ on a weekend past, and I think putting all the hours I was there together, the total amount of time I was at the Comfort Inn was a day, but the total amount of time I actually spent inside the convention center would add up to about an hour. The rest of the time I just sat in the lobby, hanging out with people. Totally worth it, though, in my opinion.

I desperatly need to upload something. I've been trying to redo a character sheet for Mailenex (her element and most everything will stay the same, but I'm changing her weapon). I've just been pretty busy during school and with school and such. Mainly I've been trying to think of ways to get outta doing work in my IEM Shop class. It was fun at first, but he started me on this hammer head project, which is totally useless because of the type of metal we're using to make it. And whenever I have free time in my classes, I usually end up sleeping, reading the Terry Pratchett book I picked for our Enrichment period, or this week I've been practicing my stitching for Crafts. I got the chain down, but I'm having trouble with the single crochet. I think I'm doing it right, but it always looks like I'm doing it wrong, so I'll have to ask her tomorrow.

I hope I get really far in the Tekken 6 tournament on Friday. Well, Friday's just the qualifying rounds and Sunday is when the finals take place. I just hope I don't get defeated in the first few rounds or get my ass beat by a seven-year-old or something. I also hope that there'll be some good stuff at the dealer's room. Like, it's a long story, but when my mom and her friends when to Chicago a few months ago, they went to see the Harry Potter exhibit and the gift shop was disappointing. Like, I think she said that there wasn't a t-shirt that hasn't been in Hot Topic the past few years.

Calming down. So, anyways, I'm probably going to be there, and I actually plan on entering the Tekken 6 tournament. I may not be able to win, but I hope I can at least get pretty far. My mom'll have to take me there straight after school on Friday for the qualifying rounds, though. I have Tekken 6, so I need to start practicing...that means that I still have to go through an agonizing five-day school week to get to it. Hope my teachers don't give homework over the weekend, or they will be quite disappointed in me.

I went to a party at my friend's house for Halloween, and it was pretty fun, but I didn't get a whole bunch of sleep the night before (at least not as much as I usually get on weekends), so I got tired pretty quickly and was ready to go home after about 3 hours.

I'm already thinking of my costume for next year. I want to be Magrat Garlick from the Discworld novels. I'm going to be her when she was wearing Queen Ynci's armor from Lords and Ladies. It'll mainly be paper mache and stuff, but I think I can pull it off. My paper mache techniques in Crafts and Pottery haven't exactly been the best, but I'm always so worried that I'll fall behind that I kinda rush it a bit. My main problem would probably be finding a place to do all the work because there'sn not enough room in the garage and I highly doubt my mom'll let me do it on the dining room table, no matter how many layers of newspaper I put on top of it. Oh well, I'll figure it out...

Today is the day that my school decided to have this OktoBEARfest because of good ACTAAP scores. I mainly think it's gonna be like the yearbook-signing day where we're all happy to be out of class for the first 20 minutes and then we're bored and wanna go home. I think we're going to get stuck out their on the football field for the entire 2 hours and 45 minutes they gave us, and just how they magically pick the hottest day of the year to do yearbook signing, I bet it'll be colder than brass balls on a monkey during this little fiasco. Maybe my mom can pick me up before it starts...

Can you believe it? It's already the second nine weeks and they're still dicking around with everyone's schedule. Now, in an early journal, I've already explained how I got some of my classes mixed around because of my IEM class and I had to switch lunches because of it. Well, I may have to switch lunches back now because of the cafeteria being overcrowded during second lunch. Look, I don't care which lunch I have, but just make up your f**king minds already!

Well, as I said before, my weekends are about to get extremely busy. This weekend, we're going to my grandparent's house because of the Arkansas VS Ole Miss football game, and for some people, it wouldn't be a problem, but my grandparent's live in another state, so we'll be gone the entire weekend. And the weekend after that, I'm going to my friend's Halloween party, which will be cool, but I'm not sure what I'm going as anymore. My first thought was a witch since I've been reading the Terry Pratchett books, but then I found this cool jacket at the fair yesterday and I think I might wear that. I'm just not sure...but, I still have some time to decide. And the weekend AFTER that is when I'm having my birthday party since my actual birthday is on the following Monday. I still need to get a few things organized, but I think I'm pretty safe. I just hate that I was limited to the amount of people I could invite...

There's not much else to talk about besides Fallout 3. I've been a little slow as far as leveling up goes, but I'm gradually getting everything together. I already completed the fun quests, like the Survival Guide and the Superhuman Gambit, so now I'm getting pretty bored. I'm gonna wait until I have my barter skill up to 50 so I can buy Charon's contract for only 1000 caps, but it'll take awhile since right now my barter's only at 20. But, I'm pretty sure everyone knows the song and dance for Fallout 3, so I guess there's no need for me to talk about it longer than I have.

As far as my art goes, I've been making little doodles in my sketch book which I actually might upload, it's the the fact of having to scan it on my computer, transfer it to a flash drive or something, and then loading it on my dad or brother's computer so I can put it up here...

The main thing that's hard for me to adjust to is the screen layout. The even though the "arrow guides" are kinda the same in both Oblivion and Fallout, I'm still having a little difficulty with the guidance on this one and I can't tell you exactly how many times I had to pull up the map.

Plus, I did kinda screw up my character from the beginning a bit. I was going to do a "stealth" character where she had high sneak and lockpicking, which I wouldn't mind, but I don't want to pickpocket anyone because that'll make my karma go down even though I want to be a good character. It's just not in me to be mean, even in a video game. Annoying, yes. Mean, no.

Another thing that's probably going to be hard for me is the fact that it's mainly a shooter game. I don't have anything against them, but my aim is horrible and it'll probably hurt me later on.

Well, I guess I better stop before I forget that I need to charge my phone and iPod. I hope to have something uploaded soon, but how many weeks/months have I been saying that?

But mainly this week I've been darting back and forth between playing the Sims 3 when I first get home, and watching my dad and bro play Resident Evil 5. I'm pretty excited about the Sims 3 because they're already coming out with an expansion pack next month. RE5 is pretty interesting, but it's way over my head to even think about playing it, so I just watch them. Plus, it's only two player, and I don't wanna mess up their groove.

I'm getting pretty excited about this Halloween party my friend's going to have, mainly so I don't spend the entire night over at my mom's boss's house. I love Carrol, I really do, but I don't know if I can stand being in a house full of a bunch of old ladies two years in a row.

-----------------------------

Okay, haven't posted anything in awhile, so I thought an update was in order. Let's see, what is there to talk about?

My schedule got changed because my IEM teacher's prep-period got changed (totally against his will), and so now I have IEM Lab, then Art Foundations, then IEM Class. First of all, I had both IEM periods back to back beforehand, and now they're split up. Next, I changed Art Foundations teachers right in the middle of a project! Okay, I got Mr. Green from now on, and apparently, he's a pretty cool teacher, but I'm just sayin' that changing my schedule during midterm completely pissed me off. My mom hates the idea, too, but we know that if we complain to the main person who did this (Ms. Harmon), then she'll find some way to keep me from graduating. At least that's my mom thinks, but since I'm always a good kid, there's really no way I can get in trouble...or really bad trouble, anyways.

Well, Spirit Week started today. I was thoroughly dissappointed that we're not having Twinkie Day this year, considering that Jessica and I already planned for that day. Color Wars day was today and the seniors did purple. I could've gone all-out, but I just wore one of my new shirts that happened to be purple. Tacky Day's tomorrow, so I'm probably just gonna wear one of my dad's Hawaiin shirts...with, like, a long-sleeve black shirt under it with it tucked into my pants or something. I'd say I'd also wear sandals with socks, but it's been freezing this week, so I'm just gonna wear shoes.

Wednesday is Wayback, where you dress up from the past, and here's what I have in mind. My friend Sarah came over this past weekend and we were looking around the Halloween shops and we decided she should be Poison Ivy for costume day. Then I thought of doing Catwoman with her so we can be a match. The problem is, I've already got my Scar costume and everything, so I'm thinking that if it turns out she can do Poison Ivy for costume day, I'll do Catwoman with her, and I'll do Scar for Wayback Wednesday. I mean, since Lion King was a 90's movie, it's technically from the past, right? And it's not like the 90's had any sort of fashion, so it's kinda an interesting move, isn't it?

]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/27471970/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/27471970/ Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:41:30 PDT
Yeah, I'm still pretty obsessed with it, but I think it's calming down a tad bit since I took the time to get off. Well, that was because I was peeved that I had done 2 quests after I saved and then I died and would've had to do them again, but I wasn't in the mood.

I'm finding little things to keep myself entertained in the game, like I bought a house in Leyawiin and all the expansion and furniture packages, but the shelves were completely empty when I went to check it out, so I decorated them with Blades armor, novice-level alchemy tools, alchemy ingredients, and fancy clothes and filled all the barrels and waste baskets with Tamika's and Bernice's wines and such. It was kinda hard to get everything on the shelves without knocking something else down in the process, but I'm really satisfied with the results.

I may buy another house. I just don't see a reason since all of my stuff is in my Leyawiin house, so another one would be pretty much useless.

I know this sounds extremely bad, but I kinda want my current horse (that one horse that's given to you by that monk if you ask him for assistance early in the game), to die. Look, I hate the idea, but every time he gets attacked on accident, it worries me to death. Well, maybe he won't have to. I'm hoping that when I do the Dark Brotherhood quest and get Shadowmere and use her a lot, then the other horse will return back to Weynon Priory. And for those of you who don't know, Shadowmere is essential, meaning she can't die, but gets knocked unconscious for a short period of time.

I dunno, there weren't many messages or anything and I wanted to rant on about Oblivion, so I guess that's why I wrote this. Hopefully I will have something more interesting to talk about next time.

It's okay now, they still hurt occassionally. What really bums me out is that I was so excited about getting to play Oblivion for the entire weekend for several hours straight without having to stop to go to school or to go to bed around 10, and trust me, I know that's early for some people, but even going to bed at that time, I woke up extremely tired and fell asleep in my calculus class. But, anyways, I was so excited to play it and then I burn the two fingers that are important on the controller for the game. Like, my forefinger on my left hand is the blocking, and my thumb is moving around. Well, when I got home and played it my fingers stung a little bit, but for the most part the game distracted my mind from the pain.

]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/27345017/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/27345017/ Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:27:23 PDT
I think it's hard to play a Khajit because there are only so many ways you can modify it, at least in the case of a female. You can't change eye or hair color, and their hair styles are so limited. I really wanted to use this one style that Ahjazda has where she just has a whole bunch of fluff around her ears, but it wouldn't let me have it because it's stupid and such. But, my point is, there's extremely few ways where you can make a Khajit character different than any other Khajit in the game.

I also went ahead and got the game of the year edition for my computer since it was only $20 at Best Buy, but I'm kinda hoping to get a laptop to install it on rather than using my dad's computer. I don't know why. I guess maybe so I can watch TV and play it at the same time. I'll put a laptop on my wishlist.com account and see if they'll catch on.

My new obsession has caused random sketches in class, too. I've mainly been working on trying to do Khajit bodies, considering their face shape is different than a human's. I've not tried anything serious yet, I'm just trying to sketch a couple of doodle faces so I can get the feel for their heads.

Well, I guess I'm done bitching for now, but I'll be back.

I've been looking into the M'raaj-Dar cosplay this morning, and instead of going straight to the difficult part of trying to find out how to pull off a Khajit, I decided to look up different fabrics that his robes could be made out of. The only problem is it lookes like his clothes are made out of a burlap sack ([link]), and I think finding a fabric with the right texture will be an obstacle. From just this one site I've seen, I'm guessing that it may have to be corduroy or denim, fabrics usually used to make jeans. Well, at least it'll be for the main green part and the sleeve trimmings and collar, and the peak at the bottom of his robes may just be cotton.

I may work from there. Going from the clothes, to the wig, and finally the overall body and make-up. I just want to take it easy for right now, but it doesn't mean I'm not worried about how the hell I'm going to pull off a Khajit.

I've learned a little while ago that this year will be bad for me, finacially. We're having a tiny bit of trouble with the money at home, and with my birthday party (which I really want to have, believe me), my prom dress, and my cosplay...well, things may not turn out so well. I could use my own money for some of the stuff, but my parents didn't let me get a job over the summer -.-; so, I'm almost flat broke, and it's not my fault.

--------------------------------

Well, it's been about a week, so I thought I'd post a journal. My Batman obession when specifically to Batman Beyond, and now it's cooled down to DC comics in general. I think it cooled down because of *The-BlackCat's comics. I know her stuff it's mainly Batman and Sons, but I just love the Rivalry comic.

In addition to DC, I have another current obsession. Since my English class is reading Beowulf, the way it's written and the story kind of reminds me of Oblivion...and I kinda want to start playing it again, but I became extremely obessed with that game when I first got it and ended up neglecting homework and my usual amount of sleep. But, with the classes I'm taking this year, I rarely have any homework, so it wouldn't be extremely dangerous to get back into it and play it like I used to. It all just comes down to my laziness of actually setting up the game...

Oh! I received my first shop injury yesterday. It was less that sawing my arm off, but more than hitting my thumb with a hammer. You see, I'm currently working on this sheet metal box, and there are these tin scissors which are used to cut sheet metal, so it works just like regular scissors through paper almost. Unfortunatly, the sheet metal is thicker than paper and since I don't have the natural muscle strength the men in the class have I'd have to use both hands on the scissors to get a good cut, and I was quite a few cuts in when I noticed that my finger was hurting a bit. I looked at it, and the same force I was using to close the scissors at the same time was causing the grip of the scissors to literally rub off a good chunk of skin from my finger. It's fine and it didn't hurt that bad, but it was worse today because it was trying to heal itself. I'd alternate during the day between classes where I'd wear a bandage on it to keep it from getting infected and taking off the bandage to it air out, and then put back on a fresh bandage when I thought doing something in particular class might irritate it. Like I said, it's totally fine, but it's one of those injuries that can be a real nuisance. I just rubbed some Neosporin in it, so hopefully it'll be better tomorrow and not bother me as much.

One thing I definatly want to try to look into over the weekend is this anime/manga "Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei". It's like, I first saw on Youtube the Phoenix Wright version of the opening song, which caused me to look at the original opening, which caused me to think "wtf is this about!?", which caused me to look it up on Wikipedia. It actually seems pretty interesting to me. I'd like to see if I can find one of the mangas at our bookstore so I can check it out, and if I like the manga, then I'll probably put the DVD series on my wishlist.com list since my birthday's not too terribly far away.

Well, my birthday is in early November, so I am thinking a little bit ahead, but since it's my 18th birthday, I want it to be special, so I've already started thinking of party ideas and such. I can only pray that it's half as fun as it is in my mind.

Well, I finished the stool project in IEM, and it turned out better than I thought, but that's because Mr. Teach-Us-Nothing decided to become Dr. Superhero at the last minute to "save" my project because I apparently can't fix my own mistakes. *sigh* It's fine, but because he did that, I don't really feel like it's my project anymore. It's like when I wrote that article in journalism two years ago and they ended up editing a lot of it in the final print. Okay, if it needed to be fixed, fine, I don't have a problem with that, but let me do it so I can learn from my mistakes, and let me know what I did wrong because you're not gonna be there my entire life editing my writing or fixing my projects. It's like telling me to do something and then taking it away from me as soon as the slightest thing goes wrong, and I don't think that's the way to learn anything. Like I said before, show me what I did wrong and let me fix it myself, especially if I'm willing to do it.

I actually think I may be in trouble for whenever we have a notebook check in food and nutrition. It's not that I'm missing something or that I'm totally unorganized, it's just that we have to have our notes we took in the binder, and it's not that I didn't take notes, I just feel my teacher might be slightly offended at the fact that I covered my notes in doodles of tiny, deformed Batmans. They're nothing major, just black ghosts with pointy ears and slanty white eyes. So, she may get a tiny bit peeved when she sees the doodles, which prove I wasn't paying 100% attention, but I need to do something so I'm not bored to death in that class.

Ugh, I realized an effect watching Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List has had on me. For those of you who don't know, her tour manager, Tom, has this disorder where he pulls out his eyebrows and eyelashes when he's stressed. Now, it's not like I'm yanking them out, but I've been pinching at them for a few months. I think it's helps to get the stray or loose lashes out so they don't end up in my eye, but surely it's not a healthy habit to get into. Plus, it's probably strange to just look over and see one of your classmates plucking at their eyebrows...

Well, I've calmed down on DC Universe Online a bit, but I'm still really excited about it. I set the date in on my phone and I wrote it on the dry erase board we put up on the fridge a few weeks ago. This may be the first ever game I'm actually willing to stand outside until midnight for. I wonder if it'll be as big as when the World of Warcraft expansions come out...

For a second I was thinking about going completely all nerded out by dressing up as a superhero during the release (and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one there doing it), but since it's in April and will probably still be cold, I may just find a Batman hoodie or something to show my allegiance but not freeze my ass off.

As far as the lolita dress goes, I think I've decided on this one: [link] but, I have to know, Cleo, does it need a blouse or can I go bare-armed?

Okay, I'm about to have a mini freakout because, while looking up Zsasz's profile on wiki so I could spell it right, I saw something for DC Universe Online, an MMORPG that is going to come out in April of next year. I bet it's gonna be a lot like City of Heroes, which will be completely awesome only this time it has DC original characters in it. I can't wait! I wish it would come out sometime sooner! I wanna cry now! Jess, you're totally gonna get it when it comes out, right? I bet you will. This may be the first MMORPG that I get really serious about and may actually get to the max level with one of my characters. I wonder how similar it'll be to City of Heroes because they really can't do an extreme bunch to seperate themselves from it. Lol, I bet most people will start out in Gotham than Metropolis, and those of you who already know about the game know what I'm talking about. I just hope there's a better costume selection than City of Heroes because it took them several years to update with new wardrobe items. Can you tell I'm excited about this? I'm nerding over it so much that I'm probably gonna write it down on every single calander I have. I hope I can get a lot of my friends to play it so I won't be alone because I hate asking strangers for help. Okay, I'll shut up about it...for now...

Anyways, before I actually got to play the game, my mom and I went to the other side of town and while she was driving around, searching for some store, I was, unknowingly even to myself, that I was mentally creating a Batman character, though I didn't realize it until I saw a street named Hawthorne and decided that would be her last name. I haven't worked out all the details, of course, but I figured she'd appear more as her alter ego rather than her hero form, but I'll explain everything if I ever get a picture up again...

Ugh, bad Pony! Bad Pony! I gained five pounds from the last time I weighed and I don't think that's good for gastrics. I'm hoping most of it is just water weight and due to the fact I wsa wearing regular clothes when I weighed. I really want cut to the school week now so I won't have the opportunities to stuff my face. And as soon as we set up this treadmill that's in our living room, I'll be using that a lot. Until then I really need to keep a watch on myself. I'm probably gonna give my friends at school a lot of the stuff I bought yesterday like the dorayaki (because, I didn't know this, but it has over 40 grams of sugar, and that's really extremely super bad), and when/if Jessica comes over again I'll give her the mochi ice cream since she was so eager to try it.

Alright, when Cleo came over, she showed me a whole bunch of lolita dresses to choose from, and from the ones I picked while she was over, these are my top favorites:
[link]
[link]
[link]ageNumber=1&ageStop=stop_14&noSubType=N
[link]
We favorited more than that, and some of them when I saw them again, I really didn't like them compared to the others, so I deleted them, but some of them I'd like to get when I'm thinner and I don't have all the extra skin on my arms and stuff.

Okay, here are some updates on school things. Spirit Week is going to be in October, which is coming sooner than I can prepare for it, and I already know most of the days since they have them every year:
Color Wars: each year of students (freshmen, sophmore, junior, seniors) get their own color and this is the day where you wear the color for your grade. Some people go all out and wear wigs or even dye their hair. I just hope we don't get orange again because I dont' have any orange shirts.
Blue & White: this is the last day of spirit week where we show school spirit by dressing up and school colors and, like color wars, wear wigs, dye our hair and put on face paint.
Twinkie Day: this day is where you find a partner and dress exactly the same as them. Jessica and I have talked about doing Spock for this day this year, but I haven't talked to her in awhile.
Costume Day: exactly what you think. You just wear a costume for this day. I was thinking about doing Scar from the Lion King and I have some interesting ideas for pulling off the costume. I'll probably have to arrange to talk to my mom's friend Carrol since she's good at pulling together costumes. I've already figured out how I'm going to do the eye make up, so that's already been established.
And then there's just a random day each year. One day it was Career Day, another day was Tacky Day, and I seriously hope we don't have era day because our grade that one year got the 90's...WTF did the 90's ever have! I'm sure we would've been happy with the 50's just fine, but the 90's had almost no fashion!

Anyways, onto cosplay updates. I'm not trying to do everything at once for Kinto because as long as I have something to do, I'll still have interest in it. If I can pull off Scar for Costume Day, I may dress up as him again at one of the cons because several people do Disney characters. Now, one cosplay I want to do is kinda odd because I haven't even seen/read the series that much, but I kinda want to do Mikuru from Haruhi Suzumiya (I know the title's longer than that, but I'm lazy, so bare with me). Now for her, I have two options I can do. I can either do her maide outfit, or her school uniform. I know there's also the option of her bunny outfit, but even if I do get pretty slim by the time Akon comes, I'll still have a lot of extra skin on my arms and it wouldn't look very good.

Well, that's all I have to say for now. I'll try to post some artwork soon, but don't hold your breath.

I usually don't go to the commissary with them, but since I want to try and make some Japanese recipes for my bento, Mom suggested I go there and look at the Asian section to see what they have.

It was actually pretty cool. Yesterday, it was my brother's birthday, so he went to the shooting range with my dad, so my mom and I were free for the day. We ended up going to this restaurant, Mt. Fuji, except we didn't go to the restaurant, it has a little side store next to it that sells all these Japanese desserts and snack foods and such. I almost cried I was so happy and excited. I actually ended up getting a few things, too. Out of personal interest, I got taiyaki, dango dumplings, and what I thought was takoyaki, but when I looked at the bottom of it a few minutes ago, it turned out to be rice dumplings. I even got one little dorayaki pack since I was a little hungry and I could eat it in the car. It was pretty good, but the bread overpowered the adzuki beans, but the bread was good, so I don't mind. My mom got some coffee candy and some rice crackers. I didn't know just how much I like rice crackers until yesterday, but they taste really good. I haven't tried the taiyaki yet, but the dango dumplings are really good, except they're really cold (probably because they're in the freezer, but oh well). The rice dumplings I'm definatly not crazy about. I was expecting them to be salty, but they were actually kinda sweet...I'm not a fan...

I'm obsessed with cosplay again. I'm pretty sure that my tastes may change by the time Akon and Afest roll around next year, but I'm sure I'll be able to go because, since it's my senior year, most of my classes are electives and, therefore, easy. Anyways, the cosplays that I currently want to do are both from Avatar: the Last Airbender. The first one's Smellerbee, because she kicks ass, and the second one's Kinto from the TCG.

Well, I guess I just mainly wanted to let everyone know that I was still alive. Not sure how long it'll be until I get that picture up, but keep in mind that I'm not dead.

I wish I had the money to spend on deviantART subscriptions. That way I could just do polls seperately. But seriously, which do you think is the longest anime so far? Inuyasha or Pokemon? I'm just way to f**king lazy to look it up at this point, but even though I like Inuyasha, I think Pokemon's ahead by several hundred episodes. I dunno. I just thought that was interesting for some reason...I should probably go to bed, huh?

One thing that's definatly been pissing me off is that I got a few anime items off of this one site, like, 3 or 4 weeks ago, and it still has yet to even leave the factory. It turns out that some of the items I had in the cart were on back-order (although it didn't say it when I added them), and that they had to order a new shipment. Okay, that's fine and everything, but I think I deserved a heads-up, seriously. Damn Hawaiins...

Well, I'll try to think of something to draw or write, but I wouldn't count on it showing up too terribly soon. Just wanted to let you know that I haven't left deviantART forever like some sort of drama queen, I'm just on hiatus for the time being.

New movies I've seen this year:
Confessions of a Shopaholic (correction: my mom dragged me to see this one)
Coraline
Street Fighter
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Star Trek

New movies I want to see this year:
UP
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Tekken
Inglourious Basterds
9

On a side note, I would have to say that overall either X-Men or Star Trek has been my favorite movie this year so far. At the current moment it's Star Trek because it's the one I've seen most recently and I mean...c'mon, have you seen Spock in that movie? *purr*

'Course, several people are probably gonna bitch to me about how I shouldn't like the movie considering it's not even the original plotline, but, sorry, I liked it and there's nothing you can do about it.

]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/24562813/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/24562813/ Sun, 03 May 2009 09:34:42 PDT [link] but there is a limit to how much...god, I don't even know what the word for it is. Well, you'll see what I mean towards the end of the video. It's a good video and everything, but it starts getting very strange towards the end 'cause the teacher is putting nails in the back of a dummy's head and one of the girls masks starts crying black tears and there's a black apple that spills red goo after he's bitten into it, and I don't understand what any of it means...I'm sure Cleo could probably explain it to me, because she's good at stuff like this.

I also went to go see X-Men Origins: Wolverine yesterday, and it was AWESOME!!! I think it might be my favorite X-Men movie to date...it could be for the sole reason that Gambit is in it, but why split hairs? I think Mom and I were happy that Rogue wasn't in it because Rogue is one of our favorites, but in the movies she's a total pussy. Now that Gambit's been in a movie, I can't think of any other X-Men I'd want to see that has yet to appear in one. *Wikipedias list of o X-Men members* There is Jubilee. She was pretty good. Really I think that's the only mutant I want to see left. I guess there are others I wish had a bigger role in the movies. Gambit (of course), Deadpool (he's the katana guy, Wade, in XMO:W), Archangel, Nightcrawler, Quicksilver (he's actually in XMO:W, but he has an extremely small role [he's the one captured mutant that's thrashing around in the cage])...I think another mutant I'd like to see that hasn't shown up yet would be Scarlet Witch because her powers are badass...Jean Grey can just f**k off altogether to make room for some of these guys.

Yes, we've been over it several times and I know you're sick of it and so am I, but you guys know by now that I need to bitch and moan once in awhile.

Well, the good news is is that I've decided on a character to do if I manage to actually go. I'm going to do Noba/Nova from BLEACH. I wasn't sure at first, but I was talking to my friend Victoria, who goes to Animefest every year, and she said that she was planning on doing Yoruichi, so she suggested we go as BLEACH characters. I think Noba is actually a pretty good choice since I already have red hair and green eyes. I know my hair isn't as red as Noba's, but still. It's not like I'll be playing a blonde Noba or anything...not that there's anything wrong with that, but if I was an expert cosplayer, I'd always want to have the character's "authentic" hair color. I've already found where I'll buy the costume from, but it's awfully expensive ($185!!!). *sigh* I wish I knew how to sew.

The sad part about the costume costing so much is that I'll have to ask my dad for the money. He's not a bad person, he really isn't. He's just really intimidating to approach, especially if it's to ask for something. I really wish I still had some money left over from the holidays so I could pay for it myself, but I don't. I'm really scared about asking him for so much, especially considering that I probably won't meet the criteria needed for me to go to Animefest in the first place (I have to make a maximum of two C's and nothing below). If I ask for the costume, they may up it to only A's and B's altogether, and that's...kind of impossible considering my APUSH and Chemistry grades...and maybe my Algebra 2 grade. I'd have no trouble getting a job over the summer to pay for it myself, but I don't know where I'd work. Maybe a restaurant if I'm lucky. I know I wouldn't be cooking or serving, but I could wash dishes in the back...not so sure about bus-ing, though...don't know if I could stand it...

I may ask my dad tonight and see what he thinks we can do about this. Now that I think about it, getting my learner's permit may be the condition for the costume because my parents have been bugging me about that as well...*sigh* I'll just see how it all turns out...

It's not so much as the coloring as it is the "going over the lines with black" that I hate. It's just such a monotonous, boring task that I have to do whenever I color stuff on the computer. And since it's acutally like a character sheet this time (like with little detail comments and such), it's going to take me even more time. I'll probably gradually work on it over the week and I'll at least be finished sometime this weekend, I would assume. Or I may go take a nap, wake up at 8pm and then completely finish it which would make this journal edit completely useless. I'll at least go take a nap and see what all I can get done tonight...

-----------------

Well, you guys probably knew this was coming, but I'm re-doing Mailenex again. But I swear this is the last time! As soon as I finish it (and come up with a decent profile and junk), I'll probably wait a few weeks to see if I get a note from =RoguesofAxiom, and if not, I'll probably just enter her in a different Nobody club.

In other news, I do actually have a a new character done, and I'm really proud of the design and everything, but I haven't submitted it because I want to finish her profile...but, screw it, I'll probably upload it anyway after I'm through with this journal just for the sake of having something new up.

Is there anybody you just wish would fall off the planet?
I could probably name a few, but for the sake of the moment I would say Brittney Spears. Everytime she screws up, she get's a two-hour special on TV Guide Channel. It's so f**king annoying at this point.

How do you flush the toilet in public?
I just do it like I'd be flushing the toilet at home. I know it's not really sanitary, but I wash my hands right after.

Do you wear your seatbelt in the car?
Only when I'm in the front seat. Back-seat seatbelts are just so uncomfortable.

Do you have a crush on someone?
Believe it or not, I actually have crushes on some real people. They're people that I'll never get, but hey. I guess you guys want details, so there's Shunsuke Nagasaki, Aaron Dismuke, and that guy that's gonna be playing Gambit in that new X-Men movie.

Name one thing you worry about running out of.
Paper at school. I'm also worried about not having anything to write with.

What is your favorite pizza topping?
I can't really eat pizza anymore, but I used to like plain ol' cheese.

Do you crack your knuckles?
Always. Sometimes I don't think about it and then I hear someone crack their knuckles and I have to do it myself.

What song do you hate the most?
I can't really think of anything. I usually have my iPod in the car, so even when my mom's listening to her crappy music on the radio, I don't have to hear it. Or wait, come to think of it, I don't like any song that just repeats the same line over and over again, like that song "this is why I'm hot" or something like that...

Did just mentioning that song make it get stuck in your head?
Yes, thank you for that -.-;

What are your super powers?
The ability to charge matter with explosive bio-kinetic energy, a.k.a Gambit's powers. lol, can you not tell that I'm obsessed with him at the moment, but seriously, look at him!

Peppermint or spearmint?
Honestly, I can hardly tell the difference.

What is your best physical feature?
My hair. I gotz it cut short, but it's still the same (natural) shade of dark red that I love.

What 3 things can always be found in your refrigerator?
Eggs, milk, and ketchup (sorry for mentioning that last one, Cleo, but it's true)

What superstition do you believe/practice?
None really. Sorry for being so boring.

What color are your bed sheets?
They're kinda an off-white color with some kanji on it. I got them from my aunt for my birthday one year.

Would you rather be a fish or a bird?
A bird. Believe me, I like the sea, but being a bird lessens my chances of being eaten by something else.

What are your favorite sayings?
"The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist."-David Hockney
"No man was ever wise by chance."-Lucius Annaeus Seneca
"To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all."-Anatole France
"I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see."-Duane Michals
"You never grow up, you just learn how to behave in public."
"I've got fresh sticks! Guaranteed no leaves!"
"Kiss, kiss, fall in love~!!!"

What song(s) do you sing most often in the shower?
I don't sing in the shower, mainly because my singing voice is horrible. But, if I had to start, I'd like to start singing "Sakura's Kiss" (the theme song to Ouran High School Host Club) all the time, not just in the shower.

If you could go back or forward in time, where would you go?
I'd go back in time to when God made the universe and go, "okay, here's a list of people we would not miss not having..."

What is your favorite Harrison Ford movie?
Who? Hold on. *Wikipedias* Um...I guess Indiana Jones or Star Wars, I dunno...

How many kids do you plan on having?
Well, one, but that's only if I can adopt. I think I might just be too young to start thinking about that right now.

If you could kiss anyone who would it be?
Probably one of my crushes listed above. Well, that'd probably freak Aaron out (well, any of them would be freaked, I would suspect, but he'd be more freaked than the others I could only assume). So it's between Shunsuke and "Gambit".

What do you do when no one is watching?
I tend to pick at myself. My ears, my teeth (not in that order, mind you, or at least not with the same hand/finger)

You see, in Japan, they have certain video games called "dating sims" where the main point of the game is to impress a guy and get an ending with him and such, anyone that knows what I'm talking about, well...knows what I'm talking about. Anyways, I really want to play one of these games, but I can't find any in English, so if someone could point one out, it would be much appreciated. My friend Chris will probably appreciate it too so I'll stop bitching about not being able to find one. Damnit, if they just made Tokemeki Memorial: Girl's Side in English then I'd be a happy camper...

To me, with the way I made her now, I don't feel %100 confident and I know that if I don't feel good about her, she probably doesn't have a chance in hell. I'm probably going to have to spend a lot more time into this. I know that the reference sheet is a big part, but if I give her a more structurally sound profile, it could help. *sighs and scratches back of head* I just don't know what to do about an element, though. Should I go back to one of my old ones? I can't do personification because Xidra has that. I'm not sure about keratin...olfaction sounds like something I couldn't mind doing, but there's also the issue about weapon. *sigh* I can't think of a good weapon I'd want her to have. Ugh, I feel like smashing my head against something! Why can't I be satisfied with her design?! *runs fingers through hair* Well, if any of you have any ideas, I'd be glad to hear about them.

Rules:
1) Be honest with your answers. Unless you're honest; you're not going to know whether or not your character is a Sue/Stu.

That's the only rule. There will be lots of questions to be answered which all have their own little category. Afterwards, add all the points that you earned from each question and check out your result. This was not meant to offend anyone so I apologize if you're offended. This was meant to help people. Anyways, feel free to add this into your journal and have fun answering the questions.

56-88= Uber sue; I'm sorry but your character is a total sue. Try not to make your character too powerful or too attractive. Maybe give your character some flaws and you can be sure to have an OC. Keep on developing your character; he/she has a lot potential.

41-55= Mary Sue. Your character is rough around the edges but with a little more polishing then your character will become a loveable OC. Maybe either give your character more or less flaws. Try to make them a bit more believable and you will have an OC.

21-40= You have a very well balanced character. Good job on having a true OC.

20 and under= Anti sue. Why are you taking this?

And Tokyo Mew Mew (volume 6) would be leaning against the stack since it's the first manga I ever read.

It would totally make my day to have a cake like that. I'd probably cry from happiness. I'll actually talk to my mom about it when she gets home tonight to see if it could be my birthday present this year. My 18th birthday present being a cake made by Duff Goldman that's a giant stack of manga...I'm speechless at the thought of it. She might say to give it some more thought, but I think she'd more excited at that idea than buying something like a car for me. I know it's in November, but I might actually want to start planning a party, just in case, because I don't want to do nothing for my birthday like I've done the last several years.

BTW, before I forget, does anyone know how to possibly transfer just one playlist from your iTunes to your iPod? You see, when we wiped my computer, I lost my entire iTunes library, and I just got a new CD that I uploaded onto my iTunes and I want it on my iTouch, but if I sync it, it'll delete all the songs I have on there now and replace them with just that CD. It took me several hours getting all my CDs and soundtracks on my iTouch before we had to wipe my computer, and now I can't even find some of the soundtracks, such as my BLEACH and Naruto soundtracks, so I definatly don't want to wipe it. Please help...

I also need to make a proper character sheet for the new Mailenex, but I have a lot of trouble doing a lot in one picture. If I could get into =RoguesofAxiom, that would be awesome, but I'm more than 100% that I need a developed character sheet instead of just a picture of her. *thinks* Maybe instead of trying to rush everything into a picture as fast as I can (I always felt rushed to make a character sheet so I could try to submit it before anyone else came up with the same idea), I should take a lot more time on everything. I wish I could ask Cleo or pay =nayruasukei to make the character sheet for me, but the club clearly states that you need to make your own reference sheet. It might be difficult, but I plan on doing the best I can on this reference sheet. Maybe it'll be okay if I can at least get Cleo to help me out with some of the poses, but that's if she wants to do it.

Well, I guess I'm off to figure stuff out...

Oh! By the way, I'm sorry about the spam thing...I got infected.

Sadly, I think Kinume will kind of be replaced with this new one, but I'm still keeping Koll. Once I draw this soul reaper a main picture, I'll upload it and her entire profile onto here. I haven't been working on the bount character very much, but it was a design that I originally made on tektek.org for my The World Ends With You character. I also want to figure out some more information for Koll as well. I'd like to find a good club for me to submit some of these chicks in, so if you know anything, please share. I've seen ~Bleach-Revolution, but it doesn't seem to be very active and I'd like to find an active one. Well, I better go draw that new soul reaper. Expect to see her at some point.

Where have I been, you ask? Well, it all started when my friend Sarah came over to spend the night about 2 weeks ago. We played video games and such, but the main reason she came over was because she wanted my dad to look at her laptop to see if it could hold games or not. It turns out it could, and she mentioned how she was going to upload the Sims 2 onto it. It also turns out that when her normal computer got a virus on it, it completely ate her Sims 2 game, so even though she had it, it probably wasn't gonna work. We went to Wal*Mart later that night, and I bought her the Sims 2 Double Deluxe, and when we got back to my house, she uploaded it onto her computer. While she was playing Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 on my Wii, trying to break all the records and such, I was playing Sims on her laptop. It was kind of funny. We got home at 8pm and went to bed at 1am. We were just having so much fun with the respective games we were playing.

But what does this have to do with me not being on in a long time, you ask? Well, playing the Sims on her computer reminded me just how much fun the Sims was, so I tried uploading my Sims 2 games on my dad's computer ('cause my computer would probably blow up). Well, I actually had to wait a few days because it turns out I lost the first disc to the Sims 2, so I couldn't upload any of them. I resolved this problem by buying the Sims 2 Double Deluxe from Amazon.com (as well as some of the major expansions I was missing), so when they came in, I installed all of my Sims games immeadiatly, and I was obsessed with playing the Sims for the longest time.

Then I bought Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney from Amazon.com, and I've been playing that for awhile. I'm really proud of myself because I was able to do the first 3 trials without having to look up answers from the internet (and I plan on doing the same with the last case, which I'm currently working on).

Anyways, I'm sorry for the delay in everything, I'm sure once I finish Apollo Justice and Trials & Tribulations (I know that's not the order they go in, but I'm much more interested in Apollo Justice than Trials & Tribulations), I'll start drawing again. I downloaded PhotoImpact back onto my computer, so if I can figure out the scanner (something went wrong when we had to wipe my computer, so now it's confusing and s**t), I can probably get a few decent pictures up.

Whoops. Everything just came back on and I saw my previous journal and I forgot that I already explained the Sims 2 hype. Oh well, that took me a while to type, so I don't plan on going back deleting it all, so deal.

My Seaworld-hype's gone, but now I'm obsessed with the Sims 2, but we'll get to that in a minute.

I had my friend Sarah over this weekend. She stayed over Friday and Saturday night. We spent most of our time playing Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2, beating the high scores and getting new costumes and such, and we also played Cooking Mama: World Kitchen and we would switch off. I would do a step, then she would do a step, and it went like that for the longest time. Then Saturday night, we went to Wal*Mart and I got her the Sims 2: Double Deluxe, 'cause I'm nice like that. She had her laptop with her (it was actually the main reason she came over), so she installed it right away when we got home. It was kinda funny because even though DD was her game, I ended up playing it for the rest of the night and even though Rayman is my game, she ended up playing it for the rest of the night. She left a little bit after...I'd say 2 today, and I've been wanting to play the Sims 2 on my computer.

But you see, there's a major problem with that. I have the original game and 9 expansion packs, and even though I have my disk for every single one of them, I don't have the first disk to my Sims 2 game...yeah, it totally sucks. I can't find it anywhere! After searching for awhile, I just decided to order myself Double Deluxe from Amazon. Now if the first disk happens to show up, I can give my Sims 2 and Nightlife to someone else. I'd rather give my video games to my friends rather than sell them at a game shop, but I get totally ripped off and there's nothing I can do about it when I sell.

I'd actually like to work at Seaworld. Maybe not as a permanent job, but as a "thing I'd like to do before I die" kind of thing. I just can't stop thinking about it. I remember the shows, the animals...everything.

Plus, I'd really be excited about going to Seaworld during Thanksgiving because a new roller coaster is coming out: The Manta, and it looks bad-ass. It might give the Kraken a run for it's money.

My parents have been getting on my ass about finishing my APUSH study guide. How many of your teachers actually take up the study guides? Seriously...I can't wait for these last two tests to be over so all this can stop.

My dad had to wipe my computer (again), and I lost PhotoImpact. Worst than that, I think I lost the program to launch the scanner, and I'm not sure where to find either of them. I'm really hoping that we can get an extention because I know there's a lot of people that haven't submitted their entries yet.

----------------------------------------------------

And before you ask, Cleo. The title of the journal is not, in fact, related to the nickname you've given me.

I know, that's one journal after another, but I really don't care. I'm currently waiting for a flash on Awkward Zombie to come up, so I decided to post.

I've been reading this WoW comic Lori recommended to me, Looking for Group, and it's pretty funny. In fact, you don't even need to know much about WoW to be able to understand it. Richard is the best. I'm actually hoping to buy a few shirts eventually. If you don't go for the comic, at least look at the recent animation. Richard sings "Slaughter the World" to the tune of "Part of Your World".

In the middle of typing this, I watched the Mythbusters Flash on Awkward Zombie. If you have time, load it and watch it. I burst into laughter when I saw it.

Updating a journal that I just recently put up, *sigh* I need to get a life. Well, I am a bit excited because I think I may have figured out what I want to do, cosplay-wise. I have 1 of 3 choices that are all from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I'm not gonna say 'em just yet. It's not so much as me wanting it to be a surprise, but some authors say that if you tell people what's in your book, you're not tempted to write it, so let's just see how this goes for awhile. I'll give you a hint, though. 2 of them will be pretty difficult considering they're Khajiits, but it's mainly between those two that I'm trying to decide. I gotta play Oblivion so I can research their personalities more closely and see which one I'd rather do.

------------------------------

Well, I was watching Food Network Challenge, and it was the one where they do the Disney Pixar cakes. A few years ago, my family went to Florida for Thanksgiving for two years in a row. It's a really beautiful place if you haven't been there. In the Disney Pixar cakes challenge, they actually show parts from the Disney theme parks, mainly the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. It just reminded me of all the stuff we did during those Thanksgivings. I'd really like to go back there again. Maybe for next year's Thanksgiving, even. I've already talked about it with my mom, but my dad's a different story. He's been really concerned about our money habits lately, so now's really not the best time to mention the possibility of going to a different state and the majority of it's theme parks later on in the year.

We really didn't have set days for which theme park we'd go to on which day when we got there. Like, yeah, we knew which ones we were going to, but we never on exactly which day. I can't even remember which days we went to which park, but I at least remember all the parks we went to. We went to Sea World, Island of Adventures, one of the Disney World theme parks, and Bush Gardens. For the Disney World theme parks, the first year we went to Magic Kingdom, and the second year we went to Animal Kingdom. I prefered Animal Kingdom more, though, mainly because Magic Kingdom isn't the best park to go to during Thanksgiving break (it's really crowded). Plus, I'm such an animal lover, so a zoo and a theme park in one? Sign me up!

I guess one of the main things I would be excited about if we went to Florida this year is the amount of weight my mom and I would lose by Thanksgiving. It wouldn't hurt our feet as much to stand in line. We wouldn't have to press our boobs together to fit in the ride (long story, don't ask).

I know I should probably get a job sometime this year, but I'm just so damn lazy. I'd like to spend my own money if I buy stuff at the parks, and I got a lot for Christmas, but I know it probably won't last long...

Ugh, May's gonna be here before I know it and I still have no idea what I want to do for cosplay if I manage to get to Akon. I just can't stay focused on one thing for very long, so I don't know who I'll wanna be by then. Like a few days ago, I was into Sailor Moon, so I'd want to do someone from that (probably Sailor Jupiter), and now I'm really into Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and I don't even know who I'd want to be from that! *thinks* Well, my favorite characters are Pit and Marth, so maybe one of those to, but for Marth, I'd have some pretty big shoes to fill: [link] <-Isn't that amazing?

Plus, I don't even know what I'm gonna weigh by then. I've been losing pretty fast, but they say it's like that the first month or so, so it may slow down by Feb, or so. Ugh, I just don't know anymore...

--------------------------------

Okay, I'm back from my grandparents. It was pretty fun. I'm glad that there weren't any emergancy-type messages to me while I was gone.

I need to get started on a lot of drawings. What I really need to do first is my Secret Hedley Claws entry for *Elysian-Academy, so expect that sometime soon.

Well, that's it for now.

--------------------------------

*sneezes* Ugh. Well, I'm gonna be at my grandparents until Wednesday, but I'll try to get on their computer so I can message everyone back. I can't make any promises, though.

I figured out something about myself regarding Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I had some of my friends over this weekend and whether if it was because I was playing with the Wiimote, if I really do suck, or if I just hadn't found the right character, I didn't do very good against my friends. I figured out my main characters though: Pit, Marth, Lucario, and Falco.

My friend Chase actually painted this really groovy picture on a giant close pin for me regarding SSBB. I really like it. I'm actually planning on keeping it with me in my purse. It's really personal because on one side, it has a whole bunch of hands of different characters (or their attacks) reaching for the Smash Ball, and on the back, it has Pit's final smash since I told him Pit was my favorite. I am rather partial to Marth though, I've come to realize. Him and his badass tiara.

Ugh, I'm tired as hell. It's not fair. Okay, my school missed two whole days of a week that was suppose to be for finals, and they make this crazy, f**ked up schedule for us to follow. We originally had two tests a day and one Friday morning, but now the they're going to have 3 tests today. I don't know what the hell's going on Friday, whether we're going to have 4th period only like the original plan was, or...god, I don't even know. They want to have some tests the rest of this week and finish them after Christmas break and it's driving me nuts!

I would've prayed for us to be out the rest of this week, but my APUSH teacher is selling hand-made scarfs and I found two that would be great Christmas presents to my aunt Lori and uncle Trey, so even though I didn't want the tests, I still need to go back because I already asked her to save them for me.

---------------------------------------------

Well, as far as the gastric goes, everything's been going pretty smoothly. My mom and I haven't walked in awhile because when we get a chance to walk during the day, it's always nighttime and extremely cold, so my mom's gonna try and find us a rec center with a track, hopefully.

Yeah, turns out that I'm also having an allergic reaction to my stitches. They're on the inside, and will eventually dissolve, but that doesn't change the fact that they're a pain in the ass now. I didn't confront my mom immeadiatly because I thought the swelling was just because of me scratching so much (they were gonna itch, allergies or not). Now I can't scratch them at all because I don't want to irritate it...of course, that's not stopping me, but still...

I've got on World of Warcraft again. I mainly want to get on during the Christmas event, so I have something to do. I was able to change Armina's haircut at the recently installed barber shop, so that was kinda cool. I need to be careful with my gold because my dad's account is inactive, meaning he hasn't played in a long time, so he can't get on to give me any gold. I'm hoping he'll get on soon enough. I think he said he would after my brother goes back to college.

I did have a good experience last night on WoW, however. Since Armina's a warlock, this one guy asked me to team up with his group so I could use Ritual of Summoning on him. I waited for awhile in Theramore Isle and it eventually turned out that he didn't need it, but he gave me 10 gold for the time I had to wait. I know the honest human being would go "oh, it's no problem" disconnect with their group, and wonder off into their own quests, without taking even a piece of copper, but too bad I'm not that kinda human being. He was a level 80, so I'm sure 10 gold barely made a dent in his finances.

Like I said, I'm really hoping my dad'll get on WoW again. It's mainly the gold, but there are several other reasons. Well, I was in the guild he was in, Left Hand Voodoo, but I got booted out for some reason. I don't think they just abandoned the guild, though, I think either they booted me out, or the server screwed up and I got kicked out on accident. S**t like that happens all the time, so I'm not too worried about it.

I wouldn't actually mind getting the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack, but I'd feel bad about having it if Dad didn't get it first. I know the Burning Crusade expansion pack on had a huge impact on players that had already reached level 60 because there were new areas and everything. Armina, my highest level character, is only level 41. I think that if I ever really get back into WoW, I'll be able to do more faster since I got my Felsteed.

My aunt and uncle play WoW ocassionally do, but they play on a different server. I have a few characters on that server, but I've never really been into playing them since they're such low a level and they can't seem to level up quick enough. I haven't played another warlock since Armina, though. The character that I'm working on in Silverhand (my aunt and uncle's server), is my rouge, Penze. My highest level rouge is Yarnball, whose on my original server, Dalaran...*sigh* I don't know what to do. I could have my aunt and uncle to talk to on Silverhand, but I have so much other stuff on Dalaran...

Well, I haven't been at school this week and the week I was out cost me to have a lot of homework. My mom picked my assignments on Monday and she's parading around me for me to do them. I'm currently doing my creative writing assignments, but I decided to take a break to catch everyone up.

Everything's doing pretty good. I've been trying to keep up with how long I eat my meals, and trust me, it's difficult. I basically have to stretch 2/3 of a Jello cup to about an hour, and I'm worried that sometimes I've been eating to quickly and my stomach pouch stretches, which would mean that the surgery would have been for nothing. My mom and I have been walking like the doctor told us. we tried to on Saturday, but I got over-heated and we went back early. On Sunday, we walked around the track at my school, and on Monday we walked around the neiborhood. We tried walking again tonight, but it was sprinkling and a lot colder than any of the other days.

Plus, today's been pretty hard for me. I've been having trouble breathing. Like, it only happened a few times, though, and each one is pretty explainable. The first time was in the shower, which was probably do to all the hot air. The second time was after we tried to walk, but I live on top of a pretty steep hill. The third time was in Walgreens, but I was kind of overheated because I was wearing a sweatshirt.

The Secret Santa is coming up in *Elysian-Academy. Everyone has been e-mailed with their match, but it said something about a journal coming up where everyone will tell what their character would like to get. I'm probably not gonna get it done before the break, because my mom's slamming me with my school work, but I'll try to give something decent to my person.

I also want to do more of the Odd-Fish battle outfits. James Kennedy put my pictures up in his blog, and I really want to do more for him. Once again, I proabably won't be able to draw until the break. The only exception where I hope my mom'll give me time to draw is that my creative writing assignments are the super hero assignments (I had that last year, too, but I do like it). She wants us to draw our hero and villian. I am doing the writing assignment parts this time, but you guys know how much I like to draw. Here's the link if you want to see my first hero: [link]

SPECIAL: Warlock's Wishes (this Christmas, only!)

Well, I just finished Justice for All. I'm not all that satisfied because of one thing alone: Matt Engarde. Okay, he was a bit of a surfer-dude, but he was incredibly cute. Why'd he have to turn out to be incredibly evil?! That is so unfair to fangirls everywhere!!! It just goes to show there is no true justice in that game! Sure, I'll admit, there's a bunch of other cute guys in that game, but they totally side-blinded me with the one I thought I'd stick with! It was an electronic punch in the face, is what it was! *sigh* I just have to keep saying to myself, "there's other games, which means other chances." Well, even though Engarde's done for me, I have to say that I still like the Nickel Samurai. I mean, how could I not! Look at how cool that arm is!

To my surprise, I think I'm actually starting to like Franziska von Karma. I really just refer to her in my mind as "that bitch with the frills" but upon finishing Justice for All. I don't know, she's kinda growing on me. I also liked Adrian Andrews a lot, despite that she was a bit of a bitch herself.

--------------------------

I'm actually starting to learn how people develop their characters so easily and quickly. You see, I've been having two little RP sessions with ~CatGirlPrime, one is between my Elias and her , and the second one is between my Elias and her Jay Passerine. I haven't been able to "discover" much about Elias with his conversation with Jay (as far as I remember), but with Professor Amayas, I've come to the conclusion that Elias has a cat with an injured back and once had a parrot that wasn't very nice to anyone...

It may be a bit strange, but when I'm trying to speak for Elias, I think, and I have a tiny idea, and then everything else just falls into place. It's a strange feeling, but I kind of like it. Maybe people shouldn't have to think hard to figure everything out about their characters. Sure, how they look and a bit of their history sure does help, but at the same time I feel like I'm forcing things on my characters if I try to give them their "likes" and "dislikes" right of the bat.

Wait, I said that I didn't really learn much about Elias with his conversation with Jay, but I think I've actually learned a lot. I think, when I was creating Elias, I think that maybe I was just trying to give him an extra power by giving him "empathy". But now, he's trying to counsol Jay. Elias is trying to convince Jay that he doesn't have to worry about getting hurt at the academy. Elias is being quite an empath, if you ask me. I guess I was wrong when I said in his profile, "Elias is very good at understanding the feelings of others, but sometimes doesn’t know how to react to them." The little guy's surprising me, and I feel good that someone I created myself can do that to me, even though I should know everything about him.

--------------------------

Okay, I've been playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney -- Justice for All for the DS. It's been pretty fun so far and I like it. I actually have a few cosplay ideas in mind, such as Regina Berry from the third case: Big Top Turnabout. She's absolutely adorable! I just need to find a good picture of her. I really actually want all the others in the Ace Attorney DS series now. There's the first one, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the second one, Justice for All, which I have, the third one's Trials and Tribulations, and then there's Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. The reason I'm not editing my wish list again is because my aunt Lori has apparently been bugging my mom about what to get me for Christmas, so I'm gonna recommend these to her.

I know I said no more changes, but this is sort of an "addition" to one of my current wishes. If I want to clear something up or make something easier, then yes, I'll make changes, but what I meant by "no more changes" is that I wouldn't erase one of my wishes and put something different in it's place.

-------------------------------

Okay, I'm sorry for changing my little wish list so much. I promise, no more. My first change was I now want to be in =RoguesofAxiom instead of *Org-infinity. My second change was I changed 8 completely. I promise, no more, that was the last change, I swear.

-------------------------------

Alright, I saw this on both *nayruasukei's and =Windnstorm's journal, and I knew I just had to do this myself. I'm a total sucker for making people happy, so I'm gonna do this in hopes that the rest of you will too.

STEP ONE

** Make a post in your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

** If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

** Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!


STEP TWO

** Surf around your friend list to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

** If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

** You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Gifts for Warlock

1) I really want to be able to go to either Akon 20 or Animefest 2009 next year. I'd love to go to both, but I'm not sure if I can, but I know I'll hate myself if I don't get to either one next year. EDIT: Yes, I'd like to cosplay, but that can only be done by me. One thing I guess I'd like to do at one of the conventions is that I want to do a group cosplay. Like how a whole bunch of friends get together and cosplay different characters from a certain series. I guess the best examples would be going as Organization XIII members or as Naruto characters.

2) I want to spread the word of Order of the Odd-Fish because I deeply love that book.

3) I want to get Elias and Nethaniah together. Elias loves Nethaniah, but I haven't been able to draw them together because Nethaniah's hair is a nightmare for someone with no skills. I've already tried several things, like Elias sneak attacking/hugging Nethaniah, Elias sending a love letter to Nethaniah, but I just can't get Nethaniah right.

I had a lot of fun at my friend's birthday party on Saturday. There actually wasn't as many people as I thought there would be, which surprised me. It was a small rave-like party that was being held at the rec center. When I firt got there, I was too embarrassed to dance. I couldn't even do the "Caramelldansen" the only song with a specific dance that I actually knew! But after we turned the lights on and did presents and cake and stuff, we turned the lights back off and I actually started dancing. I wasn't doing anything crazy, but I was better than my arch rival, Nina, who was sitting at a table. I doubt Nina knows we're rivals, but she should suspect it. We never actually got along when she was going to Sylvan Hills during middle school. I think I should've bought Victoria an anime DVD for her birthday, like maybe a Fruits Basket DVD, but I got her the Daft Punk Discovery album instead. She's a sweet girl, she doesn't hate anything,and although she seemed to like my gift, I think she would've preferred the DVD.

Ugh, I'm sniffling and sneezing like crazy this morning. It's more than likely my allergies. I hate being snotty and stuffed-up.

--------------------------------------

My mom and dad went to the store to get me some orange juice. The reason why it's such an emergency is that my mom and I are taking these liquid vitamins so we can remain healthy after the gastric. I was able to stand straight the first few days, but everyday it tastes like the tangy dirt half more than the orange soda tasting half. I was gonna go with them, but I was watching iGo to Japan on Nickelodeon. That's right Cleo, I've been watching a few episdoes over the break, and I decided that I do, indeed, like iCarly. Be warned that you can complain, but I probably won't care.

I'm thinking about getting a Japanese version of that Rosetta Stone learning series. When my family lived in Japan, I was too young to remember anything significant, and now that I'm into anime and shows like Ninja Warrior, I want to go there again some day. I want to get the Rosetta Stone so not only do I actually know a second language, I can acutally communicate with people over there when I finally go again. And, if I can get the system extremely soon, I might be able to communicate with any Japanese exchange students that might come to my school next year. I'm not sure about it. I'm gonna go over it with my parents.

--------------------------------------

Well, I just bought this Riku plushie that I saw online. Trust me, I was so happy I nearly screamed when I saw it. It was like God's birthday present to me because I always complained when I saw a lineup of Kingdom Hearts plushies that there was never a Riku one. Best of all: it was KH2 Riku! The best kind!

Well, for my oral communications speech, at the last minute I asked my teacher if I could change from cannibalism to Gaia Online, and she said it was okay. I was pretty happy with myself when I gave my speech, mainly because I met the time limit and I was scared I wouldn't. I also felt I was a little more interesting than some of the others because almost everyone talked like they were reading from a will or something, as in they didn't seem really excited about their topic. I'm not sure if I did either, but I'm pretty sure I did well. I was really nervous on Monday, when I was suppose to give my speech, because I had printed out my speech, brought it up to the kitchen...and totally forgot it. Luckily, everyone else on Monday was taking so long to do their speech that me and 4 others had to do ours on Tuesday.

My friend's birthday is coming up. I know what I'm probably gonna get her, but it all depends if the stores have it.

My parents got me Interstella 5555 for my birthday, which I wanted, but I haven't watched it yet. I know I need to, but I'm not a huge fan of watching movies by myself and I'm not sure anyone else would like it. *sigh* They also got me Soul Calibur IV for my birthday. I like it, I asked for it, but I haven't touched it since I got it. I guess I just subconciously want to take a break from video games right now. Oblivion took a lot out of me.

I don't know why I don't like Fable II as much as Oblivion. You'd think I would from all the s**t yo... ]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/21360286/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/21360286/ Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:11:29 PST My Manga List-

Okay, I did finish drawing the Ichthala costume. I'm not sure about it, though, because I'm not sure if it's what Kennedy pictured the Ichthala being. My friend Chris and I both think it's a gigantic blob with a gazillion tentacles, but that wouldn't make a practical battle outfit. I'll finish it up and have Mr. Kennedy decide what he thinks about it.

--------------------------

Whew! Aznath is done! I don't know what I'm gonna work on next, though. It could be the Elias-Leafeon picture, another Eldritch City god, or maybe one of my Odd-Fish OC's. I'm not so sure about Roger anymore, but this other one that I have is always welcome. I'll have to think about it.

--------------------------

Okay, Aznath is happening. Slowly but surely. I've had a lot of trouble with it since I'm not used to drawing armor, but stuff is leaking out of my brain and onto paper. Hopefully, I'll come up with something good for the rest of it. Since it's the weekend, I might actually get a lot done on it. I but the downtime has caused me to be totally f**ked on where everything is on PhotoImpact though because I can't find the creative lighting and everything. I doubt I'll need it for the Aznath armor picture, but still...I like to know where things are.

For Elias' pokemon, I actually decided on Leafeon. I know, I really wanted a first generation pokemon, but when I saw Leafeon, I thought of Elias.

Ugh, I just totally hate how I'm not drawing as much as I did. I don't know why. Maybe it's school or something.

I got my Odd-Fish back from my creative writing teacher today. She said that she finished the first chapter and never touched it again. I'm assuming that she was too busy because I'd hate the think that she didn't like it. I'm glad I got it back. I have an emotional attachment to that book and I didn't even realize it until she gave it back to me.

My mom has to finish this one book she's reading and then another one and she said that Odd-Fish is next on this list, so I'm happy about that. My aunt Lori's been reading it and she says she really likes it. She said that she reads it during her free time, but I think by the time she emails me back, she'll be done with it. I got done with it in...6 days I think because I was only reading it during my downtime during school. I think I'd rather read a book during school rather than at home because reading during school gives me something to do when I'm done with my work.

--------------------------

I'm slowly, but surely advancing towards an art breakthrough, I swear! My first priority was drawing the Aznath armor for cosplay reference, but since I saw this, I knew I just had to participate. I think *Jubilations came up with a great trend. I call it a trend because I know that *kiminess has already drawn a similar picture of Kemix with his Pokemon, so now I really want to do it myself. Chances are, I'm going to do it with Elias since I think he's my most popular character, in all honesty, I just need to figure out which Pokemon would suit him best. I'm hoping for a first generation, but something else may be more perfect for him, like a Pachirisu or something.

I didn't get to bed until, like, 12:30 or later, which is 2-4 hours past when I usually go to bed.

I asked my dad if it comes for the PS3, and so I'm wondering if he'll make a quick trip to the game store while I'm at school (he's retired, so he stays at home). At first everything seemed a little over my head, but taht was the same with Oblivion, and I got the hang of that pretty quickly.

You heard right. I might actually come out of my art slump long enough to draw my avatar from Gaia because it's j'adorable. If you want to take a preview look of it, both my Gaia and dA name are the same. I really need to update my profile on Gaia though. I like the funny pictures, but I really want to do something else with it.

--------------------------------

I've been doing the Gaia Online Halloween event since Friday. It's pretty fun, but it can get pretty frustrating. I'm on my dad's computer because it goes faster than my computer.

I've already maxed out the items as a dark elf, so I changed to vampire. Then I'm gonna do zombie. I'm more than likely gonna skip human because the human items suck really bad. It's not even worth the trouble.

I'm slowly but surely leveling at this point. Once I complete this, I'll have all the vampire items and I can move on to zombie. I'm dualing between battling and trick-or-treating, so I do have something I can do in the downtime, but other than that, not so much. I tried doing a Gaia Puzzle a few minutes ago when I was still leveling up my dark elf, but I was so distracted by the puzzle that I almost completely forgot I was in a battleground.

--------------------------------

And even more crap.

It's Spirit Week at my school. I don't know if you know what it is, or you may have it and call it a different name, but I'm going to explain it anyway. Each day of the week has a theme and you can do something that day relating to that theme. Like, here's this week:

Monday-Color Wars (each grade wears a different color of shirt)
Tuesday-Twinkie Day (dress exactly like someone else)
Wenesday-Wacky/Tacky Hair Day (explains itself)
Thursday-Costume Day (explains itself)
Friday-Blue & White Day (wear school colors)

It was actually pretty sad because I thought Juniors were the ones that wore red on Color Wars Day. I was excited because I actually have a bunch of red shirts, but then I figured out the hard way that Juniors were suppose to wear orange and Sophmores wore red. I don't even have an orange shirt...or orange anything. It's my least favorite color, to be honest.

I wanted to do something for Twinkie Day, but I dont' think any of my friends had the same thing as me...no, wait...frick! I just remembered that last December, I bought my friends and I different colored fleeces which where red, green, and blue because we were going to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks (since we dressed up as the Turtles [+ Master Splinter] to see TMNT, I wanted to keep the tradition up), and there were two of each "chipmunk" so wer could've done that. Ugh, too bad I forgot. We never got to see the movie though because there was a major powerout on that side of town while we were waiting in line. Before I was in high school and Micheal (my brother, for those of you who don't know) was there, his friend and him ruled Twinkie Day by going as pimps.

For Wacky/Tacky Hair Day, I don't think I'm going to do anything too big. Like, I'm not going to wear a wig or anything because I don't know if we have a crazy wig and it's too late to go out and buy one. I'm thinking I'll just turn my head upside down and spray it to death...or something else. I don't know.

My friends and I are going to dress as the Scooby-Doo gang for costume Day. Sarah's going to be Daphne, I'm going to be Velma...we're still not sure about the others. We tried to convince Chris to be Shaggy, but he seemed really reluctant about it. After that, we still need Fred, Scooby-Doo, and possible a monster if anyone else wants to do it with us. I need to get mom to take me to the store tommorrow night to see if we can find any Velma clothes.

I dont' think I'll do anything for Blue & White day. My brother and his friends topped it this one year by wearing cheerleader uniforms.

--------------------------------

I have to admit, I think I'm done with Oblivion for a while. Nothing went wrong with it, and that's just the thing. I finished the main quest, the Prophet quest, all the guild quests, and the Shivering Isles main quest. They were all done on Makura, my wood elf. I created another stealth character after that. It wasn't really for the... ]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/20900930/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/20900930/ Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:57:04 PDT My Manga List-

Oblivion has basically consumed all of my life. Seriously. In the time that I've had it, I've created 4 different characters. The first one was Ichthala (Imperial Opportunist [self-made class, but it's basically Knight, I just replaced Blunt with something else that I can't remember]), who was going to be a warrior beat-em-up type, but then I discovered the Thieves Guild with her and started my second character, Martyrdel (Kahjit Larcenist [another self-made class]), who would make it easier for me to be in the Thieves Guild. Then, because I wanted to create a character that uses spells, I created Ja'Casu Don (Argonian...mage, I think, one of the magic professions). I had fun with him for a while, but because I really wanted to play a Wood Elf, I made Makura (Bosmer Acrobat [it's not the regular Acrobat class, I just made another class titled Acrobat. I don't know why, but I guess I wanted to make a character that would be known as an Acrobat), and I've been playing her the most lately. I've been doing basically everything with her. I've completed all the Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and Fighters Guild quests, and I tried working on the Mages Guild quests, but I got stuck on the one where you have to shoot different spells at the pillar to reveal the stairs. Since Makura's magick (for those of you that don't know, it i's spelled "magick" in this game) isn't very good, I don't have a lot of spell she can use. I think I have three of the 4 spells needed, but I still need one more: the one that helps magick. I don't know where I can find it, and, sadly enough, even if I do find someone that'll sell it to me, I don't know if her skill in any of the different types of spells is high enough to use them. So, I started doing the main quest instead.

And, I have to admit to :l-is-dead: that he was right about the Dark Brotherhood being a bit better. It was truely fun when I was doing the quests. I always aimed for the bonuses, I never do something that would cost me the bonus. Well, it's not like I got it perfect the first time everytime, but during the middle of the quests, it required a lot of saving, a lot of reloading, and a lot of profanity. I'm kinda upset that all I can do for the Brotherhood now is listen to the Night Mother every well (in the game, not in real life, of course). Man, I just want to murder people perfectly, the way I'm asked to. Honestly, I'm thinking about making a new character just so I can go through all of it again, but I do have the invitation on two other characters, so I guess I could just hop on them to do them.

Dear ~L-is-dead,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our horoscope doesn't match. I think I realized it when your dog ran amok at the mental hospital and I saw you carve your initials into Manchester United's goalkeeper. I'm sure you're man enough to understand that Santa doesn't exist. I'm returning your ring to you, but I'll keep your suicide note as a memory. You should also know that I am better off without the incarnation as an eskimo.

Go burn,

Yikes, I've been gone for a few days, haven't I? Time flies when you're playing Oblivion, so I'm not sure just exactly how long I've been gone. I tried posting earlier (not earlier today, but earlier in the week), but my computer screwed up, and I didn't want to do it again. Anyways, in Oblivion I decided against becoming a vampire because I hated the way it aged my character, I am in the Theives Guild though, and I'm loving every minute of it. Check out the new link I posted above to check everything out.

--------------------------------

Well, you see, my dad was worried that if he, Micheal, and I all had to switch off playing Oblivion, I wouldn't get much game time in, so this morning he left saying if it was avaliable for the PS2...it wasn't. This afternoon I came home to a brand-new PS3 and a copy of Oblivion for it. It was both extremely awesome and kind of saddening because I felt bad that my dad spent so much money on me...and on his birthday.

I've been trying to figure out how to become a vampire and I only know of two ways so far. One: you evetually get a chain of quests which will lead you to the chance of getting bitten. Two: You kill an innocent person and a guy visits you the next time you sleep. I tried method two first. The guy I chose just got knocked unconcious and, needless to say, he didn't like me very much when he go up. Don't worry, I saved just before I attacked him and re-loaded, so we're back on okay terms.

--------------------------------

I know if this new video game called Oblivion. I think the name of it is longer than that, but I know it's for the Xbox 360 and PS3. My brother got it for our 360 and he and my dad have been playing it non-stop. I watched them play it and I really like everything in it. I really want to play it, but I'm kinda worried of what'll happen since all the different stuff would be sensory overload for me. But, nonetheless, I'm gonna try it out when they give me a chance. I tried making a character when neither of them were on when I came home from school but I was so stuck on what race to choose from and what class I'd eventually make them. I know I want to become a vampire at some point, that's for sure. A lot of my friends keep bitching about how hard the vampire is to maintain, but since my dad's character is a vampire and he manages it just fine, I think they're just being wusses. It may also be because my dad has a house convienetly located near a begger that's asleep during night time that he can feed on.

I also realized just how narcissistic I am with my red hair today. I notice just how much I actually touch it by combing my fingers through it or flipping it behind my head. I hate that I love my hair so much because, as you may have noticed, the majority of my charcters have red hair, but I just love it so much. I think that might always be the little piece of me I put in a character.

Well, watching my recorded Bleach episodes has caused me to create yet another Bleach character. It's not bad. I only have four. There's Kinume, Koll, my Bleach version of me, and now this one. I did have another character, but I'm just adding this idea I had to her. I think I have an idea of what her name will be and everything, just gotta work on the Zanpakuto...and I need the Bount arc to finish because, believe it or not, even though the Bount arc doesn't really matter, it matter a lot to her story line and I need to figure out what happens to a certain character in it because the Bleach Wiki summary of the character is too vague for me to know exactly what happens. I should go ahead and draw her, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm out of my art slump yet.

I probably need to start reading those YYH mangas. Yeah, I still haven't read them. I don't know. I didn't do it before because I'm lazy, but now I guess it's because I'm so obsessed with Bleach from watching it.

There's also a few things I need to do school-related. I need to do some more ID words for APUSH, but that's not due until Tuesday. I need to prepare a speech for Oral Comm, but that's not due until Wensday. Plus, I don't really need since it's telling a story that happened to us, but I'd like to organize what I'm going to say so it'll give me a chance to remember all that happened that day and so I don't stumble over my words. I still have that book report for English even though it's not due until October the 16th, but both Cleo and my teacher that lives right next to me want to borrow Odd-Fish so I need to hurry up and do it because I might need Odd-Fish for reference when doing the report.

----------------------------

Alright, so my nose is okay, I'm not sick. It's either I just had the sniffles yesterday or that DanActive stuff works pretty well. I caught up on all my recorded Bleach episodes today, so that was fun, but now I have a headache and I have no idea why. It's probably so unheard of brain-cancer because it'd be just my luck to get a disease no one has ever heard of.

More from the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2. I'm almost done with Aster, I just need one more heart. I can't decide who I'll pair up with next. There's Blair, Syrus, Chazz and Tyranno left. It's probably not gonna be Blair because I tried with her right before I started with Aster and she totally sucks, so I started a new game. I realized the reason why I hate dueling with Aster is because are decks don't go well together because he could probably win dueling by himself and I win when I'm dueling by myself, but with us together, we're not very good. It's kind of like a train-wreck, actually.

----------------------------

Ugh, I'm so snotty and crap. It's really annoying because just this morning I started drinking that DanActive stuff (which isn't bad, actually. It's like drinking yogurt). I hope I don't get the crud this weekend, that would totally suck, 'cause it'd well...be the weekend. Being sick's not even fun in general because the only time it's fun to miss school is when you're not sick. I may just have the sniffles (hopefully)

----------------------------

Well, I just finished Order of the Odd-Fish today. It was really good. I don't want to spoil it, but I want to tell something because I think it's so awesome. You see, there is a form of dueling in this book. The dueling rituals are so fun, but my favorite is that at the ring, each competitor has to dress up as one of the 144,444 Eltrich City gods. My favorite, of course, would be Aznath, the Silver Kitten of Deceit (and that's a real one), but my friends and I made some of our own. Chris, who recommended me the book, made Shazam, the Ay-Ay of Conundrums (I think he may have spelled it wrong on his Gaia Online message, because I can't find it, but here's the picture he sent me: [link]). I like mine the best, but so many people agreed that Chase's couldn't be topped (even though Chase hasn't read the book), so I'll say his last because saying mine last would probably be a let-down.

Alright, once again, I'm updating, but this time it's because I forgot to talk about some stuff in my last update.

I had a little trouble with the winning designs in both Top Design and Project Runway last week. In Project Runway, the challenge was to create an Avant Garde look based off of your or your partner's astrological sign. When it came to the runway, my mom and I agreed that either Leanne (who did Scorpio) or Joe (who did Aries) would win. We both hated to see that Jerell won. To us, his outfit was okay, but it wasn't hit-the-mark. But, we're still glad Terri is gone because she was a total bitch. First, she rejects her partner doing any of the work so he had nothing to do, and then when judgement time came around, she blamed everything on him! Now, I know people want to stay in the competetion, but that's just not cool.

With Top Design, I honestly thought Wisit and whatshisname should've one. I thought their room was cuter than the other one because, first of all, the other room looked like something from the 40s, and second. I mean, I just really liked Wisit and the other guy's room better.

I was watching Ninja Warrior last night before my mom and I went to the store. My poor Shunsuke failed the first stage...much sad. But, he got further than the some of the other contestants. If he would've just held his grip on the Flying Chute, he would've made it, even with more time to spare than the other contestants that made it because he was flying through the stage.

---------------------------------------

Geez, I just edited this thing yesterday and I'm already posting again. Am I that bored? Yes I am.

Well, I was looking at my secret LoZ cosplay and the more I look at it, the more it scares me. It's going to be so difficult, I just know it is. I already have to pay silversark to make the main part of the outfit, but there are several other aspects of the cosplay that just terrify me. Once again, it would just be so cool if I could pull it off, but I'm wondering if I can have it done by any of next year's cons. If you're able to guess who it is, please don't say anything. Like I said, I might lose my drive to do it if people know. It's like writing a book. If you go ahead and tell people the plotline, well, they already know the plotline and they don't need to read your book. I know, it may not exactly be the same, but I'm still going with this concept. I might have to find an expert craftsman to do what I think is the most difficult parts of the cosplay. *sigh* I keep switching back and forth between their concept picture and their digital picture, but I can figure out what can be connected to what because I want to decide what parts to ask silversark for and what parts to ask the craftsman for, and what parts that I may need to find stuff for. *sigh* it's a bit annoying, actually.

Well, I haven't touched my YYH manga. I wish that I would, but I just don't feel drawn to it. Maybe sometime soon, later in the day, I might actually pick up the first one.

---------------------------------------

Okay, so here's the dealio. Since I've been thinking about the Suzaku cosplay I might end up doing, I've been getting into Yu Yu Hakusho again. The only problem? It's not on anymore. So, anyways, after dinner, my dad took my mom and me to Barnes & Noble. I wanted to get some YYH mangas, but I could remember all the ones I had. I got 1-5 and thought to myself, "I just know I have one of these. Oh well, I can always return it," but when I got home, I looked at my manga list and it turns out, I only had 6, 8, and 9! So I didn't have any of the first 5 after all! ... ... ... Okay, yeah, I know I'm a dork, but still. It was pretty exciting for a moment.

Well, another note is my current obsession with Order of the Odd-Fish. I've actually considered to make an Odd-Fish OC club, but I don't have the organization, so chances are, I'll need someone to run it with me. The only problem is, I think Odd-Fish is a really recently published book and it's not getting popular quick enough for me. It's a bit heart-breaking, actually.

Also relating to Odd-Fish, I've actually created two OC's of my own for it. The first one came to me as I was going to sleep. I hate it when ideas come to me when I'm about to go to sleep because then I'm too ti... ]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/20284510/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/20284510/ Tue, 02 Sep 2008 05:58:29 PDT My Manga List-

Well, it's been about a day or two since I posted the journal, so why not add to it?

The title came from this one time we went to Florida for Thanksgiving and we were at Island of Adventures. All the superheroes had just come out and we were walking past the crowd and Captain America shoved my mom a bit. It was more hilarious than offensive. When I told my friends about this at lunch, Sarah said, "that's America for you." And the sad thing is, she's right.

------------------------------------------

Bleh, I finished this story I was suppose to do for English a few hours ago and my brain feels squished of all it's liquids. It was acutally suppose to be a short story and for me it turned out to be around 2 1/2 pages. But, I'm glad it turned out so long because it was actually due on Friday but the more work and detail might actually get to be excused or get fewer points taken off when I turn it in on Monday. What I'm hoping is that she doesn't get to grading my folder over the weekend and I can slip it in there when I'm getting out the 3rd period journals.

It's still kind of a hollow victory because I still have a lot more work to do. I still need to do some assignments for creative writing and I need to do identification words for AP US History. Now, let me explain something about these indivdualy. For creative writing, I still have to finish these questions and do a story about a personal experience related to jealousy, I have to explain this color mandala that I did, and actually, we have a free write for one of them because she accidentally gave creative writing 2 the same assignment she gave us last year, so we had a free write instead and i'm hoping that I can use the same story that I did for english for the free write. i am going to tell my CW teacher that I originally did it for english, but she's cool, so i don't think she'll mind. now, for the AP US History, the identification words are harder than they sound. These words or terms that I have to define are not highlighted in the book or anything, so i literally have to search for them and copy them down.

In YGOGXTF2 news: Alexis still sucks...end of story.

------------------------------------------

Okay, so my friend Preston and I have been emailing each other back and forth for the past few days. I was telling him about my hopes to go as Suzaku for Akon or A-Fest and he says that he doesn't have anything to do around Akon so he might take me. That'd be the coolest thing in the world! It's like, I was worried that my mom would take me and she'd have absolutely nothing to do there, but she trusts Preston (I'm pretty sure she does anyway (he's like my uncle, so she already knows what he's like even though he's not over that much). He wants to go as Link (from Zelda, obviously) for one of them (I don't know which of the cons we decided on yet. At first he said Akon, but then he hinted A-Fest, so it's really confusing). So now I need to try my absolute best in school to make sure I go. Like I said, one of my plans was to try and convince my mom to make one of them a B-Day or Xmas present, but I still haven't talked to her about it. As far as school goes, I'm just praying that my Chemistry class isn't as boring as it is for the rest of the year because if it is, I'm screwed. It's chemistry and AP US History that I'm currently worried about, but everything else seems to be going smoothly.

------------------------------------------

I had to get up at 5:40 this morning to make it to a doctor's appointment at 7:30. I had trouble getting to sleep last night so I fell asleep around 2 or 3 which, if you don't know math, didn't give me a lot of sleepy time. And it's not that I went to bed late, either. I went to bed around 10:30, but I was just tossing and turning so much. Well, regardless, I still had to go to school after the appointment was over, which sucked because I was exhausted.

Okay, here's the stupidity level of my school. I have GIR on my notebook bag for school nobody sitting around me in my housing management class knew who it was. One girl thought it was from Spongebob. Another girl asked me who it was and I explained that it was a robot disguised as a dog and she said, "so technically, it's a dog?" and I said, "no, technically it's a robot disguised as a dog.""...so, technically, it's a dog?" WTF?! A human dressed in a horse costume doesn't tech... ]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/20013507/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/20013507/ Sun, 17 Aug 2008 22:44:40 PDT General Info (sloppy, but informative (kinda))

-----------------

Well, there's a lot that's been going on the past few days. Two weeks ago, my dad, brother, and I were in Gulf Port, Mississippi to visit my dad's parents. My mom didn't go because one of her coworkers had already taken the week off.

The week after that...well, it was kinda a hit-and-miss week. Something happened while we were gone that I don't really wanna talk about. It's a "hit-and-miss" because it caused my aunt to come here and I don't get to see her all that often, and since she's practically an older version of me, we get along great.

Well, during last week, my brother and I went to Barnes and Noble and we got a crockpot cookbook. I have two recipes that I really want to try and I have everything to do each of them, but mom wants to do this one recipe tomorrow so hopefully the greenbeans I purchased for one of the recipes will remain fresh until Tuesday. It does kinda suck though because it doesn't take me long to get ready in the morning because I don't put on makeup and stuff so I usually spend my mornings on the computer or watching TV. Since the crockpot takes all day to cook though, I'll now occassionally have to spend my mornings setting it up. Hopefully, that won't take me as long as I think it will.

Also last week (or it was more like yesterday), my aunt and I were watching a lot of Ninja Warrior (which I know is called "Sasuke!" in Japan). And I discovered that I have a thing for Japanese gymnasts/trampolinists, because while watching Ninja Warrior/Sasuke!, three of my favorites are Daisuke Nakata, Naoki Iketani, and Shunsuke Nagasaki, who are all gymnasts/trampolinists. If you want to know all my favorites, add to those three Shingo Yamamoto and Takeshi/Kane Kosugi. Yes, I'm fully aware that I'm a geek. I was upset to learn that even though Shunsuke tried out for the 2008 Olympics, he didn't qualify. I guess one of my big goals is to see Ninja Warrior/Sasuke! live one day.

Ugh, it totally sucks. I waited too long to post Ethan's entry for *PendeoClub and now they're going on another hiatus. I just haven't been into drawing lately, I don't know what's up. I still have three characters I need to draw! There's my Avatar character, my Final Fantasy XII character, and this character I created that was originally made for Cowboy Bebop and/or Outlaw Star, but I've started picturing her in so many different things...I've got so much work to do.

Since my aunt's been over, I started playing World of Warcraft again. Okay, I didn't know this, but they changed the level where you're allowed to get a mount from 40 to 30 and nobody told me...okay, I would've been the pissiest person on the planet if my overwhelming joy of getting a mount didn't counter it. But then again, I haven't played Armina that much even when I got the mount because I created a character on my aunt and uncle's server. I made a rouge. It's kinda different for me, but at the same time, it isn't because I have a rouge on my original server, but it's still different to me. I played my hunter (Nakka) and my warlock (Armina) a lot compared to my original rouge (Yarnball) and I couldn't understand why. I think the reason is, with a hunter or a warlock, you almost always have your pet/minion out, so I guess playing as anything else, I get lonely occassionally (we've already established that I'm a geek, right?). But, I know which characters my aunt plays on a lot (which is her high-level rouge, Izzi, and her newly-developed hunter, Brahn, who is around the same level as my new rouge, Penze).

Well, my aunt and her friends get together and play D&D, and I want to learn how to play, but I'm incredibly lazy and don't read the books, but I'm mainly having trouble designing a character considering I don't know all of my options for a class and race. My aunt, Lori, said that one of the easiest ways to do it is to figure out what type of personality you want your character to have and work around that. I have a starting idea and I'm gonna email it to her.

I'm kinda scared about getting into D&D. With it and WoW, I might never get on here again. I actually haven't looked at anyone's deviations in the longest time, I just delete them and say, "I'll come back to it later," but I never do. Hopefully I will...

----------New News------------

Alright, so I finally put that link up for the Avatar theme songs, but I have to warn you: it's very incomplete. I just wanted to see what you guys would have to say for it. Now, on to more stuff.

I finished a new picture of Ethan that I figured matches his new persona, but I can't decided whether it would make a good character entrance sheet, or just a good picture. I've been incredibly lazy for a while so I need to et of my ass and ink and color it so I can see if it works. I really like the picture of Ethan ~chocolatehomicide did, but now that I changed his character, it doesn't really fit with the picure. I feel so bad...

----------Old News------------

Blah, so many things I need and want to do. Alright, for starters, I need to kinda reinvent Ethan for *PendeoClub because since Elias is already the stereotypical uke, I need to change Ethan's persona a bit. Also, I really need to draw a character sheet for my Avatar character. I'm not saying her name because it may be what I've been thinking of for a while, but I might change it at the last minute. Okay, ignore the prosthetic-super-strong question I asked about a few days ago. I don't know why I asked it because between the time I asked it in this entry and the last time I asked you, I think I had already decided that I'd rather have the prosthetics just give her arms...but I did take the legs out. Yes...she gets to keep her legs.

Once again, I'm going to bring up cosplaying, but I'm not gonna bring up Animefest because I'm pretty sure I'm not going. I don't know. I haven't asked my parents yet and all this other stuff, but I might go next year. But, I thought that when I'm finally going to go, I want to cosplay as a Dai Li agent. You see, when I first saw them when the end chapters of the Earth book were being released, I thought, "those guys are pretty cool." But now I've been watching the mini-marathons on Nicktoons Network, and when I saw them this time I was like, "*gasp* Those outfits are sooooo coooool!!!!!" And, since my character is going to be a part of the Dai Li when she's older (omg, spoilers, not really), I might cosplay her.

.....

Sorry, I'm actually writing this over the course of two days because I need to think of more interesting stuff to say. Well, I can defiantly count Animefest out because of this little problem that's going on our household. Trust me, none of us did anything wrong, it's these hicks that are giving us all the trouble, but everything should be over soon (and in our favor, for sure).

...I thought of something else that I need to do, but I just now forgot what it was. I think it had something related to the color red...damn my confused mind.

Well, my mom and her friend dragged me to see Mama Mia! last weekend. It actually wasn't bad, but my mom and I didn't want to see it because the Bravo channel was practically shoving the thing down our throats. One thing I hated about it was that they stacked songs. It's like, usually in a musical (what I feel should happen) is that, they give you a song, and then there would be 5 or 10 minutes between that and the next one. In Mama Mia, sometimes it was spaced out, but other times it was song-1 minuet-song, and that just irritated me to no end. But, like I said, it wasn't bad.

I'm going to catch up on every single Avatar episode over the next few weeks. You see, on Nicktoons Network, they actually show Avatar quite a lot, so I'll be able to see all the episodes that I missed, which is really cool. I was actually telling =Windnstorm in one of his journal entries that I think there might actually be an Air book, but it'll be about what happened to everyone after the finale, or what I'm hoping for is that each chapter will be a different story about what happened to a supporting character after they were separated from the group, like, and example would be, what happened to Jet, Longshot, and Smellerbee between when the Freedom Fighters broke up and when they made it to Ba Sing Se. I like that idea the most.

Well, I guess that's all I have to say for now...wait! Okay, one... ]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/19390508/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/19390508/ Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:08:00 PDT My Manga List-+-Mailenex-

Avatar Dilemma

Alright, not about my dA avatar, but about my Avatar: the Last Airbender character. I didn't want to spoil the surprise (though there really wasn't one), but I need help. Now, I already designed my character to have prosthetic arms and legs and I had also figured out the different metals that the limbs are composed of so they couldn't melt or rust. The problem I'm having is, should these be basically normal prosthetic limbs and that all they do is give her limbs, or should I make it that the limbs make her incredibly strong? I really don't know and I need help on this. Like I said, I know few people actually read my journal, but if anyone's willing to give advice, I'm willing to listen...or read, I guess it would be.

A little complaint...

Okay, someone reported my trainer card for "art theft or no permission" and it was deleted by a member of the dA staff. Now, what kills me is that the website was on the trainer card, and Pokecharms is free for everyone to use. Plus, I've seen hundreds of trainer cards on this sight that haven't been deleted yet. Did I have to put the website in my comments or something because I thought that the website on the card was just enough. And look, I'm sorry if any part of my trainer card was the same as yours, but I'm not stalking anyone! I'm not taking your ideas! But, if you have a problem with my artwork, I'd prefer if you talk to me about it first instead of going ahead and reporting me, and even if you still want to report me, it's not like there's a whole lot I can do to stop you, but the thought of someone thinking my artwork was a ripoff is irritating to no end. I just want everyone to know that I'd never steal anyone's artwork and having someone think I might really hurts a lot.

HOLY FRICK!

Okay, since I'm a giant dork, I looked up Avatar the Last Airbender on Wiki, and when I found this out, I just had to tell someone! Okay, *deep breath* they're actually making a live-action film adaptation of ATLA that's currently set to premire July 2, 2010. Now, I'm really not so sure about this because it's not easy to turn a cartoon into a live-action film, but I'm excited to see this, nonetheless. Another thing that I'm cosidering to be wierd is that M. Night Shyamalan is going to produce the trilogy (yes, I said trilogy, alright). Now, it's not that I have a problem with him, and I've never actually seen any of the movies he's directed (I wanted to see "Lady in the Water" though), but from the previews of his movies and what people say about him, he's considered to be a bit "out there" and you can't be "out there" when the targeted age group for Avatar is 6-11 year olds, even if so many people, no matter the age, watch it. But still, I can't wait. Maybe I could wait a little longer if they would hurry the f**k up with that Tekken movie.

Oh, and for those of you who play on Gaia Online, I think I might know a clue to the MC for January 2010. You see, on January 15, 2010, there's going to be a solar eclipse. Notice how it's on the same day the MC's are gonna come out? Damn, I'm good.

The Project Effect

Okay, I'm really into most of the reality shows on the Bravo channel. At first, I really only watched it when Most Outrageous Moments was on, but during the summer of last year, I got into Top Chef during it's third season. Now, I'm watching the second season of Shear Genius, and I've been watching all the Project Runway marathons lately.

However, I think watching Project Runway for so many hours has affected me. I've already thought of three cool outfits. Sure, I'm positive I'll never be on Project Runway (pray for me if I ever decide to pick up a needle), but it's actually kinda fun designing stuff.

Really, actually, I've only been able to see 3 seasons of PR: second, third, and fourth. And I have some complaints about the second and third winners. Daniel and Uli shouldv'e been the winners of their respective seasons, not Chloe and Jeffery (but I have to admit, I prefered Jeffery over that red-headed bitch, whatever the f**k her name was). And I wonder to myself about the forth season a lot. It's like, I mainly knew about Christian from the outfits he designed for Gaia Online's prom. And when I watch him on TV now, I wonder to myself if I would have rooted for him if I ever watched the season when it was new. Maybe...he kinda reminds me of one of my friends.

Countdown

You think this is gonna be something serious? That's so cute and naive. Anyways, this morning I was was watching this superhero countdown on Bravo. Well, there were three episodes of it in a row. The first one was superheros, the next wa... ]]> ~DarkshireWarlock http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/19010995/ http://DarkshireWarlock.deviantart.com/journal/19010995/ Fri, 04 Jul 2008 05:26:09 PDT My Manga List-Mailenex-

Okay, I'll admit it, I got the "+" around the title thing from *nayruasukei (BTW, don't you want to kill her for having a difficult username?), but I don't really care. Just trying to make the place nice.

It is so effing cold in here. I don't know how much longer I'll be about to stand it. Well, it is getting close to 7:30am, which is my summer bedtime, so I guess I won't be in here for too terribly long.

Well, I sent my email in to Cake (*Sheikah-ness). I had four pages worth of a letter. I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed that I'm able to say so much to a person I don't know very well...

And another thing. I've actually been thinking about getting into =Org-infinity again. This time, I have two elements lined up that haven't been taken and I'm pretty sure they're not close to anyone elses. At first I was thinking "hyper innate capability" but since they want a battle pose in your character sheet...well, I don't know how I'd do for hyper innate capability. The two elements that I'm debating with myself now are "Arcs" and "Platinum" and I've figured out a different weapon for each of them. If I do arcs, Mailenex's weapon would be a double-headed scythe, and if I do platinum, it'll be a yari spear. I just really hate the fact that we have to have the Nobody symbol somewhere on the weapon. Not all of the original Nobodies had the symbol on their weapons! I guess it wouldn't be so much of a problem to me if it wasn't such a difficult symbol to draw. You know symmetry is my mortal enemy. I know after being reject four times I should stop with this, but one of the things I really want is for Mailenex and Xukat to be paired up, and I honestly feel I should get Mailenex in the club before having her say anything......I think I'll try arcs, since it's mroe original.

-----------------------------

Alright, once again I'm on the computer and bored out of my mind, so for those of you currently playing Bleach: Shattered Blade, I'm sure you've probably looked up all the unlockables (I have), but even if you have them typed on a piece of paper and printed out, it can be confusing to look at because sometimes the character you want is at the last stage of a chain. To help, I'm gonna put the chains up here in hopes it'll be less difficult to see later on (I haven't unlocked everyone myself, but I'm thoroughly trusting the internet at this point):

NOTE: “E”=episode mode, rest are arcade mode + I'll try to use the name I think they're most known by to cut down on time. It's kinda 50-50 with Shuhei Hisagi, I think, because I'm used to the name Hisagi, but more people may thing Shuhei is the correct way to refer to the character. Same thing with Uryu Ishida. I use both the same amount of times, but they refer to him more as Uryu in the anime.

Single Start Chains
Uryu=Kurotsuchi=Urahara
Chad=Shunsui=Ukitake=Yamamoto
Hitsugaya(E)=Hanataro(E)=Shuhei
Training Mode=Yoruichi(E)=Soi Fon
Kenpachi=Ikkaku=Yumichika
Histugaya(E)=Momo
Renji(E)=Rukia
Arturo Plateado (E)->Arturo Plateado

Combo Start Chains
Matsumoto + Kira=Gin
Shuhei + Komamura=Kaname
Gin + Kaname=Ulquiorra=Aizen=Grimmjow
Kenpachi + Yumichika=Yachiru

I'm pretty sure very few people read my journal, but I like typing and I like to think that I'm helping people out, especially with video games.

-----------------------------

Geez, this afternoon I got my two Bleach video games that I ordered and I've been playing Shattered Blade on the Wii for more than three hours. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow 'cause I know my arm's gonna be SORE!!! One of my first goals in the game was to unlock Shuuhei, and to do so, you have to beat episode mode with Hanatarou. I didn't mind this 'cause I love Hanatarou, the problem is he kinda sucks, and with the trouble I had completing his episode mode, I could easily say some pretty nasty things about Ikkaku, Kira, and Kenpachi right now. I got my ass totally handed to me by them and I wonder which one took me the most tries to defeat. And, since I currently hate Kira with a dear passion because of this, I'm not looking forward to having to play him to unlock Gin. I've already beaten arcade mode with Matsumoto (and I noticed that with Matusmoto and Orohime [as well as other characters] they didn't design it so the hair would move, but with those two, their boobs move and I honestly don't know what to think of this).

In addition to all of this, I've actually been think... ]]> ~DarkshireWarlock
