So, my holiday was great.
Got me a laptop and a Zune.
My sister got an XBox 360, which I'll never get a chance to play, since my parents thought it was a good idea to also get her Left 4 Dead 2.

I'm never going to see my sister ever again...

-cough-

Anyways, I'm typing this on my new laptop, and as I'm sitting here, I believe she needs a name.
I name all my electronics, so this one shouldn't be any different.

Anyone got any good names for a sparkly new HP laptop?

I love this thing!!
Now that I have this, I can start playing PC games again!
Maybe I can actually finish Portal.

My poor PC DIED trying to play Portal. It was so sad.
It worked pretty decently on the simpler levels.
But then we got further and further in and it just... kinda... died...

So, yeah.
As of right now, don't expect any new digital arts from me.
All I have on here is Paint.

...

...which is fucking AWESOME on Windows 7.
Really, it's more than just pixelated lines!
I am amused!

Merry Christmas!
I love you all!

]]> *DemonLuna This week in one word? http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/28892802/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/28892802/ Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:19:42 PST
Just... pure shit.

Had an awful day on Tuesday, wound up breaking into tears on several occasions.
Finals were also this week.
Usually it wouldn't be so bad, but ohmygod everything was just so damn inconvenient.
It was ~FINALS~ week!
WOO!

In fundamentals we were doing a still life in acrylic while also using transparent acrylic matte.
Fuck me in the eye socket, I have never used this crap before.
Not to mention we had NO practice or assignments with it before hand.
We pretty much just jumped right into it.
Yeah, this started on Tuesday, the beginning of my week long shitfest.

At the end of class on Tuesday, it looked like a monochrome acrylic monster barfed all over my canvas.
I looked around at all my other classmates' work and I was just so embarrassed by how awful mine looked.
It was humiliating.

In life drawing, we had to draw the model in three days, make sure it's super proportional and shade it.
No big deal.

Uhh...

The model would NOT stop moving, making it difficult to cite angles and take measurements.
Oh, and then 15 minutes before our final class ends [today], my teacher comes up to me, says my legs are wrong, tells me to erase them and draw them back on.
And here I am already fully shaded and nearly finished, and now I have to redraw his damn legs while trying to get past the fact that he can NOT stay still.

Needless to say, the look pretty bad, considering I also had to speed shade them.

Oh, and don't even get me started on my anatomy final.
That was the WORST thing ever.
I don't know SHIT about the muscles in the arms and legs, and I had to pretty much pull latin names out of my ass in order to guess what they were.

Seriously, we have a small lecture and a quiz on the materials.
That's it.
No homework, no nothing.
We have one day of listening to her chatter on about muscles with long names that sound like the other muscles we just learned, and then we get quized.
Uh...
So, how am I supposed to apply this and learn it again?

-facepalm-

Oh yeah, not to mention all this was neatly wrapped up with a bow that consisted of Rob not speaking to me all week.
I mean, he's been shitty as well, but come on.
Anyway, I won't get into that.
It just ends with me going to bed pissed off and having a nightmare.

Oh, and did I mention how blistering cold it was on Wednesday and Thursday?
Yeah, I love the winter and all, you guys should know that.
BUT HOLY FUCK.
The wind was horrid.
It was snowing SIDEWAYS all day on Wednesday.
SIDEWAYS.
I even saw it snowing UP in some places!
[figure that one out!!]

The wind almost shot me into a busy intersection.
Yeah, that was fun!

-pinches bridge of nose-

I think I need to play Smash Bros.
Me and my buddy from school were trying to study for our anatomy final today, and we wound up having an in depth conversation about Brawl, so I've been thinking about it all day.
Maybe beating the shit out of fictional characters will help me let out some steam.

TOO BAD MY DUMBASS WII HATES CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET

-throws Wii out the window-

Just one more week of school until winter break.

Just one more week...

Clubs I'm In

THAT MEANS MY JOURNAL IS BEAUTIFUL AGAIN!

-cough-
Anyway, believe it or not, I've actually been making progress on my story.

-gasp-

What?
THAT shocking?

I've tweaked Eiros's design a bit, to make more sense, and some plot holes are slowly coming together.

Does this mean that you'll be seeing some comic pages soon?

Not likely.

But hopefully it means that you'll be seeing more character and concept art!

...if I ever get around to uploading stuff.

Someone poke me with a sharp object so I can get off my lazy ass and do something here.

]]> *DemonLuna Ahhh, the first of November... http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/28085059/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/28085059/ Sun, 01 Nov 2009 11:10:01 PST
The holiday season!
Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite holidays

Not to mention that Winter is my favorite season!

And also not to mention that during November and December I can see my love a lot more.

He made me go a MONTH without seeing him. D:
The last time we saw each other was at the end of September, and he just came back in for Halloween. Too bad he's leaving again tonight.

I still hate the fact that he doesn't live here anymore...
And it still makes me really sad every time he leaves to go back...
-frustrated sigh-
I guess being at a school that I love kinda helps with the separation...
I guess...

-shakes head-
No time to get nostalgic right now...

Uhhh, anyway, I had an awesome Halloween costume this year!
I was a Silent Hill Nurse.

Too bad Halloween itself failed to live up to the awesome it's supposed to be. :/
It was FREEZING and we literally got like 8 trick-or-treaters.
-shrug- I dunno.
It was just weird.

My school DID have a bigass Halloween Party/Costume Contest on Friday though.

That was definitely fun!
I didn't win anything, but the people who DID win totally deserved it!
Oh, and some of the photography students set up a little photoshoot for people in costume, so I got some nice pictures of me.
Whenever I get those I'll definitely post them!

[hah, I've been saying that about a lot of my stuff lately, haven't I? oh well, it'll get done eventually...

Oh

Anyway, I'm only updating right now because I finished an exam early and I have nothing to do until the next train arrives, so here I am!

Oh, I finished my first big commission.
My dad's coworker wrote a little storybook for her niece and asked me to illustrate it.
So, you should be seeing my little illustrations in the near future.
I got $75 for it.

She's going to get it published, too, so that's pretty awesome.
Not only that, but she's planning on making it a series, and if that's the case, I got me a job.

Once she get's it published and whatnot, I'll post some info links here.

Also, I'm taking Gaia avatar art commissions.
You might have seen the examples I have in my gallery, but if not, here's the kind of art I'll do. The prices I'm asking are with the examples [they shouldn't be too bad. I'm always so unsure as to how much I should charge!

Just note me if you're interested.

Oy, I gotta go catch the next train, so see you next month when I decided to update again.

]]> *DemonLuna Update~! http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/27316999/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/27316999/ Sun, 20 Sep 2009 10:17:36 PDT An updated journal.

I'd say I've been busy, but that really isn't true.
Well, it kind of is. But I'm not busy all the time!

I start my fourth week of college tomorrow.
I must say, I have been enjoying it immensely!
However, I have been getting extremely frustrated with myself.
Since I came from a high school that only offered a single freshman art class, I feel extremely unprepared and very behind in terms of technique and whatnot.
I mean, I JUST learned how to measure stuff and cite angles, and I should have known how to do that from the beginning.
I'm surrounded by people who have had a ton more experience than I have, and while I know I shouldn't let that affect me, it gets kind of... discouraging after a while...

We were doing perspective boxes all week, and I don't think I've ever become so irritated with my work before.
Needless to say, I hate boxes now.
And we start on perspective cylinders tomorrow! Uhg!!

Anyway, I've actually started making progress in my Life Drawing class.
I wish I could take home my work, but I'm lacking a portfolio bag at the moment and I really don't feel like carrying a giant newsprint paper pad to and from the train station...
But I did take a picture of my newest model drawing, which I'm actually proud of.

So one of these days, I'll upload it.

Wow, there's a lot more I want to say, but since a certain somebody now has a DeviantArt account, I don't think I should say what I want to say.

Great, now I'm going to have to hold back on everything I want to pour into this text box.

It's times like this that I kind of wish this website had a "private" journal feature, like Xanga. It allows you to pick which people can see your entry.
A feature that I most enjoy.

Oh well.

And I am absolutely loving it.

I got to draw from a live nude model for the first time yesterday and it was AWESOME.

Words can't describe how badass it is when you go to school and have to draw all day.

Maybe once I get a giant carrying bag for my giant paper and drawing board I can take some stuff home and upload it here.

OH well, keep an eye out for my first school project.

Gotta finish it before Tuesday.

Oh, and also, I got a raging cold.
On the first week of school.

-RAGE-

]]> *DemonLuna :/ [Gaia Art Shop info!] http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/26826651/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/26826651/ Tue, 25 Aug 2009 22:09:11 PDT Which I guess is improvement.

I'm starting to get my appetite back, but it's random.
One moment it'll feel like I'm starving, the next it'll feel like I want to barf.
Stupid confused body...
I want food again. D:

So, it's almost been an entire week since he left.
I've managed to get past the unnecessary ridiculous crying, which, I found out, was not only amplified due to my stress but ALSO because of oncoming girl-related problems.

Wow, great combination, huh?

Well, at least I've mellowed out now.
It's still hard to get by.

However, I don't think I've ever had such great musical help.
I've been listening to Oceanlab [my favorite trance artist] nearly nonstop since we came back from dropping Rob off.
And seriously, I don't think I've been calmed by music before.

Quite amazing, actually.
Also, I HIGHLY recommend listening to their music. The woman who sings their songs has the prettiest voice I've ever had the pleasure to hear!

Let's see. New things to discuss...

Oh, Amy and I are trying to pull some strings to try and manage an overnight trip to see Rob.
I'm excited! It's the only thing I really have to look forward to.

Scratch that, I'm also excited for this:
I'm currently trying to open up a Mini Art Shop on Gaia!
I did some sample work for the shop in the style I'm planning on using, and I used a lot of my friends' avatars. I really hope they don't mind! D:
It's free art, after all.
Anyway, I'll be uploading what I have so far along with the prices I'm planning on charging.
I'll need help in determining if they're decent, though. I don't want to charge too much! D:

That's it, I suppose...

I haven't been so stressed or depressed in my entire life.

This transition into college isn't going so smooth for me.
Especially when a lot of my friends, the boy I love included, are leaving me behind...

I really wish that sometimes I, myself, was also leaving to go live at school, so I can have something to keep me distracted from being unhappy.

But alas, I don't even start school for another two weeks.

Which means there's going to be a lot of time to myself.

Which then means that I'm going to be thinking too much, making myself feel worse.

I can't eat.
I can't sleep.
I can't go one minute without feeling like I'm going to burst into tears.

God, I feel so helpless and lonely right now.

]]> *DemonLuna I decided to be an extreme nerd today http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/26493336/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/26493336/ Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:32:00 PDT

I felt kind of out of place, to be honest.
Like I was surrounded by tons of stuff that I was clueless about.

Oh, and completely unlike Anime Central, cosplayers were the minority there.
AND there was NO LINE to pick up my badge.

Why can't Anime Central be like that instead of having con goers spend most of their day standing in a line, as if they're being punished for not registering early?
-cough-

Anyway...

I got some nice merch.
A new Zelda shirt and even a badass looking Kingdom Hearts one, as well.

AND I FINALLY FOUND VOLUMES 2 AND 3 OF LEGENDZ.
AND
I got Vampire Knight 7 before the release date.

OH.
And the BEST part of everything.
I got to meet Jim Su, one of the people who worked on season 4 my favorite cartoon ever: ReBoot!

Rob and I were walking through Artists Alley and I my eyes skimmed across his booth, and when I finally noticed that there were familiar characters there, I literally stopped in my tracks.
He was selling "The Art of ReBoot", AND he was signing the pages that included his artwork.

I jizzed in my pants right there.

And while I was disappointed to hear that no new seasons were in the works, it was a breath of fresh air to hear that there's an actual comic book series that's going to be coming out!

So, despite feeling like a fish out of water, I did have a lot of fun today.

But holy hell do my feet hurt.
I had my graduation party Saturday night and I think I sat down for a total of an hour during it. I was too busy dancing my ass off.

Partner that with the fact that I had a crappy nights sleep [4 hours all together], it equals me being in a horrific hang-over like state.

That being said, I need sleep.

ALSO, IT'S FUCKING HOT.
WHY, AT THE END OF SUMMER, DID CHICAGO DECIDE TO TURN ON THE HEAT?

]]> *DemonLuna Who fails at flower pressing?! http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/26442018/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/26442018/ Fri, 07 Aug 2009 10:20:46 PDT
Oh, wait...
I do. ._.

Yeah, so, back in June I decided to press both of my prom corsages and a rose that I got in a bouquet for my graduation.

SO, I forget about them, yadda yadda.
'Til I'm reminded a few days ago, and I decide to go see the status of it.

I open the books, and out comes the first one, oooo slightly destroyed but that happened at prom so it's no big deal.
It's nice and dry and preserved.

Then I remove my second corsage, which was a white rose from Rob, and oooo it's all perfect and whatnot.

So, I open the book housing the regular rose, and oooooOOHHMYGODWHATISTHIS?!!

The flower MELTED into this sticky brown goo that stretched across the pages.
The stench was UNBELIEVABLE, it was like sitting in a room full of rotting fish asses.

Being the brave trooper that I am, I decide to try and remove the soggy remains of my rose.

So I grab the stem stump and I lift up and I'm hit with another whiff of rotten fish ass partnered with getting nasty death syrup on my fingers.

"Yeah, FUCK THIS"

I close the book and I contemplate leaving it there until morning, since I'm a loser and started doing this at 1 am not thinking that something like THIS was going to happen.

I get in bed and all I can do is stare at the book that's hiding the flower of death, and while the pages of the book conceal the stench [which is why I never noticed before], just knowing it's lurking there is making my nose hairs burn up.

I grudgingly get up, knowing what I have to do to sleep peacefully, and I take the book downstairs.

The first thing I immediately did was take out some ziploc bags, because I'm pretty sure the smell of rotting fish ass is a little bit stronger than the rest of the smells coming out of the garbage and I didn't want anyone to smell my embarrassing situation.

Like a doggy bag, I turned it inside out and put it over my hand so I can use that to peel off the corpse of my flower.

Now that that was done, I now had two pages completely over taken by the rose's liquid stench.

Did you know that ziploc bags are an amazing invention that completely conceals ANYTHING smelly you put in there?

Because those bags are my new best friend.

So yeah.
I'd give you an analysis on why my rose decided to liquefy itself, but I honestly have no fucking idea what happened.

Oh yeah, and my graduation party is tomorrow.
But I'm pretty sure my smelly story is more interesting than that.

She was driving with her boyfriend late Saturday night and the drunk driver just crashed head on into them.

She has a broken collarbone and a fractured disc in her back and she's covered in scrapes, burns, and bruises.
Her boyfriend has a burned face and shattered femur and has to go through therapy to walk again.

I'm at an absolute loss of words.

Just knowing she could of...

...

But, she isn't.

I did start working on a new journal layout and then I saw how little I had left and I said "just forget it"

Um, we haven't really had a day of summer here in Chicago.
I've only swam in our pool ONCE since the weather has been making swimming unnecessary.

It rained on the Fourth of July. ):<
And it was sunny and warm the next day.
I felt very jipped out of my Fourth of July celebrations.

---

There was another welcome day at the Academy, and this time we got to take a double-decker bus tour of the city. And even though I live here, the tourguide pointed out a LOT of things I never knew.
Like I had no idea that there was a prison shaped like CHEESE wedged between some buildings [get it? wedged? cheese? 8D]
But srsly
I had no idea.

I finally got to talk to

for the first time in real life, and even met some cool new people!

-sniffle-
I'm so proud of myself.
Being all shy and embarrassed and actually talking to people.
It's a definite improvement.

But, uh, anyway.
Yeah, these welcome days are definitely making my transition into college a lot smoother and less embarrassing.

---

So yeah, this Last Airbender movie is REALLY proving itself to be really cool!

I finally got to see Katara and Sokka, and WOW do they look good!
The guy who plays Sokka is really cute, too. D:
I totally forgive him for being in the Twilight movie.

I just wish they didn't have to be removed by the request of Paramount.
It's like they're teasing us.

Oh, here's where I get my updates and whatnot:

There's also the official website which is COOL, by the way!:

It was actually a surprise, since I wasn't supposed to see him until Tuesday.
And I was half asleep on my couch in my front room.
My dad says "Lauren, someones here" so I look out the front and I see no one there and I'm all pissed since I just got up and I see him walking up my backstairs.

That bastard came in through the back door.

AND he lied to me in order to surprise me.

I shat a brick, though.

He went to DISNEYLAND.
And was gone for ALMOST 2 WEEKS
That BASTARD.

But I still love him.
He bought me a Stitch plushie and a mini Mickey Munny. ;___;
[Mickey Munny = this [link] except without the phone and smaller]

I'm not sure how I want to paint the Munny, yet.
I'm thinking Steamboat Willie style, but I'm going to wait until I know for sure.

OH HAY GUYS I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL

SHOWER ME WITH PRAISE!
Oh, yes I am sad. It's really weird. It feels like I didn't get any closure on any of my classes and didn't get a chance to say goodbye to everyone. We didn't have an official last day of school, which is probably why I feel like this.

But then again I'm happy... and for what reason, I don't know!

OH. I went to GameStop yesterday to reserve my copy of the new Kingdom Hearts game [zomg] and I found Daxter for the PSP for FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS. -is playing it right now-
Also, my PlayStation died and I am SO GLAD they only cost $100 now! ONLY A HUNDRED -creams herself-

I hope you guys don't care, but I'm about to dump so many pictures on you.

I tried to document my last week at school through pictures.
First is Prom, which was the 30th, all the way to Graduation, which was the 5th [but I have pictures of the sleepover, so technically it goes until the 6th, LOL]
So, the first part is Prom [and some pictures from the giant sleepover afterwards]! The rest will come in a separate journal!

PROM 2009
First, the obligatory hair shots! [before anyone asks, my mom did my hair and it was all a complete accident!]

Now for the good stuff:
Photobucket

My mom, me, and my sister. We all look the same, don't we?

Yup. This picture describes my whole night.
Just kidding, but I still LOVE IT for some reason. It's so awkward!
[oh, when Rob walked in I blushed madly. I haven't blushed at him in a looong time]
Photobucket

Casey brought over his delicious homemade special brownies. I especially like how he decorated it, lmao!
http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/25089227/ Tue, 02 Jun 2009 13:32:50 PDT I feel so depressed right now, it's really surprising. I wasn't even this upset when I graduated 8th grade...

I don't want it to end.
Not yet.

That being said I'll soon put up a journal entry about how great my prom was [complete with pictures].
I suppose prom is what made me so unhappy and made me not want everything to end because my desire to go back and relive Friday and Saturday night is unbearable.

I think my anxiety is killing me, too.

But onto something slightly different.
College.
Rob is going to be living on campus in Champagne.
That is literally going to kill me.
I've been spoiled with being able to see him nearly every single day since I started high school. And now he's going away.
He is definitely coming back on most weekends... but...

Seriously. It's going to kill me.
So... brace yourselves for some emo journals near August.

Yeah, so, partnered along with that, I am now somewhat worried about him being away.
For the record, we ask each other some... odd questions that you probably would never consider asking whoever you're dating.
I asked him "Who would you do it with, and don't say me, based on your relationship with them?"

So it takes him like 10 minutes of extreme thinking, and he kept wanting to say me, but I kept telling him to pick someone because my morbid curiosity is just that weird.
Finally he says "If I had to pick, it would probably be this girl that I work with at 'The Mash'. She and I butt heads a lot like we do."
Me: So, I guess that gives me an idea of what kind of girls you like?
"I like a girl who can hold her own."

Ok, that's fine. I'm surprised he didn't ask me the same question [that might have been because of us finishing our ice cream run and returning to my house, lol]

Like 10 minutes pass, and he says "You know, maybe I shouldn't have told you about that girl.."
Yeah, panic mode engaged.
Me: Why...?
"Because were both going to the same school next year."

Great...

I'm not that bothered that they're going to school together... That's far from the case.
I'm bothered because he thought I might have a problem with him telling me about her...
He said that he thought I would become suspicious if he talked about her.

Err... I'm more suspicious right NOW than if you would have told me before.

He also said that he thought I might become jealous...
Uh, there is nothing for me to be jealous of...

I don't know...
It's not that I don't trust him.
I just don't trust other people.

Uhg...

I'm being forced to take the stupid drivers ed class.
After being lied to and not getting an appropriate apology nor has the liar been removed from her position [and for the record, I don't think that simply because of this situation. I'm not the only one she's screwed over

] I STILL have to take the damn course.

And due to this, I can't go to my Journalism class after school anymore. ;__; I also can't walk home with Rob or act like an ass after school because I have to leave IMMEDIATELY when school ends.
OH TO TOP THAT OFF, there is basically NO WAY I can actually clock all 30 hours I need before the end of school. So I'm hoping that my teacher isn't as big of a dickhead as he comes off to be and helps me here.

Like I said before, I wouldn't have such a big problem with this if I wasn't, you know, LIED TO.

But whatever.

Um, I really am working on the trades. There's just been a lot of, well, crap being thrown around. But trust me, I am trying as hard as I can.

Don't hate me...
Oh, ~Cheinei and I have started this... mini series.

If that's what you want to call it.
It's called GaugedGuys and it starts both of our super pierced, completely rebellious hardcore characters, Keith and Victor.
It started as a joke, and it soon grew huge.

It's quite funny, too. It's just basically the two guys competing and trying to 1up the other on how rebellious and hardcore they can be.
The drawings are sooooo not as good as we really are since this started spontaneously during class and has grown in the environment of boredom and school-loathing.

So yeah. We hope to get some stuff up soon!

]]> *DemonLuna Pissed off. http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/24603984/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/24603984/ Tue, 05 May 2009 15:40:18 PDT Well, it is because no word expresses my anger more than the word "pissed".
It's a lovely word. Has more oomph than "mad" or "angry".
When you want to get the point across of how agitated you really are, the word "pissed" comes in handy.
Now, why am I pissed off?
Let me show you my annoyance...

So, many of you are probably aware that I did not pass my mandatory CPS Drivers Ed class in my sophomore year. It was a bad year for me and frankly I did not care about a lot of things. That class was one of them. Now, I don't have any desire to drive. It scares me. There, I said it. I have bad anxiety and it is not my driving that terrifies me. Nono. It is other people on the road who I cannot trust.
Now that that is out of the way, it is now the end of my senior year at my high school, and for some reason this Drivers Ed class is mandatory for me to graduate. Always has been.
Why? I don't know. It is completely ridiculous because not every teenager wants to drive.

For the past year and a half, I made it a priority to see our senior counselor at my school to inquire about my failure. Since I was unable to find a cheap Drivers Ed class somewhere else, my friend ~Cheinei and I decided to ask if we were able to just go to the DMV and take the test and get our permits/licenses since we are 18 now.
It was ok'd.
All 15 times I have spoken to this woman about this issue.
Now, if she had said something false, it should have been said in one of the many times I had talked to her. Not a word was said other than "Yes, you can take the written test and get your permit and everything will work out." The last time I asked her about this was probably 2 weeks prior to this catastrophe.

Apparently things have changed.
She claims she has never said any of that. What? I saw her at least 15 times for various reasons and each time I asked just to make sure.
She came up to ~Cheinei today in the hallway after school. She asked if she had taken her Drivers Ed class yet.
~Cheinei promptly responds with "I talked to you. I have my license. You said it was ok."
"Oh no no no. You need the classroom time and the hours. Come with me."
Upon hearing this, I instantly knew that this would become my problem as well since I am in the same situation.
Our counselor now claims that she never said any of that and that we have to miraculously get 30 hours of classroom time in less than a month. She hands us a sheet with various places to take the makeup classes for Drivers Ed. Wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that classes started LAST WEEK.

After arguing with a wall for 20 minutes, frustrated and angry, ~Cheinei and I alert our parents and go home.

This woman has the nerve to call my mom and tell her that she has never said any of that. Which is crap because if I hadn't gotten the OK for the permit test then I probably would have finished a Drivers Ed class by now.
Then she calls back and says that when she had said it she must have been mistaken and she is sorry. But I still have to take the class?
Yeah, uh, no. I REFUSE to take the class now because MULTIPLE TIMES we were told it was ok for us to just take the test.
What sucks is that ~Cheinei already has her license and cannot take the class and me being 18 makes me unable to find a class to teach me.

This sucks.

We called the principal. Apparently a memo came out on April 28th, stating that it was required that all CPS high school students who failed have to sign up for these makeup classes for Drivers Ed in order to graduate.
Uh, yeah. That is when the classes started.
How could they expect us to sign up immediately after hearing about this? What about the students who were not there that day? Most importantly, what about the students who thought it was ok to take the test and get their licenses or were told it was ok to do so?
If they wanted such a thing to go into effect, it should have started NEXT YEAR. Not a MONTH before school ends.

GOD, I am so frustrated right now.

Best case scenario: I get an OK to take the test from our principal and an apology for our counselor being stupid.
Worst case scenario: I don't graduate because of some ridiculous circumstances.

See, this is exactly why I went to her multiple times. To avoid crap like this from happening.

It reminded me a LOT of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, yanno with the cheesy lines and the sub-par acting. And the catchy songs that will be stuck in your head 'til FOREVER. -sings-

I want some Zydrate. Just to hang around my neck, though.

A pretty, painkilling glowstick.

The American Academy of Art is having it's welcome day tomorrow [which is Saturday [or today, depends on when you're reading this.

I'm kind of nervous, since I don't know many people going there. I found some people on this site, though.
One such person is ~xBillyxthexkidx9.
She's awesome. I can't wait to meet her in person.

[ps: go look at her pretty arts. ;__; ]

I kind of feel like a novice though. Like I don't deserve to be going there.

I feel like everyone around me is so much better at drawing than I am. Makes me feel like I took up the space of someone who should REALLY be going there.
My stuff is mindless scribbles compared to the works of some of the students that will be attending. D:
I hope I can improve, I just need to figure out how to start with realism.

I have yet to upload my life drawing piece from the Scholarship contest that they have. I'm quite proud of it, considering I have never done anything like that before. I think it turned out alright, but you'll have to judge that for yourself. :/

Aaaand to those who wanted to see my eyebrow piercing, I present to you a picture of it!

I really don't know why I feel so weird about it.
There's this other girl I found who uses it like I do and I feel like she's trying to be me o__o [even though that is probably FAR from the case]
Like it's MY alias and no one else's.
Which is, again, far from the case, because... well, coincidences and stuff.

Anyway, try and figure this out:
I made a comment on this YouTube video under the username DemonLuna: [link]
More specifically, it's on the fourth page.
Even MORE specifically, my comment was:
"Believe it or not, she lives next door to me.
She's awesome and her voice is beautiful. Shes hilarious, too! <3"
[to those who may ask, yes she really is my neighbor.]
I made that comment like a year ago.

Yeah, go to DemonLuna's profile: [link]
WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN
THAT IS NOT ME

Ok, completely possible that someone else can have the username.
BUT HOW THE FUCK DID I MAKE THAT COMMENT UNDER THAT USERNAME?

I distinctly remember signing up with that username in 2006, too, but I forgot my login information and made a new account
WTF?
AM I LOSING MY MIND HERE?
WHO IS THIS PERSON?

HALP.
I'M FREAKING OUT HERE.

Also, there's this: [link]
Which I'm pretty sure is the same person, judging by YouTube-DemonLuna's MySpace picture: [link]

I don't like not being the only DemonLuna ;_;
I feel like my identity was stolen

SO, I end with a question:
How would you feel if you found others who used the same [or a similar] online alias that you use?

EDIT: I'd also like to add something. I really like how when you search "DemonLuna" in Google Images [link] EVERYONE ELSES artwork comes up besides mine.

One is about me. The other one will be about [actually, it'll be answered by] Khloe and Eiros. It's to better understand the psychology of the characters.

Before I get to that, though, I am FOR SURE getting my eyebrow pierced on Wednesday. I am nervous as HELL, but I really want it. I'm hoping to have someone record it, so you can watch my anguish.

Now, onto the tags!
First, I shall do Raye's tagging thingy!

"Each tagged person must post 8 things about their self on their journal.
At the end, you have to choose and tag at least 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
No tag-backs."

1. I am afraid of the dark. Especially when it's together with silence. I always sleep with a light and my TV on, otherwise, well, I can't sleep.

Here's the funny thing, though: I love the nighttime. Try and figure that one out.

2. I have a list of "people who I am in love with and will someday marry". It's mostly made up on fictional characters. Who's on it? Zuko, Will Turner, The Spirit, David Cook, Jim Halpert, Robert Downy Jr., Neo, and Adam Lambert.

[notice how my boyfriend is not on the list. teehee!]

3. I have a memory of an event that never happened in my [current] life. It is of me walking through a forest in a misty rain. I can feel it and even smell the rain if I remember it enough. I have no idea what it is about, but the scene is so calm and I hope that one day I'll be able to return there.

4. I LOVE POKEMON. No matter what generation. I've always wanted to go on an adventure like you do in the games. So they're one of my faves. There. I said it.

5. I am terrified of growing up. I am so dependent on other people that once I'm out on my own I will literally kill myself with the anxiety. It's horrible. ;_;

6. In case you haven't seen from my drawings, I am easily influenced by other artists.

Some of my character designs are inspired by other characters, too. I'll do a journal one of these days showing what bits and pieces came from where.

7. I am a sucker for instrumental-like music. Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Corner Stone Cues, Lunar... Yup. I love it.

8. I don't really watch anime. I'm more of a manga reader. I like to read stories in their [mostly] unedited form.

I can't think of anyone who hasn't done this, so I'll guess:

and anyone else who wants to do this!

Aaaand now, take it away, Khloe and Eiros!

"Here are the rules:
1) Choose one of your own characters (OC).
2) Make them answer the following questions.
3) Then tag three people. (four people)
4) Feel free to add some questions of your own."

1) What gender are you?
Khloe: I'm a girl.
Eiros: Hmph. Male.

2) What is your age?
Khloe: I'm almost 20!
Eiros: I don't know old I am.

3) Do you want a hug?
Khloe: I like hugs.
Eiros: Feh, hugs. Yeah, try it. You can't do it. Not a lot of people can since I'm basically INVISIBLE.

4) Do you... ]]> *DemonLuna This was a triumph... http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/23925759/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/23925759/ Fri, 27 Mar 2009 22:27:31 PDT One of my Runaways books took upon itself to DESTROY itself.
The binding glue dried up or something and the COVER FELL OFF [along with some of the pages].

I'm sending it back to Amazon for giving me a shotty book.
The other books I ordered, as far as I know, are fine. So WTF?

So, enough of that.

I remember ten years ago, when I was 8, saying "I'll be 18 in TEN YEARS! That's a LONG TIME from now!"
Yeah, that seems like forever ago, but boy did it go by fast!

So, knowing I can legally purchase cigarettes now is making me want to.
I don't smoke. I probably never will.
I hate smoke. It would probably kill me if I smoked [due to my allergies and shortness-of-breath spells I get]
But I just want to.
Just knowing I can makes me want to.

Along with being 18, I am having a fun time calling Rob my "Jailbait Boyfriend".
It isn't true, since we're still within legal limits, but it's fun teasing him over the fact that he is still younger than I am.
I am kind of afraid I'll become one of those old ladies who harp over young guys.
What are they called? Cougars?
I'm thinking too much about silly stuff!

My Runaways books came yesterday.
The second series has such a different feeling than the first. It's kickass and I like it, but I think I enjoyed the first series more.
I can't wait to get the last books, though!
Maybe I'll force Rob to buy them. After all, he bought me 1 and 2. Why not buy me the last two books?

So, the Watchmen movie was amazingly awesome. It stayed SO CLOSE to the novel that I was amazed. I was mouthing the characters' lines before they even said them.
Honestly, it blew me away.
OH, and the change at the end definitely had me worried, but it actually turned out pretty good! It fit, to be honest.
And I'm sure a lot of people who have never read the novel would have been super confused with the original ending. At least this was more simple!

My birthday party was fun. Rob didn't fuck it up for once!
-sniff- I'm so proud.
He even got me Runaways volume 2.
He's gotten me hooked on that series that I just ordered 3, 4, and 5!
[ahh, the benefits of dating a comic book nerd. he also gave me his Watchmen trade, so yay!]
ALSO I had THE awesomest cake EVER.
It had Spongebob on it.
I'm totally turning 18.

I'm not sure how many people know this, but the Southside Chicago St. Patricks Day Parade was yesterday [Sunday]
It basically means it gives everyone [and I mean EVERYONE] a "reason" to drink and be stupid.
Yeah, I personally feel it needs to be canceled because this neighborhood has such a bad reputation of drinking/drinking related problems and that doesn't make it any better.
Anyway, a brawl between my cousins and this group [consisting of three dudes and two drunken whores] broke out on my front lawn.
It was hilarious.
It started because the two drunken whores decided to call my mom and her friend a couple of "fucking bitches". My mom's friend started following them calling them fatasses. And then one of the whores tried to punch her, but it was in super slo-mo that it totally missed.
OH, the actual fight broke out when one of the dudes called my cousins straw hat a sombrero. Don't even ask me why he attacked them because of that, just laugh at the stupidity.

The only good thing about Parade Day for my sister and I is that we use it as an excuse to wear excessive green and go get some Shamrock Shakes from McDonalds. I even brought my Link plushie with, 'cause he was TOTALLY representing some Irish pride.

It's kinda funny. The saying is "On parade day, everyone is Irish", but what's true most of the time is that while not-Irish people may ACT "Irish", the REAL Irish people stay inside and giggle at their drunkenness.

On that note, Happy St. Patricks Day!

So, we just got out of lunch and was sitting for a few minutes in our Animal Science classroom [which is located in our school's barn]. Our teacher [who is a veterinarian] isn't in the classroom, which doesn't seem that unusual considering she doesn't really show up until a few minutes after the bell rings.
Yeah, we're all sitting around when this woman pops in through the door.
"Is Dr. White here?"
All of us in the classroom tell her she isn't around.
"Oh, well, the horse just gave birth"

I have never seen so many people get up and run so fast.

We ran through the barn and out the back door, and lo and behold, Delilah [our horse] is standing there with a steaming foal on the ground.

WHAT?

Really, the scene was so unusual! It was like there was no labor or whatever. It just fell out.

So, everyone starts panicking because Dr. White is no where to be seen and we have a steaming foal outside in the cold air laying in a puddle of mud.
Yeah, we needed to get this horse inside.
Throughout the panic of us students who actually work [as the other half of the classroom just stands there and watches] someone found a large tarp, lifted the foal onto it, and dragged it inside. Again, through a growing crowd of people [the other half of the class and the farm visitors who saw Delilah crap out a baby] I suspect it was pretty difficult.
I, myself, was busy running with my dear friend ~XAnkokuRyuuX to go get fresh straw to lay down in the horse pen.
And that's what we did -is still picking straw out of her hair-

The whole thing was extremely unplanned because we had expected Delilah to give birth sometime this weekend... or even Monday!

But it was also extremely exhilarating. Especially the yelling and screaming of commands and then the sudden silence of everyone watching the two horses in the pen.

So, everyone, let's welcome this pretty girl into the world!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

DAMN YOU, THE 16th FOR BEING ON ONE OF MY MOST HATED DAYS! -shakes fist-

So, stuff to talk about.
I'm quite happy I have some trades in queue! Now I have a reason to draw.
I apologize in advanced if it takes a while. I always like to do my best and if it looks as though it'll be bad, I throw it away.

Oh, also, in case you haven't noticed, I've been pretty lazy on dA lately. If I don't get around to commenting/replying to you, I sincerely apologize. -glances at her 20+ messages-...
Also, if you get a reply like... 10 days later [] I apologize again.

-

I WANT TO SEE WATCHMEN, DAMMIT.
From the trailers I've seen, some of the scenes are shot in the exact angles of the comic book panels. IT LOOKS DAMN AMAZING.
ALSO, GIANT BLUE GLOWING PENIS = ME WANTING TO SEE IT EVEN MORE.

-

So, my boyfriend has this knack of showing me these horribly drawn comic books and making me cringe. One thing he showed me in particular is Rob Liefeld. Familiar with him? I'll be honest, that was the first I've heard of him. Basically he's this comic book artist who has some questionable work, yet is still being paid a TON of money.
What pissed me off the most were the following:

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? I haven't taken any kind of anatomy class and MY ANATOMY IS BETTER THAN THIS. WHERE THE FUCK ARE HER ORGANS?
Yeah, I know. Comic book does not equal real, but even cartoons keep a sense of reality in that. If this woman existed in real life, her top half would topple down due to her retardedly big tits.

WHAT? They look more OBESE than muscular. AND LOOK AT THE SECOND ONE'S LEGS. WHY AREN'T THEY SNAPPING UNDER ALL THAT WEIGHT?

Now, don't get me wrong. There are some good illustrations by this guy. But really, this guy is getting paid to draw and that is what he produces.
I'd fire him.
Srsly, stuff like the above is unacceptable.

So, due to this, I have come to this conclusion:
Either I work hard and do EXTREMELY WELL with drawing...
Or I don't take work seriously and I make work like that.
Because obviously I'd get paid either way.

[there are more bad pictures. just go here: [link]
and, in his defense, go to his main website. there are some good illustrations as well as bad ones.]

ANYWAY, ONTO THE FEATURE...

So, unlike the above examples, *dmcblooddevil knows what he's doing, both anatomy-wise...

...but he also knows how to create some awesome character designs...

...AND.
Devil Stinger is one badass character.
http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/23475537/ Sun, 01 Mar 2009 17:32:52 PST ].

FOR REAL, THIS TIME!

This way, it'll help me broaden whatever I draw AND it helps me to, well, draw more everyday.

Also, I kind of want to do Gaia commissions because the new item I am questing for is insanely high right now [damn you, Mercury's Moon!]

So... yeah... started requestin' and stuff. lol

Aaaand this is where I start my journal feature on an awesome deviant [who can either be my friend or just some awesome person who I stalk!]

So, ~foamazoid is pretty awesome. Not only can she can draw really great...

...she takes lovely pictures, as well!...

...but what I love most is that she is always looking to improve.
And it shows with her work!
So go check out her gallery.

...wow, I really got to improve on how to write these features up.
Sorry Foamy!

I'm thinking a little section at the bottom for featuring arts from my friends [and my favorite artists]

But what else?

I need ideas!

But srsly, it's a problem. If I don't get any idea, the journal-phantom will come and eat me in my sleep for not meeting his demands for spiffier things on this page.

I used `Lilyas's CSS codes found in her "Blue Fantasy" journal style. I just used different banners and moved a few things to align with them.

So I give credit to her for this awesome looking journal.
Sooner or later I'll find a place in the layout to give her proper credit, but since I suck I can't seem to do that right now, lol.

First, the original "Lady From My/Her Dreams":

Then, "The Doppelganger":

Oh well. Usually when I am sick I get these huge bursts of creative juices. Maybe I'll actually work on something worth your time, eh?

Anyway, I JUST started playing Final Fantasy IX [YEAH I KNOW I'M YEARS LATE SHOOT ME] and I am REALLY enjoying it so far. I've only gotten 2 hours into it, but uh... ... yeah.

ALSO.
DO YOU LIKE AWESOME TECHNO/TRANCE/ORCHESTRA-ISH MUSIC?
[link]
Lunar is AWESOME. Their music is AMAZING. AANNDDDDD... their albums are up for COMPLETE downloads on their website.

I am in LOVE.
They're going right next to DJ Tiesto, Taucher, DJ Encore, and Paul Oakenfold in my book of awesome techno artists.

SRSLY, even if you don't like techno/trance that much, give them a try. Their music is different.

THEY ARE AMAZING

So, I'm at school friday, and my mom sends me a message saying "I bought something for you."
And I'm like OMGYAY WHAT IS IT?

And she sends me a picture of a COCONUT.
I SHAT BRICKS I WAS EXCITED.

I've been wanting to crack open a coconut for a while now [I'm a dork]

So, we milk the coconut [lol] and then we proceeded to bash the hell out of it with a hammer. It was really fun.

And then we tried the milk.

...

BLECH. It was THE weirdest thing I have EVER tasted. It was kind of like buttered water... it was very strange!

Also, after the hammer bashing, the shell came off and the white exterior was... pinkish. WTF?
Is this normal?

TL;DR: My mom bought me a coconut. We opened it. It was weird.

]]> *DemonLuna 2008 - Art in Review http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/22810250/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/22810250/ Sun, 25 Jan 2009 18:33:02 PST I was inspired by another dA user's journal recapping her art from 2008.
She had her favorite, her least favorite, most improved, etc.
So I decided to do something similar!

2008 Favorite Overall
Spider-Man [link]
Why?: It's something different that I had never done before. I think it came out really well, too. Half a year later and I am still proud of it. Plus, it didn't take as long as it looks AND I had a blast doing it.

Most Fun to Do
In the Rain [link]
Why?: Thick lines, colored lines, cell shading, glowiness. It wasn't even anything serious but I really enjoyed doing it.

Most Irritating to Do
Dragons - Redone [link]
Why?: This was no contest. I may be happy with the outcome, but working on that was the most irritating thing ever. It started out on oekaki, then the oekaki wouldn't let me go back and work on it. So I had to bring it into Photoshop and gently cut and re-layer everything. It was horrible.

2008 Least Favorite
NiGHTS Colored [link]
Why?: I had the same problem as the Dragons picture. Oekaki kept messing up. This is actually the second version. First one I did DISA-FUCKING-PEARED off the oekaki [meaning that when I submitted it, IT WAS A BLANK BOX] So I redid it just to say I finished it. It was like a chore.

Most Improved
Spider-Man [link]
Why?: "Because of the coloring and the anatomy... you made it look smoother therefore he looks younger and smaller." according to ~Cheinei

Most Disappointing
THE DARK KNIGHT [link]
Why?: -gasp- I know, right? "Most Disappointed"? I could have done a LOT better on this. Batman's chin isn't smudged very well, no background, a lot of sharpness... I should have worked on tweaking it longer, but I didn't. Oh well, I'll save that for my next masterpiece.

Overrated
Avatar Meme [link]
Why?: Really!? This is the most viewed deviation in my gallery! It's not even a REAL deviation! It's a fucking MEME! WHY DOES IT HAVE SO MANY VIEWS? LOOK AT MY ACTUALLY AVATAR FANART IF YOU HAVE TO!

Underrated
The Wanderer [link]
Why?: I'm not sure. It's overshadowed by the amount of drawings I have in my gallery. I guess a lot of people don't like reading, eh?

The Strangest
On the Rooftop [link]
Why?: It's the weirdest style in my gallery. You guys should know me by now by the fact that I really have no "set in stone" style, this proves it. Maybe I should draw like this more often?

Winner of the "WTF?" Award
Hexadecimal - Quick Oekaki [link]
Why?: Don't even ask me what I was thinking when I drew this. It was a failed idea from the moment it started.

And there you have it.

]]> *DemonLuna The Pros and Cons to dating my comic book nerd http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/22335028/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/22335028/ Thu, 01 Jan 2009 14:45:25 PST

Anyway, Rob is idiotically sick, and I only say idiotically because he's... well, an idiot. His mom had food poisoning, and him and his dad blamed the wrong food. Rob ended up eating the REAL culprit... aaaand now he's idiotically sick.

So, while he is out of commission I've decided to present to you...
"The Pros and Cons to dating my comic book nerd"
[or "How my boyfriend is an idiot and sometimes forgets about me on New Comic Book Day"]

PROS
-I have been introduced to a new art style that I use to deem as "boring" and "overdone"
-I've also been reading new things I probably would have never touched [Watchmen, V for Vendetta -gasp! I know, I'm a sinner, lol-]
-Along with being introduced to new things, I also get addicted to the series I am introduced to! My nerd bought me Runaways Vol. 1 for Christmas and it is AMAZING. Highly recommended! [Also good is the Criminal Series and Y: The Last Man]
-I now wish to create my own style that would fit with the American comic book industry
-Aaaand I am now going to art school to become an illustrator [before, I wanted to do video game design, and before that I wanted to be a -shudder- mangaka. sorry, guys, I'm out of my "OMGANIMEISTHEGREATESTTHINGEVER" phase. anime may be interesting, but here on dA the style is overdone, and let's face it, I wasn't that good at it anyway, lmao [and neither are a lot of other people on this website. ]]

So there's the pros, and they're all very nice.
Now for the cons...

CONS
-I'm sometimes forced to see comic book movies that I don't want to see.
-Nerd is ALWAYS complaining about how bad the movie is if it was less than amazing.
-If I take too long reading a book, nerd complains and demands book back.
-If I say something negative about said book, nerd tries to counter it and prove me wrong, despite the fact that it is my opinion and almost nothing will change that.
-If I do not like art style of said book, nerd will try to counter this one, too. ["ITS CLASSIC!" no, it just sucks]
-Nerd makes me feel like a moron when I don't know something about something else
-Nerd also makes me feel like a moron when I DO know something and he insists on explaining it anyway
[Example: why Spider-Man can do whatever a spider can. WE ALL KNOW WHY]
-I am always second to the comic books on Wednesdays [new comic book day], which he dubs "The Happiest Day of the Week"
-On said day, I am sometimes forgotten

So there you have it folks, pros and cons.
Your experience may be [and I hope it is] better than mine.

Results may vary. !

Have a nice day, everyone!

[note: this journal is a result of being bored from lack of boyfriend and also from having nothing to write. also, there are a LOT of amazing anime artists on dA, its just that they are over shadowed by the thousands that suck at it [example: me. 8D. its partly the reason why I am changing my style to something original so the ones who ARE good at it can get credit for what they do.]

Yeah, don't ask why.
I just am. LMAO

[despite all the negative reviews for the movie, I really enjoyed it. but a warning to those who haven't seen it yet - it is far from a serious movie. Rob described it as a parody of the comic book [since, yanno, he's the comic book nerd]. it's funny and a little immature at times. hehehe, maybe that's why I liked it]

[PS: I'm happy Lolo again! ]

]]> *DemonLuna Why? I don't know... http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/22201470/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/22201470/ Thu, 25 Dec 2008 22:59:21 PST Also, I'm sick, so I am over emotional.

---

I'm not going to say this Christmas was bad, because it really wasn't.
I just... I don't know.

Ever since Thanksgiving I've tried my very hardest to feel even the slightest bit jolly. Christmas music, shopping, decorating.
In the end, there was nothing.

What happened to the Christmas joy I used to feel?
What happened to being excited?
Just.. what happened in general?

I don't know. I'd like to, but I don't.

It breaks my heart every year when this happens, because it's my favorite holiday, my favorite season, etc. Everyone comes together and everyone is happy, and of course it is amazing. I love it when everyone is happy.
But it doesn't feel right when Christmas doesn't feel very special anymore. It just feels like a regular day.
I try to make it feel special for me and for everyone around me. I really, really do try.

Is this part of growing up or something?
Losing these amazing feelings?

If it is, I don't want to grow up.

I suppose this is part where I can honestly say that I am terrified of growing up.
Absolutely fucking SCARED.
The thought of it makes me PANIC AND WORRY.
And yes, I realize that a lot of people my age are scared, too. But really, how many can honestly say that they are TERRIFIED?
I'll [hopefully] be in college this time next year. Yeah, I'm excited since it is an amazing school.
BUT FUCKING COLLEGE?!
Everything is happening too fast. I can't comprehend it all!! I can barely stop to enjoy what's left of my high school years!

Well, I seem to have gone from my original topic into something that is slightly different.
I've calmed down now.

I'll probably replace this entry with a happier one once I wake up and realize this makes no sense.

]]> *DemonLuna I'm kind of worried... [EDIT[ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/22097747/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/22097747/ Sun, 21 Dec 2008 21:41:52 PST [EDIT: HE BAKED ME A FUCKING REESES PIE. OMFG]

...I always get worried when Rob says "I'm working on something special."

I get even MORE worried when he also says "It's a surprise for you!"

And my worriedness goes past the limit when he says "It has something to do with peanuts."

My uncle invited one of best friends to come to our Thanksgiving dinner with us.
So he (Joey) invited his brother to join us, since he was coming home from overseas services.

However, his brother got caught up in the attack.
Literally.

He was taken hostage and wasn't able to come home.
But here's where it gets amazing.

Joey and his brothers grew up being rough with eachother, and Joey said himself that if anyone of them was taken hostage by anything, they would not cooperate with anyone.

So, that's what his brother did.
He planned with 20 other Americans caught up in the attack and took the opportunity that had come up and they all jumped out a window and ran away.

Basically, he escaped and saved 20 others with him.

This is the kind of thing that you don't hear on the news.

He didn't make it to our dinner, but he was on his way home, safe on a plane.

I never really understood what it was to be truly thankful.
But after seeing Joey so relieved and crying tears of happiness and worry, I think I understand.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

I might have posted before how he always puts his side of the family before, well, his main family (mom, me, and my sister).

Anyway, instead of a family reunion [yeah, like they need one of those, amirite?] they're planning on this BIG EXPENSIVE 7 DAY CRUISE IN MEXICO.

Now, the date isn't set until 2010, but I'll be a freshman/sophomore in college by that time.

And college is expensive. And important.

So, um, what would you pick if you had the choice?

Yeah, so, we [as in my mom and I] keep telling my dad that we really can NOT afford an expensive cruise, ESPECIALLY with college.

He put money down on it anyway.
GEE DAD, THANKS.

I really wouldn't have such a big problem with this if he didn't keep using ME as an excuse to work late!!
"College is around the corner, we need all the money we can."
"Lauren can't pay for college on her own, you know"

IF MY EDUCATION IS SO GOD DAMNED IMPORTANT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING PUTTING MONEY DOWN TO SPEND A WEEK IN A CABIN ON A FUCKING BOAT?
Maybe I just won't go to college! The cruise is SO much more important than my education, surely!
I'll just spend the rest of my life MOOCHING off of you, eating your food, living in your house, because you couldn't resist sitting on your ass in a chair in the middle of the god damned ocean.

Oh yeah, and to top it all off, he didn't even TELL my mom he did it until it was already done.

I honestly can not believe someone could be this conceded.
Wow... just... wow.

[again, I wouldn't have such a problem with this if he wasn't using me as an excuse to work late.]

I hope it rains for the entire week. ):<

No srsly.
The American Academy of Art had it's scholarship contest, where you're supposed to draw a still life portrait and a live model portrait.
Too bad I suck at both. lmao

The live model wasn't that bad. I'm very used to examining people, seeing how the body cooperates with itself.
But the still life...

...it had to be in color.

I'm not very good at using non-digital color mediums.
If it was all in regular pencil, I would have been fine with it. But all I had were colored pencils, so the portrait turned out looking like a 5th grade art project.

Oh, and apparently no one had a pencil sharpener, which I find stupid because CLEARLY I can see them sharpening pencils.
Yeah, I forgot mine. D:
So my orange and my blue (both of which were VERY common colors between the items) both DIED and I couldn't ressurect them through the power of sharpening.

Whatever, I already knew I wasn't going to win anyway.

I went for the experience.
Plus, I love the atmosphere of the school.

I should post some of the pictures I took. It's like an art gallery there, showing past students' work, even work that their previous students do now.
The school is quite abundant in Alex Ross artwork. Rob would CRAP himself if he visited. -thinks of this and laughs-

Oooohhh... there was this GORGEOUS boy there, too, who looked at me right when I walked in.
The best thing about it is that he looked similiar to Rob AND he was a kickass artist.
I was like "OMFGWANT"

But alas, I no get. :<
Oh well... I like being better at drawing than Rob, anyway.

I'd constantly be competing if I ever had a visually artistic boyfriend, which would result in some pretty nasty arguments.
Followed by makeup sex. And then a smoke.

Hahaha, just kidding.

I don't smoke.

I bet Rob wishes he was artistically gifted now.

Also, this...
"The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' And I'll look down, and whisper 'no.'"
...is an awesome quote.

Just saying.

Lolo likes the cold!

Lolo can't wait for snow!

Okay, enough of that.

Zomg, the emoticon thing has finally been FIXED. -celebrates-

Um, anyway, I suppose I should let you guys in on what's been going on.

So, I'm totally working on a... comic? story? I'm not sure yet, but the plot is being worked out in my head.

Anyway, it's basically a mixture of all my other ideas I've had so far.
It'll be starring Zan and Lolo [whose real name will be Khloe], and my other characters who haven't really been introduced here yet [Razz, Toan, Suuzo, Zeke]

Also, the spirit of the hat is... no longer in the hat, rofl.
I've thought about it, and there's no reason for him to be in the hat in the first place. But don't worry just yet, the hat will STILL be used.

Umm... what else. Oh, writing an original story is difficult, lol.
But it's coming along. I already have a few story arc's in the thought process right now.

Who knows, this just might work.
But everyone has to keep pestering me about it.

So... PESTER.

Nyahahaha, today at lunch was bad.

I was shifting through my purse looking for god knows what and I bumped into my phone.
To those who aren't familiar with my phone, it's an LG Chocolate 3 which has a front button on it. Anyway, the button on my phone is really sensitive so when I hit it the front screen lit up.

Right as the screen lit up, one of the school security guards was walking behind me and saw that it was on. He tapped me on the shoulder and wanted to take my phone.

I was like "AAAHHGG!!! NOOOO!!" 'cause... you know me and my bad luck with phones at my school.

So, he takes my phone and tells me to come with him. He takes me to the disciplinary office. And now I'm freaking out, because me, being the goody goody two-shoes that I am, I almost never get in trouble. No detentions, a tardy is rare, etc.
Luckily the first offense is just a warning, but he took my phone anyway.

The principal even called my dad saying I was caught "texting" [I was not!]

IT SUCKED.
BUT IT WAS FUNNY.
'Cause it was an accident.

Even if I did explain the situation with my purse, my phone still wasn't supposed to be on.

But now I has it back -hugs phone-

So... nyeh, just thought I'd share that.

How have you been?

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

Yeah!

We finally resolved the problem that made my computer non-internet-accessable.

We bought a new internet tower for me.

The old tower still works on my older computer, but it seems to have a grudge with my new one.

So, now I have these brand spanking new computer gadgets to go with my born again computer.

I had to get a 500 GB external harddrive to transfer all my files to. I also had to get a new wireless internet tower (obviously).
Oh, and to celebrate the awesomeness that is my computer, I installed the Sims 2 (which wouldn't work on my old one) and I also just bought Portal.

Yeah, I know. I'm late with Portal. But it was ten bucks at Best Buy and I couldn't resist.

So yeah!
I can go on Gaia again. To those who have accounts there, mine is KoboshiLolo.
Also, you can catch me on AIM under the same name.
I am ALWAYS online. I may not be at my computer, but I'll still be logged in.

So...
YAY!

]]> *DemonLuna The BEST Time of the Year! http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/21297865/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/21297865/ Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:25:09 PST
I woke up on November 1st and squealed, because the start of this month is officially my favorite time of the year.
The cold, the snow, the family get togethers, the fact that I get to see family and friends who I don't get to see very often, and giving gifts! I LOVE IT ALL.

It makes my heart all fluttery when I think of Thanksgiving!
We have this tradition every year:

It is ALWAYS at my house. My mom insists that it is her holiday [since it is her favorite] and she loves having it here.
My uncle comes in the day before and makes pies and cheesecakes and a big ham. The bread for the stuffing is ALL over the house, and we all use the dried out bread to make the stuffing together. Then the turkey goes in and, everyone hates this part, the smell of it enters everyones dreams and drives them crazy. We would do ANYTHING for a sneak peek of that turkey.
And every year, something goes wrong, but not in a bad way.
Two years ago, my uncle was packing up his cheesecake and half of it fell on the floor. It looked like a murder scene, but it was so funny because it made such a big "SPLAT" noise.

We all took pictures.

Anyway, I can't wait until snowball fights, ice skating [even though I can't do it], snuggling up warm with everyone, wearing hats and gloves and scarves, hot chocolate, putting up the christmas lights, listening to christmas music, watching christmas movies.
Oh, and mine and Rob's two year anniversary. That should be fun -sweatdrop-

So, people think I'm crazy when I say that the winter is my favorite season. WHO ELSE IS CRAZY? lol
What's your favorite time of the year? Do you have any crazy traditions like we do?
I love hearing this stuff.

Its just Lolo's face from my picture "In The Rain"
Kind of based on an idea that I had dropped from the picture, where her eye glowed.

And... that's about the only new thing right now.

Oh, and my school's fall festival is on friday.
So... yay.

]]> *DemonLuna The most interesting dream I've had recently http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/20696394/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/20696394/ Fri, 26 Sep 2008 22:50:00 PDT
It was so interesting and not-so-random like my other dreams, and it has become my new favorite dream...
[yeah, I have favorite dreams, lmao]

Anyway, I had this field next to my house, and we had a party going on.
It was thunderstorming and in the middle of the night.

Rob is chasing me through the field, and we're both having fun.
Suddenly I stop in my tracks and I can't move a muscle. My hair starts to stand on the end.
A lightning bolt hits me, directly underneath my right breast, and shoots down all the way to my right foot.
I fall down, burned, and I can hear Rob screaming behind me.
"OH MY GOD!!! LAUREN!!"

He runs up to me, kneels down, picks me up, and starts craddling my while trying not to cry, as if it was his fault I got hit.
I'm going in and out of conciousness.

Rob then gets up, and runs back to my house to get help and to call 911. Other people from the party run up to me.

As if my spirit separated from my body, I can see my twitching, shocked body laying on the ground.

A medical helicopter lands, and the medics grab my body and bring it into the chopper.
But I stopped them from taking off.
"Please... I don't want to leave without him..."

Rob runs back, and jumps into the chopper, and sits next to my body.
Both the medics and Rob try to fix me, but unfortunately... I die.

Seeing how upset everyone else is, I decide to visit everyone individually.
But it wasn't like I was a ghost. They could physically see me and talk to me.
I could even show them the scars and damaged flesh where I was hit.

So, after all the visiting, I wake up in real life and eventually fall back asleep.
But things from the previous dream carry on into my next one.
Like the large scar under my right breast, and how it looked exactly like the one in the other dream.

It is quite interesting, and I looked up all the key points: lightning, being hit with it, helicopter, and dying.
They all said the same thing: I'm changing.

Veeeery interesting...

I just thought I'd share.

]]> *DemonLuna RIP Toonami [and my childhood] http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/20626096/ http://DemonLuna.deviantart.com/journal/20626096/ Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:18:59 PDT

I actually want to cry, simply because... well this is going to sound lame, but Toonami turned me into who I am today.

I never would have witnessed anime or regular shonen action shows if it werent for my religiously watching Toonami.
Hell, I probably couldn't even DRAW if not for Toonami.
My first "good" pictures were of Sailor Moon, and Goku, and Tenchi Muyo.
They were basically what inspired me to draw. And to improve in drawing.
I owe everything to this simple block of amazing animations. It certainly played a MASSIVE role in my childhood.
[also, I would probably be an "omgDisneyChannelFan!!1!!" if it were not for Toonami showing me a different, and a more amazing side, of animation and television]

I will admit that it was kind of disappointing in the last few years, with less and less decently dubbed anime being played [and the robot dude who was named TOM but clearly wasnt THE TOM]. But I am still saddened that it is no more.

Damn, I remember watching it when MOLTAR hosted it.
Yeah, I'm a fossil. :B
But srsly.

Some of my fondest memories of Toonami...
-All my friends going crazy over Sailor Moon, and me being obsessed with it and having to watch it EVERYDAY.
-When the Absolution was invaded, and TOM 1 died and was instantly replaced with the cooler-looking, not so chubby TOM 2.
-FUCKING REBOOT. God, I love that show!
-The Night of New Years EVIL. IT WAS GREAT. STFU.

-Staying up really late [as in like... 11 [stfu again, I was young! I STRUGGLED to stay up that late!]] to watch Midnight Run
-The DBZ Buu Saga[s]. I LOVED THEM.
-Being EXCITED AS HELL for the new series of Pokemon and watching it during the Rising Sun! [Orange Island/Jhoto Journey]
-Samurai Jack. Nothing more needs to be said.
-Making great friends through this block [as silly as that may sound]

So, farewell Toonami.
While much of the newer generation know you for Naruto, One Piece, Ben 10, and Bo-Bobo
I will always remember you for Moltar, TOM 1 and 2, Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo, Reboot, classic DBZ, and making my childhood very very memorable.
-salutes-

[ps: I meant to do a feature in this journal, but my grief over my childhood was much too strong. first 9 people who comment here get featured in my feature.

And the worst thing is that it pops up while I'm writing a comment!
I was writing "wow this is great, and I like how you can see an orb in your hand!"

AND BECAUSE OF THE STUPID AD [and the CONSTANT refreshing of them!] it turned out like THIS:

"ww this s great, nd I like hw yu can s n orb in ur hand!"

ASDSHFDSHFJDSAF!!

And no!! I'm not getting a subscripion to get rid of the ads!! Those kind of ads shouldnt even be allowed! They're annoying and high inconvenient, ESPECIALLY if they pop up right when someone clicks on the place where they show up.

Oh, and to top off my irritation: MY IS TABLET BROKEN.
-sobs-
No more decent looking digital art from me until I get a new one [which will be forever since my dad keeps buying useless shit and we don't have enough money for anything else D:< ]

This is where commissions come in.
I need money so I can buy a medium sized BambooFun tablet.
It's around $200.
I need prices for art, because I have no clue what to price my stuff as. I don't want to be too expensive, or too cheap that it'll take forever to save up.

SO, UH, HELP PLZ FOR A COMMISSION NOOB?

HEARTBREAK.

My cliche fangirly crush on Will Turner has turned into heartbreak once more.

THE END OF THE MOVIE.
I sobbed.

I've seen the movie before, so wtf.

Yeah yeah yeah. I'm pathetic.
At least I can come out and truthfully say that I HAVE A CRUSH ON WILL TURNER AND I ADMIT THAT I AM PATHETIC.

AND SOMETIMES I WISH MY BOYFRIEND WAS LIKE HIM.

WAIT, WHUT?? UHHH, I MEAN...

Don't tell him I said that. lmao

(this journal was a result of absolutely nothing happening in my life. and also my cliche fangirly crush on will turner.

So, to break in my now video-making hobby, I decided to, well, make a video.

Kind of.

I found a lot of really nice pictures [lol] and set them to one of the most awesome songs ever [more lol]

So, if you want a glimpse at the life of me, my friends, and my family, go check it out!

It's called Unflattering Lollypops! [link]
