                <description><![CDATA[ I'm here in Columbus, have been the past 3 weeks. School is a bitch, but I'm enjoying it, and trying to get shit done. Hopefully I can make it past all these bullshit mandatory classes and get to the good stuff in Sophomore year.<br /><br />Anyways, I've decided to stop using Deviantart. These days, it seems to be just people posting Death Note and Naruto fanart. And all the good people have blogs and sites where they post their stuff at, and just stay here for the e-glory.<br /><br />So I might drop in from time to time to check on people's pages, but I can just go to their blogs and sites, amirite?<br /><br />I'll be updating at my new art blog, <a href="http://notsonimbleknees.blogspot.com">[link]</a><br /><br />I'll be posting there when I can find a damn scanner.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Bonjour. Mon nom est Ekori. Je prÃ©fÃ¨re dessiner. FranÃ§ais est difficile.<br /><br />I picked up My French Coach, well, more like ordered it, for my DS. It starts out with numbers, then days of the week, months, then onto the basic structures of sentences.<br /><br />I'm at toddler now. I can count to 10, say all the days of the week (Aujourdhui est Lundi), months, and I'm picking up on masculine and feminine words.<br /><br />If you have a DS and want to learn some French. GET IT. It makes the learning process so much easier.<br /><br />I can say though, that knowing how to speak some german, the french is a bit hard. Everyone says French is a smooth language. You have to use your throat for alot of the words, as their Rs are really silent and throatish.<br /><br />But it's fun, and I like saying the words when I practice. Aujhordhui is my favorite, it means Today.<br /><br />DEMAIN EST MARDI.<br /><br />Also, BLIZZARD WORLDWIDE INVITATIONAL IN 3 WEEKS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS<br /><br />Going with <a href="http://uriu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/u/r/uriu.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconuriu:" title="uriu"/></a> It's gonna be a blast.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Blargh, I need to get around to drawing some more real life stuff. I have 2 more people drawings (curse you girls) and then 2 landscapes.<br /><br />I started working at the shoppette here, it's like a convenience store for the military people. $8.96 an hour. I don't see why they couldn't add in the other 4 cents, but hey, I got a bucket full of change sitting in my closet.<br /><br />35 hours a week, I only get 2 days off. Every shift starts at 8am. I work in the warehouse, if you want to call it that. It's more of a small room that has some stuff they put into the store. I don't see how all that stuff out on the shelves came out of that itty bitty room.<br /><br />Anyways, it's a decently easy job. It's a bit physically demanding, lifting boxes day in and day out. But on those non shipping days, I'm mostly hanging out in the fridge room stocking the drinks into the doors.<br /><br />The Blizzard Worldwide Invitational is in 3 months. Hopefully I get paid in time to buy myself a ticket. ~<a class="u" href="http://uriu.deviantart.com/">Uriu</a> is going with me, since he'll be in Germany for a few weeks this summer. We were going to drive, but decided on flying since it would most likely save us money, time, and more money. $117 round trip isn't bad, and the flight is only an hour.<br /><br />I did research because I take comfort in knowing things. I found a hotel that's a good 20 minute walk from the convention, 15 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower, and 30 minute walk to The Louvre. I was impressed at myself for finding such an awesome place.<br /><br />I'm semi worried about getting mugged though. I was talking to Melissa one day about it, and said I should wear tight pants to avoid getting pickpocketed.<br /><br />She said I won't get mugged, just raped. I came to the conclusion that wearing tight pants would be asking for a rape, in which she replied,<br /><br />"rape rape rape".<br /><br />ANYWAYS NOW I'M LEAVING TO GO TO WORK FOR MY SHIFT YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND I'LL TRY TO DRAW SOME STUFF.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I thought I had started reading this manga awhile back, but I picked it up again yesterday and I like it.<br />
<br />
The sports mangas always hook me in for some reason. Even though I hate sports! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mad.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":x" title=":x (Mad)" /><br />
<br />
Anyways, the mangaka really knows how to draw. The style is really neat.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So Thanksgiving was a hearty meal, pigged out. I didn't gain any weight, but I wasn't expecting myself to anyways.<br />
<br />
Aaaaaaand the day after it, my mom gets us to get Christmas ornaments out. I always hate this part of the year, mainly because there's so much crap going on and I really don't feel like spending time out in the cold hanging up lights.<br />
<br />
Atleast we're not as bad as the people across the street who have had their stuff up since early November and have 2 christmas trees.<br />
<br />
<br />
Drawing is harder for me these days. I can't think of anything to draw, and I guess I'm alright with it.<br />
<br />
Usually around this time of year I get a bit more creative. It might be because my mom drags us to castles and markets and whatnot.<br />
<br />
I could go for some Christmas wine. They should start selling it anytime now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've decided that since I can't seem to find a way to really start off my Black Roots story, and since there was really no story to begin with, I'd make a new one.<br />
<br />
Enoch and Redlin will still be in this one. I'm not gonna trash them just because the stor sucked.<br />
<br />
This new one is kind of cliche, but I think I can pull it off. Sadly, Enoch and Redlin won't be the main characters, but they will show up frequently.<br />
<br />
By the way, this all came from a dream I had last night. Very entertaining, slightly weird, all around good.<br />
<br />
I don't know how I'm going to pull off the beginning without making it original. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mad.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":x" title=":x (Mad)" /><br />
<br />
--------------------------------------<br />
<br />
And I'm all set to apply for CCAD. Portfolio is finished, but I might tweak it some more with this new stuff I'm thinking up, replace some of the fan art I stuck in there.<br />
<br />
FAFSA is on it's way to getting approved, and my essay is all finished too.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just got done reading a VERY good manga. 167 chapters of pure perverted goodness. Plus it's a love story, so that's a plus too.<br />
<br />
I could've sworn the artist would've been a guy, but it was a girl! She draws her girls extremely well, and the way she had Manaka thinking over each girl was a plus.<br />
<br />
Good story, very good art, and since I'm a sap for the romance/comedy mangas, it's top shelf in my book.<br />
<br />
I think the only problem I had was at the end, they all could've looked a bit older. The only ones who looked different were Sotomura's sister and Manaka, but that's only because she grew her hair out, and he bulked up a bit. She could've made their faces a bit longer to show they matured.<br />
<br />
Being stuck with the same face from middle school to high school must've been WEIRD.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm glad to say I was one of the first people in the world to pick up this book and read it in a day. It's a shame that such a good series is ending.<br />
<br />
The book is ALOT more darker then the rest, and the killing starts early, I should say.<br />
<br />
I'm going to be drawing some HP fanart, because I can.<br />
<br />
I'm going to TRY not to give away spoilers.<br />
<br />
If such a drawing does have spoilers in it, I'll be sure to let you know.<br />
<br />
BTW, since I'm a nut for lovey dovey stuff, I will be drawing some HarryxGinny pics.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Because redheads are hot.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm tired of all these people drawing the same stuff over and over again. Like Kingdom Hearts and Naruto stuff over and over again. It's one thing to draw your own characters over and over, because they're yours and original. But the people who get featured on the main page with all the AXELxROXAS crap is just plain annoying.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Jet lag, college-related stress, a few friend problems.<br />

And then to top it all off, someone put salt in the sugar bowl.<br />

I mean seriously, who puts salt in a bowl clearly labeled 'Sugar'?<br />

You push a button, and blocks stack. As you keep stacking, the blocks get less and less, and they move faster.<br />

I got to the VERY LAST BLOCK before I won a Wii, and I missed by one block.<br />

<br />
I'll be back the 29th.<br />
<br />
And I got a cold, which sucks.<br />
<br />
That's the bad news.<br />
<br />
The good news I got most of my stuff to apply for college. I just need to get my letter from the teacher I asked to write it, and then finish my portfolio, and then take those damn SATs.<br />
<br />
So I'll try to draw some things while I'm being forced to visit people and places I don't care to see.<br />

Later.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

get it?<br />
<br />
also, due to the fact that I have a horrible artist's block, there will be only 1 drawing put up this month.<br />
<br />
Uriu and I have concluded that getting 3 complete drawings a month is too much, so we're settling on just 2.<br />
<br />
Try to find something for myself to draw is hard for me right now. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ~<a class="u" href="http://uriu.deviantart.com/">Uriu</a> and I have decided on upping up our art submissions. We've decided on doing 3 drawings a month, and they have to be colored and finished before the end of the month.<br />
<br />
We can draw them whenever, color them whenever, but they have to be done by the end of the month. And since it's the beginning of the month, we better get cracking.<br />
<br />
He'll probably push out more then I will, seeing as how he's in the process of making a new character, and I'm stuck in a block.<br />
<br />
So, to help my block, I've just been reading some mangas. I've started reading D. Grey Man, but it's alittle bit of a pain to have to download chapter after chapter. So, I'm only on Chapter 2 right now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been busy these past 2 weeks. ~<a class="u" href="http://uriu.deviantart.com/">Uriu</a> came back from college for New Years, so its just been a bunch of us hanging out, being retarded. He leaves tomorrow, and I'm alittle bummed, because I have to go back to my old schedule of sitting around, doing nothing.<br />
<br />
I need to start working on my portfolio again, because I'm getting some of the things I need to apply ready for college.<br />
<br />
I want to get into college so bad. For these reasons:<br />
<br />
1) I get to draw in all sorts of media and improve my art.<br />
2) Hang out with Uriu whenever I can.<br />
3) Get the hell away from my family and live life the way I want to.<br />
<br />
Everybody says that I will miss them after awhile. I might, I don't know. I don't get many chances to stay up or sleep in, and I don't get much privacy.<br />
<br />
It might not be the same in college if I get an invasive roommate who likes to borrow my clothes or come in when I'm sleeping to play video games or steal my laptop and download massive amounts of porn.<br />
<br />
Not that theres porn already on it...  <.<   >.><br />
<br />
....<br />
<br />
Anyways, expect a few things coming down the artsy pipeline as I force myself to sit down and poop out work for my portfolio.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I got an XBOX 360, a printer/scanner, and a digital camera along other stuff for Christmas. I haven't really used my scanner and camera yet, but the 360 has been used to its fullness already. 2 XBOX Live accounts (my brother's we've used for the past year, and mine, which I made the other day) are on it, along with my 2 movies, and a buttload of demos. I've been working Oblivion to the bone to get points so I can buy movies. I got Jackass: The Movie and The Matrix (they were cheap <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />) so far, and I'm saving up for Nacho Libre, which I haven't seen yet. I got Oblivion, Kameo, and Gears of War. Theres some other 360 games my brother has, but I don't care to play them.<br />
<br />
The most addictive thing about the 360 is the ability to share files with the computers on your network and watch them on the TV. It was fairly simple to pull off my 800+ songs on my desktop and super fun to listen to The Shins during an extreme Battlefield 2 XBOX Live match.<br />
<br />
BTW, people need to start filtering kids from buying the hardcore games. I hate having to hear little pixie voiced preteens whining about how they don't have enough chicken fries to go along with their super burgers. But it is also fairly fun to get in a heated argument about how much they suck at games. Heres one as follows:<br />
<br />
Kid: Why did you teamkill me?<br />
Me: Because you blocked me. Durr durr durrrr.<br />
Kid: Well then stop firing when I'm moving.<br />
Me: I'll pump you so full of lead you'll be using your d*ck as a pencil.<br />
Kid: I'm 10 times the player you are.<br />
(I teamkill him again.)<br />
Kid: WHAT THE F***!!<br />
Me: el-oh-eeeellllllllllll.<br />
(Kid leaves, I laugh.)<br />
<br />
I'm such a jerk.<br />
<br />
Anyways, have a Happy New Years!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /><br />
<br />

BTW, to catch my jerkiness on XBOX Live, add me as a friend as GintamaBomb. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've gone 24 hours today without World of Warcraft. I'm not saying I'm addicted (which I'm not), but its Tuesday, which means maintenance/patch day, and they're shoving in the last content patch before The Burning Crusade. Like I said, I'm only saying this is because I've never been so bored today. Maintenance has literally been going on ALL DAY. I've used all of this time to watch Granma's Boy (not really all that funny), draw something I'll scan and put up later on in the day (1am here), and I've gone through a box of Cheezits and a package of Saltine Crackers with Peanut Butter. I also watched Jay Leno, The Colbert Report, and Conan O'Brien. I've been doing stuff all day to try to keep myself from going insane. I've played maybe 5 XBOX games, and immediately got bored playing them.<br />
<br />
Theres one thing about WoW that none of the other games I got have. Sure, shooting games you can go online and talk to people, but theres no conversations. Just shooting. In WoW, I can have conversations with people and not have to worry about dying (much). Plus, this patch has a bunch of new things that make my Hunter even more annoying to other classes. Mwahahahaa!!<br />
<br />
And I want to get my Warlock to 60 before expansion. So I have a month and 11 days to do that. And I know I can.<br />
<br />
The meaning of this journal?<br />
<br />
It gets boring when you have NOTHING to do. WoW fills that nothing. Atleast I won't play as much around Christmas/Chanukkah. Beheheheee.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I went to the movies today, to go see Jackass 2. A bunch of people from the school were there. I remembered all their faces, but I couldn't remember their names. I spent almost everyday with these people, and I couldn't remember their names. One girl I've known for maybe 2 years and couldn't remember her name. It wasn't until maybe 15 minutes later that I remembered her name after going through the T names. I was kind of worried about the whole deal, because I'm usually good with remembering people. Especially people I've known for almost 3 years.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't want to draw, I don't want to play games, I don't want to write. Theres absoltely NOTHING I want to do around here. Theres nothing TO do. Its just the same thing day after day after day. I'm just about to explode from how much waiting I have to do till a bunch of my friends come over to visit for New Years. The only thing I can really do to entertain myself is watch Death Note on Youtube.<br />
<br />
Youtube. You are my savior. Death Note, How I Met Your Mother, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and many other various shows that I can't watch over here.<br />
<br />
Atleast the brits on the CounterStrike server manage to keep my hopes up by tellin me to drop by and grab a beer. They make me and my friend Nathan laugh by cursing like madmen. "Bloody Wanker!" Always makes us laugh.<br />
<br />
They're seriously improving my british accent. I've almost got it "spot on, spot on". Maybe I should start working on my Russian accent. Maybe that will keep me entertained.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Well hello there Mr. No Life, you are a tool.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you were one of those people who waited in line for something that costs $600, you are officially lower then the people who waited for Star Wars and Halo 2. Be like the rest of us, and wait a year until the price goes down.<br />
<br />
OR.<br />
<br />
Go for the Wii. Its cheaper, smaller, and IT WILL DELIVER LIKE ME SHOWING UP IN YOUR MAILBOX TO KICK YOU IN THE NUTS FOR BUYING THE PS3.<br />
<br />
People are way too materialistic these days. The only things I've really asked for for Chanukkah and Christmas is Guitar Hero, WoW: Burning Crusade, and a few books. My mom might have gotten me a few other things, but I'm not really needing anything anymore.<br />
<br />
But BC comes out almost a month after Christmas. So I get to wait.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I also have quite a snot building up too. I sneezed, and I'm pretty sure a big blast of it smacked somewhere on the ground, because there was a giant goopy glob on the floor. Oh, the imagery is lovely. I'm making some tea as I write, so hopefully I will feel alittle better. Some Nyquil will probably help too.<br />
<br />
My older brother and his wife had their kid last night. A baby girl, 9 pounds. My mom woke me up calling me Uncle Frank*. Took me awhile to comprehend what she was implying, and got super excited when I figured it out.<br />
<br />
Sooo, thats about it.<br />
<br />
Have fun.<br />

Edit: You wanna know whats incredibly lame? Online Television. Like the Adult Swim thing where you can watch FULL EPISODES of the shows. CBS has something similar, and I wanted to watch the new How I Met Your Mother. But noooooooooooooooooo, its only available IN THE STATES. Booooooo. Youtube has everything, but its in Crap-o-Vision.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm at 6%.<br />

Good thing its tuesday, and its maintenance. I already know my PvP stats for this week, so I can hold off playing for another...<br />
<br />
32 hours?<br />
<br />
I'm thinking of just shutting this mofo down and downloading it onto my PC. That son of a church has a faster download speed. I'm going to do that now. But then I lose 114MBs I've already downloaded, and how am I going to get it to my laptop? HAHAHAHA....<br />

*goes insane*<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ You know all this stuff about cookie monster not eating cookies anymore, tag banned from schools, and whatnot? All the things we loved growing up are being taken away for this next generation of kids. You know what the problem is?<br />
<br />
Moms.<br />
<br />
Thats right. MOMS.<br />
<br />
The moms that always go around "thinking about the children" when all they are are a bunch of loudmouths.<br />
<br />
"My son fell into a devastating depression because he has one leg, and can't tag anybody at tag."<br />
<br />
I think the point of tag is to not be "it". This kid needs to find a way to not become "it", so he can be happy and limp around like everybody else.<br />
<br />
"Cookie Monster eats cookies all the time, and I don't think thats a good thing."<br />
<br />
By taking away cookies from Cookie Monster, you've taken away his identity. Now, we should just refer to him as "Monster", seeing how he has nothing left in his world. Shame on you Sesame Street.<br />
<br />
Jim Henson is rolling in his grave right now.<br />
<br />
The coffin echoes. "Leave the blue one alone!!"<br />
<br />
On another note. If Steve Irwin wasn't such a badass and pulled the stingray barb out of his heart, he could have lived. The guy who got stabbed in the heart by another freak (but strategically placed) stingray didn't pull it out, and hes fine and dandy.<br />
<br />
I still think the animal world is starting to become more aware of the human presence on Earth and they are causing an uprising, what with the Stingray Gankings and the Bird Flu.<br />
<br />
<br />
Note to self: In life, if anybody destroys a childhood moment, they're getting a 4-Finger Sting Slap across the eyes.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I decided to use my money wisely and renew my Norton Antivirus on my PC, which had expired a week ago. I renew it, do a system scan, and one of the files can't be removed. I try several times, but alas, no prevail. So I go on the net, and look around and people are saying "Oh, you should do this, and this." Only problem is the stuff they're doing is all in the MS-DOS program, and its all coding. So I was like (pardon my french) FUCK THAT, and contacted Norton. They have me pay $69.95 so they can use their fancy tools and take control of my computer, and download all this fancy crap that DOESN'T WORK. Took them 5 fucking hours just to do JACK SHIT. So I use one of their programs to just fucking delete the g-ddamn folder, and its done. I can't get a refund either.<br />
<br />
GRRRRRRRR.<br />
<br />
And I'm pretty sure those Indians were Role-Playing. How do I know they're from India? Simple. THEY'RE ADDRESS NAMES WHEN THEY NEEDED TO CONNECT. Like Naga_Bhusamdsjjjjdmfdfsfad@norton.india.sdlfkdsgkfwhateverthefuckitis. They were role-playing, because they're names were GHAUTHOM (pronounce it), JOKER, GRNLNTRN, WNDRWOMAN. I mean come on.<br />
<br />
Well, atleast I don't have to worry about updating my laptop till December 1st.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I think that when it first starts to get below 40, and its icey, I might go down to Rothenburg, a walled town. I went there last year for a German trip (see December 8th, 2005 journal about how OK it was). I hope to see more than just the town square, and maybe even go back to the Jewish bakery. Mmmmmmmm, German pastries...<br />
<br />
I've had an urge to go some place that smells like a fire burning, and grabbing a cup (or a jug, lol) of honey wine or maybe some hot tea. Like a castle trip. Alot of the castle hotels close in the winter (like the castle I visited at Creative Connections, see March 3rd, 2005 journal), so I might not be able to do that.<br />
<br />
If I spend my money wisely (*giggle snort*), i should be able to sustain myself if I took a train and booked a hotel for maybe 2 days, and have shopping money. My mom owes me $100, $150 next week. Don't give me lectures about "she pays for your food and puts a roof over your head" and crap, she told me if I watched my sister and cleaned, I'd get paid. So BLAH.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I'm taking some of my first steps into applying to college. I filled out the FAFSA to where I can get grants and/or scholarships. Then once I'm in I can start applying to the colleges I've chosen. Columbus College of Art and Design is one, as well as Western Kentucky Univeristy, and Full Sail. CCAD and WKY are really close to my friends, seeing as how <a href="http://uriu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/u/r/uriu.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="uriu" /></a> goes to CCAD and my friend Melissa goes to WKY.<br />
<br />
The FAFSA won't be done till Tuesday though, seeing as how I lack a printing printer, and its Sunday, and tomorrow's a holiday. Plus my mom needs to sign it too, so once she signs I can mail it. Hopefully I'll be lucky like Uriu and get a scholarship from the portfolio I have to send in. That alongside a grant I might get will help alot. I don't want to end up oweing tons of money to the bank.<br />
<br />
Oh, that reminds me. If some of the people who actually look at my stuff and frequently comment, pick out some of the things I've drawn (except for the fanart and stupid things). I might shove in a few of my Ninjew stuff, seeing as how I do all of that stuff from scratch just about, and it shows my photomanipulation skills. (Kinda).<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It got really hot in my room last night, so I decided to open my window for the night. Being the retard that I am, and it being hot, I wore shorts to bed. Woke up with an extremely stuffy nose, sinus headache, and a scritchy throat. I'm not feeling any better now, seeing as how my temp is alittle under 100 (99.2). Its supposed to rain all week, and be below the 60s, so tomorrow I'm headin up to by some sweatpants and some more socks. Maybe even a PJ long sleeved shirt I could wear. Expect something digital either tonight or tomorrow. I'm looking into bootlegging Corel Paint (you didn't hear that), so I'm gonna be testing that out. Drawing things is getting easier for me, so I'm gonna start working on my Photoshop skills too. Maybe with the entrance of Corel Painter my drawings will take on alittle more life.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ The past few days have just been like every other day. Waking up at 7:30 and watching my sister and cleaning until my brother gets home. Then getting online and play games or talk to friends. I'm thinking of getting a Subbing job over at the high school once my mom quits her job, which she said will be in November. Atleast that way I can get out of the house every now and then and get to see my friends that still go to school.<br />
<br />
I sent in an essay for a $3,000 scholarship 2 weeks ago. Sadly, I didn't get anything from it. I'm really bummed about this, because I thought it was written really well. But I better get crackin on some more scholarships. One is for $100,000, but its one of those ones where if you win a spot, you get shipped to Washington D.C. to be in a competition. Even if I did get that far, I think the prize would be $30,000. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
But I'm not sure if I should go to an art college. They all cost alot.<br />
<br />
One of my fish had babies last night. They're really ugly, and it makes me sad.<br />
<br />
And I just realized theres a list thing below the journals.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ kk, so I go to a different post to get some things. I got some more drawing paper, fresh pack of No. 2 and Mech pencils, brand new gummy eraser, some tracing paper (for the art I'm trying to clean up), and a BRAND NEW CLIPBOARD.<br />
<br />
*goes into a corner and whispers, "Yessss...."*<br />
<br />
So I was like, "Hey, I should buy some colored pencils."<br />
<br />
Crayons, Glitter Crayons, Glow in the Dark Crayons, Highliter Crayons, 453905820935 Colored Crayons, Markers, Small Markers, Big Markers, Scented Markers.<br />
<br />
WHERE THE HELL WERE THE COLORED PENCILS.<br />
<br />
Alas, no store in a 5-mile radius had colored pencils. It was awfully sad. They don't even sell colored pencils at our PX.<br />
<br />
/cry<br />
<br />
And they didn't even have Guitar Hero.<br />
<br />
/wrist<br />
<br />
So I scrounged up $50 and bought some RAM for my PC. I get home, try to put it in, and its the wrong size. My PC needs DDR2 3200, and the stick was DDR 3200. So I go up to the PX and get a refund, and go to where they have the RAM at. THEY DON'T SELL ANY OF THE RAM FOR ALL THE COMPUTERS THEY SELL THERE.<br />
<br />
So quite frankly, I was bummed out.<br />
<br />
No Colored Pencils, No Guitar Hero, No faster PC.<br />
<br />
I did get some new fish so my one fish won't be lonely.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I shaved Thursday, now its Sunday, and the hair on my face is already back to where it was. I hate this.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The fun thing about staying at home doing nothing is well, just that. I'm getting paid $50 a week to clean and watch my baby sister. Which means I sit around all day playing WoW, feeding and watching my sister, then cleaning up a bit. Its actually alot easier then it sounds. I'm going to be upgrading my desktop computer pretty soon, starting out with a new monitor. The one I have now is taking up WAAAY too much room on my desk. A plasma one will take up maybe 1/100ths of the one I have now, which I've had since maybe 1998. Then more RAM, then a new graphics card. Woot woot.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm thinking of going into writing as a career. It allows me to sit around and just WRITE. I'm going to see if I can take online English courses and also some introduction to writing or whatever. My writing always seems to go into way too much detail, so I'm trying to slim it down to just basic facts and whatnot.<br />
<br />
Plus my desktop handles my tablet software better then my laptop. SCORE.<br />
<br />
Over. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm making a Flash animation now that I have a tablet, and it makes it ALOT easier now. Theres a few problems in the animation so far. The animation and subtitles are set in tune with the song. And when I try to see if the animation is going well, the song starts, but then the animation is maybe 2-3 seconds behind where its supposed to be. And I still need to make a loading bar and the play and replay buttons, and I suck at that coding junk. I find tutorials, and they end up not working in the end. I know how to do tweens, I made it onion skinned so its easier to do, and I know how to do a bunch of other things. Its just the music, the animation, and the buttons. Someone give me something that will make it so the song and animation are in sync. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes, it is sad, and true. Steve Irwin was stung early Monday morning by a Stingray, the sting was jabbed into his heart. He was swimming in a reef off the coast of Australia. Its kind of hard to belive he died. Hes possibly the only man everyone thought was invincible. He wrestled crocs, tangoed with snakes, and various other deadly animals. I think everyone who grew up in the 90s and had access to Animal Planet loved him alot. Even when he became popular, he was loved and admired as "that goofy australian guy who wrestles crocs like crocodile dundee". If he had gotten stung in his foot or his arm, it would've been ok. But his heart? Thats the one place you don't want the poison to go to.<br />
<br />
He will be missed dearly.<br />
<br />
He died at the age of 44, leaving behind a wife, and 2 kids. His son, 3, and his daughter, 8. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am happy to say that I will be getting a tablet of my own within the next week or so. I've scrounged up enough money to buy one from an electronics store here in town. I earned the money by painstakingly getting someone's router and computer to stop messing around and let them connect to the internet. Which basically meant I was paid 40 euros to enable someone's LAN port, lol.<br />
<br />
"Thats all? Wow, that was fast. You must be good."<br />
<br />
"I'm self taught."<br />
<br />
I sorta have a photographic memory and can remember alot of things if I see them once, so I once I saw something I needed help with when I got DSL, then it just kind of started to work together and whatever.<br />
<br />
I got money and a close friend to come with me Friday, so, I'm happy. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is what I do when I wake up early like today. Which I hate doing.<br />
<br />
1) Make coffee.<br />
<br />
2) Shove coffee down the oral orifice and pull my cheek muscles up to form a smile to enjoy the orgasmic wonder that is caffeine.<br />
<br />
3) Pull out my laptop.<br />
<br />
4) I have a different webcomic schedule for different days.<br />
<br />
Monday-Wednesday-Friday: White Ninja Comics : <a href="http://whiteninjacomics.com">[link]</a> , Megatokyo : <a href="http://megatokyo.com">[link]</a> , and Penny Arcade : <a href="http://penny-arcade.com">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Monday thru Friday: Questionable Content : <a href="http://questionablecontent.net">[link]</a> and Scary Go Round : <a href="http://scarygoround.com">[link]</a><br />
<br />
5) Then I have something else if I'm doing something that day.<br />
<br />
Plan A: Going somewhere) Get cracking on doing chores and get dressed, and wait until appointed time.<br />
<br />
Plan B: Doing nothing) Do chores half-assedly and sit down.<br />
<br />
6) To which I play World of Warcraft, Halo, Guild Wars (haha, yeah right), Counter Strike, or Warrock.<br />
<br />
I guess thats what I do on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
But soon it will be: <br />
<br />
7) Sit down on my laptop and do online courses so I have atleast somewhat of a life. ]]></description>
