                <description><![CDATA[ Wednesday night, my mother, sister, boyfriend, and I went into downtown Portland to see The Phantom of the Opera at the Keller Auditorium.<br /><br />It.<br /><br />Was.<br /><br />Phenominal.<br /><br /><br />If you love Phantom, and you ever have the opportunity to see it live...DO IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. IT'S AMAZING. Dear God, it is amazing!!! The woman who played Christine was an amazing soprano, and Raoul was very shmexii. Lemme tell you, I'd tap that.<br /><br />But oh man, that phantom was...oh gawds...-drools- I mean, the whole being disfigured from birth thing is kinda distracting if you don't have the mask to cover it, but he's very seductive. -purr-<br />:3<br /><br />Anyway, school's coming up again, and I'm very excited! Although my sister and I both have the same social studies teacher, which is kinda funny...or not...depends on your point of view I suppose. ^-^<br /><br />So, I suppose I will see you peeps later!<br /><br />Oh, P.S. Kumoricon is coming up soon, so I'm pretty excited about that, too!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so on Wednesday night, I went to see 'Corteo' (the latest Cirque du Soleil show) with my mum, sister, aunt, cousin, and their friends (yay for girls' night out!) It was so cool!!! I mean, you don't even know (or maybe you do...) but it was just incredible. The entire show was basically a funeral for a clown, but instead of mourning, they were celebrating his life. It was so amazing. Plus, most of the dancers were foreign, which was very sexy. XD<br /><br />Now, the bad news: I've been sick for the entire break. I know, right? Of all the times to fall ill, it's during Spring vacation. But, whatever. Though I might not make it to school tomorrow, which sucks - I love school.<br /><br />Yep, I'm a geek - oh well.<br /><br /><br />Oh, I also joined Second Life over break. I made a few new friends, which was cool. I was in the noob area (since, well, I'm A NOOB!) and I was talking with other noobs. There was one girl there who I said hello to, and she said hi back. Then I said this really long sentence, and she goes, 'I don't speak English...' Her name was Japanese, so I started a conversation in Japanese with her. So we talked back and forth like that for a while, which was cool. Practicing with native speakers - can't get much better than that. ^_^<br /><br />Well, I'm still sick, so I'm gonna go lay down. Nighty-night, peeps!<br /><br /><3Kat<3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sunday was the most amazing day of my entire life.<br />
<br />
Many of you know that the fifth annual Kumoricon was held this weekend in Vancouver, WA. I had a blast and saw many people there that I recognized -<br />
Some A/M club members ~ <a href="http://shiroikaze.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/h/shiroikaze.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconshiroikaze:" title="shiroikaze"/></a> (She cosplayed as an Ouran Host Club member - it was totally adorable!!!), <a href="http://sesshomarulove.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/sesshomarulove.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsesshomarulove:" title="sesshomarulove"/></a> and <a href="http://anime-otakuu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anime-otakuu.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconanime-otakuu:" title="anime-otakuu"/></a> (I saw these two helping out - God bless them!), as well as Scarlet, Amanda, Buddha, and I believe I saw Shachou at one point...I also saw <a href="http://rikkugrape.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/i/rikkugrape.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconrikkugrape:" title="rikkugrape"/></a> and :iconAn-Gee-Lahh: with Petra; <a href="http://serikaarenai.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/serikaarenai.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconserikaarenai:" title="serikaarenai"/></a> with <a href="http://nazuna-chan.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/a/nazuna-chan.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnazuna-chan:" title="nazuna-chan"/></a>, <a href="http://masume.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/a/masume.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmasume:" title="masume"/></a> and <a href="http://albino-music.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/albino-music.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconalbino-music:" title="albino-music"/></a>. I went with my friend Maddie.<br />
<br />
Highlights of Saturday - I saw 4 people cosplaying the Sanzo-ikkou, got a hug from a Ryuuichi, and we went to the Random Panel of Doom, where this kid solved a Rubik's cube in 1 minute 26 seconds, which was incredible!!!<br />
<br />
So anyways, back to Sunday. The second annual fangirl support group lasted for about three hours, and we actually had a squeeing competition - with encouragement!!! The room was divided in half - whichever half was louder won. For our motivation, we had two guys stand in the front of the room.<br />
<br />
They were in cosplay as Yuki and Shuuichi from Gravitation. And the room was almost completely full of yaoi fangirls. So for motivation, we got to watch them kiss...*drools incessantly* And then later, Maddie and I got to hug them!!! ^_^ It was so COOL!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
And then, as if that weren't great enough, that night we went to the Open Mic karaoke. So the same Ryuuichi I got to hug the day before was there, and five of us - him included - went up to be backup dancers for this one guy doing 'Vanilla' by Gackt. So about a minute into the song, he like walks over to me and starts, like, almost freak dancing in front of me, and I was like, "OH MY FREAKING GAWD!!!" and my inner fangirl squeed with joy.<br />
<br />
Even the sucky masquerade couldn't bring me down after THAT. XD<br />
<br />
I can't wait 'till next year!!!<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Went to Wallowa Lake last week. Anyone who had Lierman this year for science will appreciate the fact that his information about Northwestern geology played on repeat in the back of my mind for the whole trip. XD<br />
<br />
On another note, I left the day Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released. We picked up two copies on the way to Pendleton - one each for my sister and I.<br />
<br />
I finished the thing in EIGHT FREAKING HOURS. And damn, but it was amazing!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm tired as crap. Nighty-nights.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My first order of business: <a href="http://serikaarenai.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/serikaarenai.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconserikaarenai:" title="serikaarenai"/></a> tagged me, so here I go!<br />
<br />
1) A weird thing about me is that I'm weird. (Does that count? Too bad, it does now.)<br />
2) I am very opinionated, but at the same time, my opinions contradict each other slightly.<br />
3) I can actually be VERY shy at times. (Shocking, isn't it?)<br />
4) I am not embarrassed by my parents. ^_^<br />
5) I can quote movies, television, books, and other things at the drop of a hat.<br />
6) When I hear the word ' pudding', I laugh really hard.<br />
<br />
<br />
The rules:<br />
"The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours..."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Second order of business: anyone want to do a preconcert solo with me this year? I have a few ideas in mind, but they require at least a few people...let me know if you're interested at all. I miss getting together and having our little music practice parties like old times. ^_^ (Holy crap, I sound like an old person...) XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm having an interesting personal life right now.<br />
<br />
-School is ending, and I couldn't be sadder. This has been the best school year for me EVER thus far - and it went by the fastest. I feel like I blinked, and the whole year just passed me by.<br />
<br />
-My parents are very stressed out over my sister; we just found out that she has bipolar disorder (or manic depression, whatever you wanna call it.) And boy, are her symptoms BAD.<br />
<br />
-I don't want to grow up.<br />
<br />
But on a lighter note, my friends and I made Cavelles - <a href="http://omg-kittens.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/m/omg-kittens.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconomg-kittens:" title="omg-kittens"/></a> <a href="http://ember-snow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/m/ember-snow.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconember-snow:" title="ember-snow"/></a> <a href="http://angeelahh.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/angeelahh.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconangeelahh:" title="angeelahh"/></a> (I think, anyway...Angie, you made it, right?!

                <description><![CDATA[ Going on this week in the world of Kat:<br />
<br />
<br />
-Cavelles/A-Choir auditions (for everyone who is auditioning, which should be EVERYONE here that goes to CHS, because you are all very talented singers: good luck! You're all going to kick @$$!!!)<br />
-Voice lessons<br />
-Japanese family project due<br />
-finishing remainder of genocide PSA projects in world history<br />
<br />
<br />
This weekend, I have been so down in the dumps. One year ago, I finished a fanfic that I posted on fanfiction.net, right? Up until Saturday, I'd never gotten a single flame. But let me tell you, I finally got one - and it did NOT feel very good. I know I still have a very long way to go as a writer, despite the progress I've made since sixth grade. But this particular pic has a huge piece of my soul in it - I literally put all of my energy into writing it. And when all of my mistakes were thrown back in my face with a note that says, "Where do I begin? This fic is TERRIBLE," (no joke, that's actually how the review started out), it was a really humbling experience, to put it mildly. This single comment was enough to cancel out every positive remark I'd ever received, and all I've thought about for the past fourty-eight hours is this note.<br />
<br />
I appreciate it when people take the time to thoughtfully critique me, I really do. But even though I tell everyone that I've got thick enough skin to ignore hurtful things, that's not really true. I always say that if someone I don't know starts being rude to me, I don't give a rip - their opinions don't matter. But unfortunately, I'm one of those people that has to please EVERYONE - so I get beaten down pretty easily. I'm not as strong as I pretend to be; inside, I'm actually quite weak.<br />
<br />
Like I said, I appreciate all advice I receive. But not in such a harsh way. I kept berating myself when I replied, willing myself not to burst into tears. Heck, I THANKED the person for telling me what needed work. Maybe I'm just being a b*tchy drama queen about the whole thing, but forcing yourself not to cry and thanking someone for crushing your feelings isn't the hottest feeling in the world.<br />
<br />
Well, whatever. I go back to school tomorrow, so it's all good.<br />
<br />
Oyasumi.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ OMG This weekend I saw 300 w/ my friend Allie. HOLY CRAP THAT MOVIE IS TOTALLY FRICKIN AWESOME!!!<br />
<br />
My dad took us. So there were a few parts that were...unexpected...at least from me. So I'm sitting there with my dad on my right side while two people are going at it, and then again later on when these two Persian chicks start making out, and then there's like this frickin' orgy or something, I'm not really sure what...O.o'<br />
<br />
BUT IT WAS STILL THE BOMB!!! I'm sitting in the back row resisting the urge to scream, "YEAH SPARTA'S GONNA KICK ASS!!!" Because ya know, the battle of Thermopolyae was the greatest battle ever fought; 300 Spartans held off an army of 1 million Persians until the rest of the Greek army came in and kicked ass.<br />
<br />
Oh, and there's another bonus: the guys had their shirts off for the entire thing. And holy crap, they were like sex on legs, baby. I'm sitting in the back row drooling, thinking, "I BOW BEFORE TEH SHMEXYNESS!!!" Ooh, especially this one soldier that looked like Matt from Trivium.<br />
<br />
Imagine how pissed Allie and I were when some Persian bastard came in and took off his head. T_T That really sucked.<br />
<br />
But yeah, that movie was AMAZING.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been almost two years since I told my boyfriend I liked him. But lately, I'm beginning to question myself. I DID like him 'that' way for a long time, I really did. But now I'm so upset with myself. I'm coming to think that more than anything I think he's just a very good friend of mine. Part of me will always love him, but...gah, I don't know. Maybe it's a phase. But it's been getting worse and worse lately in my mind. I don't want to pretend to feel something if I don't really feel it, but I don't know if I could live with myself if breaking up hurts him. And I don't even know if breaking up is really what I want to do.<br />
I'm just confuzzled is all. Don't mind me. And for all the peeps that go to school with me...please, keep this on the down-low. ^-^'<br />
<br />
<br />
On a lighter note, I got a haircut. And I've been listening to Demetri Martin all day - hah, that guy's a RIOT. There's this one thing he does with Will Forte from SNL, who's singing random noises and words between jokes; in order to get my favorite part, you need to know these jokes first:<br />
<br />
1) Demetri: I don't own a poncho, but if someone asks, "Do you own a poncho?" I don't say no. I say not right now. But I do have a blanket and some scissors. At any minute I am two minutes away from a poncho...or eleven scarves...it just depends on how I cut it.<br />
2) Demetri: When something good happens to me, I wait two weeks before telling anyone, because I like to use the word 'fortnight.'<br />
3) Demetri: I'm going to open a store called 'The Chasm.' It's going to be just like the GAP - except WAY bigger.<br />
<br />
Okay, so my favorite part goes like this:<br />
<br />
Demetri: I'm afraid of sharks...but only in a water situation. If I saw a shark on the street I'd be like, 'What?'...'F-ck you!'...which is like the opposite of how I am with lions.<br />
<br />
Will Forte: F-ck you, f-ckin' sharks, FORTNIGHT!!! Ponchos, chasms, other previous jokes, fortnight...fortnight!<br />
<br />
You're probably all like, 'WTF?!' But if you hear the way Will Forte does it, it's the funniest thing EVER!!!!!<br />
<br />
Meh, I'm done for now. l8rz.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, lemme get one thing straight: I am a beta reader. I LOOOOOOVE my job, because for once, being a grammar freak has its advantages (besides getting excellent scores for correct punctuation use on essays.) All I'm saying is that I've got a lot of peeps to beta for, so my deviations may be updated a little slower due to any projects I may have at any given time.<br />
Lemme think...I beta for:<br />
-Maddie<br />
-Serina<br />
-Crmy<br />
-Mediale<br />
-Elena<br />
and I'm currently working on a gravi fanfic with Rose...so I'm kinda jam-packed right now...my deviations will take a while to find their way here for a while...sumi masen if that disappoints anyone!<br />
<br />
Holy crud, I'm a spaz: I fell on the way to the bus stop this morning. I can barely walk because I scraped my knee so bad; my mum thought I might have needed stitches. Thank god for your brain's natural opiates - they work REALLY well if you've gotten a bad injury. The problem is, they only really work for a short period of time. So  about five minutes after I actually fell, it was like my nervess suddenly woke up, and I yelled, "Holy JEEZ!!!" at the top of my lungs.<br />
Hey, the bonus side of this is that I don't have to do the mile run tomorrow.<br />
But I'll have to make it up...dang it...-mutters under her breath-<br />
<br />
ja matta ne!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My first post on this account was depressing and emo like nobody's business. So to all who this concerns, I'd like to make my thoughts truly known on the matter. It's not fair to anyone to keep the truth hidden. So here I go:<br />
Christina~^-^ I think I'm gonna cry...don't worry, they're happy tears. -huggles you- Please, don't be worried about me, if I scared you. I was having a bad day. And really, it's mostly my own fault - I was the one that withdrew, not you peeps. You were always kind to me. And I went on a rant for something that wasn't your fault. For this, I'm so sorry. I love that you all get along so well, though! I draw a lot too (but you probably figured that out already! XD) <br />
At Gina M.'s party, I'm glad I helped you feel better. But really, I was so mad at myself for not realizing sooner that you were hurting. And knowing that I get carried away a lot when I'm around my friends, I'd told myself to keep my hyperactivity in check and make sure I didn't just ignore people. But I felt like I'd let you down. Ever since then, I've been worried about you - not obsessively, or in a stalker-ish manner, of course. ^-^' But I always try to be there for you. You say I'm a blessing - but really, Christina, you are one of MY blessings. You are pure of heart and know how to bring my spirits up. I love you much, dearie.<br />
Serika~I'm so glad we've started talking again. I truly did miss your company, more than you know. Really, I have to get this out in the open - and wait until I explain myself. When I'm done, you can say 'WTF?!' as much as you'd like. Really, I can't believe I got upset over something so little, but I guess I'm kinda -duh- like that...O.o'<br />
Well, not to sound like a suck-up or anything, but...all of you peeps, like Angie, Gina, Christina, Anna, Kristen...the whole lot of ya; you are probably the coolest people I know. I always feel like I'm in Wayne's World and I need to start bowing and saying, "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!!!" That's seriously how cool I think you peeps are. And you remember how you used to say otakus were like annoying or whatever? (I can't remember exactly what you said, so forgive me if I'm wrong!) Well, it's been proven that I am an otaku. It's as plain as the nose on my face - I just am. Well, I really worry about making people frustrated or mad or upset, so...I thought I was being too annoying because whenever I was around you, I'd think, "Okay, Kat, whatever you do, don't act like an otaku, damn it!!!" But really, that's the only reason I sort of withdrew - I thought I'd annoyed you. I apologize for reading you wrong. Next time, I won't jump to conclusions. As for now, though, I'm glad we're getting to be closer friends again.<br />
Angie and Gina: You peeps are so awesome. You two are like the embodiment of uber-ness to me (yes, that's a very good thing in my world...), and I miss you both a lot. I'm sorry if I've seemed unusually cold lately - high school has made me a little more shy. I hope we can bridge this gap that's formed and get to be as close as we once were.<br />
Anna: Girl, you are totally great. You're kind and sweet, and you're an all-around easy person to get along with. I'm so happy we've been friends for so long. I'm also glad that we have choir together - your enthusiasm for singing inspires me. You're like a sister to me. You love animals and the environment - you're pure at heart. I can't imagine what my life would be like without you in it.<br />
-pants for breath- I've kept all that inside for so long. I feel better now. ^-^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

[x] You nearly always smile. (I try to, anyways.)<br />
[x] You try to make people happy. (Yes...although I tend to take it to the extreme. For example, when my uncle died, I tried not to cry because I worried too much about helping the rest of my family stay strong. A lot of times, I become weary and exhausted from it...)<br />
[x] You respect your parents. (Not just them; I try to respect all my elders. But of course I respect my parents; I love them and trust that they know what's best for me.)<br />

[x] You have been called naive.<br />

[x] You get depressed by the evening news. (Not depressed, but it's saddening.)<br />
[ ] You can´t watch scary movies. (I can stomach almost anything; the problem with 'horror films' nowadays is that their plots are so unoriginal, so it kinda takes away from the overall appeal of the movie.)<br />

<br />
[x] You cry too when someone cries next to you. (Depends, but a lot of times, yeah.)<br />
[x] You like books with pictures in it. (Yes, sometimes.)<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Oh my gosh, I've finally been tagged! With...something!!! ^-^ I got tagged by <a href="http://evaevita.deviantart.com/">[link]</a> EvaEvita, and the rule is to list 6 weird habits/things about yourself in your next journal entry, and then tag five more people. So, here I go!<br />
<br />
1) I think that I have multiple personalities (though they are not prominent.)<br />
2) I have a weird thing about people handling knives, fire, and other potentially dangerous objects...especially in the kitchen...<br />
3) I have a nonexistent attention span.<br />
4) I am known to lust after fictional characters...O.o'<br />
5) I have weird bouts of focus, which are rare and spaced rather far apart...the most recent one was today, when I managed to NOT get distracted by things that I enjoy doing, and I actually CLEANED MY ROOM. They are random moments of clarity where I can focus on the task at hand.<br />
6) I love the punk/gothic/rocker style of music and clothing/overall appearance, but even though I hate a lot of pop, I secretly still listen to some. (I wish I could understand the words, though...I've taken a liking to Japanese pop/rock...)<br />
<br />
Okay, now I tag the following people:<br />
<a href="http://www.ember-snow.deviantart.com">[link]</a> Ember-snow<br />
<a href="http://www.serikaarenai.deviantart.com">[link]</a> SerikaArenai<br />

Note: I wish I could tag more peeps, so please don't be mad if I didn't tag you - ME SO SORRY!!!!! -sob-<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Kurisumasu omedetou (Merry Christmas)!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh dear, I feel a rant coming on...look out!!! XD<br />
<br />
Okay, has anyone else here gotten absolutely SICK of political correctness? (Trust me, it DOES relate to Christmas.) I'll be the first to say that I don't like offending people. But for the love of ALL THINGS HOLY. We've gone TOO FAR. I'm fine if you disagree with me, but seriously, I believe that this whole thing has become some sort of mass conspiracy to oppress Christianity. Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration...but seriously, hasn't anyone else noticed this? In order to 'respect diversity,' we've gone from Christmas break to Winter vacation...oh, and I don't know about you, but has anyone else here heard people say 'Holiday tree' instead of 'Christmas tree'?! I mean, at this rate, they'll outlaw Christmas carols!!!<br />
No offense to anyone who doesn't celebrate - don't get me wrong, I'm fine with whatever you choose to do. But celebrating Christmas isn't 'oppressing' other religions.<br />
<br />
Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANNUKAH (well, Hannukah's nearly over...so Happy Belated Hannukah!), HAPPY KWAANZA, AND WHATEVER THE HECK ELSE YOU PEEPS CHOOSE TO OR NOT TO DO.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ ~If all the world had a friend...~<br /><br />Hey. Well, I can officially say that my last journal entry was me at my angstiest. But I won't say it's untrue - it's just been a while since I've poured stuff out lie that.<br />
<br />
Fari-sensei, I am glad you liked 'Guraspa' - thank you for the advice on her ear, too; originally, her ear was proportionate, but something got lost in translation! XD<br />
<br />
I'd just like to say, I didn't mean to scare anyone; I'm not going to go slit my wrists or overdose on my depression medication (because not only would I lose my life, but the second option would be extremely ironic). XD I was just having a bad day...er, night. And my feelings weren't directed at anyone in particular; they'd been accumulating for quite some time.<br />
<br />
Also, however heartless I made my parents seem, I regret that immensely. I didn't want it to come out like that. I love my parents with all of my heart, and without them, I would have probably been held back. I love them unconditionally; they support me and give me strength, and they are the best parents anyone could ever ask for.<br />
<br />
Serika:<br />
<br />
You have no idea how wonderful it was to talk to you after so long. I don't know why I've been so shy lately, but I deluded myself into thinking that you didn't need me around - god, that came out sounding waaaay too selfish for my liking!!! I don't mean it in a narcissistic way; I just mean that I have been blind. I've missed you a lot too; you were one of my best friends in middle school. And I really want it to stay that way. It makes me so relieved to know that you and I have gone through similar emotions; I don't feel nearly as upset as I did last night. You are a wonderful person, and our friendship is one of the best I've ever had. I don't want you to be a third-wheel when you're around me, because to me you're so much more than that. You're like a sister to me; I don't want my foolishness to blind me any longer, and I hope to see more and more of you as we continue to grow. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br />
<br />
Fari-sensei:<br />
<br />
Whoever said that whole thing about you smoking pot is about to have their rear end beaten into submission.<br />
<br />
I had no idea you were going through some of the same emotions I was. You hid it very well; you always seem so alive and confident, and you're fun to be around. I admire your brilliance - and that is not a joke. You claim you act so stupid that it's funny, and you ARE hilarious! But you are in no way stupid. You possess a careful nature of balance between reality and fantsy, and I can honestly say that since I've gotten to know you, the term 'Sensei' has spread far beyond your artistic abilities. You are a person to be admired and looked up to, because you possess wisdom beyond your years.<br />
...But as for the yaoi thing, eheh...well, about that...sometimes I go bonkers. The vast majority of the day is spent thinking about other things, but on the bus...oh dear...that's all I can say. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" />.o: But thank you, that is very reassuring to know that I don't look like some of the other obssessive fangirls out there.<br />
<br />
To everyone:<br />
I love you all, and I hope you never forget that. Regardless of our past and our future together, I treasure your presences in my life, and I would not trade you for anything in the world. And I hope that you realize this.<br /><br />~...what a wonderful world this would be~ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ~Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone~<br /><br />I'm lacking in inspiration lately. More recently I've drawn - and photoshopped - a girl who has a taste for Japanese pop/rock; her shirt says, 'gurasupa!' in katakana*. All of the Gravi fans should know who that is...and if they don't, then I'll give you a hint: "Na no da!" or "La li ho!" Take your pick.<br />
I've hit writer's block. Oh my Buddha.<br />
My boyfriend is on the other side of the country right now; all my friends are at winter formal. I didn't buy tickets in time. Oh well, I'm not pissed or anything; actually, I haven't been to any one of my school's dances this year. I wonder what they're like?<br />
There's an anime/manga club Christmas party - or for the politically correct people out there, 'Holiday party' - at my school this Tuesday. The people in the club are nice overall; my friends, definitely, are nice; the council members are kind, too. And Shacho...well, Shacho likes Rurouni Kenshin. A LOT. Consider the following analogy:<br />
<br />
Yaoi:Kat; Kenshin:Shacho.<br />
<br />
Yeah. He likes it THAT MUCH.<br />
...<br />
Meh, whatever floats his boat.<br />
Anyway, back on topic here. I don't know why, but for some strange reason, I've felt really out of touch with my friends, and very self-conscious. I used to be confident in myself; and now, this year, I find myself constantly shying away from some of the greatest friends I've ever had.<br />
And I don't understand what brought about this sudden change in me; I don't sit with my friends during the anime/manga club meetings, because I find myself constantly feeling unworthy of their attention. I feel like, if I were to go sit and talk with them, I would be a waste of their precious space. My friends are truly amazing people, all of them are; they are talented in many ways, and share a common passion for anime/manga style art.<br />
But unlike me, they manage to talk about anime without sounding like a weird freak without a life. And every meeting, I look over and see them laughing and having fun, and they're usually drawing. And as lonely as I can sometimes feel, I never gather enough courage to even say hi, let alone sit by them; because I think myself enough of an annoyance as it is. I don't want to interrupt the only time they may have away from my obsessive behavior. And despite what they all say - that my art is good - and despite the fact that everyone has their own distinct style, I don't think that I can ever measure up to be good enough for them.<br />
<br />
All these people around me are so wonderful - and I always feel like I'm the outcast that brings the whole group down. I have ADD like nobody's business, and it makes my short-term memory horrid. My parents have worked so hard to help me...but time and time again, I only seem to let them down. I'm beginning to think they've lost faith in me; my dad told me the other night that they were trying; they want me to be successful, they want me to make it, they want me to graduate. But the graduate one sounded almost desperate; am I so hopeless that even now, I cannot find the strength within myself to keep going forward? It seems that writing is the one way I can express myself truthfully.<br />
<br />
But then again, I no longer feel the weights of sorrow lifting off of me.<br />
