                <description><![CDATA[ I've had a lot of thoughts the past couple of days, mostly reflecting on all the mistakes I've made in the past. <br />
I won't get into it too deeply, as this is my DA page and not an angst-ridden LJ, but I'll say as much as, I wish I could somehow patch over the harsh feelings some people may have left for me, and start over being friends again.<br />
<br />
But I know, it's like...I can approach and hold out hands in friendship, and then the ball's in their court after that, as my boyfriend would put it. So if they never talk to me again, even after that, then there's nothing I can do about it. Which saddens me, because I want to believe there's SOMEthing I can do about it. I'm a pretty absent-minded person too, and I forget things easily if I don't write them down, so sometimes I wonder if people made an attempt at counter-starting-over, but I just forgot somewhere along the line, like their phone number or home adress. <br />
<br />
Which of course makes me feel even WORSE, but y'know how it goes >.< ]]></description>

I missed their panel so I was like 'meeh, ok so I missed my chance to meet them" and I was all well and ok with that. But lo and behold, whom do I see when I walkin but WENDY PINI HERSELF. AAAHHHHHHHHH.<br />
She came up to me and goes "Yun!" and then shook my hand and I'm just sitting there like a brainless mass going "n'durrr" and giggling like a moron >.<<br />
<br />
I swore to myself ages ago that if I ever met someone famous I'd be a calm and composed person but there I went and turned incoherent and totally passed up the chance to talk with the the person partially responsible for me drawing ;_; <br />
<br />
*headdesk*<br />
<br />
Here's a link to the costume I wore, if anyone is interested in seeing it<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Why does everything I do turn out mediocre? My art, my sewing, my story-writing...everything I do doesn't stand out one OUNCE. I've lived under the 'as long as I have fun doing it' for so long, now it's like...I want someone to notice *something* I do and it be unique and respected for it's own greatness.<br />
Yes, I want to do something great. Call me an attention whore? I don't care, but I want the self-assurance that yes, I too can do something awsome and unique, that I have the capability to do it and am not just some poor sap poser who keeps striving for something they were not predestined to have. <br />
<br />
No, I have not gone to school for my art. Everything I have here is stuff I've done by teaching myself. (except for the computer coloring, that was a tutorial I snagged online)<br />
<br />
I don't have the money for school, or adobe photoshop (I use a genked version of PSP 8), or a tablet, or supplies...do I have to have money to do something great? Or am I just destined to be the person who always comes in third to last? I don't want to best anyone, I don't want to compare myself to anyone, I just want to stand out and be unique and, yes many of you will hate me for saying this, noticed. I want to do a piece of art people want to come back and look at over and over again. <br />
<br />
Instead I'm saddled with an art style that people hate. I've tried changing my style, doing things differently, but it still is rather hateable. Hell, *I* hate my art style. My legs are too long, or I draw them too slender without enough curves, or this or that or GAHHH. My colors are sloppy or they don't fit the lines or they're too harsh or not shaded enough...it's like I try something different and something's still wrong. >.< I just want to get it RIGHT for once! (I'm not blaming anyone who's critiqued my work...I'm just tired of not getting it right) <br />
I drew a picture of the youmacon mascot Tsuno, and her face and hair looked beautiful, but then I tried to draw in her body and for some reason the proportions wouldn't come out right, and so I ended up throwing it away. It hurt me that I couldn't get the body right. It made me want to give up.<br />
<br />
Please don't tell me things like 'well take an art class' because I don't want to get into my personal life here too much more, but I don't have any money. I have no way to get money, due to lack of work and lack of interested employers calling me back. <br />
<br />
Government funding isn't an option and the reason is complicated. I'm stuck.<br />
blah. *headdesk* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've noticed lately that the younger generation responds en masse to negative critique, even if you're being honest and not mean o.O<br />
<br />
Say..person one posts a picture on crumpled up notebook paper with rips and tears so it's hard to see what the art could be. This said image is also posted in finished pieces, not scraps.<br />
<br />
Person 2 critiques it among a mass of younger people saying "OMG SO COOL!", saying that it would be better if it were on clean, neat paper, and then maybe a comment about what they see could need improvement of the art itself.<br />
Person 2 is then attacked with a flood of teens saying OMG U SUX U DON'T KNOW ART.<br />
<br />
K...if you don't want an honest critique, then set what kind of critique you do want o.O When you have 'critique welcome', that usually means you're prepared mentally for correctional critique as well as positive.<br />
<br />
Not that the scenario has happened to me, I've just seen it happen numerous times. Same thing happens in cosplay, I suppose you just can't escape it. ]]></description>

This time from Saiyuki. It's uploaded on AMV's.org. Please download it if you have an account and tell me what you think!<br />
<br />
I do warn you that it is a bit long. I shrunk the filesize down to something tolerable for an AMV, so don't worry about killing your harddrives. <br />
<br />
It's made to the Enigma song "Following the Sun"<br />
