                <description><![CDATA[ I'm diseased and my skin is itchy. I'm hoping that I'm lucky enough to be turning into a zombeh. The list of peoples' faces I'd eat is quite extensive, but here's a small preview:<br />
(In no particular order)<br />
Raynalin<br />
Shadowwolfx1<br />
My Canadian friend "Carb"<br />
Other Canadian "Kiukiu"<br />
My girlfriend<br />
My girlfriends best friend<br />
My dog<br />
<br />
and many more.<br />
   IF you'd like to be added to the list, just let me know or wait until I burst through your bedroom/living room/ bathroom/any door. But then you don't get the bragging rights of having made reservations early.<br />
    I have to wait another week or two before Six Flags re-opens and I can start working again (sitting at home is killing me slowly). Luckily I have moneys coming to me.  <br />
    <br />
It's hard being so far apart from someone you love. Hopefully she won't get swamped by college since we only get to see each other once every two weeks at best.<br />
**EDIT**  I get to see her this Saturday! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  This is worth editing for because it makes me happy. :3<br />
<br />
Also, I have a webcam! If you want me to turn it on for you, just let me know.  :3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I want it. Simple as that. *wants to play Portal so bad*<br />
<br />
  So I finished my first week of real work (and walked away from training the week before with $75). Standing for 6-8 hours kills my legs, but it's worth it when I go to collect on Friday. I just wish MORE PEOPLE WOULD BUY CRAP! erkgnlqwekngkqneglknelgnlegnql<br />
It's not even about them spending their money so much as me having something to do. <br />
   <br />
   On the upside, I do get to see animals like porcupines, turtles, and parrots every now and then. Watching the turtle walk is like "ZOMG! TURTLE!" XD<br />
And seeing the parrot crack open a walnut is priceless.<br />
<br />
  More stuff coming soon, too! I spent the last week's free days working on a special picture for a special someone that I won't be posting here (since I wanted her to have the only copy). <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I kinda ninja'd this book from my parents' house (The 5th Horseman - James Patterson) and I've been getting started on reading it. I'm hoping it's as good as the last 4.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
As it is, I'm poor as hell. Almost as poor as <a href="http://shadowwolfx1.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/h/shadowwolfx1.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconshadowwolfx1:" title="shadowwolfx1"/></a>!  T_T (This statement is funny because he has a job now and I don't.) So I'm making it a priority to get a job, and quick! I almost can't stand sitting at home every day just playing games, eating, and sleeping (it sounds nice at first, but it's terribly, terribly frustrating). If any of you in my area, and you know who you are, know of anything besides Six Flags, tell me so I can stop being a bum.  D:<br />
<br />
And if you've commented on any of my stuff/on my page and I didn't respond:<br />
<br />
Sorry!  ^_^;<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So my life has been a bit more hectic than usual and I found myself away from home more often than not. Luckily the event which occupied so much of my time is finally over and I can now settle back down at home and...<br />
<br />
Do nothing?<br />
   Since I missed this semester's sign-up I need to find a job pretty fast. Slackers aren't tolerated in my house unless the authorities themselves are slacking. So now I get to sit at home every day and play games/draw/job hunt in that order.<br />
<br />
I'm working on getting a scanner for myself and not relying on anyone else's. So expect some long-overdue updates!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So I've been doing exactly what I said I wouldn't. I've been taking something of a break, which I'd rather not do, but find myself doing anyways. I allow it because if I force myself to draw things it starts to become a chore and not something I love doing.<br />
  I've hit that point in life where I'm just getting out of High School and moving on to college. Now I need to get a job, pay for an apartment that I'll be renting out with my brother and best friend, and sign up for college classes. What a year this'll be...<br />
  On the bright side, I've been getting a lot of ideas lately. Watching Zoids again has made me realize how much I've been neglecting anime/manga in general.<br />
<br />
  Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things soon. I'm kinda eager to get back  to regularly submitting to DA.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Only a month left of school before I head off to college. I can hardly believe it, but I'm glad it's almost here (I can hardly stand high school). I'll be going to a different college than the rest of my friends, so I'm gonna miss them a lot. Luckily, most of us have each other's numbers so we can still talk/hang out sometimes. <br />
<br />
I'd wanted to go to an anime convention nearby as Roy Mustang from Full Metal Alchemist, but complications arose and I probably won't be going at all. *sigh*  <br />
    I've been slacking as of late and I need a remedy to it. Luckily, contests seem to do the trick nicely, so I'll probably try entering more of them.<br />
<br />
Please direct all questions and concerns to that wall over there  >>>>>><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So ~saintfighteraqua is doing this 3 question thing that he found somewhere or something and it sounded fun. So here it is:<br />
<br />
Ask me any 3 questions (any at all) and you will get an answer to them. I will answer as truthfully as I can.<br />
<br />
_____________________________________<br />
In other news, my spring break is over and I'm off to a GREAT start with school... I've already been extremely late one day and absent the next. -_-<br />
   Paintball was really fun, even though my mask kept fogging up and I got shot quite a bit (though not as much as ~ShadowWolfX1 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> )<br />
Bowling was interesting too, even though I hadn't played for something like 10 years and so I sucked hard. I'm also in need of more art supplies! I've been wanting to try out these copic markers everyone is so into. If you know of any good brands/materials let me know so I can try em out!<br />
<br />
Thanks to everyone for commenting so nicely on my work. <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Is what I'd say if I was a pirate.<br />
<br />
The "Artist Duel!!" ended some time ago (with me as winner, of course, no matter what he says. Really, don't listen. He lies. And kicks babies). I haven't really updated since my scanner is currently unavailable (I blame Windows). I have some new stuff that I wanna show, so please give me more time before you kill my cousin.  <br />
<br />
It takes me time to drive to the execution site.<br />
<br />
So far it's almost a week into my 2 week spring break and I've been pretty damn bored. Luckily that will change tomorrow as I go out with friends to bowl, which I haven't done in almost 10 years, and then proceed to play some early morning paintball. Is it okay to eat a muffin while doing this?<br />
    I hope the answer is 'yes'... Blueberry muffins and shooting people have always gone together.<br />
<br />
Lots of <3's for my friends, because you never know when you'll need a transplant.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The duel begins today! He may be well on his way with 1 already finished, but I'm well on my way with one ALMOST fini- ...   It's gonna be inked and in color, gimme a break. I work slow T-T ,which is both a blessing and a curse. It helps pass the time by, but in the end I don't get much done.<br />
<br />
   It's not quite inspiration, but I got some neat ideas. I'll probably post my first completed one today! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <title>Drawing slump?!</title>

                <description><![CDATA[ Title says it. Haven't been drawing much lately. I'm just not getting inspiration for anything. Not only that, but it seems I work best at night. Being a night person who has school in the morning is really... difficult. I have to decide between being late and drawing. Of course, I choose school, much to my dismay.<br />
<br />
Hint: If you're like me and need motivation or even inspiration to draw try challenging a friend to an "Artist's Duel!!" (complete with both "!!"s).<br />
1) Try to draw more pictures than your opponent(s).<br />
2) Quality is scored greater than quantity.<br />
3) Requires a neutral 3rd party (or none, the point is just to give you a solid and fun reason to draw a lot).<br />
     ***Works best with competitive males***<br />
<br />
Give it a shot. Or don't. Either way I have school in the morning and have to sleep more.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

So rather than do that I've been holed up in my room attempting to learn how to use Photoshop. Mild success, but nothing worth jumping for joy about.<br />
