                <description><![CDATA[ Just a quick litle update...<br />I'm so excited! Three Doors Down is preforming really close to where I live. So my whole family is going to see them!<br />Actually, they were going to preform at a small league baseball stadium really close to where I live (which excited me, 'cause its a small urban town-city). Unfortunately, they changed it to the National Harbor. Which, incidentally, is near where my grandparents live; and before it was the "National" Harbour, it was the creek I grew up in, catching fish and hearing stories of my parents' first kiss. So when they demolished that little park bench, I got a bit upset; but now, the whole nation is sharing in <i>my</i> childhood memories.<br />And that's just pretty dang sweet! <3<br />~~~<br />Regardless of venue change, I am so excited! 3DD got me through alot of hard stuff, since at least middle school. <i>The Better Life</i> w/ Kryptonite and <i>Away from the Sun</i> w/ "When I'm Gone" and "Dangerous Game"(which some of you might remember, was my signature for the longest time) are CDs I cherish, and know back and forth.<br /><i>Seventeen Days</i> and <i>Three Doors Down</i> are still a little knew to me, but I cherish them both: "Father's Son" is a classic and so heart-wrenching; while "Citzen/Soldier" makes me ready to join the armed forces, and "She Don't Want the World" reminds me of the definition of solidarity.(some of you might also recognize this as a title of "The little Things..." Chapter.)<br /><br />I am so excited for this! Hopefully it'll be as good as CrueFest(- MC and Bc).<br /><br />If anyone else is seeing the concert, or wants to talk 3DD, feel free! I'd be willing to go on for hours, hehe.<br />~~~<br />I'll udate after the concert<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br /><3 <3 <3 <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...meaning I am a wimp. I'm about to do a slightly reflectively, slightly whiny, slightly emo little rant. If you don't want to hear it, but want some more concrete info. from me, skip to the astricks.<br />So... two nights ago, I went to bed pretty late, 11:50-something. This isn't too uncommon; neither is the fact that I check my email right before I turn off my computer.  So, at almost midnight, I read an email from my English teacher from last year.<br />She's not coming back to my school.<br />If I wasn't an English-nut, I probably wouldn't have cared too much. If I was going to college next year, I probably wouldn't have cared too much. If I didn't think Mrs. O was one of the single best Literature teachers on the planet, as well as one of the best teachers in my high school, I probably wouldn't have cared too much. But these are all facts. Also: my sister, a non-avid-reader, was supposed to have her next year; Mrs. O started a Chinese arts and letters club that me and Sashimi were supposed to be in, and I would have been able to have a lot of fun with the three of them; Mrs. O is so hard to please, with our writing, that is, so I wanted to Wow her; she's a really funny, really cool teacher that just embodies what teaching Lit. should be like. <br />In her email, she told us{her AP Lang. class, '08-'09} that she wished us well, she got a new job teaching 8th graders{at a public school, where they'd pay her better}, and she'll miss us.<br />I cried when I finished scan-reading it.<br />I want to respond to her email later today, and to kindof hash out what I need to say, and what I should say to her, I'm telling you guys what I learned after thinking about that email. So bear with me a little longer...<br />I was a bit puzzled that I would /cry/ after finding out that a teacher I just had, and would never have a for a real class ever again, was leaving. Being sad was appropriate. Feeling sorry that the school couldn't keep her{I certainly would have doubled her salary if I was the administrator} was appropriate. Pitying Kait for not having her next year--- again appropriate. And even though I've been a crybaby my entire life, this was a bit much.<br />Granted, I did not bawl. I just teared up for a solid two minutes. But still, that's a little weird.<br />So I thought about this past year. *insert "Black Rose" by Trapt* I haven't felt close to my friends; my sister Kait has been my closest freind that I've gotten to see everyday; my TW mates either had 1 or no classes with me{or worse, didn't go to SIR}; "I" broke up with my 1st bf{it was mutual, really}; I've felt isolated and made myself isolated from anyone & everyone my own age. Its sucked.<br />What I didn't realize until reading that letter/email was that I had been utilizing a defense mechanism for this isolation all year long: I replaced my teachers for my friends.<br />I spent almost everyday afterschool in the Science Lab with my Chem teacher. Either I did hw, talked to her, or helped out the kids who came for hw-help from her. In the mornings, I hung out with "MamaBird", the TW nickname for my Frmn. Physics teacher. I did that afterschool sometimes as well; also I would visit Mr. F, my Theology teacher; Mrs. R, my old Alg2 teacher. I spent a good time in Mrs. M's room before going to my own history class; and of course, I tried to get to school extra early on the days I had Mrs. O first. That allowed me some short one-on-one talks with her... I really wish they had been longer.<br />I ended up spending every other minute with these teachers, trying to win their approval, soaking up their wisdom, laughing at they're course-centric jokes. Part of me thinks, Sheesh, that was pathetic. The other part recognizes the fact that I've always liked talking to "older" people; I almost always spent more time at the grown-up table than with the kids at parties and such. The adults were always more interesting.<br />School, neigh, life, just became another party... Play with the kids my age for a while, and when they got boring or immature, try and pour myself some soda in a wine glass, then go to the table or couches where all the adults talked. Be quiet, listen, laugh appropriately, learn. Learning's always what I've been good at... Not common sense, not communication, not human interaction... So what else would my brain do but this?<br />Part of me wants to tell Mrs. O how important it was for me to have her class this year: I learned so much, I remembered why I loved to read, I almost devoted the neccesary time to writing, and I needed her to be my friend. I knew she never really was... She has an omni-present, unreachable nature... but I still needed her company. She didn't always laugh at my "weird-nerd" or "rock-obsessed" jokes, but she did just often enought that I didn't feel alone.<br />I'm not sure how I'm to say it without sounding like a stalker, but yeah... I'm definitely going to miss her, and I'm definitely going to spam her email with... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, I got tagged... Thanks Mei-han!*glares*<br /><br />1) What time did you get up this morning?<br />9:05... I've been limiting my sleeping in time til 9... I'll probably change it to 8:30, then 8, by July...<br /><br />2) Daimonds or Pearls?<br />Garnets! Put if I had to pick, I guess Pearl since I have a pearl version{Pokemon was seriously the first thing that came to my mind reading this XD}<br /><br />3) What was the last film you saw at the cinema?<br />Angels and Demons. It was almost Star Treck or Terminator, though, 'cause my dad wanted to go to the movies last Friday. <br /><br />4) What is your favourite TV show?<br />The Tudors. and NCIS. Dollhouse is pretty sweet action as well.<br /><br />5) What did you have for breakfast?<br />The coffee my dad left in his thermos with sugar, milk, and whipping cream.<br />I debated about a bagel, but I'll probably have that for lunch...<br /><br />6) What is your middle name?<br />My pen name has no middle name!<br />But in reality, its Marie.<br /><br />7) What is your favourite cuisine?<br />I eat food. Whatever is fastest to make. <br />But I guess I really like sushi, sea weed salad, and any sort of pasta.{My mom makes speghetti almost every thursday night for dinner. I can live off that stuff}<br /><br />8) What food do you dislike?<br />Old people food. You know, the stuff they make at weird family gettogethers when they forget about the five-ten year olds{and my mom}, so everything you bite into is a gamble.<br />I.E., watergate salad made especially for your aunt whom doesn't like it, and is then put into your sister's punch by your should-be-a-teenager-the-way-he-acts uncle.<br /><br />9) What is your favourite potato chip?<br />I dislike potatoe chips, they're never filling enough.  But I do likesalt& vinegar on occaision. And Fritos.<br /><br />10) What is your favourite CD at the moment?<br />Ugh... I have so many favorites. I guess Sound of Madness by Shinedown, and Metamorphosis by Papa Roach.<br />Oh, and the Anastasia sound track I want to get from Borders.<br /><br />11) What kind of car do you drive?<br />2000 Toyota Avalon... Not sure about the year, but its silver with granny mirrors attached to the side mirrors{I got the car from my grandma...}. I love my car and its SMYFFL magnet!<br /><br />12) Favourite sandwich?<br />Roast beef. Sometimes with cheese.<br /><br />13) What characteristics do you despise?<br />Cocky, perverted, and snobby. <br />14) What are your favourite clothes?<br />The ones I don't wear... i.e., anything in Amy Lee's wardrobe.<br />Also, I love wearing Formal/Prom dresses. And peasant skirts. Oh, and of course, the blue and purple knitted sweater my mom made me. Its not like a Weasley sweater, its pretty form fitting and corded and soft. Its amazing.<br /><br />15) If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?<br />I have no clue... I've always wanted to go to Hawaii... but I'm more of a laid back person, so as long as I have some book, a notebook and pen, and a good place to read, I'm all set.<br /><br />16) What colour is your bathroom?<br />Heh, me, paint my bathroom? I think not... But my sisters' bathroom is blue with rubber duckies in it. Its really cute...<br /><br />17) Favourite brand of clothing?<br />Anything that isn't name brand popular. American Eagle, Aeropostle, Pac Sun, you name it. If its in the outlets or on super sale, I'll buy it, but I really don't like too. Since my mom is really fashionable, though, I have a ton of Hollister and AE stuff that was on sale.<br />But I'd just as soon go to T.J. Max<br />Seriously, I think I'd rather buy 90% of my stuff from Hot Topic. then I can wear Pokemon, Miffy and Mario, with a splash of 3 Days Grace Ts and funky looking faeries for the rest of my life....<br /><br />18) Where would you want to retire?<br />In the Team Whiplash Mansion. Or in some dingy apartment with my sister Kait. I'll sit at one end, she'll sit at the other, and we'll be talking to each other via cellphone or can&string phone.<br /><br />19) Favourite time of day?<br />6:00. My dad comes home from work, we have dinner or go out on the prowl, or I go to football practice at the time. It marks the beginning of the night, and when I usually have free time or family time.<br /><br />20) Where were you born?<br />D.C.<br /><br />21) Favourite sport to watch?<br />FOOTBALL.<br />And flag football. The best part of being a flag referee is watching the 5-6 year olds play. If they don't go into proper posistion, the big burly coaches just pick 'em up and put 'em there. Those kids are so adorable.<br /><br />22) Who do you think you will tag?<br />This thing is way too long for me to tag anyone... <br /><br />23) Who do you think will respond to the tag?<br />Jess.<br /><br />24) Coke or Pepsi?<br />Barq's; because Coke is a drug, and Pepsi is gross.<br /><br />25) Are you a morning person or a night owl?<br />Both. I {usually} wake up early to have coffee with my... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="content"><br /><b><br /><div class="Block"><br />Well, I finally finished my new journal back ground. Thanks to all of you whom voted in my poll. As you can see, the winner is....<br /><br />Pokemon, one of the two choices that got <i>no</i> votes <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <br />Yeah, so I found my two pics of Kai'ern, "the Steel-Studded Miner". She lives on Iron Island (though she has a room in Byron's house in Canalave City) and is Riley's first cousin. {I'm still debating whether or not she should have blue hair.} More importantly, I got suckered into watching the new Pokemon episode, Ancient Family Matters. It was surprisingly good, almost to the quality of the old Kanto episodes. The only real problem was Byron's voice... done by Dan Green.  Either way, the episode also featured my favorite Gym Leader, Roark.<br />This is where the journal comes in... Roark episode + Kai'ern drawings= Ana remembering the whole Kai'ernxRoark arc she made forever ago. Kai'ernxRoark + need for new journal + indecisiveness of poll participants=  Kai'ernxRoark Theme journal.<br />There you have it, and there it is.<br /><br /></div><br /><div class="Block"><br /><br />For poll participants whom are angry with my Twist of Fate:<br />If your vote was in 1st or second place, I will be drawing a picture of it to submit to dA in the next 2 weeks. <br />Those that voted for "new characters" probably assumed they would be from my manga project... well, they should be, but aren't{'cause I don't have them fully formed in my brain}.  Instead, "new characters" will be from "Text Chain", a short story I wrote for my school's literary magazine. Since this one got 5 votes, I'll probably do three pictures with the five main characters: One of Griffith, one of Sonya, and one with Mia, Estelle, and Irene. Also, I will actually post the short story, so you know what you're looking at.<br />For those that voted for the 2nd place winners, check out your vote:<br />Chem Buddies: I will try and redraw them. The original is with my AP Chem. teacher.<br />Her Majesty's Dog: I will try to put up a Zakuro or Hyoue pic.<br />Durza: Well, something with the Shade in it. Maybe in Pastel, or painted. Or with his "apprentice", Wydra {my O.C.}<br />TMM: Erm... The Colonel and Raeika; or Kisshu; or Deep Blue; or The Colonel and Raekia's make-ver Mews for my entrance into Cafe-Mew-Mew dA club<br />Scar: Mei-han, I'll see if I can make a chibi Scar, just for you.<br /><br />For the person who put "other"{There are 2 entries for other because I voted other to see the results}: Comment this journal with whatever it s you wanted me to draw... and I'll work on it.<br /></div> <div class="Block"><br />~~~<br />Gonna switch the gears back to Pokemon...<br />This journal took forever. The concept took practically no time at all, and I actually finished the sketch & line-art in one day. Getting all the Underground stuff however... Not so easy. I originally planned to stare at my Diamond&amp<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />earl book and recreate all the different Mining Layers... But I failed, so I found a screen shot on serebii.com and got 5 of the squares. Then I made a template of checkers, copied and pasted over and over until I got all the underground stuff. I put in some items, images courtesy of Bulbapedia.com. Also thanks to pokemonelite2000.com for being amazing and allowing me to use their Roark sprite... All the colors I used for him come directly from that sprite... So HA! to all the people who say his hair shouldn't be that color. ^-^<br />I hope someone gets a kick out of the theme. And the fact that Roark loves fossils, Kai'ern loves plates, and Ana always finds Heart Scales on her Pearl game. Argg~<br />Since I introduced this new character, I figured I my as well put stuff up about her. So, I'll scan my character profile sketch of her, as well as the one with her and Roark in it. The later will probably be colored digitally as well. <br />Also, since the new Platinum game has come out, I've been debating whether or not to get it. I'm still at the 8th gym leader for Pearl...Mostly out of laziness. The debate ended when I realized I got myself too embedded in Pokemon to ever truly give it up; so I thought, for this new game, I'll actually try to be Kai'ern, marking a new change for me: I've always kept my actual name for my Pokemon games. I've had... 10 versions, plus a Pokemon Colosseum save file, all with the same name. Male or Female. So this might get interesting.<br />I'm going to forsake my old strategies and adopt Kai'ern's team, battle style, everything. Wish me luck<br /></div><div class="Block"><br />~~~<br />In other news.... I've got a lot of projects that I hope to complete this summer. Hopefully you guys will cheer me on and I'll actually get them done. So f... ]]></description>

Most people would take this time to cram for their AP Language test. {ItÂs three hours long, you know.} But what do I decide to do?<br />Â<br />dA search pictures of Marik Ishtar from Yu-Gi-Oh, of course! My Lang. Teacher would kill me if she found out.  I am such a loser. {Especially since I want to draw him now >.<}<br /><br />.-.  I blame my new post-examen project.  My favorite character [so far] stole his name from the above mentioned: Malik.  So Malik is constantly on my mindÂ I love playing with his history and plot and such.<br />I asked my co<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=p" title="=p (Razz)" />roject-maker-buddy if she would draw Malik for my spiffy new subscribed journal header.  She said she would try, thus, I am happy.<br /><br />Now all I have to do is figure out how to use CSS.  If anyone has any tipsÂ Please help <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />*sigh*  There is more to say, but I cannot think of it.  So, for now, wish myself and my AP Language class good luck {please?}<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />****EDIT****<br />5/16/09<br />Well, today was probably the best day ever, and a wonderful way to end AP-Exam-Hell Week <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />1) I am a Flag Football Referee(in case I didn't mention this before...) and last week a ton of parents were yelling at me. This week, my games were pretty low key. And I got paid. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />2) For my own Flag game, I got TWO Touchdowns, and scored the extrra point.  This is amazing, because I generally am horrible at offense(Defense on the other hand, goes pretty well).  Also, my team's QB is gaining confidence and his QB-mind is starting to click(this is his first season in flag; my 5th).  All my teammates ran their routes perfectly(Thank God!~) and the whole game was just amazing!<br />We won 33-14 (the refs didn't let us go for the extra point since we were crushing the other team)<br />3) My mother was able to fix my virus-ridden computer.  Meaning that I can finally uses photshop and Corel Painter again!! So, ~<a class="u" href="http://pinkviolin.deviantart.com/">pinkviolin</a>, you're avatar might finally get animated. ^-^<br />As another implication, I get to access all my poetry again. Plus my NaNo, 2008!! I might actually finish it.<br /><br />Beofore I say adeu, I would also like to adress those who answered my poll: Who are you crazies and why must you want the chibis when you don't even know what kind of characters they are?! /I/ barely know who they are![For serious, I have a vague idea for one of them; a not-so-vague idea for another two; and the final two are not from my head; although I've seen a picture of them, that picture is getting re-vamp'ed!]<br />{I cannot fathom/remember why I put that option in the poll...}<br />Currently, you losers{I kid!} are winning; 2nd is tied for Durza and HMD. I might just decide I want 2nd place to win...<br /><br /><div class="example-footer"> </div></div></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Phew... This past week was not the best.  I planned on having yesterday be "Celebrate the End of the Poverty/Budgeting Project" on DA, but instead I took a road trip. So today became celebration day.<br />For those who don't go to SIR (my nifty new codename for my high school), the "Poverty project" is a budgeting project in which the junior students are told to fill out a whole bunch of paper work to work out what it would be like to care for yourself and an 8 year old boy with an income(- taxes) of about $15,000.  We had to do a lot of research and stuff: get an apartment, pay proper bill amounts for our area, make a 2 week meal planner... and more. Not so fun. But budgeting is a good skill so I haven't complained as much as my classmates.<br />So what does this celebration consist of? Me doing what I want to do, that's what. SO what does that mean for you lovely DA peoples? The following, of course!<br />3 New deviations focusing on Tokyo Mew Mew(Poor you you.)<br />Some more poetry (Including "Ragdoll", based a little bit on the new show Doll House)<br />A couple of pictures (or maybe just my mom's b-day picture, featuring myself and my sisters)<br />and hopefully,<br />Fan Fiction Chapters(not only Haruko, mayhaps)<br />A preview of "Lithium", my unfinished NaNoWriMo novel.(title is still being debated)<br />A surprise.<br /><br />Also, Lent starts this week. Yay for no meat on Fridays... which means bad pizza and Mongolian BBQ Buffet for me. Yay?<br />I generally don't give up anything for Lent, just because I've never seen the point. I prefer changing something about myself, or setting a new goal.<br />This year's goal is to Live.<br />Wait, what?<br />Yeah, so I feel as though I've been bogged down by commitments recently and I haven't done anything for myself.  So this Lent, I'm going to try to have fun being in high school, not try for 110% on all my school work (93% is perfectly fine, I've heard), and sweep away all my past grudges. So basically, remake myself into a happy Ana that I can live with on a daily basis.<br /><br />Another, much cooler, thing that might be happening in the future is that I might co-op a manga with an amazing artist-friend of mine. I'll do the writing/plot and she'll draw it. So cheer us on while we consider how we'll get it done, and if you have any ideas for stories, go on and tell me.<br /><br />Thanks for listening.<br />Hope you guys enjoy my new stuff.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ We have some major problems(We being just me, but who really cares about grammar rules dealing with plurals and singulars? They're vastly over-rated)<br />1: Fandom. It's going a tad haywire in my head.  <br />   a) Because the Twilight movie will be out in half an hour, meaning that I will need to re-read the book by tomorrow night. I absolutely hate movies made from books, yet I will watch it anyway. Why? Because I can...<br />    b) ~<a class="u" href="http://krysofdeath.deviantart.com/">krysofdeath</a> mentioned being on a pokemon spiel... and now I think I'll be going on one soon. Probably dealing with Roark from Diamond/Pearl(I can't believe I admitted that)<br />   c) I forgot that I was sort of in a Tokyo Mew Mew fan club... Actually, I have no clue if I am an official member. Either way, I checked that account out and realized I want to participate in the AMV contest. Even though I can't make AMVs... which probably will all add up to a TMM spiel. Yay, Kish?<br />   d) Without any provoking, I want to read Night of the Beasts vol. 5. It's been a while since I visited that series...<br />2) Writing. So yeah, I've been trying to do NaNoWriMo. Unfortunately. a Lit project and 2 weeks of being sick have made it next to impossible for me to work. So on Thanksgiving I'll be cranking out 40,000 words. Hopefully.  Then IÂll write 2 chapters of The Little Things for all the people that love me even when I donÂt crank out good literature.<br />Also, less poetic inspiration has shown up, meaning I'm going to need to get better at making poetry without it. Crap.<br />3) School. I really dislike going to school recently, except I love being in class. >.< It makes no sense whatsoever.  Also, my 2 favorite classes/teachers this year make fun of me.  For instance, my AP Chem. teacher was mean to my football team(Go Skins!).  And my Lit teacher made me admit to writing fan fiction in front of the class. Part of me wonders what she would say if she read it. {Of course, both teachers did so in good humor, so no real worries}.<br />...<br />I feel like I'm going to collapse with all the work I have to do.  And regardless of it all, I want to draw Chemistry Care Bears. What the heck is wrong with me?<br /><br />~Ana<br />P.S.: The book I'm reading by Tim O'Brien is amazing. I definitely suggest anyone needing a good read give it a try.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well you see, I have this Language/Literature project for school.  I was supposed to pick a Banned/Challenged Book for it; I picked Yevgeny Zamyatin's We. It was an excellent read, though difficult. For my project, I must do many things, one of which is a visual representation.<br />This is where I became dumb.<br />I decided that I would do a sculpture of the Machine, which kills off dissenters in the book.  First, it was going to be made out of clay. Then I had a "better" idea: Since there is no value for the individual in the One State, then my project should be made out of something easily disposed of. And my answer to this question came quickly: Now and Laters and Laffy Taffy.<br />So yes, I am making an entire futuristic gallow out of taffy. Fun, huh?<br />Guess when it's due?<br />... ...<br />How did you know the answer is Monday? You also know I have no time this weekend, don't you?<br />So yes, I'm messed up.<br />Where do you come in? I obviously need help. So what I'm asking is if anyone has any experience with modeling clay, taffy sculptures, or any clay-like medium, show/tell me some methods for making stuff. Even if its as simple as "Use a rolling pin", I'll take it.<br />Thank you for your help.<br />~~~~~<br />Also, my "Reading" info is wrong; I'm re-reading We, and I'm stealing from my mother while she's sleeping and reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer<br />~~~~~<br />Project Percentages:<br />ALL PROJECTS HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY HAULTED.<br />This is due to my Lit. project, and the fact that I'm participating in NaNoWriMo during November.(go find more info at eee.nanowriomo.org) Wish me Luck!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

If I was to participate in a poetry slam, which poem should I use?<br />I am going tonight... and might participate. So pleae comment!<br />Thanks much!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello Everyone! Sorry that you've all been staring at my crappy contest; its gone now. If anyone still wants to enter, they can. If not,  whatever. No big deal...<br /><br />So... I found a really awesome site a few days ago. Guess what its about*points to journal title* Poetry! ItÂs a listing of events in a city close to where I live, and has a lot of poets. You can submit your poets to a forum and have people actually critique. it made me happy and warm inside. <br />~~<br />Oh yeah... I hate Parallel parking! It is evil!<br />I need to get my provisional by Aug. 25... so I'm getting a crash course in parallel parking. Bleh. The only thing that's helped me is Apocalyptica's "Worlds Collide" CD.<br />~~~<br />Well, something else I wanted to say: I love my Chem. teacher!! She is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I got my class schedule earlier this week, and it said I didn't have Chem1 i got very sad, but then today I emailed Mrs. S. and asked her what happened. Within TEN MINUTES she responded back, saying she would tell the Dean of Academics.<br />So yeah, completely AWESOME teacher. Now if only all of my other teachers this year can be that good...<br />~~~~<br />For the sake of Sashimi-chan, Mei-han, and Regina, I will have chap 2 of TLTGYA on tomorrow. And probably chap 3 too. I'm sorry guys, but chromatography is a pain in my butt, because the directions are so vague!!!<br />~~~~~<br />Also. If you are from my school (SMR), and in the arts program...<br />What do you guys think about a "Save the SMR Arts" club on DA? The main purpose would be to collectively unite, and plan out different stuff. We need to be helping  our teachers to make the program better; because we definitely aren't getting as much help as the football team is. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />~~~~~~<br />Well, here's a list of works to be done:<br />The Little Things... Chap 2: 80%<br />The Little Things... Chap 3: 0%<br />Poetry about Chromatography: 0%<br />Joy/Obsidian Doll for Krysofdeath: 1%(I thought about how I'm going to do it)<br />Hinamatsuri Plushie, Hatori Hanzo: 10%<br />And other random pastel work...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Unfortunately, winxgirl21, this is not the contest I was speaking of in my last journal. So sorry.<br />Well, since its Summer, I've got a new poem up called "Summer Nights". And also, since we have oodles of time on our hands for drawing and writing and complaining about DA version 6, I thought I'd host a summer contest. The rules and object are pretty straightforward.<br />1: Read the poem "Summer Night" by KamikazeGeisha.<a href="http://kamikazegeisha.deviantart.com/art/Summer-Nights-91710278">[link]</a><br />2: Guess what the following things refer to:<br />"Sammy"(lines 4 & 69)<br />"People's"(line 56)<br />"that Canadian Soap Opera"(line 19)<br />"a copper show"(line 27) <br />Pretty Simple, eh? Well, that's the point.<br />Rules<br />1: <a href="http://kaitebug.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaitebug.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaitebug:" title="kaitebug"/></a> may NOT enter this contest or help anyone. Anyone found guilty of such will be disqualified.<br />2: You can only submit one entry per topic.(Thus your entry can't be "Sammy" refers to this and that, but you can enter "Sammy" means this and "a copper show" means that.)<br />3: You can only win once. So even if you nailed every topic, you only win one of them.<br />4: To enter, note me what you think the topics mean. You do not have to guess every topic.<br />Now for the sucky part of the sucky contest. Prizes...<br />You can pick either:<br />an avatar commission.<br />a poetry commission(see the article "Poetry Stand" if you don't have a clue what I'm talking about <a href="http://www.theamericanscholar.org/au07/poetry-goetsch.html">[link]</a>)<br />or, for the braver people<br />a picture commission<br />All done by me. Sorry.<br />*EDIT!*<br />Nikiera volunteered 2 art commisions. Yay!<br /><br />If someone wants to donate prizes, I thank you highly.<br />~~~<br />Onto other business...<br />I did not go to CrueFest... which is very sad... My parents are putting me and Kait in charge of finding another, farther from our house, location. Because they didn't like the place they were holding CrueFest on the 13th. "Too much standstill traffic", they said. So Kait and I's response: "I need driving hours"(or in Kait's situation, "she needs driving hours")... but they didn't listen...<br />~~<br />I would like to formerly apologize to <a href="http://winxgirl21.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/w/i/winxgirl21.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconwinxgirl21:" title="winxgirl21"/></a> for my comments on Konoha High. I know I was mean, but its only 'cause she's one of my best friends. Either way, as repentance, I hope you all check her stuff out(even though she's the only one who reads my journals) So give it up for Mei-han!!<br />~~~<br />If you didn't notice, I'm shamelessly advertising my Naruto fanfic, The Little Things Give You Away. I ask that if you like Naruto, or know DA people that like Naruto, spread my shamelessness. Please?<br />~~<br />Ok, I'll shut my trap for now. <br />Clubs: <br /><a href="http://everybodyplush.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/v/everybodyplush.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconeverybodyplush:" title="everybodyplush"/></a> <a href="http://haku-fan-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/a/haku-fan-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhaku-fan-club:" title="haku-fan-club"/></a> <a href="http://tobi-has-a-fan-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/o/tobi-has-a-fan-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontobi-has-a-fan-club:" title="tobi-has-a-fan-club"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Haha, Alliteration ^^<br />Ok, well, I needed to get that other journal unseen, even though my previous worries got replaced. Everything's fine, so don't worry.<br />	<br />Well, I "won" my first contest. By "won" I mean I didn't get first, but I placed. Honorable mention/ 2nd place in sweetplushiecake's Cosplay contest. My entry was ::Mew Mew Basket::, a twist on Furuba and Tokyo Mew Mew. I'm so happy that it didn't turn out horribly. You should really check out the other entries {<a href="http://sweetplushiecake.deviantart.com/favourites/?3352838#Cosplay-Contest}.">[link]</a> I especially loved Sailor Zelda and Amy the Hedgehog as Mew Ichigo.<br /><br />Secondly... Did you see my self-titled poem? <a href="http://kamikazegeisha.deviantart.com/art/The-Kamikaze-Geisha-90931758">[link]</a> It basically explains why I chose that name for my Deviantart account. After writing it I thought, ÂEveryone has a story behind their name. I wonder what it could be?Â So I'm thinking of hosting a Writing Contest. Any form you want, as long as it has something to do with your deviantart name. If I get enough interest, I'll post more specific rules.<br /><br />I'm having fun doing contests recently, so if you see any or are hosting any, please tell me. I'd love to compete!<br /><br />And if you want an animated avatar, I'd love to help. I'm having fun keeping myself busy, and making my exploding chemistry bottle was fun. Just note me.<br /><br />Also, CrueFest. I could spend an entire journal on it, and I will next Monday. My dad, sister, and I are trying to score tickets. To be honest, IÂm not the biggest <b>Motley Crue</b> fan, but guess who else is on the list? <b>PapaRoach</b>, with their beautiful and hardcore CDs about Love and Violence(The Paramour Sessions and Getting Away with Murder); <b>Trapt</b>, who has inspired some of my poems; <b>BuckCherry</b>, who isn't a huge fave of mine, but Crazy ***** is still a catchy song; and <b>Sixx: A.M.</b>, makers of the most inspirational rock CD I have ever heard. It describes the ins and outs of heroine addiction, and its purpose is to demote addiction. Period. I love their CD and hope they make more.<br />I really want to read the book. Badly. I'm going to Borders ASAP.<br /><br />So... Is anyone else going to Cruefest or just psyched about it? Or am I alone on that love?<br /><br />Hheh... Look, I;m in clubs... who knew?<br /><a href="http://everybodyplush.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/v/everybodyplush.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconeverybodyplush:" title="everybodyplush"/></a> <a href="http://haku-fan-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/a/haku-fan-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhaku-fan-club:" title="haku-fan-club"/></a> <a href="http://tobi-has-a-fan-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/o/tobi-has-a-fan-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontobi-has-a-fan-club:" title="tobi-has-a-fan-club"/></a><br /><br /><br />CrueFest map.

                <description><![CDATA[ Lately I've been getting back into my old fandoms(TMM and HMD, most importantly) and have found out that most of my favorite guys from those series are... considered gay. Examples, you ask? Orochimaru and Haku from Naruto, Zakuro from HMD, and Kish(/ Kisshu) from Tokyo MewMew. Maybe its just that I see something  that noone else does. Or I'm weird. Its not like I have a problem with gay people, nor do I love them for no appaant reason. Who you are a human being is all I care about. I don't swing that way, but if you do, who am I to say otherwise.<br />But back to my dilema... I found myself reading a KishxMasaya fanfic. The writing style was good, so I liked it. Then I had the urge to draw it... That was odd.<br />So, basically, I don't know what's happening my head, but there may be some guyxguy stuff on my page?? Who knows.<br />I feel like a total basket case, for more reasons then just this. I feel so bad for my friends who have to deal with me, esp. the Bear, who I've snapped at alot recently...<br /> everything he says seems to get on my nerves. Maybe i've just been tired when I've talked to him(all conversations were past 10PM). Also, there's the perc. freshman at my school. They've been worried about me for a couple of months now. they're so sweet. <br />I'm not sure how to cure my insanity... I think I'll be doing alot more writing and pastel stuffes to cope. Hopefully I'll be my normal self again.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I've been meaning to update for a while, but I've been so busy! Especially with school. In Literature, I have to write an essay analyzing a poem from one one of the authors we've read so far, and then find Literary criticism to support it. Lucky me, we read T.S. Elliot's the Hollow Man. I liked the poem alot, but decided to find a new one for my project. I found one of the Four Quartets, called "East Coker". If you love poetry, or if you're a writer, or if you're just bored, you HAVE to read it. Its is possibly the most amazing poem I've ever read by a published author. Unfortunatly, it took me 5-10 reads to understand it.<br />In other news, this month is National Poetry Month. Who knew? I just figured it out a couple days ago. But luckily, I've been celebrating it the whole time. I came up with a project that has me writing a poem a day for month, even if I don't want to. Yay for forced creativity!! I've missed a few days, but I still have to make them up by the end of the month. I'll put them up soon, so look out for the "Forces of April" portfolio.<br />Well, if you didn't already know, I got sucked into the vortex of Twilight fans(by Stephenie Meyer). I've already finished all 3, but I haven't been participating in the online phenomina(Sp?). So I tried it out. I found a border's book clun interview with the author. It is absolutly amazing!! The video takes a while, but it definatly has re-sparked my Twilight intrest. Which gives me an excuse to put up "Chapter 23". Before you look at it, its a poem not a chapter <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> There will be a history on the poem's page, but if your wondering about the tie-in, I wrote it after reading Chapter 23 of Elcipse. Maybe it'll make sense only if you read it; again, who knows?<br />Thirdly(yes, I like to write alot), my school expects people to be sending in poems and short stories by May 9th. So I'm holding an unofficial poll for which poems my DA pals think will make the school's literary magazine cut, and which ones they like the best. I know I don't exactly have fans, 'cause I suck, but if you like one of my poems a real lot, just nore me, or comment this journal.<br />Well, thanks for listening to me babble. Hopefully I'll go listen to someone else babble now as karma. Yay, Karma!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I've never been journal tagged before, and I'm not sure if I'll like it either... *shrugs* May as well.<br /><br />1.Write these rules.<br />2.Each tagged person must write 8 things about him/her-self.<br />3.And he/her has to write a journal about these things.<br />4.Finally he/her has to tag other 8 people.<br />5.Go to their dA's page and write they've been tagged.<br /><br />*1 I think family and friends are some of the most important joys of life. "GOD"(whatever your name may be) gave them to us, so I thank him for mine.<br />*2 I was raised on Rock Music, Redskins Football and(insert religion). I probably couldn't live without my music and I lose my voice the most after Skins games.<br />*3 I don't like accepting compliments... I never feel as though I deserve them<br />*4 I feel ashamed for trying to call myself an artist in the sense of drawing. It makes me feel like I'm taking away from the people who are really fantastic. I should probably stick to writing.<br />*5 If an angel came down and told me that I would marry my current boyfriend and we'd live together until we died of old age, I'd do a happy dance for 7 days straight<br />*6 My most recent accomplishment is being the only percussionist in my highschool's production of the Phantom Tollbooth Musical. I played somewhere between 12-20 intruments <br />*7 I don't think I will ever know what profession I will be; I'm actually waiting for a spontaneous sign to drop from the sky between now and my freshman year of college.<br />*8 I am totally obsessed with bears. This has been so since Sushi-chan asked me if Sake-kun looked like a teddy bear... and since I started liking him. <br /><br />~~~<br />Let's see... notes?<br />Um, (insert religion) was placed there because I like my religion, but I'm very openminded, and I wish everyone else was too. I know that isn't the case, so I try not to let my religious views be public, least someone is offended by my existance. But I am proud of my beleif, if not my "organized" religious structure.<br />Sushi-chan and Sake-kun are two of my friends from school... I may disclose their other names at a later date, but I don't feel like it.<br />~~<br />You deviants are now le tagged <br />:SoccerDragon247: :zoro-swordsman: :Terminatorshades18: :fullmetal091: :shugo608: :katiebug: :katana112: :Katara-sMoonWater:<br />~~<br />Oh yes, before I forget... Please go to TriaCiaLeonHeart's journal/ page and vote in her contest! I don't think many people have voted, and i hope its a fair competition(as in, if only three people vote, it doesn't seem "fair" per say, does it?)<br />~~<br />Well, within the next few days I'll be posting alot of work... there will probably be a new journal associated with it. I could tell you what I'm planning, but let's keep it a secreat for now. ^.^<br />~Guten nocht<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, this is basically an introduction to Amateur Athletic Poetry Union, my collection of poems written from about the Summer of Â06 until Winter Â07. that doesnÂt seem like a long time, but when I remember it, it felt like eonsÂ<br />Amateur Athletic Poetry Union is a pun on the AAU, a sports competition for the US. It has a lot of different sports; I doubt I could count them. One of the sports is flag football, which is what these poems sort of have to do with. The first one, ÂConfrontationÂ is the only obvious football one; the other poems were built around the same set of experiences, though.<br />IÂm extremely nervous about putting these poems up. Not many people have seen them; actually, I think the total is two or less (not including myself).  They were a locked away part of me, and some of my first poems. Before the Â05-Â06 school year, I hated poetry, and had no clue on how to write it. Then I learned about free verse, and my whole vision exploded and reformed itself (ÂMadness,Â says Jose). These poems are the start of that reformation, versus my new stuff, which is the middle stage.<br />I thought I* should also mention, for those who have already read one or two of the poems, how I put in Âwritten no later thenÂÂ . Except for one or two, I didnÂt date these poems originally. So, before editing them, I look at the computerÂs Âlast saved onÂÂ info to figure out the last time I worked on them. They could have been written months or days before*shrugs* I canÂt remember. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />I might make a gallery for the AAPU poems, but until then, they will be listed in this journal, and on the first one.<br />Note to those who will actually take the time to read my poems: These poems are interrelated, but do not have to be read in order. This is the suggested order. Though I do highly advise reading the last one Last. Thanks<br />Confrontation <a href="http://kamikazegeisha.deviantart.com/art/Confrontation-77001001">[link]</a><br />ThatÂs All I Ask <a href="http://kamikazegeisha.deviantart.com/art/That-s-All-I-Ask-77001292">[link]</a><br />Please Wait <a href="http://kamikazegeisha.deviantart.com/art/Please-Wait-77001537">[link]</a><br />Just Say Yes<a href="http://kamikazegeisha.deviantart.com/art/Just-Say-Yes-77001818">[link]</a><br />One of These Days<a href="http://kamikazegeisha.deviantart.com/art/One-of-These-Days-77002022">[link]</a><br />Your Last Poem<a href="http://kamikazegeisha.deviantart.com/art/Your-Last-Poem-77002420">[link]</a><br />IÂm under the impression that putting up too many poems at a time isnÂt good, because then the people that actually watch you will read them all in a row and get them all confused in a big deviation-blur. But, I really really wanted to get my old poetry up. ThereÂs a lot of it, so I wanted to get the bulk and the embarrassing (AAPU) out there. IÂm going to justify my hypocrisy today with this pledge: for every old poem I put up, I will write and put up a brand new poem. Lucky me, I have someone from the past 2 weeks IÂve been meaning to get up here <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />IÂll also let you in on a little secret; IÂm kind of hoping by putting the AAPU up so that you only see one bad poetry blur instead of dragging it out <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />~~~<br />IÂm probably going to put up 3-4 good poems today too. You should probably read those slowly, as to soak in all the poetry-goodness. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />Well, I think thatÂs it for my blurb today. As my second to last comment, IÂd like to add that when a poem called ÂSecurityÂ shows up, please read it; its one of my faves.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />And as my final words:<br />ÂJasmine TeaÂ<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Its been less then a month since my last journal entry, but it feels like alot has happened.<br />For instance we got a new bunny; her name is Poppi. She's very cute and eats alot. But on the other hand, we got Poppi because our first rabbit, Tobi, passed away. He didn't live with us long because the pet store people didn't tell us that rabbits needed hay. I'm still pretty sad about the whole thing. But one of my best friends was at my house the day it happened, and I don't know what I would have done without his support.<br /><br />But in other news, life is good. I finsished my evil photo essay(I might post some of the pictures from that on here later...), I made a really good pic and put it up on DA(Bonding: Protect Me), I finished a contest picture(same one), and I'm attempting to finish Chapter 1 of my fanfic.<br /><br />I'd like evryone to attempt to take a look at The Prolouge/ Chapter 1 of my Naruto fanfic. This will be my first fanfic, and in Chapter 1, there won't be too much about any of the Original Kishimoto-sensei Characters. IIts more of a chronicle of one behind-the-scenes ninja that's working for Orochimaru, as well as some of my theories about Otogakure, the Snake Summoning, and Curse Mark Jutsu. I'm planning on naming it "The Little Things Give You Away" or some version of that, due to the Linkin Park song; if you've ever read the lyrics, they sound like they could be sung by anyone of orochimaru's faithful followers to Orochimaru himself. its a very pretty song. I hope someone enjoys the fanfic and most people don't complain about over exposure of my Characters. Oh well.<br /><br />Well, I hope I can just crank out some more poems and artwork. I'm thinking of doing some snow theme poems next.<br /><br />Oh yes, and before I forget, i'm going to start working on a collection of pics entitled "Up Against the Wall". It has nothing to do with weird clothes store, but everything to do with Freshman Lit. Only my school friends will have a clue what I'm talking about, though...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Well, I'll be getting back to work on that fanfic now... so Oyasumi Nasai(Good Night)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Last night the Concert Band, String Orchestra and Jazz Band for my school had their Winter/Christmas Concert. The Orchestra was as awesome as ever, with an apperance by the Choir director, who was  playing a thousand percussion instruments at the same time; the Jazz Band played this beautiful song "Misty" while one of the other students sang it. The lyrics were very touching, and the vocalist was supreme. I suggest googe-ling ("Misty" by Erroll Garner) if you don't believe me.;<br />
Last but not least, the Concert Band, in which yours truly happens to be the percussion principle(I have no idea why, but I am<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />). We played our best ever, especially on "The Last Rose of Summer". A few weeks ago, another conductor came in and told us how we needed to put emotion into that song. We needed to put in love; its the last /rose/ of the /summer/, one of the best months for love. I didn't play many notes on the timpani, but I was able to put all my love into it this time, as did the rest of the band. It was fantastic.<br />
Well, there's your title explanation.^-^<br />
~~~~<br />
On another tangent, we have midterm exams this week. yay!!*sarcasm*  I should be studying, but I find studying too boring... and my journal needed to be updated. Which is such a bad excuse...*sighs*<br />
Hopefully, I'll have nothing to worry about, even though I'll worry my bottom off anyways.<br />
~~~<br />
I'm currently trying to work on some contests peices(even though one's due tonight) as well as my poetry. Perhaps you've seen my two newest ones, "The Knight" and "By the Phone"? If not, give them a shot; they're two of my best on DA, I think. Either way, I'm trying to produce one poem a week, and get some of my older stuff on here... though maybe I should be working on art...*shrugs*<br />
Also, I'm still wondering if anyone would read a Orochimaru-x-OC/female character chapter story. If so, post which character you think would be best. If not, well, tell me I'm a nutser person, thinking anyone will read it. All opinions are appreciated.^-^ I'll try to work on it over Winter break.<br />
~~~<br />
Also today, I got to go see my cousins and we made gingerbread houses out of grahmn(sp?) crackers and candy and icing!! Its been a family tradtion since before I was born, so I was really excited about going. Since about 3-4 years ago, I've been getting a bit more creative. This year, I have government building on top of a turtle. Its a total inside joke, I'm sorry if you don't get it (Jess, remember Math Resource last year?). Maybe i'll put pictures on DA *shrugs*<br />
~~~<br />
I guess I could talk about when I had my tea leaves interpretted, but I really have to study. So I'll save that for another day.<br />
PS: Mistletoe rocks.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have alot to do over my 5 day break(which is tooo short) hw-wise, but I want to do something else. I'm not really sure what to do though....<br />
I tried to do shading with cg stuffes...emphasis on "tried", here...<br />
I could work on my dying NaNo(if I finish it by 2008 I'll be happy)<br />
Try to get better at scanning and drawing...<br />
Or with writing.<br />
Ok, the last two or do-able, so now I just need a topic... any ideas??<br />
~~~~<br />
On another note, i was thinking of doing an OrochimaruxOriginalCharacter romance chapter story... Would anyone actually be interested??(Please post a reply, 'cause I won't do it unless someone might think of reading it.) Or maybe just a love story with orochimaru and anybody.... 'cause it'd be interesting.<br />
~~~<br />
My sister joined DA!!! I was blown out of my mind when she asked me how to set it up. I was thinking, "Wait, /my/ sister??" But yeah. she's here. Somewhere....<br />
<br />
Ok, well, I'm tired of talking...I mean typing... yup.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, tonight's the night before my school's homecoming! I'm so excited. I'm planning on drawing someone in my homecoming dress. Then after the event, I'm gonna steal the pics of me and my date and draw them. Because I can(well, "can attempt to" is more like it).<br />
Hmm... as soon as i find the thumb drive, I will be uploading the avatar i made w/ corel painter. I'm not good w/ my wacom pen tablet, and that avatar is the first peice of decent work I've created with it so far. I'm trying to make more art using the tablet and more pics of the character in my avatar... I hope everyone likes them both.<br />
BTW: below it says playing with a teddy bear. I found a bear wearing a scarf while shoping. The scarf is almost the same color as my dress!! Its sooo cute!!<br />
Well, i'm hyper, but its 11 at night....<br />
<br />
Edit:12:02AM: I just put up the avatar, which was originally in 100x100 pixel format... so now it doesn't look as good....*sighs*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow its been...a really long time.  I'm sorry for anyone who cared about my absense for upseting you but my computer broke. And now deviantart shows up in white with Arial black font *shudders*. Stupid computer.  For any announcements, I'm not allowed to mess with the scanner, still. <br />
I actually completed some decent peices of artwork, though. And some more poems.<br />
Ok, I'm dead tired and can't think, but I just wanted to say I'm back... so... yeah... *hits the desk and falls asleep*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I have projects galore going on, but I'm working on stuff for DA in between. It'll go back to being my sole time waster soon though(Which is a good thing by the way <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />)<br />

<br />
To go on a ranting limb, I hate projects!!! I really really do!! Because they sit in the back of your head, telling you to go upstairs and work on it. And you just got off the bus!! As I sit here and type this up, my conscience is egging me on! Oh, the agony!!! <br />
Well, my brain went dead... I think I need food... <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[ Well, I havent been on Deviant for very long, yet I dont even have one picture up.  I blame myself, but heres another reason: I cant work the stupid scanner.  My friend winx is letting me use hers, but I have a feeling the quality could be better if I used the one that my mom has.  If only shed let me mess with it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Until I can use the scanner, Im gonna post my poetry/assorted writing.  In all honesty, Im a much better writer then I am an artist. But I try!  Yay to all those can draw and do, and Yay! To all those who write and do! And a super Yay! For those who not only exercise their main talents, but try to develop the deformed seed of a talent that the Great Being has given them. Keep on trying, and Youll succeed!! Ok, now I sound like Tohru....<br />
Well, until we meet again.<br />
(PS: this was supposed to be posted about 2 weeks ago, I just havent gotten around to it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />) <br />
PSS: /The Radio/ is my mp3 on random. With all the music I listen to, its as good as/better then a real radio<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
