well. instructional classes anyway. exams loom next week. I have my two hardest ones on monday, back to back! D: animal evolution and biochemistry. I'm pretty okay with biochemistry...but animal evolution is kinda up in the air...

then it's natural history of the hawaiian islands on thursday. ick i don't know about that one either.

in the mean time i have this paper that i need to write that's not getting written because i'm writing this journal and i need to work on my final collaborative print in relief printmaking....gah.

and today. OMG today. so much to do. I have to go get saltwater from the waikiki aquarium for lab and then i have to drive back and forth every which way. i probably should be doing something important right now but...i needed some time to myself. just a little bit.

artwise. i have stuff. really i do. it's just.... not uploaded. yet. i am going to post a photo of all the pins i made and are available to buy (;D) it's $2 each, free shipping. XD okay enough of this shameless advertisement.

I'm jouning the osusuki clan. it's *kesame's idea to take over a portion of deviantart. i haven't created any characters as of late... i haven't really been doing anything artwise as of late... except for relief prints. but yeah. this seems like a good excuse. I am joining the Nishikigoi family because let's face it. I. LOVE. KOI. my mom recently killed my 2 prized butterfly koi... -sigh-

anywho. i think i'm hungry. i'll see you all later.

I thought the saying went april showers may flowers or whatever. granted, in Hawai'i it's rain instead of snow BUT STILL. Everything is just wet. WET. IN MARCH.


And today the weather decided to be hot. and dry. and sunny. one of those days whenyou say to yourself..."hmm self. it seems to be a nice day to go to the beach" or whatever. But still. you could see the gloom lurking in the distance, waiting to spring out at some unsuspecting passerby and go BOOOOOGABOOGABOOGA!!

yeah that's right. i went there.


Sorry there's not much to post in the way of art. i've not the time right now to produce anything substantial and i need to take pictures of the pins i've done and i'll upload everything from my relief printmaking class later. like at the end of the semester. XD

You'll at least get a smile outta this. ^^

So for 2009 I've been rekindling my latent Tenchi kick. man it was my absolute FAVORITE anime back when it was still on Toonami. Those were the good days man. That was when Tom was still awesome, (I'm sorry but not even Steve Blum can rescue the current version) Gundam and Outlaw Star were still there and when cartoons in general weren't so pansy.

I've also retaken up sculpting. We'll see how that turns out. I'mma finish this before the break is over damnit!

In the mean time, this year I've actually made some resolutions OTHER than not to make anymore resolutions since that's the one I make every year.

1. To lose weight/get back in shape/stop being flabby. I used to be lean and strong back in the day. Now I'm just a pansy. NO MORE. I don't care what my neurons tell me I'mma get some decent exercise if it kills me. I'mma ramp it back up to at least 150 pushups and crunches by the end of the year!

2. To eat better. Not necessarily more often, but at least healthier. With some junk food allowances every now and then. X]

3: Take my pills everyday as prescribed, when able (since there's no pills at home on the weekend). yeah... I'm bad at that. XD

4: Not complain so much.

5: To think about others before myself more (as much as I try I sometimes slip...) and about what I do and say.

oh and I guess this one's important too.

6. To keep these resolutions. ^^'

um... that's it for my life, how's yours?

Okay I lied. There's plenty to do. Stuff I need to do. Stuff I want to do.

I want to draw, I want to play my viola, I want to read, I want to make more pins, I want to play Harvest Moon TOT, I want to go to the swap meet, I want to go star gazing, I want to brush up on kickboxing, I want to take a long, long nap.

I need to research crayfish, I need to check my email, I need to go Christmas shopping, I need to stop typing, I need to use my tablet more, I need to upload all my intaglio prints, I need to clean my turtle pond, I need to wait up for my sister in law, I need to make more pins, I need to take a long, long nap.

I'm bored and lonely. I normally enjoy respite from all the people on the UH campus. stupid college kids. not all of them. just the stupid ones. But living with friends all this time has made me...become accustomed to people. and I'm lonely. with nothing to preoccupy me.

Furthermore, it is believed that I have carpal tunnel. GASP. no for realz this time. Whenever I lift something heavy or pull on something a shooting pain just invades all the tensors up in the forearm. I haven't taken anatomy so I don't know what they're called off the top of my head but whatever. All I know is that it hurts. It's rather upsetting, but I haven't gone to a doctor. luckily, or unluckily however you want to see it, it's worse in my left hand. -shrug- I'll probably get it checked out with my doctor later. WHEN I"M OVER THE FACT THAT SCHOOL"S DONE FOR THE YEEEARRR!!!

If all goes accordion to plan, I'll be uploading shortly as one of my prints are already sold and I need to contact the person who bought it.





but not now. i'mma go....do something unproductive.


oh and happy holidays.

Name a character that you know I write/draw or have written/drawn, and I'll tell you:

a. What initially prompted me to write/draw them.
b. One of their best traits.
c. One of their worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write/draw the character.
e. The moment where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans to write/draw the character in the near future.



HAH. I dunno if anyone will ask me any of this but I thought it's be interesting to have this tidbit on my visible side of the world.

I have made about....10 pins? 5 keypins from WEWY (cos I'm lazy) the player pin, the o-pin, happy beam, and 6 of my own? okay I lied. 14. but still. I'm getting there. I'll post them all once I finish the set.

OH and yesterday I was walking into my room and got stabbed by a toothpick. : D one of those square pointy ones. it went into my foot about a centimeter? fun times. The first thing that went through my mind was that scene after Stewie vaults himself into some sort of cabinet with glass doors and there's a giant shard of glass in his forehead and he screams "DO I TAKE IT OUT OR DO I LEAVE IT IN?!" several times. Luckily, it stuck in the particular spot on my foot that scarred over years ago because of another horrendous foot related injury. That resulted in a thick layer of calloused skin which meant less bleeding from this toothpick of death. D:

In other news, I haven't found the time or dedication to do anything in particular. I was talking to ~wings33 a while ago about stuff involving one of those timelines where you show improvement in your art. maybe i'll stick one of those up... add some color to my otherwise droll collection of "art". ...

I know I'm not very popular but I need to spread this word. *Timberwolf4u is an amazing photographer and owner of a non-profit wolfdog sanctuary, taking in abandoned wolfdogs and giving them the home they deserve.

Wolfdogs are bred because people want a tame wolf for a pet. However, they are still very wild and take a lot more than a leash to control. Wolfdogs are abandoned all across the country to survive in the wild, where they can't because of the human handicap. :devtinberwolf4u: takes in these wolfdogs and gives them sanctuary to the end of their days. However, with the economy in the state it is, money's tight and he needs your help to maintain and update his enclosures before the rainy season erodes his barriers away. You can help him out by buying some of his prints. He's lowering all his prices on his prints too. If you can find it feasible, help him out. Visit his journal:

thanks everyone!

oh and I have the 1 1/4 in. pin maker! If any of you want pins I'll be posting what designs I have done now. I have my designs and I also have WEWY designs. I'm asking $2 per pin or if you want a custom pin talk to me those are $3-5 depending. Discounts for orders of 10 or more or on 5 or more if it's a custom!

and continue the story!!!

yep. back in school. thought i'd ought to commemorate the even with a journal update. blegh. what a rat's race. seriously. i didn't even have the chance to do very much over the summer and now it's gone.


pretty much only got sketches at this point. mom spilt dishsoap on my tablet and stylus. HOPEFULLY it still works. it wasn't a ajor spill but some might have gone into the gap between the "eraser" and the pen which could render the eraserpart of the stylus useless. i rather like that function... the soap also got on my sketchbook but just mostly on the cover and the bottom portion. thankfully i usually don't fill the entire bottom of any given page.

that thar bunny board, the next colorful thing to be done, is pretty much 50% and i still hesitate on it. i figured out that grass and i aren't the best of friends and that i should probably have thought about the fact that black GLOSSY spray paint has extremely low adhesion. common sense right? heh. wrong. so many worlds of wrong. why that never occurred to me in the first place is BEYOND me.


...maybe that's why they say college is a necessity these days. it's not so much so that you learn things for your job. it's so you learn the common sense that comes with it. now if only they paid me for it.


oh and does anyone else have problems with the mood changer thingy down there? it's not all nicely laid out and telling me which is which. so pretty much the mood you see up there is random and may or may not represent me at any given time. : D


EDIT

So I've been pondering this for a long time and finally decided to try this out. I may not finish it, just like the other one, but I hope to expand my horizons at the very least. XD

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Draw each and every one of the animals on this list. There is no time limit. It doesn't have to be in order, it doesn't even have to be anthro/humanoid. It doesn't even really have to be fully colored, it can be a pencil sketch if you'd prefer. Just give them a try. Not only will you push yourself in the process, you will learn about more of the amazing and exciting animals this world has to offer! Feel free to post this in your journal or webpage to show your progress, share it with friends, or simply use for inspiration. Some of these WILL be difficult, but you can do it! I tried not to make any of these so obscure that they wouldn't have much information or pictures of them. Some of these are also extinct, but all of them have artistic interpretations and pictures of their skeletons available on the internet or in books.

I pay them $100 to back up my entire computer before they do whatever it is I paid them another $260 to do and they forgot to back up my second drive and now IT"S ALL GONE.


4 folders with hundreds of pictures are GONE. It's probably a good thing I don't remember what was in those folders otherwise I'd be even more pissed. IT"S ALL GONE. i remember what was in a few of those folders. pics i took at the honolulu aquarium. pics i took at the honolulu zoo. pics of people and relatives.


GONE.





and what's worse i have only myself to blame because i failed to back everything up myself. but i thought that by paying them $100 i'd get everything back. they ripped out my primary hard drive, and left my secondary hard drive blank. BLANK. those bastards. it's all fucking gone. i'mma go down there tomorrow and give them a piece of my mind. and if they charge me for it i'll probably have to maul them.

there is no feeling in the topmost digit of my pointer finger.

see the way i hold knives and pencils and the like puts a lot of pressure on my pointer finger. a little too much in this case... it's like. i wrapped my finger in scotch tape and never took it off. i wonder if i'll ever get it back. luckily, i don't need it to feel my bow for my viola or the keys on my piano when i play. ^^

in other news i was actually tagged. i didn't just swipe it like i normally do. XD

DIFFERENT.


whether or not you know me, i tend to be rather resistant to change in that i'm too lazy to explore new things. this whole thing looks neat and it made going through my messages and deviantions quicker...

i think i like it here. oO then again, the other side of me is freaking out because of the newness of it all. X]





anywho. i went on a little excursion to the National Zoo and the National Aquarium at Baltimore. expect to see whole new series of pics soon. apologies in advance for the spam. personally. i enjoy eating the stuff.

i have this odd pain in the left side of theabdomen. it's not... normal. it's like side pains or cramps or whatever but...not. it won't go away and i just want to roll over and never move again. and i'm dizzy like. all the time now. hmm. fine time for this to happen. i'm flying to DC in about a week. well if it's something lethal and you don't hear from me ever again, here's a revelation as to what might have killed me. X]

uhm. i mapped out what predators, scavengers, and prey i have in each environment. i've got A LOT to go to balance out these ecosystems. srsly folks ecology is a horrible HORRIBLE thing to need to take into account when trying to make an entire convincing natural world. and then i thought, wow. it's like i'm living in my own little world that i don't want to grow up out of. is it really worth my time or am i just going to look back on this later and laugh at myself?

whatever. it's my escape and occupation for now. we'll see where this goes, if it goes anywhere at all. all this drafting is being done in my school notebook so it's probably not worth your time for me to upload it. i'm planning to put it all in a nice, orderly book once i fill in all the major niches (anything of the arthropod, anellid, mollusc, fungus, or generally anything not in the phyla chordata nature not included) of each environment. but i've got a ways to go. if you'd like to contribute a creature or two feel free. i'll find a niche for it.


oh and i decided to drop genetics for avian biology. in doing so i'm also able to take...INTAGLIO PRINTMAKING in addition to 2D comp. we'll see how this turns out..

as per usual, many of the eggs were already dead but mom found two that were still alive, premies if you will. poor babies. and there's nothing we can do for them ut watch them fade away...



so here's to you, the three of you, whose short start life made the way for more to come.

But dude. The end of the story just leaves you with more questions. D: i guess that's what the after story is for. I'm glad it exists since I get a second chance at finishing it. oh and at the end i said i still don't care about people...cos i don't. i wonder if there's an alternate ending had I said yes.... i guess i'll have to play the last day through again.

at any rate i've lost ambition in regards to the whole world thing. the buzz i had last week has been killed by papers and exams. damn buzzkills. which reinds me. i should be studying for an archeology exam right now. X] i just want it all to be over. i want a vacation from this summer vacation. :/

I"M IN DESPAIR.
TECHNOLOGY THAT WON"T DO WHAT IT"S SUPPOSED TO DO THUS ROBBING ME OF MY SANITY HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR!

oh and uh i have to take organic chemistry again. that also leaves me in despair.



omg. OH EM GEE. I thought they'd never stop. EVAR. They just kept coming and coming and coming. like the energizer bunny ruled a world of no. except...coming and not....going.

and their dynamite....what a lie.


Poor Zack. He looked like he was getting sooo tired. But during the battle he gained 4 levels and I watched the phoenix dmw twice. : D after i used a phoenix down for raise D : which i didn't use. : D

D :

I dunno. all in all the whole ordeal was easy...but SOOO LONG. it took me like. an hour. it was madness.


and what did i get for it? what did i get for battling for an hour and using like. 30 ethers? a Mug materia. WHUT.


on the other side of the world, my knee hurts again and i'm overweight according to that wii fit thing. i dunno i was doing so well until...last weekend. then it's been going down...er uphill from there.


and i've been insulted.

I have a deep respect for indigenous peoples. but guys, don't attack modern science. We're there for YOU. to give you unbiased objective answers to the crackpot theories of yesteryear. don't bash us. we can give you answers. all we need to find is the evidence. which is the hard part. but just because we haven't found it yet please don't call us false and myths based upon the biased religiously founded crackpots of the past.

I am, among other things, a scientist (student be it as it may). I may not have published anything but when you insult the principle of science, you insult me.



oh but on the other hand here's an art update. : D

I've been working on the typography of my world, part 1. 1 part for each continent I suppose. it's turning into such a huge project....maybe if i can't wring my brains of anything else i'll... ask for...stuff.......... oO there's a few things that i need to figure out before i can upload it tho.

=the name of the planet
=the name of the human city...and pretty much everything about the human city.
=the name of the continent D:

yeah i'm dry out of names. and or ideas.

but i've also been populating the continent with organisms. : D aside from wolves and akenzas i have things like pudgeons, tarses foxes, jaxis, vengebirds, selets, and...a semi fluffy cat like thing i haven't found a name for yet. like i said my brain's dry. i've been sketching them out in my uh... archaeology notes... but i have this neat sketchbook made of recycled paper to give that rustic, old world paper feel without me having to drench the book in tea, coffee, or ink or what have you. X]

and i'm still inking in that one thing.... i've just been jumping from project to project so there's nothing finished. ahhh productivity.


so i guess my next few uploads can be considered series 1 of...well i don't know how many "continents" i've discovered...so....1 of x.

i'll upload some WIP scans. if i get to it.

mom barged into my room and pretty much threw it at me. and by that i mean i was sleeping, she barged in, yelled "i found it!" put it on my laptop and said goodnight.

^^





I LOST MY PENCIL.




okay so it's a petty issue but I bonded with this pencil. It's a very important (not to mention mildly pricey pencil i think it was $8 or something....) It's my primary black .3 Staedtler Mechanical Drafting Pencil and it's been through so much. Everything from drawing to etching fur into clay to poking at miniscule sea life growing on a tile in a petri dish. I even left it in the Bio computer lab once. Seriously it's done a lot since a year ago when i bought it.


BUT NOW I CAN"T FIND IT.


I'm pretty sure it can only be in one of 3 places. My dad's car, the apartment we stayed in on the weekend, or in the suitcase we took. Since it's not in the suitcase that narrows it down but the other two I can't check until....THE WEEKEND. My mom had stabbed herself with it while she was shuffling through my things and she apparently put it somewhere. and then she got all upset at me and yelled at me for asking her about it. apparently there's something that pissed her off at work and she was looking for a scapegoat.

I'm so lost without it. It's like my buddy. It's that strange bond you harvest with your favorite whatever it is. So for now i'm forced to use this .5 silver zebra pencil i found in the donation bin at the end of the school year. it's not bad. but it's not my primary pencil...


I'm only thankful that I haven't yet lost my white .5 sumo pencil. that one is so irreplaceable i can't even imagine what i'd do if i lost it.


so now in addition to this lonely, feeling of impending doom looming in my chest, i've now lost my pencil. I lead such a sad pitiful existence don't I? I'm not particularly materialistic but....it's my pencil. of all the zillions of pencils and pens I own I just had to go and lose this one.





wow. i'm a pencil freak aren't i?


my pencil's left me in despair!!! D :

RULEZ!!

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person should post 8 facts of themselves.
3. Tagged people should write a journal\blog about these facts.
4. In the end tag and name 8 people.
5. Go to their dA pages and comment saying that they are tagged.
6. No tag backs >=3

here we goooooo

1. Sitting or standing in excess of 1 hour makes my entire body scream at me.

2. I'm apparently the 10,000th visitor to something according to this stupid dumbass ad flashing in my face inb the DA ad bar.

3. I'd rather make something or fix it than buy it if I can.

4. I exercize with WII FIT...PHOOLS.

5. I pretty much live at the Kunia GameStop. The people there (and one of them at the Hawaii Kai one) all know me. I love videogames but I hardly have the time to play. :/

6. I got a D+ in OChem which is the first D+ IN MY LIFE. I'll NEVER get another D anything and I'll NEVER take OChem again. I'll fight you.

7. I have three or four jobs and none of them pay me... >:[

8. FIGHT ME.


People that I apparently need to tag: whatever. FIGHT ME.


As for that update thinger. There's a black kitten living in my back yard! it has green eyes and it really tiny...about 7 weeks old now. It showed up like. a few days ago and has been hanging out ever since. One day I'll snag a picture of it if I can.

and also, i've had this...emminent feeling of doom just sorta lingering in my chest... the kind that sorta depresses you for no reason...sorta. maybe it's the vog. either way it's upsetting. nothing i do can bring me into some sort of productive, happy mode. because when i'm productive, i'm happy. unless it involves school then i'm just mad. all the time. i've played out a million and one missions in crisis core and i finally got that damn magic pot and tonberry into the dmw. you'd think that that in and of itself would be enough to erase the doomage. but it apparently isn't. i can't even bring myself to finish my pack logo/tattoo/decal design that i've been putting off since exams began. maybe it's because i've been forgetting to take my pain pills... i'd better go take like. 3. right now.

but yeah. maybe it's the 800 mile later depression that didn't happen on time. (some of you know what i mean). maybe it's because wii fit told me i was 35. (i still think i'm 91) I dunno. it could also be that haunting and recurring realization of how horribly off i am on an island that wants nothing but to suck the money out of your pockets before they even leave the bank of origination. or maybe it's because i've lost my vision as to what i want to do for the rest of my life. or maybe it's that damn d+. yeah. i get depressed over grades. deeply.

and the fact that i don't know how to spell emminent depresses me. gah i used to know how to spell. when it was important to know. i was like. everyone's spell check. gah i've fallen so low.

granted I don't know if I did well on it or anything and I'll more than likely be getting a D or D+ in the class and it burns my eyes and hurts my soul. If this happened any earlier in my lifetime I probably would have jumped off a building or have been shunned by all who came into contact with me thus driving me off the building OR I would have dropped out of school and moved into the mountains never to be seen by human eyes again. So. As horrified as I am with myself, I have come to terms and will try to refrain from doing any of the aforementioned. Whether or not you who are reading this care is as your discretion but I love you anyway. C:

OH and also. I was almost involved in a car accident at about...i dunno 1030pm a few days ago? I was running on autopilot so I don't even know how I was driving or where I was at the time. Hell my eyes were just half open and Arby (my truck) was running on cruise control, pretty much driving for me. There was a white van in front of me so I'm not all too sure what happened but a black truck cut in front of the white van and apparently rear-ended the white jeep cherokee (it looked like one anyway) and the crunch on metal woke me up. The van in front of me swerved out of our lane and I narrowly missed him by swerving into the right lane. I had to slow down pretty abruptly to avoid the van so I'm glad the guy in back of me (I think it was a Mini) was paying attention. In the mean time the white Cherokee that was hit had spun a 360 as the black truck pushed it to the left. I apparently ran over bits of car as I drove by. It was horrifying and thank God no one was seriously hurt. It doesn't help though that now my mom pretty much doesn't want me driving EVAR again.

-sigh- I have finals so I really shouldn't be here. Or anywhere for that matter. See you in a while.

OMG THWARTED AGAIN.

I CAN"T TAKE MATH 140 for the 7th time in my LIFE. GAH.

so instead I'm taking biochemistry and animal physiology and genetics and art. blah.
and now i can't find my pencil...





Wow. I've been hit with so many aches and pains in the last three weeks I'm so confused.


It started with a cold I caught just over a month ago. It was the first actual cold I had caught in YEARS. YEARS I TELL YOU. I'm already on meds for Fibromyalgia but I stopped it in case it would react with the cold medicine I was taking. So naturally the pain in the back and knees returned with full force. I got over the cold and all was okay

THEN just over A WEEK LATER I catch yet ANOTHER cold. This one was so bad I had to skip my Monday classes, I couldn't hold the phone to my face, and I had a crazy fever with shivering and cold sweat. My mom dragged me out of bed and to the hospital only to wait in the waiting room for an hour to be told that I should just sleep it off. Nastiest cold I caught in a long long time. Again, stopped the FM meds and those pains returned once again.

but I'm not done yet. That was the normal stuff. Shortly thereafter I have an ear ache and possible ear infection. It hurt to swallow and eat. ick. I got some drops and luckily I didn't have to see the doctor yet again.

AND NOW. now that the ear ache is gone and the colds have abated I can't close my jaw without crazy pain on the right jaw joint close to the bottom jaw. So I cart myself to the dentist who says it could be anything as serious as TMJ to someting as simple as a pulled muscle. All I know is that I CAN"T EAT.


BUT in other news, I just acquired Okami for the Wii and I look forward to getting around to playing it maybe, particularly after finals are over. I also picked up Mario Kart Wii and put some money down on Wii Fit. I'm getting fat around the midsection and apparently my mom says my thighs are thicker than hers (what a lie....) and the Wii Fit looks like some cool, calorie burning fun without the embarrassment of the gym. : D I'm not the pinnacle of physical fitness like I used to be so I need to out my gamer side to work.

Anywho, I'm off to finish my FamR Extra credit. my portfolio's due and I'm so excited to be almost done and to be sleeping in my own bed.


and brace yourselves folks. the last O chem test of my life (hopefully) looms two weeks from now...

Basically, the Orphaned Works Law that they've been trying to pass in the United States since 2006 strips us of our copyright...rights. Every thing from a stick figure doodle in your notebook to home movies to final finished works will become available to ANY art thief to LEGALLY use.

EVERYTHING on DeviantArt is at risk. The ENTIRE art industry will be affected by this if the law is passed. No one will make any money, no more commissions, no more prints for sale because EVERYONE can use it without your permission and under US Law it will be legal.


MORAL OF THE LAW:
You have to pay to own your art. Art theft is now legal. Period.


The law is still a bill. So it's still going through legislation right now. Please. PLEASE. If you're a United States citizen PLEASE contact your senators and representatives and tell them this is immoral.

To keep our rights we'd have to spend thousands of dollars just to say that you own your work that you put down on paper or digital canvas.


THIS IS REAL PEOPLE. As far as I've looked this is NOT a hoax. Don't take this lightly because if you're reading this journal, this law more than likely affects YOU. Don't let the government take advantage of artists, human apathy, and general lack of money. Protect yourself and your art.


To read more about this bill, just google "Orphan Works"

There are more points to this bill and there are probably upsides to it but I don't see it. Maybe you will. If you have an opinion or analysis that can change mine, please. feel free to comment.


Now, I'm not sure how this affects us on DeviantArt since...well our names and copyrights are plastered on every page EVAR. but I believe that this bill is saying that in order to claim the copyright to our image we must register it and pay for the copyright with a private sector registry which puts it into a searchable database....

If you get more traffic and pageviews than I do, please post the link in a journal.

~wings33 and ~fairytaledreams have gone off to Japan for a while and I'm back at home holding down the fort, eating 5 day old sushi and worshipping the cat.

BUT that's not the part that's been nuts.






see. last week, i dunno wednesday. EVERYTHING happened. I went back to Bio lab and our lab was a huge PHAIL. the damn acrylamide didn't bother to polymerize and the proteins would run through the replacement gel because the apparatus apparently wasn't sending an electrical charge through the wire and into the buffer. FOR NO REASON. all the other SAME pieces of equipment worked fine with everyone else. but nooooooooo. and the sad thing is, my group always has really good gels and results. what happened this time is beyond me.

and i didn't print out the lab for that day because i didn't have my printer. BUT before i get to that let's talk about summer school registration.

so i'm going through all the undergrad requirements to graduate. I know i need to take precalc BUT FOR THE FOURTH SEMESTER i've been thwarted. not because of chemistry this time but because I'm not going to be on the island when it's in session. so. now I'm a junior in college and i STILL have not taken a math class. I also couldn't take many of the classes I wanted to such as "The Study of Water" and Medicinal Botany. So instead I have two easy classes that I hope to get A's in so I can boost that GPA of mine.

so getting back to the printer. I took it from the dorms back to the apartment so that I could print things. in some odd turn of events and in my perpetual absentminded state i lost my room key. and then on monday i filed for a new one, paid the system $100 and went on my merry way. and TODAY in the parking lot what should I find lying on the ground in the stall I parked in but my lost key. so now i've wasted $100. amazing. fantastic.

also. I'm campaigning to be in ASUH again. student government for UH. and i'm running on a slate. i also happen to be their graphic designer. So I'm asked to make a shirt design that's marketable and that would promote our slate. so I do. i'll post it in a few minutes because i'm actually rather happy with it. and then the president tells me to lose the tree and make it simpler. so i do. then i make him 3 different flyers that I have to revise 3 different times. and now the guy who was going to print our shirts is having a fight with the chick who is our connection. so now we're reduced to iron on transfers which are going to suck.

GAH. I just need a break for just... a few hours to sit. and do NOTHING.


and is anyone else annoyed by the ads here on DA when you're posting something? I don't know if it's just me but whenever an ad changes the cursor goes away and I'm not typing anymore.


maybe it's just me.

From ~wings33

1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

My Facts:

1. There's an internal blood war in my veins between the Japanese hillbillies and the Chinese rice patty workers.

2. The only anime I ever liked enough to buy the series' on DVD was Tenchi and all branches and spawn of that series.

3. I can break into your house, your drawers, your safes, your suitcases and your lockers but won't do so unless I'm asked or obliged to.

4. Name a movie, something that EVERYONE ELSE and their GRANDMOTHER has seen. 9 of 10 times I haven't seen it.

5. I am a proud loyalist to the Hewlett-Packard empire. All of my computer-related hardware is HP from my printer to my webcam. And if I had a choice, I'd choose to buy HP hardware over any other brand out there. Don't get me wrong, I'm as cheap as my Chang blood implies (lit'rally), but I won't hesitate to spend a little more if it's from HP.

6. I have an EXTENSIVE pokemon card collection with over 5000 cards. Trust me. there's a lot. I spent a lot more than I'm pleased with on that enterprise.

7. There are 3 computers running in my room at any given time I'm there and they all have a different purpose. -GEEK and all around technology fool- they make my room hot.

8. There isn't a brand of dog food or biscuit I haven't tried or eaten. Okay that's a lie. I haven't eaten Kirkland brand dog food or that stuff you get from the isle in Wal-Mart or anything excessively cheap or expensive. I've tried every type of Nutro, Eukanuba, Iams, Newman's Own, Chicken Soup, Science Diet, Skippy, Mighty Dog, Purina, Alpo, Natural Balance Dry and Canned Food, Natural Balance Rolls, Nature's Choice, Buddy Biscuits, Dingos, Scooby Snacks, Snausages. To sum it up, if my dog had ever eaten it, I ate it too.

spring break's just about over...

so here's to the final push before school's out! let's see how far we've come.

so. i'm playing the 15 minute brawl and i'm like. this is cool. no problem. i can handle this.


THEN Donkey Kong CLAPS my face into OBLIVION with just 2 minutes left!!

AHHHHH.

...
.
.
.
.
.
.

AHHHH.





and with that thar beat 100 people in endless brawl? the highest i ever got was 66. THEY EDGE GUARD LIKE THE DICKENS. and that 100-man brawl in under 4 minutes? yeah i got my ass handed to me at 5 minutes. i must suck a lot or something but dude. DUUUUUUUDE. and my nunchuck keeps tweaking so i ended up playing with the wii-mote sideways. it's not too bad. but every so often my hand would cover the little sensor thingy and then i wouldn't move. guh. maybe i'll bust out the gamecube controllers that are technically not mine to put an end to this wireless nonsense.

and no surprise here but i'm IN LOVE WITH WOLF O'DONNELL. he even jingles when he walks. ^^ CHAINS= if i get around to it...since i do hafta finish reading the odyssey, come up with a presentation on sports... and study some o chem, you can look forward to some wolf fan art. ^^ yes. that's how much i love him. i don't do fan art often. MUAHAHAHAHA. his landmaster is kickass too. STARWOLF FTW -and starfox is an amazing game too...from my childhood no less. back when it was cool to be in color-

speaking of fan art i should get around to doing that thar ookami fan art.


oh and update on the website. all the bios for the main pack are done. i'm working on world, continent and country names, a map of sorts, and profile pics in pencil, but it'll take me some time to color them out in photoshop. guh. i can't keep track of it all. i'll more than likely have the bios for the others up by the end of tonight since that's not hard to do.

BRAWL!

march 9th. the day of reckoning. if by now you haven't heard of this from either ~wings33 or ~fairytaledreams well then now you're hearing it from me.

'cept i didn't post this on that day...(yesterday)

but yes. many things happened on the day of reckoning. MANY THINGS. such as BRAAAAWWWWWLLLL! MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. although i could not get 2 copies from gamestop, (one for me one for ftd) i did manage to get my reserved one and one from Toys R Us. Naturally I then proceeded to the Schleich figures where I acquired an okapi and a panda.

AND as the final thing on the day of reckoning (after the AFTERMATH show on NGC) i updated meh website! ^^ it's somewhat prettier than it was before since i actually sat down and crafted a banner/theme of sorts. but it's all kinds of far from done. all of the links in the nav bar will lead you to a 404 and i haven't gotten to what i actually want to do with the text/main portion of it.

but i'm getting there. just not this week since there's 2 disastrous exams looming over my head.

and so. day of reckoning i bid you adieu. WEEK OF EXAMS i send unfortunate greetings and I hope for some luck.

yeah so instead of doing organic chemistry like a smart college student -facepalm- i noticed the massive amount of cold press illustration board in my closet. it's all left over from last semester's art class. one LARGE board...30x40 inches i think. and several smaller scrap pieces. so. in an effort to use AT LEAST the scrap pieces i'mma delve into the world of ACEO's.

i'm not good at anything or anything but...i've always admired the ACEO's of greater artists than I such as *khaosdog tho i'm not one to say much. cos. i don't say much of anything. i'm one of those. if-i-say-something-you're-one-of-the-most-amazing-people-i've-ever-seen/met/admired people. otherwise i keep to myself. X]

but yeah. ACEO's. coldpress was also apparently designed for dry media....so...maybe i'll delve into acrylics at another day and age......when/if i ever learn how to paint...x.x

my first set i'm aiming for 8. since that's how many can be cut out of one strip.

COLLECTING Schleich FIGURES!!!

so...these are little plastic figures of various animals that are AMAZINGLY accurate. i went to toys r us and bought a wolf and a swan. the wolf cos. well. it's a wolf. and the swan because of the wings. you can see all the feathers and i mean ALL the feathers. it's amazing.

so. i suggest if you want to learn the anatomy and musculature of a variety of animals including a plethora of horse breeds (AND DINOSAURS) go out and get yourself one of these! they probably have a website...maybe....

i think i'mma get an okapi and an andalucian stallion next. ^^ or maybe the black mustang. THE POSSIBILITIES!


and i came THIS CLOSE -> | | to buying a brand new quad core hp 8330f desktop! :C my dino's been given a second chance. poor baby. X]


It went on sale today and I bought it!!!!


and in the mean time.

Spent the ENTIRE day (9:30-5) at the Honolulu Zoo with ~fairytaledreams (tho it woulda been awesome if ~wings33 and/or =gw33t3r-love was there) being all. Photographer-y. Yeah. It's always been a goal of mine to spend an entire day at the zoo at my own pace. (which is generally a slow one).

It was hot. It was dry. It was a LOOOONG walk. (more than 14000 steps according to Pikachu) so I'm not sure if that would have appealed to either of the aforementioned beloved deviants. D: anyway.

she and i went picture crazy with my relatively new camera resulting in many pretty pictures. MANY. I think we took over 200 pics? i dunno. out of those i chose a little over 30 to upload here.


BUT


before you run away in horror and never speak to me again for flooding your deviations box. I will upload them in a series on different days this month. Birds will be the first dump. Then Reptiles. Then Mammals. I might hafta halve these too if the groups are big enough...

These dumps consist of REALLY pretty pictures or pictures I personally like. I hope you like them too. ^^ These are by no means all the pics I took. so if there's something you'd like to see that I happen to have then drop me a line and I'll see what i can do. If there's something you want that I don't have....well. that just gives me another excuse to go back to the zoo for no reason. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA.

please note. i must go back for the lions, tigers, and hyenas. and a couple more birds. yeah.

i have several more birds, a showboating meerkat or two. i whole bunch of other lizards and skinks. a stork. the top of a hyena's head and a couple more lazy lionesses. X]


I won't watermark these pics since i don't think they're good enough to steal. BUT. I did spend a lot of time and effort trynna capture these pics so theft is not appreciated. thanks.

THIS WAS YOUR WARNING. here goes the dump. ^^

That was fun. I await further instruction.

i open the door and am blasted with pouring rain. absolute sheets of water pelted the side of the building and was cascading down the side like a crazy misty....well. waterfall. there were rivers on either side of the streets. it was raining so hard i could barely see across the street. it was just. so many worlds of no.

bottom line. it was wet and cold. outside.


and to top it all off, it was bright and sunny out if you looked past the torrential current pouring out of nowhere.

to quote my ex-art professor. "This place is weird."

it's one of those days where you just don't want to be anywhere. evar. it's cold and wet. though, not dreary in the classical sense since it's blaringly sunny...and yet i have two meetings and another class to go to. why'd it hafta be tuesday??? D:<


maybe this is what happens when i go more than 24 hours without eating or without noticing that i haven't eaten...oO

so uh. it's 4:36am. i have to go to class in just about 4 hours. my eyes are burning. and i'm not tired! uh. just thought i'd let y'all know. X]

-/edit-

CAUTION! The words that follow may or may not be intellectual and include lessons from Aristotle. SHOCK!


So. About 2 years ago I was forced to study Aristotle's ponderance on the relationships people harbor with each other. Ever since then I've pretty much changed the way I look at my relationships with various people, but it really hasn't affected me too much.

But due to some recent events...I need to ponder on this subject a bit more...based on what I remember. X] I know this is a little after the fact but...better late than never right?

Particularly because I'm such an introvert, antisocial, angry, anthrophobic, cynic...I don't have too many relationships worth cherishing. Well. I don't know. Somehow I do tend to harbor many groups of friends after a while, but that's just networking. I’m also very paranoid. Because it’s hard for me to make friends, I spend a lot of energy trying to keep them. But I reviewed the many people I associate with and that is how I judge whether or not to feel bad when I’m short with someone or if I don’t sit near someone out of habit. Cos I’m also very habitual but that’s another story. X] So here’s the DL.


There are 3 types of friendships according to Aristotle.

-Utility Friendships
-Self-Happiness Friendships (Not actual name)
-Telia Phelia Friendships

For the utility friendships, people become friends due to a common need and happenstance. They become "friends" because one needs something from the other. Whether it be help, guidance, critique, next week's test answers, a ride to the north shore, whatever. The friendship grows from this need whether they know it or not. Both people don't necessarily benefit from this. More often than not, only one person benefits while the other is either unaffected or is put out of their ways to satisfy the other. Almost 85% of the relationships in this world is based on this utility relationship. (the percentage was fudged but it’s still very high) It’s usually a one way relationship, but that’s not to say it’s entirely negative and you’re a horrible person for having a relationship like this. –disappointed head shake-

For the Self-Happiness friendship, there’s a slightly more positive connotation. You seek to be with this person or people because you find happiness or a sense of belonging when you’re with them. These friends are friends simply because they like being in each other’s company and thus one or both parties are happy. Aristotle thought that this was nice but it was also selfish. This isn’t a true friendship even though it may seem like one. Because one party may gain something and be the benefactor, since the feelings aren’t all the time mutual, though one may find happiness here, if you are stricken with oh, I don’t know, Anthrax, the other person will more than likely not want to be near your diseased ass…no matter how much happiness and joy you might bring to the room…

Now the last type of friendship is what Aristotle considered a genuine, true friendship and this he called Telia Phelia. (I think). It has its roots in utility and self-happiness. In fact it’s like, the love child of utility and self-happiness. But like any good hybrid mutant offspring it has its own good qualities that must be mentioned. For this friendship to happen, the utility is more often than not, mutual. Both friends are valued as equals and, while the relationship may be the result of some random happenstance (redundancy for emphasis here) the utility is mutual and NOT the basis of this relationship. Also. Self-happiness is involved. Afterall what kind of friends don’t get happiness out of being in each other’s company? But it doesn’t have to be the basis of it either. This friend isn’t going to desert you in times of hardship just because you’re depressing to them. These are the kinds of friends that will force the other to take medicine and make soup when the other is sick with the flu. These friends are there in the best of times, and they’ll be there for you when your house is foreclosed upon and you’re forced to live in a cardboard box in a dark alley in Waikiki. The thing with this relationship is that all things are mutual. The usage AND the happiness. Things are “even steven” and each is willing and happy to go the distance for the other. It’s not just because one of them is a personal slave doing favors. Both get some benefit and joy out of the other or doing things for the other. These friends and relationships are worth more than Bill Gates’ for... ]]> ~KanineAnimus http://KanineAnimus.deviantart.com/journal/16381073/ http://KanineAnimus.deviantart.com/journal/16381073/ Sun, 13 Jan 2008 01:11:45 PST
whatever. it's been 20 years since the year of the dragon. and what's this? i'm 2 decades old? gasp! -faints-

ahem. the reason why i'm already in denial is because IT"S TIME TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL -coughtorturechambercough- It's time to go back to everything that's not good for my health, be it losing sleep, studying and pulling all nighters, the disgusting food served on campus (which is actually tasty in some places. just not good for you in any way shape or form), and the dorm room that absolutely destroys my sinuses. Seriously that place just isn't healthy. But either way, yeh gotta do what yeh gotta do right?

WRONG. I can totally stay in denial until Sunday night when I go back to the dorm. and that's...totally another 20 hours for me to waste away doing absolutely nothing and enjoy it. I wasn't quite as artistically productive as I wanted to be nor did I get to hang out with a couple of my friends, one of which went back to North Carolina before I could say bye. ): But as for me wasting incredible amounts of time doing relatively nothing...I LOVED IT. And I miss it already.

HOWEVER. My course load is much lighter than last semester so I'll more than likely have a couple more hours to dedicate to nothingness. It's pretty sweet actually. Classes are earlier than I wanted them to be but on the up side, because they're so early I get out early too. Which will be beautiful. Particularly if my roommate has late classes. That. Would. Be. B-E-A-UTIFUL. In the most evil way ever. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.

But at any rate. I'm looking forward to what this year has in store. It's supposed to be a good year according to various predictions and or superstitions. and unfortunately I'm very superstitious. THEREFORE.

Here's to the entire year. Here's to being 2 decades old and still not old enough to rent a car. Here's to leaving 2007 behind (along with my cell phone which I lost right before the year ended). and finally. Here's to something good to come. ^^

Cheers guys! -clink-



oh and btw. Today's journal was brought to you by the letter Z and the number 8.

me, over here in the darkest corner of my room -which i like thank you very much- is all. OH MY GOD CAN THE YEAR NOT BE OVER SOONER?!.

yeah. 2007 sucked for me. i CANNOT wait for 2008 and what that year will bring and what it will be leaving behind.

albeit 2007 had some really good points. i became really good friends with ~wings33 and ~fairytaledreams (even though I met the both of them in 2006 which was a very awesome year) i had a relatively awesome summer playing around with three cats. (four if you count pip). I participated in a couple of very awesome events including Kawaii Kon 2007 and going to the MCR CONCERT LAST WEEK. I watched my beloved little class of 2007 graduate. *gw33t3r-love and I rocked the kitchen for Jumpstart 2007. Yeah. 2007 had some pretty high points but overall in my book it was one of the lowest years ever.

and therefore. on behalf of the Federation For Furious Flying Feet I would like to bid 2007 adieu for now and for the rest of FOREVER.

on the upside, for the remainder of 2007 i'll be in vegas away from most of my problems here in Hawaii. limited to no internet either. i guess it'll give me a chance to get away from all things internet involved and get back in touch with the tangible stuff in front of me. but before I leave I will post the things I've been doing (or what I have of them) all semester art-wise that are post worthy. just to show you people that I wasn't slacking off. If anything I hope I learned more in the art department and whatever it was i did learn, I hope i can use it in my personal artness.

-sigh- So here's to the new year and hopefully to a lack of depressional and ranting journals. i'll be a whole 2 decades old and quite frankly. i don't look forward to getting older. and what's with this 21 business? why can't we just make it an even 20? i'm tired of being stamped "Keiki" and getting large x's marked on my hands when I go to assorted bars and clubs. XD

so be happy people. or relatively so. the year's almost over and we've got a whole, brand spankin' new blank page in the yearbook to fill out.
let's make the best of it while we're still breathing! cheers until next year's!

Anywho. Exams are looming over my head. more threatening than ever before. O Chem is on Monday and I'm just now taking a break from the mad marathon of studying. I've got 3/4 more of a chapter to go before I'm done for the night. and by that I mean 25 pages of nuclear magnetic resonance and shiznaz of that related sort. Then we move on to japanese on wednesday and evolution on friday. after that I"M FREEEEE and there'll be plenty of uploading to make up for the non uploading i've been doing. seriously I have been doing things. just. no digital painting. All my work from the past few months will be mostly sketch dump (quality sketch dump not stick figures and whatever) and until i get my pieces back from my instructor in the spring, that's all i'd expect from me. so. i haven't been. oh quite the opposite my friend. quite. the. opposite.

I also feel lazy. and am suffering from vertigo in addition to all that shiznaz (second time i've said that). not the greatest combination in the world eh? oh and I can't get the classes I want either. i mean, i have 13 credits which is enough to make me a full time student. but after taking 2 semesters 19 credit course loads and then dropping down to 13 makes me feel like i'm slacking. 'course i've been advised to take it easy by my ever loving holder of money advisor. bah. whatever. i'm tired.

I'm. Just. Tired.


What's on my Christmas list?

1. Sleep.
2. Sleep.
3. Sleep.

Really. I have no material wants. All I want. Is. Sleep.

1.Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some question yourself!!!

Mui: What? This again? Forget it. Human questions are far too weird. -saunters off to some corridor of the ruins to seek shade-
Sertha: Don't look at me. For once. I agree...with...Mui. -storms off-

oO?

Shantok
Systemtre

(gee i seem to pick polar opposite chars to do these...and if you questioned more than two, i'm sure absolute chaos would ensue...oO)

A. How old are you?

Shantok: Didn't Mui do one of these?
Sysemtre: Answer the question fool.
Shan: You're not very nice.
Sy: And what of it?
Shan: Whatever. I don't need to deal with you. I'm 6 human years.
Sy: Yeah you do. For the duration of this shit anyway. Unfortunately, I'm also 6 human years. And younger than this whelp.
Shan: Excuse you.

B. YOU WANT A HUG? XD

Shan: Sure. Why not? I like hugs. Some affection is good in small doses.
Sy: You have a death wish?
Shan: No. I'm just not entirely heartless like you.
Sy: I was talking to the human asking this question.
Shan: Yeah. Whatever.

C. You got any bad habits?

Shan: Who doesn't? I uh. Snore? And I leave feathers EVERYWHERE. Too lazy to pick them up though. -smirk- The pups like playing with them so why not let them have their fun?
Sy: You're just a lazy ass good for nothing excuse for a beta. Though Mui's no better. Why don't you just kick him out and take charge?
Shan: Stop trying to create chaos. It's chaotic enough just to sit here within paw's reach of you. Just answer the question.
Sy: Would creating chaos be considered a bad habit? Yeah. Yeah I think so. -evil grin-
Shan: And you couldn't have made that one any clearer.
Sy: Hey. I just know what I want. CONTROL OF YOUR STUPID LITTLE PACK. Particularly of Sertha.
Shan: You keep your paws off her. In fact, why don't you go away before Mui and I rip your throat out?
Sy: Oh don't worry. You won't need to. -mutterorbeabletomutter-


D. You a virgin?
Sy: -smirk- One guess.
Shan: Yeah. It's not my place in the pack. Not like I asked to be beta.
Sy: -sly- Well well now do I hear a little envy?
Shan: Shut up Sy. I'm perfectly happy in my place.
Sy: Sure. Sure you are. Heh. I'm sure you are...


E. Who's your mate/spouse?
Shan: She's not technically my mate. She's my counterpart and beta female. Dhezerai. I love her nonetheless.
Sy: I'd love Sertha. -shudder- The thought of what she did to me makes me want her blood.
Shan: Knock it off Sy. I don't care what she used to be to you or that she tried to kill you. She's under our jurisdiction so long as Mui and I are alive and there's nothing you can do about it.
Sy: For now.

F. Have any kids?
Shan: Once again, no. It's not my place. Dhez and I have to keep up with Kyanel and Tazzeh as well as Kera. It's part of the job description.
Sy: Who can say really? maybe I do and maybe i don't.
Shan: You're a rat.
Sy: And you're a rat with wings.
Shan: At least I can fly.

G. Favorite food?
Shan: Hare. and Moose. MEAT.
Sy: Food is a convenience.
Shan: Yeah. You just eat sand.
Sy: I'd like to see you take down anything without that pack of yours.
Shan: That's why I'm IN one unlike you.

H. Favorite ice cream flavor?
Shan: What?
Sy: No.

I. Killed anyone?
Shan: Just a couple of humans. No one would miss them.
Sy: I enjoy the taste of blood. I'm surprised I haven't killed you yet.
Shan: As if you could.
Sy: Is that a challenge?
Shan: ANY DAY ANY PLACE ANY TIME.
Sy: Tch. yeah. like I'd waste my efforts on you when I could just take out Mui.
Shan: I'd like to see you try.
Sy: One day.

J. Hate anyone?

Sy: Why Shantok. How generous of you. Giving all your hate to me. Unfortunately I can't return the favor simply because I don't discriminate. I hate everyone.

Everything hurts, i'm hungry, and i'm wearing sunglasses. UNLEASH THE DOBERMANS!!!

speaking of dobermans, there's a doberman puppy in my pet store. she's been there for uh...almmost three months and SHE"S HUGE. she's such a sweetheart though. we don't name our puppies but we've taken to calling her "Dobi" since uh...she's a doberman. it saddens me so much that she's still there. well. i haven't been to work in a week so MAYBE she's been sold... but. that's what I say every week. :C ANYONE IN HAWAII WANT AN ADORABLE FEMALE DOBI PUPPY?...well. she's not so adorable anymore. she's like. a prepubescent little kid of a puppy. what with awkwardly large paws and long spindly legs without the streamlined powerful build of an adult. X] poor thing. -sigh- i hope she's gone to a good home by the time i go back to work....

SARS! GENETICS OF DISEASE! EPIDEMIC CURVE! BATS.

you know. all of this is rather interesting...but...uh... i'm hungry and distracted. XD

OMG I FANTASTICALLY FAILED MY OCHEM TEST WITH A 41!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. 'course. with the curve that's a 77. >:]

and on the subject of thanksgiving. it's never been a happy holiday for me. aside from the hoards of food that i inhale, i've been trampled at a Wal-Mart at 12am, my parents pretty much exploded at each other, my brain nearly exploded, and the turkey was dry. >:C

okay well i'm not so much focused on the dryness of the turkey since i'm very not picky about things like that. (just giv eme gravy! ) but you get the gist right? thanksgiving not a very happy time for me. but each year i looked forward to sharing some late night, after madness turkey with my dog. every year she and i would sit on the kitchen floor and share some leftover turkey (or the chinese food i had one year) and I’d just quietly mention to her, thank you for being there for me.

Unfortunately. She’s no longer with me. She passed not too recently on September 17. So I’ll be eating my late night turkey alone on our floor. Hopefully there won’t be too much madness, however. My mom just caught the flu (she’s in vegas) and I have to pick her up at the airport tomorrow (thanksgiving day). I don’t know what to expect just yet, but I don’t expect a rosy outcome.
But despite my mom being virally incapacitated, I come across an article in the university newspaper that interviews students about what they’re thankful for. Predictably there’s the standard “I’m thankful for my friends, family, loved ones, living in relative freedom yaddah.” That’s when (about 10 minutes ago when I read it at the beginning of lecture) I thought about it and after considering a good deal of stuff, I asked myself…

What am I NOT thankful for?



^^ happy thanksgiving guys.

(ps. i'm not in evolution anymore. i'm in organic chemistry lecture now! >)

not anything angry or bashing. I just need to speak to something to make me feel better. And since it's currently 4:43am, there's no one to speak to. I also post this here solely because I'm not using my own computer and as such, i can't save this for my own record anywhere else other than on the internet. -cos like an idiot i locked my keys in my dorm room; refer to last journal for the outburst- once i get into my room and get the chance to turn my computer on again -which is dead thanks to similar events as the key thing which lead to me forgetting my power chord in ewa beach- i'll take this down and keep this for my own record.


post has been removed. to sum things up. i wrote out a portion of my life here. just for my records. it's been successfully moved onto my own hard drive and is no longer here to burn out your eyes. X]


if you read through this, you're amazing and i bow down to you. unfortunately you get nothing but a little rant and a peripheral look at my life story in addition to maybe my undying gratitude for a little understanding. in fact that may have taken 1-2 months off your life expectancy. but i did warn you.

this'll be down by...the end of this weekend hopefully. monday evening at the latest.

sooo. stole this offa ~wings33 cos...uh...she told me to....

OC's:

Mui
Sertha

How old are you?

Mui: Depends. You counting from my birthday or my death day? Psh. whatever. I /think/ I'm 7 in human years. That whole issue about human and dog years... It just baffles my mind. Either way. So. Old.
Sertha: -glares- What's it to you?
Mui: Just answer the question...they're not doing you any harm. It's not like /I/ don't know. I could just tell them for you.
Sertha: I'm 6 okay.
Mui: You need to lighten up Sertha.
Sertha: And you need to shut up.

What's your height?

Mui: What? When I'm on my fours? Beats me.
Sertha: Mui's taller...than...me....I'm maybe 3' 9". he's about four feet at the ears.
Mui: What's a foot?
Sertha: Human measurement.
Mui: Interesting....


Are you a virgin?

Mui: A what?
Sertha: ...Mui you ask too many questions.
Mui: These human terms are just...weird.
Sertha: That's what you have me for. But am I really at liberty to answer these questions?
Mui: Well we can always swap you out with...Sy.
Sertha: -bristles- ...Yeah. I'm a virgin. Mui. You're not.

Do you have any kids?

Mui: Kids? Like goats?
Sertha: You're so stupid. Why do I call you alpha again?
Mui: Because you need a pack and I lead one. Otherwise Sy'd get you.
Sertha: -sizzle- They mean pups.
Mui: Oh those. Yeah. Well. Had. They all died a...while ago....Can we move on?
Sertha: Tazzeh and Kyanel. They're not of my blood though. They just... to put it in human terms..."appeared on my doorstep".

What's your favourite food?

Mui: This I know. I particularly savor venison with a side of some guinea fowl if we can catch it. I actually also enjoy cranberries....
Sertha: Blood.
Mui: Melodramatic now aren’t we?
Sertha: I AM a vampire remember?
Mui: So THAT”S why you never join in the hunt.
Sertha: …-facepaw-

What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

Mui: What?
Sertha: I don't think you've ever seen it before Mui. It's sweet and extremely cold. My humans used to eat it. Their child was particularly fond of it and would drop it on the floor occasionally. I rather like the one they call french vanilla.
Mui: Sounds fancy. What else did they have?
Sertha: I'd rather not dive back into my owned life.

Have you killed anyone?

Mui: Well. We have to kill to eat. Never killed another wolf yet though. Not like there's many others around here...
Sertha: Yeah. So shoot me.

Do you hate anyone?

Mui: No...it's not in my mission statement.
Sertha: I hate everyone.
Mui: Geh. So true....

Have any secrets?

Mui: Secrets in a pack leader? Also not in the mission statement.
Sertha: -snarls- Like I'd answer this.

Do you love anyone?

Mui: Funaha. My pack.
Sertha: -rolls eyes- Maybe I did at one time but never again.

What is your job?

Mui: Job? What?
Sertha: Role. The thing you do.
Mui: Uh...alpha?
Sertha: -sighs- staying alive.

Boy or girl?

Mui: Uh. duh. “Alpha /male/”.
Sertha: Female.

What do you do to relax?

Mui: Sunbathing or napping on the flat inside the ruins.
Sertha: Sleep. What with being nocturnal and all.

What do you think your life expectancy is?

Mui: What? How long I'm supposed to live? Hard to say since...age is different for us.
Sertha: I'd be lucky to make it past 14.

Now what are you going to do?

Mui: Sleep. What else is there to do?
Sertha: Eat you.
Mui: Me or the narrator?
Sertha: Both...but mostly the narrator.
Mui: Yeah. I could go for some human.
Sertha: Well. That's how stereotypes arise.
Mui: You know I just don't like people.
Sertha: It’s not like I do. You’re just throwing kindling in the fire.
Mui: For what?
Sertha: Nevermind…
Mui: Oh come on it was a joke. You know I don’t eat human.
Sertha: I’m sure you would if you had the chance. They’re quite tasty.

so. to officially start my in denial-ness. i've procured a survey. i'm sure many of you have seen it before as i yoinked it from *WildSpiritWolf enjoy.

1. Do you like animals?
Yes. I surround myself with them and i go nuts without some animal presence. i even brought my mouse and my pufferfish to my dorm cos i was tweaking...being around soooo many people. i prefer animals to people ANYDAY.

2. Have you ever met an online friend in person?
no. though and i have been plotting for a looong loong time. X]

3. Are you athletic?
I used to be. On good days i am. but on the average i'm not physically capable of being athletic. does pool count for athletics? X]

4. Are you: thin, fat, athletically built etc:
i'm not thin. but i'm not obese. i could probably do with losing a couple of inches or three around the waist.

5. How much do you weigh?
i don't remember. i haven't weighed myself in about 5-6 months and i wouldn't remember the figure. the last number i remember...i'm about 18lbs over the required weight to donate blood. X]

4'11"...i think. i shrank... doctor says i shrank about a quarter of an inch.

6 1/2-7...

19. but my body says i'm 91.

11. When is your birthday?
June 21. first day of summer.

12. Do you like to receive giftart?
^^ of course. giftart always makes me happy.

no. not really. im only sociable when there's at least one person i know with me. otherwise i'm the one sitting in a corner that no one notices.

I have many friends. But I only have a few good ones that i keep close to me.

15. What's your race?
Japanese and Chinese.

16. Do you like to talk on the phone?

single? i don't intend to change that either.

Meat? who said meat? where?! MEEEAAATTT! -drools-

Yep. a whole variety. hip hop, r&b, oldies, classical, contemporary, jazz. pretty much everything under the sun. my music library is quite diverse with everything from various anime theme songs to Korsikov to The Beatles. except...i kind of object to japanese boy bands. my roommate listens to the pretty much for EVERY WAKING HOUR and i'm pretty sick of them.

22. Do you play any instruments?
my viola. that instrument is pretty much my soul. i also play the piano and i dabble with my ukulele.

a) LIFE SUCKS COLLEGE SUCKS EXAMS SUCK EVERYTHING SUCKS. that's the general concensus of the aspects of my being. don't count me emo or depressed yet. right now is just a really frustrating time due to the unrealistic number of unfortunate events that have been occurring recently. like. it's pretty much madness.

b) i'm failing at life. i'm in a grey area right now and i'm being told a million and one things in regards to what i should be doing with my life. i used to know what i wanted to do for the rest of my existence. i used to have aim and direction. but i don't have the drive anymore and you can thank college for that. while my grades aren't absolutely dismal, i just don't match up with my peers anymore. high school makes you think you're smart and college proves you're wrong. i've got a million titles behind my name and a reputation i don't deserve. i just don't think i can live up to my normal standards any more and that upsets me. i feel like i'm just screeching by, holding on by the skin of my teeth -which isn't biologically correct. it's not skin it's enamel- and in this state of "upset-ment" i just don't find it feasible to do anything artistic that's of worth.

c)i'm in an art class. two technically but one of them is a lie. ask ~wings33 or ~gw33t3r-love you could also probably ask ~fairytaledreams as she's taken the brunt of our rantings. maybe even ~alknick too...but aside from that the other art class is absolutely sucking whatever tiny ioda of artistic skill that i ever happened to posess. -sigh- i've got no will to do anything on my own really.

d) for those who've known me long enough. i've got a SEVERE inferiority complex. it comes and goes every so often and occasionally it drives me to do better. but more often it drives me to depression. my view on my world is that i'll never be good at anything. i don't have innate, natural talent. everyone and their grandmother receives all kinds of praise and recognition for what they do and the things they do well. now i don't need or want any sort of popularity or recognition. or even praise for that matter. it just upsets me that when i work my arse off for something of the artistic nature or for anything for that matter, i still can't match up to the skill and talent of my peers. i'm rather rough around the edges i admit i'm not as refined as others. i've never taken a formal art class before this year and all i've learned is through my own endeavor. so i understand i'm not great and whatever. but i'd like to be good at something. ANYTHING. when i work hard at something. i just can't. measure up.

e) i don't have a scanner with me. my current residence is in the campus dorms and a scanner i do not have. there's a good number of doodles collecting in my papers that i think are at least scrap worthy but i have nary the time on the weekends to scan hem in and i certainly am not capable of doing it here. when i do get to it i've got a lot of mui doodles, random perspective doodles, okami fan art...etc.

f) i don't have any painting or photoediting programs on this computer. and even if i did, the pain that shoots through my spine and joints don't allow me to sit long enough at this point in time. PS7 was deleted off my computer last night in an effort to install APCS3 extended. but before the installation was successful "me bloody ba'tree daied" so i'mma hafta wait another week or so to restore everything. in the mean time, without PS7 the only thing i can use my tablet for is a rather fancy coaster.

g) i'm in emotional and physical unrest. A lot of things have been rending my soul in twain lately and emotionally i'm pretty unstable. this doesn't happen very often but a lot of junk has been piling in the furnace and the logs are cracking away. go redox reactions. physically it just hurts. as stated earlier i can't sit still cos my back starts whining at me. my knees don't help the whole situation and the rest of my joints are laughing at me. there are days when i collapse on the floor and i can't get up without subjecting myself to severe pain. i see a rheumatologist in november...if i'm still alive by then. and even then he'll probably tell me i'm hallucinating.

a) THERE"S NO TIME TO DO ANYTHING. Life decided to get busy all of a sudden and the time i'm spending writing this journal s... ]]> ~KanineAnimus http://KanineAnimus.deviantart.com/journal/14584656/ http://KanineAnimus.deviantart.com/journal/14584656/ Tue, 11 Sep 2007 04:10:57 PDT
so. i go into art class today. this one's not by any means and art art class but it's like a faux art class. i dislike it iwht a passion and if it wasn't fulfilling requirement i think i'd drop it. this lady. she eats my soul. apparently i color WRONG. i know i can't color and this is a fact. but how do you go about telling someone that they color WRONG? gah. and furthermore i'm wiped out, too tired, can't ous or make coherent sentences and she goes, "well you look fatigued" and i was like..."well, yes." and she says "well i'm sure i've been through much worse with the things i've done" and i sat there for a nano second thinking...lady you don't know the half of it. hell /I/ don't know the half of it. but whatever. out of respect i merely replied "i don't doubt this. but right now...right now..." and i sorta trailed off due to my lack of sentence making ability at the time. gah.

and i apologize for not doing anything of the artsy persuasion. i lost my stylus to my tablet and as much as i enjoy drawing with a mouse...that i don't have either since i'm on a laptop. and i can't scan anything in due to my lack of scanner. however, i DID find my stylus today so if i find the time... i'll start working again on those avs you people requested of me. i think i can do better now due to my one week self inflicted crash course in animation. i still have sooo much to learn though. so much.

i should probably do some homework...or play okami... X]...or maybe go back to sleep. i like sleep. i think i'll try this going back to sleep thing.

oh and i have a series of photos i'mma upload eventually. my "chameleon series" from the adventures in the back yard of a manoa house. THERE WERE SOOO MANY OF THEM LIKE MADNESS. but yeah. there's a good few that i like so i apologize in advance for the upcoming photo dump. i'll try not to do things like this too often.

Rules:
1. Post the rules.
2. Each person tagged must post nine interesting facts about themselves.
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts.
4. At the end of the post, nine more people must be tagged and named.
5. Go to their pages and leave a comment telling them they've been tagged.

psh. rules. whatever. go tag yourselves.

1. i dislike the principle of "people"
2. my body tells me i'm 91 when i'm actually 19...long story.
3. even though i get paid to go to school, the school takes t back from me in the form of housing fees.
4. my ancestors were either samurai or rice paddy workers. depending on which side of me you're looking at. either way both sides of me (chinese and japanese) came to hawaii to work on the sugar cane fields
5. i was in a movie depicting this sugar cane field working.
6. the first time i met a horse it stepped on my foot and wouldn't get off. i loved that horse. ^^ it was on the sugar cane plantation from that movie.
7. i can't be around too many people for too long or else i start to go insane. (solitary complex)
8. i enjoy reminiscing about long discontinued TV shows (Reboot, Tenchi, Outlaw Star, Angry Beavers, Legends of the Hidden Temple. Scooby Doo. the list goes on and on and on.) kids today are pretty much rotting their brains on the junk that's on TV
9. i STILL dislike the principle of "people" homo sapiens sapiens should be smart enough to stop hurting the world. or at least animals. no. not vegetarian. just against the mistreatment of the members of the animalian domain.

well. i guess it's also about time for an update. it's been a while hasn't it? couple of weeks now? a lot has happened and most of it has been depressing. if it's not one thing it's another. i think the WORLD is pms-ing or something. the world decided to rain its wrath upon these past few weeks.

on a happier note, this message goes out to ~wings33

aaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

i would also like to thank ~gw33t3r-love for the sandwiches and ~fairytaledreams for the wonderful reading of chapter 1.


i dunno. school's back. traffic's back. life's been taken aback. i apparently hurt my back. there were needles IN my back. and no, i don't think Justin Timberlake brought sexy back. i don't hate the guy. but i don't...respect him either.

YOU"LL NEVER FIND WHERE I HID MY BREADS!!! D:<

Thank you. and good night. -bows-

anywho. I"M FREEEEEEE!!! blasted chem162. it's not even hard chem. it's just the circumstances that caused me to PHAIL. yeah. that's right. with a ph. more letters. more emphasis. gah. and just before ANY of you say it, i'm trying to ignore the fact that I move into the dorms on wednesday and that the fall semester begins on the 20th. sshhhhhhh.

i suppose then, that that marks the end of hiatus! subadical-ness. 'course, i had some chances to log on every so often to glance at all of you peoplezes wonderful submissions and maybe add a comment or two. thank you all for being awesome. ^^

and don't think i actually listened and didn't doodle anything. i'm not entirely fond of what i've done at the moment and if anything both projects are a WIP. i'll upload later when i'm not dead tired.

and apparently, i've developed a neutrality towards domesticates of the feline variety. spending almost 2 weeks now at a house with THREE cats has been quite...an experience. aside from the pet store i work at i have little to no exposure to cats of any sort and over the 19 years of being alive, i harbored a great dislike for cats. mostly because of the million stray ones everywhere on this island wreaking havoc on the animal life that dwells in my backyard. but after spending all that time around cats and no dogs -cries- i guess i've grown fond of them. overall i guess i don't hate cats anymore, but rather, willingly tolerate them now. CRAZY MADNESS!! doesn't fix my allergies tho. i'm not deathly allergic. but if i stick around long enough my eyes get all itchy and watery and i can't breathe through my nose. -shrug- since i'm not dire, i figure the more time i spend around them i'll get over it.

gosh. july just sped by. there are times where i still want time to slow down to a crawl so that i may enjoy the savory moments of life. unfortunately that little vortex on the coast of the western end of antarctica a few miles away from a range of mountains whose entrails are dragged out from underneath their rocky exteriors and into said vortex located right under the ice shelf of the westernmost point on said coast STILL sucks time away from the living. that unrelenting FOOL.

^^ thanks again! this has been a presentation of your local brodcasting Kanine. Programming made possible by viewers like you~

to put it shortly, i'm pretty sure i failed my chem test. when i told my mom she told me i should stop everything i'm doing "stop drawing your dogs" and just study for every waking moment. she pretty much just ripped my heart and soul from me and essentially threw it in the trash. i'm so lost and depressed and confused at this point and if it'll make her happy then i'm giving up art for the most part. at least until i'm back at the dorms. or maybe longer. who knows.

i'll never actually give up drawing. that's absurd. but for now. it's apparently "taken up too much of my study time" and i should "focus on [my] studies". and so i regret that i must say farewell for now. it tears me because i love watching you people and i love being on DA.

as for my prior commitments. i'll still do my 2 contest entries for *dragonheroes and i'll still judge. but that's all in august and i'll hopefully be back by then. my requests? i'll try and sneak time in for them. but there's no guarantees until august rolls around. sorry.

so. THANK YOU EVERYONE for your support and comments. i'll check back in every once in a while. i love you all. keep on drawing. at least you can.


see you when i see you.


so apparently i was tagged by ~gw33t3r-love before i posted this journal due to my reading her journal. apparently.

Okami, Pokemon, Kingdom Hearts, Tenchi Muyo

yeah...i prefer the front tho.

3) Have you recently dyed your hair/cut it?
umm. highlights? may? or was it... i dunno it was some time ago.

4) List four people that you look up to the most.
does everyone count? seriously i'm that short. and everyone's greater than me. X]

5) How many pets do you own as of now?
silly question. 1 dog, 2 ducks, 13 red ear sliders, 1 map turtle, 4 sulcata tortoises, 3 cockatiels, hundreds of fish, 1 bullfrog, and 2 painted box turtles. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. and i love them all.

6) Which do you prefer white or black?
black.

7) Who is your most played character?
MUI!!! X] if you're referring to roleplay that is.

8) Choose one or the other, not both:
one. it's the lonliest number that you'll ever know.

9) Name three aspects that tell who you are.

18) Water or ice?
Ice. i'm addicted to ice you know. it's crunchy and cold. ^^ bad for my teeth tho.

my mom wouldn't let me stay home to work on anything... -cries, then goes to hide under a rock-


all of you people who've been waiting on me for like. years. here's the deal.

my wrists go crunch when i draw for extended periods of time. it hurts. but life goes on right? i'm so sorry for procrastinating so much and making you all wait for so long. i'm dedicating this friday (due to lack of summer school class) to finishing requests and in addition to whatever it was that you've requested, i'll throw in a finished sketch of any of your chars. be it one or two or whatever, as a sort of apology/please don't hate me forever, sort of appeasement offering. so. if i owe you something, please comment me with the name of the character(s) you'd like me to sketch for you.

FRIDAY"S THE DAY!!!! -shakes fist.oww..-

but anyway like i said in the other journal over there i'm reading up on the mechanics of motion and the principles of animation and such so hopefully whatever it is i do for you is less shaky and more believeable than my previous works.. hopefully. i'm still learning and am still in search of a formal class. seriously i wanna get better at this animating thing. thank you all for giving me the opportunity to practice. ^^

and i do believe i owe some of you gift art. not sure who tho so if you feel you're deserving of some gift art, drop me a line. i'll see what i can do. ^^

i'm reading up and learning more about animations. i borrowed a book or two or five on animation and the mechanics of motion. -using a speech assignment as an excuse to learn more- so hopefully, once i learn more i'll be able to produce more uh... "quality" stuff.

coloring is the bane of my existence. --' and i think i really am developing carpal tunnel in both wrists. oO!

well, i'm off to study for the speech final. X[

WHERE DID THE TIME GO?! gosh just yesterday i was perfectly fine with the world thinking that i've got a while to go before my 18th year is done. and then today my grandma gives me my birthday present and says you're birthday is next week! and i'm like OO!? -sigh- so much i have left to dooooooo..

time's been flying by since first semester ended actually. by the time second semester was over i was like OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SEMESTER?! all of a sudden we had to study for finals, my roommate moves back home and then BAM i'm in summer school. now first session ends in about 3 weeks and it seems just like yesterday that the class started.

FURTHERMORE all your peoples' requests! time has flown so quickly everyday i reach for my tablet to finish it cos i gave you a deadline, then next thing i know it's the next day and i didn't even open photoshop!. AGH. that's one of the reasons why i haven't done anything. and i must apologize for the UMPTEENTH time for my lack of dilligence. seriously i didn't mean for time to slip right past me.

NOT ONLY THAT but my poor truck reached 40k miles today as i passed office depot in waikele. FORTY THOUSAND. and it's only a 2005! considering i /did/ get it with 18k already on its odometer, but as i watched the numbers change to 40,000 i was like OH NOES MY TRUCK AND I ARE TOO OLD WHEN WE"RE NOT REALLY THAT OLD. he and i don't deserve it. yes, my truck is a he. i decided he was too manly to even be a tomboy. X] no name for him yet tho. he's got a bunch of scars all over him already though from my accidental abuse and other people keying him.

TO TOP IT ALL OFF my friends and I have been reminiscing over the most awesome TV shows of all time that were taken off the air. Reboot, Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo for starters. I looooove Washu. she's such a dynamic character. Toonami's golden age. Legends of the Hidden Temple, Guts, Rocko's Modern Life, Doug, Angry Beavers, AHH! Real Monsters. Family Doule Dare, Figure It Out. Cartoon Cartoons, Oh Canada. Gosh there were soooo many. the list goes on and on. I loved these shows and I love remembering them. but thinking about it just makes me feel older and older. the crap children watch today is nothing compared to what my generation had. i pity them really. granted there are a couple of good ones. most of which are on adult swim or are japanese in origin. -sigh- still it's nothing compared to my generation's shows where dark humor was still encouraged and they included so many cultural and intellectual nuances that we probably didn't understand back then. I watch some of today's shows and cartoons and I only shake my head. someone REVIVE THE OLD SHOWS!!!

Well, as my last week of being 18 wanes...and also my hair stops shedding..., i'm just gunna have to suck it up and face it. the world's different today and I nor my truck are getting any younger. it's just... a depressing prospect...

AHHHHHH SOMEONE SLOW TIME DOWN!!!

btw, thanks everyone for watching, commenting and/or faving. ^^ i appreciate all the support and critique. it's about time i say thanks to you all.

this is ridiculous. i haven't been able to draw anything decent EVER since school ended and now that i have free time i don't want to do anything, the very things i couldn't do while in school i can now but won't. :/ i'm in a block, my muse has gone on vacation. i've tried and tried.

-sigh- i've nothing to show for all the time spent so far. this is a sort of state of stagnation i guess. while all the rest of you can push out submissions like machines, i opn the otherhand, fail. X] it doesn't help that i'm forced to draw and do ridiculous things for my speech class which in itself is ridiculous. i dunno. i'm just under a lot of stress right now i guess. i'm in the campus center computer lab just whiling away the time. i suppose i'll go off and do something productive...


i've had this strange desire to chew on things recently. it's CRAZY. there's a kanker sore on my tongue from me chewing in my sleep i guess. i dunno what else i could have done to get it. but in my waking hours i want to chew. maybe i should buy myself some chew toys...oO there's nothing more that i want than to lie in bed and chew on some bones. ^^ that sounds really nice.

sorry for the random edit. just thought i should share before i start chewing on you! > j/j X]
