I cant beleive its been since November since I've been on! O_o;
Lots has happened since my unemployment.

I finally got my job back, waaaaaay back in Febuary. I've been working since then, I've been super active on Poupeegirl so if you're on there I suggest friending me. uhh I finally graduated officially from school so now I just have work, Yay! My tablet died back in november so I cant work on any of my drawings which is the main reason I havent uploaded anything. The tablet I want is way expensive and I dont have the money despite working.

I'm also on facebook, so you should friend me there as well since I am on there a lot more than here so if you want to be kept updated about whats going on in my so called life just look me up using my email address. XD

The problem is I still have one stupid class I have to finish and thats what I'm doing but fortunately its just one, actually two but whatever. Anyway Because of that I have been slowly getting back to drawing and as you all see I posted my first completed work in about a year! Hooray! XD; I have a lot of sketches that I also have to post to my sketchbook but I will do that later.

In the meantime Yes I am still alive and I am still drawing. The only problem now is it takes awhile for me to complete anything now because my wonderful tablet decided that now was a really good time to die on me. and since I lost my job and trying to find another one I am too poor to buy another one. *sigh* once I get a job and after the holidays I will get my tablet and be back at producing more art. Woo!

So far I have managed to survive most of the day. I am very tired and my eyes hurt like you wouldnt beleive but I seem to be ok. Thank god I can kind of sleep in tomorrow. Kind of.

So far I think I'm really going to like my Digital Photography class I think it'll be fun. And for 13stars. If you still want me to take photos of your work I will be more than happy to still do that since it will also full-fill an assignment I have to do eventually. ^^

My teacher is pretty cool and he's pretty nice. My print media teacher is nice and pretty cool too, but he makes me just a tad nervous, I think its mostly just because he's a little hyper. XD;;;;

This class I am a little more worried about since the only programs I know are Photoshop and InDesign, but I havent used InDesign for years so its mostly Photoshop I am really confident in.

My next class is Time Based Image and Compositing and thats the one class I am dreading.....I have no idea what to expect what the teacher is going to be like or even if I will be able to do it. I am hoping I can but we'll have to see. I'm hoping that I will be able to do it.

Oddly all of my classes are in the same damn room so I am practically going to be living in this room. haha. We are using macs, which I hate but fortunately for me I know how to use them.

My only complaint about the damn macs are that the fucking keyboards are really sticky so if I have a bunch of typos and stuff it'll most likely be from these fucking computers. >.< I also have to get use to the fact that I cant use the same commands that I use on a PC but thats just a small thing I can get pass. ITS THIS FUCKING KEYBOARD!!!!

For those of you who might be wondering I am still alive and I am still active. For some reason I have not been in the mood to draw anything or even work on any of the drawings that I have on my computer. There is no explanation for this except that maybe because I am just desperately wanting to be done and out of school that its affecting my desire to draw. I will be trying to complete stuff as well as start working on images for the holidays.

As for me and how I'm doing, my birthday went by without any real moment where I was totally happy, I didnt do anything other than work and go to dinner with my parents. I got a couple of checks from my grandparents as well as a new Video mp3 player from my parents. Other then that no one else from my family gave a shit about me.....

As for school I am getting ready to graduate, this semester I am taking only 12 units instead of the 15 I was going to do because one of my classes was cancelled because I guess not enough people signed up for it.....bummer....so my final semester I will be taking 16 units.... >.< I will be graduating next year in the spring so wish me luck. ^^

Since I havent been as active as Id like to be on here for those of you who would like to get a hold of me or just chat, I am other places, I'm mostly on Livejournal, or Myspace, and I'm sometimes on Neopets too.

For instant messenger I am mostly on myspace IM google talk, yahoo, and AIM.

Today......well, cant say that it sucked but I cant say that it was great. I had to get up butt early, for a meeting, then went to lunch then went to work, then came home. -_-

Tonight I'm going to dinner with my parents and I'm finally getting my 30 Creative Vision W. Yay.

Other then that, nothing interesting or fun, and every year I get further proof that my family other than my parents, dont give a RATS ASS about me and yet they expect me to go to their birthdays and shit....fuck that.

Like I said, not a totally sucky day but its this time of the year that I realize how fucking stupid my family is.....

Oh well not going to let it ruin whats left of my day. Now if I can just find my damn cell phone. O_o;;

**********

We went to the luffa farm! Oh it was such a cute place, unfortunately they didnt have any luffas on a vine because they lost all of their luffas during the california freeze. T-T So they had to get new plants. Their gift shop was really small but super cute! ^^ They had luffas (of course), masks and wraps, sachets, bath fizzlers, coasters, soaps, bath salts, lotions, bath gels, and bath teas. *__* Their scents include:

Lavendar, mulberry, rose, spearmint, vanilla, strawberry, china rain, peppermint, apricot, banana, citrus twist, coconut, baby powder, gardenia, hearty spice, jasmine, plumeria, tuberose, and cucumber!

I ended up buying some rose scented bath salts, bath tea, and a fizzler since i love roses. *__*

Then we had lunch at Firestone Brewery and went home where I came home to six rather unhappy butterflies. XD;;; All except for two decided that while I was gone would be a good time for them to hatch. XD;;;; Three of them were on the top of a basket so we put the basket over this container to put ice tea in so I didnt have butterflies flying around my room. The other three were in my canopy. The three in the canopy were fine but the three in the ice tea container were at the bottom all trying to climb up the sides of the container and walking all over each other. XD;;;;

So me and my mom managed to get them into the canopy where they aggravated the other three so I had six really pissed off butterflies flying around in the canopy. I felt so bad even though it was a little funny. XD;;

After we got them in the canopy and left them alone they calmed down and now they all seem pretty happy. Two of them are huge and two of them are medium sized. The other two are super tiny, they're so cute! ^-^ I'm going to try and get pictures of them right now before I go to bed, because I'm releasing them tomorrow after work, and I dont know how anxious they'll be to get out, so they may or may not be in the mood to pose for us tomorrow. XD;;;;

But I'm so proud that I have six very healthy butterflies! ^^ Also really glad to be home! XD

One of those days I shouldnt have gotten out of bed. It starte with me leaving my mp3 player at home, which wasnt a big big deal, but when I found that I had left my bus pass at home, and not enough cash to take the bus to and from school I decided to go home and my mom was willing to take me. So I got the bus to the transfer center and got on the bus to go home.

Well....on the way to the Wells Transfer Center the buses alarm went off and it shut down at the intersection! O__O;; The driver called and said that the bus shut down and he didnt want to restart it because the gas alarm had gone off before the bus shut down. I then got my backpack and decided to start walking cause the bus driver told me that he was probably going to be there for an hour. So I walked two miles with a bad ankle and a bad knee all the way home....It sure felt more like five miles with all the hills but I finally got home.

On the way home I decided that today just wasnt a good day to go to school....I dont normally like to miss school but I just couldnt deal with the stress, my legs hurt, I was tired as hell and I just needed to relax and do some housework. -__-

I should also work on my technical drawing for my illustration class. >.

I sold two of my prints at the university's art sale at a $100 each, half of it goes to charity and the other half went to me, so I'm happy that I made $100! But I didnt know how they gave the money to the people who got money. I asked my teacher and she told me to talk to Jack, who's the chairman of the art department. So I wanted because I didnt have class till four, I waited and waited until fifteen minutes before class and decided to leave and come back afterwards. On my way to class I saw Jack and me and one of my classmates talked to him about getting the money, my classmate told him that he was going to come back after class, but Jack told me that he wasnt sure if he received a check for my artwork and if I had the pieces. I told him that the two I sold werent there, so he told me that he wasnt sure what happened.

At this point I have to go to class because I had a presentation to do for my final but I also know that the possibility of someone stealing my artwork really bothered me. So I decided to go with Jack and see if the person who bought them came back. We went to his office and looked through the receipts, he told me that if they were infact stolen (which would have been a first) he would pay me the money out of the funds for charity. It didnt make me happy to hear that cause I didnt want that to happen but at the same time it made me mad that someone may have taken them. Fortunately we found the receipts and I got my check for the pieces.

I found out that the woman who paid for my artwork is a "preferred customer" someone who i guess has bought stuff there before. So I was happy. He told me that he really liked me work, that it was very good, and he showed me the artwork of this girl who does comic books. I was really impressed and he told me thank you for participating in the art sale and submitting my artwork.

He then went on to say that he wanted me to keep in touch with him next semester because he wants to use some of my work on the University's website!!!! I'm so damn happy! I really feel like a professional now. This has been such a good first semester at the university, it really makes me think and realize that I made a good decision to come here, I'm so happy! ^^

So my parents went to the art sale at my university with me. We got there and I saw my supervisor there as well which I thought was really nice since I didnt expect him to show up. There was a lot of people there since it was a saturday but there was still some people looking around. We looked at the art and I told my parents about some of the other artists that I know and the work that I watched them work on in my class. Then we went to the ceramics room where my mom fell in love with a pot that someone in my class had made. My mom liked it so much she bought it. The girl who made it who also put the show together saw my mom paying for it and she asked me if they were my parents, I told her yes and then she told me that she was the one who made it. I told her my mom really liked it a lot and I also told her that I really liked her bronze work. She told me that she likes working with Bronze but that she didnt think a lot of the stuff would sell cause it was expensive. But I told her that while that might be the case I thought that the work was deffinately worth the amount she put down and that if someone could afford it that they would deffinately pay for it. She agreed and when my mom finished paying for it I introduced her to the girl, and my mom told her that the pot she bought stood out (for her) from the rest of the stuff. I then saw one of my classmates who creates these amazing instalations and he paints some very interesting things. He said hi gave me a hug and asked me how I was doing, I told him I was doing fine and asked him how he was doing he said the same thing. ^^

After that we went home. I dont think that I will sell any of the other pieces that I did but I think the fact that I sold to prints was pretty amazing for me! And it makes me really happy. ^^

The prints that I sold were these:

Angel by =KohakuShadow on deviant ART

and

Creed by =KohakuShadow on deviant ART

The other prints that I submitted were these:

The Hand That Gives the Rose by =KohakuShadow on deviant ART

Plug in Baby by =KohakuShadow on deviant ART

The Fragrance that Remains.... by =KohakuShadow on deviant ART

Standing Still by =KohakuShadow on deviant ART

and

So Far Away by =KohakuShadow on deviant ART

If I dont sell any of the other ones I might put them up for sale. I am selling them for $100 because they are printed out on very nice semi-glossy paper, they have been matted and framed, as well as being signed by me, therefore it is very much worth the money. But I will have to think about it since I may just save them for next year and sell them then. I will have to see.

The fact that two of them sold made me extremely happy and it really makes me feel like a professional! ^^ And I may have to go through some of my drawings as well cause I might want to sell some of them as well but I need to look through them as well as figuring out how much to charge. ^^

tagged me! Sorry I've been so busy I don't check here that often.

Rules:
First, the tagger says 6 habits/things about themself.
Next, the tagger picks 6 other people to tag and lists them on the their journal.
Then, those picked 6 people need to do a journal entry explaining the rules clearly and do 6 habits/things about themselves, too.

1. I have rather low self esteem when it comes to my art. Those of you who know me have already scolded me about this. Haha.

2. I am very shy and I tend to spend most of the time listening to my music and drawing. I sit alone, and typically other people have to come to me first, they have to talk to me first. Otherwise I ignore everyone.
3. I love to draw, and paint, I don't get to paint a lot but I do draw alot. These are my passions.
4. I'm a sensitive person. Sometimes its cause I'm caring and sometimes its just cause I'm overly sensitive. XD;
5. I'm honest, sometimes too honest though if I don't know you I tend to lie or I just don't say much.
6. I have a very good relationship with my parents, to the point that people sometimes get jealous of me.

1.

I need a break from all the work I have to do. Its sad, I don't think i have finished or even touched one drawing on my computer this semester. I have sketches, and doodles and stuff like that, but I'm getting so backed up that I'm going to be playing catch-up for a long time.

I feel like nothing is as good as it should be, my efforts seem to be in vain....I have paintings but no one here cares about stuff like that. I don't even know why I submit anything for contests I mean everything is so half done its embaressing. I am tired of writing essays....but I have to in order to pass my classes. I try to get my homework done early so I can actually do some of my artwork but I fail. I fail I fail I fail....

I get so tempted to take my work down cause now everything looks like crap to me.... *sighs* its my frustration talking......and the fact that I look at artwork from people who are just so good I feel like everything I do sucks ass....I really need to stop thinking like this but I cant help it....just one of my little quirks.

Today me and my mom woke up and picked my dad up on the road after the ride him and his buddies did. We took some pictures listened to the birds and just had some fun before we went driving around and got something to eat. Then we went back to the Motel room and ate while my dad took a shower. Then we went back out and went to this wine tasting room for Bedfords winery, I really liked their Gewurztraminer, and a couple of their reds, but I did not like the Syrah or the Petite Sirah. I think its because its such a strong red that I just don't like it, I don't like the taste, I tend to like the lighter reds, like the Merlot, the Cabernet Franc, and certain Cabernet Sauvingons. Syrahs and Petite Sirahs I have yet to like. XD;

After that we went for a small drive and went to a winery called Kalyra (cal-eye-ra) it was really busy and really noisy, and many of the people there looked like they were at the end of their wine tasting tours cause they were VERY happy. XD So we waited and the first wine we tried was a Chardonnay, that was rich and crisp, it was one of the first Chardonnays that I really liked. Then we tried a Riesling that was off-dry, it was rich and crisp, and had a very nice finish. the nezt one was a Gewurztraminer and it was also an off-dry wine, that had just an amazing finish. It was very clean and crisp, I loved it.

Then we had their reds one was called MC squared and it was 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Canbernet Sauvignon, the other was a Cabernet Sauvignon. They were both good, but me and my mom both thought that they needed to sit for another year or two before they would be really ready to drink. We found out later the owner likes to release the reds as soon as they've been bottled. I guess some people like to drink red wine as soon as they've been bottled. XD

Then we had their desert wines, one was called Orange Muscat, and itwas just an amazingly rich wine that had a wonderful finish. It was just sweet enough, and it was just an amazing wine. the Aussie Tawny Port was also just as amazing, it was also sweet had a slight maple and raisin taste, but oh it was so good, I really enjoyed it, my mom agreed with me that it would probably go good with ice cream, or some kind of chocolate desert. But oh it was so good.

I was only going to get a bottle of the Riesling and the Gewurztraminer, so was my mom so we could have two of each and a bottle of the Chardonnay, but I liked almost everything so much that we ended up getting one Chardonnay, two Riesling, two Gewurztraminer, two Orange Muscat, and two Aussie Tawny Port. So now that I've spent all the money that I allowed myself for this trip, I'm kind of bummed, but not really since this winery had some amazing wines. My mom joined the wine club there so now we'll get two bottles of wine every three months, we'll get discounts on wine, and we get free wine tastings for up to six people. I'm so happy! XD;

After that we went to dinner and had an amazing dinner, that ended with a cordial, I had Creme de Menth, it was green, but it was so good. I was so happy. ^^ Today was a good day, I had a lot of fun. ^^

Well today I went to work, and then after that we made it up to Beullton for the Lure of the Grapes. We got to the Motel checked in, and when we got into the room it was really dark! There was a balcony and a wonderful view of a wall. We weren't in there that long and my mom called the front desk complaining about the room, since we had booked this room months in advance, so the room that we got should have been better than this.

So we got a room change, but there are some things wrong with this room too, but at least there's more light in the room. But next year we decided that we should probably either stay at the Marriot, or the Ramada Inn or something, cause even if it costs more its better than this shitty room.

Its stupid because the rates for this motel went up, and this place is expensive all because this stupid motel was in the movie Sideways. So ridiculous. Tonight around 6:30 I will be going out to dinner at the Firestone Tap Room, so I don't know when I will be back on Shizu. Hopefully we wont take too long so I can talk to you. T_T

I don't have a lot of money this time around because I bought Asagis single and I also pre-orders D's new album, so I may save any spending for Los Olivos tasting room. Cause they have a wonderful bottle of Port that I love. Same with their Riesling. XD;

My professor in my critical thinking class cried yesterday. Apparently there are some people in my class who don't want to do any work and yet pass the class. Some people didn't understand that the word "logos" means Universal truth and logic, the opposite of Mythos (thank you Shizu). Some people thought that it meant we were going to be looking at something like the Nike logo or something. Also many people didn't understand the test, which I dont see why since its only four questions.

It was sad and today in class I talked to her about yesterday and she asked me for my opinion on the class and I told her that I liked it because I learned about how everything in art, even todays art relates back to the ancient Greeks. She had me tell the Art and Mass media class today what happened, and I told her that it was sad. She asked me why I said that and I told her that I hate seeing my teachers sad, (especially when I really like my teachers.) She smiled at me and said thank you, which made me feel good.

Today in Politics and Film we watched Dr. Strangelove, I think its a strange movie and obviously Stanely Kubrick had a very strange fixation on Sex. A lot of people liked the movie, I personally did not, I thought there was some good points, and there were some humorous stuff, but overall I just thought it was strange, and kind of disturbing.

I don't know I guess I'm just not into movies like that, I mean it was interesting in a sense, but there was just too much that went on that didn't really make any sense to me.

I had to get up at six this morning to go with my mom to the government building to drop off our artwork for the County Art show. I got a few invitations and then I got me and my mom breakfast, I got a latte but it tasted like clorine, so I had to go back and tell them that my coffee tasted bad, so the guy gave me another one but it was a small and I had paid three bucks for a large so I had to tell him that I got a large and instead of putting the latte I had in another cup he made me another one so I ended up with a small and a large latte. XD;;;

So my mom took me to work and I gave some of the invitations around to my co-workers and invited them to the reception. Then I got out of work a little late but I felt that I could still make it to the bus stop in time, but then I found out that I didn't have my bus pass so I had to call my mom and told her what happened but that I had a little bit of money to make it to the bus stop, but then I missed the bus so I ran trying to get to the bus stop but I didn't make it, and a truck was parked where the bus was suppose to stop which I thought was illegal. So my mom told me that she would pick me up and just take me to school. But this meant she was going to be late for work which I felt really bad about, but I appreciated the face that she did it.

At school in Politics and film we watched the rest of Grapes of Wrath which I thought was one of the most boring movies I have seen it started out boring, didn't get interesting until the end and then the ending was so anticlimactic that I wondered why I was there. The discussion was pretty interesting though. After that I walked around the campus and then went to my art and mass media class and had a really good time listening to her lecture. And I now have a new favorite artist...

Caravaggio, Oh my god, he is simply amazing, his details, the way he paints glass, oh god its just amazing and beautiful to look at oh god its just amazing his work, its so rich and beautiful, oh I'm in love with his work.

After school I took the bus to the train station and then got confused because there were two buses that came at the same time and I ended up getting on the wrong bus that ended up going south instead of north so I had to get off at the first stop and get off to wait for my parents. Oh I was so pissed, and I was so upset I wanted to cry. I ended up hanging out at a Starbucks because I had to wait an hour. -_-

I got home finally and took a shower because I needed one. I'm so greatful that tomorrow I get to sleep in and I can finish my painting. So happy.

Although today I got to see a squirrel stalk a guy so that was funny. XD;

I'm not one to make mountains out of mole hills, but I'm tired of letting people walk all over me, tired of just allowing people to say shit without an explanation.

So heres the deal, I will accept a crit, an observation, or a criticism, only if you give me a good explanation as to why you feel that way. I'm tired of rude comments that are left wide open and left to be interpretated. Being honest or having an opinion is fine, as long as you're not mean nasty or rude and you give me a reason....

I've grown fed up with it....tired of it, and there have been to many times people have hurt my feelings because of shit like that.

I know I'm sensitive and my feelings can be hurt, but I try hard to not let shit like that hurt me. So just as a warning, be nice about it, honesty is good as long as you're nice about it.

Right now I'm trying to get stuff together though because I want to sell some of the manga and stuff that I don't want. What I plan to do is I am going to be selling a lot of stuff. Manga, a couple of DVD's, A couple of anime items, Magazines, Old collectors Comic Book, and Music CD's mostly English ones probably since I still like my anime and J-rock CD's. XD; So I'll probably post the list when I get everything organized. ^^

And I am so damn tired! I started my first day at the new university I'm going to, my mom dropped me off early so I could do some errands I wanted to do. I ended up getting my bus pass for the semester, then I wandered around looking for my classes, got lost, asked for directions and found the rest of my classes. I wandered around some more and then got something for lunch, sat alone ate, texted my friends and then went looking for the admin office and got my ID card. But Their machine is broken so I have to pick up my ID later. Went to my first class, and I like my professor because he's funny, laid back, and the best part is, I don't have to worry about exams. Just essays. XD; Got out of that class early and wandered around to get something to drink and sat alone again looking at a magazine until my last class for the day. Went to that class and then got out and got on the bus to go home.

I like the school, its a nice environment, it still needs more work, but its a super nice campus and has a nice atmosphere. Its not real big, but that decieves since the buildings may not be that big, but there are so many little pockets and hallways that its sometimes easy to get lost or turned around. XD;;

The only problem I have is that, I don't know anyone there, I have no friends there, and most of the people I do know that go there, I never liked to begin with, so I'm really bummed out, and really lonely there.....I'm hoping that will change but I don't know, most of the people in my class I don't really care for either, so its going to be interesting....

It doesn't take that long, so please sign the petition and help stop the blood shed.

Mood: Angry
Listening to: D - Hourglass

I'm just, I'm just annoyed at work right now, I don't really want to be working at the moment, but next week I have been forced to take Friday and Monday off so I figure that is a good time to say, "I deserve it" since I don't take time off except for when i go to AX, and when i can't work because of my schedule....

But I was told that I was going to be needed to do inventory at Moorpark Library, and I said that I was in school but that I could work immediately after I had my final. Well that rolls around and then I'm told that I'm not needed. Then I was told that I might be needed, then again I was told that I wasn't needed, so I was ok with that to an extent. Then I was told this morning that I might be needed to do ten hours of work.... O.o O....K......

Now I've been told that I am deffinately going to be needed, which means that I have to get up early in the morning so that I can go up there with my boss. That also means that I am going to miss one of my co-workers birthday lunch....The only good thing about this is that the money that I would normally have spent for lunch I will be able to save, and this also means that I will also be getting a slightly bigger check...unfortunately not this time around cause I already filled out my time sheet, but that's ok, its money that I will be needed for Yaoi-con. As well as whatever evil and have been planning. O.o *ish scared*

I'm mad at my style of drawing, as well as my style of coloring. I guess because I'm in such an angry mood I am dealing with it by taking stabs at my own artwork....Pent up frustration when I see people who color and draw way better than me. I have nothing against anyone, its just I look at their stuff and say, "damn, I wish I could draw/color like that!" Then when I say that and look at my own stuff I sit there and point out all the things that are wrong with it...like my style of drawing just seems wrong and very disporportionate....even when I read books on anatomy it still seems like my stuff comes out wrong. I also complain about my coloring because it just seems so unclean to me...and even though sometimes it can take me weeks to finish a drawing it seems to rushed.....

I often think that I should maybe quit drawing, but I love it so much, its my passion and the rational side of me just says its because I'm just annoyed at things that are going on in my life, and I beleive that whole heartedly...because I know the only way to get better is to keep doing it, keep trying, and just realize the things I need to work on, and never forget to never be afraid of experimenting. Its the only way to get better.

Listening to: D - Sleeper

Friday I worked in the morning, then my parents picked me up and we went over to 's house and picked her up. We got lunch and ate at my house. We talked and after lunch we went to my room and watched Gazette videos, and I played her some of the D'espairs Ray music that I have, and we watched more Host Club! OH how I love that show! XD;

When it was time to go my parents took us to the harbor and we played DDR there, showed up and we played one more round of DDR then went to the restraunt The Greek. We talked, watched the dancing ate, had fun and then we went looking for a place that had chocolate or something because was in the mood for something. After that we went home.

Yesterday I basically just vegged out and organized my files, backed up stuff and got rid of stuff I didn't need or want anymore.

Today my dad got us breakfast and then I was picked up by and we went to the county fair! We looked at the horses, walked around, ate a little bit, took a stress test, talked, and I bought a few things for my parents. Then we went back to my house and I showed her D's PV "Sleeper" then I showed her the making of the video which I find incredbly cute. Then she went home and now I'm just relaxing trying to get my bug bites to stop itching.

I already know I am going to be cosplaying as Akira at Yaoi con, and I might do Prince of tennis, but that's still undecided....

But now I am already thinking about what I want to do for AX next year! XD; I want to do Togainu no Chi again, and I don't know if I will do PoT again or not, but I also want to do Host Club, (although I have to figure out who I could cosplay as....) and I want to do Gazette Cosplay! >_< I want to cosplay as either Uruha or Aoi....But I would kind of like to do the shirt that says, "Gazrock is not dead." That would be fun I think... *sighs*

But now I also want to cosplay as Asagi from the Sleeper Music Video... AAAAGH! Will this not end!? XD; Though, Asagis would be easy since its just a suit and all I would have to get used to is the contacts. Although if I do eventually decide to get my hair cut like Uruha's it will cause a problem....I don't know yet though...

I want to do so many cosplays for next year and Its not even yaoi con....Gahh....Leave me alone brain! XD;;

Listening to: Gazette - Shadow VI II I

How you find ways to piss me off....

I know it hasn't been that long since my class ended, but still....I would like to know my grade NOW, so that I can send my official transcripts to Channel Islands and then send in my request to graduate with my AA. >_<

I've been thinking about it long and hard and I am going to have to talk to someone about what classes I should be taking, since I know its a studio art, but I need to figure out what classes I should be taking in order to go into the field of Commerical/graphic arts or whatever will give me the most options to me.

I don't want to go into fine arts, even though I like to paint, because it doesn't provide a steady income, and I know that won't work for me.

I'm also constantly thinking about what I am going to have to do about work. I don't know if I will be able to work at Central during the week except for Friday because since I'm taking the bus I need to give myself enough time to get to class without rushing.

So I've been thinking, that I should either think about getting a job on campus, or start to open up comissions. I have a slight idea as to how I want to charge, but I just haven't acted on it, since I want to charge something that will be fair to me and the amount of time that I put into the picture, but at the same time something that is fair to everyone else.

I'll have to think about it, since I also have a bunch of stuff that I would like to sell, like CD's, Doujinshis, and other stuff. So I need to get pictures and pricing ready for that too. *sighs* I just want to make sure I have enough money coming to me for this semester, since I didn't think about it too hard. I also didn't have a ton of options open to me....

I'm done with summer school, now I just have to wait for my lazy ass teacher to send my final grade in so that I can complete my transfer! Woooo! Then I can finally work on completing my school and get my bachelors. Yess! So happy!

Anyway, I will now have some time to complete a little bit of artwork before school starts again. Although, because I owe people artwork and stuff like that, I will probably have to finish that first before I complete anything else I have drawn.

I will also update a the list of series I can draw. If you would like the full list, please tell me, because right now I am only listing the series that I am into at the moment. I can draw a little more than what I list. XD

Oh I am so unhappy! I really want the Togainu no Chi figurines that Nitro is going to sell....but I heard that it was best to pre-order it....well I tried the hlj shop because a friend recomended it to me....But when I emailed them about getting them this is the response I got....

"Hello,

I'm sorry to inform you that the items are only exclusive to animate's
website sales and we do not carry such exclusive items.

Thank you."

So did I email the wrong person? Or is it that they really won't get such an item for me..... *cries* It makes me sad....I really want them.....I mean I really really want the figurines not just because its a figurine but because it also comes with a CD which I want.....

I don't know what I'm going to do....I may just have to wait until it comes out and try to quickly find a place that sells it. Or my other option is, I will be willing to either pay someone, the cost of the item, and the shipping to have it shipped to their place, as well as the shipping costs to have it sent to my house. Or I am willing to do a trade with someone for something of the same value. Either way I am desperate.....and really pissed off because Nitro+Chiral sucks in the sense that they do not ship internationally like many places....and that there are no sites that will ship internationally that carry or will preorder the item for you.....

This is probably one of the few reasons I hate living in the US....

This is probably the last post I make before I leave tomorrow. I will not be bringing my laptop with me because I will probably not be in the hotel long enough to use it. XD;

My cell phone number is on my LJ, but its under a friends lock.

If you are at AX and would like to stop by, I am staying at the Sheraton, not sure what the hotel number is yet hence the cell. XD;

Otherwise you can probably find me walking around, I will either be cosplaying as Akira from Togainu no Chi, or Shishido from Hyoutei. Depending on the day.

We are going to see Hyde and Mana, we will also be going to the House of Blues in Anaheim to see Hyde in concert, we are going to the Prince of Tennis Gathering and the Yaoi gathering. Wee! Other then that there are no real plans so if you want to do anything give me a call. ^_^

Later!

Sorry I haven't been on here much but I have been working, going to school and getting ready for AX, so I haven't been able to finish anything. I've been slowly working on stuff when I have the change so I will try to upload it as soon as I get it finished. I will probably be able to work on stuff a little more once AX has passed. This years its been busy because I have two cosplay cotumes i have been getting together. I ordered a Seigaku jersey so me and my friends can cosplay for that. And I have been working with on getting our Togainu no Chi cotumes somewhat decent. This year my costume might not be perfect, but I think it will work for now.

I do have some "innapropriate" work that I have been finishing, so if you have a Y!gallery account, keep an eye out for my updates, if you want to. ^-^

But because DA is like that I can't upload my "hard" yaoi stuff. *pouts*

Mood: Tired
Watching: Law and Order: CI

Well today it was a little quieter, a lot better of a day, but the problem with the woman in Automation is still a problem, since I still have five more reams of card stock that I need to finish. We can move her to the back while I copy, I can copy a little and then distribute, I can copy when she's not here, which doesn't happen at all..... or I could just say screw it and do it anyway, but the big bottom line is, IT NEEDS TO GET DONE!!!! These have to be done, they have to get out and she's making it very difficult to get my work done. So what my boss told me was to basically stop making copies until we figure something out or until I run out of the folders. So this just keeps getting better. But my boss apparently doesn't really like this woman and she really doesn't want her around, which I don't blame her but unfortunately she's not in charge of the people who work in automation. So its not up to her. *sighs*

I finally got around to calling SBC to deal with my internet problem. I find it interesting how all the people I got didn't speak english as a first language. Gah! the guy walked me through some steps and finally after about a half an hour or so he told me that my router had a strong connection, (well I knew that and that's not the problem) but it seemed that my laptop was having problems communicating with the router, so I had to call HP. So he gave me the number and I called HP, where I get another person who didn't speak english as a first language either. *sigh* But she was a little easier to understand, so she walks me through a bunch of shit and eventually what I ended up having to do was uninstall all of my network adapters, turn off my computer, turn off the router, unplug everything that was in the router, wait thirty seconds and then plug everything back in and turn it back on, and turn my laptop back on. It seemed to work so now I have happy internet time.

And what I think happened was because I had my own adapter and the adapter that came with the DSL stuff, it got confused and so it was having trouble communicating with the router.

Not exactly the way I wanted to spend my afternoon but it works now, so I'm happy.

I have to get up early tomorrow so I can get to work early, more distribution. XD;

My internet seems to be working fine, for the computers that are connected to the router. But for some reason my laptop lost all connections. I can't connect to the internet even though I have the software installed. I didn't have a a problem connecting to anything when I'm out of town but for some reason our SBC connection is non-existence for my laptop. I'm calling SBC tomorrow when I get home because I have done everything I know of to fix it and it doesn't seem to be working. I have the wireless connection using the adapter I have in my laptop but that doesn't seem to find the router either! Its stupid!!!!

Today at work sucked ass as well....I have been printing off folders for the Summer Reading Program that need to be done, because they are being sent to the different branches that are running the program. I was printing the folders off when one of the women who works in automation came up to me and asked how many more I had to do, I was listening to my headphones, but I took them off and told her that I still had several thousand to print off. She looks at me and says:

"Cause that's so fucking annoying I can't think."

I kind of look at her for a second but I reply nicely that I was sorry. She walked away and I kept doing the folders. A little while later she comes back up to me and grabs me by the arm and tells me to stop doing what I was doing because it was annoying her. By this point I'm upset because these have to be done, they have to be done now, so they can be sent out. So I go to the woman I'm working with and she asks me what's wrong, I tell her what happened and she looks at me shocked and tells me to tell my boss (supervisor) about what happened. I go to where she works but talked to someone who works in aquisitions and told her what happened, she told me that I should deffinately talk to my supervisor and told me she was in the back helping someone clean CD's.

I go into the back and tell her that I need to talk to her when she has the time. We go into the staff room and I tell her what happened. She looks at me suprised and asked me if she really used the F-word, I told her she did and she immediately went over to Automation and talked to her. I went back over to Children's and helped find stuff that my other supervisor was trying to find. My boss comes back eventually and told me that the woman didn't remember using the F-word that it may be because I had my headphones on, I told her that I may have missheard it, but that I always take my headphones off when people talk to me, and that hearing "Fucking" is not the kind of word I would spontaneously think up when talking to someone. She understood completely and apologized about what happened, especially since this woman had no right to address me in that way let alone touch me like that, because I am not in a position where I can really defend myself from that sort of an attack, and its not the type of thing where I can say, "Ok!" and find something else to do...This needs to get done!!!

Later on after my boss told this woman to apologize to me because it really upset me, she eventually did come over to me. But her apology was really wierd. She basically said:

"I'm sorry I yelled at you I didn't mean to, it was just that was really annoying me, but I didn't mean to take it out on you, and I know you didn't choose to do this."

I sat there and said ok, and that it was ok, but that was mostly because I didn't really want to talk to her anymore, because in the back of my mind I was thinking, "WHAT THE HELL!?" Its as though she apologized and yet wanted me to apologize for what I was doing. Well I'm sorry but I like what I'm doing, I enjoy it, and I like working on the SRP! Besides, SHE grabbed ME, she yelled at ME! I didn't do anything but do the job that I was assigned to do....

The woman I work for in the Childrens services department asked me if this woman apologized, and I said that but that it was a wierd sort of apology, I explained it to her and she agreed with me. My boss came over and asked me if the woman had apologized and I told her she did, she asked me if if was ok, or begrudging. I told her that it was an ok apology, there was a slight sincere tone. She was happy that I wasn't as upset about it as I was earlier. Later on in the day before I left while I was getting the packages ready for the libraries the head of the Automations department came over to me and asked me as well if the woman had apologized to me. I told him she did and... ]]> ~KohakuShadow Oh the trauma! http://KohakuShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8819306/ http://KohakuShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8819306/ Fri, 19 May 2006 18:46:43 PDT

Today I had to go to the dentist to get a filling put in. I had a cavity inbetween my teeth so I had to get that done. After the novacain was shot through the lower right part of my face he started work on my teeth.

He apparently had to take out the two fillings my last dentist put in and then get my teeth ready for the other filling. They put this thing in my mouth I think it was a vice or a clamp, but it gives him a little more room to work with. But he put the fillings in and then let me go home. But my face was numb and it was kind of hard to talk I sounded like I was on drugs. XD;

But me and my mom went to get some clothes but I wasn't really in the mood so I ended up not getting anything. We went to Jamba Juice afterwards and I got a smoothie and a pretzel. The novacain wore off and my mouth started to throb. I can now feel where my dentist put that thing on my teeth. I took some aleve and I'm still working on my smoothie but for the most part I feel ok, just sore.

Watching: Murder She Wrote

Ok...I know I say this over and over again, and I apologize for that, but you know what the fact that I have to repeat shit, means that people either don't listen/read or they just don't give a shit....But...

READ THE FUCKING DESCRIPTIONS OF AN IMAGE BEFORE YOU COMMENT!!!

How hard is that for people to understand, and that goes for reading comments and knowing what the hell you're talking about....I am so sick of getting harrassed by people who don't read shit, don't listen and fail to give a shit about anything...I can't stress it enough....

I don't like being harrassed by people because they don't like what I do, well you know what? To fucking bad! They're my characters, if I draw fanart, then its not my fault its whoever created the character, but the bottom line is, if I draw one of my characters then I would expect people to respect my characters accordingly...if you don't like something, then don't comment, I dont feel like having to put up with bullshit from people who feel that they're justified to harrasse me for any reason...

With that said...this is how things are going to go from now on...

If you watch me or occasionally visit my gallery these are the new rules...

1. If you post a rude ass comment to me about one of my drawings I will either politely disreguard your comment or ignore it...

2. If you post another rude comment or harrass me in any way, I will give you one warning....

3. If you continue to want to harrass me or post rude comments to me, I will report you.

4. If you want to continue to harrass me after that, I will ignore you all together no matter what you do...

I don't want to sound like a bitch but this is the last straw...I'm tired of getting picked on and harrassed by people...if you don't like something, talk to me like a grown adult, and we'll see if we can solve the problem...but I will not allow people to think that they can pick on me, and think there won't be some kind of punishment...I'm through with it...I'm not going to deal with it anymore...

Well I'm sitting in the lobby area of a hotel posting this because its still unclear as to whether or not I can get it in the room. They say I cant, I say:

Just watch me.

But bascially I'm in Atascadaro because my dad did a bike ride and afterwards me and my mom and my dad all went wine tasting. It was nice except that our first choice ended up being the same area where the porche club was going. So there was like 70+ cars that blocked the only way into the damn winery. So we had to stay there half of the time listening to their wise cracks and I was so close to saying something terrible to some of these people but somehow I managed to stay calm.

As anyone who watches me has noticed, I haven't updated anything lately because I have been swamped with essay after essay after essay because my teacher has us writing these essays that I don't want to do. So that's one of the main reasons I have yet to finish anything. I have a lot of stuff inked in, but not much colored and until I'm officially done with my english class there probably wont be much of my work getting done. Sad I know but I will have most of the summer to be able to work on stuff. Yippee.

Hopefully I'll be able to work more on my stuff later but we shall have to see what I have to do in terms of writing essays that I don't want to write. -_-

Lets see, I've been busy and I've had a few little set backs. XD;;;

For spring break I went to Davis and visited and . We went shopping, hung and and they kind of showed me around the campus. I have pictures of the trip that I will probably upload. Just have to remember.

I came back and couldn't find my tablet pen so I had to order another one. Not happy, but I got it this week so I'm happy again. Yet I still haven't found my first one. It'll show up I know it will.

I've started getting the stuff I want for my cosplay costumes. I am getting two wigs, I have a display and a wig cap already coming on its way and I have to just get some measurments for some of the costumes I'm getting.

Working, drawing, and the like is what I'm doing. Wee.

Oh yeah and for people interested. If there are any Togainu no Chi fans going to AX this year me and are starting a Togainu no Chi Cosplay group. I'm going as Akira and She's going as Gunzi. So if there is anyone who would like to join, please tell me. I'm also doing a Seigaku Cosplay group, I'm going to either cosplay as Tezuka or Ryoma, is going to be Inui and is going to be Kaidoh. I was also going to do Atobe, but the person who wanted to do Hyoutei with me probably won't be able to do it, and I really wanted to Cosplay as Akira, so I put Atobe on hold.

So yeah that's what's been going on. XD;;

Well I can't find my tablet pen so I had to order another one, which more than likely means that I will find the damn thing after I get it... >_< So once again all of my artwork has been put on hold...AGAIN!

But I've been doing a few glitters like this!

So I figure, while I'm waiting for my pen to be delivered, if you would like a glitter, just give me the the name you want, pick a color, and tell me if you would like a little decoration at the end of your name like I did for mine.

I'm bored and feeling like doing stuff for mah friends. ^_^

Well actually I've been back since Wednesday, but I just now started to update stuff. I had a lot of fun up at Davis, visiting and . It was nice to just hang out with them, and talk. I haven't seen them since New Years so I'm totally happy. ^^

I have pictures I will be uploading later on, I just have to organize and fix them up. I also have a lot of lineart to color so I'll be working on that too. Also have to work on my novels and the sort of Round-Robin that I'm in. XD;;

Also, I am planning a couple of Cosplays, I'm going to be doing Prince of Tennis and Togainu no Chi with friends, and I'm looking for people who know these series and are going to AX so we can maybe do a group or something.

For Prince of Tennis we have a Ryoma, a Kaidoh, and an Inui.

For Togainu no Chi I'm cosplaying Akira, and is going to cosplay Gunzi. If you want to join the group just tell me so we can plan and stuff.

Mood: PISSED OFF!!!
Listening to: Dir en Grey - Domestic Fucker Family

You know what....I'm beyond pissed off! And I think I officially hate DA! Will I leave? Probably not, but I have now lost all respect for DA, and nothing will be able to gain it back...

Snover on Y!gallery fucking....SOLD OUT!!!! Y!gallery is now part of DA! And that pissed me off! The whole point of Y!gallery was a place to be able to post up stuff that couldn't be posted up here on DA, it was an independent site that was just what everyone wanted...a gallery without DA hindering rules....I went to that site so I could post my yaoi, and my More hard core or "Suggestive" stuff...

I'm just....UGH! I don't even know what to think! This came as a shock to everyone on the site and its fucking stupid...DA is becoming the Bill Gates of all art sites....Monopolizing everything....Although Snover did this without dicussing it with the rest of the people who were on the staff...

I'm beyond pissed off...I can't even think of a coherent sentence...I'll get over it and just continue to move along my merry way since I like to post my work for people to see....But I'm going to really have to start thinking about my options and about what I might do...I guess if I have to I may have to creat another journal or community on Livejournal just so I can post my stuff....

I'l have to think about this at a not so stressful point, like right now with my speech and essay due....

Mood: Tired
Listening to: Muse - Sober
Watching: CSI: Miami

I left my bookbag outside in the rain at school....Yeah I did...We were almost to CompUSA when I realized that I didn't have it. So we had to drive all the way across town to go get it. Well the bag was already gone when I got there so I got really upset and proceeded to run to the admin building and asked the janitor if she had seen it. She said no and to try the campus police. I ran my ass over there and was about to cry when they asked me my name. And they said they had my bag and they were going through it to see if they could find out who it belonged to. I was so greatful that they found it that I could hardly breath or talk and wanted to cry. But the cop was talking to me and it helped me to calm down.

Then my dad took me over to CompUSA so I could see if they had backed up my "My Documents" folder. They hadn't, cause apparently I have 30 GB of stuff on there and they wanted to check with me as to whether I wanted to buy the $100 backup which would back up my folders and give me another 80GB hard drive. But I asked him if I could bring in my external hard drive and they could back up my files. He said that they could do that and they would just charge me $70 for the labor fee. So my dad's going to be kind enough to drop my hard drive over there so they can back it up.

I also found out how long its going to be before I can get my laptop back and start working on stuff again.

Once its sent out, it'll take 21 days to get it back...So guess what fajra! Not going to be able to take my laptop with me. So I'm probably going to have to take my external drive with me if I want to show you stuff, and give you more yaoi manga.

I want my TnC fanbook now...That'll make me happy. *rocks back and forth*

I got a call from the guy at CompUSA, he said that they have to send my computer out...

There is also a posibility that I might loose all of my data...But he's not saying that it'll happen. T_T I hope not, because I have a few images on there that I just finished...and I have my Togainu no Chi game on there!

But I'm keeping my hopes up. I have to call them when their store opens to give confirmation that its ok to send it out. *sigh*

It'll be ok...it'll be ok... *rocks back and forth*

Gotta study for speech test...

I had a soccer game, it was a good time to take out any aggression I have. Not all of it, but a good amount. Now I feel pretty good for the most part.

This woman on the other team who's really good and really nice had a break away, she scored the goal but fell down. At first we thought it was just a sprain.

When the Ambulance came we found out she broke her ankle. That sucks. She's a nice person and its only been a year since she recovered from an injury to her achilles. I hope she's ok.

I'm bummed that Y!Gallery is down for the rest of the month. But they're getting more bandwidth so yay. Hopefully it'll be back up soon.

Mood: Mad
Listening to: Muse - Cave
Reading: Uncle Tom's Cabin (For school)

Well we went to dinner which was incredibly nice. We had a nice time, and I ordered a drink. Actually I got two drinks, which was fine with me, because by the end of the night I had a good enough buzz where even if the guy told me that my laptop had to be serviced I really wouldn't give a shit one way or another.

So after dinner we went to CompUSA and I told the guy what the problem was with my computer. On the board it says they have a $149 service fee. Ouch...But! I don't have to spend an hour or so on the phone trying to explain to the person that I can't get a charge period. The guy tried to turn it on with the battery in, which didn't work. Then he took it into the back and plugged it into a universal adapter.

Apparently he's not getting a charge from that either. He came back and had me fill out a form to possibly have it serviced. He told me that if I had the receipt to give it to him. Well my mom bought it online for my birthday...so we have to mail it to him. No biggie. He tells me that they will probably have to send it to the company to get fixed. GOD DAMMIT!!! *cries* But he said I should get a call in a couple of days, so the positive side to this is, that its a good thing I'm taking care of this as soon as freakin possible, otherwise I would be plum out of luck. This is just annoying to me...real annoying...But it could be a lot worse...

Unfortunately because my laptop crapped out on my I will not be able to finish any more artowork until I get the problem fixed, so for now, everything has come to a complete stop. Want to know what happened? Then commence reading my long winded explanation....I'm to pissed off to even care about anything at the moment...

***Begin Rant***

I was on my laptop finishing the pictures I was going to give my parents for their anniversary and my computer shut down. So I tried to turn it back on...well it wont turn on. It wont charge, it wont turn on, it wont do shit! I have a five pound paperweight that has all of my shit on it. Well almost all of it. Fortunately since I got the external hard drive most of my stuff is on it so whatever's on there is not a ton of stuff, but its still annoying. I am buying my plane ticket for Davis! I don't have enough money for this shit...If it is the battery and/or adapter, then I may have to borrow....MORE money from my parents, which pisses me off...I hate borrowing money..I hate it I hate it...But if it needs to be serviced then I am hoping that HP Is kind enough like Shizuko said to pay for everything since my computer is still under warranty...But If I have to get it serviced then I hope to god that I can have it back before I leave for Davis, otherwise I will be VERY unhappy...But this also means that I cannot finish my falsificatio site...which makes me doubly unhappy since I did some nice artwork for the site, and I pretty much had the layout planned out... T_T I was actually happy since I had so much artwork for my series and now I may not be able to complete anything if its not the battery or Adapter... *cries*

We're going out to dinner for their anniversary...then we'll probably go to CompUSA and see if they can tell me wether I need it serviced or just buy a new battery and/or adapter...

This is really not how I wanted to spend my day since I still have stuff I need to scan and ink...and some stuff I need to tone...

Sometimes. XD; And today was one of those days. I had a soccer game today, I'm on a team that kind of lacks in the things I feel make a winning team, which is not a big deal since they're nice despite the losing streak.

But today we won! Woo! We won despite the fact that I got a cramp in my calf, I hurt my neck and got my left leg cut up from the dirt. I almost scored a couple of times, but that's always what happens. I get close, but I don't always get the passes I need to be able to score. But its not a big deal. XD;

I have to work on my parent's anniversary gift. I know what I'm going to do for my Dad but my mom I'm not sure what I want to do for her. Something that she'll like. *thinks*

I'm also going to be going up North to visit my friends during my Spring Break. I'll be taking the Train and Thruway Bus to get up there so I'll probably be on the bus for like ten hours or so, since its cheaper than the plane ticket. Even Southwest Airlines which is the cheapest is still really expensive for me. T_T

So right now the Train wins despite the long hours I'll be having on the Train.

I'm also going to get the Togainu no Chi Fanbook. Cause its a fairly decent price and since I'm so obsessed with the damn game I have to have it. XD;;; Me dork? Hell yeah.

Speaking of which I will do more TnC fanart after I finish my parents anniversary gifts as well as my fake fansite for a challenge on livejournal. XD;;

Mood: Pissed Off
Watching: TV

You know, I try real hard to do research on the shit that I do, and I try to make myself perfectly clear as to what the point of my artwork is. And yeah I try to give people some insight of my characters. But I am so sick and tired of people who don't read the descriptions, they give you rude comments and they tell you shit that doesn't make any damn sense.

I mean...WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK DESCRIPTIONS ARE FOR!!? If you aren't going to read the description of people work, don't bother commenting. I hate it when people tell me shit that I have already mentioned in the description...look, I've taken life drawing for like four years, I know I still need to work, and I am still taking art classes, but I have learned to see where I have made mistakes. Obviously if I don't mention a mistake, by all means critique, but don't be a an immature little shit. I really hate that....

There was a person, who will remain nameless because its no ones problem but my own, who made a rude comment on one of my images. And if you're a new member to DA, I don't think insulting people, or making rude comments is a good way to start off...it doesn't make people like you and it certainly doesn't go over well with the person you're pissing off.

Its not a real big deal, I just get so irritated with people who give you rude, pointless, or retarted comments for no apparent reason. I mean seriously...act like a mature person...
