                <description><![CDATA[ I decided to move a few things around.  Deviations to scraps, scraps to deviations, whatever.  Over the next day or two, because I started it tonight but I'm tired and I'm going to bed.  So.  Later.<br /><br />BUT.  COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY when I preview my comments, the words that I <s>strike through</s> show up properly struck, but when actually post them it shows the tags and not the effect?  ( <- forgive any improper terminology, i suck at this stuff )<br /><br />ANYWAY.  I TRIED.  D:<br /><br />If I knew where my scanner cords were, I'd totally upload some new doodles.  But I don't.  So I'm not.  Boo.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ HA.<br /><br />HI GAIZ.  So, I really think that I would like to delete everything I've ever posted here, but I wont.  Because I'm really sentimental, and I keep my journal entries as a time line of sorts.  So could you all just pretend that none of my previous journal entries ever happened?  Except maybe my last one, because even though I never drew a single one of those fucking one hundred prompts, a weak, shriveled little voice of optimism somewhere in my gut is piping up that I might one day doodle something loosely related to one of them.  : D  HURR HURR.  FUNNY, I KNOW.<br /><br />In other news, my big fandoms right now are Kingdom Hearts ( again.  yeah, i know it seems like the damn thing will never leave me. ) Katekyo Hitman Reborn! and Code Geass.  OMGYAYZ.  : D  I'd say something like, 'so expect fanart from these' except that would be a lie.  EXPECT NOTHING FROM ME.  You'll probably get it.  : D<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hahaha, hi!  ^ ^-  *waves*<br /><br />I live again!  So I say... >.>  But I always say that, yes?<br /><br />I don't often post in my journal, and you may have noticed that my comments on my drawings are a little awkward... it's mostly because I don't know which side of myself to represent!  ^ ^;;;  Should I act cool and aloof, like so many people that I admire do?  But you know, I've been reading a lot of manga lately (( I mean, I often do, but more so than usual... )) and reading the author's comments in the side panels, and they're all so casual!  And by casual I mean dorky and fan-girly and silly and really, that's how I talk, especially on the internet.  ^ ^;  So what the heck, that's what I'll do.  XD  I'm too brainless to try and act cool.  >.><br /><br />Anyway, that wasn't my point!  XD  (( I'm also not good at journals because what is there to talk about that's interesting enough that people will want to read it?  o.o; ))  My POINT is that I'm planning on submitting things to my Scraps section fairly often from now on, and I don't know if that shows up on your messages or not.  o.o;  So if you feel like taking a look-see, there is proof that I'm still kicking!  ^ ^-<br /><br /><3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Shit's happened, and I was lazy, so I haven't been on in a while.  ^ ^;  But hopefully I'll get off of my lazy ass and update some more soon.  I'm going to weed through my gallery and take out some of my crappier crap, and scan some new shit in.  Thank you to everyone who still remembers me, and more so to those who still like me after all this time.  XD <3<br />

<br />
I tend to let my chickens out of the run to scamper about my backyard for a couple of hours, and they've never left our property before, but today some of them (( I have five )) did, and I found them all except one.<br />

<br />
California Gov. Schwarzenegger's office is accepting calls from anywhere regarding their marriage equality bill. It passed both houses of their legislature, but needs the Governer's approval. It's all automated, so you don't have to talk to anyone.<br />
<br />
Follow these directions:<br />
1. Call the Governor: 916-445-2841<br />
2. Push: 2 (voice your opinion on legislation)<br />
3. Push: 1 (gender-neutral marriage bill - Senate Bill 849)<br />
4. And push: 1 to support marriage equality<br />

Hee.  Stole it from Maui's journal  (( in case you couldnt tell?

                <description><![CDATA[ Hokay!  ^ ^-  So I deleted my gallery and some of my scraps/journal so I could sort-of start over and give off the illusion that maybe I'm actually cool.  o.O;;; XD;<br />
<br />
I made my first DevID.  *points down*  See?  I'm a ninja.  XD;  <3<br />
<br />
Aaaaand... I'm working on some original artwork, as well as my first DN fanart (( its coming out okay )) and my first real attempt at a Maui fanart (( which is coming out really nice, thank God.  @.@;;; ))  What's a Maui, you ask?  Maui is an artist on DevArt.  He is SO AWESOME. *_* <3 <3 <3  And I'm in love with his character Demos.  XD;;;  So I'm drawing him.  <3  Yay.<br />
<br />
*yawn*  I should be in bed.  o.o  I have chuch in four and a half hours.  XD;;;<br />
<br />
On another note:  YAY HARRY POTTER!!!  XD;  I'm excited that the new book came out~ and its sitting right next to me.  XD  I need to re-read books 3-5 first, though.  x.X;;;  I only read the fifth book once, so I cant remember anything except that Harry was really whiney and that (( censored )) died a really stupid death.  ^ ^;;;<br />
<br />
Moo.  Goodnight~ <3 ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hokay!  So... I've decided to concentrate on fan art for a bit.  o.o;;;<br />
<br />
*twitches nervously*  So... this is weird for me, yes?  XD;;;  I honestly dont think I've really done fanart in ages - my last real recollection of doing it was about three or four years ago.  o.O;;;  scary.  I'm sure I've done it at some point between then and now, but... in any case.  Yeah.  I dont do fan art much.  o.o;<br />
<br />
Why am I changing my mind?  Well... a small reason is that the number of pageviews I have is depressing.  XD;;;  But the main reason is because I am so in love with about six different anime series that I've decided I really want to do it.  ^ ^-<br />
<br />
Since I love all of them, if you like a specific series that I'm listing, feel free to leave a comment and let me know, so that I might concentrate on that one a little more. ^_~ <3<br />
<br />
1) Shinsengumi Imon Peacemaker<br />
2) Death Note<br />
3) Bleach<br />
4) Naruto<br />
<br />
Er... I'm sure there were more, but I cant think of them just now.  XD;;;  In any case, my chickens say 'hi'.  *noddunoddu*  <3!<br />
<br />
Ja~! <3 ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Whee!  I've had my chickens for... uhm... almost exactly a month now.  XD  Just wanted to share that.  >.>  I have five, and they're about five weeks old. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <br />
<br />
Moo.  I'm sad, though.  u.u  My dad left this morning to go to Afghanistan for six months.  TT____TT;;;  He's not fighting, so I'm not really scared that he'll die.  I'm just sad because I'm going to miss him and I'm afraid we wont know each other anymore when he comes back.  *sniffs*  u.u;<br />
<br />
But yeah.  ^ ^  My chickens kick ass.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ HI!  I'm back from my trip to Mexico!   XD<br />
<br />
It was really cool.  ^ ^-  I went with  my church youth group and we learned a  lot about the border issues.  They're  treated really crappy down there.   x.x;;;  They work 48 hour weeks, and  only get paid 35 dollars a week!  And  thats if you have a good salary!  You  get a bonus so that you get 70 dollars  a week, but if youre one minute late  any day of the week, or if you dont  reach your hourly quota even once  during the week... poof.  >.>;;; Its  gone.  Which really, really sucks.   Because a jug of milk down there is  $3.30... and thats just for a jug of  milk.  NOT including schooling for your  kids (most drop out around Jr. High  school because their families cant  afford it, and start working), medical  bills, transportation, or housing.   x.x;;;<br />
<br />
It was really neat, though, because one  of the excercises we did was to split  into three groups (there were about 23  of us, total) and we got sheets of  paper telling us how many people their  were in our family (mine was a family  of eight, and we actually had eight in  our group), how many of us worked, how  many were laid off, how many went to  school and which school (elementary,  jr. high, high school), and how much we  made a day.  It also said how much  money it cost for school,  transportation, entertainment, church,  etc.  We then had to figure out how  much money we could set aside for each  one, and still have enough to pay for  three meals a day.<br />
<br />
One group came up with $3.00 per meal,  one came up with $3.40 per meal, and  our group came up with $3.80 per meal.   Each meal had to feed approx. eight  people.  o.o;;;  we went to the store  that night and bought dinner for our  groups using the amount of money we'd  come up with for one meal.  One group  bought about 10 cup noodles.  ^ ^;;;<br />
<br />
Anyway!  Just ranting about my trip  because I thought it was fantastic and  really eye-opening.  The people there  are SO nice, even though one that we  met lived in a house made of sheet  metal, wood, and CARDBOARD.  ^ ^;;;<br />
<br />
...yeah.  >.>;;; You should go.  We went  with an organization called  Borderlinks.  ^ ^-<br />
<br />
That is all.  ^ ^- ]]></description>
