For those wondering, don't worry, it's just real life knocking trees down on my house. XD

First I want to say, “Hello new watchers!” to those who have also clicked to see my journal updates as well as my gallery. Most of you are people I've met from other places on the internet and I just wish to say, “Thank you!” To have enjoyed my work so much that you have bothered to follow me over here, that means a lot, thank you thank you! Just to warn you however, I'm not the greatest updater.

Well, at least I'm not clogging your message boards!

Meanwhile... I've been enjoying my history classes, but I've been kicking myself hard at the person I chose to write my report on. THERE ARE NO PUBLISHED BOOKS ON THIS GUY WITHIN MY PHYSICAL REACH. I've now been checking out E-book sites, trying to find something my teacher will except as well as be helpful to my cause. If anybody knows a good internet library, please please send me a link, thank you!

Anyways, if things go well, I will be going to another convention this month! I've been so busy recently, I'm afraid I won't be well planned for this one. It's a basic scifi convention, so no real pressure on costumes or whatnot. I could always be cheap and just go as everyone's favorite Lithuanian IN SPACE.



I've been commissioned recently, which was a really nice surprise! I haven't been commissioned in YEARS which made me think either my art was steadily getting worse, or my audience has no money, lol. It paid by the hour, which made me a little depressed because the assignment was very easy. *sigh!* Oh well, it was nice to be back in the game for a brief moment!

The economy hasn't been pleasant (hello, understatement!), and a lot of my friends and family have been having more difficulty than others, lets all wish/pray/work/whatever everyone better days for this little planet! ^_^

It took two buildings. One only took it's basement floor, the other took the underground parking garage (which became the dealer's room), and three levels. It was a nicely designed place, but it only took a glance to see that conventions like the one I was in- was not meant to be. Lifts and escalators were crowded. I felt bad for those who were confined to wheelchairs- so I kept myself to the backstair ways in an attempt to make things easier. Exercise is good for you!

For the first two days my sister was the 6th Doctor, and on the last she gave in to my wishes and became Liechtenshein.

There was one other Lithuanian other than myself. We were about equal in quality of costume. She was quiet, but witty. One of her friends had dressed up as Belarus, and had decided to cling to me during the history quiz. "Belarus, you broke my heart like you broke my fingers!"

Yes, the APH panel had a history quiz (how could it be without one?). It was to help distract us while the technician figured out what was wrong with the speakers. Unfortunately, I never got to answer the questions I knew. Making me look like a fool compared to the others. Ah! How can I remember the name of every freaking peace treaty?!? D8

There were about 5 Russias there. I could just imagine Toris crying inside. There was one guy who had the faucet cane, which was cool. Another girl had a foam knife, which was used on me repeatedly. She was a very cuddly individual, I wish I had more time to talk to her.

Speaking of time- my God, no one had time. There were so many good panels happening at once. I would have to leave in the middle of one to get to another. And there are the panels you would have to get in line for that wouldn't start until an hour later.

What I found really cool during this convention was the diversity. I may have been lucky and just missed it, but there was no overwhelming fandom. There was OHSHC, Sailor Moon, FMA, D.Grey-man, OP, DN, Pkmn, FF7 and Soul Eater, etc. But there wasn't fifty Narutos running around, hardly any Ichigos. I only saw two Winrys. Heck, I even saw some K-on, Mushishi and Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei!

Even when it came to games like 'Story Story Die', where three or more people (which always ended up five or more) do a round-robin fanfic crack story, hardly anyone was familiar with the same fandom. It made for some difficult take offs, but I was so pleased to see that manga and anime was clearly no longer viewed as just a silly kid's thing.

Diversity at an anime convention! I never thought it was possible!

Another big thing that came to me was the thoughtfulness. All of the other past years I had gone to this, there were people who just so caught up in the excitement they do not realize their impact on others. That for some reason, going to a convention is like being on 2/4chan, and that you can say and do what you want.

I didn't get any of that! Each bump or clash done was filled with apologies and making sure everyone was alright. When I couldn't reach an art book and the owner of the stall was too busy, a fellow conventioneer came up and pulled it off the shelf for me. She even stayed so she could put it back! One of the security directors of the hotel purposely chose this weekend to have FUN while working. 8)

Doujinshi sold so fast at this convention, which pleased me because I have future plans to make some of my own for next year. I also won an art contest! The problem is that in the midst of all of the confusion, I don't know which two pieces of art that I submitted won. XD Either one, it really fed my ego. The pictures I submitted took about thirty minuets.

Aside from convention, I'm thinking of getting a livejournal and a Tegaki E account. I probably would've done so earlier, but I'm so bad at remembering passwords. I can't even remember what my password is for this site! O_o; That REALLY isn't smart. I guess that means I must step to the DA FAQ and see what I can do about it before it becomes a problem.

Wishing everyone well!

It has been so long since a September has gotten me incredibly eager. Even though there have been plenty of reasons to be in the past. I normally don't feel the energy until it's the actual day itself or I am actually at the event. I'm actually shaking, and nothing happened yet! It's really weird! Or maybe I forgot my pills, one or the other. XD

My dad's back in the game, he still can't remember the day where he forgot everything except for the spinal tap examination (what a crappy thing to remember!). But he's working and kicking metaphorical ass. We watched "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" and "La Cage aux Folles". Like the majority of people, I had first seen the English remake, "The Birdcage" and I was very curious as to how different it was from the original...

There was hardly any difference! I was mentally cheering throughout the entire film! So few movies/shows/comics/etc that when remade for a different country have their plots kept intact. But this wasn't just plot- lines and even those wondrous the screams from Albin to Albert (see? even the name are held in the same spirit!) are there. I now hold deep respect for whoever decided to make the English remake. Thank you for believing in the story and not changing it for fear of culture shock!

Change of subject!

In store for this month is going to have birthdays and and possibly two conventions (one is for certain, the other is unknown). Mum more than likely is just going to be wearing shirts worshiping Spike Spiegel and Hatake Kakashi. Dad is either doing something Harry Potter-ish or Trigun.

As much as I'm all for everyone cosplaying whatever they like (conventions are firstly fun before serious business ), I always deeply respected people who type/body casted themselves. They don't just dress up as one of their favorite characters, they dress up as someone they actually look like. To the point where it seems that's what the character would look like if they were ever done 3D/realistically. I've always wanted to do that, and I think I have found my chance this year.

Toris Lorinaitis from Axis Power Hetalia. Except for freckles, eye colour, and more eyebrow I've basically got him down body type. But for costume- wow, what a challenge! Lithuanian stuff just doesn't exist around where I live. Even specialty army stores who knew what I was asking for didn't even store anything close to what I wanted (one man asked if I would rather have a Russian gas mask to make up for it!). So I had to go from scratch. It's taken several weeks, and I'm really close to having it done! I'm nervous that it's going to be too big for me or that I will forget an important detail like an insignia or something. I want to give my best for this. Especially if I come across any fellow fans-

Actually, I should change my last sentence, because I just found out that the convention I'm going to has a special APH panel. Which means more than thirty percent of the people going to this convention are APH fans. It feels really weird! I knew it had gotten popular (hello internet), but I didn't realize HOW popular. Everyone that I have ever cosplayed in the past was either something simple (Red Shirt from Star Trek) or something not so well known (Horo from Spice and Wolf / Crowley from Good Omens). Talk about pressure! I'm probably going to have competition with other Lithuanians! XD

Another change of subject!

I've got college classes coming up, some to my liking (Jazz dance, ancient history) and others not so much (hello math, WE MEET AGAIN). I've downloaded GIMP's freeware GAP, which is their animation program. I hope I'm smart enough to figure it out. I love the medium, so I will see if it's something I'd like to pursue as a career/hobby. And lastly, I really need to pick up on my practicing. In my foreign languages, music, my left hand and art. I really need to update more here! The internet is the closest thing I have to a constant art critiquer because everyone else who I live nearby just says "It's good!" No! Please rip my art apart! I need to improve!

...Wow, this must be the longest Journal I've ever written. Sorry for babbling! It's been awhile since I've been in a positive mood and I felt like sharing it. Sorry if that ruined your day! XD

Wishing everyone well and a good September!

=EDIT=

Bad news: No way jacket is going to be finished in time.
Good news: It's going to be too hot to wear it anyway.

Until then, I must study my Lithuanian history. I have to get in character!

Some of you are aware (most of you are probably not), one day in the early morning my dad suddenly had amnesia. It was very surreal, and pretty scary. But it was mainly scary because when it happened I had no idea what was going on, and it took a long time for the hospital to come to the conclusion it did. While they are still not sure what it might be, I'm really hoping it is Transient Global Amnesia because that means my dad will be back to normal, and it will be highly unlikely for it to happen again.

Because it was (possibly) Transient, he still had his personality while he couldn't remember anything else. Which made for some sadly humorous moments when he discovered that Bush was no longer the US president. He was so happy... again. XD

However, of all things he did forget, he didn't forget his fear of needles. Which mum and I were pretty bummed about. I mean, if he HAD to forget SOMETHING- especially at the hospital. After a really long day, dad started recalling. There were a few blips here and there, and he doesn't remember that morning at all, but dad is still dad and he's healthy and alive. ^_^

And what makes this week even more amazing, was that despite all what happened, dad kept the promise he gave me months and months back about seeing Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea, Miyazaki's newest movie! At this time I didn't even care about seeing it, and even though he's felt like crap from all the testing he had gone through he went with it anyway.

The movie was wonderful. I was in near tears from the perfect translation and no censoring. Names, honor suffixes and soundtrack were kept wonderfully (except for the weird pop song at the end credits, wtf decided to add that?). I am so glad that Studio Ghibli has the contract it has with Disney. My favorite character is easily Fujimoto, Ponyo's dad. My only issue was with whoever did the voice of Sōsuke. Most parts were done well but some scenes fell flat.

Despite all of this I still have horrible communication issues with my dad. I can say whatever I want to my mum, I have no problems. But with my dad, even during times like these words die on my tongue. Which is bogus, I love the man. I want to show my appreciation somehow if not through words, but I can't think of anything good...

In other news, this month I've been cleaning out one of the rooms in my basement because somewhere something is leaking. This week I'm babysitting a dear friend's dog. And this weekend I will (hopefully) be helping other wonderful friends with their move to a new house.

Things have been difficult, but I guess it's a good kind of difficult. I mean, things could have gone so much worse. But if what happened to my dad's brain is the worst thing this month, I should consider myself lucky.

I hope everyone is doing well, and continues to do so.

Anyways...

Hey, it's been awhile! To those who do not know me personally are probably wondering why I haven't updated my gallery. It's because I've been updating my FF.net account. BURN. Well, that and living real life. I'm hoping to get a job before schools are let out so I don't get butted out by some lucky kid.

This month has been way busier than I even planned. Hell, this year has been really awkward. It just started and a lot of people I knew either really personally or casually have dropped dead. Normally I try going to the funerals, gatherings or what have you but I had to say no to the last ones.

But after all of that, it definitely encourages me to try to see my not so dead friends. I know I'm basically a hermit and I'm lousy at emails and call backs, but I do want to see everyone.

]]> ~Lilithnanhart http://Lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/journal/22394317/ http://Lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/journal/22394317/ Sun, 04 Jan 2009 12:58:54 PST
A lot of my friends have been having a REAL hard time. Here's hoping things improve this year for all of you guys. You should be rewarded after all of that.

SUBJECT CHANGE~
Some of you are aware of why I haven't been responsive much as of late. But for those not in the know, I've been out of power on and off. Things look like they are going to stay and MAN, there are a lot of things I need to catch up with! 0_o; I hope you will forgive me if I don't answer everything!

It doesn't help that my email has seemed to stop working. Can anyone tell me what the hell this means?

Secure Connection Failed
login. live. com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired. The certificate will not be valid until 6/18/2008 5:00 PM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)

* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

Since when did anyone need a certificate for hotmail? Of course, I might have missed something, not being the most computer savvy human. If anyone knows what this means, I would LOVE to know. Because right now I can't get into my email. It also doesn't help that this 'certificate' won't be valid until 6/18/2008, which is already a time gone long past.

This happens on both Firefox and explorer but it seems it only happens on my computer. When I log on another comp, it lets me right in. So I think it's some sort of security thing.

So anyways, Happy New Year People!

EDIT:

I'm mildly brilliant, I solved the problem. In other news- OMFG, SAIYUKI IS NOW A MUSICAL. I was never interested in buying the anime, but the musical is a must. I will burn my eyes and kill my ears for the sake of hilarious irony.

A question to those more computer savvy people than me; when it gets this bad, is it better to leave the computer on (the global warming solution) so I don't have to worry if this will the last time I turn it off for the day or will that kill it faster?

]]> ~Lilithnanhart http://Lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/journal/20189693/ http://Lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/journal/20189693/ Wed, 10 Sep 2008 10:44:02 PDT What? Lilithnanhart is already putting up another journal? It must be important!
And you would be right.
To keep it blunt, virus vs computer, virus won. Big time. In order to save my computer I had to wipe it's entire memory in order to keep my computer.
I have no idea right at this moment if I have managed to save all or any of my work. I'll know in a few hours when I've got my throttled baby running again.
Here's hopin'.

!!!EDIT!!!

So it's been more than a few hours and guess what? I saved some of my stuff! All of my artwork (or at least everything I can recall), and some of my music (Elle! You need to send your soundtrack again!). Everything else including the dvd player has bit the dust!

AUGH! WHY DVD PLAYER? WHY?!?! WHY MY OBLIVION? I'VE BEEN WAITING YEARS TO FINALLY PLAY SPORE! DX DX DX *cries pathetically*

*weak victorious music plays*

So anyways, I'll be getting to as many journals/looking at as many art as I can to read up on how you guys are doing. Hope everyone has been doing well!

Alright, I should talk about something... ah, yes, thanks to =silentskulls and *Skellagirl I have opened my eyes to the Twilight series. Not saying that I was a fan, but saying that I had no idea what it was and why there where people walking around with "Team Edward" shirts and etc. It was a blessing to dramatically read with them through one of the most bloody scenes from the newest book in the series. Stephen Meyers is really something, most books I read are done by authors who know the human anatomy- but not Stephen Meyers! Of course humans can live perfect normal lives after their SPINE has been broken and you've lost gallons of cheesy anime blood! There's nothing wrong! LOLZ

It's been a loooong while since I have updated my gallery, and I do have a lot of art pieces that are nearing the finishing mark. I hope to get some done soon, so then all of you (excluding friends from real life) will then be reminded to why you are watching me in the first place. XD

DEAR PEOPLE I KNOW AND HAVEN'T SEEN/TALKED TO IN A FREAKIN' LONG TIME...

Elle, when you get the chance to read this, I'm wishing you all the good I can think of for your wonderful animation and your wonderful voice acting cast. I hope you will get a break soon from all your work so we can get to spend some real life time together. Peace out.

Lindsy, dude, we need to hang out and do something. I mean, dang, our houses aren't that far this is kind of bogus.

Kripton, your job finding skills depress me. I wish I could help but the only thing I can do is lend an ear. Everyone needs to vent and you're no exception.

And that is all I wish to share on a DA journal. Thanks for tuning in!

Anybody who only has enough brains for a quarter of a day will realize this, it's as obvious as hitting your eye with a poorly placed doorknob. To bluntly put it, I'm not here. Well, I was here to put up this journal but by the time you people read it I'm going to be gone again.

SO I CAN GRADUATE.

I'm not ignoring your updates, phone calls, journal entries, or real life encounters because I upgraded to superior jerk (that's level 23), I just don't want to go to high school next year. Surely you can understand.

When I do finally come back, you will tell by the sudden updates to this highly abused account. I've got tons of ideas that I've been scribbling down but can't really work on them because hey, there is some serious work that needs to be finished!


I just thought you'd like to know, hope to talk to some of you in the future, or hang out depending on how well I know some of you people... Loves,
Lilithnanhart


AND NOW THE UPDATE

I have now passed everything. Hello everyone! I've missed you! XD

Please excuse if I don't read everyone's journals! XP

]]> ~Lilithnanhart http://Lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/journal/17026246/ http://Lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/journal/17026246/ Sat, 23 Feb 2008 13:38:33 PST
This month sure took it's sweet time to pass though. XP

So now I should get back to what really matters in life, being as artistic-ly insane as I can and finally update this dusty DA gallery of mine. Speaking of updates, did everyone and their dead relative have to update while I was gone? I have over 900 deviations to go through!



Haha, thats what I get for watching 400+ people. XP

That's about it, I can't think of anything else to say at the moment.

Cheers,
Lilithnanhart aka Dancing Feather

UPDATE OH SNAP!

I just saw the most boring movie in the world, 300.

Which is really sad, there are all of these movies that came from books and comics and whatnot, and we always wished they would stay true to the thing they said it was from. This movie had it down to the camera angles straight from the comic, panel by panel beautifully and it still sucked. Not to mention so many scenes were ripped from Lord of the Rings, and I counted over a hundred slow-mo moments.

The irony! XD

(to those who were offended by my opinion, just remember it's my opinion and I never said that the people who made this movie needed to be shot by a million black arrows that turned the day to night. I have nothing against the people who made this, just the results that made the movie)

By the way, French is hardly my second language (or my third or my forth...), if I spelled something wrong and it translates into a real bad word I am sooooo sorry! D8

I just introduced myself to a little show called "Avez Vous Déjà Vu" that consists of a bunch of humorous shorts. And it's so good that I didn't need a direct translation for it to be giggle worthy.

My Favorites thus Far:

Un Ballon au Far West? [link]
Un Crime passionnel au pays des Toupoutos? [link]
Des Portes pipelettes? [link]
Une girafe avec un collier? [link]
Un film de cape et d'epe'e de mouches? [link]

However, for those who are learning the ways of this fun language if you have any free time (and have the desire to do it anyways) I'd love a translation. Especially for "Des Portes pipelettes?" because that one has the most dialog.

In other news, if you are wondering why I haven't been on the DA as often as I normally am (or is it was?) it because... I FINALLY GOT OBLIVION! BWAHAHAHA!!! I AM TOTALLY ELDER SCROLL'S B17CH! 8D

For those that are familiar with it please help me. I managed to stop it before it could destroy my computer completely and I thought I managed to remove it. The computer even said it found and caught it, but I can't accesses and change my background image, it's suck as a black wallpaper. There might be a few other things wrong but I haven't found them yet.

The only info I have on this Trojan is that it is a new version that people aren't very aware of. If you are one of the people who know how this thing works, I love to hear some ideas on what I'm doing wrong and help correct them.

Thanks for your time, TT_TT

EDIT: I can change the color of my background but I can't put a picture up and my comp is a windowsXP. Just in case someone needed some extra detail to help solve my problem.

EDIT TO THE 2ND: I don't know what my dad did, but now things are back in order!

Rules

I need proof of the 3,333 page

A screen-cap would be nice

Please don't cheat and photo manipulate

Because more than likely, I won't know the difference

Submit your kiribian page to scraps and give the link to me here

Once you have persuaded me and I am satisfied it is not a photo manipulate, please delete it so we don't waist DA's space unless you're a trophy person.

I want details of what you want your picture to look like, but not details as in it will take a while to draw

If I don't know you personally, I am not sending you an un-water-marked picture through email. I want you to hate me.

PLEASE do not request a NC-17 picture

Exception to Rules:

The picture can't be something already seen a hundred times on DA.*

If everyone misses beloved number 3,333; whoever has the closest number next will do. It can't be a number lower than 3,333

If you are Ranaelenvasa, you are the exception. Whatever you want, foo'.

Feel free to persuade me otherwise on any of it.

Your Art Piece
It can have gore or kinky tones but it can't be something that only 18 and older can see. If you want me to draw something from a show/book/movie/etc I am not familiar with please have reference pictures for me to link to, especially if it's another art style. Speaking of which, I have no issues with crossovers. If you want Neverhood done in Butch Hartman style, sweet awesome. I you are a person you likes to pair everybody with everything, male/male, female/female, 5 males and a female, alright. Except:

*Sasuke is over rated. There are too many pictures with him. I don't care if your request is Itachi killing him, there are too many pictures.
*If your request sounds like it's going to take too much time or is something of a Sasuke matter, etc, I will tell you so. Please do not feel distressed or panic, come up with another idea that's compatible and we'll do business. No problem.
*If you are Rana, none of this counts except the 3,333 screen bit.
*If I'm not familiar with the series you luck out big time.

The End! Have Fun or Something.

I was introduced to this website today by a dear friend of mine (~Amberedge57), and I thought there were other people I know who would get a kick out of it if they haven't been introduce to it yet. The name of the website is called, "SONGS TO WEAR PANTS TO". [link]

This guy takes requests for songs... and some are just awesome. All the songs play on quicktime so if you don't have that I'm sorry. If you DO then go to the fan favorites page and listen to these songs: This Girl, REVERSE ESCARGOT, and Beware The Sea Anenemone. And read the summery to the song, it makes it even better. XD Don't worry, there's nothing inappropriate or needing to be older than anything to read or listen.

In other news... my fanfic 'You and Me' has suddenly shot over 9,000 hits! Really weird... Not that anybody here on DA cares because no one bothers on FF.net to look at my DA page and visa-versa. Haha!

Anyways, some of you might care because I'm thinking of drawing a few scenes from my fanfic. Manly because I'm nearing the end and now I feel like advertising it. To settle the minds of the people who are watching me for my IZ art, that is exactly what Y&M is.

Thus this encases my week.

Fun! Fun!

And because I'm paranoid I didn't want to reveal any of my true original ideas on the net.

But a certain friend *winky winky* told me that considering my twisted mind into giving small background characters full backbone stories I could just use those characters. Just as long as I remind everyone that they are Mr. Jhonen Vasquez's.

So STWWs fan's are going to get a kick out of this! The victims I have chosen are Spork, Ecnal (the only real OC in this group XD), and Miyuki. Some questions can't be answered because no one knows what a dog is (if the question is manipulative then we will see) and others will be censored because I don't want people to be spoiled. SO TOO BAD!


1) How old are you? ----------------------------------------

Miyuki: *smirks* Older than these two here.
Spork: *groans*
Ecnal: 7 years younger than the Lady Miyuki.

2) Size? (Height?)--------------------------------------------

Miyuki: *laughs* Why, just enough to be tallest!
Spork: And I am in second of command!
Ecnal: Pff... second of command...
Spork: DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
Miyuki: Please boys, we just started!

3) Wrong habits? --------------------------------------------

Ecnal: Why, Lady Miyuki has no bad habits! Spork here though-
Spork: Silence you little cretin! These questions are to only to be-
Ecnal: Is an ignoramus, and disregards ALL important information I have to relay!
Spork: DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?
Miyuki: Please! It's-
*Ecnal and Spork continue to argue like the little children that they are; god I love them*

4) Are you virgin? -------------------------------------------
Is censored for the STWWs readers! Why don't you use your imagination? *laughs evilly*

5) Married or single? ----------------------------------------

Miyuki: I'm afraid that marriages are no longer allowed on Irk.
Spork: And a good thing too!
Ecnal: It's not like you could score to save yourself.
Spork: WHA-? SAY THAT AGAIN!

6) Do you have children? ----------------------------------
More censoring because I like to drive people like you mad.

7) Favorite food? --------------------------------------------

Miyuki: Oh! There is this wonderful little dessert treat that is called 'Yukiwai' that I always loved as a smeet...
Spork: *rolls eyes* Food's food.
Ecnal: Yes, 'Yukiwai' was a favorite of mine as well. Spork however, has no taste buds to speak of-
Spork: WILL YOU STOP ADDING YOUR TWO CENTS IN?

8) Favorite ice cream flavor? ------------------------------
Not an Irken thing... so lets change it! What's your favorite soda?

Spork: Cecsi is the best.
Ecnal: Again, says the tastbuds of death. Tota-Tola is a good classic.
Sork: WHICH IS DYING OFF!
Miyuki: *sighs looking at the sparks flying* I like Toor.

*bonus points for the people who get the crappy puns.*

9) Have you ever killed someone? ------------------------

Spork: Who haven't I killed? In fact, who hasn't killled somebody? We are the great Irken race! BOW DOWN BEFORE US!
Miyuki: *looks down sadly* ...yes...
Ecnal: Mf! Spork you even have killed off your own students! You are just a-
Spork: It is not MY FAULT that they die off! They should have been paying more attention!

10) Do you hate someone? --------------------------------

Miyuki: Oh, I would never allow myself to think so unjustly!
*However, Spork and Ecnal are in a corner glaring at each other*

11) Secrets? ------------------------------------------------

Miyuki: Unfortunately, as tallest one has to hold many.
Spork: Pff! Who doesn't have secrets?!?
Ecnal: I know secrets that will cause the death of many, but it's none of your concern. ^_^

12) Are you in love? ---------------------------------------
Even more censoring! Don't you love me?

13) TACOS? ------------------------------------------------

Miyuki: What an interesting word, what does it mean?
Spork: HOW ABOUT A BULLET HOLE THROUGH YOUR BRAIN?
Ecnal: Good heavens, no! *refering to the question, not Spork*

14) Have you ever slept one day long? -----------------

Miyuki: Sleeping was such a nice past time, I miss it terribly.
Ecnal: I try to do it as many times as I... ]]> ~Lilithnanhart http://Lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/journal/13548494/ http://Lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/journal/13548494/ Sat, 30 Jun 2007 06:49:28 PDT
What that movie really touched me on was on how Global Warming was found out over 30 years ago... and here we are STILL screwing ourselves over when we HAVE the technology right now to stop it. We HAVE all the tools we need. The only people who are going to lose anything in this fight if we go for it, are the rich politicians who deny it. Well I have no idea what other people are doing but I'm going for it. Wish me luck, ^_^


Here are some of my favorite quotes from the movie:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

"We have everything, save perhaps political will. But in America, I believe political will is a renewable resource."

[A simple graph is brought down showing a picture of a scientist observing a set of scales that hold the globe on one side and a stack of gold bars on the other. The government's example of our choice between the environment and the economy]
"We have here a scales that balances two different things. On one side, we have *gold* bars! Mmmmmm, don't they look good? I'd just like to have some of those gold bars. Mmmmm. On the other side of the scales... um... THE ENTIRE PLANET! Hmmmm..."
[the audience laughs] "I think this is a false choice for two reasons: number one, if we don't *have* a planet..." [laughter] "The other reason is that, if we do the *right* thing, then we're gonna create a lot of wealth, and we're gonna create a lot of jobs, because doing the right thing moves us forward."

~ Al Gore

I came home from an awesome manga buying spree to find... ants.

All over my just recently official 'new' computer.






Everybody....!

Happy, happy, joy, joy! Happy, happy, joy, joy! Happy, happy, joy, joy! Happy, happy, joy, joy! Happy, happy, joy, joy...!

Good:
Most of my info was saved and the computer I'm borrowing is pretty good despite me having to load all of my programs onto it

AUGH:
For some reason msn is DENYING my password when I know that IS the password and so there will be no more e-mail for me for a loooooooooong while. So if anyone is wondering why I have not contacted them, this is why.

Would this be because the computer I am using only has a default msn messenger? Do I need to update it? Does anybody have good advice for the msn thing? I'd REALLY love to hear it.



Thank you, I'm sorry for all of my FF.net readers, I hope this will be over soon,

Yes, they still taste like normal chips. But thats not the point, they are blue.

And now they are in a blue bowl.

And someone is going to eat them...













Thus begins my April fools joke.

The tag game goes like this: the 1st player starts writes about 6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself and then you tag 6 other people, (who will be reported below) and will do the same thing (assuming that they are obedient) and so on. So it's like chain mail but less scary and annoying. The only issue I have with this is that most things I find normal other people freak out on and visa-versa.

Habits:
1. I don't chew my fingernails, but I rub them against my lips when my hands have nothing better else to do.
2. I think clearest when I'm pacing or dancing randomly, this is optional with music.
3. None of my fingernails on my RIGHT hand are the same length. I allow them to grow till they break (which doesn't happen often) or until they get in the way.
4. My floors are 'clean', but every available space on desks and shelves are piled because I prefer running around barefoot.
5. I wear an old boot belt with my Celtic sign on it around my neck whenever I go someplace.
6. I think in 4D while constantly switching from 1st person to 2nd and 3rd.

Things:
1. Because I'm so barefooted almost all the time, the pads of my feet are almost as thick, and feel the same texture as a dog's foot pad. In fact I can step on most spiky weeds without realizing it.
2. I like things that make me think. Shows, games, books; its got to be complicated, where 'evil' and 'good' are the viewers opinion. (Death Note anyone? <3)
3. There are numerous towns and villages that I have created in my dreams that I will always recognize and visit when I can. I cannot remember their names when I am awake.
4. It doesn't matter how minor the character is in my stories, I must know and create all the in and outs to the person's ideals, dreams, wants, flaws, and past. This includes people who only last up to a chapter.
5. This is my rule of organizing: If it is in a place where it won't be damaged and I can remember where I left it, THEN IT IS FINE WHERE IT IS.
6. I do not have a real 'group' of friends, piratically 1 out of every 2 friends I have, hates one of my other friends. And heated disputes scare me... @_@

Hates:
1. Candy, ice cream and cake.
2. Why most males don't see the benefits in wearing dresses/skirts. Your groin can't get pinched if your wearing something like that! Why do you think the Scots wore them? EXACTLY!
3. Every time Walt Disney makes a cheap direct-to-video/book/toy/game continuation of one of their movies till the story's reality is ruined completely and no one will buy it's 'brand name' anymore. Seriously, it's not fair to the story or it's characters, so stop killing the fantasy.
4. Being a lame speller. Lame being I can spell dynasty with no problem but I'll spell because, "beacuse."
5. The rise of popularity in a dog breed after a 'huge' movie comes out or if the breed wins one of the big named dog shows. I don't care how cool the 101 Dalmatians movie was. If the whole, "this dog breed is perfect for everyone" was true, then there wouldn't be the hundreds of breeds that there are.
6. I find it really lame that the computer does not recognize the original spelling of o.k., which is, okay.

These people are severely tagged:


So I guess I'm suppose to tell these people the sad news... XP

But recently, when I go to my homepage my gallery won't show up. And when I go to scraps, nothing shows up there either. And it takes more than one refresh for it to show up.

Maybe it's because I'm new... but does this happen to everyone else too?

Because I never have this issue when I check out other artist's work.

Someone please tell what it is, so my mind will stop making up advanced stories over something that is probably REALLY little.

Yay,

Every day, there are more and more Craigs List posts seeking “artists” for everything from auto graphics to comic books to corporate logo designs. More people are finding themselves in need of some form of illustrative service.

But what they’re NOT doing, unfortunately, is realizing how rare someone with these particular talents can be.

To those who are “seeking artists”, let me ask you; How many people do you know, personally, with the talent and skill to perform the services you need? A dozen? Five? One? …none?

More than likely, you don’t know any. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be posting on craigslist to find them.

And this is not really a surprise.

In this country, there are almost twice as many neurosurgeons as there are professional illustrators. There are eleven times as many certified mechanics. There are SEVENTY times as many people in the IT field.

So, given that they are less rare, and therefore less in demand, would it make sense to ask your mechanic to work on your car for free? Would you look him in the eye, with a straight face, and tell him that his compensation would be the ability to have his work shown to others as you drive down the street?

Would you offer a neurosurgeon the “opportunity” to add your name to his resume as payment for removing that pesky tumor? (Maybe you could offer him “a few bucks” for “materials”. What a deal!)

Would you be able to seriously even CONSIDER offering your web hosting service the chance to have people see their work, by viewing your website, as their payment for hosting you?

If you answered “yes” to ANY of the above, you’re obviously insane. If you answered “no”, then kudos to you for living in the real world.

But then tell me… why would you think it is okay to live out the same, delusional, ridiculous fantasy when seeking someone whose abilities are even less in supply than these folks?

Graphic artists, illustrators, painters, etc., are skilled tradesmen. As such, to consider them as, or deal with them as, anything less than professionals fully deserving of your respect is both insulting and a bad reflection on you as a sane, reasonable person. In short, it makes you look like a twit.

A few things you need to know;

1. It is not a “great opportunity” for an artist to have his work seen on your car/’zine/website/bedroom wall, etc. It IS a “great opportunity” for YOU to have their work there.

2. It is not clever to seek a “student” or “beginner” in an attempt to get work for free. It’s ignorant and insulting. They may be “students”, but that does not mean they don’t deserve to be paid for their hard work. You were a “student” once, too. Would you have taken that job at McDonalds with no pay, because you were learning essential job skills for the real world? Yes, your proposition it JUST as stupid.

3. The chance to have their name on something that is going to be seen by other people, whether it’s one or one million, is NOT a valid enticement. Neither is the right to add that work to their “portfolio”. They get to do those things ANYWAY, after being paid as they should. It’s not compensation. It’s their right, and it’s a given.

4. Stop thinking that you’re giving them some great chance to work. Once they skip over your silly ad, as they should, the next ad is usually for someone who lives in the real world, and as such, will pay them. There are far more jobs needing these skills than there are people who possess these skills.

5. Students DO need “experience”. But they do NOT need to get it by giving their work away. In fact, this does not even offer them the experience they need. Anyone who will not/can not pay them is obviously the type of person or business they should be ashamed to have on their resume anyway. Do you think professional contractors list the “experience” they got while nailing down a loose step at their grandmother’s house when they were seventeen?

If you your company or gig was worth listing as desired experience, it would be able to pay for the services it received. The only experience they will get doing free work for you is a lesson learned in what kinds of scrubs they should not lower themselves to deal with.

6. (This one is FOR the artists out there, please pay attention.) Some will ask you to “submit work for consideration”. They may even be posing as some sort of “contest”. These are almost always scams. They will take the work submitted by many artists seeking to win the “contest”, or be “cho... ]]> ~Lilithnanhart http://Lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/journal/11416546/ http://Lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/journal/11416546/ Fri, 12 Jan 2007 23:15:43 PST
I might upload something!

Really! I found tutorials for watermarking for the GIMP!

What the heck is GIMP you say?

Well, (I answer myself >_o?!?) it is a free-ware program for those (like me) who can't afford the almighty Photoshop. And it so happens that the program I do know who to use I don't have. Go figure. DO YOU SEE THE IRONY??!?

Dude...

So, I set myself on the journey of truth to find an understandable tutorial that involved watermarking.

I found three. Two are similar in their type of watermarking but explain it differently. Wheee! I can't wait to upload some art! For those who care, wish me luck!

He was cute, smart and stubborn. I teased and made fun of him almost as if he was my little brother, he was such a funny klutz. I would of known him for five years if he was alive for two more weeks. And to make it worse, I'll never know why. Because the damn vets say they won't dissect a dog they never saw before.

That is pure bull-$h*7. That is one of the lamest excesses I've ever heard at a medical center. It's a dissection, not a check-up for some dangerous medication. I wanted to know why my young friend left me. Not give me ideas for what might of caused it, I know the list of causes, I just WANT TO KNOW WHY.

It's weird, it's not the sudden death that hits me the most like people I know, I just wanted to know why. We were just taking a walk with friends and family. We were only walking slow because my dog (who happens to be the father of him) had not the greatest joints for a Borzoi his age. But everyone was still enjoying the woods and weather...

Then he screamed.

I know my howls and barks, yips and ruffs. There were times I'd join in on their group or even start the singing fest (to the annoyance of my mom).

And then he was gone.

I will not say "It's not fair, why him?". I am not going to pray to god (who has failed to impress me to this day) to 'try' to get him back. And I refuse to go: TEENAGE ANGST! It's stupid, and it won't help or get anybody anywhere. What I want to do... is do something for my mom and dad. I want to collect money so I can possibly, just maybe... get a new puppy.

On another turn, a few days ago, I got something on my mental Christmas list!

When family members asked what I wanted, I told them a scanner, you know for my art. So, you guys could see the amazingness that is me and to advertise my art and maybe have people want to buy something from me. And what I ended up getting, from someone I hardly know, (a relative's friend's mom) a something by something drawing tablet!

Now I'm a little torn... why?

Art thieves. My art has been stolen in real life prime time so putting something up here feels like my pictures are calling out to the world, "Hey! Now you can steal me anonymously!"

The main reason of why I'm freaking about this is because of the many artists I watch on deviantART, many of them had their not just their original work, but their fanart stolen. Some of them being OCs they made up for the shows they love so much.

That is seriously dumb of the art thieves.

But it happens, A LOT.

But I read about water marks. For those very few, who are still reading this (god, you must be bored). Any advise on how to do nice water marks? Ones that won't involve taking over the entire picture so no one can enjoy the art? But still placed right so the malcontent morons feel like it's not worth it. Advice is welcomed with open digital arms you cannot see.

With that said and done, I wish everyone to look at the brighter side of new years and to be cautious with the things that sound too good to be true. Enjoy life, have fun times.

But not to say you don't have to say anything! Being the crazy little fan that I am, I love it when the artist give there thanks and comments to me. It shows that people can have talent and be kind creatures at the same time. I just want to say that I'm sorry I don't respond much... if at all.

If Christmas turns up a nice scanner, I will actually have art to submit. So you will have something to look at that isn't just words, Doujinshi that are PG13! Take that you scary fan artists! But till then, please go to my fanfiction.net account, and read all the horrors within. Or rather, all Invader Zim fans come read my horrors, cause that is all I have up at the moment.
