                <description><![CDATA[ Soooooo.....for Thankgsgiving break I went to the Busch Gardens Tampa, SeaWorld Orlando, and Walt Disney World...again!  Unfortunately the tigers were not very playful at Disney, but I got some AMAZING shots of a white Bengal Tiger in the Jungala section of Busch Gardens.  The keeper came over to talk to us and after I mentioned I liked photography she showed us a special trapdoor hidden in the wall where she could feed the tigers treats while people watched.  So the tiger came right up to my face (through the glass of course) to get to the meat that was being passed down the chute.<br /><br />But now I have to upload them to my computer and see how bad the glare of the glass is.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />I'm gonna try and upload some photos today, but it might not happen. <br /><br />Either way, how was ya'll's Thanksgiving holiday?  I don't hear from much of anyone anymore.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Brand New Eyes came in the mail yesterday...and it's haunting me.  The songs have sooooo much meaning to them, and they're so raw that you can feel Hayley's anger.  I feel like I can relate the songs because it's about friends feeling judged and not getting along and breaking apart...<br /><br />So.  Fricking.  Ironic.<br /><br />No?<br /><br />Anyway...<br />My current favorites are:<br />Ignorance<br />Playing God<br />Turn It Off<br />Brick by Boring Brick<br />Careful<br /><br />"And the worse part is, before it gets any better we're headed for a cliff.  And in the freefall I will realize I'm better off when I hit the bottom." ~ Turn It Off<br /><br />"When you swear it's all my fault, 'Cuase you know we're not the same.  Oh we're not the same.  Yeah we're friends who stuck together, we wrote our names in blood.  But I guess you can't accept that the change is good." ~ Ignorance<br /><br />"You can't tell me to heal.  And, it hurts remembering. How it felt to shut down" ~ Careful<br /><br />"You don't have to believe me.  But the way I, way I see it.  Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back or break, break it off.  Nxt time you point a finger...I'll point you to the the mirror." ~ Playing God<br /><br />"Keep your feet on the ground when your head's in the clouds." ~ Brick by Boring Brick<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, currently we are having huge floods all over the place.  My friends all have flooded basements, and mine is just beginning to flood.  Grreeaatt.<br /><br />So today I woke up at 4am because of the thunderstorms, and went ahead and dragged my ass out of bed.  After getting ready for school, I decide its not worth risking my life and decide to stay home.  Then school is delayed by 90 minutes, so I decide to catch a ride with my friend and go in anyway.  Then they said school was delayed until 10am.  Finally, they just shut down the school system altogether.<br /><br />It pisses me off because if I'm gonna have a day off, it might as well be the whole day, not a partial day after stressing out all morning!  Now I have to go to school on a makeup day when I could've slept in all day long.<br /><br />BUT IN OTHER NEWS...<br />School is closed again tomorrow since the weather is only getting worse.<br /><br />Done.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Don't you hate it when you have ideas that keep nagging at your brain and they poke you and tug on you until you just explode?  lol, I've had these tiny ideas for the basis of a new story for me to write but I'm trying to figure out if there could actually be a plot or if it's just those little useless ideas I come up  with.<br /><br />This time I'm actually taking the initiative to write out the plot and characters traits instead of jumping into writing, and over 100 pages later <b>still</b> not have a plot.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />School is going much better than last year.  Great teachers (even if two of them are loopy) and great class locations.  I can actually use my locker this year, too.  Whoot.<br /><br />My birthday is on September 6th.  REJOICE.<br /><br />Yoko puked all over the carpet as soon as I got home today.  Thanks, love you too.<br /><br />Going to DragonCon on Saturday.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ School starts back up on Monday.  I'm starting the year in a trailer that it farthest away from the school.  Oh joy.<br /><br />That means goodbye to staying up until 4am writing fanfiction, goodbye eating junkfood 24/7, goodbye watching movies with friends.  Goodbye friends.  Goodbye life.<br /><br />That is...until the weekends. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />Anyway, I am now talking to my one friend again but things are still tense.  I still can't help but twitch when I hear her voice, just because I remember.  Sigh.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I am also very busy with friends, but it's sort of a time-consuming busy, not an awesomely fun busy.  Hopefully summer will perk up soon.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ OMG that was amazing.  A one-day road trip to take a friend to a softball tournament and I had the most fun all Spring Break.  Many things occurred on this trip...<br /><br />1) Luke got herpes (lol, cold sores spread through drinks)<br />2) Taco sauce does not do well under pressure<br />3) We watched the de-evolution of Luke...he was banging together two big rocks to smash a little rock.<br />4) Pickles are, indeed, Cucumbers (Luke had no idea)<br />5) Luke is pregnant and had cravings for pastries, then pickles, then deviled eggs<br />6) Herpes is not easy to wash off<br />7) Don't litter. Your mom will screech to a stop, make a U-turn, and make you climb out fo the window to get your trash. Oh wait, did I mention the semi-truck coming up behind you? CLIMB BACK THROUGH THE DAMN WINDOW LUKE.<br />8) Sonic not only has awesome drinks, Ace (lol, I told Luke our Sonic stories) but it also has cigarette ashes on the toilet seats<br />9) The world hates you when you are in rural GA and can't find a single boiled peanut stand<br />10) Ingles has cupckaes in the shape of maltese dogs and the brown ones look like a piece of Luke's shit.<br />11) Apparently I look a lot like Ben O_o<br /><br /><br />I got videos of it all.  I was covered in taco sauce after Luke squeezed it too much.  Ew.  Luke emptied two bottles of water on his face to wash off the herpes (cold sore germs).  Luke and I shared a MASSIVE PICKLE.  HELL YEAH.  Pickles are made of win.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ lol, just a little story I thought I'd share:<br /><br />I was at Misaki's house last night at midnight hanging out, and I was hungry.  So was she.  So was Luke, Matt, Justin, and Shipley.  So what did we do?  WE MADE A BAJILLION GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES.  While the guys hung out in the basement, Misaki and I made about 6 or 7 sandwiches.  But we ran out of american cheese halfway through!  We dug through her fridge and found some swiss cheese.  I hate swiss, but the guys will eat anything!  So we're making the next sandwich and I had a brilliant idea.  Bacon!  Bacon would make the sandwich great.  So we got out more pans and made plate of bacon.  Well, the guys had already eaten the sandwiches and they had all passed out but Matt.  Matt came upstairs and I handed him the swiss-bacon sandwich.  He shoved it in his mouth and was like, "OMG THAT'S HOT." <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  We told him he had to eat all of the bacon since everyone else was asleep.  He ate it all...with some help from us.  It was awesome.  It was 2am by then, and Matt was like, "You don't need to make us breakfast in the morning since it's already tomorrow."<br /><br />We were going to toast some bagels, but they had pink spots on them. O_O  Turns out somebody cut them with a knife with beet juice on it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mad.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":X" title=":X (Mad)" /><br />A funny night indeed.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ HAPPY BIRTHDAY ACE!<br />Love her:  <a href="http://goddess-ace.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/goddess-ace.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongoddess-ace:" title="goddess-ace"/></a><br /><br />Just got back from the GA Aquarium.  FUN FUN FUN.  It never gets old after 8 visits.  I got some great photos that I will be uploading.  Actually, the videos were better.  My camera does not focus well in dark aquariums.  Even with the right settings set, and all the precautions I took the pics could have been better.  Reflections are so nasty.  <br /><br />I got to pet the sharks a lot since not many people were there today.  We have lots of snow today, and a lot of people have never seen snow before down here.  They're having seizures.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />Not much else to say. Feel free to chat with me anytime.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I am miserable, and the Trull made me do my presentation in class the day I came back soem being sick.  She made me present even though I was delirious and couldn't speak correctly because of my stuffy nose and sore throat.  Sarden Trull.<br /><br />I made 2 bracelets from my glass beads, and am hoping to sell them soon.  Note me if you're interested, or just want more info.  I make green bracelets, blue ones, and purple ones.  I can also do combos of colors.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" />  5$ includes shipping cost, but may need to be re-priced for out-of USA shipping.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy Valentine's Day/Feliz Dia de San Valentin/Happy Singles Awareness Day<br /><br />BE HAPPY.  BE LOVEY.  I'M SICK AS A DOG AND I'M HAPPY.  Gosh, I hate flowers - as in the natural state of flowers.  Otherwise, they're quite pretty.  Leave to V-day to bring hundreds of flowers into my school, and make me so sick I fall out of my chair.  Matt was sick too, and we both asked our teachers if we had permission to die in their class.  They said we had to finish our work, and then we could die.<br /><br />I am trying to come back online more often, but we'll see how it goes.  I have recently had an offer for me to make some of my paper flowers for a party.---> <a href="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/shortstick1994/DSC05641.jpg">[link]</a>  It's a free job, but at least people will be able to see my effort.  I like making people smile.  I also gave away some of my flowers at school, and several girls said they still had theirs from last year on their dresser/bookcase/table whatever.  I was touched.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  People really thought they were real too!  I had people asking me who got me the bouquet of carnations, and I was like, "Uh, they're fake.  Want one?"  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />I bought myself a rose, and it was dying.  But I nursed it back to health, so it's all good.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just wanted to inform you that my beloved friend Gene just passed away.  I don't have enough patience to explain right now, but my poem for him I wrote mere weeks ago is here: <a href="http://midori-hayashi.deviantart.com/art/Waiting-for-The-Wrong-Things-108290093">[link]</a><br /><br />Also, another man in my family died today.  Just dropped dead out of nowhere.  2 deaths in one day is too much for my sanity.<br /><br />Gene requested that his body be donated to science, to help find a cure for both of his diseases, and he donated his eyes in particular to someone who is blind.  God, I loved him so much.  I will never forget him...never.<br /><br /><br />Comment with questions, but I may not be on for a few days.  I need some time to think...<br /><br />BTW, that son of a bitch who murdered my uncle got off with only 8 years in prison.  The trial is almost, if not, finished.<br /><br />This week sucks so badly.  I think I might explode and lose my mind.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

That way I can be a published author.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  So, I want your opinions on the ones I should enter.  There is no limit, but obviously if 5 of ya'll hate the same poem I don't think the editors will like it either.<br /><br />Also, I am currently obssessed with Final Fantasy videos on YouTube.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  Crisis Core and Advent Children for the most part, but some of the other ones too.  If you've got a minute, check out these videos:<br /><br />Gotta Be Somebody - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dgB8pI31I8">[link]</a> (lots of charcters)<br />Gotta Be Somebody - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra8_jJL-GL8">[link]</a> (FFVII)<br />Gotta Be Somebody - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw0DGQgKwjk">[link]</a> (lots of characters from different FF games)<br />Live Your Life - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ligQZsARv5E">[link]</a> (lots of characters from different FF games)<br />Just Dance - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lb597wGg9c">[link]</a> (lots of characters from different FF games)<br /><br />I go back to school tomorrow, so I might not be on for a while or for that long.  That's why I uploaded that huge load of stuff yesterday.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Miss me?  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /><br /><br />I took exactly 602 pictures from my Christmas to VA.  I got over 300 pictures of my Aunt's Husband's Mother's cats.  In other words, they're Ace's Grandmother's cats...I think.  Families are confusing.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  Only the orange cats wanted to pose though.  D:<br /><br />I also got over 100 pictures of Lake Gaston on the VA/NC line.  I used to go there all the time as a kid and we would take our boat to our friend's house and hang out for days.  Sadly, Gene has developed Terminal Lung Disease and can no longer boat, or walk hardly.  So I took as many pictures as I was able to, although I did spend most of my time with Gene. <br /><br />I'll be uploading some pictures soon, after I sift through them all.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />HAPPY NEW YEAR<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Thanks guys, I love you all. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" />  My 2 Christmas cards from my out-of-state peeps were nice too.  Can't wait to get all the others!<br /><br />I know this sounds like Thanksgiving, but I am so so so so thankful that Yoko is here with us today.  We are going to my grandmother's house today for lunch and to be with each other.  Mimi loves Yoko to death, and she means so much to us all.  She's cute too. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> In fact, when we took her to the Emergency Vet the other night, after they made sure she was stable they said, "Well aren't you just the cutest thing?"  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />Have a nice day, I'll be on the road tomorrow~<br /><br />HERE I COME ACE<br /><br /> ]]></description>

We don't know her full condition, and she's going to be watched carefully over the next few days.  Prayers (or thoughts, if you don't pray) would be wonderful right now.  I know ya'll probably don't really care, but I just thought I'd let some of ya'll know.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Now I can sleep, draw, eat, whatever.<br /><br />Winter Break isn't going to be as well as I had hoped, but it's better than nothing I guess.  Very busy...too busy for my liking.<br /><br />I am currently baking some Snickdoodles and working on getting my Christmas cards out.  Yeah folks, they're going to be a wee bit late.  Those damn pictures of Yoko I ordered didn't come in until today, and they didn't even send them all!  Half of my order wasn't ready, so you're only getting the ones I have.  Sorry.<br /><br />Today I got my cards from churrlo and Knitterz.  Yay!<br /><br />I'm going to try and draw something for Christmas, but we'll see.  It might be a bit late.  Oh well.<br /><br />I was surprised how popular those pictures of Yoko were...by my standards anyway.  I got a couple features in other people's journals for those Yoko pics and my flowers.  I got several faves too on the Yoko pics.  Since I hardly EVER get even 1 fav, I feel happy.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok, before you say anything, please note:<br />If you're going to bash the book, don't comment.  Constructive criticism is ok.  Same for the movie.<br /><br />OMG JACOB AND EMMETT WERE SO SEXY. :HEART:<br /><br />I have to give Edward some props, because he did pretty well even though I hate him.  His emotions were very well played out.  I loved his confusion face because he can't read Bella's mind.<br /><br />Jacob was only in it for a bit, but he was epically amazing.  He was so sweet for his few scenes.  Cannot wait for New Moon.<br /><br />Emmett has always been one of my favorites, though nothing beats Seth (who won't be in any movies until New Moon, maybe not even until Eclipse).  Emmett was funny, and he's hot too.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />Rosalie was a bitch.  Alice was bouncy.  Jasper was himself, trying not to kill everybody in site.  Carlisle was nothing special.  Esme was cute, trying to cook for Bella.<br /><br />Mike was over-energetic.  Jessica was the perfect bitchy friend person.  <br /><br />Soundtrack was good.  I bought it a while back, and it fit well with the movie.<br /><br />Scenery was ok.<br /><br />Oh, did I forget to mention Bella?  Wow, I must have ADD.  Bella was pretty good.  Not so whiny.  Charlie was funny too, with his gun and all.<br /><br />Renee.  Renee Renee Renee.  *sigh*  Loved the line, "Are you being safe?" when she was talking to Bella about Edward.  it is so ironic, considering she doesn't use protection in Breaking Dawn, and get knocked up.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />Let's see, I hope I didn't forget anything.  Oh well.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Sorry I haven't been online that much, but I'm very busy.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" />  I have been trying to write one of my stories, so I will probably post some of those chapters later.  Just a little update to let ya'll know I have NOT died.  Feel free to Note me...I love to chat when I can.<br /><br />PM me on Gaia too if you want!  Churrlo, you've been really nice about that.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  Love ya!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My computer is alive again!  We got it fixed for a lot of money, but all of my precious pictures have been saved.  I am so happy.<br /><br />OMG BREAKING DAWN CAME OUT.  Yes, I read it all through twice, to feed my addiction to Jacob.  OMFG THEY GAVE HIM HIS OWN PART.  I was so happy to read it from Jake's perspective a bit.  That was the best thing Stephenie has ever done in those books.  I now have a new appreciation for Leah and Seth.  I love them.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  Renesmee better back off though, because Jacob is ALL MINE!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />Oh, and some news in my life.  I ISH GETTING A HAIRCUT.  For the first time in several years, I am going to get my hair cut.  Usually, I just trim off about 1 inch to keep my hair healthy.  I am actually going to change it from long and straight to layered and slightly shorter, like Hayley Williams's haircut, only mine will be brown.<br /><br />I am thinking about uploading some pics from my Vacation, but I'll see how much time I have. School starts back up next week, so I have to get ready for that.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "...we gather here in Midori-Hayashi's journal to mourn the loss of her faithful computer..."<br /><br />Yes, my computer has finally died.  We had some terrible storms come through the other day, and they fried my system.  My life was on that computer, with all of my school work, photos, and artwork.  I will miss it dearly.  We are trying to see if my hard-drive can be revived, so I'm using my laptop now.<br /><br />I am praying my hard-drive is ok, or I just might die of a pre-mature heart attack.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm back from Walt Disney World. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  During the next few days, I will be updating my journal with things from my vacation, so your message box may be a little spammed. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  I just can't fit it all into 1 update, or post or whatever you want to call it.  I had a great time, and I will be sure to upload as many pictures as I can.  I don't want to upload the duds though, because after all...DeviantArt is for art, not fuzzy photos. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  If you have any requests for pictures from a certain park, I went to Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios.  That means I have pics from every park but the water parks.<br /><br />I'd love to hear from you!<br /><br /><br />~Midori<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I went to Six Flags over Georgia yesterday!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  I had a blast, and it was for Emiko's birthday party. (her birthday was on Friday the 13th)<br /><br />I don't do so well with roller coasters, since I get Anxiety Attacks, but I did ride the folowing water rides:<br />Splash Mountain Falls - Twice<br />Log Jamboree - Once<br />Thunder River - Twice<br /><br />Then I rode the Dahlonega Mine Train.  That was about at my limit.  It was so jerky, but it had no loop-de-loops or giant drops, so I was relatively ok.  Afterwards I was very dizzy, and couldn't stop shaking, but I rode it again while I was still all for it.  If I had waited, I would have chickened out.  After that, I knew I was done.  I had to sit down and drink some PowerAde, and still couldn't walk straight.  So it was a minor Anxiety attack on my part, but I had fun.  Misaki thought it was boring, as did Kayia.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />I rode the bumper cars twice with Emiko.  Man, that was hella fun. I got myself a Wonder Woman cape from a Game Stand.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  Manji already asked for pics,so they will be on the way!<br /><br />I hope everyone's having a great summer!  I'm leaving for Walt Disney World on Friday, so I hope to post again before then.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

About 1 month before we adopted our beloved Yoko, she had given birth to a litter of puppies.  I don't know how many, or what color or sex, etc, but she was definately a nursing mother.<br /><br />So, Happy Mother's Day to all moms...humans and animals alike.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

This year has done so much for me, but I still want to move on.<br /><br />I have big plans for this summer.

Yes, we will be up to all sorts of mischief this summer.  I plan to keep drawing and take some good pictures as I travel around.

                <description><![CDATA[ I have some questins for ya'll, and I would really appreciate it if you guys would give me your opinions. ^^  But that can wait for now, first I have some news.<br /><br />Next week is CRCT testing for me, so I may not be on as much.  I hate these damn CRCTs!  Every year I stress out, but then I wind up passing with flying colors. *sigh*  When will I learn? <br /><br />Things at the Animal Shelter are going well, but the future is unstable.  The Chief Officer likes me, and thinks I do a great job.  Therefore, they let the "18 or older" rule slip.  now there's a new officer that says I should not even be allowed to touch any animal at all.  She says I am too young and I could seriously hurt an animal.  We'll see about that.  Last week a family asked to see a full grown German Shepherd.  He was huge, and when he stood on his hind legs, he was taller and fatter then me.  I got him out, and perfectly led him outside (while he was tugging at the leash) an then got him into the cage and back again.  When I got back inside, at least 5 officers were standing there watching me through the window.  The yougest one (in her 20s) said,<br />"Well I'm impressed.  He was pulling me all around yesterday."<br />If that <b>still</b> means I "am too young/inexperienced/immature" then I would sure love to know what I have to do to prove myself.<br /><br /><u>Question Time!</u><br /><br />I am working on my DeviantID, and would like some opinions.  I am wearing my favorite camoflauge pants, but I don't know what top to add.  I usually wear a Gray tank top, or a black long sleeved shirt.  Which on do you think I should wear?  Honestly the tank top is easier to draw, but I like the shirt.<br /><br />I have been writing short stories involving my characters, and I would like to post some on here.  I'm not going to work my butt off though, if nobody will read them.  So, anybody willing to read some new stories?<br /><br />What would you guys rather see more pictures of...<br />a) Yoko or other Animals<br />b) Flowers and Plants<br />c) Buildings and Structures<br />d) Me (with no head of course) xD<br /><br />Thanks everybody for reading...well, those few of you who do.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

Life is still about the same for me, which is ok.  This is a lame journal entry, but since nobody reads this hardly, it doesn't matter.  xD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alas, this term has ended.  I made good grades on my finals, and even got some poems entered in a contest.  I have been keeping good a good volunteering schedule too.  I got some meds for my sleeping issues, and it's going ok.  To help me sleep, I can no longer have any caffiene in the evenings so I have switched to sugar-free caffiene-free fruit punch.  Yummy.  *rolls eyes*  I have been promoted to a Guild Crew member on Gaia, and that has been going well.<br /><br />On a bad note, Manji has left Gaia.  I will miss her there, but DA is helping me ease the pain.  Something odd about her leaving though.  Some people who know I was friends with her, are asking me to ask her if they can have her items.  O.o  Rude much??  I told em to back off, or I'll bite off their heads.  People these days... <br /><br /><br />Hoping everybody is doing good.  I am working on my friend's new character, so expecct a new deviation sometime soon.  (I hope)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I stopped by my Local Japanese store today, Pica Pica, and THEY HAD IT EARLY!  I feel like such a Narutard.  xD  I also got 2 more books, and a free keychain.  Yay me!  Now I am off to re-read the manga.  (I already read the scanned version online a few months ago)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was talking to my friends at lunch one day about next year at school, and they said I need a new wardrobe. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  They said I need more bright colors, makeup, and a new haircut.  Boy was this a nightmare to get out of.  I explained to them that I am fine wearing my clothes from the Thrift Store. (they are actually very nice clothes...) I hate makeup, am not getting contacts either, and like my long hair, no layers needed.  They even got so desperate, they offered to pay for it all.  O_O  <br /><br />What's worse, is that my mom thinks it is a great idea, and offered to give me more money.  So I guess I am doomed to new clothes.  Pray for me....<br /><br />On another note, my parents and school counselor say I have great grades and tell me how wonderful I am, yet none of my teachers think I deserve Honors classes.  Even my Fashion Diva friends made Honors...but not me.  I even have better grades than them.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  I am happy for them, but I just didn't think I was that stupid.  Obviously a 99% in Language Arts isn't enough.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
