Things are going...
There have been ups and downs so severe in the past month that it feels as though I am stuck on the most terrifying roller coaster ever created.
Not to worry, though.

The ups are winning.

I haven't been writing enough. At least, nothing of substance and nothing I could post on dA. But that will change. Not only am I in a fiction writing class, but I have realized that I need to rededicate myself to the things that were once very important to me. Like writing & reading.

I have friends and family and friends that act like family and so much love to appreciate. I really do love my life.

And I've gone 4 months now as a vegetarian.

...Life is too short to waste being stressed.

So take it in stride (I'm serious, go for a walk).
Go through the motions.


And laugh as often as possible.

Having yet to emerge from the cloud of feminist rage that I have been emanating over the past several days, I have found contentment within it. Yes, being constantly pissed off has actually allowed me some happiness. Who knew a change in my usual perky attitude to an overall "fuck you" persona could enhance so many dreary afternoons?

Poetry sucks. Fuck poetry. I hate writing it; I only write poetry when the mood strikes me. Being told how and when to write it is becoming a bleeding thorn in my side. Despite my fast-fading enthusiasm for my mandatory poetry class, I will continue to post the pathetic outcomes of our weekly homework assignments with wavering hope that someone, somewhere will comment on it so that I may improve. Don't worry people, I won't get my hopes up about that one. I won't get my hopes up about anything anymore.

Another tidbit of irony: whenever my head hangs and my eyes gaze hopelessly at the ground, I catch a glimpse of the one glimmer of delight left in my current livelihood: new kickass boots.

It's nice to finally live closer to the friends I've made throughout the fall semester, but then again, I still don't see them that often. Mostly I think that's my fault.

The funny thing about college is that you have no privacy, yet you spend so much time alone.

As for my art, you'll notice I've added a new poem, and I also have a new scrap, for anyone who is interested. Replacing my narrative techniques class is poetic techniques, so you'll be noticing a lot more poems in the future. Poetry is fun sometimes, but it's not really my thing. I already know I want to pursue fiction. I guess it's a good thing to be educated in both, though. After all, Shakespeare implemented both poetry and prose in his plays.

Sorry for the monotone in this entry. The perkiness I usually try to keep up with every day is withering. Would it be too pathetic if I said that I just really wanted a hug?

Let's just call it what it is.

Welcome to December! Though it's not technically winter, I like to pretend that it is once the first of December rolls around. Winter is my favorite season. I enjoy the snow, mostly (my birthday totally has nothing to do with it. ). Winter is an inspiration. Hopefully I shall be writing better, even over the break when there are no classes to force me into it. Winter is also, to me, the most romantic season. And you know how much of a hopeless romantic I am.
In other news, I am in love!

Also, I have become a bit of an insomniac. I can't fall asleep at night and when I do, I can't stay asleep. Not one night has gone by during my time at college that I have not woken up at some hour of the early morning. I think it usually happens somewhere between 4 and 6 AM, provided that I have already gone to bed during that time. Accompanying my sleeplessness, I have been the victim of frequent late-night headaches as well and my supply of Excedrin grows thin. Luckily, I haven't been able to remember most of my dreams when I wake from them. I have a nasty habit of always having bad dreams, no matter how happy I may be whilst conscious. So there is indeed a bright side.

Don't get me wrong, I am having a great time up here. I have agreeable roommates, a handful of close friends (mostly otaku), and plenty of things to do to keep me occupied. I'm feeling a little homesick this week, but I'm sure it'll get better soon. For some reason, I especially miss my high school art teacher. He was sort of like a father to me, since mine sucks. Anyway, I am hoping to have more work to post; mostly writing, since I am not in any visual arts classes this semester. All we've done in my writing class so far, though, is speak. I hate public speaking. Hopefully that will change soon.

In unrelated news: I saw the filmed final performance of RENT in theaters yesterday. It was amazing and I cried so much. I cry every time I watch the movie, but it was even more moving this time knowing that this was the end of it. You could see it affecting the actors. There was much more emotion in their faces and voices. Many of them cried as well. I want to talk about it with someone and I have to wait a few days before seeing my sister. Anyone else see it? Post your opinions!!

This has been a long journal entry. I needed somewhere to vent a little, since I can't bring myself to talk to any of my friends. I can't help but feeling like I'd just be bothering them. So thank you, to those who take the time to read this. Don't lose faith in me, I'll keep writing/drawing my whole life.

As for the rest of my life, I'd say things are going very good lately. College is much less frightening now that I've been through orientation. Already made friends! I am mostly dedicating my summer to the friends I will not see again for a long time and so far we've had a lot of fun together. In short, I'd say everything is pretty good and I am happier now than I have been in a long time. There has just been something different lately, I guess.

]]> ~Mikari-Aoineko http://Mikari-Aoineko.deviantart.com/journal/19099977/ http://Mikari-Aoineko.deviantart.com/journal/19099977/ Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:19:02 PDT still suck. I'll hopefully be writing a lot more this summer since I'm going to be a Creative Writing major in college this fall. I'd also like to acquire a job, but that doesn't matter to all my adoring fans out there. I got all my artwork back from school, so when I get around to photographing it, I'll post it up here. Some of it is better than what I've already posted. Some of it is not. There's a new poem up. I guess you could call it a part two to this journal entry since it's about how I felt tonight and how I've been feeling since April 23rd.

My prom was this past Thursday evening. It was truckloads of fun and my dress was gigantic. It was blue to match my hair.

It won't let me change my "mood" thing, but I guess I still feel neglected by one person anyway.

I've been having trouble sleeping lately...

The funny thing is that I saw this coming from the very beginning.

On another, less unfortunate but still a little upsetting note... FINAL FANTASY VII CRISIS CORE CAME OUT!!! Buuuut! I don't have a PSP or money to buy one or money to buy the game. I want to play it more than I want to live. I kid, I kid. But seriously, I really want to play it. It's killing me.

There is a light at the end of this journal! I am working on a few pieces in my art class and I have even come up with a new idea for a story/novel eventually. I'll fill you in on that later. A piece I'm doing mostly at home I am so far very proud of. I have titled it "Candy - My Anti Drug." I promise to post it once it's done. Oh, and thanks to those of you who liked my latest poem.

JOE AND ELISE FOREVER.
Sorry...

Tata!

I have the best boyfriend ever! He's such a sweetheart. It POURED yesterday. So we left campus for our lunch period like always and there was this huge, HUGE puddle and I didn't want to walk through it 'cause I was already soaked and my socks were ruined and Joe CARRIED ME. Yes, he carried me through the puddle and sacrificed his sneakers for me. I think I will draw that now and post it later. He got me a gorgeous sapphire bracelet for the holiday today. Oh, I am so undeserving! Gotta post a picture of that, too...

I love you, Joe! Can't wait to cook for us on Saturday. Happy Valentine's day all!

I had myself a good, yet pathetically lonesome, giggle-fit.

Presently, I have writer's block. Not that that's different from any of the other times I have sat down with a pen in hand and a sheet of college-ruled paper in front of me. Ha, college again. I can never think of things to write and when I do, I'm picky about words. Memorizing the thesaurus is next on my to-do list.

If any of you follow , then you'll know from his most recent journal entry (Sept. 4th) that we are back together for a third time. Hopefully three's the charm. He is a very, very sweet boy and a much better artist than I am. Aren't we so cute together? I am immensely happy. Hey, we even have art class together. A.P. art means lots of upcoming work to post!!

Did I mention that I was chosen as Art Club president? What an exciting year this will be.

I lost a friend yesterday (July 17th). He was a BOY. Not a man, a boy. My sadness turned to anger, went back to sadness, and is now lingering somewhere in between... back to the arts:

I've been posting a lot of old stuff that I only just received the means to get it onto the computer with. Still not a scanner; I used my digital camera. Some of it is coming out yellowish because of that. I have no choice but to work on my artwork over the summer. I am taking A.P. next year. Maybe this time someone will notice me.

]]> ~Mikari-Aoineko http://Mikari-Aoineko.deviantart.com/journal/11089473/ http://Mikari-Aoineko.deviantart.com/journal/11089473/ Sat, 16 Dec 2006 23:40:55 PST I'm seventeen.

I have an iPod now... for my birthday. IT'S BLUE. A beautiful blue. Still irrelevant.

I suck at poetry, but my Creative Writing class is doing nothing but poetry for the rest of the semester. I really miss the prose. So, I took a stab at the whole poet thing and belt out a 28 line poem entitled "Nicholas." It's over there in my "Recent Deviations" thing... read it, I need the critiquing. Presently, I am attempting to write another short story. Trying to keep it down to a page and a half 'cause I'm reading it to the class on Tuesday.

Look out for that story. It'll be here.

We had an anonymous fax warning our school that it was threatened by a gang that was going to strike on November first. Naturally, almost no one showed up to school that day. Even my math teacher was absent. The whole thing turned out to be another hoax, but I guess it was better that some people didn't take the chance. Most of my friends wound up coming to school. In a way that kind of frightened me. Maybe I was the only one who took it seriously. Just a little bit.
My creative writing class is sort of forcing me to write more often. I usually don't have time to write because of all the schoolwork I get, but now that my writing is schoolwork, it all works out. Unfortunately, I'm already a nobody on Deviant and most people only notice visual artwork. So, I'm only making myself into more of a nobody. I'll be posting more visual art as soon as I finish something I deem worthy of making public. My brother's scanner is only a few rooms away.
In short, I'm updating again. I'll try to keep things more current while my computer is still working. Hopefully during this time someone will actually read one of my stories. Knock on wood.

I've had a terrible fever for the past few days. It's just terrible. In other news, I haven't been drawing much lately; it sucks. Maybe my dream of being a writer/artist will only workout halfway. Eh. I haven't been writing too much either, but at least I've been reading. I started working on the first chapter of the book I mentioned in some of my prose deviations. READ THEM. Onegai? OHyeah. I've had this really good friend for over two years, but we've never met face-to-face. We talk on the phone a lot and tell each other just about -everything- and FINALLY a couple of weeks ago my mom took me to his part of the country and we got together! My mom had to be there on business, I sort of tagged along to visit him. He's even more amazing in person than on the phone. That was the weekend before A-kon... which I missed. I haven't missed an A-kon in three years, but this year we simply could not find the means of reaching Texas. Going to see my good buddy Johnny makes up for it, though. Even though less people probably visit my page, I would suggest checking his stuff out . He's a far better artist than I am. Like, *far* better. Well, I'm finally done with school and after I clean my room, I'm going to force myself to get back into the world of writing and drawing. Not that anyone but the occasional visit of my sib care. Eh heh... that's it for my meaningless journal update, catch you all later. ]]> ~Mikari-Aoineko http://Mikari-Aoineko.deviantart.com/journal/8780627/ http://Mikari-Aoineko.deviantart.com/journal/8780627/ Mon, 15 May 2006 16:37:48 PDT My friend Heather and I didn't even eat anything, we were so busy dancing. Most of the people there forgot that the party was for Chelsea because we had a semi-famous guest join us. If any of you watch Fuse, then you may know their heavy metal VJ, Juliya. Chelsea's aunt is her manager, so Juliya joined us for the party. It was pretty cool. She didn't dance until closer to the end. I made my boyfriend, Nick dance with her. She was calling him over and he didn't go... so I pushed him. Oh, how silly it was. I didn't dance with her, but I danced with almost everyone else. My friend Joe (for any of you who have looked at my previous work, Joe was a member of The Bus Trio) is really into ska, so he was skanking like a madman. That's one move I haven't quite mastered yet, but I still attempted it! In heels... and a dress. Do you know how hard it is to do the -entire- Cotton-Eye Joe song in heels? Pretty hard. Oh well... I love to dance. I don't know how or anything, I just kind of make stuff up, but it's fun. I don't care if I look stupid, I love doing it. There was a magnificant quote of the week delivered by the lovely Nick. He came up from behind my friend Sean and I and said something along the lines of, "There was a table! A table! And do you know what was on the table? A tablecloth. In the bathroom!" It was hilarious at the time, I suppose it was just one of those things where you had to be there. Other good news from dear Chelsea's party: one of my very, very good friends Matt was there. I almost never get to see him because we go to different schools and he's busy quite often. Chelsea and he are friends 'cause I introduced them, although I think they forgot that that's how they met... but anyway, he was there and it was nice. Although he kind of hung around my friend Mollie most of the time, we still had a chance to say hello and all the like. Hopefully we can get together again soon. Wow! This is turning out to be the longest deviant journal entry I have ever posted. I had some good news to get out there... even though no one reads these... Oh well. Maybe someday I'll get a scanner or someone will read my stories and I'll become better known. Then my adoring fans can read these and other older journals. Haha, yes... that'll be the day. Moving on, I s'pose that's about it. Dancing is great, don't be shy. Who cares what you look like? Just have fun! That's something to be remembered throughout life. HAVE FUN! because if you died tomorrow, I'm sure you'd have regretted not enjoying life. Well, see ya 'round peeps and always brush after every meal. ]]> ~Mikari-Aoineko http://Mikari-Aoineko.deviantart.com/journal/8677227/ http://Mikari-Aoineko.deviantart.com/journal/8677227/ Thu, 04 May 2006 23:09:48 PDT ) so I decided I'd screw myself over for tomorrow and not sleep. I drank a highly caffienated energy drink at around 12. So yeah, I'm screwed. I don't want to sleep though, I can't always trust what my dreams will be about. I've been feeling kinda down every night, and so in an attempt to cheer myself up... I posted my recently written stories. Not that anyone will read them. Except maybe ANYWAY. Just thought I'd share with you (although no one's readin' it) my inner stupidity. Always remember to brush after meals and to eat, drink, and be merry! For tomorrow you may die.
