It was very touching, sinceire, and patriotic.  He was, as my roomate *<a class="u" href="http://wolfkat77.deviantart.com/">wolfkat77</a> said, "a good sport".  BUT all the crowd did was boo at McCain, TWICE!  That's like "historically rude" I said to *<a class="u" href="http://wolfkat77.deviantart.com/">wolfkat77</a> again.  I hope Obama can make America better enough to make up for all those immature booing people in the crowd tonight at Chicago's Grant Park.  Uggghh....I didn't vote for McCain, but I feel for him with how insulting some people can be.<br /><br />Anyway, got to get ready for bed.  I have school tommorow.  That's why I'm never here commenting enough...so busy sometimes. X3  I might grammer check and make this journal look prettier tommorow.<br /><br /><sub>P.S.  I had to vote abseentee for my home state, and it was difficult and time consuming. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" />  I think I'd do it again, though! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" />  I served my duty! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /></sub><br /><br /><br />And to all a good night no matter where<br />you are in the world! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" />,<br />Mary<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flagus.gif" width="20" height="13" alt=":flagus:" title="United States of America" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flagus.gif" width="20" height="13" alt=":flagus:" title="United States of America" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flagus.gif" width="20" height="13" alt=":flagus:" title="United States of America" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flagus.gif" width="20" height="13" alt=":flagus:" title="United States of America" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flagus.gif" width="20" height="13" alt=":flagus:" title="United States of America" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flagus.gif" width="20" height="13" alt=":flagus:" title="United States of America" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flagus.gif" width="20" height="13" alt=":flagus:" title="United States of America" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fl... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes!  As you can see toward your right, I finally updated my Shout Board with some sketches I've done this summer plus an extra.  It took me a while to get them all looking pretty along with descriptions.  So, go look at, read, and enjoy 'em, kay?  Oh, and after forgetting so many times, I also added my real life buddy ~<a class="u" href="http://yukaorasoshi.deviantart.com/">YukaoRasoshi</a> to the Shout Board.<br /><br />Guess what?! >w<  I added a W.I.P. progress bar for my webcam picture on <a href="http://murasaki-mary.deviantart.com/">my main page</a> to show how much progress I made on my current WIP <a href="http://Murasaki-Mary.deviantart.com/art/EDIT-PLEASE-GIVE-CRITIQUE-86895709">here</a>.  It's so wrong! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/plotting.gif" width="18" height="20" alt=":plotting:" title="Hmm. Evil plotting in progress." />  But guess what!!!...I'm updating it tommrow, and hopefully again a few days after too.  I'm trying to make the finished version as pretty as I can. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br />Please excuse the delay,<br />Mary<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I've got a good WiFi connection, decent skill level, and I participate in some of the tournaments.  I'd really like to have some friend codes, because I currently don't have any. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/emailsend.gif" width="27" height="11" alt=":emailsend:" title="Email Send" />  <b>If you would like to trade codes, just note me, please!</b>  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/emailsend.gif" width="27" height="11" alt=":emailsend:" title="Email Send" /></div><br /><br />Also, I'd especially like friends who participate in the worldwide tournaments, but anyone is fine with me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  I Also added a poll just cause I'm curious and nosey, and my journal let me vote in my own poll!

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm getting really close to 5k, so I thought I would inform my dear watchers about it so that you guys can try and catch it before it's gone. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" />  If anyone catches it, they get a free giftart of their choice from me!  Though, do be aware I'm not going to draw <i>anything</i> for you...Anyway, the rules to catching it are below.<br /><br />1.)  Take a screenshot of my mainpage when it hits exactly 5,000 pageviews. (lucky you XD)<br />2.)  Send the screenshot to me through a note.  I can give you my e-mail if that's the only way to send me the screen shot.<br />3.)  Please, don't request a super hard giftart, risque/adult pic, or fanart from Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy...I'm to scared to draw those Square Enix characters. X3<br /><br />Here's some examples of past kiribans of what to expect for the 5k kiriban giftart! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br /><br /><a href="http://Murasaki-Mary.deviantart.com/art/Yuki-Sohma-Fruits-Basket-52284346">500 Pageview Kiriban</a> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/52284346/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs14/150/f/2007/092/e/c/Yuki_Sohma___Fruits_Basket_by_Murasaki_Mary.jpg" width="101" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><a href="http://Murasaki-Mary.deviantart.com/art/Fear-of-Self-52288986">1,000 Pageview Kiriban</a> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/52288986/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs14/150/f/2007/092/e/0/Fear_of_Self____by_Murasaki_Mary.jpg" width="125" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><br />Also, happy Valentine's Day even though it's probably over for most of you.  I'm also sorry I haven't been answering hardly any of my messages.  Please, forgive me people!  I'm so sucked for time this semester. =_= bleh...<br /><br />P.S.  OH LORD! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/omg.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":omg:" title="OMG" />  My computer (or I?) somehow sent this journal out like 7 times.  I deleted the duplicates, so hopefully the extras didn't end up in your inboxes. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br /><br />Mary<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ First off, I'm sorry I've been gone so long and haven't posted a journal in two months!  Please forgive me you guys.  College and other stuff have been keeping me really busy! O_o  After I post this journal, I'm going to start answering my messages immediately. *promises*<br />
<br />
Anyway, as you can see from the Shout Box, I'm still working on my <i>Peace</i> piccy. =_=  I just can't seem to get it finished with all the stuff in my life in the way, and I'm almost completely out of motivation to work on it!  So, as a last resort to motivate myself, I've decided to upload frequent updated WIP pictures to my webcam on my front page!  So, go check it out if you want. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" />  I could post updates as often as once a week to once a day, because I'm really going to try to work on it this Christmas break. Please cheer me on you guys.  I seriously need some motivation right now.  I feel like my art sucks. =_=  Artblock?...<br />
<br />
Also, my friend Robert from my highschool joined DA!  Here's his account <a href="http://yukaorasoshi.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yukaorasoshi.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyukaorasoshi:" title="yukaorasoshi"/></a>.  So, go drop by and say hey! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /><br />
<br />
P.S.  I've organized my gallery some...not that it's interesting. XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Also, because I've been busy, I've only finished a little bit of my Peace WIP's cg, but I've decided to show a preview of it in the Shout Board.  In the mean time, I'll countinue working on it when I can. ^w^<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My first week of college was really great! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  There were a lot of fun activites going on all over campus the past two weeks, including lighting three airballons.  My roomates are awesome, and they are all really nice.  It's such a reliefe to know we kinda click. X3  I also like my dorm room, because I have enough space to not go closterfobic!  I really need to decorate my room a bit, because it looks kinda drab. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  I'll guess I'll take my time with that, though. *isn't used to home decorating*<br />
<br />
As for the Shout Board, it isn't really a huge update, but I added lots of people to it and lots of stamps.  I also, tried to fix some of the scrap pictures I put there.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My summer was so busy and went by so fast! >_<  Almost everyday has something to do with preparing for college.  I didn't know preparing for your first year of college was so time consuming. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" />  I finally get to start college NEXT MONDAY! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" />  I'm happy about going and meeting people, but not about the homework. Who would be? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  Hopefully next year's summer won't be like this, and everything will be straight, ya' know?!  To top off the fleeting last week of my summer, I have an art block!!!  I can't seem to get myself to finish anything.  <b>This week sucks</b>!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/stab.gif" width="24" height="15" alt=":stab:" title="Stabbed in the gut, just like Jack the Ripper!" /><br />

right now. D: *dies*<br />

So, I decided to help color it.  It was a little bit difficult, even though I just cged the hair.  I guess it's because I'm not used to doing realistic hair?

<br />
<b>WOW!</b></div><br />
<br />
That was an awesomendous movie!  <i>Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End</i> was a tremendously good movie!!!  It's the best so far, and it's been a long time since I saw a movie that FANTASTICAL! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wow.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":wow:" title="Wow!" />  SO, GO GO GO GO GO see it before it's out of theaters.  This movie is probably better with the big screen experience.  Anyway, I obviously just got out of the theater, and I had to write a journal to express my excitment, sorry! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" />  There's even rumors that there might be a fourth movie.  I'm looking forward to it. ^__________^<br />
<br />
<a href="http://frogmouthkid.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/r/frogmouthkid.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfrogmouthkid:" title="frogmouthkid"/></a>, you were right, this movie was the Shiznic! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /><br />
<br />
<br />
P.S.  Do you like the new journal design?  I'm going change it some more later. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Well, I actually graduated three weeks ago, but I decided to keep the news unannounced until I could also update my Shoutboard Scraps with this journal.  I'm sorry!  I just wanted to make it extra special, and they're even in color. <3  I probably won't do that often.  Also, I have offically been accepted into the UNM, the college of my choice.  It even seems I'm going to get into a good dorm.  I'm so happy.  I'm just freaked out that when I get there something bad will happen, because everything is going so nicley right now.  Maybe I'm just being paranoid? Anyway, I'm currently very happy and excited. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/happycry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":happycry:" title="Tears of joy" /><br />
<br />
Also, my pet cat, Pumpkin, is stoned right now! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" />  He had some tooth surgery at the vet, and he got majorly sadated...I should think it less humorous, but it is kinda funny seeing him so out there, ya' know?  Otherwise he's okay.  I don't think he'll remember today though...<br />
<br />
P.S.  Will somebody please vote on my poll?  I don't care what your answer is..It has no votes at all.

I'm going to check out the University of New Mexico tommorow...Wait maybe that's today already?  *has stayed up late*  I just finished my watercolor picture for my art portfolio, and it's the last one I'll put in there.  I'm going to tour the campus, talk to teachers, submit my application, and other stuff.  Wish me luck, because I'm nervous! X3  I hope I get accpeted soon. >w<<br />
<br />
***UPDATE***<br />
<br />
I finished my visit at the University of New Mexico last Monday!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  I GOT ACCEPTED!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/party.gif" width="50" height="20" alt=":party:" title="Party" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/party.gif" width="50" height="20" alt=":party:" title="Party" />  *is estatic*  I feel super proud of myself and I'm really happy, because it was my first choice college. >///<  The college is so big and seems happy and down to earth.  It is also a dry campus.  So, I think that's a good thing.  The food and dorms are pretty good too.  Did I mention the Japanese teacher is so cool?!  She said her classes were currently watching my favorite movie Spirited Away to learn about Japanese culture and stuff.  But there's got to be a catch you know.  They must have to work really hard and then watch movies. XD  I didn't get to show my portfolio to the art department, because they were so busy, but I'm NOT giving up!  I SHALL TRY AGAIN IN JUNE!  *laughs and evil laugh*  Anyway, I'm so happy.  It seems to good to be true! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  I hope my happiness will last through college even when it sucks with lots of homework.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ First of all, I want to say that I am back safe at home now, but I was really worried I wouldn't get back home.  It all started last week at school.  I had exams ALL week and TWO projects due during that exam week.  Does anyone besides me think that's a bit harsh? O_o  But it didn't end there..nope....After exam week was over, I had to work on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday!  Then on Monday, the put me on the schedule to work this Weneday, and I'm pretty sure they'll work me this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and then I'll go back to school again on Monday.  With the thoughts that my Spring Break has been completely ruined by my job, I went home PRETTY ANGERY PEOPLE! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" />  And you know what my jobless mother was doing? Playing on the computer, smoking, and hadn't cleaned much of anything....With my job and school, and her do nothing to help, how could I not get mad her?  She didn't offer to fix me dinner or watch a movie with me...NOTHING!  We got into a pretty ugly argument, and she decided to kick me out.  My really sweet aunt came and got me, and I stayed the night a her house.  I love her. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  I called my uncle, and the following day he called my mother.  I don't know what he told her, but he did something magical, and now I'm back home. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  My mother is acting like almost nothing ever happened...I just want to graduate, you know?  I want to get away from her!  She drinks and smokes way too much! :angry:  I'm so sick of fighting....Does anyone understand how I feel or have been through this? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" />  Please, give me some support. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lonely.gif" width="39" height="18" alt=":lonely:" title="Lonely" /><br />
<br />
:iconkosemoe: caugh my 1k kiriban! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bounce.gif" width="40" height="25" alt=":bounce:" title="Bounce" />  I'm going to try to have her gift art done by the end of Spring Break!  So, atleast I have some good news right? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" />  As for finishing anything else, I doubt I'll be able too.  I have to work too much, and on my Spring Break too. XP  As an apology for not uploading any artwork lately, I'll put up some more previews of my WIP and some sketches in the Shout Box, k? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /><br />
<br />
The Previews will be removed by the end of March...If I remember to remove them. XD<br />
<br />
P.S.  I'm really down right now you guys.  I really want to finish a  piece of artwork.  I know I will eventually, but I wish it were now. =_=  Ughh......I'll fix the grammer mistakes in this journal tommorow too.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...Was so average. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  Like most people, I did not get anything from anyone of the opposite sex who had the hots for me. =_=  But hey, I got some from my family and one of my teachers gave the class chocolate kisses, so it's not all bad, right?! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever, so I'm putting a preview of the picture I'm currently working on in the ShoutBox.  It is still very much a work in progress!  The coloring and lineart you see is um.....preliminary?  It is subject to change.  Motivation to help me finish is much appreciated, but your critiques, although welcome, will be taken with a "grain of salt" from me because the whole illustration is not there or even in order. X3  Though, I really do appreciate them. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ It's almost 2007 where I live...just about 5 more hours, and it's the new year!  I can't believe I'm graduating from highschool this year. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" />  My Christmas holiday was a good one except that my plane home got delayed for two days, because it snowed so much. XP  When I FINALLY get home tommorow, maybe I can post some gift art. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />  <br />

P.S.  I bet everyone's messages<br />

I'm just making it worse aren't I? ^_^;<br />

O_o  I can vote in elections and lots of other stuff...I wonder if I'll ever get around to doing any of it, though...Anyway, I can't wait to go to my favorite Japanese resturaunt. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/party.gif" width="50" height="20" alt=":party:" title="Party" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I've decided to do kiriban sketches for my account here. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  The first kiriban is at 500 pageviews.  So, if you visit me and I have 500 or more pageviews, take a screencap of my main page and send it to me.  Whoever is closest to 500 will get a free commissioned sketch from me!  I'll draw <i><b>almost</b></i> anything you want. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  Good luck with that kiriban!<br />
<br />
In other news, I'm in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for Christmas, and I'll be turning 18 here on the 28th!  YEEEAAAAAH!!!  WOooHOOoo! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" />  Its too bad my mom won't be here, but we do need some time apart anyway...Also, anybody remember my old account !<a class="u" href="http://mary122888.deviantart.com/">mary122888</a>?  It's been offically closed now, and may it rest in peace. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pray.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":pray:" title="Pray" />  Now I can finally start focusing on this account a lot more.  I wonder what I should do here next?<br />
<br />
P.S.  I'm almost finished with Twilight Princess.<br />
...AGggrrrhh!  I don't want it to end! >_< So,<br />
I'm doing side quests to make it last longer. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/happycry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":happycry:" title="Tears of joy" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been gone for awhile haven't I?  I've missed DA and all my friends here.  School and work have just been getting in my way A TON lately! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />
<br />
Anyway, about Twilight Princess.  I think it's GREAT! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/love.gif" width="23" height="16" alt=":love:" title="Love" />  Though,  I don't want to go into much detail about the game, because I don't want to spoil anybody's fun with it! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />  I've just finished 4 dungeons, and I'm trying to get to the fifth.  The hardest one for me so far was the FIRST DUNGEON! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />  I actually had to get a walkthrough for 2 problems in that dumb place, and the answers to my problems were soooo obvious too.  I felt so dumb. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" />  I spent three hours on two different consecutive days trying to jump over a hole with a spiderbomb, because I didn't know I could just jump while holding it, and it took me forever to get my first fish in Link's home village....yeeeahhh...Anyway, the game got a lot easier for me after the first dungeon, and it got a lot more fun!  Besides the first part being difficultish in a few places, I WUV this game so much!  I almost like it as much as Majora's Mask.  Anybody else playing this game now? 8D<br />
<br />
Now back to the art subject. ^^ It's almost the end of the first semester, so I should be able to post some stuff and update with at least some sketches and unfinished deviations.  Also, I've updated some of my current deviations too.  So, I think I'll re-upload those soon as well.<br />
<br />
P.S.  I REALLY DO MISS MY ONLINE FRIENDS SO MUCH! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" />  Please, talk to me on msn this weekend? =_=<br /><br /> ]]></description>
