Well, since my last journal update was in May, I think a new one is in order.

The site's been re-mod-ed.
I went to Wichita, Kansas
WAC episode 2 is up (on the site)
I started reading books again.

That is all.

So I had the brilliant idea of putting my videos on YouTube. Wow, that took me, what, a month? But anyways, I'll be putting them up there for your viewing amusements.

Oh, and btw, what is it with this Flithy buisness they got going on at YouTube? If I wanted to listen to a poorly dressed blonde chick talk for 10 minutes, I would go back to school.

*snicker snicker*

That was a good one.

I thought I needed to make this clear to the community, because, honestly, some of you out there are seriously getting to me. So, here I go.

1) People who post more than one journal a day
There is no reason in the entire world that you should post more than one journal a day. If you really need to inform people about something, you can EDIT your previous journal. That's really not much better, but atleast I don't have 15 different journals by the same person sitting in my inbox.

2) People who post comics in one day
Alright, I know you love your webcomic, and I know you want the world to read it, but HONEST TO GOD, no one will if you post it all in an enormous block that eats my entire inbox. No one wants to come to deviantart to find 100 pages of your lovely webcomic sitting there. NO ONE.

3) People who think they're all that
Calling all popular artists: You are not god. And no one wants to hear about your stupid financial chrisis, or about how you're too buisy to update, and how LOL sorry you are. If you can't post, DON'T. No one cares THAT MUCH that they're gonna be yelling at you for not posting. You are not here to serve your fanbase, they're here to serve you.

4) Commissions
My god. For all of you out there first posting your commission rules on an enormous page, and then opening up for commission, only to find that no one wants your stuff... GET. OVER. IT. I don't want to log on to see "Commission Info" then "OPEN for Comissions" then "GAH, That was a waste." Making yourself look pitiful will not change the fact that people don't want your stuff. Especially at the prices you guys are setting. I mean, honstly $20 for a coloured drawing? What are you, Da Vinci? You're a 15-25 year old speck of an artist in the community, just like everyone else. Let me just puncture that inflated ego of your right now.

To Those Who It Concerns:

I would like to issue a formal apology for the resent "Christ Rap" which I have been circulating throughout the internet and world. Although to begin with I found it rather humerous, I now understand that it may have been very offensive to several people of the Christian faith. I am in no way opposed to their beliefs, and am in fact quite fond of the culture they have established.

In closing, I would once again like to say how sorry I am about making such a rude and crass piece of writing about Jesus Christ, the lord and savor, and I am glad to inform you that any copies within circulation are slowly being removed.

Sincerely,
"Mushika"

The greatest irony of all is when you perform poetic justice on yourself. Just a second ago I went back and read the first journal entry I made on 2005, and wondered how I could ever sounds so all mighty and fool hearty.

I sounded like I knew everything, when I knew nothing at all.

I talked about how I analyze people, and am slow to judge. Nowadays I just look at a person and decide if I measure up to them, or rather, if they measure up to me. There's no second skin behind a person, there's no mask people wear. There's only that small twinkle you see in their eyes. That small twinkle that can tell you everything about one person.

Nowadays, I reserve the right to judge. Because when I do it, I do it right.

I look at a persons soul.

It's hard to explain, but its there. That small gleam that shows the deep from the dim, the heroes from the antagonists. I don't judge based on your skin colour, your age, your height, your brains. I judge you by what I see there deep in your sparkling dull eyes.

I don't know what I see in my own eyes, most likely because I don't want to see it. Because I'm afraid of what it might tell me. So for now, I'll just look into yours, and assure myself that it's still there...

Hope, and a beauty beyond anything you can get injected into your cheecks, or apply to your lips.

Ok, so let me dish this one out to you.

My school's having a January Dance. No big deal right? I mean, you pay a coupla bucks to get in, oogle at a bunch of pretty girls in low cut dresses, and then go home. But not this dance. Here we add the single most important element to any sucessful social gathering: Competition.

You see, there are only a select number of tickets avaliable for this dance. And that is why people want to go. Before everyone was just kinda thinking about it, "maybe if I get a date..." BUT NOW! Now swarms of protesters are littering the halls, demanding a re-sale, larger sale, super sale of tickets. This is all because of that beautiful element of competition. If the Oscars or that one night club weren't selective and limited, would you want to go? If the premier of Star Wars III sold tickets at the door, would as many people have gone? NO. Competition fuels todays culture ladies and gentlemen.

And that is the lesson of the day.

It is a proven fact that around the holidays each year, I become moody, thoughtful, and self reflecting. I mean, more than I usually am anyway. That's why I'm taking this moment to kick start...

That's right, from tomorrow on I will be posting a new piece of art everyday until Friday, bringing me back into the swing of art and stuff! The climax will be my entrie into the Vinnie Veritas Character Competition, and possible three dimentional sculpture art! ROFLS, I'm going 3D on your behinds small fanbase!

I've been feverishly working on getting the new and improved Arbuz Chokaro home site working by this weekend. And when I say feverishly, I mean spending little to no time browsing the net or chatting, just going from school work, to food, to Phantom Brave (If you had the game, you'd understand), to Flash. Don't expect me on AIM much thus, as I'm keeping myself tres buisy in the small time I have free during the day.

So far about 50% of the things I want to move are moving, which is good in my book. After that, I'm giving myself a month to finish the rest of the site, after which I'll buy a domain, and then the site will go live on Holloween, if all goes as planned. I think it's rather a nifty idea anyway.

Just to entice the little amount of fans I do have, here's a preview of the features I plan on adding to the site, with the help of Cloudy and Wendell of course.

- CU@D4534 band profile with sampler music.
- Completely revamped and restocked merchendise ad.
- More pink gummy goodness. (And it shall move. Oh, how it shall move...)
- Beaver Class donation club.
- The Full Cast of Arbuz Chokaro.
- Personal Profiles of the minds behind the Arbuz. (Including poorly referenced quotes!)
- Flash Movie Theatre Directory.
- And Perhaps Even More!

As always, tune in to any of my journals for updates. Choa.

Anyway, first is my very brief Otakupdate on Otakon. But instead of writing a paragraph, I'll do it in a nifty list of stuff!

Stuff I Did:
- Attempt to enter a DDR tourney. Chickened out before the qualifier song was even heard in the great Game Halls.
- Went to a Gaia Panel which seems way to hyped over at the time since I'm Beta Testing the same stuff they showed there right now.
- Wandered the Artists Alley and Dealers Room aimlessly until Sis finally went bonckers and started pressuring me to actually buy the stuff I keep concidering.
- Saw four male crossdressers. It was really alot less than I had expected, and none of them were fat. Just 40 years old and ugly. >,,<
- Saw an ITG booth and blew it up with a nearby granade launcher. Well, I wanted to anyway.
- Walked. A whole damn lot. The convention center is way to huge for its own good.
- Marveled at the many PVC statues and miniatures that were beings sold. Oh, the beauty.
- Saw Fred Ghallager of Megatokyo and Fake Radish of... well... Fake Radish.

Stuff I Bought:
- 1 "Bottled Faerie" 7" Kouroro PVC Statue (Coming to American Markets in November!)
- 2 Gashapon Frog Keychains
- 1 Gashapon Seed Destiny Figurine
- 1 Birthday Song White Makona (The tinkling music chimes in my ears so!)
- 1 OMG Hat from Genki Hats
- 1 Pita-Ten Vol. 8 (HOMAHGAWD, IT EES OVER! TT_TT)
- 2 Gaia Online Interactive Posters (SIGNED!)
- 1 "All Aboard The Mentalist Train" Chugworth 2004 Novel (SIGNED!)
- 1 Poster of Chloe Winsdale from Chugworth Academy (SIGNED!)
- 3 Assorted Pins from a random artist in the Artists Alley (Featuring Black Makona, Katamari Damashii's Little Prince, and a Chocobo)
- 1 Print by Fake Radish of Princess Crown/Eclair (SIGNED!)
- 1 TokyoPop Sneaks (Nifty and free)
- 1 August Donation Item from Gaia Online

Total: $120 Dollars

My question: Why did/are you devwatching me right now?

It's something I've come to concider recently. For, although I have a square 20 some people watching me, hardly anyone comments on my art, or probably even looks at it. So, why exactly are you devwatching me? Is it because you're too buisy to comment, or you don't feel like you have anything to say? Are you maybe waiting for something magical to happen to my skills, where they shall suddenly flourish and expand like a helium filled baloon? Well, I just wanted to know why. I'm not saying that I'm not greatful to all the people out there that came and thought I had something special to make them watch me, but if you really don't care about waht I post, why have me waste your inboxes?

I'd like to hear your answers.


In other news, Otakon is fast approaching. I shall be there, along with , checking it out for the first time, as this will be my first big con that I will be attending, and it should be exciting. Gonna play lots of DDR too, no arrows can escape my elite feet. (An off-hand quote from Breakdown, from 10kCommotion)

So, anyone that's also attending, I might see you there, might not. Depends on if you can guess who I am. Bwahaha. >,,< *I r dork*

Gallery has been hidden until August 7th. You all know why.

And I encourage you to do the same.



And by the by, I don't think anyone is evil here. I just want some answers, and what I got to far ain't cutting it.

OK, REALLY. FINAL EDIT.

Back in rational world...
I've gone and unhid most of my deviations. I left hidden things that I want hidden because they should be, and well...

I want to help Jark, but sometimes, hiding yourself won't help. I am a weak person, and I feed on community interaction. I'd much rather show people how we should act as a community, instead of attempting to tear the community apart as a form of protest.

I will don my art in yellow. But I will not hide my art from the world.

Because that's definately not what $jark wanted to happen to this community.

Choa.

Update- June 1

Well, I decided this would be my active work journal until I get to my good computer, not this puny laptop. My fingers keep hitting the wrong keys because it's all flat and such. Atleast I got highspeed internet here. It's all like WOOSH. and SWOOSH. I went to IKEA, looked around for some stuff. I got a catalogue that I'm going to send to Applegate and Katie, cause they asked for it. There were some seriously neat lamps there, like this one that looked like a blooming flower, and was made of these pringle chip looking pieces. I was about to buy it, but remembered that I have no place for it, really.

We have an apartment picked, gonna move in sometime soon, I hope. Still gotta trade some leases and whatnot. Also, I'm gonna either announce this for the first time or just... again. I'm going to Otakon in Baltimore! Wheeeeee! Cosplaying, Otaku-ing, and Pocky for me, yo. There's even so many people I can cosplay as. It's just so.... whee. And the chances are, I might be able to stay by myself, or with some friends, so that just makes it better! Anyway, psyched.

Well, I gotta go and, uhm, oh, who am I kidding. I'm jsut out of stuff to type. I AM living in a hotel. How much is there to say? Oh, we have a cofee machine in the lobby and there's a button for mocha and...

*thud*

Update- June 14

I am home! And I have the net! Oh, it makes me giddy. Giddy like a school boy who had just run into a box of lollies lying in the street. Then again, I'd be kinda cautious of those lollies. I mean, who would leave so many just lying around in the middle of nowhere? Anyway, I am happy. We have deer. And we have a forest. And we have a three story townhome with a basement. making four stories. Heheheh. Aside from that, leaving for the beach (three week camp thingy) Sunday, so any buisness you have with me shall be conducted before then. Or you won't have it conducted. DUH. And yes. Happy. had to clear out a new 139 messages that you guys dropped into my mailbox in the last three weeks. But that was ok too. I looked at everyones new art, but didn't comment on anyones, sorry. If you want me to, you really do, just tell me. Well, I'm off to be giddy and pack some stuff... And then get back on the internet again and jsut browse. Oh, the wealth of art and information is mine again at last! Woooo!

Tata. ]]> ~Mushika http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/4637756/ http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/4637756/ Mon, 21 Feb 2005 12:06:32 PST

Love is in your wallet.
This entry goes out to all you poor, poor and pathetic materialists out there. I hope you choke on your chocolates. Whatever happened to the time when you could write a poem to your love, and they would accept it, and understand that what you gave is worth more than anything in the world? No, today, poems have to come inside a bouquet of roses. I just don't get it. For the past month, I haven't wanted anything. I have $90 in my wallet, and I have half a mind to throw it all out. Even at the sign of one slight thing that I want, I barter. I trade, or I borrow. I never take more than I had before, and I never give away more than I think is right. Money is impartial. Money is green, and money is just paper with pretty drawings on it.

Food is the universal currency, to be honest. Food and drinks. I'd much rather have a bag of Fruit Loops than my watch, let's say. So would you. Then why did I pay $60 for my watch, and $2 for those Fruit Loops? We think that metals and rare materials mean so much to us, yet in the end, we don't go eat those rare metals, we go and eat those Fruit Loops. There's a question that has been bothering me, and ironically, it is from the movie 'Gullivers Travels"

"Why do we value these rocks so much? Well, in our land, they are called diamonds. We treasure them because they have great luster, and are very rare to obtain..."-- Gulliver to a Guihugnim.

Why do we value diamonds do much? At first, I couldn't find any reason except our own greed. Our own deseption. Our own love for shiny things. Then all those views changed when i heard a poem today. It said why diamonds were loved so much, so clearly, that I hardly could believe that it was so simple. It is because diamonds are pure. Diamonds are concidered the final. The ultimate in cleanliness, in purity. Diamonds are ideal. And that is why we really love them so much. And treasure them.

Makes it all seem so silly, ney?

I wonder why I bother with the rest of them. I see them, and I see them fretting over who won a game, and over who was cheating on who. I wonder how I can be placed at a level with them when I see so much, while they seem to see so little. Why am I concidered the same? Why i am I concidered to be someone who wants to squabble and move with them? Maybe I want to soar. Maybe I want to move up, and above what is given to me, and see if I would be able to master it the same as I master what I do now. I know there is much for me to see. I know there is much I do not understand, and there is much I will never understand. But why pull me along? Why throw me within the wave, when I strive to see so much more than it does?

I'll swim upstream. Let's see how long it will last me, and how heavy my boots of arrogance are, and how much they will pull me down to the bottom.

I admire Lewis Carrol for his ability to ignore reality. I admire him for his complete indifference to nature and its laws. So I write this poem in his honor.

The Quazi-quad

The bibbles bleep as they see fit
The chorte-chorts chortle as they may
But the Quazi-quad never rests

The Quazi-quad lies deep in thought
It lies in wonder, lies in draught
And wonders how it can be so
That it's quazi-tail is as quazi-long as it's quazi-snout!

The Quazi-quad feels nothing more
It dare not move, for fear of error
And moving not a single toe
Pondering it lies in thought, its quazi-eyes agleaming!

But along the Queeble comes
Snarling, flowing oh it comes
Pearly whites a gleaming.

And as the Quazi-quad there lies
Not letting forth but sighs
The Queeble stares upon it so
And suddenly was the Quazi-quad no more!

Moral- Live life to your potential, and don't stop to snag on the unimportant little things.

Anyway, what I really thought was interesting is the fortune I got with it. It went as follows;
"Although it feels like a roller coaster now, life will calm down."

It was the first fortune I ripped up and threw out. That's because I don't want this roller coaster ride to end. My life is a mess, a havoc, and it keeps me on my toes. Life is great. I keep looking around and wondering how I fell over my feet another time, and I just get back up and shrug it off, cause I know it'll all happen again.

We like to overcomplicate things, overanalyze. I keep myself on my own mind, atleast. The scary thing is is when I start analyzing my own psychee, and I answer my own questions that I wanted some one else to answer for me. Sometimes I surprise myself. Sometimes I think I know too much. Sometimes I think I know too little.

Today I compared my life and school life to the one doctors in the Vietnam War had. I wondered how I could even compare, when they had to reconstruct random human beings everyday of their lives, and still pretend everything could eventually be alright. Then I think. Everyday, I have to reconstruct myself, everyday I have to nitpick about what I want to really be, and I think. That has to be as hard of a job as reconstructing someone else.

I think. I'm tired too, as they are. I try to take a rest, try to take a break, but it all leads back down to work, work and more work. Even in my dreams I am haunted by the work I do by day. I enter a serene and calm land of my hopes, dreams, and aspirations, and suddenly it morphs into yesterday mornings pop quiz. Life has a nasty way of sneaking into our most loved dreams.

I grinned today. I smiled because I had a small call of hope from my muse. More or less, i called her, calling card style. My muse always comes to me at the strangest times. Just when I tire, just when I begin to look down, she is there. She smiles, although I do not see her smile, and she laughs, and I hear her laugh as clear as I hear you. She loves, and I can feel her love deep within my heart, and I wonder if I really deserve the love she gives me. I bekon her, I caress her, but my mind does not despose of miracles. I still remain the same, unchanged, here upon my perch infront of my electric scroll, and I write this note to you. Modern day Muses with iPods in play, come fill my mind, with torrents and castles from days long ago. Fill me with wonder. And let her be here.

I am in torment. I am in ecstacy. I am.

And for that I am greatful.

"Ok, from now on, your name is Hot Dog. And when God speaks, Hot Dog will listen. Is that understood?"-- Starbuck

It's funny to look back and read some of the stuff I wrote, say 4 months ago. There's been so many changes in everything that I do, say, draw, that it's wierd just to think "Whoa, I did THIS back then?" And it makes me both laugh and wonder... Will I be thinking of myself the same way in four months?

There's lots of moves I would have chosen to take now that I wouldn't have back then as well. I guess that comes from becoming more daring in life. There's also lots of small things I would have changed. Things I would have done in person. Things I shouldn't have. I never really thought to look back four months ago. I never really thought that the past was at all any concern to me. But now I look back, and I know the things I did then have affected what I do now.

Life takes me by suprise sometimes. Sometimes I meet someone, and I've wanted to meet them again, but I never can. Then there's people I'm forced to see everyday that I can't stand at all, and woould do great without. I wonder if I ever thought of it that was four months ago.

Nostalgia has become something of a comfort to me. I take a lego set from my basement and build it again, jsut to remind myself of the fun I had when I built it for the last time about 4 years ago. I take my 2003 sketchbook and I flip through the pages, and only by the end do I realize that this is ME who drew these things. I did it, and the indistiguishable fact is, if I suddenly didnt remember, I never would know. My perspective on life as a whole has changed.

Four months ago I never payed attention. I mean, I did, but never at the psychological level I do it at today. Back then, I never noticed how my best friend wears the same jacket each day for the past month, or how another good friend is slowly sinking into a deep and sensless self pity. I never noticed. I've taken a stab at finding the soul of a person, and sometimes I hit it, and sometimes I don't.

I'm slower to judge. I'm slower to decide if you really are a bad person, or a lazy person, or someone who really does care. There are many mirrors that may reflect what you want to see, but in the end, they break, and what's behind them is what matters. People who I've known for years seem to have developed such a complex psychee that I can't even tell what does on with them, some people haven't changed at all. Some people have changed entirely.

I pick. I choose. I wonder if I should change things. And I know I'd never do it if I had the chance. The world is a marvelous place. Don't waste it.

Begin 2005

Groove Sphere- A system by which I classify my drawings and sketches. The Sphere can go from a full sphere to a cresent, much like the moon. It's just a fun way to tell you how I'd rate it on a scale. I'll actually use it once I post something new.

Fun Factor- Used for paintings and photos. Since I can't seem to judge how good a photo or painting of mine is, I just decided to rate it depending on how fun it was to do. This way, I do not demenor it, I just say if I had fun doing it or not. (How well it came out, does somewhat effect what I write.)

Proofs- Small comments added after everything else analizying and scrutinizing ever detail of it, if I really wanna do it. These will also replace annoying *EDIT* things and such. Thought it'd be nice to do something different.

So there you have it folks, a method to the madness. Enjoy the many ways I condradict the Dead Poets Society in this, and don't worry. It's all just for fun.

But seriously. I had a very... emotional talk with Sunny yesterday, and it helped clear up alot of wierd.... internal psychological things I've been keeping bubbled up. Sunny really is an amazing friend, who knows alot more than she thinks... And that found out a little more herself... (I hope, if not, shame for not listening for an entire hour!) Yeah... I really suddenly feel the need for loving human contact, and I really dunno where to go looking for it... But you know what? I can deal. As longa as I'm still breathing and not wearing sweat pants I'm gonna be ok in the end, and it'll all come out fine. Just, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who was so nice to me for the past few weeks on and off line. Merry Christmas to you fools, hope you'll find as much relief in a little break as I do.

Aside from that, I'm dead tired. Since Thursday when I had to write a paper until 12 o'clock at night, I've been oddly sick and sleepy. I blame it on alergies, but I really dunno. I may really have caught something this time. Then the teachers have sudden;y started a war pact to finish EVERYTHING possible in the next two weeks before Chistmas Break, and it's been putting a dent in my... me time. (And Mrs. D, if you're reading this, it wasn't all your fault. I just tend to overwork myself, that's all!)

I've also started playing "Alice" again. It's a devilishly fun game in my opinion, and oddly tricky. While I usually get the hang of games very quickly, I'm still learning with this game. The basic plot is that, after her parents died in a horrible house burning accident, Alice has gone into a horrible drug induced coma, in which she returns to a "not so friendly" Wonderland. The art is gruesome in this game, coining the Rated M of this game, but there's really nothing too... obscene in it. I still have to meet the Mad Hatter, who is the most anticipated character of this entire game. See, I love the Mad Hatter, and I just CAN'T wait to see what he looks like in this Wonderland. Oh well, all in due time.

My scanner has been acting up lately. Whenever I scan something, it makes strange gurgling noises before it begins, and it sputters sometimes. I guess it's jsut getting old for a Lexmark, which are intended for... once in a blue moon use. But atleast I got a new coloured cartlige for my printer. I can now print beautiful coloured pictures with no trouble at all! ^_______^ And... ooph.

I'm dead tired, and I just wanna get started on theCG of the "Hidden Rooms" picture I've been drawing for the past few days, and to do that, I gotta clear my mind and just get it started.

Halo Day- Nov. 9th
The day when people went out at 12 o'clock at night and bought Halo 2 as it was released.

After halo Day- Nov. 10th
Now everyone who wanted Halo 2 has Halo 2. The party plans begin rumbling.

Halo Party Day- 11th
The day during which one or two people who own Xbox's join up, invite around 10 people, and form a giant party to play Halo 2 and/or just regular Halo.

So yeah, thats the basic 3 day celebration of the Halo Festival. Now, here are some of the highlights I experienced during Halo Party Day, at which I had a crappidy crap load of fun, may I add.

*Yes, I did play as an Elite, thank you. What's the use of having the option not to be a Spartan if you don't use it. Plus White base, red secondary as colours just look SO cool...

*My flag was a Grunt. Grunts= Small little aliens that know a twisted form of english. They're the coolest.

*Character name- "The Mad Hatter" Hey, haven't you ever wanted to see an Elite in a top hat? >,,<

Best Moment

Me- Hey, It's my turn to play man...

Wedell- No... It's not.

Me- Yes, it is.

Wedell- No! It's NOT!

Me- *takes him down, grabbing at the controller*

*A short battle continues, in which we manage to unplug every single controller in the Xbox*

Doorstop- Hey, stop it! *pulls out bee-bee shotgun*

Me- *gets shoved off*

Doorstop- *shoots shotgun*

Me- AW DAMMIT! THAT ^$^&*&(%*#*$ HURT!

This story was inspired by the very lovely webcomic, 10k Commotion. except... Mine is dirtier!

[link]

And uhm... yesh. I hope my story differs enough so that I don't have to credit Yukon Makoto, no matter how great she is. Most of the songs and or scores aren't based upon what I can do, but what I've seen others do, so no wailing. Story to be posted sometime or another today.

Now, aside from "saying" all that I'm gonna post in the next era like I always do, I'd rather spile about everything ASIDE from that, so as, not to make any damn promises.

Well, after browsing some forums, the question "do I look older or younger than my age?" arose. Well... I really don't know about that. Personally, I've always looked like the muffin munchin little runt I am, and prolly always will. Let's just say... I may properly tall, but I still look about a year younger. And then intelectually... Eh, I may act awefully strage... always, but that doesn't mean I'm not smart! I got a 1120 on the SAT's last year, and I still haven't taken a single highschool course, so boofa!

Yeahm, aside from that, life is kinda sucking it up this year. I dunno, aside from all my teachers suddenly making life either a) too easy for us or b) to hard for us everything seems so bland. I've known these people for way too long, and they've definatley known me for too long. They think they know how I act, what I do, and what I think... But I really doubt that they do.

Point being, I can't wait for this year to be over with.


The end.

Sulking Ilitchev Doom is now over. Thank you for listening ]]> ~Mushika http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/3514686/ http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/3514686/ Mon, 04 Oct 2004 20:44:35 PDT
*snort snort* Oh em ef geeh! I did the line art for my new profile today, and it looks SO DARN ADORABLE! I'm all... CHIBI! And yes, this means I've temporarily stopped drawing ID's, but I'm still not done with those, i swear! I have like... 5 more characters to do. But yeah, my new DeviantID is gonna kick some serious butt. It's also gonna come with brand new info updates, so that'll be cool too!

Aside from that I still owe PW some birthday gift art... Which I'm sorta slacking on... Cause, you know, unless I'm really syced about the idea, I kinda jsut sit there and think; "Yep, gotta do that gift art!" And it's even wrose now, counting I have no idea of what I wanna get her... The point is that it'll get to you when it does PW, so don't fret.

And then I'm gonna also conglomerate some gift art for the all too famous PPG Doujin, which is gonna have Bell as the main focus. (Cause we love Bell) and then I think I shall do some art of my newly made RPG, called "Phobia"

Phobia is actually a Language Arts assignment in whihc we have to create a game that teaches kids about Phobias. So, of course, me and mah friends chose to do an RPG. So far it's coming along nicely, and we're all quite proud of it, and ourselves. (And to think the teachers are being sceptical!) But yeah, it has to do with a band of warriors facing their fears in a strange and frighting place called "Phobia." And to think this thing is educational too! But yeah, we've done some serious coding in the past 2 weeks, and it'll be done by Thursday for sure!

And yeah, I'm doing art of the main characters.= as soon as I get to it.

So there you have it folks, upcoming art scedual. I know these change alot, but I think I'm capable of finishing atleast half of what I just said.

Anyway, aside from that happy spiel... (Still is bummed that everyone he knows that's outside this town has about 36-70 times more page views... >,,< ) I've got a question for you.

What is your computer called
And when I say this, I'm referring to the name you gave it under your computer controls panel. Not what you call it when it just crashed on you... again. I mean the name by which it is known, a name which appears under your "Turn off XXXXX" sign.

My computer, oddly enough, Is called Sir Bubbles. And here's the story behind good ol' Bubbles; Sir Bubbles is a character from 9th Elsewhere, a webcomic which I have learnt to love and charish after reading it since it first came out. And guess what Sir Bubbles really is? A tiny plastic whale that is encased within a bar of soap. No joke. And within the story, Sir Bubbles is saved from the evil peace of soap to float freely through the main characters dreamscape.

Well, ever since I named my computer, I noticed how sad and nameless the rest of my computer was. SOOOOOO. I named everything else I have. I named my Main hard drive "Osake" after my oh so loved MUD character that lays quietly there... All alone within the realms of a server, ditched for MMORPGs.

My floppy drive is now eternily called "Grunty" after those OH so lovable creatures that roam the land of "The World"

Then my lamo scanner is named Shugo... I should prolly rename it, because that name bothers me somewhat.

And last but not least, my jumpdrive, Yuzuki. Eh, I wuff Yuzuki. She helped me many times to transport things such as homework, art, and other important documents from one computer to another. *hugs imaginary Yuzuki doll* If you have no idea who that name really belongs to... READ CHOBITS. AND READ IT NOW!!!!

So yeah... Just wanted to blabber a bit... The usual

Log Out

PS- I figured out how to do this thingy!!!
*Demyrie

Bwahaha! I R SMART! It took me 3 months to finally figure it out. Man... That was easier then I thought. Anyway... Just thought I might mention it.

PPS- (Will prolly become an actual entree soon...) I GOT PHOTOSHOP! *does crazy dance thing* BOO YA! I CAN ACTUALLY WORK LIKE A REAL ARTISTS NOW! ph33r I SAY! PH33R!!!!!!!! *molt* This is the greatest day... ever. ]]> ~Mushika http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/3401644/ http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/3401644/ Sun, 19 Sep 2004 18:59:09 PDT
Now, several things. One is that yes, I am actually working on the Doujin, and I am almost finished with the first page. Huzzah! And you thought I was slacking off! And then I've also done a whole lotta practice sketches. SO... Expect something in the near future I say.

Two is an announcment.
Whoever reaches the 1k mark for me is getting a free custom drawing of W/E they want as a gift! WHOOOOOOOO! Celebrate, and refresh my page mucho lots. I don't wanna be the one to get 1,000 page views for myself! Cause drawing things for myself sucks. So yeah. Come on lucky 1,000!!!!

And that'd be all. I'm tired, sleepy, and sore footed from playing DDR all day today and yesterday, and then biking. I feel rather dead. Buh bye

Oh... how wrong I was. I am NOT over that damn game, nor will I ever be. Just now a hopped from 600 np, to 800np, to 200 np. All because of that dang slots game. I swear, if I ever go to vegas, just strap me down into a chair and don't let me anywhere near any gambling games. Because you may find me begging for some money... say, 1,000 dollars? Anyway, my rant wasn't about this... although it highly partakes in what I am about to say.

Neopets-- AKA Neocrack. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying it's mind numblingly addictive. I even know these facts, and I still insist on playing it. The reason being, if I DO play my cards right, I can seriously profit from this little pet managing site. I mean, Nowadays, when you're playing BS atleast one person says "You mean Cheat?" Nowadays, when you draw a dragon, people automatically jump up and ask; "Is that a Shoyru?" I mean... Only the internet-less do not know of neopets. So here's MY scheme. I am going to, with no shame, profit from this crazy addicitive game. How so may you ask? Here's my Outaku explanation of it.

1- People love fanart
Admit it. You like fan art. I like fan art. THEY like fan art. Everyone likes fan art for crists sake. No matter what you draw fan art of, there is always gonna be a certain party that is gonna recognise it and squeal about how great it is.
EX- ~bleedman's Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi. I mean, when I saw that I was like OMFG! That's so awesome!!! And the scary thing is.... I HATE THE POWERPUFF GIRLS. I mean, just the fact taht they're a bunch of wittle kindergartners that beat up a green monkey repeatedly creeps me out. And then the way they say 'Chemical X.' It's just.... *shudder* But that's not the point. The point is I knew what it was, and with all the cameos in it, I LOVED that stinking thing. I thought it was the greatest doujin in the world. My point made

2- People love cameos
Heck, you know you do! It's great to see your favorite character from one storyline jsut pop up in another favorite storyline. Just like the Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi. I mean, even if you hate the powerpuff girls, you got Dexter, Zim, Gir, Courage, Samurai Jack, etc... So there's something for everyone. I mean, if you've ever watched Cartoon Network, you know who they are. So yeah... Cameos are good.

3- People like things that are over-rated
Cause if it's over-rated, everyone knows what it is! Everyone can join in the conversation when you talk about it! Everyone joins in, you get conversations going, and you have a good time. And that's that!

So... combining those concepts, I have ingeneered this-- A NEOPETS DOUJINSHI! No ones EVER done it, and I'm gonna cameo EVERY pet that's even remotely famous... and it's FANART! and best of all... IT'S ABOUT NEOPETS! Everyone knows it! Everyone knows what it's like! EVERYONE WILL LOVE IT! Bwahahahahahahahaha! ph33r my burning intelect.

And... uhm... That's all the news, except that I got a new pet on NP... A Male Kougra. Soon to be a nice translucent shade of Ghost... As soon as I save up... and get a transmog pot for Erika. She shall be a Kougra too! Ph33r the Kougra love man! ph33r it!

Today I recently dropped my dumb poogle in exchange for a cute and huggable revamped Kougra. AND I spent 90k painting her brown... So, obviously, I was enthralled that I had such a cute looking pet. Then, at around four, I check the Neopets updates page. I see that the random theme is "Mutants" and I'm browsing around, seeing what's new, you know, the usual. Then I'm like... "Ah... so much scary uglyness, I think I shall go and look at my cute pets and pet them and feed them and LOVE THEM!" So then I go to my profile and almost burst out screaming, because ALL MY PETS ARE MUTANT. Even my uberly loved 2 year old Baby Shoyru! I am like "OMFGWTFBBQ! MY POOR PETS.... NOOOOOOOOO!" So then, after paniking histerically for about 5 minutes, I check on other peoples pets to see if this is just me, or all of Neopia. Turns out, it's everyone. *phew* And everything will be back to normal tomorrow.... *sweat* I hope. And yeah... that's why I am still shivering in my black chucks. Blame me if you want, but my pets put together cost about 400k! You know how much work that takes? How much paint staken labor I put into making my babies beautiful, and then THIS?

Anywho... Today was third day of school. YAY! I LURVE MY SCEDUAL THIS YEAR! My classes are so strategically conveniantly placed... And my teachers are great, and... everything. This is gonna be a "Good Year." A VERY good year. And let me introduce you to my scedual!

1st hour- Science
Kehehehe... My science teacher grew a beard this year. It's so cool looking too! It's like he's some great Czar of Russia or sumthin. I'm so calling him "The Czar" behind his back all year. But yeah, he's cool though. Plus we get to burn stuff this year.... ALOT of stuff. >,,<

2nd hour- Kansas History, US History
YAWN. I dislike this class alot. Just because it's dates... and facts... and it's about Kansas half the year... So yeah, not the ideal class, but I can pull a B in here... Even if I am bored stiff. Our teacher is ok though... She wears cool clothes. o,,O

3rd and 4th hour- Geometry
MWAHAHA! The ideal class for me. I am SO whooping ass in here. I love math, the more reason for me to like this class. The teacher is great too. Everyone calls her "Chief" (Prolly misspelled it, sowwy) so... so do I. However, I didn't quite get off on the right foot wid her... I chucked her favorite KU Jayhawk plushie behind a bookshelf... Got detention for it too. > ,,< But yeah, we're getting along quite fine even so... I think she mentally erased the incident from her mind or sumthin.

5th hour- Francais
O la la! J'aime bocoupe francais. C'est super cool! J'adore de language international. Et toi?

6th and 7th hour- Language
Ah, the land of self expression. I shall settle in well... Yes, yes I shall.

8th hour- Lunch
I hate lunch. We have to FILE IN for crists sake! It's like we're in jail! So... lunch was never my strong point. It's more of a nurishment interval than lunch. Kehehe... nurishment interval...

9th hour- Proctoring (Teachers Aid)
Ah... nothing better than helping a teacher while hanging out wid one of my best friends and missing PE for it. It's great, and it makes me think that I'm almost out of school soon.

10th hour- Art (The end)
Well.... I would enjoy this class, if only our teacher was a bit more... enthusiastic. She tends to... fall asleep because she's so nausiated or sumthin. The point is she likes to drag out simple things all the time, and we never get time to work. So, the class is OK, but not great.

So there you have it. My little scedual of doom. Personally, I love it. Fun classes in the morning, and then the bad classes in the afternoon when I'm about to go home anyway! Wewt!

Well, I think that's enough of a rant. I was gonna say something else... but I forgot, so you get away easy! Tehehe... But yeah,

Well... Tis be the weekend of faith my friends. This is the last weekend of freedom I shall have for a LONG time now, so I shall completely missuse it to my advantage, yup yup. And I'm gonna missuse it so; Instead of doing all these UBER useful things like drawing, editing XXDXX Ch. One, beating punchbag bob, or reading, I'm gonna crawl from one soft and fluffy object to another in a fetal position, sleeping. ALOT. Because this is the last real amount of sleep I'm gonna get in a long time. I may day dream, or be half asleep, but I shall not sleep. So, in other words... Don't expect me to be online, being active and such for the next 2-3 days. Because the next few days are just me and that couhc over there. (As usual, it's prolly gonna turn out that I'm gonna do the exact oposite and am going to be UBER active and productive and write two more chapters of XXDXX and then draw numerous numbers of Demz Gift Art... But for now my plan stands clear) Now, I'm gonna do something that I usually don't do. Create numerous amounts of tiny paragraphs that only get a single idea cross each time and look really dumb.

My first announcment... DERI... I mean... BATTY IS A BISHIE! w00t! Say it loud, say it proud! Yup yup, today it has been decided, and so it shall be. And also, I made alot of changes to Ora's character. She's more of a sarcastic bitchy tomboy instead of the original perky sarcastic cheerleader idea I had for her. I know, big difference.... But it's all part of character development.

Second tiny paragraph! Well... Last week I spent 4 days trying to beat Punchbag Bob... And i finally won. (For those of you not familiar with neopets... Bob is literally a humanoid shaped punchbag that you can fight. The trick is... He can't attack, but he has 5000 hp. I did about 9 damage average everytime it was my turn. Go do the math) But that's not the point. The point is that after beating him, my score didn't get recorded! OMFG, like AARRRGGG! I was mad... And I filed a bug report. But now I have to redo it all. I may have better weapons this time, but I still do an average of 18 damage, so it's still gonna take a hellishly long time to redo. God, I hate that biotch.

Third pointless short paragraph. I beat .hack//MUTATION... And I need 3. I NEED THREE! The ending of the second one was such a frigin cliffhanger that it's not even funny. But the great thing is... I'm finally 2 levels higher than Orca, and I have about a million more gold than he does! EAT THAT PUNK! Kehehe... Then again, he is in a coma... That might explain his lack of training. >,,<

Fourth tiny paragraph! All my projects are going as planned... As in, I'm actually doing work on em. Tommorrow I go to the store and BUY BUY BUY! Jones. Then I find a picture of the flag of canada, and then I shall be set for my latest project. (ooooo... cliffhanger)

And that... I think... Is all. The temperature is slowly decreasing over here in Kansas, but then again, today is better than yesterday. Yesterday it was 56 FRIGIN DEGREES OUTSIDE! Man, isn't this still summer? Gawd... Frigin cold... And it rained. Cold and rain do not go well together. At all. I disliked the situation greatly, because I was locked inside a house all day in which the air conditioning was on, and I couldn't do anything about it, so it was like... 50 degrees inside my house... *brrrrrrrrr* Well, time to leave and go into 3 day hybernation!

Well, I actually do have a few projects planned for the near future to be quite honest. I've got one BIG jones commercial planned for the next few months, and I'm gonna have to buy ALOT of new, full bottles for this one. ALOT. But that's all I'm gonna say.

Then I also have another project for another product by Jones Soda Co. which is an energy drink called Whoopass. Now, this one might actually cost MORE than my Jones commercial, but it's gonna be good. I promise you, it's gonna be good. And I'm gonna be drinking way too much soda in the next weeks. But yeah, these two things are gonna take a while to set up, and THEN they'll be online, all trim and proper, so no worries there.

THEN, I also have a several Neopets related sketches that I'm gonna CG and post in the next few days, as well as a refined version of Erika, because I didn't like a few aspects of that picture. And as a grand finale piece I've got some Gift Art for a special someone who's name I'm not gonna reveal quite yet... But this one I'm gonna put all my heart into, because I think this person definatly deserves the best. But this sketch I'm gonna work on for another LONG while (Since I'm still stuck with ol' Ghetto here) but I'm sure I'll get it done by ATLEAST September.

So, it's getting late in my part of the country, and I really feel like I need some sleep. (For once in my insomniacy life) So... Tata!

CAUSE THE RUSSIANS ARE IN ATHENS TO KICK SOME ASS! Tehehe.... Aren't I so patriotic?

(But just the old school Trek, not the new crap. It sucks... ALOT.) Anyway, yeah, I'm still alive, and even though I'm not posting ANYTHING except this journal for the time being, I bring joyous news! And that news is...........

I'M GETTING PHOTOSHOP SOON! YES! YAHOOOOOOO! *Small party infront of compy* PHOTO-SHOP! NO MORE GHETTO PE FOR ME BABY! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ahem. Now that I got that out of my system. Nothing much else to say except that I have a weally... WEALLY bad headache. As in my head is splitting into two pieces. GAH. It hurts. Much. Anyway, I gotta run and see them light the torch. Buh bye! ]]> ~Mushika http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/3081193/ http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/3081193/ Mon, 09 Aug 2004 09:11:24 PDT ~Mushika http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/3056843/ http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/3056843/ Fri, 06 Aug 2004 10:34:24 PDT
Yes, the shameless promotion of that ol' Canadian Soda is still going strong! This one actually took me some resources to make... for once. I mean yeah, buying numerous Jones Bottles just to make commercials is kinda using up resources, but they don't count. I mean, without Jones, How could I make these commercials. Well, anyway, todays picture went smoothly. It just took me a while to get the right backdrop for it. I mean, i tried what? 3 tables and 1 random backdrop before I got what I wanted. And then I also had to go dig up some cards and pocker chips.... Which also took a while. But I'm good now. And it's done. And I think it looks Sooper Dooper. Yes, that's the Jones way of spelling it, so I'll go with it. HA. But anyway, still working with my cheap ass camera, as you can see. I wish I could finally get a REAL camera, instead of a digital one. I mean, I do have a scanner. I need to use it for something than scanning my drawings and random US documents... I mean... OH SHIT! SOMEONE PUT THEM IN THE SHREDDER! NO! NOT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS! Aw shit... This can't be good. *Shifty eyes* Yeah, I'll keep typing until some govermental officials come and blow me up. Hehe... *sweat*

Man... I desperately need to play some .Hack... But I just don't have time. Between posting stuff on DA, chatting, and then doing all the housework I need to do, I can't even get some time to watch TV, except when I wake up, drag myself downstairs, and just lie down infront of it. I also started typing up the once again nameless story. The reason it's nameless again is because at first I titled it "Ten Years of Solitude" but then I found out there's a book called "100 yers of solitude." *headdesk* No wonder it sounded familiar. But yeah, Ima start posting it online as soon as I finish typing up the first chapter. It's a real bother too. But it's giving me the chance to add some more pages to my weak bodied story.

Anyway, back to .Hack. I need to seriously get some game guide help. I'm stuck with that stupid giant idiot Cubia that doesn't even fight you itself, but sends out a bunch of sperm lookin thingies to fight you. And the most annoying thing is that the main sperm thing gets healed by three other sperm things. Then three other ones attack you, and three other ones cast spells on you. So you're in this tiny little area that's barely enough to fit 20 players, surrounded by floating sperm that's attacking you and making squeaking noises, and you can't win! It's so fucking annoying. And then the stupid main sperm keeps swiching between magic and physical resistances. Stupid sperm.

And what is my problem with saying "Only" instead of "online?" I've never done it before, but I noticed I've been doing it recently. It's odd. I just randomly re-read what I wrote a second ago and I see; "I finally got only today! I'm so happy!" And I'm thinkin... ok... What the crap. I mean, are they even similar? no. except for the first two letters, they have nothing in common, yet I still mix them up. I think I'm jsut going insane. Or somethin. Or I'm just typing too fast and trying to abbreviate everything. Ex. I have indefinately changed the spelling of "just" to "jsut." I can't even write it the normal way anymore. It bugs the crap out of meh. Yet, even so, I presist with writing "color' the british way, "colour." Which is, actually alot cooler. Just like I write grey instead of gray. Gray sounds dumb. "Hey look everyone, I'm wearing a Gr-a-i sweater!" opposed to, "I'm wearing a gr-e-i hat." It's just another stupid American thing that I have to make fun of all the time. Plus writing the british way in your writing gets on your teachers nerves alot. It's fun. They're like; "Uh, Alex, I think you misspelled color." and I look at it and persist with saying, "I don't see anything wrong with the word colour." Kehehe... gr-a-i.

You know what? I have way to much to say now adays. Maybe it's jsut because I don't have many people to talk to around my hosue, having to dodge constant argument and scientific chatter. So I say everything I wanna here. It's actually quite soothing in a way. I think Ima do it more often. Except, when I go to school again in a few weeks, these things will certainly shrink. That's just how school works.... Well, I gotta run. I have this russian book I'm aching to finish, plus I wanna re-read Chobits. So see you everyone.

See, I'm not one of those people that goes, "I wanna become an astronaut!" and then becomes a burger flipper at the BK Lounge. (Burger King, for those of you that have never heard that expression...) I'm more one of those, "Wow... I'm doing great now, but I know this'll all go away after highschool, and I'll end up flipping burgers at the BK Lounge..." and then I'll end up going to colledge and getting a great job and all taht shit. Wow... You can tell I'm excited abou the future, right? Actually I don't like thinking about the future. I don't like taking part in shading the future. In fact,I absolutely LOATHE the idea of being conciderred part of this great generation that will bring the future of technology. Personally, I'd prefer just sitting around at my 5-9 job and buying whatever the hell product my best friend in colledge engeneered. (how you spell that again?) Anyway... Man, I'm in a cussy sorta mood. Shit... Man, I'm such a cynic. I don't look forward to things, but that's the only cynical side of me. Whenever I'm doin something, and it's happening right now, hell, I'm having the time f my life! In fact, whenever I just go with whatever comes at me, I do the best job I ever did and have the most fun doing it. But that's just the way i work.

Ah, I think the bitchiness is fading off now. lol. Yeah, but I'm still not done ranting! ^o__o^ BATTY! Anyway... Man, so many people can't play RO with me. It makes me sad. Demmie has a MAC, so she can't play it, even though I wanted her to REALLY badly. Then Blaire's dad won't let her install it because he thinks EXE files cause viruses. WHAT THE HELL? I've played the fucking game for four months now, and I haven't gotten a single fucking virus. I even told him that. But obviously it's like; "No, we're just being extra safe, because we don't want our piece of shit, Windows 98, Pentium 2 to break." GOD! That thing should be set on fire, you cheap asses! You ever heard of buying new computers? Why the hell do you even care about that old piece of crap? *ahem* Atleast Andrew get's to play. But he's a mean ass on RO (No offence Andrew!) Then again, I did send him to Nefelhim that one time... And then everyone else is still downloading the friggin 608 MB thing.

Oh, and also, my new, all time favorite band is here! THE WHITE STRIPES!!!! *Hushed silence* Oh coem on, don't tell me you haven't heard of them! They're the ingenious people who play "Seven Nation Army" and "The Hardest Button to Button!" Anyway, but yeah... I SO need to buy all their music now. Just because it's the greatest. And their music videos are really cool too. Ex. There's one that's completely made of lego's being animated. That one was... I forgot the song. I'll have ta find it later. But yeah... if you ever get the chance, listen to some White Stripes, It'll do you a world of good.

Oh wow... I made this thing really long again, didn't I? I'm sorry. I have alot to say I guess. Now if only I could get those pesky emoticons straight. All I know is ... And I found that one out by pure luck. Well, I gotta run. Sowwy.

Even RO doesn't have the same appeal it usually does. No one I know is online, there's a problem with the description files on my compy, and I'm getting bored with training in the same exact places all the time. TT_____TT Whatever happened to the good old days when killing a poring would give you a lvl and a job lvl? Whatever happened to the good old days when I could go into the Orc Graveyard and rake up MUCHO experience points? I dunno. I guess in the end it all sorta went down the drain. Somehow. I just want a new challange without having to walk through 4 lvls of dungeon to get to it. And then I tried fighting Nine Tails with my best friend yesterday. All I can say is... OW. I got struck down about a minute into the fight (lvl 86) and my friend went down soon after. AND HE HAS 4 DOPPLES! AND HE'S LVL 111!!! It was bad. Oh well, atleast now I can prowdly say that I've met 3 bosses in my RO playing life time. In fact, I think it's about time for me to play some more. It seems to relax me a bit.

Why is it that Wichita seems to be a really boring place now? I mean... Yeah, it's home, but for some reason Lawrence was better... Maybe it was the fact that I had to live by a scedual, or that I could go and visit my friends any time I wanted to by going upstairs. Oh wow... I miss that. I still remember that whenever I got even the smallest smidge of free time I would run upstairs and pop into my friends rooms, just jumping into the conversation. Now, I have to sit around for a day, call my friends, ask if I can come over, then get a ride, and THEN I can go over. And then, of course, I miss the dances. (Sorry Jessy if I'm depressing you even more... but I gotta get it all out! TT-TT) I just miss sitting around in the corners and writing or doodling while I wait for a slow dance or a mosh-er (Is that even a word?) to come around. Man, TIP is the best. It's better than school, it's better than home... It's better than anything. In fact, I wish it'd be longer. ALOT longer. Like... 4 weeks long. Or somethin. But, even if it was, I know I'd still just ask for more. Arg... Where's the r-pop when I need it? I NEED RUSSIAN POP MUSIC! NOW!!! As soon as I find out where Megan lives, I'm gonna take a private plane down there and steal all her r-pop fo myself. MUHAHA! No, just kidding. But I am gonna ask her for copies of her CDs ASAP. Man... I miss random techno, r-pop, or w/e blaring in the background. It's just too quiet. It just is.

Holy crap... Giant rant. BUT I'M NOT DONE YET! Well, yesterday, while reading Megatokyo, I noticed that everyone keeps mentioning something called "Kino's Travels" or "Kino's Journey." Now I only have a faint clue of what it is, but I wanna read it... or watch it I mean. The dang thing isn't out in english yet. But the anime DVD's are out... So... I'm gonna buy those as soon as I get un-broke. And since they cost 3x as much as manga, they better be good. In the mean time I'm gonna sit around and doodle fan art for Kino... And mess up horribly while trying to draw Hermes, cause it's a motorcycle... and I suck at drawing those. Now, as for this giant dispute about wether Kino is a guy or a girl... SHE IS SOOOOOOO A GIRL! No regular guy has that much... breast. Seriously though... If you look at most of the pictures Kino is always posing in very feminin poses, displaying, quite obviously, some bust in the upper chest region. And once again, I would hate if Kino was a guy. That would just completely ruin the whole cool-ness of the story. I mean... wow, a guy that rides around on a talking motorcycle... how original. Now, a GIRL that rides around on a talking motorcycle makes it interesting. Because it shows some... shall we say... independance. Because, for once, you have a chick in a manga that isn't always clinging too or following some guy, who is the main character. So yeah, KINO IS A GIRL!

oh, and the reason for calling this entrie Sky Lamb. Because that's how I feel. Out of place. Yes, even though I am technically at home. It's just so many things have happened to me in the past three weeks that home doesn't really feel like home anymore. I mean, it's all still very familiar, but it just doesn't have that wonderful feeling that TIP had. It's just... here, and there's nothing special about it. So, just like if a Lamb were to fly in the sky, it would feel out of place, I feel out of place now. Arg... If only I lived in Tulsa, then atleast I'd be near... ]]> ~Mushika http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/3014029/ http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/3014029/ Sat, 31 Jul 2004 20:50:25 PDT
In other news, if you've read TIME magazine some time around now, you've prolly noticed the article about "Anime Girls." I hate to say this... but those little dolls look really cool. Those are prolly the most detailed dols I have ever seen, and the great thing is... THE DON'T HAVE OVERLY LARGE SIZED BREASTS! Oh god... Just reminds me of camp even more... I'm gonna go drink some tea. That always calms me down a bit. See ya all later.

Oh, and visit Demyrie's account. Not like she needs more page views, but I love her and her stuff, so go there anyway! >..< ]]> ~Mushika http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/2940072/ http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/2940072/ Thu, 22 Jul 2004 08:32:13 PDT ..< Anyway, I just got a chance to get on the internet, and I'm here to tell you that I'm very well not dead, but alive, and will update ALOT once I get back, because I had a shot of skill pill when I got here. So yeah, lotz of good stuff coming up. And it'll all be coloured! whewt! Also, I am stocking up on art supplies here in Laurence, cause they seem to have everything! I MEAN EVERYTHING. Anyway, it's lotza fun over here, I've met lotza other cool peoplez (Including Demyrie O______O Check out her stuff... Now) And I will be very sad when I leave the conference next week. TT______TT

Also, I started a new story here. WOG will be put on hold for a bit, mainly because of my lack of M*A*S*H here. (My main inspiration for the stories) My new story though, was mainly based upon one painting of a little bat called Unloved. Long story, but my story is developing well... yesh it is. ^-^ I would have to say that a new setting has helped me develop alot, and this is really like a vacation to me then anything else. Plus people really like my stuff here, and it makes me even more inspired to work on my stuff. Anyway, I'm attempting to also bring back a few photo's of the town, so that I can have a few more additions to my photo gallery. Sorry everyone, unfortunatly, there will not be any new Jones Soda Ads for a while. There's no soda here, so that kinda doesn't work. Plus I have a nice little box of Orange & Cream waiting for me in the fridge as soon as I get back to my humble home. (mmm... orange & cream.) Now back to photography. I'm actually thinking of buying myself a whole lotta disposable camera's and using them instead of my digital one. (Cause it sucks... bad) So yeah.

Also, here's a sneak preview of my story. (Actually the only preview, cause I'm not gonna post this one online. Cause it has lotsa Russian in it) Here we go;

A mild fall wind howeled through the souless city as the first stars began to speckle the night sky. The only visible light was coming from a miniscule lantern that was moving slowly down the road. That lantern was tied around the neck of a tiny fruit bat which was fluttering weakly through the abandoned streets. As it reached a sky scraper with the crumbling title "The New York Times" on it the bat dived into a dusty broken window on the third floor and then lay huffing and puffing on the ground.

And that's that. I'll see you all week after next, and then there will be light... I mean, art... Uhm... yeah...

This was directed at a senetor of Vermont, not the US, so there's no need to worry... Unless you live in Vermont.
Now, the second is from Martha Stewart;
"I miss my old job terribly"
Now, persoanlly I still say you don't just slam an old lady in jail for 2 years for stealing some funds and crap... Even if the general public hates her guts.
Now, after reading both those quotes only one thought came to mind; "Only in the USA" Only in the USA can a vice president completely cuss out a senetor! Only in the USA can we kick our favorite morning cook show host in the slammer for two years! Only in the USA my friends, only in the USA. ]]> ~Mushika http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/2751000/ http://Mushika.deviantart.com/journal/2751000/ Sun, 27 Jun 2004 21:30:27 PDT [link]

I know both ideas were terrible, but come on, I can't post something EVERY day! I made all these great shots and Jones Ads and everything! You can't expect something after all that! I kinda drained out my talent the past few days. I couldn't even draw anything right. TT_TT Oh well, nothing that a week of not drawing can't cure! Hm... maybe I can write something. Let me give it a shot right now!

The heavens cry for her today
I know, because the rain won't stay away
And as I walk along the path wich leads me on forever more
And as I see nor friend nor foe
I wonder... Was she the one that I adore?

I see not light, not dark
I only see the clouds above
Filling the land and my soul with the never ending rain
Which binds me to walk along this forgotten path
Into the land of never ending pain

Yeah, yeah... I still got my writing chops. I don't even know why I write gloomy things like that... It just comes naturally. It doesn't even reflect on how I feel right now... Well, I might was well get writing then, since I just got my juices fired up! (Just gonna finish this poem up and then post it...)

No peeking... Ok, it's "Aura" from the .Hack//Sign Soundtrack. Yes, I am obsessed with .Hack. I've spent approximately 23 hours playing .Hack//INFECTION. And now that I've beaten it, I need the next game. But I can't get it cause I'm REELY low on cash. I know what you're thinking... "Dude, those games were out LAST YEAR. What are you doing still not being finished with them?" Well, the fact is that I only got my PS2 around Christmas. So now I'm basically catching up. There was only one dissapointing thing in .Hack//INFECTION. The fact that you can only have 3 grunties. I mean, imagine my surprise when I was ready to raise my very own Skeleton Grunty, I got a bunch of food ready, and BAM! There wasn't a baby grunty there for me to raise! And I reely want to ditch my Poison Grunty... It looks so stupid, and ugly. But heck, I like my Iron and Noble Grunties. The Noble one wears a sweater! Gah, and of course my least favorite Boss in the entire game is Skeith. 6 times I couldn't even data drain him... 3 times I did data drain him, but he still killed us all, and then I finally beat him. After that the Parasite Dragon was a piece of cake. I still haven't beat the lst goblin, but oh well, like I care.

Anyway, I'll stop rambling now... I think... Just another short one.

Man, I miss my little RO server. I miss the felling of logging on and meeting all my friends in Prontera. I miss watching priests summon up giant boss monsters into the town square and obliterating everyone... I miss the Porings quietly strolling through the fields, smiling at you happily. I miss hunting for Sasquatches to get white herbs and then to make whote potions with them. I miss that feeling of joy when I'm surrounded by foes, and I win. I miss that feeling when I get a rare item and sell it for lots of gold. But most of all I miss feeding my little Munak, and then thanking me greatfully for the food. I miss watching her trail after me like a little lost puppy following someone home. I miss her mysterious Chinese way she does things... Gah... I miss RO SO FRIGIN MUCH. (Any of the people that played it with me need to understand that I might be gone when the server comes up again... So... it may be worse for me... TT_TT)

Anyway, I'm done.
