                <description><![CDATA[ Just thought I should UPDATE since my internet crapped out on me TWO MONTHS AGO and I haven't really been on very much since then cuz my DAD doesn't like me on HIS compy because I print GUITAR TABS and stills from the awesomely-animated movie HORTON HEARS A WHO! (don't laugh at me--it's a FREAKING COOL MOVIE and I want to draw the characters JUST right and CGI-looking and all that!) like CRAZY that use up all his INK so he doesn't TRUST ME on this thing!!<br /><br />...how's that for primal scream therapy? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />HANYWAYS I miss you all very much, friends, enemies, and people who actually read this stuff <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" />. I've been super busy, and I seriously know I need to post more art.  I actually am working on a couple painting commissions though <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/painter.gif" width="34" height="29" alt=":painter:" title="Painter" />, so those are coming first. (Because $$ is good for you <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":-)" title=":-) (Smile)" />. Especially for broke people like me.)<br /><br />~NM<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rose.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":rose:" title="Rose" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

Post these rules<br />2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves<br />3. Tags should write a journal/blog of these facts<br />4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named<br />5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged<br /><br />Oooooookaaaaaaay:<br /><br />1.) My favorite foods are carrots and strawberries.<br /><br />2.) I rarely forget my dreams <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dizzy.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":dizzy:" title="Dizzy" />; they're almost always pretty freaky, too...<br /><br />3.) I love long hair waaaay too much--especially on guys.<br /><br />4.) I don't really watch TV.<br /><br />5.) ALL music is fine for me. Rarely do I hate any type of music, even the widely-shunned (but also widely-appreciated) Country and Rap genres. Opera too <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sing.gif" width="29" height="20" alt=":sing:" title="Singing" /><br /><br />6.) Currently I am flat broke. FLAT. BROKE. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /> OH! And I need to sell some of my manga off to make room on my shelves, too. Any ideas on finding interested buyers, being that I don't do eBay? <br /><br />7.) I hate how iTunes always makes everything capitalized even if in Standard Formal English it's not supposed to be <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rage.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":rage:" title="Rage" />.<br /><br />8.) I can't stop subscribing to Rolling Stone magazine even though I do realize that it is the most biased magazine in the entire freakin' world and that its writing quality has very steadily decreased since like, 1980 or so. <br /><br />I'm not gonna tag any peeps unless they want to consider themselves tagged, just because I believe chain things like this can really annoy the crap out of poor, unsuspecting artists like meself.<br /><br />*~<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frail.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":frail:" title="Frail" />NM<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frail.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":frail:" title="Frail" />~*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday I went to see the movie "The Other Boleyn Girl," and let me tell you, it sure made me grateful for my own sister <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> Anne Boleyn was a b**ch!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/backstab.gif" width="42" height="16" alt=":backstab:" title="Stabbed in the back!" /> I mean seriously, and I found myself only half knowing the story of Anne's beheading. It was an interesting, albeit "16th-century-made-into-Jerry-Springer" movie. I liked it a lot, and the acting was superb. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /> <br /><br />Unfortunately, then I went over to Barnes & Noble. It's a sad, sad time when I walk into a bookstore and feel too broke to buy a single thing. ESPECIALLY when I spent almost two hours there browsing! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/library.gif" width="50" height="30" alt=":library:" title="mmmm books..." /> However, I read like three manga and one short book that I was thinking of buying previously. Needless to say I won't have to get sucked into buying them now <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" />.<br /><br />I have sketched a lot, yes, but when I find something worthwhile is when I will post. Yep. That's all I have to say. I work tonight, so from now on will be another busy day. See y'alls later.<br /><br />~NM<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rose.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":rose:" title="Rose" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Man, how could such a geat weekend lead to such a crappy Monday? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/no.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":no:" title="No, I disagree!" /> I'm so depressed.<br /><br />Just this past Saturday, I was captain of the team that won the Japan Olympiad competition in my state (for my level) <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winner.gif" width="15" height="29" alt=":winner:" title="Winner" /> It was a fun, nerve-wracking, hilariously fun, looooooooong day of competition, but I came out so much more confident than when I went in at first. I am so proud of my awesome teammates. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" /><br /><br />However, Sunday I had to rush to write a narrative paper, and I chose a topic that I probably shouldn't have. It was very personal, and now that some people have read it I wish I could disappear <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/begone.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":begone:" title="Begone!" />. What made it even worse is that someone ELSE chose my same "topic," and did it so much more in detail and so much more depressedly. Because my paper was a personal matter, her deep and undeniably better paper really put me to shame and struck a chord in my heart, too... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br /><br />I asked my teacher if I could rewrite mine because I felt so terrible after all that, and he said yes, I could. But I grew so embarrassed and sad not being able to articulate why I wanted to rewrite my work. It was a very personal matter, after all! I just feel sad, sad sad...And to be honest, it's one of those days that I really can't help but express it until it goes away.<br /><br />That means...drawing time. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/painter.gif" width="34" height="29" alt=":painter:" title="Painter" /> Ciao.<br /><br />~NM<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rose.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":rose:" title="Rose" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I was SO rested when I finally got up at nine this morning, so I already know it would be a productive day.<br /><br />So then, I got a lot of homework done and all that jazz. Then, practiced guitar. Tried playing the "The Star-Spangled Banner" like Jimi Hendrix. It wasn't too hard, so then I tried it with my teeth. <br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dohtwo.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":dohtwo:" title="Doh II" /> That hurt.<br /><br />I want to learn some Dylan, but I can't find any faithful sheets for his electric stuff (I have only an electric <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> So much for a raw "It Ain't Me Babe"). If anyone knows anything, please send it as a note or a link or SOMETHING! <br /><br />Thank you very much for waiting for waiting for new uploads from me (if you are...haha, I am so sure you have better things to wait for), and I will do it soon. My camera desperately needs charging, and then I will take pix of some new sketches and upload some new photos as well. Thank you, and goodnight!<br /><br />~NM<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rose.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":rose:" title="Rose" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There is so much talk about the possibility of no school tomorrow that I can't stand it any longer!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /> I wish that right now I could be sure that no homework is necessary for me to do (instead of writing this journal), and then I could go watch that total lunar eclipse that the news is making such a big deal about...<br /><br />Or at least attempt to see it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />. The sky is about 99.9999% impossible to see during this day-long snowstorm.<br /><br />For the moment, I am quite <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/snowflake.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":snowflake:" title="Snowflake" />snowed<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/snowflake.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":snowflake:" title="Snowflake" /> in. Being that the conditions have been the same since before 5 this morning, I'm appalled that we even had school today! The roads are just terrible here, with more than 90 accidents on roadways all around <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eyepopping.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":eyepopping:" title="Eyepopping" />. Makes me so grateful to have gotten around safely <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/floating.gif" width="34" height="15" alt=":floating:" title="Floating" /> today.<br /><br />I guess I will have to get going, as I want to make sure I have everything done for tomorrow, just in case. I even have a self-imposed assignment of sorts <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." />! It all came about when I met this girl yesterday during study hall, and she was really impressed with my drawing <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blushes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":blushes:" title="Blush" />. She requested that I draw her in a certain way, and of course I said yes <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" />. I was thrilled to see her so excited about it, saying that no one had ever drawn her before and stuff <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> I'd hate to disappoint.<br /><br />Well, yep! Off to create that portrait and practice guitar before bed. Goodnight to ya'sall, and God blesshya. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frail.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":frail:" title="Frail" />NM<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frail.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":frail:" title="Frail" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br /><br />To not waste my life COMPLETELY as I watch Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the *cough*terrible*cough*but hilarious*cough* movie with Peter Frampton and the BeeGees), I figured I'd update my journal <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" />. It was a really good day, after all.<br /><br />Today I went to see my boyfriend for a belated Valentine's Day, and we had an excellent time. Went out to eat, watched The Simpsons Movie...it's all good! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> That movie's hilarious <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" />. He also made me very happy by giving me cute and delicious presents--for what, I'll admit, is NOT exactly a Hallmark holiday (<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" />).<br /><br />Then he lent me just about all the Led Zeppelin albums that exist (except II & III, to my knowledge) and his dad was even nice enough to lend me his Joe Cocker Ultimate Collection <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> Thank you! <br /><br />...I guess my interest peaked in Joe Cocker just recently when I heard his version of "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window. It was just awesome; IMHO, a lot better than the Beatles' version. But besides that, my dad upon walking into the room said, "That's the best example of a guy whose face contorts and changes colors when he sings." <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />Power to Passionate Singers!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> They mean what they sing. Too few of them exist nowadays.<br /><br />Now here I am, importing all the new stuff to my iTunes and trying not to wake everyone up with click-clacking keyboard noise <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/typerhappy.gif" width="31" height="17" alt=":typerhappy:" title="OMG MOAR POEMS!" />. *Shhh!*<br /><br />I've been sketching a lot lately; hope to post newbies tomorrow! Yep!<br /><br />G'night <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sleep.gif" width="38" height="22" alt=":sleep:" title="Sleep" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frail.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":frail:" title="Frail" />NM<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frail.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":frail:" title="Frail" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, Happy Hallmark Day to all you sappy couples out there!! (As for my special someone, he probably considers us very lovey-dovey as well...all I can say is, don't push it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sarcasm.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":sarcasm:" title="Hahahahaha. No." /> And I Love You So Much <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smooch.gif" width="35" height="16" alt=":smooch:" title="Smooooch!" />.) Oh, If only I could see him...! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br /><br />As I make fun of all those sickeningly sweet couples out there, I wear the beautiful red scarf that my boyfriend knitted me for Christmas about two years ago now and work on FINALLY posting new things! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t!:" title="w00t!" /> I'm so sorry, all...I really tried to post on Sunday, but too many technical difficulties prevented me from doing so. Dontcha just love technology? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crash.gif" width="35" height="30" alt=":crash:" title="Crash" />!!! *reeks of sarcasm*<br /><br />I plan on posting some couples pictures later tonight...some of them rather surprising additions to my gallery, perhaps? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" />! I hope you like!<br /><br />It seems that I'll be at work in an hour. Can't boyfriends and girlfriends find time for just each other anymore? It's bad enough we have so much distance between us. Oh well. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br /><br />Since I gotta get going, I wish you all a great holiday weekend and thank you so much for reading! <br /><br />~NagareboshiMarie<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/roseblack.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":blackrose:" title="Black Rose" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Basically, it's just very late and I felt like updating my journal so that that previous depressing message isn't up there for decades to come. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/whew.gif" width="25" height="17" alt=":phew:" title="Phew!" /> What a mouthful<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />!<br /><br />This week has been busy as far as school goes, though next week I have a lot going on *after* school--Japanese Club, two Japan Bowl meets, and my Creative Writers Club. I also have to sign up for an AP Test and the SAT (<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/ohnoes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":ohnoes:" title="Oh Noes!" />)!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/ninjameditate.gif" width="22" height="24" alt=":meditate:" title="Ninja meditate before battle..." /> Har Harray Haree, Wah Hey Guru. ("Prosperity and Peace are with me." It's one of my favorite mantras.)<br /><br />Actually, I just wrote about yoga especially for an essay on peace that I turned in. As my friends can attest to, it is quite the lengthy read...at six pages <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/doh.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":doh:" title="Doh!" />! Isn't that terrible?! >.< Ah well. Let's just hope my teacher does not fall asleep. I did my very best not to be preachy, because that's just not my style <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />-*<br /><br />Well, to close up, I guess I'll tell everyone out there that I am planning on posting up some new stuff by Sunday night. i just finished talking to my lovely boyfriend, and he is nice enough to let me use his scanner (<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smooch.gif" width="35" height="16" alt=":smooch:" title="Smooooch!" /> Thank you<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />~!), as mine is in dire need of an adapter (still...) and my father's is a piece o' crap. <br /><br />Thank ya very much, everyone! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /> I don't know if you are up for some new stuff of mine, but I am rather happy that I have been drawing a lot lately myself. I hope you like at least one new work; I would be so flattered.<br /><br />A big hug of gratitude to all who read my rambles! *Hug-->* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> Sayounara.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frail.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":frail:" title="Frail" />NagareboshiMarie<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frail.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":frail:" title="Frail" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been here at home coughing and sneezing for three days now. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /> Who knew that Monday's coughing fits would turn into a temperature and utter sleepiness? *Sigh* Oh well. While I'm doing my homework (which I'm sure will be bestowed on me tenfold once I get my butt back to school...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" />), I figure I'll upload some more stuff to dA <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/deviation.gif" width="32" height="18" alt=":deviation:" title="Deviation love" />! <br /><br />Most of it's pretty darn old, by at least a year, but I've been going crazy with the <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/camera.gif" width="15" height="20" alt=":camera:" title="Camera" />digital camera<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/camera.gif" width="15" height="20" alt=":camera:" title="Camera" /> lately and also have some new nature photos. It seems odd that as much as I love to draw people and how fascinated I am by the human figure, my nature photos abound WAAAAAAY more than any pictures of peeps <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Weird...<br /><br />Anyways! Why do I always type so much in these things?! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blahblah.gif" width="37" height="15" alt=":blahblah:" title="You talk too much!" /> Surely you just want to look at my artwork if you're here...if only to make you feel like an infinitely more talented artist afterwards <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /> Haha. Well, thanks for reading!

                <description><![CDATA[ Today I visited my boyfriend, Sean, for the first time in three or four weeks... I forget, but it's been too long in any case...<br />
<br />
(We have a long-distance relationship, but hey! It's worked out for about two years now <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/date.gif" width="36" height="22" alt=":date:" title="Date" />!) <br />
<br />
We went to a roller rink, and it was awesome <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" />! I'm glad I went...even though my knees are dyed all sorts of lovely colors because I fell so much during the first half-hour <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dohtwo.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":dohtwo:" title="Doh II" />. Seriously, I need to do that sort of thing more often than once every...oh, three or four years. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
Well, afterwards, I went over to Sean's house and I made a Mii for me on his new Wii!! I ended up naming it my real name after I first tried to name it "Crap" (he wouldn't let me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/laughing.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":laughing:" title="Laughing" />). But it is really funny in an immature way when you do that--I named my Pokemon trainer that once, and whenever someone like the Professor would happen to see him, a little exclamation mark would appear above his head and he'd say "OH! CRAP! Thank goodness you're here!" <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" /><br />
<br />
...I really am an idiot <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bucktooth.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bucktooth:" title="Bucktooth" />!...<br />
<br />
So then Sean got his revenge by kicking my butt in every Wii Sports game we played (my fave is probably Wii baseball <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />). Then I pretty much had to head on home, and I'm feeling all sucky now. <br />
<br />
I already miss him so much...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br />
<br />
*Sigh* Well, let's hope I have nothing due for English tomorrow. I feel guilty having left my grammar book in my locker <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rage.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":rage:" title="Rage" />, but my mom says not to sweat it because I've been working so hard for finals recently and deserve a break. Fine by me! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cool.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="B-)" title="B-) (Cool)" /> This was a very fun way to end the weekend, anyway.<br />
<br />
Have fun, everyone! And put up cool new stuff for me to see on dA~!<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, here I am, at 1:30 AM, trying to get myself to get even a LEETLE bit tired. I've turned to reading, I've turned to yoga, and I've turned to drawing. None worked. *Sigh...*<br />
So, I've decided<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/i/idea.gif" width="15" height="32" alt=":idea:" title="Idea" />! Typing out a journal entry might make me feel that my day was complete, ergo, I might fall asleep. This is pretty much a bullcrap journal entry, as today was pretty plain. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Sorry 'bout that...<br />
<br />
(You know, I just realized that my restlessness might be caused by the eternally funky and amusing song I'm listening to + the dang good mint chocolate M&M's...yeah...)<br />
<br />
Well, today I sketched stuff, read my new issue of Rolling Stone (officially the most biased and also the most fun-to-read magazine I know <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />), and then went for a walk to take some pictures in the freezing cold<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/snowflake.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":snowflake:" title="Snowflake" />. Then my mom made me come back in because she thought I was a complete idiot going out at -5 degrees.<br />
<br />
I got back from babysitting at about 10:45. They oddly enough were perfectly happy watching <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tmnt1.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":tmnt1:" title="Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tmnt2.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":tmnt2:" title="Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" />TMNT<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tmnt3.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":tmnt3:" title="Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tmnt4.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":tmnt4:" title="Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" />, so it turned out to be quite easy today. I was shocked and grateful(!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/whew.gif" width="25" height="17" alt=":phew:" title="Phew!" />), feeling pretty mellow after that.<br />
<br />
And so how'd I get completely hyper? I shall blame it on Mick Jagger singing "WHEN YOU'RE OOOOOOOOOOLD/ WHEN YOU'RE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD/ NOBODY WILL KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!"<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/laughing.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":laughing:" title="Laughing" /> *Turns off iTunes*<br />
<br />
...Hopefully, now I will be able to get some sleep. Goodnight, everyone.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I faced the last of my (tough) finals today!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /><br />
<br />
So after school today, as a sort of "relief get-together," I went with Kiriko to a friend's house and we made ourselves some okonomiyaki and misoshure to eat. Ohhh....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> Delicious. We also baked cookies<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cookie.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":cookie:" title="Cookie" />, and talking with some friends for free time was a blast. It was great; really lifted me up <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/airborne.gif" width="49" height="36" alt=":airborne:" title="Airborne" />.<br />
<br />
I want to post some art realllly soon, but haven't been doing anything like that in "study machine" mode. I have some things that I've abandoned for a while, though, and will soon finish those and post them. I'm sorry if I'm not consistent enough with uploads!<br />
<br />
One last thing: if anyone has seen the movie *Enchanted*, could you tell me what you thought about it? I like to hear peoples' opinions firsthand, not ones created for audiences like critics' reviews and stuff. I've been watching the animated sequence for a while now on YouTube, and it's beautiful! Not to mention that the music is, too. Thank you!<br />
<br />
Goodnight, all <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sleep.gif" width="38" height="22" alt=":sleep:" title="Sleep" />~<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I can't stand it!! I've been studying so much I feel like my head will fall off!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> I must admit, I am a very neurotic student. Eternally consumed with worry for my classes <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I'm just sitting here, taking a break, as I canNOT concentrate with my sisters blasting the volume on the television in the next room while watching the movie Charlie's Angels. I never did like that movie...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bleh.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bleh:" title="Bleh" /><br />
<br />
I plan on posting something in a couple minutes. I hope you will all like it, as the style is a little different from what I usually do.<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading this, and have an awesome rest of the weekend! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />

P.S.- Has anyone besides me initially thought that "Real Love" by the Beatles didn't even SOUND like the Beatles at first? Granted, it's all based around a demo tape of John's, and the remaining Beatles were like forty years older at the time of recording. I still really, really love it. The Anthology version is so poppy!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hurrah! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> My internet is back up. I've been shuffling around and using everyone ELSE's computers for a while now, so I'm grateful that my dad figured out how to get this thing back up and running. I am really unlucky when it comes to technology; not *exactly* technologically impaired, but amateur and unfortunate <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />. I've also been thinking about how scary it is that I get so down when I can't access the web <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/omg.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":omg:" title="OMG" />! The world truly is becoming reliant on impersonal things. (In my defense, I use it for my classes, too...but still!! I respect the Amish more and more every day <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" />.)<br />
<br />
I basically have been studying, and have finished a new picture that I plan to post when I have a scanner to use <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> (It never ends, does it? The problems with technology, I mean). I want to post that one and the one I'm currently drawing *together*, though. They're both of musicians with the ones they love(d) <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />...lol. Bob Dylan with Suze Rotolo (who's on the cover of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan) and, of course, George Harrison and Pattie Boyd. I actually love Joan Baez more than Suze, but Suze was so cute<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />. <br />
<br />
As for George and Pattie, I just love the look of them together, and I still believe that George was much better for Pattie than Eric was. (Don't get me wrong, Clapton fans!! He rocks, too.) Besides, George is my boyfriend's favorite Beatle. I'll dedicate this to him.<br />
<br />
***If you're reading this, you KNOW that in your heart you realize John's the best!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":mwahaha:" title="Mwahahahahahahaha!" />***<br />
<br />
There aren't many pictures on dA of them as a couple anyway, so yeah. It will be uploaded soon! Please look out for the both of the pictures!<br />
<br />
Well, enough of me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blahblah.gif" width="37" height="15" alt=":blahblah:" title="You talk too much!" /> Thanks for reading! Be cool <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cool.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="B-)" title="B-) (Cool)" />-*<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Here I am, sitting at my father's computer <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/typerhappy.gif" width="31" height="17" alt=":typerhappy:" title="OMG MOAR POEMS!" /> (which cannot type in Japanese <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" />), finally updating my journal. I hope that all you who are reading this have had an awesome vacation, & if you don't celebrate any holidays<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/holidays.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":holly:" title="Holidays" /> around this time of year or don't even get a break, I hope you've been just fine all the same <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
My break started out with homework <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />, but quickly turned into a holiday extravaganza! I prepared for and went to two different parties on Christmas Eve, and then to Mass. My brother did a reading, and he did it so well! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/clap.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":clap:" title="Clap" /> I'm very proud of him.<br />
<br />
On Christmas Day, of course, I got so many excellent gifts--even the peace jewelry that I wanted but was so hard to find! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> Thank you, Mom & Dad! Thank you, my Sweetheart <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /> More importantly than that, though, was that Christmas Day was a really lovely time. At night we played Mad Gab (crazy board game @_@) and I listened to my new Shiina Ringo CD!! (Okay, so it's Toukyou Jihen, but it ROCKED! Thank you, Kiriko! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" />)<br />
<br />
Two days afterward, we went to visit my dad's side of the family. I exchanged presents with everyone up there, and also took pictures with my new digital <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/camera.gif" width="15" height="20" alt=":camera:" title="Camera" /> of a wicked snowball war between my brother, sisters, and cousins <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> It was great, and there was so much snow. It made for really pretty scenery. We also did "Snow Sumou" <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" />, a personal favorite activity of mine now.<br />
<br />
On New Year's Eve, I went ice skating for the first time in about four years. I really enjoyed it, and it was easier than I thought it would be to "return to the ice" <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /> Then, a couple days ago, I visited my aunt and uncle. We actually ushered for the Blue Man Group, and then got to see the show for free <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/omg.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":omg:" title="OMG" />! It was my first time. I <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />'d it, and became insanely jealous of their mad percussion skills. I play piano, flute, and steel drum myself (none of them well, believe me), and I can bullcrap the harmonica to some Beatles and Dylan. So, I'm okay I guess <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
Now, it's time to crack down on STUDYING for FINALS <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/omfg.gif" width="15" height="20" alt=":omfg:" title="omfg" />!!!!!<br />
<br />
I'd really like to thank everyone who has commented so helpfully and kindly on the artwork that I've posted. I had no idea that anyone would even look at my page, so I'm eternally grateful. Being that I'm relatively new on this site, it's really awesome to meet new, REALLY cool artists and be able to get inspiration and encouragement from them! A big <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> to y'all! <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)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Well, reply back and tell me how you've been or just whatever. Keep being creative!!<br />
