                <description><![CDATA[ Sweet babies! I finally finished that a-cursed essay. -_- A weight has been lifted off of my shoulders, which means it's time for more art!<br /><br />So pretty much, I'm open for art trades. This is just something lighthearted, not to be taken too seriously. It can be a sketch trade, a lineart trade, or all out full color. I'm also cool with flat color; that's always fun. There's really only one catch; I want my insanely complicated dragon alien girl drawn. Dragon form, human form... either way is fine. I'm -really- hoping to get some artwork done of her harassing Vulcans, which is what she is good at.<br /><br /><br />But... I'm also willing to buy commissions, but be warned that this is nowhere near as lighthearted as the trade. I'll be expecting to see 'in progress' sketches so that you can make changes that I see fit, and will be expecting all the 'little' things to be correct... things that I'd not bat an eyelash at in a trade. Now, I'm not going to say I want her ears to be -exactly- so and so inches long in human form, or that I want her to be -exactly- so and so tall... but if you draw one too many toes on her dragon form, or if you make her ears mobile when they actually are fixed in place.. or say you don't do her eyes or sensors right, I -will- call you on it. Why am I so picky? Because I'm paying for it. <3<br /><br />So, here's the character. Post here or note me if you are interested in a trade or if you would like to sell me a commission.<br /><br /><a href="http://nako.deviantart.com/art/Riodi-Ref-Sheet-130103472">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <i>Come to a world.. where normalcy can be as fun as the bizarre!</i><br /><br />During 11th Pass in a northern Weyr on the Tillek peninsula, a housing carved out of a great canyon would be home to a slowly growing dragon population, stationed there from it's sister Weyr to help take over some territory that happened to be too far and too wide for a nearby Weyr to include in their territory. For forty years prior to the move, the stone smiths worked diligently to make it into a working Weyr, making it a part of their home as they did. When the move finally came, many of the Smiths left, but a group stayed behind to oversee the finishing of certain projects within the stone walls. Many of these people were wherhandlers, and they still live within a southern alcove of the Weyr, only coming out at night when the traffic of people is low to resume their work. <br /><br />Other than the renovation of the canyon, Kharasi is a struggling Weyr with small numbers that is often supplemented with their Sister Weyr's dragons for threadfall. After a few clutches though, this should change dramatically. After a long 3 turns of not rising, the queen finally took flight and was caught by bronze Behemath. They made a fine clutch of 23 eggs, but no queen egg. It is hoped that this next flight will have more luck.On top of strain of dragon numbers, Kharasi deals with corruption from one of its Holds, Thyra. They often go into lapses of shirking their tithes, but a recent skirmish has put them in line.. for now.<br /><br />Kharasi is a Weyr that is mostly canon. Dragon sizes have been revised to a slightly more.. believable scale, and it is believed that between the 9th and 11th Pass of breeding large dragons, the difference in sizes between the colors shrank a bit. Greens are still dwarfed by bronzes and golds, but now it doesn't look like the bronze might be able to -kill- a green just by flying her. Other stipulations in the size is that browns are now more apt to fly queens, and have a better chance than they did 2 Passes ago. <br /><br />Also, though bronze and queenriders have to remain heterosexual, the sexuality of brown to greenriders is not  considered a bit deal. There can be straight male greenriders and straight female blueriders. Because of browns being able to fly golds, we do not allow female brownriders. Also, strictly homosexual brownriders will almost never ride a brown that is interested in golds. This is to provide leniency in rp, but uphold to some traditions so that it doesn't get too... warped.<br /><br />Some considerations from Todd McCaffrey's books, but this is restricted, and implemented only in that whers are also used for mining and stonecrafting of creating new Weyrs. They see in heat and in some moderate ability, luminous light, so glows are uncomfortable but will not send them screaming in pain. They cannot fly, and DO NOT eat thread. They have a keen sense of smell and can find 'bad air'. Their intelligence is better than a firelizard, but they cannot mindspeak at all.<br /><br />Overall, we are a simple little Weyr trying to make a good rp with a canon site, but with a few leniencies. We have good, devoted rpers but they are few in number, so please don't be turned away if we do not post often. We are lenient in activity but promote being a very active rper, but we do not want anyone to shirt school or work for the rp. Soon, we may be considering a point system which rewards good rp and posting. This will be for both quality and quantity, and no worries about 'missing out' because very rarely will there be a prize that will be won and then noone else will get. It's not a contest, but merely a way of rewarding rpers. If you rp consistently but not necessarily often, you'll eventually reach those milestones.<br /><br />Iolath will be rising within the next IRL month or so, so we are also accepting bronze and brownrider applications, but only a limited amount! Candidates are always welcome! If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email or an IM, both of which can be found under my profile<br /><br /><a href="http://z6.invisionfree.com/kharasiweyr/index.php">Kharasi Weyr Forums</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Commissions Are Open!!</b><br /><br /><u>FWA Badges::</u> I'm currently taking badge commissions for FWA. With this special offer you can pre-order and pay and pickup at FWA. I'll give you information on how to contact me at the convention and you can pick up your badge. Badge size is usually about the size of an index card or slightly larger. Price: $15<br /><br /><br /><u>Ref Sheets:: </u>I'm having a special where I am making very cheap reference sheets. These are for those that want a reference sheet for people to go by without spending tons of money or having to draw it yourself. I can do slightly different designs:<br /><br />--Two side views (image ususally just flipped and designed to reflect opposite side) three small images (of eyes, closeup of jewelry or facial expressions) <br />--Front/back view: Shows the front and back of a character.. not my favorite to draw but I can probably manage.<br />--One large action image in detail with three small images.<br /><br />Text and simple textured, color of similar background can be done. Complex backgrounds will cost extra. Also if you wish to have specific hex codes then you must either provide them or I will do a base coloring that you will have to approve and I will put the codes on the ref sheet.<br /><br /><i>The Catch::</i> These are ONLY digital and you will not recieve a print, but merely a url to an image that you can save to your computer.<br /><i>The Benefit:: </i> They are only $10!!!!<br /><br /><br /><u>Regular Commissions Open!</u><br /><br />Computer Drawn Images without a print or sketch will be $10 for the time being and you will recieve a url to the image to save to your computer.<br /><br />For other options for normal commissions you will have to contact me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Badge Commissions: Open!!!<br />
<br />
Well, I finished the badges I needed to do, so I'm opening up my commissions to do more! All badges are done on cardstock and then cut out and laminated. My general style is to draw the character then outline them in either marker or color pencil and leave the background white (I'll be cutting them out to shape instead of leaving all that blank space) I'm trying to get a few more commissions finished before I waste gas just going to get three badges laminated.. which is why I'm opening up my commissions! I don't have a scanner, but I have a digital camera which is what I'll be taking pictures of my work with to show you all.<br />
<br />
I work with prismacolor markers and color pencils. I might eventually dabble in acrylics, but for now I need to practice with those before delving into that can of worms. So anyways, they vary in size, typically being at least around your typical index card size but sometimes they end up larger. It's kind of up to the muse as to what happens, so if you want a particular size, please specify. My rate is $15 per badge + shipping but may vary if the character is extremely detailed or if there are multiple characters. Also, I prefer to work with paypal.<br />
<br />
So, just throw a message my way with the information of your character and a general outline of what you'd like your badge to look like and I'll get started ASAP <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
If you are a Tenacious D fan then you will love this movie. If you don't, then fuck you XD It's awesome. The music is awesome. The casting is awesome. It's so alive and animated and it's just absolutely great. The only thing better than the music would be the animated expressions of everyone who plays in this movie.<br />
<br />
I don't even see this as a movie. This shit should be on broadway. This is a masterpiece beyond words, and the devil in this movie makes me moist with his cute demonic underbite XD Awesome. Holy cow, awesome. <br />
<br />
It's not your typical movie. It's just.. awesome. You have to have an appreciation for different types of movies to truly enjoy this, I think. Not only do I love it because I'm a Tenacious D fan, but it is indeed different, and so far I can't find a single thing wrong with it. I could write forever about this movie.. but I must stop XD lol<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Work. Sleep. Homework. Eat. Sleep. Work. Sleep. Homework. Class. Sleep. X_X<br />
<br />
I love my job, I honestly do, but I feel like I have no time for anything any more. I'll just say "I'll do this online stuff tomorrow" and then next thing I notice, it's been a week since I've done anything online. The sad thing, I waste away in front of the computer when I'm not working, eating, doing homework, or sleeping. WHAT am I doing in front of the computer?? Nothing. Staring and wishing I were asleep, but knowing I can't because if I go to sleep then I'll not sleep through the night and be tired the next day.<br />
<br />
How do all you other people with lives cope??? x_x<br />
<br />
Ugh, and I can't change my darn emoticon for some reason. It frustrates me. Oh, and I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. My kidneys hate me, and it seems like they've had enough. Hopefully they can give me something to clear up this whole pissing acid ordeal. <br />
<br />
Okay.. I've lost the brain function to say much else XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have the most persistant stomach pains, and I feel nauseous as hell. Could it be food poisoning AGAIN??? I -can't- be having this bad of luck. There's gotta be something wrong with me >_> <br />
<br />
But yeah.. FWA was fun. I have 3 badges to finish. I just hope I can find the time. My boss called me while out of town stating it was urgent. I didn't get home till 9pm and called him 3 times, left a message.. and he never got back to me. That has me nervous, but there's no way I can come into work tomorrow if that's what he was looking for. I have a homework assignment that'll likely be kicking my ass all tomorrow before class. I didn't have time to do it today/sunday because I had to go out of town.. as previously stated. It was.. a hell of a day. Can't decide if it was good or bad.<br />
<br />
Oh, I saw Mr. Obnoxious Man from FWA at Oxford's books and comics <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> Donryu.. Donovan.. one of those names XD He really isn't that obnoxious.. he needs a new nickname. I'm starting to feel bad for calling him names ;_; <br />
<br />
Back to FWA.. it was fun <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> I got badges done by some AWESOME people... skulldog and.. green gryphon lady person... likeshine. Gawd. I'm lucky I can remember my -own- name, much less everyone elses. I plan on getting a hold of a few people for some commissions also, but I'm not going to get into all that until I get everything straightened out with school and the commissions I need to finish. <br />
<br />
BLAAH, I feel terrible. I hope I feel better by tomorrow x_x<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm gonna kill DA XD It gives me a stupid error every time I upload it whether it actually goes through or not. Anyone having trouble with this also? Could it be that it hates firefox?<br />
<br />
Anywho, just uploading a few things. I have so much artwork I need to catch up on it's not even funny x_x<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanksgiving is soon, and I'm going to visit the family. I moved in early Summer and the family is obviously still not happy with me. My excuse was better schools and better jobs (which there is some truth in that) but mostly it was just to get away from that small town and all it's bullshit, and them. I have a lot of reasons, and I doubt you guys want to know all the nitty gritty about my personal life, so let's just say Thanksgiving is going to be.. interesting. As usual, Thomas (my boyfriend who I moved in with) is going to be my meat shield so they won't tear me apart like a pack of rabid wolves.<br />
<br />
But hey, I'm willing to brave the pack for dressing, and collard greens <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> So yeah.. wish me luck, guys XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Oh Gawd. My Tablet.. died. <br />
<br />
<br />
So, I'm opening up con badge commissions, on your typical little lineless card thingy, inked and colored in prismacolor markers and/or pencils. <br />
<br />
Regular size Badge-- $8 (this includes cold press lamination and a little clippie thingie)<br />
<br />
Large size Badge -- $12 (from the hip up or full body, drawn on cardstock and cut out to shape and laminated)<br />
<br />
<br />
If I need to do special shipping not in an envelope, it will be added to the cost. I'd imagine they'd be fine in an envelope. I prefer paypal but snail mail is accepted also. I also do full size commissions, but you'll have to message me about those <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Feel free to contact me via message or AIM ]]></description>

<br />
(One must tell me which resolutions they would like.)</b><br />
<br />
Sketches: $15<br />
Includes finished pencil sketch picture and a computer ink print, shipped in a stiff mailer.<br />
<br />
<br />
CG Color: $25<br />
Includes finished pencil sketch, a color print, and cd. Work on CD will include a sketch, an ink (computer inked), and a color.<br />
<br />
Ask about multiple characters and backgrounds ^_^ <br />
<br />
<b>BIG ASS DISCLAIMER!!!!11one!!1eleven!::::</b> Just to cover my tail about certain things.. prices do have the chance to vary from my current prices. Drawing a simple fox holding a coffee mug in a robe may be a nice, simple image, but if your character has like... 20 tails, very complex markings and very specific things about them that needs a lot of detail, it might end up costing more.. sometimes quite a bit more. <br />
<br />
Also, my prices are indeed negotiable. I also do strictly digital works that I can send via email that you can print yourselves that will be much cheaper ^_^ If you have questions, honestly, just ask. I'm very flexible.<br />

<b><u> My Do's and Dont's of Artlyness</u></b><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I've realized a few things...  I've become a hermit o.o Anything that  involves socialization, I strangely  avoid. I'm distant to my RL friends,  I'm distant in my rp forums.. I'm even  distant to the people that IM me. I'm  finding it more and more difficult to  carry on conversation of any sort,  which also involves writing up RP  posts. Tedious things such as replying  to comments, or even leaving comments  seem to take great effort. Things that  make me feel I have to finish something  also just seems to make me feel  stressed. I wanna just go and lie down,  but I know I have things to do. *sigh*  maybe it's just because of my  completely whack sleep schedule.. Or  maybe it's because I've been with so  little social contact for so long that  I've become accustomed to it. Whatever  it is.. it's making things very  difficult, and I'm feeling like more of  a pathetic bum that does absolutely  nothing as the days go by. It seems it  only gets worse, never better.  Sometimes I think it's gotten better  because I wake up at 4 in the afternoon  instead of 6 or 7, but in fact it just  goes back to the same way the next day.  I feel like I have a million things to  do, and in a way I do because I have so  many things I plan on doing, but in  truth probably only 2 or 3 of those  things are really worth stressing over.  For all you people who have noticed  this.. don't worry. I'll snap out of it  eventually. <br />
<br />
On a happier note.. OMG LOOK AT ALL  THIS STUFF I UPLOADED!!! Well, you all  wanted to see more, so I gave you more <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />  Don't expect a splurge of art like  again for quite a while. My brain is  melted. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, I'm still alive. I just haven't  been very active on DA very much. =/ I  got all kinds of rp stuff and other  things going on so I've been kinda  distracted. Ah well. I've been drawing  a lot lately... I just haven't scanned  it all in ;_; hopefully I'll get to  that on a later date though. I've still  got a few things from Furry Weekend  Atlanta to scan in, which was last  month X_x<br />

On other notes, I'm currently feeling  swamped with things even though there's  really nothing too serious for me to  do. I want to draw so many things but I  just... can't get it out there. Oh  well. I'm gonna work on some of my Pern  characters to give people references.   Woot, well off I go to do just that...  hopefully.<br />

Some shaky times in my lovelife.  It's  not like dangerous 'I'm not gonna talk  to you anymore' kinda shaky, it's just  some insecurities that I'll have to get  over.  Have you ever just loved someone  so much that you go beyond your own  logic and make yourself look like a  complete hypocrite?  Yeah.  I almost  wish I could let go just to prove to  myself that I can... but it's hard.   Sure, I can put on a happy face, act  like it doesn't bother me... but ever  since that dream, that remembrance of  that horrible pain.  I died on the  inside, and it was just a nightmare.  I  don't want to die again.<br />
<br />
A lab monkey presses a button.  They  get shot with about 50,000 volts of  electricity.  That monkey won't wanna  touch that button again.  I got zapped  in that dream, I don't wanna lose him,  and feel that horrible pain again.   Wow... I've told him that he could live  without me.<br />
<br />
<br />
..... Can I live without him?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On a less depressing note... everyone  check out my <a href="http://nako.deviantart.com/journal/3834459/"> Contest!</a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So far, one person has joined the  contest.  Hm... to make it more  interesting, I'll add another genre of  artisticness to it.  <br />
<br />
Poetry, stories, and the like can be  written about my characters.  If you  want to throw Nako in a fantasy  midieval setting, then sure.  If you  wanna write about Nako in a poem, cool.   This will have it's own 1st, 2nd and  3rd place, same prizes as the art  contest (see previous Journal)<br />
<br />
Kagemiyakarasu has been banned from the  contest because if he joined I would  have to put him in 1st place because  he's my snugglebunny and that wouldn't  be fair to everyone else ^_^;  <br />
<br />
He gets enough of my drawings anyways. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Mmk, since I'm poor, I really can't  give anyone cool prizes, but I *Will*  draw the winner something. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  Just tell  me what you want drawn and if it's  within my power, I'll do it.  Okay,  here's what you can do:<br />
<br />
Draw any of my Pernese characters or  dragons (if you know what Pern is)   send me a note if you want to do this  one and I'll send a list of my  characters.<br />
<br />
<br />
Or draw my feline anthro character,  Nako.  She's in my deviantart  somewhere.  She's the orangy haired one  with white fur and black markings ^_^<br />
<br />
<br />
I will have 1st, 2nd and 3rd place  prizes.  <br />
<br />
1st prize will be a full body drawing,  colored, possibly spiffed up on a  computer program. Basically, I'll do my  very best on it.<br />
<br />
2nd:  This really depends on the  complexity of what you want.  No color.   Could be full body or not depending on  what it is.<br />
<br />
3rd.  Possible lineart or sketch.  <br />
<br />
Here's where the cool part comes in!   If you can entrust me not to be some  crazy psycho, I'll send you your  picture to you through the mail!  yay!   Time to go buy postage stamps!  It  depends on where you live, and if it  costs a heck of a lot more to go  overseas.  X_x  please be gentle!<br />
<br />
They will be graded basically on a  bunch of things, but basically it's  just my personal preference on how much  I like them. o.O  I don't know many  people, and I suspect this contest to  flop, but it would be really cool to  get some people interested <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  <br />
<br />
The deadline is not yet set, but I hope  this won't take longer than a month.<br />
<br />
<b>Edit:::</b>  Poetry, stories, and the like  can be written about my characters. If  you want to throw Nako in a fantasy  midieval setting, then sure. If you  wanna write about Nako in a poem, cool.  This will have it's own 1st, 2nd and  3rd place, same prizes as the art  contest <br />
<br />
Kagemiyakarasu has been banned from the  contest because if he joined I would  have to put him in 1st place because he  gets enough of my drawings anyways.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
<b>Edit, January 12...I think. o.O ::</b>  Yesh, the contest is still up, and will  be up indefinitely until I get people  to actually participate ^_^ ]]></description>

<br />
That, and I have some pictures I must  draw.  I ned to draw something for  Azarath's contest, a pic of a wolfy  dude for some person I met on neopets,  and a whole plethora of half-finished  scribbles that hold the potential to  turn into something somewhat spiffy.  <br />
<br />
I need a scanner.  That would make  everything cool. o.O ]]></description>

<br />
Oh.. I don't think I mentioned that  before, but yeah ^_^  I'm working on a  costume for it.  It looks kinda crappy  as of now, but it's been fun to make  and hopefully I'll have it done by  saturday.  It's gonna be fun, I can't  wait.  <br />

<i>About letting people go.....<br />
<br />
It's hard, by he Moons, I know it is.   All I have to say, is learn to live  without him.  I'm not saying that you  won't have to.. maybe one day it'll  work out or something... maybe.  The  thing is that we have to learn that we  don't need a person in our lives to be  happy.  Only when you find yourself can  you be happy with others.  Confidence,  self-respect, and self-esteem are  things that are vital to make a  well-rounded person, therefore someone  nice to be around in both friendships  and relationships because they have  learned to let go of all the baggage.<br />
Yes, there are people that would still  want to be with you, but you don't want  them to be with you because they *need*  someone with low confidence and self  esteem so that you will be clingy and  make them feel special.  That means  that they have issues of their own.   You also don't want someone dating you  because they want to make you feel  better and heal your wounds.  Only you  can mend the gashes of your own hurt,  and only then can you look to others  with a strong and open mind and be  truly happy.</i> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, on one note, it seems my computer  hasn't died, and so far it hasn't done  the stupid freezing up thing again.  <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On another note, I'll talk about my  current feelings in a vague, confusing  manner that is responding to happenings  in my life that won't be fully  addressed.<br />
<br />
Well Karasu-koi, I suppose you know who  your real friends are now?  Honestly..  why would someone turn their back on  you because you want to love and be  loved?  Oh well, there is no joy in  being protected by a psycho.  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My brother put a virus on the computer.   Every few minutes it freezes up and  the only way to get it unfroze is to  press ctrl, alt, delete until it jarrs  it unfrozen.  Then I have to deal with  a teeth-achingly slow computer until it  decides to freeze once again.  <br />
<br />
That also means that I can't do any  more art.  I can't work on something  for 2+ hours on PSP when I have to hold  down the ctrl, alt, delete thing for 30  seconds to a minute for it to work  again.  <br />
<br />
Blame it on my brother, and for those  that have my number, please call me.   I'm almost always at home, and now that  I prolly won't have a computer for  another month or so I'll have even less  to do until I get some sort of social  life.  <br />
<br />
Peace, and don't have too much fun  without me.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Don't tell me who I love.  <br />
<br />
You don't have to want to spend every  second of every day with a person to  prove you love them.<br />
<br />
Just because you don't date a person  because you can't see them often  doesn't mean you don' t love them<br />
<br />
Just because you want to see other  people because you are 18 fucking years  old and wanna enjoy going out on dates  with people before settling down in a  lasting relationship doesn't mean you  don't love them.<br />
<br />
Just because I don't pity and croon  over him because he's had a bad past  doesn't mean I don't love him.  <br />
<br />
Just because I tell him he can get over  his pain and not dwell on it doesn't  mean I don't love him.<br />
<br />
Just because I tell him he can live  without me, doesn't mean I don't love  him.<br />
<br />
Just because I want him to focus on  building himself up, making good grades  in school, and learn NOT to use me for  a crutch or a lifeline, doesn't mean I  don't love him.  <br />
<br />
<br />
If we both had secure lives, with  transportation and able to support  ourselves, I'd fucking marry him.<br />
<br />
<br />
I love him.  Fuck you guys who don't  believe me.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm sick with he cold, but I'm sorta  alive.  Once I can get a stable means  of getting pictures online and spiffed  up I'll start updating again.  I miss  my spiffy PSP.  *sigh*  <br />
<br />
Well, life goes on and things happen.   Broke up with Karasu because I wanted  to be free to date and go out with  people and have fun without feeling  guilty.  Well, I haven't given a glance  to anyone at all.  Heh, sometimes even  *I* wonder why I broke up with him at  all.  <br />
<br />
Then I realize that it was because I  have things I need to work out, and he  has things that he needs to work out.   Well, with neither of us able to drive,  and with him not even having his  learner's license, it's a really  pathetic situation.  Maybe later on  when we've both got transportation and  a stable way of seeing each other, it  can work out.  <br />
<br />
Dunno, it's quite demoralizing when you  aren't able to have any special time  with your sweetheart.  All lovey-dovey  make-out sessions end up taking place  in rather pathetic, yet cliche, places.   (i.e. Walmart parking lots in the back  seat of -someone elses- car, lakes,  corn fields..)  Yeah, I'm pathetic.   Then again, I don't really give a shit  any more.  Call me a whore?  Why don't  you go bash on someone else's head,  like a certain someone who blows her  boyfriend off in the bathroom just to  get him away from his friends, who are  waiting upstairs wondering where the  fuck the two of em went.  At least I  have 'some' pride. <br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, it might be a LONG time till I  can upload some artwork, and if I do,  it'll most likely only be a digital  picture, untampered with, because I  have to use my dad's computer and it  doesn't have all of my snazzy little  programs.<br />
<br />
Oh well, once we get a new monitor and  make sure the motherboard on the  computer isn't fried, I think it'll all  be spiffy, and I'll be able to upload  things once again.<br />

eeeh... this medication makes me feel  funny....<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Woot!  I've been drawing all day, and I  was able to get 3 things drawn.  I've  still got tons to do, but most of the  stuff I need to do, I don't wanna do.   o.O  Oh well, I'll get to all the  obligatory stuff later.  <br />
<br />
I'm now plotting, trying to figure out  how I'm going to draw Karasu's  character for the LARP.  He'll most  likely look like his kitty form, but we  are gonna have some fun and put random  stripes on him.  *evil grin*<br />
<br />
Candy canes....<br />
<br />
WHAT!  I'm gonna put rings on his tail,  you perv.  *shifty glance*  <br />
<br />
Hehe, well, I'm off to go draw.. or  stare at a wall, or something.  <br />
<br />
CHEEZ!, and much lurves for Karasu-koi<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I was supposedly not allowed to  go anywhere for a LONG time, which  explains exactly why I went to battle  testing for a LARP (live action rp for  those who don't know what that means)  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  heki heki nagara mehrr.  <br />
<br />
Well, anyways, the spiffy thing is that  Karasu got to come with me ^_^  woot  woot.  I got to run around and cast  healing spells.  Twas fun, but I'm  thinking of creating a bard character  so I can go around and make people  dance. o.o  Yeah, I wanna be a bard.   That would be spiffy.  I'm really  excited about this LARP.  I'm gonna be  a kitty girl (species called feralyn, I  think)  and I'm gonna be dressed all  spiffy, either like a gypsy or in some  other cool looking dress.  I dunno, I  wanna be as scantly clad as possible.   (Gah, pervert, not because I wanna look  like a whore, it's because it's friggin  HOT OUTSIDE!  I thought I was gonna die  out there today x_x )<br />
Of course, no matter how hot it gets, I  wanna have a spiffy cloak.  ^_^   spiffeh!  <br />
<br />
Okay, onto different things.  It was  lots of fun, even though I think Karasu  was too busy worrying about being found  out by his cousins.  (he wasn't  supposed to go anywhere other than  Harrison's house)  but it was all  spiffy because he didn't get caught.   Near time to go he twisted his ankle  though.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  Aiyah, clumsy baka!  <br />
<br />
Ouchie!!! Chest pain... X_x  *throb*   *throb*  *throb*  X_o  ah well it's not  too bad.  I've learned to ignore it.  <br />
<br />
Well anyways, we left about 8 something  or other, and we stayed at Harrison's  house a while.  Jackson, my friend who  drove us around, was enough of a  sweetie to be bored a while.  Well, I  snuggled with Karasu a while,  painted  a woogle ( I think that's what it's  called) on some weird game for  gamecube, and then stuff sorta fell  apart.  <br />
<br />
Karasu got all angsty and depressed, I  wanted to know what was wrong and he  seemed unable to tell me.  He does this  a lot, and it kills me every time he  does it.  I want to help him, but  sometimes I feel that he just won't let  me.  I was beginning to get angry,  thinking this is just his way of  getting attention.  It better not be  that.  I'd be horribly angry if it  were.  Well, needless to say I had to  be direct with him.  I told him I knew  that he knew what was wrong, and that  he needed to tell me.  I basically  wanted to get the point across that I  was tired of feeling so helpless.  <br />
<br />
Well, he told me, and it was basically  what I figured it was.  <br />
<br />
He's afraid I'll leave him, probably  because I've lost interest in so many  guys before.  In a way I can't blame  him;  most of the guys I've dated  recently have been clenching their ass  cheeks about it.  Well, there's a major  difference between them and him though.   When I dated the others, I did so  because I just wanted to date someone.   I wanted to feel loved, appreciated,  and all that jazz.  Well, Karasu comes  along, and everything changes.  <br />
<br />
I've always liked the boy, loved him  for the longest time, but in truth I  didn't think he had the same feelings  back.  In fact the only reason I  was  able to get it out of him was because I  was blind drunk and asking him all  sorts of crazy questions.  I never  thought I'd say this, but YAY FOR  ALCOHOL!  well, as long as it's not in  excess, anyways.  Well, once I was able  to humiliate myself over the phone  while drunk, why the hell can't I when  I'm over the internet?  Well, I asked  questions, probed into his personal  life, got him to open up a little, I  suppose.  Even then though, I didn't  know exactly how he felt.  I continued  feeling in the dark.  Maybe he just  found me attractive, like many other  guys did; just another random female  friend to jack off to occassionally.   Even while I had this feeling of doubt,  I couldn't stop myself.  I was being  pulled in and there was already no  turning back.  My relationship with  Shawn had *been* old, running of fumes  in the tank and sheer boredom.  I don't  know why I stayed with him so long.  I  suppose I was just afraid of being  alone.  Well, I couldn't stand it  anymore, and I finally broke up with  him.  I admit, even when I broke up  with shawn, I had serious doubts that  Karasu's interest would play through.   Still, I threw myself out there.  I  knew I would get hurt if it didn't come  through, but I didn't care anymore.   Karasu was more than worth the risk of  the pain I could possibly have to  endure.  <br />
<br />
By the Moons, I loved him so much!  I  was the first one to say it, mind you.   I have NEVER been the first one to say  it.  EVER.  Of course, I couldn't help  myself.  I was in his spell and there  would <b>never</... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Dunno, yesterday started off a really  bad day, and I knew that something  would probably go wrong.  Well, the  beginning of the day was bad, and the  very end was, but just because the  outsides were a little crusty doesn't  mean the inside was squishy and good.   Well, to  say the least, it was.  I had  a marvelous time; I went to the movies  with Karasu and two of my other  friends, then afterwards, my friends  went into Wal-mart, and Karasu and I  stayed in the car *smiles and sighs*  I  had a really, really good time.<br />
<br />
I came in at 2 in the morning and got  bitched at, but it was oh-so worth it.   Well, being grounded forever isn't, but  she can't keep me grounded for more  than a month  and a day, because I'll  then be 18 and if she gives me a lot of  shit, I'll just up and leave.<br />
<br />
The only thing I regret is that Karasu  is in trouble.  I tried to call, and I  spent about 10 seconds on the phone  before I heard his cousin bitching in  the background, and he had to go.  I  feel really bad about that.  I hate to  see him hurting.<br />
<br />
*sigh*  This is when that loves so much  it hurts sort of thing falls into  place.  Aii... he hurts, I hurt.  <br />
<br />
*winces* I hope that is my own chest  pains and not his.  Aii.... I love him.  *sigh*<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Gosh... Have you ever loved so much  that it hurts?  *sigh*  I dunno, if I  have the slightest inkling that Karasu  is upset, it just kills me.  <br />
<br />
I spent most of the day with him today.   It had to be the number 1, spiffiest  day of my life.  I spent most of the  day playing the SIMS on the PS2 with  Karasu watching and taking over the  controller every now and then (I don't  like 2 player so we just share one  player) so basically we spent from   noon to 5:30 popping kids out like it's  the 50's and seeing what sort of  strange things came of them.  One of  the kids had freaky rock band makeup  that made him look like something out  of kiss.  Our first son, the most  normal one, ended up skipping school  and going to military camp.<br />
<br />
Well, other than raising crazy mental  children, the day was absolutely  PERFECT  Gosh, the details.. I dont  really want to get into them all, but  it was all wonderfully great (not that  the details are bad, Im just  incredibly lazy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> )).  <br />
<br />
I love it when Karasu kisses me.  Its  the most amazing feeling in the world.   Hes very I dont know how to explain  it.  Hes a very strong kisser, very  assertive and aggressive, but he  doesnt hurt me.  Of course, when he  finally pulls away, I feel like he has  just taken my breath away or something,  and it feels like the air is much  lighter and thinner around me and  easier to take in.  Its as if he takes  some of my pain away, some of the  burden so I can breathe easier.  <br />
<br />
We also rolled around a bit on the  floor.  Ya know, when Karasu-koi is  being tickled, his Japanese sounds much  more authentic.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  When hes being  tickled, his voice does this strange  thing where it either goes very low or  high.  Its so cute.  Ai kawaii. ^^  *blushes* <br />
<br />
Oh, but one of the best things was when  we just lay there in each others arms  on the couch.  It all felt just so..  perfect.  Nothing in the world could  have ruined that moment.  The moment  was perfect,  he was perfect,  EVERYTHING was just absolutely,  positively perfect. *croons and purrs*   The only thing I would have changed  would be that we had been alone.  It's  horribly annoying with family figures  looming around and ruining the  lovey-dovey moment.   Oh well, it  really didn't matter that much.  It was  still as perfect as perfect can get.  <br />
<br />
Aii..  I love him.  *blush*<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ *Eats pudding and gives a half-hearted  croon*  Oy... here I sit with my  pudding, and nothing but my pudding.  I  don't have a diploma in my hand because  of one thing;  I tried to fight the  corruption of the school system.  Well,  it's kinda funny when your grade drops  5 points when you tick the teacher off,  then 10 more points when your mom  confronts the assistant principal.  My  mom threatened to sue and it bumped up  a little more, enough for me to go to  credit recovery, but not enough to get  that credit and to walk.  I hate my  school.  It's corrupt, they embezzled  money from school funds and such, the  principal is having an affair with the  vice principal.. oy -_-  that, and they  are LYING.  The SCHOOL SYSTEM is LYING  on me!  Even the school board is in on  it, and here are the principal's exact  words at a council meeting (given to us  straight from a person on the council  that is on our side) "Brandy Morgan  WILL NOT WALK, no matter what"<br />
<br />
Oh, the hole gets deeper for them.  Our  principal made the workers at the  school work on his yard using school  money.  When the workers went to the  school board about it, they were fired.   I hate corruption in the school.  It's  just like the government.  If you don't  jump through their hoops you are as  good as homeless and bankrupt...  without an education *grumble*<br />
<br />
oh well... on a happier note, Karasu  finally asked me out.  He did that  thursday.  *sigh* I fell asleep  yesterday and I think he was wanting to  call me.  The poor dear, I wish mom  would just wake me up when I have a  phone call.  I slept from around 6 pm  to 8 am.  eee... lots of sleep. er...  14 hours or something like that?  I'm  still too sleepy to count right so  forgive me *thinks about taking another  nap*<br />
<br />
*yawn* later<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Aiyah, Karasu-baka frustrates me  sometimes.  T_T<br />
<br />
Ai... He says he loves me.  I can't  help but believe him.  I don't have the  strength not to.<br />
<br />
I dunno, I've never loved like this  before. It's so intense and so deep,  runs straight through my very core.  I  can't deny it, I can't turn away from  it.  I am trapped in it, and I don't  care.  In fact, I think I like it.   It's scary, to say the least.  I'm so  used to having my guard up, constantly  paranoid that they were going to hurt  me.  By the Moons, I just feel like I  can't pull away from it any more!  It's  like he's put a spell on me, pulling me  in and making it so I can't fight back.   I couldn't pull away even if I wanted  to.  Gah.. NAGARA!  I'm setting myself  up to get so very badly hurt.  He could  crush me so easily... <br />
<br />
Oh well, don't worry. I have already  come to the conclusion that I won't  suicide if he completely shuns me.<br />
<br />
*sigh*  He's even hinted that he might  want to marry me someday.  He can tell  me that, but he can't make anything  official and ask me to at least date  him??? What is going on?? X_x I'm  painfully traditional;  I don't ask  boys out, they ask me out, and I told  him if our relationship goes any  further, he would have to find some  balls and ask me if I wish to make if  official and 'go out'<br />
<br />
Well, we'll see what happens tomorrow  *g*<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Later guys, <br />

<br />
Oh well, I can't be angry at him.  He  probably has a reason that I could very  much respect.  Either that, or the  mother-figure isn't catching beeps.  Oh  well.  I'm tired and somewhat burnt  out.  I'd write some long heartfelt  thing about Karasu, but something came  up that has made me horribly pissed  off, so all I can really do is sit here  and be depressed.<br />
<br />
*sigh*  I miss Karasu-koi.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Gosh, I don't even know how to begin to  explain it. *happy sigh*  I dunno, it  wa just one of those days that seemed  that it was gonna be bad, but ended up  being one of the absolute best days of  my life.<br />
<br />
Well, I went to a football game. That  was fun.  I got to go with my cute  little Karasu-koi.  Weee... kissies for  Nako-baka X_x Ee.... he's such a self  concious creature, it's cute <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  of  course, he's having trouble realizing  that I think he's absolutely perfect in  every way.  That's really saying  something, because I'm a pessimistic  bitch that can always find some flaw  that completely annoys me about the  person, usually a physical flaw...  kinda low seeming, I know, but I dunno,  maybe it's just because I didn't care  for them. I mean, the guy can be  gorgeous and there will be a single  miniscule thing that bothers me about  them.  <br />
<br />
Of course, Karasu is just perfect.<br />
<br />
and I don't care what he says, because  he is and he'll just have to get used  to it. >_>  Aiii... he just makes me feel  so.. gosh I can't even explain it.   Aiyah, so nervous, so nervous!  Can't  wait to see him again, can't wait to  see those eyes, hear that laugh, feel  those hugs.. Neeeeyaga... Nako-baka is  in love.  <br />
<br />
Wow.. such a crazy, overwhelming  feeling! <br />
<br />
Gah, but right now I'm tired and I can  hardly think straight so I'll end it  here.<br />
<br />
Ahhen maylen yehn, mehn seuhtah,  Karasu.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ah, well basically, I'm going through a  lot of emotional pain that is making me  go through physical pain as well.  A  friend of mine doesn't like the way I  deal with my pain, found out how I  dealt with it, and got pissed off.  <br />
<br />
I got upset, and when I get really  upset, it's like my throat closes up  and it's hard to breathe and I start  wheezing.  Asthma?  *blink*<br />
<br />
I dunno.  It's crazy.  My breathing  finally cleared up a little, but I  seriously think something is wrong with  me.  It had seemed to have gotten  better, and after school, I was all  excited because I could see Karasu-koi,  but obviously I got too excited and  happy and was completely out of breath  and had to catch my breath because I  couldn't talk any more.  I dunno, I  usually don't tire so easily.  Maybe I  just need to get excersize, eat right,  etc etc.  <br />
<br />
Well, right now I would wish to be numb  except for one thing.  I don't want the  spiffy lurv-ish-ness to go numb with  everything else.  *sigh*  oh well.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, it's sorta crazy.  Lots of  trouble with racism in schools right  now.. grrr... stupid teacher.. but  that's okay, I'll figure something out.<br />
<br />
Lets see.... I owe a few people  drawings...<br />
<br />
kuraofsavernia... I owe a realistic  leotauress...<br />
<br />
Karasu.. I just owe him drawings  because he is godly..<br />
<br />
Xanthin.. I have to draw sparrow for  them.. grr.. this one is going to be  difficult.<br />
<br />
Gah, Karasu-kun is almost more trouble  than he's worth.  *giggle*  basically  all the people from our little  close-knit group of 'friends' is going  back and blabbing to my ex-boyfriend  about Karasu and I making out.. WHICH  WE WEREN'T!  -_-  geh....  I swear,  people assume the craziest things when  one's face is only a few inches from  the other person's face.  *shifty  glance* I'm not too worried about it  though.  Shawn (the ex) got all pissy  but I basically ignored him because he  has been making me angry with his pissy  attitude for a week now.<br />
<br />
Oh well.  I get to like who I like..  right?<br />
<br />
<br />
weee.. some interesting stuff...  usually when I fall in love with  someone I invision a butterfly that  represents my affection for that  person.  The butterfly strangely looks  like a plushie now.  o.O  funny, ne?<br />
<br />
Ah well, I'm hungry and the ramen  noodles are calling my name...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, thanks to a certain somebody  *cough*kagemiyakarasu*cough*  I have  once again started uploading my art.   Well, what can I say?  He inspires meh  ^_^ I hope to put much more art up for  people to see.  Some of the stuff I  want to put up is currently at this  local art gallery thing, but maybe I'll  be able to snap a pic of it with a  digital cam and put it up for you all  to see.<br />

Hrm hrm.. well life has been crazy.   Love is really kinda tossing me around  in this big melodramatic thing..  Damnit, right when I think I've had a  basically drama-less highschool  experience, it all hits me my senior  year.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />  Well, basically I broke up  with Shawn, and I'm now just kinda  riding an emotional roller coaster.   Yeah.. I'm feeling that crazy-go-nuts  kinda lurv-ishness again.  I just hope  this time it doesn't hurt me.<br />
<br />
Well, I'm not gonna go into much  detail, and I've got rping to do,  things to draw, etc.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ It hurts so bad.  I feel sick, I wanna  die, and it's not from the ramen  noodles or the pizza.<br />
<br />
I dunno, I seriously need to get over  this.  I'm in love, bad, horribly so.   It's not meant to be.  I can't tear  myself apart loving someone who doesn't  love me.  I've went through this  before, but why does it hurt so much  more this time around?  <br />
<br />
Pain.. kill me please... <br />
<br />
I hurt... I wanna die<br />
<br />
but then I wanna live, I wanna get over  it but I can't.  Should I just break  off all connections with this guy, or  should I sit around, torturing myself  and keep hoping?  I don't know any  more.  Sometimes it seems he might  actually like me, but then again not.   I hate him.  He's an arrogant bastard  that needs to die but I love him to  death.  College has changed him I  think.  What happened to my little  sweetie from six flags?  He's become  sarcastic, or is this just a reflection  of how I act?  Yes, I act the same way  around a guy that likes me but I don't  like him.  Ouch.  <br />
<br />
Revelation.  Maybe it's fate?  Maybe  this guy that loves me is the one I  need to love?  It would make things a  hell of a lot easier.  Or maybe I  should find someone else entirely?<br />
<br />
What do you all think? ]]></description>

<br />
food:  Ramen noodles and vitamin  suppliments<br />
<br />
bleh.. don't feel good.  I put up a  poem today, and that's about it.  I  don't have energy to do anything else.   I think it's from the lack of  nutrition, hence the need for vitamin  pills.  I realized yesterday that ramen  noodles have very little nutritional  value.  Fuck. <br />
<br />
Oh well, later guys.  <br />
<br />
Peace, <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I really don't know how I feel today.   I'm happy, sad, angry, disgusted,  hating everyone, loving everyone.. then  I sit here and try to figure out what  my primary thought is.. and I'm just  numb except for one thing.<br />
<br />
He's driving me crazy.  The funny thing  is that there isn't just one.  I have  one guy who says he loves me, and this  has been going on since last year.   He's my friend, but I'm beginning to  hate him and detest his very presence  because I can feel and see the lust in  him.  He might love me but the want  that is strong inside him makes me want  to throw up. I won't let him have my  heart, my butterfly<br />
<br />
Another one.  He needs someone to be  there for him because he's had a hard  life.  His mom and dad died leaving him  to live with dumbass cousins.  He had a  girlfriend that made him miserable, and  I reach my arm out to be his friend,  but I sense there is something more.  I  just hope it's a crush that will go  away, because no matter how much I wish  to heal his wounds, I cannot give him  my soul, my butterfly.<br />
<br />
Then there is her.  She wants me more  than the rest, lusts for me so badly I  get sick when she is around.  She hurts  me, not necessarily physically but  there is a pain she puts inside me that  sears so deeply it leaves me... numb.   She'll never have my butterfly<br />
<br />
Then there is one more.  Friend.  The  word echoes in my mind and throws back  everything I have said to my current  stalkers with a force that could only  knock me further down the deep mindless  chasms of the numbness that I cannot  rid myself of.  I gave my butterfly to  him already.  He has my heart and my  soul in the palm of his hands whether  he wants it or not.  Shall I be angry  that he won't have me and run away from  the pain?  No, because the slight singe  of the hearth is far sweeter than the  numbing death of the snow outside. <br />
<br />
With love comes hate, with joy come  sorrow.  It's an intricate see-saw of  emotions balancing upon one's  shoulders,  trying to stay at an  equilibrium so one can walk across the  tight rope of life without falling.   Then again, wouldn't this equilibrium  cause melancholy?  Such blandness  surely can't be right!  Frikk that!   Let us scrape off the hate and sorrow  and go ahead and fall, for a short  scary fall full of happiness is surely  worth the fall.  Who knows, maybe a  safety net will be there to catch me.   I suppose that is the risk we call  life.  No matter which path you take,  whether it be the cautious balanced  walk to the other side to get down to  the ground, or leap down unburdened and  hope someone is there to catch you when  you fall, you will get to the ground  somehow, right?<br />
<br />
Well, I suppose this is enough  philisophical and hypothetical rambling  for today.  Peace out. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I dunno, overall I'm just sad today.  I  broke up with my boyfriend yesterday  for a stupid yet perfectly rational  reason.  Yeah, try to make sense of  that.  heh.  <br />
<br />
I missed him five minutes after saying  I didn't want to be with him any more.    I started listening to some country  music for the first time in about a  year and it just got me all emotional I  guess.  Damnit, I love country! *angsts  and reaches out desperately for Linkin  Park cd*<br />
<br />
So many people love me, why the hell do  I have to fall in love with someone who  I think doesn't love me back?  He  cares, he says.  But he has my  butterfly, my heart and soul.  Dammit  dammit dammit! >_< *angst angst angst* <br />
<br />
*cries*  DAMN YOU STUPID COUNTRY  SONGS... I love em. <br />
<br />
Okay I'll end this now. ]]></description>
