I posted this on my YouTube once I heard it on the website. I just can't stand the fact that after 8 years, it's gonna be over...and worse, it's theoried that Monk's gonna die of poisoning from last week!! I've always loved that OCD detective, and can't deal with knowing there will be no more new episodes...

Those 8 seasons were so short...

And c'mon, people, why can't we make it Monkish?

8 seasons?

Why not 2 more?

Monk would be happier with a perfect 10.

I can't even find a way to describe how I feel...maybe it's confusion...I have no idea if I can manage making an Anime Club for NSCC, I know for certain I can't do my planned idea for Anime Boston [for the artist alley], and who's to say I can even go to Anime Boston this year?! I have no money whatsoever, because it was spent on the costume I WOULD be cosplaying as if I CAN go!! So I lost there too!! I dunno, maybe this is the inevitable college stress I've heard so much about...I shouldn't even stress out this much though...but hey, it's always been how my life worked...

I'm tired...and hungry...I have no cash, or else I'd go to the cafe and buy a sandwich...or at least a drink...no, I gotta wait 2 hours before I can eat anything...

But other than the whole rant there, I've been in a fair/foul mood...got my costume almost all set. I'm cosplaying Miles Edgeworth of Phoenix Wright [because he is my crack] and all I need left is the cravat and the wig, which I will be getting some time this week. I'll have pictures up soon. I made up a new DeviantArt account that I will be using for my Illustrator animations and graphics. I already have a comic up so far. If you want the name of the new account, note me.

Life at home has been...eh...typical. I want out, but I think now that I'm 18 and on a joint lease in the apartment, dad's giving me some more respect. I have a job interview at Macy's tomorrow that I really hope will go well. I NEEEEEEED a job, cause I'm desperate for cash and I will kill myself if I can't afford to go to Anime Boston this year. But I've already been over that.

Sorry for the whole rant here. I just needed to get a few things off my chest that have been bugging me to no end. Maybe I should update my journal more often, so things like this won't happen. x'D

Second, my bf and I kinda stopped...after 9 months. But it's cool, we're still gonna be biffles, and we haven't stopped texting about who's better than who in Mabinogi. ^^

Third, summer's almost over for me, meaning college is coming soon, meaning less updates than I'm already giving. However, there will be more artwork posted. I'm working on a lil experiment now anyway. I'm making my own brand of monsters inspired by the movie 9 and Imogen Heap's song Canvas.

Yeah, that's about it for now. n.n

* The person playing Yertle the Turtle has not been decided, because the person set for the cast call cannot hit the low notes required and has previous obligations that will clash with rehearsals. One of the Wickershams may be moved to become Yertle.

1: Shakeda
2: Karya
3: Mitrake
4: Donna
5: Ronnie
6: Kaitlyn
7: Criss Angel
8: Johnny Depp
9: Idina Menzel
10: Dane Cook


1) 4 invites 3 and 8 to dinner at their house. What happens?
It may be hard for them to get there, but Mitrake relaxes on the couch while Johnny is idolized by Donna for his awesomness.

2) 9 tries to get 5 to go to a strip club.
They'd both dig it and possibly make obscene yet appropriate comments.

3) You need to stay at a friends house for the night. Do you choose 1 or 6?
I always go to Kaitlyn's, so I'll give Shakeda a shot, since she is technically a cooler me.

4) 2 and 7 are making out. 10 walks in...Their reaction?
Dane: Wow, now this is some magic act!
Criss: -performs some awesome illusion behind Karya's head-
Karya: -is constantly watched over by her Angel Guards-

5) 3 falls in love with 6. 8 is jealous. What happens?
He goes back with Vanessa where he's meant to be.

6) 4 jumps you in a dark allyway. Who comes to your rescue? 10,2 or 7?
I don't think Donna would ever do that...o.o...but if she does, it better as hell be Criss, cause Dane would just do stand-up about seeing it, and Karya would have her Angel Guards "attack" her...which would be kinda funny.

7) 1 decides to start a cooking show. 15 minetes later what is happening?
Everyone is watching, cause she's the greatest cook in her family, but the show won't have many episodes, due to her possible amount of sick days.

8) 5 is in a car crash and is critictly injured. What does 9 do?
Rush to her rescue, if she knows her, and tries cheering her up in recovery through singing songs from RENT and Wicked, as well as from I Stand.



9) 3 has to marry either 8,4 or 9. Who do they chose?
Mitrake would end up choosing Donna because 1, the other two are married, and 2, Donna would be the best of the three.

10) 7 kidnaps 2 and demands something from 5 for 2's release. What is it?
Criss? o.O Well, he'd want Ronnie's cats to befriend with Hammy.

11) You get to meet either 1 or 6. Who do you chose?
I already know 6, so Shakeda. Man, that would be kick ass to meet her!

12) 10 challenges 4 to a chariot race. Why?
Because they're both crazy like that, although skilled.

13) Everyone gangs up on 3. Does 3 have a chance in hell?
HELL YES! SHE'S A F*CKING HOMONCULUS WITH ELECTRICITY ALCHEMY!!!

14) Everyone is invite to 2 and 10 wedding except for 8. How do they react?
He doesn't mind much, but still sends a best wishes card.

15) Why is 6 afraid of 7?
She's not afraid of anything...except maybe getting her arm sawed off or something.

16) 10 gathers everyone around to tell them a fairy tale. How does it go?
A few B&E's, some pickles, some sex scenes and to end, a man screaming, "I DID MY BEST!!!"

17) 1 arrives late for 2 and 10's wedding. What happens? And why are they late?
They act like nothing happened, and she was late trying to convince Watanuki she's 'well enough to go'.

18) 5 and 9 get roaring drunk and end up at your house. What happends?
A LOT of groping, singing and mooing.

19) 3,8,6 and 4 all go to the zoo for 8's brithday party. How does it go? What presents do they get 8?
Everyone, especially Mitrake enjoys it. Mitrake gets him a compass that works, Donna gets him a living pet dog, and Kaitlyn makes him a pie.

20) Everyone gets together and start protesting something outside of your house. What are they protesting? What do you do?
Pretty much to get out of my house and finally feel free from stressing anymore. I'm hesitant for a moment, but then join them and love them forever!



21) 9 murders 2 best friend. What does 2 do to get back at them?
Send her father, King Lior's Angel Minions after her.

22) 6 and 1 are in mortal danger. Only one of them can survive. Does 6 save themself or 1?
They both live. They both come up with clever ways to get out of danger, whether it's sneaking out or beating everyone up until they get out safely.

23) Which one of them is most likely to fail at life?
None of them. Just by existing, they're winning.

24) 5 is trapped in a cave. 10 comes to rescue them. What happens?
Ronnie ends up trying to save Dane, because, at that point, she has called the cave home.

25) 3 starts a day camp. What happens?
She only chooses the strongest to come with her, and ends up going on her own, enjoying the peace of nature.

26) 4,6, and 7 are doing the Hokey-Pokey. 8 walks in. What ha... ]]> ~NicoleVanDort http://NicoleVanDort.deviantart.com/journal/19572077/ http://NicoleVanDort.deviantart.com/journal/19572077/ Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:55:25 PDT

this in support of your friends and loved ones who are. Love is not defined by color, creed, sexual preference, or gender. Feel free to add your own story to the end.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the one working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn't have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am a warrior for my country serving proud, but can't be my true self because gays aren't allowed in the military.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the who isn't sure what she is. I am the who is rejected by her "best friends" because of a less-than-conventional crush.

I am what I am and I don't know who because I am always thinking about what other people will make of me. Who am I? Not boy not girl, just me and little people care about who you are and what you long for when you look like someone else obviously and your wishes and dreams seem easily to be guessed. Fail.

I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson."

This is the boy, Matthew Shepard. On October 7, 1998 Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson lead him to a remote area east of Laramie where they demonstrated unimaginable acts of brutality. Matthew was tied to a split-rail fence where he was beaten and left to die in the cold of the night. Almost 18 hours later he was found by a cyclist who initially mistook him for a scarecrow. Matthew died on October 12 at 12:53 am at a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. MURDERED BECAUSE HE WAS GAY!!

I am the best friend to one who has had her heart broken too many times, and the friend who has to watch the repression continue and is powerless to stop it.

I am the girl who is not gay herself, but is sick and tired of seeing how her friends are treated for it. One of her friends couldn't sleep over anymore after my her parents found out the girl was a lesbian. This girl sits back and has to listen to her father's and friends' homophobic remarks, and watch in her school as some of her closest friends are made fun of and stayed away from because of their sexual preference. This girl is sick of it.

I am the girl who never knew what i liked. Im the girl who bearly believes in the word 'love'. But i do know, people should love who they want, and if the time comes, i shall love whoever i want, male, or female.

I am the girl who was terrified of coming out to her father about being bisexual; now that I'm a lesbian, I'm scared to even leave my room. The only reason I do is to be with my adoring girlfriend, who knows more about me than my last family.

They've even injured me!

Those who know me in RL know my situation. For everyone else, here's the story. There are three turkeys who have been traveling around Saugus; two male one female. One day, when I was helping my dad fix his car, I felt one pecking at my leg. As I backed away from it, the other male came around another car and started chasing me! I had to run back into my house! This was last month.

About 6 days ago, I was resting on a boulder outside my house, cause it was the first nice day in a long time. Then, I felt a harsh pain on my left arm. I look to see the first male turkey scratching at my arm! I still have the cut! And just a few nights ago, I heard them outside my window, PECKING AT MY WALL!!

-hides under bed- I swear....they have some vendetta against me...

I've been really obsessed with that movie lately. Especially the Cheshire Cat. I ADORE HIM! I even made a myspace roleplay account for him.
