This is my awkward first attempt at talking to the internet. OTL I'm sorry for how stupid my voice is, lol. I didn't know I spoke so weirdly. <<;

My only hope is that some good will come out of this. Once I get the hang of handling a camera, I plan to make something more entertaining than videos of my boring life. XD

.....geeze...I may take this down out of humiliation unless I start liking it better.


_{...PS...please comment if you have an account. Tell me what you think. Any helpful advice is welcome! It would make my day.}

EDIT:
I started out with this channel [link] , then decided to use that one for only animations and such(one I know how). This is where I will be putting art stuff and animations form this gallery. I made another account [link] for my other silly videos. Go see!

You need to go look at this portrait:
Pretty good even in the thumbnail, but the real treat is in the full-view. Zoom in, look closely, and TELL me that THAT does not blow your mind away.

_{By the way, the portrait is entered in this contest, if you care to vote for it. <.<;}

Pronunciation: kah-SAWN-druh JOON SHONG
Meaning: “Kasondra” from Casondra – “not to be believed;” Jun – “the truth;” Xiang – “to soar.”
Orientation: ambiguous
Species: human
Age: (varies with the rp - from 14 to 18)
Build: very petite, skinny as a rail, and shapeless to a point where her gender is questionable to strangers.
Height: 5’2”
Skin: pale tan
Eyes: big; almond-shaped; very dark green
Hair(Color/Length/Style): black; short, a few inches below her ears; kind of stuck out everywhere.
Markings: a small dragonfly tattoo on her right ankle and a thin, serpentine dragon tattoo up her back, with its head curling a little over her left shoulder and onto the base of her neck, directed toward her ear as if trying to tell her something. Its tail twists around her right hip.
Extra: not very feminine at all; just extremely androgynous. She could easily pass as a younger boy, and often does, because she considers it easier than trying to make people take her seriously as a girl.
Scent: lemon grass, oregano, and spearmint

Clothing: loose, black pants with ties at the waist and each ankle; prefers oriental silk shirts, but can never afford them anymore and usually ruins the ones she steals, so she ends up wearing the same old oversized, zippered hoodie in a dirty, faded shade of olive green(it’s durable, waterproof on the outside and has lasted her YEARS, despite her efforts to destroy it); under the hoodie is nothing but athletic bandages acting as a crude sports-bra-ish-thing(which also serves to flatten what little curve she has and complete the male charade); she also wears more athletic bandages around her fists, forearms and ankles, but not her feet. (This is because she is attempting to toughen her soles to the point where she’ll never again need shoes. She has been doing it for four years now, since her last pair of shoes met their demise, and so far all she’s gotten are sore, dirty feet with frequent blisters. But she keeps trying.)
Weapons: she owns no weapons and has never been trained in fighting. She improvises. She picks up whatever nearest her can be used as a weapon and attempts to do some kind of damage with it. If no weapon is available, she uses what little kung-fu(etc.) she has picked up from the movies. Biting is usually her most effective tactic. She has pretty strong jaws. **Also, though she usually doesn’t think of using this when fighting, she knows all the pressure points on the human body fairly well and could use them to her advantage in a desperate situation. (see history for reasons)
Occupation: con-artist; thief, on-and-off stage actress

Family:
 Mother: Heather Murphy-Jun Xiang; deceased
 Father: Qian Jun Xiang
Friends: --to be determined--
Foes: authority figures, anyone she accidentally pisses off
Relationship Status: single; wouldn't say no to a relationship, but she honestly doesn't beleive anyone would ever be interested in her, so she isn't really looking either.

Likes: wealth, coin tricks, climbing stuff, fooling people, kiwis, seafood, silk clothing, making up (bad) haiku, singing loudly(though not necessarily nicely), rhyming, daydreaming, stealing things, sunsets, stars, stories, weird things/people.
Dislikes: restrictions, getting caught, red meat, not being taken seriously, being poor, psychiatrists( “quacks” ), having her real thoughts exposed, mysteries or secrets she can’t figure out, following orders(unless there’s something in it for her), feeling watched.
Skills: slight-of-hand, acupuncture, dodging and running away, climbing anything, balancing, freerunning(that running up walls and leaping across buildings thing), lying/acting, making people believe she’s a terrible liar(thus making her serious lies all the more believable), crying/sweating at will, recognizing other liars(usually).
Weaknesses: she can’t aim very well when throwing things, she is clueless when it comes to real fighting, she never learned how to swim, and she’s attracted to people who are both smart and powerful(which really isn’t good for her, because stupid powerful people are easier to rip off).
Phobias: dying poor. Mind control. Alien probes.

Personality: extremely curious, mostly carefree, usually friendly, bold, outgoing, boyish, competitive, creative, crafty, slightly manipulative, a little bit greedy, a little bit selfish, for the most part untrusting, compulsive liar, kleptomaniac, kind of amoral, a little paranoid of unlikely things(such as mind reading, hypnosis, subliminal messages, and... ]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/25151852/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/25151852/ Fri, 05 Jun 2009 21:26:07 PDT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Character Name: Adrian Shayne Charming
(a.k.a. "Prince" Charming)

Age: 18

Physical Description: Adrian is short for a boy at only 5'5", with a light, slim build. He has a fair complexion with only a few light freckles from the sun. His hair is straight and blonde, cut with long bangs so it covers his ears but barely brushes the back of his neck. His eyes are a dark, chocolaty brown. He's very good-looking.
When not in uniform(goes to a private boarding school), Adrian prefers casual clothes - usually just a T-shirt or tank top and jeans, unless he's dressing up for something specific.
Adrian can almost always be seen with a smile on his face.

Personality: Adrian is an easygoing, flirtatious and good-natured guy with a love for music and outdoor activities. He is friendly and energetic with a huge sense of humor and likes to mess with people. He doesn't do it to be mean; he just enjoys confusing people.
Adrian is a really physical person. This doesn't mean he's a pervert, it just means that he considers physical contact a very casual thing. For example, hugging people, patting on the back, resting heads on shoulders, ruffling people's hair...it's all quite automatic for him, and sometimes he has to control himself around his friends who are less...touchy-feely. It's just the most natural way he knows how to express himself.
He is very attractive, and he knows it, but he's not at all vain - on the contrary, he sees it as a bit of a nuisance. He had earned the name "Prince Charming" in his middle school and due to his interesting surname, the label caught on at his boarding school as well.
Orientation: bisexual
Relationship Status: single
Romantic Mindset: He gets a lot of attention from girls. He can be a huge flirt, but he usually likes going after the hard-to-get types best. Since he's bisexual, his targets include boys as well - whether they're straight or not. He actually prefers boys, to be honest, although girls are easiest to get through to. He usually only flirts a lot with girls. Though he can be really silly by nature, when he has a crush on a boy he gets uncharacteristically shy, and won't be quite as over-the-top as usual. He only gets flirty again once he’s comfortable enough and confidant enough to do so.
With girls, he likes the kinds that really stick out from the crowd: bold, interesting, and of course hard-to-get, or else it would just be too easy. When going after girls, Adrian only gets more and more persistent and outgoing. Adrian's taste in boys is a bit different. When he's with a guy, he is always the more submissive one in a relationship. Therefore he likes demanding, more aggressive guys. He has kind of a thing for the bad-boy type, but he won't admit it.

~~Other~~
Adrian is sort of a jock when it comes to boarding sports (skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, etc)…And by “jock” I mean “enthusiast,” not “thick-headed tough guy.” He doesn't have the build for most other sports, and was delighted to find one variety he excelled at. He smuggles his skateboard past his parents every year and finds some free time at school in which to practice. He isn't the greatest, but he isn't bad either. Soccer is the only team sport he’s really obsessed with. He tried basketball once and liked it well enough, but decided it wasn’t for him when everyone else began to get taller than he was. Other than that, he likes any outdoor physical activity, like hiking, rafting and cliff-climbing.

He also likes to sing, and has a rather exceptional singing voice, but he keeps that fact to himself most of the time. He has a bad case of stage fright - though he's trying to cure it - and doesn't like signing in front of people he doesn't know.

Likes: skateboarding, surfing, drawing, swimming, singing, flirting, teasing friends, being outside.
Dislikes: shellfish, coulliflour, being ignored, and too much silence.
Weakness: Adrian can't bear singing in front of groups or strangers. He also can't help flirting so much; he's done it so long that it's in his nature now, and it's hard for him to stop. Despite this, he tends to get tongue-tied and awkward around guys he likes.
Favorite Animal: all kinds of canines
Favotire color: blue

Family:
Father – Franklin Charming
Moth er – Natalie Charming
Pet – male Akita named Loki

History:
Adrian was born to Natalie Charming and her husband, the mildly wealthy psychiatrist Frank Charming. Although they were financially upper-class, they did not spend extravagantly and lived in a nice smallish house in a regular neighborhood. Adrian was never spoiled and... ]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/25098984/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/25098984/ Tue, 02 Jun 2009 23:35:15 PDT BloodyPassion's benefit. It will probably be taken down later, until I can draw a proper ref sheet and stick it up in my gallery.

--------------------------

Name: Merik Alexander Jastyr
Pronunciation: MARE-ick al-ecks-AN-dur jaz-TEER
Orientation: straight, as far as we know.
Species: human
Age: 22
Build: lean, but healthy, with some muscle from outdoor activity but not enough to impress anyone.
Height: 5’11”
Skin: a bit pale, with faint freckles across his nose if he gets too much sun. He tans very easily, but hardly ever burns; when he was younger he was darker, but in recent years he has developed a slight aversion to bright sunlight.
Eyes: an alarming, cattish light green
Hair(Color/Length/Style): dark auburn/short, maybe two inches long all around/grows however it wants, usually a little messy but not too wild.
Scent: spice and pines

Clothing: dresses on a whim – his style is so sporadic he could be in monochrome black one day, and a toga and fuzzy slipper the next, if he felt like it. He really doesn’t care very much. However, he especially enjoys blaringly bright colors, especially when they clash.
Weapons: knows how to use a switchblade and can fist-fight decently, but is more fast than strong and can be easily overpowered. He knows how to throw knives, but usually does it for show, and has never really tried to hit a moving person with them.
Occupation: traveling entertainer, jack-of-all-trades.

Family:
 Mother/Father/Siblings: unknown
 Other Relatives: Laurence Jastyr (guardian and father figure; not really related)
Relationship Status: single. Merik has never been especially interested in romance. He admires the idea, of course - he has nothing against people being in love. He himslef, however, has never really felt anything of the sort. He loves Laurence as a father figure. He loves his friends in a companionable sense. He can appreciate when a girl is attractive. Nevertheless, he has never acknowledged ever having a "crush" on anyone before. If this were to suddenly happen, it would surprise him, but he wouldn't fight it. He probably wouldn't act on it for a while, though, at least not until he figured out what he was going to do about it.

Likes: Acting, reading, solving puzzles or riddles, making up riddles, playing tricks, confusing people, watching people, acrobatics, climbing things, playing/listening to music, making up songs and poetry
Dislikes: close-minded people, stereotypes, bigots, and stubborn ignorance
Skills: very good at playing the piano and the harp; has excellent balance and can climb pretty much anything(when he was little he wanted to be an acrobat or trapeze artist, and so honed these particular skills to perfection); good at card tricks.
Weaknesses: socializing with people(though this doesn't bother him); can’t draw anything more complicated than a stick figure; often doesn't see the point of eating, and sometimes forgets to do it so often that he grows weak from malnutrition. He is mostly nocturnal when he’s able to be, and doesn’t get as much sleep as he should.
Random Quirks: fidgets, often spaces out and gets lost in thought, and does things on a whim – cares nothing of what those around him think of his actions. Nonetheless: however impulsive he appears, he always thinks before he acts - even if it doesn't seem like it. Favorite colors are black and purple, least favorite color is gray

He has a….unique way with words that grabs the attention. He tends to say very strange things at random, the reasons for which nobody really knows. Because of this, he can be mistaken as slow or "special," even though this is completely incorrect. He can also be extremely poetic. He speaks in a style that is sort of a mix of time periods, sometimes sounding perfectly modern, at others as if he'd stepped right out of a medieval fairy tale. He also likes to rhyme sometimes, which makes him sound like either a Jester or some kind of deranged poet.

Personality: Merik is, in one word, an oddball. Clever, imaginative, artistic, cunning, witty, extremely intelligent(so much so that he could rightly be called a genius, even a prodigy, though he doesn't show it all the time); usually comes off as weird, outgoing, creative, and never shy about anything, yet at the same time he can seem a little spacey and almost completely detached from the rest of society; always appears easygoing and relaxed, unless he gets interested or excited about something, in which case he is very energetic; very theatrical, an exceptional actor, and a lover of drama; open-minded, however he is not... ]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/23467735/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/23467735/ Wed, 01 Apr 2009 23:16:33 PDT Edited May 16, 2009

The only reason I have time to write this journal is because I got to go hoem for Thanksgiving, and therefore have a day or two of free time.

Special apologies to Colleen, Alex, Shawn, John, Noel, Meaghan(if she reads this), Rikki and eveyrone else I used to talk to on a regular basis. I was to re-iterate that I DO love you all and I will contact you as soon as I can.

Shawn: I saw your e-mails but haven't had time to read them yet. In fact, I haven't read or replied to any e-mails in a very long time. D: This will be fixed soon. I'm sorry!

Alex: I see the two notes you sen me, but haven't read them yet. When I read them, I will try to reply, but know that I won't be able to reply to anything after that because I'm going back to Kansas tomorrow.

However! I am going to TRY to get my shit together so I can set aside time to e-mail you all and tyr ot keep in contact. So no worries: the silence will not last much longer. And hey, then we have all of Christmas Break to hang out! Yay!

Talk to you all soon, if you don't hate me by now,

I need some opinions, first.

Would any of you be interested in seeing snippets of original stories? Some will be random, and I may put up an old fanfic or two, but MOST of it will just be little scenes about my original characters from my "big story"(some of you already know about it; the one I've been adding to for years).

Well? Should I? 0_o;; *indecisive*

Phew. I'm slowly eating into this list!

]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/19509782/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/19509782/ Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:04:44 PDT

Anyway, so here's what's been going on the last couple weeks. As I said before, I only got a day at home to spend with my kitty before I was whisked away on a two-week trip through Idaho to visit family. It was mostly spent in the car. xp Thank God for my ability to entertain myself with almost anything! ^^ I rarely needed to resort to that, though. I had my journal, my laptop(but no internet), my music, and BEST OF ALL, Neil Gaiman. <3 He's one of my favorite authors of all time. I bought "American Gods" in the London airport(a bookstore in ENGLISH was like a breath of fresh air), and I've been trying to make it last as long as possible. Usually I just breeze through books, specially ones I like, so I've had to really try to take this one slowly. I want to make it last as long as possible since I don't have anything else to read.
But this is an awesome book! It's totally different than what I expected, even from the back cover. It's really weird and I love it. However, if any of you out there are tempted to go read it, I must warn you: it IS an ADULT book. There IS lots of swearing, some violence and MULTIPLE sex scenes, including one gay scene(so far) and a really disturbing prostitute scene(which I will not describe) that will, literally, scare all men away from sex with prostitutes FOREVER. It’s that freaky.
Still, great book. ^.^ Lol. It's dark and deep and kinda funny in a twisted way and I LOVE EET.

Anyway, back to my trip:
The first place we went was Grangeville, Idaho, to my Grandma Jan’s house(my mom’s mom). We visited her, my Grandpa Charlie(mom’s stepdad), Uncle Jim(mom’s little brother), my G.G.s(aka Great Granparents; Grandma Jan’s parents), and my Uncle Terry. He’s actually my Great-Uncle(Grandma Jan’s younger step-brother), but he’s only as old as my mom so I just call him uncle. He has two sons my age, but they live with their mother right now. He has a new baby named Emma with his second wife, though, and she’s ADORABLE OMG.
Anyway. Grangeville is a tiny mountain town full of friendly hicks, lol. And sucky wifi. I drove myself crazy for three days trying to find a decent signal.

Next we traveled to Boise to see mis abuelos, my granparents on my dad’s side. My Abuelito is a somewhat Scandinavian gringo, but my Abuelita is half Spanish and half Mexican. English is her second language(though the way she speaks Spanish nowadays you’d think that was her second language, lol). USUALLY when we go over there it’s like a big family reunion and I get to see both my uncles and all my cousins and everything, but now everyone’s scattered. I got to see my Uncle Ken(dad’s older brother) and his second wife Diana, and that was cool, but they were the only ones. Ken’s sons Nick and Ben live out of state with their mom now. Uncle Mike(dad’s younger brother) and his son Shane also live out of state with his second wife, and his younger son Matt lives somewhere near Twin Falls with his mom.

We(Nate and I) used to be really tight with out cousins(on Dad’s side anyway). I miss those days. Now we barely see them, though I can still talk to Shane and Matt once in a while. I haven’t seen or spoken to Nick or Ben in years.

When we visit our Grandma Jan, we need to be polite and sociable, but we don’t have to worry a lot because she mostly talks to mom, so we can do whatever we want to entertain ourselves. When we’re at Abuelita’s, it’s a lot less formal. We don’t NEED to socialize with the old people if we don’t want to, but my abuelos are FUN old people, so we do anyway. When everyone is there it’s like a big party. It was kind of lonely this time, though, without any of the cousins. We almost got to see Matt, but we missed eachother by only an hour.

After Abuelita’s house, we drove down to….um, some other town, I forget where…and visited my Grandpa Harry(mom’s dad) and his wife Ella, who we call Aunt Ella, because she’s never had children of her own and being called “grandma” makes her feel old or something. She’s Polish, sixty-something years old, and looks only forty. I think she’s still really pretty. She has gorgeous blue eyes. My Grandpa Harry is older than my Albuelito, but looks much younger(mostly because Abuelito doesn’t take care of himself, and Ella forces Harry to, lol).
Although at Abuelita’s house, they don’t care if Nathan and I run off to do our own thing, Grandpa Harry is a LOT like mom, and therefore expects us to spend all our time visiting.

D: I thought I could come back from an awesome vacation and then have the rest of summer to hang out with friends and go to Renfair and stuff - but NO! I have to suffer through hours and hours of DRIVING and no internet until I visit my abuelitos!

Hokay, so first off - Italy rocked. 8D I can't tell you everything in one journal entry - maybe not even fourteen journal entries. But hoo boy! We spent our first week only in Rome, but the second week we went to Venice, Florence, Naples, Assisi, Pisa, and even POMPEII(that was my favorite). If you want more detail than what I post here(which won't be much because I want to keep this short), note me! And be warned: I WILL ramble. There's THAT much to tell.

I saw ancient ruins and artwork and countless museums and basillicas(none of which bored me, bcause I am both an art AND history freak, so I was in heaven). I also got to see the Pope! Like, in person...literally only a few feet away!_{(I kinda wish we still had John Paul II though, cause I don't know much about this new guy except that he's got a tight schedule and a really structured personality.)} I loved all the history and legends and statues and...and..and!

Venice was incredile. We didn't ride a gondola(they're an expensive ripoff, trust me), but we did ride the watertaxi a lot. The water is so murky there. I daydreamed about buying a scuba suit and swiming around just under the surface where no one could see me, then popping up and scaring the tourists. That would be fun. And I got some nice glass souvenirs(Venice is famous for its glass), but mom's glass gondola broke. D: We also stayed out late and watched the football match(REAL football, as in soccer, not American football) between Spain and Italy. No one scored during normal game time, and Spain only won because of penalty shots, but it was still awesome. EVERYONE was out on the streets and in the bars, watching the game. It was like a city-wide holiday. Europeans really like football.

Pompeii was so awesomely awesome that I won't even start ranting about it here; it will take too much space. Ask me about it later.

Pisa had the leaning tower, of course, and a good restaurant. Naples had the best pizza, but Florence had the best pasta. We also saw a St. John the Baptist Day parade in Florence, and I got to see Michelangelo's David.

By the way, EVERYONE was naked in ancient Rome. XD Just so ya know.

Assissi was the cleanest, nicest-smelling, prettiest place of all. The others were just like regular cities, exept with a few ruins, bad plumbing, and NO DEODERANT. Assissi was more isolated, and therefore more sanitary.

I took TONS of pictures. My photo account is going to explode. But it will take a while, because I need to sort and shrink them first. :\

I loved Italy, but whenit comes to relaxation, Majorca OWNED! Majorca is a little Spanish island, for those who don't know, and it is PARADISE. Better than Hawaii or the Bahamas or Florida or any other tropical vacation spot I've ever been to!
Plus - if any boys out there are reading this - apparantly European women go topless at the beaches.
I didn't, though. My brother and dad would've been scarred. But when I go back there with Leigh Ann one day WE'RE TOTALLY DOING IT, BOOYAH.

I'll tell you why Majorca is the greatest:
Half the island is dominated by German tourism, the other half by British tourism. We were on the British side, so even if we DIDN'T all speak Spanish(except for Dad), we had no problems because everything was in English. I was around so many British people every day, it actually took an EFFORT to keep from speaking with a British accent. Accents rub off on me so easily, I had to fight to keep my American one after a while. XD

The reason why Majorca is perfect is that you can sleep, tan, and swim at the beach ALL DAY(where the water is clear and blue and waaaarm<3), then stay out all night at a discotech(a dance club/bar thing...doesn't have to play disco music, don't worry. XD).

We taked a LOT about all kinds of random things, and watched MCR videos("Ghost of You" and "I Don't Love You"; both sad but amazing videos). We talked about our characters, listened to music and watched Black Cat until like 4am, when we went to sleep. Woke up around nine and I had to leave soon after that, though.

This journal will be short because I don't have much time left - I really need to pack for my trip.

Which brings me to the explanation for the title: tomorrow is my last day of preparations before I leave for Italy on Saturday, and I will be gone for nearly three weeks. Then I'm going to spend another week basking on the beach in Majorca, Spain( ENVY ME! lols). After that, I just found out, I'm only coming home for two days before leaving for a family vist in Idaho.

I don't know whether I will be able to bring my laptop with me during any of this.

Therefore, this will be my last update for quite a while.

Goodbye everybody! Wish me luck in EUROPE!!

She was kind enough to pick me up around four, and we spent the first few hours making kick-ass tie-dye t-shirts, whoo! I've never done that before. It was fun. There were nummy snacks, too, and then we watched Madagascar.

After that, we had pizza for dinner(some yummy garlic-y thing, and then a cookie pizza for desert) and finished our Weiss Kreuz marathon. Yipee! Damn you Nightshadow, I didn't need another addiction.

I have to say that I am now an official Schwarz fan. My favorite is Schuldig, of course, but I love the others, too...I just can't decide who I like most out of the rest of them.

Out of the good guys, my favorite has to be Botan(*SOB*), closely followed by Ken. After that it's Neu(but she's not a "good guy"), then Aya/Ran, then Yohji. _{Don't laugh, I have my reasons!}

And for the record, I have to say that even though BY NO MEANS is Tot a favorite, AT ALL, I do not totally hate her. Maybe it's because I like sweet and adorable romances(Tot/Nagi). Maybe it's because I have someone in my own head who's eerily similar in annoying-ness_{(*cough*ERIS*cough*)} and I'm used to it. In any case, I don't dislike her nearly as much as I hate other characters.
I rank her well above Omi, for example.
Sorry, Omi. I only like COOL girly-boys, like...like Hisoka. ( knows what I'm talking about!) And Raenef. And many others besides you.

Anyhoo, after finishing Weiss and all the outtakes(Whip it good, baybeh!/Don't sass me, there's no crying in baseball!/.....And then keep talking...), we watched my sample episodes of Lost Star and Aquarion() I NEED to find more Aquarion!!

Then we talked until Nightshadow's words turned into YouTube videos in my head, and I had to go to sleep or risk answering her with incoherent sleepy-babble.

Nest day we woke at around 12/1-ish, then RP'd until like, 7:00pm. I felt kind of like a squatter or something, staying in her house that long.

FUNFUNFUN TIEMZ!

Next time, we're doing Death Note. Woo-ha!

Man was I sore on Sunday from caving! n fact, I'm STILL kind of sore. It's a satisfying soreness, though, y'know? Anyone who likes being active like I do will understand.

Once I got home on Saturday, I took a shower and lots of naps, then slept in on Sunday for a good long time. Then I was supposed to go to the movies to see Iron Man again with and , but couldn't make it, so it ended up being just me and Alex. But it was still lots of fun! ^^ And I actually got to see the bit after the credits this time.

Then on Monday I slept in again until like, two. When I actually did wake up, I took my brother's crappy old DBZ skateboard and walked/rode to the Chapel Hills Mall. I'm glad to say that I'm not as rusty as I though I'd be with a skateboard, but I do have one problem: I seem to have forotten how to stop when I'm going really, really fast, which is a bad thing because that's when I kind of have to know how to stop. Eheheheh. Oh well.

I sat in Borders for a good two hours, then walked back up to my Venture Crew meeting. Chris said he'd see me there, but he never came, which was dissapointing. Chris D popped in once, but only for like, thirty seconds. They NEVER come to the meetings anymore.

After that I went home and finally got to watch "I Am Legend." It was okay, but the entire time I kept getting flashbacks from "28 Days Later," and frankly, I think I like that movie better anyway. Sorry, Will Smith. You're great, but the movie just isn't up to Cillian Murphy standards, lol. Mmmm...beautiful blue eyes. ---> [link]

Will Smith is hella buff, but Cillian Murphy is PRETTY.
[link] [link] [link]
Who agrees with me?!

I think that's all for now. Oh, we found a baby bird in our windowsill today. We let it go. I hope the cat's don't eat it. D:

I woke up at 9:00 on Friday, packed everything I needed, and met Chris Anderson and Chris D. at the meeting church. The official plan was to set up camp on Friday, crawl around in TWO caves all day on Saturday, then climb up cliffs on Sunday. One of the caves would be so big we’d have toe repel into it. I was so excited! However, I was going to leave a day early(Saturday) because Chris A couldn’t stay for Sunday, and he was my ride. Big Chris Brose offered to drive me home of Sunday if I decided to stay, but I kind of got a hint that Chris A wanted me to ride back with them. Plus, this is Chris Anderson we’re talking about. Hellooooo. Of course I’m going to ride back with him.
So it was about an hour and a half to drive up there, but it was still fun because we had gummy bears, jellybeans, and rock music. And it was entertaining to listen to the two Chrises yell at other cars. Chris A is actually a very good driver.

When we got there, we discovered that we were almost the first people at the campsite. The only two who were there before us was Big Nathan and his friend Josh(they’re pretty much always together. They’re also our Crew’s certified rock climbers). We said hi, then set up the tent that the two Chrises would be sleeping in. Then we set up the tent Chris D’s sister Sarah and her roommate would sleep in. I was, so far, tentless, but I had told JG I didn’t have a tent, so I assumed it would be taken care of. Our campsite was gorgeous – I took lots of pictures, I’ll put them on my photo account later. There were lots of lizards(speedy little buggers…I saw like, six, but couldn’t catch any of them) and mountain goats. I found a tree to climb, ate some gummy bears(thanks to Chris A tempting me), and made friends with the milk-gallon of water we three were sharing. [link]
We couldn’t do anything until JG got there, so when he did, we immediately went over and told him we were going to check out the river. We did, but eventually got scared off by a gigantic mutant bee that had landed on Chris A’s shirt, lol.

As we were crossing the street back to the campsite, Josh and Nathan drove up and asked if we wanted to go do a little cliff climbing with them, since we had nothing else planned that day, and no one else had yet arrived. Chris D and I were eager to go, but Chris A was not. See, Chris’s twin JP is claustrophobic and hates caving, but loves climbing things. Chris A loves caving, but is afraid of heights. So it was with great reluctance that he decided he’d go climbing with us. I’d glad to say, though, that it was his own decision – we never actually asked him to come, and if had stayed, we would have stayed with him.

The drive up to the cliffs was an adventure in itself. Nathan, we found out, is a terrible navigator, and we were literally halfway back to Pueblo before we turned around and started circling Canyon City in search of our parking lot(with a lot of help from Chris D and a map). Josh had already taken his shirt off [link] and Chris A soon followed suit [link] when we got out of the car and began to hike in the broiling heat of noon. The two heavier guys did not take off their shirts, and neither did I, though I wanted to – It was freakin’ HOT! I said as much out loud, and Chris A mentioned how there were no actual adult figures around, and they wouldn’t tell anyone if I had the urge…but I just laughed at him.
The hike was Hell, but it was still a fun way to exercise. Chris D, the heaviest of the guys [link] didn’t think as much…but at least he didn’t keel over or anything. Both Josh and Chris A are skinny as sticks, so they really didn’t have any problem. Once we actually got to the cliffs, I asked Chris A if he was still up to climbing…he said that he hiked all the way up there, so he was sure as hell going to climb SOMETHING. Haha.

The cliff we chose had a crack running down it [link] so we thought it would be easier than the others. It was still pretty high, though. Josh went up first, mostly unprotected, to set up the safety ropes for the rest of us, with Nathan holding the other end to support him [link] Chris D wanted to go next…[link] he was the only one of the three of us newbies who had ever actually climbed a real cliff before. He only got about five feet up, though, lol, and that was with help. And it was an easy part! It was mostly because he had scraped up his stomach pretty badly already, I guess. Anyway, he had Chris A supporting him….which was funny, ‘cause he co... ]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/18643776/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/18643776/ Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:45:25 PDT ), and it was at JG’s house, so I finally got to meet the infamous Jake-The-Idiot-Dog. Chris Brose(big banker Chris) was there, and so was Chelsea, and some new eighth-grader who I mistook for a senior. XD Sarah and Chris Delacross also came, but left almost immediately. I saw JP there, but as usual, not Chris(Anderson), so I didn’t think he was coming, but to my astonishment, he showed up later anyway! Not only that, but he actually came outside to hang with me, Teresa, Nathan, and Eighth-Grader-Chick. It was quite an experience to be near him after all this time. Those who know this story will know what I mean. I was so happy we got to hang out and talk in person again.
I missed putting up flags that morning because mom didn’t want to get up and drive me there at six AM, but after the barbeque I did help them take it down, and Chris even volunteered me to ride in the open trunk with him while Big Chris drove us around the neighborhood collecting flags. I was very happy. And Chris A’s trench coat thing reminded me of Gerard Way, lol. When we went back to JG’s house, Chris offered to drive me up to the caves that weekend, so I finally got a ride.
Tuesday, we(my mom, my brother, and I) spent the entire day in the car, driving to Kansas. We stopped one or twice for food and gas, and once more so mom could take a nap, but other than that it was pretty constant. We stayed at some hotel called the AmericInn(I bet they felt so clever with a name like that). The college I’m going to is located only about 45 minutes away from Kansas City, in a small(VERY small) town called Atchison, right next to the Missouri river(and thus, bordering Missouri itself). We once crossed the river to get gas because it was cheaper in Missouri than in Kansas. XD
Mom didn’t allow me to bring my laptop along because she wanted me to “visit with my family,” although all we did was play cards and watch Monk together once we got there, and in the meantime, I was music-less and internet-less during the car ride. TT-TT I was going through Gerry withdrawal…lol, but I’ll talk about that later.
The AmericInn did actually have a free computer for customers to use, so I did get to get online for minimal amounts of time, but I didn’t hang in the hotel that often. The first night all we did was sleep. The next day was when we got down to business.
On Wednesday, we drove up to Benedictine and toured the campus. I met the student body president, a five-year senior named Josh or John or something. Joey, that was it – his name was Joey. He was pretty nice. It was raining. It was actually VERY humid down there, compared to good ole’ Colorado Springs. Joey was actually from Colorado, too, so I was glad to have someone who sympathized. The campus is absolutely beautiful – all the buildings are pretty and made of brick, and outside, everything is so GREEN! There are trees everywhere, and almost all of them are leafy trees – much less conifers than up in the mountains. There’s no place to hike or anything of course, in Kansas, but on the monks’ side of the property there are caves that students are allowed to explore as long as we have a guide. D Yay, spelunking opportunities!!
I also got to meet with a four-year senior girl, and English major. We had lunch and she told me all about the English department, classes, and student life. It sounds like a lot of fun. There are loads of extra activities and events throughout the year to keep me busy. It’s a good thing, too, because Atchison, Kansas, is HODUNKVILLE. They’re like a nothing-town! They have…well, nothing. The closest thing to a mall there is Wal*Mart. Their movie theater only plays two movies at a time, on old, TINY screens. And they have NO BOOKSTORE! None at ALL! Except for this dinky thing called “Doodlebugs” which sells picture books for kindergarteners. Puh-lease, what kind of town doesn’t have a book store?! *cries* The only way I was consoled was to keep reminding myself, “You won’t have time, you won’t have time, you won’t have time.”
After talking with the girl –... ]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/18496109/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/18496109/ Sun, 25 May 2008 14:17:33 PDT . It was actually pretty good! Different from the series, but hey, that was to be expected. For example, they created an entirely new character to serve as a love interest for Light. But she dies later, so that's okay. XD *feels a bit bloodthristy* They also start Light off in College right away, not high school. Thye switch around the order of some events and completely re-write other events. They used the same voices for Cheif Yagami, Light, and Ryuk, though.
And then L!!! Thety did a FANTASTIC job with L, both in manner AND appearance. Even the English-dub voice actor was great! I love him, he's so cute and genious-y. x3 Heehee.
I saw Robbie there(in a very bad "L" cosplay ) with his sister, but I didn't see Maybe he couldn't make it? Ah well.

After the movie I got to sleep over at 's house and we had a Weiss Kreuz marathon. I must admit I'm quite hooked. We need to get together again soon to watch the rest...and I need to make her watch Death Note. :3 Mwahahaha! Horray for awesome anime! ^^
I couldn't stay at 's house for long, though...Robbie called, and then mom nagged, so I left to drop my stuff at home and hang out with him at the mall for a bit.^^

The next day was uneventful, other than me finally getting all my files transfered to my
SHINY NEW LAPTOP! I'm soooooo happy! I finally have one, whooo!
I still need to twiddle with a few things until it's perfect, but...*contented sigh*

Then on Thursday I went to Matt Deloux's grad party, then hung out at Borders for an hour while mom picked up Leigh Ann. I found a book I've been looking for - a crack yaoi manga called "All Nippon Air Lines"(A.N.A.L. ) I only got to read the first three pages, but I was cracking up...I was trying really hard not to make people stare at me. I HAVE to go back and finish reading it!

Me and -chan went to see Indiana Jones. INDIEEE! He's my childhood hero, you know. Indiana Jones, Zorro, and Robin Hood are all worth spazzing over. But it just wouldn't be the real Zorro if it wasn't Antonio Banderaz, and it wouldn't be the real Indie if it wasn't Harrison Ford, so I'm really glad they kept to the same actor.
The movie was great - it was every bit as corny as the old movies. XD I loved it anyway, because it had INDIE IN IT! And he's old now, but he was still being all cool with the wip, and the rope-swinging, and the atittude, and...and...:fangirl squee: lol. was more obsessed with Shea Labouf, though. She has the hots for him in... ]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/18344529/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/18344529/ Thu, 15 May 2008 22:49:53 PDT


....Um.
LOOK! PONIES!
....No? You don't see them? well....all right.....

I saw Iron Man recently. :3 SO much cooler than I expected! Definitely loved it. Then again, I like almost all cheesy Marvel movies.
I graduate on MONDAY! I'm going to all these parties, too...It will be exhausting. ^^ But IT will be fun.
THEN!!
Then I get to go see the Death Note live-action with !! Whoo! Haven't seen her in forever! And the movie is dubbed, not subbed, but...eh. Oh well. At least I'll finally SEE it.
This will be 's first exposure to Death Note. I wonder how it will go.
Oh, and I might see there, too. ^.^

Sorry, all. It's just that something that has been eating away at my nerves for an unbeleiveable amount of time now has finally eaten through one of them. I am usually a very, very, VERY patient person and it is next to impossible to annoy me if you are not related to me, but this...this is just cruel and sadistic and unfair. And I can do freakin' NOTHING to put a stop to it unless I literally want to kill something. Or look like a total bitch.

IT SUCKS.

It's not exactly that this thing has always angered me. It's just that extreme irritation and a sense of being trapped with no ESCAPE from an endless chain of LIES and EGGSHELL-STEPPING and fake, somewhat strained smiles tends to GRATE on my nearly non-existant temper until I end up wanting to scream.

I think I'm going to snap. I really do.

And I can't even rant to all of my friends about this because I will probably:
a) hurt someone
b) insult someone
c) piss someone off, or
d) make people think I'm some kind of mean psychobitch who just needs to calm down and "give them a chance."

Fuck that, I've given them plenty of chances and they refuse to take them. The REFUSE. They sometimes pretend to, but then they just go back to what they were doing and forget all about it. I don't even know if they realize they do it or not, but they seem to CLING to the miserable phase with a morbid passion and it's driving me insane!

This fucking thing is tormenting me, and any possible way to stop it will make me HATE myself if I do it.

ARRRGH.

If most of you are getting confused, good. I'm being deliberately vague. The people who already know about this problem of mine will know exactly what I'm talking about.

If you don't know, and you REALLY want to, ask. I may or may not tell you, but if I decide NOT to tell you, you need to just accept that, okay? Don't get all insulted and pissy just because I won't tell you this one thing. PLEASE. Most of you are good about this, but I know it's human nature to dislike being left in the dark. I am really, really not happy right now, so the least you can do is suck it up and swallow your bitter feelings if I don't feel like answering the question.

In know this is unpleasant to read, but hopefully getting this rant all out somewhere will help me to prevent murder. Besides, nobody made you read it.

Do it....DOOO IT.....suffer the curse!

]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/14310678/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/14310678/ Thu, 23 Aug 2007 21:13:36 PDT Spirited Away for the first time. I loved it! I decided to do a short, one-shot fanfic about it - my first fanfic EVER. I posted it on Mediaminer, and expected that to be the end of it. However, I got such nice feedback and requests to continue the story that I decided I would.

I worked on it for maybe two years, on and off. The last chapter I put up was somewhere near the end of 2004 or the beginning of 2005. Then I kind of...forgot about it. Someday I will apologize to all those people waiting me to update on Mediaminer...

Anyway!
Here is what I would like you to vote on:

Are any of you interested in reading this fanfic? Would you read it if I posted up the chapters?

It sort of starts like the typical Back-To-The-Bathhouse SA fanfic, but then there's a bit more plottage that should make it more interesting, once I finally get it all finished.

If it will help your decision, this is the summary - sort of - that I had describing it on Mediaminer:

It's been almost 3 years since Chihiro came back from the spirits' realm. She promised her friend Sakura that she'd someday take her there, but is Chihiro ready to go back?
Then when the spirits' tunnel seems a bit more elusive than it used to be, Chihiro begins to question whether any of it really happened at all.
*dramatic music*
More unwitting humans stumble into the dangerous realm of the spirits, other supernatural dieties show their faces, and Chihiro finds herself tangled in a more dangerous problem than being reunited with the dashing Haku...

Please let me know by posting your opinion here. ^_^ Thank you.

Ah, well...I'm going to try to put up more pictures for you all, but it's slow...and when school starts in a week I'll have even less time, so...sorry. :\

In the meanwhile I'll be commenting and faving a bunch of YOUR art, so...don't worry, be happy.

I'm also going to try that PixelID thing...it looks like FUN! Bandwagon time! Haha...For once...

Well, this was short. o_0 I'll write more later.

Anyway. Hello, everyone. ^_^ I'm currently grounded from all things fun until I get my grades up, that's why I haven't been on much lately.
I've got a shitload of drawing to upload, but I haven't had time to color them! And I'm too stubborn to post them unfinished, so don't suggest it.

I'm really trying, though, really...

Currently I'm working like crazy to finish my entries for 's Halloween contest. I have three. I've finished ONE. (by the way, you should all go comment on it...)

I also need to get myself organized, get my grades up so I can do things I enjoy...like finishing my art and my writings...*sigh*

Oh! And! IT SNOWED! I love snow, especially when it's three feet deep like this. YAHOO! May it never melt until spring.

I'll upload more poetry for y'all. ^__^ Same rule applies: If they are ignored, they will go away. So please comment! Heehee. I'll try to get another pic up as soon as I can, but as of yet, I can promise nothing. Enjoy the poems. ^^ ]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/9900594/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/9900594/ Tue, 29 Aug 2006 19:40:38 PDT I have bunches and bunches of pics to upload. I will start tomorrow, 'cause I'm tired. =_=;; For now, my newet doodle "Lolita" - and my FIRST photoshopped pic EVER, yippeee! - should hold you over. Go look! Go leave comments! ]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/9708697/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/9708697/ Sun, 13 Aug 2006 01:37:48 PDT
So!

I've broken the oath I made to myself about ONLY putting drawings and stuff in this gallery and NOT literature of photography stuff. I made a separate account for photography(GO SEE! [link]), but not for literature, because I didn't WANT my writing to be displayed online.

But.
I've changed my mind.
Mind you, I'm NOT putting any stories up. I will put them on my own website when it is finished, not here.
However.
Since I can do nothing else for a while....I'm posting poetry. You should all go look, or I'll feel hurt and unloved! TT_TT

I'm still not sure about this decision, so if I don't get enough comments out of you people - positive or otherwise - I'll just take them all down again. So NYAAH. Go comment.

I'll put one poem up every other day or so. ^^ First submitted is "Mask of Shadows." Some of you have already read it, oh well. Read it again.

Go see! Go see! Or I will be depressed! ]]> ~ObsidianPyro http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/9471829/ http://ObsidianPyro.deviantart.com/journal/9471829/ Sun, 23 Jul 2006 20:04:23 PDT And I fixed my scanner! W00t! Expect some new deviations to be up soon. ^_^
