BUT I now have high speed internet so I'll probably be putting more stuff on here! Once I get the motivation back to scan them and then put them up... hahaha....

Anyway, have a good day.

Well, it seems that I finally mustered up the courage to just go for it!

YOU CAN BUY MY EMO HARRY T-SHIRTS HERE --> [link]

So have a ball, tell your friends, and let me know if you find something odd or disatisfactory. I'm just trying it out for now to see if people will actually buy it. So all of you who said you would buy it, better pay up son lol.

I am not afraid anymore and am willing to face the truth head on.

It took me a while, but I'm ready.

But anyway, this semester is almost over. I have a lot of painting ideas (and one that needs to be made for a friend) and a multitude of pages coming up for my "Change of Heart" comic(for those that read it, it's going to be the rest of the current chapter) that I can't wait to catch up on! I also have been having fun coming up with comics for the paper, and have been suggested to enter a contest. Sweet.

In other news, I am not looking forward to Black Friday. Work is going to be hectic and I will be drained from energy... but then the rest of the weekend should be fun... and then I have to study hard for the next two weeks of school.... damn school... -_-;; So life is kind of hectic, but it's still cool.

P.S. My parents got a bulldog! He is so adorable and I love him very much. Although the biting hurts.... ouch.

P.P.S. I really miss having fast speed internet accessible from my apartment.... I really do.... T_T

In the meantime, here is a meme that I got from

a) tell you how I know you and a thing or two about whatever you have in your gallery
b) associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.,
c) tell you something I like about you,
d) tell you a memory I have of you,
e) ask something I've always wanted to know about you,
f) tell you my favorite pic of yours,
h) in return, you must post this in your journal.

Yaaaay!!!!

And I will upload some sketches I did (while on the train mostly)! Although most of them have really nothing to do with Japan.

Thank you friends for the "Japan" comments.

I had a fun time seeing and enjoying the beauty of Japan, and seeing my relatives after such a long time. I also got to meet some new baby cousins!

I'll probably put up some pictures of the scenery. It seriously was amazing. Some parts, I felt like I was back in the old days before westernization began, and other parts, you just get blown away by the modern technology!

I wont be able to upload anything good for a while. Still need to buy my charger and see if that's the problem with my computer not charging.

But I hope nobody missed me TOO much while I was gone! Eh-heh... eh-heh.....

I mean, I would also have updated more this week, if my power cord didn't quit on me (so now my battery is dead and I can't access my photoshop and everything. ;_

So yes.

I will get to see relatives I haven't seen in 15 years.

And they will see me all grown up.

How weird hahaha!

I won't be updating any submissions for the next two weeks because of a personal trip to NEW YORK CITY for COMIC-CON!!!!!

Anybody suggest anything to do there while I'm there?

I have officially decided to make Emo Harry a t-shirt.

But I don't know if anyone would buy it!

So I need to know HONESTLY!

Would you buy that shit?

Well, I'm going to recolor it or touch it up since it has been forever since I did it and personally, I don't like the coloring. ANYWHO! Ya, so for the tiny few who read this, TELL ME PLEASE!

Thank you!

So goodbye deviantart for a while. I can't really catch up on deviations or upload anything.

Well, maybe I'll be coming on a couple of times, but that'll be at school. Bleh. School starts on Monday.... -_-;;

The semester is over.

Tonight, I had fondue and lots of it with some pretty cool people and I had a great time.

It was my first time having fondue.

I am very happy and will now work on my comic.

Have a very delicious night.

P.S. I made a new practice sketch thingy that turned out pretty cool. I hope you like it too.

The Tag is to compliment 5 of your friends. The Rules?

1. People you know offline/real life don't count.
2. Do not say something like "Their art rox!" At least say something more complex, and go into detail of why.
3. If you are one of the five people complimented, then you are TAGGED! Therefore you must take this quiz as well.
4. You can tag people other than those you mentioned, even deviants you know from offline.

:stupidangel: My newest friend here in DA who I found to have a sense of humour a lot like myself... FREAKIN AWESOME! I need to know more about her as I seem to have run out of thing to say LMAO!

:slashiepoo: Oh where can I start. A girl who writes some good ass poetry and is a good friend. I have a lot of respect for her and for all the shit she has to go through in life. A very smart girl who I love like a sister. I'm glad to have met her.... even if it was online hahaha.

:imogean17: A cool girl who needs to log onto DA more often. HAHAHA! She needs to update more stuff.

:Tetsusaiga1370: A long time watcher and the first outsider (besides "friends") on DA to watch my stuff. Always gave me support on my art and I enjoyed watching his art improve (even if they took forever for him to post up). Come back to DA Tetsusaiga, come back. T_T

I am unpopular and can only think of four.... ;_;

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

six random things about me, as required:

1.) I like to read books
2.) I love cats even though I have a mild allergic reaction to them if I don't take my medicine.
3.) I love my family
4.) I love to watch Japanese dramas with my mom (we get so hooked! XD)
5.) I am fortunate to have some cool ass friends
6.) I am a drawaholic. It keeps me sane.

I'm going to erase everything from my life and start anew.

But when shall I get the guts for this endeavor? Who knows.

But I'm sure all of you will know when this happens. And when this happens...

I'll become one of the most popular artists you've ever heard of.

The End.

Her art so sooo lovely and detail is just beautiful. Well, I entered her contest and guess what?

...

Ok, so I didn't exactly win first place, but I got runner-up and now I get to have my picture published in her book!!!!

But I need to make a better name than "Baika Liska Contest Entry" for a title. Hahaha.

I'm leaning towards Garden of Beauty but I'm not sure. Help me out please! Muchly appreciated!

*List 11 things you want to say to 11 different people.
*Don't say who they pertain to.
*Feel free to comment, but don't confirm or answer anything.
*Never discuss it again.

1. I never meant to hurt you. Truly I didn't. I must be some conceited bitch who wants too much. The talks we had, the one time we got to meet, it was so beautiful. I think about them all the time. I claim never to have been in love, but maybe with you I was. I want you to live a better life. Stop being the troublemaker you are. But as they say, old habits die hard don't they? Maybe if you straightened your life out, I can love you again. But you probably don't want that from me anymore so I should stop hoping, stop talking, and stop trying to wait for you and move on.

2. I was always jealous and envious of you. How did you always attract people when you do nothing special or attention grabbing at all? Now that I actually think about it, why were we even friends? But you always gave people a chance. I always got a chance. I think I was the worst friend you ever had. But you still stuck by me. We still talk from time to time. I feel like the worst for not saying happy birthday this year. I'm really sorry. You are such a special and cool person. Probably the coolest person ever. I even wanted to kiss you once hahaha. So now I've always wanted to say this. I hate you bitch.

3. What is it about you? I like you a lot. A LOT! You make me laugh and feel better when I'm down. But I wonder, do you really like me? Or do you just want to fuck me? Or maybe you jsut want to meet my roomates so you can hook up with them? I should stop beating around the bush and just ASK you for chrissakes but I'm such a coward it's ridiculous. I'm afraid the answer's going to be no. Like, you just like me as a friend. I think I bug you too much. I think you're just a nice person who puts up with my whining and complaining because you're just so nice like that. It's ridiculous. Sometimes, it seems soo obvious. But others it just seems like you just don't care. When will I know?

4. I think we met the oddest way. But I met someone good who's got so much shit in their life. Everytime I read it, I want to just magically show up next to you and just be there for you. Even though I've only talked to you through e-mail and deviantart and sometimes AIM, I can tell you're a good person and friend. It makes me wish you can be near me so we can hang out. Have fun together even though I'm quite a boring person. Hahaha. Someday, we'll be able to meet. We probably won't know what we're going to do, but we'll meet and be merry. Get something to eat, and I'll probably be sitting there in disbelief that I've finally gotten to meet you. Hopefully life for you will get better by this time. Actually, not hopefully, it WILL get better by the time we meet. And if it doesn't, then gosh dang it I will make it be better for you! Hahaha, or I'll try my best. I may not be in your highest ranking of friends. I might not even be the most caring of freinds, but if anything falls down, and no one's there to support you, I'll be here just so you know that. Love you like a sister.

5. I remember being in your class freshmen year and seeing you and thinking in my seat that you were cute. Yes, there was a little crush. But you didn't sem that social. Then again, I was never that social either so whatever. But I used to think you weren't nice because you didn't notice and say hi to me hahaha. I was a stupid freshman. Let's fast foward to two years later. You were now in TWO of my classes. I forgot how we exactly met. I think our teacher introduced us because we both had a passion for the same thing. And that's when we started talking. I don't how you took a liking to me when I was so quiet and shy. Maybe it was because I laughed so much from the stuff you said. But I had a blast in that class. Especially second semester. I looked forward to it almost everyday. You showed me that life can be so much fun even without drugs and alcohol. I look up to you so much. SO much. It really did hurt me when I upset you and disappointed you. I'm still keeping things from you because of the confrontations I don't want to deal with. I know that some of the things I believe contradict what you believe. I know that the experiences you had are something you want to keep me away from. But I'm not like those friends of yours. I'm not going to drink or smoke (definitely not smoke!) ALL the time or try to persuade you to do it too! It's dumb! It's ridiculous! There are some people I trust to drink... ]]> ~Polas http://Polas.deviantart.com/journal/10740465/ http://Polas.deviantart.com/journal/10740465/ Thu, 16 Nov 2006 01:19:34 PST
-New comic pages
-Can actually make my photos better looking (and better size)
-Can post the new stuff I've been working on

How dandy will that be?

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. What are YOU thankful for?

On a more personal note, I have discovered a very interesting underground band who sound pretty good. I hope I get to hear them again....mmm....

:EDIT:

I just wanted to post this blog from myspace because I thought it was pretty funny. But that's only if you know the song they're talking about.

" Dear Diary
Current mood: apathetic

:sounds of keyboard drum beats in the backround:
My head is spiralling downward. Today my throat was getting scratchy. I know that either tomorrow or the day after my throat is going to be all "stabby, rip, stab, stab!" and I'm not going to like it. I don't want to go to sleep in case of that happening. Maybe I should gargle my throat with salt water? A possibility. I wish I was a noncomformist too by not getting sick, but no it seems that the opposite is happening. Aaaah, the black abyss of sleep is trying to come claim me, but I still have homework to do! I really should get on it. I think I'm going to try not to sleep again tonight. It's going to be hard...but it can be done. Maybe contacts should come out too? Then I can put on my thick rimmed glasses hooray! Wait are they thick rimmed.... ? I forgot....oh well. I think I caught my sickness through my roomates. I mean can't two...or four sick roomates ensure that I'm going to get sick? I don't know diary. Sometimes I think someone's out to get me through sickness. It's sad. Well, I'm gonna start my homework. But just to let you know, you're my best friend.

.....

I feel like tacos.

(I can't put up the song I was listening to, but if you read through this blog, it should be apparent if you know my taste of humor. )"

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm kinda nervous and excited, I mean, I don't know who my roommate is going to be, or how they are going to be like. I don't even know how big of a space I have in my dorm room! Gaaah! The stress! I've been trying to clean my room, but I have to look through everything which makes my room take sooo much time. Grrness. Alrighty, I must sleep or do some more room packing stuff before tomorrow.

First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady

During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello".

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain

One night, at 11.30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him.

Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached.. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.


Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 -year-old boy entered a hotel
coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him

"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.

"Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.

"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins.

"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.

When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. there, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies.. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.


Fourth Important Lesson - The obstacle in Our Path

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.


Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her."
