DA RULES: The game resembles tag, you can pick 6 people who you want to tag except, you can't tag the person whom tagged you or the same person from the same quiz. Stealing is available from the quiz, just put the user name where it belongs too or where you have seen it before. There are only 6 questions, then you pick 6 people when you are done answering the questions. Make sure you copy and paste this when you are tagged! The person does NOT HAVE TO DO THIS QUIZ IF THEY DO NOT WISH TO. The test is currently about YOUR character, don't borrow/steal/rip off of anybody else's character. Enjoy~

1. Whats your characters full name?
puri - purgon draple
shuku - shukuen akamaru
bis - biscuit (it was the first thing he ate on earth :])
dallas - dallas connelly
nero - nero hodge
aero - aero blakaon
ralf - ralf keiner jr iv

2. Is your character married/have a crush?
puri used to have a crush on dallas and then kevin but those have subsided x3 aero also used to have a crush on puri

3. What is your characters orientation?
puri - she's friendly and really hyper sometimes, she's fun to be around with and values friendships

shuku - a creature full of wisdom; thinks before he acts; never known to be hurtful unless in battle which is rare; has a good imagination; thinks with his heart; will die for the ones he loves

aero - a really smart guy who knows his way with electronics and how they work; friendly, but has to get to know somebody before a solid friendship is made; loyal and willing to help when needed; shy around girls, but he loves puri the most :3

dallas - the leader type; has a smart-alic and sarcastic way; overall he's a good kid who simply loves the more exciting side of life

nero - keeps to himself most of the time, but holds a good conversation; slow to make friends but when he does, they become lifelong allies, but one would be marked for death if he is ever doublecrossed; also smart-alic and sarcastic

kevin - a laid back, calm character .. not much is known about him other than he's kinda cute :3

ralf - a rambunctious little faerie dragon who always has a smile o his face; very very hyper but not necessarily to the point of annoyance

bis - a happy little star creature whose job is friendship and companionship; extremely loyal

4. Characters A/S/P/DOB
puri - 16/female/p stands for what?/ I don't really use birthdays for my chars, and I really wish I could remember the day I first drew puri, it was sometime in 6th grade .. but I suppose I'll use my actual birthday for her, so oct 10

puri: of course, she's my best buddeh, I mean after all, she did make me right?

aero: yeah, I wish I could meet her D:

dallas: uhmm y'know I like her and all but .. the whole making me into a dragon thing without telling me is kinda creepy .. but it works. I have a switchblade. >D

nero: as long as I have italian colours on me somewhere I'll love her

shuku: of course I love her, she's my little sister :3

kevin: SAVE ME.

ralf: yes yes I do indeed love her lots ^,^

bis: *squeaks in approval and nods with an elated smile*

// thanks to =IsoTheDragonKing for the subbies!

the main purpose of this entry is really just to say thank you, thank you SO much to =IsoTheDragonKing for being so generous in offering me not one but 2 subscriptions to da, I'm really grateful, and as much as he'll tell me to hush, I'm so incredibly sorry that I'm disgustingly late with my end of the deal. I of course will, I want them to be good so it's not like I'm going to rush and throw it on da .. I do need to use my time wisely and get them done though, and I'm going to work towards that.

I've learned, though, to keep commissions open only during the summer. but what I've got listed will get done.

and once more I very much appreciate your services, Iso, and it makes me happy that such generous people can be found here.

// thanks to =IsoTheDragonKing for the subbies!

I sincerely apologize for not having updated my journal, but more importantly, my gallery. I've been extremely busy for a month now, and I know you're thinking, it's thanksgiving break, why don't you actually show us that you still know how to draw a straight line. I'm really sorry to =IsoTheDragonKing and ~bnbuehler who have been so patient with me, I really am sorry I haven't been able to work on your commissions, I really am. it's just that all the schoolwork keeps rolling on in (lol evita reference, nobody but *DarkSpyroIke will get it) and I don't mean to blame it all the time on school, but really, that's all it is that's holding me back. I have all honours classes except for religion because everyone's track 2 and health/pe. whether it's an essay to write for history, a huge test I'm still going to fail no matter how hard I study for chem, 50 question hand written study guide for religion, or problems upon problems of geometry which I don't understand half the time, it's always something. lately it hasn't been the only factor, I've been depressed for about three weeks now .. not an issue I'd like to delve into right here, but if you must know, I update my livejournal nearly every day, and it's got some entries about it. I'm starting to get over it but it's still really hard. the depression has turned more away from him and more towards myself, how much I just flat out suck and fail at life.

anyway. I'm really really _really_ sorry that I haven't been active here, and back to my point about it being thanksgiving yet still I'm not active - my history teacher gave us a 15 page packet of worksheets to do, lots of reading, lots of writing, due monday. *sigh* it's impossible for me to have one enjoyable holiday.

whoosh, I hath been tagged by to give you 10 little facts about me! x3

1. the sexiest thing in the world to me is an ice hockey goalie fight. I mean come on, they strip each other! it's so cute because of all the gear they wear~ x3

2. I have a fetish for guys with buzzed heads and I can't help it. some long haired gents are also very cute, but the image always reminds me of guys on a beach, and since I hate the beach, I guess I don't go for it. that's my theory anyways xD

3. it bothers me a whole damn lot when people call me obsessed (ie, over antero or over kevin), because I honestly don't try that hard; it's just a lot of observing. for antero, I just found and compiled a lot of stuff about him , and sure, maybe saving a lot of pics *cough300cough* of him is a bit much, but the info I know on him (like fav/least fav food) was just found through research. and kevin, I just memorized his liscence plate, that's all. it's pretty easy for me

4. I love to sing to itunes when I'm alone in front of my computer, and I feel it's when I sing best, like I need the tune. I can't sing any other time, not even in the shower .. but I try.

5. I'm pretty slim, but I need more than anything to exercise; we took our body fat percentages in health class and I'll just say that mine was in the "poor" section of the chart ..

6. I absolutely positively hate rap to death, but I must confess, there are a few very awesome rap songs out there that are on my ipod.

7. I also hate country music, but I think guys in cowboy hats are hot.

8. I love the sight of snow, especially when it hasn't been touched.

9. I think philadelphia is one of the most beautiful cities, and even though I only go into the city for phantoms games, I consider it my home away from home.

10. the one thing I hold closest to my heart (besides my religion), is friendship, because I wouldn't be anywhere or anyone without my friends, and I am extremely grateful for them all and how they manage to stick with me through some rough times or simply some blonde moments x3 love ya guys

YAY now I get to tag 6 people >D


NOW, if you were tagged, you don't have to do this if you dun wanna, and if you weren't tagged, well you've escaped me this time! but if you wanna take this out of boredom, feel free. :3

lol 2 hits from 4k pageviews, I -just- now noticed this.

you know what's sad?

sep 21, 2006 - 4 hits

total. that's how bad school is affecting my da life xD

so I'll assume everyone has seen these new css journal things going around? I want ooonnee ~ especially 'cause I'm starting not to like my journal image anymore. I'm sure I'd be able to figure it out if I got a code to study from, but then comes in the problem that WHERE the hell do I get the time to make it? exactly, so, hopefully I can get some important submissions in on the terra nova days to clear off some stuff from my plate.

smorgleflorf :[ I studied all day and make a bajillion file cards that my brain is just totally dead. I don't even know any of the information, and I should be studying instead of typing up this journal. D:

random thought: one'a these days I am so gunna hold a contest ..

[ quote of the day ]

"tokko paikalla on kipeys, paikalla on kipeys" - antero niittymaki
"if there is pain, there is pain"

words to live by.

-----

wow this week was really freaking long ..

I have so many tests on monday .. this sucks D:

[_] study english (native americans/puritan test)
[_] study history (SO many freaking european rulers to remember ..)
[_] study chem (going to fail)
[_] religion questions .. the test is tuesday and I need them done this weekend .. I have 31/50 done
[_] study spanish .. hoping I can pull my grades up, I got an 84 and a 79 on the quizzes .. this test is on the same material
[_] actually maintaining a life during all of this

everything's pretty much depressing right now; all the work I have to do, the phils losing last night and needing to win the rest (3?) of their games in order to win the wild card race (yeah not gunna happen, ryan hasn't hit a homer in like 8 games ..), no hockey still for a week (I'm dyyiiinnggg)

and I'm sosososo sorry I haven't been able to draw lately .. I know I still have to finish my commish (wow I am soso sorry it's taking forever iso >_< ) and seriously I gotta get my requests and gifts done. blargh! not gonna happen for this weekend but maybe I can make very small progress?

*****

if anybody knows of a deviant or website filled with awesome cityscape (preferrably nighttime) or city life, that would rock if you could link me .. and a nighttime cityscape of philly would totally kick ass and earn you reward points.

*****

if I'm cool enough, I'll actually take my camera to a phantoms game and get the shot of center city I like; I found a spot that would make a nice photo of the wachovia center and center city in it together. and I'm pretty sure the spectrum was in there too x3 but I know nothing about photo manipualting in photoshop other than taking multiple pictures and merging them together for sky effects! 8D

yeah I dunno why I'm obsessed with the idea of finding the ideal photo of center philly. :3

Mood: tired .. again
Listening to: pearl jam - unemployable

school started yesterday, and for the first time, I don't think I wanted summer to end at all. my schedule is pretty good, I'm only running across the school to go to gym. I have some pretty crap teachers, but I guess I'll get used to it in time.

I got yelled at for the length of my skort on the very first freaking day. that really pisses me off. I know plently of girls who hike the damn thing all the way up their ass, and mine's only 4 inches above the knee. btw, used to be max 3 inches, now it's 1. lmfao, like that's going to happen. but I hate it because those girls always get away with it and I was yelled at because I have long legs ..

first period is english, where my original teacher retired and this new woman mrs muller is teaching, and she sounds like she's going to lead a pretty tough course, but she's really cool. there's 4 books we're going to have to read during the year .. which sucks .. and essays to write .. *sigh*

second is history, and everyone ranted about how terrible mrs rivers is, but so far, she's been fine .. maybe it's because I have her early and nobody's managed to piss her off yet .. but she has an odd accent that sounds like slurs.

third lunch, which is okay .. but the past few days when I ate I haven't felt that good, like I'm hungry but when I eat I might get sick .. I guess I'll just have to get used to it.

fourth is chem, and honestly, I don't think I'm going to enjoy it as much as I thought I would. it looks like there's going to be a lot of math played into it, and I dread math with a passion .. the labs will be fun, but other than that and especially tests, not so much.

fifth is religion, mr peterson is boring and gives lectures on stuff the whole time, which actually I can follow and listen to without getting too bored. he's already given us 3 assignments, a 2 page autobiography about stuff our friends would know so to build a good teacher-student relationship (weird, right), 4 short essays, and 35 or so study guide questions. oh and the test is on the 20th. this class is going to move so slow just because he goes on and on and ON about stuff. but it's kinda funny, his mouth and when he talks reminds me of a koopa troopa from mario. and when he gets really into his speeches, at the end of his sentence he'll place a quiet "mkay" like mr mackey from south park.

sixth is geometry, which is hella fun with mr fidalgo. it's good that I have him, so hopefully he'll keep me attentative in class since I hate math and suck at it.

seventh is pe/health. I'm starting off the year with health first, switching to gym next quarter, and so on. this sucks because I can't stop at my locker after lunch at all, so I have to carry 5 subjects worth of books. I tried using my flyers bag my grandmother made for me to carry stuff, but it broke in chem .. the loop that held the string came off completely, which actually I was expecting .. hopefully she'll be able to fix it. anyways, being taught health by a man will be hella weird.

last is spanish, which is alright I guess. I used to sit in the back right corner last year but now I'm in the front left, where I'll be called on more, and it's cold. it's funny, I told mr hardy to go to prestonandsteve.com to hear the "espanol (that's spanish for spanish)" song, and there's like, cleavage corner and crap on there. he's gunna be like, "wth." I think he really will try to look for it, he seemed interested when I was telling him about it.

and that's it. at lunch today I had to sign out to go take my id picture taken (since my last year one was -supposedly- in too bad of a condition to return to me [or my homeroom teacher screwed me over and now I have to pay 20 bucks for a new one]), and while I did my english teacher watched me write my signature; after she saw my little shooting star for the i's, she pointed and said it was really cute. I said, "oh thanks, mr halligan never liked it, my english teacher last year" and she replied, "oh, yeah, he doesn't seem like he would like that stuff." I was kind of caught by that remark, like, she knows him? that's pretty cool .. I never got around to emailing him to find out how he was doing with the police academy like I told everyone and myself I would. I'd still like to congratulate him when he graduates sometime in november, maybe she might hav... ]]> ~Purp1eDragon http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/9974764/ http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/9974764/ Tue, 05 Sep 2006 09:10:07 PDT

Listening to: audioslave - original fire

missions completed: 32/100

storms missions were easy to complete, I only have one gold, but oh well. I have all the treasures except for the one you get in babylon garden; I can't seem to hop onto that extra rail. the repair manuals are quite confusing though. that sure is a lot of junk I have to collect for them.

wave's missions are so much harder though. I honestly don't think I can LAND ANYTHING WITH CREAM. I can't do squat with her.

damnit I still have to unlock the 2 sega tracks. this game won't be beaten for years.

I haven't been drawing much lately, but the next thing I'm going to submit is my commish for iso.

I can't believe school is on thursday ... I want to go back but I don't. :[

I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow. I can't wait. I freaking hate my hair. it's so wavy, long, and ugly. :[

Listening to: poets of the fall - desire

so ernesto is going to hit today/all week, resulting in lots of thunder storms, which means I probably won't be online as often. I really can't believe it's september already .. ugh. I'm ready for school, since I've been really bored these past few days. since I'm stuck in story mode for sr, I figured I'd better start completing some of the missions. woo, 14/100 done. but I really don't understand the whole treasure thing; I collected the 2 boxes on the grinding rails mission, but I checked the treasure thing and they weren't there. *sigh* I also destroyed the 7 tower thingies in sand ruins, but I could understand if I missed the treasure and didn't collect it .. holy crap I have to unlock both sega tracks before I get jet's missions? o_o wow this is going to be impossible. D:

so I have another commish to do for =IsoTheDragonKing! ^^ I'm going to be doing a few chibi pics of iso and his girl amethese. :3

Listening to: poets of the fall - desire

okay, I totally want to start a drawn comic called "shanascrews." it's all I could think about last night, seeing as I went to bed at 11:30 and couldn't fall asleep until 3:30. I've already got a few ideas for some strips, (starring ~DarkSpyroIke, ~mr-eb and our friend burger and .. other people from school) but I'm just worried that once I start it I won't be able to keep up with it on a schedule. I also know that I'm not that witty when it comes to comics and I need a sleepless night to come up with some that I think are only decent. but either way, I really want to start a drawn comic, but I also know that I suck at drawing humans. blargh.

and sky road is impossible, bottom line. I _can not_ pull off perfect jumps, I don't know what's wrong with me. in splash canyon, the only reason I can make it onto that ramp is by riding a turbulence. it's pretty sad, I've memorized that track. go get 100 ring box, go slow and wait for turbulence, 70% of the time I can make the jump. but I figure the turbulence is the only way I can ever make a perfect jump, like I have to be going top speed. I usually boost before my jumps, but I need boost + turbulence. *ker-sigh*

YES. THANK JESUS. I FINALLY BEAT WHITE CAVE TODAY. and I never got that 3 web shortcut. >< but it was SO WEIRD, I watched the replay because I was proud (but still angry; cause I was like, yelling at the bots the whole time "YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU CAN FREAKING DIE. ROBOTS CAN NOW DIE.") but as the replay was going, on the second lap, jet started doing shit that I didn't do. he started falling off the course -multiple- times, hitting walls, loping around, my reaplay jet was freaking drunk or something. I started getting really freaked out when he didn't ride the second grinding rail, which I know I did, because I rode both rails all 3 laps. that was hella weird.

so now for dark desert, which I keep coming in at 3-4, but at least it's more interesting than white cave and more fun.

it's kyrii day on neo? no avatar? bullshit. :[

Mood: tired

yess, I beat the heroes story earlier today around 6. I never got a big lead during babylon garden, and I did screw up a few times. I had to fully break for the third sharp turn for 2/3 laps (the first lap I rode a turbulence). gah! but man that unlocked a lot of shit o.O I liked playing as jet with the blue skates (sorry I dunno the name). I managed to time a jump perfectly for maximum height, which I wish I could do more often. my favourite course is splash canyon, and I've always wanted to get onto that elevated shortcut to the river. I managed to for the first time today as wave, jet, and rouge ^-^

but if anybody has tips for timing perfect jumps, please help @-@

hooray for more stuff to buy from the shop. :3

ugh I need to draw some of my stuff from my to-do list before school. D:

I was tagged by for this ^^

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.


I honestly don't know what I would do without jonny. he's improved my art by making me use my tablet, but he's also made me a better and happier person since I met him. he introduced me to opencanvas where we draw together and have so much fun that we have no idea how much time has passed. ^-^ he's a true friend, I can tell just because of how well we got along the first day we spoke. I am truely honoured to have jonny as one of my best friends.


nobody is the most humble person I've ever met in my life, which you can probably tell by his dragon's name. x3 but really, he is the sweetest and most innocent guy I'll probably ever know. he's so generous, ready to work hard on anything you request from him. he's really a great spriter and artist even though he denies being the best. he's made my experience on da really enjoyable and I love seeing his comments. I love ya nobody!


sb and I met a while back on this pokemon rpg forum called ghost tower (which still exists) and we clicked right away. I just can't count all the good times we had until GT grew boring. we lost each other for a while, but then I think she found me on da! we're just really great friends on da and neopets and it was good to have found somebody like me on gt, which was my first forum, so I was like, a noob. xD


I don't know if this one would count because I have talked to her in real life, but I originally met her here on da. ericha is like my phantoms hockey buddy! x3 I searched for antero niittymaki in the search engine and I got one of her photos of him~ of course I faved it right away, and I left a comment on her page. in return she sent me a very friendly note and soon we had a good time sending lengthy notes about phantoms hockey to each other! ^^ then one day at the spectrum I was just spacing out in the hall and she was like, 'kathy, hi!" and it was really neat to have met her. we didn't talk long since the next period was going to start soon. she's just a really awesome person and her snapshots are beautiful, so you should go check them out.


I saved trig for last because he's my newest friend here on da, and he's just one of the coolest guys you will ever come across. x3 he sent me an im the day I left for my vacation, and we were quick to start up a convo, but it was cut short because I had to go. I really wanted to stay because I loved talking with him and I wanted to oc seshy with him at that moment. x3 we still have to have an oc together, trig! but we were so quick to click that there's no way I could leave him out... ]]> ~Purp1eDragon http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/9838569/ http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/9838569/ Thu, 24 Aug 2006 11:53:36 PDT

Mood: bored

well I got a 100 on my book test, so that makes a perfect decline of 100, 95, and 90. I got there and it was packed, so I waited with 3 of my friends and ~DarkSpyroIke (who came late x3) and talked to my history teacher from last year. I wished I had my roster so I could go check out my schedule, since I saw multiple people in the halls just outside the library, but my teacher said there's a teacher's meeting going on or summat, so nobody could enter the halls. later that night I went to see "accepted" with ricky, ricky, nicky, jimmy, hilary, megan, and ~DarkSpyroIke and seriously I laughed my ass off.

I can't stand riding as knuckles in SR anymore, he goes too slow now that I've grown attached to jet .. and now I'm just working on buying all the boards from the shop and earning practice at the same time because I'm at babylon garden and I keep flying off the track because I'm going so fast @-@

I really need to start drawing stuff .. D:

I just played sonic riders on my own ps2 (rather than playing at pat's house against him and his brother) and I love it~ I played as knuckles just because he kicks ass. I took a look in the shop at the boards and I'm interested in the auto air .. shit I already forget the name of it xD but its description said it did the turns automatically - and I just want to clarify, are the turns it does the ones where you have to hold r1 down? 'cause I hate and suck at those turns, so if this board does 'em on its own, that's mah board 8D but other than that I thought I'd try to get technical and boost the lower areas of knuckles (since I'll probably be playing as him for the whole thing) like speed, so I might get a speed board.

OKAY end sonic riders rant.

I have to study for my summer reading test on 'the pearl' 'cause the test is tomorrow. last year we didn't have to take a test on the required book, we just had to write a paper on it. *sigh* this year we probably have to do both. .-. but I found the sparknotes for it and it has analysis and everything, why didn't I do that last year?

Mood: blank
Listening to: pearl jam - come back

well here's all the more interesting things I did last week on my vacation .. it's rather long so I'll mark it off ~

///

so yeah I went with my friend maggie to the beach *gasp* yes, I went to the beach. we stayed in a trailer home (I've been down there with her before) with no electronics .. only a tv with which we watched movies, that was it. so I apologize in advance for any typos, it feels weird to be typing again.

well we went to the pool and I burned the very first day. of course. I hate my skin, I can't do anything to it to make myself look better; no makeup, no tanning, nothing. I'm still peeling as I sit here and it sucks, I had the opportunity to get a henna tattoo from a really cute guy on the boardwalk, but the peelingness is disgusting.

so other than that, we visited some people in ocean city, maryland and went to the beach there, but I only sat on the sand in my clothes and covered over in a blanket. I'm sure I looked like a retard and I even caught a trio of girls staring and pointing at me, but what the hell was I supposed to do? my sunburn hurt like hell and I didn't want any more of it.

so then another night maggie drove us home to the trailer since she needed some hours in for her test and whatnot, and this jackass was riding on her ass from the super market. he pulled around us, pulled over on the side and yelled out, "get of the road MFers" and then worked his way up the line of cars to ride on our ass again. he was following us, so maggie pulled into a random driveway crooked. the guy stopped, peered into our windows for what seemed like forever, and just drove off. maggie's mom had told her to pull all the way in the driveway, but I thought it was better that she didn't - if she had, the guy could have followed us in and trapped us, so .. gah. whatever, it was scary.

hmm skipping some boring stuff, we went to this cool waterpark that was rediculously expensive ($20) to get into, but it was still fun.

and then we went to rehoboth beach and the boardwalk last night. maggie and I went on a couple rides, including the paratrooper - sort of like a crooked ferris wheel that went a little faster, and backwards, too. there was this really cute guy sitting in the kiddie's jungle-climby-thing (he worked there and must have been hella bored) and he was kinda watching me and maggie on the ride. he waved to us and we waved back. then when the ride was over, we were coming down the get unloaded, and I took one last look at him and he waved; I didn't know if he was waving at me because during the ride it looked like he was trying to talk to somebody else on the ride, maybe somebody he knew. anyways, I just smiled to be safe, turned to maggie to tell her he was looking at us. we looked up at him and he waved again so we both waved. then the employee opened the door to our ride and maggie like fell out practically xDD so yep we looked like retards in front of that cute guy. it was sort of a morale booster for me, a cute and (probably) older guy found interest in me, my appearance. that lasted about 5 minutes, when I saw this other guy checking out maggie and then took one look at me and just kinda looked away. *sigh*

so that about sums up the interesting things we did during the course of the week. I also had a really weird dream that I guess I'll save for another entry later ... but my teacher mr halligan was in it again. actually he wasn't in it, but I like called his cell and left a voicemail or something. I've had like 4 dreams with him in them though o__O

... so I missed you guys!!

///

yay ^-^ so other than missing a whole week of phillies games, I missed *Triggerd's birthday D: and *JonnyAMax's birthday is coming up!~ so I've got some drawing to do x3 ughhh I'm afraid I'm going to suck with my tablet again .. about 4 days into the week I was like, 'crap, I haven't drawn anything!" 'cause like, twice before I totally lost my puri-drawing abilities. >_>' but I doodled a puri head, kevin, and some rico fennecs! ^-^ then I drew some more stuff like a mickey mouse thingy which I scanned last night and might post in scraps later. ;0 so yeah that's about it .. and my dad got me sonic riders on ebay, woo, I suck... ]]> ~Purp1eDragon http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/9794417/ http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/9794417/ Sun, 20 Aug 2006 15:28:25 PDT

Mood: bored

ugh my ipod started freaking out again yesterday, not updating again. has that happened to anybody else? this is the second time for me and fixing it is such a pain in the ass. last time all I had to do was reinstall itunes from the cd that came with my ipod (the latest version from the website won't install properly for me for some reason), and everything was okay. this time I had to reinstall itunes again but also reset my ipod to factory settings, risking losing all my songs off of it if it still wouldn't update after that. you know what I mean, like risking baleting some sngs off of it while trying to get more, and having none instead of some. blargh. but luckily it worked, but next time it pulls this crap again I'm going to scream. :[

other than that, nothing really .. I have to get ready and pack for the shore ... I hope my bathing suit still fits me. .-.

humm so *JonnyAMax said I should make char sheets .. which I thought was a good idea. I've thought of making them before but I just never got around to it. I guess I'll do that when I come home from vacation.

oh yeah! da is totally going crazy. the desktop screenshot, random favourites, and friends display aren't working for me. I dunno if they still have bugs to work out, but the friends box just like, disappeared today. D:

well I guess I got the commish done tonight! I'm starved though, I skipped dinner, so I guess I'm having a late one. x3

but I'm relieved to have the commish done, and I really hope it's worthy of a commish.

but yeah I'm leaving friday night for the shore (even though I hate beaches .. but I'm like the whitest person ever, I really need some colour), so ... man I miss taranne!

okay so this is a pointless post. x3

so my friend just called up and she invited me to go to the shore with her for a week! I'm leaving fridee I think.

so I guess that means the commish is going to be done by tomorrow, bottom line. through packing and whatnot. but it should be all good, all I have left is that colouring. ^^

so I get a pay back on all my friends who left me this week for vacation. >=3

I like the new organization, the quick drop-down list to your friends (since before you had to go through a series of clicks to see what was online atm, and even at that the text was getting cut off the screen for me), but most of all I think I like the new search; I put puri in and actually found more of my stuff, rather than a bunch of crap that didn't relate (though there was still some of that). so, to make yourself a little happier about the layout, put your char's name in the search bar. I already tried jtoonz for *JonnyAMax and I got a lot of the scraps I made and a bunch of his stuff and more. x3

but what I really don't like is how it shows you last 2 favourites. I really liked the random faves, maybe they still have to work on that, because there are still a lot of bugs. one, which is bothering me, is that I can't clear my message centre .. which is really annoying, it's goingto build up really badly before they fix it .. and they slightly changed the background colour of the journals and such, so journal pics and da id's everywhere are going to be changed. WELL guess what, I won't, because with my stupid computer crashing and all, I lost all my .psd files. T_T *groans* oh well, you really can't tell the difference in the background colours, right? ..

blah, anyways, I'm starved, going to work on my commish after. tah!

EDIT: I'm just making these little updates so =IsoTheDragonKing knows that work is being done x3 .. anyways, I got the platform done and I think it rocks for my standards and it turned out so much better than my test doodle of it. xD after I fix up little stray sketches (which takes like an hour to fix up the lineart, I'm such a perfectionist o_O) then I'll me ready to colour, so this is going smoothly! *knocks on wood*

on a side note, damn, I've gotten nearly 200 hits today! god knows how that happened, probably 'cause I went on an espio faving rampage xD but thanks to everyone who visits daily, especially today! ^_^

Mood: relieved
Listening to: poets of the fall - roses

well I got down isotope's pose - whew! I think I was just having a bad day yesterday. but this pose I think is cute ^-^

but now my problem is - well, I can't tell you x3 it's something I've never really drawn before, but I doodled it and I liked how it came out, so all should go smoothly. xP if I could find a reference for this platform which iso will be standing on, then that would be even better :0

but I'm just really happy I got the body done. so it's about 40% done according to my legend, but the colouring and highlighting goes so much faster because I enjoy colouring in photoshop. x3

okay, so! I'm hungry.

Mood: artist block'd
Listening to: pearl jam - parachutes

man, why am I having a tough time posing drawings lately? like I'm trying to get my commission for =IsoTheDragonKing drawn, I have a good head, but I'm blocked for the pose. I must have tried like 7 poses already x( it'll come to me, but by the time it does I'll be too tired or something to draw it. D:

yeah so that's about it. pointless post, bored, trying to think of a pose as isotope's head hovers alone on the opencanvas sheet xD oyes and I got mehself some stamps. are you supposed to link back to the actual deviation? oops. :[

Mood: squee!
Listening to: everclear - father of mine

woo my first journal with a subby! I've spent most of my morning trying to see all the stuff I can do, it's really interesting. I whipped up that header in like 20 minutes so I could mess around with journal abilities.

so I took my summer reading test and I got a 90%, which I'm pretty happy with. the next book to read is "the pearl" and it's pretty boring, I'm already halfway done it and the only testing date left is august 23. ugh the teachers are going to have a field day with this book. "what did this symbolize?!" ... and that just made me think of mr halligan .. I wonder how he's doing with his police school and all. he'll be doneski sometime in november.

anyways I gotta get to work on =IsoTheDragonKing's request because he already bought my subby! :0 that'll be the next thing I do, I promise promise (yes, x2) within this week, somebody slap me each day I don't connect my tablet to my compy. xD

so yeah my desktop wallpaper section on my page got baleted? weird .. and I wish there was a way I could pick the friends to show in the 'my friends' box; a lot of the icons showing up are people I just watch for their art and don't really talk to. I mean, ~DarkSpyroIke isn't on the shortened list! I need her there.

that should do it for now. squee, I hope all the journal things I did work. xD

but ~NO-Body-The-Dragon, I hate to bother you, but I need the link to the puri sheet again since it wasn't backed up. sorry.

ANYways, on to MUCH brighter news - =IsoTheDragonKing has very generously offered me a 3 month subscription in return for a request of his draggie. I can't thank him enough! ^_^ so that will be my next submission to da, whenever that comes, but definitely before friday.

I've got another summer reading test to study for, this time on the book "bleachers." my friend took the test on it and said the questions were really vague. I hope I get a good score ...

but in the mean time, I have to redownload and reinstall everything .. I'm having a hard time trying to remember all my bookmarks.

bahh, so school is busy busy busy. I have a math quiz and a bio test tomorrow. btw, for my bio class, tests are huge. I got an 80 on the last one. ><' gah. but I think I'm pretty good for this one ... then again, that's what I said for the last one, too.

ugh. MATH. my average is an 80 ... and wow that really freaking SUCKS. all my other grades are 95s, so it kinda proves that mr finley
does indeed
SUCK.

other than that, school is great. I was gunna go to our battle of the bands tomorrow, but turns out caela and carolyn are having a sleepover birthday party for the gang. the news came to me at such short notice that I have no presents for either of them and I don't exactly have time to go out and get something worthwhile. sorry girls.

yeah so I'm supposed to be studying for bio.
*continues to rock out to winamp*
the most upbeat song is playing: modest mouse - float on
so yeah, I'm pretty much in a good mood even though I've got loads of homework for this weekend.

first period. mr halli gave us the last 15 minutes to do our homework, but like, it should be optional, right? it's my own time. I can never do homework when I'm in class for some reason. like is spanish, mr hardy will let us start our little packets but I can _never_ do them in class because I just forget everything. it's like I get a wave of stupid. but then when I go home I'll have it done in like, 2 minutes. so anyway, I don't like doing homework in class because for some reason I am just unable. so I turn back a page in my notebook and just work on the litle doodle I had goin earlier, bolding the outlines and stuff - btw I'll scan it soon - and I can feel his presence upon me. dare not I to look, 'cause that'd be giving it away! so I played along. I kept doodling, he kept watching stationary in one spot .. I dunno maybe a minute or two went by and he's like, "wann try starting your homework?" and I wanted to be like, "no, not really." but I mean, he's cool and all, sometimes, but I was just kinda in a bad mood from the start of the day, so I looked at him, smiled, and harshly turned the page and started BSing the homework.

second period. I hate math so why bother explaining it. our homework tonight that wasn't even taught to us is going to be on the quiz tomorrow. this quiz will probably have roughly 6-8 problems on it, meaning if you screw one up, you screw your grade over. peachy.

third period. I don't really like art class. it's annoying for some reason. it just is.

fourth period. oh joy, more bio crap to do. let's see, two craploads of homework, a family pedigree, research on cystic fibrosis (thank you wikipedia), and probably more stuff that just wants to take up my time.

lunch. so for our freshman social we have to get this card signed by the discipline and tuition offices. so I go with a group of friends to the main office to get it signed for the tuition part. well, you have to have your tuition up to date, while they _just_ sent a new fee and my mom was like, "I'll have that into the office for you so you can get your card signed" so I thought it was all good. so, of course, this old nun is crawling from one side of the room to the other to check if each person is up to date, so that in itself was taking forever. the mass of people wasn't all that bad, but it still took forever. so of course, why explain in great detail, of course my tuition isn't up to date because of one stupid fee. I didn't bother going to the discipline office because I was hungry and wanted to freaking EAT. which I got to do. for 10 minutes. I felt sick for the rest of the day and it's wearing away now.

sixth period. since religion class isn't tracked, there are a lot of retards in my class. specifically, one guy who is really obnoxious and will interrupt at any time - oh, wait, interrupt what, exactly? we don't learn anything. then there are two girls who _constantly_ whine and it's so freaking annoying. so fr cox is trying to tell us our homework and here's one of the girls, whining yet again, and so fr cox is getting pretty pissed and he doubled the homework. my whole corner of the room was getting really confused because of the brat, so I raised my hand and asked, "seriously, what is our real homework? because I can't stand or hear over her whining."

seventh period. spanish class is a drag, but my corner's fun with anthony and sarah. today anthony told me some kid riley knew about a certain secret flower deleivered to a certain teacher from a certain secret student on valentines' day. this kid sounds familiar. what class of mine is he in? I'm pretty sure the teacher'll find out. he seemed pretty pissed when he got the delivery. lovely!

eighth period. tired and unwilling to take notes for world history. this class is still a lot of fun 'cause here and there I can put out a really good joke once in a while. mr hetherington makes the class worthwhile. but I like, couldn't feel my pinky and that whole side of my left hand for somereason. it had that tingly feeling like it was asleep. I tried rubbing it, but it didn't work and as I type this it still feels like pins and needles. awesome!

dismissal. this was the only good part of my day, really. I nailed john with a snowball outside. megan, who was trailing me to the bus, heard john say as he walked by, "wtf, I just got owned by kathy k."

oh, yes. ]]> ~Purp1eDragon http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/7837610/ http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/7837610/ Wed, 08 Feb 2006 13:02:57 PST

he was added to Finland's roster on friday, but the news was just released later today. he hasn't talked with the coach yet, and he doesn't know if he'll be the starter or not.

|| "I was hoping to go, and now that I get a chance to go it should be fun," Niittymaki said.
He said he has not talked to the coach yet about who will be playing.
"We will see when we get closer. I do think I played well enough to earn a spot there," he said. ||

Maybe it's for the better; considering I've been lacking daily (but that's a bit much to ask, right? I'll say weekly) updates since the day I registered, barely ever write in this journal (other than for random spurts of ways to express how unusually hyper I am at the given moment), and basically, I never do anything interactive here anyway. Maybe I'm just a bunch of bullshit right now, but I'm never ever going to submit anything anymore. I don't draw as much as I should. I probably won't even go anywhere with this talent ... oh boy, look how depressing I've become. x_X

I'll give you this much: If I draw anything I really like, I'll consider submitting it. But since that rarely happens, I'll probably just spend my days sitting in front of the computer trying to think of something to do. I know, I'm so pathetic.

But what I've found is that I'm not that great artist as everyone tells me I am. No, don't worry, I'm not going to give up. But I guess you could say I'm damn near. o0

To tell you all the truth, I really have no clue where I'm going with this. I guess the bottom line is that I wanted to say that I'm going to clear most (if not all) of my artwork from this account, and probably never ever use it again, but probably only to see what my friends have drawn.

So I guess this is goodbye.

... oh God, how emo. >_>'' ]]> ~Purp1eDragon http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/5696288/ http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/5696288/ Sun, 19 Jun 2005 16:18:46 PDT ~Purp1eDragon http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/5502678/ http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/5502678/ Mon, 30 May 2005 13:41:15 PDT

Yeah I actually got time to draw junk.

... yeah. ]]> ~Purp1eDragon http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/3301402/ http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/3301402/ Mon, 06 Sep 2004 15:29:25 PDT
(Actually just the people whose work I fav)

For some reason my comments never show up ... at least not for me. I feel really stupid when it happens. Like I fav but don't express my appreciation for the work. It's just not right. But I do -try- to comment. Grawr @ DA for not letting them show up for some reason. Maybe they do for you guys. I hope they do.

So if you are an artist whose work I have faved, but there is no comment from me, please know that if I faved it I obviously love it. Not as much as "among.the.clouds.", (drawn by ~meradragon) though, that one is my ultimate fav.

Uhm ... that's it. :> ]]> ~Purp1eDragon http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/3277617/ http://Purp1eDragon.deviantart.com/journal/3277617/ Fri, 03 Sep 2004 11:55:31 PDT ~Purp1eDragon
