I almost wish tomorrow wasn't Christmas, so I could cherish the month a bit more then I have. <br />I just got done wrapping all of my families presents, and I must say, cylinder are THE hardest things to wrap. Ever.<br /><br />Anybody have anything special planned for today/tomorrow? <br />My tradition is to have a big dinner on the Eve, open a few select presents late at night, then hang out in our pajamas the whole next day and enjoy the holiday and each others company <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I mean, what much can one do when they are sick and its cold and dismal outside? NOTHIN. Its pretty boring.<br />I'm thinking about breaking out my Sims 2 game to busy my mind and not have to do anything physically... if only I could find the install disk. ><<br /> <br />I have a question...what is the first thing on your Christmas list? It would be interesting to know what you guys are wanting! As for me, I would love a set of Copic markers, or...(dont laugh) a golf cart. I have always wanted one...they are so convenient and almost like a mini car.<br />So share your list! :3<br /><br /></div> ]]></description>

My stomach feels super weak, and just blegh. I think I got some kind of bug...hopefully a tums will take care of things. <br />One of my chickens got out and I haven't seen her since.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/cry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":cry:" title="Crying" /><br />My anxiety has been pretty bad as of recently. Most days I'm nervous for some reason, and its taking a tole on everything. Sleep has also been difficult...<br /><br />Since I stayed home because of my stomach, I figured I could scan some of my recent drawings and update things a bit. Then I come to find that my 3 month old Canon Pixma MP190 all in one printer majig can't freakin scan anything. It worked a MONTH ago! <br />It might have something to do with the "start up disk is almost full" bullcrap that has been popping up on my computer. So I deleted a bunch of stuff...still no luck. I'm going to try to reinstall my printer and see if that does anything. It may just be my super-full computer and not the scanner...but it is still a freaking headache. <br />I geuss I'm just gonna have to take pictures of my drawings....prepare for the crappy quality of them. :I<br /><br />THE ONLY GOOD NEWS...my birthday is in 5 days! I will be legally an adult! I'm going to try to go to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. I just hope that I feel better by then and my anxiety doesn't get the best of me.<br /><br />I hope everybody's Thanksgiving was fun...mine was!<br /><br /></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello all. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /><br />I managed to catch a cold, so I'm home from school. Its not that bad, although headaches and sneezes are frequent.<br />Sorry about the recent inactivity...I needed to take a break from the computer for a while.<br />Art has been pretty slow lately...I have actually invested most of my time into a fanfic. :sneaky:<br />I was also commissioned to do some pretty cool tattoo designs for somebody who plans on getting them tattooed. I was honored! I find that that is one of the best compliments you can give an artist.<br />My mom was talking about getting a monroe piercing a few days ago, so that got me thinking about them. I have always liked belly button piercing, I think they are beautiful and I wouldn't mind having one. I randomly asked my mom if she would pay for a piercing of mine if I decided to get one, and she strangely said she would.<br />So now I'm seriously contemplating getting a navel piercing. I am well aware of how long they take to heal, but most people have told me that the actual piercing doesn't hurt at all.<br />Is there anybody who can speak from experience with piercing? I would love to hear from it.<br /><br />Well, I'm gonna go take a nap now. Peace-out.<br /><br /><div class="heading2">Clubs of Greatness</div><br /><br /><a href="http://semi-sweeties.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/e/semi-sweeties.gif" alt=":iconsemi-sweeties:" title="semi-sweeties"/></a> <a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/u/cute-craft.gif" alt=":iconcute-craft:" title="cute-craft"/></a> <a href="http://artisanlist.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/r/artisanlist.gif" alt=":iconartisanlist:" title="artisanlist"/></a> <a href="http://pokedorks.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/o/pokedorks.gif" alt=":iconpokedorks:" title="pokedorks"/></a> <a href="http://gimmefeedback.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/i/gimmefeedback.gif?3" alt=":icongimmefeedback:" title="gimmefeedback"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Update: Peppermint has a home! My bf's grandparents choose to keep her. I'm so happy she finally has a family, and I am sure they will take great care of her.<br /><br />Today I came home from school starving, so I decided to use this caramel dip that my mom recently bought. You usually eat the stuff with apples, so I decided to chop up an apple and gob some caramel dip and peanut butter on the plate with them.<br />The thing is, apples have always made my stomach super upset if I eat them by themselves. I figured I was safe because I would be eating them with two other dippings, and so far my stomach isn't throwing a fit. Its strange- other people I have talked to about this say that apples don't do anything to them. <br />*shrug* I guess my stomach is just sensitive to their acid.<br />Which leads to my question: does your stomach have any "phobias", foods that it can't stand?<br />I think its interesting, because everybody is different, and a certain food somebody loves can make another person miserable.<br /><br />Has anybody heard of that crazy "balloon boy" story thats all over the news? I think the family that staged the whole thing is just desperate for some media attention....<br /><br /><div class="heading2">Clubs of Greatness</div><br /><br /><a href="http://semi-sweeties.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/e/semi-sweeties.gif" alt=":iconsemi-sweeties:" title="semi-sweeties"/></a> <a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/u/cute-craft.gif" alt=":iconcute-craft:" title="cute-craft"/></a> <a href="http://artisanlist.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/r/artisanlist.gif" alt=":iconartisanlist:" title="artisanlist"/></a> <a href="http://pokedorks.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/o/pokedorks.gif" alt=":iconpokedorks:" title="pokedorks"/></a> <a href="http://gimmefeedback.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/i/gimmefeedback.gif?3" alt=":icongimmefeedback:" title="gimmefeedback"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="heading">Peppermints Predicament</div><br /><br />You guys remember my last journal entry about Peppermint, right?<br />Well, we took her to the grandparents house and only granny was there. She told us to bring the kitten back today because she had to think about it and talk it over with grandpa.<br />I was really hoping that they would just take her...but that was only wishful thinking.<br />She needs a home, badly. Her wound is pusing quite a bit...hopefully it will drain on its own. Draining it manually would be very painful for her, so I'm nervous about it.<br />Peppermint needs some prayers, guys. I really hope she gets a wonderful home...<br /><br /><div class="heading">Paranormal Activity!</div><br /><br />I went to see the movie last night around five in the afternoon. We ended up being late by a half an hour, and the commercials were STILL playing. <br />Over all, the movie was truly scary. Not the gory kind of scary, but the creepy kind of scary. I personally liked it, but the end was so-so.<br />I wont spoil for those who wish to see it who haven't, but I personally didn't think it was a waste of money at all.<br />In fact, I couldn't go to sleep for a while when I woke up in the middle of the night. The creepiest parts kept playing over and over in my mind like a broken record. A scary movie hasn't done that to me in ages.<br /><br /><div class="heading2">Clubs of Greatness</div><br /><br /><a href="http://semi-sweeties.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/e/semi-sweeties.gif" alt=":iconsemi-sweeties:" title="semi-sweeties"/></a> <a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/u/cute-craft.gif" alt=":iconcute-craft:" title="cute-craft"/></a> <a href="http://artisanlist.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/r/artisanlist.gif" alt=":iconartisanlist:" title="artisanlist"/></a> <a href="http://pokedorks.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/o/pokedorks.gif" alt=":iconpokedorks:" title="pokedorks"/></a> <a href="http://gimmefeedback.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/i/gimmefeedback.gif?3" alt=":icongimmefeedback:" title="gimmefeedback"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ About a week ago, me and my bf were cruising the streets of this huge mile long garage sale. This little 9th grade girl comes up to me and him with this ADORABLE black kitten with green/blue eyes. She asked us if we wanted the cat. She said the poor thing nearly got ran over. My bf told her no, but a sudden urge told me to take the cat. Right as she was about to walk away, I told her I would take it.<br />So here I was, just walkin down the busy street with a scared and whailing kitten. People gave me some weird looks, but I didnt care.<br />I just knew it was up to me now to find the poor thing a nice home. I knew I couldnt keep it because I already have 4 cats, and my bf's family wouldnt allow it to stay because they arnt big cat people.<br />I ended up carrying her around the whole day because we had to do quite a few errands before returning home. I managed to set up a cage for her, along with her own litter box , food and water.<br /><br />After a few of her naps, we were able to see her true personality. Like all kittens, she is VERY playful. She is very talkative, and loves to cuddle. She is good with people, and if there is a lap available, she will take it. The name "Pepper" fits her well, because she has so much pep! So me and my bf settled on the name Peppermint.<br />She and my bf's sister's pitbull puppy love to play. They will tackle each-other and chase each-other around.<br /> During one of their  play sessions, the pitbull scratched or bit her near her ear. It was just a tiny little scratch, but it got infected and now the whole left side of her face is pretty swollen. I dont have the money to bring her to a vet, so I researched it and I am pretty sure she has an abscess, which is an infected wound that swells with puss. Me and my bf cleaned her cut, and the swelling looks to have gone  down quite a bit.<br />The great news is, she is going to meet my boyfriends grandparents, who have been looking for a kitten. They seem to take great care of their animals, so I'm excited about the meeting. They would also bring her to the vet if they chose to keep her.<br /> The only problem is her sharp claws...I have quite a few scratches from her pouncing on my hands. We will have to file them back a bit before the meeting. I really hope they fall in love with her like I did!<br /><br />(Agh...my membership expired. I will renew it soon...)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey yall ! *wave*<br /><br />So for the past few weeks it has been raining like a monsoon! I kid you not, its torrential downpours every day. And if its not that, then its cloudy. I have only gotten to see the sun a few times in the past few days. And during that down-poor period of about 2 weeks were all it did was RAIN, I got a little depressed. My mood would get extreme, and I just didn't feel like myself. Now that I think about it, I think my odd behavior was from an herbal mood support pill that I had stopped taking. Me and my bf both think I was suffering from mild withdrawal symptoms. Boy I'm glad that stuff has passed.<br /><br />As you can see, my journal is updated...I also plan on updating my avatar. If anybody is interested in doing a trade for a custom avatar, please tell me. :3<br /><br />Yesterday while I was reading a book, my bf calls me and tells me that he got robbed while he was at school. My mouth fell open and I was like NO WAAAAIIII, you HAVE to be kiddin. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/o/ohnoes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":ohnoes:" title="Oh Noes!" /> He wasnt. xC<br />Most of his dads expensive guns, his brothers xbox360, and his expensive Zune (mp3 player) were gone. They have a few suspects, but other people on the street got robbed too. <br />And I was thinkin...who DOES that? Who can just bust into sombodies house, steal all of the valuables they worked hard to aquire, and NOT feel the slightest bit guilty or bad for it?! I mean, you must be pretty desperate or something to be breaking in in the first place, but COME ON!!!!<br /> People piss me off. They really do.<br /><br />Clubs<br /><a href="http://semi-sweeties.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/e/semi-sweeties.gif" alt=":iconsemi-sweeties:" title="semi-sweeties"/></a> <a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/u/cute-craft.gif" alt=":iconcute-craft:" title="cute-craft"/></a> <a href="http://artisanlist.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/r/artisanlist.gif" alt=":iconartisanlist:" title="artisanlist"/></a> <a href="http://pokedorks.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/o/pokedorks.gif" alt=":iconpokedorks:" title="pokedorks"/></a> <a href="http://gimmefeedback.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/i/gimmefeedback.gif?2" alt=":icongimmefeedback:" title="gimmefeedback"/></a> <br />Stamps<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://CPDT.deviantart.com/art/Don-t-Shake-Emoticon-Stamps-110914494"><img src="http://fc00.deviantart.com/fs41/f/2009/027/b/3/Don__t_Shake_Emoticon_Stamps_by_CPDT.gif" width="147" height="71" /></a></span></span>  <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Godbird.deviantart.com/art/Bird-Lover-Stamp-44131912"><img src="http://fc09.deviantart.com/fs12/f/2006/337/5/7/Bird_Lover_Stamp_by_Godbird.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Kasia88.deviantart.com/art/On-the-street-121883563"><img src="http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs42/f/2009/128/8/9/89e0f5b8468b1fb95bec16c169a04168.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Feathers-of-Love.deviantart.com/art/I-Love-Tea-50940100"><img src="http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs13/f/2007/074/1/7/I_Love_Tea_by_Feathers_of_Love.gif" width="99" height="55" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://LeniR.deviantart.com/art/stamp-cat-lover-62530307"><img src="http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs21/f/2007/238/2/c/__stamp__cat_lover___by_LeniR.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://LeniR.deviantart.com/art/stamp-dog-lover-62530376"><img src="http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs20/f/2007/229/9/5/__stamp__dog_lover___by_LeniR.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://TheSilentNigma.deviantart.com/art/Sagittarius-Stamp-57490236"><img src="http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs18/f/2007/164/a/f/Sagittarius_Stamp_by_TheSilentNigma.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Ruin-HCI.deviantart.com/art/We-all-saw-this-coming-50460139"><img src="http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/067/d/1/We_all_saw_this_coming_by_Ruin_HCI.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Wakki.deviantart.com/art/PokeFAN-Stamp-37168351"><img src="http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs11/i/2006/211/f/2/PokeFAN_Stamp_by_Wakki.jpg" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://xNickixstockx.deviantart.com/art/I-Love-Rats-Sta... ]]></description>

Ugh, I got a case of artists block that wont seem to go away...I can draw stuff, but none of it pleases me. Can anybody relate to that, or is it just me?<br /><br />Its been peaceful around here lately. Like the calm of a humid day's lake waters. Relaxing, easy, and comforting. Its rare that things go this well!<br /><br />A week ago I got a cell phone after not having one for about 4 years. Its an LG Dare and its great. I love the thing! Texting is very easy for me now. I have dropped it twice so far, and it dosnt have a scratch on it. Its the best phone I have ever had!<br /><br />The carnival rolled into town 4 days ago and I got to go. Admission wasnt cheap, but I had a blast. My bf talked me into riding something called the "Gravitron" , despite my strong fear of roller coasters. VERY TRIPPY. I felt like my skull was slowly separating and my jaw was disconnecting from my head. It was not painful, just otherworldly. The thing was shaped like a giant top, and when you climbed in it, it spins you around and around at about 70 mph, but you cant tell your being spun. Not for the faint of heart or easily squeamish. <br /><br />And yes, I am doing that first 9 to comment = a feature thing!<br /><br /> For each of the 9 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.<br /><br /> If you answer, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing this way the list with 10 people. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!<br /><br /><br />1.<a href="http://mayuko-san.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/a/mayuko-san.jpg" alt=":iconmayuko-san:" title="mayuko-san"/></a> <br /> <a href="http://Mayuko-san.deviantart.com/art/Batman-is-in-the-house-97303011">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://Mayuko-san.deviantart.com/art/hey-ya-130859772">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://Mayuko-san.deviantart.com/art/It-s-Bob-SPONGEbob-XD-129375992">[link]</a><br /><br />2. <a href="http://morumoto.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/o/morumoto.gif" alt=":iconmorumoto:" title="morumoto"/></a><br /><a href="http://Morumoto.deviantart.com/art/Mulberry-Mouse-Plushie-1278745863.">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://Morumoto.deviantart.com/art/Grapes-are-Fun-626041134.">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://Morumoto.deviantart.com/art/Felt-Fruits-and-Veggies-847425555.">[link]</a><br /><br />6.<br />7.<br />8.<br />9.<br /><br /><br /><br />~~Art Trades~~<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /> Workin on a charm for <a href="http://werepenguin.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/e/werepenguin.jpg?2" alt=":iconwerepenguin:" title="werepenguin"/></a>!<br /><br />===Clubs===<br />   <a href="http://semi-sweeties.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/e/semi-sweeties.gif" alt=":iconsemi-sweeties:" title="semi-sweeties"/></a> <a href="http://cute-craft.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/u/cute-craft.gif" alt=":iconcute-craft:" title="cute-craft"/></a> <a href="http://artisanlist.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/r/artisanlist.gif" alt=":iconartisanlist:" title="artisanlist"/></a> <a href="http://pokedorks.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/o/pokedorks.gif" alt=":iconpokedorks:" title="pokedorks"/></a> <a href="http://gimmefeedback.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/i/gimmefeedback.gif" alt=":icongimmefeedback:" title="gimmefeedback"/></a><br /><br /><div class="title">Stamps</div><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://CPDT.deviantart.com/art/Don-t-Shake-Emoticon-Stamps-110914494"><img src="http://fc00.deviantart.com/fs41/f/2009/027/b/3/Don__t_Shake_Emoticon_Stamps_by_CPDT.gif" width="147" height="71" /></a></span></span>  <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Godbird.deviantart.com/art/Bird-Lover-Stamp-44131912"><img src="http://fc09.deviantart.com/fs12/f/2006/337/5/7/Bird_Lover_Stamp_by_Godbird.png" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Kasia88.deviantart.com/art/On-the-street-121883563"><img src="http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs42/f/2009/128/8/9/89e0f5b8468b1fb95bec16c169a04168.gif" width="99"... ]]></description>

I went to google something about half an hour ago and noticed the new Google image. It peeked my interest, so I decided to click it to see what it was about....turns out, a meteor shower is passing by and is expected to last till tonight and twilight tomarrow. I have always wanted to see a meteor shower! The best thing is, tonight is supposed to be clear! The full moon might mess the visibility up a little, but I cant wait! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Anybody else gonna watch it?<br /><br />Also...last night I found enough money for a nice scanner/printer/fax thing by Canon and got it! The thing is bigger then I thought it would be. The printer we have prints well, but the CD that came with it to install it on Macs went missing. I tried to download the software from the HP website, but that didn't support our Mac Os X 10.4.11.  Bah. ><<br />So now, my hopes are high for this scanner....I can finally load traditional works up and still have them look nice, and upload some sketches and possibly color them in photoshop. Which reminds me, anybody have any experience with coloring with photoshop? <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />Gonna install the new all in one when I get home from school!<br /><br /><br />For those of you that read the description to one of my works, Stress, the storm has finally passed, thank God. My bfs family is doing so much better. Everything has gone back to normal. I'm so relieved! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />I'm praying it stays that way.<br /><br /><br /> <div class="title"><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" />Artwise<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /></div><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /> Commisions are open!

I didnt get much sleep last night. Went to sleep at 3 am and woke up at  6 for school. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Only 3 hours. <br />Yep, school has already started for me, and today is the 3rd day. I like my schedule, except for my second hour. I dont like the people who sit around me, so the most I say in that class is about a sentence or two.<br /><br />Lately, the idea of posting one of my fanfics has been dancing around my head. I typed up a few chapters of one called The Great Outdoors, a pokemon one, and surprisingly got a lot of feedback and requests for more chapters. I lost my motivation  on the story and left fanfic for a long time. I was thinking maybe DA could encourage me again! The story is about a Glameow and a Poochyena who were kept as "house" pokemon (in other words, left in a small cottage to do what they want and not used for battling). Cabin fever sets in, and they decide to leave the place and go on an adventure that will change their lives forever. <br />Would you guys read it? I will post other fanfics over time, but that is beside the point...<br /><br />In other news...my husky, Sugar decides to go missing last night when severe storms are rolling through ><. My family is blaming it on me, but there is no way that I did it. They are too lazy to go looking for her, so that means I have to do it. <br />When she gets loose, she usually goes to our neighbors house because they have a few dogs that she has known since she was a puppy. I'm going to go Sugar hunting when I get home from school...hopefully she will be ok.<br /><br />Talk to yall later!<br /><br /><div class="title"><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" />Artwise<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /></div><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /> Commisions are open!

I was tempted, yes, but I remember I had heard it was just like Diamond and Pearl, only with a few more added features.  That disappointed me a little, so I wanted to see the ratings for this game. I did not google it, because usually game ratings can be a little discouraging and harsh , like on IGB for instance. <br /><br />Soooo, coming to the point! Did you think Platinum was worth the money? What are some of your fav aspects of the game?<br />Your opinion would be appreciated! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><br />So in other news...school starts on the 3rd of August. Isnt that freakin ridiculous?! I'm pretty sure my school is the only one in the flippin US that does this. *grumble*<br />Im going to be a senior, so this year might not be that bad...<br /><br /><div class="title"><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" />Artwise<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /></div><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /> Commisions are open!

The only pet I had for my own was a betta fish.<br />I just wanted to have an animal of some sort that I could bond with and take care of. Fishies are pretty to watch, but you cannot cuddle them, handle them, or really bond with them.<br />I got my parents to agree to letting me have 4 chickens for a few months. Then they would go off to live at my boyfriends house were a coop and run is being constructed for them.<br />Taking care of those chickens is a big part in my life right now, believe it or not. They keep me busy, and I dont feel like such a goodfornothing. It gives me a sense of ownership, pride, and responsibility.<br />But when they leave...there is gonna be a big hole in my heart. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/cry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":cry:" title="Crying" /><br />Thank goodness I still have some time left... I'm spending as much time with them as I can.<br />(They mean a ton to me, if you can tell...))<br /><br />There will be a lack of submissions for the next 4 days or so, but I will still be able to reply to you guys. I'm just gonna be super busy with building the coop and stuff. This coop is the biggest thing I have ever constructed!  <br />If I find time, I will make a little charm or two. If you have an idea for a charm, dont be afraid to tell me!<br /><br />Chow! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /><br /><div class="title"><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" />Artwise<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /></div><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /> Commisions are open!

To celebrate it, him, 3 of his friends, my boyfriend and I went and spent about 6 hours playing paint-ball. Man, was it fun! I had a freakin blast. I was surprisingly good at it, too, even though it was my first time.<br />Getting hit with paintballs hurt, but not that bad. They leave red marks, welts, but the pain didn't bother me much. Of course they hurt, but it wasn't very bad. Even someone with a low pain tolerance like me could play it.<br />CAUTION...the paint in paintballs tastes pretty nasty, and getting hit in the calf leaves a nasty mark/bruise. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/cry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":cry:" title="Crying" /> It hurts so much I have difficulty walking on it.<br />Has anybody else experienced the joys and pains of paintball, or wants to?<br />My bro also got a minibike for his birthday! The lucky turd.<br /><br />Oh, and I was tagged, so here we go!<br /><br /><br />Tagged by <a href="http://xoxsapphirexox.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/x/o/xoxsapphirexox.gif?6" alt=":iconxoxsapphirexox:" title="xoxsapphirexox"/></a><br />~RULES~<br />1.

Go to their pages and send a message saying that they've been tagged<br />5. No tag-returns XD<br /><br />1.) I can bend my left index finger all the way back <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/meow.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":meow:" title="Meow :3" /><br />2.) I fear spiders, rickety walking bridges, finding something watching me in the dark...<br />3.) I have 4 pet chickens.<br />4.) My zodiac sign is Sagittarius.<br />5.)

Spent the whole day with BF and family. Buying fireworks at the last minute, lighting them off, watching movies...I had a great time. We never got to light off the "finale" fireworks cause we got rained out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Have yet to do it still.<br /><br />How was your 4th? Do anything fantastic?<br /><br />(Ugh...I drank a bit of an energy drink earlier, and now my head hurts...*grumble*)<br /><br />Transformers 2 was a great movie. I would really like to go see it again. I have a few fav new characters from the movie as well. Already have a figure of him. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/meow.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":meow:" title="Meow :3" /><br /><br /><br />====Art Wise==== <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /> Commisions are open!

                <description><![CDATA[ Mmmkay. A few days ago, me and a bunch of guys at school were playing the game Egyptian War. Its a card game, and it involves slapping a deck a cards before another person.<br />I went to slap the deck of cards, and this other guy NAILS my hand and freaking snaps my finger nail almost all the way off. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":cry:" title="Crying" /><br />Dear gosh that was super painful. My nail is slowly growing back, but I couldnt stick my hand in water without intense pain for a few days. <br /><br />And this got me thinking about all of my past injuries that particularly painful. My concussion was the worst, and the 2nd most painful thing I have experienced would be that time when I got halapenyo juice in my eyes. ><<br /><br />So what about your injuries? I know some people do have some crazy accidents/experiences/injuries, so tell me about em. Its quite interesting to hear about those kinds of things.<br /><br />Yesterday night I went and saw the sequel to the Davinci Code, Angels and Demons. I missed about 15 minutes of the beginning, but it was pretty good. Some parts I was quite lost on, but overall it was good. I recommend that you go and see it on a rainy day or something to cure the boredom with. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br /><br />Artwise: Baking and painting a bunch of pieces, and looking to do another art-trade. I finally understand how to make a collage in photoshop, but I dont know how to make the pictures on the backround bigger. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mad.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":X" title=":X (Mad)" /> If somebody could give me some pointers on this, I would be very thankful. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fingerscrossed.gif" width="33" height="15" alt=":fingerscrossed:" title="I've got my fingers crossed." /><br /><br />====Art Wise==== <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /> Commisions are open!

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, the forest around my house is really coming alive. The trees are in full bloom, and about a thousand birds woke me up this morning. Yesterday was very humid and hot, and today is a little cooler, around 80 degrees. (thank goodness!) I didn't sleep all that great last night due to the temp and allergies. :C  I havn't had a good nights sleep because of my stupid nose clogging up.  My family is also coming down with the cold, and I might have gotten it too. Its not bad though, I've had worse. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br />Thought about going fishing today. In fact, I had a dream I went fishing in my pond and didn't catch a thing. :C lolz.<br />I've made a few more clay pieces that I will take a few pics of later on today.

                <description><![CDATA[ Sooo hello to everybody.<br /><br />Life as usual has gotten in the way of me posting any art. I have gotten back into the glorious material of polymer clay and plan to submit more projects that Ive been working on now that I finally have time for my hobbies.<br />Tomorrow is gonna be a GREAT day. I got a day of ISS because of PDA. All because of an innocent little goodbye kiss. :C As you can imagine, that really pissed me off. <br />Thunderstorms have been rolling through my county lately. A few days ago, my house nearly got blown away by a  tornado that was passing by. Sadly, other people weren't too fortunate. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />Had a great easter, and I hope everybody else did as well! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Requests and trades are open, as usual.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My best buddy got the stomach virus his brother had today.<br />I decided to ignore it and go over to his house to be with him anyway. Im glad I was there to comfort him, but getting that virus would be close to killing me. Ive got a mild form of diabetes, so not being able to keep down food or water would distroy my body. Also Im naturally skinny and loosing weight would be really unhealthy. :C<br />Im pretty anxious about it (HATE throwing up) but it wouldnt suprise me if I got it. Maybe God will give me a little miracle and keep me from getting sick. All I can do now is pray and wash my hands like crazy. :C<br /><br />Ick ><.<br /><br />Planning on making a few more pieces soon.<br /><br />Requests anybody??<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It all started out great. I had trouble finding some classes, but I met a few more new people.<br /> I go by Block Schedule, so here are my classes:<br /><br />1st: Physical Science<br />2nd: Geometry 2 (dear lord @_@)<br />3rd: Livestock Management<br />4th: Economics<br /><br />I was hoping I wouldn't have some certain people in some of my classes again, but unfortuantley...<br /><br />In my last hour, I did meet this strange guy. I hate people who are so frigan sarcastic that you don't know if they are messing with you or not. Its just impossible to tell if they are serious or not. <br />Well, this guy was just plain...weird. Like there was something about him that made you think he was mentally retarded, but your not completley sure.<br />So he said some really strange stuff to me that didn't even make sense. I didn't even know how to react to him. He said some stuff that bothered me, then got me in a downer-typed mood. If things couldn't get any worse, I happened to see this one guy...that I have had a history with. He gave me this look that...I don't know, it just made me feel worse.  I just ignored him and didn't even look in his direction. <br />After that, I felt even worse.<br /><br />And then while I was walking home from school, I started thinking about my past with this guy...and it made me so sad. I just felt like a complete loser for the stuff that has happened between me and him. Then, I just fell apart and went into this weird emotional breakdown. I have no idea were it came from, I just plopped down on the side of a country road and started bawling. I just felt so...so stupid for even attempting to have a 'relationship' with this guy, and I ended up trying too hard or something...it didn't end well.<br /><br />Now I just have a bad headache, but it may just be the thing women tend to get every month. It was so weird though...just all of these emotions came in and took over from nowhere. This has never really happened to me before, not this baddly.<br />Now I feel better though. I just hope tomorrow will be a better day. <br /><br />To lighten the mood, I found this little test that I will fill out of the heck of it.<br /><br />I think its called "The Stupidity Test" or something, lol xD I've done 73 out of 120 stupid things.<br /><br />Level 1<br />( ) Smoked A Cigarette<br />( ) Smoked A Cigar<br />( ) Kissed A Member Of The Same Sex<br />SO FAR:0<br /><br />Level 2<br />( ) Are / Been In Love<br />( ) Dumped someone<br />( ) Been Fired<br />(x) Been In A Fist Fight<br />SO FAR: 1<br /><br />Level 3<br />( ) Had A Crush On An Older Person<br />(x) Skipped Class<br />( ) Slept With A Co-worker<br />(x) Seen Someone / Something Die<br />SO FAR: 3<br /><br />Level 4<br />( ) Had / Have A Crush On One Of Your deviantART / sheezyart Friends<br />( ) Been To Paris<br />( ) Been To Spain<br />(x) Been On A Plane<br />( ) Thrown Up From Drinking<br />SO FAR: 4<br /><br />Level 5<br />(x) Eaten Sushi<br />(x) Been Snowboarding<br />(x) Met Someone Through Internet<br />( ) Been in a Mosh Pit<br />SO FAR: 7<br /><br />Level 6<br />( ) Been In An Abusive Relationship<br />( ) Taken Pain Killers<br />(x) Liked/loved Someone Who You Cant Have<br />(x) Laid On Your Back And Watched Cloud Shapes Go By<br />(x) Made A Snow Angel<br />SO FAR: 10<br /><br />Level 7<br />(x) Had A Tea Party<br />(x) Flown A Kite<br />(x) Built A Sand Castle<br />(x) Gone mudding<br />(x) Played Dress Up<br />SO FAR: 15<br /><br />Level 8<br />(x) Jumped Into A Pile Of Leaves<br />(x) Gone Sliding<br />(x) Cheated While Playing A Game<br />(x) Been Lonely<br />(x) Fallen Asleep At Work / School<br />SO far: 20<br /><br />Level 10<br />(x) Watched The Sun Set<br />( ) Felt An Earthquake<br />(x) Killed A Snake<br />SO FAR: 22<br /><br />Level 11<br />(x) Been Tickled<br />( ) Been Robbed / Vandalized<br />( ) Been cheated on<br />(x) Been Misunderstood<br />SO FAR: 24<br /><br />Level 12<br />(x) Won A Contest<br />( ) Been Suspended From School<br />(x) Had Detention (stupid tardies!!)<br />( ) Been In A Car / Motorcycle Accident<br />SO FAR: 26<br /><br />Level 13<br />( ) Had / Have Braces<br />( ) Eaten a whole pint of ice cream in one night<br />(x) Danced in the moonlight<br />SO FAR : 27<br /><br />Level 14<br />( ) Hated The Way You Look<br />(x) Witnessed A Crime<br />( ) Pole Danced<br />(x) Questioned Your Heart<br />( ) Been obsessed with post-it-notes<br />SO FAR: 29<br /><br />Level 15<br />(x) Squished Barefoot Through The Mud<br />( ) Been To The Opposite Side Of The World<br />(x) Swam In The Ocean<br />(x) Felt Like You Were Dying<br />SO FAR: 32<br /><br />Level 16<br />(x) Cried Yourself To Sleep<br />(x) Played Cops And Robbers<br />(x) Recently Colored With Crayons / Colored Pencils / Markers<br />( ) Sang Karaoke<br />( ) Paid For A Meal With Only Coins<br />SO FAR: 35<br /><br />Level 17<br />(x) Done Something You Told Yourself You Wouldn't<br />(x) Made Prank Phone Calls<br />(x) Laughed Until Som... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello, Ratatoie here. (gawd I wish I could change my user name) I know I have promised to update with stuff more often, but Ive been pretty lazy this summer and things never get done, although I got a crap load of stuff to take pics of and attempt to scan. I am once again in pokemon fetish mode, now that I rely on my DS for entertainment since the satellite has been turned off. Here are just some things that have happened around here this  summer so far for a quick update.<br /><br />-TV was canceled <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br />-got into pokemon again ><<br />-dogs foot was baddly injured<br />-dogs foot healed extremely well <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br />-broke out in a sudden violent rash for a few days...then it went away mysteriously<br />-dad got layed off <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />-made a few home improvements<br />-went to a few state parks<br />-got a new little blow up pool and metal detector <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />-little cousin came over<br />-went to church! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />-got a strange pustule between my fingers...REALLY freaky :S<br />-found out why my cat was balding on the insides of her legs...hormone imbalance/compulsive grooming :S<br />-brother went to florida for a week (heck yes!) <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />-went to see Journey to The Center of The Earth in 3D (pretty cute, but I still cant wait to see Wall-E and Hellboy!)<br />-brother came back <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />-killed a frigan baby rattlesnake...brother unloaded a bunch of airsoft pellets on it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />So there are just a few things that have happened thi s summer. I could go on for pages if I could remember them all! And its funny...I tend to think this summer has been somewhat boring...so far.<br />Soooo, to spice things up a bit and gain a bit more skills as an artist, I have decided to take on the dreaded 100 Challenge! *squee*<br />I will attempt to finish it with a number of medians and stuff, so it might not always be the same thing.<br />So, heres the list:<br /><br /><br />1.

                <description><![CDATA[ Its taken me a while, but a fair amount of drawings and clayish stuff has accumulated and are now in the waiting line for taking pictures. Saddly, I still dont know how to work my crapy little scanner, so I guess pics of drawings will have to do. <br /><br />I have some bad news about my beautiful dog, Sugar, the one you see here....<br /><------------<br />Well, about a week ago, a day before memorial day, Sugar was over at our neighbors house, pestering them and getting into their garbage and stuff. Just being a little pest. They called and told my family that they wanted her off their land. My brother was sent to retreive her, and he had the bright idea to bring the ATV and try to hold her on it as he drove. (We live about a mile away from there house out in the country...quite a walk) So he went to get her and managed to keep her on the thing while on his way back home. He was going somewere around 3 miles an hour when she started yelping like crazy. My brother stopped and dropped her, and came to find her foot got caut in its chain and grinded off about two of her toes. There was  blood everywere. She ran off into a field, shocked and bleeding. My brother came back, got my dad, and they went to pick her up with our truck. I had gotten news about the fiasco and prayed she wansnt seriously hurt, that she had just fallen off the thing and was just shocked...well, things were a little worse. My whole family held her down and washed the foot off in water, and it was a gruesome sight. The first knuckle bone of her foot was just sticking out, hanging there...ugh. It was horrible. The next day, my dad brought her to the vet and they managed to trim back her exposed bone and stitch together the grinded away skin so it would heal correctly. They put a proper cast on the foot, but a day later she tore it off. So we had to make do and use socks as a breathable cast. She is doing good now, and the foot looks a lot better. Its still red and bleeds a tiny bit, but it has really improved in the path of a week. We keep the foot very clean, but its hard because she really wants to lick it. Every day we soak the foot in warm water, dry it, spray some Bactine on it, dry it, then put some gell stuff the vet perscribed her and dry it. We put 1 to 2 boys socks over the foot, then wrap some gauze around the ankle of the sock. The whole process is like pulling teeth because we need at least 3 people to hold her down. Sometimes while nobody is looking, she tears the socks off and licks the foot like crazy, and we have to do the whole thing over again. *sigh* Its a pain, but she is tolerating it more every day. She should be back on it in a few weeks, and eventually go back to her normal out-door-dog life. Thats what we are hoping for. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> In the meantime, she just hangs out on the porch or inside. She goes for a short walk everyday to get some of that husky energy out lol. She lives like a queen now, getting rawhide bones every day, toys, and LOTS of love from everybody. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

They are hard work, but after a week of practicing every day, I have finally come up with some good results! I hope to post em soon!<br />Im trying to get back into sketching...its something I have neglected and I plan to get a lot better at lol. <br />And I got a look at my pageviews...wow! 3,300!

                <description><![CDATA[ There are a lot of "fads" here on DA. i was sifting through some art, and by chance came across a TMNT drawing. Seeing that, I remembered how I used to watch the old cartoon over and over again. I loved em! My fav was Leo or Don or somethin...anywayz, that reminded me of my great love for the cartoon, seeing as how it was part of my child hood and what I grew up with. So here i am, 10 years later, once again into TMNT. GAWD. Once something gets in my mind, I cant get it out. I miss the turtles so much! I was hyped from seeing the Transformers movie (still is) and now THIS. Those turtles are awesome though. Something about them is timeless! A classic. So now Im a converted TMNT fan/artist. Dont be surprised if you see more favs of them and some possible drawings...*crawls back into cave*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay. So I have noticed a perculiar behavior in my pet cockatiel lately. Its name is Sunny, and we dont know for sure if it is a male or a female yet. We would have to get its blood tested to be entirely sure. But from what it does, we think it is a he. Here is the reason.<br />
A while back (bout 2 weeks or so) I noticed that Sunny was making some odd noises while I was washing the dishes. i look over and he is sitting in his water bowl, making these wierd high-pitched chirps I have never heard him make before. I thought this was extremely cute, so I went up to him and crooned to him told him how stinkin cute he was. I walked away thinking he just noticed how fun it would be to have a bath in his little water bowl. Well. He did this thing again and again, and only a little while ago did I notice what he was REALLY doing. Heh. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> My family has came to a conclusion after witnessing this display of behavior have decided that he wasnt merely taking a bath. We look in the water bowl and see white stuff floating around in it...it..its just plain gross. I was horrified to see that my own little bird was "pleasuring" himself right in front of us. I couldnt think of what else he could have been doing! HE could in fact be a SHE, but I dont even wanna think of that...so yeah. Every time I see him doing that in his water bowl I poke him and scold him. <br />
So I geuss I have to live with a masturbating bird now.  <br />
...<br />
Aint that grand? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
<br />
Well, on lighter news my brother was being a prick and decided to steal the go-cart right before I was about to go for a spin on it and do a little off-roading. I threw my shoe at him and landed it square on his face. I had to run for my life and lock the door behind me before he sped off on it...lol. <br />
<br />
So thats my life at the momment. When my brother comes home he will find that all of the doors are locked...he he he. *evilness*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ FINALLY. MOVED. OUT. OF. THE. SHITHOLE!!!! Yes, out of the crappy, tinny, smelly apartment. Praise the lord. XD<br />
<br />
Im so happy now...moved to a beautiful log cabin-ish house, complete with 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, spiral staircase, all crome appliances, and granite countertops. My family has worked so....freakin....HARD for this house....it took a full year to finally complete it.The house of our dreams. FINALLY. Here.<br />
<br />
The house still has isnt completely fisished though...still have to add the trim to the windows and un-pack everything. There are mountains of boxes in every room, lol. <br />
<br />
YEAH. and Sugar the puppy is now a Teen, almost full grown and has hit her first ovulatioin period...(oh how embarrassing...) and we plan to have her spayed tomarrow. She is a full outside dog now, and is unlike regular huskies. She dosnt roam, and stays very close to the house at all times. She never leaves, and when I come home from school, she is always in the same exact spot on our deck, waiting for me and my brother to walk up the driveway.<br />
<br />
All is well. For once, in two years, things have subsided, even though the house itself still has some major work to be done on it. The stress has melted from our bodies, and the atmosphere of the house itself is peacefull and light. Alll is well. For now.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah...a lot has happened since I got back from my Canada vacation. I got my puppy, Sugar. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> She is a handful, to put it lightly. I havnt done anything artistic in a long time because of a certain someone who needs to be constantly watched*looks resetfully at innocent puppy*. And I saw the new Transformers movie. <br />
<br />
LOVED IT. I was blown away by how cool it was. My all time fav character was Bumblebee. Hes just so cute! He seems to act more human then any of the other characters in the movie. You also get to know his personality the most. Im now a new transformers fan and just got the game and it is fun. (I get to be Bumblebee! Yay!!!) I wanna do some fan art, but the robot designs were so frigan detailed I would never be able to do it. But now I long to have an awesome camaro...damn.  Im already counting down the days till it comes out on DVD, but that all the way in December, probably around Christmas. Dang it. I hate wainting!!! >.<<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ugh. i have a major back ache and a bad break out of acne. And it wont go away!!! <br />
I was looking through a magazine and saw a product called Zeno that looked really promising. It gave me new hope! No matter how much stuff I try i cant get rid of my acne. Its not bad, it just wont improve. The thing is the product costs 149 woppers and walgreens is sold out of the stuff. Ugh. I have been living in my TV room this whole summer so far...its too hot to go outside and my bad breakout prevents me from goin to the poolto swim. When I get my face wet the zits look worse. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=(" title="=( (Sad)" /> Im going to beg my dad into gettin this stuff for me cause he has this same thing when he was my age. He said blemishes are a sort of "right of passage" of being a teenager. <br />
<br />
im having a bit of an aritist block to make thing worse.  Im taking a break from making charms for a while. i still have to do a photo shoot of a few i made two weeks ago. Also all of my attention has been directed to my Cockatiel sunny and my new game: DIAMOND VERSION! Its so fun. Got it a few days ago. <br />
<br />
Well, not much more to say...my cockatiel has given me some motivations to draw. Like some pixel art or something. More stuff to come, hopefully...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It feels as if Im melting in my own skin. Tennessee is going through a bit of a drought right now and it hasnt rained in weeks and every day it reaches 90 degrees or over. Luckily a pool opened thats near by. WHEW. *wipes sweat off upper lip* Im defidently going swimming later. <br />
<br />
I have been working my butt off on charms and trying to get good pictures. I really need a good camera. I have a cheap cam-quarter, but the picture gets blurry when you try to take something up close. And its the camera itself. Well there is more to come as soon as I get something cool to drink...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay Im so happy! I was surfing dev and came across some fantastic little clay figures that are so cute and adorbale called "charms." I have always loved to make things out of clay, especially sculpey clay. i found out how to make some of those things and was so thrilled! Oborochan has some awesome charms and i decided to use her amazing art as an inspiration, even create my own version of charms. This is the perfect activity for me to do over the long summer days. About my last entry, well, I think my parents are actually going to get a puppy. I overheard my mom talking to some people and it sounds like we are going to get one. Things are looking alot better then they did. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /> Its nice to see things improving!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello, havnt posted anything for a while. It seems school and everything else has caut up to me...but luckly school is out now! YESSSSSSS! Lately, Ive been goin through some rough times...*VENTING***<br />
My parents had promised me they would get me a husky puppy.  It  has blue eyes and a fluffy white coat. Then suddenly they decide not to get one. I have been reading about Huskies for months now and am so hyped up in getting one and they know that. I basically hate my mom right now. Me and my brother were fighting and she suddenly said NO PUPPY and I about blew a gasket. That pisses me off to no extent . They promised my family one...and then to go back on their word like that just....RAGGHH. I know huskies can be a lot of work, but Im prepared for it. I have learned so much about em. I have been working my butt off cleaning and showing responsibility  to try to get my mom to see that I am ready for one. She is blind to it, but their still is a slight chance that we will adopt the husky puppy. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ This Easter started out with a bang!<br />
<br />
I was sleeping in my room when I heard my parents say Henry, one of my cats, was missing. This was already horrible news. Henry has always loved the outdoors, and he has a knack for escaping. But when he sets a paw outside the door... he comes to find that everything is different. He hasnt been outside ever since we moved , about 6 months. Hes an inside cat, but he used to be an outside cat. <br />
Yesterday night, my brother had a friend over. He stayed till bout 11 at night then left when my family started watching a movie. He just so happens to have a very bad habit of leaving doors open. Well, he left our front door open when he left and the whole night, Henry was outside in 20 degree weather. <br />
So as I ran out of bed to find my parents talking about it and getting their jackets on to find him, I made a note to give that kid a serious gilt trip. I was wandering around outside in a panic, thinking about all of the horrbile things that might happen to him.<br />
We live in the city, and busy streets suround our neighborhood. He could be smashed by a car, laying helplessly on the road in agony... he could be frozen to death in some alley... some person might find him and not put up ' found' posters... he could be miles and miles away in some neighborhood... a dog ripped him to shreds...by that point I was crying and thinking the odds were impossible for him to still be alive. I noticed I was wandering around the neighborhod in my penguin pajamas and ran home to quickly change into black sweats. This gave me time to think about were to look for him. I decided Henry was a wise cat, and being that he would be scared out of his mind, I decided to think like a cat. "If I were a cat like Henry, lost some were in the darkness, coldness, and everything is unfamilliar... I would hide some were quiet, away from animals and people, some were close to a building not too populated..." So I went to the neighborhood clubhouse. It has a pool and stuff, and there is a little gated square that had the pool machine and heater and stuff in it... I slipped through a crack in the gate that surounded it and called his name... I looked around then noticed a brown cat nose peeking under the gate from the outside of the gate. I could feel my heart jump. "Henry...?" He answerd with his loud, deep yowl. I ran around and scared him,so he ran away... I geuss I was too excited and spooked him. I finally calmed down and  carried him to my mom who was near by. I called the rest of my family over and I told them all my story of thinkin like a cat and stuff. <br />
<br />
And the first thing Henry did when he got inside was dodge the excited dog and dug his face into the food bowl...lol.<br />
<br />
I also had an Easter egg hunt ( it just isnt Easter with out one... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /> ) and found a brilliant, pink-lemonade colored Nintendo DS. And that, to note, was the best thing Ive ever gotten for easter. My brother found a C02 airsoft gun. Later, I went to walmart to get my very first DS game, Nintendogs. That is a very fun game. I couldnt decide between getting Pokemon Mystery Dungeon that every bodies been raving about, or Nintendogs, what I have wanted for the longest time. I decided I would return and get Mystery Dungeon the next time I have saved enough money.<br />
<br />
<br />
I tell you what, I willl never forget this Easter. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ YESSS! I finally loaded my stuff here ! Yay! Im so happy! It took a while, but it was worth it...<br />
<br />
Tomarrow is Easter! Another yay! I might get the Nintendo DS tomarrow...I know I sound greedy, but I cant stop thinking about it! I asked my mom if I should just forget about it and stop talking about it, but she said "Dont forget about it, just stop talking about it." XD<br />
<br />
Alright, Im gonna try to draw other stuff besides pokemon. You see, I have a reason for drawing pokemon. When I was a little kid, I wanted so bad to draw pokemon but I wasnt too good at it... now I have developed my skills, I can fulfill my childhood dream of sorts...lol. Call it an excuse, but I still love to draw all the same.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay! My school has the day off for good friday. So I will be able to look around for a bit on dev. I also found my camera charger for my camera and took some pics of my pics and I will load them on here soon. Its been a pain lately with my pictures because I had to tear apart my room to find my camera charger. Argh. Well at the momment Im working on a new picture of mine. It wil be done by the end of the day.<br />
<br />
 Not much to say today...I was waiting all morning for my brother to be done with the computer. As soon as he wakes up he has to go on the computer and stays on it for a good 5 hours. He cranks up the music while Im trying to watch tv and refuses to turn it down..hes a little pain. <br />
<br />
Ive been really wanting a Nintendo DS so bad and easter would be my chance to get one. Ive been sucking up to my parents alot and doing some major house work. The problem is is that we are building a house at the moment and its costing alot of money. Just this morning I cleaned the whole house. All I can do is hope that my work pays off...lol.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok. I was grounded yesterday because I missed the bus. Yeah, I know, stupid. The frigan scanner ended up needing a drive to work on my laptop and I couldnt find it, tried downloading it from the internet but that didnt work either. So Im stuck with the camera option. Ugrh hopfully I will be able to load some pictues on here today.Im still pretty new to this stuff, so my mom will have to teach me how to resize photos and stuff. Confusing. But I heard the photo option was the easiest and quickest way to post pics. I dunno.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My day just plain sucked. Go figure, its Monday. To make a long story short: My allergies have been killing me.<br />
I skipped class with a friend because I wasnt feeling well and saw my English teacher twice. My friend sniched on me cause I wasnt in class. One of my friends asked this guy who I used to like if he liked me back and he said some very awful things. And that dude used to have a very big crush on me. I also forgot to do a presontation.<br />
This day could not get any worse...<br />
I just need a hug right now...<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, about the scanner...<br />
Yesterday I drew something new and really wanted it scan but it was already too late at night and my dad only knows how the hook up the dang thing to the laptop so I have to wait till he gets home. <br />
<br />
Blarg. <br />
<br />
What can I say... its Monday. |:[<br /><br /> ]]></description>
