My apologies to all those waiting on stuff. I had a rather upsetting thing happen to me recently, and I feel like I need to take some time to reflect. Please do not worry, (Though I know a majority of people just don't care) but for those that will, I thank you.

I've been extremely busy and all with college and Ive been forced to put my time for art on the backburner. Doesn't help my scanner is busted. XD

Anyways, my prayers and thoughts go out to you all. And remember, you only have one life to live. MAke sure to get out and enjoy the autumn, yah? (For those that are currently not in autumn season, just GET OUT AND ENJOY WHATEVER SEASON IT MAY BE. sheesh.)

Love to my Deviantfellows,


Mei


P.S It's beautiful when you smile.

So I decided to donate my, down to my waist-length hair for Locks of Love.

Since were sorta short cash wise, my mom agreed to cut it for me. (Keep in mind my mom is by no means a professional hair stylist or barber.)

So I ended up wearing a garbage bag in the kitchen my hair braided and all set to be cut off.

Mom said "whoops".

And now my hair is sloped from the front to the back. longer in the front and shorter in the back. 3 inches above my shoulders.

...


THIS IS WEIRD.

I keep brushing my hand back and...there's no hair. XD

No but seriously, I LOVE IT. THE FREEDOM. THE ABILITY TO SLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON OUTSIDE UNDER THE SKY. THE FREE INTERNET. THE PIGEONS WHO I HAVE BECOME FRIENDS WITH. AND THE SQUIRRELS.

Anyways, to summarize my vacation...

Went camping, got super badly sunburned, fought computer virus for two days and won, (HELLZ YEAH.) spent time with friends, had gaming night with friends, attacked random six year old who I thought was my baby cousin, hugged a random stranger because he looked like he needed it, attacked friends car, caught some fish, watched a meteor shower, had skirmish with family, went through some trying, sad and frustrating days, drew a bit, was attacked by cousins, went to the shooting range, and somewhere in the midst of it all, baked a cheesecake. Yum.

I hope you are all well. ^_^

1. post these rules
2. each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to tag eight people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. go to their pages and tell them they were tagged.
5. no tag-backs!

1. I am currently 17 and to young to get a proper job. D:<

2. I have a pet turtle, a pet fish, and a pet rock. Their names are Rocky, (not the rock) Bait, (also not the rock) and Metamorpho-Ignis-Sedimentum. (The rock)

3. I have waist length, long dark-bron hair which I will promptly all chop off next week. I also have simple, dog-poop brown eyes. =_= (which stinks cause my dad has blue eyes and I am constantly attacking his face and screaming at his genes for not giving me them as well. )

4. I enjoy archery, swordsmanship, martial arts, parkour, tae kwon do, haikido, marksmanship, riflery, and practicing my "ninja-sneaky skills" on unsuspecting guests/friends/strangers. (Extra points if you get them to jump or swear.)

5. I am a firm christian and a beleiver of Jesus Christ; I however, did not become christian simply through family, but by taking my own "spiritual journey", investigating many religions and studying many types of beleifs. I also beleive in paranormal activity; albeit, Im not so sure on the dead people hanging around, but more like the "memories" or emotions that may be left behind in areas were extreme pain or suffering or evil may have been. (Anybody been to Grayfriar's? )

6. I love games! (PC, game systems, board games, stupid games, you name it)

7. I like wolves, bears, falcolns, elephants, giraffes, antelope, gazelles, lions, tigers, cats, dogs, secretary birds, venemous emerald tree vipers, some snakes, barracudas, dolphins, whales, cougars, foxes, sparrows, hawks, doves, crows, bugs of all sorts, tarantulas, weaver birds, komodo dragons, turtles, goldfish, parakeets, mastiffs, parrots, and...well, etc. etc.

8. I have the combined attention span of half a dozen five-year olds in a "All-You-Can-Eat" Candy store. =_=

I found a journal entry I wrote awhile ago that is reflective on what Im feeling now...


oOo

I was happy not to long ago, But just like everything, it seems, it comes and goes. This sadness, this frustration, and even this anger too, will eventually go. But they leave scars. And those never go.

Today I visited two graves of people that were dear to me. One looked like nobody had been there for a long time. The grass had grown up around the marble base and leaves had covered the name. I saw the remnants of a colored pencil I had left from my last visit, too long ago. The weather and sun had crumbled it to dust. It was his favorite color, blue.

I pried back the grass with my fingernails, the dirt getting underneath them. It had very shallow roots, since it couldn't grow with only the stone beneath. Swept away the leaves, but I accidently spread the blue powder everywhere. I left it. He liked blue.

The second grave looked better. Their were even withered flowers there, dry and dead. I buried them beside it and replaced them with the dandelions I picked from the grass. An old memory.

It was strangely, comfortingly odd.

Most people don't like graveyards. Most people cry when they visit their deceased loved ones.

I smiled.

I can't explain it, and I never will be able to. I felt completely calm. Even when I went to my very first funeral, my sweet baby cousin. As I stood in that chill miserable January afternoon, watching as they put a tiny box into the cold, frozen ground. I felt numb and confused and yet even so young, I could feel the shame welling inside me. I had sworn the moment I laid my eyes on him in the nursery I would protect him, the very first tiny family I had seen born. And die. I did not understand death then. I still don't. I was mad at everything, at God, at the sky for pouring out it miserable mist of sleet, at the doctors who were too late, at life and death, even at my aunt, as if it was somehow her fault. But mostly I was disgusted with myself. With the way I was so angry at everything, almost on the verge of hating. But deep down I knew. I knew that I had failed him somehow. I hadn't protected him. I could have done, something. I know now that all I could do was be alive and with him when he was slipping out of my grasp and past my fingertips.

I wanted to go sleddding with him that winter with the never-ending cold. I wanted to teach him all the things nobody was around or seemed to have time or even cared to teach me. That their was no boogeyman if you weren't afraid of the dark. That pop rocks and soda doesn't make you explode. I wanted to guard him from bullies, but teach him to fight his own battles. I wanted that.

So today I stood before those graves. I have two little cousins , his younger brother and sister. Even now I feel like Im failing them, I dont see them as much as Id like. But I know Id do anything for them.

So far away.

I finally figured out after a long painful way in which I nearly lost my life at my own hands that I had to live. I have to. I was born fighting for life and I intend to leave this world the same way. that is the true irony of man. The constant, exhausting struggle till we break. My dad once told me when a good old family friend passed, "People don't die. Their crushed into the ground under the weight of accumulated sorrows." I didnt understand then.

So to me, or whomever, whenever you may come across this again, don't forget. Fight. Everyday. Get outside at least once a day; the sky you see above you is a one of a kind masterpiece. You will never see that exact same sky again. Smile. Appreciate everything too much. But most of all don't take the people you care about for granted. Don't take yourself for granted. God made you and gave you something to do and its up to you to find out what. I beleive with all my heart that we, not just you but everyone has a reason, a purpose, and that no matter how small it may seem, its important. Someone out there needs you.

So I stand over six feet down to a corpse. And thats just it. Its nothing. Its just the shell of the perosn. In time, itll turn to dust, the headstone will crumble away to rubble. And people will forget that you were ever here, but what's important is you were. What did you do with it? And if you look back now, do you want to give that up? If so, then all that means is you're not done yet. You have to keep going.

What we represent in this material world will eventually dissappear. But what YOU yourself was will remain. Your soul, you spirit, whatever you want to call it. The essence of who you are and were and who you wil be. That's what matters most. Your heart.

So me, don't forget it. Ive made the promise to live. Don't forget, no matter... ]]> ~Ravenwind137 http://Ravenwind137.deviantart.com/journal/24630249/ http://Ravenwind137.deviantart.com/journal/24630249/ Thu, 07 May 2009 06:02:01 PDT
I WILL BE ALRIGHT. As I may or may not have mentioned before, I came into this world fighting for life and intend to leave it the same way. I wasn't always like this, but I learned.

Anyway, I talked with my dear friend. She sounds alright, but I know that can be deceptive. I plan on visiting her as soon as I can find a ride there.

I worried myself sick. Literally. I now have th flu. Go me. =_= (If its swine flu, well, I'll know soon. Because Ill be dead. Lucky me. ==_=

So aside from the exhaustion, achiness, face-feeling-like-its-going-to-fall-off-ness, and general flu-symtoms,(and Im at school, btw) plus general stress such as home, college, my friends, etc, Im just dandy. ===_===

On a plus note. I finished Metroid Prime since I missed school yesterday. 8D

God.

I feel very strange. I may be off and on deviantart for awhile...

We as humans are so fragile sometimes, we don't even realize it...

Love- Mei

Man, I am feeling GOOD today. Dunno why. Can't explain it. Just on top of the world, and feeling the breeze and the fresh air and I'm reaching this point where I have all this happiness in me I want to explode or at least go roll in the grass but I can't because its too muddy.

I LOVE that feeling. XD Ain't happiness great? It's so great I'm using "Ain't". And I NEVER use "ain't".

But seriously. That joy of being alive despite all the bad things that happen, that joy without any real cause. Love it. Isn't happiness great? An emotion where it doesn't have to have a reason to be there. You need a reason to be sad. You don't need one to be happy. XD

Though I know it's fleeting, Im enjoying it while it lasts. XD

Oh, so anyway, still on break, Im at my grandparents house. My grandma, as some of you may or may not know, has cancer. She's hanging in there, but you can see its taking its toll. Despite this, her garden outside keeps on growing, I counted the daffodils coming up through the grass and the buds in my favorite apple tree. I saw some deer, a hawk wheeling across a blue sky, a chubby squirrel trying to raid the feeders (again). My grandparents dog napping at my side while I read a book, sitting out on the porch.

Just gorgeous today. A little cool, but blue sky, and lots of wind. Ive always had a deep connection with wind. Something else I cant explain. XD

Anyway, just saying hi to all y'all. XD And work is progressing, but just for a little while, I want to enjoy my happy self before it sinks back into slightly-angsty but stable content self again. XDDD

I hope all of you are well. I just wanted to share my feelings. *smile* ^_^


- Love all, and God Bless,

All in all, have to say I think we did a pretty good job. We were the final act, but I think we gave the people their's money's worth (which isn't much, since the ethnic festival was free to begin with... >.>...)

So yeah, just getting the final post up. I got (count 'em) FIFTEEN (and a half) sketches/drawings/works ready to post.

On a 'another note. Seriously. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON IN BLEACH AND NARUTO.



All in all, it was a mixed blessing. Bleach was a ..tad predictable. I was hoping blubber-hime would finally show some inner strength...

But nooooo. Ichigo has to let his massive hero/messiah complex spew all over the whole situation... (THAT's right. I said spew. SPEW, DAMMIT)

But all in all great chapter. (Is it creepy to say that I though his hollow mask might look the way it did? With the horns? O.o)

Naruto was touching. I stopped reading it from all the angsty deaths and general depressing angst (and slo because I had no time,) But I'm always happy to see my fave-blonde guy. XD He's so predictable at times its cute.

Hmmm...

Lessee...

hm...

I might post something tonight. Maybe.

Seriously though, I have so much stuff I want to post... Stupid scanner is busted....

But be ready. You know not the day that it will come.

...

Still busy as hell. I got a ethnic festival coming up this ******* (bleeped out for safety) and Ill be dancing a fan dance. Should be intresting. XD I may or may not post photos. Whilst hiding my face, of course.

So yeah. Bleach and Naruto. EVERYBODY'S DYING. asdfjkl'asdfjkl;.

I started reading Shaman King and One Piece.

Um...My turtle got bigger. Again. XD

I went out with friends...

And..I...uh...

I want to make this clear to everyone though. I WILL BE BACK. I am a fighter and I will get through this. I will. I will come back to my normal self and I will enjoy life and sun and smile again. Just not today. For a little while.

God bless you guys. And keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Till we meet again,

Exams are yucky.


Thank you.

oOo
*later*

I apologize for the abrupt journal. I was suffering from a case of the 24hr flu and was slightly delirious and infuriated by the thought that I had to study for exams. Which is also yucky.

thank you.

, The lovable goof is holding me a party. It was supposed to be today, but of course he messed it up. Its okay though XD.

Christmas, all in all was good. I got yet another sketchbook. I also got a used new computer. So I can play Mabinogi now. XD *SHUT UP, MONTRIOS, I KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING TO SAY DDDDD:<* Well, I got to get internet first. *Im on my moms laptop*

So all in all, just want to say Im doing alright. Rooms a mess, but its a happy, comfortable mess, so I know Im moving in jut fine.XD

This place is freaky though, I almost think its haunted. the doors open by themselves and I find light switches that turn on by themselves, and I hear strange things. My dad is starting to wonder too; the garage door keeps opening by itself. XD

I hope its nice ghost. Actually, I hope this place really is haunted, that would be so cool! (Ive been fascinated by such things since I was little)

Also, I came to an odd conclusion. I am strangely comfortble in the dark, and beyond the normal comfort. when I went for a walk with my friends through the woods and our flashlight died and we got lost and everybody was freaking out, I felt fine. It was weird.

then I talked to my dad and he says whn I was little, I used to crawl out of my crib at night and turn the t.v on and off and stuff.

then my mom told me how I asked her to check for monsters under the bed because I wanted one as a pet, and about how I stuffed my nightlight under the sink because it bothered me a t night.

So yeah.

I have come to the conclusion that I am a vampire.


...

But not, because I have no desire to drink blood and though I try, I cannot turn into a bat at all.

Feh.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. Im waiting for something to load on my computer. XD

I am dreading tommorow.

=_= nobody should dread christmas, but I do.

Are move into this new place is still incomplete...

and I have no money to buy gifts for my little cousins... ( I know IM not getting anything, bu thats okay, Id rather they get something anyway...)

DEPRESSION GO AWAY DEPRESSION GO AWAY DEPRESSION GO AWAAAAAAY~*chanting her mantra*

But for all else, Im healthy. I have a home. I have a lot to be thankful for, so its not all bad.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, as I will you, and remember to treasure the people around you!

- Love to all and God bless,


Mei


(P.S I SAW THE BLEACH MOVIE WHICH IN ITSELF HAS BEEN A AMAZING GIFT. MY FRIEND TAPED IT ILLEGALLY AND ASIDE FROM CRAPPY AUDIO, TERRIBLE IMAGING, and SHRIEKS OF FANGIRLS AT EVERY GOOD PART, IT LOOKS AWESOME.)

OMG. BLEACH MOVIE. MY FRIEND, (THE LUCKY *****) GOT TO SEE IT IN JAPAN ON THE DAY THAT OPENED IT. AND THEN CALLED ME DIRECTLY AFTERWARDS AND SPOILED IT FOR ME. BUT IT WAS SO AMAZING I DONT CARE. (dead from Ichiruki implications and bad-ass Rukia)

According to her, the eyesmex was amazing. XDDDDD

Still moving though. I AM SO FRIGGIN TIRED.

BUT THE MOVIE.

Tired...

BUT THE EYESEMEX.

Aaching back/knees/arms/fingers/atoms...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Owwwwwwww....

So yes, up and down. My body wants me to die. BUT OMG THE MOVIE.

And I got my piece out of the kiln today. OMG ITS F******* AMAZING.

But I cant feel my right shoulder....

AND I HAVE HOT SHOWERS.

AHHHHH IM GONNA EXPLODEEEE FROM THE TUMULTOUS FEELINGS/ACHINGS!!!!!!!

I actually don't mind my new place much (HOT SHOWERS FTW.) except our stove is evil. It hates me. *glares at stove*

I won't be on that often as I am EXHAUSTED. AND BUSY. AND DEPRESSED. Im so depressed, I don't want to game. AT ALL.

...

THATS REALLY REALLY BAD FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME. (>.>... <---obsessed womb to tomb gamer)

I am really tired in more ways then one. =_=

Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone Im doing alright. Its just been kinda stressful and more exhausting then anything I can remember. Except maybe boot camp but that's another story.... >.>

Love to all y'all. At least I still have my sense of humor. XD Sorta.

Love~

Mei

Its a townhouse, its got three bedrooms, three bathrooms, no basement and a two car garage. Supposedly near the same size as my house without the basement and lower floor. But it doesn't feel like home yet.

Not that I'm complaining, because it's still better compared to places Ive seen or lived in. And I'll be closer to my cousin , so that's good.

Theres just something immensley depressing to be at home, sitting on the floor with everything around you packed away in cardboard boxes or in the process thereof of being packed away in carboard boxes. I'm worried about my turtle. TwT

The new place has a lot of things to look forward to though. Like hot water and heat. (Something else that a few of you know; Ive ben without hot water or gas for nearly two years.) A definite improvement. XD

All in all, Im trying to be optimistic. Its just... I thought I finally had a secure home, you know? My dream house. But then I think; Ive had a lot of hard and painful memories in thei shouse, as well as good, but the sad ones and the words that have been said here... Anyway, Im trying to beleive this is my fresh start. Ill be closer to my family and be able to help them. Maybe Ill even finally get some cash to buy that new scanner Ive been wanting. XD

Either way, I just wanted to remind everyone; don't take anything for granted. Having food on the table, hot water, heat (especially during winter; we had to use kersoene heaters to keep warm,) a home. All of that. Because it can be gone in a day, an hour. I just thank God so much that Ive had good friends to help me through my depression bouts and even when Im struggling Im thankful because I think it helps me appreciate what I have all the more. And maybe to even nderstand people who are going throught the same thing even more.

So anyway, I just wanted to vent. Because my gamecube is packed up and I cant take my frustration out on virtual spawned enemies. XD

God bless~

Mei

Yes, my birthday on Thanksgiving. Its a mixed blessing. XDDDD

Im recovering a bit from this [link] and I want to thank everyone for your support and your comfort. I really appreciate it.

Happy Thanksgivig everyone! As of today, I am Seventeen! And I have been on Deviant for over a year with alomst 3 thousand views. My thanks to all~

As only a very few of you may know, my house is in foreclosure, which means my family and I have to be out of there in about a month. Naturally, this has but an incredibly large amount of stress on me. It doesn't help that I have been getting into arguments with my mom and dad having issues, and my cousin having heart surgery and my grades are falling and I still have to do 100 hours of community service and the rest of my extended family is suffering and may lose their houses and my college fund is gone and I'm getting sick again and I can't buy anything I need or want but I won't ask and my friends are suffering and I want to help, I want to do something but it feels like Im trapped in some great big box with no way out.

...

*takes deep breath*

Sorry, I just had to get a tiny bit of ...everything, off my chest. =_=

Ill be posting up some of my recent poetry, and Im sorry for the lack of updates, but I hope you guys will understand...

Additional: I want to thank everyone for the support. Really, you have no idea how much I appreciate it. Reading this back it sounds so selfish on my part; having to move is not such a big issue, the issue is what it's doing to my parents, who I love very much. I know they feel guilty for putting me through this which makes me feel bad because I don't blame them. Life is filled with these obstacles and I have to take it in stride.

so anyway, Im feeling better now. My birthday is in two days. Ill be seventeen.

I feel old.

...


Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration(very slight,) but I did shed a few tears. THAT IS NOT NORMAL.

But lately it does feel like all the walls are closing in... It doesn't help that my dad's side is known for having "panic attacks". I started awhile ago, but didn't tell anyone... Its better now, but not great....

Im so thankful I have good friends lie who listen to my blathering in moments where I feel especially vulnerable. >.<

Oh yes. If anyone's interested in hearing some music Ive been whipping up I might post on Youtube~

I promise once things get settled I shall swamp you all with crappy drawings. Yaaaay~

Ill probably post a rant of things that are going on because I feel like Im going to explode. Or have a nervous breakdown.

Anyways, sorry to write. Im just so stressed....

Someone wanna trade places for a little while?

I finally gave in to all her pestering...

=_= I need to regrow my backbone...

Anyway, expect more Bleach work. A LOT more. And a lot of Bleach OCCs.

Despite the fact my face has suddenly become extremely attracted to the floor, Im actually doing okay. My dad lost his job, but got a job interview two days later. If you know anything of Michigan's economy, you know that thats a miracle in itself. I MAY GET A TABLET FOR MY BIRTHDAY. KICKASS.

all in all my friends and I are doing alright. We are planning to go the Animecon in October. We chose the SuperSmashBros theme; I have narrowed it down to the following and need help deciding:

1. Pikachu
2. Zelda
3. Sheik
4. Link
5. ...Suggestions?

I'm pushing for Pikachu because I even have the blue goggles...

ALSO.

I know I still havnt posted my mission trip pictures. Im sorry. I found out today where the camera has been all this time. (under refrigerator) DONT ASK ME HOW IT GOT THERE. IM STILL NOT SURE.

Anyway, much love to you all.

And the photos and journal fom my mission trip.

I AM SO SORRY.

I have been extremely busy. Went to my grandmas house to help, as I may or may not have said before. We got some good news. The doctors say that it seems like the cancer in her body has stopped spreading, and hopefully with treatment, she'll be better again. I was really excited~

Anyways, been busy like I said. Drawing has kinda gotten pushed to the side. I finihed writing my song, and will be posting a version of it in the not so near future.

I APOLOGIZE TO ALL.

ISN'T IT AWESOME?!?!? -*is shot*

I apologize for wasting your time. But... I HAD TO HAVE IT.

Btw...

This product is from Barrel of Monkeys(R) and I make no claim to it other then I bought one. And pin it to all my clothes. Including formal occasions. Such as up-scale dinner parties. Sort of.

I forgot to bing my flash drive to load up stuff. It has all my mission trip photos on it too. =_= Mild curses and profanity.

I also promised an extensive report on my trip...But its on the flash drive...

I also promised to upload some of my artwork...All of which is on the flash drive...

Not-so-mild curses and profanity.

Anyways, Im spending the week at my grandma's house. I love it here, lots of nature, quiet, and weeding to do. I got a Tae kwon Do tournament soon. My art is all rather dark and other digimonish-Yugiohish-animeish-angsty-emo-and-or-pokemonish. And it is MUCH ANNOYING.

Oh yes, my good friend made it in to the college he wanted. And got a 14,000 dollar scholarship.

Oh, and I found out I may be moving in December. Im going to be a senior. Im going to take a written test for driving. I nearly crashed my grandpas truck into a church. *exaggerating immensley* I saw a golden eagle. There was this funny lady at the grocery store who gave me fifty dollars just for finding her kid. I finally figured out what a fried banana tastes like.

So as usual, I am busy. If Im lucky, I may be posting some of my ink-painting soon.

There's no scanner here, so I may not update in awhile...


I hope all of you are well. And I hope I didnt take up too much of your time.

- Mei

If you may or may not know, I am currently depolyed in Missisipi to debomb a nuclear war-head, that if goes off, will wipe north america off the the face of the earth.

Just kidding.

Actually, I am with my very small church's group who went down to Missisipi's Bay St. Louis. We are being sheltered with more then ten other churches under the local Lagniappe church. Each day we go out and work for hours in all kinds of weather to build houses for Katrina victims and furnish them.

I've only been here for a few days but it seems forever. My hands and feet are aching, my whole body is exhausted, yet I never felt more alive. Hearing some of the stories of these people, and seeing the ramage firsthand and how people have recovered is an amazing thing. Churches welcoming any and all have sprung up all over the place. Some of them don't even have buildings; one of the churches here meets every Sunday on the shore; no buildings, no pews, no choir.

The people here are amazing. Ive heard stories of how a woman spent three days working tirelessly to redig her well, to find it after Katrina swept through. A man cut a hole in his roof and pushed his 75-year old mother to safety and rescue. Another man who's aunt an uncle drowned not twenty miles from here. So many stories.

There are lots of overgrown empty lots. Lots of wreckage has been cleared, but even as we dig the foundations of a house we find all sorts of things; lawnmower pieces, shoes, shingles, grates, toys,all sorts of trash. There are shells everywhere. There are very few houses. There are, quite simply, almost none of the former houses left. Not even wreckage. Just the plots of cement where they used to be.

The pastor here is an amazing person. He made it clear we dont do this to try and pressure the people we help into becoming christian. We do what we do because we love people. We dont preach to them. We dont hand them bibles when they need food and water. We simply love them, just like were supposed to. Its exactly what I hoped for.

Anyway, Im having a blast. Nails FEAR ME. I have become a tigress of the hammer. I have lot more to tell, but a crowd of peopke waiting to use the computer are glaring at me in a puma-like fashion. Take-care y'all!!


-Love Mei


P.S You CAN fry an egg on the sidewalk.

Today mom woke me up saying there was a little robin in our garden who wasn't flying. It was a fledgling, which means its still practicing how to fly. I put it in a shoebox, after I put some rubber gloves on so I wouldn't get my scent on it. After ahwile, I decided to check onit, to find it had gotten out. I spent my time chasing after it all around my house. =_+ (Our neighbors have three rottweilers, so I couldnt leave it on the ground.

I finally got upset so I sat and it came up to me, I put my hand down and it clambered up so I took it over to this pine tree in our backyard. The whole time it didnt try to fly away (flap, since it didnt actually get airborne..) or move, like it trusted me. Then it hopped up into he branches.

Its mom had gone so I was worried and just stayed close so something wouldn't come along and munch it finally she came back and started giving it food, so I guess its alright.

This is my fifth robin-occurence. My first was when a mom robin nested right near our back door and she had three babies. At first she was frightened by everytime we tried to go out, but she got used to us. I watched over her little babies and kept the stupid neighbor cat away. Finally, they flew away just a few weeks ago. We called them Ichigo, Jordan, and Aria. Their mom's name is Elisa. XD

They stayed around and got bigger and older. Now they're adults. I say I feel protected by them because for the longest time Ive been attacked by this blue jay anytime I go outside this apple tree I like to sit in. Well, I went out once, to sit on the deck, all of the sudden I heard all this.. twitering (I dunno. XD) up in the tree and something fell out of the tree.

Their were two robins attacking that old blue jay. Since then, I havent seen them and I can go back to my tree.

And yeah. So thats how I feel and thats whats been happening. Kinda weird, isn't it? I mean, some these things are right out of a Disney movie...This summer is proving to be quite intresting... =_=

P.S I named the robin I rescued today Leah and the mom Rebecca. Name ideas courtesy of my mom.

So Yeah. Im also griping because I forgot to bring my flash with my new updates on it today. GRAH!

Hopefully Ill remember. Im heading out to the movies with and some other friends tonight so it promises to be fun.

But good news! I may be posting some good/decent updates real soon. I want to apologize because Im going to be/been off and on here pretty roughly, no definite times, etc etc.

Oh yes, I got to see a real old friend a few days ago. That was pretty sweet.

I also got to do a solo fan-dance for a bunch of adopted kids at this cultural camp thing. It was fun and the bright side of performing for a bunch of youngstes is that if you goof up, they cant tell the differenc. XD

Oh yes. Thats important because I only had one day of practice. =_= Busy busy busy I am. XD

I also beat my uncle at Halo. HOW FREAKIN SWEET IS THAT. Hes a pro, so I was pretty happy. I ran him over.

Okay, I think thats about it.

Luv to all y'all.

Mei

P.S I also found out today that the lake where my cousins and I used to swim all the time was closed for swimming because it turned out to be full of water moccasins. (a poisonous snake, not the shoe.) Now I have to wonder about all those times I felt something slither past my feet... *shudders*

I went for a walk with my cousin. Decided I wanted to jog.

Didnt see the speed bump.

Next thing I know, Im looking up at the sky, unable to feel my knees elbows or my butt.

For about two seconds till aches/pain ripped through to my brain. Ugh.

I was a bit lucky though. I could have absolutely killed my shins, but at the last moment I flipped on my back.

But my knees and elbows look like they were attacked by a rabid cheese grater. =_=

Oh yes. So anyway, I forced myself and assessed the damage. I was scraped, but I felt alright. Ive had worse things happen to me before.

So we kept walking. She wanted to go back, but I told her no. That I was fine and I could handle a little pain.

Well, we walked past a few people and they stared because I had blood dribbling down my legs and arms and looked like Id been in a 4 on one gang fight. I smiled politely. (OMG I MUST HAVE LOOKED LIKE A PSYCHO.)

So we got back home and I hid it from my aunt/uncle/mom.

Then I realized how I looked.

Picture this. My arms had dried blood down them, my knees looked like raw hamburger I had a cut on my forehead I hadnt noticed and what I thought had been sweat I hadnt realized was blood so my face was smeared with it. I also was bruised around each wound, and one on my hip where my cellphone dug in. I think I shattered my kneecap. Again.

Oh God.

And I walked past all those people and smiled.

=_= *dies of embarassment*

At least school is over in ONE MORE DAY.

Oh and that girl that hurt her leg is alright. I came to school and well-meaning but annoying people came up and asked me, "what's wrong?" "Did your parents and you get in a fight?" "Did your boyfriend and you fight?" (This one struck me funny since I dont even HAVE a boyfriend,...) etc,etc.

GOD.

LET SUMMER BE HERE. PLEASE.

So I ache a little, but all in all, Im good. XDDDDDD

*everyone stares*

=_= Im going now.

I thought for sure I'd be gone for awhile, with everything around me rapidly oing down the toilet of angst and suckiness.

So why am I still on? I think Im getting addicted.

I HAVE TO @#$%&*^ WORK ON HOMEWORK, DANGIT.

But my brain has the attention span of a four year-old in Mr. WhizBangs Magicland of Toys, Sugar, and Things that Blow Up.

In a sense, NONE. =_=

I felt like writing today because I witnessed a very terrible thing. A girl I know (Not uberly well) fell during gym today. I watched in slow-motion as one of her legs bent backward. I heard her scream, and sob, but she took it suprisingly well, as she lay on her back. Gritted her teeth and took the pain without complaint. I escorted her to the front where she was picked up by her dad.

It looked too familiar at the time, of things Ive seen before, so Im very depressed and worried now. I hope she's okay. She seemed alright for the moment.

Anyway, Im sitting here, when Im SUPPOSED to be working.

I have to work. And quit being angsty/motherish. And try to get my life back on track. So many things have gone wrong lately and I fell overwhelmed and confused at time. I envy the girls who worry about what kind of shoe to wear for the next day of school, not if their going to have a meal.

Sigh.

But don't worry all. Im survivng. Ive done it for a long time. ^_^ And if theirs one thing that God gave me, its stubborness.

Yours Truly,

Mei

P.S :Im trying to finish my pic for K contest. And a congratulatory pic for . (HE'S GOT 12,000 VIEWS, the LUCKY BASTARD. ) And my anthro pic for contest, and my own pic for 1111 views, (so many ones. XD) AND the other bleach stuff I was going to post for my friend.

Somebody bring me a box of pocky and some tea. It's gonna be a LOOOOOOONG Week before vacation. =_=

I have to study for final exams, my home situation is sorta kinda going rapidly down the toilet o' crappiness. -_-

AND I HAVE TO @#$%*&^ STUDY.

So yeah, not a lot of time to draw, my computer is down, etc. etc. (Im writing this from school as the teacher glares evilly at me.)

I'm REALLY SORRY.

I don't know when Ill be back and Im just so tired and confused right now...

Im praying God sends me a break. =_=

So anyway, I apologize to all of you.

I glomp you people on here that are my friends with much love. I just slaughtered the grammar of that sentence, but oh well.

Once again, I apologize. Don't worry, Ill be fine ^_^...

Mei
