SNAPE KILLS BELLA!!!

...

Also

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I was having a bit of a bad time early this morning until later in the day but I'm trying to cheer up and forget the whole thing ever happened. Regardless, there are other things that have gone better, I had to work Christmas Eve and it looked like I wasn't going to be able to get together with my family but then my grandma suggested we have it on the Sunday following Christmas so we can all be there. That made me happy, also Ricky and I are going over to move some totes out of the way at my moms for her first Christmas hosting a party and then we'll be going to buy presents ^^.

Okay well I'm off to have some fun spending all my money. XD

Today I was reminded how time always keeps moving. How everything changes and that almost nothing will ever stay the same. It's a melancholy feeling to know this and yet to know that I change with it and that I can also move with it.

My friend Aaron will be moving to Detroit within the next month or so. Aaron has been my friend since kindergarten. We grew up together and even after he left for a different school from 4th grade til junior high and came back it still felt like we were good friend. Time never has changed that. I can not express or really explain how deep our friendship is, or how different it is from others. Aaron is like the big brother I'd never had (even though he's technically younger than me he's waaaaay taller XD). We are so similar and yet so different, it's uncanny XD. We have shared things with each other that few know about. He and I have become even closer recently in the past few years after we've graduated.

Recently, about 2 years ago, my friend Katelyn moved to South Carolina to attend college. She too was a good friend from my junior high and the three of us have always been close. Now when ever Kate comes back to town it's like the old days and it feels so right, so comfortable.

However, it's been such a constant for so long now. When Kate left I was really sad but I told myself I could live through it as long as I had Aaron and sometimes Andrew (my ex- boyfriend and good friend from junior high) I would be okay. Andrew was like a link to the past, a reminder, and Aaron was like family and sort of a link to Kate as well. Now, after my 20th birthday it would seem that God is reminding me that the world does change because all of that is changing.

Kate is leaving back to go live in the dorms (before she was living with her dad and step mom) at her college as per normal. However, this time, Aaron is leaving too. He will be moving to Detroit, MI to attend college there, both because they have a better psychology program and because his dad is driving him nuts

. Andrew will be leaving in the spring to be in the army to help pay for college. My favorite restaurant that I've been going to since I was old enough to go is being redone and will be completely different next week when my family and I go there for Sunday lunch. I'll be moving into an apartment with Ricky, away from my parents for the first time in January.

Everything is changing and when I think about each change I feel a sort of emptiness within me, the only comfort I have is that there is one thing that I don't think can or will ever change. My friendship with these people. It's been ingrained within me, within my heart. I'm unsure of my future right now but there are some things that *knocks on wood* I feel are certain, my friendship with Kate and Andrew and the brother sister relationship I hold with Aaron, also there is one thing I'm becoming more and more aware of and am certain of, my love for my boyfriend Ricky.

Over all things are changing but in a way it's only for a little while. Things are never going to be the same but the history and the feels I think will remain the same if not grow stronger. When Aaron and Kate are done with college they plan to return here. I myself will travel of course, but also I'll be staying here for the most part. As Aaron said last night "This place is all I know. This place is home." and his worlds felt so right for I think all of us.

It's hard to explain but even though we're all going to be in different places we'll all be chasing after our dreams. And after another 6 months we'll be back here, together, hanging out again.

I have so much more I could say but most of you probably aren't even going to finish this whole thing XD. I wanted to put this up though. Not just to express my feelings but because I know that some of you are going through similar experiences and I thought this might help. Maybe ^^.

Fear is an interesting feeling as far as I'm concerned. It seems to surface a lot lately and just when I think it's going to consume me and I'm going to have a panic attack I'll find some kind of outlet. Most of the time it's a panic attack ^^u however sometimes it's writting, like this and most of the time besides a panic attack it's talking to Ricky.

Right now it's a mixture of my finals (I'm failing Spanish and if I fail it then I'll most likely have to take it over again... which I don't want to do at all. I just want to pass enough to make it to Spanish 2. I've been through Spanish one 2 times before this, this class will make it 3 times. ARG! It's driving me mad. If I do fail I hope they'll let me try to test out.

Next up is the biggest source of my stress and fear. I'll be moving out on my own with my boyfriend Ricky

for the first time on January 5th or some time that week. I'm currently working as a minimum wage cashier at Mejier (grocery store in Michigan USA) and I get $20 a week from my grandma. I signed a lease along with Ricky thinking I'd get at least 20 hours a week. I've been getting around 8 and picking up hours as I went along to make 15. Not only that but Mejier not only takes out taxes but also what's called a union fee (which mind you I can't even use until I'm three months in so it's worthless to me right now).

The reason for my terror is basically that I honestly don't make enough to pay for all of my expenses unless I get food stamps and even if I do that, odds are I won't be able to pay for things that will come up in the future, like for example, if I get a cavity the only way I'll be able to get it fixed is if I go to my grandma for help. I've been trying to put money away but the meager amount I've put up on the side is going to be going to my car insurance for the month. I might be able to afford my expenses a lot easier if I were able to have another form of income, so I'm going to go apply to the work place that Ricky works at because they pay 9$ an hour (which is a lot more than Mejier pays).

I would be confident in being able to get a job there except for the fact that I have two days of school that go all the way til 8pm and starts at 10:15 am. Enviro-clean (the place Ricky works at and where my dad used to work) has a history of not being one to work with students schedules. Their night schedules generally run from 5 to 10 every mon-fri. If it weren't for the fact that I can't find classes under my major to take that end before 5 I'd do that. I'm sure that Mejier would be more than happy to be able to cut my hours down to the weekend but two problems exist with this. Cutting my hours down that much would mean (after I've been at Mejier for 3 months). I'd have to work 6 hours each day because the union (basically it's a group that ensures employers give their employee's proper treatment and enough hours and pay as well as making sure you're not fired because your boss hates you xD) requires part time employees to have at least 12 hours a week. Regardless I'd need 15 along with 15 more from Enviro-clean in order to make rent. Another problem with this is that I don't really like the idea of doing the work that enviro-clean presents because it's very solo, I'm more of a people person and like to have someone to converse with once in a while.

Yea... so ummm that's about it for that rant.

Okay, first off, no I'm not just writing this journal for the Christmas season XD. No, it's because of the first snow fall of the season!

That's right, over here in Grand Rapids Michigan we've had our first snow fall of the season ^^. Let me tell you though, it came with a vengeance XD. At first it was a flurry or two then it began to snow steadily later into the night, that's when I took this shot:

and this shot:

They both turned out decently well and I wanted to take the picture because I knew that the snow would probably be gone by morning and I was leaving for a friends house in about an hour. So, satisfied with my pictures I went back inside, got ready and left. While my friend Aaron and I were in Steak and Shake (a restaurant with good shakes in case you don't have one were you live)and we ate as the snow began to fall down a bit faster. I didn't really realize it at the time but the snowfall was turning into a blizzard! We stopped by the walgreens (a pharmacy and small multipurpose store) and while Aaron went in side to pick something up it I finally noticed were it was headed. With one swipe of my windshield whippers the snow had already replaced it self. I was like: Damn.

By the time I headed home I couldn't see two feet in front of me! I got to go 20 mph in a 55 zone ^^u I never thought I'd have to do that since I'd forgotten how bad winter can get here XD. I got home an hour after Ricky and his tracks in the snow were already gone! I thought it might calm down over night. Man was I wrong XD. This morning Ricky's car got stuck in the street so I got to get up a 7 am to help him XD surprisingly I wasn't that tired. I ended up not going back to sleep and ended up going online and watch the snow keep falling. In fact it's still going XD I only got one quick glance of sunlight a moment ago and now it's gone. The weather said that we have gotten 6 to 7 inches so far and that we're suppose to get 4 to 5 (Making it a full foot of snow) more today alone. o.0 Yes winter has indeed come with a vengeance XD.

I took these pictures earlier for you all to give you an idea of how much snow were getting ^^u

This one is of our front yard. The lump of snow near the corner of the picture would be my car XD

and this one of our backyard and my dog Angel just behind the fence ^^:

Okay so that's about all for now!

Profile | Gallery | Note Me

The other day my English teacher wanted us to write a journal entry answering this question "If you could go back and change one thing in your life what would it be?"

At first I racked my brains and came up with a few instances in which the situation made me extremely stressed or just made my life down right miserible. But then I thought, what would my life be like if that heart ache didn't happen. Would my life still be the same? Would I still have the friends I do now? Would I have met the people I had when it did happen? I couldn't have said for sure. Maybe I would have but my thoughts pointed to no. There has been so much pain in my life but there has also been so much joy. My life seems to teeter between these two. Most of the time it's always in direct reaction to the other.

I'm not saying that fate governs us, nor am I saying that nothing happens for a reason or that it's all by chance. I think that it might just be a mixture of all of them.

I think about all the situations I had wanted to change and suddenly I didn't want to at all. Even in the darkest era of my life I didn't want to change the actions that I made that led up to it. Not just because it lead me to Ricky but also because it taught me things and it's an expirience I don't think I'd want to forget no matter how much it might have hurt me. I've learned from it, I've learned how that feels. To be unwanted by the person you want the most. However I've also learned how it feels to love the person who loves you back.

There are other things too. Like being picked on when I was younger. I learned how that feels and it's helped me in more ways than on. It earned me a few friends along the way too.

It's so amazing how these different expiriences have taught me so many thing and has helped me expirience the joy and the pain that came along with it.

I went through marching band (Side note: this one time at band camp... XD) and color guard and I learned how to push past emotional burden, stage frieght, and physical pain and enjoyed the thrill of when I accomplished what I set out to do.

My life is full of so many different feelings, learnings, and expiriences that I would not trade for the world. I have no regrets. And as for the answer to "If you could go back and change one thing in your life what would it be?" The answer is simple: "nothing".

Sorry it was so long ^^u I was feeling inspired lol

Warning this is a sad, sad story but it happens and that's why I'm putting it up here.

Taken from Hakoro's journal

Guy: "Can we have sex now?"

Girl: "Can we do what?"

Guy: "You know, can I be your first, finally?"

Girl: "Um.....no."

Guy: "Why?"

Girl: "Because you have a girlfriend, who happens to be my friend......."

Guy: "So, if you don't tell, I won't tell."

Girl: "Besides that, I'm waiting for someone special. Someone that I want to be with for the rest of my life to be my first."

Guy: "I'm not special to you?"

Girl: "You're my friend. That's all."

Guy: looks forward and keeps driving.

5 minutes pass.......

Guy: starts to run his hand up the girl's thigh.

Girl: moves his hand, "Don't touch me.".

Guy: tries to kiss her.

Girl: screams, "Would you stop!"

Guy: continues trying.

Girl: moves to the back seat

Guy: parks on an abandoned street and gets in the backseat with the girl. Starts to kiss her.

Girl: pushes him off and scoots over, "Please, don't do this."

Guy: "Don't do what? I know you want it, I can see it in your eyes." Moves over to her and starts to unbutton her pants.

Girl: pushes him harder and says, "No, don't."

Guy: getting aggravated, punches her and tells her to stop "playing hard to get".

Girl: crying, continues to fight.

Guy: punches her harder, pulls her pants off, and holds her down.

Girl: screams as he penetrates her, "NO, please don't do this to me!"

Guy: puts his hand over her mouth.

An hour passes.........

Guy: pulls back and wipes himself off.

Girl: sits on the corner of the seat, crying.

Guy: looks at her and says, "You better not tell anybody about this. If you're really my friend, you won't tell anybody about this. You know I love you." He reaches out his hand to touch her cheek.

Girl: pulls back, "Just take me home, now."

Guy: says, "Alright." Gets in the front seat and drives her home.

2 months later.........

Girl: "Doctor, what's wrong with me? I haven't had my time of the month in 2 months."

Doctor: looks at her, "You haven't been having your "time" for a reason."

Girl: looks at him and says, "Why?" dreading the answer that she was sure to receive.

Doctor: "You are pregnant."

Girl: faints.

The story gets out that she is pregnant, and people start looking to the Guy. He claims that it isn't his because she was sleeping with every guy in the school(which was a lie). He goes to her and tells her, "I'm telling you, if you lie to people and say that I raped you, I'll kill you."

The Girl is completely devastated. First, he took her virginity and got her pregnant....then he lied about it. So completely depressed......the girl commits suicide by drug overdose.......

Girls, if this story touched you, put this in your journal as "No means no!"

Guys, if this story pisses you off, put in your journal as 'I'll kill any idiot who does this to my girl, or any girl"

Also if this happens to you don't be afraid to let someone know what happened. You might not think that anyone will be there for you but the person that you tell might surprise you.

Okay so as most of you probably already know, I went to yomacon this past weekend. Needless to say it was AWESOME . It was lots of fun despite waking up with Charlie horses in both of the backs of my lower legs. I was completely extatic to be able to meet little Kuriboh, I was so caught up in the moment I completely forgot to ask him to do a voice TT^TT However I was still really pyscked to have been able to have done that.

I was so excited I couldn't get my shoulders to relax for the picture. I was sad I didn't get to talk to him more, ask him questions about stuff (that he'd probably had been asked a dozen times already XD). It was pretty much the high light of my day. Along with the Naruto and Bleach photo shoot and the awesomely hilarious skits, in fact I recorded a few on my camera and posted one on youtube. [link] I hope that turns into the link I want lol. By the end of the day I was exhosted but happy with my journey and also extremely happy with myself for not blowing all my money at the first thing I saw. I ended up paying 25 for the ticket to get in, 5 on a art piece of Zero, C2 and Suzaku from Code Geass from artist alley for Ricky, 3 on a Naruto keychain, 3 on a book mark from artist alley,and a few other things as presents. Sadly I didn't have enough money for some of the bigger items or for more presents for some of the people I know that weren't able to come. I also recieved a random red string doll from Hell Girl (cosplayer) for recognising her, no one panic, I'd prefur to keep my sould

lol.

Well That concludes my short run down of Yomacon. A lot of other stuff happened but I'm really tired and I have a test tomorrow so later all!

Okay, question to you all...

Okay the other day I was thinking about how some people seem to think the worst in people so I'd like to ask all of you, what is one time when humanity surprised you by it's kindness (though it's interesting to read about it's moments of stupidity, like those criminals get caught for the dumbest things XD), this can be either from the news or from your own personal expirience. I myself have one when I got into a car accident. I haddn't been paying attention to what I was doing for the most part as I was looking for a church for a food drive for my mom. the car ahead of me went through the light so I did too not noticing that the light had turned red. I ended up running into the corner end of a car. In his panic I think the driver slammed on his gas instead of his breaks and shot foreward, nearly missing another truck, a brick building, ran over a small tree and then stopped in a perfect parallel park. I couldn't believe I caused all of that. I felt absolutely horrible. It had been an older couple I had run into. After we found out that we were both okay a couple people from the street started demanding what had happened and why I had run the red light. I was so confused and freaked out that I couldn't really get what had happened. They started in on me making sure I was going to take the blame. They kept aksing me "you're aren't going to try to get out of this right?" "You know it was your fault right." Each time I said yes. Finally I retreated to my car trying not to cry.

A woman had heard what had happened and asked me if I knew where the church was that I had been looking for. I told her I didn't and that the drive would close in 10 minutes. I had no hope of getting the food for my mom. She then proceeded to take out a 20 dollar bill from her pocket and handed it to me, no questions asked and told me to go buy some food for my mom. I felt like hugging her. She never blamed or accused me, she never asked for my name. She simply smiled and said 'May God bless you and your mom.' and left. I never saw her after that.

Sorry I know that was a bit long but I had to explain it XD ^^

So now it's time for you guys to tell me your expirience ^^

I feel like I'm gloating waaaaay too much right now but I can't help it *does a happy dace* *notices everyone looking at me like I'm nuts because they have no idea why I'm dancing* eh heh heh ^^u Sorry, getting ahead of myself.

Okay most of you all know about the interview I had a while ago, well I went through that one and was asked to come in on a second interview today at Mejier (a Michigan, United States grocery store) and after a short while the stor director said,

"I'd really like to hire you." And I replied out of reflex,

"I'd really like you to hire me too." He laughed and then said,

"Let's get started." He let me fill out a short form and told me that as soon as it was all processed that I would be called in for training. So he left to go do what ever store managers do

and I finished the paper and handed it in to the secretary. I was so excited, I automatically headed over to Ricky's to tell him the news. After I sent him the text message:

"Where are you? Tell me you're home! I need to see you asap!!!" He was a bit worried, he thought something was wrong. I just hugged him when I got there and thanked him profusly for helping me get this job. The store Director had laughed at one point saying 'well that was a short interview. I already knew I was going hire you though. Ha, if I didn't then I don't know how I'd ever look Ricky in the eyes again." I laughed too imagioning Ricky's expression when he found out. Either super angry or small chibi with big eyes and tears about to fall with a pout expression that would clearly say 'you....you didn't hire my girl friend...but but why?'

But yea anywho, in other news RABBID SQUIRRELS AND RUBBER DUCKS ARE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE COVER PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! Oh and be sure to stock up on your bubble bath soap and acorns to be able to bribe them with if you get captured.

Guess who just got an interview at Mejier?

^^ ME! *does happy dance* I'm so happy. I just went through the first round of interviews at Sonic. They might call me in for the second round on Thursday. I called Meijer and they said that they were hiring for cashiers and she set up and interview time for me on Thurseday ^^. My only worry is that Meijer wants to hire me before I know whether or not Sonic is going to hire me because I'd rather work for Sonic then Meijer. I assume they pay better since Mejier only gives you a raise for every 700 hours that you work TT^TT.

In other News I finished my Mid-term in ASL. Sadly I forgot to study so I doubt my grade will be higher than a C. I have a good idea that I aced the Spanish quiz I had today. So it was a bitter sweet day. I have my ASL presentation next week Tuesday. XD

Oh and I'm now ready to issue the new contest quote ^^ However this time I have a few special instructions. First of all, there will be two quotes. If you are the first one to get one of them then your prize will be a drawing from me. If you get both of them you get to request a drawing and you'll also get a copy of it sent in the mail. So there will be two contest winners this week. In order to win it you have to name both who says the quote and where it's from.

The first quote is: "Asshole? I'm not the one who just got butt fucked on National T.V. Dwaine!"

The second quote is: "Yes, I shall go down in history as the man who opened a door."

Okay good luck everyone, and remember, be sure to put up your best guess. Even if someone else has already said an answer, theirs might be wrong so give your best guess anyways. Anyone who is new to my watchers or anyone who hasn't heard about this yet here is the journal where I explained the rules: [link]

If there aren't any right guesses in a weeks time I'll post a new set of quotes.

Okay heres the deal.

Before I begin heres a few things you might not know that you need to in order to under stand my rant- I mean journal. Cochlear implants are a device that is surgically put into the ear to replace a damaged Cochlear (the piece of your ear that allows you to hear). There is a huge debate over whether or not Deaf children should even be allowed to have the surgery.

Also ASL is translated to American Sign Languige in case I put that in here ^^u

For my English class we have to write a research paper (aka argumentative paper) about something we choose. My topic ended up being should Deaf children under the age of 12 be able to have a cochlear implant. Now the girl sitting across from me is a student for most likely nursing or to become a doctor. I asked her how to spell Cochlear and she told me. Then she asked me what my paper was on so I told her. She then asked me what my opinion was and I said that I didn't really think kids that young should and should make the decision on their own at the age of 12. She wasn't too happy with it. She kinda looked at me like I was nuts even. She argued that they should have cochlear implants as soon as it was medically safe for them because if they didn't then it would be harder for them to learn how to speak, it might even forever impair them to speak normally. I argued that not all deaf people want to learn how to speak and that getting an implant later in life wouldn't impair them, after all, I know one deaf woman who never ended up getting one and she speaks just as normally as I do. She insisted they still should because it would be harder later in life. I couldn't argue with that. That is true however, I reminded her that if you were an english speaking parent that knew how to speak spanish as a second languige you wouldn't force your child to learn spanish just because it would make it easier in life. In fact most parents don't even consider it. It's the same in Deaf culture, in fact most Deaf parent don't want their children to have Cochlear implants at all when they are children because they are afraid that if all the children or at least most of them, were to get this surgary their way of life, their culture, and their languige (ASL) would cease to exist.

Again she looked at me as if I was nuts. 'It's not the same' she insisted refurring to the spanish refrence I had made. 'Deaf people are impaired, they have a desease that can be fixed, why wouldn't they want to help their children by having them have the surgary? Besides Deaf people don't have a culture.' That struck a cord. My teacher had told us about some hearing people being like this, I had just shrugged this off at the time. I had not been prepared to actually meet one in my own class!

'Most Deaf people don't feel that theirs anything wrong with them. They don't think that they are hearing impaired, they feel we are signing impaired because we don't know how to sign-' I insisted trying to remember my ASL teachers words. 'that's ridiculous' She said laughing. 'I mean theres something wrong with their body! One pary of their ear isn't touching another part of it. Of course they're impaired.' She said again not seeing my point... or ignoring it.

'What if most of the people in the world were deaf and only a few were hearing, does that mean there would be something wrong with us?' I asked. 'But that's not how it is.' She insisted being evasive. I sighed. 'Most of them are just afraid they're going to loose their culture.' I started again. 'Deaf people don't have a culture. They are sick, they aren't a different people or anything.' She said. I wanted to scream at her. Of course they have their own culture! They have their own languige, they have their own customes! But the teacher had stepped in and our conversations was turned around back to Cochlear implants, as it should have, unless they wanted my face to get redder than it already was. My teacher agreed only that the children should probably have the implants. I argued from a more economical stand point rather than eithical this time. 'But the surgery is expensive, some families don't have the money.' 'That's a whole different story. I'm going to stay out of that one.' My teacher laughed and left. Leaving us to our work. We dropped it, she might have been as exasperated as I was. So now after a day to cool off I thought I'd write this out on here to blow off the rest of my steam. Theres a lot more that we argued before the teacher came but it's just about time for class so I had to cut it short ^^u

Crap, only 15 minutes to get to ASL class, bet my teacher will get a kick out of this!

Attention to the two winners of the last contest:

Fumetsu- Hakumei

and

yingyangbabe256

I just wanted to let you both know that your requests are both FINISHED! lol I know, it took me a little over a month to do these but I did say that the contest would be every month...heh heh okay so basically it was a combination of my natural procrastination and how busy I am from time to time but alas! I am finished with both of them. The rest of you all know what that means don't you, that's right, as soon as I post them I will be hiding the new contest quote in one of my journals so you all better be paying attention XD As soon as Bloodlustbakura lets me use his scanner I'll have them posted for all your enjoyment. I will be asking the contest winners individually whether they would like a water mark over their requested pieces or not. Reguarless I will be needing their E-Mails so I can send them both the requests threw E-Mail before anyone else gets to see them ^^

As a reminder for those of you who have been my deviant watchers since the first time I had this and some info on how this contest of mine works to all of my new watchers I am re-posting the contest rules and prizes for all of you in this journal entry.

Okay, basically the contest is as follows. Anyonw out there like my art work or love a good brain teaser? How about both? If so this is the contest for you! Every month I will put out a quote or a riddle in a journal entry (I'll make a note that this is the actual quote for the contest after it so don't worry XD). However I'm not going to put "contest" in the title or let it on that it's in there so be on the look out and make sure to read my journals lol. The first person to give me the correct answer will be the winner. Be sure to put in your guess even if there have already been tons of people with the same guess or different guesses because it's the first person to get it RIGHT not the first person to reply. Also there might be added extra's or special ways I want you to answer so pay attention to the instructions afterwords ^^

Good luck to all of you ^^

Okay, so my friend Neko-San and I went to go see a movie called "The Informent" On Saturady night and let me tell you... well let's put it this way lol, I've never wanted to walk out of a movie before. This one... oye it's really boreing and the guys thought process (during scene changes or slow conversations it was filled with the main charactors thoughts) is amazingly random and incredibly boreing! *groans* Trust me, if you really want to see it for yourself then please wait until it's on rental and watch it then. On an up note we went to Chinese before hand and was really really good ^^ (sweet and sour chicken with white rice and hot tea rock my world XD).

As for the next part of the journal I have just finished watching the new House 2 hour season premiere and it was freaking awesome ^^ and pretty much made up for the movie I watched on Saturday. If they have any re-runs I'd advise you to watch it, House enters a psyc ward in order to get rid of his riddilin (don't know how to spell it) based hallucinations. After he feels that he's better he tries to leave only to be stopped by the warden (he had to give his letter of recomendation in order for House to start practicing medicine again) and finds that the wardens wits match his own. No matter what House tries the warden is one step a head of him. And after finally crossing a line (a dangerous one unbeknownst to him) he begins to actually trying to follow the program. The conclusion is shocking and really cool. You won't want to miss it if theres a re run. You can watch for it on a couple of channels including Fox or U.S.A. (I think they still have it, I don't know). The next new episode looks really good ^^

Ever wanted to see what you would look like as an anime charactor? Well heres your chance ^^

Okay here's the scoop. I've done this a few times for other people before. Turned them into anime charactors that is. Most of which were quick sketches at the beach during the costguard festival so I don't have very many example to show you all but I do have one for you guys ^_~ It's actually of two people, myself and Ricky (aka bloodlustbakura).
This is the picture of us at Olive gardan:

I used it as a reference image to create this picture of us as anime charactors:

I'm also willing to do it Chibi style for less.

The price for this is as follows:

Profile | Gallery | Note Me

During my weekly ASL class last week my teacher showed us a video featureing the song Waitin' on the world to change by John Mayer and is inturpreted through sign languige in such a way that they look like they themselves are singing. It also has a lot of information to it, such as a few interesting quotes by some famillar people:

"Those born deaf are incapible of learning." Aristotle 355 B.C.

or

"Deaf children are a sign of sin." St. Augustine

"The deaf are sometimes looked on as a sort of monstrosity..." Alexander Graham Bell 1890

And some other interesting facts about their culture. I'm quickly learning not only the languige of American sign languige but also the culture and how they are treated in the general community as well as the history of the culture.

I even found out that if I want to continue my education in it after GRCC I won't be able to attend GVSU as they do not accept American sign LANGUIGE as an actual languige. If my credits where even accepted there they would be accepted as extra curricular classes and not languige as my spanish will be accepted. The only colleges that have a full fledged Sign languige translation program in Michigan are Lansing community College and a college in Maskeegon. Well I guess I get to present my lovely news to my counceler in October lol.

But anyways, if you want to see an interesting youtube video check this one out: [link]

Also if you want to check out another really good one we watched check this one out: [link] It features the song Beautiful (I don't know the singer) and also features sign languige but in a unique way that's different from the video I put up that features "Waiting on the World to Change".

If you want to check out more stuff made by D-Pan (Deaf Proforming Artist Network) here is the link: [link]

Okay guys quick note, do me a favor and if you click the "other" option in my polls (which happens to say "Comment and let me know") then please take the time to comment if possible. Otherwise it's not nearly as fun for people. Plus it leaves me wondering what I missed and sort of bugs me for what ever reason. I don't mean to be so touche but yea. It's just a prefrence of mine. Also, I'll be finishing up the contest winners drawings soon, I'm done with the first (I procrastinated so no it didn't actually take me this long to do it XD) and I'm probably going to outline the other tomorrow after school if over for the day. So you all should probably start keeping an eye out for the next contest to begin ^^

Anywho, that's about it for now. I'm sorry if it doesn't seem like a big deal to you guys but I just like to have feedback on my stuff including my polls. It lets me know what going on in your minds, if you like the polls, journals, drawings ect. that I put out or if you don't like it, or perhaps if I have to change something to make it more enjoyible ect.

I know you've had so many reminders of what day it is already but hopefully you'll bare with me for a moment ^^u

Today is 9/11 and I thought I'd write a journal about it in memory of the over 2,000 people who died that day during the terrorist attacks on America. Here is a link to a site with all the names of those lost on that sad day [link]

I personally did not loose anyone during this and am thankful for that. I remember I didn't even know what the twin towers were or their significance at the time. Our teachers had kept quiet about the whole thing during school. I didn't find out until after school when my mom told me. She said that two airplanes had crashed into the world trade centers. Again I didn't know what the world trade centers were at the time but I remember being both sad and scared because even though I didn't know much what I did know was that planes crashing was not a good thing (understatment) and that it meant that a lot of people had died and also if it was enough to get my mom scared, then it must have been a major thing.

The next day everyone at school was talking about it. The teacher even took time out of class for a discussion. In time of course, we would all come to learn that it had been a terrorist attack on America. So on this the anniversary I decided to post a tribute to 9/11 that I drew last year.

I hope you all like it. I have another drawing I did also in '08 as a tribute but I couldn't find it before I posted this journal. If I find it later I'll post it. Also a video I found on youtube if you guys want to listen to it, it really made me think:

I had another one but it aparently got deleted TT^TT

So do any of you remember where you were when it happened, or when you first heard about it?

Okay, I have been following this person's journal entry for a while now and I feel compelled to tell you all about it.

Relay for life![link]

No, no I'm not asking you to actually run/jog/walk for forever (unless you want to, that would be good too XDD). No I'm asking you to do one of two things. The Lady Pegasus is looking for artist to offer their talents, and a little time to help the cause. If you don't feel like you can help her that way, you can always either donate some money (and snag some cool art while you're at it ^_~) or you can write a journal entry dedicated to her and promoating her good cause. I know it might be a lot to ask for some of you but keep in mind that this money is going towards finding a cure for breast cancer.

"It is estimated that in 2009 there will be 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women and 1,910 cases in men." [link] That's right guys, unbeknownst to many, you can get breast cancer as well.

This was written in 2007 [link] :
"In 2007, an estimated 178,480 new cases of invasive
breast cancer will be diagnosed among women... approximately 40,460 women are expected to die from breast cancer"

"In 2007, about 2,030 cases of breast cancer are expected to occur among men, accounting for about 1% of all breast cancers.5 Approximately 450 men will die from breast cancer."

This was just a quick google to pull up and I am by no means a cancer research specialist or expert. All I know is that I wanted to help in some way. I ended up offering my art so that when people would donate for this cause they might get something in return.

Well that's about all I really have to say on the subject currently, I probably could have given you a lot more facts but I didn't want to make this entry so long lol (that and I have to get to school soon

). If you feel you want to help in some way here is the link to her page [link] same link I have up by the words "relay for life" at the top (not the title).

So that's it for now.

This is Riku Tsumi Signing off.

Ok I'm curious, my friends and I used to do this all the time (mostly during band) my friend Toni came up with it. So I'm curious, if you have five minutes left to live, what would be the most memorible thing you could say.

My top answer was always: Hey what does this button do.

My friend Amanda's was always: No I said cut the blue wire!

So, got any ideas?

By the way, not asking how you die XD just what your last words would be.

What a first question lol, boreing old white sports bra.

3. Do you prefer "sensitive boys" or "tough guys"?
Sensitive lol, because the macho guys you always wonder what they're feeling or thinking and one of the key things in a relationship is communication ^^

4. Do you prefer blond or brunette guys?
Hmmm, judging from my past dating history it's probably brunettes but I don't mind blonds either.

5. Are you currently single?
No... I still find it wierd that he actually likes me as much as he does since I'm the lucky one.

No

Sprint full key board phone, not sure of the exact make. It's the free trade in one lol

PLEASE READ WHAT'S UNDER THIS!!!

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the one who lost close friends when they found out i was bi.

This is the official second one:

[link]

I have to say that I was a little nervous when I seen the first official trailer:

[link]

Because the clips were only from the begining of the movie and not the rest of it. I have found a fan made one that I liked a lot better and that made me nervous that the fan was making a better looking movie than the actual movie makers XD (heres the link in case you're curious: [link] )

But this new one is so much better, and it makes me relieved and eager to see it. Trust me, if you're a Twilight fan and havn't seen this one yet you'll want to check it out ^^ Though I'm still not a fan of how Jake looks as a were wolf (it's too digital looking for my taste) despite the fact that it's almost exactly how it describes him transforming in the book; but the action scenes and how they have Jake jumping into Bella's window and stuff all look awesome. My only fear now is how many scenes from the book they will take out. Hopfully less than Twilight (I had been looking forward to the scene where Edward tells Bella about Carlile's life and the blood typing scene as well as Jake dancing occwardly with Bella).

As for all you non-Twilight fans out there, I found something special for you guys ^^

Heres the link for the spoof: [link] PbAppj00nZo Okay something happened an this link keeps turning into a smiley face for ssome reason so I had to put a space between the = sign and the P sign, So you'll have to click on the link and add the remaining letters numbers ect.

I was a little weary when I clicked on this as they had a picture of a huge buff guy that has no role in Twilight as the cover but decided to look at it anyways. I have to say I chuckled at a few parts. They put a lot of work into it and I have to say are really good with their animation. Unlike a lot of others who hate Twilight (or like it) and put little effort into their make shift Twilight Trailers I have to respect them for doing such a good job on this spoof.

Don't worry I'm not going to give an update on Twilight insiders or all the latest gosip about Twilight XD I don't really keep track of it myself lol.

So that's it for the time being ^^ Hope you enjoyed it ^^

So yea, I zipped off this morning (on time for a change) and ended up being able to make good time down there because the roads were mostly clear. Well I found out why that was. You see, all the normal traffic on the roads, I've found out, are mostly college students. So yea, pretty much the entirty of the Grand Rapids population all decided to crap into one small block around GRCC and Kendall this morning...
-_-''' And so, the traffic jam from hell was formed TT^TT I got there are 9:45, my first class starts at 10:15. I was about a half hour late TT_TT. So yea, but other than that, my school day went well. I get to go and pick up another book I didn't know I needed (until today) for my spanish class tomorrow TT^TT I didn't look at the price, but I'm hoping it adhorridly cheap so I can still get my lap top. So I'll probably skip breakfast and go down there and buy one of those big muffins they have (It's a choice between a taco place or a sub from subway for lunch, the subway like is long though XD). My English teacher is awesome and I learned how to say lick in spanish today

This girl kept saying lama instead of llama (for the phrase me llama ____ or I call myself) and our teacher kept pleading for her not to say it. Until finally he started cracking up and told her it was nothing bad but it just wasn't something she would want to say. Basically lama means lick, she was saying she licks (her name here), so basically she was saying she licks herself ^^u Needless to say it was hard not to crack up. She did eventually get it though. I only have one more class to check out. That is me ASL class tomorrow (three hour lecture -_-''' yay me). My friend Sasha (aka Yasha)-san once said that she suggested that if I ever took an ASL class that I should buy eyedrops... which makes sense as you obviously can't hear the teacher sign things with your eyes closed XD.

Well that's all for now

This is Riku Tsumi Signing off.

Update: this is the picture I took of when I finally decided to wait in line. Like I said in it's description I wish I would have taken the picture earlier when the entire street was back up like this (and it's a one way street too). I tried to add it in here, in case it didn't show up heres the link [link]

Okay, better make this quick, I have to leave in about 20 minutes and I have to dry my hair and stuff yet (Wet hair is annoying). So yea basically WOOT It's the end of summer!!! Jeeze... never thought I'd say that (not since 3rd grade anyways lol). Frankly this summer has been fun but alas, I've had far too much time on my hands XD (especially BEFORE I met Ricky). I didn't have a job or any classes. So I'm really excited to get back to school. I only have three classes right now but I hope to go full time (4 classes) in the winter. These are the classes that I'm going to be having this semester: Intro to Spanish 101, English 101, and Intro to American Sign Languige 171. I am a bit sad that I didn't add an art class to that, but that's just hein sight. In the winter I'd like to take one. Today I get to do this lovely schedual:

10:15am-11:15a.m.: Spanish

11:20: Catch shuttle to the next building (If I don't catch it I have the choice of waiting for the next one and being late or jogging to the sneiden hall, 3 blocks up hill, one more block and then to the second floor of the new building.

11:30: English class starts

Fun huh? lol I also need to find out if they allow bikes on the shuttle in case I don't feel like taking it back ^^ Well I'm off.

Good luck to Ricky on his classes!

Good luck to Jay, Keep on going through high school girl ^^.

Okay, I just got the inkling to do a journal on this, now this is strictly my favorite anime's, not manga...anywho, here goes ^^

1) Yu-Yu-Hakusho: This was actually (aside from pokemon and DBZ) my first ever anime and I always enjoy it no matter how many times I watch it and I cried (that's right, I admit it) when I watched the final episode because it was all over. It's full of action but at the same time the humor always has me laughing out loud. And the charactors are timeless and not even close to being mary sues in my opinion. It's my top anime, here is the link to wikipedia if you want to read up on it: [link] Though I would suggest that you watch the anime and the manga as they somewhat differ (mostly in the begining).

2)Avatar: The last Airbender: Yes, yes I'm aware it's from america, however, it is in the anime style of drawing. Also it is an awesome series. Again, just like Yu-Yu-Hakusho I never get sick of re-watching it even after the last episode. Although it's on nickalodian, a kids channel it has a lot more depth to it than most people would think, my sister (who is grown and out of the house as you all probably know by the pics I provided on one of journal entries) even commented on this after watching Zuko: alone, and episode in the second season. My nephew also likes it so it's not too bad for the younger teens as well. It has plenty of hilarious moments and situations but it also has a lot of action and even some philosiphy. It's my second top anime, here is the wikipedia link if you want to read up on it: [link]

3) Ruroni Kenshin: I love this anime because of the philosiphies it holds. When I watched it as a kid I took a lot of them to heart. Despite it's dark themes that it sometimes has it also has so many hilarious moments that can make you laugh no matter what's going on in the anime. It's also has a bit of history in it. Ruroni Kenshin is my third top anime, here is the link for wikipedia if you want to read up on it: [link]

4) InuYasha: This is a good anime, it has lots of waki moments, plenty of action, crazy attacks and some very interesting charactors. The only thing that spoils it is that is goes on for so long it's hard to keep track of if you're not a die hard fan or didn't start watch it from the begining (I personaly always had to skip every other weekend when it was on because my mom didn't have cable). All and all though it still has a really good place in my heart and is my fourth favorite anime, here is the wikipedia link if you want to read up on it: [link]

5) Code Geass: Honestly I was debating about putting this in here since I havn't actually seen the whole series and I really can't give a fair judgement on it yet but so far it is a good anime, it can get quite dark and it really can make you question what you would do in the charactor situation. It's also full of twists and turns that you had no idea was comeing. However, the funny and quiet moment in this anime are few and far between. However, it doesn't stop me from putting it as my fifth top anime, here is the wikipedia link if you want to read up on it: [link]

6) Samurai Deeper Kyo: I loved this anime at first, but as it went on it got more and more complicated @.@ The ending leaves you guessing though, so don't be disappointed when you watch it XDD However, most of the string are tied up by then, so all in all it's a good anime and it comes in a close second for my fifth place and winds up as my sixth, here is the wikipedia link if you want to read up on it: [link]

So there you have, it ^^ My top five (6 ^^u) anime's. Hope you enjoyed it and maybe I will have helped some of you find new anime's that you will like from now on ^^

I'm going to follow Ricky's example and say: I'm booooooooorrrrrreeeeeddddd TT^TT I'm here at the sprint store trying to get my phone fixed and aparently one of two things are happening (or both), his computer was down at first and he's still trying to fix it, or I've officially done something really bad to my phone and it's really complicated to fix. ^^u I feel kinda bad since there are about 7 other people all standing around waiting to be helped. Anywho, I basically wrote this journal for something to do. ^^U I'm a little afraid since mom is in the car and she's probably starving right now. Since my phones already being worked on I can't ditch. But what ever, I'm sure- TT^TT He just can out saying he has to reset my hardrive, all my picture are going to go bye bye. NUUUUUU I hope he can save this one I have of my sister holding samantha, all the other ones I have already transfurred onto my computer and are safe. Well I'll let you all know the outcome of my dear phone (not that you probably care XDD) tomorrow.

Okay, I put a poll up and most of you said you wanted me to announce the winner early. I've decided I will since you all got the answer so fast. Don't worry those of you who didn't know or didn't get a chance to guess, there will be another one, I've decided as soon as I'm done with the winners choice of a drawing (so that way I can really keep you guys on your toes XD). Next time though, seeing as it's going to be hidden in a journal entry (which I won't title contest XD) I'll wait a week ^^.

So now, the moment you've all been waiting for, drum roll please *drum rolls dramatically and I get handed a random envelop* *takes out answer* The winner is... huh? Oh uh... forgot to mention. This contest actually has two winners ^^u I forgot to mention that you need to put both where the quote is from and who it's by. I told someone but I forgot to put it in the journal entry. So, yea, the first annual quotation and riddles winner (again for lack of a better title) is:

Fumetsu- Hakumei !!!

and

yingyangbabe256 !!!

Congradulations guys ^^

You will each be able to make one request which I will draw and then post on my D.A. page. I'll also put a link to your page on the drawing ^^

Again, thanks to all who participated and better luck next time ^^

]]> =RikuTsumi I always wondered... http://RikuTsumi.deviantart.com/journal/26666386/ http://RikuTsumi.deviantart.com/journal/26666386/ Tue, 18 Aug 2009 08:03:01 PDT

WARNING: Okay, I'm warning you all in advanced, this is a very very sappy romancy journal entry so if you're not in the mood to read you should probably just exit out right now XD

Anywho I was thinking the other day when I was in my sisters hospital room the day after she had her baby and I was thinking about the previous day when almost the entire family had been in the room to see the new addition to the family (who is so freaking cute by the way)and I remember how different I was from the rest of my family.

I had always wondered why. I wasn't adopted or anything and yet I was so...alone. I have a big family on my mom's side but no matter how crowded the room was I always felt alone in a way in both looks and personality. I am the only person in that family to have blond hair and blue eyes (I get this from my dad's side).

My personality and interests are completely different, even my two cousins who are the closest to me in age rarily like the same things I do. My cousin Wesley loves to hunt and is an all out outdoorsmen. He an I mostly fight when he tries to pick on his younger sister who is the youngest of us, only 3 years younger than me. She loves fashion and chwuaua's. I like T-Shirts and my German Shepard husky (which could eat her dog in two bites I'm sure XD).

I am the only one in my family to like anime. >.< I try not to bring it up because the main response to the word anime is "Oh you mean pokemon?" *gags* took me forever to teach my mom not to say that, now she says "Oh you mean that Naruto (Naruutoo) stuff?" *bags head against table*

So I always wondered why I was so different. Why couldn't I just be a tomb boy who loves hunting or a girl who knows the perfect makeup to put on? Why couldn't I like just loony toons and action packed american films? Why did I have to always want to look for the good in people when it's so easy just to believe that they did something wrong for no reason? Or be perfectly comfortible in a room full of people? Why did I have to be born so freaking differently?

Lately I've been finding the answer to those questions (Though I'm pretty sure God's helpin' me out with that). I can safely say that althought it was hard growing up like that; I wouldn't trade it for anything now. My best friend's are all anime freaks (for the most part lol some don't like it but they are also close friends) I have found that, just because they aren't blood related doesn't mean that I can't love them like family. I am a tomb boy but not a hunter, that's helped me be able to do things that a lot of girls wouldn't. I am not the perfect make up artist but I do know how to put some makeup on, and that, I've found, is enough for me because I don't want to hide my face under that mask. I look fine the way I am.

But most of all right now, I think that I was born different so that way I could be happy. Happy with a man that I feel like I've known for so long and yet haven't known for very long. There's so much I know I don't know about him yet but I look forward to finding out and growing closer to him. I love him with all my heart and I think part of that is only possible because of how I am as a person now. I know I still have a lot of growing up to do but for fight now, I'm merely content with what I have and all I ask is that God let me enjoy it for a little while longer.

I know this was a long journal entry but thanks for bearing with me ^^

Okay every body, now I believe most of you have, by now heard of my contest idea. I am going to try this out shortly. After this first contest I am going to put the quote in one of my journals next month that I will post when ever. So in other words, you all won't know when I am going to actually hold this contest making it a little more dificult for some of you. This time however, seeing as I am simply, for the most part, testing this contest out to see how much of a response I am going to get. I would like each of you to give me some kind of answer, because, even if the first person who replies to this gets their answer in before you, they could, in short, get it wrong. Also even if you think someone got it right you could put in your next best guess. So, with out further adu, here is the first quote of the first (and hopefully not the last) monthly "name that quote" (for lack of a better name at the moment):

"...What Miss. ____ says is sweet an innocent talk, that only those whos hands have never been stained in the blood of man can believe. But to tell you the truth, I much prefurr miss. ____'s sweet and innocent talk over the truth indeed I do."

I have purposfully blanked out the names in the quotation so that way it's not too easy for you guys (even though it is quite easy lol). I will reveal the answer and the winner next week Friday (though there might be journals in between this ^^u).

The winner will be able to request one piece from me, which I will ask for in a note so the drawing is a secret til it's post ^_~ Hope you all like ^^

Ok... ^^u so maybe there wasn't exactly a shower of falling stars, it was more like a few stars about a second apart and then 10 minutes or so later there would be a few more.

But never the less last night I was able to be with this amazing guy I've come to know and love and was able to share this rare expirience. And by rare I mean it'll be about 130 years before it happens again. This made it even more special. I even was able to wish on one of them. Ricky and I had tried to see it the first of the two nights but I was horribly tired (by this I mean I had to take a 2 hour nap from 9pm til 11pm just to get rid of the headache I had) and after about 10minutes Ricky was the only one to see a star. So we decided to watch the stars the next night.

At about mid-night we went out. He was able to spot the first one (in which I pouted since he had seen 2 so far and I'd seen none TT^TT) but then I got him back by seeing two in a row. After about 20 minutes we still haddn't seen one togeather but I convinced him to stay out a bit longer. We took some lawn chairs out into the back yard (we joked that while we weren't looks a whole bunch probably shot accross the sky whispering 'now they're not looking!'

and sat on those so our necks could have a rest. We then both got to see a few togeather. It was an amazing site. At the end of the night I was sadly forced to leave (reluctantly). As he kissed me good bye we both agreed that that night had been amazing and that we probably would never forget it. ^_^

I just found this really cool feature I never knew about until now. It's basically the stats page under summery. I don't know why but Ijust think it's really cool how they put it. Mine is as follows:

"RikuTsumi has 1,543 pageviews total and her 21 deviations were viewed 473 times. She watches 15 people, while 22 people watch her.

Overall, her deviations received 123 comments and were added to deviants' favourites 44 times, while she commented 449 times, making about 6.04 comments per day since she joined DA. This means that she gave 37 comments for every 10 that she received.

Her deviation with the most comments is The hand fate has given us with 17 comments, while her most favourited one is Ichigo Kurosaki, with 6 favourites. Her most viewed deviation is Me with 49 views.

4 favourites were given for every 10 comments.

Every 3.5 days she uploads a new deviation, and it's usually on a Friday, with 11 (52%) of her deviations.

Her busiest month was July 2009 with 12 (57%) of her deviations.

The majority of her deviations are uploaded to the fanart gallery (10), while her favourite category was traditional>movies with 5 deviations.

Comments per deviation: 5.85

My idea for a contest is that, at the begining of the month I will post a quote or a riddle in a journal entry. Who ever guesses it right get's to make a spacific request for a drawing. Keep in mind that there will be certain restrictions (like I won't draw hentai ect. because I don't like to do works of art that I have to slap a mature content thing on, I want everyone to be able to enjoy it) but for the most part you can ask me to do what ever you want. I will also add possible special bonuses as the possibility presents itself (namely when I have the money and or time XD) I'm putting this out as an idea for you all, depending on your responses (as well as the number of responses) I will post the idea ^^

My question to you all is... Who is most precious to you and why?

For me it's Ricky. A lot has happened to me that has hurt me deeply and caused scares that are really deep but Ricky has been there for me a lot lately and it's meant a lot to me. He also can make me laugh (a true one not a fake one), which very few of my friends can do (my friend Neko-San is a good example).

So, Who is most precious to you guys?

I just started playing it a little over 2 days ago and already I think it says I've been on it about 20 hours. I'm addicted lol. So yea, Okami thy name is A.D.D. or at least for me it is XD.

Grey-Man the first day and the second I went as myself in a black and red silk chinese style dress with matching shoes and black sik pants so I wouldn't show anything I didn't want to since the slits up the side of the dress went really high up ^^u Anywho, I had tons of fun, met lots of people and got to hang out with people I haddn't seen in forever!

Well that's all for now =^^=
