She's very funny, talented, and would really like people to see her art. Mai is just starting on dA, so drop her a line and say hello!

In other news, I am leaving. BUT ONLY FOR 10 DAYS.

I'll be going to NYC from June 27 - July 8, so that means little internet time. I'll try and upload stuff before I leave (to prevent my account from completely dying).

I'll update my journal the day before I leave, 'kay?

ALSO.

Please visit me at myspace: [link]

I know. Just do it.

Thanks to my ingenius mother, we are moving to the opposite side of our development this weekend. Why? Because she doesn't like our current house. Stupid reason, I know.

We'll be moving the essentials right now (clothes, soaps, entertainment [i.e. computer], delicates, etc.) and for the rest of the week we'll be going back and forth between houses to get everything else there.

So there goes my week.

And since we decided to move, we wanted the internet to be turned off and moved Friday, or it was the original plan. My mom called the DSL place up and told them to instead do it on Monday, but I guess it never went through 'cuz now I don't have the internet. My dad called them back, but they refuse to turn it back on until Monday 'cuz they don't want to deal with all the paperwork (lazybastards).

I have to use my grandma's computer across the street!!!! The mouse is the size of my index finger, the keyboard is shorter than my arm, and the chair only goes up to the middle of my thigh. And I age faster than the computer goes.

This sucks.

I just want this weekend to be over, so then I'll be at school all day and won't have to move anything.

And next weekend is the Satie Hawkin's Dance, so that'll be my motivation to get me through this o_o. The theme was "Adventures in Wonderland", so I'll be going as a female Mad Hatter xD complete with a tophat with the 10/9 tag and teapot earrings So at least that's good.

This is gonna a long weekend...

I'm not dead, don't worry; just being my usual procrastinating self, so I'm already know this whole holiday thing is way too late. I've been doing fine. A little stressed, but that'll be in detail farther down. But oh how I miss listening to myself type (man, I gotta practice) and I can wait to fill y'all in on the happenings of myself.

Now let's see, how many holidays did I fail to comment/draw pictures/tell what presents I got on? Ah yes--THREE.

Christmas was pretty good; I got some neat gifts, but I can't remember them all at once. One thing I wanna mention, though, is the alarm clock that I got. I'd desparately been needing one for the past few months because my original alarm clock had a tendency to change times on random, so it would never set the alarm at the right time and I would sleep in. Well, with this new alarm clock, it has 3 cool settings: 1) it has a night-light that will turn on really soft 30 min. before my alarm setting (while slowly growing brighter), 2) a natural sound setting that plays a variety of nature sounds 15 min. before my alarm, and 3) a natural fragrence of your choice that fills the room that also turns on 30 min. before my alarm.

However. This the light doesn't wake me up, the sounds are annoying as Hell, and the scents either don't work or smell really bad. And along with that, the minute the clock finally hits whatever alarm time I set it to, everything shuts off and a loud, high-pitched, screeching goes off that scares the sugar outta me. So, I'm kinda having mixed feelings about it.

New Years was pretty cool. Drank apple cider--LIQUIDOFTHEGODS--, watched "Poseidon", which is basically a bad rip-off of "Titantic", and said my resolutions. I won't repeat them here, but they were basically about getting off my lazy ass and doing something this year (I had about 3 or 4 of 'em).

And now the third holiday. MY B-DAY!!!!!11!11!11!!111111!!1one Yesh folks, I finally turned 15! Woo! Though, I had a rather small party. I just went to the mall with my mom, bought a few things, but I got a new haircut! Everyone says that I look really pretty with it, and for once I actually agree with them! I love it! I'll have to post a picture sometime.

I got a bunch of cool stuff for my birthday, but ya wanna know what the best gift of all was? I got an iPod. Yes, a real iPod, none of that "mini" or "nano" crap, but the original. So far I have 251 songs on it :3

I do miss my CD player, but it's nice to have an iPod.

So, that's about it. Just wanted to inform the public and my watchers just exactly what I've been up to for the past few weeks.

Sayonara!

...but I'm not! xD

I went to the mall this afternoon to get my friends some presents and some stuff for myself (yes, I am fully aware that Xmas is in 9 days ) While I was there, I saw a couple of my friends from middle school. Man, have they changed! They look so different, and yet they still act the same.

The actual trip to the mall was horrible, though. I think there was some kind of memo throughout the whole town that was, "Hey! Let's ALL go to the mall at the exact same time!!" I've never felt clausterphobic in a mall before, but I did then. I didn't even bother going to Bath and Body Works; there were women loitering everywhere! I felt sorry for the poor cashiers >.>

Niichan is being pissy again. Nothing new.

Oh, right. Finals. (PLEASE SHOOT ME) Finals are going well, I guess. World Geography and Gym were really easy, but my Latin and Speech exams are on Monday.

I'm not too worried about them, but the ones I am worried about are English and Chemistry. The English Final is HUGE and will make or break my grade (I got a 67 on one of my essay -_-), and I don't understand Chemistry as it is >.>

So, yeah. IM me please! Give me a reason to do something else!

Yeah, I know things are about a gagillion times better than they used to be a few months ago, but I'm just not in the best of moods. Mom's being a bitch, I'm being a bitch, my brother's being a bitch (and an emo); I guess we're all in the same boat now.

I know I should be happy that tomorrow is Halloween--the day that we all go out to demand candy to complete strangers and later gourge ourselves on the many tasty treats we received--but I don't even think that'll cheer me up. The area that I live in isn't the best for tricker-treating (no one freakin' LIVES here), so that's out of the question. And if that's also the case, then I guess passing out candy would be pointless because, well, why would any little kid come all the way out here??

Another thing about Halloween, though, is the fact that I'm not as excited as I used to be. When I was little, Halloween was like a second Christmas to me. I could barely sleep the night before and I couldn't possibly contain myself the whole day to wait until I started to get my costume ready and go out. Now it's more of a "weather conversation" type of thing. I don't think I enjoy things like I used to. I'm always cooped up in my closet with my computer either doing my homework, aimlessly surfing the web, or avoiding my family (specifically my relatives who moved here a couple months ago). I feel like I've become detached from them, like I'm sleep walking while I'm awake when I'm at home, and whenever someone gets mad at me or makes a comment about me, I lose my mind and snap.

And I mentioned homework. School has been at its worst; the worst I've ever had. My grades are fine, all A's, but my stress-tolerance is about to reach its limit right now. When it's not a big report that I procrastinated on, it's an art project that I'm not finished with or a chapter test that I didn't study for. High school is too much for me and I feel like I'm gonna fall off at any moment or pop from the pressure.

I just don't know what to do.

My inspiration at the moment is at 0 as well. I'm getting a few ideas here and there (and I remember to write them down), but whenever I actually sit down to write or draw them out, I immediately stop because I think it's worth crap and just go back to doodling. No need to thank me though; Moo decided to ditch me when I really needed her, so now I've got an empty Inspiration Box ontop of a sinking mind. Just my luck.

This is only the tip of the iceburg of what I'm feeling right now. I've never been really good with filtering emotions into words (which is just fabulous considering the fact that I want to be an author), so I don't think I'd be able to explain to you guys in the clearest terms for you to understand.

And I don't really care if someone bothered to read this. Call me emo if you want, too. I don't care. I'm not really in the mood right now.

I guess you could say that I'm also selfish, because my dear friend ~01darke is having an even worse time right now.

If you guys could spare the time, drop her a line and give her a few words of comfort; she needs it more than I do.

I'm only typing this 'cuz I need to get it off my chest, though the weight will still be there. I'll try and get Moo off her lazy butt and draw something for Halloween for y'all, if I ever get around to it with all this stupid homework in the way.

Bonus, meus amicitia

Wow. Today was actually a pretty good day ._.

Well, besides the fact that I've been crammed with papers to sign and a completely new "school-supplies-to-buy" list, it went rather smoothy

Now let's see.... how about a synopsis for the day:

Last night: Horrible. I went to bed @ 10:30 PM and fell asleep @ 2:00 AM. And then I woke up @ 5:30 AM to get ready. That's 3 1/2 hours of sleep!!

This Morning: Very jittery. I kept looking outside to make sure that the bus wouldn't come before-hand. I also woke up too early and had nothing to do for an hour or so.

First-Day-of-School-Outfit: Perfect~! Well, almost. The black skirt was a little too long, but otherwise it was perfect. I had on a modern kimono jacket (very thin, very smooth, very light) with the colors blue, red, gray, and black, a bright blue tank-top underneath, and a smooth, black skirt. And to top it all off, I had my hair pulled up and in a clip.

Bus Ride: Meh. Not too bad. Though we did get stuck in a crapload of traffic which really ticked me off. But otherwise okay.

A1 - Speech: First off, I arrived late thanks to my stupid bus, which made me face the utter embarrassment of being the last one to class [:insert blush when 20-some kids, most of whom are sophmores or juniors, are all staring at you:]. The teacher was nice, though the feeling in the room itself was very awkward and quiet; not the best feeling for your first class.
I did, however, see this hawt guy in my class. His name is Spencer--or, at least, that what he goes by--and he's freakin' GORGEOUS! And I think he's either a sophmore or a freshman
Everyone else in the class were really nice, and I could have sworn that there was a guy flirting with me (.:blush!:.)
-Grade for class (so far): B

A2 - Latin 1: This class. is. f^cking. awesome. The teacher, Mr. McGee, is hilarious and he's comfortable and relaxed when he teaches (which makes me relax ). And, surprisingly, he's the only one that taught me anything the whole day!
However, I never realized how hard Latin was @.@!! Mr. McGee told us that whenever he'd enter the classroom, he would say to us, "Salvēte discipulÄ« (plural ‘Hello’)!", and we [the class], would reply, "Salvē Magister! ('hello' to one person--male teacher)!", and all kinds of stuff like that.
He even gave out homework on the first day! But I finished it in class, so it was no big deal for me
-Grade for class (so far): A

A3 - PreAP English 1: Wow; this teacher is really cool! A little crazy, but cool. Her name is Mrs. Zeigler (pronounced "Mrs. Zigler" apparently) and I like the things she teaches and how she runs her class.
She's a very wacky, energetic, happy person who loves freshman and English and she has a lot planned for us.
Not much else I can say 'bout her, though. Guess I'll have to see her a little more to give a full synopsis.
However, it -was- a pain in the arse to find. (--"Where the hell is room 223?!!?!!11"--)
-Grade for class (so far): B

C LUNCH: Okay. Good and bad news with this one.
The good news is that it's in the middle of English (60 min.) and when we come back, there's only 30 min. left in class.
The bad news is that I don't know anyone else in C Lunch. That, and Bryce sat next to me. I hate Bryce. I mean, "wanna-rip-out-his-intestines-through-his-ass-and-force-feed-them-back-
down-his-throat" kind of hate.
Maybe next time I'll be able to sit next to my cousins instead.
Though, there was one good thing about Lunch. Back in Speech, I told this one guy that I could speak Japanese, and then whenever I passed him in the halls, he'll shout, "She can speak Japanese!!!" Well, when he did that when I passed him after lunch and he said that, a guy next to him was like, "You can speak Japanese?! That's f^cking awesome!" My smile was so big my cheeks hurt. He introduced h... ]]> ~RyceBowl http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/9728646/ http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/9728646/ Mon, 14 Aug 2006 18:35:28 PDT

Yeah. My happy 1 year anniversary at dA just went down the drain.

I thought I'd be able to get away with sleeping all day or just quietly celebrating, but no; here I am, typing away in the dark, feeling like the worst person on the entire planet.

And it's all because I didn't wear my retainer. My mom and dad got on my case about it this morning, and of course they used the usual guilt-trip on me, but this time they brought up the issue of money. I wouldn't have been fazed that much if there weren't certain circumstances, but now-a-days money's kinda tight, so that made me feel even worse.

I'm wearing it at the moment, but now I don't really feel like doing anything. But I will tell you all the omens of a bad first day of school I've gotten:

Omen 1: Odd times on bus arrivals
Omen 2: A shot that hurt for a little too long
Omen 3: Finishing summer reading in one month, a week before school
Omen 4: EXTREMELY bad thunderstorm that took out the electricity for several hours and our DISH antenna
Omen 5: Guilt-trip for retainer
Omen 6: Not being able to sleep or wake up early

6 omens. Makes me feel real happy 'bout going to school now, doesn't it?

Wow. What a crappy first year at dA. I wonder if next year is going to be as bad.

Knowing Murphy's Law, it probably will. ]]> ~RyceBowl http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/9679819/ http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/9679819/ Thu, 10 Aug 2006 15:23:07 PDT Mood:

And that's really good, because school for me starts in 5 days :faints: Poor niichan, ~Aizeol, hasn't finished yet, and he's still got a long way to go.

In other news, life at RyceBowl's house is just peachy [sarcasm].

I GOT ME SCHEDULE TODAY!!!!

Woohoo! That means that school is in 8 days! I'll get to see my friends again and meet new teachers. I'll get to smell the fresh-school-smell, have my binder neatly organized and see how long that lasts, I'll have A-B days, I'll be in the same school as my niisan, I'll get new friends, I'll--

Wait a second. I'll be a freshman . A fish. Freshmeat. Low man on the totem-pole. The one person that everyone looks down upon.

Aw @!$#

Well, at least it's exciting that it'll be my first day of High School (that's always fun). However, don't be surprised if you come upon my, "OMFG!!!!!!!!111 I'M GONNA DIE! EVERYTHING WILL GO WRONG! GOD HAVE MERCY ON ME!!11!1" entry about a day before. I usually have to go through every possible thing that could go wrong when something like this happens.

School is a definite, and others might be birthdays, special family trips, drawing/school projects, or anything else of the sort is what I freak-out about. Don't worry. It's normal.

But anyway, I won't waste anymore time. Here's my schedule:

A-Day:
-Speech (1 Semester)
-Latin 1
-Pre-AP English 1
-Chemistry

B-Day:
-World Geography
-Gym

I think it's rather ironic that if Art and Speech were switched, A-Days would be dubbed "Awesome-Days", and B-Days would be dubbed "Boorish-Days" (or anything that means "horrible" starting with a 'B'). At least it'll give me motivation to help myself throughout the day.

But the plus-side of having Gym 2nd on B-Days (besides the fact that it's 2nd) is that it means that I'll have first period lunch! Score!

On a different subject, I noticed that on August 13th I will officially be on dA for a full year. Wow, that went by fast. Just yesterday I remember uploading that scrap of Abby, and today I submited one of my greatest works on a tablet.

Though I hope y'all are making presents for me Nothing major; just sumthin' special and simple is what I'm looking for. And I'll be sure to make someone something if they do the same

Well, guess I'd better be going. Gotta start drawing again.

I fainted this morning. Badly.

I woke up at about 8:30 AM or so (I barely got ANY sleep the night before, btw) and all of a sudden I got a horrible pain in my lower stomach. It's not the kind of stomach aches that I usually get, no; this felt like someone took three acid-covered, rusty spoons and stabbed me in the stomach in three different areas and started to slowly twist them, jerking the spoons whenever I moved. Sounds painful, ne?

Along with that, my head felt light and cloudy (and not in the good way) and I could barely hold onto one coherent thought.

But, of course, being the dumbass that I am, I thought that if I went to the bathroom it wouldn't hurt as much.

Warning #1: When I got up, I had to struggle to keep my balance. Sure I just got up, but wouldn't you be a little suspicious when you can barely stand after you got up out of bed?

Warning #2: Have you ever been really tired that you decide to stretch really hard, and when you do, you see a bunch of little white and yellow dots? That's what I began to see when I stepped out of my room, except there were so many that I could barely see anything for a couple minutes.
If a stranger were to come upon me, they would have thought that I was drunk. My entire body was swaying back and forth, my hands holding onto the side of the ledge and my eyes staring off into space. By then I should have just turned around.

Warning #3: When I finally made it to the toilet and sat down I had to sit completely still because if I moved ever so slightly I would fall over. The foggy-ness was still over me as well, so I was once again staring off, the little dots now only on the rims of my sight.

Now here it comes. The faint.

Since I was done doing my business--which didn't help in the first place--I of course bent down to pull my underwear and pants back up. It seemed as if I couldn't grasp them in my weak state, but when I looked down to see what I was doing, it took only a second for me to white-out. I say white-out because, for some reason, instead of everything around me turning to black, it turned to a blinding white and yellow color and it felt as if time had frozen, my body becoming numb and heavier.

I didn't even feel much less hear myself fall, but when I came back, I found myself laying down in the bathtub, my underwear and pants tangled legs dangling over the edge. The fall seemed to have woken up the whole household, and when I heard my father coming to the bathroom, I quickly pulled up my underwear.

I saw my dad in the doorway for a split second before the white-ness took me again. I didn't faint that time because I could still feel the bathtub and hear my dad talking to me and walking over, it's just I couldn't see. Some things I remember saying in my white-numbness state to my dad is a sort of strangled, "Dad..dad, I'm in pain.." That must have scared the sh!t outta 'im. But think about it, I could barely hold onto a single thought and now I had to explain to my dad why I had fallen in the tub?

I eventually could see everything again, and after a while, I was able to get back up with the help of my dad and back to my room to lay down.

I feel fine now, a little light-headed and quesy when I move around, but none-the-less fine. But, out of the whole experience I had this morning, the thing that scared me the most wasn't the actual fainting part, but when I couldn't see anything past the little dots. Never in my life have I not been able to see and that scared me, knowing that there was something wrong with my body that was blinding me.

Although, if this happens again, my mom says that she wants to take me to the hospital. Man, I feel like an old person

'Got a call on my cell a while ago from some guy I didn't know. He sounded about 17 or so to me, and he started off saying, "Hey girl, how's it going?"
Of course, whenever I get these kind of calls, I just say "I'm sorry Sir/Ma'am, but you have the wrong number." So, when I did say it, I was waiting for the "Oh I'm sorry", but what I got instead was, "(CENSOR)(CENSOR)(CENSOR)."

Yeah, it was THAT bad. He started to "talk" to me, if you know what I'm saying, and I just angrily hung-up. The nerve!! I'm only 14 for crying out loud!!!!

But it didn't stop there--oh no. He continued to call me 4 more times, every minute. One time he said, "Say, what are you doing tonight?" or "Wanna know what I'm doing?" And, being the well-brought-up and mannered girl I was raised as, I politely replied, "Do you think I give a shit?!" and "None of your business."

So I decided to give my cellphone to my dad incase he calls again. And when he does, my dad's gonna give 'im hell. And if he *keeps* calling, I'll sick the police on 'im.

I'm so disgusted and yet so nervous. I may have acted brave, but I was shaking the whole time. I hope he doesn't keep calling; that'll make me paranoid to even leave my house from then on!

Help me out guys. I need some advice. ]]> ~RyceBowl http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/9336860/ http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/9336860/ Mon, 10 Jul 2006 20:42:53 PDT !!

((I don't know why I used DL as a title. He's my new fetish xD He's soooo hot...))

For those of you who do not know, I GOT GLASSES!! They're so cool! And they're bluuu~! <3 I'm near-sighted, so I had to get 'em. And when I put them on, the world is so different! I can read stuff that I couldn't before-hand.

However, I do mess with them a lot and I like to rest them on my head like sunglasses. And when I do, my mom gets all bitchy and says, "You shouldn't do that to your glasses! Lenses don't cost 10$ you know!" No crap.

But the reason I'm kinda nervous yet kinda excited is because I'm going on a field trip w/ Expo to Six Flags! I'm so happy to be going!! Though, since I'm not in Expo, you may be wondering why I get to go. Because Enhanced Science gets to go I'm taking with me 4 cameras, my wallet, and my cellphone.

I'm nervous, though because I've never ridden a rollercoaster before. I just hope I won't puke or something

I was nervous that the kids on my bus would be all, "You're outta dress-code. Yer gonna get in trouble." (My school has a really strict dress-code. Imagine this: Orange/Tan/Grey/White polo shirt, tucked in, belt, Tan/Grey/White/Black pants/capris/skirts/shorts. THAT'S. IT.) I don't like the kids on my bus anyway, so I'll just reply, "I'm allowed to 'cuz I'm going to Six Flags and you're not." Though it will be weird on the bus w/ no bookbag or CD player.

But the worst part about the trip is that we're gonna spend and hour to an hour n'a half on a regular, crumy, not-air conditioned bus with a cranky bus driver. Fun.

Well, I hope you guys enjoy your mondays as well! And happy Mommy Day

You might think of me as a ordinary teenager living an ordinary life, going on with ordinary things, leading to what might be, the end of a wasted, ordinary life. But I don't see it as that way. I see myself as a privliged and, as my Reading teacher would call me, precocious individual trying to make her mark on the world. I've been interested in writing, reading, and drawing for who-knows-how-long, and I've come to the conclusion that I want to be a writer and an artist. Not a money greedy, overly glamorous pop-idol or camera-hungry, heart-breaking actress; but an writer and artist. Ever since I could think my first thought, I've constantly been rambling on and on all kinds of story ideas in my head that I crave to bring out. However, no one ever said that it would be easy. And I knew this. And as an individual thinker, I believe there are times when we should be a pessimist and times when we should be an optimist; and when it comes to one's dreams, one should never be a pessimist.

But as I go on, there is another reason that I would like to become a writer/artist. Not just because I love the idea of expressing my ideas and creativity, but because of the fact that I am a teenager growing up in the kind of society today. In being an artist, you get to notice things that others might not see. Even in this day-and-age, I notice poverty, greed, lust, envy. Also liers, whores, pimps, secretive government officials, back-stabbers, and the glitter and glam that is the U.S. But what sticks out of this land that we live on is the adolecence of it. All over the internet, they pour out their hearts and souls in their beliefs and opinions and their own pieces of art, and I think that they are all fabulous ideas. But even because of this fact, teens are still ignored, underrated, kicked-around, and basically treated poorly just because of their age. Older people believe that it is a teens job to just sit there and look pretty. Teenagers are naive and stupid and only interested in drugs and sex. They ignore us when we're doing fine, but the moment that we make the slightest mistake, we make it to the front page of the news. Teenagers are mistreated in so many ways that it's not even funny.

And even though I have no right to speak in this matter because I do not know every single fact about it, I'd still like to express my concern towards my fellow brother and sister and would like to touch upon this matter. I've seen et everywhere, not just on the internet, of teenagers , whether 13 or 19, being told my adults and other teenagers that their work is a waste of time and that they aren't important. All I wish is for it to stop, and for everyone of any sex, religion, and color, to look past that and just become friends.

I want to show others that those of us do have ideas and that we want to be hear. We're not just for show; we have just as much purpose in this world as older people do, so you just shut up and listen. And I quote Anne Frank, a meer 13 year-old who spoke out to millions, "I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out." And that is exactly what I will do.
And though this little passage that I took about a half-an-hour may not matter to others, it means a lot to me. It is the starting point for my 14th year of living, and I will most certainly not waste it.

I'll-take-away-all-of-your-possessions-besides-your-clothes" lecture.

--

Feeling kinda iffy right now. I couldn't go to the dance, so I got to stay home which left me to argue and bicker with my brother while my mom slept. But I'm not gonna linger on et, because I'm over et by now.

But I'm really nervous right now because my dad will be coming back home at 11 o' clock-ish and, like every other time he comes home, he gives be the lecture in which I have stated in my "Currently". Now, all the other times were pretty bad and I always felt like complete shit afterwards, but they don't even come close to what my dad is gonna give me now.

See, on Wedsndays, I have to do the litter (i.e. replace liner, replace newspaper on pan, sweep extra litter; stuff like that). And the day before, my mom reminded me about et so I could be ready the day after. And my reaction to it, as well as everything my mom tells me, was "I know". So it's Wedsnday night, and I'm replacing the lining in the two pans and putting the new litter when I realize and my mom realizes that I've forgotten to take the dirty newspaper under the pans out. So my mom starts yelling at me but I just ignore.

Now, a little while later, I realize that my mom has not taken the two litter bags out like I asked her two. So I start taking them out, and my mom (who is talking on the phone in the living room) stops me by telling me that she was planning on taking them out. She then notices that there is a trail of litter on the floor and that I need to sweep it up. And you know what I said? "I know". Oh, my mom lost it.

She started screaming at me that "she can't take this shit anymore" and that "I'm not a slave in this household". I can't remember what exactly I said, but I do know that I started talking back to my mom in a real "I'm a bitch" kinda way.

So I've sweeped up the remaining litter and my mom wants me to talk on the phone. At this point, I realize that my mom was talking to my dad on the phone. I'm scared to death at this point, and my way to get out of it is by saying in a really brat-like way, "I do not wanna talk right now." But my mom makes me anyway, and just to add insult to injury, I say (in a very loud voice; just enough for my dad on the phone to hear), "Fine. I might as well just get ranted at now then later."

Long story short: I'm a bitch, and if I don't start giving my mom some respect and doing my chores w/o being reminded, I'm gonna start living like an Omish person.

Man, I never realized exactly how much of a bitch I am. I'm a bitch towards my brother, which I don't really care about because he's a prick, but I never took notice at the point when I was being bitchy to my own parents. I thought I was better than my brother in that category (respectful to one's parents), but boy was I wrong. I feel like absolute shit because I finally see how I've been acting lately: a selfish, self-centered, stuck-up bitch who can't care about things to save her life. I can't seem to set my priorities straight because when I think about a chore I gotta do in 30 min., my brain suddenly switched to the computer, making et more important, and I forget about the chore entirely.

So as you can tell, I'm in a pretty bummed-out mood, so ef anyone would care to talk that'd really cheer me up.

Thanks for listening.

Well, et seems that the main Water Supply Area decided that it was Dumbass Day and has now (accidently) shut off all water. So now I will have to go without a shower and a bathroom break, probably, until tomorrow or the next day. That just puts the cherry on top of a perfect weekend.

So, tomorrow, I'll have to resort to putting on five layers of deodorant and not eating or drinking anything. Fun.

In better news, I finally finished editing the first part of the first chapter of my story. I won't post et, but I am planning on showing et to my friends. Especially my friend De-kun (De-kun is actually a girl, but she likes et when I call her that. Besides, she's really tuff, so she's more like a guy ). She and I have this obsession over "The Outsiders", so I know she'll like et.

Et took me a while, but I'm rather confident about my story. Never before have I thought out an entire story plot like I have done with this. I think et'll come out rather nicely ^ ^

Yep, you guessed it; I'm sick. I have been since Friday. And et's just been oodles of fun. I'm fine now, but my throat continues to be stubbornly dry. Stupid allergies...

But anyway, I was arguing with my family (niisan and kaasan) and et seems that the new rule of the house-hold is: at the beginning of every week, if someone does a chore 1st, they get to pick the music to play on the stereo for the whole week. I'm not going to go into detail on how we got into the argument, but we all started argued and I, obviously, didn't win. So now, I'll be listening to Drowning Pool, Three Days Grace, and Linkin Park for the rest of the week, thanks to my niisan (can you say...."poser"?)

So, moving on. I'm feeling kinda neutral lately. Whenever I get upset, I suddenly feel uninvolved and don't care anymore. I'll be guilty one minute, and then suddenly flip and go onto something else. I don't wanna get into detail about it, but I think this has been going on longer than I think et has before I noticed et. And I think et started when my otoosan started traveling more often. But I don't want to get into that right now. I want this entry to be relatively short.

Now then; I thought I'd get some opinions. I rewrote the first chapter to my greaser story to the basic outline of what I want, and I wanna know people's opinions. So, before I post et officially, I wanna know what I should add and what I should get rid of.

Here ya go.

What's Between a Greaser and a Soc?
--Chapter 1--
(Rough Draft)

W.B.G.S.? – Chapter 1
(Rough Draft)

Why is it, that, no matter what you look like or what your personality is, guys only seems to fall for a girl with a size -5 and her bosom going up to her chin? The thought crossed my mind as I sat in the passenger seat of Black’s Ford, chewing on the last bit of my cheeseburger and watching a couple of cheerleaders sit around a café table, giggling and talking. They all look like they’re cut from the same cloth; long blonde/red/brown, bouncy hair with big blue/green/brown eyes and perfect skin with perfect bodies and the most perfect, expensive outfits money can buy. It’s not like I’m ugly or anything – I have long, straight black hair and grayish-blue eyes with a decent figure and skin completion and okay looking jeans and t-shirts – but when I look at all of them in there tiny skirts and with their dashing boyfriends from inside a dirty, old truck; I can’t help but reconsider.
I live by myself in a lousy apartment building while working part-time at a diner called “Benny’s Burgers” and the only real friend I have is a crazy hoodlum by the name of Black Craig (who’s real name is Beatrice). I’m okay where my grades are at, though. I get an ‘A’ in everything but Calculus (a ‘B’ average) and I’m #1 in my division of gymnastics, so I think I’m safe there. But it can be rather difficult when you don’t have any parents to go home and show them to.
Heh, Black would probably hit me if she knew what I was saying. She thinks I’m too hard on myself and that I never cut myself any slack. She believes that people like cheerleaders won’t get anywhere in life and will end up hobos on the side of the street. Black can be a little eccentric at times and over exaggerate things, but she’s just smart like that. She knows the score. And I know she’s right, too, but I just can’t help but feel the way I do.
My train of thought was broken when I heard the car door slam and an angry Black climb into the driver’s seat.
“Did you get her?” I asked. Black glanced at me with a censorious look.
“Nah, the little cur managed to hitch a ride with her boyfriend ‘fore I could catch ‘er,” she said. I nodded and tossed her a pack of cigarettes I found in the seat. Black lit up one and took a long puff before turning back to me. “How is et? She didn’t hit ‘cha too hard, did she?”
I rubbed my cheek where it had turned red. I could feel a small gash where her nails had scratched me but I shoo... ]]> ~RyceBowl http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/7528944/ http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/7528944/ Fri, 06 Jan 2006 17:50:56 PST ]]> ~RyceBowl http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/7519713/ http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/7519713/ Thu, 05 Jan 2006 17:16:35 PST Mood: Duuurrr...

Yeah! No homework today I am free to frollic on ze compie until the sun rises (...or until I go to bed). But this will also give me time to read the 3 books I checked out at the library. I hope that I don't get mixed up from switching from story to story @.@

On another subject, I've finally been inspired to draw something~! .:le gasp:.
Yes, indeed, I have the urge to draw something. But not just something; someone. I have, ironically, been inspired to draw my own muse. The way I thought of this is about 2 days ago, I was sitting at my compie (like I usually do), and I suddenly thought of how I always obsess over one thing and then suddenly switch over to something totally different or how I gush over 5 zillion things at the same time. And then I thought, "Man, my muse must have ADD or something." And then I had et!

So yes, I have a weird muse. I'll be putting her pic up soon, but her name is Moo, and she is the complete opposite of myself. She has a strange fetish over hats (her favorite being a beret), has the most bizarre style of fashion, the most abstract and crazy of personality; the only thing that's the same about me and Moo is that her main hair-style is like mine (short, brown, "bob" style). And when I say "her main hair-style", I mean that because she has the ability to change her appearance. However, she can't make herself look exactly like someone else. Moo can get close, but not exact.

--

Everyone at my school is now freaking out about their Xanga. I mean, I have a xanga, too; I just never update >.>. I think that Xanga is rather boring, but hey, "whatever floats yer boat".

But anyway, the reason they're freaking out is because some of the Girls Athletes had been on the school computers updating their xanga. Well, the coach got really mad because she said that those kinds of sites are inappropriate and she gave them a lecture to be careful about what they post there. The matter was then solved, but the principle is thinking about looking at everybody's xanga (ef they have one).

I personally don't care about that sort of thing, but when I heard about what the principle had said, I got kinda mad because that's an invasion of privacy. Would you like your principle reading your journal entries? I thought not.

But everyone at my school absolutely LOVES Xanga. Why? Whatever happened to LiveJournal? GreatestJournal? AolBlogs? MySpace? Why the sudden change over to Xanga? I don't see what's so special about et.

--

Just a short little snipet: I just lately had an inspiration to write about Vampires suddenly (once again, Moo's fault ). I don't know why, but I just wanna write in detail more about my Vampires and their stories.

Maybe I should start drawing them again >.>....

Man, I sure have been lazy lately. You guys probably already noticed, but I've been browsing dA and faving a lot of pictures (because they ROCK! ^ ^) instead of actually posting anything.

But today I just noticed that...like...12 friggin' people thanked me! And one even said that I have a good first post! Weeee~! I feel loved . And to repay all of them, I'm planning on replying to every single one of 'em! Thanks guys!


But back on the subject of deviations. About two days ago, I was trying to post a piece of art, and I was nearly done (at the part where you actually submit the art), but then dA said that "the piece of art couldn't go over 10 megapixles". I tried re-sizing et and changing et to a JPEG, but dA kept saying the same thing.

I'm not a genius when et comes to this kind'of shtuff, so does anyone know what's going on? MB and M and all that is what I understand, but not "megapixels". Help would be much appreciated.


I'm getting a tablet! .:squeels:. I can't believe et! And et even comes with a bunch of software and a pressure sensitive pen & eraser! All shall tremble beneath my power !!

I'm so excited! Now I'll be able to update my style of drawing to "CRAP"! .:laughs:. XD. While my brother is getting a 'Hello Kitty' oven-mit (or whatever the hell et was), I'm getting a TABLET!!

However, in all of my excitement, I'm also a bit worried. Since I've obviously never used PSP or PhotoShop, or a tablet by that matter, I'm afraid that I'll revert back to square one; "n00b". I'm afraid that I'll be fav-ing as many tutorials as I can find, and yet I'll still be annoying artist with n00b questions like, "How do I make a new layer?", or "What does 'magic wand' do?". (Basically -----> )

Trust me, even at the thought of a n00b, my skin begins to crawl. I was a n00b once (as was everyone else), and I didn't like et one bit. But I think that because I'm getting something totally new that I have no idea how et works or how to use et, I'll turn into one, again.

Please; how can I save myself from such a tragety? I'll let you think et over XD

Did everyone enjoy Chrismahanakwanzica? Did everyone get what they wanted? Good ^ ^

I certainly did. Though I didn't get a tablet, I still got stuff that I wanted:

+'Wicked' CD
+'Miss Saigon' CD
+'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' 2-Disc DVD ()
-2 see-through, Inuyasha Posters (my niisan got a huge FMA poster and t-shirt! my relatives are playing favorites...)
?? Gigantic, plastic, star sunglasses ()
?? Napoleon Dynamite quote keychain
?? Pooh Doll (stupid toosan -_-...)
?? BRATS Karate Doll ("Et's Japanese, Bri-chan!" is their excuse)
+Japanese PJs ()
+8-Ball and Slinky (inside joke )
+'Fact or CRAP' game
+'Clue Mysteries' board-game
+'Star Wars Monopoly' board-game
+'Star Wars TrivialPursuit DVD' board-game (don't get! O_O very difficult!!)

And I think that's et. But my B-day is coming up on January 28, so I still have my hopes up for a tablet~!

Oh, and I know this is kinda late. But I was too busy playing w/ all my new stuff to post anything XD.

But anyway, as a final thought, I just recently published a quiz on Quizilla called "How well do you know The Outsiders? (Part 1 - Quotes)", so please go to et ef you know the Outsiders. 'kay?

I sware, I feel like I'm going to explode. All kinds of stress just keeps piling up and up and et doesn't seem to stop. My friends, student council, memorizing 6 stanzas of "The Raven" for Wed., my math grade, my history grade, completing my slang words, my family, my heath, exams, state tests, high school,.....I can't take et.

Too much just keeps coming. I don't know how my family can keep telling me that I "can do it" and that I'll "succeed". Pfft, yeah right. The world will blow up before I'm successful in anything important.

I'm listening to "The Raven" because I'm trying to attempt to memorize 6 stanzas by Wed because that's when I need to recite et. I only have 2 stanzas memorized, so you can pretty much tell that I'm really wacked out about et.

And that reminds me. I'm even stressing over my writing and drawing abilities. Why can't I draw bodies when I can draw a head and shoulders perfectly? Am I not improving? Why am I not changing?

And my writing skills are even more pathetic lately. I feel like my abilities are withering away and that I won't be able to be the manga artist or best-selling writer like I dream myself to be. I mean, just because you want something to happen, doesn't mean it's going to. My parents always say that if you think possitive, good things will happen and everything will be okay. But I don't believe them. Good thing won't happen, even if you do think positively.

I'd better stop. You probably think I'm some whiney bitch that doesn't think about others and their problems. And maybe I am like that. But you can keep your retarted and sarcastic comments to yourself then. I wouldn't ask for your opinion anyway.

though I was rather disappointed at the fact that they:

1) didn't give Draco a lot of scenes [.:tear:. ;_;]
2) didn't include the whole 'SPEW' thing (that would have been really funny)
3) excluded Bill and Charlie (Bill and Charlie are so preeeeeeetty!)
4) sped through any explanations of anything in the beginning
and 5) gave the Death Eaters pointy hats (shame Rowling; shame....)

However, because I liked et, I shall give et a

But! I was happy that they left the bouncing ferret scene my family really got a kick out of that! And Fred and George were absolutely BRILLIANT!!! I especially enjoyed the part when they were talking when Prof. Mc-what's-her-name (can't spel) was teaching.

But anyway, enough of that. My free submission has run out ;_; oh woe is me.....

That doesn't mean, however, that I will spend my money on et. Sure, et was really cool and I could get extra features, but I need to save my money on important things. Like mangas, or pencils, or socks.......or food >.>

I've been reading 'The Outsiders' recently (reading et a second time, and bought et today ) and I've been making a little "you" fanfic on et. Now before you throw your computer mouse at me, I'll say this. ET'S NOT GOING TO BE A MARY-SUE (or at least I hope not o_o)!! I will go to many lengths to make et the very best, and not be a Mary-Sue (whatever the hell that is [no definitions please!])

So, I present to you, what I have so far. Enjoy.

p.s. the parts in () are the parts I'm still kinda working on.

What's Between a Greaser and a Soc?

"Oh man, Black, I've only been 'ere for a month and I already get bombarded with reports and projects! I don't think I can take much more!" you cried. It was about 2:40, and you and your friend Black had made it to 6th period lunch. And it was true; you had recently moved and yes, you were being trampbled with pounds of homework. 'Course, it didn't help much that you moved in the middle of the school year (which part of the reason for your stress), and it was a little hard to adjust to the new curriculum.

You were currently looking under the table, in hopes of finding a pencil and completing your Algebra homework, while Black was sitting quite pleasantly with her feet on the table and leaning back in her chair.
"Relax Vanilla," she said calmly, "you're practically the smartest person on the entire campus, and this is normal school life. What you gotta be worried about?" You glared at her from underneath the table.

"What I need to be worried about is the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing!" you exclaimed. "I know that this happens to me a lot, but never in the middle of the year! Oh, I just don't know what to do..."

You gave up in your quest to find a pencil and pulled out a black pen from your jean pocket. So what if she'd mark off points? At least you'd do it.

(You and your father had moved from Pennsylvania from his job. He was renown engineer, so he worked wherever his company wanted him. You moved around a lot because of this but you had gotten used to it. You learned to not become attatched to any people, knowing that you'd move again sooner-or-later. But your father had begged you to get at least one friend while the both of you were here. So there you were; sitting with Black during lunch.)

"You're going ape on me, Vanilla," Black remarked. "You need to get a stress-ball or somethin'..." You gave her another glare.

"I do not need a stress-ball," you grumbled haughtly, furiously working out a Pythagoreum Theorum problem. Black shrugged and flipped her hair.

"Whatever you say, kid," she replied. You simply rolled your eyes and continued on with your work.

Black was a pretty girl. No, she was beautiful, charming, and pulchritudinous. Well,... ]]> ~RyceBowl http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/7075225/ http://RyceBowl.deviantart.com/journal/7075225/ Thu, 17 Nov 2005 19:52:48 PST

But not right now. I'd also like to say that for 7 days, I get this cool enhancement (sp?) for my DA account. Even though I really like et, I'm most certainly not going to subcribe. That costs money $$. I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid (XD)

Like I said in my title, OMG! I'M UPDATING!!! .:laughs:.

My reason why I haven't really updated (and to state blantly) I was too lazy. But also, about - oh say - 2 weeks ago, I lost all of my favorites (or saved webpages). Yep. Every single one. Now, note people, that I had over a 100+ favorites on my computer. Yeah; you can pretty much conclude that I was really upset.

I managed to get the ones I go to more often back, but I can't even remember half of the other stuff that I didn't get. Guess I'll have to get them back one at a time ;_;

Anyway, I've recently had this story stuck in my head, and et's really been bugging me lately >.< I've drawn one of my characters in et (and she looks uber fabulous ^ ^), and I'm planning on getting a tiny speck of et typed out tomorrow.
I'll try and put et on here, but et'll be in ziz journal. Mostly because et won't make much sense but oh well.

My otoosan got me a new computer !! Aaaaiiiiiiii~!!! I'm so happy!
Even though et's not a laptop, which I am using right now, et's brand new and has a flat screen and everything. And et has a HUGE memory drive, so I'm gonna have some fun with that XD. But the only thing that I'm not looking forward to is loading all the stuff.

Et is a new compie, but we'll still need to load all kinds of crap on >.<
Joy.

Well, I've got assigned seating in the lunchroom tomorrow. Oh, I am so happy . There's one thing I can guarentee you. I will either be sitting with no one I know, a bunch of idiots, or someone I positively, absolutely hate. I guarentee you. But I'll go further into detail tomorrow.

Current Obsession(s): Pirates, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Halloween, One Piece, Shaman King, writing my stories (woah, that's a lot O.O)

I had so much fun yesterday!!

To start et off, I went and got my haircut at a tiny hair salon in the middle of nowhere (quite litterally). Now my hair is a lot shorter than et already was, but I love et! And, with a little difficulty, I also managed to go to the mall and spend 5 hours with my friend, Aiya-chan. We even got to see "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (she had already seen et before, but that was the first time I saw et)!! And I also bought a small mood ring (I'm a sucker for those things XD) at a cool store called "Museum Earth". But Aiya-chan and I thought that was a stupid name, so we named et "The Fawsome Store" (the "f*cking awesome" store).

But now about today. Oh my gosh, today is a MAJOR lazy day -_-. I'm extremely tired and I really don't feel like doing my homework, and et's already 6:03 PM! So, nothing more on that.

More on the Halloween thing. I wasn't able to make a Halloween character like last time, but I'm sure I'll probably doodle a character I like in school or something. Though, I have been stressing over a lot of things lately, but I'm too tired (and I guess too lazy) to write et down. Let's just say I've been stressing over everything.

Well, toodles~!

.:sigh:. Talk about a bipolar day. I had a really good day at school, and yet when I came home, I was flooded with the fact that my kaasan had a shitty day, and now I'm extremely uncomfortable. I don't know ef she's PMSing or something, but I hate et when she gets like this. I can't help but feel sorry for her because of all the things that happen to her. For example, some asshole today hit the back of my kaasan's car, and made a little near where the back tire is and she wasn't able to get any work done today and my otoosan is coming back from California tomorrow and the house is a mess (or so she thinks). She always goes into her 'stressful' stage, but I've never known et to last this long. Come to think of et, my kaasan did say that she hadn't had a nap for the entire week, and that's how long she's been stressed lately. But whether et be about my kaasan not getting enough sleep or not (which I highly think that's the case), I just hope she gets happy quick, because when my kaasan get's upset, the entire household stands on its toes. Et's like trying to pull a thorn out of a dinosaur's foot when my kaasan is like this; one wrong move and you get your head bitten off.

But on a different fact (somewhat), I really miss my otoosan. He's been gone for 3 1/2 weeks, and he's only coming to visit this weekend because et's my kaasan's and otoosan's Anniversary. But when Monday comes, he's setting off again for another 3 weeks. That's about two months total for my dad to be gone!! Et's been so weird not having him around. I'm so used to us all sitting around the dinner table, laughing until our sides hurt and then going upstairs to watch a movie or 'Lost' or something. But now that he's not here as often, dinner is mostly quiet and there's more bickering then there is laughing. Et feels like our comic relief is gone, and all we're left with is a logical git (my niisan), a PMSing work-a-holic (my kaasan), and a procrastinating bum (myself). That's not a good combination. I just wish my otoosan could stay home and not have to leave so much. Et's much better when he's home because there isn't so much arguing and everything seems to work out better (that, and we get more meals with more variety at dinner). On the other hand, I'm not exactly looking forward to the big lecture my otoosan is going to give me and my niisan on Sunday. I know. He told me.

A few minutes ago, I just realized that two of my library books are overdue. Not only are they overdue, but they've been overdue for 9 days. That's $4.50!!! My kaasan is going to be furious with me (and most likely chew my head off), and she'll probably end up paying. Oh, the fact of being money-less and guilty consumes me. So yeah, et's just going to be oodles of fun telling my kaasan that I have two books overdue, along with my soon-to-be 4 other overdue books by tomorrow (if I don't renew them today). Because ef I don't, I'll be needing to pay $5.50 then. Let's hope not >.>...

In unrelated news, I have to not only work on my Math, Reading, and Art homework, but I also have to write my speech for (hopefully) becoming 8th Grade President. I'm going to have such a good weekend .:drips w/ sarcasm:.

I have just recently discovered the wonderful world of PIRATES!!! I never realized they were so fascinating!! I absolutely adore pirates now. They're just so lovable <3 <3 .:hugs pirates:. Also, because of my new obsession with these buccaneers, I have decided to research them in hopes of making a successful story about pirates. But because I'm lazy, I won't type the summary of the story. But! I will type out the outline I made of things I need to know:

Things I Need to Know About Pirates and Piracy:

I. Domestic Life
A. Ships
B.Dress
C. Food
D. Tools/Weapons
E. Life on Board

II. Customs
A. Language
B. Preferred Religion

G. Ways of Entertainment

III. History
A. Famous Pirates
B. Famous Female Pirates

IV. Way of the Pirate
A. Attack
B. Pirates Defeated
C. Pirates on Trial
D. Pirates' Code

So, yep. That's et. Hopefully it'll give me all the info I need to write my pirate story.

Well that's all I had to say (woah, this was a really long entry o.o...)

Listening to: Probably Wouldn't Be this Way // LeAnn Rimes

Arg, I'm trying to complete all of my characters bios, but I'm just so inspired to write!! But I can't, because I need to finish So frustrating!!

And et's even worse because I feel like I have a bizzilion characters, and the bios are all extremely long.... *cries*

On another note, I went to my friends house yesterday for his B-Day, in which I drew him a card. He said et was awesome, but I personally thought et looked like crap >.> At the party, a few of my other friends were there as well, and we all swam in his pool and played "Pool Volleyball" (which is very hard, I might add) and then everyone went inside to eat and watch "White Noise".

I've already seen that movie, and now I'm scared of everything static, so I just went back outside and talked with my friend's kaasan and otoosan.

Then everyone came out again, went back into the pool (I didn't) and then my dad came by and picked me up.

So...

Yeah.

.:Ahem:. Anyway, at the party, the B-Day boy (my friend) invited one of his other friends that I didn't know. And, hello!!
He was GORGEOUS!! He had beautiful, blonde hair that was longish, a fantastic tan, very polite and quiet; just wonderful. And for some reason, he reminded me of Draco Malfoy (with a tan) o.O Very Weird.

Well, Ta-ta!!

Au revoir! Je vous verrai encore à mon entrée prochaine!
