                <description><![CDATA[ So I finally got up the nerve to come back to deviantart after my insanely long hiatus. Now no one get too excited yet, I still have no regular internet connection and I'm just commenting on a few things before disappearing again.<br /><br />I was surprised that my inbox wasn't as cluttered as I thought it would be after being gone for several months. But I STILL have almost 500 deviations to go through and at least 20 that I've seen are prose (I'm soo sorry Angelicdemonslayer and Glomey). So it'll be several more months before I come close to looking at everything and maybe adding some stuff to my page.<br /><br />In real life, I'm running crazy trying to find a job in this dead beat area. I don't have my hopes up too high though cause not even fast food is hiring... Blah.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, my brother sent me the ROFLMAO! It was funny and bizarre and I liked it.<br /><br />I'll be adding more to Return to Life soon, just need to add it to my compy and all that. I had a computer meltdown and had to get it returned to the factory to get a new motherboard put in.... Anyway, more on that later.<br /><br />I'll write a more extensive journal later, now I'm gonna play MTG. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Not really, just seeing if anyone is actually reading this shit. Anyway, I've been gone a few days doing nothing cause the DSL server in my area went down and a whole 178 customers lost their net over it. My place was probably the last one to get the net back. Just got it back today and didn't actually get on my computer until mid afternoon. I've updated all of the old prints on my Prints page and will probably add more to it soon. I'm planning on adding as much as possible to it in hopes that someone will like my crappy art and buy stuff. It's sad, I've had it for more than 2 years and not a thing has been bought from me. I guess I should not rely on my unimpressive list of watchers.... After all, most of them don't even have money or places of their own. Perhaps I should capitalize on fanart and slap some DBZ, FMA, and YYH art up to sell. Oh well, reading <a href="http://">Something Positive</a> makes me a cynical angsty young adult. So forgive the hateful words to my friends out there.<br />
<br />
Anyway, as stated above, I'm going to try and add a shitload more prints to my site and see if flooding it will make me money. I might go lurking again to get attention cause I'm an attention whore like that and haven't gotten a lot from more than ~<a class="u" href="http://angelicdemonslayer.deviantart.com/">AngelicDemonSlayer</a> and ~<a class="u" href="http://koorimeyume.deviantart.com/">KoorimeYume</a> who are at least on long enough to see my lack in updateness. Who knows? I might find another wonderful psychochick like Yume (I LOVE YOU TO BITS YUME!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/love.gif" width="23" height="16" alt=":love:" title="Love" /> ). In any case, you might be hearing more from me now.<br />
<br />
Oh, I just found some linearts that I'll be coloring now <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> You'll just have to wait and see what they look like in a few days after I add the digital color <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, what the title says. I've now got a marketing site for pets up.... haven't gotten a damn thing from it yet, but I'm still hopeful. So if you know anyone who has a pet or wants a pet, I got a few sites on there where they can get puppies, fish, and pet supplies. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.xpress-connect.com">Click here to see the site.</a><br />
<br />
In other news, I finally got my story notebook back so I SHOULD be adding more onto Return to Life....... should be being the key words here <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
I've seen Transformers a few weeks back. They did a good job on the movie keeping pretty faithful to it.... still wasn't too happy with Bumblebee and a few of the others. <i>STARSCREAM WAS FREAKING GUNMETAL GRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!</i> Man, I didn't even think Screamer was gonna be in it.... Didn't recognize him at all until I was reading the subtitles on the bottom of the screen when the Decepticons were mobilizing to get the cube. Otherwise I enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
Getting back into FMA again. I had forgotten how different Ed looks in the first DVD as opposed to the tenth or eleventh DVD. Course, he's several years OLDER by then and gone through a lot more, too. Anyway, still loving it.... even if the beginning is slow as hell.<br />
<br />
That's all the update you'll get from me. Might update again later on this month. Hard to say.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Um yeah, what the title says. I finally got around to buying the rest of the FMA dvds and I'm only missing 12 and 13!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> I can't wait! I've already got the movie and I decided to try and finish up the series since I never got to finish watching it on Adult Swim *sigh*<br />
<br />
Anyway, what I was speaking of before, I've got a character for the series and so does my best friend ~<a class="u" href="http://ravenkit.deviantart.com/">ravenkit</a>. Mine is a doctor and her's is a state alchemist. I'll tell you more about them laters ^____^<br />
<br />
So another thing that's been happening is I got to hear the new Taylor Swift song,<i> Should've Said No</i>... Does anyone besides me think it sounds like a song that came out a few years back? It's always been on the tip of my tongue as to what it was called though.<br />
<br />
Anyway, as far as new stuff, I'll probably stick some FMA profiles on here for your enjoyment.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I've not had a constant computer in forever. I've actually been using my compy at my sis's house when I go to download things. My story was updated via the internet at the library. Joy. Well, in any case, I've been insanely busy with work and trying to get things done.<br />
<br />
Artwise, I've added some spoiler work for those of you who were wondering what the Yu yu crew's kids look like. I've still got several more to do before I finally finish the linearts. It's not as fun as it sounds since I'm also working on making tattoo quick sheets for some easy money. If you wanted to see them, check out my scraps. I also have a picture of Raven's mom there as well.<br />
<br />
Hmm, I think that's about all of the news I'll hand out to you guys. Until next time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
^^ Um, yeah. I was just minding my own business earlier and this wonderful little image popped into my head.... of that one part in YYH where Hiei is licking the blood from his arm <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/love.gif" width="23" height="16" alt=":love:" title="Love" /> Yeah, I'm weird like that. All that bestiality and he looks extra sexay when he does his dragon flame <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/embarrassed.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":blush:" title="Blush" /> *shakes it off* But anyway, he's been stuck in my head in that pose all day since he appeared.... I think I'm having YYH withdrawal since all of my DVDs of the guys are in Ohio right now <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /> I'll get over it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Um, anyway, on to other stuffs.... I'm heading out of Texas soon and going back home. So I don't know when I'll be back online to update things and all. I'm going to be living in Ohio for a year and some change while my hubby goes out to fight the good fight overseas. *SIGH* I wish he didn't hafta goooo......<br />
<br />
My story is on hiatus for a while until I can refresh my memory on what happened in the DT, so don't get your hopes up too high. Other stories and art are going on the back burner until then as well. You won't be seeing much from me, as it were, until my home away from home has a working computer and internet access. I might be able to steal my brudder's laptop to upload stuff maybe, but that all depends on if I get anything done. I have a lot of pictures that I did on paper that I couldn't put online cause I didn't have a scanner at the time. Now I'll have a scanner but no internet.... Isn't life funny that way? ^^<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, if anyone is still interested, I still have that RP forum set up and running [<a href="http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=90303&amp><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />=1"link</a>]<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Whaaa! I got onto the computer this morning and try to get to Deviantart using my link in my favorites folder, right? It doesn't show up so I'm all wondering what happened. I click on an alternate link found when they couldn't find mine and there's this little intro for Deviantart.... Naturally, being curious, I let the link play. It says Deviantart is now at V5. Okay. I get that. It's a cute little animation to show that DA updated to version 5. I go on to the main page........<br />
<br />
AND I'M ALMOST BLINDED BY COMPLETE CHANGE <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nirvana.gif" width="18" height="18" alt=":nirvana:" title="Smells Like Teen Spirit" /> What happened?! I can't find anything anymore!! I'll have to re-orient myself to the whole layout again!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crying.gif" width="20" height="17" alt=":crying:" title="Crying" /> My pretty preview pictures for my stories won't show and you can't read my stories unless you download them now!! .... Okay, that might not be as bad as it sounds. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /> At least if people read my stories, I'll get real hits intstead of just "today:" views. Then I'll know if my stories are much suckage cause people won't read them or they're good cause people wanna download them, right?<br />
<br />
*Sigh* I guess the new change isn't all that bad. I just wish they had given more notice to it being changed other than the possible hot topic notes I've never read that they send. Who reads those anyway? If it doesn't have to do with my future comfort on the site, I don't read it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /><br />
<br />
Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest. Short ranter, huh? I never kill with one long rant <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

On another note, as soon as I finish with my messages, I'll be adding more to Return to Life probably and maybe adding more oekaki pictures.<br />
<br />
I'm working on a laptop now cause Tony, my husband, decided to take his dinosaur compy offline. Bear with me while I organize my stuffs and I will try to comment on as many of the deviations as I can. I'm not promising anything though ^^<br />
<br />
Oh yeah! I'm working on a new ID that should be done shortly.<br />
<br />
Until next time Viewers, ciao! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /> ]]></description>

Didja all miss me? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I had fun while I was out in Ohio... had a few episodes straight from <i>Days of Of Our Lives</i> and got lost a few times on road trips, but I had fun. I'm wading through my messages now and I'll try to be getting some new deviations in and maybe an extra chapter or two for <i>Return to Life</i>.<br />
<br />
Oh, before I forget, I want to try and find a better name for Cat and Fox, if you have any ideas, send them my way. I promise I won't laugh in your face or flat out reject them. The temporary name is finally gotten too old for it and it needs a refresher.<br />
<br />
Maybe I'll get around to actually tell you all what happened while I was gone. Until then, ciao!<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a quick journal telling all my fans out there that I'll be gone from here for a couple of months. Not because I don't wanna be here, mind you; I'll just be gone visiting home for two months and probably won't be on very often if at all. So in June when I come back, don't be surprised if I start complaining about an over abundance of deviations and other messages in my message center ^^<br />
Until then, Ciao! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So as of right now, I've mostly given up on my old site and started from scratch... Unfortunately, there's only a homepage up right now. If you click on the link to my site in my gallery frontpage, you will see a mostly bare page right now. The art page brings you straight back here, the library will take you to my ancient fanfiction.net site, and the about me page will take you to my myspace page.<br />
<br />
So far, I'm teaching myself basic CSS and HTML again.. I like CSS better. I had forgotten how difficult it is to do this stuff ^^ Wish me luck on this one, guys. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As of March 3, 2006, I am no longer a free woman, lol. My fiance and I were married that day in the Courthouse by the Justice of the Peace in Killeen, Texas. Details of the ceremony are as follows:<br />
<br />
He wore dark blue slacks with dress shoes and a nice button up shirt.<br />
I wore a black Frederick's of Hollywood Keyhole style dress with black heels and a little makeup (the heels were pure torture to my feet).<br />
We had four witnesses, two couples that are both friends of my new husband's.<br />
We got the marriage liscense that day and were married at 12:30pm.<br />
The two girls of the couples were more nervouse about it all then I was but then proceeded to pass their jitters on to me.... Evil peoples... ^^<br />
We almost didn't get pictures because everyone forgot to bring cameras; they then improvised and used camera phones (yay for technology, lol).<br />
After the JP pronounced us man and wife, he proceeded to tell my new husband that the reason he stood on the right is because it is the last time he'll ever be right again (I love that judge).<br />
Once we left the Courthouse, everyone went their separate ways. I changed out of my nice clothes and Tony, my husband, changed into his work clothes to go play with the engine of his porsche again.<br />
<br />
Hmm... That just about covers the wedding. I'll be writing about another wedding (more a renewal of vows since we're already married) sometime in the hopefully near future, as soon as we've saved up enough for a real ceremony.<br />
<br />
Since that day, a lot of things have happened. Tony's porsche had died a long time ago and then the beater truck he had to replace that died. Both of them had transmission troubles. Now we have a new truck that Tony can't take onto base because he found out his liscense is suspended and he can't get the truck registered until he gets that back. That's the bad news; especially since we can't finish signing me up for all of the military benefits like Tricare and DEARS(?) until we can get a ride to base or borrow a car to there.<br />
<br />
The good news is that we have a working car and I was able to get a new social security card with my new name. This should be fairly interesting since I'm not quite used to signing it yet. Tony teases me about it every time I go to sign for something. Don't worry, my siggy on my pictures won't change. It's just my legal name is changed now.<br />
<br />
Oh, I was forced to see The Hills Have Eyes yesterday. I didn't wanna see it and I only really watched parts of it. I grudgingly have to admit it was not as gory or scary as I thought it was going to be but I still don't wanna watch it again.<br />
<br />
EEE! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /> Speaking of movies, I GOT HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> It's just as awesome as I hoped it would be and I have all of Miyazaki's movies in america now <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> Now all I have to do is get Whisper of the Heart and the Yamadas to finish up my Studio Ghibli collection. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /> I'm so happy!<br />
<br />
Okay, before I blow an artery with my excitement, I'm outta here. Ciao! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello, hello! ^^ Didja all miss me? I'm in Texas now finally on a PC computer again, yay! Lol, the first day I came out here it was warm. I'm starting to notice a trend though; in the morning it's warm with a cold as hell wind gusting everywhere that finally dies down around evening time. So... that's fun cause it gets hot enough at night that you can sleep naked but by morning it's too cold to get out of bed... Gee, sounds kind of like California in the mornings <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Anywho, I've been learning my way around the routines out here on post. I'm in the barracks with my beau. He's at work right now, but he drops in to see if I'm extremely bored yet and also to grab things from his room. The first day I got here he teased me because I didn't have any of my check in bags... I hate American Air <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fork.gif" width="37" height="18" alt=":fork:" title="Stabbed with a Fork!" /> But I got the last laugh cause all of my stuff that he wanted me to bring was in the bags that I didn't get when I flew in <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pointandlaugh.gif" width="25" height="15" alt=":pointandlaugh:" title="Point and laugh" /> But I got them back the next day.<br />
<br />
Well, I learned that even though I'm away from home... This place is backwater enough to be considered "home" to my country standards. We went to Outback the first night I came out (Superbowl Sunday, joy) and there was this family with a couple of little kids. No big deal, right? Well, the funny thing was, they were running around the restaurant barefoot ^^ Now the last time I got to see something that cute was when I was still in Ohio. The only difference between BFE here and BFE in Ohio is that BFE here has more expensive restaurants and is brown and green. BFE in Ohio is simple restaurants and green and brown. Emphasis on the reversed order of color there. I saw a couple of the military guys here in their desert gear, lol.<br />
<br />
As for the uploading schedule while I'm out here; well, let's just say, don't hold your breath. I'll be able to get online a lot, but probably not to upload all of my pretty pictures. Just my stories.<br />
<br />
Oh, hehe... You know how you can tell you're in Texas? When you go to Walmart and they have a hat rack full of just cowboy hats <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So I'm just counting down the days until I get to leave Cali. I still haven't finished packing and my room's a mess. So what else is new, eh? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I started playing on the forums again that I'm a member of:<br />
<br />
My GZR club <a href="http://s14.invisionfree.com/Game_Zone_Recreation/index.php">[link]</a><br />
<a href="http://godleydemon.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/godleydemon.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="godleydemon" /></a>'s forum <a href="http://s14.invisionfree.com/War_of_Species/index.php">[link]</a><br />
<br />
They've been my distraction all day today. I'm so bad <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I won't be finding out when I'm leaving until Jan 29 anyway. I might or might not post more stuff before I leave. We'll just have to see. I also need to really finish packing.<br />
<br />
Other than that, my mouth is sore. The wisdom tooth/adult molar that's coming in in the back is making the right side of my mouth hurt. It's been bleeding a bit, too. I think the tooth is finally starting to rear its ugly head. Not fun. I feel like I bit the back of my jaw with my teeth, it feels like ground meat when I run my tongue over it and there's the perpetual tang of blood in my mouth now. I wonder if I can get it to go away soon....?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been working on packing all of my accumulated items from living here in California. I still don't have a ticket to Texas quite yet, but that's alright. I don't mind. While I'm there, you'll probably only see writing from me. I'll be there for a few months... getting married <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> So I'll end up changing my name on everything in a few weeks <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> Fun, huh? Now all I have to do is figure out what's going with me to Texas and what's going to Ohio..... *wanders off muttering* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ From what I've read from other people's journals, they've had shitty days, too. Wanna know how my life's going? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Sure you do!<br />
<br />
Heh, I got kicked out of my current living space by my great uncle. I'm thinking good riddance to that. I love my grama and all, but there's only so much you can take of her brother. And, folks, I've reached that end! Before you ask, no, he doesn't live with grama. In fact, he lives like 60 miles or so away from her and only comes up every now and then. So why did he kick me out of the house? Because I wasn't being ambitious enough for him. Yes. I wasn't taking 30 credits and working part time like he wanted me to. Why? BECAUSE I HAVE A LIFE!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crazy.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy" /><br />
I'm a little bit off kelter right now cause I need to basically pack up all my gear, send it back home, figure out how much the plane ticket will cost me, see if Petsmart can transfer me to a new store... After I figure out whether I'm living with my fiance until he goes to Iraq... and I think that's it. Oh, and I have to figure out what I want to keep on my computer. My pictures from my digital camera are definitely coming back with me.<br />
So basically, if you don't hear from me in a while, that's why. I won't have a regular internet connection for a while and I need to reorganize my life again.<br />
<br />
Do you think I have it rough right now? I don't. In fact, I'm actually kind of glad it turned out this way. Now I will never have to see Uncle Leo's face ever again. I don't want to put up with this anymore. I'll find a way through college some other way.<br />
<br />
That is all. Thanks for listening and I'll see you all again soon. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thanks.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thanks:" title="Thanks for everything!" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ If anyone of you that follows me have noticed... I've been absent from my DA for a couple of weeks. No Internet connection will do that to you.... But anyways, got some good news for my readers out there :3 I got my notebook back from my best friend and Return to Life will shortly be updating again! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> I'm also planning on getting a scanner or a new digital camera in the next few months. Not sure when yet. <br />
<br />
School's going to be on the backburner this semester as I recover from Christmas Fever, lol. So I'll probably be updating fairly often once I get everything settled again. I might be adding some things to my Printshop soon, too. Go me! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br />
<br />
In other news, my boyfriend and I are officially set as far as getting married is concerned. He got the wedding band for me for Christmas... Even had me pick it out <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> Now all we need to do is set a date for the big event. I'm excited. I just wish I had been able to spend some more time with him this last visit <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> *sigh* Oh wells... Can't have everything, can we?<br />
<br />
Well, as far as art stuff I need to get done is concerned, I need to get a picture done for my part of the match for <a href="http://budokai.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/u/budokai.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="budokai" /></a> Bet you thought I had forgotten about that, huh? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I promise I didn't. I'm starting to get back into DBZ again, in fact. So be on the lookout for that pretty soon here. *strikes a pose* Quickie Piccie Comics! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br />
<br />
That's it for now. Pretty straighforward, huh? ^____^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The holiday season is kicking my ass and it's not even close to Christmas yet! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> The only art I seem to be cranking out is oekakis... which, even when elaborate, only take up about 7hrs of my valuable time. I still have lots of things to do though *whine* <br />
I have barely half of the sketches that I need for the pictures for my friends for Christmas. I think some might not get anything from me though. I'm just that busy. Have to budget so that I can finish the damn tarot project for illustration... Then I have to research for the storyboard for the same class... I also have an author report 3-5 pgs double spaced due for my Creative writing class this tuesday. *whimper* Someone shoot me... Or at least inject more time into my day.<br />
<i>Return to Life</i> is still on a hiatus until I get it back from my friend ~<a href="http://ravenkit.deviantart.com/">ravenkit</a> Which means, no updates until next year. THEN I'll update like there's no tomorrow ^^<br />
<br />
On a lighter note, one of my co-workers and I made up a fabulous name for our annoying, senile old fart of a manager.... Merfbur. Hehe, it's funnier if you know what's going on, trust me. I promise it was made up after a long night of exhaustion and relief to be going home.<br />
<br />
Okay, I'm leaving before I turn this into a nice long ramble that takes even more time from my life. Ciao from a tired kitty. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ And to think, all it took was someone saying that my green YYH wallpaper was violating several rules.... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sarcasm.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":sarcasm:" title="Hahahahaha. No." /><br />
If it's breaking the rules, I wonder, then WHY DOES EVERYONE ELSE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE IT IN THEIR GALLERIES, TOO?????<br />
.....<br />
Okay, I feel a little better now. Annoyed, but better. My question being, if I'm supposed to get permission from the original artist on using his work, then how exactly do I do that? I mean, I doubt Yoshihiro Togashi knows much english and I'm hopeless at Japanese... So THERE'S a lost cause.<br />
<br />
Jeez, I'll stop ranting before someone reports this journal and I get kicked off of Deviantart. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rolleyes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":roll:" title="Roll Eyes" /><br />
<br />
On a more positive note, I've gotten at least some of my art things finished. So I guess I should go work on my homework before I forget about it again....<br />
<br />
Later.<br />
-------------------<br />
Edit: Okay, for those of you wondering WHY exactly I got my wallpaper taken down, here's the actual note they sent me:<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm kinda at a standstill on what I'm working on right now.. School is keeping me busy and work isn't helping either. I'll get back into the groove of things soon. I joined a club a few weeks back that's an anime/gaming club at Chabot. It's pretty fun and there's a person there that's gotten me into a few new manga, Kazan being one of them <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Sooo awesome! I highly recommend it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
Artwise, I'm trying to work on my Christmas gifts and I'm also working on a profile of one of my DBZ characters for a new club I joined. <a href="http://budokai.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/u/budokai.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="budokai" /></a> Which is basically a DBZ fan character fight club. Really cool stuff there. If you like DBZ, you should check it out.<br />
<br />
Well, the stories are also still on hold... Might not even start working on the sequel again until the new year is done and over with. My binder is still in Ohio after all <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
Well, that's it for this. My schedule hasn't killed me yet <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> so I'm going to keep on truckin'. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/salute.gif" width="26" height="18" alt=":salute:" title="I salute you!" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Remember how in my last journal I was saying that I was working on a few pieces in Illustrator? Well, I'm still working on those pieces slowly but surely... Man, it takes forever and a lot of attention to finish outlining the way that I am now. Sure looks pretty though <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Maybe I'll put up some WIP of the one I'm outlining right now. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/plotting.gif" width="18" height="20" alt=":plotting:" title="Hmm. Evil plotting in progress." /> Hmm..Nah <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> I'm lazy enough to not do that.<br />
<br />
On another note, the YYH kid pictures are coming along nicely. Only one of them is actually inked, but I have almost finished the pencils of two other ones. One of them is driving me up the wall so she's probably going to be done last... or at least when I've figured out why I can't seem to redraw the same exact pose as I did before <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rolleyes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":roll:" title="Roll Eyes" /> Oh well, you win some you lose some. So that makes about three out of five that have been redrawn, then I have to draw six other kid pictures. So I'll be at this a while <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
I've also decided to do Christmas pictures instead of actual sculpey figures, what fun <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sarcasticclap.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":sarcasticclap:" title="Oh yeah. Yay. Good for you." /> *SIGH* I'll finish sometime in the next century, hopefully... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yup, so no more fancy smancy journals, no more picture previews, and definitely no more comment previews <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Looks like I do things the hard way for now until I can renew my subscription.... Oh well.<br />
<br />
On another note, I'm working on redoing the original portraits of my YYH kids. It's coming along nicely. Only problem is that it's in traditional media so you guys won't get to see it unless I can scrape up the money for a scanner or figure out how to use the one in the computer lab at school. Phoey...<br />
<br />
I'm also working on several digital pictures in Illustrator; one being of Limei and Shuichi with a Japanese fox mask and the other is a picture of Touya and Kane in a cuddle moment. Oh, I also have a DBZ picture of my Saiyan twins on the backburner for now. I MIGHT find something else to stick up here sooner or later, but for now I think I'll struggle through the ones I'm working on. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Eh heheh... I just realized that I won't be able to actually update on Return to Life for a while.... Mainly cause I forgot the notebook it was in in Ohio at ~<a href="http://ravenkit.deviantart.com/">ravenkit</a>'s house <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> My bad. So I hope you guys weren't TOO anxious to see what happens next, cause it's gonna be a while.<br />
<br />
On another note, I'm back from vacation! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> So I'll be putting up some nifty pictures now that I've drawn. Only problem with that is that they'll be completely digital for a while, so I'm gonna be a bit slower on uploading stuffs. U-U Sowwys. It's only until I can find a decent scanner for my computer though! Honest!<br />
<br />
OH OH! I'm back together with my guy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/love.gif" width="23" height="16" alt=":love:" title="Love" /> We kissed and made up, hehe <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> Not saying anymore about it!<br />
<br />
Movies I watched on vacation:<br />
Mr. and Mrs. Smith<br />
Dukes of Hazzard<br />
<br />
Dukes of Hazzard was an AWESOME movie by the way. I loved Uncle Jessi and Bo. Daisy wasn't too bad either. Luc was just funny cause he was such a horn dog <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
On DA, I've been completely swamped with pictures by all the peeps that I watch. So give me a few days/weeks to get through them all. I had like over 200 messages from when I was out <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> not much but enough.<br />
<br />
Okay, that's it from me. Ciao! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes, I currently have no access to a computer except at the library and so you're going to have to wait a whole MONTH before I can update my story or any pictures I've been working on. Lately I've been feeling a bit like a tug toy with how much everyone wants to see me or do things with me or hang out with me.... Since when did I get so many groupies?? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/confuse.gif" width="18" height="15" alt=":confused:" title="Confused" /><br />
<br />
Anyways, I'm going to be visiting my boyfriend probably sometime this weekend if all goes well.. I had a bit of a problem like two days or so before I came out to Ohio. I got my wallet, camera, and phone stolen while I was at work! Of all the places to lose it! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /> I found out that the one ATM card I had in there was used to remove about $200 worth from my account. Thankfully, I got it all straightened out. And don't even ask me whether or not I was able to fill out a report after I found out. I wasn't. It was at 7pm on the fourth of July that I found out my shit was stolen and it really pissed me off cause the person had to have gone into the break room in order to steal it. Now I'm paranoid cause I don't know whether or not it was an employee or a customer.. <br />
<br />
*sigh* Oh well, I won't worry about it. I'm on vacation and I've covered all of my tracks that I can in such a hectic time.<br />
<br />
Well, here's to hoping that things get better and I don't run into any moochers while I'm out here... *snort* yeah right. Later.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL I GO HOME FOR A MONTH!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> Man, the only thing I CAN'T do with smileys is backflips <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br />
<br />
<b><i>Edit: I will probably not be able to update my gallery or story until I return in August... That is, unless I get my all in one and computer back ^^ That is all. </i></b><br />
<br />
Hrm, lesse... I just finished watching YYH dvd 31 <b>finally</b> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> and I almost hate to say it, but it seems like Hiei and Mukuro have more than an understanding going on; but maybe that's just my jealous kitty side that likes him. I'm always a pushover like that <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rolleyes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":roll:" title="Roll Eyes" /> *sigh* Oh well, I can change things to whatever I wish them to be in my world. Besides, he's only a character.<br />
<br />
Speaking of characters, the reason why I usually don't break up attached guys in movies/anime/cartoons/etc. is because of my <b>one</b> golden rule.... Guys with attached girls/guys are out of bounds <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> Yup, if I didn't have that rule, then I'd be a bad person. I'll just worm my way into the guy's heart some other way <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /> The only time I've <i>ever</i> broken this rule was the first ever Devilman fic I did where I brought the guys to the states and made it a TRUE Mary Sue fic... Needless to say, I ended up scrapping that little adventure.<br />
<br />
Okay, back to a real rant now.<br />
I haven't told you guys yet, but so far I've seen three great movies. Batman Begins (which coulda been a little better, if only at the beginning), Mr. and Mrs. Smith (you guys have GOTTA see it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ), and the Longest Yard (which, incidentally, will probably show on MTV sooner or later since it was one of their productions). I think of the three though, my fav is DEFINITELY Mr. and Mrs. Smith! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /> Some of the crap that these two go through all because they're assassins for rival companies... It's great <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> And I won't say anymore cause then I'll ruin it for you all.<br />
<br />
The first Vampire Hunter D novel, by the way, is pretty much the original movie in book form. It's kinda funny, actually. Those of you who've seen the movie remember that Larmica (the Count's daughter) had black hair and Doris (the girl bitten by the Count) had blond hair, right? Well, originally, Larmica was the one with the blond hair and Doris had RAVEN BLACK hair <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> And the mutie that served the Count is actually a bandit in the book... You'll just hafta go get it and see for yourself. It's really good.<br />
<br />
Art wise, I haven't gotten around to ANY of the things I'm supposed to work on <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Sorry guys, I'll get around to it eventually. And my story is on the backburner until I can upload more of it to my computer. It is currently sitting as a rough draft on my computer desk collecting dust. *sigh* I just have too much to do... Good thing I'm off tomorrow. But then I'm planning on going to the Dick Blick store (don't laugh) and getting some scratchboard so that I can do some more pictures for my prints gallery. Oh! I also got vol.1 of the clothes encyclopedia by How To Draw Manga. Finally! I will be able to clothe my characters in something more than just the usual stuff! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br />
<br />
Well, I think that's all for now. Until next rant, Ciao! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Man, the past two days at work have been insane.... I worked for 8 hrs a piece each day and it's been BUSY.<br />
Yesterday (um, Wednesday) I got into work only to get swamped by a swarm of parents with kids wanting animals. I mean, I must have sold about 7 or 8 animals within 3 hours of getting there! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> It was really bad, my brain turned off after the first 5 people came in 5 minutes. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crazy.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy" /><br />
Then today, I ended up finding out my 4-10 schedule was changed to 9-4. I didn't find this out until 10:30 this morning though, so I ended up working from 11-7 instead. It was busy again today as soon as I got into work. Mainly because we had to put the new fish into the tanks and there was only one person in the pet department this morning... Thank the "manager swap" for that one. MY manager was SUPPOSED to open today but he had to swap with the stock manager because she was going to get training this morning. Which left the single opener by her lonesome... and that's why I was scheduled for 9. BUT NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT IT UNTIL TODAY AT 9:30!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/angered.gif" width="21" height="21" alt=":angered:" title="Angered" /> My manager told me he left a note for the two managers yesterday but they, of course, said nothing to me about a schedule change! AND I EVEN SAT IN THE BREAK ROOM WITH BOTH OF THEM FOR <b><i>FIFTEEN FREAKIN' MINUTES</i></b> BEFORE I CLOCKED IN!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/explosion.gif" width="28" height="18" alt=":explosion:" title="Explosion" /> ARRRGGG!!!<br />
*sigh* I feel better now. I had to get that out. Needless to say, I'm worn down to the bone. And I STILL have stuff that needs planned out and worked on... art wise, that is.<br />
<br />
My "To Do" list<br />

.... And I think that's it. Phew, it doesn't look like a lot when I look at it now. Maybe I can finish this stuff up soon then <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> Wish me luck! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /> Ciao!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay okay, I've been seeing a lot of fanart and stuff about this comic called DeathNote.... But I've never seen it around anywhere! What IS DeathNote about and who's the publisher? Is it even in the states yet, or did you buy it online? I read the doujinshi of it that ~<a href="http://mayshing.deviantart.com/">mayshing</a> put up a little while back, so that gives me a BASIC idea of what it's about, but really! SOMEONE CLUE ME IN PLEASE!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ To go or not to go, that is the question.... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> Just kidding. I'm thinking I'm going to go see Batman Begins today and then see Mr. and Mrs. Smith tomorrow or something... Not sure yet. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /> I wanna see them both!! Hee hee <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
*ahem* In art news, I'm working on a new character design for my sister. She wanted a part in my YYH Universe and I just got done with the basic lineart on ~<a href="http://neondragon.deviantart.com/">neondragon</a>'s Oekaki board. It's takin a while to color her though. She's a higher being(aka, neither human nor demon; but she's closer to being a demon) Her human name is Sasha and she's Trina's sister in the story (you won't meet her until the first part is over). The only thing is, she's a PHOENIX in spirit so she can reincarnate herself to whatever species she wants to be whenever she wants... within reason. Therefore, she could very well be older than Kurama <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/plotting.gif" width="18" height="20" alt=":plotting:" title="Hmm. Evil plotting in progress." /> Wouldn't that be interesting <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
Oh yes, and be on the lookout for four other pictures to go up sometime this week. One is of LiMei (from the sequel) and the other three are animals that I did in art; two on scratchboard and one pen and ink stipple. These three are going to go up as prints when I upload them, 'kay?<br />
<br />
Well that's it from me *looks back at the journal* Wow, this is the longest one I've done for a LONG time. *shakes it off* Eh, anyways. Ciao! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Mmm, I need to get some foodage after I'm done with this...<br />
Okay, so far the pictures that I've submitted to be Prints are<br />
<br />
Spud's Gift<br />
Welcome to the Big Sandbox<br />
Sand Dragon<br />
<br />
I've decided to wait on Sylph and The Starcatcher right now; mainly cause I need to redo Sylph really bad and I'm just being lazy with the Starcatcher ^^ I'm still tinkering with the prices and stuffs for the prints, you can get some of them as things other than prints too! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I have one up as a puzzle, all three as post cards now i think, and one can be your coffee mug too! Oh and one other as a mouse pad... Not like anyone uses them anymore.<br />
<br />
I'm also working on a new ID for my front page <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> Yeah, I know. It's about time I put a new one up <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
So that's what's been up with me on the Prints account <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/whew.gif" width="25" height="17" alt=":phew:" title="Phew!" /> This is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be... OH! The plus of buying the Prints account is that I got a three month or so subscription for free <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> Itn't that cool or what? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Oh yeah, and my prints account lasts forever <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
I'm not getting one just yet until I  can pay for it with Paypal since I'm  reluctant to charge anymore on my  credit card.<br />

My to do  list keeps getting bigger. Probably the  only thing I'm motivated to do is  actually check my email and tell  Petsmart that I can easily work for 30+  hours a week now.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Oh, I just heard that some dumbfuck on  DA.. or maybe just a visitor to my  account... is trying to claim that  Raven is HIS character. I heard this  from my best friend just now. He had  the idiotic idea to tell people in some  random public chat room. ~<a href="http://ravenkit.deviantart.com/">ravenkit</a> was  my spotter in this argument <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> She can be  nasty if she puts her mind to it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />  Needless to say, the idiot ran out of  there fairly quickly.<br />
<br />
And for those of you who think she was  in the wrong.... RAVEN is based off of <b>~<a href="http://ravenkit.deviantart.com/"> ravenkit</a></b>, so she's actually a real life  person. Just without the ears and tail <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I was thinking, what do you guys  think if I were to make a Prints  account? Would buy my stuff? It'll  probably start out with just like basic  pencil works and then maybe graduate  onto my original characters. I'm not  sure its such a good idea though... I  don't know how excited you guys would  be about buying my stuff so it'll  probably be a cheapy account.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I GOT YYH DVD 30 TODAY!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
It was soo awesome but now I have to  wait until the next one comes out <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crying.gif" width="20" height="17" alt=":crying:" title="Crying" /> *shakes it off* Anyways, while I was  listening to the dubbed voices for the  new characters, I noticed  that Yomi's  son sounded <i>veerrry</i> familiar.... Then  it hit me, it was the kid who does Al's  voice off of FMA! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/omg.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":omg:" title="OMG" /> He sounds a lot  gruffer in this one since Shura is a  more violent child than Al is <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> Still  cute though.<br />
<br />
Well, on another note, I also got the  Bastard!! OST today while I was out  shopping and I'm now starting to  collect Rouruni Kenshin <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> the manga....<br />
<br />
Lesse... how many does that make it  now?<br />
<br />
DNAngel<br />
Petshop of Horrors<br />
Vampire Game<br />
Immortal Rain<br />
Rouruni Kenshin<br />
Yu Yu Hakusho<br />
Ceres Celestial Legend<br />
Dragon Voice<br />
Baron the Cat Returns....<br />
<br />
And I think that's it for now. Whoa, I  need to seriously cut back on my manga  intake. It's killing my budget <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

I've also got the next astronomy exam  and my history test to study for before  Tuesday.... plus work on my art  stuffs... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":cry:" title="Crying" /> I'm being overwhelmed!!<br />
<br />
Got a meeting at work today, dunno what  it's about though. I'm assuming that  it's going to be more of an orientation  to introduce the new management and  associates. We're also having another  meeting next Sunday too. Still got me  working 30 odd hours a week also.<br />

'nuff with the DBZ  references. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> I AM happy though. I  finally finished the entry I was doing  for *<a href="http://utarefson670.deviantart.com/">utarefson670</a>'s contest. It took me  a mess up and three hours to do this  one. I submitted it to his contest...  and then I find out that it was  extended for two days more <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> Oi, what a  pain. But if you guys want to see the  lineart, I guess I can submit it to my  scraps when I get pictures. Oh, and the  shiney in the picture is because I used  my grandma's copy machine to copy the  original and it came out with shiney  ink <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> I like shinies, don't you? Kinda  makes it more interesting.... <br />
<br />
*sigh* Now to work on ~<a href="http://lillith05.deviantart.com/">lillith05</a>'s  picture. She's been bugging me about it  and now I gotta see if I can manage a  decent piccie for her.... Laters. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ohhh Sapphire is a baaadd kitty <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/devilish.gif" width="15" height="16" alt=":devilish:" title="Devilish" />  Remember that angel I was telling you  about last journal? Well, I've been  having extensive conversations with him  the past three days that I've been off  work (aka, he spouted off about the  religious sects going after him and I  made the appropriate responses in  return). I sent a couple more of my  friends after him and now he wants our  "clan" to merge with his clan, lol. He  still talks funny and I still don't  know what to think of him.... He has  done his homework on different  religions and their creatures though.  Found out a lot from listening to him,  lol.<br />
<br />
On a second note, I'm still working on  the picture for ~<a href="http://lillith05.deviantart.com/">lillith05</a> and the one  for the Future contest on the ~<a href="http://deviant-contests.deviantart.com/"> Deviant-Contests</a> site. I've added more  to my stories and am trying my darndest  to finish SOMETHING to get at least one  thing off my plate. Doesn't seem to be  happening soon though <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
Well, I think this little kitty is  going to work on the contest entry  she's aiming at. Ciao! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday while I was chatting with my  good buddy ~<a href="http://lillith05.deviantart.com/">lillith05</a>, she sent me a  note about this guy that IMed her on  Yahoo claiming to be archangel Michael.  I stopped what I was typing to her and  asked her "are you serious?" She then  proceeded to tell me about how he was  the child of Lillith and Gabriel and  how he IMed her cause he was hoping she  was his "long lost mum" as she put it.  Well I was getting a kick outta this  and asked her to send me his IM name so  that I could chat it up with this  "angel". She did and we debated  the  virtues of messing with him. I held her  off though until I could actually talk  to the guy.<br />
<br />
I sent him an IM and waited. Two or  three hours later, we were having a  very INTERESTING convo.... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> He talked  funny. I've got the convo saved on my  puter if anyone was curious. I sent it  to <a href="http://theglome.deviantart.com">Glomey</a> to tickle his funny bone and  we agreed that this Michael guy had  issues. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
A few of my favorite parts of the  convo:<br />
<br />
nekobrenna: the xion?<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: yes<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: they have been  trying to kill me for almost 36 years  now<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: lit<br />
nekobrenna: well that is a long time<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: i have been dead  over 60 times now in this existence<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: they fail every time<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: it is not the  creators will<br />
nekobrenna: i see<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: yes you do see dont  you<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: you have that gift<br />
<br />
nekobrenna: what do you believe i am?<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: understood<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: you are what is  known as demon<br />
nekobrenna: lol<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: alien to others<br />
nekobrenna: you believe so?<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: a necromancer to  some<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: it is within you<br />
nekobrenna: ah, you are close there<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: your energy sig  shows it<br />
nekobrenna: oh?<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: you are linked with  what is termed the dark or no one<br />
nekobrenna: and you can sense this  through the internet?<br />
the_mystic_sage_7: lol cant you<br />
<br />
And that's all I'll post for the time  being. Something for you amused folk to  read about. If you want the whole  convo, just note me and I'll think  about it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br />
<br />
On a side note, most angels have this  polite, superior way of speaking from  what I've seen. I've spoken to at least  two of them in my life.<br />
<br />
Okay, this "demon kitty" is gone. Ciao! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm happy. I have Spring Break starting  Sunday! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> NO SCHOOL FOR A WHOLE WEEK!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" />  Unfortunately... I have to work 32  hours this week <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Well, at least I can  look forward to the check I'll get next  week <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Project wise for school, I have to work  at least 9 hrs on my stipple shark,  finish my "Hot Chicken" book cover and  page, get reference pictures for my pet  poster project, work on my astronomy  report.... and I think that's it for  school.... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> Yeah. That'll take me all  about three days if I work on it  constantly.<br />
<br />
Oh! Personal projects:<br />
Munkustrap/Celeste piccie for ~<a href="http://lillith05.deviantart.com">lillith05</a> <br />
<a href="http://utarefson670.deviantart.com/journal/4646581/">The future is in your hands...</a> contest  picture<br />
finish coloring and fixing Hiei/Sadi  picture<br />
work on stories....<br />
<br />
Phew! I think that's all I'm doing this  week. So forgive me if I'm a bit behind  on commenting and looking at stuff.<br />
Um, I'm also working on fixing my  website; maybe even moving to sbc yahoo  for more room. I hope to use Dreamscape  to make my pages instead of "winging  it" like I did last time.<br />
<br />
Now I'm done. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /> Ciao! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've actually been writing a lot of  Journals lately; hope you guys don't  mind. I mainly wanted to say that I'm  excited cause my little brother invited  me to go to Six Flags with him next  month <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> I haven't been to a theme park  in about 2 years or so, so that's  something I'm really excited over.<br />
<br />
In school news, I get to do a book  cover for my GD class and we're doing a  pen and ink stipple drawing in BD.  Should be fun. The only thing I'm NOT  looking forward to this week is my  History exam <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bleh.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bleh:" title="Bleh" /> I HATE history with a  passion <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /> Thank goodness this is the  only history class that I have to take  academically (if I remember correctly,  that is <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> ) But the GD class is starting  to get better since I got the hang of  being a graphic designer instead of an  artist.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> Wish I had known about this  stuff ahead of time.<br />
<br />
Oh, I forgot to mention, I watched The  Cat Returns by Hayao Miyazaki and fell  in love with the Baron.... He's a cat  figurine that comes to life *<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" />s the  kitty* And Muta was a trip too <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br />
<br />
Well, that's it from me, I think I'll  put up my other negative/positive that  I did today now... *wanders off* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I've finally finished my Graphic  Design homework.... That took entirely  too long <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> By the way, it was a project  consisting of critiquing two CDs and  redoing one of them; complete with the  list of things wrong, how to fix them,  doing the rough on paper first, making  the final on the puter, and then  printing and pasting the mock up onto  cardstock to make the complete sides.  Oh, and my teacher gave us the option  of making a REAL mock up of it  (basically what it would look like if  you were to buy it from the store). <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sarcasm.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":sarcasm:" title="Hahahahaha. No." />  Yeah, like I'd make even MORE work for  me to do. I had to find a printer that  wasn't crap when I printed out my  homework. As such, it took almost all  day to learn that my grandma's printer  was WAY better than mine. And only  because I talked to my aunt about a  good printer today... I miss my  Lexmark.... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crying.gif" width="20" height="17" alt=":crying:" title="Crying" /><br />
<br />
On the other hand, my latest two  projects for my basic drawing class  were really fun. I had to do a  negative/positive drawing of either a  nature study or an illustration. The  illustration was what I chose, of  course <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I was just WAITING to get my  creative juices going in that class and  the one drawing did the trick! And we  get to do another one tomorrow. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> I's a  happy wittle artist <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> The nature study  is done too and now I'm not quite sure  what to do with myself <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> I'll put up the  projects I finished either tonight or  later on this week... that is, if you  guys wanna see what I had to do instead  of my personal projects <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/floating.gif" width="34" height="15" alt=":floating:" title="Floating" /><br />
<br />
Well, I'll definitely put up the  negative/positive and the nature, I  think. Just comment here if you're  curious about my projects. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just got done watching Nausicaa of  the Valley of the Wind and I realized  something.... I've seen it before!<br />
<br />
I know what you're thinking, there's no  possible way you could have seen this  before now. It only came out recently. <br />
<br />
But I'm positive I've seen this before  when I was little! You don't forget  something like giant insects when  you're little. There's also the last  scene where she's lifted up by the Ohmu  and then she dances on their glowing  feelers.... and also when she's  standing with the Ohmu baby in front of  the herd.<br />
<br />
I was having deja vu all over the place  in this darn movie. If I haven't seen  it before; then YOU guys tell me where  I've seen something like it, 'kay? That  way I don't hurt myself trying to  convince people I've seen it before <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /><br />
<br />
Ciao!<br />
<br />
Oh, and before I forget... add in that  I remember the eerie sound from the  insect tamer, just not as well as the  images. When I watch the subtitled,  I'll let ya know if I remember the  voices. Bye! *perky chibi smile* *^-^* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I haven't really done anything  art wise except start on a buncha new  projects... not to mention the homework  I have to do >.>.... But I have an  excuse! Monday I gots a sore throat  which is slowly turning into a full  blown cold <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /> Not fair! I still gotta  finish inking and coloring that picture  of the YYH Kids so that you guys can  see em! Plus I need to work on my  stories (T-T they're kinda dead in the  water right now though.... WHERE'S MY  MUSE?!?)<br />
<br />
Don't mind my being loopy, I only get  sick once a year for about a week, and  this is that week XP So enjoy it while  you can, cause I'll be back to my old  boring self in no time! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /><br />
<br />
*cough, hack* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
Rai: Yeah, she was acting like this in  her Wednesday Art classes. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <br />
<br />
Rai, go bug your sister or something.  Mommy's busy.<br />
<br />
Rai: Yes mom.<br />
<br />
*clears throat* Ehyeah... Well, I'm  almost done with inking the portraits  so you guys have the lineart to look  forward to. *holds up "cheer" que sign*  Ehehe <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Nevermind.<br />
<br />
Oh! Oh! I forgot to say that I bought  the Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind  DVD today! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /> My third Hayao Miyazaki  film I now own! (gots Spirited Away and  Princess Mononoke) and like the 5th one  I'll get to see <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I think.... Lesse,  Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away,  Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery  Service.... yeah, 5th! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> <br />
<br />
Okay, I think I've scared you enough.  I'll down some cough drops or something  and work on that picture.... *wanders  off* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, I was going through my links and  I began to reminisce on my old DBZ  characters.... Never mind that I  haven't visited my DBZ Altiverse in a  year or so.<br />
<br />
So my question is this:<br />
<br />
Do you guys wanna see some of the  stories I have finished for DBZ? I have  several and it'll give you something  else to look at besides my slowly  updating art and such.<br />
<br />
Just comment here if you're up to it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For those of you that actually watch me  and haven't gotten any comments from  me.... I'M NOT DEAD!! PROMISE! I've  been busy working on a picture of the  YYH gang's kids that appear in the  sequel to Cat and Fox. I think you'll  all be able to figure out who at least  one of their parents are... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
It's going to be on this awesome new  marker paper that I'm trying out. Don't  worry, I'll scan in the lineart before  I murder the picture with color <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
On another note, I'm planning on  getting some Copic fleshtones since I'm  in sore need of fleshy colored  markers... <br />
<br />
Oh and I went to see Constantine  yesterday! *clears throat* I DEMAND  THAT YOU GO SEE IT!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> It was so freakin  awesome. Better than the matrix even <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" />  The only disappointment was that the  demons all looked the same (like  starved burn victims with no eyes.... >.>  ). Although the soldier demons were  pretty wicked looking with their heads  cut off from where their noses ended  and up. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/devilish.gif" width="15" height="16" alt=":devilish:" title="Devilish" /> Of course, all the brainage  that you coulda seen from it was burned  up and melty looking.... Have I made  you guys sick yet?<br />
<br />
Well anyway, that's all from me. I'll  try to update more on here and not just  of the comment kind. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ *ahem* If you'll turn your eyes to my  stats, you'll see that I now have a  butt load of scraps and not as many  pictures in my gallery....<br />
<br />
Well, I went through and stuck almost  all of my linearts and my character  sheets in the scraps. That way, you  don't have to go wandering the main  gallery for them <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> Should make it easier  to find things, too.<br />
<br />
Now I just have to finish that thank  you picture and <a href="http://lillith05.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/i/lillith05.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="lillith05" /></a>'s request.... I AM  WORKING ON IT EWIKA!!! *big shiney  anime eyes* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was the first day of school for  me; Astronomy at 9 and US History at 1.  Yay <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sarcasticclap.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":sarcasticclap:" title="Oh yeah. Yay. Good for you." /><br />
<br />
... Tomorrow I start it all over again  with my art classes. Fun stuff. I'm not  really impressed with going back to  school, it feels like I never left ^^.<br />
<br />
My astronomy teacher is a trip though <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  He's not exactly a morning person; in  the way that it takes a while for his  brain to function <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> He nearly said  "brainwash" instead of "brainstorm"...  which he was fumbling for in the first  place <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br />
<br />
My history teacher is a bubbly, quiet,  little individual who is also a  Catholic Nun. She's really nice but not  too good as an autority figure. She's  too quiet for it. But history aught to  be at least a <b>little</b> more interesting  since we're going to be doing a lot of  debate type stuff <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /><br />
<br />
My challenge has been set! I now need  to get my books and a tape recorder for  the lectures... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> Welcome back to school. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ But for some reason, I decided to make  some Tear Gems ala Yu Yu Hakusho...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> I  even bought a pair of jewelry pliars so  I can make settings for them (out of  paper clips, I'm so smart ^-^). It  started out as making just two but then  it got expanded to five... with two  being slightly bigger than regular Tear  Gems.<br />
<br />
The three small ones will be colored  black, aqua green, and silver. Three  guesses about the black one if you're a  YYH fan, and the first two don't count <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  The two bigger ones will be turned into  friendship gems and will be colored  brown/bronze (my eye color) and  gold-green (my best friend's eye  color)... I'll probably end up making  gems of all of my friends' eye  colors... That'll take a while <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
Anywho, I'll put up pictures later if  they're worth looking at. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've finally figured out what that  "fuzzy white thing" on Sesshoumaru's  shoulder is. It isn't his tail like I  first thought... Oh but it IS a remnant  of his dog form. It's the long SCRUFF!!<br />
 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crazy.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy" /> It was driving me nuts on and off  ever since I spoke to the person who  did this picture <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/11507082/.">[link]</a> They were  insisting that it wasn't his tail...  but they didn't know what it was. I  didn't want to argue so I gave in. But  I've been watching the later episodes  of Inuyasha that I downloaded and I  figured it out! His dad has two of the  "fluffy white things", but his look  like two tails. So I think it's just  the extra long fur that looks like  clouds when they turn "dog" completely. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> <br />
Anyways, had to tell someone about that <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/aww.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":aww:" title="Aww" /> ]]></description>
