Here's my task for you, my fellow otakus of the world:
Consider what forms fan art takes (i.e. drawings, sculptures, doujins, cosplay, fan fictions, ect ect.)
Should someone be able to make a profit from selling art in which the subject isn't their own?
Is fan art a learning tool for improving one's own style or just plain copying?
Take into consideration all this and anything else you can think of and give me your well informed opinion.
I need it! Really, I do. (for school)

Answer it and pass on this annoying conundrum to your fellow otaku and force them to answer. You would be surprised how contradicting truths to this can be! You will be contradicting yourself!

Note me or post your response here or even in a Deviation of your own! I crave your response and also kind of need it to do my study.
(and in a timely manner please!)
If I like what you say or draw, I will some how work it into my final project and you will be loved by many students here. (Yes I will credit you and no, you don't get paid but by kindness)

Thank you for your help!!

Classes are great and I somehow enjoy math again. Dance is f'ing amazing and I love ballet like I used to when I was little. Anime club rules and I'll get a paid-for pass to Anime Central Con 2010 (not bad either, but I won't jinx it). Met a guy or two. Both have glasses (of course).

All this and I miss home terribly. So friends of mine, if you're ever in my town text me or call me. I'll cook dinner ^.^

I have at least 5 pieces to upload tomorrow for you all to see! UPDATES!!!!!! WOOOO!

ok, its saturday night and I'm watching NCIS on tv. I have no life but that's not a change. I have the apartment to myself for the weekend, so this set up is totally fine.

We have weeks of welcome until next monday so I might come up with some pieces during that time because of my non-socialness.
See you in my new dorm!


AHHH I won't get my manga collection in the mail til thursday!!!!!! Death!!!!

I have been catching up on my anime intake to recover from a school-year deficiency. Happily, Funimation started putting their awesome shit On-Demand on Comacast so I have been like a chocoholic at the Sweet Factory. So what have I been watching as of late in the anime realm???

I rewatched (as I do every summer) Fruits Basket.
I'm rewatching Ouran High School Host Club as they become available on demand.
Same with Detective Conan.
xxxHolic season 1 sub
Azumanga Daioh
Princess Tutu

Yu-gi-oh GX
Yu-gi-oh: Shadow Games (season 0)
Gurren Lagann
Emma
Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl
Le Portrait d Petite Cossette
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Mononoke (Not Princess Mononoke)
and other countless random ones I see online

Awesome shit that has happened so far this summer:
Friendly and I went out for pizza and made fun of clothing at Forever 21.
My best friendly went downtown and spent 8 hours at the Denver Gay Pride Fest.
I introduced this best friend to Ouran.
I'm seeing my fave little cousins from Seattle so's we can take them to movies and either Dave and Buster's or Casa Bonita (A retro denver theme restaurant)
Cleaned the kitchen from top to bottom (yes that was fun)


this was to kill time so I'm sorry you read this whole thing for nothing. I have a few drawings on the way that aren't shit, YAY! I might make and sell some plushies, key chains and variousness to make an extra buck for college. A girl's gotta eat guys

In other news, i'm off to Chicago to attend Columbia College late this summer so my denver peeps need to find me to hang out before i leave.

I have lots of drawings to submit, i just haven't had time with being a senior and all.....09!!! *cough cough* in the way of plushies, i will be making the following:

in other news, an other college accepted me. Columbia College in Chicago. Happy day. The box came with stickers oh yesssssssssssssssssss. When a college gives you stickers, well, screw Harvard. XD

We had Graham Technique in modern all fucking week. I love Graham, but it killed my knee and hip simultaneously. We're doing "Panorama" which a fucking tiring piece. Yay for tiny solo!

I signed my ass up for the Animeland Wasabi Con in denver for spring break. 3 days are a hell of a lot cheaper than Nandesukan last september. I'm cosplaying as Haruhi from Ouran again, maybe Sloth from FMA and (my utter dream which will probably not come true) Abel Nightroad from Trinity Blood (the wig is too expensive), but i second plan would be steam punk. Time to make some costumes! In denver? Come to Animeland wasabi con!!!!! it'll be fun!!!

To make some moniez, i might open commissions (plushies are a maybe). A girl needs money. Not only to keep myself fed during college, but my dream buy would be Fabrica Theologiae the Trinity Blood Artbook with works from Thores Shibamoto. The book is about $200..... I WANT IT SOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But money for foodz and shelter is slightly more important.. kinda....not really. FABRICA THEOLOGIAE, YOU WILL BE MINE!!!!!!!!!

sorry for the stupid update. I'll keep you posted about commishes. I have LOTS of stuff to upload too.

See you before my brain implodes

As for my other 3 schools..... erm....... who knows...

SENIOR PROJECTS :STAR:

Gawd what a run for my money... literally...
Last Monday: First tech rehearsal with the lighting designer... That night, spent 5 hours on the program because some lazy asses wouldn't help. but she did decide to become my boss and tell me everything that sucked... five total changes later.. finished

Last Tuesday: Morning- Gave the program to Ms. K to checkola... "change this this this this this this this this and this... oh and that needs to be changed too..." fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!!
Second tech rehearsal. taught my missing dancer the ending because she always ditches at the last minute. teched my pieces all is well.
Evening- Spent five more hours making changes.... finished.. again....

Last Wednesday: Morning- Ran to Office depot and ordered 500 prints..... didn't even notice the dire mistake in the spelling..
Final dress- Grande. forgot the ending of my solo so the lighting director didn't know when to shut the lights down... kill me... one dancer.. ALWAYS THE SAME DANCER!, decides to not learn my dance and looks like crap... again!

Last Thursday: Morning- call an early rehearsal on our late start day. This one dancer will not STOP LOOKING IN THE MIRROR TO COPY!! gawd!
Afternoon- "day off" in dance for rest. got the 500 programs.. opened the box and flipped through the first one........... "MICHEAL"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! michEAl!!! Gawd freaking dammit!!!!! I spelled Mr. O'banion's name WRONG. Gues what I did ALL afternoon?
Took a sharpie, popped in a movie and changed 500 programs by hand..................................................... How in the hell did I finish that and Mr. O not notice?
Evening- Opening night.... THE AUDIENCE SUCKED! No response.. none... silencio... they HATED my solo and when my peice came on... oh that dancer.. that single dancer! i might have killed her at that point! My entire family in the audience to see me fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cried all night. I faked the rest of the show...

Last Friday: Morning- slept in the dance room after failing another bio test. I'm good at hiding when it comes to Valentine's day.
Afternoon- Walked a mile to King Soopers to obtain dinner... alone........ I almost got ran over by some moron while carrying a bowl of grape fruit...
Gwen came in later than she said so i was all fucking alone because i was not invited to another senior's house for dinner... But she came finally and drowned our sorrow in "Singing in the Rain"
Evening- The show wasn't much better. Bart, in attempts to make me feel better and rise my seriously plummeting self esteem, he wooted from back stage after my solo.... still silence from the audience... I haven't killed that dancer yet

Last Saturday: "Fuck the world" day. I was once again forgotten by my parents......
Afternoon- Showed up early to curtain call and complained to fellow people...
Evening- Most interesting show really... I finally let go of my past insecurities about my dances and had a good time whether they thought it was "good dancing" or not.
With pikachu in tow and my mouse hat on my head, I made a fool of my self.... everyone loved it ^.^
Bows were full of bull as we mocked Mr. O and his silly movements and attempted the electric slide... fail-muffins
They prepared a reception for the seniors with cake and some called "real food" which i haven't eaten in two weeks time.
Ms. K and i talked about murders and awkward social situation as per usual... it was fun...

I am very sad its over. all those faults and fumbles make for good party conversation.. ^___^
What now you ask? Ballet exams, school exams, college, spring show and plenty of anime

G'night

My group dance looks far from really clean but I hope my dancers actually learn the ending in time so i don't have to sit in front of the audience on show night and yell at them what to do..
My solo is supposed to be awkward. its really funny.. I just need to remember it XD GO Ouran high school host club cosplay!
We take pictures of the show tomorrow.. i hate cameras >.>

Happily
i can hide away after the show on saturday for valentine's day and play wii all night. We call valentine's day "fuck the world" day... Join us XD

Happy fuck the world day!

wish me merd for my senior dance show!

But I've turned my attention away from all that and hiding my sketchbook where i can't notice it.
I'm now turning to sewing and making all the plushies i can for christmas presents. It takes my mind off of crap and doesn't require a pencil. just what i need..... ^.^

Happy Hunukkah, Merry Christmas and may you spend time not alone to wallow in self pity but with the ones you love and love you back. And a happy new year which may bring all the things that were missing from your life in 2008.... like a pony.. (not really.. if so, you have more problems than i first anticipated)

May things improve in 2009 to allow us to pick up the pieces of our shattered dreams and comforts. I hope 2009 comes with lots of super glue for just that purpose. Show some love to those forgotten anime characters we used to swoon and pick up the books that are gathering dust and give them a good read. Scrutinize your daily horoscope and watch some reality shows to give you something to laugh at. Splurge on the comforts of home and time and saving all that money you really want to spend at the Apple store (although a trip or two to Toys r' us couldn't hurt) Make 2009 worth your time.

happy holidays and may you explode with too many christmas cookies!

So, I've decided to pick up where I left off and fill in some blank spots that people question "What happened? How did he end up that way? How did she get involved with the shadows? So officially, Unofficially, I will be writing Clarity's story leading up to the day she left Lyman. The full story... than, maybe if I have the time, continue from modern day after chapter 20.
and ? What do you think?

Some ideas for my solo are:

Speaking of Which...
Remember that time you (insert verb here) off a cliff?
Persons... Not People
Just Another Fanfiction
TV rots minds, Anime explodes them
Monkey on my back
Random Anime Hugs and Evil Death Glares (The difference between...)
Nosebleeds and hopscotch
Poketh
I swear I've Given Up Mind Controlling People!
Pikachu In 2012
This Just Can't Be Right
NAAAAAAAAAAADEEEEEEEEEEESuKAAAAAAAAAA!! (This one is the best so far...)
...Then she said...
What does this button do?
...And then they all had breakfast. The End


Got any more stupid sayings that would make good dance titles?

I'm taking a semi internet hiatus so I can work on drawings, projects and school without feeling loser-like. Things will get up this week is Semi's drawing which is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay late!

I'll check messages every few days though ...



:alert: ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Cuidado!!!! ok, not a warning but LISTEN!!!
If you live in the Denver area and you go to or know people at Denver School Of the Arts AAAAANNNNNND you need wacky costume stuff for cheap for halloween DSA is the place to go!
The Dance department seniors are selling stuff out of our exclusive dance costume storage for 1, 5 and 10 dollars. No, no unitards...
If you have aspirations of being a pretty princess, a roman emperor, a fashion disaster, we have the cheap crap for you! we have lots of cloaks well made cloaks and mariachi costumes too! If you want to be a bear.. we do have animal costumes, we just need to convince Mr. O'banion that no one in their right mind would be willing to wear that on stage. Come buy stuff so WE can put on an awesome dance senior project show and YOU don't get left out in the cold without a cool DSA costume!
I COMMAND YOU TO BUY STUFF!!!

~Semi's Lyman drawing.. I swear!!! IT's almost done!!!
~ sweeney todd contest prize drawing is in the sketching stage.. sorry it's taking so long
~Lots of random sketches
~pictures of the winning type from Nan Desu Kan (which was fucking amazing by the way!!!)
~A few random photoshop projects
~MY plushies that I've made over the past couple months



Please be patient with me, I've got a lot on my plate at the moment so drawing and sewing are on the back burner while I get my school work and senior project choreography worked out

here are ones I'm thinking about.
"I object your reality and substitute my own!" (Mythbusters)
"Round Paper" (dance teacher)
"Look up in the sky, see a german flying by!"
"There's a hole in the world like a great black pit and the vermin of the world inhabit it..." (sweeney todd)
"You're made of darkness and shadows and rainbows!" (Michelle)
""Any dolt with half a brain can see that human kind has gone insane" (Dr. Horrible)
"Only one truth prevails" (Detective Conan)
"there is no coincidence in this world. the only thing is hitsuzen." (xxxholic)
"Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return." (FMA)
A multitude of them from yu-gi-oh the abridged series

There are tons more, i just can't think of them.... any ideas? tell me and your name will be in our year book. WHAT AN HONOR!! XD

Currently brain dead >.< from all the AP bio stuff and essay writing. speaking of which, I was slightly proud of this section of my essay last night because EVERYONE is guilty of this. don't criticize my essay writing skillz, just wanted to share what I thought to be true:

A Language I wish would diminish, like, forever
Like, have you ever felt like the word “like” is, like, you know, over used? How does America manage to turn a mundane word into the everyday essential vitamin L of teenagers? Like an epidemic spreading from the valley into the big cities, even the adults are blissfully unaware of the peril their language is in! Oh, the agony! Like, will the spread of this evil word ever end?! I shudder when a drama major uses (or over-uses) the word like to describe what they had for breakfast. I, too, am guilty of such a heinous crime. None shall escape the wrath of the word “like” and intelligence will cease to exist. The world as we know it will be over run by, like, “like” by the year 2008….. Oh wait…. Run for your life if you wish to live!!!! Or maintain some form of intelligent speech, which ever is more important to you, the individual. Oh, how my brain will explode if I, like, type the word “like” again. Such a harmless word, such power to make my mind twitch.

ok, in truth I got back on sunday afternoon, but I've been trying to get unpacked and gets things back in order. If you read that past couple posts you would've read that I was having a horrible time at this dance intensive. Yes, the first two weeks sucked ass. No one talked to me so in turn I talked to no one and I was in a world of stress of freakin body image and shit. I mean, I set myself up for a bad summer right? I didn't get in til 7:30 at night when I was supposed to be at the dorms by 2:30 because of problem with the plane so I just made myself miserable. My knee was bugging me prior but, of course, I made it worse by dancing on it more. My knee gave out durning the friday class of the second week exactly halfway through the program. I didn't dance the last two weeks but I didn't go home. Really, if it weren't for this knee thing I'm sure people would have gone the whole summer with out noticing me XD. No one knew my name before the supervisor and freaking carried me to the university clinic in my leotard and tights >.<

If it wasn't for that, well, I wouldn't have gotten closer to shaun, the supervisor and (michelle, the cooliest Mentor EVER!!) I found out that Michelle loved Avatar and Shaun was well on his way to obsessing over it as well. I actually found that alot of the mentors loved it! Shaun gave me permission not only to get on the guys' dorm floor but to also stay there a bit past curfew to watch the Avatar finale in John's (one of the male mentors) dorm with Michelle ^^.

No one knew my name before Friday, but the moment I got back from the clinic and they returned from classes for the day they ALL came to me (with the wrong kind of attention may I add ) But out of the "pity" (I hate that word) I made a ton of friends and only got closer to Michelle and Shaun (aswell as my dorm mentor Melissa) Michelle and I became good friends since I hung with her and Melissa while the others were taking class. My room mate also was kick ass since she was much like myself in music tastes and feelings toward preppy people and christian mosh-pits (yes they exist) Michelle only loved me more when I downed an entire Sobe durning an evening rehearsal for Swan lake. That shit has soooooooooooo guarana in it (3x as much caffeine as coffee) I was soo twitchy and hyper that my teacher was slightly frightened XD A bouncy balled filled with water and glitter and a couple musical theatre classes later Michelle and I were good buds ^^
Come the final day, I didn't want to leave. I bought a pair of burnt orange UT sweat pants and went around from person to person saying "sign my pants" yes it was as awkward as it sounded... Michelle's sig was he best (something to do with shadows, darkness, rainbows and Sherlock Holmes being a sexy bitch [DON'T ASK!!!]) I cried so much when the prospect of leaving Michelle really hit. I cried for a good 2 days and I still miss her sooo much. I drew her and Shaun drawings with my new fancy markers from an art store michelle took me to (i drew Shaun Naruto.. that it the only time I will willingly draw Naruto!!!!) All the violets (The top level for the ABT program) the mentors and I all found eachother on Facebook and I chat with Michelle on Skype.

If it weren't for my knee deal I wouldn't have made my friends and been to reluctant to leave. But I'm home now, I got my knee (kind of) checked out, but she told me nothing >.< So I'm thinking I just over stretched the ligament under my knee cap and it will heal with time. it only hurts to run and walk up and down stairs.
I bought my ticket to Projekt Revolution to see Linkin Park Live (Yes I spelled "Projekt" like that. That's the name and spelling of the concert name) on tuesday and I'll buy my anime convo ticket today aswell ^^ I'll upload all the drawings I did over the summer (they will probably be combined into one sketch dump)

Sorry for such a long journal >////<

Here's a meme I wanted to do from :iconerytiion:'s journal:

I can't leave home without crying like a baby. A month seems really long, but it's not and i'll be back before anyone even notices i'm gone. I'm bringing drawing supplies so i'll have plenty of sketches to share come august. I'll have limited internet on my cell phone, so i won't reply to many messages....
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ IF YOU HAVE YAHOO IM NOTE ME IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS SO WE CAN CHAT!!!!!! I'll be dancing all day so chatting might be minimal

to finish off this journal I would like to complete a task for

If you message me in this journal (like she did for me) I will answer the following points about you!!

a) Tell you why I friended you
b) Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, et cetera
c) Tell you something I like about you
d) Tell you a memory I have of you
e) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you
f) In return, you must post this in your journal.

It's fun! If i don't catch you guys before tomorrow morning, have a kick ass summer and i'll return with goodies in a month's time.

Love much

He was only 22 and their last concert together was the Denver stop for the Warped Tour just last sunday. This hit all the fans and band mates really hard.

Their new album contains my favorite song of theirs, Typical. Listen here [link]

A sad day for the local denver music scene

But kicking my dog and causing him pain was truly unnecessary. He's still a puppy and doesn't know any better. You punish a dog if he chases the cat, but you don't kick him against the god damn wall and make him cry.

I really love my father, but he can be so scary. I'm still shaking. This happened only minutes ago, i ran up to my room when he acted in such a manner and i haven't had the guts to go back down. i wish that one of these days he would apologize for his actions. He gets snippy and angry so easily, just telling him to calm down isn't worth the effort. you would think that after the countless times we have told him off about his behavior and the many times i've actually yelled back saying he was being unacceptable he would begin to understand that his actions have affects on others. I'm so tiresome of all this and i wish he would only listen and stop to think. He's never abusive. He's a loving father. He has only that flaw. That flaw makes him frightening. I won't face him again tonight unless he bothers to relise how he sounds. I won't accept nor forgive his kicking my dog even if Kodi acted incorrectly.

I don't expect him to change his attitude over night. He was too blinded at the heat of the moment to calculate an acceptable action.
I, too, relise that this sounds quite minor, but when you've lived with it for 17 years you would understand how fed up I am with him. I'm writing this to calm myself down because perhaps in his eyes I acted in an inappropriate manner.

No one needs to comments here, I just needed a release. My best friend is working late til 10 tonight so i can't call her. Good night (and i'm pretty sure my puppy is ok) My head is hurting so i'm gonna slip into bed. I'm finished bitching and moaning for now

I get to wear pretty tutus today, yay for feeling skinny in corsets!!




I'm finally at peace and i slept through the night for the first time in months, i will make this summer good even if it kills me

I have a long day tomorrow with rehearsals from 8:30 til 3 pm, but it'll be fine, cuz i'm spennding my afternoon at the bookstoreeeeeeeee!!!!!! New Manga For Me!!!!! and Sweeney Todd!!!! (which i'm listening to at this very moment in time!!!) and i received my year book!

My fave local Denver band: Flobots [link]
Life house: From where you are [link]
Sum 41: Motivation [link]
Goldfinger
One Republic: Stop and Stare [link]

this random japanese song, that's very addicting: [link]

but, most important of all the musical obsessions.......
THE SWEENEY TODD SOUNDTRACK!!!!!.
I personally prefer the Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter version, not because i'm a depp fan, but i think that the softness of the voices compared to the stage version gives the musical more credit in the "gothic musical" department. Because of my brokeness i can't afford the soundtrack, so i have to listen to it on youtube, so this person was cool enough to put the entire CD up for us broke fans
[link]
in the past week, i've listened to it three times daily, in the past month about 105 times (i'm not kidding you) (just calculate it for your self... 3 x 7 x 4 = 84 times last month + 21 more times this past week! Sweeney Todd has made my arm complete.. i mean my life XD

i worked harder than the 7 other girls..... godfuckingdammit!! this has happened 3 times this year alone, it's wearing me down. i wanted to do this ballet so badly. if it wasn't for my injuring my tendon in my ankle, maybe, just maybe, it would be different. i can still dance, i'm not letting a stupid injury stop me from doing any to the fullest, but i can't do anything to the fullest if i'm never given the chance. i haven't said anything to my parents cuz they really wanted me to get it. i'm in one peice for this show and i'm not even dancing , katie would know what ballet this is.. ruslan and ludmilla.
i've found that even with the work ethic and dedication, those who are favoured over others usually get that and more...fairness never applies in the world of dance... but why can't it?

that stoopid comic you saw, it got me 100% and it's being copied by my teacher for ref..... i am THE teacher's pet... not that it's a good thing

straying from jet glue, i found my calling in yelling at people. taking my chance to lead warm-up in class for dance, (knowing full well that i am disrespected and never listened to) i yelled at people!! (not in a rude manner mind you) with the echoeness of the room, i was listened to.... i like yelling at people ^^

Updates:
My scanner works quite well, so expect a flood of deviations within the next week...
my internet connection on the new computer will be set on wednesday
my 30 day photoshop trial is down to the last 8 days (cry cry)
my grades still haven't come in the mail
i finally responded to ALL my messages *pat on back*
things, though still dim and frustrating are a tad brighter due to the annoying happy season that is December

would you like to request a drawing? i'm coming up on 2,000 pageviews. get page view 2,000 and you get a drawing from me >.> (oh boy how amazing) with my lack of watchers, the lot of you on my watch list will have to repeadily look at my page in a spastic attempt to get the 2,000th page view....... dear lord, we need lives


happy new year, be safe and go easy on the wine and silly string

(but it didn't come with photoshop, the cheapos >.> so i have to buy it with my own moneyz. ohmiholyshitonasandwichwithshitontopgawd its expensive stuff.

History: n/a will find out 2morrow
Math: 80.5% not too shabby for my poorness in math
British liturature: 105% (becuase i got extra credit)
Spanish: 71% i hate spanish, 'nuff said

i'm not taking a science this year becuase the classes were too full and the teacher sucks (i'm serious he knows nothing about physics!)
the worst thing is that though these brought my grades up to a good spot... it wasn't enough and i'm (no joke about this) .6 % away from a better grade, evil i know >.> hate hate hate

oh and if (for those who actually care) want to know what i want for xmas... is a flamethrower too much to ask!

i've got about 30 peices tucked away in my sketch book and 3 in the works. i'm going to hit-up the creative writing depo at school and sweet talk ms. dubrava into letting me use one of the many scanners.

anyway, have a merry holiday season, eat cookies, be happy and smile enough for me aswell. that would be the best christmas present. i wish i could take part in the joy everyone else is getting out of this month. i'm on a mission to make myself happy, wish me luck.

oh and
tell olivia that she should try for both, but piano has an intensly mean teacher but orchestra the teachers and students are cool. she'll probablly have a good chance with orchestra, but auditioning in the 6th grade gives you great chances

these are the songs i have recently fallen in love with:

also check out Tin Man on the scifi channel if you get a chance. it kicks ass

check out my new music mix on youtube! it's a possible piece for my solo ^^
