Now I'm not going to post anything special in here since I'm a lazy bastard. I just want people to know I won't be using dA as much...I don't find it like I used to find it, so to say. I'm only going to log on a few times a month to check up on messages, but hey, I still love y'all, right?

I blame two things:

1. Lack of motivation to do anything

2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

I've been doing some more art and I haven't posted it up on there yet, I'll post it in a bit.

Now, as you people know, I've gotten Ronnie the Dragon already. But I don't think I'll go out trick-or-treating this year. Know why?

Because I don't have anyone to go out with. I'm a loner And going out by yourself isn't any fun at all!

But to anyone that's going out tonight, please...refrain from taking too many Caramilks. I know all too well what happens if you do.

I don't think I'm doing anything...much...on Thanksgiving. But for the rest of you, have a good one!

On another note, fursuit is really close to completion. Hopefully it'll get here soon...

]]> ~SkyRyd3r http://SkyRyd3r.deviantart.com/journal/27450686/ http://SkyRyd3r.deviantart.com/journal/27450686/ Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:26:55 PDT

Now that I'm back, more boring school tommorow (and I mean boring not because it's school, but we do nothing of interest everyday...) and I'm feeling really tired. I'm getting seriously worried on how my fursuit progress is going because...well...it's a long story.

But anyways, too lazy to do my regular updates list. I still have much to work on for 's contest, and she will kill me for that. But I have to say something: I'm really losing my interest for the internet life, and for making art solely for putting it up on the internet. I read 's most recent journal and I feel what she does. Somehow, going on the net just seems so...blah, now.

Same goes for my writing life. There seems to be no interest in it for me anymore, and I don't know how to fix it. Alot of ideas I've been told I've tried, but they all don't work. If anyone even reads these journals...I'd appreciate some more advice.

I've been thinking about something. In a game that I own, when you don't communicate with your friends, both of you lose interest for each other and your relationships decrease.
I've noticed lately that I haven't been talking, or trying to talk to any of my friends that I've known for years, or newly-made friends. And when I think about it, I think our relationships are fading...probably because I don't find chatting for endless hours in a chatroom that appealing to me anymore. But I can't help the fact that I worry that all the good times that I've shared with people online will mean nothing if I don't keep my internet life up.
Just had to get that out...

Now I don't know how many of your actually take time to READ my journals. A while ago I based the number of people that read my journals on the number of comments (which was really few...and that broke me). Now I know that I shouldn't be the one to judge whether you read my journals or not, because we have not communicated in such a long time. So tell me, if you're reading this. Are you reading because we're still friends, or you just like my ramblings?

Well anyways, this weekend I won't be here, I'm off to an awesome, action-filled church retreat! I'm going to be ripping across a 700-ft. zip line, pwning at beach volleyball, and sniping some people with archery. That's just a few things that I'll be doing at this crazy camp over the weekend. I'll miss you all, and I'll try not to stress myself over the fact that everything I have is overdue...dang, why does it keep popping in my head?

Another fursuit update: My commisioner has been busy of late, she has college in her way, so after a few more messages she's told me that this coming weekend, when I'm gone, she will attempt to get a bunch of the remaining fursuit done. The head, pants and tail are done, what's left are the arms, feet, and hands. Hopefully they come out good...

Still anticipating Midwest FurFest 2009! Can't wait to meet all of you there, give lots of hugs and get to party together!

By the way, if I get Ronnie before Halloween, I might just take him out for a stroll. Might see if Cornwall The Dragon is doing anything on Halloween night, if him and I can prowl the haunted streets together as two scarely-cute dragons.

I've been rambling again, but I know you all love my journals...you do, don't you?

But other than that, no updates really. I won't be online as often so I can devote my time to academics and building my hobbies and extracurricular activities up.

....Yeah right, like I'm gonna devote to academics. XD

]]> ~SkyRyd3r http://SkyRyd3r.deviantart.com/journal/27091442/ http://SkyRyd3r.deviantart.com/journal/27091442/ Tue, 08 Sep 2009 10:12:55 PDT
School.

It starts tommorow! So hopefully by the end of tommorow I'll know how busy I'll be, how much time I can spend online, and ultimately if I have to stop some things. Hopefully I won't have to, but after starting a new fanfiction, entering a good friend's contest, and delaying my art list on FurAffinity for quite a while now, I'm pretty sure one of those will have to be halted until I can settle in comfortably in my new school year.

But who cares about that, let's go onto the fun updates.

FURSUIT UPDATE: I can safely say it's about 80% done. My furrier has informed me that head is nearly done (Still working out the kinks), the tail is done (I saw a picture, and it's so GLOMPABLE!), and the rest should be done by the end of the week.

BREAKDANCING UPDATE: Back to school isn't all that bad. It means I can hang with my fellow BBoys at school again, learn off each other, and ultimately battle in each other's faces

ART UPDATE: Right now my primary goal was to finish my good friend's contest entry, but even I find trouble getting that completed. The deadline is the end of September which gives me a lot of time thankfully, but I think if I want it to look it's best I'll have to step it up.
Oh, and for my FurAffinity watchers, I'm sorry that most of you have requests/I requested things and I haven't gotten one done. I think it shames me whenever I log onto FurAffinity, it haunts me that I can't live up to art expectations.

WRITING UPDATE: As mentioned afore I've started a new fanfiction on The Sky Temple's Forums, and will EXCLUSIVELY be there. That's right, I'll too lazy to put it up somewhere else

RANDOM UPDATE: I saw three, fat, cute raccoons running across my street last night!!! OMG I WISH I HAD MY CAMERA THEN!!!!

Post 10 quirks of yours that people may not necessarily know.

1. I ALWAYS dance while on the streets. Breakdance was originated in the "streets" of Brooklyn, so I'm just carrying out history and fun!
2. I try to assimilate my real life buddies into my GOOD hobbies, and breakdancing too. My latest attempt was on my friend to get him to like Mah-Jong.
3. Whenever I turn on either metal or rap, I'm motivated to draw. Music like soundtracks that are supposed to motivate you to draw, I usually play games instead.
4. I buy at least 4 bags of Jalapeno chips whenever I go to the grocery store.
5. I try NOT to get pictures of myself when I go on trips, due to my self-image of ugliness! I only do group pictures.
6. I'm stuck between wanting to start/join a breakdance crew, joining my friend's band full-time, or getting a part-time job which would kill off the other two.
7. I always stay online for a few more minutes, even if I say I'm heading off for the night. Doesn't mean you can contact me though
8. I enjoy balancing at least 5 non-related things at the same time on my computer (e.g. IRC, YouTube, art, fansite, BBoy site
9. I love dragons and try to get as many plushies of them as I can, but I end up getting other furry cute critters instead!
10. I always chain-break tag memes.

And in line with Number 10, I'm not tagging anyone. STEAL IT OFF ME!

Yeah, like anyone will read this. All of you are reading for the updates, no?

So I departed from Toronto to Las Vegas at 8:30 AM, 4 and a half hour flight, but when I got there local time (PST) was 9:30 AM, so it was almost like we'd never left Toronto, so we had 2 breakfasts that morning. The hotel, The Venetian, was like, the nicest hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, regardless of its 5-star rating. The Venice-themed hotel was beautiful, and our suite was elegant and nearly flawless, even though I read from many reviews on travel sites that their rooms were unclean.
After playing on the king-sized bed for about an hour (literally) we got out and explored the hotel's surrounding hotels, which weren't as nice as the Venetian. Checked out the pool, which was both huge AND really nice, there was no depth change in the pools too, which my mom loved for some odd reason.
Onto shows: I saw three shows in Vegas, all were good: Blue Man Group, Phantom of the Opera, and Le Reve (aquatic acrobat show). My personal favorite was Blue Man Group, because everyone knows I love high-energy music, drumming, and improv comedy. That's what they brought and more, and I loved every second of it. Le Reve would come second place, and then Phantom of the Opera in third.
Also took a tour of the Grand Canyon...dang, that place was breathtaking indeed! Got lots of shots but I won't put too many up, and I even got a shot of me breakdancing at the Grand Canyon too! Yeah, I love to show off like that X3.
Food...I ate too much Johnny Rockets!!! For you Americans reading this and eat Johnny Rockets, you make Canadian fast food burger chains look like fools! I definitely gained another pound which I will work off ASAP if I want to retain my slim body and fit in my clothes! The buffets at the Paris and the Mirage hotel were awesome too, if anyone goes to Vegas be sure to check those out.
I returned on a transfer flight on Friday morning, from Vegas to Cleveland departing 11:15 AM, and arriving at Cleveland Ohio about 6 PM local time. Then from Cleveland to Toronto, which was only a 50-minute flight. Once I got back home, I flopped on my bed like any other crazy guy like me would do.

That's the end of my overview because I'm nice and will spare all your eyes from illogical gobbledygook.

Now onto the exciting updates~

FURSUIT UPDATES: Still working out the touch-ups for the head of Ronnie with my commisioner. Hopefully the head will come out well so I can send over the next part of the payment and she can start on my hands/feet/legs/arms/tail.

BREAKDANCING UPDATES: Gah! Vegas put a big dent in my athleticism! Curse you for your awesome hamburgers, Johnny Rockets! I got a few pictures of myself breakdancing in Vegas though, and at the Grand Canyon as well! Those will be up soon, hopefully if I'm not lazy.

ART UPDATES: At the moment, I'm working on 's birthday gift (which looks like a bleh XD), and as soon as I clean it up and get it on here, I'll start on my delayed art list that I have on FurAffinity. Then...we'll see what I do from there.

WRITING UPDATES: Doesn't look like there's much to tell, other than I'm still stuck at the same part of my story with terrorists. Darnnit, they're even more tough to write about than fight, in my writer's opinion!

RANDOM UPDATES: I was tortured in moving heavy boxes today by my mom

(The clever 00.02% is for dire disasters, and just because I recently saw a label with a 99.98% garuantee on it. )

Hope to see as many of my buds there, and make new ones!

Two weeks can hold alot of things, but for me it doesn't spell any disaster nor cheer. I'm glad and gloomy at the same time that my final week spent in Canada is all in my hands. I can choose to review for school, hang out in front of my computer for 14 hours straight (like I do now), go out (which I NEED to do), and etc.

And the final week of August, I'll be flying to fabolous Las Vegas, Nevada! I'm preparing to smell cigarette-ranked air, hear endless rings of the casino, and watch the magical splendour of Las Vegas entertainment. I'll be staying at the Venetian, a FIVE-star hotel! So if I can, I will try to keep track of everything on my net life. I'll miss you all indeed, don't worry.

Fursuit update: I personally think it's going along fine, I can feel my next payment coming soon that seals the price of my fursuit head. A WIP picture of it can be found here ([link])
and I are working out the kinks and adustments as we see fit, so Ronnie the Dragon will be top-quality.

Art update: Still having trouble getting myself to draw anything. I guess it's a longer battle than I expected, but I've been throught this before. I just hope I don't delay for much longer.

MFF update: I've gotten my travel and accomadation plans set and in place, so all I need to worry about is registration. There is one thing that bothers me, though: For kids under 18, you need to have a Parental Consent Form filled out and signed by a parent/guardian, as well as it being notarized PUBLICLY. I'm pretty sure I don't have to spend another $100 or so getting a public notarization, but that part has got me confused. I've sent an e-mail to the registration e-mail adress, but it's been a week and I haven't gotten any response. If anyone has been to a convention and faced this similar problem, can you please help out?

That's all I can bore you guys out for now with. XD

P.S. Happy birthday to !

Today was grading day in my martial arts class, where people that have all their requirement stripes to grade perform their routine (or as Karate terms name it, kata). I was daydreaming during that time, sitting in the back of the dojo along with the others that weren't grading because I didn't have all three pairs of my stripes required to grade, so I knew I wasn't grading. Or so I thought.
I was daydreaming when my Renshi called my name faintly, but I was still in the mindset I wasn't advancing a belt tonight. Then he screamed my name, and I snapped and got up and ran alongside my fellow green belt. So I did my pro thing, and at the end of class...BAM. I gots my pretty blue belt~ And one entire month before I was supposed to as well! I saved a month's worth of $50/hour tuition fee!

And the second part of the night is...

I'm going to MFF (Midwest Furfest). I've got nearly everything done now for it, and I've SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER ecstatic over it, I'm just containing myself online . Hopefully, I can wait two months without anything dire happening to unleash myself unto MFF.

*turns away and takes a deep breath* WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO!

So after coming back from work early (It was a half-day), I returned home and got my mind off my sister by playing PS3 for about three hours until my dad came home to bring me to see my sister.

So after I fell asleep in the 30-minute drive to central downtown Toronto to the Sick Kids Hospital (Top 3 in North America), I swear my heartbeat slowed down as I walked through the main atrium. I have never visited a family member directly related to me in the hospital, and I knew I was going to freak one way or another.
I entered the room and my sister was on the bed looking like a hospital patient from TV shows, but unlike TV shows, my throat immediately had a hard lump in it and my body turned to jello...I honestly lost it there. She looked so weak...and it was clear she was in great agony. Strange thing was, my dad brought her Eeyore plushie from a huge supply bag that he brought for my mom.
I ran out of the room after about 33 seconds of being there...I was on the verge of tears, though I tried not to show it (Shame on me!). Honestly, my sister almost always gets on my nerves, but that was a moment I wanted to give her a big hug.

The cyst itself was humongous, and inside it was water. Not just water, 4 entire liters of water. That's 4 1L cartons of milk she held in her stomach for quite a while now. I'll go into the details now: My sister has lost one of her ovaries permanently, but she still has the other so she will retain her ability to bear children.

Well my parents and I went a block away to grab a quick dinner, and that was when I heard some pretty funny stories about what went on before and after the surgery. Before the surgery, in the morning my sister was her usual self...cool, moody. Then three hours later she comes out literally screaming, but it was because the agony was too intense. She wailed for her Eeyore (the reason why my dad brought it), and even funnier when my dad told me that she asked for STICKERS. Honestly, a teenager asking for stickers? And a teenager like herself? I thought to myself, as my dad did: pain really brings out the true emotions of a person. So I think today I experienced what my sister had hidden in her heart for all those years.

After all the anecdotes and the dinner we went back to the hospital and that was when my aunt and my grandma arrived...we went into the room to visit my sister again (who was asleep), and IMMEDIATELY my aunt and grandma started chatting away like it was a dinner time! Honestly, that was embarrasing in my opinion, plus my sister got really annoyed (who wouldn't when you're trying to sleep?)

When we left the hospital, I was left wondering...a 16-year old brave, confident girl who had everything she wanted...was broken down to a small child in a mere 3 hours. It scared me, but I take comfort knowing that she's alright, and recovering now. I'll still be praying for her, and I hope that all that read this will as well.~

So back to work again at the summer camp I volunteered at three weeks ago. In the morning today when the kids came most of them gave all the leaders so much attitude, I swear I was going to have the worst day ever.
Thankfully that didn't happen...by the afternoon things were a bit better. I was dead tired though, so I just kicked back and played...

My new PS3. Yeah, go ahead and flame about "Oooooh, PS3 suckssss" and all that jazz, I couldn't care less. But I love it, it's actually the best thing since my computer...maybe not. I bought a few games for it, GTA IV to name one (I know I'm Christian, but honestly when I played it at my cousin's house it was mad fun, and it's so darn realistic unlike anything else). So I cranked about 5 hours straight of GTA IV, but I cut in some Call of Duty: World at War in my playing time as well.

Well as for my artist block I'm curing myself by doing actual art on my summer camp group's table. I'll post it if I'm actually willing to. Some of the kids saw me drawing a Lugia (Pokemon), and they were like "OMG, is that a Lugia?", and I replied "Yep, it's a Lugia. It's a crappy version, I didn't even try." while the kids are staring at it like Picasso drew it. Well, I'll post the two different papers I have from my two weeks up if I can...it's just a matter if I can STOP WASTING MY TIME ON GAMES...

My sister's surgery to remove the cyst out of her stomach is this Friday. Please, I hope everyone will pray for me that it goes well. I'm 99% positive...but hey, there's that 1%. Do go smart-assing me on that, please. And since it's past midnight and it's July 28th, it's my sister's birthday as well! (Funny...her birthday is 3 days before her surgery.) So, here's a sweet 16th birthday shoutout to you from your pesty brother.

I also have 3 weeks of FREEDOM (don't you love the sound of that word?) coming up after this week of camp is done. So in that time...I can't predict what will happen, because time can only tell that. My only wish is to get off my lazy ass and do something productive.

FURSUIT UPDATE: I sent the payment to my furrier and it should get to her by the weekend. I'm tracking it everyday so I should know if there's any problems or not.

On a side note...

BLUE DRAGON WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Played really well for my skill level against all the pro-adults and I actually won quite a few games too. I was cheered crapless by my dad and other adults during the final game because I had so many movie-like epic-shot moments.
I kept on thinking about the Black Eyed Peas's song "I Gotta Feeling" during the time there, and in the song the chorus goes "I gotta feeling...tonight's gonna be a good night..." and I realized to myself that I've just been thinking that every night/day is going to be a boring one.

Time to wake up from that delusion! I need to start thinking positive like that now!

And I think because tonight that chorus was stuck in my mind, was what boosted my concentration, mood, and overall play.

I've also been watching sooo many movies over the past week, such as Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, Inkheart, Knowing, Valkyrie, and others. I don't really tire of them, but since those movies I haven't been able to sleep that well XD

And I'm super-happy to say that fursuiting progress is moving along again! My furrier got the WIP of the head up today [link]
And I think it looks great! I'll be sending over my first payment now so she can continue further! Hopefully before the end of summer I can get him. He'd be great for sooo many things. And I'm literally SPROUTING with loads of other fursuit ideas, such as a White Tiger, a Kung Fu Panda, and the legendary King Altador (from Neopets). If all goes well...then we'll see what goes from there.

Art will start once I finish my fan-fiction on the other fansite that I joined. I've been holding it off but have gained more relevant info towards it so I want to get at least one chapter up (or more) before I fully pay attention to my Art List again. People that are on my Art List, I'm very sorry

But...have to shower now and get ready to watch Gran Turino now...these movies don't stop coming!

I'm failing miserably at my art, and I don't only blame the addictiveness of online games. I have to blame myself for not struggling to exercise my art.

Anyone have any tips or cures for complete fail-ness?

Started first day of summer camp volunteering today! I had to say it was a little tiring, sort of felt like when I volunteered for the first time last year. I knew all the layout and most of the kids that returned, but some of them had a little too much sugar in the morning. I found myself having to tell kids off MUCH more frequently than ever before. Even when we went on the outing today (To a popular bowling alley), some snotty kid in my lane that I was in charge of passed the word "You're a dickface" by me, and I instantly was on him like a wolf on prey. I may sound a little sensitive, but hey, when you're trying to improve the kid's christian life (It's a Christian camp), and you're trying to make peace within everyone, you pretty much gotta take action. I didn't literally get "on him", just sat him down in a quiet manner like most professionals and had a little man-to-man talk with him. Hey, it was in the volunteer manual that I was given, so I couldn't have it my way and knock him around with a few bowling balls. Hahaha

But I'm dead tired, and I have absolutely no idea why I'm still staying up. Hopefully tommorow, and the rest of the week, the kids won't give me constant migraines and start riots just because they think I'm a little too harsh. But as the camp director directly said to the campers at the opening of the camp, "Life isn't fair". So I guess those kids will have to face some brutal reality. I keep it REALLY nice though, and lenient, so the kids from last year are pretty content with me. The new kids however, they act a little "rebel" and "outspoken", so hope for me that I don't get mauled by cold sandwiches.

Anyways, I don't think that art will be up in a while because I've had this major block and distraction, what with everything going on. Sorry to all the people that actually pay ATTENTION to my art. Writing has gone up a little bit though, glad to say that.

Note to people on Art List: Yes, I will try to get you all done. And I will really try. If you feel that I am holding you off, or am incompetent, you can keep that to yourself OR request to be taken off. Your choice, don't feel obligated or targeted.

That's all the silly little dragons I have running in my mind now. Until next time, don't try to eat your spaghetti with spoons.

To be honest, I partially thought about what was going on at AnthroCon '09 in Pittsburgh. I'm trying to shake it off and drop it because I know that I'm going a little too "over" it. But still, I hope that all that are attending AnthroCon '09 are having a fun time, and being safe.

Anyways, let me break down quickly what happened over my vacation:
July 1 - Arrived at cottage and unloaded things, and ran all over the entire town of Bobcaygeon, Ontario like the wild nuts me and my friends are. Then pretty much nothing else until nighttime, when we joined the CANADA DAY (!!) celebrations by the lake. There was alot of music (most of it was old stuff...bleh) and sparklers, and then when the Canadian national anthem was played my friend whispered to me (China rocks), and I slapped him on the shoulder to remind him that it was Canada Day, and to be respectful.
And then there was a HUGE fireworks show which was awesome, they had all kinds of professional fireworks. It wasn't as big as Disney fireworks or things like that, but it was still big, and we enjoyed getting our ears tortured and the bright flashes in the sky!
Then after we went back to the cottage and set off out own fireworks, which were miniscule compared to the fireworks show that we went to beforehand. Still find though, my dad nearly got fried by one .

July 2 - I slept in until about 11 AM...hehe. And I woke up thinking about AnthroCon, which is really irritating me now that I look back on it because it's really unneccesary. Anyways, all my friends were already up and they showed me a dead turtle underneath the dock at the cottage...it was smelly and stuff...I don't even want to begin to tell.
Anyways later on in the day we went shopping, blah blah blah...then in the night we had a HUGE campfire and roasted marshmallows, which none of us are good at and set most of them on fire...
Then we played Broken Telephone by the campfire and we messed up lots of times...and then we just sat and enjoyed the warmth, and I personally kicked back and looked at the stars, and shut my eyes blissfully...moments like those are hard to come by, so I took full advantage.

July 3 - Woke up first this time in the morning! A big suprise! Today was a really strange day because my dad taught some of my friends how to play Chinese Mah-Jong, and then suddenly all of my friends wanted to learn and play. So I was left to teach all my friends how to play Mah-Jong, then we just tanked an entire night of pure Chinese-style Mah-Jong. Truth was it was really entertaining, as throughout the games we really random stuff. Too much to list :-p

And well today, we packed up and left! And I'm back here, still wondering about AnthroCon and hoping that everyone attending is having the time of their lives.

I'll be sure to update soon. I also got some shots of my dancing, so you'll see that.

Second, I want to wish everyone heading off to AnthroCon '09 a safe trip, a fun time, and a great time meeting furs and re-uniting with familiar faces, as well as all the events, places, sights to see, and the craziness...I really can't imagine how fun it could be, and I'm missing out on it this year. I'm going to make it a personal commitment to make sure I can go NEXT year. After hearing, seeing, and chatting about it, I really want to stop chatting about it and make it there in 2010! And hopefully the year after, and the year after, and...you get the idea.

So onto what I already posted yesterday: Tommorow I will be leaving early in the morning to head up north to the cottage area of Ontario, and hopefully we won't get lost like last year...we're going to a new place with family friends...*shudder*
So I won't be seeing you all until Sunday July 5th, which I will be DEAD tired, and hopefully also cleared off all the things on my mind. Honestly this time with my art list on FurAffinity, I definitely think I've bitten off more than I can chew. It's resulted in a art/write block, so hopefully the fresh northern air can clear up my mind.

And right after I get back from the cottage the day after I'll be starting summer camp volunteering. I love the camp, but I'm not sure if I'll be 100% ready to tackle another year of crazy little kids jumping all around me on the trampoline, or sneaking snacks from the camp refridgerator again. (Joking about that part.)

But alas, I have to go to my Martial Arts class now, and then right after I'll be packing away all the neccesities and fun things for the cottage trip. I hope you all take care for the rest of the week! Until Sunday.....

Thankfully today I went to a cinema that didn't have as much popularity as others and I got tickets! I have to say the movie was pretty much better than the first. I'm an action guy, and this movie was packed with fighting, so I guess it fits me perfectly. I have to laugh at the dirty parts in the movie though, and the two side characters Mudslap and ... don't know the other one, were a pretty good comic relief in my opinion. Blast all you want if you don't agree with me. Only fault I really find is that like the first Transformers, they kept on playing Linkin Park's "New Divide" (the official theme song) randomly and pretty darn noticeably throughout the movie, which I found unneccesary. And there were some racist themes in there too, but I won't spoil it for you guys.

This Wednesday I'll be going up North (No, it isn't THAT cold up there) to the cottage area of beautiful Ontario ^_^ And I won't be back until Sunday July 5th! So I'll miss being online for 8 hours straight, but at least I can kick back and enjoy beautiful scenery. Along with spraying all my friends silly with my two ultra water guns.

I'm sorta dropping away from deviantART in place of FurAffinity, which in my opinion is a little strange, since most people on deviantART are also on FurAffinity! But barely any of my TST friends. I've also been socializing and making more friends there than deviantART, but I guess change just is. Maybe I'll spring back to deviantART again or find some way to balance everything.

Anyways, fursuit progress: I guess it's at a little halt but starting to move, I've been in recent contact with and we seem to understand each other really well, as well as correctly guess what we're thinking well. I've seen her other commisions and they're progressing fast but it's because of my complications to my design that are holding her up. I guess I won't be getting the fursuit soon, but as long as I get it, I'm fine.

I've discovered that my summer freedom has evolved into summer torturous work. I've lately been blasted with work requests and such, from my dad to my aunts to my fellow colleagues. I don't know how I can cope with it all but I sure hope that I do. Only one of the jobs is for cash though, the rest is just for volunteer because I'm too damn nice.

So my next journal will probably be tommorow just to say goodbye, then you won't have to see my ugleh face for the rest of the week.

To tell the truth, I just sped through the questions and never looked back. 8D

That's how I feel about exams.

But anyways, I CAN FINALLY DUMP THE 50 LBS. OF PAPER IN MY BACKPACK WOOHOO!

So, summer list was already up...main priority for summer is to get my fursuit by July 6th.

Well, school isn't COMPLETELY over due to exams (I have two exams, one on Thursday and one on Friday), but regular day school is now over. Time to break out another 12-pack of super-unhealthy Coke Zero and repeat some songs.

So over the summer, here's what I have planned:

Current: Study for exams (Like I'm ever going to bother.)
Send payment + items to fursuit commisioner

July: Work at church's summer camp
Help construct dad's store
Go nuts with furries (hopefully, I'll have my fursuit then.)

August: Work at dad's store
Plan for school (Like I'm ever going to even THINK about that.)

And overall, I hope to see you all well and cared

I had an awesome time and experience going around the place with Cornwall, Sparrow, and DJ as they did their furry "thing". You might think that I might get bored; well, I certainly did not mind walking around with Cornwall at all and helping him watch his step (and minding some kids who were a bit "eager"). We also had lunch together before suiting, and had a few furry laughs.

If you're reading this Cornwall, it was a great time and experience with you, hope to see you at another outing soon!

Pictures will be posted up shortly! Stay tuned!

By the way, BEFORE I FORGOT: Check out my brotha from anotha motha's sweet pic of my new dragon fursona! [link]

Anyways, business aside...

I'm getting to see :ledgema: on June 14th! YAY! I can't begin to tell you I am UBER excited. He's such a cute, big, and cuddly blue CANADIAN dragon! Sadly, I'm not getting my fursuit until the end of June O_O.

BUT, I'm going to get , my commisioner, to use that awesome picture from as a huge reference because that picture was freakin' hot. In a good way.

And I'm now addicted to 24. TWENTY-FOUR. TWENTY + FOUR.
Who knew that it could be so...DRAMA!?

SOOOOO, once I get my fursuit, I'll be MAD posting on deviantART and YouTube. FOR SURE, YOUTUBE.

Shout out to , , and for their recent awesomeness. For those of you that don't know...just don't.

Tally who!?

No where do I get messages, not even my e-mails except for like "Bob tagged you in a photo"--NO. Seriously, I may sound like an attention freak, but I'm just not used to having it this quiet in my life. Then everything about me just goes silent. ._.

I had a performance today that I was supposed to prepare for, but I had two obstacles: One, family from various places around the world were arriving tonight in Canada. Being Chinese, you gotta go greet them. Two, I bit off more than I could chew with my performance plans. Seriously, what the hell was I thinking with such a complicated performance with my crappy ass-plan to practice?

I'm a failure at planning for personal things like that. Just like my work habits.

Now I have this insane craving for junk food...LOTS AND LOTS of junk food. I swear today I've consumed at least a 12-pack of Cola...and eaten 2 party-size bags of chips...and other fatty, disgusting, non-healty foods. Seriously, these "comfort foods" as they call it, are breaking me DOWN. I can't control them. ._.

And today I tried a random comic for FurAffinity, and I ended up slamming my desk and Alt+F4'ing the damn program. I'm just no use in getting myself to do what I want to do.

]]> ~SkyRyd3r http://SkyRyd3r.deviantart.com/journal/25022872/ http://SkyRyd3r.deviantart.com/journal/25022872/ Fri, 29 May 2009 20:48:30 PDT
First off: I didn't get my job. ._.

Let me break it down as to how I found out.

First off, on the day before my second interview, a hasty e-mail was sent to me by the admin of the children's ministries that runs the camp, telling me not to come due to apparent "budget problems" that had to be resolved. So obediently I did not go, but I somewhat speculated as to why they would cancel so last-minute.
Then on the first mandatory camp worker/volunteer meeting that I went to this past Wednesday, they publicly announced the PAID team, the one I applied for. Obviously I wasn't on it, but instead a Grade 8 boy made it on. No one knew about my interview, but everyone that interviewed me (I had a panel interview, for those of you who know what that is) was there. I tell you, it's very hard to keep a straight face after hearing something like that in front of everyone that was going to be working.
Now, from what I understand from my parents who are professionals at hiring workers, employers don't send messages of sympathy to those they do not hire, but messages only to people that are hired. But to my understanding, plainly speaking out the list of people that made it on the paid team in front of everyone, including people that did not make it (cough cough), IMO was just plain BS.

I've tried to gather positivity from this, and suprisingly I've actually found one: This year's volunteer year for me will not only complete my 40 required hours of community service that is required to graduate from Ontario high schools, but it may serve as a testing year to see if I'm ready enough to be on the paid team next year. Already I'm recieving twice the duties that I recieved last year as a newbie, and a special personal job (non-paid, of course) from the camp director himself. I'll see how it goes from there and keep it posted here.

~

I've never been so excited about getting a fursuit. Well, probably because this is probably going to be my only one for a while.
I've sent in everything except the first payment to my furrier, , but I'm waiting on her improved concept sketches and for, I think it's the eyes of the fursuit she's doing?
, if you're reading this, I would like to see another improved concept with all the details I added on it ^_^

And I've gotten into this furry fandom pretty quickly, joining various sites such as Anthrocon and FurAffinity. Yeah I know, a freshman like me getting into such BIIIIG stuff that people twice my age are actively on. Well, change happens. Besides, grab me a Red Bull or something and I'll be in the same insanity-range as them.

Is that all for now? I think so. My rice krispies are getting to shower London with corny goodness.

On a side note, I'm learning how to do roundoff backflips! YAAAAAAAAY! They're so fun to do, they're not even scary anymore. I did one on solid concrete on the street in front of grocery shoppers and my friends today.
I'm aiming for cleaner flips in the future, then I'll move on to making my flips look awesome

JUDGEMENT DAY JUDGEMENT DAY JUDGEMENT DAY JUDGEMENT DAY JUDGEMENT DAY JUDGEMENT DAY IS THE MOST EPIC RAP SONG EVER (IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE CLASSIFIED AS RAP!)

CHECK OUT 's AWESOME CONCEPT SKETCH OF MY FURSUIT GUY! Though she got the name wrong, but that's alright ^_^
[link]

YES. I'M FINALLY DECIDING TO GO THROUGH WITH MY WILD, CRAZY DREAMS OF BEING A FURRY.

Hooray for teens/adults dressing up as cute characters and acting like little kids!

So, I have to thank my good friend for putting up with all my crap drawings (I'm making more...) for my fursuit ideas, and actually making the price affordable for a guy who isn't working YET...

I forgot to mention that I got a paid job interview this past Wednesday! EEEEEEEE! It was for a summer camp leader position at my church's AWESOME summer camp! I was pretty nervous throughout the interview, but I plucked up the courage and gave the directors of the camp my best and most positive attitude

And guess what? I got called for another interview!!! Tommorow!!! My mom told me that if they call you back it means they liked the first interview. So my chances of the job are INCREASING. I can't wait for tommorow to come! Please everyone, pray/hope/wish me good luck so I can get this job and not go broke when I pay up for my fursuit!

So anyways, I have to get back to working on my sketches for . Thanks all my friends and whoever supports me for my wild ideas of joining the thousand other furrys in the world!

Here's a link to the first, extremely "ROUGH" sketch of my fursuit, Ronnie the Dragon.

Toodle do everyone!

First off, it's when Americans get off school. CANADIANS GET OFF SCHOOL ONE MONTH LATER!?!?!? THAT'S NOT FAIR!!! (Even though they go back to school in August, I want my vacation NOW.)

Second, I'm failing miserably in the subject that all Chinese like me are supposed to be "geniuses" at: Mathematics. Seriously, I can't believe that I'm putting no effort into my math whatsoever, and I notice it's affecting my mark EXTREMELY. It's just a matter of time until I can't keep it from my parents...oh god. >_>

One retarted thing is that I went to a breakdancing competition on May 9th, and it way really "meh", but only because I ONLY watched the preliminaries! Right after they end, my dad calls me and tells me I gotta go back home and get "dressed nicely" because we're going to watch Jersey Boys!?
Seriously, GO WATCH IT WITHOUT ME. IT WAS FOR MOTHER'S DAY, BUT I SERIOUSLY THINK MY MOM DIDN'T LIKE IT.
Waste of a perfectly good competition! And I couldn't enter because my friend, who I brought along, is a beginner at breakdancing. The competition was 2 VS 2, so I didn't have a partner. -_-"

And what's REALLY retarded is that I told ALOT of my buddies here on dA that I had a breakdancing battle at my high school this past friday? Well guess what? One of the vice principles at my high school doesn't think that breakdance has anything to it that is worth putting up for show. Well guess what Mrs. Kennedy?
F_CK Y__
My buddy at school, who hosts the events, says that we should be doing something in June instead, so I'm waiting for more info on that. Hopefully that's mot bullsh_t either.

And now my art class in school is more stressful than ever. We're making greek vases right now, but I haven't even got my clay halfway done, and we only have 2 more school days to finish it. THEN we have to put all our fancy designs and crap on it, which I haven't even planned out.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
This weekend is a 3-day weekend for me. Thank god for the extra day.

Other than that, I'm actually beginning to doodle partials for possible fursuit designs that I might commision someone to make for me in the future! I've mainly been doing dragons, since that's all I'm obsessed with.

Regarding fursuits, I've also unexpectedly found an old photo of me in a Cliffor the Big Red Dog fursuit...that was so suprising and harsh...I can imagine everyone LOL'ing as soon as they see it.

Next week on Saturday, May 9th, there is a breakdancing competition near where I live, so I'm going to check it out and HOPEFULLY, I can grab one of my friends to come so we can sign up for the competition! It's 2 vs. 2, and it's free all-ages. I don't care if I win or lose, I just wanna have fun but there is prize money to be claimed...mmm, that might just spur me...I WILL, however, take at least one video there and post it on YouTube for all of you to see. What's better though is that if I enter with a friend, you'll get to see my...awesome skills in action.

I got a real "real" lecture from my drum teacher today about how lucky I am to get such little homework (practice-wise) than all of his other students...I was feeling somewhat annoyed by him as he kept going on and on and on and on and frankly I didn't know if he would stop or not. Geez, I'm a natural-talent person, I'm not one for learning things BY THE BOOK!

Um, I'm actually considering doing harder work than just pencil-sketching, such as...making my own plushies and figurines. I've had past experience with the thread and needle before, but nothing as hard as a good quality plushie. And as for figurines, in my Friday art class we were given clay and told to have fun, so I just started forming what I imagined to be King Altador (see "Neopets") in little parts of clay, making his head, neck, and arms. Imagine my surprise when it actually LOOKED like a head, neck, and arm(s)! So I might continue it, though I can't do clay anywhere else but my art school since doing it in my house would be havoc...my house isn't that great for art, other than painting and sketching...

And this mind-warping song I'm listening to is making my head spin...oh wait, I'm just spinning my chair around. LMFAO.

So I'm hoping forward to a fast two months so I can finally be FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE to do what I love best: being lazy!

So I probably will stay away from my computer until I make sure I'm better...

But I STILL have this big English essay that I have to start!!! And it's an argument! I HATE ARGUMENTS!!!

I'm so dead for this semester of school.

And my math teacher will probably give me 20 pages of math homework once I get back.

I watched Twilight. TWILIGHT. Not on my own will, my mom forced me to T_T It wasn't BAD, I'm just more of a high-octane, action, free-flowing guy.

Okay, enough with my sucky life-report.

Er, I've been recently watching more and more fursuit videos for no reason whatsoever (Okay...maybe because I LOVE furries...), especially ones that involve the fursuiters dancing! Even BREAKDANCING!

And it makes me so made that I don't have a fursuit. I seriously WANT to get one, albeit just partials. But I don't really think I have enough stored up from what I recieved from January-February ($1000+) for a good, durable fursuit that can last excessive breakdancing wannabe-usage. The fursuit will take a banging too, obviously. I pretty much demand strenuous activity, but I don't think fursuits were really designed for that, plus all the extra upgrades for something like that would cost like...help, anyone?

By the way, shoutout to for talking to me about fursuits recently. I need ALL the help I can for understanding the world of furries. Fursuiters for life! Along with B-Boy 4 Lyfe, Dragons 4 Lyfe, Redwall 4 Lyfe, and fat-free junk food 4 Lyfe!

TO
Hey brotha from anotha motha, YOU better get a fursuit too. Then when we both have fursuits, I get a chance to serve your ass in a battle. (Just kidding!)

TO
As soon as I acquire a 'suit, I'll see you at Anthrocon, parks around Toronto, videos, and anything and everywhere else!

Let all my dragon friends, Canadian friends, and all dragon fans know that Toronto, Canada, will soon be invaded by Dragon B-Boy Ryder. Also known as, me. I am planning to get a fursuit soon of one of my dragon characters that is dance-able, but that will have to, sadly, be delayed.

So anyways, this is a random journal dedicated to my love of dance. At my high school, there's a dance showcase at the end of the year that anyone can audition for, but the auditions are on April 27th. My crew's practice schedules aren't pulling together, and often we'd have to call it off last-minute due to last-minute excuses. Right now, since this is pretty big, I've put aside most of my art (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SKETCHES) and I'm now trying with all my dedication to come up with a good choreographed dance performance, hopefully good enough to get us through to the big stage. I'm under alot of pressure right now, leading this big group, organizing everything, and planning all the dancing. Please hope for me that this crew will have a powerful debut.

I've also made a YouTube channel for this dance crew. It's currently under construction, but please subscribe/friend it for support of my crew. Sorry to say you won't get cookies if you subscribe, but I WILL be posting up crew videos, songs, performances, and off-time videos on there.

I've completed the first book! Sorry I didn't post the ending up here, I only posted it up on The Sky Temple Forums. Here's a link to the ending page. ([link])

Andd, here's the second thing: I've gotten the prelude for the sequel up on The Sky Temple Forums as well! Please, if you've read SkyRyd3r's Story, check it out. ([link])

Anyways, not much to say about life. This journal is not really talking about life anyways. Just that I will be busy with my dance crew, obessing over DRAGONS, and this funky make-a-game-out-of-garbage Tech class project I will be working on.

Tallyhoo!

I had a MAJOR art book project due today, but the supply teacher that's here for 2 weeks is nice enough to give me a deadline extension until Monday. But I seriously need inspiration...I'm like, going downhill in school...
And not to mention a major English presentation that me and my two friends have to make a 20-minute long video about. T_T We're doing it nigahiga-style (with lots of random stuff and comedy), and it's about a short story called The Rice Song. Yes, I chose it because there's rice in it, and rice is very "asian".

Anyways, other than that, I've been discovering hidden Linkin Park tracks that I absolutely LOVE, and are addicted to. I've also been busy collecting plushies (Hehe ) and watching too many breakdancing videos on YouTube just to get inspiration to get better at breakdancing, because I haven't formally practiced in a long, long while.
And my dance crew is starting to get a little shaky, because I'm finding ALOT of difficulty trying to get an appropriate practice schedule for us. All of our lives are different, and everyone in the crew has loads of other activities they have to do afterschool. I want my dance crew to really, REALLY work, but progress is extremely slow and we have a month and a half to work on our dance.

But enough with the bad news, let's move onto something brighter.

I got the Pokemon 10th anniversary Lugia commemorative DVD from a Toys 'R' Us in Canada! I nearly missed it too, if I didn't notice out of the corner of my eye the solemn guardian of the seas on the bottom of a DVD rack. It contains the 3 extremely-uberly-epic-awesomeness episodes of Baby Lugia and Lugia, and I do no regret buying it. All of you that think that's silly, go burn in hell. Okay maybe not, but just keep your comments to yourself, please?

And I also watched the movie "Bolt", the Disney Animation. I'm telling ya, it went way higher than my expectations. Some parts of the movie were so soulful and emotional to me, I was actually on the verge of tears. I actually was, no kidding! John Travolta can really bring the cuteness out of a dog like Bolt, and I think the storyline is brilliant. For something NOT Pixar or DreamWorks Ltd. affiliated, it's an exceptionally great movie.

My art...well, I'm starting to question my activity on dA, because I'm pretty much on a hiatus of art. Not even a block, a hiatus. The only art I do now are scraps, and all the scraps I do I end up furiously erasing away at, because I'm failing at it. My visual arts has got me down with all this watercolour crap and all this Principles of Design crap and all this EGYPTIAN project crap. I don't blame the teacher, I blame the darn department for making such a boring curriculum. Next year in Grade 10, I'm taking Visual Arts - Computers, just so I can get away from my boring paint brush and palette. There may be one piece of watercolour that I may be willing to upload, it's a project that I'm working on in-class. But it's coming out crappy, even for a rough copy, so it depends.

Anways, this darn screen is killing my eyes, so I'll stop writing for now. I hope everyone takes care of themselves and stays safe.

I had a blast there with my best friend and his family, going to a new waterpark and running all over the place. The waterpark was pretty meh, but the running around was FUN. XD

My family and my best friend's family went to Rainforest Cafe, and our table was right in front of this animated display of gorillas. O_O My best friend's little brother was scared outta his pants.

By the way, when I crossed the American border into New York, I MOBBED the Target and Toys 'R Us stores...for what, you'll just have to figure out

Anyways, I was supposed to go to my OTHER friend's dad's funeral tommorow, but I decided not to go. It just wasn't meant for me, and I haven't been in contact with that friend for over a year...

BUT, I got the PS2 version of Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain Of Memories in Buffalo!

Anways, I'm doing stuff that's very childish, SO DON'T BOTHER TRYING TO GUESS WHAT IT IS. And no, it's not dirty. I'm feeling very hyper.

Two more days of March Break left...

Anyways, I'm probably not putting anything up on deviantART over the March Break as I'm SERIOUSLY occupied, going to Buffalo in a few days...and the father of one of my best friends has died. And I'm pretty heartbroken over that...

But anyways, I wish you all a safe, fun, and happy March Break! Hope to hear from you all soon!

***IMPORTANT NOTE***

Hey people, I was actually going to ask some of you to do birthday art for me (particularly those on TST). But since now it's pretty late and I don't want to act like a ************ *** too all of you good people, I won't ask you.

Anyways, I need ANOTHER art list to remind myself WHAT I NEED TO DO!

1. (Canceled Chinese New Year Picture coloring.)
2. 's gift picture
3. Talek study (pending)
4. May Okami's 3K Kiriban

I'd just like to let you all know that TOMMOROW IS MY 14TH BIRTHDAY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

O RLY?
YARLY
I DUN BELIEVE YOU D:<
*BONKS* BELIEVE IT!

ANYWAYS...Ummm, I just want to let you all know that I love you (in a friendly way) ALL SO FREAKING MUCH! THANKS FOR STAYING BY ME IN dA AND EVERYWHERE ELSE! YOU'RE ALL THE BEST!

I'd really, really, really, really, REALLY, love birthday art or a birthday fan fiction of some kind from anyone and everyone. I'm not demanding it (only meanies do that D, but I'd appreciate it so much and it means a hell of alot to me, probably more than you know! I would probably be dead by now if it weren't for you guys, keeping me happily socially alive here!

I hope I have a good one, and I hope all of you read this!

Remember, you always have me as a friend whenever you want to chat

BFFs: EVERYONE!

Anyways, the mountain we went to was SHIT...all the runs had random ice patches and weird rolling hills, and they were all too damn easy. THE RACE COURSE...Goddamn, THAT WAS MADE OF ICE! I fell on both of my time trial runs and got HORRIBLE times...Like, I'm probably one of the worst times there. The rest of the day I spent loafing about in the mini-Terrain Park and the Half Pipe...those were at least a fraction more interesting than anything else...

And then the bus ride back, I got in trouble with one of my coaches because not only did I forgot to hand back my pinny, I didn't give it to her in PERSON. Then I had to walk halfway across the parking lot getting a reprimand from her before being told to back back to the bus...in a blizzard. Like, SERIOUSLY!?

And I try to sleep on the damn bus, but I have to change seats because some douche stole my good spot while I was gone...and the people around me were screaming in my ears and poking me around...and one of my friends on the bus even trash-talked using me while I was sleeping! Damn him, if he wasn't in the same Karate school I was in I would kill his ass.

And when I got back to my high school, my ride back home was HALF AN HOUR LATE. I had to stand in the freezing blizzard (The school was locked) for thirty minutes just TRYING to keep warm. BUIZELS ARE NOT GOOD AT KEEPING WARM IN THE WINTER.

And I have a SHITLOAD OF HOMEWORK TO DO! Three projects and one quiz tommorow! And I shouldn't even be on here!

Seriously, life sucks for me right now...I don't care if you think this is easy, because for me this is the shittiest shit I've even had to go through...I'm beginning to doubt my faith (christianity), because I had an epiphany on the chairlift. Was this a test of faith to see how long I could hold on, or is there really a God watching over me?

MY BIRTHDAY IS IN TWO DAYS! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Y'all better get me presents >

Well, Friday the 13th wasn't even unlucky for me. In fact, it was more good luck than bad. The only REALLY bad thing was I got late for my first class (Tech) and now on Tuesday when we return to school from Family Day I have to clean up after the class. BLEH!

But then nothing else bad happened during the day. In fact, in my last class of the day (Visual Arts), we threw a party for Valentine's and Friday the 13th and did absolutely nothing, except for stupid name games.

Maybe this counts as a bad luck thing, I just of this now: I pulled my left biceps while breakdancing yesterday with my friend at our usual spot.

But anyways, I was so distracted from Valentine's, that I forgot to do Valentine's Art! SILLY ME! I should make it now, but I have two rented movies I need to watch, and I don't like submitting late work.

And my list of non-imminent art is STILL the same. These darn holidays keep interfering!

1. Color my Chinese New Year art (50% done...)
2. 's background
3. Swordmaster Talek study
SIDENOTE: I don't even think I have to study...I already know how to draw him!
4. Prep. for Easter pictures?

AND, I have my extremely-overdue-setbacked novel that my dad says I really, really, really, really, REALLY, have to finish, though I've changed it up a bit and don't know how to exactly put it all in words. I've put the epilogue of it here on deviantART, please go check it out! It's the newest in my gallery!

Anyways, I'm off to watch my rented movies.

...

IS A VALENTINE'S CHOCOLATE! EAT HER!!!! *omnomnomnom*

Anyways...my Vista broke down recently...(epic fail!) Due to the damn hard drive reacting to some program. And it escalated to my ENTIRE hard drive crashing on my Vista! I'm using my old computer now.
It started out last night when I got back to my computer after going out to dinner. 10 seconds after I turned on my music, my computer blue-screened, saying how something went too far trying to buffer up in the hard drive (I couldn't read the message on the blue-screen, it just flashed and went).
So it rebooted my computer, and I was on again, but a minute after the reboot it suddenly shut down...with another bluescreen. So, I went into System Diagnostics and diagnosed my computer. Voila, hard drive problem. So anyways, I logged back on and everything was just...fine. Wonder what's up?

This morning I went on my computer and after an hour of work with my mom to produce some lunatic video for her, during the process it bluescreens! Now, I'm thinking "WTF?", because none of this has ever, EVER, happened before. So now my dad comes and tinkers with my computer. He's found out that this time my entire hard drive crashed. The data was still there, just that the computer wouldn't start regularly. So, I waited 9 long, painful, computer-less hours for my dad to come home from his Sunday job and extract the data for me. I haven't lots any data, but my Vista is gone until my dad brings it to a repair company.
Now, my hunches? Because of my mom's "Oh, it needs to be super-high quality" video needs, I took videos off YouTube and put them into .MP4 format and put them into Windows Movie Maker. Before, WMM wouldn't take ANY format of video that I converted online, but guess what? It took .MP4!
So, since the day I put those .MP4s and ran them into my media systems, including WMM, my computer has been acting up, with these bluescreens. I think it's the WMM of my Vista, which is shit to the very end. I'm just grateful that all the data, not the programs, are safe. The programs? Bah, I can always re-download them.

Moral: FUCK VISTA!

ANYWAYS...

RANDOM INSERT: I watched the ending of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. I BAWLED MY EYES OUT...in my mind.

I actually finished the outline of my Chinese New Year Picture!

People who are reading this: OMG! NOWAI! O RLY!?

Yes. Time to work on...

1. Coloring the damn thing!
2. 's background
3. Swordsmaster Talek study (Oh god...that's a challenge)
4. Whatever I feel like.

Oh, by the way, I'll put a shoutout for the new dA Virus. DON'T YOU DARE SPAM MY PROFILE WITH THOSE DAMN PHONY LINKS, OR I WILL SEND YOU A VIRUS MYSELF!

Anyways, I did horrible...the course was extremely icy due to other racers already going on it. And I was extremely nervous at the starting gate...time trials always have that effect on me. And I got a sheety time...landing me very far back on the rankings. I was 97th out of 136th...I'm so disappointed in myself. I need more training, and the next training day is next Tuesday, but my parents have forbidden me to go to it since they think that I'm skipping too many classes for this. And the regional championships (which qualify for the provincial championships!) come up on the 19th! That's...

TWO DAYS BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY! YAAAAAY MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I won't demand any birthday art from anyone, but that would be EXTREMELY nice, and plus I'd give you a big, imaginary hug

Anyways...I'm trying to get a f****** outliner so I can outline my Chinese New Year picture (It's done, finally!) And then I'll move on to 's picture, and then it's settled: I'm going to study Swordsmaster Talek. If you don't know who he is, just look for Talek in my favorites.

Anyways, my dad is nagging me to play Rock Band 2 with him...even though I think it's pointless...so, tally ho! Take care of yourselves, everyone!

Then everything else, if I put it on a list, forget it. This art is a pain in the neck because I'm running out of ideas/inspiration.

Well, next semester is coming up for me, starting on Monday...I have four new subjects, all of which are hard according to my friends. Intergrated Tech, Academic Math, Academic English, and Visual Arts (with an INSANELY strict teacher). I think I'll die, but since Visual Arts is in, hopefully that means I can squeeze in more time for art.

I don't think, however, that I'll be able to do more art after this New Year picture because I've promised my mom to make an animation for her. She wants it as a suprise for her boss's 60th birthday, and I have to do a frame-by-frame GIF Animation...please kill me now.

And I've actually STARTED the 4th part of SkyRyd3r's Story: A Tale Of Shadow Lugia...because well, I just want to get rid of it. Well, I'm pretty certain that most people have forgotten about it, and I'm not even sure if anyone will be interested in even reading it once it's up. I lost the storyline, so I had to compose from where I left off. Thankfully, after playing the boss battle of Kingdom Hearts 2 a few times, I gained a mite of inspiration for my "final battle".

And I've gained a new favorite phrase! (No, not the one on my profile)
It's from Kingdom Hearts 2, the letter at the end of the game from Kairi (Kingdom Hearts fans will know her)

~Thinking of you wherever you are~
We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows? Starting a new journey might no be so hard,
Or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds, but they all share the same sky-
One sky-
One destiny.~

I AM A KINGDOM HEARTS FANBOY AND I'M PROUD OF IT.

I have my final exam tommorow (French), so right now I'll have a little look over that then get started on my New Year picture!~

BUUUUUUUUUUT anyways, I got money. LOTSA MONEY. I won't tell you how much though , it was much more than the money I recieved at Christmas.

About the art...well, uh, it's just this little problem called an artist block. I KNOW I've been meaning to do art, but I just....CAN'T. I can't focus on art anymore...I know that some of you guys (and girls) know how I feel. I really should do a Chinese New Year picture though. So guess what?

I'm going to make a promise. If I break this promise, you ALL can call me a blockhead and throw pies at me. I PROMISE TO MAKE A CHINESE NEW YEAR PICTURE TOMMOROW AND PUT IT ON dA.

Now, remember that .

I did, however, learn something productive over the last 4 days. HOW TO PLAY MAH-JONG!
Yes, I'm THAT Chinese. I'm not terribly good at it though, I'm still developing. But at least I can now play with everyone that I know.

I have my final exam (French) on Tuesday. Although it's easy, I'm still a bit jittery

If you're interested, here's another art list that I have a slight chance of actually completing due to my "artist block"...
1. Chinese New Year Picture (One for dA, another for something else...)
2. 's background.
3. Errr..what was three? OH YEAH...uhh, forget Ark Wolf
4. Swordsmaster Talek (don't expect this)
5. *does not have a 5*

Again, Happy Chinese New Year! *Formal Kung-Fu Bow to all of you*

Anyways...I have high school Grade 9 exams in two days, and my parents are expecting alot of my science exam, which to them is the only one they REALLY care about. This entire past week I've been reading my notes, textbook, review package, etc. over and over again, but I just seem to forget it all once I stop reading! Seriously, I'm freaking out on this. The other two exams I have are Geography and French, but those two I have down good. If you're asking why I have such a little amount of exams, my high school is semestered.

I'm really starting to go crazy about three things: Anime Characters, Dancing, and America's Best Dance Crew. You know what's the problem with me? I don't get into anything that's new, and then when it gets "old", I suddenly find interest in it. Then everyone is like "Oh, that's soooooooooo last year/old." And I always feel like I'm living in the past. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I can't decide -_-.

Well, um, for art...what do I have? I honestly don't know. I have a second sketch of my new dragon that I can scan, but guess what? It's done on the back of a sheet with the periodic table of elements on it. *facepalm* And the paper is pretty thin, so light goes through it REALLY easily, meaning that if you see it, you might see the outline of a reversed periodic table as well.
But, anyways, I've had nice YouTube conversations with my fellow Ontarian and dragon-lover and I want to do a background for him, so I want to work on him first.
I also got this weird obsession with godly wolves now. (I BLAME AND ) I created in my mind the Ark Wolf, which is a wolf that controls Lightning, and well...I'll see if I can come up with his design after Wednesday, the day when I have 2 of the 3 exams. I have a 5 day break after the 2 exams on Wednesday

To all of my friends that read this...I'm sorry about not being active and associating with you all. I DO care about all of you, because without you guys I wouldn't remain here.
To all of my friends that DON'T read this...I'm not going to curse you, you're still my friends.

Toodle do!

-I will complete at least a piece of art a week.
-I will find a way to continue Pokemon AMV making.
-I will stop all the drama I've done in the past.
-I will stop being such an ass. I know that I've been one before and my friends have hated me for that.
-I will fight on to continue my fan fictions, even if no one is there to encourage me to write.
-I will CHANGE.
-I will stop eating so much oh-so-yummy fast food for the sake of sports teams.
-I will actually try to pursue my talents, such as dancing.
-I will not slander against family or friends, even if they may slander against me.
-I will not try to abandon my childhood by replacing them with things that society accepts. A.K.A. I will not succumb to peer pressure.
-I will stop trying to wrestle my younger peers to death.
-I will stop calling my sister a fangirl because she's obsessed with Twilight...what a fangirl. *runs from anyone that would kill me because of that D:*
-I will stop having kung-fu fights randomly with my dad.
-I will not annoy my mom when she has a sharp or heavy object in her possesion...yes, I do that.
-I will not hold a grudge against anyone that isn't worth holding a grudge against.

Well, there's my list. I'm sure I'll think of more as the countdown to New Year's keeps clicking down. Until then...MINT CHOCOLATE IS AWESOME.

I'd like to hug all of my online friends, but it's a sad thing I can't do that in real life.

So, for Christmas, I didn't get much...I never expected much. A $30 Gift Card towards any EB Games store, a $50 Gift Card towards any purchase in a chain of malls, $300 straight cash, and chocolate. TONS OF CHOCOLATE.
In the past I'd get so many presents that I crowded half the space under our faux tree.

Well, about my flu, most of it is gone so I felt like going on the computer today. It's now reduced to an irritating sore throat, which has been playing havoc with my coughing. I've eaten so many cough drops, that one night my tongue even turned yellow! I literally freaked out and started trying to get rid of it by scaling it with paper towel and water (I was in my church's washroom when I found out...)
And when it didn't work, I got home and scrubbed my tongue with my toothbrush for a full minute, until I could barely see any yellow. And then the next day it was 99% gone.

Anyways, I hope you all had a GREAT Christmas, and stay safe! Don't get the flu like me! I go too far when I snowboard >.>...

I'm DYING to test out my new snowboard and absolutely ownz0rz the skiing slopes! And Terrain Park, of course. I'm going to TRY to get a video of myself snowboarding .

EARLY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! I MADE ALL OF MY FRIENDS A GENERAL CHRISTMAS CARD! CHECK OUT THE FRONT OF MY PAGE!

I have started to play...gah, I shouldn't even mention it.

I'm getting richz0rz off Christmas! $300 in cash and I'm going to get more still! I'm going on a mall shopping-spree the first chance I get!

Er, I've kinda gotten stuck on my Redwall story, since I've rediscovered this game. No, it isn't Maplestory, that's just plain gross.
BUT...If you DO read my story, I'd just like to let you all know that I really, really, REALLY, need comments on how I'm doing, and anything I can do to make it better.

Art...well, I'm going to try to re-vamp my art skills again over the break, but I NEED to snowboard as much as possible and train, because the Ski/Snowboarding Team at my school REALLY starts off after the break ends, which is January 5th. Currently, I'm helping with making him a Neopet character for one of his series on Neopets.com. Hey, don't flame me for that, or if you're one of my friends in real life (, from example), I will KICK. YOUR. ASS. I'm doing this because that guy is mah friendz0rz. He even made me a Buizel Christmas Card, making me look "sharp" in it!

Ummm...
loves to spazz out.
loves Aero bars. OM NOM NOM NOM
