I've been busy with school and all honesty avoiding Deviantart. My computer was slow and it'd tell me I had the same thing to say I saw over and over again, it drove me crazy.

On the bright side I'm writing a short story that's nearly done. Sadly it's a short short story.


...So what has everyone been up to?

1. I've been busy with video games. I know that's no excuse, but I don't need a quota of creativity. I'm not paid to entertain.

2. I deleted my myspace account on Saturday. I honestly couldn't think of a single reason to keep it. I even told everyone a week ahead that if they need me or want to contact me they had a week to do so. And no one did. Whoops, guess I don't care for myspace as much as they care for me.

3. I (sort of) started to write a new story. I'm not sure if I can finish it. I never get around to those sort of things. I'd have to be isolated for a week from most everything for me to get this at a pace I'd find myself acceptable. Maybe I can manage to do that? I'll take some time out and do that...

Also; my livejournal is easier to keep tabs on me.

I update it more often then this at least.

No guarantees on submissions though. I do title myself "Hack writer" for a reason.

Again I will brandish my weapon of choice, and I will pour my soul over a work, and- By God I will finish it!

Translation: I'm going to start writing again very soon. My first goal is to finish Seven Days because the thoughts have been going around for a year now. Then I'm going to continue writing between school, work, and Final Fantasy.

I'll write something eventually.


Eventually.

...Sort of.

I asked for a picture from my friend, ~doggish-liz. She drew my Gaia Online avatar, and from that, I decided I was going to try my hand at drawing. By looking at the picture for basic details [I can not draw a head on my own] I managed to draw a very crude picture of an older version of my avatar. I'll put them up to show you all.

Right now I'm working on a picture of a costume I actually want to wear, or something similar to.

You can blame A Clockwork Orange for implanting the idea into my head.

[But the book was still better.]

I don't imagine many people care for my work, nor will I go out of my way to create something that large amounts of audiences deem enjoyable. That's not why I write. I write for me, and for anyone that takes the time to read it. If they like it, great! If not, all well. It's not like I'm selling my work.

We are the musicmakers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.

  So I finished A Clockwork Orange today. It was a later release, because it had twenty-one chapters, the actual release than the American twenty chapter release. Bloody amazing book. Satire is something overlooked so often.

  I listened, finally to Blue October after I've had the album for a week or so... And I must say it fits my mood right now, the album of Foiled.

  It made my cry myself into a nap-like sleep, but it motivated me to finish chapter one, and I think I might edit some parts, changing some parts completly maybe. I don't know. I'll just have to see.

Not the one my journal said, no I didn't start reading A Clockwork Orange. I wanted to, but got lazy. I read Heretic by Bernard Cornwell. Very good book. I love to read about struggles.
  So I'm hoping to get more done with my story, and when I've finished the chapter, I'm going to redo it so that the part I put up is a whole part and I'll put it as a feature so you know when it's complete.

I hate that. It happens too often. [paused to change the song] Damned shuffle. Yeah, so I'm trying to do this and that and nothing seems to be working. I won't get off my lazy arse and do what I need to do, and the motivation for things are completely gone. I woke up today sick. Sick of myself, and sick physically. It's been a different day. I've spent way too much time in the bathroom than I'd care to discuss. And I haven't got as much sleep as I was hoping for. I took a light nap, basically. And my sleep last nite was horrible too. It's going to be a very long day. Hopefully this feeling of laziness, regret, woe, and self-dissapointment doesn't last forever, yeah?

[] Get started on a short story
[] Get a balanced diet and exercise
[] Find someone.

It's a small list, but it takes up a good portion of my time. I doubt I'll ever accomplish the last one any time in a week. That'd be a miracle and then some. Whee.

Right now, I've got VaJt living with me, for who knows how long. I'm just happy to have company. It seems like I was shutting myself out fromt he world for awhile there. I don't remember if there's more I wanted to say. If there is, I'll add more later. I'm done for tonite on this though. It's been a long week, but it's not over yet. Fucking spirit week.

It's called Saint's Row, and right now it's occupying my life. I'll write some before I go off to Tsubasacon in West Virginia this weekend, but I don't know if it'll be done. Sorry, but it's hard to do as much as I want to. When I finally sit down to write, I have no motivation. It'll get done, and hopefully I'll feel less like a pile of mud. Though that does seem to help the writing ability, low self esteem.

Maybe I should just run away into a hole somewhere far away. That sounds good.

]]> ~TakkunOzamaru http://TakkunOzamaru.deviantart.com/journal/10247053/ http://TakkunOzamaru.deviantart.com/journal/10247053/ Sun, 01 Oct 2006 11:15:54 PDT   I'm going to say by next Monday I'll have it done, so everyone that's waiting, just throwing that out there. A word of caution though. This is very dramatized, so there isn't much illusion as there was in the first chapter. I write without looking back at what I've written or I'd never get anything accomplished. I would change entire scenes and chapters, so I don't try to change it. I write without knowing what's going to happen myself, so I have to reread it a few times after I've put it up, so I can edit some minor mistakes and the like. Just telling you all out here in the DA world.

I wish I had a dream. She's going to the UK to get into a school and start up her career. I'm going to send her money sometime, because I know how expensive it is to live in London.
  I envy her. She knows what she wants. I've got nothing. Nothing but the ends of the earth. I look forward to a death that I'm too afraid to cause myself. I'm done looking for love, for hope.
  I looked into my eyes in the mirror today. They're not like they are in that picture anymore. They're distant, blackened. Dead. I'm a failure as a friend. As a son. A brother.
  I can't even cry. I've grown stale. Words do not come to me as freely as they do when I write fiction. I spent four hours last night telling her that it's not her fault she broke up with me. It's mine. I said "I'm sorry," at least three hundred times. I'm an awful person.
  Three people I've ever dated. Two only ever loved me. One used me. I liked her the most. It's better to be hurt completely and utterly than to keep on talking to her. I'm too submissive to be angry at them. I blame myself.
  All I can do is hate myself for being so weak. So insecure. So feeble-minded and hopeles. But I can't change it. It makes me furious. The longer I live the more I hate not just me, but people that I care for. I'm a danger to myself and everyone near me.
  Lock me up. Please. Before I do something drastic. I don't want to make anyone suffer. Not now. Not ever.

But, I can still photograph things, I'm not a complete and total waste of space...
  Anyways; the challenge. I will photograph 50 areas with a poster or 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper stapled or supported to various areas, and the posters saying various things. Now, here are some of the rules though.

1. No specific places. If you specify, then it's harder for me to find an area that works for the picture. Plus, I live in the suburbs of Cleveland and I'm a starving artist. Very poor.
2. You decide what goes onto the poster. Be it a saying, or some nosensical mischief, I do not mind. But, I don't want anything too profane or innate in nature put up onto public streets.
3. I pick what goes where. Hey, I'm doing it, so why wouldn't I?

  So that's basically it. I need you [the viewers and friends of myself] to give me suggestions and places nonspecific so I can go out and photograph them. Think of it like... The GTA hidden packages or in Dead Rising the PP stickers. Fun, right?

Right. ]]> ~TakkunOzamaru http://TakkunOzamaru.deviantart.com/journal/9898579/ http://TakkunOzamaru.deviantart.com/journal/9898579/ Tue, 29 Aug 2006 16:41:13 PDT   Yup, I've made a DA account because I'm a whore. Well, not so much a "whore" as "someone who wants to show the whole world how much they suck" kind of person. ...Somehow whore seems more on key though.
  Now, I'm not much of an artist as I am a writer, but I've had visions for art in my mind for quite some time now. I think I'll try to draw, but it'll be very difficult, and I do not claim responsiblity for any bleeding orfices after viewing my awful pieces of work. So don't blame me.
  I'm not much of a poet, for that matter, but I can try. I don't usually do it on a regular basis, but this is a habit I'm trying to form. Right now, nothing comes to mind... Except for the word "angst".
  Funny story about that. I made the topic of my English class today about angst. Most people didn't know the word. Or, that it even existed. I thought it was common knowlage. Then I asked my English teacher if there was a word in English for the French word, "rendezvous". I've seen the US use it in games, movies, hell, in the army. I figure, with that whole "freedom fries" thing going around, that they'd want to use the English word. Apparently it's called "tryste". I think I like the French word better.
  Well, maybe I'll get started on a piece of writing or something, and I'll post it up later or whatnot.
  Oh yeah... I secretly like to photograph things, so I might post up a picture from time to time. I see moments quite often that are just simply breathtaking. I have them etched in my memory, but I want other people to witness what I do, so I need to start carring around a camera. Not a digital. I like digitial cameras, but it doesn't give me the same feeling as film does. Not as satisfying.
  Okay, it's really hard to type like this. I've indented every paragraph manually. Stupid "tab" button makes me unselect the box and select the next clickable object, which happens to be the "add" button for journals. I've got to be more careful, but I've also got to find shortcuts to this. Or they need to make this actually give me the option to put this in paragraph form and whatnot.

  [Just so you know, I've got to put in coding to get this to put an indent in... It's really a pain in the ass. I don't speak coding very well, know very little, but it's like Japanese. I'm slowly learning, trying to get help from others more skilled than myself.] ]]> ~TakkunOzamaru
