So I figured I was over a long lasting phobia I had as kid of scientific predictions.
Yes. I have a phobia for that. Ever since I could remember.
Anyway, on History Channel they had a special on what the planet would be like if current humans suddenly disappeared.
That's all well and good (also inspiring) but HELL. When they get into certain topics it scares the crap out of me. Seriously.

So I think I'm traumatized haha.
And probably won't be able to sleep well without nightmares.

Has this happened to anyone before? Getting scared so bad that it's become a sort of problem?
I thought I got over this then I watch this special hoping it would give me ideas for writing (which it did) but still-- It goddamn brought back that phobia.

I had trouble working on an image while watching that. I swear-- I am so bothered enough to make a journal post on it.
I rarely make a journal post on anything but I'm sorry this just really crept me out.

I forgot to make a journal on this before, but I was actually meant to take Summer school this year for Geometry.
However, it appears that will not be happening. So that means I can work on Oh Princess! more and artwork in general.
I will also be at AX this year... No I won't be selling anything... Wish I could haha.

Also, new poll.
I'm wondering who people like to images of out of my two main characters. haha
I draw who I want when I feel like it, but I'm just being curious so don't mind me haha.
Plus I needed to get rid of that other poll since Sariah decided her personality now.

And appears school has been doing good. I'm still in Honors, even though I haven't been trying as hard as I could lately haha.

I'm also planning on doing much more serious pieces of art... Hopefully that will come along....

As most of my watchers know, I have a character called Sariah. Or Princess Sariah.
She's the blond girl on the front page here with the braid.

I have been trouble finding a personality that's right for her.
So I made a poll.
And a brief background for her:...

She's a young woman who found no real meaning to life anymore because she discovered at a young age that she can't die and her parents don't really like her. She couldn't seem to find a way to fit into society and she also lived in a house in a forest isolated by everyone with her cat.
Sariah's job was selling candles at a church though... Which she had to ride her bike to everyday.

Hope that gives some clarity....

Well my vacation ends tomorrow.
So I'm not going to update as much, most likely, or not. That truly depends on me.
School is something that's been more of an irritation than a stressful thing for me. Lots of catching up and it's not very fun, I assure you all. I want to go into independent study, which will allow me to do my passion, art, more often and still learn things.
I don't get cabin fever, so I'm fine if I don't have to leave the house. Like I'm ever able to leave the house anyway with overprotective parents.
Well that's depressing. I bet that most of you who are reading this don't give a damn about me myself anyway, so I'm just gonna move into something more positive.

I apologize for not updating the actual Oh Princess! comic. I made many many changes that I assure are much more promising than the old ideas. The characters are more developed and things make more sense now. So look forward to it!!!
And the poll results are making me laugh guys. It's hilarious. Oh poor Letticus... Haha.

Whatever. Hello life, you aren't being very fabulous right now. Last year was nice, but this year is just terrible. And it's just the beginning. I'm cursed or something, nah wait that's whining. Whining is annoying. Not going to whine.

Oi, new poll people. Vote if you want.

So I decided I wanted to try to be more productive. Therefore I'm going to try to go to bed earlier than 12-1 AM in the morning.
My teachers say I'm lethargic or something... Oh well. This doesn't mean I won't be doing artwork. I do art everyday. And updates on anything are on a totally different level than school or life... So it's all good.
And to friends: I'm always available on weekends and Fridays. If you have something awesome to talk about, please talk about it then. Thanks.
And homework is important guys. Watching your movies, pchatting or doing art can always been done later. Homework = Priority.
I'm tired of seeing all of you getting in trouble or stressful because of it... Just get it done and it'll be alright. Seriously.

In other news, I want as many people as possible to flame this old journal post of mine in 2007.

Hey you really do learn something new everyday.
Seriously. Here's an example: [link]

So today I thought about some things and I realized that... Maybe Sariah isn't the main character of Oh Princess!.
As weird as that sounds, I think Letticus really is.
Yeah I know that you probably don't care or are totally confused/lost in what I'm talking about, but if you know what Oh Princess! is and have been following up on it then you'll know.

When I make illustrations for Oh Princess! I tend to draw Sariah a lot. And I have claimed she's the main character. However, based on written material for Oh Princess, such as the scripts and its many drafts, I have evidence that I've been publicly giving wrong information regarding on just who the main character is.
To be honest, Sariah never was my favorite character in Oh Princess! even when I made it back into July 2008. I noticed that during much of early production that I focused more on Letticus than Sariah herself. Sure, she is still an important character but she isn't necessarily the one who moves the plot forward like Letticus does.
In fact, the title itself Oh Princess! is a phrase Letticus says very often.

Whether this is relevant to you or not... Sariah is not the main character of Oh Princess! Letticus is.
So yeah.

Oh I'm amused on how the poll came out. Excluding the "I don't mind which on you work on" choice, seems like Oh Princess! won. Well I'm gonna work on Oh Princess! more then. Was planning to do so anyway.
I'm still in production for Fractal Point, but I like that story too. So we'll be seeing more of both.

Hey new poll.

So lately my motivation is going downhill due to the isolation I am getting from friends and family. Everyone seems so busy, and stressed, or upset. I feel I can do nothing to amend such feelings and it has left me in quite a slump.
The most I've been doing is watching a couple of my favorite animated films or fantasy movies to keep me preoccupied and hopefully inspire me, which some have.
Alongside some movie going, I have also been working on some other story project by the working title of Fractal Point.
You may have seen some of my concept art I have posted up for it.

I am concerned on whether I should work on that story or Oh Princess! more.
Here are both of the stories to each:

Fractal Point:
The year is 1986. Nicolette (Nicky) Bakers is a 13 year old girl living in the suburbs with her triplet best friends, Eric, Samantha, and Alina Sullivins. However, tradegy strikes, which causes her friends and herself to flee into the dark crevices of the nearby forest. Noticing her friends running into what seemed like safe shelter, Nicky followed them only to find herself within an intertwining pathway. This pathway had led her into an unfamiliar world where she is no longer a young girl, but a young dragon. Determined to find her friends and to return to her original body and world, Nicky goes into a journey to visit Lord Alvarez, the ruler of this strange world who is said to know everything. But there is something strange about this world that has led her into the point of no return....
_{(GENRE: Fantasy, Romance, Adventure/ RATING: Teen 13+)}

Oh Princess!:
Any little girl would love to be a princess. For Sariah Vernz, a 19 year old video game nerd, she is. That is, an alien princess from the distant planet of Spirule.
Once a loner living at the edge of a forest, Sariah just recently discovers her royalty blood after a walnut shaped UFO falls from the heavens and a band of men who claim to be her Guaridans, come out and tell her that she's the long lost Princess of Orion, a kingdom on Spirule.
Now living as a Princess, Sariah experiences a lifestyle she never had within her kingdom on Orion. However, a war rages on with an opposing kingdom, Pyxis and a lot has certainly happened on Spirule... Especially after Sariah arrived.
_{(GENRE: Science Fiction, Comedy, Drama/ RATING: MATURE)}

Both stories sound pretty lame when I summarize them... But anyhow... I have devoted so much to Oh Princess! already. And both stories are still under construction.
I'd like opinions on which I should work more on. They are both pretty interesting TO ME, and I would enjoy working on either. But I don't know... I'm loosing motivation lately and I can't decide entirely for myself right now... So vote in the POLL if you can.
And don't worry, I won't ever abandon either. Because abandoning stories is like throwing away a baby. Which is mean.

Now it's late so I'm off to bed.
Bonne nuit.

HEY EVERYBODY.
I'm so damn bored lately. Why have you all been so quiet on MSN... And why aren't a lot of the awesome people I watch updating their galleries lately!?
I feel like I'm the only person with tremendous amounts of free time. I'm irritated.
And so because of all the boredom, I don't feel motivated to uploading any of my newest works.
Yeaahh... And expect that hiatus to last longer on Oh Princess since I lost motivation to work on it as of the moment.
I get a lot of inspiration, motivation, ect. from talking/interacting with people. Also, looking at some of my DA Idol's works inspire me too. Especially if I see they are drawing a lot.

But lately everyone is boring. Why? My weekends are so dull. I rather go to school. At least I DO something there. Sheesh.

By the way I scrapped a lot of my gallery. SO yeah.

On a side note, I would like to say that Oh Princess! is under a hiatus because I made many changes lately to the plot. I don't like the old one very much at all now. Hurm. Well just to let anyone who cares know. That's all.

Well I want to the emergency hospital today. Was feeling very dizzy at school and so my mom took me there.
They did many tests on me and I got scared.
I had to undress and I was forced to have a urine sample and my heart scanned.
My head was also X-Rayed and they drew blood from me. I was given sodium-chloride water through a tube up my arm. It was very very painful.
I was also shivering very badly when I was there too. I just wanted to sleep but the doctors kept waking me up and I got irritated.

Some reason I was clean of any problems in the end. I was thinking I would have anemia. Well, I guess not. How disappointing, especially after all that trouble they went through.

Doctor said I just need to sleep more than 4-5 hours a night. Sure do, just never wanting to I guess. What teen wants to sleep at 9PM?
Anyway. I'm tired, maybe I will rest now.

So. Well. Well how should I start.
I was in a psychiatric hospital for 3 days.
Got discharged today after a meeting with my mom and dad.
I said I'm fine but I'm not really fine. I'm actually pretty fucked up still.
Well. Can't stay with

cause my dad wanted to meet her family and stuff. At least I get to visit her in the summer.
But whatever. I made friends in the hospital, which actually made me feel happy there. I had sort of a meaning when I was there and that was making the other kids happy.
Now that I'm alone and isolated in this shitty house. I have less meaning to myself again. Just... Whatever. This sucks.
School thought I was suicidal by the way. That's why I was there. Stupid school.
Things just keep getting worse.
Just want to fly away.
Don't want to be here anymore.
Fucking hate this. Hate my parents, school and the hospital.
Hospital just wants me on meds. And I don't NEED meds. I want to get away from all this. Don't want my mom or dad to have custody over me at all.
Oh and you know what? My mom cares about me... SORTA. She only cares about the little girl that WAS me. She isolates me more now after I got out of the hospital.

Things will get worse now. Just know it will, just like everything else. So.

EDIT: And thank you VERY much to

about warning me to pack valuables when I went to school on monday or not... That came VERY helpful when they THREW me into the hospital. Seriously. *thanks 1000s of times*

Whatever. This is not fabulous.

Well I've decided today WHAT I'm going to do now.
Living in this house with a mother that could care less if I died or not is certainly NOT the right place for me to live in.
Clearly unfit to be a good parent to me, I have decided that I no longer can live in this solitary life style of mine any longer.
I need the compassion and support of human contact in person, not just online as many of you have given me, but I need a loving family to physically be there for me in these depressing times.

So I HAVE decided to go to school today, and when I do, I will march STRAIGHT to the principle or other head school staff and tell them I need to get their support so I can get out of this house and live somewhere better for the meantime.
Since my mom and dad are assholes, they cut me off from the rest of my blood relatives to the point where I can no longer contact them by phone.
This is why I need the school's help to get this shit together, hopefully get a blood relative to take me in, or otherwise, another family to take me in.

has spoken to her mother about this and is willing to let me stay with her if no family member will take me in. I also know that a couple other friends were willing to take me in too, which is very nice of you all.
But I'm dead serious about all this and I am determined to get out of this house. Yeah, I'm only 15 and I have to learn to grow up fast, but no more, I can't deal with this ANYMORE.

Staying here with my mom has left me nothing but grief. I can't talk to anyone in person in this house, especially now that I know my mom thinks I'm a mentally ill bitch who is apparently ungrateful.

So now I'm gonna leave this note that if anything goes wrong I might not log on at all. Things need to be sorted out and I need to bring my parents to the decision that they are BOTH unfit to take care of me. Yeah, who the fuck cares if they buy me materialistic things. I barely ask for much anyway. And materialistic things are not the equivalence of parental love I SHOULD be receiving. Maybe until they just grow up and sort their own problems THEN I can forgive them for all the shit they put me through as well as my sister.

So wish me luck everyone, cause for fucking hell I'm going to do this shit. No more bottling up and no more sucking up to my parents. It's over. This time, I decide things for the better and believe me, this will be for the better.

Thank you for your support on my last journal, everyone.
I have decided not to kill myself but this is the least of my problems at the moment...
I decided to open up to my mom today about the sources of my depression... My school, my unrequited love... Everything.
However, it turned out terrible and now she thinks I'm mentally ill and doesn't care if I commit suicide or not. I'm worried.
Now I need a choice here, I want OUT of this house and I need a better living environment. I want to live with another family member, or something. I'm scared though and I refuse to go to school tomorrow... Just being in the car with her scares me.
I can't be here any more. If anything, um, if you are a family member of mine and you are reading this, then please try to help me!!! I'm suffering and I'm scared!!!
My mother wants to ruin my life! She wants me to drop out of school and get a job but I'm only 15 and I can't do that!
So if anyone, please, I'm so scared....

Hey all.
I've been under serious depression as most of you probably know.
I am worried about my mental conditions and if I can stay sane or not.
I am worried that I might commit suicide, so I would like to say some things.
I really do enjoy whoever is watching me right now or whoever is reading my story. I really do mean it. I love any form of appreciation for my work because to be honest, I'm not very proud of it.
I'm actually quite ashamed of my work and I never really like to let people know at school or even my family about what I draw and create.
In fact, something, no someone I created is one huge factor in my depression and it's been torturing me... I can barely go through a day without crying over them.
_{And if you are one of the people whom I've told you about this creation, please do not mention their name if you are going to respond to this journal...}
I would like to say that, if I do kill myself, that I love you all for trying to stick with me. I'm sorry I just really feel like life hates me at the moment... For so many things.
And so, I want to say good bye, an early one just in case.

Thanks you all.

It's 4:21 AM and I should have gone to sleep hours ago but I've fallen under some form of depression again.
I swear I'm trying to cheer up... Honest. It's just... Gotta go back to "The High School" on Monday and school = Stress on me and makes me irritable.
So thinking about it I guess makes me upset in general.
I don't want to deal with the pressure... I hate my peers and I have to waste precious hours of my life on tutoring for Geometry, a pathetically useless subject that schools use as a lie to discipline children and or teens into doing something they just don't want to do.
I swear... I'm even too advanced for school in general. And I've been told that by my academics counselor anyway....
Also, once school starts, I won't be updating Oh Princess! everyday like I am now... Just wanted to let you all know...
Goddamn though. I should see a doctor... Or something... This depression thing hurts. It's like, on and off. I'm tired of it. I need an escape or something... I just can't find it.
