                <description><![CDATA[ Keyboard sounds. Would you rather I ratatata'd you?<br /><br />I got my new tablet. <33<br /><br />*sigh* So v6 is here. It kind of cool, I will admit, but it'll take some getting used to - for me, at least. The change is too sudden. It's kinda sucky, very weird, and overall a pain in the ass. But then again, what isn't these days?<br /><br />Early College called. I made it into English Camp, which I think quaifies me as an even bigger nerd than I was before. It's next week. Orientation is the 4th/5th. I'm nervous, I'll admit, since I've been putting off my summer homework for ages and school starts on August 6th. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I know, I know. I'll do it this weekend while Rachel is away [it's her fault! She's distracting! DD:]. In the meantime, I'll continue to emo about leaving my group, but oh well. To quote a friend, "Tough luck, Jess. You screwed up baaaad." Ohwaitwrongquote. ;;<br /><br />Switching gears, friend drama has become an issue, and yesterday I was happy for the first time to be leaving the Trinity school system. Sure, RECHS will have drama - <i>everywhere</i> has drama - but hopefully not as much. Hopefully nowhere near as much. *sighs again* One last thing before I go, because I need to get this off my chest or I swear I'll scream into more poor, defenseless pillow:<br /><br />I'M SICK OF HEARING ABOUT RICKY.<br /><br />~Valen-san~<br /><br />P.S. Thanks for 5,000 hits! I'll try to pump something out for y'all as a reward, but I doubt it'll happen since I totally missed it, but whatever. Thank you all~!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am not amused. But deviantART apparently is. So it stays.<br /><br />I am not amused because my tablet is broken. *emos in corner* DD: If you know <i>anything</i> about Bamboo tablets, please let me know! I can't post pictures without it, guise. ;;<br /><br />On a happier note, I got invited to join Behance. <a href="http://www.behance.net/LosingValentine">[link]</a> So I guess I'm an official freelance writer. Which is pretty awesome. They said they saw my work here [ohsnapamIrite] and invited me. So...if you need one, you know where to find me.<br /><br />Thanks for over 5000 pageviews, guys! I lessthanthree all of you. With luck, I'll get my tablet fixed and post a fun dedication piece. Until then! *goes back to emoing*<br /><br />EDIT: P.S. NEW dA SUX GUISE.<br /><br />~Valen-san~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

If you don't...you lucky fucker.<br /><br />So here's basically how my week went: We take the EOC test for math. I pass. Michael "Michelob" Furr tells me that Ricky Lockhart likes me. Laura freaks out and encourages me. Michelob tells Ricky I like him [for some reason]. Ricky says to shut up about it or he'll hit him. Our team classes have a cookout. ~<a class="u" href="http://chrissymo.deviantart.com/">Chrissymo</a> and I get horribly sunburnt. I watch the world's best soccer game, in which Ricky, Michelob, and Sebastian all get hit in the balls at some point. Jackson acts gayer than normal. I go home and emo about Early College.<br /><br />Boys are weird.<br />I don't wanna leave my friends.<br /><br />....though there was an incredibly cute emo guy at orientation. ;3<br /><br />~Valen-san~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ That's how you paint a road.<br /><br />Valen dearest is back from Washington, D.C.! Whoo! I took a total of 102 pictures there. And walked off about ten freakin' pounds. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br /><br />ANYWAY, enough about my trip. I'm sure ya'll hate for all I've talked about it, so sorry. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /><br /><br />Mkay, on to real life. Miranda, if you read this, stop reading now. Or keep reading. But don't be freaked out. Or tell mama and daddy. Yeah... <.< >.><br /><br />My friend Daniel has recently announced that he is bisexual. I think this is super. I love Dan-Dan even more now for admiting it. He had a book at school last week called <i>Coping with your Sexual Orientation</i>. It had a scale in it, from one to six, of, effectively, how gay you are. Daniel is a four - a full bisexual. Bek is a 1 - straighter than straight. Cindy is a 2 - straight with infrequent but present homosexual thoughts/tendencies. I myself am tottering somewhere between a 3 - straight with frequent homosexual thoughts/tendencies - and a 4. It's a bit difficult for me to admit this because, despite being agnostic, I was raised in a family of a bunch of deeply religious Southern Baptists, i.e. OLD PEOPLE (except for my parents, thank the cosmos), and some of it rubbed off, I suppose. I'm still in that awkward teenage stage of "finding oneself", so nothing is definite, but I think I'm attracted to a girl.<br /><br />Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaah...but either way I swing, I'm not good enough for anyone. DX (I'm such a self-esteem killer.)<br /><br />On that note, I'm off to find showtimes for the <i>Iron Man</i> movie. Because I'm a Marvel fangirl. -snuggles comic collection- [EDIT: Dude, I totally wrote "DC" by accident! XD BWAHAHAHA! Good Lord, I'm an idiot sometimes. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />]<br /><br />Bye guys!

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm in an incredibly comfy chair, sitting in front of an air conditioner and beside a poster of the Presidents, ignoring my parent's being silly, in the wonderful city of Washington, D.C., about six hours from home.<br /><br />Life is good.<br /><br />So the ride up here was a literal pain in the ass, but it was pretty fun. It was just my parents and I, so it wasn't all crowded or anything. We made fun of people on the road (especially that guy that was grinning manaically while driving alone in what appeared to be his mother's station wagon). We talked and laughed. We ran out of things to say. We listened to iPods. XD<br /><br />We got to our hotel room yesterday at a little before noon. This is when the picture frenzy began. I took a picture of everything. (Most were deleted or not posted, obviously.) I took a picture of our hotel, the lobby, the bathroom, the McDonald's across the street - everything. I was so excited.<br /><br />We checked in and brought all our stuff up here. First thing I did was try to take advantage of the free WiFi. At first, I failed, but before I could fix my realized mistake, we left to see the sights.<br /><br />We walked forever and hit the Metro (subway) for the first time. IT WAS AWESOME (when I finally did ride it). My dad bought a WAY expensive farecard by accident, and <i>then</i> had to turn around and buy three of the <i>right</i> kind for about the same price. Because he's silly. XD And <i>then</i> we realized we didn't need them until later. "Well, we had to get them sometime," was daddy's explanation. XD<br /><br />So we walked far enough to gain back a day's worth of WeightWatcher points, and came upon the Library of Congress <a href="http://valen-san.deviantart.com/art/Biggest-Library-EVER-84558520">[link]</a> and it's freakin'....freaky, I guess, fountain (no pictures posted). Then we headed straight for the Capitol Building <a href="http://valen-san.deviantart.com/art/Captial-Hill-84557360">[link]</a> (and yes, I noticed I misspelled it in the title and Artist's Comments, but no, I'm not fixing it). We didn't get too close; just close enough to get a picture.  It was cool. 8D And THEN we saw the Supeme Court <a href="http://valen-san.deviantart.com/art/Equal-Justice-Under-Law-84558251">[link]</a> which looked way cool. :3<br /><br />We finally reached Union Station (which I have pictures of but didn't post due to massive lazy) while looking for the <i>proper</i> Metro station. Before leaving, we bought iron-on patches. Mine is NASA. x3<br /><br />Then we hit the Metro and headed for the National Zoo.<br /><br />OMG PANDAS. That's all I wanted to see. The walk was long, the weather was hot, my feet were screaming, "SIT THE FUCK DOWN, YOU WHORE! SERIOUSLY!", but I wanted to see the pandas no matter what. So we looked at the pandas. <a href="http://valen-san.deviantart.com/art/Eats-Shoots-and-Leaves-84556682">[link]</a> (The title of that deviation comes from a rather stupid but mildly amusing joke my sister told me. So yeah.) Not only did we get to see the pandas, one of them (the one in the picture) walked RIGHT UP TO THE GLASS!! -squee- It was so freaking adorable. We bought my sister some **can't tell ya in case she reads this <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />** and left. :3<br /><br />Then we went to Chinatown and had supper. It's an awesome area, but rather small. Oh well. I got a new purse there. It's gorgeous.<br /><br />Then we went back to the hotel and slept. I slept nicely, by the way.<br /><br />And I'll have to finish this later 'cause we're leaving again. WILL UPDATE TONIGHT. I PROMISE. -determined gleam-<br /><br /><b>EDIT:</b> Back now! We went back to Chinatown. But more on that later.<br /><br />So this morning I got up - unwillingly, I might add - and went out touristing again with the parentals. We were walking by some office buildings and saw this statue <a href="http://valen-san.deviantart.com/art/RamPegasusTrumpet-thing-XD-84646790">[link]</a> sooooooo...I took a photo of it. 8D<br /><br />We were headed toward the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum. Today (Saturday) is Space Day so it was a bunch of astronomy stuff. SQUEEEEE! They had astronauts there. We talked to astronaut Dan Barry for, like, ten minutes. He and Roger Crouch gave me signed photos of themselves. Mr. Crouch's says "Explore for Life". I love them. They're going on my wall, along with the info and picture of the James Webb Space Telescope. I'm such an astronerd. XD We spent, like, three-and-a-half hours there. 'Twas love. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> AND I got a picture I can use for my big school report (which is on Pluto; the pic is of the discoverer, Clyde Tombaugh)!<br /><br />After we left there - and by "left", I mean "dragged out kicking and screaming" (just kidding, teehee!) - we visite... ]]></description>

I'm taking the lappy with me since the hotel has internet, so I'll be able to post some pics. In other words, the title is a lie. D:<br /><br />For those of you not from America, this is a pretty big deal. D.C. is the nation's capital, and I've never been any further north than Virginia...so yeah.<br /><br />I get to do all sorts of awesome stuff there. We're planning on going to The Air and Space Museum (which I've always wanted to see), The Smithsonian Institution (biggest museum in America, I think), national monuments (duh), and lots of other awesome stuff. We've gotta leave the doggy behind though. D:<br /><br />While I'm gone, I may not answer any comments; I'll probably only be on long enough to post the pictures. But I'll try!<br /><br />Mkay, that's all, I guess. Later lovers! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /><br /><br />~Valen-san~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I think he thinks I still have <i>some</i> interest in him. But that's a lie. Sorry, Pete.<br /><br />ANYFREAKINWAY.<br /><br />I've been practicing my (sucky) tablet skills, seeing as I have no scanner at the moment (I'm going ask if we still have our old one...see if I can hook it up in here). So enjoy some crappy compy doodles for the time being. Hopefully, I should be able to write some more as well, since my desk and stuff is now in my room. Yes, location affects my writing skills. Bugger off.<br /><br />My interview for RECHS <a href="http://valen-san.deviantart.com/journal/17763541/">[link]</a> went really well and I find out whether I made it or not sometime next week. I'm all anxious! 8D<br /><br />1,148 pageviews 'til the big 5K, guys. Spread the word. (And yes, I still do requests.)<br /><br />~Valen-san~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

PROBLEM: He doesn't <i>care</i> that I exist. And now, my self-esteem-ruining rant:<br /><br />No, I'm not pretty. I sweat easily and am not athletic and am allergic to aluminum so I can't wear proper deodorants. I have to wear Man-odorant. I can't help it. I'm too damn smart, I'm a nerd, I wear baggy clothes and am loud and obnoxious when I wanna be. And yes, I DO, in fact, give damn what other people think, despite my claims to the contrary.<br /><br />Why can't life be like an movie? The leading lady always gets with the hero in a cute, romantic way.<br /><br />...<br /><br />So who's my hero?<br /><br />~Valen-san~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

She was right; it <i>is</i> quite accurate.<br /><br /><br /><b>Your Existing Situation</b><br />~Acts in an orderly, methodical, and self-contained manner. Needs the sympathetic understanding of someone who will give her recognition and approval.<br /><br /><br /><b>Your Stress Sources</b><br />~Sensitive and impressionable, prone to absorbing enthusiasms. Seeks an idealized--but so far unfulfilled--situation in which she can share with another a complete accord and mutual depth of understanding. Feels there is a risk of being exploited if she is too ready to trust others and therefore demands proof of their sincerity. Needs to know exactly where she stands in relationships.<br /><br /><b>Your Restrained Characteristics</b><br />~Circumstances are such that she feels forced to compromise for the time being if she is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.<br />~Feels that she is burdened with more than her fair share of problems. However, she sticks to her goals and tries to overcome her difficulties by being flexible and accommodating.<br />~Very exacting in the standards she applies to her choice of a partner and seeking a rather unrealistic perfection in her sex life.<br />~Willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity, but tries to avoid conflict.<br /><br /><b>Your Desired Objective</b><br />~Strives for a life rich in activity and experience, and for a close bond offering sexual and emotional fulfillment.<br /><br /><b>Your Actual Problem</b><br />~Wants to act freely and uninhibitedly, but is restrained by her need to have things on a rational, consistent, and clearly-defined basis.<br />~Fights against restriction or limitation, and insists on developing freely as a result of her own efforts.<br /><br /><br />It's so true. I feel...<i>stalked</i>. D: Try it: <a href="http://www.colorquiz.com/">[link]</a><br /><br />~Valen-san~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I spent both Sunday and Monday night with Kayla <a href="http://reihasilver.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/e/reihasilver.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconreihasilver:" title="reihasilver"/></a> and her dad still is crazy and weird but he's awesome and had cheesecake filling in his fridge so whatever. And we went to the zoo. Which was awesome. And now, title explanation:<br /><br />There was a guy at the zoo that Kayla thought was hot. I thought he looked like C. Thomas Howell as Ponboy in the movie <i>The Outsiders</i>. So we started calling him that. We saw him EVERYWHERE. And Kayla would freak out every time he was nearby. But we lost him in the African section. And then my water bottle fell in pee. But that's another story.<br /><br />I have now seen <i>Saiyuki: Requiem</i> approximately 76 times. No exaggeration. Seriously. I've seen <i>Yu Yu Hakusho: Bonds of Fire</i> (second movie; the one that's, y'know, longer than an episode) well over one hundred. 'Cause I can't go through the trouble of putting it in to just watch it once.<br /><br />And now for something completely different.<br /><br />I stole this for Sakkashinn. I'm sure she doesn't mind.<br /><br />Storm Hawks~! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><b>1.

                <description><![CDATA[ Or something like that.<br /><br />~<a class="u" href="http://heavenboundcomics.deviantart.com/">HeavenBoundComics</a> is officially up and running! The comic quality is not excellent (the art is great but, Rach, it look squished! D: ) but it's just starting up. Give us time. We're working on a neato personalized icon, but for now there isn't one, so yeah. But hey whatever. We update every Tuesday! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />EDIT: Icon is finished! <a href="http://heavenboundcomics.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/e/heavenboundcomics.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconheavenboundcomics:" title="heavenboundcomics"/></a><br /><br />And on that note, happy Naked Tuesday! :3<br /><br />So I'm checking my deviantART out and I realize that I'm a little less than 200 pageviews away from my goal FOR THE YEAR. I just wanted 3K by the end of '08. Damn! Thanks guys!<br /><br />Mkay, so you guys read the "Mr. Husband" entry, right? No? HERE: <a href="http://valen-san.deviantart.com/journal/16617779/">[link]</a><br />NOW FOR THOSE WHO DID: You remember me talking about said "Mr. Husband" and al of his awesome. Well, that wasn't Peter. Mr. Husband is really a guy named Alec, whom I've liked since Honors Band (yes, "Honors Band", because we're all band geeks, stfu) last year, which was before I even met Peter. That was back when Peter went to HPCA.<br /><br />PROBLEM #1: I like Alec more than Peter.<br />PROBLEM #2: Peter doesn't know (and doesn't need to, thanks, Rach).<br />PROBLEM #3: Alec has no idea that I exist. And now goes to a different school. And I probably won't go there next year, as I'm aiming for RECHS (the early college program).<br />NOT PROBLEM: Bek is in marching band with Alec and so I can go to games and stuff to see her and sneak a peek at him.<br />PROBLEM #4: If I make it into RECHS, I'l probably end up breaking up with Peter (which, again, he doesn't need to know, Rach).<br /><br />So yeah. Advice? Suggestions? I've been thinking to much lately.<br /><br />~Valen-san~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

So we missed the first few minutes of the movie. Oh well. My parents wanted to see the movie too, and stayed as parental supervision (because I'm "too young" :-P). The movie was good, and we talked a little afterward, and my dad was nice enough not to embarrass me. All in all, not to bad. :3<br /><br />Also, that was the fanciest damn theater I've ever been in. Seriously. The seats had headrests. Headrests, I tell you!<br /><br />We saw "Jumper", btw. Not half bad.

                <description><![CDATA[ There should be.<br /><br />The singing competition's auditions started tonight. They end in half an hour. Where am I? Sitting at home at my computer working on a Storm Hawks fanfic because my mother decided she'd rather sit around and watch a stupid movie on the spur of the moment than drive her youngest daughter to the mall so she could audition like she'd talked about ALL WEEK LONG.<br /><br />It's not that I don't love writing Storm Hawks fanfiction, but honestly. I know where I'd rather be.<br /><br />~Valen-san~<br /><br />EDIT 03.Feb.08: So we drove a long way, paid ten bucks, and I tried out. I didn't make it. *emos in corner*<br /><br />On the bright side, we swung by Target on our way back and I snagged a Finn action figure! I'll post pictures later. Maybe.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have a lot of things I wanna say here and not much time to do it, so let's jump right in, shall we?<br /><br />Not like anyone reads this anyway.<br /><br />Alright, first, the QUOTE OF THE ENTRY!! Rachel (~<a class="u" href="http://juniperbonsai.deviantart.com/">JuniperBonsai</a>, aka the coolest person on the planet) FINALLY visited her freakin' account and went through and looked at al the shit I had posted. So today, during health class, we got onto the subject of "Four Years Later". This conversation ensues:<br /><br />Rach: I read that "Four Years Later" thing you posted.<br />Me: About damn time.<br />Rach: <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Yeah, I know. You like torturing Finn, don't you?<br />Me: No. Well, maybe. That isn't the first time I've tortured my favorite character in a fanfiction. Okay, maybe I do enjoy character torturing a bit.<br />Rach: Yeah, but Dark Ace and Finn and buttsex?!<br />Me: Hey, no one said it was buttsex. For all we know, Dark Ace had Finn over his knee, was smacking his ass repeatedly with his belt while yelling, "Who's your Talon? WHO'S YOUR TALON?!"<br />Rach: O.o<br /><br />...don't ask. Please. Also:<br /><br />Me: I just thought of something!<br />Rach: What?<br />Me: Piper can't have babies!<br />Rach: <i>What?!</i><br />Me: Well, not with Stork, anyway.<br />Rach: Why not?<br />Me: Interspecies erotica does NOT produce babies.<br /><br />It's true!<br /><br />And now for something completely different.<br /><br />They say people are likes socks: each has it's own perfect match. I always thought mine had gotten lost in the dryer. Until about a year ago.<br /><br />So as to not give his name away, I shall take a page from Bekah's book and refer to him as Mr. Husband.<br /><br />I first saw Mr. Husband at an Honor's Band (that sounds so nerdy) practice last year. He had no idea I existed, but he also had no idea that everyday I was literally <i>inches</i> behind him and repeatedly resisted the urge to reach out and brush his head with my fingers. Today, I spent most of my afternoon at a drumline workshop for marching band. Guess who walked in?<br /><br />Hoo yeah.<br /><br />Not only did I get to see Mr. Husband, I TALKED TO HIM. For the first time IN A WHOLE YEAR. I did it, Miranda!!<br /><br />And then Bekah and Kayde took the mickey out of me until he left. But I was elated (and still am) and don't really care.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />Well, g'night guys! I gotta rest up for tomorrow. (I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night; I'm beat!)<br /><br />~Valen-san~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This song is just scribbles,<br />
Dregs and dribbles<br />
Of what could be written<br />
If I would just write.<br />
But struck with impatience<br />
And crappy restatements,<br />
I type it out quickly<br />
And be done before night.<br />
For noonday is cunning,<br />
Sending children running,<br />
Keeping them going<br />
Long through the night.<br />
And neighbors are yelling<br />
For kids that are failing<br />
To see the dark truth<br />
And come out of the light.<br />
<br />
So we fall.<br />
We fall.<br />
And we fall.<br />
We don't stop until the sun rises.<br />
Then we fall to shadows.<br />
More shadows.<br />
More falling.<br />
It's appalling.<br />
<br />
We sit and we listen<br />
With odd premonitions.<br />
It's a scary song to hear,<br />
While ending with a cry.<br />
And I wish on a star<br />
You'll get struck by a car.<br />
I dunno if it'll work<br />
But it can't hurt to try.<br />
Right?<br />
<br />
Fall.<br />
Farther.<br />
Deeper.<br />
The Darkness's Keeper<br />
Said we would make it.<br />
Personal guarantee.<br />
Grab my hand and see.<br />
We can do this.<br />
We will succeed.<br />
As your hand touches mine<br />
We breathe...<br />
<br />
It's appalling.<br />
It's appalling.<br />
We're falling.<br />
We're falling.<br />
<br />
This song is just scribbles,<br />
Dregs and dribbles.<br />
And it's appalling.<br />
It's appalling.<br />
<br />
Isn't it, though?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Last update for the year...obviously. I won't be updating my pictures, however, until I get 2000 pageviews (13 more, guys!), but it'll be a big update, 'cause I've got a lot of stuff I wanna put up. That, and I wanna show off my new Pigma Microns. Those things rock!<br />
<br />
I'm going to a New Years party tonight later at Rebekah's place (no alcohol 'cause we're minors, but I can't promise no mixed carbonated beverages ;D) and I'm looking forward to it. Her dad's met Jamie McMurray. JAMIE. McMURRAY. Hell yeah.<br />
<br />
I've got some chores to finish (I'm not really supposed to be on the computer right now <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />), but one quick resolution before I go:<br />
<br />
I resolve to take charge of myself and my life, by which I mean I will stop giving a shit and do what I should've been doing anyway. And yes, Miranda, this also means I will actually try to at least talk to Alec instead of hiding in the shadows like I have been for the past year and a half.<br />
<br />
'CAUSE I'M SHY.<br />
<br />
Um...happy 2008.<br />
<br />
~Valen-san~<br />
<br />
<br />
...*hides*<br />
<br />
EDIT: I'm updating on January 5th with approximately ten or more pictures.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So my laptop is toast. Not the good kind of toast, either. Bad toast. My dad decided to upgrade my OS from Edgy Eft to Feisty Fawn (Ubuntu 6.10 [?] to 7.04) and now I can't even log in to get my desktop. EVERYTHING IS GONE. *cries* So now I've got an account on my mom's comp, going from Linux Ubuntu to Windows Vista.<br />
<br />
*ahem* Vista SUCKS.<br />
<br />
How I laughed at others' complaints, feeling safe and secure with my laptop in my little Linux world. But now...now I am one of them. I want Linux. *more crying*<br />
<br />
And now for something completely different.<br />
<br />
It's almost Christmas! Miranda and Sam are coming up from Raleigh today and my room is nowhere <i>close</i> to being clean. Ah well. They'll survive.<br />
<br />
And now my dad's going insane....I think. xD<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a better week than I have and a happy Chrismahanukwanzaka to all ya'll!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Miranda's nagging me to update this, so I might as well.<br />
<br />
I've been sick these past few days. Brandie thinks I have strep throat; my mom begs to differ, claiming sinus congestion. I'm going with the congestion. The coughing is killing me, though. Every time I cough, it feel like my lungs are made of sandpaper and scraping against <i>everything</i>. Not cool.<br />
<br />
Rebekah gave me my early Christmas present today. It's a bracelet. It's really cool; it has blue and orange beads and says "outsiders". 'Cause that's what we are.<br />
<br />
I got back from the Fox 8 holiday concert thing a few hours ago. It was pretty good. The girl who did "I'd like a hippopotamus for Christmas" wasn't as good as I'd hoped. But other than that, it was alright. Just annoying warm. Ugh~.<br />
<br />
See Miranda? Told you my life was boring.<br />
<br />
Oh, and I GOT YOUR PRESENT~! And you'll like it. ^.~<br />
<br />
I got Landon's gift, too. It's awesome.<br />

<br />
GUESS WHO'S COMING BACK HOME IN JANUARY!!!<br />
Kody freakin' Stapleton, that's who.<br />
Hell. Yes.<br />
<br />
It's almost Chrismahanukwanzaka~! lolz<br />
I'm gonna start my annual BSB Holiday ditty on December first. Ya'll know last year's was my "BSB Night Before Christmas" (which, by the way, is the featured deviation at <a href="http://bsbclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/s/bsbclub.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconbsbclub:" title="bsbclub"/></a> now), so this year it's gonna be a picture. Yay!<br />
<br />
PercyOliver is my new Harry Potter OTP. Seriously. One of the few non-canon yaoi pairings I support. =3<br />
<br />
I started playing World of Warcraft on the 22nd. SHUTUPITWASFUN. What the hell? No, but seriously, I killed so many of those freakin' Wretched Urchin bitches it's not even funny. Well, actually, it was. I'm a level nine now (stfu, I only played, like, seven or eight hours). I'm a Blood Elf rogue. Come visit me on the Azuremyst server! (I'm also on the Velen server as a level three Human paladin, but I don't play that as often.)<br />
<br />
HAPPY CHRISMAHANUKWANZAKA TO YOU~!<br />

So I updated with 13 pics over yesterday and this morning (upon which I do not have school). I need to start making and posting random icons. I don't mean to brag, but I'm getting pretty good. I made my current one yesterday. Like it? 8D NO STEALZ.<br />

On a completely different tune, guess whose birthday is tomorrow?! My brother's! He'll be 22. My birthday is on Thursday. NOVEMBERFIRSTOMGYAY~! First person to wish me a happy birthday on the first get a hug. The others just get "thank you"s. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />

<br />
I'M IN THE '90s SUCKAS.<br />
<br />
So I updated my gallery with, like, ten pictures today. Fun times, fun times. Lots of the pictures are old, some by a few years. A lot of my older art sucks, so there's no need to tell me so.<br />
<br />
There's also no need to use stupid one-word comments like "ugly" or something. YEAH, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! I fucking HATE that. If you're gonna tell me how my art sucks, also tell me how I can improve. Seriously, you dorky flamers, piss off.<br />
<br />
Mkay, done ranting.<br />
<br />
OHOHGUESSWHAT!! I passed 100 deviations! Big thanks to my twelve watchers. You guys rock!<br />
<br />
And I found some nifty tutorials for digital coloring so I'm gonna try workin' on that. I just hope it works out okay. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />

OH AND GUESS WHAT I GOT A VIDEO iPOD IT'S GOT ALL SORTS OF SONGS AND YUUUUUUUUUUUUYUUUUUUUUUUHAKUSHOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO!! All 112 episodes literally in the palm of my hand. It's like...swimming in liquid cake...?<br />
<br />
After this, I'm gonna only update my journal on days I update my gallery, so the next update will either be later tonight or tomorrow. And yes, there will be YYH pictures. Yay. =3<br />
<br />
On a side note, have you ever looked at a full moon and thought about Lupin? Yeah, me too. Every time. I still deny his, Fred's, and Tonk's deaths. I'M TELLING YOU THEY NEVER FREAKIN' HAPPENED.<br />

<br />
Mkay, so pulling away from the insignificant happenings of my first two days of class, I'd like to throw in a rant, a compy question, and a little story. So here goes.<br />

RANT.<br />
Why are the buses so damned crowded? I ride a bus to and from school. In the mornings, it's not so bad but in the afternoon, omfg. WAY too many people. Like, 12 out of 22 seats were three-to-a-seat because the high schoolers, the lucky bastards, aren't allowed to seat three-to-a-seat and can move middle schoolers as they see fit. I am a big girl (well, not <i>really</i> big but big enough). I can't fit my big ass in a seat with more than one other person comfortably, especially not if another big person is involved. GET SOME MORE BUSES, FUCKING SCHOOL SYSTEM.<br />
<br />
COMPY QUESTION.<br />
Every time I turn on my laptop, a high pitched whistling which only goes away if I put pressure on the bottom right hand corner of the keyboard for an extended period of time. Does anyone know what could cause this and how to fix it?<br />
<br />
LITTLE STORY.<br />
Mkay, about a year, maybe a year and a half ago, this guy I lived near named TJ introduced me to his super hot older friend named Jason. But he lived far away and had to leave, like, that day. So no getting to know him. Guess who I saw who <i>recognized me</i> on the bus today?! You guessed it. He freakin' recognized me. And smiled. And is still really hot. *dies* 8D<br />
<br />
Mkay, I gotta go to bed. Night ya'll!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I should've updated yesterday, but I didn't, so here ya go.<br />
<br />
Mkay, so on Saturday, I went with my grandma to Dan Nicholas Park for a picnic for her church and got hounded with questions like, "Why haven't you been at church?", "When are you coming back?", "Will you sing for us when you do?", etc. There's a reason I don't go: I don't like that church. I gotta admit, though, I had fun. Mamaw and I swung on the swings, rode the carousel, and rode the paddle-boats. It was fun! My uncle Bobby cooked lunch for everyone. He makes good burgers.<br />
<br />
Then I met up with Krista, <a href="http://chrissymo.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/chrissymo.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconchrissymo:" title="chrissymo"/></a>, at a party and we hung out for a bit. It was fun, but the cake was fugly as hell (it was a Jimmie Johnson cake). Then we went to Krista's house and did....stuff. My memory's foggy on the details. All I remember clearly is Saiyuki Reload, Solid Snake, and frozen waffles with frozen green tea on a stick. Well, actually, a fork. Don't ask, Krista made them. xD They were yummy though.<br />
<br />
And then we watched Dirty Jobs. What the hell, man. Krista is, like, in love with Mike Rowe. And it didn't help that he was shirtless on a guy on an alligator either. xD I fell asleep a short time later. I woke up to one of the several cats (this one was named Smelly Cat) asleep at my feet. AWW! Those cats were so freakin' cute. Tiger Woods attacked me! It hurt. Damn cat. Wander looks like he has a goatee. =3<br />
<br />
Anywho, after I woke, I got dressed, realized I lost both my hairbow and Gryffindor bracelet during the night (Kris, I don't care about the hairbow, but I'd really like the bracelet back if you find it), had ChocoNilla Rice Krispies for breakfast (delicious), and then watched some TV with Krista. This is when we discovered <i>Johnny and the Sprites</i>.<br />
<br />
No, Johnny and the Sprites is not some sort of weirdo rock band. It's a kids' show on Playhouse Disney. It's really cool. Go look it up on Wikipedia. Seriously.<br />
<br />
Then at about three in the afternoon, my mom called wondering where I was. She was kind of expecting me home at noon. So then Krista's awesomer than awesome mom drove me home. And we passed Sebastian's house, which pleased Krista greatly. xD<br />
<br />
Oh, and go visit <a href="http://juniperbonsai.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/u/juniperbonsai.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconjuniperbonsai:" title="juniperbonsai"/></a>. That's my bff Rachel, kiddos!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes, Fluffy tagged me. So here we go.<br />
~~<br />
<br />
The Rules of this Tagging Game:<br />
<br />
The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/facts/dislikes about yourself" and people who get tagged must write in their journals about their 6 weird habits/facts/dislikes as well as state this rule clearly.<br />
<br />
In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you're tagged" in their deviant page comments and tell them to read yours.<br />
<br />
1.) Yes, I do still listen to the Backstreet Boys.<br />
<br />
2.) I'm in love. With several different people/things.<br />
<br />
3.) I'm obsessive. Though I'm betting that was obvious. x3<br />
<br />
4.) The first thing I did when I opened my copy of <i>Twilight Princess</i> was sniff the instruction booklet. Why? I've no idea.<br />
<br />
5.) My favorite colors are sky blue and bright orange (my brother finds this weird, which is why it's here, but I do not).<br />
<br />
6.) I think Striker on Love Line sounds hot.<br />
<br />
I'm only gonna tag <a href="http://chrissymo.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/chrissymo.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconchrissymo:" title="chrissymo"/></a> just to piss her off. And 'cause I don't know who else to tag. I'm so unpopular. xD<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ It's kind of weird, listening to BSB's self-titled album and knowing that Kevin won't be on the new one. I mean, his voice sticks out, y'know? Not to mention he plays a big part on I'll Never Break Your Heart (which is what I'm listening to now) and Darling. I'M  GONNA MISS YOU, KEVIN! *cries*<br />
<br />
Mkay, moving on.<br />
<br />
My mom is the coolest. Person. EVER. For real. She helped me buy Twilight Princess. I even got to buy a skin for the Wii with it! It arrived today, but we can't get it until tomorrow due to confirmation needs or some shit. But hey, who cares? I get Twilight Princess! YAY!! *fangirl squeal*<br />
<br />
News!<br />
<br />
I'm working on a new story that, oddly enough, is NOT a fanfic, a fantasy, or a sci-fi. It's a realistic romantic drama/comedy (or "dromedy", if you will). I don't want to give too much away here, so I won't, but I hope to post it not only here, but on Anime Spiral and FanFiction.Net as well. I'm hoping the idea is at least <i>kind of</i> original, seeing as it's not your typical "Boy meets Girl. Boy falls in love with Girl. Girl falls in love with Boy. Trouble keeps Boy and Girl apart. Boy and Girl reunite in the end." kind of romantic dromedy. I hope y'all enjoy it once it's posted. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Well, I guess that's it. Toodle-oo!<br />

<br />
omgthatgameisuberfun<br />
<br />
With the combined efforts of Landon and myself ("combined efforts" meaning "letting Landon take over whenever I got tired of his damn backseat gaming"), we got to Kakariko. Well, the shadow guys at Kakariko, anyway. Couldn't get 'em all close enough to kill 'em all in one, though I figured out a solution to that problem on the way home from returning it yesterday. Rah, too late.<br />
<br />
On my other account that I'm playing alone (the one where Link and Epona aren't renamed Valen and Molly, lol), I'm in the Forest Temple (I only played it for a few hours yesterday before we returned it).<br />
<br />

<br />
Mkay, so I finished <i>Deathly Hallows</i> the day I got it. I feel strangely empty and incomplete still. Hm. Maybe because there are still two movies left? Maybe because the epilogue ended in an extremely non-emotionally satisfying way? Maybe because the epilogue only contained Ginny and Ron and those are my two least favorite Weasleys? Yes. Yes. Definitely.<br />
<br />
Not that I didn't like the book. No, quite the contrary. I thoroughly enjoyed the final installment of the Harry Potter series. It was engrossing and incredibly entertaining, though it severely lacked the Weasley twins there in the middle. If you can't tell by now, they're my favorite. x3<br />
<br />
On that note...*ahem*...FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!! *cries*<br />
<br />
Sorry. Had to.<br />
<br />
Oh, and a quick shout-out to the sister. Hey Miranda!!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Mkay, so I had it all planned out. I worked my ass off to get all my chores finished yesterday so I could stay up all night and crash today. Why, you ask? So I'd be wide awake for the <i>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows</i> midnight release, of course!<br />
<br />
But I'll be damned if I didn't crash at 3 IN THE FUCKING MORNING.<br />
<br />
It wouldn't be so bad, but I was trying my hardest all night, and then thought "I'll just rest my eyes." YEAH RIGHT. It's just so damn irritating, as evidenced by my mood emoticon.<br />
<br />
The only semi-good think about it is that I woke at about 8, so I only got 5 hours, and should be able to crash at around noon, maybe a little later.<br />
<br />
By the way, for all my NC peeps, look for me and the tall geekshow (aka my brother) at Waldenbooks at Four Seasons. Let's just pray I stay awake.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the Potter parties, and use designated flyers if the need arises.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So I just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with my dad and I must say, I'm impressed. Slight spoilers here, kiddos.<br />
<br />
The good: The special effects were stellar, along with the background music. I'm a sucker for background music. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> They redid the dementor design a bit from Prisoner of Azkaban, but the new design looks nice. A lot of stuff is changed/left out from the book, but that's to be expected since the book is uber amounts of LONG(er than it needs to be). Fred and George's exit was spectacular, which is to be expected from the Great Weasley Twins, and I absolutely LOVE how the fireworks were done. They made a big "W"! ^^ The final battle was also amazingly well done, though their depiction of the Department of Mysteries didn't totally match up with my mental image, but I like it. Especially the hall of prophecies. Very well done.<br />
<br />
The bad: Dolores Umbridge. I hate that woman. I HATE HER. My mental image of Umbridge was twice as fat and twice as squeakily voiced with four times as much make-up. Also, the scene where Umbridge discovered "Dumbledore's Army" was changed from the book, for the worse in my opinion. There was also no Quidditch in the movie. That means my favorite part (where George and Harry knock Draco's lights out) was not in it. *crycry*<br />
<br />
The ugly: Argus Filch. lol<br />
<br />
Overall, I enjoyed it. I give it a 4 out of 5.<br />
<br />

<br />
He totally edged past Kyle Busch just a few meters from the finish line to win his first race since October 2002, 166 races ago. And I wasn't even wearing my JM shirt!<br />
<br />
Nah, but seriously. I'm proud of him. I was lying in the floor, flailing around those last couple laps. I just wish I could've seen it in person.<br />
<br />
But I don't live anywhere near Daytona.<br />

<br />
Like the fact that Jamie McMurray doesn't even race Busch Series any more. *pouts* I was SO looking forward to watching him race in person. However, almost as if he's making up for his lack of BSness, he has been doing exceptionally well in Nextel Cup after the introduction of the Car of Tomorrow, or, rather, the Car of Today. I am very pleased. ^^<br />
<br />
I got a McMurray T-Shirt too! XD I love it. It's so freakin' cool. I'm so wearing it Monday. =3<br />
<br />
Our scanner is hopefully gonna be hooked back up so my deviation count will be soaring; I've drawn so much in my lately! I even started a new sketchbook and am halfway through it in a matter of two weeks. Wow.<br />
<br />
Well, that's all for now. Bye!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ That has nothing to do with my topic for today, lol.<br />
<br />
First off, I would like to state that the laptop is totally mine. MINE. Whoo! I am uber excited to break this baby in! Actually, I am right now. Yay! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br />
<br />
Secondly, I would like to state that I am the world's biggest nerd, and a thief. I took a book from my substitute health room (we use actual classrooms, and the one we usually use was in use for a field trip) and I don't even have that teacher. All in the name of a book about Episode 1.<br />
<br />
...<i><b>freakin'</b></i> Star Wars...<br />
<br />
Speaking of SW, Fanart 100 is coming along tremendously, with "Lovers" and "Rain" added to the list. I think "Rain" is my favorite so far, though the coloring is horrible (I got some pastel chalk pencils and was testing them out).<br />
<br />
Draco in a dress will be, unfortunately, postponed until the scanner can be hooked back up. I wish my dad would make up his mind. Roar.<br />
<br />
Saturday! I will be in Bristol, Tennessee watching the NASCAR Busch Series race! Whoo! Are you going too? Let me know! I'll be the hyperactive brunette rooting for Jamie McMurray while her parents root for Dale Jr., lol.<br />
<br />
Adios amigos!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ At least, that's what everyone tells me.<br />
<br />
....<i>freakin'</i> Star Wars....<br />
<br />
Fanart 100 is coming along nicely, with 3 out of 100 pictures finished (School, Teammates, and Blue). In Teammates, I have Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon standing side-by-side (sort of) and everyone claims that my Qui-Gon looks like Jesus. I don't think so, but whatever.<br />
<br />
SADNESS. The NC State Wolfpack placed second in the ACC tourney, losing to the Carolina Tarheels, 89-80. I like the Heels too, and I'm happy that they won, but I'm still sad. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Oh well. At least a North Carolina team won and not, like, Virginia or Florida (no offense to anyone from Virginia or Florida).<br />
<br />
Draco in a maid's dress seems most popular among my peeps here close to home, so he shall make his appearance soon (my dad hooked the scanner up to his computer so I have to try and get him to hook it back to ours to avoid several steps in the scanning process). Thanks again for 1,000 pageviews!<br />
<br />
I wolf you! ^^<br />
