Despite the fact that I'm sick (stuffy nose, hoarse throat, and a bit of a light head), I was actually very energetic tonight. I believe it's because the Halloween spirit is infused within me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Yesterday, at school, I dressed as my evil twin. So, I wore a pink tank top, a super-short blue skirt, a pink bandana, and sparkly lipstick. I tried going around speaking in a high-pitched, ditzy, obnoxious voice, but I got bored of being a fake. So, when I went trick-or-treating, I dressed up as myself. It's more fun to be me, anyway. Also, I liked it when I got to tell people I was going as myself when they asked me what I was for Halloween.<br /><br />Here are a few pics from yesterday, and from my trick-or-treating adventure from tonight! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/kysentha/?action=view&current=halloween009.jpg"><img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/kysentha/halloween009.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br />YES, I am in pink.

But I LOVE Disneyland's Halloween website! Unfortunately, it's only temporary, but I love how they designed atmosphere of the Disneyland castle to take on a gothic persona--now THAT'S my dream castle (not that there's anything wrong with the classic Disney Castle look, of course <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />).<br /><br />This is my favorite time of the year--the crisp, melancholy atmosphere of autumn as the days get shorter and the leaves turn into dazzling hues of red. Not to mention all the stores are now selling Halloween merchandise--I went into Claires (YEAH, girly store! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/blush2.gif" width="15" height="16" alt=":blush:" title="Blush" />) and they had a Halloween special. I bought a bat necklace, these crossbones knee-high socks, beautiful bat earrings, and a sparkly purple bat headband. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> I still need to decide what to dress up as for Halloween.<br /><br />GOTHOLOGY UPDATE: Just the cover page left to go! I'll upload that on here when it's completed. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><div class="credit"><div class="subcred"> Journal Design by =<a class="u" href="http://druidwu.deviantart.com/">DruidWu</a></div><br /><b>PS Brushes:</b> ~<a class="u" href="http://wyckedbrush.deviantart.com/">wyckedBrush</a> ~<a class="u" href="http://darkresources.deviantart.com/">Darkresources</a> ~<a class="u" href="http://shad0w-gfx.deviantart.com/">Shad0w-GFX</a></div><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=2725208"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/2725208.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br /><br /><br />SEPTEMBER FEATURES<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Gothicmama.deviantart.com/art/My-heart-is-open-135472989"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs27/150/i/2009/243/f/2/My_Heart_is_empty_by_Gothicmama.jpg" width="124" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://mistress-morgana.deviantart.com/art/customer-photo-me-120536509"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs44/150/f/2009/116/8/e/customer_photo___me_by_mistress_morgana.jpg" width="117" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://atrotter719.deviantart.com/art/Halloween-Wedding-122240663"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs43/150/i/2009/131/9/3/Halloween_Wedding_by_atrotter719.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://kreativlink.deviantart.com/art/Natural-Magic-130620613"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.net/fs47/150/i/2009/204/f/b/Natural_Magic_by_kreativlink.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Valerian.deviantart.com/art/Red-Brocade-Corset-8026881"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.net/images3/150/i/2004/165/0/0/Brocade_Corset.jpg" width="150" height="99" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://njadean.deviantart.com/art/Chinese-Empress-29732896"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs... ]]></description>

So now it's <i>Nocturne Waltz</i>.<br /><br />As for the comic that it's set to...I spent the a huge chunk of time over the weekend getting some of the pages done. Also, since I barely had any homework today, when I got back home from school, I set to finish another page. Whew! There are 13 pages in total (not including cover page and 2 bonus pages). I finished 7 so far, so 5 more to go! Then I have to do the cover and the bonus pages. I'm plagued by schoolwork and the fact that PSAT is in 6 weeks! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/noes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":noes:" title="Noes!" /><br /><br />Anyway...I'll upload finished sample pages as soon as I can! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><div class="credit"><div class="subcred"> Journal Design by =<a class="u" href="http://druidwu.deviantart.com/">DruidWu</a></div><br /><b>PS Brushes:</b> ~<a class="u" href="http://wyckedbrush.deviantart.com/">wyckedBrush</a> ~<a class="u" href="http://darkresources.deviantart.com/">Darkresources</a> ~<a class="u" href="http://shad0w-gfx.deviantart.com/">Shad0w-GFX</a></div><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=2725208"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/2725208.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br /><br /><br />SEPTEMBER FEATURES<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Gothicmama.deviantart.com/art/My-Heart-is-empty-135472989"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs27/150/i/2009/243/f/2/My_Heart_is_empty_by_Gothicmama.jpg" width="124" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://mistress-morgana.deviantart.com/art/customer-photo-me-120536509"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs44/150/f/2009/116/8/e/customer_photo___me_by_mistress_morgana.jpg" width="117" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://atrotter719.deviantart.com/art/Halloween-Wedding-122240663"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs43/150/i/2009/131/9/3/Halloween_Wedding_by_atrotter719.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://kreativlink.deviantart.com/art/Natural-Magic-130620613"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.net/fs47/150/i/2009/204/f/b/Natural_Magic_by_kreativlink.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Valerian.deviantart.com/art/Red-Brocade-Corset-8026881"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.net/images3/150/i/2004/165/0/0/Brocade_Corset.jpg" width="150" height="99" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://njadean.deviantart.com/art/Chinese-Empress-29732896"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs9/150/i/2006/059/e/b/Chinese_Empress_by_njadean.jpg" width="150" height="108" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://The-Lady-of-Kuo.deviantart.com/art/Chinese-take-out-nails-128933211"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.net/fs48/150/f/2009/190/0/6/Chinese_take_out_nails_by_The_Lady_of_Kuo.jpg" width="150" height="112" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://karemelancholia.deviantart.com/art/Baroque-Sangre-129640897"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.net/fs46/150/i/2009/196/7/1/Baroque_Sangre_by_karemelancholia.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://il-bello.deviantart.com/art/sharing-a-moment-117427251"><img src="htt... ]]></description>

By the way, to the people who selected, "HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE MY BELOVED JAPAN??????", well, I've got news for you:<br /><br /><b>You are no better than the Holocaust deniers.</b><br /><br />Shame on you. If you <i>love</i> Japan so much, go do some history research.<br /><br />Last week, I was watching World War II propaganda that Disney produced back during the war, when the government hired Disney to do so. I watched two clips that featured Donald Duck. I thought they were so funny! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Even though they're irrelevant to today, they were very entertaining. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><i>Der Fuehrer's Face</i><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YroTk6Vobww&feature">[link]</a><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />layList&amp<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />AB4DF474F737EDB<br />It features Hirohito, GÃ¶ring, Goebbels, Mussolini, and (of course), Donald Duck. Donald is in Nazi-dominated Germany and is forced to labor in a factory, screwing artillery shells and heiling every picture of Hitler that comes his way until he goes insane and has a nervous breakdown. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br /><i>Commando Duck</i><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H81Nna8fo5g&feature">[link]</a><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />layList&amp<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />AB4DF474F737EDB<br />Donald is sent to contact the Japanese enemy in South-East Asia, and destroys the imperial Japanese airbase singlehandedly. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />OH, and speaking of Disney, I saw the official <i>Princess and the Frog</i> trailer! <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmlZhrmMAhc&feature">[link]</a><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />layList&amp<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />=C6277F08FBC32329 GOSH, it looks so beautiful!

My Gothology submission is going well. I'm doing all the lineart first, and then I'm going back to add more details and shadings. I'm working on page 11 now. I'm so excited to get it finished! I really hope that, with school starting, my progress will not be impeded.

I really do not like my teacher; she hates me and my friends. She has this thing against realistic paintings, and she forced me to paint on this GIANT cardboard that is ten times wider than I am, which took more than 2 hours to gesso. Plus, it was such a waste of paint. The f-word was repeating in my head as I was curmudgeonly slapping paint onto it for still life. For critique today, I hung up all the works I put a lot of detail and effort into, and she made me take out my giant still life. It stole all the attention, and the elderly people of my class were just GUSHING over it, going, "Oh, it's so whimsical and gestural and full of life and expression!" And then my good works get no attention. I was so mad (on the inside, at least. I did rant to my friends in Mandarin. It's so convenient to know a language not many other people know, because then they have no idea what you're saying! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />), because the crappy work stole all the attention. My friends did symphathize with me; my good paintings were the ones I sat with for several sessions and paid attention to so much color and detail. Even my family thought that the giant waste of cardboard and paint was junk. And no, I'll NEVER UPLOAD IT ON HERE. It's too hideous, and nothing like the works I'm actually passionate about.<br /><br />Well, my <i>Gothology</i> comic submission is now a work in progress. I'm drawing the lineart for the first page. I'm hoping to get a chunk finished before school starts!<br /><br /></div></div><br /><div class="footer"><div class="footerleft"><div class="footerright"></div><br /></div></div><br /><br />AUGUST FEATURES:<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://TzeIsAlive.deviantart.com/art/Black-Kingdom-Red-Kingdom-121431058"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs44/150/i/2009/124/a/b/Black_Kingdom_Red_Kingdom_by_TzeIsAlive.jpg" width="150" height="109" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://HollytheSpider.deviantart.com/art/Dollface-80024445"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.net/fs28/150/i/2008/075/a/d/Dollface_by_HollytheSpider.jpg" width="150" height="100" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Superego-Necropolis.deviantart.com/art/The-Witch-version-1-130706614"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs49/150/i/2009/205/6/b/The_Witch_version_1_by_Superego_Necropolis.jpg" width="109" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://wildvioletflower.deviantart.com/art/Vem-voar-comigo-106068842"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.net/fs38/150/i/2008/346/7/7/Vem_voar_comigo_by_wildvioletflower.jpg" width="150" height="101" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://TzeIsAlive.deviantart.com/art/xX-ANGELSPIT-Xx-116941362"><img src="http://th07.deviantart.net/fs45/150/f/2009/083/a/3/_xX_ANGELSPIT_Xx__by_TzeIsAlive.jpg" width="102" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://RedEyeLoon.deviantart.com/art/Spooked-90820195"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs32/150/i/2008/188/3/9/Spooked_by_RedEyeLoon.jpg" width="150" height="112" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://jankolas.deviantart.com/art/Deathmatch-127634972"><img src="http://th07.deviantart.net/fs48/150/i/2009/180/8/0/Deathmatch_by_jankolas.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Limilamas.deviantart.com/art/Corset-in-black-and-white-100163054"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.net/fs33/150/f/2008/294/5/7/Corset_in_black_and_white_by_Limilamas.jpg" width="112" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://visuali.deviantart.com/art/The-beagle-3932729"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.net/images/150/i/2003/47/c/e/The_beagle.png" width="150" height="36" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://WereBothLittlePeople.deviantart.com/art/D-Ham-123827237"><img src="http://th07.deviantart.... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="leftcolumn"><div class="rightcolumn"><br /><br />Well, I'm nearly done with my novel--the draft of it in my notebook, that is. As for typing up the manuscript, that may take a while, because I have other tasks that require my attendence more urgently--such as working on a comic for the 2nd volume of <i>Gothology</i>, studying SAT, and producing more competent paintings for my portfolio. With school starting in a month and a half <i>*chokes, gags*</i>, schoolwork will swamp up so much of my time, so I'm using summer to try to get as many things as I can out of the way.<br />As much as it's been fun writing, I feel that it's draining me from drawing. As you've probably noticed, I haven't uploaded ANY drawings since last months--just paintings. My focus on writing has contributed to artist's block, and I'm very frustrated. I was working on a pen-and-ink drawing of an impassive, gloomy young men surrounded by skeleton women who try to seduce him, but he ignores them (it was inspired by Apocalyptica's music video for <i>I Don't Care</i>). When I'm done writing, I've got to get started on comic planning. I'm planning for it to be my longest comic yet--probably at least 15 pages, I hope. I know I want there to include a ball (hint: pretty ballgowns! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />), a long-haired male, and a castle. The protagonist is female, but that's all I've confirmed about her so far.<br /><br />I saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at my friends' birthday party yesterday. It exceeded my expectations, and in my opinion, it's the best Harry Potter film since the first two movies. The news and media have said that this movie was very light, and that there was a lot of emphasis on teenage romance and relationships, so I was dreading, "Oh no, this sucks. The whole teenage romance stuff was just a comic relief subplot, and the real point of the movie is finding out more info of Voldemort and his past and Dumbledore's death!" But I saw it, and the teenage romance was not as hyped up as the news made it up to seem, so I was relieved. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Oh, and there's a new Potter Puppet Pal video: it's called <i>Snape's Diary</i>. I think it's the best PPP video yet! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-a8USS84F4">[link]</a><br /><br /></div></div><br /><div class="footer"><div class="footerleft"><div class="footerright"></div><br /></div></div><br /><br />FEATURES FOR JUNE-JULY<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Lambish-1995.deviantart.com/art/For-Hellobaby-3-122809096"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs45/150/i/2009/137/e/0/For_Hellobaby__3_by_Lambish_1995.jpg" width="139" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Nerolis-Dreams.deviantart.com/art/Vita-Notturna-123900910"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.net/fs42/150/f/2009/147/d/d/Vita_Notturna_by_Nerolis_Dreams.jpg" width="106" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://kalinatoneva.deviantart.com/art/Helsinki-105947080"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs38/150/i/2009/147/3/1/Helsinki_by_kalinatoneva.jpg" width="150" height="92" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://wdkimmy.deviantart.com/art/Beauty-and-the-Beast-82960316"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs25/150/f/2008/106/7/3/Beauty_and_the_Beast_by_wdkimmy.jpg" width="124" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://lilitus.deviantart.com/art/The-Legion-of-Yifan-Zhang-112443486"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs40/150/i/2009/041/8/5/The_Legion_of_Yifan_Zhang_by_lilitus.jpg" width="102" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://yensidtlaw1969.deviantart.com/art/Haunted-Mansion-Painting-76375582"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs34/150/i/2009/155/c/f/Haunted_Mansion_Painting_by_yensidtlaw1969.jpg" width="150" height="133" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Mordaunt.deviantart.com/art/The-embrace-21163945"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs7/150/i/2005/211/e/f/The_embrace_by_Mordaunt.jpg" width="127" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://nitachan.deviantart.com/art/the-red-piratess-29358779"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.net/fs9/150/i/2006/051/6/c/the_red_piratess_by_nitachan.jpg" width="105" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://piratephotography.deviantart.c... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="leftcolumn"><div class="rightcolumn"><br /><br />I got taggged by  <a href="http://xxxblackjokerxxx.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/x/x/xxxblackjokerxxx.gif?1" alt=":iconxxxblackjokerxxx:" title="xxxblackjokerxxx"/></a><br />Well, this is my 3rd time. Sorry if I repeat anything.<br /><br />FACTS<br />1) I believe my introduction to the gothic subculture was when I was age 12, and from then on, I found my niche there.<br />2) My brother, before he cut his hair, is the SPITTING IMAGE of Jojo from the movie <i>Horton Hears a Who!</i>. Yes, that's who my current poll is about.<br />3) The song that sucked me into the metal music scene is <i>Nemo</i>, by Nightwish. And yes, that's my first Nightwish song, and I instantly fell in love with them and the European gothic/symphonic/whatever metal scene.<br />4) People constantly mistake me for a college-age student...I hope it's not because I look OLD <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br />5) One time for a disguise (don't ask why), I wore a fuzzy neon green sweater and a CAL baseball cap and put my hair in giant pigtails. Yes, my friends were so shocked to see me because it's nothing like how I usually dress.<br />6) Working on my 3rd novel...I think I might be halfway through...and I resolve to finish writing it in my notebook this summer!<br />7) Don't throw tomatoes (or whatever) at me, but I seriously prefer Tarja Turunen over Anette Olzon as the vocalist for Nightwish. Yes, I know, Tarja and the rest of the band had differing interests and they had to kick her out, but they were really harsh with kicking her out of the band! Tarja's vocals are more my cup of tea than Anette's, just because Tarja is so classical and beautiful, and Anette, well, I think she sounds ordinary. Sorry, but that's me, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks so.<br />8) I saw <i>Ice Age 3</i> on 4th of July with friends, and one think that cracked me up was they fact that there were SO many adult references in that film. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" /> Yeah, kids won't understand it, but I'm guessing Blue Sky Studios stuck them in to amuse the parents who have to watch it with their kids. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />THE END<br /><br /></div></div><br /><div class="footer"><div class="footerleft"><div class="footerright"></div><br /></div></div><br /><br />FEATURES FOR JUNE-JULY<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Lambish-1995.deviantart.com/art/For-Hellobaby-3-122809096"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs45/150/i/2009/137/e/0/For_Hellobaby__3_by_Lambish_1995.jpg" width="139" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Nerolis-Dreams.deviantart.com/art/Vita-Notturna-123900910"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.net/fs42/150/f/2009/147/d/d/Vita_Notturna_by_Nerolis_Dreams.jpg" width="106" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://kalinatoneva.deviantart.com/art/Helsinki-105947080"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs38/150/i/2009/147/3/1/Helsinki_by_kalinatoneva.jpg" width="150" height="92" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://wdkimmy.deviantart.com/art/Beauty-and-the-Beast-82960316"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs25/150/f/2008/106/7/3/Beauty_and_the_Beast_by_wdkimmy.jpg" width="124" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://lilitus.deviantart.com/art/The-Legion-of-Yifan-Zhang-112443486"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs40/150/i/2009/041/8/5/The_Legion_of_Yifan_Zhang_by_lilitus.jpg" width="102" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://yensidtlaw1969.deviantart.com/art/Haunted-Mansion-Painting-76375582"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs34/150/i/2009/155/c/f/Haunted_Mansion_Painting_by_yensidtlaw1969.jpg" width="150" height="133" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Mordaunt.deviantart.com/art/The-embrace-21163945"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs7/150/i/2005/211/e/f/The_embrace_by_Mordaunt.jpg" width="127" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://nitachan.deviantart.com/art/the-red-piratess-29358779"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.net/fs9/150/i/2006/051/6/c/the_red_piratess_by_nitachan.jpg" width="105" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://piratephotography.deviantart.com/art/Militant-Glamour-115939763"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs44/150/f/2009/073/0/0/Militant_Glamour__by_pirate... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just got out of school about an hour ago! I've been so stressed for the past month, and it's all over with! Good-bye, sophomore year! Two more years, and I'm graduating high schooL! Ah, a little more than 2 months of freedom! Starting next Wednesday, I'll be volunteering at my local library (like I did last year), and I'll be volunteering at Museum of Children's Art again this Saturday! The Monday after this coming Monday, I'll be taking a acrylic and oil painting for beginner's class at a community college! I'm so excited! I really want to build my portfolio and immensely improve on painting, since I feel like that's my favorite method of coloring. High-quality markers are way too freaking expensive, colored pencils get me impatient, and pastels feel disgusting to me. Plus, I'm studying to SAT's! That sounds like no fun, but I've got to do it. And I have AP Mandarin homework. Lots of stuff to do! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> (Haha, why am I dancing? <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />).<br /><br />FEATURES OF THE MONTH (sorry for the slow update)<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Lambish-1995.deviantart.com/art/For-Hellobaby-3-122809096"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs45/150/i/2009/137/e/0/For_Hellobaby__3_by_Lambish_1995.jpg" width="139" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Nerolis-Dreams.deviantart.com/art/Vita-Notturna-123900910"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.net/fs42/150/f/2009/147/d/d/Vita_Notturna_by_Nerolis_Dreams.jpg" width="106" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://kalinatoneva.deviantart.com/art/Helsinki-105947080"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs38/150/i/2009/147/3/1/Helsinki_by_kalinatoneva.jpg" width="150" height="92" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://wdkimmy.deviantart.com/art/Beauty-and-the-Beast-82960316"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs25/150/f/2008/106/7/3/Beauty_and_the_Beast_by_wdkimmy.jpg" width="124" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://lilitus.deviantart.com/art/The-Legion-of-Yifan-Zhang-112443486"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs40/150/i/2009/041/8/5/The_Legion_of_Yifan_Zhang_by_lilitus.jpg" width="102" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://yensidtlaw1969.deviantart.com/art/Haunted-Mansion-Painting-76375582"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs34/150/i/2009/155/c/f/Haunted_Mansion_Painting_by_yensidtlaw1969.jpg" width="150" height="133" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Mordaunt.deviantart.com/art/The-embrace-21163945"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs7/150/i/2005/211/e/f/The_embrace_by_Mordaunt.jpg" width="127" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://nitachan.deviantart.com/art/the-red-piratess-29358779"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.net/fs9/150/i/2006/051/6/c/the_red_piratess_by_nitachan.jpg" width="105" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://piratephotography.deviantart.com/art/Militant-Glamour-115939763"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs44/150/f/2009/073/0/0/Militant_Glamour__by_piratephotography.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://FroweMinahild.deviantart.com/art/Victorian-Gothic-2-119891626"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs44/150/f/2009/110/0/3/036edf2ac114d23e6f9c976f5f9c5e5d.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://snowhaven.deviantart.com/art/Dark-108559268"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs41/150/f/2009/005/8/1/Dark_by_snowhaven.jpg" width="107" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://SanSayura.deviantart.com/art/Princess-Ai-Necklace-I-124347786"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.net/fs43/150/i/2009/151/5/7/Princess_Ai_Necklace_I_by_SanSayura.jpg" width="112" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=2725208"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/2725208.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantar... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I attended my school's art show on Wednesday night (it's required for all art students to attend) with my mother and met up with my friend there. When I was just about to enter the library, I saw the list of winners who have won awards in different categories such as creativity, charcoal, painting coloring, printmaking, etc. I was looking through the list, and I suddenly came up MY name in FIRST PLACE in the black and white drawing category! I was so shocked! I did not expect it! I was hoping for 3rd or honorable mention is some category at the best, but no, I got first place in black and white! Some of you watchers may remember from last year that I won 2nd place in Technical Skill last year for <i>Venetian Masquerade</i><br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Vampiressartist.deviantart.com/art/Venetian-Masquerade-110746425"><img src="http://th07.deviantart.com/fs41/150/i/2009/025/f/e/Venetian_Masquerade_by_Vampiressartist.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><br />Well, this year, it's first place for Black and White Drawing for <i>Biting Into Bleeding Solace</i>!<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Vampiressartist.deviantart.com/art/Biting-Into-Bleeding-Solace-107413867"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/fs39/150/i/2008/360/e/d/Biting_Into_Bleeding_Solace_by_Vampiressartist.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><br />I was SO happy! I'm STILL happy! I'm always happy when I receive an award! I felt as though I would topple over and faint when I saw my name.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/kysentha/AP_Reg%20Art%20Show%202009/?action=view&current=AP_artshow_dance024-1.jpg"><img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/kysentha/AP_Reg%20Art%20Show%202009/AP_artshow_dance024-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br />Ok, this is a HELLA fugly picture of me posing by my work, but I don't think my mom was really willing to take another photo, so I let it go.

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry for not paying much attention on here. I'm so stressed and piled with work. These are the final weeks at school, so there's been a lot of workload. Plus, finals are coming up! I feel so mad, stressed, sad, and all that negative, enervating feelings that's sapping my creativity and motivation out of me. I haven't been creating new works lately (unless if you count this watercolor painting of roses I'm doing for art class, which I hope will turn out well), and I can barely write well. When I see really good work, especially from those among my own age group, I feel so jealous. It's pathetic <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tears.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":tears:" title="Tears" /><br /><br />I can't wait for summer to be here. Ugh, I'm so busy. If you have any suggestions for a June journal feature, just comment in this journal. I can't promise I'll feature everything, but I'll choose those that I feel are nice enough for a feature <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Features for the month:<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Tenshi-Uriel.deviantart.com/art/The-Rape-of-Nanjing-35408136"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/fs11/150/i/2006/177/9/6/The_Rape_of_Nanjing_by_Tenshi_Uriel.jpg" width="150" height="75" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Alois-Noette.deviantart.com/art/Childhood-120972283"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/images/150/shared/poetry.jpg" width="150" height="125" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://ryanINaTREE.deviantart.com/art/Red-Snow-118385865"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/fs45/150/i/2009/096/b/4/Red_Snow_by_ryanINaTREE.jpg" width="92" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://ljt0865.deviantart.com/art/jay-chou4-52994423"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs15/150/f/2007/101/9/2/jay_chou4_by_ljt0865.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://ArtsandDogs.deviantart.com/art/Tibetan-Girl-115870552"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.com/fs42/150/f/2009/073/c/c/cc0498d6a3f6970d817648b8caa71b29.jpg" width="104" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Scarlett-of-Bohemia.deviantart.com/art/Moderated-Madness-90623955"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.com/fs32/150/i/2008/186/4/3/Moderated_Madness_by_Scarlett_of_Bohemia.jpg" width="150" height="120" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Shire22.deviantart.com/art/TrickorTreat-Snape-08-101673589"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.com/fs40/150/i/2009/019/7/9/TrickorTreat_Snape_08_by_Shire22.jpg" width="127" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Jujirae.deviantart.com/art/SEXY-CALWYN-2-71542780"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.com/fs22/150/f/2007/340/1/8/SEXY_CALWYN_2_by_Jujirae.jpg" width="126" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Lalaith-Starsong.deviantart.com/art/Kimono-Inspired-109563629"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.com/fs41/150/i/2009/015/f/e/Kimono_Inspired_by_Lalaith_Starsong.jpg" width="117" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://chocolatehomicide.deviantart.com/art/Victorian-Horrors-81230848"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.com/fs28/150/f/2008/088/b/a/Victorian_Horrors_by_chocolatehomicide.jpg" width="150" height="148" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://KennedyxxJames.deviantart.com/art/Welcome-To-Wonderland-111333865"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.com/fs41/150/i/2009/032/e/5/Welcome_To_Wonderland_by_KennedyxxJames.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://DraculeaRiccy.deviantart.com/art/Circus-117586332"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.com/fs42/150/i/2009/089/1/7/Circus_by_DraculeaRiccy.jpg" width="109" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://MorbidDuck.deviantart.com/art/Keep-on-Chewin-60013064"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.com/fs17/150/f/2007/198/c/6/Keep_on_Chewin___by_MorbidDuck.jpg" width="150" height="110" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://meanjean.deviantart.com/art/Notre-Dame-Cathedral-Montreal-5743535"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/images3/150/i/2004/11/d/b/Notre_Dame_Cathedral_Montreal.jpg" width="150" height="102" /></a></span></span><br /><br /><br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=2725208"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vma... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As much as I love drawing in pen and ink, looking at my gallery, I feel it's getting repetitive. I don't think you guys will see works from my imagination for maybe a month. I feel the need to practice drawing from life and from photos--and paint from life and the images I see. But to exercise my creative juices, I'll be writing. I've been working on short stories and a novel (I'm trying to finish this! It's my 3rd one.).<br />Currently, I'm working on a pencil drawing (my first one in, what, FOREVER) and I'm pleased that it's going well. And I'm editing <i>Dead Love</i> and working on another short story (a longer one) about a talented dancer who becomes paralyzed in a car accident and falls in love with her doctor when he gives her drugs that can temporarily restore her legs.<br /><br />Features for the month:<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Tenshi-Uriel.deviantart.com/art/The-Rape-of-Nanjing-35408136"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/fs11/150/i/2006/177/9/6/The_Rape_of_Nanjing_by_Tenshi_Uriel.jpg" width="150" height="75" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Alois-Noette.deviantart.com/art/Childhood-120972283"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/images/150/shared/poetry.jpg" width="150" height="125" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://ryanINaTREE.deviantart.com/art/Red-Snow-118385865"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/fs45/150/i/2009/096/b/4/Red_Snow_by_ryanINaTREE.jpg" width="92" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://ljt0865.deviantart.com/art/jay-chou4-52994423"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs15/150/f/2007/101/9/2/jay_chou4_by_ljt0865.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://ArtsandDogs.deviantart.com/art/Tibetan-Girl-115870552"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.com/fs42/150/f/2009/073/c/c/cc0498d6a3f6970d817648b8caa71b29.jpg" width="104" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Scarlett-of-Bohemia.deviantart.com/art/Moderated-Madness-90623955"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.com/fs32/150/i/2008/186/4/3/Moderated_Madness_by_Scarlett_of_Bohemia.jpg" width="150" height="120" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Shire22.deviantart.com/art/TrickorTreat-Snape-08-101673589"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.com/fs40/150/i/2009/019/7/9/TrickorTreat_Snape_08_by_Shire22.jpg" width="127" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Jujirae.deviantart.com/art/SEXY-CALWYN-2-71542780"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.com/fs22/150/f/2007/340/1/8/SEXY_CALWYN_2_by_Jujirae.jpg" width="126" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Lalaith-Starsong.deviantart.com/art/Kimono-Inspired-109563629"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.com/fs41/150/i/2009/015/f/e/Kimono_Inspired_by_Lalaith_Starsong.jpg" width="117" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://chocolatehomicide.deviantart.com/art/Victorian-Horrors-81230848"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.com/fs28/150/f/2008/088/b/a/Victorian_Horrors_by_chocolatehomicide.jpg" width="150" height="148" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://KennedyxxJames.deviantart.com/art/Welcome-To-Wonderland-111333865"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.com/fs41/150/i/2009/032/e/5/Welcome_To_Wonderland_by_KennedyxxJames.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://DraculeaRiccy.deviantart.com/art/Circus-117586332"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.com/fs42/150/i/2009/089/1/7/Circus_by_DraculeaRiccy.jpg" width="109" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://MorbidDuck.deviantart.com/art/Keep-on-Chewin-60013064"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.com/fs17/150/f/2007/198/c/6/Keep_on_Chewin___by_MorbidDuck.jpg" width="150" height="110" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://meanjean.deviantart.com/art/Notre-Dame-Cathedral-Montreal-5743535"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/images3/150/i/2004/11/d/b/Notre_Dame_Cathedral_Montreal.jpg" width="150" height="102" /></a></span></span><br /><br /><br /><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=2725208"><img src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/2725208.png" alt="Visitor Map"></img><br><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a><br><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" s... ]]></description>

I'm working on a really challenging piece at school (I had to start all over again, since the first version of the piece was too complex, and I was losing motivation, and in case if you're wondering, no, it's not in ink or in paint, so the medium's pretty unfamiliar to me, and I got all cocky and tried to draw too many things), and it's pretty frustrating, but I hope it'll be at least satisfactory when it's finished. The school-wide art show's next month, and I am looking forward to it!<br />Oh, and at school, my Dracula poster is hanging all over the place now. I came out of history class on Monday, and in the hallway, I saw one poster of it on the wall. I was like, "Oh, it's out now...cool!" And then I walked out of the history building, and there was another one across the hall! And then another, and another, every turn I take! It's very flattering, yet kinda intimidating at the same time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> But I do love the compliments people give me on my poster design, and I'm excited to see the performance next week. I'm not in dance this year, so I'm not performing, but designing the poster is good enough for me! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Vampiressartist.deviantart.com/art/Dracula-Poster-Portion-116761512"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.com/fs44/150/i/2009/081/b/a/Dracula_Poster__Portion_by_Vampiressartist.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span><br />Here's a portion of the poster--I didn't upload the entire thing, since it contains confidential info (my school, etc).<br /><br />Well, have a lovely day you guys! I'm off to go to a sophomore planning night to start planning for college and my future and the rest of my high school years.

                <description><![CDATA[ Ah, it's spring break for me. But I'm swamped with work. I'm doing at least 2 hours of SAT study everyday, and I've got sketchbook homework (already finished half of it), schoolwork, and other stuff to fret over. I just finished writing a history paper on the film <i>The Pianist</i>, and right now, I'm taking a break from writing a paper on Walt Disney.<br /><br />I finished reading <i>The Tenth Power<i> by Kate Constable, the 3rd and final book of the Chanters of Tremaris trilogy.<br /><br /><b>NOTE: THERE IS SPOILERS, SO IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK AND DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED, DON'T READ BEYOND THIS!!!!!!!!!!!</b><br /><br />IT. WAS. SO. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> I read the first book, <i>The Singer of All Songs</i>, in 6th grade, and I've been waiting FOREVER for the public library to get the rest of the books. And finally, finally, I was able to check them out and finally finish it after 4 years of waiting! OMG, I love it. *melts into a puddle of swooning satisfaction* Amazing, great fantasy novels. Kate Constable is amazing for being able to draw in readers into the vivid world of Tremaris. What I like best about the 3rd book was when Samis kidnaps Calwyn, and I get all infuriated, because he's the evil antagonist, and I thought he was going to inflict harm upon Calwyn, but instead, they form a teacher-student relationship with a minor romance. I know, it sounds totally weird and "what the heck??" but there was something about their relationship that I found strongly seductive. I liked it a lot <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> But of course, I prefer Darrow and Calwyn as a couple more. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://thewritersnook.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thewritersnook.jpg" alt=":iconthewritersnook:" title="thewritersnook"/></a> <a href="http://the-novelist-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/the-novelist-club.gif" alt=":iconthe-novelist-club:" title="the-novelist-club"/></a> <a href="http://darkclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkclub.png?1" alt=":icondarkclub:" title="darkclub"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweeney-todd-club.gif" alt=":iconsweeney-todd-club:" title="sweeney-todd-club"/></a> <a href="http://vampires-unite.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampires-unite.gif" alt=":iconvampires-unite:" title="vampires-unite"/></a> <a href="http://darkfashionshow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkfashionshow.gif" alt=":icondarkfashionshow:" title="darkfashionshow"/></a> <a href="http://anime-man... ]]></description>

Many witnesses called police, and one took a picture of the incident using his cell phone. A witness described the horrifying scene, Â[The dogÂs] arms were behind it, its chest was on the ground and there were streaks of blood. And we went back afterwards and measured it, four-tenths of a mile he dragged this dog. The pads of its feet were gone and it was laying in a pool of blood." The tortured dog died before he could be treated.<br /><br />Everybody's vote and letter signing will count and help very much toward arresting this shit of a human being. Thank you to all who participate, and I hope many of you will. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />Go here to sign the petition: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5154/t/4713/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1281">[link]</a><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://thewritersnook.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thewritersnook.jpg" alt=":iconthewritersnook:" title="thewritersnook"/></a> <a href="http://the-novelist-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/the-novelist-club.gif" alt=":iconthe-novelist-club:" title="the-novelist-club"/></a> <a href="http://darkclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkclub.png?1" alt=":icondarkclub:" title="darkclub"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweeney-todd-club.gif" alt=":iconsweeney-todd-club:" title="sweeney-todd-club"/></a> <a href="http://vampires-unite.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampires-unite.gif" alt=":iconvampires-unite:" title="vampires-unite"/></a> <a href="http://darkfashionshow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkfashionshow.gif" alt=":icondarkfashionshow:" title="darkfashionshow"/></a> <a href="http://anime-manga-artists.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anime-manga-artists.gif" alt=":iconanime-manga-artists:" title="anime-manga-artists"/></a> <a href="http://musicals.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/u/musicals.gif" alt=":iconmusicals:" title="musicals"/></a> <a href="http://cain-godchild-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/a/cain-godchild-club.gif" alt=":iconcain-godchild-club:" title="cain-godchild-club"/></a> <a href="http://halloween-town.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/a/halloween-town.gif" alt=":iconhalloween-town:" title="halloween-town"/></a> <a href="http://metalovers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/metalovers.gif" alt=":iconmetalovers:" title="metalovers"... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just want to say...SORRY if I'm not commenting your works!!!!!!! I'm so swamped with schoolwork lately! Now that I'm totally relieved to have finished inking the final page of my contest entry yesterday, I gotta focus on schoolwork! I've got a math test on Monday that I know NOTHING on, my biology outline is due this coming week, with the presentation shortly due after that, a filming project in bio, SAT to study for, scholarships to try to apply for, volunteer work to do.......AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Don't mind me, but I'm going insane here!

                <description><![CDATA[ At my school, in the foreign language department, the classes of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level (students in level 1 didn't have enough knowledge of the language, and it was optional for AP students) were required to perform lip-syncs in front of their classes, and the ones voted the best had to perform in front of school this week. Spanish went on Wednesday, Mandarin went yesterday, and French went today. Well, even though my group won 3rd place in my class, my teacher asked my group if we wanted to perform, since it was so fun to watch, and we had spent more than 10 hours on it, and there was still room for another performance. So we agreed! We performed the song <i>Pirates</i> by Jolin Tsai <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqOn7Edt8J0,">[link]</a> and I was so happy that people loved our performance and showered us with compliments! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br /><br />In history class today, my teacher handed out a sheet with guidelines to writing an essay on World War II. He said that we can choose one of the prompts on the sheet, but if we wanted to come up with our own prompt to write about, we should get his permission first.<br />I don't want to do one of the prompts he gave us. No, I've already heard too much about the western side of war, with the holocaust and Hitler and blahblahblah. Yes, it's all interesting to learn about, but I've already been learning about the European/American side of WWII since 8th grade. I NEED to know the asian side of the story of WWII! As a Chinese, I feel that I have the right to know, even if my California history textbook doesn't provide me with enough info.<br /><br />So, I just did some research. I know that Japan committed horrible atrocities to China in WWII, but what I just researched, OMG, it was HORRENDOUS. The Rape of Nanjing, the medical experiments, the comfort women, the brutality, terrible murders, <i>GACK!!!!!!!!!!!</i>. I'm not a Japan-hater (well, duh! I love anime!), but what Japan did to asian countries during WWII is definitely inforgivable! So, while I'm mulling over what my essay prompt should be (I'm currently pondering over whether or not the Japanese attempt to conquer the rest of asia was influenced by the European imperialism of non-western countries), I've been watching this sad clip of this upcoming 2009 movie on Nanking and the depiction of what Japan did to China. I'm not trying to sound racist, but oh my goodness, it makes me SO mad whenever people say "OMG, Japan is the best country EVER!!!!!!!" or when they act like silly Japanese fanatists and blurt out random phrases in Japanese and pretend they're some cutesy little Japanese schoolgirl or whatnot. My brother, he got asked if he was Japanese, and he said no. When he was asked if he was half-Japanese, he said no again. When asked if he was Japanese AT ALL, he said, "No! Why do you ask?" and the response was, "Because only Japanese boys can be this cute." Well, hey, it's a compliment to call my brother cute (and yes, my brother is adorable, and I love him very much <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />), but that was more of an insult to him, saying that only Japanese guys can be cute. I'm sorry, but I HATE people who claim to be total Japanese fanatists, but don't know anything about the atrocities they've committed or give other asian countries credit!<br /><br />Okay, I'm ranting. I'm sorry if I've offended anybody.<br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class=... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So much to do, so much going on! I'm researching genetic testing/pharmacogenomics/pharmacogenetics for a group science project, and my 2 other partners are out of town, and I'm currently doing all the research. I hope they make it up to me when they return home. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />I've been getting into the Steampunk aesthetics, as I am currently attending 2 Steampunk contests on this website, and I have been watching <i>Treasure Planet</i> and am currently listening to Abney Park, which I just recently discovered. It's been about 6 years since I saw <i>Tresure Planet</i> when it was released in theatres, and now that I am watching it again as a 16-year-old, now that I know much more about art, animation, and the aesthetics, it's such a wonderfully, beautifully animated film with so much creativity! It was such a flop, because it had to compete with all the CGI-animated films that were being released, and 2-D animation had become outdated. If only it was released during Disney's Renaissance era, during the time when they released The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Tarzan, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and all that, it would've been a success. To bad it was the wrong timing.<br /><br />I saw <i>Girl With a Pearl Earring</i> 2 (yes, TWO) times this weekend. My mom rented it from Netflix, since I've been wanting to watch it for quite some time, and it is now among my list of favorite films! I love the book, and Johannes Vermeer is one of my favorite classical painters, and the film is spectacular! It was very reminiscent of Vermeer's style of painting, and Scarlett Johannson was wonderful as Griet. Colin Firth as Vermeer was...WOW. He portrayed Vermeer perfectly! Even though nobody knows what Vermeer was like as a person, or what he even looked like, this is the only film in which I find Colin Firth really interesting (and handsome <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />). He had this really smouldering, rugged, sensual aura; his portrayal of Vermeer really reminded me of Mr. Coffin Maker from the manga <i>Godchild</i> (my favorite character! Too bad he had such a small role <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tears.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":tears:" title="Tears" />). When I first watched it on Friday night, it was SO good, I had to watch it again on Saturday night. I loved seeing the paintings, too!<br /><br />Oh, and it's been one year since I became ridiculously addicted to playing <i>Shadow the Hedgehog</i>. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://thewritersnook.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thewritersnook.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthewritersnook:" title="thewritersnook"/></a> <a href="http://the-novelist-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/the-novelist-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthe-novelist-club:" title="the-novelist-club"/></a> <a href="http://darkclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkclub.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkclub:" title="darkclub"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.... ]]></description>

A Valentine thing! Click here!" or whatnot on somebody's page in the comments section, DO NOT CLICK ON IT!!!!! It has been very kind of some people to post warning entries about this, because it's a virus going around DA. If you get it on your page, mark it as spam, so that no one can click on it.<br /><br />I was tagged by <a href="http://vampire-dya.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampire-dya.jpg?13" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampire-dya:" title="vampire-dya"/></a> so..the rules are:<br /><br />1 ~ Post these rules<br />2 ~ Each tagged person must post 8 things about theirselves on their journal.<br />3 ~ At the end you have to choose 8 people to tag, and post their icons on the same journal.<br />4 ~ Go to their page and send a message saying you tagged them.<br />5 ~ NO tag-backs.<br /><br />1: If I could ever perform on Broadway, my dream role would be Belle from <i>Beauty and the Beast</i>. Alas, I do not have the talent of a performing artist, so it would never come true. But I am content with the gift of a visual artist and writer. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />2: I am among the endangered individuals left in this world who believes in abstinence before marriage <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tears.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":tears:" title="Tears" /> AND I am non-Christian!<br /><br />3: I'm almost always pretty vain. I like to take care of my skin and I like to look presentable <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />4: As my best friend knows (and enjoys teasing me about <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />), I'm typically attracted to guys with long black hair. But of course, that's not the only thing that should attract me to a guy.<br /><br />5: Last year, on Valentine's Day, I dressed up anti-Valentine's day, gothing myself up (as usual <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" />) and painting bleeding hearts over my eyes.<br /><br />6: æç¥éä¸é»ä¸­æ. I know a little bit of Chinese.<br /><br />7: My dad's side of the family is so...well, sort of nerdy and I guess a bit more conservative. And most of them are now living in the U.S. Meanwhile, my mom's side of the family are all in Taiwan (in Taipei! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />), and even though we have a bit of a language barrier, they are way more into anime and manga and are chicer than my dad's side of the family. Even my grandmother knows what the heck <i>Death Note</i> is!<br /><br />8: There is a part of me, inside, that is forever suspended in time. A fragment of me, my 4-year-old self, crystallized somewhere near my heart for all of eternity. That part of me will never grow up, and will never leave me, and even when I am an adult, I will always be in touch with that child within me.<br /><br />I tag: <a href="http://alois-noette.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/alois-noette.png?9" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconalois-noette:" title="alois-noette"/></a> <a href="http://lalaith-starsong.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/a/lalaith-starsong.png?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconlalaith-starsong:" title="lalaith-starsong"/></a> <a href="http://ryaninatree.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconryaninatree:" title="ryaninatree"/></a> <a href="http://aishiteruzeecho.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/i/aishiteruzeecho.gif?2" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconaishiteruzeecho:" title="aishiteruzeecho"/></a> <a href="http://alterrnativewriting.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/alterrnativewriting.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconalterrnativewriting:" title="alterrnativewriting"/></a> <a href="http://otherra.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/t/otherra.gif?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconotherra:" title="otherra"/></a> <a href="http://boonjagga.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconboonjagga:" title="boonjagga"/></a> <a href="http://lilitus.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/i/lilitus.jpg?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconlilitus:" title="lilitus"/></a><br /><br />_________________________________________... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Whoooo, I'm so happy, finals are OVER! This is the first weekend in SUCH a long time since I've had no homework. To celebrate, I painted for the rest of the afternoon when I got home on Friday, resulting in this: <a href="http://vampiressartist.deviantart.com/art/Sleepy-Eyes-110563706">[link]</a> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Yesterday, I volunteered at Museum of Children's Art (MOCHA), to gain more hours so I can attain my goal of 50 community service hours by May 1 for school. I was working with one of the workers there to frame these artworks done in pastel from Sakura of America by all these kids from across the U.S. Now that I'm in high school and surrounded by high school-level artworks, I hardly ever see kids' art anymore, and seeing all these works in pastels done by kids just blew me away. Some of them were just SO beautiful and sophisticated and advanced by, what, these amazing 2nd graders! And when I volunteer on Saturday, they will be hung up on the wall for the competition, and there will be judges choosing the best ones.<br /><br />I LOVE Serena Valentino. She is one of my favorite cartoonist now. I am currently reading <i>Nightmares and Fairy Tales</i> and <i>Gloomcookie</i>, which I checked out from the library. She's so fright, so wonderfully and deliciously macabre and sinister. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/skull.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":skull:" title="Death!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> I've been basically breathing, eating, and drinking her work before I sleep. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Oh, and I'm also reading this GREAT Victorian lesbian novel called <i>Tipping the Velvet</i>. I'm only on chapter 2, so I'm not very far, but it is great so far! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://thewritersnook.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thewritersnook.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthewritersnook:" title="thewritersnook"/></a> <a href="http://the-novelist-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/the-novelist-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthe-novelist-club:" title="the-novelist-club"/></a> <a href="http://darkclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkclub.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkclub:" title="darkclub"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweeney-todd-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsweeney-todd-club:" title="sweeney-todd-club"/></a> <a href="http://vampires-unite.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="ht... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone.<br /><br />Sorry to you all if I don't comment on your newest deviations, or if it seems like I'm not paying attention to you. I've been absolutely stressed and driven mad today, studying for finals that are soon coming up. I absolutely hate biology! Why the heck can't I drop that stupid class? At least history is easier, and math, while hard, is not as demanding as science! I chose to cut off my computer time (yes, of my own free will, can you imagine that?), since I'm so busy. I'm only on right now, because my dad sees how stressed, and I thought I might as well come online and doodle from some stock photos.<br /><br />Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhhhhhhhhhhh.....being a high school student is difficult.....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tears.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":tears:" title="Tears" /><br /><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://thewritersnook.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thewritersnook.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthewritersnook:" title="thewritersnook"/></a> <a href="http://the-novelist-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/the-novelist-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthe-novelist-club:" title="the-novelist-club"/></a> <a href="http://darkclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkclub.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkclub:" title="darkclub"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweeney-todd-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsweeney-todd-club:" title="sweeney-todd-club"/></a> <a href="http://vampires-unite.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampires-unite.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampires-unite:" title="vampires-unite"/></a> <a href="http://darkfashionshow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkfashionshow.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkfashionshow:" title="darkfashionshow"/></a> <a href="http://anime-manga-artists.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anime-manga-artists.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconanime-manga-artists:" title="anime-manga-artists"/></a> <a href="http://musicals.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/u/musicals.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmusicals:" title="musicals"/></a> <a href="http://cain-godchild-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/a/cain-godchild-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcain-godchild-club:" title="cain-godchild-club"/></a> <a href="http://halloween-town.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/a/halloween-town.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhalloween-town:" title="halloween-town"/></a> <a href="http://metalovers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/metalovers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmet... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy New Year, everyone! May 2009 be a better year for you all, and I hope you all have a bright, brilliant future to look to!<br /><br />In addition to the first day of 2009, it's my birthday! My sweet sixteen! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> No, I'm not going to have some crazy wild bash like those silly ditzes on MTV. It's just a quiet day, just as the rest of my holiday has been this year. But my family and I just came back from Fremont, eating Chinese food, and it was nice to get out of the house for a bit. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> And later, I'll bake my birthday brownie with my mom and blow out the candles! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> This is my 3rd year in a row doing that! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/party.gif" width="50" height="20" alt=":party:" title="Party" /><br /><br />I was listening to The Cruxshadow's song, <i>Birthday</i>. The lyrics just really make me reflect upon myself. Here, Rogue sings:<br /><br /><i>Today is your birthday<br />but it might be...<br />the last day of your life<br />so what will you do if tomorrow- its all gone<br /><br />You won't be young forever<br />there's only a fraction to the sum<br />you won't be young forever<br />nor will anyone<br /><br />so...<br /><br />Look at your life, who do you want to be- before you die?<br />Look at your life, and what do you want to do?<br />Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die<br />Look at your life, you haven't got forever (it all comes back to you)</i><br /><br />Since yesterday, I've been thinking of the economy, and how it apparently seems that the lifestyle you lead depends on how much money you have. It makes me fear for my future. I really want to attend a college, a university that's at least somewhat prestigious, with majors that I'll love pursuing, and a city that I love living in. I want to become a manga artist and a novelist, and work as an animator for Pixar to support it. But my mother says that since Pixar is a corporation, when the stocks crash during the business cycle, a bunch of people will be laid off, and she doesn't want to see me get fired from a job. Well, I don't want to get fired either! I mean, I'm a hard worker, and as long as I like something, I take it very seriously. School's been a little hectic, and with the semester almost over and exams coming up, I really need to maintain my straight A's!!!! (I know, you're probably thinking, "OMG, you're such a psycho workaholic!"). So I might become an art teacher instead. That'd probably be fun, to travel and teach art in different areas of the world.<br />But I won't be young forever. I'm not going to be around forever! I want to be accomplished before my time has come to leave this world. I certainly hope that the economy gets better. I'm just telling myself that my life as a high school student is supposed to have its ups and downs, so this is just a natural part of life. I hope so. I certainly hope the future holds great things for me, just as I hope it does for so many other people in the world. I hope AIDS and cancer will be cured, that arguments between different nations will be alleviated, that global warming will slow down, that the rate of teen pregnancy will dramatically decrease, and that the world will become a happier place to live in.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/party.gif" width="50" height="20" alt=":party:" title="Party" />Happy New Year everyone!<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /> May it be a bright year for us all!<br /><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Merry Christmas, everyone!<br />Brrrrr, it's so cold here! My fingers are awfully clumsy with movements as I'm typing this.<br /><br />Another quiet day. I was watching Nightmare Before Christmas about an hour ago. It's my favorite Christmas movie along with Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas. I love watching the residents of Halloweentown creating their own Halloweenized Christmas. And I LOVE Jack's coffin sleigh! I wanna ride in it! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />Anyway, I love this Christmas song: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kWJvfIOF-M">[link]</a><br /><i>As Long As There's Christmas</i>, sung by Belle from <i>Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas.</i> It makes me feel all warm and glowy inside. ^^ It really makes me think that Christmas shouldn't just be a Christian holiday. Yes, it's the birth of Jesus Christ, but it really feels like the day of the year when there should be peace on earth, during the cold, bitter winter. A time when people should come together with smiles and wish-wishings. There's no snow here, but if there was, I imagine myself going outside and dancing and singing in harmony with whatever friends I have. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/love.gif" width="23" height="16" alt=":love:" title="Love" /><br /><br />Merry Christmas<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/snowflake.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":snowflake:" title="Snowflake" /><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://thewritersnook.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thewritersnook.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthewritersnook:" title="thewritersnook"/></a> <a href="http://the-novelist-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/the-novelist-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthe-novelist-club:" title="the-novelist-club"/></a> <a href="http://darkclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkclub.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkclub:" title="darkclub"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweeney-todd-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsweeney-todd-club:" title="sweeney-todd-club"/></a> <a href="http://vampires-unite.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampires-unite.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampires-unite:" title="vampires-unite"/></a> <a href="http://darkfashionshow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkfashionshow.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkfashionshow:"... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ah, Christmas Eve!<br /><br />It's very quiet here. No festivities. No visiting relatives. No family-friend gatherings. But my family and I are having our own quiet little Christmas dinner. And I can't wait to eat my mother's freshly-baked berry pie!!!!!!!!!!! : D<br /><br />And in case if you're wondering if my virus is gone...no. I was just able to hook up my mom's laptop to my printer/scanner so I could scan things onto her laptop and upload them here. Ah, my poor computer!<br /><br />In one week, I'll be counting down to my birthday...which is on New Year's Day. Ah, Sweet Sixteen! But I don't know how sweet it'll be. It'll probably be just another quiet day. I'll draw a fantasy cake for myself, and I'll probably upload on here on my birthday.<br /><br />Merry Christmas, all my lovely Deviants. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://thewritersnook.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thewritersnook.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthewritersnook:" title="thewritersnook"/></a> <a href="http://the-novelist-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/the-novelist-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthe-novelist-club:" title="the-novelist-club"/></a> <a href="http://darkclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkclub.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkclub:" title="darkclub"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweeney-todd-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsweeney-todd-club:" title="sweeney-todd-club"/></a> <a href="http://vampires-unite.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampires-unite.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampires-unite:" title="vampires-unite"/></a> <a href="http://darkfashionshow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkfashionshow.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkfashionshow:" title="darkfashionshow"/></a> <a href="http://anime-manga-artists.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anime-manga-artists.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconanime-manga-artists:" title="anime-manga-artists"/></a> <a href="http://musicals.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/u/musicals.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmusicals:" title="musicals"/></a> <a href="http://cain-godchild-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/a/cain-godchild-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcain-godchild-club:" title="cain-godchild-club"/></a> <a href="http://halloween-town.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/a/halloween-town.gif" width="50" height="50" a... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My computer has contracted a virus.<br />So, it's become pretty slow. I feel like such an idiot; it's as if the computer has contracted HIV, and it's developed into AIDS. Or maybe cancer. And I'm going crazy from learning about cell division and cancer and cell mutation in class!!!!!<br /><br />I'm sorry to all the people I watch that I may not be able to comment on your wonderful works, or that I may not be able to view them, since I don't like seeing a huge bulk of Deviations waiting for me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />I'm going to go on a bit of a computer break. Save my precious files, and my mother's resetting my computer and cleaning it out of all data so as to get rid of the virus. And my dad has to get a portable for me. I feel like I've contracted some emotional virus myself...like I'm being eaten up from the inside out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/tears.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":tears:" title="Tears" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I took Katie's <a href="http://alois-noette.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/alois-noette.png?6" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconalois-noette:" title="alois-noette"/></a> advice and asked this girl who pretty much acts like the leader of the editorial board and asked her what it is about my writing she doesn't like. She told me, "Well, your writing...it's very <i>dark</i>. As we've said, we don't want dark writing in the lit mag, and though we have chosen a few, yours are VERY dark. You're a dark person." And she went on about how I was already in the first issue of the Lit Mag last year as a freshman, and something along the lines that I shouldn't be in the magazine again and to give other people a chance (Excuse me? I've noticed that there are some people who are in every issue!) for at least a while.<br />Weeeelll, for some reason, while I was expecting a slap in the face, I feel <i>liberated</i>. So fine, what if my writing is dark? It's me. It's what I write, it's what comes naturally to me. Fine fine fine fine fine. It's others' losses if they see the lit mag as just a bunch of emo crap, which is why they don't want dark stuff. Now, I absolutely abhor the word <i>emo</i>. It's just so...so...oh, look at me! I'm so dark and deep and absolutely enthralling the world with my oh-so-wonderful misery! So commercialized and oh-so-in-your-face! And that's how everyone else on the editorial board puts it: Oh, we don't want emo pieces!<br />Well, I'm not changing my style just to please them. My writing is NOT emo (though she didn't say that to me), thankyouverymuch, and it's my writing, and I'll hold my head high and stay on the editorial board because I want to be part of a literary group, the only one that exists at school. I LIKE literature and creative writing, and I get community service hours <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />. I don't think I'll submit any pieces to them for a while. I can find others who like my works, like all the wonderful, lovely readers I have on here <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br />My history teacher likes my artwork <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> When the whole class was down in the library for research, he noticed my Distorted Cinderella Castle <a href="http://vampiressartist.deviantart.com/art/Distorted-Cinderella-Castle-100861892,">[link]</a> which is on display in the library along with other selected distorted pieces. He said he really liked it and wants to see my other work. So, I showed him Reflected Innards <a href="http://vampiressartist.deviantart.com/art/Reflected-Innards-manga-102484426">[link]</a> before , which is in my math binder, before class started. He also showed me some drawings he drew when he was in his 20's (which I'm guessing is sometime in the 80's) of cartoon characters, like characters from Loonie Toons and old Disney. He likes the Disney films from the Golden Age of Disney, like <i>Sleeping Beauty</i> and <i>Alice in Wonderland</i>, and said that he really likes them because they were all hand-done, and especially likes the dragon fight scene in Sleeping Beauty and found that really amazing. I guess I like my history teacher more now, despite the fact that he's a pretty tough teacher. But I heard the other history teachers are worse and explicitly boring, so I'm glad to have him as a teacher. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> He was like a total metalhead in his youth, and has a Metallica poster in the classroom. Well, that was a more cheery part of the day. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />AND IT'S NOW THANKSGIVING BREAK!!!!!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturban... ]]></description>

But it was fun while it lasted <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />I just got back home from taking the PSAT; I was just sitting in the lonely corner of my classroom some other kids of my grade whose surnames are also from the letters S through Z, sitting by the window and looking out over the place where my leg got all scabbed up. When we were dismissed from testing, I went out and looked down the hill--it IS really steep.<br /><br />I'm not getting my PSAT score until December, but I certainly hope my score in the writing section was particularly high, as that's my favorite section, and I got a really high score when I was practicing for the test.<br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://thewritersnook.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thewritersnook.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthewritersnook:" title="thewritersnook"/></a> <a href="http://the-novelist-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/the-novelist-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthe-novelist-club:" title="the-novelist-club"/></a> <a href="http://darkclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkclub.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkclub:" title="darkclub"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweeney-todd-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsweeney-todd-club:" title="sweeney-todd-club"/></a> <a href="http://vampires-unite.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampires-unite.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampires-unite:" title="vampires-unite"/></a> <a href="http://darkfashionshow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkfashionshow.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkfashionshow:" title="darkfashionshow"/></a> <a href="http://anime-manga-artists.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anime-manga-artists.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconanime-manga-artists:" title="anime-manga-artists"/></a> <a href="http://musicals.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/u/musicals.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmusicals:" title="musicals"/></a> <a href="http://cain-godchild-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/a/cain-godchild-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcain-godchild-club:" title="cain-godchild-club"/></a> <a href="http://halloween-town.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/a/halloween-town.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhalloween-town:" title="halloween-town"/></a> <a href="http://metalovers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/metalovers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmetalovers:" title="metalovers"/></a>... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, it's September already...school started last week for me, and this week I already have 4 quizzes! I've got a Mandarin quiz tomorrow, a Biology quiz and an English quiz on Wednesday, and an Algebra quiz on Friday. Ugh...it's quite stressful. I am not enjoying sophomore year so far.<br /><br />I just finished an artwork I created of Disney's Beauty and the Beast! It's basically depicting Belle and the Beast (his real name's Adam, in case if you didn't know, though it was never mentioned in the film) in their ballroom finery, and Chip, Mrs. Potts, Cogsworth, Lumiere, and the enchanted rose in the bell jar behind them. I think it's one of my best works, and it took me a LOOOOOONG time to finish it. It's probably because of my micron pens, which I bought weeks ago. Before I had them, I always used a fine-tipped Sharpie pen to ink my work, but I love my micron pens because I'm able to ink in so much more details than I can when I use a Sharpie pen. But since the micron pens can fill in so much more details, it takes a longer time to create a beautiful artwork, but it's worth the time as long as it's good. I scanned it onto my computer, but I don't think I'll upload it onto here until October, because October is the month of Halloween, and I think I want to save posting artwork on here till then. Well, there is a work I'm going to post on here this week, but it's going to be a surprise for someone^^.<br /><br />Well, wish me luck on my quizzes...<br /><br />FEATURES OF THE WEEK<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/61220596/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs16/150/f/2007/213/d/3/_____VOTE_FOR_MEH______by_blackgothique.jpg" width="102" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/96719638/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/images/150/shared/poetry.jpg" width="150" height="125" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/96670217/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs36/150/f/2008/244/b/8/Through_the_Doors_by_Lestatis.jpg" width="118" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/96566291/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs36/150/i/2008/244/0/f/_Gloomy_Baby__by_dead_moth_photo.jpg" width="115" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/96705865/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs37/150/f/2008/245/d/8/d8825f6e93a1c7d66958003ee84408a3.jpg" width="114" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/96713706/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs36/150/i/2008/245/2/9/4th_CG_coloring_by_Hexpixie.jpg" width="109" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/96563722/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs36/150/i/2008/244/d/f/Midget_flowers_by_Lalaith_Starsong.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/96463381/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs36/150/i/2008/243/1/2/Don__t_Leave_Me_by_DarkRoseBreath.jpg" width="122" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ School started today. Wow, summer's gone already...where did it go??? Anyway, first day of school was good. I really like my teachers so far. I had English, Art II, Social Psychology, and Mandarin IV, and they're all cool. Tomorrow, I have Modern World History, Biology, Algebra II, and Mandarin again. I'm so nervous about my classes! I hope I can maintain straight A's like I did last year! And I hope I can squeeze in the time for creating art, creative writing, and free reading. I'm working on a novel (well, I wanted it to be a novella, but looking at how things are going, it looks like it's going to be a novel), and it's a dark twist of Beauty and the Beast. I hope I can finish it soon because I've got another story wriggling within me...<br /><br />FEATURES OF THE WEEK<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/91870716/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs32/150/f/2008/198/2/4/in_ma_crazy_5_by_phio_chan.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/84326133/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs30/150/i/2008/121/d/c/Slick_by_Dollybeck.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/96005783/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs34/150/i/2008/238/a/9/__Hey_Devil__Do_you_love_me___by_Momochan666.jpg" width="150" height="106" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/96013418/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/images/150/shared/poetry.jpg" width="150" height="125" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/95910190/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs33/150/i/2008/237/4/d/Gothic_Nightmare_by_CoyoteCreations.jpg" width="118" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/96035673/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs33/150/f/2008/238/d/9/Chocolate_Bugg_by_Navy4ever.jpg" width="141" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://thewritersnook.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thewritersnook.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthewritersnook:" title="thewritersnook"/></a> <a href="http://the-novelist-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/the-novelist-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthe-novelist-club:" title="the-novelist-club"/></a> <a href="http://darkclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkclub.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkclub:" title="darkclub"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweeney-todd-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsweeney-todd-club:" title="sweeney-todd-club"/></a> <a... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow...I was watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics on Friday, and I was absolutely BLOWN away! If you've seen it on TV, then you know what I'm talking about. All the dancing...it must've taken YEARS to rehearse all that! I feel pride for my heritage; I'm a mix of different Chinese ethnicities. Both my parents are from Taiwan, both my grandmothers are also from Taiwan, but both my grandfathers were from China and left China to live in Taiwan (though my paternal grandfather is currently living with my family in the U.S.).<br /><br /><a href="http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/kysentha/?action=view&current=102_2734.jpg"><img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/kysentha/102_2734.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br />My maternal grandparents, when they were young.<br /><br /><a href="http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/kysentha/?action=view&current=102_2811.jpg"><img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/kysentha/102_2811.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br />My grandparents today, in ripe old age! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />Please refrain from any political issues or protests about Tibet here; I am not on anyone's side of this issue, and I respect both Tibetan and Chinese cultures, as they are both amazing and beautiful.<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/94093387/"><img src="http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs31/f/2008/220/8/6/Beijing_Olympics_stamp_by_BlackPeregrin.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><br /><br />I've been playing <i>Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games</i> on the Wii in honor of the Olympics.

                <description><![CDATA[ I gave myself an alternative name: Ophelia Knightshire. I merely thought it'd be fun to toy around with an alternative identity, and Ophelia Knightshire is a character I'm planning for a novel.<br />School's starting on the 25th of August for me. I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed on Friday, so I've been pretty sleepy since then. I'm supposed to relax for one whole week, which I suppose is nice, but I feel like I lack motivation...I haven't been doing much of anything productive, except for a little bit of work on a manga I HOPEFULLY can scan and post on here by next week. I've been craving Disney music (no, I'm not talking about Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, Disney Channel Stars, or all that JUNK *barfs* I'm talking about REAL Disney, like the classic and Renaissance films) and Beauty and the Beast metal.<br /><br />FEATURES OF THE WEEK<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/93562748/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs32/150/f/2008/215/7/d/chibi_miss_grave_by_linkitty.png" width="150" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/93561788/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs31/150/i/2008/215/5/d/January_by_Isis_Photography.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/93557676/"><img src="http://tn1-2.pv.deviantart.com/fs31/150/f/2008/215/7/f/7f237a4af9f2b71115fd10326ef85645.jpg" width="150" height="134" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/92789887/"><img src="http://tn1-5.pv.deviantart.com/fs31/150/i/2008/209/2/c/My_Last_Hope_by_PhoenixDreamAngel.jpg" width="150" height="118" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/70861065/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs24/150/f/2007/332/8/7/Dance_Practice_by_thedustyphoenix.jpg" width="124" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31116211/"><img src="http://tn1-4.pv.deviantart.com/fs10/150/i/2006/090/e/3/A_Little_Princess_by_LathronAniron.jpg" width="118" height="150" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/93811540/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs32/150/i/2008/217/4/2/Garden_by_MAMBO3.jpg" width="104" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><br />_________________________________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://g0th.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/0/g0th.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icong0th:" title="g0th"/></a> <a href="http://gothikromania.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gothikromania.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongothikromania:" title="gothikromania"/></a> <a href="http://vampirewriters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampirewriters.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampirewriters:" title="vampirewriters"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://thewritersnook.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thewritersnook.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthewritersnook:" title="thewritersnook"/></a> <a href="http://the-novelist-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/the-novelist-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthe-novelist-club:" title="the-novelist-club"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="av... ]]></description>

In the meantime, check out my artwork, take my poll, AND feast your eyes and mind on my features!^^<br /><br />In addition, I uploaded a new video to youtube yesterday. It's of Disney's <i>Beauty and the Beast</i> set to Cradle of Filth's <i>Nymphetamine</i> featuring Liv Kristine from the band Leaves' Eyes. It's here if you care to watch it.

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone!<br />I won 2nd place for the Technical Skill category at my school art show about a week ago! It's my highly detailed pen-and-ink artwork of a Venetian mask. I took a photo of it, but the quality of it is unworthy of a place in my Deviantart gallery, so I'm going to wait till I get it back at the end of the school year (which is a little less than 2 weeks later) to either scan it or take a good photo of it (the artwork is GIANT!) and post it on here. I'm so honored of the award...especially since the other winners are upperclassmen (sorry if I sound like I"m bragging!).<br />This summer, I'm planning to create more artwork (I've got another short manga in mind), paint some more, continue to practice drawing from life, improve as an artist, and since I've been taking quite a break from writing, I plan to write a lot more, too. I want to write a novel, and I'm doing my best to plan it out now. Last night, I stayed up late trying to develop my characters and start to plan out the plot...good thing I wasn't sleepy at school, though I was hesitant to get out of bed this morning.<br />Exams are coming up, and I'm SO busy! So many things to do! Wish me luck!<br /><br />___________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweeney-todd-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsweeney-todd-club:" title="sweeney-todd-club"/></a> <a href="http://vampires-unite.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampires-unite.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampires-unite:" title="vampires-unite"/></a> <a href="http://darkfashionshow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkfashionshow.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkfashionshow:" title="darkfashionshow"/></a> <a href="http://anime-manga-artists.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anime-manga-artists.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconanime-manga-artists:" title="anime-manga-artists"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://musicals.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/u/musicals.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmusicals:" title="musicals"/></a> <a href="http://cain-godchild-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/a/cain-godchild-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcain-godchild-club:" title="cain-godchild-club"/></a> <a href="http://halloween-town.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/a/halloween-town.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhalloween-town:" title="halloween-town"/></a> <a href="http://poetic-disturbance.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poetic-disturbance.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoetic-disturbance:" title="poetic-disturbance"/></a> <a href="http://taintedart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taintedart.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaintedart:" title="taintedart"/></a> <a href="http://metalovers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/metalovers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmetalovers:" title="metalovers"/></a> <a href="http://nightwishlovers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/i/nightwishlovers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnightwishlovers:" title="nightwishlovers"/></a> <a href="http://unseenartists.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/u/n/unseenartists.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconunseenartists:" title="unseenartists"/></a> <a href="http://snapefanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/n/snapefanclub.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsnapefanclub:" title="snapefanclub"/></a> <a href="http://diamondfantasies.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/diamondfantasies.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondiamondfantasies:" title="diamondfantasies"/></a> <a href="http:... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ugh, I have a headache...it's probably from the cookies I ate, and the scent of stupid cigarettes that some of the older guys from my school were smoking in the park when I was walking my dog. Bloody hell! If only cigarettes were BANNED from the universe...that'd help A LOT with global warming and pollution.<br /><br />Anyway, my artist's block is partially broken down. Yesterday, in art class, I finally painted for the first time in about half a year! I was in pure bliss; it really felt like the paintbrush and my hand were one...I felt like Sweeney Todd singing "My Friends" when he was reunited with his razors after being separated with them, along with his family, for 15 years. Even my teacher told me that she could tell I was in ecstasy and totally in my element. This is the art project I've enjoyed the most since the pen and ink project, which was one of my favorite projects of the whole year.<br />Last night, I was really frustrated with drawing, and it resulted with me working on this 2-page manga of a girl who has a heart-shaped lock on her chest, and she uses a key to unlock it, and the door, which is her stomach, swings open and releases imagination from within her. It's still a work in progress, and I went to bed past midnight because I was so engrossed in drawing it. Hope I can finish it and upload it on here soon.<br /><br />Enough writing for now; I'm going to play video games! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I've been separated from video games for almost 2 weeks now, thanks to dance rehearsals and performances.

                <description><![CDATA[ Since last week, I've been having dance rehearsals and dance performances at school. Our final performance was last night, and I'm glad that's over!<br />Like always, I'm aiming for straight A's. But I'm worried about my grade in Mandarin, because my teacher hasn't updated grades since the beginning of last month, and I don't know if I'm doing as well as I should be. And in science, I haven't really understood much of anything lately, and I don't want my grade to drop. In acapella, ever since my teacher had a divorce with his homosexual partner (according to rumors), he's a lot harsher with grading, and he takes it out on his students, and he's not as sweet and goofy and loving as he once was.<br />In English, every freshman has this huge project called the I-Search, where everyone chooses a topic, and they have to research it, write a whole bunch of papers, interview someone who's an expert on the topic, make a survey, and all that jazz. My topic is on how Pixar and Disney were affected when Disney bought Pixar. I'm working on my Media Search Paper on the computer, and my eyes are being friend from staring at the monitor for so long. I just typed that with my eyes closed. I meant to say "fried," not "friend," lol.<br />I'm tired...from quite a lot of things.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I can hardly believe it--during Spring Break, I have been able to complete the remaining 6 endings of Shadow the Hedgehog. Yesterday, I finished the 10 th ending; therefore, The Last Way, the true conclusion to Shadow's story, was unlocked. I played it.<br />In The Last Way, Shadow has obtained all 7 Chaos Emeralds--Black Doom orders him to hand them over, but Sonic and everybody else runs over and tells Shadow not to do it, and that Black Doom is going to use them to destroy the world. But Black Doom takes them anyway and Chaos Controls the Black Comet to Earth and paralyzes Sonic and everyone. So, Shadow has to go find Black Doom under 10 minutes. When you finish playing that level, Black Doom tells Shadow the connection between them, while Team Chaotix (Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, and Charmy Bee) are continuing to try to hack into the database, and Charmy, being the impudent, hyper little kid he is, rams the computer; in surprise, Team Chaotix cries out, "Hey, it's working!" A video of the late Professor Gerald Robotnik, Shadow's creator, and the grandfather of Maria, is shown to everyone around the world (so it seems), telling Shadow that Shadow is the only hope to save the world and mankind as we know it. Black Doom, angry that Shadow refuses to come to the dark side (as cheesy as it sounds, lol), has a battle with Shadow. With the 7 Chaos Emeralds, Shadow transforms into his super form, and flies off for a boss battle with Devil Doom.<br />So, in this boss level, you have to fly around, and shoot rings, because you lose one every second, and use Chaos Spear to injure Devil Doom. It's hard! But I made it through! And in the end, the world rejoices, the President and the GUN Commander realized how horribly they had treated the Professor when in the end, the Professor had actually saved them all, and Knuckles chases Dr. Eggman around. Shadow, aboard on the Ark, gazes at an old picture of the Professor and Maria and bids farewell to his past and walks away.<br />It's such a great game! I'm just sad that it's all over now...but I want to keep playing and make videos to upload on Youtube so I can help other people who are playing the game.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello, everyone! I haven't updated this journal in almost 2 months! Well, anyway, it's spring break, and I love it. I get to relax at home and play video games. Speaking of video games, my dad and I made a deal that over the break, I have to practice the SAT everyday and earn an hour of video gaming. I'm playing Shadow the Hedgehog, and I have completed 6 endings! 4 more endings to go! I've been playing Shadow the Hedgehog since the end of February break (since February 22), and my goal is to see all 10 different endings and unlock The Last Story. Oh, and beat the last story too. I'm almost done with my seventh ending, and I'm on the dark mission of Black Comet, which is hard! The farthest I've gotten was after grinding on the alien rail and getting on the saucer and floating towards the 3 annoying aliens who are blocking the passageway. It's so hard to kill them! And if I do kill all of them, then I lose my saucer (because they shot it to smithereens) and die. Well, I'll probably beat the dark mission tonight...I'll be mad if I don't. I've been through so many difficult levels, and I'm not going to let this level stop me! Not after seeing 6 endings!<br /><br />Hehe, sorry, you guys probably don't know what I'm talking about, unless if you play Shadow the Hedgehog too.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Tagged by <a href="http://chibi-shini.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/chibi-shini.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconchibi-shini:" title="chibi-shini"/></a>, who said that she tags whoever wants to to this.<br /><br />Rules:<br /><br />1. Post these rules:<br />2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves.<br />3. Tags should write a journal/blog of these facts.<br />4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named.<br />5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged.<br />(Me: I don't care for some of these rules)<br /><br />1ST FACT: I'd love to sleep in a coffin instead of a bed. But coffins are damn expensive, but I can daydream! It'd be nice and comfy, and maybe I'd sleep without the lid so that I'd have air to breathe.<br /><br />2ND FACT: The majority of my crushes are either fictional characters, or guys that I will never meet. For instance, from ages 8-10, I had a HUGE crush on Samurai Jack; at age 12, I had a crush on Johnny Depp for a couple of months during my obsessions with pirates, thanks to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl; from age 13 to now, I love D from Vampire Hunter D; and quite recently, I'm a bit infatuated with Shadow the Hedgehog (even though he's an animal! XD).<br /><br />3RD FACT: I don't mind being called Joey. My brother called me Joey a few times when he was younger, and my best friend calls me that from time to time. My real name is Josephine, by the way.<br /><br />4TH FACT: It saddens me that these days, people are always having pre-marital you-know-what. I think it's such a waste, and that it should be saved for that one person. Because if you do it all the time, then it's not going to be so special when you're married.<br /><br />5TH FACT: As much as I think so many digital art is gorgeous, I hate the fact that technology takes over the traditio"I nal way. I'd much rather work with pencils, pens, and markers than with photoshop. But I'll probably give digital art a try, though it's not my preferred medium.<br /><br />6TH FACT: I have a horrible temper.<br /><br />7TH FACT: As a little girl, I was SO freaking cute! Like a little fairy or angel! Back then, I kinda resembled Misaki from the manga "Blood Alone;" or you could say I looked like an asian Mary Weather from the manga "Godchild." Here's one pic of me:<a href="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/kysentha/img001.jpg?t=1203825520">[link]</a><br /><br />8TH FACT: I've written 2 novels, and one novella. The first novel I wrote at ages 12-13, the second at age 14. The novella was when I was 13.<br /><br />I TAG whoever wants to do this.<br />___________________________<br />CLUBS<br /><a href="http://severus-and-lily.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/severus-and-lily.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseverus-and-lily:" title="severus-and-lily"/></a> <a href="http://inblack-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/n/inblack-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconinblack-club:" title="inblack-club"/></a> <a href="http://hogwartsart.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/o/hogwartsart.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhogwartsart:" title="hogwartsart"/></a> <a href="http://sweeney-todd-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweeney-todd-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsweeney-todd-club:" title="sweeney-todd-club"/></a> <a href="http://vampires-unite.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/a/vampires-unite.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvampires-unite:" title="vampires-unite"/></a> <a href="http://darkfashionshow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkfashionshow.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkfashionshow:" title="darkfashionshow"/></a> <a href="http://anime-manga-artists.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anime-manga-artists.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconanime-manga-artists:" title="anime-manga-artists"/></a> <a href="http://disneydreamers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/i/disneydreamers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondisneydreamers:" title="disneydreamers"/></a> <a href="http://musicals.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/u/musicals.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmusicals:" title="musicals"/></a> <a href="http://cain-godchild-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/a/cain-godchild-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcain-godchild-club:" title="cain-godchild-club"/></a> <a href="http://halloween-town.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/a/halloween-town.gif" width="50" height="50" alt... ]]></description>
