                <description><![CDATA[ This is for my Secret Santa Wishlist!  Friends, please feel free to ignore this, since it's simply for the Secret Santa event that I am participating in for Senny.<br /><br />The female character I would like drawn is actually my friend's OC that was created for a story we were writing.  Here is Yuna from Eve of the Moon!<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Yoshimi-Ayumata.deviantart.com/art/Sexy-Yuna-122886600"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.net/fs44/150/i/2009/138/e/0/Sexy_Yuna_by_Yoshimi_Ayumata.jpg" width="138" height="150" /></a></span></span>  <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Yoshimi-Ayumata.deviantart.com/art/Werewolf-Yuna-19507021"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs7/150/i/2005/166/4/f/Werewolf_Yuna_by_Yoshimi_Ayumata.jpg" width="127" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><br />::Yuna::<br /><br />Sex: Female<br /><br />Race: Human/Werewolf (you can draw what you're comfortable with)<br /><br />Age: In her early 20's<br /><br />Hair Color: Brown<br /><br />Eye Color: Golden brown<br /><br />Body Type: Hourglass figure<br /><br />Height: 5'6"<br /><br />Likes: Sake, fighting, sake, sparing, fun, and did I mention Sake?<br /><br />Dislikes: Hopeless romantics (or at least she THINKS she dislikes them), Thunderstorms, fire<br /><br />Summary::  Yuna is a demon slayer who has been estranged from humanity.  After losing her entire family in a fire that engulfed her village, Yuna wanders around looking for odd jobs to pay for expenses such as food and Sake.  Her childhood friend, Okami, went missing after the fire in the village, and she assumes that he is dead.  One night, however, while wandering through the forest, Yuna was grabbed and bitten by something.  She was rescued by a fire demon named Jinke who not to her knowledge, has known her ever since before her village burned down.  (Love Triangle anyone?)<br /><br /><br /><br />The second one would be my character Jinke!  He is a fire demon, and a good looking one too <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Yoshimi-Ayumata.deviantart.com/art/Jinke-and-Yuna-19683034"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.net/fs7/150/i/2005/171/f/8/Jinke_and_Yuna_by_Yoshimi_Ayumata.jpg" width="109" height="150" /></a></span></span> (bad drawing from years ago)<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Yoshimi-Ayumata.deviantart.com/art/Jinke-sample-143329675"><img src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs51/150/f/2009/315/e/7/e75d773c9b88a6ad0514cee5dbd7f326.jpg" width="150" height="103" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://checkered-fadora.deviantart.com/art/Jinke-115363943"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/fs42/150/f/2009/111/7/d/7d163112bf6b8c205a4f9c9c94404f1a.png" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span> Commission from =<a class="u" href="http://checkered-fadora.deviantart.com/">checkered-fadora</a><br /><br />::Jinke::<br /><br />Sex: Male <br /><br />Race: Demon (fire)<br /><br />Age: He appears to be in his mid 20's<br /><br />Hair Color: Red<br /><br />Eye color: Golden<br /><br />Body Type: Muscular, toned, not "buff"<br /><br />Height: 6'10"<br /><br />Likes: Fire, Sake, Yuna, fun, sparing, relaxation<br /><br />Dislikes: Anyone who tries to threaten those he cares about<br /><br />Summary: Jinke is a carefree demon with little to no worries.  He grew up with his childhood friend Okami, a little human boy who would go to the demon slayer village daily and play with the then known as Mayou (yuna).  Jinke would watch over them as they played, and after the village fire he never saw Okami again. He met yuna again later in life, and realized later that it was little Mayou from the village years ago.  He starts to fall for her, and eventually ends up protecting her from the once thought dead Okami, who is back with a vengence.<br /><br /><br /><br />There is also a third option, and that would be Okami.  Now, I don't have many pictures of him drawn out, but he is a werewolf with blue hair that hangs over his face.  Here are a few samples, but they're not the greatest.  Just be inventive with it if you choose to draw him.  Again, this is my friend's OC also in this story, but I love him just as much and would LOVE it if he were drawn.  <br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Yoshimi-Ayumata.deviantart.com/art/Inuyasha-RP-Pic-100075601"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.net/fs36/150/f/2008/281/b/f/Inuyasha_RP_Pic_by_Yoshimi_Ayumata.jpg" width="130" height="150" /></a></span></span>  (he's the dude in the bottom right corner with the blue hair, although his hair should hang more to one side, and be shorter on the other.)<br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://Yoshimi-Ayumata.deviantart.com/art/Jinke-and-Ok... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I need to know who is and who isn't available this weekend to decide whether or not I'll be up or not.  <a href="http://starfishey.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/t/starfishey.gif" alt=":iconstarfishey:" title="starfishey"/></a> already said she's available but I need to know from the rest of you.  I may go down anyway to spend some time with ~<a class="u" href="http://starfishey.deviantart.com/">starfishey</a> either way, but I just want to make sure that everyone will be available especially since I let you know about 3 or more weeks ago.  Please let me know!  I'll send all of the friends that I'm going to be close to a note with my phone number with the exception of ~<a class="u" href="http://starfishey.deviantart.com/">starfishey</a> and =<a class="u" href="http://thedark7.deviantart.com/">TheDark7</a> so everyone else will need to let me know.<br /><br />If you two mention above could just drop a hint to <a href="http://kida-yuri.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/k/i/kida-yuri.jpg" alt=":iconkida-yuri:" title="kida-yuri"/></a> and <a href="http://textile-goddess.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/e/textile-goddess.gif?1" alt=":icontextile-goddess:" title="textile-goddess"/></a> then that would be great.<br /><br /><br />Thanks everyone.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So it's pretty much been determined that if I do come up next weekend that I'd be coming up alone.  But there is one thing that is stopping me from coming up though.  If I do come up, I don't know if everyone has gotten the time off of work or has the time to see me.  I've let everyone know, but I haven't heard about it from anyone, and no one has told me if they're going to be available.  I've kept my part of the deal and let everyone know what's happening and when, but no one has let me know if that plan works or not.  So please people, let me know.  Because this is the last chance this year that I'm going to have to come down.  Unless Sogen Con is in Sioux Falls again like it was last year and friends plan to come down again (I saw Mike at it last year <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />) then I won't see anyone untill at least around May-June of next year.  Anyhow, please let me know people because right now I have no clue what's going on... <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />EDIT: It looks as if Sogen con was earlier this month here in Sioux Falls, so it looks like this con is a Sioux Falls Con.  Maybe you guys can come down here next year instead of Anime Iowa.  At least you'd have a place to stay all weekend and wouldn't have to pay for a hotel room <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have the date officially set for September 5.  If that doesn't work, then I'm not comming up at all.  Sorry, I am sick of not knowing when Steve's brother will be here or not.  If I have to, I'll come up by myself.   Just you all know and can mark your calenders.<br /><br />SEPTEMBER 5TH IS THE LAST CHANGE. THIS IS THE FINAL DATE.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

My first class of the day is Speech and the teacher is great.  She's absolutely awesome and she really knows how to get people to listen.  I am so glad that got her as a teacher rather then some decrepit old man who grades you based on how you speech is written rather then how you're presenting it.  Also, she formally gave people permission to ignore her and play on their laptops.<br /><br />The second class is Computer Essentials.  Basically all you do in this class is learn the basic programs of Microsoft Windows.  Like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ect.  This class is... boring... But at least it's easy.  I can pretty much sleep in this class and pass.  The instructor is cool though, and since he also does stuff with the Mac's, then he's able to help out if I need the assistance.<br /><br />The next rotation starts out with Composition.  This class is as easy as speech.  Our assignment the other day was to write an introductory essay on one topic from a list.  I started late on it and still finished with plenty of time.  <br /><br />Last class on the rotation is Psychology.  This is a class that comes naturally for me.  The teacher is amazing and is probably my favorite so far.  He spent fifteen minutes in class on Thursday talking about the movie StepBrothers.  He is probably the most hilarious teacher I have yet.  I can't wait to see what he has in store for us next time.<br /><br />Overall, classes are great and I had no idea that it would be this easy.  I absolutely love it and I wish that I had done this so much sooner.  I'm glad that I started when I did.<br /><br />The only downside to all of this elation, is that my work refuses to let up on the school situation an has thwarted any attempt at part time.    I just hope that there is a solution there in the future.<br /><br />Love you guys!<br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><br />-------------------------------<br /><br /><br />.:+:.SKETCH COMISSIONS.:+:.<br />1.

I was pissed and I'm better now.  The tech guy let me pick up the laptop after hours when he had finished fixing it since I work past closing time so that made me very happy.  I'm glad he was willing to deal with my stubborn set of mind.  I really should kick myself but it's fine now.  I feel alot better now that I have a chance to get some quality time with it to learn the system a bit better.  <br /><br /><br />Later:<br /><br />So I just got back from school and now it's back to work for the next 4hrs.  I hate having to work the split.  I feel exhausted at the end of the day and it makes me feel like I'll burn out faster then I would if I only has a part time job.  But of course, the company doesn't want me to go part time because they need help for the January month.  I'm exhausted even as we speak and I can hardly function.  I really hope that this doesn't compromise my school work....<br /><br /><br />Even Later:<br /><br />So it's about an hour away till I get to go home and the phone ques are starting to build up again.  Blah.  I really don't like my job anymore.  I mean, I have day/nightmares that I'm going to grow old and be stuck inside this hell they call a call center.  That I shall be forever doomed to sit at a desk my entire life, typing and talking away to the patients that shall forever haunt the depths of my ear canals... That's about how I see it.  THIS is the reason I decided to go back to school.  Thank you GOD for being nice enough to let me do that much without destroying what I already have.<br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><br />-------------------------------<br /><br /><br />.:+:.SKETCH COMISSIONS.:+:.<br />1.

MAKE SURE TO NOTE OR E-MAIL ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER HITTING IT!  YOU CAN E-MAIL ME AT:<br /><br />x.soapzie.x@gmail.com<br /><br /><div align="left"><br /><br />So orientation went well.  It explained alot about the steps that need to be taken to secure my financial aid and grants.  I was going to apply for a scholoship through the school, but I don't think that I would be even close with the grades that I got in High School.  The best thing though about the school is that, because I'm not transfering any classes over to Southeast Tech from high school, I don't have to have any sort of transcripts.  BEST thing ever.  After paying a $50 "metriculation fee" (honestly I think that's there way of disguising an admission fee and telling us that it's actually a fee for testing out of one of our classes and that we can't use our financial aid to pay for it.) I have been awarded my financial aid and am awaiting my letter confirming that so that I may return it and get the moneies for real.  I'm not exactly looking forward  towards getting a Mac Book Pro laptop, mainly because I've hardly ever used them. The only time where my school soley ran on Macs was when I lived in St. Cloud, Minnesota.  In junior high and even high school, the schools used all macs.  I believe there may have been maybe a couple of PCs, but not that I ever noticed.  Basically all I'm saying that it's been a while and I'm not sure how hard it will be to relearn the system all over again.  I guess that I'll have a couple of weeks to get used to it before classes actually start but I just hope that it won't slow me down.<br /><br />On another note, almost every job that I apply for has turned me down.  Every interview I attend and every application I submit.  Everything has been turned down.  I don't know what's wrong with me... I mean, I've been at this job for over a year now and I STILL can't get a decent job.  I mean, GOD.  A YEAR!  ISN'T THIS AN IMPRESSIVE FEAT FOR A 20 YEAR OLD ABOUT TO START COLLEGE?!?!  I mean REALLY.  All I want is a good paying job that I can make decent money with while going to school.  I don't even care if it's part time.  I just want something... I'm currently tring to go part time at the moment, but I'm not sure if even that will be an option with my work place.  I mean, I couldn't even get overnights because they think I might just up and quit or  be absent one too many times.  I go home for my son and this is what I get.  They knew DAMN well why I went home that night.  There was no reason to give me a warning for it.  And now because of that I can't even switch shifts.  I doubt that they'll even let me do it for school.  Bastards... I don't think that I'll have any other choice aside from getting a new job.  It's just really discouraging when every job opprotunity that I apply for goes and turns me down before I even have a chance to have an interview or a chance to prove myself.  Am I really that unhireable?  I'm so sick of looking for a job right now that it's getting to be a bit ridiculous for me.  Hopefully I can find something soon... Right now, I just don't have any hopes.<br /><br />So Markus had his 4th check-up today, and his final round of shots until June 15, 2009.  I bet he's happy about that.  When he gets his shots, he screams as if someone is stabbing him  It's heart breaking.  I feel bad that I can't be there with him when he gets them done, but I have to work and there is no way around that.  Steve is home on the days that we scheule his apointments so at least he's there.  <br /><br />Speaking of which, I'll be posting some pictures of Markus soon.  They'll be of him in his Santa suit.  I found one while grocery shopping at Wal-Mart and I just had to buy it.  He looks so adorable that it makes me want to just squeaze him tightly and give him big bear hugs!  But.. that might hurt him at this time.<br /><br />And in other news, my father pretty much no longer exists to... ]]></description>

I had been planning on having around $200 and was going to get some of my christmas shopping out of the way, however it didn't end up that way.  I really only ended up having around $130 dollars that I was going to be free to spend, and on top of that I had to by christmas decorations as well.  So instead of spending $200 on christmas presents, I spent $125 on a Christmas tree, lights, beads (garland), stockings, plastic christmas bulbs, a felt tree skirt, and a little plush snowman for Markus that said "My First Christmas" on the tummy.  So to resolve my problems this time around, I plan on paying all the bills that I can possibly think of this payday, and then have almost 100% of my check comming the day before Christmas (I kid you not) and buying all the christmas presents that I can afford.  I am not looking forward to getting Steve's however.  He wants a bowling ball (they cost around $200 -$300)and I don't know if I really want to spend that much.  But it's what he wants.  As for Markus, there are so many things I want to get him.  It's just hard to look because I want to get him things he can use now, but then again I should get him things he can use now and later.  I plan to buy at least $100 in clothes for him alone.  I want to make sure he has plenty of things to wear once he up and moving around. <br /><br />This last Wednesday we went grocery shopping at Walmart and I saw this really cute Santa suit for baby boys and I immediately bought it.  Markus looks adorable in it!  I'll post pictures once I get my camera back (I left it in Watertown at Steve's Grandma's house >.&gt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />.  On top of that I also got my mother's christmas present.  It's a Budwiser mug with the clydesdale horses on it.  My mother is absolutely obsessed with horses so I figure that she should like it quite a bit.  I think that I also might get her something useful.  Perhaps some hair things or a cozy pair of slippers.  Who knows.  I think that she might appreciate some blank CD's more though.  <br /><br />So this comming Friday is orientation for school.  FINALLY!  I am extremely excited to be going back to school, and better yet it's for something that I'm interested in.  I'll be doing generals first this year.  I have to do Composition, Computer Essentials, Fundamentals of Speech, Psychology 101, and one Social Science Elective.  That won't AS fun as when I actually start the program.  However, that won't be untill fall though.  I am excited though about the amount of money that I'll be recieving from the government as grants.  My first semester will only be around $500-$700 and I'm going to be getting over $2,000.  I'm psyched because a good portion of that money is going to be awarded to me for living expenses when I already am working full time and am living with another person who also is working full time and makes more than I am.  This is a good feeling.  That means I pretty much will not have to worry about student loans or any sort of debt due to schooling costs.  <br /><br />Anyhow, here's what classes I'll be in each semester once the actual Program starts: <br /><br />1st Semester - Fall Semester: <br />1. Graphic Design for Animation<br />2. Animation Essentials I<br />3. Motion Graphics I<br />4. 3D Animation I<br /><br />2nd Semester - Spring Semester:<br />1. Animation Essentials II<br />2. Motion Graphics II<br />3. 3D Animation II<br />4. 3D Modeling I<br /><br />3rd Semester - Fall Semester:<br />1. Animation Essentials III<br />2. Motion Graphics III<br />3. 3D Animation III<br />4. 3D Modeling II<br /><br />4th Semester - Spring Semester<br />1. Motion Graphics IV<br />2. Animation Studio<br />3. 3D Modeling III<br /><br />Yay!  I can hardly wait xD<br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><br />-------------------------------<br /><b... ]]></description>

The e-mail itself was from a familiar name.  Jason Stob. So he finally got into a sort of "management" position of sorts, eh?  Good for him though.  He deserves it.  Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the convention more than ever now.  I wonder what the future shall bring ^-^<br /><br />Also, I've made some changes on the Chibi commissions so feel free to take a look.  <br /><br />Also I'm excited for this weekend.

You can find the link to her page VIA my friends list.  Read this as it may end up impacting us all.<br /><br /><br />remember a while ago there was this talk about the orphan work act that's in progress to be passed by the congress? Since many professional artists (including independent film maker, photographer, illustrator, designer, etc) are worried and are against this act, I went to find out more about this issue.<br /><br />In short, here is what's going on...<br /><br />Good side if it gets passed:<br />Documentary film makers, museums, educators, etc. can finally make use of various works that may be so old and difficult to find its copyright owner.<br /><br /><br />Bad side if it gets passed:<br /><br />Owners of visual content (meaning artist, film maker, designer, etc) will have to register and pay for EVERY SINGLE work in a not-yet-existing-online database, just so people can find you if they want to use your work. The good old copyright law in which the moment you create something in a tangible form, it's copyrighted...this law won't work anymore. No one will be protected. <br /><br />Big corporations like Google, Disney, etc. can make use any work (art/design/film) they find on the internet "legally" and make money off of it. They don't need to worry about people suing them because 9 out of 10 won't even bother to go through the hassle. There is nothing you can do to big corporations, at the most, you might get a bit of compensation and that's it.<br /><br />This whole thing just sound so bizzare! so I went to the government's official website, hoping to get some detail about this that makes sense....but....to my surprise, even the government sounds ridiculous!!<br /><br />From the US government copyright website:<br />"A user does not qualify for the benefits of orphan works legislation unless he first conducts a good ememberfaith, reasonably diligent (but unsuccessful) search for the copyright owner."<br /><br />...uh, ok, can someone tell me...<br />how do you prove GOOD FAITH in court?<br /><br />I can understand some of the benefit from this orphan work act, but...they fail to specify things so that artists like us can be protected. The worse case, no one would want to share their artworks online anymore, fearing their works may get stolen. O__O<br /><br /><br />You can read about this orphan work act here [link]<br /><br />AND PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND IT BENEFICIAL....<br /><br />"Artist" is a very small percentage compared to the entire population, but that doesn't mean artists don't deserve any respect. Our opinions can't even compare to those rich people lobbying for this orphan work act...=__=<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo119/soapzie/Untitled-2.gif" alt="My Header"></img><br />Do you like cute and adorable chibi's?<br />Prices located here: <a href="http://yoshimi-ayumata.deviantart.com/journal/20700167/">[link]</a><br />~.:+:.Chibi Waitlist.:+:.~<br />1.<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br />5.<br />-------------------------<br />~KIRIBAN 3333~<br />MAKE SURE TO SCREENCAP IT AND SEND IT TO ME</div></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></div> ]]></description>

He's <a href="http://alanbecker.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/alanbecker.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconalanbecker:" title="alanbecker"/></a>, and on the main page you'll see his deviation, <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/34244097/"><img src="http://fc73.deviantart.com/fs15/i/2007/077/5/2/Animator_vs__Animation_by_alanbecker.gif" width="100" height="100" /></a></span></span>. This deviation is hillarious, creative, and imaginative.  We all must strive for this greatness! (some of you already have!)<br /><br />Also to be featured in this journal::<br /><br />1.<a href="http://yunako.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yunako.png?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyunako:" title="yunako"/></a> Cause you do great art, despite what you think.<br /><br />2.<a href="http://thedark7.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thedark7.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthedark7:" title="thedark7"/></a> Because your photography skillz are amazing, and your pale skin only amplifies that!<br /><br />3.<a href="http://checkered-fadora.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/checkered-fadora.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcheckered-fadora:" title="checkered-fadora"/></a>  Some of you may already know her, but don't call her by her old name!  She is now known as Senny. Her amazing gay fabulous art is beautifuly drawn as well as risque.<br /><br />4.<a href="http://legendaryfrog.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/e/legendaryfrog.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconlegendaryfrog:" title="legendaryfrog"/></a> Need I say more?<br /><br />5.<a href="http://zelda994612.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/z/e/zelda994612.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconzelda994612:" title="zelda994612"/></a> Above all features, hers are truly worth every feature she gets.  Her art is so amazingly beautiful.  I truly admire her skill and abilities.  Zelda, I wish I could be just like you! *admirer*<br /><br />6.<a href="http://kida-yuri.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/i/kida-yuri.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkida-yuri:" title="kida-yuri"/></a> And I can't forget her!  I love her artwork, realistic and non-relistic drawings.  And even though she hasn't posted in a LONG time, I still love her <3<br /><br /><br />Worship these people properly please!  And I mean on your KNEES!!<br /><br /><br />If anyone has any more suggestions for features on artworks, let me know!<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo119/soapzie/Untitled-2.gif" alt="My Header"></img><br />Do you like cute and adorable chibi's?<br />Prices located here: <a href="http://yoshimi-ayumata.deviantart.com/journal/20700167/">[link]</a><br />~.:+:.Chibi Waitlist.:+:.~<br />1.<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br />5.<br />-------------------------<br />~KIRIBAN 3333~<br />MAKE SURE TO SCREENCAP IT AND SEND IT TO ME</div></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></div> ]]></description>

I have my supervisor looking into a weekend overnight option, but I just hope that it will go over well.  I was really counting on this and now I don't know what to do.  <br /><br />I know of some places that I could work here in town, and they do have overnights.. I just wasn't planning on switching jobs, not when I'm so comfortable here.  I mean, I have a decent job and I'm settled here.  I know the people, I know the systems, and best of all I work with Steve.  <br /><br />Things just haven't been going my way... I mean, even for someone who is planning on going back to school... they weren't even willing to budge... <br /><br /><br />More updates as I find more out.  We shall see where the road takes us.<br /><br />PS: Mood icon, again, is wrong.

I look forward to our table of win.  Plushies and prints?  Who wouldn't be attracted? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  I personally think that this will be a great combination at the table and that it clearly shows some diversity.  Diversity is good!  <br /><br />Anyhow, in other news, still no word regarding my schedule. They need to let me know by today, per my supervisor, but still no word.  I really hope to see something soon though.  I want my schedule changed as soon as possible!  I don't want to have to go to a new schedule and then have to go to school the next day.  Anyhow, I need to concentrate here at work >.><br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo119/soapzie/Untitled-2.gif" alt="My Header"></img><br />Do you like cute and adorable chibi's?<br />Prices located here: <a href="http://yoshimi-ayumata.deviantart.com/journal/20700167/">[link]</a><br />~.:+:.Chibi Waitlist.:+:.~<br />1.<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br />5.<br />-------------------------<br />~KIRIBAN 3333~<br />MAKE SURE TO SCREENCAP IT AND SEND IT TO ME</div></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></div> ]]></description>

My mood is not euphoric.. It's "unheard".  I'm at work and can't change the mood icon...<br /><br />So, I don't feel special today.  I should, but I don't.  I guess it's because everyone I know seems to have amnesia.  I guess we'll find out, won't we?<br /><br />Anyhow, I'm still very eager in finding a table mate.  I mean, if ANYONE wants to share a table, it will be very welcomed.  I don't want to be a lonley toaster :<.<br /><br />Hey, <a href="http://thedark7.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thedark7.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthedark7:" title="thedark7"/></a>, you should share the table with me.  Or, find someone who would want to... I really really REALLY wants a table mate.  <br /><br />So please, even if you are a stranger to me... If you plan on going to Anime Detour, tell me.  We will share a table of win.<br /><br />Anyhow, if anyone's amnesia clears up let me know.  It's no fun when people don't remember things. <br /><br />:<<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo119/soapzie/Untitled-2.gif" alt="My Header"></img><br />Do you like cute and adorable chibi's?<br />Prices located here: <a href="http://yoshimi-ayumata.deviantart.com/journal/20700167/">[link]</a><br />~.:+:.Chibi Waitlist.:+:.~<br />1.<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br />5.<br />-------------------------<br />~KIRIBAN 3333~<br />MAKE SURE TO SCREENCAP IT AND SEND IT TO ME</div></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></div> ]]></description>

That means that now, you have to go.  I'm specifically speaking to:<br /><br /><a href="http://yunako.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yunako.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyunako:" title="yunako"/></a><br /><a href="http://thedark7.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thedark7.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthedark7:" title="thedark7"/></a><br /><a href="http://kida-yuri.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/i/kida-yuri.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkida-yuri:" title="kida-yuri"/></a><br /><a href="http://kinaa.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/i/kinaa.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkinaa:" title="kinaa"/></a><br /><br /><br />Did anyone but me see that the price went up by $5? and $10 at the door? WTF... Money hungry arses xD.<br /><br />So with that done, I need to decide if I'll bring Markus along for the ride.  My mom already said that she would go with me that weekend so she can see her sister, but who will watch Markus remains a mystery.  I'll probably have him go up with her.  I'm not sure if I'd want to bring him to the convention with me as I'm not sure that he would enjoy it that much.  <br /><br />I may try and dress up next year, otherwise I'll go as myself.  Does anyone have any suggestions for me?  I'm not sure who I would or could dress up as.  Nothing too complicated being as I do need to actually make the costume by hand.  Hopefully I can secure a sewing machine for when I can go.  I guess I could always try making a new obi for my kimono and just wear that again.  I'll decide later when the time gets closer.<br /><br />Oh and yunako, we should see about getting a hotel room toghether.  I don't care how many people are in it, I'll sleep on the floor if I have to.  Let mw know.<br /><br />Anyhow, going home now.  Luffs~~<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo119/soapzie/Untitled-2.gif" alt="My Header"></img><br />Do you like cute and adorable chibi's?<br />Prices located here: <a href="http://yoshimi-ayumata.deviantart.com/journal/20700167/">[link]</a><br />~.:+:.Chibi Waitlist.:+:.~<br />1.<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br />5.<br />-------------------------<br />~KIRIBAN 3333~<br />MAKE SURE TO SCREENCAP IT AND SEND IT TO ME</div></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></div> ]]></description>

So I just wanted to say sorry and that I'm still sending it over to you to color.  I didn't mean to do it, but I felt motivated and wanted to do something.  I even soft shaded this one.  I really like what I've done with it.  I may add more to the lineart even but I haven't quite decided.  I'm thinking about taking this to the next level as far as detail is concerned, and I may even offer full body drawing as part of my comissions after this.  Anyhow, leaving work now so I should be home soon.<br /><br />Luffs~<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo119/soapzie/Untitled-2.gif" alt="My Header"></img><br />Do you like cute and adorable chibi's?<br />Prices located here: <a href="http://yoshimi-ayumata.deviantart.com/journal/20700167/">[link]</a><br />~.:+:.Chibi Waitlist.:+:.~<br />1.<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br />5.<br />-------------------------<br />~KIRIBAN 3333~<br />MAKE SURE TO SCREENCAP IT AND SEND IT TO ME</div></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></div> ]]></description>

Well it went really well and I ended up testing out of math, and the only english class I'll have to take is English Comp 101, which won't bother me since I enjoy writing anyhow.  I'm really glad about the whole math thing though.  I can't stand math and I feel if I had been forced into another math related classroom, my passing the class would be a matter of will, of which I have none for that subject.  <br /><br />In other news, I am so ungodly tired today you have no idea.  If only Steve wouuld have let me sleep last night, then maybe I'd be more awake.  BUT NO, instead it's like, "Shex plz," and I'm just like, "sleep please...zZZZzzzz."  And he gets all butthurt at me if I bother him at night by talking to him when I can't sleep, but noooo.  Guys suck sometimes xD.<br /><br />Anyhow, I have to get back to work... Ugh I wanna go hooooome D:<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo119/soapzie/Untitled-2.gif" alt="My Header"></img><br /><br />~.:+:.Chibi Waitlist.:+:.~<br />1.<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br />5.<br />-------------------------<br />~KIRIBAN 3333~<br />MAKE SURE TO SCREENCAP IT AND SEND IT TO ME</div></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></div> ]]></description>

I'm not sure who it was from, and I certainly did not order anything recently.  I had a suspicion that it was from <a href="http://checkered-fadora.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/checkered-fadora.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcheckered-fadora:" title="checkered-fadora"/></a>'s raffle contest, but I don't think that she'd send someone the first three books of Loveless completely written in Japanese.  Thus I am puzzled as to where it came from, or rather, who it was suppossed to go to if not myself.  In any case, if after thirty days pass and no one claims them, I shall consider selling them on e-bay.  I mean, I already have the books in english, and I don't plan on learning japanese any time soon, so why keep them?  If anyone would like them, at a price of course, just let me know.  I don't need them.<br /><br />So on Saturday I'm off to Southeast Tech to take a test they call the COMPASS test.  It's aparently a basic skills test.  Reading comprehension, basic math, and things like that.  I'm not dreading it or anything.  I have at least that much knowledge somewhere in that tiny brain of mine.  After that I'll be doing study courses untill the spring semester begins.  Then the pressure is on.  Hopefully I can last the classes.  It shouldn't be to bad, and I'm actually looking forward to moving on in my career.  I definately can't see myself working for a call center all my life.<br /><br />In other news, I would like it if some people could go ahead and give me some drawing ideas.  I want to test myself to see what I can come up with, so any ideas are welcome.  My drawing of these ideas shall come without a price, since they're only for practice.  Let me know.<br /><br />So I think I'll be moving to overnights soon.  I'm acutally really excited since most of my night won't consist of taking phone calls but rather answering customers e-mails.  I think that would be nice since I can listen to music as well while I'm doing it.  I'll have to get a radio to bring to work to keep at my desk.<br /><br />Anyhow, that's all for tonight.  I look forward to challenging requests for my practice.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo119/soapzie/Untitled-2.gif" alt="My Header"></img><br /><br />~.:+:.Chibi Waitlist.:+:.~<br />1.<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br />5.<br />-------------------------<br />~KIRIBAN 3333~<br />MAKE SURE TO SCREENCAP IT AND SEND IT TO ME</div></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></div> ]]></description>

I opted for the samller one since when I zoom in to trace pencil lines or color, I have to make long strokes to make it look semi-straight.  Well, it's a lot harder to do it with a bigger working space than it is doing it on a smaller space, thus my reason for swapping.  Another good thing about it is that I spend $100 less on the thing, saving me some money.<br /><br />So I posted my new Comissions ad on the forums, so hopefully that will be noticed.  I just hope that people are willing to buy my artwork >.>...  I know I'm not great... But I wonder if maybe I'm charging too much...  I hope not.<br /><br />Anyhow, I need to start getting ready for bed.  I'm hitting the sack as soon as Steve gets here.  I need to rest up for tomorrow.  I'm soo tired T-T<br /><br />See ya later peoples.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo119/soapzie/Untitled-2.gif" alt="My Header"></img><br /><br />~.:+:.Chibi Waitlist.:+:.~<br />1.<br />2.<br />3.<br />4.<br />5.</div></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></img></div> ]]></description>

I've been eying the "Puddle Bunnies" calender, and I think that it would make a great addition to my desk at work next year.  Anyhow, I'll be doing a little fundraiser of my own to raise the money to buy it.  It'll be a sort of birthday present to myself.  If this proves to be somewhat lucrative, I may keep it up and use the extra monies to get other things I so desire.  Anyhow, here's my idea.<br /><br />I am now starting commisions.  These commisions will not be for extremely elegant and detailed pieces of artwork, but for cute little chibi characters of yourself or an OC (or of an anime character of choice).  All I requre is that you give me a reference of what you or your character should look like, or a color scheme of a random chibi.  So with that, I will ask that Anyone who plans on ordering a chibi, to please either reply to this journal containing a link to their so desired reference, or note me with the information.  Ordering details below.<br /><br /><br />COST: $3.00 per Single Chibi<br />      $5.00 for a Couple or Duo (or up to 4)<br />      $10.00 for five or more<br />      $0.50 for backgrounds or a free background when purchasing two or more.<br /> <br />Chibi Name:<br />Reference Pic: <br />Any Special Weapons?:<br />Pose: <br />Attitude: <br />Anything else:<br /><br />The chibi's themselves can contain as little or as much detail as you want them to.  Please don't be afraid to test me.<br /><br />Please make Paypal transfers to (x.soapzie.x@gmail.com)<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />[EDIT]: Example located here: <a href="http://yoshimi-ayumata.deviantart.com/art/Muffins-and-Biskuits-99087757">[link]</a><br /><br />I shall create two examples from <a href="http://thedark7.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thedark7.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthedark7:" title="thedark7"/></a> and <a href="http://yunako.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yunako.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyunako:" title="yunako"/></a> by the end of tonight.

They really need to have something on here that autosaves the last draft for you.<br /><br />Anyhow, I've been feeling extremely lethargic lately.  I'm always tired and I feel as if I just want to crawl into a ball every night and just fall asleep for hours on end.  It's going to be interesting to see how going back to school effects me.  I mean, right now life is just tiring.  I know that I should try to pay more attention to Markus, however it's hard when all I want to do is go and hide in a hole somewhere.  I'm going to start taking my vitamins that I've been neglecting and hopefully that helps.  It's probably just an Iron defficiancy.<br /><br />In other news, I'm going to be going back to school.  I'm going to be attending Southeast Technical Institue for Animation Technology.  Hopefully it'll be fun.  I think it suits me well enough.  If I decide to go any further than that, it'll have to be a a different college, a 4-year one.  My only hope is that my job is understanding enough to understand my schedule req and preferences.  I put in to work overnights, now it's only a matter of whether or not they'll approve them for me before I actually have to attend school and sign up for classes.  Anyhow, I hope things all go well with that.  If not, I may be looking for a different job... and I can't necesarily get a different job right now.  <br /><br />Moving onwawrd, I've actually been quite anxious lately.   In just a few weeks, <a href="http://thedark7.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thedark7.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthedark7:" title="thedark7"/></a> and <a href="http://yunako.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yunako.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyunako:" title="yunako"/></a> are comming down to visit me!  This will be the first time in over 3 years that I have seen either of them.  It's very exciting to know that I'm going to be able to hang out with two of my greatest friends for the first time in years, I just hope it doesn't get akward.  You know when you've been apart for so long and they've changed so much and you all get together and end up just making small talk and then feeling as if you could just dissapear?  Yeah... I don't want that to happen to me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />.<br /><br />One of my other concerns is that I really hope they like Steve.  I mean, as crazy as he is, I hope that he doesn't scare them away!  Hopefully he hasn't dyed his goatee pink by then in tribute the the dead guitarist from Pantera, "Dimebag Daryl".  I swear sometimes that he's obsessed with them but I have no proof really.  But I guess if he does do it, it's my fault since I bought the dye.<br /><br />Lastly, I've been wanting to buy alot of manga recently.  This is mostly due to my failure in being drawn for <a href="http://checkered-fadora.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/checkered-fadora.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcheckered-fadora:" title="checkered-fadora"/></a>'s drawing to win a BJD or something from her vast selection of yaoi or shojo manga.  So, because I failed to win manga, I feel as though my collection is empty and I want more.  Heh, I guess it's my fault for getting my hopes up.  I want to get Mars... and I also want the new season of Confidential Confessions... and when are they going to start releasing the last few books of DNAngel?!?  Also, if anyone knows of any other good titlees that I might like, please tell me.  By the way, I'm currently reading Loveless... is this suppossed to be a boy on boy type manga?  I can't tell.  Some of their attitudes suggeset so, but I haven't decieded yet xD.<br /><br />Anyhow, let me know about other good titles!!<... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I'm currently at work right now.  It's extremely slow.  But, that could be due to the fact that it's almost 6:45AM and also the holiday weekend.  I've been here since 12:00AM this morning and I've taken a total of... 5 calls.  OMG WOW IT'S SO EFFING SLOW.  Heh, but this is overtime, plus holiday pay, plus I get 8hrs of vacation for working the holiday.  Sweet.  It's nice getting paid to do absolutely nothing <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />.<br /><br />So I recently bought a Wacom tablet and now I know why people love them so much.  It's so nice being able to draw on the computer now and actually have it come out half decent.  I mean, wow.  It's such an upgrade from the mouse... I may never use one again.  As for how I paid for it.. Well I actually applied for a Best Buy CC and was approved for $1,300.  I plan to pay $100 every payday till I pay off what I put on it already.  When that's done, I want to get a nice TV.  My mom has been asking me to get her a PS3 with it and then to let her pay me back... I haven't decided if I want to yet... I don't know if I trust her that much >.>;<br /><br />I also got a printer/scanner/copier/fax along with a DS and some games for it.  I didn't really need it.. but I wanted one..<br /><br />...I just got call #6 at 6:44AM... Still very slow but somewhat starting to pick up.<br /><br />...another one....<br /><br />Wow, two calls in less than 10 minutes..<br /><br />I'm sick... I am coughing, sneezing, and sniffly.  I hate feeling like this... Why did I come to work again? T-T..  Anyhow.. CIAO my lovelies.<br /><br />P.S. Jenny, if you read this, I wanna collab wit you.  And Andrea too.  Just so you know <3<br /><br /><br />BTW: I'm not pissed... It's just that I can't change the mood icon on the work computer <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ SO.  I'm pissed off.  Just a warning.  <br /><br />First off, my doctor and I had planned for me to come in yesterday night to get set up and ready to be induced by early this morning.  So I call in yesterday to let her know that I'm still wanting to do so, and then I get told that I can't go in till this morning... FINE I GUESS.  I mean, it would have meant nothing different really as far as when I was going to be induced because it was still going to be this morning right?  WRONG.  I get a call at 6:45AM this morning stating that I now can't go in till after 1:00PM AND I have to call in first to make sure that they have the available staffing and the room.  So while I'm sitting here in discomfort and pain whenever I move my hips/feet/legs, all the stupid hospitals nurses and doctors that could be there today helping people are too busy seeing Sheryl Crow at the Arena today because this weekend just happens to be a two-day party that the hospital is throwing for all of it's employees.<br /><br />I have just three words to say to this.<br /><br /><br />FUCK.YOU.SANFORD.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm alive!  I actually don't have much to write about today.  Hmm...<br /><br /><br />Well an update on me since the last time I wrote in 2006...<br /><br />I am now 19 years old, almost 20.  I live with my awesome boyfriend here in SuFu, SD and working a full time job at a mail order pharmacy.  Just boringness really.<br /><br />However, during my absence I have become a mommy... Almost.  I'm due in 4 weeks so hopefully me being home for 6weeks will make it easier for me to have time to draw and some inspiration to do so.  I actually feel artistic right now so maybe I'll get cracking on something.  Anyhow... <br /><br /><br />Yeah sorry... Nothing really to write about D:<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, it's the weekend... enough said.  I'm bored out of my mind, sick, and I've lost my voice to top it all off. I do have photoshop CS2 now though, I wonder how much fun I shall have, hehe.  Anyhow, I think I'll get to finally getting some more stuff done, but it's all old as of right now... I haven't really had the OOMPH to draw anything... at all... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ MEH! I was sooo dissapointed with the HP movie.  VERY choppy and they left out some of the scenes that would have made it ROCK. Par example: <br />
<br />
1. Quidditch World Cup Match? Where was the bet with Fred and George? And I didn't even SEE Percy in there, and he plays a big role in the upcomming book!<br />
<br />
2. Dobby and Winky were NOWHERE to be seen and they as well played a good role in the movie! What about in the next movie when dobby explains to Harry that he can use the come+go room to practice DA, which is the same place that he places Winky when she gets drunk?<br />
<br />
3. Wasn't Ron suppossed to cut that lace off of his dress robes? Also, wasn't he suppossed to get those BEFORE he went to Hogwarts?<br />
<br />
4. Here was a complete scene drop... The whole Aunt Marge thing was no where to be seen yet was to be seen in the commercials, probably added as an extra scene but would have added a great deal to the movie.<br />
<br />
5. Wasn't someone suppossed to explain to Harry what had happened to Neville's parents, and exactly why Neville lived with his grandmother?<br />
<br />
6. I want to see Harry giving Fred and George his triwiizard winnings! Where was that? I'll love seeing them TRY to touch on that in the next movie, and will be VERY dissapointed if they cut that out... How else are Fred and George suppossed to raise hell for Proffessor Umbrige? It's the total foundation for their Joke Shop!<br />
<br />
7. Cho Chang, wasn't harry suppossed to see her at the tournament? But I must admit, I love her Glasgow accent <br />
<br />
8. They cut the part where a dementor Kisses Barty Crouch Jr.... DISSAPOINTMENT.<br />
<br />
9. Sirius's head in the fire? That was NOT a fire. In fact, that was a heap of burning COALS. LAME MUCH.<br />
<br />
10. Although I loved the dragons... They stretched the scence way too far where they could ave added more vital story plots that they completely dropped.<br />
<br />
11. Why didn't they mention that Rita Skeeter was an animagus? That was a huge and vital role in the story! No mention of it what so ever. And that also plays a big role in the next book/movie where Hermione has that to hold against Rita, to make her write that article about the night Cedric Diggory died and Voldemort rose again....<br />
<br />
I think I should stop here, you're mouth is probably at the floor already. The movie was good for what it was, and Ronald Weasely made it all worth it. Especially the twins, they were smexier this year then they ever have been. *drools over the three redheaded boys* God they're pretty. And OMG!!! Ferret scene with Malfoy and Moody? LMFAO!! That was one of the best scenes in the movie. Although I say the one with ron and the lacey dress robes was the best, because he's one sexy british boy and he makes anything look good. <br />
<br />
Okies I'm done. Love ya ^^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So.... Remember when I said I'd attempt to start drawing the Manga for <a href="http://yunako.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yunako.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="yunako" /></a> and my story?  Hehe...  It wasn't even an attempt worthy to call an attempt.  What they hell is up with STRAIGHT lines?!?  I hate them, I really do.  So now instead of drawing the cells for the manga by hand, I have resolved to doing them on the computer instead and it makes things SO much easier.  I can just print them out on me mum's computer (she has a printer) and then I can draw in them!  It's genious I say!  Brilliant!  So now that that dillema is out of the way, I think I'll finally be able to start doing it.  If not I'll let <a href="http://yunako.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yunako.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="yunako" /></a> start it and then maybe I can actually do something with it and turn it into something me and her can both be proud of.  Hopefully, if the drawing out goes well, we'll take it to kinko's or some other printing place and we'll sell it at the next Anime Detour in Minneappolis, Minnesota.  We once had talked about letting our dear friend brianna also help us with bodily proportions and hands and other miscellanious things that we possible would need help with but I can't see that working now unless <a href="http://yunako.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yunako.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="yunako" /></a> asks her about it and has her help her when she's working on her part.  Who knows really, cause I sure don't.<br />
<br />
Eeeee!!!  My boyfriend gets back home today!  I'm so excited!  I've been waiting all week for this!  No more camp for him till next summer! Nyar!  It's quite a joyous thing for me, really.  I haven't seen him since last wednesday and unfortuneatly, we probably won't get to see eachother or do anything untill Sunday or later.  That really sucks.<br />
<br />
On a happier note, HARRY POTTER COMES OUT TOMORROW!!!  OMFG!!!  I'm so excited.  I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on that brand new hard cover, beautiful green and black covered book!  I want to read, I must read.  It's like an obsession brewing deep in my mind.  My family is buying three copies.  One for me, one for my mom, and one for my brother.   I ireally want to know who dies, and I have to know who ze half blood prince is.  Ooohhh!!! *hyperness*  Ok I'm done now.<br />
<br />
Have a very good day everyone! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I feel so sick.  Oh such misery.  Anyhow, I fink I'm going to start on mine and <a href="http://yunako.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yunako.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="yunako" /></a>'s manga thing.  I can send it over to her for edits she wants to make, then we can post it.  Oh what joy!  It's going to be hard making backgrounds and stuff though.... I should leave that to her.  *pushes all background responsibility on <a href="http://yunako.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/u/yunako.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="yunako" /></a>* Bwaahahahaha!  No not really.  But it's not deniable that she does do better at that kind of stuff than I do... Maybe I should practice some?  Gah but I'm too lazy.  Oh well, I'll try anyway.  Well, that's all for today. ]]></description>

<br />
Life has been good I suppose.  I went to Kansas for the 4th of july weekend and what-not.  Needless to say I had fun ^-^.  Something not so fun though.  My boyfriend is leaving for camp for a whole week wiithout phone capabilities and won't be back till sunday next week.  So sad.  <br />
<br />
Aside from that, our dog bailey won't stop chewing on anything!  Also, everytime there is food on the counter she'll try to get it (she's just reached the point where if she rears up she can see what's on the counter).  We're having to constantly yell at her and tell her NO! but she just won't listen at all!  Stupid dog -_-.  <br />
<br />
On another note, I am finishing the last of my requests and also am finishing some contest entries for a contest that I entered on gaia.  Such joy.  I have a really good chance, I know I do.  Lots of the artists the submitted should really look into some nice how-to books.  A few are pretty good though and I wish them the best of luck.  There's one I really like on the couples catergory.  I hope it wins because I know mine wont XP.  I'm submitting a total of 5 pictures though so hopefully I'll win something.  That's all for now though.  Have a good day everyone! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, today being fathers day, I called up my dad and wished him happy fathers day.  Go me!  <br />
<br />
I went swimming today for the first time this summer!  I was wearing some friends clothes and all she gave me was a spaggeti strapped tanktop and short shorts.  Needless to say, I felt very naked.  I swam like that too because I don't have a new suit yet.  Anyhow, After I went swimming I can home and I crashed on the couch.  I was reeeaaaaly tired from only gettting like... 3 hours of sleep last night.  Oh well.  It's all good now.  I think I'll pay some PS2 then go to bed.  G'bye and G'night all!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So yea, today I decided to edit this picture that has been sitting in my drawing case for a good year at least.  It's so sad, I draw something then I totally forget about it!  What really sucks is having no time to do my own works of art!  Gaia has me losing sleep just to finish all of the things I have to do!  So time consuming.  Anywhoo, would anyone have any really good tutorials to share with me for photoshop?  I already have some good ones but wondering if maybe there isn't more out there.  Well, feel free to comment! ]]></description>
