                <description><![CDATA[ As you may have noticed I'm a completely lame person and I only update my journal when I go to conventions.  This one would be AX. 8D  My tablemate <a href="http://raife.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/a/raife.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconraife:" title="raife"/></a> and I had quite the experience.  I totally HATE driving in LA because the roads and signs there are totally not helpful and are usually confusing.  BUT, we survived and it was awesome.  I bought Copic markers and met a bunch of really awesome people.  Those would include:<br /><br /><a href="http://sleepar.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/l/sleepar.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsleepar:" title="sleepar"/></a> - who was our really cool neighbor, his art is AMAZING. <br /><br /><a href="http://zeiva.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/z/e/zeiva.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconzeiva:" title="zeiva"/></a> & <a href="http://muhoho-seijin.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/u/muhoho-seijin.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmuhoho-seijin:" title="muhoho-seijin"/></a> who were directly across from us. I didn't even realize such talent was so close! But yet so far. D:  Darn you wall of people!<br /><br /><a href="http://cruzle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/r/cruzle.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcruzle:" title="cruzle"/></a>,<a href="http://zimmay.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/z/i/zimmay.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconzimmay:" title="zimmay"/></a>,<a href="http://shuura.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/h/shuura.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconshuura:" title="shuura"/></a>,<a href="http://finni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/i/finni.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfinni:" title="finni"/></a><br /><a href="http://tirael.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/i/tirael.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontirael:" title="tirael"/></a>,<a href="http://fongmingyun.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/o/fongmingyun.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfongmingyun:" title="fongmingyun"/></a>, <a href="http://slimu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/l/slimu.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconslimu:" title="slimu"/></a>  It was really awesome seeing you guys again. <3  I hope I see you again you are lovely people and I dearly adore you all. <3<br /><br /><a href="http://kimchii.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/i/kimchii.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkimchii:" title="kimchii"/></a> She draws the cutest things I have EVER seen and she is an awesome person.  Spam her with love and sweet things.<br /><br />And for all the other lovely people I met, it was very nice to meet you.  I hope to meet you again soon! <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I realize that I'm really bad at updating my journal and so now I'm going to.....For Akon anyway.  I did  go.  It was a mixed experience, but it was mostly just awesome.  My table mates <a href="http://fayrenpickpocket.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/fayrenpickpocket.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfayrenpickpocket:" title="fayrenpickpocket"/></a> and <a href="http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/e/vert-is-ninja.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvert-is-ninja:" title="vert-is-ninja"/></a> were really awesome.  My other table mates <a href="http://pirate-trish.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/i/pirate-trish.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpirate-trish:" title="pirate-trish"/></a>, <a href="http://is-chimera.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconis-chimera:" title="is-chimera"/></a> and <a href="http://frogman354.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/r/frogman354.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfrogman354:" title="frogman354"/></a> were also severely awesome - they were getting people to dance and I was entertained, yes, we sang once too.  Lots of love for them all. <3 <3<br /><br />I also ran into some really fanastic people like: <a href="http://fongmingyun.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/o/fongmingyun.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfongmingyun:" title="fongmingyun"/></a>, <a href="http://tirael.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/i/tirael.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontirael:" title="tirael"/></a>, <a href="http://edotastic.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconedotastic:" title="edotastic"/></a> and <a href="http://slimu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/l/slimu.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconslimu:" title="slimu"/></a> who we ran into AT KINKOS at 1:30am.  It was really hilarious and awesome and probably the best run in I've ever had at kinkos considering I hate the place and their laminator was sucking eggs.  Copy Max FOREVER.<br /><br />There were a lot of really cool people at con that I haven't listed and I'm sorry I don't know your DA page or I forgot like a retard, know you are still awesome. O:<br /><br />Hopefully I'll be more prompt about an AX journal because I will be there. 8D  Yeah, getting the full con experience with a hotel and everything because commuting to LA sucks! Hooorrray!  I'll be with tablemate <a href="http://raife.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/a/raife.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconraife:" title="raife"/></a> so it'll be super cool.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well this is a little late to be reporting on this NOW, but....what can I say.  I am pretty late in general.  BETTER LATE THAN NEVER I GUESS!<br />
Ok, so it was a whirlwind experience, but still very excellent.  We had a rough start since our table wasn't what we expected at all(thanks a lot AX you SUCK), but we got by thanks to these lovely ladies: <a href="http://zimmay.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/z/i/zimmay.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconzimmay:" title="zimmay"/></a>  <a href="http://shuura.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/h/shuura.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconshuura:" title="shuura"/></a>  <a href="http://finni.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/i/finni.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfinni:" title="finni"/></a> <a href="http://cruzle.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/r/cruzle.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcruzle:" title="cruzle"/></a> <a href="http://cole0123.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/o/cole0123.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcole0123:" title="cole0123"/></a><br />
<br />
Us peeps(my partners in crime): <a href="http://raife.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/a/raife.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconraife:" title="raife"/></a> <a href="http://vert-is-ninja.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/e/vert-is-ninja.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvert-is-ninja:" title="vert-is-ninja"/></a><br />
Owe you peeps big time.  I can't tell you how much you saved our asses and we're really grateful.  YOU ALL ROCK!  Seriously, you made the con experience awesome.  Period.<br />
<br />
In other news, I actually did unglue my butt from my chair to cruise around the artist alley with Cruzle my LOVELY AND WONDERFUL OMGILOVEYOU tablemate.  I got to meet <a href="http://morbidprince.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/o/morbidprince.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmorbidprince:" title="morbidprince"/></a> again who I adore to death. <3 <3 <3<br />
I also had the pleasure of meeting these three, all in a row actually: <a href="http://jadedice.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/a/jadedice.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconjadedice:" title="jadedice"/></a> <a href="http://tirael.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/i/tirael.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontirael:" title="tirael"/></a> <a href="http://orenji-kun.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/r/orenji-kun.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconorenji-kun:" title="orenji-kun"/></a><br />
<br />
Outside of the con activities I got to chill with the awesome and talented people of BAAU and LAVAPUNCH.  I'm not sure what all their DA account names are(or if they all have one), but here are the three I know for sure: <a href="http://peipa.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/e/peipa.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpeipa:" title="peipa"/></a> <a href="http://oh8.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/h/oh8.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconoh8:" title="oh8"/></a> <a href="http://wen-m.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/w/e/wen-m.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconwen-m:" title="wen-m"/></a> <a href="http://-coey-.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/_/c/-coey-.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icon-coey-:" title="-coey-"/></a><br />
Those of you who I met and didn't list because I'm lame, you seriously made my day, thank you for being AWESOME!!!<br />
To the other people who came by to visit and chat, commission or harass me, thanks for doing that too!  I always enjoy meeting everyone, it makes the con experience a true experience.  It was really a fun con thanks you alls.<br />
Peace out.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For those who actually read this business up here I'm letting you know I will be at Anime Expo in the artist alley.  Come visit, there will be loads of good stuff since my table mates are two servings of awesome each.  It's amazing we got a table after all the flaming hoops AX put us through so you should come by just to marvel at it like we're going to.  Sex~ay piece of wood it be.<br />
<br />
I'll post the prints I'm going to sell there, here, after.  More details to come later.<br />
<br />
I can't believe AX is soon.  I'M NOT READY.  Procrastination is a cruel and evil mistress. *flails*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Guu~ I got tagged by TiltedHaloPs44 so now Im...tagged and bagged. D8<br />
<br />
The objective here is to expose 6 of your weird-ass traits and expose them to the world.  6 of your neurotic tendencies.  No more, no less.  After being tagged you need to make some instructions for your tranquilized finds(6 new victims) so they know what to do when theyre released back into the wild.  Write a journal entry explaining the rules of this tag and bag operation and at the end chose your 6 next targets.  When leaving the notice on their hide make sure to refer back to the directions left for them here.  Or...there.  In your data log...journal thing.  <br />
<br />
>Make sure you restate these directions in your own journal because mine dont always make the most sense.  Now go get them!<br />
<br />
6> I like to eat things a little on the burnt side so theyre nice and crispy.  I mean, if the toast is done, Ill put it in a little longer so its REALLY done.  Toasted tortillas have to be like chips otherwise theyre not done yet.  I like thin crust pizza for this reason of addition crispy excellence.<br />
<br />
5> I am a perfectionist when it comes to certain things like art and various other tasks.  Its hard to say when Ill just give it up for lost or sit there and keep working at it.  It just happens!<br />
<br />
4> I find certain random words really funny.  Usually unusual words like poop-chute, chaff, rent(in reference to a tear), pet peeve, snub, uppity, beanie-weenie and sassy-pants.  Just to give you an idea.<br />
<br />
<3 I cant stand when the order of things in my desktop folders get rearranged.  They are arranged specifically and it bugs the CRAP out of me when the folder decides to order it by name or something.  Its visually displeasing and I cant find what I want because its all over in crazy places!!<br />
<br />
<2 I am easily taken by cute things.  It doesnt matter if its completely useless or antihelpful I will want it because its cute.  It can be a toy pig that requires you to push its nose to make lead come out of its rump or it can be a cat toy, boy toy, sticker, candy....I will want it.  For no good reason other than that.  Its like a disease.<br />
<br />
<1 I love fish.  I like to save those 10 cent feeder fish and just in general, bettas.  If I could I would have a room of fish, but oh god.  Cleaning out all their tanks would be an awful ORDEAL.  With cold hands and fish poop and dechlorinator everywhere!<br />
<br />
Youve been bagged. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes, yes OMG.  For whoever reads this.  This is really just a silly announcement saying that I shall be attending Anime Expo 2006.  My fellow DA peeps and Gaians please come visit me.  I love random visitors.  I will, unfortunately, NOT be in the artist alley since they were full before I knew about them being open!  Hooray for being prepared!  Instead...I shall be in with my friend venders so shop around and you may find an Akemi/Neko, whichever you know me best by.  Or a Star, but now we're getting technical.  So yes!  Visit!  I'll be dressed eccentrically for YOUR entertainment! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I haven't done much art for myself lately.  So, I practically never update this thing.  <br />
<br />
Don't be surprised.  It's life.  <br />
<br />
If I do end up posting something, hopefully it'll be worth looking at.  My old gallery scares the bejeezus out of me. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Begin transmission now...<br /><br />*comes back from the dead*  Ooorawr!  I  know, how scary.  My DA neglect has  eneded and I've already cleaned out  some of my...eh I guess you can call  it... gallery...because there were  things in there that could give small  children nightmares. FOREVER *shivers*   To the deviants I have missed, you were  well missed.  To the rest of you,  hopefully your eyes will not be  violated by bad art so I'll make sure  to try and cycle out all the bad stuff  as soon as it becomes bad.  It takes me  a while to see it sometimes, but I'll  try very hard. *dedicated* So, that  leaves me with only improvement and if  all goes well there will be much of it!   <br />
<br />
So here's to a better tomorrow...TO  IMPROVEMENT! *cheers*<br /><br />Over and out. ]]></description>

I'm sorry for  those who watch my gallery...I should  have new stuff to post soon.  School  and random other activities have been  draining my time and sleep away.

Well yes, I can't believe it either I'm  a lazy bum and I don't expect myself to  do anything productive ever.  However  I've been on a recent contest binge for  Gaia money-ies XP 'cause I made myself  poor.  YEEEAH, so my bad!  Hahahhahahaha...at least I'm doing art  right?  However, my computer is  starting to be bitchy again so I may  have to kick it's can to the curb  because NAR to electronic failure.  DA  was being a little hissy too *elbows  it*  But enough gripes, I'm just glad  people come to my page and give it some  luuuuvvv because everyone needs a lil'  luv.<br /><br />Over and out. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Finally something works around here!<br /><br />So yes, my computer is FINALLY doing  well.  It was a long proceedure and I  think the drug addiction that followed  during the recovery was rough, but now,  all is well.  My computer has made a  full comeback and is doing well.   Just...don't leave any painkillers  around. ^-^;  So I haven't done much in  my away time, well except for this  commission I'm working on which I leave  a little sneak peek of because it's sad  that I never update.  Hopefully I'll  get my arse rolling and color some  other stuff that NEEDS to be colored as  well, for your viewing enjoyment.   Happy days!<br><br> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ....as years go by, my computer grows  more and more gimped.  Yay advancing  technology!<br /><br />Yes, I'm still dead.  My computer is so  dead.  Dead dead dead dead....It was ok  for a week and then it died.  Well it's  kind of in that scary in between state  where it's slowly redying.  It's newest  thing is just turning off suddenly and  then rebooting as if I reset it, which  I didn't.  I did it while I was  photoshoping today and I almost just  threw it into the wall.  This, no  matter how pleasing it would be, would  not benefit anyone.  So I'm just going  to be putting up what I can and hoping  that the buggy problems will just go  away.  So if you're looking for any  updates, I'll try to put some up, but  try is the key word in this statement.   *tries very hard*  Until I return I  send my love to everyone!<br><br> ]]></description>

-_-;  I swear I'm drawing though.  I'd  update you on my computer's progress,  but I don't think it's going to the  positives...if anything it's more  screwed up NOW than it was before  *laughs*  It's amusing in a masochistic  way....considering how I want to finish  some stuff and not have to mooch to use  everyone else's computer.....but yeah,  in time I'll be back.  Till then I miss  being here and around.  I know this  sounds lame, but DAMMIT I really want  my sexy man kollage desktop back!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />   Well...hopefully when compy comes back  I can scan all this stuff and have this  one group picture I've been slaving  away at ready to upload soon.  Till  then I work and go to school....like  most...people..hmm why am I so slow at  this normal stuff??<br><br>*HUGS TO EVERYONE* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Misery comes from those closest to  you...damn why does that suck so bad?<br /><br />Sorry to anyone who misses me, or knows  I exist.  Unfortunately my ultimate  nightmare has come true.  My computer  has utterly DIED on me *kicks it  roughly* AND midterms are this week.   The funny thing is my computer didn't  die of some obscure virus...nooooo no  no...it died out of pure corruption.   Just like, all by itself.  HAH! And dad  was pissed because he thought I got the  computer a virus....Well what a small  victory that was for me.  So my  computer's gimpy-ness isn't  transferable, but it's damn annoying  and inconvenient to boot.  I miss my  desktop already...*cries*  I revamped  that thing too many times, too many  times.  Shit man.  Well I'm going to  run around and be distraught now.  I  swear I've been drawing...just give me  time if you're looking for an update.   If not, please join me in a moment to  curse my dead computer.  *lights a  bonefire to do some ritual thing around*<br><br>....and then they looked like this -_-; ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Since when did these journals get so  complicated??<br /><br />I've been dead for too long and I swear  I'll update soon. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  Really!  Believe  me, I really will!  Well my lack of  anything I blame on school  because.....it's school and its a time  leech.  ALTHOUGH I only have school  monday-weds right now so I'm totally  bullshitting myself.  Well I work too,  but since when did that ever count?   Alright, I admit it, I'm just a huge  ass slacker and I don't even have an  art block so I'm just making stupid  excuses at this point.  I'm  rationalizing my own stupidity because  I'm just a lazy ass!  So yeah I'll  update when the lazy-ness wears off.   If you want one sooner than you'll have  to kick the laziness outta me.  Feel  free to try.    ^-^  Till then I'll be  procrastinating on my small amount of  homework that mainly consists of  reading.  >_><br><br>I swear I'm reading now.. <_<;; ]]></description>

But I  made it through *dances*  Finals are a  wretched business, but enough with  finals, updates are going to be  numerous because I have so much all  backed up.  So just waiting for ink and  color.  Fan art will also continue  'cause I'm a procrastinator on that  kinda stuff.  Yes I suck because of  that.  *dances more* Just two more  kiriban hit gifts and I'll be out of  the hole for that!<br />

It's funny how I want finals to be  over...but then again I really  don't.....because then I would be  unprepared and fail, but then I don't  like studying to be prepared or having  to wait for them to come, with the  THREAT of failing.  So I wish they  would be over, but I wish I had more  time to study...<br />

Well obviously the winner gets whatever  she wants, but you runner up peeps get  a chibi of whatever you want instead,  since well they're nifty and time  savers.  So if you want me to draw you  chibi or you want a character of yours  or whatever then I'll do it.  Just let  me know and I can do it.  Hopefully  I'll have them photoshoped for you a  couple days after you tell me what you  guys want unless school is pounding me  with a sledge hammer, then it may be  delay a wee bit.  We're hoping for no  tests, projects and or homework.   *crosses fingers and hopes VERY VERY  HARD*  Instant message me, email me,  send me a note, drop a comment some  where, where I'll find it and then I  can get busy!  So congrats to you  people, I luv you!  <br />
TILL NEXT TIME AT 3,000 HITS!  BE  THERE!((I know I'm a dork, just keep  pretending I'm not -_-<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />) ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just popping in to remind  anyone...someone I hope.. >_><br />
That whoever gets the 2,000th hit(or  somewhere close to it...runner ups are  cool too)  Then I'll draw you whatever  you want because I LOVE YOU!!!!!  To  put the snippet on there, incase you  don't know how(like me) here's how to  do it!<br />
<br />
next to "backspace" theres "insert" and  above that is the "Print screen/SysRq/  Screen SysRq" button.  That funkily  named button is your "snippy button"   After pressing the button go to  photoshop or paint and paste the  picture.  <br />
<br />
I think then you can transfer it to the  DA page or something.  I got these  directions from a knowledgable person  so you know they work. *nods*  If the  snippet thing totally fails then just  yell and jump about saying you go the  2000 or 2001 or something whatever,  I'll probably believe you unless  multiples of people do that(like  that'll happen).  So good luck! ]]></description>

Anyway, just as an unnecessary  advanced warning...Whoever gets 2,000  hits gets a picture of whatever they  want.  It's not really very close, but  this is my wishful thinking.  I guess  you people know how to show the little  snippet of the page views because I  don't ^^;  But yeah, I'd like to see  that, it's entertaining.  oy, back to  the books. ]]></description>

Ok, ok, so I got Disgaea and I can't  stop playing OK!? I admit it.   It's my  new found obsession.  It's my new game,  my babe, it DEMANDS to be played.  That  and it's soooo similar to FFT that....I  love it ; _ ;   Well...that and school  can be a drag too, but mostly my new  game.  I inherited a broken PS2 and got  it fixed for 10 bucks.  So YES I'm  going to binge on all the PS2 games I  can get!!!!!!!!!!  It's the good life.   Yes, but the no life on DA....sorry  'bout that.  I'll live again soon....I  hope. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah....this doesn't thrill me, but  it's happening.  It seems that DA  thinks my pictures would look much more  humorous if it made them look like they  got hit by a car.  I SWEAR these  pictures don't look so squished  normally, but ever since recently(very  accurate and percise of course)  everything has gotten all funkay  looking and.....well they don't look  good.  I'm hoping it'll go away and  everything will be good, but yeah till  then, please bear with the  squishy-ness.  *prays that it'll be  gone by tomorrow*  If ANYONE knows  what's making it like this please tell  me so I can fix it!  I don't even like  going to my page when it looks like  this *laughs* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ School..it's a cloud of impending doom  I tell you.  It seriously limits art  time...not that..I do much art in the  first place, but when the time I do  have to draw is cut down, you really  miss it....It becomes that alternative  that you'd much rather do than  homework.  Heck, even cleaning can seem  better than homework....Me writing in  my long foresaken journal is WAY  better.  *is procrastinating as we  speak*  For those of you who stop by or  follow me..I'm sorry I've been really  lame with artwork lately...REALLY  lame...The chibis..have taken over and  I think I'm fine with that because they  make my page look much less  blank...There are more on the way sorry  to say.  I actually drew all of "Project  #4" out..how sad, still on number 4...  -_-;  I'm soo behind.  Although..this  is a large picture...hmm with my mad  math skills..it's 22 by 36...I think  I'm going to have to shrink it once I  get around to inking and coloring  it...it has a FULL background..imagine  that..me and background.  If you care  and are patient I promise to finish  it...this year.  *laughs* that's a  terrible goal I know..but  school....death....chibi fillers...I'm  hoping it'll get better by the end of  this month.  *crosses her fingers* ]]></description>

It's.....not a project, just so you  know, but it is a picture.  ^^  I'm  working on project #4 and I hope to  finish soon, but eh...you know how that  goes...I'm slow, you're slow, we're  all a little slow, but all our slowness  combined equals my slowness.  *laughs*   I learned a new coloring trick when I  was playing around with the contest  picture so hopefully it'll come in  handy for this next one.  Although you  can never be to careful.  Well  *stretchs* I guess I better get to  work.  I fear you may see more chibis  before Project #4 comes out.  -_-;  So  excuse my filler.  They are really fun  lil' things to draw though... I mean  they're all cute and chubby and I can  use my lazy ass way to color them!  Man  maybe I should just go ALL  chibi...*everyone cringes in fear*  Naw  I'm just kidding, but they may appear  so you were warned.  ^-^  I'm going! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WOW, I've failed for quite some time, but that wave of idle lame-ness  has come to an end, yes....I've finally become productive again AND I  finished "Project #3".  ^^  *does a victory dance for herself*  Yeah,  the line art...was kicking me in the ass...but....I triumphed in the  end.  I must say...IT WAS A PAIN IN THE ASS ALL THE WAY!  *laughs*  It  was difficult from drawing it in pencil to inking to scanning and  especially when it came to coloring.   I hope you all enjoy it and  appreciate it, it was an interesting journey..((PAIN IN THE ASS, just  to say it again)).  I have a few sub projects to do before I get my ass  working on "Project #4".  Yes, I know I lied about the chibis...I still  need to finish them up too.  I just have to draw one more and color  two.  Shouldn't take long.  ^^  ((that's what I ALWAYS say *evil  laughter*))  Till next time.  "Be safe or be ROAD KILL"-Calvin and  Hobbes<br>

I CAN draw, I just..haven't sat down and done  it...I'm...either lazy or I just find better things to do..which is sad  because drawing IS MY LIFE.  *laughs*  oooh boy.  Well maybe it's  because I need a slave driver to motivate me.  Any volunteers?  I could  say I'd pay you, but I really wouldn't...You would just get to see all  my pictures before anyone else..is that good enough?  *laughs*  Ok I'm  working I'm working...*scuttles off*<br>

                <description><![CDATA[ *dances about*  FINALLY I CAN SEE! I CAN DRAW!  It's so funny....I  never knew how much of my time I like to pretend to draw or to actually  sit down and do it.  ^^  You only realize stuff like this when you are  physically incapable of doing it I guess.  Well it's nice to have the  option to be able to draw again.  I've started on "Project #3" oh yes,  I've got a good start on that.  Hopefully I'll finish drawing it  today...and then I can start colors tomorrow.  Big plans for colors, ^^  I plan on doing something unorthodox for me.  It'll be nice and  experimental, but if the drawing turns out then I will make sure the  color makes it look better and not worse.  Even if it's fun-kay.  Hmmmm  I don't gots a lot of say today, other than it was weird to have to  stay up till 4 in the morning again.  I mean summer...I don't have to  stay up and work on ANYTHING that late anymore.  I don't have due dates  anymore...but having to do it ONE LAST TIME was weird...I felt like it  was the week before finals week again..you know when ALL those 10 page  papers are do?  Don't ask me WHY they pick the last week for all that  crap to be due I mean, the "good' student would be studying that week.   Heh, but if you're a total procrastinator like ME <img src="http://images.deviantart.com/emoticons/icon_xd.gif" align="middle" alt="XD" title="XD" border="0" />  then you'd just  calculate how long it would take you to cram and just wait till then.  <br>

For anyone that cares, yes I can't look down for long  periods of time and my vision is blurred in my left eye.  Damn bacteria  that gives me hell.  To put it blunty I've being slowly driven insane  by the feeling of having a rock stuck in the corner of my eyelid BUT I  can't take the damn thing out and end my suffering.  I have to SIT with  it IN THERE!  -_-;  As a side note..NEVER LET ANYONE HIT YOU IN THE EYE  EVEN IF IT'S AN ACCIDENT!  Become psychic or something...*sighs* this  thing has really got me me tied in knots.  It's becoming painful now  and I can't do anything about it.  Dammit all to hell just sign me up  for surgery!  I really don't want to consider that but...I can't take  this.  I value my eyes so much and then what kind of problem do I get  stuck with?  meh eye infection.  I'd rather have a broken leg...ok I'll  stop whinning now, but in the future I know this will be one that I  would NEVER wish on another person...___________________________End  line of power!<br>

It'll be fine one night then I look at it next morning and I nearly  DIE! *laughs* I'm such a dork and I know, but it's ok.  I'm happy that  way.  Yes, so touch-ups are the bane of my existence because I keep  touching everything up.  The orginal will look fine and then as soon as  I see it on the monitor all hell breaks lose or something....Maybe I  have screwed up eyes, but anways this next project should be nice..I  took a lot of time to make the sketch good so the coloring process  should go well and I'm hoping for very few touch-ups.  I luv all you  people that come here and possibly read this, or just look around, it  puts a smile on my face.___________________________End line of power!<br>

Work, Work,  Work.  I feel so industrious!  Too bad I have to draw my friend his  birthday present first. -_-;;  That means no new stuff for anyone else  to see.  *sighs*  Another day...<br>

going "Yay!" - It hurts...So here I am....wow...it really feels  weird...so much..space and..grey..   I even get a slot to ramble in.   Yep, feels like I just moved in.  Too bad I can't get everything to  work   I feel like I need to be productive now, just one picture is so  sad.  Very...boring to say the least.  Hahaha my gallery of one.  Ok I  better stop rambling before I go and say something I'll regret, one of  those lines that make everyone edge away from you slooowly.  Or they  give you that look...the "oh boy, someone's on CRACK" look. Thanks for  stopping by, and if you read this..I'm sorry.  ___________________________End line of power!<br>
