                <description><![CDATA[ I know my past journal entries and how I talk on line may seem like im doing well. But Im not. Im ashamed to say thats kinda a front Ive been putting up. My life right now...well..theres no words to describe it.<br /><br />Im coming home on the 9th. I want sooo badly to see all my friends! But at the same time I dont. Im afraid of what you guys will think of me. My dress has some small holes, and my glasses litterally are bent out of shape. one side is sticking out. This is all because of my sensory defensivenesss and my OCD. It hard for me to wear anything new. I look retarded. Seriously. Even if you guys dont make fun of me everyone else will. Theres no way around it.<br /><br />Ive been trying SO HARD to change. To wear different things. But with all the divorce shit and mom troubles Ive been having, it just makes it 100% more difficult. <br /><br />I know this doesnt make sense. And Im sorry. I wish I could explane it better. But I cant. I have a disorder that inhibits me from alot of things. And along with it comes mini disorders. I suffer from huge anxiety, depression, OCD, sensory stuff, and its basically a social disorder in a way...<br /><br />Im my life is really scary right now. I dont know where Ill live. I have a place to stay over christmas break, but after that is unknown. My dad has to go back to China after that too, and I cant live here. But my mom doesnt want me to live with her. She kicked me out 6 months ago. She doenst want me to even VISIT her! Not for even 3 days! <br /><br />So my dad and I have been looking into some assisted living places. I REALLY dont want to go to one! I want to have a home. Not some place....But Im starting to realize that may be my only choice. <br /><br />theres this thing where its possible for me to live on my own at my own place and they check up on me and I take classes to help with some skills such as billing, setting appointments, all that stuff. Theres more too it tho. But we have to look into it. Itll be all personalized. But my dad thinks I need to be in an actual "home" where ppl are there to take care of me. I hate that. Im not retarded! I want to be independant! <br /><br />I want to get a job too, but NO ONES going to take someone who looks the way I do. I look like a freak! <br /><br />It hurts soo badly because all my friends can go out and have fun, get jobs, go to college, be in relationships, and all ive done the past 6 months is staying in the appartment doing nothing. I want to be with my friends. But i cant. Im stuck. And all my friends are moving forward. And Im in the same place watching them go by. Im afraid that I will loose all of you. And if that happens, i have nothing left.<br /><br />Im not trying to make you guys feel sorry for me or have a pity party. Im suffering really badly and i dont know what to do. I wrote this journal to tell you guys how things are going. I feel like you should know. And I have no one to talk to about my problems. I cant tell my mom or dad because it involves them and ill just get stuck in the middle even more than i already am.<br /><br />I love you guys so much. I really do! You all mean the world to me! You keep me going! I hope that you all can still accept me when I get back even tho i look weird. Im doing the best that I can do. <br /><br />Thank you all. I love you.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know its only Wednesda over in teh States but here its Thanksgiving! I doubt ill do anything for it tho. We had plans to go to a dinner but I dont think my dad wants to go with me. So Happy Thanksgiving! ^.^<br /><br />Also, I have another question. Does anyone know ANYTHING about the Eagle Anime "Present Party" on Dec. 12th? Ive left messages on the EA site and emailed Emily but I havent got a response yet and its been a couple weeks. so idk....<br /><br />Im probably going to it I just dont know what its about and what it entails. I kinda need to know if its like a secret santa kinda thing. And if it is I hope I can still be part of it. So if anyone has any news or details about that please tell me! <br /><br />LOVE LOVE! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /><br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br /><br /><br />** Make a post in your journal.

And now I might not be coming home till Dec. 9th!!!!! *dies*<br /><br />I saw my dad trying to make plane tickets. I asked when I was going home and he said he was only planning for HIM! O_O He said he knew when HE was going to be able to go home but not me! (srsly it makes no sense!!) <br /><br />He continues to say that he wants me to go home earlier because he doenst want to "babysit" me till the 9th AND that he doesnt want to sit by me on the plane AND is gonna upgrade to buisness class while Im in economy class!!! X.x this just about KILLED ME!! OMG! He said he wants me to go home earlier by myself....yet he says he doesnt think I can do it by myself!!! <br /><br />WTF!?!?!?! <br /><br />HONESTLY!??! Hes making no freakin sense! Im sick of this bull shit! <br /><br />I-WANT-OUT-OF-THIS-HELL-HOLE!!!!!<br /><br />So i have no idea what is going on. Im so confused with all this! I honestly dont know how much more I can take! <br /><br />Ok sorry about that! n_n" hehe...Im just SUPER stressed right now! <br /><br />I have a question tho! I have been thinking about my cosplays and Ive always wanted to do a Yu Yu Hakusho cosplay...but dont know who Id be best as....I was wondering what your guys opinion was? Who do you think I would be good at/ able to do?<br /><br />Im thinking Mukuro (even tho I hate her! but I want a Hiei to go with me! ^w^ ), Koto, and Young Genkai are all that I can think of right now....Id prefer girls...with my body structure its hard to even "TRY" to bind....so i usually avoid teh guys...>.< I like Juri too, but her out fit is too skimpy for me...yeah not showing mah belly off...tis gross...<br /><br />So yeah just wondering who I would be best at!

                <description><![CDATA[ So first off, its freakin cold in Shanghai and rains constantly all day and all week! It NEVER stops! Its all gloom and doom! I cant get out to do anything! Its making me mad!!<br /><br />OK anyways...yesterday I was coming back from my last class of SAT prep and I was in the taxi. We had come to a stop. The guy ahead of us suddenly started BACKING UP FAST!! The taxi driver layed on his horn but the driver didnt hear. He came crashing right into us! This sent us back some and the car coming up behind us then crashed into us!! So we were hit two times! <br /><br />I just sit there in awe totally dumbfounded. The taxi driver gets out and goes to the car that backed into us. He opens the drivers door and practically pulls the guy out and they start arguing! Im seriously thought there was going to be a huge fight! Then the other guy who ran into us came and starts arguing too! O_o I was like OMG!!!<br /><br />So i just leave the money i owed the guy in the cab and just walk off. It was POURING rain! I was in some back street. There were no taxis in sight! I had to walk a couple blocks in the rain before I found one! I just got in and THANKFULLY got back home safe!<br /><br />Im ok. My back hurts a little and I "might" have chipped a tooth...im not sure....I think I just scrapped the enamel off. so yeah....that was my big day yesterday!<br /><br />Im as of now coming back to Minneapolis on Dec. 1st! But as of now I will be staying in WI!!! *dies* But im trying to work something out so I can stay in the cities! Well see! *crosses fingers*<br /><br />LOVE LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

Mainly the same old crap with my parents and the divorce. But now theres something new. Yippee! (sarcastic there!)<br /><br />Well my dad says he cant live with me any longer and its driving him crazy! I feel like totall crap! On top of that his ONLY solution is to send me to a home/assisted living. I DO NOT WANT THAT!! Im not a retard! I can do things by myself! It just takes me a little longer than normal and is harder for me. <br /><br />BUT I CAN DO IT!! <br /><br />The main reason is because of my glasses. they fall off my face and make me look retared. SERIOUSLY! Im not joking! But im scared to get into my contacts! It scares the shit outta me!! But I know I have to! Ive been putting it off too long. <br /><br />So Im supposedly going back to MN on dec. 1 or so I think. I might stay with my aunt and uncle for a couple months. But the problem is how I will get around and who will pay for me and all that crap. I'd stay till i took the SATs on Jan 28th and from there apply to USF. <br /><br />I would get a job in MN if I was staying longer but most likely Im going back to florida for college if i make it. <br /><br />BUT! If i cant find a place to stay or some one to "take care of me" Ill have to go back to china! and I dont want that!!! *dies* But that all depends on my dads job too!! If he gets a new contract or goes back to the us which doesnt pay well at all!!!<br /><br />It looks as if Ill be going back for chirstmas and such staying with various family but from there is unknown! I might be in an assisted living place!!! I DONT WANT THAT!! My dad takes me for some kinda idiot! the other day he said I could EVEN DIAL A PHONE!!! What does he take me for!?!?!? <br /><br />so its all confusing and gets me down. plus my mom doesnt really want anything to do with it. I dont know if ill see her at all. she wants to visit me in MN because her bf is there. But i wanna go to florida and see my cat and friends!! so its all one BIG GIANT MESS!!<br /><br />sooooo!!! *changes topic* other than that things are going ok. Im still doing the SAT course and everyother week I take a 4+ hours SAT prep test! (its killer X_x ) thats going well just im brain dead at the end of it! I think im doing ok but the math is still hard...i forgotten everything!!!! <br /><br />I hope I can work on cosplays once I get back to the Us and stay awhile. I dont know if Ill be able to be there for detour or not i really dont know!!! *crosses fingers*<br /><br />Thats about all thats going on! My Visa has been fixed finally! (but ends Jan 8th so well have to renew it ONCE AGAIN!!) but anyways yeah! Just been doing my christmas list!! I have 4 ppl down and 4 to go!!! (not including family) so yeah! I have a good idea what to get! <br /><br />well thats it!! Hope you all are doing well!!<br /><br />LOVE LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /><br /><br /></div><div class="credits">Graphics by *<a class="u" href="http://aishwaryakhan.deviantart.com/">aishwaryakhan</a> <br />CSS by =<a class="u" href="http://moonfreak.deviantart.com/">moonfreak</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well so far everythings been going pretty ok! (for the most part) theres still crap going on but Ive decided not to talk about that for awhile. Its tireing.....*sigh* <br /><br />But I did post pics of my Rhyme Bito WIP cosplay! I hope ppl like them! ^.^ No ones really commented about it or anything so I dont know if I did a good job or not... so yeah..I would kinda like feedback on it! *nods* It would be much appreciated! AND remember its not finished yet so yeah....XD<br /><br />But it looks like I WILL be COMING BACK FOR CHRISTMAS!!! W00T!!! *happy dance* But that all could change in a second....>.> but as of now I will be coming back! I might stay for all the holidays and then all of January until I take the SAT's on Jan 28th. Then I would have to come back to china it looks like...but thats if my dads contract works out.<br /><br />I REALLY dont wanna come back to china! I hate it here! It was nice at first, but its not a place someone my age should live and I have things I need to do like SAT's and applying for college. <br /><br />As far as my cosplay progress goes, I sadly dont thing I will be able to make the stuff for Anime Detour. Im gonna work REALLY hard on them when I come back to the cities for awhile, but that wont be enought time. PLUS most of my stuff is in storage back in Florida...so idk how that would work out. Ill be visiting florida but its too much of a hassel and everything to bring it back up north, expecially when I dont even have a place to stay yet. <br /><br />So like before everythings just hanging in the air. I wish I knew more about what is going to happen but stuff is just pretty messed up right now. so yeah...-_-<br /><br />I sooo badly want to work on cosplays!!!! Its killing me!! *dies* X_x But they dont have the stuff I need to work on it here...LIKE A SEWING MACHINE!!!! so idk.....<br /><br />I really want to stay in touch with all you guys! I miss you sooo increadibly much! *huggles tightly* But I will see you soon! <br /><br />I still havent seen very many pics from all of your guys halloween!

P.S-- My Visa thing was still messed up! we got it last week and they only extended it for 2 weeks more! So we had to go thru this big ordeal and stuff. My dads company helped out this time but in order to I needed to get a physical!!! *dies* I was sooo scared!! It was creepy too! I hated it! (not going into details...>.&lt<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> But we basically had to do all that crap over again and PAY LOTS MORE MONEY!! China just wants to cheat ppl out of money thats all they care about!! So now they are gonna extend it for 2 more months thankfully...but then we have to get it redone YET AGAIN!!! its a totall pain in the ass....<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I hope everyone had a good Halloween! Mine sucked soo bad! I went out once to get food dressed in my kitty costume but that was about it. The rest of the day I just sat and watched horror movies the whole night. (not that I dont like that! XD)<br /><br /><br />Just wished it could have been better. Halloween is my fav holiday and it was a total bust! Im really dissapointed about it. But nothing I can do now.....*grumble grumble*<br /><br />I hope ppl had fun with their parties and what not! I expect to see pics!!! ^w^<br /><br />LOVE LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well Halloween is just right around the corner! XD But im sad/mad that I cant celebrate it! Theres no such thing here in china! I might wear my kitty ears and bell that I brought but thats about it. Itll just attract more negative attention to me...>.> <br /><br />Some ppl do celebrate it..but only like the uber rich ones....-_- so thats not very many ppl! I wish I could sooo badly go to a halloween party or something! Man im sooo gonna miss Eagle Animes masquerade! (even tho that is in november. yes I still check what events are going on even tho im in China!)<br /><br />I loooooved last years!! It was sooo much fun!! And I won the cosplay contest! Ill never forget that! ^.^ (its the only time Ive EVER won something!!!) Im glad I was able to go! I met sooo many great ppl and great friends there that I will never forget! <br /><br />But im HOPING to go to the December shopping event and of course NEW YEARS!!! W00T!!!! *throws confetti* X3 hehe FETUS GRAPES!!!!!!! lmao!<br /><br />but we still have to see about those. I dont know when Im coming back or if I even am or for how long or if Ill be in florida at that time!! so many IF'S!!!! *dies* GAH!<br /><br />I know I will be coming back for christmas its just the details arent worked out yet. Everything looks like a REALLY good possibility! Im 90% sure that itll all work out! <br /><br />And I have part of my Rhyme cosplay for New Years so thats good too!!<br /><br />OH! Hey! *light bulb goes on* I have an Idea! I could maybe wear part of my Rhyme cosplay for Halloween! (since it has skulls on it! XD) But we'll see about that! I might! Its a toss up between that and teh kitty. so who knows! Plus its not like Im going to any parties...*sadpanda* ...but....<br /><br />my dad said Hooters was having a Halloween party so we might go to that.....kinda weird. But better than nothin! lol just so strange! <br /><br />Thats all I have for now! I wish I could dress up more! T_T Other than that its all going well. I have my Japanese lessons today and then SAT class tomorrow (but I havent finished my HW for that tho! ) so yeah! <br /><br />LOVE LOVE!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/skullbones2.gif" width="20" height="20" alt=":skullbones:" title="Skull and Crossbones" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Lately, things have been going pretty good! (well as much as they can be concidering the circumtances) Ive been down alot but thats nothing new. But I have been staying buisy and doing some fun things!<br /><br />I was able to FINISH MY RHYME SHIRT!! It worked out REALLY well! *happy dance* W00T! XD The stain came out pretty good. It just looks like a shadow from my boobs now! Xp lol haha! <br /><br />But I spent all day yesterday drawing out the design on the shirt and then painting it. It took a while to paint tho, had to keep adding layers because you could see thru the paint and there were spots of pink. The only think that went wrong was that I used some Bristal paper to put inbetween the shirt so the paint wouldnt bleed to the otherside, and well the shirt dried and got stuck to the paper and I had to tear it off! GRRR! *shakes fist* So now there are little bits of paper fragments stuck on the inside of the shirt. But I can get that off easy! So no worries! n_n<br /><br />Later I will post a pic of the shirt, and then one of me with all my current Rhyme stuff. Its not much, but all I have left to do is get the wig, shoes and put yellow on them, and make the shorts. So thats not bad at all! (and Im hoping to get the wig for Christmas!) hehe! :3<br /><br />Ive finally gotten around to uploading some of my Elemental Dragoons. I have two more to upload, but Im being lazy and dont feel like writing out a description for them. -_-" so yeah..and then I have 3 new Bunmus too! But those'll come later! *is lazy*<br /><br />Thats pretty much it. I have to go do some SAT practice stuff...GAH! I hate it soooo MUCH! But it has to be done. So Ill go get coffee and do it there! XD <br /><br />LOVE LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, when I came over here to china, I brought some Oxyclean to help with my laundry but when I opend up the suitcase it had spilled and a box of stuff that had blueish black ink on it got on the shirt!!!! *cries* Y.Y<br /><br />So Ive tried and tried to get the stain out but its not coming out!!! *panics* Its currently soaking right now and then Im gonna wash it. But I think thats all I can do. <br /><br />Its not REALLY noticable, but its still noticable. I have the pattern laid out and stuff, (i thought it might cover the stain but it doesnt) So once I finish washing it Im gonna pin on my skull and cross bones pattern and trace it and then paint it! <br /><br />But I did get my fabric paint yesterday! BUT once again it was a hassle like everything in china is!<br /><br />I look and look and finally find a store that has it. they are chinese brand fabric paints but they were cheaper and in larger bottles. So the thing is that you get a ticket and then bring that to the desk, pay for it , get another slip and bring that back to the ppl and pick up your stuff. <br /><br />Weelll...apparently they lied to me and DIDNT have the white that I needed! So I had already paid but they didnt have what I paid for. I then tried to get two small bottles of white but they were a different brand and a ONE small bottle cost more than the large bottles and I would have to pay much more!! I was getting sooo frustrated!!! So finally I just said no, and i want my money back! (china usually doesnt do refunds) But they finally did it and I got my money back!!<br /><br />So I was pissed but looked in other little dinky hole in the wall stores and finally found the EXACT SAME STUFF I WANTED! AND FOR ONLY A WEE BIT MORE! So I quickly grabed those and paid for them! <br /><br />Even tho it was hectic it was worth it! ^.^  So yeah Im gonna wash my shirt and see how that goes.<br /><br />But when (and if) I come to the states IM sooo getting a new shirt! One thats bigger too! But for now Ill just use this one I have. China wont have a shirt that will fit me. so yeah...<br /><br />well thats it! Just my cosplay delemas! *groan* >.< But hopefully itll work out! <br />Ill keep you guys posted! <br /><br />LOVE LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WOW! O_O Today was sooo increadibly hectic its not even funny!<br /><br />So first off we go to the custums government building which was like 40 min. away. Then we go to see this guy about me staying over my time limit. He was REALLY nice!!! ^.^ I was supposed to be charged for being over due for 15 days but he only charged me with 11. THEN I should have paid 5000RMB BUT he only charged me 500RMB!!! He said since it was my first time in china and that im young that its ok and left it at that!<br /><br />But we had to pay the money at a bank 3 blocks away! so we went there and had to wait in a que for an HOUR!! We needed to be back to the guy by 12 or his office would close and we would have to wait TWO HOURS before he came back. FINALLY, we got it and my friend ran all the way there and got it in on time! BUT THEN! *deep sigh* <br /><br />We had to wait in a que to get my new visa. So that take ANOTHER HOUR! BUT THAT JUST THE BEGINING! We get up there and they wont accept my pink resident form that I got when I came here because (its one of those pieces of paper that if you write on something on top of it it gets transfered to that piece of paper) well some how when I was signing a form with the overstay guy, the pink slip got underneath and got RUINED! <br /><br />So THEN we had to call up my hotel (they have the resident permits on file) and had them fax it to the place. It finally gets there BUT the expiration date is wrong. Its different from my other one. SO we call up the hotel again and ask to change the date, stamp it, and fax it again! <br /><br />After ALL THAT TROUBLE we finally got it done! But they have my passport. Itll be sent to me next Tuesday. But Im exhaushted now. BUT the cleaning ladies havent come and (from previous experiance) once I lay down for a nap they will come! So Im just wasting time....<br /><br />But tomorrow for sure Im DEFINATELY getting my fabric paint! then get to work on the shirt! WOOT! XD <br /><br />lol so yeah that my big day....>.<<br /><br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br />So my dad forgot about renewing my China Visa so I can be over here. Well...it expired and Im now an "Illegal Immigant"!!!! *runs and hides* <br /><br />This is freaky let me tell you! So today Im going with my dads old translator/good friend and she's taking me to get it renewed. But my dad says they will probably yell at me! *whines* I didnt do anything wrong! My dad forgot about it!!! T_T <br /><br />Im kinda scared to go. But it HAS to be done! Its not so bad that I will get put in jail but there will be a big fine! *cries* I REALLY wish all this shit would stop happening to me! *deep sigh* -_-<br /><br />So thats what Im doing today. We have to go early otherwise customs will be PACKED! so I got up at like 7 am! GAH! But now my friends running late so yeah.....>.><br /><br />Then tomorrow Ill probably have to go back and get my passport (you have to leave it there with them.) But I wanna try and get my fabric paints today or tomorrow somehow. I have a big itch to get it done! XD I cant wait! The design looks pretty good! So just enlarge it, trace it on, paint and wahla! XP (yeah i know i spelled that wrong) lol<br /><br />So yeah thats all thats been going on for me lately. I want to go shopping some more too! I know this place where I can get lolita stuff!!! ^w^ soo cute gothic things! So yeah! My moneys just burning a hole in my wallet! >.<; even tho its like my dads money but w/e!! Xb hehe....<br /><br />Thats all for now! Lets all hope I dont get in HUGE trouble for all of this! *is scared* Ill let you guys know how it went! <br /><br />LOVE LOVE  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I learned my mom is going to spend Christmas with the person shes dating. I was REALLY hurt by that! She doesnt even want to spend it with me. I havent seen her for 6 months now and it will be 8 months by the time I do see her. I can only "visit" tho! And we dont know WHEN OR HOW LONG! <br /><br />We dont know when we will be in the states. My dad doesnt even know if he'll have his contract renewed(the company hasnt said anything nor has his one in the US) and if they do he doesnt know if theyll let us leave for christmas. OR how long either!<br /><br />AND I wont be taking the SAT on Dec. 5th. We were going to submit stuff so I could get extra time on it but the due dates passed for the Dec 5th test. So we are working on getting all that ready for the Jan. 23 SAT test. BUT once again!, we might not be able to come back to the states for it. (if they renew my dads contract in china AND let us go for christmas, we only get a month, then have to wait 3 more months to go back again) Or I might just stay in the US until then and go back alone and my dad goes before me. <br /><br />SO! This is all killing me! I hate the "UNKNOWNS" >O< It makes me soo uneasy.<br /><br />But last night I got my panda sweater!!! Its SOOOO FREAKING KAWAII!! Its filled with panda awsomeness! X3 Ill post a pic of it when Im dont with this. along with <a href="http://sakeke.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/a/sakeke.gif" alt=":iconsakeke:" title="sakeke"/></a> 's art request. ^.^; I should have posted that awhile ago! -_- <br /><br />But Im working on WHAT I CAN on my Rhyme Bito cosplay. Im gonna go get black and white fabric paint later this week. I have her pink shirt already (tho I dont know if I like it, I want something bigger, its a little too tight. So Ill just make this one and when I go into the states I get another one. They are bound to have something since its winter)  So I drew out the skull and cross bones design on her shirt. <br /><br />I have to make it a tiny bit bigger and then cut it out and trace it on the shirt. The paint it of course! What Im hoping to do is have part of it done so I can wear part of it to the EA New Years event (if we go to the states and can stay a while, it looks like I will be going!!! W00T!!!) *throws confetti* XD<br /><br />So I would have the shirt, hat, and pendant done. I just want to wear something to it. (lol not that im going naked or anythign XP ) <br /><br />Also, If and When I get back to the US, I will order my Undertaker nails and makeup, Rhymes wig and Presea's wig. So yeah! It looks like this is all a REALLY GOOOOOOD POSSIBILITY!<br /><br />I just cant wait to come back to the states! I misss you guys sooo much!!!! Itll be fun to see you all again! <3 *huggles*<br /><br />LOVE LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well yesterday was FUCKING HELL! <br /><br />The first part went fine. I went to get coffee, and from there went to my SAT practice class. Those all went fine! <br /><br />It was until I got home that my world began crashing in on me...ONCE AGAIN! <br /><br />I had been home for not even 30 min. when my dad sits me down and says he has some bad news. Im like omfg! WHAT NOW!?!?! He explaines that he was looking online for a service to do his bills since my mom usually does them (and they are divorcing so he has to now) and he also looked at the our bills online. He said there were plane tickets to MN and Duluth and lots of dinner bills. All that my mom had purchased without telling us. There was only one conclusion: SHE WAS DATING SOMEONE! <br /><br />I litteraly died inside. My dad then calls up my mom, (Im just in on the bed crying my freaking eyes out thinking the world has ended) <br /><br />They talk to a long time and she finally admits she is seeing some one!!! BUT IN WISCONSIN!!! SHE H-A-T-E-D WISCONSIN! <br />I felt like she lied to me and stabbed me in the back. I couldnt believe it. The divorce isnt even complete yet! <br /><br />My mom hasnt been much of a mom to me the past year. My whole life I have looked up to her and regarded her as my idol. She has always helped me no matter what, is always there for me. But now,nothing.<br /><br />HELL! She frickin shipped me off to fuckin CHINA FOR CHIRST SAKES! I havent seen her in over 6 months. There is not even the slightest possibility of me EVER living with her again! NE-VER! And she doesnt want to even think or talk about me visiting!!!! And thru all this she keeps saying "i love you" but dont feel it. I dont believe it. She has shown me no love. I need proof. She probably does. But atm I feel nothing from her!<br /><br />But what gets me, is that shes paying money so see some GD bastard in FUCKING WISCONSIN THAT SHE FUCKING HATED! BUT WONT COME VISIT HER OWN FREAKING DAUGHTER!!! Yeah that shows alot that she really cares for me! Bull shit!<br /><br />Plus, I had asked her MULTIPLE times if she was seeing someone back when we lived in WI, and she denied it all. I could tell something was up. She would get dressed up to go out alone. heh yeah right! So she lied to me! To my face!<br /><br />She says we have no right to know. BUT as her DAUGHTER I have a right to know that she is at least seeing someone that is not my dad! I dont need to know details and such but I have a right to that just being her daughter!<br /><br />All last night my dad and I had a horrible time. Everytime I thought about my mom, deep HATERED would come up. Either that or I would feel as if she was dead to me. And It hurts that that would even happen.<br /><br />Idk what to do. Im lost. The pain inside is killing me slowly. I have no where to turn to. I dont have a home. Im stuck in china. My world has collapsed.<br /><br />I did call her this morning to clear some things up. I told her that i did not feel loved by her and that its as if shes not my mom. Of course she comes back saying "i will always love you and you are always gonna be my daughter no matter what. I care for you a lot and miss you" but she doesnt show it. So how can I feel it. She did clarify that when I asked her if she was seeing someone that she wasnt at that time. But later on yes. She also clarified another question I had. Awhile back I asked if she was ever going to get married again. She said "NO. Not for a long long time. Its not even a thought" but when I heard she was dating someone it make it seem like a lie again. She confirmed that she is not going to marry any one for a long time and that she doesnt love this guy. <br /><br />She said she's lonely and needed someone, and this guy paid attention to her and said she was pretty. which my dad didnt do often. It just makes me sick to think she is with someone else besides my dad. So badly that I was throwing up last night. <br /><br />I have no idea who or what to belive in anymore. My mom will say one thing and then my dad another. I dont know who to trust anymore. <br /><br />But for a good note (sorta) It looks like a big possibility that me and my dad will be coming to MN for christmas. Ill take my SAT there instead of FL now. So I will most likely be there for the EA event and maybe New Years too! So Im looking forward to seeing all of you! <3<br /><br />Thats all I have. I was debating on whether to post this but I need to get it off my chest.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ O MY FUCKING GOD! People piss me off so freaking much! Im sooo GD sick of this corupt world!!!<br /><br />I was watching TV and they were advertising Tyra Banks "Top Model" shit. They were saying its different because she's letting girls in who are shorter than 5'7"!!! And that it was sooo generous of her to give shorter girls a chance at modeling and that she's sticking up for underdog and crap! They kept saying "Beauty comes in small sizes too!" Well apparently thats all "beauty" comes in.  <br /><br />WHAT-THE-FUCK!?!?!<br /><br />oK what does it matter if your SHORTER!?!?!!? Honestly FUCKING HEIGHT does NOT MATTER!!! What she should be doing is letting larger, more robust women in!!! That WOULD MAKE A FUCKING DIFFERENCE!!! People need to open the GD eyes and look around them for once! There are JUST AS MANY LARGE WOMEN AS SMALL!!! <br /><br />There is no differce in letting "shorter" ppl in if they are still freakin sticks!!! theres no differences! <br /><br />One the same note, I was looking at some photography on DA and saw a nude photo of a larger woman!! I WAS SOO HAPPY TO SEE THAT!!! <br /><br />But assholes came on and started to flame and hate the picture. They said " 'Real' women dont look like that!!!" OMFG!! SERIOUSLY! There is nothing to difine a "real" woman! A girls a girl! One continued to say a "real woman has tits and a vagina" PPl came on bashing him! Im glad!<br /><br />Then other fucking assholes where saying that shes fat and ugly! WELL NEWS TO YOU BOYS, THE PICTURE IS NOT INTENDED TO "TURN YOU ON"!!!! LET ALONE MEANT FOR YOU SPECIFICALLY!! Others said girls dont look like that! REALITY CHECK PPL! LOTS OF WOMEN DO!!! <br /><br />Plus, ITS ART! THE ARTIST CAN DO WHAT EVER THE HELL HE WANTS!<br /><br />But there was a good side to it. PPl came on defending her and the artist, saying "its good to see women on DA who have curves, finally some one thats not a stick!, finally showing the true beauty of women, and ppl loved to see her! <br /><br />In my opinion it was a masterpiece!! <br /><br />Im sorry for this UBER RANT! BUT i had to let it out! Society is corrupt! Its all about sex,drug, and being skinny. The world needs to OPEN THEIR EYES AND REALIZE ALL THE BEAUTY AROUND THEM! <br /><br />Even tho "today" in society its supposedly good to be skinny, hundreds of years ago, in the Medeival Period, IT WAS BETTER TO BE LARGE AND BIG!!! That showed you had wealth and men like volumtuous women! But now is all fucked up! <br /><br />Im not trying to hate on the "skinny" ppl! This is not meant to be a flamer! I just want ppl to realize what they are saying! It hurts! BADLY! And honestly it makes me sick. All the men can think about is sex. (Honestly if i could id circumsise them all! ) no lie! <br /><br />I wish we ALL could get recognized for our beauty! small,short,tall,large, big, ect ect! Sexism needs to stop! Theres no such thing as a "perfect" woman OR man! Everyones equal! <br /><br />Ok Im sorry about that its just it was really getting to me. /rant<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Im glad things are going the way they are! ^.^<br /><br />granted there are still alot of crap happening in my family but that will be awhile before its all over. So yeah...just have to be patient.<br /><br />Yesterday I went and took an SAT assesssment test. It was just to see where I was at. I scored around 1,300 or around there! For not studying AT ALL I think I did pretty well. I skipped most of the math questions because its been over 2 and half years since Ive taken math class!! *headdesk* so Im going back on Mondays now and taking a lesson course to prep me for it!<br /><br />Im hoping to take the SAT sometime in December! GUESS WHAT THAT MEANS!?!?! Ill be coming back to the US!!!! *goes crazy* XDDDD Its not final or anything yet, like where exactly I would go but it looks promising! n_n hehe! <br /><br />Im relived things are going well! For awhile there it all seemed hopeless...But now i have good feelings about things! <br /><br />So thats all thats really going on. I bought a bunch of movies yesterday including District 9, G-Force, some zombie movie, a Miyavi PV DVD <3 <3 , Transformers 2, and a Studio Ghilbi movie (but i got the wrong one, I wanted The Cat Returns, but got something different >.< ) Anyways my dads gone tonight so itll be MOVIE NIGHT!!! W00T!!! Excited about that!<br /><br />Yesterday I created like FIVE more Elemental Dragoons!! I think Im doing well with that. Also I finished Luca and his best friend....still need a name for him tho. Probably going to be Ryoma.

Im just going thru one of the hardest times in my life right now. And I dont know what to do about it. I just wish everything was better, but that cant happen. <br /><br />Ive been down on myself ALOT lately for multiple reasons. I just want to get started with my life. I dont want to be held back any further. I wanna live the life a normal 19 yr old should be living! Going to college and being independant! But I dont know how im gonna do it with my clothing problem. Im trying REALLY hard to change. <br /><br />I have soo much going on its not even funny! *dies* Its over whelming! X_x <br /><br />I am going to sign up for SAT priactice on the 8th. (I know i was shocked they had SAT practice in china, but its for the expats) So HOPFULLY that will get me started in a direction! Then I can start planning out some things. But once again I need to get over alot of crap.....-_-<br /><br />OH! Ive created 3 more characters to go with DeaMon but he will no longer be DaeMon. Im gonna totally (well sorta) redo him in a way. i still have one more character to create tho. So well see, I might up load the 3 that I did today. AND Im moving DaeMon the Demon to my scraps. So thats just whats been going on! <br /><br />I miss you guys soo much! *huggles tightly*<br /><br />LOVE LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />It<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ :EDIT: Ok WTF!?!! I feel even shittier now! (i dont think thats a word tho...XD ) I write a journal about how NO ONE GOT MY KIRIBAN AND FEEL LIKE THEY DIDNT EVEN TRY/WANT TO/ LIKE MY ART and no one responds to it. Im not saying ppl have to respond to it, its just it confirms what I posted and thought. And that hurts. I dont know why ppl didnt want my kiriban and an my art. It confuses me. <br /><br />And maybe Im looking into this too deep, but idk. I could just be overreacting. <br /><br />As far as anything else goes, last nights Miyazaki symphony orchestra waa AMAZING!!! I had a great tiem!!! Me and my dad were the ONLY foreigners there tho!! XD lol it was kinda awkward...but the place was packed!! During the music for each of the movies, they would show clips from the movies. I was really nice! I REALLY enjoyed it! ^.^ Im glad I could go to it! <br /><br />Other than that....nothing else new. Still kinda just hanging out. Ive been working on some CS4 stuff and might/probably put them up. granted Im not good with the computer and stuff but they look ok...considering I still am not sure what Im doing exactly >.><br /><br />:END EDIT:<br /><br /><br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br /><br />Well im kinda upset. NO ONE GOT MY KIRIBAN!! and frankly i feel like no one tried. It makes me feel like no one wants any of my art/dont like my art! It kinda pisses me off....I cant even begin to describe how shitty I feel....<br /><br />other than that nothing new. still same old shit going on. <br /><br />The only good thing is that tonight im going to a Miyazaki/Studio Ghilbi symphony orchestra! It has music from lots of his movies! Im excited to go see that! I love the music! <3 <br /><br />so yeah thats it....<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today my mom called my dad and said she wants to finallize the divorce. Its over. My family is gone. They still have to go thru all the legal stuff. I was in so much pain I just numbed it out. But I couldnt do that for long.<br /><br />Soon after my dad started a deep hard conversation with me that has changed my life. He said that we might be living in china for quite a while!!! I totally FREAKED OUT! Theres NO WAY I can stay here longer. I W-I-L-L D-I-E H-E-RE!!!! Im already wasting away! Theres nothing for me here! NOTHING! ITS HELL! <br /><br />He continues to go on saying that if he went back to his old job in the US, he will get paid only half of what he makes now, which is not enough to pay off the huge debt, support me and him, and pay the money to my mom for the divorce. He said we would have basically nothing. And if we do that, we might have to move to Charlotte, NC for his job!! He also said theres a possibility of us being out on the streets if he doesnt have a job!!! <br /><br />The worst part of it is that I cant go home. I DONT HAVE a HOME!! I have nothing! I cant live with my mom because of past incidences and she doesnt want me there. Im really scared! Im lost! I dont know what to do! I miss her soo much! It hurts! I need my mom! I havent seen her in MONTHS and it might be a VERY LONG time before I see her again if at all and im scared to death about that! <br /><br />On top of all that, my disorder is getting worse. Im basically bed ridden. Im in such a deep depression and in so much pain i cant do anything. All I can do is make it to get coffee and thats it. I cant wear any new clothes or anything! Im wearing old ones! I cant even put on a new pair of socks! My sensory stuff is thru the roof! I cant do anything! I can barely wear my glasses and they look like hell! They are bent about 2 in. from my face and are lopsided. I look retarded! <br /><br />And due to all this, Im being held back from life. I have not yet taken SATs/ACTs, because i cant motivate my self to do them. I dont think I can even do college. My parents think so too. They say I need 24/7 assissted living. They dont think I can handle college and frankly, I doubt it too. <br /><br />I HATE IT because I feel soo damn retarted! I cant do a single thing! All the while my friends are going to college and getting on with their lives! While im stuck and cant move. I feel soo stupid that Im behind everyone!! I FEEL SOO FUCKING RETARDED!!! Im emotionally handicaped! I have no life....<br /><br />I want to get a job, but once agian im held back. NO ONES GONNA HIRE SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE I DO! I soo badly want a job! Something to give me purpose! Something where I can feel proud of myself! But I cant get past my clothing thing so its impossible to get a job. <br /><br />I miss my friends and family sooo increadible FUCKING MUCH!! All I wanna do is be with them. When Im around my friends I feel loved and that makes me feel like I can do anything! But I have no one here...im all alone. <br /><br />Plus! My parents think im childish and immature because Im into anime and obessed with everything! They think its all stupid! They think its childish of me to wear cosplays and stuff! That thats all i do! But I have nothing else to do! Its all I have! Its one of the few things in life that make me remotley happy. <br /><br />So I wont be getting the wigs and other stuff. My mom says she's too "busy". <br /><br />I dont know when Im coming back to the US if at all. All my plans that I have are ruined. I cant work on cosplays or plan conventions. I HIGHLY doubt now that I will be able to go to AD! <br /><br />I feel like my life is over! Just 2 years ago everything was perfect! My family was getting along, we had a nice HOUSE one the water, had a good amount of money to keep us happy but now nothing!!! My dad had promised to get me a new car but now we cant even afford an old beat up one. He doesnt even have a car! <br /><br />Nothing is going right! Its all just getting worse and worse!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Things have been going pretty well for me! Im happy to say! ^.^ Idk it could be because my dad has been gone most of the week ....>.<; anyways...<br /><br />This week in china is the national holiday. Its the ONLY time in the WHOLE YEAR that the ppl get vacation!!! O_O yeah they dont have sick days or vacation time off. This is it!<br />They take it UBER serioulsy! theres decorations all over! ...im just hoping my coffee place will still be open....XP lol<br /><br />other than that, nothing much. Im mad because Im behind on my anime!! *shakes fist and curses* GRRRRRRR!!! Its because the VPN that I use to go to the sites that china blocks wont work. Its probably 'cus everyones off and on the computers here since its vaca for them.<br /><br />But IM MAD!!! I cannt go on FB!!! Y.Y I wanted to upload some pics of EVERYTHING that Ive boughten in China soo far! (and show off my awsome beautiful silk shoes!!) :3 But like i said i cant connect up to it.<br /><br />Also, as a reminder to you all! ...im less than 30 pg view away from my 12k Kiriban!!! keep a watch out for it and good luck! <3<br /><br />On other news, Ive been trying to buy a couple of items off ebay, but i cant do it from China. It blocks my dads account and he has to wait till he gets to the US to call ebay and reactivate it! O-o so yeah its kinda a hassle. But i want to order my presea wig and Rhyme Bito wig. The Rhyme wig is styled after Atoli from Hack GU but it looks more like Rhyme than the character it was styled after! XD and im just getting a plain pink wig for Presea and will style it later.

                <description><![CDATA[ :EDIT: ok! OMG! I had an AMAZING!!! time shopping today! I got everything I needed and more!!! And I bargained the hell out of everything so i got like more than 50% off EVERYTHING THAT I BOUGHT!! W00T!!! XD *is proud of self*<br /><br />I got the bell for Cheshire Cat!! Although its pretty banged up...im gonna need to spray paint it gold again. And its not as big and has little stars on it but it will work! ^w^ Im just happy I found it!!<br /><br />As for the coin belt thing that the Undertaker wears i couldnt find the right stuff so I just got something that looks like it. I might find EXACTLY what im looking for in the states tho! But I just wanted to get it just in case! <br /><br />AND!!! I am sooo proud of myself! I bought a pair of handmade silk shoes that are pink and has flowers on them for my Taiwan cosplay! They were originally 468rmb (that would be $68.54 in USD!!) BUT I bargained sooo friggin much! I got them for 200rmb!!!!! (thats $29.29 USD!!!!) im sooo happy about that! I didnt even want to spend that much but they are soooooo nice! ^w^ I looove them! And they came in my size which is a surprise!! I had looked at other shops but they were all too cheap and too small for my big feet >.<; so yeah!!!I also bought two fans for my Taiwan cosplay as props! I dont need two i just liked both of them and couldnt decide so i got both and we'll see which one works best! Ones better quality than the other and i like it more...i think..but they are both pink with flowers! :3<br /><br />THEN!!!!!! I went to the anime store near there and bought a Pandora Hearts keychain (its of B-Rabbits scythe!! <3 ) and then a Kuroshitsuji necklace (it has the Phantomhive emblem on it!! <3 <3 ) sooo i made out REALLY well today!! AND THEY ARE NOT BOOTLEGS!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! *happy dance*<br /><br />Ok thats it for the edit<br /><br />:END EDIT:<br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Hi all! Everythings been going pretty well for me lately! Im SUPER relived about that! *deep sigh of relife* AHHH.....n_n <br /><br />So like in and hour and a half im going to go to an art type market craft thingy! XP There Im hoping to get my bell for the Cheshire Cat cosplay and some gold coin stings for the Undertaker. Then right across from that is a little shopping place where EVERY THING is 2rmb!! Thats like $.29!!!! so there I am going to look for sandals for Taiwan (dont know if ill find any that fit me...i have HUGE feet expecially compared to the chinese!!! >.<  and look for a fan for her! Then ill head over to an anime store and get some kuroshitsuji stuff that I KNOW is NOT bootleg! So im excited for that! :3 hehe!<br /><br />OK as my last Journal stated, My 12K kiriban is coming up fast!!! *da dum dum* Im less than 70 pg views away from it! so keep on the look out! ^.^ good luck to all of you!<br /><br /><br />Ok heres a survey stollen from <a href="http://sylus08.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/y/sylus08.png?2" alt=":iconsylus08:" title="sylus08"/></a>  :<br /><br /><br /><br />THINGS ABOUT ME ...<br /><br />(001) Your gender: female<br /><br />(002) Straight/gay/bi?: Straight<br /><br />(003) Single?: sadly yes....<br /><br />(004) Want to be?: NOOO!

                <description><![CDATA[ So, things have been going just "alright" for me. Im still really lonely and depressed. Its still hard for me to get out of the appartment and do things. All Ive been able to do is go get coffee, go to japanese lessons once a week, and accupunture once a week. <br /><br />Ive been meaning to go out and get some cosplay materials that will be UBER cheap, so i dont have to spend alot in the U.S. for them. Plus it would just be easier and I'd already have a start on things.<br /><br />So my dad's and I's relation ship is really rocky. A couple of days ago he realized that it was HIM that gives me stress ect ect. He said he'd lay off and not bother me any more. Well the next day he starts bombarding me with more difficult questions that I just cant handle right now! I dont know what to do with him! I try to explain my self but he just doesnt listen! Its totally pointless! *headdesk*<br /><br />I just want to go home! Im lonely and homesick! TT^TT But Im worried about the future and crap. But I dont want to think about it right now. <br /><br />So Im stuggling to get by but I know I'll be alright! It'll just take some time! BABY STEPS! X3 lol <br /><br />Its been good tho, ive been occupied with art. Its made things easier and given me a purpose. Something to do! I did <a href="http://narii.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/n/a/narii.jpg?1" alt=":iconnarii:" title="narii"/></a> 's art trade and am now almost finished with <a href="http://frayu-typo.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/f/r/frayu-typo.jpg" alt=":iconfrayu-typo:" title="frayu-typo"/></a> 's art trade! It should be up sometime today! ^.^ <br /><br />So yeah that just an update on things. I was getting sick of that last emo jounal. (not that this one is all sunshine and rainbows >.< ) But yeah!<br /><br />I miss all you guys terribly! I cant wait to get home and see all of you! <br /><br />LOVE LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Everythings getting a little better. Ive calmed down alot now. But theres always the anxiety i have. (dont ask over what its just over life) <br /><br />But my dad is trying to get things together for when we come back. He keeps switching his mind and bringing up new ideas as what we should do.<br /><br />Today he asked what I thought about staying in China for EIGHT MORE FREAKING MONTHS!! *jumps off cliff* O_O <br /><br />I was like hell no! I cant do it! I can barely take the three more months as it is!! Staying longer is not an option for me!<br /><br />So we got into a disscussion about what I wanted to do and what my plans were. I told him I would like to go back around the begining of December and stay in MN for alittle while and see my firends. While there start looking at places for me to live in Florida and practice SATs ACTs. Then move down to florida get an appartment and find a job and apply for college.<br /><br />He just had a whole bunch of "what ifs" and seemed to be very pessimisstic about it all. Hes like " how are you going to get from MN to FL? Where will you stay in MN for a month? How will you get around? And once I get back I'll be at work so I cant help you! Then say you do do that where will you get the money. And who will help you look for an appartment? Do you really thing you can get a job with all your clothing disabilities? How are you going to find a job?"<br /><br />X.X I was sooo over whelmed! I didnt know what to do! He asked what my idea's where and I told him! Im new at all this stuff! Ive never done it before! He said they are "unrealistic" but to me they seem doable! Idk! Im going insane! <br /><br />I dont know what he want from me! I told him when i get to florida Ill look for abppartmens and take my sats and apply for a job and college! I want to start doing things on my OWN!! I want to have a purpose in life! Something I will learn from and get something out of! I want to be like everyone else my age! <br /><br />Im just soo confused and frustrated! It seems like nothings working out! I have no idea what we are going to do! <br /><br />As of now...it seems to me like ill just begoing to Florida first and once everything is set up for me there and I have money Ill be able to go to MN. <br /><br />It makes me sad tho cus i had told everyone that I was probably going to be there for a little while! I and i done want to let them down! I want to see everyone soo much! BESIDES I HAVE PRESENTS FOR PPL!!!<br /><br />*sigh* I try and please my dad but it seems he is never happy. I just wish I could do something right at some point in time! <br /><br />Im soo lost. I thought my dad would be happy to hear that i want a job and go to college and study and take SATs/ACTs but i dont know anymore. Im doing the best I can do!<br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br />OK heres what I have so far!:<br /><br />Key:<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpink.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpink:" title="Bullet; Pink" />  Pink=in progress/almost done,<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Red= soon to come,<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" /> white= priority,<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> Blue=want to do,<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblack.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblack:" title="Bullet; Black" /> Black=maybe/dont know, <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /> Yellow=finished<br /><br /><br /><br />FINISHED: <br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /> Mokona Modoki<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /> Hiei Fan Girl<br /><br />FUTURE:<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpink.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpink:" title="Bullet; Pink" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" />  Presea Combatir- Tales of Symphonia (25% done)<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpink.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpink:" title="Bullet; Pink" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bullet; White" />  Rhyme Bito- The World Ends With You (33% done)<br />:bulltepink: <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletwhite.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletwhite:" title="Bulle... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Im sick of it. I cant hide it anylonger. I cant keep pretending everythings all "sun shine and rainbows"! <br /><br />I HATE MY GD LIFE!<br /><br />Its all one big joke. The pain never goes away. If anything, its getting worse. I wish I wasnt the person I am. I wish I could just be normal. I hate that I've been cursed with this disorder! It makes life nothing but hell!<br /><br />I dont know why, (ive tried soooo hard to figure it out), but its hard for me to make friends. I know its part of my disorder but i wish I knew how to fix it. I try soooo increadibly FREAKING HARD! And I either just get rejected, or somehow manage to pick up the wrong "friends". They end up using me and stabbing me in the back. This has been going on since I can remember! since Montesory school! It never changes....BUT<br /><br />DONT GET ME WRONG ON THIS! THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ANYONE ON DEVIANT ART OR OTHER PPL IN REAL LIFE! (the story is soon to come) I DO get some REALLY good friends! And I love and care for them very much! I'd do anything for them! I appreciate everything they do! <br /><br />But even when I do make great friends, i either move or something else happends and it tears me apart.<br /><br />I know ive been keeping in contact with most of you and i WILL CONTINUE TO! I HOPE you will to.<br /><br />Ok. The reason for all this emotion had been here for a long time. Theres lots of underlying stuff but theres no need to go into that....<br /><br />You know how I said I made some "friends"? Well it turns out I didnt really. They were nice when we talked online...but once we met,meaning once they saw me (because ppl reject me because of how i look. I cant wear a bra and my glasses are lopsided on my face because i dont like them touching me and I wear a bag for a dress and am over weight) They didnt really ever want to do anything after that. <br /><br />The girl doesnt txt me at all. Ive been stuck inside my appartment because im ashamed and embarrassed to go out side because everyone looks,points, and laughs at me when I go out side. I keep pretending that their not there.<br /><br />well anyways, i txt her today and ask if she wants to do something. her response was "I guess...but not now im busy" so I was like ok what ever.<br /><br />What really got me was with Dominic today. Ever since he saw and met me he never txts me. I txt and he responds but it wasnt like before we met. Before he was nice and started conversations and was talkative. now...nothing...<br /><br />so my i asked him if he wanted to do something. He said he was just waking up and then going to the arcades. Well, he didnt invite me to go. But thats ok. whatever. Then I asked if he wanted  to make plans for next weekend. He said "my parents are coming next weekend and i have to show them around"......i was slowly getting the hint.....so I asked one last question...I asked if we could do something just "WHEN EVER HE HAD A CHANCE" his response was "maybe. But i might be working on weekends now after this weekend..." <br /><br />I GOT IT! He obviously doenst want to do anything! Im just some freak! And the worst part of it I guess was that i had kinda started to like him....<br /><br />The thing with that is, IVE NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND! AND HONESTLY DONT THINK I EVER WILL! No ones ever liked me! There may have been one but i was being a wuse and didnt do anything about it because he was my best guy friend at the time and I was afraid if i told him how i felt and he rejected me, our friendship wouldnt be the same. well...we dont even talk anymore anyways! So i blew it!<br /><br />ok enough of that story! I just want someone to love me! Someone to hold me, kiss me and tell me they love me. But somehow, i know in my heart thats never going to happen...who could love someone like me?<br /><br />Im scared that im just going to die alone. I just want someone! And Im not saying im easy or anything! BELIEVE ME IM NOT! in my entire life theres only been 3 boys that i truly liked! ....they all happen to be my best guy friends at the time too....there have been some other "intrests" but i know its not gonna happen and give up. <br /><br /><br />Im sorry if this annoys any of you. Im not trying to start a "pity party". I have kept my self from making a journal like this. I dont really like ppl to know about all this cus then they might leave me as a friend or something cus im annoying and too emotional and weak ect ect....<br /><br />I just couldnt keep it in any longer. After today, i had to let it out. And to be honest, i feel better. Ive stopped crying. I feel ok for the moment and thats all that matters to me right now..<br /><br />so as i said before, Im sorry if this annoys you! I really am! And none of this has to do with any of you out there! The friendships i have now (besides the two duds here in china that are nothing) mean sooo much to me and I miss you guys terribly!  They are REAL! I know when I am liked and loved. <br /><br />I thank you all. You are... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok wow! so much has gone on! For one Ive been really stressed out lately. Im worried I wont get my cosplays done in time (even tho I only know what con im going to for only one of them) -_- so yeah....i just wish they had more stuff here. They have fabric (AND CHEAP TOO! :3 ) but i dont have a way of bringing it home and i dont have my patterns and there are no patterns here to buy. Plus no sewing machine ect ect....<br /><br />Then Ive been really bored lately. Well...not so much its just that there arent very many things to do. And Im sad to say this but my dad is really irritating me! Its hard to live with your dad! On top of that, Im starting to look into colleges and thats a pain in the ass! *dies* sooo boring! and time consuming! GAH! *falls over* <br /><br />So yeah theres alot of difficulties with the college thing. My parents dont think I can do it alone. I somewhat agree. But I dont need to go to a "disability" school! I want to major in fine arts! Im currently looking at USF (university of south florida) and UCF (university of central florida) but they are kinda hard to get into..somewhat...<br /><br />But all the stuff i need to do to apply for them I have to wait to do back in the states! like i still have to take my SATs and stuff! >.> so theres alot of stress there!<br /><br />BUT ON GOOD NEWS!...(i think its good news XP ) Im going to go pick up my contacts today! Im REALLY nervous about it tho! Im afraid they will bother me. Ill just have to get use to them. But it will make my life sooooo much easier! *deep sigh of relief* and it would make my cosplays work better too! That way I wouldnt have to continually take them off for a photo!<br /><br />But I have and astigmatism so contacts are gonna be hard. Sometimes they will move around and Ill have to blink a couple times to fix it. But Im worried Ill feel the contacts. Ive been told many times I wont feel them but knowing me and my SUPER sensitivity idk...so im just gonna give it a try! my glasses arent working for me now so yeah! But i think im most scared to put and take them out of my eyes! Thats kinda creepy to me!!! XD<br /><br />other than that most of its been good. Im sick and tired of my parents telling me im not an "adult" EVEN THO IM FREAKIN 19!!!!!!!! GOD! It pisses me off so much! im legaly an adult! but they say I can take care of my self/provide for my self and because i dont act mature! WTF!! I can soo act mature! Ive changed alot since being here! I would have never have had the curage to get my own taxi and ride alone and meet ppl off the internet! But Im doing fine! <br /><br />Just cus i dont act/like the things they want me to doesnt me im NOT mature! GRRRRRR!!! *grumble grumble*<br /><br />ok thats enough of my semi-ranting. so yeah thats whats all been going for me! OH! yesterday I had accupuncture again and had 30 needles in my back and 7 on my legs!!!! it was kinda cool! :3<br /><br />so thats all for now folks! <br /><br /><br />LOVE LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />P.S.

                <description><![CDATA[ So everythings been going pretty well for me! Im having a pretty good time! Im just sooo glad i found some friends. Dont know how often I will see them since they have school and work tho...T^T so yeah<br /><br />So I went back to the craft place on Monday and bought some more stuff. (actually just the same stuff different sizes >.< ) I think Im going to make two different versions of Taiwans flower hair piece. Im just missing one vital piece...the HAIR CLIP!!! *falls over* -_-;<br /><br />so Ill just get those set up. Im haveing a problem now because I have NO FREAKIN IDEA how im suppossed to get all this stuff home! Especially with out breaking! so Im trying to work things out....we'll see how that goes.<br /><br />I went back to Comic City yesterday and bought a BUNCH OF STUFF!! for like $20 USD i got a Hetalia art book ( got it to see if there were pics of Taiwan...they had everyone BUT her! so upset!! still awsome tho! ) then I bought a six piece set of mini figurines of Kurositsuji, a Sebastion necklace (but i realize now its bootleg so im going to get a real one so if anyones interested in buying it from me let me know it will be uber cheap), I also bought a Cafe Kichijiyoji bag!!! Sooo kawaiii!! Hehe! :3 , <br /><br />Then I bought <a href="http://narii.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/n/a/narii.jpg?1" alt=":iconnarii:" title="narii"/></a> 's present! She'll be happy its a Kaito Kid flashing keychain!! the only kaito kid thing I could find! <3<br /><br />I still am having a hard time figureing out what Im going to get for some of the rest of you! I dont really know what to get theres soo much stuff. So if Nou, Tori, Brittany, Heather, and Jonsey have an idea what they want I can try and get it (it has to be cheap tho)<br /><br />Plus like I said I have no idea how im going to bring all this stuff home! It cost about $150 to ship something to the US!!! X_x *dies* so yeah...small things! XD<br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />OK Since most people are doing this I decided to do it: <br /><br />COSPLAY LIST:<br /><br />Finished:<br />Mokona Modoki<br /><br />Future cosplays:<br />Presea Combatir-Tales of Symphonia (20% done)<br />Rhyme Bito- The World Ends With You (31% dont)<br />Taiwan- Axix Powers Hetalia (0% done)<br />Ryo-oki- Tenchi Muyo (0% done) <br />Dororo- Keroro Gunso (0% done)<br /><br />Thats all I have atm. I have my hands pretty full. Trying to decide if I should make some stuff here but it would be hard getting it back to the US without breaking like Presea's necklace jewel. so yeah I think Im gonna work on Taiwans flower today. Its flat so i need to make it stick up more. XD <br /><br />LOVE LOVE <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WOW! I had a great day yesterday with Dominic! It was awsome! I had a great time! <br /><br />We met up at a metro train station. From there we went over to Comic City and looked around alot. He was fast at looking at things where I like to take my time but that was ok! I got a Hatsune Miku bag and <a href="http://frayu-typo.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/f/r/frayu-typo.jpg" alt=":iconfrayu-typo:" title="frayu-typo"/></a> 's gift. (I didnt have time to look for everyone else's but ill get them! dont worry! ^.^ ) So we walked around and just chatted about EVERYTHING for a while and then he asked if I was hungry and so we went over to a western type restaurant called Element fresh and ate there. We talked about eveything once again! He's soo cool! <br /><br />So then we just wondered around talking for awhile and then it was time to go home so he flagged down a cab for me and said good bye. I like him alot! .....and hes cute too!! >w< hehe....<br /><br />But today Im meeting up with him and another girl Van to go and get coffee or something. So Im excited about that! I cant wait! Im having a great time!!! *giggles* <br /><br />Its not so bad being here once you have friends to hangout with and talk to! Especially ones that share the same interests as you! so yeah everythings going great! <br /><br />BUT I STILL MISS YOU GUYS ALOT!! <br /><br />Love love <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "EDIT:<br /><br />OK! so i found some HUGE depo store that has just about every thing (ok they are missing some vital things) that a cosplayer needs! they had beads fabric, belt buckles, string, chains, fabric galore, ornaments, ect ect!<br /><br />So I have some stuff to make Taiwans flower that she wears its just I dont know what is more accurate. there are 3 ways Ive seen ppl have her. 1. she has one flower with yellow tassels <br />2. she has two plain flowers on each side of her head 3. she has a cluster of plain flowers on the right side of her head. <br /><br />I got stuff to do the one with the yellow tassel. I have the flower (dont know if im happy with it or not...i think it needs to be bigger so i might get a new one) and i have the tassel. All i need is a hair barrette which they did not have at the mega store TO MY SURPIRSE! they had everything BUT that! I was semi-annoyed >.><br /><br />I would like to know other peoples preferance or what they think is more accurate. It would be much appreciated!!! So please let me know! Thanks!<br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br />Ok so Ive been doing better. Ive been really emotionaly lately and easily up set and stuff. It all started actually when I started the acupuncture! The doctor said my hormone levels will be outta whack for a while due to it. He even wanted a blood sample to check the hormone levels. So I think thats whats wrong with me. Its the acupuncture. <br /><br />But its kinda like cleaning out a closet. You have to get everything torn up and messy before you can make it all nice and clean! XD lol (yeah i dont know if that was a good similie or not! e_e ) AAANYYYYWAAAYYYS!!!!!......:3<br /><br />There's a website that I use here that's for expats (ppl not native to china or shanghai) and Ive started a few threads and such. Well Ive been contacted by a couple ppl wanting to make friends with me! I was sooooo happy! *happy dance* ^w^<br /><br />They are both my age. Onces a girl from Ukraine but Vietnamese origin named Van and another is a guy named Dominic from Singapore! Im trying to get to gether with them at some point! <br />But I text Dominic constantly! Hes awsome! We talk about anime and cosplay all the time! He so cool! I think all i did yesterday was text him! <br /><br />So Im happy that Im making friends! ^.^ It makes me feel better and not as lonely....even tho I have yet to meet them! -_-<br /><br />The only problem is that they havent seen me or how I look/dress. Im worried once we meet that they will not want to be around me. I know thats silly and stuff buy its still a fear of mine. And I know that if they dont except me then they are not worth having as friends. <br /><br />but yeah thats about it! Im doing much better! AND i might have found a craft place! I think im going to go check it out today! <br /><br />I LOVE AND MISS YOU GUYS!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ :EDIT:<br /> I would really like some feed back here! I would really appreciate it! So if its not to much to ask please tell me what you think! Thanks you! <br /><br />Ive been feeling pretty down lately. I have no one here. Im all alone. I miss my friends very much and it hurts to be away from ppl I love and care for. Im running out of things to do! I just sit in my appartment in all my misery! (which isnt helpful btw) I look forward to hearing from my friends and reading comments left by them but I dont get very many. <br /><br />Im not blaming anyone for how I feel or anything. I just wish some of my friends would talk to me more. And I understand about the time difference but Im willing to stay up all night to talk to you! But when I ask ppl to get skype or something they just say they dont have it. I wish ppl would try and put some effort into keeping contact with me. <br /><br />Im sorry if Im ranting/being emo! I dont have journals like this often! Im just hurting really bad inside. And I dont know how to deal with it. Im doing the best I can do! And this all doesnt have to do with ppl not responding to journals or anything. It has to to with my own shit. I am just so increadibly lonely.<br /><br />Ive tried to do stuff here in Shanghai, but all there is to go out and do is shop and eat! and (to my surpise) Im getting kinda sick of it. I wish there was more for me to do! REALLY liked it when I was working on my props and art. It gave me more things to do. Thats one reason why I would like some to answer my question about comissions. <br /><br />I would work more on my cosplays, but I cant. I have no sewing machine, and if I bought one itd be pointless because i leave in 3 months and wont be able to bring it back. And like I said below, the supplies are limited....well they might not be but i dont know where the hell i would find them! >.> so yeah.....<br /><br />And I know im am ranting/being emo in this journal, but please if you respond do it  only if you have advice or something nice to say. I dont think I could take something hard. (this has to do with the way ppl in china treat me. they treat me like dog shit! They stare and laugh and point at me all the time! And it hurts alot! I try to over looking but its hard to when it happens when ever you step outside. Last night i didnt want to go outside for that reason and went to the hotels restaurant. but the same thing happend! <br /><br />They of course sat me right in front of everyone and the door. It was a table for two you know the ones where one sides a bench and the other a chair. Well I was trying to get to the bench but the lady was in the way. so I had to go around on the other side, but I couldnt fit. Because im a bigger sized person. so i moved the table out so I could sit down. The stupid lady then just BURST OUT LAUGHING AT ME!! ovioulsly do to how fat I was. (and no im not over reacting it was the truth) They girls working then proceeded to stand together and watch me as i ate and they would whisper and giggle as i did so. Even the manager would come by and smirk at me! The watched my like i was some kinda circus monkey! I couldnt enjoy my dinner at all! I was so paranoid and hurt by it!<br /><br />So yeah alot has been going on. I just....oh i dont know! I wish I had friends with me right now! Or even my cat! I miss her soooo much! <br /><br />Thats all I have to say. Im done now.<br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br />Ok. Well, after making some of my Rhyme cosplay props, I was wondering if I should start doing comissions for props! I (not to be cocky or anything) think I do pretty well with them and they turn out really well.<br />D<br />I wanna know what you guys think? Do you think I should start commissions? Is my work good enough? ect. ect. <br /><br />The only thing is, I wouldnt be able to start comissions for awhile. It wouldnt be possible to do it in China. I would have no way to get them to the person and theres a big change of it breaking in the process. I would start right away once I came back to the US. But I might be able to do some small things, like pins and jewelry. But my supplies are VERY VERY limited over here. They have no craft stores. So itll be hard to get materials needed.<br /><br />But anyways, PLEASE let me know! I would like to try and get something started about it if possible! Thanks!<br /><br />LOVE LOVE! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

And it only works in china, but I can get a new carrier once i go back to the states. the only thing is, I use sprint and they dont allow iphones. so ill have to get at&t or somethin. <br /><br />I got it used. My dads pilot friend was going to get the newest one and this is only a year old!! so we got it for like $300!!! Its soooo uber nice!!! >w< I wuv it!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <br /><br />so yeah my dads been gone all freakin week and ive just been alone in the apt. It gets pretty boring. I just hope its not like this all the time...which it probably will be...but nothin i can do 'bout it!<br /><br />OMG!! I might go see (and when i see might its like a 95% chance) a Hayao Miyazaki symphony!! It has all the music from his movies like My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky. ect, ect,!!! That would be AAMMAAAZZZIINNGGG!!!<br /><br />Thats on oct. 1st. then on oct. 2 I really wanna go see DBSK!!! (Dong Bang Shin Ki for those of you who dont know its a korean hip hop group) I REALLY REALLY wanna see them!!! But the only thing is, is that they are right after eachother and I dont know if I can go to both!!! I wanna go to both! I CANT CHOOSE!! D< GRRR!!! <br /><br />so we'll see how it goes! My dad might be working those days too..but I might just go myself!!! XD (i know my way around town pretty well now!) (but thats only a small part..shanghai's sooo big!! 22 billion ppl!! or was it million..idk...)<br /><br />so yeah thats whats been going on with me!!! I gave up on the watchmen crap. too much for me! <br /><br />Hope all of you are doing great!!!

                <description><![CDATA[ ok. so i just watched WATCHMEN and im soooo confused!!! Here are my questions:<br /><br />why did mr. manhattan leave and where did he go? And did he love jupiter or not!?!? If so why didnt he stay with her? (I personally dont like her with dan) and then why did he kill rorsach? (sp i know) was it because he was going to tell what adrian was doing? and why didnt mr.manhattan kill adrian? <br /><br />In the end, mr. manhattan comes to realize the importance of humanity, yet he just kinda leaves it to be destroyed. (and he realized this thru lori so why did he leave her again? I mean she still loves him! they kissed at the last scene! and then with her and dan they say the hope he is looking down upon them) Im soo confused!!!!!! <br /><br />Im sooo lost and mad i cant even begin to describe it!!! I HATED the ending!! and what happens to adrian?!?!!? they just leave them standing there? and did he end up destroying the other cities since he already destroyed new york? <br /><br />I NEED HELP HERE PPL!! ITS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!! IM GONNA GO CRAZYY!!! HEEEEEEEELLP!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok. So Ive been here like almost 3 weeks and it seems like 3 months!!! I REALLLY L-O-V-E it here in China!...but it gets pretty boring when my dad leaves for work (which is almost every day and hes gone the whole day) <br /><br />Ive already read 2/3 mangas I brought. Im way far in a ds game that I just started 8 days ago, and im running out of bootleg dvds to watch!!!! *dies* I just dont know what to do with my self!!!<br /><br />I do get out everyday and walk to my coffee shop and have a latte and toffee muffin. I also walk other places sometimes too, but its just so darn HOT OUT!!! Its KILLER!!! X_X<br /><br />And the only person I talk to is my dad....and thats not always the greatest! -.-;  so yeah...I want to make friends but dont know how. I dont speak their language and I look really weird so ppl just give me dirty looks and avoid me. Theyve never seen a large (and i mean over weight by that) Person whos glasses are funky and doesnt wear a bra....>.< so yeah its difficult! <br /><br />Im kinda stressing about it all. I want soo badly to make friends but dont know how! And Id get out more if it werent for the dang sun!! And when I go out I sweat like a pig!! The chinese dont sweat AT ALL!!! Its amazing! so I always come back looking like a semi truck hit me under water! XP <br /><br />Other than that, its all good! I love seeing the sites and going shopping! Im trying to learn a little mandrin and such so i can communicate more. I want to try and find somewhere where i can start taking japanese lessons! That would be cool! I just dont know where to look!! <br /><br />Thats about it. I REALLY MISS YOU GUYS!!! I wish some of you were here with me!!! It would be much better! And I have skype so let me know if you wanna chat! Just let me know what ur skype name is..ive been having creepy guys call me! >.< so yeah If i dont know the name i block it. <br /><br />Also as a reminder, when its 6 am here, itll be 6 pm there. so we kinda have to time things right. I cant call in the day time or neigther can u. Id be sleeping or you guys would be! I know its kinda difficult but I would REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE to talk to some of you! Im getting lonely!<br /><br />Well baii baii!! Love love! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello all! Im in China!!! Ive been here for almost a week. Its REALLY awsome! I love it! Its soooooo amazing! <br /><br />The only thing is, is that its always in the 90s temperature wise! And the humidity kills! *falls over* And the bad thing is that you have to walk EVERY WHERE!!!!! *gasps for air* X_x<br /><br />But Ive found a lot of cool stores!!! There are sooooo many things for me to do! Its almost overwheming! XD Im home alone at the apt right now and will be for 4 days. My dad had to go to france and bring back a new airplane. So I dont really know what to do with my self!<br /><br />Its kinda hard because EVERYONE looks at you like youre some kinda deranged science experiment gone wrong! >.< I stick out liks a giant sore thumb! At least I dont know what ppl are saying about me cause its in chinese! It helps. Plus, they look at all foreigners that way. Theres no way around it!<br /><br />So I thought DA was going to be the site that is blocked, but its actually facebook that is! So yeah...it sucks! Ive tried a proxy but itll only do one page at a time. You have to keep going back. So I haven yet figured how to get on there yet.<br /><br />I found this ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ANIME STORE!!! (ok its more like 30 stores in one building!) Its like a dream come true!! And everything is soooo cheap!!! Its heaven! I almost fainted from excitment!!!<br /><br />I found some APH pins and bought two! (I was sad, they didnt have my character Taiwan!!! TT_TT ) So I bought China and Italia. They had almost everyone! even the characters that are unimportant! YET THEY DIDNT HAVE TIAWAN!!! GRRRRRRR!!! I was mad! But I also bought a Menchi fan! its awsome! There were so many things I wanted to buy! But Im gonna be here 6 months so I have to pace my self! XD<br /><br />So yeah. Im just here hanging out! Its 6 am right now. Im gonna go swimming later (at the hotel were at) and maybe go get some coffee. I just hope I dont get run over! The car drivers are crazy! They dont care if they kill you! Its insane! And I have to cross the street at a 4 way intersection to get to the coffee place!! O_O Wish me luck!!!! OH and taking a taxi cost too much. I only do that if its a long distance away. Other than that, you walk everywhere!!!<br /><br />And tomorrow Im schedualed for a message at the spa in the hotel! That will be nice!! Cant wait!! <br /><br />So yeah that about it! Ive already had food poisioning and got really sick so I hope that doesnt happen again! It was REALLLY bad!<br /><br />I hope you all are ok and doing well! I miss you all! Love love! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well as some of you know, Im going to be MOVING TO CHINA! Yes, you all heard right! I WILL BE MOVING TO CHINA!!! <br /><br />Ill be there for 6 months! Im REALLY excited for it, yet scared at the same time! It gonna be totally different! *shudders* <br /><br />Im going to have to learn to haggle. Once they see a white person they bump the price of some thing up 10 times!!! *falls over* X.x Ill have to learn the actual accurate prices of things and then learn to say "no". Thats gonna be hard. I feel like Im being mean when I do that! <br /><br /><br />Also Ill have to learn to stand up for myself and show them WHOS BOSS!! XD lol Yeah. If i dont I will just get left behind and such. I need to learn how to buge and push my way past ppl to get what I want like a seat on the bus even! The Chinese are very rude. They have no consern for others. So that will be difficult too! <br /><br />But I know I can do it!! I HAVE to do it! I dont have a choice in the matter now. I know I can tho. It will take some time getting use to but thats how it is everywhere you go.<br /><br /><br />So China blocks alot of sites. I dont know which ones ill be able to get on to yet. But I can email and skype for sure! <br /><br />I suggest for those who want to keep in contact with me, to get skype! Its FREE! *gasp* all you need is a microphone! and you can have webcam too! but its not nessecary! Ill have it on my comp! <br /><br />Sending me stuff/me sending you stuff will be very hard! It costs and uberly insane amount to ship things from china to the us. and via versa. so yeah. I think I can sent letters (that isnt as much) but packages cost something along the lines of over 50$!!! I think its even more! *dies* O_o so yeah just a heads up!<br /><br />Ill be posting my skype name and address. My I have two email and ill give you guys the one that I use the most! <br /><br />Im gonna be in town for awile still, but the time is drawing near! Ill let you all know when I leave! <br /><br />If any of you have skype/email send it to me in a pm please! I dont want to loose contact with all you guys!<br /><br />MUCH LOVE! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />~Alli (aka Mokona) ^w^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

They were all so nice!<br /><br />I was put off by a couple of things (how a certain person acted towards me) but im not going into details.

YAY! *does triumphant dance* XD And I got to kill Italy! lol XD it was fun!...but i got this HUGE  sunburn! and its right on my chest. I was wearing my cat bell collar so you can see where the bell was. its kinda  funny actually! n-n;<br /><br />I stayed the whole time and then got back to my aunts house and went to bed early. The next day was the yyh photoshoot that <a href="http://rose-whip.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/o/rose-whip.jpg?3" alt=":iconrose-whip:" title="rose-whip"/></a> set up! <br /><br />Im happy that I was able to go. I didnt know anyone but I got comfortable with them and got to know them better! Omg! I have  a video of  Hiei dancing to sexy back! *dies* O_O Its soooo friggin hilarious! ...and sorta hot....lol<br /><br />but we  were out side most of the day. We couldnt really go inside the house, which was a bummer since  it was soo HOT!!! <br /><br />So we walked to a pizza place. It was sooo friggin hot! OMG! I ALMOST DIED! We had to stop and get a drink a super america. we finally made it to the place and it was sooooooooo yummmy! mmmmmmh! We all stayed there for a good amount of time just talking and  haning out (none of us really wanted to go back outside! )<br /><br />then  we left and when we got back my aunt was waiting for me. It was earlier than I said to pick me up. but  oh well. funny thing is, is that she was just there to know where its located for later on, but since  I was ready we left.<br /><br />But I got  LEEANN CHIN ON THE WAY HOME! It was really YUMMY! ^W^<br /><br />then I just kinda hung out. so yeah and here I am at my aunts house doing nothing, waiting for 7 pm to come around so my mom can pick me up and then go pick  my dad up at the airport. <br /><br />Im not really looking forward to going home. Im going to have to be packing the whole time! I DONT WANNA DO IT! WAAAAAAAAAH!!!! TT_TT I want to work on cosplays! <br /><br />I wont be able to work on cosplays for a while. Ill be in china so i can work on stuff. I was planning to go to some cons during the summer but that wont work anymore since ill be in China the whole summer. But its better than a con! ^.^ Im really looking forward to it! just not the moving/packing for florida part.....<br /><br /><br />so yeah thats what Ive been up to! Ill update soon and let you guys know how things are going! I want to try and make it to the locking this friday but i doubt it along with Hetalia meeting. But if I can come I will. Just dont count on it. <br /><br />I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WOW!! Thats all I can say! It was teh bestest!! XD lol I had a GRRRRRRRRREAT! TIME! <br />It was soo good to see Emily,Kari, Hammer, Tessa, and Derek!! It was soo uberly fun!<br /><br />It was raining most of the day (but I was prepared and brought the new sanrio umbrella) <br />But it stopped raining soon and everything was fine! We met up with other ppl and then split off again. I went on only 2 roller coaster, but I went on other rides like the Enterprise!OMG! THAT WAS FRIGGING AWSOME! n_n Hehe! I also went on other rides too.<br /><br />I mostly hung out and watched ppls stuff when they went on rides and went swimming at the waterpark. not so much fun but after Hammer and I went and played games. I won a Panda plushie!! (still decideing what to name him!) Hes soo soft too! ^w^<br /><br />Then we met up with Emily and we all shared a funnel cake! CAN YOU BELIEVE THE HAD NEVER HAD ONE!!! X_x It was fun. Buy the time we were done they had powdered sugar all over! LULZ! XD<br /><br />Hammer and I mostly hung out together while the others were doing the intense stuff. He is sooo sweet! And super nice! We went on the train and met up with the other group with Kenny. then Hammer and I wanted to go on the carousel. We were gonna meet up with Emily and Kari but that didnt happen. Oh well. We had a fun time racing our horses! XD <br /><br />I WON! LOL<br /><br />So then Hammer and I went on the old fashion cars! That was EPIC!! They were the really really old cars! AND you could actually drive them! It was so fun!...in a totally nerdy way! XD but you could stop and go when u please which was good...cus i dropped my umbrella and we had to get out and get it! (i dont think that was technically allowed...but oh well) <br /><br />then we just met up with the other and hung out till it was closing time. We were there from opening to closing! <br /><br />MY feet hurt really bad! and my body's sore from all the rides! But its worth it! <br /><br />Im happy. I went shopping on mon. and tue. and got some cool stuff. I finaly found a GREAT hat for my rhyme cosplay! Yay!! *throws confetti* And I got Gir shoes and awsome leg warmers...but they kinda got frayed at VF. I had to take them off.<br /><br />_____________________________________________________________________________________________<br /><br />OK. Heres the important stuff!! READ IT!!! <br /><br />oK originally Im moving to FL (and still am) My dad had been promising me for 2 FRICKIN YEARS that i would go to china. But because of the divorce we dont have enough money for that AND a car (which I need badly for my appartment and school) <br /><br />So he and I made a deal that I would move to FL and get a car. and when we had enough money, I could go to china. Well...noa hes changed his mind. <br /><br />He wants me to go to China for THE WHOLE SUMMER!!! SQUEEEEEEEEE!! *jumps up and down*<br /><br />and we'll put my stuff in storage and when i get back then get my appartment and a car. He doenst want an appt. when Im not there and still having to pay for it.<br /><br />Im UBER excited!!! But Im a little confused. Things keep on changing. My dad always changes his mind. And breaks alot of his promises too. so I really dont know what to think. But as of nao im excited!<br /><br /><br />I will be going to the south of the river anime picnic on Saturday. But I think thats it. I dont think Ill come into town any more. Unless i hear otherwise. We have to pack and crap. So Im sorry If I havent seen you and said good bye to some of you! TT_TT<br /><br />I REALLY would like to, but we have a lot going on. If I can, I will! But dont count on it....<br /><br />But all of my friends are invited to visit me in Florida! (once i get and appartment that is XD ) and i will visit too! <br /><br />You all mean soo much to me! Im so happy that I met you guys! YOu made me a better person. I dont know what I would have done without you! <br /><br />I LOVE YOU ALL! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />P.S.<br /><br />If you dont have my number just pm me. Ill give it to you (and you have to give me yours too ) ill always been on DA and FB!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I got a cute cardigan (i really need more, my others are getting old) and I was looking all over for The World Ends With You DS game. I finally found it, but it was used! Thats ok tho! they stopped making it so it will be hard to find a new one!...and i got it for $17.99!! How awsome is that! <br /><br />I am totally in L-O-V-E with that game! im already on day 4. I have plans to cosplay as Rhyme! I love her! and it wont be that hard of a cosplay either! n_n<br /><br />So Im at home for a little bit, but then I come back to the cities early on sunday!! YAY!!

I already saw some hats that would work last time i was in! HEHE! <br /><br />OH! and i am officially going to the ValleyFair thing on the 10th and the picnic on the 13th!! Im REALLY happy about that! Then I get to see more ppl! YAY! *throws confetti* ^w^<br /><br />So Ill be back in the cities soon and ill be there for awhile!

                <description><![CDATA[ OMGOMGOMGOMG!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEE!! *jumps up and down/spasms* XD <br /><br />Im GRADUATED!! HUZZZAH! ^.^ Man last week was soo increadibly hectic! But I DID IT!!! <br /><br />Thursday I had my drivers test and....I PASSED! I am a liscensed driver now!! YAY! ^.^ Im so happy about that! Then friday I got up and rehearsed for graduating and then later that night graduated and then went to an all night grad party lockin! It was UBER fun! I got a characature of me! Ill have to upload it soon! its really funny! XP but not flattering at all! X_X lol<br /><br />OMG! my WHOLE family came for my graduation! I was soo happy! But I was embarassed to the point of almost breaking down! My parents and aunt and cousins were teasing me that they were going to bring a blow horn for graduation...i thought they were kidding..but they werent!!<br /><br />As I got up on the stage to recive my diploma, all of a sudden a huge air horn blow came and starttled everyone! I almost peed my self! XD But it was great! I got the biggest applause out of EVERYONE! and once they blew the horn more ppl started cheering for me! I couldnt believe it! <br /><br />The funny thing was, was that my friend and I were talking earlier about how having a big audience and applause is the best thing! And guess what! I GOT THE BIGGEST ONE! When I came back to my seat everyone was like "theres no way Ill measure up to that!" or "how am I supposed to beat that!?!?" and all hugged me and patted me on the back! <br /><br />so since there was the locking that night i slept all day on saturday. Then since my family was over we had a kind of bday/graduation celebration for me! I got over $800 in all! and for my bday my mom got me a necklace with a panda on it with REAL DIAMONDA AND BLOOD DIAMONDS! its beautiful! I love it! And my dad got me and astro boy purse/bag from china! Its awsome!<br /><br />It all went better than I thought! Im really happy how it all turned out.<br /><br />I will not be going to metrocon this year buy probably AFO. And I wont be going to China right away like my dad promised. Due to all the divorce stuff, we are now limited on our money. So im going to get a car when I go back to florida and then once there is enough money ill go to china! So all hope is not lost! n_n<br /><br />I have to go into school (even tho i graduated) and work on some unfinished art. Only for two days tho! then Im probably going into the cities. My mom needs to go back to florida for a while. <br /><br />But my Mokona's bday party is this saturday, the 30th! Its at MOA from 1pm-4pm! I hope all of you can make it! It would make me sooo happy! :3 <br /><br />Well thats all for now! got to get ready for school (wow thats so wierd since i graduated! lol XD ) <br /><br />I hope all of you are having a good time and good luck on finals and what not! <br /><br />I LOVE YOU ALL!<br />~Alli <3 <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

NOT GOOD! *gasp*) -_- so yeah im been super freaked out!<br /><br />I have two power point to do by next week and study for a test and a final. then read a whole book (its not that bad! its a good book and im on ch.5) n_n; But im just been swamped with all sorts of stuff!<br /><br />Im sad i wont be having a grad party. I had a disagreement with my parents and now im not going to have one. It makes me REALLY sad! TT_TT<br />But theres nothing I can do about it.<br /><br />Im happy that my bday party is still going on! I REALLY hope my good friends can make it! it wouldnt be the same without them! *crosses fingers*<br /><br />but on another bad note..i dont think ill be able to go to metrocon anymore. Its not final yet. Im working on things. I thought we would have moved back to florida by then by my dad doesnt get back to the US till june 13th and we have to pack up all our crap and DRIVE DOWN!! so i dont think i could make it in time! but im going to see if i can fly down and stay with a friend, like i did last time! <br /><br />I already have $200 of graduating money! and thats just from 3 ppl! O.O so yeah there will be more coming in too! yay! hehe! XD<br /><br />But im am soooo excited to finally be graduating! I cant believe it! It doesnt seem real! I just hope i can finish these things in time! I know I will,...its just stressful! *sigh*<br /><br />Sorry i havent been on lately. Well..Ive been on, just havent posted anything. I dont have time for art right now. Im doing what I can at school. Im working on soapstone carving! its gonna be awsome! But I have to focus on school for now.<br /><br />Thats about it. Idk what else to say! But im happy im graduating and moving back home to florida! I WILL MISS ALL OF YOU TERRIBLY! but hopefully we can see more of eachother before i leave! ^.^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry I havent been posting on here lately! Im kinda addicted to FB now! *ashamed* But I will NEVER leave DA! ^w^ Heheh! It just too good!<br /><br />Ive just been REALLY buisy with all my senior stuff and graduation coming up. Im almost done with everything! Im a "little" behind in a class but I can catch up on that! Im almost done with my P.E. requirements. Just a few more hours! Yippeee!! *does happy dance* <br /><br />And tonight Im going to an all night lock in at my school. Im going to be helping out with it all night (from 9pm-7am) But I will get all my Comunnity Servis hours! Which I need to graduate! So that will be a load off my chest! Then Im almost there! YAY! ^.^<br /><br />So my dad left for China again yesterday. I dont know when he's gonna be back, or if he'll be here for my graduation. I really hope he is. That would kinda ruin it for me.<br /><br />Im kinda blocking out alot of stuff right now. I need to or Id be a total reck! I acknowledge things, just dont dwell on them. This whole divorce thing is really wierd...-_-<br /><br />Thats about it. Heather and I are going to Metrocon and are working out the details. Im still looking for a hotel. I think we've found one tho! *jumps up and down* HEHEH! Im excited for it!<br />I just hope ill have enough money to go to china afterwards! XD<br /><br />Im thinking about having a birthday party sometime in May. It will be at MOA. And afterwards ppl can come over to my place (its in wisconsin..not that bad of a drive) and have a sleepover. Anyones welcome! Even guys! we would stay at the cabin next to our house (my grandpa owns it too) and when ppl are ready for bed the guys would stay there and the girls come back to my house. They are in walking distance. But all this is a WIP. I still dont know how it will go. and the date/time or anyting. The only thing is, my parents wont be able to drive ppl back in to the cities. so if some ppl can drive, perhaps you can carpool or something idk...like I said Im working on it!<br /><br />Alrighty! Thats it! <br /><br />Love Love <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>
