                <description><![CDATA[ so first off, holy shit I've been on deviantART for six years.  SIX YEARS THAT IS RIDICULOUS.<br />god damn.  and my art was such shit when I first started.<br /><sub>as if to imply that it isn't still shit ahahaha...</sub><br /><br />but more than that I want to say <b>THANKS GUYS</b>.<br />you're all super supportive with your comments and favorites - it actually makes me enjoy drawing <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />I don't know how many people know this, but I'm not really a big fan of, um, drawing.  I guess its fun, but knowing that people enjoy seeing my work makes me really happy and encourages me to continue improving.  so, thanks, everyone <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />I promise I won't have another black period like I did a while ago... oh man hahaha.<br /><br />I would draw something to show my appreciation but I have no idea what... that would be... so...<br /><br />also, <b>Ballroom Blitz should resume soon!</b><br />I am pretty intent on finishing the pilot chapter soon, because I want to actually start having fun with the characters.  I'm finally getting used to my college workload, so I am trying to get things running again <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />also I might have some other comics coming out... nothing really long or interesting, but I comics are something that I really <i>do</i> sincerely enjoy drawing, haha.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ my scanner is no longer compatible with my computer.<br />this wouldn't normally be a big problem, but I'm not really comfortable with drawing straight on the computer.<br /><br />that being said, until I can afford a new scanner (which will take some time), my activity is probably not going to be so impressive... sorry, guys <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />that also means that Ballroom Blitz won't be updating for a while longer (which really bugs me because I really want to be done with the pilot chapter)... although, if things go according to plan, I should start stocking up on partially completed pages.  I hope.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I LOVE THEM.<br />i love them a lot.<br /><br />it suddenly occurred to me today that i can <i>basically spend all of my extra money on comic books</i>.<br />I LOVE HAVING A MEAL PLAN AND ON CAMPUS HOUSING!<br /><br />there is a wicked comic book joint within walking distance of my dorm, so its probably my new favorite place in this town.  also, there's an art supply store downstairs from the place... HELL YEAH.<br /><br />so, question time (as usual)!  <b>what kind of comics do you guys read/whats your taste in comics?</b><br />i really read basically anything with panels and art that appeals to me, haha.  technically, i read American, Japanese, Korean, and Canadian (LOL) comics.  genre-wise, everything from superheroes to bubbly shoujo to just... weird.<br />i will honestly buy a comic book simply based on the art/general pacing, just because i like to look at different techniques and paneling styles.  i can see myself taking a course here in college just because I loooove seeing the difference in comic styles from author to author, or from culture to culture.  its just really cool to me, hahaha.<br /><br />i really, <i>really</i> cannot read comics that have art i don't like, regardless of the story.  its kind of sad, but if its a <i>comic</i> i think i need to like the art, you know?  i can understand that certain styles suit certain comics, but if the art is just BAD (to me), i can't do it.  e.g. i will never be able to read a CLAMP series.  i'm sorry, i just absolutely cannot stand their art, to the point where i can't enjoy the rest of the comic.<br /><br />i like comics with strong, independent female characters, but my favorites are the ones with young male leads (this is actually true for me with books, too).  i think its fun to see how authors portray that character-type, especially in different genres and situations.  so i love the charismatic ones, the cowards, the jerks... they're all pretty cool to me.<br /><br />and... i secretly love romantic comedies.  i've reread Lovely Complex and High School Debut a bunch of times.  actually, i love anything Aya Nakahara publishes hahaha.  her stuff is so fantastic <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />i can't stand comics where the main characters are losers... and i mean in the sense that, this isn't really a gag comic, its for serious, but the side characters are more interesting than the main one.<br />and i really despise the girl comics where the lead girl is pathetic and can't do anything without thinking about the studly guy she's lusting after.  like, seriously, you have a pair of god damn legs, use them to support yourself for god's sake.<br />... b-but i love Kimi ni Todoke.  i don't think it fits into the category i just mentioned because Sawako really is trying her hardest, and she's being supported by her own determination <i>and</i> her friends... its a really cute series ;_;<br /><br />lmfao that was THE LONGEST FREAKING JOURNAL EVER.  I AM SO SORRY.  i'm tired and rambling /sob<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ GUESS WHERE I AM.<br /><br />hint:  not Florida.<br /><br />yeah but I'm more or less moved in, here in my dorm.  i still have to put up posters and put my shit on my shelves, but its pretty good so far.  classes don't start until Monday, though, so i'm kind of bored out of my mind, gahaha.<br />plus, there are a few major problems that i have been having:<br /><br /><b>1:</b>  Windows 7 is being a bitch (to be fair, it <i>is</i> just the beta...)<br /><b>2:</b>  Windows 7 isn't picking up my scanner and i have to wait for my parents to mail me the CD which i... conveniently left at home...<br /><b>3:</b>  Photoshop is fucking shit up.<br /><br />i actually attempted to use ImageReady instead of Photoshop (because for some fucked up reason ImageReady works...), but its a little awkward.<br />but at least i have installed my tablet and printer!!! although my tablet is acting a little weird with this new driver i downloaded and my printer does not really do anything other than... print...<br />also the tablet being overly sensitive does not help with how weird it is to use ImageReady for coloring shit.  i'm sure i can figure out the sensitivity problem, but like i said, new driver thing... not really completely sure how to use it, haha.<br /><sub>actually i should probably look into getting a new tablet anyway... this one is at least five years old...</sub><br /><br />BUT I HAVE BEEN DRAWING.  sort of <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/Blackii/Photos/001.jpg">[link]</a><br />i actually chugged out two or three pictures in one sitting!  that is pretty god damn incredible for someone like me OTL<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!" <br /><br />lmfao this is going to be SO EMBARRASSING, but who gives a damn.  i have a ridiculous number of unfinished things on my computer... i write when i can't sleep, and hardly ever finish anything.<br />also, half of my stories are written from the perspective of teenage boys.  UHHHHH...<br /><br />1.  My new least favorite word is ÂfetishÂ.<br /><br />2.  Deep down inside, I think IÂve always hated Mocochang.<br /><br />3.  ÂThe issue with you, my darling, is that you simply donÂt know how to live your life.Â<br /><br />4.  ÂJoshua,Â she called.  I didnÂt look up from my homework until she was right in front of my desk.  She looked annoyed.<br /><br />5.  I don't really know how to tell you this, but I'm in love with your sister.<br /><br />6.  ÂAhÂ shit-Â The pain from even a small whistle was too much to handle.<br /><br />7.  It wasnÂt as if he was an especially bad kid; in fact, he always thought he was a good kid until he entered middle school.<br /><br />8.  A mass of frills.  A dark velvet cake with white icing.  Garters and long white socks.  Little black shoes and the occasional feather duster.  A pushup bra to emphasize a tiny bust.<br /><br />i can't explain the context for any of these because i seriously can't remember what was going through my head when i started them... i don't even remember writing half of these LOL<br /><br />also the last one was TOO HILARIOUS TO RESTRICT TO ONE SENTENCE.  ASFKLASJFAHAHAHAHAH <i>WHAT THE FUCK</i><br /><br />p.s. i'm moving to to my dorm in a few days, so i don't know how much i'll be around in the next week or so<br /><br /> ]]></description>

HRRRRRRGH</sub><br /><br />BUT THE REAL POINT OF THIS ENTRY IS...<br /><br />i'm curious about how people pick the colors for their pictures.  i think 60% of the time i spend coloring a picture is spent trying to pick decent colors.  i usually just end up throwing colors around until they look good, gahaha.  yes, i am the prince of efficiency.<br />another thing is, i spend A LOT of time cruising image boards and saving pictures that have compositions/colors/etc that i like... and sometimes when i color, i bring up maybe four of them and use them for color pallets.  is that... cheating?  or what?  i just never thought about it until now, i guess.<br /><br />SO, how do you guys go about finding your colors?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Things are pretty boring until he accidentally bumps into Jaejin Li, a crazy - but fun - shorty who is probably more trouble than he's worth.<br /><br />vignettes about a kumiho (nine tailed Korean fox) and his best friend/companion: the most unserious douche bags around.<br />some kind of weird satire about life, love, and everything in between...<br />... except, not really.<br />inspired by Reel Big Fish songs.<br /><br />DISCLAIMER: the first chapter is hideously misleading.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I think this is for the best, because it just... is.  it suits Jaejin more.<br /><br />... except now the first chapter is probably even more misleading than it was originally intended to be >___><br />so, ahead of time disclaimer:  i swear this series isn't shoujo.  just keep that in mind OTL<br /><br /><br />i'm going to try to shoot for next Friday being the ACTUAL launch date.  until then, maybe i will bombard you with ballroom blitz art.  maybe.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

FORGIVE MY EXCITEMENT.  it will probably wear off once i realize how much work this actually is.<br /><br />i'm pinning the <b>~*~official launch date~*~</b> to June 19th-ish.  this is my secret plan to be constantly ahead of my updates so i'll never get off schedule.  this plan will undoubtedly fail because i am an awful, lazy person.<br /><br /><br />i've been working on side character designs a lot recently... i don't know if i should post them, though!  i don't think there's anything spoiler-worthy, but who knows.  if people want to see them, i'll post 'em, haha.<br />... actually, hilarious thing i noticed: a lot of the less important characters are girls.  i'm... not sure whats up with that.<br /><br />OH, and i graduate from high school in two weeks.  woooooooo~<br /><br />--<br /><a href="http://blackii.deviantart.com/journal/24557344/"><b>$10 commissions</b></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I kind of can't afford to go to college gahaha.  WOOOOO SCHOLARSHIPS... I hope OTL<br />I'm mostly looking at my text books which are going to cost a ton <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> not good, gahaha.<br />the past two summers I've been working in an office, but since this will be the last summer I have as a high school student, I wanted to try and spend more time with my friends before heading off to... wherever I'm going.  an office job does not really help with that kind of thing <sub>(I was basically an even worse social recluse last year than I usually am.  the only friends i saw on purpose were my friend Julie and... my brother).<br />... also, I sort of had a mental breakdown last year at work HAHA oh man.</sub><br /><br />the deal is basically, <b>$10 dollars for a full colored commission</b>.  MAN IS THAT CHEAP OR WHAT.<br />....... that is actually less than I would make at my office job, but its both a) more productive, and b) more fun.<br /><br />this is also because... recently I have had a sudden burst of confidence when it comes to art.  not so much, MAN I CAN DRAW!  as much as, WOW I actually ENJOY drawing.  that doesn't happen very often and I kind of want to take advantage of it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i was looking through my gallery and i noticed a severe lack of females.<br />seriously, the last time I posted a girl was <i>February</i>.  excluding that comic that had Reyna in it, but I'm not going to count that... and Jaejin's reference sheet because he doesn't count as a boy or a girl...<br /><br />LIKE... WHAT IS UP WITH THAT.<br />its so weird, you would think there would be more of them.  <br />i love girls, so why don't i draw them?  hrrrm.<br /><sub>its probably actually because Ballroom Blitz is such a masculine comic OTL</sub><br /><br />actually, true fact:  i can't draw feminine girls.  i've tried and it doesn't look right.  i guess i've been doing boys and androgyny too much gahahaha.  dammit.<br /><br />so i guess the moral of the story is, don't look at my gallery if you want to see girls.<br />especially when you can look at <a href="http://eiko-chan.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/i/eiko-chan.gif?1" alt=":iconeiko-chan:" title="eiko-chan"/></a>'s gallery.  god, SUCH PRETTY GIRLS.  can't get over it *jealous*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

ITS JUST BECAUSE I'M CURIOUS?  y-yeah, something like that.<br /><br /><b>OKAY HERE'S THE SCENARIO:</b><br />so say you're with your friends looking at clothes or something, and your one friend is like, "oh try on this _______~!"<br />and you look at it and you're like, "there is no way that would look good on me."<br />... but your friends are all bugging you about it because they think you should wear it.<br />you ask two of your um... guy friends their opinions on the subject (because they are MEN AND THEY WOULD OBVIOUSLY KNOW WHAT TO DO IN THESE SITUATIONS LMAO).<br />so Guy A goes, "are you kidding?  you would look great in it!"<br />and Guy B goes, "you should just wear what you want!"<br /><br />SO THE QUESTION IS...<br />which do you appreciate more?  Guy A thinking you'd look good, or Guy B thinking you shouldn't let people pressure you into things?<br /><br />I actually honestly have <i>no idea</i> why I am asking this.<br />recently I've been running almost shoujo-esque situations through my head for... various reasons.  this one came up and I realized I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE BETTER, GAHAHA.  I'm leaning towards free-will boy, but being told you'd look good would still be hella fabulous.<br /><br />in truth, its a situation that might come around in a storyline that i would never draw out as a comic and probably not write out as a story.  just a fun storyline with characters that make me happy, durhur <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ... would people read it?<br /><br />because i am very close to starting one.<br />it'll be about Jaejin and his <strike>sidekick</strike> companion, Nao (aka mole boy ahahaha).  i guess the genre would be like... horror/action/mystery/comedy.  mostly action and comedy, probably.  because i am so bad at writing mysteries LOL.  <sub>hopefully i'll be able to work on that, though...</sub><br />i guess, genre-wise, you could compare it to... shounen, leaning more towards seinin.  because man that is just HOW I DO.<br /><br />it would probably be hosted on smackjeeves or something, because i'll be damned if i'm going to buy a website gahaha.  plus man, coding sites for comics is a bitch, seriously;  i could probably make my friend do it for me but i am too lazy for that, even.<br /><br />don't expect this to come around any time soon, since i'm still writing certain parts and working out a ton of kinks (like Nao's character design - GOD DAMN WHY IS HIS HAIR SO HARD FOR ME TO DRAW).  if anything, I'd say you'd have to wait until at least June for it to start.<br />for the record, though, i'm super excited about it.  writing Jaejin is an adventure because he's so <i>weird</i>.  and you know, sort of evil/antagonistic... and Nao is probably the most distrubingly human character i've ever dealt with.  they make such a whack duo, its fantastic.<br /><br /><b>ETA//</b>  YEAH I FORGOT TO MENTION.  format wise, it will be a lot like <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://gunnerkrigg.com/index2.php">Gunnerkrigg Court</a> (which is awesome, fyi) in that it will <i>sort of</i> build up an overall plot line, but the arcs/chapters will be able to stand on their own.  this is just because i can't write a 200+ chapter long story that is BUILDING UP TO THE SUPER SHOWDOWN!!! at the end.  its just impossible, hahaha.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so out of curiosity....<br /><br />does anyone have any interesting myths/urban legends to share?  or strange unsolved happenings?<br />for an example, I've already got Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac killer on my list of "unsolved stuff"; I put Robin Hood on my.... uh, "interesting historical characters" list; but I'm severely lacking in good urban legends.<br /><br />and when I say good, I mean not big foot/etc.<br /><br />I'm asking because I need them for a project that I'm working on.  so, I need unsolved/mysterious things to use that I can "solve" by drawing my own conclusions by inserting fictional characters.  IT WILL BE COOL I SWEAR.<br />e.g. I've already worked out Jack the Ripper <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  BUT I THINK THAT WAS EXPECTED, since I am... disturbingly fascinated with him.  yes.<br /><br />what would be really great is if it was something that affected a lot of people, like murders, etc.  and it doesn't matter what part of the world it comes from, because the more multicultural, the better.<br /><br />... actually, considering the characters, the more violent, the better too OTL<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so to make a long story short...<br /><br />I kind of need to make more money :[<br />I have a job, but recently I've had to take off a lot because I need to be home for different reasons.<br /><br />BASICALLY, I owe my mom $240, I need to buy something that will cost around $200 dollars (maybe more?), I'm probably about to buy something that will cost me around $480, and I'm already thinking ahead to having to buy Christmas presents and conventions.<br /><br />AND RIGHT NOW I HAVE... something like $690 dollars.  minus about $40 dollars because I just had to buy something.<br /><br />yeah, so I do actually have a job... but I'm not sure how much longer I'm working there, and [for now] I don't have a job during the school year.<br /><br />SO THE REAL QUESTION IS...<br /><b>should I do commissions?</b>  because thats really all I can think of doing right now :/ (I'm actually VERY CLOSE to selling some of my dolls)<br />I think, from just guessing, a CG would be like $20-25, and then everything else would be some amount under that.<br />I'm mostly worried about a source of income during the school year because a) my parents don't do allowance, b) I'm going to be trying to focus on studying harder this year, so less free time for working, c) I have to go to college next year... KIND OF SCARED OF LACK OF MONEY HAHA.<br /><i>(my current employers offered to let me keep working during the school year, but its an hour commute to get there and back, so... time wise, its not really possible)</i><br /><br />... I actually really wanted to sell keychains, but I don't even have enough money to fund that project, hahaha<br /><br />so like, the obvious solution is STOP BUYING THINGS BLACKII, but, yeah, I have hobbies and I have things that I want to buy, so uh.<br />...<br />yeah.<br />most of the things I've been buying are books, so... ITS FOR MY EDUCATION???<br /><br /> ]]></description>

SO MUCH.  its just a small issue I have that I'm really intolerant towards people that I know in person, I can't stand being around other two legged mammals.  its not that I get nervous, rather I just get incredibly angry and frustrated because of how people act and the things they say.<br /><br /><b>4.</b>  I love rainbows and bright colors, but I accept the fact that I don't <i>really</i> enjoy wearing them.<br /><br /><b>5.</b>  I should have been born a boy.  a really, really gay boy.<br /><br /><b>6.</b>  I have a low milk tolerance because of psychological issues (ROFL its sad because its true).<br /><br /><b>7.</b>  People consider me "insensitive" because I have a hard time dealing with other peoples' issues.  Its not that I don't care or that I feel I'm superior, its just that half the time the people around me throw fits over things that I find to be silly and/or unimportant.  Living in the moment results in me telling people to get over shit and move on, because whatever happens, happens.<br />... but a lot of times i just get "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!" and then I just stop caring.<br /><br /><b>8.</b>  In second grade I told a classmate to fuck himself without actually knowing wtf I was talking about.<br /><br /><b>TAGGGGINNNNNG</b> uh.  whoever hasn't done this in the past three months lol?<br />I did this exact same meme last year but I was retarded thenblablalblbqasdfa<br /><br /><br />I was thinking of doing a doujin, but I suck hard and I have no idea what series to do it for hahaha.<br /><strike>and i'm supposed to work on Cabaret rofl</strike><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I need to draw more girls huggggh.  maybe even like... lesbians or something hahaha ohhh baby.<br /><br />SPEAKING OF GIRLS.

                <description><![CDATA[ why am I posting now okay I HAVE EXAMS ALL THIS WEEK except only on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.<br />then I don't have school till Wednesday.  and then I'm out on Thursday hurhurhur ohh baby.<br /><br />BUT REALLY IT IS TIME TO THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE.<br />I have lots of work this summer.<br />not only do I have to draw (WHAT WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE), I have to work on comic shit.  because... Cabaret is going to be a comic and there's nothing you guys can do about it.  please excuse me and my MASSIVE cast of characters OTL<br /><br />also next year I am teaching a course on the history of organized crime.  so this summer I have to spend a lot of time picking out books and working on the curriculum and shit.  its going to be rad!  but its also going to be a lot of work.  totally worth it, though.<br /><br />AND THEN I NEED A <b>REAL</b> JOB.  my options so far are:<br /><br />a)  <b>office work</b>.  I did this last year, my pay was something around eight dollars an hour.  I'm thinking I'll be scanning files into the computer and doing random odd jobs for them (like I did last year).  its HELLA boring, but I play my DS during the slow periods so its okay gahaha *worst employee ever* also the people there are really rad and sometimes my dad stops by to do crazy techie things.<br />and I get my own cubical *w*<br /><b>PRO:</b>  I'm used to it, I know the people there, I get to play DS while I'm on the job (lol)<br /><b>CON:</b>  Hella boring like you wouldn'y believe, I might have to deal with a really awful and tedious youth network trying to make me join their cult and spend my mornings at their temple of unholy lameness.  also kind of restricted dress code (SHUSH I LIKE MY FUNKY CLOTHES)<br /><br />b)  <b>CAMP COUNCILOR.</b>  my history/english teacher offered me a job at his mosque (yes, where the muslims hang out) as a camp councilor at some summer program they're doing.  the pay is ten bucks an hour, Monday through Friday afternoons.  I guess I'd be doing... generic councilor things?  I'm not sure what kind of summer program it actually is.  there probably isn't much out doorsy things, since its in the middle of the city.<br />normally I'd say no because I'm not so great with kids, but I spent a month teaching art in January, and since I'm going to probably go into teaching, its a good experience to go through.<br />the only massive issue is the place.  its in West Philly, and if any of you know Philadelphia, you know thats... kind of dangerous.  AND far from my home.  so i actually don't know how to get there rofl.<br /><b>PRO:</b>  more pay!, I'd be with my teacher (who I'm co-teaching my mafia course with), teaching experience<br /><b>CON:</b>  far from home, kind of dangerous, dealing with kids, being in a religious place all day (I'd probably offend a lot of people), trying to handle a religious culture that I'm really not used to!<br /><br />SO what do you guys think?  because personally I have no idea which one to go with @w@<br /><br /> ]]></description>

EXCEPT FOR BOOKS.  i'm a bookaholic, auuugh.  i once spent sixty dollars in one day on books.  god dammit.<br /><br />if i were a real artist, i'd sell art!  and shit.  commissions.  whatever.  but yeah.  not happening rofl.<br /><br /><b>ANYWAY.</b><br /><br />since i'm in a kind of WANT SMILIES mood, what makes people smile.  I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BECAUSE.  i like smiles.  they are happy and fun.  i don't think i could even think of trying to pretend to be an emo kid because i just have SO MUCH FUN WITH SMILES.  more so than i probably should, but I don't care.<br /><br /><sub>smiles <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />PS:  I need more green clothing.

                <description><![CDATA[ I kind of forgot how to draw legs.<br /><br />or legs... in pants?  I can draw girly girly legs in skirts but not manly legs in pants.<br />which of course means I'll just have to draw everyone in skirts (OH HO NOT THAT ANYONE IS COMPLAINING).<br /><br />ps I'm drawing I swear.<br /><br />I just can't post anything until after Wednesday...!!!  I have a massive paper due then (its about ebola).<br />but I have been working on a website for stress relief, so that should be around eventually.  as soon as I get a host thats better than freewebs :[<br /><br />also I am doing a report on Alphons Mucha.  you need to know this because I said so and his art is pretty rad.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so guys what do you want for christmas?  i'm asking because i have no idea what to ask for, ah ha ha.  plus i'm just curious and i don't feel like waiting for that christmas list meme to come into rotation again.<br />
<br />
<br />
no, really, what should i get for christmas?  i dunno.  markers?  or something?<br />
i also don't know what to get for my birthday.  i've gotten pullips for the last two (three?) years, but i don't really want one this time around.  GUYS WHATS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WANTING BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO BUY?  i can't remember anything orz...<br />
<br />
oh yeah winkwink my birthday is <b>december 26</b>.  everyone else hints like a month beforehand, i always forget my birthday until like, four days ahead of time.  christmas tends to overshadow it... a lot :C<br />
<br />
<br />
ps:  buy LM.C's new single, <b>Bell the CAT</b>.  i got a rip of it off the internets, its AWESOME.  the PV is also pretty nifty, maya's hat and aiji's hair are wonderful.  i preordered the limited editon w/ the DVD of the PV like a month ago, i can't wait for it to show up.  i missed out on the DVD version of An Cafe's newest single, so I had to jump on this one, ha ha.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ yeah so like.<br />
<br />
why is there a "anime and manga" category...<br />
and then a "comics cartoons and <b>manga</b>" category?<br />
WTF DEVIANTART.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO CONFUSE PEOPLE MORE THAN YOU ALREADY DO.  GO AWAY AND STOP BEING ANNOYING.<br />
actually I bet if they didn't do that, anime and manga rights activists would totally wig out on them and start protesting or some shit.  Jesus, people, chill out.<br />
<br />
Also I hope that no one minds if I start submitting my original shit to "pop art".  Because fux thats what I consider my art now, its not heavily inspired by anime and shit anymore.  YEAH I DON'T DRAW (as) GINORMOUS EYES ANYMORE GUYS.  I SWEAR SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.<br />
<br />
actually, anime is considered a subgenre of pop art.  so uh... yeah ha ha ha.  SHUT UP DAMMIT.<br />
<br />
<br />
btw just so you know I'm like a crack whore now.  except I'm addicted to salad and fruit instead of crack.  OH CRUEL WORLD.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so how much does it hurt to get your ears pierced?  I mean it looks like it hurts a shitload, but I know girls with like ten piercings in one ear alone.  Is it really worth it to have five million rings and shit hanging out of your ears?<br />
actually I'm only asking because I see lots of badass earrings online, but I can't buy them 'cause WHOOPS my ears aren't pierced.<br />
<br />
I'M A FAGGOT WHO CAN'T FINISH A SINGLE PICTURE.  but I've had  job for the past five weeks so I can kind of use that as an excuse.  HAY LOOK I HAVE MONIES WOWZA.<br />

go <strike>masturbate</strike> leave love notes all over her page.  because she is now officially <strike>OVER 9000</strike> 16 years old.  HURRAY AUD.<br />
I tried to finish something for you, but I've been under heavy fire from the Chemistry battle ship.  so.  LATER THIS WEEK, K?  when I'm not dying from chembeams 'n stuff.<br />
<br />
also.  I think that *<a class="u" href="http://bleedman.deviantart.com/">bleedman</a> is fucking hilarious.  because...<br />
<br />
HE HAS <b>OVER NINE MILLION PAGE VIEWS</b>.<br />
<br />
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO THAT?  lmfao okay seriously DAMN.  that man is hella fucking popular.<br />
not that I'm surprised.  his art is really easily likable in this day in age, especially on the interweb.  and I am actually very excited about his new Sugar Bits comic.  <sub>TOTALLY NOT BECAUSE THERE ARE BUNNY PEOPLE, SHUT THE HELL UP.</sub><br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ okay guyssss.  I try to keep by doll babbles in my el-jay so it doesn't bother you, but...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bluefairyint.com/shop/step1.php?number=319">is this the most adorable doll or what?</a><br />
<br />
trust me, if I had the whole 700 fucking dollars, I'd buy him instantly <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
I think its the outfit.  I fucking love clothing like that.  SPEAKING OF CLOTHING LIKE THAT.<br />
<br />
anyone know any stores where I can get 1920s-ish clothing?  if I had good resources, I would dress like that.  daily.<br />
<br />
shorts with matching jackets and knee high socks will eternally rock my world.<br />
UNFORTUNATELY, no history class seems to think that the 20s are very interesting (wow from fashion to history?  GO, NATTLES GO).  SO WHO KNOWS GOOD HISTORY BOOKS?  (history is my new favorite subject <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />)<br />
<br />
also um, how much do nice quality (not super-duper) headphones go for?  preferably not <strike>headphones</strike> wtf I mean EARBUDS, but the kind that can fold up and fit in smaller places?  I broke my headphones.  again (I stepped on them this time :[).<br />
<br />
and um.  what kinds of things do you guys do to make money?  LOL EXCLUDING JOBS, I ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THOSE, SHUT UP.  its fucking hard to find a job in Philly.  and I don't think commissions would work out because I suck.<br />
<br />
I JUST SPENT THE LAST FIVE HOURS WATCHING STAR TREK I THINK MY HEAD IS GOING TO FUCKING EXPLODE OH SHI-<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
so I'm offering a picture to whoever donates to her.  really really clean sketches is what i'm offering, so basically a picture thats line arted with pencil.  I'm not gonna do requests or commissions for a while so I can monopolize on my own [nonexistant] market and make you donate to her XD; <br />
<br />
OR if you don't really want my art, <a href="http://tireen.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/i/tireen.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="tireen" /></a> is making the same offer.  so basically.  HELP OUT.  this is seriously important, 'cause seiji is a really close friend of mine and i want to help her out lots and lots.<br />
<br />
ha ha, plus i think this will get my back into drawing more.  i kind of abandoned committing myself to my art, but last night i was like, "WHOA REVELATION" and this is what i want to do with my art.  help other people C:<br />
<br />
i also had a revelation that i'm god reincarnated.  i have devoted my chemistry class periods to carrying out my duties as t3h cardin00b.  i assist my friend andrew with his job as t3h p0p3z0r.<br />
<br />
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY.  THE HELP SEIJI FUND.  please in all seriousness guys give her a hand.  please.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

"Ok here's the rules; whoever I tag must write a Journal about their 6 weird habits, things, hates as well as state this rule clearly.<br />
<br />
You gotta tag 6 people; just list their names in the journal and don't forget to let them know you tagged them."<br />
<br />
UH OKAY:<br />
<br />
1.  i like children a lot, both girls and boys (lol mostly boys, little girls can be assholes).  lolol that sounds so wrong, but i think they're so cool.  they're so energetic and fun to observe.  i'm talking age 7-12, because i think that is srsly the best time of your life.  unless you had some serious pedo issues or something as a kid, that would totally suck.<br />
<br />
2.  i have dreams (sleeping and day dreaming) about torture.  LOL WHAT THE HECK.  i'm so not a masochist, but i always get stuck thinking about torture scenes.  my [boy] characters are all the same because they all eventually get tortured.  SO LAME.<br />
... AND WEIRD.<br />
<br />
3.  i have secret fantasies about wearing rainbow skirts and shirts and old school 50s dresses during the springtime.  damn i wish i were man enough to actually wear those.<br />
<br />
4.  i'm the class pimp in my grade.  thats... all you need to know about that.<br />
<br />
5.  i HATE my coloring style.  the colors are way too saturated and ugly.  i like pictures that use pastel colors, but i have yet to master the art of using them.<br />
<br />
6.  i'm an excessive doll collector.  i save up my money and spend it on really expensive dolls that i dote on and talk to.  currently saving up for a 45 centimeter ball jointed girlie, can'twaitcan'twait<br />
<br />
