I'm not exactly at liberty to discuss specifics, but a family emergency has popped up and, as life would have it, we're losing... well, everything. Money has become, and will only continue to be, increasingly tight.

Issues with my job decided it would be a marvelous time to spring up in the midst of all this, so, I've not a choice but to do what I've actually been debating over a good chunk of my artistic career.

Basically, because its become something of a necessity, I've decided to open commissions.

Now, now, until I can get final prices and the like pieced together for my "real" commissions (and if any of you can consult me on that particular issue that'd be spiffy), I'm going to hop on that extra-ambitious bandwagon anddd...

DO 100 $10 DOLLAR COMMISSIONS!

Gracious me!
_{Oh dear God I am going to die}


But yes. I'm going to be using every cent of the money this makes me for life-related junk and every day expenses so any body who buys something will be amazingly amazing on every single level. And awesome.

You want to be amazingly amazing and awesome, right? RIIGHT?

Of course you do.

Sooo I'll be handling payments through the ever-so-lovely paypal (although money orders and the like can work, too). Now I know next to nothing on how that whole song and dance works so you people miiight have to be a tad patient with me at first. As for when I'm asking for money: it can be any time but I prefer right off the bat. NOWWW satisfaction is guaranteed so if I totally screw your drawing up I'll pay every cent of your beloved money back. So none of you fret over that.

As for what kind of art puke I'll be coughing up for 10 bucks, well, I have a menu. Isn't that just thrilling?

[ MENU ]

CARTOONS
If cartoons are your thing, you'll want to take a good looksie at this section. I can draw both animals and humans (and species in between), so no limitations are to be found here. Exciting.

... TRADI - When cartoons meet my sketch book, basically. I draw solely in pen and cartoon stuff is no exception. Here, have some samples.
_{SAMP 01}

... DIGI - Good ol' painting in Photoshop, simply. Nothing too special but enough to not look like total slop and bla, I suppose.
_{SAMP 01 SAMP 02 SAMP 03}



SEMIREALISM
As the title says. Again, I'm up for drawing anything so don't feel limited in your request.

... TRADI - Sketchy madness. It doesn't look as bad as it sounds. I promise.
_{SAMP 01 SAMP 02 SAMP 03}

... DIGI - More painting, oh glee. I have no solid (or even good) examples of this currently, bu... ]]> ~byondthshadows781 http://byondthshadows781.deviantart.com/journal/28883706/ http://byondthshadows781.deviantart.com/journal/28883706/ Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:53:41 PST

First day of Awana tonight. I'M EXCITEEED. Oh, how I've missed the little childrens so. Plus! We're getting a truckload of new kiddies since the others grew up and went to Sparks. This should be interesting, to say the least.

And now for me to end this on the oh-so-familiar note that I'm getting around to updating, or that I'll probably never update, or that updating is a cursed disease that I hate and want to jump off a cliff into a raging ocean and be kidnapped by seagulls before it can drown.

...Yeahhh so I'll do it. Eventually. Maybe.

Oh hey! I only have one of those sketches left, so expect those soon. Really, I would of been done days ago but the last one is giving me grief. So...much..grief. Gibberish typing.

So yeah. I'm off.

I'm doing that one free sketch thing that will probably be only kind of awesome and subject me to a heaping spoonfull of madness! Good thing I like madness. Or whatever.

So, uh, lets get this song and dance a runnin'.


The first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a sketch, ~free~.

However, in return, you must offer 10 free sketches in your own journal. If you've already done 10 Free Sketches, simply link the journal entry in your comment.

Yeah, so, I'm not going to be a poot and refuse to do your art before you post the journal. In fact, I'm not even going to force you into reposting this period. Because I'm super-duper nice (maybe).

But remember, children: only one character per sketch. Although, it can be any species, any gender, any thing. I have no solid limits here. Shoot whatever you can at me, and we'll see what I can dish out.

So get commenting. And be fabulous and spread word I'm doing this. I never seem to fill these poor journals up, and I'd like to change that for once.

Note: I'll be uploading these all in one fell swoop. Probably. But if you REALLY WANT TO SEE!!! before that, I'll show you. ASK NICELY.

I lugged my sketch book around with me and did some life sketching, too. Fff I love life sketching. I need to find a way to do it more often.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

Guess who just became a reg on iScribble? What shall I do with my new powerssss?

-------


THAT'S RIGHT IT COULD BE YOU

Aw gee. I commented on one of them feature journal things, so now I have to repost it (not that I have too large of a problem in doing so).

You kiddies all know the drill! But, if you're new to this whole song and dance:

[ R U L E S ]

Be one of the first 14 people to comment on this journal, and I will add your icon, as well as 3 deviations that I like from your gallery to be featured here.

Once I do this, you must do the same on your journal, but putting me as the first slot (sort of completing the list and such)


Since I went and stole this from ~Fountain-Of-Youth:
o1
Tug
Poker Face
Pulling Out My Hair
It was a little too hard not to make all these KarlxRed pieces, but her gallery deserves to have more of it recognized so I controlled myself. Aren't you all proud of me?

Hold Me Tight
Tora Comic Page 01
Don't Wake Her
Wow, Justine! Its a mind trip to see how far you've come. Your method in coloring hair still makes me wriggle with joy~

Last day of being a minor?

Golly.

I don't know how I feel about it, honestly. My mind keeps on (quite annoyingly) teetering back and forth from one extreme to the other. So one moment I'm freaking and the next I'm still freaking, but from squiggly feelings of joy and awesome instead of anticipation and dread.

In a general sense, however, I just feel like I'm being punk'd. I mean, eighteen! That's one number higher than seventeen!

And also the legal adult age. There's that, too.

Ughhhhaannrrnnrgggffgf.

See that? That's my Gabby zombie impression. It'll be especially useful when I get no sleep tonight and have to be true to my state of mind and body tomorrow.

.........OH LORDY TOMORROW. I TURN 18 TOMORROW

WHY WHY HWY WHWY Ddfvffbffff

Hear me out, you pesky, rude, uncooperative projects: you all will be finished -- every last one of you! I don't (can't) care what I have to do to force you out on to a text document, I'll do it, darn it!

I'LL DO IT.




...Ah. You might be a tad bit insane when you're talking to your own unfinished works of literature. Geezy, I really need to get this garbage out.

......What? An update? Oh, uh, somewhere along the lines I'll do that. Probably. Maybe. Unlikely.

Crap I suck.

By the by! Anybody know why how in the world my pageview count skyrocketed on Friday and Saturday? That was so incredibly odd. Its not that I care all too much, I just want to know what happened. I did nothing different, I swear it!

A sad one, indeed.

No, not sad as in emo -- sad as in sad. Like, "Oh my god, she just folded her trash!" kind of sad.

...Ah, crap. I do fold my trash.

Pretty please? I even worked hard and everything!

...Although the timing is off in places. Ah, well, maybe I'll fix it later.

[EDIT] Well, I did go back and brush up some of the more glaring timing errors. Yet, since Youtube is odd and won't let you replace video files, I had to upload the correct timing version somewhere else.

That somewhere else is Facebook. I highly recommend watching it there, but you need an account to do so. So, if you're on FB, the chefs suggestion is watching that version. If not, then not.

The FB link is in the description of the video.

Hmmm. Perhaps I should take a moment to update. Eh, it couldn't hurt.

Right now I'm currently working like a mad woman to get school out of my hair. Its come to my attention that I have to finish by the 27th, so you can imagine how large of a kick thats been for my motivation (I've been slacking off horribly the past few months, see).

My prime concern is Spanish, I have 70+ assignments to brave in the next... two weeks, is it? So, thats about 10 assignments per day, plus the work I have to do in all my other classes. Ironically, I'm farthest ahead in one of my Math courses. Last year, it was the opposite. I finished Spanish the earliest and Math tailed me until late June.

Thankfully, it can't be an exact repeat of history this time (being I can't go until late June). Setting an earlier finish date is just the inspiration I needed to kick myself into next gear.

So! Thats how things are looking on the school front. However, I'd still sooner believe a comet was about to hit the earth than me graduating this year. Oi, I'm so old.

But, onwards.

I've been filling out job applications left and right the past week or so. I've finally turned to face the music and forced myself to understand that its time I stop being such a dud of a teenager and do some real work.

Honestly, though, I'm excited to get a job. Sure, it will absorb a mass of my freetime, but I'm a strictly self sufficient person. Making my own money, being useful, and just organizing my life around something is right up my ally. Besides, if I want a car for my 18th birthday this summer, I have to pay for gas somehow. It all works out.

Hrrm. Justine and I are still at work writing, plotting, and every thing nice. You know, same old song and dance. I'm just going to stop my predictions on when anything will see the light of dA -- I'm always insanely wrong.

In other words, I don't have a single clue on when we'll be finished with the first book. Just know we're both hard at work, and my brain has threatened to fall out once or twice from over-plotting.

Uh, its time I stop procrastinating and get back to work on school for the day. So, this (very rare!) update must draw to a close.

But, before I seal this up, I'm going to throw out a request. Anybody who's anybody should totally flee over to ~server100850's page and wish her a super, special, awesome happy birthday.

If you do, it means you're officially awesome.

But, yeah! Thats it.

New post! Look, I'm actually updating this thing! ))



Its still under construction, but I actually have one now (By the ever-so-creative name of "Feather Dance Creative Outlet. It sounds professional, shut up).

But, uh, yeah. Its become mandatory that I have somewhere I can post stuff that I don't (won't) post any where else because... well, actually, its not mandatory at all. I just wanted a stinkin' art blog.

Whats to be posted on it? Stuff like pokemon art, sketches, character roughs, concept sheets, etc. Maybe even a tiny sliver of FANART. Occasionally. Probably never. Don't bet on it.

I'll probbaly make some of it FRIENDS ONLY!!! to give people some sort of excuse to follow the blog, but we'll see. I don't like pulling the "YOU MUST WATCH THIS OR YOU DON'T GET EVERY THING" card.

Buttt, yeah. I'll make it all spiffy and shiny as time slows on by.

So, a few days ago I was sitting innocently to myself, dwelling yet again on the (very large) project Justine and I have poured our blood n' tears into for the last year and a half or so.

When suddenly!

Countless concepts, ones that'd been bugging me for far too long, decide to fall into place. In their wake comes new ideas, which in turn sprout into even more ideas. In a matter of minutes, my mind had been transformed into one huge, colossal idea festival.

So, basically, the story got this gigantic push that is still throwing my brain into a frenzy.

The best (and worst) part? I haven't been able to stop it.

So, pretty much all my brain power is being invested in plotting; which is possibly the biggest mixbreed of a blessing and curse ever.

So, yeah. Plot explosion!

(( As for when this stuff is actually going to make it to dA (or anywhere in general)... Um, probably a while yet. Its not an easy (nor fast!) process, guys! Writing a book series is far more work than I ever imagined. But, boy, is it a blast. I couldn't stop now if I tried!

So, I decided to kick my lazy butt into doing something I almost never do and write a journal (impossible?! Apparently not.) So, yes. Like this journal should make clear, I am not dead.

With every one heading back to school, it bullies me into wishing I could start earlier then September 11th. I mean, there's no point in Summer if no one is there to spend it with you. Also, it doesn't even seem like Summer any more. Fall has already clipped a few (a lot) of our leaves and now you can barley see grass in the back. Its retarded. Every thing else was late, and now Autumn decides to be early. Yes; very retarded.

Justine and I are working to finish our... cowrite thing still. Our goal before was to finish by the end of Summer, but that obviously didn't... you know, happen. (Stupid month long hiatuses. Ruining our plans like that. Jerks.)

But, after that (eventually) gets done, we get to spend a few more months rewriting the whole thing. I want to try and finish the whole edited, polished product by next Spring and publish it on dA and such soon after. (We can dream, I suppose.) Until then, art for the blasted story will hopefully pop up here and there. Why is drawing humans so hard?

Believe it or not, however, I'm highly looking forward to rewriting it. I've never gotten so far on a story before (thank Justine), and I really believe we can finish and fix up this thing. I never even expected to see what the whole story turned into, though. I mean -- It started off as a Naruto (I still cringe at the thought of it) Fan RP to pass the time. Now, its this huge story with 25+ characters. Thats... amazing? Fascinating? Sweet?

But, yeah. Lets see how long this takes us. ALSO. In between everything, a sequel will be started. Yip an' yee!

Uhhh... Hmmm... Um... What else...Well...

...It appears I've run out of steam. You know, its a miracle I've made this journal so long already. I think.

......Well, at least I updated.

[| EDIT]

Come September 28th, something monstrous will occur to the likes of my gallery. When that chosen day arrives, my gallery will be cleared save for pictures submitted in the last month and a (very) select few drawings.

Why? How? Wry?

Well, its simple. A fresh start art-wise for me has appeared in order for some time. I just cannot stand the sight of everything any longer. Plus, its all (mostly) old and outdated -- a crude representation of my style and who I am / want to be as an artist.

Because deep down I'm a pack rat and I hate to see things disappear off the face of the planet forever, I will be making a Photobucket account that will still contain everything I delete on this dA page. This way, Art Trades and such can still be viewed by the receiver. It all works out!

Hm? You're wondering why I chose September 28th, of all days? Well, that day is special. If anyone can tell me why, they'll get a cookie. And maybe cake. I like cake.

{An Obvious Hint} Look around my dA page.

Yes, I broke the meme. Again.

So, yes. If you want to, I'm hanging around there.

http://byondthshadows781.deviantart.com/journal/19329534/ Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:25:45 PDT The Average Reaction.

Reasonable, aren't we? Honestly, dA. V6 isn't OMGDEVILSPAWN! I'm actually enjoying the new look very much. And, sure, the message centre is sort of confusing, but I'm ALREADY getting the hang of it.

I just logged on 7 minutes ago.

Whatever happened to giving things a chance? A lot of you people are deciding to react like picky children. Just as trusty 'Ma always said, 'You can't say you hate it until you try it.' (Or was it some midget with incredible balance and bad fashion sense...)

A lot of members had a heart attack with v5, too. (I remember like it was yesterday.) I was open to change and liked v5, this is no different.

I'm not saying you have to ENJOY IT, but give it a much needed chance first and accept change. Things change, its not any different on websites.

So be a little more OPEN. I think the impossible might happen, and you'll LIKE IT. If not, fine. Then you'll actually have some sort of REASON not to like it. Not just for the ever-common excuse that its unfamiliar and has yanked you from what you know and are attached to.

Seriously, dA. New adjustments, features and things of the like are always whine targets to many, many people. Change isn't always the end of the world, believe it or not.

Harrr. I love how I only update once every million years. It was at least 100 years ago I typed that last journal. And it wasn't even an update.

...And this one makes me sound like a jerk, no less.

NO SCORE -- I LOSE.

Leave a comment, and I will:
A) Tell you why I friended you.
B) Associate you with something (fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.)
C) Tell you something I like about you.
D) Tell you a memory I have of you.
E) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.

You don't have to post it in your own journal if you don't want to.

Well, I saw this in =Gir-Geek's journal and felt compelled to fill it out myself.

NOTE: For each list I only took one pairing from each fandom to add some variety. Although, I do wish I had somewhere to put Naruhina in my hated ships. >w> Ah well.

______________________________________________
{SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE}
[01] Narusaku (Naruto)
[02] LinkxMidna (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)
[03] KristolxFox (Star Fox)
[04] KyoxTohru (Fruits Basket)
[05] IchiRuki (Bleach)
[06] HigexBlue (Wolf's Rain)

{THREE SHIPS I'VE ABANDONED}
[07] DannyxSam (Danny Phantom)
[08] AizenxMomo (Bleach)
[09] ShikamaruxIno (Naruto)

{THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED}
[10] Sasunaru (Nartuo)
[11] ToboexTsume (Wolf's Rain)
[12] YukixTohru (Fruits Basket)

{THREE SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST}
[13] Taang (Avatar)
[14] UlquiHime (Bleach)
[15] KibaHina (Naruto)
______________________________________________

[01] Why do you dislike #11 (ToboexTsume) so much?
Because I just can't see their relationship as romantic. It always seemed like a brotherly or Son/Dad type of thing to me. I think people often forget the large age gap, too. Its just never been a ship that agreed with me, and I can see it never will confidently.

[02] Who do you know that ships #13 (Taang)?
*MizSweet :3 I strongly suggest reading this. Its what piqued my interest in the ship.

[03] What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 (KrystalxFox)?
Ooh. I read such a good fanfic that was the PERFECT scenario for them. I'll have to link back when I find it, but it was amazing. Honestly, just having Krystal stay on the Starfox team works for me~

[04] What is your favourite moment for #1 (Narusaku)?
Oh, lordy. There are so many, but one that really shows how the more hidden love that Sakura is growing for Naruto is when he turns into his fourtail state. It makes me tear up just thinking about it. ;_;

[05] How long have you been following couple #6 (HigexBlue)?
When it became canon I practically screamed for joy - I had thought about it before it became obvious so...

[06] What's the story with #8 (AizenxMomo)? What made you stop caring?
The truth happened. Aizen became the largest butt in the universe and what he did to her was revealed. I hated him after that - I only hate him more now.

[07] Which ship do you prefer - #2 (LinkxMidna) or #4 (KyoxTohru)?
LinkxMidna, hands down. Its like... still one of my favorite pairings of all time. Only Narusaku can even KEEP UP with it.

[08] You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 (Sasunaru) or #12 (YukixTohru).
SASUNARU. Rarrrggg. -w-;;; But, then again, elimination of YukixTohru would be splendid...... Geh - Sasunaru gone would be better. *is shot multiple times*

[09] What interests you about #14 (UlquiHime)?
Aheh... This is sort of one of my guilty pleasure pairings. The whole chemistry is very interesting...

[10] When did you stop liking #7 (DannyxSam)?
Well, after all the cliches started kicking in and such... I just see so much more potential and development in DannyxValorie.

[11] Did your waning interest in #9 (ShikamaruxIno) kill your interest in the series?
Of course not! Only pairing in Naruto that would totally kill my interest in the series if it got messed up/lost its spark would be Narusaku. Its kind of one of the only reasons I tag along with Naruto still. XD;

[12] What's a song that reminds you of #5 (Ichiruki)?
I know I can think of one - I'll tell you when it comes to me.

[13] Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
This is too close of a tie between Narusaku and LinkxMidna. Much too close.

[14] Which do you dislike the most?

But, yes. My excuses for tardiness aside, Happy Birthday, once again!

Mmmm. Feeling a lot better after that large(ish) slump. Things have been shaping up around here, but that doesn't mean we're not on shaky ground anymore. We've seen better days, obviously.

If any one around here has the heart and believes in this sort of thing, a prayer our way would be very welcomed and appreciated. Truth be known, your hopes and such would mean the world to me. :c You don't have to, though. Just throwing the idea out there.

Thats all for now. Updates of the larger kind will have to wait - still doing school.

*looks below* MEMORIAL DAY? Pfft, please.

WELL I JUST HAVE TO DROP THIS LINK OFF: [link]

HAVE A NICE DAY CHILDRENZ... and don't forget your daily helping of Dr. House. I know Heather won't : D *shotded*

LULZ END GABBY EDIT

WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR BREAKFAST TYRANNOSAURUS ALLAN?

My friends, think of the most downright epic thing that has ever graced your daily schedule. Reflect back on the thing that you can still just downright disbelieve happened to you. It was one of, if not the best, time(s) of your life. Think of it? You sure? Positive? Well. I bet I can surpass its epicness. I THINK I'LL DO IT NOW.

So, a week or so ago a certain trip was planned. With the help of two very kind mothers and a little bit of persuasion on my behalf (pff, Memorial Day) my mother and I were set to fly out to Maryland on Wednesday, the 19th of March.

Sleep wasn't too friendly to me that night or the nights to follow. You must imagine how hard it is to rest when such a large amount of excitement is circulating through your blood. I think I burned a decent number of calories in my sleep my heart was racing a bit too much for a while there. But, this is beside the point.

So fast-forward and you have my mother and I in the airport. Skip past the delay and the confusion both parties embraced thanks to obscure planning only some one like me can mess up, we have us driving to Gabby's house. It took some patience to set up the GPS (that was totally pimping, mind you) and we have us pulling up next to the home that could only be theirs.

Even now, looking back, it didn't feel like a first meeting. At all. It felt like seeing an old friend I had lost physical touch with through out the years. Gabby was just Gabby - its safe to say we fell into the swing rather quickly.

I was real upset to discover that Erin couldn't go out to eat with us, but her reasons were solid and perfectly excusable. I'm still sorry, Erin. :C

...I love how I sound so formal with this.

ALRIGHT. Basically, the whole trip was FANTASTICO (or however you spell that.) We barley sat still or shut up. XD It was - no - STILL IS - dream worthy.

A few things off the list:
[o] Went to the mall and did a countless number of things. Like watch anime elephants and immerse our noses in the smell of sweet, sweet leather.
[o] Geek out using the power of video games and pokeman-like influences.
[o] Watch Japanese cooks make a fool out of me and my fear of catching things... in my mouth.
[o] Talk until our tongues got sores on them.
[o] Wake up at the most devastating hours of the morning with only three hours of sleep to fuel us.
[o] CRY OVER THE LOSS OF NO MORE SANTI T-SHIRTS... But this is a one-sided event, in all reality.
[o] Question the bones of Tyrannosaurs Allan over the likes of Breakfast.

It was all epic, really. So epic I can't even begin to explain it. Gabby would do better justice. (HINT, HINT, young one. >c)

Our Moms got along too, SO... Happy, happy, joy, joy. BUT, ERIN. JUSTINE. Next time, at my house, we're having a pool party.

...

...

...Does anyone else find it amusing Gabby and qouted Youtube Poop half the time?

I have one last thing to say.

Heathra the Amazon jungle warrior is stalking your window with her Ringtail while drinking Orange Juice and practicing CPR (with what? Oh you.)

How you like them apples?

What was? That concert.

...Good Lord. I saw CHRIS DAUGHTRY and BON JOVI - SINGING -- in PERSON -- on stage bgfnfnf

...I just don't even know where to begin explaining. I'm still in a little disbelief. Just know thats now like... a highlight of my life.

..Especially when Chris came up on stage and they sang together. I've never screamed so loud... inmyexistance. The energy of that place was amazing. It made me dance. ME.

...Ohmygod. Ididnotjustseethatconcertlastnight.

So yes, that was a godly stupendous show. And HOLY CRAP can Bon Jovi lead a concert... I love his music ten times more now and Chris - I somehow love him even more - which I didn't think was even possible anymore. I just cannot believe I saw two of my favorite musicians of all time and one of my favorite people of all time.

...Ahhh I didn't think I was a concert person AT ALL but that changed my mind. That was just so unreal. I can't wait to see Chris put up a concert of his own, though. There just wasn't as much excitement when he opened because not every one there was there to see him. I want that sort of energy for Daughtryyyyy.

Ohyeahand. He had this amazing hat on that like... XDDD Never mind. And his voice? Ten TRILLION times better in person. I got GOOSEBUMPS like... 10 times as he sung. So much freaking EMOTION. Like when he sang Over You... Holyyyy crap.

Speaking of emotion, I did cry a few times, yeah. Like... four times when Chris was singing out of joy and disbelief and once because I could just... sense the emotion in his singing and it sent me off the edge. And a few more times with Bon Jovi - WHO CRIED IN TWO OF HIS SONGS bfgbfg My god I love those men.

We had to leave before the end, however. It was all the way in Chicago and we still had to drive home -- plus the traffic would of been HORRENDOUS. Leaving when we did we got home after 11. If we had left at the end we would of gotten home at around... 1. I would of loved to stay the whole thing, but we sadly weren't closer and not spending the night in the city.

Raarrgggg.

Oh? An explanation for my title? We sang that song at the concert. AMAZING. XDDD Bon Joviiiii I love youuuu. ;w;

Sorry for failing at explaining. I'm just still EXTREMELY psyched. XD However, all in all, I have something very important to say:

I here by dub Chris Daughtry the most sextastic man on the face of this gorgeous planet .

That will be all~

...What? I didn't type a journal concerning this already? Hm, well, stress seems to be my cheerleader lately and you can't possibly get much done with that booming in your ears.

The day of the NIU (Northern Illinois University) shootings, my brother was out looking for an apartment. In case I haven't made it obvious, he goes there. He came home as soon as he could, thankfully, and it took the whole family a bit for things to sink in. At first he didn't react much at all, but the morning after he was real mad over it. School starts back up tomorrow for him - I can only imagine how how hard it will be for everyone there.

He isn't going next year, he's decided -- Not many people are. I can bring myself to understand that - I'd do the same. The thing is... It can happen anywhere, anytime, any place. Its just... unnerving. And babbling about it over the news and giving the guy publicity isn't going to help anything. The media needs to learn to drop things and quit giving people ideas. -w-

I would go on with how the shooter was a normal guy and how horrible the whole thing concerning the shock of it all was (and still is), but I'm sure we've heard enough of that. My brother is safe, he's well, and my heart goes out to those who lost anybody in this. I can't fathom how difficult it must be...

Uh... I'll try to update on some other subjects later. For now, I'm going to clear my head a bit more.

New Quiz!

ITS SHORT.

ITS SO SHORT. WHY DID I GET IT CUT.

MY HAIR. Its so shorrrt. -w-

Itssodifferenttt. Don't get me wrong - I love short hair on other people but not on myself. XD; Its longer then its been in the past after hair cuts, though... Plus, I don't HATE it - its just going to need some getting used to.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES TO SCAR YOUR EYES WITH

o Yuna Lighting o1
-- I don't know - the lighting in this picture makes me sort of look like Yuna from FFX. Its quite amusing.

o Yuna Lighting o2
-- Another with the funky lighting. Argh - I hate my small eyes.

o OHSHI-
-- Ahhh. I take horrible pictures. -w- I always looks so BAD and like... three years younger in them. Thats another thing the haircut does, though. Make me look younger. *FAIL*

o *Devilish Thoughts*
-- Only one thing to say on this one. "I want my carbonated beverage."

o Your children - hide them
-- The hair fails at making me look my age, I fail at showing my teeth in smiles. It all works out.

So, yes. Thats my hair now. Only thing I love about this length of hair is putting it up in a pony tail - it looks funny. XD

I love how Erin and I have been such teenage girls lately~ Typing fight scenes in RP is hard, by the way.

ALSO, Raiden is apparently John in disguise - which makes Lori Hougen. It all begins to click after that.

FOUR TICKETS TO A BON JOVI CONCERT.

And Chris D is the opening act.

OH MY GOD... Erin, you're going with me! I SWEAR. vbfgbhngh

As for the reminder: All my Christmas stuff aside, I DO have gifts for people coming. Seven of them, to be exact. You must understand seven gifts take time to do. XD They should be done either tomorrow or the day after - I WILL get them done. You can shoot me upside the head if I don't.

Why'd I ask for so much traditional media stuff? I'm stretching into that art form more. I'm still a digital girl at heart, though - which is why I wanted another tablet. I'd be lost without it. :B

But, yes. Hope every one has a great Holiday. :3 *goes to help make breakfast*

I actually have the motivation to make an update - but dinner awaits.

The emotions they hold... feeling every bit of it... Crying for them - yelling for them - remotely becoming part of them... And then in the end being helpless in easing any of that pain.

It hurts.

It stings more then anything I've ever felt for myself. I wish I had some way to help.

Maybe then this empathy issue would go away... Yeah. I want to help - I want to make them smile - make them become truly happy. I... I really do.

Too bad I'll never have a clue.

If anybody catches it I'll do something for them. (Like I still need to do for Gabby, who caught it last time, whoops.) It doesn't have to be a drawing for no one really wants one of those.

BUT YES. Catch it and I'll not only do something but I'll love you foreevvveerrr.

A real update will follow this... eventually.

Am I the only one who finds it sad that I've been on here for over two years and I'm just hitting 7,000?

Hilarious, I tell you. Pageviews don't bug me anymore, though. ACCEPTANCE IS GOLD, CHILDREN.

BUT, HEATHER.

Does that mean you lied in the past about pageviews? In a way, yes. But, I've come to see for MYSELF (finally) that it isn't about the pageviews but about the art and how much I improve. And if you took a look at the first page of my scraps, you would certainly see I have, indeed, improved.

So. I guess that number that counts hits on your webpage doesn't really mater and its just a pride spiral for people like me.

As stated... Acceptance is gold.

QUICK.

SOME ONE GIVE ME AN ANIMAL/THING THATS VERY INTERESTING...

And is sort of Halloween-ish?

...Please?

If you can think of anything not talked about a lot... THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

I NEED IT FOR MY JOB.

That is all.

Sing with me, Gabby!

Ahhh. You gotta love those 4 way phone conversations.

"AT LEAST TAMMY CARES ABOUT MY FEELINGS. COME ON, TAMMY. WE'RE LEAVING THESE BABIES HERE ALONE."

Good times, mm. Even though I wasn't a happy camper all night last night.

Why, you ask?

My muse decided to pack up and leave me behind. I cannot write at all. Last thing I could write with a FLOW and not HORRIBLY OBSESS OVER was a lame post a few days back. Dealing with a "swan" that has "the coordination of an elephant" (Oh Raiden, we love you. We really do.)

I've been trying to turn to what I think is now my favorite book for assistance ( A SEPARATE PEACE. Go read it if you haven't ) because I love John Knowle's writing WAY TOO MUCH (Maybe I shouldn't go to that book for help anymore, though. I get into it too much every time I pick up the book. Seriously. This is me a lot of the time, as of late. I CAN'T HELP IT.)

BUT THIS... Its all driving me insane. :c I can't write and its SO ANNOYING. I'm just giving myself a break and hope it comes back by itself. I think part of it is being so blown away by too many great authors. I feel... so unworthy. SO BAD.

I would go on on how I complicate everything, but time is running short (school is waiting)and it will turn into an angry journal. I'll just take it out in my SHOUT IT OUT thing.

Which Erin STOLE HALF OF MY STUFF ON.

We're too alike. I swear.

...UH.

I still think Light's laugh is crying, Erin.

I refuse to call that laughing.

...

Princesss Tooadddstoool.

Whoops. I forgot to get a costume ( today sneaked up on me - I swear! ) so I guess I'm recycling last year's pirate costume. I should totally make a headband out of toilet paper ( ITS LIKE BLUE MAN GROUP ALL OVER AGAIN ) and call myself a pirate ninja.

You know that would be awesome.

In other news. Uh. Updates, hm...

We did go to Virgina but it was only for family matters. Even if Gabby and Erin WERE THERE ( unlike they WERE ) I probably wouldn't of had that much time to see them. I need to plan to get down there just for that, mm. But we really needed to get down there ASAP because of my Great Uncle Wes. His time here is getting shorter, if you know what I mean. Plus, we've literally put it off like... 6 times.

The trip was fun, though, yeh. While I was there, I started this real hard black cat puzzle ( all black save for some details ). I love challenging things, and this was no exception. However, since we had to leave, I now have to start all over. At least my Great Aunt let me bring it with us. We have to take a picture of it when we finish, she says. I was impressed by her collection - she had some puzzles that would literally take weeks/months to do. I want to try one, mm.

In the car, I watched Hoodwinked for the first time. I was very impressed with it, I have to say. XDDD Such an original take on an old story... It was very well done, too. And that Critters Have Feelings song is still stuck in my head.

Got to drive part of the way on the 12 hour trip home. Would of on the way there but it was raining nasty hard a lot of the drive. My Dad was like "NOI'LLJUSTDRIVEK." That stuff literally added like... 3 hours to our trip.

BUT THOSE TREES.

I.

DIED.

That was the prettiest thing I've ever seen. No joke. Gah - I forgot I loved autumn as much as I do.

Hm... what else did we do. Oh! We went to the Air and Space Museum with friends and family.

PART OF IT MADE ME WANT TO BE A WAR PILOT? Or at least make a character who is one. See, we watched this IMAX movie on Red Flag and it was AMAZING. That kind of stuff... it just... Its so hard to explain. You're talking to some one who would enjoy the challenge of military school. I just... meh. Jealous, I am, yes.

Maybe I should look into studying this stuff deeply and making a whole Roleplay over it... hm...

But the museum was awesome in itself. I've always been pretty fascinated by planes, and that just fueled my fire. Actually made me sort of wish I had some sort of mechanical skill at one point.

So yeah. My geek side thrived a lot there. I have pictures, which I'll put on here when I get a hold of my sister's camera. If she'll let me touch it, that is. Seriously. I had to borrow her cell phone to call Erin at a point at the hotel and she was all "*DEATHGLARE*GETOFFMYPHONE" She stalked me the whole time I was talking to her. Gotta love the over-protective people. Yet she treats my laptop like crap? Mm. The world ceases to make sense.

I need Wifi so I can battle some of my trained little pokes. But no one cares about that.

I've somehow hit a new point in my obsession with the Ginga series. Never in my life have I loved an anime so much.

AHHH. Tobi's voice WHAT THE CRAP?! No wonder Dei gets annoyed with him! XD

Uhhh. I really need to get working on school. :B; German is hard, yes. OH AND...

Raiden is going to kill me in my sleep. Its a fact.

____________

I don't think I've ever thrown up more in my life. Like. Ever.

Ah. Not even two hours of sleep and constant vomiting last night. Been sick into today. Only way I could take medicine for it was through the other end.

Yay for random shudder fits and actually collapsing on the bathroom floor at two points.

But, yeah. I have the flu, apparently. I felt nauseous last night and... Well. You know how you can tell you're going to throw up like... 2 hours before you do so? And every second leading to it is horrible and you just want to get it over with?

I dealt with that. And I thought I was going to feel better after I threw up the first time. Ha - a laugh now.

I threw up a total of 10 (okay - counting the one time all I did was cough and deal with the muscles working for nothing. I never threw up that time - but it sure was painful) times last night and into this morning. It had a cycle - I would throw up - feel a LITTLE better - but the nausea would return in about 10 minutes. I would try and fall asleep - and then wake up and run to the bathroom.

There's all sorts of lovely details I could fill you in on, but no one likes TMI - especially when it deals with dramatized regurgitation.

But, yes. I took that special medicine that is also TMI and it took away the need to throw up all of today (and by that I mean after 10 o'clock this morning.) All I've really done is sleep all day and deal with a fever that likes to go away and come back horribly (making me want to be cold one hour - then fall into actual shudders from being so cold.)

I haven't thrown up since I took it, but the nausea is starting to get really extreme again. And I can feel my stomach starting to REALLY get upset. Oi.

Oh god. If its another night like last night, I think I might just scream.

Last night was hell on earth.

I hate the flu. End of story.

Craziness. Madness.

STRESS. ALL SORTS OF LOVELY EMOTIONS RILED. Things I will explain later!

GAH. GAH. GAH.

...Ahem.

Well. I passed my drivers test.

Yay!

I went on a campout this last weekend and it was amazing.

Yay!

I'm dealing with a whole lot of emotional crap right now and are confused beyond recognition.

UH... not so... yay.

Hm. Lets just type this up later with explanations and meaty details and all that jazz. I need to go to Drivers Ed now to WATCH AND OBSERVE LIKE A GOOD STUDENT. Because I'm done driviinngggg. I'M DONE DRIVING.

...I had cocoa pebbles. Shut up.

Driving over to NIU this weekend for something dealing with my brothers college. A family weekend of sorts, if you will. Should be fun. What shouldn't be fun is driving down there. Urgh. I need the hours, though.

My laptop decided to be a dud and the hard-drive committed suicide the other day. But, I didn't loose everything. Took it over to an Apple Store and they said they can preserve some of the files (specifically, what was on the desktop and the documents stuff.) Honestly, I just REALLY wanted my training charts (which was saved.) I did want everything else, and it depresses me its all gone, but I'll live.

Started school this week. Its pretty fun - very short. I can go at my own pace, too, so thats pretty awesome. What isn't awesome is I'm cooped up in my room for school at the moment - being laptop-less and all. We need to go over to Woodfeild and pick it up. Why does it have to be 45 minutes and always busy down there? Meh. We'll get it... eventually.

Almost done training my next team in Pearl. I'm an EV trainer, so it takes some time. I love my new team so far, though. I'll be up for battles as soon as my Dad drops the security on our internet access. Speaking of training - I should really be training my Exeguttor now.

Or taking a shower.

...Gah.

My DS decided to go evil on me, too. This happened like... almost a month ago, though. It started frying my games - almost killed Pearl. Who knew technology could go homicidal? If you compare my Pearl to my brothers Diamond, it looks like some one started burning it. Did it to all my other games, too. It must of been doing this for a while, but it just started getting deadly for everything.

I know what you're wondering. How the heck am I training without a DS. Well, you see, I got a new one. After a long while in earning it. Its black and red and shiny and cool and I love it. I love it a lot. I miss my old white one at times, though.

Trying to break my writers block lately - being some writers on dA have simply blown me away. I want to write again, yeh.

Been doing a little better in drawing. Been sketching a whole lot. Hopefully that will start to kick in and show soon. But, then again, coloring stuff and finishing it is a whole other story so.... uh. Who knows when it will purely show.

Been listening to a lot of 'The Fray's' stuff lately. Explaining my journal title.

...What? You say I sound a little bit different then normal? Wheres the hyperness - the absence of... total almost mad sounding seriousness? Its gone in this journal, thanks to PMS.

I was in a good mood this morning.

...Really.

Fine. To make you all happy, I will end this on a hyper note.

I just cannot wait. XD I really can't.

Uh. Drawing. Its really annoyed me the past few days and have been making me go super doubtful of myself. I almost don't want to keep on trying anymore. Are they ANY ideas on how to break artblock?

And writing, too. So much RP has shaken my style and now I can't switch between writing and RP style. ITS DRVING ME CRAZY. I REALLY need advice guys... Below is what happens when I just TRY TO WRITE.

"Ryan sounded a grunt before his attention shifted to look down the hill he was perched upon, a blank stare matching his insecurity as he gazed. It was clear for the most part, but that could quickly change.

Perhaps he shouldn't of come here. It was tough keeping his mind off the thought as he crouched down next to a large boulder, his fingers lightly tapping against the sphere strapped to his belt, the object glimmering in the steady moonlight. If the situation had been even a little more friendly, an event or two would assure his doubtful heart and ease him back into a state of importance. It was his sole motivation for joining such a intricate field of work in the first place, but now he was questioning even that. Was being important worth all this?

His hands found the jug strapped to his right hip and he raised it up to his mouth, nothing but drops falling onto his tongue and doing little but moisten it. He had run out of water long ago, yet he still attempted to satisfy his thirst every time he craved for a drink. The whole action was pointless, and he knew this. He just couldn't help himself.

He missed the warmth of a bed; the refreshing feel of water slithering down his throat as he took a long, quenching drink. He longed for the groggy feeling a full stomach brought on - even the cruel chills and bites frost left on his flesh from the cruel winters his home braved.

All of it was something rarely embraced in his new way of life... The life he chose for himself. The life of a guardian."

It sounds very RPish in ways to me. God. *slams head against desk* Not writing too. Can any body hand out pointers in how to break the RP accent?

And. What is that? Mm. Something dealing from a story I'm planning. Its still a very rough idea but.. No. I'm not handing out any information. Every time that happens, its never touched again. *pokes Tegoneki* So just read that up there and think over it if you're interested. I'll give you one thing - that orb is important... And so is "guardian".

I cannot believe my brother left for college yesterday. Its just... slowly slinking in now. It really hit me when my Mom was real upset yesterday when she was talking to him... They got into a minnie fight over what he should do over his boxes and it went super emotional from there. Its just... when did he get that old?

How to Save a Life is probably a song I cry right about everytime I hear it. Its such a sad song to me, but I llove it. And this AMV doesn't make any of it less sad. Thats the saddest AMV I've ever seen. XD; "Or he'll say he's just not the same. And you'll begin to wonder why you came." Naruto. ;-;

Oh, yeah. I swore I said this in my last journal but I'm back on Gaia again. Sole reason is a shop I opened up with Gabby. My profile page is here. I'm making a single journal to talk about the shop... SO YES.

NOW. I must go make a very late breakfast......with my - ninja info cards.



What the heck are those?

]]> ~byondthshadows781 http://byondthshadows781.deviantart.com/journal/14237995/ http://byondthshadows781.deviantart.com/journal/14237995/ Sun, 19 Aug 2007 09:37:12 PDT this an update? ...It is. ITS TIME TO TIME WARP, CHILDREN. BACK TO THE FU- I MEAN PAST.

First things first - READY SET GO.

_____
School
Uh. I'm homeschooling this year. Long story on why I am... It deals a lot with college. Oh god I'm going to miss highschool a lot, and I mean A LOT, but I need to do this. I don't like the curriculum I'm doing much either, but I'm going to really enjoy going at my own pace. I could even finish high school early if I wished. So thats that. My sister is mad at me because I won't be around to show her around the highschool tomorrow, but I might go just to do that. I GET A VISITOR STICKER IF I DO THAT. :B

Driving
Argghhhh. Still hate it. But whatever. I drive everywhere now, so I'm mostly used to it. I start behind the wheel some time this upcoming school year... so uh. Yeah. Mr. Kibs is going to be all "K HEATHER DO :insertsomethingIhatedoing:" "...UH...K.":c Uh. I might ask for my own car next birthday, though. Yes, I'm weird. I didn't ask for one on my sixteenth because I was afraid I would... crash it or something. I wanted to get used to driving first, uhn.

Florida
Perhaps I should still make a journal dedicated to that trip, because all I'm going to say is it was fun. And blowfishes are cool. Can't forget the blowfishes.

Pool
I forget if I ever said anything about this on dA but if I didn't... we got an in=ground pool this summer. Its amazing - and making me not want fall to come for the first time in my life... SPEAKING OF WHICH.

SEASONS OTHERS THEN SUMMER vfdbfdbfd
ARGH. For once, I don't want the other seasons to come. :c I don't really know COMPLETELY why... and its driving me insane. Ah well. I'll get over it real fast. XD

Drawing
Oi. Not much luck in this area. WHY DO I SUCK SO BAD vfgbfgbfb Artblock is mean, uhn. I HATE IT. And I hate my inability to draw for fun anymore. :c Makes me sad. BUT NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS.

Jobs
Since I'm homeschooled now, I'm waiting until I start school to get one. I want one still, this summer was just too hectic for one.

VIRGINA AND MARYLANDDDDD
FAVORITE PART OF THE JOURNAL RIGHT HERE. Guess where I'm going labor day weekend? :B YES. MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA. Going to see my Great Uncle Wes and Aunt Sylvia and Gabby and Errriiinnn. IF THE WORLD EXPLODES FROM SOME SORT OF FREAK EXPLOSION...

IT DEFINITELY WASN'T OUR FAULT.

Seriously, though. Its going to be amazinnggg. And we're flying and getting the tickets so its all FOR SURE NOW. Not all "lolwe'redrivingSO. We go whenever we please. :B"

Health
I think my immune system has gotten better. :B Only have gotten sick like... once in forever. XD And, I've been getting a lot of excersize this summer and been eating better, too. YEY FOR HEALTH!!11!!1

Family
For those wondering over what exactly happened, my Mom and Dad talked, and everything is back to normal. Hopefully my brother leaving for college next week helps lower the stress levels with my parents, which lowers down yelling in the long run. Lately, though. Things have been fine between all of us. Which is very, very good.

Names and nicknames
So many people call me by my real name now it feels weird [save for certain people] when they call me Al or whatever still. But, you can continue to call me whatever you want. Heck, even if its BYTS. I don't prefer anything, really. I'm just me. XD
_____

WELL! Thats all for now. I'm going out to eat soon SO. Yes. I can't believe I actually typed up an update for once. XD Watch for falling skies if you decide to take a walk~ *girlyexclamationpointlol*

....Watch it, fools.

AND IF SOME ONE OTHER THEN GABBY OR ERIN CAN TELL ME WHERE I GOT THE TITLE OF THIS JOURNAL... I'll love you forever. :c
