(dec17)<br /><br />Well, anyway... for some reason, the touchpad on my laptop isn't working. and it's really frustrating. I'm using my tablet as a mouse right now, and frankly, it's not working too well... Any ideas? not even the buttons are working, and YES it's turned on (and I can't turn it off, that's how much it isn't working.)<br /><br />Ummm... still behind on NaNo, but DO plan to finish. i have just over 21K words. Wow... i have a lot of work to do tonight. >< I also have to finish writing my essays for Connections today, so I don't fail. >.> stupid connections with your stupid essays and stupid grading system. ><<br />Alright, I'm done for now.<br />Gotta go find excuses to get out of stuff so that I can finish this thing.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="icon"></div><div class="sepperator"></div><br /><br />I swear. I mean, "WHADDA MEAN THERE'S ONLY A WEEK UNTIL FINALS? WHAT?? NANOWRIMO ISN'T OVER IN A WEEK. MY JAPANESE HOMEWORK CAN'T HAVE TO BE DONE BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK. AND I DO NOT TURN 17 IN LESS THAN A MONTH. THERE'S JUST NO WAY." ...basically.<br />and YES everyhting there is TRUE.<br /><br /><strong>Finals</strong><br />*Digs out finals schedule*<br />Connections for an hour and a half, then connections AGAIN for half hour (OMG two hours in connections?!?!?!?) then trig for  1/2 hour, lunch, band 1/2 hour, then chem final for a half hour. OMG FUN. /sarcasm.<br />(this is one tues)<br /><br />(and this one is on wed! see a pattern?)<br />connections final pt. 2 (I swear they're trying to torture us.) trig final (I KNOW they're trying to torture us) then tech spec (fun stuff. YAY ROBOTS!) then 5th (free period for my japanese class, discuss later) then band final (...rock band?)<br /><br />(thurs. HALF DAY WHOO!)<br />Tech spec final, then last day to REALLY work on my japanese class...<br /><br />I have Friday off <3<br /><br /><strong>Meh Language Class</strong><br />I'm kinda sorta stressing over it right now. DDX PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME STUDY. I am SO behind. DX<br /><br /><strong>Birthday!</strong><br />Why yes, I REALLY do turn 17 in less than a month (Dec. 17) IT'S ON A THURSDAY. But here's how I'm thinking about it: I have 3 things that I'm SUPPOSED to do that day, Japanese final, birthday party (OK well, planning on), and a concert.<br />What I've decided (for now): there is no humanly possible way to do all three. Seriously. So I'm going to take my three hour (or so) final in the morning, come home, have my birthday party sat afternoon. No concert. Telling my director that there's no possible way. (Already told her I didn't think I could do it. So i think I'm MOSTLY good there.)<br /><br /><strong>NANOWRIMO</strong><br />Less than a week. Oh. Em. Gee. There is NO way I'm going to make it. I can't really write for the next three days (unless I skip out on helping make Thanksgiving dinner, and afterwords skimping out on socialization that I really couldn't care less about anyway AND clean-up. which would be rude. but meh.) and over the REAL weekend, I'll be working on school work. 2 essays to make up, and most likely ANOTHER one. >< won't go into detail about those besides: MY ENGLISH CLASS IS STUPID. DDX Anyway... done now.<br /><br /><div class="footer">Journal Skin by =<a class="u" href="http://thewinator.deviantart.com/">Thewinator</a> and =<a class="u" href="http://keepwalking07.deviantart.com/">keepwalking07</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="icon"></div><div class="sepperator"></div><br /><br />First of all, I would like to apologize to the person mentioned in the last journal. I accept your truce, and hope that we can be civil to each other. Friendship may come again, with time. I was honestly (happily) surprised that you had the maturity to apologize. Thank you.<br /><br />Second of all, I would like to mention to some certain people to stop causing DRAMA over something that is not important, and grow up a little. Hmmm?<br /><br />Third of all, I love how LOST my grandma can get us before anyone realizes. We ended up 42 miles away from Salem, when that's another HOUR from where we were headed back to. XDDD it was quite hilarious. Although, instead of getting back between 4 and 5, we got back at 6. A little lost anyone?<br /><br />And last of all, I'M STILL BEHIND ON MY NANO!!!!!!!!!<br />Gonna go write! See you all later!<br /><br /><div class="footer">Journal Skin by =<a class="u" href="http://thewinator.deviantart.com/">Thewinator</a> and =<a class="u" href="http://keepwalking07.deviantart.com/">keepwalking07</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <div class="icon"></div><div class="sepperator"></div><br /><br /><strong>THIS IS NOW ONLY HERE FOR dA'S PURPOSE. TO PROVE I DID NOTHING WRONG.</strong><br /><br />UGH. I am just so sick of HER. She is rude, childish, selfish, obnoxious, arrogant, and some other terrible adjectives I can't think of right now. Her and her goons. i have just about HAD IT. If there hadn't of been a teacher in the room, i might have punched her. HARD. Fortunately for her, I don't feel like getting into any more hot water about this issue. I'm sorry for ranting in your ear, DA, but since not everyone here knows her, or me, in real life, it's the only place I CAN rant without sounding like a total drama queen or something.<br />Today, I printed out two copies of my NaNo, one for a friend, and one for my uncle. I handed one copy to my friend (who is in a wheelchair and thus has a hard time holding things and going places at the same time) and she accidentally dropped it. So I handed her the other copy and went to pick that copy up off the floor, SPECIFICALLY asking her and her goons (who were walking by) to NOT step on it (who wants footprints on their manuscript?). The two of them who were just walking by (her and her sister) PURPOSELY stepped on it, then GLOATED about it to each other (when they thought they were out of ear shot I guess - but they're REALLY loud). I was one pissed, and two just about ready to cry because I thought that she as at least a better person than that. Turns out I was wrong about her. She has no decency whatsoever. Even though we aren't friends anymore, I thought that she would at least treat me with a little bit of respect. I have been nice to her, even HELPED her, even after she said that she hates me. I've tried to be nice, I've tried to be decent, I've tried to be CIVIL, and all I get in return is childish games. Every time I talk to her, ask her something, SEE her, HEAR her, I feel like I'm back in the third grade, maturity wise. And even then, I feel like she's being immature. I AM SO SICK OF IT. I've tried to be the better person, I've tried handling this responsibly, I've tried talking to teachers, even the administration. It's gotten me NO WHERE. And the really sad part is that she's like this with EVERYONE except for her goons and the other person. Around them she's just bossy. So here is what I am doing:<br /><br />The pen is mightier than the sword, therefore, instead of lashing out with my fist (which would be oh-so-satisfying) I shall revel in the knowledge that I am writing a novel, she is in, it and she in going to die (in the novel!). I will also enjoy the fact that at the end of the month I will have written a novel, while her and her stupid writing "club" (it's four members, her, her goons, and the other person(I'm starting to think that she's forced into it)) will be struggling with the first page. Then, at our high school reunions, I will be able to happily go up to her, shove my latest project in her face and gladly say "HAHA." The only other time that I will be happy seeing or hearing about her will be her obituary. I think it would be rather ironic (and slightly amusing in a morbid way) if she died from her obsession. <br /><br />*******************************END RANT*******************************************<br /><br />      <div class="sepperator"></div><br /><strong>Updates start here:</strong><br />11552 words of NaNo done. Will edit and upload parts towards end of Dec. <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/508032">[link]</a> name: cupcakemichi<br /><br />May have some art stuffs towards end of month as well, I have a tree I painted a few weeks ago, and I will have 1 or 2 mole day pics. (It's a chem joke) <br /><br />Also here is my question: If I post excerpts of my NaNo novel, and put it up for sale online, would you buy it?<br />(If money was not an issue)<br /><br />I will be ordering a few copies of it for myself, plus one editing copy from createspace (i believe it is). But whether I decide to let ANYONE and EVERYONE buy it is up to you. If only one or two people say yes, then I won't, but too many more than that, and I might. <br /> <br />i am also going to set up a mailing list for people I know in RL, and some people i talk to online, if you're interested in reading it right at the end of Nov. I do warn you, however, that it is highly unedited and full of mistakes. (the first thing I'm doing Dec. 1st is running spell and grammar check) So note me with your e-mail if you're interested (or leave it here if you're comfortable with that).<br /><br />Did i leave anything out?<br /><br /><div class="footer">Journal Skin by =<a class="u" href="http://thewinator.deviantart.com/">Thewinator</a> and =<a class="u" href="http://keepwalking07.deviantart.com/">keepwalking07</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So yes, happy free-candy day everyone! have fun dressing up and begging for candy! apparently, i'm too old for this. D=<br />I am currently sitting in front of my computer dressed as the cheshire cat. Complete with purple cat ears, nails, striped tight and shirt. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />And just because it's a cool number, I'll be doing a kiriban for 5,555 pageviews, but it'll have to be exact. Please?<br /><br />NaNoWriMo... starts in about 3 hours (PST anyway) and I'm am so ready for it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> Well, not practically, but mentally (I have no plot), but it's the mentality that counts right? I'm probably either going to go with a cheesy fanasy novel. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> my nano name is cupcakemichi (how original! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> ) so you can go buddy me if you feel like it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Kay, that's all. I'm going to go back to sulking with <a href="http://the-loudsilence.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/h/the-loudsilence.jpg?4" alt=":iconthe-loudsilence:" title="the-loudsilence"/></a> . Goodnight, be safe, and have fun!<br /><br />*UPDATE*<br />I STARTED MY NANO. I have 384 words written, and plan to write more later today. But for right now, I'm going to go to bed, after I ask these questions: What were inportant/significant/unlucky/lucky dates in the medieval era? Which calendar would most people have used? How do you convert the dates? Any other random info on the medieval era?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ not just 1. BUT 3 WHOLE THINGS.<br /><br />WAIT. I TAKE IT BACK. FOUR THINGS HAVE MADE MY DAY.<br /><br />1) feeling TONS better than I did this morning and yesterday.<br />2) I HAVE A NEW FRENCH HORN BUDDY STARTING NEXT TERM.<br />3) PEANUT BUTTER BALLS.<br />4) THIS: <a href="http://hq.deviantart.com/blog/27143006/">[link]</a>  YAY GROUPS.<br /><br />1) yesterday I came home and went to bed, got up to eat, went back to bed. this morning i almost didn't go to school for the PSAT because i didn't feel well at all. 10 cough drops later, I feel TONS better.<br />2) one of my friends' boyfriend is joining band AND HE'S A FRENCH HORN. YAY.<br />3) as anyone who's had one knows: YUM. (for the curious: it's not just peanut butter, it's basically a kind of frosting(powdered sugar and milk kind) with peanut butter andd some recipes use butter, too)<br />4) ~<a class="u" href="http://procrastinatorsclub.deviantart.com/">ProcrastinatorsClub</a> will no longer be procrastinated on! (as much!)<br /><br /><br /><br />oh, but real life now: even though I feel better, I'm still sick. going to get a mask so that I don't get sick again. I'm estimating that ~100 kids are NOT sick at my school.<br />200+ kids are out from the  middle school, 300+ kids are out from the high school. the rest who are sick can't miss because they'll get too far behind.<br />and I wouldn't be surprised if it is swine flu.  like seriously. <br />OMG I JUST REALIZED THAT I'VE BEEN SICK FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS WITH TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. >< once just a cold, then whatever I have now.<br /><br />fundraising like a madman for san fransisco.<br />DONATIONS ARE WELCOME. I DON'T CARE HOW, IF YOU'RE WILLING, WE'LL FIND A WAY. AND TO GET YOU YOUR THANK YOU GIFTS(card and pic).<br />35$ is recommended, but I'll take anywhere from as little as $5 to the entire cost of the trip, $570. Although i doubt anyone will give me that much. BUT I'LL TOTALLY TAKE IT.<br />we'll have other fundraisers and stuff, too. so if you live in my area, ask me about papa murphy's cards.<br /><br />uhhhhh... I dunno what else. Connections essays have slowed down a little. probably only because of the PSAT.<br />which by the way, I took today. Did anyone else take it? What did you think about it? i had to skip 3 of the math questions, i didn't have time. and on the self-answer(or whatever they're called) i sskipped one, too. well, actually, i just made up a number and guessed.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

This event shoud have, at the time, seemed to be a trying and challenging experience, but instead of resulting in defeat or disgrace, you foind the event to be a positive experience, helping you to understand a valuable lesson.<br />-300-500 words<br />-based on a real event<br />-Like Franklin's autobiography, should show self-deprecation and self-improvement<br />-look for humorous events in your life<br />-should end with a quote or maxim"<br />i hate writing about myself. I really do. ><<br />it's not that my life isn't interesting, it's that i don't really want to write about it because I don't think it's interesting. either that or i don't want to write it down and make it sound lame.

                <description><![CDATA[ stole from <a href="http://wolfdoom.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/o/wolfdoom.gif?1" alt=":iconwolfdoom:" title="wolfdoom"/></a> <br /><br />- A very simple meme, post ten pet peeves and explain why they bug you.<br />- They don't have to be in any order.<br /><br />1. Whiny pre-teens/high schoolers.<br /> No seriously. "Whhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyy?" over and over and over again in your annoying whiny voice isn't going to get you much more than i already told. except for maybe "Shut the F up and go away." Unfortunetley, you're related to me so i can't say that to you.<br /><br />2. 5 year olds that tell me what to do.<br /> "No, Ra! You do it like THIS. Now GET OUT!" I swear i want to kill whoever taught that kid that.<br /><br />3. Socks with Sandles.<br /> Just... Bleah.<br /><br />4. Currently... Twilight.<br /> Its fans, its writer.<br />and to go along with that, anything popular that people feel like whining about.<br /><br />5. Freshman.<br /> Seriously guys, your "I'm so cool, I'm in high school, oh, I'm so much cooler than you" attitude isn't going to get you anywhere. I don't care if you're popular and I'm not- I'm an efing junior, and you're still a dumbass.<br /><br />6. 20- and 30-year olds that sound worse than the freshman mentioned above.<br /><br />7. Thick-headed idiots.<br /> To go along with the previous 2 categories.<br /><br />8. Money.<br /> It's a piece of paper, yet somehow, it makes the world go 'round. Apparently anyway. At least, that's what I hear from the economists.<br /><br />9. Leaving time on the microwave.<br /> Ok, i KNOW I'm not the only who's annoyed by this.<br /><br />10. Jocks.<br /> 'Nough said.<br /><br />10a. and basically anyone in general who doesn't appreciate the arts. <br />all of our school funding goes to the football team. we have the best football stadium in the stat, quite possibly the country. and yet, we also have a struggling art, shop, band, and english programs that are barely getting enough funding to keep them alive.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Bleah. They're next week.<br />1st: math test. probably scantron.<br />2nd: not a final, but i don't know what we're doing, she's being elusive.<br />3rd: speed dating. fuuuun. /sarcasm<br />4th: 20 Q final, then Apples to Apples<br />5: probably a quick final, then cashflow or apples to apples<br />6: rock band and apples to apples<br />7: impromptu speech<br /><br />but after that... NO MORE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />ugh. graduation was friday. i was happy for meh senior friends, but sad 'cause they're all graduating and there's only going to be 5 fun people left in anime club. i'm going to miss kim. she's moving to portland! >< well, hopefully i can make it to kumori-con with everyone else who's going.<br /><br />i have summer homework for connections next year. it's AP US history and Honors english 3. but at least i get college credit. bleah. i suck at history. and i need to find some good us historical fiction. or biographies on US writers... or collections by US authors... or fiction by US authors...  i think anyway...my list says The scarlet Letter, Undaunted courage, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Red Badge of Courage, Cold Mountain, My Antonia, The Jungle, All Quiet on the Western Front, Hiroshima, Snow Falling on Cedars. I've circled All Quiet on the Western Front and Snow Falling on Cedars. But I'm definitely open to suggestions and will take any and all. but do know that i prefer fiction and don't particularly like anything from the civil war, pioneer stories, Lewis&Clark stories, American Girl type stories. I also don't generally read non-fiction(especially about US history) but if it's good i'll look at it. i really like WWI and II stories though. and i also like reading things from peoples view OTHER than americans.<br /><br />that was an overly long paragraph that no one probably cares about.<br /><br />in other news:<br />new ID and icon coming soon. w00t! Shall there be squee?<br />just have to get the drawing scanned in and color it. i also have some cool little sketches to upload, and what i've done in art in pottery. i have a wheel-thrown pot, a coil pot, a slab pot and a pinch pot. actually 2 pinch pots.<br />my wheel thrown pot is cute but small, and crudely shaped.<br />my coil pot is crap.<br />my slab pot is REALLY nice and i hope it turns out well after it's glaze firing. Thank you erika <3<br />my one pinch pot is an unintentional zombie whistle. the zombie part was intentional, the whistle part, no. but it sounds cool <3 i was going to make an ocarina, but i didn't have time, or all of the directions.<br />my other pinch pot is a diamond-cup thing.<br />but i like all of them except my coil.<br /><br />hmmm.... i think that's it, but i go to peru in 10 days!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

WE ONLY HAVE 3 WEEKS LEFT! less than in fact. 4 days next week, 5 the week after and 3 the week after that. 12 days ^^' what really sucks though, is that if i'm sick as long as some of the other people who've had this, i'll miss graduation, most of pottery, ALL of Of Mice and Men, and whatever the heck else my teachers feel like throwing at us.<br /><br />ugh. sorry for not having any art up. i'll upload some of what i did for my micro project to tide you over until i get my scanner working properly. because right now it's not even in the same room as my comp.<br /><br />well anyway... i'm going to go TRY to eat something.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ no, really, they are. try it sometime.<br /><br />anyway... finishing my micro project... then going to bed. forgot what else i was going to say ^^'<br />and sorry for spamming all of your guys' inboxes. you'll probably get one more update from me tonight when i remember what i was going to type.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />bulk e-mail. if anyone doesn't know what this is: it's a message you send to every e-mail address you can find. This one happened to say "message to everyone:i like cake"<br />AND THEN PEOPLE REPLIED TO IT.<br />i would finish this- but i don't think you want to hear my rant about e-mail crap. <br /><br />i like pottery <3 <br /><br />but i suck at the wheel. anyone have any tips? it's a lot harder than it looks. i managed to get it centered a few times but failed after that. i think my clay was too wet before i put it on the wheel.<br /><br />we have to do 3 pots: pinch, coil and slab.<br /><br />my pinch pot is a zombie figurine <3 i'm trying to make it stand. it's hard. i'm attempting to make the top lighter by hollowing it out. it's insanely hard... but i'm getting there! i think i'm going to make a slab pot like lagatuttas.  the one with the wave design. and i'm just going to make a simple little coil pot. 5 coils and a simple lid.<br /><br />yeah, well that's it now ^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ no, seriously, WHAT'S WITH THE CHARACTER LIMIT?<br />that bugs me, this is like... the third time that i've had to rewrite my title so it's fits.<br />anyway...<br /><br />i've been wanting to do one of these forever... just never got around to it lol. ^^'<br />well anyway... stolen from <a href="http://wolfdoom.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/w/o/wolfdoom.gif" alt=":iconwolfdoom:" title="wolfdoom"/></a><br /><br />1. Michiyo (regular OC)<br />2. Niyoshi (Michi's sister)<br />3. Mr. Teacher (The Adventures of Mr. Teacher and his class)<br />4. Crazy Spazz Cat (Mr. Teacher's cat)<br />5. Miharu (From Dusk)<br />6. Ishikawa (Miharu's brother)<br />7. Kurowa (my OC that was for ~<a class="u" href="http://yamabushi.deviantart.com/">Yamabushi</a>'s contest)<br />8. Anshel (also from dusk)<br />9. Takuwa (Kurowa's youngest brother)<br />10. Rami (Miharu's BF)<br />11. Lear (heh... )<br />12. Ray Ludford (From Pop! Goes the Weasel)<br /><br /><br />1 - Who would make a better college professor, 6 [Ishikawa] or 11 [Lear]? What subjects would they teach?<br />*bursts out laughing* oh my gosh... i'm going to have to go with ishi lol.<br /><br /><br />2 - Do you think 2 [Niyoshi] is hot? How hot?<br />this question is a little awkward... so i'm going to have to say no...<br /><br /><br />3 - 12 [Ray Ludford] sends 8 [Anshel] on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?<br />Ray wants Anshel to go the killer thing with her. Ummm... No... although Anshel would be good at it, she'd only do it if it was her idea and she was ontrolling the scenario. so no.<br /><br /><br />4 - What is or would be 9's [] favorite book?<br />something... kidsy... like a collection of fairy tales or something. a close second would be the adventures of huckleberry fin... i think anyway...<br /><br /><br />5 - Would it make more sense for 2 [Niyoshi] to swear loyalty to 6 [Ishikawa], or the other way around?<br />No. Either way. Miyoshi is too independant, and Ishikawa is too clingy and needy. Unless Michi or Anshel forced them into it, i don't see it happening.<br /><br />6 - For some reason, 5 [Miharu] is looking for a roommate. Should he/she share a studio apartment with 9 [Takuwa] or with 10 [Rami]?<br />Rami. He was her boyfriend, afterall.<br /><br />7 - 2 [Niyoshi], 7 [Kurowa] and 12 [Ray Ludford] have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?<br />i like this question <3 <br />Ray basically decides to go somewhere, Niyoshi suggests somewhere better, they end up going somewhere completely different at Ray's "suggestion" <br />They go and they talk about who's idea would have been better. Niyoshi decides to leave because she doesn't like conflict and Kurowa just sits in a corner and watches it all.<br /><br /><br />8 - 3 [CST] challenges 10 [Rami] to a duel. What happens?<br />Mr. Teacher runs around throwing rulers at RAmi and Rami is just like "WTF?!?"<br /><br /><br /><br />9 - If 1 [Michiyo] stole 8's [Anshel] most precious possession, how would s/he get it back?<br />They'd both be screwed.<br /><br /><br />10 - Suggest a title for a story in which 7 [Kurowa] and 12 [Ray Ludford] both attain what they most desire.<br />The Alleyways of Yamabushi- JUST like Yamabushi except you'd have to throw in a bunch of alleyway killers and somehow a president 0.0<br /><br /><br />11 - What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 [CSC] and 1 [Michioy] to work together?<br />Mr. Teacher.<br /><br /><br />12 - If 7 [Kurowa] visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?<br />I go out, Kurowa stay in.<br /><br />13 - If you could command 3 [CST] to perform any one task or service <br />be my teacher...<br /><br /><br />14 - Does anyone on your friends list write or draw pictures of 11 [Lear]?<br />Mai.. maybe... she's the only one who actually knows who lear is soooo...<br /><br /><br />15 - If 2 [Niyoshi] had to choose sides between 4 [CSC] and 5 [Miharu], which would it be?<br />CSC.<br /><br />16 - What might 10 [Rami] shout while charging into battle?<br />What the hell?!? since he's just a normal human and all...<br /><br />17 - If you chose a song to represent 8 [Anshel], which song would you choose?<br />Something popular. modern pop. as in... releasesd this past year. and is very preppy, obnoxious and annoying.<br /><br /><br />18 - 1 [Michiyo], 6 [Ishikawa], and 12 [Ray Ludford] are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?<br />Either Michi or Ray. Ishikawa would give it up for the girls to decide... there would be blood... and water... so by the time one of them got a chance to eat it, it'd probably be ruined anyway...<br /><br /><br />19 - What might be a good pick-up line for 2 [Niyoshi] to use on 10 [Rami]?<br />Whanna escape this crazy world with me?<br />(HOMG i can't stop laughing <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" heig... ]]></description>

OH MY GOSH WHERE THE HECK DID MY VACATION GO?!?<br /><br />...anyway... my computer clocks messed up. i changed it in BIOS and everything... and it's still messed up.<br />and i'm tired. and my cousin is visiting. it's rather annoying because i get to take care of him *insert witty, sarcastic comment here*<br />i've started drawing again... ^^'<br />i don't know if i'll get anything posted soon though. i still haven't gotten my scanner hooked up ^^'<br /><br />well michi, apparently you haven't done ANYTHING over your break, what the heck did you do?!?<br />sleep, eat, write, RP, read.

WHICH I AM HIGHLY EXCITED FOR.<br /><br />oh, but i have been writing. i have a couple of things i need to type up and get done, not to mention Kurowa's character sheet <.<<br /><br />BUT YES IT'S SPRING BREAK! i'm going to give my kitten a bath... tomorrow ><' this should be interesting o.o<br />i've also been roleplaying a lot.<br /><br />AND MY UNCLE IS MOVED IN TO HIS NEW PLACE SO I GET THE COMPUTER ROOM BACK! w00t! which also means video games and TV. XDD<br /><br />but yeah... plenty of things to do, plenty of time, just no motivation.<br /><br />and a thing that you would think I wouldn't be excited about, but really, it's the only thing like this that i actually AM excited about: I GOT NEW JEANS. and just in time too. The two pairs i  have now are starting to fall apart >< but yeah, we went to Fred Meyer's and got 2 pairs for 15$ each(not bad, considering that they're originally 40$ jeans) and went to the good will and got two pairs there for 6$.<br /><br />ummm... what else is new?<br />school this term is going to be fun lol. <br />maria and i are learning In The Hall of the Mountain King. That's gonna be fun.<br />oh... IDK what else.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ OK. rant first.<br /><br />you know what really bugs me about high school. COLLEGE. how does this make sence? in lots of ways.<br />1. high school is supposed to prepare you for college.<br />2. college recruiters SWARM high schools like bees. or, more accurately, hornets. or rats. or something  else REALLY ANNOYING AND ALL OVER THE PLACE.<br /><br />recently i came accross this website zinch- <a href="http://www.zinch.com/Anonymous/StudentRegister.aspx?affid=575001">[link]</a> it's a great site, really you should go check it out if you're considering college. but there are a lot of colleges that just REALLY want you to go to there school. a little too much in fact. take the Milwaukie(sp?) school of engineering for example. i have AT LEAST FIVE messages from them. first off, it's an engineering school. none of my friends can picture me as an engineer, much less myself. second of all, it's in Wisconsin. i complain about it being cold HERE. add snow(it does snow in WI right?) colder temps, and it being that way 50% of the time i'll be there, now add me into the mix. does a picture of a freezing cold girl with a million coats spring up? or is it not possible? if the answer to either of those questions is yes, you obviously don't know me that well.<br />and who the heck do I know in wisconson?<br />but there are SO persistent.they want me to go study business. yeah. riiiiigggghhht...<br />another VERY persistant college is Lawerance Tech. in MICHIGAN.<br />they want me to study transport design. a subject i know NOTHING about. and care little. all i care about transportation is that it works.<br />oh, and they want m to be a video game designer.<br />Kettering University says i'm eligible for there academic merit scholarship for a whopping $60,000. but i have to decide to go to there school first. i michigan.<br />oh, can't forget prescott college. for the liberal arts.<br />in arizona.<br />can you picture me in biological science? College of the Atlantic can!<br />And you know. Rocky Mountain College of art and design sounds greeeeaaat. except that it's in Denver Colorado.<br />oh, and Chadron State university offers in-state tuition- in Nebraska.<br />HELLO! DID YOU NOT LOOK AT MY PROFILE AT ALL??? I LIVE IN OREGON!<br />oh, and there's always Treveca Nazarene University, in Nashville.<br />... i'd probably get kicked out. i'm not even considering a religion based college. too conservative and closed minded.<br />So, for comparison...<br />the colleges(and my status) that are interested in me:<br />Atlantic, College of the  Not interested<br />Maine, University of, Machias Not interested<br />Yale University Not interested<br />California State University -- East Bay Excited to learn more<br />Chadron State College Not interested<br />Academy of Art University Unsure - Need more information<br />Prescott College Not interested<br />Missouri University of Science and Technology Not interested<br />Mount Mary College Not interested<br />Lawrence Technological University Not interested<br />San Diego State University Unsure - Need more information<br />Eastern Michigan University Not interested<br />Mills College Unsure - Need more information<br />St. John's College Not interested<br />Kettering University Not interested<br />Trevecca Nazarene University Not interested<br />Milwaukee School of Engineering Not interested<br />John Brown University Not interested<br />O'More College of Design Not interested<br />Shimer College Not interested<br />Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design Not interested<br /><br />and the colleges i'm interested in:<br />California State University -- East Bay  Excited to learn more<br />Academy of Art University Unsure - Need more information<br />California, University of, Berkeley Going to apply<br />The Art Institute of California - Los Angeles Excited to learn more<br />EXACTLY 4.<br />and in order:<br />Berkely<br />Art institute of San Fransisco(it says LA but i figure it's close enough)<br />CSU-EB(formerly CSUH)<br />and last, Academy of Art University. which sounded nice, but i've never heard of them, so i'm not sure.<br /><br />note one thing about ALL the colleges that i'm even remotely interested in. THEY ARE ALL IN CALIFORNIA. and, to get even deeper. most of them are in the San Fransisco Bay Area.<br /><br />well, that's my rant for now.<br /><br /><b>UPDATES</b>:<br />we got the place we wanted. note me if you want my new address, which will be officially changed on the 7th of Feb.<br />my Cell number should stay the same for about another year.<br />home number will change though... again... <br />working on a drawing of michi in a school uniform(lol)<br />and 2 NEW CHARACTER DESIGNS.<br />each are specific to something though. <br />it's 11:30 and i'm sick, so i'm going to go to bed.<br /><br />COMPLETE DETAILED UPDATES:<br />projects:<br />cosplay-see below<br />100 themes-<br />OC ref sheet-<br />need updated(started working on them-barely)<br />2 new charri... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ GUH. my stupid computer keeps kicking me offline. i can hardly stay connected to the internet for 5 FREAKING MINUTES. it USUALLY quickly connects back, which is fine for browsing web pages, but when you're playing WoW it doesn't work as well....<br />or anything requiring a CONSTANT and a STABLE internet connection. ><<br /><br />BUT now to the POINT of this journal(aside from the rant)...<br />I'M MOVING... again...<br />but it's in town, within walking distance of the school...<br />we have 3 nice places picked out so far. they're all small, but nice. we're going to go see the insides either tomorrow or tuesday after school.<br />soooooooooo, yeah...<br />another new phone number(proly2) and another new address... yaaaaay... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sarcasticclap.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":sarcasticclap:" title="Oh yeah. Yay. Good for you." /><br />but all 3 places are closer to the school(and the mall, and the store and basically anywhere worth going...)<br />so yeah...<br /><b>UPDATE</b> we went and looked at the houses today.we picked one and are going to submit our application. the place we're renting now is going to be inspected(which means that i have to clean my room ^^&#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> next week, and if it passes we're going to get the place! it's about half the size of the house we're living in now, but that's ok. and it has a HUGE garage/covered patio thing. and it has 3 bedrooms. soooo... guess what... i need people to help me pack... and if anyone's parents have trucks or vans we can DEFINITELY use those. we don't have too much large furniture, but we still can't take it all in the car. and the more people and larger vehicles we can get, the less trips we have to make back and forth, the better. we have to be out of the house that we live in now by feb. 18. <br />i get the only carpeted bedroom. <3 yay. the small bedroom is going to be a media room, with an HDTV(to be gotten later) and my wii, GC and N64 will be hooked up to it. and it'll have surround sound(which we already have) and a DVD player. and a futon. so everyone doesn't have to sleep on my floor! and in my room, i'm just going to have my bed, dresser and a TV stand. because i don't care what my grandma says, i'm having at least a TV in my room. and if they'll fit(doubt they will) our computers. it's a nice sea foam green color lol. just to make up for us losing our wonderful robin eggs blue color lol. i swear my grandma is attracted to wierd colored houses... oh, and did i mention there's shed in the back too? well yeah, that's all i have to say for now...<br />oh, and there's 3 cables in my room for TV lol. why, i'm not sure, but they're there.<br /><b>UPDATE UPDATE</b> i like the old journal interface better. but meh. to the update...<br />anyone want to help me clean and pack for 2 hours or so saturday? usually if you find something i don't want, you get to keep it. (bribes lol) the only stuff that really need packed on sat are clothes i don't wear at this time of the year, most of the junk on my stand(that thing you almost run into if you're not paying attention when you first walk into my room) knick-knacks and posters. my computers, TV and game systems aren't going to be packed. and even if they were, i wouldn't let any one else do them. and it'd just be plain fun XD the people who are going to inspect the house don't come until monday. so then we'll know exactly when and where we're moving. and if anyone has a truck or van they can move furniture in, you're help would be much appreciated on the 7th. we have 2 beds, 2 dressers, an entertainment system, 2 desks, and other stuff that we can't move in our car. SO. this weekend and the 7th. please?<br /><br />oh, and i'm going to get in my cosplay stuff that i have so far for dei-chan and upload a pic to show you guys ^^<br /><br /><b>Shameless Features:</b><br />want your name/work/website here? ask!<br />sorry guys, no sub=no thumbs.<br />-will update when i have time-<br /><a href="http://dragonbladerx.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/r/dragonbladerx.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondragonbladerx:" title="dragonbladerx"/></a> <a href="http://dragonbladerx.deviantart.com/art/Sin-Struck-the-Angel-99950226">[link]</a> <a href="http://dragonbladerx.deviantart.com/art/The-Spirit-of-Lost-Magic-102621697">[link]</a>  <a href="http://dragonbladerx.deviantart.com/art/Rawr-100780721">[link]</a>  <a href="http://dragonbladerx.deviantart.com/art/Where-s-my-stuff-98631301">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://nigai.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/i/nigai.jpg?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnigai:" title="nigai"/></a> <a href="http://nigai.deviantart.com/art/a-reflection-of-self-79399976">[link]</a>  <a href="http://nigai.deviantart.com/art/Brilliance-99323309">[link]</a>  <a h... ]]></description>
