                <description><![CDATA[ I finished Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.  Now I'm working on the Spearhead expansion pack for it, and hoping for Halo for Christmas (yeah right.  eheh!).  >3<br /><br />Also I'm excited for the 26th Christmas sales.  I got some giftcards/money from the family for my birthday, and I'm probably going to pierce my ears once there.  I plan to get up at 4:00 am with some friends for sales.  I'm crazy: fact.  xD<br /><br />Also, we have glorious snow and it keeps streaming down!  It's quite lovely.  :3  And I took the dogs to a local dog washing place.  They have tubs, grooming supplies, stands and air dryers, so I took Lhotse and Fret and washed them up.  Now they're all pretty for Winter!  Hehe.  <br /><br />Also, "Christmas" gifts are now turned in to "Holiday" gifts, since I'm hoping to buy a tablet on Christmas (or after for sales) and would love to use that to draw gifts instead of using the pen tool.  Is it alright if you all wait?  :]  <br /><br />So, what's everyone been up to this holiday season?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well.  Not really.  Just here to write about what's been up and why I posted like, one art piece in a month.  xD<br /><br />Okay, so I almost have enough money to buy myself a tablet.  Nothing too serious.  Maybe an old Intuos.  I might have enough money by my birthday (December 11th), but since I just spent my last dime on a point and shoot camera, it will probably be closer to Christmas.  Surprisingly, my Dad's okay with it.  Maybe because I offered to draw for his car website, but usually he's not very supportive of me going online and drawing for other random users.  He's just a bit paranoid about safety, I guess.  Hehe.  <br /><br />So, that's good news.  Another good thing is I FINALLY passed this one level on Medal of Honor (damn snipers, I finally got you!).  It took me a couple months to actually be skilled enough to run, duck and simultaneously snipe germans.  But I did it!  And I dug out a game a got a while ago called Civilization 4.  It's really addictive.  Right now I'm the lead ruler.  EVERYONE is intimidated by my civ.  Haha.  >D<br /><br />And I've also been busy in my social life.  Throwing surprise parties and just generally getting in to trouble- Thanksgiving Weekend turned out to be a great week for me.  Really busy, but also relaxing.  Which is something new for me.  Usually life at home is pretty stressing.  xD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The time when school is off, stress level is low.  You can stay up until midnight, get up when you want.  I'm sure we all enjoyed the much needed break to reorganize ourselves for the rest of the week.<br /><br />But we should also take the time to recognize this holiday, in remembrance of all soldiers and veterans, to defend our country.  Take pity on wars they were sent through that could've been avoided, but also be grateful you weren't sent out there.  That we are safe, protected.  We have a strong force, some died for us, to make this country protected.  We are Americans.  United we stand.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>We were supposed to lose internet like a month ago... and now it decides that right now, it's going to take the internet away (we were apparently using someone else's ohohoho).  <br /><br />This is probably one of the most important weeks to be online.  Halloween gifts HELLO?!  u__u<br /><br />But... since that's not likely to happen, all your presents will probably be late.  I'm lucky if this journal even posts right now because we just got a sputter of life and it usually deflates in 5 minutes once the neighbors realize their internet's being used.  e____e<br /><br />I'm sorry, guys!  I don't hate you!  I'll be gone for who knows how long.  x____x</sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys.  Usually I like to post journals as a way of self-expression I guess.  Or maybe just to state my opinion, and leave you guys thinking about something.  But this is not one of those journals.  This is the dreaded excuse journal!  D8<br /><br />I'm sorry I haven't been commenting on everyone's artwork.  I'm so busy, and you crazy hooligans make art way too fast for ol' Dyr!  >o  Maybe I'll find some time Saturday morning.  But I'll let you know that you'll be getting a lot of late comments.  xD  <br /><br />I think I'm quite tired, to be honest.  e_______e  It's only 9 and I'm flat out exhausted.  Stress, maybe?  Anyway, I did my usual exercise and run and such today (like I do every other day), and that seems to help my mood dramatically.  Just being outdoors, y'know?  And I'm going dress shopping sunday.  Seeing as the only gown that fits is something I wore to a funeral and... a black dress is not appropriate for a black tie ball (I'm sure it's acceptable... I just like to be in colors).  Anyone know of any store brands with crazy cheap prices?  Macy's and JC Penny's are always having sales.  I've kind of been out of contact with everyone.  So... what's up?  What's the dish on that new sexy hall monitor?  <br /><br />Love you guys!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><a href="http://dyrn00b.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/y/dyrn00b.png?2" alt=":icondyrn00b:" title="dyrn00b"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub><b>Foreword:</b><br />I suppose you've noticed that this journal is no longer shown on my front page.  That's because I post a lot of sometimes rather personal thoughts on subjects, and I don't necessarily want it to be the first thing everyone sees.  I hope to make myself a DevID sometime, but for the moment I have other plans for other people art wise.  x3<br /><br />Anyway.  If you do indeed enjoy reading my journals, maybe for thoughts you've never read before, a chuckle at my own ideas, or even to see what "the bastard writes next!"  Whatever the reason, if you're not a watcher, just a creeper who views my page everyday, you can click the "Journal" button on the far right in the tool bar.  Self explanatory, right?  I feel like explaining the simplest things today, for some reason.  .____.<br /><br />--<br />I get the Oprah magazine.  It's true, I do.  I enjoy reading it.  Oprah gives me a lot of different topics to think about, and ways to view life.  She writes a column each issue, on her view of one different thing in the world.  It opens up your eyes.  <br /><br />Now, I tend to read this late at night.  Maybe it's more symbolic or emotional or whatever, but I read them right before I go to bed.  Two days ago, I started tearing out pages from the magazine that I liked, in hopes of remembering them in the morning.  So last night, I looked under my pillow to see what I have saved.  One, was an article/advertisement for the Breast Cancer 60 mile walk.  It sounds so exciting, I definitely want to give it a try!  Maybe run 6 miles and walk the rest of the uh... 54?  xDD  Anyway, it's only about an hour plane ride away, down in Washington D.C.  So I'ma ask my dad if I can go.  Seeing pictures from last year's walk, it looks like a wonderful experience.<br /><br />The next article took me a while to figure out why I ripped it.  It was an advice column from Dr. Phil, and the article was about a women who had no children, wanted them, but is too old now and wouldn't be able to care for them.  She often gets barrated for not having them, and about how she can't understand political issues to the full extent of "thinking about the future".  Crap, of course.  But still, I didn't really know why I was sharing this with you guys.<br /><br />Then I read Phil's reply.  And with that I bid you farewell, until my next journal entry.<br /><br />"When you were growing up, you were probably told that if someone said something mean to you, you should 'consider the source', and then you might not be as bothered or hurt.  It's been decades since your schoolyard days, but that's exactly what I'm telling you now.  Thbe world is full of self-important people, and it sounds like she fits the bill.  Any 'friend' that would make that kind of comment is not much of a friend, so you need to stand up for yourself and let her know how asinine that remark was.  <br /><br />But this isn't just about confrontation.  The less secure you are, the more sensitive you'll be to what other people tell you about yourself.  You need to achieve peace with yourself so someone else can't redefine or threaten you.  Mourn the children you never had, and be your own best friend.  I phrase it that way because if somebody had made the same comment to your best friend, you'd probably be horrified that a person could be ignorant enough to even say such a thing.   you should afford yourself at least the same courtesy."<br /><br />-- Dr. Phil<br /><br /></sub> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub><br /><b>1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4.</b><br />"The preceding examples illustrate the fact that in simplifying numerical expressions which contain powers, we first evaluate the powers and then follow the usual order for other operations." (Yay for algebra textbooks!  8D)<br /><br /><b>2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you reach?</b><br />My lamp.  :3<br /><br /><b>3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?</b><br />GLEE.  8D<br /><br /><b>4. Without looking, guess what time it is:</b><br />Uhh... 3:05?  <br /><br /><b>5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?</b><br />2:59 PM.  I was close!  ^^<br /><br /><b>6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?</b><br />Birds outside.<br /><br /><b>7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?</b><br />Went out to run a couple miles.  x3<br /><br /><b>8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at?</b><br />My dogs.  C:<br /><br /><b>9. What are you wearing?</b><br />Collared shirt, layered with cami's, bootcut jeans and flats.  <br /><br /><b>10. Did you dream last night?</b><br />I never remember my dreams.<br /><br /><b>11. When did you last laugh?</b><br />When I was leaving the school with friends and we brought up an inside joke.  xD<br /><br /><b>12. What are on the walls of the room you are in?</b><br />A painting a great artist gave us back in Florida, a bookcase, pictures resembling our family tree, windows, and um, a light switch.  83<br /><br /><b>13. Seen anything weird lately?</b><br />On DA, yes.  Although saying it publicly could cause some issues.  >><br /><br /><b>14. What do you think of this quiz?</b><br />I like it!  Very unique.  ^^<br /><br /><b>15. What is the last film you saw?</b><br />The Soloist (and YES it was even BETTER than the reviews < 33)<br /><br /><b>16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?</b><br />Probably a pool.  And save the rest.  x3<br /><br /><b>18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?</b><br />Educate all human beings up until graduate school.  Properly.  Not show videos of the media on Fox or something, but look at president's speeches and causes and what they plan to do.  You can't pick up everything you hear on the news.  You need to do the research yourself.  Hopefully this will decrease the number of idiots I see walking around.  >><br /><br /><b>19. Do you like to dance?</b><br />HELLYES!  8D<br /><br /><b>20. George Bush:</b><br />I guess I can sort of see how people would elect him the first time, but the reelection?  How stupid are we?<br /><br /><b>21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?</b><br />Joyce.<br /><br /><b>22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?</b><br />Neil.<br /><br /><b>23. Would you ever consider living abroad?</b><br />I...uh... am.  haha.  We moved to america.  xD  But I'm definitely interested in studying abroad in Spain for 2 years of college.  C:<br /><br /><b>24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?</b><br />I'm not really sure what I believe, regardless of if there is a "pearly gates".  ^^</sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The old journal being displayed each time someone looked at my DA was... bothering me.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /><br /><br />So I replaced it with a new one.  I've always liked this journal skin.  It's just... paper.  Very bland and simple.  I like it.  <br /><br />In other news, my sub will be going away in a month.  Around the same time I'll be going away.  There is no connection!  xD  We're just losing internet for a couple weeks, just so we can pay the mortgage a lil' longer, and then we'll pay for "la red" again.  Things have been going much better than I expected.  I still miss those city basketball games where you just showed up at like 5 and played until dark.  I miss the chained hoops, the sound it made as the ball gently glided through, I miss the players, and the older high schoolers with their deep husky voices and perverted jokes.  But here is better, I guess.  I was lucky I wasn't gunned down back there, now reading the papers.  That seems to be all that's in the news.  One or two I knew but never talked to, others never heard of.  It really was a safe neighborhood, as long as you had friends with those higher up.  As long as you just agree with those older than you and don't argue about anything, you're fine (unless it's dangerous, then you run).  ... I don't know.  I just miss it.  :C <br /><br />But the 'burbs are safer.  It's so weird.  People smiling at you all the time, us having a house that's freakin' huge, it smelling like roses everywhere.  I can actually run outside around neighborhoods, and I don't have to pay attention to who lives where and where I should avoid.  So I guess you have more freedom in this safe place.  But I still don't feel quite settled.  It's weird.  And annoying.  And nerve racking.  e____e  And there's no dog park here, which I find quite stupid.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I enjoy playing French Horn much better, and I really want to get more advanced in the Horn than being crappy at both instruments.  Which gives me so much more free time.

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>Because they're always fun to read, right?  <br /><br />Well.  2nd day of school, I have so much crap to do and they even haven't started giving out homework in full kaboom yet.  I seriously have half an hour to work on art, and it usually takes me 7 hours per art piece.  That being said, commissions are slow (I'm closing them down with 5 more to go), art trades will come AFTER commissions (sorry guys... <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/mad.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":x" title=":x (Mad)" />), and then maybe I can grasp my footing again.  <br /><br />The main reason is I need to focus on my classes.  All of which are advanced placement.  But the main one I'm worried about is the AP Honors Earth Science (I know, you'd think it'd be easy... I don't know yet.  We haven't really started learning anything.).   You need to maintain a 95% (high A) average to even be <b>able</b> to take the <b>regions exam</b>.  Upon that, you <b>need to do even better on that</b> if you'll even <b>be considered</b> next year's AP Honors Biology (which I really need to get in to this college I want).  The stupid thing is, because they need to get ready to see who can even take the region's exams, they judge by your first semester.  So even if you pull through in the 2nd semester, if you did crappy in the first, they won't accept you.  And apparently this teacher gives outrageous tests that are completely different wordings than her quizzes (ie; not out of the textbook).  Let me give it to you straight.  She told us SOPHOMORES in HIGHSCHOOL had trouble keeping up an average of 85%, let alone the average needed here.  I'm only in freakin' 8th grade.  <br /><br />... Yeah.  I need time to study.  Majorly.  That class is most important to me, even though I'm not interested in a science field (it'd look good on the application for colleges).  I don't know, I guess I'm majorly overwhelmed, and feel guilty you guys are the ones who are being let down.  But education is very important to me, more than anything else.  I can't give that up.  < 333<br /><br />- Dyr<br /><br /><b>Items I Still Will (eventually) Complete:</b><br />- Rotor's Charity Meme<br />- Art Trade With Kindle<br />- Pix's Handwriting Meme<br />- Art Trade with Magenta P<br /></sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So we had our annual horror movie night with my friends yesterday.  We watched the Blaire Witch Project.  I guess I'm too late in generation to find it scary.  Apparently it was a hit, but you really have to take the movie seriously to get scared.  I tried.  I really did.  But in the end I was just disappointed.  I guess that's because horror has changed slightly in the past couple of years?  <br /><br />We also watched The Ring.  I'm a big fan of that.  It was such a great twist in the end.  <br /><br /><b>--- --- ---Spoilers.  Spoilers.  Spoilers. --- --- ---</b><br /><br />It was kind of funny, because near the end where Rachel went down in the well, and found the girl's body, and how she "set her free" leaving her body to decay, my friends and I sat up.  Liking the "ending" as we thought.  Where she was driving back, talking about children.  How they express their feelings in talking, drawing, etc.  How that poor girl just wanted to be heard.  We smiled at each other.  It was a nice ending to the movie.  Sort of cheesy I was thinking, but nice.  <br /><br />I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the part where Rachel talked to her son (Ayden).  xD!  How she's like, "We're safe now, honey.  She's not going to bother us anymore.  I set her free.  She's in peace now."<br /><br />And Ayden's all wide-eyed looking at her like a crazy person.  And this is my favorite line.  He says:<br /><br />"You weren't supposed to do that, Rachel.  She's not going to leave us alone.  She never sleeps."<br /><br />Gave me chills.  o_____o  And the only reason they survived was because they kept making copies of the tape that killed everyone, and sending them to people.  So Samara turned them in to murderers to stay alive.  Ugh.  So scary.  I loved it.  I have to tell you, when I went to the bathroom that night, I refused to look in any mirrors.  Just in case my face was blurry (which meant you would die in 7 days, because you watched the tape).  Oh, haha.  It was a great movie!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So.  We finally gave our landlord a nice talking to, sat down with our lawyer friend, and she found us a house to live in!  Well.  We've been eyeing it for a while, she just made sure our foreclosure would travel smoothly, making sure we got all our benefits.<br /><br />I'm just... OMG I'M SO GLAD!  I thought we would be living on the streets for sure.  Dx<br /><br />The mortgage is much more affordable, it's practically the size of our old house (small, but that's all we need), the dog's get a nice back yard, and the neighborhood is safer.  Love at first site!  8DD<br /><br /><b>Side Note:</b><br />My journals and future journals are mainly about me, my life, and what's going on.  If you find this stuff annoying, I would suggest you unwatch my journals in your devwatch.  You can still catch Kiriban updates and other nonsense by looking at my front page once in a while.  n___n<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>EDIT:</b> 20 pages views away from catching my kiriban!  8D  And as you can tell from my newest update, I will most likely be back after a month or so, so my art won't disappear for quite a while.  C:<br /><br />Okay, so here's the deal.  Dyr might lose internet (since we might lose our house), and if she does, then she won't be on for a long while... shortest amount is 2 months, longest amount is well, 5 years.  Which means you probably won't see any digital art of hers for quite some time.  C:<br /><br />If I DO lose internet, I'll post a journal entry here.  But I could still probably use the library computer for a little, maybe even Kinko's or something for scans.  But I have no idea where I can go to use photoshop...  <br /><br />If you win this Kiriban, you'll get a large shaded artwork by yours truly!  Hehe. <br /><br />Number is... <b>1500</b>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>I feel.  So.  Awful.  <br /><br />But this week especially I'm cramped for time.  I literally have 5 minutes to get on the computer and tell you this.  After this week we're going on a road trip (last minute scheduling, sorry.  D8), to hell knows where and I have no idea how long (possibly all of next week?).  <br /><br />That being said,<br /><br /><b>ART IS ON HOLD.</b><br /><br /><br />Obviously.  <br /><br />I really don't care if you give me hell in your comments about how I should be a responsible artist and all.  Seriously, please don't give me this.  Not right now.  <br /><br />Thanks for your understanding.   Refunds are available at the moment, at least until I finish your art.  Alright.  That's all I have to say.  Moving on.</sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I promised one of my friends I would start them today, since she owns a role playing site that I'm a member of that has them.  Goodness they are difficult!  I guess I'll just draw standing ones until I get used to their proportions (kind of a challenge to find a bear tap-dancing, eh?).  Who knew an animal's legs could be so thick?  Wait until I start drawing elephants.  xD<br /><br />In other news, it's nice weather here again.  Glad for that.  Means I can spend some outdoor time with friends and the dogs.  Maybe get some good pictures in if I can take the dogs down to a nature park later.  I think you've seen my backyard enough.  xP  I also want to try waking up at dawn and taking pictures then (with the dew still there and the morning sunrise).  Someone once told me that was the perfect time to take a picture, because of all the light refractions and such.  I'm really crammed on the weekends, and that's basically the only time I have the chance to do it.  so I'm not sure when, but it'll definitely be in the summer!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Dyr<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>Just because I'm <b>not</b> a fucking breeder <b>doesn't</b> mean I don't know how to train my dogs.  You can't just go and assume that I gave my mal a prong collar means I let her pull on it all the time.  You suggested a regular collar.  News flash for you, idiot.  You're not even supposed to let the dogs pull on the leash all the time anyway!  If you're a fancy little breeder and don't know that, if you can't get that in to your small little head, well... >><br /><br />Just because they're pulling dogs doesn't mean they can't be trained.  I raised two malamutes by myself, and expect more to come.  I'm damn <b>good</b> at training these dogs.  You're only supposed to use the collar for corrections, and most of the time the dogs don't even need a leash.  I just use one anyway to keep up our training.  You're not suppose to let them pull all the time, it tears up their trachea, ESPECIALLY if they have a pronged collar.  Corrections mean a small little tug to keep them back in to position.  The prongs represent a mother grasping her puppies by her mouth (which is what the mother would do if she were raising them).  It corrects them naturally.  I've trained my dogs on an invisible fence.  So what?  It's not a shock torturing system, you idiot!  If you actually knew how to train dogs in the first place, then you'd know that the dogs are trained to the beep, not the shock.  That once they hear the beep, they know to back up because there's a border there that they're not supposed to cross.  The dogs think something magical happens when I take off their electric fence collars, clip on their leashes, and walk out the drive way.  As far as they know, it's the ONLY way they know how to get out.  <br /><br />Because I'm just that good.  I know how to train my dogs.  They're happy.  We run with them for 5 miles everyday, and walk them in the afternoon.  Don't you dare accuse me of abusing my dogs, because they are in no way being hurt by the equipment I use.  The vet and breeders say they're the best behaved, <b>healthy</b> dogs they've ever seen.  You had no clue before now how I trained them, so stop fucking accusing me.  You're just some idiot wannabe who dropped out of highschool to be a breeder.  You might have read a few books and took a few classes, but that's NOTHING if you can't train your dogs.</sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ You work so hard, but your reward is never sweet.  Realizing that, I worked harder on all the things I did:  Sports, School, Art, Time Management, and I discovered something that was lost over the years.  My imagination, and my optimism.  Now, whenever someone asks me how I'm doing, I give them a grin, my eyes lighting up with joy, and say these words which are now, so very true.<br /><br />"I'm great, thanks."<br /><br />Because I am.  It feels good.  I know I'm lucky.  That I don't have it as rough as some of you.  But still.  There's light at the end of the tunnel.  It might be farther down than some, but there always is.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

After that operation, you're messed up.  You get angry real fast, and have less of a heart and understanding.  It's like you just died, and this is someone I want to forget.<br /><br />2.  And to think we only met because I told you your art was good!  The truth was that I thought it was ah-mazing and I felt bad that I couldn't bid 'cause I had no moneys.  xD  You're a real friend.  I really consider you one of my best online.  I can open up and tell you everything, and I don't worry about what you think.  We goof off daily, and have a blast.  I love that.  Try not to let all the media when you're a professional artist go to your head.  But I'll always be your lawyer.  Any day.  CONNECTICUT!<br /><br />3.  We met when I first came to Furry Paws.  Don't you remember?  You offered to sponsor, and I gratefully accepted.  Bud, we haven't talked much.  I really want to talk with you more, 'cause you're freakin awesome!  Hopefully contact by DA'll help.  < 33<br /><br />4.  Damn it.  Apologize already so you'll be included in the family!  Admit your mistakes and wrongs already, we're all bloody sick and tired of it!

Thanks for letting me raise you for a couple years.<br /><br />7.  You're part of our family.  Remember that.  You have your real parents, and then you have your Mom and us.  We love you.<br /><br />8.  And to think this friendship started from a silly little rp central.  You're a FRESHMAN in COLLEGE!  I got it now.  You still phail though.<br /><br />9.  Yeah.

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>1) First list all your OCÂs by first name so we can see your list of all your wonderful OCÂs:</b><br /><br />1. Fang<br />2. Cadence<br />3. Roed<br />4. Scout<br />5. Qynne<br />6. Lhotse<br /><br /><b>2) Who is your favorite OC?</b><br />Scout.  Because.  She's always fun to write about.  She's a bear that was raised by deer, and followed their ways awkwardly.  She's afraid of falcons and any hunting predator including those that are normally included in a bear's diet.  She's spazzy and is afraid of other bears, afraid they'll "hunt" her.  She refuses to eat deer, and is essentially a vegetarian.<br /><br /><b>3) Who is your least favorite?</b><br />Roed.  He won't shut up.  And he's depressed a lot.  e__e<br /><br /><b>4) Who is your most developed?</b><br />Qynne and Scout.  'cause I write about them a lot.<br /><br /><b>5) Which OC would you want to date if they magically came to life?</b><br />The only male character I have is Fang, and I don't like him.  So.  I would probably end up dating Lhotse if she turned in to a guy, because she's gentle and listens.  She's also my dog, so... xD<br /><br /><b>6) How many girl OCs do you have? Boy OCs? It OCs?</b><br />Fang and Roed are males.  All the rest are girls.<br /><br /><b>7) If you were stuck in a burning building what do you think the third OC on your list would do?</b><br />Roed would spazz out and kill himself.  <br /><br /><b>8) Name one thing you regret about one of your OCs.</b><br />Fang hasn't been used for 3 years.  ;3;<br /><br /><b>9) Which of your OCs do you think would make the best father/mother/it parent out of all your OCs and why??</b><br />Lhotse.  She's essentially mothering all of those around her.<br /><br /><b>10) Which of your OCs do you think will most likely be put in jail?</b><br />Fang for doing illegal drugs, Roed for disturbing the peace by his screams and suicide attempts, and Cadence for disrupting the peace and trying to protest.  Cadence is stubborn.  e__e<br /><br /><b>11) The eighth of your OCs was put into the future! What will their job be?!?</b><br />I don't have 8 OC's.  .___.  So Qynne's job would be something involving her athletic ability and physical skill.  Like a mail carrier that can run across the entire world or something.  I have no imagination.<br /><br /><b>12) Name the first OCs catch phrase! (if they donÂt have one just make one up)</b><br />Fang just grunts.  Something like, "Hrr."<br /><br /><b>13) Do all your OCs live together or are they separated?</b><br />Cadence, Scout, and Roed are in the same area, but Scout and Cadence are in different bear family groups while Roed is running away from his tribe.<br /><br /><b>14) Are there any pairings that are in your OC list? (they canÂt be with someone else's OC they have to be in your list) </b><br />Nope.<br /><br /><b>15) Your seventh OC switched bodies with you for a day! How will they react at the end of the day?</b><br />Once again:  I don't have that many.  -fail-  Lhotse would respect my decisions, like always.  She loves me.  ^^<br /><br /><b>16) Your last OC just became a fifteen year old. What do they do?</b><br />Lhotse would cook with her mom... and be a priceless goodie-goodie.<br /><br /><b>17) Now randomly select a person on your OC list. Who was it?</b><br />Roed<br /><br /><b>18) That OC you just chose? Yeah they think they are superman (even if they are a girl) and are on the roof about to jump off.</b><br />Roed would spazz and curse on the way down, and somehow think he was supposed to die.  Some superman. <br /><br /><b>19) Are any of your OCs bored of this meme?</b><br />Fang left, Qynne chased after him, Cadence watched and laughed, Roed thought she was laughing at him so he ran off crying, Lhotse went to comfort him, but Scout's still here because she has no clue what's going on.  So... yes?<br /><br /><b>20) Would your second OC prefer the beach or the mountains?</b><br />Mountains.  She's a polar bear, after all.<br /><br /><b>21) Would your tenth OC battle a shark?</b><br />No 10th OC.<br /><br /><b>22) Which OCs hate each other?</b><br />Everyone loves everyone!  8DD  Except for Fang.  >__><br /><br /><b>23) Which OC did you create first? And last?</b><br />Fang came first, Roed was last.<br /><br /><b>25) And if those two were fighting, who would win?</b><br />Fang no contest.  Roed would just start crying about friendship or something.<br /><br />And since I stole this from <a href="http://hinotebenikaze.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/i/hinotebenikaze.gif?3" alt=":iconhinotebenikaze:" title="hinotebenikaze"/></a>, I don't have to tag anyone.

                <description><![CDATA[ Most watchers don't need to comment.  I had a week of sleepaway I forgot to write in my journal, so that's why I stayed away from DA an extra 7 days or so.  Apologies for totally blanking on my part.<br /><br />But, like I promised Sula, I did indeed draw some stuff!  Mainly things for my sibling or cousins.  They're quick, took me a total of a minute, but that's all the practicing I really do right now.  I'm not an "artist".  Not getting that serious... yet.  x3<br /><br />And I return with 1000 deviations to go through and 250 comments.  Fun stuff.  It'll take me a while. xD!<br /><br />I'm so exhausted.  I've been living off 6 hours of sleep for a month.  Hehe.  I'm weak like that.  Can barely sit through an all nighter!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm heading off soon for a vacation/family reunion that I go to yearly.  Also, my grandfather passed away, so we're attending his memorial service and funeral as well (let's hope I don't break down crying in the middle of my piece!).  So.  That makes like, 3 weeks I'll be away.  I'll be back the 12th, probably, or the 13th of July.  Not sure when, yet, since our flight back might get delayed.<br /><br />So that's why I won't be answering any of your messages or respond to any of your deviations.  I'll have no computer access most likely the whole trip.  I'm leaving the 23rd of June, which is in like, two days.  xD<br /><br />I'll miss you all, and hope to be flooded with new deviation  notices when I return!<br /><br />8DDD  <br /><br />[--> Dyr ]<br /><br />P.S. My mood won't change either.  Yay!  I joined a bandwagon!<br /><br /><hr><a href="http://dyrn00b.deviantart.com/journal/25217628/">[link]</a><br /><br /></hr> ]]></description>

I'm not depressed, angry, or emotionally unstable.  I love my life right now, and everyone in it.  I just write these stories for fun.  They are not based on me, or anything in my life right now.<br /><br />#2.  Repeat number one.<br /><br />#3.  Repeat number one.<br /><br />#4.  So stop messaging me saying you're sorry.  M'kay?  8DD<br /><br />----------------------------------<br /><br />KRAWK ISLAND IS OWNING ON NEOPET'S ALTADOR CUP.<br /><br />You're jealous.  You know you are.<br /><br />Also, in other news...<br />I need a study partner.  o_o<br /><br />For finals.<br /><br />RLY.<br /><br />Actually, not really.  I can call up my friends or something.  I'm just letting you know that finals are coming even more sooner than I expected, and I really want to get in to AP classes next year, so I need to study.  We get out the 23rd!  It's so long away.  ._______________.<br /><br />Did you know the flying squirrel really doesn't fly?  It glides.  My dream is ruined!  (Sula, that's the second dream this week.

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I'm thinking of adding some literature content on to my page, rather than all that lovely crap that I have on there right now.  I do have to tell you, I'm more like Mark Twain in writing than anything else.  Unfortunately, don't take it as a complement towards me (I'm not that conceited...).  I find him rather boring speaking in Old English, I just can't help it.  It seems all he describes is detail, and less story.  NOFUN.  <br /><br />Mreh.  We'll see if I can find a nice topic to write about.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Is very hectic.  And confusing.  <br /><br />But I have a lot more free time now, seeing as sports ended.  <br /><br />I plan on making a manipulation for all the users who have ever visited my page.  It'll be random what you get (hell, the last time someone got a bullfrog), but you can keep it.  Forever and everrrrr.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  I'm mega lazy, I really am at the moment, so don't expect it soon.  Just keeping you in mind if I ever note any of you.  Oh, and does anyone have any good songs I should listen to?  Or do you recommend any good podcasts?  My ipod needs some lovin'.<br /><br />P.S.  Ever heard of MOHAA?  It's an oldies game.  <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_Honor_Allied_Assault">[link]</a>  I'm addicted to that (lost code to Halo, so can't play it no more), but am too lazy to register for Xfire. Sooo... yes.  <br /><br />P.P.S.  I just figured out what FTW means.  For the longest time, I thought it meant "Fuck the World", and I would think the person saying that would be seriously depressed or something.  I like the real translation better.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ They're like the Backstreet Boys, and Nsync.  Or, that's what they remind me of.  I love it though.  If I wanted to listen to quality <i>instrumentals</i>, I'd listen to some Eric Clapton, Jimi, all those guys.  No, I'm just listening for their voices.  Another boy band that of course I like to listen to.  Did you know the Backstreet Boys are back?  Except they've gone for "contemporary" styled music, and are trying to aim their audience towards adults rather than screaming fan girls.  I don't know about you, but I liked their old sound.  Something I could dance to.  Hmm.  <br /><br />Anyway, I plan on drawing once in a millenia, so I'll hopefully have some more deviations rather than pictures sometime over the weeks.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ -sigh-  My friend is hanging out with friends I don't like.  It seems like she has way more fun with them than with me and my friends.  It's aggravating, because we had the best times in the Fall...  It's so annoying!  And it's not like I'm even going to see her next year, since she'll be going to a new school.  It's been trailing on for almost a year now, I don't think I can take any more of this "back and forth" motions.  First she's obsessed with one group and ignores me, then she's not.  Advice?<br /><br />Anyway.  Just decided to throw in a little rant.  Just to shake things up a bit, you know?  In other news, I have puffy paint all over my legs from this sports decorating tee's party we had last night.  It peels off.  So, you can make fake tattoos that peel off and stick on to things.  I know!  Awesomesauce!o_o<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ With the cold winters left behind us, and the recollections of spring becoming ever more present, with the days of heat closing in our palms, as we feel the first signs of sweat as the sun beats down upon us, everything has sprung to life.  The grass has become the greenest, the birds have become the loudest, and those canadian geese have become destined to dance upon our roof, yelling at each other all day, only to torment the dogs who so longingly wish to climb up and defend our yard.  I've started many new things as spring has hit our small little town.  Since I moved from Denmark to here around a month ago, I've fit in snugly with some friends at school, sports, the necessities, really.  <br /><br />It's another new day.  Another new time.  You too can make the most out of your potential.  So I welcome spring, with open arms.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
