This is so awesume! I finally get to do one of these!
Righto, so! The kiriban is for my 4,444th pageveiw. If you send me a note with the picture I'll give you a free request!...I'm not sure if those are in high demand though, but it's there for you!...if you want it...


The nanowrimo is going okay.... I'm a little behind on my word count but at lease I have a sister and a friend who're doing it with me.

Sorry I've been a dud with the deviations, I'm kinda....busy, for lack of a better word. And my tablet has been stupid lately. I thought it died the other day because it would not work but the next day it woke up. I'm kinda sad that I don't have SAI anymore, I miss the water tool. And photoshop elements is just...well.... stupid really. I feel so detained. At least I have my traditional fluff!

I'm not sure if my last journal covered this or not but Volleyball has been over for quite some time, and we got 4th place in our tournament a few weeks ago. I can feel my muscle deteriorate....T^T BUT! I got a Coach's Award for the JV team and a bunch of little patches that you put on those nifty senior coats.

Right, well.... That wraps my life pretty well.....

So if you ever see a multitude of these in the comments of someone's peice it's because that's exactly what the group does. You can submit your work to this group(with 900+ members and growing) and the members will give you feedback. But it's a give and take group. You just can't take the feedback, you have to give some of it too.
I just joined the group two days ago and I've gotten a million feedbacks on the peice I submitted. They told me what I should work on, what looks off in the picture, and what they liked!
So if you feel like you need to work on something in your peices and you can't pinpoint it exactly, join the group and you can get the feel of what others think of it. But don't forget to give feedback on the rest of the gallery's work.

On another note of "business":
I had a recent watcher who said she really liked my fanfics. NEWS FLASH: I'M NOT WRITING THESE FANFICTIONS ANYMORE!!!! I feel really bad that that's what people are looking for and I'm not finishing any of them. But if you're a watch and want to read a fanfic((THAT WILL BE FINISHED)) by me you can, on my fanfiction . net account.
If you do go and read it, and like it, and get frustrated that I haven't updated it recently, don't be. It's only because I haven't had any time. With Volleyball and homwork there's no time during the week. And on the weekends I have priorities that end up taking too long.
I would say that I'd have time to write it after Volleyball ends but then I'll be starting the NaNo WriMo thing. Which is a priority over the fanfic. But in december ....
So you can chck that out at [link]

So let's talk about my life shall we?

Well, it's MEA here in MN and that means I get an extra 2 days off with my weekend. THAT'S 4 DAYS! And it's Saturday now, so I only have two days left T^T
Anyway, what better way to spend a four day weekend theeeeeeeeen------REPAINTING MY ROOM!?
That's right all my shit is in the middle of my room now with tape lining all the molding. I've discovered some very unpleasent things and it's allll nasty; some 10 year old jelly beens, centipedes , and my personal favorite- a tooth! Yes I agree, ewwwww. I'm painting my room a dull green. It's a kinda purple blue right now. I'll see if I remember to take some before and after pictures.

I had my varsity volleyball tournament last weekend. It was some much fun! I only played in the last game though, when we were loosing sorely and couldn't be redeemed. I played great until I got all ready for this nice back row hit. I was ready; my arms were in the right position, my weight was balanced just right to hit the ball with lots of power, and I was siked!
But when I hit the ball it didn't go over the net, it just kinda fell off my hand. I was soooo depressed!!!! And that was the last point so it was very memorable for everyone T^T. We got 4th place out of 8 teams, so we did pretty well actually....
The JV team won their first game on Tuesday, I was so flippin proud of them. They've been working so hard and they really deserved it! I think I'll make cookies tomorrow and bring them for Monday's JV practice. ((((no I don't think it's worth mentioning that it was the first game of the other team...)))) But anyway, I'll see what I can do about get the coach to let them practice hitting.


Sorry for spamming you with my journal again!

So I now have braces! YEA! Wait, what? NOOOOO!!! They're really terrible. One of the metal bands on my molars keeps cutting into my tongue. If you look at it((which YOU won't be...)) You can see about 5 different layers of skin(?). It's like the grandcanyon, layering down farther and farther. It's weird having a hole in my tongue. I think it's an omen: Don't get a tongue peircing....

Righto, anyway.... For school we had to memorize the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence by friday((yesterday)). I think I did really well on the second paragraph. I guess that comes from studying past midnight. I really don't know how long I studied for, but I hid my clock at 11 so I could complain about how late I got to bed the next day. Which I didn't!

Actually, I'm in my sisters room for the next two weeks. My nine yearold cousin is staying with us for a couple weeks because her parents are in Europe, with my Grandparents. T3T I would like to be in Europe with my grandparents...
I'm not bunking with the same sister as last time for some reason.... I'm with Anna now. Her room is literally on the other side of the house. Don one flight of stairs, across the house, and up another flight. But it's a cute room and I like it.

Tomorrow's my old school's marathon. Every year me and my four best friends go, sit on our curb and throw candy at people. Eventually we had to jsut hand it to them because people were falling off bikes, down the hill, and into the pond....Scratch that- they only got distracted. This will be our first year as Alumni! And we're not even sure if the curb will be available. We chose that curb to be OUR curb beacause two years ago we volenteered to be supporters that help the people finish the marathon. We took it to the next few levels- added candy and music. So the school may have actual students sign up for that spot...

Anyway:
Deviantart related, sorta:
My mom and I went shopping for faberic to make my vest out of, but we didn't find anything. So we decided to stop at the art store!!!!! I love this store. It's just the most amazing shop I've ever been to in my whole life. It's really big actually but there's SO MUCH STUFF that it seems really tiny! It's called Wet Paint, hence the name. So I was thinking of getting just a couple of copic markers to start adding to my collection. But I ended up getting a multiliner- then I thought, I should get some actual marker paper. Then Watercolors popped into my head((I love watercoloring)). So I had to get some of that too. Then I needed a couple more brushes to water color with. But of course- what's the point of even trying to watercolor with our masking!? So we got that also. So in all I got:
2 copic sketch markers
1 sephia tone multiliner
a pad of marker paper
a pad of water color paper
3 new brushes and
some masking!
all for around 30 dollars!((there was a back to school sale, so the paper pads were 20% off and the brushes were on clearence.
Well, when we were looking for the brushes my mom got kinda annoyed with how long I was taking and she said, "Now, for my birthday I want a very nice picture." It's her 50th birthday this year so I had been asking her what she would like. And I really hate showing my family/people I know any of my work so it's going to be painful. But I decided, if that's what she wants, I'll do it....and get her a barnes&Noble Gift card, because she's the book type.
I won't start watercoloring til I'm back in my room- I don't want to burden my sister with all my shit. And also because I don't have a desk in here. Only a comfy chair.

Sorry about spamming you all. But I've a couple quiestions:
What are your favorite Watercolor tutorials?((no you idiot, I DO know how to watercolor, but I couple tips and procedures wouldn't hurt))
What did you guys get your mommies for their 50th birthday?

Well that rein's over, time to complain:
I got my spacers yesterday. I was told they'd hurt, and they do, and I can't eat- which makes me depressed, because I love to eat..... food.... where fore out though food?! It gets depressing when you can't eat a turkey sandwich for lunch that only has turkey and bread in it.... T.T

Anyway that's all I have to complain about really so just uptodate stuff. I think I'll do it in bullet point form:

*On Varsity AND J. Varsity
*Captain of the J. Varsity Team *beams!*
*Got my school picture back: I'm as ugly as hell. Retakes here I come.
*Indoor field day tomorrow, pizza lunch, and movie afternoon!
*Homecoming Varsity Volleyball tomorrow night YIPPEEEE
*Watched new Bones episode tonight- I'm not really liking this season so far...
*Homecoming Hoedown(because my school is stupid). My friend and I are in the three legged race.
*New name obsession: Carlile Lily!((girl name))
*I get braces next week
*Working on my Avatar Girls Pro.: Suki!((I don't like her very much though....))
*My friend fractured her arm in three spots playing Duck, Duck, Grey Duck. I warned her not to play- it's a dangerous game I learned from past experience.
*New favorite singer: Brandi Carlile. ((Hey earfbender, is that where you got your knew name obsession? Maybe....))
*Need more copics!
*I like Huck better than Tom.
*I hate conjectures... Damn you geometry....
*Roualf is well.

MOZLETOFF!

Since I'm in 9th grade now I have to take Human Letters for the next 4 years. It's Literature and history put together. What sucks is that I have to retake this states test that I coincidentally took((and failed)) in fourth grade. It's on Tuesday! We had a four days heads up, and I'm dieing of lack of sleep here.
This particular class just so happens to be 2 class periods long, so we're looking at about an hour and fifty minutes here, without my ten minute break. We are also reading this terrible book called, god forbid, "How To Read a Book", and it's about how to read a book. I'm a slow reader when it comes to school books, so imagine my dismay when my teacher assigned 27 pages of this pointless, small point font book; Or my dismay where I accidentally took the wrong book home that night so I couldn't do it; or MAYBE my fury when she assigned another 20-30 some pages the next day. That brings me up to, for my weekend homework in this class: 56 pages of this impossible book, and the memorization of all the US states, locations, and capitals!
((But the states one isn't that hard, I just enjoy complaining))

I feel bad for my lonely little copics. They sit here by my computer wanting to be colored with, but I'm too busy and tired to draw something to color. So I stare pathetically back at them, telling them that labor-day weekend is coming up, and if I finish my homework, and catch up on sleep- maybe I can spare a couple hours to do some fan art. Or maybe, some original art... but probably fanart....

I went to my cousins sleepover last night. It was for her birthday-party. We went tubing, when it was 67 degrees outside. And because of a lack of life jackets two people had to stay on the beach at a time while two others went to tube, and one helped balance the weight on the boat with my uncle, who was driving.
I froze my fat little ass off out there!!!!
And of course since it's a sleep over we didn't fall asleep until some crazy hour in the morning, so that added to my lack of sleep even more.
After the sleep over we went to church together, and that's where our group dispersed with different rides. Apparently I fell asleep during mass... hmph, imagine that- not that I care.


Why do I do this?
I post a journal once a week complaining about my life to a profile page that no one comes to anymore. It's therapeutic, yes, but who cares? Who cares that I'm exhausted, or that I have to read a stupid book? It's like I'm blogging and no one's listening.
So this is what my life's come to: me adding to the abundant pointless blogging of the world.

While at the festival I discovered that my new favorite artist is LA. Williams! And my favorite peice of his is Lady of Flowers.
I wanted to get the print but it was too expensive.... But I got the book that he was the coillistrator of: Book of Angels. And it's soooo pretty! It's a book of the seven angels((lol, I thought there were only four....)) and it was a bunch of his paintings along with Ruth Thompson's. THE DRAWINGS ARE SO PRETTY!!!!!

But of all I loooooove this little sword-in-a-stone thing I got! It's adorable!
The food was good also! Soup in a bread boul yea!!!!! Then kettle corn! By the end of the day we probably had spent 10 dollars on beverages because we was dieing out there! x.x

So last night my family went to see Ponyo and it was great! I had an awesume time. Now when we got home my sister tried to find the "Ponyo song" and she could only get a pop version of it. So I was wondering if anyone knows where to get the english version that was played in the movie.

A note to Noah Cyrus:
You're way more talented them your sister. I like your singing better too. Please don't ruin your career by starting your own tv show- it will give you fans but also haters. I like you more than your sister because I hate your sister and because you have much more potentional. I loved your voice for Ponyo, it fit prefectly!
Pass this on to your Jonas friend- I feel the same about him. It would be terrible to see the two of you turn out like your siblings.
~earfbender

...

ya........ SO! This coming saturday I'll be going to the Renisance Festival((damn right I look up how to spell Renisance)) with two of my sisters and my cousin. It'll be oober fun and you'll be jealous when I tell you about it in my next sunday Journal.
__
There's a new Stargate series coming out: Stargate Universe and I'm going to watch it! It comes out in October and I plan on liking it. So if anyone wants to be fans of it with me we can start some fanclub or whatever....
__
Now that Zutara Week is over I can post some of the peices I've done in my free time.

Much to my distaste we had the unfortunate "oppurtunity" to hike up the moutain adjacent to Lake Louis. Might I bring to your attention that this was a very steep Mountain indeed, and I had not brought my inhaler....

My most prised buy there in Banff was a shirt that said "Evolution of a Canadian" then had that evolution thing of humans beginning with monkeys then making its way to humans. Then there was a fifth stage and it was a Hokey Player- with a thought bubble saying "Eh?"

27 hours distributed in two days of driving later, I arrive home, back in Minnesota where we've missed the best of the summer storms.... But also, to the arrival....of my COPICS!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I'm not wonderful at Volleyball, but I am definately not so bad that I had to be on the team I was. Another problem was that with these beginners that have probably never even heard of Volleyball before was that they mad me look stupid! I was the only ninth grader on my tiny team; everyone was younger then I was. There were two people on my my tiny team that were perfectly respectable. Both going into 7th grade I think. I liked them; but the other three I couldn't stand.

On Sunday, my first day, I made the mistake of asking the youngest(going into 6th grade) to "pepper"(warm up thingy) with me. Ends up she has a lisp and is imposible to understand. She complains and sits even when the coaches told her to stand. The worst part was: She wouldn't leave me alone! My friends and I ended up calling her "mini-me". Surprisingly she wasn't the worst, but I won't even begin to talk about her....*shivers*

Well, the good thing was that 3/5 of the whole camp had practices that you could choose where you wanted to go to improve you skills. So my friends and I could get together then. Then there is dorm/free/meal time that I hung out with them.

All in all, I learned how to play on a terrible team, make the best of it, and somehow have fun: I'm satisfied with this week and I'm glad I'm home. I'm now going to pack for Canada, to which we embark tomorrow morning.

COPIC NEWS!

My copics didn't come....*tear*....BUT I figured out that Monday was just the shipping day, so technically-they'll arrive tomorrow. YEA!!!!!!!!!! Whether they arrive before we leave or not, I'm not sure. But I trust this site. They even sent me the direct link to follow my shipping; I enjoy that!

People I owe:
60%: I'M REALLY SORRY!!!!! I really want to do this in copics, so hang in there! Hopefully you'll be satisfied.

Now camp starts at some time tomorrow and I'll be there 'til Thursday afternoon so I wasn't sure if I'd have time to update my journal tomorrow.
I'm missing my brothers birthday for this too.... He's turning nine on Tuesday! I love him, he's the best. We went to the zoo and he picked out his present that he doesn't get 'til Tuesday; He got a long stuffed animal snake and we named him Rufus. So Rufus and I have been chilling in my room for a while- I'll hate to see him go.

I went to this camp last year and it was fricken awesome- so much fun, if you have friends at least. I'm sharing a dorm with my cousin and we have the first dorm party. I went ballistic with food/candy today at Walmart We will go down in history(for about five days) and will be known as throwing the best, first dorm party!

Remember when I said I sent in a claim to Amazon for my copics? Well, they answered early(Tuesday I believe) and I decided to try a third time to order them . I got them from a different sight though and they were like, forty dollars cheaper then what I payed the second time(which was over priced). But it was also cheaper then the notorious 115 dollars that this certain set usually costs, so I also got a colorless blender to go with em!
Unfortunately they come this Monday....And I'll be at camp, so I won't even get to see them until Thursday.

What sucks even more than missing the arrival of my copics, and missing my brother's birthday is that the day after I get home- we're going to Canada.... Eh, at least I'll have my maple syrup and Hockey, eh.((I'm sorry about that, but I have to stereotype Californians and Canadians because as a Minnesotan I'm constantly stereotyped)). So technically- I have one afternoon to unpack, wash all my soon-to-be-disgusting-with-sweat-and-blood clothes, re-pact, wish my brother happy birthday normally, begin using my copics AND update my journal, telling you all about my so-much-better-than-yours week.
I guess I could take them north with me but they'll probably get lost...Oh well!

Zutara Week starts on the 10th and I'm not sure if I'll be home by then for it. But I think I will. So....optimism??? No, I fail at that....

Okay, righto, earfbender out!

(((((((So just in case no one figured this out after I told you all that crap about my life that you probably don't care about- I will be completely inactive for the next two weeks EXCEPT! For tomorrow morning, and this Thursday. But I love coming on to dA after a long time to see I've got a lot of messages and new notes- *winkwink* *nudgenudge*))))))

You always hear of the oldest child being the most successful, and the youngest being the most loved; Then the middle child being the most ignored. But the fact is! The middle child gets so much attention for having the notorious placement. They get a lot of attention for being the middle child. So what's the fifth child? ((I'm the fifth child in my family))
There are nine people in my family: My dad, mom, oldest brother(24???), oldest sister(22/23?), second oldest sister(intern in Australia), third oldest sister(16), ME!, second youngest brother(no one cares about him, haha), and THOMAS! He's the baby in the family. He's the best and I love him. He's also eight....Where did the time go?!!?!?

^^^^^I totally did that so I could show off I have a huge family. But seriously- the fifth child.... I'm going to look it up: ----------searching for like 20 minutes----------

DONE! I've got nothing..... The closest I got was a chart that went to 4th borns then to youngest- I was so pissed. What really ticks me off is that I saw some news things on Yahoo a couple of months ago about birth order....

All in all, I really don't care but you know, it'd be nice to know. Who I really feel bad for are the people who live in HUGE families with like 10-20 kids; Just think, the 13th child is looking up what it means to be the 13th child....such a shame...

The worst thing about being in a big family is when you tell someone you're from a family of 9 they automatically ask- "Oh are you Christen?" WHAT IS THAT?! Can't someone just want a lot a kids? What's bad is that my parents are Christen, so it's annoying that they assumed correctly. I hate it when people are right....

So: Does anybody live in a family with a large amount of kids as I do?

EDIT! Okay I'm really disapointed; I went to bed at 4 and woke up at 10:30!!! I only got six and a half hours of sleep. This is terrible!

FUCKING TERRIBLE MOVIE EVER! IT WAS ALL WRONG! If I hadn't read the book it probably would have been quite enjoyable- funny, even. But I had read the books and it was ALLLLLL WWRRROOONNNGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were the first people there. We were sitting in line by ourselves for about half an hour before other people started coming . I cosplayed a kill-off Ravenclaw student(I love killing off charactetrs! Best thing about writing). It was lots of fun: smuggling in food, playing countless rounds of Apples to Apples, playing Harry Potter 20 questions, and making fun of hufflepuffs. What in gods name is a hufflepuff?

We decided that insdtead of saying something was "gay"((like "omg, that's so gay")), because that's rude- we decided we'd say "that's so hufflepuff"; because reallly? HUFFLEPUFF?!!?!? It sounds like Pigmypuff((a pet sold at Fred and George's shop)). When you hear the names Gryffindor and Ravenclaw you think- wow! what strong, majestic names! Then you hear slytherine and think- that's evil, oh yes I can feel it! Then.....Hufflepuff? Excuse me? HUFFLEPUFF!? What is that? A feild of daisies with happiness, candy, and goodness? BULLSHIT!

So was the movie- I'm uninclined to actually saying anything about it except that it was like taking the sixth book- burning half, putting the other half in a blender, then putting it on a disk and saying it's a movie. Why bother even making the movie?EFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About my Copics:

If anyone remembers my multiple "rants" about my coming copics- Here's another!
They didn't come....
It's July 15th. I was told they'd be here on July 7th.
So I emailed the company about them, and never got an answer. ((Future reference, don't get anything from Fluping Lo/Lost at E Minor, because you'll never get it)). So I filed a claim, because we can do that. I'll get my answer on JULY TWENTY-SEVENTH(27)!!!! I'm going to be at Volleyball camp! I won't be here for an email concerning something I should already have!
I had this all planned out, I was going to get them in June and I'd color all of my lineart that I've been working on since December! My binder holding my work is about five pounds! That's how much I have in there!
What did I do to deserve this? I just want my 36 markers- is that so much to ask?! I'm as depressed as I was when Kel and Cleon broke up- so fricken depressed!
Also, I'm not getting much traditional work in because I've been left hanging. Yes, it's true, I lost my inspiration because my copics didn't come.....

I went to my aunts house for the big party this year. We also celebrated my cousin's belated birthday. She just turned three!!! She's so adorable! I heard she loves sushi so much that when my other cousins gave her a 9 peice box of it she ate the rice first, then the seaweed, then the fish- all in five minutes.... What a cutie.

So a little update on my peices:

I'm going to try and do all the avatar girls in this order: Azula(done), Toph(done), Katara(done), Mai, Ty Lee, Smellerbee, Suki, Yue, and maybe some comical characters like Meeng/Ju Dee/Angi.

I'm also only going to post colored pictures, or finished sketches for now on; if I do post line-artsy stuff it'll go in my scraps- so that's where you can find it.

My copics still aren't here- the last day they can come is this Tuesday, so if they aren't here by Wednesday- I'm sending a very colorful message to Amazon!

On the way to the party I saw such a pretty car!! It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm not sure what it's called but it looked kind like a plymouth roadrunner. Just gorgeous!!!! It was a plan bright blue, and oh my god amazing!!!! I would do anything for that car. I think I'm going to ride my bike up to that house tomorrow just to look at it.

After three days I did all there was to do and finished off the next three days by reading constantly. I finished 5 books! I do believe I'll die soon of excess iron intake though; the water there tasted like rotten eggs- brushing teeth was like reading Twilight- I gagged the whole time . And my showers- it-it-it WAS TERRIBLE!!!

I'm sorry for my last journal post, I'm almost positive no one gives a crap that I spent 40 minutes writing a journal. What also bugs me is that I titled it "FUUUUCKKK!!!!!!!"
If someone came by my page and saw that in my journal history they'd be very turned off I'm sure....

But if anyone's loyal enough to noticed I said "getting copics"- I am! They should be here before July 7th. I'm getting Copic Ciao Set 36A. I'm oober excited .



Well, at the cabin we watched Wisper of the Heart, and I can garentee you there will be Seiji/Shizuku fanart coming!!!! Also, four of the five books I finished were the Protector of the Small books. And there is DEFINATELY going to be Cleon/Kel fanart also. I was always fangirling over them- they are the most adorable pair ever!!!!
Me when introduced to Cleon/Kel=

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

In my first draft journal my mood was nuetral/tired. I'M PISSED NOW!

]]> ~earfbender http://earfbender.deviantart.com/journal/25141666/ http://earfbender.deviantart.com/journal/25141666/ Fri, 05 Jun 2009 11:08:15 PDT

I ordered my first set of Copic markers on Wednesday and they were suppose o arrive next week. But this morning I got an email saying the box they were in broke, leaving some of them uncapped for a while. So then they say: Would you like a refund or a diferent set! UGH! AND AMAZON CURRENTLY ONLY HAS SET C AND D NOW! And I need set A because it has the black and skin tones!!! WHYYYY!!!!
So I asked for a full refund and if they could tell me when set A was back in stock- but just watch, they're never going to email me back!

So if anyone wants to help my current state of depression- Where, on the internet, did you get your Copic Ciao marker sets?

EDIT: Alright they emailed back saying they would- BUT WILL THEY!?

Sadly, I don't have any new peices to give to the very few still watching watchers- sorry guys...
I guess an update wouldn't hurt right?:

Working on:
Chibi dA ID
Create Your Own Princess Entry(hopefully I'll finish in time, lol...)
and maybe I'll start some Bones Fanart

Some awesume news about me that is not related to my newly changed age:
My not-so-wonderful VB team got about 6th or 7th in our tournament...our of eight teams...
I really hated the Bones season finale- DAMN YOU BOOTH!
My sister and I are writing/drawing a book for my Cousin's Christmas gift! And, YES, starting 8 months early is necessary- no I won't post the pages- WHICH SUCKS FOR YOU HAHA!
and drumroll please.....
WE GOT A NEW PRINTER! HUZZAH! And it has a scanner. It only took about 40 minutes for my sister and I to get it going and all-then we named him Merlin- Yes, we name inannimate objects....so, Merlin the Printer!
and(last bit o' news) I finally have enough to buy my first set of Copic Ciao Markers! Amazon, here I come!

I'll edit with my gifts when I get them, hehe

EDIT!!!(8:38- my time)

Well, holy shiznit I hit the jack pot this year!
MY dad got me a scanner/printer. I was so freaked. He had mentioned it was a possiblility but after he got us Merlin(see above) I didn't think he'd get me one too! So I named this one, with the help of my sister, Edric. He's so cute!
Mom got me an MP3 player it looks like an equivalent to a nano ipod.
My baby brother(who's eight) got me 2 bags of gardedos! I love that little twerp.
My other Brother(12...I believe....) got me sunglass that don't make me look like a bug-SCORE!
And my grandparents gave me the traditional 20 bucks- which is going to the funding of my Disney Princess Birthday Party- yes, I went there! I'm either Pocohantas or Mulan.

Well, my cousin was over and we were kicking a flat volleyball around and I got it stuck in the tree! Not like one a branch that's easy to just shake off. It's stuck like a basketball gets stuck between the rim of the hoop and the back board. So we try getting it out by throwing baseballs at it! But after three throughs, I tried kicking a soccerball up there- but it didn't really work. We didn't have much more time 'cuz we had to go in for dinner. So the flat vb is stuck in a tree, and it won't be easy to get out becuase it's flat! We didn't have enough time to go back out after dinner because my cousin had to go home.
While dropping her off it started raining- hard. We thought maybe the rain will make the ball slippery and it'll come out. BUT DAMMIT WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING THERE WAS SNOW EVERYWHERE!!!! IT'S APRIL FOR GOD'S SAKE! NOT TIME FOR SNOW!
Now, I can't even go outside to keep through baseballs at the vb because there's snow out side and the ball is probably frozen to the tree!

^That is why people hate Minnesota!

And I'm not exagerating, I will take pictures of everything- the ball in the tree, the snow falling, and the foot of snow already on the ground!
The only thing good about this is that it's pretty....and I got 5 12-packs of Dr. Pepper for fifteen bucks!




EDIT!!!!.....!!!!
The next day...(which is Monday- I mean today)...(^above happened yesterday)

Right well, yesterday afternoon I got the ladder out and tried climbing the tree, but I'm to short So I got my sister to do it! She climbed a 10 step ladder with a lightbulb stick thing(very long) and she knocked it out for me!*mutters of congratulations from crowd* YEA! I videotaped the whole thing, and held the ladder and the same time!*EXCITEMENT AND CHEERS ERUPT FROM THE CROWD!*
When we were done we did our Tortuga dance(don't ask) and watched the video on the computer, very funny! No, I won't post it on youtube because she is against posting videos/pictures of herself on the internet. I mean, her Facebook profile picture is Azula
Um, remember those pictures I promised...wellll.....Apparently MN also has darastic temperature changes, and most of the snow melted before I could take any important pictures. I got one, of the neighbors' tree, it's full of snow to prove that is actually did snow.

NEWS PHLASH!(yes I did totally spell flash with ph)

When I went to school today my friend tells me she went to CA over the weekend for her cousin's wedding. She also told me that she figured out what my accent was. I was all "The hell....I have an accent?" And she explained that I pronounce my 'g's at the end of words like her CA cousins do... So most people here say "running" like "runneen" but I say it "runneenG"<<

Okay, last night was the Medieval Banquet at my school, and it was really boring actually. I was hoping there'd be food- there was but it was either gross or didn't taste like anything, and there wasn't that much... We started it about 15 minutes late cutting us off time at the end when we were suppose to do our dance. The dance was all messed up any way. I ended up with a different partner then I started with somehow... BUT! The best part was that I got to wear my super awesume, pretty dress! here I am!:

[link]

Funny story about last night actually. My friend David was there and he had to wear a medieval style costume, along with all the other guys, so he had to wear a dress thing. And on his way out of the school he passed by me and I said, "Bye David, nice dress ." And he's usually the one with the good, and mean, comebacks so he was about to say, "Ya, nice dress." But he stopped mid-sentence and noticed that it's okay that I wear a dress, obviously cuz' I'm a girl. So he added, "Oh nevermind, I can't comeback to that."
Ya, so I got great satisfaction from that.

But instead got Princess Adelaide of Burgandy! I'm the Holy Roman Empress of the 900s!!! My dress is amazingly beautiful, it's soooo pretty!!! Unfortunately, I found out that my husband, Otto, is being played by some guy I always thought was a seventh grader...and he has a HUGE head...

Right, well, I recently got back from seeing Slumdog Millionaire, and it was AMAZING!!!! I loved it! Don't judge me, I can see R rated movies and be emotional about it! It was really well done, and now I'm all depressed...it's sad that people live like that... And on to my next topic, because I can't talk about Slumdogwithout mentioning....:


AVATAR!!!!

Right, well, I accept Dev Patel as the acter of Zuko!!!!!

And last but definately not least!!!!!::::

NARUTO MANGA 441!!!!!!! SPOILERS

Right, well, I've rewritten this part like, I don't know, five times; I don't know how to say what I want to say!!! It was just to exhilerating for words! gogogo! read it!!!!
happy happy happy!!!!


ya....well, maybe I'll post pictures of me in my dress! I hope you all go see slumdog millionaire!!!

Right so Wednesday I went to visit my old school for lunch(my new school's on vaca). Everyone there, other than my closest friends, hates me. I mean I knew they never liked me- but they really enjoy making fun of me! The first thing one guy said to me was, "Hey Julia, how's avatar?" What the hell is that!??!?!?!?!?!?!?! Is there no- Hey Julia, How's your new school??????? No there isn't!

I was the only one at that school that ever liked Avatar and so they take advantage of it and make fun of me! It was like that the whole time- Truely terrible... That's why I hate Minnisota! There are no Avatar fans! I'm so lonely! I have no one to comforably talk to about Avatar that will understand what the hell I'm talking about. It's a good thing my friends there are such good friends- they endure all the embarrassment of being me friends- I love them so much!

On a happier note:

SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILER!!!!!!!!!

KJLGJKFDBGJDFBG I JUST READ THE NEW NARUTO MANGA SCAN- IT WAS AWESUME! I'm starting to love Hinata now! I'm not much of of HinaNaru fan(I'm a KibaHina) but it was so awesume! OMG 6 TAILS!!!!!!!!!!!

on a happier note...:

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!


This morning, at nine am(T.T) my mom signed up our family to go to Feed My Starving Children! At first I was pissed, because it's Saturday and I didn't want to get up. But now I'm happy we went, it was lots of fun! We packed 14,500 bags! That feeds 44 children for a whole year.

For those of you who don't know what Feed My Starving Children, or FMSC, is, let me explain:

It's an organization that allows people to come in and pack bags of food that people living in poverty are given to eat. Their main country is Hati; They send food to every orphanage there. 18000 kids die every day from malnutrition and starvation. FMSC is trying to reduce this by sending food packages, that consists of Chicken seasoning(with 20 minerals and nutrients), dehydrated vegtables, soy, and rice, all over the world.
A Story to touch your heart: An eight year old boy used to way 17 pounds becuase he'd never eaten real food before, after 6 months of eating the FMSC food he weighed around 70-80 pounds. (and lived)

It's really an awesume place, you should all go and help the starving children. It's really fun if you bring friends and all. And it tastes good too(you get samples of the food after you're done XD).

So Happy Valentine's Day!

Yes, I believe what he said about 'them who slaughter the innocent' is completely debatable, considering he's for abortion... But I'm sure he'll do fine... You can't get much worse then Bush, can you? And common, he was born on Krypton! You can't get better than that!

Well here's my excuse, I'm having trouble with keping up with my scedule. My day starts at 6:15 when I have to get up for school.
It actually starts at 8:15. It ends at three, and then I have to go straight home, change, then rush off to swim practice which is 2 hours and ends at 5:45. When my dad is late, by the time I get home it's time for dinner, so about....6:05. I finish dinner probably about 6:30 depending if there's something to talk about.
From 6:30-7 I shower, cuz i like my hair to be dry when i sleep/ and i don''t ike to smell like clorein. From 7-9 I do my hw, and it's suppose to take 2 hours but usually longer, I try to get to bed by 9:30 or I fall asleep in lit/comp the next day!

But I don't ever have any swimming on wednesday so that's when I do what ever it is I do! Whether it's drawing, reading, writing, talking to my friends from the good ol' days at my old 'not outrageous timed' school.

And on weekends I have swim meets, which really suck. And when I have free time I'm most likely going to draw, sorry. I've been so behind I never had time to buy my cousin her bday present! So I just let her use 20$ of my oney at the mall, that's what we did for her bday party. WOOT WOOT MOA!!!

1. Kataang became cannon
2. Ursa never showed up
3. The Sukka/Tokka thing wasn't very clear
4. Azula was last seen having a phsycotic spaz attack which didn't xplain if she died or not
5. It was never reveiled what happened to Ursa
6. AND F*CKING KATAANG BECAME CANNON!!!
7. AND NOBODY DIED!!!!!!!

AND OMG! Did anyone see the last line in the credits? It said:

Dedicated in the memory of Dante Basco.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?!?!!? DID HE DIE? DID MY FAVORITE VOICER OF ALL TIME- DIE?!

And also I really have no intention of finishing my fanfictions. All my energy of them is gone. But it completely depends how many people want my to wrap them up. I don't really want to now but you know...I could...
My enthusiasm for writing is gone....

(oh and I can't change the mood for some reason so it's awestruct even though I want it something a little more depressing...)
