Just really tired of shit lately. :\ I'm enough of a failure that I've actually seriously considered taking a semester off or something, try to get my head together.

Table registration opens for Sakuracon in two hours. Last year that shit sold out in one minute, thirty four seconds. XD OH MAN PANIC I HOPE I GET IN AGAIN 8C


Shit's actually lookin' pretty good. Turns out they've increased the number of tables WHAAAAT UNPOSSIBLE! We're up to 42 tables from 25. Which is kick ass. But I'm still nervous as shit. XD



edit// AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK YOU SO MUCH SAKURACON, I SWEAR TO GOD. The fucking form coding was borked for FIFTEEN MINUTES before the web team noticed something was wrong and fixed it. Luckily I noticed it pretty quick, and got a form in for me and another one for ~furiousrockets with the same company name....we'll see if either of us make it in with all the shit they had go wrong. <_<;

So for like the last three weeks -at least- I've been having dreams every night. Every. Night. Sometimes it's multiple dreams per night. Last night I had one involving baby chickens and stealing large gems. Another one involving alien UFOs, failed abductions, mysterious disappearances, tornados, SO MANY TORNADOS, RVs, and being chased by "aliens" that looked kinda like they were wearing those cheapo inflatable plasticy costume...things. Some of them also looked like they could have come out of Where the Wild Things Are. Oh, and I am a valiant person that would not risk the lives of innocents to save my ass and keep on hiding and would bravely step out and face my pursuers. Lol nah not in real life, I'm a pussy.


If I wasn't always so horribly rushed in the mornings, I would so be making a dream diary of all this shit. It's getting kind of disturbing, really.

Haven't been to most of my classes in at least a week since I've been feeling so awful every morning. Last week just felt shitty, today I actually vomited finally. Which normally will let me at least feel better, but then I ended up lying in bed for two more hours feeling worse and worse.

Oh, and midterms start back up in two days. At 8AM.

]]> ~emka103 http://emka103.deviantart.com/journal/28030228/ http://emka103.deviantart.com/journal/28030228/ Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:22:00 PDT

I swear to god, I had pretty much everything happening in school all at the same time for like a week and a half there. Living hell. It's still not sorted out, but the worst of it is gone and I actually feel like I can breathe again. Fwuhhhh.

Yes the vast majority of the OH GOD I'M GOING TO DIE was that fucking pika paper. I don't care how adorable they look, I think I can honestly watch them go extinct without batting an eye now thanks to this stupid class. >8C



But what does this mean for YOU PEOPLE?

UBOAS

SO MANY UBOAS


I had like three people email me in the space of like two days asking if I still had commissions running. XD But now I have time for them! Yay! I've got like...three bodies cut out, one face cut and pinned to a backing, and I'm about to go sit down and sew it up and trim it and all that good stuff. :> And two of those aforementioned people didn't get back to me with payment, so if I finish these and they still haven't paid, other people can step in line and get uberfast guaranteed Uboas mailed to them~


I should really make a Halloween outfit for Lu. Even if she is just gonna be in her matching wa-loli outfit with me when we go trick or treating.

But I just wanted to hop on to say OH MY GOD I RABU YOU ARR, EBELYONE ヽ(´▽`ヽ )

i just got my hundredth watcher ;A;

you're all so awesommmmeeeee ヾ(￣∇￣=ﾉ☆




Just nice to have little happy things mixed in amongst all the suck in my life at the moment. I've been so stressed that I'm literally going insane. I've had a really vivid dream every night for the last few weeks, despite normally only have a few dreams a YEAR that I remember after waking up. (And last night sucked. When I wasn't dreaming about doing research on pikas because UGH I CAN'T ESCAPE THIS TERM PAPER EVEN IN MY SLEEP I dreamed that somebody got a hold of Lu and scratched her up really really really badly ;_; Like, deep gashes in her back and fun shit like that. Sob.) Oh and I watched a couple scary video series on Youtube like a WEEK ago that thanks to my stress level still have me scared shitless and last night I almost had a heart attack when I swear to god there was something behind me in the bathroom reaching out for me. What the fuck I need to relax aaaahhhhhhh.

So thanks you guys ;A; I rabu you aaahhhhhh ;A;

adding that to my 100% items and time attack under 10 minutes and noise report completed 100% with every star filled in (except for panthera cantus on hard and ultimate because H IS A FUCKING BITCH PIG)....

....i am a happy nerd 8D





why am i updating my journal so much lately? i don't know. consider it a good thing that i'm going this instead of getting a twitter.

]]> ~emka103 http://emka103.deviantart.com/journal/27768605/ http://emka103.deviantart.com/journal/27768605/ Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:19:40 PDT

So we hiked up this one random hillside to start with, just to see if we could find the sheep - we couldn't. At least not until we hiked to the TOP of the hillside lol, because fuck having it easy and seeing them early. Already breathing pretty damn hard. Hills in Montana are not small. From a Houston perspective, they are already fucking mountains.

Find the sheep. Yay now let's hike back DOWN. Down is a lot easier than up. I like this. Oh lol what that hill just now was only a fifth of the height of the mountainside we are now hiking up next? 8|.

Ended up getting to take it pretty slow and easy for the first half of the hike up the mountain. I'm in a research group with someone in a lot worse shape than me, so I hung out with her as the last people climbing up the hillside so she wouldn't feel too bad about being stuck behind everyone all alone. Also because I am kinda lazy and in really bad shape but yeah I'm just going to say it's because I'm a nice person.

It's a good thing I did though, because after a while she revealed to me that she used to have tendonitis in one knee. And every step up the mountain was excruciatingly painful. LOL WHAT. So I sent a message up the line of students to find the professor or TA and get one of them to come back and help her back down the mountain to the cars, because fffff woman you can't go ten steps without stopping to have to hold your knee and say ow GET OFF THE MOUNTAINSIDE.

TA arrives, agrees to walk her back down, tells me to run go catch up with the rest of the class, who I can't even see anymore over the next few bumps in the mountain trail. Takes me around fifteen minutes before I spot anyone. It's the group of chicks who are all suffering from colds, recovering from flus, and suffering from bronchitis. They let me into their cool club of people-who-get-to-walk-slow-because-they're-sick when I told them "oh yeah I just remembered I'm anemic lawl." Hahaha yeah.

Then we have to walk through snow. This isn't fun when you are soaking wet (OH YEAH IT'S BEEN RAINING THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE OUT HERE, DID I MENTION THAT) and are not accustomed to walking through snow on an incline up a mountainside. Because we've been walking for an hour and a half and we're still going uphill.

Then we found bighorn sheep! Yay! Five of them. That's all. Five sheep. Three of them asleep. We hung around for a bit in the freezing cold and the rain until one of the standing sheep front-kicked the other standing sheep in the balls.

So I guess it was kinda worth it to see that.



Oh yeah, and when we tromped back to the cars in a tenth of the time because the downhill slope was so steep we were jogging half the time just because of our momentum, we didn't even get to stay in the cars for very long. After driving for like ten minutes, we reached this really muddy stretch of road that was kinda narrow and RIGHT NEXT TO A CLIFF. So the professor made us get out of the cars and walk, since it was so unsafe.

And made us walk uphill on the road for another half an hour.



I'm actually limping right now, my legs are so worn out. Yeahhh. Got back to the dorm, stripped, and crawled in bed, and typed this as an afterthought. Now I'm going to lay here snuggling my two dorries and not get up until ~NnyF comes back from tonight's club meeting and makes me eat food.




That was a lot of typing. I hope at least one of you motherfuckers is entertained by my suffering. Please? make it worth it omfg

Heading home next weekend. Last midterm is Thursday night, leaving on a plane at 7:30AM the next morning.

Grandma died at 9:15 last night in her sleep - she had apparently slipped into an unresponsive coma Monday shortly after I talked to her on the phone for the last time (If yelling into a phone and only hearing I CAN'T HEAR YOU, EMMA, counts as talking).

Rosary's at 5 on Friday, funeral's Saturday.


Turns out she was born in 1916. God damn. I had assumed for so long that she was born in the 1920s. But nope, 6-6-1916.

Also, I turn 21 on Saturday. :> Currently failing to find someone that has a car that's willing to drive me to Lolo in celebration, though. I mean, there's cars aplenty, just nobody with a car that I care to give free steak to and share company with for my 21st. Because om nom nom free motherfucking steak I want itttttt. Otherwise I think I'm just buying myself a bottle of vodka and a jug of OJ, making myself some screwdrivers, and being belligerent for the duration of the university's anime club meeting.

A HAW HAW.

(I had the option of hitching a ride to Bozeman for the weekend with some chick from my Ecology lab, which sounded kinda cool for a while.....There's a HUGE falconry event going down which sounds pretty awesome, plus Oktoberfest~ But then I realized the only place I had to stay is at my ex's dorm. The ex who has seriously wanted to get me drunk for a really long time. And who does not plan on keeping his pants on. ....yeah then the idea started sucking.)



.............oh and guess what I just got

DORRY SHIPPING NOTIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCEEEEEEEEEE
FEU IS COMING HOME OMG OMG OMG OMG 8DDDDDDD

lol just in time for me to piss myself over a Volks Kurumi head going on eBay for $800. Oh my god I am literally in tears over this fucking thing, I want a Kurumi SO FUCKING BAD. UNF WHY ISN'T SHE MINE. FUCK NOT HAVING A JOB THIS SHIT SUCKS.

I've got two midterms and a lab practical this week that are stone cold prepared to hand my ass to me on a silver platter, and another midterm the next week....oh and I have a group research proposal that I have to turn in this week, oh and I have a term paper due at the end of the month, oh and....

Yeah I have no time for anything fun this semester, like sewing. DX Not even time for anything not-fun, hell. My grandmother back home is dying - seriously in her last days, hospice care is around with morphine getting dropped on her face almost constantly - and I can't even go home to visit for the inevitable funeral because LOL FUCKING MIDTERMS.

Okay so. Just got off the line with Dell Support, shit's under warranty still YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Support person thinks it's the motherboard. So a tech is being sent to the dorm with shiny shiny new parts to replace it.

They're also coming with a shiny shiny new ~TOUCHPAD~ since mine was also having seizures before it busted altogether. AND new screws to hold the hard drive in lol because the only thing keeping it in place at the moment is good intentions. And new rubber feet and a new space bar JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN.

I like Dell Support. *u*

I KIND OF DON'T HAVE ONE OF MY OWN AT THE MOMENT.



Yeah. Once again, power cord failure. This time was even more exciting though - something was so fucked up with the power adapter that the laptop wouldn't even turn on if the adapter was plugged in. Considering that it was already sitting at 0% power, it was only a matter of time before the juice completely ran out. Last couple of days involved a lot of screen flickering on and off as the power bounced on and off. :/ Fun fun seizure time for me. And for the laptop too, as apparently the touchpad is on the fritz now as well, since the mouse keeps spazzing into the top right and closing any window I might have been looking at. Whoo.




So yeah. New adapter is on the way, this time with a twelve month warranty. Let's see how long until I get to cash that in. Le sigh. Until then, that's....pretty much why I haven't been online at all ANYWHERE for the last couple of weeks. Because I'm terrified that my computer will explode.




......during that time though HOLY SHIT MAN I SAW A SHINY BIDOOF IN DIAMOND. HRRRRRRNNNNNGGGGGGGHHHHHH. Of all the fucking pokemon for me to see as my first shiny. A bidoof. I can't believe it.

Yeah yeah yeah. I'm a complete takes-forever-to-play-anything gamer. Everything I do is ridiculously last year. Blargh. (or last decade. ask me how long it took me to actually see any of half life. hurf.)

But yeaaaahhhhhhhhh. Living with a Sho RPer/cosplayer makes seeing Sho in the game HI-LARIOUS. DAMN YOU ~NnyF you made this game ridiculous. I was loling every damn time he showed up on screen. Just. Because. _{(now to perfect my konishi giggle and FUCK HER UP SO BAD OH MAN IT'S GONNA BE SO FUNNY)} (A HAW HAW TABOOTY.)


MAN SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ME THOUGH. HIGASHIZAWA WAS THE HARDEST FUCKING BOSS EVER. Fucker took like ten tries before I could beat him. >8| Wtffffffff. I beat every other boss on my first try. Shit, I got star ranks on all the final bosses, no less. BUT HIGASHIZAWA. WHY. WHYYYYYYYY.

_{fuck your pudding of doom you fat piece of shit}


and no before you ask i'm not *actually* done yet as I still need to do Another Day and go obsessive compulsive about getting the secret reports and maxing everyone out and all that jazz.

//edit okay so I am retarded and accidentally beat all of Megumi's various forms on easy mode. HURR. I had been farming those green frogs before him for money and then forgot to set it back.

Overall, it was a nice con. Like I said, I went with ~neverblue, *FlyKiwiFly, ~paxluvfelicitas, and another friend selling our Brainsucker wares~ I maybe wouldn't quite jump to recommending this con to everybody, but behind the table I at least enjoyed myself more than I enjoyed myself at A-Kon 20. That's not saying much though. I had a pretty bad time of it at this years A-Kon. Oh well.

Certainly was strange, though. Backwards con was BACKWARDS. Usually, you get slammed hard on Friday and Saturday, physically exhausting yourself to the breaking point, and then laze around in a wobbly haze on Sunday trying to recoup. But at San Japan...we barely had ANY sales on Friday. D: I didn't even sell any of my stuff until Saturday, and that was only TWO things. But on Sunday? wtfffffffffffffffff. It was weird enough seeing how many people were showing up with Sunday-only badges, but my god, we suddenly started selling everything we had right and left. We also took over three tables, hurrrr. The people at the table to our left never arrived, so we sort of absorbed their table by Saturday...and then the people to our right didn't return on Sunday so we absorbed that table too. That absorption was purely accidental, though. I was dismantling my Touhou sticker display, figuring it a lost cause due to the lack of sales and its falling apart, but..as I was sorting the stickers on the empty table and cleaning up the tape, I sold three stickers. ._. So we just took the stuff that needed more room and crammed it on that table too. Hee. We needed three tables though, so bah. In the end, I think I did well sales-wise - it was just really touch-and-go for a while there those first two days. Ouch.

Didn't do any cosplay at this con, but I did pretend that I had style sense at least. I had on my green and pink wa-loli dress for Saturday and Sunday, and had Lu in her matching dress as well. ~paxluvfelicitas also at one point constructed a matching lolita top hat with blue ribbon for Lu to wear so that we matched even more, and it was sickeningly moe. Especially when I started nomming on a neon green popsicle AND EVEN MY FOOD MATCHED MY OUTFIT. Got a lot of photos taken of me for that one, heh. (omg even Sky Pirate dragged me off for a photoshoot! *A* The only other time he's taken my photo was my Udonge cosplay debut. I felt flattered as hell. Hee.) I DID almost end up in an accidental Akiyama Mio cosplay though, which was hilaious. *FlyKiwiFly didn't point it out until we were in the car on the way home, at which point she and I totally lost it and couldn't stop laughing for ages. Unfortunately, it involved wearing my partially see-through black petticoat as a skirt, and I didn't have any shorts to wear under it, so it never happened. It would have been lulz, though. Black poofy skirt, black tank top, black lolita hat, black shoes, bright blue thigh highs, HOW DO YOU DO THIS ON /ACCIDENT/ WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

As for people at the con, I hung out with Halbarad for the majority of Friday. Touhou nerds may know that name from the credits on a lot of the recent Touhou game English patches as the image editor. We're in the same IRC and had met up at A-Kon, so he skipped work for the day to come visit. It mostly translated into us going HRRRNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH UFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SWRSOKUUUUUUUUUUUUU IS IT COMIKET DAY 2 YETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT a lot. :V ~Kieshar was also in the Alley by us, so we chatted a lot BUT I AM LE TARDED AND DIDN'T NOTICE WHEN SHE WAS PACKING UP TO LEAVE and as such have now gone three cons where I have failed to buy that damn Mushishi badge of hers. SOMEDAY, WOMAN. ~squidflakes was there too, of course. Yaaaaaaaay. Thanks for the fried rice, dude. Guy's always fun to hang out with. <:

....And now I must seriously correct this Umineko withdrawal I've gone into. See how bad it is for me? I haven't even LOOKED at UFO or SWRS yet. I NEED MY UMINEKO FFFFFFF.



But yeah. In closing....
TO THE RIGHT~ TO THE RIGHT~ TO THE RIGHT~ TO THE RIGHT~ TO THE RIGHT~ TO THE RIGHT~

I'm slightly disturbed. But I'm pretty sure that's only because I have only unlocked as far as the third album photo. I expect to be thoroughly disturbed soon enough.

[link]

It's basically a color-matching puzzle drop game. You want the blocks to land on blocks of the same color and disappear. Getting matches ups the life meter on the bottom, letting blocks drop without matches lowers it. Letting it run empty means game over. A little trick I've learned is to bump the blocks in midair into each other and matching them up there - that way, when they land, they automatically disappear and fill the bar.


Periodically after you finish a game, you get a little picture to appear for the album, with a little story to go along with it. Every time you unlock one of these, check in your game folder for an image named "photo." ....That's why this game is officially disturbing me.

Last day of work was today. It's been fun - not working at the zoo next summer is really gonna throw me for a loop. I've been there seven years now - four summers of children's zoo volunteering, two summers of bird department volunteering, and now three summers of Attwater prairie chicken internship. I've seen my share of weird shit at the zoo - chicks with popped air sacs that steadily inflate until they can't walk and you have to call a vet to come and poke it with a needle to deflate it every hour, chicks that magically become hunchbacks one day and forget how to walk and need months of intensive physical therapy before they can go back outside, chicks that lack a yellow pigment but somehow not a brown one, chicks whose livers fall out onto the ground and your shoes when you pick them up, chicks with maggots living in their butts, chicks with legs that rotate not 90 degrees - not 180 degrees - but 360 degrees so that every time they walk they spin in a circle and gyrate towards their destination, chicks that start booming and doing the mating dance a mere 24 hours after hatching........

..........okay yeah prairie chickens are fucking weird.


But yeah. The Houston Zoo's been a part of my life for a seriously long time now. Pretty much all the formative years of my maturity were spent at that place. I'm gonna miss the work, the animals, and the people. I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm done with school, but maybe someday I'll end back up there. I don't think I'd mind all that much.


_{.........Plus, hell. I can always marry for money.}

I buy the paper, get to work, and after throwing in about six hours solid of work on this picture, I head off to class to show it to my TA for my midway evaluation on it.

For some reason, everyone else in the class is bringing in papers that are much larger than mine.


I bought the wrong fucking size. The final was due in 48 hours at that point.


Cue heart-attack. TA is remarkably unhelpful, saying "welp better get up early tomorrow and buy that new paper so you have time to work on it!" and things like that. AKA, LOL U FUCKED UP NO EXTENSION FOR YOU.

Cue exhaustion and desperation - and then cue my trip to the bookstore this afternoon after class is done.


The bookstore is out of the right size and brand of paper.


The man working there did try to help, and showed me a different brand of paper - a little heavier, and a couple inches smaller, but it's the closest thing they have to what my TA wanted and should be just fine. I buy it, take it home, start coating it in charcoal.


The new paper has absolutely no tooth to it and won't hold the charcoal.


Around this time is when I seriously start hitting my mental breakdown point. I can't find my TA, she's not answering her emails, and anything I try drawing smudges out instantly or goes to white in just a few eraser strokes. Two hours later, I FINALLY get a response from her, saying that no, stonehenge DEFINITELY won't work, just buy the second-largest size you can find of the brand she told me, whatever it is doesn't matter - just get SOMETHING that holds charcoal.

The bookstore is sold out of that size too, of course. There's NOTHING in this brand in white that is remotely close to the size she told us, not anymore. So, panicking and fighting back tears, I reach for the shelf that has the third largest size -

It's the same size I started drawing on in the first place.




I'm going to murder the next thing near me that moves.

Moved back up to college just fine, everything's going great, I get to sleep early so I don't feel like hell when I wake up for my 8am class....

And I feel like hell when I wake up for my 8am class.

My stomach kicked into high gear today, and I ended up vomiting before I could even swallow my prevacid. I figure, well, maybe now that I've vomited, I can make to to my classes and be okay, since the worst is over. No. I make it back to my room and my stomache still hurts like hell. So I curl up in bed, hoping it'll be better by the time I have my 9am class.....

....and around 9am I have to vault out of bed to dash to the bathroom and vomit a second time.

I've been shivering and aching nonstop since then, and only finally feel better now that it's about 1pm.



I've missed three of my four classes on my first day back.

I really, really hate my body.


//EDIT: Oh, well, I feel less sick now, but I still don't feel any better. My mom called to ask how my classes were, and when I told her I barfed twice, she got mad at me and chewed me out for missing the first day. So I'm in trouble for being sick. Thanks Mom, I really appreciated the "get well soon" message.


//EDIT EDIT: Kay, now trying to join the giant circus dance to get out of my morning Japanese class. Because if I can get into the afternoon class instead of the morning class, I'll hopefully miss less classes due to barfing. The afternoon Japanese teacher believes me, but the morning teacher is pretty positive that I'm full of shit. This gets better and better.

i promise i'll expand on this when i have had more sleep. ahahaha.

that list is just a starter. and the only thing i'll really expand on is OH MY GOD REAL ARTISTS ARE AMAZING. the first day we got there, who did we find as our neighbor? =budgie OK HAPPINESS SEIZURE TIME. yeah our record for somehow always having absolutely amazing people as table neighbors in artist alley is still running solid.

so after our whole table had finished spasming over the fact that budgie was sitting rightfreakingthereomfg, we started setting up....and my giant uboa plushie got snatched up by two fanboys almost instantly. DDD: which confused me, because holy crap who actually knows yume nikki, and worried me, because i wanted to save it for *shirotsuki.....but then i figured naaaaahhhhh she's all popular and amazing and fantastic and probably doesnt remember me. except like an hour later *FlyKiwiFly came running up to me and was all OMFG SHIROTSUKI REALLY WANTS TO TALK TO YOU DDDD:

so she's freaking amazing and i bought four of her yume nikki buttons WHICH ROCK MY WORLD THEY ARE SO INCREDIBLE jensomeoftheseareforyouhurhurrrrr and i kindasorta hovered at their table for a WHILE fangirling with them......and beware of our fiendish plot to create a giant rubrub cosplay and work as a team swapping out whos under the cosplay every hour and just stand on the escalators RUBBING THE HANDRAIL RUBRUBRUBRUBRUBRUBRUB


so yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh artist alleys are wonderful places because the people you meet are AMAZING. ;_;

LOL LIFE SUCKS DESHU


started the day i flew home from montana. arrive in houston, no parents to pick me up wut? maybe theyre in baggage claim. no parents at baggage claim either. so i call, turns out theyre just pulling up. so instead of trying to park, dad just decides to circle the area and wait for mom and i to reappear with baggage.

mom greets me at baggage claim with tears.


my cat died two days before i came home.



still feeling pretty messed up from it. my friends are all insanely awesome and attacked my house with doughnuts and cupcakes and strawberries the night i got home to make me feel better, buttttttt i still feel pretty bad about it.


and speaking of cats and death, when i was driving home from work today i passed a kitten lying on its side in the road desperately kicking its feet in the air trying to get up from where the car in front of me had run into it. i sobbed the entire rest of the way home, sobbed AT home, and then cried a little less strongly when i got mom to drive me back that way shortly afterward and couldnt find it again. someone who wasn't boxed in by traffic like i was and had a chance to stop and rescue it seems to have done so. so i feel a little better about it. but shit thats still traumatizing when youre still thinking about your own dead kitty. <_<

oh and speaking of DEATH
[link] omg isnt it cuuuutttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee its probably gonna die overnight because the broody hen we have raising it is a dumbshit and wont brood it like its supposed to. thanks you dumb fattychicken. need moar banty wives pls they raise mah babies goooood. [link] because what you cant see in that photo is the sixteen little prairie chicken feetsies poking out from underneath momma banty. d'awww theyre so fat and cute.

oh and speaking of BIRDS
for fucks sake esteban is ripping out the feathers under his wings and around his LEGS now. i'm home, the self-mutilation was supposed to get better when i got home. but it's getting worse. so i'm apparently just a horrible mother is all.




so yeah, as if animals didn't have me stressed out enough, A-KON IS THIS WEEKEND AUGH WUT

i have almost nothing ready because every day i get home from work im literally unable to do ANYTHING for a few hours because im just so tired. and i've been getting home at like 5 lately too, despite only being on contract to work 7am to 4pm. and interns dont get paid overtime, lulz.

so yeah. i'll have some uboa, and some bunnies, and some gorotan, and some watermelons, but......probably not too many because i just fail like that. pardon me for wanting enough sleep at night so that i don't pass out raking pens outside in the full sun. and i'm getting the bare minimum to meet that requirement anyways at like 5 hours a night. I'M FREAKING TIRED OKAY ;_;

BUT PLEASE GOD IF YOU'RE IN THE DALLAS AREA COME TO A-KON
COME TO THE BRAINSUCKER.NET TABLE IN ARTIST ALLEY
COME BUY SHIT

so its finals week here in montana, and dsgkjhasdgjkasg i hate it with a passion.

8am on the first day and i have my freaking careers in natural resources final. studied all the notes i could find for it, finished both books....but FUCK im probably gonna get a C on it anyways because there was way more aldo leopold shit than i expected. god i hate that man now.

in about 20 minutes, i got my bio final. ehhhhh i got an 88 and a 90 on the midterms without studying, maybe actually studying the mastering bio stuff will get me a low A as well. we'll see.


chem is tomorrow. she gave us all copies of the final already, so im gonna work together with somebody smarter than me to get all the right answers. because im a genius like that. woot maybe i wont get a 76 for once.


then ive got a takehome final for public speaking due wednesday. just gotta motivate myself to do it.




but oh wait, it seems i'm missing something. hrm....this journal doesnt seem to sound too panicky, considering its title.....oh right.





so i schedule my flight home on sunday, right, because my spanish final is friday and i dont want to mess with packing while im studying.

WELL GUESS WHAT

THE SPANISH FINAL ISNT FRIDAY

ITS TONIGHT

First note: Who's heard this poem before?
Little Johnny was a chemist
Little Johnny is no more
What Johnny though was H2O
Was H2SO4

"Little Johnny is a dumbshit! D<" you might be saying. "It's Little Johnny's fault for not reading the label!" you might be saying. WELL MY RIGHT ARM SAYS SCREW YOU.


Yeah. Chem lab last Thursday. I finished everything all nice and on time and was cleaning up my distillation apparatus when something spilled all over my arm when I tilted a tube the wrong way.

"Oops!" I said. "Some of the water I was filtering with must have still been in there. Silly me." So I went to look for a towel. Turns out we were out on our side, so I had to walk to the other side of the lab to find some. While walking, something strange dawned on me.

"Oh crap. That water had to have been 'water' that was stuck in that catch tube. That wasn't water, that was water mixed with cyclohexane! Shit! My arm is gonna STINK something AWFU-"

Somewhere in that sentence I realized there might have been something besides water and cyclohexane in there. A massive stinging sensation had spread completely over my right forearm, and upon observation, a bright red track had appeared spanning the length from my wrist to my elbow, pointing out where the solution had spilled.

We had used ten drops of 18 molar H2S04 in the lab. Ten drops. No more, no less. Amidst 50ml of other non-stinging liquids, ten drops of EIGHTEEN FUCKING MOLAR SULFURIC ACID. ASDGKJSHDGKJASDG.


So, the burn faded by that night, but my arm stung for several friggin' hours just because one little drop of 18molar sulfuric acid accidentally got into the higher part of my distillation apparatus.


Hope that brightened your day a bit.




Oh, and I'M ON SPRING BREAK, FUCKERS. And basically covered under a giant pile of fabric. Ahurrr. Total population of my dorm floor, by the way? INCLUDING the guy's side?

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be? So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press Play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the Next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.
7. Don't skip songs.

(1) Opening credits: Azumanga Daioh Movie Ost - 04 - OPENING (OH MY FUCKING GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

(2) Waking up: HIGH VOLTAGE - UNDERGROUND (Oh holy fuck it's the first Lagann ending theme. HELL YES I'LL WAKE UP TO THAT. Do I need to rig my alarm up to play this now?)

(3) First day at school: Nakamura Miru - Chiisana Shuuraku (Some random song of the first Utawarerumono OST. I can tell you right now my first days of school are NEVER this peaceful. WTF.)

(4) Fight song: Akira Yamaoka - Forest (Well, it's kind of a slow song, but....it's from Silent Hill 2. THAT MAKES ME WORRIED.)

(5) Breaking up: Masayoshi Minoshima - Lunatic Princess (It's..Kaguya's theme from my favorite Touhou game I think......although it's pretty upbeat, uh, the title....who's ready for some yandere Emka HAPPILY KILLING HER EX HOW DARE HE BREAK UP WITH HER WELL I'LL SHOW HIM WHO WAS RIGHT MUHUWAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA >8D.............oh god I'm insane, lmfao. It could just mean that it's going to be me making the decision to break up and thus feeling happy though. Let's hope that's the case. 8D)

(6) Happiness: Iwasaki Tarou - Nessa no Areno wo Nukete dai Gurren Dan ga Iku no da (And in a fit of irony, this song, despite being all yeah! let's go! we're the GURREN DAN AND NOTHING CAN STOP US! ....it actually almost makes me cry every time I hear it because it reminds me of all the happy and sad and amazing and crushing moments that the Gurren Dan has gone through to create a better world for everyone and and and *collapses in a sobbing fangirl heap* OHMAGAWD I LOEV GURREN LAGANN ;______; )

(7) Life's okay: Hirano Aya & Chihara Minori & Goto Yuko & Matsuoka Yuki - The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi - SOS Dan Radio Shibu Bangai Hen CD Vol.3 (Ending) (LOLWUT? It's just a bunch of Japanese girls being moe on the radio. Yeah, I guess life IS okay when I've got moe Japanese girls talking to me on the radio. )

(8) Mental breakdown: Sakai Mikio - Picaresque (Huh? I actually had to look this one up. Wasn't very satisfying until I read the album it's from - Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouche OST 2. THEN I lold. Because this show almost GAVE me a freaking mental breakdown with those last few episodes. XDDDDD)

(9) Driving: Joe Hisaishi - sentou (LMFAO. It's some insanely serious dramatic orchestral piece....from....NAUSICAA!?!? LMFAAAAOOOOO!!!!!!! Be careful when I'm driving, guys, it sounds like a warring army advancing and destroying everything in it's path. XDDDDD)

(10) Flashback: Yoko Kanno - Nightstalker (Huh? Am I stalking people when I think about them? I didn't think my flashbacks were as dramatic as this...It is kinda nice to think my past equates to Ghost in the Shell though. <#)

(11) Getting back together: Biohazard 4 - The Mercenaries (LOLWUT? While I admit I did like the theme to the mercenary bonus game in Resident Evil 4.....What's this supposed to mean, I'm gonna hook back up with somebody and we're going to skip off happily and kill people together? Or, oh shi, zombies, remember my break-up song? MAYBE I DID KILL HIM AND HE COMES BACK AS A ZOMBIE DDDDD8 )

(12) Wedding: Soul Sings (LMFAO I'M NOT FUCKING GETTING MARRIED GUYS. This ifile is from back when we had that karaoke thread on my old forum, and this one dude, Soul uploaded a fake karaoke that was just A SOLID MINUTE OF SILENCE. I'M. NOT. FUCKING. GETTING. MARRIED. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD)

(13) Birth of a child: The Pillows - Crazy Sunshine (Well, at least childbirth is gonna be all pretty and upbeat and super friendly and NOT GONNA HURT LIKE A BITCH D< ....I actually like this song too, like...a LOT. Maybe I won't hate my kid then? 8D)

(14) Final battle: Radiohead - Molasses (Oh fuck I lold. Most anticlimactic and slow song ever. I get the feeling I'm gonna be that boss fight that's just like ".....Oh. Hay. You wanted to like....fight? Huh? ....Why? Nah, I'm waayyy too tired. You wanna just like....play a poker match or somethin'? NAAWWWW not with lives on the line, that's too cliche and stupid. I mean just like.....a poker game.

i do have like..a gift-art i wanna do for somebody i found here though because she's adorable and was able to keep up with my touhou-fangirling for like half of her frontpage and took all of my cosplay ramblings without freaking out. and her name reminds me of cirno which makes me lol. unfortunately im a MORON and did it in pencil when i don't have a scanner so aarrrrgh.

T_______T







Oh by the way, don't expect arts for a while. I lost my tablet pen. And I'm moving back to Montana on Saturday, too. If I don't find it before then I think I'm gonna die. ;A;


Now to get back to sewing all the random shit I need to sew before getting to Montana. ASDFGDGSG. I think I owe like..three gorotan, a dementabunny, and a kitty hoody. And I have no stuffing left. Fuck.

Oh well. Try and get a screencap of it for me, people. Because it's neat. And I might do...something.........


Gimme a break I'm in an art slump. I can't focus on anything I try to work on because I either get bitter and start whining about how much I suck or.....just stop drawing and sit there dreaming happy little fantasies about David Tennant.


And speaking of David Tennant, OH MY GOD DOCTOR WHO IS AMAZING WHY THE HELL WASN'T I FOLLOWING IT BEFORE

Nny, I know you're gonna read this. Prepare to get sucked into another fandom when I get back up to Montana. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.



So yeah. Most of my free time is spent either fangirling over Doctor Who or being a lazy bum on IRC. I did actually have a couple Birdheads planned out (since my comics are now getting hosted at the fucmnack site as official lul content, we had to come up with a name for them.....and before you blame me for that awful name it was in fact the Canadian that decided to call them that ) and one of them was actually pretty far into getting colored but then my laptop froze. Force restart meant that all the progress got lost. And all progress lost meant Emka got bitter and cranky and didn't want to start over and has been in an art slump since. T_T



My god it's hard to find the right buttons for T_T when you're typing in the dark at 3:40 am on a laptop at a funky angle and you take your hands off the keyboard to pet your complaining cat for JUST long enough of a time for your hands to totally forget the proper keyboard placement for your muscle memory to kick in and tell you where the keys are automatically.








I'm going to get an extremely rude awakening today when ~neverblue comes to bang on my bedroom window at 11 am aren't I. Girl, if you hear cussing and screaming on the other side of that glass, you should know why. T_T

have a great whatever, y'all.

and whoah, screw you da, would it kill you to be functional for ten minutes? dont tell me ALL of us losers that frequent this site are spending our christmas mornings here XD

LATER THAT NIGHT...........

OH FUCKING WOW. i just slept through christmas, guys.

I.
JUST.
SLEPT.
THROUGH.
CHRISTMAS.



seriously! so even when i was making that post earlier, i was starting to notice i had a bit of a headache...i ignored it though, since ive had a ton of headaches since getting home (curse you cat hair). i then hopped in the shower, and....started noticing my headache getting WAY worse. by the time i got out, i felt like shit. i told my mom, and she pulled out her excedrin migraine and told me to go lay down - dont worry about the family (racist grandma, douchebag uncle, and retarded uncle had recently arrived for the annual early-as-fuck christmas dinner). so i go lay down in my room, and start noticing my stomach has also started feeling icky.

so when my mom came in to check on me again...i got officially quarantined from the rest of the family. so, with nothing better to do and feeling like shit, i took a nap.

and proceeded to not wake up til 6pm.

so yeah.....christmas dinner was long over, douchebag relatives had long gone, and my older guy cousin and my moms brother were at the house instead. so i've definitely learned my lesson - i need to feel sick around my dads side of the family WAY more often, because shit, it pays OFF.





oh, and official fuckwin christmas loot of the year? two words.

RASPBERRY FEDORA.

new club, so we're still setting it up and all, but bah, i'm sure you get the idea from the name of the club... JOIN PLZ.






...also check out though since they seem to rock. XD when our individual efforts fall short, we plan on leaning on these guys. since they've got a huge userbase already.

that other group doesn't like vigilante justice though. im....pretty sure we DO. ;D

So finals start tomorrow....er...today...and I seem to completely lack the ability to muster up a damn. AT ALL. I've got a paper due at 10am for my Intro to Honors final, and fortunately I've BSed my way through most of it so that I'm almost done, but...wargh. I'm getting the feeling that this is the only final I'm going to be doing anything for. Well, I take that back, I'm going to be throwing a few cheat sheets together for my chem final. As in, no way am I gonna study. And before the non-Montanans give me death glares, they're G. Whiz-approved cheat sheets. He lets us use them. Don't you hate me?

Well, stop hating. I didn't ever get a chance to make up that chem test I missed by barfing. So I'm kind of hoping-praying that G. Whiz - I'm really not kidding, this is the name the chem prof wants us to call him by - pays very strict attention to the syllabus he gave us at the beginning of the year that says he'll actually drop a test grade. Homagaw.


Next topic - Plane tickets are fukken expensive. Call me a douche and a tool if you will, but I really want to go to NYC over spring break in March. I know I know stop spending your damn money you've got a CON the second weekend of spring break - but I promise the NYC trip isn't for money-spending. It's for a big fat #DA meet-up. Yeah.....Esco and Bobbu already live there, and Hawks and Soul are ready and willing to travel at the drop of a hat if I actually pull off getting the plane tickets. (And to preempt any laughing at about trying to call these guys their screen names in a real environment, I DO actually know all of their real names too.)

And I think I might actually have the money, too, technically. What about that money I earned over the summer on my internship? If I estimated this right, I think I earned around $1500 (f u minimum wage), and while sure, most of that went to my shiny shiny laptop, theres still a few hundred left, which could easily go towards these $550 plane tickets to NYC and then back into Seattle for Sakura Con. (Whiiich I'm still somehow debating in my head over the artist's table for. Even though I know there really and truly WON'T be a way for me to pay for that one.)

Butbutbutbut arrrrrgh. I'm going to try and call my mom to tell her my plans tomorrow. Which are almost inevitably going to get shot down. After all, Maggie's expensive-like-you'd-never-believe wedding of the century is happening in April and our family is kind of having to pay out the nose. Weirdly enough, considering that this is Maggie, my ultimate rival sibling that I'm talking about, I don't resent her at all. Whoo, I'm maturing! Heh. Not.

Still, I've got my hopes up, ready to be dashed as they may be. I've really wanted an online meet-up with my DA and IRC friends for a while, and this past summer's NYC meet-up that I obviously had to miss has kind of made that little thought practically explode. We'll see how the chat with Mom goes. Maybe if I time it right I can call her before Dad gets home. Maybe that'll help it go better. >D


....Awww, I almost made it through an entire journal entry without a single emoticon. So much for that.




AAAAAAnyways, sorry about that. Wall of text, oops. Let's just hit the preview button and- ...ohjesuschristthat'shuge.

tl;dr BAWWWWWW I WANNA GO TO NEW YORK FOR AN IRC MEETUP BAWWWWWWW.

Also, impending deadlines seem to make my artistic fervor go up a notch and my time spent browsing DevArt go up about five. Thus explaining the journal update. It's almost one AM and I really don't feel like writing this paper still. Also, I think I've said in it about eight times already that I'm really lazy. I hope the prof takes the hint.

Thus, since I feel like SHIT, I'm stuck back here in my dorm room procrastinating on all the tons and tons of work I have to get done in the next week because of finals...and I can't get myself to focus on anything since as soon as I try, I end up with a killer headache. orz.

My, what a cheerful journal entry, considering how I haven't updated in forever! ME, PUKING! WHOO!

.................



.........orz.



Empty promise number one - I'll stop failing at making vectors T_T I seriously have made no progress on that second Kusuriyuri vector since uploading my WIP of it...argh. I'll get off my ass soon, I promise, just.....let me get through finals T_T
Empty promise number two - I WON'T FAIL ALL MY FINALS! I'LL GET THROUGH ALL THE STUDYING I NEED! I AM SMART LIKE THAT!
Empty promise number three - Uhhh. More comics? I almost missed my plane going home over Thanksgiving. That merits a comic, right?


Urrrrrrgggghhhhhhh so tired. Gonna go curl up in bed after checking to make sure my chem prof won't mind that I didn't come to the exam today because I was puking.



........Stupid rain. Why'd it have to get warm again? I want my snow back. T_T

And yes, by warm I mean it reached 35 degrees. Fahrenheit.




HEY CAN YOU TELL IM PROCRASTINATING AGAIN

8- I don't eat food. Ever. I subsist on just the THOUGHT of "oh hay I haven't eaten today I probably should " and then still not eating.
7- Contrary to popular belief - including my own - I CAN'T fly. Which made that incident where I jumped off my roof at home all the more awkward. (And no, I'm not kidding.)
6- I have to clarify that I'm not kidding way too much.
5- I'm not kidding.
4- I laugh EVERY SINGLE TIME someone either says "BWARPHLARGGLE" or "Oh no, a horrid little monkey, you better not bite me you ugly cunt." EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
3- I cuss quite a damn bit.
2- I have spent over an hour and a half sitting stock-still in a really scratchy bush in a really uncomfortable position just so this female cardinal in my backyard would forget that I was there and tend to her nest so I could watch her feed her babies four feet above my head.
1- I need to stop skipping all my classes. Asaddgjhsadfhag.
0 (because i can)- I do actually say "Asaddgjhsadfhag" in conversation.

Now who to tag. Uh....IF YOU READ THIS YOU HAVE TO DO THIS

.....

no?

Fine. You're it .



So yeah. Been feeling kinda emo lately. 4chan is down, so my life has automatically been reduced to an empty shell (SJKDGKGKAJGS I MISSED A TESTAMENT THREAD ON /CM/ GODDAMMIT). Plus I'm going insane waiting for Trinstod's clue #004. Because that little dick in Sweden still hasn't uploaded the movie package that the chick ACTUALLY PICKED UP OMFG GUYS WE GOT IT AASDGDFDSDF....we did get photos of it though, which was pretty neat, but we didn't get any pictures of the Adorable Cat bag, which is a shame, because supposedly there really was a shredded up cat plushie in it (!). And I'm not insane, I'm just referring to [link] .

But that's not the real reason why I'm emo, it's....because I miss Houston. :\ It's 44 degrees outside, all the trees are actually changed to fall colors, no matter where I look I can see a mountain in the distance....but all I want is to be able to hear some gulf coasts toads singing or to snuggle with my son or to know that any one of my friends is just a trip in the B-mobile away. Thanks, Oni-con. You did this to me, you jerk. Jesus...the first con I miss and Jiayi pulls an epic cosplay, Connie goes gothi-loli, Amy seems to have actually put some hair-falls up for sale (which I'm sure I'm misinterpreting, because how many cons has it been since she made those first hair-falls for "sale" ? ;D), THERE WERE LOLIS IN COSPLAY......yeah. Not not not not happy.

I'm probably not helping myself considering the fact that before I left home, I made a big four and a half minute recording of just the gulf coast toads in my driveway singing the night away. And I've been listening to it a LOT at night. T_T

Sigh....I'll just go drop a shitload of money on gothiloli dresses in Pangya again, then.

its just that.....work...is REALLY tiring. >_< im on my feet all day, and when i have to go outside im not only on my feet but now also having to deal with the heat and the humidity and the -mosquitos-. when i get home, i collapse on the couch and don't move for at least an hour. i don't even have to be doing anything, i just lay there like a slug. so when im this pooped -- ha ha ha did you see that there i just made an ironic statement lawl -- its hard to force myself to do something like color in comic panels when i don't really feel like doing it in the first place. so, just bear with me while i deal with my fuffy chickenbabies. one of them might have west nile, by the way. so you can understand why ive felt a little more frazzled by them than usual.

so yeah. im gonna go back to...well....playing more fatal frame 2. yae and sae kimono costume option or bust.


///edit: okay, why the hell isn't the link for the third page of the montana sketches showing up? it's listed in my deviation management, but nowhere else. damn you deviantart, i know i've neglected you, but come on. T_T
