                <description><![CDATA[ *This exists as my outlet for my distress because I have nothing else*<br /><br />I am very ashamed and displeased with myself currently. This past week our so has been very emotionally damaging for me on multiple levels. I'm not an emotive person, I never have been. So I can't really talk about it. I want things to be better for me but everything moves in one big cycle. The only way I can deal with it is to find some way to channel all this bad energy... but thinking about my situation only slows me down more. <br /><br />I can tell my life is going to be pretty terrible for a while. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...oh, what? You want art? Pfft. We don't do that in art school.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ First off, my compi is dead and I'm using my mom's which has a 5x9" screen, and my fingernails have grown so long that I can't type properly on this tiny-ass keyboard.<br /><br />So a while ago i mentioned that it would be awesome to go to K-Con as talim from SCIV... well my brother also thought it would be awesome to go as Yun-seong (he's the only guy I asked who agreed to do so and with enthusiasm) which is also awesome because it's his first cosplay.<br /><br />ANGRY RANT-SCROLL DOWN TO IGNORE<br />So now I'm making these super bitchin' costumes having an awesome-fun time when my sister comes back from college (shit.)<br />"Whatcha goin as this year?"<br />"Me and Adam are going as Soul Calibur."<br />"Do I get a costume?"<br />". . . . . . . . "<br />"oh... so he even gets to cosplay now--"<br />"wanna go as Seong Mi-na?" (pointing at image)<br />"I like this one (Amy). I'll do that."<br />". . . T______T okay but you have to help."<br />"meh. I think I'll just pay someone to help in my place"<br /><br />So now I'm making her a costume, when all she does is sit around watching TV and playing Spore, she doesn't even care about the character and she's never played ANY Soul calibur (even though we own the 4th one). And what the Hell? Amy has nothing to do with our costumes nor does she look anything like my sister.<br />END OF ANGRY RANT<br /><br />Still i'm ultra excited for the Talim and Yun-seong costumes. talims is coming along well but I will DEFINITELY NOT be wearing it outside the convention area. It's the skimpiest costume I've ever worn... TT_TT And my mom's eve excited for it. She says she's going to just hang around the convention area and stare at the crazies. (I love that woman)<br /><br />Anything else awesome? oh yeah: GOIN TO SEE RENT TOMORROW!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I guess now I have plenty of time to sit around watching TV and making cosplay. Hooray for summer.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...I am so bored out of my mind. The one thing I hate about summer is that there is nothing that I am required to do.... that and my room is, like, over 9000 degrees when the rest of the house is, like, 80.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Dear Art Community, <br /><br />How have you been? I am well. It's been almost 3 months since I started at PNCA and while I have found myself at Art School, I am unable to find time to post the art that I have created. It is unfortunate indeed, since there is such wonder I could be unveiling to the world as of now, as I type from this dimly lit computer lab. But do not worry, as Sakura-con is over and I have been given free time, to do things that i may find enjoyable-- such as uploading my year of work. And as final projects have been assigned, there is much I intend to display.<br /><br />Until then, I wish you the best, <br /><br /><i>Me.</i><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ okay, so I've been going to PNCA for the past week now and I have to say I am enjoying myself at school for the first time in a long time, let me tell you.<br /><br />For one thing, going to school in POrtland is just awesome in general. Sure I have to leave my house at 6am 3 days out of the week, and it's freezing balls, but the City is gorgeous in the morning light. I ride the max into town with Rachie, and we try to catch the streetcar to school, even though it's usually faster to walk than to wait for the damn thing. That and it always smells like hobo urine. <br /><br />I'm taking 18 credits this semester because obviously I am not productive enough (and I'm an idiot). Sure, nothing happens the first week, but if I drop off the face of the earth later in the spring, everyone will know why. So far I've discovered: The photoshop teacher is really awkward, the ADCS teacher is awesome, my art teacher's gay (and by that I do mean homosexual), people talk openly about their drug habits with the faculty, and my English class is full of idiots (which is semi good because I won't have to do any real work). <br /><br />and there's this absolutely wonderful 3 hour gap in between my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so usually I just wander the city or do homework (HA!) or something. But yeah, the next four years should go pretty well.<br /><br />(and Louis Vuitton purses are ugly shit. I don't see why they hell anyone would pay so much for one)<br /><br />on another note: it's my 19th which means absolutely nothing except that I got a serger. So this years cosplay will be even more awesome.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm in a particularly good mood rigt now.<br /><br />So I went to that Dir en Grey concert. I was in the second row, but I was surrounded by really terrible fangirls and whores... and the opening band was unforgivably awful. But it was well worth it. I got a guitar pick from Die. He threw it into the crowd and two girls trampled me trying to catch it, but I guess they dropped it and couldn't find it. That's Karma, bitches.<br /><br />I only have 3 class periods left at clark then I'm transfefrring to PNCA for Spring semester. I'm quite excited for it. Now I really feel like I'm moving forward ^.^ And if my family pulls the same crap they did last time, I just might have to work full time until I can pay for everything myself.<br /><br /><br />and I'm not sure, but I fear I may have actually failed my English class. Hopefully I'm just being a pessimist and that's not the case.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This has been a good week. yesterday I came home to find the DVD and the Dir en Grey tickets that I ordered online had both come in the mail, which was very exciting for me.  I don't really have the time, money or energy for entertainment right now, but I think I deserve something nice once in a while. <br /><br />And since I started working at the new toys r us building, we had job training today. Yay!(Seriously) We had a stroller model-off in the aisle. It was fierce. But it's sad that all the shelves are stocked now. I really like stocking shelves. (Seriously) I skipped breaks to stock shelves. Does that make me weird, or an over-achiever?<br /><br />And Halloween is tomorrow! My absolute favorite holiday evar! It might be raining, and if it is, I call for a Nurse-walk across the mall. If it doesn't rain, hell, free candy is cool too.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I now have a job at the new toys r us! But funny story: I was had an interview with adidas and they said they'd call me the next day if I got the job... and they didn't. Of course the day after toys r us tells me that I'm hired, adidas calls to tell me about orientation (about a week after the interview >_> ). But I am quite excited: not only is this my first real job but now I'll have an income to save up so I can go to school. (speaking of which I still hate clark)<br /><br />And there are so many happy things in life right now ! It's october! I have Silent Hill Homecoming! The Tales of the abyss anime is out! There's an Alice themed corn maze! Halloween is almost here! and it's finally the time of the year that I can sit under a pile of blankets with my laptop and not get scorched. How wonderful this october is.<br /><br />and siam is probably the most badass monster ever imagined. I think I know what I'm doing for Sakura-con... I hope my brother wants to go...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So yesterday I lamented my last friend going off to college and leaving me all by my lonesome at... dare I say it... Clark college (ugh. seriously, apply for scholarships, kids). So for the past few days I've done nothing but fill out job applications and research scholarships. I feel really drained and I just want to go back to school so I'll have something to do!!<br /><br />But on a much happier note: My brother tells me today that our playstation 2 is busted. Damn. Then my Dad comes home with a PLAYSTATION 3. How awesome is that?!?! And with Silent Hill Homecoming released at the end of the month, I have suddenly become a much happier person.<br /><br />crap, I just ripped ANOTHER hole in my pants. <br /><br />oh well. I'm listening to ballroom blitz with a playstation 3 in front of me. Nothing can ruin my day.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I spent all yesterday to make up for the week I went without sleep before the con -_-' Ah! but yes, the con:<br /><br />This years cosplay: Sasha from Gaiaonline, Cynthia from Silent Hill 4, Merle from Escaflowne, and Kaolla Suu in a Towel from Love Hina... again, this year I took no pictures of myself. Lame.<br /><br />And so many accomplishments this con! I won best filk (I was the only filk and I'm surprised as Hell that I wasn't disqualified for content). I got the higheset score for the written part of anime jeopardy, and owned the first round, but failed majorly in the second (whatever. most of the questions were about mechs and dub voice actors and I don't really care about that crap) And I won the dating game. awesome.<br /><br />totally failed at cosplay and the mascot contest but I'll try harder next year.<br /><br />but yeah, today I'll have to dive right into making a dress for my father's wedding this Saturday. I don't really want to, but I also don't want to be seen wearing the mariposa crap that my family will put me in.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Now I'm going all moemoedokidoki fangirl so forgive me but it was so damned cooooool! XD<br /><br />and now that I'm a little more collected, I have to say that while the singers were better than the ones in the movie they still can't compare to the original cast recording, so nyeh.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am currently sitting in the camp office by myself. I am the only one with access to the office key and right now it feels reeeeaally nice to put my feet up on Mr. Ernst's desk. (if you know who Mr.Ernst is, you would understand.) I'm really surprised they let me in here alone actually...<br /><br />but I am quite dissapointed to find that I have no new messages or e-mail... when they let me in here mainly to use the interwebs in order to check for messages and e-mails and such.<br /><br />on a much more delightful note: My parents finally decided to pay for me to go to PNCA, so now I won't be forced to go to Clark. XP<br /><br />and another more deligthful note: I's gonna see the Phantom at the end of August!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ SO. I've been at camp for my first week and some of my guy friends decided that I am too flat in places. I've been eating about 3x as much as I would ever eat and I've realized that I can actually eat more than a well-built man nearly twice my size. Of course I've eaten so much in the past three days that I have gone from being 88lbs<br /><br />. . .<br /><br />to 96lbs (I know, that still isn't very heavy). But my bust isn't any bigger and my stomach is starting to stick out. I think Tresvan's workout may actually come in handy in the next few days XP<br /><br />well, at least I haven't been sodomized by a five year old, which can't be said for a number of other staffers.<br /><br />But that's another story for another day.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!<br /><br />I was so excited today, I ran into my house than ran up and down the stairs, jumped on my bed for a good five minutes, ran through Eisenhower Park skipping and jumping and laughing and played on the swings with Showalter for about a half hour then skipped back home singing and dancing and now as I type, my last bits of built up high school angst seem to be exiting from every pore on my skin. <br /><br />AND THANK GOD I'LL (almost) NEVER HAVE TO GO BACK!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ really I should be working on the damned thing now, but anyway:<br /><br />okay, so I'm selling (except I'm not allowed to make a profit, so let's say "giving away, and being reimbursed) copies of my Senior project Comic. And you should totally get one because:<br /><br />1. IT'S GOT SHOUNEN AI!!!!! (kind of, not really)<br />2. all the cool kids are doing it<br />3. I will like you a lot more.<br />4. Maybe one day I'll be famous and you can wave it in your friends faces and say "Ha! I know a famous person, bi'otch!"<br />5. According to my classmates, it is pretty hilarious. (I can't tell because I wrote it)<br />6. You're supporting a local starving artist.<br />7. you'll feel really guilty if you don't.<br />8. If you get two versions, you can improve your Japanese!<br />9. (I was bothered that there were only nine reasons. Ignore this one.)<br />10. and it'll be less than $5. (Seriously, what were you gonna do with it?)<br /><br />but don't feel like you have to. A satisfying amount of people at school are getting copies that I don't care if anyone else does. I was just seeing if anyone else felt they would die if they didn't have one.<br /><br />But I digress. Here's the business side of it: If you want one, comment on this journal or send me a note. There are three versions: Japanese, English, and Americanized*. Tell me which one(s) you want. I can't confirm the price now, but it will be under $5 per copy. I also can't say for certain when you'd get them, but it would definitely be before the end of June.<br /><br />and I know I'm a horrible, horrible sexist... but out of personal embarassment, I reeeeeeeaaaally don't want any guys to read it. So unless you reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally want one... I'd prefer that you didn't read it.<br /><br />*The Americanized version is basically infanticide on my part. The characters names are changed, The japanese letters are masked, the pages are flipped, thus the art is sometimes skewed. However, the dialogue is much more interesting than in the other versions.<br /><br />In other news. I'm really surprised I haven't crashed and burned. In the past 4 days I've had 14 hours of sleep... and only one energy drink. And so far I've only felt like I was going to collapse once, and that was during PE. I'd worry that someone's been drugging my food, but haven't been eating much either.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

If not, then yes.<br /><br />-Do you prefer hot tea or iced tea?<br />hot, with tea cookies and finger sandwiches and a copy of Pride & Prejudice, preferably in a lolita dress.<br /><br />-What is your favorite musical?<br />so many... probably Chicago or Little Shop of Horrors.<br /><br />-Have you ever lied about your age?<br />Don't need to.

His sister let me borrow lots of anime.<br /><br />-What's the wildest thing you've done?<br />haha. that's a good one. I don't know. I've played Chinese fire escape a few times.<br /><br />-Ever blacked out from drinking?<br />I've never blacked out.<br /><br />-Have you ever faked being drunk?<br />every New Year with my friends, or when I cosplayed as Ueda-chan.<br /><br />-When is the last time you were on a bicycle?<br />I think, two years ago?

I think I did.<br /><br />Have you ever smoked tobacco out of a hookah?<br />Is a Sobe bottle a hooka? just kidding.<br /><br />-Who do you hate the most?<br />right now, This guy in my class.

Except my ovaries. I'm selling those for big bucks.<br /><br />-What is by far your favorite moment of life?<br />well, not by far, but probably I went camping with Rebecca and Rachel a couple years ago and there were a lot of good moments. <br />That or this years Sakura-con, when we all went to Bainbridge. That was amazing.<br /><br />-Who is the prettiest person you know?<br />I saw a really gorgeous asian in Seattle.

Not that I've ever had it done to me. <br /><br />-Who has it easier, guys or girls?<br />Guys. they don't have emotions, they get to pee standing up, they don't get pregnant, thus they don't bleed from their baby cave once a month, and they haven't been opressed since the dawn of Time.<br /><br... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so I got back from Sakura-con and here are some of the convention highlights: <br /><br />we rode the train up to seattle, it was faster and smoother than the bus ride back but nowhere near as interesting. <br /><br />we picked up our badges then rode the ferry out to Bainbridge to stay at the home of a family friend of one of our party members. She had an amazing house out on a lake with a balcony and the most comfortable beds in the world. We arrived in Seattle and it started SNOWING. (mind you, my cosplay is a swimsuit. I was freezing... I also looked like an idiot getting off a Seattle ferry wearing sandals and flower leis. <br /><br />We went to Opening Ceremony, followed by the Amv room, followed by the Ali project panel. I have to say, those drag queen back-up dancers were HILARIOUS. Then we went straight to line up for the autograph session and we were first in line XD I screamed when one of the crossdressers mentioned his favorite series was Nadia so when I showed up for an autograph they were all saying "Nadia!" and they signed a poster for me.<br /><br />I won Second place in the "name that anime tune" compettition and got a para^2 max CD.<br /><br />we watched some comedy videos and then watched "This is Otakudom" which I haven't actually seen in years (can still recite most of it though)<br /><br />Went to 'waji's in the morning, it was my first time at the Seattle Uwajimaya. Spent a lot of time in the Karaoke room then went to line up for the Ali project concert (2 hours early) Rebecca and I made some friends, a bunch of hard-core Ali-pro fans and we all played anime-themed party games together. <br /><br />We were fourth in line for the concert but then they told us the first three rows were for industry people and staff only DX. I was so angry. Then Kethup Mania started playing but I wasn't too into them. I just wanted to see Aliproject! They said they would play one more song and I was like "YES!" then they came back for an encore and I was like "NO!!!! GO AWAY!!!" But then Ali project came on AND THE ENTIRE FIRST THREE ROWS SAT DOWN. I had a perfect view of the stage. Which was cool because I got to see the crossdressers dancing which they didn't show on the big screens ^^<br /><br />went to the cosplay show but left in the middle. It sucked. It took forever to actually start the show, the audio was so bad that you couldn't understand any of the dialogue (only music), almost all of the skits were about death Note, and relied way too heavily on music as a &#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />lot.' The only one I enjoyed was the silent hill nurses performing the Lucky Star dance (seriously, those guys understand me.)<br /><br />the next day we were going to go to the fish market but changed our minds and went to sing Karaoke. Made some karaoke friends and we all slaughtered 'simple & clean' so badly that hopefully no one will ever sing it again and it gets deleted from the Sakura-con music library. <br /><br />bought some hilarious buttons.<br /><br />rode the bus back home and bothered the Hell put of Tanner XD<br /><br />Overall okay, but kind of a n00b fest.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I bleached muh hair! XD (not all the way, just some streaks in the front and at the tips). Now I'm a few showerless days short of being Ganguro! Woohoo! <br /><br />yeah, it's 1am and I just had some zip fizz to help me pull a cosplay all-nighter so I feel great! And I've still got 2 energy drinks and a hyper itunes playlist to last me the rest of the night. I should be able to finish everything but fixing the Tear Grants costume by the time I go to school unless I can't find that clay I used to have or else I can't complete the Merle costume. DX <br /><br />Oh! I don't think I ever mentioned what I'm going as! Okay, so me and ~<a class="u" href="http://thecomingofthestorm.deviantart.com/">thecomingofthestorm</a> are totally going as:<br />Sasha & Rina, Those Gaia NPCs. (seriously.)<br />Merle & Hitomi, from Escaflowne (We kind of butchered the Hitomi one though)<br />Anise & Tear, From Tales of the Abyss. (the ones we wore at Kumori-con)<br />Totally.<br /><br />I met the coolest exchange students yesterday (well 2 days ago since technically it's Monday). Kei and Yoshi and they were so nice and so cool and they actually wanted to talk to me about anime O.O that was weird for me. I didn't intende on talking to them about that kind of stuff at all! :3<br /><br />I probably should be working instead of posting a journal but I just couldn't bear to be hunched over my machine for another second. That and I'll have Wednesday night and until 2pm on Thursday to work. (rest of the time is devoted to AP English projects. Grr.)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Maybe I'll start acting my age... probably not.<br /><br />So the discount tobacco shop ruined my dream. I was going to stand at the counter until midnight, then buy a strawberry cigar, but they closed around 9pm and I can't find them at any other gas station and like hell I'm gonna buy regular cigarettes.<br /><br />huh. I have to take the SAT in a couple hours... most people would be studying in my situation. I post Deviantart journals.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have nothing better to do. This was from ~<a class="u" href="http://xkaix.deviantart.com/">xKaix</a><br />
<br />
9 notable/quirky/weird things about  myself<br />
<br />
1. I am a horible dancer. I have no rythm or coordination and I was the worst student in my dance class, but when I'm at home alone, I turn up my radio really loud and sing and dance in my kitchen.<br />
<br />
2. I don't like when it's sunny or rainy. In fact, the only weather I like is fog and the time after it rains when there are puddles on the ground and the sky is maybe... 60% cloudy.<br />
<br />
3. I am afraid of aliens.<br />
<br />
4. I tend to be bubbly and energetic around my friends, but when they invite me to go places I usually find some lame excuse to stay home so I can be alone in my room. But then I get really angry at them and hold grudges when they don't invite me places.<br />
<br />
5. I don't like water, so I have to substitute juice to avoid dehydration.<br />
<br />
6. I no longer admit to being an anime fan, unless asked directly. (which is retarded because it's hard to hide your fandom when you dress like a fan)<br />
<br />
7. ...running out of things... I eat the skin off of my bottom lip because when the sores heal, they feel bumpy and I don't like it. but then I have to be careful with salty foods TT.TT<br />
<br />
8. um. Usually when I make clothes, I spend more time in front of the mirror admiring them than actually sewing them.<br />
<br />
9. and I can't talk to anyone over 5'6 (with a few exceptions) because they make me nervous.(I'm not even 4'10")<br />
<br />
it says I need to tag 9 people but I don't think I wan to bother any of my friends with that. just do it if you want.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know what kind of sick-twisted VH1 industry bastard decided it would be a good idea to show all nine cyles of ANTM one right after the other, but damn them straight to hell. God knows that show is my guilty pleasure so now I can't even sleep because I don't want to miss an episode. (As I type this, I have my laptop set up next to the TV, typing and doing homework during commercials). And of course, I had a lot of things to do this week that I'll have to do during the episodes that I've seen more than once. <br />
<br />
oh yeah, new years was pretty good (I saw the first sunrise of the year). so was xmas.<br />
<br />
....I got enough tea to last me the rest of the year, ...and I have yet to procure my final copy of Genshiken. sigh.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Goddamn Christmas spirit...<br />
<br />
I barely had a chance to start making presents for my friends when for some reason I felt, out of the good of my heart, I should voluntarily make costumes for the Church's Christmas pageant. So now I'm stuck making 8 children's costumes.<br />
<br />
Why the Hell did I think that was a good idea? Did I not learn my lesson this summer when I made those SIX Tales of the Abyss costumes? I guess not.<br />
<br />
And now all of a sudden, I don't have time to even apply for college. (I'm deciding betwen PNCA and PSU, for anyone who is curious). Hell, I shouldn't even have time to be posting this! I think I'm a little too ADD...<br />
<br />
gyargh. It's summer all over again... except in a more concentrated dosage. I guess this'll be a week without sleep...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
why do I keep getting pageviews? I'm barely active!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I GOT SILENT HILL 1!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
ah, and just in time for Halloween, but my mother seems to be holding it hostage until I get some work done. ^^' <br />
<br />
So anyway, looking through an isse of anime insider this week, I realized that I've gotten really out of the anime loop. I made a list, consisting of 22 anime that I had heard of, were popular, or I wanted to see, but still haven't. Now I am going through this list and watching each series in the easiest method possible,whether it be legal or not. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I am one of about four people on the erth who still have dial-up internet (the other three are orphans in third world countries, but the peace corps will be supplying them with DSL shortly). With dial-up, it takes me 4.5 hours to watch a single episode of anime. This weekend, I watched 5.5 episodes of anime on my computer. And thank God for Clark Anime for bringing me Claymore so I don't have to wait for it on my compi.<br />
<br />
<3 Claymore. X3<br />
<br />
Gurren Lagann: It's pretty good but I won't watch anymore til they start showing it at Clark in about 8 weeks.<br />
<br />
Le portrait de petite Cosette: MUST WATCH MORE! It's only 3 episodes so I thought I could finish it this weekend...CURSE YOU DIAL UP!!!!<br />
<br />
XXXholic: it's fun, but I need to move on to other series<br />
<br />
Fate/Stay night: The first episode Dissapointed me. All that waiting for nothing...<br />
<br />
Black Lagoon: I love's it! I think I'll try and borrow the DVDs from my classmate...<br />
 <br />
Claymore: kick ass.<br />
<br />
Anime quest: 27% complete<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Looking for colleges and scholarships and stuff is getting me frustrated so I've made up my mind. I'm not going to college. I'm going to join Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
Why? Beause Team Rocket is one of those organizations that still has a cool uniform. Screw waitressing. And hopefully by stealing innocent people's pokemon, I can make a little cash on the side to go to a good college and maybe earn a position at Sylph Co. <br />
<br />
Yes, I think this is my true calling. I'm not meant to be an artist or a fashion designer, or a translator. I'm going to become the greatest rocket grunt ever<br />
<br />
(seriouly, wouldn't it be funny if 20 years from now you were playing Pokemon Chrome or Whatever the latest game will be and there will be a short, black girl in a rocket uniform and the screen would say "Rocket Grunt Pockee wants to battle!"?)<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ tagged by ~Rietalienko<br />
<br />
Rules: The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 Weird Habits//Things About Yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 Weird Habits//Things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "You are tagged" in their devPage comments and tell them to read yours...<br />
<br />
<br />
6 Weird habits:<br />
1. Apparently when I draw, I occasionally look out of the side of my eye.(I don't notice this but everyone else does)<br />
2. I squeak at the end of the running long jump.<br />
3. When I'm by myself I tend to sit around thinking about stuff for hours.<br />
4. I prefer to be alone, but whenever I'm alone, I sit around and get angry at my friends because they don't invite me anywhere.<br />
5. Whenever I think of an embarassing moment, I wiggle a lot our laugh out loud at myself about how stupid I was.<br />
6. When I talk to teachers and other people of authority, I tend to keep my hands together and stand with my toes pointing inward.<br />
<br />
6 Things about yourself:<br />
1. I'm so short and childish, I find it wasteful not to act like a little girl.<br />
2. I HATE anime noobs... Even though I'm 2nd in command at my school anime club which is completely comprised of the like.<br />
3. I eavesdrop on people. . . . a LOT.<br />
4. I thoroughly enjoy verbal abuse, especially racial slurs.<br />
5. When I walk home from school, I spend my time thinking of ways I'd like to die at an early age.<br />
6. um.... I don't know. . . oh! I'm really indecisive! there's one!<br />
<br />
okay well...I tag:<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED by ~<a class="u" href="http://xkaix.deviantart.com/">xKaix</a><br />
So, start with six weird things/habits about yourself and then the people you tag need to write a journal of their own with the six weird habits/things about themselves. <br />
You must copy and paste this rule at the top when tagged (change the name of who tagged you of course)<br />
After you're finished you need to choose six people to be tagged and list their names at the bottom. <br />
Dont forget to leave a comment that says "You're Tagged!" in their comments and then tell them to read your Journal..<br />
<br />
1. The middle toe on my right foot is shorter than all the others and moves only in the same direction as the big toe<br />
2. Sometimes I give my self short term memory loss<br />
3. I have a freckle on my left eyeball<br />
4. Sometimes I forget what I'm doing and can spend multiple hours pacing around my room just thinking of stuff.<br />
5. In public restrooms, I will never use the stall closest to the door, subconciously.<br />

For anyone who doesn't know, my sweet innocent little Angel has been injured. The cost to treat her will probably be spendy but I 'll do anything for her. If you contribute to the Save L.A. Fund I will send you cute pictures of me wearing Sailor fukus.... unless you find that disturbing. Then I can offer you my undying gratitude and worship. oh yeah, and it would be nice if I can get money before march 12th. I need her for Sakura-con.<br />
<br />
Much thanks. It's either this, or selling me virginity on ebay.<br />
