Or At least I will in three weeks during Thanksgiving Break! Yay! Can't wait!

I might be updating with another journal soon... I emailed the agent that wanted my full Manassas manuscript and apparently he didn't realize he hadn't gotten back to me. This was earlier in the week. He said that he'd get to my manuscript this week and get back to me, so hopefully within the next few days I'll have something good to tell you guys...

Oh, btw, for those of you that followed the Angelic series my friends and I were doing, here's the final part to it. [link]

Uh.... yeah... I don't really have much else to say... sorry i'm so boring guys Wish I had something else to talk about... Anything you guys wanna know?

God Bless!

sorry i haven't been active lately on dA or even in ... I hate that i can't be, but i've had lots of stuff going on. things seem to have hit a lull right now though... kinda scared cause i know everything will pick up soon and things will crash in my face... again... but yeah. I finally have a little freetime, so i thought i'd update my journal for the first time in a while.

To be honest, i don't have much to say... well, actually, i have a lot to say, but i don't have much that i care to start talking about. This last weekend I started working on this project for my early western lit class. Originally I was going to write two love poems in the style of shakespeare and some other random poetry ppl. Then I got an idea... the only problem was that it had to do with drawing haha and that's def a weak point for me, but i decided to do it anyway. I'm writing a comic (not saying anything about it). It's really short, but once I finish it i'll def post it. It's not turning out that badly... i'm basically teaching myself how to draw haha. I've been using on tutorials on dA that have been really helpful. So, yeah

Let's see.... I haven't technically started formal testing in kung fu, but i'm always testing in a sense. Dunno when i'll get black, but hopefully it will be within the next few months . as for Jujitsu, I've pretty much delved into the realm of testing for Blue/Red belt. So far only my forms have been formally tested. I have one more to go, Tonfa, my weak point. Then i have the two double forms to go through. Unfortunately my testing buddy/awesome training partner is out because of kidney stones... sux.... but yeah, i have no idea what's going to be going on for the rest of my testing.

So i realized the other day that i never continued that "choose your own path" poetry thing i was doing. I'll get to that soon enough haha. i haven't forgotten i've just been so intent on everything else that's been going on. I'm still waiting to hear something from the agent on Manassas... no news is good news, i suppose that hasn't stopped me from continuing to write *winkwink*

uh.... yeah, that's about it... anybody have anything you wanna talk about?

God Bless!

Okay, now, what's been going on with me... well, last weekend i pretty much had a breakdown. I was working at a day camp saturday and sunday that my mom runs for children who have lost loved ones. it lasted from about 7 in the morning to 6 in the evening. in other words, i was really tired by the time i got home. the bad part about that was that I had so much homework... I had four calculus assignments due on monday, tuesday, and wednesday, some physics homework due wednesday morning, two literature assignments due tuesday and thrusday, an organic take home quiz due wednesday, and an organic test later in the day wednesday. basically it got really really overwhelming. My friends and family were supportive though, at least those who knew what was going on. usually i don't tell ppl about stuff unless i get super irked and they asked. anyway, everything is over and i'm actually a little bit ahead of the game now. I can actually get even more ahead if i really want to. I want to, but i'm trying to catch up on some other stuff right now. so i'm definitely just chillaxing right now, taking it all in. I'm looking forward to tonight at kung fu cause for once in a long long time i'm actually going to be able to concentrate and have fun

Oh, btw, good luck to ! he's testing for black belt in karate tomorrow!

So, yeah, i'm 20 now. no longer a teenager. It's going to be weird to have to stop thinking of myself as a teenager and start thinking of myself as being in my early twenties. oh well, i'll get used to it!

I know i haven't been writing much lately. Sorry about that I have had so much going for me that i had to cut down my internet time (which is super hard for me.) My lovely, wonderful friends (~EhVed-Eloah and ~MystikEye) and I are working on a series that seems to be turning out quite interesting! Check it out!

Part 1 ~ [link]
Part 2 ~ [link]
Part 3 ~ [link]
Part 4 ~ [link]
Part 5 ~ [link]
Part 5 ~ (coming soon from ~MystikEye...)

Please, if you like it, watch my friends (even if you don't like it, watch them anyway haha they are awesome! )

Oh, yeah, in case you were wondering... i didn't break the babies! haha actually, i still have one more baby to hold... I'm sure i won't break her either though! ()

That's what's been going on in my life lately. I'm really excited about having this weekend to chill. Well, not completely chill because I have two tests next week, but regardless of that, I'll be happy to just not have to worry about everything like i did last weekend. At least i'll have a weekend this time haha.

Let's see... martial arts.... just finished Dragon in my Kung Fu class. I have Sanchin breathing left to learn then i'll be officially/formally testing for my black sash! I also just got my third green stripe in Jujitsu, so now i'll be testing for blue-red belt in there. I'm a little worried about that, but not too much. it'll be fun Not much else to say on that front actually, ~EhVed-... ]]> ~jesusroxgirl http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/27354525/ http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/27354525/ Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:27:15 PDT

I'll come back and update this or write a new one soon when everything calms down for me. It's been a pretty touch week (not like it's been much diff from the past 4 weeks haha)

Anyway, love you guys! hope you guys have a great day!

God Bless!

Yeah... I guess God was like... well, imma send something nice along her way. maybe that'll cheer her up. haha. well, it has made me smile quite a few times

Random story time! I was at the student center and had to go to the bathroom. I walked in the stall and this huge cockroach crawled out from under one of the other stalls. I started stomping my foot to scare it off, but the stupid thing ran towards my foot! Needless to say, i was kinda freaking out... i got out of there as soon as possible haha. Then i warned my roommate about it so she wouldn't go in that same bathroom... it was... gross...

okay, okay, okay... i have another epic granny quote... Uh.... imma have to explain this one too haha xD
Granny: "I practice safe sex!"
haha, okay, my brother was the one that heard this actually. he was about to walk downstairs and heard my granny talking to my mom, and this was the only thing he heard. she was actually talking about a question a doctor asked her haha.

On Sunday I had an epic adventure at a friends house. Okay, well, it wasn't really an adventure.... actually, yeah, adventures are fun, so imma claim it to be an adventure. Anyway, this friend and his wife just had a baby girl a few weeks ago. They live with another couple who just had twin girls about two weeks, give or take, before their baby. Well, I went over their with another friend of mine who goes there a lot just to hang out. I'm not really what i'm saying actually. uh.... well, i had a lot of fun. and babies (otherwise known as hoomen larva) are fun and cute and i def wanna hold one at some point. I just get scared when i'm around babies. I'm afraid imma break them or something haha. but yeah, i wanna go back soon cause i enjoyed hanging with my friends and meeting new people and talking about Biblical/religious topics with a largely historical viewpoint. i love ancient history, so i'm game with that kind of stuff. i just don't talk much... eventually i will though ...maybe >.>

Everyone seems to be getting sick already. It's just now September! what's with that? kinda scare i'm next haha. at least i have Monday off for labor day! yay!

oh, that reminds me... my birthday is coming up soon! will officially be leaving teenagehood! kinda sad but exciting!

I haven't gotten anything from any agents yet... By around the 17th i should have heard from the guy that wanted the entire manuscript... hope he likes it and wants to represent me!

I was really on my game in jujitsu tonight! it was awesome! i was remembering things, preforming things well, and I was happy! I got to work with good friends of mine, so it was a good night overall! unfortunately, one of my classes might interfere with Thursday nights for me... I'm going to try to get out of it as much as I can since i'm testing for black sash. I was able to get out of it last thursday... hope she'll understand...

Well, i don't have much else to say... how is everyone else doing? busy, i'm sure ~jesusroxgirl http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/26826082/ http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/26826082/ Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:25:13 PDT
A lot of things seem to be going wrong or badly for me since i moved onto campus last night, but today took the cake.

I woke up about 12 and got ready to go down to registration. Doing it twice b4, i felt it was old hat and that i wouldn't have a problem. I was dead wrong. it started out with me getting my schedule. I didn't have much of a chance to look at it, but from what i saw, one of my classes was changed to Tuesday and Thursday. You'd think that wouldn't be a problem, but originally, i had made my schedule so i'd have a free day on Thursday to do homework and sleep in. So much for that...

I went to the next table. I find out that apparently I owned $27.26 for tuition and stuff. That wasn't supposed to have happened. I guess one of my loans of scholarships was reduced or something. So i went to the next table and ended up having to write a check for it, but i felt like an idiot cause it was the first real check i'd ever written so i was all like... "uh... do i sign here?" gosh, i'm a fool...

Originally i was going to go to the bookstore and pick up my books, but i needed a schedule to do that and the office ladies took both of mine. they told me i could go print it off of this website from my computer. So i was like, okay, i'll go do that then.

Now, mind you, my room is on the fourth floor, and i use the stairs. the elevator just scares me cause it's really old haha. Plus the stairs are quicker. This was trip one today.

So i get to my room and boot up my computer. I go to the website and try to log on. "your account does not exist." um... okay... so i tried about three different things, asked several different ppl (who, btw, were able to access their accounts easily.) Nothing worked. So i'm thinking, "crap, what do i do now? Oh, i know, i bet the IT ppl will know."

So I make my way back down the stairs... The tech ppl are in the basement of the place i went for registration, so i headed over there. i came in and told them i couldn't log in, so they told me to use their computer and try it. so i did... it worked perfectly. well, again, i felt like an idiot. They told me to go get my computer so they could see what's going on.

So i go back up the stairs completing trip two today. I get to my room and pack up my comp then head back down to the IT techs.

I boot up again and wait for the little network access thing to pop up so i could log it. when i shut down my computer, it always logs me out... except this time. so again, i felt like an idiot when the guy was like, uh, you're already logged in (this being after staring at the screen for like ten minutes.)

Anyway, he figures out what's wrong relatively quickly. Apparently this code that i had to put in for a DNS server I have to use for my home makes stuff not work on the college network. So he took that off meaning that every time i go back and forth from school i have to add and remove the key numbers.

I thank the tech people and head back up to my room so i could print out my schedule. That completes trip three of the day.

I print out my schedule and see another unfortunate thing. i actually have two classes on thursday now. one of my other classes, the 8 'o clock one, decided to move to thursday as well. just great.

anyway, i picked up my money and started to make my way down to the bookstore. On the way, i actually got to see a friend of mine. We actually don't really know each other very well, but i thought it was cute 'cause he was about to walk away, but he saw me coming and stopped and pretended to mess with his phone. then when i got right behind him he turned around and was like, "Oh! Hi!" haha cute. I talked with him for a minute then went to get my books.

So i get to the store and the first book i look for is out. they said they'd get some maybe tomorrow, so i have to come back and check. Then i go look for my calculus book. I had actually saved my book from last year and was going to use it this year to save some money, but lo and behold, they changed books. so i had to get a new one.

While I was waiting in line to pay (which took forever but believe it or not was the least hectic part of my day...) my mom called me and said that she was relatively near me and wanted to know if i wanted her to pick me up and bring me home until jujitsu tonight. I thought about it for a minute and realize there was real food at home, so i agreed. she said she'd be there in about twenty minutes or so.

I walked out after buying my books and another friend of mine had actually been waiting on me cause he just wanted to chat and catch up. eventually i invited him up to my room to hang until my mom got there.

So i headed back... ]]> ~jesusroxgirl http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/26592015/ http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/26592015/ Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:52:19 PDT
There's not much to update about my preciously journalized situation. My dad and I talked a little bit, but he was never really the problem. My mom has seemed to cool off a bit, but she tends to do that then fire right back up. I'm just enjoy the relative peace atm. I just want to thank all my friends for their continuous comfort and support. Love you guys!

So i've been writing a lot of random poetry lately. I have a feeling i'll be writing some more as well. I blame ~EhVed-Eloah for that one.

I really don't have much to say, but i wanted to write a new journal entry. Um.... as per Manassas, i haven't gotten anything back yet or anything new, so I can't talk about anything excited for that yet.

I joined a new club. ~dAWriterStrike. It's for lit writers that feel neglected. It's a new club and I really want it to get off its feet, so please join if you're a lit writer. We'd love to have you!

I'm going to have pizza tonight! yay! i love pizza! I don't know why i'm telling you guys this, but now ya know.

I miss the old Nickelodeon shows that used to be on. Rocko's Modern Life, As Told by Ginger, Ren and Stimpy, Are You Afraid of the Dark (which i like to watch online), The Secret World of Alex Mack, Aaahh!! Real Monsters, Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, Clarissa Explains it All, All That (the oldies), Kenan & Kel, Rugrats, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo, The Journey of Allen Strange, My Brother and Me, and all the good old television shows... I miss the days TV was good.... Now, don't get me wrong, there are some shows that are great. I'll be watching Monk and Psych tonight, as a matter of fact, but TV used to be all good....

Okay, rant done haha Um.... I got nothing else to say.... there was some tagged thing i was supposed to do, but i forgot which watcher tagged me sorry.... if you read this, send me a link and i'll add it!

love you guys!


God Bless!

Okay, so i have a friend, my best friend as a matter of fact. To lay it out plainly, he's about nine and a half years older than me and married. We see each other in Martial Arts about four days a week. We also see each other on another day when we go help our instructors out with housework. We also chat on the internet and text occasionally. He is the kind of person who is... for lack of better words, handsy, when it come to ppl he knows. So he'll hug me, put his head on my shoulder, pinch me...etc. That's just the kind of person he is. I'm sure you guys know at least one person who is like that.

Now, there are two sides to this... rift, i suppose.

Mutual friends and people who know us well...

They don't see anything wrong with us hanging out. We're friends... that's what friends do. We're not breaking any Commandmends. He's not being unfaithful or anything. He is handsy with a lot of his friends, as I mentioned before. Everyone needs to have someone they can talk to and rely on when the crap hits the fan and when the sun shines. Now, since these people are good friends of both of us, sure, they might be a little biased, but they know who we are and understand that we're doing nothing wrong.

My family and their friends...

This is the kicker. Yes, my own family is against me. My mom just broke into a random talk today at dinner (which inspired the poem I wrote as well as this entry.) She was saying pretty much the same thing she had been all along. It's just not right. Me hanging out with a married man is just not right. If he had any respect for my parents or for me, then he'd lay off. He's entirely too handsy with me. I shouldn't be spending time alone with him. I shouldn't be having as much contact as I do with him. I shouldn't be staying up late and talking on the net with him or texting him at all. One text is okay occasionally (one text? what kind of conversation is that?) I shouldn't be alone with him. He's a man, and it's not right. It looks bad when other people see me with him. I'm never going to get a boyfriend because people see him with me. It's not healthy for either of us. Mom is concerned. Dad is concerned. Keith (a parent friend of theirs from my dojo) is concerned. My mom's work friends don't think it's right. My brothers think he is "after me." Both of my brothers think we are having an affair or something preposterous like that. Apparently I'm wallowing in a bed of sin because I have a friend.

Rebuttal - So apparently, it's wrong for me to have a best friend. (no, you spend entirely way too much time with him... uh... in the past week, I went out with 6 friends, all guys, mind you. Then the following day I went out with one of them alone in a canoe. Then the day after that I went to a friend's wedding where I hung out with about 10 or 12 friends who I hadn't seen in a while. Earlier that week I had spend the entire day with my cousins from Cali. Oh yeah, and Sunday i'm hanging out with two friends who I hadn't seen in over six months. Yes, I see him at least four days a week... so sue me if we're both in the same martial arts class at the same time. It's not like I go there specifically to see my friends. I enjoy seeing them, but that's not why i'm there. I'm there to train and develop myself.)

It's wrong for me to talk to my friend. (no, you just need to talk to your other friends... um... generally at night, I'm talking to an average of three to four other ppl. Also, I don't stay up all night talking to him. Yes, I've stayed up late, but i've never stayed up all night with him. I've stayed up practically all night talking and webcamming with another friend, all the while i'm messaging with one or two more people. They don't know that though. they just think i talk to him all the time and have no friends.)

Having a friend that I hang out with a lot is going to prevent me from getting a boyfriend. (no, it's just that people will see you with him and think you are taken... taken?... okay, first off, I don't want a boyfriend right now. I'm not in a position to have one. I have a lot of other stuff going on, you know, important stuff like college, that i need to concentrate on. Having a boyfriend would just be distracting. Secondly, just because people see me with him doesn't mean that they think he's my boyfriend. That's an assumption. [well, most people are going to make that assumption... uh... that's an assumption too...] Thirdly, I don't need any help getting a boyfriend. I haven't tried to get one. yeah, there are some guy friends of mine that i wouldn't mind going on a date with, but they aren't asking and i'm not going to push them. That's just not me.)

Spending time with my friend is wrong. (no, you... ]]> ~jesusroxgirl http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/26360301/ http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/26360301/ Mon, 03 Aug 2009 13:48:30 PDT

I've been thinking up a bunch of prose short stories to write lately... I haven't worked on them much. I've just had a lot of ideas. You might be seeing some soon if i can get the drive up to work on 'em.

Haven't gotten anything back on Manassas lately. Not much else to say about that.

I've been playing the sims 3 lately and i've been getting annoyed at it because it keeps freezing on me. I have to save constantly. Sometimes I can play for 3 or 4 hours without it doing anything. Then again, sometimes I can only play for a few minutes before it freezes. I hope they come out with a patch soon to fix it... whatever it is.

I've been on an Evanescence kick for the past few weeks. I need to get some of their other CDs. I'm killing the Fallen CD. They have a new album coming out soon. So does Skillet... and Relient K.

I really don't have much else to say, to be honest. I mean, I could vent about how my mom cleaned my bathroom yesterday... again... It wasn't dirty. Her excuse was that it had a week's worth of dust on it. No it didn't. Whatever. Or I could talk about some other stuff that some ppl know about, but i don't feel like talking about that either. What should I talk about?

Wow, i'm sorry. this entry has been really boring -.-...

I've noticed that like last week or week before last i was getting 50-100 pageviews a day. And not it's only 20. Haha. easy come, easy go I suppose.

Uh..... gee, i'm hungry...

So, how's life everyone?

I just did a collab with ~IIIXII! I had tons of fun doing it. He is awesome and I am so glad I got to work with him! here's a link to both my upload and his: mine ~ [link] his ~ [link]

well, there ya go. that's why I was updating my journal. Collabing is fun! if anyone else wants to try to do a collab with me just note me! woohoo! :woot:

Yeah, so... what can i talk about.... I haven't really had the best past few days. It's interesting cause at the beginning of the week i was having an awesome time! everything was going great... then thursday evening, everything crashed... It's weird because I had some good stuff happen to me, but the bad stuff annoyed me so much that it pretty much took over...

but...

I'm fine now! I've been having a great day! I think stuff started looking up for me after my nap this afternoon... my shower helped too. Then I just chilled out and played the sims 3 until my computer froze which it does sometimes with that game. I just got off the phone with my cousin who sounds oddly like one of my friends i've been talking to lately. it's kind of creepy... my cousins flew in from Cali like yesterday or something. they are going to visit with us tomorrow and tuesday. I'm excited because I haven't seen them in 9 years. I'm mainly excited to see Michael. he's the one that i got to know when he was up here last time. that was a long time ago... he's... a heck of a lot bigger now i'm sure haha. apparently his sister, who's like... ten... wants to meet me haha. she was a baby when they came up last time.

gosh, my mom is in cleaning in my bathroom right now (which is connected to my room.) she doesn't stop talking... gah -.- she's complaining about how my sink top is so messy... to her maybe... she's like, "I want it neat." and i'm like... umm... it's not your bathroom... you don't come in here. gosh, she annoys me. she's one of the things that put me in such a bad mood in the past few days. she doesn't stop talking. she thinks i'm four. she thinks she has to do stuff for me. she thinks i'm not responsible... whatever. when she "cleans" my sink i'll just go put stuff back the way it should be. blah blah dang, she won't shut up... how does that woman think of so much stupid stuff to say? she can complain about me and my stuff all she wants but that's not going to change anything.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shut up!!!!!! wow, i'm sorry.... see, this is why i get so annoyed -.- of course, the first day i feel great, she has to come and be....her... geesh...

okay, imma try to ignore that... um... what else to talk about...

uhhhhhhhh.... lalalalalala *tries to ignore mother* blah blah *turns up music* *turns on "How to Save a Life" cause she hates that song* *waits to see how long until she notices*.................................................................*is surprised she hasn't said anything yet* .............................................*wonders why she's talking about if my cousin talked to me or not* .....................................................*okay, i need something to talk about* ...........*i want ice cream but i know if i get ice cream my mom will ask why i haven't eaten the cake she made today*........................ *song is almost over and she hasn't said a thing*..........*I'm impressed at her ignorance*......... *I think she has selective hearing*......... *my brother does, so i wouldn't doubt she would too*.......... *now she's complaining again and calling my stuff junk*..... *wow, songs over and not a word* *turns on skillet and evanescence*

I like condensed milk. That stuff if is good. It is so rich and creamy and sweet.... delicious! i want some now! i'd like to have some homemade ice cream too. i love that stuff. it looks like mashed potatoes when it comes out but freezes your mouth off. then if you put it in the freezer, you have to use an ice pick to get it out haha. it's awesome!

well, i'm done now. Peace out!

God bless!

Tuesday
For some reason I was abnormally bored in the afternoon. The weirdest thing was that i woke up thinking that it was going to be a great day. I never do that. Anyway, I didn't feel like watching TV, but i did it anyway. normally i'm on the computer at the same time, but instead, i started making yarn necklaces and timing myself on them. I tried two different types and found out i can make one in half an hour and one in an hour. Not very interesting, i know, but it occupied me until class time.

Then I get to my jujitsu class. We had a total of seven students, including me. It was the largest class we'd had in a while. We were actually missing several people as well. We picked up some new students too. I just hope that they continue to come. The class was pretty nice. Not much else to say.

On the way home, I got this sudden burst of energy. I started singing the "peanut butter jelly song" and rocking out in the backseat. my parents thought i was crazy... honestly, i thought i was too haha. when i got home, after taking a shower, I turned on some music and started dancing all around me room it was crazy. I was crazy. I danced for like twenty minutes straight. i have no idea where the energy came from. I hadn't had any sugar (except two Dr. Peppers about five hours earlier or so.) Regardless, i was spazzing for quite a while. Even had to change clothes cause i got all sweaty from dancing haha.

Later that night i fought with technology to webcam with someone. The mics didn't work, so we ended up just doing video and instant messaging each other. Wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I stayed up a bit too late though... But i didn't stay up late enough to where I would be exhausted.

Wednesday
Wednesday was tons of fun. I woke up again thinking to myself that it was going to be a great day. The funny thing is, I had so many icky things happen to me or almost happen to me, but it still ended up being a great day.

I went with my best friend to one of my MA instructors's house. We painted some of his barn for him then just hung out the rest of the day. I had several mishaps though. Almost right when i stepped out of the car, i slid down some grass/gravel. then when we were walking to their house, i nearly fell because i stepped on the hose and it rolled out from under me. I had quite a few other trips, but nothing consequential. I did end up with around 30 mosquito bites, though... That was the worst part about it. Over all it as a fun night. we stayed for dinner and played some video games with them and just talked.

Then we headed home. After taking a shower, i checked my email. I was shocked at what i found! I had two replies for Manassas! One agent wanted me to snail mail him the first three chapters, a synopsis, and an author bio. The second wanted the entire manuscript! he had read the first chapter and said that it was "interesting and well written". Personally, i think the first chapter is one of the worst, but hey, if he likes it then to each his own. I got really excited but also worried. I had made corrections on the hard-copy i have of the novel, but not on the computer yet. So i started transferring corrections. I ended up webcamming with a couple of people, so i didn't get as much done as i wanted, but i figured i'd just do it the next day.

Thursday
I stayed up later than i should have last night too, but regardless, i woke up and thought to myself that today was going to be a great day. I was actually doing that as an experiment because i realized that i felt great the past few days when i did that. So I got on my computer to start the rest of my corrections. I checked my email first and got another email from the guy that wanted the entire manuscript by email. He said something to the extent of "I haven't heard from you, are you still willing to send?" well, i freaked out because i didn't have it ready and i knew that it would look bad if i told him that it wasn't finished yet, so i wrote him back and told him i'd have it to him by night... well, i had class at 6, so i only had a few hours to finish the rest of it. I flew through the rest of it like crazy. Right before supper i sent it off and felt a huge relief on myself. I'm really excited to see what's going to ha... ]]> ~jesusroxgirl http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/26073718/ http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/26073718/ Mon, 20 Jul 2009 19:37:16 PDT What are you talking about? You're crazy.



I'm crazy? Well, you're watching me right now. You're reading this text, interested in my thoughts. Ever day you are being watched whether you know it or not. The way you act around others is the way ppl get their first impressions of you. You might not think that doing something had an impact, but it did. As Christians, knowing this is especially important. We should be good examples, not cursing, not getting drunk, not being rude. We should stand out in the crowd, not try to blend into it. Don't be afraid to be who you are.

This goes for everyone, if you see someone pass you by, smile at them. In the car, smile or wave at the person who's stopped at the light next to you. You have no idea what kind of impact it could make on them. They could be having the crappiest day ever until you smile at them or wave. Maybe they are contemplating ending their life... But with one wave from you, they could realize the world isn't as bad as it seems.... Or someone could be having a great day, then you smile at them, and they end up passing that smile on, making an impact elsewhere.

You are being watched....



yeah, so, now that i have that out of my system... i have a few things to just chat about.

so when i was in church yesterday i started thinking about those few moments right before you go to sleep... twilight sleep essentially. All of your senses seem to heighten, but you can't do anything about them. I mean, you can't smack yourself, you just have to wait for the moment when you snap back into reality. I was just wondering why that happens to your sense. i guess it's the whole... lose one (sight i suppose when dealing with sleep) then the others get better. i dunno... just a random train of thought.

k, now i have a couple of questions to answer...

first question was posted by ~Breandan ~ "I would like to know the best (full) meal you ever had, or would like to have."

• To be honest, I don't know... I love food and pretty much eat almost all the time. if ppl ever call me on a whim, then generally they will catch me while i'm eating something. But to answer your question, if i had to choose, i'd have to say whenever I go to Ryan's Steak House. I generally get rice, plain spaghetti, mac and cheese, and mix it all together with ranch dressing... weird, i know, but i find it tasty and quite filling lots of carbs haha. Most ppl would probably say that their fave meal was a homecooked one, but generally i don't like most homecooked meals 'cept the ones my mom makes.... and even then it's the same thing most of the time because i'm so picky haha.

second question was posted by ~StrengthInWeakness ~ "How is you love life these days lol."

• strictly speaking in the romantic sense... it's practically nonexistent haha. To be honest, I've only ever had one "boyfriend"... and i say that with quotes because it really wasn't anything serious.... just two friends hanging out... and i was in tenth grade haha. I've never kissed a guy before (besides my neighbor when i was 3...doesn't count lol.) I've had several guys ask me out, but I've turned them all down... I guess you can say I'm picky with guys too, but that's a good thing. My most important "requirement" for a guy is that they have to be a Christian. It seems like most of the guys i attract are... well, sorry to say it but creeps. Not all of them, of course. Several are actually great friends of mine. I just wish that for once i'd land a strong Christian guy. I'm set to wait though. God's gotta have someone in mind for me.

Anymore questions??? About anything???? I'm open to telling most anything about me, so ask away! Even if it's something like, "How was your day?" or "What does your arm smell like at the moment?" haha i'm ready to answer anything


Oh yeah, i know several of you on here have MSN. I finally got one because one of my friends wanted to webcam with me. Everyone seemed to have one anyway, so i thought i'd tell ya that my address is shear92... ]]> ~jesusroxgirl http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/26033066/ http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/26033066/ Sat, 18 Jul 2009 20:14:47 PDT
I've been sending query letters out like crazy. I've seen about 31 by email so far. I've only heard back from two, both rejections. Doesn't bother me though. I'm planning on getting a bunch of snail mail letters on monday. gonna spend tomorrow getting them ready

I don't really have much else to say. I'd chat about something interesting if i had anything... so, any topics i can chat about for my next journal? anything you'd like to know about me?



God bless!

I really do want to thank everyone here. You guys have really been awesome! Thanks for all your help!

Now, i ask... tell me what you think! I'd love to know your final thoughts!

Now i have some random facts about my time writing the book
WARNING SPOILERS!
There were quite a few things that were spur of the moment, not planned on, with the book. you might find some of them quite surprising:

• the cross necklace - i was trying to figure out what i was going to write for the epilogue and because the person that i modeled Jacob after actually wears a cross, i had the sudden idea to put it in the book. originally it wasn't going to be that big of a thing, but it turned out to be one of the main staples!


• Rodney - i wanted someone he could tell and talk to about the whole situation, so as i was writing chapter 9, Rodney's character came into being. He has some aspects of the person jacob was modeled after, but they are amplified by a million haha


• James' return - originally i was just going to have Jake find out that he is related to him, but in the back of my mind i was playing with the idea of James coming back. Then when ~StrikeAMatch said he liked James' character, i solidified the idea to bring him back.


• James' army status - yeah, i didn't really plan on him being a spy or him being in both the Union and the Confederacy... It just happened. I was just trying to figure out why Confederates were coming to look for him and, well, a spy was born.


• Character switch - originally i was actually going to have James help Jacob to get rid of Kate, but then i decided to mix up the antagonist and protagonist ghost roles for the second time and have Kate actually become somewhat of a good guy.


• cross possession - I had no intension of keeping Kate around, locked inside the cross, but as i neared the end of the book, i thought it would be a good little twist...


• his dad - originally i was going to have his dad play more of a role, but he ended up just being one of the parts of the storyline that just made life seem more realistic.


• Prologue and epilogue - as some of you may remember, i was debating on the prologue being in third person, but originally i wasn't even going to have one... but since i had a prologue, i felt like i should have an epilogue as well... plus it gave me the opportunity tie up some loose ends and open new ones

One thing i want to point out that might not be very apparent to some ppl is the chapter titles. I had a running weather theme to them. if you notice, nearly all of them have to do with weather in some way, and the ones that don't often have double meanings... some of the weather ones have double meanings as well...

And since we're on the subject, i had some reoccurring themes that i hadn't really planned on... these are the ones i can think of:

1. weather


2. water


3. coldness


4. showers


5. shirtless


6. pizza


7. family


8. bed


9. eating

If you can think of anymore just tell me

Uh... I can't think of anything else haha now i'm off to go find some agents, write a query letter, and revise! woohoo! the hard part! haha

Thnx again!

God Bless!

Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot one another.

A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to arrest the two dead boys.
If you don't believe my story's true,
Ask the blind man, he saw it too."

Happy 4th to everyone in the US!

I really don't have anything else to say. Just wanted to write a quick journal to say hi to all my lovely friends Have a great rest of the day/night!!!

Something I've been worrying about ever since i started posting the book chapters online has been that ppl will steal it... i know that's probably a really silly fear, but just to be safe, I own Manassas and everything about it... all copyrighted to me... I own my other stuff too haha, but i've just worried about Manassas mainly

hm... so... yeah, i don't have much else to talk about really... um... I finished the nunchaku yesterday and i'm hopefully going to be starting dragon tomorrow. pretty cool stuff... the last animal form i learn before i get my black sash which has been very strongly hinted to me that that might be this Christmas. Cool, but i'm in no hurry. only think i really want to finish is my book xD haha

so, while i'm writing it, any musings on what's going to happen in Manassas?

And, if you don't read Manassas (which you should xD) then, any plans for July 4th?

And for those of you who don't do either, tell me something i don't know about you...

love you all!
God bless!

I've had an interesting last week. By that i mean that i've had a horrible time getting to sleep at night -.- there has been this mockingbird across the street that starts to chirp at about midnight and doesn't stop til about 5am. I would know this because it kept me up that late... in fact, i wrote several pages in Manassas at 3am because of that stupid thing. of course, i think it has a nest, but i just wish it would know the difference between night and day!

For the past four nights, I've also been having really weird and vivid dreams. They are so detailed and meticulous. Also, i remember then really well. The weird thing is that it was four nights ago when the bird started chirping. I just wonder if there's any connection. Wouldn't be surprised if there was.

Wednesday night i started nunchucks (or nunchaku as i get corrected on all the time.) i was afraid of them at first cause i just knew i'd be hitting myself and others left and right , but i started doing the form and i really like it! i'm excited to learn the rest of it and can't wait until i get really good with them. I think they will be my weapon major in jujitsu. Speaking of that class, pretty soon i'll be testing for blue belt... that's going to be a crap belt for me... i'm so not looking forward to the testing. i have to have improvement in all areas... well, there are a few weapons that i just don't like and never really had improvement with them in the first place, so imma have issues with them. also, we're supposed to be able to get out of the dojo mentality and be able to reciprocate any attack... crap... -.- i'm so bad at that, but i guess that's what practice is for... but how can you practice for the unknown? oh snap, psychological pwnage!!!

While i was trying to go to sleep last night i started thinking about manassas and got some ideas. I think this writer's block is slowly going away. there's really only one part that i'm not too sure about now, so hopefully i'll get my drive back and be able to finish it asap thnx for being patient everyone!

oh yeah, for those of you wondering how the sims 3 is, it's awesome!!!! you need to get it if you haven't or at least find a way to play it! having no load screens is amazing! i really surprised at how smoothly the game runs and everything. They have added at lot of cool stuff with the skill building. you actually get goals to work towards now. there are some things that are annoying, but that's okay. hopefully they will be fixed or changed

Yeah, i got nothing else, atm... peace!

God Bless!

ANYWAY... that was my new years res woo hoo! thnx everyone i should have gone for 8,000 instead haha i didn't think i'd get 5K, but i got it a lot quicker than i expected once i met all my lovely friends and actually started getting involved in the community.

sorry i haven't been uploading much at all lately. like i explained, last week my family did some day trips and stuff. this week i'm working at my church's vacation bible school in the mornings w/ several dozen 3rd & 4th graders just in my class... nearly killed one girl today... well, i didn't, but she called me weak and i was about to toss her and get her in an arm bar. would have loved to do that -.- she won't be there tomorrow though, so i'm hoping things will be a little bit more chill. good news was that at least three children in my class accepted Christ today, so praise God for that

went to the eye doc today. was pretty pointless in my opinion. the guy said the exact same thing as my normal eye doc said. I have thick corneas and my pressure really isn't high. i'm normal... well... my eyes are at least haha

Got a couple of prayer requests for those of you who don't mind. first i'd like everyone to pray for the other children in VBS that God will work in their hearts. secondly, one of my MA instructors who is also a good friend of mine got in a car wreck this past weekend. his friend was driving and someone t-boned them. unfortunately his friend didn't make it. he's okay but has a couple of broken ribs and quite a few bruises. he'll heal, but getting over the loss of his friend will be that hard part. also, i don't believe he's a Christian, so pray that God will work in his life as well. thirdly, one of my bros is heading back to north carolina tomorrow, so pray he makes it safely and everything. and fourthly, a friend of mine is having some personal issues that have been going on for a long time. he's been struggling with this for a while. just pray for peace and trusting in God. thnx

Writer's block has def taken its toll on me. Manassas is driving me nuts cause i really wanna finish it by the end of this month at least, but nothing seems to be coming... plus i need time... probably won't be getting that till this weekend or sometime next week... for a few days at least. oh well.

I had a rough day today. tomorrow should be better. meeting with a friend for lunch so i can vent haha always good love you all and thnx again for everything!!

God bless!

This week is officially "family week" for me... ugh. my family has decided to gang up on me about certain things, and the worse part is, i might not get to go to my dojo every day i usually do I'm not too happy w/ my family right now. not really going to say anything else. i've been way too annoyed lately to get myself any more frustrated.

Writer's block has finally reared its ugly little head in Manassas... i'm working on it, but it might be a while before I post anything... even new poetry...

of course, that's not the only reason i might not be as active... in what spare time away from my family i have i'll be playing the sims 3 which comes out tomorrow i hope i'll be able to get it! i didn't reserve a copy, but i'm sure they'll order plenty. but yeah, i'll be playing that

Not much else to say... just kinda... not been in the best mood as of late. anyway, love ya all!

God Bless!

One thing i was thinking about was how ppl seem to always like me. i've even been told i have a great internet personality. i really don't understand why ppl like me so much even when they don't know me in rl. it's interesting because the ppl that know about my issue w/ my... "inspiration" always tell me that he doesn't deserve me and how he's being a jerk and it's his loss and stuff when pretty much none of you know me in rl... so, i'm just wondering, what makes me likable? just curious.... one of my friends told me it's cause i'm open and listen and because i'm a gamer and martial artist lol what do you guys thing? just wondering

so i found out i have hypertension in my eyes today... it's just high pressure. my mom recently found out she has high pressure too, but since i'm so young it's not supposed to be this high. the doc guy (who is awesome) decided to send me to another doc guy. I'll keep ya updated on stuff when that time comes. they said there is "treatment" but didn't say what... and that creeps me out haha oh well. right now i'm kinda apathetic about stuff.

I cleaned my room really well for the first time in a while today. my mom didn't ask me to do it either. i knew she would at some point soon though. i hate to say this, but i didn't clean it for her though. i cleaned it cause i felt it was getting gross. i'll clean stuff as long as she doesn't ask me... lol

Manassas... a light bulb hasn't gone on yet, but i'm thinkin' about it hard. hopefully i'll get a sudden idea that'll set me off... still hoping to have it finished by mid-June.

so, my newest pic.... i really really like it... and wanna share it... but he won't talk to me. -.- said hey and didn't get a reply then he signed off. ugh... i just hope he doesn't think it's creepy that even though we haven't talked in a while i drew a pic of him haha... *sigh* oh well... i'll talk to him eventually... i hope >.>

I have a lot on my mind right now... not really sure what most of it is either. I'm not really in the best mood atm. things seem to annoy me really easily right now... oh well... things'll get better. always do ^^

much love!
God bless!

http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/24746890/ Wed, 13 May 2009 23:34:08 PDT much better now!

My finals are done! I've officially started summer break! Hurray! Couple of notes about my tests if anyone was wondering. My first one was chemistry. I ended up getting out of there thinking to myself that it was easier than i had expected, but ppl kept coming up to me saying how some of the questions were so hard and how they weren't sure how well they did. well, i kinda of started doubting myself thinking that maybe it was harder than i thought... The grades were posted the next day, so i checked them... to my great surprise, i made a 52/70!!! Haha, i know you're probably thinking... "That's awful... why would she be happy about that?" well, the final was actually a national test that chem students across the country have to take and pass. The average correct was 50 questions right, so to help us, what they did was took whatever score we made and double it. So if someone mad a 48/70 they'd actually have a 96, and a 50 is a 100. Well, since there was the slight possibility of someone making a 140% on the test by getting every question right, they said we could make up to 4% extra credit and anyone who makes a 52 or higher gets their grade in the class automatically boosted a letter. So, needless to say when i saw that i made the cut off of 52 questions, i was ecstatic! I'm pretty sure i made the fourth highest in the class too! The other high scores tied at 54 questions. It pretty much made my day

My other tests seemed to go pretty well too. I don't know what i made on them yet and may not. Next wendesday they will post final grades, so i'll get to see whether i did well on them or not. *crossesfingers*

I've got to say though, God really gave me a peace about everything. As you all could tell, I was freaking out about everything. I was getting sick (eventually ended up losing my voice, still recovering from that), and i didn't really have time to study as much as i should have. the morning of my first final i woke up and just had this peace come over me. I knew it was God. Thank you to anyone who prayed for me. Prayer definitely works

Now I get to explain the fiasco w/ chapt 11 in Manassas.... haha yeah... about that >.>.... well, that evening i check this site my teachers post messages and stuff on. some teachers use it to post grades and others don't. curious, i clicked on my english class. surprisingly there were a few grades posted... one of them had a green exclamation mark that worried me. it gave me no points at all... so i shot my english prof an email, but since it was late, i knew he wouldn't reply until the next day. i started getting really antsy about the whole thing. I hadn't liked this prof since the first day he came into class and said, "So, i hear you guys don't like picking topics... i know! let's do all our speeches and papers on the economy!" the economy is next to calculus on the things-i-most list. anyway, i started to get a little ticked at him and the situation too for some reason... But I had the urge to work on Manassas even though i didn't have any inspiration. I knew it wasn't a good idea, but a friend of mine told me to write anyway... so i did... i ended up hating the chapter and hating melody. ok, be honest.... the original chpt 11 was crap. i know it was. today i decided to go through and tweak some things, but ended up completely rewriting it instead. As I was going through the original version, i realized how much my angst for my prof had driven my writing... kinda was funny in a way. but i like the version i just uploaded a lot better than the other one. sounds more like my writing and is a lot less.... harsh and crappy... haha i also don't hate mel as much as i did. still don't like her though for some reason >.> in short, i checked my email and everything is okay. i got credit for the thing, it just wasn't posted up there.

blah... so many words!!!! sorry! hope you don't get lost in it all I'd do features, but i'm tired... I wanna go to bed. I promise my next journal will have features ^^

I'm definitely plannning on working more on manassas this summer... finishing it, in fact. The good stuff is coming I'll also be doing some more poetry. summer's going to be great

okay, now that i'm breathing (for the most part at least... my nose is s... ]]> ~jesusroxgirl http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/24694600/ http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/24694600/ Sun, 10 May 2009 21:13:08 PDT !!!!

I'm sick with a cold. I'm sick of studying. I've studied all day and yesterday for only one of my tests and i still don't feel ready. My first final is tomorrow and i'm getting super antsy... ugh.... also, i seem to have this angst building up inside of me. There's this person who seem to be ignoring me (has been for a while but then wasn't and now it seems obvious) and i want to talk to him, but he won't talk to me. i really just want to punch something (i promise i'm not a violent person, but sometimes punching things helps me channel my energy... and by punching things i mean like the air, like shadow boxing, or a punching bag). tomorrow i'll be going to kung fu sick with the urge to punch things... hm... bad combo.... or good, depends on how you look at it.

so right now i'm sitting in my bed at home because since my test isn't until one tomorrow my parents said i could spend the night here and one of them could take me back to campus before my test tomorrow. good plan imo. but i have to wake up slightly early to study more -.- i think i'm going to fail because i overstudied... ugh... hate that... and i still have two finals that i haven't even started studying for!!! agh!!!!

I really wanna work on manassas, but i know if i start i'll get super distracted and won't be able to study, so that's just going to have to wait until tuesday evening. my poetry has been on the backburners lately too, but that changed tonight w/ these random emotions that welled up in me haha so crazy and mixed. doesn't make any sense, but that's what i get for being human. of course i'm glad i'm human. Glad God made me the way i am. sometimes things just get crazy. i know He won't throw anything at me i can't handle though. I just need to rant.

I should get to bed, but my fingers really don't wanna stop typing. the only problem is that i have nothing to type. so i guess as i deplete what's on my mind i'll hang up my belt and call it a night. no features this time. sorry. will get around to it when i feel better I promise.

love you all!
God Bless!

college is slowing down now! Tuesday i have my last final and will be going home! yay!

So i have a bunch of poetry littered in my notebook, but i haven't had the willpower to type them up yet. i'll do that as soon as i find the will... or get uber bored... Anyway, I've really been getting excited about Manassas lately. I'm almost halfway done! lol i have so much filler to add... i really hope that what's going to happen will be a surprise to everyone

I have been getting interested in what ppl want to see happen... i'm kinda having writer's block atm. having ppl talk about it seems to help. last night i asked a friend what he wanted to see happen. this is a summary of what he told me:

~"i'd like to see kate's presence be known by like his mom or something. and jacob should get some sort of connection with her. then kate goes crazy and starts to actually hurt him and almost kill him. his mom should get an exorcist and during the ceremony jacob should have a flash of what kate feels and suddenly understand her. then he'll try to stop the exorcise and his mom will be trying to stop him... and see where you can run with that."~

What i'm going to ask you, is what would you like to see happen in Manassas? I'm not saying that anything will influence me, but it might help me out in my writer's block. plus i'd like to see what ppl are thinking so i can see if what i'm going to have happen really will be a surprise So tell me what you wanna see happen!!!!

God bless!

So, here's where i am right now. I have writer's block in Manassas and my poems randomly come to me and imo they aren't very good -.- i just can't see to crank out something that makes me happy nowadays oh well... something will come sooner or later! I hope...

I have two weeks of classes left then two days of finals. I'm so excited about the summer coming! I like my dorm though, being "on my own" and all. Now don't get me wrong, i love my room and home and stuff, but i like to be able to stay up as late as i want w/o my mom coming by and knocking on my door telling me i should get in bed. Ironically, my bed is where i use my laptop, so i'm always in bed! lol

In martial arts i'm learning the tiger form right now. I like it a lot more than i thought i would! In fact, right now i'm planning on majoring in leopard and minoring in tiger! I'll be catwoman! lol and no, i won't wear leather xD

I finally got my rooming stuff all worked out... kinda sux, but it's worked out. one of the other two girls said that she can't afford one of the new good dorms, so we have to live in a really really super old dorm. oh, it gets worse. the other two girls decided that they wanted to live on the fourth floor... and get this... they wanted to live there because it was a pretty view of the city at night -.- what that crap... that's all i have to say... the two rooms we got are actually diff sizes. one's bigger than the other. the girls were going to give my roommate and me the bigger room, but when they resident life ppl wrote it down, they gave us the smaller room instead... So annoying...

i have something else i could rant about, but i already did that to someone else today, so i'll save you guys from having to read that haha.

God bless!

I can't remember the first video game i ever played, to be honest. I know i used to play on the snes a lot. I played mario kart, mario paint, sim city (ironically enough that got me into the sim games)... then A Link to the Past came out. I spent hours watching my brothers play. Then Game Genie suddenly appeared and my brothers told me i should play cause they could make me invinsible so i wouldn't have to worry about the game over screen. I was psyched. ALttP was the first Zelda game I actually played and finished, cheated, of course, but finished nonetheless. Soon Link's Awakening came out. My bros and I played that like mad. We only had one cartridge, so that was fun... xD.

Ocarina of Time came out after a while and we all three played that. It was AMAZING! Still is! I gotta say, i'm still impressed with what Nintendo did to the series. Total 3-D... Wow... sorry, ranting... Anyway, when Majora's Mask came out i played that, but my love for zelda was slowly dribbling out as I started getting a social life in school and such. But after a while, i decided to go back and restart my game, challenging myself to get every single mask (with some encouragement and help from my brother who did the same himself.) Suddenly it all flooded back to me and i became absolutely obsessed. In fact, i made my own character (Shear) and created a whole story and background for her. Then the Oracle of Seasons and Ages came out. I wanted the Ages because, firstly, it was blue, secondly, it concentrated on puzzles and i liked that a lot more than Seasons which concentrated on fighting. So my bro got season and i got ages. I have to say, those have to be two of the best, if not THE best Gameboy games ever created.

And the rest is history... my brothers and I spend hours bonding with the Four Swords adventures. Wind Waker, the remake of A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass.... I can't even describe the countless hours I've spent traveling around Hyrule and its alternative dimensions. I wanna go back and play them all... right now... this minute... Maybe I can do that this summer... I'll have plenty of time to do nothing. It'll give me a fun goal to work towards and some well deserved calluses on my thumbs .

I know there are a lot of you out there that have never seen a zelda game, nonetheless played one, but i'm telling you now... You must play at least one zelda game in your lifetime. I love adventure games. Zelda is the quintessence of adventure games. The new Spirit Tracks game looks... interesting... I can't say that I like the idea, but i haven't had a zelda game disappoint me once, so bring it on Nintendo!

Thank you Shigeru Miyamoto for being my hero and creating the Zelda and Mario series along with many others, and thank you Koji Kondo for creating the wonderful timeless music that makes the games priceless!

Oh wow, that's not what i was planning on talking about in my next journal... i just had the sudden urge to write about my nostalgia moment Next time i'll write about something more... interesting haha.

God Bless!

Okay, done with my crazy ranting... for that at least -.- i had to switch out of my chem lab for today and take it tomorrow (the day i usually have no classes) because i have this freshman honors national club thing i'm joining and the initiation is during the lab time. it's going to feel so weird not going to lab today... hm...

jujitsu is tonight! hurray! i think i'm going to get another stripe tonight. i know i'll definitely be testing for it. I think i'll get it though. what i need to know isn't hard at all... just part of the Jo form. Then i'll be caught of with the guy that i train with in my kung fu class. it's kinda funny how we're always together it's like... we're a package deal haha.

Ugh, i just thought of something else to complain about... i had a calc test today that completely was horrible -.- the old test that i practiced on was relatively easy... but the real thing is never like that... so idk how well... or bad... i did on it. my friends and i are stressing... we divided our stressing up so each of us will be stressing equally... but that made us more stressed cause that was more math haha gosh... when i get my test back friday i will not be a happy camper

I'll go back and do features later. I only have a few minutes until class, but i'm going to go ahead and post it.... i'll edit it later... blah... i think i'm going to go back and write more random stuff... actually, i think i'll make another journal. idk when though cause i won't have time this afternoon... and i think i'll be getting back here late too, so maybe tomorrow... but then again, i might not have time then either haha oh well

God bless!

I had great days thursday and friday. Thursday I spent the day w/ a great friend of mine. we were invited to go keep one of our martial arts instructors calm while her son got his tonsils out, so in the morning we headed over to the hospital. Too bad for him, and ironically enough, he came down with strep throat and the operation had to be canceled. so my friend and i hung out until kung fu later in the evening. it was fun cause we spent a lot of the day outside and i never get to do that. then friday i woke up and went bike riding for a bit, something i haven't done in years. my dad joined me for a lap at one point. then he and i went out back and played catch with a softball. he reminisced about his baseball days while i did the same about my softball ones. our dog was outside too and she really wanted to play, but we couldn't let her off her lease because if she saw anyone she'd chase them and try to bite them. he's a little jack russel though, so she can't cause too much harm... and she's almost 16, so she's not as spry as she used to be. anyway, after helping my mom and dad plant some stuff, my bro came out and all four of us got an old nerf vortex and started tossing it around. we let our dog off her lease cause no one was around, and she played catch for the first time in years and years... she looked so happy we were all afraid that she'd drop dead of a heart attack though. haha at least she'd die happy!

I finally got around to watching x-men and x2. gonna watch x3 asap. possibly tuesday. i know, i'm behind times lol anyway, i really liked the movies. i was proud of myself for recognizing phoenix at the end of x2. i've never read the series or anything too. haha weird, i know.

WARNING! SCIENCE CONTENT!: yes, i just ripped off mythbuster's thing lol anyway, ~googly-googly2 and i were talking the other day about what color a red blanket would be if you put it in a dark room. i just thought i'd share the answer with everyone because i'm a nerd lol my brother actually helped me in figuring this one out. so kudos to him. light is made when an electron jumps down an orbital in the molecule it's in. it releases the extra energy it need to stay in that higher orbital by means of a packet of light called a photon. now, it's true that what colors you see is a reflection of the light bouncing off it, but it's also true that because every molecule has electrons that create photons, everything essentially makes its own light. so, when you put a red blanket in a dark room, what color is it? well, one we can't see! infrared and other colors lower on the spectrum. that's how night vision goggles work. since things make their own light, the goggles don't need light to function. they pick up on the light created by whatever object it's looking at. hope you learned something!

Heh, we'll see what my random thought processes come up with

1. Snapdragon's are my fave type of flower because you can pinch them and their mouths open

2. I'm not a big hotdog eater, but all beef hotdogs are the bomb xD

3. I taught myself how to french braid my hair.

4. I make necklaces out of yarn, but i don't really wear them... I don't really wear jewelry...cept for my abstinence ring.

5. The emote is my fave ^^

6. My favorite color is blue, but i also like green... my least fave is pink and certain types of yellow.

7. The Legend of Zelda is my favorite video game series. Which game is my fave? I don't even know that!

8. My favorite number is 2. I was born on the 22, my softball practice number was 22, my softball number was 2 both seasons i played, and my soccer number was 20.

Bonus: Corn makes me sleepy for some reason XD and i don't mean eating it... i mean watching fields of corn roll by the window in Kentucky... i'm out like a light at the first sight of it lol

TAG:

okay, so i just wanna say that I watched water freeze for three hours straight in my chemistry lab today >.< ugh!

now, requested that I tell my two recipes... here they are...
Shelly Sandwich
I made this one when i was super young... like... 4 or 5 or 6... idk...

Ingredients: Bread, Cheese (optional), lettuce, tomato, pepperoni, and pickles (essential )
My brothers were actually the ones that added the pickles, so props to them. They also found out that it's good when the cheese is melted and bread warmed in a skillet. This used to be the only sandwich i would eat... ever... I'd pile it high w/ pickles too haha. I don't like bread that much : X.

Fried Rice
I got bored one day, so i made my own recipe for friend rice w/ stuff i found around the kitchen lol

Ingredients: rice, eggs, onion powder, garlic powder, oil, salt, pepper, and soy s... ]]> ~jesusroxgirl http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/23866925/ http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/23866925/ Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:54:25 PDT I'm so excited! I get to start learning Tiger now. I'm hoping I will like the form more than I think I will. I haven't really been expecting to like it much, but I've like the majority of the forms that I've learned so far, so we'll see what happens.

My internet at the school has been giving me fits ever since I got back from Spring Break. My roommate has been having problems too, so I know it's not just me. Next time I see someone on my hall I'm going to ask them if they are having issues also because I have talked to someone else from another dorm and they haven't had any problems, so it could just be my dorm. So just saying that I will be on at random times and most likely not as much at night unless they get this thing fixed.

There are these feelings that just bubbled up in me. I can't seem to write a poem to express them. I'm waiting for one to randomly pop into my head cause those are normally my best ones, so you might be seeing a really good poem here in a day or so. Haha.

I just had an idea... I'm going to type something random then let my spell check interpret it. "ed wk loaf Olen w dell eke law knell wean nae pk lade." lol i have no idea what that means

Did anyone see the Denny's Superbowl commercial? The Nanerpuss? Hahahahahahaha that's totally my ringtone. I'm waiting for a friend to call, so i turned it off vibe just so i could hear it lol

I went walking in the woods today. It was fun, but my friend had to go to class at 2, so we had to stop early.

I think it's supposed to rain tomorrow... I love rain

Um... I'm out of things to ramble about... questions? Maybe I should take topics for me to talk about for my next journal haha Suggestions? lol

God Bless!

well, i'm chillin' in AZ write now. On the way here I ended up writing a lot in the next chapter or Manassas. I'm at a pivotal point right now and am not really sure how to present the next suspenseful part. oh well, i'll probably work on it here when i'm done with this.

tonight i'm supposed to go to my cousin's bachelorette party... I'm not really sure how much fun i'm going to have at that... it's not really my type of thing. i'd feel bad for not going though. oh well. I might end up bringing back some interesting stories.

Not really much else to say. kinda want some chocolate. they don't have much to eat here it seems. their house is full of pet hair too. three dogs, a cat, and a rabbit... all long haired haha. they dont have washcloths or anything that don't have hair all over them. it's kinda gross

Yeah, i think i'm going to get some more chocolate.

be looking for the next chapter soon

God Bless!

Today officially starts spring break for me! I'm going to be heading up to my Grandma's house then flying out west with her to my cousin's wedding and to spend some time w/ the family out there. Don't worry, i'll be bringing my laptop, so i'll still be on, but probably not as much. I won't be on tonight and i highly doubt if i'll be on tomorrow or not... we'll have to see...

I'm trying to think of something else to say, but nothing is coming to me right now. I'm just trying to think about what i'm going to pack and stuff.

Oh! Happy Friday the 13th lol

So, i'm still testing in kung fu... i think when i get back i'll probably get it. Right now there are at least 6 promotions, including mine, that are going to be made soon. Some will probably be made when i'm gone, but i'll have my friend to catch me up on AIM for that.

Oh, that reminds me of a funny story. So I started working on the Jo form in kenjitsu last week. I love love love it! It's awesome. I was talking to my friend about how i'm in love with Jo and wanted to ask him out wednesday (haha, inside joke cause whenever guys ask me out i tend to reject them, so you can probably see where the joke comes from). Well, we get to class Wednesday and there is a new guy there. My instructor wanted us to go down the line and introduce ourselves (small class, so we can do that). When it got to him, he was like, "I'm Joe." I almost started cracking up. So much for confessing my love to Jo during the middle of class haha.

Okay, this is random... i don't know why i feel the need to warn you cause most everything else i say is too, but I find the story of Frank Morris' escape from Alcatraz so fascinating! I love the song "Frank Morris" by Capital Lights. It's genius. If you don't know they story, i'd suggest looking it up on Wikipedia or something. You should also look up the song cause it's amazing.

Ya know a show i haven't seen in a while... Time Warp on Discovery Channel... I love that show! Apparently it comes on saturdays when i'm at my dojo... blah, figures. I wanted my dad to see it cause he thinks it sounds neat, but we never get a chance... oh well. maybe new episodes will be coming on soon. I love Mythbusters too. Oh, and i like ghost hunters on sci-fi. Dirty Jobs on DC is hilarious too!

well i guess i better pack some b4 my last class so i can be ready when my dad gets here to pick me up : x

Peace!
God Bless!

It's just that i have to write half of a 1500 word paper and my teacher pretty much told us about it yesterday. I'm not even 100% on what i'm going to write about... I'm thinking the psychological effects of gambling on people. idk though. it has to be something about gambling cause that's the class's topic. oh well, i'll figure it out

Today is such a pretty day here. I love love love love it! God's def giving me a beautiful day to... do homework ... I'd take my lappy outside to write the paper, but because of the light of the screen, even on dim i can't see it very well... i guess i could just take a notebook outside and write... maybe i'll do that for a bit.

So, I've realized that a heck of a lot of people I know are born in March so weird... like there have already been about three or four people that have had birthdays. One of my friend's birthday is today and another one's is friday...which is ironically friday the 13th. So, did you know that if a month starts on a Sunday then there will be a Friday the 13th and you can't have more than 3 Fridays the 13th in a year? This year we have three. Feb, Mar, and Nov. pretty cool, huh?

i'm going to Arizona saturday! yay! next week is my spring break, so i'll be traveling out west for my cousin's wedding. i'll be bringing my laptop though, so i'll still check in I just won't be on as much as i normally am. idk what all i'll be doing there. my uncle is crazy though, so who knows i'm exicted!



oh wow, when i just typed the emotes i just inserted i thought about furbies. remember them? yeah... my used to always say, "dance! boogie!" then make some sort of grunting noise and move back and forth. haha those things were hilarious. I had three. once my brother went into the room they were in at night cause somehow they had gotten turned out and were babbling about something. well, he promises till this day that they said, "Please leave us." Haha! it freaked him out. i thought it was hilarious. he thinks they are demon possessed or something. All three of them are sitting in my closet at home now. The last time i heard them talk was when we were moving into my house four years ago and the movers picked up the box they were in and they woke up and started talking haha it was funny cause as he was walking up the stairs they were like, "whooooaaaaaa." LOL! wow... i didn't think i could talk so much about furbies haha

<--- love that emote. it's soooo cute!

okay, idk how many of you saw this, but the denny's commercial for the superbowl w/ the nanerpuss? yeah, that's my ringtone xD hahahaha "You can call me the nanerpuss, nanerpuss! and guess what! I like pancakes!" HAHAHAHAHA love that. anyway, i thought of that cause my phone just rang (normally i have my phone on vibrate only, so it's a rare occasion when i get to hear my ringtone) and my friend said that he's leaving his house and he might be here within the hour... which means i need to get to work on my paper... sigh... 800 words in an hour... just shoot me

So, i really wanna draw or write something.... any suggestions? lol i can't promise anything good or anything soon, but I thought it would give me a goal to do

I guess i better go and get my work done. Do you ppl really read all my ranting? haha if so, props to you ~jesusroxgirl http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/23540341/ http://jesusroxgirl.deviantart.com/journal/23540341/ Thu, 05 Mar 2009 13:03:42 PST

Shoot i just pushed the little button on the side of my laptop and made my song restart... oh well, i like this song. "An Epiphany" by The Send

When I was younger I always thought that it was "labtop" and not laptop. sometimes i still type "lab" though... like i did in the previous paragraph, but thank goodness for backspace. I also used to think that it was "thingers" instead of "fingers" haha

Backspace is really awesome. I mean, that's one thing i really like about talking to ppl online, you can almost always have backspace rescue you when you need it most you can also look at what you're going to say to someone before you actually say it to them... gotta love technology.

So, i was thinking yesterday how amazing thoughts are. In less than a second you can remember thousands of things all at once. Like right now i could be thinking about my childhood friend and a time we played outside together, a video game I used to make my brothers play so i could watch them cause i was too young to hold a controller and was also freaked out by the words "game over", these shoes that i used to have, the people that are posting in my forum thread, the music i'm listening to and how i got to listen to it, and even my friend in virginia who i haven't really talked to in a while and am still wondering why but yeah, there are so many things... Wow, God's amazing!

I'm going to kung fu tonight! i'm really excited because we didn't have class on monday and i know that one of my friends is getting promoted... and ironically, getting her to promotion level was part of my friend's and my test for brown sash. our shihan said that he wants to see us get promoted when she does, so our promotion can't be too far away ^^ Now, i'm not complaining about being the rank i am now, i just want to learn the last two animal forms that are in brown: tiger and dragon. I'm psyched! xD

Now my mind went completely blank... seriously... like... it was racing with thoughts then all of a sudden it just kinda... died... hmm... oh well, guess i'll go ahead and post this

hope everyone is doing well!

God bless!

I posted chapter 6 of Manassas (finally) and a couple drawings of chars from it. Jacob's hott xD lol anyway, has anyone read the new chapter yet? I'm just wondering cause I haven't gotten any comments on it and i want to know what people think about it and how i can improve it.

I should be doing my homework right now, but, alas, i'm not... i'll get to it when i'm done eating lunch >.> maybe...

so, something that really annoys me is ppl that are waaayyyyy too perky in the mornings... like my oldest brother >.< he's like all up in my face and all, "GOODMORNING, LITTLE GIRL!!!" and i'm all *deck*. nah, i don't really punch him, but sometime i think about it.. X(

my sandwich broke in half

I have this cut on the side of my mouth, like where the lips join in the corner... it hurts... esp when i get pickle juice in it.

there's this one person that i really want to talk to, but i doubt i will anytime soon. he hasn't really talked to me much in a while and i wonder why... I wish i could read his mind.

Last night one of my friends and I got to talking about the different types of attractions b/t ppl. It was essentially a talk about how guys are incredibly physically driven and sometimes can develop emotional attachment. basically the whole thing comes down to figuring out whether a person is true or false by seeing how they react in certain situations.

Then i started thinking about the psychology of caring about someone. Like really, it's a weird phenomenon if you think about it. Now, there are a selfish reasons to care about someone, but when those aren't in play, where does the caring come from? It's just part of that great mystery we call the heart and soul, imo. of course, i'm sure there are biological reasons too, but then how would one care for someone that they have never even met and just talked to over the internet? pheromones can't reach hundreds of miles away. So how can one develop feelings for someone, not necessarily romantic feelings, that they've never been able to be with physically? Is there a part of the brain that is intimately connected to the soul that allows such forces to make themselves shown? Then what is love really? Sure, there can be selfish reasons for that too, but how can someone love someone else? Yes, that has to do with the heart and soul too, imo, and also biological reasons, but what is the essence of love? Could it be just another element like water, fire, earth, and wind, that makes the earth go round? perhaps. if that were the case, then what's the physical manifestation of love? WARNING SUNDAY SCHOOL ANSWER: Jesus, of course. But taking all religious aspects out, what is love? How does it work? How can one love someone and not love someone else? What's the psychology behind love and caring about someone? 1 Cor. 13 may tell the aspects of love, but it never explains what the essence of love truly is. How is it possible that humans such as us can make use of such a complex emotion... or is it an emotion? I think love is a separate entity that abounds all around us. But how is it possible that we can harness it's power? What is its true power? Love is a mystery.

And that's what happens when i don't want to do my homework >.< sorry for the rant...


God Bless!

So last night I got promoted to green belt, the first upper rank, in my jujitsu/kenjitsu class! I was really excited cause I really wasn't expecting it. I still needed another stripe on my belt before i would be officially testing for green, but the headmaster of the school was there and watched me do my stuff and decided to skip me to green! yay! As per students, we don't have anyone in a higher rank than green. Our class is really small and everyone is around the same rank. I think right now there are only 3 green belts, including me. Like i said, small class, but i like it! ^^

So, has been gracious enough to upload some photos of mine from my martial arts. I might upload them at some point, but these come from my account on TrainMA.com. [link] that's a link to it. Here are the pics that were uploaded... you can check out my other pics on that site.

:thumb112629098::thumb112628996::thumb112628854::thumb112628699:

BAH! THUMBS DON'T WORK! THEY WILL THE POSTED IN COMMENTS

Anyway, I'm testing for Brown sash in kung fu right now. Shouldn't be too long until i get it I'm really excited! I should be continuing my formal testing tonight in it. It might be next week or week after next by the time i have it though.

Thnx again to for uploading my pics!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a completely different note, I haven't really had a chance to sit down and write much in Manassas, but I will at some point. College has been out to get me lately (hence all of the poems written during calculus). I've been trying my best to stay on top of my work. I'll spit out a poem every once in a while, but my forma writing has to take a backseat right now. My friend and I did, however, finish our tandem story, or that main plot at least. At some point we're going to have to go back and edit and proofread and sooooo much other stuff, but eventually we're planning on trying to get it published. I'll keep everyone updated

Much love everyone!
God bless!

3. I'm a daydreamer... I constantly daydream about anything and everything... then suddenly poetry will pop into my head and i'll get annoyed cause it interrupted my dream
4. I take Kung Fu, jujitsu, kenjitsu, and a little bit of karate. I should be a black sash in kung fu in about a year or so.
5. I absolutely love the music group "The Fray". A friend of mine introduced me to them... and now every time i listen to them i think of him haha

Manassas Update: I'm working on it little by little... when i can. Homework seems to manifest itself at the worst times, so I haven't really gotten a substantial amount of time to work on it. Also, I'm having a little trouble with figuring what all is going to happen haha. Normally i have a goal I'm working towards and just write w/e till i get there, but this time I know what i want to happen but i don't know how i want it to happen... so it's hard to write to it... oh well, i'm working on it

Let's see... well, i'm bored, so i'm going to just spit out random facts about me and see where convos lead me haha

1) I used to have pet Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches
2) Two of my favorite songs are "You Found Me" by the Fray and "After the World" by Disciple
3) If you ask me what my favorite Legend of Zelda game is, you'll never get a straight forward answer because I can never decide
4) I'm bad at making decisions
5) I go to martial arts 4 times a week
6) Dr. Pepper is my favorite soft drink, but i like mixing it with coca-cola
7) I call that mixture my elixir cause it always tends to make me spazzy and hyper about an hour and a half after i drink it
8) I have two older brothers and no younger siblings or sisters
9) My actual name is Michelle
10) Shelly is a nickname that my brothers gave me when i was born
11) I have a life-size cut out of Captain Jack Sparrow in my room... he holds my MA belts and sashes
12) I laugh a lot... sometimes too much... but ppl don't seem to care
13) I read Nintendo Power... Oh yeah, i'm a Nintendo freak
14) Um... I write poetry?
15) I wish i could draw better or I wish scanners were easier to use or i wish i could use photoshop and my tablet better
16) Manassas and a lot of my poetry was inspired almost completely by someone i've never met in real life
17) Sports i've played have been gymnastics, softball, soccer, and martial arts (of course)
18) I write in a journal every night... i have an entry every day beginning with Jan. 1, 2003 to the present
19) My hair is really long. eventually i'm going to donate most of it to locks of love, but right now i'd miss it too much
20) I want to shoot an old school bow and arrow

Anything else you wanna know about me? ask

In other words, idk if i'll be posting much... of course, i always seem to say that then the next day I post like three things. haha. it's like the opposite of a self-fulfilling prophecy or something.

yeah, i posted the prologue to part two of Manassas. It's in third-person, but the rest of the book will be in first-person... and i can't wait to start developing my new char. I hope you all like him. ^^ Idk when i'm going to start writing the next chpt... I really want to, but i have other things to do... bleh... oh well...

So... the Fray's new album comes out on tuesday ^^ i'm super psyched! love them!

let's see... more random things... oh yeah, is the phrase "short but sweet" or "short and sweet"? i think it's the former, but my dad and i got confused haha.

the sims 3 comes out the end of this month! woot! can't wait! i love the sims! haha you'll probably see me on here less when it comes out lol hurray for distractions! but i'll still be writing and stuff and posting... and chatting... okay, so it won't be much different lol

um... so i just drank a bottle of dr. pepper and i don't really know why cause i have to wake up early for classes tomorrow oh well, it was good anyway haha

now i'm just babbling about stuff cause i'm bored xD i think i should go to bed now though >.> i'm writing a poem right now though... kinda wanna finish it b4 i sleep... guess i should go do that ^^

peace
God Bless!!!

Sorry you haven't heard from me in a while. I haven't really had much inspiration lately. I am taking a break from writing Manassas for a bit, but that's only because since Part Two is so different, I'm going to have to shift gears. I'm planning things out, so you'll see some new additions in a week or so hope you can wait ^^ Also, my poetry has kind of been on the rocks lately. I can't seem to finish anything, nonetheless start anything haha.

My second semester in college is starting wednesday, so I'm not going to be on as much as I have been. I'm going to have plenty to do this semester, but I'll try to get on as much as possible and upload something when I can.

I'll also be testing for my Brown Sash in Kung Fu soon... I'm supposed to learn the last part of my form tonight and as soon as that happens, i'm officially testing for the next rank! Hopefully I'll have my Brown by the end of February. It ultimately depends on how fast my testing goes (aka when my Shihan can be there to test me.) Anyway, I'll be busy with studying for the written part of that test as well as making sure I know the physical part of it.

Anyway, just thought I'd let all of you lovelies out there know what i'm up to and why i've been so quiet

Peace
God Bless!

Anyway, I'm afraid that if you don't like this next chapter, you won't like Part Two - Spited. Part Two is going to be... different... to say the least from Part One. To tell you the truth, Part One is actually the intro/backstory behind Part Two.

Part Two is kind of giving me a small dilemma... I'm thinking about writing it in third-person, but i'm worried that that won't provide the intimacy of the character development that first-person provided in Part One. In a way, I really really want to write it in third-person because I think since there will be two main chars in the second part it will provide a wider scope. Then again, I would love to write it in first-person too because I could develop the the new char better... Okay, i just thought of something... would it be weird to have the beginning be in third-person and the rest be in first? I guess I could make a prologue or something... yeah... that might work... what do you think?

I hope you like the new char that i've been talking about. I'm going to let them (saying them because I don't want to reveal the gender yet ^^) develop their own personality for the most part. Haha, that sounds kind of crazy since i'm writing the book, but you get what i mean, right? I kind of let James develop his character... Kate too, 'cept not as much. Sorry, i'm ranting now haha.

So, i recalculated the number of pages I'm going to have to shoot for and it came up to about 250... haha I'm worried about getting that much. A lot of Part One was purely plot. I'll probably go back and add a lot if i ever end up trying to publish this. Part Two will probably have a lot of filler since I'm going to be almost completely making it up as I go along xD

Thnx to all of you who read my stories and poems and look at my art ^^ i love you guys a ton!

God Bless!!!!

Yesterday I started writing a story. It kind of just popped into my head. By default I probably won't finish it. Actually, I'm kind of surprised how much I've written in it so far, but I'm nowhere near finished. My goal is to write either ten pages or one chapter a day. I'd like to make it as long as a novel would be, but I don't know if i could do that... How long is a novel anyway? I've heard anywhere b/t 45,000 to 75,000 words... I'm shooting for about 65,000 for good measure. I calculated that out by dividing it by an average of 300 words per page. This put it out to be about 216, so I figure if I shoot for maybe 220 I should be good.

Anyway, I'm going to need tons of encouragement to keep up with this writing. I'm going to do my best to finish it. But, then i have a problem... If i finish it, what will I do with it? I guess I could try to get it published or something... yeah, i can dream... haha, but what if it ends up being too short? It would be considered a novella, i suppose, but would I still be able to get it published? My mom wrote a book that was a novella and no one wanted to publish it because it was too short... i think she told me it was about 45,000 words.

So... yeah... Imma need so major prodding to not get bored of this haha. Should I post the first chapter to my gallery to see what people think of it? It's by no means perfect... nor does it really give any idea as to what with actual story is... do you want to know the story?

Oh yeah, i'm well on my way to getting my 5,000 pageviews I'm pretty psyched! I'm almost at 2,000 and it hasn't been but 15 days since I was at 1,400 or so. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this, but another resolution of mine was to make artistic versions of all of the poems I posted last year. That's for you ! I probably won't get around to it much until this summer though, so bear with me

anyway, anybody have any resolutions they wanna share? Good luck everyone!

God bless!

I really have no idea what happened either :\ it just started hurting then later at the our annual Christmas banquet i noticed it was swollen... talked to several ppl and they said it was probably a minor sprain... I've taken care of it for the past few days, but i'm going to class tonight... I'm going to be careful doing my forms and stuff and not go all out... i just can't miss class haha gotta maintain my title

anyway, just thought i'd share what's been going on lately ^^ I have one more college final tomorrow then i'm off for the semester! hurray!

~God bless~

Actually, I'm thankful to God for giving me everything that I have... I love Him more than life. He is my all in all!

On a different note, though not so different... I just found out that one of my poems ("Prayer") was posted on a UK youth group's wall! Yay! All glory to God!

Anyway, hope everyone isn't too full of turkey to sleep! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!!!

I think within the past month i've gotten nearly 400 views! I owe that to the ppl to told me how to be more active I've been super active in the forums and just by commenting on ppl's art. From that I have gained quite a few new , several more , and a couple of new friends to go alone with those

I'm super psyched to get 1,000 pageviews! Thanks again to everyone! I'm not sure what my next pageview goal should be... 1,500? 2,000? 5,000? 10,000??? what do you guys suggest? Until then, imma keep cranking out those poems and rare pieces of art ^^

thnx everyone!

I'm finally doing another journal entry I think i'll just talk about what's currently on my mind. First off, my arms have acquired some nice new bruises from my martial arts class tonight haha. we were practicing blocking drills and my friend and i always go at it... Guess my arms will be tender for a few days. I'm kinda sore from last night anyway. We did a couple of crazy Jujitsu moves that made my back sore (from throwing 8 guys, most of whom are over 200 lbs >.< ) and my neck hurts from having 9 ppl do the same neck locking move on me one after the next... and my arm hurts from doing them back on them! haha oh well, turn about's fair play i suppose. I felt bad though because I did the neck move on one of my friends and he was tapping out, but i didn't notice, so i kept cranking is neck and made him really sore oh well... comes with being a martial artish i guess haha

now, on the dA side of the story, for the past few weeks i've been quite active in the forums and commenting (mainly forums though) and i have seen my page view gain nearly 100 views also, I got several more favorites and a couple more watches! yay!

Oh yeah, I also recently drew a really great pic (for me at least haha) of one of my friends anyway, i really like the pic, so check it out and comment plz ^^ i wanna know what i can improve on and how

anyway, i dont have much else to say... um... yeah i hope you have a great rest of the day or a good night depending on when you read this ^^
