anyway, i know this is wayyyyy late but happy new years to y'alls. i had a boring new year. (sat around and ate junk)

but! the cool part of this journal. I'm applying to a program in England. If i get in, i would stay there for about three weeks, in Cambridge University. everyday i would take my major and minor courses (i've picked medical science and studio art) and after that i basically get to wander around the campus, as well as explore england for the rest of each day. they like, barely supervise you.

*is excited*

plus, a good friend and former teacher of mine used to help run the program, and she's going to email them to basically secure me a spot. a bit underhanded, but she says i deserved it, so hey, take what you get!


anyway....thats all the fun for now.

**EDIT**: I got in! I'm going to England! AHHHH!

(psst! Obama is president! FUCK YEAH!)

This is amazing people...we made history. and to be a part of it, i'm so glad. i've never experienced segregation or anything like that, but this is such a huge step.

we'll finally make progress! the war might finally end!

we needed something new and fantastic and Barack came at just the right time.

GO OBAMA!

paramore, i love youuuuuu~~~


and the offspring kicked mucho ass. the black keys and stone temple pilots were shamazing too.



the mosh pit for paramore was hilarious--slightly uncomfortable but loads of fun. i was drenched in sweat by the third song. and 50% of it wasn't mine! XD


i joined a free-hugs group and we gave people hugs. then we group-hugged this guy with a Pink Floyd shirt and a guitar! he was really sweet.


i wish i had gone all three days, but alas, i only went to sunday and monday. (and not all of monday either) but it was fucking BOMB. i'm so going again next year. i'm also gonna go to folklife again. hopefully i'll able to snag some Warped Tour tickets next year too!



FUCK YEAH

SO.

HARD.

The fighting scenes were amazing, the animation was exquisite, Azula going totally batshit was awesome...

BUT THE FUCKING ENDING.

It was full of LOVE and JOY and fucking FLUFFY LITTLE RAINBOWS AND PONIES AND OH MY GOD I WANT TO BARF.

WHY.

I can't stop writing it, can't stop playing it, can't stop listening to it...

I'm working on two songs right now, one is called "Lizzy" and the other is "You are who you be". I'm so excited for the rock and roll camp I mentioned in the other journal. I'm hoping to polish a song I already wrote (which is currently untitled, because it is lyric-less) it's gonna be so awesome. I can't wait to jam onstage! ahhhhhhh!


Cheers!

Well, firstly, HELL YES SUMMER TIME. I actually got out on the 5th, but so far summer has been pretty bleak. It's been raining a ton and there isn't much to do.

HOWEVER.

I just got back from my final day of Basketball camp, (4 days of mega-hella awesome b-ball fun) it rocked my socks off. At the end we had this double elimination tournament. We had to pick names for our teams (btw, this was co ed. guys play rough, lemme tell you that) and they had to be actual universities. My team was DUKE! HELL YEAH! GO BLUE DEVILS!

And we won the championship~! We didn't lose a single game in the tourny. The end was pretty close since it was only a ten minute game (this is camp people, not the NBA) we won 15 to 12.

Also, I had this guy named Cameron on my team. He is amazing at basketball. Like, for serious. He pulled this awesome move during the game (even Prohn, the tough, basketball-loving PE teacher running it all was really impressed) Cameron had a fast break and was sprinting down the court and this guy named Jacob was totally up in a his grill so Cameron takes the ball and does a behind-the-back-mid-sprint passover to his other hand that was as smooth as melted butter.

It was so beautiful I could've cried. And right after the passover he exploded on the speed, raced down and landed a perfect lay in.

Yeah, so basketball fun. On another note, I'm gonna be doing tons of camps this summer. Tennis camp, improv camp, stage combat camp and rock and roll camp. I'm looking for a comedy camp too.

Oh, and about the yellow pants. Yes I just bought yellow skinny jeans. I can pull them off well too, with my new black -and turquoise stripy shirt. Or my green and black leopard print one. With some converse and an attitude I shall rock the streets with my new stuff.

WATCH OUT.

It seems like there is a stereotypical cool, fun, artist type now. Like you have to be some ragtag bohemian to actually be creative. I like the idea of living in my own house or apartment, with a good income.

My sister wants to earn her living from her art, barely scraping by, not knowing if she'll be able to pay the next rent. Sure, that sounds thrilling and fun, but life is NOT a book, and life is NOT a movie. You can't just say 'cut' and go back to your comfy home. And besides, what's so boring about living nicely? Is it dull? I don't think so.

It just frustrates me that now the cool, fun, hip thing is to go off on your own, be all hippie and music loving, all artsy and bohemian, with very little money and stuff. My sister also says that is what would make her happy, so I'm totally cool with that, but that just doesn't seem like it would make me happy at all.

I've never lived a hard life, probably won't in the future, and don't really want to. Because no matter how much I wish I am, I'm just not that strong of a person.



...

yeah. thats my rant. whoo. byes people, and thanks for listening. or reading. whatever.

I'm only meh. Midterms are killing my braaaaiiin.

Anyway, now to get the point. Firstly, my semi-hiatus is not miraculously over, but it will be taking a semi-pause over Winter Break which is from Friday on for a couple weeks.

AND NOW! SHAMELESS ADVERTISING!

Part one!

ZOMFG, Gintama is teh sex. I am completely obsessed with it. I live for Gintama, I breathe Gintama, I eat Gintama...(i download Gintama from t3h interwebz..)

Probably die from eating Gintama...

Anywho, Gintama is awesome. Go read it, foo's.


now for Part two!

If someone can find me the scans for Gintama (raws or translated, i don't care) for volumes 7 and onward for at least three more books, (at a site that is free, please) i will draw you whatever you want! not that i'm saying one of my drawings is really worth much, but still. anyway, yeah. pretty much anything. yaoi, yuri, gore, whatever. i will not, however, draw racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, (ect.) or explicit hentai. tho, i will draw very-light hentai, like grope while kissing or whatever.

and lastly!

anyone who has found a good GinKagura (my fav pairing in Gintama) fic tell meeeee! i havent any!



okay, now that that is over...


Jurobbins, signing out!

Anyway, let's get down to the nitty gritty. I probably won't go on here very much. The summer is my only time where I actually have time to draw, color and post. So yeah. If I don't reply to your comments, ect., it's not because I'm ignoing you, i's becuase I'm not on, and will not be checking this account very frequently.

Also, Desertrain, I'm so sorry I've taken so long to complete the art trade. It just seems as though the universe doesn't want me to finish it. First, my comp crashed and I lost all the data of it. Then I drew it on paper, left it out, and ended up having a friend scribble nonsense all over it. (She doesnt have much respect for personal space.)

So, this is good bye for a while. Stay gold, my friends!

RULES:

1-post these rules
2-each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3-tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4-at the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named
5-go to their page and leave a comment telling them they’ve been ‘tagged’


(*is totally skipping last two rules*)


1: Whenever I say "I'm bot hungry" when I really am, my stomach growls. The traitor!

2: I love to cook pastries and opening a bakey is one of my dreams.

3: I originally came to dA cuz my sister had a account and I wanted to see what all the buzz was about.

4: I have super big feet. Size 10 in women's, baby!

5: I'm a totally hopeless romantic. Any couples that I see hugging/kissing makes me swoon.

6: Writing is my passion. I couldn't live without Word.

7: I've written two full-length songs, (one is recorded!) but with generous help from my guitar teacher. I plan to make a band in high school.

8: Math to me is nothing but trash. I hate it with the burning passion of a thousand suns. It makes me wretch.



*skips last rules.*
tags generally annoy me, but this one wasn't too bad. but i won't put anybody else on the spot. lol.

It's over.


Really, fucking, seriously, no-joke OVER.


I mean, It's just...I've been there, man. I was there when the first book came out. I was THERE when the fifth book came out, after a bloody-stinkin' 3 year gap. I saw the smiles. I experienced the magic of it all.

And now...It's over. Never again, will I stay up till ungodly hours, my feet sore from standing in line, clamboring for the next installment. Man. It's scary, really. I waited till I got home to read, and when I did, I quickly changed into my pajamas, pinned my new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows poster above my bed, and turned on my scarlet and gold lamp.

I started the last, epic tale of Harry Potter around 2am. I never once stopped reading it, (Well, except for two bathroom breaks.) until I had reached that last page. That last, wretched page. It was around 11am the next morning when this dreadful event occured. After I set the book down, after all the final secrets were revealed...
I cried.
I cried silently, until I realized it wouldn't help.

I quietly walked over to my sister's room, and asked her if she'd like to read the book now.

Those 9 hours, those precious 9 hours, were probably the best I'll ever experience in my little, hollow, reading corner. Curled up tightly in my covers, reading, experiencing, adventuring.

But it will never happen ever again. No more narrow troll escapes. No more dragons. No more Harry Potter. It's finally done.



It is with a weary, but happy heart, a bid you goodbye, Harry Potter.


And I can only hope we will some day meet again, whether it be in the near, or distant future.

Farewell, my friend.

May magic always swirl within your heart.

Tons of new freedom! No more Choir! More Art Classes! Learning Japanese! Algebra! (Okay, thats blech, but I got into Algebra instead of pre, so I must be smart, right right?)
So, lotsa new stuff happenin'! I'm going on soemthing of a diet! No more shopping till I'm only 125 pounds or less. Which, by the way, is a terrible thing, since I love shopping.
Also, I'm trying to ban all black shirts from my wardrobe. Not because I'm racist or anything, but because I got into thing crazy faze of like wannabe emo/goth during sixth grade and all of my clothes were dark and dreary.
I need some bloody stinkin' color here, damnit!
On the other note, Life is pretty good around here. No deaths lately, my dogs are doing great, and my summer packet hasn't arrived yet. Which is weird. And probably bad. But thats okay.

Tata, my dearies! I hope you have a great summer! And my birthday is coming up so I'm expecting some fabulous gifts! (jk, jk!)

updates...i have no plans for anything, so i'm free for requests, art trades, collabs, all that....yup...nothing really very interesting here. except for the fact that i wrote a freakin' 8-page report on the Great Chicago Fire...which is actually very boring...cuz seriously, its pretty simple! A cow kicked over a lamp, the barn caught on fire, the fire spread, it burned down 2/3's of the city, and then once it was over and done, they built it back up again. and yet, it tooks 120 pages in one book to say all that. weird.

i gotta go, Tommy needs to be brushed.

bye!

My dog tommy just trampled all over my sketchbook with muddy paws...;__;

Oh, well. I'll live. For all of you who don't know...

Animeluver1237 is my older sister. OMAGAD. Thats why I don't get sad when she totally goes into "Simon Cowwel" mode, and really chews me out for mistakes on drawings.

I'm soooooo glad people like my art! Before I suddenly was hit by inspiration like a semi-truck, I had a grand total of 34 pageviews. Whoo. Now I have around 270! YAY!!!

Well, theres not much else to write about, soooooo....

Have a nice day.
