                <description><![CDATA[ HIV+<br /><br />If you haven't heard, yes. I am diagnosed positive with HIV. And as today marks the 27th Anniversary of its discovery, I would like to share this with you.<br /><br />Having HIV is not like what it was in the past decade. People living with HIV/AIDS itself will understand. People without it are often encased in a stigma of uncertainty.<br /><br />However, it's not about the human immunodeficiency virus I am talking about here. No, I don't have that so you can breathe again. Think of HIV+ as this:<br /><br />Health IS Valuable (Positive)<br /><br />Current HIV/AIDS education has often most likely fallen onto alot of deaf ears. They've tried everything from print ads, tv slots, movies, flyers, and millions and millions of dollars spent on HIV/AIDS Awareness programs. How many percent of respondents actually give a fuck? (pun intended). Yet the number of people infected keeps rising and rising by the second.<br /><br />Health Is Valuable (Positive) is a viral campaign ^<a class="u" href="http://estudio.deviantart.com/">estudio</a> started on Facebook today, which made a huge handful of people nearly shat their pants when he changed his status update. The stigma of HIV+ being AIDS has been too prevalent in the last century, which was evident from some comments he received from doing this. His facebook status was merely: "Evangeliss is HIV+" followed by "Health Is Valuable (Positive)" as its subcomment. We do not fear it as much as we used to. We hear about it, we brush it off our shoulders. We think. We even celebrate it.<br /><br />The Health Is Valuable program is to re-educate the masses with regards to HIV/AIDS Awareness. Value YOUR life. Be positive about it. Whether you ARE indeed HIV+ with AIDS or not. It's time to change your mindset. Already I've seen a few people changing their status to the same and increasing by the hour! We've heard it already: "Wear protection. Don't share needles. Be safe"... But do we? Everyday? And why do I have to "joke" about this, one asked.. This is no joke. Many people learn things, but the information goes from one ear and out the other. This is a shock-and-awe approach. It makes you tremble with fear of the reality.<br /><br />Change your stigma. Stop your ignorance. If you don't have it, doesn't mean you won't. So you might as well believe that you ALREADY have HIV+ (of course, my version of it). THINK. RESPECT. PROTECT. Together we can end HIV prejudice. If you dare, tell the world you are indeed HIV+. Say it with me: HEALTH IS VALUABLE (POSITIVE). This is one HIV+ you wanna spread! And I dare you to do the same by doing a "Hi. My name is _______ & I am HIV+" journal.<br /><br />(The above was taken directly from *<a class="u" href="http://gimmemahfishsticks.deviantart.com/">GimmeMahFishsticks</a>, which she took from ^<a class="u" href="http://estudio.deviantart.com/">estudio</a>)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />What is world AIDs day?<br /><br />World AIDS Day is an opportunity to be inspired to respect and protect the health and well being of ourselves and those around us through knowledge, action and consideration.<br /><br />Are HIV and AIDS the same?<br />No. When someone is described as living with HIV, they have the HIV virus in their body. A person is considered to have developed AIDS when the immune system is so weak it can no longer fight off a range of diseases with which it would normally cope.<br /><br />Get Involved<br /><br />* Sport a red ribbon. Either an actual ribbon or post this in your journals<br />* Support a Local campaign<br />* Shop red products<br />* Get informed. Knowledge is the best weapon<br />* Help ^<a class="u" href="http://stjoan.deviantart.com/">StJoan</a> make her AIDS walk <a href="http://www.aidshelp.org/site/TR/Events/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=1060">[link]</a><br />* Feature HIV/Aids related artwork. Help spread the word<br /><br /><br />Why this Journal?<br /><br />Because myths keep on spreading. The numbers keep rising. If I can help just one person, that's enough.<br /><br /><br />STATS<br /> the numbers keep rising (no real novelty with this, sadly)<br /> the fear (of knowing one has it, in case one does have it) and shame (of going to a medical center to take the test) are great enemies of the tests<br /> while africa is still the "recordist" China is actually increasing numbers, related to last years - while other countries have it "stable"...<br /><br /><br /><br />MYTHS<br /> Sexual intercourse with a virgin will cure AIDS<br /> Sexual intercourse with an animal will avoid or cure AIDS<br /> HIV cannot be transmitted through oral sex<br /> Showering after intercourse will prevent AIDS<br /> HIV can infect only homosexual men and drug users<br /> HIV was introduced to North America by a Canadian flight attendant<br /><br />(This part was also taken from *<a class="u" href="http://gimmemahfishsticks.deviantart.com/">GimmeMahFishsticks</a>, who took it from *<a class="u" href="http://flutterings.deviantart.c... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, told <a href="http://gimmemahfishsticks.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/i/gimmemahfishsticks.gif?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongimmemahfishsticks:" title="gimmemahfishsticks"/></a> that I would do my own version of one of her previous journal entries about ten things she loves and then things she hates about Teh Narutard. xD<br />Here's my entry, featuring that one faggy show everyone loves...South Park!<br /><br />Ten Reasons why I love (in no particular order):<br /><br />1. Matt.<br /><br />2. Trey.<br /><br />3. The comedy.<br /><br />4. The social commentary.<br /><br />5. The gayness.<br /><br />6. The cute things the boys sometimes do.<br /><br />7. The outlandish plotlines that are totally weird, but make sense in their own way.<br /><br />8. The fact that the animation has vastly improved over the years and while it was once crappy little plain cutouts, it's now really good.<br /><br />9. The fact that Primus did the original theme song.<br /><br />10. Style! (Stan/Kyle, for those who don't know.)<br /><br /><br />Ten reasons why I hate (I don't think I can even come up with ten of these...)<br /><br />1. Kenny doesn't get nearly enough attention.<br /><br />2. Issac Hayes (I don't really hate him, he just freaked out about Scientology way too much. And now I feel bad that he's dead. What happened man, you used to be cool! D8)<br /><br />3. It makes me think really questionable things about the characters.<br /><br />4. These questionable things make me feel like a pedo. <a href="http://pedobearplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/e/pedobearplz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpedobearplz:" title="pedobearplz"/></a><br /><br />5. The anime fanartists (I don't mean all of them; there are a lot of really great anime artists who do awesome SP stuff. I mean the people who bishi-fy the characters beyond recognition and seem to know nothing about the show.)<br /><br />6. The fact that a lot of people seem to misunderstand the show and it's humor.<br /><br />7. Uh...they make fun of hippies a lot? (Running out of ideas here.)<br /><br />8. The fact that it seems Stan and Kyle will stay Super Best Friends and nothing more, despite how <i>ghey</i> they are together sometimes. xD<br /><br />9. Stan/Wendy<br /><br />10. Uh...the fact that the show's so awesome, I can't even think of a real tenth reason! xD<br /><br /><br /><br />In other news, my boyfriend (who has been away for almost five months) is coming home in roughly twenty days. Excited! Fuck yea! <br />His parents are actually visiting him right now and I'm getting paid to take care of their pets. There's a lot of those fuckers. Two dogs, two cats, and another cat that they found and took in one day and her five kittens. And I love 'em all!<br /><br />School's going pretty good. My History of Western Art class is frustrating as hell as well as very boring, though. I feel like I'll end up failing. I met this really cool dude in that class, though. He's fun to talk to and he says his hometown is in Peru. <br /><br />As for my art, I'll be trying to do more varied fanart. Fanart about a lot of stuff that I like, but have never drawn before or don't draw that often. I've actually been trying to start that already, but for some reason I'm having trouble drawing anything that doesn't look either deformed or completely not how it should look. D8 Ah well, keep trying.<br /><br />That's it for now. Shalom, bitches! <br /><br />~CLUBS:<br /><a href="http://murdoc-eyebrows-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmurdoc-eyebrows-club:" title="murdoc-eyebrows-club"/></a> <a href="http://gorillaz-fans.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gorillaz-fans.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongorillaz-fans:" title="gorillaz-fans"/></a> <a href="http://crack-otpfanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcrack-otpfanclub:" title="crack-otpfanclub"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, I'm using "gay" to mean both something unfavorable and something homosexual. Whaddaya want, huh? xD<br /><br />Okay, so I just took my first History of Western Art exam today and was really upset. It wasn't too terribly hard or anything, I just ended up not having enough time. I left, like, 15 out of the 50 questions in the multiple choice portion blank. And the teacher made us stop testing, like, half an hour before class was over! Why not use at least a little of that time to finish? Blah...<br /><br />Aah, but I did have a really awesome Comedy and Literature class. We watched Seinfeld for the last portion of class. I fricken love that show. And it was the one where everyone thinks Jerry and George are gay for each other. xD<br /><br />And South Park came back with the first episode of the second half of the season! Haha, that sounds way more complicated than it actually is...Anyway, it was so...oddly wonderful. And there was a point where Stan and Kyle were crying and holding each other and said "I love you!" More gayness! xD I know it was strictly in the platonic sense, but it just sounded cute.<br /><br />Back to more bad news now. I submitted a piece of art over at Y!Gallery about an hour ago. It's only over there and not here because I felt it was too...adult for here. Well. I submitted it and right away it was reported and I don't even know why yet! I have no idea what I did wrong and I'm a little afraid I'll get banned for a while or something. I guess that wouldn't be anything too bad, but it would suck.<br /><br />Now, I'm watching Queer as Folk. The gayiety continues! <br /><br />~CLUBS:<br /><a href="http://murdoc-eyebrows-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmurdoc-eyebrows-club:" title="murdoc-eyebrows-club"/></a> <a href="http://gorillaz-fans.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gorillaz-fans.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongorillaz-fans:" title="gorillaz-fans"/></a> <a href="http://crack-otpfanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcrack-otpfanclub:" title="crack-otpfanclub"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I had a pretty good day today, considering I thought it would turn out to be boring as hell. <br />I got about seven dollars return for my recycling this afternoon. Then I went to lunch with my parents to this Mexican restaurant my mom had been going to since she was a child. My dad got two beers (Corona) and let be have a sip of one, not knowing that I'd already beer a bunch of times <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /> Ha, I like Corona, though, so I was happy. <br />There was also this guy the restaurant had hired to come from 2-4pm on Saturdays to make balloon shapes and stuff. He made me a little balloon monkey <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I went out later and took some pictures with it, which I might post here if I feel like revealing my ugly face to all you lovelies. <br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/peace.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":peace:" title="Peace" /><br /><br />~CLUBS:<br /><a href="http://murdoc-eyebrows-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmurdoc-eyebrows-club:" title="murdoc-eyebrows-club"/></a> <a href="http://gorillaz-fans.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gorillaz-fans.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongorillaz-fans:" title="gorillaz-fans"/></a> <a href="http://crack-otpfanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcrack-otpfanclub:" title="crack-otpfanclub"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So it's been a while since I've written a new journal. Didn't see much point in it since hardly anybody reads these things, but now it's more of a way for me to get some stuff off my chest and maybe seek help from the few people who do read.<br /><br />I graduated high school in mid-june. It was interesting. I felt good knowing that I made it all the way and had a sense of completion, but I never felt really accomplished because it was always in my sights that I would graduate high school. While a lot of other people seemed so proud that they'd made it this far, I was all, "So I made it through high school. Okay..." I was happy, but I didn't feel like I did anything really great. I wonder if that's odd...<br /><br />Anyway, after that I was happy that I never had to go back to that school as a student, yet sad that I was leaving behind a lot of people and places. And a bit scared that I was off to more difficult things. But after a while it wasn't on my mind too much and I was enjoying spending time with my boyfriend during summer. That is, until he was sent away to a school in Utah by his parents with no prior warning. I won't go into much detail here, but the point is that it is a school for children up to age 18 that have bad mental problems or are doing damage to themselves in some way. And though he's got a couple small mental issues he was taking meds for, there was no reason to send him off. I think they just didn't know how to deal with him or communicate with him and jumped into this harsh decision.<br /><br />Anyway, he's been gone for...about a couple of months now and he'll probably be gone until at least December. But if not then, then they can only hold him until January since that's when he turns 18. <br /><br />So I've resumed my life as normal without him and we've been writing letters to each other. He's even gotten to call me a couple times. Well, the last time he called was just today (or yesterday, since it's after midnight) in the morning. And while we were talking, he told me that he's just found out a friend of ours had killed himself. Hanged himself. It had actually happened it late July, but he had just heard about it the day before from his parents. I almost couldn't believe it. I was tired and shocked and it just didn't seem real. I had just talked to this guy at a friend's graduation party earlier in the summer and now he was gone. Forever. I fear I didn't come off sounding as concerned as I actually felt when he told me, but I just didn't know what to say. Once it sank in a bit more, I felt terrible...and he wasn't that close of a friend to me. We had a few classes together in school and talked when we saw each other. He was someone I really liked and respected, though. And I know that if I already felt that bad, my boyfriend (who's been the guy's friend since they were kids) must've felt like total sh*t. He'd told me he'd cried so much since hearing about it. Isn't that a wonderful way to start a day?<br /><br />Not only that, but lately I've been getting very paranoid about things and have already had a few panic attacks. And sometimes I worry about the stupidest things. But I can only help it so much and I often let it all get to me and worry me about things someone like me shouldn't worry about. This is a pretty good example of the kind of crap I get into in my head: <a href="http://www.nataliedee.com/080308/self-diagnosis-is-easy.jpg">[link]</a> I'm a weird person.<br /><br />And I'm starting college for the first time in the morning. Man, am I nervous...<br /><br />Lastly, here's the bit where I ask for help. My parents bought a new desktop computer recently and I've had to go and redownload a bunch of the programs I had on the old one. Our old one came with a really outdated version of photostudio that I still used all the time to clean up my pictures and all. It had some specific features that I liked that other programs don't have. But the new computer didn't come with it. I managed to find the latest version of it, but I had to download this free trial of it unless I want to pay a bunch for the full version. Does anyone know where I can download it for free?<br /><br />~CLUBS:<br /><a href="http://murdoc-eyebrows-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmurdoc-eyebrows-club:" title="murdoc-eyebrows-club"/></a> <a href="http://gorillaz-fans.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gorillaz-fans.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongorillaz-fans:" title="gorillaz-fans"/></a> <a href="http://crack-otpfanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcrack-otpfanclub:" title="crack-otpfanclub"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So lots of confusing stuff going on in my life at the moment. But all that's way too complicated and a little embarrassing to bother you guys about. So I'll just tell you all the story of me sliding down stairs on my shins. Ouch.<br />Well, one day when I was at school, I had a lot of math homework I wanted to finish during advisory/homeroom (whatever you call it.) At my school, we have that homeroom period not at the beginning of the day, but somewhere in the middle, at fourth period. After that period, we have a short nutrition break, which I usually use to go to my locker. And I usually meet my friend there since we share my locker. But the bell had already rung signalling the start of break and I wasn't done. So I stayed working a few more minutes, but didn't finish because I didn't want to keep my friend waiting or miss break. So I was really hurrying to the locker and just kept hurrying when I got to the sets of stairs...Not a very good idea when I'm wearing slip on shoes and am already a pretty clumsy person. I made it through the first stairs okay, but at the second set, I end up tripping over my shoe or something. Somehow my legs go underneath me, and I'm sliding/bumping down the rest of the stairs on my shins. Like fricken skiing! When I get up, my legs hurt like a ***** and are also a little numb, making it pretty hard to walk. But I do walk over to my locker and I find out that my friend wasn't even waiting for me; he's over with some other guys playing hackeysack! I ended up destroying a bunch of useless papers of his and getting all upset later, though...Yay for passive/agression! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Welp, that was all that's really worth telling and even that was pretty boring. Peace. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/peace.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":peace:" title="Peace" /><br /><br />~CLUBS:<br /><a href="http://murdoc-eyebrows-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmurdoc-eyebrows-club:" title="murdoc-eyebrows-club"/></a> <a href="http://gorillaz-fans.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gorillaz-fans.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongorillaz-fans:" title="gorillaz-fans"/></a> <a href="http://crack-otpfanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcrack-otpfanclub:" title="crack-otpfanclub"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I couldn't believe it when I first read the letter! <i>And</i> I got accepted to major in creative writing!!!<br />My ex called a couple hours ago and I told him and he was so happy for me, even happier than I was! He even told his friend about it right away. Now I just have to wait and see if I get accepted to any others...But I'm already in for my favorite school and that's what counts!<br /><br />...Now I just hope I also get the financial aid I need for college <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />In other news, I'm really sick right now. I've got a terrible cough. But there's really no point to saying that...So...I also just recently watched both <i>Princess Mononoke</i> and <i>The Cat Returns</i> (that one I just barely finished.) Both really good. I love Studio Ghibli films!<br /><br />~CLUBS:<br /><a href="http://murdoc-eyebrows-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmurdoc-eyebrows-club:" title="murdoc-eyebrows-club"/></a> <a href="http://gorillaz-fans.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gorillaz-fans.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongorillaz-fans:" title="gorillaz-fans"/></a> <a href="http://crack-otpfanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcrack-otpfanclub:" title="crack-otpfanclub"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I was out visiting family for a lot of today, but I would just like to wish everyone a happy Christmas and happy rest of the year. I love all you guys and wish you the best <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
Got some pretty cool stuff this year, like D-sides, the first Hellogoodbye cd, and an awesome belt with painted skulls on it. I can't say I got everything I wanted or anything since I really didn't ask for anything this year...I had to suggest a few things for people to get me, but I was thinking about it and I don't think I really would have cared if there was no real celebration/presents. I'm happy that people thought about me to get me things and I love all the things I got, but I wasn't so into the materialism this year and that's good <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> <br />
<br />
I do want to say that I lovelovelove the <i>Your Personal Penguin</i> book (I'm about to download the Davy Jones song now!) and the shirt from <a href="http://vetters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/e/vetters.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvetters:" title="vetters"/></a> Thanks so much, sistah! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I guess I can't say that emotional pain is so much worse than any physical pain for the fact that I haven't experienced all types of physical pain or really serious I-want-to-die physical pain...but right now I I'm suffering from both to some degree and the emotions are giving physical pains a run for their money. It's the emotions that thrust you into such serious depression that you're willing to do whatever you have to to stop it. It's the emotions that make you feel like you'd be better off dead. It's the emotions that make you just ask why? Why, why, why?!<br />
<br />
Something pretty shitty just happend to me and I just...should have seen it coming. But instead I let it get to me. I know even now, right after it happened, that I'm making too much of it and there's much worse things that could've happened. So I won't go into details. Things might get better later, or they might not and by then I'll feel like talking about this. But for now I just wanted to make this pointless journal and ask that if anyone reads this whole thing and cares, please comment and talk to me. About anything. I just want to talk to someone right now.<br />
<br />
Thanks, I love you guys.<br />

In other news, I still need to finish <a href="http://yaoi-princess.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/yaoi-princess.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconyaoi-princess:" title="yaoi-princess"/></a>'s story (no, I didn't forget, love, it's just taking longer than I thought!), so expect some nice Gorillaz slash soon. I need to send <a href="http://vetters.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/e/vetters.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconvetters:" title="vetters"/></a>'s letter, too, which includes a really disproportional picture which I will scan before I send it, but won't post it here until she gets the letter. <br />
<br />
So in conclusion, someone get my 1,000th view because I like forcing my art on people!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <title>FEATURES FOR ALL...or maybe just ten...</title>

                <description><![CDATA[ Took this from <a href="http://swan-scone.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/swan-scone.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconswan-scone:" title="swan-scone"/></a>'s loveliness <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
So here are the (copy/pasted) rules:<br />
The first ten people who reply to this journal and tell me that they want a spot will have me go through their gallery and pick my three favourite deviations, which in turn will be featured in this journal.<br />
<br />
The catch is that to qualify, you MUST post a similar journal, this gives us an opportunity to really appreciate and support this lovely artistic global community we've got going on here. If you dont, I wont feature you. Oh, and the pictures aren't ranked in any specific order.<br />
<br />
So, yeah...I put links up to your pictures and captions to why I like them and you get free publicity! Yay!<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://gimmemahfishsticks.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/i/gimmemahfishsticks.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongimmemahfishsticks:" title="gimmemahfishsticks"/></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53158164/">[link]</a><br />
I like it because, really, it was well written. And this one not only pleases me because of the M/2 slash, but because it has an unexpected ending, yet is still in character.<br />
<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/61020697/">[link]</a><br />
This one is nice because it shows a sweet moment between these two charcters before Paula broke 2D's heart. Also, it's a combination of two lovely things: Gorillaz and Nightmare Before Christmas <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/61021025/">[link]</a><br />
This one because it just looks very smooth and boldly colored. <br />
<br />
<br />
Clubs:<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Thursday and Friday I went on a club trip to visit colleges in San Francisco. This is my third year of going on trips with the club and the first year that my boyfriend went, which made it a lot more fun ^^ It was also my first time going to San Francisco, so I was pretty excited. <br />
<br />
What was nice was that with my boyfriend D.J. there, the 7-hour van ride was more entertaining...plus, there was this senior boy named Francisco who had a lot of good music on his ipod. We all sat in the last row of seats in the back and listened to music and talked.<br />
<br />
What sucked, though, was that we were in the hippie capital of Cali and we didn't get to go to Haight-Ashbury! I was pretty sure if we wanted to, we'd have to go off on our own since we were with club teachers who probably didn't want us smoking and whatnot, but we never got that chance....we never got the chance to do anything! We hardly made any stops in the whole trip and when we did, they were just to eat or stay in the hotel. We were promised a visit to Fisherman's Wharf and we didn't even go there. <br />
<br />
We did, however, go to Denny's for dinner. Not very interesting, but after we ate, all the guys were still hungry, so they ran all the way to a nearby In-N-Out, and I had to try to keep up even though I didn't want food, and come to find out, it wasn't even open! The sign was all "In-N-Out: Coming Soon." XD And after that, we all walked up really steep hills that seemed to be almost 90-degree angles so we could get to the crookedest street in the world. It was really cool and I took some pictures, but it was too dark. <br />
<br />
Oh, and I had to share my hotel room with our bitchy club counselor...Man, she's not exactly mean, but she makes such snide comments and has a really condescending tone and is really REALLY niave. Everyone in the club hates her and she doesn't even know it. And we always have to make rest stops when <i>she</i> wants to...this time we stopped because she wanted chocolate milk! Like, two other rooms were willing to let me stay with them and I asked her if I could move, but she's all "LOL, NO, NOT TONIGHT." And all through the different car rides, she made someone be her "co-pilot" and sit next to her in the front seat and help with directions. My boyfriend had to do it once since we got to the van late. I really thank him for not making me do it, since I had to spend a whole night with her.<br />
<br />
I asked Mr Weil, the other teacher that went, if he liked the trip and he said he wished we could've made some more stops. I agree with him and am already planning to go back sometime to actually <i>see</i> San Francisco.<br />
<br />
I was back yesterday, but I had to go take the SAT Reasoning test, which lasted about 5 hours, and then spent the day with my boyfriend...(why am I not sick of him yet? XD) We did a lot of cool things like look around my old elementary school when we shouldn't have been there, go to this store called "Kawaii Anime" and to this bakery where my mom got my first birthday cake, and to this donut shop where D.J. and I played this video game I was crap at since I never play video games...Then, we got boba and we went to the movies, but there was something wrong with the screen, so we got our money back and walked all around Colorado blvd. First, we went to this old bookstore that huge a gigantic collection of not only books, but comics, and videos, records...I looked through every single comic hoping to find Tank Girl, but no luck. We also got this yogurt that looked like swirly play-dough, but it tasted really sweet. Then, we went to this little side-street place with an Asian restaurant and apartments that I had never seen before, but had a dream about and climbed on the roof. <br />
<br />
*Sigh* I know that was a long-ass journal entry, but I did a lot of cool stuff and I wanted to explain why I was gone. I know no one cares, but presents for anyone who reads this whole thing! Double presents to whoever kills themselves doing so! XD<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ *Sigh* Yes, I'm home doing nothing on New Years eve ...my mom is asleep and I'm coloring a crappy picture of Paula....<br />
<br />
I fail...<br />
<br />
I possibly could be with my boyfriend at this time...but unfortunately, I had a fight with him a few days ago about what we would be doing about today...he wanted me to come to his house today and I had no problems...until he called me on the phone and after I asked him what would be happening, he said that I and some of his friends would be there playing video games and spending the night. Then I had a problem.<br />
<br />
See, I don't really play video games...I feel like a dork for not knowing anything about them, but if people were doing that all night, I'd be left out and bored. And all the people there would be <i>his</i> friends...I know them some, but I'm not that familiar with most of them and again I'd feel left out...I know maybe that's <i>my</i> problem and I shouldn't make it his, but I'm extremely shy and have trouble talking to people in person that I don't know...<br />
<br />
Also, spending the night? Okay, don't think that's a wrong thing for us to do...we wouldn't have sex or anything, but he didn't even tell me plan before and would my parents even say yes? Well, he told me that because of playing games or watching movies and stuff, we probably wouldn't even get much sleep and if anyone fell asleep, it would probably be me...Falling asleep in front of people I barely know....great...<br />
<br />
Well, I had a big problem with all of this and I just really overreacted. And I was getting so mad at him for not planning this better so that he could tell me before and all this...and he told me I was acting like his mom. I just went silent and told him I didn't want to talk to him.........We haven't talked since.<br />
<br />
Now I feel so stupid for getting so mad and acting like a little cunt...I just kept feeling worse after it got later and later and we still hadn't talked. I was hoping that I could still come over and I guess I'm an even bigger idiot for not calling him about it, but I just figured he was doing something more important and doesn't want to talk to me...I keep feeling like he doesn't care anymore and all...he told before that that could never happen and I'm probably overreacting again, but it feels like I just went too far and he doesn't want to deal with this anymore...or maybe he just forgot about me.<br />
<br />
Whatever the case, I'm bored and alone right now and was too stupid to fix it when I had the chance...please someone slap some sense into me and tell me I'm being a baby and feeling too sorry for myself, cos when I say it, it never seems to get through...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, these past few weeks I haven't had time for much...I've been having so much schoolwork in addition to having to play at my orchestra's Winter concert, shopping for people's presents, helping out with a Christmas concert for the Christian club from school, making cookies...even on Christmas I was at a family gathering and then went to my boyfriend's house...maybe I just don't manage my time well.... I think that's probably it XD<br />
<br />
Well, anyway, that's why come I didn't put up a Christmas deviation. That and the fact that I had no inspiration for Christmas-type stuff... Most of the stuff I posted recently was stuff I already had done...I <i>do</i> have a few Christmassy photos I might post, but it seems lacking after Chritmas is over. But anyway, I think they're nice photos...<br />
<br />
I'm glad about Christmas, though. I got a lot of great stuff like a Noodle shirt and Monty Python and the Holy Grail and a Sex Pistols bag...and I got to see some of my family <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Why are my journals always so boring? XD Okay, I'll fix it.........FREE PORN AT THE END OF THIS JOURNAL!!!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Apparently my really close friends are no good...and now I feel like I have to choose between them and some of my other friends...<br />
<br />
I don't want to get involved. I just want to be friendly and nice with everyone. I DON'T wan to have to choose sides. I don't want to lose such nice people and I don't have enough friends to just stop talking to them. <br />
<br />
Why do people get involved in things they don't understand? My boyfriend told me all this and it's all based on what he's heard. I try my best to be impartial and I think I've heard at least a little of both sides. He brought it up and I wanted to say it, but I feel like he has no right to say these things!<br />
<br />
I dunno...I have a lot of homework to do, I have to go out with my parents right now, and I want to write a little something to my boyfriend about this whole situation...since I convey feelings much better through writing...so, I don't know If I'll be able to get to the Gorillaz story I just promised <a href="http://yaoi-princess.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/y/a/yaoi-princess.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="yaoi-princess" /></a> I'd finish.

                <description><![CDATA[ Ahh, I just finished working out...so...tired <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
Now I have to finish studying for my FIVE TESTS tomorrow. Yes, five tests. And I think I'm only really prepared for the tests in about three of my classes- Marine Biology, Spanish 2, and AP English.<br />
<br />
Then on Saturday, I have to go to Saturday school...because I was caught ditching last week. Yeah, getting caught by a cop while climbing a fence the first time you ditch is not very cool.<br />
<br />
Ohhh...just resolved (somewhat) a bit of drama between my parents and now my friend Grace is going to be sleeping over on Saturday. It'll brighten up the day after having to go to the hell-hole on a Saturday <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <br />
We're so gonna watch Howl's Moving Castle (in Japanese!), draw, write Gorillaz fanfic, and and and and...BUST A CAP IN ALL YO' ASSES! Yes, I do quite enjoy being a complete loser, sir! :B<br />
And we're gonna make my mom, who doesn't generall like having people over, feel uncomfortable! Yay! Naw, I made sure that it was okay with her first.<br />
<br />
Welp, I have to go study before I pass out so I don't fail. Lol, I be a loser who cares about grades, hur hur! :B<br />
<br />
Much love to you all <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/peace.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":peace:" title="Peace" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ You got it, ho. I be scannin' my art and cleanin' it up in photostudio. Looks worlds better. Did about...seven today. Took a long time for each one; a lot of them had many smudges and pencil marks and little imperfections....<br />
<br />
I don't think I would've done so many if I had something to do today...Blah. My friend Brenda was supposed to come over today, but she didn't...and never called to let me know. I didn't have the chance to plan something else to do..<br />
<br />
But I don't think I'll be doing that many in one day again...I spent entirely too long on the computer today, my eyes hurt from staring at a white background for so long, and my wrist hurts. I'm trying to get back into working out/more physical activity and I can't do that sitting at the compy, biatches! XD ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ On Wednesday I went to warped wif mah cousins Allan and Ivette, my dad, and my boyfriend D.J....The spot which D.J. occupied was originally for me mum, but she had her gallbladder taken out just about five days earlier and was not up to it...*sniff*...We all felt it was really unfair (especially because D.J. doesn't even like that type of music...), but had nothing else to do with the ticket.<br />
<br />
Anyway, while we were watching The Casualties, I had asked my dad to get more batteries for my camera and Allan had gone to look for Ivette's booklet from Warped which she had dropped. This would prove to be a bit of a mistake, since this meant we were lacking a lot of muscle for a few minutes...<br />
<br />
The lead singer told the audience to form "the biggest fucking circle pit ever"...and it formed right around us! Ivette advised us to stand our ground and not to move, but that ended up being a really bad idea as those guys plowed right through us even when we didn't move at all.<br />
<br />
Apparently, she had then said to get out of the way, but neither D.J. nor I heard her. I was knocked down once, by a guy who didn't even miss a beat or stop to see if  I was okay, and once more along with D.J.(this one stopped and asked if I was okay.)<br />
<br />
When I was getting up, my eyes started to water slightly and made some sort of noise (I couldn't hear myself very well...) I thought my tooth had been knocked loose by those falls! And when I realized it was just my lip and gums that were injured, I was in high spirits that I was actually smiling and laughing!<br />
<br />
As it turned out, I had a swollen, bleeding lip, a bloody, scraped elbow (I had taken most of the layers of skin off) and a small deep cut in my hand. Nice, though, as I could finally claim of my first set of concert injuries; and as a bonus, they weren't serious at all!<br />
<br />
Apparently, Ivette got her "battle scar" as well; a tiny cut on her hand that that she could barely even locate the next day. I lub her XD ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm driving myself crazy with my picture of 2D I'm composing on MSPaint. I keep picking at it, making slight and major changes...usually making it better. It's taking a lng time, though, and it doesn't even look good. Also, I thought the background looked too plain, so I added a Japanese latern, but it looks like crap! I might just take it out...<br />
<br />
In other news, I've been out with my cousins today so I couldn't do much else except work on the 2D thing at night. It's so late that I don't feel like submitting anything now... but tomorrow!!!<br />
<br />
Also, my mum had her gallbladder taken out on Friday and is recooperating now. Before the surgery, though, my supah cousin had people prey for her. Yay! Now that it's over, it's so hard for her to move from one spot to another and she can barely eat anything! I feel so bad! We all hope she feels well again soon. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Man, I just submitted a ton on photos...and I few more are coming tomorrow, as well as maybe a drawing...I'm also working on a simple pic of 2D on MSPaint. Yeah, know that program is crappy, but I think it will come out well...or acceptable...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yep, this week is finals week at my school. I am stressed. I want to do well on these things and final exams can really fuck up your grades if you do poorly enough. <br />
Just got done with my history and geometry finals, those two were probably the hardest, and I did better on the history than I thought I would. I did really bad on geometry, however. After a while, I wasn't even trying...I'm not usually this crappy with that class :/<br />
<br />
Anyway...two more days and school eez ovah! I can do more art after that...and b wit mah boi dur dur...I'm insane, leave me alone...<br />
