Alright, so, silliest party ever, but, hey, when you get me, Brit, and Popsicle together in a room, we gonna go nuts.
Public service announcement: Pizza isn't good for inhalation!
xD
I got a brand new book, and another gift card I have to go back there to use, and a gift card to a place I've never been. Woohoo?
I got a Scorpio necklace from Brit, big surprise to those who know her. xDDDD To those who don't, she's our neighborhood fortune teller.
J'était triste que mon amie francaise ne puisse pas etre la.
Popsicle gave me the bestest card ever! It's so awesome I broke grammar rules just to tell you how awesome it was! xD
The new book is absolutely beautiful - it even smells nice! (Yes, I'm a bookworm. Sad, ain't it?)
Two new Cd's.
Skillet, who I was not expect, I just discovered a few days ago, and who I am already in love with. (And, guess what, they're kind of emo. Oh emos, I love your music.) And One-X!!!!! I've been trying to get that damn CD since middle school!
Oh, and many thanks to Azzy/Derrik/WhatthehellshouldIcallyougoddamnit. I know I thanked you already, but I totally didn't see that coming.
I have new inking pens! ^^
And two of the most awesome t-shirts ever!
ANywho, now that I'm done being randomly happy, I can return to my emo music.

So, after long consideration, I decided to name my hamster Cornelius.
(I considered Socrates, but my mother said we could call the hamster ball a Socra-Ball..... -.-)
So, I went and looked at the hamsters.... and decided on one.
...
But she's a female hamster.
And by then, I was dead set on Cornelius, so I have a girl hamster named Cornelius.
I usually just call her Corny.
Well, first night she was here, she rearranged all her bedding while I was sleeping. While I was at school today, she clogged up two tubes with bedding and fell asleep in her food bowl. Which is cute, confusing, but cute.
My cat loves her. When Corny's off in the hamster ball, it's like her own little cat toy. -.-'
And she bit me already... well, she wasn't sure if I was food or not, y'know?
At least, that's the story I'm sticking to.

I was tirrrrred.
But I got to fifth and the creative juices were starting to flow, and I was doing much better by the time I got out of random off-task sketching - I mean Physics.
So, here's how it goes down:
I've just gotten my ticket for homecoming (we have the coolest bracelets this time xD), so I walk back to the bike racks to get my bike and head home.
When I get it, one of the panniers(the red basket things) is a little off.
When I open it up to load my stuff, then I notice the smell.
Someone left me a little "present".
And if the find the person who shit in my pannier, they are going to eat that shit.
It's damn dangerous. My backpack's too heavy to ride the whole way with it on my back, and what I do empty out will unbalance my bike.
And the office was closed when I got there.
So...
day totally ruined.

Anywho, my to-do list for the weekend:
Find a good spork for feeding someone their own shit;
Meet up with Caroline;
Make Two Sophmore t-shirts with my and Kimmy's design and a join the club shirt;
Draw Jake in a tutu;
go to homecoming;
and get some more room cleaning done.

Trying to go to SCCG meeting tonight! Starting re-drawing of A Muffin Short, entrenched in Homework, I have a new sketchbook (and I don't know why).
Alright!
In other news, no Myfyme's for a while.

So, that's all I have for now.
Bye-a!

Anywho, now that I've been all mysterious and mushy, I can move on to the important things. Like mandatory, government-instituted torture! I mean, school. I got stuck in normal chem and I can't get out. Physics, anybody?
*sigh*
I miss summer so bad. I actually DID stuff this summer for once!
Anywho, I'm kind of sketching around and committing myself to those first pages of Sidetracked. They're way overdue. So, working out the "proposal draft". *coughcoughroughsketchescoughcough* of the first nine or ten pages, then showin' 'em off.
If anyone, especially you random watchers who I haven't talked to for decades (zoonrobot?), has any suggestion for in-class, holy-crap-Mr.Arthur-is-boring sketches, I need ideas! This guy is killing me!
So, um..... yeah.
SACANIME KICKED ASS.
End of story.
I got.. coolest prints.... and three FMA volumes.... and a pin.... and, uh..... a bookmark!
One day I will have a table at the Con. Just you wait!!!!

Also, tons more writing. I got some legal pads, so I've been incessantly scribbling away on them. I had interesting idea that I'm writing a couple blurbs for, but I may not do the whole story. Or I may do it after I'm done with Myfyme's. Unsure.
Speaking of Myfyme's: halfway through the seventh chapter, busting all personal records for story length. And I'm not out of steam yet. Yay! ^^
So, everything's going great, just in time for school to come in and wreck everything. We'll see how long my motivation lasts under their torture. Hope it's longer than last year, yes?
I'm going to miss summer so bad.
(I somewhat wish I was back in Tampa, so that I could visit a nice warm gulf beach with my friends in the summer. We only have cold beaches, and those are too far away. xP)

Because they require access to the internet to install their games, I cannot install Portal. I got that for my goddamn birthday. Ugh. My computer has no internet. Furthermore, on several attempts to link it to the internet, all have failed for unknown reasons.
And I have tried frickin' everything. (God, I wanted to use the f-word there.)
*sigh*
Reading is fun!
I finished some more Weis and Hickman, moved on to Nero Wolfe (author is Rex Stout), who is fabulous, btw.
Anywho, still got my blond-haired kid. -.O ^^
In other news, I need to get out of the house. See you all! ^^

She's got a journal entry all written up that I may be posting for her sometime in the next two weeks. And yes, I changed her av - with her permission, of course. She's been through a lot, so don't become a pack of ravenous wolves for information when she finally returns, okay?

Anywho... life.
Schools almost over. ^^
Which means I'll have a lot more time for drawing and recreating and modding soon. I'm not fighting with the person of the last journal anymore.
Hey, what can I say? It was a stupid argument to perpetuate.

All's well for me, anyways. I can't wait until school is done.
Summer brings with it... a certain optimism.
I'm also hoping to start writing again. I mean, I have lots of people who would read it, and so many story ideas....
I might as well go start now!
Well, I'll talk to you all soon. ^^

Movie was AWESOME! Go see it NOW!

And now:
Anywho, it reminds me of me and 'rina's fight, because it's stupid and ended up with no speaking. Although, usually, my worst fights always end up with the best friends. (Wtf?)
Those who have known me longest (cough, cough, Brit) will understand this the best.
I have to give a language advisory, and a rifle squad advisory:
The matter is settled. Do not hunt him down on cyberspace, do not hunt him down in real life, do not harass him in any way shape or form. This is done, over with, not to be spoken of.

And for entertainment purposes, the actual fight (Note, chronologically, the dA battle started first, but both were pretty much simultaneous) (Also, I think we can all tell which one's me - better grammar.):

dA:
nope... none at all... *yawn*

xD
Yawn?
Get out of the drawing crowd, you slacker.

slacker? and what makes you say that? just cuz I suck at drawing humans most certainly does not make me a "slacker." in actuality, im just majorly out of practice... besides, i prefer to draw creatures of my own creation, which i will get to now... need to have something good done by wednesday, or a few things anyway... enough with my pointless rant... and i yawned cuz i was tired... *yawn*

Majorly out of practice? MAJORLY OUT OF PRACTICE????
Let me tell you something, man, being majorly out of practice does NOT make you forget the entirety of your figure drawing basics.
And I call you a slacker because you nearly never do anything in English, you rarely walk home, and you do presque nothing in P.E.. Never assume my reasons for doing anything ever again.
Even those require some basic of joints, which should be somewhat transferable to humans - c'mon, get with the program, It, we're animals too.
O.o Ooookay, whysat?

Uh-huh, suuuuure you did. *eyeroll*

1. did i SAY animals? 2. you make me laugh, only because i have better things to be doing than that stupid crap at school, dont you realise this? and i walk home all to often... i havent been recently because ive been trying to get home faster... 3. i am tired, i was up half of last night because of the heat combined with my restless mind keeping me awake, so dont assume what i am thinking, ok?

1. *eyeroll* Any animal creature is going to follow similar rules. Except snakes.
2. Where the hell did that come from? Were we talking about you laughing? Noooo. And that sentence made no sense for those of us outside your head. All too often. And no, you really don't.
3. O.o I was making a joke. You really have an issue with those joke things, don't you? And if you're over heated, use less blankets and don't wear as much. Can't help with your head. I usually use music and/or exhaustion....

did i EVER say ANIMAL? NO! pay attension to what im saying... and it makes sence... considering that restating it wont help, ill simplify it so your brain can comprehend it, i said i was laughing (at you, duh, cuz you are something to laugh at when you say im a slacker, hahahahaha, ill just laugh at you in person tommarrow, that sounds much more fun) and that i had better things to do than school work... also better things to think about... but whatever, i dont even CARE if you THINK im a slacker, i know your wrong, so call me whatever you want, i realy dont care anymore, doesnt metter, cant wait to laugh in your face when i get a better job than you, and make more money, and all you have ever said was that i was a slacker... oh how fun that day will be...

Define "better". I just want to enjoy my job. And you're never going to get anywhere if your grades suck that bad.

You said creature. And, last I checked, there were a large number of creatures that were animal based. Creature almost connotates animalistic, so maybe you should check your word choice before you send.
And I don't care what you think, or what "better stuff" you've got going on, you are indeed a slacker. Join the club. We have shirts. xD
Keep dreaming, cause, It, laugh in my face all you like, I really don't are. I don't like me much either, so, why are you threatening me with anything so trivial?

And why exactly are you overreacting?
I honestly didn't do much and you blew it up into a giant hate fest, so....
I think I'll be the better man and say, "Settle down and explain yourself."
(Idk how that sentence makes any sense at all. Ignore it.)

grades in high school and grades in college have nothing to do with each other, thats like saying that apples and lemons go hand in hand, wether or not both are fruit and both make good juice is irrelivent, one is nothing like the other. and exploded? im sitting over here laughing my ass off at you thinking im... ]]> ~mage-116 http://mage-116.deviantart.com/journal/24695552/ http://mage-116.deviantart.com/journal/24695552/ Sun, 10 May 2009 22:53:20 PDT I really.. I hung up on him, and it was not right and it was not nice, and, well, he really was hurt. This is going to haunt me for a bit.

So, spent the weekend up at San Francisco - San jose. Wen t out to Alcatraz and took the entire audio tour in French and understood most of it! Oddly, what I understood best was the directions, like walk down the hallway and turn left type directions. It was hilarious and odd.
Walked about a bit in San Fran. I got the most beautiful pearl necklace. Pinkish tint, which is really unimportant, but it really gleams and it's abnormally large. Had it set in a plain, plain pendant and put on an eighteen inch white gold (which is so bogus, but they didn't have silver) chain. It's absolutely gorgeous - I need something to where it with or an occasion to wear it on now.
Homecoming, yes?
Anywho, we went down to San Jose to check out the Winchester house - in case you don't know, it was designed by the widow of the man who owned the company who created the Winchester rifle. The widow believed that she was being haunted by the spirits of all the people killed by the Winchester rifle. Supposedly, to appease the spirits, she held seances with them and they told her how to build her house.
There are all sorts of wacky stuff - doors that open to a wall, a chimney which stops a foot from the ceiling, windows that open to other rooms, courtyards with no entrance and doors to the cellar, stairs that wrap around a hundred feet to go nine feet up, and at least two doors that open to an 8+ foot fall - one of which is a fall outside the house, one inside.
I napped in the car twice in the past 48 hours. And I usually never nap. But, after falling down the stairs in my house and injuring my ankle, nearly falling down them again the next day, and then nearly falling down concrete stairs, I nearly got the distinction of falling down the stairs in Winchester Mansion.
Can't wait to see the Star Trek movie. A, because of who I'm going with, -.O, and B, because it's STAR TREK!
Later to all of you,
- The Double G, wankers.

Sunday was awesome. Got to see my good friend Brit, and my... oh, hell, let's just go with "co-conspirator".
Went over to his house afterwords.
I'd like to say something, but at the same time it's kind of private and not quite fair, so you'll all have to learn patience.

Mais, il a, il a, grr, je veux le dit, mais je ne peux pas!

I'm feeling better now than when I started writing this, mainly because of the large time frame between starting this and ending it.

But may I just say this - no matter how bad it may seem, take some time, unwind, and get ready to take the next blow.

Because we all need a little break sometimes before we start running again.

I should probably cut back on those kinds of comments.
Damn, I love this song. I totally can't believe they played it at the dance.
THEY PLAYED AN ACTUALLY GOOD SONG AT THE DANCE!!!!!
Well, at least two.

I GOT MY COMPUTER BACK.
Best weekend ever.

I am so hopeless.
And the cynical side of my brain keeps telling me it'll never last....

]]> ~mage-116 http://mage-116.deviantart.com/journal/23803677/ http://mage-116.deviantart.com/journal/23803677/ Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:12:23 PDT I BROKE MY GLASSES!!!!!
And now, they're back again.
Actually, they're sort of Franken-glasses. Those of you that have known me for a while known that I have had the same brand of frames in three different colors over the years. Silver have been the last two pairs. So, I took my last pair and popped the lenses out of those, and took my newer pair and popped the lenses out of THOSE and put them in the older frames. The only problem was that the older frames were lopsided, so we went and got them straightened (which, by the way, is free). so, free new franken-glasses.
I ordered manga in french. It will be here in early April. I don't want to wait that long!!!!
We have a dance coming up a school, sort of a specialty girls-ask-guys deal. The moment I say this, those of you who have know me really know me are going to ask who I am and what happened to your cynical, anti-love-and-god-and-Republicans friend, but, I, um.....
I asked someone.
And he said, "Okay."
(I'm going to have to call the mental hospital.)
(Still me, people!)

Anywho, as a direct result, all my watchers have been referred to a nearby insane asylum. The whitecoats will be coming to take you soon.
Thankies to for the new avvie. (The original was the entire Ode to Flapjacked, but due to file size it could not be used... it will be missed.) Everybody go tell her how awesome it is!
Mage wants to do a Medi-Fant comic.... but she cannae draw Medi-Fant.... (But I write it impressively.)

I'll get around to doing my 1,000 pageview special. (I'm probably flapjacking Popsicle again....) If anyone has someone they'd like to see take a pancake to the face, let me know. Except, of course, Pete. Even if he took a pancake to the face, you wouldn't be able to /see/ him.

I finally saw the end of the fourth season of Doctor Who. It was trippy and sapppy and... well, I'll admit I loved it. ^.^ I'm starting to think that if it weren't for the Brits, we'd have about one watchable television show.... (Or maybe I just need to stop watching so much BBC America....)

]]> ~mage-116 http://mage-116.deviantart.com/journal/23268736/ http://mage-116.deviantart.com/journal/23268736/ Wed, 18 Feb 2009 10:06:38 PST
Let's recap what I haven't posted:
In November, I got mad because I didn't want to do something and SHE escalated it into this huge deal which ended up with her stealing all my drawing books, most of my manga, and a ton of other books as well as my computer whilst I, in an incredibly stupid bright idea of mine, ended up stuck on the roof. (And SHE claimed it was because I escalated it.) Yeah...
She also called my Dad, who was going to be delivering my hundred bucks in birthday money from my Grandmother that day, and told him not to bring it. I still haven't gotten it. And when my Grandma called to see what I'd spent it on, I told her, "I haven't yet." I also had to thank her for money I never got. I couldn't bring myself to tell her I've never seen a cent of it.
I've been slowly stealing most of the books back, and she missed my Bleach collection (which has grown since) the first time round, because it wasn't in my bookshelf or by my art books or on my desk, and recently she gave them back to me (though there was a bit of a communication problem when she gave me permission to take them, so I'm only actually moving them back to my room today).

Now, she claims the whole reason she got mad at me, was because she thinks that I NEED human contact, and that sitting around the house all day with nothing to do depresses me. (Which is doesn't: I have plenty to do and I like it just fine.) (Oh, she also claims that this time, it was my fault that it escalated, too, when really, she's the one who made a whole big deal out of my optional activity.) It seems to me that she just pitches a fit whenever I don't exactly fit HER plan, and I turn out not to be exactly who she thinks I am.

Anywho she left me two things to entertain myself with: art and music. She has yet to attack the latter (thank god - who may or may not exist), and has threatened the former?????
It seems to me that she's purposefully trying to make my break depressing by being mad at me and taking away all the stuff I can do. Isn't that kind of... I don't know... backwards?
She doesn't want me to be depressed and have nothing to do, so she depresses me and tries to take away the stuff I can do?????

Needless to say, I slept with two pencils (one for each kind of lead), two things of lead (One H, One HB), two erasers (on clicky, one normal), and a clipboard with some paper under my pillow last night. All the rest of my drawing stuff, along with my Mp3 player and my favorite gum, has been stashed in a hopefully safe place. I feel kind of... paranoid. Last night I laid in the dark for at least an hour with no music or activity, with my own stink and my own hunger and my own terror, because I was afraid that if I left, even to go to the bathroom or to eat or to take a freakin' shower, for just a minute, I would come back and my stereo, or my art stuff, or my Bleach, or my art books, would be gone, and this time I wouldn't be able to find them. That's the environment I live in right now.

On a happier note, I'm like five away from 1,000 pageviews.
Oh, and Popsicle: I want an avvie!!!!

I should seriously give up pens. It always turns out as somewhat of a disaster.
And yes, for you love-freaks, I did do a V-Day special... but this is me, so, yes, there's no mushiness or love-inspiring happiness. Yes, that's right, it's gags.
But hey, as Mr. Buffet said: "If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane." (Although personally, I prefer his line, "If we weren't all crazy, we would go insane.")
Yes, I'm just typing whatever randomly comes to mind. But my journals have never been that stable anyways. If you want to read an actual freakin' journal, go read Brit's.
Le vent, il souffle! Et souffle, et souffle, et souffle...

I need something to draw!!!! *dies*

I drew six pages... only four are worthy of posting, so they're here.
The conspiracy of ppl who think I like Sir Phillip has now grown to 8 peeps...
Yet, I've mentioned him about once before, because I nicknamed him Sir Phillip Sydney and because there was something he wouldn't tell me. Ever been around someone who likes someone? They just go on and on and on and on about them. Yech.

Running low on artisticness.... ah!

I wore a v-neck today. It was all I had clean.
I have a lot of drawings... will update soon!!!!!
Cupid's dance is tonight... guess who's not going.
On a side note, they're raffling off dances with people. How much of a whore would you have to be to agree to be raffled?

Life update: I'm alive.
The Niji-Ijiwaru comic is on temporary hold while I re-plan it. Disregard Sadie - she's just there for kicks.

For right now, I'm practicing drawing with minimal under-drawing. NO FULL MATCHSTICK! That's why the Sadie ones were so quick!

Can anyone tell me who the hell this davidxyou person is and why his spelling sucks? (Also, why he thinks I might be Manon, whose name he can't spell.) Britney? Help?

My pens are frickin' awesome!

I spent my new year's day rediscovering how annoying my own generation, and those younger than myself, can be at parties. Long live crazy adults. They're the only thing that prevented me from killing that 12-year-old.
She asked to draw in my sketchbook. MY SKETCHBOOK!!!!
(For those of you wondering what the hell is wrong with that, you don't know me very well at all, do you?)

Only two more days of break....
But I feel like it's been a very satisfying break, and I'm ready to face the idiocy once more. And, hopefully, make a few sarcastic jokes about it.

Anyone who actually likes doing these stupid things. (Vash...)

My Christmas rocked. Oh, and the day after, I went to S.F. (those of you who live in this area, it's to the west, and it's really awesome. Too many stairs though.) My most awesome X-mas presents: actually frickin' Japanese inking pens, the official kind for manga; software to edit manga (Manga Studio 4, if you've ever heard of it); a scarf made from alpaca-silk yarn that matches my turquoise hat; fingerless gloves that match the same hat (I have purple zebra striped ones too); two band tee's, one Linkin Park and one My Chemical Romance (those of you who know my musical tastes really well know I'm really, really stoked)(It occurs to me that Caro knows the most about my musical tastes...); a strategy game called ninja versus ninja; and a tiny digital camcorder.

Plucking them must be very popular in my-drawing-land, because none of them seem to have eyebrows. I've also discovered that they don't have any good architects, because all of their banisters seem to be screwy.
But nevermind the shortcomings, that all turn out to be my fault, which I assign to purely fictional characters.

I found a picture of Pete the other day. At least, I think it was a picture of Pete. It showed a tree without any leaves and had "Pete" written in sparkly purple gel pen on the back. (God, I love Pete/Ralph/Carl jokes. Your move, Popsicle.)

I learn something new every day. (Although it isn't necessarily something worth knowing.) For instance, did you know they were doing High School Musical on Ice? All those who like High School Musical, make yourselves visible so the sane people can shoot you. I mean, seriously. First off, high schoolers don't sing unless they're reasonably good at it and are showing off or purposefully bad and trying to annoy somebody. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare embarrass themselves that way. Heck, I'm surprised liking a disney movie that scary isn't social suicide yet.
(For those of you who actually like High School Musical and would like to kill me, take a number. The Eragon fans have first dibs.)

No Aikido for two weeks. More drawing time for me!

If anybody wants me to draw anything, now's the time to ask, because I might actually get bored enough and art-starved enough to draw something somebody asks me to draw. (I don't always end up drawing what I wanted to draw, so... *shrug*)

Some of my hair disappeared while I was sleeping. It's shoulder length now. It's awesome because it's easier to take care of, and I look really good in beanies. I resisted the urge to get a bang streak, though. I kind of want a temp one.

I've gotten back to writing (yet again). I've got a whole world set up with a map and everything, so here's hoping it goes somewhere this time. I just can't seem to figure out what story I want to write. I'm writing it by hand, though (sorry, trees) because my computer is AWOL. I think it ran off with my disappearing hair.

There are other Dragonlance nerds in the world. So there.

New nicknames to random people: Scarred, Popsicle, Scottie, Knee-To-The-Face-Dude, Guy-I-Don't-Know, He-Who-Has-No-Nickname, Sir Phillip Sydney, and... actually, that's it.

My drawing style has changes a lot since I drew it...

I started a project for myself:
The Page-a-day comic project!!!!
It ended up being "Ninja Elf". (Go read it!)
Currently there are five pages, and I'm working on the sixth (which turns out to be page zero). Four and five are resting with someone else right now, so you're just going to have to wait. (It's my longest comic yet!!!! Yay!!!!!)
I'm sorry about the slight issues with the scans - the pencil is really light on the first two pages. Where it's going - nobody knows! Especially not me...

This is a snuggie (the ridiculous commercial is on this site too): [link]

Actually, I'm almost done scanning. (Heh heh... I just got to astro.)

I'm forcing ninjapuff to help me w/my drawing skills.

Pete's retiring! I'm sorry you missed his party, but you didn't miss much, 'cause all the guests were ninjas, and, y'know, you just can't see ninjas.

I didn't get to scan up all my stuff!!!!
Oh, well. I will find a day to bring you all up to speed soon.

I started drawing this random thing. School peeps'll see it tomorrow, probs.

Heroes Alley is having a mini-manga convention for SCCGers. If you can, drop by. (I certainly plan to.)

(Brit's already expressed that she isn't mad at me, and Sephro is, apparently, a robot, and cannot get mad at me, so I'm in the clear -- yeah, that's right, I don't care what the rest of you think.)

You just got flapjacked!

I changed my siggy, so it reflects of myriad of weird little lines I've come up with.

Enjoy my short little story - it is completely random, I know, but it was for English class.

RAMEN IS AWESOME - I eat mine with chopsticks.

For those of you reading "Don't Ask" and going, "WTF?": Look at the title ppl. DON'T ASK. (Sephro and Brit are the only ones who can get mad at me. Whether or not they can ask...? As Brit would say: meh.)

Alright! I'm starting up a manga again. Workin' on charrie sheets. My good friend ninjapuff's doin' the inkin'. (Wow. How many red squigglies can you get in one coherent sentence containing no crime but abbreviation?)
I'm still trying to figure out what it's going to be about...

This girl in my french class is having a masquerade ball for her sweet sixteen. She's dressing up as Marie Antoinette. Is it just me, or didn't the french kill her?
I want cake. -.-'

(Ha ha!!! "Poke your damn eye out jutsu".... For those of you who don't get this, you'll just have to read it when ninjapuff posts it.)

There are some ppl in my math class who are trying to get me to work for the school tutoring program. I really don't like putting up with ppl. It pays money, though...
Screw the money I have rules!

On that note...
Je deteste tout le monde! (Except all my friends, most of which will read this at some point. JENN MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE FOR HER CRIMES!)

I'd just like to say that, whether or not you like the French or their language, you should listen to A Cause De Garcons by Yelle. (There are some accents in there, but I'm not sure how to put them in.)

I still have art fever!

I'm doing lots of random stuff. Too much to fit right now.

Just had my youngest step-brother's birthday party. My incredibly annoying and fashion/popularity oriented step-cousin was completely different looking and could totally not pull off the hairstyle she was wearing. Ick.

Which reminds me, I need to get a haircut... I wanna put a streak in it. Like, black or blue or red or something non-normal. And I need a straightener, because my hair keeps curling into my mouth. Ick.

Alright, talk to y'all next time.

I've gone from semi-contentment back into the necessary period of practice. The cycle of art.

I'm re-reading the first book of the Death gate Cycle - eat your heart out Tolkien! Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have you beat! (Skill-wise.)
If you can find it, read it. If I start posting sketches of the charries, don't be surprised. Oh, and they also did Dragonlance, which also kicks butt. And some other stuff which probably also kick even more butt.

I watched Hero - it's a martial arts film. It's a wonderful film - there's this whole thing about ideals, and - ART PRINCIPLE - they change the color scheme for the different tales the hero tells, to convey the different moods. I loved that most.

Finally, I've got, like, drawing fever. Must... go... draw!

I'd like to take this moment to point out "WWND?". Pay very close attention to those ninjas. I love drawing them.

I'm dressing up tomorrow. Nothing specific, just a semi-kimono and my new sandals w/ my sword. If I can manage to pull off a piccy w/ my hair in my face in costume, I'll put one up. I like to protect my anonymity. Or maybe I'll just draw it from a piccy. Or do a chibi. Who knows, eh?

Hopefully, they're be work showing up soon based on an idea I've had for a vampire story.
Basically, it's to poke fun at all the people who are into Twilight, because for goodness sake's, none of them were at all interested in vampires until that book came out (with some exceptions, but it annoys me, so there), and I get the feeling that it's pretty stereotypical as well, although I've never read it, mainly because it's a romance, and I'd rather expel my recent lunch from the same opening it came in through than read a romance that already ticks me off without me having even read it. I mean, whatever book is popular, people go around and proclaim it's great and that I should absolutely read it, like they did with Eragon, and, whilst I have read Eragon, only because it fell in my genre, only to come away with the compulsive urge to find and strangle the author for being so cliche. It's really obvious that he used his parent's positions as publishers to get that mindless piece of worthlessness published, because any company in the business of publishing fantasy would have laughed at him and said, "Who do you think you are?" The people who enjoy these senseless pop-culture books need to consume the classics of the genre before they even bother with praising these books to me.
*big breath*
*sigh*
Please, completely ignore that rant. It wasn't the point.
But that won't discourage the Eragon fans from staking out my bedroom and "making an example" of me. Actually, I'm surprised they haven't yet.
Now, where was I?

Oh right. The vampire story I came up with is basically based on the premise of the "screw-up" vampire. Which, I know has been done before, but never involving dogs and alcohol, as far as I know.
That's all I'm saying for the time being.

FRANCE
CANADA
And the number of states I've been to up to:
A LOT, ALTHOUGH I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW MANY, AND I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN TO ANYWHERE IN NEW ENGLAND
But enough of that.)

Drew some stuff, made an awesometastic friend.

Took tons of photos (might put up some good ones).

I speak a little french, so it was totally cool being in Canada, 'cause everything's in French and English - they have to, it's the law.

Love to my friends, hate to my enemies, a wary, semi-threatening glance at yogurt, and indifference to everyone else.

(It's pronounced Mah-jay. Just kidding. If you pronounce it that way, I'll kill you.)

I'm cheerful, which is weird.




TITE KUBO'S GONNA BE AT COMIC-CON!!!!!
(I wanna go to comic-con...*cries*)

All I got to say for now.
See ya!

To my good friend aopoet04:
I was looking back at our old script thing, and I'm trying to work on it (First I have to reformat the entire script - ugh.) but it's really hard, and I was kind of wondering if you wanted to try working on the same type of project again, but starting from scratch and working in proper format.
Tell me!

This one's really funny, so, hey:

Alright, writing project is officially dead. Though I loved the title.
Just came back from Brit's (aopoet04) birthday thingy. (Not really a party, just a thingy.)
I burned my finger.
Anywho(m?)...
Made a new friend. (Awesometasticness!) Started a new project. Made amesometastic plans.

Oh, and, extra bonus birthday present to my dear friend, you can request something! (May take me a while to getting around to drawing it, but you can make a request anyways.)

Btw, if anyone runs into Caroline, treat like she's a bitch, kk? She's been a bitch recently and I'm still pretty mad at her.

I hate all of you ppl - except the ones I don't hate.

Later!

I've read quite a variety of manga... hmmm...
Vampires v. ghost whisperers v. angels v. magic knights v. ninjas v. martial artists v. shinigami(the coll black kimono wearing kind) v. True Fist Practitioners v. Theives(accompanied by a cute magic animal - it's best /not/ to ask...) v. Assassins(w/guns)...
Who would win a fight like that?
Hmmm... that would make for an interesting series of drawings...
I think I'll work on that.
I call it - The Tournament of Manga!
(Yeah, we'll see how far that goes. I may just quit out in the middle. But I'll try it.)
(Btw, in order, the "combatants" are from Vampire Game, Yurara, Pita Ten, Magic Knights Rayearth, Naruto, Shaolin Sisters, Bleach, Bo-bobo Bobobo-bo, D.N.Angel, Black Cat.)

Third class of Aikido today. I'm do break falls. (I think that's what they're called.) Anyways, it's exhausting.

My mood emoticons won't load, so I'm just going to have to tell you. I'm Bleh. That floating between "I'm fine.", "I don't know.", "I'm bored.", and "Life sucks." I'm kind of excited now that I have a project to work on that I'm interested in.

Although...

I'm kind of thinking of drawing up some character sketches for yet another probably short-lived manga idea. That's all I'm saying right now.
For the time being, I'm writing the story instead, under the title "When Fate Spits In Your Eye, You Can't Blink Fast Enough". (Which I may abbreviate for my deviation titles.) First part today!

Whelp, I think I've moseyed around wasting time writing this for long enough. I'll get back to you soon enough.

L needs to get some sleep...

--UPDATE--

I just finished reading Death Note.
No, I didn't get to the end, but it just wasn't any fun anymore after L/Ryuuzaki/Ryuuka died.
(And we didn't learn his name!!!! *tear*)

In other news...
I've got drawing class today. (Wheee!)
And I should probably go make myself some lunch now.
WAHA!

I started Aikido Saturday.
I started on this drawing class Friday.
(It's taught by this guy: [link])
I've kinda been thinking I should move up from the beginner class. It's sort of.... reviewy.

Drew something new! (Yeah, I know, it's been a while.)

Ummm... yeah...

Love to my friends, hate to my enemies, and indifference to the rest of you.

See ya!

What's worse, I have this sword that flips from doing fire damage during the day (Dawnfang) to doing ice damage at night (Duskfang). Not too bad, right? Except... /Zombies take higher damage from flame./ So, one minute I'm goin' through zombies like popcorn chicken, the next I'm struggling for my life. Should've planned THAT out better.

But enough nerdish wallowing.

I just finished inking Hitsugaya-Taichou a little while ago. It still stinks of Sharpie.

My life is going slowly...

I've always been that way. I put myself out on a limb and trust the world to respect that.
Wanna guess how many time I've been utterly wrong?
Well, one just came up. One that referenced most all the rest.
I've gotten a little tougher (of late), but I used to cry or lose my temper very easily. And it got taken advantage of. I was weak. I was open. I was provoked. A lot.
...
...
...
Yeah.
It was anything too serious. It was just really... emotional. I had a lot of regrets. I felt really bad. I was suicidal for a bit. It was... problematic... to say the least.
...
So, I expressed an opinion recently. And one of my friends (Get this, this is my /friend/.) calls me a frickin' bully for it.
Wait for it..

AS IF I DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MYSELF ALREADY!!!!
SHE KNEW! SHE KNEW I HAD ISSUES AND SHE WENT AND...
Ugh...
Just ruined a perfectly good mood.
Time to reconsider who my friends are.

ORIGINAL ENTRY:
Okay, point one:
Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, Episode 29 just came out. (Yay!)
Point Two:
If you're gonna rip off my work, ask first.
Point Three:
Friend o' mine had this quiz thingy up on her journal, so I decided to take it. Here goes:

Not a romantic relationship, no.

Half -- a quarter from each side of the family.
7. Are you Asian?
Not at all.
8. Are you Irish?
A quarter!
9. Are you British?
Well, if you count the fact that Ireland is a part of Great Britan, then yes, partially, but if you don't, then, no, although I do watch British television sometimes. (Yay Whose Line It Is It Anyway!!!!)
10. Are your parents still married?
No.

Ten Facts:

1. Birth Place:
Florida - on the gulf coast!

It's complicated. Some blond, some mousy brown, some red-blond, some platinum blond, some darker brown...

Little over mid-back, with some layering and bangs - I've been pulling it back into a ponytail of late.

Blue! (Some variety thereof.)
6. Birthday:
Nov 16th, man.

Giddy.

Ten Things About Your Love Life (6 and 8 are missing):

1. Have you ever been in love?
No.
2. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Sort of. Not really.
3. Why did your last relationship fail?
What last relationship? O.O
4. Have you ever been hurt?
Not really. Seeing as I don't get into this kind of thing, and I sort of expect rejection.

No idea, but probably not.
7. Have you ever liked someone but never told them?
OF COURSE! (Hasn't everyone?)
9. Have you hugged someone within the last week?
Erm...yes, actually. But it was a friend I hadn't seen in a while.

Well, if I knew, it wouldn't be a secret, now would I? (Actually? No... unless they were pretty secretive about it.)

O.O Love. Lust is stupid and short-lived.

Mixed. I like to have my few besties, then some other friends to fill in the rest of life.
5. Television or Internet?
The net.
6. Pepsi or coke?
I'm opposed to carbonated beverages. They sting my tongue.
7. Wild night out or romantic night in?
Depending on your definition of "wild". If it's a decent concert, then I'm in. I'm not much into the mushie-gushies anyways, but a romantic night in's cool too.

Some of my poems may offend you!

I just finished reading what may be the last dragonlance book EVER - Amber and Blood of the Dark Disciple Trilogy. *cries*

It's there because I might do another one. But I'm not sure. The cable-needle knife was random inspiration, and while it'd be fun to do another, I'm not sure if I could find more inspiration like that. So the one and the question mark remain... for now....
