                <description><![CDATA[ To help me. D;<br /><br />Sometime in the next month or two I'll probably be getting an interview for art college, I'd like to take some of my pics from DA with me to include in my portfolio, but I'm rather stuck on what ones. XD So I decided to let you guys have a say in this. All you have to do is reply here with the names of some pics. It'll be a massive help to someone as indecisive as myself. >_>; <br /><br />I'm preferably looking to include art featured in the first two pages of my gallery (Which saves you guys time). Of course if there is anything else in particular you like further back in my gallery, just say so as well. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />-Mai<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been meaning to do this for a while now, and here we are at last! XD<br /><br />Whether you're someone who watches me, faves my work, sends me lovely comments or happens to know me irl and accepts my craziness, thank you.<br /><br />Particular thanks to the several people who've viewed/faved/commented on "The Magician", that one has certainly taken me by surprise. A pleasant surprise mind you. Of course, anyone who has shown appreciation for any of my art deserves a big thank you as well, you've all made me feel very happy. XD<br /><br />Keep up the awesome everyone! >8D<br /><br />-Mai<br /><br /> ]]></description>

(And a whole load more Fai ;D )<br /><br />On a random note, cheese on toast is actually ok. D8 I used to like it, then my dad made some really horrid stuff so I didn't like it anymore, and suddenly my mother decided to make me some today (I'm not sure why myself XD ) but it's very yummy. Maybe its a mother thing? O.o<br /><br />Ah wells, till next time!<br /><br />-Mai<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ To all you watching, faving, commenting, and all that jazz. ;D I heart you all. Thankies very muchly, if we get to 2000 pageviews, I'll do some kind of smexy pic to say thankies. I will do my best to keep providing vaguely decent pics! 8D<br /><br />Requests are closed for now. But if I find schoolwork isn't getting in the way I may open them. As usual, if you are INTERESTED in making a request feel free to say so. <br /><br />The point being, if I get the time I will open the requests. I will open them as well if a few people say they want something. (But if I'm still busy at the time, you'll have to be patient, ok? XD )<br /><br />NOTE: This is NOT a journal to MAKE requests. XD Its only to say something like 'oh I might want one blah blah'. And requests are free by the way. ;D<br /><br />On a random note: With all this snow, I'm glad my mum found me a mega pair of fluffy snowboots from the loft. XD Only now I wish people would tell me when school is closed sooner, instead of leaving me to trek through the snow to school and then find out. *is a big noob indeed*<br /><br />That's all for now!<br /><br />-Mai<br /><br /><a href="http://pretearclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/r/pretearclub.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpretearclub:" title="pretearclub"/></a><a href="http://fai-lovers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/fai-lovers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfai-lovers:" title="fai-lovers"/></a><a href="http://kuroganexfai.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/u/kuroganexfai.gif?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkuroganexfai:" title="kuroganexfai"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ REQUESTS<br /><br />So, the last lot of requests sorta... fizzled out. If you still want your picture please tell me, because I have already done some and the ones who they're for just don't seem interested anymore (not that I blame them haha).<br /><br />Anyways, I realised I've gone up the ladder of DA life a bit recently, as in, a very VERY small bit. Regardless, it means more people may be interested in requests, yes?<br /><br />So if you are interested in having a piccy from me just leave a message please. 8D If all goes well keep an eye on my journal, as I shall probably open the requests next.<br /><br />RAMBLINGS<br /><br />You know you see some awesome deviations and the 'creator' as such has put a note saying something like "stop faving this I have better stuff in my gallery etc"? I did feel like that recently (mainly because people kept faving something very old that I'm not that fond of, but I'd feel bad getting rid of it, so that's my fault right? XD ). But recently I put a lot of time into something and its recieved a fair few favs, so I'm happy. XD I luffles you all. Don't get me wrong, I like the fact people even look at my stuff, but when things I worked hard on go less appreciated then things that took me literally minutes to do, its somewhat frustrating no?<br /><br />XD Ah wells. Till next time people! (And thankies to you new peeps who are now watching me, I feel embarassed by the love. XD )<br /><br />-Mai<br /><br />(ps: The mood emote things amuse me so much...)<br /><br /><a href="http://pretearclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/r/pretearclub.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpretearclub:" title="pretearclub"/></a><a href="http://fai-lovers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/fai-lovers.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfai-lovers:" title="fai-lovers"/></a><a href="http://kuroganexfai.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/u/kuroganexfai.gif?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkuroganexfai:" title="kuroganexfai"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

XD<br /><br />Anyways, once I've gotten some stuffs out the way this does mean that I may open up the good ol' requests thing again. <br /><br />D: Of course I have not forgotten about you poor guys who I still owe stuff to. If anything, you should be kinda pleased considering I've gotten a lot better n' all, you're going to get much better pics then what was originally done for you all. And because you've been so insanely patient (either that or forgotten/don't care anymore) keep your eyes peeled, you have stuffs coming very soon. 8D<br /><br />-Mai<br /><br /> ]]></description>

And that's just what I did. >___> So over time you'll see more pics turn up in my gallery, this does also mean that I may open requests again. ;__; Which trust me, I can actually fulfill properly this time.

                <description><![CDATA[ So what, it's been about a year now? Since I allowed requests and such? Well lemme tell you, to those who had stuff drawn for them, it's been bugging me just as much as it bugs you that almost a year later there's no pics still. V____V Rest assured my friends, I still have those pictures, however... I'm redoing them all. <br /><br />XD Why? Because just a few minutes ago (upon finally discovering where I'd put them) I realised that the stuff I had done is certainly not as good as the things I'm drawing now (none of the stuff in my gallery currently reflects the kinda of things I do now, so I'm afraid you have to take my word for it). I figured since I've made you all wait so long, it's fair enough to redraw them all better for you. Is that all ok with you guys?<br /><br />I WILL be jumping at the first scanner I find when they're done, as this has annoyed me very muchly that you all couldn't get your pics. V__V (Gawd how many times have I said this?)<br /><br />In any case, it was kinda freaky looking back at the old bits I'd drawn (if not slightly embarassing, oh and if anyone ever gets stuck with their drawings, check out 'www.bakaneko.com' I used it and it was so damn helpful! They have all kinds of tutorials on different subjects when it comes to drawing figures, so it's very cool) ^____^.<br /><br />If I do stumble upon a willing scanner, we shall hopefully get the following up:<br /><br />-Request pics<br />-Two Tsubasa fanarts <br />-Possibly a 1000 hits piccy (assuming we don't get to 2000 by that time)<br /><br />EXPO PLANS/TALK:<br /><br />This may I was Fai D. Flowright from Tsubasa (in his Seresu/Celes outfit), I'll be doing the same cosplay again this october (it's more appropriate for the weather this time of year haha), but there shall be a few added extras, so if you're going I'll see you there! (We'll also have some more cosplays photos on here soon, once I find some vaguely 'normal' ones. Although my close friends will know that's probably not possible XD haha.)<br /><br />That's it for now, till next time!<br /><br />Mai-chan xxx<br /><br />Crumbly I miss yoooooooou!! T_________T *huggles*<br /><br />(Apparantly the mood theme has been weird lately? Well anyways it should be set on artistic, now then time to paint! XD Wooo!)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just because you like to destroy. 8D (Franz Ferdinand yaaay!) <br /><br />Anyhoo, hope you're all well, especially the fellow peeps who are already being harassed about revision, like myself. @_@ I have so many work deadlines within the next few weeks, not to mention every teacher seems to want my full attention on their subject, greedy poops, I don't think they realise it's kinda hard to do... T_T Oh wells eh? <br /><br />Speaking of which, overall people are wanting my attention (something I'm not used to, so it's actually quite strange/annoying) and my friend commented that it's enough to put into a comic... >_____> Which I may do at some point.<br /><br /><_< As for cosplay, well, that's best not mentioned lately, I think I'll be doing it at the last minute again. <br /><br />On a brighter note my older sis is up in london so she's getting me more beyblade manga, which I look forward to very muchly. Mainly because Tala looks even more psycho in the manga, and acts it too, which is a great thing. >_> In my opinion anyways, I reckon we all need a little insanity in our lives. But thinking about it, maybe Tala has too much? XD Oh wells, he's got bright red hair, so that makes him pretty darn great. (That and many other things of course, like his strange love for tight clothing. Interesting that...)<br /><br />Finally erm... British weather... Getting pretty funky no? I'm finally getting rain down here again, which is quite strange to say, since I was wishing it was gone a few weeks ago. Oh wells, I love our weather... it can be so unpredictable throughout the day...<br /><br />That's all for now! ^_______^<br /><br />Mai-chan.<br /><br />(How'd you like my half-decent attempt at being active? Clever no?)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Let's cut it short. Thankies very much to all of you who have been on my page, I have noticed and I'm very grateful for it. ^____^ After what has felt like a long battle I think we're finally going to get that beloved scanner (although I've needed it for work it seems like that wasn't a good enough reason to get one sooner @_@) and that shall be followed by a nice big piccy update. 1+ for the fact that I really should draw a thanks pic. XD<br />
<br />
Hope ya'll enjoy the holidays!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ 0_0 Christmas adverts, catalogue thingies, everything. Well okies they've been out for a little longer but where I am it's getting very bad, like people think it's christmas eve here. XD Anyways that was a random comment so ya can pay attention to that if ya like. <br />
<br />
School for me is... erm I dunno, I got ill and missed about a week's worth, which is quite amusing somehow. >_> Ah wells, I gotta spend a lot of time catching up, though thinking about it most of my teachers will just print all the stuff off that I need and give it to me. The joys of being a lazy yet intelligent child... ^____^ <br />
<br />
I think that's it for now, apart from the fact that I joined <a href="http://pretearclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/r/pretearclub.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpretearclub:" title="pretearclub"/></a> today, which to me is very funky. It's worth checking out  (probably more so if you've watched PrÃ©tear but hey, I suggest ya watch it since it's cool and has bishies in it) Isn't the icon adorable? >w<<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay I have something/s to say. >_> Don't whine this is important, I think it's annoying when people ignore the important bits. Yeah. XD<br />
<br />
Okies I have gotten a request or two, which I may start soon. But as my, well, to put it bluntly, the people who've known me for a fair amount of time on DA will know, scanning and such is at an extreme minimal, and I really don't want to add to the pile just yet. @_@ For everyone's sake. So if ya can hang on for a little while we'll see what happens ok? Plus I have schoolwork now. T____T yaaaaaaay...<br />
<br />
But my hits keep coming so it does show that my stuff is loved even a teeny bit. (Either that or several people have stumbled onto the wrong userpage) XD<br />
<br />
For now stay happy people, and keep on drawing!!<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok I don't think anyone really knew this, but today is my birthday. 8D My 16th birthday in fact. (I've also been given several warnings to be careful because I'm legal now, please don't ask what I'm legal for now, it really should be obvious what floats around in most people's minds these days XD.)<br />
<br />
So yeah that's pretty much it. XD<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah that title was professional. XD<br />
<br />
I've got work experience next week which should be pretty interesting, my day is just running around a photocopying stuff in the place where my dad works. But they're all so very tall there, and I joked that if I come back to school with my neck so bent I'm stuck staring at the ceiling they'll all know why. <br />
<br />
ALSO. It's my birthday soon. 0___0 (25th september people, whooooooo!) Ok it's not THAT soon, but after having actually FORGOTTEN that I was gonna have my birthday soon my friends have taken it upon themselves to remind me t every chance they get. My parents also want to know what I'd like (apart from a pair of really cool sheep wellies) and it suddenly hit me that I REALLY need a scanner... So I asked for a scanner. XD Ok it's not the most ideal prezzie to some but I'd quite like it since I have waaaaay too much stuff to upload. But we'll see how things go.<br />
<br />
Okies that's me done for now, so until next time people!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ First of all thankies to all you who've been watching me, since it's been so long since I've uploaded something yet you guys have managed to get me over 500 hits. It makes me feel happy that you're even visiting my page, but then again you may have a reason for that. That reason is probably "when's that midget gonna upload the picture she promised me?" Yes I am short, very short compared to some who I know are younger than me, yet so much taller. T_T Life sucks very much like that.<br />
<br />
But onto the more important part, your pictures have ALL been finished (as they have been for quite a while) and my scanning problem, well, the fact that I don't have one, will probably be sorted sometime within the next two weeks (ironically by that I don't mean I'm finally getting one). Since I think my lovely friend, who I do owe a lot to, might not mind so much if I ask her to put them up for me. But we'll see how things go. If you really like, I could send you a photograph of what your pic looks like and then find some time to upload them. After all you've been very patient and I'm extremely grateful for that. ^-^<br />
<br />
On a side note if I talked to you a while back about predictions for my gcse grades I can tell you now that I did pretty well! I hope everyone else who got their A level or gcse results did well too! Overall I actually managed to get an A for art! I'm gonna try my best to upload some good drawings for all of you since as I've said to some, with the stuff I have uploaded now, I really don't think it shows that I actually am at an A grade in art. @_@ But I guess that is for you guys to tell, not me. So as long as you all enjoy them I really don't mind. <br />
<br />
I've also gotten into Bleach, and have taken quite a liking to Hitsugaya. XD I'm also convinced that Aizen is, or is related to, Superman. Also I surely can't be the only one who actually feels slightly sorry for Gin? <br />
<br />
Ah well, until next time people!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ It keeps me happy. ^-^ (See the song I'm listening to now? It's stuck on repeat because a certain wonderful someone showed me it and I'm now very much in love with it. Kenichi's voice= <3.)<br />
<br />
Anyway since I'm pretty much done with most requests I'm willing to take some more up. (Getting them scanned has become a small problem, but I'm going to see if I can get round that sometime VERY soon. Sorry!)<br />
<br />
Requests so far:<br />
<br />
Normal Reno for <a href="http://azimowolf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/z/azimowolf.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconazimowolf:" title="azimowolf"/></a> FINISHED<br />
<br />
Axel and Demyx chibi for <a href="http://naruto-fan15.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/a/naruto-fan15.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnaruto-fan15:" title="naruto-fan15"/></a> FINISHED<br />
<br />
Normal + chibi Reno (with bubblegum yay!) for <a href="http://jeni-katsuya-chan.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/e/jeni-katsuya-chan.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconjeni-katsuya-chan:" title="jeni-katsuya-chan"/></a> FINISHED<br />
<br />

<br />
If you have a request just reply here, and just incase say their name and where they're from, whether it be an anime, game whatever. (For example I had some amusement trying to find Laguna pics so giving me their full name is appreciated XD.)<br />
<br />
I also will need to know whether you want them to be drawn normally or chibi style. And if you have a theme or a certain way you want a character to be drawn (example= Reno and his bubblegum) feel free to say so since I like drawing all sorts of interesting things like that XD. <br />
<br />
For those who've already had a pic done: If you'd like another pic you're more then welcome to say so!<br />
<br />
Changing the subject, damn I love this song...  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I've gone back to my narutard phase XD. Although last night I read the manga again but made the mistake of starting from volume four... Why was it a mistake? Because I forgot that Haku and Zabuza die in that volume. T___T Out of the whole cast I think those two were definately some of my very fav characters. Mostly for their funky jutsu and such (and their clothing was pretty cool too), but also their storyline together is so sweet. Maybe I'm just very sad like that, but did anyone else feel the same way about their deaths?<br />
<br />
After a lot of confusion I've been led to believe that Deidara must be a man thanks to vids that <a href="http://naruto-fan15.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/a/naruto-fan15.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnaruto-fan15:" title="naruto-fan15"/></a> showed me. Part of my mind still argues for him being a girl though... (Please don't attack me with any theories you may have @_@)<br />
<br />
Update-<br />
<br />
Normal Reno for <a href="http://azimowolf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/z/azimowolf.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconazimowolf:" title="azimowolf"/></a> FINISHED<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Like the title says now's your time to make some requests of fanart (or just general anime and manga stuff) that you wanna see. I'm very keen on drawing FF and Naruto stuff and I can draw both normal and chibi pics. I'll draw people from other animes if yu like but just tell me who they are and where they're from (since I'm stupid like that and even though I've watched loads of stuff, I know there's a small chance I'll not know certain animes and such)<br />
<br />
I know all this was probably mentioned in the previous journal but I wanted to make this bit stand out more since I'm going to get VERY bored during the holidays and drawing for peeps will keep me both happy and occupied.<br />
<br />
~~~~~~~~ <br />
<br />
XD I got told that I have mako eyes the other day... But that's because my dad's eyes are green and my mum's blue, and I happened to inherit both colours in both eyes XD. Very confuzzling, but hey, I think it's pretty funky.<br />
<br />
Mai-chan.<br />
<br />
Current pics I'm working on:<br />
<br />
Normal Reno (is he ever normal? XD) for <a href="http://azimowolf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/z/azimowolf.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconazimowolf:" title="azimowolf"/></a><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay I'm finally freeeeeee!!<br />
<br />
Today went pretty ok since we just played cards for the first two lessons XD. I spent the day in my form room which was funky since my form tutor likes manga and she is extremely nice to us (unlike many other form tutors). She's getting married during the holidays and she likes my fanart so I drew her a manga fairy in the book we all signed for her but now she wants more piccies so she'll have to wait till next year XD. She's a resistant materials teacher (fancy name for woodwork) and she works mainly with metal and does all sorts of funky jewellery making and she let us make our own stuff today. Since my neck's feeling pretty lonely and in need of a certain necklace I decided to try and make the nobody symbol as a sorta pendant thingy, it kinda looks like a blobby cross but it'll do for now XD. <br />
<br />
I'm now getting back into the drawing mood thanks to japanex thanks to all of the funky cosplays. I'm definately considering some naruto chibis but if there's a person/thing anyone wants me to draw feel free to tell me! (Ok I'm not great but if I'm drawing it for someone else I do try pretty hard) @_@ I've also gotta start some long awaited FF art that my sister's been wanting pretty bad now.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Finally we've stopped doing this pointless new business and enterprise gcse that our school decided to fit within the last four weeks of school! @_@ About time since it was driving us all insane... Tomorrow's my last day at school for year 10 so I think I'll just be drawing all day, like I've done for the past few days XD.<br />
<br />
Although today my friend taught me how to play trumps and go fish which was pretty funny, especially when it was left with my friend the beloved Axel fanatic and me playing go fish by ourselves. (Hopefully you all know how to play, what with if you get four cards of the same number you have a hand and if you get rid of all your cards you win) and my friend was left with only three 8 cards before she could win, and after a long time I had 3 9 cards in my hand. Putting those cards in connection to our fav org XIII members we found it rather ironic.<br />
<br />
Now that schoolwork is out of the way for a long time I'll be busy drawing as well as creating KH2 amvs again. (I'm MaiValkov on youtube by the way, and I'm trying to put a little more variety in my stuff, sorry I only have KH2 clips but by variety I mean trying to avoid having Demyx somewhere in them. XD I can't help it...)<br />
<br />
During the holidays I should be getting a second set of ear piercings which should be funky since I've always liked the look of them. Although the school's being very stubborn with any piercings... I feel very tempted after my birthday to see if two piercings per ear and a sitar necklace manage to become part of the dress code XD. It's very unlikely but I think It'd be fun to try. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm getting quite used to them now. So much that I actually like the rain XD. <br />
<br />
We've had plenty of heavy rain lately, one time I got caught in it in my P.E kit and I still found it fun to run round in even to the point where it wouldn't stop dripping off my nose during my ICT lesson. My teacher wasn't impressed but that's probably because he dislikes water being near the computers...<br />
<br />
Speaking of school I found out in my report that I'm heading for an A in gcse art, that kinda makes me pretty happy for myself but it doesn't really show from the stuff on here... @_@ At least that's what I thinks... But my art teacher always likes seeing my stuff since I can never draw anything simple or normal for my exams, not to mention the fact I'm apparantly the only one who insists on using every colour of the rainbow. He said: <br />
<br />
"To get a good grade you don't have to use every colour of the rainbow."<br />
<br />
(At that point he stared at me) and to be honest, he may be right, but at least it helped! Plus colours are all so wonderful and pretty to look at, especially bright blues... <br />
<br />
At school I've also gotten very popular with people who would've never talked to me before in my year @_@ tis quite strange yet funky, and to think it's all because I'm apparantly good at drawing anime and manga! My chibis have been very popular, especially little Demyx who's gotten himself well known among the girls in my year. My best friend the Axel-fanatic is very displeased with this XD. So now I have many a fan that sit waiting for my new batch of fanart and general pics which makes me feel very happy that people like the things I do. Whilst on the topic of new fanart I have one piece coming along that is going to be quite colourful, yay! (All thanks to me finally realising the perfect victim for my colour obsession ><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />)<br />
<br />
@_@ Sorry I talk FAR too much!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday I went to japanex with a few friends for the day and it was a surprisingly busy day from start to finish. We were all kingdom hearts peeps so if you went you may have seen us around since our Sora was extremely popular. I was the only one who didn't bring any spare clothes and such so I recieved a few stares from the public of kent at the nearby trainstation. Apparantly it's not normal to be walking around with a long leather coat and eyepatch at 8:00am.<br />
<br />
Four of us were heading up together to london including myself and we were all set for the 8:00 train apart from the fact that one person hadn't turned up. Therefore our sora and riku decided to run off for a short while and leave me with all the stuff. That left me with the role of carrying two large keyblades and several bags onto a train by myself, which I found quite funny anyway XD. <br />
<br />
I got scared looks for appearing to be some extreme goth of some sort whilst our sora was given a look of terror as she carried her keyblade off the train at london victoria. We weren't stared at in london which is nice, even when I had my full Xiggy look. That's probably one reason as to why I like london so much.<br />
<br />
Japanex itself was GREAT. I met a few new peeps whilst there as well as some old ones which was fun ^-^. And after my shock of finding no choco banana pocky at the london may expo I was almost too happy to find it yesterday, as well as grape and chocolate cake flavoured pocky *drool*. I mainly bought pocky yesterday, some tsubasa posters, and one manga. I surprised myself by only buying one manga, but it is a very good one. If yu did go to japanex you would have seen many kh1 boxsets of manga in the tokyopop section which was pretty funky, if it wasn't for the fact I already have that. <br />
<br />
BUT, at one of the other manga stores they had volume one of the kh2 manga! That kept me very happy for the rest of the day but there's no Demyx in sight so I'll have to wait till volume two comes out. T_T Hopefully he'll be in that manga, and if the english department in my school decide to take up their rules of having some form of reading book with you each lesson I'd quite happily take some kh2 manga in and drool over Demyx for a large part of the lesson. XD Oh well typical me eh? <br />
<br />
On a side note my summer holidays are almost here, and when I come back to school for year 11 it'll be sepetember, which means I'm VERY close to getting my sitar necklace!<br />
<br />
Bleh that was a long entry. Anyway schoolwork has kept me a little behind on submitting stuff but I have a few bits I can put up today to make up for it!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I appreciate the feedback from the previous journal entry as animals seems to be a likely choice. And chibis too. I was hoping to draw something non chibi of the org for the moment but I won't ignore your ideas. The Axel and Roxas idea sounded pretty cool though.<br />
<br />
Bleh... I've just gone insane over the debate for what element Xemnas has, and now that Roxas has been brought into it I have gone slightly insane @__@. Pwease no more... I'll just let you guys believe it to be what you like, that way we're all happy. I just didn't expect there to be so much fuss about it. ^^'<br />
<br />
Anyways thankies very much for your ideas and I'll see what I can do!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Like the title says, I have a new idea.<br />
<br />
I'm now quite tempted to draw all the org normally, think it'd be good? If so should I make some sort of theme to them? Since you've all been so great I think I'll let you decide.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Finally after letting them sit in my laptop for so long I decided to put my Organization XIII chibis up. I've done 5 so far but I need the next one scanned (haha, you shall not know which one it is until its up)I'm feeling a little inspired to carry on with the rest now.<br />
<br />
bye bye!<br />
