                <description><![CDATA[ PEOPLE. WHAT IS THIS?!<br />WHY IS THERE SO MUCH BLATANT ART THEFT ON THE FRONT PAGE?! WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I LOG IN I SEE SCREENSHOTS FROM ANIME WITH TEXT?! THAT IS NOT ART. NO. NONONONO. THAT DOES NOT BELONG IN YOUR GALLERY. OROCHIMARU BITCHING ABOUT BEING MICHAEL JACKSON IS FUNNY, BUT DRAW IT YOURSELF!<br />BASES. WHAT ARE BASES AND WHY DOES A PIXEL-TRACED IMAGE WITHOUT HAIR (WITH AN EFFING <i>LINK</i> TO THE ORIGINAL PICTURE THAT WAS NOT DRAWN BY THE DEVIANT IN QUESTION, NO PERMISSION TO USE) GET 500 FAVES AND TONS OF COPIERS?! ON TOP OF WHICH, "YOU CAN ONLY USE IT IF YOU FAVE" BUT YOU STOLE THE PICTURE IN THE FIRST PLACE.<br />This is stupid.<br /><br />Just. Plain. Stupid.<br /><br />It is taking every ounce of control I have to not type expletive after expletive in my frustration with these idiots.<br /><br />I'm not going on a crusade to find these people. If I see it, though, I will rant. I will comment. I will go so far as to try and get the pictures removed if the artist defends them, and for good reason. This is not Photobucket, nor Flickr, nor MySpace, nor Sparta. This is dA.<br /><br />If you can't abide the ToS, GTFO.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />That said, I want a new Daft Punk CD for X-mas, since an old friend and I are no longer talking and she owes me one from several years ago, as well as a copy of Demon Diary Vol. 1 and a bullwhip. Don't ask.<br /><br />Library manga contest is over and the winner was only 8! Good job, kiddo! He's all kinds of excited, and I can't wait to start working on it, since it's a pen-and-paper project. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Something I don't need a tablet for...<br />Got a working sewing machine (VERY OLD), miss the hell outta Bibs and Sand, though she doesn't need me missin' her since she KICKS ALL KINDS OF ASS, single again (almost sad about it, too) and hopefully moving away from the drunken psychopath in the near future.<br />Life is one big convoluted mess of cherries. Some are rotten and stuck to the bowl so they won't go away without tons of scraping, and some are effing delish.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Now I have solid proof that nobody likes my art enough to pay for it! XD<br />Fff, anyway....<br /><br />Tips for shopping at GameStop this holiday season;<br /><br />1. Don't. Wait until late January.<br />2. If you must go to GameStop, wear riot gear. Or at least kneepads and a helmet.<br />3. Bring pepper spray. Don't use it, just threaten ornery people with it. Like that old hag who wants a May-REE-oh game for XBOX360, taking up space and time at the counter with the manager or whoever could be selling you the crap you want.<br /><br />*joking, all joking. Actually, here's what you need to do.<br /><br />1. If you have coupons, BRING THEM. Seriously. Edge cards, too. It's a pain to look things like that up, and the cashiers will be hard-pressed for time and tired as it is. Take me, for example. Tomorrow I'm on from 5:30 in the morning 'till 2pm, maybe longer if they need me. We open at 6 for Black Friday. ;-;<br /><br />2. Know what you're getting. Do research beforehand, because it's a pain to wait in line for X amount of minutes to ask a question, then go looking or need to ask another question.<br /><br />3. Be patient. Please.<br /><br />4. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD OR ALLAH OR THE NINJA TURTLES OR WHOEVER, THERE IS NO MARIO GAME ON ANY NON-NINTENDO SYSTEM. PLEASE INFORM YOUR GRANDPARENTS.<br /><br />5. If someone in front of you is being an ass, say something. It's miserable enough working in retail without some crazy cussing up a storm about how we don't take original XBOX games or systems anymore(we stopped in February because Microsoft stopped servicing XBOXes), and how they want cash for their games anyway.<br /><br />6. If something's coming out and you want it, RESERVE IT. This goes for all year. Not only does it guarantee you something you want, it's refundable, so if you change your mind, it's not a problem. The other great thing is that a lot of games nowadays come with sweet stuff for pre-ordering. It's usually only $5 minimum, it goes TOWARD PURCHASE (which is at least $5 you don't have to have when you pick it up), you get a phone call the day before it comes out and you get extra stuff.<br />It should sell itself, but people think it's a scam or something, or they're just lazy.<br />The downside to the reserve system is that, if an employee doesn't meet their "reserve quota" (which is important because the amount of games a store gets shipped is pretty much directly dependent on how many reserves it got), they get fired. Not right away, but eventually. So if there's someone you like or who meets your needs at the local GameStop, reserve with them. (We don't even get commission! There is no downside for customers!)<br /><br />7. The Edge card is $15, 10% used games and accessories (that's $5.50 off your average used new-release game, which is more than a third of the card's cost), 10% added to trade-ins on everything but systems (which is usually more than you'd think), and comes with a year's subscription to Game Informer, which is not only a kickass magazine that sells more copies than TV Guide, but is also invaluable for knowing what is and is not crap (I've only personally disagreed with their reviews 2 times over the course of 3 years)...<br />And it's another sale employees get graded on, so....yeah. If you have one already, use it. It's percentage based.<br /><br />8. Have fun. It's a video game store. No matter how hectic, it's primary purpose is to provide you with entertainment resources. <br /><br />9. Keep your language under control. Employees sometimes get complaints because they can't tell customers to STFU.<br /><br />10. Portal. Get it. It's awesome.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm taking donations. Fff.<br />I need a new tablet. Badly. So, if you send me money, no matter how little, I will send you a random sketch back. As long as you send me a stamp. ;-; I can't buy postage because I suck and the post office is a bazillion miles away from my hizzle.<br />Even if it's a penny in a tiny envelope. XD<br />All proceeds go to getting me a new tablet. Preferably a cheap, refurbished Intuos3. Only $400. I'll be working for it, too.<br /><br />Note me if you're interested, and I'll send you my address. Upon receiving the donation, I will use the return address to send you stuff back. Every $5 gives you a bonus sketch, and $10 gives you a bonus painting by my roommate, Hiyo. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <br /><br />It's for a good cause!

Real name? Cassandra<br />002. Nickname(s)? Sabi, Bouncer, Sabbuffet, Jell-o (some others I would be offended if you called me. XD)<br />003. Zodiac sign? Cancer >Â°,,,Â°<<br />004. Male or female? Well, just look at my icon and see for yourself.<br />005. Elementary? I got picked on a lot and was traumatized. I was always a new kid. Even when I was settled in, I had to dumb down everything I said because my vocabulary was too big for a little kid. XD I was also dropped from the gifted students program so one of the teacherÂs kids could get in. ;-; People stole my things a lot (jackets, pencils, books etc.) and beat me up sometimes. Finally, I just accepted nobody liked me aside from two or three people sometimes and chased everyone else around making kiss noises. XD     <br /><br />Â°0o..Â°...(>Â°3)> kiss kiss     Â°0o..Â°...(>o_)> Do not want!<br /><br />006. Middle School? I got beat up really badly by a lot of people. XD All the time. I met lots of people, though. We always met in the school library. This is when I started really getting into anime.<br />007. High School? I was kind of the group leader, so I had a personal army of sorts. It was kind of scary, though, going to breakfast in the morning and having three whole tables dedicated to people who wanted to talk to me. All of whom were also geeks. XD I didnÂt try very hard in my studies and eventually quit high school so I could get my GED, get it over with and get a job. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />Not good, maybe, for someone who wants to be a teacher, but I spent my class time drawing. ItÂs still more important.<br />008. Hair color? Depends on what I feel like. Right now IÂm trying to grow it out natural, though, so dark brown. DARK brown.<br />009. Long or short? I usually keep it short nowadays, but itÂs almost to my shoulders now.<br />010. Loud or Quiet? Depends on my mood and sugar intake.<br />011. Sweats or Jeans? Jeans, hands down.<br />012. Phone or Camera? Phone. I canÂt get in touch with people by camera. XD<br />013. Health freak? In a way. I hate medication and worry constantly if my friends are taking care of themselves, but I neglect my own quite often. XD<br />014. Drink or Smoke? Both are nasty, but drinking in social situations is okay, I suppose. Oh, yeah...Mudslides. (Kahlua, ice cream and chocolate. XD My kind of alcohol.)<br />015. Do you have a crush on someone? Not really, anymore. I feel kind of ÂblehÂ about people. <br />Well, actually, I kind of have this Âidol crushÂ...fff.<br />016. Eat or Drink? I canÂt choose! Agh!<br />017. Piercings? 3 Just the basic ones on my earlobes.<br />018. Tattoos? IÂm getting an Ouroboros at some point. Like the one the homunculi from FMA have. ItÂs kind of a symbolic thing for me. XD<br /><br />HAVE YOU EVER?<br />019. Been in an airplane ? Just once when I was tiny. Very tiny.<br />020. Been in a car accident ? Again, once when I was tiny. I didnÂt even get scratched, but the car was totaled and my father went to the hospital.<br />021. Been in a fist fight ? Once. In elementary school. I got beat up pretty bad but I wouldnÂt stay down. It took four of my friends shoving me against the corner of a chain-link fence to keep me back, and I was in fourth grade....Nine years old, then. XD<br /><br />FIRSTS:<br />022. First piercing? Earlobes.<br />023. First best friend? I think her name was Brittany. The first one I remember was named Samantha. I was 5, she was 9. She kind of molested me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />THERE IS NO QUESTION 24. I AM CONFUSED.<br />025. First award? Star student thing as a child. Generic stuff. First trophy was for the Spelling Bee in middle school, though. I have 2. XD<br />026. First crush? Chris Brannon. I still wonder about him sometimes. XD<br />028. First big vacation? Uh....IÂve never really had one....Metrocon? <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />LASTS:<br />029. Last person you talked to? The library staff. The Halloween decorations the teen goup I volunteer with made it into the newspaper. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />030. Last person you texted? My mom, when my phone was still working.<br />031. Last person you watched a movie with? Uh...Hiyo and some others. <br />032. Last food you ate? Some generic fruity cereal. XD<br />033. Last movie you watched? I saw Zo... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Actually, this is about Banana Fish, so the title is relevant. XD And Gackt, too. (Because I'm tired of my journals being bitchy.)<br /><br />BEST. MANGA. EVER. No, seriously.<br />I'm only on volume 10, so no spoilers...but I can't stop.<br />I knew I'd like it from the moment I read the plot synopsis.<br /><br />Some years ago, I was reading up on Gackt. At the time, his favorite manga was listed as Banana Fish. (He loved it so much, he even wrote a song about it, kinda. Asrun Dream sound familiar?) Just the title got me going. In a "what the hell could that possibly mean" kind of way. Looked it up, wanted it.<br />It took almost 3 years for me to finally get my hands on a copy. A dear friend of mine gave me Volume 1 for some holiday occasion (they all tend to run together in my memory, but I remember I got it, right?) and I was hooked.<br /><br />The library I volunteer at has up to V. 10, so until I can buy them, I'm stuck at a cliffhanger. Still, I love it. It has an intriguing, stripped-down art style I've never seen before, and the story is sort of a....FAKE meets 80's crime dramas, but waaaaay better. <br />Actually, here's a better summary: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://shaenon.livejournal.com/34579.html">[link]</a><br /><br />At any rate, Banana Fish is my all-time favorite manga. Hands down.<br /><br />Read it at your own risk. Addiction to Banana Fish is dangerous.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm leaving my house. <br />Roommate's boyfriend went crazy and beat the hell out of his own nephew. I'm scared.<br /><br />Hiyo and I have an interesting work week. Wake up at 7, leave for work at 9, Hiyo works usually 10-5 and if I don't work I go with her. If I do, I work 5-9:30 so I get dropped off after we leave early and I spend my day hanging out at Wal-Mart and Gamestop from 9:30 am until I work. <br />So we don't get home until 10, usually. <br />ALL. WEEK. Except select thursdays and saturdays. ;-;<br />Yesterday, we went to the library for the anime club meeting. About halfway through I got a text basically saying Doug-sama's car would never run again. ;-; Some dumb bitch didn't know how to drive and he got into an accident so we went after the meeting to catch up with him and Kagome and see if he needed anything.<br /><br />After that we were on our way home, a little after 11 pm. Walking up the driveway are our roommates...well, 2 of them. And the neighbor.<br />Those 2 are mother (henceforth M) and son (Henceforth S). M is our other roommate's (henceforth GF) boyfriend's sister. The boyfriend (henceforth BF) lives with us, too.<br />He's very destructive.<br /><br />Long story short, BF was stealing money out of GF's wallet thing. His nephew (S) saw it and told GF to check her pocketbook. GF told everyone to empty their pockets and, while M and S complied, BF put up a fight until GF grabbed some money out of his pocket. Then BF found out S was the one who told her and ambushed him in the kitchen.<br />Cops were called, M had bleeding fingers (presumably from fighting BF, her own brother, off of her son) and S had swelling on one side of his face so badly he couldn't close his jaw.<br /><br />GF DENIED THE WHOLE THING. She said BF was at his mom's house, M and S are just crazy, BF was never in jail (which he totally was, on attempted murder charges, no less), etc.<br /><br />So...things are bad, and I'm scared, and Hiyo's scared.<br />We're broke. We're maybe gonna be homeless soon. I feel really sick. <br />And I still can't find my tablet pen.<br />M and S are moving back to the New England states, so we can't rely on them. All of my close friends live with their parents, so we can't impose.<br /><br />Still.....There <i>might</i> be a place we can stay for a while...<br />One of the people who works at the library I'm always going to might have an extra room for us, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.<br /><br />I just hope we can afford it.<br />Wish me luck.<br /><br /><br />One last thing. <a href="http://ry-spirit.deviantart.com/art/RRRRAAAAAAAWWWWWWHHHHHHHH-107350563">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ First, I'd like to say I'm sorry I've been gone so long. <br />Hiyo (my roommate, best friend and primary mode of transportation....well, Hiyo's car, at least....the insinuation of riding my best friend is humorous, but I want to be clear) had a tire blow out on her car. Not just go flat--the entire side is gone. Exploded. Poof.<br /><br />So, literally two days after getting my car back from my mom, I had to learn to drive it. <br /><br />Wowzers.<br /><br />I'm doing well, actually. owo<br /><br />Still, this is the first time I've been able to make it to a library in some time. <br />I missed you all sorely. <br /><br /><br />As of yet, I also still have no monitor for my computer. It's getting depressing.<br /><br />One more thing, though, before I go. If you like Animamundi: Dark Alchemist, you should participate in this contest.<br /><a href="http://news.deviantart.com/article/90047/">[link]</a><br />I know that many of you (my beloved watchers and the nice passersby to my journal) can draw very well and appreciate the gothic horror genre. Please support it, and create something lovely~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This book job....I got it, but...<br />The writing is so....um....what's a nice way to say "I can't make sense of it at all"....? I guess you get the idea.<br />I'd have to rewrite the whole thing before I could figure it out.<br />Besides that, he wants me to do storyboarding for a movie idea. o.o;<br /><br />I love the premise (that I'm not going to share with anyone in case he gets ripped off. Not saying my watchers would, but you never know what unscrupulous scoundrels are haunting the tubes)....but....I don't think he understands exactly what he's asking for.<br /><br />I was all for it....and I still am....but I think I'm getting ripped off. Just a bit.<br /><br />We still haven't discussed payment...but he keeps calling about storyboarding for this idea of his and....<br />Like, for a Pixar movie thing...<br />I'm worried...<br />I don't want to say no. I don't want to trample his dream.<br />Still, I have dreams, too.<br /><br />I'm young enough to be selfish and not understand simple happiness, but I'm also wise enough to recognize that in myself. >.>;<br />So...I'm torn. I really don't think this is a good thing to get myself into...<br /><br />Especially since I still don't have a monitor for my computer...<br />;-; What a pickle.<br /><br />On another note, I need to get over myself. I get hung up on never being able to have kids, how I can't have a family life anyway because of my slight phobia of men, how I can't be happy in a relationship because I'm too nervous about being heartbroken so I don't let people close, how I'm damaged goods anyway and nobody cares, how I'm jealous of people who are happy because they don't worry about these things...<br />Seriously, I'm so mad at myself for being depressed over all this for so long. I'm still so childish...but I can accept myself that way now!<br /><br />People see my value! I'm not exactly talented, but I'm not useless! Every day, I do my best to make people smile. The best part is: I can do it now! I make someone smile every day!<br />That's the most important thing, right?! <br />I can't let go of my fears and worries, but I have a weapon of light to fend off the darkness now.<br />I can find my own happiness in the smiles of others, a little at a time.<br /><br />...Oh, wow. That sounded kind of cool. I should put that in a story. XD<br /><br />Well, thank you for taking time out of your day to read this. I love you all, and I promise I'll give you something awesome when I get back.<br /><br />Oh, yeah. I remember I owe <a href="http://artemis-girl.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/r/artemis-girl.png?3" alt=":iconartemis-girl:" title="artemis-girl"/></a> my half of this trade: <a href="http://artemis-girl.deviantart.com/art/Kimimaro-for-sabisaotome-123428822">[link]</a><br />What else was there? I had a to-do list but I lost it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />Is there something I owe you and I forgot? Please tell me. I feel really bad about having ADD when it comes to these things.<br /><br />I love you all...owo;<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Getting online at one of the display computers at Office Depot. This is pretty sad.<br />It runs quick for a mini-notebook, but I'm not fond of the keyboard.<br />My birthday was friday. It wasn't particularly notable, except that I'm 21 now.<br />HOO-AH! CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT ELIGIBILITY!<br />What? Thought I'd care about alcohol?<br />So, on the way here, I saw one of those light-up traffic/construction boards. You know, the kind that change their letter displays and such?<br />Well, this one said "LOCK UP YOUR CHILDREN"<br />"PEDOBEAR SIGHTING AHEAD"<br /><br />MADE MY DAY. Whoever hacked it is my future husband/waifu. XD<br /><br />I don't care if it's some creepy 40 year old /b/tard. SO WIN.<br /><br />At any rate, I'm still alive. No internet and the closest library is ages away. I can't even walk there.<br />BECAUSE I LIVE IN LAKELAND NOW. o.o;;<br /><br />It's a pretty place, though. There's a stream and lots of trees and geckos and such. owo Lots of cat, though. I'm allergic...<br /><br />But I found out Ashes is a Norwegian forest cat. At least half. Which explains why he's so big.<br /><br />He doesn's have front claws, but the other cats are half his size so they don't mess with him. Bwahaha!<br /><br />I'm glad he's so well-tempered.<br /><br />Just updating for you guys. I don't have my computer back, so the arting must wait...<br /><br />As soon as I can, though! I promise! :3<br /><br />Love~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

She knows the place better, though, and she's more responsible than I am. XD<br /><br />Faaaaaiiiiil.<br /><br />HOMG I found my floppies while we were moving! I need a computer I can put MS-DOS on now. X-COM: Terror From the Deep, D&D: Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds and Secret of the Silver Blades, TIE Fighter, X-Wing and the B-Wing expansion...I HAVE ALL OF THEM! YAY! (These are all I played growing up, except for the NES and Sega systems until I got a PS1 right after PS2s came out)<br />Not to mention Heretic (which is WAY better than DOOM) and Wolfenstien 3D (which is actually 2D, so there)...<br /><br />I wish I had a joystick to play TIE Fighter with, though.<br />I'll need one after I get DOS.<br />Speaking of...<br />C:/dos<br />C:/DOS/run<br />RUN/DOS/run_ *blink blink*<br /><br />I used to do that all the time when I was little. Like, before I was in kindergarten. XD<br />DOS prompt, I mean. Not nerd jokes.<br /><br />Bah. I'm being silly because I'm tired and hungry.<br /><br />Anyway, I'll get to things as soon as possible. Stay healthy and behave yourselves, watchers~<br /><br />Love you!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

And it's someone's birthday and I get no cake. Poo.<br /><br />Hiyo will be home soon, though. We're going to share the last bits of food in the house; honey graham crackers~<br />Maybe jell-o if there's any left.<br /><br />I WAS WORKING ON A DRAWING YESTERDAY AND I WAS ALMOST DONE WITH THE EPIC BACKGROUND AND THEN "Photoshpe Elements 3.0 has performed an illegal operation and must be shut down" BASICALLY MEANING THAT ALL THAT WORK POOFED BECAUSE I FORGOT TO SAVE.<br /><br />But I'm proud.

                <description><![CDATA[ Killing my lactose intolerance right now. I can't help it; I love raisin bran.<br /><br />I'm not in the best of moods this morning (afternoon, actually; it's about 2pm), but I'll deal with it.<br /><br />Feeling kind of numb today...<br /><br />AND MY DAMN COMPUTER!!! GEH!!<br /><br />So, for those who don't know, the computer I get on dA with belongs to <a href="http://zetsumei-shinigami.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/z/e/zetsumei-shinigami.jpg" alt=":iconzetsumei-shinigami:" title="zetsumei-shinigami"/></a>, and the one I use for arting is one I built myself that sits on the other side of the room.<br /><br />It's never been hooked up to the internet and it has no viruses (I scan everything before I put it on my baby)...<br /><br />But lately it's been booting me out of applications and closing explorer (I run Windows XP Home, and that's the program that lets all the little windows that show your files and things come up, for those that don't know what in Hell I'm saying) randomly. I thought it was a rendering problem with some new pictures I'd downloaded, but...<br /><br />Nope, it does it all over the place.<br /><br />Makes me sad.<br /><br /><br />...*sigh* I don't know. I'm hoping it's not a hard drive issue.<br /><br />Hiyo woke up sickly, too. She might have sinusitis. Either way, there was snot and blood, so I'm really worried. She went to work anyway, though...<br /><br />I hope she's okay...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I was all "WTF?" and she was all "Told youuuuuuu~"<br /><br />Well, guess what?<br />IT'S JUNE! (19-21 on the website, for some reason now.)<br /><br />Dammit and I have to scramble to find the stupid HM dog plush and get prizes for the games because I thought I had more time! <br /><br />And the sign isn't done, but that's cake, really. Some letters and a wooden backing...<br /><br />ACK---!! Not the point! Umm....if anyone has the dog....Can I borrow it? o.o;<br /><br />Oog...<br /><br />And...does anyone know where I can get toy hoes, watering cans, etc.? For super-cheap, since I need to pay rent but aren't completely crappy-looking?<br /><br />Or can someone donate...?<br /><br />Besides Wal-Mart, obviously. o.o;;<br /><br />The costumes are mostly done, art is in progress, heart pins are probably not gonna happen but we're still trying...<br /><br />AND I HAVE TO MISS THE FIRST CHESS MATCH!!!<br /><br />I've been going since the first one ever and the HM panel overlaps it by an hour (although I guess it's okay since I can go to Sunday's match and it's always better than Saturday's)...<br /><br />Well, at least getting in's no problem. I'm borrowing the fee from Hiyo and getting it back Sunday, since I've got the volunteer hours. <3<br /><br />Can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait!<br />(To bomb Dodongo?)<br /><br />Geh...<br /><br />Well, I'm up unusually early and panicking, so excuse my random insanity.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I'm crazy.<br /><br /><br />OH YEAH!! And it's June now, so I can submit my substitute teaching application~ Mwahahaha!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For the record, Sheep is not here anymore. Also, he claims that telling Mom I was sending him to our uncle's was indeed his revenge.<br />When I said "Revenge for what?" and proceeded to list all the things I could have done wrong, like give him a place to stay with virtually no restrictions without paying rent, not enforce the dishes or trash rules, etc. he stormed out.<br /><br />Well, at least I made him laugh first.<br />I tried to stress that it wasn't that I was blaming him for things; it was that I didn't want him to be blamed for things. Inviting people over to someone else's house is asking for trouble. I told him if things are going to go missing, I want him to have an alibi. If nobody is here but him and things go wrong, who's to blame? The exact words were "I'd rather see you punished for things you actually did do than things you didn't." He thought that was funny.<br /><br />Mom's not talking to me still. She's decided that I'm the bad guy in this, for all the villification I've suffered. Not that it matters much.<br />I must be very convenient. Take what you will, then hate me for giving it to you.<br />I've decided that I'll pay her back for everything. No, not revenge, as that made it sound. Every smile, every penny. I'll give it all back with interest, so one day I will owe her nothing and I can walk away freely. I bear neither grudge nor malice; if anything, a lingering hole somewhere in my soul, at the bottom of which lies a doubting child is all the bad she has left with me. I don't trust easily, now even less so. If I am damned for each choice I make, though, I think that I shall make them more freely after this event.<br /><br />Also, as per her wishes, I shall no longer write henceforth about the affairs of my family. Not necessarily because she asked, although that prompted it, but mostly because I think I want nothing else to bind me to them. I've grown sick of the bickering and playing pawn to the King and Queen. I'm crossing the board, and I'm going to be any piece I want. <br /><br />I've come to despise the rest of my family quite thoroughly, in my own way. Most of them, at any rate. The majority are vicious, cutthroats and liars, easy puppets and puppeteers, addicts to any variety of illing substances, or manipulative backstabbers. The rest are children too tiny to understand real malice, or just blameless for now. Following that, there are the exceptions of the dead. Really. There are even those that don't realize how hurtful they actually are. I forgive them, but I will forget nothing.<br /><br />Just Mom and my other, younger brother now, assuming I can ever contact them again.<br /><br /><br /><br />But I have other business. JACON!<br /><br />It was probably a blast. I spent the first day and a half in the hotel room trying to get my ailing sewing machine and new skill with it to work on my costume...and Hiyo's....and do everyone else's hair...<br /><br />But after I got out, it was amazing! Except for all the idiots. And the Hentai Cafe lockup...and the fool who pepper sprayed the Rave that sent the con into lockdown until 9am the following morning...and the fact that I had to leave early because my boss scheduled a crew meeting on the last day of the last Jacon (which I'd requested off in excess of 3 months ago for that very reason)...And that, when I got home, I found Kabuto had put my clothes in with a leaky bottle of fabric glue, simultaneously ruining my new pajama pants, a work shirt, my favorite bra and a $150 bag that belongs to Hiyo. o.o;<br />But it was actually, for all the flaws, a nice getaway. I needed to run around for a while without worrying about things.<br />I got it, and I'm much happier for it. That was my little vacation, and Metrocon's going to be even better!<br /><br />Poor Hiyo puked on her jacket in the car, though. She was really sick. Dunno why, but she's still not feeling well. <br /><br />And I owe Evin a knock to the noggin.<br /><br /><br />Ah, well.<br /><br />Now, if only I could get over these damn allergies...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Last night, Hiyo and I were up until 6:30 working on our costumes. Woke up at 9 something. Still working on costumes. I've barely eaten these past few days; coffee and hot dogs if anything. Oatmeal this morning because I felt sick.<br />Mom texts (which can get annoying because it's not free, but I don't mind enough to make her stop), we exchange idle conversation blah blah and I continue working. Realize I put the pockets on wrong. Rip them off and try again.<br />My friend (I'm calling her Kiki for the sake of internets) comes over. I'm still working feverishly on my pants, waiting for my shirt fabric to dry from the paint, worrying about doing Hiyo's hair, my hair, Hiyo's chaps, Itachi's belts and travel arrangements.<br />My brother left some time ago. I barely noticed.<br /><br />The plan was that, since we'd be gone and he likes to bring people to the house when nobody's home or about (not cool by any means, especially since some things have turned up missing...considering the state of the house nobody's pointing fingers, but I don't want him to be blamed), we would take him to stay with my uncle for 3 days.<br /><br />I've thought about just dumping him off a few times for the sake of my sanity, but my uncle's got an alcohol problem and I know for a fact he's been into drugs before, so, while I love him as a member of my family, I don't want to leave my brother with him for any extent of time unless necessary.<br /><br />Mom's already said she can't take him.<br />This is my only option.<br /><br />Kiki's wig needs retouching, so I do that, too. Itachi comes back in the house and says "Hey, someone left crack in our mailbox and I threw it in the trash."<br /><br />....<br /><br />I think my head exploded. "Why did you touch it?!"<br />"I thought it was a diaper or something."<br />"Well, call the police!"<br />"I don't like pigs."<br /><br />After a bit of argument, Kiki went to get stuff at her house and Itachi and I waited on the police.<br /><br />The cop came, we explained everything and he ran a test on the baggie.<br /><br />Not crack. Probably corn starch. I was really relieved.<br />Grumbling about stupid pranks, the cop was really friendly otherwise, but my nerves were seriously frayed.<br /><br />He buried it in one of our trash bags and left, so we went back into the house.<br /><br />I had to take a bit to sort myself out. Kiki came back with some textile medium for Itachi's pants, and we got her to work on that while Kiki packed my things. Apparently, she was helping with my costume.<br /><br />Kiki takes me to her house and makes me eat. It takes me a bit to put away my work beforehand. I really just want this over with.<br /><br />Running the plans in my head, Mom's got the other jackets. I'm doing Hiyo's vest, still, but the pattern is at my mom's house. Okay.<br />What else?<br /><br />Text message from mom about my little brother going to Fred's.<br /><br />I say that was the plan.<br /><br />"So you're just gonna dump the faggot off and feel good about yourself, huh?"<br /><br />I know what she's talking about.<br /><br />2 of my /b/tard roommates (NEVER GO TO 4CHAN. IT IS A BAD BAD PLACE.) had a thing from a thread. <br />If someone is reluctant to do something, you say "do it, faggot!"<br /><br />No malice. Just a very un-PC joke.<br /><br />I'll admit I've gotten pretty foul mouthed hanging around my roommates, but it's not like I do it all the time.<br /><br />I can get the gist of what's happened, but I don't know exactly what the hell is going on.<br /><br />She says she's sad and doesn't want to talk to me.<br /><br />Now I'm hurt. Now I'm angry. I've been mulling over some things for a few days already.<br />"Your brother said something about getting revenge on you for making him your scapegoat."<br />"Yeah, he says weird things like that."<br />But it bothered me. I yelled at him for bringing people over when we weren't home because stuff goes missing (mostly food he claims he didn't eat) and he's technically responsible for it if he lets them in.<br />Again, not cool.<br /><br />He lives with us, doesn't pay rent, doesn't do anything but sleep (or other equally useless things) complains about stupid things and won't leave people who are obviously busy alone.<br /><br />"So, this one time on Red Stone..."<br />"Not now."<br />"But it's cool! Anyway, me and so-and-so..."<br />"I'm playing WoW." (This being an Itachi event)<br />"We beat the Koreans at-"<br />"Shut up, please. I am busy."<br />"They've had the game for 3 years longer and-"<br />"Dammit! You made me pull aggro and die. Shut the hell up!"<br /><br />Not only that, but we have to tell him no less than twelve times to get him to shower once every couple of days.<br /><br />"Take a shower." (Itachi and him again)<br />"In a minute."<br />"The living room smells like feet and sweat. Shower."<br />"Hang on." At this point he's either playing video games or pretending to sleep.<br />"Shower. Now."<br />"I can't.... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I just got back online. Gearing up for Jacon I've been insanely busy and stressed, <a href="http://burnsheep.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/u/burnsheep.gif?2" alt=":iconburnsheep:" title="burnsheep"/></a> is still here to add more, but I somehow worked myself into a happy niche.<br /><br />And then I logged on.<br /><br />So....my stepmom is here on dA. Ohoho.<br /><br />I think it's cute.<br /><br />dA is not the place to fight personal battles like this, so dragging our family into the open with this childish misanthropy is doing her no good in my book.<br /><br />Not only that, but she's sucking up bandwidth by making a blank account for the sole purpose of trolling me and spreading the good word of...well, whatever the hell she represents. Probably some puppeteer god. She certainly believes herself good at it.<br /><br />It's kind of confusing, though. She makes a lot of assumptions about me, but the biggest one seems to be that I care about what she has to say.<br />It's true, in a sense. I value other peoples' input. On that end, bitching is not input.<br /><br />Art or GTFO is the rule of dA. She's not here to be a part of the community; she's just here to try and take me down. And she's almost fifty. I mean, jeez, how mature.<br /><br />Oh, wait....This journal...I wrote about how idiotic I think she's being; that means she wins, right?<br /><br />Pffft.<br /><br />On another note; I BLEACHED MY HAIR! I'm officially blonde. Heeheehee~<br />I can't wait for Jacon. It's gonna be great~<br />Oh, wait....I NEED TO FINISH MY COSTUME! EEEK! <br /><br />See you all later~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was a little surprised at all the people who thought I'm quitting Pocket No More!<br />Hell no. That's my baby. I just have competition now.<br />I redid a few of the old pages a little bit, but I'm leaving the crappy art intact. Know why?<br />I've decided, eventually, I'm releasing a fully redone printed version of PNM! with exclusives later on. Probably for free, too. <3<br />It's gonna be a bonus with a bigger project I have in mind~<br />Mwahaha!<br />Anyone who knows me personally knows that I suck at drawing on my tablet these days. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Everything decent I do is with good ol' pencil and paper.<br /><br />HOO-AH!<br />I've been playing Platinum recently, too. That's got my attention now. XD<br />I know I've been saying it for a while, but new PNM! is coming. I just want to finish the chapter before I post it. I feel bad about stopping at such an awkward point for so long.<br /><br />On another note, my brother (a year younger than me), whom some of you may know as <a href="http://burnsheep.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/u/burnsheep.gif?2" alt=":iconburnsheep:" title="burnsheep"/></a>, is now staying with me for a month.<br />I got a phone call last night from my mom. "Your dad's bringing your brother down and dropping him off, and he can't stay here."<br />Well, gee, thanks for the warning. <br />I was at work, too.<br />I'm more mad at my dad. My other brother (15 years old) might have cancer, so he needs some moles removed. Dad, in his wisdom, decided to dick around and NOT GIVE MY MOM THE CORRECT INSURANCE INFORMATION. And stop paying child support. And leave my brother with me, knowing I have crap for income as it is, forcing me to put my life on hold and not so much as offering me $5 to get him A FUCKING TOOTHBRUSH.<br />Which kills me because he brought 6 or 7 trash bags of clothes and 8 or 9 boxes of junk we have no room for and FORGOT A TOOTHBRUSH.<br />Seriously, wtf?<br />At least he's only here until the first of next month. Then he gets shipped off to the navy. At least the insurance info should be taken care of, now. That's something. Still need child support for my mom, though. Since she's gonna have to declare bankruptcy because she raised 3 kids on a Wal-Mart salary.<br /><br />Oh, yeah. On a larger-scale level, I've been volunteering for the New River Library for a long time, now. Guess what! The state decided to CUT ALL FUNDING.<br />THAT'S $500,000 Pasco libraries aren't getting. That's jobs or their ENTIRE NON-FICTION PURCHASES FOR A YEAR.<br />(Also, in a bit of irony, they voted in a Youth Reading measure. Which I know for a fact won't help as many people as HAVING A LIBRARY OPEN does.)<br />You know what? This probably means people I've come to know won't be employed anymore. People who actually make a difference in our community every day, who fight for literacy and help those who would otherwise have no means to help themselves...those heroes of the everyday, betrayed by the system they fought to uphold in an act of supreme injustice, will lose everything they rightly deserve.<br />I've decided if I win the lottery I'm donating at least half of it to the Pasco library system. <br />Where the hell are our priorities at?! Oh yeah. Sports and lobbyists.<br />Woohoo.<br /><br />Dammit, this journal was supposed to be about Pokemon! <br /><br />Ah, well.<br /><br />At least I feel a little better.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Help, please?)<br /><br /><br /><br />I've been really inactive lately, trying to get my life back on track.<br />I'm moving soon, there are 2 big cons coming up, art contests and...<br />I'm trying to be a teacher.<br /><br />Growing up, I was never satisfied with school. I didn't learn much except social relations. I didn't have support, either.<br /><br />Now, though, I want to give what I didn't have. I want to be there. I want to teach.<br /><br />Language is a passion for me, even more so than art. To have the opportunity to pass that along would mean so much...<br /><br />So I'm working on my substitute teaching certification. <br /><br />I've wanted to be an English teacher in Japan for a long time, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized how much they were needed here.<br /><br />I'll be keeping my job at GameStop, of course, but also trying to get my life on track.<br /><br />I'm tired of not being where I want to be.

                <description><![CDATA[ Firstly, I'm running short on time. I've been working like crazy lately and the rest of my free time has been consumed by my addiction to The Sims 2 and the few expansions I own. (That and the pr0n mods. Sims yaoi. Because I apparently can't think of anything more fun.)<br />I've made most of my friends, and a few characters I'm a fan of.<br />I'm looking for a certain hair, though, and making a special makeup set for someone else's OCs. (Since I already made a Kamon, I need the others, right? Ryohei's hair is just so unique...)<br />(Aforementioned characters are copyright Nineinjections and you should check her out! She's awesome and really sweet to her fans! <a href="http://nineinjections.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/i/nineinjections.png?1" alt=":iconnineinjections:" title="nineinjections"/></a> Yes!)<br /><br />Also, because I am a horrible design/customization nut, it's an attention-sucker for me. ;-; I'm broken. <br /><br />Also, I've been preoccupied by a sudden influx of random people in my life, moving, etc.<br /><br />And I'm one of those people that gets upset when they miss a day of something and then don't want to come back without making up the lost time. (i.e; can't miss a day of Animal Crossing or I stop playing entirely)<br /><br />AAAAANYWAY, I'm also bitter about not being able to answer comments just yet.<br />Again, short on time. I work kind of early tomorrow and it's an 8.5 hour shift without breaks.<br /><br />Need sleep!<br /><br /><br />The next part of this is Naruto related stuff, so you can skip if you want. And the last part is a strange rant story about how I am suddenly a whore.<br /><br />**SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER**<br />**SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER**<br />**SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER**<br />**SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER**<br />**SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER****SPOILER**<br /><br /><br />Okay! So I AM GLAD KISHIMOTO IS DEALING OUT THE DEATHS ALL WILLY-NILLY.<br />It's about time there was some genuine ninja action. Sometimes death is pointless. Sometimes it's not, but the majority is. So if your favorite character died or is dying and you're upset, sorry, but that's how it is. Like when Shizune got soul-sucked and everyone was all "WTF?!" Well, yeah. And it's great that the fans are getting riled up. Masashi Kishimoto-sensei is provoking emotional reactions. He's doing his job right. I'm pleased about the whole thing. No, I'm not happy that characters I've loved are getting picked off, but I'm happy that we're finally seeing the harsh world and way of life ninja are expected to live in. I'm happy that people are saying they'll swear off Naruto because so-and-so is dead or dying and they're mad about it. You're supposed to get upset when people you care about die. <br />I can't coherently get my point across now, because I'm very tired, but I hope you understand.<br /><br />Also; YONDAIME!!!!<br /><br />**END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER**<br />**END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER**<br />**END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER**<br />**END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER**<br />**END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER****END SPOILER**<br /><br /><br /><br />Cue RANT.<br /><br /><br />Also, last night Hiyo wanted to go for a walk. So we left around 3 am. Considering that nobody is usually up at that hour, we weren't worried about safety or anything. Sure enough, we had nothing to worry about. The streets were dead, it was nice and quiet, there was a pleasant breeze, etc.<br />Except...On our way back, some crazy van drove by, spun around, wheeled toward us and screeched to a halt practically next to us. Then this guy comes out waving a flashlight and interrogating us. Apparently, he was a cop looking for some girl and thought Hiyo was her (despite his quarry being a Hispanic bleach blond where Hiyo is very pale with long, curly red hair) and we were "suspicious". <br />He asked our names and then asked if we had ID (makes perfect sense because we'd totally need our driver's licenses for a WALK), talking really quickly and freaking me out.<br />He then proceeded to announce that Hiyo was high (yes, as in on pot or some substance. I think the closest she gets is herbal tea) because her pupils stayed dilated when he shined light in her face and she talks funny. Hiyo has a detached retina and the light wasn't on her for more than half a second, and she had laryngitis that permanently screwed up her voice.  When we told him that he said to "feed the bullshit to someone who cares" and he "hadn't heard that one before", adding his years of "police experi... ]]></description>

I have too many bills. *sigh*<br /><br />Still trying to get back to all the comments. I'm pretty busy despite being sickly today. Go figure.<br /><br />Everyone, stay healthy!<br />And don't drink milkshakes if you're lactose intolerant.<br />Especially after consuming California rolls (sushi) and apple juice.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My computer's power supply blew out. <br />It wouldn't turn on, and Hiyo said there'd been an electrical pop in the last few days and that it might've been my computer. So I dismantled it. Sure enough, the power supply was dead.<br /><br />Fried.<br /><br />Roaches.<br /><br />So, for those who don't know, my landlord's house is made of cockroaches. The walls and floor are alive.<br />I had to babysit his dogs a while back. Guh. *shudders*<br /><br />What does that have to do with my house, you ask?<br />Well, he lives right next door.<br /><br />And all of my neighbors have the same problem. Because of his house.<br /><br />Well, anyway, so it's getting bad here, too. I've been able to deal with it so far because they don't show themselves much.<br />Unless you move something over.<br /><br />I keep saying "only a few months to go, only a few months to go" because my roomies and I are moving. I have a quarantine plan so the buggies don't follow, too.<br /><br />But I didn't think it would be like this.<br /><br />I opened up my power supply. A couple of the bastards tried to escape. Luckily, Hiyo's got a +4 in melee skills with a pair of pliers.<br />3 dead.<br /><br />2 more in the fan. Take them out, no problem. <br /><br />Lift the circuit board.<br /><br />There's the mother lode. At least 11 fried roach carcasses. IN MY POWER SUPPLY.<br /><br />I don't think I've ever cursed so much in my entire life.<br /><br />Luckily, Hiyo happened to have an unused power supply in her computer (unused because her ex-roommates jacked everything inside it besides the power supply and motherboard), so it's in mine now.<br /><br />It works fine...<br />I just miss mine.<br /><br />Well, I'm off to anime club. I'll have an update for you guys in a couple of days.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm sorry to have worried all of you like that.<br />I kind of wish Dante hadn't said anything, but I thought it was sweet that I got so many comments and so much support. I feel terrible about worrying all of you, but my head's a little clearer now.<br /><br />Gearing up for some big things soon~<br /><br />2 conventions, a new doujin project (not that I've forgotten about Pocket No More!, I just need some tools...)<br /><br />AND some money~<br /><br />Apparently, I'm really good at cutting and styling hair and wigs!<br />I earned 5 dollars fixing my friend's Sasuke wig for Megacon! Woooo!<br /><br />So....I have $5! *w* I haven't had this much money to myself in ages! XD (Shows how pathetic I am.)<br /><br />Um...<br />I'm also doing $5 commissions now.<br /><br />Seriously. <br /><br />I'll draw ANYTHING for $5. And I'll draw a bonus chibi if I'm allowed to put it on dA.<br /><br />But I'll e-mail you the original work. Just for you.<br /><br />Or, for $5 plus postage (that means you can send a manila envelope stamp with the money, just to send it to you), I can do a one-of-a-kind hand-drawn and inked black and white piece. Whatever you want. (By the way, my pencil work beats the crap out of my digital work. I just don't have a scanner. XD)<br /><br />Anything for $5.<br />Since I've decided I love $5 bills.<br /><br />XD<br /><br />ALSO....I wanted everyone's opinion on something. I've been thinking about taking medication to help my ADD/mania issues...but I've heard that it stifles creativity. On the one hand, if I write down everything I think of now and draw it when I'm more focused, that's one thing, but I'm afraid of not being able to create beyond that.<br /><br />What do you guys think?<br /><br />(And why is there no "sick" emote in the mood bar? Seriously. How lame.)<br /><br />And, for whatever reason, I say "derp" a lot now, especially when I'm thinking or saying things that should be obvious. XD Derp derp derp.<br />So I'm not saying anything bad if I type it. Okay?<br /><br /><br />***ALSO!!***<br /><br />Sorry for the spam...I just wanted to show some random things to my faithful. I hope at least one makes you giggle.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/carefreeelf/1235545735951.jpg#">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/carefreeelf/1235544319426.jpg#">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/carefreeelf/1235545207771.jpg#">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/carefreeelf/1223240864583.jpg#">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/carefreeelf/Ash_is_a_loser.jpg#">[link]</a><br /><br />This one because I found some dA artists had articles on ED, and I looked for me.<br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f230/carefreeelf/lolwat.jpg#">[link]</a><br /><br />This one may or may not be offensive.

                <description><![CDATA[ (copypasta'd from ED, because damn it if people don't need a satirical slap in the face sometimes)<br /><br />1. DeviantArt is serious business<br />2. One day, IÂll be a great manga artist<br />3. The longer the journal entries, the better my art becomes<br />4. The more flashing friend icons, the better my art becomes<br />5. Tracing and recoloring is the same as using a reference<br />6. Blurry MySpace pictures of myself, taken without even using the timer mode are art<br />7. Photoshop filters are the same as photography skill<br />8. Lens flare makes EVERYTHING better!<br />9. Critics are only critical because they are jealous of my stick figures<br />10. All male game or anime characters are in love with each other<br />11. All characters split into two versions when entering DeviantArt: normal and furry, and the furry version is always better than the regular one Â cat ears are obligatory<br />12. All characters have child-like alter-egos, which I prefer, but not because IÂm a paedophile<br />13. People donÂt know thereÂs a Full View function, so I must inform them of it, and demand that they use it every time I upload something, no matter how crappy, by commenting ÂFULL VIEW PLEASE!!!!!!Â<br />14. The whole world is only waiting for one thing: seeing me naked<br />15. ItÂs art if I say it is!<br />16. 2,000 pageviews means I have to make a kawaiiiii picture thanking people for looking at my other kawaiiii pictures, preferably with as many hearts as possible<br />17. Being on DeviantArt means I am special<br />18. ItÂs not paedophilia when I draw it<br />19. Comments any less positive than ÂOMG awesome!Â must be considered flames, and even the slightest bit of criticism is worth starting a fight and getting banned over<br />20. The DeviantArt comments system is a great chatbox, especially if itÂs someone elseÂs page!<br />21. There is nothing wrong with inflation art<br />22. If I fave one of your pictures, you have to fave one of mine, no matter how terrible I am, otherwise youÂre ungrateful<br />23. Everyone is interested in my private life, so I must spam my journal full of uninteresting junk (see #1)<br />24. If people troll my account due to a mention in ED, I must throw a tantrum, threaten to hex them, say theyÂve fallen into my trap, bawl to the moderators and/or threaten legal action and claim lawyers are already on the case<br />25. I have more pageviews, therefore my art is better than yours<br />26. Making alternate accounts praising my main account is a brilliant tactic<br />27. Copy-pasting an ÂI like your artÂ comment on loads of Random Deviant pages without looking at the art is a brilliant tactic<br />28. Making a thread in the ThumbShare forum, dedicated only to me with the sole intention of throwing my own art into everyone's faces is a brilliant tactic<br />29. No matter how crappy my art is, and regardless of the fact that no one would hang it on their wall to save their lives, I must still make all my art available as Prints<br />30. The human body is beautiful and never pornographic, even if itÂs being penetrated anally by a furryÂs cock<br />31. My profile icon flashes or moves, that means IÂm a better artist than you<br />32. Submitting Deviations without commenting anything more than, Âme againÂ, ÂlolÂ, Â...Â or ÂmehÂ is artistic<br />33. Poetry isnÂt artistic if it doesnÂt have elementary-school rhymes and isnÂt about razors or angst or slitting wrists<br />34. WeÂve made porn of it. No exceptions.<br />35. There will be fav w/o comment drama. No exceptions.<br />36. Art memes are fun, and when they say I must tag three people, I must always tag EVERYBODY!!!11!<br />37. The cool kids set themselves to invisible<br />38. I must threaten everyone who might possibly steal my art with physical violence, even though IÂm behind a computer<br />39. Snape is perfectly capable of getting pregnant<br />40. I AM Asian. Really. CanÂt you see the painted cat eyes and the V-sign I make with my fingers?<br />41. My Desktop picture must contain a World of Warcraft-icon, and the wallpaper may under no circumstance have the correct aspect ratio<br />42. I paid money for my account, so everything I made has just become better than everything youÂll ever make<br />43. Even though I spend every minute I have on DeviantArt, I must still complain how much it sucks as often as possible.<br />44. I must always be proud of making the first comment, even when I have nothing more to write than, ÂFirst comment!Â<br />45. I can always delete my account and make a new one<br />46. It was an accident retard <br /><br /><br /><br />If this offended you, get over yourself. It's just for lulz. :3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So.....finally back online, cleaning up.<br /><br />I've been really sick for the past couple of weeks, and it's finally starting to go away. *w*<br />First horrible coughing, then sneezing, then coughing and sneezing, then a UTI, then all three, then nausea and indigestion on top of all that, then...well, you get the picture.<br /><br />But on the bright side, an old friend is coming back to town for a week.<br />*w*<br /><br />I've decided there's not much point in posting my overdue Xmas picture...so I've decided I'll add to it and save it for next year.<br /><br />Or post it if I have a really long dry spell for art. XD<br />See how lazy I am? Why do you watch me? XD<br /><br />I'm finally getting back to work on some things today, too, since I feel better. I've been distracted recently (and no computer due to WoW), but I'm hoping I can somehow make it up to all of you. :3<br /><br />Ah....right....<br /><br />And....I'll be posting some fanart.<br /><br />If you guess the series, I'll give you a free sketch commission. You have to guess before I post it later tonight, though! >w< *is evil* (Or tomorrow...since I am full of fail and illness)<br /><br />Everyone do your best to have a good day, okay?!<br /><a href="http://terrybogardplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/e/terrybogardplz.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconterrybogardplz:" title="terrybogardplz"/></a> OKAY!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm just going to shake my head.<br /><br /><br />Really.<br /><br />So....you just accidentally a whole conversation?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />.......Damn I hate people who hide it when they're wrong.<br /><br />It's not like I can't show you all.<br />I screencapped the whole conversation. Which was very lulzy.<br /><br />And I swear it's not that I'm trying to be anal about things.<br /><br /><br />But if you get a DD, it doesn't necessarily mean you're the best artist evah.<br />Just that someone really liked your work.<br /><br />Not to say all people who get DDs don't deserve it. I love checking the DDs. I get to see a lot of really unique and creative things.<br /><br />Still...<br /><br />Lots of gorgeous stuff goes unseen and unappreciated, and clusterfucked dictionary ripouts get a DD?<br /><br />Sick.<br /><br />And when I point it out nicely that it's not perfect? When I appreciate that maybe it's more a personal vocabulary experiment or something and art is art, no matter what I think of it...<br /><br />WELL HEAVEN FORBID I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE SAYING AND IT AMOUNTS TO BALLOON SHIT.<br /><br />I'm so....angry. I'm angry at myself for being too smart to devour this tripe, and too dumb to keep my mouth shut.<br />Angry at this other person for being an ignorant dumbfuck, angry at dA for shitty reading comprehension, angry at the community for turning a blind eye, angry at everything.<br /><br />Angry I'm writing this.<br /><br />I'm going to stress this. I WAS VERY NICE.<br />I WAS THE SWEETEST PERSON ON THE FUCKING PLANET ABOUT IT. PROPER CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.<br />AND SO SOMEONE CAN'T READ AS WELL AS THEY APPARENTLY WRITE, CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I'M NOT LAPPING IT UP AND GETS PISSED AND DEFENSIVE FOR NO FUCKING REASON.<br />CRITICIZES ME DIRECTLY LIKE I JUST KICKED THEIR DOG. <br /><br />THEN HIDE ALL THE COMMENTS WHEN THEY REALIZE THEY WERE ACTING THE PART OF AN IGNORANT FUCKTARD.<br /><br />Fuck it.<br /><br />Sorry for the rant. Sorry I'm spilling this hate out.<br />I don't like to. I really don't.<br /><br /><br />So....anyway, the moral of the story is "poetry is writ with the heart, not the thesaurus."<br /><br />I'm going to bed.<br />This cough and headache better be gone when I wake up. >.><br /><br />And don't go looking.<br />DO NOT GO LOOKING.<br /><br />I swear, I'd be as ashamed of anyone who trolled them on my behalf as I am of myself right now.<br /><br />I hate that.<br /><br />WATCHERS ARE NOT A PERSONAL ARMY.<br /><br />DON'T HATE.<br />YOU DON'T HAVE TO.<br /><br />.....Give me something to love. ;-;<br />Post funny links or something...<br />I feel really shitty.<br />And it's more helpful than this anger.<br />Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Less Sith, more Jedi. You can do it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I still find it hard to cope, but music is the all-curing universal language.<br />It's a nice warm day today, compared to the usual cold.<br /><br />I work 3-8 today, an unusual shift. *shrug* Oh, well.<br /><br />It strikes me how unproductive I've been. All these watchers and I give them nothing but journals to read. Not like I haven't been trying...<br />It's just that art doesn't come easy to me right now.<br />And I'm sorry for that. I will keep trying...<br /><br />Actually, I think I need to take a page out of Yoda's book. <i>Do or do not. There is no try.</i><br /><br />What I need to do is have a good stress relief day. Maybe a movie or two, videogames, new manga...all day.<br />That usually fixes me pretty well.<br /><br />My roommate's gonna try to make me clean tomorrow.<br />That'll be fun.<br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />When people tell me to do something, I lose all drive to do it.<br />I could be all excited about eating ice cream, but if someone said "Hey! You! Eat some ice cream now!" I'd immediately lose interest in it.<br /><br />I know the living room's mostly my fault....well, partly my fault.<br />Still, if you want me to clean, start cleaning.<br />It's weird, but when other people do something it makes me want to do it, too. (Monkey see, monkey do?)<br /><br />So if someone picks up some things, I go "oh, cleaning time" and start cleaning, too. Then they can stop as my OCD takes over and I whirlwind everything.<br />(Because I am really a Pidgeotto. >.>.....<.&lt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br />It takes less effort than screaming at people who just woke up after 2 hours of sleep.<br />Really, it does.<br /><br />And I'm sorry about my mass of shoes.<br />It's not my fault we don't have a shoe rack.<br />And I'm saving them for different occasions. (I'm a customization freak, so having a bajillion different outfits in a video game has trained me to do so in real life. XD Hey, it comes in handy! My webcam picture where I'm cosplaying Sasuke is a perfect example. Those shoes were tan sandals and scrap fabric leftover from my shirt! They looked awesome, too!)<br /><br />Blahblahblah I'm getting back in art mode in time for the holiday season....and I still have a ton of things to get done.<br />Wish me luck!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm taking them at their word.<br />Sorry I got up in arms.<br /><br />I was honestly quite saddened on reflection at the kind of negativity that breeds.<br />Anger and hate are born so easily from irritation and misunderstanding.<br /><br />And it's my fault.<br /><br />I don't need that kind of negativity festering in my gallery, so I took it down.<br /><br />You guys have a great day, and then some. <3<br /><br /><br /><br />********ALSO***********<br />Dorky Death Note parody:<br /><a href="http://phoenity.com/debunote/">[link]</a><br /><br />My entry into the Debu Note here: <a href="http://phoenity.com/debunote/page730#entry-1228888342">[link]</a><br /><br />****APPARENTLY, PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT A DEATH NOTE.

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm so unbelievably happy right now. I got back to drawing (nothing special; just a couple quick chibis for my coworker's website) and something awesome happened.<br /><br />While I was checking my email, I got a message from Atlus...<br />I GOT INVITED TO THE CLOSED BETA OF THE MEGATEN GAME!<br />Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE. An MMO.<br />S-S-S-SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!<br /><br />I'm a huge MegaTen fan, so my jaw hit the floor. I couldn't even sleep last night. It's a shame I have work so much this week. <br /><br />K-KYAAAAAA!<br /><br />On top of that, I'm really falling in love with Gurren Lagann. (Late to the party, I know.)<br /><a href="http://simonishappyplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/i/simonishappyplz.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsimonishappyplz:" title="simonishappyplz"/></a><a href="http://kaminaishappyplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/a/kaminaishappyplz.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkaminaishappyplz:" title="kaminaishappyplz"/></a><a href="http://viralishappyplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/i/viralishappyplz.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconviralishappyplz:" title="viralishappyplz"/></a><br /><br />As long as I don't think  about how upset things still get me and focus on the positive, I feel better.<br />I can't believe how simple it is.<br /><br />Also started a new rp with my old characters Wink and Vincent after redrawing them recently (And I must say, Vincent the Devil is quite sexy) so you'll inevitably see more of them.<br /><br />Probably lots of my old work, once I finish my requests and commissions.<br /><br /><br />I just had some chocolate, and I'll get some Mountain Dew at work to stay energetic for my whole shift~ (1-8:30, no breaks because we're always understaffed)<br /><br />Today is such a nice day outside, too. I feel it! <br />The blossom of youth! <a href="http://guyplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/u/guyplz.jpg?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconguyplz:" title="guyplz"/></a><br /><br />Ah....I should shut up, now. I wanna play IMAGINE but I don't have much time...<br /><br />Well....Maybe a little. >w><br /><br />((And I can't figure out how to invite other people to play...but here's my profile on the main site. <a href="http://profile.aeriagames.com/user/4598605">[link]</a><br />Sign up. All their MMOs are free to play and lovely looking~))<br /><br /> ]]></description>
