We found some I liked, then we went next door to Chapters (it's a book store, by the way), 'cause I had to use the facilities. After that, I decided to check out some art books (I was looking for an anatomy book), when these two other girls walk up and start looking at art books too. I eavesdropped, of course, while pretending to look at a book. ;D<br /><br />They were talking about manga, anime, shoujo, bishies, one of their "characters", and they were also saying that lots of manga books sucked. <br /><br />Anyways that was kind of interesting, real life weeaboos. Moving on.<br /><br />I found this pretty sick book, called "Anatomy for Fantasy Artists" by Glenn Fabry. It's not manga/anime, it's just general realism. It's quite good. It has muscular men. And it has curvy women. ...........c:<br /><br />In other news, my brother's coming up to visit on December 5th! He has to go back in January, which means he's going to be here for almost a whole month! Pretty cool, if I may say so myself.<br /><br />Also, what's with all these random watchers all of a sudden? I don't know, I just find it kind of odd. Oh well, thank you all anyways!<br /><br /><b>And that's it.</b><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay okay okay.<br />Lately I've been totally obsessed with *<a class="u" href="http://bri-chan.deviantart.com/">bri-chan</a>'s art. Check her out if you haven't already.<br /><i><b>ANYWAYS.</b></i><br />A few weeks ago, my dad told me about this book that my grandpa gave to my brother (my grandpa's 93, by the way) a looooong time ago. He said he'd try to find it for me, so I could check it out.<br />He couldn't find it.<br />But, this weekend, we're working on fixing my brother's old laptop so I can use it, and my parents have been searching for these discs that they need to fix it. They check in his room, and...<br />...<b>my dad ends up finding the book!</b><br />He hands it over to me.<br />"The Know-How of Cartooning" by Ken Hultgren.<br />Here's a picture of the cover: <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4825/2822/1600/KnowHOW%231.jpg">[link]</a><br />It's SO cool. I could never find books like this in the stores... man. It's so old, so simple, but so great. It teaches everything I've been looking for, to be honest.<br />Anyways, yeah, I'm really happy about that. It's freaking fragile though, so I have to be careful when looking through it, but I've read it once already. I should be good.<br />It's pretty epic.<br /><br />Also, regarding the laptop, we need my brother's password. We've tried calling him, leaving messages, but he hasn't responded.<br />Plus he's going to a Bob Dylan concert tonight. I hope he'll respond before then, I wanna use this thing. :l<p><br /><b>EDIT:</b> Yo, is it just me, or are some recently submitted files (probably .pngs) not showing up on dA? I just uploaded a sprite, but it's not showing, along with many other deviations.<br /><br /></p> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I made a new icon. It will probably please me for the duration of... a week. GEHEHEH I'll probably make more anyways, of other AA characters. gfhdgfdhgf I also kind of have an art block right now so I'm just kind of... screwing around.<br /><br />UHM that's kind of... it. I should take PW/AJ/AA/whatever you want but they'll look extremely similar to my icon requests. That would be rad. EXCEPT *<a class="u" href="http://yoghourt.deviantart.com/">yoghourt</a> IS MAKING AN ICON FAMILY THING SO I CAN'T DFJDFKLJK<br /><br />Also we had a Geography test today and I totally failed it lol. I GUESS I'LL WAIT AND SEE<br /><br /><b>EDIT:</b> I got 87%, 31.5/36. ;D<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I was bored, so I clicked it, not reading ahead on the board. So, it has the image advertising the NC Mall, that's like "is your pet underdressed?" etc. I go back to the board, and hear something about a fake login page. <br />A while later, while on another board talking to my friends, I randomly get logged out. So, I RETYPE the address bar, as I'm kind of suspicious, and I log in. All's good.<br />But then, I have to restart my computer because internet connection died. I do so, and I turn it back on. I hadn't logged out before, but when I got back online on Neopets, I was logged out. So, I log in again.<br />Then, I get the ever-lovely message stating that my account has been frozen.<br />The end!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ On Neopets, that is.<br /><br />I just got like, what, 280K from the auctions alone? With doubles of lab map pieces I already had? And now I have 500K? Totally?<br />Yeah. I have 6/9 lab map pieces. I really just want to buy the rest now, but I think I'd need at least another 100K.<br />I need pieces 1, 4, and 6.<br /><br />Now, if I DO get the map, I've got a problem.<br />My <a href="http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=textarea">main account</a> has gotten a couple of suspensions, warnings, etc. and I'm kind of worried that if I slip up just one more time, I'd lose the account, and the map.<br />So I'm thinking I should use a <a href="http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=nijichan">side account</a> (crap name I know lol).<br />I really don't know.<br />I'm thinking that using a side would be best, since I've got no warnings, suspensions, nothing on there, but... I don't know.<br />What are your opinions?<br /><br />ALSO my mom bought me Hotel Dusk: Room 215. OH <i>BROTHER</i>. It's cool.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Happy (belated) Halloween! <br />As it's belated, here's your... chocolate bar wrappers! ...WHAT I ate them already, it's belated. Durr.<br />Uh, I've been practicing my shading lately. I like shading skin since I shade it with pink and yellow like everyone else does~~~**~*~**~*@(&$@#)*<br />I'm also still obsessed with ~<a class="u" href="http://fjarlsen.deviantart.com/">fjarlsen</a>'s art and I wish they'd post some soon hmmmm? No no it's cool, I'll just <strike>break into their car and drive it into a ditch, then promptly light it ablaze</strike> wait.<br />Also, me and Avery have talked on MSN a lot. We are BUDS! He said I'm the only person he actually enjoys talking to btw which kind of makes me happy. But yeah, we're friends, stuff is cool. I should put that stuff on LJ, but I don't know how to really do it.<br />I downloaded the The World Ends With You soundtrack and MAN is it spiffy. Three Minutes Clapping, Game Over, Twister, and Transformation are probably my favourites. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/flirty.gif" width="30" height="26" alt=":flirty:" title="Flirtatious" /><br />I also got two new jackets and they look PRETTY DARN COOL.<br /><br />That's kind of it for now, I guess I'll update.<br />Comment you lazy watchers >:c<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm really happy.<br />Contact me on MSN or through a note or something if you wanna know why. I'm not putting it here.<br />It's probably not even worth the trouble, but, just for you curious folks out there.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm totally owning at school. I got 54/55 on a Math test, level 4s in Art (even though I forgot the most important detail in one, lol), and I'm just awesome at Language.<br />Alsoooo there's a huge graphic novel project due next Thursday. Only, being me, I have to put shitloads of detail and stuff. It doesn't even take me that long, but like, my teacher keeps saying "You know, you don't need to put so much detail in". But seriously. I just have to.<br />It's not even that much detail, compared to some of you fellows on dA! Gr, it's like he's telling me to underachieve. Which I refuse to do.<br /><br />Alright, one of the stupidest things I've ever done. Even though it was really fun while it happened.<br />Me and Daelyn decided to race down a hill, right? Not really for any reason. The only thing is, though, that the grass on this hill was <i>wet</i>. Therefore, slippery. <br />So, we run, didn't notice the grass yet. We were running to this manhole, okay? We start running, <i>really</i> fastly, having fun. We get to the manhole, but we were going too fast, so we jumped on it, then kept going. We both slipped and slid down the rest of the hill on our rear ends (we're still in minor pain from it, haha).<br />We probably looked like idiots. But, nobody saw. Oh god. That was stupid.<br /><br /><b>EDIT:</b><br />Aggh my aunt is visiting. I mean, I guess I have to love her since she's family, but... I dunno. She snoops in <i>everything</i>. She looks at stuff she's not supposed to, she creeps up behind me and gets her face up really close, and starts talking in a low tone. If we weren't related, I'd kick her in the shin then run and call 911. Seriously, she freaks me out when she does that. Also, her breath smells. Really bad.<br />She stares at me a lot, too. I-I think I saw her looking at my... chest area a couple of times. lksjfklsj She's so scary. What else... oh, I think she's an alcoholic. She drinks a lot. Though, my parents don't ever drink (unless she's here, lol), so maybe it's just more than I'm used to? I dunno.<br />I feel bad about it, but... she's just... annoying.

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, my class has this "take home test" thing for History. It's due tomorrow, and I'm just doing it tonight. ...Even though it's already done.<br />Anyways, we had to write a paragraph about one of about 7 topics, showing our opinions, the facts, all that. I thought I'd post mine here, just for some fun. <br />Voici:<br /><br />"<b>How are the concepts of exploration, mercantilism, and colonization in the Age of Exploration, from 1450 to 1600, related or connected to one another?</b><br />	Exploration, mercantilism, and colonization are very related to each other. As, you see, exploration is, obviously about exploring new places. Now, when exploring new places, if you find a place with no inhabitants already, youÂll probably want to claim it, to call it your own. That, my friends, is colonization. Or at least, the beginning of it. Once you claim that land, you surely donÂt want it to get stolen by someone else (you claimed it in the first place, so that part is obvious). So, now youÂve got to get some people to settle there, and make sure that everyone knows itÂs your land, and youÂre not going to let anything happen to it without your permission. YouÂre done colonizing... so now what? Well, why not explore some more, and see if you can get any profit out of it? <br />	YouÂve found another land, already claimed and colonized, but by someone else. YouÂd want to befriend them, most likely, to see what you can get out of it. A good way to do this is to help them get what they want, and, in turn, get what you want. One way of doing so is mercantilism. Mercantilism is pretty much when you buy raw materials from a group of people, take them and make better and more useful items out of them, then sell them back for money, gold, silver, etc.  ItÂs a win/win situation, really.<br />	To colonize, you must explore. To do mercantilism, you must explore. To colonize, you must do mercantilism (at one point or another), etc. It all fits together one way or another. <br />In conclusion, yes, they are related, and that is roughly how.<br /><b>By Aubrey [Last Name]</b>"<br /><br /><br />I'M. GOING. TO. FAIL.<br />I think you're supposed to sound smarter when writing stuff like that... but I don't know.<br /><br /><br />P.S. Kiriban at 2,000 kthnx<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Any of you guys ever heard of Spore? It's by the same people who made The Sims, and let me tell you, it's pretty awesome.<br />I just spent most of my morning (morning on weekends ends at 2:00pm for me) playing it. The cell stage was insanely fun (for some odd reason), and the creature stage is even cooler. You can make allies, enemies, you can make certain species border extinction... ah yes, it is extremely fun, and is probably one of the only computer games I've spent a few hours on in one go (I mean, except those Nancy Drew PC Games. Those things are <i>epic</i>).<br />My creature, the Rylish (shut up I know it sounds like relish sldjksdlgj) resides on planet Desli. Their looks have been altered many many times, in odd ways. But, they're killing and charming <i>machines</i>, I tell you.<br />...Yeah.<br />Never heard of Spore? Go <a href="http://spore.com">here</a>.<br />If you have heard of it, save up about 60 bucks and buy it ASAP. Good? Good.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Hot art, right there. Check it out and watch, please. It's... too cool. ksjflsdjgk<br /><br />Also Avery has a soft spot for puppies, luls. It's kind of hilarious.<br /><br />ALSO <br />TWEWY (The World Ends With You) is a pretty hot game. I can't beat that freaking bear thing that you have to fight after helping those two girls near the beginning though. I'm training a lot until I battle it again. kdjflkj I hate failure even though I should be used to it by now.<br /><br />BYE<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, just for kicks, I was looking through the Newest Anime/Manga submissions to dA.<br />It's hilarious how many people say that they draw manga, when they really don't. Sure, they've got the eyes down, but nothing else. The arms and legs look like noodles, the anatomy is completely off... BUT HEY IT'S ANIME SO IT'S ALL COOL<br /><br />There are very few anime/manga artists on dA (that I know of) who actually have it down pretty well. I respect them. But it just annoys me when people say they can draw anime/manga, when they really can't. <br /><br />MIND YOU, I have not even the slightest idea what MY current style is. I don't think it's anime/manga, but it may be. I really hope not. klajlkjfkljg I'm infected with the weeaboo artist virus, probably.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sup>I'm really getting into editing sprites.<br />Ever since I made my new icon yesterday, which is based off of a sprite from Pokemon, I've been screwing around with other Pokemon sprites.<br />So, I was bored and was looking through this Pokemon sprite site, and found a sprite in particular that looked like it could be edited into Maggey Byrde, working at Tres Bien.<br />So I did that.<br />Now, I'm just going to try and make as many Ace Attorney characters from Pokemon sprites as I can.

This year's not going to be like every other year so far. <br /><b>WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?!</b><br />Yes, different. Okay, get ready, 'cause here it comes. <br />At my old school, there was our town's local <strike>dump</strike> highschool right next door. My school is JK-Grade 8, right? Wellwell. This year I'll be in Seventh, and the kids who were in Seventh last year will be in Eighth(no, really?). So now, the new Grade Eights and Sevens will be going over to this new wing in the highschool. Woohoo. We won't be able to use the cafeteria, which lots of kids are pissed about, but lol. It'snotthatbigofadeal. <br />Anyway anyway.<br /><b>ALONG WITH THIS EXCITING NEW NEWS,</b> kids from this other school somewhere in our town will be moving into the new wing as well! Greattt. New kids.<br /><br />Screw this. Ahahahha I know some of those kids, they're not the best.<br />I mean, we're not either, but whatever.<br />The principal and... the faculty are working on blending us two schools together into one <sup>big</sup>happy<sub>family</sub> but I don't think it's going to work as soon as they want.<br /><br />Lol, a few days ago, I went by the school, and saw the teachers driving up with their cars with all their school supplies.<br /><b>I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT A BIT EARLIER.</b><br />Like seriously.<br />"Don't procrastinate, kids!"<br /><a href="http://objection1plz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/b/objection1plz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconobjection1plz:" title="objection1plz"/></a><a href="http://objection2plz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/b/objection2plz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconobjection2plz:" title="objection2plz"/></a><a href="http://objection3plz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/b/objection3plz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconobjection3plz:" title="objection3plz"/></a><br /><a href="http://objection4plz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/b/objection4plz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconobjection4plz:" title="objection4plz"/></a><a href="http://objection5plz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/b/objection5plz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconobjection5plz:" title="objection5plz"/></a><a href="http://objection6plz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/b/objection6plz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconobjection6plz:" title="objection6plz"/></a><br /><br />Ummm... anything else...<br />OH YES.<br />I got a webcam.<br />...That's such important information eh?<br />STALKERS WILL NOW SWARM ME<br /><br />I tried playing various Castlevania games but dammit they're hard.<br />Like seriously.<br />Either that or I fail.<br />But I really want to play those games.<br />I'm also working on one of the Final Fantasy games.

                <description><![CDATA[ <i>Smiling in my arms for all those years.<br />What a fool,<br />I don't know about tomorrow,<br />what it's like to be,<br />ahhh~<br />I was sure<br />Couldn't let myself to go<br />Even though I feel<br />The end.</i><br /><br />I know I'm being a jerk about this. I just won't shut up about my brother leaving for school.<br />But you know what? It's tough.<br />When you've lived with a person at your side for all of your life, cried when they went to elementary school and you went to daycare, cried when they went on the grade 8 ski trip, cried whenever they went on band trips?<br />It's <b>tough.</b><br />I know that I just have to get used to it.<br />But at this moment, it feels like my family's climbing a mountain, 'kay?<br />Like... we're getting closer to the top. The top is when he leaves. We're so close to the top that <i>just now</i> we're realizing what the top of the mountain really is.<br />We hadn't thought of it before. We know it's a good choice, but it's scary nonetheless.<br /><br />The absolute <b>best</b> thing is, school starts like... 3 or 4 days after.<br />I know I'm going to break out into tears occasionally during class.<br />I don't give a care.<br />I'm sure having trouble controlling the tears right now, and I know I will then.<br />But I'll keep crying anyway.<br />I'm crying like mad right now, but I'm still typing and thinking normally, so I don't really get why I can't just keep crying during class.<br />Honestly, I'll be paying attention, I'll just be crying. Not that much of a difference.<br /><br />If kids start calling me emo, or whatever that is, I won't give a crap.<br />Honestly.<br />My goal at the moment is just to get through this, and get used to it. So I don't really care what my peers think.<br /><br />Also, my dad bought a webcam so me and my brother can chat it up, <i>live.</i> It's a good idea and all, but... I'll be able to see him, but I won't be able to go and give him a hug. <br />Like seeing something, but not being able to reach out and grab it.<br /><br />"If you don't care what people think, why are you putting this up?"<br />I need to vent, okay?<br />I think I've completely vented-out my friend Olivia already, and I don't want to make her explode.<br />But yeah.<br />It feels good to let this out, but I still don't feel completely better.<br />I don't think I will until the whole deal goes down, but whatever.<br />This has helped a bit.<br /><br />Also, it's an odd coincidence that I'm just now finding relations to this event and the songs I've been listening to a lot?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Fine, I give in.<br /><br /><br />*give up<br /><br />As some of you <i>may</i> have noticed, I've been a total pain about my art. I'm always like, "THIS SUCKS" or "CRAP, MUCH?" or "FAIL".<br />I'll admit. I like some stuff I draw. Some of it truly is horrible (Maya, lol), but some of it is pretty cool, I guess.<br />I just hate feeling proud about myself.<br /><br />My mom kind of thinks I should get therapy. She also thinks I have depression. LololololNO.<br />I'm just a quiet kid.<br /><br />ANYWAY<br />I'm still having trouble accepting that I'm even writing this. Anyone have any tips on how to maybe gain self-esteem/respect? I don't really know.<br /><br />I think I hate being proud of myself because of those kids on Neopets (OH BOY THOSE PEOPLE ARE SOMETHING TO BE JEALOUS ABOUT) are like, "LOL I PWN Y0U N00B" and they're all high-and-mighty.<br />I'm jealous of them.<br />But... that's stupid.<br />I hate them, and I'm jealous of them.<br />LOL I'VE ADMITTED WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR<br /><br />I'm not as smart as people older than me (wow, really?) so if someone proves me wrong, I automatically think "Okay, I was wrong". That's alright, right? No, because then, I convince myself that I'm always wrong, and will never be right about anything.<br />Someone will always prove me wrong.<br /><b>Always.</b><br />I will never be correct about anything.<br /><br /><br />But then again, "in real life", I feel like the high and mighty person who's always proving people wrong. No offense to my friends, but they're mostly always wrong. It makes me feel kind of good, but I hate hurting people's feelings, so--<br />Wait, maybe since I hate hurting other people, I'd rather hurt myself?<br />(I'm actually thinking this through while writing, no joke)<br />That's stupid.<br />BUT SEE HERE NOW?<br />I'm putting myself down for putting myself down.<br />This is annoying. And stu-<br /><br />Okayy.<br />So.<br />This journal may seem kind of useless but I had to get it out.<br />This has been bugging me, and, to be honest, still is.<br />I hope you kind of get how I feel now, and get why I put myself down so much?<br />Idk. This whole journal is pretty stupid.<br />Prove me wrong, go ahead.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

We hope to get a lot more artists so there can be more diversity, but it's pretty awesome already.<br />"Guild Stats<br />Page Views: 3855<br />Members: 17<br />Messages: 369<br />Founded: 08/12/2008"<br />Rofl.<br />The leader set one of the tags as "Miley Cyrus" which probably got us all of those page views in only 2 days.<br /><br />It's awesome.<br />If you play Neopets and can draw and like taking requests, by all means--<br />Neomail sunnybunches or intersix. ;D<br /><a href="http://www.neopets.com/neomessages.phtml?type=send&recipient=sunnybunches">[link]</a><br /><br />Anyway.<br />It seems MGMT is getting more popular?<br />I was in Old Navy yesterday and they played Electric Feel.<br />I <i>really</i> hope that MGMT doesn't end up like Panic! At The Disco (yeah, I know they dropped the "!"), Fall Out Boy, etc.<br />But how could they? MGMT is way better than those people.<br /><br />I'm also growing to like Tokyo Police Club and Radiohead a lot more. o: <br /><br />Uhhhhh.<br />This journal's not as pointless as previous ones, so, thumbs up! (:<br /><br />Oh yeah, and I like Franz Ferdinand again.<br />Remember them? They hit it big for a while and then kind of... fizzled out. |: <br /><br />But yeah okay thanks for reading.

                <description><![CDATA[ I just got back from a weekend camping trip, though I hardly qualify it as camping because we brought a PC, all of our games, gaming systems with us. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /> <br /><br />It's been concluded between me, my brother Colin, and his girlfriend Marli that when you're camping or anything, you just need to bring a whistle for protection.<br />I wore one all the time, and even at night.<br />Just in case I got kidnapped, then I'd blow the whistle a lot and sack them, blow it some more while they're in pain, then run and call the police.<br />SEE HOW THAT WORKS? <br />And I'd keep it in my pocket so that if I <i>did</i> get kidnapped, they would be like "Oh, this girl doesn't have a whistle! She's good to kidnap, then!"<br />WELL <b>I SURE SHOWED THEM.</b><br /><br />Oh, we played a lot of Boggle.<br />One time, I was looking for words that Boggle had served up... and guess what word I found.<br />It looked sort of like this:<br />YKMCI<br />AEAEV<br />OSLAC<br />IIKQuA<br />KADJF<br /><br />Hmmm what word did I see there?<br /><br />OH WE WENT TO A STORE AND THEY HAD <i>WHISTLES</i> FOR SALE.<br />They're stealing my ideas, darnit.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For I lack one.<br /><br /><br />Uhh, I've been coughing a lot lately. Like. Coughing up a storm. Although that'd be kind of cool because... I would've made a <b>storm.</b> Out of my <b>mouth.</b><br /><br />I have this Hello Kitty lip gloss and it tastes like <i>heaven.</i><br /><br />I've finally figured out how to get the audio off of videos.<br />...But the real question is, <i>is it legal?</i><br /><br />I bought Volume 2 of <b>Sonic Underground.</b> Ever seen that show? I <i>love</i> it.<br /><br />The whole "mood" thing was taking too long to load so I'm going to leave it as confused.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
