]]> ~trulyquixotical A Bit of an Explanation http://trulyquixotical.deviantart.com/journal/26903365/ http://trulyquixotical.deviantart.com/journal/26903365/ Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:15:15 PDT Surprisingly enough, it really has nothing to do with the fact that school has started up again.

Because I'm taking an art class, I have new stuff drawn. Duh. My problem is that 99% does not involve things that are mine (i.e. my characters.) It does not help that the last thing I wrote was about two pages of me explaining-Press Conference style-to every single one of my characters that I was putting them in 'The Box' because I couldn't deal with them running around my head nagging me about why they haven't gotten to do anything for the past couple months.
Most of them took it pretty well. Those that didn't at least didn't make a scene.
But one of them said something that has stuck with me for a while. _{(And I don't even remember who it was D:> )}

I have a Creativity Crush. Currently on The Prince of Egypt and Warcraft 3. If I think of anything that has to do with art and story, these are the first things that come up, and I am instantly enamored with whatever I come up with. No matter how irrelevant and stupid it may be. (Srsly. I drew a two page comic just so that I could use the line "Cheer up, noodle-butt!" on Ramses.

)
But this is my problem. And so I must deal with.
And also the irony of the situation is not lost on me. During most of my childhood I was much more interested in making up things for myself than just doing things based off of something else. Now suddenly it's turned around. D:

Yeah. Sorry.

I was just looking over the first couple pages that I did, and I have this massive urge to redo them.
But I won't.
I won't because they must be preserved for reference as to how much I have improved.
Instead, I will attempt a new page.
And we will see the difference.
~~And hopefully laugh about it.~~

This was a really big black paper with a very recognizable ME, in very noticeable white and primary colors, I don't think that it could have gotten 'misplaced'._{some jackass probably stole it...}

So while I'm rather entirely distraught about that, since it really is the last project of the semester, and now I don't have it, I resort to doing tiny scrap projects, since I can't bring myself to try and redo it. (It was one of those things where you have the one shot and it goes perfectly, and it is physically impossible to ever get it right again, you know?)
But, aha, my teacher seems to think that because I'm working, I have to join the Critique group. So hang my ditzy little piece on the wall, and I let my mind wander, only half listening to what they were saying, cause it's done, finished, complete. No force in the world is going to make me mess with it, because frankly, it's a piece of crap that can't get better than it was anyway.
But apparently, I can't get away with that. I have to staring intently at the person talking and nodding every other word. Since I'm not doing that, Teach, oh lovely fabulous Teach, starts chewing me out about how 'I'm very talented, and apply myself well' but she 'is worried about my attitude', and that I'm 'being rude and disrespectful to my classmates'.
This is the first time she has ever told me something good about myself, and it comes when she's reprimanding me? WTF?
And my 'attitude'? Oh, I don't know, maybe that's because MY PROJECT DISAPPEARED FROM A SMALL ROOM AND NOT A PERSON HAS SEEN IT.

tl;dr version : My art class sucks. My teacher is an idiot. And I have been in a bad mood for over two weeks with a much stronger urge to destroy art than create it.

Hurry up Winter Break. I need days off.

Oh my god, I'm finally on Spring Break.

I have never been so glad to see a break.
Yesterday, I woke up at 7:30. That's the latest that I've woken up in about...three months, I think.

I got all my tests done, and all my projects turned in, and all is well.
I am home free for ten, count 'em, TEN whole days.

So I woke up today, stumbled down the stairs for breakfast, and the sound of war cries and gun fire is shooting up from the basement. I smile to myself and think,
'Yep, the family's home for Easter.'
Easter is always fun, cause we always do something silly.
After it comes around, you'll be able to find some shenanigans below~

~Special~

The usual Holiday Candy Exchange has to be one of my favorite traditions. We've been doing it since we were kids for every holiday. (Christmas, Halloween, etc) I always end up with all the jelly beans. :3

Anyway, also another holiday tradition, we have corny holiday theme jokes and conversation starter question things. So my grandma was here, and for some of the conversation things, she had the weirdest answers and ideas. Half the time me and my brothers were just like "O_o Grandma" while we laughed and then she would say "Oh, oops. Don't tell anyone I said that."
XD

I love family gatherings~

~Art & Writing~

I somehow smell like colored pencils? XD
I've been coloring all day, and all yesterday, and I have accumulated a large pile of pencil shavings and bits of pigment lead (my pencils seem to break easily) around my desk, and I am most amused by this.
~Tazi-san has reminded me about Silver Foxes Comic, and I want to say, I'm so very very sorry for not updating that in so loooooong.
I'll get a couple more pages up over Break, I promise.

I have also sat down and started writing, and I now have a new introduction for Nameless Story, but that's not the cool part.
The cool part is...
I have gotten a NAME for Nameless Story. (If you don't get why this is so important and awesome, I won't explain it)
I shall pull together the main character sheet and toss that up, then begin on the next story. Which I think would actually be Ghost Speak. That's one that I really like. It's a lot of fun to play with.

Thanks for readin~

First of all I just want to say that I have the crappiest computer mouse to ever be used on the face of the Earth and that having a tablet is like having a small, mechanical, square angel sitting on my desk.
Much love to Shay. <33333

So that giant History paper that I mentioned a couple journals ago?
It's due next Thursday.
And I'm not even half way done with my rough draft. ;-; I only have half the required pages typed!
I have enough stuff to write about, but I just can't get it written >____<
The Spanish project is due on Monday and my group doesn't have all their crap together.
I have the strongest feeling that we're not going to get higher than a B on it.
But then again, one group actually said that they hadn't started theirs yet on

~Special~

We had one big party at our captains house last night. Many shenanigans ensued.
We went swimming, since she has a pool and two hot tubs (one inside one outside). Lots of interesting things happened with that, including someone having their hair and swimsuit get caught in one of the jets and then almost falling asleep.
Twice.
Good ol' Captain had a karaoke machine in her basement, so half the team was dancing and singing and making fools of themselves. The other half was sitting on the couch laughing and taking pictures.
Their rendition of 'Funky Town' was just amazing. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

I'm so glad that I play hockey. I really am. I don't know what I would've done with out it. All my teammates are such great people.
I love them so much. T^T

~Art & Writing~

So what I figure I'll do is post some cast pictures and maybe the first chapter of each story I'm working on, then link to all of them when I have them all up.

For one thing the hockey season ended last weekend, which really made me dread the coming of Monday, because it would confirm the end (we had a party-type thing Monday night. We're having another one next week).

Then I missed out on Fencing, which is disappointing, since I just got my new pistol grip foil in the mail. It is so much more comfortable to hold than French. I got hand cramps with the French, and the pistol just feels so natural.
But I didn't have a car, so I couldn't go.

Another thing is this damned Spanish project. >_<
I absolutely despise Windows Movie Maker. It won't even open its own files! Why did I volunteer to do the editing? WHY?!
But I got that English project done and presented! Got an A on it. Haha. >D
But now I also have an epic History paper to work on. Need to get a rough draft of it done by Monday. _{(Ugh, Weekend Research x_x )}
Fell asleep in class on Thursday. You can guess how that went.

My brother stopped by today!
But he's leaving for Mexico tomorrow morning. Shortest visit ever.

~Art & Writing~

I inspired my friends essay! :'D
I feel so warm and fuzzy inside knowing this.

Got a couple more pictures to do for some teammates (Should have those done by next Friday.)

Question: Should I make a list of my stories for you guys to vote on which you want to see first/more of?

~General~

This week was a decent week. I got good grades on some tests that I didn't study for (at all), but in return I have an uber project and a paper that I have to work on.
The balance of life annoys me sometimes. >\

Our last hockey game is tomorrow~

It's against a team that we lost to before, and with it being the last game of the season, we're kinda looking to win this time. Also our coach seems to have gotten an iPhone and sent us an email about it.
Not like I didn't expect him to do something like that; he's that kind of guy.

......A friend of mine has been freaking out about a bunch of tests that she had to take over the last couple days, and when I would try and get together so we could just hang out or even study, she got all frantic in a "No I have to get this done NOW !!11

*busy**study**stuff*" sort of way, which really just shouted to me "My tests are more important to me than you are." _{Learn to chiiilll man}
She might read this (she randomly checks to see what I've posted) and if/when she does, this is for her:
That was complete true, and I don't regret saying it.

~Art & Writing~

HaHA! >D
As you can see, I have posted Gunnar's design! (Which I'm quite proud of by the way. :'D)
Stuff on him is in the pic's description. I'll get some of the other ones up when I actually get my head around them.
(The stuff on the ship still stands!)

Question: If I were to make a list/poll of all of my stories/ideas, would you guys vote on which ones you want me to finish/post more on first?
Right now they're all kind of in a big pile, and getting an order to them would be kinda nice.

And this might actually turn out to be a long one.

~General~

For one thing, I have decided that the Special section will now only show up when there is something distinctly special, so much so that I couldn't possibly clump it in with the General stuff.

Anyway, I got my first penalty in hockey ever, for fighting back after a D from the other team checked me into the net!
Now one would say that if I didn't retaliate, it would've been fine, even better for us, but I was about to make a goal
As in:
My stick was on the puck, in front of the goal line, in the net. And their goalie decides to sit on my stick, and not the actual puck so of course I'm still trying for it.
And it also hurt dammit.
I believe that mine was a reasonable retaliation.
*sigh* Well, two more games left.

I finished an uber-big English project in exchange for getting nothing done on my uber-big Spanish project. Huzzah huzzah.
But then again, I've done just about half of everything needed for the Spanish project, since my group is a bunch of people
who don't know the meaning of time management....

~Art & Writing~

That thing about the bird-ship still stands. I have some kind of a vague idea for what the main body looks like, but it's the wings that annoy me, because I want them to kind of be able to move, but I don't know exactly how I should apply the joints of a bird wing to a giant metal sheet.
Mimicking nature with machinery is haaaard.

I have also taken a page out of *Agent-Elrond's book, and come up with a purpose of my _{_{first ever}} large sketch book.
Meaning I have my own Black Book now.
Which means that I draw a cool full color picture in it once a month, every month.

Oh how I love things from the 80's.

Ah, thrift shops. They are magical little places. Many awesome objects are to be found in their shelves.
I found the coolest set of iPod speakers, just 15 dollars. The work perfectly too. :3
I have dubbed it Blaster, to go with my iPod Soundwave.

Yes, I know I'm a nerd.

Three more play-off games and then the season's over

I'm really not sure if I'm upset or relieved. For one thing, I'll never have to put up with Coach and her fantastically stupid methods _{(First shooting drill we did was last month! LAST MONTH! We started in October!)}, but then I also won't be able to skate again until next fall (our rink closes for the summer). Things....even out, I guess?

Happy Valentines' day, Everyone!
I'll admit, it's not my favorite holiday, and it somewhat confuses me what with it's obsession on the lovey-dovey couples. After all, in Spanish, it's El DÃa del Amor y la Amistad, which is the Day of Love and Friendship. So what happened to celebrating the second part?

Even if one doesn't have a significant other to spend it with as a couple to swap boxes of chocolate and themed teddy bears with, it's still a perfectly good day to just enjoy yourself with your friends, (which is what I did) cause you love them too.
And it's also a good excuse to eat chocolate.
Lots and lots of chocolate.

Well, truth be told. I am procrastinating from several projects I really should be doing. But they're driving me up the wall, somewhat literally, and I badly need a break and do something that has nothing to do with them.

Both friends whose birthdays are today loved their cards and what I did for them. It's such a great feeling to do things like that for your friends

For one of them we're going thrifting this weekend. 'Twill be much fun.
Or really, a 'Grand Adventure' as we always call it.

I have an idea for a Valentine's day picture, but I'm not sure how to pull it off. We'll have to see how much I get done tonight; otherwise it'll still get up, just several days late.

*Shy-Light did this and it looked fun. I'm also a Transformers nerd to the core, so I really couldn't resist it if I tried.

The Rules:

You are to list down at least 10 Transformer Characters (From any series you so desire) that you are similar to in someway in personality or habits in your latest journal entry.

1. Wheeljack - He is my absolute favorite, for this reason. We blow things up. A lot. Not literal explosions for me, I don't work in demolitions, but tinkering with things and coming up with something new is always something I love to do, but often enough, it comes back and bites me in the ass in one way or another. General insanity is another one.
If there was a machine that builds machines that builds catapults, I'd probably be the one building it.

2. Ratchet - People who have seen me when I'm pissed off will know what I'm talking about. My temper can be rather...explosive at times. And, if I had things to throw at all times, believe me I would be tossing them at the annoyance in question.

3. Hound - I love Earth. Nature just amazes me to no end. I can sit in the grass and stare at the trees or the sky for hours happily. I can easily get enthralled in digging through piles of leaves and rocks to see what I can find.

4. Sideswipe - Mischievous is one of my favorite words of all times because it's one of the things I like about myself. I love a pulling a good prank on a friend. ...Or sometimes even on an enemy.
I'm also spontaneous and can be reckless.

5. Jazz - I have a friend who is Prowl to a T. She's also a Perceptor, but that's not the point. I'm pretty laid back about stuff and she's very rule-based and tightly wound. Improvising is something I'm prone to do, and also find fun.
However, I basically live under a rock when it comes to trends and such.

6. Bluestreak - I talk A LOT once I get going. It kinda snowballs. I can talk like Blurr, but I really have to focus and try to do it.
It's more of a 'just keep talking, it doesn't really matter how fast' type thing.

7. Hot Rod - I'm impatient, headstrong and stubborn.
And I don't plan on changing that.

8. Blaster - <3 Music< 3. Rock happens to be my favorite, but I will listen to just about anything.

9. Cheetor - It sucks to be the youngest in a family. But it also comes with some great advantages if you play your cards right >3

10. Airazor - 'That girl who hangs out with all the guys and has no problem with it' basically. 'Tomboy' if you will.
But she had to be about my favorite chara... ]]> ~trulyquixotical Mid February http://trulyquixotical.deviantart.com/journal/16791262/ http://trulyquixotical.deviantart.com/journal/16791262/ Fri, 08 Feb 2008 20:12:58 PST ~General~

Bah, this was a slow week. Nothing really happened, other than it snowed.

First and foremost, I'm not sick anymore~!
Yaaaay~
Got back to class and had no idea what I was doing~!
Not yaaaay~
Stumbled a bit on that, but I've got my stride back. I've never been so surprised by the sudden appearance of a Friday before, though. XD
I do not like English classes.

I have never gone through so many pointless lesson plans in one week.

~Art & Writing~

I must make a very large web.
.....
No, wait, scratch that. I must tear apart a very large web.
Yes, that's it.
Everything has gotten all woven together and there's characters being in places they shouldn't be!

But other than that, I'm feeling rather inspired. I have a lot of stuff to type up this weekend, and while I'm forced to sit in front of my computer (oh the horror...) I might as well kill .....*blinks* several... birds with ....many stones.

I found some old notebooks! *glee*
I never throw away my notebooks; not only is it always useful to keep old notes on hand, but I doodle so much in these things that it's not even funny. I'll flip through for some decent sketches and see what I can find. :3

~Special~

The hockey season is almost over

We have three games left and then playoffs. Those usually don't last long.
Hockey is the greatest sport ever. In my opinion anyway.
But I'm so very, very glad that I joined the team. I was amazed how often I saw everyone on the team outside of practice.
It was just so much fun, I'm sad to see that the season is so close to being over.

Cheers, to next year.

Not so! (at least for me)

I had a hundred and three degree fever for two days (Thursday and Friday). God, did that suck.
So Saturday, I'm feeling okay. Not dizzy, fever's gone, I can move around no problem. Barely ate anything though, but I didn't feel like I needed to since I wasn't hungry. Mistake!
Anyway, I figured 'I'm feelin' alright. I should be able to do hockey today.' So I go.
And I basically die out there on the ice.

I come home from practice, and I have this cough that wouldn't go away. This is somewhat of a normal occurrence; a little cough when I've just finished with some hard skating. Drink some water, catch my breath and I'm perfectly fine.
But nooo, not with this cough. It just kept coming back. And it's still here, the next day.
It's one of those gross 'wet' coughs, where you feel everything in your throat move around and you have to swallow a few times to get it all back in place.

So it's reasonable to say that I probably won't be playing in our game tonight.
Now I love playing hockey, so whenever I'm unable to participate, I'm pretty mad about it.
But tonight wasn't just a game. There were two birthdays we were celebrating after it, for two of our teammates, both of whom I very much like (They're good people).
And now I'm missing those, and the game.

This four day weekend sucks.

Here we are again, at the start of another post.
No, it won't be another monstrous block of text, I promise.
After all, I really don't have that much to say this week. It was a very slow, boring, and plain week.
Next week will probably be the same.
Personally, I hope not. I like having things to write about in this section.

~Art & Writing~

There are a couple of things I've been wanting to draw for a long time. I have a lot of free time coming, so I plan to work on those.

There's also a couple characters that I have absolutely no idea what to do with. But they've been running around my head, worming into several of my thoughts. So I'm going to throw them both on paper, hope they stay there for a while, and post them to see if anyone'll have suggestions of what I'm supposed to do with these two! >.<

Speaking of running around in my head, I have a story that's doing the same thing. It's commandeered most of my thoughts the past week. The reason I don't mind this as the two _{_{somewhat literally}} pointless characters, is because I had come up with this story over three years ago, and did absolutely nothing with it. The fact that it's suddenly written itself almost entirely out makes me .....giddy, I suppose. XD
(Sorry, I couldn't think of a better word to describe it.)

~Special~

I gave a friend of mine her late Christmas present. I have to say, I've never feared for my life from a hug before.
What makes me so happy about it is that all it was, was a calender. Just a simple calender of her favorite series. (Which happens to be Full Metal Alchemist, for those of you who wanted to know)
It was nice to see her so happy.

I saw the movie Juno today. It's really funny. I recommend seeing it, if you haven't already.
I also saw The Hunt for the Red October. That's a very interesting movie. It wasn't amazing, but it was good, and I'm glad I watched it. Can't pinpoint the reason yet though.

And so, here it is. The last day of Winter Break.
To those of you who are still on yours, I curse you and your lucky-ness. Unless yours started after mine, then I hope you enjoy it and make it last.

I can't say that I'm happy that it's over, I mean, who would be? But I am somewhat happy that I'll be falling back into the usual groove of things. Long breaks are nice, but they have such a different and slower pace that going back to the normal one is nice too.

"Pictures of You" is strangely fitting, even though there's really nothing in the lyrics for the moment. It's more just a 'mood' song, if you know what I mean. I've become rather obsessed with it actually. It is a nice song though. If you haven't heard it before I shoo you off my page to go give it a listen.

~Art & Writing~

A few days ago, my dad walked in and handed me a gigantic pack of paper. Not just paper, but one thing of paper, and one of card stock. He said he found it in his office and thought I'd like it (which I did.)
I normally just use printer paper, but I seem to have a problem with Paper Stealing Gremlins that like to take my paper in the middle of the night, leaving me with a depleted supply. So I would just use my sketch books (Which are the puny half-page sized ones).
I've never really used card stock before, but now that I have, I have to say that I like it. Very, very much. It doesn't get bent around as easily, my pencil doesn't dig in as much, and I have so much more room on it! (The large stockpile of paper I now possess is about twice the size of a normal sheet.)
I'm rather excited by the idea that I can just whip out a giant piece of paper whenever I want and doodle or sketch as large as I want. :3

And keeping in consistence with myself, I've re-written the beginning of one of my stories with two different versions! I'm going to have to pick one of them before I can actually get anywhere with it though. =\
I've also taken to writing random snippets that may or may not have anything at all to do with the main plot. But they are very fun.
At least to me. Maybe I'll post them when I have more of a basis for everyone else to go on, since the only place a good example of each character's personality and appearance is in my head. >.>

~Special~

If you remember from my previous post about the first day of the new year, I said that I would post a list of the previous years happenings and what I hope to happen/accomplish this year.
But just like that entry, I've decided that not only would something like that be long and boring for someone else to read, I personally don't care myself about those specifics myself. Let bygones be bygones and all that.

But I've been thinking a lot, (or maybe I've just been reading too much recently, which would've left me to my own thoughts just the same) and I've come to the conclusion that I don't particularly like 2007 turned out; whether through my action or inaction.
I'm hoping that I'll like 2008 better, but that all just depends on me, now doesn't it? So lets hope I can depend on myself, shall we?

Heheh, I guess we'll see how well that goes. ^_^"

I believe that hockey-wise, January is my busiest month, being the second to last of the season, and having the most games. My calender is marked up with red everywhere.

~trulyquixotical So it's the first day of 2008... http://trulyquixotical.deviantart.com/journal/16208461/ http://trulyquixotical.deviantart.com/journal/16208461/ Tue, 01 Jan 2008 14:25:07 PST
...Wait, waaaait, no. It's not as boring as the first day of 2007 was, never mind.
Hey, I guess that means that this year is off to a better start all ready!

Anyway, as it snows here and is astoundingly cold and frozen out, I find myself with a large amount of free time to type out a long thoughtful journal entry about the events of the previous year and what I hope to happen/accomplish in the coming year.

But I won't, because I'm notoriously lazy like that.

So instead I'll just say Happy New Year, hope you like it (it's not changing anytime soon) and I hope that everything goes as planned, or at least as closed to the plan as is physically possible.

Anyone have Resolutions they want to share? Mine is really just to get more stuff done and stop being notoriously lazy.
But it's going to be a hard habit to break, oooooh yesss......
*hefts sledge hammer* Well, off to work on that Resolution.

It's so good to know that I have two weeks off now. I don't have to rush for anything and do school work, or worry about hockey.

Got all my shopping done, which is a huge relief. (You know how stores can get in those last few days, right?)
I even have some money left. I'll probably be squirreling that away somewhere for something later >3

Kinda crappy weather here. It's drizzling, so now the snow is melting, but I believe it's supposed to snow again before the 25th, so it should be a White Christmas anyway. ^_^
I was always disappointed when it didn't snow on Christmas. Everything just didn't seem the same when everything wasn't covered with a blanket of white.

...Have I ever mentioned how much I love having brothers?
Cause I do.
I really, really do.

~Art & Writing~

Now since I have two weeks off, I can tackle some of the projects I've been having on my mind.
Specifically some character designs I've never gotten down on paper and starting that story with the dogs. Still debating about the title. (Suggestions?)

There's also a couple little snippets that I've wanted to write for a different story (Whose title is also under consideration...) mainly just to give some back story for some of the characters.

My brother's birthday is this week. Well, technically it was last week, but he wasn't home then, so we're celebrating it now. Just a cake and some little gifts. It'll be nice.

Christmas eve we always spend with my Grandma. I looooove~ going to my Grandma's. Always have.
She makes this great big Christmas dinner and gives us each a small thoughtful present. Normally something that we really reallly like, too. (She also has a knack for finding good books for us.)

~ I found out that my hockey coach plays the digery do.

~ I saw this one guy wearing a pink camo print sweat shirt. And he actually looked amazing in it. o.o

~Brothers be home. One of them told me that the other was here, and when I asked where, he said he grabbed a magazine and went downstairs, most likely to the bathroom. Since I was on my way to the kitchen, I asked him to check for me. So he leaned over the stairs and calmly shouted, (very loudly) "Hey, are you on the crapper?" when he got a reply he just looked at me and nodded then walked away. XD

As you've probably noticed, I've been tossing up a bunch of pictures of dogs recently. Now I have a new story idea and several characters taking shape. >3
Dun worry, you'll get to see some of the story, I promise.
Not guaranteeing some grand epic adventure. After all, I'm not even sure where it'll be headed at this point. XD

~---~

_{No green bullet section for you today~

Sorry, come back some other time.}

~Other~

I've taken to organizing my journal for some reason. Don't need no fancy CSS and subscription to have a nifty looking journal! >D
I really like using the little bullets.

...Well, not so much the red one. >_>
I know that the 'Other' section will always use blue, and the 'Art & Writing' will always use purple.
But...what shall I do with the green...?
Should I keep that 'General' section at the top? What color should it be?
....They need more colors.....
Suggestions?

Thanks for readin~,

Happy Title

Today was a good monday.

There wasn't really anything important that made it a Good Monday, but rather just several small things.
~Several of my favorite songs played on the radio this morning.
~I was actually awake when the morning started.
~I didn't freeze walking from the car to school this morning.
~Took two tests; both of them were easy.
~Gettin' some writing and drawings/illustrations for said writing done. Gives me a vague feeling of accomplishment. ^_^
~Just in general, I was in a nice mood for the entire day.

Brother be coming home next week :3 In time for Christmas.

Brothers

I always like this time of year. The area always looks very very nice when blanketed in snow (You also see a lot of deer this time of year. Not sure why, but you do.) And the house always smells like something good. Cookies, pies, pot roast~ Having the oven on also makes it nice and warm.

Not to mention all the theories surrounding Electric Bill come back. XD Those always make for some fun conversations.
_{(Electric Bill is a local guy who has insane amounts of Christmas lights every year. You can't tell if they change from year to year, but they always come on the day after Thanksgiving. We don't know his actual name, but someone made a name about what a big electricity bill the guy would have and that just stuck.)}

Home made cheeeeeesecaaaaaake~ It is gooooood~ l3
I've had better, but every time I eat it, I always remember something funny that happened while making it. (Cheesecake brings the best stories.)

Sarcastic Title

Started out with a huge bruise on my Knee, and then last night, I tripped over someone's stick during practice while I was fore checking and rammed into the boards. (Fell, and slid on my knees into the boards actually.) So now, I have a giant scrape over that bruise.
Hurts to touch it, let alone bend and use it. ;-;

Power went out last night. Woke me up. Not sure how, but it did. At the time I didn't even know that's what had woken me up. What I hate most about black outs is how everything resets after one. >.< So annoying to go around correcting clocks and turning certain things on/off.

Christmas shopping. Ugh. The stores always get crowded the second December 1st rolls around. -__-

Other

Possibly getting Assassin's Creed. Anybody hear anything about it?
I think it looks cool, but it only came out a few weeks ago, and newly released games are just about always expensive. =\

I just realized that I never finished watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure or All Dogs go to Heaven. I stopped half-way through both. Huh. I should go finish those, eh?

Thanks for readin'~
-T.Q.-

Thanksgiving is gooooooood~ :3
Good food, good conversation, and all around good times.

...Except for the fact that my mom forgot to put sugar in one of the pies. >.>
That doesn't count under good food, but it made for some good conversation about cooking mishaps. XD We have plenty of perfectly edible and delicious left-overs though :3
Except for the other pies. Those are gone.

Though it's only the day after, we've put up our tree. We have a fake one, since half the family is allergic to pine (Weird, I know.)

It's nice to have the whole family together, even if it's just for a few days. Twill happen again on Christmas. Am muchly looking forward to it. :'3

Art & Writing

Ugh, I just can't seem to make up my mind when it comes to some things. I think that I have a beginning for a story, and then when I get done with that chapter, I strip it all back down and re write it. I've done this on all of the stories I'm currently working on, and none of them are agreeing to just stay the way they are for more than a day! XD

And not only that, when I change around the very beginning of the story, I totally redo the characters too. x_x
I'll probably end up tossing up a few sketches or something of the new designs. See if you can guess who's who when I post them.

Other

Mass Effect is a very cool game. If you own a 360 I'd recommend checking it out.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is amazingly stupid and funny.

....I really want to watch Rent again. ....And Footloose.
........................And Firefly.

[Edit] Hey, 500. I feel important and stupid now.
Why do I even look at that number?

Question for the day; What kind of music do you listen to? Is it "popular" or is it just what you like?

~TQ, signing off.
Later.

I myself am having a mini party. Just me and a couple friends. We're just going to hang out, watch movies, eat candy. Nothing extravagant. Just chillin'.

_{Edit: We watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by the way. The new one, with Johnny Depp. We thought it was appropriate for the holiday we were celebrating.}

My my, I haven't made a journal in a long time, have I? XD

Well, there's not much news. I have a picture I'm working on, but it be a secret, so you can't see it yet. But I'll tell you that it takes forever to load and I almost lost it three times. (Barely recovered the first two, just lost about an hour of work the third time >.< )

My computer and my friends are having a lovers spat. Yes, lovers spat. Our computers seem to have them a lot. It's actually kind of funny. If they were actual people, they would probably be the subject of many "I give it _ weeks/days/hours" bets. But it's also very annoying, seeing as how we have very few forms of communication without our computers. (The thing is they work just fine with everyone else.)

Hmmm....What else is there that's happened in the past month....
I'm writing more than I have been. Very happy with that. Where as I used to be very sucked into writing my little fanfictions, I'm now very sucked into writing my original stories. It makes me feel bad though, I never finished some of those, and some I had planned on rewriting. But every time I go back, I can't stand the sight of the blasted things! DX
They were all just so bad. I don't particularly like writing fanfics myself anymore. I'll read them, like almost any other fan does, but writing them..... Not so much, now.

A friend of mine actually asked me how many stories I was working on at once. It took me a couple minutes to count them all in my head and answer her. XD
I believe the final count was something like this:
Including fanfictions: 11-13
Original stories only: 4/5
This was a while ago, so It's most likely changed, but it makes me see how much I've actually attempted to take on. I don't suggest you try it. It's very hard to keep everything straight and seperate. I've crossed my own worlds a few times. It was interesting to say the least. XD ( <-I use that way too much, don't I.... >.> )

That's about all for now. I really should remember to update this a little more.
But then again, I like reading long entries or emails, don't you?
There's our question for the day: What do you prefer to read, long things or short things?
Personally, short emails and letters always bugged me. That's what we have instant messengers and telephones for.

Till next time~
TQ

It's ..... interesting.

Also, articles on copyright are rather intriguing to read.

I'm talking so much rain that it's flooded just about everywhere, Powerlines all over are down, trees fell over...TORNADOES
Yeah, all sorts of crap.

So my power's out.
Been out for...'Bout three days.
But I'm not dead. :3
Just no power, and a very, very wet backyard.

I'm at a friends house who was just AMAZING enough to let me use her comptuer and do whatever on it. *hugs her* She is aaaaaawwweeesoooooome. She also gave me my first bowl of cookie dough ice cream.
Ever.
It was delicious T-T

I don't know when the power'll be back on, but here's to hoping that it'll be back soon.

You really don't know how great it is to be able to use a computer, turn on lights or have running water until you've been deprived of it for over 24 hours. (My house has a well, so the pump that brings the water up runs on electricity. Which we don't have.)

[EDIT] POWER IS BACK! HUZZAH!

It came back, like exactly the day after this was posted XD

I'm baaaaaack~

On the inside

Thankfully said window is across the rooms, and it hasn't quite figured out how to fly through the blinds. They're slanted funny at the moment.

The weird thing about this is that the only insect that ever bugged (haha, pun.

) me were mosquitoes, and flies.
And Silverfish.

(I. DESPISE. Silverfish. WITH A PASSION.)

So me being freaked out by a wasp is.....um, just really weird.
[Edit]Wasp is gone. :3

In other, non-bug related news:

ALSDJFSKFSK
I ORDERED MY FIRST TABLET. 8DDDDD
[Edit]ALSDJFSKFSK AGAIN!
Tablet came~~! X3
Having a tablet is friggin AWESOME. :3

I won't be doing entirely digital art, because I love my colored pencils too much to just abandon them like that. *huggles the boxes*. That would just be cruel.
But what I DO do digitally will be much better looking than before. ^_^

Which is lucky, because I can't draw crap now.

Anyway, does anyone else get that weird urge to clean/tidy up a room late at night? Like you start putting anything thing out of place away, and digging through piles of stuff and getting rid of all the useless junk and reorganizing drawers and such?
....No?
Well I guess I'm alone on that then.

And I would like to thank (read:blame) my friend for turning me into a So You Think You Can Dance fangirl. Especially for Neil and Pasha. <3 You just can't not love Neil and Pasha. I mean really. Those guys are awesome and amazing.

I saw my first Star Trek episode today!

Data is so cool. <3
I should 'thank' that friend for making me a Data fangirl too. >.>

I wrote about 2 pages of a story I've had a writer's block on for the longest time. :3 Very proud of that.

Like, weeeeee hours of the morning late.
But edited at a more normal hour of the day! 8D

But anyway, tossing aside the fact that I'm up late (anyone else who reads this would be reading it at a more decent hour anyway), who here has ever heard of a Holden Ute, or Commodore?
Anyone? No? (If you said 'yes' to anyone of those, you are one of the greatest people ever <3)

Well, both are a type of car. I want one. But they're only sold in Australia, so I can't get one. ;-;

Moving on now...
~Michelay, I'm really sorry I don't have another page of SFC up yet. I'm workin' on it though.

(Edit)Hush puppies are more than just a side dish!
How does one refer to the hours between 6 am, and after midnight? Because after midnight is very early, but it's also very late. And before six is early. So are the hours between midnight and six early, or late?
A question for the ages D:
Not really.
Twilight hours it is.
My, that was some pointless rambling.

I have some character designs that I'll post soon. I wanna color one of each of 'em first though.

BUT THIS IS WORTHY OF AN UPDATE, I SWEAR. (and my apologies to you Sunny.)

I SAW.
THE OPENING SHOW.
OF THE TRANSFORMERS MOVIE.
AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT
IT WAS AMAZING. INCREDIBLE. INSANELY AWESOME *Insert more synonymous adjectives for "great" here*
I will treasure my ticket forever :'3

I AM BUYING THAT DVD THE SECOND IT HITS THE INTERNET. [Edit] Not really! Dl
Same with the soundtrack.

[Edit] HAVE THE SOUNDTRACK. Going for the Score next. Personally I liked the score much better than the 'Soundtrack'. Half of the songs of which you won't even recognize from the movie -.-

MY GOD THAT MOVIE WAS AWESOME.

...Okay....Spazz is over. I think I'm do-
TRANSFORMERS! X3

Alright, NOW, I'm done. But I'll fangirling over this for a good while.

But I got it at Six Flags after going on roller coaster after roller coaster and having an awesome time

So I don't mind it that much.

I tossed up a few things in my scraps, a picture in the gallery, and I HAVE PAGE 5 DONE. My goal is to get 3 more pages done by the end of July. Doesn't seem hard, but starting small. I probably wouldn't get anything bigger done XD

Mmm....'Sall for now.
