I'm glad that a lot of people are still willing to buy stuff that isn't Hetalia lol.

I hope to do this again next year and maybe by then I can make stuff for what's popular because it won't still be Hetalia. >_>; Hopefully.

Oh also! Last semester, I was busy with Megiddo2012 (a comic tournament) and finishing my entry for that, which you can see here.

But yeah, I realllyyyy need to get stuff done now 'cause I have an Artist Table at Fanime! Tabling for the first time yay!

I don't have much to say, except that I'm gradually going to be uploading things in a few weeks. For the time being, I'm still working a lot in my sketchbook only but hopefully, when I put things up, it will show improvement. When I put up scans from my sketchbook recently, I've been getting a lot of comments about how the way I draw now looks like the designs from Eureka Se7en. The fact is that the animation studio for that show, BONES, is one of my favorite studios and they influence me a lot. So yeah, I suppose I do take after them in the way I draw.

But I guess I'm a little curious... does the way I draw remind you of any particular artist/anime character designs?

I was at my Aunt's house in Oregon this past week and I was so amazingly productive! I mean, I guess I had nothing to do besides art since they used dial-up Internet. xD;; So yeah, I did four pieces in like 5 days. Also, I watched all of Terra E and the first two seasons of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles. Seriously, I feel really good! And now, I also have millions of thumbnail sketches in my sketchbook waiting to be made into illustrations, so yeah.

Check my livejournal for AX pics!

I'm really trying to improve so I'm gonna try to make like a piece everyday so bear with me if some (most) of them really suck. >.>;

Also, I FELL the other day. Like, I was walking and tripped and just fell flat on my face. Yeah, I hadn't done that since like ... 5th grade? So for a while, I was at a loss of what I was supposed to do with the wound lol.

Anyway... man I'm so glad I didn't end up going anywhere far away for college. I'm a family kinda girl after all. : )

Avatar was awesome. Day of Black Sun just proved everything I loved about this series and why I obsess over it the way I do. xD I'd go over every single thing I found awesome about Chapter 10 but that'd be way too long so I'll make a disorganized, shortened list:
- fish submarines were awesome!
- caterpillar tanks kept making me laugh xD
- Sokka's speech was adorable
- No, Haru, just NO
- Did you guys catch the hot swampbender? <3
- Katara was amazing
- Appa's armor was EPIC (did Sokka really make that all by himself?? Toph must've helped him)
- Toph = WIN 4EVER AND EVER; also Sokka's awe at Toph's awesomeness was funny too xD
- SokkaxAzula hints wut?
- Yay Teo!
- Zuko, oh Zuko, you make me so proud! <3
- KLA:JK#L:!QWHEN IS WESTERN AIR TEMPLE AIRING??

Also, I was wondering, to anyone that has ever said this, what exactly does it mean when you say that you like my style? I never quite understood that comment.

I work 10 hrs a week (not a lot, really) and go to class and feel like I don't have time for anything! I can't believe I actually had two essays due this week, one after the other. Dang I hate essays... they're so difficult for me now. In high school, I think it was more about making yourself sound good in essays but now, the ideas also have to be top-knotch. Especially for Philosophy, I'm having so much trouble. -_- It's probably because I can't construct logical arguments. Yeah, ask any of my friends and they could probably tell you that I do not use logic most of the time. xD

On the other hand, my art classes are pretty cool. They're really basic but at the same time, that makes it fun because I can push myself more to do well on each project. Unfortunately, that hasn't been working out too well haha but I do think I'm getting better, especially with figure drawing. But everytime I feel pretty good about my work, I glance over at my friend's paper in art class and feel like I'm getting bludgeoned over the head with how good he is. I like this cycle though. It makes me really aspire to get better. So while I'm not certain about what exactly I want to do with art, I know for sure that I want to get better. Elitely so. xD

And I'm going to a Halloween party tonight even though I have an essay due tomorrow! Whee!

I'll draw anything but the simpler it is, the less time it'll take~ xD

School has been good! It's a lot less stressful than high school and everyone always gives such insightful comments in class. I'm taking two art classes (Design and Drawing) and a writing class that goes along with my philosophy class called "Social Ethics for Earthlings and Others". xD My professor for philosophy is such a nerd haha. But she's awesome and we all love her.

Also, I love the Anime Club here! Everyone there is really nice and we watch cool stuff, unlike in high school. Right now, we're watching Nodame Cantabile, Code Geass, and sola. I'd seen about 3 episodes of Nodame but stopped because I kept comparing it to the drama and that made it so much less enjoyable. But now, it's been a long time since I've seen it so I'm enjoying it a lot more. Watching it makes me miss piano sooo much. ;[ I'd watched about 6 episodes of Code Geass before I couldn't take anymore but the second run through seems a little better. I actually liked the first episode of sola. It's quite interesting.

But I really would have liked to draw stuff for people so if I started doing kiribans again, would anyone care? xD

And also, MOVE-IN IS WEDNESDAY. EEP! And classes start Monday! X_X

It was held at the Long Beach Convention Center (I heard next year's in LA???) this year, as opposed to Anaheim, which was a biiiiig minus in my opinion. Having the con at LBCC required lots and lots of walking under the sun in my scorching hot Azula costume. Which brings me to my next point.

For three days, I was Azula from Avatar: the Last Airbender and I was Lisa Yadomaru from BLEACH for one day for the BLEACH gathering. It was fun being Azula despite the heat 'cause I got a bunch of compliments since I used vinyl to make her armor (half the reason why the costume is so hot) and little girls recognized me! xD I dunno if you guys know who Lisa is from BLEACH, but it was really disappointing that like one person at the BLEACH gathering knew who I was. >.>

Hm so Prom was very fun, I'd say. Going with friends was totally worth it and everyone looked so hot! xD Everything was good.

All right so I am gonna be a Trojan! Exciting! I'm so incredibly torn about going away for college. But for goodness sakes, I'm not even gonna be that far away. xD;; While I'm very happy and excited, I'm also sad about trivial things like seeing my friends everyday or not having so much junk in my room. Seriously, I was cleaning my closet yesterday and I found clothes from like 3rd grade in there. xDD

I'm planning to major in Art so I seriously have to start drawing again. I'm so rusty. x_x

Well, May looks like a hyper-busy month again. -_- IB tests + 1 AP + 2 piano competition. Well this is the last crazy May I'll ever have (hopefully) and I'll just do my best, I suppose. xD

I gave up on Prom. That's what I told myself. I give up. I'm not going to have a date. And it's not a big deal. But, I can't help it when people around me in my classes are all getting dates. I start thinking "what's wrong with me? why don't people ask me?" And it's a dumb question, really. It's simply because I don't talk much with the guys in my classes (they're IB guys, can you blame me? >_>. But still... I don't know. Whatever.

[edit] Oh and I'm working on a piece. I'm going to be trying something new with art. No matter what people say to me, I think my IB art show was crap. Or rather, it was more like a transition/training period for me. Many of my pieces were copies and the ones that weren't were mediocre at best. I'm going to be trying new things. And I think I may be going to USC.

I was at a friend's house today "working" (seriously... we never get anything done xD) on a Spanish project and I was doodling on her etch-a-sketch and it was so fun! I was drawing random horror movie scenes from The Grudge and The Messengers to freak out my friends, ahha. xD

Yep, anyway, so excited!

Nor until summer break.

It's really frustrating with my drawing. I've found that I get the urge to draw at the craziest and most inconvenient times. During the summer when I have hours and hours of free time, I can't draw a stroke. But during the school year, when I have hours and hours of schoolwork to do, I have to draw. Ideas just spontaneously assault my brain and I have to draw them. Darn artistic drive. >_>

It's always hard for me to choose who to give presents to because I'm a person who is touched very easily and if I gave presents to each person who meant something to me, it would be like 100 presents, probably. XD So I have to cut down on many people but I hope they still understand that I love them and that they are important to me. And even though I cut down a lot of people, I still have two presents left to get which I think I might have to make. >_>;; So yeah, I hope everyone else is having as much fun giving presents as I am! :]

This Thursday, Music Appreciation Club will be performing at an orphanage and I'm also pretty excited about that. This past month, we had a candy fundraiser and we made about $250. This past Friday, we went to Walmart and used all the money to buy presents for the orphans. :] We bought basketballs, a football, a DVD player, DVDs, and lots of board games.

Yay for Christmas!

Recently, my dad went on a trip to Japan and while he was there, he visited a Japanese animation school founded by Leiji Matsumoto (of Galaxy Express fame). He asked me to e-mail him some of my work to him so he could show the school to ask for advice about what I should do.

Apparently, I'm in. They said that I have the potential to go to that school and develop my skills to work in Japanese animation. I can pack up, hop on a plane to Japan, and basically create one of my greatest loves.

Or, I can stay home, furiously typing up college essays and IB whatnot, applying to schools that everyone thinks I want to go to.

This sounds like an easy decision, I suppose, but I don't even think my mom (i.e. master of my life) takes the suggestion of going to learn animation seriously. She just doesn't get it. She wants me to go to a name brand school. My dad is more like "Do what you want" but damn... what do I want?

As of now, the only certainty in my future is that I will be going to Anime Expo 2007 as Kanda in his new uniform. How terrifying.

Lotsa friends, lame DJ/music, weird food... >.>; I had like nothing to do during slow songs though, 'cause I didn't really have a REAL date... XD But next year, I shall!

WOW, that was my entry for Homecoming last year on here (which was only like 10 entries back... man I'm so active on devART XD). I actually DID have a date this year and it was honestly a lot more fun than I expected it to be! He was a lot of fun to be with and I would love to go to another dance with him. But, we'll see~

We went with a group that included ~Gucchama, ~narukoko, ~sei-nammu, and ~BlackHateRedBlood among others. We all ate at Applebees and our group was ENORMOUS... like 35 people though it might have been more. Our bill was like $350. XDDD The dancing was also a lot of fun but they didn't play that many of the songs I liked and I'm pretty sure they played a few more slow songs last year than they did this year, which made me sorta disappointed (HELLO, the reason I wanted a date!). Man, I want to go to Winter Formal now. XDD I heard it's going to be at Disneyland!

On another note, D.Gray-man 95 was SO COOL. Oh Kanda, you make my heart flutter so when your clothes get ripped/burned off. <3 I'm really intrigued to see if Skin really did/didn't die and whether or not there will be a Kanrina moment when he rejoins the group.

I went to Video 94, intending to screen some stuff for Anime Club and came away with two non-anime movies. XD One was a French movie called District B13 and the other was a Japanese movies called Last Quarter.

I had stumbled across District B13 in some sites that were hailing it as a really awesome French kung-fu movie and that it had revolutionary stuff in it and whatnot. So, I was interested and decided to rent it today.

AND HOLY CRAP, WAS IT FRICKIN' AWESOME.

It tells the story of a slum section of Paris in the year 2010 called Barrio 13 (B13 for short). A man named Taha controls a small army of drug-dealing thugs and basically control B13 with it. In the beginning, Taha targets a young man named Leito (pronounced Leh-to), who has apparently ripped him off on a drug deal. Leito gets away (IN STYLE) and Taha decides to kidnap his sister Lola to get Leito to give the money back. However, Leito manages to save Lola and they drag Taha to the police station to turn him in. However, the police station betrays Leito and give Lola to Taha in order for Taha to tell his thug army to drop arms and not attack the station. Leito takes his anger out on a police officer in a very painful way. You should watch the movie just to see this. XD

Six months later, a (non-corrupt) police officer named Damien is assigned a mission that takes place inside B13 and has to do with Taha. However, he is unfamiliar with the territory and needs someone to lead him. Thus, Leito is let out of jail early and assigned to work with Damien on his mission. This is where the fun starts, so I won't give anything else away. XD;;

But holy crap, the action in this movie is like nothing I've ever seen before. It's amazing, I tell ya. From what I can tell, the actors for Damien and Leito do all their own stunts and it's just... wow. Please watch this movie! It really deserves a lot of attention. DD

As for Last Quarter, I picked it up because hyde and Kuriyama Chiaki (Battle Royale - Chigusa, Kill Bill vol. 1 - Gogo) were on the cover. XD Then I flipped the box over to see the synopsis and I was sold as I read that it was based on a manga by Yazawa Ai (NANA). And the story really sounded pretty interesting; basically a supernatural romance.

Well, I'm not going to go into the plot because it never resolves itself. Yes, in fact, it comes full circle with a strange plot that really leaves you going "...WTH?" All I'm going to say is that the main character is a girl named Mizuki who meets a strange guy named Adam, who plays a mysterious song on his guitar that she's heard before in her dreams. I'm not really sure why hyde's name or face is actually on the cover of the DVD box. He has less than 10 (BADLY-ACTED) talking scenes in the movie. He's either playing guitar or moving around, not saying anything. I really belived that hyde would be good here because he really wasn't bad in Moon Child but BOY, was I mistaken. >_>; Chiaki was very good as Mizuki but I think the strange plot and somewhat irrelevant characters (what was the point of having two middle school students acting as detectives to save Chiaki?) really undermined her nice acting.

I guess overall, the movie wasn't bad, per se, but it certainly wasn't good. It was really... anti-climatic. Some of the visuals are kinda nice (the way that the hallway lights lit up when Mizuki walked past them) and I can tell that they REALLY tried with the plot, but in the end, you just end up thinking, "OKAY... what exactly was the point of all that?" Oh well, goes to show what happens when you have high expectations.

Actually, that reminds me of a Japanese movie I've seen recently that I did like: Love Ghost. It's based on a manga by Junji Ito (Uzumaki, Gyo, AKA the freaky weird mangas I like to read XD) and having watched the movie without reading the manga, I really really enjoyed it. It was freaky and interesting but it didn't use cheap thrills to be scary. They use scenes that kind of open up on you and the more the scene unfolds, the colder you get inside... XD Wow, I'm getting scared just thinking about it. Anyway, I'd recommend Love Ghost if you wanna see something freaky, interesting, or just plain weird. XD

Eep, sorry this entry turned out so long. I like to review movies. XD

Well I made a music video for Ouran Koukou Host Club. It was lots of fun~ :] I tried to upload it at youtube but it wouldn't let me so I just uploaded for download. It's about 24MB.

It was really fun posing with ~Gucchama 'cause she's just so frickin' photogenic! She was Rodo for d.gray-man and Haruhi for Host Club and was so perfect in both costumes. She and ~sei-nammu won 2nd for Group Karaoke! :] Once I figure out how to convert the video files or just to condense them, I'll put them up on youtube. XD And just asking... does anyone know a program to convert .mov files WITHOUT a watermark or any stupid free trial restrictions? ;

Not sure when I'll be drawing again because it's more like a stress-relieving thing and I haven't actually been watching anything lately that gives me ships to fangirl over although I SHOULD draw a Host Club pic sometime. :] Ahh can't wait 'til new Avatar episodes premiere! And recently I've actually been really into Power Rangers Ninja Storm! XDD I've been downloading episodes and I don't know why, but I REALLY LIKE IT! XDD Tori/Blake OTP! XD

And just because I'm a nerd, I got a 4 in AP Chem and a 5 in AP Calc! BOoyah! I was really worried about Chem 'cause I sorta died on MC and in Calc I was sure I'd get a 4 because my Free Response was crap but both pulled through in the end! :] What a nice day!

Um... I think I'm not being very productive with the kiribans. >_>;; ~yami0204, if you're reading this, I've drawn a few drafts for yours and I really can't decide which one to color. -_-;; I will get it done... EVENTUALLY. And ~stickypelican, I don't even know what I'm drawing for you. XD;;

Ahhh... so comes a much-needed Christmas break. :] Yes... finally some quality time for me and my... Christmas break homework. >_>;; I'm thinking of possibly entering the Tokyopop manga contest but seeing as I've never completed more than three pages of any manga I've ever attempted to start, I'm not sure how I'll pull that off. >_>

And ever since break, I've been in a sort of energy-less mood... I'm not sure why but I'm just incredibly tired everyday. I sleep at 11PM and have a hard time waking up before 10AM... :/ And it makes me feel lazy. Okay, that was a lame rant. >_>; Anyway, I hope I get my energy back I guess... I sorta miss being hyper. But then I usually get this feeling around the end of the school year... it's really weird, it happens all the time. I just get really really tired of everything and I start being mean to people that I used to be able to be nice to. Like... you know those people that are REALLY GOOD people and I love them but they have some trait that really grates on your nerves and usually you can handle it but when I get this tiredness, I just can't take it and I end up saying mean things and ARGGHHh... -_-; Okay so I hope I'm not getting that. OKAY, now end of lame rant.

And... it's not like I care that much but a lot of people I know that used to like anime with me and that I could talk to them about it don't like it anymore. I'm still friends with them but I feel like we're not that close anymore because anime was like this one special link that we had and we had tons and tons of inside jokes but now it's sorta just me laughing at stuff by myself while I watch anime... by myself. :[ I'm not blaming anyone... it's just sort of sad. And in Anime Club, I actually feel like an outsider because everyone else goes there with their friends and I pretty much go alone and sit by myself. I don't know... things are changing. *shrug*

Happy Turkey Day all! XD I know I'M giving thanks to the Avatar marathon that was shown today!! DD Wow I can't believe I actually spent the whole day watching television today ahhaha. XDD Sometimes the commercials drove me CRAZY though... ><; And I'm seriously starting to worry for the future of toys. It seems that the latest thing is to give girls something that they can make or alter its appearance. I probably saw about twenty commercials, give or take, for this Cinderella vanity mirror thing. >_>; The idea is that the girl can turn on the mirror and the ghostly face of Cinderella appears in the mirror and instructs them on how to put on (fake) make-up. There was also literally a horse's head that they dub Pegasus, who is apparently Barbie's horse though the last time I checked Pegasus was a boy and belonged to Hercules, and girls can curl and change the color of Pegasus's hair. They can also put eyeshadow and other make-up on Pegasus. I don't know if it's just me, I find that it's strange that toy companies want girls to know how to apply (fake) make-up on the head of a horse. For boys, toy companies apparently think that an mp3 player is the deciding factor for a toy's popularity and every remote-controlled car that is sold now comes with an mp3 player in its trunk. The horrors of technology. And Bratz and Cabbage Patch dolls are the ugliest things I've ever seen. -_-

Buuut, I still enjoyed the Avatar marathon immensely and fell in love with Zuko all over again. :] Hurray for angsty teens! ]]> ~yume-darling http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/7110464/ http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/7110464/ Tue, 22 Nov 2005 00:14:09 PST KIRIBAN: 2999

Ahh school has been so busy recently. :[ And I rarely ever have time to draw anymore... well not really. It's like I have ideas floating in my head but my hands are too tired to pick up a pencil and actually draw it. -_-; Ahh I feel lazy now.

Oh well, maybe I'll start to get more stuff in soon. Especially those kiriban pics. >.> ]]> ~yume-darling http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/7047280/ http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/7047280/ Mon, 14 Nov 2005 16:58:49 PST KIRIBAN: 2552

Pride & Prejudice is like my favorite romance novel of ALL TIME... and I was soo happy that they were making this modernish movie version of it. It's not coming out at my local theater until the 23rd but I couldn't wait so I forced my mom to take me to Brea yesterday and watch it. ;D

It was so worth it.

If my obssession with the trailer scared anyone, that was nothing compared to the way love and adoration filled my heart as I watched the actual movie. Keira Knightley was radiant as Elizabeth and Matthew MacFayden was such an incredibly sexy Mr. Darcy. Yes, I did see the 1995 BBC version that everyone raves about is THE definitive P & P but I think Keira was a lot closer to my visualization of Lizzie than Jennifer Ehle was. Ehle was a bit too mature and Keira had the spark that I think Ehle was missing. Now for Mr. Darcy, Matthew wasn't a better Darcy, per se, but in my opinion, he was a different Darcy and I just happened to like his portrayal of Darcy better than Colin Firth's. :] All the romantic moments were timed just right and I really liked the Jane and Mr. Bingley used in the movie too. They were cast very well. The music was incredibly gorgeous with a piano melody that was a motif throughout the movie. The movie was poetic and had a wonderful pace. I loved it very much. :]

I know my Mr. Darcy is out there somewhere! XDD

Shut up, I'm not a nerd. :[ ]]> ~yume-darling http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/6986841/ http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/6986841/ Tue, 08 Nov 2005 02:07:48 PST KIRIBAN: 2552

Ahhah look at me... procrastinating on my homework at 2 in the morning by typing a journal entry, of all things. XD

So yes, Homecoming was really quite fun! Lotsa friends, lame DJ/music, weird food... >.>; I had like nothing to do during slow songs though, 'cause I didn't really have a REAL date... XD But next year, I shall!

Okay now I really need to study. X_x; ]]> ~yume-darling http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/6919066/ http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/6919066/ Mon, 31 Oct 2005 18:15:12 PST KIRIBAN: 2358
It's not random!! It's the first four numbers of the Fibonacci (I'm pretty sure I spelled it wrong) sequence... XD Luck + screenshot = one character in a setting

HALLOWEEENNNN!!! DDD Wheee I love Halloweeennn... though I can't enjoy it fully anymore due to schoolwork and my... dignity. >_>;; And I don't think people want to give candy to costumed people once they're older... XD;;

Well... it was really fun at school today!! I just wore my Hinamori cosplay costumed and I think a total of about 11 people actually knew who I was!! XDDD Most people just sorta stared... and walked away. I got a lot of nice comments on the craftsmanship but my grandma basically made the whole thing. XD;; I saw ~Gucchama dressed up as a Moogle!! ;DD She was so cuuute... And ~BlackHateRedBlood was a kitty-seme/yuke or something kinky like that... XDDD Yes, I enjoyed telling people she was a gay manwhore. ~sei-nammu was supposed to be Minnie Mouse but she wasn't... ;O TRAITOR... XD

There were a lot of people that wore parts of costumes (like a Naruto headband with casual clothes or a Harry Potter wand and no robe)... and it was stupid. :/ I wish people could get into the Halloween spirit again!!

And then afterschool I sped to Vons to buy decorations and candy for my house and then decorated my house. D I hope kids actually come... >.>; Last year like no one came, I guess 'cause my house is on top of a hill. :/

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! DD

[EDIT]

Barely any trick-or-treaters came... ;__; And I bought the candy and decorated the house and EVERYTHING... *sobs in a corner*

Show me proof and I'll draw any one character in a setting of choice.

1) Ask me any five questions and I'll answer truthfully... well as truthfully as I feel like answering them. ;]

2) d00d the Hana Yori Dango drama is SO GOOD!!! The first episode impressed me SO much. The casting is done very well and I especially like the actress for Tsukushi and Doumyouji (MATSUJUN <3). Rui is cuuute too. ;D So far, it looks VERY promising and I can't wait for the next episode!! The storyline goes at a great pace without being bogged down with flashbacks but still interesting and complex. Wahhh I love it!!

3) I need dancing lessons before I go to Homecoming. :[

4) I need to exercise more.

5) I... am boring people. >_>; ]]> ~yume-darling http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/6840429/ http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/6840429/ Sun, 23 Oct 2005 10:54:03 PDT

Claim it, people. I like being an art slave.

'Twas tagged. D:

(no one cares)

1. I have an incredibly dirty mind. It's down there in the gutter I swear... my mind is almost constantly on something that has to do with sex. *watches people slowly edge away from her* >.>;

2. I LOVE SAT CLASS... omg I LOVE IT. I don't know why but I really enjoy the feeling of asking the teacher a question and then they explain it to me and I GET IT. For some reason, it's different from school and I just enjoy it so much.

3. I love little kids. I simply adore them. Whenever I see a little kid anywhere, I feel all gooey and warm inside and I keep smiling and staring at them. My brother points out that it's really freaky. XD;

4. My fetishes are freckles and dimples. I love anyone who has freckles or dimples or both (homg marry me now). They're such a turn-on hahaha. XD

5. Things about guys that I think are attractive: when they wear gloves, the way their hands are bigger than mine, and a sense of humor. I LOVE to laugh so much... I need to marry a comedian or something.

6. I'm a hopeless romantic. ANY romantic movie, no matter how cheesy or dumb is sweet to my eyes (i.e. Just Like Heaven). XD I'm so easily touched by sweet things that guys do.

7. I like to play piano at odd hours of the night (i.e. 2 AM after I've finished my homework).

8. I daydream a lot. I spend a lot of time in class thinking of really random and weird things (like sex ahhahah XD).

9. My favorite number is 9. This is because when I was small I always thought it was really pretty and when I drew a girl I would first write a 9 and the circle part would be the face and the stroke would be the hair. XD

10. I can sometimes be (I think) really bold but other times really shy. Really confident sometimes and others really self-conscious.

11. I am actually really close to my brother despite the way he teases me. I tell him EVERYTHING, seriously. He knows every single one of my crushes.

12. I really like the girl names Ellis, Faye, and Marisol. I like the guy names James, Tracy, and Constantine.

13. I tend to have crushes on guys that I don't know or don't know very well. They also tend to be short. >.>;

14. I'm incredibly self-conscious about my body. -_-;

15. I like to do random acts of kindness. Today I ran in the middle of the street to get a shopping cart (not mine) out of the way of cars.

16. I love shoes. I can never have enough shoes. I have too many shoes. >.>;

17. I direly suck at dancing and singing. >_>

18. Whenever I take a shower, I think about all the mistakes and embarrassing moments I've ever had in my life and I always end up coming out really depressed. >.>

19. I think my voice is annoying. A lot of the things I do annoy me.

20. I love scary movies/books/games. Although I scream like a madwoman whenever I see/read/play anything scary. XD

But then when I went to another page and came back it showed -14 messages again. Weird stuff...

So I was SO hyped up about the new Avatar episode on Friday but it turns out that though it was a glittery, pretty new episode, it had some problems. >_>; I might get bludgeoned to death by people sick of hearing the Kataang-ness of the episode but SERIOUSLY, if pairings aren't so important then why did they make it so dang OBVIOUS? -__-; I was really sickened by the waffiness of parts of the script and ...where is the enemy? This was such a filler episode that made me really rather disappointed. :[ I'll admit I'm just being a raging Zutara fan here but Kataang makes such a dorky couple... >.>; I mean, at least Zutara looks good together. :]

And I must also rant about the Bleach anime... It was good at first. It really was. But then the battles started getting really really dumb. The one thing that I used to love about Bleach were the awesome battle scenes that Kubo Tite drew where the techniques and moves were so original. But apparently, the anime saw that as irrelevant. They decided to go in and make all the battles despairingly dull and as drawn out as possible with unnecessary yelling and monologues (it's worse than Kenshin, I swear). It was like this, seriously:

Ichigo: *slash and stops* I'm going to win and rescue Rukia! And you can't stop me! I'm the strongest and I can defeat anyone in my way! Didn't I tell you that you can't stop me already?! I'm telling you, I'm going to defeat you!

And then the enemy would fight and give his own little soliloquy. Honestly, they dumbed down everything so much that it was really sad. They made it seem like Ichigo really didn't learn anything from Urahara and only can fight well after he gets beaten up for the first ten minutes. It's so repetitive... Renji vs. Ichigo was barely any different from Ikkaku vs. Ichigo. -_-;;

It's really a sad thing how they've done this... but I think I'll keep watching to see more of Hitsugaya and Byakuya. :/ ]]> ~yume-darling http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/6409614/ http://yume-darling.deviantart.com/journal/6409614/ Sat, 03 Sep 2005 23:01:38 PDT

I really love my teachers though! My Illustration teacher Mr. Bob (his name is so funny!!! XDD) is nice and funny in a sarcastic way, though I usually find myself the only one laughing. >_>;; He was really helpful when I asked him questions and he tells us about his illustration jobs, which is really interesting. :] My Graphics Design teacher Ms. Kim is soooo sweet and cute. XDD You just can't help but really like her. She's funny in a ditzy way but she's really knowledgeable about her field and I learned a whole bunch today. And OMG EACH of the computers in their computer lab has its own tablet... omg. X_x If we end up using the tablet, I would be SOOOooo happy. ;D And we'll be using Illustrator!! Whoopee!!!!

Andddd Byakuya appeareeeed. ;] His voice is okay, I suppose. I don't really like the way they draw him though. :/ Many times, he looks too young. Ishida's really awesome though. His seiyuu does a great job, he's really funny. XD

Sooo now my brother is nagging me to go play SSBM: Melee with him because he's just DYING to be owned by me once again (note: my record against him is 2 - 16789617810657920). But yeah...
