Nyerg, 5th book of Harry Potter. Just finished reading it. Can't decide whether to love or hate this book. Some of the things that happen and the way Rowling writes them just have me positively writhing with irritation. I want to go "NO, NO, NO, NO," while banging my head repleately on my desk, or a wall. But then there are lots of parts in this book that make me just grin/squeal. Slash fans are going to have one hell of a ball with this book, there are so many oppurtunities. But ARGH! The THING that happens! Abominable! And at this very moment I feel sure that millions of fangirls are working very hard to reverse/correct that THING that happened. In fact, I am embarrassed to say that I am in serious denial and am, as well, constructing alternate scenes or imagening all kinds of ways that THING can be fixed in the next book. And unfortunately I was so sure that it would be reversed that I am now convinced it won't happen. After all, why would she write the predictable thing that people would expect which is that it will be reversed. Well, I dunno, there I'll start reasoning in circles. Oh the agony that is denial! =>_>= Wished the next book was out now. Gotta reread this one again of course, at least two more times so I can absorb it properly. =^^;; I wonder how many fans Rowling has lost because of that THING?

I can see so many AU stories are popping up before my eyes because of that prophesy business. And that THING. And the slash opportunities, so many. *rantrave* Wow, I disappeared for two whole days because of this book (well and because of my friend).

Meh, now that Summer vacation is finally beggining in earnest, I'll hopefully finally get off my butt and do some real drawing. Although seeing as I STILL haven't got around to it maybe it won't happen too soon. I have inked that Jim and Will pic after Roo insisted. Nutty fangirl =^^=.

.... alright, no more, brain too fried right now cause I didn't sleep.. *eyes the book* Maybe I'll read it again now...

4:44 pm

Mwahahahaha, now that I'm finally almost out of school (lol, yeah, not YET, but ALMOST) I can start doing things again! =@_@= Wow, this last quarter sure has sucked. Lowest grades I've EVER gotten. Then again I've never slacked off this badly before. XD;; Oh well, summer's here and I still passed everything I think. =@_@= It's a good think I got such good grades on the finals... Just need to find some way to drag up my GPA again in the next year or two =^^;;.. Bah, no point in worrying about that now!

Lol, I thought I didn't do anything during all that time between my last entry and now, but then I remembered that I did manage to do a couple pics =3
An oC pic with Roo. Lotsa fun =3 although now I'm kinda regretting I decided we wouldn't color it =^^;; meh.
Doodle. Just random nameless people that I drew when I was distracting myself again. XD lol, the seme lookin guy is suppose to be trying to help his friend work up some courage to ask the girl he likes out on a date... or something, but it just looks like he's about to pull him into a rather violent kiss. Yey, my mind likes to come up with random cliche soap operas...
Painter 7 testing. Just trying to get a hang of the programs brushes and stuff. =@__@= it almost works I think, I just need to practice coloring.... a lot...
Will and Jim from SWTWC. It was going to be on the display of my final English project, but as you can see I never got around to this part =^^;;. They were going to be sitting on opposite sides of that apple tree from that bible thing with the Eden and such =^^;;;;. Yush, my theme was temptation X3 and Jim has the apple *roll*. Anyway, nothing like how I imagen they would look, but eh... I also suspect that I no longer know what a 13 year-old looks like...

myes, that's all the pics for now. Hopefully I'll have some cg's the next time I post, which will hopefully not be too long from now...

Kitteh: ...Fern Gully wasn't Disney was it? =@_@;; I coulda sworn it was WarnerBros...

Del: =@0@= STILL HAVEN'T TALKED IN AGES! =@_@;; you're probably going to be in Japan before we get to talk again... Hope you'll have access to a compy there XB just to check e-mail or something.

6:45 pm

Ephrael in faerie mode. Here his ears are shorter and his wings are butterfly-like, or something... FLY LITTLE FIRTH! THE BIG BAD FAERIE IS AFTER YOUR BOTTOM!! *is smacked soundly in the back of the head*. *cough* ...The fey-people must be running low on cloth and all the female fairies must be stealing the clothes. How else can one explaine how scantily clad the boi faeries are? *beaned*

3:38 pm

Wahahahaha, and I know it's almost here because my school production level is at it's ALL TIME LOW. And it's refusing to let be bring it up *jabs it with a pointy stick to see if it'll react*. Buh, no matter, I DON'T NEED TO DO WORK ANYWAY! *lie*. =9_9=

=>_>= I didn't get hired for the summer job, in fact, lotsa people that went to the program last year didn't get hired this year... I wonder why that is...

*dances*

I LUM FAERIES!
FAERIE BOI!!! =3 for those of you not familier with him, his name is Firth. Been thinking about attempting a short story manga about him again since I'm now out of anything to do for the summer... hm.. maybe... XD;; hahaha, planning Manga is hard.
Firth again. HE'S GOT A WOMAN'S BUILD! *points from waist down* WITH HIS GIRLIE LEG POSE AND SUCH! Omg... Oh well, He's still yummy, and I forgive him, cause he's a faerie *gets funny looks* I MEANT LITERALLY!! leave me alone =;;__;;= Didn't finish his outfit cause I liked how his torso looks..
YAOI! no, it's not a link, it's just colored to get your attention. I can't exactly post the pic here since it's... erh, rather explicit =^^;;; ... HAHAHA, I drew my first yaoi pic and it's all Ephrael's fault, cause he was like "Let me 'play' with Firth!" and I was like "No! leave the boy alone!" And he was like "pleeeeease?" and I was like "NO!" but he kept persisting and so finally I was like "Fine! I'll do a yaoi pic, but YOU and FIRTH are NOT going to be in it!" And so he pouted.. =9_9;; and then he was like "Draw Haine and Atheral! Draw Haine and Atheral!" and I was like "You're sick!" ...but I did it anyway.... =>_>= so it's all his fault... yeah... Uh, ask me for the url if you wanna see it...

*shakes fist*

Ash: yes indeed it is, cause Toooffeee~ would just sound weird (not that Tuffy doesn't, but that's besides the point). And I would never do that to a Disney-esque chara! I already said that I wouldn't, cause that would just be mean! ...And just cause I mess with my other charas doesn't mean I'm mean *chal holds up sign next to mcat's head: "She lies"*

Kitteh: XB alright, that's true, but the only reason the sequels are crappy is because the good team has moved on to creat a different movie, leaving the crappier team to do the sequel. Mouhahaha, Jim is Squishy/cute (I'm saying this about a Disney chara... that feels so strange...). *snerk* And I need to draw Tuffy again, he's too fun a chara to just let fall into obscurity. *pokes at right hand* get to work!

Ruaki: =D does that mean that yew shall draw more Hatter since the last pic you did wasn't a hit pic? *hopeful* XB ou yah, wanted to thenk yew for letting me preview syn:06 *glomp*

5:38 pm

Finished Servant of the Shard. Liked it well enough considering I know NOTHING about Drizzt or even the world this book and the others take place in, but that's alright, maybe if I have time/money I'll go hunt down the rest of her books that look potentially interesting. =3 I liked Kimmuriel. And of course the map at the beggining of the book is utterly useless, now that I look at it... =9_9= And yes, of course I would be utterly distracted by it so that (yet again) I go no contructive school work done. My grades are already not happy as it is... *has no willpower what-so-ever*

I have goodies! (must I declare it everytime? why, yes, yes I must.)
Tuffy. What? Yes that's his name. Yeah it's a weird name. >P GODDEMMIT, I can name my charas goofy names if I want to! My mind compelled me! XBB;; I've been wanting a chara named Tuffy for months now. Don't snicker at me, I can hear you... *koffs* Tuffy probably isn't his real name anyway, as he is actually a GODLING! *gets funny looks* Anyway, his cloths suck here, but there's little I can do about it without more thinking, so I'll have to come up with a better design later or something, probably... I like Tuffy, he's cute. Notice how my poses are becoming more and more stationary, without interesting arm poses? Potentially, Tuffy can be seen wandering around slummier parts of towns posing as a street-kid and occassionally letting scary icky men take him away to be sold as a slave only to take the form of that which they most fear and brutally traumatize them, and then go wander the streets again. Also, many local children think he's a ghost. He is subject to change if I can think of anything more interesting to add or redo or whatever.

Kitteh: See? no oC today *pats you*. =@_@= Isn't it ironic, that when your oC was working mine was not? *gets bricked* yeah, it wouldn't make me feel any better either if I was you =@_@;;. But yes, I feel this random urging inside me, telling me to rant about Jim and Treasure Planet, but people would start looking at me funny again, and lots of people I know are all "Disney = blah" which isn't true mostly! =o_o= *rambled*

Ruaki: *mock pouting and grumbling* shyeah, well, if it was quick you wouldn't keep missing me now would you? *dodges rotten fruit/veggies* XPPP~! I are just play X3, it has been long forgotten *huggles*. =DDD~~ HATTER! *roll about* Gyad, I wanna see the design already =;;__;;= And I doubt genericy is a word, but I know what you mean, XB even if I don't believe you *dodges more fruit/veggies*

2:49 pm

NSDfs kitteh, I want to THROTTLE YOU! *shake you* =;;___;;= you do pics too pretty, I lum all your updates! *sniff*

1:11 am

Went out and rented two movies today, one of which is Treasure Planet *hearts*. Gawd, it's just so SQUISHY, I just wanna hug all the charas! And they do animate hugs really really good, and movement, and everything... I wanna be able to do that =@_@= they make it look so easy. I also wanna raid thier studio for all the stuff they used and drew and made in the production of thier movies. And I should read Treasure Island, because I remember wanting to and then I forgot. Although I kinda don't want to either cause then it messes with the movie, or inhances *shrug*. Watching this movie reminds me of when I had a crush on Peter Pan when I was little... hnn.... =>_>= ....*sniggers* I'm a sucker. lol, I have this urge to creat a Disney-type chara, all fundamentally good and wholesome, but knowing me I'd probably do something horrible to them and end up twisting them anyway. =O_o;; aha...

XD can't wait for Roo's Treasure Planet segment in her fic now. WRITE ROO, WRITE!

doodle time! =^^;; they're all oC's
With Ash. Just a simple doodle. Her half was actually more finished before her comp died on her, but I figured she might like to have just the lines too so she could start over coloring if she wanted. I like my random pointy-eared guy.. He reminds me I have to draw Firth again...
With Del. just bust shots of Random and Atheral (who are in actuality, the same chara, if you didn't know already). Buh, must work on some outfit designs or something for him.. *goes through old stuff* I know I had one, it needs much improving though.
Rellik, with del again, obviously. *snerk* when all else fails, keep drawing bust shots. =@_@= I must be low on pose ideas, or I'm just bad at pulling them out on the spot. Kinda still like how my version of Rellik came out though, even if I had to rush cause I was going to be kicked. All the pics were done... yesterday? Yes, yesterday, towards night, sometime... =@_@;; oh yes, and Del's Rellik is infinately cooler.

Lol, I wish I could write a whole bunch of fics and not care that they're bad =@_@= but being a reader of good fics makes me feel it more when I know if I write a bad fic, since I know what I think when I encounter bad fics. I wanna write pretty, gah, but since I can't I gotta make up for it by reading... =@_@= buh, need reading materials...

Del: uuuh... TMRevolution? Buh? And I wish I could just figure out what was wrong with it that it doesn't work when we change the code in your journal, very annoying. *huggle* =D we got to oC, wanna get properly warmed up and do more real drawings with you next time.

Ruaki: *pouts at you* you didn't get online yesterday or today! At least I didn't see you if you did. I'm gonna name him Ewert unless you convince me otherwise XB cause I dunno, I get attached to weirdish names. And how is normal looking not generic? *goggles*.

Kitteh: Lol, most likely I can't, cause I have a job in the summer =@_@;; and they fire you if you miss more than three days. 'n X3 yush, I make a duplicate of the lines and then I blur that layer. =;;__;;= Sorry I wasn't much help with your oC situation *huggle*, I dun want you to feel sad. I hope you can still oC with me through your main comp sometime!

7:11 pm

On Monday, during 4th period, which ironically is Japanese class, all my hopes and dreams for the weekend were Shattered like so many fragil Christmas ornimants.... =;;___;;= *sniffs*. That is, I found out that the convention was not, in fact, on this weekend as I mistakenly thought, but on last weekend. Imagine the devistation I felt! The turmoil, as my heart and soul were Wrenched from me! *dramatic posing!*. *koff* Seriously though, I'm very disappointed. Now I'll have to either make my dad take me to Otakon again this year or wait AAAAALL the way 'til next year to go to an anime con *le sigh*.

I went to Barnes & Noble and bought SWTWC so I wouldn't have to use the library's book and so I wouldn't be afraid to mark it up a bit if I need to. I also found FAKE translated into English while I was there so I picked that up as well since I now have a crapload of money saved up and nowhere to use it. It's cute =3 and the style is pretty, except the hands, I dun like how they draw hands sometimes. =3 I think after finals week I'll go look for more books, or make my mom take me to Mitsuwa again. Mitsuuuuwaaaaa *drool*

I also checked out Servant of the Shard that Roo mentioned and I was right, I did see it before. Last time it was hardcover though so I never bought it cause it was expensive, and so I never got to read it.

Doodle of that orichara from the pic with Roo, that has decided to stick around for a bit. =P I just took the doodle and prettified it, too bad I can't do that on paper =^^;;. Lol, wau, he looks generic, =@_@= no helping that now, I still like him though. Whee, need name. *has the sudden strong urge to name him Will* =>_>= someone's been thinking about a book too long... *pointedly ignores it* Hahaha, that or Ewert! =3 I wanted to do Alice, but he said no *gets funny looks*.

Del: As you know, I have checked out your journal =D bwahaha, I love having more stuff to click on when I'm not connected that still works. Lol, XB much congratulations that you can now used the cool tabby downstairs! Mwahaha, we must celebrate with an oC session sometime! *shameless? what are you talking about?*

Kitteh: Lol, even though I have lots I don't feel like I do. Always want more, more is good. XB Yes, and much thanks for comments on the pics, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I'll talk to you more about the oC problem on Friday, yes? The next part is easier if we can talk to eachother directly.

seven-eleven XD haha

6:09 pm

Fwahaha, I'm so dead. I wasted my Saturday rearranging my bookshelf and getting rid of a whole bunch of ornimental trinkets that I really don't need and wish people would stop giving me. I no longer have any time to do homework, WHAT A SMERTY I IS! *whines and complains* (don't remind me, I know it's my fault =@__@=). =B oh well, at least I cleared off two more shelves that I can now use for more manga. XD lol, over three fourths of my shelf is dedicated to anime/manga stuff. I wish I had a way of getting rid of some of the old manga I have though. They're all in Chinese cause they came from my cousins in Taiwan, but I'm not really interested in them.. *not old enough to sell them on Ebay, wouldn't even know what to call them*. I have so many CANDLES! =@_@;;

TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY OF CHINESE SCHOOL! I'm free for the summer =;;O;;= and I have Sunday's to work now (as if that'd really help).

oh wau, it really is good to oC again. XD haha *oC whore*
Lotsa pics today! They are in order from most doodley to most kewl. The first two are all mine, I did it all, and the last three are oC pics with Roo, =D yey.
Gaara, from Naruto. =3 Just a doodlie I did while I was bored/not-working the other day. Gaara's cool, and his flashback makes me cry, even when I only understand a word-bubble here and there.
Sasuke, also from Naruto. Did this while oCing, with Roo, she was resting her hand so I messed around, yep. Sasuke is grumpy!
riku and sora, drawn with Roo. She did the squeeshee chibi sora and I did Riku's big fat face~! (I love you Riku, dun kill me).
This is a tie, between Zelgadis and Xellos from Slayers, and Hatter and his victem. *points at filename of latter pic* Look, Roo, we think alike! XD lol, I'm getting the hang of computer drawing again I think. Two full color pics in one session, vereh good. I was up til really unhealthy hours oCing XB. Lol, I got lucky, I hope that happens more often. Anyhow, in both pics, Roo draw left, me draw right. I think the blending of styles is pretty decent, but I think it's still pretty easy to tell *does simpler hair* Drawing with friends is comfy X3.

*SQUEAL* ANIME CON NEXT WEEKEND! what should I look for there?

Del: =o_o= is it just not connecting with Kitteh's or is it just very messed up? Cause if it's just Kitteh's I think we can fix it, cause I think she has the same problem I did. =3 'n thenkya for de pic comments, now get your new journal up so I can comment on your stuff!

Kitteh: Yesh I still will help, of course, I wanna oC with Kitteh too! *oC whore*. Well, Dad had some more questions, I'm guessing they have to do with finding how/where you have to adjust stuff on your main comp. He wanted to know if WinXP was professional or home edition, what kind of internet connection you have (cable?), and if the main comp is using this thing called "sharing" so that your comp can get online. =@_@;; If you don't know, I'll just tell him it's pretty much the same as our network and hope it works out okay. =D When you do come, maybe you can go to Gallery 37 with me. They usually make friends sit and be silent while the person thier with works, but since you're good at drawing and artness maybe they'll be nice and let you draw with me =D. *hand yew tissue*

Ruaki: Actually... I think I've seen that title somewhere before =o_o= (bookstore? MAYBE!). =D Chal controls cloth (<-- I used it right this time!), because I'm cool like that, and so he has wiggy skills.

5:51 pm

*magically appears!* Well apparently I've been given back access to the network again so I can update more conveniently now. It is still yet to be known if I will have Internet access on Friday, but in the meantime I have this, and I can check stuff at school after I do all my work and such.

Wheee, we're doing portraits in art class! Lol, I'm good at it cause I'm slightly narcissistic XB;;. The teacher wants us to paint it in monochrome though, much sad. Doing features in paint is kinda wiggy, I'm used to having lines, which is bad. Tomorrow, more painting! =@0@= 3 hours of it for seminar, I dunno if that's good or bad. Lotsa drawing stuff to do this week for school, cause I also want to do this comic for my chemistry project. If I can pull it off I'll definately get an A, if I can't I'm definately not getting an A. =@0@= I like the idea a lot, I just dunno if I'll be able to do it (I suck at mech).

I found a really nice book on weapons in the school library the other day too X3. It's got pretty diagrams and lots of swords and old style guns. The stuff at the end is more modern but I'm not too interested in that. Hopefully this'll help me practice drawing weapons later on when I get some time.

Speaking of art stuff =^^;;
oC with Spikey in which I like her drawing and dun much like mine XB;; I need more practice with oC again, I've lost all my abilities. She did all the coloring cause I skrewed up and drew lines on both layers XB;;
Chal with one wing made of cloth. XB;; I got lazy and stopped coloring after I did his skin and hair and such. More attempts at practicing in oC but to no avail! I like the wing idea though, cause he could do that, but I like his usual cloak more than this torn up version

I feel like reading something again...

=D ANIME CENTRAL IS THIS MONTH *wiggle*. On the 24th to the 26th XDD yee!! XB;; Too bad that it's a little late to start putting a proper costume together (unless I went as Luffy or something... hmm). I've never cosplayed before, I need to do that eventually. Lol, I wish I could meet some people there but I've yet been able to lure anybody over XP. Anyone feel like coming down to Chicago Memorial Day weekend? Anybody?

Ruaki: Cause I should have been studying for my Chinese finals instead of poking around at my oekaki XB;;. Well, bans lifted now anyway. =^_~= I like that Mogki on Riku action *stifle laugh*. You were ranting about a book in your last entry that I saw, or several books, I didn't really follow XB. Who's the author and what are the titles?

Kitteh: XD;; hahaha, being me I guess, I r sneaky 'n tricksie, and always not doing what I'm told. BTW, =D congratulations on winning first place! Was it a state wide thing? I wasn't too sure about what the contest was =o__o;;

7:36 pm

Due to reasons beyond my control my dad has disconnected me from the internet and the network as well. That means that if I'm not lucky I won't be online for at least a week. If I am, and behave myself or whatever I may just be able to get back online by Friday again. I probably won't be updating much here from now on either until I get back on the network on my comp cause I've got to go through too many hoops to update as it is. XD;; I can't even get pics off my comp to upload and such. So yeah, not gonna be online for at least a week

Ash: Lol, I dunno, I don't remember too much about the books I read. You could try Ender's Game if you want, thats one of the more recent things I've read. Lol, and yeah, I've read Anne Rice's stuff already, or most of the ones I can get my hands on anyway. I've got at least half the Vampire Chronicles on my shelf. XD Who's your favorite vampie? People tell me that Louis is whiney but he's my favorite anyway.

Ruaki: *SNERK* The pr0n theater *rolls* I love how you're so blatant about it XDD. And yes, by the end of it Jim is also about a year older than Will too *points wildy at Riku and Sora*. XD hahaha, too bad my paper can't be a compare/contrast of SWTWC and KH. Now that would be interesting. XD Will's so squishy at the end. Heck, they're both squishy. I wish we could properly talk on AIM, it'd make not spoiling the book for others that want to read it much easier =^^;;

I go now, 'fore I get it trouble.

10:58 pm

It rained just about every night this week, but all the mornings are bright and sunny. XB Oh it's so goooood, it's even thundering and stuff! Only drawback is that now the floors in the house are all sticky cause of the humidity and stuff. I lum tha raaaain! *dances* Gawd I wish it was summer right now.

5:45 pm

I have oC... AND IT WOOOORKS! *jigs* XB hahaha, just thought a couple people might like to know.

1:54 am

Earlier I was talking with Roo about night air and when I start randomly spouting prose in my head. It was "roasted night air", the kind where it's kinda warm on your senses but cool on your cheeks. X3 Coffee-bean wind maybe. Lol, well then it decided to rain and I started getting prosey again, so forgive me if I rant too long about it. It was just a light wash of rain and it stopped pretty quickly. It was that cool-wet between-spring-and-summer smell. The kind that makes you stand near the window and listen to the plit-pat of the leftover rain sneaking out of holes in your rain gutter and hitting the wet cement. A kind of tree smell, plant smell, soil smell, only cooler and more water logged and even slightly new. lol, that's not quite accurate XB but it's not storm-prickly or soggy, it's just..plit-pat, that's the only way I can describe it XB;;. And so ends my short attempt at prose. If it could someday become useful to me in some writing I could possibly do then I'll be happy.

In other news, I've managed to consume yet another book today XD;; Something Wicked This Way Comes. it wasn't too long though so it's not that suprising I got it finished. XD and look *points back up* I'm using his crazy hyphenated description word style too. The main charas really ARE like Sora and Riku XD *squish* Lol, where is that quote? *searches for it* "You'll always be with me, huh, Will?" hahaha, X3 one of those lines, or similar. What a weird and nightmarish story in some parts though. I'll have to go through it all again to find what everything means. XB He likes to utterly SATURATE his writings with metaphores and stuff, jeez.

lol, just so as to clarify, I'm not quite in a slump concerning art, just that I have a lot of work in my way which is keeping me from drawing freely.

Ruaki: XD dood, that was nearly like reading some AU KH fic or something, only this came first of course. It is kinda nuts how well they match up, XD I mean even thier eyecolor, ahaha.

Kitteh: XD lol, I guess you're right, 3 books in one week, one a night, that's pretty intense reading. And I actually did go check out the Stone Prince, but it looked like a book I needed to be in the mood for since it kinda had war and stuff in it. I'll probably go find it again sometime in the summer when I need a book. =@_@= Right now though, ever since reading the Winter King I don't wanna read anymore books with ground war mentioned. Well, if you ever have the sudden urge to just talk about school and people at school and such to me, feel free to do that!

5:44 pm

-- Don't ever touch a book that isn't school related while in school again. Got lost in another book yesterday and not only did I get nothing useful done, this morning I was completely wasted. Couldn't keep my eyes open in class at all XD;; and I sit right next to the teacher. ngdsf, I finished it before 10:00 last night so it doesn't make sense cause I know I didn't stay up... =@_@;; Oh well, my sleep debt from before must be catching up with me. Lol, I'm so disoriented when I finish reading a book cause I still think in the style. XB Or rather my mind pretends it's thinking in the style cause I know I don't think that way and it's just pretty much babbling, not making sense, but still immitating the writing style.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MYSELF? =@0@= I'm so vulnerable to my self indulgence, no will to resist at all. I shouldn't look for things to destract me when I know I have to get something done. Bah, how horrible. *getting drowzy* Maybe just having the chem book in front of me makes me sleepy...

Still nothing, I'm dry. My minds buzzing with too many things to allow me to relax and try to draw something. School work sucks. =o_o= oh yeah, I have to do a self portrait for Art homework... =@___@= ndfsdfs!!! Just grand! *bangs head on desk* now I AM frustrated, I wonder if my English grade can be salvaged....

Ruaki: XB I'm not sure how recent the stuff is allowed to get, He just said that it should be after the 1930's and then handed us a list of suggestions. Fahrenheit 451 was on that list, but I wanna look at some other stuff first. Any other titles of his you suggest?

Del: X3 lol, are you returned to the net or am I just getting special treatment *nudgenudge*? XB You should read it, and Ender's Shadow if it's in there too. *ROFL* XD SERIOUSLY? YOUR BOYFRIEND? Lol, you must be comfertable around him to allow yourself to do that XDDD. That's cute though, eeheeheeheehee XBBB.

Kitteh: XB;; haha, politics scares me, that's why I shouldn't be allowed to vote when I turn 18. Then again, maybe I'll change my mind. mrou *hugz* I'm sure I never liked anyone, not the way you do cause I don't think I can hurt that way.. but if you want to talk to me about it, through e-mail or something I'll listen. I won't know exactly how to help but I'll try if you want me to, mkay?

Ash: XD I wouldn't call me a book worm exactly, I rarely actually read, not unless I get my hands on a book I think is worth reading, and then I can't put it down. XB And I almost never remember anything from a book. And I actually like nightmares, at least the ones I have, cause after I wake up a while and I've got a light on for a bit I'm not scared anymore, so it's just kinda neat to look at the dream and see what happened if I can remember what it was about. XB But yeah, most of the dreams I get are more likely to be weird than scary. Haha, XD we must have easy lives or something.

Now I don't want you to get the impression that I'm frustrated. XB Seriously, I'm not, I just feel like doing that cause I have a headache (yes I know it wouldn't help, that's why I didn't REALLY do it.... don't gimme that funny look).

I borrowed one of the schools sci-fi books today, now it's 10:02, and I've finished the book, 324 pages... and I've got a headache... =@___@;;;; *really needs to learn how to pace herself* And this is why a book never stays with me very long. Anyway, I read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I think he's rather well known sci-fi writer, I can't remember for sure. =o_o= Lotsa people I talked to today seemed to know him anyway. XD Aha, it's like... squishy and brutal... at the same time, and the plot almost caught me by suprise til I realized there weren't a lot of pages left and there was only one way to end it... The main characters are all kids from the range of 6-14 or something, but they didn't think/act/talk that way so I ended up seeing s-ai potential in places anyway =^^;;; yeeg. And I cried, of course I cried, I cry easily when I read XD;; So very easily. Heck, I cried in Gaara's flashback and I didn't even know what they were saying (Gaara from Naruto, for those that may not know). *stares at the book funny* I wonder what kind of book the sequel is like... ou, my eyes feel like thier throbbing =@__@;;;

Suggest some good American authors that wrote after the 1930's? I need to do an english assignment connecting themes to.. wait... was it Death of a Salesman...? *wanders* =@_@= I can't remember which... I don't want to... does Orsen Scott Card count? oh wait, some one was doing this book already..

No doodles or sketchies today, sorry, just short thoughts out of my fried brains, I need people to feed me ideas, lol XD;; I can't draw my own right now, too much thinking required, or something. *wants to do fanart but can't think of a simple idea that would be good for sending into shounen jump* fwee *floats about* Good for me, now my brain is fried for the day *really really needs to learn how to pace herself*

I had my first nightmare in like...YEARS last night XD *excited?* Actually it was almost like a bad horror movie, but when I was having it it freaked me out anyway. Not much blood though, lots of violentish strange and scary deaths-by-curse-magic, but not a lot of blood. It was brought on by me sleeping in a funny position =^^;; cause I kept trying to go back to sleep that way, but they didn't go away until I rolled over.

Kitteh: XB no, not clean, that thing is smeared like mad, I erase stuff when I scan. Ndfsfd!! *hugsqueeze* =;;__;;= I don't know what to say then, just wancha not to give up! Because you're too good to give up =;;___;;=

Ruaki: XD Now this one *points at Roo* is a fangirl. Maybe more (much more) intelligible and better at picking her obsessions, but a fangirl none the less *gets bricked*. =^0^= You're great Roo. BTW *cracks whip* SYNONOMY, NOW

Del: Oh no, I couldn't ink in photoshop for crap anymore X3. I just use the Painter scratchboard tool. I think that's what it's called... it's in the pens =o_o=. XD;; The rest is just erasing with a fine solid eraser and then going over lines again until they look smooth. Coloring is more likely done in Photoshop since Painter 5.0 has no layers and 7.0 is DAMN OBNOXIOUS. *about Pat layout* XD Do it do it doitdoitdoit. =o__o;; *cannot be better than nomura* He created cloud, and Riku and Sora and a whole bunch of FF charas, it's just inconceivable.

As if it ever wasn't on my mind. Man, this always happens, I have lots to talk about but then when I go to write it "poof" all gone. =o_o= whoa, I don't think I'd have what it takes to be a manga artist. This guy does 19 pages a week, only 3 of the days are for drawing, the others are all for coming up with the story =@___@;;;; arge! I need to learn to draw faster and more often. I need to learn how to work with stories too really =^^;; ngds...

It's raining and thundering again =^^= the whole house is shaking *has a flimsy old house*. Rain in the springtime is nice though =^__^= even if it gets kinda cold from it. The rain destroyed all our peach flowers though =;;__;;= such gorgeous pink flowers all rained to peices.

RikuSora sketchie. I saw a couple doing this sort of pose (only they were standing) the other day when I went out to eat. =3 It was cute and I wanted to draw it. Uhm, I don't know if there's stuff off since I stopped paying attention after a while. XB;; I'm in such a fanart mood. I wanna do some Naruto or Shaman King fanart and send it in to Shounen Jump... nyou, but there's also this pic of Chal I wanna do. Am I weird when I fangirl? Lol, I don't know how to properly fangirl, cause squealing incoherently is only half of it. Oh yeah you've probably already seen this... but I post it anyway.

=o___o= *remembers* This year passed by so QUICK. Only May and June to go and It'll be summer vacation again. That's good, and it also freaks me out. =ToT= WHERE IS MY LIFE ALL GOING TO?? =3 I'm almost out of Chinese school though, two more weeks and I won't have to go again til next year! *victory dance* Huh... I should probably learn how to drive over the summer... XD *snerk* me driving a car, that's gonna be interesting, or scary.

Ruaki: X3 myeheh, thenks. I'm obsessive about paopu fruits, I wish they existed, I wanna eat one. XBB Roo, you're the only one being enthusiastic about my layout.

Kitteh: =@___@;; aha, sorry, uh... just pretend like the grid isn't there...? It looks like Sora's freaking out that I based a layout on Him saying holy bananas... =^^;;; I don't know exactly... 'N *WAILS* NOOOOO!! That's exactly how I DON"T want you to interpret it!!! *rollsandflails* It's completely because I'm generally inarticulate and my vocabulary is actually pretty small even if it doesn't sound/look like it! *shakes you* NOOOOOOO!!!!! *goes nuts* =;;;____;;;= nooooo, kitteeeeeeh~!

CTR: XD;;; Sorry that it didn't fit *searches for where to fix that*

Nyarharharharhar! After working on it quite a while yesterday and today I can finally bring you my new layout (as if you hadn't noticed already)! I'm pretty happy with the pictures I drew for it but that area off to the right (if you have 1024 x 786) feels a little empty.. =@0@= OH WELL, too lazy to get a bg together now that I'm this far. =P I tried to give Evie a sort of KH feel and I think the colors sort of pulled it off (even though he matches, unlike poor Riku). He doesn't have lotsa belts or buckles though so he's still slightly unmatching, but thats okay.... CHIBI PAOPU TREE!! It keeps invading my KH thoughts. XD Aren'they skuuwhishie?

You know, the number of days that I end up saying or doing the wrong things is increasing I think.

I can't believe the translations stop RIGHT BEFORE THEY INTRODUCE QUINCY ARCHER HATES YOU ISHIDA! Mizuiru amuses me... and Chad XD, he cannot resist cute things, nyahahahagya *squish heems* muh... I wish there were Bleach fics... =3 and and and, I got a new Shounen Jump today! much happeh! *cling One Peice* OMG ZORO IS SO GREAT! *spazz* And Luffy is so hyper-like and he says "ZORO!!!" with a smile that takes up half his face, but then, his smiles generally take up half his face. *roll* I luff them both! nyerg, I have to wait another month for the next issue =___=. NARUTO! *rollrollroll* I'm done now, I promise.

=o_o= two out of the three people that come here have already seen my layout... how sad...

=@__@= there was something I wanted to draw... I forgot what it was, it was really cool though... =o_o= oh yes *just remembered several ideas at once* I need to find something to write it down on *loses too many ideas*

kitteh:=o_o= huh, maybe it is Disney... =@_@= that's odd, I thought it was from Warner Bros. Gotta go check sometime. 'N thenkie for the comments on the picture XB I've felt pretty decent about my art since that pic so I think I'm out of my mini-slump now. *GLOMPHUG* =;;__;;= And I'm sorry you feel like I'm losing interest in your art. It's actually that everything is just so gorgeous I don't know what to say anymore =@_@=, cause I can only say something is gorgeous, beautiful, skillful, wonderful, glorious so many times before it becomes repetative, even if I believe so. I really do admire everything you draw so I don't want you to doubt me on that. And we should try not to let outside things get us down about our art, yah? *huggle* You're wondiferous kitteh! believe it!

Ash: Lol X3 oh, I never feel sorry for myself, I know there are lots of people worse off than me *gets shot* No, usually I just get these times where I feel like even though I'm pretty good I'm still not good enough, I can't "compete with the best" or something like that... I come out of it though, since I generally have the view that I don't have to be the best to be good, you know? XD Besides, I never was the competative type. *snerk* And don't diss your own art to make me feel better *hypocrite =^^;;;* you seriously aren't that bad, XB promising style, you know, just keep working at it!

....=^^;;; *feels dorky and corny*

Ruaki: XD jeez Roo, I think you went away just as I put this up *pokes you* I hope you get on early and see this tomorrow, lol. I wrote the entry before it was uploaded and that's why it looks like it's earlier than when you posted.
