A Post About Nothing.
I still have tons of homework to do before next week. Lol, I doubt I'll sleep until then. ^.^;; I shouldn't be on, but I can't resist the call of theO for long! I've got a new icon and layout. Icon- FMA, Bg- Remus Lupin, YOSH! I'm back into my normal routine of loving shonen over shojo. I scared myself for quite a while there. YuYuHakusho and Full Metal Alchemist are my turn-around craze again. I'm thinking about watching Cowboy Bebop again soon, but I don't think I'll have enough time to do that. Anyone else want to recommend a shonen manga/anime? I've been re-watching this shows for years, but I never get sick of them. It's like watching them if I've never seen them before. =^__^= Anyways, that's all for you homies! Stay cool and don't let your workloads get to ya!

Gah. Feeling very sad right now. I love otaku, I can always post my stresses. ^^;; But yeah, my family is treating me kinda crappy again. I’m really am not cut out to play mother for so many kids. It really gets to me a lot. I tell them to clean up something and they scream at me. Like yesterday, I was cleaning in the kitchen and I told Stephanie to please clean up some cat vomit that she ignored. Immediately afterwards she started screaming at the very top of her voice how much she hates me, wishes I would die, and then proceeded to walk out the door. She went missing for about two hours, we were looking for her everywhere, and she finally came home. Today, I’m feeling pretty down cause I ask the girls to please clean, naturally they haven’t. Stephanie didn’t do the laundry (we are now two loads behind, and believe me…that takes about four hours to do because our dryer sucks and we can only do half a load at a time). The girls I baby-sit are leaving today, so I tried to have as much fun as possible with them but they were complaining just as much as normal. I also got a job application. Now, I’ve had a lot of bad luck with job applications. Every time I get one, my dad makes sure that I can never turn it back in. It’s like he doesn’t want me to get a job. Now he doesn’t even take me out driving and wants me to wait. So, now I probably won’t be able to get my license, which furthers the reason I can’t get a job. Especially since he will not allow me to drive in winter. I might have to wait an entire year again. So, I got one today for some small place through a friend, I tell Elizabeth (who is cleaning the dining room, surprisingly) to please not throw it out, or to ruin it. It’s very important to me, and I am going to try extremely hard to find a different way to apply. Sure enough, she throws it in the trash, where it is wrinkled and has huge juice stains on it. Last time I got applications this very same thing happened. Believe me, I put them in safe spots, but these girls go everywhere. Even in my room. They lie and they say they don’t but it’s kind of obvious when things are moved around and sudden dishes are left there. It’s a very stupid reason to feel as sad as I do. I keep getting sad/mad over little reasons like this. Ever since my dad started that huge fight two months ago, I’ve been feeling very worthless. It’s kind of hard not to think that way if you overhear your father yelling about how worthless I am and how I’m so skinny that I’m disgusting to look at. *Sigh* That was one helluva a fight! That was the same night that Cole picked me up to go swimming with her and the guys after I begged her to help me get out of the house. My dad still hasn’t fixed the chair. I still feel so embarrassed. I didn’t want to ruin the mood and I wanted to get away from it for a bit, so I didn’t tell them what was wrong. Yeah, might be a stupid move, but by the end of it I was much more relaxed. Sad things is, the next day Cole commented on my weight unknowingly and grabbed my wrist and dangled it in front of some guys I never met. That…really made me feel like absolute shit. I’m short so I never thought of myself as that skinny, but it keeps coming up so I guess I am. I think I might go on anti-depressants again. Erin’s been helpful, but c’mon…she’s never hung out with me this much before. Her best friend is Nicole, but since she’s in her fight with Cole, I’m the only one left. It’s temporary. As much as she thinks it’s not, I know it is. I’m always the middle ground.

Anyways, uh…happy thoughts, ne? ^__^ I forgot to post up the sushi-experience for you guys! Hmm… we had California Rolls (naturally…that’s our basis), Crab, Squid, and Octopus. ^____^ Who here has had sushi? If so, what did you have and what was your opinion on it? I want to know so I am more prepared next time. Crab, tasted exactly how I knew it would. Octopus didn’t taste like much of anything. The squid was really odd. It tasted like hard wax and it was really weird to bite it. It was most defiantly fun. Afterwards, me and Erin went to her house and I brought my DDR so we played that for a little while. Oh, I got my first ‘A’ today, guys! I’m very proud of myself. ^__~

And, art update. My Harry Potter picture (featuring Remus Lupin and Sirius Black) is taking me a loooong time. I’ve been working out it about six hours a day for the past week and a half. It’s really weird trying to work with a tablet. I have no hand-eye coordination. I’m pretty disappointed with it so far, but I’ll put it up when I’m finished (not even close to it, so don’t expect it any time soon, sorry!). Same with my painting of the original anime… I just haven’t had time to work on it. Sorry! You guys make me feel so guilty =^___^= lol.

Oh, I saw ‘Loveless’. To my astonishment I liked it. I never thought in a million years would I like a somewhat-anthro anime (srry, I never saw it as original before) but I liked it. Oh, no…I’m seeing yuris, PG-rated, anthros, shojo…wow. I need to read something with a lot of blood and guts soon or I might lose my identity! LOL! I want to make a picture that will get me flamed…hm. Anyone else ever have those urges or I’m the only masochist here? Like the ‘Forgive Me God’ series. Woot! That was a helluva ride! I got so many hate-mailers it was crazy! But, I liked it. It brought dragondancer1014’s fabulous story ‘For I Have Sinned’ to life, after all! If anyone does NOT wished to be flamed, do not attempted to kill off a majorly popular bishonen. (IE: Kurama. Lmfao!) I love him, which is why I tried to kill him! Don’t you guys understand?!? No? Well it was a request at any rate. I wonder what She-Wolf has been doing. o.O Anyways, I should go. I’m not supposed to be on the cp right now. Just felt like realiving some stress. Hehe… I’m still kinda shaking, but tis okily!! ^__^ Photoshop comes with an eraser! Muahaha.

Quote of the Day: (Sorry, it’s damn long, but I couldn’t bring myself up to cutting anything, extra long quote and no attraction today. Gomen.)
“I think about life a lot.”
“Life?”
“What do we live for? Why are we here? At that time, I wanted to get back Mom’s “Ritsuka” from two years ago. When that time comes, I’ll probably disappear. That’s why there’s no point in being here now. What’s important is in the past, in memories. The future will only vanish.”
“Ritsuka-kun, you’re not the only one who will vanish. One day, everyone will disappear.”
“Do you mean death?”
“That’s right. But every moment we live disappears. I too was an elementary school student, but I can’t remember most of the things that happened then. There were photos and videos taken, but I can’t go back to that moment. In short, myself as an elementary school student has disappeared. The self in junior high too. As well as the self who was a high school student. Even the self of five minutes ago won’t come back. They’ve all vanished.”
“Then the past and our memories have no meaning?”
“I wouldn’t say they have no meaning. But the importance lies in the moment we are living in now. Each moment that you live to the fullest, until the time you disappear. It’s what we call “life”, isn’t it?”

Haven't Updated in a While, Have I? Heh.
Yup...I really should go check out other people's websites, debate about art, and actually update (long-forgotten word, isn't it?). Busy is the understatement. I'm jam packed! Whew! The progress with the homework load is going...albeit slowly. I've got Handmaid's Tale and Their Eyes were Watching God done, but that still leaves Catch 22 and Wuthering Heights (am...not look forward to that one at ALL!) Besides that, I am currently doing a request of Zabuza from Booster1411 (no, I have not forgotten, sorry it's taking a while). I still need to read those four chapters of A.P Govt and those 25 definitions (that's a really dumb assignment...I mean c'mon! We do that stuff in middle school.) Still need to work on those fifty sketches from observation as well. TT___TT Woe is me. But Erin is feeding me through my little snorkel as the trash piles up around me!

Hm, things that have been going on...Well, Erin took me to State Fair on Friday (HA! Got out of babysitting!!! Woot!). It was SO much fun. First off, we got to park on a racetrack...that's pretty cool (so easily entertained, I told you). We got in for free because she won the Scholastic Award and the State Fair award for her pointillism of Salvador Dali (for those who don't know: he's a GREAT surrealism artist. He did the 'melting clocks' painting, if any of you recall). So, anyways, Erin was invited to get in free with other people if she drew in the art gallery in front of people. So, she invited me and it turns out I was able to draw too! 8D Yay! I was more excited that she was. Nervous, of course, but I was still excited. I spent the previous day drawing an anime character out on canvas. It's an original, guys, and will come out soon after I get all my junk together and finish that request pic. Erin did oil pastels and drew from observation. (Turns out I was the lucky sitter -__- but she actually did a really good job. =^__^=). After all that we went and saw some bands we like. A local band we saw at Summerfest called 'Southbound' was there so we spent a lot of time with them. A wire sparked and they caught a speaker on fire. o.O so their break was loooong. What I was looking forward too the entire night was seeing COLLECTIVE SOUL! Woot! They were my first 'favorite band'. I was so happy. ^___^ Sorry if you guys never heard of them and/or dislike them, but my mom was pretty big into them so that's why I was so happy. I really wish I could have taken her to a concert before she died. But, my mother and I would spend a few hours a week dancing around our small little 'living room' of our town house, dancing around like maniacs. Collective Soul was just one of the bands she liked. She was big into other bands like The Beetles and artists like Cher (kinda weird to put those names next to each other o_O). Anyway, that concert kicked! We got free 'grass seats' in the high bleachers. I preferred it. We got a PERFECT view of the stage and all the people down in the front that paid...I don't think they could see anything but each other’s heads. ^___^ Very fun. Now, I'm back home and (kinda) updating....days later, but updating none-the-less!

What else? On Saturday Erin is taking me out for Sushi (holy hell...that's so cool!!!! *dies*) for my b-day (on Friday). She'll probably hate it, but it's okay. More than likely my B-Day will be depressing because the only friend I'm talking to right now is Erin. Nicole has been ditching us and I really dunno why she's doing that, but I haven't seen her more than five times this summer...sadness. Aaron, being her boyfriend, is with her more than likely. We're close, but not 'hang outside of school' close friends, so I doubt he'll be calling around. ^__~ Aubin and I have been in a really stupid, petty fight that's now lasted something close to two months (don't keep track of these things) sooo we're not talking because of differences (which in my opinion is pretty lame), and Jason I haven't talked to since he lent me Chicago (Damn good movie/play/musical, btw!). I feel bad for him; I hope he's hanging out with the rest of the guys because I know their relationships aren't really taunt. But yes, I'll be pretty alone on Friday (but that's the same for the past two years, so no biggie). The thing that really sucks on top of it all is I have school registration that day. >.< Perfect, no? LOL!

Also...my good friend (Bethany/Dragondancer1014) has updated her story based off my 'Forgive Me God' Series. She's SO COOL!!!! I think she used out-dated links tho in her story TT__TT. All well, if that doesn't work I have a deviantart site now too. (Don't worry fellow Otakus! You guys still come first!) I still have to read the new chappy, but here is a link to her story: "For I Have Sinned"
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2161081/1/
Bethany is my longest internet-friend (besides DragonRose50). Due to complications on her side, we've only been in and out of touch as of late. Her husband (Neil) returned from Iraq as a truck driver not too long a go, she was busy moving from California to Georgia, and she's settling into a completely different career. I can't believe she has time to write! (I'm so envious/star-struck by her! ^.^) Yup, well, enough of my blabbing! Thief, OUT!

   Yay!
OMFG! My Otaku Attraction suggestions has been aired! Woot!

…I’m so easily pleased… ^______^

Lol. All well, that just makes life easier for me. I love ‘The Flying Car’ though… Tiffany/Mitarai (My sister… I wonder if her account on this thing is still open o.O) won’t stop quoting it. Constantly. Hm, It’s almost getting old, but I still love it to death. ^^;;

Anyways, I pulled an all-nighter. Why, you may ask? Or you may not care…but hell I’ll tell you anyway. I’ve got tons of homework due for my A.P classes by the end of the month. I’ve still got to do…50 Sketches for A.P Studio Art, 25 Definitions and Notes for A.P Government, Chapters 1-4 Read for A.P Government, and 4 Books to read for A.P English. O.O (Don’t ask me why I capitalized everything there…I think it looked more dramatic that way. ^^;;) The four English books are Their Eyes Were Watching God, Catch 22, Wuthering Heights, and Handmaids Tale. I just finally found those books at a store last night around seven (I’ve been looking at half-price book stores forever >
So, I made my younger sister hold my new manga and art stuff hostage until I completed it.

Terrible thing is… I was FINALLY getting to the part where my favorite character comes in. (Suguru…why is it I always love the characters nobody knows!?! ><). So, yes…the urges to see how different he looked and his attitude… and… everything about him compelled me to abandon everything else. So, I made the deal with myself (and Tiffany) that I could not read any more until I completed at least half of ‘Their Eyes Were Watching God’. Needless to say, I stayed up all night until that 100 pages were done. That was around six in the morning. I read my manga… I’m at peace of mind ^_____^… and fell asleep. It is currently… uh… four in the afternoon!!! WOOT! =___= I wanna go back to bed, but I gotta finish the rest of that book. I REALLY want to draw too. I’ve gotta request I’ve started, but I’m not allowed to finish until my workload is complete.

Whaddup peeps? I'mma bit tired today. =__= I should really start my work, but I've got so many drawings to do! I now also, apparently, have to do a giant Inuyasha mural for the kids I babysit's bedroom. o_O;; I really wish they would let me get started on it. I mean, I don't like Inuyasha very much (*brandishes a knife at Inuyahsa fangirls* Keep back!), but murals take...forever. The one that I did for Prom took me and five or six other people a month and a half to do and it came out craptacular. We volunteered because we thought we could put our talents into it, but the prom commitee gave us something close to a color-by-number chart. >.< Our theme was 'Under the Tuscan Sun' and we were holding it at the Itallian Communitee Center. Well, we came up with the most beautiful ideas of I nice scenery over an Itallian City or off a balcony, etc. Nope. They told us we had to do a mountain, some grass and flowers, and a big ol' sun. That's...yeah. It kind of reminded me of those drawings you made in kindergarden. It was so boring. We had to come in before, after, and about four or five periods during school.Plus that took...five or six people trying to get one style down. This Inuyasha mural is going to kill me. x_X

Hm...the julycontest ended yesterday. I definatly know I'm not winning, but all well! ^__^ I did something at least, ne? There is only one very clear winner in my mind and that's Chaos Eidolon's picture. Honestly, I don't know why that one does not have the most votes. I mean...*look* at it! It's astounding! The one's with more votes in front of it may be good, but in honest opinion that one definatly is the best. It actually has a composition and a bg and...DETAIL! C'mon go vote for that one! Don't even look at mine, I'm ashamed of it. LOL! =^__^=

Hm...Something new...something new...Oh! My cancer check-up bill came back today. >.< They want me to go in again. Damn them for being stupid! But anyways that was my second lump-found-possibly-cancer witin the last two years. My entire family has it so I definatly know the way I'm going to die is that way. Hm...maybe I can try to go thieving or something and die with a bang before that happens...yes....*scribbles down devious plans in a handy dandy notebook* Anyways, I dunno how my dad is going to pay for that bill. It's terrible. My dad has $120 in his bank account and his girlfriend has $20. I have more money than both of them combined...but all that is in my very poor college fund. So, in reality I don't have money either! Sad thing is, with all the people in my family, groceries alone is about $200 a week. o.o We're going to STARVE!!! Well, at least they get paid next week, so I'm pretty sure we're good. My dad is quitting from work soon, he just went in for an interview. The place where he works isn't making him very happy and all the people there are dumber than nails. He's a technician, but he's extrodinarly smart. He was climbing the corporate ladder faster than anyone I've seen, but the company is just turning out to be terrible overall. I really hope he can get a better job. He's going to lose a bit of money at first, but he's not coming home happy and that's what's worrying me more than bills. He's got so many problems. I really wish he'd go to a doctor. He's got arthritis and bad knees and bad ankles, and a bad finger, and vertigo problems. Now his girlfriend has severe breathing problems and severe fluid lock-up in her ankles. She's in a grand amount of pain constantly. >__< Owww. I don't like that idea.

Besides that, I've been doing nothing but babysitting. Erin is busy because her boyfriend (Jake) is back from the army for a couple of weeks. Hafta give those lovebirds a bit of alone time, you know? ^__~ Unfortunatly for me though, that kills my options of going out. Nicole...I dunno what is up with her. She ditched me and Erin twice and she has not talked to us in a month. So, naturally...tensions rise! Dun dun dun. Dammit, she has my cool poofy hat at her house too! (I'm very obsessive over hats and vests....don't ask me why...)

Hm...back to happy thoughts. I got some manga...it's amazing 'cause as mentioned above, I cannot afford squat. It was at half-price books though, so they were extremely cheap. ^__^ I'm very happy I have some manga. Gravi 1-6, which I couldn't find anywhere...and it just popped up out of the blue! I'm taking my time with it and I could go hard-core criticsm on it right now. It's shaky at the start. Very underdeveloped with character personalities and styles. They all look the same! o.O But, I'm loving it more and more I read it. The anime kicked so much ass. I think this is one of the few times where I like the anime more than the manga (but I still love it!). Yup, that's all for now. I shall post again..uh..sometime! And I'll try my damnedest to visit sites.

   Today, I'm feeling depressed. >.< Which is really supid, and typical teenage-female-fashion. God, why couldn't I be born as an older man!?! WHY?!? LOL! ^__^;; I dunno why I'm feeling all depressed either...no, it's not a mood swing! I dunno, I've been feeling this way for the past month or so ever since this huge-old-fight with the entire family being involved. *Sigh* It was soooo embarassing that I called up Nicole (a friend), and had her come pick me up to go swimming. I was still crying when I went in the car. *Sigh* I kept my mouth shut on it tho. Thank God they still don't know the reason. ^__^ Ah, I want to rant and what-not, but I'm going to end up looking very foolish, so I dunno what I am going to do about it. Maybe it'll be better in a few weeks. ^___^ Lol.

On other notes...I am back into a Touya (YYH) and Remus (HP) phase. I keep telling people I go in and out of fads like fashion. I'll always come back to them. Anyone want to suggest any stories, or fanart, or...ANYTHING I'll be glad to look at it! ^__^ Wootness! Love them minor characters!

Anyways, I very much doubt I'll win the julycontest. I just don't have the popularity. ^____^;; It's kinda ironic that I suffer cause I'm not a popular geek..LMFAO that's such an amusing thought. =^.^=

Ah....college...I keep getting leeflets, and now it's starting to really get to me. Before, it was very black and white that I'd go off to MCAD, but for a lil while now I've started to second guess my talents in the field. I don't want anyone to comment on my art or anything right now, because this is a personal thought. Okily? ^__^ But, that world is competative as hell and being 'okay' means death. I've resolved that if I cannot get thirty votes on a single drawing that I am not going to go to art school. It sounds like I am fishing for compliments or votes, but I am honestly not trying to. If I really wanted to win the competion, for example, wouldn't I ask for over forty? Plus, the portfolio review last year when I was told by that one man from Kansas that what I was doing was not art, I've been having to really think about it. The last thing I want to hear right now is a compliment. If I knew how to shut off the comment-box I'd do it for this post...but I'm ignorent at computers, so I'll just ignore it. Lol!

Hm...that's about it. Just some random stuff to toss into the air. ^__^
