hiz

Okay, for dinner we had spaghetti bolognese. I almost laughed and asked if we were having tinned pears as well, but since I'm the only person who's read Deathly Hallows enough to get the reference, I'm sure I'm the only person who would have recognised the humour.

:|

Anyway. I remembered that and had to tell you about it.

hi im the catzeye alchemist (literally) or you can call me shelby.would you like to be friends?

HOPEFULLY BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOU WILL SEE MY AMAZING NEW ICONS

MOST OF WHICH OF TEXT

MOST OF WHICH ARE FUNNY

ALL OF WHICH ARE AWESOME.

And also my adorable new icon.

Okay, I got the funniest idea for a little not really comic thing but sort of. It's something August would do when he was drunk. It's like the funniest mental image ever. Except it's kind of a series of mental images. But anyway. I need to draw them, because I was giggling so hard at them.

And yeah, I am totally still awake. :D

DJFSKDJFLK<M><MNFUOUOIFUOIEWR OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG BLEACH 286 OMG OMG OMG.

And that's really all I can coherently say about it.

I know, I love Quinn. He's so precious. And he's like Hagrid because he looks scary but he wouldn't hurt a fly. Except he'd chop you in half if you threatened him or August. He's kind of protective of August. Which sounds weird, but he is. Then again, he's also protective of Beatrix and Ginny. But mostly of August because as I said before Quinn is a bit paranoid that August will be attacked again. Quinn is kind of funny that way. But he's so cute! I luff him. ;-;

Okay, so um. Yeah. That was hard to read. xD Run-on sentences are so much fun to write though. I mean honestly. Ramble on about nothing forever and tack a period on to the end of it and it's joy. Yes.

I started drawing a picture illustrating when Quinn and August first met... Or rather, when August first sees Quinn and shows interest in him. Actually, and it makes August feel bad to think this because he knows it's true, he probably wouldn't have shown as much interest in Quinn as he had if Nikolas hadn't had dark hair as well. But when you go for twelve years without really seeing anyone else with that particular shade of hair you'd be curious too when you saw someone who had it. But I feel bad for Quinn in it because he looks so upset. D: Poor boy. Then again, he was pretty mercilessly teased for no reason other than of an uncommon genetic mutation, so he has a reason to look like he hates the world and everyone in it. By the way, it is really hard to draw them as kids because I have to draw them scrawnier. I can't draw scrawny very well. @_@

Anyway, uhh... I'm bored. And in less than one week I'm in Amsterdam. O JOY.

TEEHEE YOU'RE ONLINE.

Um. I'll be there earlier then. :D

And yes, phone working, but right now I seem to have misplaced it. I have a bad habit of doing that.

I'm sure I'll find it at some point, though...

Okay, honestly, you could say 'meet me in the children's section' and I'd know what you meant. ._. I've been there far too many times. But okay. I will be there. And are you wanting to just go straight home or are you going to be willing to hang out a bit? Just so I know what to expect...

I could have some movie trouble. Because, see, my dad went out and rented 300 on the way home from work... And it's only a two day rental because it's such a new movie. So I can't really bring it over. But um. I'm going to see if I can get mummy to make a thing over at Videorama by where we live (it's on the opposite side of the block from where the Starbucks is on Lovejoy... if you know where that is in relation to the apartment) so that we can rent movies and shoot there. Yes. Because you need to see 300 and Pan's Labyrinth and Boondock Saints and whatnot. They's great.

And yeah.

Ugh. Don't even remind me of my old stuff. I drew such crap. Actually, there is this one reaaaaaaally old picture you drew for me of Kitsune that I still think is adorable. It's back when Kitsune still looked like a girl, if you can imagine it. xD

THE REALLY REALLY DETAILED PICTURE THAT I KILLED MYSELF WITH AND THE FUNNY INSIDE JOKE PICTURE ARE UP ON DEVIANTART SO GO COMMENT THEM OKAY.

I may have to rent Boondock Saints as well then so you can see it because it's one of my favourite movies. It's so awesome. I would rent Casino Royale too, but since I've seen it like a billion times it's kind of wearing on me. xD;

>:D I went and commented tons of stuff because it was fun. Plus your really old stuff makes me laugh. I was looking through one of my old sketchbooks and there's a drawing of Kitsune in it that would mortify you. xDDD It's so funny.

See, I just comment about what I remember, then post it, then go back and read what I forgot. Then I post that. Then I go back and do it again until I've got it all. And sometimes I go off in a completely different direction and forget what I was supposed to be posting at all.

I have to get someone to take me to Kinokuniya soon... Preferrably before Europe, since that way I can have stuff to look at while I'm on the horrifyingly long plane rides. Blehhhhhhhh. I am NOT looking forward to that.

I am listening to Linkin Park! :D Joy. I used to hate this band. Then I read Twilight and New Moon and now I like them. Damn you, Stephenie Meyer! Damn you!

While I was at the beach I was skimboarding with this guy Brett (who was way hot but kind of an idiot), and since I could never seem to get the hang of it (it's much harder than it looks)(haha, that's what she said) I fell like a million times and since the sand was really rough I tore up my legs. Thusly, I am now covered in bandaids. I have six total. Four on one leg, two on the other. :D It was fun. But it hurt. And I later found out that the reason my right hand had been hurting was because there was this huge grain of sand lodged in it. Manda had to get her tweezers and pull it out. Except she had to dig for it because it was really in there. It hurt pretty damn bad. :D And my palm was sore for like a day afterward.

WHY YOU NOT IS ON.

Okay. I spent the time to look up German propoganda and slogans and the thing that's above the entry to Auschiwitz, which is what I needed to finish the pencil work. Yay. Done. Until I find something else to add to it, of course. Except I still need to make the wording all pretty which I neglected to do because I just wanted to get it done. I love propoganda. It's so much fun. And he has so much of it. Hehehe, you still don't know what the picture it about. xD But I realised while drawing it that I have a problem with symmetry. D: Things don't entirely match up in this. Which is kind of not good. But I still like it. And it will be so cool in colour.

So what say you? Wednesday? Possibly Thursday... But Wednesday most likely?

Okay, so, I've been on the computer for several hours and I STILL haven't done what I went on here to do, which is to look up certain phrases in German for my picture.

GODDAMMIT ADD

Hehe, Quinn and Shadow don't talk to people they don't know for the same reason then. xD Quinn feels extremely awkward in (most) social situations, mostly because he always hated them when he was younger and hasn't really been able to get over that feeling. Plus, if he sees someone or meets someone he thinks is nice or interesting or funny or whatever, he stumbles over his words and can't think of anything to say. It's kind of proof of August's patience that Quinn is so unhibited around him, because when they first met August could hardly get Quinn to say anything around him. Quinn also hates these situations because when he's embarassed he blushes, and since he's practically white it shows up pretty vividly. xD He's so cuuuuuute.

Hmm... I think Wednesday would be better since 300 comes out on DVD tomorrow and Manda is all excited to watch it, so I'll have to do that with her and she is determined to see it with me tomorrow. We've both already seen it but since it's our favourite movie and we've only seen it once and we wanted to watch it at the beach together but it wasn't out and this is a run-on sentence in a huge way. But Wednesday most likely. And since I'll probably be renting it from Blockbuster or something with my dad I can keep it with me and we can watch it at your house. :D Yayy. Maybe I can rent Pan's Labyrinth too since it's out and we can watch them both in the wee hours of the morning at your house once everyone's asleep. Yes. That would be fun.

I drew the most amazing picture ever. Ever ever. I think it's one of my favourite pictures I've ever drawn. It spawned from watching James Bond (have you seen that, by the way?), Boondock Saints, and Hannibal Rising back-to-back. It's amazing. Oh my gosh. It took, and I kid you not, at least five hours just to draw. I plan on colouring it sometime in Prismas because I can't get the right colouring blending I'd need (there will be lots of shadows in it that will be very difficult to do anyway) with Copics. Plus I trust my skill level with Prismas more. xD; I pretty much killed myself with detail. Everywhere I could add detail I did. Haha, you still don't know what the picture looks like... And I won't explain it; you'll just have to wait and see what it looks like. >:D Though feel free to use your imagination based on what it was inspired by.

GLASSES AND EYEPATCH. >:D

Umm... Try and draw August, but if he's not working out, feel free to try Shruikan... Or Quinn. Whichever's cool.

I am SO frackING HUNGRY RIGHT NOW because the last thing I ate was clam chowder at Mo's at the beach which was like TEN HOURS AGO. So I am going to eat some cereal (almost typed 'serioul') and not be hungry anymore.

This sucks that I am gone for three weeks. I have to schedule times to hang out with all my friends. You, Seri, Manda, and David are all people I need to bestow my presence upon. Blehh. Then again, either I cut my time with my friends short or I cut my time in Europe short... So I think I'll stay with the shortened friend-time, because I'm selfish. :D

And one thing to clear something up... Quinn isn't shy around everyone, just around people he doesn't know. Then he's very shy. Around August and Gedric and Ginny and Bea he's fine. But everyone else and he's like, "I'll just stand here staring at my feet while August talks to them." Because my adorable little Quinn is shyyyyy. xD He's cute. I approve of him.

Okay. Tektek.

I saw Hannible Rising while I was at the beach, which has Gaspard in it, and I was fangirling the whole time because he's so freaking cute.

Anyway. Um.

I'm really bored. :D

I forgot to add that I just ate some delicious toast.

I am going to try and get to sleep within the next hour. Good luck, me.

Question: if they don't do snail mail, what kind of mail do they do?
Well, Seresu isn't a very big place, so they all either talk face-to-face or get their friends to deliver notes to whomever they need to pass information to. Mainly it's all in person communication, though.

And I have a new one! If he/she had to leave on a trip, and they didn't know how long they'd be gone or where they might end up, and they had to be able to carry everything themself, what all would (s)he bring? (list time!)
Oh gosh. This is hard. August would probably bring:
Paper
Pens/pencils
His sword
Three of his favourite books
His boots (but he would wear them)(they're probably steel-toed and combat)
Several pairs of boxers
Pictures of his favourite people
Cute notes that Bea and Ginny and such had given him
Jeans (but he would wear them)
A first-aid kit
Needle and thread (good for sewing clothes or wounds together, and yes, August is totally tough enough to give himself stitches without anesthetic)
Currency
A blanket
Several shirts
Warm socks
A pillow
A toothbrush
Snacks (in case he gets hungry and doesn't have access to food)

I think that's it. Everything else he'd either buy, steal (although he'd rather not have to resort to that), make, or go without. Yup. Actually, I could see most of my characters bringing said things because they're pretty multi-purpose. He'd probably try and sneak a pair of Beatrix's panties in there too, but she'd probably catch him at it. (August is kind of a pervert.)

Anyway. Meh. Tired. Even though I slept until eight PM. And kind of didn't do anything until nine. I need to try and get to sleep at a reasonable hour tonight...

So I went and got a bowl of cereal because I'm not actually old enough to drink. And I actually took the time to eat all the little bread-y bits out of the Lucky Charms before eating the marshmallows. I don't think I've done that in ages. And it feels really early still even though it's almost eleven which is NOT early. But it feels like it should be. And I'm tired. But I'm trying to stay up for a bit so I can be tired at like eleven tonight and end up crashing by midnight. Because I'm off to the beach (again) this weekend, and I don't think my dad will appreciate me staying up until past dawn every day and sleeping until four, somehow. It's one of the things I do that he seems not to like so much.

Anyway. Um. I feel like doing that thing for Quinn so I think I will for lack of anything better to do.

I AM STILL AWAKE

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

WHY AM I STILL AWAKE YOU ASK

I DON'T KNOW I ANSWER

AND THEN I GIGGLE TO MYSELF FOR FIVE MINUTES

and i need a bowl of cereal/a drink.

Actually I'm going to post some pitchurs of him because he's just so damn pretty. (AND FRENCH)

[ one ]

[ two ]

[ three ]

[ four ]

[ five ]

[ six ]

[ and one more ]

HOT DAMN.

What good genes he has. He would be one hot vampire. Then again, he's Edward Cullen in my head, so uh, maybe he already is. o.o;

I was kind of planning on adding some Gaspard Ulliel icons, because (as I'm pretty sure you don't know) he's like the most beautiful boy ever in all existence pretty much. He's gorgeous.

Actually, so you can see his beauty, here are some icons.



GORGEOUS

And I should really be sleeping.

I really need to try to get to sleep some time before six-thirty because that's what time I've been going to sleep the last few days and even then only because that's what time mummy gets up. D:

And I'm going to change the icons on my page, I think...

I bet Bleach whatever chapter we're on is out so I'm going to read it while watching my movie and drinking tea okay.

Wow that's a fracken long comment.

I'm watching the Boondock Saints, which is like the best movie ever. The two brothers who are the main characters remind me of August so freaking much. Like, if August had a brother. Well, he and Quinn could pass for brothers probably, considering that Quinn and August have similar facial features (because they're both Seresans, it's just that Quinn has dark hair), and they know pretty much everything about each other. But anyway. This movie is so fracken cool. Plus the brothers know, like, a million languages and talk to each other in them when they're around people they don't want eavesdropping. And on top of that THEY'RE IRISH. I like this movie. Plus it's so funny. But it's about the two brothers hunting down people who don't abide by the law anymore and killing them in the name of God. It's so great.

Anyway. I was doing this earlier but had to leave so I'll finish it now. It's the question thing because yeah.

What do people call you? August. (It's hard to get a nickname from August...) Although he has been called blondie, but not really in Seresu, because everyone with the exception of Quinn and Beatrix and Nikolas (when he was still alive) has blonde hair. But he went to a foreign country once where most people had dark hair and they called him blondie.

What color is your hair? Blonde.

Is it natural? Yep.

How is it styled right now? He just lets it do whatever, so it's curly.

Do you have allergies? Nope.

Do you have any other medical issues? Nope. He's healthy.

Are you on medication for anything? Nope.

What are you doing tomorrow? He says he's due to go drinking. So tomorrow night he'll be bar crashing.

What are you doing this weekend? He does whatever. Probably hanging out with Ginny, Bea, Quinn, Ged, whomever. Possibly all of the above.

Do you have a job? He sort of has a lot of jobs. His favourite job was being the captain of a ship. He had so much fun with that.

What was the last thing you bought? A book Ginny wanted but couldn't find the time to pick up.

How good is your eyesight? Perfect. Lucky jerk.

What color is your mailbox? He doesn't own a mailbox.

How many windows are in your room? One, but it's a big one.

What color are your bedroom walls? The walls in his room in his own house are red with decorative gold filigree. (he loves the colours red and gold, especially together.)

What color are your sheets? White, but he switches sometimes to black.

What color is the carpet? He doesn't believe in carpet. He has dark wood floors.

Do you stalk people? He pretends to stalk people, more like. Mostly just Bea and Gwen, though.

Have you ever had a stalker? He doesn't... Think so...

What was the last thing you ate? He had an orange slice that he stole from Quinn.

Is your handwriting neat or sloppy? Surprisingly neat. I say surprisingly because he seems more the type that would have a messy sort of scrawl. But really, he has impeccable penmanship.

Are you a slob? Definitely not. He's not a neat freak, but he doesn't like messes either. More, he just puts things away in ways that make sense to him but seem completely weird to everyone else. He knows exactly where everything is, but no one else could find anything. It looks clean, though.

What do you spend a lot of money on? Books, mainly.

How many pairs of shoes do you own? He owns a few pairs of boots, some regular shoes, probably a few pairs of chucks (assuming they have chucks in Seresu, but if not we can pretend), probably some nicer shoes, and slippers which he hardly ever wears.

Do you sleep with the door open or closed? He likes it closed, mostly because then it gets really warm in his room and he likes warmth.

Do you sleep with the closet doors open or closed? Closed.

When was the last time you took a shower? He takes showers every night before bed.

What does your mom do for a living? His mother was a cook. Well, a baker. Chef? That kind of thing.

Where is your dad right now? Six feet under.

Who is the prettiest person you know? He would instantly say Beatrix, but he thinks Ginny's beautiful too.

What does your favorite shirt look like? August doesn't much like wearing shirts, but his favourite is probably the one Ginny made him when she was about eleven. She drew cute things on it.

Do you read a lot? He doesn't have as much time to read as he'd like, but he buys books all the time, so people think he reads much more often than he actually does. He does read quite a bit, though.

Do you write a lot? He's not really a writer.

What's the biggest age difference between you and someone you've dated? Two years.

What was your favorite thing to do when you were little? He liked being taught how to fight by his dad.

Would you ever shave your head? Sure, why not? It's just hair, and it grows back.

Do people tell you that you're attractive? August gets told he's attractive all the time, but he tries not to let it get to his head. (he's a hottie.)

Do you wear a lot of makeup? He doesn't... Wear makeup?

What time do you get up in the morning? He likes to sleep in. So, he gives himself as little time to get ready as he can get away with-- sometimes he's been running to work while he's got toast in his mouth, still fastening his pants or pulling on his boots. He's kind of silly like that.

How long does it take you to get ready? It usually takes him about five minutes.

Do you look a lot like people in your family? He's pretty much the spitting much the spitting image of his dad, except with his mother's blonde.

Are your parents still married? They probably would be if they were still alive.

Do you owe anyone money? He owes Quinn money for picking up the tab the last time they went drinking.

Who? See above.

What for? See above.

Do you kill bugs? He picks them up and puts them outside, except for spiders, which he uses a glass and a piece of paper instead. But not a lot of bugs live as far north as they live, so, he doesn't really have that problem very often.

Are you afraid of the dark? No, he isn't.

What are you afraid of? People he loves dying/being tortured/having bad things come to them, primarily. And spiders.

Who was the last person or people you hung out with? Beatrix.

What color is your underwear? Currently red boxers.

Do you like sports? He loves sports. They're so much fun to play.

Do you like art? Yes, he likes it.

Do you like math? He doesn't really have to use it for his job very often, so he's a bit out of practise for it.

Are your parents strict? They weren't.

What time do you have to be home? What, is he going to give himself a curfew? He likes to be home by dawn, though, mostly because it's easier to go to sleep if the sun isn't burning out your eyes.

Are you tan? Compared to other Seresans, yes, but compared to other people, he's still pale.

Piercings? No.

Tattoos? No, though he would consider getting one.

Haha, that was weird. xD It's difficult answering some of those...

Anyway. Um. I'm going to watch Trainspotting because Cris says it's good. I'm in a movie mood and I don't know why...

OOOOO i forgot thx for telling me :)

hey u have rlly cool pics

Okay. I only just saw my phone and since it doesn't alert me to missed calls like my other one did I didn't realise I had missed calls. But I'll talk to my dad and see if tonight will work... And yeah, I should have realised you were going to call, but I'm not that smart, shut up. But I'm going to get my hair done and whatnot otherwise I'd call you now. But I can't.

And I want to see those icons nurrrr.

and i know, i should have realised you would have gotten it. but i'm kind of dumb. we've been through this.

Haha. My bad. xD;;; I will call you tomorrow. I was originally going to go to my mum's house tomorrow in the morning, but my dad scheduled an appointment for me to get my hair done. he says he's going to let me get it coloured. i have warned him, however, that it costs a lot for upkeep, because you have to redo your roots every two months or so. but since the colour i'm dying it is close enough to my real colour that i could probably go longer without having to touch it up, i'm assuming it will be okay. and plus i can use the stuff i used to temporarily dye my hair in between. yes.

anyway. um. i took some advil pm so that i won't have a thing like yesterday where i can't get to sleep until eight thirty, and i took it about an hour ago, so i have probably an hour and a half until i'm completely out. but i have to take a shower because i got from going swimming about an hour ago. and i'm covered in chlorine, yuck.

and i only just realised that i haven't been pressing shift. weird.

Okay I totally slept in till forever, and only got up when my dad called me and said he was on his way home from work. Which was like four. Except I was awake for a long time in bed, kind of drifting on and off because I wanted to get up but I was so tired at the same time. Blehh.

Dude, I LOVE Grimmjaw. He's one of my favourite characters. After Shinji, Ichigo, Orihime, Matsumoto, Gin, Ukitake, and Kaien, of course, but he's still by far my favourite of the Espada. But uh, Ichigo still needs to kick his @$$. But not kill him. I think that he should persuade him to go against the Espada and try and take out as many as he could. Well, Aizen would probably find out and get angry and probably kill him with very little effort, but whatever. HOW THE HELL IS AIZEN SO STRONG. I DON'T GET IT. AND HOW IS HE GOING TO BE BEATEN. Maybe they're going to convince Voldy-Espada to turn also and kick Aizen's @$$? He was saying that there was no one alive who could defeat him... Maybe he was including Aizen? But if he wasn't, then damn. Soul Society's fracked.

Yeah, I assumed you would pronounce it Dane... But I don't know, maybe you or someone might think it was Deen or something? >>;; I don't know, better safe than sorry I guess...

Okay. I'm going to attempt sleep again, because I'm quite tired. I will set the alarm on my phone to wake me at noon, then again at one in case I fall asleep again, and then I will force myself to get up, and hopefully tonight I will have better luck trying to sleep before eight in the morning.

:D

Didn't I say I was going on Cynn Corvus? Yeah. Doing that now.

Nothing like Bleach 283 to wake you up in the morning! :DD Except I'm still tired! :DD And Nell's lisp drives me absolutely nuts! :DD But YAY ICHIGO AND ORIHIME YOU TWO ARE SO ADORABLE. They are, like, my power couple. I don't think it's ever been more important for two people in a manga to be together for the sake of my sanity. Well, with the exception of Kurogane and Fay, but seriously, Ichigo and Orihime are right up there. Ichigo had better not decide he likes Rukia, because if he does I'm going to kill him. The only person I'd let him be with other than Orihime is Grimmjaw, but they're more of my crack pair than anything. But shutting up because it's morning and I'm never coherent in the morning.

I hate insomnia.

I tried sleeping for an hour, and eventually decided that I was hungry, made a bowl of cereal, decided I wanted some music, turned on the computer again, and here I am. It's almost seven in the morning. Urgh. I need to sleep.

It's almost like I've gotten up early for once! This is cool! I miss getting up early. Because early morning is one of my favourite times of the day. I will be all nice and happy for a while, and then in about an hour or two I will suddenly be very tired and fall asleep standing pretty much. Exhaustion tends to sneak up on me like that. I'll be fine one moment and out the next. It's weird.

But now that the sun is all the way up it will be easier for me to get to sleep. I don't know why, but I cannot get to sleep if the sun is rising. But is it's risen, or down, I have no problem. It's weird.

This entire comment has been about how I can't get to sleep. How lame.

I'm going to go read stuff on Cynn Corvus because I have nothing more useful to be doing, and plus I've finished S&N so I will understand what Emily is saying yay.

Okay, I saw the collectibles for this month, and when I saw the guy holding the harp with the flowers in his hair, my first thought was, "Oh GOD. I want HIM as a collectible."

Guh. He's eye-candy if I've ever seen it.

He also reminds me of August.

Oooh, as in, answer them all? For, say, August? That would be a lot of work. @_@ But it would be fun. Although I don't think I could do any more than one person at a time.

I have pictures to draw in my head. But I really just want to colour. And I have a rather genius idea for colouring things, which struck me earlier. And I think I'm going to follow through. Because I really just want to colour things. With my prismas.

Yes, you were. xD

OH MY GOSH YOU'RE RIGHT. THIS IS BLOWING MY MIND. @_@;;

Is it bad that I saw this picture and immediately thought 'RAVEN KING WUT'?

Because I totally did.

8|

I can't figure it out. In fact, unless I figure something out right away, I will probably never figure it out, even if it's smacking me in the face. Because my brain is like that. And it's annoying.

I need to scan lots of stuff so either you get your scanner working by the time I'm at your house or we figure out how Cristian's goes. xD Because otherwise I will be in a bit of trouble. But I did my picture for that one FullmetalAlchemist18 or whomever's contest. I kind of didn't put a whole lot of work into it, and it kind of shows in comparison to other stuff that I've done, but hopefully, um, when I colour it it won't be as noticeable. :D;; Ehe.

Did I tell you Beatrix's last name is Deyn? Beatrix Deyn. It rolls off the tongue. (Deyn is pronounced Dane, like as in Great Dane.) It suits her, I think. If a last name can suit someone.

This comment has been hanging a while. I shall post it now.

Okay. If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, I did notice the first time that while you used the female pronouns I had left from Gwen and Beatrix for Shruikan, you changed them to male for Shadow and Astarael, but for Phantom, you reverted back to female. I found that very curious, but didn't remark on it. Mostly because I figured you were either giving me a clue of a very subtle nature, or you'd made a mistake, and I wasn't going to say anything in case I worked upon one and it happened to be the other. xD; But is that right?

I GOT FALLING INTO FEAR AND IT'S AMAZING YES. AND I AM IN LOVE WITH ALL THE AMAZING STICKERS IT HAS.

I finished S&N today! It was good! Except in some ways it left a little to be desired. But in other ways it was a little overwhelming. It was a curious thing. I thought it was kind of funny that the climax of the book was actually rather anticlimactic. The thing with Stephen and the gentleman was long-coming. I was like "YES GO STEPHEN YOU ARE SO COOL." Lady Pole annoyed me. She was always so angry. I mean, sure, she had a right to be, but she didn't even want Arabella to talk to Strange! What a dog. Sheesh. But I liked Arabella the more I read about her. She was cool. Oh, and I had also guessed that Vinculus was going to be the book... That was cool. And I totally got what John Uskglass was doing with Childermass. Wait. That sounds dirty. Although, I had kind of expected a little more of Uskglass himself, because he was so busy reviving Vinculus and whatnot. We didn't really get to see a whole lot of him. But that's okay.

Anyway. I could probably rant about it for a long time, because I tend to want to do that after I've finished a really good book. I need to talk about it. Preferably with someone who's read it already, but I can make do without, because I talked pretty much nonstop to my dad about it both in the car and at dinner. Mostly I was just rambling, but my dad knows my habits well enough to know when it's okay for him to nod and make appreciative noises occasionally to make me think he's listening, when in fact he's just zoning out. But it's okay. Because mostly I just need to talk after that. And I got a ton of sleep last night because I was out at midnight, which was weird, woke at two-thirty because I was thirsty, and was asleep again within five minutes. Then I woke at about two-thirty in the afternoon. And then thought about stupid things (as I tend to do for a while after waking up) until about three, then read until four-thirty. So I was in bed a long time. And after I finished I thought of the absolute best simile to finish my story. Oh. It's just perfect. I love it. You'll read it one day, no doubt, but for now I'm keeping it under wraps. ;D

And I'm going to go and read the things now. Because it's driving me nuts.

Okay. You cannot tell me something like that and then not clarify. Because chances are that if I missed something the first time I'm not going to be able to notice it again unless I know specifically what I'm looking for. So you have to tell me what it is you wanted me to notice or else it will drive me crazy.

I am giving myself a short amount of time on the computer for a break, because I have been reading all day. I am ALMOST DONE FINALLY. I have less than one hundred pages until I'm done. Let me count, actually, hold on. I have 76 pages left. I'm on 770 and there are 846 in my version. I still haven't gotten the thing about Vinculus because even though I'm good at predicting things in books usually, this book throws me. And I've also realised why I'm having such a hard time with it. I'm used to books that bring forth emotion when they are read, because the emotion is what brings my attention into it, but since S&N reads so much like a history novel, it's a bit barren when it comes to real character emotion. Actually, and this isn't saying much, the most emotional parts of the book, to me, were when Strange was talking to someone about how Arabella's drawings had more life than his own did (thus to point out the shadow of Childermass), and when he had just drunk some of the tincture (which, for the life of me, is a word I just cannot seem to wrap my mouth around when attempting to say it out loud) and seemed to step into third person, and was, again, talking about Arabella (when he first summoned the gentleman with the thistle-down hair). So while it's a very good book, and very entertaining, I wish there was more emotion to it. And I don't mean it has to be sad, but it's told very straightforwardly. There's really very little emotion at all. Not that that's particularly bad, or anything, just a little bemusing.

And by the way, if it helps at all, I'm past the part when Lascelles shot Drawlight. That surprised me, actually. I wasn't expecting it. Oh, and, another thing. I had guessed that Stephen and the gentlemen were going to use the creepy log to make a doppleganger of Arabella, but I wasn't sure how they were going to pull it off. Your question confused me a bit. xD

God I'm tired. Why am I so tired? I need to go to sleep... I'll likely fall asleep on my book. I was nodding off onto it about two hours ago, before my shower... Then I slept for a bit, took a shower to wake myself up again, and now I'm tired again. Grrr. Hallows will be a challenge, especially since I've been reading so much lately. My brain is all worn-out and short-cicuited.

Falling Into Fear is the BZG artbook. xD It apparantly has stickers and whatnot in it. And I want it really bad. And I think I shall be getting it tomorrow. And Eclipse comes out 7 August. And I want it. And they had better stock it before I have to leave, because if I don't get it for the flight, I will seriously be mad. :D

Oh my gosh. I laughed really hard at the Lockhart one. xDD I only just got why it's funny. Oh my gosh. Yay puns!

WHOA YOU'RE RIGHT. GUESS WE'RE GUNNA HAVE TO KEEP TABS ON WHOMEVER IS DADA TEACHER IN HALLOWS HUH. THEY WILL BE BIG PART OF BOOK I BET.

... Sorry. Couldn't resist. xD; But that's weird. I hadn't noticed that. And then I couldn't remember who was teacher in Goblet, and I spent like a minute thinking about it and finally remembered OH YA MOODY DUH. Because I'm having trouble thinking tonight.

I've been sort of rereading Bleach. Except not really, because I sort of just read the first couple chapters and then started skipping around. Except I read most of them. And I got up into the sixties or so before I got tired of it. Blurn. I have to get up early tomorrow for the picnic because we found out it starts at like eleven. But I'm going to see if I can convince my dad to get me Falling Into Fear before we go. I was going to see if I could get volume 3 but apparantly it's NOT OUT UNTIL AUGUST -fumes-. Oh well. I can live. I guess. Except it had better be out before the tenth so that I can get it and read it in Europe. Dammit. But at least I'll have Eclipse, Hallows, and Bizenghast to amuse me on the plane... Ehhh...

I'm so proud of myself. I know where they're all from. xD Then again, you'd be pretty hard-pressed to find a quote that I wasn't familiar with. If I weren't so drawn into S&N I think I'd reread them all... Well, I would anyway, but seeing as all my copies are strewn about in random places I don't know where they are. In fact, the only copies that I know the current location of are Goblet and Prince, so I could have difficulties. But I just got back from seeing Pheonix again. It was definitely better the second time. The first time I was so blinded by spectacle that I could hardly remember what was going on. Then again, that might have something to do with it being midnight, and Harry and the Potters being there, and the clapping and ooing at every available opportunity.

I have a picnic to attend tomorrow. And I'm sort of not looking forward to it since even though it's a family picnic, it's all extended family and I won't know anyone. Not that I have a problem talking to people I don't know (as you may be aware) but it's dreadfull dull. I don't know why no one else in my immediate family ever seems to go. It's not fun when it's just a bunch of old people I don't know. I'll just have to bring S&N and plan on reading a lot...

Read this and try to keep the excited squealing to a minimum. I know I had lots of trouble with it. I cannot wait until winter 2009/spring 2010. Wow.

Bored. Very bored. I want to make Quinn's profile. But I don't want to at the same time. But I do. But I don't. But I do. But I want to read. Urgh.

The sun hasn't risen yet. :D Let's do... Ginny.

Does she have a secret wish that she's told no one (and if so, what is it)?
She sometimes secretely wishes that she didn't have all of the responsibilities that she did, and that she could go back to being cared for by August. She was happy then. She's happy now, too, but then things were so much easier.
If she could forget one thing that happened to her in the past, what and why?
August walking in on her while she was showering wasn't nearly as mortifying for her as it was for him, seeing as she was ten, so she doesn't care so much about that memory. The thing she'd probably forget is when she was eleven, she heard noises from the loft when she woke up in the middle of the night, and since that's where August sleeps she worried he might be in trouble, and so she went upstairs to see what was wrong, and found him connected firmly at the mouth with a girl. Both their shirts were off, and the girl's bra was on the floor, and Gwen was mentally scarred for years afterward. She still teases him about it.
If she could change one thing that she did, what and why?
She wishes she had listened more closely when her mentor was breezing over the finer points of magical healing. It wasn't covered in depth, but she wishes she had at least been paying more attention.
If she could change one thing about her physical appearance, what would it be?
She wouldn't mind being a bit curvier. She's got what she calls a boy-body. She's a bit jealous of Beatrix.
What one thing would she change about her personality, given the chance?
She'd probably want to be more patient. She has very little patience. She also wishes she had some of her brother's compassion, because she's always admired that trait in him.
What one skill does she most wish she had?
She thinks she's pretty well-rounded, although she wouldn't mind having the ability to teach, since she can't do it very well.
What does she think of intimate relationships?
Hard to make, hard to keep, and quite special.
What does she consider rude above all else?
People who don't even bother to follow the simplest of niceties. She can't stand people who don't say their pleases and thank yous. It's a very small act, and so to not take the time to do so is very insulting.
What does she think of revenge?
She's somewhere between August and Quinn. She knows that getting revenge against someone who has wronged you feels great, but isn't practical.
Which of the challenges at the end of book one would she find the easiest (with his current abilities)?
The keys. She has perfect eyesight and good concentration for that kind of stuff.
Which would be the most terrifying?
Devil's Snare.
The hardest?
The troll, since she's quite willowy and while she's strong for her size, a troll could probably snap her in half without a lot of effort.
What position would she most like to play in Quidditch, assuming she had to pick one?
Seeker. Though I could see her being a chaser too.
Which house would she most likely be in?
Gryffindor most likely, but it would be close with Ravenclaw.
Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, or Drumstrang?
She could probably fit in in either Hogwarts or Beauxbatons, though she would choose Hogwarts because of its atmosphere.
If she were a witch, what might she do for a living?
Professional Quidditch player... Perhaps seeker for the Hollyhead Harpies or something. (growing up with a boy made her appreciate sports.)
What muggle job would she have, of those that actually exist in the time Potter takes place?
Probably a professional artist or photographer. Or an actress. (She was raised by August, after all...)
What Harry Potter charactere is she most like?
Ginny Weasley. Without a doubt. Though she's got a bit of Luna and Hermione in her too.

And hell, the sun is starting to rise, but let's do Beatrix to even out the group.

Does she have a secret wish that she's told no one (and if so, what is it)?
She wishes she were as secure as Quinn when it comes to hair colour, because even though it doesn't seem like it should be a big deal, they were the blunt of some nasty teasing. She still feels a bit self-conscious about it, but less so now, because it's quite obvious to her that August loves it. That makes her feel a bit better.
If she could forget one thing that happened to her in the past, what and why?
Some girls beat her up and rubbed snow in her hair because it was red when she was a little kid, and they said they wanted to make it lighter. She caught a cold because of it, and it upset her a lot. She wishes that she could forget all the teasing her hair earned her, because maybe it would make her less worried about it as an adult.
If she could change one thing that she did, what and why?
She wishes now she'd stuck up for herself a bit more back then. At least, in a way that people knew she was sticking up for herself. (you'll understand when you hear her version of revenge.)
If she could change one thing about her physical appearance, what would it be?
She's accepting of her hair colour now, but back then she would have definitely wanted to change to blonde hair.
What one thing would she change about her personality, given the chance?
She's shy around people she doesn't know. She wishes she always knew the right things to say, like August seems to.
What one skill does she most wish she had?
She's not very good at all with a sword, or hand-to-hand. She'd like to be able to defend herself a bit better.
What does she think of intimate relationships?
They can be life-savers, and she definitely values them. Especially her relationship with August.
What does she consider rude above all else?
People who are judgemental, and treat you as something you're not because of how you look. (noticing a pattern with her a Quinn?)
What does she think of revenge?
If you're going to get back at someone, it has to be done the right way. If the person you're getting back at did something really nasty, you have to be even nastier back. For instance, the girls that beat her up, Bea poisoned them. Not fatally, but enough to make them very sick for a few days. It made her feel much better about things.
Which of the challenges at the end of book one would she find the easiest (with his current abilities)?
Fluffy, since she's quite musical.
Which would be the most terrifying?
Chess.
The hardest?
The Troll.
What position would she most like to play in Quidditch, assuming she had to pick one?
Chaser or Seeker.
Which house would she most likely be in?
If it weren't for her wicked streak and love of mischief I would say probably Hufflepuff, but because of aforementioned traits, Gryffindor.
Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, or Drumstrang?
Hogwarts! Durmstrang is too gloomy, Beauxbatons too uppity.
If she were a witch, what might she do for a living?
I could see her working somewhere like Madame Malkin's, Flourish and Blotts, or Zonko's/WWW.
What muggle job would she have, of those that actually exist in the time Potter takes place?
She'd probably be a good writer, since she has an active imagination.
What Harry Potter charactere is she most like?
There's definitely Hermione in her, along with some Luna, and some Lupin.

Okay. The sun is rising. Sleeps time now.

My friend Micah just said the funniest thing ever on Myspace. Oh my gosh. I laughed so hard.

"Jocks are the gayest of them all. Seriously, if playing a nice, sweaty game of football, complete with man-on-top-of-man action, then taking a group shower, and running around the locker rooms nude, while snapping each other with towels, isn't gay, I don't want to know what is."

We were talking about the pros and cons of being a nerd, and he eventually said something like anyone who says that nerds are bad is gay. Especially jocks. Then he said that and I laughed really hard.

Okay. Auguuuust. Durr.

Does he have a secret wish that he's told no one (and if so, what is it)?
He's not really the type to have a secret wish, or anything of the sort. He's very happy with his life, and there really isn't anything he'd do to change how it is. Maybe he would wish that his parents hadn't died and left their children alone at such a young age, but at the same time he wouldn't want to wish that, because the fact that he had to care for Gwen for so long is what made them so close.
If he could forget one thing that happened to him in the past, what and why?
He's not one to want to forget anything. Each experience shapes one's character differently, and he wouldn't want to forget anything that's made him the way he is.
If he could change one thing that he did, what and why?
There's nothing major that he'd change if he could, but he did accidentally walk in on Gwen in the shower once. That was a bit awkward. He'd probably want to go back in time and remind himself to knock first. (The walls in their house are practically soundproof. If he'd been listening he probably could have heard the water going, but he wasn't really.) Likewise, he'd remind himself that Gwen wakes up at weird times during the night, and that he should not have girls over at any time that she is there, regardless of how hot they are.
If he could change one thing about his physical appearance, what would it be?
He feels a bit too tall sometimes. Seresan men are tall, but even so, he's quite lofty. So maybe he'd like to be an inch or two shorter.
What one thing would he change about his personality, given the chance?
He feels a bit overprotective sometimes. He wishes he weren't, and that he could give Gwen her space sometimes, even though he does try.
What one skill does he most wish he had?
He wishes he could draw. He draws cute little stick people, but compared to how Gwen or Beatrix draws, he feels like he's a kid again.
What does he think of intimate relationships?
If two people have an intimate relationship who care for each other, love each other, and respect each other, he thinks it can be one of the most beautiful things in the world. An intimate relationship is, of course, not constricted to lovers; he has an intimate relationship with Gwen, and Quinn. They can occur between family and friends too. Of course, his primary intimate relationship would be with him and Beatrix, but I think that goes without saying.
What does he consider rude above all else?
Besides not saying please, thank you, you're welcome, excuse me, and things of the sort, probably when someone is talking and someone else interrupts them. It shows that the second person doesn't have any regard for the first at all. It's very rude.
What does he think of revenge?
It's a very tempting notion at times, but not very practical in the real world, unfortunately.
Which of the challenges at the end of book one would he find the easiest (with his current abilities)?
Unexpectedly, he would find the logic puzzle the easiest. He can think and work under stress (because he has to be able to in his line of work), but he does much better when he has time to calm down and think about things. Plus he's good with logic puzzles like that.
Which would be the most terrifying?
Assuming he was with friends like Harry was, the chess scene. Not that he's not good at it (again, with logic puzzles), but he'd be afraid he'd have to sacrifice one of his friends to win. Especially since it's wizard's chess.
The hardest?
Probably the Devil's Snare, because his first impulse when captured is to struggle. He'd have a difficult time telling his body not to, and then on top of that, to stay calm long enough to think about a way to get out of its clutches, while he and those around him are in danger of slowly and efficiently being strangled to death by a plant. It would kill his nerves.
What position would he most like to play in Quidditch, assuming he had to pick one?
I could see him being a beater or a chaser.
Which house would he most likely be in?
Gryffindor. Definitely. Though, based on wits, he could definitely qualify as a Ravenclaw.
Hogwarts, Beauxbatons (xDDD), or Durmstrang?
Hogwarts, though he could definitely appreciate the women in Beauxbatons. And he'd probably impress them since he speak fluent French.
If he were a wizard, what might he do for a living?
I could definitely see him as an auror.
What muggle job would he have, of those that actually exist in the time Potter takes place?
MALE MODEL. Um. Being serious, he'd probably like being a fireman, because he gets to save lives and help the public. However, since he doesn't like heat very much (and fire, I hear, gets pretty hot), I could see him being an actor, since he tends to be a bit larger-than-life sometimes in the ways he portrays emotions.
What Harry Potter charactere is he most like?
He's a mix of Sirius, Dumbledore, and Ginny (yes, Ginny).

Now for Quinn since you hardly know anything about him, it would seem.

Does he have a secret wish that he's told no one (and if so, what is it)?
He wishes he hadn't been so selfish and thoughtless, and that he'd been there. (you'll know what i mean in a couple questions when i explain it.)
If he could forget one thing that happened to him in the past, what and why?
Same answer as August.
If he could change one thing that he did, what and why?
The night August was nearly killed, Quinn had taken the night off, telling his mother that he felt ill-- since she's very protective of him and all that, she made sure he was tucked securely into bed, hot soup and warm milk at the ready. However, he wasn't ill at all, and snuck out of the house to go drinking with some friends. He was about two months from his seventeenth birthday, and while it is legal in Seresu for kids his age to drink, he knew his mother wouldn't approve of him skipping Guard stuff to goof off. He proceeded to get smashed and stagger back into bed, sleeping soundly through the night without either of his parents being any the wiser. The next day he woke up with a pretty bad hangover, but he went to do whatever it is they do in the Guard anyway. He noticed that August wasn't there, but put it down to him sleeping in too long. But when August wasn't even there after lunch, he asked Gedric if he had any idea where he could be, and Gedric told him all about the happenings of the previous night. Obviously, Quinn was quite devastated, since August is Quinn's best friend. He beats himself up about it all the time, less so now than then, but he won't let himself forget it. August, of course, has no idea.
If he could change one thing about his physical appearance, what would it be?
He used to hate the fact that he had dark hair, because it made him different from the rest of Seresu, who has blonde hair. That's actually why he and Beatrix are good friends; they were both ostricised as children from their peers because they were different. Back then he would have wished for blonde hair, but now he thinks his dark hair combined with white skin and green eyes is cool and suits him much better than blonde ever could.
What one thing would he change about his personality, given the chance?
He tends to be a bit of a loner because he doesn't have a whole lot of social skills. He's very nice, but he doesn't know how to start conversations with people or how to introduce himself. Once he knows someone he's fine, but he has difficulties in social situations.
What one skill does he most wish he had?
He wishes he knew magic. He has elementary skills, but no more than is necessary to do more than the basics. He wishes he were more profficient in it. It would make certain things easier.
What does he think of intimate relationships?
He hasn't really had much experience in them, so he values the relationships he has.
What does he consider rude above all else?
People who judge others primarily because of appearance. It's not only rude, it's hurtful.
What does he think of revenge?
Satisfying.
Which of the challenges at the end of book one would he find the easiest (with his current abilities)?
Incapacitating the troll. Piece of cake.
Which would be the most terrifying?
Snape's. Quinn is very smart, but he's more street-smart than book-smart. He could probably figure it out, but it would be intimidating.
The hardest?
The keys. There would be so much movement going on at once that it would throw him off.
What position would he most like to play in Quidditch, assuming he had to pick one?
Beater. Definitely.
Which house would he most likely be in?
Gryffindor, though I could actually see him in all of them. Yes, even Slytherin, because Quinn is quite cunning and very good at lying.
Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, or Durmstrang?
Hogwarts.
If he were a wizard, what might he do for a living?
I could see him in St Mungo's, with really gored and messed-up patients. He's not squeamish at all.
What muggle job would he have, of those that actually exist in the time Potter takes place?
Again, he'd be a good doctor. He's very calm and level-headed in (most) crisis... es (I cannot figure that out), and so he'd be good with emergency room patients.
What Harry Potter charactere is he most like?
He's a bit of Sirius, Neville (more for his awkwardness in social situations that anything), and Ron.

I want to do more... Except it took me like four hours to do those because I kept getting side-tracked. xD But uh. I'll probably do more before I go to bed. Hopefully that gave you more insight to Quinn. I really love him as a character, even though he has such a small part in my story...

Yep, same thing.

You'll probably get another one, too.

... Possibly.

http://community.livejournal.com/clamp_capslock/2728.html

See? They're idiots. I totally guessed right.

Okay, my mum is going to dinner with her friend for her birthday and I'm jealous, because her friend's hot son is going to be there. But I can't go because my mum couldn't drive me out to your house afterward... And plus your mum is already on her way. D: But oh well. xD

Anyway. I haven't drawn your picture yet because I don't have any good pencils and I don't want to mess it up. So I will probably have to drawn it at your house. Using your pencil. :D

You got up before me. xDD I didn't get up until exactly two. Then I walked around for three hours downtown in five inch platform heels since I felt like killing myself. But I convinced three people I was from London. I'll tell you about that later, though...

So, uh, yeah. I have twenty five dollars with which to shop. Not a whole lot. But that's okay. I need to save ten for Harry and the Potters... And urgh, I just remembered the ticket for the movie. Mum won't be home for a bit so I may have a problem if your mum gets here first. Because I need to ask her for ten bucks. I would have forty bucks if I hadn't spent five today on refreshment... But I was really thirsty! I needed juice and chai! D:

If you're talking about the one I'm assuming you're talking about, I think it's Narcissa and Lucius. xD But yeah, Gwen and Narcissa do share some physical similarities. Blonde hair being the main one. Possibly the only one. But I'm not entirely sure. Oh wait. They're both pale. Yeah.

I have forty bucks to go shopping with... Hopefully that will be enough for whatever. Maybe I can ask mum for another ten to make it fifty. Just because. Why can I never seem to hold on to my money? I get some, and I spend it all. Usually on books. This time on clothes. And other such joys. WHY DO I SPEND EVERYTHING I GET. But it was funny, I was counting the money in my wallet/purse thing and then I remembered I had two one dollar bills in one of my pockets somewhere, so I dig around in the skirt I'm wearing, and in a back pocket I feel two bills, and I'm like, "yess, moneys" and I pull them out, expecting two bucks, and I have a ten and a five. xD Yayyy. Moneys.

I've changed my icons. Again. This time only six across instead of seven. I think I like that better. Plus it's much easier to keep track of. You'll realise what I mean by that if you ever have the insanity to want to do that kind of stuff. However, this time it only took me an hour, instead of the three it took me last time; then again, I've done it before, and once I've done something once it's easier the next time. So I zipped through this one. I had a little less than half the icons I had last time, though, so that may have had something to do with it.

Oh yeah! Mogeta! Haha! xDD

LOOK AT THESE ICONS THEN TRY TO IMAGINE MY REACTION.

HINT. IT INVOLVED LOTS OF SQUEALING.



That is a bundle of hot right there.

That's one bad thing about typing quickly. I type exactly what I think. Which is obvious seeing as I ramble on and on.

I WANTED TO BE FELIX. D: But oh my gosh. All of us in one dorm? We'd die. And by that I mean, we'd never get any sleep because we'd be being stupid all night. But yeah. Also, I wouldn't be obsessed over Shadow all the time... But I would still have a shrine to him in my closet. And I would visit it. And giggle fiendishly to myself. But I'd behave as normally as I usually would around him (not that that's saying much).

Anyway. I forget what else I was going to say. Oh nevermind. I just remembered. Umm... Yeah, that might work. Um. I'll have to call my dad and tell him what's up, and tell my mum what's up... Do you think that tomorrow or something we might be able to walk down Hawthorne and go to Red Light or something? Or anything, really? One, because of said Harry Potter stuff which I'm sure you're sick of by now, and two, I really love Hawthorne and I don't get enough opportunities to go there. We probably wouldn't be able to, when I think about it... But maybe? If it's still light out? And wait. Thinking about it... What would we do for Tuesday? Like, as in... Um. This could be a bit more difficult than I'd imagined. And we still need to buy our tickets on Fandango for Harry Potter, since I'm assuming we're catching the midnight showing. And I would really hate to get there and find it's sold out until like eight in the morning. Which I could do, but it would be annoying trying to find amusement for eight hours and night on a Tuesday/Wednesday at the age of sixteen. If we were older we could potentially hang out at a bar and pick up hot guys or something, but we're not, so there goes that option. Hmm. Maybe it would be better to stay with you Tuesday. We could go shopping then if we had to. Oh gosh. This is difficult. Then your mum could potentially take us to the show, we can get in, have oodles of fun, then maybe she could give us a ride to the show-- though it would be late, so that could be a problem. Then we can take the Max home. And stuff. Yeah. Okay. I'll have to ask mum for money for the show and shopping... And to get the ticket online... Which we have to do soon or else it might be sold out. I had to get my Pirates 3 ticket online for the night-before showing... It was funny, pretty much everyone had Fandango tickets. xD

There is a book in Powells that I want so bad. Intensely bad. It's the coolest book ever. It's The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe and it's illustrated and has a lot of extra stuff. I would totally buy it if it weren't a thousand bucks.

CALL MEEEE. I am next to the phone and I will pick up.

I just had to leave that comment first.

Ugh. I don't even care about those frackers anymore. I'm not going to give them the satisfaction of commenting back. Let them think what they will, I can't win against their combined idiocy. Or rather, our intelligence and their huge mass of stupid have left each other at a stalemate. Then again, the dozen or so of them which have involved themselves with this against the two of us really isn't fair, but obviously they're still at a disadvantage. Which doesn't quite work out, but whatever. Maybe they're doing word counts? The two of us against the dozen of them might be more evenly matched that way. We're by far more loquacious than they have proven themselves to be. I'm proving the point with this comment. This whole situation began as being amusing and continued that course for a very long time, but then it just grew to be tiring as that chick got more and more people into it. I had fun seeing how many times I could say frack in one comment to that chick, though. I was amusing myself but also trying to sound really angry at the same time. I also had fun insinuating the idiocy of everyone I commented, though.

Anyway. So. Harry and the Potters are on Tuesday. I'm thinking that maybe I could spend Monday night at your house, then Tuesday we could look for costume stuff, then we go to the show (we'd have to figure out how to get there, though, since Cristian leaves for Hawai'i tomorrow). Then after that, the movie, and then we can take the Max downtown and walk to mum's apartment and you can spend that night with us. Yes. Since it will be quite early. In the morning. I could even have mum's keys if she doesn't have any plans that night. And assuming we can go, we will most likely see my friend Ellen there, because she says she's going hopefully. She's my Harry Potter friend from Band Camp a year ago. She's way cool.

Yup. That will be fun. I'm going to make a list of costume items necessary for proper Harry Potter attire.

you keep on talking to them sooooo if you stop they will stop..............bastard

leave bmw2 alone he was never in this.......i am done soooo you guys can think you won

I know what im talking about.......

I've passed out in the shower before. That sucks. Then once I slipped and cut my foot open. Blood was everywhere. I forget what I cut it on, but there was this big gash. I ruined a few towells. It was terrible. I'm pretty sure I've fallen asleep in the shower, though I can't think of a particular instance.

Mum woke me at ten thirty this morning to go to Kells for breakfast. After I'd gone to bed at five. I was really tired. Then we went shopping. And so I couldn't go home and sleep. So I'm tired now. And I think I'm going to go to bed.

I did some stupid doodles while watching Chamber... They amuse me. :D

Robin just got shot with an arrow and they sewed him up. It's way hot. And I don't know why.

The episode I'm watching is called, "Tattoo? What tattoo?" xDD But the episode that just finished left it at a really, really terrible cliffhanger. It's awful. And I don't think we have to the next episode. DAMMIT. No, nevermind, we do. It's the season finale! :DD Oh this is exciting. I stopped watching the other episode because I remembered I'd seen it already. I really love this show.

POST THEM IN YOUR SCRAPS SO I CAN SEE THEM BECAUSE I WANT TO!~~

sdflskljammoo.

I am watching Robin Hood. This is such a great show. All the guys are so hot. Robin especially. Except I think he could stand to trim his goatee just a little bit. But it works for him. It makes him look rugged. But there's another one of the merry men who's to die for. Guh. He's gorgeous. And Maid Marian is really cool. She's teaching herself to handle a sword, and she totally owned this guy who threw her over his shoulder.

Movie is over. SHOWER TIME~~

I know, I hate him too. That's why Lucius needs to stop behaving like him.

We should see OotP in IMAX 3-D at some point. Because it's Harry Potter, it's IMAX, and it's 3-D. I hope we get special Harry Potter glasses in memory of the occassion. Assuming it's that kind of 3-D. Which it probably isn't, but I can dream.

Dear Lucius,

You're looking splendid this evening, with your little velvet hair ribbon and your aristocratic black leather gloves. However, you're beginning to look a bit metro, and I just want to warn you not to take the fashion thing too far, because you're reminding me a bit of Mr Drawlight.

With greatest admiration,

Silverfox

PS Not that I mind, though.

Haha. No one else is commenting anymore. We are victorious!

It's so weird, watching this part, knowing what Tom was already doing by the time he was sixteen... Crazy.

I JUST REALISED SOMETHING. In the book it says that Tom Riddle didn't look a day over sixteen. However, since this took place on 13th June, Riddle would have been sixteen and a half, since his birthday is 31st December.

Okay. That wasn't an important revelation. Just something I was thinking about.

TOM RIDDLE IS HOT.

"Hello, Harry Potter. My name is Tom Riddle."

That part gives me the willies. xD

I think there is a giant bowl of chex mix on the Slytherin common room table. I quite honestly don't know what else it could be.

I know. It's quite distressing.

... Not. I've got Harry Potter on. I'm a happy as a Frenchman who'se just invented self-removing trousers!

wow shows wut u know u guys said u never met how do you know shes not just lied to you

Not just lied to her?... The last thing I told her was that I was watching Harry Potter on the telly. That's hardly anything to lie about.

LEAVE LITTLETWO35 ALONE......or i just miht have to kill you and you HE/SHE friend

I AM WATCHING CHAMBER OF SECRETS ON THE TELLY

AND IT'S GOT STUFF FROM ORDER OF THE PHEONIX

AND OLIVER WOOD :''DDDDDD

Plus there's one guy on the Slytherin Quidditch team who looks sort of like how I imagine McClaggan. And the guy who I think played Terence Higgs (seeker before Draco) in Philosopher's Stone I think is still on the team, and it's funny beause he doesn't look like he's happy about Draco being on the team. xDD I love watching the other characters in group scenes because it sets the good actors apart from the mediocre. The ones who have clear, defined characters, especially if they don't have any lines, are the best actors, in my opinion. Am I the only one who finds it curious that the year there are people being petrified, Professor Sprout just happens to be stocked with mandrakes? Very suspicious, especially since it apparantly takes a whole school year for them to mature, and the first attack wasn't for several months after the beginning of the school year. Haha, I have it paused (I love TiVO) on the page in Moste Potente Potions where it describes the polyjuice potion. I'm impressed. They didn't just BS it. It's quite well done. They even have the shredded boomslang skin and '1 pinchof powdered horn of bicorn (lunar extracted)'. Heehee.

Enough nerding, although I will be seeing acromantulas in a bit and I will undoubtedly scream because I always scream at that one part in this movie.

I know. I'm exhausted. But kind of disappointed at the same time. It was helping pass my time.

not ture i just dont want to hear you stupid vocie anymore soooo stop talking to me cause nobody cares anymore

I'm being nasty. >:D It makes me feel so happy to be a total dog to an annoying little girl I don't even know.

i know i do have them at school and alot of places soooo dont be telling me that cause i know that you have no real friend or just mabe one and i dont know why you call her a friend........

I'm a little past the headache phase. I think I need some advil. Or some vodka. Either works.

They're no fun anymore. I'm disappointed, really. They aren't good arguers at all.

I know what you mean. It's such a difficult decision to make.

It makes me want to revive Albert Einstein and have him explain the theory of relativity to me. Or to bang my head repeatedly into a wall. I haven't decided which.

over my dead body

We could do that! :D

I know. This has become pointless. But it's still a lot of fun.

i still say you should hook up

are you two related cus if not you should hook up and bother eachother

I'm kind of glad for that. I can only keep it going so long as her pride remains only bruised. I have to completely shatter it to gain any satisfaction from this at all.

I know. I'm afraid I'll begin drooling and asking for mashed peas any moment now.

i dont agree with her anytime get that threw your head

I'm beginning to grow annoyed with them. Their stupidity is honestly astounding. I didn't know idiocy could sink this low. You've probably noticed this already, though, because my responses to them have become increasingly dogier. :D

i dont think sooooo i can mange on my on there just trying to help

leave my friends alone and out of this all there trying to do is help me

She can't accept her own demise. Then again, she is but an immature little girl, so I s'pose I could be lenient.

fried not i was just talking to them soooo stay out of our bussness

What is fried? I didn't know we were talking about food ...

I find the whole situation dreadfully amusing, really. I don't think I've had this much fun on FAC in months!

We are so evil! xDDD

I would have so much fun arguing with myself! What's-her-face doesn't seem to get the whole concept of an amusing argument at all. It's really very disappointing.

SHUT THE HELL UP WOULD YOU

I am having such a grand day. These little tiffs I've stirred make me so delighted.

stop talking to me

you know that you called silverfox a girl right

SHE CALLS ME A GIRL FOR A REASON.

if it does not offned then why are you making a big deal out of it

no but you guys now how to be a freak and gay

silverfox is the LOSER if you did not notice.......

Heehee. C: Loser. I haven't been called a loser with intent to actually harm me since primary school!

Yeah, I've read that. xDD I'm going to have to draw the whole cast of this little comic in full outfit now, I think.

There was more I was going to say, I think. I forget now, though.

I do not see them yet.

-_-

that made me all giggly

HERE IS TEH FUNNY.

;D ;D ;D

I never cease to glean enjoyment from terrorising those inferior to me. :D

I'm just sorry i offended you!

yo wusnt talkin to ya=)

I love your art. ^_^

What about that HP countdown thingy? With the million people on it? With dates still from June? xD What ever happened with that?

I still need to draw your present. DDx But I don't have any pencils here besides crappy ones so it makes the drawing thing a little more difficult. I think I know what I'm going to draw though so that makes it easier. Yep.

I'll see if mum's off the phone yet... Even though I'd have like twenty minutes to talk... Maybe I should just call when I get back. Which will be like, nine-ish probably. xD; But um. Call me at nine if I haven't called you yet. Or wait. If you were having trouble getting in touch with mum then I guess I will have to call you... I'll call you at nine-ish then. Whenever we're back from Bombay.

I'm sorry that's what my friends call it. (my friends are dorks) It's an inside joke! i guess i should not have put it on there...but its off now.

Well you can't get Pip from Kelsey either. xDD Um. I don't know any names that you could get Pip from. Besides I want to be Felix. Felix is a cool name. But yes, keep my last name because I love my last name. Beatrix's last name... Um... I don't know if I've ever figured one out. xD; I'll have to get back to you on that...

I'm going to Bombay for mum's birthday in about an hour, and right now she's on her phone, but I'll try and call you as soon as she's off.

Um. Yes. I forget what else I was going to say. I'm kind of tired. Well, considering I got up around eleven and went to sleep about five thirty, I'd say it's a bit understandable, but eh. Blehh. Did I tell you I drew August in a Scottish outfit? It was mostly an excuse to draw him in a skirt. A really, really short skirt. He pulls it off quite nicely, though. He has nice long legs. Except one leg is kind of wonky so don't look at it once you see it. I couldn't get it to go right. But his skirt won't blow up in a gust of wind (in the front, at least) because he's wearing a sporran. So no worries. He's also got bagpipes on, but since I don't believe in references it's a bit off. We'll pretend that it's a special kind of bagpipe. >_>;

Yep.

Your a very angry person aren't you? ^_^ But i don't have a problem with it i even have gay friends. I'm just uncomfortable drawing it. Why? i'm not really sure. sorry to have angered you.

i am doing a contest entry if you are intrested look at my profile until you get to the glitter words contest entry thanks,

~Kab

Okay, so, I drew the sad picture in coloured pencil so it's messy and scribbley, but I still like it. It's sad. I might explain it to you, assuming I can find a spoiler-free way to tell you what's going on. I mean, I can tell you what's going on, but the backstory is what makes it meaningful. And blehh. But it's sad. Because I know the backstory and that is what makes it depressing. See, I sympathise with Teacup. Did you know that he real name isn't Koryuu? She changed it. Fun fact. Oh, yeah, because the people in it are Teacup and her brother. Who I... Still don't have a name for. Because I'm kind of an idiot. But it's very ironic, the whole situation, for reasons I can't say. :D

Ohhhhh that would be so AWESOME. I could help think of plots! And stuff! And maybe and maybe and maybe I could draw a chapter heading! Because it would be fun! Only one, though, since I have no follow-through! But that's okay! Um. So. Name. Um... I'm thinking I kind of want to go with something like Felix, because I like that name, and since it's a boy's name it would be more understandable to go by Pip! Yes! :D Or not. Whatever. I'm excited about the prospect though yayyy.

It's getting light out. Goddammit. See what I mean? I'm tired at like eleven but I stay up all night anyway. Pfff. Blehh. And I'll look for the videos again tomorrow... I'll hopefully be able to find them again...

I have a picture in my head that I want to draw. And it would be kind of sad. Even though you don't know the gesture behind it. But it would be sad anyway. :D Why do I get ideas for sad things when I'm in a good mood? I was cackling like mad a few minutes ago! I've been watching funny Bleach dubs. They're very funny. Aizen was watching Legally Blonde. And Ulqui wouldn't stop saying 'trash'. He said it like a million times walking through a hall, and he was the only one in it. xDD

Anyway. I have to go draw now.

Watch until 2:18... Funniest joke ever.

Anyway. Yes. I want to draw, but at the same time I don't want to, except I do, but I don't. Because I'm lazy. And for a second I didn't know what to draw for your birthday but then I got to brainstorming and like ten seconds later I had a good idea. Because my brain works like that.

I'm bored too. I was thinking about calling about an hour ago, except I don't know where mum's phone is and I didn't want to wake up everyone at your house. Although surprisingly I've been getting up before noon the past couple of days. I've been going to bed earlier because I'm a pansy. Except it actually is nice to get a good night's sleep... At night. Like here, I just yawned. I'm tired! I mean, I can stay up late if I have the stimulus, but if I'm just sitting around I grow quite tired quite quickly. Rather annoying, really.

Okay, is it weird for me to like Lucifer? Because I do really like him. He's arrogant and vain and egotistical but he's really cool. In a weird way. Maybe it's like being fond of all of your children regardless of how stupid they are or something. Except I really don't like Crimson at all. He's a jerk. He's more than a jerk. And he's scary. If I were in the same room as him I'd run from it at the soonest available opportunity, which would hopefully be immediately. :D

But anyway. Um. I forget what else I was going to say. I think that for my mother's birthday I'm going to draw her a picture of a really hot guy. Our interests surprisingly similar, I know.

Yes... I'll see what I can do to hijack it. Because we NEED to see it opening night. And I'd really, really like to be dressed up, so we have to save time to look for costume stuff. There's a costume store somewhere I forget where but my dad knows so it's okay that sells... Costume stuff (surprisingly, i know!) and so I was thinking that we could look for something there, just to see if they potentially have Potter stuff. They probably won't but I'd rather look and be disappointed than not look and wonder. But anyway. Then we can go to Buffalo Exchange or Red Light or something to see if they have stuff. If worse comes to worst then we can improvise and make do. But I'd rather look. Yes. Even though I don't think we'll really find much. But also we can go to craft stores and shoot and find red and gold ribbon (since i'm assuming we'd both be gryffindors...) and alter some clothing. I have a grey sweat I could layer over a shirt, but it's cashmere and I'd really rather not sew into it... But if I have to, I can always take out the stitches later. And then we can find skirts or something and put ribbon on them. And then we'd need plain white collared shirts to go underneath. And tights and shoes. Which I'm sure we have. I think we should wear chucks or something because it would be funny. And not match. And then we can either wear cloaks or go without, depending on the weather... If our costumes are good enough we might not need them, and I have a feeling it will be hot. And then if we want to be nerds we can find hats and wands. Although I doubt we could wear our hats during the movie, seeing as it isn't proper movie theatre etiquite... Unless the seats were situated the way where the person's head in the seat in front of you is practically at your feet. Then we could wear them. And we have to have wands because otherwise how could we possibly do magic? In Harry Potter world at least.

Totally rambled right there. I have a habit of doing that. I'll try and call you tomorrow... Because we should hang out for a few days before the movie for said preparations. And such.

Oops. I totally left this hanging forever. I was watching Blackadder on YouTube... And Reefer Madness songs. My bad.

Nope, Lucifer isn't bisexual. He's pansexual. Which basically means he'll do anyone. Well, I guess what would be more fitting is beauty-sexual, because he'd do anyone so long as they were attractive. If he sees someone he thinks is hot, gender doesn't matter. He's kind of that way.

Yes, I didn't think that Shruikan would let Beatrix touch his wings, hence the last sentence. She'd want to, but she would respect Shruikan and not. She might be tempted from time to time but she would refrain. I like Beatrix. She's so cute. I also like how August describes her in my head. He says, "she's a very charming, polite, kind, demure young woman with a wicked streak a mile wide." And by that he means that she usually behaves very sweetly, but she's actually mischievous and tricky. For instance, August did something that annoyed her, and the next morning she made him coffee and left a note for him saying she was out somewhere; when he took a sip he promptly spat it out because she had dumped salt in it. (August hates salt.) He then realised that she had also mixed salt into all of the coffee he had left. And if August is addicted to anything, it's coffee. Or rather, he's addicted to the caffiene, because he has a hard time getting going in the morning without it. So he has to wait an hour, curled on the chaise, for Beatrix to get back. When she did she was all smiles because that's how she gets back at people. She's kind of scary in that respect because August says he could imagine her with a broad, delighted smile on her face as she gunned someone down. But she's not mean. She had gone out to buy August more coffee since she ruined what he had.

Fun facts are aplenty tonight, it would seem.

Tomorrow I need to see if Powell's has BZG3 stocked. Something tells me they won't. But I want to check anyway just in case.

Tomorrow is also mummy's birthday. I can't believe how close it is Deathly Hallows. The subjects seem unrelated I know. But I was thinking how it's July. And there are like. What. Fifteen days or something. Two fracken weeks! DDDD: Do not like! Do not like!

I'm going to do a bunch of people because I'm bored and I feel like it. First, Beatrix.

Tea or coffee?
Tea, with cream and sugar. Cream, at the very least.
favourite subject in school?
Something like creative writing or art.
Thoughts on poaching?
Bad. Poachers should be shot, in her opinion.
If she were to dye her hair, what colour?
White. Because it would look so different. Or green.
Colour contacts?
She wouldn't do a colour; more like, she'd get ones that made her puils look like slits.
What does she think will happen to her in the future?
She doesn't know. She's more of a 'one-day-at-a-time' type of person.
If she were dropped on a desert island with everything necesary to survival, and could chuse one non-crucial-to-survival item to bring with him, what would she bring?
Something like a signaling device to let people know where she was. Or, um, August.
Favourite mythological creature?
She would like kneazles. I could imagine her owning one.
Least favourite?
Something stupid like a flobberworm. (shaddup. it so counts as a mythological creature.) (heh, stole from August's)
If any, what wildlife does he like to observe?
She likes birds, so probably birds. But she's not really a wildlife person.
Favourite place he's travelled?
Paris or London.
Knowing what YOU currently know about the following persons, how would he first react were he to run into ...

Shadow?
She'd like him, I'd imagine.
the Phantom?
He's a bit mysterious. She'd not as patient as August and so she'd probably get annoyed if he were all smoke and mirrors.
Shruikan?
She would definitely like Shruikan, because he's generally awesome. And she would probably enjoy petting his wings, supposing he'd let her. Plus he reminds her of August, which she enjoys.
Astarael?
She would like him for the same reasons August would like him, but also because Astarael is a little more like her, probably, personality-wise.
Psyn?
She'd have a certain amount of empathy and/or pity for him, and thus her tolerance level would rise sufficiently.
Teacup?
They'd get along when Teacup wasn't emoing her brains out. But if she knew why Teacup was so emo she'd be very sympathetic.
Mr Strange?
She would probably like him. (Keep in mind that I'm still early in the book and so what I've read of Strange so far makes me like him... Opinion may change later, mind you.)
Sirius Black?
She'd like his mischievous streak, since she has one of her own.
Dumbleydore?
She would admire his intelligence, and they could have fun conversations.
a dementor?
Understandably, she would not really want to meet one at all.
Edaniel?
She'd be a bit wary of him.
Vinculus?
She could potentially like him, I s'pose.
Childermass?
Oh yes. She would like him.
the gentleman with the thistle-down hair?
He would not want to be admired by him, but he could get along with him.
Ary?
She'd be annoyed with her. Possibly quite quickly.
Hitler?
Same as pretty much everyone, it seems.
Norrington?
She would like him because he was cool, and because he ultimately sarificed himself to save the woman he loved. And because he's handsome. Though she wouldn't let August know that.
Bucket?
She would enjoy the fact that he drank tea so often, but otherwise would heartily dislike him because he's an idiot.
Jack Sparrow?
She would think he was the coolest thing on wheels and probably want to become a pirate and join his crew.
Norrell?
She would have no patience for his rudeness whatsoever, and would not like him.
the Raven King?
She would probably admire him for being awesome.
the queen of England?
Well, she would be respectful and courteous, but she would probably grow tired of always having to behave so properly.
Voldemort?
Yuck, creeper.
Rufus Scrimgeour?
He's a jerk out for his own agenda.
Cornelius Fudge?
Idiot.
Ichigo?
She'd like how he used his strength to protect those he cared about, and how he treated everyone as his equal, regardless of status.
Matsumoto?
They would get along, certainly.
Orihime?
Yes, she'd think Orihime was adorable.
Ukitake?
Who doesn't like Ukitake? HE'S SO AWESOME. (the perfect answer, it seems)
Aizen?
She would secretely think he was handsome. But she would hate him at the same time.
Ulquiorra?
She'd like to have a conversation with him to find out some things about him. He's a bit too passive for her liking, though.
Kitsune?
Think back to Phantom's answer. However, Bea is willing to give anyone a chance...
Edward Elric?
She'd think he was funny, and would admire the lengths he was willing to go to to save his brother.
Edward Cullen?
They would definitely get along. They have the same sense of humour.
Carlisle Cullen?
Oh, she would adore him.

Now let's do, uh... THERE IS A BABY GOAT ON TV AND IT'S CUTE. Um. Let's do... Lucifer. This will be fun.

Tea or coffee?
He doesn't care.
favourite subject in school?
He's never been to school. He's self-taught. And he's surprisingly intelligent.
Thoughts on poaching?
Doesn't care.
If he were to dye his hair, what colour?
He might be curious to see what he looked like as a blonde.
Colour contacts?
He likes his eyes the way they are, thank you.
What does she think will happen to her in the future?
He hopes that their goals will come to fruition.
If he were dropped on a desert island with everything necesary to survival, and could chuse one non-crucial-to-survival item to bring with him, what would he bring?
A mirror.
Favourite mythological creature?
Pheonixes are quite pretty.
Least favourite?
Anything ugly and/or stupid.
If any, what wildlife does he like to observe?
He doesn't like wildlife.
Favourite place he's travelled?
He would love Paris or Milan. Beautiful people, good fashion sense.
Knowing what YOU currently know about the following persons, how would he first react were he to run into ...

Shadow?
He'd like his hair.
the Phantom?
Again, with the hair.
Shruikan?
Oh, he would have a field day with Shruikan. The feathers, the hair, the tattoos. Plus he'd like the fact that Shruikan could drink.
Astarael?
Ehh... Astarael might be a bit too... I don't know, but Lucifer probably wouldn't like him.
Psyn?
Nope. He doesn't like kids.
Teacup?
He can tolerate her, but he doesn't particularly like her.
Mr Strange?
Probably not.
Sirius Black?
Yes. Sirius was handsome. And clever.
Dumbleydore?
He might like him because he was smart, and because he was cool for an old guy.
a dementor?
He wouldn't care. They wouldn't have much of an effect.
Edaniel?
He and Edaniel would get along so well. You have no idea. Except Lucifer would probably hit on him.
Vinculus?
Yuck, he's gross.
Childermass?
Potentially, yes.
the gentleman with the thistle-down hair?
They would get along splendidly.
Ary?
He would be annoyed with her.
Hitler?
He wouldn't care.
Norrington?
He'd like him because he was handsome.
Bucket?
He had nice fashion sense. They might get along.
Jack Sparrow?
Jack was handsome. They'd get along. Possibly.
Norrell?
No, never!
the Raven King?
The Raven King is handsome and dresses well (... i think). Yes.
the queen of England?
She has power to a certain extent, so possibly.
Voldemort?
He wouldn't care.
Rufus Scrimgeour?
Ehh.
Cornelius Fudge?
He'd despise him.
Ichigo?
Yes, he could get along with Ichigo.
Matsumoto?
They'd practically be best friends.
Orihime?
He would like her because she's pretty.
Ukitake?
Yes, his hair is pretty.
Aizen?
He's moderately attractive. Yes.
Ulquiorra?
Ehh... The potential's there, but...
Kitsune?
No. Probably not.
Edward Elric?
He would enjoy teasing him, does that count?
Edward Cullen?
Oh yes. Edward is very handsome.
Carlisle Cullen?
See above.

Lucifer = vain! :D I'd do Crimson, but it would just amount to him wanting to kill everyone he'd find annoying, so uh, it would be kind of pointless. Crimson really doesn't like anyone. Um. I was going to do Gwen but I'm hungry and I need food. Maybe later.

OKAY QUERIES YAY.

Okay. And also we ended up not making it to see the fireworks, because we were up in Washington at Cris's friend's house playing croquet. I know, playing a British game on Independence Day is kind of backwards, but we made up for it by attempting to throw teabags in Patrick's hot tub... Exccept he caught us first so we couldn't. D: But since it was Washington we had huge fireworks. And fireworks that were illegal even in Washington because they were Indian fireworks, which are enourmous. Like, practically professional. Except I went to light one, and Pat (Patrick - we call him Pat) didn't know that it was my first time lighting off a huge firework, and so he's like, "Put it in the tube and light it, then run away before the fuse burns out," and I'm like, 'Tube?...' in my head, because I didn't know what he meant by that, so I sort of just set it on the ground and lit it, then ran off, and the next thing I know it explodes. Right on the ground. It was really loud, it was really bright, and it was really cool. Except after that I was cut off. Everyone got quite a kick out of it, though. I was called the entertainment for the night.

Anyway. QUERIES I'S EXCITED YES.

Tea or coffee?
He prefers coffee, with cream. No sugar. But he does like tea, just sweet. He's kind of weird like that.
favourite subject in school?
Foreign language. I could also see him being a Drama kid since he's a bit of a weirdy.
Thoughts on poaching?
Bad! Except he likes his eggs poached.
If he were to dye his hair, what colour?
He'd try black, just to see what it looked like. Or perhaps a vivid red, like Beatrix's, again just to see what it looks like.
Colour contacts?
Yellow or red, something cool and unusual like that. Maybe violet.
What does he think will happen to him in the future?
He's not really one to look to far into the future. He could see himself having beautiful babies (that's what he could call them) with Beatrix, though. He'd be a good dad, I think.
If he were dropped on a desert island with everything necesary to survival, and could chuse one non-crucial-to-survival item to bring with him, what would he bring?
Probably books, to pass the time. Or Beatrix. Although he could argue that she was crucial to his survival...
Favourite mythological creature?
Gryffin or pheonix. Or sphinx. Dragon? Dangerous ones, at any rate.
Least favourite?
Something stupid like a flobberworm. (shaddup. it so counts as a mythological creature.)
If any, what wildlife does he like to observe?
Big, dangerous animals. Like lions. Or tigers. OR BEARS OH MY. He also likes squirrels.
Favourite place he's travelled?
He would love Venice, so let's go with Venice.
Knowing what YOU currently know about the following persons, how would he first react were he to run into ...

Shadow?
He'd probably like him, although he'd be afraid he'd step on him.
the Phantom?
He might like him. He'd be curious to see why everyone seems to be in love with him, though.
Shruikan?
I think it's well-known that August and Shruikan would get along splendidly. They'd go shirtless, go drinking, and generally be stupid together.
Astarael?
August would like him, because Astarael is calmer and more subdued that most of the people August is with. Which would be a nice change of pace.
Psyn?
He would probably get slightly annoying with Psyn after a while.
Teacup?
He'd have some pity for her, actually. If he found out why she was so emo, at least.
Mr Strange?
Oh, he'd like Mr Strange. They're kind of similar in some respects.
Corryn? (have you met Corryn yet?)
Haven't met Corryn yet. D:
Sirius Black?
If they were teenagers together they'd probably be best friends. Even as adults they'd get along very well.
Dumbleydore?
August would be blinded by his admiration. (He really, really likes Dumbledore.)
a dementor?
Hmm... Well, no one would enjoy running into a dementor. He'd probably see the time when Gwen was nearly killed in front of him, and all the times he was nearly killed. (not that he's afraid of death, mind you, because it's hard to be a warrior if you are; rather, he was afraid of dying and leaving Gwen alone, because he's a thoughtful elder brother.)
Edaniel?
He'd like Edaniel, although he might be a little bemused by the fact that Edaniel jumped from woman to woman so readily.
Vinculus?
He'd find Vinculus quite amusing.
Childermass?
He'd definitely like knowing Childermass. (HOMEBOY IS A ROCKSTAR)
the gentleman with the thistle-down hair?
He would not want to be admired by him, but he could get along with him.
Ary?
August is a very patient person, so it would be hard for him to outright dislike someone, but he'd be a bit annoyed with her too, for not just facing her problems and instead putting them off.
Hitler?
Since August is, of course, fluent in German, they could have some interesting conversations. He'd be repelled by Hitler's ultimate goal, but fascinated at the same time by his ability to make people think it was a good idea so easily.
Norrington?
Heehee. He'd like Norrington. He'd like him best when he was drunk.
Bucket?
He would enjoy how short he is. And all of his little models of ships and people. He would have endless fun crashing them into each other.
Jack Sparrow?
I imagine they'd be good friends. They're both kind of weird, both enjoy getting drunk (although August has to drink a lot before he's drunk [damn high alcohol tolerance]), and they both enjoy being on ships. (August was a captain of a ship for a short while when he was in the south. LITTLE-KNOWN FACT OMG)
Norrell?
He would behave much like Strange: he'd be patient with him, but he'd grow annoyed after a while because of Norrell's habits and mannerisms.
the Raven King?
Don't know a lot about him yet, but I can't see August not liking him, because the Raven King is awesome.
the queen of England?
He would like her because she's a cute little old lady. He would also like her grandsons, because Harry and William are cool. (and hot but I DIDN'T SAY THAT) He'd like Harry a bit more, though, since Harry's the adventurous one.
Voldemort?
Who would honestly like Voldemort? Though he would be somehow reminded of Hitler, though to a lesser degree...
Rufus Scrimgeour? (i think you spelt it right...)
He'd probably be a bit bemused by his uptight nature.
Cornelius Fudge?
Okay, he would outright dislike Fudge, because Fudge is an idiot.
Ichigo?
He would definitely like Ichigo.
Matsumoto?
Hehehe... He and she would get along quite well. Although he'd be a bit distracted if they ever had a serious conversation.
Orihime?
He's got a crush on Orihime. So yes. He would certainly like her.
Ukitake?
Who doesn't like Ukitake? HE'S SO AWESOME.
Aizen?
He'd probably like the pre-asshole Aizen. But he'd really dislike the current Aizen. Jerk.
Ulquiorra?
Ulquiorra's a bit weird. August would like his face markings, though. Those are cool.
Kitsune?
He'd be a bit intimidated, mostly because he honestly doesn't know how to react to people like her.
Edward Elric?
He'd like him, although he's not sure Edward would like him, considering August's lofty height.
Edward Cullen?
They would certainly get along, I would imagine.
Carlisle Cullen?
He and Carlisle are actually a lot alike. So, I could see them buddying up.

It gets hard to use more creative language after a while. xD; OKAY NOW FOR ME DO THIS, except substitute Shadow, Phantom, Shruikan, and Astarael (and anyone else of your characters, if you felt so obliged) for August, Gwen, Crimson/Lucifer, and Beatrix. I would say Quinn, except I don't think you know a whole lot about him, so that makes it difficult.

Yep. Imma go take a shower now. And also, I don't think I was on at all yesterday except for three in the morning, so that's why I didn't respond earlier. As in, my computer wasn't even on. So yeah.

Hey, thanks for the comments! I'm glad you like my Akito pictures, especially the hand-coloured one. I agree that there's too much CG work out there, moreso recently.

Okay. This is how much of a nerd I am. DD: It's really upsetting. Tonight at dinner, my dad was like, "Hey, did you hear what happened in England? They outlawed smoking in bars and restaurants." And what's the first thought that pops into my head? 'Good. I don't want August to get lung cancer.'

DDDDDDDDDD:

He's too real in my head.

But anyway. I have a collection of names for my characters that I haven't introduced yet. I won't tell you them yet, because I need to draw out their character profiles first. They won't be like August's, mind you. They'll most likely be little scribbles with their names scrawled next to them. Because I'm lame. But I have a hard time finalising a character without their name, so I'm glad I finally have their names... Anyway. Rambling.

Um. I need to go to bed now. I'm tired. And I have to get up early-ish tomorrow so that I can go to my mother's house or something. Because it's Independence Day and there will be fireworks tonight at waterfront. Which is exciting. Because I like flashy things that explode.

No, no, I want Mr Corvus's face on my ceiling. That way I can lie in bed and look at it much more easily.

I've still got to clear out the space in my closet for Shadow's Shrine. It will be beautiful, and I will take a picture and put it on DA. And it will rock. Yes.

In Strange & Norrell, I'm where Strange in still in Portugal. And right now they're looking for the Neopolitans. I AM STILL SO FAR BEHIND. DDD:

The comic thing kind of came to a stand-still. I think I will work on it tonight. If anything, just sketching out the pages. I'll work on fine-tuning them later. But urghhh the pages are so big that I'm drawing on... It's hard to draw on them mostly because of their size. I'm forced to do detail, which takes a long time, which takes up my drawing stamina, and since I'm forcing myself not to do detail so that I can draw longer, it's a big mental barrier and it's really annoying me. D<

Crimson is ambidextrous and will use anything sharp and/or heavy as a weapon. However, he prefers a sword above anything else. A really, really sharp sword. He likes hand-held weapons because he can feel the resistance from it when he, say, beheads someone or chops off a limb. (Crimson is a very violent person.) Lucifer is left-handed, and isn't really a fighter by nature, but he does have a vicious streak that comes out when he's pissed. He likes bows (almost typed 'boys'), because he dislikes getting his hands dirty. He's not to be mistaken for a pansy, however, since his skill with a bow/gun/anything that aims is quite intimidating. In fact, the only reason he dislikes fighting is because he's incredibly vain. He doesn't want blood spatters on his coat.

Yay. I have one bloodthirsty character, and one who's obsessed with his looks.

:D

I OFFICIALLY HAVE POSTED ALL MY ARTS

BE HAPPY

okay.

I am currently enjoying my nightly bowl of Eggo cereal. I love this cereal. It's so freaking delicious. You have no idea.

I'm in a bit of trouble, because last night I was tired at one-thirty in the morning. I'm kind of tired right now. This is bad. At this rate I'll hardly make it to the release, not to mention staying up all night reading it... This could be bad. Damn beach trip. It got my schedule all wrong.

I know. KT Tunstall is teh shootz.

I know I need to update. D: Although now I'm curious as to what you'd say. And I kind of almost don't want to update so that you will and I can read what you'd write. xDD Except don't worry. I will. Sometime tonight. Hopefully.

And I'm bored. But I got a picture of three of the hot guys on the trip. They are hot. In order from left to right, they are Dan, Sebastian, and Tim. It was really hard to fit all of us in the frame, as you may be able to tell.



Then, just as an extra, Manda, Andrea and Dan.

Okay, on my YouTube, the videos Extreme Ball Riding and Green Eyed (which should be hyphenated, but I will let it slide) are by my friend Brennan, and I know the people in it. I don't know why that's important for me to say but for some reason in my head it is. Or rather, I just thought I'd explain it since they're kind of random.

The word 'mortgage' makes me laugh. Mort means death. Are they gaging death? Although gaging isn't techically a word, I think. The real word would be gauge. But whatever. The notion is humourous.

I swear. People on the message boards on the HP website are stupid. Someone was all excited thinking that they were the first to entertain the notion of Petunia being a squib. Then I come in and I say that Jo already shot down that rumour, insinuating that if they weren't such an idiot and had read through her website even a little, or paid attention to anything at all, that they would have known that. Because I'm feeling dogy today and it gives me pleasure to feel superior, because I have a massive superiority complex. But yes. And the boards are full of people who've read the books maybe once through, and then insist they know what they're talking about when they give skewed opinions on what's happening. And so I feel like it's my duty to set people straight. As I said, superiority complex.

And now I'm going to go belittle some more idiots. Yay.

"It's just an expression" comes from the fourth book, when Ron says, "I've been working like a house elf!" and Hermione glares at him reproachfully or something, so Ron says, "It's just an expression" to appease her. But for the life of me, I cannot remember where the one comes from that goes, "No one seemed to realise that Harry was dying." I cannot remember where that's from. And it's probably really obvious. Funny how I can remember the really obscure one but I can't remember the obvious one.

I reread them in like April. xDD But yeah. We should at least reread the important parts. Except I haven't been able to find my book 5 in forever, so I could have a problem with that...

Ohhhh, okay. xDD Cuz I was like, "It's not a difficult concept to grasp!" But no. We were on my dad's phone calling the cable company or something. By 'we', I mean that my dad was on the phone. But okay. That makes more sense. xDD

Hehehe. >:D I love those icons. There are... I think... 360 icons there, or something. Because I filled up 18 pages of icons on photobucket, and you can get 20 pictures per page or something like that. Heheheeeee. They're quite amusing. I love the quotes best. Especially the obscure ones because no one who's only seen the movies gets it. :DD Yay HP elitists!

UGH IS FINALLY DONE. GOING TO GO DROWN MYSELF NOW OKAY.

But I love those icons. I saved them all, uploaded them all individually onto photobucket, and pasted them individually onto here. And it took three fracking hours. But it was worth it somehow I guess I hope.

But my phone is disconnected for the time being, while I get my new one. It will be working again soon. But right now I don't even have a physical phone in my possession. It's off somewhere being traded in. Just understand that I don't have one right now.

I am going to sleep now because I'm tired. Except not really, because I'm going to make a bowl of delicious nutritious cereal and read S&N.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAhA. READ THE FUNNINESS.

sadie_dandilion: AFTER STALKING THE TRC 158 DISCUSSION POST AND DOING SOME CROSS-EXAMINATION I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE RECENT ASHURA-OU IS ACTUALLY SEISHIROU IN DISGUISE! AGREE? (IF TRUTH, POOR SUBARU IS BEING CHEATED ON!)

xDDDDDDDD -is dead.-

OH MY GOD THAT TOOK ME THREE HOURS AND NOW I HAVE CARPAL TUNNEL AND I AM DEAD AND IT STILL ISN'T RIGHT AND I'M GOING TO GO KILL MYSELF OKAY.

but i have to fix it first

Ahaha. Yeah. Um, my phone is currently being traded in, so I don't exist right now. Temporarily. So my phone is not working.

I am going to Potterise my profile now. Because I can. And because I need to.

And we just spent like an hour on the phone because my dad's internet wouldn't connect with my computer. But it works now so yay. Because the laptop at my mum's house is basically mine anyway, since I'm the only one who ever uses it anymore, so mum said I could have it. So now I is have it.

I am also planning on entering the Bizenghast art contest thing where you design Dinah's outfit. I've already got one outfit drawn up and I've got plans for more, since Marty said you could enter as many times as you pleased. So yay.

And I promise I will put up pictures tomorrow. xD;; I've been busy forever though. And I haven't had time. But I will tomorrow.

... Off to geek out now.

I'm going to my dad's house tonight so I will be able to post my arts okay. :D Yayy.

I AM WATCHING NINJA MOVIES

I have been on a mad search for HP icons. And I've found like a trillion. An unhealthy amount, really. But there's this group of icons with just text, and it's quotes from the books. But they're really obscure quotes that you wouldn't know were from HP unless you'd read them carefully. :D I love it. They're so amazing. I think I'm going to revamp my whole profile and make it HP themed for July. Save everything so I will still have it, but make it all Potter-y. It will be amazing. There will be like a billion million icons and they will all be awesome.

Yes. That is my Monday. Collecting icons that have to do with Harry Potter. I'm all nerd'd out.

Oh wait that doesn't help does it.

I think they're turqoise, though.

._.;

colour'd.

>:D

And nahh, I don't think they're related. I think they were just lucky to be born with such great hair. Plus in the back of one of the books it says under Ukitake's profile that he has a one-sided affect for Hitsugaya because their first names sound similar (Jyuushiro and Toushiro).

You is smarter than me. We've been over this. Several times, I believe. And so of course it would be you to figure out how YouTube works. xDD

I am so sunburnt! It hurts! DDD: That's it. I'm bathing in sunscreen from today forward.

I am going to check your DA after I post the picture link okay.

I think I am going to change my icon since I am never happy with what I have. :D

YAY ICONS.

I just made the best "that's what she said" joke. Mum said to Cristian, "That's when you've got to drop to your hands and knees and search for it until it smacks you in the face." And then I yell "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID" and proceed to laugh myself silly. Because I am an idiot.

So I have decided that on our Harry Potter week (or however long our celebrations will last), we ought to go all out to have big celebrations. Mother has finished HBP (hehe, i almost typed HBO) so we can include her in discussions we should have about things that will happen. We will make HP fanart. We will make theories. We will have pow-wows with Harry Potter plates, napkins, et cetera (assuming we can find such wonders). It will be fun. We should also bake a HP themed cake. Just because. And we will use coloured frosting to decorate. And sprinkles. Lots of sprinkles. And we will have to shop for full outfits and go crazy with detail, adding our own if necessary. Because I am determined to be amazing this year.

And don't forget we have to see OotP together. Opening night. Preferably in costume. With drawn-on scars. And we can go to Finnigan's and see if they have anything remotely Harry Potter. Because I am determined to be cool and revered and admired during the premiere. We should see it at midnight, if at all possible. You can come over here if you need to and we can see it at midnight and you can crash at our place afterward. This is, after all, a momentous occasion, and we must be prepared for all things cool.

Anyway. I feel like doing my own questions because I am bored and lacking of fun things to do. They're for August, naturally. And I don't feel like bolding anything either.

favourite flower?
He likes a lot. Scent-wise he prefers jasmine or rose, but based on looks, something bold like a gerbera daisy, dahlia, pansy, or poppy.
favourite flavour of gummy?
Lychee.
favourite book?
Something like Harry Potter, probably. With adventure and romance and all that good stuff, but with the added benefit of morals woven into the plot. Or just a good slasher/thriller. Hell. If it's entertaining, he'll read it.
favourite manga?
Something like Bleach. Lots of fighting.
favourite band?
Flogging Molly, Muse, Death Cab for Cutie, U2, The Clash, The Police, stuff like that. Rock/alternative, in general.
favourite metal?
Gold for looks. Iron for purpose.
parchment or paper?
Parchment.
cardboard boxes or plastic bags?
Boxes, of course! Really big ones that you can hide in. And walk around under. Or pretend to be a robot in.
shoes or bare feet?
Bare feet, unless he's walking a long way, walking over something sharp and/or pointy, or planning on dancing and doesn't want his toes stepped on by pointy heels.
big headphones or ear buds?
Headphones, but ear buds once his ears start to hurt. Because big headphones like he wears crush one's ears to the sides of one's head. Which hurts after a while.
flip phone or unflippable phone?
Flip phone, because he's impatient when it comes to answering and would prefer to either flip it open to answer or snap it closed to hang up. But I could also imagine him chatting it up in a red phonebooth, blissfully ignorant of anyone else waiting to use it after him.
favourite scent for a candle?
Something spicy like cinnamon, or vanilla.
wooden chair or cushioned?
He doesn't care. He doesn't sit very long if he sits at all.
black and white or colour photos?
Generally black and white, although colour is nice too.
new york city or paris?
He would adore both. Both have very different cultures and very different perks.
television or computer?
Computer. He doesn't like television very much.
city or country?
City, without a doubt. He would go stir-crazy in the country within about two weeks.
french or german?
He's fluent in both, and likes them both, but it depends on the situation. If he's feeling suave and wants to impress girls (August tends to be a bit of a ladies-man), he uses French. Otherwise, German. He likes how they both sound for different reasons.
lamps or candles?
Candles, although they do tend to burn out and flicker.
favourite style of drawing?
He loves the way Beatrix draws. But he also loves the way Gwen draws. He also likes realism. He also likes the way he draws.
favourite song?
It tends to change. Currently probably Time Is Running Out or Apocalypse Please by Muse.
least favourite food?
He's not a picky eater, but he's never really like pickles. So probably pickles.
least favourite language?
Vietnamese, because it is an ugly language, frankly. Very harsh on the ears and not at all a romance language.
least favourite genre of music?
The kind where people scream instead of sing and play unnecessarily loud guitar and drums. That's not music. That's noise.
favourite vacation location?
Venice. It's so culture-rich and quaint.
favourite fruit?
Watermelon. And apples. And grapes. And oranges. Okay, he pretty much just likes all fruit.
least favourite fruit?
Starfruit is kind of sour, and not in the good way.
favourite vegetable?
Broccoli or snow peas. Or peas in general.
least favourite?
Okra. Yecch.
favourite item of clothing?
His fleur-de-lis boxers. :D
if he could only live one day over and over the rest of his life, what would he do during it?
He'd probably wake up next to Beatrix, they'd fool around for a bit, he'd take a shower (he enjoys showers), he and Bea would hang out with Gwen and Quinn and Gedric and whomever else, and he'd finish it by going drinking with Quinn and Ged in a bar where they were playing live Irish music and playing drinking games.

That would be a nice day.

Oh. And the YouTube. It apparantly won't play more than either ten or twenty if you select the play all feature because it's stupid. After that you need to listen to them individually in the related videos section. It's annoying, I know. I've tried my damnedest to circumvent the problem, but to no avail. And it mocks me.

'if he had one, it wouldn't matter. he doesn't like to talk to people, and he would never pick up.'

Shadow is a man after my own heart. :D

OKAY I HAVE TO SAY THIS FIRST. At the trip we were all hanging out with this group of four guys that we met, and their names were Dan, Sebastian, Quinn, and Tim. I know. Quinn. It was so funny. (by the way, i totally have dibs for sebastian as a name.) Dan was sweet and kind almost to the point of obscenity, Sebastian was really goofy and funny, Quinn was much like my Quinn if you can imagine it, and Tim. Oh my God. Don't even get me started about Tim. He was really funny, very nice, all that, but UGH. He had the most adorable blonde curls, big green-blue eyes, and he was tall with pale-ish skin. But the most amazing thing about him. HE'S FLUENT IN GERMAN. I kid you not. It blew my mind. I heard him on the phone while we were walking up the path to the beach to do a bonfire (even though we knew very well that bonfires and fireworks of any kind were illegal-- we brought sparklers, too), and at first I kind of wondered for a second why I couldn't understand what he was saying, and then I was just like, "ARE YOU KIDDING." It was amazing. Because you would never guess that Tim was German by looking at him or listening to him talk-- he sounds and looks quite thoroughly American. But LDJFSJDF:LKJSD. German. It seriously made my trip. But this is a funny conversation Dan and Seb had (keep in mind that they're joking the entire time, and we were on the beach walking to Manzanita):

Seb: Hey Dan, what kind of tracks are these?
Dan: What do you think they are, dumbass? (they were very obviously dog tracks)
Seb: I don't know. Bird or something?
Dan: No way, dude. Birds have three toes and webbed feet. This print has four toes and fur marks around the edges. It's obviously a squirrel.

Maybe you had to be there. But it was hysterical. And when we made the bonfire I was the only one who knew how to make a proper bonfire. Aren't I the city girl? I'm supposed to be helpless in the wilderness! Damn boys not knowing how to make a proper fire and making me have to be the man. But it was fun. We got pictures with them so you can see their hotness later. Because they were frackin HOT. I tell you what.

I really love the song Makes Me Wonder by Maroon 5. Adam Levigne, the main singer, is hot. I love the little one-eyebrow-lift thing he does. And he looks damn good in a suit. Which can be said of most men, really, so I don't know why they don't wear them more often.

It's finally going somewhere in S&N. I'm actually really eager to read it. It's so good. But I needed computer time.

Okay. One more beach thing. It wasn't cold at the beach at all. We even SWAM. As in, full submergance (is that a word?), head underwater, arms-and-legs-paddling swimming. It was really cool. We were body surfing. And wave hopping. Except Dan, Manda and I were the only ones brave enough to go in past our waists. We were practically up to our shoulders. Speaking of shoulders, I am deliciously sunburnt. I am red like lobster. Not really. But it is a funny visual.

That sounds good. Yes. Your house for a few days, my house, then Harry Potter. And I really need to do some scoping as to where the best Potter Party in town will be, so we can be there. And also, we need to have extremely excellent costumes. I was asking for Harry Potter stuff for my birthday, but as luck would have it I completely misplaced the list of all the stuff I'd made, and so I didn't have it in time to give to my dad. But I'm going to see if he'll get me some stuff anyway because he hardly got my anything for my birthday. Jerk.

I KNOW ISN'T UKITAKE AWESOME. I sort of love him. He's so cool. He's definatly one of my favourite Bleach characters. I take it you like all of my icons. But I'm going to add more because I can. As soon as I have the will to do so. Which could be a while.

Gosh I'm tired. And I want to read. But at the same time I don't. Because I want to internets. But I don't want to internets. Because I want to read. WHY CAN'T I JUST DO BOTH AT ONCE. Dammit.

okay. so. i go to beach tomorrow. yay. except will be cold. because it is beach. in oregon. oregon beach = cold yes.

the little japanese fragment on my page makes me giggle because i know what it means. i was having fun translating things. and i came up with that by accident. and it made me collapse into a fit of giggles when i saw what the rough english translation was. heehee. because i have a boy's sense of humour i've discovered. but anyway. if you want to know what it means... hehehe. tell me and i will translate.

i's evil.

i also need to dye my hair red again. because it's faded. not all the way, but enough to make me want to do it again. mummy and i will probably dye it tomorrow before my trip. because i love my hair red. it's so loverly. and it's better than whatever my natural hair colour is called.

and also. i put about a trillion new icons on my page because i can. and it took me a long time. because i had to upload them on individually on photobucket and then apply them individually on here. but that is okay.

i might be going to kinokuniya tomorrow. cristian says he'll take me so long as i'm up by ten or something. ha! good luck with that! i've been sleeping till three and he damn well knows it. but i also haven't any money, which makes things difficult, but maybe he's saying he'll get stuff for me. if so, then i guess i'd get up earlier.

but anyway. i left exactly ten comments while you were gone. because i'm crafty.

okay. since you're gone, i'm bored, and there is tektek-ing to be done, i am going to make gaia avatars of my characters okay.

first is august. he is a manwhore.



then beatrix. don't ask about the laurels.



and gwen. she wears red tartans and looks almost too girly in this.



and quinn as the last one because i have to go to bed before the sun rises too far.



his hair isn't dark enough. but i don't really care. blehh. watch me not caring.

i'm kind of addicted to the song 'time is running out' by muse. i'm kind of addicted to muse in general. once you get a feel for their genre of music it's so great. but i really love them. and especially this song.

anyway. going to bed now because there is a definite red tinge on the horizon. even though i want to read s&n. but i won't. because i need to get some sleep.

that picture makes me laugh so hard.

finally mr strange is introduced! good god! it's taken forever! i mean, it's a great book and i heartily enjoy it, but it is going so slowly and blehh. i'm sure that once it gets going it really gets going, though, and so i am not too worried. and i am just trying to get to that point.

anyway. this is a very funny conversation two of my friends were having on lj about everyone in clamp being a woman:

Serenity_Winner: THIS WOULD EXPLAIN THE HIDEOUS LACK OF SEX IN CLAMP WORKS. frackING SEXLESS YURI WIMMINS.
IambicKilometer: THEY ARE ALL FISTING BEHIND OUR BACKS EXCEPT IF THEY SHOWED THAT THEIR SECRET WOULD BE OUT. THEY LIKE TO PRETEND TO HAVE MALES. IT MAKES IT MORE FUN FOR THEM.
Serenity_Winner: I KNEW THOSE dogES WERE HIDING SOMETHING FROM ME.
I'LL JUST HAVE TO BLACKMAIL TOMOYO FOR THE TAPES.
IambicKilometer: I'M PRETTY SURE YOU CAN BUY THEM FOR DECENT PRICES ON EBAY. TOMOYO HAS A GOOD RACKET GOING SELLING THEM. CLAMP IS SLOWLY GAINING POPULARITY WITH THE MALES, AND BY SLOWLY, I MEAN INCREDIBLY QUICKLY.

the last line made me laugh so hard. and right now iambickilometer and i are co-writing a crack fic where the pairing is tomoyoxwoman!syaoran, because they are our new otp. because yes. it's so obvious.

anyway. just thought i'd share.

and also i spent most of today thinking it was tuesday. mostly because i stayed up until six, woke up at one, ate lunch, took a nap from three til six-thirty, and been up since. i was tired. but until six it was monday, from one to three it was tuesday, and after six-thirty it almost felt like wednesday. except it still felt like tuesday. even though it was still monday.

anyway. i'm really hungry so i'm going to get some food.

YOU IS OLD LIKE ME NOW. >:D

okay. so. i am having a really weird back and forth commenting thing with this girl on livejournal. and it's so funny. so far we've discovered that everyone in any of clamp's mangas is secretely female, that clamp is the new age william shakepeare except with less cleavage, and that tomoyo has a secret obsession with syaoran. i've got to let you read the conversation some time. it's too funny. and it's all in capital letters because it's the all-caps community for clamp stuff. and it's all crack 100%. it's too funny. my favourite entries on there to date are as follows:

"FAY KILLS DUMBLEDORE.

DISCUSS."

and then:

"IN ANOTHER DIMENSION, KUROGANE AND FAI ARE IN A BOY BAND. FAI IS BABY SPICE.

DISCUSS."

it's too funny. oh my gosh.

anyway. so i got a whole ton of markers and even a copic marker case for a late birthday present. and so i've coloured the first page of the omake. and i think i may have to buy new markers halfway through because i swear i'm going to kill them. but it looks cool. the only problem is that there is less of a difference between cool grey #9 and black than i had hoped for. i'm going to have to colour some parts black in either photoshop or paint because i don't want to kill my black yet. because i have to use it for things. but i have more colours to get. and i will take my dad to get them for me since mum spent eighty-five bucks on like sixteen or seventeen markers or something. i can't find my copics from before which is really annoying because i had a good amount and good colours. blehh.

anyway i will stop rambling. i still need to do your birthday picture! ahhhh! -dies-

this statement calls for capslock

I NEED TO FINISH STRANGE AND NORRELL AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

okay.

oh my gosh. listen to 'irish pub song' by flogging molly. it's great.

i realised recently why manga is so hard for me to author. i can't ever sketch anything, so when it comes to doing rough draft pages i can't do them at all because even sketches have to be perfect. because i'm alternately extremely lazy and a perfectionist to the extreme. but anyway. so i've been working on my little short omake, which is what i'm calling it since i don't have a better term for it. because it's emo. because yeah. but i'm going to get the pens to colour it tomorrow. i haven't actually drawn a whole lot yet since i used up my drawing quota by fine-tuning the first page and drawing the following twelve little thumbnails. I draw them about the size at marty's, because it forces me not to use detail. even though i do anyway. it's thirteen pages long. i didn't do it like that on purpose, it just happened. i think thirteen is a good number. yes. but reading it, you probably won't know what it's about until the ending pages, and then you'll want to go back and reread it. then it will make more sense. because it probably won't make sense until the end. i already said that. dammit. i'm redundant. i need to go to sleep. but i'm not. because i'm stupid. but we knew this already. i want to draw now. i'm going to try and do one page a day because i can't do any more than that and keep my sanity. i'm going to kill my new markers with this omake, i just know it.

anyway. i am going to try and think of some questions because i have free time and i feel like tiring myself out so that i can wake up in six hours and be tired and then stay out really late playing poker with cristian and his friends while mummy hangs out with her friends.

anyway. questions. dammit i am going to have to press shift.

favourite flower? favourite flavour of gummy? favourite book? favourite manga? favourite band? favourite metal? parchment or paper? cardboard boxes or plastic bags? shoes or bare feet? big headphones or ear buds? flip phone or unflippable phone? favourite scent for a candle? wooden chair or cushioned? black and white or colour photos? new york city or paris? television or computer? city or country? french or german? lamps or candles? favourite style of drawing? favourite song? least favourite food? least favourite language? least favourite genre of music? favourite vacation location? favourite fruit? least favourite fruit? favourite vegetable? least favourite? favourite item of clothing? if he could only live one day over and over the rest of his life, what would he do during it?

that's all i can think of. i have thinker's block. but, like, all the time. as if that's a surprise. why do i say things you already know. i know. it's because i'm dumb.

ಠ_ಠ

okay. so. i have all my pictures at my dad's house saved, and since the computer at my mummy's house is extremely slow these days i really don't feel like attempting a download of the file. because a, i'm lazy, and b, it will probably kill all the visual memory on my computer. because ho mai gawd is this computer slow these days. but yeah. i will update when i next am at my dad's house. which i just realised won't be for like two weeks. so um. yeah. because i'm going to the beach with two of my friends and i don't get back until 1 july i think. wow that's a really long time.

i forgot that wednesday was edward cullen's birthday. i feel so lame. usually i don't forget things like that. i don't deserve to be a fan.

okay okay so. i drew the first page of the little thing that i was inspired to do. it's only going to be a couple of pages long. so i can take my time. but i'm going to go to art media and get outlining pens and a whole bunch of greys because i need them. and then i will colour it. i have a really cool colouring scheme in mind. and since i'm evil i will not tell you what it is about. i am going to make you wait and see. it should be very interesting to you, though. it may explain a thing or two. [take that as you will, hurrhurr.]

i am too lazy to press shift. wooooooo. notice i didn't even bother to capitalise the statement about missing edward's birthday. imagine it all in caps, plz. because i was going to press shift, except then i decided, 'no. i'm lazy'. yes.

indeed.

you are gone so looooooong. goddammit. don't go to yellowstone. i've been there. it's boring. well okay, last time i went was like when i was a year old, but i don't remember it at all so it couldn't have been that great. but i guess it hailed golfballs or something while i was there. i wish i remembered that. that would have been cool.

anyway. it's really hot and i'm in my swimsuit to cool down. i really want to take a cold shower. except cold showers at four ay-em are weird to try to explain. but yeah. now i want to draw a picture of august, quinn, bea and gwen at the beach. because i'm lame like that. i have an idea for a short gag-strip in my head that i thought of at dinner. it's funny. because i could see it happening.

tomorrow is the longest day of the year. this is weird. i don't know why. but it is.

that shower is actually sounding kind of good right now because it is really hot in this apartment. imma open some windows because it's hot. and i is needing cross-breeze. because cross-breeze = homg nice.

enough of me being dumb. as if that's a deviation from the norm in any way, shape, or form. ha that totally rhymed.

YOU LEFT IT AT A REALLY ANNOYING PLACE.

I'm in a weird drawing mood now. I haven't been in a real drawing mood in forever. And a short comic thing just popped into my head. YAY INSPIRATION. Whoo. Actually, I can't remember the last time I was in a real mood for drawing. This is weird.

I need to take a shower. But I don't want to wash my hair yet. I straightened it and it's so easy to manage when it's straight. Because it's not everywhere and curly. Obviously. And things don't get stuck in it. Like pocky, for instance.

I still want to finish that Beatrix figurine.

BY THE WAY I SAW THE BODIES EXHIBIT AND IT WAS COOL. They had a set of plasticated intestines. I didn't know that much guts could even fit in one person, and it was only the intestines. It was like whoa. There were so many cool things there. It was awesome. I had so much fun. It was a really cool anatomy lesson. And with some of the bodies you can get, like, millimetres away and they don't care. They only care if you touch. No touchy. But it's so cool. We saw the accompanying IMAX movie too. It was great.

I changed my icon. I'm changing it again rather soon, I'm thinking.

I drew a few doodles the way Beatrix draws... You may be surprised at her style. In fact, you most likely will be. I also posted my pictures. COMMENTS PLZ. haha jklol.

I'M GOING TO POST MY ART NOW. I was planning on doing DA first, but it's on read-only right now so poo. But I'll update here I guess. Yeah.

I've got a themesong for August, I think. It's "Into the Ocean" by Blue October. I will give you a SPECIAL PRIZE if you can answer correctly what it's about.

I am going to draw for a bit. And maybe if I'm still not tired I will read Strange & Norrell. Because I need to finish it. By the time you're back from Yellowtone.

It's teme... But I think you have to add an extra 'e' at the end, in the little sub-sound thing. Maybe. I don't know. Probably not. @_@;

I'm drawing an obscenely cute picture of Beatrix and August. I love them. They're so cute. It's based kind of off a picture I saw that I idioticly forgot to save-- it inspired August's pose. Then for Beatrix, I referenced from something that mum said while we watch James Bond for like the millionth time about a little gesture that one of the characters does. Yeah. August is only in his boxers because a) he prefers not to wear clothing if he can help it, and b) I want to draw his muscles. I'm killing myself with this picture kind of because I'm doing odd perspectives, complicated poses, and HANDS. GOD I HATE DRAWING HANDS. Dx Blehhhhhh. I can never get them to look right. But yeah. I like how it looks so far.

My knee is making an extremely worrying noise. Whenever I bend it and unbend it it sounds like cartilage crunching. Oh god what have I done to it. This is potentially bad. OH IT'S A SCARY NOISE.

Oh yay these will take forever. C:

Favourite Potter book?
Probably the second. Best visually, in his opinion, and the creepiest. He likes creepy.
Computer or Typewriter?
Computer for its functionatily, typewriter for the feel and the noise.
Portable or desk-top (they make portable typewriters)?
Portable.
What kind of car?
[This should be fairly obvious.] The Vanquish, of course. Or something like a Mercedes or a Jaguar-- muscle cars are fun. But as long as the car goes fast he'll probably like it.
Favourite form of public transportation?
Double-decker busses. Old-time trolleys.
What element?
Air. Second, fire.
Blinds or curtains?
Curtains! Blinds are useless.
Futon or box spring or foam?
He's good with anything, really. He'd probably prefer something bouncier, though, since he still jumps on his bed from time to time.
Does he like bubble baths?
Not really. They're more of a waste of time.
Favourite tea?
Earl grey, chai, chamomile, or peppermint.
Bath or shower?
Shower. Baths take too long.
What does his shampoo smell like?
He switches-- either sharp and citruisy, or something soft and subtle, like vanilla.
Wide rule, college rule, or narrow rule?
College rule. He doesn't write largely, but he doesn't write excessively small either.
Of every one he knows, is there anyone he thinks is too comical?
Not really. The person he knows most likely to make a joke out of everything is himself.
Too serious?
He often tells Quinn to lighten up, but again, more jokingly than seriously.
Who would he most like to meet who is alive?
Probably a famous painter or artist, since August is rather lacking in the area of drawing ability. He greatly respects someone who can draw well.
Dead?
Oscar Wilde, because August loves his wit.
Favourite flavour of lip balm?
Grapefruit. Or cinnamon.
Favourite juice?
Orange or pinapple.
Pencil or ink?
Ink.
Light or Dark?
Light.
Sky or Earth?
Sky.
Blue or Grey?
Blue.
Green or brown?
Green.
Shiny or functional?
Probably shiny.
What is most important: beauty, knowledge, strength, or instinct?
Knowledge, although they're all important to a certain degree.
What's the grossest thing to step in that he can think of?
Poop. Yuck. Bodily fluids in general.
Which song/piece of music can he best identify with?
He can relate to many different pieces of music. It depends what mood he's in.
Does he need time alone to retain his sanity?
Yes. He loves to be around people, but he also values his solitude.
Salt or pepper?
Salt, although he's really not partial to either.
Which would he prefer to live in, a tree house or a hobbit-hole ('cept tall enough to stand in)?
Hobbit-hole. It would be darker in his room so he could sleep all day and not worry about the sun waking him up.
City or country?
City.
By the ocean or inland?
He wouldn't care. The ocean is very nice, but he doesn't care if he's inland.
Mountains?
Nice too look at, but he would not want to live on one.
What sort of plant life would his ideal environment have?
Lots of leafy trees, and flowers. Lots of grass. Fewer pine trees and ferns and such things, and fewer tropical plants.
Animals?
Birds are nice. And rabbits.
Climate?
Warm, but dry-ish, and windy.
Glue or tape?
Glue for most things. Tape because it's fun.
Book or movie?
Book... Movies are kind of boring.
Which sense does he think is most useful? (sight, smell, hearing ... you know the deal)
Probably hearing, because if someone is trying to sneak up behind you, it's important to be able to hear them.
If he had to give up a sense, what would it be?
Probably taste. He really enjoys food, but it's the least important in terms of survival.
Brown or white rice?
White. It's stickier.
Would he rather be an actor or part of the stage crew?
Actor, of course.
Musical or regular play?
Regular play, probably, although he does like musicals.
What instrument would he most like to learn how to play, that he doesn't already play?
The accordian. They're just so cool.
Favourite dance, if any?
Something that requires a lot of movement. Waltzes and foxtrots are nice and everything, but he really likes to get physical with the person he's dancing with.
Which 'star wars' movie would he like best, were he to know what star wars is, and watch all of them?
Probably the second.
Biggest social gaffe?
Probably when he was training some new recruits-- twelve-year-olds, mind you-- and he was sparring one-on-one with one of them, and another one snuck up behind him, whacked the backs of his knees, and he fell over. Quite embarassing for someone as high up in the ranks as himself.
Stupidest moment?
See above.
If he could chuse who was to kill him, who and why?
A worthy opponent on the battlefield, who outsmarted him fair and square.
What would he think of Teacup?
He'd think that she was kind of annoying in that she's very aloof about everything and doesn't take any responsibility for her actions.
Of the Phantom?
He'd probably find him very confusing. All the pseudonyms would confuse him.
If he had wings, what would they look like?
They'd probably look something like Shruikan's.
Favourite bird?
Crow, lark, or dove.
Does he like muffins?
Who doesn't? Poppyseed are his favourite.
What is his favourite bakery item (be as specific as possible)?
Probably a nice, fatty pastry covered in icing.
If he were gay, what type of guy would he like, both appearence and personality-wise?
He would like dark hair. Okay, think Quinn and you've got it. Someone with a very dominant personality.
Does he like tofu?
Yes, but he likes meat better.
Chocolate milk or regular?
CHOCOLATE.
How would he like his coffee?
Black. Or with cream. No sugar.
Tea?
Oddly enough, he likes his tea to be sweet. With cream.
What non-chocolate flavour goes best with chocolate?
Peppermint, or orange.
Favourite non-alchohol carbonated beverage?
He'd probably like brown soda. Like Coke, or Dr Pepper.
Favourite alchoholic beverage?
Straight vodka.
Favourite junk food?
Chocolate.
What does he think of the interpretation that dark and evil are the same (the dark lord, Voldemort ...)?
He doesn't believe they're the same. One can be dark and not be truly evil, and one can be a very sweet and light and be completely evil. They often walk hand-in-hand, but not always.
What in an author's writing style can he flat out not stand?
He hasn't come across a writing style that really just put him off. However, if there was an author that couldn't describe things in creative, varying terms and used the same adjectives for everything, it would drive him nuts.
What can he not stand in the story?
He doesn't like characters that are completely perfect, who don't have any flaws whatsoever. He also doesn't like characters that are underdeveloped.
Would he be a leader or a follower, or neither?
He's a leader, though subtley. He doesn't lead by telling people to follow him; rather, he leads by following.


HAVE FUN READING. ;D

Yeah I KNOW he's in his twenties. xDD Which is why I thought it was funny because he does look young. But I was saying that in THIS he looks his real age.

Today it was funny because I only went to first and second period. My friend Roman convinced me to skip third period and hang out with him, and since third was study hall I did. We hung out on the front lawn with a group of other people. Roman and this other guy had their guitars and were playing around with them (Roman can play surprisingly well), and my friend Jordan and I were making clover chains (since it's something every girl knows how to do, apparantly) and making Roman, Donny, Jeff and Jeryth wear them. It was fun. Then Mrs Myner, the principle, drives up in her car and we're like, "Oh frack. We're screwed." Since we were all skipping third period. But she just gets out of her car, looks at us, laughs, and says, "Wow, you guys remind me of a college campus! That's great!" and we laugh because she's not making us go to class or something dumb like that. No one goes to their classes on the last day of school. Then fourth period Donny, Jordan, Annie and I walked down to Starbucks and got lattes. Because as I said, no one goes to class the last day. It was fun. I'd do it again but today was the last day. Which kind of is awesome.

Well, he WILL be in colour, as soon as I get around to colouring him... But I have all night to do everything. I need to read S&N and then colour Shadow. My picture makes him look more in his twenties. Because I drew him sort of older-looking. Which I guess is... good... but I need to reference his scars because I forgot what they looked like last night. While I was drawing him. And I hope I got his hair right....

AND THE DOOR ON JO'S WEBSITE IS OPEN AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE TEST. IT IS SO COOL.

I DUN DRAWED THE SHADOW! :DDD And funnily enough I really like how it came out, except for one bit that's proportionally way off, but it's easy to fix so it's cool. And if I can't fix it I'll just crop it from the picture when I scan it in. :D Yeyyy.

I AM GOING TO GO READ NEW CHAPTER NOW. Haha, I read the new Bleach yesterday. xD And I knew that FTA was down. I'M SO KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THINGS THESE DAYS WOW. Tomorrow is my last day of school that it's awesome. And yes, I shall be spending the night Friday, I guess... It seems a bit inconvenient to go all the way out to your house just to go back. xD Just a bit.

I read one hundred pages at graduation from S&N. I am now on page 169. I'm horribly pathetic. I know. IT'S GOING SO SLOWWWWW. But I'm going to be reading all through math tomorrow so hopefully I can at least have a respectable chunk gone by Friday...

PSYN IT HAS TO BE PSYN. If it's not I'm going to be clueless. Why do I always think things are Psyn? Am I stupid? Don't answer that. I kind of want to go to a psychologist if only to be as weird and morbid and strange as possible but be undeniably cheerful the entire time. I think it would be amusing. I'd love to try posing the question to my dad, though. "Hey dad! Take me to a shrink, I want to see if I can freak them out!" Well, I think it would be funny... Hey, I'm going to post a picture of my new hair so you can envision it. It's a really crappy picture because I took it with my phone, but yeah. It was really sunny so I was squinting. I look really, really pale in it too.



That's how vibrantly red my hair is. It's amazing. HAHAHAHAHA. You'll never guess what happened in Band today. So I was talking to my friend Hilary and I said, "I wonder what we're going to do in Japanese?" Because it's Japanese right after Band. She says, "Didn't sensei say we were going to watch a movie?" And I'm like, "Oh yeah! Whaddaya wanna bet we're watching a Miyazaki movie? Oh, oh! I hope we're watching Howl's Moving Castle! I love that movie!" Then later we're in Japanese and what movie does sensei say we're watching? HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE. My jaw dropped open and I turn around in my seat and yell down the row, "DID I CALL IT OR DID I CALL IT." And then we both nearly fell on the floor laughing because we're stupid.

YouTube is not loading. Damn Internets. I swear, YouTube is my most visited page. I go there first every time I turn on the computer. Mostly because I always have to have music playing in the background if I'm doing stuff. I don't know why but I do and it's weird. But I can't have the TV going. My dad likes to leave the TV on really loud and then go swimming or something. Then I have to get up and turn it off. It's quite irksome. Ever since my favourite shows ended I have grown quite irritated with the magical box of wonder.

WHY HAVE I STILL NOT DRAWN SHADOW. DDDDDDDD: I REALLY REALLY NEED TO. I was planning on drawing him today in study hall but I was really tired and slept through it. So I didn't. BUT I NEED TO TONIGHT. I will draw him right after I get back from Comedy Cafe. Because it's tonight. Yeah.

I'm also having a tough time getting through Strange & Norrell, mostly because while it's excellent writing, it's taking a long time for the plot to develop. I'm sure that once it gets good it gets really good, but right now it's still in the elementary stages. Mostly because I haven't had any time for reading. Blehh. I really just want to read it and get through it! Damn school, taking up all my free time...

I can't wait until school is out. -_- But apparantly it's a go for Friday, so yayyy! I will meet you in Powell's after school... And I'll be sure to wear comfortable shoes. @_@

My dad, being an idiot, insisted he had to have the computer TWO frackING HOURS AGO and stole it from me after I hadn't been on in over a full day, and had had it for maybe five minutes. So this is the first time besides the time two hours ago that I've been able to do anything. Actually, I had a comment all written and everything with probably twenty questions, then my dad stole it and proceeded to SHUT DOWN THE frackING COMPUTER BECAUSE HE FORGOT I WAS ON. LKSDJF:OKSJDF:LKSJD:FLKJ. I was quite upset. Because he does that stuff all the time but doesn't ever let me just finish what I'm fracking DOING first. And then he insists that he's not going to do what he does every time. Then when I become (rightfully) angry when he does exactly what he promised not to do, he gets all offended that I'm upset. URGHHHH. -_-#

Anyway. I've dyed my hair red. Not permanantly, of course, since I'm too lazy to keep up with the upkeep of permanant dye. But it's a very vivid, dark red. Think Beatrix's hair colour, actually, since it's pretty much that exact shade.

I really like the song Soldier's Poem by Muse. It and Starlight are my favourite songs of theirs. I was having fun on Sonos and looking through their stuff. Yes. I like Sonos. It's a delightful little invention. Except for when it's down and I feel more like smashing it to bits against the sidewalk. C: But when I first heard Starlight I was confused because it sounds kind of like U2's style more than Muse's...

Anyway. I'll start over with the questions. Hopefully I can remember them. Because I had some really good ones. BUT MY DAD DELETED THEM. So if they suck, it's his fault.

I'm going to assume they're for a male, so... They will all have male pronouns. Or whatever the frack the things are called. I'm too lazy to actually think...

Favourite food? Favourite colour? If he was dragged by me into a Starbucks and told to order any drink he pleased, what would it be? Favourite beverage? Favourite cereal? If he could have any wish, what would it be? If he were to have a Disney moment and break into a random song while, say, showering, what song would he sing? Paper or plastic? Hands or feet? Does he untie his laces/unbuckle/whatever his shoes before taking them off? If it were his perfect day, what would the weather be like? If he had to be killed but was able to choose the way in which it was done, how would he do it? Favourite genre of books/movies? Suppose he had to make a sudden departure to God-knows-where, and only had time to pack one thing: What would he bring?

That's all I can think of right now because I'm stupid.

You're right! D: I only ever draw August anymore! But I can't help it because I just LOVE HIM SO MUCH. Speaking of which, I drew a horrifyingly cute picture of him last night. Or perhaps more accurately, this morning, since I think I maybe got two hours sleep last night... That may be pushing it though. I don't think I slept last night at all, really. I shouldn't be as awake as I am right now. But yeah. It's him, and then kind of his stats. I'm planning on doing them for all my prominant characters-- that is to say, Gwen, Quinn, Beatrix, and possibly others if I feel so motivated. BUT FIRST I NEED TO DRAW SHADOW. I'm an idiot and I haven't actually started yet... I'm going to start it tomorrow or possibly tonight. Yes.

And thus this comment comes to an end.

Haha! Speaking of Lucifer, I just drew him! Well, the focus of the picture is Crimson and Teacup, but Luc is important too. I really like this picture. o.o Crimson is scary in it. Did you know that he has a really, really bad temper? Well, he does. And in this picture he's basically really angry with Teacup. I won't tell you the details, because I want it to be a surprise, but yeah. It's cool. I still have to draw Teacup though...

I really really REALLY hate proportions. -_-; Just FYI.

Favourite apple:
Yellow delicious, gala, or fuji. Anything soft and sweet. He can't stand granny smith apples because they're so bitter and hard.

(my bad. xD)

I have Thespies tonight. Which is basically the drama department's version of the acadamy awards. I have to find something fancy to wear... You'd think that I would have an abundance of that kind of stuff, rather than a suspicious shortage of it...

Anyway. I shall make it my duty to think of random questions to your characters now. I'm going to bring a notebook around with me and write them down when I think of them.

HO'SNAP I WILL HAVE SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS. :DDD

Who is August's favourite charactere in Potter?
Dumbledore. He's fond of Lupin, Ginny and Luna too, but Dumbledore is his favourite.
What's August's favourite time of day?
Early morning, either when the sun is rising or has just risen. He's not awake to see it very often, unfortunately.
Favourite season?
Late summer, early fall.
What's his favourite tree?
Either cedar or apple.
What language would he most like to learn?
Latin, but it's difficult to learn it because it's so rarely used. He's the type who has to have a lot of outside stimulus to learn a language at the pace he expects of himself. For instance, when he was learning Russian, he moved to Russia temporarily, to a place with few English-speakers. Within a month he was nearly fluent, and after that he moved back home and taught himself the subtleties of grammar, so he could write and read fluently. When he wants to learn something, he really wants to learn it.
Does he prefer hot or cold weather?
He prefers warmer weather. He doesn't like it hot, per se, but warm. Mostly because he doesn't like wearing a lot of clothing.
What is his favourite Shakespeare play?
Probably Julius Ceasar, Romeo and Juliet, or
Favourite movie?
300 or Gladiator. Definitely. He also likes Casablanca. And the classic Disney movies.
In his opinion, the worst movie ever? (these obviously if he lived in our time)
Saw III. He likes thrillers, but that one was just pointless.
Favourite band/song/music genre?
He likes a lot of everything, but his favourite genres are classical, indie rock, alternative rock, and swing. Since he enjoys dancing. Because real men can dance.
Favourite book?
He's a fan of Dracula by Bram Stoker, Salem's Lot by Stephen King, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter, and Strange & Norrell (because it totally seems like a book he'd like).
Videogame/gaming platform?
Wii. PS2 second. Then Gamecube.
Favourite thing to do with Gwen, besides just be with her?
He enjoys discreetly spiking her drinks to see how long it takes before she notices. And a good game of Halo or Gears of War against her is always fun.
What shape drinking glass does he prefer?
Martini glasses. He drinks chocolate milk out of them. (he like chocolate milk.)
What does he think of modern technology as a whole?
It's great, and amazing and whatnot, but can't replace real human interaction and fresh air.
Politics?
Generally, not one of his favourite topics. He finds it boring and tiresome.
What types of candy does he like?
Sweet things. And chocolate. And gum. His favourite candy is probably either candy necklaces, suckers, candy canes, or really dark chocolate.
Favourite type of boat/ship?
Sailboats! And speedboats.
Favourite bridge style?
The arched bridge... I forget what they're called. Structurally, they're quite remarkable.
What does he look for in architecture?
Detail. And old-fashioned elements.
What is his least favourite farm animal?
Pigs. They smell, and he almost lost a finger to one once.
Does he wear wool clothing? (I'm randomly looking around the room for inspiration ...)
No. It's itchy and it drives him nuts.
Ooh! favourite flavour of chocolate!
As dark as it can get. Perhaps with peppermint.
Favourite hot drink!
Coffee. With cream. And tea, so long as it isn't fruity.
Most annoying insect!
Mosquitos. They drive him nuts since they seem to be attracted to him.
What are his views on global warming?
Humans are idiots, and they need to pay attention to the effect their irresponsibilities are having on the world around them.
Who is his favourite charactere in Bleach?
Most likely Ichigo, Grimmjaw, or Orihime.
Hagaren?
Edward or Scar.
Tsubasa?
Kurogane, although August thinks he needs to lighten up a little sometimes. Second probably Syaoran.
Death Note?
Mello.
Of my characteres, who does he think he would get along with the best?
Kitsune, if she didn't freak him out slightly.
The worst?
Probably Psyn.
Who would he be annoyed out of his pants by?
Ari, because he hates it when people mope around.
Favourite gemstone?
Ruby or malachite. Or rose quartz.
Does he like to wear red hats?
Yes, they're quite dashing.
Other hats?
Top hats and fedoras all the way.
What is his favourite modern sport to watch?
Rugby, or hockey. He loves high-contact sports.
To play?
See above.
Which Espada does he like the best?
Grimmjaw!
The worst?
The ninth, whatever his name was.
What's his favourite manga?
He loves how clever Death Note is.
What is his favourite weather condition?
Warm and sunny, but windy.
What does he wish he were better at?
Letting Gwen do what she wants and giving her more freedom-- he's very protective of her, and while he trusts her to make good decisions in judgement and whatnot, he has a hard time not worrying that she's okay. It's probably his biggest fault.
What is a skill he has that he thinks is useless?
He can tie cherry stems into knots with his tongue. Good for oral dexterity, but pretty much useless otherwise. He can also solve a hopelessly jumbed Rubik's cube in under three minutes.
Does he believe in fate?
Mostly no.
In the afterlife?
Well, he didn't until he appeared there after he was killed...
Destiny?
Not really.
If any, what religion is he? Be specific! (I'm having
fun ...)
Atheist. He guesses that there could perhaps be some sort of God, but overall thinks the chances are very low of it being a reality.
What is his favourite piece of silverwear?
Knives. He likes knives.
Article of clothing?
Besides boxers, probably jeans.
What types of flowers does he like?
He loves yellow flowers, since surprisingly, yellow is his favourite colour. So dandilions, sunflowers, daffodils, and buttercups are his favourites. He really likes flowers that smell pleasant as well.
What is his favourite smell?
Rich, warm vanilla, old books, baking bread, and freshly mown grass.
What does he collect, if anything?
His favourite books in every language.
What type of bedding does he prefer (pillows, blankets,
mattress, bed, sheets ... anything else ...)?
He doesn't really like blankets very much, since he tends to get tangled in them. He often sleeps on two pillows.
What is his favourite type of bench/sopha?
Gwen's jade velvet chaise. And divans.
Least favourite?
Uncomfortable or unnatractive furniture is blehh.
What, in his opinion, is the Meaning of Life?
To discover what your talents are, then master them and find a way to use them in a way that benefits the greater good of society. Also, to be happy and live life without regrets.

That took me, like, and hour and a half. *-* It was fun.

NOW YOU GET TO READ THROUGH MY ANSWERS HURR HURR HURR.

Nnn... The only character I can think of that could be of those traits is Psyn, but I know I'm most likely wrong. x_x;

FIRST CLAIM TO FAME: At the age of fourteen, while in combat practise with his instructor twelve years his senior, August knocked the man out cold for ten minutes. Such a thing was unheard of, especially since the man he beat was celebrated as one of the best hand-to-hand practitioners of the time.

AND NOW QUOTE ME ON THIS:

"Visually evocotive, with a clever story narrated by personable, human characters, Bleach is definitely one of the most well-executed, relatable manga series I've read to date." Haha. I spent time on that. It's hard trying to fit everything you want to say in one sentence... >_>

Yes. That would be cool. We should do that.

I actually understood everything you said! :000 We are SO DAMN SMART AND STUFF.

... I can't guess who it is! D: Because I'm stupid! And mostly brain-dead today!

But I GOT THE BOOK TODAY, so I'm going to be reading it like crazy so that I will be finished by next Friday. Haha, next Friday is Gwen's birthday! Her birthday is 15 June. Yes. And yesterday was Draco Malfoy's birthday. It was way cool. I have to draw birthday pictures for both of them now. Dammit. Along with the Shadow picture which I haven't started yet because I'm DUMB but this has been previously discussed.

The next time you see me I may have red hair. HEADS UP. (not permanently coloured, just temporary, but it will be a vibrant dark red so yeah.)

I don't like this whole birthday business. >:( I'm in denial. I don't want to be a year older. I feel old already.

I'm bored. I don't want it to be school tomorrow. I have to play Pomp and fracking Circumstance because the damn seniors are graduation. Damn upperclassmen. I DON'T WANT TO PLAY AT YOUR GRADUATION. DAMMIT.

Birthday has made me grumpy. >(

Okay, since I feel like it, I'm going to dare you to come up with the weirdest, most obscure questions directed at August to see if I could answer them. I bet I could. But I've gone over most of the obvious questions and some of the not as obvious ones and I've grown bored of myself. So challenge me. Because I'm lame and it amuses me. D:

Oh my god.

Weirdest. Chapter. Ever.

BUT ASLKFJSLDKFJ:LSKDJF:LKSJDF FAY = SO CUTE AS LITTLE KID.

HORRIFYINGLY SO.

155 is out!~~ Happy birthday to me, I guess.

Apparantly it's all backstory, but I say it's ABOUT GODDAMN TIME we got some backstory on Fay, that jerk.

Haha, that reminds me! We had to take... Survey-things in study hall today, on our opinion of our school, and if we we taught life skills and such. And one of the questions was something like, "Have you ever been harassed by a peer or teacher? If so, please explain." I jumped on that one and wrote, "I was verbally harassed in eighth grade, but I got the jerk suspended!" Just like that. xDD My teacher, who had been reading my response over my shoulder, nearly keeled over laughing. Then Zoe asked if I was really going to answer like that, and I'm just like, "Yep. -submit-"

It was so great.

IS BIRTHDAY. DDx

But at least I is getting nummies tonight for dinner since we are going out to eat sushi and I is loving sushi.

Hokay, if you have the same sense of humour I do, you will find [url=www.icanhascheezburger.com]this website[/url] ridiculously funny. I thought I was going to die when I first found it because I was laughing so hard. I could barely breathe. It was an unnerving experience, I tell you.

I plan to get Strange & Norrell tonight >O And Death Note 12, if it's out, which it might not be but in case it is. AND ALSO THE BIZENGHAST ART BOOK IF THEY HAVE IT SINCE IT CAME OUT A BIT AGO I GUESS AND I WANT IT REALLY REALLY BAD.

HE SHOULD HAVE >O

My birthday = tomorrow. DD: I no look forward to. For reason previously discuss. Yeth.

My dad's girlfriend Angela, since it was my birthday tomorrow and she was going to be gone, threw me a party and took me to some place to get my nails done. It was so weird. But my toes are black and white alternating, and my hands are basic french tips, but on the ring fingers there is a little black and white flower. It's pretty but really weird, especially since it looks so professional and I'm used to my quickly brushed on, slightly chipped gold polish that I put on a few days ago. It's so weeiiiiirrrrrrd.

I have also decided that I have a fear of Asian accents. I amused myself by trying to think of the name for that fear while I was getting my nails done. Well, it's not so much a fear of the accent itself, mostly just of the fact that I can't understand thick Asian accents for the life of me. See, with European it's no problem-- Irish, Scottish, British, French, Italian, no problem. I can understand those easy. But then make me talk to someone who speaks in a thick Chinese accent and they might as well be speaking Chinese for all that I can understand. I realised this today because I have nothing better to think about than weird accents. Dx

I think I want to draw August in a dress. A short dress. And a kilt. Yes. Kilts = hot.

I just finished watching the movie 28 Days Later. It's so great. It's like... A modern zombie movie. It's so gory and violent, it's great. You should see it some time. It's got a really good idea for how zombies could exist. It's way cool.

That makes me pretty happy that you recognise my art... I was a bit worried that none of my art looks like whatever I drew last, so that's reassuring.

I don't think that's lame, I think it's really good, to not just go along with the usual, admittedly kinda mindless tactics of just having everyone look alike for no good reason. But my story includes (or..it will) characters from all around the world, so I should try my best to make it seem that way.

*skips off to your gallery*

There was a new chapter! Oooooh, it's getting exciting! The beginning cleared up two of the things I had wondered about. xD Yay. Like, what Grimmjaw needed Orihime for, and why he appeared next to Ichigo after Ichigo'd gotten his @$$ kicked by Ulquiorra. Very exciting.

Certainly she does. At least, it sounds like something she'd like. Ballroom dancing is fun. I enjoy waltzing.

Okay. How's this for pathetic. I sometimes ask questions to myself that are actually directed at August, then answer the way he would. I do it a lot in the shower because it amuses me. For instance, you could ask me anything in the world about August and I could answer it. I know him far too well. Or perhaps he's simply much too real in my head. He's my favourite of my characters to write, favourite to draw, and favourite to muse over. God. I'm obsessed with my own character! I'm such a nerd. Dx

Urghh. Birthday is in two days. Not excited.

I was going to write more, but I forget what I was going to talk about. Wait. I remembered. I think we should hang out this weekend or something I don't know. Maybe NO WAIT. Better idea. Not this weekend, but next weekend we should do something since you will hopefully be here. And yeah. Yeah. Uh huh.

Yeah. I'm going to see if there is more Bleach to read. Because I is wanting more.

Thanks for your comment. =3

That's a good question, I hadn't really considered that, seeing as how in manga every ethnicity just seems to look the same, haha... But that's a valid point, and maybe I could make thatpart of the story. Thanks for pointing it out.

Any tips on how I could make her look more Chinese, though?

Wowzers. How long is that book?

You are so evil. >(

I STILL WANT TO READ IT!!!!!! SO BAD!!!!!!! :ALDKF:SDKF:SK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

3 DAYS TIL MY BIRTHDEY OMG WUT TEH FUK.

DDDDx;

I really don't want to be sixteen since I have a horrifyingly all-consuming Peter Pan complex. But anyway.

I IS COMMENTED YER STUFFS ON DA.

plz chek my fayvs kthx. u wil lol reel bad.

I really need to post those pictures. xD;; Tell you what. You send me the new stuff, and I'll post the old stuff the same time I post the new stuff. Yes. And if it's not too much to ask, you should scan the picture of August I started drawing too, since I want to put it in scraps. I still have on crucial element of that picture to draw which wil make it really evil to colour, but it will look awesome. If I can pull it off. It will probably be hard to draw. D: Probably here meaning LIEK SUPR RLY.

I really love Emily's [almost] review on Harry Potter that precedes her review of Strange and Norell. It's so trueeeee.

My dad only just now got home. Woooo. That's fun.

Actually, that quote alone made me want to read the book... books? I still need to read it, actually. Dx Because I am LOSE.

But yeah. Emily is awesome. And my personal idol when it comes to aesthetics, because she has seriously the best aesthetic sense of anyone I've ever seen.

Haha, that's funny, since my dad is out at a play until about the same time. It's like it's a conspiracy or something.

I know, as soon as I got home I turned on the computer and went straight to the website so that I could look at the translation. xDD Ashura is so fracken CREEPY. And that ZOMBIE. UGH. -dies-

I'm really mad that House fired Chase. >( Chase is hot. Way hot. And he's Australian. Which just intensifies the coolness. To like. The tenth degree.

I have the last marching practise tomorrow after school. And I don't want to go. But I have to. Or else I die a horrible death. And then the parade is on Saturday. And then there's a party afterward that I won't be going to most likely, since I will be tired and I will want to go home. Even though there will be six gallons of ice cream to consume.

Wait. Which book? o.o

My friend Donny is amazing. Last night he made a cheesecake, a delicious cheesecake, and he brought it to school with three forks, and he, Zoe and I all ate it during study hall. It totally made my day. Because it was fracken delicious. He says he wants to be a baker in Italy when he grows up. I'd totally visit his bakery like every day, because he cooks so well that it would be worth it. xDD

We had our Japanese final today. Well, part 1 of the final. We have to take the test on verbs and adjectives on Monday. I am NOT looking forward to it. I hate verbs. And I hate adjectives. They're CRAP.

I drew the cutest picture of August. I mostly wanted to draw a cute guy's outfit, since I enjoy clothing, but August just HAD to be my model, and he looks so freaking cute. He's so precious. And the outfit itself is way awesome, if I do say so myself...

Okay, so, I read 154 off of Ladydarkmoon on LJ, because the oter website didn't have it up yet. And since she didn't have translations, I only know what they're saying in JAPANESE, which is a fat load of help since I totally understand everthing there is to know about that damn language. -_-; So now I have to wait for the website to get up the chapter in english because IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH AN AWESOME CHAPTER OMG OMG OMG.

Well then... I'll wait until the first and then maybe start drawing. xDD I'll draw and colour real fast so that I am FOR THE WIN. But it will still be good I hope because I love Shadow. And I have to do him justice.

I can't believe it. That stupid bee is flying into the window again. WHY HASN'T IT DIED ALREADY.

And the reason I'm posting at noon on a school day is because I took some advil pm last night, which is supposed to help you get to sleep. It helped me get to sleep, that's for sure, but it completely knocked me out and I only woke up an hour ago. My bad.

Ah, yeah, I know what you mean. I spent most of last night staring at the wall. I couldn't sleep, like, at all. It really sucked. But yeah.

I CANNOT WAIT THE DAYS TWO >OO

... Yeah I can. I'm a lazy fracker and I probably wouldn't have drawn it until the very last minute xDD;

I am now going to see if there is any new Bleach to peruse. And then I don't know what I'll do, but I'm sure it will be something dreadfully exciting.

So, I need to finish that picture of August. It's going to drive me crazy. I really love that picture. I want to ink it and colour it and everything. And there's one last thing in it I have to draw.

I am going to draw a Shadow that's so hot your eyes will BURN OUT OF YOUR SOCKETS. >OOO

Testing.

... I'm just gonna put a bunch of crap.

SHINJI HAS SUCH A COOL VOICE.

I know! Orihime is so cool in the manga, but in the anime her voice totally ruins any cool points she earned. Voices like that really just ruin it for me. >( Which is actually one of the reasons I don't watch anime.

Okay. So. Mum just told me that Saturday we've got a barbecue to go to or something that's being hosted by one of Cristian's friends. This is kind of last minute to me, since I hadn't heard about it before, and I'm really hoping that if we see the movie that night it will be a later showing. Normally I would just skip, but apparantly the hosts' sons are totally hot, and so I simply must verify, of course... >_>;

I am now going to amuse myself on YouTube or something.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGQRTMo3EsA

I love Ulquiorra's voice. And the sounds the sky makes when it unzips. xDD It's awesome.

YOU HAFFA READS YOU SOME BURICHI!!!!!!!11!!1!

I really want to see Amelie. I have not seen that movie. But the trailer looks awesome, the soundtrack is amazing, and it's in FRENCH and I love French.

I have marching practise tonight. BUT SCREW IT. I'm certainly not going when it will probably rain, and it's wet and yucky outside. And plus THE SEASON FINALE OF 24 IS TONIGHT AND I'M NOT MISSING IT.

D<

Oh, oh, and I read FMA 71. It was good. Salim is so fracken creepy. And Ed is funny.

I just got back from paintballing. Those things hurt like a dog when they hit. xDD But it's so fun. I have some impressive welts, let me tell you. I was shot from nearly point-blank range in the left knee, and it's all swollen and red. It's amazing. I got shot again in my left elbow, because some guy was a jerk and was acting like he was leaving, except he wasn't holding his gun up-- but since it was one of the first games, we figured he just didn't know the rules. (when you get hit, you're supposed to hold your gun above your head, yell that you've been hit, and walk with your gun above your head until you're out of the arena.) But he was just ambling out of the arena with his gun pointed down, and we were kind of wary because we didn't know if he was out, but we didn't want to be jerks and shoot him, so we kind of just turned our backs and focused on the warfare in front of us, but then the guy turns around and opens fire at us! Bastard hit me in the elbow. We turned around as soon as we realised what had happened and shot the crap out of him, but it still hurt. But is was so great. I love paintball. Hurts like hell and leaves awesome welts, but so much fun once you get into it. We played outside in the forest, so there was a lot of brush to hide in, but we got all muddy and gross. Plus you get covered in paint.

But yeah. Those frackers pack a punch.

I wasn't on the interwebs at ALL yesterday, which is really really weird. I went to school, obviously, then came home, realised I didn't have my keys with me since I had forgotten to switch them into my other bag, sat outside waiting for my dad to get home, then as soon as he got there and let me in I had to pack and leave for my mum's apartment. But before that, we went to dinner at Rocco's, which is the pizza place kitty-corner from Powell's. Then we went to mummy's house. But right when I got there I realised that I had ten minutes to get ready for the Art Show that our friend had a spot in. So we went to that, which lasted until about 8.30, then went all the way out to Cristian's house and touched up some of the stuff, like, painting over some of the imperfections in the walls and such, since he's trying to sell it. And we ended up staying there until about 11.30. Then we got home around 12.15, and I completely zonked, and I only just got up about an hour ago. I slept for long time. Because I hardly get any sleep during the week. But yeah.

There's nothing... Too potentially spoilerful in that notebook (hahahahaha, plan FOILED), but since I would like it back at some point, I guess I'll have to go see Pirates sometime next week that isn't opening night. Actually, any night that isn't opening night is good for me. Saturday night would be very nice. I could do Saturday. And if we could get a late showing (late showings are best because of their glaring lack of screaming children), then we could walk home to mum's house or... something. I don't know.

I'm going to check your DA now kthx.

Okay, so, I checked LadyDarkMoon's LJ and she said only xxxHOLiC today. I'm not sure if that means that she only has scans for that. Blehh.

Tsubasa isn't out. DD: It makes me sad.

I can't remember if there was supposed to be a chapter this week, thinking about it. I'm pretty sure there is, but I can't remember fully. Pooooooop.

Oh yeah, I know. I hate dentist appointments for that reason. My teeth feel too clean afterward. I LIKE them dirty, Mr Dentist, thank you very much. -_-;

Yeah, I guess thread or whatever would be easier than clay, but for August, since he has such short, difficult hair, maybe clay would be easier. :/ I don't know. I really want to do little figures of our characters now. They sound like so much fun.

I want to make some action figures and put them on DA! That would be so awesome! Making August's hair out of clay could be a bit difficult, but I could use paint to give it texture. I really want to make me some models now. I could make August really awesome. Like, use wire to make the body, then put clay around it. And paint over that.

Im just rambling, ignore me, since you knew already, I'm sure. xD;

What would you be making the action figures out of? Because I sort of want to make some. I could make an August one! :DD And you could take it in to class! Woo! Anyway.

Today was our field trip. PSU is so cool, it turns out. And it was really funny, because Mrs Vincent, our English teacher, told us specifically that we couldn't go to Starbucks because it was across the street. But we all did anyway because we're fracken REBELS. And the art museum was amazing. I haven't been there in so long. It was awesome.

You have to watch the two latest videos in my YouTube. They're so freaking funny I can't even describe it. My friend Jordan was reciting stuff from them, and he's like, "SO YOU HAVE TO FIND THEM ON YOUTUBE TONIGHT AND WATCH THEM" and I'm like "OKAY" and SNAP they're funny. Even funnier if you know the David Blaine Street Magic show to begin with, because the videos are parodies of that show. It's hysterical. xDD

Hahahaaaaaa. I remember what I was going to tell you! I was at Borders the other day and I was reading Loveless volume 5, and there was this one part that seemed freakily familiar. Ritsuka, the main character, had an older brother named Seimei who died/was killed. (can't remember which) Well first of all, it was weird to me that Seimei is five years older than Ritsuka. Secondly, Ritsuka obviously adores his older brother. Thirdly, the conversations (in flashbacks) that they had were eerily familiar to how August and Gwen act sometimes. It was really weird. I was kind of laughing but kind of like "this is so creepy" at the same time.

Yeah.

I AM EATING DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM AND IT IS YUM.

I want to go on the bzg forums now. xD Except I have to get ready for bed, and then the field trip tomorrow, and see if I can mooch more money off my dad for lunch at Starbucks tomorrow. Because even though I have thirty dollars of my own money I don't want to have to pay. xDD I'm saving up for... Something. I'm not entirely sure what yet. Originally it was for K-Con this year, but uh, I'm not going. And it won't really be much of a help in Europe, since the exchange rate for dollars to euros kind of sucks.

I need to take a shower. I'm all yecchi from marching band. Which wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be, even though we marched all over the parking lot, down to the middle school, all over []their[/i] parking lot, and back, then around both of our parking lots again. WOoOOooooOOo.

Whoa. Shrek the Third is out this Friday? Since when? o.o

I want to see it now.

I'm not going to flunk Japanese! :DD I thought I might for a while, but since sensei likes me and knows I'm smart she lets me turn in my stuff late. So now I'm passing! With a D! Yayyy!

Pooo. Well, the website is www.bleachworld.com. Yeah. It's a fun website. I found out Ichigo is, like, 174 cm. I'm 170... 171, maybe. So at least he's taller than me. Actually, I don't remember how tall I am in centimetres. Because I'm an American and I say SCREW the metric system. >D

I have marching band in ten minutes. DDDD: I hate marching practise. It's like two hours long. And all we do is march and play ocassionally and yell COVER DOWN and GUIDE CENTER at each other, since we have nothing better to do. It kind of a lot sucks. Especially since I would much rather stay home, listen to my Amelie song on YouTube, and finish the cute pictue of August and Beatrix. But no. No. Mr Betts, being a sadistic teacher (since all teachers are sadists), keeps us outside on a nice sunny evening marching around the track and making us play.

Dammit.

I'll post the other pictures this weekeeeeeeend. D:

OH MY LAKJF:LKJFSDFLLIUIIEPR{:LSKDJF:LSDF FLIBBER JABBER PANCAKE MAN. THAT IS SO AMAZING. A Gwen ACTION FIGURE! Would you be making an August figure too, or just a Gwen one? I'm supremely excited to see them. Gwen as a super villain would be so amazingly awesome. Oh! Oh! If you DO make August kitty-ish, you have to have Gwen pet him often! That would be so cool. :000

I have to eat dinner. Except I'm kind of not hungry again. What is wrong with me?...

I have marching band practise that I really don't want to go to tonight. C:

I have a field trip to PSU and the Art Museum tomorrow. I'm rather excited since it means I get to miss my regular classes for the entire day. :DD Yayy. I can't believe there are only, like, four weeks left in the school year. The past three have gone by so fast I can hardly comprehend it. It's like I'm in a TIME MACHINE! (say that in a crazy acid-trip seventies voice)

There was something important I was going to tell you, but I forget what now, which irritates me.

Haha! Chad from Bleach has the same birthday as August! xDDD That's awesome. I like Chad. He's cool. That's actually kind of funny, because he and August have a lot of similarities. Mostly, they have very similar morals-- like, how Chad says that those with strength should use it to protect those without. That sort of thing. But really, August is most like Renji or Ichigo. In some ways he's also like Matsumoto. But not in that he has a large chest. Because that would be weird.

My friend Jessica sent me a website with chapters 267-274 on it! :'DD So no more cliffhanger! Yay! Except you need to sign up. But really that's not a big deal. So yeah. They need to be downloaded but that's not a big deal either. Anyway, it's [url=www.bleachworld.com]here[/url].

I got a really adorable idea for one of the themes. I think it's the second one on the list, but the prompt is Love. I had no idea what I was going to draw for that one, but the idea came to me! It's really, really precious. It's August and Beatrix. They're so freaking adorable.

I really want the Amelie soundtrack.

Well, I would skip my Band thing, but my friends would pretty much murder me and hang my dead body from the ceiling as a warning for all those ever thinking to skip a Band... thing. It's pretty much a party, I guess. We stay after school to eat dinner, in school, then watch movies until about seven, then leave for Bullwinkle's where we can play miniature golf, race cars, play laser tag (I totally kick @$$ at laser tag), and other such joys. And there's DDR there. I kick @$$ at DDR.

Ummm... Oh yeah. Buchanan (you spelt his name funny xDD) got fired by his wife, who's the chick who works in the white house, because she had to in order to keep her job because of something stupid that was most likely a plot device. And so that's how Nadia took over, because before leaving he told her that she was in charge. So yeah. And the nuclear information was all on that chip because the terrorists who had set off the bomb in LA were Russian, and thus using Russian techonology. Yeah.

I wonder if the next Tsubasa chapter is out... It's out either today or tomorrow.

I've been making sure I have extra time in the morning before I leave for school so that I may listen to my Howl's Moving Castle theme. I love that song. So much. So I make time to listen to it at least twice every morning. And then I usually listen to Spirited Away's theme. It has a good one too.

Anyway. Blahh.

As in, you know... 'Gotta catch 'em all!'

o.o

Yeah. Miyazaki movies always have the best themes. It's like magic!!!!!!111!1!11!!!eleventyone. My dad is asking how I have a D in Japanese. I don't know how I have a D in Japanese, seeing as I have never once failed a test, but will he believe me? Of course not! Far be it from me to not know something... -_-; -grumbles in irritation- This is why I hate homework and grades and everything. It creates such enmity, stress, irritation, and discourse between children and their parents. If people like us, who are obviously very intelligent, are failing classes, then I think it should be more the school's fault than the student's fault, because we're obviously intelligent, but the school is too proud to ever change their perfect way of doing things. God forbid someone not get their system! God forbid it not be a 'one size fits all' education plan! -kills the superintendents-

I'm a little irritated right now. I fracking hate progress reports.

Howl reminds me of Fay in a big way.

I have added like a million billion trillion things to my YouTube. It's kind of pathetic. The only thing I have to amuse myself in my free time is to surf YouTube. But I've found a rather fabulous video that's purely the theme music from Howl's Moving Castle. I love all the Studio Ghibli waltzes. I gotta find them all!

[/pokemon reference]

Okay, I seriously love Ouran Host Club episode 24. It's my favourite of all of them. Not only is Tamaki horrifyingly precious, but it also has a really good storyline. And plus I also love Kyouya. I don't think I've ever seen an anime where I loved pretty much every single main character. Especially one where there's this many. GUH I LOVE THIS ANIME.

Well, it's not really a 'good' ending, because August is still dead and Gwen is still heartbroken, but it sort of provides some closure. It sounds cornier on here than it does in my head. I don't know. I'll write it out and see how it goes.

It was like 85 degrees today. Kickass. That's practically sweltering for Portland.

I have a field trip to PSU either this week or next... I hope it's this week, Thursday preferably, since I really can't afford to miss another Drama class. We're doing the dance thing and I've already missed one class. Which is bad. So yeah.

On another note, I won't be able to make At World's End on opening night, since Mr Betts went and scheduled the band trip that day. We're going to be at Bullwinkle's until, like, after midnight or something. It'll be great, but it will kind of suck since I really want to go to AWE the day it opens. >( Dammit, Mr Betts!

I've kind of been obsessed with the FMA theme songs today. o.o One look at my YouTube proves it...

Oh, and, it's not the last scene. The last scene has August as the primary character, though. Basically, it's kind of like August wakes up in heaven. It sounds really corny, but it isn't really as bad as it sounds. He sees Beatrix there and has a short conversation with her. And that's the last chapter. One of the themes is that even if Gwen goes, she'll see August again somehow-- you know. Because you read that other thing I sent you, about their argument. And so August is upset in the afterlife or whatever because he confides in Beatrix that he was lying to Gwen, and that he wasn't happy in leaving so soon, because now he wasn't going to be able to see her again, yadda yadda yadda. But Beatrix reassures him that August will see Gwen again, and blah blah blah. Sounds corny, but I wanted to end the thing on a happy-ish note... Yeah.

If August could somehow hear the things that go through my head, I imagine he would be a bit terrified of me. A bit. xD But I would feel bad for him, because I pretty much tried to find the worst possible way for him to die and still be conscious until the last moment. I'm terrible. But in a way I guess it's better than him dying instantly, because at least he and Gwen got to say goodbye.

;--;

I WANT MORE HAPPY TSUBASA FAMILY.

Are you kidding me? You should have seen me writing it. I was seriously bawling. Okay, not really, but there were tears dripping down my face. See what I mean? I'm horrible! I feel so bad for Gwen! I've killed off everyone she cares about! (August says something about Beatrix-- I kill her off too) I'm terrible. xDD; See, in the other versions August was going to live. Then I decided, "IF I'M GOING TO TORTURE MY CHARACTERS I AM DOING IT PROPERLY AND FER SERIOUS." So, I killed him off. DD: It makes me so sad to kill him. Because I love him.

I want to do things, but mother does not. And since it's Mother's Day we have to do what she wants. frackING MOTHER'S DAY. YOU JUST RUIN MY WEEKEND.

I need to give you the story portion. So, here you go. It needs revision, but whatever. It will do.

"This is such a shame," August gasped. He clutched Gwen's hand tightly, looking somewhere into the heavens as her body shook with silent sobs. "I was looking forward to seeing your future children someday. I bet they would have been lovely." He sighed, then coughed and spluttered as his ruined lungs slowly filled themselves with blood. Something dark scarlet trickled out of his mouth, contrasting harshly with his white face. "I wouldn't have minded having children of my own, actually," he continued, his eyes sad. "And if I could have chosen the woman who would mother them, it would have been Beatrix. She was quite lovely, you know." August's voice broke. Gwen sobbed into her brother's chest, doubled over with the force of her grief. He reached with a trembling hand and turned her face to his; his heart broke as he saw her expression. Words could never have described the level of her despair. For the first time that night August felt the tears in his own eyes. They overflowed down the sides of his face, dripping onto cold stone.

"Please," he asked, his voice trembling. "Please don't cry." Gwen attempted to speak for a few moments, but words failed her. Gulping hard, she tried again.

"I..." she whispered, "No. You can't. You're too young, this isn't right--" Her voice rose several octaves as she broke into a new wave of tears. They streamed down her face in torrents, her hands desperately clutching at his.

"Ginny," August whispered. He bit his own lips hard to keep from losing control of his emotions. He was dying, he knew. He would not be able to recover. He could not be saved. Thus, he had to make the last few minutes of his consciousness count. "Ginny, Ginny, Ginny." He took a deep breath, ignoring the painful spasms in his chest.

"Firstly, I would like to tell you that I love you." Gwen wailed and pressed her face into his chest, heaving with the force of her despair. "Secondly, I want you to know that I go without regrets, that I enjoyed my life, and that I don't feel as though I am leaving too soon. I have lived a fulfilling life. And lastly, I know that this is the end for me. I know I'm dying. But I have a request." He pulled her face to look at his, gazing into her grief-stricken eyes seriously. "Don't die with me."

Gwen could only nod her understanding. Could her heart be shredded any farther?

"I love you, August," she whispered, swallowing hard to keep the hysterical edge from her voice. She smoothed the hair out of his face, her hand on the back of his head to hold it up, since he no longer could.

"Be happy." He smiled. It was a devastating smile; one that spoke of unbearable sadness. His repetition of their parents' final wish was the nail in the coffin, sealing his fate, making Gwen feel a type of horror she'd never experienced. Then he choked, and screwed up his face against the pain of his wounds. Gwen held on to her brother as his body shook. His breath grew shallow and pained as his lungs failed him, his own pulse slowly and torturously killing him. The while marble was drenched in red. His hand was clenched tightly around hers, so tightly that it was painful. Gwen welcomed it. Anything to distract her from the horror gnawing at every fibre of her being. August's pain-filled eyes found hers, wincing as he could no longer breathe. His teeth bared, eyes clenched shut.

Then with a tremor that racked his whole body, he went limp. His sweaty hand slipped out of hers.

Gwen could not move. Horror, despair, disbelief, and helplessness crashed over her all at once.

August was dead.


Just for clarification, August was stabbed in the chest, and while it wasn't in the heart so it didn't kill him instantly, he was stabbed in the lung. So he's bleeding into his lungs, basically. It's a slow, rather painful way to die, since he's in effect drowning.

;-;

hey ^^ can I just say your art is amazing!

I just realised my dad has my sketchbook. Now I'm really paranoid he's going to show someone my drawings or something (because he's very proud of his artistic daughter, I guess) and he's going to see my deliciously perverse drawing and be like "OMFGWTF." o.o;;; That would be a bit difficult to explain. "Honestly! That one's a girl! She just has... Short hair... And no boobs... Or hips... And she works out ;-;"

D:

DevArt isn't working because it's stupid. -_-' Dammit, DeviantArt! I'm trying to get my theeeeemes!

OH OH AND I AM NOT GOING TO SCHOOL TOMORROW AT ALL SO IF BY ANY CHANCE YOU SEE THIS I AM GOING STRAIGHT FROM THE DOCTOR'S TO MUMMY'S HOUSE. So you should totally like come over after school or something or I'll meet you at your school or at Powell's or something. o.o THAT WOULD BE FUN. AND YOU COULD SEE MY NAUGHTY DRAWING. ;DDD

Oh, oh, and I'm going to do the 100 thing. ;D I'm very excited. I've got a really good idea for 82, but you can't see it until you read the end of my story, because it will spoil who dies. I also got the idea for the final chapter... I had an idea before, but this is just way way way better. I'll probably cry while writing it.

I also have an idea for another on of them that very conveniently ties in to a picture of August I've had in my head forever... It's the one of what his bankai would look like, sort of maybe. I love his bankai.

Okay, you HAVE to look at the latest thing on my YouTube. The Guten Tag Hop-Clop is seriously the best song in the entire world. It's absolutely hysterical.

I am going to Tigard. With my dad. To get a pole-vaulting pole. Because we can.

That same stupid bug is flying into the window again. WHY THE HELL ISN'T IT DEAD YET. And I can tell it's the same because it's a bee, and honestly, I don't even think bugs are that stupid. This one's a special case.

I still have to do my entire work sample. I reallly reallllllllly reallllllllllllllllly don't want to. Which is why I'm putting it off! :D

I really ought to be doing my homework, since I have a HUGE thing due for Biology tomorrow. But I have a doctor's appointment at 9.45 am, and so I'm missing the huge vocab test tomorrow in English and hopefully Biology so that I can postpone having to turn in the work sample. I hate work samples. With a passion. I fiery, burning passion.

So hopefully my dad will be kind and won't make me go to school at all tomorrow. C: Although, on the other hand, I have dance in Drama that wouldn't be so great to miss, most likely.... Ah well. That's what my friends are for. xD They can teach it to me, dammit!

Mouling Rouge is seriously the most amazing movie ever. You have to go on my YouTube and listen to AND WATCH Spectacular Specacular. It's the funniest thing ever. I pretty much died watching it just now.

I just read the translation and stuff for 152 and DAMMIT KUROGANE I LOVE YOU SO FREAKING MUCH.

He's seriously my favourite character. Fay was for a long time, a long long time, but now Kurogane has shown how amazing he is. Fay is an extremely close second, but Kuro... Ahhhhh. I just adore him. ;-; Kuro-daddy is so great.

Oh my God.

I just sort of almost read 152.

I didn't have any translations and since I don't know Japanese well enough to understand most of it I didn't get what was being said.

But oh dear God anyway.

The first, like, two or whatever pages simply made my day.

I fangirled so freaking bad.

You have no idea.

See, Crimson is smart. If he's expecting a serious fight he's sure to wear leather gauntlets over chainmail gloves. But like, the type of mail that's very thin and malleable, but sturdy. He values his dexterity. He's very very clever. However, he's also kind of a jackass and he has a very quick temper, so that kind of ruins any personality points he may have earned with his intelligence. xD

Awwwwwwwww. I just saw the end of Bones because I decided to turn it on. Hodgins and Angela are so freaking adorable. And Brennan and Booth reed to just realise how great they are together. Hell, I'd marry Booth. He's hot. And awesome. But anyway. I'm so excited for the next episode. xDD Yay season finales! Except boooooo because that means it's over. DD:

I want more of Booth's therapist! I love Booth's therapist. It seems to early to be watching TV. I'm not really in a television mood so I'm going to see if mum can tivo it for me. Because while I really do want to see it, I'm not really in the mood for it right now.

Blehh.

OH MY GOD GO ON GAIA RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW.

AND CHECK THE ANNOUNCEMENTS

I NEARLY HAD A HEART ATTACK

I need to go look at your picture... I will after this comment.

Well I know what you mean. I don't mean to, but I put political issues into a lot of what I right about. If one were to read between the lines enough, one could make parallels between the war between Seresu and Sirian in my story and the war in Iraq. o.o I didn't do it purposefully, it just happens. And same thing with my G+B story. I incorporate some modern themes and problems into it.

I am having the worst sort of allergic reaction to something. I don't even know if that's what it is. But basically I've got a weird sort of rash-type-thing around my collar and torso-area, and I have to wear high-collared shirts to avoid people asking about it. -_-;; It's really annoying. I don't own things with high collars. So basically I'm wearing the same stuff every day. It's really throwing off my whole fashion sense. DD: I don't appreciate this.

I think I must be eating for you or something, since I'm always hungry. Always always. I'm hungry right now. I'm going to go feed us.

I have a bad tummy ache. The kind where there's only one cure. And that cure is to eat a shootload of food.

In short, I'm fracken hungry. D<

Haha, yeah. American politics sucks so bad. I hate politics in general, really. And overall I consider myelf a conservative, but I add as a subnote that I'm liberal where it counts. Yep. I hate talking about politics. I really do. Mostly just because when I get in an argument I can't stop unless I emerge victorious. Which is why I should not join debate. xD

I'm reading some of the earlier Bleach stuff to amuse me. Like the fight between Byakuya and Ichigo. I love Byakuya. And Ichigo. And Renji. And Shinji. And Hitsugaya. And Kaien. I really really like Kaien. He's just so cool. And there's this one Hollow girl in Hueco Mundo that I just adore. She's the one who fought Uryu... Oh yeah, I love Uryu too. But anyway. She's just so damn awesome-looking. I want to cosplay as her so bad. But I realised today I won't be able to go to Kumoricon this year. DDDDDD; I'll be in Europe. I don't get back until 4 September. shootfrackDAMMIT. I really wanted to go. ;3;

There is a really stupid bug outside that has flown into the window like twenty times. In a row. Wow. That takes stupidity to a new level.

I haven't done anything on Gaia in so long. Blehh. But I'd go on to comment your stuff. Because I don't really have a better reason.

But I know what you mean. That's why I'm not taking an art class. It's so funny when people see some of my drawings then ask what art class I'm in, because their faces when I tell them I've never taken an art class amuses me to no end. Sheesh. Why do people assume that art talent could only come from years of art classes? You and I learned everything from practise. People who have to take art classes are pansies. If you need an instructor to teach you how to draw then you don't have the talent anyway. But don't even worry about it, I failed Home Ec in eighth grade, and that's one of the easiest classes to pass ever, pretty much. xDD

My friend Gabe has the best, most awesome musculature ever. He has very little fat on his body but very toned muscles, and so if he's in his track uniform or decides it's too hot in math class and takes off his shirt (like he did today) I get into these happy giggles. I would seriously love to just keep him for an anatomical model. Plus he's cute so that's an added bonus. o.o But seriously. It's amazing.

This morning I broke the strap off of my shoe right before getting on the bus. It really, really sucked, because it won't stay on my foot if the strap isn't there. So I went through then entire day carrying my shoes around. Which kind of a lot sucked because the ground was really hot today from the sun. Normally I wouldn't mind. But today I did. >(

Last night 24 made me sad. I don't know if you've seen it yet, but something happened that upset me. Namely, someone dies who I've been rather fond of since the beginning. I won't say who but yeah. Ruined it for me.

House tonight though so it makes it all better. :D

In my Future Focus class we have to pretend to apply to colleges. And that means that we have to write essays. There were prompts, but I made up my own and wrote about how intelligence comes in different forms... Actually, I'm going ot have to rewrite it since I started on one subject and kind of ended on another. xD; My bad. But whatever.

Poop I wanted to use it as a name. Dx

frack yeah we're seeing At World's End together. I was supposed to see it opening night with my friend Breanna, but I'm going to reschedule so that we can see it opening night instead. C:

And yes, you should probably see 1 & 2 before 3. It wouldn't be completely necessary, but to understand some of the subplots it's probably useful. We could rent the first two, watch them, then go to a late showing of the third. Late showings are the best. And we'll have to catch a late showing of At World's End so that there won't be a bunch of lame little kids screaming and ruining it.

That would be awesome to go to the same college. In Dublin, nonetheless. Or England... Whatever. I really only want to take English, Writing, and general other such writing classes. Literature? Something like that. But yeah.

My Drum Major in marching band is so cute. His name is Martin. And he has dark curly hair. I love curly hair. And he has nice musculature from directing and playing for four years. (he's a senior.) And he's just precious. I was in the front row for our squadrons and on the very edge, and Martin would often stand right in front of me and march backwards to watch our rows. He's just so cute. And very distracting.

Ooooh! I'm watching the commercial thing for Bones and it looks really good! Yeah. I'm watching 24 and commenting. Yeah.

Well if we had off-campus lunches, the closest place we'd be able to go is... McMenamin's, down the way. 'Down the way' meaning, of course, five blocks away from the school. We don't really have anything within walking distance around here, unfortunately. That's what you get when you live out in the boonies like I do. -_-

I finished Bleach. You're right, the ending is evil. CLAMP-worthy evil. Tsubasa this week, by the way. :D But yeah.

And I found out that the real name of Requiem for a Dream is Lux Aeterna. Kickass.

Oh yeah, and today is the ONE MONTH AND ONE WEEK UNTIL SCHOOL'D OUT mark! :DDD Except we get progress reports today, and my dad's going to kill me since my grades kind of a lot suck right now. xDD;;

I"m having miso tofu soup for dinner! C:

I think I must cry easily or something because I swear I was tearing up at the end of Spiderman 3. Which we should go see if only because Harry is SO frackEN HOT. But yeah. I know I'd bawl if you moved away somewhere really far away. Perhaps we could take turns living with each other? Like, you'll be in Dublin, and I'll be in Paris, or wherever, so we could take the train or fly or something to the other and hang out. That would be cool. And since we'll both be writers or artists to some degree, then we can get influence off of each other and it will be awesome. Plus since I'l be learning Japanese and you'll be learning Japanese, and we're both quite obviously fluent in English, and if we'll be in Paris, we could potentially be trilingual! (with French, obviously) That would be amazing. I could totally imagine us having a conversation and switching between the three randomly. xDDD That would be awesome. Hell, I'd learn Spanish too, since I'd probably be vacationing in Spain from time to time... And frack. Let's learn Italian and German for good measure.

We will be amazing.

Haha, as an extra note, in my picture August looks kind of like he's angry or upset, but he's totally enjoying it. Actually Quinn and August are kind of glaring at each other. C: It's such a great picture. I wish I had a scanner so I could post it right now.

Yesterday was the mark of one month until I'm sixteen. I don't want to be sixteen. DD: I need to enter the Finnigan's art contest before then. You should do it too! The latest age group is 13-15. We should both enter. The theme is THE ZOO! I have no fracken idea what I'm going to draw. xD;

I know, August would be such a precious uke. :> Paired with Quinn, at least, he's 100% uke. (Quinn is 100% seme.) xD

I personally like it when it's sunny, but I don't like being in the sun too long, because my skin tingles like when your foot falls asleep if it's exposed too long. It happened today at lunch because my friends and I ate lunch outside. We can eat lunch outside a long as it's nice. Our school is so lax and trusting. They'll let us eat lunch anywhere so long as we stay on campus. It's really great. We often sit outside on the grass to eat lunch.

Ohhh.... I have news to tell you. Big big big news. That will come into effect after I graduate high school probably. Mum and Cristian want to move to Paris, and they want to take me with them. So I may end up living in France after high school. I'm not entirely sure as to whether I'm happy about it or not yet, but I certainly think it would be cool. I wish I could just kidnap you and take you with me. How awesome would it be to live in France? Sheesh...

But I'd definitely be flying you out to visit for at least a month every summer. We could go to London! And Ireland! It's not entirely sure where we'd move yet, but mum and I are hoping for Europe. Cristian seems more leaning toward Tokyo or Shanghai, but it's so crowded there already, and there's a whole, completely different language to learn, and whole new customs, and THERE WON'T BE CUTE EUROPEAN BOYS IN TOKYO NO THERE WILL NOT. And I need my cute European boys. I want to go to Venice. We can go to Venice together.

Anyway. Yeah.

We're doing a dance unit in Drama, and we're choreographing a dance to a song from the Monty Python musical. It's an amazing song. Girls, unfortunately, don't have as large a part, though, so blehh. But it's still great. We get to be can-can dancers and squeal in high pitches!

Oh great fun.

AND we get to dress up in dance costumes for the class and take first lunch! It's quite delicious.

We'll be in Oregon for ONE DAY and we want to spend it with you. We're coming all the way up there because we're rocking so hard in California that we need a change of scenery. Come party with us and discuss theories leading up to Deathly Hallows!

OH MY GOD WE'RE GOING.

Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod.

WHAT EVIL HAVE I UNLEASHED.

I stayed up until one AM last night drawing the QuinnxAugust picture. GUH. It's... Dear God. I'm in love with it. Which is bad. It's so dirty! xDD;;; It's Quinn, pinning August against a wall, with one arm hooked around his waist and the other under his leg. And then he's licking August's neck! o.o;;; OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE. And they're only in their box00rz!!!!!!!111eleven

But I simply love it because it's amazing. And stuff. And yeah. o.o

BUT IT'S SO DIRTY.

BUT IT LOVE IT.

AND I SHOULDN'T AS MUCH AS I DO.

IT'S BAD.

BUT OH-SO GOOD.

DDDDD:

Oh my golly gobstoppers. I love [url=www.urbandictionary.com]this website[/url]. It's the most amusing thing ever. For instance:

5 SECOND RULE

An unwritten law dictating that if a food or other consumable item is dropped onto the floor, it may be picked up up and eaten within five seconds. The reasoning behind this is that dirt and germs take six seconds to transfer from one surface to another.

"Oops, dropped my popsicle. Five second rule!"
(Proceeds to pick up dirty-@$$ rocket pop and suck the lint off of it)

xDDDDDD I'm amused so thoroughly by ridiculousness. I love looking at the word of the day. I actually use this to look up abbreviations people make to avoid typing out their fracken words. C: Because I'm not smart enough to know them all previously.

I'M GOING TO TURN OFF THE COMPUTER AND DRAW NOW OKAY.

Wow. That last post is proof that I spout all kinds of bullshoot when I'm loopy off of lack of sleep.

I NEED TO SLEEP BUT THIS PLAYLIST NEEDS TO STOP PLAYING SUCH GREAT MUSIC

I guess I shouldn't have made it out of, like, thirty of my favourite songs.

THERE WILL BE NO END TO THE MELODIC JOY

I AM DESTINED TO FALL ASLEEP IN MY CHAIR

GIANT HEADPHONES LATCHED FIRMLY ONTO MY EARS

FOR ALL ETERNITY

UNTIL I TURN INTO CHEESE

OR FERMENT OR SOMETHING

AND BECOME FINE WINE.

Shh! Don't give it away! People have to find out I'm a gay cross-dressing creeper by themselves!

Well, on Myspace I'm even a guy, and I live in Iceland. Portland, Iceland. Kickass.

Now I have the urge to draw Ulqui! Blehh. I still have to draw that picture... And you were surprisingly close, by the way. But no, not August/Gedric. August/Quinn! Which would be really weird. Because I know August, and I know Quinn, and yeah. Quinn I actually based off my friend Nate-- personality-wise, anyway. They're very similar. But August is uke. Which is even weirder. I guess it's because August is so much more childish and... innocent, to a certain extent, than Quinn. Quinn is interesting. But I've already described him to you so blehhhh. No more descriptions. But Nate is interesting and very difficult to explain and understand so I can't describe him even on the best of days, and to do it best it has to be in person so that I may gesticulate. Because I feel the need to do so when describing a person like Nate for reasons I can't quite understand.

Anyway. Yeah. I need to draw that picture, and then I'll be done. And I'll go to bed. And sleep.

Yesssss. I knew it.

I have the strange and sudden urge to draw something that I oughtn't, but the picture and scene popped into my head and it WON'T GO AWAY. DDDD: I'm not going to say what it is, in case it comes out badly, but let's just say that it's rated at least pg-13. For... Yaoi. o.o Betcha can't guess who between. xDDDD;;;;;;

(hint: no one from bleach. although my friend and I say that Aizen and Ullqui are totally... whatever.)

But yeah. It's great. I must draw it. If only because the pairing is so... Crack-ish. Like. Oh my God crack. Especially since I know for a fact both guys are straight. o.o;

I think I get the reference... It reminded me of, "HEY! TEACHER! LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE!" from that one song. xDD

Ugh. The race was killer. Payton (the seven-year-old) got a side-ache halfway through and I, being the wonderful person that I am, gave her a piggy-back... For the other half of the race. Joy! And then for the last hundred feet or so she was like, "Okay! I'm good!" And I let her down and she runs through the finish line. And I'm practically dead on my feet and so I kind of just shuffle through. xDDD It was great. My dad laughed at me.

I need to draw mooooooore. I haven't drawn very much in so long. Mostly I'm just reading Bleach. Because I'm a nerd. I need to write more of my story. Blehh.

New chapter of Iris is UP! Hope you like it, it's kinda semi-long. :> (sorry)
And now, AP test cramming time! =V=
:dies:

I love Bleach purely for the reason that it's amazing.

It has the greatest lines ever.

Although I think what I like best is that the translators actually curse and whatnot instead of saying 'darn' or something pansyish like that.

I SAW SPIDERMAN 3 AND IT WAS GREAT. Harry is... Hot. Oh my God. I practically melted from the force of his hotness. AND I SAW A TRAILER FOR HP5 AND IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE SUPER AWESOME. So I'm eagerly looking forward to it.

I have to go to bed now because I have to get up at 6.45 tomorrow morning for the crap reason that my dad entered me in some dumbass race. WHY DAD. WHY. I'm not looking forward to it. DDDDx Although I guess it's not terrible because the only person I have to keep up with is a seven-year-old girl. But blehhhh. I don't wanna.

I don't think I've used a single comma in this entire comment. GO ME.

That was the most amazing and adorable little kid poetry ever. xDDD

I love Hodgens. He's my favourite character on that whole show. HOW COULD ANGELA NOT WANT TO MARRY HIM. He's amazing! He's intelligent! He's freakin' rich, if that weren't enough! Imagine how many dresses he could buy... -goes into daydream mode-

I'm an idiot. I know.

I WANT BLEACH AND TSUBASA AND THEY'RE NOT UP AND/OR OUT. >(

Since I have the attention span of a hyperactive rodent, on the way to Photobucket I got caught up in Myspace, YouTube, and many other obscenely distracting websites. I'm an ADD poster-child.

Anyway. I KNOW PARTICLE ACCELERATOR! I saw something about it on TV the other day and got all excited because I knew what they were talking about! And my dad was like, "How do you know about a particle acelerator? I don't even know what it is!" And I just loftily respond, "It's because I read. Perhaps if you were to do the same you would have the same vast knowledge I've managed to accumulate." I worked as many big words into it as I could. xDD



o.o

That picture made me laugh. xD

And the 'comic book' setting was infinitely amusing...

I want to read more Bleach. DDDDD:

Blehh.

Today in Future Focus we seriously did nothing. We were all in the computer lab and we just played on the computer. The entire time. We were supposed to be doing this thing about colleges (it's a stupid class for stupid people). A select few people actually did the work, while the rest of us copied off them. Heheheheeee. We've learned how to shirk work. Then we played on PhotoBooth, which is this thing where you can take lots of pictures of yourself with the camera in the computer frame. Then you can say whether they should be in comic book style, inverted, light tunnel, heat thingy, whatever. So we basically did that the whole period. And played on the Interwebs. So much fun. Then we e-mailed all the best (stupidest) pictures of ourselves to... ourselves. Because we're losers.

I'm going to post the best ones. xDDD

Oh well now I have to change it to handsome.

I know! I'm so mad. fracken mad. I like how you type it. Seems very... Irish. fracken. fracken fracken fracken. Neehee. My family tree project is due on Friday and I've only drawn four of nine portraits. I really really really love Beatrix's. She's dressed as a 1920s flapper. And Carlisle is a mobster from Chicago! They live in Chicago. Yesss. I had forgotten to bring a pencil today though (I usually write in pen) and so I had to draw in Prismas. And thusly I couldn't erase. So Carlisle has a few mess-ups, as does everyone else... But at least Beatrix's are almost unnoticeable. I really love her portrait. I've already said that. But it's true.

I missed Bones because I forgot. Dammit fracken Janet. What'd I miss?

I know. o.o; I've been obsessed with reading Bleach online. xDD It's too good for its own... good. And also, the Schindler's List theme song is amazing. Check my YouTube. Yeah. I've been meaning to look for that song forever. This guy I know named Edward can play it awesomely well on the piano, and he plays the version that goes on and on and on... For like, ten minutes or something. Five? A helluva long time at any rate.

I'm so tiredddddd. BUT I WANT TO READ BLEACH AND LISTEN TO SCHINDLER'S LIST AND SDLFJSLKDFJLSDKJFS.

Sleep. Urgh.

I decided I didn't want to go to Anime club anyway and so I came home. It has absolutely nothing to do with me wanting to come home and read more Bleach. Never. What gave you that idea? >_>;

HAPPY MAY DAY

I want to draw a picture in celebration of May Day. It would be fun. Last night around midnight I had the sudden need to write down a short excerpt from something that happened when Gwen was around twelve-ish and August was 17-ish. August got into a big nasty fight with some older kids, and one of them had a knife, and since it was, like, 5 against 1 they won, and August had had his leg sliced pretty bad-- like, to the bone. Nearly severing the muscle. And the scene is where Gwen finds him and starts crying and freaking out because she thinks he's going to die. Which he's not, but he's losing a lot of blood and he's pretty badly beaten up, so she has a right to be upset. Then she kind of tells him off for not going straight home, and he says that he didn't want her to see him like this, blah blah blah. August didn't actually pick that fight, though, so it wasn't his fault at all. They kind of assaulted him. In a back alley. Because they were jerks. So Gwen used magic to heal him, but because she had only just started her training with the High Magician of Seresu a few months previous she'd never really had any practise healing wounds. She knew the concept, but she'd never actually done it before. So she gives it a shot and heals him, but now there's a 'thick, glossy scar where the open wound had been'. But in my stories healing is not a pleasant feeling, and in fact is described as kind of feeling like your skin is on fire. The magic kind of speeds the division of cells, making the body repair itself at hyperspeed, and the resulting cell transport and division creates discomfort. August was in a lot of pain already, though, so he describes it as 'excruciating'. Usually it starts out as merely rather uncomfortable, but it gets worse the longer it goes on-- which is why people often prefer to heal at the regular pace, because it can be very painful. Plus it drains your energy and most people feel fatigued for days afterward.

Enough about how much I obsess over my own little world in my head. o.o;;

I'm going to be a dork and leave a comment before I go to school. Blehh. I'm so freaking tired. I was very tempted to just roll over and go back to sleep after my alarm went off this morning. But I didn't. I'm still tempted to just crawl right back in bed, though. It certainly doesn't help that it's covered in thick warm blankets and it's all plush and if I close the blinds it's nice and dark and warm--

Stopping. Right now. I'm going to talk myself into skipping school today and just sleeping if I don't stop.

Anyway. So it's really cold right now. I'm in two jackets. And whoop-dee-dee, I get to go outside after this and walk the equivalent of three blocks to my bus stop, stand with a bunch of annoying kids until it comes, then sit on it and get to school and have to go to English and then Biology and then Drama and then Future Focus and sldkfjsldjflskjdf. At least we're doing our dance unit in Drama so I hopefully won't, like, die. Or collapse. Whichever comes first. Although then after school I have to go to Anime club because my dad's going to pick me up at the school and then take me to his friend's house so that we can eat dinner and blehhhhhhh. I WANT TO GO TO SLEEP. And this comment of complaining ends now.

Except I still want to read Bleach, and draw all the dozen pictures I have lined up in my head, and then sleep. SLEEEEEEEEEEP.

-becomes a zombie-

Umm... I know getsu means moon, but I don't know what the other word means. I'm not that smart in Nihongonese, sheesh. -_-;

My friend Anthony told me he was going to get me a dictionary for my birthday... I'll just have to specify and say I want a kanji dictionary. (I was having fun reading all the vocab words in my friend's vocab book for English... Apparently I annoyed him xDD) Because I know what I want August's to look like, but I don't know what I would call it. I like Gwen's, though. I'm going to do some specifications to both their designs, because I really don't have either in their... Finalised forms? I don't know really what I'm trying to say, but I do at the same time, and so yeah. But I need to draw more.

Especially since I still have nine portraits of my 'family' to do for Japanese. DD:

Oh well. Those hopefully won't take long.

Where do you read your Bleach? Just curious... I want to see if we use the same site. Assuming you're reading it online and not out of previously owned manga. o.o;

I WANT TO TAKE A SHOWER BUT I WANT TO LISTEN TO YOUTUBE AND WATCH MYTHBUSTERS AND KEEP READING BLEACH AND KAJFLSDJFLSKJDFLSKDJFLKSJDLFK. On Mythbusters they're doing a special on NINJA MYTHS DDD: I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I counted today during Japanese (since I have nothing better to do) how many pictures to draw that I've accumulated over the last two days. I have nine. Sweet God in heaven. WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF. Two are short mini comics and the others are little pictures that popped into my head while surfing DA... Have I already told you this? I have no short-term memory.

Oh my God. I love Matsumoto. I really do. She's so funny.

"Cry, cry, you poor thing! My breasts will stand up and beat down any amount of tears you can possibly produce!"

^Real line. xDDDDD

Now I want to draw people in their bankai form! D: I think I may have to now, since I got to thinking what August's would be and got a real nifty idea. Nifty-pifty. But yeah. I'm not going to describe it. But how's this-- I'll do Kitsune's if you do what you think August's would be? xD Yesss, trade!

I have been reading Bleach online for like the past three hours straight. Oh my God. I need a life. But it's SO DAMN GOOD.

OH my god. I just read something and thought that Kisuke had said something else and oadifhsldhflsdf. Died. Kisuke actually says, "Since you like to butt in so much..." But I misread it as "Since you like it in the butt so much..." And I kind of did a double take and was like "OH MY GOD KISUKE WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT" and then sort of just was like, "Oh. ...My bad." Then I started laughing really hard.

xDD;;;

You have no idea how hard you just made me laugh. "We aren't all rich boys like"... Oh my GOD that was hysterical. xDDDDDDDDD

And I'm ridiculously proud of myself right now because I could read EVERYTHING you'd written in that picture. Maybe today was a good day? It was so weird though! But gosh that was also way cute. And way true.

I love how often we curse. D:

Oh my fibblewobbles. Guess who I'm totally in love with?

Shinji.

From Bleach.

The guy who looks like Mello.

OH MY GOD IS HE AMAZING.

I got 21 on yesterday and I've kind of been obsessing about it because I really really really love Bleach. But Shinji. Oh my God. He's amazing. Obscenely so. And he has the greatest fashion sense. He's lkdjflksdjflsdjf amazing.

xD

NO YOU MAY NOT VISIT MY HUT-ON-THE-ROCK >:D

loljk.

Hahahaaa. I know what you mean, though. I go outside and I blind innocent lookers-on. I love to eat lunch outside with my Drama friends, Kolby especially, since he's dating one of my best friends, and I love to pull up the hem of my dress a bit and flash some very white leg at him, because not only does he joke that he's blinded, it makes Manda laugh that he gets all embarassed. We're all sadists. D:

I'm going to Kinokuniya in a bit hopefully... We've been packing forever. FOREVER forever. Because we're moving tons of stuff into storage to make room for Cristian's new 42" plasma TV. Why we need a TV that big is beyond me, but... Whatever. He's a boy who likes his toys.

I painted my nails yellow! I'm going to use the black that I also got to paint over them and make little bumblebees. I love bumblebees.

Last night I was surfing DA (since I like to) and I saved a crapload of favourites, along with getting lots of ideas for drawings and stuff. I also got ideas for two very short little comic things. August is the punchline in one, and either he or Quinn will be the punchline in the other. I really like Quinn. He doesn't have a very big part in my Tsubasa story yet, and he isn't in G+B yet at all, but he's still cool. I like him. While August, bless him, is a lot of comic relief, Quinn is much more serious and quiet. August is loud and raucous and joyful; Quinn is quiet, bookish, and serious. That isn't to say that's all he is, of course, because he and August are very good friends, but Quinn is much more mellow.

Yeah. xD;

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you like my Ikatsu pic. ^^

Um, 24... Um... Jack hijacked a car and went to meet Chang, the Chinese butthead (I haven't used that word since like fifth grade), but that other CTU agent whose name I forget basically interrupted the whole thing, messing up Jack's plan, and letting Chang get away with the techonology. Because he's stupid. Then it turns out that they made Audrey crazy or something, because the only thing she says now is "Help me Jack" or something like that, but when Jack tried to talk to her she kind of recognised him for a moment, and so Jack's like, "LET ME TALK TO HER I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP HER NOW OMG" and stuff. So yeah.

ALL the Disney princesses. Snow White especially. I have a sudden fascination with Snow White that I can't understand.

Oh my God. Look at [url=http://www.mangarun.com/bleach/bleach_232/[M7]Bleach-ch232-01%2602.jpg]this[/url], then look at this. I laughed so hard when I saw the second picture.

I have the sudden urge to draw Gwen as all the Disney princesses. Snow White and Aurora especially.

WHY AM I SUCH A NERD

And August as Prince Phillip! God I love Prince Phillip.

I've got it! For our birthdays, we're going to draw each other a surprise picture! We won't say what it's about, who's in it, or anything! We'll just draw it, colour it, make it AMAZING, and then present it to each other! It'll be amazing. What's the halfway point in between our birthdays? We should be finished by then and be able to present them to each other.

That would be so awesome. HAHA THIS JUST HAPPENED:

Mum: "This drink sort of tastes like creamsicle."
Cristian: "Know what else tastes like creamsicle?"
Me: "Creamsicle?"
Cristian: "Dammit, you stole my punchline!"

HAHA WE ARE DUMB.

We should do art trades for each other. o.o Or something.

That would be funny. xD

Darn you. >:(

I WANT A VANQUISH~~

I got the most adorable umbrella today. It's yellow. And it's for little kids. And on it, I kid you not, it says, "It' smart!" Apostrophe included. So it's obviously foreign. xDD

i wrote one of the ending scenes in my tsubasa story and it had me in tears. seriously. it was sad. it's the scene where the person dies. it's really very depressing.

OH MY GOD THE VANQUISH. MY FAVOURITE CAR EVER.

it's amazing. obviously. who's driving it? i must knowwww!

yeah, we obviously know each other too well, since we understand everything the other person says. regardless of we say it. like, we could say something like, 'hey, that guy from that thing had the cool thing!' and you'd know what i meant. i don't mean anything by that in particular, though, so yeah. xD but you know what i mean.

haha you do know me too well. xDD yeah, i didn't really notice that his keyblad was unsymmetrical... but from what i remember i don't remember it as unsymmetrical. wow. i used 'unsymmetrical' and 'remember' a lot.

i'm watching csi. i love this show. it's great. the killer makes miniature models of the crime scene for every murder he commits, down to the tiniest detail. it's so cool.

i'm going to try and find/buy some tarot cards so that i can reference them and draw new, better ones. :DD

ahh, and no wonder i couldn't remember where sora wore a crown. xDD haha. i was all confused because i'm sure i'd remember something like that.

ew i would scream if i saw that. DDD:

haha, no, 18 just came out in english-- i was reading 20 in japanese. and i realised with a shock that i could understand the entire first page! it's amazing! i felt intensely smart. and by the way i think i might be able to go to uwajimaya tomorrow and so yeah. i want to get more bleach because i love bleach. and also i want tsubasa 18. and i want 19, 20, 21, 22, et cetera, but they aren't out yet. D< i wonder how long trc will be? it's their longest series yet...

haha, i thought the same thing when i read that! poor cellists. natalie and nick are both cellists.

in japanese our current project is to make a family tree, and they said we could make up an entire family, so i did! nikolas and jane are my parents; august, gwen, gedric, and bellatrix are my siblings (august = 21, gedric = 19, bella = 17, gwen = 16); and i made up grandparents. their names are beatrix (i just really wanted to use that name somewhere) and carlisle (hahalolomg). whee. so yeah. i am my friend abby's cat! it's great fun. this one guy in my class has a family entire consisting of pokemon characters. i'm another guy's little sister. and it's generally more fun than it probably ought to be. i'm going to draw what all of my people look like, too, but in their prime-- like, carlisle and beatrix aren't going to be old, since i'm drawing how they would look in their early twenties or so, but i'm colouring it in sepia to make it look like an old photograph. same with nikolas and jane.

toolazytopressshift.

so i'm listening to idioteque by radiohead, which is the song that tite kubo based uryu ishida off of. it's actually a really good song. i liiiiike it. and i've been listening to it pretty much nonstop. and i need to delete those other carmina burranas off my youtube. blehh.

yay!! i'm so glad that sora will be in it! i would be so mad if it didn't have at least some of the original characters it in. i mean sheesh.

we watched a movie in future focus that didn't really have anything to do with what we were learning, and it had sean connery in it. and my friends and i made joke after joke about him. he's old, scottish, and totally badass. in the kind of way that chuck norris is badass. and he's just so much fun to joke about. we made our substitute mad since we wouldn't shut up. xDD

ohhhh. i did this bulletin on myspace where it was like, there would be a question like, 'what is your name?' or 'how tall are you?' and you'd go into yahoo images and type in the answer, and choose an image from the first page, and put it in the bulletin as the answer. it was dreadfully fun.

i was reading bleach yesterday and i got all excited about it. i love volume 20. so much stuff happens. it's so great.

Haha. In my Tsubasa story a lot of characters cry. Gwen had cried (because she may not seem like it but she's rather easily driven to tears), Fay has cried, August has cried, even Kurogane has cried. xDD But all the boys so far have only cried once, and Kuro's was because of... Hell. I'll post the story except. It's actually an entire chapter in my story. xD But here:

Kurogane was back home. But he wasn't, he knew, because he was in Seresu, in the strange, plush bed that was elevated off the floor in Gwen's house. Thus, he was certain he was dreaming.

However, it was nice, this dream. It smelled like home.

He missed Nihon. He missed the grounds of Shirasaki castle, the nighttime strolls, guard duty, his bed, even the simple pleasure of sitting outside on a nice day and sharpening Ginryu. What he missed most, though, had to be Tomoyo. He supposed that his affection for his princess was similar to August's affection for his Queen; both were the only family the men knew. Kurogane missed her smile, her charm, the way she laughed when she played tricks on her ninjas. Even just her presence.

As if summoned by his thoughts, Tomoyo herself appeared from nowhere.

"Tomoyo?" Kurogane asked hesitantly. There was something about this dream, he realised. It seemed very... Real. Tangible. Like it was more than just his imagination at work.

"Hello, Kurogane," she said. Yes, this was his Tomoyo. Suddenly he realised what was going on.

"You're... It's really you. You're visiting me in my dream," he said, eyes widening. She smiled more widely.

"Correct." She fixed the alignment of her kimono before addressing him again.

"Do you know why I'm here, Kurogane?" she asked seriously. He nodded. The curse. Of course.

"Do you have anything to say for yourself? An explanation?"

"The guy was about to kill Gwen. Too many people rely on her, and... Her death would be worse than me losing some of my strength. I knew what killing that man meant, and I accept the consequences of my actions." Tomoyo raised her eyebrows.

"Do you regret it?" she inquired quietly. Kurogane had thought about it... If there had been another way, then perhaps he would feel regret, but at the time, there had been no other option. On the battlefield it was kill or be killed.

"No," he said firmly. "I don't."

"Would you do it again?"

"...Yes." Kurogane knew that if he were presented with the same circumstances, he would make the same choice. There was nothing he could have done. Suddenly Tomoyo looked very, very happy.

"That's just what I wanted to hear," she said proudly.

"What?"

"The curse that I put on you was one that prevented you from taking unnecessary life. You heard it as everytime you killed someone, your strength would diminish. I did it purposely to make you think that. The time when someone else's life meant more to you than your strength, even for just a moment, was the time that you could kill not for your own agenda, but to help someone else. And so, I am here to lift the curse."

"Are you serious?" breathed Kuro, aghast.

"Quite," Tomoyo smiled. "But first, I have a question for you." She paused. "Do you want to come home?"

"Yes," he answered instantly.

"I can take you home right now, should you wish it. Do you want me to bring you home, Kurogane?"

Such a dilemma Kurogane had never faced. He wanted more than anything to be home in Nihon again, to see his fellow ninja, to be around people who understood him. That was, after all, his wish. But then he thought about Syaoran, the kid who would do anything to save his princess. Sakura, who was young, innocent, sweet, caring... Fai, Gwen, August; he could not abandon them. He'd always believed that the instant Mokona landed in Nihon it would be a goodbye, and that he wouldn't miss them. But thinking about it, goodbyes were harder than he'd realised.

"I'm sorry, Tomoyo," he said. He set his mouth in determination. "My wish is still to return home, but I can't leave them now. The kid needs help collecting the feathers. As much as he'd like to believe, he can't do it alone, and so until the time the manjuu takes me to Nihon I'll stay with them." Tomoyo looked surprised for a moment, then smiled even wider.

"I'm glad you said that." She chuckled. "If you hadn't, I would have assumed that you didn't learn your lesson fully, and I would have left the curse. But since you answered as you did, the curse comes off." She waved her hand, and suddenly Kurogane felt a great weight lift off of him, leaving him feeling lighter than air.

"Thank you, Tomoyo," he said. "I will be back home, mark my words."

"Oh Kurogane," whispered Tomoyo, her beaming smile radiant. The tears in her eyes were tears of utmost joy as she slowly walked toward him. "I am very, very proud of you." She reached up with her small hands, pulling his face to her level and kissing his forehead. She hugged him tightly around the neck, chuckling all the while.

Kurogane woke from his dream, and realised the tears on his cheeks were his own.


Heheheee. I love making people cry. >:D

Okay. The song Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T's is amazing, and you should listen to it. It's on my YouTube. Oh and, you may notice that I have a ton of Carmina Burranas on there, but I'm going to delete all except the most recent two, so yeah. The 300 one and the sheet music. I like to sing along to it. xDD It's so much fun.

And also. 151 is one of the cruelest chapters yet. The ending mainly. Urghhhh. DO SOMETHING KUROGANE. Although half of me says not to because I'd like to see how it would make Fay act, if-- um, just read it. xDD I think the next chapter doesn't come out until like the ninth or something. DDD: I CAN'T WAIT TWO frackING WEEKS, CLAMP.

Okay. My friend Hillary is in love with August, and my friend Abby is in love with Gedric. xDD I've been telling Abby about my story plot for Gedric and Bella and she's been really enjoying it. We call it the epic plot since it's been two days on the bus ride home and I still haven't finished explaining it all. And I explain straight through the entire ride. Which is like 20 minutes. It's great fun.

May I pick multiple people? Because I want to. So I will. And if you won't let me, then they're all directed at Kitsune.

1. Pick one of my characters, any one (even if you don't know their name and I've only drawn them somewhere before).
2. I will tell you the origin of his/her name. [to Kitsune-- all of her names, not just Kitsune]
3. I will tell you random facts surrounding his/her creation. [to Shruikan]
4. I will give you a random fact of his/her backstory. [to Kitsune]
5. I will give you a random fact of his/her forestory. [to Leon! because I like that guy.]
6. You may ask me up to ten questions about the character (but if a question is too spoiler-y I may not respond).
1. [Kitsune] Where is your father, currently? If you don't know, where should he be, or where would you like him to be? (don't give me some 'he's where he should be' or 'he's home' type of bullshoot xD)
2. [Kitsune] What are the pseudonyms you've had in the past?
3. [Leon] What purposes, if any, do your tattoos and top hat have? (haha, I just like them xD)
4. ... Um. I'll ask more later. If I can think of more. Because right now I can't.

NOW YOU HAVE TO DO THE SAME FOR ME.

AND I THINK THAT TSUBASA 151 IS OUT TODAY. SO I HAVE TO GO CHECK.

There is no Paint on this computer and it won't let it me change it otherwise. DDDDD;

But I have the pics up on here (finally), and I'm off to post them on DA!

Haha, this wasn't the icon I originally wanted. I'm going to waste everyone's time and now post all the icons I tried that, for some reason, wouldn't work:









Yeah. I love that last one for reasons unbeknownst to me; I just really love it. Perhaps because it has to do with Adonis, which is a myth that I'm rather fond of. Yes. That must be it. Plus it's a cool picture.

So, uhm. Yes. I'm going to do that questions thing. I've been meaning to do it, actually, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. But I will do it. I also have to post my pictures... I'm going to do that now. After I post a bulletin on MySpace asking if anyone knows when Mr and Ms Cav starts tonight... It's kind of like a talent show thing. Like Miss America or something. Only juniors and seniors can be in it. But yeah. I'm excited but I don't know when it starts.

So yeah.

Haaa! I found the picture that inspired my August picture!



Yayy. xDD I saw it and was like 'NO WAYY' because I didn't think I was going to find it again. But I did! Woooo! So yeah, I drew August in a pose similar to that. Yeah. Originally his tattoo was supposed to be in the same place as that guy's, but it didn't work out that way. xD; So it's on his bicep instead.

Yeah. I need to change my icon again. I will after I post this. But today I was on Gaia and I saw this really cool picture of a guy, and I got a picture in my head of August in a similar pose (it happens a lot) and I drew it all in pen. Urhghhhh. I hate drawing in pen. But I did. And it looks good. :00 And so you should see it sometime. Because I like it. It's him, facing the viewer, with only the top half of his torso showing, and his eyes are closed, and he's kind of got his arm across his chest... It's hard to explain. I'm gonna see if I can find the picture I sort of referenced from. But then on August's arm is the word 'GUENEVERE' in all caps, in plain black letters. Haha tattoos. Originally it was going to be on his chest, but uh, it didn't work out. xD

Haha, true, yeah. I'll call you sometime after dinner and before CC to finalise stuff. xDD; But d'you think it'll work, just as a sort of reaffirmation?

Call me sometimes between now and seven if it's all right for us to pick you up tonight... If it would work out, that is. Because it's sort of probably good for me to know. xDD

Brein is an inside joke with myself. Which shows how pathetic I am. Hahahahhaaaa.

Okay. I haven't told you this yet. So my dad's friend Angela has a seven-year-old daughter who I guess is absolutely in love with me, because every time she sees me or hears I'm coming over, she gets ridiculously excited, and every time I leave she cries. xDD It's really cute. Her name is Payton. We went to Borders together today. I was trying to read New Moon, since Hillary has my copy right now, but Payton kept telling me about the book she was reading. It was about a ladybug. So I'm trying to feign interest while reading about Felix and Demetri (pretty much coolest names ever, btw) coercing Alice and Edward to bring Bella to see Aro, Caius, and Marcus. Dear God I've read these books too often. Then Jane is using her gift to torture Edward, while Alec is angry, and Bella's like 'wtf'. And Payton's like, "Look! Kelsey! The ladybug is trying to pick a fight with the whale!" Only she can't read very well yet, so she makes up half the story by following the pictures. It's really funny. But I'm trying to read about Edward, and missing Carlisle since I adore him, and missing Emmett and Jasper too, since they're just great.

I am such a freaking nerd.

Anyway. So do you think it will work for tomorrow? That is, for me to swing by and pick you up around... 8.30, 9? Tell me if so, tell if not... And if not, there'd better be a damn good reason why. (partially kidding.)

Have I told you I'm rereading Eldest? It's pretty fantasmic. On another note, I often think up conversations, scenarios, and little sub-plots that I would love to include somewhere in some story. Often I'll think of a single sentence, or paragraph, that has nothing to do with any story I'm currently working on. Such as the one I thought up a day or two ago. It's about someone who's being bullied into running errands for the Chicago mafia in the 1920s. I wrote it down so that I wouldn't forget, but it was seriously, like, two sentences. It's kind of frustrating, because I think of stuff like that all the time, and have no use for it. >:|

I need to start going to bed earlier. Like, I fall asleep around one or so in the morning, usually wake up some time during the night, and then get up at seven the next morning. Usually I wake up at around six first, then since it's already kind of light outside, I have a hard time getting back to sleep. Very frustrating. Then when it's time to get up I'm absolutely exhausted and dead on my feet until about third period, when I sort of recover. Then when ten PM rolls around again, I'm wide awake. And thus the cycle continues. Why, brain? Why must you be so cruel to me? Dx

I think I want to write about a mafia plot now. That would be cool. Haha, if I ever become a writer for real, all of my books will somehow have August in them, probably. He's my favourite of any character I've ever invented.

I officially hate this keyboard. It's total crap. I have to, like, pound on the keys to get them to pick up all the letters. Then again, perhaps I am used to allowing my fingers to merely flutter over the keys, like I am able to on my mother's computer. This keyboard is just infuriating. I'm used to being able to type quickly, and if I have to press hard on each key it really slows me down. DD:

Ugh. We had an assembly yesterday about not getting into car crashes. It had some very cool pictures. Like, brains coming out of noses cool. But I was a good little girl and went to the frosh/soph assembly, instead of going to the junior/senior assembly like a lot of people-- I really wish I had, though, because their assembly had, like, a real-time reenactment. With real fake blood. And carnage. And crushed cars. And ambulances and fire trucks! And it was supposed to be, like, 'don't drink and drive before or after prom!' since prom is coming up soon, and so there was a 'dance' thing. And then there was loud squeals and a crash. And kids as the actors all bloodied and mangled. I really wish I'd've gone. DDDD:

Yeah, it makes sense... Haha. xDD I'm doing the same thing with G+B, remember? Starting with a scene that's near the end... Stephenie Meyer did the same thing with Twilight. She wrote the scene in the meadow first, then finished it (I think), then went from the beginning. I have a jar of lotion on my head. It's been hailing a lot lately. While I was walking home (since I have sort of a lengthy walk from where my bus drops me off to where the apartment is-- not nearly comparable to yours, but whatevs) it was raining, and so to excercise my breins I was describing it as poetically as possible. It's sort of a thing I do as an excercise for my writing skillz. It helps my breins stay fresh. Anyway. So while I was doing that, both of my hoods pulled firmly over my ears (I was wearing a hoodie under a windbreaker), I thought of a pretty darn cool sentence. It just kind of popped into my head. I was describing the rain happily, angrily, sadly, in confusion; lots of moods to strain myself. Since I guess I'm a masochist. While I was on melancholy/blase/dark, I came up with, "The oppressive, dark mass pressed down with heavy hands; its deluge clouded the air with mist. Its victims huddled under hoods and umbrellas, attempting futily to find some semblence of comfort under such shoddy shelters." It was better than that, but that's the general idea. It's great fun to describe your surroundings when you have nothing better to do.

I think mother knows that you're coming over this weekend. I need to remind her, though, since she tends to forget things like that. I hope it doesn't rain this weekend. That would suck if it did. Not that I really mind the rain, but I enjoy my walks, and don't feel like being rained on. Since we'll probably be walking to the theatre to see 300. And if we're wet when we get there, we'l be wet while were in there, and theatres for some reason are rather cold. I don't like being cold and wet. Wet? Fine. Cold? Tolerable. Both at the same time? DDx;;

I still have a lotion jar on my head.

OH MY GOD TSUBASA. I hadn't noticed it was out yet... Or rather, I hadn't checked the sight yet, nor had I checked the KuroxFay LJ comm. And thusly, I hadn't noticed. xDD But SNAP that was a cool chapter. Although now I need 151 to complete the conversation, because Clamp is evil and enjoys torturing their fans. Hahaaaaa... Today I was looking through volume 14 in study hall, for lack of anything better to do (and my friend had just returned it to me), and I realised, "WHOA. They changed the groups around!" Because I've been reading a bit of X lately, out-of-order, primarily just to get the gist of the story. And I didn't even notice that Kamui and Fuuma were leading the opposite groups in TRC that they did in X. Hahahaha.

Know who looks impossibly adorable in glasses? FAY DOES!

Which marks the best news ever. TSUBASA ARTBOOK. OH MY GOLLY WOBBLES. So now I have to drag mother and Cristian to Kinokuniya ASAP so I can snag it, along with volume 18 (19?) if it's out. No waaiiiit. 19 just ended. 18, then. And it'd better be out. Or else I'm kidnapping... Someone. Until I get it. >:D

You're coming over this weekend whether you like it or not. If it comes to it, I'll kidnap you or something. The way I was thinking we could work this is that on the way to mother's house Friday night, dad and I could pick you up-- it would be kind of later, though, since that night we have Comedy Cafe and my friends will murder me if I'm not there. It's kind of a Drama thing. You're either there, or you're ostricised. (not to be confused with ostrich-sized) Jokingly, of course, but yeah. It's a big deal in the Drama department.

So, uh. After that (it starts at 7.19 pm, and lasts an hour to an hour and a half) we could swing by and pick you up. The reason why is that I may have to go see a play with one of my friends at 7-ish on Saturday night, since it's the last time it's being performed on stage in Oregon or something.

My mother is so infuriating. She's like, "YOU HAVE TO GET NO Fs IF YOU WANT TO GO WITH US ON THE TRIP THIS SUMMER" and I'm like, "Well, frack, mom. You could've told me BEFORE I decided that math class was dumb." Because I'm sort of failing it. And my dad is yelling at me to get off the computer, because apparanty his needs are greater than mine, and so yeah.

Alice is nineteen. xDD Carlisle is 23, Emmett and Jasper are 20, Rosalie is 18, Edward obviously 17, and Esme is 26. Poor Edward. He's the youngest. In age of creation, though, I think it's... Carlisle, Jasper, Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, and Esme. I think. That sounds right. Carlisle didn't actually make Jasper, or Alice, though. They just found him. And yeah. I'm insanely dweebalicious.

I have such a guy's sense of humour. Like, I was talking about 300 (because I seriously do adore that movie) to my guy friends, and I guess I surprised them by saying that the battle scenes were my favourite parts, or something. And plus I laugh at all the gross/immature/perverted jokes boys just love to tell. So yeah. They called me a guy in a dress. xDD

You get no clues whatsoever. I want the ending to be a complete surprise. And I was just about to say something, but then I realised that it could potentially give it away. If you understood it, and combined it with how I think. Which, since yu've known me for upwards of a decade now, probably wouldn't be very difficult.

I actually know someone who's 4' 10". She's the cutest little thing. She barely comes up to my collarbone. xDD And she's older than me, too...

So, do you want to see 300 this weekend? If so, then we should totally go, because let me tell you. It's amazing. It had me so excited. I wanted to write, like, this huge, apocolyptic battle scene that accumulated the mechanics of every battle the Spartans were in. It was dreadfully exciting.

Okay, I'll give you a hint to the end of my Tsubasa story... I'm pretty sure you've gotten it before, but I'll remind you. It involves character death. :D But not who you might think... Take that how you will. >:D

But about the xxxHolic girl... She reminds me of Alice mainly in personality. Also physically, to a certain extent, but mainly personality-wise. That girl is just so darn cute. x33

Oh my gash. That is rather frightening. xD; It does totally sound like Artemis Fowl. Haha, that would be funny if the perpetrator were Eoin Colfer. Not realistic, perhaps, but amusing nonetheless.

I wrote a very amusing little scene for my G+B story... It's actually not amusing, but it was fun to write. Ged and Bella are yelling at each other. Bella is frustrated by the fact that Gedric can't seem to control his temper, and Gedric is frustrated that Bella can't seem to understand why he's so angry in the first place. It's mostly due to Gabriel-- he's just so darn good at provoking his son with very little effort on his part. I adore Gabriel. He's such a slimy little git. But he more than makes up for it with his sharp charm and endless wit. Hahahaaaaa. If I'm ever published, he will have a lot of fangirls, I'm guessing... It also doesn't hurt that he's devilishly handsome. Every good villian should be, after all.

But yeah. If my story were ever made into a movie, I would probably want Jude Law to play Gabriel... That would just be awesome. And they'd have to get a really hot guy to play Gedric, but make him less attractive for the first half or so... Hmm. Whatever. I'm not going to think about that. xD;

I haven't drawn a girl other than Gwen in quite a long time... Mostly I've been drawing hot guys for my friends. It's deliciously fun, so I wouldn't dream of complaining, but I really should draw more women before I forget how. xDD Which would suck. Just for reference, I've figured out the general heights of my characters... August and Quinn are both around 6' 2" or 6' 3", Gwen is about 5' 10" (she's tall), and Beatrix is about 5' 8". Gwen is taller and more willowy than Beatrix, who, rather, is smaller and curvier. (Which, coincidentally, is August's type of woman, which is partially why he likes her so much-- to him, she's totally hot. Hehehe.) Gwen has boobs, yes, and hips-- however, she is more straight down in proportions. Not really. But more so than Beatrix.

Just as a side note, it would be so kickass to be a secret agent. Like James Bond. Damn that would be awesome.
