I lurve to write and I lurve to comment on writing; if there is a particular work you want me to look at, don't be afraid to let me know and I would love to comment on it. Though I'm not a poet and, therefore, do not write poetry, I have knowledge of the basis of poetry and what has worked for great poets. In prose, I tend to mark on grammar, organization, and style. In return, I'm hoping about 20% of the ppl I check for will read at least part of and comment on my Sanctuary Dark . . . after I'm done doing MASSIVE edits XDDD!

Don't you agree that this is a great quote? ^^

"Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever!

There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did!

And because I did I'm going to celebrate!
Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make me stronger.

I will go through this day with my head held high, and a happy heart.

I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts: the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds.

Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice.

Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people. I'll make someone smile.

I'll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone I don't even know.

Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down.

I'll tell a child how special he is, and I'll tell someone I love just how deeply I care for them and how much they mean to me.

Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have and start being grateful for all the wonderful things God has already given me.

I'll remember that to worry is just a waste of time because my faith in God and his Divine Plan ensures everything will be just fine.

And tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and raise my eyes to the heavens.

I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon, and I will praise God for these magnificent treasures.

As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow, I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life.

And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child, excited with expectation because I know tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!"

Kupo on
KupoIdk. Trying to figure out the camera situation finally now, but it's being all crappy at me >.> It needs power or something I think. Yes yes, definitely better than nothing.

Yeah. The main thing you want to take note of is the way it transitions from sticking up to down.

Yeah, but yours are a lot more fantasy than mine. Mine aren't even what you'd call original characters in the normal sense because they don't have the detailed outfits and stuff, they're just normal people like anyone else except they only exist within the strange societies of my mind. Yours have distinctive designs and all that jazz, and if you wrote about them or made a manga or whatever, it would take place in a much more creative and fantasy-esque world than mine.

I've never ever drawn them, but they do change, because when they are "in my head" it means I think about them all the time. Just a little soap opera, always playing when I'm bored or trying to get to sleep or whatever. That's why they're not here now and why I keep resisting them even though talking about them is making me want to let them in; they are very distracting. And they stay for months at a time because I get addicted to having something to zone out to like that and then eventually I get sick of it and/or run out of material for them so I get bored of it and I make them leave. A few times they've faded away on their own, but that is rare.

oh yuck!!! My spanish tests are always pretty darned easy, and they don't ask those uber crappy culture questions. I just know about those cuz they had them on the Letter K test (it's like this thing they only ask you to take if you're uber good so they can award you if you're in the top 1% of that class) last year. There was this one that was like "The (something or other spanish word I don't remember) is a: A. Mexican pop band... B. Spanish tomato throwing festival..." lol yeah. It's not like they even teach you that crap in class.

Ugh yeah that totally sucks. Studying sucks, hard tests suck even worse. But like you said, at least you're done now ^^

Exactly. Bad enough having to bs answers you didn't quite catch in the first place, but when you're not even sure what the question is you know you're in trouble. I'm not even worried that much about the World History one now or how scary it will be or anything like I might've been before, because I know that I can at least guess better than I could on the spanish and that's something. Nothing will ever be as hard as that spanish crap. (I heard today that last year this one girl who's really really good at spanish and has a spanish family and everything only got a 4 out of 5 on the test, while some French student who didn't even know that much and had never been to France or anything got a 5 on the French test. How unfair is that? The spanish test is just impossible!)

Yikes!! Good luck!!!!
and yes, chemistry sux.

lol thanks for the suggestion but it would probably be pretty hard to get much out of the story if I only read that much a day ^^' You're right though, since you had to translate it in the first place it probably won't be too hard ^^

And actually the whole Eragon thing just might work out. I've read about 20 pages now, and it's going along pretty smoothly, because I've read the beginning in English more than once anyway, so I already have a pretty good idea of what's going on, so I don't really need to look up many words, even though if I didn't already know what was happening I would have to look up a ton.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I really do know sort of a lot it's just kinda, well actually mostly it's just that I'm sick of it, but that's just cuz I'm totally sick of all school right now, because there's only 17 days left and I've never been more ready for it to end. The other thing though, aside from that is the whole "The more I know, the more I realize I don't know" thing, but I also know I have the potential to get over it and know enough not to feel so lost, so whatever. Just keep swimming, I guess.

wow, sweet! You'll be enjoying the summer a while before me. My last day is the 3rd. And yah, I super hope they fix it soon too.

sorry, will deal with pic comment chains later, bedtime now ^^

Same here. But actually, I had drawn Ryan during my church service. I do doodle during classes.. except for Science... (my teacher is creepy and weird)

KupoWell yeah, there are cameras at my house, and one a these days I'll get one a my sibs to show me how to get pics from the camera to the comp, but on my own I'm pretty hopeless >.> And unmotivated. Cuz let's face it, the quality sucks on camera'd pics. Everyone complains about their scanner, cuz yes, all scanners eat everything but even then it's so much better than taking pics of your pics.

Oh I know right! Yeah, a lot of them are like that, but the thing about Axel's that is so annoying is that it is deceptively simple, so you think you can do it and should be able to do it no ref and then you can't understand why that doesn't work but it's so easy with a reference. There's just this certain thing about the way it spreads from his head that somehow isn't that easy to consciously realize even when drawing it, but until you do specifically take note of it you can't do it w/o a ref.

Yeah, I wasn't really all that into video games as a kid. Just movies I guess. Wasn't all that into fantasy either, which is probably why my characters are all from vaguely realistic pretend societies instead of anything really out there or having focus on cool animals or anything. I wish my stuff was more fantasy based, I think that'd be really cool (actually, I'll prolly try to get them to be the next time they're in my head. I can do that sometimes, just sometimes they won't let me control them. Hard to say at the moment, they haven't visited in a while) but the backdrop of my mind just isn't all that fantasy oriented deep down.

Cool for you ^^ Like I said, mine have been long suspended so they don't really have visible influence over anything I've done. They probably change a lot about the way I think, but I've never even made a satisfactory visual representation of them, so idk.

lol I don't even remember my last checkup ^^' I really hate 'em though anyway.

oh. !Buena Suerte!

I know, I know. I normally don't freak out about tests either, but normally I know a lot of stuff, they don't matter as much, and I'm familiar with how the test will go. This was a completely new experience and oh my gosh you should've seen how bad I was freaking out this morning. I don't know if I've ever been that nervous about anything, that unable to tell myself to calm down and that I can do it if I focus. Ooh and it was so hard too!! Oh my gosh I...just idk I really hope you're not meant to be able to do all that, that total success is only for super spanish freaks, and I just have to think that maybe I did okay but I don't know and it was so hard! All the listening was like "What?!" and just they talked so fast and I only caught little clips and phrases that might've helped me if it'd been multiple choice, but not nearly enough to cite for an essay or the 2 minute speaking part!! Oh well though. It's over and I'm okay and it sucks cuz I don't get my score until the middle of the summer but hey it's done and now I can just calm down and get over it.

...and study to do the same thing again next week for world history, of course. (Eh? scary) But hey, at least that'll be in English!

Well yay! I love it when that happens! ^_^ well, not having to guess formulas, but y'know, when you do and it works ^^

Mm yeah, that's a good idea. Reading in spanish es muy dificil though. Always very annoying. I warn you that I'll probably go into it with vigor and give up pathetically soon -_-' (tried to read Eragon in spanish ayer. didn't work out very well. Of course, that was also cuz I was kinda preoccupied with swimsuit shopping at the time (omg I got my first ever bikini!))

Honestly though, I kinda don't even want to take spanish next year. Of course, that's what I thought last year too and I very nearly didn't sign up for it until I found out I needed it for distinguished achievement graduation, so idk, I'm silly and I really do like the language and don't want to forget it. It's just, I'm tired of it being so easy in class but so hard in real life. When am I going to know enough for it to feel worthwhile?

o rly? I never get the emails anymore!! Like for anybody! Seriously, I'm really wondering how many of my friends and favorites have been posting stuff without me even knowing, cuz like yesterday I actually got an email about neverbenormal and I checked her gallery just out of curiosity, and she's posted like 15 things without me getting a notice until that one!

KupoHm, yeah I guess that would be weird to draw with a ref after not for so long. idk, I have no standards at all at the moment as far as references go. Sometimes drawing from real life, sometimes (rarely anymore, actually, but sometimes) from flat refs, sometimes whimsically from nothing, and more than ever before learning to plot it out ahead of time in my mind and draw from that. I wish I could post stuff here that I draw cuz I've actually been very artistically productive lately.

Don't worry though, once you learn how to draw them you don't really need a ref anymore anyway, and most of them are pretty simple. Axel's a pain though. It took me a very long time to learn to draw him no ref, and even then sometimes it just doesn't work. Kinda the same for Roxas too, actually. Sometimes it's really easy sometimes it just won't look right at all.

Sora comic? Yai ^^ I uber luvs him :D

Cooler, huh. Neat ^.^ Hmm, I feel like maybe a very very very long time ago I might've had animal chars along with the humans, but I can't specifically remember. Before my own characters formed though, I remember making stories based on Disney's XP Aladdin and Jasmine ftw! lol

You know, when I was younger I thought it was really weird to have characters in my head like that. In fact, I thought it was really weird until a little more than a year ago and I never ever told anyone about it, until I read all the stuff on Stephenie Meyer's site about how Bella and Edward were the voices in her head and all that. I just thought I was some kind of freak for years until then, but now the more I find out about it, the more references to that type of thing I read and the more people I talk to who also experience it, it seems that it's actually the biggest stamp of creativity.

Yeah, I like never go to the doctor. I just kinda figured it was some kinda long cold thing too. Cuz the flu only lasts a week right? And I don't think people normally lose their voice from it. When I had it though, it never made me feel all that bad. But then again, I just about never get all that sick. Except for now, but hey, I think I'm getting over it. ...finally...

Is yours for Spanish too?

Well I know I've learned a lot I'm just not sure if it'll be enough. Thanks though, and your confidence means a lot to me ^^ I just...I need to...just how can I improve my vocabulary and all that jazz enough in this one last day of possible studying to really make a difference? I'm not as worried about it as I was though, because I have this friend, Nicole, who's like a total uber genius (no, really, she's number freaking 4 out of the 741 kids in our grade. shyah!) and actually in spanish 4, so if anyone is gonna pass this thing, and someone will, it'll be her, and since I last talked to you I've studied a little with her out of this ridiculously hard study book that makes me want to rip out all my hair and give up, but in the end I've done as well or slightly better (and I mean very slightly, but the fact remains) than her on all the practices we've done. So she can do it and maybe if she can do it I can do it ^^'

As for the story, yeah, I'd love to read it, but unless you get this and post it tonight it'll be too late for studying purposes ^^'

Kupomm yes that does sound familiar. odd... ^^ Why is that your pic anyway? :P

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. Deep deep down inside my mind there are 2 characters named Abbie and Jack who I have had since forever and ever, and their personalities, behavior, and even life stories really have changed a lot over the years. Things that I've decided are immoral over time have forced me to reshape them because deep down they're a part of me and can't be doing that even if it suits the way I set them to be originally. Huh. It's funny, I never really even thought about Abbie and Jack while I talked to you about oc's before, but just now I did and now like everything applies.

And yeah I hate gaia chars too. Not really original and serve no purpose but to totally stretch out a persons profile. ugh.

lol yeah maybe so >.> I think my voice is coming back though! Yayz ^^ ppl keep telling me I probably have bronchitis but I'm pretty sure that's not it cuz my sister has that and her symptoms are completely different. What do you think we got? Just a cold or something maybe...? Maybe even flu, idk.

OMG The spanish AP test is next Tuesday!! I'm so scared I'm totally gonna fail and then I'm gonna feel like such a moron for even signing up for it and it'll just be a waste of money and I'm so freaked out and how can I try to prepare and just omg omg omg!! Ugh, and I was so just gonna give it my all and not worry about it but all the actual spanish 4 students are so stressed about it that it's totally rubbing off double on me. They're all uber freaked out and they've actually been in the class doing all that hard crap all year! What have I done? !Nada! I know some crap, sure, but does that mean I can totally just disregard a YEAR of practice?? I don't know I don't know. But then again that was the idea. Gah, just wish me luck.
