To start, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TSURUGA REN!!!!
I was going to draw something for his birthday but....I haven't had any time lately so I'll prolly do something this weekend.
I only recently got into reading Skip Beat but I'm completely in love with it now. One of my all time favorite shoujo manga. (actually one of my all time fav manga's period....)
The style its done in is a 90's shoujo style, I believe, and its a little hard to get used to. It overexaggerates a lot of 'key attractive features'. And while it does take some time to get used to, I've fallen in love with it. It's been really affecting how I draw. Not that I overly mind. I enjoy trying out new styles and playing with them.

School really hasnt picked up so far as assigned homework and I highly doubt it will. I'm currently ignoring my other four courses and trying really hard to ignore the dark pit of nerves and general freak out currently knotted in my stomach. Actually I should work on my jap now.... and contact my tutor for test preps. AND I should be doing scholarship applications. And I should be completeing the mile long list of art requests. Gawd, Im so lazy.

Everything will get completed eventually! probably....

So the long weekend is almost over but it doesnt feel like I've had any time to relax at all.
We moved this weekend so saturday was spent finishing packing and sunday was spent moving. I'm hurting in places I'd forgotten I had  > w <
But it wasnt all bad. Despite the sore muscles and the interesting looking bruise growing on my arm, I quite enjoyed myself.
The weather was good and the two guys from my school I asked to help pulled through. I was a little iffy about it honestly; I thought they might end up bailing. But they proved themselves to be very reliable and a huge help (as well as very polite....).
Not like I had a problem with it. One of them is the guy I currently like and it was fun watching him move stuff.

My new room is slightly smaller than my old room and I've had to downsize so far as furniture is concerned. I'm also going to need to get rid of a bunch of old stuff i never use anymore. But thats alright. No one likes a pack rat...

School is getting tiresome already. I have two art classes this semester and I'm learning a lot. But a lot of what I'm learning is stuff I have to get and do really fast. I thought I'd be doing a lot worse than I am but so far I seem to be holding my own.
For the school play (we're doing Annie this year and I'm part of the stage crew, I've been placed as Head of Props, part time Assistant Stage Manager aaand....Head of Shift Crew. It's good to know that the director and set director trust me this much....I just don't know if I'll be able to manage it all. Hopefully I will. I dont want to mess up. Gotta rise to the occasion I guess.
My last class is a creative writing IDS (independantly directed study). I've been really enjoying it. One of my best friends is doing it with me and one of the guys we mutually like has a spare during that block so we get to talk to him too.

Check these out btw... I'm not sure how they work and I cant figure out the way the links work but...w/e -__-" (therefore, i did links like i know how to...)

How time passes

2 min read
I'm bored. Therefore I dA.

Where to start...
Well, its summer as anyone with any brains in their head at all would know. Unfortunately, its the wind down end of summer. I can't decide if I'm excited for school to start or not.
I still have so much I need to do before school starts that its becoming a little intimidating (therefore, I procrastinate). I need to go over the play my school is doing this year and do notes on it all (props, stage layout, clean transitions, backgrounds, etc ad nauseum). I was planning on doing it last month but I forgot it under a pile of other papers and only recently unearthed it.

I've been doing a fair bit of drawing if for no other reason than I was bored at the time and didn't feel like working. When I look at what I've done, it sure isnt much. However, at the time it felt like it because I spent enough time doing it. But all is well regardless.

Recently (and i mean very recently) my friend introduced me to the korean groups 'SHINee' and 'TVSQ!' (better known as DBSK). I've fallen completely head over heels for them (to the point of obsession). But who could deny me this!? Both groups are made out of gorgeous korean men who can sing and dance, their songs are catchy and fun, their clothes are amazing...etc etc.
So I've been finding and downloading their songs and plan on buying their cd's the moment I come into some cash.

My best friend :iconmediatote: gets back from Europe on friday and I couldn't be more anxious about it (she's been away for a while... :/ )

I've been doing a pokemon rp with :iconxiki: latey which is fun, amusing and time consuming. Which makes me very happy :D

Also, my friend Shinji is finally home and hopefully I'll get to talk to him a bit more now. He has something to show me apparently but HE WONT COME ONLINE. I'm getting angsty.

Till next time....
LISTEN TO LUCIFER BY SHINee!!!!! (baha)

Woo life.
So much has been going and on its really exhausting. School has been pretty fun but catching up the four days I missed due to a cold last week (no it was NOT swine flu) has been horrible.
Mostly it was hard catching up my math. I missed a bunch of stuff and didnt have time in the mornings to go in and get help. I did however have one of my ubermathematicallysmart friends help me out. I'm really grateful to him. I would have failed the test (though it's still possible I did......) completely without him.
My physics teacher is the best. He wasn't too pleased with the lateness of some of the assignments I handed in, but he marked them and I got full marks. I'm hoping my mark will go up a little since it's not doing so well at the moment. But yeah, he was totally understanding about the whole 'I'm-drowning-in-missed-homework' thing.
Ihihihihi. So, besides that he lets me listen to music, play DS and chew gum in class. He's always making movie and book references and gives out bonus points like a doxie gives out std's. It's funny.

So yeah, school has been pretty much dictating my life. The free time I've had has been pretty much eaten up by homework. And when I'm not doing homework my friends are usually like 'TIMETOHANGOUT!'. But when I actually have REAL free time, all by myself, I've been reading and playing online games.
I downloaded Fiesta Outspark because WitchHunt hasn't finished the translationg for the fifth game episode of Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. It's 39% translated and 15% edited...so I'm hoping it'll be done by the end of January. *crosses fingers*

I'm reading a lot of books at the moment. I'm finally actually reading through the Bible though I'm pretty sure it's going to take me forever and a bit to actually finish it. The pages are so thin and the words are so small >.> But I'm enjoying it. It takes a while to wrap your head around the old english type writing and a some of the words are like ....woahwaitwhat!?
But yeah. Something happened a little while ago that was insanely scarring for me...and for whatever reason, religion has become my way of finding understanding and forgiveness. It seems to be working so far.

I'm looking forward to next weekend, even though this weekend has only started. Next weekend I'm doing a Code Geass marathon with a friend! I'm like SOOO looking forward to that! It's going to make this whole week last forever though. I have choir on thursday so that should be fun...well.....maybe.

I've been really mad though because I havent had time to draw. I'm always doing something! >.> I wrote up this list of good manga (though i forgot like SO many) for this girl in the grade 9 math class I peer tutor to read and ended up drawing all over it. I apologized to her but...yeah >.>

I SERIOUSLY need new music. I've been listening to the same stuff over and over again for like...forever. I should ask Shinji if he has anything good...

Hmm...I should probably go back to my physics hw though.... DONE BOREDOM VENT DX

Nyaah so much happened today I dont know whether I should be in a good mood or a bad mood.

On the positive side, I finally managed (with a lot of help from a certain someone) to get Umineko no Naku Koro ni working on my computer.
What an event that was... >.>" took me like...three weeks <--how sad
First thing I did, and by far the easiest, was download the english patch.
Then I had to download a torrenter and ended up getting both BitTorrent and utorrent which is like basically the same program...wish I'd known that BEFORE.
Finding a site to torrent Umineko from was the next trial and that one took a bit of work... Ended up downloading a lot of junk stuff...all of which is now deleted :P
I use Vista so a lot of the programs that would work with an older computer just don`t work with mine. Ended up having to intall and uninstall...four different programs I believe just so I could extract an MDF file (ended up using 7-zip).
Then I had to do the whole work around with Applocale because Umineko is a japanese game and my computer wasnt localized for Japanese.
I ended up having to move a bunch of files around  within the MDF and take a bunch out to get it to work.
HOWEVER!!! Now it works, and I can read it no problem.
All that wouldnt even have been that big of a pain if I didnt need my moms stupid admin password for like...EVERYTHING... w/e. its over now
THANK YOU SHINJI-KUN FOR HELPING ME!!!! Never could've done it without you.

Another positive is that I got to talk to a bunch of people on msn that I dont get to talk to much today. It's because they just don't go on msn much, because they didn't even have msn installed or because we both always have our statuses as offline.
It made me really happy to talk to them.

In a little over four days of off and on watching (approx 6 hours a day) I completely finished watching both seasons of Code Geass. I was mad that I had to watch R2 episodes 21-25 in japanese since I watched the rest in english, but it wasn't really that bad. I mean I have nothing against the Japanese version, I just like listening to Yuri Lowenthal as Suzaku, Liam O'Brien as Lloyd and Johnny Yong Bosch as Lelouche.
Seriously though, I LOVE this anime. It's like totally in my top five. It's pretty much just a mecha version of Deathnote but in my opinion (and i luv deathnote too) it's WAY better. I'll admit that I did cry a LOT throughout the series. Especially when (SPOILER ALERT)------------------------------------Lelouch has to kill Euphy, when Shirley dies, when you think Nunnally dies and right at the end when Lelouche 'dies'. Seriously, I didnt stop crying for an hour (over Lelouche). I felt pretty pathetic, well I still do. But now I'm just going to say that he's alive so BAM. No more tears...for now :P (am I in denial? who knows)
I'd have to say my favorite characters are Lelouche, Lloyd (lol Pudding Earl) and Suzaku. Not very original probably but WHO CARES. They are awesome characters. Though...I like all their voices better in the english dub.

I downloaded a bunch of the opening/ending theme music and have a few more on my list...oooh I should do that right now ^_^

On another note, I completely understand Higurashi no naku koro ni onikakushi-hen now which makes me VERY happy. Took me long enough >.> like seriously
Now I just want to understand Tatagorishi-hen and then I can die happily.

Also, I am now on the third game in .hack//G.U. NYAH I luv Haseo's Xth form!! Go dual guns!!! Not luving the fact that I have to fight Kite, Balmung and Orca....needs to level up :P

Okay, done random babbling *yawn*
