I'M NOT DEAD YEEEEEEEET!!!
I almost was though. Never got so close to death by homework in my entire life.
I had to endure a full WEEK AND A HALF of non-stop-every-class-homework...when I should have been able to study for exams.
PROJECT...AFTER PROJECT...AFTER PROJECT...AFTER LONG TERM ASSIGNMENT...AFTER TEST...AFTER OTHER TEST...AFTER PROJECT...AFTER FAULTY DIRECTIONS ON ANNOYING PROJECT...AFTER--
*EXPLODES*
*UN-DIES*

On the heels of one of the worst 1&1/2 weeks of my LIFE, last Thursday became I believe one of the strangest "rapid progression of odd occurrences" days I have ever had. Here's why:

-My day started with my having to go to school dressed in "office formal" clothing for a school presentation. Now, I have absolutely no "office formal" clothing. So, I had to settle on wearing a black turtleneck shirt, black skirt, and black shoes (and DANG was it hot!!! As in the kind of heat that makes you sweat...). My art teacher deduced that I either looked like I was going to a party, going to a funeral, going Greek, or going to give a presentation (the latter of which I was of course...actually I have done each and every one of these things in this outfit before XD).

-In the pre-homeroom hallway club where my friends and I congregate in the morning before classes, one of my school besties walks into the hallway with a cardboard box and says "Look inside!"
...
There was a snake in the box. A real one. Let's leave that at that, shall we?

-I had an immense amount of energy from the start. That NEEEEEVER happens. Especially when I only get 5 hours of sleep.

-My immense amount of energy left me faster than a dead man's ghost by day's end...I almost fell asleep in Civ class.

-Learned that between two of my friends and I, we have 2 jealous dogs and 2 perverted dogs XDDD.

-Nearly fainted during evening presentation from the heat of that sauna-of-a-Spanish-room. (I'd elaborate on this but I am laaaaaa~zy XD)


Other odd occurrences of the past week:

-Learned that I can spend over 2 hours on drawing purely shoulders and they still won't come out right without focusing on a single set for another 2 hours  -_-

-Met a real life nerd...like your "absolute most stereotypical nerd with all accessories included" type nerd. He even had the right voice!!

-Found out a teacher in my school has the same voice as Fred the squirrel from Penguins of Madagascar...like, seriously. I wonder if squirrel's gone incognito...

-Learned how to make a dress out of tissue paper...and markers :3

-Listened to a friend of mine recite a Monty Python skit and I learned around 50 or so new cheeses (is there a such thing as Venezuelan Beaver Cheese? If so, links to source in comments are much appreciated :3)

-Saw a cemetery garden for the first time. It is quite the interesting mix of life and death! WARNING: MAY BE SCARY FOR SMALL CHILDREN (That is if you set them out weeding and when they pull back a leaf there's a headstone sticking out of a shrubbery...yeah, it surprised me too XD)

-Learned that a schoolmate of mine can talk about K-pop for over 4 hours straight and not run out of material to jabber about (not that we'd remember what he said a minute later 'cuz we didn't catch a word of it anyway)

A little something like that.

On another note, in between all of my determined-to-kill-me-to-death homework assignments, I have been sketching. SORRYYYYYYYYYYYY FOR LACK OF UPDATESSSSSS!!!! I HAVEN'T BEEN LAZY!!! I'VE BEEN BUSYYYYYYY!!!! But don't worry!! Come summer in a week or so, and I'll be able to churn out and upload aaaaaaall my current works in progress!!!

EXAAAAAAAAAAMS!!!! WHY WON'T YOU JUST GO DIEEEEEEEE??????!!!!!! I DON'T LIKE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! *glares at Spanish nonsensicalness sitting next to me* *Hisssssss* DIEEEEEEEEEE. Ooh! Sandwich! *noms*

I hope that suffices as an adequate brain dump. I shall write more when I find I have time.

Thank you to everyone who takes time to visit my paaaaaaaage!!!!! I LOVE ALL YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE!!!!

Wow!! Leave DA for a couple days, and I have almost 4,000 messages waiting for me!!! GEEZ!!!
Ahh, I've been busybusybusy this weekend...and times before that...when did I last post an entry? I forgot.

First of all, HAPPY LATE VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehheh I'm really late O_O .

Anywho, sorry about the increased lack of upload over the past...since whenever I last uploaded something. I'VE BEEN WORKING!! I HAVEN'T BEEN LAZY!!! I have an art dump I plan to do in about a week from now, and I'll get to upload eeeeeverything I got in one blow .

I have also now realized something. I think one of the few (yes there are a couple more...but not many) places I could ever empty out my entire bank account is the bookstore. Went there a few days ago with my mom (cuz I could) and took the oppurtunity to stalk the MANGA ISLE!!!! Seriously, look away for a second and I'd have already bee-lined for the back of that store. By the way, tip for anyone who reads this: Although it may be somewhat of common knowledge, if you're buying manga, READ A FEW PAGES OF IT IN THE STORE AND THEN PAN THROUGH A COUPLE MORE. SOMETHING THAT LOOKS FREAKING AMAZING ON THE COVER MAY HIDE A HORRIBLE BOOK. T_T
On the GOOD side though, I got my hands on books one and two of Blue Exorcist, AND I LOVE THEMMMM!!!! God I love Rin. I have to say, he's one of my all-time favorite anime guys. His character and personality are just really well done, and (too speak in art terms ) seems like much more of a '3-D' character, as opposed to a flat, '2-D' personality character. He for some reason just seems so much more believable than other anime characters I've run into. Congrats KAZUE KATO-SAN!!! <--The author.

Speaking more of comics and manga, I've revived my interest in a story comic I found WAAAAAAAY back before I made my account: It's called Lackadaisy, is accessable on this site, and is freaking amazing. Written and illustrated by the incredibly talented comes a comic about life in the middle of St. Louis, Missouri during 1920's America, and the home of the Prohibition Era. The best part? THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL CATS!!!!! And quite amusing ones at that. So, if you're looking for a quality comedy comic, START HERE. SERIOUSLY.
lackadaisy.foxprints.com/ <--Link to her website, it's easiest to read here. Just click the 'Comic' button.
Make sure to check out her DA gallery too!!! Its amazing!!!!

On another note, last weekend I got a chance to go skiing with a friend of mine, and have an amusing tale to tell.
First off, I'm no pro. I haven't skiied in about three years, and THAT ws my first time ever. So, bravely armed with almost no knowledge on the subject whatsoever, an amusing array of overly-fluffy clothing, and boots that I swear are the shoe-equivalent of a straight-jacket (NO JOKE) I faced the slopes with the silly, naive belief that I might be able to accomplish something that day. And actually I did, but still XD. My day started as my being cast the most incompetent bunnyhill skiier there, and ended with me starring as the 'Snow Ninja Assassin' (still on the bunnyhill). Why assassin? I'll explain that now.
On my last run down the slope, and by this time I'm doing pretty well mind you, some distance ahead of me I spot a man talking with several other people, presumably fallen companions he was trying to help (in the middle of the slope) . On either side of this guy, there is WIIIIDE OPEN SPACE. Not being particularly skillful in turning, I find out very quickly I am unable to maneuver to either side, and am on a DIRECT COLLISION COURSE WITH THIS DUDE. By some internal force of natural instinct, I ended up crounching down and yelling "LOOK OUT!!!!"
....
And ended up plowing this guy riiiiight over. He FLIES back, bounces off my head (for lack of better word...AND IT HURT!) and rolls to the side, and we all burst out laughing like there's no tomorrow. I can't even imagine how ridiculous I must have looked--decked out in all my fluffy snow stuff, and stringy hair all in my face that better resembles the yeti than my own, stuck as an upside-down stinkbug cuz I can't get up easily. Oh well, we got a great laugh out of it, and I am now dubbed 'Snow Ninja Assassin' by my friend's dad, who asked my is this guy was my assassination target or something from the fact I just happened to hit HIM. I DIDN'T TARGET HIM!!! He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and got plowed by the ninja.

Well, I suppose that suffices as a worthy blabber-rant after a two-week absence (I checked my last entry date XDDDD) .

THANK YOU ALL MY STALKERS AND CO.!!!!

As midterms ended, like I have said before, I told myself I would go home, laze about, and thoroughly pretend school did not exist. Of which, I did. How did that weekend go exactly?

Well my weekend went a little like this:
It went with WHACKING!!! Let's just say there was MUCH WHACKING. There is a WHACKO with a WHACKER!! FRENCH WHACKING. WITH FRENCH BREAD. I have a WHACKER THAT IS FRENCH.
In case you all are wondering what the heck I am ON, I am going ON ABOUT (see what I did there? XDD) the fact my dad kept repeatedly WHACKING ME on the head with a 2-and-a-half-foot-long stick (WHACKER!) of French Bread over the weekend. I now have a FRENCH WHACKER. The SPANISH WHACKER (according to a well known ventriloquist and a purple I-don't-know-what-the-heck-it-is puppet) is a JALAPENO ON A STICK!! The all AMERICAN WHACKER...well that's just a baseball bat. Everybody knows that. XDDDD.

Man I am feeling playful today.

But sooner or later, I had to unpretend school didn't exist, and once again get stuck in it.
Got my grades back (well, most of them) on my midterms, and...
So far, I have a 90%, a 96%, and a 100% on three tests. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!! SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW!!!!!

On another note, I have still been stalking various cosplayers (as you can see from my steadily growing file of favorites) and reading much fanfiction. Some of it really isn't all that bad, it's pretty interesting. Especially how writers portray characters in their own light, while sticking to the basics of his/her original (I can never spell that word right) personality, that is if it is done right. Its a skill I have yet to master, I'm afraid. I enjoy very much reading D.Gray-man fanfiction, but again, as long as its good. I'm still hunting, but I've found some good ones .
If you all are D.Gray-man fans and haven't seen this yet (honestly this is more for a friend of mine, but still XD) check out this unholy mashup of D.Gray-man and the Zombie Apocalypse, by . I've been finding it entertaining enough XD. Not only just this, but she's also done a series of amusing shorts ya might wanna check out if you're bit more daring! XDD.

Also, thanks to this weekend and my spare time (that I thoroughly, stubbornly insist on extending) I've gotten to do some COLORING, AND ITS GETTING FARTHER!! AND WONDERFULLER!!! YAY!! 'Bout 1/2-2/3 way through, so be patient XD.
Also, if any of you reading this remember from waaaaaaay back when, when I told you about that painting I was allowed to do in art class (it's somewhere in my journal history, I'm sure), I'M GONNA GET A CHANCE TO ENTER IT IN AN ART SHOW!!! Wish me luck!!

Ah well, chatter to you all later!!

Thanks to all my supporters for supporting!! (and not WHACKING me with anything!! )

MIDTERM WEEK IS FINALLY OVER!!!! IT FEELS SO GREAT!!!! Now I get to laze about aaaaaaall weekend and pretend school no longer exists!!! WOOOOOO!!! Aaaaaah, so happy.
I got to spend my entire day yesterday doing absolutely NOTHING WHATSOEVER. Lazing and watching D.Gray-man, sketching various nonsense, that sort of addicting deal . I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what I got on those stupid tests, but oh well I'm thoroughly enjoying engaging lounge-mode.
With all my newly gained free time, I've gotten to fudge a bit with my drawing tablet and do some computer sketching...which reminds me, I actually need to finish that...-_- oh well XDD. It's surprising how hard it actually is sometimes to use that thing. GRR. I very muh prefer a pencil in hand and paper than freaky online sketchies. It's certainly easier drawing hair with a pencil than tablet, I can tell you that much O_O" .

Still working traditionally too. I've got a color drawing I gotta finish and churn out to you all who visit. I haven't uploaded a finished drawing since New Years...GEEZ. I'M NOT (just) BEING LAZY I SWEAR!!!

On another note, snow has been taunting me. We've been waking up recently to not-so-unusual snow flurries, but they are, like, a half inch thick and melt almost entirely by the end of the day and you can't sled in them -_- . Its rather pathetic really, I haven't gotten to sled at all this year yet . Snow Dancer's having quite a bit of fun though, dancing about in my head *STOPGIVINGMEAHEADACHE* .

Been taking more of this free time and reading various D.Gray-man fanfictions and comics and such too. Some of its a little scary, others are pretty good.
On the topic of D.Gray-man, I've found that upon staring at myself in the mirror, I think I actually look a little like Lenalee. I think I actually do. I need to find a way to get my fingers on her cosplay though, I don't have it . I must be alot of fun to just go out and cosplay as anime characters with friends and do photoshoots of the like. I kinda really wanna do it now. I still have my Alice cosplay, I need to try doing something with that don't I? ...

Well, as my fingers ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO HIT THE CORRECT KEYS ON THIS KEYBOARD I MUST STOP TYPING RIGHT NOW. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. STUPID FINGERS. RAAAAAH.

Thank you all my stalkers and friends and watchers and everyone for following meeee!!!

OHMAHGAWDTHERE'SSNOWOUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!! SNAAAAAAAWWWW!!!!!! (<--My new funny way of spelling snow in excitement) I'MSOHAPPYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! AND I GOT A SCHOOL DELAY!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!
Ahh, so excited. Even if its not a full day, I needed a Snow Day. It just lifts my spirits.

Now I have an extra couple of hours to work--not on school, but part 4 of The Party Story, part 6 of Katana's past, and a drawing of Katana in that party dress I so lengthily (new word XD) described in part 2. By the way, I think I need to explain a few things concerning DOTD (the abbreviated official name, I'm not going to answer any questions on what the name is unabbreviated XD), so I'll make sure to brief you all on the summary soon. Austori and I tend to tweak things a (LOT!) little every so often XD. But in terms of timeline, Past before Party XD.

It feels so good to color again, you have no idea. I've just been able to do half sketches for the past eternity, I haven't been able to do much else .

Can't think of much else to say...I really need to come up with something good. I need another really funny lunch discussion to post here.
Maybe I'll add something later. I don't know.

Anywho, Thanks to all my Viewers/Favers/Commenters/Watchers/Stalkers for liking my stuff!!
