Well, I made another personal blog: http://confusinglymabushii.blogspot.com

Also for anyone who missed it on my DA, like if you don't watch my journal or something: original character Bios are going up now!

I'm gonna stop using this journal for posting. I'm still keeping an eye on communities and friends' journals, so I'll comment/reply and stuff. just no more entries. So I'll probably make a blog somewhere else, when I feel like I'll actually use it, but for now I am blog-less. Later guys!

LOL WHO MESSED UP MY FORMATTING. OH WELL IT IS 4:00 AM AND I WILL SLEEP INSTEAD OF FIXING IT.




YEAHHHHHHH SO I HAVE NO LIFE.

Almost immediately after my semester ended  last week, I opened up The Sims 2/Bodyshop and decided to make some OCs. Then I decided to learn how to recolor stuff. then I made way too many of them. Now I have a lot. :D
...... D:

( cut because there are LOTS OF THEM OMG )( cut because there are LOTS OF THEM OMG )( cut because there are LOTS OF THEM OMG )

Anyway, it was actually pretty fun and useful to try and see how my characters would look in not-anime style. So there's that, at least.

Hold on. I found something I can post! Omg!



I'll actually color it later. But I kind of like how the WIP looks now too, so here you go. :>

*cough* um. Hey. Long time no blog. I tried to think of something relevant to post a journal about, like stuff that people would kind of enjoy reading, anecdotes, thoughts, unedumacated rants. But no, instead I am going to tell you all what I was doing in Garry's Mod last night/early this morning.

( If you've never played Half Life 2/Gmod, this will probably be falling on deaf ears )

I decided to take that bit about the deep-fried twinkie from my previous journal and mess with it. I translated it into Japanese with google translator, then back into english. Here is what came out:

Apparently my grandma and grandpa both the hospital () is off to help my parents as ò_ó. All the days of my sisters and I had a house. We all talk FLCL 6 (excellent) went to eat dinner at a local burger place just now saw. This is not a meal and some too big to Elizabeth, but she feels that after the total, because she does not need that to talk to all those people and I register with me it is Iike. As we were leaving one of the employees came and gave us ... ... and says things in the endoplasmic reticulum tray, "Today was a day of free deep-fried Twinkie! That you missed! "I saw them, I told them no, they should be able to guess what.
So I began to eat deep-fried Twinkie. Now I am really an American citizen.
Then again [like] I was like, I can not choose ... so the school had only six in the middle of some place other than that or something (who was???), so do not throw if the United States complicit in Ust who do not like us, so please refer me to worry about it I am lame. So click on each half, ate the rest chickened out and left. Lol.
Was strange. Also it was just gross ... weird. It was no taste. It was like eating texture. If I was thinking about the questions I can tell you all "to taste the crisp, fluffy and creamy." IT was a strange and now twice and another one does not need to eat another one. I go to.


Lol.

Also, just trying to be consistent with posting drawings so here (even though a couple of these have been posted on Mangabullet already)

( Read more... )

I just remembered I originally made this journal so I can post doodles and WIPs. Omg! I have some of both!


( Lots of drawings )

Anyways. News time.

Apparently my grandpa and grandma are both in the hospital (o_O) so my parents are off helping them. Me and my sister have had the house to ourselves all day. We watched all 6 episodes of FLCL (AWESOME) and just now went to eat dinner at a local burger place. Elizabeth doesn't eat there because the portions are too large and she feels gross afterwards, but I Iike it so she accompanied me there so I wouldn't have to talk to cashiers all alone and stuff. As we were leaving one of the employees came over and handed us... er... things in a tray and said "today was free fried twinkie day! You missed it!" I looked at them and I wouldn't have been able to guess what they were without being told.
SO I GOT TO EAT A DEEP-FRIED TWINKIE. NOW I AM TRULY AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Then again it's [kind of] like I didn't have a choice... we were the only ones in the place besides some middle-schoolers (who looked like they were 6 or something???) so it's like THEY'LL SEE US IF WE UST THROW THEM AWAY and I am lame so I care about that. So we each ate about half and then chickened out for the rest and left. LOL.
It was weird. It wasn't even gross, just... weird. It had no taste. It was like eating a texture. If you asked me how it tasted all I could think of to say was "crunchy and then squishy and then creamy." IT WAS WEIRD and now I never have to eat another one ever again. Go me.

"As one half of the couple featured in the mag, I'd like to know why, exactly, you think you are more entitled to freedom than my husband or myself. And please don;t start with the religion: We are talking about CIVIL marriage. Church ceremony is an ancillary (if oft utilized) component. Gay and lesbian people are fighting for the civil component, gladly leaving the church discussion up to the individual denominations/sects/etc.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, and share them with my readers. Let's have an open discussion about why my rights as a tax-paying citizen should be denied by personal religious whims. You can reach me at contact@goodasyou.org.

Oh, and PS: People of many different faiths (including a nun in full habit) were at our wedding. Where is respect for *their* faith views?"


This is a comment posted on this blog entry. The entry is about a recent issue of the magazine "Martha Stewart Weddings" that featured an article on a gay couple's wedding. More specifically, it is about the blogger's disappointment in the magazine for running the article. The reson I'm posting this is because two things on the page stood out to me: First is that comment above, posted by one of the men from the article in the magazine, which I think speaks for itself. It outlines everything I already believe about the reasons behind fighting for gay marriage. Especially the idea that in the end, the people who oppose gay marriage do so on a religious basis, when really all that's being asked for are equal civil rights.
This brings me to the second thing that stood out to me. In the body of her blog, the blogger states, "I just wanted to clarify that I don’t hate homosexuals. I actually know a couple gay and lesbian people and they’re great folks. This, however, does not mean that I agree with their lifestyle choices."
This sort of statement always makes me angry, honestly. I cannot understand how you can claim to be friends with any gay/lesbian/trans individual and still believe that they aren't just as human as you are. I cannot see how anyone thinking of them as equally relevant human beings can possibly justify the inequality that is thrust upon them.
(Also, this blogger fails in the same area every anti-gay rights believer I've ever met fails: "lifestyle choices." Denying that gay/lesbian/trans people are indeed born gay/lesbian/trans. But I feel like I'm straying from my main point if I continue down this path, so I'll just leave that there.)
A while ago I realized that I cannot abide these hurtful opinions. Religious marriage, sure. By all means, let the churches decide about that one. But to restrict someone's civil rights simply because they conflict with your religious views is unacceptable to me in every sense of the word. I used to think I could accept anything coming form anyone and not be biased, but when my sister came out to me suddenly it became personal and I realized I was wrong. If anyone thinks they can make a world where my sister can't choose to love anyone, and have that love and connection recognized under the law that protects us all, I will fight them. I will fight with words, with the law, with tears, with anything I find at my disposal until my sister and everyone like her are truly recognized as equal human beings under the law.

I may just be preaching to the choir with this, and I don't know how many have even read this far, but I need you all to know. If anyone cares anything for me, has any shred of respect or love for me, please see this issue through my eyes. It is not a question of religion, it is a question of simple equality, something promised to all Americans.

I got to hang out at lunaru 's dad's house for New Years and watch a bunch of movies. Including Sherlock Holmes. Which is really really awesome. Even if it's not classical Holmes, Jude law is ppppppppppretty and Robert Downey Jr. beats people up and the whole movie Holmes and Wattson bicker like a married couple. Total bromance. I loved it.

Also we had an awesome OC session which stretched from 2009 all the way into 2010, which is a WHOLE YEAR GUYS, like wow
lol.

I attempted. to make. new years resolutions. Basically, I'd like to spend my free time more usefully, as opposed to just staring at youtube for hours as I've lately degenerated to doing. Also, especially since I'm moving into a dorm later this month, I need to take better care of myself and my living space.

Speaking of dorms! I've been searching through my school's website for info on the dormroom, with about the effectiveness of a blind person searching for a needle while falling off a skyscraper. I can't understand why they don't just put everything a student would need in ONE PLACE; for instance, there are two areas to sign in to some sort of school-run network, both leading to two DIFFERENT systems. One is a useless online profile which also happens to show me my grades, the other is a self-service class-choosing payment-making thing. Now, why not put all that in the same place? I actually didn't even know how to access the first thing until just now, because it's listed under "Online classes". But I'm not taking any online classes, so I would never even think to look under a tab that says ONLINE CLASSES.
So in the end I can't find a single place in the website that can tell me what my room number is, which sucks, because I've forgotten it. :( I'd also like to contact my future roommates before too long. >_>

'neeways. I need to go scan some drawings. For now, have a WIP:

Hey wow, first day of winter break and I'm up past 4:30. Awesome, me.
Anyways. Yanked this from lexi_nyanko . :>

40 QUESTIONS FOR 2009

01. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
I painted for the first time in my life (why didn't they make me do it in high school? I do not know). Also... cut class for the first time ever. ItwasworthitOTL

02. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't think I even made resolutions. And if I make one this year it would probably be something silly like "try to use less emoticons".

03. Did anyone close to you give birth? Nnnnope

04. Did anyone close to you die? No

05. What countries did you visit? I stayed right. here. My mom went to Germany though. :(

06. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009? Time. This last semester especially, my long commute to school and the long long classes started to wear on me greatly. In January I'm moving into a dorm, so hopefully that means I'll have more time for homework/sleep/friends.

07. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? I am completely time-retarded, so dates do not factor into any of my memory mechanics. But I can remember events!
.... I think.
............

08. What was your biggest achievement of the year? I got 4 (... was it 4?) works of mine from last semester into the Spring Show at my school. Nothing came of it, but it was cool to know that a freshman anime nerd could actually get something into an important event like that. Also, created a whole new set of characters and a story. XD;

09. What was your biggest failure? Letting many tiny failures accumulate on me and keep me from functioning properly under pressure.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury? No, actually. I think I've only gotten one cold in the past two years.

11. What was the best thing you bought? I'm thinking... Corel Painter 11. I just got it recently, and it's growing on me rapidly.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration? My dad; he started up his own company with some former coworkers and has been working very hard with little/no steady pay to help get this thing started. He's making software to help math teachers teach fractions in elementary school, something most elementary teachers need especially in this crappy state. So far it's going very well. :)

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Maybe not appalled but... a certain friend of mine has been drifting slowly farther and farther away from me. I try not to think about it if I don't have to, but I get very depressed and bitter when I do.

14. Where did most of your money go? I can't exactly spend what I don't earn in the first place. >w>;; At this point, my parents give me pocket cash for school, so I'd say... food. lol.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Assassin's Creed 2's release. I finished it in two days, I was so hooked.

16. What song will always remind you of 2009? Um? Hahah, well, like I said before, dates don't stick in my head like that. But some songs I discovered this year that I'll love for years to come:
- Your Soul- Ivri Lider
- PDA- Interpol
- Just be Friends- DixieFlatline feat. Luka Megurine

17. Compared to this time last year, you are: Probably just as relieved to be on winter break as I was last year. Or maybe, at this time last year I was more surprised that the semester went so fast. This year I am glad it's finally over. =w=

18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Talking with my friends.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of? procrastinating. D: But my life seems doomed to at least 40% procrastination by volume. So it's sort of a hollow wish to wish all that gone.

20. How will you be spending/did you spend Christmas? Probably just going to go to my grandpa's house, like last year. No tree, but instead I'll stack the presents in pleasing ways to entertain myself.

22. Did you fall in love in 2009? Hur hur no. :(

lol there's no number 21!

23. How many one-night stands? Do you... expect me to have these regularly?

24. What was your favorite TV program? Dollhouse. Joss Whedon, valiant hero of intelligent TV and tragic victim of unjust, premature series cancellations.

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? I don't hate anyone. :>

26. What was the best book you read? I didn't read much this year. Barely anything besides my English textbook, actually. :(

27. What was your greatest musical discovery? Hmmmrr... Well I wouldn't call it "great" but I really got into Vocaloid this year. FINALLY I'm starting to not draw Miku as much, but I still like the music.

28. What did you want and get?
-PS3 (hurgh)
-a stylish hat
-Toward the Terra DVDs :'DDDD

29. What did you want and not get? affirmation of my own validity as an artist. MAYBE NEXT YEAR. :D

30. What was your favorite film of this year? Hmmm. Coraline, probably.

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? On the actual day I turned 19, I went to school and then came home and ate Indian food. But the weekend before that I invited my friends over and played lots of Rock Band and ate lots of chocolate.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Personal theme music.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2009? "lets pretend I'm not a girl for a little while"

34. What kept you sane? My ipod. I'd be sunk without you, little Elexias. ;__;

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Eheh.. heheh.... I don't normally fancy people. Uh. Heath Ledger? .... 8[

35. What was your favorite video game of the year? Assassin's Creed 2. That's another soundtrack everyone needs to hear.

36. Who has made the most cameos in your dreams this year? Hmm, the only person I know was probably my friend RJ, twice. First he was downloading viruses onto my dad's computer, next he was telling me he wouldn't take me home from the hospital unless I pretended I was a fairy princess. Or something lol.

37. Who did you miss? Erica!

38. Who was the best new person you met? Hhhmmmrr. RJ.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009: Warm light, cool shadows. Cool light, warm shadows.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: "I don't remember" ... I'm sure there's a song with that lyric somewhere out there. :D
