Hi! My name is K.D., although most online know me as misachan83. I'm 32, and am an author and anime lover. Welcome to the shadows of my creative and sometimes odd mind

A quick post :)
For your cuteness viewing pleasure 
Hello again everyone! I hope everybody had a nice fourth of July. Ours was okay, although it was rained out and our fireworks have been moved to tonight. We saw some on TV though, so that's okay. Guess we'll get a double dose (haha).
So we've just begun a heat wave here, and I can't say that I like it that much. When you have two kids, cabin fever is a given with this stuff *sighs*. It's been a bit better for me though, considering I've been going through a pretty bad depressive spell lately. Hopefully this means that I'm finally trying to come out of it. It really sucks on so many levels to go through that stuff.
In other news, I've finally been able to start looking at some new anime series. Well, new for me in that I haven't seen them yet. I'm currently in the middle of the first season of Free!, and I have to say that I really like it more than I thought I would. I'm usually not one for a sport oriented anime, but the characters and backstory have really drawn me in, and I can't wait to start watching season 2. I'm gonna try to check out Gurren Lagann soon too (if I can find the episodes online, cause sometimes that's a challenge with some anime for some odd reason). Any other suggestions for my 'to watch' list? I'd love to hear some
Anyway, like I said, I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I also am excited to see the entries so far for my new challenge, although I'm really hoping to see more wallpaper challenges pop back up. It's more fun when you have things like that to do around here.
In Other News
I just like this picture :)
So my first challenge came to a close, and I wanted to personally thank everyone who entered. I really loved all of the entries, and it was hard to pick the winners in the end. Congrats to Snowzi, Judai Winchester, and Kyrachan for being my winners! I hope you all liked your prizes!
Keeping along those lines, I went ahead and put up my second wallpaper challenge that I'd been thinking about for a while too (considering there were absolutely no new challenges in wallpapers for quite a while). Hopefully a lot of you will be interested in participating in this one too. I tried to think of something that everyone could do (although picking winners will probably be just as hard in this one too )
As for life, well, summertime does give me some busy days. Most of my stuff I end up making at night, although I work on and off of the computer throughout the day. I want to find time to sit and draw, but with two kids running around right now, it's been difficult. Hopefully I'll get some new stuff done soon.
In other news, my husband was nice enough to get me Black Butler Book of Circus and the limited edition of Seraph of the End. I had only seen half of Book of Circus (though I read the manga portion of Kuroshitsuji), so that was a treat to be able to finish it and watch whenever I want. The Seraph of the End limited edition is pretty cool too. The box glows in the dark, and there's a box featuring Mika and Yu where you can put season 2 when it's released on DVD/BluRay. I also love the extras, especially Seraph of the Endless. They are hilarious, and I highly recommend checking them out (animefreak.tv has them where you can watch online).
Well I guess that's all for now. Hope everyone's having a good start to summer!
OMG, it's an update :o
So it's been a while since I've done any updates, and I figured I may as well. If anything, it's nice just to talk. A lot has gone on in my life, and it's been a series of ups and downs lately, but I guess it's all good. If anything, I can say I'm still breathing. Honestly, I feel like I've been living Sia's song "I'm Alive" (need to figure out a wallpaper for that incredible song).
Anyway, so I finally did my first challenge on here, which I hope everyone enjoys. It's kind of funny considering that my last wallpaper ended up being themed to a song too. But I find music to influence a whole lot of my creative works, and it's always fun to see the ways that a song or musical piece can be interpreted. I have a few in mind that hopefully I can figure out wallpapers or fanart for now. If anything, I'm trying to make things to help me cope with recent stresses.
Speaking of, things have kind of been up and down, up and down (as I said). Our landlord sadly passed away Sunday (he was 93), so everything's in limbo at the moment. We're hoping that things stay the same here, but we don't know for certain yet. I guess that's just stuff you take one day at a time. But it hasn't been all bad either. I've had some good stuff in there too. My aunt is recovering after thinking she broke her hip, which was replaced years ago, so that's been a plus. My husband's had different work things popping up here, there and everywhere. And on top of it, I won a premium membership here for a year, so that was really cool. There's always little silver linings. At least, that's how I've made myself look at it.
Either way, I'm still here and hopefully will have more new stuff soon. I've been enjoying looking at the recent works by friends and working with Judai Winchester too (she's so awesome!). It's been really fun. I hope everyone is having fun with my recent challenge too. I'm really looking forward to more entries, and I already love the ones that have been submitted so far.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Just Life in General
So I figured I'd just do some writing in here once again, beings it feels nice to do here and there. I've heard before that doing stuff like this helps with a lot of things too, so I guess that counts for something. Anyway, it's that wonderful time of year again where the weather is weird and my birthday is around the corner. It keeps raining on the weekends here though, which I can't stand because that means we're prettymuch stuck in the house. It'll be great when it starts staying nice. I feel like winter's had us trapped inside enough 
As for my birthday, I don't know what we'll do then. Maybe go out to lunch or dinner, considering we do that once in a blue moon. My mom was nice enough to get me two anime series I had been wanting on DVD/Blueray; Tokyo Ghoul and Corpse Party. What's funny is that my daughter's decided that she loves Tokyo Ghoul now (yep, apple didn't fall far from the tree haha). She also loves Kamisama Kiss and Black Butler. She keeps asking me about us maybe going back to Otakon one year, and maybe we can eventually. She went once before when she was pretty young, but she still remembers some of it, and has been itching to go back because it was fun. It would be fun to do it with her again and with her younger brother now. If anything, it's an experience you never forget going to be a big convention.
Well, not much else going on right now, so I guess I'll keep this short. But like I said, it's nice to write things here and there. Besides, I'm hoping to get back to working on a novel that I've been trying to finish too. I want to draw more and make more wallpapers, but I'm kind of stumped at the moment on what to do. I really hate mental blocks for that. Hopefully I can re-download my program on my computer for my writing again soon too, considering that it was uninstalled when it had that major error. I guess time will tell.
Anyway, hope everyone's had a good weekend. Happy Spring!
A rough time lately...
The way I feel at times…
Good evening my lovelies. I sincerely hope that everyone is doing well through the end of this winter. It’s been nice for me to be back, although I admit that I’m still battling some pretty rough bouts of depression at this time. They say that it’s good for the heart and mind to talk things out at times, so that’s what I’ve hoped to do here briefly. If you don’t want to read, then it’s okay. I just really wanted to talk a little bit about it.
To be completely honest about it, it’s been rather rough for the last few days, though I’ve tried hard to fight it. I can’t really say exactly what’s bringing it on. I’ve struggled a lot, but it’s just been pretty bad lately, and affecting me big time.
On the bright side, I did have a nice visit today with my husband’s niece and her baby, who’s about six months old. That cheered me up a little, and it was fun to be around a small baby again (considering my children are nine and four). But this evening I’ve been finding my mind turning a little sour again, and it’s quite frustrating. I’ve talked to my doctor about it and how I’ve felt pretty hollow a lot of times, and they’re trying to help, but so far there’s not much luck. For that, I’m trying to keep myself busy with stuff around my house and making things, including stuff I share at the ‘O. I kind of hope that it helps in the long run, considering that I don’t like feeling like this.
Okay, kind of short, but I wanted to talk a little bit about that in hopes that it makes me feel better. If you read all of it, then I thank you for that. Good night *waves*
