Hush, Love, Don't cry,
It'll be alright,
Hold me close,
As I administer the dose,
Listen to my lullaby of lies.

Duel of the Fates...

Mood: Meh...
Music: John Williams "Auschwitz-Birkenau"

Well, not too much has gone on lately. I bought a fish Wednesday night. He's a betta. He's so pretty! I made him a door sign so that people know he lives in this room, too. I'll upload that to my portfolio later. His name is Aidan, which is Daku's name for the SCA (medieval re-enactment group). Of course, Aidan already has 2 nicknames: Princess and Dinner. It's so fun to watch him swim around in the little tank. Especially when I play the theme from Jaws. He really hams it up when that's going. He'll talk back to me, too. I'll tell him something, and he'll be looking at me, and he'll work his mouth like he's talking back. It's adorable. Of course, I'm a bit worried. He doesn't eat the food I bought him. I don't think he likes it very much. It's these tiny pellet things. I'll drop them in, he'll nibble at them for a minute, but he'll never eat them. Daku suggests I try the flakes, so I think I'll try those...

This week is a bit busy for me, but Wednesday is the last day of classes. We get out Thursday and Friday for Fall Break. However, I'm staying on campus so I can go Trick-or-Treating. Then, when we're done, me, Daku, and Tobi are going to the President's house. Sako and Sekai are house- and cat-sitting for the Pres and his wife while they go on vacation. So we're gonna go over there and watch anime on the big screen. The Pres even told Sako we could do it! He's officially the coolest Pres ever. He makes it a point to learn every student by name and face.

Oh, yeah, back to the busy week...I have to do 2 sheets of Watercolor experiments with some new techniques the teacher taught us. I also have to do a non-objective painting for the final portfolio. That means there will be no recognizable objects in my painting. I also need to work on some more projects for my Ceramics 1 class. That teacher cancelled class for this week, but I need to do some more of the projects so I can have them finished for the final meeting. I also have a test coming up in American History 1 either Monday or Wednesday. Ugh...Then I have to start on a take-home test for my religion class. I have to write 2 papers for that...One is 3 pages, and the other is 2 pages. But I don't think he's making us do anything else for that test. I also need to do about 3 more journal entries for religion class.

Well, Daku had to stay here this past weekend. Damn NASA proposal. And because the group from LAST YEAR didn't do their outreach program yet, this year's group can't turn in an application!! So, basically our plans were ruined for nothing...

The most random thing happened yesterday. I had a friend suggestion waiting for me on Facebook when I logged on. I clicked it to see who it was. Daku had sent me a suggestion to befriend his MOM!! O__O She's new on there. So, I befriended her. It amuses me when I see older people on there. Like, people in their 40s and stuff.

Ok, so on to a bit of some serious business. My old partner in crime from high school has changed a lot. Over the course of the last week, she broke up with her boyfriend, got drunk, did some things she apparently doesn't regret, and has basically done a 180-degree turn from the one I knew...She used to be so happy and bubbly and Miss-Goody-Two-Shoes, but now she's on this self-destructive path of doom...From what a mutual friend told me, it's very good that she broke it off with her last boyfriend, at least...He was a control freak...Gah...I wish things could go back to the way they were before...But, hey, people change...

Ok, so I've got new artwork up!! Yay me! Akatsukizumi, if you haven't seen it, your muffin request is up.

RAWR!!!

Mood: Pissed. As. Hell.
Music: Slipknot "Pulse of the Maggots"

>>WARNING!! Spoilers are in place due to foul language and "older teen" terms!!<<

Words do not express how pissed I am right now, actually...Ok, first off, I've been in an extremely bad mood ALL DAY LONG!! Last night, Mother Nature decided to be a bitch and give me my monthly "gift" a whole fucking week early. Problem is, I didn't ovulate this month, to my knowledge, meaning I SHOULD be skipping this month. Also, I didn't have cramps....I skipped last month, which was fun. And I thought I'd skip this month too, but NOOOOOOOOO, Mother Nature has to be a FUCKING BITCH!! Oh well, at least it's way lighter than usual and there are no cramps....

Oh, and in addition to that, at supper, I was given even MORE reason to be pissed off. See, Daku is supposed to go to Dallas, TX, for a week this summer to do a Zero-Gravity experiment with some other people in the science department. Well, the proposal is due a week from today. The other people in the group (2 of them, anyways) have been "too busy" to work on the project until this weekend. This shouldn't be a problem for me, seeing as I'm not involved. But Daku and I have had plans to go to my little brother's Senior Night football game since the BEGINNING OF THE FUCKING SEMESTER!! Daku is going to try to compromise with them and see if they will move the work back to Sunday afternoon. If that doesn't work, I'm going to blow up....I'll probably end up just walking right up to Wilson (one of the 2 problem people, also the biggest motherfucking dickwadded asshole I've ever met) and, without saying a word, kick him right in his fucking dick...

I need a strong pair of arms and a good cry...

Oh! I had the weirdest thing happen to me at supper! See, Daku treated me to Chinese food. I was at the buffet, getting my food, and this old lady was on the other side, and she took the tongs, tapped my plate, and said, "Hello! Is somebody flirting with you?" It was weird and creepy...I was thinking, "WTF?!" I didn't say anything though. I assume she was cenile.
O__o

Well, I suppose some of you are wondering about some Fan Art I have due...

How I Found Love

She hurried out of her College Algebra class, wanting to escape the crowd of strangers. It being Halloween, she wore a black skirt that came to the middle of her shins, a black blouse with purple flowers, black fishnet stockings, sexy black heels, and a long black hooded cape. Coming out of the room, she noticed the students waiting in the hall for their next class. She noticed one in particular. He wore a familiar black cloak with red clouds and a coolie hat with white strips of fabric hanging from it. He looks like Itachi, but he has blonde hair, she thought to herself.

***

It was lunch time. She sat with her roommate at a round table near the pizza bar. They made small talk, mainly commenting on how their days had been going. She glanced around the cafeteria, uninterested in the disgusting food. They'd somehow managed to screw up pizza, of all things. She caught sight of the familiar cloak again. He was sitting just one table over. "Hey, do you know who that guy is?" she asked her roommate, indicating the boy. "No. Why don't you ask him?" came the reply.

She mustered all the courage she could find in her small body and stood up. She walked over to his table, glancing at all the strange faces around him. No one noticed her. "Excuse me," she said, tapping the boy on the shoulder, "but I've seen you around campus all day, and your costume looks very familiar. I know you're not Itachi, but you belong to his group. Who are you?" He looked up from his food and smiled at her. "Well, do you want my character's name, or my real name?" he asked. "Both would be nice," she smiled back. He gave his reply and she thanked him and hurriedly returned to her seat.

A few minutes later, he came over and sat next to her. "Hi again. Do you mind if I take your picture?" He held up his camera. "No, not at all," she said, standing. He snapped the picture and thanked her.

***

It was two days after they'd met. She was talking to him over a popular networking site, waiting for the couple of hours to slide by so she could go watch the horror movie double feature with her roommate and another friend. She told him of her plans and asked if he'd like to join them. He agreed, and later they met up to watch the horror movies.

***

The four, along with another girl who knew them, decided during the time between the two horror movies that they were bored with the cheap thrills offered by the 80s. "We could go to my room and do our own dubbing of some anime," offered one of them. The five agreed and were soon underway with a special dubbing of Yu Yu Hakusho.

The girl's roommate, not really into anime, soon wandered off. The girl from the double feature also made her excuses and left. The three remaining students talked over what they should do. The girl began poking the boy, which soon turned into a poke war. "Hang on!" she suddenly exclaimed. "I'll go get my camera and we can make a movie!" She ran up to her room, grabbed her camera, and returned. They commenced the filming of the poke war, which ended with the boy losing his soul to the girl.

***

It was three weeks after they'd met. They were, once again, talking over the networking site. He'd been to an anime convention the day before. "Ok.
I have to go home and get rid of some of the things I got at the con. I was wondering if you would come along, but it sounds like you're busy," he said. She replied, "Oh, I'll come!! I only needed to run to WalMart to get clear tape...It can wait, if you still want me to tag along." The plans were made and the two met up.

***

The two were soon back in the town wherein their college was contained. Sitting in his van while he pumped gas, she thought, He's never going to ask me out. I like him so much, but I don't think he returns those feelings. He soon finished filling the van and they headed towards the college. Feeling awkward in the silence, she began to poke him. He burst into a fit of laughter. "What is it?" she asked, confused. "No, nothing, you'll hate me forever if I say it," was his reply. She poked him again. "Go ahead and say it. I'm sure I won't hate you." He sighed heavily. "Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked. Her heart nearly stopped. He just asked me out! This is what I've been waiting for! This kind of thing never happens to me! Oh, dear, what do I do? Oh! He's probably waiting for an answer! She smiled up at him and answered, "Sure!"

***

Eleven months later, the two lay in his bed. He looked into her hazel eyes, melting her heart. His hand stroked her frizzy red hair. "You're beautiful, you know that?" he said. She blushed and hugged him tightly. Eyes watering a bit, she said, "You must be an angel." He laughed softly, holding her back to look at her again. "If I'm an angel, then you must be the Norse goddess Freyja. You're the most beautiful girl I know." She blushed again and buried her face in his shoulder. "I love you more than I think you realize," he said softly. "No, I realize how much you love me," she replied, "because I love you just as much."

Ok, I really have nothing to say. I just wanted to type up some of the random phrases you'll hear quite frequently around this college. So, here it is! The super special college phrase list! If you don't understand some of them, feel free to pm me.

~"Yeah, I'm prarie doggin'."

~"OMG, once a fart started in my ass and then it moved into my vagina, and I totally queefed!"

~"Ok, you better move if you don't want vagina in your face."

~"Yeah, we could be the next Virgin Marys." "Yeah, but instead of one, God knocked up two this time."

~"That SO does not look like food..."

~"Shut up, you Fasian!" "Make me, skank!" "Get to your corner, you Fasian hooker!"

~"Squee! We get to color in class!"

~"Hey, do you wanna be the driver for Smith Hall in the bed race?"

~"OMG, I'm scarred for life!" "Why?" "The position!! I don't even think it's possible!!" *description of position in fanfiction* "Erm...It is, but he'd have to be VERY flexible..."

~"My panties are purple! No, wait, they're lavender." "Yeah, and mine are yellow!" "Mine are just white." "Mine are pink, teehee!"

~"Yeah, we were coming out of the convo earlier, and there was a condom on the floor."

~"Squee! You have Reese's! Can I have one?" "Sure. But Asian Alice can't have one." "Why not?" "Cause you'll get fat!"

Yeah, there have been some more disturbing conversations and phrases spoken, but we'll just leave those alone.

**Please note: Nobody in the group was offended by any statements made above!**
