How doth the little butterfly...

That's wrong, but I always have that in my head. The title, I mean...I think I made up a different version of that poem that Alice was trying to remember in Alice's Adventure in Wonderland...Always in my head...XD

Anyways, I'm mad right now. I was going to scan some pictures 'n stuff, so that I could enter that crayon drawing challenge on here, BUT my scanner isn't behaving right at all...>.> It keeps drawing REALLY dark lines through the picture...I mean, when it gets on the computer, it's covered in lines, but the actual picture is fine (just a bit smudged)...

Hrmmm...I'm soooo mad...>:( WORK, PLEASE!!! TT^TT

Well, now I'm thinking about what I should buy on amazon...books, Near pajamas, or a new scanner...I could buy them all, but I still want money left over in case I'm hungry or something...TT^TT Lemme check how much they are...I have a crappy scanner anyways...

Okaaay...so they're really expensive...Ehhh...I guess I should just stick to only uploading cg art, even though traditional is more fun, and I've gotten much better results than on the computer...>.>

La-di-da~!

I really abuse this place...>.>

I abuse a lot of things...N-not physically! I'm too weak to do that! TT^TT Not that I want to...though sometimes I get really mad and frustrated...and....well, let's just say I shouldn't have children. *nod* *nod* I'm not a psycho! O.o

Well, I drew four pictures (eeek...No! Not the dreaded evil four!! TT^TT), but they're all heavily referenced, and I don't claim them as mine, they're just me practicing inking. One is of Light with his 'Just as Planned' picture, and then is a picture of Light on a computer...XD I <3 Light! XD And then another is of Kirakishou when she's crawling towards Shinku. And then the last on is a picture of Cain when he's in despair of having Riff die while he can't do anything about it...I lovezz that part! <333 Why? Because I've never seen Cain go so nuts and panic like that, I mean, there's parts where he's surprised or slightly panicked, but not so much at that part.

I like insane people...X3 I think you may already know that. I don't insane people in real life, they scare me, but I love the way how people are drawn when they crack. It's so...so AWESOME!!! <333

Oooooh....Mmmmm...Ali Project...Arakawa...how awesome...<333

I was just listening to that! XD

I'm oddly attracted to Ali Project, despite the fact that I get bored of their songs a lot...>.> There's just something about them, that if I actually switch my thought of their songs, I love them to death. O.o

Oi! I got an idea from Bakuman to copy scenes from mangas that I like that would add to my story. Not that I'm going to use those, that's plagiarism. Instead, I'll get the feel for how the scene should go, and that will help me....Though I hope this doesn't mean I accidentally do a whole manga...TT^TT

Ahhh...and another thing...Death Note...No, Near...I'm kinda depressed, and I just now connected the pieces. I'M TOO MUCH LIKE NEAR!! And I don't like it....TT^TT Well, I read some stuff about Near and they (the authors, or just Obata-sama) described him as childish, and anti-social...ehhh...what I don't want to be...but I really am childish and anti-social. And I thought I was like L because I like sweets, and I hold things weird...but I'm not eating all the time...not that I play with toys all the time (I actually don't have any, which is a bummer), but I like material things and video games, which could count as toys. And then...L sits in his chair with two feet, but Near sits with one foot on the chair...which I do, too...TT^TT And then the hair twirling thing...I do that, too (because it's so soft! X3). What else? I have bad posture...ermmm...that's all I can think of...but still, that's way too much! TT^TT NUUU!!! I WANNA BE COOL!! Like Mello or Light...Wait...why do I want to be the most psycho characters in the manga...because they're me favorite characters! Mello's first, though, but I like how light is drawn more than how Mello is sometimes drawn (stop it with the emphasis on the nose and the no eyebrows!!).

Reading Kuroshitsuji while listening to Ali Project....X3 *nose bleed*...Wait...that wouldn't happen...O.o I mean, it's really interesting that way, but, my nose has only bled once in my life and that was because I smashed into the corner of a table and cut in open...How did I do that? I slipped because I was wearing SLIPPERS...they're not called slippers because they slip on your feet, they're called slippers because they cause you to slip everywhere! >:( I hate slippers. Anyways, yeah...that and I don't think most people get nose bleeds from something that doesn't even cause blood to rush to their heads...just makes me at peace! X3

Okie, bye-bye! <3

Oooh, manga...

I've been reading more manga. I started reading Kuroshitsuji...and MAAANNNNN the art is beautiful!!! <333 But I still like Obata-sama's better...I also went back to reading Pandora Hearts, which I actually like the anime more...the manga just seems...ehhh...That's never happened before!! O.o

And today I drew my manga! I'm so happy I actually got something accomplished! I'm drawing it traditionally, and then putting tones on it using photoshop. I did about....9 pages or so...and inked 3...not well, but I can always fix it! ^ ^

I read more of Reimei no Arcana, which is pretty interesting now that it finally has a story! But...something about it seems cheesy...>.> But I still wanna read more...UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!!

I read the most recent chapter of Deadman Wonderland...yesterday, actually, but...it's getting really boring...I don't like what's going on with...ermmm...Wow, I forgot her name...Well, right now it just seems really mainstream and similar to Naruto. Bringing in new characters and all...But then again, I felt the same way when Scar Chain was introduced, so I may feel better...I still love that whole Super Monk thing! ^ ^

Until Death Do Us Part...wow....O.O The art...is sooo..AMAZING!! O.O HOLY CRAP!! His pants look like actual jeans!! O.O But it's kinda hard to follow...maybe because I've been reading 6 different manga at once...O.o

Bakuman, I'm on chapter 21, finally into the 20's...but there's 70 something....TT^TT Oh! I'm on chapter 11 of Until Death Do Us Part, and there's like 90 chapters of that, and both are still going, which I'm happy about. Bakuman made a strange point, that there's no mainstream popular angel manga...What!? What about Escaflowne, and DNAngel? Or am I mistaken since I've never seen/read any of those...>.>

And then there's Yoru no Kakaku, very interesting, but the chapters...they could be like movies, they seem way too long. Like one of the chapters, there was like a whole 3 year gap between the beginning and end...O.o So weird...and then I look back on it, and I think 'Wow, all that happened, and it seemed like year ago...' which it was supposed to be years, ago...but still, it took too long.

And then there's Kuroshitsuji, which is very pretty...but...for some reason....I just can't get into it...I'll have to read a few more chapters (only on chapter 2). The art is pretty, but...the comedy is...nonexistent, almost. I mean, there's plenty of comedy, but it doesn't make me laugh or smile...it just makes me...well, read on to see if there's something funny about it. I almost died laughing reading Until Death Do Us Part's author's rant thingy, about how he put ads on the internet for people who can be his assistant, and one of them had something about a bathing suit thing...it was so weird...XD

Pandora Hearts! Pandora Hearts...>.> I like the story, but the manga is B-A-D....>.> They all look like Chibis (when they're young, they're tweens, but they shouldn't look like Chibis)...and their heads are shaped funny, and the characters just seem to have no substance, and the story goes too fast or it's just abrupt or cheesy, like how he seemed like he was in a trance when he heard the music...Ugh, pul-eeze...T.T

Y'know what I REALLY hate in manga? When they say something like 'It feels like _____ is _______ing me'...ermmm...okay...so that's not what I meant...O.o That sounded REALLY dirty...I mean, like when they say about how the darkness or whatever feels like it's taking them over or something...>.> I hate it when they say that! I never think that 'I feel something strange inside' and what-not...it's annoying and stupid. And EVERY manga does that...I just have that T.T face...>.>

The more I read Bakuman the more I think about what I should to become a mangaka, and the more I realize how extreme it is...First of all, I've been drawing for almost ten years (will be ten when I'm like 17....unless I forgot when I started drawing manga....O.o I think it was when I was 7), and I'm not amazing at art...Well, it's not like I never stopped drawing once I decided on drawing manga. And why would such a smart person in school exist in the same manga as Eiji!? That doesn't make any sense....you can't have two geniuses in the same manga...>.>

I also keep thinking of ways I could make my stories better or something like that, something that could be popular and become an anime...which I've always wanted! XD But I really can't think of anything...I want an action manga, but I can't think of any action stories...wait-wait...NO! I have that awesome strange manga with that one character...*nod* *nod* You can tell I'm talking to myself...

But there's so many different manga I wanna do...I want to do an action manga similar to Until Death Do Us Part, or something like that (can't think of any action mangas right now except for that one), a psycological thriller like Death Note, a cute slice of life like Strawberry Marshmellow, and a romantic comedy like....uhhhh...*thinks of a shoujo manga* Chocolat? No....not that style, well, something in a cute style...But what style fits that!?

Maybe I could go for more of Obata's style...but....or maybe, I could just do different style for each manga. Like the manga I'm doing right now that I won't tell you about, the style is pretty simple, but I'd like it to get really detailed and intense for the most intense parts.

I'm thinking of doing a one shot shoujo along with it....Well, maybe not a one shot, but something really short. I've got this idea from my school, because the school doors are really hard to open them (I can't open them...most people can, not that I can open normal doors...but that's just because I forget how they work sometimes), so I'll make a character who can't open doors, and then there's those kinds of people who bruise like a banana, so she is really weak...and she's not supposed to be based off of me...>.> It just happened when I thought about I girl not being able to open a door, and then a boy came in and laughed at her, then opened the door for her...

So then from there, I noticed that most sports people are really rough, so why not make a surprisingly gentle one? So I'm going from there. A girl who is really weak and doesn't like being touched or anything like that because she is easily bruised, and a boy who's on the basketball team who is very popular, but is really gentle.

I might work on it tomorrow, but I have to do homework...I'll do that, and those other two manga. They might be in different styles.

I'm just doing these for practice, so neither of them are anything official or anything I'm really trying hard on. Just for fun and so I can figure out what I can change and what I need to do. One thing in particular is the angles of each frame....they're either from the side or right in front of the character....Ehhh...I think I need to fix that...>.> But I'm keeping the pages the same...

If I'm going to do a serious manga, I'm gonna do 'names' like in Bakuman! >:)

Okay! Bye-bye! I'm gonna go to bed! Then work tomorrow!

*yawn*

I'm sleepy...

I have a test tomorrow, and I've been studying for HOURS!! It sounds like I'm cramming, it feels like I'm cramming, but I couldn't not have crammed because she just told us that we'll be having a test over the definitions of the parts of speech, which we never learned in middle school because we had stupid teachers who gave us month long projects that we could finish in like a day or two...>.>

Some of these WE HAVEN'T EVEN GONE OVER!! TT^TT It's killing me...I can't memorize all these definitions in one day! It takes me at least a week. It took me two weeks to memorize the 'To be or Not to be' speech...I'm really proud of that because we were actually supposed to memorize short poems, but I thought the speech was cool, and everyone else chose short poems. When we had to recite ours NOBODY said even close to half of their short poems, but I said the majority of my poems so everyone got a bad grade and I got a 100% XD I have never been so proud of myself in my life! XD

Anyways, I'm not posting to rant...though I have random things to rant about...XD

I watched Ponyo today in film club, and nobody else had seen it before. It was okay, not Hayao Miyazaki's best, and since everyone was making fun of the whole movie, it never felt very comfortable...but I didn't really like the ending, it came too soon...it was just very random. But the worst part, THE VOICE ACTING!! TT^TT OMIGOSH!! IT WAS TERRIBLE!! TT^TT I HATE english dubs of ANYTHING, except Death Note and Evangelion because they sounded like they should, spoke realistically, and Spike Spencer has a KILLAR scream! XD

And I'm somewhat happy now! ^ ^ Well, we're still going to watch Dead Space, but since I doubt it's at Blockbuster, our teacher said that if he can't find it, then he'll just have to get some other anime movie, like Spirited Away (which is the only anime movie he knows because it one an academy award). But my brother and I, and most of the people I sit with at Film Club REALLY want him to get Princess Mononoke! TT^TT I love that movie...But my brother will be on a trip the day we watch the movie, so I don't really care, as long as we're not watching Akira, because I want my brother to be there to watch it, so we're waiting to watch that the week after next. And I don't really care if we DO watch Dead Space...I just won't go that day...since my brother won't even be there (because now I have a choice, before if my brother wanted to stay for a movie, I had to because he wouldn't let me use the phone and my parents didn't want one to stay and one to go, so we have to stick together).

Ugh....I've really strayed off of what I was going to talk about...XD What I WAS GOING TO SAY was that I FINALLY have an idea for a manga that I can really stick to because it's the kind of manga I can make up on the way and the readers will think that I have it all planned out! XD Ehehe...I won't tell you what it's about, just that it's a somewhat mystery and is very dark, even though it'll seem like a cute cliche shoujo in the beginning.

I will try to get started with it over the weekend because I have Friday off! I dunno why...O.o But I'm glad that we get a break anyways, and hopefully they won't give me any homework...I'll try using my pens, because I've been practicing with them...I really like my .25 pens...because you can do the strokes and the line will still be thin! ^ ^

Now to talk about random stuff. I just now noticed how I think. I think in words...like if somebody says something to me that's foreign, I spell it out in my head like I'm typing it in my head...O.o So if I hear something, and I'm not sure what they said, then I see the word spelled out in my head...then I get confused and ask what they said...it was really weird because I was talking to somebody, and they said something, and then all I could see was whatever I thought that word was...O.o So creepy....>.> I need to get out of that way of thinking if I ever want to learn the characters in japanese...though the 'n' 'no' 'i' and 'ki' characters are getting my head so whenever I hear that sound I think of those characters.

I dunno what else to talk about now...I'm sleepy...and I don't wanna go to school tomorrow...Oh! Talking about not going to school!

I'm mad at my friend because I think she ditched school today. Now, I usually don't get mad at that, but I have her for art and she's INCREDIBLY far behind in our abstract project. We have to make a still life abstract, but she kept restarting because she thought it was too abstract, or too real, or she wanted a different style...and she has just now began, and everyone else today is done with the outline and is now coloring...and she wasn't even here today! I think she ditched because yesterday she was fine, and my friend text(ed?) her today about an anime convention and she replied very quickly, like she was fine...>.> Unless she got food poisoning, which I doubt because she'd be too busy throwing up to text...

Oh! ANIME CONVENTION!! YES!!! My friends and I were going to another anime convention, but now we've decided to go to the one in Nashville, Tennessee, because it's closer than the one that we were originally going to. So I'm happy now because that means I have a greater chance of going to that one! ^ ^ And I REALLY want to go to an anime convention while cosplaying, because last time I didn't cosplay...

And Near wears socks, right? Or doesn't wear anything on his feet...what should I wear on my feet? I really don't know...O.o put socks over my sandals? Hrmmm....any ideas?

What a strange day...O.o

Today was a strange day. More like a disappointing day. Today I went on a field trip to a private methodist college (why does my school keep taking us to religious schools?) and the day started off where we had to go to our assigned buses. And since my last name is between A-E, I had to sit on the A-E bus, and all the people I REALLY don't like are on that bus! TT^TT What the heck!?

So then we get to the college, and I finally find my friends, and then it turns out that we have to split into groups, but they have to be with the same groups that we had on the buses! TT^TT We had to do some scavenger hunt and find papers all over the school that explains stuff about the school. I tried to get to our "leader" the one who is in charge of collecting all the papers so that I could understand stuff about the school. And I couldn't HEAR THEM AT ALL! Not that they actually read the paper. And the words were really small and we were all rushing, so nobody got to read them. And there were like 40 people per group, so it was very annoying.

We had to walk around a lot, which I hadn't noticed or really cared about, but all the people in my group kept complaining, saying stuff like ,"Can we sit down!? I'm so tired!! I've never walked so much in my life!" Wow...that's strange...I should be the one tired, not the sports people...O.o I guess I would be used to it since I walk almost everyday in PE, and I went on a 6 mile trail up and down a mountain, with flies everywhere, without any socks on...So I'd think I'd be used to walking...O.o

And then we finally get into the lunch room place to have the apparently "delicious" food (I had some, it was good, better than at my school, but not much better...still had a strange taste, at least it wasn't soggy), and all my friends went in, and then they went back outside with their group!! TT^TT Apparently they had to go on some tour, and then later my group had to go on the same tour. And it completely messed everything up! So it took me and my friends like 30 minutes or more to find everyone, plus the lines to the food were ridiculously long...O.o And all so we can see some stupid gym that nobody really cared about...>.>

I had a piece of pizza, a brownie, and a cookie...while everyone else had like a TON of everything else...O.o My PE teacher who is always telling us how he hardly eats anything filled his plate up with about two of everything...O.o And there was a TON of food...At school, he usually does the same thing. And then he says in school that when he was a kid he ate a lot of more because he had such a high metabolism, and so he asked other people in my class how much food we eat at lunch, and I guess he gets a bit confused or something because we tell him that we either don't eat any or have a little bit of this and that, but not that much...XD

Then we finally got back to school and we had to play in the parking lot because all the cool people *cough* I mean the upperclassmen we in the gym. BUT I WANNA BE IN THERE!! TT^TT My brother was in there!! TT^TT And most of my other friends! TT^TT And it was actually pretty cold outside at that time, and we really wanted to get into the gym...but the teachers wouldn't let us.

And then our principal gave us a talk about bullying separate from the boys...and then when we went back outside, they were nowhere to be seen...so I hadn't seen any boys for the rest of the day...O.o

Two of my friends and I just went where they told us to, into one of the teachers rooms, and since we were allowed to have out ipods and cell phones out, my friend let me play Final Fantasy, the first one, I think. My other friend was complaining about how the graphics sucked, and we tried to explain to her how old it was and that it was on an ipod, so it couldn't be helped! Graphics mean nothing! Game play is the most important thing! And the game play I hated, that and it was touch screen, so it was really hard to do anything without making a mistake...I battled a few enemies, nothing exciting or anything, I just kept on comparing it to Chrono Trigger, because it's somewhat similar, the game play, only that in Chrono Trigger you get to choose what attacks you want to use when you first start the game, not just clicking on the attack button and attack something, then have nothing else you can really do except defend and flee...>.>

Then I was apparently supposed to have an orthodontist appointment, and my dad picked me up early. And then while we were going there, my brother called that there was a Film Club meeting, and I wanted to go because I thought it was about the whole Dead Space thing. When we got to the orthodontist, it turned out that it was next week, so we went back to school, and it was over, so I rushed to the club meeting room, and THERE WAS NO MEETING! It was a mistake in the morning over the intercom...

So why did my brother call us that afternoon almost after school, even though she corrected the mistake that afternoon...O.o So I went into two places I didn't have to go into.

And then the confusing day at school was finally over and I was at home to relieve my stress with new chocolate cheerios...Which aren't really that good, they just take like cocoa puffs, but they're cereal with sugar, and that I'll take! XD

Okay...my pinky hurts for some reason now...even though I don't use it to type...maybe because it's been sticking out this entire time...I'll stop typing now...

Bye-bye! ^ ^
