   It Won't Be Much Longer Now...
I just got a call from my friend Summer. She's going to be moving to Jupiter Florida during her senior year to attend the highschool there, then go to Full Sail Art College there as well. I plan on maybe attending that very same college too, and she just told me that she's getting a two bedroom apartment and wants me to be her roommate.

Which is great because it's REAL close to the college.

Plus, I'll be with one of my closest friends, I also have a few other friends that want to attend the same school.

But, according to my dad anyway, that's still two years away and anything can happen.

Who knows, I might end up getting a scholarship for an art school in Egypt or something ^.^'

It seems almost too ideal too. I'll be living with one of closest friends in an apartment that allows pets, We will be going to the same college together, I won't be alone, and it's not far away from my home here or my older brother's place.

However, my dad DOES have a point, it's still two years away and anything can happen. Only TWO more years though. So now I'm trying to seek out a few other Art Schools that may be BETTER for me.

I'm still keeping Full Sail in mind, of course, but it's best that I try to find the school that I KNOW will be the right choice for me.

I would really appericate any names of Art Colleges I may not know about. It would really help. Two years isn't long, after all.

If anyone does know of one, just to make sure, I'm interested in creating my own manga of course, but also in writing, illustration, and character designing for things like video games.

Thanks in advance! Love ya all.

P.S. To AwesomeDuDe: I've read a few of your post about some of the artist on this website leaving and everything, so I wanted to just let you know alittle something. It may not matter at all to you, but even when I go off to college, where ever it may turn out to be, I still plan on staying on this website. Hell, I don't plan on EVER leaving anyway. I've met way too many cool people on this website, that includes you, and they've all become some of my greatest friends. So, still it may not matter to you, but you never have to worry about me leaving. ^.^

The Ignored Side of Life.
Today wasn't exactly the greatest day ever. My best gal pal was really heart broken today.

Her boyfriend has been lying to her alot. Turns out he was getting high and then lying to her about it. She knew that he was in rehab once before, but he told her that he had finally quit.

However, about two days ago, his mom caught him completely stoned off his ass and he was sent right off to rehab again. Now my best gal pal can't have any contact with him.

But, today, she finally made the choice to break it off with him. She said she just couldn't put up with his lies, and that she didn't know him anymore.

There is no doubt in my mind that she cared deeply for him and vice-versa, but her boyfriend is just a child. He's selfish.

I've never experienced anything like this personally. Hell, I still haven't experinced an actual relationship with a significate other either. But seeing her cry was making my heart break, and when I was alone later on, I started to cry myself.

Life just gets more complex as you get older I guess.

The thing that plagued my mind the most was the fact that I was actually longing to find a significate other to have a relationship with too. But with what just happened today, now I've begun to fear it. I was actually beginning to see the best sides about being in love, but now all I see are the bad sides.

Do I fear the risk of loosing a close friendship with that person, if something goes wrong? Or am I just afraid of going through the same pain my friend was feeling today?...

   Valentines Day!
Ah... There's so much love that you could just puke up a Care Bear!

Uneventful day for me to say the least, but pretty easy going. All I did was suck on chocolate heart lollipops. ^.^ YUMMY!!!

I only gave one Valentine out today and that was to my buddy Xero. Sad thing is, I also got valentines from three guys, whose hearts I have broken in the past. And I felt kinda sad.

(They wanted to go out with me, but I wasn't interested.)

Don't get me wrong, they are hot yes and we are friends and all. However, if I don't feel anything more then friendship for them then I'm not going to get into a deeper relationship with them. I'm not going to be with someone based on their looks.

Not only is it shallow, but it's not fair to that person or myself for that matter.

Other then that, everything was pretty good. Oh, and I posted the V-day pic as well. If you didn't already guess, Kurama was the one most voted for.

   *Cries*
Ugh!!!

I am NOT feeling well! My head has been aching and my stomach has been acting up all weekend. *whimpers*

I hardly ever ask this, because I am shy about it, but could someone draw me a picture of Akane or Mark to make me feel better this week? I would really like that.

Thanks in advance.

~*~The Most Beautiful Eyes~*~
Lance lay awake in bed, the smell of the hospital room was constantly invading his senses and the unfamiliar scent made it hard for him to sleep.

It had already been two weeks since he first came to the hospital for his transplant, and the doctors still could not find a donor. Lance had no choice but to stay at the hospital until they found one. There was no way he would be able to get around with his condition anyway. Because, he was going blind.

It did not surprise him at all about how long it might take to find a donor. After all, hardly anyone is willing to give up their own sight for someone else. 'People are not that caring. They are not that generous.' Lance thought to himself.

Lance rolled onto his side, and was just about to drift off to sleep, when he felt someone tugging on the sleeve of his shirt. He was about to ignore it, when he heard the voice of a little girl.

"Mister? Are you awake?" she asked.

Lance had been sharing a room with a seven year old girl named Nina, who was recovering from an automobile accident. Nina had arrived at the hospital about a week ago with a broken leg, and a few scraps and bruises. It seemed like she was doing well now and getting around fine apparently.

"Mister?" Nina asked again and tugged on his sleeve a little more.

Lance shrugged her hand off, and tried his best to ignore her. 'What a nuisance.', he thought.

Lance then suddenly found himself wondering about what the little girl looked like. Wondering what he looked like at the moment, and what it looked like outside the window of the hospital room. He also found himself wondering if he would ever be able to see again, or if he was going to remain sightless for the rest of his life.

A few tears began to stream from beneath the bandages that covered his eyes, and his body began to slightly shake while trying to keep his emotions in check.

Once again, he felt a small hand on his shoulder.

"Mister, do not cry." said Nina. "My mother says you cannot get better if you cry."

Instead of ignoring her, Lance rolled over to face her and gave her a small smile.

'She's still bothersome,' he thought, 'but I suppose she only wants me to feel better.'

Another week had past, and Lance and Nina actually became pretty good friends. Nina would often bring him pictures that she had drawn herself. When she had given him her first picture, Lance had reminded her that he could not see, but she just simply replied, "Do not worry. I know you will be able to see them soon someday."

All Lance could really do was smile.

One day, when Nina had brought him flowers she had picked, she leaned onto the edge of the bed and looked up at him.

"You know what, Mister?" Nina asked him.

Lance slightly tilted his head towards her and asked, "What?"

Nina smiled brightly and said, "When I get older, I'm going to marry you!"

Lance could not help but give a light laugh. "Is that so? Well, then I am very lucky now, aren't I?", he said with a chuckle, and patted her head softly.

About three days had past when Lance found out that the doctors had finally found a donor for his transplant. The operation would be tomorrow, and Lance was more then thrilled to hear the news.

Lance had told Nina the news after he had found out, and that he would be leaving the hospital to go to a different one for his operation.

"Will you promise to visit me, when I get to leave too?", she asked him.

Lance smiled and held her small hand in his. "Yes, I will visit.", he promised her, "I will also bring flowers for you too."

"Promise?", she asked looking up at him.

"I promise.", he said.

Almost a week had past since Lance's operation, and he was finally ready to remove the bandages from his eyes. Tears threatened to spill as the doctor unwrapped the bandages, and he was finally able to see again.

Lance was just about to gather his things and visit Nina, when the doctor handed him a letter from the donor.

Lance unfolded the letter and, even though it was very short, what he read tore at his heart.

Dear, Mister.
I guess I can never be your wife. So, instead, I will be your eyes.
Love,
Nina

The most wonderful gift Lance had ever received in his life, was a pair of the most beautiful eyes in the world.

Akane's computer died
Hey guys, this is Xero. Akane's computer has decided that it doesn't like her and would rather commit suicide than help her. So, sadly, the pictures she was meaning to post will be delayed. Sorry

   WOOT!
OMG! Yesterday was such a GREAT DAY!!!

First off, I finished all of my final exams so I didn't have to go to school that day. Then I got two packages in the mail.

One from my grandmother for X-mas, and the other was all the manga I ordered from AnimeCastle.com!

YAY! I finally got my Volume 1 of Hana-Kimi, Volume 2 of Gravitation, Volume 4 (the last volume) of Eerie Queerie, and the Desire manga. WOOT!

Desire is AWESOME! This one volume manga is something for any Shonen-Ai/Yaoi fan. Hana-Kimi is REALLY cute. The main character Mizuki kinda reminds me of Tae from 'Kill Me Kiss Me'. However Mizuki is still really kick ass! She rocks in my opinion!

   Still Alive
Alright, i know I haven't updated anything in a long time, but school has been getting in the way. I still have a big project I have to do for Art Class. Plus I've got exams this coming week on Wednesday, and Friday.

However, now it's the weekend, so I can finally relax for a little bit.

I'm at my brothers house at the moment. We just got back from the movies. We saw National Treasure, and I must say that is a KICK ASS movie! A new age Indiana Jones.

I command you all to see it!!!

Anyway, I WILL update new pictures this Monday or Tuesday. I promise.

Anyway, I'll talk to you guys later.

Lots of love!
