   News, news, news! Updates, updates, updates!
Hey everybody. How's everything going for you all?

Well, I was pretty depressed at school today for a couple reasons, but I seem to have forgotten them somehow. Is that weird? *sweat-drop*
Not that I'm complaining. Little old odd-ball me, forgetting my problems without the aid of hard liquor. ^^' Meh, they'll probably surface in my distorted little mind later.

Here's the low-down on what I do remember:
-First off, our Art Teacher needs us to bring in 4 childhood photographs tomorrow (as you may have heard me mention, because it was luckily delayed twice). I'm tellin' ya', I am not gonna' enjoy that! XP I hate ANYTHING that reminds me of my childhood, and it's even worse that other people are going to see it! I used to embarrass myself on a daily basis without even knowing it (I still do so, to a lesser extent, but know I realize it approximately 6 seconds afterwards). I literally cringe when my mind wanders (as it often does, since I'm a spacey day-dreamer) to some random memory I have of myself acting like an idiot in my younger years. >_<
I'm starting to think it may be related to a particular incident that happened a few years ago, but, I don't think I'll go into that now...

-Secondly, I got my report card today.
-_- I'm not going to go into details (like letters or my GPA) on that subject, but I will say I was really disappointed.
Plus, I found out I made a 60% on my most recent Algebra quiz. Naturally, I'm thrilled...
It particularly sucks because of Miyoko-chan's recent achievements, namely her INSANLY good grades and induction to the Honor's Society.
Regardless of my pity-party, massive propz to the ever-so-awesome Erin-chan for all her hard work. *standing ovation*

-Thirdly, a small bit of good news: My spacers have finally stopped hurting. ^_^ They're still uncomfortable, but it's about damn time I should be able to eat a damn PB&J sandwich again!
*sigh*, but I go in Thursday to get the full brackets on, and I've been told the spacers are NOTHING compared to those. -_-'

Ah, I'm listening to "Aces High" again by Iron maiden. I LOVE this song! ^.^

Anywho, I'll be submitting at least one of those 3 pics I said I had finished fairly soon, so be on the look-out for it.
Speaking of art, I've been in a pretty serious rut for a little while now. -_-' Though it was mostly because I spent both weekend-nights getting homework done early, I was unable to draw Friday, Saturday or Sunday. It sucks, 'cause I have so many cool ideas bouncing around in my head that need to get out! One of which is something that may lead me to do a new ghost pic...in color. O_o Oooooh, watch-out! Seriously unpredictable artist here! Next thing you know I'll be doing zombies in B&W! XD
I hate to get even more Emo-esque at this point (I'll stop in a second, don't worry), but I think part of the reason I haven't been able to draw is because, well...
Have any of you had that feeling amidst anxiety, depression and boredom that makes you feel that the day-to-day experiences you usually enjoy are just..."hollow"? Do any of you know that feeling I'm talking about? "Hollow" is just the best/only way I can really describe it. I'm hopin' I'm not the only one.
.....
Ah, sorry. I know I'm boring you all.

In a quick bit of news, ElvesAteMyRamen is back today. She still doesn't have a modem, but she does have some stories from her recent Anime Convention (she'll have pics soon, but dial-up don't take kindly to pictures, as most of you know).
By the way, sorry you didn't get a hyper-link from me, Elvzy-chan, but I figure enough of us have your site on internet speed-dial of some sort that it wasn't necessary. (Let me apologize for that MASSIVE bit of sucking up right there...)

Ah, now I'm listening to "A Change Of Seasons" by Dream Theater. I swear, DT is insanely innovative with their music. This song alone is a full 20 minutes long. They even have one that's over twice that long.
Speaking of DT, I got a new album from Harwood (that's his last name, by the way) today.
*rummages through backpack and reads its labeling*
It's called, "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory". I haven't listened to it yet, but that'll change soon. ~_^

Please pray that Karen (AKA; Living Doll) will start feeling better soon. She's been dealing with some pretty crazy crap lately, and prayer is always a good remedy for crazy crap.
Please also pray for LuckyLady123, who in lue of a response to my sincere message of support has instead decided to cut off communication with me and anyone else with no explanation. -_-' I hate when that happens...

"SakuraxSauke for Nayuki" (Nayuki is presumably a friend), by jojoju:

Aside from being clean, well designed, balanced and colorful, this piece is so utterly cute I nearly snapped a few capillaries. Show your <3 for Sakura and Sasuke.
