   Hello

Time of Post: 10:18 PM(MT) Hi there everyone. Sorry I've been gone for a few days. I didn't actually go anywhere, but I've been kinda sick and haven't had anything worthwile to post about. But I'm here now! And I have three new fanarts to post! ^_^ Two of a new character that needs a name -I'm open to suggestions!- and my brother's birthday card. I hope you like them! In other news, I have discovered yet another new manga!! It's called 'Legal Drug' and it's made by CLAMP, the same people that made Chobits, Angelic Layer, Card Captors, Tokyo Babylon, Tsubasa, XXX-holic, and many others. I really love their style of art, so this is a real treat to read. Here's a pic of the two main characters that I am absolutely in love with! Heheheh, rude gestures aside, the one on the left is Kudo, and the one on the right is Rikuo. Charming, aren't they? Heh, well I finally finished that 98 chapter fanfic, and it was really good, but its still not finished. *sigh* Now I have to wait for them to update it!! Oh well, I'll keep myself entertained by reading the prequel! ^_^ Alrightie, well that's all for me! Ja mate ashita-ne!

And really long. It's 98 chapters!! And still going I think. Not sure yet, I'm only on chapter 20. I'll link it when I'm done reading. ie, either tomorrow or the next day.

   Allo

Time of Post: 3:14 AM(MT) Hello all. Yes, you read the time right, it is just past three in the morning. So why am I awake? Hell if I know. I think I might be developing insomnia or something. I'll have to get to bed soon though, my mom will be getting up to go to work in just a little while (she goes in at 4 AM). I just found this survey and thought you guys might like to know more about me. So, here it is: TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey Name: Erin Birthday: July 14th, 1989 Birthplace: Orem, Utah Current Location: Not gonna say exactly, but somewhere near Boise, Idaho Eye Color: Blue (with a little ring of yellow around the pupil, I only say this because I think its unusual) Hair Color: Dark Brown Height: 5"4 Right Handed or Left Handed: Right Your Heritage: Oh boy, where do I start? Danish, Irish, Scottish, German, ect. Eroupean would be the best description I think. The Shoes You Wore Today: . . . . I didn't go anywhere, so no shoes today, but I usually wear my black and white Vans with yellow shoe-laces that say "I have an evil monkey in my closet" Your Weakness: I'm pretty easily depressed. . . overly sensitive I guess Your Fears: Rejection's a big one. . . hmm, needles! But I'm getting over that one. . . Oh! I know! Spiders!! I hate those little buggers! I remember when one wiggled its fangs at me. I tell you no lie! I swear it looked right at me and wiggled its fangs!! Creepy little bastards. . . Your Perfect Pizza: Canadian bacon!! But leave off the pineapple. Goal You Would Like To Achieve This Year: Actually finish my submission for the Tokyopop RSOM contest. Your Most Overused Phrase On an instant messenger: "*giggle*" or "nani?" Thoughts First Waking Up: urrrrrrgh. More sleep please. (no matter how well I sleep, I always wake up wanting to sleep more) Your Best Physical Feature: Not sure, but I get told I have beautiful hands. Weird, neh? I dunno, but whenever someone holds my hand, they always tell me that I have really soft, slender hands. And I don't even use lotion. Go figure. Your Bedtime: During the school year? 11:30, during the summer? When I hear my parent's alarm clock. Your Most Missed Memory: Being care free and innocent. Being a cynical bitch is fun, but I did like being naive too. Pepsi or Coke: Pepsi!! MacDonalds or Burger King: hn, Mickey D's I suppose Single or Group Dates: Single, definitely. I don't count it as a date unless its just two people. Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: neither, I don't like ice tea Chocolate or Vanilla: depends on my mood, but chocolate most of the time Cappuccino or Coffee: Yu~uk!! I hate coffee in all of its forms! Blech! Do you Smoke: Nope Do you Swear: Hell yes! Okay, bad answer, but yeah, more than I should. Do you Sing: And burst all eardrums within 20 feet? I don't think so. Do you Shower Daily: Of course! Unless I'm sick, then I lay in bed until someone tells me I stink. Have you Been in Love: Close to it, more like a really really strong like than love. Do you want to go to College: Yeah. Do you want to get Married: Very much. Do you belive in yourself: Eh, depends on how depressed I am. Do you get Motion Sickness: Only on really long, really windy roads Do you think you are Attractive: . . . . . . I suppose. . . . I know I'm not ugly, but gorgeous doesn't really sound right either Are you a Health Freak: Nope Do you get along with your Parents: Yes, in fact - and make fun of me all you want, I don't care - I consider my mom one of my best friends Do you like Thunderstorms: I guess, they're pretty, but I'm not awed by them. Do you play an Instrument: Nope! You are looking at the most non-musical person on the planet! In the past month have you Drank Alcohol: Nope. In the past month have you Smoked: Nope. In the past month have you been on Drugs: Do pain killers count? Because that stuff they gave me after my surgery made me kinda loopy. In the past month have you gone on a Date: Nope. In the past month have you gone to a Mall: Yes In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: No. . . In fact I don't think I've ever done that. That just sounds unhealthy In the past month have you eaten Sushi: Nope In the past month have you been on Stage: Thank goodness no In the past month have you been Dumped: Nope. In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: Nope. In the past month have you Stolen Anything: Nope. Ever been Drunk: Nope. (man this is getting a little repetative, isn't it?) Ever been called a Tease: Not exactly, but close Ever been Beaten up: Does play-fighting count? Ever Shoplifted: Nope. How do you want to Die: That's a morbid question. If you'd asked me that two years ago, I'd have said in a pool of my own blood with a suicide note, but now I just want to go in my sleep, curled next to the one I love, hopefully with a life well lived. Quite a turn around, neh? And I did it alone. No one helped me with my depression at all, it was all me, (heck, no one even knows about it really) and for some reason, I'm proud of myself for it. What do you want to be when you Grow Up: Manga artist!!! If not that, then something with computers. . . or a voice actor. That would be fun! What country would you most like to Visit: Japan! Who'd have guessed that one? In a Boy/Girl.. Favourite Eye Color: Blue or green Favourite Hair Color: Black or brown. . . blonde is okay too. . . I guess I really don't care as long as its not red. And I mean natural red, like orange-y red. Dyed crimson-type red is fine. Short or Long Hair: long. I'm an absolute sucker for long hair. (Why do you think I like Duo so much?) Height: hmm, same height as me or taller, but that's not saying much because I'm a little short Weight: average I suppose, but slender guys are gorgeous! Best Clothing Style: Whatever looks good on them, but I am partial to clever t-shirts and baggy pants. Number of Drugs I have taken: none! I want a clean partner! Oh wait, is this about me or my ideal boyfriend? eh, if its me, none. Unless painkillers and that sort of thing count, which I don't think they do. Number of CDs I own: For them, it really doesn't matter, for me. . . a lot. I don't want to go count them right now. Number of Piercings: Hmm, in a boy, I'd like maybe one ear pierced, and maybe an eyebrow or lip, but no tongue. yich, that would make kissing weird. On me, only two holes in each ear. That's it. Number of Tattoos: Keep it toned down for the bf, maybe something subtle, but no full body stuff. For me, none. Number of things in my Past I Regret: . . . . . . . I don't think I'll answer that question for either me or an ideal partner. That's personal for both sides. CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS! Howzat? Boring enough for ya? Ah well, if you took the time to read it, I appriciate it. Oh, and I'm sorry, I don't think I visited anyone yesterday. Forgive me? *big wobbly eyes* Pwease? *grin* Oyasuminasai!

   I heart fanfics!

Time of Post: 10:31 PM(MT) Ack, I must be really boring if I have nothing better to do with my time than read fanfics. I mean, I could be drawing or writing, or doing something vaguely important, but nooo, I've been sitting here reading this fic for nearly three hours! >_< Issues, man, issues. But it is a really good fic; its kinda confusing to explain, but I'll link it so those who are interested can read it too. Its a Gundam fic, that has parallel universes, and it can get a little confusing, but the story ends up being well worth it. Click here to read it! I think its called "Two For Two". Interesting stuff. Well, I liked my dvds. I was a little disappointed with Hellsing, but I haven't watched it in Japanese yet, so I'll save my final judgement for when I've done that. I did, however, watch both the English and Japanese versions of Gravitation, and I love both!! I think I like the Japanese version a little better, simply because Yuki's English voice sounds a little weird. Heh, my mom watched it with me when I watched it in English, and she was a little weirded out by the whole 'gay' thing. It was funny to watch her freak out every time Yuki and Shuichi kissed. She would just kinda squirm and go "I'm not against it, but seeing two guys kiss is weird!" For some reason I think she liked Fruits Basket better. ^_^ Eh, speaking of Fruits Basket, no I haven't typed the first chapter of my fic yet. I meant to, but I was checking my email, and got a message that there was a new chapter to one of the fics I'm currently reading, and once I'd read it, I wandered off and found a new one and kinda got absorbed. ^_^" I do that way too much. Oh, and to those who are curious, I'm still short on sleep. I only got - *pauses to count on fingers* - four hours last night. Man, my problem is that I either get too little sleep or too much! Anyway, I had to get up early because I actually went to church today. *gasp!* Shocking, I know. I think this is the first time in nearly a month. And shockingly it wasn't as bad as usual. I still don't quite fit with everyone, but I didn't get the odd looks I usually do. Hmm, maybe I should skip out on my makeup more often for church. . . heh, yeah, woke up too late to do much besides pull my clothes on and brush my hair. I thought I looked awful, but eh, my church leader said I looked nice today. *glances at the no makeup comment again* Encouragement maybe? No go! I think I'll wear it darker next time just to irk them. I will not be a good little mormon girl, do you hear me?! Eheh, sorry, that's a sore spot of mine. I like my religion, but I don't agree with all of it. There are certain rules and things that just bother me beyond belief. But I won't go into that right now. ^_^" Let's just say that once I move out, I'm going to stop going to church and just consider myself a deist. Not to say that my beliefs will change or anything - I consider myself a deist now - but by not going to church, I won't have to be surrounded by close-minded idiots blathering at me how to live my life for three hours every week. Sorry, got a little deep there, didn't I? Gomen! Ja mate ashita ne!

   Just got home

Time of Post: 10:05 PM(MT) Ack, another night with not enough sleep! What am I to do?! Ah well, I would've gotten enough sleep, but I had to get up early to avoid getting left at home. It ended up being just me and my dad, and we spent most of the day birthday shopping for my brother. His bday is in three days I think. August 2nd. And then the 4th is my dad's. I need to get to work on their gift drawings! Anyway, on to the point of telling that I went out. I bought two anime dvds!! This is shocking how, right? Well because I almost never buy dvds unless its over the internet, but Hastings was having a sale, and I got two dvds for $25!! I got Gravitation vol. 1 and Hellsing vol. 1. Yay! The two mangas that I want to se the animes of the most!! I'll be watching those later tonight. We also stopped at an Asian Grocery store, and I got some authentic ramen, but I think I got the wrong kind. It's really spicy!! >_< Dangit, and I was trying to get the non-spicy kind!! Not like I'd be able to tell, the labels were completely in Japanese. I just guessed. Oh well, *slurps ramen* its still good! Oh, and a lot of you asked when I'll be done with my fic, and I'm really not sure. Can't predict writing! Heck, stupid me, I even started another fanfic! Gundam again, but not quite so blatantly yaoi this time. ^_~ I did finish the first chapter of my furuba fic, but I still need to type it up. Ooo! Inuyasha is on, I'm gonna wrap this up. Ja mate ashita-ne!

   Allo All. . .

Time of Post: 10:26 PM(MT) Well, I think I've caught up on my sleep. More than caught up actually. I didn't get to sleep as quickly as I would've liked last night (but hey, I made my goal of conking out before 5, so eh) but I more than made up for it. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I slept in until 4:30 in the afternoon. Ack, remind me not to do that again. Since I only had half a day today, I didn't do anything productive whatsoever. I just sat on my butt and read fanfics all day. Found a pretty cute DNAngel one that I can't wait to read more of. News on my Gundam fic, I'm stuck. I have two versions of the next chapter, and I have no idea which one I want to use. *squirms* One I think makes the story move too fast, but I love it so much that I don't want to just drop it, and the other sends the story in a different direction. . . hmm, maybe I should just re-write it again? At least my Fruits Basket fic is going alright. I'm still not finished with the first chapter, but I like the way its turning out. I think I might post it when I finish. Would you guys like that? Okies, that's all for now! Ja mate ashita-ne!!

   So. . . Tired. . .

Time of Post: 10:08 PM(MT) My friend came over today, along with another of my friends, and we spent most of the day together. I haven't seen either of them for quite some time, so we just talked for most of the time they were over. You know, catching up and all that. It was nice.^_^ In other news, I have discovered that I am severely short on sleep as of late. Not for any particular reason, I've just been having problems going to sleep. . . I've watched the sun rise three days in a row now, and I know that's not healthy. Don't get me wrong, I have gotten a little sleep, just not enough to be my usual cheery self. five hours in two days is just. . . ugh. . . -_-" Well, I'd hoped for more votes and comments on my latest art, but eh, if you guys are busy, I understand. Sorry I'm not too chiper today. I'm gonna go see if I can manage to fall asleep before 5 AM. Oyasuminasai!

   New fanart! ^_^

Time of Post: 11:35 PM(MT) I have three new fanart today! Two are from a birthday card I made for my friend, and the other is a pic of Shuichi from Gravitation, only in the style of the manga rather than the anime. Well, we made arrangements, and my friend and I are going to spend the day together tomorrow. Although I'm gonna have to get up early, but still, it'll be worth it. Oh! And guess what! I found out that some local anime fans are having a little party type thing on Sunday, and I might go. At the very least I'll send in my submission for the art contest they're holding. I can't wait!! If I can go, it'll be so much fun to meet other anime fans in the area. Ja mate ashita-ne!

   Yesyesyes!!

Time of Post: 10:42 PM(MT) Ya~ay!! I'm so happy!! Why? Because my best friend is visiting!! She's here until Friday. Well, not here exactly, she's staying with her grandparents, but we're going to hang out sometime this week. I can't wait to see her!! We haven't talked face to face since last Halloween! ack, I just realized that that's a long time. . . I've changed quite a bit since then. . . but of course I know we still have plenty in common because I just spent the last hour and a half talking to her on the phone. ^_^ She's one of my very few female friends that has at least a vague interest in anime. I even got her hooked on Ranma 1/2 when she still lived here. *giggle* Well, that's my news for the day. Not much else happened. . . I tried to draw something, but it didn't turn out. I'll try again either tonight or tomorrow. Okies then, make sure and check yesterday's post if you didn't see it, neh? ^_^ Ja mate ashita-ne!
