???

What makes you a senior-level artist? I think I might be, cuz it says to wait 24-48 hours for your art to be reviewed unless you're a senior-level artist, and my last pic was up like... within two or so hours of me submitting it. Crap, I have to be a senior-level artist. I just submitted something under five minutes ago and now they're up. Soo... Now I just wanna know what makes you one.

   Awards

I got the art award and the office assistant award. Then I got a Waldenbooks gift card and a certificate for having a 4.0 average all year (highest average possible, in case you all have a different grading system), and I got a shiny gold star paperweight informing me of my name. It has my name, "4.0 & Go" (what they call it... We got to the college and eat lunch and stuff), and May 25, 2004. I had about ten or so more pictures taken by parents and the people, and then I got to go home, so now it's 2:30 and I'm home, woo! But on the down side, I had to shake hands with people four times today and had about two billion pictures taken... My soul has been gone since I was born, but I'm probably only gonna live until I'm about 16 now... *doom doom doom* I drew a bunch of pictures and scanned them in, but I haven't worked on them at all since. It's horrible. AWFUL! DOOOOOOM! They'll be up sometime or another. I'm busy writing. One of the guest speakers at the 4.0 thingies said for us to "hone our writing skills" because "they'll get us places." I leaned over to my friend and I'm like, "Yeah, they'll get me into a dumpster." Hee hee.

   School...

I have no classes at all tomorrow or Thursday, Friday is a 2-hour day, and Wednesday afternoon we have some Memorial Day thingy where we all go outside and suffer while the chorus sings and the band plays and woopdeedoo. Tomorrow morning is the 8th Grade Awards Day, and I'm like... 90% sure I'm getting the office workers award for giving up my study hall period to work in the air conditioned office. None of the rest of the school has a/c cuz it's ancient... Well, the auditorium and the band room are too... And I think I might be getting the art award, too. Yay. Anywho, Thursday is an "activity day." We're watching a movie I think... then we have like... activity time in the gym or outside or something, then we get to watch the talent show! Which my friend is in... singing... Not much else to say. I'll tell you what awards I get... I'll probably get like... none and be all disappointed, but that's okay too. I got pizza and pop for working in the office, then I went back to band, and my friend's like, "Well we got chocolate." So I went up to Mr. Dude and told him I hadn't ogtten anything so he gave me 2 candy bars b-cuz I'd made the promotional poster for the band trip that I wasn't even going on. Wooo! So I'm happy, let's party. I'm rambling now. I'll shut up. Talk later! Sayonara.

   Shrek 2

I just saw Shrek 2 tonight. That was funny. They made fun of two movies that I know of, maybe more, in the first five or ten minutes. ^_^ They were just spoofing all these movies... It was funny. If you see it, make sure to watch until after the credits. I partially saw the thingy after the credits, I was already halfway out the door and my friend told me to watch it cuz it was cute. ^_^ The cat is awesome. ^_^ The guy who does his voice is Antonio... somebody-or-other... He was in Once Upon A Time In Mexico, and I think, according to my friend's brother, he was in Spy Kids... Anyway, if you like funny cute animated movies, it's good.

   Update!

Sorry I haven't posted, my phones (and thus internet) got blown up by a thunderstorm and were out for three days. I went and saw Van Helsing last night... That's a pretty good movie. Lots of special effects and violence. Not a whole lot of blood, though. Van Helsing had a really cool outfit. ^_^ And Dracula was cool too. While in the mall, I bought some book of flute study music, since I refuse to be in high school band but I wanna keep playing my flute. Then I headed to video game stores to look for Dead or Alive. The first one. It's for playstation, right? Yeah, well anyway, I couldn't find it so it doesn't matter. So, with thirty bucks in my pocket, I headed directly towards the manga section of Waldenbooks and spent the rest of my money. Sort of. My friend was buying a manga and we combined so we'd get the "buy four books get one free" deal, so she got another manga, then my sister and her boyfriend were in line behind us and the cashier lady asked if we had a discount card, which we didn't, but my sister's boyfriend was so kind as to let us use his and we got 10% off, so we saved like... $15, I think. Something like that. But it still all cost $37... But who cares? Now I've got a DBZ manga, the first two Rurouni Kenshin manga (my friend has 3 & 4), the first Shaman King manga, and the first Trigun manga which was 12 episodes. The first manga episode thingy is different from the first anime episode... Oh well. But I liked the first episode... The first one in the manga is the one with the kid who wants the gun, and he's crying to his mommy in the cafe and then those bandits come in and supposedly shoot Vash, but he sends them home in their underwear, and there's the Nebraska family... That's the first one in the manga. I might go see Shrek 2 tonight, but I'm not sure that I will. Cuz my town is having the first annual "Sheep and Fiber Fest." Really stupid. They're herding sheep and llamas down High Street or something. LLAMAS! So I'm not sure that they're playing the regular movie at the movie theater because it's on High Street I think, and they're showing a documentary of... something... sheep industry in the town, past and present. This is something that would only happen in a dumb hick nowhere town like the one I live in...

Hi.

First I'd like to say that I did have a new fanart up, but I deleted it because I realized I still had my real name on it. Only four people had voted, so if they paid attention, I guess they know my name. Oh well. Not like they'll ever meet me (hopefully). Unless I become a famous author and don't use a pseudonym... In my current frame of mind, I plan on using one of those. Insecurity, you know. Oooh, I took this test today since I've had an A in history all year so far, and it was like this general knowledge history test, and I had lots of fun filling in little circles. I didn't know a single answer. Wouldn't it be funny if I got the award? I would laugh so hard I'd probably asphyxiate walking up onto the stage... Then I wouldn't be able to play my flute duet. Not like I'll be able to anyway, cuz I don't know how... This would be the first duet I've ever played in, I have to play it a week from today with the best player in the whole band, and since I can't read the rhythms very well, I have no idea how the stupid song actually goes. I took a writing test yesterday and I had to write about young people these days getting enough exercise. I had to write whether I agreed or not and suggest some possible solutions. That was fun. I love writing, and they gave me a nearly unlimited supply of time and paper, so I sat down and wrote what came to my mind. I ended up suggesting possible solutions such as chasing them down the street screaming "RUN, YOU LAZY CHILD!" (I would have put to chase them with a frying pan, but that's a little violent for a school essay...), going on family outings such as picnics. The kids would wander into the forest to get away from their family. It's exercise! Then the families could go hiking! To search for the kid that wandered into the forest. And... there was another one... Oh yeah. I said to send the kid out to do something, then lock all the doors and windows until the kid promises to run ten miles. Or the parents could set up a trade. Like... "You can play this game for two minutes per mile you run!" I honestly wrote all those. Those were my suggestions. Think I managed to persuade anyone? Hee hee. I also took the opportunity to diss school. At least I didn't have to put my name on my paper. My teachers would have killed me. ^_^ I'll tell you all if I get that award. Wouldn't it be sweet if I did?

   Woo Party!

I went to my friend's b-day party and was completely and totally tortured, but that's okay, because I survived, and I'm here and alive and I will continue to be alive until one day my enemies get so pissed they all gang up and buy a bazooka to blow off my head, and they blow off my head and it goes rolling down the hill and ends up at your front door (either that or it just falls out of the sky and ends up at your front door, if there's no hills around). That was a major run-on sentence. Anyway, so I had fun. I'm continuing my research on Zen and meditation and Buddhism, because I'm kinda going psycho and I'm gonna go all freaky this summer and turn into one of those calm, cool, collected people who meditate and sniff incense and say in a very calm voice to the dude holding a gun to their head "The world is too large a place for you to hate your neighbors" and the guy will get pissed at my freaky nonsense wisdom and calmness and shoot me (but I have to survive in order to have my head blown off by the bazooka weilding enemies.) Ooh, lookie. "Soon after his Enlightenment the Buddha had a vision in which he saw the human race as a bed of lotus flowers. Some of the lotuses were still enmired in the mud, others were just emerging from it, and others again were on the point of blooming. In other words, all people had the ability to unfold their potential and some needed just a little help to do so. So the Buddha decided to teach, and all of the teachings of Buddhism may be seen as attempts to fulfil this vision - to help people grow towards Enlightenment." Woow... Enlightenment. I still have no idea what Buddhism is. I think I need to fly to Japan or somewhere and find a Buddhist to teach me Buddhism. Then I can fly back and be all freaky-wisdomish, and have that freaky calmness that helps you have the emotionless deal and your enemies can't tell if you're scared of them or not and they get pissed and shoot you. But that's okay. See, I'm already a person who doesn't show much emotion (well, all those evil emotions like love.) So I can be like... split personalities! I can be the freaky Buddhist girl who talks wisdom to people who don't understand it, I can be normal happy retard girl who dances around singing "Fish Heads," (that's me now), and I can be evil devil girl who learns Karate and Kung-Fu and whips some ass! Woot! Yeah! And then I can have a split personality that is all psycho and emotional, and maybe I'll create these personalities and control them and get out of classes in school by going all psycho! Yes! Who's got freaky ideas in their head? ME! BOO-YEAH! Let's party! *runs away from man with gun*

   *gleefully ignorant grin* I have no idea what's going on. *another grin*

Hey, yo! What up? Just kidding. Man am I on a high. Well, not a drug-induced high, unless Yu Yu Hakusho is a drug. WOO! I watched the new episode, which was incredibly awesome, I just wanted to jump up and tackle Kurama in a hug at the end, but of course that's impossible. That's not the first time I've felt like hugging the TV characters. I wanted to hug Sanosuke once, but I blamed that on subliminal messages in "1/3 Purehearted Emotions" (Japanese name slips mind at current moment, for fear of making mistake, have written english translation. English stupid language, unfortunate I speak it). Anyways, so that was totally awesome; Karasu is a FREAK, though. See, everybody always told me he was gay, and I just decided since it was EVERYBODY saying it, there had to be something behind it, so I just went with it. Now that I see these episodes, I see that there truly is something wrong with that man. Maybe he's not gay, necessarily, but there's something wrong with him. Face it, any guy who goes around saying something about "I don't have to touch you, it's just one of the perks" to another guy and something about not damaging Kurama's beautiful face (okay, so that's a good thing, I mean, he could have just blown it off) because... what was it? Something about always being able to remember his face for comfort. Now, Karasu is a cool fighter, I like explosions and color-changing hair, and overall looks are pretty neat, vampiric and all, but... Telling the poor boy that his face is beatiful probably didn't make getting mauled any easier. Sorry, Karasu, but I think Kurama was kinda freaked out by the fact that he was being blown to bits by a man who thought he was "beautiful" and that touching him was "one of the 'perks'." Color-changing hair, that's pretty cool, the mad-bomb was awesome, like something I'd like to keep in a cage in my basement... I remember ages ago on a site caled Gametalk, I read a post on the anime forum that said something like, "Kurama's plants are really cool, but I wonder if he has any real strength. All he ever does is make the plants work for him" blah blah blah. Well as you saw on this episode (if you didn't see it, YOU DAMN WELL SHOULD HAVE, DAMMIT!), Kurama is pretty sweet with the martial arts. *has sudden urge to hug something. Finds cute stuffed fox and huggles* He woulda kicked the crap out of Karasu had it not been for the fact that he was weakened and Karasu was faster. Let's get on another subject. I'm suddenly into this whole meditation deal, right? So I go on google just to see what pops up when I type in "how to meditate." Some crap pops up, and I read it and decide that Buddhism sounds pretty interesting. Something about self-discovery or something? I was hurrying to read it; YYH was on in fifteen minutes. So anyway, after YYH I go and remember seeing something about Zen and meditation on the same page, and I decide that hey, why not look up Zen on google (google knows all, man! Google is da master! Master of all searches!). So, that's what I did. I looked up Zen. And I read this page, and it left me in a state of gleeful ignorance. I have no idea what I read. Something about Zazen, and Buddhism... What's the deal with Buddhism anyway? I think I'll start telling everybody I'm a Buddhist (I remember somewhere hearing something about Buddhism being bad or something? Care to fill me in, anyone?). People think I'm gothic, so I'll say "Fuck you, you gay fag, I'm a Buddhist!" 'Scuse the language, ye of sensitive ears. ^_~ So how do you like the new look on my site? Everything is black and red now! MUWAHAHAHAHA! Blood and evil darkness of DOOOOM! Yeah-woo! Yeah-woo should be my battle cry. Only if I'm going into battle, I don't think I'll be in the frame of mind to be cheering about "yeah-woo!" Oh well, not like it's going to change the world. My name, did you know, means "Mighty Warrior." My real name, mind, not Shadow. Yeah. That's pretty cool. It makes me wonder why I always curled up in a little ball when my sister beat me up when I was little (under the age of ten or eleven, I'd say. Around then, I flipped and kicked her, stabbed her with a pencil, and/or slapped her in the face when she tried to hit me. She always had a strange need to strangle me when she got pissed. And I was too stupid to do anything but scream the rest of my breath out, because I was a dum lil' child. Most little children are. Now she just throws stuff. Smart enough not to get too close, eh, sis? Lol.) I am seriously really hyper. I was writing my stories earlier for hte first time in a week or more, I think, and dammit I keep spelling everything wrong. "The" is spelled wrong above this... Probably multiple times. So anyway, I was writing my stories on a "WOOHOO, NEW YU YU HAKUSHO, GONNA SEE KURAMA WHIP SOME ASS!" And now I'm on a "THAT WAS SWEET, KURAMA SERIOUSLY WHIPPED HIS ASS, THAT WAS SWEET, KARASU'S DEAD, WOO! AND KURAMA GOT THE SHIT MAULED OUT OF HIM IN THE PROCESS, BUT THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE I'M A SADISTIC FREAK!" 'All pain is good pain unless it is your own.' Just made that up. Cool, huh? Lol. I'm gonna go now. I need to get writin'! Bye!
