   Brats and Tats
Mood: Happy
Listening To: "Beautiful Girls" - Sean Kingston

Konnichiwa, Otakuites! Another day, another post. Man, I love doing these! xD

Yet another jiu-jitsu lesson today. The kids were being real brats today >_< One is a spaz, one has determined that I am his eternal rival (this, by the way, is a one-way rivalry xD), one could not stop talking loudly, and one of them started talking back to me, having an attitude with me! They are SO ANNOYING! My family thinks that I should do adult jiu-jitsu, because I am better and more mature than these kids. Oh, I am so sorry for sounding conceited T_T! I hate when people are conceited, but this is just one thing that REEEEAALLY gets to me! UGH >_
But I am alright now, I was just a lot angrier earlier. In today's post, I have a MUCH more interesting topic to cover. I remembered a conversation I had with my sister a few weeks ago. We were talking about tattoos, and what kind we would get if we could get tattoos. We thought we should get a sun and moon tattoo - she would have the sun, and I would have the moon. They are good ideas for tattoos, and they also symbolize our relationship as sisters - As different as we are, we still go together perfectly, and no matter happens with eveything else in the world, the sun and moon are still constant, and are constant together. You like ^^?

Well, after that, I really got to thinking about other tattoos. It occurred to me that some anime inspired tattoos would be TOTALLY AWESOME! I thought that these tattoos would be perfect for me:

-Kakashi's Anbu tattoo (on the left shoulder, where Kakashi has it)
-Naruto's Demon Fox Seal (on the stomach where Naruto has it)
-The State Alchemist symbol (on the back where Edward Elric has it on his coat)
-Roy Mustang's transmutation circles on his gloves (on the back of either palm, where the circle is seen on Roy's gloves)
-Hitsugaya Toushiro's 10th Squad Division symbol (on the back where the symbol is on Hitsugaya's captain's jacket)

Thus, the question of the day: If you could get any anime-inspired tattoo, minus the pain and cost of a tattoo, what would you get?

Until the next post! Jya-ne!

   Character Deaths Make SuperSaiyanJounin Sad T_T
Mood: Happy
Listening To: "Don't Fear The Reaper" - Blue Oyster Cult

Hello, Otakuites! I am sorry for disappearing for a few days! I really could not get on the computer for lots of different reasons: two sleepovers, parents, etc. Well, I am sorry about my last post. I was upset, and was venting in a very long post. Thank you for those who were, and always are, there for me ^_^

Speaking of my last post, you will not believe what happened. At my next lesson, Crosley-sensei gave me my stripe! He was messing with me the whole time! Ugh, that Crosley -_-;...xD So, although I felt like a giant fool (xD), I was very happy. It turns out, my dad got his 3rd stripe the very same day! We were both on the phone, laughing and yelling and congratulating and thanking each other at rapid speed. It was funny :] xD

I missed you guys so much! Sadly, though, I am leaving for a trip on Thursday. I believe I am getting back on the 13th, so I will be back next Monday. After that, band camp starts on the 17th. During that time, and the school year, my time here will be much more restricted, and my posts will probably become weekly things on average, but I will do as much as I can! You guys are definitely a huge support system in my life, and it has actually toned down my stress a lot just by typing these things out. The support and comments help me even more, so thank you! ^_^

I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix yesterday! Sirius Black's death made me very sad T_T I am always very sensitive to character deaths, so my eyes were all watery. I was like, "Sirius, NOOO! You are Harry's only family left! You can not die!!! T_T T_T T_T T_T" Ahaha, I am a dork xD But Harry's relationship with Sirius was so sweet, and I was so torn up when he died T_T Gah, I am too sensitive xD

Sirius Black now leads me to my question of the day: Which character death in an anime has torn you up the most? Or in a movie or TV show, I would like to hear all of them! You can say multiple people, too. Man, I must have a whole list!

-Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z) (All his deaths were sad, but the Majin Buu saga one was the worst T_T)
-Third Hokage (Naruto)
-Haku/Zabuza (Naruto) (The way their deaths involved each other in such a sad way, not so much individually, is what got me.)
-Maes Hughes (Fullmetal Alchemist)(He was too funny and adorable too die!)
-Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)(WHY????? Even though he comes back to life, it is still sad!)


Yes, I should stop now before I get too sad T_T If I spoiled anything for anyone, I am SO SORRY! I am such a hypocrite, I always complain about spoilers on the internet, but I did it this time! Sorry T_T!

Thanks for reading! Until the next post! Jya-ne!

   Countdown To The Disappointment
Mood: Sad
Listening: "Suzie" - Boy Kill Boy

I had jiu-jitsu today (well, technically yesterday, because I am posting this at like 1 in the morning), for the first time in two weeks. I was gone because of vacation, as you all know. It turns out that while I was gone, the other three students got their first stripe on their belts, and I do not have one. They are 9, 8, and 5, and I am way older! I work way harder, and am way better! Normally, I would not say such a thing, but I work SO HARD, and these little kids get their stripe first?

I know, this sounds ridiculous. But I was really proud of jiu-jitsu. I finally had something that I could be proud of, that no one could make me feel bad about; it was MY sport, my sport to love, to enjoy, and to thrive in. The 4th grader is a good kid, but the 8- and 5-year old are brats. It is ridiculous!

Then, at the end of the lesson, right as I was about to leave, Crosley-sensei called to me. I turned around, and, in front of everyone (it had been a particularly large class today, with lots of kids and parents) he yelled, "Maybe in a couple weeks you'll get your first stripe!" I was so humiliated. It was bad enough that I did not have my stripe, that the little kids did, but now, Sensei had to yell that for everyone to hear?

I am so tired. Because once again, I worked my butt off in jiu-jitsu. My back hurts really bad, even sitting hurts. I feel awful right now. I felt alright before, but re-telling the story just brought up my anger and frustration and hurt feelings from before.

*Sigh* I actually feel a little better now, now that I have vented some and calmed down. Still, I feel a little disappointed, really. I guess I held Crosley-sensei in such high esteem, I never imagined he would hurt my feelings and my pride like that. Every time I finally find someone to admire, they just turn out to be another letdown. You want to know about my last hero? HE SMOKED POT. That is what happened to MY hero. He did other things, but that was the worst. My last hero just hurt me in a lot of ways, and that was one of them. I will not go into detail, but it just goes to show you. I feel like the people I admire let me down, and that I always let myself down. I feel like a failure so much, that jiu-jitsu really helped me because I was doing so well. At least, I thought I was. But the stripe is not just some piece of black tape; it is not some accessory on the belt; it is a symbol of skill, and pride in what you do – earning a stripe is something that means a lot to the students that can appreciate martial arts, and not having it is a searing, burning reminder of all the times I have failed, all the times I have been disappointed, all the times I have been let down, and all the times I have tried to forget how much of a failure I have been.

Haha, I just realized something ironic. The song I said I was listening to, "Suzie" by Boy Kill Boy, totally relates to this post. I just realized that. The first part of the chorus goes: "Countdown, countdown, countdown to the disappointment". I find that a bit humorous, yet it still makes me feel bitter.

For whoever had just read this, thank you. The fact that I can talk to readers like you, and to have you really listen, means more than you know. Even if you do not comment, the fact that you took the time to read this makes my day. I love you guys ^-^ Wow, can I go ONE POST without being sappy about how much I love you guys? xD!

Well, I have to put the question for today: Has any hero of yours ever disappointed you? If so, how? Until the next post! Jya-ne! ^_^

   Back Home!
Mood: Very Happy
Listening To: "Sewn" - The Feeling

KONNICHIWA AND HAJIMEMASHITE! I missed you guys SOOOOO MUCH!!!

First of all, this may sound ridiculous, but I was very excited to get 4 comments. I know, lame, right? But because my computer will not let me upload anything to the site, most people do not know me, so comments make me very happy ^_^ I want to thank the people that read this, and comment, and talk to me. I love you guys very much ^_^

Anyways, Hawaii was awesome. We went boogie boarding, snorkeling, swimming, and we even went on a 5-hour waterfall hike through the forests of Hawaii! I got literally 50 mosquito bites! X_X But it was worth it xD

Nothing big happened, so I will not go into detail, I said all you need to know. So much for the big report I promised, right? xD But my posts are so long all the time, there are other things I MUST get to!

Well, part of my Hawaii trip consisted of watching the sunset on the rocks by the water every night. Totally peaceful, it was great. But on the last night, I got this totally random idea. I was throwing rocks into the ocean, and it reminded me of the way people throw coins into the water and make a wish. I did not know what to wish for, and could only think of people I would wish for, not things. So I threw a rock into the ocean for many people, and to me, each rock represented a blessing that I wished upon that person. I wished for blessings upon family, friends, even Otakuites!

I brought this up because I want you guys to know that I really care about you guys ^-^ I wished a blessing upon many, but here is just a list of some of you I wished for:

rena9451
Lunastarz
Iruka Sensei
just.me
Jakadow13
azure nightengale
Kokkoii-Matoku
aragorn1014
Shosetsu
Neko.Lover
Shiranui Kai
Sakairi-chan

My memory is limited, so I tossed another rock for anyone else I might have forgotten. This sounds so silly, but it meant a lot to me, anyways xD

Just finished reading Fruits Basket Volumes 10-12. Right now, I am working on a drawing of Kisa from the cover of Volume 10. She is SO CUTE! I just adore Kisa ^_^ I also drew Itachi, and will donate that to someone, just do not know who. Oh well, I will figure it out. I have to update art dedications, since I have decided on some more art, and have drawn more since that aged post. If you do not know about my art dedications, just check back in my old posts.

Wow, this has definitely been quite the long post! What can I say, I missed you guys so much ^_^ Thank you again to everyone who comments, read, and talks to me here on Otaku!

Ah, wait! I almost forgot! I have to have a question for the post, now, right? Hmmm...Let us see...Aha! I got it! Since this post was about my vacation, then the question can be about vacation! Have you gone on vacation at all this summer? If yes, where?

Well, there is my ridiculously long post of the day! Until the next post! Jya-ne!

   Leaving Today!
Mood: Calm
Listening To: "Give It To Me" - Timbaland ft. Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake

I know. I put a rap/hip-hop song for what I am listening to. But I heard it in the mall, and it is stuck in my head. Which is killing me xD

Well, I am leaving today! My dad is picking me up in a few minutes, and our flight to Hawaii is 5 AM tomorrow. I will be gone for a week, so leave some love for me while I am gone! ^_^

I will tell you guys all about my trip when I get back. I do not think I have any internet access while I am there, but I will miss you guys so much!

See you in a week!

   Wolf Youkai and Reference Artists...All In Another Day's Post :]
Mood: Calm
Listening To: "Hide and Seek" - Imogen Heap

Well, it is really hot over here, but I am having a good day nonetheless. I saw "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" last night. It was hilarious! Some people seemed offended my the message, but you know what I think? Do not be so thick-headed and just enjoy the humor in the movie. Do not get me wrong, I have my own opinions on gay marriages, but I did not concern myself with that, and loved the movie because it was FUNNY, not because of any particular message it sent. Sorry, but some people get so bent out of shape xD

I am going to see Hairspray with my friend today. I am not sure if it is any good, but I need to get out of the house xD Hopefully it is good, or else today will be a long day xD

Finished up picture #70 the other night. I am very happy ^^ It was of Hiei, again xD I am thinking my next picture will be of Kouga, from Inuyasha. I absolutely love him, he is SO AWESOME! He is one of my favorite characters out of all the anime or manga I have ever seen, along with characters such as Hiei ^^ xD

Speaking of Hiei, my first picture of him will be my art for the Referencing Club, once my computer stops being a baka xP I totally support the referencing club. There is nothing wrong with referencing, and shame on the people who bash it, simply because it is one other way of doing art.

I AM A SUPPORTER OF ARTISTS THAT REFERENCE. ART IS ART, AND AS LONG AS IT IS NOT COPIED, THEN WHO CARES HOW IT WAS DRAWN?

Thank you ^^ Love of all my friends and readers of my posts on the Otaku. And for today, a special question: Do you reference your art? I certainly do, and there is no shame in doing that ^^ Until the next post! Jya-ne! ^_^

   Nice Day
Mood: Very Happy
Listening To: "Maruko" from DragonBallZ (I know, I already used this song. Normally, I would try not to use one song twice, but this song makes me feel so happy, and it makes me want to dance it. I just love it! ^-^ xD)

I have no idea why I am having a good day, I just am. Having fun listening to music, talking with friends online, practicing my flute, it is just a nice day to relax.

Yesterday was Crosley-sensei's birthday. For those of you who do not always get a chance to read my posts, he is my sensei for jiu-jitsu. He is 28 years old. He has been doing jiu-jitsu for 20 years! That is SO AWESOME! I absolutely adore Crosley-sensei ^-^ He is so funny, and I love his accent. He is from Brazil, so he has a Portuguese accent. So, he will try to say "step", "stop", or "stomach", but he really says it as "shtep", "shtop", and "shtomach". Ah, I love it! xD It is hilarious. Crosley-sensei is a great guy ^_^

Unfortunately, I might not get to train under Crosley-sensei's guidance anymore. Because his dojo is too far away from my house to get there in time for class (that is, when I am leaving school, during the school year), and also because I am doing marching band for the first 3 months or so of the school year, my parents say that I could not handle it. I do not believe them, but what can I do? I cannot drive, and I could never walk there, I would die! xP xD So my dad says he might sign me up with a sensei in Livermore. I am grateful that I am allowed to jiu-jitsu, it has been amazing, but I really do not want to leave Crosley-sensei T^T I am like Naruto leaving my Iruka-sensei, and even though Kakashi-sensei is a great sensei, it is not the same. Bad analogy, ugh -_- But you get the idea. I do not think I could ever bond with this new sensei like I have bonded with Crosley-sensei T_T But I will try! Jiu-jitsu is a blessing, so I just have to cheer up and do my best ^-^ I know that if I can hold my head up high, no matter who the sensei is, and still become a talented jiu-jitsu artist, Crosley-sensei would be proud ^_^

Wow, that was long o_0 It certainly does not sound like I am having a good day xD I am, but that is just one thing going on in my life. Oh! Here, I promised a picture of Crosley-sensei, did I not?



That is him, that is my sensei ^_^ Hahaha, look at me prattling on. I can not help it, I am so proud of what I do =D

I practiced my flute for about 2 hours, and my mouth hurts x0 <--- me because I am so sore xD! Oh my, i really should do my homework T_T What a drag (Inner Shikamaru xD)

Hmmm, I guess right about now, I would have some question related to my post, but my post was kind of random xD Well, random post, random question. For coloring your pictures, what tools and programs do you use? I have a bunch of black and whites, and want to color them someday, but am not sure what to use. So, I thought I would ask my fellow artists what kind of coloring tools you all recommend. Thank you for reading this nonsense, whoever does! ^_^ xD Until the next post! Jya-ne!

Rock Lee, My Hero!!!
There are re-runs of Naruto on Cartoon Network, every weekday at 5:30, and today was the second episode of Rock Lee vs. Gaara. It was SO SAD T_T I got all choked up. I know Lee will be fine, but STILL. He fought so hard, and really deserved to win, but then Gaara broke his arm and leg. And when Temari scoffed, I was FUMING. Rock Lee is a true hero, and an inspiration to everyone.

Every day, I think of Rock Lee, because I look up to him, and wish to have such strength, will-power, and determination. He has been my role model when everyone else has disappointed me, and by picturing him in my mind when I need his strength the most, I have been able to improve myself greatly.

ROCK LEE IS MY ROLE MODEL, MY IDOL, MY HERO. MAY HE FOREVER BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS THE HERO THAT HE IS.
