Now how long has it been?


Introduction

If you haven't noticed yet, I'm Zakuro Rose. You may call me Zakuro, Rose or ZR for short. I'm a girl with a hint of tomboyish-ness and is a bit eccentric.

I usually write about the two main characters from a light novel I am making that I hope will be published and turned into an anime someday. Please do not steal or copy any of my stories, drawings, original characters, or plot ideas (I'm really lenient with this one, so if you really want to use it just do something to make it distinctive) without my permission.

I do take requests for stories and artwork, but please remember they are only requests. Please go here to see things that you should keep in mind when placing a request. An agreed request might take along time to finish since I procrastinate, am lazy, and have to be in a writing/drawing mood. I also do trades! Please go here to place a request or trade.

I also have a wide taste in music. I like hard rock, alternative rock, rapcore, and alternative and nu metal. Some of my favorite bands are Linkin Park, Papa Roach and My Chemical Romance.





Updates

Mood: pensive (Writing mood!)

Current Fangirl of: umm... Hiei and Pinocchio

Current Music: Guitar Hero III and Papa Roach

Hi guys! Anyways, myO hasn't been active for a while, has it. I thought I was kinda overdue for a post. So yeah...

Okay, everyone's been talking about this, so why not I? (I'll give you three seconds to think about what. 1...2...3) Yeah, Version Vibrant. I just read that a lot of people think that myO is being replaced by the worlds. Sooo not true. They said that myO is getting a remake too. People who use standard layout will actually have choices about what they want the layout to look like (I belive it was four choices). However, theO is really confusing me. And I think I haven't got used to all the white (Ahh! My eyes!). I miss the news not being on the home page, though. But, honestly, I'm really glad Adam didn't go with pink. For those of you who don't know, Adam originally wanted to make the new theO layout pink (seriously).

News on the writers' site (The Renaissance). I decided to make a world for it instead of a separate account. I think it will be more open to people that way. I don't know how all the stuff works yet, though. I want to be moderator of it, and I want to review all submissions before they're posted to check for spelling, grammar, and to make sure it's not *censored*, if you know what I mean. Like stupid (as in OMG, you have no skill/originality) fanfics, or pointless posts. But when I figure it all out, I'll let you guys know.

Recently, I've been working on redoing all of my artwork. I figured out to make it even higher quality, as well as a couple of tricks to make coloring (more specifically shading and highlighting) faster. Lasso tool! So far, I'll I've got is concept for Hiei, Chase, and my OC colored. I'm really happy about how Hiei and Chase came out. This is the newest version of Hiei's concept art, and looks so much better and consistent. Chase's, to me, looks pretty close to his anime counterpart, with the exception of a classier hairstyle, more elegant eyes, and his hair tied back. I believe that the hair-, eye-, and hair highlight-color has been retained (for Hiei, it all has been retained). However, not so much with Rose. I think it's just the way the inking came out. I don't know, I'll see when I'm finished.

If any of you guys are wondering, I'm not gonna submit it. Those are kinda...personal drawings, I guess. No offense, but I don't want everyone to able to draw my characters since it would make the stuff seem less original 'cause I know there's always that there's one guy out there who claims it all as his own (look at photobucket). The drawings contain 5 or 11 clear concept artwork and a breakdown of how the eye looks. However, I might put a sample of them up (with comparisons to their original counterparts) ^_^

BTW, Swords411, your request has been drawn and inked (I like how it turned out). I'll color and submit it ASAP. Refi-chan, as soon as I get the smack of insight, I'll start drawing it. Nothing has come to me yet.

Umm...I think that's all I got. Oh! I made a CO2 powered dragster (drag racing racecar) for regional competition and came back in eighth (It's not full size, BTW, about the size of those model toy cars...I think). I'll get a pic for you guys if I can. It's name is Shadow Prototype 2 (after Shadow the hedgehog). Why Prototype 2? Last year I made cars Shadow Prototype (never raced) and Shadow (raced at Nationals/Internationals (it's not big internationally so even though European countries come it's still called Nationals) and placed 108/151, good for an first time racer apparently). The car going to Nationals this year will be called Shadow the Second, and the one going to state will be Shadow Android 2 (to correspond numbers). Heh, I wonder if you guys understand any of this.

Now I think that's all I got. Okay, question time!

Ok, first. Whoa. Refi-chan, when I read your edit I got the smack of insight for a new theme. Thanks! ^_^

1) What your favorite line from a song? What does it mean?
Answer: I like the line “Oh how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying” from an older MCR song called “Our Lady of Sorrows”. I think the line is pretty self explanatory. I’ll make you guys think ^_^
2) Any manga, anime, or book that you just got recently that you would recommend?
Answer: I went out of town and came back with a new manga series named “Murder Princess”. Even though the creater was trying to crush it into two volumes, it’s a really nice story (except for the unanswered questions at the end due to the crunch) and artwork. I mean, you don’t get to see a bounty hunter’s soul getting switched with a naïve and frail princess’s soul every day. =P

New questions:

1) Does anyone know how to work the worlds? I’m stumped. Please help me!
2) Does anyone know how copyright laws work? I tried to find out to see if I can get some stuff copyrighted, but reading things equivalent to legal documents just made my head hurt.
3) Just a head count, who would like to join the writer’s group once I get it running? Or, who would like to read the articles on it, for non-writers? Don’t worry, you won’t hurt my feelings if you say no. ^_^ I just need to get a glimpse of who the audience might be.

Alright, I think I updated enough. I’ll see you guys on the flip side!

Artwork and Story Requests

Please keep this in mind when making a request:

Your request is more likely to be accepted if it is about a anime, manga or game I know of. Go here and look under the section "My Favorite Characters from Anime, Manga, Comic, and Video Games" to find out about shows I know and favorite characters. And if you want to get an idea of how/what I write, look under “Author’s Notes” in the above link.

No yaoi or yuri, or anything of the like

I am not very good with love stories (drawings are okay), in my opinion. I can try though. I do not do nudity or strong sexual content (especially in drawings). I can do light sexual content, but it will be nothing more than barely PG-13. In short, no hentai but some ecchi.

I warn you, I'm no good with animals

Be specific in what you want or else what you don't mention is up to me.

If you have any questions or if you want to make a request or trade, PM me

Updates

Hi guys! How are you? Sry for not being on lately. It's been like "I'll get to it later" then later it will be "I'll get to it later" and then the never ending cycle.

And an update on my health (I was sick a couple weeks ago). The stomach cramps just kinda disappeared so as to how it came and went is still a mystery. However, now I have a nasty cold with a sore throat, headache, and everything else. Oh well.

Um...ok. About the new Season 2 Gunslinger Girl, it's actually not as bad as I thought. After downloading raws and subs, I find it's very good and has potential for improving over the season. It's like, at the opening of a manga series (or anime, perhaps) that the artwork may not look to clean or attractive, but over time it cleans up and starts to look better (like YYH). Though the second season will never match the first season, if you view S2 as if S1 never existed, you'll find it very good and is practically the same as S1. S2 is more "Cute little girls with guns" (as the manga tries to illustrate), closer to the manga, and less melodramatic. One thing, however, that they really need to work on is fight sceens. They overuse the speed lines and slow motion techniques. Other than that, it would be fine. But I think you get my point.

Oh, and how did Pinocchio turn out? His design was actually very good. They just replaced his cigarettes with a pendant. Hehe. Let's see if I can get some screencaps for you guys.





The first picture is his pendant thing that was, I believe, given to him by his adoptive father. As Pino says, that his adoptive father is everything to him. How sweet! However, to bad his "father" doesn't view Pino as his "son" until the day he dies.

Umm... okay. I think I have some questions I never got back to since... November? Anyways:

1) Any good tips or places to refer to for layout help?
Answer: Thanks to Die Before I Wake for showing me how to do (quick) layouts. I had this up for a while but... ^_^

2) Will you vote? (Refering to the time period where my story starts)
Answer: I haven't for sure decided yet, but I'm probably gonna start with after the YYH series ends. Oh, by the way Refi-chan, thanks for the advice. And the drawing of Hiei and that other girl, well the other girl was the OC person Rose I've been talking about for so long (His best friend/half-sister through adoption).

3) Any other good ways you guys got for starting stories?
Answer: I've got no answer. I found it's whatever fits best.

New Questions:

1) What your favorite line from a song? What does it mean?
2) Any manga, anime, or book that you just got recently that you would recomend? (I just got YYH vol. 14! Hehe)

Alright guys! See ya next time. "Just remember it's not goodbye. Just goodbye for now" (In reference to a play I saw last summer)

Updates

Alright guys, not exactly one week later but...

Well, a couple things this time. As I said, I have high quality pics of the fanart from last time, that will be a bit later. And, though most of you probably don't know what it's about, the second season of Gunslinger Girl (Pinocchio Arc ^_^)

Well, I saw the raw first episode as well as their official website for pics (I can't read Japanese). I just found out that it was made by a different animation studio after I noticed the animation was different. At first I thought it was horrible, but I'm starting to warm up to it. I think it was because they're little artworks they but for character bios looked like a cross between a chibi and a badly drawn normal person. The design for Pino (on the website) doesn't look as bad as I thought based off the impressions that the other one gave me. Take a look



This is him. I can't exactly tell, but in the little selection thing, he looks like 6'3" or something, but that can be debated. Hopefully, but probably not based how everyone else turns out, he will look something like this:



Pino's the guy in the foreground with the red shirt, Triela's the girl with the gun, to the left of Pino is his adoptive father Christiano, between Pino and Triela (by the car) is Franco and Franca (respectively), to Triela's right on the top is Henrietta, and bellow Henrietta is Triela's partner Hilshire (sp?). Well, I guess we see how he turns out on Monday.

Ok, next. Ummm...I went to the doctor yesterday for really bad stomach cramps. I don't know why I had them, and neither did my doctor. I had to go do all these tests, which all said it had nothing to do with my internal organs. She said I probably had the stomach flu without any other symptoms, which is probably true because my good friend Emily came to school with the flu. *shrugs*

Ummm...I'm just gonna give you guys the pics now. Go to my portfolio to see the descriptions. Word of caution: they are really big.

Tween Rose

Chibi Jonah

Jason Smoking

The Twins Hugging

As well as some older ones.

Tayuya

Rebecca

Ok, well, that's all this time! Cya guys and have a nice week!

Finally!

Updates

Well, Happy New Year you guys. And, as I promised, five new fanarts have been added.


Tween Rose

Hosted By theOtaku.com.

This one is my long awaited (in my eyes) OC, Rose. She's been talked about in several of my stories. This version of her is probably in her tween years (hence the title). However, she is generally depicted as 17. Her hair used to be long and had a different style. I cut it short and made it a bit spikier to make her a bit more tomboyish. The only thing I could probably say was completely carried over was her eyes. Maybe I'll post one of the drawings I have of her with long hair (and about this age). She is demon by the way (referring to it is in a YYH universe.)


Chibi Jonah

Hosted By theOtaku.com.

The second one is of one of the characters from a series I did a review on a couple months back (Amazing Agent Luna) named Jonah. However, the color has been changed so he would fit into my light novel like he's supposed to. He's the son of Rose and her husband (which I'm getting to in a second). I like his eye color which is supposed to be blue-grey. He's supposed to have the same eye, hair, and skin color as his father, and a resemblance of his mother's personality.


Pinocchio Smoking

Hosted By theOtaku.com.

The next pic is Pinocchio from Gunslinger Girl. The resolution turned out the worst on this one since theO doesn't accept .png format. *growls* Anyways, fitting into my novel, he is Rose's husband and his real name is Jason (I forgot why a named him that) with Pinocchio being his assassin codename (but everyone still calls him this). If you notice, he has the same eye, hair, and skin color as Jonah. This was the most complex pic I have done yet. With so many lines, a background (the tree, not including the color, turned out good), and the whole thing colored. The pic was based off a scene in the Gunslinger girl manga in the late Pinocchio Arc.


The Twins

Hosted By theOtaku.com.

Ok, this is the first one of both the main characters together since Rose had her makeover. (If I'm right, there was only one other pic of them together, and that was two versions of her ago.) Anyways, even though the title calls them twins, they aren't. They just have twin "properties" (height, hair color, eye color, etc.). They are (in my light novel, which I forgot in the description) agnate siblings (siblings through and adopted father). However, since they look really similar and share the same birth date (long story), everyone calls them twins when referring to the both of them. To clear things up right now, even though they are very intimate, it is NOT a pairing. They are best friends as well as siblings. The story, however, is long, and I haven't worked out all the bugs in it either. Maybe another day. Last thing, Hiei's hair is freakin' hard! It took me forever!



The last one is my first attempt at Hiei. (The previous one was the most recent one.) Even though Hiei is my favorite character of all time, I'm not happy with the outcome of the pic...

Okay, breaking news, I just deleted that pic. I just realized that the black part of his shirt was done in two different colors, which stand out and make it look really messy. I'll post it up again ASAP.

Well, that's it. I really wished theO accepted .png files. Then all the pics would look sooo much cleaner and smother. I think I'll upload it to my photobucket account (if it accepts it) and show you guys again next week, or something.

See ya!

Updates

I'm redoing my site at the moment, so it will be a bit messy for a while.

Alright guys, really quick but good news. Check back here on January 1, 2008 'cause we're starting off the new year by adding all five pieces of fanart. To give a taste of what some of those pieces are, one of the pieces will be my version of Pinocchio from Gunslinger Girl (slightly different colors), another is a first look of my long talked of but never seen OC, Rose, and another of her and her bro together. And that's only three.

See you guys there and Happy New Year!

Updates

SHHH!!! I'm not here!

Hehe. Okay, I said I wouldn't be on here 'till I got the fanart done. Well, felt I'd give you guys an update:

1) First on the list I want you guys to have a belated Merry Christmas (for those who celebrate, otherwise Merry *insert celebration here*) and a Happy New Year. ^_^

2) Alright, bad news first. The quiz is making its way to finish. However, it will not be posted until after Version Vibrant of theO is launched (whenever that is).

3) Better news, but not the best. The fanart is also making its way to finished. The goal was set by Swords411 to five fanart submissions. All of them have been drawn and inked. All that is left now is coloring. Two of them have been colored. The third one (the most complex one) is half-way finished. I'm debating on whether to post them at two separate times.....I don't know.

Anyways, for a real post, check the last one. In the meantime, feel free to tell me about your holiday. ^_^

Updates

Mood: relatively happy
Current Fangirl of: Kai (from Rose Hip Zero), Hiei, and Chase

Hi guys! How are you? I kinda hyper-tired right now. Sleep deprivation psychosis... ^_^ Anyways, I got some good and bad news, and then random stuff, and then a BIIIG favor I need you guys to do for me.

First: some bad news. One snake43 is also removed. I believe that to be my friend, that you should come visit me when you can, if I come visit you. That's why I have the rule placed (you know it or you don't, but I'm not saying is so some smacktard can come thinking I'm some fool). I am deeply sadened about people I visit alot, but never come to visit me. But thank-you to all of you to do. It's greatly appreciated ^_^

Second, the launch of my other account The Renaissance is being postponed ('cause I was going to start putting up links now right about this time). This is because of a couple of reasons. I won't lie and say that it's not because I haven't wrote anything, because it's partially true. But the other part is so much cooler, it's going to have a really nice layout. I will not have an obvious theme to a particular anime or manga since I want it to be a site that promoted "open-minds" and I feel that having a background to only specific anime promotes "closed-mindedness" and "favoritism" which should be avoided in writing. (When I say favorite, I don't mean that there shouldn't be main character and such). But you get my point. But it's going to be really awesome, and once I've got a layout for that, I'm going to make a new layout for this one, or at least until the background that's in production is done (which I just had the smack of insight, which I will explain later). Unfortunately, though, learning how to do layouts is kinda confusing. The worst that would happen is that I can't figure it out and have to wait until next year when I take a web design class.

On a better note, though, is that the compy is working again. Unfortunately, many, many things were lost in translation (or transferring ^_^) of hardrives. The good news of that? I've recovered the YYH quiz document. Though, back to the bad news, all documents regarding my book were lost as well as 80% of my music. I think I had more good news, but I can't remember.

Well, I decided not to show my face (unless commenting your sites) again until I've came up with more artwork. Sooo...hopefully that won't be long. I'm so lazy. I'll always start a project and never finish. I have about 10 waiting for me right now (I'm serious).

By the way, I want to say I feel really bad for Chester Bennington. The lead singer for Linkin Park is always getting hurt. About a month or two ago, he broke his wrist pretty good after getting his foot caught on the stairs and falling about 10 feet during a show in Australia. Then, a month later or so, he was sent to the emergency room to get stitches in his lip. Apparently, he was playing tennis when the ball and the racket his mouth. Poor Chester..... He reminds me of my friend who got the stitches in the head 'cause she's always getting hurt, too. By the way, she's doing fine. She got the stitches out, and is suffering no (apparent) brain damage.

Ummm... Oh! I also figured out that thing where you can move the text on a site without moving the background. If anyone's wondering, let me know! ^_^

Uhhh...Okay, let's just move on.

Alright, I got a big favor to ask you guys. I want to start writing my story, but I don't know where to start. I've been having this problem for a while, but that smack of insight hasn't come to me for this...yet. Hence I said yet, 'cause that's where you guys come in. You guys get to vote on where you think the story should start. But before you vote, let me give you a bit of information about the story first.

The story is technically a fanfic by definition of a fanfic, though I never think of it as such. Anyways, the story is kind of Yu Yu Hakusho as I would have it, plus a whole bunch of other stuff. Anyways, our main characters are Hiei and another OC girl named Rose. No, this is not a pairing. However, they are best friends and have been with each other since about the time they were born. After being banished from their home, they lived as orphans until about the age of 5 (early childhood). That's when a huge turning point in their lives were since they were adopted (late childhood).

That's kinda all you need to know for the poll. If you guys have any questions, you can go ahead and ask. I won't bite ^_^ The poll will be up for a while. Go ahead and ask friends to vote, too. I really want a lot of people to vote. Click here to drop down to the poll. You will need to have JavaScript (for polldaddy) on!

Uhh... Oh! Question answers (Whoa, that's cool...Question answers...yeah) from 2 posts ago:

1) Any ideas what the layout should be for the new wallpaper?
Answer: I'm hoping to get a real layout along with the background I've been promising for months. I tried getting a Hiei one temporarily, but truthfully none of them are very good. Either a bad image or bleak background. Or both! What I was saying about the smack of insight earlier was that I thought of this really nice idea while thinking about m y friend Erin's birthday. Originally, I was going to draw it inside her card. Then that smack came to me saying that this was a great idea for the wallpaper. Who knew?
2) Do you think that what an author writes somehow reflects their actions, beliefs, etc?
Answer: Well, first off thanks to tiggerola for her long and helpful comment. (And this answer will be a response to what she wrote.) It's hard for me to write something I don't necessarily believe in, either. But I try because there's a lot of shades of grey in the world (by the way, I'm in no way trying to offend you). I like to show differences in personality as well as sameness. And when I say I write realistically, things that really should have a reason behind it does, and other things sometimes will not (such as someone saying something that is a lie or has no meaning). As for everything else, I agree. I wouldn't mind starting a club. That would be another thing to cross off my list of things to do before I do. Two clubs in less than a month's time. I just started a club just recently of The Single Girl's Club for girls who have never had a boyfriend and for girl's who do not want one for the time being. 5 people in total. I don't like uneducated and/or closed-minded people too much...Thanks, again. ^_^

Jeez, I'm freezing. I can barely type 'cause my hands are shaking so badly. *puts a blanket on* I swear it's colder in my house than outside...and it's winter.

New questions!
1) Any good tips or places to refer to for layout help?
2) Will you vote? (Sry if I'm being too persistent)
3) Any other good ways you guys got for starting stories?

Ok...I need to go stop my brain from freezing. So I'll see you guys when I get some more fanart. Bye!




Artwork and Story Requests

Please keep this in mind when making a request:

Your request is more likely to be accepted if it is about a anime, manga or game I know of. Go here and look under the section "My Favorite Characters from Anime, Manga, Comic, and Video Games" to find out about shows I know and favorite characters. And if you want to get an idea of how/what I write, look under “Author’s Notes” in the above link.

No yaoi or yuri, or anything of the like

I am not very good with love stories (drawings are okay), in my opinion. I can try though. I do not do nudity or strong sexual content (especially in drawings). I can do light sexual content, but it will be nothing more than barely PG-13. In short, no hentai but some ecchi.

I warn you, I'm no good with animals

Be specific in what you want or else what you don't mention is up to me.

If you have any questions or if you want to make a request or trade, PM me

Short Post


Introduction

If you haven't noticed yet, I'm Zakuro Rose. You may call me Zakuro, Rose or ZR for short. I'm a girl with a hint of tomboyish-ness and is a bit eccentric.

I usually write about the two main characters from a light novel I am making that I hope will be published and turned into an anime someday. Please do not steal or copy any of my stories, drawings, original characters, or plot ideas (I'm really lenient with this one, so if you really want to use it just do something to make it distinctive) without my permission.

I do take requests for stories and artwork, but please remember they are only requests. Please go here to see things that you should keep in mind when placing a request. An agreed request might take along time to finish since I procrastinate, am lazy, and have to be in a writing/drawing mood. I also do trades! Please go here to place a request or trade.

I also have a wide taste in music. I like hard rock, alternative rock, rapcore, and alternative and nu metal. Some of my favorite bands are Linkin Park, Papa Roach and My Chemical Romance.





Updates

Hey guys, this is just a short "update post" (for a real post, see previous post). Good news (I guess you can call it) and bad news.

The bad news first: Max92 is being removed from my friend list.

Ok, now the "good news." I made another account named "The Renaissance". This account will have all of my short stories, articles, etc. on it. It's going to be really cool. You'll be able to contact me and ask questions, talk about the article (in the comments), and much more. As soon as I get all the bugs worked out and post my first thing on it, I'll let you know and make a link to it on introduction.

What's going to be first? A ten part (or so) article on character development. It will cover character development (no, duh ^_^), De-Mary Sueifiers, and related topics. It's really in depth and is requiring a lot of research on my part. I am currently working on part two. As soon as I get parts 1-3 revised and ready for publishing, I'll post them.

This account will still be here. I'll be doing the same stuff that I usually do here. The other will kinda be a group site (in lack of other words) and I will still refer to myself as Zakuro Rose.

Well that's all I really have. As I wrote earlier, check out the last post for a "real" post. Oh, and I got new site music. Something a little slower, really nice live recordings from Linkin Park. Listen to "Breaking the Habit (Live)" 'cause it has a really (in my opinion) original way of remixing it.

See you guys, and hope you have a nice weekend! ^_^

Updates

Mood: random
Current Fangirl of: Hiei

Hi guys!

I would be working on the quiz right now but my compy's broken...again! Oh, and sorry that I haven't been on much. I haven't had time to get on. I had the production of our play (had to finish two of the main sets in less than a week), stress, along with the soccer tournament with my team being jerks (they have really bad attitudes over nothing), stress, along with other stuff. Stress, stress, stress. But now that's over and I feel better.

By the way, sorry if I haven't been uploading any fanart. I've been working on my OC's (hopefully) final final final look. I'm just cutting her hair to make her look a little more tomboyish. It's funny, on her last look, people say she looks a lot like Sakura (from Naruto) or that she is Sakura because of the front of her hair (which I see little resemblance). The funny thing is that it was based off a fanart of Neji. Now she looks a lot more like Sakura, but this was unintentional since this look had no base. Anyways, if I do get something uploaded, it would probably be the new wallpaper.

Something's been bothering me. I couple of times, I've been preached about beliefs, ideas, actions, religion, etc. that occur in my stories. When some people read these stories, they think that all this stuff I do or believe. For example, both the main characters in my stories are atheist because they weren't very religious in the first place. I have been preached to because the reader thought I was atheist, though I'm not. Another example is, also involving the two main characters, is that they have a very close platonic/familial relationship since they have been together for their whole life (literally). So, even they don't love each other romantically, they are physically and emotionally intimate. Several people told me that people who love each other as friends/family shouldn't be that close.

What I'm trying to say is that what I write is not unnecessarily what I believe. My stories are realistic or at least plausible, so my characters don't believe or do the same thing as each other 'cause everyone's different. So when someone comes up to me disagreeing to something like that and holds it to me like everything I write is believed or done by me, I hate it.

...Sry, I'm half asleep so sorry if the thoughts weren't organized and/or were repetitive. But do you get what I'm saying?

Anyways, question time.

Answers:
1) Should I make the quiz and would you guys take the quiz if I made it?
Answer: I'm making the quiz. Recent news though, we might have to rebuild our computer, and the documents (and my music) might be lost. (I'm trying to fix the compy and type this at the same time.)
2) Future question ideas? Why am I asking this? ^_^
Answer: I have no idea why I asked this... o_O

New questions:
1) Any ideas what the layout should be for the new wallpaper?
2) Do you think that what an author writes somehow reflects their actions, beliefs, etc?

Well, cya next time!

Updates

Mood: relatively happy ^_^
Current Fangirl of: Pinocchio from "Gunslinger Girl"
Band/Type of Music I'm into right now: Simple Plan

Hey, everyone. Nothing much right now. Just making sure you guys no I'm not dead. And seeing if you guys are dead. No one posted for the last three days.

Anyways, I'm thinking about making a new (and better) personality quiz for Yu Yu Hakusho. It's gonna have more results and make it a bit more, how should I say this, harder to predict what you'll get (I hate when it's obvious). There's already one there, but I'm gonna try anyways. What do you guys think?

Oh, and I don't remember if I told you guys, but my compy is working again. I'm planning to put more pics up. One of them is probably gonna be my OC, so you know the rules. Otherwise, enjoy (when I put them up)!

Oh, my friend just got back to school with 7 stiches above her left eyebrow. This guy opened a door without looking as hard as he could, and it hit her so hard it knocked her to the ground. The guy didn't even turn around to see if she was alright. Someone talked to her last night and she said she was going to get 4 stitches. Today she said that when the doctor was stitching her head together he goes "um...we're going to have to put some more stitches in". She ready for Halloween, at least. We were joking with her that if she got hit where her hair is, she'd have a bald spot so they can put the stiches in (she has really thick hair, too.) Our whole group feels bad for her because this stuff is always happening to her, and she's kinda small. We said we were going to hunt the guy down and torture him, but she's like "no, no. it's not his fault, it's the door's."

Ummm...what else...uh...I got nothing else. I'll post tomorrow if I think of something. I'll answer my questions.

1. 1. Did you guys know about Talk Like a Pirate Day? (Sry, I don't really have any questions)
Answer: I've already answered this.

2. Is there anything you guys ever wanted to know. I'll see if I can answer them.
Answer:
TheDarknessWolf- September, but that's all I'm saying
Die Before I Wake- I'm not really 'in' to them, but they're pretty cool
Tiggerola-Yes, I was referring to that part of YYH. No, I didn't know the word, but it just seemed to not fit when he said it. (context clues? *shrugs*). Since those take up a lot of space, here's some links. Originally, the "real" Sesame Street was at 81st and Broadway in Manhattan, New York. However, it was based off Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY where many of the producers of the show were from. If your looking for an actual Sesame Street, there's one in South Carolina. The Hundred Acre Wood was based in Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England where the author lived. A real Hundred Acre Wood can be found in North Carolina. I don't know where you live so I couldn't give you directions. Hehe, I'm a research freak 'cause I look up a lot of stuff for my stories to make them better, you know (recently it's been mental illnesses)? So this was interesting to look at. Didn't expect to get this actually answered, did you? ^_^

Okay, new questions...um...

1) Should I make the quiz and would you guys take the quiz if I made it?
2) Future question ideas? Why am I asking this? ^_^
