"This one is weird. *.* Funny, but weird. Two sweatdrops!! ^.^;; Done in pen and colour pencil, quite the anomaly." Yahaha XD Description of KS on someone's website.. I'm glad she like it enough to link it, though. :D

Woo, new FAMIB! Lady with head-wings! Rock!

That's a sexy new layout, Jaimie-J... ... ... say, you use keenspace! HELP ME!!

Mmm... umm.. I've been busy for the last couple of days. Yesterday I went to see A.I... cried like a little girl. Also got my ACT scores back.. 29. .__. So close and yet.. so far away (I need a 30). Perfect score on Reading and nearly perfect on English, though, that was pretty badass (I got 18 and 18 on English but for some reason it still listed my total as 35...). 27 on Science Reasoning.. and 20 on math. .__. Sigh. I'm stupid.

Today was much nicer... I spent most of the day at my friend Emily's house and we watched Trigun and some of Twin Signal and played Conker's Bad Fur Day and danced and hit each other with fake light sabers and it was just a lot of fun. XP; Then I get home and Zim is on; yee. Now if only Keenspace would OBEY ME!

::kicks Keenspace:: Urrgh, I don't get this. Where do I upload all my files, damn it!

There's like, some kind of Zim marathon going on on NICK... actually, it was on -earlier-, I'm watching it on NIK2.. o_o

My god.. today lasted far too long... um... I'll ramble about it tomorrow, the main news is that, after more than a MONTH, keenspace FINALLY SET UP my account. There's nothing there yet; I got the email too late to care about figuring out all the nonsense they threw at me.. I'll try to make some sense of it tomorrow. The only reason I'm putting KS on keenspace is because I'm afraid that it will soon became so large as to become a nuisance, and as I've said, I don't have that much space.

Thanks, Tengu. That comment brightened my day like you would not believe .__.

You might never read this, and you've probably found this out by now, but Lolita refers to the title character of the book, Lolita, by Vladimir Nobokov. It's about a middle aged guy who's in love with a very young girl (can't remember the exact age, it's either early teens or preteens, but they made her older in the film) named (wait for it) Lolita... so the term refers to someone seductive, but who would generally be considered too young to be as such (usually a girl, but I guess it's being used for a guy in this case..). ^^;;

Updated Karma, even though I'm not particularly proud of most of today's page.

::slushes off to bed to color KS...::

No one on my AIM list is away... o_o And yet, no one is talking to me. Talk to me, dammit! Don't make me come up there!

Hey, Rumika... you're right. Him DOES sound like the Gromble. Weird.

Aw, damn. Looks like we're going somewhere anyway, but hopefully it won't be until the end of July and hopefully it will not be for nine days (they're saying six .__.;).

And yes, Scully, that's what I meant. The terms I used were just jokes, though. You have to get your work to people; get it looked at, regardless of acceptance or rejection. It just needs to be out there.

Sometimes I wonder how the JFW is... it's been a long time since I left that group, and to be honest, I really don't regret it. But it was a great place for me to grow up in, as a writer. I needed what it gave me.

Fireworks are illegal in Tennessee also, Nichole. Of course, this doesn't stop anyone.

Kylee, you don't sound thirteen...you sound much older and less stupid. I sounded like a real moron on the Internet when I was thirteen. And your writing ability far exceeds what mine was at that time (and I think it actually exceeds my current ability, but I haven't read enough.. I just know that what I have read is wonderful).

{OFF TOPIC RAMBLING}
Really, the difference between me and any other writer is not skill or quality. It's just that I attach myself, like a leech, to a writing project (like Claris and Clarity) and I don't let go until it's done. Many other people whose writing abilities on all fronts grossly exceed my own simply haven't developed that kind of discipline; and by that I mean the disicipline to begin and finish a very long--or even a short--story. You can make it as a short story writer. It's actually easier than being a novelist, from what I've read about the publishing business. But a lot of great writers I know either only write fanfiction (which can't be published unless it's Star Trek..) or don't stick to the stories they begin, long or short. And maybe they don't want to, and don't need to, because most of the great writers I know are great at a myriad of other things. But writing is all have. I'll end this with a quote that always gives me hope n__n:

"A professional author is simply an amateur who didn't give up."

And most of the second series villains take their newfound villainy pretty casually... because it's something that was already there--all Amethyst did was bring it out. She took her villainy casually too, I think, but she takes everything casually, so.. o_o;

That's a sexy new layout, Miri...

For some reason, I can't get to blogspot blogs through Netscape anymore.. o_o

Tengu is our GIR, and a very good GIR at that. X3
::gives Rumika love:: I am sorry that you didn't get GIR. .__. We still love you. .__.

Woo XD Mom told me that in the last two hours of the auction two people got into a bidding war, and we sold it for more than Dad was asking for. That is totally awesome. That is a miracle, is what that is (and we needed the money too, apparently). I can't believe that. It was at way below the reserve up until the last five hours and then suddenly... wow. Of course I'm happy about it. Ecstactic, really. XD

OH THANK YOU LORD! Apparently someone bought our timeshare (aka, the vacation) so I don't think we're going anymore. This is just what I overheard mom saying on the phone (that we sold it) so I could be wrong, but I hope I'm right. ::breathes sigh of great relief:: You know, I wouldn't even mind that much if we didn't have to go for nine damn days. That is way too long to just hang around a resort, and we've already done all that there is to do down there. Also we'd have to drive down there (because my family doesn't believe in planes for distances that do not span the entire country), which would not have been pleasant. =P

Rumika, don't like Omnes. Omnes is PURE EVIL!! Unadulterated, undiluted =P I don't understand why anyone likes him at all.
But I'm glad you're reading. XD ::hugs you::
Now I'm going to bed. But at least, thanks to that, I feel less whine-angsty. >_o

My god.. I was reading over Claris's first chapter (of the second half) and I spotted all these errors, so I went and revised it a bit, because I'm anal like that o_o Mostly mistypings, a few rearranged words so my writing doesn't sound so damn stiff. Nothing important, but it makes me feel better. Okay, really going to bed now. -__-;

Finally updated Kurai. Now I'm going to bed...

Eh.. in my second replaying of Final Fantasy VIII, I guess I was a bit harsh... I'm enjoying it more this time, and I haven't even gotten to the point where I last left off (which was the end of Disc II)... I still think it's the weakest of the series, though, in general. But I guess I dislike Squall because we're a lot alike, in that we are both always consumed with whiny angst. x__x (except I whine my angst to the world, and Squall keeps it to himself)

Ugh...unless someone with a thousand dollars and the desire to spent a week in Myrtle Beach happens along Dad's eBay auction, then we're going..and we're leaving before Kai gets back, so I'll miss her for that much longer. Also I won't be here for the premiere of the Final Fantasy movie. ::whinebitchmoan::

Hee hee.. I joined Invasion! :D I'm Gaz. ^_^

Aww, thank you, Miri.. I'm trying to be productive this summer.. o_o I need to do a general kurai update, though I'm pretty sure most of my regular visitors (all three of you) know that here is really the best place for when I update stuff I want people to read. :3;

Yeah, blink, I wanna join! I wanna be Gaz. XD

The only productive thing I accomplished today was to upload a ton of stuff (mostly Claris & Clarity related) to fanfiction.net. X3; I spent most of the morning (which is when I get stuff done) running around town with my mother and brother, since he had to get his senior pictures done, and I had to get my proofs.

I only hang around the SLG boards occasionally now, but I read there today that there won't be any new Zim episodes until August 10th. That's four days before I go back to school.

I really like the Quakers, blink. They were extremely liberal, as Christian denominations go, especially during the time when they formed--they saw all people as being equal in the eyes of God, and I believe they were the first to allow female ministers. They were also pacifists and just generally nice people.
And the Zim blog is coo' :3

Fresh Fatal. X3; Thanks to Rose for naming the characters for me. :3

First half of Clarity's second series second chapter (phew) is up... I haven't finished the rest of the updates; I don't feel well. I think I'm going to go play video games. ¬.¬

It must be nice, to have lemmings who agree with you no matter what you say. Fortunately, I have friends, who are good enough to tell me when I'm being a moron.

I consider myself to be a person who does not publicly attack another person unless provoked first. Right now, I haven't been provoked, but I think I might be, soon. Expect we'll see.

I really miss Sally and Kai.

Yee, Famib updates! Melike...especially the bonus page. Also like the new Aerochild layout... I love blue and despise pink, what can I say. And Vera's new blog layout is very spinky. Purple + Gray = Sexy. :3
Hello, Kitsu! :D

I swear that I will update Clarity tomorrow. But now I need sleep.

I should get a job...although most people I know have jobs to pay for things car-related, and since I don't drive, I don't really have to pay for that...if I had money, I would probably use it to buy people things. I dislike buying things for myself (and similarly, I dislike people buying things -for- me unless they're rich and/or it's my birthday) because it makes me feel guilty, but I don't have that problem when it's for someone else. The problem is that I never have any money, and not for lack of working around the house. Most people that know me know that I do quite a bit of yard and housework, but I'm not one of those kids who gets an allowance or monetary rewards for anything. The only time I get money is for the movies, which is all I really need it for.
Most of my Angel Sanctuary collection was given as gifts over the years, and while I'm eternally grateful to the people that gave these things to me (since they are prized and loved beyond all my other possessions), I still feel guilty about it sometimes...although feeling guilty about getting presents could be construed as an ungrateful action. I don't know, I was raised Catholic, I feel guilty for breathing air sometimes. =P

I read a comic in the paper today (I think it was Mary Worth), and it was about a guy's funeral..and someone in the audience was saying the truth behind the words of a speech being given (like generous means that he actually cost the company he worked for lots of money in a sexual harrassment suit, and he never bought lunch). When I die, I don't want people to lie and say nice things about me. I want them to say what a horrible, selfish bitch I was...and then end with saying that, in spite of that, they loved me and will miss me anyway. =P

Yeeeeee~ Today was a good day, methinks, even though I'm still procrastinating on driving... ¬.¬
Neefluffer got me Stardust! And Relfluffer drew me a Kuruma! I'm feelin' the luv.
Really, the fact that people seem to be enjoying Karma Slave makes me indescribably happy. I just can't express enough gratitude to people that enjoy whatever work I do, and that goes double for people who actually draw me things and take time to tell me they like it. The English language has no words for how good it feels to know that you're doing something that even just a few people care about. THANK YOU!!
(sorry, I get kind of emotional late at night ;__;)
And Neefluffer is just one of the most generous people in the universe XD

I'm almost done coloring the next page of Karma, but I can't find my Crimson -or- Tuscan reds... so the blood will look worse than usual. XP

Blink, I read somewhere that the term lemon came from the feeling you get when reading that sort of story... like.. squishy.. ^^;;;
