I got my paycheck today~ Uh-huh, uh-huh! And it was for much more than I expected. I am so buying Kingdom Hearts.

You know, folks, there's a difference between constructive criticism and just being an asshole.

CONSTRUCTIVE: "I'm not sure I like the end of this story. I don't think it fits with my interpretation of your theme (insert theme here), because of (insert quotes from ending here). In that same vein, I thought (insert sentence) was weak because of (insert word choice). I don't think that diction properly conveys the feeling of (insert feeling here) you're attempting."

ASSHOLE: "What is this shit?"

I understand that being an asshole is much easier than being constructive. But don't act like a person can't take constructive criticism when that's not what you're offering.

New Kurai layout, thanks to Cal-Tan. Yay Witch Hunter Robin!!

And there is new Karma today, as there was on Monday. Sattva's love is a tough love. :B

I love how in the rotating main page pictures for the Rhodes website, all of the ones that are close ups of example students are of non-Caucasians, when in reality Rhodes is so white IT HURTS. XP;

ALICIA: i had a sorority retreat friday night and that was alright i guess... and i just chilled sat night with a friend of mine and sunday night was fun as hell
ME: hell is fun? :B
ALICIA: yes mam
ALICIA: lol
ME: damn :B now i'm looking forward to it.

Eh? Of course I'm still alive...
...::looks down at length between posts:: ... though I guess I can see why you might think otherwise. Hmmm. Like I said in the last entry... I go through the day having all these thoughts and things I want to write about, and then I get in and I'm so drained that nothing comes out. Right now I'm up working on Archaeology, and then I have to do english--I'll probably skip lunch tomorrow to finish the English, but I want to at least start it tonight... if I can't finish it I expect I'll just have to hope the professor understands (though, since several other students have already turned in late papers, it seems like he does understand. Still, this is not a thing I want to do). I had very little time to do much this weekend, but I don't regret it--after all, I spent it with my friends and with my mother, and I don't mind sacrificing lunch or even a bit of my class standing for that.

Well, here's something, before I finish up the Archaeology and go crawl into bed with the English:

A while ago I was out with Ali and Laris and we got onto the topic of sacrificing yourself for someone else. I would, in a heartbeat, die for a friend, or a family member, and probably even for a random stranger, though my conviction is a little less shaky on that point. I don't think this is a selfless belief at all. I would much rather I die than someone that I loved. At the same time, if I died to save someone else's life, I would die believing that my life meant something. But really, it's more because I wouldn't want to live without anyone I love, so I would be glad to die for them. Assuming that everyone I love loves me as much as I love them, I'm basically saying I'd rather they go through the pain of being without me than me going through the pain of being without them. Which is somewhat selfish, isn't it?

I had all these thoughts in my brain, but now that I'm tired and sitting at the computer (at home right now... on Imperium), they have floated away. Malfactor once again had to be nuked. Dad keeps trying to make him do things he doesn't want to do anymore. Malfactor says 'no. screw y'all. I'm too old for this shit.' He got him back up again, but now I'm worried that Dad will continue his madness and Malfactor will require another nuking before I leave. I just want to scan things.. ._. now the tower is sitting open, with all of Malfactor's guts spilling out. Dad quit for the night and I don't know how to put the case back on, so I just hope the cats won't attack it while I sleep. -_-;; O computers, such stress do you cause me.

My mind is sleepy and blank... I used to love sleep and now I'm starting not to like it any more. I think, no, can't sleep, have too much to do!! But my body is frail, and needs proper rest, though rest is hard won in my dorm room.

Well, let's see.. here's what I'm doing, work wise:

I've started the script for Twolle and me's comic thing. Even if we don't submit it to the Tokyopop contest we're still gonna do it. It has its own special notebook, the mottled kind.

I've written the first scene of the next Clarity chapter. Hope to write more soon. Must write more soon. ^_^; It has developed a vague sense of direction, which is good, I just need some time to sit down and write it.

Kurai has a new layout in waiting, and I want to fix up my two little fansites (Okage and AS) soooon too.

Drawn two more Karma pages tho the second still wants some coloring... hope to scan them tomorrow, everything willing.

Then of course there's school work. XP I can't write or anything in class anymore--I have to pay attention and take notes, which is why my output has decreased. And after my classes I have job work (data entry--thrills!). My days start around 9 and end around 3 usually, cept for Fridays, when it's 3:30. But I will make time for writing, damn it.
