All art is at once surface and symbol

1. Went to Austin for Solo Competition with Ms. Pope and everyone else legible to go. Scored a 2 and a silver medal. :3 (The judge even asked me in German: "Do you speak German?" Damn I'm flattered!) We stopped by the mall in San Antonio and got to spend money on stuff, and this is my loot: a Pikachu shirt from Hot Topic (I almost would've got a Mario Party one too, but the total of both shirts was 40 dollars, so I gave that one up. oO;;;) a Blastoise figurine, a squashingly EEEEADORABLE Luigi plushie, and a super soft purple hedgehog plushie. I should stick a flower on his head and call him my Purple Shaymin. :3333 Before my trip, Dad and I went grocery shopping, and I yoinked NIN's "Year Zero" as apart of my graduation gift~ (Along with Dad doing the dishes instead of me. XDDD!)

2. Annnnnnnnnnnd the computer I was typing this entry in froze last night. Apologies to Carrie in case she was wondering where I disappeared to. .________.;;;

3. I've realized that EVERYBODY in my team except for Tira is weak to Ground attacks, so when one of the Elite 4 uses Earthquake on them, I'm screwed. Hence my need to switch out a couple of my weaker members with Dialga and Uxie because I'm a cheap chicken. But now that means four of my Pokémon will die to Earthquake, and... that's not good. XDDD!

4. Today, I shall plot for my darling's birthday and whip up icons for Scribbler. Hopefully either computer doesn't crash too much. XDDDD;;;

5. Puri officially graduated high school~ <3333 Permanent Honor Roll too!

Edit: Someone also wants to translate one of my fanfics into Italian while linking to my creative journal. Damn I feel awesome! X3333333

I may hate SatAM elitists, but I hate pessimissm more than anything else, so I might as well shut my trap and wait for the DVDs to come out. That way, Dustin and I can spaz, make silly jokes, giggle and just be happy like true fans would. Here's to hoping Rotor will appear in Banjo Kazooie and DKR~! ♥

Here. To make the icky hate go away, look at something purdy: my Beautifly icon! :333~!

I sang a solo at the school Talent Show last night! And I was the only one to do so. Puri sang her favorite Sarah McLachlan song ("Possession"), and it was damn exhilerating! *_______* Usually when I'm on stage, I'm apart of the choir or I'll be singing a solo all by myself in front of a judge. So having a school auditorium to yourself is just... whoa. I took the microphone, walked around, made gesture, reached by hand out for the audience (sometimes making a clawing motion)... it was almost like holding a concert for your billion fans. oO;;; After I finished, everybody was cheering and clapping and it was LOUD and... it was seriously the best applause I've ever had. I felt so proud! Even my brother liked me! He thought I was "amazing". Everyone else certainly didn't stop talking to me and spazzing, that's for sure~ ♥

Family and I will be visiting Texas A&M at Austin again this weekend, so we'll be checking out the dorms. I've got my iPod all set~! &hearts;

Also, to a certain someone... I AM SO PROUD OF YOOOOOOOOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! *______________________*

I AM SO PROUD OF YOOOOOOOOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! *______________________*

HEDGIE YOU DARLING~! ♥♥♥♥♥

More later, so I can squeal properly. ^-^

This is officially one of my favorite Sonadow fanarts EVER. Since Manaita, That Awesome Japanese Fanartist Whose Name Escapes Me, etc. All you have to do is click the LJ-cut. ;3333 ♥

( Ah Sonadow, How I Love Thee~ )

♥♥♥♥♥

I think my biggest problem may be rushing the ending, 'cause dude.

I FINISHED ANOTHER FANFIC~~~!

Now to watch Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow with Mom. :o

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTIN~! ♥♥♥

And of course, the obligatory Nightmare Before Christmas icons for October~ ♥♥♥♥♥

Dear World: I am alive. Exhausted, but alive. And home. *cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing*

LJ's odd in a way. I think in my head a kajillion things to say, but then I access the computer, and boooooooooooooooooom. I'm too tired and burnt-out to type anything. XDDD!

First off, THANK YOU to everyone who commented on my journal when I spoke of suicide. For looking out for me. For trying to contact me. For calling my sister. I managed to speak with Greg (Sully), Hedgiepan and Philleh--everyone else who tried to get a hold of me, like Jennifer and Sipp, I'll see if I can get your calls as soon as possible. I'm home now--there's no barriers to go through this time. I also want to thank the people who visited my journal--even if we hadn't met or known each other well, your concern meant a LOT to me and made me touched. Just... thank you everyone. A Japanese proverb says a kind word warms three winter months, but with everyone's comments, the rest of my entire life is lit with summer.

( Life in a Mental Hospital )

Now I'm... home. AND NO LONGER BORED. *_______________________________* Now there just seems like there's so much for me out there, like life has a billion things to offer me. I'm glad to have everything back: my computer, my friends, my parents, my dogs (Amanda and The World's Stupidest But Sweet Doggie: Freddy), my music, my Internet, my Photoshop, my LJ comms, my video games... and of course. After reading what everyone said on LJ, Puri was so tuckered out and happy and fuzzy being home in a warm poofy bed with her plushies instead of a plain ol' bed with a stone for a pillow, she waddled about outside and then settled down with a good round of SA2B.

And I still sigh happily when Shadow wakes up at the beginning of the Dark Story. By the time he finishes telling Eggman he'll meet him aboard Space Colony ARK, she melted in a puddle of fangirl goo.

I'll say it again:

THANK YOU EVERYBODY~~! ♥♥♥♥♥

Well, Mom just burned me a CD as a gift, so I'll listen when I get on the plane. ♥

Also? Uncle Rick & Aunt Steph gave me two early 18th Birthday presents. :333

From Steph: "The Phantom of the Opera" DVD (2-Disc Special Widescreen Edition)
From Rick: Dido - No Angel (YEEES! I MISSED THAT CD FOR YEARS! *___________*)

I am dying ten kajillion times from happy. Just... how sweet of them! *_________________________* Thank yoooooooooou~! ♥♥♥♥♥

P.S. carriepika? As soon as I get home, I wanna find a good time to discuss the RP with ya. :3

Well Sonic, much as I love ya, my health comes first. I better go to bed now. XDDDD;;;

Spent the day playing Sonic 1 + 2. *nod* Eggman creamed me with his walker on the second, but I made up for it beating the original "Sonic" itself, so all's good. ^^

Icon post tomorrow... that'll be my gift from me to you, blue buddy. ;D

Here's to a Happy 15th and the best of years to come~ :3333 'Cause I know you've come a long way and you'll live in our hearts forever~ ♥♥♥

Also Eggman? I think you'll particulary like a certain icon to serve with this vanilla cake I baked ya, and you're free to use on your journal if ya want. ^^ No, it's not that Vanilla, I'm afraid. XDDD;;;

I finished my Super Shadow icons for 10variations~!

*knocks wood* Dunno whether there'll be a banner or not though. But either way, because it's Sonic's birthday tomorrow, I'm also cooking up a bunch of the blue blur himself, mainly old*sk00l goodness. :3 'Sides, I'm going to feel bad if I have more Shadow than Sonic icons on their--*SMITE'D!* his own birthday. XDDD;;;

But yeah, a manner of pushing myself off the compy to play video games and not get a headache. *nods* Darnit, what the heck should I play after KH2...?
