All art is at once surface and symbol

- I finished Picture of Dorian Gray~ Mwoiiiiiiing~! ♥♥♥ Absolutely adored it, of course. The one New Year's Resolution I actually accomplished, haha. XD

- The Wizard in "Harvest Moon: Animal Parade" is in love with me now~ ♥ I finally bought a Level 2 House so he could finally move in, so I gotta raise him to nine hearts and get the Blue Feather~

- I'm completely unready for December and I'm nervous as hell about Yuletide and my Christmas fic for my friend. Auuuuuuugh. DDD:

- The new Trixie episode was absolutely amazing, which more than made up for that awful CMC episode. If I didn't ship Twixie (Twilight Sparkle/Trixie) before, I do now~ ♥♥♥ Also, Zecora training Twilight? Fuck yes.

- Pokemon feels incredibly limiting without working Wi-Fi. :(

- I've got your present, redwoodalchan! Thank you so much! The snowy owl plushie is adorable. ;;

I guess this is the part where I explain my absence, huh?

It's been a wreck where I am. Namely Mom is at the worst of her hypo-manic stage again (and anyone who knows me understands that I do not use that word lightly) and it's been draining the hell out of me and given me lots of unhinged stress. I may have to move into Dad's office for real this time, but as long as Mom leaves me alone and never talks to me, I can gain some peace of mind. There's also been confusion involving my birth control meds, but I saw my gynocologist for that, so no worries.

Good things that kept me sane included Jimmy's 22nd birthday back on May 17th! Dad even got him a small present~ (We got him several WW2 books, including a memoir of the last Valkyrie) Jimmy and his mom and I ate at a glorious Italian restaurant, and its cheese pizza is absolutely amazing. The food was rich so we got stuffed right away and had to ask for leftover boxes. Then Jimmy and I cuddled at his house and we played Mario Party 3 in his honor before I went home.

Another thing I got to look forward to was art commissions. If Mom gets to go on her giant online shopping sprees, why can't I get myself something nice for a change? Both of them involve characters from my novel... and dear lord, I miss my novel and I want to start working on it again.

jazaaboo is an animator who uses her skills for a charites such as the speedgamers. You know that Pokemon video that I showed you several entries back? Yep, she made that. Unfortunately, she recently had to go to the hospital for emergency surgery, and a single night's stay costs $7000. That's American Health Care for ya. :/

Forwarding and spreading the word is fine and all, but I dunno. I felt like I had to do something. And $15 for a single colored sketch is easy. So I asked her to draw one of my main supporting characters: "Jelly Jane."

( Introducing Jelly Jane! )

( And the drawing itself. :o )

You can commission Jaz here. Her kindness is as great as her art and she deserves all the donations she can get. ;; You can even request a custom animation cell! :o

Last night, my new friends from IRL gave me early birthday gifts~ ♥♥♥ Namely the two ponies in my icon~ ♥

My Fluttershy pony won't be alone anymore~ ♥♥♥

Nicole, Eric, Dave and Andrew, thank you thank you thank you. And my lovely boyfriend James, of course~ ♥ You have no idea how much you made me squee~ ♥♥♥♥♥

I want to welcome everyone from the Pokemon Friending meme! *________* I hope you all have a fun time in my journal, nomnomnom~ ♥ Sorry if I seem to be unresponsive; my Dad's laptop keeps crashing and the best access I have to the Internet is my brother's computer, and AIM doesn't work on his. @.@;;; Hopefully I shall be receiving my new Christmas laptop soon~ ♥

I'm an aspiring novelist, and I currently have a novel that I'm finishing and working to get published after winning NaNoWriMo'09. I also write a lot of fanfiction and I have a ton of late holiday drabbles to be posting when the Internet stops being stupid and play video games, and I may or may not consider making games on my own. Heck, I'm already doing a Yume Nikki spinoff based off my ongoing Rise of Darkrai fanfic. So far, I only made sprites for Alice, Tonio and Alberto. Progress is slow but steady! :o I also make graphics and icons and AMVs, but unfortunately, I do not currently have access to Photoshop or a non-crashing Sony Vegas, so I've been unproductive and it sucks. D:

See how a broken computer can really cut you down?

But enough of that. I need to give Carol her Kissmas drabble~! ♥ And everyone gets to watch this video because it cracks me up:

The animation in this is brilliant!

Three awesome things have happened to me today.

1. MC drew me beautiful Carnivalshipping giftart (Butler/Diane from the Jirachi movie, nomnomnom~) and it makes me so happy! *_______* Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~!
2. I recruited a female Riolu in Explorers of Sky~ ♥ Her name is Nefertiti~ ♥♥♥ She is proving to be quite an apt leader to and I love the way her feet pitter-patter as she runs~ ♥♥♥ She's so cute~! ♥♥♥;♥♥
3. Huh? NaNoWriMo?

50025 / 50000 words. 100% done!


FUCK YEAH

Dad's computer keeps lagging up and freezing, so that's annoying. But still, I don't have to ban myself from using contractions anymore! I don't have to stretch my sentences into broken English that would have done Agent Looker proud! Everyone can start talking like normal people instead of boring medieval cardboard cut-outs! FUCK YEAH

Puri writes Scourge/Mina. Prize ficlet! (borderline R?)

Dammit. Something's wrong if the happy exciting feeling you get from watching one of your favorite movies (Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame) fades this quickly.

I guess when your parents aren't as enthusiastic as you are, it's hard to feel uppity much longer.

"If you want to be immortalized, voice act in a Disney movie." --Tony Jay ("Frollo")

It's amusing how much Frollo's character artist fangirled him so excessively. XD

Nightmare aside, I had this twinkly melody composed in my head. Gameboyish and gorgeous. It's in the same key as "Black Balloon" and it sounds like something that could fit into a Kirby game soundtrack. (Might be similar to Fallin' Love too) It's hard to record sounds on paper when you don't know how to set up the key and hence, don't know how to organize the notes. Figures I'd forget that pretty melody later. Goddamn it.

Sonic FF.netters: If a story says The End in clear bold letters, that means there's NO more chapters. Also? There is NO sequel. What the hell could I make a sequel out of? XD Stupid brainless Sonadow fangirls. XD

If Dad still won't give Puri a hedgehog, maybe she can bug him into getting her a rattie. An adorable cute little rat~ ♥

Today's Mario Party Day at Smash Club! :D

Magic Cake Woman wanted requests, so look what I got from her: ♥♥♥

I want to ram a dagger through Windows Movie Maker. But on the plus side? I got something more important uploaded:

Jeff x Tony fluff smut! ♥

Yes. I'm finally happy to get that done. XD

Here's the AFF.net and Peachie's Closet counterparts!
