Hey guys! I'm poor so I've decided to sell a bunch of the useless junk I have lying around. Check out the community [info]superpears if you're interested. I'll mostly be selling animanga/game merchandise, strange trinkets, and maybe some obscure fashion items/accessories.

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead. I couldn't resist requesting a fic from [info]fightfair because she writes the most heartbreakingly adorable Dojima/Adachi stories ever. I'm offering drawings in addition to drabbles... 'cause, lol.. my writing isn't really that great.

Specify in your post whether you want a drabble (short fictional story) or a doodle (low-effort artwork). You can ask for anything as far as artwork goes-- but for the drabbles I'd appreciate something I'm familiar with. Some of the fandoms I am most familiar with include: Gurren Lagann, Kaiji, Persona 3, Persona 4, Yu-Gi-Oh (DM and 5d's), Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Symphonia, The Law of Ueki, Phoenix Wright, and MOTHER(2+3) ... but feel free to ask for something else if you know I'm at least somewhat familiar with it!


  1. Persona 4; (Drabble) Something really homo and stupid with Adachi.
  2. Persona 4; (Doodle) Namatame
  3. Tales of the Abyss; (Doodle) Van/Luke
  4. Mother; (Doodle) Ness/Lucas
  5. Kaiji; (Doodle) Kaiji/Sahara
  6. Touhou; (Doodle) Big-boobed Patchouli
  7. Smash Bros; (Doodle) Captain falcon/Lucas's Face
  8. Persona 4; (Doodle) Dojima/Adachi
  9. Persona 4; (Doodle) Dojima/Adachi Power Struggle
  10. Persona 2; (Doodle) Eikichi/Lisa

A few weeks ago I went deep sea fishing off the coast of North Carolina. I routinely take a trip to the beach every year, but last year was a no-go due to my seasonal job, so visiting the ocean again was really refreshing. I LOVE THE OCEAN, GUYS. It’s so big and blue and full of funny looking fish. I should probably note that although I’ve been sea fishing I have never been “deep” sea fishing. I had no idea what to expect. My dad had organized a trip with his colleagues and, because my friends were out of town, I decided to tag along.

Delicious!

I recently lost my 5-year-old Wacom tablet to water damage. My stupid cat decided it would be a good idea to knock over the half-full glass of water adjacent to my drawing area. I spent the few hundred dollars I was going to use to buy my spring wardrobe to purchase a better, larger Intuos3 to replace my old one. Right after I do this, right after I do this, Wacom decides to release the new Intuos4 tablet. So here I am, sitting here with my now outdated tablet. W-why would you do this to me, Wacom!? Just month ago there was nothing on your site alluding to any sort of shiny new tablet models! Fuck you, Wacom. Fuck you. God damn I am so angry I could snap a polar bear in half. I’ll be getting 200 dollars back after taxes, at least, so I might be able to shop for that spring wardrobe after all (or you know, blow it all on video games and cosplay).

I watched Henry Selick’s “Caroline” over spring break. I was overall impressed. It was a really fun movie, and surprisingly creepy for a cartoony adaptation of a childrens' novel. Movies like this make me really wish the stop motion genre was more prevalent. I think the highlight of my trip to the theater, though, were these horrible watchmen window paintings:




AWESOME!!!

I wish I had gotten a picture of all of them, but the two “artists” were standing nearby, and I couldn’t discreetly take any more pictures without causing them any offense.

By the way - My apologies to everyone for being so MIA. You see, my college English course is pretty much consuming my life right now. Now that the spring semester’s winding down, my Literary Theory class has decided to drown me in homework. The amount of work I have is downright terrifying, considering I’m not even taking my full 16 credits. I was assigned a partner for the class presentation that I’m currently working on. So far, he’s failed to produce anything for the project under the excuse that he works from dawn to dusk on the school newspaper. Since we’re graded in part on how well we work together in a group, I can’t really taddle on him this late into the project. This, for lack of a better expression, sucks donkey balls.

Kids, don’t ever become and English major unless you derive some sort of sick enjoyment in regurgitating your teacher’s opinion back up on paper. Of course, you’ll have to reword those opinions with your fancy-pants twinkle sparkle dust vocabulary, but hey… it should at least earn you an A. That is, unless your teachers are as anal retentive as mine and believe that a C is above-average. If I make a C in this class I’m going to physically harm someone. Seriously, sometimes I feel like the college professors here don’t believe in giving out A’s, but I know there’s got to be some little butt-faced maggot around here with a perfect 4.0 GPA. I will find them, and I will hurt them.

Fortunately, there’s only a little over a month left of school. All I have to do is make it through these few weeks and I’ll be home free. I hate that my college classes are eating into my drawing time. With my recent obsession with Persona 4, it feels like all I want to do is draw gratuitous homosexual computer arts, because I am a dumb fangirl and can’t be satisfied unless I bring these horrible kinds of creations into the world. Once I’m out for summer I’m going to be drawing like a maniac, for sure.

Here have a handwriting meme:

1) Write your username.
2) Write the name of two of your favorite bands/artists.
3) Write "I ♥ ______". (This is to see how you write hearts.)
4) Write the name of your all-time favorite person.
5) Write the name of a recently favored person.
6) Tag six people to do this.

Sorry I've been so absent from the LJ world lately.

School has been kicking my butt.

I asked my commissioners if they wanted their money back because I am uncommitted loser and really don't feel like dealing with them right now.

I'm extremely lucky that I didn't die today. My classes are scheduled to start tomorrow. Since my college is only about an hour away I decided to pack up and leave just this morning as oppose to Saturday like I originally intended. No problem, right? Just a short drive back to my dorm to set up my shit and I'd be ready to go. What I didn't know was that a 6 foot tall prize-winning show llama had escaped its owner and was currently loose wandering aimlessly around the city.

So here I am driving down the highway at 65 miles per hour, listening to my radio, some ironically cheerful song on the playing, and here comes this cop car driving in the wrong direction down the side lines. So I'm like huh, that's weird. I turn my glance forward again an that's when I see it:


A LLAMA.

A GOD DAMN LLAMA THE SIZE OF A PICK-UP TRUCK.



What the fuck, right?! What is a llama doing in the middle of the fucking highway?! I didn't even know llamas existed in North Carolina. Don't they need like special living conditions or something!? Don't llama's live in Mexico or something i don't even know. So this llama, in the middle of the highway, comes running over into my lane. I'm like FUCK A LLAMA and swerve out of the way.

As soon as I can take my eyes away from Llama, I look in front of me and the car in front of me has completely STOPPED. Like he STOPPED in the fast lane to look at the Llama, and here I am barreling on at a like 65 miles per hour. I slam on my breaks, but my car doesn't stop in time, so I try to make sharp turn into the lane to my right.

Bad idea.

I hit him at an angle, hard. My car goes spinning, grazing the car again with its tail lights. Of course, this only gives my car more momentum and I go spinning into oblivion, landing about two lanes over. I'm not really sure what happened during the collision exactly. My airbags ejected almost immediately on impact and my car spun around about 80 billion something times so my brain was kind of like scrambled eggs when I managed to claw my way out of my smoking car. I was freaking out pretty bad that I couldn't open the door until I realized I could get out through the other side, lol.

Luckily the cop that had been driving down the road has seen everything. The wreck wasn't technically my fault since an animal was involved. I don't know if that story would have flown with the cops too well if they hadn't seem the llama themselves. Apparently someone had called in a search for it earlier, saying it was an escaped camel? Lol. It was huge enough to be a camel though.

When the officer asked for my drivers license I was so disoriented that I gave him my credit card. Ahahaha. For awhile I thought I had hit the Llama instead of the guy in front of me! I was pretty shaken up. My face got a little fucked up in the accident, but I'm super manly and survived like a pro. I didn't even have to go to hospital!

So now I have no car.

The llama, of course, got away completely unscathed.

You might have noticed that my journal looks a little barren. I figured, since it’s the new year, that I might as well start with a clean slate— So I tucked away 2008’s entries in an archive for my eyes only. In retrospect, 2008 was a pretty good year for me. Admittedly, the road there was a little bumpy, but I made a lot of self-improvements and I met a lot of friends. I’m looking forward to 2009. I think it’ll be even better this year. My resolutions are as follows:


  1. DRAW A TON AT LEAST 500 PICTURES
  2. LEARN TO DRAW BETTER AND FASTER
  3. LOSE LIKE 8 POUNDS
  4. BE A GREAT FRIEND
  5. BE A GREAT BRO
  6. STOP MUMBLING AND LEARN TO TALK RIGHT
  7. FINISH THINGS THAT I START


IF I CAN DO ALL THIS THEN SURELY IT WILL BE A GREAT YEAR.

I hosted a Christmas/New Years party for my high school buddies over night on the 31st. It cost me a pocket full to cater it, but it was totally worth it to see every body again, even if the horrible movie we were forced to watch drove a couple people away. The dirty santa game we played was filled with even more crap and re-gifts than last year, ha ha. I guess next year we should play secret santa instead.

A good portion of the night was sacrificed to watch Funky Forest, possibly one of the weirdest(and worst) movies I have ever seen. It was at least 5 hours long. Uuuugh I hope I never have to sit through something like that again. More than half of the people in the room didn’t even enjoy it, I don’t understand why we kept watching it.. we just did. I guess it was so weird we had to keep watching.

After midnight we split some cookie cake and sparkling grape juice, and headed down to the river to shoot off some fireworks. [info]kobacake had driven down to South Carolina to buy the good, illegal kind. THEY WERE SO SWEET, GUYS. THEY EXPLODED INTO LIKE A MILLION STREAMERS OF LIGHT. My friend Rebecca was wearing flats and forgot to wear socks down to the field, so I ended up giving her mine. My toes were frozen solid, BUT IT’S OK CAUSE THE FIREWORKS WERE TOTALLY SWEET. My brother brought me a pair of hiking socks down from the house and I felt a little bit better. We sat around a bonfire talking until 2 in the morning, then came back inside to play some Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

I woke up this morning evening to blueberry waffles and a long gaming session with a few friends and Persona 4. Today is great day to begin the new year.
