I really don't like journal titles, what am I supposed to put there? I'm horrible when it comes to catchy titles to draw people in. And putting "ANOTHER UPDATE" is quite dull. Maybe next time I'll put in some animal noise.

Classes:

Got about two more weeks left for this semester, finally! This has probably been the hardest semester so far, and now I only have six more credits to complete. And only one more payment!

Art:

Hmm, haven't been drawing too much...I'm slacking!! But once winter break hits I'm going to be drawing like mad.


Games:

I bought my nephews Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 over Thanksgiving break. Wow that's a fun game! I haven't done single player yet, but multiplayer is a blast. Can't wait until I have my own PS3.^^

Life:

Well, I don't have enough to pay for classes yet...I've got 12 days left until payment it due.^^ Sis and I have been baby-sitting for a family for five days while their parents are in Mexico. I now know how it feels to be a mom 24/7.>.<; I'm not looking to have kids anytime soon. My sis and I are planning on bringing some of our relatives paint-balling over winter break, which should be great fun. And I've been staying healthy, surprisingly.^^
I did see Fourth Kind with my sis. Wow that was a weird movie. Creepy weird. But it was intertaining to say the least. And, I have to admit, I did see New Moon. I waited until after the crazy fan girls saw it the tenth time, and then went to see it with my nephews, sis, and friend. It was better than the first one, definitely. I really like the wolves, they were awesome. But the book is still a hundred times better.^^


What to get done for DA: <--- I haven't changed this list in a looong time...many of you have noticed, I'm sure.

1.)Picture of herself in my style for ~Aerlynn-san. (0% complete)

2.) Draw myself in three different american styles (0% complete procrastination)

3.) =Odin-Lionheart-sama's Black Wind characters (50% complete)

4.) Writer's meme and many other tags (I can't remember most of them, so this should go to my #5)

5.) Other stuff I can't remember at the moment

Thanks a bunch!!

My sis caught my kiriban this time! I'll be putting on the new profile picture in a day or two.

Classes:

Not much different, still a lot of studying. And the fact that every day is going by too fast!

Art:

My brother got my sis and I this book called Visions by Luis Royo. His work is very beautiful, though dark. He mainly draws women, but includes dragons, men, and futuristic scenes. It's very inspiring. I am still working on requests, albeit a little slowly, sorry!


Games:

Hmm, nothing new in this section. Though I'm planning on getting a PS3 this December, hopefully...maybe.

Life:

Getting older, and busier, that's for certain. And I was a little sick, but that happens in winter. My Psyc teacher told my class that his evening class was missing 8 students, who were out sick with H1N1. I really am not too worried about it. If I get it, I get it. Just have to remember to wash my hands a lot.
Getting anxious for Anime Detour next year, though that's still around 6 months away!!!
Besides that, I need to stop being so relaxed. I don't want to look back on my life and regret wasting youthful years not accomplishing something. I promise next journal entry will include something more impressive. Maybe I'll have my website up by then. Or I'll have worked enough to pay for spring classes.^^

Just thinking that the past few days smelled like winter...

Classes:

Took my first exams for my classes, and got B's. Ummm, besides that I've had A LOT of reading homework.^^ For my Criminal Justice class I'm volunteering in West St. Paul at the Dakota County Corrections, filing papers on offenders and such. It's not much, though I'm hoping to help with an investigation or sit in at a court case before I'm done. I'd like some experience, because I've been thinking about becoming a freelance Forensic Artist, maybe. Challenging, but I'm going to try it out.^^

Art:

Last weekend I went to MCAD for the SGMS convention. On Friday sis and I registered and then saw the fashion show. It was sweet! It was based on punk, neovictorian, gothic/lolita style, and very inspirational!^^ On saturday there was a workshop and bazaar. They were selling cool corsets, but too expensive for me!
And there were some lectures, one of which was by C.B. Cebulski, writer and skill scouter at Marvel. On Sunday sis and I went to the portfolio reviews and got some great comments and critiques! And then went to Crispin Freeman's lecture and Tomoko Tanaguchi's lecture. It was very interesting, and afterward we got to talk with them.^^
I have been drawing, and will be submitting very soon!! Thank you for your patience!

Games:

Hmm, besides RagnorakOnline and Call of Duty: World At War, sis and I got a new table-top game called Settlers of Catan. Wow that's a fun game, and quite addicting.^^

Life:

Been very busy, that's for sure! Sis and I got a car finally, from the couple we baby-sit for. They gave it to us for a wonderful price, and though they were worried it wasn't fair for us, I was wondering the same thing for them! It's a 1994 Toyota Camry, and despite its age it runs really good! I did turn 20 on August 1st...wow time flies!

Classes:

Nothing new here, classes will start in about two weeks. I'm actually looking forward to them!

Art:

Been doodling a bit, should really be working on my requests. I started another story, a plot that's been bugging me until I finally put it down on paper. Don't think I'll be putting it up on DA, but I will continue to put my other story, Eighteen up. Kind of forgot about it! Sis and I registered for this Schoolgirl and Mobilesuits workshop/event in September at MCAD. A Japanese artist will be there, along with Tokyopop reviewing portfolios. It should be a great opportunity to get some personal critiques and hopefully some comments.^^

Games:

Nothing new here, except that I've been playing a lot of Fallout 3 and Call of Duty at the cabin with my nephews and sis. Though I did hear a new Shadow of the Colossus game for the PS3 is coming out. Won't be playing that until I get my own PS3, though.

Life:

I've been in Wisconsin the past three weeks and only now have gotten back. My sister-in-law, her kids, and my sis and I went to Milacs Lake and Lake Itaska. Sadly it was kind of chilly and wet, but it didn't really stop us from biking and swimming. Lining up for more baby-sitting this fall while my sis and I start designing a site to sell our art. And of course, still studying Japanese.^^
Last week my sis and I got a new kitten! A neighbor in Wisconsin found a 4 month stray and couldn't keep it since she was moving, and the shelter couldn't take her, so we did. Mom and Dad let us keep her, so we named her Lace, because our other cat's name is Boots. At the moment Boots is having a holy fit; doesn't like the idea of sharing his space in the basement and us with her.^.^ We thought she was a minx or a Japanese bobtail, but found out she lost her tail early on. I'll have to put a picture of her up sometime.

Thanks a bunch!!

Classes:

My summer nutrition class is over and I did fine and dandy. I'll be glad once my final year is over, but then again, it'll be back to working full-time.
My fall classes: Environmental Chemistry, Psychology of Adulthood and Aging, Criminal Justice, and Fencing.

Art:

Not much, though I have almost completed a picture and plan to have it up this week.^^ My goals are to continue practicing with paint.net and the new oil paints I got. Still working on requests, but the drawing and art-making are slow right now. I plan to change that right...right now!

Games:

My sis got Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories for the PS2, but other than that we haven't gotten any new games. My nephew did get Infamous for the PS3 and I watched him and my sis play it. It looks cool, definitely a go-and-buy. My brother did buy Twilight 2013, a role-playing game like D&D. This past weekend I worked on creating a character and afterward I felt really obsessed.^^ With all the choices and decisions you can make, building a character on Fallout 3 seems incomplete. I can't wait until my brother, who will be the game master, creates a one-shot for us.
The only other game I played was COD: World at War. With one of my nephews out of town, I actually didn't do too bad. My sis and I are tied to see whose better, it goes back and forth.

Life:

Working, of course, but who wants to read about that?
The last week of June me, my sis, and my sister-in-law and her kids went camping at Hickory Lake. The first week of July my sis and I went to a 3-day convention of Jehovah's Witnesses, which was really great! Last week I went up to the cabin in Wisconsin to work for my brother. And now I'm back home in St. Louis Park to work for two days before I go camping again. Phew, I need to take a breather.^^
Buuuut, I did see Transformers 2(old news now, right?), the midnight showing June 24th, and saw it again Friday night with my nephew and sis. It was absolutely wonderful, though I can't decide if it was better than the first one. They both were awesome. By the way, I haven't read/watched the show, so I'm not sure how close the movies are to the actual plot. In any case, with Optimus being my favorite, the movie was intense! Can't be spoiling anything though, so that's all I'm saying/hinting at. (I'm a silly fan girl of his, by the way)
