The Week of Nothing?

Hiya all..I wonder what happened to my archives?'_' puzzling, to say the least...

Well, it appears that the lull between school starting and midterms starting is now approaching an end. Midterms start next week for me, so I'll probably be busy as heck soon. This week was pretty calm though, but then again, it is a short week, since monday was a holiday.

About the only interesting thing that happened was that i had a major art project due today that I didn't remember I had until last night. I did get it done though, and now i have a 17 x22 poster of Wolfwood.^_^ I LIKE Wolfie, so I can draw him if I want! Never mind that i've never DRAWN him before...he turned out rather well, methinks. The thing was, I only had my TRIGUN artbook as a source when I started this project, since I made my mom and brother lug the rest of my anime/manga stash back home when they came up to visit me this past weekend. So I didn't have anything but TRIGUN. Not that I'm complaining^_~ I'm thinking about trying to draw Vash next, he's such a sweetie...Have I mentioned that Legato scares the heck out of me?^_^;;;

For the poster making occasion I finally got myself a black marker. i had ordered one from Copic, but it's taking its sweet time getting here, so I got a Prismacolored one for this poster. ...It reminded me of why Prismacolor markers and I don't get along. I guess it was just really hard to use, since it was either a fine point (which died really fast, I noticed) or a super broad side, which has almost NO degree of precision. It was okay to color large areas with the broad tip and fix the details with the fine tip, until the fine tip DIED. And this marker is brand new!^^;;;

I also got a lovely, nifty package from my RL friend, who is now lurking in most of the places I hang out under the guise as a mostly dead but beloved regular^_^. She sent me chocolates (for Valentines day), a turtle to match my turtle windchime, hot chocolate (that was from her boyfriend. They remembered that I like hot chocolate! *that's so sweet!*), spiffy colored gel pens and a disk with her new and nifty story on it. I can't wait to read more^_^

Hmm...I've also gotten the replies to most of the nice long emails sent in my directions written up and sent. I've been fairly dilligent when it comes to art...I updated the misc. page yesterday, in case anyone's interested at all^_^, but fics have been kinda slow going...I still get surprised when I get nice comments on my fics^_^;;;; I seriously think they are all bad...*shrug*. They do say that you're your own worst critic.

This weekend will probably be spent trying desperately to get a head start on the insanity that will be midterms week (or midterms/essays/papers/projects month, to state it more correctly...). Though knowing me, I would also devote all of Friday night to drawing pictures that I can't scan until Sunday.-_-; And making bookmarks. The paper I got for the poster was too big, so I had to cut it down some. I'm going to make bookmarks out of the leftovers^_^. Anyone want some? I take requests^_^

Ok, gotta go. Class in a bit, and I have to figure out how to transport my poster thingie...

Valentine's Day

...is boring^_^. Nothing happened today.-_-; It was boring....Well, except the stuff I ate^_^. For the whole day I just ate a danish, a donut, and I'm planning to get sushi for dinner. Yum^_^. Ok, going to go buy that sushi now. see ya!^_^

Nothing up...

...except that my mom and brother are coming down(up) for the long weekend.^_^ I'm looking forward to that, but I'd better remind them not to park in ...er...my school. Around my school, that is. Security here is really bad and lots of people's cars get robbed. T'would be bad if that happened...

Nothing else much...school is in the lull between the hectic first few weeks and the hectic first midterms. I'm going to enjoy it while I can, since after midterms start, life starts getting busy. (or rather, life is already busy, but with midterms it gets busier and nastier...With finals, it's even worse!^_^;)

Well, Chinese New Years came and went..not much happened, as is the norm around here (or at least, the norm with me^_^;). I didn't get any dumplings or red envelopes, tho one of my friends asked me for one (I am older than her and it's tradition for the older one to give money to the younger ones). Thankfully, I didn't have to. She also gave me helpful tips on soliciting red envelopes from relatives.^_^ It was very nice...too bad I didn't have any relatives nearby to solicit it from...@_@

Last night there was a floor meeting and I went because I was promised a root beer float. I went and got the root beer float, got three refills and took a can of root beer (they had leftovers by the end) for good measure...Good thing RB is caffine free, or else I would've gotten no sleep whatsoever last night, which would've made today less than bearable..@_@

Hm...my muse is over the happy family fic stage and now she's clamoring for leather. I ask her what kind of leather and she answers the skintight kind.@_@. Black...kinda goth looking...And chains.o_0;;; I wonder what has gotten into her...but anyway, this is her latest fad/obessession/fetish...so don't blame me if you start seeing ppl in black leather in my pics!^^;;;

Ok, gotta go...@_@. Dinner is good...I didn't have dinner last night and that was rather painful...

a normal type day...

Well...after taking some painkillers, my tooth has stopped bothering me...of course, that still leaves the wonderful task of finding a dentist up in the air...-_-; I don't think I like going to the dentist. Tis scary.

Tomorrow is Chinese New Years, so a happy Chinese New Years to all that celebrate the holiday^_^. I wonder why we don't get school off that day. *pout* tis not fair! And I want to have those traditional parades, where everyone dresses up and does that dance thingy with the dragon heads...I don't know how to put it into english, but it's really cool^_^. Not to mention celebrations always imply good tasting food, yum! Ugh, lunch was pretty bad today, too. I decided to not risk my stomach's eternal wrath and just got a deli sandwich instead. It was okay...not horribly tasty, but okay...Man, what wouldn't I give for some leaf wrapped rice ball thingies and those sweets that we get for Chinese New Years!;_; And good dumplings! And buns! ....Ok, I'm going to stop now before I get myself hungry again...-_-;

hmm...what else? Well, there are quite a few art projects for me on the to-do list^_^. Not only do I have to do a bunch for the anime decal I'm taking, I'm also doing fanart for ppl and maybe picture swaps. (Jen-sama~~! I worship thee! Ok...that was off topic...^_^;;;;). Whew! Knowing me, i'll figure out what i need to do three days too late, and end up being late on everything.-_-; at least there's no econ homework this week...

And yes...I think the worst of my cold is over. The only leftover annoyances are an occasionally stuffy/runny nose. Other than that, no more fatigue/headaches^_^. Me happy...it's so easy to take health for granted...

I have handball class next. A very exciting game, Handball is...and good exercise too^_^; That is good for me, since I tend to sit around all day and do nothing in the way of exercise.@_@ One of those days, all that sitting is going to catch up to me and I'll have back pains. Ugh, I hate back pains too...I'm too young to have back pains!^_^

Gee, what's it with me today? I'm being so talkative...strange. Maybe it was the ice cream. yeah...Lunch sucked but the ice cream was delicious.

I wonder how many ppl are reading this? *puzzled frown* I still can't figure out why anyone would want to, but oh, well....each to their own.

Due to info given to me by the nice ppl on mIRC, the slayers chat that i hang out in, i found that there was a deadjournal.com^_^ isn't that funny? I think that's VERY funny. I'm almost tempted to get an account up on there...except for the fact I already have this lovely blog and for all intents and purposes, am too lazy to get another one. Hmm...I might be able to put piccies up there tho, that I can't here (or that I can't put up here because I'm not hosting it at my own domain...or 1/3 of my domain, whatever^_^;), so that might be a plus. Hmmmm.....*considers* Well, we'll have to see.

Off to handball practice now^_^

Updates...I can't believe how dilligent I am..-_-;

ever have one of those days? Well, I'm glad mine is almost over. And today was supposed to have been a good day too.-_-; blaaaaah. I hate today.

anyway, I updated my site. 4 new pics, joy...I say they're rather crappy, but oh, well. The one I really wanted to draw wasn't coming out right.

I hate toothaches.-_- it's one of the worst types of pain, I think. And what's worse is that there isn't much I can do about it. Grr, I hate feeling helpless! Grrrrr.....

Ok...anger and frustration not really vented, but at least it's better than before. I wonder if I can eat dinner tonight without my teeth (ok, just one tooth...but dang, is it an annoying tooth!) giving me hell..-_-

Going now

I hate Morpheus...

My day sucked. Grr. It was okay until my D drive got wiped by accident. I blame it all on Morpheus. I hate it now...grrr....I did get pics scanned tho. *sigh* I guess that means I need to update my page...*sigh* I'll make a note when I'm done.

new template!

Yup! majo the internet challenged finally figured out how to change templates!^_^ Being technology challenged is annoying...

The weekend again....

Actually, it's tomorrow, but oh, well^_^. Close enough. I have a lot of schoolwork this weekend, and an essay to write. But I get to watch Read or Die once Monday rolls around^_^ Yay! Also, my muse wants to be cooperative now...except that she wants to write happy family fics. I haven't written warm-fuzzy-happy fics in forever...@_@. I guess i got too used to writing dark evil stories!

What else? I got mIRC again...which is okay. I get to worship Jen-sama, the great artist of various drool-worthy bishonen. Hehe...I worshipped everyone else in the channel too, and in the process probably scared some people^_^.

I think my cold got better though..at least I don't feel quite as tired today as I did yesterday. My head is not fuzzy, which is a great improvement. But I gotta admit..the cold medicine tasted pretty good.^_^ Almost sweet enough to not be medicine at all...It's pretty dangerous, I think. I mean, little kids probably think it tastes great! Talk about the dangers of overdose...

I want to redo the template of this page, darn it! grrr....

Going off to try. See yas!

Zipadi doo da...zipadi day...my oh my what a horrible day....

Hello everyone...

Wow, the last entry was last saturday, huh? Well, it's thursday, so it's been almost a week. And what a week it was...@_@. Somewhere along the course of this week, i caught a cold. It's the one I get every semester...with almost the same exact symptoms, tho I'm sure the viruses/bacteria causing it are different. I hate being sick. It makes my head feel all fuzzy and I can't do my homework. Which is bad, because homework is meant to be completed at home and then turned in. Doesn't matter if you're sick or not...

Today takes the cake though...I did get to sleep in a measly 10 minutes despite the fact I actually get an hour free on thursday mornings. Then it's almost non-stop classes until 7pm.@_@

On a good note, i did get to draw pics and color them...hmm, did I put the links? Let's see...http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/copic1fran1.jpg and http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/copic2ashura2.jpg. And if those don't work, just copy and paste the links instead of clicking on them. Or go browse the site^_^. Knock yerselves out...

Speaking of knockouts..I'd better get my studying done quickly, so I can pass out. Being sick is not fun...@_@

It's the Weekend!...

why am I still here...?

It's the Weekend! Tis Saturday! Yay!...why am I still here, stuck in my dorm room!?
It's a rather laughable tale, I must admit...See, I planned to leave around or before noon (it's now a bit past noon, and I'm not leaving...-_-), but I had a book that belonged to one of my classmates that I needed to return. Since we have homework due next week, I really wanted to give it back to her today so she can do her stuff and not get in trouble because she let me borrow her book. So, I was going to give it to her this morning.
Lo and behold, my friend is nowhere to be found, at least, online. And since I don't have her phone number, this presented a problem.
Ok, i thought. Maybe she's just not up (or on the computer) yet. It's okay. If I leave early for SF, and get back early, I'd be home to give her the book with plenty of weekend time to spare.
Of course, it was not to be that easy. My OTHER friend was online and I talked to her, and she wanted to come to SF with me. But she needed 2 hours (approximately) to get ready.@_@ There goes my plan to leave early and come back early! *sigh*...and all this is due to bad planning on my part. Nothing sucks more than knowing that it's allll your fault...@_@

Enough complaining. Majo-chan signing off^_^;

One more day until the weekend...again

Ugh...@_@ I just did a lot of Econ homework...and some reading...and my Japanese listening exercises, which makes this day pretty productive. More productive than yesterday...or the day before that...

Dang, I gotta change my study habits.@_@

Well, that's a bit of homework off my mind, but there's still a lot left@_@. Not to mention my aunt wants me to come over this weekend...and I have homework due...homework homework homework...

Have I mentioned that during breaks, i have nightmares about school? About not making it to finals on time, not turning in projects or homework on time? Methinks I'm a bit TOO stressed about these things^_^;

And the cold isn't helping. When it's cold I just want to sleep...hibernate, if you will. I think I resemble a pig or a bear...-_-;

But I'm irritated at the failings of my HTML editor/converter, whatever. I hate finding out that the formatting I had on a story or something was messed up in someone else's browser (or window or whatever. i haven't figured out the problem yet). the thought of personally putting in all the HTML tags do NOT appeal to me.-_-; I'm so inherently lazy that the thought terrifies me.^_^; I mean, I have to do it here (with the Blog), but that's different from doing it when I'm typing out a story!^^;

Ok...enough griping. It seems like all I'm doing lately is gripe!^^

One more day till the weekend...

Actually, it's pretty much the weekend for me already, seeing as how I don't have any more classes...But I promised myself that I'll get at least 2 out of 3 of my homework assignments done, so I can go to SF tomorrow (why? To get more markers, of course!^^;). But at this rate, I doubt I can get anything done...@_@. So I must be more dilligent!

I went to the Anime Decal yesterday. The class was really big, so I don't know if I can actually get in. Also, there's the problem of the time conflict. I think maybe I'll just audit the class and take it later if it's offered again. And I had no sushi or ice cream this week!;_; I must correct that, and soon...I can feel my body protesting the lack already...@_@ So much homework, so many things to eat, so little time^_^;;;; Yeah...that's me...Weird to the bone, and then some.

On the other hand, I'm thinking about starting the Filia pic I sort of promised Ryo-san that I'd make for her...the one for her fic, 'Chained'. I imagine it'll be quite a bit easier than the one I did for Xel, since, well, I find women easier to draw than men (never mind that the 'woman' in question is actually a dragon and the 'man' in question is actually a demon...). But then again, it really does all depend on how and when inspiration hits me...^_^; It's not been doing that a lot lately, so maybe I'll get lucky.

K, gotta go. I have a date with soap and water before i start doing my homework.
