My, it's been a long while since I blogged. o_0;; I must get back into this, my dear little weblog drastrically needs a makeover.. I feel like doing something artsy, but alas, I'm overcrowded with homework right now. I'm trying to get it over and done with today so that I can enjoy the rest of my elongated weekend in the days to come... Which will never happen anyway. My mum has outlined these next few days as rigorous study for my SATs. Well, March isn't too far away, but still.. I lust for freedom. Speaking of lusting, I've found myself longing for the beach these past few days. Nothing feels as good as standing ankle-deep in the ocean, regardless of sharp shells and pebbles. *sigh* It feels like an age since I've been to the beach. T_T I havn't really been up to much else that's worth noting (my life is so dull). You know, it's surprising how few Kingdom Hearts winamp skins are available online. Dunno why I'm looking for them, since I don't even USE winamp. The skins are just so pretty tho. Perhaps I ought to use it and get into making a few of my own. Also, there's something wrong with my image server: my layout aint showing, which means I can't make a new one till it's fixed. >_< Urgh.. I so bored.

Where should I begin? I've been pretty busy lately, but since I've just started winter break I have some time to blog.
Firstly, I got quite a few things for my birthday: manga (InuYasha#3&4, DemonDiary#3), DVDs (Pirates of the Caribbean and Zoolander), money, some yummy chocolates, some new T-shirts, and.. FFX-2! I love the game so far, even though I'm.. not very far. And since the holidays have started I have the perfect excuse to take online quizzes..

Paine
Which Final Fantasy X-2 character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

I likes Paine - I'm glad I get to be her now. >D I would cosplay, but some of my friends are already planning to dress as the Gullwings, and they'll think I've nicked their idea. T_T Maybe if they don't get around to it I shall be Paine at Anime Expo '05. (I can't go to '04 cause I already have plans that summer).
So.. blah. I'm planning on drawing alot this Christmas (surprise surprise) - so for thorough artistic updates see deviantArt.
I can't believe that already I am getting psyched for FFXII - I mean, it's gonna be a long time comming. I am of course, more excited for KH2; need to draw more Riku fanart cause he's so pretty!
I also seem to have rekindled my passion for Auron of FFX - he's just so damn cool! I wish he was in FFX-2, just a little flashback or something with a good line of his? Is that too much to ask?
Also watched Pokémon yesterday ^^ They're supposed to have two new episodes per saturday - somebody lied. I watch Pokémon every week, and I am NOT ashamed! There's something about that show, and it was the first animé I ever saw aside from the Moomins.
So yeah.. right now I am working on two large photoshop CG projects, one of chibi Ashe of FF12, the second an original with painstaking attention to detail - both should be posted eventually and are also expected to take a vast number of hours from my usual videogaming, movie-watching manga-reading time. -_-;;
I am going on holiday tomorrow to.. Las Vegas of all places. Stupid place for a family holiday - nothing to do but sit by the pool. Not that I'm complaining about sitting by the pool, and my PS2 is comming along for the ride, but my poor computer and I shall be spart for a full ten days. *strokes tablet* I'll miss you, tabby-chan! (heh, that's the name I gave it. Original, ne?) XD
Gah! I need more time to Oekaki! I gots history and english homework due that I would have preffered to work on during my first week, but fate has it that it shall be left until after my fun in the sun; by that time I shall be getting restless and hyper on sugar. Oh well.

ooyy.. Well, I suppose I have mixed feelings about today. It was interesting, and then again it wasn't.
As per usual, I set aside my tennis racket against the door to bring to school. This effort failed miserably, at which I was a little disappointed because it meant I had to use the PE department's shoddy ones that are all either bent in some place or have several strings missing.
It is actually beginning to get a little chilly around here nowadays, and I really have missed that. This time of year the English countryside that I once called home would be covered with frost and wodnerful puddles of ice for the pests from the boys' school to slip and break their necks on >:D (I'm so pleasant, am I not?)
I think I have been set into a poetic mood today, I'm not sure if it's the sun being so very low by Californian standards and yet quite high by my standards so that it is shining directly into my eyes all the live long day. Perhaps that's just me. I fear being vision impaired would not agree with most people. (yes, i try to be subtle and funny but it's not working)
A friend of mine suggested to me today that we should watch PotC together for an extended period of time, a "Pirates and popcorn night" if you will. Trouble is, we're not sure WHERE to watch it. Her family have a widescreen, whereas mine have surround sound, and it's not as if either can be easily moved. -_-;;
Last night I was watching TV with my family, and my brother attempted, as he usually does when I spend any ammount of time with him, to lure me into an argument. He makes comments about such and such, I retaliate, he hits me, I hit him back, we hit each other, etcetera. Not any different from our usual arguments in the slightest, but my mum spaced out. She sent me upstairs, refused to let me retreive my sketches or log out of my accounts, and wouldn't let me come down for the rest of the night. I was in such a foul mood that I tripped over my rubbish left over from Japan Town. Well, an apple gummy fell out, and if I hadn't tripped I'm sure I'd never have found it and it would have got thrown away. Those Hi-Chew apple gummies may just be my favourite candy in the world, so I was very happy. ^^
Blirgh.. I'm making too much out of my uneventful life again. There is just one quote I'd like to put in here that I discovered today during my "quiet reading time" in English. (heehee.. I remember how we used to call it that in Primary!) :D
"He stood staring into the woods for a minute, then said "What is it about the English countryside - why is the beauty so much more than visual? Why does it touch one so?" He sounded faintly sad. Perhaps he finds the beauty saddening - I do myself sometimes. Once when I was quite little I asked father why this was and he explained that it was due to our knowlede of beauty's evanescence, which reminds us that we ourselves shall die."
From I Capture the Castle. I adore what I have read of that book so far, and after spending the first 14 years of my life in the English countryside, I wholeheartedly agree with it.

2 & 1/2 days till my birthday! w00t!
*ahem* I think I'm making too much of this. 0_o;; It really does suck to have a birthday 2 weeks before Christmas. Everybody's all too caught up in the holiday spirit to pay me much attention.
Anyways, update on deviantArt yesterday, and I sent in some new (and old) stuff to Phoenix Tears. Not sure how long it'll take for that to update but I feel kind of guilty for neglecting the gallery in the first place. -_-;;
Still supposed to be studing for my driver's ed test, but drawing and internet browsing got the best of me yet again. I'm missing getting comments on my Elfwood galleries, I used to be fetching a few comments daily on some of my PotC stuff, and they would make me so happy. Only one I've gotten for a while was cold hard criticism, and about my design too rather than an area that I can improve on. T_T It hurts to hear such negativity towards my life's efforts, it truly hurts. *le sigh* I know I'm not supposed to wallow in self pity like this, I know I should do the "good thing" and count my blessings, but I am not at all in the mood.
I hear such good things about Ragnorak Online, and they made me want to play it, but turns out the mods are selfish and want you to pay them for it. -_-;; If I could afford these sort of things I'd be paying for webhosting and a domain name, not online RPGs. They intrigue me, and yet they drive me away with their ridiculous demands, all I want is a place to unwind, and I've lost the online doodleboards to my dad's paranoia. *sigh* Me needs to oekaki, that's the only thing that'll do it, even though I prefered PenChat to BBS. Well, oekaki has better tools, and the fact that it's online serves as an excuse for the bad quality artwork that I produce from it. Darn it, if I was rich I could have all this crap and then I'd have temporary relief from this achey feeling in my heart. Lunch may give me just that lift that I need - though I do count myself lucky that I'm a twig with a high metabolism. *meanders off to fill the void*

fufufuu... Exactly one week until my birthday. Then I get lots of manga and video games and DVDs and CDs and all that other junk that I like. Yes, I am in a good mood. I am supposed to be doing my US History homework, but I do despise it so.
What news? I sent through an update for my Elfwood fanquarter gallery, but it could actually take a whole month to go through. -_-;; I WANT my PotC dvd - but I suppose I shall appreciate it more as a gift. I wanna draw lots of fanart, but my teachers seem to enjoy giving me homework in large portions. I began to make a new layout for this blog yesterday out of boredom. It looks pretty and all, but it's too grey. I am far too attached to this current layout, simple and boring though it is. I do cherish it so. ^^
Heehee.. I found a new manga to read; Kare Kano! It's very Mars-meets-Marmalade-Boy, which is just perfect since they've both finished. *note that I have yet to read Mars 10 yet, let alone 15* I think when the holidays come around I'll have to find a new online activity, since my dad fixed my computer to disable my most treasured and beloved Pendako doodle board. Oekaki's fun and all, but it takes too long and mine never come out right. >_< My fingers are numb from writing kanji day in day out. Seems we don't learn many new words in Japanese anymore, just kanji, kanji, kanji. But, as a plus, I learnt the kanji for "pirate" today. ^^ Which reminds me, I have my "iro no kanji shiken" (colours kanji test) on Friday. EEK! 0_o;;
On another note, I'm enjoying the fact that BBC America has stocked up on it's British comedy. ^^ The Office and Dead Ringers are fast becoming two of my very favourite programs. Ah, I remember listening to Dead Ringers on the radio in the car back in England - cracked me up then and the TV show still cracks me up now. Not quite as badly as Trigger Happy TV first did. I was so sad when they made the token "cheesy american version" of it. What the hell was Dom Jolly thinking when he let them do that?!?
AAAKKK! Watashi no Caribbean no Kaizoku no DVD ga hoshii desu! *cries*

Rah rah! (what is up with these random noises I keep typing?) 0_o;; Umm.. so.. I got me photos developed, which is a pretty big deal for me, seeing how there's some in there from almost 2 years ago - December 24th 2001 to be precise, the very last day that I officially lived in England. T_T It's so sad, there are photos of my old room and my old street and stuff - but it's not so hard to forget, seeing how I still have the boxes from the move in my room! XD The very saddest thing was that I left on Christmas Eve. Every year on Christmas Eve, I used to go down to London and ride double-decker buses and see all the pretty lights and the shop displays before missing the train and getting back really late. >D Not on my own obviously, with my family. It was a sort of tradition for us.
Well, I also got some photos from Animé Expo 2003, which is quite a different atmosphere as you might imagine. If you were to go purposely looking for an opposite to London, Anahime would be it. @_@ I think I may actually have reason at this point to consider myself lucky to have been to such a range of places, but then again, I have only ever been to three different countries in my entire life, and France was only for a day, so it doesn't count. >P
Trouble with getting my photos back is that the place my mum dropped it off for me doesn't process the type of film my camera uses without double prints and Kodak perfect touch. So instead of I was charged . That's all my money! Now I'm broke! T_T I'm seriously regretting giving that dollar to that school charity right about now...

Tcha! Blogging again when I shouldn't (me parents have issues with me being on the comp all day). Weeell, lotsa stuffs to report. I went on my bi-yearly Japan Town field trip yesterday, bought a bunch of stuff, ranging from groceries to manga. Consisted of some Pocky, apple gummy and soforth, Konpeitou (sugar stars! wai!) and added Inu Yasha #4 and Demon Diary #1 to my bookshelf. ^_^
I be happy. I also just saw the Prisoner of Azkaban trailer online. I wanted to see the thing in cinema soo bad! But I shall have to settle for Media Player for now. (Can't afford to go to the movies for a while!)
Last weekend was a major shopping spree too, so after having 0, I am now down to . Pity me. T_T
I love the trailer so much! Snapeh looks pretty in a dress! XD I was so afraid they weren't going to film that scene for the sake of Alan Rickman's pride. It's nice to see that he's willing to commit to the role, but I'll bet they gave him a major payrise first! >D
Right now I <3 Demon Diary, and had I the money, I would buy the whole series right now! After only reading Tokyopop samplers before, now I've got the real deal in pristene condition sitting snugly alongside my beloved Chobits, DragonBall, InuYasha and many many more. ^^ My bookshelf seems to be more of a display case than anything else. It is plastered with anything I declare "cute" (or just something from one of my little fettishes), and therefore houses an assortment of figurines - Vegeta, Piccolo, Puchiko, Snape, Hello Kitty, a Chocobo and a rubber duck to name a few. XD
Okay, gotta leave now so I can get woken up early by my brother and his noise-making! >_<

lol... I was playing around on Babelfish, and ended up creating an Engrish version of the song "A Pirate's Life for Me". Living proof that I have too much time on my hands..

"We plunder us, our rifles and the trophy it plunders,
Beverage hearties on me and Yo Ho!
Us you kidnap, voice quickly, destroy, and do not give,
Beverage hearties on me and Yo Ho!
Yo Ho and Yo Ho! Life of pirate because of me.
As for us extort, as for us it pulls out and the load does, we see stealthily, insert in the sack,
Beverage hearties on me and Yo Ho!
Maraud, usurp, and take over,
Drink hearties and Yo Ho on me!
Yo Ho and Yo Ho! Life of pirate because of me.
Yo Ho and Yo Ho! Life of pirate because of me.
We burn, burn, burn up, and ignite,
Beverage hearties on me and Yo Ho!
We burn on the city, us fright which really is,
Beverage hearties on me and Yo Ho!
Yo Ho and Yo Ho! Life of pirate because of me.
We giving thickly the person and the scoundrel, are villans and the scoundrel,
Beverage hearties on me and Yo Ho!
We are the egg whose demon and the nuisance really are bad!
Beverage hearties on me and Yo Ho!
Yo Ho and Yo Ho! Life of pirate because of me.
We densely are coming and blighters and cads of not being useful,
Beverage hearties on me and Yo Ho!
Approval! But we are loved by our mothers and the father!
Beverage hearties on me and Yo Ho!"

And, thanks to that little boredom trip, I'm out of time to blog! >_<

Halloween! W00t! I went to school today as Jack Sparrow, and no, that doesn't mean I wore a stripy shirt and an eye-patch, it annoys me when people do that and seem to think they look like him. -_-;; I've been working on this outfit fully for a few weeks, so it was as near to perfect as I could possibly get on a low budget. (Yes, I am stingy.) I especially like my strings of beads in my hair. Three of them, in all the correct places. I manged to pull off those little coin-like beads he has with some perfectly positioned metallic buttons. ^^ I know I'm making way too much out of this, but I actually was able to dress up as someone I vaguely look like. Well, it's true. I have kinda tan-ish skin and very dark eyes. I have dark brown hair that hangs down and looks a little too raggety. Come to think of it, I think my hair is actually wavey, but the weight of it straightens it out, and I've had it long since before I can remember what it looked like short.
Um.. anyhow. Yes, I walked around for the entire day dressed like Jack, drinking a can of Rockstar and eating a box of Cheerios. (Chemistry project... dont ask.) I never knew till now, but Cheerios are really fun to throw at people, especially when its out of a car window at people you know when they're walking home. >D Had two in-class parties, and practically had a third during my test in English. You know, teachers really shouldn't give the answers when people wonder out loud. XD
I'm off to scrounge more sugar from my brother so I can get hyper off that fizzy sugar and blue food colouring. ^^

*yawn* Blogging again when I shouldn't.. bad Kinoko! >D I had a looong and stressful day, I'm sposed to be getting ready for bed now. I JUST finished my chem homework - I hate getting work dumped on me. Finished work on me Halloween costume - the beads are now all in place! I have to give presentation in chem tomorrow, and I have a huge english test I didn't have time to study for. 0_o; Ah well, it IS fortunate that I have study hall directly before it, isn't it? ^__^ I got to eat lotsa food today cuz me Japanese class is having a party. We're bringing food so we can eat whilst we watch Spirited Away in its original Japanese soundtrack glory. (Subtitled, of course. None of us know that much Japanese!) My friend brought in her dvd, but they told me to bring in my copy too in case she forgets. I was so afraid someone would steal it! I was checking my backpack all day long!
And THEN after stuffing myself, I had to do Aerobics. X_X Gah! It was terrible! I always thought aerobics was murder, but on a full stomach..? -_-;; I don't see why Juniors have to do PE this year, they're so mean to make us when next year won't be doing it! I'm sooooo very tired, even though it isn't very late. Perhaps it has something to do with my sister waking me up at 5:00 AM with her ever-persistent bath-water. T_T Oh WHY is my bed right against the wall to the bathroom of all places? Oh well. Least I get to be an angry presentation-giving, test-taking pirate tomorrow!

Two entries in a row, ne? I must be like, superhuman or something. :D Nah, the real reason I'm blogging today is because I had to fix some probs with me layout. >_< I really should work on those kinds of bugs before I post them, but I havn't used notepad in ages. I dont feel I really have a need to, since all my sites have built-in HTML editors that I can just plug into and preview before I update.
School was blugh today. Nothing interesting happened (like it ever does), but I dont have any homework, so I be happeh. I'm using my free time not only to do my regular computing, but to ready my Halloween costume for Friday. It's not like I'm gonna go out for candy or anything, but I like to dress up for school and take snapshots of all my friends in their outfits. This year I'm being Captain Jack Sparrow (teehee!) I'm actually wearing the bandana right now, it's nice and fun to wear round the house. I'm gonna get bead and even DICE to put in my hair! Is that fun or what? I also found out (a while ago actually) that PotC is gonna be released on DVD eight days before my birthday, so for once, I get one of my favourite things bought for me. ^^ I must be on a lucky streak or something.

W00t! New layout! ^_^
I was rampaging around the net and I came across some adorable original art from KH: Chain of Memories and KH2. I took my favourite CoM pic and made layouts and wallpaper, the latter of which can be found here.
Layout is white again, but white is easier, cuz stuff usually erases better white. *guilty smile*. I kept the "cut-a-long" divider for personal reasons.. I likes scissors! I've been obsessing over the KH Deep Dive clip alot this evening, I wanted to know what all those little quotes said, so I kept pausing it till I knew them all. Um... yeah. -_-;; I'm very fond of this layout *paws the sceen*, but I need to find more of that pretty original art like in the game manual for Riku - there are next to naught of him and Kairi for KH2. I <3 Kairi's new outfit, but you onlt ever see the back of it in ANY of the previews. Nurgh! Makes it so hard to draw stuff when you don't know what it looks like!
While I'm on KH-rant-mode, soo many people online seem to think that the "dual-keyblader" in KH Deep Dive is Sora... But the fact that they think Sora would have those eeevil glowy eyes is beyond me. I also found a very disturbing picture online about this hooded dual-keyblader, and it isn't pretty. That guy gives me the creeps. O_o;;
