MY HARDEST SEMESTER EXAMS ARE OVER. OOOOOVVVVVEEEEERRRRR. I have only TV1 and AP Stat tomorrow, and as I've been saying, everyone says the Stat exams is a breeze~ So I'm not very worried at all! THEN IT'S BREAK UNTIL JANUARY 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

So, I signed up for a photoshoot that our ROCK Orchestra is doing for promotion for an April concert that we're having~! We'll be doing shoots for the Mark Wood Experience Concert~! :"D It was first-come, first-serve, so Dad signed me up as soon as he got the e-mail, and I was ECSTATIC when I got home!!! :"D I'm probably going to go with the outfit in my old devID here: [link] Except that I have wristbands now~ Yay~ And my hair is much shorter than in that pic, so...meh. X3

So, time to go review for this year's last exams~!

Ja~

Well, I just went through and cleaned up old journals. @__@ Tedious...they need to make a checklist-type thing so you can delete multiple at once.

Anyways, for the random updates in Viccy's life~

I'm working on my new ID! I have a rough draft, now I need to make a new one and ink it and color it and stuff. I'll show chibis of people that I know IRL that I see at school everyday, and of course, I can't leave out my daughter, so she'll be there too, with a certain lunchbox in hand... >:3

People to have chibi selves in teh DevID:
*main, non-chibi
*sitting at a desk with paint. :"D
*playing cello.
*standing there with a large drawing.
*running off with Lunchbox. XD
*holding a pair of binoculars (YOU STALKER.)
*holding a hoodie of awesomeness, shocked at Lunchbox's kidnapping...lunchbox-napping? O_o

I'm so weird...

I went and completely revamped my list here: [link] because I had a lot of Eggs that hatched! <3 I got my Eevees except for Jolteon now~

I'm looking at more colleges. Maybe I'll major in writing since I do want to write...

AAAAHHH I MIGHT GET A TABLET!! There's one for about $70 or so on the Wacom site, and I was getting Mom to look at it, and I told her that I reaaaaaally wanted it (because I miss that awesomely huge tablet in EAST lab...). Hopefully I'll get one!! <3 [link] That's the one!

Playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of the Sky is FUNNNNNN. I'M AN EEVEE (Ikitsumi) AND MY PARTNER IS A RIOLU (Karakusk--named after Zac's character. :"P ). Two of my favorites are Eevee and Riolu~ (though everyone knows I'd love a Cranidos to be me while partner is Riolu, or vice versa~ <3 *gets shot* YES I'M STILL A HAGANESHIPPER!! <3 )

Also, I've accepted this realization...I'm not scared of motorcycles anymore. There's a song entitled "Fly On The Wings Of Love" by XTM (featuring Annia), which was the song I was listening to when I had the motorcycle wreck =Journal here: [link] =. It's helped me realize that wounds from the past can be healed with time, and the bandages of time make me stronger and able to let go of painful things from the past. There are different rates of healing, I think...but...I wish for people to be able to find the strength to let go of the past and continue on into the future that awaits them. The future is unpredictable...it could be bad or good, I realize that...but that's what we're here for~! It's to find out the future for ourselves~!

Ehh...this is the last night I'll get to spend with my cousin and his silly wife. Imma miss their cute-couple-lovey-dovey selves. TwT It was so much fun having them around. They were very happy with the Thanksgiving food. :"D So I'm glad that they get to go back to Japan on a good note~!

I'm still on an art block. T___T And a writer's block. I think that attempting NaNoWriMo put me off of Seikaku for awhile, so I haven't gotten any good ideas lately...agggh. This stinks...I have some ideas for Pro-Seikaku, but...I want to work on the idea.

Hm...meh. I have nothing else to say for now, I guess...gonna go play me some Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of SKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! :"P

Oyasumi-nasai~

I've been doodling a lot lately, nothing worthy of posting, unfortunately. I need some...inspiration...or something...to draw. Music isn't cutting the inspiration stroke anymore...

Next summer, it's likely that I'll be moving to Maine. We've got a situation here at home where my parents and sister might go to Japan while I attend college, living with a close family friend. It's probably the best for me, having someone that my parents trust very much to watch me while I try to go further in life. Even so...I really want to stay in-state. I just don't want to leave my friends (parents = 'nag-nag-nag' and I'm deeply attached to my home, this place that I spent a good 16 years of my life in...but with all the shit going on, my parents can't stay once I graduate. Besides, I've already been admitted into ASU-Jonesboro. I'm on my own after that, probably...I mean, I could stay in a dorm, but staying at someone's house over the summer break is another issue. o_o; So many dilemnas...

Also, I think I've found what I want to do! I really want to do something involving art, computers, and something that'll pay well later. Mrs. Gantz (mentor for college stuff and previous teacher for 2 classes) mentioned that I'll have to make an investment to get a tablet and some software that can probably make me work on some manga, and even so, graphic novels if I can keep my writing up too. Who knows, I could make the Seikaku Triology a graphic novel or manga someday. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. It's been a goal since 7th grade...who knows?

I still like someone, but I know (not only because others have stressed that to me numerous times... -_-; ) that backing off is the best thing to do for now...and another good thing to do is FAIL at singing Nano Desu (by Hanyuu from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai) XD

Ja~!

OK, well....I actually have time to update now!

So!...Hectic weekend. Haven't stayed home all day today. Shopping all weekend, I mean it. Radio Shack for GPS, TINY notebook, camera, audio cable. Mall for clothes. Academy (sports store) for clothes and other sport stuffs. Restaraunts. Driving in the countryside. Lake to watch people fish. Saturday was graduation. Office Depot for phone/Zune/computer stuff.

See what I mean?

But I got a camera! It's AWESOME. I love it...and it's red too! :"D It was on sale, about $40 off the regular price. I got a bonus SD card for it too. ^w^ Went to Office Depot, 8GB SD cards for $20. Not bad at all, I'd say. Also, Micro SD card for Dad's phone. Mom's new notebook has 160 GB in it, and because of our wireless plan, it was only $50! :"D IT'S SO SMALL BUT ADORABLE. X3

I'm fixing up the GPS now. They sold QUICK: For a Sanyo, it cost so little that as soon as we got the flyer, the local Radio Shack already sold all 4! DX So we had to go to the mall and we managed to get the last one! O.o Crazy, ne?

Love you all! And I still miss you guys...I wish I could update more.\
