pokenoms!
I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and my hash browns are still cooking in the toaster-oven... My stomach is protesting loudly against this form of torture! It doesn't help that I've been practically salivating over these Magikarp...yaki...things that I found on the pokem0nfacts tumblr. Lookeee~
YUUUUMMM don't they look just delicious?! And also, since I've been through a Swablu/Altaria obsession since I found a shiny one on my friend's Ruby... More food! (Don't tell! I traded the Swablu over to my Pearl via Pal Park~ :3)

truth or dare?
Playing virtual truth or dare on (c) Facebook with my friends has never been so much funnn <3 To be honest, the game was the bane of my existence when I was little. I was so afraid that I would get dared to talk to my crush and stuff like that... xD Now, I'm pretty sure TorD is like one of the funniest games out there. Teehee~
sweet peas
My entire room smells like BBW's Sweet Pea. xD I had an accident with one of my fragrance mist bottles and it just got EVERYWHERE. It smells delicious, of course, but I have a feeling I'm going to smell like sweet peas for more than a few days. (Side note: I keep on spelling sweet pea as "sweat pea" and it makes me laugh everytime. Haha...sweat peas! xD)
I re-did my nails again, in OPI's Gone Gonzo! which is part of the Muppet's collection...I think. It's all nice and blue and sparkly and stuff C: Super awesome! Monday's my school's House Track Meet, and my house's colour is blue, so I decided to do my nails accordingly.
Current Song: Morrowind from The Elder Scrolls 3, I think. I THINK. It's been stuck in my head ever since my brother decided to play it on the piano. :3
Current Mood: Congested. And...neutral.
It's gloomy outside. :0

hybrid animals
Yesterday I got the coolest art assignment ever. It sounds like a ton of fun, and I'm sure that a better artist than me would start spewing out some awesome drawings. Trust me, I'm not a good artist at all. I can sort of paint and I can sort of draw - but usually, my stuff ends up looking like a bunch of scribbles and gloopies on paper. *sigh* ANYWAY, I've decided that I'm going to at least TRY to have some fun with this assignment. Hopefully the finished product won't look too shabby :)
OKAY. Here, I'll type out the assignment first.
ISA Term 1 - Independent Sketchbook Assignments
Each independent sketchbook assignment consists of the following two prts:
a) 8 THUMBNAIL SKETCHES to develop many variations to express your ides. They don't have to be perfectly rendered - just try to keep the creative ideas flowing.
b) ONE FINAL VERSION that is fully developed for your full page drawing treatment. This final drawing should have as much detail as possible to convey your ideas with clarity. Experiment with a variety of media.
SKETCHBOOK OPTIONS: Select 2 creative challenges from the list below for your sketchbook assignments this term.
I'm not going to list all of the options, so I'll just tell you what I chose. For the first one, I chose "Combine a plant and an animal to create a new hybrid life form" and "Create a structure/building that is suited to the particular landscape it is part of".
Sounds fun, no? I also got permission from my teacher to combine animals with in-animate objects. The first one is due in a few weeks, so I got started on that already. No, I'm not going to be posting any of my sketches cause they're just awful. I'll just post the notes that we're expected to write along with each of our creations.
#1 - Leaf + Butterfly. It has leaves for wings - not the most creative of ideas, but I put it down just 'cause I thought the idea was cool. These hybrid butterflies can only hatch from their cocoons in the spring. Their wings change with the season and they only have a life span of one year - come winter, their wings will wither away and the butterfly dies.
#2 - Branches + Cat. This idea is a bit underdeveloped. You know how people like to draw skeletons of animals and creatures? I was hoping for the design of this particular hybrid cat to be sort of the same thing, substituting bones for branches. And the branches are only going to make up the tail/legs. The cat will have dappled brown fur. These cats have very delicate limbs and usually stay in the canopies of larger trees in forests.
I'll post some more stuff later - gotta go eat something before I pass out from hunger.

apricot jam and late posts D:
Ugh. So I've been sick for the past few days (I still am, but I'm a lot better than before, trust me!) and haven't been able to post anything...yikes! There's this terrible bug going around - and it hasn't just reached my school. My friends from other schools are all sick, too! And my sister said that all of her friends have some type of cold/flu/sore throat/the works, too. Anyway, I'm just glad that I've been able to return to a semi-functional state. C:
On to my newest addiction: apricot jam. Okay, so it really isn't a "new" addiction, but today I realized that I like apricot jam more than I ever did before. It's just been a while since I've had REAL jam in a long time - my mom insisted on getting this low-sugar jam that was quite ... interesting ... so it came as a real surprise to me when she came home with ACTUAL JAM. YAY MOM! :D
Since I'm sick and all, I can't go around stuffing myself with food like I usually do ... which sucks. But! Since my throat is better today, I decided to have some tea and toast. Fun fact: I love my PBJs, but I've never been a strawberry jam kind of girl - APRICOT JAM FTW! So yeah. Milk tea + peanut butter and apricot jam toast = the best food I've had for 2 days. Seriously. I've been eating nothing but noodles and soup for the past two days, and for a fatty like me, it was nearly unbearable. Even though my mom makes some killer (asian) soups.
Here's some eye candy. I found it off of one of my favourite dessert/food/cake tumblr things. Yummy! And it fits in with the apricot jam theme :3
Last note - I'm writing for my school's magazine ... newspaper ... thing, and the theme for October is "Alter Ego". You know, getting into Halloween early and all that. Sounds really interesting, doesn't it? Yeah! It does! I want to do something interesting, not your typical "I have a twin" drabble or "Jekyll and Hyde" story. You know? I've got a few ideas stored up in my brain somewhere, but I'm still looking for a few. I'll probably post the thing once I end up writing it. Could be never. Sometimes I'm not satisfied with ideas and decide to scrap them before I write them.
Ja ne!

deeply violet
My friend lent me her bottle of Sally Hansen - Deeply Violet and I did my nails with it just now. It's actually quite pretty, but maybe that's just because I've been practically addicted to shiny, dark colours for a while now. I'm not a nail expert so I can't give you a full, detailed post about the colour but it is really nice!
Also, I've been practically bawling my eyes out because of Clannad...I only managed to squish in like, one episode per two days this past week, so I'm still on episode 9. But ohmygosh, ep 8+9 are actually heart-wrenching. I'm not going to give any spoilers, though, don't worry.
Why does Fuko have to be so cute? :(

more anime ^__^
I just got graced with wonderful news and I'm practically bouncing off the walls! Yayyyy. Anyways, I updated my anime list because my otaku friend sent me a few more things she said I should watch. I don't remember if I put Love Hina on my other list, but the two others are Full Moon wo Sagashite and Kimi ni Todoke. Oh, and Dengeki Daisy. *Edit 09/23/12* Adding Special A to the list too. :3
C: Sleeping in a bit, I have to wake up early to have breakfast with my family. Lol, I actually eat so much...

azimuth vs. zenith
Currently Listening To: Every Time You Go ~ Ellie Goulding ♥ I really, really love Ellie Goulding. Even before Lights became popular.
Remember that story you always used to tell us? The one about the runaway girl and her runaway sister, who live in a world where death prowls the streets at night. The one about broken hearts and broken dreams and broken promises. Yes. That's the one. I wouldn't mind hearing that one again ...
Current Mood: Drowsy. And hungry. Maybe I'll go grab a snack later! C: #fatasslife
Currently Working On: Remember. And my science homework.

Azimuth is totally the coolest word ever. And zenith. Even though their meanings aren't as cool. Azimuth - the distance of a celestial object, measured in degrees from North, moving clockwise along the horizon. Zenith - the point directly above the observer's head.
OUCH I JUST PAPERCUT MYSELF WITH MY SCIENCE NOTES. I'm telling you, it's a sign that science doesn't want to be studied anymore.

reminders
*Remember to finish your writing*
I want to work on Glitched, The Institution, Exile, Remember, Ringmaster and Stems and Gears. Possibly Fireflower. That's a lot on my plate. Post Glitched character profiles. And work on the Institution plot. Exile needs some character details, too. Remember's currently a pile of nothing, but the idea's in my head. Put it on paper (or, well, on the computer, in any case). Ringmaster needs a lot of work too, as it's still in it's baby stages. Stems and Gears needs a huge character update and that needs to be posted too. Fireflower needs a rewrite.
That's all for now! C:
dango daikazoku~
Okay, so I just watched like 10 episodes of Clannad straight after realizing I had to finish my Latin homework ... and now I have the dango song stuck in my head. It's so cute, isn't it? I actually love the song to death. Clannad is one of my favourite anime/mangas (I haven't played the game) of all time. To be honest, I usually say that to about all the animes and mangas I read or watch, because I don't even bother looking into an anime/manga unless I'm really interested in it. High standards, much? xD
Anyways, I have a few animes on my waiting list to be watched. Personally, I like anime more than manga, although manga is just more convenient. You see, my laptop's not in the most pristine of conditions - which is a nice way of saying that it's really, really old and really, really slow. Naturally, it takes a lot more time for videos to buffer than it does to read manga.
Okay, here's the list (mostly recommended by this one friend of mine who's obsessed with anime :D)
Yumeiro Patissiere
Antique Bakery
Ultramaniac
NANA
Beauty Pop
Dragon Crisis
Sekaiichi Hatsukoi
Glass Mask
Pretear
Love Berrish! (read the manga)
Sekirei
*Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu (this one got mixed reviews from my friends and what little research I did on it...)
OHSHC (I'd like to rewatch this one)
Kaichou wa Maid-sama! (I had a bad history with this one, but I'm willing to give it a second chance.)
Love so Life
Barajou no Kiss
Hadashi wo Barafume (is that even spelled correctly?)
That's it for now, I guess. Gotta get back to Latin and finish Pensum D and Pensum E before I get some sleep ... which I really do need. Besides, I have a science test that I have to study for. It's on Friday, but I want to get the year started off on a good note, and some extra studying never hurt a soul, right?
BUT WAIT! LOOK! IT'S A DANGO! Or well, several of them, anyway. Aren't they adorable?
dango, dango, dango, dango, dango~

just some more general info
Back again. I just wanted to add some more stuff pertaining to the blog. First of all, I don't know how to put up the blog description (HAH I'M STUPID, I KNOW! Dx) so I'm doing it now. This blog was mostly made to satisfy my longing for a blog, lol. Um. I love writing, so I'll probably be posting some random ficlets or whatever I have on my mind. Also, I love tumblr so I'll be posting a lot of stuff I find from there, too. Yes, I know you're probably going to say "Why don't you just make a tumblr account?", to which I'll respond, "Because I don't feel like it and I want something more ... personal?". That's why.
(Excuse my horrible grammar in the above paragraph! I'm too lazy to correct it... Tsk, tsk, what kind of a writer am I? My subconscious is raging at me now. ; __ ; )
My favourite tumblr is pokem0nfacts - the stuff is just so awesome/pretty/addicting/cutesy. Yes. I'm a Pokefreak, Pokenerd, whatever you want to call it. Yes, I'm a girl. Yes, I (sometimes) do competitive Pokemon and I do play Pokemon Online. No more prying, I feel uncomfortable leaking out all my life secrets as it is.
Right. About my writing. I write about anything and everything - my writing is cynical, sarcastic, moody, freaky, happy, sad, weird, random. I do dabble in writing RPs, but I quit that a long time ago. I don't write for any websites except for ones that I have emotional attachments to. <3
Also, I think I'm in love with Celebi and Jumpluff today. My favourite Pokemon will always be Umbreon and Dragonair, though. The picture below is not owned by me. I don't know where it's from, but it's damn awesome and I love it.

the beginning?
In the midst of doing my Latin homework, I found myself with a sudden urge to create a blog. Thirty minutes later, I finally managed to create something to my liking...kind of. I'm not very proficient with HTML, so I decided that coding my own website wouldn't be a great idea, so I turned to the templates. Now, I'm not degrading the templates for the blogs here or anything, but I have to say, the choices are rather...limited. You know? Anyways. That's it for now. Tata.
