Shinerai

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:57:47 GMT

So I have a whole hour and a half to sit here and type about crap to try and take up my time. Let's see what all I can think of to say. Well, things have been more interesting lately, even if they have been equally busy. Hmmn. I got like six notes between last night and this morning. I don't usually get that many, I wonder what they're for. I'll have to wait until I get home before I can read them. :'> It's friday! and I can't wait until I get out of school. I will immediately update the ShinXChange, and work on a trade that I'm pretty excited to get started on. Gosh, I have lots of art to do. |:

Speaking of art, I went through my giant pile of terror trash last night and threw away everything I didn't want. When chris figures it out, he'll most likely get mad at me for not putting them in the "mail-to-chris" pile instead, but they were all really lightly invisible, barely-can-be-seen sketches, I swear! Anyway, by the end of the crumpling paper, my hands were burning and there was pretty much a 3 foot pile of paper on the floor. XD I'm honestly surprised it fit in a trash bag; I had to sit on it and compact it a few times.
However, now that I've cleaned out all the retarded old art that I will never look at again, I have room to put NEW retarded art that I will never look at again (until I throw it away) yay!

In other news, I've come across lots of animals lately. |: More than usual. There was a mouse in one of my classes this week. He was so cute, a little baby mouse, about the size of a "fuzzy" that you would buy to feed a boa. The teacher and I caught him in a cup and she handed him to me to take outside and let him go. He doesn't need to be in the anatomy room where, if he gets onto the counter tops, he will see many of his kind that we keep in jars. . with alcohol. :3 So I took him outside and he didn't want to get out of the cup, so I had to dig him out. He burried his face in my hand and he wouldn't get off. He was so cute, I wanted to stick him in my pocket and keep him! But I couldn't so. . I had to just. . scoot him off my hand. I am very sad. And now I want a mouse. A little mouse. How cute. ;;

I also became educated on beetles. One time after swim practice (we played softball), I found this big green, pretty beetle! It was so bright green and shiny metalic. So I picked it up. I was like "OOOHH Beetle, SHINNYY-AAUUUUUGGHH" and threw it on the ground. D: Omg stink beetllleeee. It suuuckkked. I will never touch another bright green, metalic beetle ever again in my life. That was one of the most wretched things I've ever experienced.. .

. . .

yeah.

Today, I am wearing a TEE-SHIRT. Two days ago I wore a TEE-SHIRT, and got an infraction for "refusal to comply with dress code" I have such a bitch teacher, miss aycock. D; Arrgg.
Basically she asked me "where's your collared shirt" and I said "oh, I have one" and put it on. Only when I put it on did I realize it smelt HEAVILY of smoke. Mind you, guys, I have asthma to the point that I have to carry an inhaler around in my pocket. The smoky shirt was REALLY bothering me, so when I got short of breath, I had to take it off. I couldn't stand it anyomre. She asked me "why did you take your shirt off." I said "it smells like smoke" and she goes "okay". Next thing I know she goes "can you come here?" and hands me an infraction.
I hate you, miss aycock. Thanks for being an inconsiderate itch-bay, and refusing to even acknowledge that maybe some people really are allergic to smoke and have asthma.
So, I went to the office with my infraction and got On-Campus Suspension for the rest of the class period. Which means I got OCS for like 20 minutes and had to watch ET and then go to my next class. I feel so punisheeddd oh nooo. e_e

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:02:51 GMT

So today was officially the first day of Tornado season (in my mind) as we had our first couple of tornadoes last night. Honestly, I had my music on so loud that I didn't even know it was storming. I was talking to Ty, Chris, and Xyle so I was distracted from the weather. I was also playing a GAME! A game that I got back the other day. An amazing game that I've been playing for the last couple of days. I was near the end and I remember I overcame a cool part and went "omg I can't believe I caught that minion!" And then all the stuff goes "djooooo" and the computer turned off. devastated, I went into the living room and looked at the TV. I was in there long enough to see a giant storm cell BLACK AND PURPLE headed my way and a tornado symbol just north of us. and then the power went out. Yeah. So I went to sleep. And that was my yesterday. I don't think the power came on until early in the morning. Also, if those links up there are wrong, I'll fix them later because I only have like 30 more seconds to finish this journal. Why I'm typing the first paragraph last is beyond me.

So it seems that I fallen off the face of the earth not only on LiveJournal, but also on DA for once! Go me :E Lately I’ve just been so busy that I haven’t even uploaded pictures I finished last week. Even though I’ve finished them I. . . just haven’t uploaded them. I also know that I promised to upload sketches onto LJ but I haven’t been able to do many of those either lately. As for an update on my life, I suppose I have time enough to tell you during this long, incredibly boring class period in which we do absolutely nothing except stare at our computer monitors. I’m writing this in a word document so it looks less conspicuous; I’ll paste it into LiveJournal. I’m so witty! Aha.</p>

Maybe I’ll have enough to talk about to occupy another hour and fifteen minutes of my time until the bell rings and I can go to my next long, incredibly boring class. School is one of the things that have been taking up a lot of my time. We’re reading The Kite Runner in English which, even though reading is something that is physically hard for me to do, I’ve really been enjoying it. If you haven’t read it already (because I know it came out quit a while ago) you should do so. It’s kind of dark but it’s still a good read. I’m really behind in all the work that I have to do for English and, two days ago, the teacher added a project on top of the pile. Thanks miss Price.
Another thing that has been occupying my time is learning Mandarin Chinese~ I've always really loved the sound of Asian languages and, a long time ago, this school used to teach Japanese. It's a shame it doesn't anymore, or I would have taken it. I wasted many years of my life in Spanish class or French class but not only were the languages not interesting to me, but they were difficult to learn since I didn't care too much to remember them. Recently I was talking to a friend and asked him if Shin meant anything in Chinese. XD He said it doesn't mean anything in particular but, somehow, this lead to him teaching me the language (how did that happen again, Jaantong? XD) Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun and I kinda wish I had a Chinese keyboard so I could type to him. I suppose I'll have to stick to the handwrite tool in MSN `_` He's gone right now, but I'm learning the characters he taught me before he left so, when he gets back, I can implode his brain with my terribly written Chinese. Yay!
Yesterday, mom wrecked her car. For those of you who live around me, she was in that one area on W. Vickery around the RailHead. :c That's a bad place to get hit. I don't really remember what happened and it was her fault but. . not on purpose. Accidentally her fault, does that make any sense? She was T-Boned in the passenger side by a little illegal Mexican lady who ~~couldn't speak English~~ was driving an SUV. In other words, she was all freaked out but it only scratched the front end of her bumper while, on the other hand, totally beat in the side of mom's car and busted her windows. Which means mom's car is going to be at the dealership for a while being fixed and, in the mean time, she's driving mine. I don't want to sound as selfish and inconsiderate as I really am and I really love my mom and feel sorry for what happened to her because I know that probably hurt her already terribly smashed up spine. But I will be an ass for a moment and say that if my car smells like smoke when I get it back, I will be less than pleased because I certainly will not be a happy camper if she causes me to have asthma attacks while driving my own car. She knows my asthma is really bad and she knows that she shouldn't even be smoking around me, let alone in my car.

I just hope her car gets fixed so she can get out of mine.
I also hope her neck is okay.

Lets see, I have 25 more minutes. What can I talk about.
Well, I've been thinking about resigning as admin of BDC because I can't even keep up with my own club, let alone that one. I feel really bad because I don't think they have anyone else who is willing to run the club and I was supposed to be leader of the team who is trying to promote the club. But do you see how much I have been submiting to DA? Yeah, nothing. This is completely eating up my time. I simply can't do it anymore. That and I'm a high-school senior about to go to college. I have other things to worry about. I'll have to resign. :c I'm really upset about it.

Changes are being made to the Xchange for this very same reason. With over 100 members this last month, there is absolutely no way I can even think of submitting every single one of those pictures. While they're all beautiful, I can't give everyone the password to the account and the watermark to put on their image. Because not only do I not like people on one of my accounts, but I simply can't trust that many people. This makes me wish that DA was somewhat like LJ in the way that, if you're in a community, you can post something. I dunno. The way it will have to change is: I favourite everyone's arts and put them in the journal so you can see who did what for whom, bu the ones I'll submit will have to be either the ones who finished first or the ones that I likes the most. I can submit on a day, I'm thinking. I'll make a poll about it. I hope people will still be willing to join in the xchange even if I can't submit everyone's art.
I have also made some BLACKLIST POLICE! That way I can handle submissions and I have a Police to warn people about the deadlines and upkeep the blacklist for me. c: I think it's a cool idea, courtesy of JMonster on DA, who is currently my only police. I don't think I'd need many more unless I got a lot more participants.

I wonder how many people will have to go up for adoption this month. Do I even want to think about it? I don't think I'll think about it.
When I get home, I'll submit that commission for Jaantong I finished last Friday.
Speaking of Friday, I didn't even know that today was Friday until someone told me it was like ten minutes ago! :D Is that amazing or what! That just made my day SO MUCH BETTER.
I can't believe it's Friday!

END JOURNAL

[LJ-cut is being a bastard right now, hang tight]. A JOURNAL. ]: Gosh I really wish I would update this. No matter how many freaking times I say I'll start updating it, I always fall off the side of the Earth. Hell I haven't even updated my DA journal, and that's just scary since I used to update it sometimes more than once a day. Things have gotten so hectic, busy, and stressful around here that I even allowed my desktop to have more than six icons on it *GASP* D: I just cleaned like forty-billion icons off my desktop. There's a lot that happened that I would like to talk about, however It happened more than one day ago so I already forgot it, unfortunately. I'm on spring break! :3 My birthday was on the 14th, and I ate a carrot cake. Justin treated me to Saltgrass SteakHouse and I had a lovely meal and some cheesecake. And then we played around in the hot tub at Christina's house. We had a really good time doing flips and stuff in there. XD And breathing under water through the air jets, lol. Anyway so I had a good time, is what I'm trying to say. Other than that, I've been watching Juuni Kokki with Chris, so we're anime watching buddies now. At the same time Ive been doodling pictures of my characters since they never get drawn. Which is the main reason I'm updating this here journal. XD I just happen to ramble on forever about nothing that no one cares about. ;; I guess I could get straight to the pictures. I apologize beforehand for the quality, so make sure to put on your protective goggles. And lord bless you if you have dialup. ANYWAAAYYU So I doodled me some uh. Headshot type things. Some of these really suck. I'm going to put them all under cut so it doesn't do funky things to my journal's front page. Thankyewwww

Soooo then I drew fullbodies because these headshots weren't killing my ego enough already.

And so that's what I've been doing while I should have been doing other things. :D It took me like three days to draw all those, though I was watching Juuni Kokki while I was drawing them, so I don't feel too incredibly slow. I didn't wanna cover my characters with clothes because not only was I far too lazy but some of them have markings. That and I just really like to draw curtains on my characters. Wewt.
Anyway, maybe I'll do more of these and write a new entry later. It's time to update the DA Journal plz :E.

aaauugh esougbagjgh

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 14:58:39 GMT

So I think I had food poisoning the other day? Which is totally unusual because I have never gotten sick from food before. All I know is I ate some donuts the teacher gave us and had cramps the next period, and nausia after that. I then spent the next nine or so hours of my day violently vomiting my brains out every 20 minutes or so. Yeaah. . .

I dont feel like writing anymore. Today's assignment in film making/animating class is to think of two cheesy lines I would think of to try and get a girl to. . give me some. Gee. this is relevant.

Legion of Superheroes!

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:21:59 GMT

Gosh I love that show. I watched it all in the same day and now I wish it had more episodes. ]: I can't really remember if I've already written a journal about it though. I'm sitting here in technology bored out of my mind and it's really frustrating not being able to find anywhere to watch Legion of Superheroeeess that isn't blocked by the school! D| In any case, I did find one of the new tv-links websites that was put up after tv-links was shut down. It's not as good though, it just wishes it was tv-links.

I should download all of Legion of Superheroes and bring my external HD to school. XD bah! Joking.
Or am I? |:

Though I did occupy myself for about 45 minutes trying to find it. I guess I'll find something else to do now. I got some new icons for my LJ. . . yay.

blah blah

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:50:16 GMT

I feel so terrible for the lack of art lately. Lately, I've only sketched, like, one thing and lined a little on my Shinerai reference. I dunno why I'm not really drawing. Maybe it's an art block or something. Though I did manage to waste nine and a half hours on Sunday watching both seasons of Legion of Superheroes. No idea how I did that. And that's the first time I've marathoned a tv show like that, rather than an anime. XD I feel so dorky. Braniac5 is my favorite. . .

Anyway I'm obviously in Technology (film making) class right now wasting space because the teacher gave us something sitting on his desk and told us to make a commercial for it. We have five groups, two cameras, and 30 minutes. Joy. I have Interior Design next period. I HATE miss Aycock. It's a new level of sad when your student utterly wishes they could be put back into their calculus class to get out of an interior design class. Bah

At least this time, I remembered to bring music so I'm not dying inside. Yesterday I spent all day processing notes for the ShinXChange and Caskin and Mekolai had a good time in my chat yelling out numbers to help me match everyone up. I didn't get to send but 60 notes before DA banned me from the note system so I'll have to send the other 15 today and tell everyone from last month that they're late for the exchange.

Frustratiooonn

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 14:57:41 GMT

You know, after staring at my keyboard, which has really tiny letters on the keys, these letters here look freaking huge and awkward even though they're normal sized letters. >> Anyway so Justin is absent today and so I'm already bored. I wonder if he's ok though. We were supposed to have field testing today and they kept saying that seniors weren't supposed to come until 11:15 but yesterday they suddenly decided "ohlol wechangedourminds!". Lots of people are absent, haha. However, I'm sure Justin knew about the change so there must be some other reason, hmm.

In any case, I brought my tablet today because we never do anything but sit here in technology and waste space (I'm a good space waster, mind you, but it does get boring sometimes) and I was under the impression that, today, I could come in and occupy myself with drawing. However this account here isn't an admin account so I can't install my tablet driver and thus, can't draw! D8< Hmm now I have to think of more insidious plots. I'm typing really loud and everyone is looking at me.

So I'm pretty excited for the Shinerai exchange this month. Roll call will be opened tonight and I made some really cheap looking CSS for the ShinXChange journal though I didn't finish writing it last night. Hopefully I'll be able to do roll call early enough where I'll only need to days to gather entries. and hopefully, a gazillion people won't send me entries late, augh!

I also keep forgetting to tell the people at DA that I'm not on messengers anymore. I suddenly started hating those things without reason a week or two ago. I can't stand being on them anymore. I'm getting mad now that I can't think of what to type without it being all jumbled up so I'm going to go draw something now, hyuu.

Updae of Terror!

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:22:37 GMT

Airu told me to post more often so I'm really going to try, though warning now: my journal is a bunch of jumbled up crap because I can't really think in a straight line, sorry! So I kinda stuck my foot in my mouth when Arfy asked last time if my school has laptops. XD I kinda blew her off (love ya, beb) only to find today that, woah, we have laptops! Technology teacher is using us to set them up because students aren't good for anything but manual labour. I'm waiting for the installation CD's to be passed over here and, in the meantime, writing and entry. XD The person who had this laptop before me is amazing. windows classic theme and a dark skin on firefox. I love you, whoever you are ♥ Though, at the same time, this scares the hell out of me: to see the school spending all this money on things that the students don't deserve. These will all be broken or stolen: it's only a matter of time. I'll enjoy them while I can.

I really wish I could share some sketches or whatever things with you. I need to get into using this as a sketch blog or something so. . . I'll be interesting for once. XD I'll post again when I get home, I think.
You know, the most amazing thing about using a laptop is this little foot thing in the middle. XD That's what I call it. That little circle that I move the cursor with? Yeah, it's super amazing, no matter what any of you say. I want a laptop just so I can have one of these, screw the touchpad.

Gosh, the first time I tried to submit this journal, the internet died on me! I thought surely it was over! I copypasta'd it though. As much as I love you, LJ, for autosaving drafts, you didn't save it far enough along! XD Oooh I can't wait to get home! I've been skinning my DeviantART chat type window and it's looking quite hawt, if I do say so myself. Can't wait to use it, can't wait~ I'll have to edit it more when I get home and finish it. I hope people I owe art to aren't going to get mad at me. Lately I've been working on a reference sheet for Shinerai so I haven't gotten much done otherwise. ;; It's going to be super cool though, yes.

Actually, I think I'll make an entirely new paragraph to talk about the Shineerai reference sheet! I am so excited about this that I'll be lining it a third time just to make sure it's alright. XD So far there will be four different sheets that are set in stone. Ones after that are kinda floating around as ideas and I'll have to get to them when I can. This hilarious "Shin as your original species" thing is absolutely amazing and it's going to be very fun to customize everyone's ideas and try to make a true Shinerai version of their character, not just drawing his markings onto their design. I'm going to have a great time. This is what I've got so far:

True Sheet: Contrary to popular belief, Shin's normal form isn't a dragon but, rather, a humanoiod. So the "Tue Sheet" will be of his KyaRaian form. I don't know how all this is going to work out because I haven't sketched ideas out for the sheet yet. It'll definitely need to include a turnaround, outfits, Shin's scars, a minibio, wings and anatomies, and a couple other things I can't pull out of my ass like everything else I just added to the list right now. to be completely honest, I haven't even thought about the sheet layout yet, so I'll get to that when I work on it. XD
Given Form: This'll be the Shinerai that everyone knows and loves. his given dragon form. XD So far I have a lateral view (but I have to reline it with a fair amount of changes, face detail, and an anterior view of both. lateral and anterior view of skeleton and a lateral/anterior view of the muscles. I also have a breakdown of the muscles in the chest and back, both superficial and deep but, in actuality, I really have no idea how muscles work so if you crit me on anatomy, I'll kick you in the face >3XM forms:</b> XD This goes with the awesome "Shinerai as your Original Character!" thing which is seeming like a project now. Me and Kilara were talking about his Avian form or something and got to talking about the other races. I'm going to see if I can have Shin as a(n): Avian, Odroth, Undrais, Flytt, Amsk and maybe a Sydrin or Lars. Maybe Shin/Ty lovechiildren, Pietc and Etcpi can be on there lomfaoinsidejoke. Ok uh. . .
Other: I don't know how I'm going to organize the others but the set forms that I can remember off the top of my head (trust me, I looked through so many original species I can't even fathomm having to remember all the names) are MoonBeast, Relk, Xon, Psychoraptor, Lasarian, LoveDragon, and Silenced Lung
Alias: So, Shinerai is more of a character than he is. . . me. However my nickname is still Shin so my persona guy would be a Shin too, right? I got to just calling him Alias. I need to figure out what to do about that. Ryu calls him Shigighann so. . . anyway he's like ME. I think I'll be make a sheet for him in the Shinerai sheet series anyway. The artist! He's a loser (epitome of me) and I usually draw him wearing a swim cap and goggles with a giant fuzzy parca of terror tied around his waist. He's a gamer, likes to eat, and has the yellow pages paper mache'd to his wall. Yep.

Can you tell I'm just rambling on and on to try and take up the whole class period so I won't have to sit here boredly after I finish writing this journal? That's precisely what I'm doing. And I'm sorry you have to suffer through it! Let me think of something else to talk about to help me occupy more idle time. Oh! My ShinXchange thing really was cool. I plan to do it monthly and even made a club account on deviantART for it but not a traditional club in which you have to join; it's free for everyone at the leisure. VenomEye on DeviantART bought a year subscription for the club and I am completely taken aback! This is so amazing it's just. . . . I can't wait to get home so I can skin the journal! >> Haha. Roll call is in two days and there are still plenty of people on the blacklist. I hope they get off of it or they won't be able to participate anymore. This kind of thing sorta makes me nervous now. Like, I really hope that there is enough participation go keep the club running and make it worth Venom's money. Eek.

Anyway, so I guess I'm done talking now. Were about to put the laptops up so I have successfully wasted all of your time! xD I'll make sure and upload some of these pictures to my scrapbook on LJ so I can show you next time! Or I can just post a new entry at home, who knows.

Moro, this is to you. Sorry I didn't see you last night, dove. I was in a foul mood most of the time and, later, I ended up not even really being on the computer anyway. I did get up and I cooked dinner. It made me think of you and how much you love to cook. I was smiling the whole time. I had to go to bed at 11:00 last night but you were in my heart. c: I hope to see you today or maybe I'll call you on Thursday when dad goes back to work if I don't see you by then. I love you so much!

P.S. I need to make more userpics, lol.

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 15:22:20 GMT

Holy crap, I haven't pdated this thing in a while. Truth is, I was edting my layout one day to change the colors and make it match my DA journal when something happened and I changed it on accident to the skin I have now and when I found it wasn't editable, I got mad and left it alone. XD Anyway, I'm soooo terribly bored right now and this is one of the only websites I can get on from the school computers so I'm writing an entry. Unfortunately, after writing the long journal about me skinning a cat on DA, I don't have much to write about, sorry! All I know is that I am losing my MIND. Why?

Well, the school got all these cool new computers with flat panel monitors (coughfrom2001couhg) and so they're having to redo all the system stuff and install all the software on them. Which means I can't log into my account. Which means I cant listen to my music! D: I can't LIVE without listening to music! How am I supposed to sit at a computer andnotlistentomusic! *hypervenilate*

Okay, I'm GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. Since all my music sites are blocked by the school network and I don't listen to mainstream music, I've been listening to this 20 second clip from one of Susumu Hirasawa's songs on repeat. Woo. I'm kinda bored. I'd show you something I drew yesterday but can't get on photobucket. Woe. I told Justin to say hi but didn't. |:

Huu huu

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 15:10:50 GMT

It's been a while since I updated this thing, Lol. I need to change the layout or something too. Well the colors, I mean. Maybe I can do that after posting this entry, to further waste my time. Anyway, how are you guys? Though I know only, like, three people read this journal so whatever. I feel like today is a Monday since I ~~skipped~~ didn't go to school yesterday. It's a pretty weird feeling. . . I was pretty excited about tomorrow being Friday. Until Justin reminded me that we have a meet tomorrow. A hard one that I'm barely fast enough to qualify for. Whoop. I can't wait until Saturday. Like seriously.

iubuie Arg, internet

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 06:34:03 GMT

Internet makes me so mad. D| Why do I sit on it all the time then? I'm making a journal entry really only because DA is being retarded right now and wont accept my avatar. So how was y'all's thanksgiving? Mine was pretty good, I guess. We had our actual Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday and then went to my gramma's on Thursday. I don't like going over to her house for thanksgiving because she always has her husband's family over (who's only related to us by marriage) and so I feel really out of place. Either way, I drew Shinerai and tolerated everyone's screams at the Cowboys game. How bout' them Cowboys.

Then I came home and talked to Kilara and Moro! Yay, that made me happy. Also found that wine and orange juice tastes pretty good together. Sad that FA is down. . . Nothing else for me to write about. D| Should be doing commissions. I deleted a bunch of my LJ avatars, leaving only 6, because my subscription to LJ will run out soon and I know it'll delete them anyway. I'm doing a commission for vtforpedro and I was going to get an LJ sub in return for it, but I think Shinta needed it more so I gave it to her instead. She's trying to build up money through commissions to help her friend who is having monetary problems. Ah, well.

Anyway, see you guys later.

Har har

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 22:41:31 GMT

Well~ So I didn't do anything today. At all. Ever. In Technology I ate my pop-tarts and we discussed our new project, which is to make a film. A short film. I'm in a group with three other dudes, and none of us have any idea what we're going to do. It will probably involve murder, overthrowing of someone cool/powerful, and lulz. But we're so lazy, so Justin and I just drew (and I ate more pop-tarts) Oh, and I stole Justin's pencil, so he stabbed my repeatedly in the cuticles. ]:

Did nothing in calculus because I know everything we're doing from haven taken the course last year. I'm so cool. I did draw a uh. . thing of Nailmus though. He needed an outfit and I started out drawing a chibi of him (too lazy to do detail) but ended up doing detail anyway (it's impossible for me not to do detail, wtf) and so now he . . . just looks like a child or something. Ugh, my art style is so annoying that way.

I drew in Government too. . .

Ate at Peony!

Oh, and I fixed my English grade. Coach was harpin' on me for failing but it ended up that my teacher had marked a few of my grades to the person above me. She didn't believe me either but I happened to have all the papers she'd passed out (as if I wouldn't, my binder weighs nine pounds. Literally) and so now I'm passing, whee! I hope I'm passing my other classes. I don't even need to worry about anatomy, I'm a super-genius in that class -brick'd-

Anyway. yeah, I'm pretty boring today. Drew Nailmus some more in study hall. . went home. update my journal.. Yep, that's about

Wtf. Sunday! Avatars!

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 02:09:35 GMT

Well gee! The weekend is over already and I have done absolutely nothing but draw, eat poptarts, and drink orange juice! I feel kinda bad. See, I can't even figure out what to write an entry about.

Lets see. The most eventful thing that happened this weekend was Trillian kicked me off MSN repeatedly and then crashed and ate all my MSN screennames, so now I can't remember two of them. Now I only have four and whoever was on the other two will never see me again *cry*. Screw you sideways, Trillian, you suck.

Also, I was going to sculpt Nailmus. And then I completely failed at life and decided not to. So I made Moro's LJ look like mine (only blue) and called it a night! My lips are still chapped and I keep peeling the skin off too so they're all bloody sometimes. And eating things with jalapenos in them is a real freaking pain. But so worth it. Lasagna + green tobasco = ♥. That is all.

Whoop whoop!

Gosh, where has today gone! Yesterday was sooo boring and tiring. We left the school at noon to go to a swim meet and I didn't get home until 10:20! It was so freaking crazy. I wasn't that impressed with my times but, at the same time, I felt like an absolute price of crap so I don't really care how well I was swimming. I slept between my last two events since they were pretty far apart and felt a little better afterward.

Justin drew on my back for the meet! Two cougar paws and "WHHS"! Yay team spirit! It was awesome. :E Green, Orange, and black! Cool colors, yes. Though the moron rookies decided to draw on themselves too. They drew stars around their nipples/bellybuttons and vulgar names on their backs. Way to represent our team, you idiots. They just frustrate me so much. On the last day of school, I'll hug them with my car.

Anyway, so today will be an awesome day filled with my drawing these dragon things. I know I shouldn't have taken so many but they're so fun and. . . I don't want to draw anything else. XD! Wryyy.

I can't wait for thanksgiving! It's going to be great! That and Thanksgiving break! So I can catch up on art! Whee! Next semester I think I'm going to drop Interior Design and just stay as a student aid in my calculus class. I heard Ms. Acock (the interior design teacher) is a real Nazi and deserves the name she has. I have never met anyone who likes her. I think I'll spare myself the trouble of going through that. Anyway! I finished my animation on Thursday and NONE OF YOU WILL EVER SEE IT. AAAHAHAHAHAH!!! I already deleted everything from my computer and emptied the recycle bin <3 Nyuhuhu.

Also, wtf, Photobucket. I made an account to post my WIPs on and naively gave it my cellphone number. I've gotten tons of retarted texts about free ringtones (I dont even use ringtones!) and I don't get free text messaging! ]8< That and they have MORE advertising? I have, like, three advertisements now on my page. Stupid photobucket. If I didn't hate ImageShack so much, I'd switch over *shakefist* I deleted the account but they said it'll take 48 hours to delete (uh, why) and I still don't know if that'll delete my cell number from everyone they gave it to. Stupid stupid, website. That was pretty stupid of me to give them that information anyway. Wtf, Shin, wtf.

Anyway! Enjoy these headshots! I still have lots to do!

[EDIT] Ah, here we go. So I spent today doing absolutely nothing. :D Nothing to update on then I don't guess. I'd like to say that I really love my chatroom though. I don't have to tell people to go in there, I have tons of regulars and we talk about cheesecake and . . . lots of other interesting things. I let them make their own classes and it's interesting to see more every day. >> It's also fun to see how many people notice I demoted myself. Anyway! Here are more. There is only one more set left after this one. XD

Yays!

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 00:14:47 GMT

:D So I've been totally wasting my weekend when I have three projects I could be doing that are all due at the beginning of this coming schoolweek, woo! I printed a couple of those pictures that my watchers sent me of themselves for my English project, but my toner is totally shot so I endd up having to manually color in the black on some of them. How retarded is that. I still have, like, 20 more to print. I don't even know what I'm going to do.

Also, I should be drawing tissues for my anatomy project but I drew simple squamos and the lost motivation. Dang. We started learning the bones the other day! It's so fascinating. Though some of the people were squeamish around the skeleton because it's real. :E He's a short, Indian guy. I think it's a cute skeleton, all little and stuff. And the coolest part has to be like the radius, and so we were all flippin his hand around. XD YOSH. Anyway.

So, I watched Night at the Museum (is that what it's called?) Today because mom wanted to watch it and I happened to be in there so. . . I watched it too. :E I also watched Eragon which was. . disappointing.

Also, I changed my LJ layout today. XD I got tired of not having much control of the other so I just. . . |: Used a public one and changed the colors. I'm so awesome.

And art, finally! XD Sorry that no one's been seeing much art from me lately. But I have been doin' a couple of those 10dragons thing I'm doing. Here're five.

Hyuu

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 20:04:45 GMT

Sitting in technology again. :E I figured I'd come over here and finish my project but as soon as I came in the room, he left and I haven't seen him since. . . so . . . I'm just sitting here now. Swim meet tonight, I was pretty excited about it, thinking I was going to get to swim different events since our opponent is totally hopeless but I guess not. ]: Swimming all the same ones. 200IM, 100fly. I hate you, you stupid events. Now I just want to get it over with. Get it over with and go home to continue to ignore the people on MSN. Dx

The people in this class are losers. Hey, people in this class. You're losers.

Blah. . .

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 13:46:11 GMT

So today has already been rather retarded and I just got here. Was late waking up this morning and forgot my school ID so I hope I'm not in a predicament at any point in time today where I'm going to need my identification card ot I'll be charged $5 and automatically printed a new one. I think this is a really low way for the school to get more money. Last year, I was late at some point and told them my ID was at home, so they printed me a new one and charged me $5. e_e Which was my lunch money for that day. . . anyway

Coach's 8ball was right again, I didn't finish my technology project. I guess I'll just finish it today/tomorrow and turn it in Wednesday while I sit here and the teacher harasses me for not doing anything technology related. Aaaahh well. Justin and RR came over yesterday and we ended up just farting around and talking to P on Skype. And then at some point, they decided their house was better than mine and left. Which. . upset me. Oh well.

Also, I don't have anything to do right now. It sucks. I was in the mood to help end world hunger by donating free rice to the hungry when I get a word correct on FreeRice.com but the site is blocked due to. . . the fact that it's a Charity. So I guess Charities aren't allowed at school or something. It makes no sense to me, honestly.

Later.

Augh so tired.

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 14:17:43 GMT

So my technology teacher bribes us with brownies to do his work. :D So this time I could have used drawing these retarded frames for my animation, but he made everyone get up and organize the room. Whatever. And I was doing something before he made us get up so when we were all doing stuff and whatever, the computers all got restarted, so I had to do my daily reinstall all the drivers thing again.

That's okay, I didn't really do anything anyway. So it'd be kind of immoral of me to accept the brownie, which is like a consolation prize for having to work, when I.. . didn't do any work. ]: I MINGLED. :D

Anyway, so I totally promised art yesterday and didn't provide it. I was soooo tired. Swim practice was annoying yesterday because we were doing all this crap and we were almost done but those stupidass rookies wouldn't stop fooling around so we had to sprint down the football field, lunge back, and start over. Thank you ]8< So I'm sore. ;3; Oh and we had art club yesterday too. So we kinda just sat there and I doodled and me and my art teacher talked about Di, who only has one arm. Mhmm.

Poor Justin over there has to restart his pretty picture he was drawing since the computer ate his stuff when it shut down. Bless you're heart, Justin, we love you. Knowing him, I bet his photoshop will have the slice tool stuck on it so he'll get all pissed off again. XD;;

Oh, I'll be going to bed super early on Friday night so I can get up on Saturday morning around 5:30 (I'm sure I told you). We're going to McKinney and I don't know how far away that is. I also don't know how many events will be in the meet, but It's probably going to go by pretty fast because it's a relay meet. I AM SO EXCITED!! :D I get to swim in six relays, woo!! But I only know two of them. D; I know I'll totally get to swim a 50fly and a 100IM, but the other four will be a surprise I guess. Anyway~~ I'll draw my animation or something now. I'll color tonight.

Dear journal,

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 14:46:57 GMT

Today's been a blast so far. I think I'm sorta tired, but I should have gone to bed before 3:00am. I'm in technology right now, updating because that makes me a cool person. I'm supposed to be working on my project, but watching Justin conpletely fail at Photoshop is bringing much lulz. Anyway. ]: I don't have anything else to say. . .

You should see art from me some time tonight but probably not on the weekend because I have a swim meet where I have to get up at, like 5:30am on a SATURDAY D8<<<< Yah.

hawhaw~

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 14:40:46 GMT

I've come to find that Technology class has become the most convenient time for me to update my livejournal. XD Which is sad, it really is. Today we watched some of the videos the class did. We were supposed to shoot this video thing about, like, just about us I guess. Mine was totally dumb because I didn't ealize the camera had volume when I was shooting it, so I was sitting there narrating my thing and yelling "JUSTIN, HOW DO YOU TURN IT OFF" at the end. XD

Yeah, sorry about my inactivity on dA, those of you who read my journal and are on dA. >> I was watching this series called Fantastic Children and I like it a lot! xD I finished it yesterday, so I can go back to my normal life now~ Yeah. Swim meet today! Wont be home until late! Need to go work no my project now. |: later.

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 14:21:22 GMT

Augh I'm updating in Technology due to lack of anything else to do. So I'll sit here and rant about how I hate life so I don't actually do anything foolish. ]8< This is supposed to be some sort of Animating and Film Making class. Currently we're working on some still-frame animation. Right. Though he's all like "blah blah you're going to use Microsoft Movie Maker and you have to have dubbing/dialogue," though he doesn't actually ever tell us how to use the stupid program. He just expects you to do it. Thanks, teacher. I JOINED this class to learn how to use the facking programs.

Also, another exciting adventure. I have to reinstall my tablet driver every time I come in here because not only does the school not really even have tablets (or know what the hell they are, for that matter) but they have these super gay computers that won't let anything stay installed. They don't let you anywhere on the internet (I'm surprised I can get on LJ), and they don't let you e-mail anything or whathaveyou. So I've wanted to kick the computer off the top of the desk because it refuses to figure out what my tablet is (even though everything is installed) and Photo~~shit~~ shop. . . refuses to realize that PRESSURE EXISTS ON SOME PLANE IN THE UNIVERSE. RAWRARARAR. It tells me to reboot to finish intalling the software, but if I do, it'll DELETE the software.

*RANTRANTRANT*

And Justin is making me mad because he's all quiet-like. SMILE, JUSTIN. D8<

Yeah, I also forgot my CD with the PSD file on it for my pictures, so if I wanted to do something, I'd have to draw on a canvas of the same size and import it to my PSD later as a PDF and that's just too much of a hassle. I hate, you, school.

Lol school.

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 01:18:38 GMT

OH GOSH. ;3; Moro bought me another subscription! I love you so much, dove /___________________\ You're so caring and thoughtful~ <333

I love A-Days. I love school. 8D Art was pretty hilarious. The teacher gave us all a little square and we had to duplicate the picture onto a much larger square, cut it out, and arrange all our squares according to number. XD It took us like 45 minutes to figure out how to arrange them because we kept going backward or had to many squares in a row. We're so stupid but it was fun anyway. Uhm. And In anatomy, we built Glucose and Maltose molecules and discussed triglicerides as well as hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis. What a great class, I love that class!

Well, for lunch Justin and I were going to go to Peony, but his car wouldn't start and we didn't have jump-start cables or anyone to jump-start his car. Plus, I doubt it would start when we were done eating and then we wouldn't be able to get back to school. ]: Shame. So we walked to Jack 'n' the ~~crack~~ box which was completely packed with stupid high school chilluns.

Swimming was super hard today. . . Coach kept giving us sets that were too fast for us. We had to do this 12x200 desc. 1-4 thing and it was a real pain in the ass. I couldn't make my intervals so I just. . swam. No one could really make the intervals so we ended up pretty much just swimming a straight 2,400 yards. . . that's 72,000 feet. ]8< Yeah, and Rob jump-started Justin's car when we got back. . and that's all I've done today.

Sorry, no art! Commission time!

WEEKEND WENT BAIBAI. ]:

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 05:02:56 GMT

And I totally don't feel bad about it. I think I got a lot done this weekend~ I did some license IDs, haha. I feel low for jumping on popular bandwagons but I was in need of an ID and that just happened to be floating around at the time. XD It was fun to make too. I also did two full color pictures! D: wowie! I got tons of messages from these five postings too, it's not even funny. But it's still hilarious to see people's comments on the art. X3 I love my watchers.

In any case, the weekend is gone. ]: Tomorrow I have Art, English, Anatomy, and Swimming of course. I still have things I need to turn in for English so I'm totally failing at the moment and I REALLY hope I'm not still failing by the time our report cards come out or I won't be able to swim in the meets, the first of which is this Thursday! That'll be great n_n TIME TRIALS~ I wonder what my times are, haha o.o Do I want to know? Oh I bet they're hideous. And my art project still isn't done. I am so tired of that blasted thing.

Tomorrow I'll be's checking my mail to see if I got some monies for a gift for Rave~ And what else. Well to check my mail that means I'll have to go to the other subway that's further from the school ]: Because it's next to the post office. I used to love that subway but mang, they don't even make good sandwiches anymore. Not since they got that weed dude who's constantly high. And he takes like 20 minutes to make our sandwich. That's outrageous. ANYWAY! I am expecting something from Kilara~ in the mails~ It'll be fun.

What else. Ah, yeah. ~~And tonight I'm going to try and do my part for sketch_xchange. XD; OOP!~~ Here's what I did for dragon_swap today! See you guys tomorrow!

Finished it! 8D bed time for me~

RAWRARARAR D8

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 20:46:15 GMT

Why is my printer flashing the exclamation point at me! Nothing is wrong with you, fool! Dx How frustrating!

Sorry, I've been too busy to post as of late! Dude, guys it's so awesome. Like, my watch stopped working not too long ago (RIP: Watch. but that's not the awesome part) I set it to 5:00 because that's my favorite time, but I kept looking at my watch and honestly thinking it was five-o-clock. So I took it off and when we practiced outside under the sun. . . I got a sunburn. Around my wrist. So I have, like, a red line/sunburn. . . on my wrist. I am so cool now. |: Because my poor wrist hasn't been exposed to light in years. XDD Anyway, figured I'd tell you that.

Art is sorta on hold right now, because I have a lot of projects to do. ]: Like I have one for government, one for anatomy, one for art, and one for technology. Though I can't figure out what Jonathan Edwards did for the government. It boggles my mind. Anyway, so I have to like put crap on hold right now. Freaking A'.

Anyway, uh. I ate at iHop today!! <333 It's been SO LONG since I ate breakfast. I had a great time. I ate some pancakes, hash browns, eggs, bacon, sausage, coffee, and more pancakes! Like pumpkin pancakes. They were great. I eat pancakes with my hands, wooo~ And I put this empty creamer container on my head after emptying it into my coffee. It was like a fez, OSSU! XD And then I had. . . this creamer run down my scalp and down my face. . . it was kinda ew. . .

And then we went to RR's new apartment! Cute room and it's really nice and clean. D: I'm so jealous. Nice desk too. Mhmm. And she put makeup on Justin and took pictures. XDDD what else. . . yeah and we just goofed around. ANDSHEGAVEMEAPENCILOMFG. And some sketchbooks she made!! ;3; But no way will I use them for my art class. D: I think Yami was gunna mail me a sketchbook!! I'm excited! x3 I wanna use that one for art class. And Izzy is going to mail me a ahm. . white gel pen! c: The last one got lost in the mail. ]: Hopefully Frankie will get her mail here too. She was gunna send me ahm. . SOME BANANA MILK 8D And a white gel pen as well!! I'm so excited. I don't see her on as much anymore. . . I miss her.

ANYWAY. Ahm. Oh and I'm sculpting Shinerai, sorta. . . My art teacher makes me draw bigger than I want to. ;3; woe~

He looks sorta dopey.

Augh whatever.

Toriegatd@yahoo.com — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 05:23:31 GMT

Gosh, I dunno. this weekend was super busy. Sorry for not, like, updating any sooner. On Friday, Christina visited from college, so Justin and I went to dinner and a movie with her. Though there weren't many movies on, I wanted to see something but she wanted to see Superbad. So we watched Superbad. It was disgusting. So, about 15 minutes into the movie, we left to go watch Balls of Fury. Which was slightly less retarded. Uhm. And Justin had to spend the night because some gang was in his neighborhood and his mom told him not to come home.

On Saturday, I went and got my hair cut. And. . . what else did I do. Oh, Justin, RR, and I went out to eat. And got snowcones. And just. . . sat around. And they left at the same time. ]: Sadness.

Today I wasted my life on this commission here, that I've been working for three days to finish and posted it because the commissioner didn't tell me not to, and I feel like I upset her or something. I didn't know what to do because she wrote saying that, like, she didn't know what to do with it? I put it in storage because. . . I was confused. ;3; I said in the description you can commission me for people but I won't enjoy it, so now she thinks I didn't like drawing him for her, which prompted her to make me gift art? As like a consolation, I guess when that's not at all what I meant! I just get really nervous when drawing humans for other people because I feel like I can never draw them right but I somehow managed to inadvertently upset her. Augh what do I do. ]:

Nevermind.
