Quotes

Tyler Oh so Katie can go to a party & blow off the family reunion, but I can't play World of Warcraft?
Dad (sarcastically intended) That's right, because parties come before raids.
Me Oh snap!
*if you understood the thickly laid wow terminology in this joke, seek professional help

--------------------------
From Babylon 5, season four:

(Ambassador Mollari arguing ridiculously with Captain Sheridan)

Mollari: When I said my quarters were cold, I did not mean:
'Oh, I think it's a little chilly in here, perhaps I'll throw a blanket on the bed.'
No, I said it was COLD, as in:
'Oh, my left arm has snapped off like an icicle and shattered on the floor'!
This is highly inappropriate, Captain!

So now my soul soars through the passionate fires of creativity...

haha a Poetic Death

seems to fit a poor malnourished college student, doesn't it? ahoy

i just don't have much appetite for food anymore. 

 

For the last two weeks I’ve been completely distracted, so many ideas, visual sequences, & such running through my head for illustrations, comics, & writings.  I’ve been jotting down poems and typing out short stories late at night instead of finishing my schoolwork.  There’s no use, I’m passing & that’s all I care about right now. 

 

I’m scrounging the internet for every art & writing contest known to man & angel. smile

That’s all that matters right now…

-finishing Accounts of the Fallen & its prequel: A Gentleman’s Son heart

-illustrating & working on film/graphic novel sequences for everything in mah head. O___o

 

My style is improving so much ^^  *merry irish jig of joy*

 

So here’s a tenative schedule for next semester (REJOICE!) XD XD

I have four art classes, one English literature, & two music classes!  Oh that’s right!

THIS is what it is to live…no math or science in sight, this completely rocks!! dance

 

ART 231  Intermediate Design & Color Theory

ART 233  Figure Drawing

ART 242  Watercolor

ENG 210  Western Classics I

ENS 101  Orchestra

ENS 151  Chamber Ensemble

FA 201  Music & Art Appreciation

 

I'm in bliss.

 

ergo proxy  

 

Oh! Has anyone heard of Ergo Proxy?  It's a new anime coming out that is supposedly a different take on Huxley's A Brave New World.  And it's also predicted to be one of the best animes out this November...dark, gripping, & utopian.  A great soundtrack as far as I've delved into.  *claps impressed*  & the art seems extraordinary. 

 

 Check this one out.  Seriously fellas.  cool

Cheers all!  [drop me a note to how you are all doing, I miss you guys.]

Wading Through Filth...

yuki <-- hehe, now who could this be? ^^

 

Gah, so much to deal with right now. X . x 

 

One rather important thing being my major. 

 

Well...in all my science classes I've endured enough to realize I am not meant for the white lab coat.  I truly don't belong in biochemistry.  It's not that I couldn't do it well enough...it's that I'm not exactly bent on being locked away somewhere remote in a research facility for the rest of my life.  

I'm one of those uber sci-fi obsessed individuals who thought they could actually pull off creativity in the lab as well as write about it in science fiction.  Ha.  I'm quite content to write extensively about sci-fi instead.  That I'll never give up. ^^

 

There's just so much crap to wade through in science: creativity is snuffed out by scientific methodology & idiotic cynical paticularities of the fellow scientists themselves before anything at all can happen.  Grr.  *growl*  -.-

 

Sitting in on Mellor's intro to drawing class has reminded me of how much I do belong in the arts.  Everyone's been so kind to me, letting me slip in under Mellor's wings, & actually enjoy life.  And all the little encounters with fellow artists and writers around me make the calling rather clear.  Not to mention I'm drawing all the time all over my chemistry, biology, & other notebooks at every "spare" moment.  And if I'm not doodling, I sure as heck am doing photography or writing on my stories instead of all that science homework. ;)

 

The parents don't know yet.  My mom will be alarmed, but ok after a little bit.  My dad will kill me.  But it's my life, I'm tired of pretending I can do this.  I'm feeling called down another path...whether there is room for sympathy or not. :)  I'm going to finally set myself free to fly. 

 

So, God willing:

 

Major: Art...in illustration or photography with a lot of painting & comic/manga work thrown in

Minor: Creative Writing...need experiment & continue improving for my sci-fi, fantasy, & other novels

 

shigure <-- me without science

 

Thanks fellas.  *steps down off box*  Just had to get that off my chest.  O______o

 

You guys rock!

20 Things...

Yep, here it is.  Decipher what you will. 

I leave you with these & a quote from my dear beloved Akabane:

   akabane sketches (love um)

"Feel free to interpret it any way you like..." ~Dr. Jackal  :d

1. Hats off to you love.  I adore your vivacious wit & wish I had half the spunk you do.

2. *throws you a J.Sparrow look*  "It would never have worked between us, darling."  Though the chemistry was there, I wasn't becoming lesbian anytime soon.  If I turned though, you'd be the only one for me.

3. Every moment I spent with you, my soul was free.  You pushed me over the edge.  Thank God.

4. I constantly pushed you away, but you were always there for me despite my lack of appreciation.  How can you ever forgive me...please realize how much you mean to me.  I'll murder anyone who hurts you.

5. I was terrified of your affection, silly me.  The truth is I'm afraid what kind of passionate feelings would seep from my heart if these barriers were ripped away. You are still my dearest sweet Lucciola.

6. You found me under an umbrella of stories in the dripping darkness & didn't mind sitting there with me throughout the years, despite everything.  I owe you my sanity, my happiness, & certainly my unwavering devotion. You have all of it...that and a delicious fudge brownie. :d

7. You are so incredible.  It's you who will change the world & be completely humble, bewildered at the world's acknowledgement of your genius.  You are my dearest companion.  The one who I would die for.

8. I'm falling in love with you, despite all efforts to keep it from happening.  You are breathtaking.  I want to share all the little moments of my life with you.  But that cannot be.  Even so, you are my soulmate.

9. Shhhweetie! You are such a gentleman, yet quite the experimentalist. ;)  Alright, I can't hold it in: Your grin is so dorky...but I love you any way.  I'm yours.

10. You may not realize, but you ARE a stalker.  I remain your friend, but please leave me in emotionally in peace.  Move on & get a life.

11. You might have thought the previous comment was meant for you...haha, it's not.  :D  You display stalker traits, but you're my Sirius.  We'll always be tight.  You have the most beautiful eyes, I can't even begin to describe how they make me feel.

12. Oh goddess!  Hehe, your bitter cynicism has always made me roll over with joy & stop breathing.  You are terrifyingly gorgeous.  Those dark eyes flash brimstone & fire or cascade black rose petals. And you are so intelligent!

13. Take me to France, darling.  We hit it off with sparks & flame.  Your an incredible actress, never let anyone tell you different.  I can't even begin to count how many parts you should have had over the years.

14. So sweet you are!  (hehe, yes: a little dyslexia or yoda there, i can't tell which either)...but my goodness you let me feel like I belong here.  I've always been jealous of the inward joy you always carry.  Angel incarnate.

15. You're hilarious.  So unexpectedly cruel in wit & intense in care for your friends.  I wish I had your sociability.  Then I wouldn't just think of my bettas as the first ones to have a conversation with -____-

16. The true, unalterable artist in every way.  You're an experimentalist, don't be afraid to embrace that to the fullest.  This whole 'need a decently paying job' to live is bull. God will get you through it all with what you love. :) Thanks for not loving pi.  And thanks for tempting me to change my major, I just might budge. ^^

17. You fascinate me.  I want to explore every piece of your artistic & on-the-fringe character.  You're very dear indeed to me & your intelligent quietness was always such a deep retreat from the chatter of the world.  Thank you.

18. My companion through doom!  Johnny Depp is still reserved for you, my dear...that French actress, bah!  I've never been so teary over a goodbye to a friend (even though only temporary ^^).  I cried because I'd miss you so.  I didn't do that for most of my closest friends.  But you mean so much to me.  And you never do shut up... :D *patpat*

19. There's nothing wrong with you.  There never has been. You taught me how dear it is to never grow up.  And we will never grow up.  Where we are together, it will always be never never land.  Better watch out, you're spreading pixie dust...

20. I've always envied your beauty & spunk.  Your artistic photographer's eye could catch moments I always missed.  And yes, I've always been jealous of this as well.  And for goodness sake's, you've gone to Japan!  How I hate you.  -.-  (No, heavens!  Of course not, my dear.)  I love you beyond compare.  You & I could laugh at anything...hehe, & yes...Roy is all yours. :p

scraps

Hehe, ok...so I can't shut up.  XD

Well...anticipating two mangas next month:

a midnight operatrinity blood

And my Trinity Blood dvd came...& blew me away. 

The only thing that annoyed me was that little girl's laugh in episode 2

...lumpy gravy biscuits, it was jarring. o.- *cringes at the memory* 

But everything else was drool worthy.  ^^

**note: Oh yes, I'm undertaking & posting the "20 things I wish I could say to people" thingy.  It'll be posted.  Sometime.  One day.
