raise the SKY HIGHER

I'm really starting to like these funky, uncapped/capped titles. They make you think, ya know?

The massive craziness of my life has been beyond anything I've had to go through before. I'll just say the bad stuff first, cause if I say it last, it'll make me feel crappy all over again. Anyway, this is why I haven't been online lately:

For one, my comp (a 3-4 year-old Dell Inspiron) died about a week-and-a-half ago, so I've been using my dad's computer till I get a new one. So those of you who've commented here, on dA, on FF, et cetera, please excuse my absence! Plus, for the icing on the cake, everything I've been working on - my drawings, my stories, all my pics, my songs, my stuff in general - is gone. Completely and totally GONE. Guess what that means? Starting over. From scratch. Just imagine how happy I am about that.

The upside is that I get a new computer; with my own money, of course, but mom said she'll pay part of it cause the dell was crap to begin with. I'm looking at the Dell studio's, but we'll see how it goes.

And secondly, my sister got admitted to the hospital sunday night for acute appendicitis (did I spell that right?). Apparently, she had ruptered her appendix sometime last week, but since none of us have ever had it before, we had no clue what it was. All of us thought it was just the flu. Show's you how smart me and my family are. She had surgery, and she's doing alright now, but it's still really scary to think about. You try to put on a mature face and be as oblivious as you can about the situation, but when a close family member is in the hospital, it makes you think: we are so frail. Our bodies just aren't made for extended living conditions. No one wants to believe that, but it's what makes us human, unfortunately.

I knew I was human sunday night when I saw that tube going up my sis' nose. Those things are so gross looking! Ugh!

Meh, and getting past my melodramatic state, we're on to a few happy things that happened this week.

Soul Eater got a new opening (which is totally awesome, btw. I adored the first one, but this one feel's much more akin to Soul Eater's theme), the first volume of Ouran dub came out (can't wait to get that!), and a guy at work gave me his number even though he's only known me three days. I think that's a new record for me. I don't think I'm going to call him though...not that he's not bad-looking or anything! But what am I supposed to say to a guy I barely see and barely talk to? Honestly, before giving a gal your number, think things through! Besides, there's another guy I'm more interested in anyway... :3

Also, the second season of Code Geass just started here in the states. The first ep is online at adultswim.com (i've already seen it, but for whoever wants to know), and I was extremely excited about it. And interesting tidbit: one of the main characters, Li Xingke, is played by David Vincent - who just happens to be the actor that voiced Grimmjow for the recent Bleach Wii game. Cool, right? Well I thought so.

One good thing about not having a comp right now is I'm not constantly online watching anime, reading manga, and all that extra jazz. It's giving me way more time to finish sketches, do mock-ups of most of my OC's, finish a few games collecting dust in my room, and play Kingdom Hearts again because I haven't played it in a while. ^^

See? It's not as bad as some people, but there's been a lot on my platter lately. I'm trying to keep it all balanced, but it's pretty difficult. Come christmas, I'm gonna be working more often, so that'll be a lot of fun...

Well, I've blabbed enough for one week.
