You'd think that after staying the night at Kevin's and participating at the State Championships, I'd be sound asleep by now, right? Wrong! I've been up for almost 23 hours now lol. Phew, that was some STRONG cappuciuno I had for lunch! O_O

Aww dangit, I forgot dinner last night, too. AGGGGHHHH, no wonder I'm freaking STARVING right now!

But, I win the phone conversation award! Get ready for this one, Dustin, because it's about to be IN YO FACE!! 11:30pm - 5:45am! Over 6 FREAKING HOURS! Ohmygod, from 1:30am onward, it was completely straight-through. Holy horses, that is gonna be one LOOOOOONG call on 'da phone bill! ;D

Now, I'm half-tempted to stay awake, but I REALLY WANT TO SLEEP RIGHT NOW AAAAAGHHHHH!!!

Good nigh' - errrrr - morning! ;D

Today marketh a day most sad. Fazoli's is gone. Fazoli's was a KICKIN' AWESOME italian fast-food place with cheap prices. And now it's gone... My life is officially ruined.

On the bright-side, this post was super-short. Yeah, I could have came up with a 5000-word wall of text, but I'm beginning to realize that 29 words can be equally as effective at getting my point across, plus it tookm me, like, 3 minutes to write, haha.

R.I.P. Fazoli's

Just a few minutes ago, I was downstairs, saying my goodnights to Dustin, and something in the corner of my eye catches my attention. I didn't see what it was as I looked to the window. I figured it was just something. But then, about a minute and a half later, I see this medium-sized shadow (about 3-4 inches in diameter) fly by me. It resembled a bat's shadow, but when we looked all around, we couldn't find anything at all. I have a terrible fear of bats, so of course this frightened me. Pops seemed to think that it was the upstairs ceiling fan. I know what I saw, and there's no way it could have been that.

Did I see a bat, although it's waaaay out of bat season? Was it some sort of paranormal entity, seeing as no one else saw it and nothing was to be found? Or am I just going crazy?

Thank Chansey for bed veils.

It's officially 4:00 in the morning. Right now. No joke.

I'm working on getting the silly Marriland Pets thing up on 'da Forumz... Because I don't want to work on Christmas Eve. Although, I guess now it is kind of Christmas Eve, isn't it?

Oh well, I'm wired. I have tons of caffeine flowing through my system from some M&Ms and a big ol' mug of caffeinated coffee that I had earlier in the night.

I'll edit this post right before I go to bed, posting the time that I finish. I said that I wouldn't sleep until I either finished Marriland Pets or passed out, and so far I'm sticking true to that promise.

Yeah... Zzzzzzz...

EDIT: It's 6:06am now, and I am FINALLY going to bed! I haven't pulled an all-nighter in so long. Zzzzzz... (I consider 6:00am being the all-nighter mark.)

EDIT 2: I didn't want to go to sleep, so I stayed up until 7:50am, when I finally turned in for about... an hour and thirty minutes. I woke up at 9:30am, haha...

Ever since I joined deviantART on Saturday, I've been obsessed with it. Obsessed in the good way, though. It's spurred me on to drawing, and drawing quite well, actually. I already have, like, 12 deviations (only 3 are recent ones, though).

Anyway, I was inspired to draw something during today's RP. I wanted to draw a Moogle. I already had a really cute facial pose in my mind, so I figured I'd work with that. My mechanical pencil was magic as I proceeded to draw the best Moogle I have ever drawn (probably the best drawing in general, too!).

By the time the RP was over, my drawing was complete. Then, before dinner, I copied it and inked it. Now came the tough decision: do I CG it with Photoshop or do I color it with colored pencils? I've only done one [good] drawing with colored pencils, but it turned out pretty nice, although it was scary as heck drawing with them. After some contemplation, I decided to try and color the drawing with colored pencils. After a considerable amount of coloring, shading, and highlighting, I finally finished it, and I would say it turned out pretty nice, but really I'll let you be the judge.



It's a Moogle White Mage! With a sword and Black Magic! ^o^ After drawing that, I fell in love with myself. :o~ Plus I conquered drawing the dang hands. I would have finished another lovely picture by now if it weren't for stupid hands. I CANNOT DRAW HANDS, ARGH!! It's shoes are also pretty, uhhh, Devinish (really dumb-looking boots), but oh well. Moogles have tiny feet anyway. Other than that, I am like so super-impressed, wow! O_O

So yeah, I'm now like really inspired to do more drawing. Unfortunately, that means I'm also inclined for more procrastinating, but oh well, that's part of it, right? :D

That's all. Nothing else exciting, except I started riding the exorcism bike again today.

I never color things with colored pencils. Never. Until last night, that is, when I was feeling very experimental, and wanted to conquer my fear of colored pencils. So I printed out a copy of that drawing that I scanned, and then used the colored pencils on it, and I'd say it turned out pretty nice!

Believe me, though, it looks so much better on paper than it does on the computer. Scanners have a tendancy to kill colored pencils...

Thank you again, mirageatoli, for the pencils!

Random Quote Thingy:
Just look at the entry below. I posted enough Random Quotes to get through the whole dang year, OKAY?!

The subject is kind of oxymoronic if you ask me. Oh well.

This post has been broken up into several segments to make everything easier to read and respond to.

1.

Just so indigo_twilight hears my side of it...

Last Saturday, we had subs from Subway, alright? Well anyway, we stopped there to pick up the subs, and that's when I saw something amazing. Wow, this UNBELIEVABLY HOT lady on the register. Well, not literally on the register, but you know what I mean. So yeah, she looked like 18 or 19. Unbelievably hot! Then, her co-worker or something came out and she was also very hot! Whoaaaa...! Too bad we all had to wait inside the car while 'mum got subs. And ninja_pchan, I SAW YOU LOOKIN'! YOU CAN'T DENY IT!

2.

I did some sketches tonight. I was bored, and decided that I wanted to draw. Sketches of what? Just of some Pokemon from cards, nothing major. I'll show y'all anyway, though.

I thought I was going to say so much more... But I guess I was wrong. Oh well, we all make miscalculations.

SUPER SURPRISE!

Instead of doing just 1 Random Quote Thingy, I'm going to do 12 Random Quote Thingies! While I was at TIY today, I wrote down various funny things people said throughout the day, knowing that I could give them a good home here.

Anyway, here they are!!

Lawful-Good 74% Good, 34% Chaotic

I'm starting a longer version of this test, and I would REALLY appreciate some suggestions for questions from members of all alignments. Please email me with a suggestion, along with the alignment you scored on this test. THANK YOU!! I will make it a seperate test and will include tendencies, kinda like the "Long Scientific Personality Test vs. the Quick and Dirty Personality test. Plane of Existence: Mount Celestia, "The Seven Heavens". Description: Countless paladins and saints have ascended here. Notable Inhabitants: Angels and Devas. Examples of Lawful-Goods (Ethically Lawful, Morally Good) Superman The Tick ("Lawful Stupid") Abraham Lincoln Sherlock Holmes Phileas Fogg Captain Picard A person with a lawful good attitude believes in the use of authority and rule of law to bring good to the greatest number of people. Her/His actions support the status quo and s/he uses systems and organizations to achieve good goals. S/He will keep his/her word and value truth. S/He will avoid the use of poison and use violence only when authorized to do so or in self defense. S/He may or may not be disciplined, organized, emotionally restrained, caring, compassionate, and peaceful, but s/he believes that these are admirable qualities. Respects law and order and is willing to suffer limitations on individual freedom for the benefit of the group. Puts moral principles before material considerations. The lawful good person will be a very faithful member of a group, but if the laws of the group clash with the ethics dictated by his or her moral alignment, the lawful good person will probably leave that group and look for a group more closely aligned with his or her ethics. The lawful good person is an active advocate of his or her beliefs. Lawful Good "Crusader" A lawful good [person] upholds society and its laws, believing that these laws are created to work for the good and prosperity of all. He is both honest and benevolent. He will work within the established system to change it for the better, and strives to bring order to goodness that other good-aligned [people] might pool their resources to better the world. A lawful good [person] combines a commitment to oppose evil with discipline. Most lawful good [people] live by a strict code of honor, or by the rules of conduct set down by their deity. They will generally selflessly act by these codes even at the cost of their own life. Lawful good combines honor and compassion for the innocent. A knight/paladin who always follows the orders of his superiors is an example of a lawful good [person]. Other Alignments and Tendencies (Tendenices are what you would more often sway towards; esp. for Neutrals): 0-39% Good, 0-39% Chaotic: Lawful-Evil 0-39% Good, 40-60% Chaotic: Neutral-Evil 0-39% Good, 61-100% Chaotic: Chaotic-Evil 40-60% Good, 0-39% Chaotic: Lawful-Neutral 40-60% Good, 40-60% Chaotic: True Neutral 40-60% Good, 61-100% Chaotic: Chaotic-Neutral 61-100% Good, 40-60% Chaotic: Neutral-Good 61-100% Good, 61-100% Chaotic: Chaotic-Good

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 79% on Good You scored higher than 12% on Chaotic

OH MY GOD!

FFVII: Advent Children was SO FREAKING AWESOME!

I'm too excited to go into it right now. Let's just say that I've watched it three times since Saturday night, and I was so wired Saturday night that I could barely sleep!

Thank you thank you THANK YOU mirageatoli! What do I owe you now? After everything you've done for me, geez...!! I swear I'll repay you somehow!

Other than that, I've been working on Marripets (tenative name) for the Marriland Forums. Reprogramming a pet system is interesting. I'm not going to spill any details now, sorry.
