Has it seriously been that long since I last updated? GAH...

Yeah so... um...

.....HI ALL! How've you been? I've been absent. Been doing a lot of things in the past... Oh, what's it been now... 8 months? *headdesk* Um, yeah, anyway...

Art wise, I've kind of slowed down. It's not that I don't have any inspiration (in fact, I just got a huge boost of it through going back to old fandoms of mine), it's just that I can't find the time to sit and just draw. There's always something taking up my attention. If it's not trying to figure out what to eat for meals, it's something interesting on TV. If it's not TV it's WoW. If it's not WoW, it's comic books or one of the many many books I need to read. And the list goes on and on... But it's not all bad!

I've gotten farther than I ever thought I would on WoW. I consider it an accomplishment! My druid hit 80 and has been running all manner of instances and raids since. It has gotten a bit... boring I guess, but I'm still proud of where I've taken her. Taking down 10 and 25-man Naxx on the first run with hardly any wipes is a big deal for me! XD; And I'm proud of us! So here's to my guildies! *megoomba - Ilunae, ~direndria - Wilrhain, *disneypunk10 - Inkyna, and *Issa-chan - Larri! You guys are the super awesome best! Our teamwork has brought us far~ GRATS!

I mentioned in my recent deviation that I've been reading a lot of X-Men lately. And... OMG. I never NEVER fell out of love with those characters. Not that I could! Just, UGH! Nightcrawler is so awesome amazing! *squirms* But yeah... Starting from issue one back in 1963 really gives you a perspective on how the characters have developed. ESPECIALLY Magneto. Just... WOW. He's such a sympathetic villain these days, but boy... Back then he was an UBER megalomaniac. One of those "OBEY ME OR DIE" type villains. His favorite thing to say was "I AM POWER". CRAAAZY. I guess he remained that way for a long time, though. Just when I got really into the X-Men scene he was already on the mend. And OH the first two issues were TERRIBLE. Professor X was a slavedriver and Scott Summers was Slim Summers and Hank McCoy was a complete bonehead and WOW were they creeps around Jean Grey, then known as Marvel Girl. And what the gracious was up with that random thought that Professor X had about being in LOVE with Jean? WHAAAAT??! So random... It was only even hinted at ONCE. Probably because the fans shot down that potential romance right then and there. XD So funny. And reading the letters sections is just hilarious! One fan in an issue from, like, 1965 or something said that the X-Men should get rid of Jean because having a female in the group threw off the team dynamic because everyone would always be worrying about keeping her safe. And I just laughed because there are so many strong females in the X-Men now a days who can totally stand their own. Just funny~ But yeah. Joe Mad and Jim Lee = best artists for X-Men EVER. Props to Joe Mad for helping usher in the manga age, too. XD

Durrr... What else... Season 4 of Supernatural was awesome, though a bit strange at times. Their dealing with angels was a bit touch and go for me at times... XD; But it was all good and Larissa TOTALLY called the ending. Season 5 looks like it's going to be... Well... odd. I'll watch it because I'm hooked after that cliff-hanger of an ending and Bobby is my prime-time hero. 8D I'm sure the Supernatural team can pull it off. ^^

Watching Heroes season 3 now. I missed most of it when it was on TV, but that's quite all right. I prefer marathoning TV shows over waiting for an episode week after week. So far, I've seen all the episodes, but it's pretty good. Not season 1 good, but still good. XD

9 was pretty good, too! And that's all I'm gonna say about that... Until ~direndria has a chance to see it anyway! XD

WOW and I realize that all I talk about here has to do with media I like. I hope that's okay! My life is so lame and is often governed by my hobbies. So that's what I talk about here.... Sorry!

Personally... I just got over some kind of weird allergic reaction to something. I couldn't use my hands for a few days, which was awful, but I'm all better now. Still wearing gloves because my skin is cracked and shedding off me like a snake, but once all the dead skin is gone, I should be right as rain. Annnnnd... My little brothers are awesome, but are growing up way too fast. I found out that despite the number of times we tipped over, I really REALLY enjoy canoeing with my family and would probably do it again in a heartbeat! Doing outdoorsy stuff is fun when I'm hanging with them. XD Gotta plan another trip back to Old World Wisconsin since we cut our last one short. Meeting my parents' old High School buddies is both awesome and surreal. Mountain Dew Gamer Fuel is way addicting, especially the Horde stuff (though my brother would argue otherwise). Ummm... Jinx T-shirts are awesome... I'm still sunburned... I need to clean this apartment... Our cat is adorable... Urrr... OKAY, that's all I've got! I'm tired! I'm going to bed!

See you later!

Happy Birthday !

I can't tell you how much you've meant to me over these 22 years. You've seen me at my best and at my worst and still you're always there. I can't imagine my life without you! Thank you for always being there, thank you for always encouraging me, thank you for never judging me, thank you for all the smiles, laughter and fun. People ask me what it's like to be a twin and I honestly don't know any different so I'm never sure how to reply. One time someone else offered an answer for me and I fully agree. Being a twin means never having to be alone. I have survived so much thanks to you. I love you SO much, Larissa! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And here's to another 60 years at least! LOVE YOU! <333

So what's been happening with me... GOOD QUESTION. Well, lets see... Christmas is coming up and I'm very behind on my Christmas shopping. Issa and I got ourselves a new laptop. WoW is still addictive (my Death Knight is up to level 67~ 8D *is the only one celebrating). We finally got our XBox set up with XBox Live, but we still need a router for it (and those are so darned expensive...). And yeah! So much non-interesting stuff!

Life has been filled with it's ups and downs lately, but I'd say there's been mostly ups. I love my little brothers like WOAH. They're so much fun to hang out with and the only people other than my sister who ask to watch anime with me~ XD Is it weird of me to think that that's so super awesome? I miss watching anime with people~ We watched Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu with them recently and I was crying I was laughing so hard. We quote the episodes all the time now... *is a dork* It's just fun watching anime with other people~

I'm still super into the D&D campaign is running. A lot of the things I've been sketching have been in relation to that. Like I keep saying, I really should just throw stuff up into my scraps or something. I have so much art that I just haven't posted anywhere... BUT YEAH~ YAY DOODLES~ 8D

SO YEAH! As always I have nothing new or interesting to report. How are all of you? I hope your enjoying the holiday season!

In case I don't see you again until then, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Yule, and have a great time with friends and family!

So that's all I have to say. Expect for this little tidbit...

Hurr hurr, I like not updating my journal for months~ *fails*

So, yeah! I'm so so so tired right now... I'm like... Hanging by a thread. So please excuse whatever nonsense my brain decides I should write... I don't mean anything by it. I'm just half awake. And I figure that what with my mind in such an unstable state, it would be a good time to be coherent and write a journal. HA! Thanks, brain. You WIN.

Anywaaaaaaayyyy... Geek.kon! What about Geek.kon... It wasn't as good as it was last year, but I still had a lot fun. I GOTS ME A HIGE HAT FROM ! 8DD It's so super cute~ I couldn't pass it up. She's awesome. GO GIVE 'ER LOVE.

Ha ha... I'm trying to do some questing in WoW while my mind is in this weird state... Not the best idea. I can't focus!

YEAH! Also, I've decided to get together with mah girlies (*Issa-chan, *direndria, *megoomba, *disneypunk10, and *messa, to be exact) and cosplay for ACen '09. GOOD TIMES. I'mma be two people! 8D We're going as Bleach characters and Ouran characters. WOOT. I've laid claim to Il Forte from Bleach and Hikaru Hitachiin from Ouran (guess who Larry's gonna be~). MOST EXCITING. I'm psyched~ <33

Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... Brain fart of epic proportions... SEE ID BELOW. That's me right now... >.>;;;;; Gahasdhfkhtehadj. I need to sleep... ;.;.;

BUT FIRST...
