That would be a quote from The Labyrinth, if you didn't know. If you haven't seen it, that's a shame. Ah well, on to other things... Let's see, this is supposed to be an update on the going-ons in the life of me. So, let's begin!
1) Sakuracon!
I am 96% sure I am going to Sakuracon this year! WUU! This percentage will not change until March 13th, when it will change either to 100%, or to -100%. If I DO get to go to the con, I will be dressed as Tenten, probably for all three days. And, I will be with a rather large group of people, becuase 90% of the people I know are going to be there. XD Speaking of which... who are you? o.o
2) My Birthday!
My birthday is coming up, and as of April 17th, I will be 19. And, I DEMAND PARTYING!!! That is my birthday wish, that everyone party and have fun, and take pictures and send them to me. lol. I LOVE pictures. Almost as much as I love hugs, haha.
3) Other!
Yeeeaaa... I dunno what else to put here. XD Not much else happening in my life. I went and saw Watchmen at the theatre, it was good. No, it wasn't, it ROCKED, but that is besides the point. I got my mother a birthday present worth around $50, but only paid $5 for it (got to love fairs!), I went to the fair... (duh). I LOVE THE TILT-A-WHIRL!!! @_@
Alright then! Well, it may be short, but that would be the end of mah blog today! Yep, that's all folks. Okay, youcan stop reading now. Seriously. STOP. GO AWAY!!!

Alrighty! There's your 25 random facts about me. That actually made my entry look al ot longer than it is... >.< Next, I will put the actual update of my life so far. Yea, that's right, I made ya work for it! BWAHAHAHA!
Well, I am alive and well in California. Been here for a week and two days so far. The weather is cooler than I thought it would be, but I like it. Definately warmer than where I used to live, which I hear tell got a couple inches of snow, haha. My grandmother has taken me out go to go the movies three times already, to see Bedtime Stories, Inkheart, and Underworld. We are going again to go see Push and Taken. The people that work there know my face now, haha.
One downside so far, I have no access to a scanner to put up my new art, or to email people their comissions. I am having issues with this. I have a shop on Gaia, and like 8 orders to fill, and no way to get it to them. ><
On the brighter less complicated side, I got a new haircut, and I'm lovin it. Got around 5-6 inches taken off, lots of layers, got it straightened too. And soon, I will be getting what the lady that did my hair called Peekaboos, which are bold highlights hidden under the hair, so that they are only seen when I am moving. I don't know what color to get though. My hair is a medium brown, so... I dunno. Suggestions anyone?
On Saturday, I am going on a motorcycle run. Should be fun. Then Sunday I am gong to a bar with some friends to watch the superbowl. Now, I'm not big on football, or sports in general, but I got invited, and the half time show is always fun. Oh, and on February 3rd, I am going to become a member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the Unied States. Look it up sometime.
I have also become a member of americawillbe.org and fightwithtools.org. I very much encourage all of you to take a look and join yourselves. It is about making america what it should be through making yourself. I very much agree with just about all of it. This is a cause started by Flobots, a band that believes in making America a better place. Flobots made the song Handlebars, Rise, and Stand Up, along with many others. Very encouraging and insightful songs, with sobering videos. Check them out.
In April, grandma and I are moving into a house, rather than this apartment. It will give us more room, and the dog will get a yard to run around in rather than an alley. We will move in April 1st. And that is not an april fools, we really are, haha.
My birthday is also in April, the 17th. I plan to try my best to go back home in Oregon for my birthday to celebrate it with everyone, but we will see how that turns out.
Well, I have to go do some stuff. Have fun everyone!

So, I guess it is about time I update the Blog again, seeing as how I haven't posted since October. So, here goes. And, to spice things up, I will do it with a seven deadly sins twist. But be warned, it might be something you dont want to know. lol
Currents:
Lust: Well, I only see him on the weekends. And he hasn't a clue.
Envy: I envy... those with jobs and cars right now, and a couple of my friends for their confidence.
Wrath: I am REALLY having issues with authority right now.
Gluttony: I got a twelve pack of soda for myself and won't share, and I won't share my cookies that we made with my siblings.
Sloth: I have been making the siblings do the dishes for me, cuz I dont like doing them.
Pride: I am proud that my last assignment from the Art Instruction Schools got me a B+.
Greed: I WANT A JOB. And a car. BUT A JOB. And more books. And I want actual FOOD in my house. And I want, well, I want that guy I have been wanting. But that also goes under lust, haha.
Anyways, cant find another way to make stuff SDS related, so... I am worried, becuase I WAY over spent for Christmas this year, I went $125 over my budget. I am having issues dealing with the fact that it is snowing outside. Dont get me wrong, I love snow, but I have things I have to do, and the snow is stopping me. Also, I have a guilty canscience right now, because of somehting I did last night and didnt tell one certain parental about. In fact, I lied about it, and it is nagging at me, because I havent lied to her since, well, since the last time that I did and things really blew up and I thought I was dying. ><
But other than that, I am also having issues that half of the shops in Seaside are closing, and they are all the ones I like to go to. What the heck is up with that? They all said it was because the landlord doubled the lease, and no one could afford it. DAMN AUTHORITY!!!!! Not to mention, I actually may not be able to go to Sakuracon, seeing as I overspent on Xmas shopping, and they dont accept Mastercard anyways. FRICK.
Again, other than that, it's almost CHRISTMAS!!! Woo! I have things to hang out with, people to do, and places to get to, and I am excited about that! And, I am already planning my birthday for next year. It has to be BIG, because my 18th birthday was the worst day of my entire life, no joke, and it was my own fault. So, this year I am going to make up for it. Perhaps a week at the coast with a few select friends? *grin grin*
I'll have to get back to yall on that. Anyways, gotta go, ebil step-phahdder kills the net at 10 PM every night, and I have some more stuff to do. TTFN

So, Currently I am running in a phase of Rave. Yes. The kind of music with the UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE beat, and the crazy lazer lights and strobe lights and black lights, and the awesome hair and outfits! I am in that phase. I'll be walking somewhere, like in a store, and just randomly find myself break out with the UNCE UNCE UNCE. What would I give to go raving again! Now, mind you, this is not the bad kind of rave, where everyone are crackheads, and they are doped up on ecstasy pills. No. This is the awesome fun kind, where all there is is loud music and dancing bodies and GLOW IN THE DARK STICKS. @.@ I'm thinking that as soon as I get my apartment, I am going to have a Moved In Rave Party, and put up all my lights and set up my stereo and just have EVERYONE come over and Rave with me! Heck YES! I can see it already in my head! Good thing I put all my lights in one box. I knew they would come in handy one day!
Also, I am SO going to like, everystore the day after Halloween, because all Halloween items will be marked over 50% off! Now is a great time to start shopping for next year!
Finally, I must say that I got to go to the Corn Maze, it was fun, we also went to the pumpkin patch there and then went to the Field Of Screams, which is another cornmaze done at night where people are all dressed out to jump out and scare you right out of your pants. The group I went with, I must say, there was some part somewhere where each of us got scared at one point. But, heh, there was this guy in a hockey mask with a chainsaw chasing people whent he fog machine went off, and we followed him and scared the crap outta him, it was great. He didnt realize we were walking behind him. GAHAHAHAHAAH!!!
Well, must go, I am getting more Rave gear tonight. Tata!

Some days simply are. They simply, just plain exist. And then, other days are just so much more than that. They might go on forever, or they might rush by and seem like a dream. Or a nightmare. Some days just knock you right off your feet, other days you feel like soaring above the clouds. However you look at it, there are many different types of somedays.
No matter which type, though, there is always something you can take from the day. Good or bad, happy or sad, there is always something. The choice is yours whether or not you take it. Sometimes we knowingly take it, others, we do it subconsciously. But when we don't take it, what happens?
Those days slip from our mind, from our memory, fade away into a blurry nothingness that, when added together, take up so much space in us that our days become sluggish, and we no longer cherish those things that once meant so much. A sunset is just the end to another day. A soaring eagle is just a bird. Everything is just another thing, rather than being Something. These days that we take nothing from, these are Just Days.
So, my dear Legioners, I leave you with this thought:
What day is today?

I feel sick, like make the world stop spinning sick. I keep having dizzy spells, and my stomach seems to be rebelling against me. And, to top that all off, my nose is rebelling too. It is leaking, and then stuffing up whenever I lay down. Which is lot right now, feeling as sick as I am. I hope I don't pass this along to anyone else, that would just be rude. *taked some sudafed*
I finished Breaking Dawn earlier this week, it was fabuous. Not what I thought it was going to be, there is some morbid details in some parts, but I liked it overall. It summed up the story, and everyone (including Jacob) gets their happy ending. Yay. And she left it open to add more books, if she feels like it. Which is great. I look forward to Midnight Sun, which is the first book told from Edward's point of view. Stephenie has not set a due date for that one, but I am sure it will be out shortly. Now I am most looking forward to the movie. Ms. Meyer worked closely with the director and the actors and everyone, so the movie should be quite close to the book, for once. And any changes made are at least apporved by Stephenie.
Stress is knocking me off my feet, what with my cousin getting a job and working new hours so I have to babysit new hours. And through the weekends. I need to find someone that she trusts that can watch the kid for me for her so I can go to Kumoricon and Pacwar. I've already paid non-refundable money for the con, and I been looking forward to Pacwar for two years now, I am NOT missing it again.
Well, I think I will go lay down, and let this Sudafed kick in. See yall on the flip side!
Peace Be~~DH

OMG, I got my book. YES!!! I got it at 12:48 AM friday night. Yea, it took me 20 minutes waiting in line, but I finally got the damn thing. And yes, i was 18 minutes late for the midnight release, but that is because i went to the movies before hand, thinking the movie would end before midnight, and then I could walk over to the mall that was in the next parking lot to get my book. But NO, the movie started at 10:20 and didn't end until AFTER midnight, because it just had to be 2 HOURS LONG. >.<
AARRRRGGGGHHHHH!
But, I have my book. So nobody will be hurt. Now, if they had run out of books before I got mine, I would have sued someone. Seriously, because I preordered mine like 2 months before.
The est part about getting my book at the midnight release party? I gotta discount. HECK YES. I only had to pay 13 bucks for a book with the value of 24 bucks. 11 bucks saved people. SCORE!
*munches cheetos*
Anyways. Not really any updates since last time. Oh, except that I finally am being sent my check for work. yay. I have no clue when I will get it, because they still have to process my hours and figure out all the math and send it to all the departments for scrutiny before they send it in the mail, which might have taken a single buisness day, but they are cheap so I hve to wait 5-7 buisness days for it, after all the processing. >.< *breathe*
And, lately I have been really into Classic Rock, and big hits from the 80s. Dunno why. Maybe I'm getting interference from the aliens living in my head. Who knew they liked older songs? *grin*
Well, must dash, Breaking Dawn demands to be read further. I swear, if it wasn't for my dad, I wouldn't even stop reading to eat, let alone pee. >.<

Well. I feel... bleh. Not happy, like normal. I dunno what it is, but there is just soething wrong in the world today, and it is affecting me. I feel somewhere between Mellow and Depressed. It is a strange feeling, and I don't like it. I should be getting excited for my book coming out, for Kumoricon coming soon, but I feel like there is no reason to be excited. I think I am broken. Someone broke me. And, I think, it might have been me. But that story is not one for a blog.
I feel like my life is not black and white, but there is a lot of grey. I need some color in my life. And, I almost feel like tere is no one to give me that color, those hues I crave so much that lay just out of my grasp. My eyes, the windows to my soul, yearn for color. I see all these hues people have, all these fantastical events and things in their lives, and then I look at my life, and see an emptiness. A void, a nothingness, waiting to be filled with something amazing. How long that void must wait, I don't know.
I am controlling myself well. I know that if I let go now, I will break down. And that won't fix anything, won't help me feel any better. So I am holding myself in check, grasping my reality with both hands, a death grip. I won't let go. I can't. At least, not alone. I can't let myself break down alone. There is one person, and one only, that can help me. That can keep me from going under, can pull me back out. And until I can see that one person, can have their arms hold me above the torrent, I have to hold on, have to control myself. I have no choice. That person is unable to come see me. To come help me. The only person I can rely on now is myself. I have had to be strong for so many people before. Now, the hard part. I have to be strong for myself.
Don't worry about me, don't feel sorrow or pity for me. Be strong for yourself, prove it can be done. I will hold my head above the torrent. I will prevail, as I have once before. Just this time, I do it alone.......
This time.........
I am my own hero.

So this one is early by a day or two. Geeze, I just can't keep a schedule, can I? Aw well, keeps the suspense going!!
Ysterday, I got to the point that I was SO bored, I ended up throwing things at my cousin. It was kinda fun. I started with bags of marshmellows. When I ran out of those, I threw fruit snacks, then I opened up a box of ding-dongs and started throwing those. (I was standing int he kitchen, if yall couldnt guess). She dodged a good amount, but I have mad ninja skills, and hit her quite a bit. But i think my skills are starting to rub off on her, because most of what she threw back at me actually came close to hitting me.It was all good fun, until her 8 month old son woke up, and we had to stop. Dont want to teach him to do that, now do we?
I hate myspace. It is a dumb place, full of drama. And yet.... I cant get enough of it. Does that make me psycho? I mean, it is the only place I really can keep up with all my friends at once. They never answer their phones anymore. But myspace, oh, they update like every ten minutes with their mood and what they are doing, heck one of my wierder friends posts bulletins when she has to urinate. Ugh. But she cant be bothered to go pick up her phone in the living room when she is sitting in her bedroom. What a pain! Ah well. Myspace may be a foul place, but it has less-than-foul attributes.
The college search continues. I thought I had it made when I was going to go to Art Institue, they even accepted my application, and wanted me to go. But, it is just too expensive. I mean, $480 for one credit, a total of $77,000 for a BA. That is more than my life is worth people. I called them and let them know I wouldn't be attending because lets face it, I just dont have those kind of resources to get that kind of money. Now they wont stop calling. They really want me to go. Which makes it hard for me, because I even took a tour of the school and talked with some of the teachers, and fell in love with the place. It is amazing. It is heaven for an art nerd like me. Ah well. I am going to have to go to a community college to get a degree. Dammit. Now, if only the damn airforce would STOP calling me. I dont even pick up my phone if it is not someone I know anymore. I dont care what kind of scores I got on that stupid test the state made everyone take, I am NOT interested in joining the air force, or the marines, or the navy, or the army, or ANY armed forces. Quit freaking calling me!
Well, I must dash, I hear a little sibling getting into trouble. Good thing I have a roll of duct tape waiting. >:D

Late blog, yet again. But oh well, its not like anyone actually reads it! Not like it matters. Anyway. Apparently, the DHS office never got the forms I sent in almost a month ago, so I do not get my check for work until I re-do the forms and re-send them. Lovely. And the 1-800 number they gave me to check up on the stuff says I need a voucher number, which they never gave me. What the heck?
And Sunday, my friend drove for an hour after work on his motorcycle to come see me. We were going to hang out at the fair, but everything shut down like 30 minutes before he got there. So we were going to hang out down by the river, but my aunt was back from shopping about five minutes after we got there (I ended up burning my leg when I got on the back of his bike. I got on on the wrong side. Baka baka baka!!) and was going to take me back to my cousins house. So, we all improvised and he and I ended up hanging out at my aunts house until 12:30, when he finally decided he should probably go home. Mind you, my aunt and uncle went to bed around 9. We have a water/ice cube fight (of which I failed miserably and ended up soaked), watched the discovery channel (a special on mummies and ancient Egyptian mythology), and playing 2 player Bubble Trouble (miniclip.com) on my aunt's laptop. It was fun. Hope to hang out with him again soon.
It turns out my godson has learned to whine. It's kind of cute, but it can get kinda annoying. He can walk with help, but sometime he forgets to move his feet. And, thank goodness, he can fall down from small heights and not have to cry and be picked up. Now he has learned that it does not always hurt to fall down. He also, now, when he wakes up before you, contents himself with his hands and feet until you wake up. But if he sees your eyes open, he automatically demands to be fed. Ah, well, such is the way. Whatever.
Well, I really must go now, I have to get up early in the morning so I can get to my cousin's house to babysit once again tomorrow.
Peace be! ~~ DH
