[UPDATED NOVEMBER 12, 2009] - As of June 14th, 2007, this journal is SEMI FRIENDS-ONLY. Some entries are locked, and some are not. I have not deleted any of those on my friends list, but for anyone who is interested, you can always leave me a comment. If we've never crossed path before, it would be nice if you could leave an introductory comment to this entry. Otherwise I'd be wondering why I'm friended in the first place. 

If you're friending me because of art, you can find my stuff at the following websites aside from my DeviantArt:

  

#NOTE: Posts containing art, event reports and stuff are mostly locked.
I AM BOTH A FAN & AN ANTI -FAN

I may not leave comments much, but that doesn't mean I don't read your LJ entries. I sometimes get cold feet when attempting to leave comments, erasing the comments I've written and closing the comment box after pondering for a bit longer whether or not to respond.

If you're friending me because of fandoms, here's a quick list (which means not all) of my ships of choice, those I can't stand, and my OTPs. You'll be seeing a lot of them in my entries, so be prepared.

( Fandoms, OTPs and whatnot... )

BYE BYE EXAM! BYE BYE!!! I'm so tempted to say 'bye bye Auckland' too, but there's two more weeks left. Uggghh. Seriously, I don't effing know what I wrote in the exams but I really couldn't care less anymore. Just please don't fail don't fail don't fail don't fail!!! *___* I'm pretty sure I don't have enough money to come back to Auckland for summer school, and I'm sure the government won't bother funding me.

The next month is going to be my full-time fandom month ♥ Drawing practice is GO~

I had tears in my eyes because I'm a dame fangirl who lives online and in the realm of fandom. Lame, I know. So I wanted to write a real entry but this lines by Gokudera in Chapter 266 makes me want to cry in happiness:

「オレは今でも１０代目の右腕になることが目標ですし生きてる証です…ですがたくさんの戦いをご一緒して１０代目の求めている右腕がオレが考えていた　ただ強くて命知らずじゃないってやっとわかったんです…」
「もうオレの目指す右腕は昔とは違います　オレの目指すボンゴレⅩ世の右腕は…ボスと共に笑い　そのために生き抜く男です」

EDIT: The loooong translation:
Until now, my goal to become Juudaime's right-hand-man has been the proof of my existence... but throughout those many fights Juudaime and I went through, I've been thinking. I finally understood why being strong and reckless alone is not enough.

My goal of becoming your right-hand man is now different from before. My goal as the Tenth Vongola right hand man.. is to laugh together with the boss. For that, I strive to survive.

OMAIGOD. WHY SO TOUCHING!!!!!!! Gokudera, you idiot, why are you doing this to me ;____;
/CRIES HAPPILY

Although Tornado Flame Arrow is a lame, lame name.....

Can I bother everyone who sees this for a little while? This poll is originally from my website, but I'd love to know what my f-list's choice would be too :3 I've taken the liberty to translate the poll and share with everybody here as well. So far, there are 58 votes, with humour/crack leading. You could change that, or keep it so ♥ Thank you in advance for your time :D If you have already voted before, feel free to ignore this~

Q.Which of the following genre should I do more? Humour/Crack Angst/Bittersweet Romantic Comedy Parody Others/Whichever is fine~ - view result -

#: Tsuna Day will be celebrated on 7th February next year (not sure if they're sticking to 2nd July as well or not, but we'll see). We're going to have various anthologies dedicated for Tsuna released in a number of events. I'm not sure which I should be doing more, so I'll be looking forward to your votes ♥ 

Riiight. I'm going back to my poster now. Just a little bit more!


With the lineart, I mean. Ha. Ha. Ha.

I went over 4k words for that undercover fic and am NOT proud of it. It turned out kind of sweet though. I'm 100% sure my identity is easily exposed once people have a look at my profile page at cland3sti3 or butterish. Hahaha, I'm so uncreative. I feel bad for my beta for being pinched at the last moment. Ugh. I'm so so sorry for procrastinating!!! *sobs*

Speaking of procrastinating, I'm also procrastinating at... revising for the finals. I keep telling myself 'tomorrow', but I'll just keep saying 'tomorrow' when the day comes. I seriously see no way to escape this eternal pit of procastination. The only thing it does is give me unexpectedly good marks in some assignments, probably because of all the adrenaline rush. Lol.

Aaaand I'm still procrastinating at my print poster. The deadline is two days before finals and I'm supposed to submit my draft first. Oh, please please please give me the strength to do it tomorrow. Or on Monday. Yes, Monday sounds good. So instead of doing the poster, I went back to my original webcomic series, Parapsychic that I've neglected for months. At least I didn't forget about it like I did CitS. Haha. The random manga page below took almost two hours of my life - two hours that I spent lazily staring at my laptop screen like I have no life whatsoever (well, I don't):

Lalala... Need to start toning properly now or I'd kill myself before next year's event. *sobs*

I'm going to Parnell Festival of Roses (info) tomorrow at Parnell Rose Gardens. Being the cheapskate that I am, I decided to walk down The Strand (not up Parnell Rise), by foot. It's only around 1.5km from my place, so it shouldn't exhaust me so much. I'm sure it wouldn't be as bad as walking up to Hobson Street from Britomart through Queen Street.

Oh, and by the way:
