let me know if you think i forgot to add you.

Will be edited in the future!

i would kill to be able to go to this.
COACHELLA
dude. remind me why i have to study for AP's, again? this would be such a better way to spend my time.

then again i have a piano competition that weekend. but fffff i really love some of the bands that are playing.
- morrissey (oh my god. i would totally wear my the smiths shirt. SEEING HIM WOULD BE MINDBLOWING, GUYS)
- paolo nutini (he is really cute, shut up. and his music is ~comforting~)
- franz ferdinand (ulysses was my new favorite song a while back. haha i think thats an oxymoron)
- tv on the radio
- fleet foxes (so i haven't been able to get mykonos out of my head. ever)
- los campesinos

( SORRY I'M A LOSER )



i'm writing my research paper (its on lbj's foreign policy. blah), highlighting and not really processing information in my ap gov book, and putting off catching up on supernatural episodes because pauline ruined it for me. i am having such a proactive spring break, whoo.

PS. i got a bright blue bandana today! i've always wanted one and i've looked around everywhere, but there weren't any stores that were selling them. i am very pleased, now :)

been listening to a lot of:
         santogold
         vampire weekend
         animal collective
         iron & wine
         regina spektor
         lupe fiasco
lately.

my entries get lamer and lamer, oops.

- watched the antique bakery movie. i can't remember any of the character's names, but i can remember that i vehemently disliked the gay pastry chef with the glasses. he just really really annoyed me, for some reason. i think the cutest pairing from that whole four-way mess of UST would be the owner guy and his bodyguard. *g* domestic breakfast-eating, yayayay

- i get these weird spasms of intense pain every time i check teacherease. i have such asian standards when it comes to grades, but i don't have the asian willpower to work for them. bawww

- haven't been on tegaki for around 2 weeks now! (that's a lie, to be honest. i've drawn smth, posted, and then deleted 2 seconds later. ...but that doesn't count.)

- i am really getting into the merlin fandom, since everyone and their mothers seem to love it. at first the ridiculous CG'd monsters made me go 'what really' a lot, but once you get past all that, the homo gay is everywhere and its fantastic. also, the fandom is surprisingly extensive. also, colin morgan's accent makes me flail as much as it makes me cringe, simply because it sounds exactly like billy boyd's, which brings me back to the days of lord of the rings and my awkward 5th-grader-self.

- that said, i want a merlin icon. photoshop is open but i'm too lazy to get screencaps/get my tablet so that i can make cool color blobs and odd paisley designs to pass as texturing (see: luridly pink spektor icon), since i am now dependent on it and my touchpad can no longer measure up to my expectations. oh well


i will shut up now and go back to doing my parametric equations. bye!

lol you guys, click: this is painful

how was that allowed to come into print, i don't even know.

so this article...

Boy Killed Anally When Office Chair Explodes


i wonder if its true. i take great pleasure in reading all the comments that say something like 'i'm sitting on a wooden barstool from now on!'

anyways. aside from that, i'm reading the count of monte cristo now. its so, so good. sadly i lost my neon green batman bookmark and i'm too lazy to make a new one so i'm being a bad person and dog-earing my pages. :x

hi guys! here's a tegaki dump, because i just copy everything lili does. 8|



okay there's a lot more but i'm not gonna put previews of everything because i'm too lazy

( LOTS OF IMAGES )


OKAY. FINISHED.

SORRY THIS POST IS SO HUMONGOUS.

Dear friends,

So today, I took the hetalia community off my flist and 3/4's of the entries disappeared, no joke. I am checking it for the first time in two months, so expect some random obnoxiously late commenting!

Anyways, this is my potential junior year schedule:

Humanities III Eng AP
Humanitites III US History AP
Calculus AB AP (what the fuck am i doing with this class. someone punch me for this.)
Chemistry AP
Euro History AP
Span IV Hon (ffff so boring)
Art III Hon

Ughhh. On the bright side, at least I'm not taking Physics AP! I hate everything related to math/logic/THINKINGbawwwhhaww so yeah, I don't know why I'm attempting calculus.

I also want to take Art III AP (and I'm pretty confident they'll let me in) but I just don't have room for it, since the requirement is to take it as a double credit (2 class slots), and my mom thinks that's a waste of space. Also apparently colleges like seeing 'continuity' with Spanish so I can't kick that out, even though I think its extremely boring. ):

Yeah, shut up. .............I'm such a little nerd, oh god. WHATEVZ, YOU GUYS, YOU CAN LAUGH AT ME NEXT YEAR WHEN I'M KICKING MYSELF FOR TAKING THIS SCHEDULE. At least I'm sticking to Art honors, or else I'd have a 100% AP schedule (yeah wtf. and shut up art is not an easy AP, you have to do this whole portfolio series shiz that is apparently very time-consuming).


I had a 5-day weekend this week yesssssss. ilu snow ;A:

GOOD NIGHT!

Okay, first off, THE OBLIGATORY NOTE OF APOLOGY: GUYS. GUYSSSSS. :( I'm sorry about being so MIA! I will make an effort to update more (lies "OTL). You guys are so ace, thank you for not completely defriending me. ;A; ♥

I've recently gotten into Tegaki (completely Lili's fault), and I'm mostly active there and I use it as a stress-relief/daily blog sort of thing (aka I vomit colors a lot and then press post), so if you really want you should go make one and be gay with me we can catch up! ♥


......okay what is this shit. sorry for the lame-ass entry. :|
(PS: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF KILLERS NEW ALBUM?)

so have you guys heard about the handley case? basically, its about a guy who was arrested for possessing manga that government officials believe to be obscene.

i agree with neil gaiman and basically everything he says about it here. i mean, really.

it pisses me off, because he's exactly right--in order for people to continue being able to read what they want to read, they'll have to accept other things that they may view as distasteful and want banned, since they cannot simply pick out specific things to be blacklisted and decree that everything else is a-okay. how could someone even begin to think that he/she can decide for everyone what is art and what is simply too obscene to be legal?

i'm not claiming to be knowledgable or worldly or anything of the sort, because i know i'm definitely not. i'm just saying, come on. ueskfjhkfsjhs it almost feels like it should be common sense, but apparently its not. it feels trite to say things like 'remember the first amendment, freedom of speech, etc etc etc!', but isn't that what it really comes down to, since the man being charged is a US resident? oh geez :|

perhaps you have all already heard about this and i'm just reiterating a point, but just wanted to get the word out. feel free to disagree.

ueskfjehkjfhs the tegakie server is down ): ): ): and i was even gonna try using it for the first time since i don't have photoshop on my new laptop until i remembered that it isnt working! ):


anywayssssss hetalia is REALLY AMAZING. i don't think i have a favorite nation since its a four-way tie between lithuania, poland, england and switzerland. and apparently a lot of people like russia but i think he's just a really big creep, and not in a good way. ...aaand probably because he's really mean to poland and lithuania uefsehkufhdsks no one is allowed to separate them ever, okay.

p.s. are they any good active communities for hetalia besides the main comm? 

p.p.s. ummm where are some good places to look for good hetalia icons? 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ashkt AND peridium !


hope you guys had a good one~

oh, and i'm reading another palahniuk novel, its survivor this time. it's good, and i am super-curious about all these little tips and tricks he mentions in the book. i don't think its as good as lullaby or fight club though, since it seems he's just constantly driving in the whole existentialism thing every other sentence. but still, i am in awe: his writing is amazing, or at least i think so.

Sarah -- I found out what the Prada Infusion cologne smells like and NOW I REALLY LIKE IT, TOO. It smells SO GOOD, no lie. I would be all over any guy that wears it, akjfdksd.

- I watched Donnie Darko, the Director's Cut. I thought it was a really brilliant movie. Someone flail about it with me!
- Finished this painting of purple mountains after working on it FOREVER (aka two months).
- Took the PSAT's, it was pretty hilarious because the practice test they gave us to take was a million times easier than the real thing. My writing score promises to be abysmal.
- Wonderland is this really unique fashion magazine that I found a few months back. I love how they use text, and I especially love love LOVE the photography and the finished effects of all the photoshoots.
- Finished reading Watchmen and Lord of the Flies. Both were definitely amazing. Now I'm reading Catcher in the Rye.
- I got my Girl Scout cookies 2 days ago, and they're seriously ALL GONE NOW. Ahahaha. :|

And sorry flist, about not being around LJ much! I feel like I apologize in every entry, but these days I'm seriously not feeling up to checking my flist, ever. I haven't been keeping up with anything fandom-related either because of school, real life, and all the rest of that boring crap. But seriously, though, I promise one day I will catch up!

Mish

I always feel kind of :\ about posting all my complaints/rants/etc., because I feel like its not exactly interesting, and also because there are people, even on my flist, that have far worse shit to deal with. Anyways, I always like to think that its better to be optimistic and keep looking ahead. ♥ (.....lol and wow, that's kind of hypocritical coming from me.)



And now here are some pictures that I took this weekend with my Canon!

( lets dance to joy division )

There are actually a lot more pictures that I took just randomly experimenting, but I didn't feel like adjusting the colors to those. Also, I have a shitload of pictures from the Renaissance Festival, but those I took using the Auto setting, since I didn't want to miss something just because I had to fiddle with my camera settings first.

Hopefully I'll get more chances to practice!




Also, I was going to do that 30-question meme where you write people's usernames without writing out the questions, but being the moron I am, I accidentally deleted the message that ashkt  sent me with all the questions. :X

So what do you guys think of the new Bloc Party album? I like about half of the songs, and I don't really care for the rest. I especially ♥ Biko, idk why. Every time I hear it (its currently on repeat!), I think of him singing a lullaby to his daughter about how brave he thinks she is and how he wants to take her sickness away and it just askfjaskakjsd MAKES ME WANT TO CRY ;_________;

weekend to-do list!
→ Gov - pg. 158-172, notes
→ Precalc - pg. 28-29: #1-28 odd, #33-54 odd, worksheet: all
→ Chem - element clock
→ Span - Journal entry
→ Art - Profile sketch (20 min), due 9/3
→ Read more of Watchmen
→ Birthday present for Pauline
→ Exchange jacket (H&M makes ridiculous sizes. My arms don't fit into a size 2. :/)
→ Make Paolo icons~ 8D

tbc!

I kind of go like :/ whenever I see Laurie appear in the art, because she's drawn really realistically (broad shoulders, thick arms, etc.). There's nothing wrong with it, exactly, but I guess I'm just not used to women being proportionately drawn? ..............aka too much manga in my formative years ahahahaha |D

My piano teacher left me with a optimistic tidbit as I was leaving from my lesson last week: "No matter how hard you feel this year is, just think about how hard junior year will be next year!"

Here's the cover art for vorpalblades ' AMAZING fic, Late Night Double Feature, written for spn_j2_bigbang . I'll link to her story once its posted, and I'm basically reccing everyone to read it, because its amazing and adorable and FAKJSHD go read it!






Since her fic was set in a movie cinema setting, I thought doing a movie poster was appropriate. The text at the bottom is very dorky, I know. :') And so I reiterate: if you read J2, you should definitely go read her fic! Also, look around the bigbang comm, because there's already a lot of amazing stories posted. ;)

virgin moblie festival!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^Should I go? General admission tickets are $97, which I think is outrageously expensive for concert tickets, but I am generally a pretty cheap person. But there are some people playing that I really want to see. For exampleeee:
           Bloc Party (♥♥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
           Kanye West
           Lupe Fiasco
           Andrew Bird
           Jack Johnson
And I admit, I would pay 97 dollars JUST to see Bloc Party, lmao. But then there are also some other people playing that I sort of know? Like Bob Dylan and Paramore and Duffy. ...........Soooooo I'm kind of torn about it, since I really hate spending that much money on something that I don't know would be worth it. I could buy my tablet with 97 dollars!

Also, Death Cab for Cutie is playing tonight in at Merriweather! Some people are going, and my friend is going to buy me a shirt since I couldn't go (aka I'm studying for my math final nnnngsiuhfd) :'(

You Are Jeff by Richard Siken
His writing is so amazing. I want to be able to write like that, asf askdjh asdk dd; j


Can you guys link me some of your favorite books/poems/authors/artists?
My life is not very exciting. I have a bruise on my wrist.
