Dec. 3:

Wow... It's December already. It's FREEZING. I've started working on the outline for the MattxMello sketch, but it's not going so great... so it'll take some time. Plus I have homework.. .and my head hurts. o.0

I. Am. Sleepy. And I'm debating whether or not to drop the Honors Language Arts class. It's absolutely killing me. But I have such a big ego that I don't want to drop it... even though I might get booted anyways 'cause I have borderline B/C grade. I mean, come on. WTF is SO great about Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and all these other "romatic" writers? For all I care, Moby Dick can go screw himself. e.e

Anyways... will be working on the M&M sketch, and ShinigamiGtc's Serven contest entry Oh, if anyone has a myspace, I just one one... so my myspace is:

myspace.com/shirakouri

Reminder to self: Watch the new Bleach and Naruto Shippuden episodes... and check if Claymore's off hiatus yet. e.e


Nov. 28/29:

Hey look! I figured out how to use the language bar!

これはかっこいだね。この言葉バールが大好きだよ！嬉！えっと。。。呼んで出来るか？

Yeah... and it's 1 am now, so I'm going to sleep. o.0 By the way, I started a myspace... screenname is "白氷". Yep... Ok, night...


Nov. 26:

Ok.. I lied... well, not really. But I just got loaded up with homework this week... and I think I'm gonna die. Again. At least I think the printer's gonna get fixed today... then I can finish my homework faster. That M&M sketch and ShinigamiGtc's contest entry will probably have to wait until this next weekend. Sorry guys.


Nov. 25:

*Edit: Finished the book... and it's 7:00 pm. Dead tired... and still have homework.

At 4:00 pm, I'm at 350 pages..... and I still have my APUSH homework. My brain hurts majorly. o.0 Printer is still flipping out, and my dad's friend's gonna fix it on Monday. I may/may not be able to get the prints at school, so... hopefully I'll be starting the sketch later this week. I feel so lame... o.0 I need to draw something, yet I don't have the time... Life sucks. School gives too much homework nowadays. I'm all pessimistic right now. e.e

... I'm going to go eat some fried rice.
