A friend of mine send me this article about how UCSD (University of California, San Diego)  propose closures to some of the UCs, including the one I'm studying at, UCR: http://www.mercedsunstar.com/167/story/942002.html

-_- I don't think school closures is the solution to the budget problem. Also, I think the UCSD professors think too high of their school. Hopefully the people in charge of the whole UC system or whatever won't go with that plan.

Long overdue meme from shadowbankotsu. He gave me Vampire Knight, Lucky Star, and Death Note.

( Fandom meme )

And one last thing. I'm now the judge of the Heart and Soul One Shot Contest. So far many people say they'll participate. O.o


...Bring in the Johto Nerdgasm. :P

Seriously, what's up with people thinking blue hair is awesome? O.o

Also, agreed with BeachBoy's comment that half the reason people are complaining about the new girl cause she got no skin showing. :P

Well, NE is finally done and over with. :)

Man, I remember when I actually started NE I quit on it because it was getting to be too much like Da Vinci. However, after playing Diamond, I gained some inspiration in trying NE a second time, this time with a different direction in the plot and new characters. I had a lot of fun writing it and even more fun reading the reviews.

Did a more longer farewell speech on the thread, so I'll just stop here. :P

Something interesting, though:

You Are a Question Mark

You seek knowledge and insight in every form possible. You love learning. And while you know a lot, you don't act like a know it all. You're open to learning you're wrong. You ask a lot of questions, collect a lot of data, and always dig deep to find out more. You're naturally curious and inquisitive. You jump to ask a question when the opportunity arises. Your friends see you as interesting, insightful, and thought provoking. (But they're not always up for the intense inquisitions that you love!) You excel in: Higher education You get along best with: The Comma

I guess that explains why I'm into writing NE in the first place. XD

Meme stolen from saffire_persian. Can't pass this one. :)

Meme stolen from saffire_persian. I'll say this: a couple of the sentences are from the last chapters of Nothing, Everything (no spoilers, though ;) ). The others, though, I won't say. :P Quite a few are from one shots I hadn't posted yet, though.

Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!

1. The climax of the dream was of the demon nine tailed fox, but in cloak form, and after the fox roared, he leapt up, claws ready and teeth clenching—ready for the kill.

2. He was cradling it like as if it was his own child.

3. Instead of the little girl smiling and anticipating that event to come, the young lady frowned, already experienced it.

4.More people got drowned, more buildings got destroyed, more shards of rain fell on the ground, more screams.

5. Eventually they’ll stop getting badges and both Duku and Destiny will battle against each other until one dies, and the other one will be all emo.

6. The chief still bit his lip and not answering a question yet.

So glad that Patty ( burnt_flower) is all right. I remember when the Virgina Tech shootings came, my university really made a big deal out of it. News of big shootings scare the heck out of me sometimes.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but I kinda find it ironic as not too long ago the latest NE chapter has a shooting scene in it. O.o

Meme stolen from Knightblazer. :P And yes, I swear I did this meme before, but lonnnnnnnnnnnng ago. Want to do this again since now I have different icons! XD

Pick 3 or more of my icons for whatever reason. (maybe you always liked them or were curious about them) I will then tell you everything I can about those icons; why I use them, the keywords, the characters in them, the makers, any special meanings, etc etc. Then do the same in your journal!

At my university there was this huge concert event called Heat, in which there there are DJs, dancing, and well known bands playing there. That night the bands playing were She Wants Revenge, Circa Survive, and N.E.R.D. I took some pics, but not too many due to battery almost running out. >.> Also, sorry if the pics are of bad quality. Taking pics at night=bad quality.

( It's getting hot in here )

Seriously...I won BEST ESTABLISHED WRITER in this year's Fanfic Awards at Serebii? O.o This gotta be a joke, lol.

*dies*

I have to say, 2008 is one crazy year. Loads of things happened. There were many things that I want to forget I was depressed for a while during winter quarter my sophmore year due to stress and also a lot of interent drama going on. There has been a lot of great things going on too. I've made new friends, both online and real life, been doing well in school, got along with my parents well, and been enjoying a lot of fandoms besides Pokemon. XD

I'm glad I've kept my resolutions for 2008. I've taken care of my teeth better and I did really well once again in uni, and of revising/posting more of "Nothing, Everything." 'kay, this year's resolutions:

2009 RESOLUTIONS
-Get my drivers license. :X
-Finish revising/posting "Nothing, Everything" before end of 2009 (most likely as there's only six chapters left =O).
-Perphaps start another Pokemon story that's been on my head for some time (not sure as I'm going to be very busy later in '09 and also wanna focus getting NE posted and finish).
-Write better reviews. Seems my reviewing skills are lacking. =O
-Exercise. Really need to be more active. XD

Well, HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! =D

Already posted this in the NE thread, but decided to post here too incase Serebii lags. XD

One holiday card I made last month. Too lazy to make a new one. XD

A book cover that I made for NE. Gosh I suck at photobucket! XD;


Ack, tomorrow might be raining...which would suck. -_- Last Christmas the power was out. o.O

Well, nothing to say but HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :)

If you guys don't know, Madeline Blaustein voiced as Meowth in the Pokemon anime. Not sure if any of you are fans of the anime, but I've been on and off and I always love Meowth (perhaps one of my favorite Rocket members). Also, always thought Madeline does a great job with his character.

I have communicated with her once, but it was stil awesome. At Serebii there was a Q and A for Maddie and I posted a question asking what she does in her spare time. She answered that she has been working on a LOTR type of fantasy novel, which I thought was very cool.

I'm thinking in honor of Maddie I'm either going to bring back "Rid of the Scarlet Letter" (a TR centric fic) or make a new one shot that focuses on Meowth. Would bring back RoSL, but it's more focused on Jessie. ^^; However, is it too much? ^^;

Pretty much I'm just shock that she died in sleep, and very young too (my parents are her age). RIP Maddie.

EDITZ: This teaches me to find sources first. XD;

Joking aside, here's two sources I found: PokeBeach and 4Kids.

The first five people to comment in this post get to request a sketch of a character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their drawing ability level. If you absolutely can't draw, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drabbles or icons or something instead.

I SUCK at drawing, so I'll be doing icons instead (woot for photoshop! XD). ^^;

And every year I always do this quiz...

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Wednesday I bought porn for nekusagi (-10 points). Last Sunday I didn't flush (-1 points). In July I put gum in burnt_flower's hair (-12 points). In August I bought porn for cferra (10 points). In April I ruled Duluth, Minnesota as a cruel and heartless dictator (-700 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-713 points). For Christmas I deserve a lump of coal! Sincerely, bay115

EDIT: 'kay guys, need your help on something real quick. I'm doing a huge scene in the Snowpoint Temple and according to the games, some floors are very slippy since they're made of ice and all that. Wanna ask this- if there is to be a fire in the Snowpoint Temple, would the icy floors melt? ^^; Yeah, you can consider this a NE spoiler, though I don't think it's that much of a big spoiler...XD

( Meme )

Eh...been extremly busy the last couple of weeks. Not too long ago I had to do two papers, two midterms, and one homework assigment in one week. -_- Also, I still got one paper and one midterm to do (was supposed to do that midterm last Monday, but because of the California wildfires going on, my professor postoned it until this Monday). If I'm able to get some work done tonight, might be able to watch 24:Redemption (yes, I've seen a few episodes of the show and I thought it's quite good) XD

Speaking of school, something happen a few days ago. I went to my professor's office hours to show him one of the articles I'm thinking of using for the final paper (due in a couple of weeks). He looked through it real quick and he asks if he can have a copy of it. XD I said sure and then we went to the lounge where the copy machine is (which he had a bit of trobule but one of the student assistants helped him). XD

Now at the moment I'm making some Holiday gifts for my "Nothing, Everything" reviwers/readers like I did last year. However, I'm trying to do something a little different instead of just a greeting card and showing anime pictures. XD I did make another greeting card, but I liked how it turned out. I might give an excerpt of Chapter 18 and also show a couple art pics (not by me, though XD). Other than that, not sure yet. ^^; Might think of something sooner or later.

Dang, been having the flu for the last couple of weeks (caught it from one of my friends). And man, seems many people at my uni are getting it too (keep hearing coughs during lectures). O.o Feeling better, though I still get the occassional cough. Been trying to sleep eariler then usual, lol.

Tonight I finished one paper and a short assigment, both due at my birthday this Tuesday! XD Speaking of my birthday, expect Chapter 17 of Nothing, Everything to be posted that day...that is, if Serebii doesn't blow up! =O Seriously, pretty much the whole day the forums was down. And Joe said the lag problem's gone...XD;

Last thing on my mind. After the other members talking about making a musical in the lounge at PokeCommunity Forums, I so want to do a one shot/short story musical, probably a parody of the OT genre (again). ^^; Might actually do that since, even though I'll be busy, that'll give some steam off. XD Maybe I should be the writer of The Fanfiction Lounge Musical. XD;

EDIT: IF YOU GUYS WANT TO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, SAY IT HERE! XD

Random college things because my brain's fried at the moment and also will need to go to work in a few minutes. >.>

-I really hate that fianance midterm...>.>;
-Still got two midterms a paper to do this week...grr...
-Happy there's no lecture for Business Ethics tomorrow. There's discussion, but at least it's pushed to an hour and a half then the regular time slot. XD And oh, this time the third case study is due Thursday (only had a page in a half done...dang midterms XD; )
-Happy I got a perfect score on my second case study for Business Ethics XD
-Tomorrow I'll know if I'll get that Student Supervisor job at my workplace

Speaking of college work, some funny things happened the past few days:
-One of my male friends has a crush on the TA and he thinks she's hot! XD
-A couple days ago our professor told us to turn off our cell phones. Halfway through the lecture, his cell phone rang. XD
-Today me and a couple of my friends tried to study for an upcoming quiz, but instead we goof up a bit. ^^; So lucky the quiz actually wasn't very hard. XD;

EDIT: WHOOPS, FORGOT SECOND PART OF MEME! SORRY EVERYONE! ^^; YOU'LL ALL STILL GET MEMED THOUGH. xD

'kay guys, this one's been in my head for some time. I have been thinking of rewriting "Destiny's Tricks" but into a completly different story. Instead of parodying the story into a OT Epic fic, I'm thinking of changing it into a story about a couple flimakers trying to make an OT Epic movie. Some elements I'll keep (like Lugia, spam catapult, and romance XD) and there's going to be some new ones too. Also, this story's going to be short, most likely a three-four part one.

I don't know, but I felt like "Destiny's Tricks" been dragging for a bit and not much material and jokes to work around (story's actually finished but looking at it there wasn't much jokes >.>). That, and I was having hard time trying to do parodies of both epics and fanfiction in general. With this idea, I can focus on parodying epics.

Yeah, I know my old fics "Simplicity" and "Take Fifity Five!" are about movies, but this one would be different. Also, one of my reviewers said that as long as my two stories that have similar elements have twists in them, it's fine. In short, I'm doing how Scrap did with Sin and Aeon.

Just want some ophinions on this as I'm not sure if any one of you would like this idea. ^^;

EDIT: Ten bucks says this might be one of those ideas I've kept having in my head but won't go through writing due to me going to be busy. ^^; THE PLOTBUNNIES JUST WON'T STOP COMING TO ME! XD;
