Description
I didn't expect very much from this doodle page when I drew it today, because I was just doing it out of pure boredom. I hadn't water colored in ages so I decided to do it for the first time in maybe a month, and outlined both figures with an old, nearly dried out Sharpie I had lying around. Maybe I should get bored more often. I surprise even myself sometimes xDRelated content

It's a bit messy at times, though I've seen dozens of awesome watercolors that were messy. Did you wet the nearly dried out sharpie or something?! This looks nice as a practice page~. o: Why not try doing something dynamic for your next practice page? (Comfort zones should be broken! >3)

Oh no, the Sharpie was a bit tricky. After a few minutes of using it I would heat the tip of it with my breath. There was still some life left in it, but not so much that I could do a cleaner job inking

I am excited to hear that you wanna do something dynamic!

Haha! I don't mind the crappy Sharpie, to be honest. The good news is that I found a new Sharpie pen today, so I won't have to worry about going through that entire process again xD And thank you(: I'll try to post more =^-^= I have no idea what to do for the dynamic piece though

Haha I used to be a major animu geek and studied Japanese for a few months minorly. Ok vocab, can't understand too well anymore though. >.>''' Besides common vocab. ANYWAYS. Maybe, if you're daring daring, you could try a feet first perspective? Wow that'd be hard.. oAo'' But yea like the kitsune's jumping into water~? Then again you can do the kitsune hanging upside down from a tree, etc. Just some random ideas... Maybe type in dynamic and look at pictures that come up then type in kitsune and see etc. So on with other key words till you get ideas. :3

No kidding! I was like that, too! I had some really eager friends who learned to read the basic hiragana and kanji and stuff. I even have a friend who's taking a Japanese class outside of school! I could never do any of that, but years of watching subbed anime made me more familiar with the language and sometimes when I close my eyes while watching an anime I can actually understand what they're saying. Nothing fancy, only things a novice would catch(: Those are some pretty good ideas! I like the one with the tree

Even if you can't accomplish it well, I say still try! The more it sucks just means there's more room for improvement. And hey, at least you attempted and did it. Go go~! ^_^
Haha, that's awesome! For a few months I could read and write hiragana and katakana pretty well. I couldn't understand all of it but yea.. xD I am not very good at learning languages on my own, I need someone with me to keep me motivated... Though no one here is interested in the languages I want to learn. It's also hard to find teachers, too. Damn Spanish, being the popular "foreign" language here.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a really great way to think about it! I'm getting to the dynamic piece, but I'm starting it a little at a time. I want to do a bit more water color pieces to get used to the feeling
I feel the same way about languages! Spanish is vastly popular because many of our citizens speak Spanish, so I can understand that. i wish we had more options on languages though. Like I've always wanted to learn Latin, but they don't have it in most highschools anymore): And how can you understand and write hiragana and katakana?? I can never understand that! All those characters look like pictures! *__*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's really cute! I liked the small bit of what I read/saw in Pandora Hearts.. I should really finish it. It just seems so promising! I think you did good, I really love the splashy feel watercolor can give... ^_^
Ah, Spanish is super similar to Latin so I actually learned quite a bit.. if I go over it I should be able to learn as much as I know of Spanish! (Which isn't much but ehhhh.) I used to be able to really well, but now only some of it.. ^_^'' I started off by simply getting a hiragana chart and learning only the vowels first. Then I learned one row at a time. Same with katakana, I did it diligently and kept a chart in my binder so during class I could scribble it down. Y'kno? ^_^''' I should do that with hangul~. :3 The characters are pictures! ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! ^-^ And you really should continue reading Pandora Hearts! The artwork becomes godforsakenly beautiful and the plot becomes downright twisted. It actually left some of my friends in disbelief and tears, because like Alice in Wonderland, it defies logic and nothing in PH is as it seems. It becomes a dark fairy tale. It's really, really good! I wouldn't recommend the anime though, as it was a complete and utter fail
Whaaat! It's really that simple to learn? Maybe I should give it a go. Since the characters are pictures is it easier for you to learn or is it harder?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, glad to hear I was right about it being a spin-off of Alice in Wonderland. ;3 Who knows, I may be right from the beginning seeing as to how I live life with the philosophy of things not being as they seem! xD Ah the anime was? Pfft~. At least it makes the pretty characters move. Sounds like many people's opinion of Full Moon Wo Sagashite. The anime failed and the manga beat it by far~. I disagree, but that's mostly cuz I saw anime first. xD
Yes, though again, you have to be diligent in your work. Keep it in front of you at all times. Surround yourself in it. You see these letters that you are reading almost flawlessly? These are mere pictures, too. They're made up of what every drawing is made of... lines, shapes, strokes. ^_^ It is easy if you work hard and keep at it. I learned both in two weeks. I couldn't read flawlessly but I could read them and maybe understand.

Well it's not exactly a spin off. Pandora uses a bunch of AIW references and also references some of Lewis Carroll's other works. Like the major Chains, these monster things in this enchanted place called the Abyss, are all references of characters such as the March Hare, Mad hatter, Dodo, Dormouse, etc. There's symbolism EVERYWHERE, from the cover of the manga, to the splash pages marking a beginning to a new chapter, to even the artwork in the official art book. And those symbolic messages aren't meaningless. If you can decode them, you'll find out valuable secrets about each character and situation that won't be unveiled until later in the series O: There's an entire website dedicated to translating those symbolic messages! It's really cool(: I think you'll really enjoy it if you live by that philosophy xD
I heard the same thing about the Full Moon anime. I read the manga first and tried watching the anime, but it didn't really work out
You put up a really good point! O: To us these pictures are words, but maybe for other people they are nothing but childish squiggles! I feel inspired now ^-^ Maybe I'll take a look at some of the charts online or something
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is a type of spin-off though. I got far enough into the series to notice all that.. :"D I don't like some AIW reffed stuff though... I'm somewhat picky. 
xD I was little when I saw the anime and ohmygod. Favorite anime ever. :"D I still haven't got through the manga. Just sheer laziness, as I get older I get lazier and lazier to finish series, especially if it's an anime series. Pfft. xD My boyfriend has to like bother me to watch 'em with him for me to get through it.
Haha, ok! Good luck!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, sometimes I see a series that's a total spin off of AIW. But that's all it is. It's more like a retelling of Alice instead of being something original, like PH xP You should really read it when you get the chance
Omg, I'm like that now! I've been watching the mainstream shounen anime (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece) ever since the first Japanese episodes came out when I was a kid, but I got really lazy about watching the latest episodes every week that now, 3 years have passed and I'm about a hundred episodes or so behind xD i'm not even going to bother catching up >_> Too lazy. For now, animewise, I'm just sticking to watching short ones that have already finished airing xD
OOOooo! Thanks for that hint! So it's just like reading in English but backwards? O: All this time I thought they read it by starting at the far left and going straight down the column xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha alright! Prepared! xDD
UUUUUGH. Greatly dislike Naruto and Bleach as animes and well.. also as mangas. I don't even watch animes anymore, really... Only the Dark Brotherhood and a few others... but all on Netflix. (Ew) 
You're welcome! Haha. xD Umm it's just like reading English I guess... :"D Cuz when you read English you go left to right top to bottom. However I was talking about writing the characters not reading them. You write them left to right top to bottom.

Sorry!! I replied to this ages ago but it wasn't under the "Reply" button
Bro, I one shot mangas! They're perfect for lazy people like us! xD Btw this is just out of curiosity, which do you prefer: shounen or shoujo manga?
I have a lot of friends who have been trying to pressure me into watching Kdrama and listening to Kpop, but I just don't have the heart to get into it. >_> Besides, Kdrama sounds really addicting, as one my friends told me it's like regular American drama on crack x100, with hotter actors xD Lol. I'd watch it if I had time to spare being addicted! Are Kdramas really that amazing?
AHHHH! Okay, I get'cha. that doesn't sound so hard
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HAH. That's ... lovely.. :"D I've done that before. >.<
PFFT. Yay for the lazies! Well it honestly super depends on my mood ;x But I guess since I'm in a very happy relationship right now, it would be shoujo. However I realllly love shounens too... *o* But all of my top fav mangas are shoujo.. :3
Then the animes.. I prefer shounen animes. o3o In general usually my animes are shounen.
FFFFFFF. If you get into it, which durr, of course ya do, it can become somewhat addicting. I found it more pulling than anime was for sure. I just finished my first Kdrama series, but it wasn't the first I started. I had to literally shut down my laptop and force myself to go out somewhere to take a break and relax from it for a while... xD So if you're easily an "addict" then totally wait till you got time to get into the Kdramas.
Now Kpop on the other hand is just like any anime or manga series. You should totally avoid the fucking fandom and ignore all the gay ass fan wars and just /listen to the fucking music/. Seriously. Fandoms are NOT worth your time. xD I mean I'm a beauty, I'm part of the fandom for B2ST/Beast, but I don't participate with any other fans. I don't even keep up to date with who's debuting their new song etc. I just find it or seek it out if I'm /really/ that interested.
Katakana IS FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE. Ice cream is written in Katakana. That is a foreign word from the english language. Hiragana is strictly Japanese. Katakana is for names that are in English too! Lilly, Billy, etc.
It's not meant for being easier for foreigner's to read, it's meant for the Japanese to know what's foreign and what's not. Via alphabet system. (I think that's really bad ass.) Think of Katakana like when someone italicizes or bolds a word that isn't originally English. Ne? xD
Go make that pictorial dictionary! Fuck go make a thousand of them! XD Don't forget to post what you learn online. Those who are looking for more vocab or some extra help will love it...

Same here xD I'm into shoujo nowadays because I've been into shounen for so long, I needed some fuzzy love and romance. I'll keep that piece of advice about watching KDrama! I had a friend who suggested the KDrama "Boys Over Flowers" and was about to watch it, too. I start school next week so I don't think it'll be a good idea to watch it yet!
And OHMYGOD Kpop. I listen to Jpop from time to time, but I can never get into Kpop like I do with Jpop. My friends' crazy Kpop fandom addiction totally ruined the experience for me! xD I've visited a couple of those Kdrama/Kpop forums for drawing references and the people there are the ones you really don't want to piss off xD All of my friends are really into Beast! The only Kpop groups/person I've ever listened to are Younha, IU, and some Taeyang and BigBang. I don't listen to all their songs though. Just the few that are really different that I really like. Like, Cruel Fairytale by IU is one of my favorite Kpop songs because it's really dark and different from other songs.
Oh, bro! That really clears things up! Haha! No wonder I was so confused when i thought that Katakana was for foreigners xD I still really like it though. It makes everything sound so badass than it actually is! Thanks again xD
Of course I'll post them online! xD I found a couple of really awesome groups here that are dedicated to teaching and learning the Japanese language

Woo! xD Yea I know a lot of people who dislike shoujo greatly and I just wanna beat some sense into 'em cuz shoujo is fucking awesome. *rant* xD I love my fuzzy love and romancey shit <3 It's just soo cute. *o*! Not only that but a lot of the drawing styles I admire /so much/! I start it in two weeks.. :"D Haha xD
asdlkfjasd. xD I love Kpop and Jpop however... I do /not/ go obsessive! I don't even know how people can ... couple their biases and ship 'em! Like wtf!? It's real people! >_< So I stay away from the fandom since it usually scares me.. :l So MUSIC GALORE! I actually like Jrock better than Jpop though... by far. xD OMG. TELL ME WHO THE COOL ONES OF YOUR FRIENDS ARE THAT ARE INTO B2ST! I CAN'T FIND ANYONE WHO LIKES THEM LIKE I DO HERE. ;.; Central Texas sucks for Kpop fans... :/ You can't really find any here fajdlksfjas. Jrock and Jpop fans are /easier/ to find than Kpop =.=''' Even then they mostly only listen to anime songs.
Glad I helped clarify that shit bro. :"D Hahaha. It does.. x) I was just eating a tub of ice cream with my bf and friend yesterday o3o So much fun. But we didn't finish it. You're welcome!
Woot! Keep working on it, soon enough you'll memorize that this makes that sound.

Oh. My gerrrd. I FREAKING LOVE THE SHOUJO ART STYLE! It's so clean and delicate and oh so prettiful, what's not to like about the genre? And HOLY SHIT. I've been reading a lot of fluffy shoujo titles lately as a change from reading so many hardcore shounen manga! There's this one I'm reading right now called Kamisama Hajimemashita, or Kamisama Kiss for the English version, and it's just so fucking cute!!! I hadn't read anything so fuzzy like it in a loong ass time! It's got a tad bit of fluff in it, some really awesome Japanese mythology, a pretty badass male love interest who's a kitsune, and a main heroine who accidentally becomes the kitsune's master and also the Land God of the kitsune's shrine. FUCKing adorable, I'll tell ya! I'm running low on shoujo titles to read, so if you'd like you could recommend me some titles ;D
WTF, you're from central Texas? There are no BEAST fans there? That's impossible! I lived around the southern part of Texas until a year ago, and I've got a friend up in Grapevine, TX who's always telling me how there are so many Koreans up there that they have their own Korean Town and shiz! I saw pictures on her Facebook, and it was so cool! They got those awesome picture booths with all those adorable Asian graphics and stuff! And like, a spa in a Korean market, and also a lot of bishies. Well, since you're in Texas, there's like, a bunch of Asians, and Asians these days are always into Korean stuff whether or not they're Korean themselves xD If you can't find someone who's into BEAST, might as well go and turn some people into fans! It kind of annoys me when someone only listens to anime songs. It's kind of sad, really. I usually keep my distance from people like that. I don't know why, it's just...really embarrassing. Y'know?
Haha! I would never eat a tub of ice cream, even with friends. I'm doing this workout program called P90X and it's a real bitch, and I'm staying away from yummy, unhealthy food so I won't be tempted to quit the program. Like I did 2 months ago. LOL.

THAT SOUNDS SO GOOD. OMG. jflksdafjsad. I wanna read it now man but I'm sorta obsessed with Sims 3 right now.. ;u; Been a long time since I've played sims. OH. OH. HAVE YOU READ THESE?
- 24 Colors - Hatsukoi no Palette
Super super cute and it's like about an artsy girl entering HS and they join the art club, and it's just ... fakldjfasd <3 SO FLUFFYYY.
- 7th Period is a Secret
I read this a few years ago and oh.my.god. This is the best fluff ever it made me cry and it's so SO short! But GREAT! The story just... hit home with me. :3
- Megane - Hazushitemo Ii desu ka?
So these top 3 are all made by the same mangaka (she's got greatt stuff) and god. I loved this collection of one shots.
- En Passant
This is a shounen manga with a shoujo art style. Oh. MY GOD. This was KJLFDJAFKSD. DUDE FUCKING READ THIS <3 It's chess IRL and it's fucking AMAZE-ING.
- Loose Leaf
This was super cute, what really drew me to it was the name and the cover of this manga. Made me think of a sketch book or journal, y'kno? Thing is... that's how this story begins, writing on loose leaf paper. A must read.
- Memory Eaters
My last of this list. This one was sooo good. It's kinda like a shounen, seriously! It's got the typical intricate plot that shounens have compared to shoujos. This is amazing, and as the title says, there's creatures who eat memories. That's what causes people to be forgetful, cool, huh? It's fluffy too! <3
YES I AM. BUT I'M LIKE, DFW. I'm Lake Worth, so not even 20 mins from downtown FW. xD I didn't know Grapevine had their own Koreatown... I knew that there was a Koreatown in Dallas but not in Grapevine. Huh. I'll have to def go out there ASAP!
Asians are hard to find in the FW area. Fucking for reals. I've only seen a handful of Asians around these parts. xD It's majority Mexican around here, also some other parts are majority Black... White people dominate strict downtown though. 
Oh yikes! D: Sounds tough. I dance /a lot/. I also walk a lot, too. So I get really good exercise, I also eat meat and fruit. (Meat and fruit are mah staples!) I friggin' love fruit like no god damn tomorrow. Oh wanna know a really weird but DELISH filling for onigiri? Cream cheese. It's soooo good! <3 The slight saltyness of the rice (due to using salt water to shape it) with the creamy but somewhat sweet and bland taste of cream cheese is just so... suiting!
Ok. So adding you to friends list now... Oh and if you have any extra communication places you feel like sharing note me :3 I have YIM and FB. :I

OMGGGG those titles sound so fluffy already! Memory Eaters and En Passant sound so cool! I've gotta read all these while I still can! Which reminds me, there's this shounen mangaka who's like, the author of the 666 Satan manga series, and he made this one shot shoujo manga based off of the Cinderella fairytale, only much, much more disturbing. It is soo cooool! It's a one shot and only 22 pages long! You should check it out! [link] It's even darker than the original Grimm version of the story! *O*
EWWW you really weren't kidding! I really hate DFW. I had cousins who were living there and it was so ghetto, like, no lie, they were the only Asians in their neighborhood, and everyone was black. If you want to be in a place with a LARGE Asian population, then you should head sown south, roughly 45 minutes south of Dallas, in the Arlington and Grand Prairie areas. That's where I was until last year xD The highschool I went to had a lot of Asians in it. About 1/3 of the total school population were all Asians xD It was so much fun! There were mainly all Viets, though. A handful of Koreans and Filipinos here and some Saudia Arabians there. Yep. Veeery diverse! I hear Houston has a large Asian population too! There were these Vietnamese twins at my high school in Texas who came over all the way from France, and they speak perfect Viet, French, and English! I'm really jealous!
OHMYGOSH!! You eat rice and kimchi?? Bro, that is freaking fliptastic! Hahaha! Why didn't I meet you sooner? You should learn to make kimchi yourself! It's not very hard at all! I'm Viet, and my mom makes it all the time! Although it's not really kimchi anymore 'cuz my mom Vietified it xD It's a lot better than the ones you buy at stores because store bought ones are all black and shiet. I like to eat it with ramen lol!
LOL. That doesn't sound so bad! I work at a sushi restaurant and cream cheese is actually one of the ingredients in some of our rolls! Like, do you put only cream cheese in onigiri or do you put it along with its other fillings? I gotta try that! And I should really start to jog in the mornings. Meats and fruits are usually my staples too xD
And thanks for the add! Hahaha! I do have a FB but I'm grounded from it for the time being. IYou can always find me here on DA, though

THE HORSES. THE FRIGGIN' HORSES. afklsjfklas. OHMYGOD. THEY'RE SO SEXY. (Just kidding, BUT GOD. I LOVE THE DESIGN! HNNGGGFF!) That was so cute yet scary... xD I dunno, I found it extremely cute. It is much darker than the Brothers Grimm version.
I live near that area... xD Being near downtown Fort Worth I'm in the middle of the Asiatowns. My friend went to the Koreatown in Dallas today! Kya! I am /so/ jealous! >.< He said the food was expensive though, haha~. Of course it is! It's not easily accessible here. :c And that sounds SO cool...! Haha! I wanna go to Koreatown and maybe hit it off with someone who's Korean.. Just so I have someone IRL to study it with! Ohmygoshhh~! I'd be soo psyched... :"D Man gimme connections! xD Viets are veryy easy to find u.u''' Ah we got a muslim girl at our school.. :3 I told her her hijab looked gorgeous and the next day she went to all the classes explaining the hijab... n.n WOAH! That's SO cool! ;u; I hope I am able to teach my children (were I to adopt any, not having any mind ya!) multiple languages. <3
I LOVE RICE STUFF. :'D I haven't had kimchi yet... I will later today though! Oh and bulgogi! <3 My friend was super nice about saving me some :"D *friggin' BEGGED* askd;lfjasd. Seriously? Then you should know it's delish! However... I can't eat fish.. my body rejects it. I had a veggie sushi roll (no fish) and I could barely get it down just because it was made near fish... x.x I ... I nearly throw up when I eat any kind of fish. I really like pickles too. Just cut up those pickle slices from the pelican jar and mix it in, sometimes with cream cheese akldfjas. HEAVEN ON THY TONGUE. Yea we don't have any traditional fillings.. xD I wanna eat meat in mine! My dad gave me a Hawaiian wasabi onigiri from his friend who had just flown back. Was pretty good, and of course was served with a slab of spam!
I want to learn how to make it! xD Ohmygosh man! IKR!? <3 I know it's not hard haha! It looks TONS of fun if you do it with friends! It's a major group activity!
I love to danncee~!
YA YA YA YA OH LA LA LA LA SUPPAA~ NOOVAA~ *shot*
You're welcome, haha! <3 Oh I see... xD I've only gotten grounded once but ehhhhh. o3o I've got a good trust bond with my dad/parents. I'm pretty straight up about what I'm up to and shit. So I get to stay out late~! fjadkfajs <3

My bad, I've got school now. 5 AP classes and homework on the first day =_= I'm glad you liked that oneshot!
I didn't know Dallas had a Korea Town ^^ It's expected that the food is expensive though xD We got a Hong Kong Market in Grand Prairie and they have like, virtually any Asian food you'll look for, and the Japanese and Korean snacks are always pricey! I'd like to teach my kid multiple languages too xD I'm a senior in high school right now and I'm going neck to neck with my counselor to fix my schedule. I had down French 1 since I've always wanted to learn this language REALLY BAD besides Japanese, and they put me in another class instead. Pissed me off. It's my senior year, goddammit! I really want to learn French)':
Aww bro, that totally sucks! I freaking love fish! I eat, live, and practically breathe fish! And you have like, some really weird taste buds xD Pickles and cream cheese, hmmmm. Sounds disgusting, but I'd like to try it xD We have veggie rolls where I work too, and those are pretty damn good. They had these Japanese mayonaise in them and it makes the inside of your mouth feel all cool and stuff, kind of like mint! LOL.

I have all AP classes.. everything's advanced for me... =.='' Oh well, it's just the homework that's sometimes tedious. I got my book so I gotta finish summer hw real fast! Me too~! :"D
Yea, Dallas does up in the NE area. My friend said there was all kinds of Asians there, just tons. xD He didn't even understand most people's conversations. Haha. WHAT. Yea, go bitch to that counselor! D: You need to get a head start on that shit man! Be like, "UM. I'M A SENIOR. GIMME MAH FRENCH." xDD I hope you get your french class man. (: I haven't gotten my schedule yet (first day of school). I'm kinda scared to get it >.<
I decided to try what seemed nasty.. I usually hate pickles, actually. :"D But the juicyness of 'em added something extra. x) Real good. Ughh I know! I gotta stick with being extra careful if I go to South Korea and Japan... x.x Haha, really?! Maybe they put mint in their mayo?! xD It seemed like the roll was a good roll, just if it wasn't the fishy-ness... T.T alksjdfas.
Fuck you taste buds D: And brain! D: fjadsl. I wanna know my schedule oemgeee. I already know what my classes are pretty much... but still. oAo

LOL me too! Advance classes are easy as hell and while I'm at it, might as well take AP all the way just for the high class ranking and shiet xD Plus at my school they pay you 100 bucks for every Math, English and Science related AP test you pass with a 3 or higher ^^ I That's some great motivation there(:
Dang, great to know that Dallas has an Asian section of the city! From what I see whenever I go to Dallas there's always a lot of ghetto people in the neighborhoods): LOL I'mma keep pestering them until they find a way to give me French xD They'll probably have to kick out some Freshman since I'm like, a senior and all xD And you start school this Monday, right?
Ha! That's good way to try food! Have you ever tried milk chocolate with lime and shrimp flavored ramen? It turns into some kind of dessert if you add enough chocolate xD The sweetness burns your throat though! One of my English teachers used to teach in South Korea and she told me that where she lived, they had toilets where you had to squat down to use xD I found this sign on Google from a Japanese restroom after she told us that and apparently China, Korea and Japan have squat toilets because shitting in that position is easier than just sitting down on the toilet. They showed a diagram and everything xD I think it's cool.
Oh maaaaan! Hope you don't get a crappy schedule! If you ever have a schedule you don't like you can always fight with the counselors about it. If you're persistent enough you'll win. I've been doing that for 5 years now and I always get my way xD Good luck xD

Whoo! Not the only one who believes that! :"D I'd probably have trouble with Asian normal classes... @.@''' Haha, but who knows man? Whuuut?! They do?! That's.... that's so cool. o-o I wanna get money for passing! D: My boyfriend's in all AP classes and he took the AP English test here and he failed. :c He's horrible at English, I mean he has the ideas great but it's just... expressing them. Expressing them in words or pictures is just so incredibly hard for him. :c So I've been trying to help him sometimes. ^.^ Any ideas you've got would be cool~.
UGGHH. Dallas is THE GHETTOOO. :c It's like worth than Northside mann! D: Fuck that shit, hahaha. xD Yess do it! It'll work! "FINE IF IT'LL SHUT YOU THE FUCK UP." Yea I do. Almost got my homework done, though I will have to e-mail it. :l Can't print. My printer's decided to quit fucking working with computers when you dl the drivers online and canon's customer service is acting like fucking microsoft's. "Oh here's an automated reply, fuck you~! We stole yo moneys~!" =.='''
Ewwwwwwww. :c I can't stand seafood or anything flavored it. I tried a veggie sushi roll (no fish in it at all) and I nearly threw up because it was made near and with fishy gloves. :c I also have this thing against milk, so my mind has made me semi-lactose intolerant. It's just milk... I can eat dairy products fine but milk man... >.< I learned the facts about it and ever since.... euugghh. Ohmygosh! EYK showed those off, hahaha! xD Wow that's so... gross but cool. xD
EFFFFF. I know the classes I'll have... and the teachers for the most part, but stilll. xD I did that last year actually, and year before.. XD I do it a lot. "Bitch I can't work like this :l" Last year it was my computer class. /Oh my god it was sooo boring./ Me being one of the few who's been on the computers since the 90's (yea, right after I was fucking born. xD '98 was my first year if I remember correctly) I know the whole inside and out of everything. So I got to where I got a free grade and was able to study Korean. c: So that was my Korean class last year. Got basic pronunciation, alphabet memorized, and able to read real slow. Oh and I got a lot of basic sentences I can say and animals.. XD

Yeaaahhhh, sometimes it's hard to express yourself when you have to write English essays. I've been BSing most of them throughout the school year last year and I got mostly all 8's and 9's on mine xD It turns out I passed that AP English and Language exam last year, so I'll be getting a hundred dollars from my school xD That was a really hard test though! So I totally don't blame your boyfriend for failing it. I'm surprised I even passed, to be honest! O:
LOL I thought so. The only reason why I didn't move there was because my mom was concerned for me living in such a ghetto place, being the adorably defenseless little girl I am xD And what's so bad about milk? Is it about all those hormones you can find in them and stuff? I hear that stuff actually makes you hairier xD There was this British girl I met over Gaiaonline when I used to play it years ago who asked me why Americans were all so hairy xD LOL. Gotta love them Brits <3 I used to chug down milk by the gallon evey week and a half when I was younger, but I became semi lactose intolerant starting in my 9th grade year =_= You guys have Korean class at your school?? The only Asian language class we have at mine is Mandarin Chinese!

Ahh, congrats man! I hope I pass that test, too! Haha, my ISS teacher (who've I've become pretty close to since last year) has real good faith in me and is proud of me and my plans. Haha, he's actually trying to help me get a job right now! He told his friend last night about me, since I enjoy coding and web designing (his friend is a web designer) and since I'm turning 16 in a few months he may be coming to chat with me this week. c: I'm super excited, haha! c: I don't blame him either, a lot of people failed. :c I hope he finds something that he knows he's good at. He doesn't count math or science, at all. =.='' He's fucking legendary at math. xD Can do these real complicated things in his head in like 2 minutes? Fucking genius at math but he doesn't see it.
I'm also getting some SAT and ACT lessons! C: (YAYY~!) I friggin' love this year's teachers, the new ones are really helpful already. I get to fillm~!
xD I am that too, according to everyone! "You? ... Please." "-.- Gimme a pocket knife I'll use my goddamn teeth and running skills! OH and my screeching skills man! You know I can screech." Lmaooo. I am told I squeak all the time, ever since I was little I've been compared to a mouse... =.=''' PFFT. The blood, mucus, pus, and other ewy factors. ;u;'' LOLOL. Uh. Milk. Lots of milk straight. xD Not with tea. LMAO. PFFT. No, we don't. xD I used my old computer class (which was dreadfully annoying and boring to me) as a Korean Class. It was all purely self taught. I'd sometimes speak in it when people asked me what I was doing. "Studying Korean," then translate. Or I'd show them the alphabet and write a sentence. xD "Bulgogiyeyo~" xD "That's BBQ~". Tonsa fun. Haha!
I was often looked at like I was a freak. c: I gotta speak in Spanish this year! D: My ability to speak is THE worst. xD Haha. I am FAR better at writing and reading and listening. (Hence why I enjoy typing in Spanish online here with others c: )

Hahaha! Your ISS teacher sounds like a real nice person! You like web designing? O: Duuuuude you can make a lot of money just from web design! There are like, soooo many people out there who don't know how to make their own website and need it to advertise for their work or whatever! And getting such a great job at 16, too? That'll be super good for you! It'll be really good for your resume! 
Wait, so you're a sophmore this year? Bro, take it from me. SERIOUSLY take advantage of free education right now! People probably tell you this a lot, but take mainly classes you need and actually look ahead to what your future in college would look like. Get involved while you have the chance and become like, a leader at a club or something. Looks good for college applications. I'm in my senior year right now and there are a couple of things I wish I would have and wouldn't have done with my classes >_<
Ha! That's totally awesome! I have a study hall class this year to help me study because I have 5 out of 7 AP classes, and I'm using that opportunity to teach myself French and Japanese xD That's crazy how you taught yourself Korean >_< And Spanish isn't so bad. Since the Spanish pronunciations are similar to Japanese pronunciations, in class sometimes I got the two languages mixed xD Like once for our verbal speech test in Spanish, I nearly said " Hola, Senorita! Me llamo Lena desu. O namae wa?" xD LOLOLOLOL!

He is real nice and cool if you are someone he gets along with and have similar interests. We're both hardcore lovers of Nintendo 64, NSE, Atari, etc. It will definitely look good, now I'm just waiting for the guy to maybe pop up. xD If not I'll probably start at car wash, yikes that does sound tiring! Glad it's worth it though. c:
Ahh I have been man, since 8th grade ! xD Looking for scholarships, getting SAT/ACT lessons, oh and a lot of computer related classes this year. I'm taking one for video stuff. Filming, editing, mixing and mashing and another that's pretty much graphic design. My study hall will be for working and building websites. Gotta make one for the school's basketball team, lol. ;u; I hope I do a good job, but it'd look much better if I were to use javascript. Must learn. n.n''
I'm taking all core AP classes and I got AP in a computer class xD Hence why I've got two. Dreamweaver is really great! Haha, I'm used to notepad soo.. yea. xD
I'm still teaching myself, haha~! I've only learnt basic grammar, I also need to refresh my memory, been very lazy this summer. Ahh I've almost done that before, too! Hahahaha~. Very similar, lmao. xD With the iPad that should help motivate me a bit to practice Korean. I personally think I sound stupid in Spanish, I only sound natural when I'm nervous as hell (which is usually when I gotta speak it) cuz I speed through it and pronounce it correctly-ish. ;u;'''

Oh Gawd he sounds uber cool! My AP Bio teacher is kinda like that, only he totally looks like someone you would see working at like, Gamestop or something, or somewhere where they sell video games xD I'm getting back into video games myself! My brother recently let me have our modified PS1 inside my bedroom, now instead of doing my AP homework I can be a douche and play Chrono Trigger and Legend of Mana late at night! 〜(￣▽￣〜)
Man, I just know you're gonna do great!! All that stuff you're involved in is just gonna build up over time and get you some awesome scholarships!! Speaking of video editing, do you know this Asian guy named Freddie Wong (freddiew) on Youtube?? I LOVE HIS VIDEOS!! His videos have got to be the best film editing videos on all of Youtube! He sounds like someone you'd be interested in watching :-D
LOL. Spanish sounds like Japanese, only slightly inferior in my opinion. We had oral tests in my Spanish classes and I would always be nervous because almost alllll the kids in there were native speakers, and i didn't want to sound like a bitch or accidentally insult them with my Spanish >_> Back when I was in Texas, it was a requirement for us to learn Spanish in class during elementary school. Like, we had Spanish class after Art and Music and whatever for about 4 years, and at that time I pretty much understood a good deal of Spanish. I didn't take another Spanish class until 4 years later in the 8th grade, so I didn't remember as much, and I stopped taking Spanish altogether now and forgot everything, so it feels as if all those years having to learn Spanish has been wasted =_____= 6 years of Spanish, forgotten. I'm so pissed about that.
And bro, Spanish is easy to learn compared to Korean xD You're going to be so badass when you become somewhat fluent in these languages-!

Haha, my boyfriend pissed him off by talking about politics with him though. xD Pfftt. Oh that's real awesome, haha! My dad's your hippy kinda guy just bald and modern. xD He used to be a store manager that brought the store of death near the top. c: (gamestop wise) He got kinda famous for that, hahaha. xD Ohmygosh. I pass out. I don't game, I fall asleep, ppfft! I got homework that's due tomorrow. I've pushed it alll off until today... ;u;'' Man. Homework day and laundry day.
Legend of Mana!!! xD Spyro was me, hahaha. I loved my Spyro games. ;u;
Hahaha, not really. Thanks, already the first video's real badass! x) Yesss, it will definitely build up over time and accumulate to pure awesomeness. *nods* Need to hurry up and do a good few hours of volunteer work as well. Off to the pounds~! I'll definitely be watching some of his tutorials (since I saw the one for that) and maybe use 'em to further show off.
Well we could start up some Spanish, that way we both work on it together.. xD I can always use another Spanish buddy! Gosh. I know what you mean, White people are the minority at our school, the majority is Mexican. So a lot of people speak it at home and asdfjasdf. I'm all, "laka;dfds DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME OKAIS?" xDD Though I get compliments the few times I quietly speak it. =='' Howw?
I'm somewhat fluent in Spanish, I can understand SO well xD It's kinda scary. I can write okayish but my speaking is fjalkdfjsdaf. :/ I will be working towards Korean being the same way! (If not better, soon! xD)
