Something random you should know: I LOVE it when people draw the character's personality is intact(in other words, unchanged)~ it really gives the picture a better feel because they act the same as they were made to be.

High School is done! Summer 2011 begins!

Haha as the title says, hello everyone!!~ I'm done with high school forever!! >.< As of yesterday I just took my VERY last exam, the AP spanish exam and my god was it hard xD But that's okay I'm fine with whatever I get! *nods*

To those of you on here that recommended D. Gray Man by the way, I absolutely LOVE YOU TO DEATH xDD Because I love D.Gray Man so so much! It really is great and I love all of their unique attributes and abilities ^^ It's a fun and very intense story to read! Allen Walker is amazing >.<

I'm sorry I haven't been replying on here..I just find it awkward to reply on my own posts sometimes because it shows up as a new comment notification by myself in my backroom xDD I will reply from now on though, I promise!

So now it's off to college in the fall! I have preview on July 5th/6th so I'm very excited! ^^ I can't wait to get my new life in college started!

For those of you that have been missing Riiya by the way, I'm drawing her right now so you'll get to see her again~ expect lots of art this summer! I'm going to work SUPER hard, I promise! And this time I don't have excuses because there is absolutely ZERO homework haha!

On that note, I was offered an AMAZING opportunity yesterday from my music teacher: she asked me personally if I'd like to be the pianist accompanying the school Chamber Singers as they sing Faithfully by Journey at Graduation!! I'M SOO EXCITED! >//< But of course I'll have to work really really hard! It's on June 4th and first rehearsal is this Tuesday!! @__@ I can do it though I think! *nods*

So enough on me, how are you all? Thank you so much for all of the support everyone T__T I haven't been on active on here as I should have been, but I promise I'll make it up to you!

I've reached 200+ subs which is AMAZING and I never thought would happen T__T So thank you for making one of my goals a reality! *super hugs* I love you all so much! Take care of yourselves!<3

A month already?

Oh goodness gracious it's already been almost a month since I've updated this?? >.<
Hello everyone~ I'm SO sorry I've been so negligent of this place, I really have...I just am not seeing very many people online these days and it makes me really sad T__T Plus I'm hearing about some issues with e-card and wallpaper submissions and it's just worrying me that theO has turned into a whole 'nother place that I barely even recognize from when I first joined here..

I don't know, I almost feel like there's really no trace of the old theOtaku anymore these days. Back then before there were any "Challenges", I feel like more people wanted to join contests when they just posted about it and people spread the word. Nowadays I see so many challenges where there are zero, one or two entries and it saddens me so much. I feel like we all interacted so much more back then.

I know a lot of you are newer members and also that many of my friends are much MUCH older members but think about it, there have been quite a few changes lately huh?

In any case..my last day of school was on April 29th and I can't believe I'll never have to step foot on campus again except for our final farewell from teachers at the Senior Obligation Day and Awards Ceremony later this month. I just finished my first week of testing and it was REALLY intense haha..usually each day I had about 6-7 hours of straight-up testing so I'm pretty tired lol...I have about 3 more exams to go and then I'm finished, so I'm very excited!! (By the way, I'm not in school..we get a month off for exams xD And I have 8 this year with multiple papers for each one LOL).

I guess..well I'll figure something out! I'm going to work hard to finish some art..lately I've been so exhausted with exams it's been impossible for me to do ANYTHING else @__@
Love you all so so much!! And no need to comment if you don't want to, I just wanted to make this post to let you know I'm alive xD I keep losing subs haha but I can understand. I haven't been submitting very "good quality" art as of late. But I'll redeem myself I promise!
So! I'll see you all around~ please take care of yourselves!

Prom 2011!

Hi there everyone!! Sorry I haven't really been updating, but it's been a busy week! Getting ready to go to prom was so much fun haha!~ It was my first time doing make up so I was really really surprised at how well it turned out xD I might post pics but I'm having trouble uploading stuff so that kinda fails..maybe I will post pics my friends uploaded...
but until then you'll have to live with it, sorry xD

So Prom was LOVELY!<33 I LOVED seeing everyone all dressed up although the whole event was still a bit of a fail xD I was late getting to the photo place because it was in a HUGE neighborhood that is 30 minutes away from my house with a million different entrances so I was late and didn't get to take any official photos haha. But anyways it was so fun seeing everybody all dressed up! Especially the friends of mine that don't usually dress up(including myself) lol.
Then we went to dinner at Carrabbas which was LOTS of fun~ the service was a fail and we ended up getting to prom 2 hours late but that's okay xDD Haha All of my friends had dates, which was fine because I knew all of them and their dates...but like when we actually got to the dance floor it was SO sad LOL. My friend's over-dramatic date complained about having chest pain(because he's worried that he'll die someday...fail xD) and then when we forced him onto the dance floor he suddenly felt better hahahaha and like..you guys know how some high school parties are like right? Well couples were pretty much grinding on the dance floor but my friends weren't the type to do that so it was like REALLY awkward when their dates all tried to ask them to grind with them on the dance floor LOL...and they just didn't do it xD
The MUSIC WAS A REALLY BIG FAIL. Like all of the songs were songs that practically nobody knew, so when the DJ stopped the music so everyone could sing the words out as a group, it was always only like 5 people that sang along hahaha. Plus all of the songs sounded the same rhythm-wise...so it was kind of a sad experience and no one really wanted to dance for most of it.
But the fruit punch was good. xD

I didn't have a date, before any of you guys ask xD But I'm actually kinda glad that I didn't lol or else he probably would have asked me to grind on the dance floor too and when someone asks it's just awkward haha.
Otherwise, prom was REALLY REALLY fun and I just loved seeing everybody<3 I really liked being with everyone and the setting was pretty nice!
Now, however, I have to read a book for school T__T Exam tomorrow!
Luckily school is almost over!! Thanks all of you guys for sticking by me >.< I'm really working on getting everything done ahead of time so I can spend more time talking with you all! Love you guys so much!<33 Take care!

P.S.- I REALLY REALLY want Tangled on DVD >.<

I'm Safe, no worries!

Hello everyone! Just a quick post to let you all know that I'm safe!! I had a WONDERFUL time in Korea and I'll tell you all about it later ^^ Got homework to do!<3 So take care and I'll see you then!

Korea tomorrow!

Simply put as the title says everyone! I can't really type much since it's about time for me to go to sleep but I wanted to say I love you guys so much and I'll keep in touch in Korea, don't worry! ^^ I'll just be there for a week haha! =) Take care everyone and happy Spring Break 2011!<3
