First off, a lot of thanks to everyone who commented on my vector post and my H2O card~! ^^ *bows* I really appreciate it! I might submit an H2O card later on and a new wallpaper (from Clannad), which you can see here (too lazy to submit it now). I made it yesterday and, well, you'll see more details when I submit it here ^^
As for school, it hasn't been too bad up to this point. The new Chemistry teacher -now we have only one "basic" class of Chem/week and the other is an extra, called "Chemistry in Health and Beauty", with a different teacher- is nice and she sent us the course via IM 
I never expected a Chem teacher to have a messaging program! The Spanish teacher also told us that we're going to have Spanish as the first class, next year, on Monday and Friday. Next year we'll be studying in the morning (around 7:30 a.m.) and I don't wanna start out with Spanish 
Oh well, I suppose it's better than Chem or Physics!
Through some unknown alignment of the planets (and other astrological mumbo-jumbo), me and Nico are now sitting in the front desk! Last year (and the year before) we sat at the third desk and it was great, because we could sleep, laugh and read books without being disturbed by the teachers (when the classes were boring, of course, and not during important subjects). Now we have to pay attention all the time and we can't even yawn without being seen! Not to mention the classroom's small (the smallest in the entire high school, no kidding!) and we're all crowded. I feel like I'm in a box, the room's shaped like a cube! >_<"
Um, what else to say... I have the same Romanian L&L teacher from last year, and the same teacher of English. They're both boring as Hell and I barely manage to stay awake during their classes. How is it that something as interesting as literature becomes so boring when they teach it?! Yesterday, the teacher of English told us that we were to get the "Advanced Gold" course book, instead of the "Proficiency" one. The day before, almost all voted for "Proficiency", but who cares about democracy? -_-" This is because we're going to take the CAE (I forgot what it stands for) in May or June and we need a book. Then she said the classes weren't going to be fun like before, but serious. AS IF they were ever fun >_> After that, she asked us if we were willing to become serious students and then assumed we were, since we looked so serious. Apparently, asleep=serious, 'cause that's how we were ._.
This is getting too long and boring... On the light stuff side, I'm reading "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov now. It's enjoyable and I understand how the main (male) character feels like -that does NOT make me a pedophile -_-" - and I wanna see the movie too! As for more artsy stuff, here are some new avvies I made ^^
OK, so I don't really agree with smoking, but there are people who smoke and I wanted to make something different. No discrimination! (Plus I like the way it turned out).
I'm also working on a new vexel, just because I like to torture myself :3 This is the image I'm working with (hopefully I'll get it done by Christmas -__-"); I chose it because I liked the autumn-y colors :3
Thank you again for visiting and sorry for not being able to keep up with the notifications! They pile up and sometimes I don't have time to check them all >_< Sorry for the long post, you know me: I disappear for a while, then come back with a huge post! *hugs everyone* Hope you have a great week and that school's not too hard on ya!

Yay, it was a record for me this time! And it's the most complex vector I've ever made, so I'm really proud of it <3 This style is called vexelling, from what I've heard, making multiple shades and such. Note: I didn't use any gradients here, it's all shape layers!

Sorry, I just couldn't wait until my next post, so I had to share it Please tell me what you think! *hugs* Oh, I started from this image.

Listening to: James Blunt - 1973 (his only song that I like)
Mood: tired, very upset (see school paragraph), somewhat neutral (see first paragraph)
Hey everyone! Thank you for the kind comments, I'm feeling better now and visited more people ^_^ I've also started a few new projects, but I'm too lazy to take screenshots of all of them and I'll just present this Sailor Neptune image I'm vectoring (just so you know, the original image is bigger; it was over 1 MB so PB resized it -_-). I was reading a wallpaper's description on AP and it mentioned a Sailor Moon site, Dreaming Moon. Of course, I went on a rampage and downloaded 70+ of images I want to vector >_<" There are some pretty ones I haven't seen before and I want to vector them! <3 Needless to say, I won't be vectoring all of them, some will be kept only for avatars and such.
The weather's been weird here, it has been cloudy outside since Friday. The strange thing is that it was fine and a little too warm on Friday, until noon; it the evening, the sky was cloudy and it started raining -_- Now, a sudden drop of 5 degrees isn't pleasant, especially if you're sick (like I am). So now, instead of wearing T-shirts and shorts, I have to wear trousers and jumpers >_> It's not that bad, I'm tired of high temperatures, but it's awkward...
Anyway, school's starting tomorrow! I don't wanna go!! ;_; I wanna stay home and vegetate and watch movies and sleep XD And that shrew of a head teacher mocked us yesterday and told us the timetable. NOO!! And it's pretty nasty too. Sure, we're still studying in the afternoon, so that means no waking up and freezing on the streets at 7 a.m., which is good. But having 4 classes of Computer Science or however it's called in one day is torture! T_T And the last 2 classes on Friday are Physics! *begins to dig her own grave* Keep in mind that when the classes start at 1:30 p.m. (Wednesday and Thursday), I have 6 classes and when they start at 12:30 p.m. (the rest), I have 7 classes. However you put it, I ain't getting off earlier than 7:30 p.m. everyday T_T And I still have 2 classes of Chemistry/week, but at least there'll be only one class of Biology (yuck). And did I mention the 6 classes of Maths/week?! *stabs self repeatedly with butcher's knife*
*sigh* Sorry, but I felt like screaming out loud when I heard about it. Unfortunately, it was 10 p.m., so no scream therapy for me *sulks*
Um, I've also noticed a lot of Vampire Knight works these days, it's really popular now. I read part of the manga but gave up because I couldn't distinguish the male characters o_O They all look the same to me. Oh, and let's not forget Code Geass! I personally like C.C. because she's green-haired (green is <3) and wears a lot of cute outfits. But why do girls love Lelouch so much? I'm not picking on anyone now, I'd honestly like to be told why people are so obsessed over him! And Sasuke.
Oh well, better not end this on a sad note. I made some avatars from some images and I might make a wallpaper soon too:
That's about it, thank you for the visit and comments, I appreciate it ^_^ *hugs* And since school's starting tomorrow, I won't have too much time on my hands, so sorry if I don't comment on everything you post/submit, it's not my fault! *bows* I do hope I'll be able to not fall behind though ^_^ Bye bye and see you next time, hope you're all doing great!
(Now listening to: Tom Jones - Delilah)

The reason I'm not posting a lot about myself is that nothing much happens. i watch movies, go out with friends and work in PS ._. Not a very exciting life. Last stuff I watched were: Shutter (2004), The Descent and an episode of Lost. This is probably going to sound strange, but I laughed all the time throughout Shutter. It's your typical Asian horror flick, where a guy is haunted by the ghost of the girl. You've seen it all if you've seen The Grudge or The Ring. I've honestly had enough of ghost girls and such, I won't be watching an Asian horror film for a looong time ._.
Alas, a complaint paragraph had to exist, right? Sometimes I feel that some of the works on Minitokyo don't really deserve the...hype they get. Like some vectors getting into the Elite Gallery... I won't name anyone, but let's say that if I made one of the vectors that is currently in the EG, I bet it wouldn't get there. I work hard on my vectors and sometimes it's just unfair to see them ignored... I don't have connections around that place, like others do, so I try to rely only on my skills. It's just that most of the time people prefer to view the works of popular people.
Anyway, let's end this post on a cheerful note :) I made another vector! This time it's a screenshot and it didn't take too long, but it was in my Projects folder and I'm glad I finished it! I have a lot of screenshots on the line and a lot of pics from Let's Make Forbidden Love, this manga I've started reading yesterday :3

I'm currently lacking subjects to discuss in my Creative Paradox, so I'd appreciate it if you can give me tips ^^ I was thinking of writing reviews of anime series I've seen and posting them there, how does that sound?
And one more question before I go: if you could/wanted to write a book/story, what would you write about?
My answer: tee hee, it'd probably be an adventure novel ^^ I've tried to write it (wrote 3 chapters), but I'm not too good at illustrating emotions via writing. Maybe I'll be a film director! *daydreams*
Well, that's it. Stay tuned for more from me! (lol) Thank you, everyone who comes by and leaves a comment, it means a lot to me!

Yaaaay, I'm back~! I missed everyone so much! A big thank you to everyone who left a comment -and you also get a cookie :3-, I love you all! T_T *hugs everyone*
Yeah, I'm lazy right now, so I'll probably make a *real* post tomorrow or the day after that. I'd also like to apologize if I don't get round to seeing works you submitted recently, when I checked the notifications there were a lot and I don't know if I dealt with all of them ._. It's not because I don't want to visit!
(click on the image to go to the wallpaper page)
And some new goodies on the site! I put up a section for Naru Nanao artbook scans, so you can check them out if you wish :) They're all high-res.
As for other projects, I'm working on a lot of wallpapers. I've abandoned some because I simply don't have any ideas for continuing them... If anyone can lend their opinion, please do so. Any help is welcome ^_^ Oh, and if you want to continue some of these walls (the starred ones), ask me and I'll e-mail you the .PSD file (I'm not joking).
1. Akuma na Eros wallpaper - I'm not really stuck on this one because I don't have any ideas, it's because I'm lazy and I'm sick of looking at it XP The background is done, I don't feel like opening the .PSD in Photoshop and turning the group of layers on XD
2. Kaleido Star wallie featuring Anna* - decided to work on this because Anna is an underrated character. Don't feel like continuing the wall. BTW, Anna's fully vectored.
3. Kaleido Star wallie featuring Layla - I have big plans for this one, so this is mine :3 One thing: it'll be red :D
4. Kaleido Star wallie featuring Layla - Also big plans for this one. It's a dual screen one, and I just have to gather the courage to start painting trees again -_- I really don't want to drop this one.
5. Original wallie* - Turned out nothing like I wanted -_-" I don't like the wings and I feel like something's missing, but I don't know what...
6. Sailor Mercury wallie* - I don't have any ideas left for this one, and I can't even bear to look at it -_-
7. Sailor Senshi in toy store wallie - A difficult one. Maybe that's why I keep overlooking it :D I'm going to work more on this...someday ^_^"
8. Sailor Venus wallie - I'm actually happy with how this one is turning out. The background's done but I'm too lazy to make it visible XD After making some modifications to the scan (changed clothes and hair -the hair was "static"), I have some ideas for it... It'll be celestial.
9. Trigun wallie featuring Wolfwood - OK, so I had an idea when I extracted Wolfwood, but now I'm stumped. And just ignore the clouds, I'll make them less crappy if I can ^_^"
And just because I remember how annoying it is to look for something until your eyes bleed in front of the screen, here are the OP and ED of Vampire Knight:
OP: ON/OFF - Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi
ED: Wakeshima Kanon - Still Doll
I'm currently obsessed with the OP, It's one of the est I've heard!
Poll: Do you want a post with OP's and ED's of anime series? Feel free to request one and I'll try to find it for you ^_^
Well this ended up being longer than I imagined O_o I hope it wasn't too long or boring
