I had a dream about my mom's cats that I am babysitting.

I had a strange dream that involved the removal of cat heads. And taking the heads off didn't end their lives, strangely I knew it wouldn't hurt them (I could never hurt my babies!). I had some special feline biology insight or health knowledge. I knew I had the power to heal animals. There wasn't any blood and I don't have blood in my dreams, ya know?

So there they were, two cute little cat heads on the floor looking up at me, still alive with those big cat eyes that can stare you down. I knew I have only a short amount of time to heal them and I was working my earthly magic as I woke up. Weird. I can see them in my mind as clear as a picture.

First of all, great news! At least for me, that is: in consideration of students who were enrolled late, and those who were given access to the online classes even later, the deadline for my homeworks were pushed back to January 26! \o/

And I swear, I was going crazy. I felt like going out and shooting some puppies if I didn't DRAW. And hell, I did. Too many art muses clogging my brains, so I settled for sketches, filtering out what I'd want to spend more time on when I'm in a better state of mind.

WARNING -- PG is up for hinted male nudity.



I figured some of my flist may need some cheering up, so I hope these little pieces made you guys smile, as much as they did for me.

Here's to a great rest-of-the-week!

And now I head to bed. @_@

I had this dream a while ago and wrote it down while at work one day. . .forgetting to actually post it. So here it is. Feelings and emotions played a big part in this dream. Fear be the strongest.

I was walking outside in the city. I felt very alone and nervous. There weren't cars driving around, only parked off to the side, and there wasn't anyone walking around. Just me. Yet I felt scared. I got about a block before suddenly stopping and looking over my shoulder. There was a man following me. Dirty clothes, shaggy hair, brown, and overall plain looking. He was saying something to me, but I don't know what. I kept shaking my head and telling him to go away. We sounded like we were talking under water. Everything was clouded.

He continued to come closer, I only took a step back. I don't know why, but in the dream I was very afraid of him. I wanted to find my phone and call for help. Reaching into my pocket I find that I am carrying a gun in my pocket. My dream changes perspectives as I see myself from the side, drawing the handgun out and holding it out, pointing it at the man. It changes and shows me from the man's perspective having the gun pointing at him. Then I go back and see things form my perspective. I took a slow deep breath, he begs for his life, starting to bring up his hands, and I pull the trigger.

There is a loud gunshot that breaks through that "water-silence". I hit the man dead center of his forehead and everything goes to slow motion as he whips his head back and falls over dead.

It slowly dawns on me what I have done. Bringing down the gun and looking at it, it becomes a box in the shape of a gun. It feels very light and empty, I am shaking, and trying to tell myself to slowly walk away and not look guilty. I turn and head off, taking the first alley I come to and just walking. I can hear sirens, but I don't look back. As I exit the alley, I see I am by a parking garage. I hear people suddenly and so I begin to run. I hear myself breathing hard and soon news reports begin to echo through my head.

This AMV makes me so happy. I love it. ♥ There are a lot of well done edits in it and the music is awesome.

I have lunch plans today, so no Baccano! for me today.

Sit down, Squeenix. We're having a talk.

No, no don't get all concerned, I'm still throwing my money at your stupid games. Even the ones whose plots and character designs still look really dumb to me.

This talk is about something else. It's about, well, Cid, of all things! Yes, one of your old, simple, and often overlooked staples. About something that shouldn't make people concerned at all. But here we are, I suppose, so I'll continue. Cids are great. They occupy a special place in my heart, though to be fair I don't think the Oglop or Robin Williams look-alike Cids are invited there. But I've forgiven you guys for those two, because on a whole, Cids are great.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't about you guys innovating your Cids. XII had two Cids. We've had a variety of Cids over the years, and the difference between them make them fun. No one is going to assume that VI and VII Cid are the same guy, in any way! But you see, there's innovation and then theres, ahem, this. Squeenix, there are acceptable limits to this. We both know this.

This? This, Squeenix, is not a Cid. I shouldn't have to tell you guys this, but apparently you've taken it that far, and now I must.

Just give him some charming other name and we can both be happy and on our way. And I can stop this dirty feeling every time I look at him and catch myself wanting to lick my screen.

I'm attracted to these terrible things.

( YAY OR NAY )

Asshole coworker was a no-show.

I'm at work right now!


I might wind up working like a damned dog until at least the first week of January. If I get any time off it'll be a goddamned miracle.


Fffffff.

...now we have 11.













DAMN IT I HATE PEOPLE SO FUCKING MUCH.

The story behind this kitten is disturbingly simple. A girl found a kitten on Halloween night. It was too young to be away from its mother and they took care of it. Apparently the mother has three cats and can't afford to feed four of them. (wut) So she told her daughter (15) to find it a new home or she'd throw it outside. So a month passes. There are no takers. My mom's friend has eleven cats already, two with severe conditions so they have to be kept in their own rooms. She calls my mom in desperation because it's fucking December and this lady is going to toss a skinny kitten into fucking western New York winter.

My mom picks it up and the daughter is upset because she developed an attachment to this kitten for a fucking month and it literally came down to give it away or kill it.

I don't know who this lady is.

I'm sure people say she's a great person.

But she will only ever be fucking scum in my book for the rest of my damn life.

Merry Christmas, kid. Love, your trashbag mom.

I have been trying to do this take home test for math for the past five hours and I've gotten absolutely nowhere. I'm getting a zero. all my hard work, all my extra credit, wasted because I don't understand one tiny little concept. ONE short little lesson and there goes everything I've worked for all semester.

so in addition to failing english because I'm a jackass and didn't withdraw early enough, I'm going to squeak by my easy-A class with a fucking D. my 4.0 gpa? fuck it. gone. forever. i'm another 2.0 just like every other idiot around me. i'm gonna look like a fucking moron because of this fucking class. fucking c average. average. fucking average. i'm fucking average.

I've never felt stupider or more useless in my entire life. ha. and to think I was thinking about changing my major to math.

i suppose it's mean spirited to hope I go in there tomorrow and everyone else is as stupid as I am but whatever. at least that would mean it's not just me.

I've been enjoying Baccano! and now I can say I am hooked after episode 7. Have a random bad-ass scene from it: ( Yay, blood )

I know this is just flat colours, but any and all attempts to shade in highlights and make it not look like roadkill defeated me time and time again >.>;; But at least there's a colour reference now?




Yes, he's quite pale. There's no arguing with him >.>;;

I just totally failed my Logic final.

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

I knew the damn rules, I swear I did. But the second the paper landed in front of me they all left, and I was stuck staring at a problem I knew how to do, going, "...shit."

For two straight hours. Hoping that they'd come back to me. They didn't.

Oh... man.

Most kids fail at least one class in their lifetime, right? Right. So, this is mine.

Next quarter, I have all English classes.

I will kill it, next quarter. All A's, here I come.


...shit.

I'm still alive. Just been kickin it on Facebook. XDD;;

Pet Society is addicting, yo.

I asked for more questions. This time from taichara. Partly because I was curious to know what hamster would ask~ ♥

1. What other Gundam series (aside from G00) do you like or dislike? (or plan to watch/not watch, whichever)
Well I do enjoy G-Gundam a lot. But out of all the other franchises I have seen, I have to say I really enjoy After War Gundam X. I would like to finish watching that someday. I dislike Gundam Wing and to sum up why, it's frustrating and mind-numbing. I plan on watching at some point Gundam SEED ( is the reason you asked this to get me to admit this? ;3 ) and I would like to finish watching what I can of G-Savior. X3 I want to be G-Savior's only fan! ( I only got to see a small part of it because "G-Savior doesn't exist." ) I don't plan on watching any of the other UC timeline, however. After watching the first movie of UC Gundam and wanting those two hours of my life back. . .I think I will avoid the rest.

2. Would you ever try to watch Pretty Guardian Sailormoon?
I have watched a couple of episodes! I think I have seen the first two with a friend of mine. I would watch more if I was watching it with someone. . .not sure if it is a show that I would actually make an effort to watch on my own. It's different. I don't like what they do with Luna.

3. How often do you get to find out nifty things, working at the news? :3
Well. X3 My chances to find out nifty things has died down a bit now that I sit in with sales. But the second floor is open up to the newsroom and I sit close enough that I do hear bits and pieces. It helps that everyone here are gossips. So any nifty things that are found out, stories or drama or anything really. . .pretty much everyone will hear about it at some point. I think about every other week I am hearing a juicy tidbit or story. When I worked in production, it was more often. :3 The news doesn't tell you everything. ;3 And working in it, we see and hear a lot more.

4. Is there something -- fandom or otherwise -- you currently really want to draw?
Oh dear. The simple answer is "Yes. There is something I really want to draw right now." There are a lot of things. Let's LJ cut for length. ;3 ( Down the rabbit hole )

5. Why are you a bunneh?
Ah! I like this question. :3 Different than, "How did you come up with 'Anibunny'?" I thought they were fun and easy to draw and it was kind of my doodle I would do without thinking. I simply drew them everywhere. X3;; I covered the white board in my art class at high school with probably 30 or 40 bunnies once when the teacher was late. I would sneak them on to other white boards around school. It started out as what I would doodle when bored and later became a game of "Where can I hide it the bunny?"

I've been having some dreams recently. Most have been silly, one was very nice, but two specifically have a related theme.

Last night and the night before, I've had two dreams that dealt with the idea of "running away".

The night before, a former coworker of mine showed up and he asked me if I wanted to runaway with him to Virginia. I agreed and we stole my work's SST truck and made an effort to do so.

Last night I had a dream I was at my parents house. My dad comes in with a box of things and looks mighty upset. I asked if it was something to do with mother and he nods to me. I hurry over to him and ask if he will runaway with me. That we could leave mother and be done with all this.

I'm taking it as a sign that I must not runaway right now. No matter how much I want to and no matter whoever wants me to. I think I know what it is dealing with, and I don't mean with what I am going to write about next. Ha ha ha.

( Bills! Cut for length. )

MY HOUSE.

BECAUSE I AM THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE.

5 Questions Meme

-Comment with "Resistance is Futile!""Athruuuun ~!" "Kiiiira ~!"
-I'll reply with 5 questions to satisfy my curiosity.
-Update your LJ with the answers
-Include this explanation (if you like or want) to ask other people.

Asked by anibunny:

1. If you could change anything to the Utena story (anime series), what would it be and why?

I'd have to make it a little more blindingly obvious that Akio is as much of a victim (if not more) as any other character in the series, since fandom as a whole seems to have a serious case of Not Getting It.


2. What's your favorite anime/game-related item you own? (To make it a little easier, let's say not including any print materials. X3)

Yay no print materials! X3 *sporfles* Hm ... *thinkthink* My Myth figure for Gemini Saga :D

(... 99.9% of my fandom stuff is print materials X3)


3. What was the first fandom you got involved in and was it a good or bad experience?

I suppose by this that would mean online? Sailormoon. It was more of a not good or bad learning experience; a few points of disagreement, posted fic, talked to people. Seems they're fucking insane now though, so I can't go back >.>;;


4. What's one of your favorite memories?

Getting to the Metropolitain Museum of Art in New York City -- and seeing so many pieces in the Egyptian galleries that I'd been reading about almost literally all my life :3


5. What's something you really like about where you live?

*splorfs* Erm ... hm. The city is big enough that I can find things like comic shops and the like, but still small enough that it has trees in it. And I can still see ocean, even if I daren't touch it.
