I haven't been on DA in the longest time, and now I'm going to try to be around more to upload cosplay photographs of me and my friends. I don't really draw much anymore, and my new love is cosplay, so that's what I'll be putting up from now on.

2010-What a Memorable Year
10 min read
Alright! I promised I'd do this list of best and worst stuff of 2010 and here it is! (albeit a little late...) I hope you enjoy and have fun reading it! Please comment too. I feel like nobody wants to talk to me on here anymore. xD
TOP 10 BEST THINGS OF 2010:
1)The movies. From "The Social Network" to "Black Swan", this was clearly an amazing year for film. Who could forget that epic fight scene in the hotel hallway in "Inception"? Barbie liking Ken's ascot in "Toy Story 3"? And for the love of all things good and pure, Toothless from "How to Train your Dragon" was the best character of the year.
2)The Legend of Korra. I KNOW it's not out till late this year, but that announcement was one of the best things I heard all year! I cannot WAIT until the first hiatus of that show. It'll be like back in 2007 when we all came together on AvatarSpirit and played roleplaying games until we finally had a release date for the 3rd season. Ah...good times.
3) Eminem's comeback! Thank GOD this man is back making good music. I've been listening to him since I was 6 (is that a good thing?) and I missed him so. Here's hoping his Recovery lasts the rest of his life.
4)Going to NYCC and AnimeNext. My first year of conventions and boy, did I have a great time at both. Meeting Puffy Ami Yumi was just pure joy and meeting so many people that have a passion for anime and the like was a really great thing to see. All positive experiences and I will be going back next year to both. IN A HARRY POTTER UNIFORM. Just you watch.
5)Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1. It just made me 35x more excited for Part 2 this year. Second funniest line of the year: "Dobby didn't mean to kill. Only maim....or seriously injure." It's even better when you imagine Dobby saying that to Edward Cullen. RIP Dobby.
6) New My Chemical Romance album. Seriously, this is the best album I have heard in a LONG time. If you don't have it, go out and buy it now! Before I...maim or...seriously injure you.
7) The Bed Intruder Song. You KNOW you loved it. Don't deny it. Antoine Dodson, thank you for giving one of the best news interviews of all time and passing along some VERY valuable information: "Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife, and hide yo' husband, 'cause they rapin' everybody out here." America salutes you.
8) The video games. Call of Duty: Black Ops has finally made me succumb to the whole first person shooter craze. I am now a slave to that game, constantly having to fight off countless dead Nazis in Zombie Mode. And I know that everyone hated Final Fantasy XIII, but I really loved it. It was the first Final Fantasy game that I had the right system to play, so let me enjoy it, damnit!! Star Ocean: The Last Hope is one of the best games I've ever played, and it kept me entertained through all the snow days we had last winter. And if you can get past the creepily horrid "American Accents" of Heavy Rain, the game is really awesome and moving. Plus, those scary French twins are kind of endearing after a bit. Okay...maybe not.
9)Modern Family. Who DOESN'T like that show? I have never laughed at a show's jokes so much since Friends. I want Manny to be my little brother, Cam and Mitchell to be my dads, Phil to be my crazy uncle, and Hailey, Luke, and Alex to be my weird cousins. If you haven't watched it, then I suggest you do. It really IS worth your time.
10)Angry Birds app for iPod touch and iPhone. This is by far the most addicting game I have played. Who doesn't want to shoot angry little birds at pig heads layed out on random blocks? And trust me. You feel NO sympathy for those pigs. They smile whenever you miss them, poking fun at how you keep missing them, causing an intense surge of hatred and making the moment all too sweet when you finally make them meet their demise. They're like that annoying dog in that Duck Hunt game, but like a million times worse. So please feel no guilt for killing them. They asked for it.
Honorable mentions: Glee, Chilean Miner Rescue, and American Idiot on Broadway.
TOP 10 DISAPPOINTMENTS OF 2010
1) The movies. Yes, this year had some amazing movies, but it obviously had some sucky ones. "Sex and the City 2" made Americans look more ignorant than we're already portrayed as being, "The Tourist" was by FAR the most boring movie of the year, and why the hell was "Clash of the Titans" even released in 3D for? That is a question I will never get the answer to...As for the trainwreck, "The Last Airbender"....
2) "The Last Airbender". Yeah yeah, I know this should be considered in the movies category, but I had been looking forward to this movie for 3 years. 3 FRIGGEN YEARS. From the irritating pronounciations of the character names, to Aang's new emo outlook on life, to Zhao's crazed obsession with 'secret libraries', this movie was just an epic fail with a capital E and F. Why Shyamalan, why? I was like the only person who had respect for you until you released this crap! But perhaps he should pursue a career in comedy writing, because Zuko's line, "BRING ME YOUR ELDERLY!", was the funniest moment in a movie all year.
3) Missing out on meeting Giancarlo Volpe at NYCC. God that sucked. That man is AWESOME. If only I was an avid fan of The Green Lantern...
4) Bieber fever is still going strong. God, what have I done so wrong that you are eternally punishing me by forcing me to hear about every aspect of this child's life?? Why must girls my age love him so much? Why is he dating Selena Gomez??? It all screams BRAIN WASHING to me.
5) Flashforward being cancelled. Why was this show cancelled? Why did they end in a cliffhanger? Were they unable to make a final episode before it was cancelled? Were they trying to make me round up an angry mob? Is it all part of some glorious plan to bring it back on? Was it a warning to tell us that the whole world was going to pass out for 3 and a half minutes and see our futures? Why am I asking so many questions? Are they trying to make me watch Lost?
6)The new Linkin Park album. What were you thinking LP? Your new style sucks. I don't care if it's a concept album, the music should at least be semi-catchy. Besides "The Catalyst" and "Blackbirds", there was nothing particularly eye catching about this album. It was just a big pile of BLAHH. Maybe they should work on a Meteora 2...
7)American Idol. God, that show bombed majorly this year. I KNEW things were gonna be awful when Paula left. Where would we get our weekly dose of crazy, besides watching an episode of the Real Housewives? Ellen did not mesh as well with the other judges either. Particularly Simon. I'm surprised those two didn't attack each other by the finale. Plus, the contestants were as boring as watching paint dry. They need to stop plucking their guitars every chance they get and maybe work on their singing because, y'know last time I checked, American Idol is a SINGING competition. Not a "Oh look at me, I'm a sensitive singer song-writer type and I can play my guitar like Taylor Swift. Go me!" competition. If it was, Simon would've left ages ago. Speaking of Simon, now that he's gones, there's now way the show will ever be the same. Idol may only have a few years left before it goes KAPUT.
8) Project Runway. The show wasn't particularly bad or anything, but really, adding an extra 30 minutes to a show that's already an hour long? Does Lifetime think we just sit by our tvs all day with a box of twinkies and watch every program available to man mindlessly? Hopefully not. And the contestants keep getting "Eh"-ier by the season. Sure, Casanova was a riot, and I loved Mondo's wacky persona and that Hawaiian kid that made it to the finale as well, but when it came down to it, they picked a bland, clothes for "the every woman" designer like they've been doing lately. And was I the only one that thought she was very reminiscent of Leanne from Season 5? They both are from Oregon...it's like Oregon just pops out shy, underappreciated, slightly nerdy people left and right. I want my old Project Runway back, and I want it now. I miss you Santino.
9) This whole 3D craze. It's annoying, alright? Maybe I DON'T want to see everything in 3D. Especially when the 3D is virtually non-existant. Here's looking at you "Clash of the Titans" and Airbender. The 3D effects in most movies don't add any more depth to the storytelling and the glasses hurt my poor eyes. I pretty much watched half of "Tron" with them half hanging off my face so I wouldn't throw up in my chair. If they're gonna keep this 3D nonsense around, then can they PLEASE make it so I don't have to wear glasses anymore??
10)Playstation Move. I should've seen this coming. It looked like a suspicious rip off of the Wii from when they first started releasing info of it. I will admit, the glowy ball thingy at the top of the controller makes it pretty awesome to look at, but that's the only thing that makes it better than the Wii. I guess the Move may be more precise than the Wii and use better graphics, but it's just not...fun to me. I dunno, maybe I outdid my fascination with motion control stuff back in 2006 when I would stay up till 3 AM playing my new Wii. Or maybe the games that are out for it plain suck. I think it's a combination of both. Sure, controlling a guy on rolling on an office chair down the streets of Tokyo sounds fun at first in that game whose name I forget, but after playing 2 levels or so, it just feels like a gimmick. And I don't care what they say, that EyePet...THING is just plain creepy. What is it anyway? Some kind of monkey cat-dog hybrid creature? It was attacking my dog on the television screen! It's clearly derranged. And they intended this game for children?
Honorable mentions: Final Season of Oprah, Atelier Rorona for PS3, and Shrek 4.
So, any comments you liked to share? Loved it, disagreed with it, want to find me and murder me it? Do share!

Omg, I'm so sorry I haven't been on in 2 months. I've been so busy. :/ And I still will be busy for the next few days or so. Once all the hectic..ness is over, I promise I will take the time to reconnect with all of you.
I'm writing this very quick message to wish you all a VERY merry Christmas!!!!~
I'm sorry for no new drawings...I have a whole bunch of stuff to put up when I have time though.
To make you happy, I will upload a picture of myself in case any of you guys ever wondered what I look like. It's not much to look at to be frank.
If you guys want a laugh during the holiday season watch the new Llamas with Hats video!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJixW2…
Or just watch Elf. You can never go wrong with Elf. "You're not Santa, you smell like beef and cheese!!!" BEST. LINE. EVER.
Not much else to say. Closer to New Year's (when I have time again), I think I'm gonna do a long entry talking about all the best and worst of 2010. It'll just be a little fun thing to read and comment on.
Talk to you all soon!!! (hopefully!)

New York Comic Con and Still Being Alive
5 min read
Well, I'm so sorry to everyone for not being on in like....3 weeks or so...I've just been so busy with school and whatnot. And I've gotten...er...reacquainted with Facebook, so that's slowly sucking my life away as well, and I seem to never have time for any other website now. 
I promise I'll try to be more present on here. I mean, I have like 4,000 messages. Oh I'm sorry, 4,077 to be exact. Exciting, exciting.
So school has been going at a crawl. I hate gym, just as I had predicted. No other problems besides that. Well, that and the fact that I ALWAYS fall asleep on the bus in morning, but that's not really much of a problem I guess. XD
The two drawings I did while on vacation are kinda just lying around unfinished because of school. But I'll find a way to finish them, I promise. Just bear with me.
SO, now on to bigger announcements, I WENT TO NEW YORK COMIC CON!!!!
It was AMAZING, ....and crowded. Haha me and
wore lolita kimonos. It was SO awkward riding the ferry into the city because all the "normal" people were just staring and pointing at us. Then a Misty cosplayer boarded the boat and made everything better. We stayed there almost the whole day, and got autographs from Puffy Ami Yumi and Kanon, the bassist of An Cafe. I also got the autograph of the guy that did the character designs for Kim Possible and Danny Phantom. I was so happy. 
Me and 's moms both fangirl screamed over the fact that the original Incredible Hulk actor was standing right in front of them, and I fainted when I saw that Square Enix had it's own giant booth to buy things and play all their new games. I still can't believe the amount of vendors and artists at the artist alley there were. The loyal dedication of fans was definitely something to admire here. Everyone was totally pumped to be there. We also got to see Stan Lee, like the creator of Marvel, I think, XD and all kinds of cartoonists and celebs. We saw lots of epic cosplayers. The attention to detail some of them had was incredible, and they were all so kind in letting me photograph them to show their awesomeness to the rest of the world. EVERYONE, attendees, people working there, and vendors were so nice and funny. The time would pass so quickly when you were waiting in line because there were plenty of friendly and awesome people to talk to. Even the press people were friendly. XD I could NOT have asked for a more perfect day. The only negative thing I'd have to say is that it was definitely way over crowded due to the fact that the Comic Con and Anime Festival were put together this year. I mean people were sitting on the floor, and the vendor's section was also the autograph section, which made that area even more hectic, especially the anime vendor's section which was squished together in a small corner; I could barely breathe while walking there. Oh well. xD I wish we could've gotten into one of Square Enix's panels, but the line was soooo long, there was no way we'd get in. Unfortunately we also couldn't stay for the Masquarade, seeing as we had to get back home to New Jersey, but STILL the day was just pure awesomeness with an extra side of epic. If you went, or know somebody who went, please tell me. I'd be genuinely interested to know.
Some of the artists I met at the Artist Alley have Deviantart accounts, so I'd like to give some much deserved credit to them.
She's amazing and creates handmakes figurines.
:icon-amaya-: Her drawn Dir En Grey posters and other beautiful artwork had in tears of joy.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get the cards of the other artists I spoke with, and some people don't have DA's, so here's the links to their websites:
HipHopCandy- They make all kinds of handmade bath and body stuff, candles, chapstick, jewelry, and so forth. I bought their Vanilla Peach chapstick. www.hh-candy.com
JellyKoe- They make character pillows that just make you want to squeeze them. www.jellykoe.com
SquireSword- They make miniature standup cardboard cutouts (if that's the right material) of all kinds of characters. I bought the Haruhi Suzumiya one. www.squiresword.com
I will post all my pictures of the Con on here for everyone to see. I hope everyone who went had just as much of an awesome time as we did, and is planning on attending next year. ~♥

Well, I survived my first week. Yay. It really wasn't bad. In fact, I quite enjoyed it, besides gym class. I'm going to LOATHE my gym class. I just know it.
Before I say anything more, I must turn your attention to a new deviant. She is one of my best friends. She is the one and only ALAZNE!!!!!!!! Please, please, PLEASE check out her art. She's new to the site and would appreciate some love. *whispers* She's really good too, so don't worry about having to lie through your teeth. xD Her profile:
Well, now that that's all water under the bridge, I can get on with my posting.
I will tell you 10 things about me you probably don't know...or if you've actually been reading my journals, you might already know:
1) I am a sophomore in high school, but people think I'm fresh out of college. I got asked if I wanted a drinking pass at a concert and I was let through hospital security when you had to be 18 or older to get in. I guess I just look OLD. I can't wait to see how that'll work out for me in the next 30 years...
2)Have you ever been mis-stereotyped? I get it sometimes. Because of my hair, some people think I'm emo. I swear I'm not. I'm a delightfully cheerful and sarcastic person. It's more of a joke with my friends, but some people actually think I am! I don't cut myself, and I don't write depressing poems in my room alone. I went through a goth phase in 6th grade, but well, that's another story. So, do me a favor, and NEVER CALL ME EMO. That is all. ^_^
3) I am obsessed with movies. Seriously. I love, love, LOVE them. Best director ever=Alfred Hitchcock. That man is a GENIUS. I want to be like him someday... xD I think directing is the only thing I'd ever be decent at.
4) I'm a gaming fanatic. I'm sure you can tell. Ps3 is the shizzle, my friend. I love RPGs especially Japanese ones, but I've recently gotten into shooters as well. Is that good or bad? Haha. But seriously people, nobody says n00b and pwn all the time during online gaming. Only when we're off duty. And video games are not increasing violence in America. The rise in stupidity is.
5) I'm very into my music too. I love artists of all different genres. I'm always open to music suggestions, so feel free to tell me about a new band or singer you think is good. I'll be sure to check them out.
6) I've been to various different countries, like France, Mexico, DR, etc. Traveling is AMAZING. I love experiencing different cultures. It gives me inspiration.
7) I don't really like talking about my feelings with people. My friends say it's unhealthy and if I don't talk about them they'll just continue to bottle up inside, and well, maybe they're right. But I feel like I can let my emotions out through art. Whether it be sketching something, watching a great film, or writing, I can always let my feelings go through art. But I promise you that I will always be here for you if you need to talk. I like hearing people's problems and giving advice. I just don't like talking about my own. xD
8) I collect movie ticket stubs. Just thought I'd let you all know.
9) I have 2 dogs, a Shih Tzu named Bijou and a Yorkshire Terrier named Cocoa. They are the two best friends I could ever have wished for. xD Plus, they're hilarious to watch bicker with each other. Yes, they "bicker". I swear, they're like an old married couple.
10) Wow, I wonder how many people have made it this far? Well, the last thing you should know about me is that I'm really good at imitating voices and accents. I'm amazing at Indian accents, especially King Julian from Madagascar. French is a close second. xD I'm getting there with British. As for voices, I'm good at imitating my friends, and cartoon characters and such. It's a lame talent, I know, but it's all I got ok? Just this and funny. It's all I got.
Some random things that are occupying my thoughts right now:
1) I just re-bonded with an old friend through our love of gaming. It's strange, the way this world works. xD
2) I diagnosed myself with OCD online Thursday night. So yay! I have a mental condition!
Well, that's all for now! If you've read this, I envy you. Even I wouldn't read this long thing!

Before I say anything more, I must turn your attention to a new deviant. She is one of my best friends. She is the one and only ALAZNE!!!!!!!! Please, please, PLEASE check out her art. She's new to the site and would appreciate some love.
*whispers* She's really good too, so don't worry about having to lie through your teeth. xD Her profile: Well, now that that's all water under the bridge, I can get on with my posting.
I will tell you 10 things about me you probably don't know...or if you've actually been reading my journals, you might already know:
1) I am a sophomore in high school, but people think I'm fresh out of college. I got asked if I wanted a drinking pass at a concert and I was let through hospital security when you had to be 18 or older to get in. I guess I just look OLD. I can't wait to see how that'll work out for me in the next 30 years...
