Daily Entry Thingy the Fourth: Writing, and when you can't think of anything. :(

 So, the title to this may sound a little counterintuitive(<-Sp???), but stands for itself. As I've mentioned, I like to write. (Or, at least, I HOPE I mentioned it. XD) Anywho, I find that, on occasion, I develope what is commonly referred to as Writers Block. (I just call it annoying. XP XD) For me, the problem can persist for days, for no discernable reason at all. And, for me, as far as I've noted, there's no way to stop it. :/ It just....happens, and the only choice I'm left with is to ride it out. Which is a sad day. :( That's what I'm facing as I write this. :(

Daily Entry part duex?! XD : Entering contests, and the things you can learn playing Scavenger Hunt.

So, I know I've mentioned, quite a lot, that I'm getting a filofax. (Woot! XD) Well, I found Imysworld  (OK, my friend pointed her out to me. Thank you!!!!), and she's having a contest for stationary give-aways and what not! XD So, I finally decided to enter. :) It was fun, and, as childish as this sounds, almost like a huge Scavenger Hunt. XD Ahahaha!!!! XD I found something she said really interesting, though. She was talking about something called Androgen Insensitivity, which means, VERY basically, that she is feminine, and, presumably, a woman, but has male chromozomes. It was very interesting, because I have something called Turner Syndrome. www.tssus.org <- They've got lot's of info. :3 But, Turner Syndrome can only be developed by women, and what happens is the secondary sex chromozome (AKA, the whole XX, XY thing you learned in high school bio. XD), doesn't form, or if it does, it's only partially formed. For example, I have what's referred to as genetic mosaicism, which means I have X partial X, X and no X, XX, and XY(<- Which are lovingly referred to as my boy bits. lol! XD). (My genes decided to throw a party, I guess. XD) Anyways, what  that means is that, because the second sex chromozome is jiggered, there's a tendency to be short, and not develope secondary sex characteristics. (IE; Boobs, hips, etc.) Also, women with Turners tend to have amenorrhea, and, in cases like mine, must have their ovaries and flopian tubes, such as they may be, removed, because of an increased risk of gonadal blastoma. (Ovarian cancer) As such, reproduction in the usual way is usually impossible. (I mean they can't produce their own eggs. There, that one. XP) Also, because the second sex chromozome is tied to the heart and height gene, women with Turner's are at a higher risk for heart problems, and are usally a lot shorter then their peers. (Growth Hormone Therapy can kinda of fix that. :) ) But, it was just really interesting, because, while I understand clinically that there is surely more then ONE type of disorder like Turners, it was mind blowing to actually hear about it.

Daily Entry Thingy the Third: The Sketchbook Project.

 So, I like to draw. Or, rather, ATTEMPT to draw. >.> :)  Well, eventually I learned about this thing, called The Sketchbook Project. The idea is that you spend about $20-30 dollars for the basic stuff, and they send you the sketchbook. It's supper cute! <3 XD But, I digress. Anywho, the idea is you have about a year to fill this thing, with whatever you want: Sketches, pictures, poems, and the like. Then you send it back to them, and it goes on tour. :) BUT, you have to pick a theme, from a list of provided themes. :3 ^_^ You can deviate from that theme, but, overall, it's supposed to deal with your chosen theme. XD <-(For whatever reason, I can never spell chosen right. o.O XD) So, I was like: "Wow, that sounds like a LOT of fun! I wanna try this!" And when I got paid, I signed myself and a friend up for it. :) Then....she started showing me youtube videos. ....>.> Now I'm not so sure it was a good idea. XP XD The people I saw just have SO much talent! (Seriosuly, they were AMAZING!) So, I haven't made a whole lot of progress on it. XP I think, though, that I'm gonna start trying to work on it.

(So, this the Sketchbook. I would have put a blank one, but...>.> I didn't take a picture of it then. XD)

 

(This is the cover now. :) My theme is "Say Words Out Loud", so my book is called "Words to say".)

 

 

So, that's what the Sketchbook Project is about! <3 ^_^ If you like, check'em out at www.sketchbookproject.com . :)

Daily Entry Thingy the second! XD: Fanime, and my Filofax I don't have yet! XD

 So, this one's gonna be about two things! (WHA?! Naiwa!!! XD)
 First thing: Fanime. :3 Like I said, I'm kind of a nerd deep down (By which I mean surface level XD), and most of my friends are as well. Well, I was talking to a friend, (Different then the one I'll be mentioning later, but I won't name drop. :3), and we ended up talking about Comi-con. XD If you've seen American Dad, when Steve and Roger talk about doing stuff, then you can kinda picture how that conversation went, only, over facebook, and with a LOT of capslock. XD Anywho, we're like: "OMG, I CAN'T WAIT!!! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!!" So, I decided to go as Edward Elric, from Full Metal Alchemist, and Toph Bei Fong from Avatar, The Last Airbender. (Hopefully, everyone knows who they are. o.O XD) Well, a couple of days later, she gets in contact with me.
 "J.A.S., we've got a problem."
 I was like: o.O "And what's that?"
 "Well, have a look," she says, then sends me a link. I clicked the link, and it lead to the Fanime Convention Website.
 "OK....what am I looking at?" I ask.
 "Hold on, hold on," she says, and sends me ANOTHER link. This time, the link is to the Comi-con Website. After a couple of minutes, I fold.
 "OK, what am I looking at?" I ask again.
 "Our options."
 "Options? Wha-?"
 "The other site, Fanime, is another convention."
 "o.O OK, I gathered as much. Proceed."
 "Right. This convention, though, is FOR anime and manga. It's in San Jose, and it looks like it's going to be a little cheaper. So, the choice is this: Do we stick to the Comi-con, or do we go to Fanime instead?"
 And that pretty much brings us to now. XD So, we're going, and I want to go as Ed from FMA, and fire-nation Toph. (I have a fondness for Toph. XD) The problem becomes saving the money, and *glance, glance* getting the costumes. XP XD I can't sew, and I'm not gonna embarrass myself to soothe my ego. But yeah, that'll be fun! I'll keep you all updated on that! ^_^

 Second thing: My filofax! (That I don't have yet. >.> XD) So, I'm getting a filofax (Personal, Amazona, Almond) from a friend. (I REALLY gotta give my friends names. XP XD). I'm pretty excited, cause this is the same friend who's been getting me interested in her own hobbies and interests (Ex:, Blogging. XD), and I've seen the filofax: It's a beautiful color and style! XD Plus, I think having some organization in my life will be a positive thing. :) In theory, anyways. XD But not only is she NOT charging me out the nose for it (Hooray for friends! XD ^_^ <3), she doesn't seem to mind selling it to me, and waiting until I can pay for it! XD Ah, it is a charmed life that I lead. XD ^_^ So, SUPER excited for that to happen! ^_^

 (OK, I lie, last thing: The weather. -_- The weather here right now is so lame. -_- It's one of those days that makes you feel like you can't do anything, ya know? *yawn* This is gonna take a while. T_T ) ((Started at about 1:50-ish. Ended at 2:55. >.> That took a while. XD))

Daily Entry....ish. o.O XD

Soo....I wanted to kinda explain about my backround on my blog. :3 It's a picture of Crona and Death the Kid, from Soul Eater. I found it on google, and, for some reason, really loved it! (So, if the person who made that picture ever see's this: Good job, sorry for not crediting you properly, and I TOTALLY love this picture! <3) Anyways, when I found it, I thought it was very well drawn, and decided to save it. ^_^; The idea of pairing Crona and Kid hadn't even occured to me, and I'm not QUITE sure what it is about the pairing that makes me so happy. :3 ^_^ One of my friends thinks it should be Maka and Crona, but I disagree: Maka is suppossed to end up, in my opinion, with Soul. So, Crona and Kid. :3

So sweet!!!!<3 <3 <3

 

Anyways...>.> That's my opinion on that. :) Hmmm......it occurs to me that I'd be posting about my snake, probably, were he not deceased. XP Well, I'll work on this whole, talking about one thing and not rambling thing. ^_^

 So, yeah. >.> This is my first blog and stuff. XD Honestly, I'm not sure what to do with these, so I guess I'll just make some back round noise and talk. Ummm....I LOVE anime and manga and cartoons. (Yes, I'm a little childish) XD Right now, my favorite anime's are Soul Eater, Black Butler, and Angel Beats. My favorite manga's are Fruits Basket (Say what you will, it was AWESOME!), Black Butler (>.> Again. XD), and Full Metal Alchemist. EEEEEDDDDDDD!!!!! XD And Alphonse! XD So, more often then not, probably, my blogs will probably in some form or another deal with something like that. Sorry if that's annoying. ^_^; (Also, I apologize. For, like, EVERYTHING. -_- It's an illness. XD I kid, I kid! XD) Ummm....yeah. I actually suffer, overall, from pretty low self-esteem. (I don't care much about that, though. XD) So, normally, I don't really think I'd do stuff like this. But, I made a friend, and she keeps converting me into her hobbies. XD lmao! Indie makeup, Filofaxes (Yes, if you were hoping for a reprieve from them, I'm gonna have to dissappoint. XD Sorry! <3 XD), and, most recently, blogging. Not sure how good I'll be at this, but, hey, try always new things, right? ^_^ Actually, I LOVE writting, and, as a rule, have pretty good grammar and spelling. :) I don't think I'd make a career out of it, 'cause I don't usually have any ideas for it. XD Which is sad, but yeah. Also, don't know if you can tell, but I'm not a fan of paragraphs. XD Hmmm.......well....>.> That ended fast. XD Uh, but yeah. I guess I'll try to update daily, or something. ^_^ Feel free to ignore: Like I said, just me makin' back round noise. ^_^
