I made a new layout. You like it? I saw the image on the official Dirge of Cerberus site, and I had to make a layout out of it. It took me so long to extract the image from the background because of all the rips and tears in his cape. The other thing that took a lot of time and patients was the coding. I had some troubles with the modules, and they still aren't exactly as I'd like them. I really want to get the game, but I think I'll wait and ask for it on my birthday, which coincidentally is the same day ad Vincent Valentimes [the guy on the banner for people who haven't played FF7].

Online/ Gaming
What's to say? I've been playing with my Gameboy Advance a lot because a week or so ago, I bought The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. I wish the Nintendo DS could play Gameboy Color games, that way I could sell my Gameboy Advance. Well, anyway, back to the point. The game is really fun, but I find myself thinking a lot more than I had to for the Oracle of Seasons. So far, I've had a lot of fun, and one could say that I'm obsessed. I drew a picture from the manga, and then I colored it, and it came out so well. It's the best picture that I've done digitally. It took anywhere from 5 to six hours all together.

{[[T.H.R.O.U.G.H...T.H.E...A.G.E.S]]}

This brings me to my next point. I've mainly been on deviantArt lately. I've actually just cleared 1000 pageviews! For anyone who would like to see the rest of my gallery, you can check it out right here.

As for Gaiaonline, I haven't really been on there much. I'm saving up my money there so I can buy some rare items. I really want a Kiki, but other rare items will do.

Real Life
Not much has really gon on around here. At the antique festival, I was able to make $80 over the three days I was a waiter. I would've made more, but I had to donate some to these kids, and on the last day, no one sat at my tabe during lunch. I ended up putting $30 in the bank for "later" as my mom calls it.

I went shopping yesterday. At American Eagle, I bought 4 pairs of jeans, and two shirts. I really like what I got, especially the jeans. After that, we went to Macy's, but all they had was crap, and the few things that I did like were wayyyy to expensive.

That's all my fingers can bear to type for now. Remember, I love comments.

I know that I've neglected this thing, but I'm updating, aren't I? I've decided to seperate this entry into two sections-- Online/Gaming and Home. That way, you won't be confused at what I'm talking about.

Online/Gaming
Well, I joined this awesome place called Gaia Online. You may have heard of it or possible have an account there. It's a place where you can basically do anything. You can customize your character, furnish your house, or just talk in the forums. They also have a profile system that works like Myspace, but people don't really use them. I worked for such a long time to figure out how to code my layout, and I finally have it... sorta... Well, anyway, if you join and want to add me to your friends, my username is RisingChaos666.

I've also been posting a whole lot on my deviantArt. The first picture is a fanart of "Chobits". It's Chii's sister, Freya, and I chose to make it look more like a painting than most of my other works. I'm pretty-much satisfyed with it, but her hair doesn't really please me.

{[[F.R.E.Y.A]]}

As for the second piece, it's just a little compilation of some doodles I've made. That's about all there is to say for that.

{[[C.O.M.P.I.L.A.T.I.O.N...#.1]]}

The third picture is just a self portrait of myself for my deviantArt front page. I was experimenting with soft-cell shading, but I think it turned out in a normal cell style.

{[[S.E.L.F...P.O.R.T.R.A.I.T]]}

Next, I have some Advent Children fanart. it's Cloud, Kadaj, and Sephiroth. I think I should've put Cloud in the center to balance out the grey hair of Seph and Kadaj. Again, I was experimenting with a different ay to color it.

{[[T.H.E...R.E.U.N.I.O.N]]}

And lastly, I have some fanart of Cloud on his snowboard from that minigame at the beginning of disc two. I was just having some fun doodling with this and decided to color it in.

{[[C.L.O.U.D.'.S...W.I.N.T.E.R...V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N]]}

As for future art, expect some Zelda Fanart as well as some requests of Final Fantasy fanart.

Home
My life at home is pretty dull. Tensions are high at my house, so I guess that's why I've been drawing so much. I need something to do to take my mind off everything. I pretend that everything is okay although I know very well that it's not.

On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I'm going to be a waiter at this antique show that my town has every year. The only reason I voulenteered was because I'll get tips from the customers. Oh yeah, and I get all the free icecream, cake, and soda that I want. That's always a plus. I'm just nervous that I'll drop someone's food on them. I'm clumsey like that.

I've been so bored lately. School's out,and I have nothing to do. I've been going to a lot of parties, but I don't really like them that much; there's too much socializing involved. All I do lately is draw, read, and draw some more. It gets a bit motonous after a while. I've also been watching some anime, but I'm not sure how long that's going to hold my attention. I started and finished "Chobits" in the course of two days. It was really good, but they screwed up the ending. My favorite episode was episode 28. It's a five minute episode, but i's hilarious. Look it up on youtube if you want to see it.

I have one layout for you. It features Edea from final fantasy VII. It's my second favorite Final Fantasy game. I haven't seen any Edea layouts, so I decided to make one. I worked on it on the last two days of school before the awards banquet and graduation. It took me forever to extract the image of Edea to put on the top of the module. If you like it, and you want the codes, please direct your attention to the left column of my site. I added a special guest navigation table right below my profile. There you will find layouts, avatars, and signatures. I decided to get rid of Crystal Clear Productions because it was so hard to update. I thought it would be much easier to make an extension to this xanga since {some} people already come here. ANYWAY... Here's the layout.

{[[E.D.E.A.-- L.A.Y.O.U.T]]}

So, since I'm completely out of ideas for layouts now, I will be taking one request. Please be as specific as possible when you are requesting a layout ex: color scheme, style, provide the images etc... You don't need to provide the images, but it would be pretty helpful.

I also just finished a picture and submitted it to deviantart. people becan faving it and commenting it just seconds after I submitted it, so that made me happy. The only bad thing that came out of that was that some lady started looking through my gallery and reported some pieces of mine because I didn't have "expressed written permission" from Square-Enix. So I had to delete them {thanks, lady }. Well, here's the picture, and if you want to know about it, you can read the description.

{[[F.O.R.--M.E.--A.N.D.--O.N.L.Y.--M.E.]]}

That's all the fun for now. I'll update soon... since I'll probably be bored.

I made a new layout! I got a little tired of the old one-- I had it for 5 months. This will be my summer layout... I guess. I also submitted 2 layouts to blogring.net for you all to use [like you'll actually do that]. 1 layout is new and the other is my old one. I'll let you see them later in the post. I'm really proud of this layout, yet I don't really like it. I think it might have turned out a bit too girly.

Well, You'll be seeing a lot more layout soon, since I'll be out of school in one and a half days!!! It's kind of bittersweet. I'm not going to have to wake up early, do homework, put up with jerks, and I'll have a lot mor time to do things I enjoy. The horrible part is that all of my friends are going to private high schools next year, and I'll never see them again. I'll also miss my teachers and even the people I wish I could've gotten to know more. Looking back on this year, I really wish I had gotten more involved in school activities such as the play. I feel as though I've let some great times pass me by. Now, as we practice graduation, I feel so empty. Hearing the speeches about things that happened this year only make it worse because I didn't get to experience it all, and it's all the fault of my antisocial-ness. This brings me to my next point. Some of you may have noticed the lyrics on this layout right next to the "main content" section. Those are the lyrics to our graduation song this year. It's so true, and I thought it fit this layout well.

Tomorrow is the Dinner Dance. It's the end of the year dance which only eighth graders are allowed to attend. First, parents come and take pictured of their child and all of his/her friends. Then, they leave and dinner is served. Everyone gets to sit with all their friends for this. After that comes the dancing part. The theme this year is a masquerade ball. The cafeteria is all decorated for it, and it actually lokks really good. You can't even tell it's a cafeteria. Anyway, I really wanted to go, but we got an invitation to my cousin's graduation party, and I have to go to that instead. That's just another thing that I won't be experiencing this year.

Now, onto the layouts. The first layout features the game, Counterstrike. I've never played it, nor do I plan to. I made it for my friend who then decided that it was crap and wouldn't put it on his site. I don't take a particualr liking to it either, but it got acceped, I'm posting it. As for the second layout-- It's my previous layout. It took me at least 3 hours to make. It started out as a little techno box that later turned into the marquee box. It hasn't been accepted yet as I only just submitted it, but I'm pretty confident that it will be. If you want the coding for either, just ask me or search blogring.net.

Counter Strike Layout

Heart of a Killer Layout

Lately I find that I've been watching a lot of anime. I really like "Naruto", "Full Metal Alchemist", "Final Fantasy: Unlimited", and "Bomberman Jetters". They're all amazing, But I'm not very far in them. I mainly watch the Japanese versions, but occasionally I'll watch a dubbed one so I won't have to look at the bottom of the screen so much. If you haven't seen one of them, I recomend searching for it on YouTube. That's where I watch all my animes because I don't get any channels that show them or I don't feel like staying up for adult swim.

I think that's all for this entry, and I'll write soon-- I swear.

I'm not dead!!! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a billion years, I'm just so lazy; I'll update a lot more in a month or so because it's gonna be summer vacation!!! WOOOOO! I hate school. There's like 50 mor projects to do plus finals... UGH! I'm confident in every subject except algebra. I don't see why I need it...

I've been busy as I said. I'm in the middle of 2 layouts, 3 pictures, and some icons. I also have homework, tests, reports, and projects. Fun (not). Well, I've finished 1 requested picture, 1 requested button, and 1 requested tutorial. I've had them for like a month... And now, I'll let you see the tutorial and picture...

Hey-ya! Well I was going to updat on friday, but I realized that I should update on this very fine tuesday. Do you know why that is, kiddies? Today is my xanga birthday! 1 full year, 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days!!! I remember last April 18th when I made this site. It looked disgustinly default. I then went into the phase where you add every code you can find to your page. I then progressed to making horrible layouts and improved my skill from there. It's been a great year, and I hope there are many more to come!

I've been feeling a lot happier than usual, lately. I think it might be because it's finally spring and the end of school is near. I've found more time to do things I enjoy such as art and graphic design, and I've also been playing a bit more video games. I've completed a few pieces of art since I last talked to you, and uploaded them to my deviantart account. I'm not particularly proud of them, but what the heck? I drew a chibi form of one of my DA friends, a sprite picture of me, Yuna in her songstress outfit, and a horrible marker drawing.

.:Markers Gone Wrong:.
.:Chibi Yuna:.
.:Sprite Me:.
.:It's Nivao:.

As for layouts, I haven't really finished any, let alone submit them. I really want to make some soon, though, because I don't want to get rusty.

Peace Out!

I'm finally updating. I'm sorry for not doing this earlier, but I've been busy. I'm just glad that it's finally spring break! I've been drawing and doodling a lot lately. I've only fianlized one picture, though. It's my new devID. I think it's pretty good considering that I colored it with the mouse.

.:See the pic:.

I'm quite proud of the hair. It also seems as though it impressed someone else, for now I have a request for another pic. I'm having a bit of trouble with it, though.

I gave my site, Crystal Clear Productions, a new layout. It would be much appreciated if you would take a visit; the site doesn't get many visitors. Also, if you like what you see, click on the links to the topsites in the stats section of the left module. Spread the word!

That's about all.

Soo.... This week was pretty good... I didn't fail the test that I was worried about. Not much happened. The only eventful things that happened were in health class. We watched a baby being born and the teacher is always hitting on this girl in my class. Here's the conversation:

Girl: (Answers question)
Teacher: Wow, You're really know about sex! You should come up here with me and we can teach the class together...
Girl: NO. I'm not that interested.
Teacher: You know, there are other ways of learning about sex.
Girl: Uhh....I'll pass....

In case you can't tell, the teacher is a perv.

I have a picture for you all. I'm pretty proud of it on a count of I colored it with a mouse (which is hard). Read the discription of it if you want to know more about it.

Picture!

OK. Bye!

Ok. I'm updating. Are you happy? The reason I didn't update in so long was that I wanted to write something positive and nice, but I've been in such a horrible mood for the past few weeks. Almost nothing good has hapened to me. We had standardized testing this week. I hated it. It was easy, but I was about to have a nervous breakdown. I also got my mid-marking period progress report. I have an A+ in Spanisg, an A/A+ in English, a B+ in History, a B+ in Science, and a B- in math. I really need to raise all my grades. I'm glad that my mom was understanding about the B's, though. I told her that I'd get my grades up, and I will. I really hate math, though. I know that I'll need it in the future, but when am I going to need to graph a parabala? I hate algebra sooooo much. The teacher is really nice to me, but I just can't grasp the concepts. I got a 100% on the placement test last year, so now I'm in the smart class, but I don't think I can do it.

I'm typing here, up in my room. That's one of the few good things that happened this week. I got the internet on my good ol' windows 98. My friend gave me one of his wireless adapters, and in return I have to make him a layout. My parents don't know I have the internet, and I'd like to keep it that way. I figure that I have more privacy in my room where I can lock my door, rather than type stuff in the entertainment room where anyone can barge in on me. Despite the incredibly old computer, it's really fast! It loads almos immediately after being booted up, and It has a really cool theme that I put on it. I think I'll be spending more time in my room from now on. You know the best thing about this? I can go on AIM and no one will know. You see, my parents don't know about xanga, deviantart, blogring, or Crystal Clear Productions. I'd be devestted if they took them away from me. I've made so many friends, but my parents wouldn't think that's safe. I have incredibly good judgement, and if I don't like yo, then I won't talk to you. My parents just don't understand...

I've been playing final fantasy 8 a lot more recently. I'm finally done with disk one and I'm like halfway through disk two. I think this game tied with final fantasy 10 for my favorite game ever. The storyline is so enveloping. I especially like Edea. She's sooooo evil. I find her to be the best villan in the series. All the other ones are cruel and all, but they don't have an attitude.

That's it for this post. I'll update in 1week, I promise.

Hey. You people didn't read my last entry. Well, at least one person read the whole thing. A few of you other people only read like the first paragraph. And all you others read nothing. I know who you are; in the last paragraph of my last entry I told you to say "blueberry" in your comment so I would know if you read the post or not. Well this post will be shorter. Does that make you happy?

How was everyone's Valentine's Day? I got a box of chocolate covered cherries and two marshmallow hearts. I also got a carnation in school. It's from a secret admiror. If you were'nt sent a carnation, the guidance councelor would send you one. I think that would be even more of a put down than not getting a carnation at all. I wouldn't want to be made into a charity case! That would just be embarassing...

Suddenly, Animal Crossing Wild World is a lot more addicting. I've been paying my mortgage off more often. I really want to get a second floor soon. In fact, this morning I got about 40,000 bells (the currency) from selling fossils, furniture, fish, insects, and just shaking trees and finding the money rock. I also really want to get online with the game, but my router won't let me. I want to blow up the router in a horrible explosion. I will get online if it's the last thing I have to do!!!!!!!!! I'm also starting an orchard in the upper right corner of the town. I'm trying to collect all the fruits to put in it. Oh, and my house is comingh along nicely. Olivia, the cat, is going to pay me a visit at 8:00pm. I hope she gives me a present or something. My favorite villager so far is Hopper. He's quite the curmudgeon. He was going to move away, but I convinced him not to. I do want some of the animals to move, though. There is a pig, a tiger, and a horse that should die!

I went to the mall today. I bought a pair of pants and a sweatshirt. I got some pizza. Other boring stuff. Blah blah blah blah blah... You tengo que limpiar la casa con mi taco!
