You know what? Pull the wire binding off a file (with no intention of using it for its original purpose again) twist it all up - and volia! You get a lovely art work to sit on top of your computer. Give it a name (mine became "Twisted Desire" made out of twisted wire by B. Fraser 09/09/2008 within two seconds of completing the "piece"), make a little tag for it, and -Behold! You are an arteeeest.
Way to accomplish something meaningful in the 'deary monotonous regime of the 'man' who by forcing us into a narrow idealistic work force means to squash our souls and rip away the freedom of our life force...'
Yeah. Whatever.
So work and play are seemly to intermingling continously - can't tell which is which: probably why my hair is going even more curly under the stress. Funny how you get those little notices. Your neck turns into a concrete block, you feel sick half the time - either from over eating, or under eating and when your hobbies cause you guilt and more stress well I think it's time to quit your day job!
But aside from that - I've decided to do something increadably radical for me! I am NOT, I repeat NOT going to get a second - no, wait, third job for the Christmas holidays. Ok - so I might only be working two days a week for the month of January next year (gasp-shock-horror) but I guess I can 'slack' off for a bit. I might even take a break! *snort*
Or not. I'll see how I go. The plan at the moment is to use that time to really work on my art - specifically Gamenian and tranditional art practises. Oh - that reminds me - started a new picture last night. Exciting stuff!

*brain melts*
Gah. *brain melts* I'm utterly exhausted.
Did uni all day today - but that also included an interview with a recruitment agency. It went well, the agency even said that there was a job that they'd put me forward for right away. I hate to say 'It sounds perfect'; 'coz every dang time I say that - I never get the stupid job!! Plus, they might have already fill the position. So I'll just say that it sounds good. And that I hope that I get it. But other than that, it's life. We'll see how we go.
Been working on Gamenian lots - I sure hope we get the manuscript finished before the end of 2009, I want to graduate and send in the manuscript! I think we might even be able to do it; after all, I'll keep working on it, pushing my sister and we'll get through. It's really getting on now too. Yay!!! >_<
Opened up a new Deviant account for my professional art. It'll have to do until I earn enough to get a professional to design a gallery website for me. I don't think my sister and I can quite get our own site off the ground. And it just doesn't look all that good. Anyway - I'm going to make a banner for the page and I'll put up some of my better pieces. I'll try and show a good range - one of these days I will get to a professional status as an artist!
:3, b.
P.s - Any one who wants comission me - just leave me a note on my deviant comments. I will do anything for a good price.

*whaaaa!* :'(
Life sucks. I just wanna go back to my nice little Teen Ranch Bubble. Sure, things weren't always the greatest over there - I had my share of stresses over friends and suckiness, but I don't remember it being this hard to get up in the mornings...
"I'm a nightmare/
A disaster/
That's what they always said/
I'm a lost cause/
Not a hero....."
Everything is just wack at the moment. My Dad's in hospital with a crushed foot and the only offer of help I get comes from an online chat with someone who is very sweet, but I scarcely know them.
My sister has a random aches and pains - the doctors don't know what's wrong. She's had tests - but no results....
My friends are giving me major headaches. I'm walking on eggshells - and basically I'm dammed if I do, and absolutely dammed if I don't... *cries*
I don't know what to do!!! I don't know who to turn to, I don't know why things got this bad.
"I cry out with no reply/
And I can feel you by my side....
And though you're invisible/
I trust in you."
But enough of the emo-muffin-ness. You don't want to read about my black and blue emotions - they'll just turn you emo too!
Bruised but hanging in there,

Back home - so what to do?
I have two choices, much like all of life, I'm making them with no idea how or where or why I'm doing this..... Okay, so I exaggerate a litte. A bit. Alright already - a LOT!
I do know why, or where, but as to time? Well, a little lost there. I have two choices (I think) either stay at uni this semester and do two more subjects I don't need to do to graduate (This is I think part - I've gotta make sure that's the case) or stop uni and look for a job until next year. The problem is finding a job. Nobody's hiring.... :p
So left or right? Yay or nay? I dunno; I'm still waiting on an email from my course convenor. University people are so dang slow!!! All I need is a blinkin yes or no answer! I don't even know if it's too late to drop out yet. Gr.
Anyways, on that front it's more than a little stressful; but that's life.
Trying to get my website up and running so that I can get on with my mission to get my art work published! Yes, I have determined a new life goal of becoming a professional author/artist, but of course, that takes a heck of a lot of work, so it'll take a while. But I will succeed!!!!
Laterz - I gotta go peek at this movie.

Advice
It's a funny old world sometimes - I kinda wonder if
a). the same thoughts are shared by an entire community it's either an x-file case or everyone just sees the same thing when they look at me.
b). if life is ever the way you want it to be - aka: just like in the movies!!!
In regards to a). - it relates to all the advice we have been given about our trip. We have had varing levels of information; random scattered tit-bits of wisdom and knowledge. And then there's the advice about boys...
Everyone (and I do mean everyone!) seems to think that we are either going overseas to hook-up or be mobed(by said boys)!!! Lol. No one has even bothered to tell us to absorb the culture, or how to get on with the locals, let alone given us any advice on how to get from place to place. Just to stay away from the boys if it's from my dad, my pastor, and any other guy. If it's from a girl it's just - "You are so going to come back with an Italian boyfriend!"!!! That and French guys are nice. =.=
*shakes head* What is the world coming to if the only reason to travel is to get a bf?
But I love the people that gave us the advice, and I thank them for thinking of us.
Mean while I'm just setting my sights on Hong Kong - ssshhhhhoooooppppppiinnnnnggggggggg!
So much fun!
*meep* It's tomorrow! It's tomorrow! It's tomorrow! I can't believe that one and a half years of planing and saving is finally coming to fruition!!! @-@
Go figure!

Counting down
I can't believe it, but this time next week Emi and I will be waiting at the airport to take off to Hong Kong. I am unbelievably excited because it is going to be the most awesome thing ever!
Heh. And so we wait. Counting down the days, the hours, the seconds.
In the mean time, our bedroom demands attention - we are spring cleaning (yes, in summer) to prepare for our trip away. We are getting rid of all the junk that we can. In a way it's almost like preparing our bedroom for two different travelers to return.
I mean, this is huge for us. We haven't ever done anything like this ever before. I guess it's time to find out whether that independent streak I've been cursed (blessed?) with will come through for me.
I tell you what though, I will miss everyone while we're over there. Yes, I love the trill of exploring new places, meeting new people - but I do have a very special group of friends here. I guess that makes the home-coming so much sweeter....
Is anyone else feeling sick? :p
*interrupts ramble*
I haven't spilled regarding the awesomeness that was SummerNats, so I will let my sister (who went with me, as well as our 'retinue' of bodyguards [guys from HBC that insisted that we had to go with a large group of protectors; aren't they sweet?]) regale you with the tale.
Random's Blog
*And just to add to that post - I agree totally... Hot cars! Some of them where jumping like crickets they had so much power in the engine. And then some of them *thumps rib cage* you could feel the power - right in the middle of you. It was so incredible!
But that's it from me for a while.

Hot cars, hot guys...
All thanks to Summernats!!!! *sigh* sooo many hot cars... the boys ain't bad either, but the hot cars... there were Corvettes, Mustangs - even an Lamborghini! Although apparently the Lamborghini was just a kit, and not a real one, but it was hot anyway. Lots of muscle cars - blowers, (gets more air into the engines) huge engines that roar, and turbo (makes car go faster) galore. Then there were the pretty cars - side skirts, grates, spoilers, rims(Stuff that goes on the front and side of the cars, the stuff in tires, and the sticky-up thing on the back end of the car) - the lot. But they were REALLY pretty. ^.^
I know a lot of you are probably going 'shut up about cars' but one last thing... we watched the burnouts of two guys doing a faceoff. One of them blew his engine and had to get his car pushed off the track. The other guy - get this - had a 2500bhp car!!!!! HOLY COW!!!!!!!!! He completely blew his tires. But still... HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!

Flying times
Christmas - came, went, is gone. I'm so busy working, I hardly notice anyways! I'll tell you what has gotten me more vamped up (even more than my pretty new silver hoops, but not as much as my ichigo [strawberry] Pocky Bag [!!!!! *eeee*] or my dead-foxy seklington t-shirt) is that I'm going to SummerNats!!!
It'll be my first SummerNats (awesomely cool car show for those that aren't in the know) and I can't wait.
Other then that I've got road trips (one dayers) and movies, and other good times (New Year's fun) to keep me going in between the mountains of work I am currently swamped under.
Tis all good.

So long... No Talky
Yup. I know it's been so long and I haven't said a word. My bad!!
I've just been so busy with uni and then after uni, finding a second job, after finding a second job, working both jobs and when I'm not doing that TRYING to get my passport and other incidentals sorted out for Europe 08.
AHHHHHHHHH! I'm going to Europe for like 6 months in like 1 month's time!! Oo
And now you get the overview of what my life has been like for the last month or so.
BTW - our choir sung Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. WE SUNG THE HALLELUJAH CHORUS!! That's supposed to be one of the hardest choir pieces. Not only that, we sung it to a CD. Double hardness. And I sung soprano - which is an achievement considering I'm a metso-soprano. So much fun!
Life has been so-so for the while; nothing really much except busy, busy, busy.
I have gotten back into horse riding but. I guess for a while there I just lost interest 'coz we had sold my pony Tango, and I missed him. But now we have Copper, who is brilliant to ride, so that's alot more fun. Takes up a lot of the little free time I have though!
Change the subject - you know when you just ramble on and you feel like such an idiot but you can't seem to stop? I was doing that the other night, talking to this guy I know. And he was just looking down at me (he is uber tall) and smiling one of those crooked, 'amused' smiles. Now I feel like a bakka* as I think about it. Yeh; and the really bad thing is I don't know if he thought all the chatter burbling from me WAS amusing or just plain stupid.
People say I'm cute. But I don't know. I'd rather be elegant, or mysterious, or cool - or anything but cute! You can get away with 'cute' if you're in a manga, but my life is NOT an Japanese Fairy Tale, (oh how I wish it was sometimes!!) The thing with cute is it also only works as long as you're young. I can get away with it now - I guess, but what happens when I'm older?
Stupido cute.
(*My friends and I have a new word - "bakka: idiot in Japanese)
Why do I care anyway?
I suppose I'm bored at the moment. Which is stupid again because I have an awesome set of family and friends and will be traveling overseas (ultimate adventure style - low budget!) in just one month and two weeks approximately.
Cele la vie.
I'll get over it. I think the thing is with adventure, it looks so glamourous, and like so much 'fun' actionwise - and maybe it is. But it's gotta end at some point and "...they all lived happily ever after." I'm just at the "ever after" point without ever having reached the adventure. This is a good thing yes?
.... No?

Let's fly away
Guess what????
Our trip to Europe is officially on!!! XD It's sooo exciting - my sister and I found places to stay - one in Italy for a month, then we'll be off to Scotland for three-four months. EEEEEEEEEPPPPPP!!!!!!
It's our first trip overseas, and I'm really looking forwards to it. I can hardly believe everything worked out in like, the space of two weeks!
So, as of February the 4th, 2008, Emi and I will be heading overseas....
YAY!

Gah. I hate being ill. 'Tis the bain of my existence.
Plus, I'm stressing because I am sooo running behind in my uni work. *le sigh* But at least when you're sick you lose weight! Yay! Go positive side of sweating, chills, sniffles, migraines, joint pain and coughs! >3<
And that's all I have to say.
Buh-bye now...

Black Stump - it came, it went, it was GREAT!
I can hardly believe that Black Stump is over for another year...
Crazy man, just crazy...
But it was awesome and I got to go!!! I saw (and liked) John Smith, Antiskeptic, Scat, Jigzag, Maverick, the comedy shows, Stump comedy debate, and the Stump Battle of the Bands. I also so some other things, but wasn't so impressed - but I am not naming names...
I had a great time chillaxing, but I swear! The dust was aweful! Just imaging the dusty-est dust bowl you ever could, and times it by 100. Then you are getting close to Stump. One photo I took inside a tent, when I was at the back, consisted of some heads close by and, you guessed it... Dust.
I am still coughing up black stuff.
But it was awesome, and we got to eat cookies all weekend! Yay! Go cookies!

Blackberry....
Malicious femininity
squishes my toes
as I tug on the sides of my skirt and do that hip butt wiggle wiggle thing
was I supposed to be sultry today
or matronly
or capable like a man
willing?
vulnerable?
coquettish?
do I shake his hand
eye contact, firm grip
or merely tilt my head
relying my feminine nature
No, I didn't write this - I wish I did, but all credit goes to xx_starchild_xx on Live Journal. My comment on this piece?
Too true mate - too true!
I really love it 'coz it seems to sum up the conundrum that the modern woman faces. We can have it both ways - be independent and manly, or feminine and flirty/coy/capricious - whatever mood strikes us. Too bad it adds to the wardrobe problem - will I wear a skirt/dress/short with those sandals/boots/heels with that mood flirty/strong/independent/gentle/bubbly/corporate - the choices are endless!! 0.o

doing things
Okay, so I'm doing lotsa things - uni, stuff, art, stuff, oh! Oh! Watching Foxtel stuff! *squeee* Soo excited - we've finally gotten Foxtel at home and I just love it.... Yay for the Cartoon Network! I watched "Memoirs of a Geisha" (sp?) yesterday - I loved it!
Heh - I didn't even shed a tear *so proud* - I thought it was good - and I really enjoyed the scenery - purttiful Japan. I can't wait to go over there!
In between all the stuff and bother, I've decided that when I come back from Europe, have finished my degree and have a full time job, I'm gonna get a new (second-hand car). But guess whats really exciting! It's gonna be one of these:
a Toyota Supra, 1993-94, but fully kitted out-
or a Nissan Skyline - one of these!

!
Aren't they just the most to say the least? Of course, my preference is for red or black color wise, and some luffly sub woofers in the boot, but second-hand means not much choice. But like I really care - after BoB ANYTHING is an improvement! Not that I'm complaining, I'm lucky to have a car that is reliable. I just also adore driving high-performance cars.... As in totally nuts about them!
Besides all that, the term is trotting along abominably fast - end of this week and it's class free for two weeks! Plus, once that's over, before you know it the end of semester will be looming upon us, and with it - trip to Europe!!!!!!!!!! @.@
In the mean time, I'm have fun hanging out with some new friends from church (well, old friends now - we've been doing stuff for about two months or so now) and I can't wait for Black Stump - it's in one month and one day!!!
AND I AM SO GOING THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!

Panic attack!
*Aiiya!*
So the story goes like this -
right
- It was a dark and stormy night -
no it wasn't! It was today you silly nitwit!
Oh yeah.
Anyways, if my silly head (not silly) will stop interrupting I can get to work...
Right, so like I was saying, today I received the positively worstest grade I have EVER gotten!!!
(ok - over exaguration- Muse tends to do that a bit. It was 11/20, so I passed by one mark)
I got an instant case of "Emo-muffiness" and got TOTALLY depressed. But once the tut. finished, my tutor asked to speak to me and said that basically I didn't deserve the grade I got, but because I didn't set it out properly that's what I got!
I was sooo relieved when she said that. Basically I just have to talk to her before I hand in my assignment next time and I'll be ok.
CHEERS!!!
XD, I'm-happy-now, tb.

(ok - over exaguration- Muse tends to do that a bit. It was 11/20, so I passed by one mark)
I got an instant case of "Emo-muffiness" and got TOTALLY depressed. But once the tut. finished, my tutor asked to speak to me and said that basically I didn't deserve the grade I got, but because I didn't set it out properly that's what I got!
I was sooo relieved when she said that. Basically I just have to talk to her before I hand in my assignment next time and I'll be ok.
CHEERS!!!
XD, I'm-happy-now, tb.

Almost done.
*~~~*~~~*~~~
Ausika's log 0850 hours:
I take up pen once more, only to confirm a rumor of the direst consequences. It is beyond my reckoning as to how these events were set in motion, but they where and of that I have no doubt. It was after the successful operation that took out Captain Takkahi's ship, The Trade Wind that I first learned of the whisper.
It is rumored that under the guidance of the Pirate King, the Pirates are sailing for destinations unknown. So it seems that in the manner they arrived, suddenly and without warning, is the manner they shall leave.
But not if I have anything to do with it.
It was over a steaming cup of Jasmine tea that I learned of the deeper reasons for the Pirate's abrupt departure, and that made me all the more determined to stow away and finish this war.....
I had knelt at the rough pine table, with no more thought on my mind than to escape the perpetual whining of the guild leaders. Head of the Saber clan I had been for five long years. I was well on the way to out-striping the Venerable Donji, the only female leader besides myself sit in this position. And now the leaders of the Ninja clans wanted me to pick a successor for my title - that or be wed and by the stars above will I not be married off like a water buffalo up for auction!!
So it was such circumstances that brought me to the local village tea house, in disguise of course. No one would think of searching for the Sensei of the Sabar clan in a homely little place as this. Though, aside, I quite enjoyed the informalities of the affair. And for their credit, their tea is almost as good as my personal brew. Almost, but not quite.
There, alone with my thoughts drifting on the spirals of sweet scented jasmine, a muted conversation caused me to pick my ears.
It would appear that the pirates are leaving to search for an ancient relic. And with this relic they were going to set up a kingdom on the opposing island of Yuna. We had the larger land mass - our home island being shaped like a crescent moon, Rue slightly encircled the island of Yuna. The guild leaders had begun settling Yuna when the pirates had disrupted our plans many centuries ago. They had formed a barrier between the motherland and our stranded companions. Once in a while a brave, if foolhardy, ninja would slip between the pirate ranks and bring us messages from the island.
We had not heard a word from the communities across the sea in the last five years. This was our worse fear - if the clans have not been able to retain control of the island, with this new relic the pirates would be in the finest position to take that land as their outpost.
The war would never cease until one of our kind was eliminated....
I vow it will not be the Ninja Clans. To seal this vow I had left the tea house and climbed to the summit of Mt. Eifnur. There the we, as leaders, met with our thoughts and planned the futures of our peoples. It was upon my head to stop this calamity - a task I only hoped I was capable of completing....
In the deep cool of the night I knelt in a tiny cave dedicated for the clan senseis alone and breathed in the soft wind that caressed my hair. In my mind's eye I could see the ships departing and the false hope spreading like a plague amongst our people. I could see the months of peace, and even years of quiet whilst our senses grew dull with stupor. Than the fear, the sudden strike that would decimate our lands and leave us helpless under the heel of the pirates. A cry of rage grew within my breast at the thought and I knew what had to be done.
I would sail out with pirates on the eve of my four and twenty years...
Asuika dropped her head. Alone in the depth of Mt. Eifnur, the scroll and pen fell from her shaking hand. She had never left her home lands, she had no friend to turn to, no one to bid farewell.
She did not know if this was a thing to rejoice over, or to weep. Whom could she turn to but the stars? Cold comfort their shining beauty was, and she allowed one tear. Just one cool droplet to slip down her cheek, one farewell to all she knew as home.
The guild leaders would only activate a final strike if they knew of these events - an occurance that would leave the pirates severly crippled to be sure, but defeated? Who knew....
No.
Asuika lifted her eyes. To use their own weapons against them - that was the way to grantee success. She would make sure that the pirates would never return to her homeland. It was the only way....
*~~~*~~~*~~~
Just about finished you know! One more, maybe two more "chapters" and it'll be done. Comment or criticism anyone?

weirdnEss, fun and ninjAs
Nine words women use...
1.) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5.) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and
arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.
8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F!@# YOU!
9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.
I found this on Live Journal - this awesome community I am now addicted too -(just add it too thelist) - http://djinnthespazz.livejournal.com/ is the link for reference. It's cool though inn't? I reckon it's about 100% correct too... Fellas - take note! ;D Oh yeah - I'm Asuika on Live Journal - check it out if ya want. Oh, and here's Part 2 of the ninja vs pirate story.
Enjoy!
