I thought it would be interesting to look at the gaps in the release dates for each volume of X. Here are the results...

Vol. 1 released 1992.
Vol. 2 released 3 months later
Vol. 3 released 3 months later
Vol. 4 released 4 months later
Vol. 5 released 5 months later
Vol. 6 released 13 months later
Vol. 7 released 10 months later
Vol. 8 released 8 months later
Vol. 9 released 7 months later
Vol. 10 released 8 months later
Vol. 11 released 13 months later
5 months later they come out with # 12 cos maybe they're rushed by the 1999 release date~ but nothing actually came out till MARCH! hmm...
Vol. 13 released 5 months later
Vol. 14 6 months later
Vol. 15 6 months later
Vol. 16 6 months later (ahhh seishirou-san! ;_;)
Vol. 17 8 months later
10 months later we get volume 18, final one out so far.

Now let's take a moment to remember what day it is today...

WHAT IS THIS! it is 2004 now?? X-18 was released in 2002??? *diesdiesdies* 20 months later we have-?!?!?!? T_T After going through this, it's no WONDER I've totally lost my X groove and stopped fanarting! 2002.9.17 ~ 2004.5.2!! wehhhh. But I suppose this is nothing when we observe that Clover had nothing for 5 years... @_@

>=x But they have been so religiously good with releasing Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles one volume every two months to the day! so i am not complaining... X3

Today was kind of strange... I started it out pretty happy and now I come home and all that energy just went down the drain. There's a reason for that i guess:

school ends in one week, and I saw the senior short films. I also saw freshman short films from CalArts. They are very similar. I don't feel terribly awesome about that- but at least now I know that even if I tried reapplying to CalArts it would have been a lost cause- but now i feel like I've lagged so far behind that I need to work twice as hard to make up for it. I shouldn't be feeling this way, but I do! I feel like an absolute nobody and I'm frustrated at myself for thinking that way because I know it's not true- but whenever I see something that just totally kicks my ass, I can't help but feel this way. Inspiration hurts. I want to do so much but at this point all I can do is learn- i'm not giving it my all, not trying my best at all. And I feel like crap about because it hits me the last week of school! Like, where have I been all year?! What have I been doing?! And now that I suddenly realize i've been pretty much doing the most minimal work for school and outside of school nothing at ALL, what am I planning to do over summer?!

I had better as hell not do nothing. I feel like such a waste.

But my small comfort is that at least I'm not the kind of person that will let something like this get to me so badly I'd drop everything and sulk like a moron. But it still hurts. It just means I'll have to take summer school for sure if I'm planning to even graduate on time. A start is a start- better than not starting at all.

Hopefully I'll feel better by tomorrow. Yesterday I realized that I'm a really big klutz- In the morning I got lotion in my eye- it was UBER pain >_> and during class I got white paint on my fav. black pants- >_<* and then when I come home I get spaghetti sauce on my freshly laundered white shirt! ARGH. *sniff*

My brother's coming to vist and i almost fell asleep in my animation class... so maybe i should rest up a bit before then. Maybe, maybe not.

okay! most awesome story! Today I was driving to school? and walking across the street, I saw this long brown body with a tail- so I said to myself wow that is a really slow squirrel. I thought squirrels dashed across the street ya kno? So as I come closer to it I see it's not a big-ass squirrel, but a MOTHER DUCK and her 6 or 7 DUCKY BABIES!!! *_* SOOO CUTE!!! >w< So I brake and almost come to a stop a few yards away and wait for them to get to the other side. >w< miiiii~!
So as I am waiting for them I notice the car behind me is coming up behind me real fast :B Like 50. And I don't think it's gonna stop.

And it doesn't. XB

So this freaked out lady dinged the back of my car!

But since I have a tuff car, no damage done. But I just thought it was the saddest way ever to get hit by a car. I don't care though, cos the duckies were so cute ;_; It's how you know it's really springtime!!!

That and my top wisdom teeth are growin out ;;;_;;; They're starting to hurt a bit TwT

It's been a cool weekend. Mirae came over to visit for a few days and that was nice =B We got to chill and stuff - haven't seen her in forever >_<

So I've been playing a lot of RO, eating a lot of food, living my life basically from day to day. It's really nice and all... I don't have to work, I don't have to worry about not understanding my homework and just doing it the night before. I get a fixed amount of money every month, of which adds up because I don't spend as much as I get.

Call me a jerk, but I don't think I should be the least bit satisfied by this.

If anything I feel quite lazy and I feel the need to be more ambitious about what I do. Sure I go to school. Sure I'm learning. But I could be so much better. It's a bit of a late revelation for me now, since school ends for me in 2 weeks. TWO WEEKS. And then I have to go home and start busting out the cosplay. Same thing year after year. I mean I love cosplay. But it makes me think that one year I'm gonna have to eventually drop it all and devote my time to what I'm working to become. Because cosplay's just a hobby, and school -> job, and job supports hobby. So it's kinda clear which comes first.

But then again, a hobby is what you do in your spare time... right? Right?

And on a totally different tangent, it's really hard to watch someone you care about go through pain and there's nothing you can do but watch. Augh. I had really hate filled dreams.

One might think that the worst kinds of dreams are nightmares- but they aren't. When you wake from a nightmare, you can open your eyes up to a better reality, relieved, and tell yourself that there's nothing to fear.

I think the worst kinds of dreams to wake up from are the best ones- ones where everything is going right. Talking to a friend from long past, getting to know the person you look up to the most, seeking and getting an old friend's forgiveness. For that short moment you can feel the relief and enjoy the feeling of a lifted burden. And it feels so real. But once again reality hits you in the face and you have to wake up again. And it's a very depressing feeling. Because everything wonderful you worked towards in the dream and every sense of renewal you might have achieved- none of it's real. And none of it ever happened. It was just a dream.

But that is reality; that is life.

Sometimes I wish I either didn't have dreams- or didn't wake up at all.

On a somewhat happier note, I came home early and have no homework. That's always a good thing.

=[ man i don't update in forever! I can't even remember what happened. It was all a blur... The past few weeks have been getting back to school, finishing my projects, surviving headaches and fighting a fever, going out with Chris and Jason a lot... they took us to RH, where I got to meet Maryanne and Ken, and we went to little tokyo and had foodings :3 I went to see movies, Hellboy (the ending sucked) and Home on the Range(i liked it >:B), going to the pet store to see the kitties, and going to the coldcold beach.

So here is the kitty that we saw.

that is one awesome kitty. X3

uh. I also didn't know there was such a huge park across the street from me that stretches all the way to University. Is this where cosplay.com goes for their picnic? o_O

I started playing Suikoden III. =[ I should play it just to play it and not be obsessive about it like every other RPG and follow the strategy guide... Ahhhh I want ToS! but now they even came out with Tales of Rebirth! The chara designs look like they're by Inomata Mutsumi! TwT ai. *sits on a cloud* darn namcooooo!!!

And I just hit an artist block ;_; *tries to move it* ;;;_;;; it won't budgeeeee TwT
