She is Krystal, though the name Sumi-chan was self-applied at the age of 13, and has stuck like glue. Four years later, she's attending college, and struggling through life like any other rabid 17-year-old scorpio fangirl, with a thirst for acknowledgement -- just at accelerated speed. She can be found on AIM as Salr Sun, e-mailed as krystal at soul-mirror dot net, or writing over at sakubun. She lives at soul-mirrorNET.

(the poor boy was tragically cut during the transition from manga to anime) very plain and simple, designed using photoshop 7 in about half-an-hour, using a manga scan provided by Sakura, with color added by me, using photoshop's airbrush. Fonts used are Lithos and Giddyup. Originally intended for the fic blog, I decided I liked it too much to use there, and made adjustments as such. Part of the Fruits Basket Blog Marathon.

I'm so dumb. XD I was up until 4:00 last night. No Joke. The boys came over again, but I had work to do, so I parked them in front of "Tears of the Sun" while I attended to sketchbook stuff... but we did end up...somehow...talking from 11:30 to 3:30 AM. XD I got to talking to Benson about Divine Stretch, and he seems genunely interested in it. ^_^ HE actually started getting excited about it. He was talking about how he wanted to work for a comic book company, and I told him my dad once told me that if I came up with an idea he liked enough, he'd back me for starting a studio. Benson was like "Can I work for you?" XD That'd be awesomely cool, actually.

I woke up at 1:00 PM this afternoon. That's the latest I've ever been allowed to sleep. XD I dont' have NEARLY as much sketchbook to do today as I HAVE had to do on Sudnay's past. I'm getting quicker, and better, to some extent. I have about...15 pages of prop sketches, 10 artist pages, and 10 perspective drawings. Not too bad, really. I got the time-consuming stuff out of the way.

I think before I get to work today, I need to schedule out the week that lies ahead of me. So...I'll go do that now. After I eat.

So I stayed up until 3:30 AM last night because Andrew, Alex, and Benson were all over here. That was fun. We watched The Royal Tenanbaums and I was the only person who had seen it before. They all thought it was crack, and liked it too. ^_^ Always fun. I ended up talking to Alex for about an hour and a half, two hours maybe-- actually, I really just listened. Poor guy has a lot of stuff swirling around in his head, and I don't blame him. the converstaion kinda got cut short, but I'm sure there'll be more of them. I love Alex, I really do... He's so much like a brother to me, and if I had to get hurt by Sean, I'm at least glad that knowing him allowed me to meet Alex and Andrew.

When I was showing them around the house, I think I broke their brains with the sheer size of the house. That and soem of the features, like the gigantic shower in my parents bathroom. They speculated on how it looked like somethign you'd see in a pr0n. Boys are funny. XD

Boy, I'm really working my way BACKWARDS through the day, but before we watched movies or any of that, we were all talking about old TV shows we watched when we were younger. Yay for nostalgia.

So today, I need to do a bunch of drawing, and actually get some work done. The boys are coming over again later tonight, to help polish off the leftovers from last night's roast.

So, I'm still all excited about DS, and also have been REALLY anxious to work on my website, the layouts, some of my fanfics...And oh god, I still have to finish my Sango costume before Halloween. I think maybe I'll take care of THAT next weekend. The costume part, anyway... I still need to make Hiraikotsu, and I haven't even bought the supplies for it.

I'm addicted to Harvest Moon. Maybe I already said that... I dunno. But I am. which is really stupid, because it's just a 2-d sprite farming-sim game. ^^; I'm lame, yes, I know.

So, I need to go do work... I want to make my Kouga/Ayame blog layout. ::pouts:: And I need to finish the layouts for smiko and DL. ::flails::

Wow...the 25th already. This month just went WOOSH! Gone! O.o

So school is in full swing, and the more I have to wade my way through the work, the more I don't like it. Admittedly, there ARE things I like less, but that doesn't make it any easier when you're doing stuff like this 15 or 16 hours a day, 7 days of the week.

Hibari survived Hurrican Isabel, but her phone jacks and cable were flooded, and she had to wade through waist-high water to get out of her house. I'm just glad she's alive. We got to talking about Divine Stretch the other day...and actually made a little bit of progress. ^_^ We now have a vague idea of the final fates of our main characters. I signed up for an account at diaryland.com, for once we get around to posting actual pages of the comic. Also, after it's been established for a month or two, and I'm fairly certain that I can keep up the consistant updating pace, I'll invest in a 20-dollars-a-year Re-Direct Domain Name. ^_^ I can use my domain server to host the images, and I link directly from the server on the Diaryland page. It automatically archives the "previous entries" onto an archive page... ^ ^ all I hafta do is disect it a bit, make a layout for the site, and BOOM, we're in business (so to speak). ^___^ The more we plan this thing, and the mroe it develops, the more I get excited about it. The plannign stages are far from over, but that's not a bad thing.

Speaking of Diaryland... after looking it over a bit, I discovered it has a function I've been wanting for a LONG time: You can create user names and passwords, and only the people you give those to can access the journal. *_* No more worrying about random people reading into my business. I can actually treat it MORE like a real journal...ya know, include locations, and all that fun stuff. ^_^ Don't worry... If you're a friend, I'll make sure to contact you with the user name and password.

Episode 124 of Inuyasha came out! *___* Good episode. Much fodder for my Kikyou music video. This reminds me, that since I bought more CD's, I can burn more Inuyasha for Hibari as soon as I get my book back... but I dunno if she can even play them, considering her CD Drive is all messed up from the flooding...

I have so much SHIT I need to do before the end of next month. I need to finish my Sango costume, for Halloween, I need to make my new blog layout (Theme: Kouga and Ayame), and I need to FINISH the layouts I started for DL and Smiko...though Smiko still need to get me filler stuff.

Jumping back to the subject of school, I wish that I could jsut be taking Art, film, and Literature right now... SHIT, that reminds me that I need to read through chpater 16 of Dracula by Monday, and I don't even ahve the book. Shit...

Yeah, that's also what I feel like right now. Shit. My head hurts so much, and it's only 10:20. Class won't be over until 12:00. I'm hoping the teacher won't get around to me...

I wanna go home, to the peace and quiet, with no humming of 40+ CPU's in my ears, and no clickety-clack of OTHER keyboards, and with immediate access to the fridge...

God, I'm hopeless.

EDIT: Note to Self: Literature.org is my best friends.

After suffering a minor mental breakdown yesterday afternoon and evening, I can confidently say I'm feeling a bit better today. Just feeling better off has left me somehow more capable of doing my work. Isn't it weird how things work out? I had Ilana yelling at me last night to calm down and take breaks, because Stress is bad, and would make me sick. She would know, she's the Senior-Med-Student after all. XD Seriously though, Ilana, Eve, I love you both, and thanks for putting up with me and listening to me bitch. And Hibari-chan too, because she probably listens to me far more than human ears could stand...

But, I'm getting off subject. even though I do feel better about my work load, I still have a lot to do, and thus the rest of the week shall be spent working my ass off into the later hours of the night. However, if I'm to successfully pull that off, I'm definately going to need to stop at the grocery store on the way home and pick up some Mocha Frapuccino's, since we were fresh out this morning when I looked in the fridge. Ya know, I didn't used to like them, but I seem to have acquired a taste for them as of recently... O.o I don't even LIKE coffee... though a white mocha cappuccino is sounding good right about now.

We've been living in our new house for...about 3 days now I guess, and I haven't been there except to shower, sleep, and eat once or twice. Quite a weird sensation, really. There are things I miss about the old house... The fence that kept the dogs in, my room in the general sense... the secret room. I didn't think I would miss that funk little room, considering I never used it... but I sort of do. I didnt' really get to say goodbye either. I'll have to do that soon. Ya know, ya live somewhere for Five or Six years, and you grow accustomed to it. ::sigh::

So, Abbott was showing or class some examples of concept art yesterday in class... and I became thuroughly convinced then and there, that I absolutely HAVE to own Final Fantasy IX. THAT all started WAY back when Eve was saying we should all cosplay as Final Fantasy girls if we got together to go to a convention... and being illiterate of msot Final Fantasy games, asked hwo I would msot closley ressemble, and she said "Garnet." So, I looked up Garnet, and that started to hook me. Last night was just the final shot. quite encouraging as well that the game can be bought off ebay for between 6 and 12 dollars. This made me also want Final Fantasy 7, and also all the old SNES games that I absolutley LOVED as a kid, but I never owned, because it was too expensive. They're really inexpensive now... So I'll probably spend about 100 dollars on a total of 4 or 5 games. Not a bad deal really, when you consider that my parents paid 45 dollars for Kingdom Hearts O.o There's also an Inuyasha wall scroll that I've got my eye on. *_*

I REALLY want my Ayame/Kouga layout that's swirling around in my head... and I also wanna finish DL and Smiko's layouts... plus all the layouts for my website. which reminds me, my domain expires in december... ;_; Hm. Dad will probably renew it... I wonder if it would cost extra to CHANGE it. . . I've grown a bit tired of soul-mirror.net (Because I'm fickle.)

Wednesday, September 17, 2003

So, Wednesday the 17th rolled around, and Sumi said to herself "I need to blog before I go insane." And blog she did.

It's been Four Days since my last entry, but more like a week since my last LEGITIMATE blogging entry. Ya know, one that's more than a few disjoitned sentances. I simply haven't had the time, and frankly, I don't have the time right now... But I'm making the time.

So last weekend, I was forced to pack all of my belongings for The Big Move. I ended up with 7 or 8 medium sized boxes, filled to the brim with my bedroom stuff. That's NOT counting the three large boxes full of art supplies, and textbooks. Moving Day was monday, which I thankfully spent the whole of at school, lest I go insane from the lack of internet.

Speaking of which, we STILL. Don't. Have. Internet. I'm surviving on the school's high-speed connection. We also don't yet have TV, which is driving me up the walls, as that is usually how I fall asleep: with the TV on. I feel like I'm on vacation, which to me, is NEVER a vacation. ::Heavy Sigh::

So, school is now in full swing, and let me tell you, I am FEELING it. Really, really badly. It's only half way through week three, but already both fo my sketchbook assignments have been turned in just shy of complete, because of moving. I can't let that happen anymore, lest my grade suffer more than it already is. I have approximately 11 weeks to make up for it, plus projects and quiz scores. Abbott's new method of Sketchbook assignment makes last year's seem like a dream come true. The workload has quadrupled, with strict deadlines, as opposed to the loose "average" of previous semesters. It's not that I put this stuff OFF either. Really, I wish I had more time to work on it. But, until I get caught up to the point where I feel comfortable, my work schedule will hafat fluxuate back and forth a bit. Am SERIOUSLY considering telling my parents I can't go with them on our anual November trip to Hawai'i, considering the consequences that had last year.

I have recently been looking into how to password protect this blog. I dont' want to move it, I just want it protected from the eyes that belong in heads I'm not acquainted with. I have thus far only found instructions on hwo to password protect a whole directory, which obviously doesn't help me in protecting a single page. However, I can now properly password protect my personal website, once I get it up and running. ^_^

I really wish I had the time to finish DL and SMiko's blog layouts...but with school and all, that doens't look realistic in the immediate future. But they understand, which is nice...

So, I started thinking about what I want to do once I finish school next year. I calculated it, and considering graudtaion is the end of april, and my birthday is the beginning of november, I'll be approximately 6 months away from my 19th birthday, when I graduate. Had I gone thorugh the normal school system, at that point in time, I would still be strugglign trhoguh the last month and a half of my senior year of highschool. Not bad timing, if you ask me. So, I think I got it figured out a bit. I'd like to take the 4-month summer off. Get a part time job, or maybe full time during the summer, to start saving a little money. Then, when September rolls around, I'd like to take some more art classes, and maybe a class in Japanese. Meanwhile, I'd keep the part-time job, work on refining my portfolio, and get to work on Divine Stretch, my collaborative Comic Project with Hibari (which has been sorely neglected on my part because of school). Perhaps getting that project going would also give me good practice in the comic department, which is ultimately where I'd like to end up someday.

I suddenly feel really relaxed, and really sleepy... I'd like to just...curl up on the floor under my desk. Maybe I will. But I shouldn't, since I have so much to do. I think I've said pretty much all I have to say...

Oh. I randomly had the urge to make an Original Character for the Inuyasah-verse. For no apparent reason. No fic or anything... just a character to put in there. I'm thinking about a goat, a rabbit, or a ram hanyou.

COSPLAY BREAKTHROUGH. Ignore this post if you don't care.

Okay, so I figured out how I'm going to make my Hiraikotsu. ^^

Step One :: Create core/base form out of Styrofoam or Squishy foam.
Step Two :: Cover foam in a layer of Paper Mache.
Step Three :: Cover the paper-mache-shelled form in Lacquer. many, many layers of lacquer.
Step Four :: Sand Lacquer to desired smoothness, paint, and decorate.

^____^ And that, theoretically, should leave me with a nice, light-weight, Hiraikotsu. ^_^ ::goes to bed::

So, I'm thinking of moving Special K. Keryn showed me Xanga account...so I signed up for one. And it's COOL. It has all sorts of cool functions. *_* I dunno yet, I need to experiment with it. What I REALLY waant is just to be able to password this site, so only the people I give the password to can read it.

Gotta go pack.

Uch. Now I remember why I hate getting up early. It's too damned COLD. ::shivers:: And it makes me feel SICK.

Evaluating my sketchbook, if I'm going to get it DONE this weekend, I hafta do my 20-pages of prop designs tonight, and the 10-pages of Draftsman-Study tomorrow, or vice-versa. ::sighs::

On a completely unrelated notes, I figured out how I'm going to divide up the Inuyasha Characters for my Website Marathon.

Splash Page: Shippo, sitting on the edge of the Well
Main Index Page: Inuyasha
Writing Site: Kagome
Art Site: Fanart of Rin, Kohaku, and Fluffy in the BG
Personal Site: Kikyou
Cosplay Site: Me and my friend, cosplayed as Sango and Miroku
The Blog: Ayame and Kouga

Boy, my brain is relaly disjointed in the morning. And geez, no matter how much I brush and mouthwash in the mornign, I can't get this nasty morning-breath tatse out of my mouth. -.-

Coherent blogging at a later date.

I think the recent change in weather is affecting my productivity. Since it started raining a few days ago, my energy and productivity has gone in the proverbial toilet. Normally, this lack of motivation wouldn't bother me... But, school being back in session and all, I'm sort of...gettign overflowed with homework. It's near the end of week two, and I'm slooooowyly starting to feel the pressure set in. It's not so bad right now... but I can just FEEL where it's heading. For my own personal reference...

Tonight
4:00 - 6:00 // Reading and notes for Art Test and CG test tomorrow
6:00 - 8:00 // Drawing Lab. 10 or 15 pages of sketchbook.
8:00 - 1:00 AM // Watch two movies, and do write ups, Due Tomorrow

Friday
9:00 - 12:00 // Art Class, ART TEST
12:00 - 1:00 // Eat, study for CG test
1:00 - 2:30 // CG. work on assignment #2
2:30 - 5:30 // Film Class. Turn in Movie write-ups
5:30 - 7:30 // Do Modeling for CG
7:30 - 10:00 // Sketchbook, 20 pages (perspective exercises and CG prep work)
10:00 - 12:00 // Pack some stuff (linens, video tapes)

Saturday
7:30 - 9:30 // Do some more packing
9:30 - 11:00 // clean house
11:00 - 3:00 // Finish Packing
3:00 - 4:00 // Clean room/bathroom
4:00 - 6:00 // Sketchbook (Yes, MORE sketchbook)
6:00 - 11:00 // Watch two movies, and write them up

Sunday
Go to Japanese Cultural Festival with Alex and Andrew
Do extra credit sketchbook pages

And THAT is my schedule for the next few days. It doesn't seem so bad, now that I've written it down and can look back at it. I have 20 minutes to finish writing this entry, before I hit the books.

So I've been playing around in Maya, and finding this program is SO much easier to work with than 3D Studio Max. I still don't really like 3D modeling though. It makes my head hurt. I'd much rather do textures.

I talked to Kelsey yesterday. Apparently she's having a wonderful time in Florida. She says she hasn't had much time to really miss anyone, and she loves her room-mate. Says it's like having a sister... And that sorta bummed me out. I'm happy for her, really I am... but it's just that I'VE always been the one she said was like a sister to her, and I've known her since I was five. I know I shouldn't worry about it, and I'm not really worried... Just kinda bummed me out, ya know? I miss her so much...

So, I added another costume, officially, to my growing list of Planned Costumes on cosplaylab.com: Kikyou. If you've read any of my blog, I've sure you've heard me rant and rave enough already about how much I'm in LOVE with the priestess robes. ^ ^; I also want to do a Young!Kaede, so that outfit will be re-usable. ^____^ And then I was thinking about my Sango costume, and I got all excited about THAT again. It will be finish for halloween if it KILLS me, damnit. I was also experimenting with my hair and - joy of all joys~! - I can style my hair so that it actually puffs out like Sango's. *_* I'll just get hair extensions for the forelocks and bangs. ::nodnod:: I also think I know know how I'm going to make my Hiraikotsu: cut the shape out of foam (either styrofoam or like...squishy-foam), coat the entire thing in house paint, spray the HELL out of it with several layers of lacquer, to make it hard... then sand it, paint it, and decorate. The foam core should make it light, and the lacquer make it sturdy for the most part...but it'll be a LOT of lacquer. XD I'm such a cosplay wh0r3.

Hibari-chan showed me her Senior Picture proofs yesterday. MY god, she has changed SO MUCH since I saw her summer before last. She's SO CUTE with her hair all short and wavy and bright orange, my GOD, I barely recognised her! I need to beg her to send me a wallet-sized one, with a note on the back.

Speaking of Hibari, I haven't RPed for a couple of weeks now, and I'm feeling the withdrawls... SMI has been kinda weird lately though, and I think I need a bit of a break from my regulars in there... except Yuki, whom I love to death. I really need to talk to some people about fixing some CR stuff. Also, Inuyasha RPG has been calling to me. Good thing that's a rather infrequent RPG. But spekaing of which...someone actually foudn our website the other day, and wanted to join.. O.o I was like "whaaa?" He kinda sorta wanted to Play sesshoumaru... but He seems WAY to serious for our group, plus we're all so tight knit, and know each other so well... I don't know how to tell the guy no.

Oh shit, I went over my time. I hafta go start on my reading homework. . . I REALLY need a new blog layout. but I can't decide if I want Ayame, or Ayame/Kouga... I'll figure out later.

EDIT: it's 4:15. This damned PANDA model, I want to throttle it. ::sigh:: I jsut wanna go home and watch my movies for school, and do concept art. ::kicks Maya, and goes back to working::

EDIT 2: 4:54, and I am OUTTA HERE! I feel bad about not havign totally finish my sketchbook assignment...but I think I still did...alright. ::wince:: I fear the wrath of Abbott, but hope that I am not the only one who didn't finish it.

Okay, I lied. Looks like Kureno-kun is sticking around for another month, at least. I jsut dont' have the time to make a new layout, and I need to blog before I go absolutely INSANE. Let's kick it off with something fun though:

"When Doves Cry" (by Prince)
How could you just leave me standing,
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe you're just too demanding.
Maybe I'm just like my father--too bold.
Maybe you're just like my mother.
She's never satisfied.
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like,
When doves cry.

Anyway... so almost a week ago, school started up again. I only have five classes this semester though, and I'm thankful for that. For projects, I only have one team mate... we'll see how that works out. For the most part, I'm doing alright at staying on track for my classes. I have Wendy again for literature (I had her for creative writing last year) Royal for Projects and CG, Abbot for art, and Satlin again for film. ^_^ I like Satlin he rocks. All I really have that's right on the edge of a dealdine right now, is the sketchbook assignment I've been working on all day, and am currenlty taking a break from, to blog before I go insane. In fact, right now, mom's yelling up at me to ask how my school work is going. -.- I didn't even start the sketchbook asignment til today, because I spent the whole of yesterday TRYING to pack my room, only to find that I couldn't because puting all my masse sof tapes, DVDs, etc, into one big box, would make a box that was incapable of being lifted. So, I packed, but nto really. Then, I found out the sketchbook assignment is due on monday at 10:30 AM, not WEDNESDAY morning, like I'd thought. But it's not too bad really... I'l get it done, even if I have to stay up until about 1:00 or 2:00 AM. I don't have class until 10:30 tomorrow anyway. Mom was bitching at me today about how I shouldn't put my homework off until the last minute. FUCK. She's the one who had me PACKING yesterday, and I already spent the week doing my OTHER homework because I THOUGHT this wasn't due until wendesday. ::Sigh:: What the hell does she THINK I was doing staying late at school this whole week? Socializing? Dinking around on the computer? Yeah. RIGHT. She doens't realise that I COULD stil have Literature, CG, and a whole bunch of OTHER stuff to do at the same time. and THEN I tell her I have things to do, and that's what she gets for moving in the middle of school, and SHE says something about I need to learn to do more at once. FUCK. I want to THROTTLE her sometimes.

Dad gave me a lecture a few weeks ago on international copyright laws, because of my downloading stuff. -.- I TRIED telling him fansubs have been going on for DECADES, and no one has EVER cared enoguh to take actions, and that thye don't HAVE the same laws in japan, and none of the stuff I get is available by american companies...::sighs:: but oh well. I'll make my parents happy. I uninstalled bit torrent and Kazaa, and I'm just going to get the remaining episodes from Ilana and Eve. *_* I love them SO MUCH for helping me out.

Let's see, what else do I have to say...? Oh. I'm official hooked on Ranma 1/2. XD Ilana provided me with the OVA's, and Alex and Andrew have been providing me with the series itself. I'm planning for my second costume at the con to be Ukyou. ^_^ I also have a strange fascination with the concept of Ukyou/Mousse. Don't ask.

Inuyasha RPG is going nicely. Last ngiht, while I was packing, Kim, Ilana, Keryn and Ryan all played around with the wolf youkai, and introduced Ayame. ^_^ Fun stuff. I need to post that log on the website soon. While doing homework, I also collected screencaps of character from the show from Ilana, and she also finished sending me the Inuyasha movie, and the newest episode. Movie so prettyyyyy.... *_*

But, I really need to get going. I feel a little bit better, now that I've made a bit of a brain dump. I'll probabaly think of more stuff to say later, 'cause I KNOW I missed a lot of details. Bah.
