Yah so as those of you who bother to read my journal know I dared myself last wednesday to go a week without DA and fanfiction. Quickly after I posted that and left the site I went into withdrawal and damn this overlapping thing is annoying. Anyway, so I took myself to youtube in an attempt to find something to do. I got through just about every KHR doujin on there in a matter of hours. For the first 2 days I managed to distract myself with writing, video making, and msn. However it didn't last long as I found myself fighting not to click DA in my list of options. Didn't work so well as after 2 days I went on, but I quickly found that as long as there's something to delete in my inbox, I'm perfectly sattisfied to do nothing else XD That's kinda showy of my personality, yay inferiority complex!! Makes me take it out on whatever I can deem too blah to be looked at or read. So yeah that was a pretty much auto phail. However then there was the second part of not reading ff. GAWD!! D: Y'know how I was all over youtube? Made me want to track down good KHR fanfictions, plus just the stories that I enjoy in general such as Riku and Sora and others that I could probably recite to myself. I lasted! Until sunday when my second favourite story updated and I was all "FUCK THAT! I've been waiting forever for the next chapter to be released" *click* and so I failed twice as hard, so now I'm trying another dare which I think I can make for one week so if I do we'll see how bad the withdrawal is before I decide if I'm going to go for longer. I REALLY like the hot chocolate here (pretty much the only edible thing in our dining hall) so I'm going to try and go without it for a week or more. It's not as healthy to my studies, but it's healthier for my body.

NEXT WEEK IS MAH BIRTHDAY!!!!! People should celebrate and make me pretty pictures. I'm still waiting on several requests that I've made in the past, maybe you people can get to work on my sunsets now? Haha! Aren't I just the greedy little bugger. Not my fault I'm surrounded by amazing artists Also coming up are and 's birthdays. I'm not sure how they feel about me releasing their birthdays to the internet public that pays me no heed but yah! Go visit them, make them pretty art or contribute to my present to them by giving them pageviews. While you're at it look through their stuff, it's pretty sweet stuff. Trust me I know good art (modest to boot, wow aren't I a catch? SLEEP DEPRIVATION) now go see the pretties invisible non-existant watchers!!! Okay Imma gonna go to sleep after I fold my laundry...or should I just pull an all nighter so that I'll actually have everything ready when class rolls around? I'll sleep till 7, that sounds good. NIGHT

My class is constantly nagging me to join their dare to end aids campaign. Given my position (on top of a mountain) I cannot do the dares for fundraising but I've decided to do my own little dare. Wish me the best of luck! If all turns out according to plan I won't find out until next week. That's right! I'm giving up deviantart and fanfiction for a week. I really hope that I can do this, otherwise I should try to find someone to give me therapy or maybe a 12 step program to become less addicted. Watch, this will be the week that all my fave stories from fanfiction pop up in my inbox. Maybe this'll give me a bit more appreciation for all the art I rabidly attack. Please try not to overfill my inbox by the time next week rolls around. That'd be painful DX

ANyways onto important things. Like and her amazing arts. I am particularly fond of her photos, good thing she takes so many huh?

[link] MY BABEH!! D':

[link] Pretty pretty~

[link] <3

These are just a few of her many many pretty arts. Artemis most definately doesn't NEED the feature (LOOK at how many pvs she has!), but she's also definately DESERVING of one (If you failed to do so the first time look at the pretty art now). Plus I signed a tiny fragment of my soul to her so it's kinda mandatory XD Yeah so that's about it for important things. Just thought I should tell people that I'm disappearing for a week before people start bitching me out for not responding...I don't think I've left anything out...NOPE!

Send me movie, anime, game, music, and other such recommendations! Hah! In 2 weeks and 30 mins I'll be legal!...*calculates in head* HA! I'm still the older twin!!! Okay I'll seriously go away now. Bye guys! Much love and many <3s

Okay so I had a fun Turkey Day Weekend!...Okay so I was mostly bored to death because I didn't want to study but at the same time there was no one around except for the asians who don't live off the hill (Note: SFU is on top of a hill so when we say off the hill it's basically just everywhere in the general Vancouver area that we need to take the bus to get to) So anyway I was kinda shocked when Monday rolled around and was like "Hey we get food tonight!...*starves self all day to have room at supper time* I'm thankful for-insert cheezy line here" Then I taught aforementioned asians about what we do before eating all the food, and the actual (forgotten) values of the holiday. For all you americans (none of which are subscribed to my journal as far as I know) enjoy your holiday next month and say that you're thankful that we have a new KH game to mess around with and twist into our disturbing yaoi fantasies.

Hmmm, my club here's been pretty lame, and they keep insisting on activities involving money. I know it's what makes our capitalist world go round, but couldn't we do something nerdy without spending money? Oh yah fyi I'm in the Alterred Reality Club (ARC) Gaming on Tuesdays (no video games ) and anime on thursdays. Supposedly cosplay on Mondays but I learned quickly that they want people who can sew. I say screw that and if they get something together I'll just stalk them to the park or wherever with my camera. Either way I still wanna dress up for Halloween, but I have no idea what as!! I don't exactly have the supplies need here at uni. Any and all suggestions are love <3

Hmm, I found out that the whole studying to classic/concert/non-lyrical music doesn't work for me. No guess what increases my study ability? Dance music! Especially this lovely little song [link] I can write my notes SOOOOOOOOO much faster with this, and it's a lot less depressing than Skillet and random music without words written by some japanese dude. Speaking of music I found a store near school that specializes in music boxez! The Sister one is the prettiest I think. It was actually amusing listening to them because some of them sounded familiar, and the one for Daughter was Wonderful World. In the same mall I got a job interview for next wendesday at-wait for it-EB GAMES! I R HAPPEH!!!! I don't have the job and if I do get it it's only a temp position for the holidays but hey it seems to be a fun enough place to work. We'll see how I do in retail compared to restuarant phone person.

*Clicks tongue* Oh yeah! I died this week on Wednesday! It was very sad, I got a disease on Tuesday, Died Wednesday and still had to pull BS out of my ass for the project. In a class of 422 students, the teacher expects us to find something that could lose students to follow up, make them immune, give them the disease and kill them. My answers involved Aliens, Carmen SanDiego, Canucks Fans, and Bad Reality TV. Other school news? Exams from Hell? I very much dislike university. Especially since all the things that are coming back from IB to bite me in the ass are the things I did poorly in, that or I haven't done them in 2+ years. Sorry prof, I left the physics notes in WInnipeg seeing as y'know YOU'RE MY BIOLOGY PROFESSOR!!! SAME TO YOU PSYCH!! GAH

I got the new Kingdom Hearts Game by the way if no one could guess from my earlier description. I'm having lots of fun with it so far. I'm only on day 97 or something. Either way I'm big time stuck on the mechanical sandworm heartless. Sorry Allie, you made a bet so 20 points *shrugs* Someone should tell her that the tape points now outnumber the house points, because I don't believe Allie reads this.

Oh yeah! I have a neighbour here who is also my friend by random circumstance. No seriously I met her because she was pissed when I came home monday after my alarm had gone off at 7 am saturday morning before school had even started. I didn't even know she was my neighbour until we walked to our rooms after watching Howl's moving castle and she was like "Hey we should have tes later" and walked into her room right beside mine. Yeah I was a little weirded out. Anyway She helps me with 2 main things! 1. somehow inspiring my stories of hideous. She doesn't even say anything half the time, she just sits there on the bus with me up or down the hill and it's suddenly EUREKA!!! Inspiration. Bah humbug, too much writing. At the same time however she scares me, and I don't know why. The other day I knew I disliked her attitude cuz it was pretty much bitch bitch bitch, Katie come here there and everywhere with me like you're my bitch -_- and then she wonders why I don't wanna be her pillow at supper.

Okay now for the important info before I fall asleep at the desk and wake up to msn tomorrow morning. We all know it would happen. Kay so my amazing ne-chan is part of the LGBT club back home at her university. Anywayz they're having a Homo-Hop I believe it's called, and she wants some help with pictures for ads I believe. The theme is Twisted Fairy Tales. Even though my twin claims that means anything goes (and she's probably right since she's most likely been to more meetings than myself) I still think it would be more like yaoi, yuri,and cross-dressing meets disney. No one kill me for the crude tactless way I said that, it's 2 am I've been up since 7 am and I'm just talentless like that. Anyway, any art would be appreciated, and ne-chan's even promised a commision of anything you like photoshopping and all to the winner. So that everyone is aware, even if I don't win my pictures will still make their way up on here. So far I have RikuxSora meets Beauty and the Beast.

All details are through this link: [link]

I think that's all my mind can spout off at the moment. That's why I'm going back to reading mindless fanfiction. Oh and as well before I leave I solved the video mystery despite its misleading clips!! Happy AuWrMo people

~Katie (needs sleep)

Hey people! It's late at night, and I'm avoiding homework so you know what that means right? Rant time!! If you can't guess today's topic you fail at life. We're talking about babies!

and how I NEVER want to have them

People ask me why I don't want kids, and I wonder to myself why anyone WOULD want them. Honestly girls! Where's the incentive? Only one I see is that it's cute and dress upable, but so are dolls, puppies, other people's kids that you don't have to take care of.

Ok let's start from the beginning of the torture. 9 months. That's how long you're carrying around this parasite that's shooting your hormones to every end of the universe and back at lightspeed and making you crave ridiculous foods. Not only that, but it's making you fat, and I have yet to meet a girl who says I want to be fatter. I've met a few who know they need to, but no one who wants to. So yeah there's that. Then there's getting the thing OUT. Do I really need to go into the kind of pain/ hell in a handbasket THAT would be? I think by now your mothers should all have explained the level of pain at least a little. Then the screaming bundle of joy is out. Yay...

We'll take a brief depressing intermission before going into the life of this kid.
Let's think about this for a second. How many mental/physical disabilities, diseases, handicaps, and other such are out there? However slight the chances are, one of them could be your baby. Just sayin' Yes you'd love it anyway, but really I lack that sort of patience, but that will either go into another intermission or an afterthought. Oh and back to the process of giving birth, the amount of things that can go wrong! The baby can die, you can die, or both you and the baby can die. True you could both live, but you could also die. I'm not too fond of the idea myself.

So back to how the kid grows up. Newborn. It can't communicate effectively in any other way than crying. A lot. For everything. No matter what time it is. Not exactly the thing's fault but still frustrating. Next it's a toddler...it's moving and talking. Moving on wobbly feet that fall most of the time. More crying, oh joy. Not to mention the potential for breaking things, getting everywhere you can't see them, just being a plain old pain in the butt. Talking, what were your first words? Mine were Go away. Most kids quickly learn the words no and why. If these don't lead you to strangle your baby good on you. So let's do another time skip to when this thing is an elementary school student. Cherish the days of brattish behaviour, whining, the need for every new toy on the shelf, and messes in the mud because I've only just begun on the bad stuff. Pre-teen years. Anyone remember those? Puberty and all that good stuff, or worse yet if they have a case like mine where pre-teen years involved the same level of angst without any of the development to show you were infact 12 and not 7. Putting up with mood swings, tears, typical angsty behaviour, and growth spurts that make you go shopping for new clothes every month. Oh yes, this is also about the time that most kids get braces, cha-ching $.$ Probably glasses and whatnot thrown in there as well at some point or another, but hey, they're your kid so what's a couple 100-1000 dollars for their health? Oh and since hormones are now being thrown into the mix they'll probably start on the whole I'm so in love with so and so. Next day they're crying a fountain of tears because it didn't work out. Not to mention you have to teach them about sex because we all know the school's not doing a very good job of explaining. Seriously, I don't even want to go into how little I knew based on what the schools told me until I met the glorious perverts in my life (made me into one you did) So now they're all developed and finding their place more or less in the world...independence they like to call it. So your teenager thinks they know everything there is to know about in the world and you as the parent don't. You don't understand them, they want you out of their life, etc, etc. Meanwhile, as they spout that they don't need you they demand that you pay for everything until you finally turn back to them and tell them to get a job. Sadly since it's minimum wage, you're still paying for a lot of their shit. Oh? Did I mention that they're still angsting probably? Yay to coming home with the worry that your teen will be screwed up somehow, let it be blood, alcohol, or drugs. Or not there at all. Probably conveniently forgot to tell you that they're gonna be somewhere. Last, since I can't look back at anothing else in retrospect is that darn thing called post-secondary education and prom. You hear that woosh? That's the wind blowing through your empty wallet. I'll say it again cha-ching, but again it's for their happiness and to helping them out in the real world (I actually have no idea if uni does that or not) so no big deal right?

So that's why I wonder what the incentive is towards having a child. Anyways, if you think you can put up with all the things your parents obviously did then I'll just give my reasons for not having kids which will then make you think bad person with good intentions. So, I'm violent. If I don't like something I let it be known, most of the time physically. It's not as bad as it used to be (mostly because my group of friends became lame in the sense that they all refuse to battle me, and when one does their boyfriend happens to step in. I can't do 2 against 1, just not gonna happen.) but I'm still known for kicking and leaving scars, scratching with long nails that sometimes leave blood, pulling ears, slapping, and recently I've developed a desire to punch people. So yeah, if you think the kid's gonna be raised in a poor environment for development just think about the bit I said before about lacking patience. My violent ways get taken out on those whom I lack patience for so the chances of me hurting the kid are relatively high. Hrm, anything else to say there? I think it should be obvious by now right?

Tell me what you think if anyone read this. Any parts that you agree with? Anything you'd like to say in defence of having children? Wanna just randomly poke me? (make up for it after by saying something about my huge ass rant please) Tell me if I started a topic then said I would continue after and didn't. At this point I'm dead, and not bothering to mess with this journal. I'll probably stick this on livejournal as my first entry one day if I choose to use it.

Oh yeah, and people, I'm thinking of starting a vlog! What will go on it? For sure usual life useless, but is there anything I could throw in to make it exciting? Either way this'll probably come up in it at some point or another. Gimme ideas! Kay! Goin to sleep now, night guys!!

Hey people! Taking a break from Phantom of the Opera while youtube lags and all that fun stuff to write in my journal. SO, I'm in university now, hoorah. In fact I'm at SFU (chosen cuz it's 1 letter off of being a txt insult) which is in BC. I'm having a ton of fun so far and I will go through the reasons why.

1)Hotties. EVERYWHERE. Seriosly we have people from all over the world and pretty much all of them are gorgeous. British, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, Italian, Mexican. I'm going through a culture explosion and loving it. Most importantly, hawt asian boys...and of course there was a really hawt gey guy the other day. I believe I've already gone over my curse numerous times, so no need to repeat it for now.

2) I found a gothic lolita store. In CANADA. Do you have any idea how hard that is to find usually? Best part about it is the advertisement. "Goth, Punk, Lolita, and Wedding Accessories" Whoda thunk?

Not much else, still waiting on the whole "I'm lonely" bit to kick in, though I haven't really had the time. Ugh, I just had to inhale a plate of chocolate. Normally that'd be a grea thing, but someone *cough no name cough* found a way to make chocolate disgusting, and now it feels like it's at the back of my sinuses. Ewwwwwww

As for deviation updates, chances are you'll only be getting photography for quite some time seeing as there is no scanner. Meh, gives me a chance to mess around with the camera (as if I don't do THAT enough)

Any suggestions on what I should do for Labour Day? Or am I just gonna hang around all day and watch musicals on the computer? Talk at me people. Miss everyone I haven't seen in a while tons (A week+ is a while)
