  <title>WTF, Brain.</title>
  <author>dragoncelestial</author>
  <link>https://dragoncelestial.livejournal.com/24570.html</link>
  <description>So, you know how, if you have music playing when you go to sleep, your brain will sometimes incorporate the music into the dreams you&apos;re having? (If you haven&apos;t tried it, it&apos;s... interesting the kind of contexts your brain can put it in. Pretty sure I&apos;ve had a dream or two in the style of a musical.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&apos;s this song which I hadn&apos;t heard in... YEARS, I think, that suddenly came on the radio when I was working on a final project last week. I had only heard it that one time recently - I&apos;m pretty sure the time before that was probably when I was still in middle/high school, because it was on one of my dad&apos;s CDs (if I recall correctly).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was napping for a little bit earlier this evening and started dreaming that that song was playing in some form or fashion. Some of the lyrics were definitely wrong, but it was otherwise that same song. Only thing was, I didn&apos;t have ANY music playing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ironically enough, in that dream, I was thinking to myself about how weird it was to have dreams with music in them because it was playing while you were sleeping. And that I was glad how I wasn&apos;t dreaming at the moment... while listening to that song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hell, brain?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the song in question, by the way. (Even with the weirdness that was that dream, I&apos;m glad I was apparently thinking about it, because I actually quite like the song.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id=&quot;6&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blah blah haven&apos;t posted in forever sorry guys. SO YEAH it&apos;s been a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, bin Laden is supposedly dead? The fuh? I&apos;m not sure I should believe that until I see some actual evidence... in addition to the speech Obama&apos;s supposed to give, in which I&apos;m not even sure he&apos;s going to say that he&apos;s absolutely, positively gone. Not that I&apos;m going to discount what he&apos;s going to say, don&apos;t get me wrong. It&apos;s just been ten years since the hunt for him first started. It&apos;s hard to believe he&apos;s finally been brought down, you know? Gonna keep myself from believing it too readily for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;I think I know what platform he&apos;s going to be campaigning on for 2012.&lt;/strike&gt;</description>

  <title>Slight vexation.</title>
  <author>dragoncelestial</author>
  <link>https://dragoncelestial.livejournal.com/24296.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;A couple of things for our lovely mail service:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Would it have killed you to deliver the item I&apos;ve been waiting for at the time you&apos;re usually here to deliver the mail every day, instead of an hour or two early? Also, did you even knock for someone to come to the door? There are three people on this side of the house who could have heard you do so, and I&apos;d&apos;ve gotten right up if I&apos;d heard any such noise, but I didn&apos;t. How many times did you try before you gave up? Once?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) It&apos;s pretty bad when even your automated mail system pronounces names incorrectly. I&apos;ll admit, &amp;quot;Sprayd-ling&amp;quot; is one I haven&apos;t heard before, BUT IT&apos;S STILL WRONG.&amp;nbsp;Could you maybe fix that? I know there are lots of other families down here that would probably appreciate it, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully, the signed notice now hanging on the front door will guarantee that the parcel you&apos;re playing keep-away with will actually STAY here tomorrow and not take another ride around the city with you, so I won&apos;t have to arrange a pickup TWO days from now instead of one. Seriously.</description>

  <title>Update about dA accounts.</title>
  <author>dragoncelestial</author>
  <link>https://dragoncelestial.livejournal.com/23002.html</link>
  <description>Ended up making a new account for fanart after all. I made it related to the &quot;original art&quot; account I made a while back so that it would be more apparent whose account it was. That, and I liked the name idea I came up with for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not going to post what the two new accounts are for now, since what&apos;s the point of doing so if I don&apos;t know when I&apos;ll start updating them? I figure the original art account will likely get my attention sooner, since I&apos;ve actually got some finished work I can put up for it. I&apos;m not sure what I can put up in the new fanart account that&apos;s actually finished, aside from maybe some of the stuff I uploaded to my old account. But any of those that I move there will probably be shuffled off to Scraps anyway, since they&apos;re older. I&apos;d like to have some stuff in the main gallery before I share the page with everyone else. I&apos;ll post again about them when I&apos;ve managed that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a related note, I started playing around in Dreamweaver last week and made a basic site layout for myself. It&apos;s nothing fancy; no graphics or anything yet, just black text on a white background with all the pages basically saying &quot;COMING SOON&quot;... I hope I can do more with it. Having my own personal site would be kind of cool, especially if I&apos;m planning to sell anything I make in the future (which I&apos;ve been thinking quite a bit about, actually. Got a few ideas I want to explore for that). I&apos;m not sure what all I&apos;m going to do with it, though; I&apos;ve got lots of ideas down already, but I need to figure out what I should develop and what I should cut out. Don&apos;t want to cut anything out yet, but it&apos;ll come down to what works and what doesn&apos;t when I have to decide anything about that. In any case, I&apos;m likely not going to be able to do anything with it for a while, additional, smaller changes aside. I&apos;ve not thought anything about hosts and costs and couldn&apos;t handle that at the moment, anyway; too much schoolwork to try to keep up with, and now I have a job on the weekends to pay attention to, too... so it&apos;s going to be really busy. By the time I&apos;m ready to work on those things for the site, my dA pages should already have a lot more life to them, hopefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When that happens, though, is all dependent on my school stuff. Right now I&apos;m feeling swamped and a little more than strained, and I need to work even harder to make sure my grades are better than they are now. I&apos;ve got a few extra days to work on a couple of projects for two of my studios, but... I&apos;m still going to be/already am in a crunch for them. My stop-motion project is one of them. I hope I can manage to finish it.</description>

  <title>Quick request for help.</title>
  <author>dragoncelestial</author>
  <link>https://dragoncelestial.livejournal.com/22610.html</link>
  <description>So, I&apos;ve got a stop-motion animation project that&apos;s due in a couple of weeks, and I&apos;ve been trying to figure out some specifics regarding the character I want to animate, since I&apos;m wanting to do a segment of my assignment in claymation. Before I can actually make the character, I need to make an armature for him/her. (Not really decided on a gender and I&apos;m kind of thinking I don&apos;t want to. He/she&apos;s supposed to be pretty young and a little androgynous in features anyway.) And, before I can make the armature, I need to settle on the proportions of the character&apos;s figure. I&apos;m trying to decide between two different versions of this kid and I&apos;m kind of stumped as to which one would be better to go with. I&apos;m talking &quot;better&quot; as in &quot;easier and/or more practical to manipulate&quot;, because he/she&apos;s going to be bending over and straightening up, climbing out of nothing, twisting halfway, walking, and making fairly intense expressions. (Though I read that I can just make multiple heads and the like for that last part.) In short, I need to make sure I can move him/her around like I need to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if anyone can take a quick look at the two versions I have for his/her build and make suggestions about which one looks like it&apos;d be better to go with, I&apos;d really appreciate it. Here&apos;s the picture for them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c38/KinoFourpaws/Doodles%20and%20Stuffs/ClaymationFigureProportions.png&quot; fetchpriority=&quot;high&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple of people I&apos;ve shown this to already have suggested I go with the one on the left that&apos;s four heads tall. I&apos;m not sure I should, though, because A) he/she looks like he/she might be a little too thickset like that and B) four heads tall is, as I&apos;ve found out, an infant&apos;s proportions. I wanted to make the character young, but not THAT young. So I don&apos;t know if it&apos;ll be appropriate, even considering this is a little on the cartoony side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, the other segment of this animation is intended to be hand-drawn and I have a lot of movements I want this kid to do in that part, too (mostly walking, making faces, making frustrated gestures, and slumping down and standing back up again suddenly). I could probably do that okay with the kid on the right, but I&apos;m not sure how it would look if I used the kid on the left, since he/she is a little thicker with four heads&apos; worth of height.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an aside, both versions are actually drawn to the height I want the figure to be (about eight inches tall). So going with one version or the other doesn&apos;t mean I&apos;ll be working with a taller or shorter figure, just one with bigger or smaller proportions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the moment, I&apos;m honestly not really looking for critique on this one unless it&apos;s related to how either version is going to look and behave when actually put together with armature and clay. I think I have the different parts of the body about to the size I want for each of these versions and really would only be going back to modify either form slightly at this point. I just need a few more opinions about the better scale to work with, and then I want to move on so I can get this character put together and animated. I hope nobody holds that against me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suggestions, then? Anybody? Please? :X</description>

  <title>Indecision.</title>
  <author>dragoncelestial</author>
  <link>https://dragoncelestial.livejournal.com/22191.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;m not sure what I want to do with my current deviantART page. Aside from comment threads I respond to, I&apos;ve really not been putting any life into it. The last time I apparently submitted anything to it was more than two years ago. It&apos;s not like I&apos;ve upped and stopped drawing or anything... I still do it all the time. But I don&apos;t think I really have anything finished that I want to put on there. Hell, I don&apos;t even know if I have ANY personal art that I&apos;ve finished in all this time (that wasn&apos;t just crap done with a touch pad, at least)... most everything that I could call &quot;done&quot; is stuff I&apos;ve done for school. I don&apos;t think it&apos;s really because art classes are sucking up my energy to draw; maybe they do a little, but... I think, in general, I just don&apos;t seem to have it together where I can take a picture or an idea and really, actually put in everything to finish it. And I really want to change that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, though, my dA page has essentially been left to rot. I&apos;ve gone for fairly long periods without even going onto the site and checking stuff. I think I&apos;ve only really popped back to any sign of life on there again because of classmates I know who also use the site. I mean, I check for updates to the people I watch, and stick my nose in places where it shouldn&apos;t go on occasion, but... that&apos;s been about it for the last two years. I don&apos;t really want to leave it this way, but... if/when I start uploading to the site again, I&apos;m not sure I even want to upload it to that page anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, I made that account six years ago, when I was fourteen. I picked a pretty stupid name for it and uploaded a bunch of anime pictures that I had hand-copied from references and were not exactly new by the time I put them up. I&apos;ve not really updated it much at all in all this time (I&apos;ve got three, maybe four pages if you count the scraps I&apos;ve put up), and... well, the majority of it is crap. And fanart. I want to get a little more serious with the stuff I put up -- possibly one of the reasons why I end up finishing things less often: the anality of a perfectionist coupled with the attention span and dedication of a gnat. But even though I&apos;m struggling to work that dynamic out, I still want to put up something of higher quality than what I have previously. Even if it&apos;s not OHMYGAWD AMAZING, I still want to show something more worth looking at, you know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I&apos;m pretty sure of one thing at this point: at least as far as original, more serious stuff goes, I don&apos;t want to put it there. I want to put keep it on another page. I&apos;ve tried this before with Sheezy and I&apos;m not really sure it worked out. But... I kind of want to try again. I&apos;ve already made a new account on dA for this purpose, actually, and picked out a name that I like. It&apos;s currently empty right now, unfortunately... has been ever since it was made. I&apos;m guessing I should at least update it with some of the stuff I&apos;ve done for classes; I do have images of a couple of those that I can put up at the current time. Other than that, it&apos;s waiting for me to get my act together and finish some of the stuff I have lying around. I don&apos;t know how long that will take.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t know what I&apos;m going to do with my old account, either, for that matter. I&apos;m not sure I want to keep using it, but I&apos;m just as unsure about whether I should just purge it completely and start fresh with a new account for fanart. I still draw fanart quite a bit, so it&apos;s not like I&apos;d just close the page down and not give myself a new place to put up what I like from what I&apos;ve been making. And I don&apos;t really want to keep my fanart and my original art together in the same account anymore, so I definitely don&apos;t want to put it in the empty account I&apos;ve got right now. Going with a new account would let me pick out a better name... but I&apos;d also lose the feedback I&apos;ve gotten on the stuff I have on there and it might be harder for everyone whom I talk to or who watches me (for whatever reason) to find me at the new location. I&apos;d leave a journal up saying where, but... well, I guess if anyone doesn&apos;t bother checking the journal, maybe I wouldn&apos;t really be losing them at this point anyway. Probably lost them years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m still not sure, though. Do I simply go through and hide/purge the worst of the bad stuff from my gallery and then keep using it, or do I make a new one entirely so as not to worry as much about the older stuff? ... And when am I ever going to get my ass in gear and actually finish some of the artwork I have lying around? It&apos;s not like I don&apos;t want to...</description>

I&apos;m still missing a few (expensive) pieces, apparently. Too bad I&apos;m a broke college student who can&apos;t really afford to get a job while in the middle of a semester. ;_;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... Same goes for stuff like traveling and getting a car so I can visit people instead of just talking to them on the internet. BUT ALAS, I FACE THE SAME OBSTACLES FOR THEM. Groan.</description>

  <description>&lt;lj-template name=&quot;qotd&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TOUGHING IT OUT. Because there&apos;s no way I can afford to lie in bed all day and miss classes and whatever. I DON&apos;T HAVE TIME TO BE ANY COLD&apos;S BITCH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to say I wouldn&apos;t like sleeping during it a lot better, though. :( But when I can&apos;t, at least I have cough drops and teas (when I can reach them). Hmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news... I think what little internet connection at the apartment we&apos;ve had has been broken. It seems to connect to the network, but that&apos;s it; no actual internet access since mid-yesterday. Heaven knows if the people who actually own it are going to fix it (or if they have, if they haven&apos;t put anything in to keep outsiders from using their connection to surf the web). I suppose it helps curb distractions, but when I need to get on it for even a moment to take care of something important... well, that&apos;s impossible now, too. :/ In any case, I&apos;ll likely not be around too much unless I&apos;m on campus. Bleh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YAAAY TECHNOLOGY. -__-</description>

  <title>There needs to be a cap on the difficulty for sophomore-level classes.</title>
  <author>dragoncelestial</author>
  <link>https://dragoncelestial.livejournal.com/19845.html</link>
  <description>Yes, I&apos;m alive. Only barely, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&apos;d figure that with it being summer and all, I&apos;d have enough free time to ramble in this thing more often, right? Unfortunately, that&apos;s not the case due to summer classes. I actually have been taking summer courses since I started college, but the workload for this summer is particularly heavy, even with a class less than usual. The heavy class happens to be an &lt;s&gt;introductory&lt;/s&gt; sculpture class (not even a higher-level course) and it&apos;s kicking my ass. Half- and all-nighters are par for the course right now, so it seems that a good chunk of the time that I&apos;m conscious, I&apos;m really wishing I didn&apos;t have to be. But, I don&apos;t really have the option of dropping (something I&apos;m dreading being told I should do right now... ) so I have to maintain focus, keep at it, and hope for the best. :/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to say, the teacher herself is okay for the most part, but her teaching methods are nuts. I could write up a huge rant about how insane the workload she&apos;s giving us is and about how some of her quirks and expectations of us further exacerbate the whole mess by about two or three times, but there&apos;d be too much to talk about and I really don&apos;t have the time to expound upon the whole thing. The basic gist of the whole deal is that she is extremely demanding and that she&apos;s apparently trying to cram in almost everything she can in regards to design as well as sculpture (like she&apos;s trying to make up for any possible lack of coverage on the former that we should have gotten in previous art classes already). Other classmates have said that she&apos;s apparently only this demanding in this particular class and that all the other sculpture classes she teaches are practically a breeze in comparison, apparently because she&apos;s trying to make absolutely sure that we can sculpt competently once we&apos;re done. I can understand her wanting to achieve this, but the lengths to which she goes to do so is just, ghhhh.... A lot of students who take this class end up dropping or failing and having to take it repeatedly. For those who manage to pass, there&apos;s still a mountain-load of stress and slow work to deal with. Like I mentioned, all-nighters for this class are common, and not just for work that&apos;s due the next day. For example, almost everybody who was still taking the class was in here just tonight working on their stuff for their finals. This is not an occasional thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel kind of bad, though, even with the workload that I&apos;m dealing with, that I&apos;m not doing other stuff very often right now, like personal arting and the like. I was really wanting to draw a bunch of pictures and maybe print them in time to sell them at the local convention here, or to work on a cosplay or two that I&apos;ve really been wanting to put together for it. I was wanting to try to get a job, even. But from the looks of it, I might not even be able to go to said convention because IT FALLS ON THE WEEKEND RIGHT BEFORE FINALS THIS YEAR WHY DIDN&apos;T YOU GUYS KEEP IT THE WEEK AFTER GADDAMNIT, *flail*... though, my sister (or maybe both, even) will be coming down for it, so at least I&apos;ll be able to spend some time with them. Kind of missed seeing them a lot this summer. :( As for the job, well, at this point, I really don&apos;t think it&apos;d be feasible to have one at the same time I&apos;m working on this classwork, even if I got a random offer for one today. I thought I might be able to handle a little part-time work in addition to my class stuff at first, but I seem to stand grossly corrected on that assumption. It really stinks, too, because I really need the money. I have to rely on my mom for everything financial in nature right now, including food when she remembers to take that into account. :/ Beh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the plus side (mostly)... I&apos;m now in an apartment instead of a dorm, so I have a more-or-less private room now. It&apos;s a place that allows pets! That&apos;s something I can&apos;t say about anywhere else I&apos;ve stayed when away for classes. I got to take care of my sister&apos;s newly-adopted kitten for a couple of days last week. :3 Maybe now I can try to ask my mom for a hedgehog and actually have hope that I&apos;ll get one. Or not. She might rather I get one on my own instead. :| Either way, any attempts to get one will have to wait until I&apos;ve finished all this schoolwork and probably secured some work-work to boot. The matter will just stay on the back-burner for now. Someday soon... someday...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m tired, augh. Contemplating taking a short nap before continuing with my work so I&apos;m not a total zombie today. Either way, I need to stop wasting precious time and wrap this (unintentionally long) entry up so I can get back to the business of passing this class. This course I&apos;ve figured is pretty much the &quot;trial by fire&quot; of the art department here, so if I expect to keep going in this major, I&apos;ve gotta make sure I make it through this, hopefully on this go and not a later one. Wishing for luck and praying that I&apos;ll survive. If I do, you&apos;ll probably know. Probably.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(On a completely unrelated, random note, yay for this Mew mood theme. My not-so-inner loser jumps for joy having it. Hee. &amp;lt;3)</description>

You enjoy living in your own inner world.&lt;br /&gt;Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships.&lt;br /&gt;It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close to you.&lt;br /&gt;But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards.&lt;br /&gt;You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values.&lt;br /&gt;You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When other people don&apos;t get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyourpersonalitytypequiz/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;What&apos;s Your Personality Type?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve taken this test at least three different times since high school. If I recall correctly, this is the same result I&apos;ve gotten previously as well. So, I guess from the looks of it, I&apos;m still basically the same personality-wise. Haha... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though, I will say, I had to think about more than a few of the questions. I remember doing the same the first time I took it... I think it took me about two or so times the amount of time that everyone else took to finish it (the first time was an in-class thing given out by the counselor, so for all I know, there&apos;s a version of this test that psychologists or the like actually use... could be wrong, though). But it&apos;s not always easy to choose between some of these answers... some of them are both desirable; it&apos;s just a matter of which one is more so. D: So yeah...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... I&apos;m sure this probably makes me sound like an emo or a pansy. A-heh-heh... 8D;</description>

  <description>&lt;lj-template name=&quot;qotd&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You mean, &quot;What would I need to hide?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are certain things that happen and that I write down that I would rather some of the people I know never see. It&apos;s not like I&apos;m talking smack about them or anything, it&apos;s just that some of the stuff that ends up here is too personal and I&apos;m not willing to show some of these thoughts to people who know me (or who assume they know me, I guess). If my parents ever got wind of this journal and tried to dig into some of it, I&apos;d immediately go through the whole thing and make most of my entries private. I don&apos;t want them to see something I never meant to share with them and try to pry into it further or embarrass me with it later. It&apos;s the same deal with friends, or really with anyone I meet who might stumble across this page, only on a slightly lesser scale, I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose the key word here is &quot;private&quot;. Some of this stuff is my own business and I prefer it that way. I&apos;m not apt to trust a lot of people enough to share this information, at least not among those people I&apos;ve met and dealt with in the real world. I&apos;m not one who finds it easy to open up to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... Now, I guess on the internet, it can be a wholly different story... people I&apos;ve never met in person even once being able to read everything if I&apos;ve got them on my friend&apos;s list. I suppose that&apos;s due in large part to the whole anonymity thing. :/ Then again, not everyone I have friended is from the internet, and those who are I (usually) have talked to quite a bit. So if they end up seeing something that I&apos;m not sure I want them to see, it&apos;s because I made the choice to let them see it, and if it really comes to bother me that much, or if there&apos;s anything REALLY personal that I&apos;d rather not share with anyone at all, I suppose there are always the private entries. Still, I&apos;d rather not do that very much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not sure if all that really makes sense, but yeah. :/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... And at some point I might end up wanting to hide even THIS journal entry, so that nobody I know who happens to see this starts to get curious. Irony...</description>

  <title>Awesome costume. And supreme loser-ness.</title>
  <author>dragoncelestial</author>
  <link>https://dragoncelestial.livejournal.com/18202.html</link>
  <description>Alright, I&apos;m not a furry or anything, but I do have an at least vague interest in cosplay, and I think that this is one particularly bitching costume that I definitely wouldn&apos;t mind wearing around for a while: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=&apos;_blank&apos; href=&apos;http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;amp;item=150329389017&apos; rel=&apos;nofollow&apos;&gt;http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;amp;item=150329389017&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Linked by &lt;span  class=&quot;ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-deleted  i-ljuser-type-P     &quot;  data-ljuser=&quot;baddakutachi&quot; lj:user=&quot;baddakutachi&quot; &gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://baddakutachi.livejournal.com/profile/&quot;  target=&quot;_self&quot;  class=&quot;i-ljuser-profile&quot; &gt;&lt;img  class=&quot;i-ljuser-userhead&quot;  src=&quot;https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.png?v=17080&amp;v=924&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://baddakutachi.livejournal.com/&quot; class=&quot;i-ljuser-username&quot;   target=&quot;_self&quot;   &gt;&lt;b&gt;baddakutachi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; over IRC.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was one of the few characters that I actually took a liking to in FFVII, too, so I guess that helps with the appeal a bit. Not to mention that it&apos;s really close to my size. xD!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too bad the current asking price is the same as the monetary goal I quoted for myself for a future trip to Otakon, which I&apos;m also far from able to afford right now. Oh well. So I guess all I can do here is gawk. And save the pictures. Which someone might see on my computer and get suspicious about, I&apos;m sure. xD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe at some point, though, I&apos;ll be able to make stuff of this quality by myself for my own use. Not a full-up fursuit or the like; that&apos;s way too much for me, and I don&apos;t think I could ever attain THAT level of skill, anyway... but if I can make convincing getups for characters like Nami and Crono, that&apos;d be enough for me. I already have a fairly sizable list of people I&apos;d like to cosplay as. :X&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First up (that I&apos;ve actually made steps towards putting together) is Luffy&apos;s. Ha, good luck with it, I tells myself...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[/procrastinate]&lt;br /&gt;[start=&quot;classwork&quot;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;_O;</description>

  <description>&lt;lj-template name=&quot;qotd&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s a reference to my Chinese astrological sign. I was born shortly before the Chinese New Year in 1989, so it&apos;s the dragon. Though, I thought for a while that it was the snake. xD; And I think it was a conscious choice of mine to make it &quot;dragoncelestial&quot; instead of &quot;celestialdragon&quot;... I guess &apos;cos I wanted to be more creative or something? I don&apos;t know. But whether or not that was the case, it turns out that the latter was taken anyway, last I knew. So eh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... And besides said reference, I like dragons. Hurr. 8B&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT: OH YEAH, I FORGOT TO MENTION. I was also into Escaflowne at the time I picked this name out. GA-DURR. *kneads temple*</description>

  <description>&lt;lj-template name=&quot;qotd&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he or she actually acts like one. If you&apos;re still throwing fits and causing drama and other shit because you&apos;re mad or bored or whatever other form of unhappy, then it doesn&apos;t matter if you&apos;re in your fifties; you&apos;re still a spoiled brat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have a brain. You have all the wisdom and experience you&apos;ll ever need in order to act like a mature adult literally at your fingertips if you&apos;d just look for and listen to them. So, use them. You&apos;ve no excuse not to. Really.</description>

  <description>I feel old. xD;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that my mom was rubbing it in a while ago doesn&apos;t help much, either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looks to be an uneventful day, otherwise. Eh.</description>

  <description>Linked to me by Kevin, one of the people I talk to on IM. This is really impressive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id=&quot;2&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He&apos;s got it in high-quality and has an MP3 of the music, so you should definitely look at those if you like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m just wowed that he put together an arrangement like that with all those instruments. I can barely even play a recorder properly. ;_;</description>
