I haven't updated in over six months. SIX MONTHS. What is wrong with me?

Basically:

1. I'm still alive, though the fact that I'm about to declare a double major may soon change that.

2. I still adore all of you. Just in a sad, non-commenting way. ♥

3. I'm pretty sure Naruto 487 had the first hint of humor that manga has seen in a while.

4. Aizen. 'Nuff said.

5. FMA = OMG.

6. Livejournal is such a wonderful method of procrastination, no?

Meme from betterinorange and kalliel.

Rules—
01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their LiveJournal.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!



I think I just set this as my desktop, like, a week ago. I've been wanting a desktop of that spread ever since it came out (which was what, a year ago?) and I found that one over on minitokyo.net. I ♥ all the characters and bright colors, so... yeah. Um. That's all.

In other news:

- Glee icon post coming up.
- Naruto spoilers and Bleach spoilers = yay.
- This show. ♥ My inner Jane Austen fangirl's joy surpasses words.

So, I was searching for drabble generators for some inspiration for the Zutara Perfect Summer Challenge and I found this little gem.

( The Adventure of the Bird (Zutara)Collapse )

( 1000 Sword Snakes (IchiRuki)Collapse )

( I'm Dreaming of an Agonizing Christmas (IchiRuki)Collapse )

Now let's see what YOU GUYS can come up with. =) ♥

I took my last AP exam today (and beasted it), meaning that I'm done with anything academic until mid-August. From here out I just have a band party, grad practice, awards day, senior night, and graduation~!

REJOICE WITH ME, FELLOW STUDENTS! WE'RE ALMOST THERE!

*ahem* Sorry for the blindingly large and obnoxious lines. I'm just reeeeally excited.

(But not about writing my speech. Which is due in about 9.5 hours. ACK.)

♥ & hugs

kalliel's birthday present! Hope you enjoy =D

We've spent all year preparing. We've spent the last month cramming. We've given ourselves minor back injuries trying to carry all of our textbooks and exam prep books. We've paid our dues, in cash, in time, and in tears. Every project, every presentation, every all-nighter has been leading up to this. Now it all comes down to a three-hour test.

AP Season is upon is. May God have mercy on our souls.


Seriously, I will be praying for everyone over the next two weeks. Good luck!


05/06 - Calculus AB It ate my brain. 2
05/11 - Biology Not as bad as I was expecting... 5
05/20 - English Language and Composition Owned it. (I hope.) 5

Happy Birthday, kazie_komikcat!

♥

Wow, almost four months without a real entry. It's like I'm trying to set a record or something. *headdesk* But, really, I'm sorry for the lack of activity- I've been keeping up with my f-list (but not commenting DX) but school and band and choir and WTF-ever else has been keeping me crazy busy.

SO. Anyway.

My Naruto drabble collection has also been unreasonably neglected, but AP English has drained any kind of inspiration from my mind. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could give me some requests to work off of- just some characters and a prompt- so I can start updating again.

♥ and thanks.

And also a Happy four-day belated Birthday to betterinorange! Please forgive me for not telling you sooner on account of... I'm a loser who doesn't check her upcoming birthdays list. *hugs and throws confetti*

"On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, 'Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: "The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again." ' Then they remembered his words."

- Luke 24:1-8, New International Version
(See also Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-8; and John 20:1-8)

Happy Easter.

~♥~ Happy birthday to me. ~♥~

I am so not ready to be (legally) an adult. D8

OMG. NARUTO 431.

THAT WAS LIKE THE MOST EPIC CHAPTER OF ANYTHING. It's almost enough to make up for the holiday hiatuses. If you haven't already read it then go do so now plz so you can join in the love.

( spoilersCollapse )

Merry Christmas, f-list!

I wish I had something cheerful and witty to add, but I need to hurry up and go to bed before my tylenol wears off.
♥

And to any Jewish friends, Happy Fourth Night of Chanukah! (I think)

So I come out to the computer, thinking I'll just check facebook, email, and friends page one quick time before I go to bed. I look at my friends page and don't see the naruto_news digest for today. While pondering over how odd that is, I remember that ha, ha I HAVE TO DO THAT THIS WEEK.

And now, an hour and almost 50 digest entries later, I'm going to bed.

♥

First two chapters of my new drabble series, over at ff.net.

Warnings: Inordinate amount of cuteness.
Author's Notes: For the record, I actually have no idea at what age kids learn how to brush their teeth, so I apologize if toddler Naruto is too young to be doing that already. Written for (and won!) naruto100's challenge "Parental Supervision."

( It was days like this that Kushina loved being a mother. )

Word Count: 275-ish
Summary: Naruto and Sasuke are fighting, Sakura is ignoring them, and Kakashi just wants to read his book in peace. Team 7 at the beach.
