Dw! <3 Welcome back, though. School is being more so of a pain this week than others; I really have no idea what I'm doing on the computer. I also sent you a friend request <3

Dude it takes me like an hour to write 1k words if I haven't planned anything out or I'm not using the Write or Die software. 50k words in a single day is impossible for me at this point. :c Not sure what I'm going to write this Nano, though. I'm currently obssessed with zombies and Harry Potter, but my interests will most likely change. I'm thinking about trying to make my own characters this year, but my determination is fickle and I'm not sure if I'll actually get around to it. Do you have any idea about what you're going to write?

omg I forgot about Lily and Snape. <3___<3 They'd be adorable together. I've never read a Draco x Hermione before, but I'll check it out sometime. At least, I hope my fanfic isn't as bad as My Immortal. I read it and was all, Are. You. Serious? Words can't even. I just about lost faith in the world. 

I think I have the hardest time with deion. I can picture everything clearly and know the effect I'm trying to achieve, but the words just don't come out the way I want them to. That, and actually being committed to my works. I would love to RP with you, omgsh. <3__<3 That'd be so fun.

Hmm, for example, if I was writing from the point of view of a chair, I could write about how hard it is to be taking the weight of obese people. LOL idk. I love romance as a side plot, but in action or thriller, I really don't want it at all. It usually depends on the characters and how much potential they have together, for me. I'm not that great at writing romantic scenes; they all sound forced and wonky qq.

I'm thinking about taking Bio 11 over the summer. I don't want to risk anything that's provincially examinable. Omg provincials -  are you Canadian? LOL. Next year I'm taking Socials, English, Pre-calc 11, Math 12, Physics, Chem, Accounting (or maybe marketing instead), French, and Career Prep. Dude you have so many hours, omfg. LOL. For us, the hours we put into voluntary work doesn't count unless we're in grade 10 or older. Not that I had any in my earlier years, but still.

Asian parents are so upsetting D: I bet a lot of us can't go a day without being lectured about school. LOL, I'd love to work along side you to create/maintain/etc Casailon. I've no idea what I'd do, though. That's actually a really creative way to choose courses. I don't think that would work for me, though. :c

No problem, and thanks for the compliment. xD I'm crud at colouring though, so I'm still trying to improve. I still loove your painterly styles. What program do you use?

I've never heard of Studio Ghilbi, but I'll have to check it out if you recommend it. My favourite mangas/animes are: Naruto (LOL), Pokemon, Claymore, and Holyland. Those are from the top of my head, so there might be more. I've no idea, though.

LOL. Dude, our lives ARE exciting. Well in school, I'm fairly shy around anyone who isn't my friend, so I don't make the effort to talk or make friends. I've grown used to hanging out with myself ( LOL ), and I can't help but feel awkward at social gatherings. Besides, some of the friends I made online are closer to me than those I've made in real life Which is sad, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hahah I died again. I'm about as reliable as... nothing really. xD I accepted your friend request :D

Me too :O What’s the Write or Die software? I’ve never heard of it… I don’t know how I wrote about 5k words each day; it killed my writing inspiration afterwards. I haven’t written for a long time since Nano…  I think you’re my twin. xD I’m also obsessed with zombies and Harry Potter because of my friend haha; I think people at school think I’m weird (I’m at the point where I say ‘alohamora’ when the cl*censored*room door is locked). You should make your own characters; I find creating characters very satisfying :3 Hrm, I really don’t know what I’d write  - probably restart one of my other novels or continue on to the sequel to my Nano novel. (my nano was about secret organizations and government and machines – steampunk stuff). I may even go back to writing a story called Crisis which I abandoned half a year ago. XD Not sure yet ;)

I know right? XD And when I watched AVPM (a very potter musical) and its sequel I just fell in love with the pairing haha. Did you realize that “Evans” and “Snape” are the same letters rearranged (backwards)? Swap the P for the V and you get the same last name… coincidence? I think not ;) lolol. I’ll have to read a Draco x Harry fanfic too ^^My Immortal was a pathetic failure. I think no one could be as bad as that o3o But I think yours is muuuch better haha.

What should we roleplay about? o3o

That’s actually quite interesting. I’ll have to write something with that point of view one day. :3 I agree, romance is good as a side plot but it gets in the way of the main genre. OMG I have the same problem too with writing romantic scenes. XDD

Yush; I’m Canadian. xD I’m tempted to ask which province you’re in… lol. That’ll be fun, taking Bio 11 in summer school. I’m just all for finishing socials so I don’t have to take it anymore xD I don’t know if it’s scary or not those are almost exactly the same courses I chose or I want to choose. Scaryscary *shiftyeyes* That sucks about volunteer hours D: I think anyone should be able to do hours and have them count even if they’re in grade eight or something. :3 Where do you think you’d be volunteering?

Lolol, that’s so true. I’m glad my parents are easing up on the lecturing part… hehe. Right now I AM tempted to throw darts and stuff. There’s just too much stuff I want to take! (where’s my own Time-Turner, eh McGonagall? >>) Once I get Casailon’s ideas and art going I’ll tell you more about it.. :3

 No problem at all <3 DeviantART tutorials helped me a lot with coloring and shading , but we all learn differently. Thanks for the link to posemaniacs! It’s helping me out sooo much with poses. I use Photoshop CS5  and sometimes SAI paint tool; but they all work alright. What program do you use? :O

Never heard of Studio Ghibi? *gasp* lol; you should check their movies out sometimes. What other anime/manga should I read and watch? I want to get back to them… hehe.

I agree our lives are exciting ;) And dood, that sounds just like me! xD Though I do have a close group of friends who are all quite loud and noisy. But I prefer silence still. I also find that my online friends are more interesting and people that I can relate to, and I’ve grown used to that haha. *hugs*  

 ~~~

ALSO ADDED A NEW IMAGE. My character Katherine Cecila Briar... hehe. More on her later.

Good to know that you're alive :3 Hope everything is going well for you.

Here's the link to the Write or Die software. I hope you'll find it useful :D

Since I usually write fanfiction, I never recontinue the stories I've written before since I don't remember much about the fandom I wrote for. I always tell myself to get around to it, but I never have. xD There's this story that I posted on fanfiction.net when I was in grade 6 that turned out to be surprisingly popular despite the fact that I was a pretty god awful writer back then. I want to get back to it this summer xD

I love thinking and talking about zombie apocalypse situations. Have you read the Zombie Survival Guideby Max Brooks?

LOL @ Evans and Snape. Dude I've always wondered what it'd be like if Harry was Snape's son or something and he ended up in Slytherin. Mind blown.

I rmade a one x one rp search board on Rescreatu, so I'll grab the link for you:
http://www.rescreatu.com/forum/cat/games/rp/ceph-039-s-search-for-a-onexone-lt-3/~page/1/
I'd also love to RP anything you're interested in. Dood, I've been looking for so many RP partners on Rescreatu but I have no luck whatsoever. It's weird because other people have tons of RPers flocking to their search thread and mine is like, *tumbleweed* LOL qq. I'm also in a group roleplay with my friends. At the moment, it's pretty dead because of our ma.ssive homework load. It'd be nice to get it going again, though. It's a zombie survival rp :3 Here's the link if you're interested: http://www.rescreatu.com/forum/cat/games/rp/-zombie-rp-chronicles-of-the-dead/~page/1/

I'm in BC. How about you? If you don't mind me asking, that is.

As for volunteer hours, I should be able to get about 90 next year. I signed up for a course called "Career Prep" and we do it in our free time. We sign up for careers areas/fields that we're interested in, such as Business and Applied Business, Fitness and Recreation, Sciences, Design and Arts, Trades and Technology, etc. Our teacher then looks for a volunteer position in our interested career. For example, if you want to be a journalist, our teacher would get a voluntary spot for you as a newspaper or magazine writer. I hope my explanation made sense x_x; I signed up for like, everything. LOL. I really need to expand my horizons. :3

I'm so excited to see how Casailon will develop <3C:

I also use SAI. I tried CS4, but I never get used to it because of the huge variety of tools. I never even understood how to use the pentool. It also lagged a lot, so I ended up losing my progress a lot more often than I liked.

I'll definitely check out Studio Ghibi c: I don't really have any anime or manga recomendations ;~; I haven't been interested in the ones I've skimmed through. I'll tell you if anything good pops up, though. :3

I've no idea if that hug is for me, but OK *hugs* LOL.

Oooh~ I like Katherine's outfit :O!

I had two tests last week so I guess I'm ok right now. xD I have a math test on Monday but it'll be easy - parabolas etc. Fun stuff. Thanks for the link to Write or Die I'll check it out sometime :D

 That's interesting; what fanfiction were you writing? If you do get back to it I want to read it :3 Lol, same here. We have epic discussions during lunch in the library club - we once wondered if our bulletproof library windows were zombieproof etc. xD No I didn't read the book but I saw it at Chapters before xD How is it & what's it about? :3 I wanted to buy it for my zombie-fanatic friend hehe, but I haven't gone back to Chapters since then lol. 

 Harry WAS supposed to be sorted into Slytherin; makes me wonder if James rigged the Sorting too and he was supposed to be in Slytherin along with Sirius. And yeah I keep wondering about that xD It would have been amazing! xD Also in the books Harry keeps making mistakes and thinking that 1) James was the half blood prince when it was Snape, 2) James using Levicorpus when it was Snape, 3) Petunia was refering to James when she said "Lily and that awful boy talking about Azkaban" lol; it was actually Snape... Harry told her not to talk about his dad like that. xD LOLOLOL. You should check out http://harrypotterfanfiction.com, if you search right you can find really good fanfictions. I'm reading one about Snape actually adopting Harry :}

Thanks for ze link; I'll post on the thread later on when I'm sure I have time haha. Lol, the first thing I think of when you wrote "what you're interested in" was Harry Potter. Then Tunnels; it's another series that I just LOVE. I don't mind; whatever you have in mind is fine <3 

Ohmygod. I'm in BC. Too. o3o *is now wondering if you're my next door neighbour* eep! Or that if I actually know you in real life and have you as a cl*censored*mate but mistaking you as a stranger because I don't know my cl*censored*mates' online alias... I don't think so though. lol. Fascinating weather we're having right now here eh? XD I want sun D:

Oooh I love how your school does the volunteer hour thing. We have Work Experience and my friends went through a similar process I think; but it's not the same process. Hope you get something you like :O I'm thinking of doing work experience in the summer while taking summer school because I need something to do other than renovating my house with my dad XD

 Me too, I can't wait to open Casailon :3 I'm planning to get it to grand opening by 2013 when I graduate from high school and make it into a business when I graduate from university. Well I guess Cas is mostly about storybooks, missions, quests, recipes, and battling and collecting. RPG-ish but not entirely; I'm still thinking of a way to make "adopt a pet" feature unique XD 

SAI's amazing isn't it? I love how you can rotate the document back and forth and the brush tool = win. Yeah CS4/5 are pretty confusing and there's too many tools but I drew starting with using Photoshop so I got kinda used to it. I still have yet to figure out the pen tool too :O Lag's mean; I think the file size for CS5 is what , 3GB for all the programs? That's huge, I'm surprised it doesn't lag my laptop xD

Can't wait to read your response about Studio Ghilbi :3 They made all sorts of anime like the early Conan tv shows I think, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle and more. xD I love the soundtracks by Joe Hisaishi... I'm a sucker for instrumental stuff ;o; What's your favorite music genre? :3 And aww okay! I have the same problem looking for good books nowadays; there's really nothing special out there anymore.

Lol, I gues the hug's for you? XD

And thanks! :3 I should probably stop drawing her in math cl*censored* though and pay more attention in cl*censored*. xD  

No problem. c:

I was writing a story in the Kyou Kara Maoh fandom feature Yuuri and Wolfram as the main characters. I'll tell you if I ever get around to it <3(:

My school has bulletproof blinds, I think. I always think abuot how crazy it would be if there was a zombie apocalypse in 2012. Although I'd like to think I'd be able to survive, I'm not sure if I would freeze up in the face of danger. Anyways, the Zombie Survival Guide explains the process of reanimation, what a zombie really is, how the infected came to be, ideal weapons and strategies to use against zombies, etc, etc. It was a really fun read and it made it seem like an apocalypse could actually come to p.*censored*. It was very well written.

OMG I never noticed that in the Harry Potter series. o_o; That's so weird xD I can't believe you picked it up. Thanks for that site; I'll definitely check it out. Whil we're sorta on the topic of fanfiction, do you have an account on asianfanfics.com? I just made one yesterday c: I'm Cephei if you do have an account there.

I've never read the Tunnels before. I'm going to the library this weekend, I think, so I'll look for it there. 

OMG dude it'd be so weird if we went tot he same school. I highly doubt it though, since there's like no Asians in my school. xD I'm in the Delta area. I'd scream if you were in Richmond LOL.

Yeah, I'm glad my school offers something like that because otherwise I'd never get around to volunteering.

Hmm, as for Casailon...Pokemon and Tamagotchi immediately pooped into my mind. There couldbe a wide variety of starter pets to choose from and to gain other pets, you'd have to find them in the wild and battle them. Or you start off with this blob and dependig on how you interact with it, it'll grow into different kinds of pets. LOL IDK how that would turn out. ;__; Sorry I can't help more.

Yeah, I love SAI. <3__<3 It can do so many things.

Oh them! I didn't know they made those movies. I'll definitely have to check them out because my friend's have been pestering me to watch them as well. xD

Oh geeze. I disappeared again. :x Well now it's a two week spring break and I get more time... not a lot because we're doing a worksafe BC video for a contest and my group and I have to create a soundtrack and record it, and film... :P also math midterms and a socials project ... this is probably my busiest spring break of all.

Haha, okay that sounds great :3 I was working on a "Sebastian Weasley and the Vows of Vengeance" GOF fanfiction and "Harry Potter and the Moving Castle" Howl's Moving Castle, Charlie Bone, and HP crossover before my memory stick was stolen :P I'll get back to it someday.

I would rather have 2012 as a zombie apocalypse than natural disasters... We'll survive togethaaa! *grabs chainsaw and wand* <3 Oh gosh, I have to get the Zombie Survival Guide then... it sounds amazing. My friend would really like it for her birthday ... probably I'll get her that :P

Oh I pick up random stuff from HP. I haven't heard of asianfanfics.com; I'll sign up and add you. I'll check it out later :3 Have you heard of A Very Potter Musical? You should check it out on youtube; I laughed a lot during the whole musical and it's just.. amazing. xD

I've got my friends all reading Tunnels hehe. And the fifth book is coming out this fall.. I'm sooo excited. I wonder who dies this time. *deadpan ex
pression*

Oh lol, no we don't. xD I'm in Surrey... not that far away lolol. I'm glad I'm not in Richmond. Earthquake = tsunami = Richmond turn into a lake. But that's pretty weird haha that we're both in BC. Our school, we have a very multicultural student base. Really xD 

lolol I love that idea :O We'll tweak it a bit but that would be amazing... Both Pokemon and Tamagotchi...  oh psh you're a great help :3 More ideas! 

 Hehe. We just watched Totoro in Japanese cl*censored* and it was amazing. My friends and I squealed when we saw the trailer for Howl's Moving Castle. I love that wizard. <3  

Why don't you try drawing squishies? ^^

I'm on Spring Break too, yay! It came just in time. I honestly felt like I was going to collapse from mental exhaustion. xD I also have a group project to work on. Have you heard of YPI? Anyways, if our project places first in our school, we can win $5000 for a charity. My group still hasn't gotten together yet. Good luck on your project, by the way!

I'd choose a zombie apocalypse over a natural disaster. I don't know if I'm just deluding myself, but a zombie apocalypse seems a lot more survivable. The Zombie Survival Guide is awesome :3 I hope your friend likes it, if you get it for her.

I've heard of the HP musical, but I've never watched it before. I've never been a person for musicals, but then again, I've only watched two or three in my life time.

Aah, Surrey. I go there once or twice a year. That place has awesome samosas LOL. c: Where I live is below sea level as well, which is why we don't have flood insurance here. xD

I'm glad you like the pokemon-tamagotchi mash up. I'll be sure to share any future ideas i have with you. While we're sorta on the topic, do you like pokemon? xD

Unfortunately, I've no idea what you're talking about. My friend fawns over Totoro all the time, and I didn't know that Studio Ghibli were the creators.
