Iiii made a new deviantART page.
Yup.
I'm going to post stuff there from now on, because I don't really like this profile in its entirety anymore.
I'll still check it, though : )
but for posts, go to mowmai.deviantart.com
That'd be coo' : )

This isn't even an actual update. I wanted that awful other journal off of my profile page, but I like having the journal section there. Bah. I'm going to go crawl in a hole, now.
lol
Sorry for making any of you who follow me feel like you were important when you saw you had a message.
You were probably all pumped.
Thought something interesting was going to happen.
But nope.
Just Chuck Testa.

I\'M SO TIRED OF SNOT
5 min read
Gross. I really am, though. I think I have a cold...
I wrote this journal last night before I went to bed. I didn't post it then because my internet was out, but oh well.
Happy (late) Canada Day! I spent all day and all night out XD That's why I was so tired when I got home. I'm warning you now about this journal. It's really rant-y and super pointless.
----
I don't even know how to start this. It's been a long day, and I'm exhausted. Which means I'm on here because something's sticking in my mind and I feel like boring you all with it : ) There is no plan for this journal, so enjoy.
I just finished watching [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control. One of my favourites, but one thing has been bugging me like none other. It was too short! The series was only 11 episodes with no manga behind it and for an anime with the potential for a complex storyline there were so, so many areas that they could have stretched over (probably) three seasons of confusing finance fun! Before I get into this, I think that you guys should give it a watch. It's 11 episodes. It's not going to kill you.
Yoga (the main character for all of you who don't plan on watching it) has a lot of things in the real world that could have been explored. His university classes and exams, the girl he digs, his two jobs, his involvement with Sato and her plots against Mikuni. Then there's the Assets, Masakaki, the Financial District, other countries and their Financial Districts, the effects of Midas Money, the Darkness cards. You guys have no idea what I'm talking about, but that's okay. The point is, now you're going to watch those 11 episodes and be like "Gosh darnit, Deanna was right," and I will nod slowly as you come to realize that the whole series is like a big summary of what could be a full and wonderful anime.
It seems like after Yoga decides to become an Entre, the rest of the series tries to stay away from the real world. You don't really get to see what consequences come from winning and losing in a Deal, and because of that you're really just left with a basic idea of what Masakaki means when he tells the Entres that the Financial District will take their futures as collateral. You only get to see two real examples of bankrupcy, one of which was actually explained. Going back to the beginning, it's established that Yoga has a full life with no room for fun because he's trying so hard to pass his courses and prepare for exams, and has two jobs that overlap sometimes. This kid's exhausted. It just seems pointless to me to create these roots. None of this affected anything in the storyline, besides giving Masakaki bribing material. At least the father situation was touched on a little bit. Ah, hell. I'm just getting pissed. I could rewrite this entire series, and it'd be kickass. I just might. But I just might do a lot of things.
I just might keep complaining. What happens to Hanabi? Her boyfriend? Her relationship with Yoga? All of a sudden does he think of her as just a friend? What happened? How often did Yoga meet with Sato? Why does Sato eat so much? Who is she, really? What happened to her gambling addiction? Is there anything interesting about her? When did Yoga start meeting with Sato over Mikuni? When was it established that Mikuni knew of Sato? Why couldn't he see that she was spying on him? Why did Mikuni use the press twice? Why is it so rare to get the Darkness card? What is the final effect of Midas Money? Does Masakaki deal with every Entre on his own? Does no one need help at the same time as another person? What is the connection between Yoga and father, regarding both being Entres with near identical Assets? Who is Mashu supposed to be?
I'm starting to run out of questions. Not really, but I'm going to make up some answers to make myself feel better. I'm not going to tell them to you, though, because I think I'm going to write a fanfiction/series rewrite. Look forward to that. Or maybe don't. I don't trust myself to actually do it.
I'm thinking I'll have--OOO!! I'll have a good chunk dedicated to Masakaki. That sounds like fun. And maybe Yoga's father. We'll definitely have to see.
I'm sorry, guys. That was a whole lot of nothing. Anyway, watch the series, I still adore it. I know I have a million and ten questions that are just going to poke out in your mind, but don't let it ruin the anime for you. Maybe if you and some buds get into it you could discuss some of these questions, see if you could come up with something cool. If you do, tell me. It may inspire me to do this series rewrite.
Yeahhh
We'll see.
Why did you read this? I'm almost genuinely curious. Ah, well.
: )
I love you guys.

So Much To Do, So Little Time.
4 min read
Holy doodles, guys. I'm having a moment.
News, news.. Uh, well! I did it again, I thought about money. I did calculations, and now I'm freaking out. I need more money guys. But then again, when do I not?
A quick update on my situation, financially. I'm seventeen. I'm needy. I like clothing and possessions and expensive things and food and traveling. I also want to move out in a little less than two years with one of my best friends and go to a nice art school and throw myself into the world of animation. But I'm worried because I also want to go to SakuraCon and Silverwood and I'm tired of pushing it back. It makes me feel all gross.
I don't think that simply getting a job is going to give me enough money to do all of these things. Even when combined with what I'm assuming my buddy would be making I don't know how well we'd be able to accomplish everything. Moving out in itself is a lot of trouble. Buying a car is a lot of money and so is gas and a checkup to make sure the car is ready for travel. We have two birds and ourselves to feed and we need to stop to rest throughout traveling. We need to rent an apartment and I don't even know how I'm going to pull off going on these trips when I have two birds. So I have to find a pet sitter, too. Preordering a SakuraCon pass is like, $45. Buying a three-day pass for Silverwood online is like, $95. Cosplay is like, $one-million-and-ten. Plus souveniers. Then there's also school tuition and supplies. More gas. More food. Emergency money. Clothes, furnature, appliances. Rent, bills, cell phone. Anything else? Yeah, probably.
The logical thing to do: Wait another year or so to go to SakuraCon and Silverwood. But where's the fun in that? I think I'd rather work my ass off to make this happen.
SO, for now, I'm going to try everything I can to make some money. I still have Junior Achievement to finish and I might make profit on that if I put in more effort. Ai-Kon is coming up over here and I have the opportunity to get a booth and sell art there, this year and next. There's my mom's soap business that I could invest more time into and get paid for. I could improve in my art skill and maybe come up to commission-level.
I have a few options, I know I do. Sometimes I just need to write everything down and think about it. But it's still going to be a lot of work. I know my "for sure" move-out partner is also looking for a bunch of ways to make more money. Well, we have the attitude, let's hope we can do things with it!
Just in: I could also get paid to blog. I'll have to think about that.
Not to mention there are a bunch of ways to cut costs. Doing it yourself. Buying used, buying bulk, buying generic. Motel over hotel (I actually prefer motels, to be honest).
Woosh! I'm getting a bunch of weird, nervous feelings in my stomach. It's kind of making me dizzy.
And of course, all of my calculations are based on me having only one moving-out buddy. My other best friend has also talked about moving out with me but has also expressed interest in doing a hundred other things as well. Goodness. If she decides to come, too, then some costs will be further split. But I'm planning for worst-case scenarios, like her moving to Korea instead.
For now, though, I think I'll continue working on a picture I started a few days ago. Then I'll continue planning and potentially giving myself an ulcer.
Advice and pity are welcome. Motivation, even. Or just plain comments.
Thanks for reading about my mental nag! And thanks for commenting, for those of you intending to comment!

I've Lost Count Again.

Oh my... It's been a long time.
Not much of an update, just having a slight mental breakdown--but when am I not, I mean really XD
Somehow it was concluded that I'm going to draw Bowser (from Super Mario, everyone)'s mom on postcards and birthday cards and I guess just prints in general, too. So I need a variety of weird situations to draw her in.
I'm really, really bad at drawing Bowser. His mom looks hilarious.
In the end, I'm kind of disappointed in myself. There are probably a hundred other things I could be disappointed in, but today it is me. Because it's just one of those days.
Is using "fuck" in a sentence three times too many? I think so.
D:< I totally swept the house today, because my dog oozes hair like those creepy Play-Doh toys. And yet, the house is STILL coated in hair. It's disgusting, it's frustrating, and I wish my shower was safe to use. Complain complain, complaincomplain.
Seein' a dermatologist on Monday. Finally.
Sometimes I wonder why she bothers coming home...
Happy news, happy news.... I have a guitar : D That's pretty happy. I can't really play any chords yet, but I'm working on toughening up my fingers. Holding the strings down gets easier with each day of practice!
Happy news.... Dance Central is a blast ;D For the Kinect? Yeah! It's awesome. I'm pretty good at it, if I may toot my own horn!
UNHAPPY NEWS! THAR BE HOES ALL UP IN RYAN'S BUSINESS. D:< Gosh dangit!
XD I'm outta here.
