oooh, a contest!
-and the winner can get a free Ipod
sounds pretty good- all one has to do is design a set of images for a ninja who wears black and has green eyes (of course, this only applies to Deviant Art users only- sorry everyone else! ^_^; ...)

Deviant Art News article

I like the sound of this.

hello there lovely blog,
I'm sorry that I haven't been writing in you much lately- it's not that I don't like you anymore, I'm not such a person to be that cruel (even to things) it's just that I don't seem to be able to say anything (yes, I know that I'm wrong on this too, it's just that I have silent periods every so often- I've been this way with regards to my journal to God too- I don't exactly understand this, I just know what it is that I'm going through- I guess I'm just experiencing, but I should be acting rather than reacting). As I've said earlier, I don't really know why this is so, I don't even seem to be able to do much- well, I'm really not saying this right- I haven't been doing much with regards to oekaki, art, getting stuff done (online and offline) and I'm in this odd slump.

I am not depressed
I'm finding myself able to get over the dark moods that were causing me so much trouble eariler on, but why is it that I can't seem to move? I'm like a rabbit frozen in fear- not all the time, but I've been like this and I don't want to be...

-Arrrrrrgh!-
I am not saying this well and I don't like it
the restrictions of the written/typed word
-I am DEFINATELY feeling them today
isn't there some other way that I can express myself that would be more accurate?
(-wait a minute, isn't that what visual art is for- great.)

Anyways, blog
and my blog-friends
put up with me
this is going to be over
I guess I'll just
put up
a really
GOOD fight
and win so that things will be better
later on
just you see!!

-Daiko~
(... words, I can't seem to manage them perfectly...)

another quickie
sorry for all the "fluff" entries and all,
I'll see about writing more when I'm available to do so (now, I want to get some iced tea from the nearby Publix, and return some slightly late library books- yay.)

and so,
a quiz-like thing:
(actually, this WAS a true quiz o.0;; ...)

Where do you fall on the liberal - conservative political spectrum? (United States)
brought to you by Quizilla

meh, I'm sorry that it's such a wide picture.
(I like high-resolutions for my screens anyhow though. ^-^;; ...)

EDIT: this post has been changed, I originally posted this at this time- 17 June 2004 19:44 EDT but, I didn't like having the large picture stretch my screen and make my page take more time to load, so I moved the image.

the rains have come and gone
or rather, they have and will continue to do so
since Florida is currently in her rainy season
(the weather is still wonderful though- and it doesn't rain all the time here ^_^)

and I am healed of my hurts
and not too grievious over my afflictions

I am able to forgive
and I am healing.

the rains have come
the rains have gone

they will continue to do so

I will continue to live.

-Daiko~
(would put more into this entry, but needs to go home since she's currently in the college library...)

-.-;; I don't feel "right as rain"
and what exactly does, "right as rain" mean?
-just curious.

Anyway, what I said for the title of this entry is true- and I don't exactly know why. I don't understand why I'm so irritated with the company of other people as of late, or even what's going on internally within myself (both physically, and emotionally- possibly also spiritually, but of that I am not sure).

I really don't "get" what this disquiet and unrest of mine is, my heart is restless as am I and I don't know what it is that I should do.

I just want to hide from people
-well, not really
I guess I don't want to deal with people

and I don't understand this
-at the moment, the fact that my younger brother is in the same room with me and making some innocent comments that have nothing to do with me, it is a bother and I am wishing to be left alone.

I wonder, does anyone else ever have times where they almost feel sick to be around others, or even just to hear their idle chatter? I mean, I know that I don't feel this way because I have some specific reason for being angry at someone... but why is this? -and what is this sensation

I have so many thoughts
and things that I'd like to do
but for the most part, I've not been able to do them
and I have been lacking something lately

I can't seem to write well either
I think that some of the things that I've gone through have caused me this sealing away of my heart from others- or may be not...

I really ...
don't know.

just a quickie
sorry for the lack of updates guys, I just haven't been in a "blogging mood" lately- actually, it goes a bit [well, more than that...] deeper, but I'm not going to disclose those details just yet (since I don't have everything straightened out and all)

and so, I present
the first quiz-like thing I've taken this month:

D	Dainty
A	Ambitious
I	Important
K	Keen
O	Organic

Name / Username:

Name Acronym Generator
From Go-Quiz.com

I interrupt myself
to reveal some [not exactly ground-breaking] news:

the [Christian Anime Alliance] appears to be gone!

that place is/was a vibrant community for fellow Christians to gather and discuss anime-related activities as well as have fellowship and serious prayer (amongst other things, such as art critiquing...)

unfortunately, it seems to be
[at best] missing
[and at worst: GONE]
(but I will not indulge the above thought...
actually, I pray that that isn't the case here).

In it's downtime, let it be known that this place will be sorely missed
and that it's members will be waiting for its return (well, at least I will be...)

come back soon, CAA!!
(along with all the artistic efforts that the artists had put into
the [CAA's oekaki board]
...please don't be gone, I was working on a digital painting!
;_;' *sniff!* ...)

-Daiko~
(pray for us all.)

contemplating joy, store schemes, and other things
such is my life
a strange mish-mash of many things
I guess you could call me "eclectic"
(o.o;; that's a lot of "c's" in that word!)

Anyways, I think I should do a post that has a description of some sort, for I've been wanting to do one of those for my profile...

but that will have to wait.

Currently, I'm wondering about having an online store and selling things so I can build up my bank account and be able to afford some college things (as well as stop being poor and be able to give some money to God during Mass... it's kinda sad when you get to the point that a dollar is about 1/5 th of all the money you have... -sigh-)

but...
I'm not going to rush this decision
I've been looking over my options and investigating places

so far the best candidate seems to be:
[Cafe Press.com] they seem quite reliable as they have been in this business awhile, and quite a few artists have been using their services

Of course, I am still open to suggestions
(and will have a thread started about cafepress at a forum that I attend- most likely over at the CAA...
so that I can see what having one of these stores is like and what it is that I should expect)

-uh, I'm being kicked out of the library (9:01 they say) so I'll continue this later!

...

help!
I feel really small and lost all of a sudden...
...
I'd explain more, but I'm going out soon.

-Daiko~
(pray for me)

Cute manga~
I'm posting a link to a shoujo manga for once...
ooh...

...

I'll write more later,
it's almost my bedtime now.

-Daiko~
(pray for me)
