NEATO! (then again, I don't like a lot of them...hell i don't know most of them. But probably because most of it is rock. I don't listen to that much...especially classic rock, metal, and I believe I've said more than once that I hate sreamo...A LOT.)

DFTBA!! (Don't Forget To Be Awesome!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROCK LEE!!! I STILL LOVE YOU, YOU ADORABLE MOP-TOP!!

I'm sorry this is so late...his birthday was today but I had to pack up all my crap and leave early from my grandma's house to start our EIGHT HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM HELL. So I did not have access to interwebs...also, I wanted to do a bitchin' picture in celebration and I was cool with it being all on the computer in photoshop because I knew there wouldn't be a scanner where I was going over my thanksgiving break but I, like a DUMBASS, brought my tablet.

Now, you may ask, what's wrong with that? Don't you need your tablet? Well, yes, yes I do. But unfortunately, I couldn't be bothered enough to bring my tablet's PEN along with me, rendering my Bamby useless. SO. NOT. COOL. So yeah, my picture for Lee-kun will most likely be really late. But I'll make it up to him!! I PROMISE!!

...I'm just not sure how...I had this idea of drawing out a bunch of group pictures and laying them out all over a deviation like a page out of a scrapbook and have each pic on there be like an acutal picture someone at Lee's birthday party took. But when I made up the list of everyone that would most likely be invited to his party, including my and my friend's OCs, it turned out to be TWENTY PEOPLE. THAT JUST AIN'T HAPPENIN'. I'M SORRY. IT WOULD TAKE ME TILL HIS NEXT BIRTHDAY TO FINISH.

So yeah, IDEAS PEOPLE!! I do want it to involve my OC, Ayumi...not to make it all about her or anything...cuz she's NOT a Mary Sue...some jerk was calling her that on Pchat when I explained my situation and asked for ideas I could brainstorm over the break...dirtbag...

Anyhoo, thank you all for ideas!! GREATLY APPRECIATED! And I hope you all had a LOVELY Thanksgiving. I'm very thankful of all of you, truely.

Michelle

I never thought I would make it to this landmark of my DA career...and the next thing I know, I look up at my pageviews and THERE IT IS. TWO THOUSAND VIEWS BABY.

I'm quite excited.

And now I'm faced with the predicament of doing a "Thank you" picture...I think I will. But of what...?

Any suggestions?

I hate Beaumont, California.

Unfortunately, my mom moved us here when I was in 4th grade. I don't know what drew her to this little bum-fuck-egypt town with NOTHING to do and almost NO good people in it. Its just a bunch of BORING, OLD, STUPID SHITHOLES that make me wanna rip my eyeballs out of my sockets I'm so bored with everything. (oh, in case you haven't already noticed, I'm ranting in this one.)

I was just looking up the high school I WOULD'VE gone to if my mom had never moved us. San Mateo High. It has LOCKERS. It's INDOORS. With HALLWAYS AND STAIRS. School starts at EIGHT O'CLOCK. LIKE A NORMAL HIGH SCHOOL SHOULD. Not fucking 7:30 LIKE BEAUMONT HIGH. And, its FUCKING BEAUTIFUL too. I wanna scream it's so much better than where I am.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love the friends I've made at BHS. I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. But I just have been feeling like I could be, SHOULD BE doing so much more with my adolecence than sitting around, TRYING TO LIVE in that piece-of-crap, town. I mean, these are supposed to be the most memorable, fun times in my life, right? Than why are most of my memories here about sitting on my ass, bored out of my mind, with NOTHING TO DO AND NOWHERE TO GO. I'm 16-years-old for God's sake and I've NEVER KISSED A BOY. I'M WASTEING MY LIFE. And I'm so goddamn sick if it I wanna SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAMMMM!!!!

God...I wish I could change things...but I can't. Beaumont's not my home. But San Diego (where my dad lives) isn't my home either. I belong in Northern California. Where I was raised. I can't wait to get the fuck out of here, but I don't want to leave after I've wasted my last 2 years at this school. I wanna leave NOW and LIVE FOR ONCE.

Jesus...sorry you guys...I've just been feeling really shitty lately about my future and stuff...I have no idea what I'm going to be doing with my life 10 or even 5 years from now so I'm just thinking I need some peace of mind and normalcy right now so maybe I can get on the right track.

Thanks for listening.
Michelle.

NO JOKE. CHECKIT ---->[link]

Srsly...READ THE ARTICLE. Or you won't get the rest of this journal...

Okay, okay now before all of you go all "OHNOTHEYDI'NTIMMACUTABITCH" on us, listen to some facts. (Okay maybe not facts but some pretty widely agreed-upon opinions...)

4kids did pretty well in the beginning of managing the TMNT franchise and made the much-loved 2K version. Then things started to go downhill…they kept popping out new series’ like they were candy, trying to get more money but in the end, that FAILED. ABYSMALLY. So, ever since that downward spiral started and the fans started to get angry (including me), I’ve been hoping someone would swoop in and stop 4kids from raping the sanctity of our precious turtles before our very eyes. Enter, Nickelodeon!

Alright, so they produced that new piece of crap, “enguins of Madagascar”. But pretty much all of the other shows on Nick that have similar genre and plots to TMNT have been kickass!! In all honesty, I'm actually pretty stoked about this! I think Nick has produced many more successful TV shows than 4kids nowadays and looking back on how awesome some of the shows that involved drama and fantasy and action like TMNT does that Nick has worked on were pretty friggin awesome. I mean, does anyone remember Avatar: The Last Airbender? AWESOME SHOW. And I also really enjoyed Danny Phantom as well. So considering both of these prime examples of Nick-produced shows and their similarities to the TMNT storyline (comedy, fantasy, action), I have high hopes that Nick will do a pretty good job on managing TMNT.

Plus, they're making another movie!! (I've been praying for that for a while...) Although, I agree with you guys about the CG animation...I prefer good-old 2D but as long as it doesn't look as crappy as say, "Penguins of Madagascar", I'm okay with it. Another hopeful thing, PLEASE KEEP THE SAME VOICES!!! I will miss the old ones if they don’t…

I don’t want them to screw it up just as much as you guys do. Seriously! I just think that, according to Nick’s track record of shows, they’re WAAAAY ahead of the curve than 4kids is.

(Geez long rant. If you read all of that then good for you!! Here’s a cookie!!)
