Just got back from seeing The Dark Knight. Wow. At the beginning (sans first five minutes which I saw on Youtube >.>), I wasn't entirely impressed. But it got good really fast. Complete fave for me, and I'll be buying it as soon as it comes out on DVD.

It was all good. I'm definitely looking forward to more Batman.

... Now why do I feel like writing Cork? XD

Awesome! All of my dragons have grown up. :3 The gold one, whom I've named Orphrey, is another boy. But I can still breed him with Supernal. :)

Today was a 'me' day. When I woke up, everyone else was gone so I had the house to myself until around three. I spent some of it sleeping, of course, but the rest was devoted to a lot of creative pursuits. Worked on more icons (not yet complete), played a lot of computer games, and did a little RP'ing with Sandy.

And get this- I actually did some writing today! O.O

Okay, so it's not that big of a deal, actually. It was just on that Fifty Sentence Prompt thing I wanted to do. However, since I've only had two sentences done for the past few months, I think the eight I added to that really was an achievement. ^_^

I'm going to try for four a day from now on. Hopefully it'll revive my muse and allow me to do some real writing. Main projects I'm focusing on right now are my Casey Audition, Shadows of the End (round robin over at SS), and Cork.

Now, I do believe I promised you guys some icons, right? Well, here are the ones I've proclaimed finished. I still have many more from the CGI film I'm working on, as well as a whole line of NT.

But for now, enjoy! With the exception of the Raph vs. Leo pic, I got the brushes from

creamuts

I kinda rode along the low mood for most of the day. Slept a great deal, moped around some, and played Spider Solitaire until my laptop froze.

But believe it or not, I'm feeling much better now. I found that the person in question last night wasn't who I thought it was, and it really did go a long way in cheering me up. Not to mention the comments and messages I received to the entry. (hugs everyone) Thanks guys.

So now I'm taking advantage of my new userpic space. ^_^ As you can see, the icon featured here is one of my new ones. I'm putting them up slowly, as I decide which ones I want. I'll put up a few of the completed ones tomorrow, perhaps.

This one here I just spent the last three hours making. Yes, I know I already have quite a few Leo icons already (like you expected any less of me XD), but damn it all, I needed more. And now that I have several images in one icon right there... well, I should at least be able to narrow any other Leo pics quite a bit. XD

Well, I didn't get any writing done like I'd wanted to today, though it can't entirely be blamed on lack of trying. My stepdad had a lot of chorse for me and my sibs today, so there wasn't much time for anything, really.

I did make a post for a small RP over at TT. Not the big, amazing one- but this small, fun little chibi one. Bwahaha... much fun. I know Kame (who needs an LJ account XD) liked it.

I'm really wanting a manic episode right about now. Doesn't need to be anything overwhelmingly high- just enough to get my muse going again. I've been thinking about triggers, however, I'm not entirely interested in calling my father up and starting an argument. >.< I'm afraid all of my other triggers are quite random, so it'd be quite difficult to produce one.

Ever since a certain anonymous poster came back, I've been really screwed up in the head. Most of you know by now, but if you don't, I happen to have a lovely combo of crazy in the head. Bipolar, OCD, and Passive-Agressive Disorder are three lovely flavors I offer.

The Bipolar and OCD run in the family. I was diagnosed back in middle school, and the third as a Freshman. I was put on medication in the eighth grade, if memory serves correctly. I do think it worked for a little while, but I can also say for certain that at one point it ceased in its usefullness. Didn't matter- everyone else could notice the 'improvement' so I had to keep on it. Mwahaha... sorta. I went haphazard on them towards the end of my sophomore year- more so as I got older. Eventually, I was just taking them in the weeks before and after my scheduled doctor appointments. After I left Dad's, I tried to keep on them for a month or so, but eventually reverted back to my old ways. I stopped taking them all together months ago (with the exception of the thirty days rule). When I ran out, I told my parents but no one's been to refill them. So I'm off completely now.

First thing I noticed is that I don't cycle as much through my highs and lows anymore. I've never met another person like me in this regards- most Bipolar people cycle a few times throughout the year. Four or more episodes is considered to be rapid cycling. Ultradian cycling is what I experienced when I cycled. This is characterized with several distinct shifts in a day or two.

As I said, that stopped around the time I went off my meds. Around the time I stopped going to dad's.

But then this anonymois commenter came back. And as I've mentioned before, I know who they are now. All of a sudden, I'm cycling again and it isn't fun. Been doing so for the past few days, actually. Had four swings within two hours today.

Always lovely. Not.

Mom has always wanted me to read up on my illnesses to better understand them. What little info I know though has been gained listening in on conversations or through lectures. I read everything but the things relating to me. Because I've always had this viewpoint that I'm insane and that's all I need to know.

But as I've been so messed up these past few days... I finally got curious. So I took a ppek over at Wikipedia and found this:

Some studies have suggested a significant correlation between creativity and bipolar disorder. Though studies consistently show a positive correlation between the two, the exact nature of the relationship between the disorder and creativity is still relatively unclear. One study indicated increased striving for and attainment of goals and achievements was correlated with onset of manic symptoms. While the disorder affects people differently, individuals with bipolar disorder tend to be much more outgoing and daring than individuals without bipolar disorder. The disorder is also found in a large number of people involved in the arts. It is an ongoing study as to why many creative geniuses have bipolar disorder.

If I'm looking at the symptoms correctly, I haven't had a real manic period for a while, whereas I used to have them daily.

So, in some strange way, this explains why I haven't been writing much lately. O.o So strange...

Well, perhaps tomorrow I'll get something done. For right now, I shifted over to a low and find myself tired already. (sigh)

Oh yay! Summer storm outside. ^_^ (feels a little better)

(needs more clickies, please)

So I don't know when exactly it started- I was on vacation, so the last week of June. All of a sudden, I started getting spam mail. Now, I've never really gotten spam before, so the total onslaught wasn't a problem until now. In fact, I didn't really mind it when it was just the ten messages or so during the week.

But it slowly started to build-up each day. I'd empty it at the end of the week, but fifteen days ago I got curious and decided to let it go. I've gotten over three hundred. I've been spammed with the most troublesome things ever, too. Everything from Google prizes, Wal*Mart giftcards, cars, Herbal tea, something about Rachel Ray, colleges, churches, medical assiting, hentai, and gasoline.

I was going to let it go for a month, actually, but it's getting to be really annoying. (throws out)

...

(sigh)

Don't have much to say today, I guess.

Your result for Which Chess Piece are You Test?...

The Queen's Knight

Take Which Chess Piece are You Test? at HelloQuizzy

Oh. My. God.

That was the single greatest finale I have ever seen in my life. Seriously- if you haven't seen it, go do it now. And if you haven't, do not click the little cut below for it contains spoilers of it's awesomeness!

I have been waiting for three freaking hours just to get to the page where I can view the new Avatar episodes. And when I've finally got them, they're taking forever to load! Gah! (dies and is dead)

I should totally like write or something while I wait. Of course I don't. >.< Though I do plan to after I'm done watching Avatar. I hope to finish that Casey Audition before Sunday night, anyways. I got some more comics in the mail today- including that Tales one that focuses on him. Hope to use it to get me into a Casey-mindset. 

Speaking of mail, I got something else that's quite interesting. Anyone remember that college I was thinking about? I tried to get more info from them, but I couldn't without giving them my phone number. I left it alone because I didn't want them calling me if it turned out I wouldn't be able to do it.

Anyways, today they sent me another letter. Only this one had a student ID card. O.O

It's not a permanent one, of course. But still- I wasn't expecting it. It also say that I've been selected for tuition assitance. 

I'm kinda interested... but I dunno. For one, after my parents move, I have no idea how I'd even get there. What do you guys think?

As always, clicky on the egg please! (pats little golden egg) Oh! And have any of you guys seen the new Skywing dragon? My gosh- it's so beautiful! I want one of those next! If I can find one...

I have no idea how I should classify the day. I've been vomitting a few times, but other than that, it hasn't been too bad. Actually, it's been great in some instances.

For example, I got both my Return to New York comics and my NECA TMNT figures in the mail today. I love getting packages in the mail. And these ones rock. :D

Only problem is trying to find a place to put them. I keep all of my non-wall-mountable TMNT items on top of my entertainment center. as well as my regular turtle collection. Currently, we have:

- A giant Michelangelo clock that plays the NT theme song while it's head lights up
- All four TMNT Pez Dispensers
- All four New Toon action figures
- All four NT Chibi Turtles
- A Leo mask
- Weight-lifting Leo
- Back-flipping Rapg
- Battle Nexus Leo
- McDonald's Leo w/sword
- McDonald's Don w/bo staff
- McDonald's Mikey with hidden shell compartment
- Water squirter Don
- Bobblehead pen Leo
- Four connectable NT tiles I made myself in pottery
- A TMNT airhead
- All four CGI action figures

And then for the regular turtle stuff:

- Hand-painted piece of pottery with a removable shell from Mexico
- A bobblehead wooden one from Mexico
- One carved out of wood
- A sand sculpture featuring a momma turtle and a baby
- One I made in pottery
- One I painted
- A smiling figurine
- A glass one
- Three carved out of rock of various sizes
- Two plushes, one stuffed and the other a Beanie Babie
- A turtle shell
- A sea turtle figuring
- A gold (fake) pin with a large stone for the shell
- A car chain
- A special one I got at the Chinese Gardens where the limbs bobble- there's also a baby on top
- A gold pill box
- One carved out of rock from Pakistan
- A plastic one my mom found
- A braclet featuring eight little turtles made of rock
- One made of volcanic ash from Mount Saint Helen's

So yeah. I'm maneuvering things. At the same time I noticed my action figures needed some serious dusting, so I'm doing that as well.

Now for a meme I picked up from ivy_chan.

Name a character I know and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.

I really only write TMNT. If you want though, I don't mind sharing my thoughts on the Avatar fandom either. :)

Look! Moriki grew wings! Yay!



 

Heh... gotta hurry with this one!

Grandma's been irritating, but I've pulled through. I made an appointment today- and she wouldn't leave! Gah! Almost ruined the sale for me! But I did make that sale! A french chef knife, a paring knife, a table knife, and a trimmer for free! Yay!

After that, my friend and I went to see Wall-E. My God! It was so cute! Thank you so much for recommending it, Tori! I'd have never gone to see it otherwise!

Now, my friend and I are staying the night in my grandma's guest house. We're gonna watch Avatar on my computer. :D So I probably won't be online tonight- this is the longest I've seen her since we went to see TMNT together last March!

Give my dragons some loving please! The paper one only has three days! ;_;

I got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in years today. I grew up around them, but after dad left this little town, I only run into them on rare occassions.

We played volleyball (which I suck at). It was awful! Every time I wanted to quit, someone else would beat me to it and then I'd feel obligated to stay to keep the sides even! >.< My feet hurt so bad- I have like three disorders in them, so standing that long was really painful. At least I had fun doing it.

Made a lot of new icons today. I think they look really good. :D Finished all of the individual cool looking ones for the movie characters. Now I'm going to do some more action and fun-oriented ones. A little NT here and there as well. It's gonna be great.

Hmm.... and try to convince my muse to come out of hiding. :/
