Hi everyone! Probably well overdue to update this thing. Not that I think anyone really reads it, but I got tagged, so there's my excuse. xDD

HERE'S SOME STUFF GOING ON IN DIANA'S LIFE: Her semester is almost OVER (YAY); she is transferring to CFCC for next semester (and is basically ready to go); she is bringing eMyu back (redoing Eclipse: Lilith and Phantasm, so anyone interested in singing for me in Japanese and acting LET ME KNOW--I need people!); she is writing an Avatar: The Last Airbender musical for AniMyu! along with Maddles, Lucia and Katu/Deja; she is recovering from getting her ass kicked by a 12 year old at Kempo (FUN TIMES XD); she is changing her major to psychology; she is mixing the crap out of the PWMP soundtrack. ...I think that about sums my life up right now!

As far as Christmas goes, uhm...Friends, Romans, countrymen, I am essentially broke right now. I MIGHT have a job in a weekish, but...It's hard to say. I'm obligated to use the like $30 I have right now to buy for my family, so I WILL be getting you guys presents, just expect them AFTER the 25th, unless I'm drawing you something. I asked for money for Christmas, so I'll be using that cash to buy presents. :3 If you would prefer that I draw you something (and I will color it and everything), post some stuff you might want in the comments!

Now! As the sneaky and good-looking Shawni tagged me, here are some quizzes, just in case you felt like knowing random crap about Diana!

Holiday Tag

1. Do you like receiving gifts?
Yes, but it makes me feel awkward sometimes. xD I don't like to feel like people went out of their way for me.

2. What about giving them?
I prefer this, though I hate Christmas seasons where I don't have cash....HEY, LIKE RIGHT NOW.

3. Do you usually buy gifts for people or make gifts for people?
Eeehh, I prefer to buy, but this year it looks like I'll be making a lot.

4. What was the best thing you got for the holidays last year, if anything?
My old laptop! Wait...No, that was two years ago (A testament to how much I luffed it)...In that case, probably my Pullip, Coppelia, or my superawesome camera.

5. Are you planning on making/giving anybody gifts this year? For a lot of people? Just a few?
That I am!

6. List at least 3 things you'd be happy to receive as a gift art/drawing. But list as many options as you can! This is for people that want to make you something but don't have a good idea of what to make you.
-KLEMA (Klavier/Ema, Apollo Justice)
-Any of my OCs...though there aren't many that my friends know about. xD There's a few in my gallery, and my old gallery (Lady-Phantasm.deviantart.com)
-Pictures of me when I rule the world. BWUAHAHA. </narcisissm> Or pictures of me with friends. Like the trifecta of radicalness that is Pleads, Shawni and Me. We're like the triforce holders of Courage, Wisdom and Power, respectively! (BTW, this is why I shouldn't be project head. That'd be like giving Hyrule to Ganon.)
-Maya/Edgeworth pics~
-Spock
-Aliens (Just not the gray, bug-eyed kind...call me racist, but they look creepy to me/I don't believe in them.)
-My dolls...?
-I'm seriously just trying to put lots of options here because I'm bored--I don't expect to get anything XDD
-Basically anything Avatar: The Last Airbender

7. Now list 3 things you'd like to receive as an IRL present!
Monies, a small model of the solar system, uhm....art? I get that IRL, too. XD

8. Are late presents/art okay?
Heck yes. I know for a fact most of my friends will be receiving their presents AFTER Christmas, when I have money. XD

9. What about Christmas-themed presents/art? Are you okay with them?
Indeed! Well, Christmas-themed presents not as much, since they can only be used one time of the year...Christmas. xD But I love Christmassy art.

10. Have you been naughty or nice this year?
I'm not qualified to make this judgement! Give Mr. S.N. Claus a call. He's got a PhD in Human Behavioural Science.

11. Are you doing a secret santa type thing on dA this year?
Naaah. (BTW, Shawni, groups of friends or clubs start them, to answer your question. Maybe we should organize a PWMP one! <3)

12. Now tag people if you want!
Naaah, isscoo. But SHAWNIIIIIIIIIIIII~ XDD JK. ILU~~ Anyone who wants to do these can.

I went to ECU orientation.

Words cannot express my disappointment.

First night, I arrived early. I got into my dorm room. It's not my permanent one, but it looks like a prison cell. I'm told all the dorms are the same. So I sit on my ugly, uncomfortable bunk bed and cry for 30 minutes like a big baby about how my room doesn't even look like a particularly NICE prison cell. I decided to be optimistic and go meet people. "I'll be happy once I'm around other freshman who feel like I do!" So I went to the lobby, played piano, drew, played cards. Met some nice people. I was better. Went to bed. Next day I got sorted into my orientation group.

Got group 13. The Orientation Assistant was quiet, but cool. My whole group looks half dead. I figure once we do some ice breakers they'll open up. We don't do any ice breakers. So I decide to interview people until I manage to strike up a conversation. I learned everyone's life story and none of them even asked for my name. So, OK, my group sucks. I'll hang out with the other groups--but no, we're stuck in our groups until that night. So I just have to last until the recreation part of the evening, right? Well the campus food was bland and made my stomach hurt, so I opted out of the festivities so my mom could take me for something decent to eat. I saw my mom, burst into tears, did my whole "This isn't what I expected waaaaaah" rant but promised I'd stick it out. The honors students couldn't possibly be this impenetrable, right? I'd still be really close with my dorm mates, right? Next day.

Turns out the honors program is basically a scam to force you to live on campus in the first year and to make you pay to study abroad. The only perk is that honors students get first pick of classes all four years, but basically if you get a C in anything you're dropped. Alright, maybe the other criminal justice majors will be some cool kids. ...No, not really, that's all I have to say about that.

To top it all off, they won't let me take calculus 2 or even retake calculus 1 for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. Something like 'Math 1065 is a prereq for calc 1, so you need it to take calc 2' or some such BS. Doesn't. Make. Sense. I'm 99% positive I got me some college credit in Calc AB. I should be able to AT LEAST take it again. But no. College. Algebra. In which there is at least one test on mean, median and mode. College. Fucking. Algebra. And my advisor has the nerve to tell me to take it to rake in points to boost my GPA. Screw my GPA, I want my calc and I want it NOW.

I really wish I'd applied to more than two schools, because I'm now out of a college education at least for the fall. I now have to apply to NC State TOMORROW for Spring semester and I have to do all this collegiate BS AGAIN. All because I was too stubborn to apply anywhere else.

Pretty much the biggest disappointment of my entire friggin' life.

Peace.

Eee. Animazement 2009 was lovely! <3

I was only there for a brief time on Saturday, but it was oh so worth it. The Phoenix Wright Musical panel had a good 200+ attendees, even though we were competing with the NOIZ concert and their....well, noise. We sang over them as best we could, and it worked! The crowd was awesome and very easy to please and we all had a BLAST. We also fit our time slot perfectly. <3 I SO want to do it again next year. Forming a formal musical troupe? Yes/Yes?

Also, I heard my friends over at End of Forever won FIRST PLACE in the skit competition! AWESOME job, guys! Congratulations~~

Maybe you will too. Maybe you won't. Either way, if you read it, you can't unread it.

Peace.

....I'll make a man out of you.
