Hmmm... Unfortunately I can't seem to for some reason I myself can't really say. I mean I know its good for me, and I do feel tired, but when I lie down I start tossing around. I think I kinda messed up my biological clock after working late into the night for so long. So I just come on to post in the forums around here till I feel I can fall asleep. Ah well. Maybe I should try exercising some time in the evening. I heard it helps people fall asleep.

And you are busy as well, aren't you? Try to balance it out so you don't need to sleep too late. Of course, not always possible. But yeah. You can always try.

Lol, don't exercise too late ;) It'll work up your body and you'll feel more awake. Make sure to do exercise during the day. I walk home from University on most days (unless it's dark) and although I'm sleeping late, I fall asleep pretty quickly. I think it's just a matter of ignoring everything around you and just sleeping even if the world collapses :)
I'll try to set my sleeping time back to 11pm which is what it was. Nowadays, it's always 12 or 12:30, 1am.

well...i appreciate the comment and the honesty. it would be nice if you know the exact errors in the chinese if you could tell me which ones, like third from the top or something. if not thanks anyhows. of course....traditional art really isn't about how many colours are used and a large amount of painters have used more colours than i have. i just used them flately. cheers and thanks for the comment.

thanks, and actually it probably isn't just you not recognizing th character, but me writing it wrong. and in a work of art with written word, the written word should not be wrongly written. thanks again.

nah...i read the whole thing and you got quite an interesting arguement...well first of all thanks for spending and wasting your time on my thread...secondly i really do like your arguement, makes perfect sense...and i actually learned a thing or two...thanks again cardmage...i'm 'eternally' grateful

Quote by cardmageHi. Thanks for posting on my thread. Haven't made one in ages and didn't actually think anyone would go and post on one. Haha...

And I do see that a moderator has come on and told you not to post in "dead" threads.

Oh I see you have a reason to call yourself Lionhearted911... I thought it was kinda unusual for a girl to call herself that actually, though I'd also say we should avoid stigmatization. Anyways, see you around.

hahaha yeah? lools ...that was funny...and the funnier thing is that after i bump a thread, someone else bumps after me...besides why would i want to make a thread that is already there? it would be stealing ideas...but the moderator apparently doesn't agree....yup i'm lionhearted...heheh even my e-mail has lioness in it...i'm obsessed with lions cuz of the strength they represent..and i'ma tough girl yeah? anyway see you around...was fun bumping your thread though

Quote by cardmageHi misa. Haven't talked to you in a while... I see you've been busy submitting scans. And a lot a lot of scans. Haven't downloaded any of them but I did look at the thumbs... or at least some of the thumbs.

How are things going for you? I would have tried talking to you at yamamori but it seems so empty even I feel sad going in there now... Ah well, not much we can do about it really... You've been busy with lots of stuff and I think I'm dying with the amount of work I have... Haven't slept properly for days. On now because I just finished this project and can take a breather. Hope to see you around.

Hi cardmage :) It's been a while, huh? I submitted a lot of scans because of the amount of scans deleted in the non credited scans purge. I'm just hoping to inspire more gallery items being submitted in there at least and it'll give people more options when they have scans to choose from :)

I'm pretty busy myself. Deadlines and pretty big projects. I know that if I can get through this year, I can probably make it through next year :3 Yeah... Yamamori has kinda just... melted away. I don't think we can do anything about it, really. The members are either inactive, busy, or refuse to go there- so I guess it's probably just... :\ Well, it succeeded that we grew our friendship rings and stuff. Otherwise... 'it has served its purpose' *sighs* I wish it'd come alive again :( Do try to get some sleep :3 I know the feeling of being groggy and tired. Overall, not pleasant- don't overwork yourself ^^ I'll see you around too :)

Quote by cardmageYour drawing of naruto and hinata is simply wonderful. I think that alone would make this work stand out. I was really wondering where you got such a wonderful scan of them when I first saw the thumb. Not that this hasn't already been said. Your background also fits the feel of your drawing really well. I really look forward to your next submission.

Well thank you for the kinsd comment as well as the fav.

Quote by cardmageMisa... I thought you were about to start a submitting spree again after seeing in the notifications that you had yet another wall... And then I just had to read that its the last you're submitting in a while... Oh well...

Comments... You know, when I first looked at the wall on my desktop, I thought it looked weird. I then tried to pinpoint what I thought was so weird about it. Then something strange happened... I realized I was starting to like the wall a lot. Then I stared at it trying to post something nice about the wall... Then I realized I liked it a lot because of how weird it seemed. Does that make sense? I wouldn't use the word original... but I suppose you can think of it that way... Interesting tree... Of your 3 recent submissions I like this one the most.

hehe thanks cardmage :) I guess it's because the other two were done recently, whereas this was made more than a month ago. I've probably really lost any sense of style since joining Uni. I hate the design component of the course. It's not making too much sense, they mark you (and really, what is good or bad? They don't even have criteria... it's more of a holistic thing), and we're moving too fast. I hate design fundamentals. I'd drop it as fast as I could if I could :(

Anyways hope your exams went well (that is if they're over already) and that your uni life isn't too demanding and all :) I'll catch ya around sometime.

Quote by cardmageHaha... My exams were over a few days ago... I think I'll do ok though not really that well. Didn't really have time to come on though because of some other things going on... You sound like you really don't like uni life... Very hectic? Thanks for posting in my guestbook... Its been empty since quite some time ago. Hope your next courses wouldn't be so bad. Psychology is a really interesting course to take. A lot of it seems like common sense once you learn it but it really isn't that commonsensical sometimes. And it is useful... I mean, I do need some training to be more sensitive to others. Oh well, see you around.

Well that's nice to have all teh exams over and done with :D I'm sure you'll do fine ^^ I do enjoy Uni life, but the workload is rather insane. I think they believe we don't have lives and tumble like 6-8 projects on us.
Oh yes, psychology- I was thinking of doing that, but when I realised it was somewhat like the philosophy course I did in my second last year of high school, I guess I'm lucky to have not taken it. I'd probably freak out if my exam question was "Why is a dog, a dog?" and go into some weird postmodern theory about signifiers and signified. Architecture is pretty interesting and I'm doing well in most of the components except for design, because it's frustrating. They expect peopel to think spatially after 3 months? Lol... it's pretty ridiculous. Especially when they don't really explain to us what's good or bad. I learn through examples, and that's what Architecture lacks -_-

Anyway it was nice to hear from you~~ your gbook hopefully should liven up. ^^

Quote by cardmageHi there AWOL... Ummm... I checked your profile but I'm asking just in case... Are you a guy or a girl? If you're a girl why did you choose AWOL as your nick? Yeah... I'm a busybody but the whole world already knows that so would you tell me?

Oh well, whatever the case, welcome and have fun...

Hee hee... Make a guess! :nya:
AWOL was my brother's account until he grew bored and I took over. Well, and now, its mine! lol!

Thx for the greet!

Quote by cardmage*Looks at Tias' post*

Haix... Oh well... they were complaining Yamamori was pretty dead so I told them that you were going to leave. I guess I didn't make myself clear enough that you were basically leaving MT. Oh well, we all miss you, but the decision does lie with you. You seem to be enjoying yourself with your newfound loves (not sure what it is... manga translations?). Have fun and I wish you all the best. See you again sometime.

Ahhh... well I'm not leaving 100%~ more like I'm inactive with the forums, and pretty dead gallery item-wise. I think I used to be a semi-submitting machine or something like that >_> Uni will eat time too, so that's why I decided to write it down earlier than later.

But I will try to drop in! That's for sure :) Hope you are doing well~~

Quote by cardmageWahahahaaha... You sound really confident you'll do really well. I'm not that confident myself but I guess I'll at least pass everything... Disturb ayane? That sounds like a wonderful idea. But I thought you always didn't want me to fight with her? Why the sudden change? Hahahahaha... I wonder what ayane will say to both of us if she reads this... lol.

I'm feeling rather great. And yeah, I am wreaking the entire world through and through with all this free time I have. See you again soon.


Cardmage! XO What have you done to ayane? she is so pissed off with you.
About the exam, i didn't say that i will get good marks. since the exams are already over, i don't think i can do anymore changes to it. Admit the fate ba. but you are not confident? what's wrong? i thought you will ace in it.

Quote by cardmageHaha. Yes. Hey. What's up? Have fun around and see you later.

Ya! :nya:

Quote by cardmageHello there misa. Basically dropping by to say hi.

OMG. I said it on the wall but I'll say it again. I really like your "born from the water" wallie. Its wonderful. It really really is. I've decided that I'll use it forever. Ok, maybe not forever, but yeah, I'll use it. But I guess guestbooks aren't really places for you to talk about how great you find someone's wallie. Its kinda sad I didn't see it earlier though i was online. I put you in my friendlist and I don't get wallie notices from you... I suppose I should put you back on my watchlist.

My exams are over and I'm going crazy having fun. When you're not busy with work, you're busy with fun. But you love fun but hate work. Life is funny like that sometimes. Oh well, have fun.

Lol long time no see jichan-niichan!
I haven't read the comment yet, but it seems like you enjoyed it a lot, so thanks for that ^-^V
Whoa... having crazy fun are you now, O_O; Lol jk- I went pretty crazy after exams too. Just slept late, slept in, went online, yadda yadda- it's too true, people just love fun more than work ;) Anyway, I won't yadda on forever here either- nice to see you drop by... which reminds me to visit Yamamori...
... soon... >_>

hey bro. didn't get to hear from you for a long time. and i didn't manage to get updates form ayane since she is pretty busy too. so i bet your exams must be over now. XD we can all wreack the world for awhile. i guess this is the best time to disturb ayane. because she wont be getting any breaks. lol.
Just dropping by to see how you are. :D i guess you will get great results too. Good Luck!

r q g

>_> lonely gbook... aish.

Anyways, thanks for the comment and the fave on my latest wall... a few people pointed out about the neck and the back... but to be honest I did the vector so far back I can't remember if I did something wrong and reminded myself to fix it later. After all the exams and everything, my brain is completely empty. I actually feel stupid- like I don't know anything. That's just wrong. Lol, but anyway, thanks for the comment... I can't really fix anything on this one but if I ever do vector a character (I rarely do- this one was an exception because I do remember extracting, but when I tried to improve the quality it didn't work... plus I couldn't tell what was hair and what was not)- next time if I ever do it'd probably be done with super care :)
*is an impatient vectorer*

I'm surprised you used shibuya hybrid for so long then :o
But I admit using it for about 3 months myself... weird.

Anyway, luck on the exams, and do well ^_~V

Hello I thought to leave you a message here cause I read in Misa's guestbook that she found it depressing since she was still the last post in your guestbook.... so I am changing that now... :) I hope you're happy about a message from someone you don't even know... *lol* But a new guestbook entry... is a new guestbook entry... ;)

Oh well unfortunately I cannot write too much at the moment. Actually my modem should already be unplugged as Misa recommended me cause I am not really doing well in progressing for my work at uni! *sigh* All these distractions...

Well I hope to read you sometime...

See you and greetings... *lol* *waves*

Quote by cardmage*happily munches the cookie given by misa* XD
I hope there will be more to come. XP
Anyways, as I said, I didn't go and comment and fave your walls because you asked me to. Its more like I wanted to. I mean, I was kinda feeling guilty about not commenting for so long...
Yeah... my guestbook is often quite quiet. I don't go around leaving enough messages in other people's guestbooks so people just don't come to mine. *shrugs* Of course, that doesn't mean I don't welcome guestbook entries. I'm usually quite happy when I recieve them. XD
Oh well, see you around. Have fun now.

This is so depressing! I'm *still* the last post on your guestbook :(

*gives you a box of cookies*

And that's why I say, be more outgoing, be more relaxed and stop being so uptight and then the whole of MT would be lining up at your userpage to sign your guestbook :)

Just kidding XD

But anyways, I know you're busy; I am too... sorry this can't be kept too long... I've bludge too much... I was going to do an essay, to find that Mt was back up and I had to reply some stuff, and to find out that I had to cut my hair this morning ~_~ *I'm going blind because it's too long* But yeah. So much for studying :P

Cheerios!

Btw, I have 11 days until my finals so if you see me disappear for ... a while... then you know where I went :)

r q g

Quote by cardmage for "the eighth colour"Its blindingly bright because I didn't change my brightness settings. Yeah, I know you made a note on that... Ignore me... I'm just saying my comment might not be entirely relevant because of that.
Anyways, the girl from the scan gives a no-nonsense kinda look. She does look rather regal/elegant or whatever as well. The bg looks very soft though, with all the swirls and twirls and lights and clouds and whatever. Every person might have a soft side to show?

I spose you're saying that I have a soft side :o
Never! >]

Quote by cardmage for w.a.r entryHmmm... the first impression I get when seeing this wall is that its very dark. The next thing I realize is how much the display and the floor tiles feel like they're from a realm of dreams. The main difference is that the display looks bright and cheery whereas the tiles look fragmented and... I dunno... dark. Are you saying infatuation is something that looks bright and cheery but can be dark and fragmented and put you in a vulnerable position? (After all, how safe is a girl out in the middle of the streets in the middle of the night) Or are you saying that infatuation is something dark and lonely if all you dare to do is to look at all the good possibilities that it brings if you don't dare to step in? (There is a door, but the girl still remains outside to just admire the mannequin. Why not step in?)
Anyway, its a nice wall. It seems to tell a story, and though people may come up with different stories to tell, it does suit the theme very well. So yeah, its not once in a lifetime that you'll do well. You seem to put a lot of heart into your work.

Well that was one way of interpreting it (or two)
*adds another two onto her list of interpretations, now the total is at 8*
Now that there are 8 different ways of interpreting this wallpaper, any way like the ones you mentioned were valid.

I thought that the three most literal ones were: 1. infatuated with the mannequin's bright reds and appearance 2. Infatuated with the jungle in the displap 3. Infatuated with someone who is so different yet the same (cuz they're both on a same shaped puzzle piece)

You're right- I made it really dark and bland outside to contrast the colours of the shop- all the shop colours are either relaxing or yellowy eyecatchy stuff.

The other 3 ways I thought of was: 1. Infatuated with the world far far away- the imagination. This was probably one of the most obvious, because you can look at something... anything- become interested, imagine, and be obsessed. 2. Infatuated with the opportunities out there/ the possibilities- this one is even more obscure and too metaphoric, but as you know the plant pops out the window display- and that's the possibility of anything being able to happen. 3. Infatuation as in myself- I make boring wallpapers, and I look into the exotic world of those super duper top fave artists who seem to always be showcased on the front page of Mt. This I thought was by far the most obscure and the most hardest one for people to grasp because they simply wouldn't think that far, but I liked this one the most. It almost shows that there is a desire to change, improve, evolve, and someday step into the spotlight.

And then there were your two. *shrugs* some judges actually thought the theme wasn't actually *in* my entry, but as there are 8 different ways, three literal, three metaphorical and two contrasting... I thought it was very obvious >.<

Quote by cardmage for "no regrets"The wall seems... "evil". If walls can be described as evil. The person from the scan shows a certain non-chalance... or even pleasure to the death he just dealt. The splattered blood all over the screen seems but a trifle to the red of his clothes. Does this taint serve as a reminder to all of the countless deaths he has dealt? The fire will soon consume the screen and bury in ashes its beauty, elegance and the crimson smear of death that is on it.
In short, I think the background and the idea of the wall fits the scan really well. It gives off a creepy feel actually. I'm in a weird mood and writing long stories for all the comments I'm posting today so I'll stop now.

When I first saw the scan I didn't think it was all that evil... possibly because I was used to it >.< But if it really captured the essence of "the devil inside" then I spose it was successful.

Anyhow I know you were busy and I was just stupid~ I say things for fun and you didn't have to go around writing lengthy gallery commetns and faving my crap if you didn't want to >.< But thankies anyways for taking the time out O.O

Here is your first cookie from Misa *hands over* (@_@)

*looks at your guestbook* not too many people visit :(
Methinks I'll try come here more and spam it >.<
