So this past Tuesday, my first college course started. I still have trigonometry to finish before summer's end, and I have a CLEP test to try to squeeze in, too. I don't have as much free time anymore, and some things need to get cut. So... I can't say when I'll log in here again. I still have an art trade to finish and upload someday, but I don't know when that'll happen.

I'll pop in here when I can and try to reply to messages in less than a month, but if I don't post to your art or journal, I'm not trying to be stingy or distant. I'm just working out time management. @_@;

So until whenever I see you guys next... bye!

I'm sorry I haven't caught up on DeviantWatching, guys! DX I'm not grumpily ignoring y'all, I promise.

This has been on my to-do list, so here it is. I don't think I have 20 active watchers, but it looked really fun. And I posted on Topaz's anyway and so am obligated.

Rules: For each of the 20 first people answering this journal, I will put their avatar and the three deviations I like most from their gallery on the list! If you answer, you have to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on the first place. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

I realized I can do both :iconnami15:'s and :icontopazraven:'s quizzes, so ha! That's what I'm going to do. There are no rules against it and YOU CAN'T STOP ME!

Topaz's:

1. You must post the rules.
2. Each person must post 5 things about themselves in their journal.

3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create 10 new questions for the people you tag to answer. She didn't ask any questions! 8<
4. You have to choose 10 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5. Go to their page and tell them you have tagged them.
6. No tag backs DAMNIT.
7. No stuff in the tagging section about "you're tagged if you're reading this". You legimately have to tag 10 people.
lolz, the only people who would actually obey the almighty Tag are the ones who tagged me!

Nami's:

Rules:
1) Post Rules
2) Five Facts about ME~ :3
3) Answer questions set
Yay Nami gave some. :la: This will now last longer! xD
4) Tag more peoplez! See above.

It's hilarious how well the two blend, isn't it? State rules. Spew five facts about yourself. Some part of my brain wonders if somebody did this on purpose.

So five random trufax, whoo! (I'll try not to repeat stuff I've said previously. >_>)

1) My siblings at times describe me as being not merely "like a boss", but "like a ZELDA boss". I am pretty awesome. I have the best siblings ever.
2) The study of chemistry is my kryptonite. I hate it so much. It has the incredible power to reduce me to (frustrated) tears.
3) I poke fun at myself--a lot. My weight, skills, emotions, everything. Even my indecipherable sense of humor. (lol u c wut i did thar? Oh I be clever.) I don't even mean anything by it, it just amuses me.
4) Bad grammar bothers me more than bad language. I'll see the comment "So much [effing] drugs" and be annoyed the person didn't say "So many".
5) My home internet is less than epic. I have a 5 GB monthly data allowance (which covers the whole house, so it's not all mine), so any videos and much of my DA-browsing I do during my 1-2 hour visits to the library every week. (In addition to getting beloved books. I should live in a library. ;w; )

QUESTION SET TIME.

QUESTIONS:
1) Are you a bat?
  Yeah... nope.

2) If no, Why not? if Yes, how?
  Because... it's Friday? o.o

3) What car do you drive?
  I don't have one. (Or a license.) I have driven a bit (off public roads), and last time I did that I was in a Jeep of some kind. (Cherokee or Laredo, I forget which.)

4) Do you believe pizza is a building that is a cardboard box that you can drive?
  No. But recently I have come to believe the red part of Pizza Hut's logo is supposed to be a roof, and not just a random funky hat. (I'm a genius, I know.)

5) What is your favorite song?
  aslkdfjaskdjfaafs. I can't name just one. ;__; Two less-than-random songs that have moved me, however, are Josh Groban's "When You Say You Love Me" (amgamgalsjdf how did I live without hearing of this guy until mere months ago) and Superchick's "Courage". (Makes me stop and think, every time. It could've been me.)

6) Do you enjoy ice cream? What flavor?
  Oh yesssssss. I like vanilla mixed with orange sherbet (if that particular combination counts), and mint choco chip. :la:

7) Favorite food?
  alksdjfasldfjalskdfjsaf. Again. I can't name just one. ;___; I like pizza and odd cakes my mother makes and licorice and pasta and bread sticks and fish sticks and breaded chicken and potatoes and and and and
  ...If you have any food in your house, chances are I would be totally willing to devour much of it.

8) Are you into Korean/Japanese dudes or chicks?
  Not... really. I definitely find some guys cute *coughI'lljustleavethisheremyanimelist.net/people/65/Miya… cough*, but I wouldn't say I'm "into" those ethnicities (nationalities?) more than any other.  

9) Monkeys?
  I... cannot say I am into monkeys either! Ho ho. xD

I changed my mind and tag :iconlehrenna: because I haven't antagonized her in a while. :lol: And anyone else who wants to can do it too.

I guess I had better throw together some questions in case somebody pays attention to this. :B Topaz's rules (which means ten), since Nami's didn't specify.

1) Do you read any webcomics?
2) Do you enjoy any kind of writing?
3) How do you know when you "like" someone? (That's right. Crap just got intrusive. But I demand to know because SCIENCE.)
4) Did you skip or pull my leg in the previous question? Cuz I bet you did. :stare:
5) Watch any TV shows?
6) Do you know anyone offline who draws (or photographs, writes, or otherwise creates)? If so, what, if anything, have you learned about those things from that person?
7) Name a random picture book you loved as a kid.
8) What are your thoughts on writing a blog? (No, I'm not looking for potential partners in crime, I'm genuinely curious.)
9) Do you have more friends offfline, or online?
10) What is your favorite conversation starter?

Bam. Go. Or, just read what I wrote and commit it to memory, friends of mine you creepy stalkers. 8P

125 Questions!

13 min read
Hey, guys. I should have some art uploaded later this week. But for now, I've nicked this off :iconoribichan94: since it looked like fun. Here goes~

***

1) Are you really ready for 125 questions?
Sure!

2) Was your last real relationship a mistake?
I've never been in one. :P

3) Do you believe in God?
Yes.

4) Who did you last say "I love you" to?
I don't remember. (Am I a horrible person?)

5) Do you regret it?
I've got a good idea of who I could've said it to, so no.

6) Have you ever been depressed?
Yeah. I had some depression for a long time that only cleared up about a year ago.

7) Have a best friend?
Aw yeah. She's pretty awesome. All my friends are awesome.

8) Are you a boy or girl?
Kora is clearly a very masculine name, but surprisingly I am in fact female.

9) What is your relationship status?
Single.

10) How do you want to die?
I haven't given it much thought. Content, whatever happens.

11) What did you last eat?
Black licorice.

12) Played any sports?
I've skied, ice-skated, and swam, but never competitively. I played some organized soccer several years back, but wasn't very into it. Nowadays I walk pretty regularly.

13) Do you have a phone?
Not my own, no.

14) When was your last physical fight?
Probably wrestling one of my brothers for a remote. Or a book. Or a pen. Who knows.

15) Do you have an attitude?
I... guess? I try not to be a huge jerk but I can be rather nasty, so I'm not sure how to answer.

17) What is your real name?
Not sayin'.

19) Are you gonna get high later?
Nope.

20) Do you hate anyone at the moment?
No. I might be mad, but I don't hate anyone.

21) Do you miss someone?
A few people, I guess.

22) Twirl or cut your spaghetti?
Twirl, I guess. Who cuts their spaghetti?

23) Do you tan a lot?
No. I don't see the appeal.

24) Have any pets?
Some goats I wish I could get rid of.

25) How exactly are you feeling?
Frustrated with some stuff in my life. It'll pass.

26) Ever eaten food in a car while someone or yourself is driving?
Yeah, lots of times. Snacks in the car on the way home from somewhere are always fun.

27) Ever made out in the bathroom?
Hur, no.

28) Would you take any of your exes back?
Never had an ex, so I guess not.

29) Are you scared of spiders?
Not at all.

30) Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?
Maybe, but I wouldn't change anything major.

31) Do you regret anything from your past?
Nothing major. Even the bad things that I've been through I wouldn't take back, because I think a) I can more easily understand people who have been through them and more, and b) I'm stronger because of them.

32) What are your plans for this weekend?
Write. Draw. Spend too much time on the Internet. Watch ponies, watch anime, attend church. The usual stuff.

33) Do you want to have kids?
I don't know. I'm just a stereotype breaker, aren't I?

34) Ever kissed somebody that name starts with an M?
Probably kissed my mom when I was little, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean.

35) Do you type fast?
I think so.

36) Do you have piercings? How many?
No.

37) Want any more?
I want my ears pierced, but I'm not allowed.

38) Can you spell well?
Yes. The word has to be French or something for me to mix it up.

39) Do you miss anyone from your past?
My grandpa and a few friends, maybe. I guess.

40) What are you craving right now?
More licorice.

41) Ever been to a bonfire party ?
I think so, a few times. Years ago, when I wouldn't have stuck around the fire for long and wandered off and done other things. I don't remember much about those occasions.

43) Have you ever been on a horse?
A few times, on a few different horses, on a few different occasions. Almost always bareback, and always at a walk.

44) Kissed someone in a pick up truck?
No.

45) Have you ever broken someone's heart?
Not that I know of.

46) Have you ever been cheated on?
Nope.

47) Have you made a boyfriend/girlfriend cry?
Nope.

49) Would you live with someone without marrying them?
No. Unless it was another girl and we were sharing an apartment to save money or something.

50) What should you be doing ?
Working on my book.

51) What's irritating you right now?
Some uncharacteristic shyness. Other than that, nothing's immediately bothering me.

52) Have you ever liked someone so much that it hurts?
I think so...

53) Does somebody love you?
Many do, in a platonic way. Romantically, I have no idea.

54) What is your favorite colour ?
I don't have one. I think all colors can look nice if given the proper surroundings. But I've always been partial to turquoise and golden yellow.

55) Have you ever changed clothes in a vehicle?
At least once, when we went to the beach out of season and the bathrooms were locked up. I forget why I had a change of clothes, since I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to go in the water.

57) Do you have trust issues?
Uhhhh... I don't think so. I'm not exactly an open book, but I'm okay with confiding in some people.

59) Have you ever shaved in the kitchen sink?
Oh gosh. No. That'd be super gross and hard to do.

60) Do you have a good relationship with your parents?
With my mom, at least. I get along okay with my dad too.

63) Who was the last person you cried in front of?
My mom, I guess. It doesn't happen much.

64) Do you give out second chances too easily?
I don't think so. But I don't have many opportunities so I don't know.

65) Is it easier to forgive or forget?
Don't know.

66) Is this year the best year of your life?
No idea. It'll be a very important year full of changes, definitely.

67) What was your childhood nickname?
I actually didn't have any nicknames that stuck until I went on the internet and got dubbed Fu.

68) Have you ever walked outside completely naked?
Uh, no. Why on Earth would anyone do that?

69) Do you think you're a good person?
I try. How well I succeed depends on who you ask and how well that person knows me.

70) Do you believe everything happens for a reason?
I don't think everything happens for a significant reason, no. Sometimes you stub your toe because you misjudged where your foot was, and that's all there is to it. Sometimes the car breaks down. Sometimes that guy you like just got a girlfriend. Doesn't mean you should never drive again, or that you'll be single the rest of your life. Random bad stuff happens, random good stuff happens. Some things are meaningful, but if you put too much thought into every little thing that happens in your life, you'll go crazy.

71) What is the last thing you did before you went to bed last night?
Wrote in my diary to say I'd calmed down since my previous entry in my diary an hour or so earlier. Before that, I sketched.

72) Is there anyone you wish was still in your life? Who?
Like I said, maybe my grandpa or a few friends I had once. Maybe.

73) What is bothering you?
I feel like I've answered this before... still shyness. Still certain aspects of my life.

74) Have you ever been out of town?
Uhhhh... yes. Out of the state, even. (Gasp.)

75) Do you play the Wii?
Yep, some. I play LoZ: Skyward Sword, SSBB, and a couple other games.

76) Are you listening to music right now?
Yep. In fact, I'm listening to the very same thing I mentioned I was listening to at the top. It's amazing.

77) Do you like chinese food?
Haven't had it in ages, and I never liked it much. I'll eat fortune cookies, but that's the only thing I can guarantee. I've had some of the General Tsao's chicken you can take home from the store and bake, if that counts. Some of that is strangely tasty.

78) Do you know your fathers b- day?
Absolutely. The year, even.

79) Are you afraid of the dark?
Not at all. Sometimes I'll get anxious about what it hides, but not often and the feeling usually passes quickly.

80) Is cheating ever okay?
No.

81) Are you mean?
I can be. But like I said, I try not to.

82) Can you keep white shoes clean?
I don't remember the last time I had white shoes, honestly. If I didn't wear them every day, I'm pretty sure I could keep them clean.

83) Have you noticed this survey stopped getting personal?
If you're asking me questions about myself, it's still personal, actually. :P

84) Do you believe in true love?
You'd have to define it to get a good answer. I think there are people who genuinely care about me, and will for years to come. I think some folks will also find romantic love that lasts a lifetime,  though I'm not necessarily one of them. (Which I don't say to cut myself down or anything, but to keep things realistic.)

85) Are you proud of the person you've become?
In some ways, yes. In others, I still have much to do.

88) Do you like the outside?
I guess so. If it's warm and/or I'm away from home. I like getting out and about, whether into another building or the streets or the beach.

89) Are you currently bored?
Not really.

90) Do you wanna get married?
Yes, if I can find the right guy. But I won't marry someone for the sake of being married or for having babies.

91) Is it cute when a boy/girl calls you baby?
I don't really think so, but nobody's called me that so I could change my mind in the future.

92) Are you hungry?
No. I'm rarely hungry because I snack too much.

93) Do you have a bank account?
Unless my parents have one set up they haven't told me about, I don't think so.

94) What makes you happy?
Writing. Chatting with friends. Drawing and getting good results. Having nothing to really worry about. Quality time with my siblings.

95) Would you change your name?
Nope. It's unusual but not strange, so I like it well enough.

96) Ever been to Alaska?
No, and I have no desire to. It's a bit too cold up there for me.

98) Do you watch the news?
Sometimes I'll see snippets of it if it's on the TV and I'm in the room. More often I read news off the Internet.

99) What' s your zodiac sign?
I forget what I am in the more commonly-referenced zodiac, but in the Chinese Zodiac I'm a dog. It's not something I really pay attention to, though.

100) Do you like Subway?
I haven't been to one in years, but I don't dislike it.

102) Your best friend of the opposite sex likes you, what do you do?
Reject him as kindly as I can, I guess. Honestly, I hope this never happens since he seems very happy in his current relationship.

103) Do you talk like your friends?
In some ways, I guess. I think my word choice is somewhat different from most if not all of theirs, though.

105) Have you ever seen someone you knew & purposely avoided them?
Yes.

106) Do you have a friend of the opposite sex who you can act your complete self around?
Yep. He's pretty awesome.

107) Who is the last guy you talked to?
Probably Masaru. He's a great guy.

108) Does it matter if your boyfriend/girlfriend smokes?
I haven't given it much thought, honestly. It's not the end of the world, but I don't find it attractive either.

109) Do you go to church?
Yes.

110) What's going on between you and your best friend?
We're... being best friends? I guess?

111)Who's the last person you had a deep conversation with?
I don't remember.

112) Have you ever regretted letting someone go?
Not sure what you mean.

113) Do you enjoy piercings & tattoos?
I don't have any, but sometimes I like how they look on people, if it's not extreme.

114) What do you wear more: jeans, sweats, pants, or shorts?
Jeans. I only wear shorts in the summer.

115) You're a Sharpie marker, what colour are you?
Probably black.

116) Where do you go if you are butt naked and locked out of your house?
Over where the livestock is to get a tarp and cover myself. And once I figure out how I got into this predicament, there will be a reckoning.

117) Do you prefer to shower at night or in the morning?
At night. It's, uh, easier in some ways.

118) Have you ever said you'd never love again?
I don't think so.

119) Do you want to please everyone?
No.

120) Have you heard a song that reminds you of someone today?
Not that I recall.

121) Has someone ever made you a promise & broken it?
Yes. Oh, yes.

122) Are you alone?
Right now, in my room, yes.

123) Do you have any older siblings?
One.

124) Fave film you seen lately?
Oh, gosh. Probably Summer Wars, which I saw for the third time a week or so ago. It's my favorite anime movie.

125) How many months until your birthday?
Enough that it's not worth counting them.

Firstly, my old eraser has been lost. Let us all have a moment of silence for this helper that has gone long before his time. Now all my sketches look smudgy(er). :s

Second, I'm doing some commissions for my sister (which I plan on posting) and in payment she's going to let me sketch her in various poses. This, in theory, should help me improve my art. (Or at least, my skills in drawing skinny teenagers.) I'm planning some LoZ fanart as well. Look forward to it! Or not.

Out of curiosity, is January effecting anybody else's mood? I've been rather lethargic and cranky lately and it's extremely irksome. I've been trying to keep it from showing much, but if I bite, call me out on it.

Now, some questions for the more DA-savvy folks:

#1: I seem to have lost my "Watching" widget (similar to the "Watchers" or "Friends" widgets). Or... don't those exist? Assuming that they do, I can't find mine in my widget menu.

#2: How do I use italics, strikethroughs, bold, etc. in the notes under my deviations? I've seen people quote songs and other things in italics, as well as use strikethroughs where appropriate/amusing, and I can't figure out how to do it.  Do I need to use Sta.sh?
