I love hairpins now, ever since I started clipping back my bangs, around this time of year in 2009. I wish I had the chance to buy some, though, such as: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] . I especially like the third item; the steampunk style is definitely rather unique and bold.

It's too bad I can't wear any white clips. "According to Chinese custom, one should not wear white on their head, which indicates a recent death in the family", to put it in formal nonsensical words. I don't even believe in superstition, and I have to follow this against my will. And plus, my hair is black, so there's no other colour that stands out more than white. >________> I don't have a huge problem finding alternatives for white, but it just irritates me that I have to carry on something I don't believe in.

And this is a pure masterpiece. A steampunk watch. :0 This is just the kind of watch I would love to have in my possession.

I just recently started watch Baccano!. I was first introduced to this when I saw a Hetalia parody of the Baccano OP on Youtube. Hahahaa. The charcter Jacuzzi Splot sounds just like (though a bit of difference) and talks like Italy from Hetalia. "B-Bomb?! You mean it might be like that, right? N-no way! What if it explodes or something?! (Of course it'll explode... It's a "bomb".) [...] A-are we really going to be able to steal it? Hey! [...] Heaven help us!!" Plus, it just so happens that his first name is Italian as well (disregarding the fact that his last name is not). >:0 I especially love the duo Isaac and Miria. "If you eat cow, it's the same as eating grass and meat together!" "You're so smart, Isaac!" "Aren't I? I mean, when you eat something that's been eaten, it's the same as eating that itself!" They're so pathetically funny. In a good way. Kind of like me, who makes cheesy jokes and laughs at... well, my own jokes. And me, a person who thinks they are funny. Well, I'm indirectly funny, at least. Funny without intending to be funny by means of using serious emotion and choice of words? Hmm... Do I make sense? I don't particularily think I do... Anyways, on a lighter note, I love the atmosphere of the anime, which is set in the early 1930s. I wish I could wear clothes like that. D: I wonder how I'd look like in knickerbockers. And a big, fat, bow like those of Ciel Phantomhive in Kuroshitsuji. Aa, subarashii, subarashii. (Oh how wonderful).

And I love jazz music of the 1920s and 1920s, specifically the opening to Baccano!. It's so upbeat and unique. I'm truly an old-fashioned idiotic girl. However, I am addicted to my computer, the internet, and animanga. Maybe I just like the attitudes and clothing of certain eras.

OH THIS IS TERRIBLE. My dear Adobe Photoshop is broken again. Blast those darned Windows Vista updates! (shakes fist) It was working the few days after I upgraded my computer, but when I installed the updates, PS broke. I really hate this. I've been so inactive on my graphics site; almost ten months as of this moment. I know a few websites that haven't been updated in a few years, ranging from 1-3 years, but I don't want to be like that. Lol, I actually had the thought of removing IRO!Hitsuzen from the Chanlu family for a while, but I'll have to sacrifice a whole ton of hours just to reupload everything. Besides, I might just get PS fixed within the next few weeks. Here are my plans: vector Len Kagamine and Luka Megurine, and revamp the design of my layout based on floating DIVs. And if I finish all that within a short amount of time, I'll consider a couple of new icons (I have ten new ones now) and pixels (twenty as of now), and maybe completing the two vectors I have unfinished from 2009. So much for my goal for having a "large vector database". =_____= It must be boring, listening to an asylum-deserving idiot ramble about the plans they have for their site all the time. And it's a wonder how I get vectors done at all, considering their constant demand for attention. Ahahahaaaaaaaaaa. ^^'

On a lighter note... I just had a rather brilliant idea. :0 Soon, I will be opening a tiny website that features my nonsensical written works (e.g.: paragraphs, short collections of incomprehensive paragraphs, said "poems", etc.). Even though I don't have PS with me right now, I already did most of the CSS and HTML coding for the site. All I need now is a layout image, which I can probably easily make on my school's Photoshop. I'm aiming to open it up on Halloween - 10/31/09. (gets evil thoughts in head) >:D I don't think I should have affiliates on that site. Well, how common are portfolios for written work anyways? Not many (fake laugh)? Unless you have one, you can probably ask me for affiliation when it's open.

I've also been drawing a lot of anime/manga figures recently. I might also open up another website to showcase my artwork in the future. But for now, you can take a look at my DeviantArt.
