...I'M ALIVE AT LAST.

AND FULLLLLLLLLLLLL OFFF JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY.

*hides shiny razor*

Anyhow, about the joy-thing, well, it's not exactly true but that's a long and boring story, and I will tell you about it another time. BUT. I am alive and. I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEE and I can now spend my happy, high school-free days, slicing throats and selling human flesh to creepy bakers.

Ahh, I've still got to realize that I'm actually free. Yesterday, the first thing I did after getting home, was to throw away every single piece of paper scribbled with numbers and scientific notions. Now, next thing I'm doing is SELLING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF MY TEXTBOOKS. And, of course, what I won't manage to sell is going to be set on fire. <3

Passing onto other matters. I shall devote myself to writing and DRAWING DOUJINSHI AND CRACKTASTIC STUFF. And, speaking of crack, in the past days sonadow_yuffie and I have actually been working really, really hard through msn, you know. XD (Yuffie cara, non soccombere mai a ^_^ anche se i veterinari sono malvagi!) Anyhow, that's why I'm asking you: pleeease, check the AU100 prompt table and GIVE ME PROMPTS, dearest f-list. *shows puppy eyes* You can find it here. <3

Monday's test went well for Hika--actually, a lot better than she thought, since a couple of questions were... uh, pretty much unexpected. I got a 14/15~!! So, now I'm really-really supposed to study, since I only have two days before the last test, but. *cries* I don't want to!

I'm just going to chat with people and. Write. Because I want to write. *gets shot*

Life is wonderfu~~l~!! *random*

AND I SO NEED A JOOOB.

Lalalala~ Enjoying (??) a short pause in between the exams~ (actually, Hika is supposed to study for Monday's interdisciplinary test, buut XD)
The Italian test went well~ I actually got the highest score, and that's a lot, especially considering that almost everyone else got low-low marks, and that the teacher, who is one of the outsiders, has been glaring at me for the whole time--maybe it was because of my Superman shirt, or it was the hariclips or the fact that I smiled or or or I don't knowww! x.x;
And, as for Greek... uwaaah. It was so easy! XD I even got complimented for my translation! XD;
...So, I phoned my Latin&Greek teacher who told me about all of this, and he also said that my total score is actually one of the highest, and that, if I keep going like this, I'll get a 90 or more~ Ahhh, and to think that Hika hasn't been studying at all while everyone is going crazy here. XD

Anyhow, passing onto more pleasant matters, I bring you FANART.

( We bathe into the light of a new day that could have been. )

BEHOLD MY NEW, AWESOME LAYOUT MADE BY tilderific!!!

AND.

...

UWAAAAAAAAAAH. EXAMS ARE STARTING TOMORROWWWWWWWWWWWW.
GJKIGHIOSDHNCFOIGASUFVB!!! TOMORROW I'M STARTING WITH STATE EXAMS! WHEN DID I GET SO OLD, EXACTLY???!!! DDD:
HIKA IS FULL OF ENERGY AND IMPATIENT AAANDDD. IT'S SO STRANGE, THINKING THAT I'M GOING TO BE TOGETHER WITH MY WHOLE CLASS AGAIN TO TAKE TESTS ONCE AGAIN. UHHH. MAYBE IT'S JUST ME BEING STRANGE, BBBBUUUT. I DO REALLY SEE EXAMS AS NOTHING MORE THAN A FORMALITY AND SO I KIND OF FEEL LIKE I'M ALREADY FINISHED WITH HIGH SCHOOL AND AND AND, YOU KNOWWW, I FEEL JUST LIKE TOMORROW'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THESE REUNIONS AFTER TEN-OR-SO-YEARS AFTER GRADUATION AND UUUHMMM. IT'S SO STRANGE! AHAHAH.
OH GOD. THEY'RE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT EXAMS ON THE NEWWWSSS. THEY DO THIS EVERY YEAR AND I KNOW TOMORROW, WHILE I'LL BE CURSING THE IDIOT WHO CAME UP WITH THE ABSOLUTELY UNINSPIRING PROMPTS&CO.(BECAUSE, IT HAPPENS, LIKE, ALWAYS), MY PARENTS (AND POSSIBLY MY BROTHER TOO) WILL BE AT HOME, WATCHING THE NEWS THAT WILL BE ALL ABOUT THE EXAMS AND WHICH PROMPTS WERE GIVEN THIS YEAR BECAUSE, YES, THEY'RE THE SAME FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY--!!

( And just because I like doing SMART things instead of writing my essay which, yes, is for the oral test which is also the LAST test we'll be taking, but that I'm still supposed to turn in TOMORROW already, you get something nice hidden behind this cut! )

NOW I SHALL GO.









...AND SKETCH FANARTS YOU PROBABLY WON'T EVEN EVER SEE!!!

Nyah. At the end of high school, students first get their final grades to know if they’re actually allowed to take the state exams. Then, after a pause of a couple weeks (more or less) said exams begin. They’re structured like this:

( Click to know more about the horrible and most idiotical hell Hika’s going to be put through!  )

Getting on something lighter and even more stupid!!, here comes…
( …Hikaology! The first (and last) official, wonderful issue! )

And. I just realized I need to make myself some decent icons. And why do I feel the sudden urge to read ItaSasu doujins when I don't even read Naruto??!!

I've wanted to post something since... well, it was quite a whi~~le ago. I've even written a Comicon report with pics (except that it is not finished yet. After two weeks or more or I don't even know, because I'm so losing track of time...), but never got around to finish post it. Ahhh.
( So, here's what my life is like at the moment! Beware! Image heavy content inside! )

AND I LOVE KAYA'S LATEST SINGLE, CHOCOLAT, BECAUSE YES, SHAME ON ME, I ONLY DOWNLOADED IT A COUPLE DAYS AGO. UWAAAAAH~ IT MAKES ME SO SO SO HAPPY!

It has already been a long time since I last updated, hasn't it? Honestly, I hadn't really noticed till I glanced at the lovely LJ homepage with a decent amount of concentration and read that I had last posted something here, like, two weeks ago. Yay me.
Everyday I tell myself I want to write and rant over something I just read/watched/thought, but little brother-san, here, won't let me. He's like--like a leech, when it comes to the net. But--Let's not talk about this. It only makes my head ache, so~

( Boring rant over school and politics and cosplay and jerks and fashion and fanfics and fanarts ahead! )

That said, folks, I must go and write something. I hope I won't forget updating again. ^___^

P.S. If you have never did it, go and listen to Placebo's A song to say goodbye--I love Placebo and I meant to say this for a very long time, but... go and listen to it!! It's like, Seishirou saying goodbye to Subaru... T________T Must write something with that song, someday, although I hate song-fics, usually...

Hello~.
It has been a while, hasn't it? I got back from Madrid ten days ago, in the evening. Studied Philosophy till 4 am and went to school on the day after while everyone else was at home. Resting. Me, I had this Philosophy certamen (i.e. challenge) to decide who would represent our school at the regional selections (which will take place on 3/31). From then on, I haven't been sleeping more than three hours each night. At least, it seems my efforts were rewarded, since I got the best score like last year~ but this also means that I get even more extra-extra studying to do, and I feel like everything is so rushed and I'm not learning anything at all... X__x;
Luckily, Easter break started, and yesterday was my first day of freedom! <3 Yay! >:D I actually spent the morning looking for decent green contacts with Lau-chan, then she came over at my place for lunch and stayed till eight, and the whole afternoon went by painting that damn fabric DGHRUIBVGHJDSVKIKB Today I continued on my own, and now I'm almost finished, but I don't even want to think about when we'll have to paint the details of each clock... right now, it's all blue dots of three different sizes on a huge piece of black fabric. *faints*
Since I got back, I have been on the Net only a couple times, and for a few minutes too. I didn't have time to stay longer, sorry. So, if anyone has posted something they want me to read, please, let me know/post a link! I promise I'll search through my friends' journals to catch up ASAP, but I don't want to miss anything important~! >.<;/
However, I've been working on a fic in the meanwhile. I'm posting it tomorrow with something else (right now, really, I'm nearly dead to the world and the basic ways to use a pc/interact with other human beings).
I don't even want to talk about the school trip-- too tired, too uninteresting. I'll simply let you know that I don't like Madrid (speak about dull comments, uh?).

( And, here are some pics, just because I love pictures, even though I didn't even bother to edit these... )

Tomorrow I shall work on the fabric and finish it, but I still want to rant over TRC OAV 3 and chapter 185! write and draw again... D:
Does anybody have some nice (drawing) meme to tag me with? I'm bo~red!

Hika is writing to tell everyone that she is sorry she hasn't been able to post anything this week - fics, scans. Anything.

As you probably know already, Saturday morning I'm leaving for Madrid, and, actually, I'd rather stay here than leave. For the first time in my life I'm not eager to get away from home; I guess I'm too angry and bitter and - god - I'm so glad this is my last year in high school. I can't stand it anymore - everyday I see the same faces, I listen to the same idiocies, and, more and more, I wish I could smash someone's face, at least. I'm stressed, I know.

And work. I hope I'll manage to get a better job this summer, because tutoring is so frustrating when the kids are irresponsible and so lazy they don't do anything on their own-- always waiting for you to show them the way. Heh. Leeches. I think it's a matter of respect too: if I'm working for you, then the least you can do is to be respectful and don't let my efforts be in vain. And between that and the clubs and courses at school and everything else I just don't have any time for myself.

The only things which keep me going are the thought of university (I can't believe that in a matter of months I'll be finally able to study what I really like-- more than anything else and that - as corny and stupid as it may sound - constitues a good portion of the sense of my very existence) and of the upcoming Con on April.
In the end I'm going to cosplay TB!Subaru with the blue/clock outfit. Unexpectedly, Lau-chan (who's just gotten into X after I lent her my copies) decided to join me and do Hokuto! This happened a while ago, but the thought of cosplaying together with a friend is still enough to make me smile like an idiot. I've drawn a matching outfit for her myself. It's actually pretty much identical to Subaru's, except for the skirt and a few details here and there to make it more feminine.
Tomorrow I'm going to preorder our wigs, while tonight I must work on the black fabric that goes inside our jackets-- I need to paint clocks all over it and I'd like to have it done before I leave. *sighs*

However, I'll do my best to post something before I leave. I swear I'll try.

Now I'm going take a shower and then work and eat and work again.

First of all, Hika's got a terrible headache, she's feeling weak and has got tons and tons of stuff to do and. I hate overworking myself.

( Here you can read my rant about school and tiredness in general... )

( ...and, right behind this cut, you may admire the wonderful pics I took on Saturday at school! )

I'm also supposed to work on several illustrations for a project and, yes, it seems I will get paid for that. I simply don't have any time to draw, but I'll manage. Somehow. I'm sure I will. Kinda of.
Btw, the doujins I purchased got here a few days ago too!! I <3 them so much!! I'll try to scan them in the week-end, so I can have someone translate them, hopefully! *crosses fingers*

( CLICK HERE FOR A PREVIEW! )

As for the fanfics and fanarts I'm working on... Please, be patient. T^T I promise I'll post at least something before I leave for Madrid... *sighs* Now I gotta go: time to get to work~~ ;__;

For once Hika has decided to write a real life entry. <3 Bow down and rejoice.
Mh, so, I'm feeling pretty tired (and there's still that damn head-ache lingering since this morning), but~ it's a good kind of 'tired'~ y'know, like when you worked really, really hard but it makes you happy and satisfied too? *smiles*
From today till Saturday, regular activities at school will be suspended and, instead, students will hold lessons for other students, sometimes with the help of friends from outside the school who have volunteered to lend a hand. Or, some teachers have also offered to support or join certain lessons. Each student has to choose two different courses and follow them through these three days.
Then, since the comics course got a lot of adhesions (something like 120 people, more or less) and it was necessary to spilt the group in two, I was asked to be the teacher in one of the two courses. <3
( Gyah~! It was such an awesome experience! )
