..Blood..Sucking..Fox..'s Journal

Okay, so for those of you that don't know, I'm currently in my Sophomore Year of High School, and I managed to take on a grewling schedule. I'm in the Pre-IB program. For those that don't know, IB therefore I BS... no, but seriously, IB is the International Baccalaureat (spelled the correct way, that its). It's a program which pushes students to excell and pump out college level work habits and work by putting them in classes equivalent in difficulty to college courses. It's recognized for college credit all over the world. So It's basically a harder AP program.

Anywa, back to my schedule. Let's see....
Pre-IB English 10 --> Which might as well be an off block... we do NOTHING in that class...
Pre-IB Chemistry
Pre-IB World History --> Which is HARD
Pre-IB Spanish II
AP Physics c - Mechanics --> Why did I even take this class...? I've discovered I hate physics.
IB Mathematics HL 11 --> Which is actually the IB program, See, I'm a year ahead in math, so I'm with the Juniors.... However, it's arguably the HARDEST class to be taught in the IB program.
Drafting Class --> My only fun.

So, I've been a straight A student up until now, where, if I don't get my ass in gear, I may end up with a B *gasp* jk. But, it's INSANE, in this ONE week -five day span- (mind you, the quarter is OVER), I've been swamped with TONS. Let's see... Monday was a History Test and a Chemistry Test, Tuesday was a quiz in Drafting, Wednesday (Today) is a presentation in English that's worth 50% of our current grade, which I also have to skip Chem to present to the other ENglish class. Thursday, an Essay AND Powerpoint over the SAME THING are due for History, and Fridya is a Math test.

Needless to say, because the majority of my weeks have been like this, I haven't had time to get on here until just now (because for once I didn't have homework to finish before school).

So excuse my absence, please, because it'll stretch a while longer. But then I'll get on here and work on the next chapter of my Havoc fic.

Sqwee! I am loving Quizilla! right now! Holy crap! I didn't think it was possibly for me to fall in love with this site all over again, but I think it's managed to happen! I'm so happy I'm going to start posting a story I've been writing (and posting) on Luna & FF.net.

Okay, so I still hate the new layout, but I'm not toally scrapping the site anymore. Of course, the fact that my Christmas Present came today may be a contributing factor in my all together amazingly good mood, but I don't care.

*runs off to go post the first chappy*

You'd think that after being here for as long as I have been, that this website would bring back happy memories... but so much has changed and so many people have left that it's rather depressing. I'm fighting so hard not to just forget about Quizilla!. It's kind of like Guard. That part of my life is over. I don't regret giving the time I already have to it, but everything else just depresses you because you know what it used to be. How much fun I used to have, and now I float around like I'm invisible... none of my old friends are still here... and none of the new people really know the Quizilla! I got to know... and watch die.

Maybe it's jsut time to move on... Discard old habits along with my old school. Start new hobbies now that I'm in high school...

I guess what I'm getting at is that my account activity will most likely become less and less frequent, until at last. I've forgotten you all...


Tengo muchas cosas mas importante que quizilla...

Since my pictures showed up so well last post. I'm trying something else. We'll see if it works...



Yay!! So here is the trainer card I was talking about in the last post.... It's good old Maya!

Sadly I can't find Lives Change in Seconds anywhere on my computer. *sad face*

But I'm working on an actual town with the graphics....

Which is giving me hell since I'm doing it on paint, and it's even one that you coud use in a hack... I'm being as thorough as possible... sadly I don't have the skill (or time) to make a pokemon hack. Anyways, I had another picture of my new character, Zen. But I finished her trainer card (it looks more like the ones in the games). Here'sthe front and back:


So yesh... I'm working on a story for her... but it could take a while... I'm not making any promises.

-Z

Okay, I know you don't see new journal posts on your watchlist page anymore, but if you found this and know what I'm tlaking about, great!

I can't beleive I deleted the series! It wasn't amazing, or outstanding, or even average. It had tons of Plot holes, but compared to some of the writing out there now... (no offense) It was good. I'm thinking I might repost Lives Change in Seconds...

What was my sudden change of heart, you ask? Well (call me a dork if you wish) I was looking through my pictures and found some old trainer cards that I'd made in paint. They suck, but I had one for good ol Maya. It doesn't have Idyut on it (If that's it's name...) but it's really cute for an attempt two years ago when I wrote the series the first time (it didn't get posted for awhile, though...). I was twelve... wait... that's three years ago O.O has it really been that long?!...anyways, I wassuper excited so I made a whole bunch of things to go along with it... Banners that got posted later... and still suck... and the story was whole back then... When I started re-writing it and posting it... I lobbed off about 15 chapters. I thought it was crap and got bored so I stopped. XD

Well, I'll re-post the 14 chapters... if I can find them....

but here's the lovely crappy trainer card for Maya...


oh, and the heroin of my current pokemon fic... Zen.

It's Flannery's sprite with different colors... and a full length shirt.

So yes.... If I find LCIS I'll post it.

EDIT:They're not showing up.... *sniffles*

So lately neither of my parents has been happy with their jobs. My dad's friend called him up about a job in Montana, and he's thinking that he might want to take it. ON the other side, My mom's problem is the people. Her work also has several offices in New Zealand, and they're also thinking we might move there...

My only problem with both is that the cities we'd be moving to don't have IB schools... My parents said they could send me to a boarding school with the IB program in either situation, but I'm not sure what I'd want to do. MOving sounds fun (I've lived in the same house as lon as I can remember), but I've also never been the "New Student" anywhere...

So I've got several questions that maybe you guys could give me feedback on.

What's Montana like?
What's New Zealand like?
What's boarding school like?
What's being the "new kid" feel like?

I'm just curious... this is my little research angle on this whole thing; get feedback from other people, not just the internet...

Thanks if you can help!

I remember coming to this site two years ago (actually three if you count my account jump...), wanting to be cool like "the big kids" and have accounts on websites. Silly little me, I stumbled over the websites nobody I knew, knew about. But, they've been okay. But I also remember being a little 12 year old thinking that the 14 year olds on the site were gods and goddesses just because they were older than me and knew how to write.

I fell into my little circle, which is basically broken now... except a few of us stragglers. Apparently Quizilla isn't "cool" anymore. But, why not keep my account? I'm already here.

But, I'm 15 now. XP Not that anything else super big has happened. I mean, okay the whole e-Akatsuki thing was big, and the rewrite-everything-because-everyone-else-is-and-its-cool phase. Oh, and the "don't ban lemons!" petition, which I strongly disagree with. I'm glad they're gone... no offense... i just think it's unnecessary.

My account scare back in July when my brother got my password... That was F-U-N, fun!

But, now I'm in high school and I haven't had much time for the computer period... i'm still everybody's lovable Z, Zey, Zeyna, BSF, Blood, or whatever you knew me by... I'm just older... and have new nicknames that came with high school. Z's still going strong, but now my last name's been kicking in. I hate my last name...

Anyways, I felt like reminising in the past two years... and cursing over my horrible spelling capabilities... >.<

Thanks for everyone (well... one...) who is still talking to me! Love ya! ;D

Let's see... How about I tell you I'm starting over again? Or, I could tell you I'm leaving again... Or possibly that I'm actually back, or that I'll update before too long... But all of those would be false encouragement. And seeing as nobody reads these (I feel so very loved), I'm not going to bother. Oh no, I'm going to use this like an actual journal.

I hate Wednesdays. It's early release and we don't get to have lunch. We have to wait. Get to school at 7:00, get out at 1:00, get on the school bus at 1:20, wait ouside for 20 minutes in the freezing cold before getting on the bus, ride the bus home. Get home at 2:30. Are starving and eat a whole bunch, and then don't want dinner. Parents get mad, go to room, do masses of homework, go to bed. AndMaroon Wednesdays are even worse thanGold ones. Oh, let me elaborate. We run on a block schedule. Total of eight periods, four on maroon days, four on gold days. And fun for me, I've got English 9, Spanish I, Algebra 2/Trig, and Chior. No time to go to my locker because it
s one side of the building to the opposite corner. Not that black days are any better.... Civics and Biology before lunch leave me sleeping through my off block, and then I have to get up and go to Algebra 2/Trig. So much fun!

I hate wednesdays even more because teachers (in the IB rogram at least) have decided that an extra two hours equates to more homework! So on top of all the other fun things Wednesdays offer I get to add Extra Homework!! Goody!!

It's not all bad though. Lunch can be fun. I sit with my meager two friends, and whatever group of boys decides they want a break from "girls". I say this in quotes because the three of us are girls... we're just not the gossiping, fashionable, prissy, yuck girls. Not that there's anything wrong with them. Several of the people that have fooled themselves into thinking they're my friends are like that. I'm just not. I'm a guard dork. On top of that, I'm into anime, manga, hiking, rock climbing, camping, backpacking, ice climbing and the like. And I ski. Even though we live not an hour from a ski resort, none of the girls at my school ski! Okay, maybe it's just the vast majority. So guys like that.

Anyway, don't take my advice on those because I've never had a boyfriend, which brings me to another ranting spot. She-who-shall-not-be-named (SWSNBN) had to go and stab me in the back because I was hanging out with "her man" at lunch (not to mention all of his friends! le gasp!) So now I can't even get a word in edgewise with the majority of the freshman girls. SWSNBN has made sure of that.

And on a totally unrelated (if not somewhat sideracked) note, winter break is going to be fun. Showshoeing for three days, rest a day, skiing, our "three days of christmas" (24, 25, 26), my birthday & skiing, rest a day, driver's ed (29, 30, 31), new years, drivers permit test, winterguard tryouts, rest a day, and back to school! (for those confused few I covered the 19th - 5th) And I have to find time to write up a lab report for biology, read a 200 page book... in Spanish & write a report... in Spanish, read a book for English & write an essay on foreshadowing, create a poster for "We're a nation of immigrants", and create an infomercial on nouns. Yes I wrote nouns. Should be a very relaxing winter break!

To top that off I feel guilty about not writing anything (on a different website) and I'm trying to cram in writing several chapters or one-shots for christmas.

So activity will stay it's course here. Don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed....

Love those of you who take the time to read this!

I had a great idea for a story and I've got the majorrity of it written, so I've decided to post it as my first story since getting back. I can't beleive that I've been on here for almost 2 years already.

I'm trying something new though, only on story at a time instead of multiple stories. That way I only have one focus. After Count Your Blessings is done, I may try to rewrite ||Lives Change in Seconds||. We'll see.... I've been promising that for so long that I wouldn't feel right getting your hopes up again for nothing....

On another note, High School is great, considering that I just started as a Freshman in August. I'm liking it except for the IB program. But there's no point in dropping out, it's a great oppurtunity for me.


-Z

So I was planning on leaving.... And then I forgot to log off, and my brother was able to get on! He changed everything and I couldn't get back on! That made me realize that I'm not ready to leave! I'll be reposting everything that I took off. So just bear with me, okay?

Hope to be talking to people again soon!

-Z

Well, Quizilla has successfully gotten another person to leave. I'm sorry, but it's just not the same anymore...

I won't be leaving many of my creations up... Only one or two one-shots and that's it...

I may come on to look at messages and such, but don't even expect that...

So anyways, I'm leaving up my Kakashi One-shot because it was Aami's birthday present, and I'll leave up the Naruto One-Shot as a symbol of all the people that have left (Aika [girl I wrote it for] left almost... yikes, a year ago... cause she left last october....)

Sorry guys, but it's not worth it anymore...

Well, I don't seem to be very loved at the moment... but that's probably my fault for not being on very often. I want to apologize for that! I just really haven't been having as much fun on Quizilla as I used to... Some of my friends disappeared (Summy-chan, Miss Tear), some I haven't talked to in several months (Lucy, Tracey, Delilah), and only one I have kept up with (thanks Aami-chan!).

So, um, maybe this will get your attention.... Coming Soon chapter 3 is about half-way finished (at page 6 right now).

I'm not sue what else to say... Except that if you can find me on Fanfiction.net (Blood Sucking Fox is me... but I don't use it often... it's a different one), or on Lunaescence.com, you might find a happier, more update prone me. I don't know what it is, but Quizilla has lost almost all of it's appeal....

-Z

Oh dear gawd!
I just submitted a new plot bunny for people to look at/over and send me feedback!
So, I went to look at my other sotries and all I had to say was Holy Fudge!! The er... Font I chose for Coming Soon is horribly small!! I'm sorry!! I'll fix it as soon as the site lets me edit my creations!! But if it isn't done by the time I get back, then I'll resubmit it without the crazy fonts!

Ah yes, when I get back... Well, you see, I leave on the 9th for a camp. Not just any camp, a real outdoors camp! We'll be rock climbing (which I do all the time), hiking three 14ers (14,000 foot mountains)(which I also do), going backpacking, and doing some white water rafting. Needless to say, I won't have any access to the internet. I get back the 17th, but honestly, with the way things have been going for me on here, don't look for nything until the 20th... Quizilla is no longer my priority site.

Anyways, it's not goodbye forever, just goodbye... temporarily... Not that anyone cares... except maybe Aami-chan.

-Z
(in my last journal post, I kinda screwed up my ending... ciao means hello in italian, not goodbye.... my bad)
Also.... Summy-chan, where have you disappeared to?! *sobs* You're gone!!

Well, I did write a post that I thought got posted yesterday. Come to find out that when I logged on today, it was gone. And seeing as Quizilla has seen fit to keep you from keeping drafts, it's permanently gone. And I don't feel up to retyping it...

So here's the basics, I got insulted for about 15 minutes to my face by my 5 friends at school. They spread rumors the last week of school, and I wasn't being treated very fairly, or kindly at all. So, I'm really not in the mood to do anything constructive as I've been sitting on the couch moping and watching old disney movies.

I keep getting prank calls, have been called numerous, numerous bad names, and it's all come down to: I can't deal with any comments on my writing as of right now. I know everybody who does is only trying to help, but I just can't take any critizism at the moment. So please just give me some space, stop asking when I'll update, and let me work out my social problems before I come back.

I haven't even had the courage to write anybody a message with what I liked & what I thought could use some work because I've been beaten down so far.

I won't give up though. I'm not going to do anything drastic, the worst is maybe cuss a few people out to get around my pent up anger. That'd feel good to explode on something other than my dog when my parents aren't around...

and don't suggest that i tell my parents... they'll just ask for names and file for restraining orders... and that'll just make matters worse.

so, i'll talk if you want, but i won't update unless I get a huge burst of confidence.

So ciao,

-Zeyna

Now then, I tag: Aami-chan, Summy-chan, Delilah, and Tracey.

I found this while just browsing. I really think it's important:

Many species around the world are becoming endangered, and some may go extinct at any moment. Awareness is being raised about some species, like the Siberian Tiger. But for others, like the Siberian Leopard (Amur Leopard), which shares the Tiger's territory, nobody knows exists, and they're dangerously close to dieing out.
I not only wish to entertain you, but to inform you of the real dangers, real animals are facing. And hopefully get people to act for those less fortunate endangered animals. For, though it may be too late for the Siberian Leopard, we can save other wonderful, exotic, and beautiful species from going extinct.
The Preceding is (c) of Shade on Lunaescence.com
Help Spread Awareness; Please Copy And Paste This Somewhere It WILL Be Read. Thank You.

Also, here's a picture of the Amur Leopard (Siberian Leopard) talked about. I did some research, too. They estimate that there are only 25 to 40 individual leopards of this species left in the wild!
An Amur Leopard:


I'm sending the message thing around in a message, too. So you may get one of those.

-Z

So my messages kind of disappeared, so I can't exactly reply to anyone.

Sorry.

As I Don't Know how well my archive will transfer over, this is a back up.

..Blood..Sucking..Fox..'s Banner Archive [43 banners & Growing]
(for unreleased original story)

So, my computer was finally given a new charger and is now happily running. Sad to say I was kind of dreading getting my computer back up and running because that meant facing all of the people who have been waiting so patiently for me to either tell them that Coming Soon is still active, a new one-shot is going to get posted, or that the sequel to Lives Change In Seconds is under construction.

To answer those, Yes Coming Soon is still active, but no it will not be receiving an update for another couple of months. So don't get your hopes up, not with a lazy author like me. No, there are a current number of zero one-shots under consturction with a total of one that are even being considered for getting written down. And no i have not even glanced at Lives Change In Seconds since I proclaimed it finished several months ago, even though I ache to get the actual ending written and go back and edit the hell out of it so that it comes out to be a reasonably good series. Right now I've left at least five huge gaping holes that desperately need to be filled. my answer for awhile was that it'd be a three part series, but i'm not sure how that'll work. So until I find a time when I can sit down a plan, do not be expecting to see any activity on here until I've posted a new journal post saying otherwise.

I will still be replying to messages and such, but for some reason since joining this site and actually gaining rabid fans... no offense intended. I love the fact that people message me about my series and one-shots, but the honest truth is that it's a bit more stressful than I need at the moment.

I've forgotten why i even bother writing. which is a very bad thing, because it makes me want to write less and less until finally i'll cease completely, and I don't want that. I love you all but I need a break to gather my thoughts and put them down in writing without being messaged about when it comes out.

So I'll be moving to my secondary account. If you wish to find me then go ahead and try. I dare you, you'll never find it. And I don't crack easily. So I won't tell you.

Like I said, I'll be replying to messages and stuff from this account, but there won't be any activity. And if anyone asks about anything update related I'll direct them to this journal post where they can read their hearts out.

Oh, and I'm right under most of you guys' noses.

Summy-chan, I'll message you so we can still work on Siena's card deck. I'm sorry i wasted my four day weekend on other things, but homework called and i'm still not done with the damn thing. So if you need help, I'll try to be avaliable as much as possible.

Aami-chan, I'm going to write you a wonderful birthday one-shot, but it may not get posted until a few days after your birthday. And it'll be on my secondary account, so I'll message you when it's done. ^^

*Tear*-chan/Miss Tear/Icey-chan, if you ever get on again, know that you can still talk to me at school. Don't freak out because you have to face me. I know your problems will end up resolving themselves in time. ^^

This seems a bit like a good-bye letter, but remember, I'm still hear to chat if you want to!

(don't laugh at my last name. it's stupid cause my dad decided he wanted to make a last name up and give us that name. retarded if you ask me, but I guess he thought 'williams' was too plain...)

Well, my poor computer... adapter. The doggy got ahold of it and ripped it out of the wall, fraying the wire. And then the computer fell off the counter onto the computer cable (heh heh, my fault. I had it precariously placed half on half off of a counter over the carpet.). So naturally, once my computer runs out of battery (which happened about an hour ago) I'll no longer be able to update anything or re-vamp anything. *sweatdrop* So i've taken this oportunity to work on aa different plot bunny that's been knawing for a long long while and will finally be fed.

Sorry 'bout that. But how many of you like Ouran High School Host Club? That's what the plot bunny is for. Also, it's for kaoru in particular from OHSHC. So it should be a big challenge. We'll find out how it ends up working out...
