shadowmancer1989's Journal

Because I can't find the edit button to edit my first (impulsive) entry after the makeover.

Also, some of my creations are MIA, and the story format is all messed up. I do NOT want to go through all that crap to fix it, so I guess I'll go read the quizilla thingy and see what the heck's going on.

*Goes to read updates*

I'm not the only one with missing creations, right?

o.o

Wow, Quizilla has really changed in the twenty minutes since I last came here and it said it was undergoing maintenence.

I'm liking the changes, too. It will probably take a little getting used to, but oh well! I can't believe how much things have changed in the four years since I joined this site o.o

Yay quizilla! *Does happy dance*

Who else things it rocks?

Some things just DESERVE a fangirly squeal, dammit!

~Kyaaa!~

Now that that's out of my system...I'm so freaking happy to see this manga turned into an anime. It's been awhile since I read the manga, and I think I stopped around volume 6 or 8 and got distracted, but, like Tsubasa Chronicles, it has once again caught my interest.

T.T There are only two episodes out right now, but I suppose it's worth the wait. So yeah, I just had to get that out of my system.

Random question: As far as pairings go, who's your favorite?

KanameXYuuki

ZeroXYuuki

Or the whole Yaoi thing a lot of girls seem to like? XD

o.o I myself can never choose between the first two...or at least, not until I read more of the manga...

Picture?

*GLOMP*

Sorry if you don't like tackle hugs, but I figure a glomp a day keeps the doctors away...

Or something like that.

Yeah, that's pretty much it, besides this random picture:

Hello, those of you who have read my stories or talked to me before know that I am usually a pretty upbeat, funny person. Most of the time I don't have much to worry about and I can just bask away in my own little world of sunshine and rainbows.

Today, one of my friends sent me a text that made me go white in the face and worry like I have never worried before. I know a lot of people who are upset threaten to commit suicide or throw the idea around casually, but when something like what he said comes out of nowhere, it can be really worrisome.

Anyways, I'm not going to go into specifics about what he said, but I'm still concerned. I talked to him a little bit but he wouldn't be specific about what was upsetting him. So, I talked to another friend of mine, who doesn't know him.

This friend told me to call the suicide hotline, and even though that might sound extreme, I think it was the right thing to do. It's better to go overboard than take chances, right? I personally think he was just upset, and not serious, but I did call the hotline and let them know what was going on.

The thing I'm worried most about, though, is that I don't know this guy very well. We've only been friends for a short time because he used to date another friend of mine, and he hangs out with one of my sisters.

I'm just hoping he won't push me away too much, because I care too much about all of my friends to let any of them slip away.

Thoughts?

Well, he got booted last night.

I hope you will all join me in shedding a few tears? Not the silent kind, but the obnoxious kind where you get all stuffy and you have to run for a kleenex or you will get snot everywhere. Yeah, that kind.

T.T

That said, I half expected Danny to get kicked off. He is an excellent singer and performer, but the judges were right on one thing, I think; he IS a bit more shy than he appears to be.

Hopefully Danny will keep pursuing the path of a singer and we can all hear lots of wonderful things from him in the future, so that we may all continue to bear witness to his incredible talent and that sarcastic humor that makes him all the more appealing.

I guess I'll end this with a picture and a somewhat cliche/corny "You rock Danny!"

Well, my sister had her first baby EARLY this morning. Unfortunately she had it in Alaska, and I'm stuck in Misery, I mean Missouri, so I haven't seen any pictures yet.

My new niece is named Aamira Haze Brown, and she's healthy as can be!

Well as far as family time and presents go, I had a lot of fun and whatnot. However, there is a cloud on the horizon, and tomorrow or by the end of the week at least, I figure I'll be in pretty low spirits. I have a friend (I won't say her name) who has lied to me one too many times, and I have put up with it for a very long time because she is a nice person and she was a good friend. However, she has an illness that she needs to get addressed before I can even think of being friends with her anymore, so the next time I see her I will have to break off the friendship. This will be hard for me too, because I have known her for a few years and we were close, and I have never had to break off a friendship before. Wish me luck, and if you are reading this then I will talk to you through e-mails only, if you ever have anything you want to talk to me about.

I know, it's a bit of a shocker that I ACTUALLY finished the story when I said I would, but when I say I'm going to do something I must do it! XD Anywho, if you don't know about my story then I would love for you to check it out!

The story is written from Sasuke's point of view and I tried my very best not to make it cliche. Some things that may seem typical at first turn out to be completely different, and the ending is something I am quite proud of.

Sasuke has been gone now for almost three years, meaning it is almost time for Orochimaru to take over his body. The now-sixteen-year-old Uchiha has never once felt regret for leaving Konohagakure to gain the strenth to defeat his older brother. However, after meeting a fox demon in human form who values all life and who harbors unparalled purity, Sasuke begins to question his decision. For the first time in almost three years he begins to feel something, anything, everything. All of his long-suppressed emotions are finally bubbling to the surface and Sasuke doesn't know what's best to do anymore. Why is it that this girl has such a profound effect on him? And why is his thirst for revenge being quenched, even though Itachi is still very much alive?

This is a mini-series, so it's not very long, and the part from Saiyame's point of view isn't required reading to understand the story. It will help you understand her character better though, because she might come off as a bit too perfect in the story. I assure you she has plenty of faults! ^.^

Unlike the Naruto manga, I don't read the Bleach manga, only watch the show. I've been waiting ever since the filler season began for Aizen to get around to kidnapping Orihime, but now that Ulqu...that one Arrancar whose name I can't spell (You know, the cool one?) has actually come to collect her I'm FURIOUS!!! I mean, I saw it coming, but now I have to wait another week for the next episode. Meanwhile, it seems like the whole Shinigami gang is really screwed for the time being. I mean, Ichigo just lost his hollow mask, Toushirou is getting kicked all over the place (as are his teammates), and Urhuhara is going to have to get serious with the crazy blonde Arrancar.

On a random note, Luppi's name really suits him, ne?

I wish I had a super special awesome idea for a Bleach story, even though I really shouldn't be thinking about anything else right now with all the other things I've promised to write. Anyone know of any good Bleach stories that are well written and have good spelling and grammar? I must FINISH my Sasuke story so I can post it, so bye.

Or not, one more thing. I am SO very glad that they hate killing off people in Bleach. Everyone would be pretty much dead right now if it wasn't for that. Wow, they haven't shown Ishida for awhile either...I doubt he'll join the fight because of his promise with his dad, but it will be interesting when he comes back.

Wow, this is long o.o

Sooooo they finally said what we all knew, right? Naruto and Yondaime are father and son. Goshers, I can smell all the new Yondaime fanfics that will probably be popping up now that this little bit of information is out in the open. And we even got a bonus! Uzumaki Kushina (Kishina?)! w00t, I wonder what her story is.

Maybe I should do a poll..."Is Naruto's mother dead or off doing some sneaky ninja stuff?" Meh, maybe not. I vote her dead, but it would be pretty awesome if she was alive and she came back and Naruto and her could be one small happy family and then he would marry Hinata and they would have little Uzumaki-Hyuuga kids and Sasuke WOULDN'T be killed off (I still think he's going to get killed off. At the very least he better take Itachi with him.) Sasuke DID pwn that Itachi clone/illusion/whatever it was thing though...but we all know it's not quite the same.

Speaking of Sasuke, if you haven't read my Sasuke story then you should. It's simple as that. But I suppose I could elaborate a little bit and tell those of you who don't know that it's just a miniseries and I'm almost done, and it's from Sasuke's point of view, and there's a bit of a plot twist, and this is such a run-on sentence that my old English teacher is probably choking to death right now...or gearing up to strangle ME.

And who the hell are those other guys in Akatsuki cloaks? They don't seem like replacements to me...'Nother poll: Will Jiraiya die or live? o.o

Ok, I'm done.

MY SISTER IS HAVING A BABY GIRL!!! *SQUEAL* Her name is going to be Amira Haze Brown. Pretty, ne?

So I just felt like letting everyone know, for no particular reason. No one cares...except me XD

Lookit the pretty banner I made for Shimoyake!!! (She's awesome, check out her stories).

You have to look really close in the background.

*Does super special awesome happy dance* I actually finished my Hiei story over the weekend *Insert gasp here* I know it took me half of forever to get around to writing the ending, and I spent more time putting off that story in general than writing it, but I am pretty happy with the ending.

It's a total of 94 pages on my computer, which makes me uber happy, but I am also really happy to have it done. For those of you who do read my Welcome Death With Open Arms story, sorry to make you wait so long, and I hope none of you were big Yuki fans *Shifty eyes*

Furthermore, I have ALMOST completed my Sasuke story too, and I hope to have the ending of it posted very soon. It's quite short compared to my Hiei story, but I never intended for it to be really long. After I finish writing it from Sasuke's point of view, I'm going to try writing it in third person/from Saiyame's POV. I think that will help my readers understand her character much better, because Sasuke's infatuation of her makes her seem a bit too perfect. I can assure you all now that she has some serious flaws, and I will be happy to exploit them later on XD

I was thinking about writing a short Draco Malfoy "love" story. I put love in quotes because it will be a story of unrequitted love. I'm going to make it in first person from my OC's point of view, though I don't know much of anthing about her yet.

*Distracted* My cat is trying to catch the pencil on that "draw on your memory" add XD

Ok, back to the subject. Anywho, would any of you want to read a story like that? I think it will be best to write it as an unrequitted love story because I don't want to impede too much on the original Harry Potter storyline. Also, It will be written in past tense and the title I have chosen is "Once LOved."

If you have any comments or suggestions then I would be glad to take them into consideration :) (Once again, this will only be a *fairly long* short story. I don't think I could handle another long series). XD

Or not.

Anywho, I've suddenly become overwhelmed with emotion and whatnot, so this is to everyone on quizilla, good and bad.

Everyone who writes on quizilla does so because that is their passion, or at least that's what I'd like to believe. This could possibly be the sappiest thing I have ever said, but I just wanted to say that whether you're a wonderful writer whose stories fill the reader with anticipation and excitement, or someone whose spelling and grammar could use a little bit of work, you are awesome :)

If you're writing because you want to then it doesn't matter what the material is, as long as you strive to get better and develop your own work of art and your own style; a style that can enrapture any audience.

Well, this sounded a lot better in my head, but I hope I got the message across well enough anyways. I'm not usually so sappy so I'm a bit new at this

---------------

On another, random note, I will very much enjoy reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows this weekend!

Sorry to my readers of my Hiei story T.T I have a major case of writer's block, but I will sit down and force myself to write as soon as my social life dies down. I did update my Sasuke story not too long ago, though, but I will try to work on it too.

I FINALLY got photoshop on my computer so I can make some halfway decent banners now ^.^ Here are a couple of recent examples using my stories as guinea pigs XD The other half of my Sasuke banner and part of my Hiei banner are cut off so you can see the WHOLE thing here:

Welcome Death With Open Arms

When the Bough Breaks

So, I've gotten quite a bit written on my Sasuke story while I was gone, but only a little on my Hiei story (School and writer's block got in the way).

Anyway, does anyone still read my Hiei story? I know I can probably get people to read my Sasuke story again, it's pretty good and unique.

Either way, I'll finish both stories and then maybe write random short stories or take requests. If people want banners made too then I will be getting photoshop in probably a month or less. So yeah, let me know if you want anything, I must bid you all (or few) adieu!

~Sy

d00m!!!

Holy flying batsticks!!! The manga just keeps getting better and better, ne? First we find out Kurenai is carrying Asuma's baby, and then Sasuke decides to turn on Orochimaru.

I am psyched to see how this develops further, especially becuase I know Oro won't go down without a fight. Sasuke attacking him was somewhat unexpected, but at the same time it's like...'bout freaking time!

All I know is that this chapter will help fuel my inspiration for my own Sasuke story that I'm working on, and it makes me happy.

The second episode of the time skip surprised me in only one way. YOU CAN EASILY TELL THAT DEIDARA IS A BOY IN THE ANIME!!! T.T He's probably happy about that, but how is Gaa-kun going to mistake him for a girl with that voice and the whole 'looking like a boy' thing? *Fume* So yeah, that's pretty much all I've got to say...except...

Who thinks Sasuke will be killed off at the end of the series and who thinks he'll live? I personally can't see any other option for him, but I hope he'll live.

O.O I was NOT expecting Kurenai to be carrying Asuma's baby. That just makes it even more sad that he died T.T

So, thoughts on that?

Seems like genius intelligence runs in the family; Shikamaru's dad beat him at shougi. Ooh, and Naru-chan's gotten stronger and smarter and overall more lovable (Same with Shika-chan).

OH! And wtf? Sasuke no baka (who I still just have to like...or else I wouldn't be writing a story about him...) he just knocked out a ton of Shinobi, but he didn't kill them. Think he's bluffing about them not being the one he wants to kill? Nah, that can't be it :)

Here's another question: Who hates Sakura? I used to find her annoying but she's gotten much stronger and more mature, so she's pretty darn cool now.

w00t! I just went through all of my Hiei story updates and made them look pretty. I was very sloppy with them when I first started posting on quizilla, but now they are all pleasant-looking and stuff, so if you're a Hiei fan then you should read them *nod*

Oh, and if you know of any newer Hiei stories that rock you should let me know (I've read a lot of the old ones). Lookie at the banner for it, isn't it pretty? (I made it.)
