Well, I might as well have a kiriban prize, so then I'll have to do something. It might not be for a while before the kiriban, but by then I should be a little better and more motivated.

So whoever gets 5060 will get a free request, preferably anthro, but I guess I'm up for something else, possibly. >_>; If no one claims it at 5060, I'll reset it to something else, maybe 5432... I dunno.

Why 5060? Because I needed a number, and 5060 is pretty close to my current page views, so I thought I'd do some free advertising for =machine56. He has a lot of CRAZY AWESOME stuff, so check it out. He has a store in Indonesia, but he also was taking orders and shipping world-wide with his catalog at [link] So make sure you give him a visit and a

Hmm, I think I want some body modifications. Not sure exactly what's out there, but I'd like to say I want three pop-rivet-like (these things LOL [link]) piercings in the scapha [link] , although maybe 3 is a bit too much to fit, so I'd have to stick with only 2 in each ear.

Also, tattoos. Oh, tattoos... My biggest concern with them is that they can affect whether or not you get a job, since first impressions (in RL) are usually always appearances (and a couple of tats along with a mohawk... people instantly think "hard-ass punk", although I'd say I'm far from it (despite what I may try to convince other of onlines ). However, the ones I'd be interested in now would be easily hidden under a t-shirt or pair of pants.

A few I'd consider:
[link] Probably on top of my right hand, or maybe on palm
[link] I like the concept. or [link]
[link] Gotta get this across my back from one shoulder to the other
[link] This... this or the first gearhead tattoo above. can't have both?
[link] Maybe this? xD Gotta have something to show my love of racing
[link] this is pretty cool, but would hurt like a bitch to get done (although comments say otherwise?). also would look like it's eating one of the rivets om nom nom xD
[link] Jin-Roh tattoo? fuck yeah
[link] Also gotta get 0BS0L33T barcode tattoo. probably on neck. how original.

I want to design a totenkopf of some sort, too. Possibly one as a tattoo?

I dunno. Chances of me getting anything done before I move out of the house are probably slim. I guess this journal will also be kinda to help me remember/keep track of tattoos I liked/wanted.

Also, still gotta dye that mohawk green.

WARNING: MILD BAWWFEST FOLLOWS. VIEWER DESCRESSION IS ADVISED DUE TO LARGE AMOUNTS OF EPIC FAIL.

Man life is so shitty. I've been so unmotivated lately (again) despite really trying to draw (three gift arts I'd like to do, plus a small commission on SL, plus the fact that I'd also like to finish my wolf avatar on SL before Christmas, which isn't going to happen because my mom is a fucking bitch. she took away my cellphone, mp3 player, the laptop, headphones, and flash drive last week just because the cell phone bill was $50 more than usual because I was texting oh noes and says she plans on taking my TV away too) b'awww

Sorry if I don't finish the aforementioned drawings before Christmas, although even if I did, I don't have access to the laptop or scanner (which I'd prefer to scan them before possibly mailing them?)

School has been kinda crappy due to my fail. not the greatest grades, although I'm really going to try to bring them up by the end of first semester/next nine weeks. I got called down to the office last Friday due to my grades. said if I don't get shit together, I risk being kicked of of my career tech program (automotive tech) which would be absolutely devastating to me. Also, I keep falling asleep in Algebra II, 7th period, right after lunch (and it's only this period). no matter how hard I try to stay awake, I always end up nodding off slightly if not completely. sure, I could take notes to keep myself occupied, but I'd rather scribble and draw (which I do when the teacher isn't paying attention) as I feel that's more worth my time and more productive. of course, though, this is just an excuse for not doing work, and I really should take some notes since I don't fully understand what's being taught and can't just keep a mental note of everything.

Thankfully, despite having two english reports to work on in two separate classes, I'm actually handling these fairly well. hopefully these will bring my grades up in those two classes.

ahh, what else... been kinda lonely... really lonely* lately.

Christmas is going to be shitty, most likely. we've got no cash, so I'm not expecting any presents this year. no family, relatives, family friends, etc...

I guess I'm looking forward to Christmas break (which starts this Saturday?). No school is a good thing, but it'll be boring as fuck with nothing to do unless it really starts snowing hard and doesn't melt. I'd really love to mess around on my snowboard. ...Also, in auto tech on Thursday and Friday, we're going to be doing like a Pinewood Derby thing, either with the wooden cars, or Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars, or both. That should be somewhat fun... eh

I think I might be getting insomnia? eh, probably not. just been staying up really late. although I had no problem waking up this morning despite not going to sleep until 2:30-3:00AM then getting up at 6:30AM. weird. didn't even feel like that normal shitty morning feel, where you've got crap in your eyes, plus not even that eye-burning feeling you get when you don't get much/any sleep

I dunno what else. guess I'm done with my rant. just needed to vent, I suppose. sorry for spamming your inboxes (if you even read this bit down here) ._.

Please note I'm not trying to beg for or demand anything. You don't have to do anything. I just thought it'd be fun to participate in this meme by posting this and also trying to help others' wishes come true as well.

=========

THE BASICS: write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any 10 wishes you'd like to have granted, no matter what they are. Possible or seemingly impossible. People look and grant the wishes if they can. It's not about "OMFG PRESENTS", it's about making someone else's holiday a little brighter by giving. Personally, I get more out of giving than receiving sometimes. It's just a good feeling to give.

STEP ONE

** Make a post in your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

** If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you. In this case, you can always just note someone on dA.

** Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!


STEP TWO

** Surf around your friend list to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

** If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

** You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
----------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: OKAY, so here's my "full" wish list; some of the latter items include URLs to find them online (for the cheapest prices I could find, although if you can find cheaper, then awesome!). [link]

In no Particular Order

1. Burton Poacher Snowboard Boots (black, size 13)

2. Gift art is always nice...

3. Misc. gear from Grenade Gloves. Send me a note for specifics (t-shirts, belt, backpack, movies, etc.)

4. Gear from my Sponsors, Steel MX Optics and Adrenln Industries (I have a 40% discount code)

5. CycloDS Evolution [link]

6. Cash, Checks, or Visa/PayPal Gift Cards preferred/would probably be easier than buying specific items, plus would allow for last minute item changes

7. Rome SDS S&M balaclava [link]

8. Skull Candy Asym Earbuds (Black/Red)

9. The Tribe’s Parkour Tutorial DVD Volume 1 [link]

10. A bit out there, and more of a long-term goal, but a 3-day class [$2950 tuition fee, plus external lodging and transportation fees] at the Team O’Neil vehicle control clinic in Dalton, New Hampshire would be awesome. For more info, see: [link] [A winter class would be nice, too, but would require my own vehicle and would be a 14hr+ drive, one way.]

Email is DarkDragon7455[at]gmail[dot]com. Send a note for IRL address, I suppose. Thanks.
