Merry Christmas, everybody. Hope you had an awesome time today!
And before you all ask: no, the big mystery box wasn't a technological wonder or a computer or anything like that - it would have been awesome beyond recognition if it was, but it wasn't.
Rather, it was a $200 art set: pastel, pencils, watercolor pencils, oil, acrylic, watercolor, a spatula, a tabletop easel - you name it, it's probably in there. @_@ My grandpa wanted to get me something really nice for Christmas, so that's
So I'm really really sick today, but I still wanna try to do something special and have fun.
Can't really get up and about without pain, so it'd have to be simple things.
Any ideas? :<

EDIT: Updated with Kanto/Johto Pokemon and full list of inaccessible Pokemon still needed. Updated with Pokemon available for trade.
Fellow Pokemon Players!
I'm working on my HeartGold PokeDex and I need some help. My list is a little short, as I'm only going to work on one or two regions at a time + Pokemon I have absolutely no access to from other games or the Global WFC. Trading would be to me and then straight back to you - I have no intention of keeping the Pokemon, I merely want to f
*phew*
Just finished the Death Star for my bro's Star Wars room (see yesterday's entry). I couldn't find the wall paint I was supposed to use, so I had to use acrylic... I've been working on it for about 2 and a half hours now, and I'm actually very content with what I've done so far. (I've gotten to make little tiny X-Wings and TIE fighters everywhere - it's so much fun. ^^)
And now I've finally made myself some lunch. Turkey 'n Cheese Bagel with a big ol' cup of Caramel Chocomint coffee.
For the first time in my life, I am actually sick of being cooped up in my room, working on Photoshop.
Prolly because I'm not drawing on said Photoshop, merely editing hundreds of pictures.
Computer overexposure making Niki brain melt. T___T

Bookmarks! :3
Gali, Pohatu, and Lewa respectively.
Thinking about selling these when I get the rest of them done (7 total). They're approx. 1.5x5 in. and would be around $2-4 a piece (I want to find some protective film or something first, no idea how much that'll cost. )
Interested? No? Okay then, well, happy Wednesday I guess.
EDIT: Uhhhh wow. XD; Between you guys and my art page on a different site, I've gotten so much feedback about these! Thanks so much!

There's really a lot of wonderful stuff they teach Boy Scouts.
Stuff like the Heimlich Maneuver.
It comes in wonderfully handy when a parent starts choking violently during supper.
It's even more handy when that parent happens to be your parent.
So proud of my little brother, BZP member krazyrapdude, for saving my dad's life tonight! :,)
(Dad's ok and resting at home - he's pale and shaken and went a while without oxygen because of how lodged the food was in his throat, but he is
See Niki.
See BZPer krazyrapdude.
See Niki and krazyrapdude on sugar one rainy Sunday night.
See them make a random recording.
See them, over a period of time, make that random recording into a random clip.
See that clip.
See them watch you laugh.. or... just be puzzled.... at their randomness.
All art except volcano explosion, nuclear mushroom, and random totem = Niki
Takua = Niki

My AC entry is almost finished.
I may need another black and another brown pencil to finish it, though. Mine are only an inch long now, and it's getting painful to sharpen them, especially when I use my sandpaper block. I chafe skin. And bleed.
It is not fun to be in pain for the cause of art. D:

Uh... short-absence-explaination... just a second... IthinkIlostit...
*random papers go flying*
Ah, yes... I've been sick and downing antiobiotics for the last couple days. Yay.

Fine. Explaination of the explaination.
I had a ton of trouble eating on Thursday. A TON. Like, I couldn't chew my food, cause it made my jaw and neck really really hurt, and I couldn't move my head to the right at all.
Now, this has happened to me before, but it usually lasts a day, at the most. So
Life is hard sometimes.
Sometimes life just means you give things up.
And no one really enjoys giving things up.

It's been raining like nuts today. It's really bitter and cold, and there is so much flooding.
My sister and her beau came back from school to visit for break. I'm a little bitter that I have to give up my bedroom, but it's only for a week. Hopefully the sunshine will come back soon so I can go on walks and go play around in the park with my brother. The next week
Had a light show today. I was kinda proud of what we'd done with it for what little time we had, but uh...
There was a couple problems.
You see, I was not told that:
A) VITAL cue timing was completely changed without my permission,
B) the set style was changed behind our backs, or
C) that I was the one having to run our show completely with no help from my partner.
AUGH
So yeah, it flopped. Really bad.

So now, Niki is really REALLY ticked and embarrassed and
My family went on a trip to Disney World over New Year's week. While we were gone, a pipe in our fridge broke and we came home to a lot of water damage.
Today we're finally getting around to ripping up the damaged carpet and Pergo. The replacement flooring is really nice, like a cocoa-colored Armstrong wood flooring. I'm really excited to get shiny new floors... I'm just pooped from ripping up the old ones. XD;
It's also a wonderful 65 degrees out, and I'd rather be spending such a nice d
I went merrily strolling to the mailbox today to meet Mr. Mailman as he drove up. He's a wonderful guy - he helps my dad out fixing his car, and he knows I and my siblings love Lego. ^^
So when I saw him pull up with a huge grin on his face, I knew it immediately.
LEGO MAGAZINES AHOY.
After being handed a pile of assorted letters and pizza coupons, I proceeded to whip out both mine and my brother's edition of the publishment of glory out of the mess and leaf through my copy's pages fran
Hi guys! *scribble scribble*
Frantically trying to finish a few art projects that are due tomorrow evening on top of one that just got destroyed in the mail on the way to its owner. *scribble*
But I've got oreos and milk. *nomnomnom*
So the frantic just got a little less frantic and a little more sweet. ^.^
Anyways!
*SCRIBBLEMADLY*
I'll post the pictures if I live to tell the tale. I've got so much to get done!

First of all:
I've got to give a great big THANK YOU to Uncle K.com for the gift.
~*~
I just realized it's really quiet in my house right now. Might be because of the fact that both of my siblings and my dad are gone for the week....
Na...that can't be it...
Yeah, my mom and I are spending some quality time together this week, which we usually never get to do because of the busyness of our summer. It's awesome, cause I've recently learned that she's been through exactly what I'm
Hey members.
Quick comment.
If you want to stay friends with someone -
Learn to forgive and forget.
It's important to kinda nudge our friends in the right direction if they make mistakes, yes.
But no matter how big the mistake is, if the person apologizes, forgive. Then forget - that doesn't mean bring it up later. Learn to let it go. Clutching onto a negative memory doesn't make you a better person than everyone else.
Holding onto something like that just causes resentment an
