I was hoping that when I sat down to type this out, I'd be able to form the words I needed, but I find that probably isn't going to happen. I'll do my best, so bear with me! :) (Skip to the end if you don't care to hear about why I've been absent. I won't take offense! It's a lot of reading and a lot of you just got out of school lol)

I haven't been logged on here in nearly a year. Whoops! I promised I would be back and do more awesome stuff, but I'm afraid those promises will have to fall short. So much has happened in the past almost-year that I won't be able to tell you without writing a book, so I'll do my best to sum it all up in a few sentences that probably won't give enough detail. Oh well! :shrug:

:bulletred: Since I last logged in, I have gone through my final year of high school and am now graduated! I'm on to bigger and better things! Tomorrow I start college and will major in Digital Gaming and Media Design in a few years. I'm very excited, and nothing will stop me from accomplishing my goals. I'm still passionate about animation and all it's beautiful forms, and I strive to make it into that field.

:bulletorange: I know you guys haven't known me as very religious, but I actually am. More so now than perhaps a year ago, actually. I have full faith that I will go where I need to be, even if I don't know where that is, and with God by my side, I take each step with confidence.

:bulletyellow: Senior year was just…wow. The people I met, the journey I took, the things I've done…I've won three more awards at the Scholastic Art awards, one of which went to nationals in New York, and I took a video game programming and design class called Digipen at a trade-school type program for high school students. Let me tell you, it was the BEST class ever. I loved each and every person in there, my teacher Jim, the projects we did, the stuff I learned…Hell, even the math was fun! If there is anything I'm going to miss about high school, it's going to be all those lovable geeks and nerds that made every day worth waking up to.

:bulletgreen: My graduation present was a new tablet. Intuous 4, baby! I love her so much. C: Still no name, but I've already made some cool stuff. This will help me in many ways and will be a vital tool in my learning!

:bulletblue: On another note, I'm going to be helping with a table in Artist Alley at Aki Con in October, 2012. Kori, Magen, and I are sharing it with a wonderful artist named Marina for three days. We'll be selling all sorts of things, like art prints to hand made figures to dresses and much more. If you're in the Bellevue area, come check us out and all the other cool stuff that will be there, too!

:bulletpurple: While there have been many funs and games, there have also been some misfortunes that I've had to work through…
Like losing my house. Dad lost his job, and we just couldn't pay the bills any more. Just as high school was coming to an end and all my college stuff had to be taken care of, everything stopped and I faced eviction. This meant no college for me, and it came down to an emergency plan that involved me moving in with a friend. That plan went out the window due to unforeseen circumstances, and I had no choice but to move back in with Mom. I love my mom, but her place is hard to manage while staying sane. (Tenshi? Sane? Pffffft) It is a miracle I'm able to go to college with all the crap I've been putting up with, but with my dad's help it has been possible. I love you, Daddy! :heart:

:bulletpink: Along with that, there has been an incredible amount of family drama. Almost more so than when my parents got divorced. Things have been so up in the air and sketchy that it is making the people I live with kind of scared. They won't admit it, but its obvious. People who are scared do stupid things, and…I'm not going to go into the details since a lot of it is very private, but I think you get the picture. I'm not directly involved in any way, don't worry. I'm sort of along for the ride until I can find a way to move out.

Ummmmm I think that's all the major stuff. :XD: I kept thinking "I've got to get back to all those awesome people I unintentionally stopped talking to" but I never really got around to it until now.

I told you awhile ago that I'm leaving dA as Tenshi, and now that's finally happening. We've had some awesome times, I've shared cool stuff with you and vise versa, but it's time for me to go…(I PROMISED I WOULDN'T CRY *sniff*) There are so many things I wanted to do that I didn't get the chance, but oh well. I try not to have regrets with everything I do so I apologize to those that I promised stuff to, I will never get to do it. I hope you understand, and I'm sure you guys will because you're awesome like that.

I even drew a last picture for you all, but it got lost in storage when I lost my house. I'll see what I can do about recreating it maybe…if I can get the time. ^^;

Over the years, Tenshi has become something a lot more than just a persona to represent me online. She's gotten her own unique character, and for that, she'll always be in my heart. (Which means you guys will be to, because you all helped create her just as much as me, if not more.) You guys have affected me more than you will ever know, and I know I've inspired some amazing people as well. You have no idea what it means to me to know that all the stupid stuff I do actually did something for someone out there! So I wrote this sappy thing to sum it all up:

A character will always live on.
They exist forever in our minds, and our hearts.
They carry out our fantasies.
They take from us what they can't make on their own.
We take from them what we can't from ourselves.

The years have been short and our fun has been long.
Now it is time to say farewell, but I won't say goodbye.
You are a part of me just as I was once a part of you.
Now I live on, and inside of me, so do you.

I have grown far from our path.
You will forever be in mine.

Always with me, always with you.


Signing off,
- Tenshi

:bulletgreen: Ooooooo so excited. Guess where I’m going? I’m going somewhere special. Somewhere magical. Somewhere over the rainbow where bluebirds fly…
That’s right, college. Well, not really ‘college’ but an art institute. And I’m not really going to be a student (just yet), I’ll be a guest student for about 4 days starting on June 24th. While there I will experience all the amazingness of dorm life while attending REAL animation and design classes that I would ACTUALLY be doing if I attended an art college. I’ll get a sneak peek at the road ahead of me! HUZAH!!! It cost a crap load of money that I’ve been saving for the past 4 years, but I’m pretty sure it’s worth it. I’m hoping the experience helps shape my career path and stuff like that. Wish me luck!

:bulletgreen: WHERE ARE ALL THESE MOTHS COMING FROM?! HOLY SH!T THEY KEEP FLYING IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER SCREEN AND ATTACKING MY FACE. HEEEEEEEELP!!! THEY HAVE TASTED BLOOD!!!!

:bulletyellow: My job hunt is very unsuccessful. I have tried EVERY F*CKING BUSINESS/STORE/RESTAURANT/FLYING MONKEY and none have even one job opening. I turned in resumes anyway, but…agh. This is the worst year ever to go job hunting, especially when you haven’t graduated grade school yet. Damn it, someone hire me!!

:bulletorange: The Hetalia headphones I painted have been grabbed, but DO NOT FRET!! You can still request a pair! I’ll do any character you like from anywhere in any style. They are $40 because it is the GOOD kind of headphones with awesome sound quality and comfort, not to mention my customation make them look ROCK’N cool. I’m making another set of Miku Hatsune headphones from her PV Love is War this summer so wait for that~! =D
:iconthe-tenshi-store:

:bulletred: Tenshi is counting her days.
For many reasons, I'm beginning the end of my dA page. Not only this, but my presence as Tenshi on the internet will dwindle until she eventually disappears. It's not like I won't go online anymore, I just won't be Tenshi. I feel like I've outgrown her and need to move on.
Internet is a hard thing to come by these days. It is so unreliable and iffy that I can’t make any promises I’ll be back within the month every time I log off. With so many real life things starting to take form as well, I won’t have time to have fun in the virtual world anymore. High school is almost over, college and work begins soon, and hopefully I will be on the track of my dream career.
This is the end of an era of my life that has been filled with discovery and involvement with the world outside of my small little town. As much as I would love to stick around and roam this wonderful place, I must back away and take life by the horns. My plan, quite frankly, is this: Get off my computer, raep life up the ass for all it’s worth, then when I have achieved stability I might return in, like, ten years or something.
I will never forget the fun times I’ve had here with you guys! (Some more than others, but I won’t embarrass anyone and say names.) This experience has helped shape my views on humanity in general and how so many people can get together from thousands of miles away with only a little similar interest and the click of a mouse. I hope you won’t be too upset with my leaving, but if you have a problem with me making a life for myself than please feel free to speak up and make yourself look like an @$$. Thank you all!!

There isn’t a set date when I disappear so far, but it will be this summer. The-Tenshi-Store will remain for awhile because it is my main source of money with no positive job outlook. Thank you for supporting me in my choices!

AHAHAHAHA. DELETE.
Yeah…I haven't really been on dA (or the rest of the interwebs) in quite awhile…So an update is in order, yes?

Explanation as to why I haven't been online:
Three reasons: School is ending soon so finals are right around the corner (yes that was a reference to 'that' btw) and the teachers are going NUTSO.
The second reason is that the internets at Kanker's place suddenly amounts to a pile of stinky sh!t in the sun, making it almost impossible to do much more other than check my e-mail. Even that takes half an hour just to answer 4 messages.
The last reason is that I just don't feel like it. I love the internet, I really do, but sometimes we just need some time apart. It's good for us to explore new things and take a break from each other every once and awhile, because every time we get back together we seem to have a deeper connection and a much better relationship afterwards. Sometimes ya gotta step back to appreciate the things you love~

WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON, YOU ASK?
A few amazing things.

:bulletred: Sakura Con 2011 was SO FREAKING FUN. Omgomgomgomg...omg. I will provide ranting on how cool it was in the descriptions of various photos I will be uploading here within the next week.

:bulletorange: Tenshi is starting her job hunt again! I will successfully infiltrate the occupational world and leech off it for my own personal gain. Wish me luck, 'cause I really need it.

:bulletyellow: FATE IS BRINGING ME TO CALIFORNIAAAAAA. Okay, not really. But so far when I look at my post grade school options, I seem to be directed towards moving to California. One thing I found even has me working for DISNEY. In DISNEY LAND. Can you imagine working in the happiest place on earth while said happiest place on earth provides you a dorm room and food and even a pay check while they simultaneously pay for your schooling at a trade school in the feild of your choice? CAN YOU? I'm not saying I'm going to do it, but D@MN that would be cool. It's definitely noted for further investigation.

:bulletgreen: Holy jebus, did I mention it's almost the end of the school year? I'm going to be a senior…BUT GUESS WHAT? I'm only going to high school for half the day next year. The other half is at an amazingly awesome program where I will be…*dramatic pause* LEARNING HOW TO MAKE VIDEO GAMES. YES THAT'S RIGHT. VIDEO GAMES. I got my acceptance letter and I almost peed my pants. :dance: I'm totally looking forward to my morning classes in DigiPen Game design! I'll probably talk more about this later.

:bulletblue: I have a new cosplay plan for next year that will kick @$$. Who here has seen the amazing of Eureka SeveN? Well you all should, because it is such a phenomenal series! I noticed that all the Eureka SeveN cosplays I see are usually of Eureka and Anemone in their normal clothes just chill'n. I wish to put a stop to this obvious crime. We need more plug suits! PLUG SUITS BABY!! I will be going as Anemone from Eureka SeveN in her Nirvosh Type:theEND plug suit, complete (hopefully) with glowing lights and severed cables in her back. It will be badass, and I might even include some blood splatter considering Anemone is quite the crazy biotch. Here's some pictures so you can get an idea:

From the anime: www.animeresimleri.com/data/me…
Probably what my costume is going to turn out like: fc07.deviantart.net/fs10/i/200…
This picture is just boss and sums her up in a nutshell :XD: i512.photobucket.com/albums/t3…

:bulletpurple:This requires money though. I need $44 for the full body suit so I can customize it and $15 for the wig, plus how much it will take to customize the suit to look like Anemone's. So come on people, please go to The-Tenshi-Store and commission me! I have a bunch of new cool stuff up for sale, including a pair of coolio hand painted Hetalia Headphones. Please take them from me, Italy's face is making me see red and I want it out of my house. :faint:

:bulletblack: The fund raiser…I'm going to rant now.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THIS IS SO MUCH HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE I AM ABOUT TO DIE OF IMPATIENCE GFNSDJ;AGDSA :iconfrageplz: I just need to get a credit card number that is ALL I need to get the prints rolling but I don't have a credit card so I ask my dad because he is LITTERALLY the only one that I know that still has a credit card and he says "yeah sure whatevs. I'll get to it." and it's been like, two months. TWO MONTHS. Fawking Kanker!!! I understand you work from 5 to 7 but COME ON. It takes 5 minutes!! GRAAAAAHHHHHHHHH I'm going to have a mental breakdown soon and have to go into therapy and eventually a mental ward and he's going to be all sad 'cause it will be all his fault and I will be in my straightjacket banging my head against the very soft wall screaming "JUST A CREDIT CARD NUMBER DADDY THAT'S ALL I NEEDED NOW LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME YOU SON OF A-" and that's when the happy men in the white coats inject me with happy stuff and I fall into a happy sleep. It'll go just like that. :|

Yeah I think that's it…lol lots of typing. Until next time~

PRINTS?
Seriously, life is TOTALLY hating my fundraising idea. I can't seem to take a step forward without taking a step back! :faint: Jebus, I am SO close to finally being able to sell the dmned Vocaloid prints for Japan. I would have been selling them on Saturday like I promised if Kanker's b!tch-tastic now ex-girlfriend hadn't gone insane and drove us from our house and me onto JD's couch. I'm back, but there was much work to be done for the restraining order. SO NOW I WAIT FOR THIS SH!T TO BE DONE. WILL I EVER SELL THESE PRINTS??? WILL I EVER GET TO SELL THESE GAWDmned PRINTS????

Oh, and I got someone to color the linearts however I haven't heard back from them in awhile so I wonder just what the h3ll is going on…

OMG FRIGG'N SAKURA CON IS FRIGG'N COMING MAN!!!
Sakura Con is in less than 3 weeks, guys. 3 weeks until Sakura Con. Now all this crap is happening and SAKURA CON IS IN LESS THAN 3 FRIGG'N WEEKS. It's not hindering my plans for the event, no, but it is defiantly giving me the jitters. I'm so excited that I have to wear a diaper 'cause I'm peeing all over the place in excitement…Okay maybe not but I'm almost to that point.

I wanted to get some stuff sold so I can have more money for the event, like the Germany and Italy headphones that I STILL need to draw Italy's stooooopid face on. (I have a price for those, btw. They will be $40.) I also wanted to get a bunch of orders done this week 'cause I'm on spring break but NO. B!tchy Mc B!tchB!tch made sure I couldn't do that. So instead my store is on delay until I get back to my dad's place when school is back in. Oh the humanity! :crying:

TENSHI wut are you cosplaying this year!?!?!
In case you are wondering, yes I'll be cosplaying all three days. In fact I am partaking in two separate cosplay groups and potentially a cosplay duo with JD if she can make it on Sunday. HERE ARE THE AWESOME PLANS:

:bulletwhite: Friday: An Earth-Kingdom-Nomad-Hippy from the episode "Cave of Two Lovers" from Avatar: The Last Airbender with mah friendlies Slothman and Fartman. We shall sing and play beautiful musics for those stuck at the registration line all day. :) Find us and we'll give you a flower.
:bulletpink: Saturday: Meryl Stryfe from Trigun, along with Grimm who will be Vash (a very…unique…Vash the Stampede) and possibly a Milly Thompson if Ari can make it, plus a Wolfwood if Slothman feels up to it. WE WILL BE PREFORMING AT THE SAKURA CON SKIT CONTEST. Find us and you might get one of Vash's doughnuts...unless they are all eated up by then.
:bulletblack: Sunday: Steampunk…something. I'm deciding between steampunk angel and steampunk airpirate. JD might also be going as a steampunk something. =D Find us and I'll hit you over the head with my bazooka canon. 'Cause that's how I rolllll.

YES I cannot wait! This is quite literally THE even of the year for me and my friends. Christmas has nothing on Sakura con. We plan all year for this and we go all out when it finally arrives! This is also my last year needing a guardian. I'll be 18 next year, but Kori will still be 17…which means I will be her guardian…I WILL BE IN CHARGE OF HER VERY SOUL MUWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA.

So yeah, that's what's up, chicken butt. Tenshi over and oooout.


(BTW I can't believe how many of you fell for my April Fools joke...SERIOUSLY? YOU THINK I'D PUKE IF I WERE TO SEE MY CRUSH? :XD:)
