Shin is an angst-ridden teenager who likes to draw, write, and sew.

Shin is hyper, loveable, kind, cute, considerate, and understanding among other things.

Shin is also moody, evil, bitchy, mean, stupid, annoying and selfish, among other things.

What is Hybrid Fashion?

Hybrid Fashion is a name that Ursa made up. Shin decided to use it for this site because his fashion consists of a lot of different styles. Shin likes goth, Jrock, punk, and a splash of pop in his cloths. He decided to show his designs off to the world by creating this site. Most of his fashion and cloths can also be found in his comics and art that are currently residing at Odessa apt. no. 752.

What's with The Layout?

Arashi and Miwako are from a manga by Ai Yazawa, one of Shin's favorite manga-kas. The manga has a lot to do with fashion and Shin thought that they would be the best characters for the site because they represent his two favorite styles of cloths.

Today's Fashion: It's Ironic
Sunday, June 29, 2003 04:16 p.m.

It is. It's summer yet, I'm getting up earlier than I ever did during school. What's wrong with this picture?! It's that damn art class. Grrr.... well... it's not so bad... I mean.. there's no air conditioning.. and we only have overhead windows... that brings sunrays beating directly down on you...

It’s not so bad...

Anyhow... there’s this little art store close by that I can walk to after class. I checked it out with Ursa and this girl we met, and it’s pretty nice. Small.. but hey, they sell independent comics and nothing can beat that. So I'm going to pick some of those up tomorrow.. and I also got some nice canvas paper there, too.

anyhow... So Dan left... I haven’t written to him yet, in fact, I should've written to him on Friday night when I got his address, mailed it to him on Saturday, and the hopefully he would’ve been able to write back on Sunday. But I didn’t. Why? 'Cause... I don't know.. it's weird. Lol.. dumb answer.. plus I'm busy, no one would disagree to that. Nope, the answer to everything is "I'm busy." And you know what? It works. It sucks, too. Who am I kidding? I love the excuse, the excuse to be anti-social! I put work and art before my friends, it's pathetic. But it's convenient, because see, I'm not used to going to a normal school, and seeing my friends everyday, so it doesn't bother me if I don’t see them for two or three weeks. And that might be why I haven't written to Dan... it doesn't feel like he's gone yet. In fact, It might not ever, because he's only coming back in three months, I'll get to see him again, and then it'll only be four years! And seriously, I'm not being sarcastic.. this is the cold, cold truth. The cold truth of a cold person who wakes up freezing in the summer. And the winter... Maybe I am cold-blooded...

Today's Fashion: What the hell?
Saturday, June 21, 2003 09:14 p.m.

My communication skills suck and I'm a very disspointing person.

In anycase. i'm just going to forgt about that for a second and write something happy.. ish. Last night I went to a bookstore.

Last night

do you know what went on last night? That new Harry Potter book came out.

I didn't even know. O_O There were all these kids running around in bad costumes and kitchen brooms. It was really cute, but ,loud. I met up with these two girls frim my tennis class and we talked for a while. They're actually quite energetic and fun... though really preppy, but it's okay. They realize it anyhow. They had never heard of only buying magazines for drawing pictures, though. And they freaked out when they found out I like bands made up of guys who cross dress. LOL.... The small one.. she has a super cute voice and remindes me of Salma Hayek... or however you spell it. And then the other one speaks Korean. It's all very good in the world of tennis. And they showed me pictures of Justine Timberlake and the GC band! I apparently have really bad taste in guys when i pointed out that gorgeous guitarist of theirs... the skinny one. I forget his name. he's pretty... anyhow.. Dan and Derek are supposed to come over tommorow and watch Lain. Though I don't know how we'll be able to do that in only two hours...

Today's Fashion: I'm going to keep this short...
Wednesday, June 4, 2003 02:35 p.m.

Joy to the world! I FINALLY have an EXCUSE to be anit social! That's right, for all my friends that read this, you won't be hearing much from me for the next... oh... three months? HELL YEAH! I'm going to be working my ass off on this comic contest so FUCK YOU!

Yeah.. I think I'm just so sick of talking to people on IM or phone. ......

So I probably won't be on the net for more than 15 or 30 min. at a time. If at all.. hehehe. Don't get me wrong, though, I still love you all. ;D

Today's Fashion: pish posh
Saturday, May 31, 2003 06:54 p.m.

Things have been going alright.. Ursa and I went on a trip up to Pennsylvania last week to St. Thikons monastery... It’s a long story, but it was a good experience.

Last night.. well, I went to see Madame Butterfly! I think it is the first opera that I've actually appreciated. Of course, it's very static (not a bad thing to me), but it was also extremely dramatic. The costume and staging were different from the original, I think. Let's just say, the set... was nearly non-existent.

The interesting thing, though, was it's ability to survive (and thrive) with out and extravagant set; which is saying a lot, I think, because the visual aspect is nearly the only reason why I go to the opera.

It was very dramatic.

Uuuhhh.. I should write some more...

but no such luck. (HA HA!)

Today's Fashion: I'm only happy when it rains
Friday, May 23, 2003 07:37 p.m.

I don’t know for sure who does that song. I want to say Demi Madison, but I know that’s not it. It’s something Manson maybe? Meh. But it rained, and I had to walk my dog in it, and it was cool and all. Rain in the spring is the best, because you have black tree trunks and strikingly bright, green leaves. Heh, yeah. So there was this girl at tennis today. Her last name is Shin and it’s awesome. She’s Korean (and can speak it) and she’s also pretty good at tennis. We got into talking about languages and shit.. She speaks better Korean than I speak Japanese. Damn though, her parents are probably both Korean. So yeah. now I’m REALLY tired.

Today's Fashion: Well well.. lets see..
Saturday, May 17, 2003 06:12 p.m.

What did I do yesterday.... ah well, I got done with school pretty quickly.. and then I think I slept for three hours. What a damn waste of time!

SHIT! I mean.. I could've worked/drawn/written! *bangs head on monitor* I guess I wasn't quite ready to work... I needed some inspiration like.. Tokyo Pop Rising Stars Manga or whatever the HELL it's called! Yes.. Tokyo Pop put out a book.. The grand prize winner, first place winner, and eight runner ups of last years Tokyo Pop manga contest. Ursa bought it... and.. we're probably going to enter this year's competition.

Yep.

enough said about that.

Art Quest!

yes.. that was today. and my god it was wet. and muddy. But that was expected. Met up with Dan.. Jeremy, Josh, and Miss Roge. I bought something from Kim.. this sort of pot thing. It's pretty spif.

so we were there for about two hours, running around in the cold, dampness of the day, looking at art and talking to people.

Fun times.... Naruto doll! KAWAII!

You promised fashion, Fashion! Oh yeah! >_<;;; Ummm.. I think I need to get some make up.. it's so damned expensive, but I don't really have any of the colors and stuff that I want. @_@;; Like.. no red eye shadow, no black lipstick, or white powder.. gah. Thank god for the company Wet and Wilde.. or whatever it's called. What was that one I just heard about..? Urban Decay I think. And then one I saw was called Fetish. I need money. Damn. @_@;

Today's Fashion: Good fun
Tuesday, May 13, 2003 08:43 p.m.

Oh, I guess I didn't write about the prom? Well, a friend invited me, and i had fun. Enough said. I saw X men 2. It was awesome. Go see it you fuck. Whoever you are. .. I love Nightcrawler and Pyro. Everyone loves Nightcrawler.. My brother came down to visit, too. he brought a friend and she bought a Nightcrawler toy at the Toys R Us store near where I live. ENVY.. Other than that.. well, Dan almost died which SUCKS. 'cause now he doesn't have a car either.. and well, he might've died.

Yeah, so this Art Quest thing is coming up... ....it's basically a gathering of artists that live here and they try to sell their stuff. Some of the stuff is pretty good. Anyhow.. i should probably work on some drawings for that. Right now I have two that I'm going to put up.. but they're both pencil and I should probably put up some color.. yeah.

WTF? this isn't even a fashion web site anymore! I'll watch more of the STYLE channel and then write....

Today's Fashion: Tell me the next life will be better.
Wednesday, May 7, 2003 05:23 p.m.

I haven't written in here for so long it makes me sick. I suppose there is a good explanation to all this, aside from my own lack of motivation or time that is. I've been busy with stuff.. Some crazy shit that's been going down, I don't really want to take the time to make actual sentences with them, so I'll just make a list of words here.... : (kind of in order of time) Pasha, church, Holy Week, research paper, some other things, death, angst, love, hate, anger, mental exhaustion, damn prom, shopping, draw, paint, Sonic Adventure 2, Kansas, mental exhaustion, draw, sleep, lack of sleep...

and the list goes on, but those are the major points.

There was an anime meeting. It was fun, but Val and Jessie weren't there. That made things feel a little out of place... but I think it was for his own good that he didn't come. We watched my brother's Lain DVDs. Well, one of them.... Lain is pretty cool. Then we watched Spirited away.. and I suppose you can just find out all this information on the web site.

Fuckers.

Yes... I haven't put up any fashion related pictures up here for a long time. I'm bad.. I’ll do that some time.. when I have it. Time, that is.

Things with Dan are awkward. My brother is very weary of the situation… which is good for me, I think. And understandable for him as well.. I think he has had a not-so-great time with ... yeah.

Anyhow, I realize I rushed things, I was stupid and shit. But things seem to be going alright so I won't say anything... But I think Dan is impatient.

This bothers me.

He'll probably read this.

Yeah....

Today's Fashion: Copacabana
Friday, April 11, 2003 12:15 p.m.

Aaah yes, it looks as though America is striking back. And no, I'm not talking about the war, or any of that crap, I'm talking about the comic industry. These past few weeks, Ursa and I have discovered that quite a lot of new material is going to be/ is being produced by Marvel Comics. One of them, Runaways, looks especially promising with it's original character design and story, and funky art.

But the best thing we've discovered is the fact that the industry is starting to smarten up but combining one of America’s best characters with one of Japan’s best artist. Wolverine, and Tsutomu Nihei. For those of you who don't know, Tsutomu Nihei is the artist/author of the ultra-violent, ultra-amazing manga, Blame!. (as well as Noise, the prequel to Blame!) His art is dark and creepy, but in very calm and smooth sort of way. He also has amazing detail and character desigh. And Wolverine? you would be a disgrace to not know who he was! (lol) but in any case, we are hyped up.

In other news, i attended the play Copacabana last night. Go Val! Go Jessie! Go Casey! *dances* It was great, full of dancing and music and such. (("music and passion we always the fashion at the copa, copacabana~")) I also ran into Tom on the way in..

"hm, I wonder if Tom is going to be here..."

"POF!" *tom appears in the door way of the school*

"wow!"

Hehehe... much of Noname showed up, as well....

And I must say : "Mmmmm... 311..... yummy! >:D"

Today's Fashion: Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
Saturday, March 22, 2003 02:37 p.m.

War is not the answer for everything, but not everything can be resolved peacefully. Especially with a maniac dictator like Hussein.

So, I haven't been paying any attention to all this crap. I haven't watched any tv, or listened to the radio or anything.. Just picked up stuff from people and pictures in the news paper. I know, it's pathetic, but I don't care. I've been pre-occupied with random every day crap. It's always the same, but always different. It's not great, but war is something i can't change, so i don't generally care about it. Except, of course, for my own pathetic safety and the welfare of this country.. but who doesn't? It's the only reason why apathetic bitches like me pay attention to the fact that a war is actually going on. +_+ anyhow.. My brother came home yesterday night.. right before Dan showed up..

it's crazy. Rather.

I want to go to Toronto on the 29th.. for the Toronto Comic Arts festival thing.. I think my brother is going.. with Becky and a bunch of other artsy friends of his that I kind of know.... Jealousy. That's all. And I still need to think up a comic.. Damnit.

Today's Fashion: Yazawa love.
Wednesday, March 19, 2003 12:25 p.m.

Okay, so, so much stuff has happened in just a few days @_@. It's rather amazing... Yesterday morning I went into the kitchen and flipped open the newspaper: Children Of Dune Sunday @ 9. Me: "NOOOOOOOO!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!" I had forgotten to tape it. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

So I might have to go out and buy the book... *cry* it looked so cool..

After getting over the initial shock of that I noticed that there were two styrofoam boxes on the table. After opening one up i found out that they were pieces of cake. "Ooh, cake for breakfast ^^" (Don't ever do this. It makes you very very sick. @_@;) Then it was like "wait, what is with the saranwrap? And styrofoam? Did they buy us cake from a cafeteria?!??? Where the hell would they find something like that???" Apparently when they drove my grandmother back to her nursing home she insisted on them bringing back some cake.

Was good cake, though.

Sad thing.. we were going to go eat at Duclaw that night, but they didn't have enough servers.. @_@;; So we thought to go somewhere else, and when we got there the parking lot was all full.. and such... "why is everyone out tonight?!" And then I remembered it was beer day. Yes, that glorious excuse of a holiday where every one and his do goes out drinking... that day, is my birthday. *cry*

We rented Edward Scissor Hands.. it was emo. I loved it.

And Dan has rather amazing timing. But .. it's all good. ^_^ *dances*

Today's Fashion: I can DREAM
Saturday, March 8, 2003 06:13 p.m.

Maybe it's a sign that I'm actually getting some sleep?? I don't know, but it's nice.. A lot of flying dreams, a long with some other weird ones... But life is decent, maybe..

I'm working on a picture for a contest that ends in about a week, I thought I'd color it with prisma colors but they fecked it up! Aaaaa~~ and Val uses them all the time.. i don't get it.. Guess I'll have to fix it on the computer. *sigh* Sad thing is, I'm more worried about getting this picture done than the fact that it ends on my birthday.. Geh. I also have to do a research paper, which is a pain. Really really..Lots of things are running through my head right now.. I'm actually seriously considering not going to college.. honestly, I don't know how much more of this school thing I can take.. I just want to get a job at a book store or something, and then spend all my free time drawing comics...

but who am I kidding? I'll probably end up gong to the community college for two years and then.. doing something.. peh.. always wanted to go to the NY Institute of Art, but I don't know..

Today's Fashion: mmmm.... manga.
Friday, February 28, 2003 09:23 p.m.

....... Paradise Kiss vol. 2 is yummy. MMmmmmm... mmuahahahaha!! Being sick has it's good points, especially when you know people like Dan. ^^ This month has proven rich with fashion! A Gothic&Lolita Bible and a ParaKiss vol.! This moment of joy brought to you by CO. SCRUGGS. Where our service is dependable, helpful, and uber, uber nice.

Apparently Co. SCRUGGS wastes no time in calling you and notifying you of when they are coming over. but this poses to be a slight problem only when you are hiding from people in your basement in your pink and penguin-printed night pants because you were to out of it to change into proper cloths that morning... ............ yeah.... .. . ..

So anyhow (!) I am, feeling better today(after a week and a half.. about time.. +_+)) and can actually write! (*gasp*) Ah yes, not only that, but I also found scanlations for the most beautiful ((and hard to find... even in a certain Japanese book store in New York...)) manga that I've ever looked for,, Alichino! Check it out. +_+ Now. Heard about this manga a while ago when I was running around on the net, but was never able to find the manga... now I have the manga and the translations. ^^ And their editing is really really good, to. It's rather amazing.

Well, there were other things I was going to talk about, like the Edward Gorey book I got the other day... and maybe some thoughts on the new layout... but not tonight. I've got some movies to watch. ;E

Today's Fashion: MOOP. I feel like shit.
Saturday, February 22, 2003 01:58 p.m.

I haven't been posting much for the past four or five days, and I do apologize, but I have come down with the fever and it's a little hard to type when you're sick.... Currently, the fever is gone, and I have moved on to the coughing stage of sickness. Which, really, is a pain in the ass. Last night I don't think I slept for more than forty min. at a time and I had to get up about every hour to walk around and clear my throat... PEH. So I gave up sleeping. PEH. I want to vomit... x_x yesterday I came back from funeral and felt like shit! Now.. I feel it again... I want to die!! >_< It's probably because I don't eat.. or sleep.. shit...

In other news, I bought some lace the other day! It was in the clearance section.. for 9$.. but the 9$ didn't show up so she only charged me 4$! Isn't that awesome?!!? It's not a lot.. but I will definitely have to use it on something.. thing is, i don't know what.. Gothic? Or lolita?? It's really thick lace.. so I'm thinking gothic.. I'm also thinking about changing the layout.. but I'll have to think about it more. x_x

I'll also have to go and think more about hanging myself right now...

LOL!!!!

Today's Fashion: Disappointing Fun
Sunday, February 16, 2003 06:14 p.m.

Went to Katsucon! It was really nerve-racking to get there though.. It was snowing when I woke up and I though I wouldn't be able to go.. But it stopped! (yatta!) So we picked up Scruggs and went on our way~~

The convention itself was not as good as last year. The anime costumes we saw were awful (though I did catch a group of Prince of Tennis kids...) the game room SUCKED, and there wasn't really any good anime to watch... not to mention the 45 min. of the cosplays we were able to "see" SUCKED. And I put the ""s in 'cause we're all kind of Short (Shin is the shortest, Ursa is middle, and Scruggs is the tallest... but still what he would call short) and we were in the back of the room. @_@_@ PEH. Aside from that, though, it was pretty fun. ^^;;;

The AMVs were probably the best things we saw... well, they were only the one's that had won awards and stuff, but those are the best, right? And I got to say 'oi' to Becky and pick up her new Jenny One GN (at half price!) and a print (for free! She's so good to me... lol.) I wanted to see Dual Jewel play, but we didn't... u_u ah well.. The sad thing is though, the anime costumes sucked, but the Jrock ones.. well.. ROCKED. I met up with a Toshiya in the bathroom and was blown awa~ay! And the Gothic & Lolita kids were good, too!

Which brings us to the Dealers' Room where I bought another Gothic&Lolita Bible (vol.4) for.. 22$! GEH. 4$ more than the red Bible I have but it comes with stickers! As well as a lot more material.. *dances* Also picked up a Kyo poster for only 10$ (I luffs you house of Jrock/pop) And Scruggs got the Child Prey single CD. (I would've gotten the Six ugly CD but it was a ghastly 30$ @_@) Hmm... I also got a Jrock CD by an I.C. Entertainment artist. Band is called Psydoll and it's is considerably kick ass. Then Ursa and I went in and bought our foxy friend a Kogapan toy. ^^

So for Otakon Ursa and I have decided to go in somewhat Gothic&Lolita style ! I'm started drawing my out fit today and as soon as she finishes my Nana costume, Ursa's going to get working on it.. *dances*

Also, now, the snow is coming down like rain and they have announced a snow emergency. LOL!

Today's Fashion: Life is fucked up
Thursday, February 13, 2003 05:33 p.m.

I don't think people realize how much potential life actually has to be fucked up. I mean, lately I've been having doubts and all... sure it's been angsty, but nothing truly fucked up happened... And that's what's the most fucked up thing about life: you think everything is going decent and then something fucked up happens. It's fucked up, man! But yeah... my best friend's brother just died last night. I mean, that's pretty fucked up, right? I think he might've died a kind of Hide death last night... (umm, okay.. maybe you don't know who Hide is.. fuck you!)) Fuck, I can't post up what I wrote about this. It's just like... life's fucked up, i guess.

Che. Shouldn’t I write something less angsty now, so you’ll forget about what I just wrote? Yeah.. then you wouldn’t feel bad and I wouldn’t have to explain everything.... Yeah, okay. Here’s a not-so typical Shin screw up... Mom’s making meatloaf, right? So it’s my night to help out and stuff... she puts tomato sauce in one bowl and tells me to crack an egg into another bowl. Only she says "crack an egg into this bowl" instead of "crack an egg into this other bowl here" so I put the fucker into the bowl with the tomato sauce and my mom is just staring at me like she can’t believe what a dumb shit I am... No man will ever fall in love with me... +_+

Today's Fashion: There IS no fear, it's the time that's the problem!
Tuesday, February 11, 2003 09:27 p.m.

My tennis teacher is always like no fear! no fear, go after that ball!" and stuff. It's really that I just don't get there in time.. grrr... ah well, I think I did okay today. Two of the girls were screwing around though, it was kind of annoying because we had to do some extra stupid exercises because of them... at least they liked my serve. *dances* Everyone hates practicing serve.. they're all pathetic. Muuahaha.... Anyhow, the Ryoma kid accidentally hit this other kid.. (I think his name is Shawn, he's good at tennis, too)) When practicing serve, always make sure there's no one behind you! He had to go get ice and stuff... so when he came back I did a Tom move on him and asked if he was OK. "yep" *walks away*

lol.. anyhow...

GEH. So i couldn't go to this Cabaret thing that Val's highschool was putting on tonight. "too much stuff going on this week!" That's what she said... grrr.. I angst. i feel as though I am letting the drama club down. >_< But I did take this time to scan in pictures and write here. I should probably scan in some cloth pictures, too... Also, Jeremy gave me this CD at the meeting. (which was exciting chaos) It's basically a mix of songs.. two Do As Infinity songs which are cool and the others are just some 80s hair bands like Black Sabbath and Twisted Sister (the kind of stuff he likes) OH! That Twisted Sister song I luff! ^^ you know you know: "we're no gonna take it, NO we ant' gonna take it, we're not gonna take it.. any mooorrree!!"

I love it....

Today's Fashion: I want to DANCE today.
Friday, February 7, 2003 07:17 p.m.

New mottos: "cutting is a no mutilation is a go!" and : "self-hate and apathy come hand in hand"

So I wrote a lot down this week, but I haven't felt much like posting it all up. It's mostly just descriptions of boring days and some angsting but nothing too cool. @_@;; It's snowing again today. AGAIN! I kind of though it would be over sometimes... ah well. x_x;;; I'm not complaining though..

I saw something on the style channel that I though was really cool. ^^; so I've decided to make a sort of fairy-tail collection of cloths using the idea I saw. I haven't been doing much in terms of drawing style, so it's about time! ^^ Esp. nice since it's "fashion week" but I don't really know what that is.. O_@;; ah well, I don't really feel like inking the pictures so i'll probably just scan them in as pencil. (not today though, to much work to do! ))

lately I've been overdosing on school and comic work. It's okay, though, 'cause I've been able to actually get something of a comic done in the past week. I think Ursa scanned in two of the pictures last night.. I'll have to go check...

also, I was hoping to scan in a diagram today that depicts yet another partial birth abortion. This one they actually tear the baby out piece by piece. ((in the picture they pull out the right leg first, then the right arm, left leg, left arm, then head)) I think for some reason people forget that they could feel when they were babies. But what I want to know is whether or not the doctors can hear it scream.

Today's Fashion: ... self hate is not modivation enough
Wednesday, January 29, 2003 12:09 p.m.

1.28.03 ((the real date of when this was written))

I guess it's been a while since I wrote here. Maybe I'm busy or unmotivated or something. Don't matter, I suppose only a handful of people actually read this. I was thinking of writing about abortion or something... Went to the March for Life thing in DC about a week ago. For those that don't know, it's an anti-abortion walk from Constitution av. to the Supreme Court... Abortion's pretty sick if you think about (well, aside from it being murder and all that..)) Esp. the partial birth abortion where they basically pull the baby out an' ram scissors into its head. Pretty unacceptable in today's society. Women have died from it, (*cough* and.. babies...)) women have been hurt by it, physically and mentally... I guess people won't be happy if we just abolish it, but a lot of times they just do it without exactly knowing what they’re doing. I suppose people are either ignorant or lied to.

On a slightly lighter note, I have been grounded from any use of the computer except for school. *cough* *cough* ummm... "lighter." So basically they are letting me write but I can't really put it up yet, so that's why the pitas date at the top is different from the one that I put in the entry. It's kind of really (really fucking goddamned frustratingly sick pain in the mother fucking ass) inconvenient for me on account of the fact that I can't really talk to a lot of my friends (I dislike phone and don't quite have the time nor motivation to have a decent conversation on it...and it's late... and I don't want my friends to think less of me by pouring my petty problems on them((because they would if I did because I am so unreasonably petty. Though they will say that they won't think less of me because they really are really good friends, but deep in their sub consciousness they will think I am making a really unnecessarily big deal about this uber petty problem so they sort of will think less of me. Because that's what people do. Of course, these people are really good people so they won't say it and try lead me to believe otherwise. Kudos to you kids.))... and shit like that.)) plus I can't check my e-mail, forums, and sites.. stuff like that I guess. Plus they don't exactly know when they're going to let me on again.... To Hell with this, I suppose I won't be able to go to Katsucon if I fuck up like this again... ((she thought rather morbidly)) I hate this... I suppose it's not quite the fact that I can't be on the comp but the reason why... che. Like they expect me to be perfect. ((I’m not Ursa, ya fuckin' know..... ....sorry Ursa bear x_x) The more I think about it the more I think of how unreasonably stupid I am. It makes me sick... I could angst about it all night, but slitting my wrists would only unveil, to a small part of the world, how utterly pathetic I am. *puts on some Rammstein*

So what else was I going to write about.... Ah well, I went to tennis tonight and completed my life goal.( tennis life goal, that is)) by some freak stroke of luck I was actually able to beat the living embodiment of Echizen Ryoma. (I have no idea if I am spelling correctly that since I can't look it up from the Dled manga 'cause I'm using a freaken' laptop right now... )) Well, it was actually no freak luck! It was skill! And some slightly freaky luck.... I probably won't ever be able to do it again... heh, but still.

After tennis we went to Barns&Noble to get a motorcycle magazine for Ursa. I was checking out the manga Mars which is actually pretty interesting.. I think I'll probably get that or an Edward Gory book... damn.. they’re both only about 10$... I am torn.

So I am taking up too much space for just one entry as of now. If you made it this far I applaud you for putting up with my petty teenage angst. *clap* *clap* *clap*

Today's Fashion: where is that song.?
Monday, January 20, 2003 05:19 p.m.

"I close my eyes and I keep seein' things; rainbow waterfalls, sunny liquid dreams... confusion creeps inside me raining down, got to get to you, but I don't know how... " Love that song. *nod* Thanks Val. *nod* *nod* anyhow...
I have not written in here for so long! >_< bad.. bad Shin. I guess I've been just busy, or haven't had anything to write about at all...? Don't know, but all's not so bad. Except for one thing.
Every time (today) that I put food in my mouth, I start to feel sick. I mean, normally I feel ill after eating, but today it's just BAD. I don't know what it is! >_< Ugh, but I feel like throwing up now...
anyhow, i guess I didn't write about the last Noname Anime Club meeting??? well, we watched X and Ursa's Excell Saga fansub. It went well! ^^ Dan was happy, I gave him a burned Dir en Grey CD which he seems to like A LOT, as well as the wallscroll. and I scored the I"s manga from him! ^^... x_x... of course... I lost it... I could kill myself! argh.. I can't believe i did that though.. I mean, it was in my room and then.. x_x argh! *SOB*
ah well, he said he'd give it to me again.... so I figured I would burn him the Luna Sea CD I have. heheheh.. Luna Sea...damn it, bought their CD at Otakon 2000..... the year they broke up! >_< *sob* ah well.. x_x I also got an Excell Saga poster at the meeting.. I need to put it up. I'm thinking of giving away this sort of sluty Ryoko poster I have... (I think I might've gotten it at Otakon 2000, too... it was the only good one in the stack!))
So I've been penciling out all these little comics that have no plot and nothing to do with any of my current projects! >_< one's on this tiny piece of water color paper and I might do a little set of the same characters and stuff.. but it's really just pointless. then there's one I'm doing on normal paper that I might expand on, but i don't know... I already have a lot of other comics I need to do.. x_x garrr..... *vomits* yes, I'm still sick...
Went to the mall yester day. Had to wait out side for my ride to come for about 30 min.
Me: "Let's go inside and watch the DDR players!"
La Crazy Friend: "but I like the cold, we must stay out here! >:E" anyhow, after that Friend Jay and his Small Brother came over to watch Kare Kano and Noir... that was pretty fun. he showed me some Do As Infinity sites, hopefully I can remember to DL some more of their songs later.... *more vomiting and then flys away*

Today's Fashion: Calling Rants and Raves.. for lack of a better name
Saturday, January 11, 2003 12:18 p.m.

Hmmm.... Val got me hooked on to the style channel again...been watching the runway.. ^^;;;Marc Jacobs's fall collection is pretty nifty, I love the way he's layered the cloths. I don't care much for the pheasant look, but I liked the way he put it all together. So it's pheasant, but in a cool, detailed sort of way. *gives thumbs up* ^_^ They also showed some DKNY stuff that I thought was awesome. Very elegant street stylish.. the kind of stuff I kill for. Nice furry coats, lacy, layered skirts, simply decorated shirts... and all the sort of drab colors that I love...so go DKNY! ^^ I really should buy another Vogue magazine... or a Gothic X Lolita.. soon. Maybe if la family goes up to NY next month I'll grab one. Garrr... Ursa drew a scarf that i think I'm going to make in art class or something.. haven't scanned it in yet, though, So I don't have a picture. I need to do some more style drawing.. all I've been doing is working on comics and stuff.. it really is no good. ....

Today's Fashion: FILTH. Every time i hear it I die a little death.

I guess I forgot to write about it, but I also went to a bit of a 'dance' a few days ago. I think Ursa and I were the only people actually dancing. Everyone there probably thought we were freaks ('cause we also did a bit of dressing up compared to everyone else) but it was still fun. Except for the annoying fact that no one danced! Grrr! Anger! Angst! I also noticed another annoying fact, well, Urs was the one who pointed it out, but American fashion sucks!! I finally realized why, too. It's so plain. There's almost not detail. I obsess over that, I can't live without it. Simple can be good, right now I'm wearing something pretty simple, but excessive simple? I think not. ((plus I don't plan to be going anywhere tonight..^^))I think that's why I like lace so much, too. The detail and how it can add elegance to the outfit... any outfit. :D *nod* *nod*

Actually, people actually danced... to the One Piece Character Song CD!! Uuuahahaha~!

Today's Fashion: East and West art, and lovely friends
Monday, January 6, 2003 03:20 p.m.

Yesterday was interesting. It snowed.. again. I swear, God must be cleaning out his house or something. It just keeps coming and then stopping and then coming again... O_O enough to drive a man crazy.

Anyhow, we went to eat lunch with someone's friend at a museum. Visionary Art Museum or something, i can't remember, but I must go back. Most of the art was a tad Mexican style, which I don't particularly like... Though it does have this particularly cool dark effect to it. (you know, like the lovely excessive skeletons) A lot of the art was anti-drug/addiction, which is something you don't see every day. Sure, there are the billboards and stuff "Smoking Stops Here" and stuff, but it's nothing like the collection I saw. Well, i didn't get to see a lot, we were only there for lunch, but what I did see was creepy, inspirational, and, in short, awesome. ^_^ There was one piece i thought was really neat. It was almost to the point of being Gothic Lolita, but still had that Mexican creepyness to it. I think it said something like Blood and Milk...

Another thing.. someone was selling the Kyo Batsu tie on ebay last night.. I almost died. x_x Okay, so i didn't get it.. i only had 30$ to spend on it (it went up to something like 41$ and shipping was a sick 5$) but still...next time I'll have money.. a lot ^^ or I'll kill someone... Dan was quite nice, though. He offered to buy it for me but it turns out that he couldn't get an account... it was still nice,though. I mean, a Batsu tie (that I don't think they even make anymore..) like that is not something you just give to someone. *hugs Dan* Ai ai! (yeah, i know you're reading this!) So since I'm a tad bummed out and today is the first full day back in school (and I was up at five o' clock to see how the auction turned out) I figure I might buy a Fools Mate magazine that everyone seems to be selling today. It's a tad cheaper than the tie, if you know what I mean.^^;;;

Sewing machine might get fixed today, and I'm thinking of making a big, weird, piece of art that has to do with obsessing over time. I broke my watch in a fit of rage a few nights ago and I've been going crazy since... I'll probably use it for the picture though... was a damn nice watch... damn nice...

Today's Fashion: Sick shojo and random minds.. originality , too?
Tuesday, December 31, 2002 06:04 p.m.

My head hurts.. I believe it was from the four and a half hours of anime last night. I went to another of my friend Val's Anime Club Meetings last night... watched two eps. of the Kare Kano DVD I got for Xmas along with some White Cross, Fushigi Yugi omakes and Utena the movie. Which made me sick... Utena, that is. But it was very original, and after I though about it (in bed and feeling better) I believe it was very cool. Shojo, and shojo ai, but cool. I also got to give Dan his "wallscroll thing" that I made for him.. I think he liked it.... which is good considering the work that went into it... ^^;;; anyhow, the night was fun. ^_ I've also re-drawn the shirt picture! It'll be made of red pinstripe and black lace. Unfortunately, the sewing machine is broke so I can neither sew the shirt, or hem Dan's "wallscroll thing."... yet.

Today's Fashion: Days of coffee and candy
Sunday, December 29, 2002 01:56 p.m.

Well, the blog is finally up! thanks to Ursa, who's HTML I was able to steal. :D Pish, I'm really tired right now, even thought it's only like, two O' clock.... spent the morning trying to wake up/sing in church today.. O__O;;; In terms of fashion?.. I'm going to re-draw the picture of the shirt I'm working on sometime this weekend, maybe by Tuesday or something. The one I have right now is awfully sketchy... it will be awfully pinstripey and lacey though.. :D fun times...
