Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Good News + Bad News

Journal Entry: Sat Aug 13, 2011, 10:58 PM

_{Hello everyone and thanks for reading! I'm still in "vacation mode" ever since my family and I returned from Florida. I miss my family already since they were so fun to talk to and such. |D

This week passed like lightning; I can't believe we're almost in the middle of frickin' August and so close to September. OAO ^{I don't want time to go too fast - I wanna enjoy the little inklings of my summer I have left. Dx}

But, anyway, I would like to share some good news and bad news that I've received during this past week. I'll start with the bad news...

BAD NEWS

Lately, my sister has been depressed and such for several reasons but she doesn't tell me most of the reasons; on top of that, she doesn't have the motivation to do anything and just a few days ago, she suffered from a stomachache which only made it worse for her.

I had the same problem in the earlier part of the years but I don't know how I was able to get out of it. So, I don't really know how to help her with her depression. My friend *Hieislittlekitsune is suffering from something similar. Would someone be nice enough to give some advice or even a little comfort? That would be greatly appreciated. :3

As well as other bad news... My friend =meggtoeee is holding a contest and has opened a new RP group for artists. If anyone would be willing to join one or both of them, shoot her a note or a comment on her page.

GOOD NEWS

I got into college and I'm registered for classes!

Finally! After all that work and all those obstacles, I'll finally be going to school again. No more boredom and sitting around doing absolutely nothing! However, I will definitely miss the freedom to lay around the house and do nothing. I do hope that I'll have time to update and such. :3

The college I'm going to is a technical college so I plan to transfer to a four-year university in, hopefully, at least a year or two. It has a nursing program, which I'm thankful for, but it's going to be a lot of work since I have to maintain a high GPA to get into the program. *prays for success*

Commissions and trades are still closed since I have one more one-shot to finish. For my oh-so wonderful mentor ~StrawberryMerry. I love her so much so I hope the fanfic comes out well. But I hope to open commissions and trades soon! Fear not, lovely fans!

Commissions and trades are open now! Feel free to swamp me with orders! 8D

People to Commission [if they're open]

- - 50 for a one-shot

- - 160 for a colored chibi

- - 180 for a half-body, fully colored picture

Total: 390

Well, that's all for now. Thanks again for reading and have a great day/night!

- Yumi-chan, the college-bound one~

2 Hearts, One Love - Ch. 7
Chapter 7

While the maids continued to try to comfort you, a guard walked into the room. "[Villain 1's Name]-sama wishes to see you, [Your Name]-hime."

The maid with (Put first lady's hair color here.) hair asked, "Do you wish for us to accompany you, [Your Name]-hime?"

"No, I'll be fine," you replied quietly. You got out of bed and went to your closet to get dressed, picking out a emerald green kimono adorned with white and orange flowers.

Once finished, you followed the guard to the throne room. [Villain 1's Name] sat on his throne while [Villain 2's Name] stood beside him, smirking.

Spiders"Fear is the lengthened shadow of ignorance." - Unknown

Loud flurries of screams echoed through the house, startling Yusuke and Kurama. Hurrying from their rooms, they rushed into the kitchen, where their friend Alexa, also known as Lexi, was standing on a chair and shaking tremendously.

"Alexa, what's wrong?" Kurama asked, worried that she might have hurt herself.

The teary-eyed, dark-skinned girl shook on her chair as she pointed a finger to the right. Following her finger, the redhead and Yusuke noticed a brown spider standing in the corner.

Yusuke and Kurama were quiet and stared back at the megane.

"A spider?"

Lexi nodded, comedic

"What the...? Who the bloody hell...?"

A begrudging England awoke from his supposedly relaxing nap when he heard the sounds of yapping, followed by a series of rapid knocking, just outside his front door. He grumbled to himself as he trudged to the door.

When he opened the door, he muttered out an angry "What do you want?". In front of him was his little brother America...with a new pet. A poodle, to be exact. And it was especially fluffy.

"...Question. What is that...?"

It seemed like a normal autumn night in the Wammy House. Two of the Wammy housemates, L and Sakura, sat inside eating some bakery-bought fruit tarts.

Sakura had searched for every opportunity to be alone with L; like any other girl, she had a crush on him but he didn't seem to notice. He was too busy hunting down the criminal Kira to even pay attention.

The black-haired detective sat in his chair, quietly munching one of the cherry tarts on his plate. He looked up at Sakura who stared at him dreamily and blinked indifferently.
PC: A Killer's Heart - Part 2"True intimacy with another human being can only be experienced when you have found true peace within yourself." – Angela L. Wozniak

Sakura was thrown to the floor of a frigid, damp, pitch-dark room. She opened her eyes slowly, hearing the killer's repeated fit of laughter.

"I will be successful at last..." he whispered crazily, laughing again to himself. "Today is the day that L will surrender to me! And I'll kill him...!"

His red eyes were lit with psychotic ecstasy. Turning his gaze to the struggling Sakura, he could see her full name as well as her death date above her head. Again, he chuckled when he saw her glare at him.

The story behind my little sister June's first love is one of my favorites to hear. It's like watching an old kiddie romance movie - the memory is still fresh in my head...

It started back when we were walking home from school - she was in the sixth grade while I was a sophomore in high school. When I came to pick her up that day, she looked more drained than ever. Assuming she was tired, I merely waved as I ran over to greet her.

"Hey, June! How was school?"

"Crappy."

I frowned. "Why do you say
Color My World - Part 2"It was beginning with you that I said yes to the world." – Paul Èluard

The day of Yukito's visit came by rather quickly. June was more nervous than I had ever expected her to be. When we arrived at the airport that Friday morning, she was shaking in her shoes.

"June? Are you sure you'll be okay?" I asked for what seemed like the umpteenth time. "You look a little pale."

She shook her head again, sighing deeply at my constant questioning. "Really, Sis. I said I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Thinking it would be best to stop asking, I changed the subject. I turned my brown eyes to the crowd and asked, "So…what does he look

A One-sided Affection"True love is when you shed a tear and still want him." - Unknown

It was a bright summer afternoon by the sea where the mermaids would gather together...but they were all underwater, enjoying their lives and swimming. One mermaid, Akina, played by herself.

She swam through the sapphire-colored sea as she collected seashells and played with the dolphins. Her life was alright, just as normal as the other mermaids...except for one thing. She couldn't speak. That was one thing Akina could, and would, never do. She wanted to sing and talk about the world around her, but her disability took that dream of hers, so she decided to just be content.

As Long as You Want"A woman would run through fire and water for such a kind heart." – William Shakespeare

A bright, white-golden light almost blinded 16 year-old Yuri. Squinting her wide brown eyes, she smiled as they gradually adjusted to the sun's light.

Surrounding her was a large forest full of colorful flowers and other signs of life. Yuri giggled to herself and knelt down to embrace them. The bright petals tickled her cheeks as if welcoming her with open arms.

"I could stay like this all day," Yuri whispered, holding some of the loose flowers to her bosom.

Being a demon her entire life, she had been engulfed in nothing but darkness and sorrow. S

"Hurry, Ulquiorra! We'll be late!"

Orihime called her husband from the living room as she tapped her foot. She was impatiently waited for him to finish dressing. Their son Sora stood by his mother's side, holding her hand as he blinked silently.

"Mama, will the beach people not let us if we're late?" he asked as his silver eyes stared up at the ginger-haired woman.

She smiled and patted his head sweetly. "No, not at all! You don't need to worry about a thing, Sora!"

The small boy nodded as he giggled. When he saw his father walk out of the master bedroom, he

Congrats on getting into a college! I'm really excited for you; technical colleges are really useful for getting the feel of the experience without diving right into a university. I know a lot of people who take giant steps forward and end up paying the price for it, such as getting kicked out for low scores, getting too lazy to do their schoolwork, not having enough money to pay for dorms and meal plans, etc.

School starts for me in about a week. I'm a little excited since it's a new semester but annoyed because I would much rather have all this free time to play vidya gaemz. xD Hopefully soon I'll be able to apply online to the university I've finally chosen, since I tried the other day but they were only taking in the fall and spring semester (whereas I'll be attending fall of next year). It's a sure thing I'll be getting into it but I'd like to get the paperwork out of the way.

I'm sorry about your sister and I hope she gets through this rough patch. I wish you luck in trying to cheer her up and maybe get to the root of her problems!

=Yumiko12345 Aug 15, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

_{Thanks a lot, Moni-chan! I'm more than appreciative of your support throughout this entire obstacle!

You're right about that; I feel a bit bad for not realizing that until now. At first, I just wanted to go to a college because I didn't think a tech college would suit my needs. But now, I think it will help me get what I need in a short amount of time. :3 I bet if I went to an actual university, I'd probably be unable to pay the tuition and have to drop out.

Cool! School starts in a week for me, too! I'll miss the free time but I need something to do besides hang out at home. I don't want to get a job without some kind of studying. xD I hope we both are able to apply to the universities of our choices in the future. Right now, I'm just hoping I can get all the classes I need to transfer to that university. |D

Thank you again! I hope she gets better soon. :3}

*Sky-Rose-of-the-Moon Aug 14, 2011

Sorry bout your sis. Take care and have fun in college.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister. ; A; I'm sure you thought of this already but maybe trying to make her smile will help. If I ever get sad and someone says something that makes me laugh or smile I feel a little bit better

And yay for getting into college!

YAY!
Have a great day/night too!

=Yumiko12345 Aug 14, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

_{I have and it helped just now. Thank you for your input! :3

And thanks! I'm glad I got in~}

~xShyViolet Aug 14, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

No problem! I'm glad I was able to help! Have fun at college!
