Could this really be a dream come true?

My god, I can't believe it.



I actually finished it!

50,000 words in one month! And an original none the less! This is my... actually I don't know what it is, I just can't believe that I was actually able to accomplish something like this.

But truth is, my original isn't even close to being done. My characters are still on their way to find true love and the horizon is still a bit more than far for me. But will I lose my concentration and abandon it until X-mas, I will try not to.

But for now, I will celebrate my month long of writing.

This is blood and sweat, man!

RIP K Jr.

For the past three days, I have been dissecting a fetal pig, or as my group named it: K Jr. (In place of my real name, I shall have a K D:) But either way it is the same feeling and I am forced to dissect a son I never knew I had. DX

Highlights of Day 1: We have identified it as a male! Made my first ever incision on a fetal pig (not yet named to K Jr. till end of period.)

Highlights of Day 2: I got to unravel K Jr.'s intestines!~ In total, it was 258cm (shock face!)

Highlights of Day 3: I got to take out K Jr.'s mushy excuse of a brain... and I cut off a leg and an ear... D: (I am scared I will have a nightmare of K Jr. coming after a leg or two of mine's...)

None the less, K Jr. died for an educational reason, so Rest in Peace (son?) XD

Birds and the Bees should rot with Mr. B

Ranting for Mr. B:

ARGH! How can you give us another name of the exact same defect and assume we know that is what is on the test! How do I know that pulmonary endema and pulmonary embolism was the same thing when I know that embolism was a completely different problem with the heart?! ARGH! You son of a @$#!%$!!! Tell us the words that you are going to use on the flipping test and maybe I could have a chance to do it right!

I am pissed.

30g



Title: LivingStone (リヴィングストン/ 魂石)

By: Maekawa Tomohiro (original) & Kataoka Jinsei (art)

Status: Chapter 1-5, ongoing but no sign of a new chapter as of now.

Summary: Dr. Duncan MacDonald, an American doctor during the beginning of the 20th century, conducted a series of experiments. Among it was one where he placed a dying man on a scale and at the time that he stopped breathing, the scale had lightened by 30g. This came to be the weight of a human soul, or the LivingStone.

Modern days, two men, Sakurai (business man look-alike) and his partner, Amano (blonde brat), work to collect these 'LivingStones' from people who try to kill themselves before their intended time.

Commentary: The plot may take a bit of reading to understand but the art is amazing. The characters are quite contrasting in nature, but that only makes them compliment each other so much more. It is thoroughly interesting and I hope neither of these artists abandon this series! D":

Promo: I even wrote a fanfic for it when I really should focus on my NaNoWriMo D: It Doesn't Take a Soul to Know

Muscles, Organs, Bones

Biology, quite a fun course if you looked past all those annoying memorization of enzymes and chemical changes (that should seriously be in chemistry and not in bio! D:<) And so for it, I went to BODY WORLDS & The Story of the Heart today as a field trip!~

I went to the previous Body World exhibit here in 2005 and in comparison, the 2005 one was way better in my opinion. Perhaps it was the open space so it made it seem as though there were so much more XD But my favorite of them all in the exhibit that I visited today had to be the giraffe!

It was in slices!! V

It is a little hard to describe it but you can consider a giraffe standing upright, now make horizontal slices across the giraffe and then stretch them out. And then ta-ta! you get a sliced giraffe that looked so cool ;)

Rotten Sweet



As I promised, here is a photo of my Halloween stash that has dwindled to a small bag of miscellaneous candies that no one wants to eat D: As of right now, I am eating a lollipop just as I am typing this too... XD I am just hoping my mom wouldn't schedule a dentist appointment anytime soon... otherwise the doctor would have a fit and then drill all my teeth out DD:

Better Make It Good



November 2nd, DGM is back.

No Rabi but a lot of Kanda. (Man did Hoshino remind me how good he looks wiht his hair down~~)

I am sort of surprised how quick Hoshino has advanced this, now almost 99% of Kanda's past is revealed. (or at least I don't think Hoshino is going to add anymore crap to this DD:) I think it is quite alright, I mean it made a lot more sense than the previous chapters about the illusions of flowers and all that jazz (I don't handle symbols well XD)

But man... his childhood friend is not good looking at all. Alma, as cute as the name gets, it is a shame that he just can't compare to Kanda, heck not even Allen DDD:

Now I just hope my DGM's excitement will come back XDD
