Sorry to all my watchers, I haven't really felt like I've been drawing for myself lately. My sarcastic mother has been pulling my strings lately and I haven't really felt like drawing so much. So I'm asking for your advice. How can I start drawing for myself again and not draw to prove to my mother that I can do this for a living, because I recognize the fact that I'm not drawing because the reasons behind it aren't the same as it was since beginning high school. How can I just draw without worrying about what my mom thinks of my art and start listening to what I fell in love with my art?

I need new music, as I am stuck into a state of repeated songs. Any type of music is encouraged. New bands too.

YATTA!

What is about the Japanese culture that makes it so enticing and addictive? What is it about the manga and anime that makes them so beautiful? What is it about their music that makes you feel a certain way?

All I know is that all the dedication and hard work that the Japanese put into their endevors
makes me love the Japanese culture so much. For instance, for the past couple days I have been listening to Japanese music nonstop. But I can't seem to change back to American music. The Japanese obviously hold creativity/performing arts as an important value/talent.

And then when I hear people talk badly about the Japanese culture, such as hentai, I just want to hit them! Yes, the Japanese may have some "flaws" but if you have to credit them for coming out with technology. The Japanese people make most of, if not all, the technology in the world. And also when I hear some ignorant people say, "Japanese people
are ugly ", I want to slap them. I've seen a lot of gorgeous Japanese people, both men and women.

So in defense and honor of the Japanese people, YATTA! KAWAII! HAI!

OMG, Enchanted made me fall in love with Disney even more! The songs are addicting and the movie was amazing! First I have nothing bad to say. Secondly, THIS MOVIE IS WHAT DISNEY SHOULD BE! Amy Adams was thrilling and amazing. She has a such cute singing voice. James Marsden was soo sexy as Prince Edward. And so hilarous! Susan Saradon was Queen Narissa was spectaular. I have no clue way some people are disappointed the last moments of the movie, but I quite enjoyed it. Maybe since I am still a kid at heart I didn't really judge the movie that much.

Disney has definitely redeemed itself and has brought back that *Disney Magic*. I don't know about others but for me I enjoy the musical numbers. Enchanted does have the MAGIC that I've been waiting for from Disney. Although Enchanted doesn't have a song for the villian(I wish they did though. But it's still good!), those villian songs like "Gaston" and "Be Prepared" made me love Disney. Disney songs are catchy!

Read Fool of the Fairytale!
