Less than a week and I will be home... Thought I would be able to do some work whilst I'm in HK, but what I've wrote of Divinitas I intend to scrap, and what I've drawn is little more than sketches. *Sigh* Life sucks.

Brought The Axis Trilogy by Sara Douglas yesterday. $91HK per book, which is more than what I usually pay for books in Australia. But, desperate times call for desperate measures, and I need books to read, especially on the plane. I hope they're decent.

Took more pictures today. Interesting poses and possibe backgrounds. I have several artworks I want to do when I get home and establish myself at my uni accomodation. The one of Ari which will complement the one of Gryps which I am thinking I will name "Water of the Fall" and one of Phoenic lying on his stomach to show his back and bloodly non-existant wings to be named "De-Wingded". Hnn... none of this helps for the layout pictures of the profile pictures... I am so bad... X___X

Mission was sucessful. Have the photos of the pose, nevermind that it's a crappy picture. It is more than enough for a reference. Thanks to the 3x optical zoom and supressed flash, no one noticed my less than discreet movements to take it. Somehow, I feel like a theif...

Anyway, hopped on the net for a while yesterday and found much to my dismay that the orginial branch of FanFiction.net, FictionPress.net, has gotten ride of the anime/manga categoty from their site. Divinitas has been shoved to General Fiction now. *Sigh* First it was no NC-17, so I has to re-rate it to R. Then it was moved from Fanfiction -> Original Anime/Manga to Original Fiction -> Anime/Manga, and now we don't even have our own section because it's of "little value"...

I am not fond of the people who run ff.net or fp.net. Really. ^_^ I hate them much. They should die painfully.

I now brlieve its only a matter of time before they get rid of yaoi / shounen ai / slash because it's "morally wrong", etc, etc, etc... I really should start fully promoting Divinitas on Media Miner and SoupFiction... But they are usually down or something. -___-

I miss all my sketch books with their previous Divinitas pictures. I miss my scanner and my tablet... Everything I draw just seems so very very wrong and I'm getting death threats from both Pheonix and Gryps... *Bawls* So alone and everyone is against me!

You see, yesterday I finished drawing and inking a portfolio picture for Gryps. I did it without any reference to my previous drawings, so it just looks wrong. I don't like it and I don't think it would would as a profile picture anyway. Besdies, I still thing Surtout Seul's artworks of Gryps & Ari look more like Gryps and Ari than mine do... So I pretty much had a big sulk and drew two little sketches of Phoenix I really really shouldn't have done. What I drew was beyond cruelty, worse than anything else I've written or drawn him in before. If I put it up, I am sure he will strike me dead in my sleep...

~ Caleyndar @ 8:17 AM

Why can't I seem to remember what happened the day before with ease? *Sigh* My mind must really be going.

Oh yes, I brought a camera yesterday, an F401. Because I love the pretty blue LEDs... I'm a sucker for blue sparkly things. Now all I have to do is try and hunt down that little poster I saw with that pretty pose to make Ari all happy and stuff. But knowing my luck, I won't be able to find it. My sense of direction is as bad as my memory. And even if I do find it... people are going to look at me funny for taking a picture of a curled up naked woman in a poster... *twitches*

Yesterday. Okay. We went to visit some of my mother's friends. My cousin and I basically ransacked their candy suppy and watched some movie on TV whilst the adults talked much. The only other thing to note about yesterday is that I brought a cute mobile phone holder which I thought Patty might like. ^_^ Oh yes, I gave in and checked my email. Mostly automatic stuff. 12 additions to my Divinitas mailing list, 2 entries to my Divinitas guest book, and some junk mail and other crap... Nothing from anyone I know and love... *Bawls*

I think I must have had my fill of food now, because this morning I didn't really feel like complaining about it. Yesterday's 4 full meals + snacks must have abaited my desire for food.

I seem to be sleeping a lot... Going to bed at 9-10pm and getting up 6-7am. That's like... over 9 hours of sleep. I don't sleep that much at all at home. I get 6 hours, tops. Sleep 1am, get up 6am. Oh I am going to have put on soooo much weight when I get home... x____X

Ack. I need to buy postcards. But I haven't been anywhere that sells post cards. Damn it!

Yesterday. I don't seem to remember much about it except eating a lot of food and going clothes shopping (which I really loathe, by the way).

I think I've really lost touch with my writing. Everything I write seems to have no other purpose than to make some character squirm. Namely Phoenix. So that would explain why he kicks me when I sleep and tell me to quit slacking off and get Asuhra off him. Hmmm... Silly boy. It's not as if meeting Aether will be any better.

~ Caleyndar @ 7:27 AM

Damn the time differences! I'm going to bed around 10pm and getting up before 6am. Nothing food wise is open before 8am (well, what I want to eat anyway), so I must starve for at least 2 hours and it sucks.

Phoenix: You're complaining about food again...
Kawo-chan: Yes. One comes to HK to eat. ^_^ What else would I have to talk about?
Phoenix: -______________-

I made the mistake of following my mum and aunty to the markets yesterday and saw something that really turned my stomach. Seafood and poltry are *really* fresh here. As in they're alive when you buy them and are killed right in front of you. One shop had some eel-like fish (not sure what they were - just long and snake-like?), and they were chopped in half. One head half was still alive and wriggling in the bucket. How horrible and cruel to have half your body cut off and still be alive.

So after that little scene, Phoenix asked me how I could even comtemplate what Aether has in mind for him... It must be the real life / fiction difference thing like Patty said... Hmm...

Oh yeah, we went to visit my grandfather's grave yesterday and then to see my grandmother at the nursing home. It was a pretty depressing sight, considering the last time I saw her with my mother they were still yelling at each other, and this time she could barely talk.

~ Caleyndar @ 6:19 AM

Hmmm... got up at 6:30 AM, HK time. Only my mom and aunty are up and they are talking and I'm starving, but no one wants to move to go buy food. I'm too lazy, and besdies, I don't know the security code to get back into the building... No, I'm just too lazy... X_x

Anyway, am writing 047 atm. I hope I can decipher my writing when I get home. I regret not having brought my dictionary, and writing is slow going because I'm using pencil and paper... Oh, I have only just begun to realise how much I depend on my computer to help me with my writing. My poor editor will have her work cut out for her when I get back. ^_^

Meow. I do wish I had my camera. I really want to take pictures of stuff. Life, I saw this really pretty pose of a naked women (she was advertising some skin care product thing) that I would *love* to draw Ari in. In graphite pencil to complement the artwork of Gryps "Falling".

Anyway, must go harass people for food now. ^_^ Will write more later.

~ Caleyndar @ 7:00 AM

Thought I might kepp blog entries for whilst I was away. I suppose I will type this up and put it on the net once I get home and have a bit of free time.

Anyway, plane ride over to HK today was horrible. Flight was delayed for 2 hours and as usual the food was pretty crap. Still, I was starving, so I ate everything I deemed edible. But of course, the serves were really small and I was still hungry. Hmm... can I sink any lower when I start complaining about food? Oh yes. I was pissed because they didn't offer the J-pop channel on my flight.

The only good thing about the flight was that I got to see some really awesome cloud formations. I think they were isolated storm clouds or something. They just bloomed up from the sea and there was one that looked a bit like a vortex spiralling upwards. Really regretted not having a camera with me then. But! I was so inspired by the sight that I decided I just had to include it somewhere in Divinitas. So I think Aether is going to shove Phoenix off Ten to Chikyuu. ^__________^

Yah, anyway, got to HK in one piece, met relatives (I am still taller than my fav cousion, so I rule!) and had a pretty nice time with them at dinner.

~ Caleyndar @ 10:30 PM

On Kouryuu's orders, I'm writing this blog entry. I'm not sure if I have or haven't mentioned it in previous entries, but I'm going away to Hong Kong for 2 weeks. Just so those who know me won't think I've died. ^_^

So, what does this mean? No updates for 2 weeks! ^_^ And better news still... I'm not going to update Divinitas anymore. ... I wish there was some easy way I could leave a huge empty gap here to make it seem that's that and there isn't anymore to say after it. But yeah, apparently I'm not that mean and wouldn't lie about something like this. In other words, I'm not going to update Divinitas for a good long while whilst I do some unseen deeds of destruction and rebuilding to the site. I intend to do some work whilst I'm in HK, and whilst I don't have access to the net once I move out of home... So that as soon as I get the net at my new place, I can upload version 3.0 of the Divinitas website with all its updates and... corrections (yes, the profiles are rather... inaccurate these days. Oh, but we have come a long way, and apparently torture changes people... or something).

So! My dearest friends... Trinity-sama, I will miss worshipping you. Knight-kun... Gimme my Christmas present already you meanie who dangle-dangles it in front of me and doesn't even hint at what it is! Kouryuu-chan... I will miss tormenting you. *Nod nod* But I am sure that I will be comforted by the fact that Subaru will do more than a sufficent job of it whilst I'm away. SoBe-chan... Don't get too caught up with school work and such. Draw stuff!!! ^____^ I know I sure wish I drew more often when I was younger, because then maybe my talent would be better now... x_X Hugs to all! Take care and hope I don't die from the evil air plane food! I will be back on the 28th!

~ Caleyndar @ 8:39 PM

Woohoo! Finially finished Mine. ^_^ Now you can see ALL my silly artworks here...! x_X And yes, Kouryuu, your little WRONG X ficcie from Kamui's pov inspired the little title on the main page... *Smiles*

Anyway! I got unviersity housing! It's off campus, but within walking distance to the train station and right next to the uni campus, so all is good. AND I can install my own phone line and get internet too (but it will take a while to get it...)!!! It's $109AU a week, which includes electricity and water, but must make own food and stuff. X_X At least all is falling into place! ^_^

Enrolled into UWS on Wednesday. It was not too bad, and I made a friend so we went through enrolment together. My ID photo is horrible and I will NEVER show anyone I know!!!

Oh yes. Haven't been on much all week 'cause of work. Cameras are evil. -_- But now that Mine is all done, I will go and work on Divinitas artworks. Still trying to come out with something nice for the splash page. It must draw the right kind of people, and banish the wrong kind. ^_^

~ Caleyndar @ 8:07 AM

Yesterday I finished CGing the piccy for Mine... Working on the website now. Will post linky when done. Will never use dark red theme for layout again. Much distortion of images when viewed in browser. Crappiness.

Posted 046 some day ago. Forget when. Can't remember anything much. Brain melts often. Kouryuu says she likes the Aether from The Past... He's such a slut though. -_- Kouryuu also suggested the name Ashura... *Sly smile* Wanna guess for who? Need give her credit on site...

Hmm. Need to work on Divinitas artworks after I finish Mine site. Must redesign Divinitas website and get rid of old crappy profile piccies. Meow.

Learnt how to make animated gifs in Adobe ImageReady today. I was impressed, but Knight-kun was not. Well, poo to you. :P~~~ She's too busy working on a birthday present to play with her Hime-sama. *Sighs and wonders if she's ever going to get that Christmas persent Knight-kun hinted at way back many moons ago*
