So strike a pose and fake a smile, you're coming with me

watched Victorious a while ago. Don't watch too often, but Avan Jogia is SMOKIN' HAWT. I heard he might play Fang in Maximum Ride... he's hot, but i like Fang and Iggy better as imaginary people. Sure, there's manga versions, but still. I haven't read them. I was trying to learn the beginning of Meteor Shower by Owl City on piano, but got real bored, real fast. Kinda been on and off the computer all day. I'm geeky like that. I'm going to try to draw a more detailed pic of Fang (off on of the covers) tonight... hopefully. Unless I get frustrated. And don't doubt me cuz I usually do manga... I can do realistic drawings too. Check it out:



I did that maybe last year, and it's of a photo of me when i was in the fifth grade... and i thought it was pretty decent... so don't doubt mah skeeuhls.
I also was in the school's spelling bee this past school year, so don't doubt my spelling, either. xD

Happy Fourth

so i drew some stuff... actually looks like I'm getting worse. Probably need to take a break, cuz i think I'm not putting enough time into it as i should. I'm rushing it too much...

anyway, here they are:





and if those are just a bunch of letters, numbers, and symbols, I'm gonna be pissed... cuz that's what they look like now as I'm writing...
I don't really have anything else to say at this moment (I probably will later) so I guess I'll leave you with this.

Fly on,
^Maile!^

second post of the day, la-da-di...

so I'm posting again. Why? Well i don't know.... i guess i have nothing better to do. I'm kinda waiting for "that feeling" to set in.
what's that feeling? why, the feeling of productivity, of course!
There are fireworks tonight... (wondering why they're on the third. idiots.) haha ironic my mom JUST asked me if i wanted to go see them.
My answer: sure. sounds like fun getting in a long row of cars all the way down East State, to see maybe... ten minutes of fireworks, and then piling back into the car and getting stuck in traffic for a half hour to get maybe a quarter mile back to my house. but explosions and smoke, and bright colors? Count me in.

My mom's watching America's Got Talent in the next room over... buncha dancers are on now. Just flashed the Haitian flag. (fist pump) Pretty sick stuff.

oh well, i guess before i bore you anymore...

let the good times roll,

Excited? You betcha.

Just got back from my great grandma's funeral... pretty sad. :( but that is SO not why this post is titled "Excited? You betcha." (I am NOT heartless)
i am excited cuz i just got the next two Maximum Ride books. (The Final Warning and MAX) Am I Team Maximum? Absolutely. Have I read the entire series? No, duh. Am I in love with Fang and Iggy with all my heart? Of course. Do I wish i could play Nudge in the movie even though I'm Asian? Who wouldn't?

Ok, enough of these rhetorical questions...

I drew a picture last night (duh) even though I wasn't supposed to (psh) and it was of Iggy, me, and Fang (as manga characters of course <3) style="font-weight: bold;">SPOILER ALERT*
so i'm reading the fourth book, and i got to the part where Fang kissed Max. Not sure where all this is going, cuz there's something on the back about Fang goin' puppy-eyed for some know-it-all older women. And I'm all... WTF. FANG NEEDS TO GET HIS EMO BUTT IN LINE! He either loves Max, or not. I kinda like reading what it's like kissing Fang. Makes me smile.... xD

excerpt:

He rolled his eyes and took my hand. His hand was hard and calloused, tough with muscle and old scars. The night settled around us like a blanket. I could hear the water lapping against the dock. We were totally alone.
"You're...," he began, and I waited, heart throbbing in my throat. "Such a pain," he concluded.
"What?" I asked, just as his head swooped in and his mouth touched mine. I tried to speak, but one of Fang's hands held the back of my head, and he kept his lips pressed against me, kissing me softly, but with a Fanglike determination.
...Fang tilted his head to kiss me more deeply, and I felt totally lightheaded. ...Somehow we were pressed together, Fang's arms around me now, sliding under my wings, his hands flat against my back.
It was incredible. I loved it. I loved him.
It was a total disaster.

steamy, huh? xD Loved it, loved it, loved it.

ttfn,

i art-ed today.

a painting i did today... so i am now officially out of canvas. but i still have paint-able surfaces, so I'm good. This is a quote from Maximum Ride (duh) that The Voice said to Max. idk what the squares are for, but it looks pretty cool, right?

Eyeliner is redundant for people who wear glasses..

just got pushed back second to last
take my breath cuz my death
will be fast
I am afraid to feel my shame
u make me cry just as I
believe in the rain
and you are to blame

chorus:
your beautiful eyes project your lies
but your lips whisper scripts that make me cry
and I fall for it every time

this sense in me, saw the need
of my heart, but wasn't smart
the choices made, would be played out
in your favor
and my pain was your gain
just to savor

chorus

bridge:
I fall for your lies,
every time,
even I start to cry,
deep inside, I did find in your eyes,
the same cries, bound in ties, just like mine

chorus


haven't named it yet... tell me what you think... haven't written music to go with it either, but i got the beat... ohhh wellll...

Maximum Ride isn't a book... It's a way of life.

these are a whole bunch of Maximum Ride stuff i've made... sorry for the bad quality, but i don't have a scanner, so tough luck. I'm either getting better or worse at the whole drawing manga thing, so bear with me.
