This is the friends only entry silly, scroll down to see actual entries.



This is kinda... semi-friends only? xD Iunno, maybe I should change the banner --or maybe I'm just confused on the matter!

If you're only here for icons, then go to my icon journal; caffeine_icons

- Ask to be added please! :o And I will accept. I'm not picky and I'm always welcome to new friends here. :]

-I'm very friendly. xD; Maybe too much!

-I'm Muslim and proud. I'm not oppressed or naive or a terrorist, xD though you're allowed to think whatever you like. Just suggesting that if you can't take that, this journal is really not for you.

-Add me before you ask or I probably won't add back (Unless you're a really close friend) _{I'm impatient like that >>...}

-Please DO NOT spread out whatever I say in here, this is friends only for a reason, and I trust you not to do so. :[ That ain't cool people.

-Comment once in a while!

-Tell me a bit about yourself, your name/nickname, hobbies, where you're from, and such. Like a mini-biography, not a life story or anything. I'm just interested in knowing a bit about before I friend. (Not a requirement)

-One thing you should know, I am currently very much obsessed with the FullMetal Alchemist pair Edward Elric x Winry Rockbell (And Alphonse Elric x Mei Chen), and I *will* rant about in in a lot of entries. While I don't mind if you don't like them, if you can't handle me liking it then this journal is not for you.

-I tend to shift between emo and terribly hyper and happy, be prepared for that.

Anyhow, if if the above comments haven't driven you away, leave a comment and say so, and friend me back.

I friend everyone who asks. :B

Done on Tegaki E.

I tried. >3>

I darkened and sharpened the original image a tad. I kinda like the look.

Reference here. I thought he looked like a perfect Edward Elric. The jaw... that is SUCH a perfect Ed jaw!

I should do Winry next. 8D

Edward Elric is © to Hiromu Arakawa the cow.

Oekaki + Open Canvas + MS Paint

Lineart and colouring on Oekaki. Shading by Open Canvas. Background was done on MS Paint and coloured in Open Canvas. MS Paint and Open Canvas were used for any last-minute edits.

I'm kinda sad about how Ed turned out... I can never draw bodies right. I like Winry's dress, tho... well, the top part anyhow.

Thanks to Lina and Plaidrat for looking over the pic.

I did an okay background for once, I feel accomplished. oxo

Okay, so this was my entry for fireandice2008!

I was given two prompts, one to do with heat, and one to do with cold. I used "Mittens and Jackets".

I won first place for art! \o/

A big thank you to everyone who voted for me!

The lineart was done on paper with Copic and Sakura multiliners. This was originally supposed to be coloured with markers, but I got carried away when I was experimenting colours digitally... and this happened. e.e;

I'm happy with it --Ed's face still bugs me but... it was worse before. xD

This has been edited since I submitted it for the contest, too.

Please tell me your thoughts!

I seem to be doing one of these every year now. xD;



But anyhow, once again, I feel as if some of us have drifted apart, and some people just aren't interested, and so on.

I was a little apprehensive at first about this, but I've decided to man up. =>_<= *Is war-painted*

Certain people are safe, mostly close friends. You most likely know who you are.

So yes, comment if you'd like to remain friends. =)

Funny story. Ms. Baksh was telling us in the MSA, about how one of her teachers make the boys sit down and listen when a girl would ask about menstruation problems and so on. Because they probably had a mother and sister(s) and they'll probably have a wife and daughter(s) someday, and need to know this stuff.

A lot of guys don't know that a woman can't fast while she's on her cycle --Not because she's unclean, but because she's unable, and we do make up fasts after ramadan. Apparently, in another school's MSA, there was this guy who, after Ramadan finished went around asking everyone how many days they fasted, and bragged about how he fasted all thirty.

So, he went up to a girl and asked her how many days she fasted. "Twenty-four", she said, and he laughed at her gloating "Haha, I did all thirty! You're lazy!"

He kept doing this to other girls too, until finally someone got annoyed.

"Did you notice ALL the girls fasted less than thirty?"

"Yeah, because they're LAZY!"

"Look, go home, ask your mother how many she kept, and ask her why."

So, he went home. And the next day, he came, looking very small and quiet. And he said,

"I asked my mom..."

So now I have fun watching the boys squirm in the MSA during the times me and other girls bring up the problem. >:D

New Copic Sketch markers and my faithful old Prismacolours.

I actually did a decent background for once... wow. Too bad the sky sucks so bad D: it's always something.

So, how goes it?

*Whistles*

Yeah, I guess I dissappear and re-appear in a while. Tis my style now, as you already know. .-.

I need to get off my lazy butt and post my FMA and Avatar icons.

A rant I wrote a little while ago...

You heard about the guy killing his daughter for not wearing a hijab. It's wrong, it's horrible, I agree wholeheartedly. What iffs however, is that media is now taking this as fodder to add to their subliminal messages of how "Oooh, Muslims are bad!"

But what about the Christian grandmother that stuffed her granddaughter's head in the oven for wearing too much black? No, that hardly gets mentioned and when it does, people realize it's the lady's fault and not the religion's.

You hear about the shit so-called "Muslims" do, but what about the husband that told his wife to stop wearing the hijab; the hijab he'd asked her to wear since their marriage; the hijab he asked her to remove after he realized how uncomfortable she was wearing it?

You don't hear about the good deeds, the kindness. Media thrives on bad stuff, people thrive on hate. They never try to look at the good side, the good people, the real truth.

I don't like how people automatically assume the worst of people, the worst of things. Media thrives on cynicism, people thrive on cynicism. I don't know why people think it's cool, and how being optimistic is unrealistic.

Because, y'know, realism is really just a mix of pessimism and what the media shows you, right? /sarcasm

No one pays attention to the mother that makes sacrifices everyday for her kids, no one pays attention to the Muslim woman who doesn't try to convert them, no one listens to the Christian that doesn't tell people they're going to hell. It's the whole looking at the cup-half-empty thing again.

The airport security... they scare me. they have more power than the police force, and if they don't like a certain Muslim they can haul them in for "investigation" and shove a rod up their ass to search for bombs. And with that kind of power, comes people who abuse it. A lot of them unfairly pick on anyone who is or look like they are Muslim.

Of course, I'm not saying all airport workers are evil, or most even. But, quite a few of them have been brainwashed to believe Muslims are less than human, and that is scary. Because, it kind of reminds me of what happened with the Jewish before the holocaust happened. People never learn.

Speaking of the airport deal, how ironic would it be if some other race/religion guy passed by their systems with a bomb because of all their time on Muslims... Huh. :/

People seem to deem Muslims as terrorists, because of a bad thing some so-called "Muslims" did. They are rude to hijabi girls, for example, a few of my friends said they were being treated in the rudest way and being stared at at the airport. One woman actually backed away.

Also, the whole 911 thing. more innocent people die in Iraq every month than in the twin towers... but no, they're doing a good deed.

By the way, if anyone takes that last bit out of context and goes all attack on me because I'm "disrespecting the dead", or insulting the good, hard-working, and dutiful soldiers, you can go screw off, and stop jumping the gun and putting words in my mouth. No, seriously.

Now I'm not going all "Ooooh, I'm soooo oppressed!". I'm thankful for the rights I still have, I'm thankful for the free country I live in, I'm thankful for friends that don't judge me based upon my religion, I'm thankful for the majority of the students at my school that can have religious discussions civilly, and for the freedom in my learning area.

And now, to practice what I preach, I'm going to post an incident concerning Islam that made me smile.

Ms. Baksh, our Muslim Students Association teacher, was reading us a news article today about a referee who told an 11 year old female soccer player to take off her hijab because it would be "harmful to her teammates".

The coach went all "Wtf?", and all the other girls of the team were outraged and crying and forfeighted the game. they refused to play if she couldn't. The other team supported them too. these girls were crying, crying for a friend whom thay had barely known for six weeks, protesting despite the fact that they had nothing to do with Islam.

A big thank you from my heart goes out to them. It made me smile. We, the MSA, we are going to write thank you letters to them. After all, we shouldn't focus just on the bad things, but the good as well, right?

8D Whooo~

And, just to clear things us, no, I don't think any differently of you even if you believe the World was created by Swiss cheese. :p And I don't believe you're going to hell.

Whoo! It's the second, three-day-long, and not as speshul as the ramadan Eid!

Eid Mubarak everyone! May you get lots of Eid money and eat lots of sacrificial meat 8D... (God, that last bit sounds so sadistic... but it's not!)

Holidays are here too, ironically. (Arabic months come ten days early each year) buttah... D: That means I have to wait two weeks to see the Muslim Students Association at school again... We have such fun! (There's people of other religion in it too, and the discussions are amazing :D)

Well, my art has improved, wouldn't you say? EdWinry, AlMei, RoyAi, LingRan, HYD, etc.

:D

...Now if only my bgs were better.

Oh, and a_white_rain Remember that fic you wrote me a long time ago? Of EdWinry? the "Edward Rockbell" one? I made a pic based off that quite a while ago >_>;... I just have been lazy about submitting it... in fact, I still haven't put it up on DA yet. I will in a few days, but would you like a sneak peek now?

MY BROTHER IS ONE LUCKY BITCH.

He got to meet J K Rowling today for a special class field trip! And he got a copy of the seventh book signed by her!

UNFAIR!

I don't blame him tho, I blame FRANCE! I just KNOW that had something to do with this. Those curly-musatched, cheese-humping bastards!

Okay, so I was googling fairytales, when I came across this. I tired, and I lol'd, and decided I must post my results. (You should try it too!)
