I've been seeing these around lately, and, after requesting a sketch from ~Antious, I decided I should do one too. I've got 5 slots open because I'm going to post this on my other accounts, too. So this'll have 5, ~MLEst1 will have 3 and ~MLEst1-flowers will have 2.

I stole this from =hiritai and, while trying to figure out how to make her username show up that way, I accidently submitted the journal xD
I fail.

Why did you join this site?
I think I joined because I wanted to put my art up. I don't really remember.

What does your username have to do with you? Is it a combination of your favorite things, or a character of yours?
My username came from a story I was writing at the time about an underground gang trying to spread Harry Potter, despite it being banned around the world. I even had my name listed as my character's name for a while- she was going to be the one to lift the ban on the books, so I became the Lifter of the Ban.

What is your current icon of?
A drawing I did on the back of my scratch paper from a science test. I still have the paper- I pinned it to my wall, and if you look on the back you can still see my formulas (though I've forgotten what they're for... -_-'

How many watchers do you have and how many people are you currently watching?
"She watches 57 people, while 20 people watch her."
I need to put up more things and expand- a lot.

Do you have more than one account?
~MLEst1 and ~MLEst1-flowers
I'm going to re-post this meme on those accounts, too. Though most answers will be the same...

Name 3 of your favorite artists on DA.
*behindinfinity
=hiritai
~Kellhound1365
=onnawufei
=oceanographergrl

What deviant do you admire because of their personality?
*nekoni I love reading her manga summaries.
=oceanographergrl She's simply awesome.
~Maniac-Lady She's hilarious!

How many people on here do you actually know in reality? Post their avatars.
~Maniac-Lady
=oceanographergrl
~kerirae
~vora101 My cousin!

There are a few more, but mostly people from conventions who I met, but don't really know...

Do you comment, fave, or both?
Depends. Sometimes I comment without faving, sometimes I fave without commenting, sometimes I do both. Just depends, really.

What do you typically post on deviantart?
This account has my older stuff and my silly stuff. It was my first account and I only kept it because I can't delete it.
~MLEst1 has most pictures and some stuff from art class (that's actually why I got it- somewhere to post my better stuff)
~MLEst1-flowers has pictures of nature (mostly flowers right now, but trees and bugs coming soon!)

Do you participate in clubs or contests here on DA?
No clubs. I'm planning on participating in a contest, but I'd have to remember to work on my entry, so that might not work out...

What is your most popular deviation?
Mikan and Natusme- a fanart I did a couple Christmases ago when I got the first volume of the manga. It's a okay pic, nothing great. I messed up the colors... (they're supposed to be in red plaid, not blue yet)

What's your favorite submission in your favorites gallery?
[link] I think I like this one best, but I like these, too:
[link] Every cemetery should have one!
[link] Team Edward or Team Jacob you ask? I'm Team Voldemort!
[link] Now everyone can have one! Even a doll!
[link] Just read it.

What are the things you wish you could draw better?
Profiles, backgrounds, hands/feet connected to bodies (I can draw hands and feet, but not connected to a body...)

Are you a subscriber?
no................

How many hours a day do you spend on DA?
Depends on the week. Sometimes I'm never off and others I forget it for several weeks...

Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?
Medium. Depends on if I'm using one hand or two, laying awkwardly and and what keyboard I'm using. I'm okay with mine and my mom's and I'm faster with my dad's.

What is the most annoying thing people ask you?
To go to bed.

What is the most annoying comment you get?
I don't get enough comments for them to be annoying, so I think they're all great.

What inspires you?
Movies, friends, plants, life- everything

Do you use any traditional media?
Unless I took a picture and am using iPhoto, all my art is traditional until I get Photoshop...

Do you associate people online with their icons?
Yes. Easiest way to find someone.

Have you ever suggested a Daily Deviation?
No. I don't know how to do that.

Everyone has considered leaving DA once or twice. Have you? Why?
I don't think so. If I did the thought only lasted a moment.

*sigh*

Again, it's been about a year since I last updated. Since then, I've gotten my hands on my first BJD (Bobobie Mei I've named Asha) and am heading into my junior year of high school in about a month.

My parents have divorced.

I had a boyfriend.

My dad got remarried.

I turned 16.

I learned to ride a quad.

I discovered that Macs are not evil, and that I actually like them.

I can't think of anything else major. Hmm... Let's see...

Aside from my other account , I recently created another account I also got an account on LiveJournal [link]

I plan to start using it. I'm not sure exactly what I'll put in it, but anything important will be there. Much easier than trying to update the journal on 3 accounts.

On a side note... I GOT OVER ONE THOUSAND PAGE VIEWS!?!? Why did I not notice this sooner? I feel so oblivious...

Hey.

Been a little while since I've updated.

The Cosplay in the Park bombed. And not in a good way. Nobody else was able to make it, so my dad, brother and I went to lunch instead.

School's started up since I last updated. Tomorrow begins my third week.

I'm interested in getting some BJDs by the time that I graduate in 2011. I'm looking to get 5 of the MSD/Kid Dollmores and 1 of the Model size. I even have a plan for getting my first 4!!!!

I'm going to buy one myself (almost halfway there!), get money from my dad to buy two (he's going to give me some money for dolls when he and my mom get divorced...) and I'm going to get my grandma to buy the Model doll when I finish reading the bible.

After that, I just have to save up for the last two ^_^

If anyone wants links to the dolls I'm planning to get, feel free to ask ^_^

Alright, so, a few days ago I finally updated my journal, and it was about this Cosplay in the Park that I plan to hold this Saturday.

I was linked to an awesome park: [link]

And, since no one else suggested a park, that is where it will be. The park is in Tempe.

I live in Arizona, so if you're interested in participating, comment on this journal or send me a note.

I really hope that this works out!

Note for those who would like to come: If it does happen, please bring your own food if you want it, and at least one game (preferably a board game or Twister or whatnot...).

Also, Kerirae [link] will be brining WATERMELLONS!!!!!!!!

Hoping to see people next weekend,

~Emy
