The fun fact is that I've already developted some sort of indifference to my current flow of life... I mean, I'm already 2 months away from my home and my parents, I'm in an absolutely new community now, my life has changed quite much, I'm studying at the university...
And I simply don't care about it. As if nothing had happened and nothing had changed. I don't even miss my home at all. And I don't enjoy living in a "big sity" either.
Oh, I'm such a frigid indifferent little wretch...
And I feel completely alone. No, I don't mean I need friends who would talk to me about my life, joys and problems. I just mean that right now I feel quite _isolated_. See, I've finished a fanfiction a month ago. I've thrown it into the forum's topic and almost yelled: "ANYONE WHO READ IT COMMENT IT!!!". The result? There were about 20 downloads, and there was only one guy who, beside people whom I've asked to test the fic, actually replied with a comment. Or another example - in this very gallery there's my lattest update, the concept image of my fanmaren. And so? 5 people faved it, but none left any comment! I myself like the image of dreamwatcher Maert, I actually very proud of it; but, when I see people faving my pictures and leaving no comments, I got very confused because I don't know what was it exactly that caused them to fav it!
Hence my feelings of being ignored.
The moral? Do leave the comments, please, don't make me a little tearful girl.
Or maybe I should just wait. That's all probably my confidence problems, growing up and such... it should wear off if I grow older...

I have to be better too, though. I promise - as soon as I get my hands on a scanner, I'll rush back here and put some new pictures.


PS: by the waaaay, do anyone by any chanse know where can I get lyrics from Tali Demon's album 'Nitez into Dreamz'? Quite hard for me to understand these songs aurally...

Good news - I found a nice internet-cafe about 15 minutes from home. Don't know if I'm gonna visit it regulary, but I think once-twice a week would be okay.
Can't say a thing about any deviations... Don't know if I would have time to draw - or, more likely, physical and mental strenghth... Lectures are gonna take a major part of my days...
Also, I should say that I like my faculty! You know, if transliterate it (I mean, write russian word with english letters) do you know what would we end up with? FEEL FUCK... yes, sorry for bad language, but it's true! XD I already feel I'm gonna have permanent quests like "Go there, I don't know where..." Because the University of Nation's Friendship is freaking HUGE, and we, the first-year students, hardly know where should we go for the next lecture if it's not at our building... Wheeee, university is gonna be 'fun'... me hopes...

So, I still don't know when I am to uptade the gallery or even sneak online... stay tuned...
omg, I really shouldn't say that... "Stay tuned" hangs on the sonic-world for several months without any changes, and I don't want to repeat it's fate...

I moved to Moscow... To study at the university... Ow, bye-bye freedom of schoolyears... Bye-bye parents, I'm gonna miss you a LOT. Ow-ow-ow, welcom goddamn problems...
The summer is closer to its end by every hour, I can almost feel it... Few days earlier, I've spent a day and a night at summerhouse of friends of my friend. It was fun (the place is beautiful), plus, I could swim there in the river. Oh, haven't swim in... two years or so... I guess the river was that thing that killed me, as I fell slightly ill. Running nove, coughing, pain in the ear... bleh...
Though I would definately went there again ))) The banya there is great
Also, Kaeta-nee-chan are forcing me to draw her with some boshounen dragon I had to make for her. Evil, evil girl she is! I've got so tired and inmotivated because of him...
Oh yes, the main part of the journal update! I don't seem to have Internet at home (I'm at Kaeta;s place now) so sorry for abcence! Also, I don't know when I'm going to update gallery next time (

NiD.com, oooh, how Ive missed you... so happy to see all the updates... But dear God, the one thing that frustrated me and brought me to tears - the new voice of NiGHTS. People seems to be quite acceptable, but I definately DO NOT LIKE IT. A certain FEMALE voice for an adrogynous character?! When I look at NiGHTS, whether original or new design, and especially when I look at U.V. NiGHTS, I just can't bring myself to like this voice (
Ow well... sure there must be some bad points to make life imperfect...

Sooo, bye everyone, really can't tell when I'm gonna be online next time...

Just a quick post with some of my babbling about the upcoming game and NiD community I'm currently in.

First of all, I'm enjoying the whole thing very much. Like, people spent 11 years waiting - not just passive waiting and playing the original game, but developting the world of NiGHTS, the concept of it, creating so many different things - from pictures to music. One of the best thing I can remember about the NiGHTS 2 is one girl of this community saying: "After almost a decade, my old friend is coming back!"
Sonic-fans! I'm turning to you now! Imagine Sega or Sonic Team taking a break for about a ten years, doing nothing with the blue 'hog (I let you choose after which game they would take such a break), and so - would anyone say something like that? I myself wouldn't. Which makes me feels kinda sad, because either I'm not so much of a Sonic-fan, or the blue blur didn't that special to wait for him for ten years.
Sure he's not so special anymore, but I'm cutting out with him now! Back to the NiGHTS. Another great thing about community is their podcast show. I absolutely love it. Basically, they're talking about news of the NiGHTS 2 game. But I like the way they are talking about it, it such a great and lively conversation - and I like listening to the English language. DiGi and TRiPPY makes an awesome Dreamcast podcasts, I'm looking forward to listening more of them.
Like, last podcast show, the third one, they got some people speaking their minds about new kids Helen and William, and it was really interesting to hear the variety of opinions. Someone didn't like them, someone did like, someone liked only one of two kids... Though as I see now, people tends to calm down and say "Okay, let's just wait and see if this kids have any personalities" (pretty much the same was about the new NiGHTS design, I think).
Oh, about new kids' designs - it said to be easier in relating your gamer self with them. I just want to repeat DiGi's words, so awesome are they: "How the hell they're gonna relate to NiGHTS? He's purple, he's got big long eyelashes, he's skin like hell and he flies?".
Bah, sorry, I'm just a bit obsessed with the whole podcast thing... it's awesome...

Another news that broke out a few days ago is that NiGHTS gonna have a voice actor, though it's not sure whether he's gonna have a proper speeches throughtout the game or just random sounds. People doesn't seem to be quite sure about it right now - because everyone imagines NiGHTS' voice in a different ways. 'Sides, it would be quite hard to get a VA who can make an androgynous character sound androgynous.
Plus, me thinking about the game being translated... I put it nice and simple - Russian translation is the worst thing that could happen to any game (at least russian pirate translation always tends to be awful). Sorry for the pointless wailing, people, but I really felt an urge to tell about my little fears.

To end this post, I should say that I have quite a mixed feelings about the stuff that is going on. I like the world of the original game, though I don't seem to fully understand it so far; I'm absolutely in love with the community; but me seeing the developting of the upcoming game... Not really sure how could I express it properly, but I just feel it's going to differ from the original game; I fear to find something being missing...
Bah, enough wailing and babbling for now. As I found out, the game is going to be released at the end of December or something (at least that is what russian preview says), so only after obtaining the frigging Wii console and the game I'm gonna judge was my fears well-founded or not.

Weeell, since I've finished DiGiTAL DAyZ, I'm taking a vacation! 'Cause I demand a break from all the crazy stuff I have... Seriously, having about 15 various ideas which randomly popping out in reminding, like: "Just when the hell are you gonna make me into something real?!" - is quite confusing and irritating, no?
Sooo, I send all those ideas to wait in line. And I myself is in NiGHTS into dreams community now. Because you know what? Those guys are amazing! The ways they share and express their dreams are something.
'Sides, I love small forums :3

I found it somewhat funny that I couldn't sleep for past two nights. Well, I had a sleep for a few hours, but past nights I lay awake. Guess I got insomnia.

I feel somewhat anxious and cheerful about ideas I have, though I find it hard to bring myself to drawing any of these ideas. I bet you'll go all scared and stunned if you could look into my had and watch crazyness floating by... Like, ideas of comics, scraps and pieces soaring, few unfinished fanfictions and a whole bunch of fanart ideas waiting in the line... Honestly, when Kaeta heard few of my ideas, she went like "Demon bygone!" (да, и меня вылечат...)
I really have to learn how to draw - or how to hold my inspiration and motivation for longer than a ten minutes.

My Moscow trip was a real fun ^w^ Too many things had happened, so it's hard for me to write about them. So many places were visited, so many thing vere seen...

I'll be uploading photos - a whole bunch of photos I see as the best ones. I have even more on my computer, but I don't want to mess my gallery

Yesterday evening there was my final graduation party. It was a real fun! It has started at 7 o'clock, and it was supposed to last till 5 o'clock in the morning ) Dunno if it did, I left much earlier.
Quarter of the whole time I spent sitting on the sofa, imitating Kafra NPC ('cause I was looking after belongings of others, yep)) I was, lessay, forced to drink - but I drank only about three sips of champagne, and entirely because it was some kind of duty - to drink at graduation party. Champagne is absolutely unpalatable, I don't like it ))) I refused to drink anything aside from mineral water, though I know that others also drank red vine and vodka (one of my classmates was able to take one or two bottles of vodka with him))
Dancing was an unexpected fun! I usually don't dance, and I usually avoid dancing and disco)) But my friend Ksenia (she's a girl, yes), took me to the danceflood and told me to have fun. And I had, for real! My dancing was quite of "I-am-being-shot-by-electricity!", I guess ('kay, not THAT bad, I hope). But anyway, it WAS fun! My feet ached, so I had to put off my shoes and dance barefooted - many other girls did so as well, btw - I sweat like hell, but it was fun!
My mom came to take me back home around midnight, though, 'cause my grandma and dad went worrying about me. Mom herself wasn't against me havin' fun all night long, but dad and grandma went REALLY worrying about me. Too bad, at some point, cause I were thinking about taking all the night to have fun and be with my classmates. It is good at some point too, thought, 'cause I could die of tiredness on the dancefloor))) Or my classmates could make their dream come true and make me drunk XD I never drink any strong drinks and I known as a teetotaller, so it might be a dream of their )))

Anywayyy, the party was a real fun and I enjoyed it for real! ^_____^

Yes-yes-yes!!!! Finnaly, final school exams are passed!!! *dance-dance-dance*
I passed my last exam of social science just yesterday. Kind of funny it was - the exams started at 9 at the mornig. I left at 12 at the afternoon. No, I spent just about 20 munutes answering (I drew out a good card, with questions like "Needs", "Social relations" and something about democracy). About three frigging hours between 9 and 12 I spent waiting my turn to take the exam! Walking along the corridor reading materials, to be precise ^___^

Phew, anyway, I finished every exam! And I got quite a good marks, too - A for Russian language, English and social science, and B for math! Yay!
That means 7 B marks out of 15 subjects...

Now, I just need to wait until final graduation ceremony ^_^

There was the end of my school years today.

It is kind of good, because I always wanted to finish it as soon as possible... I don't have much favourite subjects, you see, or subjects I'm very good at.

Graduating ceremony was quite good. We were congratulate on the ending of the school years, told to be a good persons, told not to forget about school and childhood, and many other usual things... We, ourselves, thanked our teachers foe everything, played some jokes and made some fun out of it, apologized for every troubles we caused...
That soviet school uniform is fun, really.

After the ceremony, I've spent an hour or so hanging around my town, greeting strangers with a smile, and congratulating other graduates...
Though my mom wasn't too much happy about me being alone. Like, I suppose to make merry with my class, etc etc... Well, excuse me for not making proper friends with any of my classmates!

So, now... school is finally over. That is very sad, as well. Just because it is. That means official end of the childhood. That means official start of youth. That means beggining of the exams, university, etc etc...

I don't want to leave my childhood!!! Not yet! There's too many fantasies I haven't dreamt about! There's too many time I haven't spent for lazyness! There's too many thing I want to be done!

Oh, well, I guess I won't leave MY child state that soon

'Sides, I'm not a complete graduate yet ~_^ I still have final exams, after all...
And the final graduating is on 26 of June only...

Well... Just felt like upload my journal.

For the last few days I was feeling unusually warm and happy - those who reads my Li.Ru diary, probably knows why. Well, anyway, I'm being pretty happy, and I love it.
Though it's definately true that spring makes cats loose their minds and go wild... Okay-okay, I've recovered already, so I'm just warm and happy.

Spring seems to be coming - for the last time the temperature was 0 degrees or so.

Writing big and crazy fanfiction right now. Very crazy one, a la "hanging around a mental hospital". Wanna make it kind of philosophical or so... Was inspirated by S.E. Lain, and now I'm listening soundtrack of that anime (Kodoku no SHIGUNARU rulez!), so ya might guess what kind of a load crap I would get as a result...
Have lotsa plans about this fiction, though. Wanna make at least one artbook... In spite me beind unskilled doodler...

The weather is definately CRAZY!!! It was frigging warm yesterday - -5 degrees! In the first days of March! I've been walking for an hour with my jacket unzipped! Jeee, it was fuuun... Sun was shining so brightly, the sky was absolutely clear and blue, the snow was white, shiny and pretty - and me was doing nothing but hanging around my town and smiling like a happy idiot >w<

Okay, aside from weather topic. Next week I have to pass university exams. The university is Russian University of Nation's Friendship, or something like that. I really wanna pass these exams, 'coz I liked this university the best; though I still have two other variants...
So I'll just try my best, especially keeping myself away from the Internet XD

BTW, girls - happy Eighth March day ~_^


Кароч, насчет погоды снова распространяться не буду, скажу только, что вчера я выпала в сугой; в начале следующей недели у мя вступительные экзы в РУДН, еси завалю, буду долго рыдать и убивацца, и пробовать в два оставшихся (экзы 13, результаты уже 14-го).

С наступающим Восьмым Марта, девочки ~_^

Yesss, there's the real winter! Today is about -36 or -37. Because of the weathed we had no lessons today (we call such days aktirovka))

I had a little walk, though; about twenty or thirty minutes in total. My legs almost frozen)

I've took several photos and submitted four of them.

First of all - sorry, no new art. I'm too busy and too lazy right now to make one.

The main purpose of this post is strange behaviour of USA. Americans and others, do forgive me if I'm insulting anyone, but I just cannot understand what the heck is going on >_> I mean, I've just read that "Government of USA thinks that Americans should be prepared to face armed conflict with Russia, China blah-blah-blah"... What the hell does that supposed to mean?!!! The Trird World War?! Another Cold War?! I don't give a damn if Mr. American President, Mr. Russian President or any other Mr. President have any disagreements, but why does they involves nations and people?! I mean, I'm here, living in little peaceful Russian town, and I wanna live my little peaceful life in this insane world at least some decades more, and I definately do not want to be afraid of any kind of war! People, do you even know history? Do words "World War" have any meaning? For me, that's means nothig but pain, blood and millions of innocent victims! Hell, we live in 21 century already, why does we have some stupid barbaric wars? Are we that stupid that can't have civilized conversation?!
People, I'm here really worried about this damn world and this damn peace! I do not want to hear about any country planning "armed conflicts"! I think I'm afraid enough already, living in this world!

Well, winter vacations was great! I was in Moscow for a week. Weather in Moscow even more crasier than in Nefteyugansk - there is NO SNOW!!! It's January, but it's no snow in Moscow AT ALL!!! I even saw green grass!!! Crazyness...

Yep, BTW, I have a new crazy idea stuck in mai head... 'Bout Cosmo, Tails... plus a few fan-made seedrians... My nee-chan Kaetanna promised me to help make this crazy idea into nice anime series, 'bout 3 minutes per episode... Hope we'll make it ^-^ If not... well, at least we'll make a fanfic and lotsa pictures!

Plus, I probably won't be updated for some time. I have to STUUUDY... Hate school, really. I only hope to finish it well and pass university exams... Waaah, I'm gonna die! TT_TT

Omedettou minna-san!
I've made it! I've drawn 12 pieces of art! Sure, they're crappy and scary, but still...
Hope you like it! And thank everyone who had already faved and commented it! I love you all!

Omedettou minna-san!
Я это сделала! Нарисовала целых 12 пикч! Канешн, они жуткие и страшные, но все же...
Надеюсь, вам понравится! И пасяб всем, кто уже увидел, зафавил и откомментил! Мя вас люблю!

The weather is still crazy - the coldest temperature was about two weeks ago, and it was only -25! There is a lot of snow now, though, as if Mother Nature remembered her responsibilities in Northen towns...

Now, steel-furry asked me if I a have a new art. Well, yes I have some scetches... I wanna make some backgrounds, similar to Halloween ones. Don't be scared - I promise not to make the backround of the pic that awful

School is killing meee... I don't know what I'd prefer more - to die silently and painlessly, or to finish this fuckin' eleventh grade for once... Hate school.
I suffer from migraine. That's terrible, I have a head ache for almost 24 hours day and night! Sure, it's not that painful, but feel of a slight pain drives me crazy...


Погода все еще двинутая - самая низкая температура была почти две недели назад, и боло тогда минут двадцытьпять! Это в декабре-то! Хотя снега дофига уже, будто матушка-природа всопнила про свои обязанности в северных городах...

Еще, steel-furry спросила туть, есть ли у мя новые рисунки. Да, есть несколько сктчей... Хочу еще BG'шек наделать, как на Хэллоуин. Не бойтесь - такого жуткого фона больше не будеть

Школа мя убиваааееет... Не знаю уж, чего хочу больше - тихо и безболезненно умереть, или чтоб прямо щась юнь-месяц и конец этого гребаного одинадцатого... Ненавижу школу.
Страдаю от мигрени. Кашмар, башка болит по двадцать четыре часа в сутки! Не то чтоб ужасно больно, но от постоянной легкой боли я с ума схожу...

Well, the winter has officially started. It's quite cold outside, about 20 below frost (-24°C, actually). And there's almost no snow!!! Even the old dried grass is seen! That's impossible! Absolutely impossible! Because of the poor amount of snow my Mom is worrying about flowers, which she planted this August. She's afraid all frowers won't survive to grow on the next spring.

And yes, I'm prepairing for the New Year! Makin' some new backgrounds...


Did anyone heard Silver's theme song "Dreams of an Absolution?". Damn, I'm listening it all the time... Great vical and great lyrics, though the music doesn't fit the song well...

I'm happy. Dunno why, sometimes I just found myself smiling with no special reason... I just smiling, which is very unusual for me...

Well, the beginnig of the second term wasn't that bad. I expected something worse...
I have to study harder, though. My Mom said I would never ever play comp. games or doing computer stuff if I get any bad mark. Yes, it is justly, but very severe too.

I've already drawn some fanart, and I have even more ideas on the waiting list... But I have no time to even color any of the drawn pieces! Dunno... should I put unfinished fanart to my Scraps gallery? Well, if anyone would like to see some of them, just let me know.

*sigh* Gotta go back to my homework...
