The Decision

Fri, 21 Dec 2007 03:20:04 GMT

Well, I have decided to create a new journal.

And because I did it late last night, I just used my mom's suggestion.

If you're looking for me the new on is:

ebolaroo

Alright, that's it.

What To Do?

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 23:55:07 GMT

Oh what to do...

I'm thinking about starting over with a new LJ, this on'e so OLD.

The only problem is there are somethings that I want to keep from this, but, I think it would be better if I copy pasted them and then just started over, everything I have now is new and I've kind of lost on this side, but hey.

It would also help me not feel guilty for not wanting to post all my art on it.

So yeah, that's it.

help me think of usernames.

I think I'll do it, now...
My mom said ebolaroo, and that could be it.

Haha, ebola and a kangaroo

IMAGE DUMP!

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 05:08:51 GMT

These is my pictures fom the scanner parties last night!

These are my people and the only respectable drawings from the origional My Life Binder, now My Life I.

Enjoy!

as you can see they are all FMA, but I have been out of that fandom for a whilae now and with PoT you can use your own style of fanart... I don't really do it much though anymore...

This is the second My Life book, and has the most work in it so far out of the current three.
I also first used my markers in this collection.

we will begin with the Run Run Run Series.
yes, this is a fake animation.

Then the Zodiac Series

Capricorn

Aquarius

Pisces Blue and Green(scanner issues)

I have to go, but hopefully soon, (maybe vacation next week) I can finish uploading all of them, if you just can't wait to see them ALL of them are up on my facebook, the link is in my userinfo.

Snow Day

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 04:21:29 GMT

Hi all,

I really haven't been doing much updating, but I've been busy;
1) Christmas Shopping
2) Homework
3) A bird(but that's my fault)
4) Swimming
5) The TWO scanner parties in one day
6) Figuring out deviant art, photoshop and, corel painter (that won't save anything for some reason)
7) Rikkai Second Service and Backstage
8) The Golden Compass books
9) Facebook, AIM, fanfics on the flist
10) laziness

All in all some pretty fabulous reasons huh?
no.
Well I must say, my LJ is my home and I by far the online "express yourself" thing that I love the most, I don't have very many friends though and will have to fix that soon. I really do need to get out more on this site.

This is the basic picture of my life right now:

Prince of Tennis is my life right now, swimming has TAKEN over my life right now, I just got a bird(in august but hey, whatever), my cat has serious jealousy issues, and yeah, I'm doing pretty good, I like where I am right now.

There you have it

Long Time No See?

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 22:46:44 GMT

Hi all, I'm not dead and I finally have a functioning computer!

So everyone's ok, Sora is going through his first molt, so that's exciting. I love my bird.

Bitzy's having a few problems, but I think she's been eating her food too fast and that's the reson she can't keep anything down. Miles got his hair cut, it's amusing. Um, I don't hink anything else is going on right now aside from a small rant, but I'll hide that.

So in Chinese, the teacher lets us talk during class and I overheard Meghan saying that her dad said that AIDS was a man-made virus dating from the post Cold War Era...
I don't think so.
But When I said that she tried to tell me about the a testing phase in which a GAY guy sexed a monkey(infected with an AIDS microbe) and then went on to airplane stewardists, and BAM, pandemic!
Again, I don't think so.
Yes but, AIDS in probably one of the most terrible things to die of.
No, I'm sorry it's not, ever hear of a little thing called Filoviridae? No? Oh, then allow me to explain, 12-18 days of incubation, a brain DESTROYING headache for 7 days, all conective tissue dissapears, throw-up consisting of black gritty mucus and blood. And that's not even the worst, you have a few tiny nosebleeds, and your platelet count drops dramatically. CRASH! You have a massive siezure linked with your wish-it-was-a-migraine-headache, simultaneaously you ae hemorrhaging out of every orifice you have, mouth, eyes, nipples, penis, vagina, ears, nose, everywhere, and because of the seizure, your throwing massive amounts of contagious agents everywhere. Ebola, the absolute worst way to go.
If man was going to engineer a virus, they would only want a disease that would harm other people, not their people.

AIDS has no ties to any virus known, it is an immunodefinciency disease, altogether a bad disease but people can live with it. There is only one known survivor of Ebola, just a one. I think that AIDS was given to man in a desperate blood transfusion, not to mention post Cold war scientists did not have the biotech power to pull off a full scale microbial mutation/synthesis.
Alright, the virus freak is done

Okay I can function now.

Report Cards

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 23:49:17 GMT

I hate Mr. Spezzano.
My mom is so mad about that chem grade. I have all A's on the tests, a full score on my notebook, I participate as much as he'll allow in class so how do I wind up with a fucking B+?

My latin teacher never gives us our quizzes back so I have no idea how to study and get better from previous mistakes.

Math is self explanatory.

And my mom is attacking me over my english grade. It's Ms. McCourt, what can I do?

Of course, she TOTALLY overlooks the A+ in Chinese, an amazing improvement over last year's C's.

Oh and apparently 3.5/5 parts of the history project (soon to be 4) is sitting around doing nothing.

I hate my life

not having a very nice day, if we were graded on effort I would get approbation.

Mon, 10 Jul 2006 01:07:19 GMT

Well I'm back... whoo who.

Well it was awsome really it was, I can't even begin with how graet those two weeks were... the con, pacific at 9:30, and realizing just how much the infamous Peegee-sama can do to you. I came home and she hid and it took 3 hours for me to find her, but once I did I wasn't allowed out of her sight, I'm still under her supervision at this moment.

Tomorrow marks one of the best days of my life, The lab, wish me luck.

Here's a conversation for you just to see how wierd I am.

Mom: Have you ever seen that show about the Little Peaople?

Pam: OH yeah I love that show!

(A bit later)

Mary: Hey Mariah, how does that happen if both parents are normal?

Me: Well it's a sporadic autosomal recessive trait, so basically, you have two copies of one protien, and one is good and the other is bad, you have a child with a person who has the same condition (you don't know they do, no way to tell) and your child gets both bad copies, so the mutation is comlete and bam achondroplasmia, hereditary sporadic autosomal recessive trait.

Mary: OK

Me: I can tell exactly what the mutation is, but it's very technical...
It's a protien deficiency in the fibroblast 5 growth factor.

Well bye I'm really not having a great day...

Sun, 18 Jun 2006 21:12:18 GMT

ATTENTION:
ALRIGHT I"VE GOT A BABY BIRD HERE THAT NEEDS HELP. I KNOW ENOUGH TO SAFELY SAY IT"S LEG IS BROKEN AND IT NEEDS REST. IF ANYONE HAS ANY ADVICE PLEASE GIVE IT TO ME, FOR THOSE WHO KNOW MY PHONE NUMBER CALL< NOT THE CELL THOUGH IT"S DEAD I"M HAVE LIKE A MINOR ANHIRISM SO IT WOULD BE NICE TO TALK TO SOMEONE!

Wed, 14 Jun 2006 00:15:12 GMT

UGGG... I want sumer, now! Well whatever the set we were told to make looks awsome cuz everyone who worked on it was awsome!! so we're all happy. I had my latin declamation and that went well!

Introduction
Hello my name is Mariah and today I will be declaming Annaeus Seneca's Quaestiones Naturales, Liber Primus, Parte Tres.
Quaestiones Naturales, Liber Primus, Parte Tres is about how people in power should be able to admit thier mistakes without losing the trust of the people.

Quaestiones Naturales, Liber Primus, Parte Tres
equidem tunc naetrea rerum... blah blah blah.

so yeah, my mom's coming home form Washington tomorrow, dadmn, naw we really miss her... ... ... yeah...

Anyway, ther's really not much else to say except could someone please give me somthing to draw that's not a person... please, I'm really uninspired...

Fri, 09 Jun 2006 02:21:17 GMT

HARVARD MEDICAL BEGAN TO CLONE HUMAN STEM CELLS!!!!! AND I'M GOING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE REASEARCH!!!!

tHIS IS AMAZING BECAUSE THE PART OF THE LAB i'M IN IS THE ORGAN GENESIS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIKE HEART RUPTURE, AND LIVER FAILURE. IT'S LIKE TAKING A BUNCH OF CELLS OUT OF EMBRYOS, AND MAKING THEM GROW AT HYPERSPEED BY GETTING MORE mRNA'S INTO THE CELLS SO THAT THE REPLICATION PROCESS CAN BE DONE FASTER. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS... HMM... WELL LIKE YOU KNOW HOW IN FMA AL IS ALL SPECIAL BECAUSE USUALLY SOULS REJECT A FOREIGN VESSEL? WELL IT'S THE SAME WITH ORGAN GENESIS, THE IMMUNE SYSTEM SEES THE NEW ORGAN AS A THREAT AND ATTACKS IT. SO I'M PROBABLY GOING TO BE FIGURING OUT WHY AND HOW TO STOP THAT FROM HAPPENING. BUT I HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY MENTOR YET SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT I'LL BE DOING BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO WITH THE ORGAN GENESIS AND STEM CELL CLONING THING... O WELL

oh and if you think you've got skin problems check out this poor person with a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis.
http://www.pathguy.com/lectures/neurofibromatosis.jpg

O god that poor person, at least they don't hurt...

Support...Please???

Wed, 07 Jun 2006 23:55:45 GMT

Uggh... Today was abosolutely horrible, we had our math final, and it's not like it was very hard but my class got sliced so we didn't have enough time, a five question test, forty-five minutes alloted, and we got about twenty minutes to a half hour, only one person in my class finished, and I'm really depending on the final to bring up my grade. I read the math book for three fricken straight hours!!!! I'm pretty POed about another thing I got a warning notice in math and I wanted to know what my grade was, Mr. Waetherby being the asshole that he is exploded at me. So my mom asked me why I got the warning notice I say, hey my grade, what's your grade I don't know and she explodes!!! Then to top it all off I find out Meghan(S) lives right down the street, as does Julianna!!! My god why does the universe hate me!!!!!!! Back to reason two being pissed about warning notices, k so julianna, alison, and kaitlyn all sit around me, kaitlyn's fine but the other two god they don't like me, so whenever we have classwork I seem to be the only one who knows what's going on with my apparent D average, now J and A follow the cliche stupid popular girl thing goin' on. So they always ask me questions, I don't mind because explaining something to someone makes you understand things better, right so anyway, I don't get how I know what I'm doing I'm studying for my life I don't do anything social over weekends and my bag is fricken huge, and I get a warning notice and these two who mooch off me no matter how little information I give them get to pass the term. WHY!

Ever hear the saying if you try you succeed, yeah well whoever made that up doesn't know me. I guess this whole thing started in fourth grade, and I lost all confidence in myself, and I don't have any to this day. Example: Sure the lab will be fun and I really am looking forward to it, but am I really up to it, me at a medical school level... no, I know I'm going to screw up, i just know it. Yeah lab was supposed to help me get confidence now it's just making me second guess myself. And it doesn't help when people yell at me for animal testing, IT'S NOT MY FUCKING FAULT IF I'M GOING TO HAVE TO USE ANIMALS, I DON'T WANT TO, BUT THIS IS BEST OPPORTUNITY I'VE EVER GOTTEN IN MY FREAKIN LIFE AND i'D APPRIECIATE IT IF PEOPLE WOULD BE A BIT MOR SUPPORTIVE, I DON'T WANT TO BE DOUBLE TAKING MYSELF ALONG WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE POKING FUN AT WHAT I LIKE, "AMERICA IS FAILING SCIENCE!!!!!"
It's true we really are and that's why I want to go into it, the lab I'l be working at is working to help find a cure for cancer so that the next time someone's dad gets cancer(tina) We WILL be able to save them.

All I'm asking for is a little more support from people that's all. Well that and to stop poking fun at my love of science.

I have this cough, I've had it for two weeks now, this is the third. IT WONT FREAKIN GO AWAY!!!! I want it to leave so I can swim and don't have to worry about taking my medicine.
Well genetics can't really explain this one.

Sun, 04 Jun 2006 02:12:24 GMT

I now own skirts... and my mom is evil.... kill me...

Mon, 29 May 2006 02:50:00 GMT

Guess who cannot talk no more doo da do da, guess who cannot talk no more doo da doo da day! doo da doo da day! doo da doo da day! doo da doo da doo da day!
O yes well that was wonderful I'll have to audition for a silent movie... I have to write out what I want to say on a pad of paper we went to ANIME BOSTON AND IT WAS FRICKIN' AWSOME!!!!!!! We went on Friday I got sick we went home, I sweated ot the fever then went to the next two days of the screamathon and well I can't talk no more. so well bye...

Wed, 24 May 2006 22:03:38 GMT

My life's really boring now... but on the upside I can translate Latin near perfect... but on the down side I never know how it happens because I just make it up as I go along...

Well, I have a load of crap to do this weekend, ELA pictures, Math column project, chinese project, Latin Declamation, and I hope to god that's all, but Ive already started the Chinese, and part one of the Math... oh and ELA too, I just need the pictures...so I guess I'm pretty well0-along I mean everything's half done...Right? Well OI have to work some more so yeah bye, and wil people comment a little more, I mean god could ya just say like maybe Hi? I mean jesus christ...

Fri, 19 May 2006 23:39:13 GMT

Please you guys, watch these, I love the little things!!!!!!

It's only DNA Replication movies and even if you don't like science, They just look like little puffballs, there's no explanation, just the visual, so please, watch them???!!!

http://www.wehi.edu.au/education/wehi-tv/dna/movies/Replication_BL.mov

http://www.wehi.edu.au/education/wehi-tv/dna/movies/Replication_BR.mov

http://www.wehi.edu.au/education/wehi-tv/dna/movies/Replication_F.mov

http://www.wehi.edu.au/education/wehi-tv/dna/movies/Replication_AB.mov

AWWWW!! aren't they just adorable!!!

Ok, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WATCH THOSE, THEN YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS!!!!!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Pj9cdVeIntY&search=DNA%20Replication

this was made for High schoolers so it's in simple terms, it's just fun to watch, you don't have to listen to what the woman is saying, although it could help for people taking bio...

Tue, 16 May 2006 21:27:08 GMT

Finally, I finished a really long 35 chapter fanfic that I've been working on for about a week!

Well we had math MCAS today... it was like fourth grade math god, adding fractions?! Tomorrow we have science, everyone's spazzing over it, not me though, science is one of the few things I get, yeah. But sometimes I hate it, if the fact that having next to no scientific experience, opening up a medical school book without prior research does not scream FREAK then I don't know what does... But like I wish people would care a little more, I mean this has to be the ABSOLUTE BEST THING BESIDES FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST that's ever happened to me! Jeez can I have some respect, or a little more entusiasm! I think, and tell me if I'm wrong, that I've tried pretty hard to be ethusiastic when you're excited about something. I mean maybe you do care and stuff but like when Shadow died it was like five minutes of sandess and not another thought, same with Steph, about a day or so and not another word. I don't really mind right now, I've just be holding in soooooo many emotions right now. Imean if it was the SECOND time you've been forgotten and CHEATED by a bunch of people *cough* swim team *cough*(they decided that because they don't like me they give Claudia credit for A,B,and C age group records, then not give me the plaque I deserve for shattering both the A and B record before she swam a swim she will never be able to again and my time was a solid 27 that I proved by swimming it numerous times and since I broke my record first they were all you don't get credit for the A's cuz it's not your age group. Then they turn around give it to Claudia BECAUSE EVERYBODY LOVES CLAUDIA< and she is a good person and I have nothing against her that last remark was for the people who are doing this,l and when I leave the team will finally realize that I kept the B's from losing!!!! anyway, so they lie to me tell me they forgot my plaque will give it to me later then I find out that they didn't even buy one and that they thought I would forget)If you were me I think you'd try to be noticed a little more. And I wish that before people look into my Notebook, they don't just flip to the middle and not understand, read it from the begining it builds on itself. Maya J. read it from the begining, and even though I had to explain a few things she was interested. And My Life is on hold right now because I have no inspiration, and I need to get as much genetcis as I can into my head before the school years end because then I'm real busy and the lab is right after I get back from California. I just don't feel like drawing right now. So everyone will just have to wait, cuz I'm leaving my life at home but for when inspiration strikes I will have paper. And Justine, stella might have to be a bit older, I'm sorry but I just can't draw nine-year-olds, and I have been trying! So please tell me if maybe a 14/15 year old Stella is okay! Well that's all for now I have to wake up Chizu...

Tue, 16 May 2006 00:28:10 GMT

Well we got a new hamster! She's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute! And she's really tiny and has lots of fuzz! YAY Her name is Chizu and she's CRAZY!

I'm not supposed to be on the comp right now so bye!

Sat, 13 May 2006 22:26:59 GMT

Well, my 'boss' just called, about stuff I have to wear. Yeah labcoat, close-toed shoes, blah. I love irony that I'll have lab paperwork for the plane.

Well today I got new boots, they were in the back-packing section so they're all comfy because backpackers need foot support.

Well, now I've got three-pages of notes in a little notebook my uncle sent me for taking notes in, so far the book is all how DNA's double helix is copied by the single-stranded RNA, not that complicated...for me... shut up, I'm wierd.

It's really pretty interesting, I'm really just studying cloning for now and how genetic traits are passed around. Ha, they're talking about making fully functional people in the near future called genetic engineering.

Well enough rambling bye!

Fri, 12 May 2006 22:29:03 GMT

Well I am going to be working in the lab, I already have my first medical book!!!!!! It's a genetics book and i think at some piont I will be reading the scientific piont of view of sex...great...

Well on the safety course I got an 18/20, the ones I got wrong were who are the safety people, (EH&S) what is thier website. But other than that I did real well. I'm getting my white card at some piont next week, and then I have admittance for the year!!! well not much else is goin' on so yeah.

Oh, and we might be getting a new hammstetr this weekend! I can't live without a hamster, it just makes me feel better...

Mon, 08 May 2006 23:29:44 GMT

Well, In Memoriam, I dug up the entry where I first got shadow, almost two years ago.... I wanna cry...... She's always running around in her cage when I'm in the office...... I feel different without her around,

Pets
The petstore that we went to didn't have Dwarf Bunnies, The turtles bite, and my dad didn't want a Guinea Pig, so we got our fourth hamster, Shadow. Shadow is a female black bear hamster and she's active, but sweet.

SHADOW WE MISS YOU AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!!!! ;_;

Mon, 08 May 2006 00:55:24 GMT

Shadow died today.

Her lungs filled up with fluid and they came out her nose clogging her trachea. I got them clear, by then she went into convulsions and died... in my hand...

I know I did all I could with my level of medical understanding, but, I brought her back the first time... So, why when I did the same thing did she die?

I held and pet her body for almost an hour after... she died in my hand... my hand... She was fine this morning, I played with her, and, and I fed her.... I, I feel like, I don't know, that I could've saved her, that, I didn't do enough, she gave up, and she just died... in my hand...

Tue, 02 May 2006 22:11:40 GMT

Okay... This is what my waking mind has become, aside from all that awsome science crap, I love, we have... the perverted part.

Proof:
Today in math M.r weatherby asked us for an example of a real live exponetial funtion...

Bunnies...

Asuming each has two, you start with 2, 4,8,16,32,64, and so on...

Wow that's ad, Bunnies?!

Holy Fucking Christ! A Real Scientific lab!!!

Sat, 29 Apr 2006 00:12:15 GMT

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be working in that lab!!! Harvard Med Genetics lab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!

The interview went well I'm going to be assigned to someone, and be working with dna and micro-biological science!!!!!!!!! And maybe even chemistry!!!

I'll even be able to get into Harvard Med Free, after hours!!!!!! I'll be able to do all sorts of things, including genetic mutations in mouse embryos!

To think, I'll be working in a state of the art genetic lab, full of scientists, and be contributing to stem-cell embryotic research to help people who've lost limbs or had heart rupture of liver failure! I'm really supposed to be 16, but they really want me to work there, Dr. Maas told me he was 'amazed' at my 'scientific genius,' I just watch Forensic Files and read magazines. I'm no genius, and if like math is in science, I can do it, but if it's just math I can't do it. Man do I have loww self-esteem... o well. But seriously, 'scientific genius'? Sue I could keep up with what he was saying... but genius? Me? Who would think that I'm a genius? Average at most, I mean I barely pass math, no I'm no genius.

BUT STILL I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY, AREAL LAB, AND IT'S PACKED WITH ALL KINDS OF THINGS! ETHANOL, EVEN THALLIUM!!!!! THALIUM, THE ONLY ELEMENT POTENT ENOUGH TO KEEP AHEAD OF MEDICINE, PUTTING YOU IN TWO FULL YEARSD OF PAIN AND INSANITY, BEFORE KILLING YOU!!!!!! AND THEY'VE GOT IT! AGAIN, THE ONLY PIOSON SO MINISCULE AN AMOUNT TO KILL YOU, THAT IT DOESN'T EVEN SHOW UP ON A GASTROSPECTROLOGICAL TEST!!!!!!

I'm PSYCED!!!!(that's the understatement of the millenia!) I want it to be summer NOW!!!!!!!!!

Wed, 26 Apr 2006 22:54:49 GMT

Ok, looking back at what I wrote yesterday, the what I meant was that I don't like it when people see the chained or dying things I draw, and just say I don't like it, or see something cute and be like ooo it's sooooo cute, I guess yesterday everything came out wrong. I don't mind when you get like augh Mariah it has no hands! When people see something that looks like well, take Grief, when I started drwing I wanted it to look like that, I found the quote, liked and decided to draw something for it, and that's how I wanted it to come out. But then someone sees it screams aaaaaa it has no face! and is all I don't like it *Krystal* That's what I meant, I really like it when it's critisized and I'm sorry for screwing up that point yesterday. I really just want people to see the meaning and all the little hints I drop about how they feel. I draw what I feel like at that moment, and I know this sounds sappy but it's true, my little creations get chained up because that's how I feel sometimes. For me, the reason why that binder is my life is because it's like a collection of my feelings. I can't draw somethig happy if I'm sad. And that's why I like to look at other people's drawings, their like little doors into that person, writing is the same way. I don't really look for quality, I just look at feelings, that's why I personally cannot draw what people tell me too, I have to wait 'til I feel right to do the best job. That's why Chelsea, I haven't give you your birthday present yet.

And it would be best if people read my little notes!

Tue, 25 Apr 2006 23:08:24 GMT

Well, now, after having my eye be a ookified, and the fact I can't see anything aside from blobs of color. I'm being sent to school tomorrow... it's not contagious, it's the viral one, not the bacterial one... Well it's goina suck.... I mean my declamation and everything, I hate getting up in front of people on any normal day let alone one where I'm half blind...

GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish that this had hit maybe tomorrow my only hope of not making a fool of myself is to magically get a fever, which won't happen, cuz my body doesn't function, that's how you know that I'm very ill, I'll either have a fever or throw up...

I'm not really worried about my memorization of my declamation, more the presentation. And it does not amuse when you guys poked fun at it this morning. I can't write and according to Mr. Byron I can't draw either. I'm seriously sick of people looking at my art and picking out every little thing about it! I mean I work really hard on those and never once, from anybody, have I gotten a just plain good job, I usually get somrthing like it's good but-insert flaw-. I really don't mind constructive criticism, but it's every little thig! On every single one! I don't want to be mean but this is something I've been meaning to say. To put you into my perspective it's like if say i came up and threw I don't know, your child I guess, out a four story building and it was crippled for the rest of its life.

And I know you guys don't mean to and that your just trying to help, and I apprciate that, but I just wish that for once I was not looked on as a B ranked artist.

Well ok everybody that was very tough to try to get out without leaving bad feelings, I tried really hard to not hurt feelings. K Bye!
