I can't believe I let him drag me into this! A young man most likely around the age of twenty, was in the dark recesses of an ancient tomb in the old Sumerian empire, hopelessly lost. 'Unexplored tombs and riches beyond your dreams!' The man let out a deep sigh, "and I fell for it, he muttered allowed. "Fell for what?" a dry and cracked voice rang out in the utter dark of the tomb. An old man's head poked out through a hole on the floor. Even in the thin light of the torches, his exaggerated wrinkles and long, beak-like nose could still be seen clearly.
"Did you find a trap, James?" he asked excitedly, seeming to look at James in a wa

On a soft green field, shortly after dawn, a smooth, crisp mist lazily strolled over a cold layer of fresh dew. All manner of creatures could be heard from groves and shrubbery, whistling and chirping happily with the dawning of a new sun. A figure walked from over the hill, pausing just at the crest. The face of a man, young, yet full of wisdom, graceful, but stern from a long life of worry and pain, showed his face from under a forest green hood. Slowly, a thin smile emerged from his lips. "Isn't it beautiful brother?" his voice was soft and clear, seeming elegant and carefully chosen.
"Hu-a-I-wha? Oh, yeah, sure." On the ot

Well, I'll just get straight to the point. As you know from my last journal, money is not so much with the existence right now, and there are several birthdays coming up. Considering the amount of money I received on my last paycheck, I have no, And I mean NO money. So I'm sorry (reallyreallyreallyreallyreeeeeallllllly sorry! TT_TT) but I won't be able to afford gifts for anyone. Please don't kill me. T_T But because of this I don't ask for gifts for my birthday either. I just thought I would let you all know. Again, I deeply apologize for this loss.
And probbly not for a while. This journal is mostly me just being annoyed, depressed and ashamed, so if you don't want to read it the punchline is this: I will have NO money until summer. N-O-N-E
No, I didn't get fired, but all my money now has a direct destination that will not leave a penny for me until I can work a lot more hours in the summer. If I may a quote Cho-roku, "Ow, my budget! T_T" Now what I wanted to talk about this journal was calligraphy, and I don't mean Europan, I mean classic, oriental brush calligraphy with personally made ink and everything. I found a good deal online and was going to be able to afford a medium-size
I hath made another deviation! Bwahahaha!

Anyway... this one's for the FF Freaks out there. ^_^ I have translated the song One Winged Angel (aka: THE SEPHI SONG!) out of its original Latin into english. Then took that into Japanese and went all calligraphy on it. It never knew what hit it~
Me being a linguist of non-romantic languages, my Latin skills are based on crappy translators and some basic linguistic inferring. So if Usaneko/Kouhai/Rin wanna criticize my translations, be my guest. ^_^

Interesting work you've done with calligraphy and text. As a suggestion, I say work with text more, make pictures from it, bend text and see what you can get out of it.
