AND NOW I KNOW, NOW I KNOW, NOW I KNOW,

I KNOW THAT IT'S YOU~

YOU'RE LUCKY LUCKY, YOU'RE SO LUCKY~

CONCERT RAMBLING GO!~

--------------------

So we got to London in good time and had to navigate the Underground during rush hour. A lil' scary, with all the people, but it was an experience.

Me and my mum decided to get McDonalds over Wagamama noodles because I got really desperate for good seats. So we wondered the streets near to the academy, having to ignore people saying "Need tickets for Franz Ferdinand? Buying and selling!"

Seriously, who goes to the arena without tickets? You're just taking a massive risk; what if you don't get any tickets? You'd be gutted. :C Thank god we bought us weeks in advance.

Anyway, we joined a MASSIVE queue to get into the arena once the doors opened at 7pm. Because my mum could prove she had an O2 phone, we got into a higher priority queue and got in earlier. SCORE!! 8D

So yeah, we got up to the higher circle and found a couple of really good seats. Because no-one sat in front of me for a couple of rows, I could clearly see the stage. :3

The opening act came on..they weren't bad. I forgot their name though. XD Musical Music or something really original like that. But anyway, they weren't bad.

Once, I left for the toilet and then came back, only to find a lot more people than I remember being seated. I panicked and thought I'd lost my mum. Even though she was waving and flashing her phone at me. It wasn't helped by the fact the supporting band were playing and a security guard approached me and told me I HAD to sit down. (And trust me; those security guards were pissy. Because of the seats we had, no-one could stand up. And if anyone did; they'd be shouted at until they sat down again. That worked to my advantage because I'm short.) But anyway, I found my mum. xD

Even though the doors opened at 7pm, Franz Ferdinand didn't turn up on stage until roughly 9:30. XD The wait was so frustrating. But when they turned up, man, everyone knew it. The crowd standing up on lower levels roared and screamed. The crowd upstairs? They were close to static and silent though the whole performance; how depressing.

The audience could've been a thousand times more appreciative; I'm upset about the reaction some gave; nothing. :C
This one girl in front of me had come with her friend, who just spent the whole concert using Facebook on her phone. So she'd look up at me and my mum shouting along to the songs and dancing in our seats and smile. Poor girl. <:C

ANYWAY, even though I thought I'd get overwhelmed by the music, I got used to it quickly (thanks to the supporting band) and the light-show. VERY BRIGHT! O8 But so awesome; not a show for those with even very weak photo epilepsy. I just watched in amazement. XDDD

The show was impeccably awesome. I'm STILL having trouble telling myself it wasn't a dream. The jamming sessions Franz Ferdinand had in between songs showed how really tight the guys are; I love those guys SO much <3>D

What jamming sessions you ask? Something like that. XD The whole band got the drum kit up the front of the stage and just started jamming. It sounded..AWESOME 8D I was amazed at how all the band contributed to it.

Then they all left. For..I dunno, five minutes? Before coming back to do an encore. >3>

I'm gonna list my favourite songs that they played last night.

>Do You Want To (Opening song; I screamed when they started playing this)
>Bite Hard
>Take Me Out
>This Fire
>The Dark Of The Matinée
>Tell Her Tonight
>Jacqueline
>Outsiders
>Walk Away
>Michael
>Ulysses (ADDICTED TO THIS SO BADLY XDD)

..That's all I can remember. xDD And that is how I finish this post. Before I go though; I will leave you with my favourite photo that I took last night.

Alex Kapranos- Vocals and guitar
Nick McCarthy- Rhythm guitar and keyboard
Bob Hardy- Bass guitar
Paul Thomson- drums, percussion and backing vocals

I'd LOVE to see those guys again. 83 But until then..
LONG LIVE FRANZ FERDINAND!! :D

Once Upon A Time

In a land far far away, two kingdoms constantly rivalled each-other for supremacy.
This story comes from the sole heiress of one of those kingdoms, as she watches her siblings on the other side of the border.
They lived with the mother in Randomonia.
The sole heiress lived with the father in the other kingdom; the kingdom of Seriousville.

There was war and blah blah blah. People died, people lived, people were so happy they lived they would drag their husbands/wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/fiancés/partners out of the streets and.. >w> Lalalalaaaaa~ /shot (couldn't resist xD)

Seriousville conquered all and kicked ass! C: See Dad, I can do this crap too!!~
Sorry guys, that's the best intro I could think of. I want an awesome/serious princess dress idea to pixel now. Wouldn't that be epic?

ANYWAYSSSSSSSS, I needed to update. Again. Lol.

• Tommorow. I'm going to see Franz Ferdinand. AIEEEEEE!!! <3333333 My favourite alternative/guessyoucouldcallitmainstream band. And Alex Kapranos rocks my socks. I have a seated place because if I ended up getting a standing ticket and got squashed and freaked out..bad experience for my first concert, right? So yeah, I'm taking the safest option. XD
  
• Bought the £65 commission. Gonna get it done A3 sized and framed and hellyeahman. Ehehehe~ I wonder want my parents will think when they see its of..well..*ahem* well it's DeiAzu. D And there's that stupid grin of mine again. Silly me. xDD But yeah, I'm stupidly excited. I can't wait until I start seeing WIPs. Man, I'm gonna giggle like the stupid little fangirl I am. And I know it. x3
  
• Got my first keyring commission from LuAnne. AND OMG, EEEEEEE!! :D Nali and Midnight both look fabulous~ And seeing them in my hands instead of on the screen just makes it that little more special, if you know what I mean. I mean, it's not like the art pieces I print off. This will always be with me. LIEK A TATTOO. C<
  
• Speaking of tattoos, I'm designing one. For a reason mind you and not for myself; my darling friend Mandi from school is planning on getting a tattoo on her foot. How? Well I hope she has parental consent. >3> The theme is of cherry blossoms and she gave me some excellent preferences over Twitter. C: And she said she wanted something to remember me by, so to be quite honest I'm touched. Really touched.
  So tommorrow I'll be designing stuff for her, and maybe over the holiday as well. Along with homework. And along with...
  
• Emma is going on holiday!! 8D Off to Looe in Cornwall again for four nights with the rest of the Baker Clan. (we eat Uchihas for breakfast ;P) It's a family tradition..and my mum hates it, lol. But at least we're not camping this time. Right? My dad cooks, (oh god wow) me and my sister share a room (2am bed-times here we come) and mornings sitting at the rock pools at 6am watching the sun rise. D A beautiful sight, I tell ya.
  But don't you worry your pretty little heads guys; the apartment I'm staying in has wi-fi. So Emma (3rd person is the new 1st person) will still be here. 8D
  ...
  QUIT YA CRYING FOOL! >:U

O is for "Oh Emma, What Have You Done Now?"

Just to keep track on some things; liiiike, what pictures I'm owed and stuff. Maybe some other things as well.

Not to apply pressure, but just so I remember. That's all. c:

• Picture from Adori (MarcoxDani; Nanairo OCs)
• Art-Trade from Ben (Hala for Kristie)
• 3 Request images from Fera (I need an idea for Livianna; and two different ideas)
• 3 Chibi Commissions from Xenelle (MarcoxDani and Ganesa)
• Art-Trade from Lavi (DeidaraxAzumi for HidanxPersona)
• Keyring Commission from LuAnne (Midnight and Nali+DeiAzu/EdLu)
• Commission from Mongrel (DeidaraxAzumi)

And that last one alone is costing me £55 (aka $95). It'd be even more expensive if I kept my original plans.

Now, before anyone starts to wonder if Emma has gone mad, let me say this. >D
I've spent more money than this in lone situations. One of them involved me, my debit card and some lingerie. xD Let's just say my parents were shocked. Very very shocked. But hey! I WANTED IT! D: And as my video-game loving vampire, Meem, would say; "if it's there and you want it, it's only a matter of taking it."
And if I could, I'd like to spend £75 on one lone designer t-shirt in town. XD This commission will mean a lot more to me than clothing (because that's the way my brain works) and I plan on printing it off professionally on A3 paper and maybe frame it. Maybe.

My dad has no room to talk here. He has recently spent $4000 on art prints; he can shut the fucking hell up. He has no right to tell me I'm not spending too much. >C It's my money, fool.
But at least my mummy is on my side. I'm so happy I told her; now I don't feel like I'm doing something seriously bad.

But after this, no more commissions for a while. XDDD

So yeah, what's this idea of mine, you ask? Well I've decided to say. Why not, right? <.<
I've decided to snip some bits and pieces out the notes me and Mongrel had flying between us so you have a clear idea what to expect with this. So here goes nothing! 8D

The idea I have in my head is of Deidara and Azumi kissing, whilst trying to remove each-other's cloaks. Azumi would be sat on Deidara's lap, (in all fairness, she would put herself there; some of you may know how the self-proclaimed Miss Mean and Hurtful works) with her hair down, whilst Dei' is sat at the foot of a bed of some-sort. The scene would be set late at night, so the light source for the piece would come from lanterns outside the window behind the couple. The room itself will have quite a traditional theme; after some talking, I decided to link it back to an unreleased fanfic I have. (Long story short; they decide to spend a night at an inn before they return back to base from a mission and things get frisky. Ahahaaa~)
We've agreed this is gonna be a pretty "hot" picture, (SCORE!) and after much consideration, I've decided to go for a waist-up image. Mongrel says "It lets the "camera" zoom in for a closer shot of the good stuff." Heeeeee~ /shot

But yeah, maybe some of you will understand why I have a majorly major good feeling about this. I'm debating whether or not I want progress shots of the commish..yes? No? Hmm..it's a tricky call. XD

FINAL UPDATE PART; YAY! 8D

I'm planning on working on Meem. Like, design wise and everything. I'd love to give her a cameo appearance in Looming Promise or something. PLUS; she is my dear little vampire. I want to show Stephanie Meyer how it's done. THAT'S RIGHT BITCH! >C

112/115 (Point maxinum for Special Jounin; what I think Azumi's rank would be if she stayed in Iwagakure)


Five Bonus Facts:
1. Azumi's fight style is based heavily on the Korean sport of Taekwondo. She doesn't focus on the full-out strength concept, but on her speed and agility; being able to fire flying kicks should she be forced into close combat. Her legs are far stronger than her arms.
Despite this; Azumi hates close combat and a well-aimed hit to her stomach will send her fying.

2. Her favourite food of all time is sliced fugu puffer-fish. This dish is difficult to prepare as fugu puffer fish are dangerously poisonous. Azumi cannot prepare this dish herself and rarely eats it because of that.

3. Flexibility is something Azumi practises a lot in her spare time; relating back to her fighting style. She is NOT, however, contortionistic. (HAH, she wishes)

4. Azumi has no plans to get married or have children; the thought of it makes her feel older than she wants to. Her opinion on children alone is unknown. HER CRACK STORY does include a son she has; Makoto. Azumi doesn't like her son being out of her sight.

5. Azumi prefers male company to female; due to bad experiences she had with fellow Iwa kunoichi when she young. This also explains why she rarely socialises with Konan within the organisation, even when she has the chance.

Update Update Updaaaate~

'Cause it's needed needed needeeeeeed
Update update updaaaaaate
TIIIIIIME~ /shot :C

Okay, time for real life news. (ooooh~)

• Made a new friend. I found out he liked me. Like, like-like me I became overjoyed that someone liked me that way; it was kinda like a ginormous confidence boost. Then I got confused. And thought I was crushing on him.
  
  He asked me out on Thursday. And..my stomach twisted itself in so many knots. I felt sick. Bad memories of the past came back. I said no. He got upset. I got upset; I thought I'd lost an awesome friend. Y'know, one of those rare offline ones you think you actually have something in common with.
  
  He called me later that evening. After an hour of talking, we agreed to be remain friends. Once I put my phone down, I was so relieved, I burst into tears. C": I find it a little awkward to be around him, as expected. But yeah.
  
  
• I got contact lenses today. They're seriously cool and I quickly got used to putting them in. Taking them out? A little..difficult. XD My eyes were a little red and watery, lol. BUT I WILL GET IT. I SWEAR IT.
  Dad had to help put in the eye drops as well, lol. <3 Thank you daddy~
  
  
• Speaking of the King of Seriousville, (I can has throne one day? 8D) he asked me what I could remember from my childhood. I let a few tears slip out; all I could think of was school trouble I had when I was younger.
  
  Y'know, bullying and that shit. I couldn't remember that much about home-life. I DO remember my mum reading from a poetry book to me at bedtime. :) What a good book~
  Anyway, dad told me I don't have to grow up so quickly. And said he won't kick me out when I'm 18. Moar relief. :DDDD
  
  lol, then we talked about how annoying being the eldest child could be. XD At least you understand, daddy.

Okay, all done with that. XD I now need to share something; pfffff
ImayhaveaHetaliaOcxCanonpairingPLEASESHOOTME. D":

BLAME ALEX; IT'S ALL HER FAULT! >:U
But anyway, after doing some research, I have come to the conclusion that it'd be logical to pair Alexandra with Francis. Well..somewhat.

Read this: "For centuries French culture had exercised profound influence on Romania, which viewed itself as France's special friend in Eastern Europe. President de Gaulle's visit in 1968 reaffirmed this feeling of amity. But during the 1980s, human rights abuses, the poor performance of French-Romanian joint ventures, and unfair Romanian trade practices (including the dumping of steel) poisoned the relationship." Sooo, they may have had something special, but things turned sour and they broke up? D:

Buuuut, by reading some forums, it seems that Romania and France have a really REALLY "love and peace" (love you say? Hurr >:3) relationship.
So they have had a serious love-life in the past, but now they continue to be really close friends or something. I mean, they MUST be friends. AT LEAST

I mean, in WW2, Romania never attacked Britain and France and only focused on Russia (SO FUCK YOU, IVAN
IT MAKES SENSE IN MY HEAD GAIZ. SO THERE!! >C And I know APH fans will burn me at the stake if I do anything too outrageous. So, sshhhhhh~

SCHOOL AIN'T COOL

WHO YOU FOOLIN' MAN?

MY MOMMA DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOL!

...

YOU DID NOT JUST DISS MY MOMMA!

OH YEAH?!

YOUR MOMMA'S SO STUPID, SHE PUTS LIPSTICK ON HER HEAD

JUST TO 'MAKE UP' HER MIND!! >D

That's right, I went there bruv. -gangster pose-

But, I'm serious now. Today, I told my mum that I thought today was the start of half term. It felt like last week was tiring/boring/lame enough to count as a whole month as school. Wait, more than a month.

Half term isn't until 23rd October. WHEN I GO TO SEE FRANZ FERDINAND WITH MY MUM! :D

I know what you're thinking; "pfft, your mum? lol, you loser" WELL YOU'RE WRONG! >:U My mum rules; she's probably my best friend offline. I don't feel embarassed about my anime/drawing loves around my mum and I actually know she won't go bitching about anything. Plus, she's a Franz fan too. :3 And the tickets were a birthday gift from her. LOL, I nearly wrote "bitchday" there. XD wtf?

Oh look everyone, I'm spamming you with more commissions. Well..not yet.

I am commissioning someone and I have the WIP but I decided, just now, to be a little mean and make you all wait to see the finished project. Heehee~ If you honestly want to see it; send me a message (MSN or dA note saying; I'm sorry Emma, I WAS THE ONE who stole the brandy; now stop slapping Hobo with that trout. NOW!)

And of course, if you don't like DeiAzu; don't bother. I rather stop you now then have you get pissed at me. I AM NO OBSESSED; SHUT UP!

My paranoia is getting worse. I think you all are talking about me. Bitchin', spreading shit about my OCs and myself. :C But ignore this and give Hobo permission to use the swordfish in our epic fish fight TO THE DEATH. The sardines aren't doing him justice.

More will be blogged later, of course.

Ciao!~ :D

Second Part of Yesterday (OTL;;)

Yeah, I forgot to post that bit. So I'll make it short.

I went to Luton (ugh; chav town plz?) so my mum could meet up with one of her university friends. Her name's Minna. She's very sweet and a really nice person to chat to.

Anyway, we then went to a theme park; and I was like "okay, wtf? 8D;;" But yeah.

We got candyfloss, and went on the bumper cars. That was the first time I ever drove one alone, so I was like.."FUCK, WHAT DO I DO?? DDDD:" Yes mum, I inherited your driving skills. -thumbs up-
But I got the hang of it. And fought my brother..TO THE DEATH.

LOL, head on collision plz.

Next time though, I won't let you beat me. YOU HEAR ME; I SHALL BE VICTORIOUS!! >:U

Yeah, and the seatbelts there suck. I have bright red markings on my neck now. Ow, ow, and OW. Probably just me being a retard and not wearing it right though. Ah well, I had fun~

NEXT RIDE; YAAAAY! The HELL CREATOR. And there was..the most kick-ass Transformers art EVER above this ride as well. I wanted to take a picture, but noooo. I forgot my camera. (I can't do anything right, can I? XD)

So yeah, me and Jaimz went on the Hell Creator and man! It was pretty full-on. If I didn't feel sick, I felt like I was gonna go flying off the side of the little car. LOL at funfair safety! xD AND LOL AT JAIMZ' FACE! XDDDDD

That image shows you what the Hell Creator was like. Obviously, it wasn't the one we went on. (The art above the ride is wrong). But yeah, the theme park was awesome! :D

Then we went home. And I fell asleep in the car. And felt shit afterwards. Which I always do after sleeping in cars.

...I wonder what I should do today?
