A Post

It has come to my attention that I haven't posted in...well, ages. So...I'm sorry. But I don't have anything particularly to post about. It's been a particularly interesting May. Happy Birthday to my Dad and the many other birthday-people in my family for this month.


Even though every normal girl tends to talk about things she's excited about, or become excited over things that are going to be happening soon...I must say I am neither excited, nor dreading them. I get this churning, sour feeling in my stomach when I think any further than that. >.<


Goodnight!

~A.K.~ (I'll try to come up with more interesting posts, but I doubt it will happen soon. Just wanted to say, yeah, I'm alive.)

In which I think very hard...

So, last night I couldn't sleep. I was up till two-thirty, of my own accord, and only knocked out AFTER I took a motion-sickness pill and LET it put me to sleep...I could've stayed up, even with that pill.
Blame my braindead-ness this weekend. Because of it I had a sudden rush of thinking last night...I realized things I had never noticed.

A point I must make is that I think I'm gonna be off of Facebook for awhile. Seeing certain people on there just riles me, and I hate being riled up over stuff I can't stop.

So.....


Blogger will be my social outlet for a while.

-Argentia Krystofel ♥

The world doesn't like my glances
They scare the people
The world doesn't like my trances
They make them miserable


The people in this place
Are nervous because of my gift
But the gift won't erase
And I do use it for your benefit

Under Orion May Your Memory Ring True

The night air is chilling
Stars and moon are thought-stilling

A single star shines very bright
Upon whom her thoughts do alight

But she longs only for a friend
Sweet perfume on a darkened wind

Because light only glimmer with hope
When with their descisions you can cope

Leaning in, she needs you now
Before this throne she cannot bow

Only half the cry you hear
And she wished things could be made clear
*
Lonesome longing
For one seemingly lost
Silently begging
That he won't pay any cost

Pointless worry
Time will stand in place
Never say sorry
A blank look on my face

Her heart still flies
But she ties it down
For fear of those lies
That make you frown

Black on white the song
Of thoughtful love yet remorse
Though you can sing along
I'm still trying to see, of course

Oh, leave me, sweet regret!
Go, jealous envy
I will not be caught in that net
And nothing gained, you see

A sparkling treasure
Sitting under the sand
Brighter than the gold
Of all the land

Burning horizon
Dreams, please come true?
The constellation of Orion
Is coming into veiw

Run, run, fast as you can
A destination is on your mind
Do not stop, not for any man
And never look behind

Let her smile guide you
Just for this short moment, tonight
Understand her heart is true
Her sympathy is for your plight
*
She sees the sky, so great a height
Embellished with clouds by the day
And stars of diamond by the night

She sees a jagged fissure
Where the earth has cracked
Broken by the pressure

Look! Fool, there is broken glass
Consider who's at fault
And find some warmth at last

I'll try hard to hold on
It's a few weeks soon coming
And this is almost gone

When moonshadows are dimly cast
And Orion above us
We'll shoot back into the good of the past.

The style of ^this^ poem changes...hum, three times throughout. A muse, I suppose, since it is so very long.

For We Have Become Minstrels (or A Penny, A Quarter)

Do you know what laughing is
Yes, I know and it is this

A great and full; bursting moment
To be in the presence of not one lament

Even his faults are all kissed by the sun
And our spirits toward the sky horizon run

Where is the vast sky, can it be named well?
So this depth is like the blue; trust you cannot sell

The brightness of this day is more than I
And through the clarity of the horizon pearls I spy

Floating on invisible waves, reflecting the sun’s light
You can stare at them for years, till you increase in height

Time and stature, yet we’re still with hope
And with the changes of life we’ll cope

A family of travelers upon the road
Playing our instruments and searching for abode

A penny, a quarter, a flower for miss
And a long, happy strain that they call bliss

Then the deepness of your river is enhanced by two
And the world doesn’t always spin around you

But we never had to tell him, he always knew
That darkness is waiting for me and for you

Hark, oh night of blackness and silence!
We will not be hindered by your evil-hearted vengeance

Our family ties are strong, they bind us together
Nothing can take us, never oh never

Till the light shining on the rocky side
Is reflected by the incoming tide

While you stare up at the pearls as the ships leave the land
And I sit close by and draw pictures on the sand

The birds take flight and he writes a song
And the little girl and boy rather play than sing along

The women and men walk down the shore
And the eldest of us are still looking for more

But we’re the most content than we ever could be
In our cove of goodwill, out by the sea

Wondering if the bonds will ever go away
And hoping to stay for another day



As I said on Facebook-

A cookie to the first person that can tell me what the pearls are in this verse-

The brightness of this day is more than I

And through the clarity of the horizon pearls I spy

And I guess another cookie to who can tell me what this one means-

Then the deepness of your river is enhanced by two

And the world doesn’t always spin around you

ENJOY!!! Sorry I don't post very often-life is hectic and frustrating-not VERY bad stuff, but still hard. And if you understand all of the stuff in these poems, or most of it, then you are either crazy, know a lot about me and my stargazing tendencies, or are a big part of the subject. :) I doubt many understand fully, so don't dare feel bad if you don't...you aren't supposed to! ^.^

I have finished Baccano!, btw, and it's very good! I love the English dub of it-Accents are so cool. Still working on Cowboy Bebop.

Also, expect a total blog makeover soon...Fall is almost here!!!

-Argent ♥

Well, yet again it is...uh, after the anniversary of my blog. XD I keep forgetting!

Anyways, this blog is 2 years old now.

I decided to post some of my favorite comments from my friends and then the same thing as I did last year-a comparison between last year and this one.

Favorite Comments of All Time:

From Fox/Terror/Cylleruion/The Alien. :P

Yeah the service/party on Christmas was fun! *Grin* I know how that works with the food. Whats worse is when you totally stuff yourself with rice. It expands in your stomach because of all the liquids and it hurts for hours.
Another-
And people thought my last post was off the wall and whacky....:P

Fox is coming to town!
He knows where you are sleeping!
He knows if you should be pranked or not, so be good for goodness sake!

Teehee I like my version better than the original. Au'e!

From Megan/Hahli-Hahli here!
That was hilarious; hope you found your shoes! None of your 15 things were bad to admit. Sometimes it is really interesting the things you don't know about your friends. And no I wouldn't say you are a tomboy either, who came up with that word anyway?!
See you later, and have a great party!
PHOOEY! I was going to leave the first comment but someone beat me too it, and on purpose. Grrr
Love you know who!

From Hannah/Rose/Scarlett-

(In reply to above)
*stares in horror at the second comment posted at 10:25 am*
Fox! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!??? I'm NOT joking..."Love you know who!"
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????!!!
I'm contacting Commander Blade and he's gonna kick you out of the Nerf Team for GOOD!!!!

*Glances sideways at Fox*
Er...you feelin' alright, Captain?
*Stops and leans over to Commander Blade*
Sir, I believe that one of your Captains have gone bonkers!
*Whispers quietly*
Do you wish to carry out Mission: Remove From Office Because of Insanity?

>.> <.<>.< :D In Christ, ~Rose *Commander Blade raises eyebrow and looks at his Captain's comment* *Silence follows* Um...Yeah.... I like the original one...:) Oh, and on the subject of 'pink' blogs; Robert, Rothor, Josiah and Jeremy haven't run away from mine! ;D In Christ, ~Rose

From Mom- In reference to my pic of a pink maverick- Whaaaa, I want one!!!TEEHEE Mom

From Sir_F-IS OFFENDED! NOT SET DESIGNER! STORY WRITER! :P JK

Tis very funny. I especially like the position of costume designed for Katell. I've seen interviews from people of said department in Star Trek series, and they can have quite a temperament. Just don't understand why Gris is eating the paper??? :P

Violetta-your blog is very nice!!! I too like a lot of anime .... but in Italy, I am Italian, I am not loved so much ... uff ... I can not understand everything you wrote but if those are your drawings are very beautiful! I draw them myself! Hello ... kisses
I do not know nothing of Latin, but it is normal that no one knows the Italian ... in Italy there is an 'option where you can translate all the sites in the language you want ... there is in America? would be more understand my blog! maybe I'll post some in English to make you understand a little more!
:)
Yes I saw the whole series and I liked a lot but my favorite character is Kaoru, one of the twins ... I too have a twin brother! you could recommend a good anime?
My favorites are:
FMA and FMA Brotherhood
Knigth vampire and vampire Knigth guilty
Host club
Earl and Fairy

I have seen many alltri but some I did not like ...

https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6627767909932995373&postID=8583985033945652699 And this entire string of comments. Ya'll seriously may not know it, but this criticism and encouragement has helped me become the writer I am today. Thanks for at least telling me a few of the mistakes I had made, though I'm sure a few of you wanted to point out more!!! :) Now, for the things that have CHANGED concerning my life this year. :)

1. I went to the Barn Dance at Conference this year!
   
2. I see some improvement in my writing, and loads of improvement in my drawing.
   
3. I made some friends and actually enjoyed one of my Mumsie's big parties.
   
4. I realized I like French and German and Northern accents aren't all terrible!
   
5. I learned that there are certain things about yourself that you don't tell anyone, just God.
   
6. I've learned so much, I can't really write it all here. I have learned that G.A. Henty IS out to get me, but to prove myself, I must FIGHT like a, er, girl, and concur it!!! HISTORY WILL NEVER HOLD ME BACK AGAIN!!! To VICTORY!!! Okay, enough of that...(This was directly taken from last year, but the word Math was replaced with History and Henty, which subsequently start with the same letter. :P)
   
7. The Lord has blessed me so much with experiences that have really changed my life for the better. I have learned patience, perseverance, and that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me is amazingly powerful. I have found that I am so well off, and it's all because of Him.
   
8. We finally painted our upstairs hallway and I got a doorknob!
   
9. I have watched loads more anime and learned that stopping in the middle of a hugely long one doesn't hurt you, and may actually prove to relieve stress. XD
10. I'm not the only person who dislikes spiders and snakes. ;D
    
11. Not all fighting is bad!
12. Some people fight because they don't like each other, sometimes they're just fooling around and aren't too serious.
13. Never volunteer to be thrown down a steep hill. Your adopted older brother will punch the person who is going to throw you down the hill.
14. Don't stay up till 4 unless you absolutely HAVE TO.
15. You don't always have to fill in the silence in a conversation; sometimes it's good to stop and think for a few minutes.
16. I have become closer friends w/ Rebecca and Sir_F! Love you guys!
    

What hasn't changed-

1. I still have my faults, but they have gotten better.


2. We still live here.


3. I didn't get my ears pierced or contacts.


4. I still love drawing guys more than girls.
   


5. I still can't wake up before eight consistantly. Without scary dreams to prompt my rising.


6. But that is okay...anyway, there isn't much about me that hasn't changed. I look different, i like different things....


7. Ah! I still have some of the old friends I used to, and I still love my family more than ever, and my friends more than ever, and Jesus more than anything!

I love all the people in my life right now, and am excited about more to come!

And last but never, ever, ever last in my heart; My wonderful, gracious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Goodnight everyone!♥

Done!

Done cleaning at Dad's office. Ah, feels nice to have finished. And yes, I am on his secretary's computer. XD

I am definitely excited about the Reformed Family Bible Conference coming up in June. I can't wait for summer to officially be here, too.

So...yeah. Nothing much has been going on. We made candy last night. It was watermelon flavored. Pictures when I get home. :)

I've been writing. Perhaps I'll post what I've written at some point. My Dad put OpenOffice on Mom's computer, so I have had a program to write with. I've done character profiles for both Perekin and Talfryn Leclair, and as soon as I can finish cleaning my room today, I'll be writing up one for Ailith, too.

So, yeah. Is it just me, or am I writing this post to no audience? Yeah, I thought so. Blogger world is dead, people. I miss getting comments. T.T

Winter Is Here!!!

Today is the 2nd of December and to spite Winter still being weeks away, I've gone ahead and changed my blog colors. The name is still Downy Flake, but I have debated changing it to Snow Kiss. But maybe that's a bit too much! lol, what do ya'll think?

My recent obsessions for this winter: Drawing some of my friends and my own characters, dancing on Christmas Day (which we do every year and I am totally excited about DOKI! DOKI!), seeing snow, using my special Sakura eraser, Hikaru no Go and D.Gray-man!!!

Hikaru no Go-Favorite Character: Yuki Mitani, Fujiwara no Sai, Waya.

D.Gray-man-Favorite Character: Allen Walker and Lenalee.

The song on my blog header and playlist is Snow Kiss, the ending theme of D.Gray-man, which I love! It's so beautiful, and whenever I hear it I think of Allen in that adorable suit...^.^

So anyway, have a great Christmas, ya'll! I have changed a lot of the music on my blog to Christmas music, enjoy!

I'm Back! (Sort-of)

Konichiwa, everyone!!! Hope you're all doing well! Gomen for being absent so long!

I am now fourteen! A few things about my birthday celebration-The Dorito chips were spicy.

The lemon bars looked like cornbread.

Cylleruion Gwaithovorn has an interesting set of cards.

It's fun to eat breakfast to Weird Al's White and Nerdy.

RANDOMNESS IS COOL, isn't it??? :P

I have been drawing a lot lately. Here are some of the drawings.

1. Two characters from an RP I am in.
2. A character from my story. (Which I am no longer posting. T.T Gomen nasai...)
3. The same RP characters.
4. A request from a friend. She is drawn from a character in FMA, and she's eviiiiilllll. :P
5. Another RP drawing. He's a character I haven't yet written but am excited about. I won't be able to start writing him until I get to a certain point in the storyline, but I'm super excited about that and wish I could get there sooner.

Also, I will only be posting once a week (on Friday) from now on. School, drawing, writing, and some new things I am hoping to be taking on in the new year. Pray for me, it's going to take lots of practice and determination to learn to play the piano! I have tried twice and been unable to do it, so I hope I can this time! I'm a lot older, so that might help.

One last thing-I changed my username to Argentia because someone else has the username Autumn and I didn't want any confusion. :)

Enjoy your week everyone!!!

♥ Argentia

Bear with me!

I know things are looking kinda weird, color wise, but I'm still working on it! If I possibly can I'll get it right by tomorrow, but I don't know.

-Autumn

EDIT: I got it right!!! *happydance* Now, to quit stressing over writing, drawing and doing an endless mountain of dishes!!!

I hope all of you are doing well.

-Autumn

Hi everyone, I'll try to blog some on this, but I'm new and it's a bit confusing....
More later!
