Welcome!

Hello. I'm Ashira, Ashira Saide Cartel. You may know me from my other websites - Ashira's Notebook and Ashira's Store - but this is a totally different place [obviously].

I get bored with my life and have many plans. I try to keep people updated as best as I can, but that's kinda hard. I like ranting, I'll admit that, and sometimes talking about my website just doesn't happen. I don't like a diary because it either just gets really personal and I don't know what to do with it, or more likely than not I wanna share it with too many people and it's not that personal anymore.

As a solution, I first thought I'd try working on an Autobiography...sorta...but there was a lot in it that I just didn't like and didn't want to mention. There was also the fact that most of the book wasn't something I was up to selling, and overall it was just too much work that I wasn't willing to do. So I eventually ended up just quitting it...but I still thought, "What should I do...?" I didn't want to use my time making a whole 'nother website all for the purpose of randomly ranting, so after watching a video on YouTube from user MasakoX, I figured "Eh...alright, I'll give it a go" and here I am...on blogger. I'm also on tumblr if you're more into the short, random crap that's on my mind. I used to put this stuff under my main blog posts as Random Song of the Moment, Random Artwork of the Moment, etc.

I do wanna note a few things to any random visitors, however... first of all, this place is quite different than Ashira's Notebook. I don't censor myself quite so much [therefore I curse/swear, I talk about touchy subjects, etc.]. Secondly, I tend to talk about completely unrelated things from artwork. The things I discuss here usually are just general updates geared towards friends and family interested in what I'm doing with my life, as well as fans looking for a more personal side of the artist behind the artwork.

If you're hoping to get an inside scoop on my current projects, I will occasionally put things about them, but usually I'll write about random crap. In that case, I suggest you look at the News section on Ashira's Notebook more often and maybe checking out the Forums. If you're looking for examples of my written work, again I share some things on here, but the majority of my work is on my Writer's Cafe.

All that in mind, I hope enjoy your stay at Ashira's Home.

Attendance Has Never Been My Strong Point...

*sighs* Another day of school missed today... Today makes 15 absences total, and it's only been half the year. That's not including my tardies either.

I really hope I can get this turned around once I get a car. In all honesty, I'm thinking I will...that is I'm like 85% sure I can get it turned around... I hate myself sometimes for crap like this...oi...

My biggest issue with this is motivation. In all honesty, I am NOT motivated to go to school. When college rolls around I'm sure I'll be more motivated to get to class and to work hard [for the classes I choose to go to anyway...that Freshman, maybe Sophomore year(s) where I'm making up some stuff like math that I didn't do so well in high school...not so much...]. Since I'm so unmotivated to go to school, however, I tend to be less willing to go, and therefore my parents are less willing to take me. Oi...I really gotta fix that.

Oh well. I'll use today to review for tomorrows finals and to finish my math homework, relax tomorrow night after finals [or stress about them and the grades I'll get on them - whichever happens, happens, but I won't have work to do :3], finish the math test I missed after school Thursday, and get some damn sleep on Friday. Saturday I'll be headed to the mountains with Rue, and I'm really excited for that. A whole week of just him and I...and his family...woot.

Ok I'm so done talking about high school. How about college?

I saw Kenny [my old drama director] on Saturday night. It was really great to see him again, though I'm sure he felt a tad overwhelmed. Everyone wanted to get a say in with him. Everyone. He sat in front of me, between Chase and Emily, and kept going back and forth between the two. I didn't want to be another person so I waited my turn. After he talked to pretty much everyone at the table, I took my chance and I asked him about some college suggestions. I told him I was having difficulties deciding between majors [and minors], even though I currently have some ideas in mind [Asian studies/Travel Writing + Creative Writing could change just as easily as all my previous plans]. He said that I shouldn't be so caught up in that; that I should just get a feel for college before I even decide. He gave a valid point, too, that college gives you more options to look into. Once I've gotten a feel for college and gotten a taste of some of the things I might not otherwise have looked into, and only once I've done that should I focus on deciding what I want to major and minor in, etc. I figured that was some good advice to share.

Anyway, despite that I still don't feel comfortable going in blindly so I'm giving myself good ideas to consider while in college. I'm not officially planning anything as of yet, but still - pre-planning/brainstorming is always a good step to take. So currently I'm
