What is tattoo'd on Miyavi's back. A very spiritual tale.
[translation from Japanese]
The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra
When the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara
was coursing in the deep Prajnaparamita,
he perceived that all five skandhas are empty,
thereby transcending all sufferings.
Sariputra, form is not other than emptiness
and emptiness not other than form.
Form is precisely emptiness and emptiness precisely form.
So also are sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness.
Sariputra, this voidness of all dharmas
is not born, not destroyed,
not impure, not pure, does not increase or decrease.
In voidness there is no form,
and no sensation, perception, volition or consciousness;
no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind;
no sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, thought;
there is no realm of the eye
all the way up to no realm of mental cognition.
There is no ignorance and there is no ending of ignorance
through to no aging and death and no ending of aging and death.
There is no suffering, no cause of suffering,
no cessation of suffering, and no path.
There is no wisdom or any attainment.
With nothing to attain, Bodhisattvas relying on Prajnaparamita
have no obstructions in their minds.
Having no obstructions, there is no fear
and departing far from confusion and imaginings,
they reach Ultimate Nirvana.
All past, present and future Buddhas,
relying on Prajnaparamita, attain Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi.
Therefore, know that Prajnaparamita
is the great mantra of power,
the great mantra of wisdom, the supreme mantra,
the unequalled mantra,
which is able to remove all sufferings.
It is real and not false.
Therefore recite the mantra of Prajnaparamita:
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha

Personally, I hate talking on the telephone. I'm super awkward at it. I love texting however.
But I've found quite a few of my friends argue that "texting is impersonal"-- while I don't dispute that words are simply dead symbols, and only represent about 20% of what we're saying--the rest being tone and body language etc.-- it's a stretch to say it's impersonal.
Most often I find I'm texting you to talk to you even when I cannot actually talk to you.

Yes. As none of you know, obviously, it is my Golden Birthday today.
I am now legal!
woo porn!
O__o
jes.
So, I've kindof been busy with my book- so haven't been able to draw much or anything... But fortunately, I have been working on some of the many pictures I took while I was in Italy over spring break.
Fantastic photos, by the way, they are. *nods*

There's no-one like Ma-ca-va-ty... I wish I could dance! It is my new life goal to somehow learn the dance to that scene... Because it's amazing! If you have not guessed, my new obsession is Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS. nnn... yes!
But, it's totally, utterly, the best season EVER! Halloween is the best holiday (other than Christmas) but it's waaay more fun! Trick or Treating and stuff! *squee* I luff Candy and dressing up! A friend of mine and I are dressing up for our school Costume Contest as The Phantom and Christine... Because I make a smexy man, you wouldn't even know. *laughs hysterically*
Volleyball is owning meh life, we had a two and a half hour bus ride for a game last night, so I skipped out on first period and the pep-fest to sleep. It was pleasant. So I was loking at yaoi and shounen-ai this morning, to make my day bright and sunny. Yes, I admit it-
I'M A PERVERT!
*squee* life is so much more fun when you're perverted, I must say. Just try it for one day, you'll see. But honestly... I dunno... never mind...
I'm going to rent CATS and watch it tomorrow after our homecoming game for volleyball. WOO Homecoming... I'm excited because we're playing a crappy team, so we're going to slaughter them. *evil grin* I love volleyball.
And this entire weekend is NDK- a enormus anime festivle in the city. And I can't goooo! *sobs hysterically* My mom won't drive me and that makes me want to cry, because it's so much fun, and it's so cool- and everybody's so nice, and there are so many hot guys! *squee* I love smexy anime-loving guys... espically when they're loving on eachother... heeheehee... nnn ^.^
Welcome to me being really, really random ^_^ *sweat drop*
So, I sort of like this guy at school, not that any of you care. I don't obsessivly like him, but I like him enough to try for his attention. But I could never go out with him or anything, because I would basically poision him- like a sick, perverted diseased of blackness overtaking his smexy body and innocence ^^
I want to rape John Partridge! Only after I have my way with Miyavi and Johnny Depp.
Ah, yes, my current work! I was listening to the "Pirate Theme" from the Disney ride, you know the one "Yo-ho yo-ho, a Pirate's life for me!" anywho, I kept picturing cute lil anime pics of Cap'n Jack doin all of the stuff... I'm a quarter of the way through with the sketches, and I have to scan them, and photoshop them, but they're just about the durn tootenist things ever! nnn ^^
