Over Kill
Wow. So much crap has happened since V-Day. Can’t even begin to type it all out. So I won’t try. Just know I’ve been under much stress, but up to a few days ago (before things went horribly horribly wrong), having much fun. Except for the whole not eating enough thing. Bah. Need to get back to eating at least 1 full meal a day. Will work on that.

Anyway. Diplocon (small con hosted by Franklin & Marshall in PA) is today and Saturday. I’m selling stuff there. Huzzah. Haku, Ed, and Sora are on sell, along with bookmarks. My roommates and a friend are selling things too. I hope we at least make enough to cover the ticket cost (which is only $10 for college students). So, right after my 2d class I’ll be running over to the University. Whew, going to be a busy weekend, as I need to write a presentation and cut out zillions of cardboard shapes to build a tower for 3d.

A doodle of chibi Sam (from the movie Benny and Joon) is up, that I actually did on Valentines Day. Came out well I think. I have some more Johnny Depp character doodles, which maybe one day I’ll get to coloring. Spring break starts for me this coming Tuesday, so I hope I’ll get some time to relax. Hope you all have been doing well, I'll check some sites on Sunday...or Monday...Tuesday. Yes, Tuesday.

Coffee is Good for the Soul
Ugg. TGIF, indeed. I got a hw assignment back yesterday, the one drawing I did in conte that took 5 hours, and a got a 74. T-T And the worse thing is she wrote on the grade slip that I should spend more time on it. Wow. Does she think I did that in half a hour or something? I can’t spend more then 5 hours on one assignment, sorry lady, but that class is not my only one you know.

Sigh. Anyway. There’s going to be a small con at the University near me. Whoo. They wanted artists, so I emailed and asked questions. Apparently they don’t want a lot of fanart. Guess they’ve never been to Otakon. So I don’t know if I’ll get a table or not. But if I did I think the pic I submitted of Haku a day or so ago would be for sale. Because I like how it turned out, considering I had no ref for the boy himself. Yay for my first Spirited Away fanart.

*chugs coffee* We have no sugar so I put icecream in my coffee. Yum. I should do this more often. I have to get ready to go for my afternoon class. 2d. She assigned three projects due for today, and somehow I got them finished. Lol, two are crap though. :P I’ll try to get to some sites after I get out.

   Stress!
Aoy. So much hw to do. I have three 2d projects due next Friday, finished one, took me about 4 hours. Sigh. Gotta paint 48 more 2x2 in squares, secondary colors this time. Have to steal paint samplers from Home Depot (“don’t get caught!”) for another assignment. Elements of design scroll due tomorrow...Ack! All my readings/notes for History and English...and you know what I’ve been doing instead? Fan art. Yep.

A gift for my friend is up, I’m happy how it came out because I have a real hard time drawing that style (DNAngel). She’s in love with Dark, so hopefully she’ll like it. Doodled some sketches of Dio, lol, but they won’t go up. Also doodled Ichigo. If I mess with it some it could end up here.

Anybody going to watch the Super bowl? Doesn’t interest me at all, except the commercials. There’s a party upstairs (apartments, you know) for it and they’ll be board games...Oh, crud, Trisha’s parents are coming over. Gotta juggle that, hw, bank issues…perhaps I will be late for the party. Very stressed right now and typing it all out is helping me remember everything, which is good and bad at the same time. Arg. I’ll stop now. I’ll try to visit some sites later.

   Sleep is Good.
Did you know there are now parental guides on how to talk to your children on Pizza Hut boxes? >.> I think it’s rather sad. Not that I’m saying certain ppl don’t need them...

Bleh. So much work. Yesterday, after my morning class I spent more then 4 hours working on my 2d project, and then worked on my history hw. Squeezed dinner and some Samurai 7 (I keep expecting a LE character to randomly walk across the screen) in there somewhere. But I did manage to sketch some, before I went to bed. Today I got home and played with one sketch in Photoshop. I like how it turned out. So that’s up, and it is original. Whoo.

I still have a still life to do for tomorrow, I’ve done half of it, but I don’t wanna finish it. -_- Conte crayon is not my favorite medium. Sigh. *stares at red stained hands* I need another holiday, lol. What good is Valentines Day?

I’ve taken to having naps in the afternoon (only on days when I only have a morning class). Lol, am I getting old? I feel I need them though. Heh, I think I’ll do that now, and when I get up finish the still life. I’ll try to hit some sites later. Sleeeep...

   New Semester, New Classes, New Stalkers (Rant Time).
Whew. Tired. Got back from my Drawing class. Second semester of college looks like it’s going to be harder, and I miss most of my old teachers. Sigh. But no photography! Huzzah!

Submitted a Death Note comic. Fun. I bought the 3rd manga the other day. ^^ I also bought the first volume of Bleach. I think my inner little boy personality came out while I was reading it, lol, because in my head I was sounding just like my male 13 year old cousins as I read it. I actually thought “Sweet” as Ichigo kicked that guy in the face. I want Ichigo-kicking-face-skillz.

My roommates and I have started making comics about our lives. My avatar right now is a scene from one Trisha drew. It actually happened too (though there was no blood). My cat lunged for my head and bit it because I coughed, and I was wearing long sleeves, so he couldn’t bite my arm like he usually does. Psycho kitty. -_-

Speaking of psychos. There’s this girl, that was in Trisha’s classes last semester. She followed Trisha back to the apartment a lot, and Trisha can’t say “No” so even though she annoyed her she let her come…arg. She’s obnoxious. And clingy. Now she’s in my drawing class and in the words of a friend, “leeching onto me”. Arg. I’m trying to avoid her, but I already had to make a break for it so I could eat lunch in peace. “Break for it” meaning she followed me all over the college (she somehow figured I had agreed to eat with her), while I tried to lose her, and she looked away for a couple seconds and then I ran down 3 flights of stairs and outside to go eat with my friend. You’d think she’d take the hint that I don’t want her around. And, sadly, I can’t be more direct then that. Because I’m pathetic.

Okay, enough ranting. Sorry. I’ll try to hit some sites, I haven’t been on much.

One More Day...
I’m finished photography. Let me repeat that. I’m finished photography. Forever…so much weight has been lifted from my psyche right now. The only thing bothering me now is that she hasn’t graded our portfolios yet. I’m going home tomorrow. I want to show my family it. I want it back...gar.

I finished my two papers, and handed them in. I finished all my 2d projects; I have a review tomorrow with my teacher. I only like two of my projects from that class, because for those two I basically just did what I wanted to do, not what he suggested. He doesn’t know who the X-Men are. How can I respect him, I ask you?

I have an exam to study for. Tomorrow I will take it, and do the review and then I’m finished with college for a couple weeks. Whoo. It’s kinda funny, I’ve been drawing a lot more for myself this week then I have in awhile. Probably from all the stress of school assignments being over.

My Kingdom Hearts pic is up. I printed it out, and I’m going to frame it for my sister. I really hope she likes it. *crosses fingers* I drew and inked (inked as in with a brush, using Indian Ink on illustration board) a pic of comic book Nightcrawler but I didn’t submit that here, since it is not anime related at all. If you really wanna see it just go to my dA account.

Sam bought me the Anniversary edition of Edward Scissorhands for Christmas. Watched that, and I sketched Edward. I want to post it here, but Photoshop is being evil incarnate and keeps freezing and I can’t post it till I resize it...maybe I’ll get that up today.

Wow. Long post again. Hrm. Wrap it up with this: I probably won’t be online for the next 3 weeks or so. I’ll be home, and my parents got rid of the extra line, so we have to use the phone line to connect. I don’t want to take up that line, so I won’t be on much, if at all. So I’m wishing you all a very merry Christmas and all that jazz now. ^^

It's Almost Over
One more week of college, then Christmas break. I really only have two full classes left, but I have to drop off all my photography work, and have a Western Art exam, and go to a portfolio review for 2d.

I have so much work to do. Sigh. I spent all day yesterday working on final prints (11 x 16) for photo, but I still need to print one more (due Tuesday, lab closed today) and mat two more prints. Oh, and spot tone 4 of them. Arg. But! Yesterday was my last Saturday spent on photography!! I only have to go in tomorrow and turn it all in on Tuesday and then I’m finished!! No more! Next semester I have 3d instead. It can’t be as bad as photo. I’ve spent more then $600 on that class. I’m so poor. T-T

I have hopes of passing photo, I got a A- on the paper. I think I was the only one too...because Welch told my friend that her grade (C) was what most ppl got. >.> Oh my. So I really hope that makes up for failing every quiz.

I have 3 more 2d projects to finish...only one of which that I like. -_- Oh well. He only takes the best 10 grades, so I think I’ll just not do one...

Submitted an original pic. Well, it’s of Alice (in Wonderland), so maybe that’s considered fan art. I dunno. Anyway, it’s my design of her. About as Gothic as I get. Same sort of bg as my Ed pic. I’m working on a KH pic for a gift for my sister, so I’ll have that up eventually.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to explain why I haven’t been on much. So much to do...

   Uuunnnggghhh
I feel...icky. Don’t know why exactly, but could be a combination of a lot of things. I woke up around 1:00 PM, I’m bored, my roommates are missing (one is at work, but I don’t know where the other one is), I just ate breakfast hoping that the reason I felt *uungggh* was because I needed food. But I probably just gave myself the bird flu or something because I haven’t made scrambled eggs in a really long time, and wasn’t sure how to go about it. They tasted...interesting. I hope I cooked them long enough. I feel kind of queasy now.

I just saw a bug. -_- Like the kind you call in the exterminator for. My whole apartment building is having an “inspection” for them, so that’s good I guess, except they might have to spray my apartment...what do I do with my cat? Couldn’t he die from sniffing that or something? He might have to go home for a week or so. He’s been acting weird enough already...he bites ppl whenever they sneeze. O_o. And he randomly attacks my wrists, not enough to break the skin but it leaves welts.

My head feels too funny to read anything, so Harry Potter will have to wait a bit. Nothing is going on around the net, so I have nothing to do. Trisha said I could watch her anime any time, but everything I haven’t watched of hers already is depressing, so I don’t think that would help my mood. I guess I could start my homework. *shudder*

Sorry for complaining so much, but lol, this gave me something to do. I guess I’ll hit some sites, and then go rewatch something cheery and animated.

Ready Steady Go...
Hehe, we’ve got Sam into anime now. Well, at least in Fullmetal Alchemist. She really likes it, while the other animes we’ve made her watch she’s only thought were “okay.”

FMA is taking over my free time. -_- I downloaded the opening and ending themes, so been listening to that a lot, and whenever my roommates and I aren’t busy we’ve been watching the fan subbed version on Trisha’s comp. I got teary-eyed again during...that ep...yeah. I think it’s 25.

So, consequently, I had to have some fan art. It’s kinda odd that I haven’t made any before now, since it’s one of my fav animes. Well, now I do. It came out a lot better then I thought it would. ^^ Lol, it even has a background. Tis submitted. I want to draw Hughes next, but who knows what I’ll end up doing. I have some stuff still floating around my files that are half completed...really should finish coloring them.

Ugg. I have a photography paper due Tuesday. Have no idea how to do it...I have to critique a photo...which really doesn’t sound that hard, but it is. There are steps involved and I don’t know how to follow them. Sigh. Tomorrow will be a major photography-work day, have to mix more developer, redo some prints, shoot and develop some more rolls with the Holga and make 5 more prints from the 35mm rolls for a critique. Should go to sleep now, so I can get up early to do all that...I’ll try to hit some sites tomorrow.
