   My last night without braces...
Hey everybody. How's it hangin'?

I know I need to get to your sites soon. I'm sorry if I missed commenting on a post or two (but please know, as always, even though I may not have commented yet, I have read them!).

Oh! By the way! I submitted (yet) another zombie pic last night! Though I greatly appreciate any critiques you can give, please feel free to take your time in getting around to doing so.
This means I now have 2 more pics ready to be submitted here on my computer, which I'll probably send in later this week or weekend.

Speaking of artwork, I owe Erin-chan about 10 or 12 comments on hers. >_< Gomen-sai, Erin-chan. I know I've sorta' been neglecting you in that area.
The thing is, when I comment on artwork, I want the artist to know that I really look into the piece. I hate leaving short comments. So, when I'm busy with something else, or just not in the mood to comment, I say to myself, "Erin-chan deserves a nice, quality comment. I'm sure she'd rather receive a quality comment late then a short comment now", which naturally leads me to put it off over and over again.
Sorry, Erin-chan. I promise I'll comment on all the artwork I've missed from you as soon as I can.
For those who don't know, Erin-chan's recently created a character for her manga, "Nameless". Here's one of her concept pieces:

I wish I could color as smooth as Erin-chan can...
Hey, that rhymed. I may just be sewing the seeds to an Otaku musical or something....
Nah. XD

I won't go into details, but last night was total sh*t for me, and as you probably predicted, it was at the fault of my retard brother.
My little sister was performing in a 1st and 2nd grade performance at her school last night, meaning me and the rest of my family had to sit in an auditorium full of sick, coughing people in chairs designed for people 1/5th our age while the kiddies preformed horrid renditions of songs from different nations (sadly enough for all of us on The Otaku, Japan was one of them).
It apparently wasn't bad enough that I was there rather then at home doing homework (that I'm instead putting-off right now), so my brother proceeded to be a total jackass. Again, not time (or reason, really) for specifics, but he was obnoxious in several ways, which finally led me to snap when we got home. I got into an argument with my dad, and went to bed angry (again).
You can just feel the love and consideration can't you?

Well, I get my full brackets tomorrow on my front teeth. >_< I can't wait...
On top of that, before I even go in to get the braces on, I have a regularly scheduled doctor's appointment to go to. Nothing major, just a regular check-up (it's just that it's no fun going to the doctor's and the dentist's in the same day).
I don't mind the doctor's office nearly as much as I do the dentist's, since it's soooooooo much less painful.
Is anybody here more afraid of the doctor then they are the dentist?
Please pray for me as I go in to get my braces tomorrow, OK? I'd really appreciate it.

Since we're on the subject of prayer, I'm happy to inform you all that Living Doll is feeling better now. Big Thank-you's to all who pitched in and prayed for her.
However, please continue to pray for LuckyLady123 (that her family will be able to sell their house), as I am still yet to receive any information from her. -_-'

Here's your artwork of the day...
"KH Kairi and Yuffie", by Kaizeru:

Very cleanly rendered, colorful, and a fine example of genuinely beautiful and well-developed piece of artwork. What are your opinions?

I'll leave you today with some song lyrics for you to interpret.
I'm not going to tell you who the artist is or the name of the song just yet, for multiple reasons. I have a solid and thought-provoking elaboration planned for this, and it all starts with what you make of this segment of the song (and though it may not seem like it now, my elaboration will have SOMETHING to do with anime, so I'm not going out on a total tangent here. You'll understand in the next couple days...).
Here's the chorus of the song. What feeling do you get from it? And more importantly, what do you think it's about?:

"Out beyond the new frontier,
playing God without mercy, without fear.
Create a beast, make a man without a soul.
But is it worth the risk: A war of God and man?"

Oooooh, cryptic. XD It's more obvious then you think. Time to put your Thinking-Caps on! Let's hear what you have to say!
