  Hey everybody.

Things have been going pretty much to the shits for several various reasons since my last post, mostly because of my parents (and their attitude toward me).
But for some odd reason my hormones are in the "good"-zone again at the moment, so I don't think I'm gonna' muck that up. Plus, I'm pretty sure most of have had more than your fill of me bitching and moaning by now anyway.

Anyway, despite my parents being all up in my grill, there is a bright-side to today.
First off, I'm currently listening to "Phantom of the Opera" by Iron Maiden. ^_^ I know that's not that big of a thing to be happy with, but damn is this ever a good song! I know alota' you don't like Hard Rock or Heavy Metal, but even so, it's a great song to check out if you have the time. Keep in mind though, it's off their first album, so it's Paul Di'Anno doing vocals (as opposed to the immortal Bruce Dickenson), so you can't understand a word he's saying (ultra-thick British accent). But Di'Anno still sounds cool, and even if he didn't the guitar would make up for it. b^_^

As for other good news, I'm off on (Good) Friday. Yep, 3-day Easter weekend!
Even better, I won't have any homework over the long weekend! ^o^ Isn't that great!?

On another note, I think I'm finally being accepted into Zack's inner-circle of friends.
Let me explain:
You remember Zig, correct?
Well, he has a group of friends he hangs out with that I'm getting to know. There's Laura & Will (a couple), Britton, Blake, Craig (from my Civics class), Kareem (the only Freshman in our group that used to have a bit of a thing going with Zack) and Greg (Emo-looking guy who's actually not Emo and has an ongoing joke about him being gay O_o" ), as well as a few people I'm just meeting at this point.
Anyway, Zack's group of friends are all the kind of people who don't have anything against hugging. Like me, they're mature enough to know a guy and girl can hug and not be a couple, and that 2 guys or 2 girls can hug without being a gay couple. This is great for me, because as lame as it sounds I love being able to hug people (go ahead and laugh. I don't care. >=O ).

So, I tell you that to tell you I think I'm starting to be accepted by the rest of Zach's posse.
I got my first friendly hug on Monday from Laura (keep in mind that Laura is currently Will's girlfriend, showing a lot of maturity on both their parts, knowing that hugs can be made out of friendship).
She even went as far as to say that I "give good hugs" and that she "should get hugs from me more often". =^^= Aww, that made me feel all warm & fuzzy.

Sappy, I know, but I just thought it was worth sharing that I'm being shown signs that I'm becoming a friend.
It's a good thing to, because most of Zach's friends are all warm & snuggly! ^///^

Anywho, I've got a fair amount of artwork that's either near finished or ready to submit, so be on the look-out for new art from me soon.

Oh! And thank-you to all the people here that viewed voted & especially commented on my newest piece! ^^ I really appreciate the thorough critiques, especially on a piece that I consider to be some of my best work.
It really saddens me that he came out looking cross-eyed, though. It was supposed to be an intense, dramatic pic of my main character at the boiling-point of an immense battle, and having him look cross-eyed totally ruins the mood.
EAMR went as far as to confuse him with one of my zombies. I even explained who/what the picture was of in the description, and she still couldn't tell. *sigh* Things like that go to show just how much I need to improve on my artwork, don't they?

I'm gonna' fix that eye in Photoshop, if it's the last thing I do. *triumphantly raises fist into the air*

Please pray for Elvzy-chan if you could, everybody.
Her wrist is hurting again (the one she already had surgery on), and that really worries me for reasons that should be obvious.
Please keep her in your prayers, alrightie?

A wonderful example of a talented emoticon-artist's work.
Plus, I've never been one to turn down any artwork pertaining to zombies. :D

I'll see you guys tomorrow!
