Hard Core Chillin…cuz its so freakin cold…
Hiya folks. Sorry I havnt been sticking to a rigid Posting schedule recently, partly due to holidays, partly due to me having to work my ass off this week (I have worked every single day since last Friday…that includes Christmas day and boxing day)
And partly due to other mitigating factors.

Well, did everyone have a nice Christmas? Mine was pretty good in the end, all things considering. I got some cool presents too. ^^ I got Princess Mononoke on DVD (which is one I have wanted to see for ages), two books that I had asked for, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest on DVD, a Doctor Who guide, tickets to go and see a theatre show of my choice, an IOU for a leather jacket and my brother also decided to get me a tomato growing kit. Y’know. Because.

But the two prize items I got were Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children OST and The Place Promised in Our Early Days OST, which are next to impossible to buy in England. ^^ so yeah, I did really well. Many many thanks to my family. Tomorrow I'm going to go looking for Leather Jackets, which my mum promised to get me for Christmas, but its hard to buy a jacket without trying it on and deciding what kind ya wanna get. Hence the IOU. ^^ I like my full length leather jacket very much, but there are times when it just isn’t suitable. So I'm gonna get a normal length one.

What did you guys get? I hope ya all got what you wanted. I know blue didn’t quite. ^^;;;; I maintain that the postage would have been hella expensive.

I hope that everyone I sent cards to got them and liked them. Thank you to those who sent me an e-card. They were muchly appreciated.

As I said, this week I’ve been hella busy, mostly at work. I got new years day off and I got next Saturday (the 6th Jan 2007) off, which also, coincidentally happens to be Watasefan’s birthday.

Oh, and mine. XD

It will be my 20th birthday …I'm such an old fogey. LMAO not really. But two whole decades on planet earth without too much damage…kudos to me eh? Lol

I'm planning on picking up Nic and heading up to Cambridge with him for my birthday. Hopefully we can meet with rhian there and have lunch. I might take paddy with us too. But failing that, we might go bowling, or up London or something….we’re just gonna go crazy and have a good time.

I got some piccies to show you guys, one is a cdd, the other is some doodles. I have also got to do a New Years CDD. ^^ and maybe have Boxman join in the fun too.

Anyhoo…PICCIES

When I'm at work, there’s often a couple of times throughout the day where there is nothing to do. So I usually end up grabbing lil scraps of paper and doodling. Here are some of the more interesting things I’ve doodled recently…



Okies, I’ll explain. Top left is an original mecha design I have been working on. I wanted something looking feminine but still military-esque. The story these appear in never got finished (or very far at all) but I like to keep designs up to date and ideas flowing…I might return to it one day.

Top Right is a lil Chibi doodle of Kayleigh. For some bizarre reason which I put down to sleep deprevation, I wanted to put her in that outfit. Then I kept her hair short and added some make up. (again, don’t know why). She looked kinda extravagant and artistic, so she’s saying “Art Nouveau Darlin’” which I spelt wrong. Go figure. But for some reason I draw endless amounts of amusement and happiness from this doodle.

Bottom Left I have a picture of Melanie, the latest addition to my character repertoire. And a doodle of the Mecha Mista P! my own super robot. XD and a vague half sketch of another super robot, a female type.

And Bottom Right is a sketch of Jen (from my recent short fiction for any of you who remember) playing the violin and sporting her recently acquired glasses. She looks pretty sharp if I do say so myself. Beware though…her gun is within easy reach…

So yah. I get bored easily at work. But that’s good news for you, cuz it means I come up with things like this CDD!!



So now ya know. The mystery of Rose’s hair has been solved.

I shall update again on Sunday with my yearly review Post. Then I shall try to return to regular updates in the new year.

I hope everyone has a great new year. what are your plans? Mine are same as the last two years…stay in my room, watch a movie and draw a new years piece of art. Hopefully this year’s will be better then last years, but I still have yet to think of a concept…though I have a few vague ideas I'm willing to try out.

Well, have a great rest of 2006 everyone! I shall see you all Sunday with my review of the year. Take Care!!!
