   Another post entitled Blargh...
Well, folks, how's life been around here? I've had the absolute worst week imaginable. First off, I'm sick, and I can barely move. I think I caught something from one of my friends. I'm completely behind in all of my classes, I've completely screwed everything up at school. LAst night I went to go see Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which was one of the two things in this week that has been good. Still, since my brother brought along his stupid, college friends, and I'm a lowly freshman, they made the whole thing a whole lot less enjoyable. The other good thing was, of course, a band concert, the only real thing keeping me going. Afterward, most of us went down to a resturant and chilled for a few hours, and that was also pretty good. *Sighs* were that everything could be going as well as that.

You see...my life's sort of been turned upside down...In case you hadn't noticed by my self-degredating humor and my constant state of 'Blargh'-ness, I'm an incredibly shy person. It's not that I'm a total geek or anything, I mean, I've got some semblance of a life, but when you're like me, liking a really cute, really popular girl at school, when you aren't exactly sure about her, is really, really awkward. She's in ther band, the only oboe player in the band, and we've been in a lot of the same classes since the beginning of the year, Theatre, both the bands, and we've been in the school play's too, so I've been seeing her a lot. Now, before I continue, I have been talking to her, and we're pretty good friends, so this isn't some sort of creepy, one-sided thing. You see, we're a LOT alike, we both like band, we both like acting, we both want to work at the movie theatre here (and both of our older brothers work there, too.). But, there's a catch (there's always a catch, isn't there?) She's incredibly beautiful, very smart, very talented, and her parents drive her to always get better at what she does. I, on the other hand, play an instrument I never practice, and I usually rely on luck to get through everything.

Now, this is the part where I'd normally bring up some sort of lost oppurtunity that I had, but, really, nothing's happened, despite the fact that I'm absolutely crazy about her. I'm going to be straight with you, she's kind of a shameless flirt. We've been pretty good friends for a while, as I've said, but she always seems suspicious of me, like I'm going to ask her out, but I never do. First off, like I also said earlier, I'm incredibly shy, and second, my parents won't let me date until I'm older. I still stumble over my words when I'm talking to her, and I'm always really nervous, you know? Well, I'm not sure what to do, so...that's really all I've got to say.

Well, returning to something a bit less depressing, I've got something big that I'm working on right now, in terms of drawing, but I've been sworn to secresy, so I can't talk about it with my friends, let alone put it online. So, sorry if I don't put any drawings on here for a long time. Well, theotaku, that's my life today. C ya later.

   It's been awhile...
Wow, how long has it been, two months? I haven't had ANY time to do anything. For the last SEVEN weeks, I've been out of town every weekend, leaving at around 5 in the morning on Friday (!) morning, and coming back at around 1 in the morning on sunday. Going to Speech and Debate's fun and all, but that's just ridiculous! Last week, on Monday and Tuesday, my band and I went to a music convention, that took us eleven hours to get to, and eleven hours back! Oh, well, I did finally get around to buying a copy of Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past for the GBA up there, with some of my extra money (the copy was used, so you know.) It came with a file that had twenty hearts and was totally beaten. Yeah, I had to delete it.

Sorry, that's just been bugging me.

So how's everyone on Otaku been? I'm trying not to be obnoxious and self-centered, as I've been in the past, but it's hard, when I don't even know how you people are going to react. Well, I've had no progress in the developing Manga department, I wrote a story for it, but it's not very good. Maybe I'll put it on the site when I'm feeling particularly bold. You see, the way I saw it, in the story, Beorhun's face is never described, cause it's written from a first person kind of thing, and it ups the suspense of his whole beginning, but it's impossible to put that into a Manga story. Oh, well, I'll rethink it, I've got lots of time.

Well, it's good to be back on, everybody. Hope everyone's been doing well in the time that I've been out and about.

-Eli

   First post of 2005!!!
Well, everybody, Happy New Year. That's a bit late, but there's been soooo much going on lately. I got sick with strep throat one day before finals started, so I missed the first day of the finals. Yesterday, I still felt crappy, but I went to school anyway to see everyone off and take the stupid finals. I think I aced my math final (I'm not good at math, so that's a very good thing.) And I did...okay on my science final. My grades (I think) were around three A's and two B's, which is really good. I'm glad I get to start the next semester. Halfway done with this school year! Woo!

Well, In the way of christmas stuff, I got everything I wanted, suffice to say. I got Final Fantasy I and II: Dawn of Souls, which I really enjoy, as well as MGS3: Snake Eater, which is fun, if it weren't so confusing at times. Oh, yeah, and I got a new CD player, for taking on trips, which I think there will be a lot of soon. For the next few weekends, I'll be gone to some Speech and Debate meets, and at the beginning of March, I'm going on another band trip. Well, this year is going to be busy, it would seem. I'm working on some new pics, but none of them are done yet. Anyway, Happy New Year, everyone!

   Merry Christmas, Otakus near and far!
Today is Christmas Eve, as I'm sure most of you are aware of. Oh, and if you don't celebrate christmas, then Happy Chanukah (Did I spell that right?) Happy Kwanzaa, Merry Festivous, or whatever holiday you happen to celebrate! (Hope someone caught the Seinfeld reference...) Well, today's been really good, I slept in, and, well, I'm not doing much of anything right now, because there isn't much to do. Well, this is the first christmas I've had where I have no idea what I'm getting from anyone, which is kind of nice, because it holds the element of surprise! Still, though, I'm not going to be online tomorrow, 'cause I'm going to be spending time with my family. Still, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

   Blargh...
Ugh...I'm not exactly feeling that good. I think I may be coming down with something (and it's Saturday, so you know I can't be lying.) I missed the gig last week with the Jazz Band, but it's all good with my band teacher. I made it up yesterday by playing a gig with the Brass Quintet. We played for 45 minutes straight at one point, and that was when I started to feel sick. I was able to finish, but I went back to my house and just pretty much fell dead asleep as soon as I got home. Still, I'm feeling a bit better today, and I got a bit of money off tips for playing, so that's good. Oh, and I only have three days until our christmas break (My principal's evil, and is cutting our Christmas break short by a week from last year's.). Well, Merry Christmas, everyone! I don't have a lot of pics in development, which is either good news or bad news, depending on what you think of my art. Well, people, I'll post whenever!

   The Holiday Season has begun!
Well, the holidays are here, and it shows around where I am. It FINALLY snowed on us! It was clear and warm throughout most of November, but we fianlly have...inclement weather. Yay. Anyways, How's everyone been? I've not been on Otaku for a very long time, a month, actually. The school year is finally getting interesting. Example: We had a power outage yesterday, so they canceled the last hour of the day! I was in Band when it happened, and we were getting out one of our songs, and we had just started playing when the power went out. Our band teacher (who's kind of a joker, elsewise this won't seem funny.) got a look of terror on his face, cut us off, and then he said: "Oookay, I don't think that the building wants us playing that..." Well, it was funny then. The school kept running until lunch, when the principal went out and told everyone to go home! Well, that was a good way to kick off this weekend. Uh...not much else has happened the past few weeks but boring old school. Well, Merry Christmas to All!

   Hello, everyone!
Hey! I got a chance to get on the computer, and I'm using it to chime in on the Otaku. Well, school's still weird, but I'm getting used to it. I'm leaving on monday to go to a band festival out of town, and I won't be back until tuesday night! Ha! TWO free days off of school! See, this whole band thing pays off! Lol! Well, also, to clear things up, Beorhun is the main character in my manga, which I still don't have a name for. Oh, well, i've got a lot of time to decide what to name it. Well, uh...I'm not sure if I've got much else to say, this is normally how long my posts are, right? Well, C ya all later.

   Fan Art
Well, I've got a new pic on the site, just if anyone wants to know. It's not colored, but it's one of my better pics, in my opinion.

   It's saturday! Yay!!!
Hey everybody, how's it going? I've had a pretty good saturday, you know. I just learned about a sequel to one of my favorite games ever, so I'm exited about that. Also, I've patched things up with my friends, and everything is alright. I'm almost done with my new pic, I just need to add a left arm and ink it all in. I'm also working on redesigning my humble little page to make it a bit less...boring. Well, I guess you'll all know if I'm able to pull it off, right? The weather here is really cold, but I don't really mind, I love the rain. Anyways, I just felt like making a post, to keep all of you updated. Take care, everyone!

   Well, hey everyone...
Hey, everyone. I've gotten a chance to get on this site, so I figured I'd post. I kinda feel sorry about one of my friends, who I've been kind of a jerk to lately. I don't know, I mean, he was a jerk to me a few months back, but does that mean that I should repay him for it? I feel kind of guilty about it, in any case. Anyways, this week's been alright, but school's kinda getting to me now. Everyone wants me to be everywhere, and It's kind of weird. Well, I'm working on a few new pics, but I don't know if I'll get any of them done. I've got a HUGE week ahead of me. The band's heading out of town for the entire weekend, and there's tests in all of my classes this week. Well, sorry if this seems kind of wishy-washy, but I'm kind of in a funk right now. Hopefully things will start to pick up, right?
