Man, I'm really fired up now!!
We so rock!! Mwahahah!! Little Gravitation quote for the shonen ai otaku! So, I'm on my lunchbreak, listening to Shout it Loud (God, I always forget how amazing this song is - you know, the King of Bandit Jing opening) and I'm just feeling great. What could be better?!
Well . . . maybe going to Nottingham tomorrow for a mass anime-buying day out? Yup, maybe so.

Well, just what is the cause of this delirious madness, I hear you cry. Oh, not much, just that some weirdy arty people want to use my fanart in an exhibition they're holding at this weirdy media centre!! How cool is that?!
I was told that it was a really important exhibition for them, and I was there with my 'portfolio' (I use this word loosely - it contains a picture of an awfully effeminate Oliver, Kai posing topless like he's advertising aftershave, and that mad little pic of Daichi that I put on here - the one in red pen. Yeah, like I was being serious about it . . .)
and I just cringed. No one told me beforehand just what I was going for, so it's not like I was overly prepared anyway. Anyhoo, as it happens, they perused my work, spoke briefly about downloading Cowboy Bebop off the Internet and explained some of the details of how they wanted to display the work (with projectors and rigging and all that stuff). I just sat there, figuring they were being polite, and left without much of a thought. Then, yesterday, I got a call from the director telling me that the copyright issues weren't a problem, and that they wanted to show my work!! Hehe. I'm so happy, yet utterly confused.
I don't see why they chose my work, especially as I'm, essentially, an amateur 'artist' who paints 'cartoons' for fun in her spare time. Nothing about my paintings are serious!! But, still, I'll gladly take the opportunity to show my art. I guess it just goes to show that if I can rouse some kind of interest in my pics, then most of the people here can make it into the art world with ease! I feel unworthy!! Hehe. Tomyo shouts at me for saying this, but I could understand people being interested in someone like Seifer Sama's work, but my little doodles? Hehe. Someone else must have my twisted sense of humour!!
Anyway, I hope it does all work out in the end (I've still heard nothing from the guy who wanted me to write a manga - grr!)

Well, enough of all that happiness! I'm far too jolly considering that I have to go back to work in about half an hour. Actually, I really like where I work - except that I've been lugging giant boxes full of Christmas cards around all morning and I'm the weakest person in the world. My back really hurts now!! But, I've been playing on the till as well, so it hasn't all been too hard - plus we've got cream cakes because the manager's away!! Yay!

So, I have tomorow and Friday off as a little holiday. Tomyo's got a weeks holiday from school, so we're going to Nottingham - as I already mentioned. We know what we need to get (many-a-manga!), and have figured that we'll have quite a considerable amount to play with after that!! I can't wait.

For those who don't know, Nottingham is out anime Mecca. There's a couple of manga shops, and loads of places that sell anime DVDS, and merchandise, so we'll be kept very amused!! And poor, upon our return . . . Actually, I don't know why I keep saying 'we'. I'm the only one whoever pays for things, Tomyo just adds more stuff to the basket while I hand over my hard-earned cash!! Sob!

Anyway, methinks I've written enough for now, so I'll be off. Oh, and sorry that I haven't been around again. And picture update - still have no paint whatsoever (nowhere's stocking the paint I use!!) so I've got to have a look in Nottingham tomorrow, and as I have some time off, I'll see what I can do. The Kai one I mentioned above might get painted also - I think the Kai fangirls will like it!!
See you around!!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Final Fantasy VIII
Ward: " . . . "

"Well, it makes me laugh, anyway!" Yup, I'm running low on quoting material at the moment. Still, Ward's a great character and needs appriciating!! Hehe.
