Personal
Achievements I got to the third volume of my comic, but i had to start all over again because I got a lot better, but my style changed a lot too; so now i'm on volume 1 off my new and improved G33k!! Anime Fan Since I didn't know what i was reading and watching was manga and anime until I was five, but I loved the stuff once I was initially introduced to it. Favorite Anime Urusei Yatsura is tops, the others are too much-but I like profound and moving anime (like Clannad and Air) as well as fighting and love comedies(like Love Hina and Shakugan no Shana) Goals 1.Finish my comic series and get it onto the net 2. ...Grow? 3. Hold a relationship for longer than 2 weeks Hobbies Reading manga, drawing manga (I must say, I'm pretty good, nya!), and watching anime (yes, I'm obsessed) Talents Drawing manga, making people bow down to my power at school...

Mood-Stressed, Yet Simultaneously Mellow
Listening to-Headstrong by Trapt
I was supposed to be studying for my midterms this whole weekend, but I never did...I had too much fun!! I went shopping with one of my Junior friends at the mall(i got very nice things =D), I hung out with my brother and my best friends(included is BWMaryAlice, and I got into several bands I found out about(the most recent is the one I'm listening to now-see above).
I added my manga directory at the top of the page, but it's not aligned right-I asked BWMaryAlice to make a new layout for me and she said "yes" so I guess I'll see that sometime in the future =)...sorry, no new entries yet-I decided for this week of midterms that if I have time to draw, I have time to study for those darned tests, so you won't be seeing anything new until the week after this one.
Well, I'm going to sign off now-but before I do, KaidaFaye has a question:
HOW ARE YOU GUYS ABLE TO STUDY???(if applicable) No offense, but people with ADD or ADHD-this ESPECIALLY applies to you to answer because my habits are ADD-/ADHD-ish, plus my parents finally admitted I might have ADD(my older bro has it so I might have small traces in my head).
So...yup. Bye!

Mood-My back hurts, but otherwise I'm good
Listening to-
Ugh, finally...I have the second page of G33K!! Offline up now, and I'm planning on making a directory for my comic since this TheOtaku refuses to upload my comics for irrelevant errors...meh. I'll add a real directory on the upper part of this page later on, until then it will be at the end of this post.
At drama club, the president wants us to do either Oliver or Grease, both musicals. I don't mind the musical part, but I would MUCH rather prefer to do Oliver over Grease. Not only because I like Oliver better, but because my old middle school I'm volunteering at for THEIR drama club is doing that already...it'd be too much of the same thing for me.
Midterms are next week, and I hate the fact that I have my English Exam first, and that I even have an Algebra II exam as well...especially the Algebra II-our teacher didn't teach us anything!!! So basically, I have to learn 1/2 of the year's work...especially the graphing, damn-that's gonna cause some sleepless nights.
Well, here's the temporary directory I promised!
Hello there...I crashed at around 11 last night, so I got approximately 8 hours of sleep...still missing at least 16 since I didn't sleep for 3 days beforehand(that's why I was so irritated the last post. I got some Mountain Dew and a bottle of sprinkles-the sprinkles are a new thing I'm gonna start as my trademark. What's funny about my lack of sleep is that I seem to absorb more information in my classes and I tend to be bipolar. I was also able to do more schoolwork without being too distracted-it's like being on caffeine!!!...accept caffeine doesn't make me bipolar.
You know those bells tied onto the candy canes at the stores? Well, I have a bunch of them and just tied them everywhere-my bag, my hair, my wrist, my shoes...so now I sound like Christmas everywhere I go! w007!
I know I'm not gonna be able to sleep until about 11 today as well, but since my parents went to bed early I might actually end up staying up all night AGAIN...who knows, I just wish people didn't need sleep. I mean, just think of all the things you could do in the average of eight hours humans use to sleep! You could read, study, do homework, eat(cuz I think most of you basically skip lunch, right?), draw/work on that manga you've been planning out in your head since forever ago, write a story/song/anything...the list is practically endless!!! Sure, sleep is beneficial in almost as many ways...but why couldn't humans evolved to the point in which sleep was pointless... Don'cha agree?

I can't sleep. I have school tomorrow, therefore I actually need to sleep. But I can't. I went to bed at 11 and just lied there for two hours, eyes closed, darkness surrounding me, no sound at all. Of course, nothing worked. I've completed 3 full-colour drawings, wrote 2 chapters of Rumour, read all of Go Ask Alice by Anonymous and the rest of Maximum Ride:Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports, and actually DID MY BIOLOGY HOMEWORK. Considering the time, I just decided to have another all-nighter; I mean, it's not like I can sleep any time soon and at this point it will just be easier staying up instead of forcing myself to sleep(which probably wouldn't happen anyway) and try to wake up in the morning. So, tomorrow I gotta get some bottles of Mountain Dew from friends and drink until I feel overly focused and awake.
On the bright side, I'm not the only one in the house who's wide awake-my older brother(nii-san!!) is awake as well-he's talking on the phone and wandering aimlessly and just a few seconds ago jacked my piano adapter, lol(I wasn't using it anyways).
So....what do you guys do when you suffer from insomnia?

Time:5:05Am
I just looked up healthy home solutions to fall asleep and when I got to number 15 it said to consider over-the-counter drugs!!

Still not able to upload my manga....CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE????!!!!
I had to restart my main comic-G33K!!-because it turns out when my friend was borrowing it, he got red stuff all over it...ah well, I guess it's fate because my style of drawing had changed a lot(for the better), plus the first page was missing-just thank the lord that the cover was still okay and that my current drawing is similar the cover-so that's less on my workload.
So...what do you mangaka out there-what do you find the hardest about drawing your manga? Do tell-I find coming up with different and unique character designs the most difficult.

I should REALLY stop staying up until the next morning-otherwise I'll never completely get over this cold and I'll never establish a healthy sleeping schedule...
I finished inking and colouring the 1st page of 2 on G33K!! Offline, but for some reason it keeps saying
"An Error Has Occured
You must select a piece of manga to upload."
whenever I try to sumbit a new series and upload the cover page...i sent a pm to Minto asking what I should do. In the event that she doesn't asnwer, could someone help me? Otherwise, my missed sleep will be for naught =(
I got invited to meet up with my friends at the outdoor mall tomorrow(technically it's today since my clock currently reads 2:40AM) at 7PM tomorrow, but I don't think my parents will let me go since they're older and they're guys-not a very good mix. They're my friends from Drama Club and other members will be there, but I highly doubt my parents will let me go to a dinner and movie with my older friends(only 3 people are my friends out of the whole IB freshmen class-all of my friends are older)...so I might not be able to go-to convince them, however, I've been writing an argument in my head;hopefully I won't need to use it.
I've got the second chapter of Rumour up online, here's the link for those of you that would like to read it:
Well, that's all I've basically gotta say-I have to call Mikey back cuz I was just posting to kill time until my phone charged up a little (finishing time-2:54AM) Ja ne!

Oh, cripes...
This is what my future will be like if I continue to follow the path of a manga creator:
-hurting back from bending over the work and the light table
-worsened eyesight(thank god contacts are made differently than glasses^^)(I can only see a little past my elbow w/o contacts-I'm near-sighted)
-perpetual hunger
-perpetual need of caffeine
-caffeine withdrawal symptoms
-staying up 'til the next morning or all the way through
-graphite-tinted fingers
-considering doing homework to procrastinate even though comicing can viewed as procrastinating getting homework done
-never being able to get rid of this cold
There you have it. I can get over all that though, because as long as I'm happy making my manga and others enjoy it, I'm WAY more than satisfied.
I finished G33K!! Offline's cover page-inked and coloured-, PLUS the penciled-out first installment. Note: G33K!! Offline is different from G33K!!-G33K!! Offline portrays MY life, meaning REAL events drawn out in manga!^o^ ...I just now need to convince my brother to scan these in, plus more of my drawings that way they don't look so crappy because of the horrible lighting in my room...
Actually, as I'm typing this, my clock reads 3:10AM...yeah-I should go to bed now, I stayed up until 7AM last time doing the cover for Liberi Fatali-go the my portfolio to see it, I'm too lazy to make a link sorry!
Nighty Night/Good morning!

I have a question for you guys...
"Is it okay to love two people?"
The guy I've been in love with told me that he asked our best friend this, and he said "yes." I agree, to a point; because sooner or later, you'll have to make a choice, right? Have I told you guys about our little promise? I think it's about time I did:
"When I come back, after I graduate, we'll be together again-for real this time, nobody's gonna be in the way." I was actually supposed to move to North Carolina after I finished middle school, but over the summer, it turned out we weren't ready to move yet so it's highly probable that I'll be staying here 'til after I graduate from high school. My promise buddy and I said we loved each other, and I was sure it was true...we weren't aloud to date each other, so we started dating other people (actually, I wasn't aloud to see him period, pm me if you want to know more) and kinda...well, I guess it would be cheating.
But now I'm worried-If he had to choose between his current relationship and me(if I could date him)...who would he choose? This is the first time that he's told me...he loves someone else too.
So...
Ugh...
I hate being sick...my headache makes me sensitive to sound and my body is all "stop moving! your limbs hurt like hell!!"...I just got the stuffy nose yesterday and the sore throat about three or four days ago. I've been using this time to do some drawing, but then I realized I still can't scan things in and taking pictures of what I draw then uploading them just shows you guys a horrible shading job, credit to the lighting.
I want to try to start using crayons for a while and see how complicated drawing will look in a nice usage of childhood creativity resources. I did some random drawings with Crayolas already-they give the impression of homemade and drawn for the fun of it, not to impress viewers.
On the downside, my drawing experiences kept me up and gave me an even worse cold or whatever the hell I have. On the bright side, at least I'm not sick during a school week^^ As much as I wanted to go back to school, I want vacation to last longer that way I won't have to deal with my never-hugged-as-a-child biology teacher...*friggin' old fart*
So...oh! I made a whole bunch of videos with my camera and did an experiment to see what a video post would look like. I wanted to upload it 'cuz I was pretty darn proud with what I put together, but my pride broke when I realized I shouldn't expose what I look like over the interwebz...Well, here's the moose video I did, it was the second vid I did with my camera.(If you haven't caught on, I got a video camera for Christmas^^)
