   Still Here!

Time of Post: 10:56 PM(MT) Hey there! Yeah, I know I said I'd be gone today, but silly me, I forgot about the time difference! It's still Saturday where I'm at, so I'm not leaving until tomorrow. But I was right about when I'd be getting back. At least I'll be back in time for my birthday, neh? Oh! Speaking of my birthday, I got two early presents today! One from Jerry, and one from my brother. I really wasn't expecting to get anything from Jerry, so that was a pleasant surprise. He got me "How to Draw Manga: Occult and Horror" which is something I need to work on. I'm not too great at drawing blood. The other present, from my brother, has got to be the most adorable thing I've ever seen!! It's a plushie of Kyo from Fruits Basket!! He's in his cat form with a pissed off look on his face, and it is soooo kawaii!! I love it!! *huggles plushie* Oh, and guess what! I forgot to mention yesterday that we had some family friends from Texas staying over. Their names are John and Jonny, and Jonny is a woman btw. They have two kids, Alex and Shaun(both of which are girls), and Jonny went to highschool with my mom. Anyway, what I wanted to tell you guys is that I have hooked yet another unwitting soul on Fruits Basket! Yes! I told John how good it was, and he got curious and asked to watch it. We all ended up watching the whole first disk!! And now I think he wants to buy it. *grin* Slowly but surely I'm spreading Furuba around! Lets see, let me count how many people I've hooked on it. . . . hmm, at least five. *bigger grin* Ah, well anyways, I also finished Chapter 3 of my Gundam Fanfic(which is why I'm posting later than usual; I had to finish typing it.). Click Here for Chapter 1,(those who haven't read it yet) and Here for Chapter 3. Okay, see you all on Thursday!! ^_^

   I'm Baaaack!!

Time of Post: 10:31 PM(MT) Hello hello! Yup, I'm back and I'm feeling much better! I even have two new pics to submit! ^_^ One is a head shot of Kinari, and the other is a request I got to draw Relena from Gundam Wing. Oh! And speaking of Gundam Wing, I've submitted my fanfic to fanfiction.net! If you want to read the second chapter, click Here! And I'm working on chapter three as well. Oh, and to those who don't know, its Yaoi, so if you don't like that, don't read it. Umm, other than that, I'm going to be gone again this weekend. We're going camping, so I won't have access to a computer. I'll be gone Sunday through Wednesday. It's another family reunion, but at this one, I'll actually know all of the people there! It'll be fun to catch up with all of my cousins. Alright, well, that's all for me! Ja mate ashita-ne!!

   Hey everyone.

Time of Post: 12:39 AM(MT) I'm sorry I've been so bad about posting and visiting people over the past few days. The only reason I'm on right now is to tell you guys that I'm going to take a break. I might still get on and visit people and things like that, but I won't be posting. Don't worry, this is only for a couple of days, or a week at the most. My reason is that I haven't been feeling like myself lately, and I don't want you guys to see that side of me. Well, now that that's out of the way, I guess this will be a normal post. I just got back from the local fireworks show. It was great, as always. It seems our little town of Melba is getting more and more popular on the fourth of July. I've never seen it so crowded!! And more importantly, I've never seen so many people there that I don't know. Living in a town that small, this is a rare occurance. Umm, other than that, I've written another chapter of my Gundam fanfic, if anyone wants to read it. Ok, well, see you all whenever.

   Ahh! I'm sorry!!

Time of Post: 1:13 AM(MT) Ahh! Gomenasai! I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday! I had a friend over again, and she wouldn't let me near the computer. Something about "unhealthy amounts of internet time" eheh. Also, since she was over, I didn't get any drawing time, so those pics I promised aren't done yet either. -_-"" Please forgive me!! Umm, in better news, I went and saw 'War of the Worlds' earlier! ^_^ The only word I can think of to describe that movie is "WOW!" It was very intense, had me on the edge of my seat the whole time!! It gets a 10/10 in my book!! Alright, well, sorry this is a short post, but I honestly don't have anything else interesting to talk about! Buuut! I have a question of the day! What is your favorite board game? Mine is a tie between Cranium and Clue. Ja mate ashita-ne!

   Eheh

Time of Post: 10:25 PM(MT) Sorry, no pics today. I spent my day being a lazy bum and reading instead of drawing. I'll have them done by tomorrow, I promise! ^_^ Ah, I downloaded the coolest amv today! It was set to the remix of the Elivis song "A Little Less Conversation", and the person tried to make it like the actual video, but with anime characters. I loved it!! ^_^ Well, update on my manga reading escapade, I finished re-reading DNAngel on my trip, and I read Crescent Moon earlier today. Up next is Comic Party! I love that manga, simply because I really understand the main character. Ahh, the hardships of amatuer manga! *grin* Alright, well thats all for today! Ja mate ashita-ne!! P.S. 14 days til my B-day!!!

   Woo!!

Time of Post: 10:04 PM(MT) I fi~ixed it! I fi~ixed it!! Woo! *does the happy dance* Oh yes, I fi~ixed it!! Huh? Fixed what? Why, my scanner, of course!! *grin* And yes I was the one who fixed it! I was going to wait for my dad to do it, but he's been so busy lately that I figured I should just give it a shot. And it worked!! All I had to do was uninstall, then reinstall the program, and tadaa! It suddenly worked again, like nothing had happened! Ya~ay!! *giggle* Anyway, after I got it fixed, I spent about half an hour scanning stuff. I have a grand total of nine new pics! And they're all up for viewing! Three of them are concept art for Akaii Neko(which, by the way, translates to 'Red Cat' for those who don't know), one for Lordsesshomaru, one of Hakkai from Saiyuki, a mini-comic featuring two of my charas, two of Makoto, and last but not least, one of Nica and Kinari. Not sure if I put them in the right order, but neh. Eheh, my brother's reaction to the one of Nica and Kinari was pretty funny. He was just like "Whoa! I've never seen you draw something like that before!" >_< Ack! But of course he didn't read the dialogue I had with it, so he didn't really get the point of the picture. It makes sense if you know the characters. ^_^ And I have a couple more pics that I'm still working on right now. They should be done by tomorrow. Heh, leave me scanner-less for a few days and I draw like a maniac! XD Umm, alright well, that was the highlight of my day. Nothing else interesting happened. Sooo. . . Ja mate ashita-ne!!

   Ohayo!!

Time of Post: 10:10 PM(MT) Hello hello everyone! How have we been today? ^_^ Ahh, once again, for no apparent reason, I'm in a good mood. I really need to figure out what I'm doing to be so happy, so that I can do it in the future. Ahh, well, I didn't do much of anything today. Just watched my brother play Fable(he brought his Xbox into the living room, so I didn't have much of a choice) and I downloaded a couple of AMVs. One was to "Psycho" by System of a Down, it was alright, but the person could've put a bit more effort into it. Another was to "The Last Song" by Gackt. I'd never heard any of his music before, so that was pretty interesting(oh, and they used Saiyuki for that one, and the System of a Down one used a whole bunch of different animes.) and last was a very ummm. . odd video. It was called "Yatta! Hooray for anime!!" That song was soo weird, but really funny! I enjoyed that video immensely!! ^_^ Ahh, and here's a couple of random Saiyuki pictures! Sanzo!! ^_^ The Group! Another of the group! And last, one of Hakkai! ^_^ I post these because my current anime obsession is Saiyuki! You know, for awhile it was Love Hina, then Fruits Basket, and now Saiyuki. I recomend this manga to anyone who comes accross it!! ^_^ Ja mate ashita-ne!!

   Komban wa!!

Time of Post: 10:01 PM(MT) Hey everyone! How do you like the new background? I was going for something a little softer and not quite so distracting. Did it work? (Gotta love DNAngel!!) Well, I'm in a very good mood! No particular reason, I just feel good today. ^_^ I've been drawing like a nut today as well! I got two pics done, plus several pages of the rough draft for that manga idea I had -Akaii Neko. Its going pretty well so far. Ahhh, I can't wait until my scanner is fixed!! I'll have a lot of stuff to post then!! ^_^ Oh, my brother and I have a new joke to weird people out. People who have watched Fruits Basket in japanese might get it. ^_^ You know how occasionally Shigure and Ayame will spout off romantics to eachother, then give eachother a thumbs-up and say "Yes!" just to freak people(a.k.a. Yuki and Kyo) out? Ahh, well in japanese, they say "Yosh!" which means "Right on!" Well, my brother and I have perfect timing, and one of us will let the other know when, then we'll both go "Yosh!" and hold up our thumbs. Got a really weird look from my mom! *giggle* Its just really fun to do!! *holds up thumb* Yosh!! Ja mata ashita-ne!! ^_^

   I'm finally home for awhile!!

Time of Post:10:15 PM(MT) Well, obviously we ended up staying the night in Hagerman. The hotel we stayed in was. . . umm, rather, well the best word I can think of is seedy. Don't get me wrong, it was nice in its own way, just the whole place smelled like cigarettes, and there was no hot water. Eheh. At least the bed was comfortable, neh? Anyway, on the way home, I managed to convince my parents to stop at Borders. I bought DNAngel vol. 8, and Saiyuki vol. 3. I already read DNAngel(really really good! I can't wait for the next one!!), and I'm working on Saiyuki. Oh! Speaking of Saiyuki, I did a fanart of Hakkai on my trip. Buuut, my stupid scanner is still out of commission, so it'll have to wait. Along with a bunch of other pics I did while I was gone. *pouts* They're really starting to pile up. Well, how has everyone been while I was gone? I hope I didn't miss too much! ^_^ I'm off to visit people! G'night!

   *YAWN*

Time of Post: 2:37 AM(MT) Yeah its nearing 3:00 in the morning, and I just got home. Good gravy I'm tired! So why am I awake then? I have no idea. . . maybe I'm just stupid or something. Anyway, we went to Mesa Falls today. Beautiful, beautiful waterfalls. Simply gorgeous!! I've been there before, but it never ceases to wow me with its beauty. My parents' friends came with us to that. They were suprized that something so beautiful could be hiding in remote little Ashton Idaho. ^_^ After that, we had dinner with them again, along with Bret and his wife, Cheleste. Remember the other Erin that I saw last week? Yeah, well Bret is her brother. It's always fun to see him; he's very funny. Oh! And he and Cheleste had a baby! Now, I've seen plenty of cute babies, but this one definitely takes the cake. He's six weeks old and his name is Hayden I think. He's so cute I can't stand it!! >_< He seemed really alert for his age too. Well, after dinner, we just came straight home. Five hours in the car. FIVE!! Ah well, I had my dad's laptop the whole way back(no internet in the car though ToT) and I watched the second disc of my Fruits Basket boxed set. That actually took up about four hours! So I suppose I shouldn't complain about it. . . although then again my butt is still asleep. . . Ahhh, that should probably be put under 'too much information', neh? I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm alive. Also, I might not be here again tomorrow. Yeah, you remeber the whole 'family-but-not-family-reunion'? Well it turns out that that IS this weekend. We're gonna drive to Hagerman tomorrow(only two hours instead of five) and we might or might not spend the night. Depending on when my next post is, I guess we'll find out, neh? Okay, I'm going to sleep now. Oyasuminasai!! ^_^
