   Y'know. . .
I was just checking on my fanart to see if I had any comments, and I looked at the Sesshomaru pic I made for Tiggerola's slumber party, and a lot of people thought he looked like a girl! Does he really? I mean, I made him a little more feminine looking, but I thought I retained his masculinity ok. Maybe adding a red tint to his lips was too much. . . heh. Sorry, that just bugged me a little. . .
Anyway, its just past 10:30 right now, and I'm watching Inuyasha. They've started showing re-runs again!!!! *Starts crying* Whaaaaa!!! No more new episodes for a long tiiiiiiimmeee!!! Whaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Nyahaha! Just kidding, although I am kinda mad, but I understand that they need time to translate and edit and all that good stuff. I still wanna get the series on DVD so I can see it in Japanese. Since I heard those samples on ElvesAteMyRamen's site(choppy as my crappy connection made them) I've been curious.
By the way, I forgot to mention how the whole Nurkle thing went. As it turns out, there were three other people who were on the same page as me, so we all went on stage at the same time and saved ourselves some embarrassment.
Oh! And guess what my friend Kim did!! She dyed her hair!! It's a dark brownish purple now! Its only temporary, but I think it looks awesome! So I bugged my mom, and she's gonna let me dye mine too. I already dye it strawberry blonde (cause my natural color is a weird brown-blonde color), but I think I'd like to dye the ends black. Or maybe red. . . hmmm. . I'm not sure yet. . . Speaking of hair, I got my school pictures back, and I look weird with my hair up! I also managed to smile very strangely. My mom says I look like an elf, and I think she's right.-_-'
Well, anyways. Thanks for all of the feedback on my manga. Especially Logan, lots of suggestions, and once I look at the pics, I agree with most of them. Thanks Logan-kun!! ^_^

   Here's my manga!!
Well, the first four pages anyway. I ended up shading them by hand. Enjoy!!
*And I expect feedback!!!*
Page 1

Page 2

Page 3

Page 4

Did you like it? Does it look ok? Please tell me!! This is for a contest, so if ANYTHING is wrong with it, tell me, and I promise I won't get mad!!
Updates on the whole car thing. I don't think we're going to be able to fix Scott's car. But my car is gonna be ok. It just needed a new water pump. That'll be a pretty penny, but we can afford it. It'll be a couple of days, but my baby's comin back!! Jerry calls it the 'Dragon Wagon' because I have dragon seat covers. And I plan on getting some dragon patterned material and safety pinning it to the backseat. My car is awesome!!!
Love y'all lots!!! ^_^

   Well, I had an interesting day. . .
Thats an understatement!! This morning I got in a car wreck!! It was pretty foggy, and my brother was going kinda fast, and the stop sign came up really fast. . . So did the car stopped at the sign. Scott swerved at the last second, but our front right still slammed into their back left. I just kinda sat there for a sec and was like "What the crap? Did we just crash?!" It was just a fender bender, but still, my brother's car is pretty messed up. The front right headlight is completely gone, and his transmission has a hole in it or something. The worst part is that my car is in the shop too, so we officially don't have a ride to school! Well, unless my mom can be convinced to lend us her car.
Oh, and the person we crashed into was one of my classmates!! Luckily no one was hurt, but her car wouldn't start and had to be towed. After that we both got a ride from one of the nice people that stopped to see if we were ok. Scott had to stay and deal with the insurance and the cops and all that good stuff. He didn't show up to school at all today, so I had to bum a ride off Jerry. Not that I mind spending time with him! ^_^
Speaking of Jerry, he's coming over on Friday! We have the day off, so if he doesn't show again I officially have permission to kick his ass!
Well, the Dr. Suess thing is tomorrow. Pray that I get sick or something! Or maybe Mom will take pity on me and let me take the morning off. . . of course she's still mad for that one time I stayed home without checking with her first. . . Please let her be in a good mood!!
Tomorrow I'll post the first couple of pages of my manga, and I expect comments!!!
(I won't be posting them in my fanart, but here on my site so they can be easily removed)
Later!!

   Last Day of February!
I had a really good day today! Nothing great happened or anything, I'm just happy today! ^_^
My manga is coming along nicely. I have a page and a half left to draw, and 15 pages to ink. I still haven't decided how I'm going to shade them though. I might do it on the computer, or I might do it by hand, or I might even use screentones. Probably by hand though. It all depends on if my copier can pick up the pencil shading or not.
Well, I do have one reason to be happy. I got to spend about an hour just talking with my mom. (That's why I'm posting a little later than usual) She's been so busy with work lately that I haven't gotten to see her too much. I helped her plant some blueberries. I don't like blueberries, but my dad does, so they're for him.
About the whole Dr. Suess thing, I've found out what a Nurkle is, and I am not happy. It's like a dog lookin thing with a loong nose with a ball on the end. My 'costume' is a paper cone with a crumpled up red peice of paper taped to the end of it. joy. What wa funny though was when my teacher started complaining about my class's attitude. Almost everyone is like "yeah. . F*** that." And I agree with them. Wanna know something interesting about my advocate? There are six girls and fifteen boys! And two of the girls almost never show up, so me and Kim are outnumbered! But the guys are fun, well, Jesse and Will are anyway.
Guess I'll talk to you guys later!

   Yay! I got to go after all!!
My dad and brother actually ended up coming back for me! We went to Borders (where I bought Fruits Basket Vol. 3 Luved it!! ^_^), then to the movies. My mom would've come too, but she was really tired. Today she's sick. Poor mom! I think I'll make her some tea or something.
Anyway, we went and saw Constantine last night. I really liked it!! The special effects were awesome and the story was interesting. Very good movie!! ^_^
Right now I'm watching Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Another of Miyazaki-sama's amazing movies! I'm still not sure if I like the new vocal cast, but all of the new scenes are really good, and the movie makes more sense with them.
Well I finally got the banner for The Otaku Prayer Ring if ya hadn't noticed. Kudos to LivingDoll for making it!
Well, back to my movie!!

   I've been left!!
Whaaaaa! My dad and brother went to town without meeeee!! *begins sobbing very fakely* Nyahaha! Sorry bout that! But I really did get left. It's my own fault though, so I'm not mad or anything. I just woke up really late then took too long in the shower. At least I smell good now! ^_^ Like oranges. . . and soap. . hmmm, oddly enough those smell good together.
Well, my mom should be home from work soon, so maybe we can have a girl's night out! That would be fun. I haven't done anything with my mom for quite awhile, so we need some quality time. Is it weird to want to spend time with me madre? hmmm, maybe thats another one of the many reasons my friends think I'm weird?
Anyway, how do you all like my new banner? Courtesy of ElvesAteMyRamen! Go Yuki!! Oh, and Lynsey, I have officially decided on what I'm doing for that contest, but I'm not telling cause its a surprize!!
Can you guys tell that I'm just a wee bit hyper right now?
Anyway, hope everyone has a good day!! I'm off to work on my manga!!

   Hmmm. . . Another late post!
Yeah. It's 11:38 P.M. right now! I just got done watching my favorite Hiyao Miyazaki movie; Princess Mononoke!!!!! I absolutely LOVE this movie! No matter how many times I watch it, it never gets old! I love all of Miyazaki-sama's work, but this one is the best in my opinion. Maybe I'll do some Mononoke fanart. . .
Wait! I can't!! Actually, I probably won't be posting art for awhile. . . no! Don't hurt me!! I have to work on my manga!! Problem is, I can't post it without breaching the rules of the contest I'm entering. No previously published work. It can't have been posted on any public forums either. Maybe I can post a page or two for a couple of days then take it down. . . Speaking of art, my Naota painting is finally DONE!! I just need to wait for Mrs. Stokes to grade it, then I can take it home. Then I face the problem of scanning it. It's 2ft by 3ft, so it's obviously way too big for my scanner. I know! I'll borrow Jerry's digital camera and take a piccy of it! Maybe I'll even hold it up or something so you all can see what I look like. Or maybe not. . . I like to keep people wondering. ^_^
Anyway, back to my manga. Mrs. Stokes, as it turns out, thinks that manga is a legitimate art project. Coolio!! Now I can work on my manga during class without getting in trouble!! Woot!!
OO! Guess what I did earlier! I went to Walmart and got a CD that I've been wanting for quite awhile now; Chevelle!! Their new CD is called 'This Type Of Thinking Could Do Us In'. I listened to the whole thing earlier and I luvluvluv it!!
Hmmm. . . I wonder why my late night posts always end up being longer than my daytime posts. . .?
Anyway, see you all tomorrow!!!

   RAAAWWRRRR!!!!! plus some art.
Anyway, I'm very angry with my advocate teacher right n- Hold on a sec.
Me- Scott, quit watching me!! Go away!!
Scott- Whatcha writing about? Huh? Huh?
Me-*smacks* piss off!!
*ahem* Back on subject. I'm mad at my advocate teacher. For Dr. Seuss's birthday every year my school holds this assembly where we read to the elementary kids. Everyone hates it. So this year they decided to do things a little different. Each sophmore class was paired with a senior class(freshman and juniors too, but I don't care about them at the moment) and they had to come up with something to do for the elementary class assigned to them. Well, we left it up to the seniors, and guess what we get to do! A play. It is the most retarded thing I've ever heard of (won't bore you with the stupid ass story), but long story short, we all have to dress up like made up animals and prance around. How stupid is that?! I think I may just skip school that day if only to save my pride. It wouldn't have been so bad if I could like be a stage hand or something, but that's not participating, so I have to be a Nerkle. What's a Nerkle you ask? I have no flippin idea and I don't really give a shit either.
Grrrrr. Maybe I should dress all scary and freak out the little ones. Bwahahaha!
Anyway, I've got one fanart today, and I'm also going to post part three of my story. Speaking of art, I ended up redoing the bg on my Naota painting. The darker red was just too dark, so I went over it with a lighter dark red(if that makes sense.). I'll see how it looks dry tomorrow.
Later!
