   Kom Ban Wa

Time of Post: 10:31 PM(MT) Current Gundam Mood: Contemplative. Hnnn, long day today. We called a service to come pick up Charlie's body, but they can't come until tomorrow. I made a point of avoiding going outside today because I didn't want to see him like that, even if they did put a tarp over him. Poor Charlie. *sniffle* My mom was a bit more sad than she was yesterday. I think it's because the news had more time to sink in. She kept sighing all day; it was quite depressing. Of course I stuck by her and tried to cheer her up. We watched movies, and my friend came over for a couple of hours to play cards. She seems much better than she did earlier, but I don't think it will completely pass until the body is gone. *sigh* In other news, my kitten goes in tomorrow to get spayed. She's gotten to that age where a trip outside could mean kittens for us to deal with, so off she goes so that we can lock her outside when she's bad without worry of that happening. She's probably gonna hate us for a while, but it'll be better for her in the end, neh? Hmm, what else? Oh, my mini-comic is now two pages long. Yay me! ^_~ I really have no idea how long it's going to end up being, but I'm making faster progress than I expected. Let's hope this keeps up! ^_^ Random Notebook Scan of the Day: None today, because I'm too lazy at the moment to go digging through my notebooks. Instead I'll post some pictures where I love the facial expressions. First, K-san from Gravitation. Next, Haruko from FLCL. Kamon, also from FLCL. And last, several characters from Gundam Wing, chibi-fied and ready for bed! ^_^ Oyasumi!

   Hello!

Time of Post: 11:58 PM(MT) Current Gundam Mood: Happy and a bit giggly. Hokay, I have a lot to cover today, so let's get going! First off, I apologize for missing the last two days I have no other excuse besides my own laziness and preoccupation with other things, lol. Second, I finished my book! Ohhh that's one of the best books I've read in a looong time! I can't wait to get the next one which is called 'The Vampire Lestat'. I also rented and watched the movie version of 'Interview With the Vampire'. It was definitely worth all of the reccomendations--I really enjoyed it! It was a little weird to see Tom Cruise as a blonde though. . . Anyway, that was loads of fun and finishing the book took most of my time on Thursday. Not a whole lot happened yesterday (Friday) but that's when I watched the movie. . . Oh! Wait! Something interesting did happen! I've started on a mini-comic for my story 'Nameless'--that's the one with Takuya, Nanashi, Jiro, and Kanashi. The only thing I'll say about the plot is that it has something to do with plushies. *grins* So far I have a cover and one page for it *sweatdrops* but I promise I'll work more on it and try to get it done as soon as possible. Oh, and one other thing happened yesterday that wasn't very good. My mom's horse, Charlie, died. We're not sure why, but I personally think it was either old age--he was almost 19--or he was rolling around and twisted his intestines and created a blockage that killed him. There's a name for that, but I forget what it is. I wanna say Collick(sp?), but I'm not sure. She was kinda bummed, but it wasn't entirely unexpected with his age. Ah, and on to today! I wuv my mommy! Guess what she got me on her way home from work! A set of portrait Prismacolor colored pencils! That basicly means it's a lot of flesh, hair, and eye tones. ^_____^ I lovelovelove it! Oh, and she also got me a colorless blender! I've been wanting to try one of those for the longest time! So expect some pics from me soon that have smooth, blended color. ^_~ Well, I went and saw 'The Pink Panther' tonight; that's why I'm so late posting. I had very low expectations going in--it wasn't my choice, I wanted to see 'The Hills Have Eyes', but I got out-voted--but it was surprisingly good. Not like "Wow, that was a great movie!" good, but more like "Hey, that was actually kinda funny." good. It got a few laughs at least. It gets an 8/10 in my book. Random Notebook Scan of the Day: Okies! Here's part two of "Proof That I Have WAY Too Much Free Time At School". It's a pic of Jiro, done in red, blue, black, and green ink, as well as a little highlighter. The colors are much brighter in person, but unfortunately, my scanner decided to be annoying and scanned them in kinda dull. In the actual picture, Jiro's hair almost looks like it's radioactive or something because the highlighter was so bright. Also, you can tell that his pants are dark blue; they look kinda black here. Oyasumi!

   Just Another Day. . .

Time of Post: 10:20 PM(MT) Current Gundam Mood: Meh. Nothing too interesting happened today. Just one of those filler days of life. I suppose something interesting could have happened if I'd gone out of my way to find it, but I was reading most of the day and didn't seek any other entertainment. You know, that's the problem when I find a really good book; I tend to just gobble it up and completely ignore the outside world until I finish it. Anyone else have that habit? Ano. . . I guess that's it. -_-" Wow, super long post today, neh? XD Random Notebook Scan of the Day: Okay, this is the first of two pics that I have decided to title "Proof That I Have WAY Too Much Free Time At School". Both this one and the one I will post tomorrow were drawn on the same day, and they took roughly and hour each, which is quite a bit of time at school. Just showing that sometimes I really do have too much free time. ^_^ Anyway, for the description; first, it was done in red, black, and blue ink. Second, in this picture I was trying to portray Takuya in a more calm, mature light. I think I did well, though I have yet to show this to someone and not have them comment on his shirt. . . . Okay! I admit it! I have a shoulder-fetish! I just love shirts that show shoulders or at least a generous amount of neck. That's why I put so much detail in that area. >_< I just have a weird fascination with collar-bones and neck muscles and the various dips and curves. I've always been like that; in a lot of my older drawings, the only thing that would look vaguely good would be the collar-bones. . . Mayhap I've read too many vampire books and that's where the interest comes from. . .? Bah, nevermind! Oyasumi!

   *Ya~awn*

Time of Post: 10:16 PM(MT) Current Gundam Mood: Tired. *stretches* Hnyaaa! Man, today was a long day. That's probably because I spent most of the afternoon home alone--everyone was at work--and time always seems to pass more slowly when I'm by myself. Usually I enjoy my solitude (that brother of mine is a noisy one) but today the hours just seemed to drag out endlessly. Around seven or so, I decided that I'd waste some time by taking one of those loooong showers that I almost never get to take. But, I didn't want to leave my music behind, because the house is just too darn quiet when no one's home. So what did I do? I did a quick burn of what I was listening to to a cd, then took said cd and put it in my parent's dvd player--the shower is in their room--and turned the volume way up. Of course, since the world works the way it does, my mom got home when I was in the middle of my shower. She comes in and yells "Wanted music with your shower, did you?" I was really embarassed because she caught me singing along with 'D-technolife' by UVERworld (one of the themes for Bleach), but luckily she didn't tease me about it. Still, that'll teach me to sing in the shower, neh? ^_^" Heheh, well that was the interesting point of my day. I'm so fascinating, aren't I? lol Random Notebook Scan of the Day: GASP! Look! A background! Yes, this is one of my more successfull attempts at putting a background on a drawing. How do you think I did? Oyasumi!

   More, More, More!

Time of Post: 10:00 PM(MT) Current Gundam Mood: I'm So Sorry! >_< I meant to post yesterday, but you see, my computer had a mild heart attack and had to rest for the evening. I wasn't able to post then, but it's all good now. ^_^ Hmm, so what happened today? Well, most of my class (the Juniors of Melba High) went on a field trip to check out Idaho colleges today. I opted to stay because none of the colleges they were visiting had very good art programs--well, that and I like my morning classes. XD Oh, and I also spent the afternoon wearing the left over Mardi Gras beads from when my mom's work had a little party. Actually, I'm wearing them right now! I love Mardi Gras beads--they're so deliciously gaudy! ^^ *giggle* I mentioned in my last post that I was reading 'Interview With the Vampire', and you want to know something funny? Almost every single comment mentioned something about the movie. I knew there was a movie already, but now that I've had some reccomendations for it, I'm even more eager to see it. ^_^ Okies, I have two things for you guys to check out today. One! I have finally gotten a video in my intro! I found the second opening to Gundam Wing on Sharkle.com (great site by the way, you should check that out too), which I think is called "Endless Duel" and it's by Two-Mix--correct me if I'm wrong. I absolutely adore this song! Listen to it? Pweeeaaase? *big liquid chibi eyes* Anyway, the other thing I wanted you guys to check out, waaas. . . my new fanart! Yep that's right, The Erin-chan has more art! (Heheh, thankies Logan-kun for the "The" in my name, lol ^_~). I drew this one entirely at school, and I'm sad to say that my coloring isn't nearly as good as usual. The reason for this is that I didn't have my Prismacolor colored pencils with me and I had to make due with what my various teachers had in their classrooms. *pouts* The Prismacolors really do make a huge difference in the quality. Regardless, I would really appriciate it if you guys would go check out Takuya and his poorly colored hat. ^_^" Random Notebook Scan of the Day: Oyasumi!

   More New Art!

Time of Post: 10:51 PM(MT) Current Gundam Mood: Surprisingly happy. ^_^ I just got home about 15 minutes ago. I went out to dinner with my dad and brother--my mom would've gone, but she was really tired so she stayed home. We went to a little Mexican restaraunt in our area that has very good food. It was nice, though no body really talked much. I guess we were too busy stuffing our faces, neh? ^_~ Anyway, before that I spent my day at home reading and drawing. I'll get to the second in a moment, but first I'll talk about my book. I've just started reading 'Interview With the Vampire' by Anne Rice. I've heard loads about this book, but never actually read it. So I'm reading it now. ^_^ I'm about 40 pages into it, and I'm enjoying it so far. I'll let you guys know when I finish it. Anyway, on to the art. I've done a pic for St. Patrick's Day! ^_^ I know I'm early. . . how early, I'm not sure though. . . when is St. Patrick's Day anyway? Like what's the exact date? I've never been able to remember--I just know that it's in March. ^_^"" So anyway, it's in my fanart if ya wanna take a peek. . . *gets out the intercom* Green koolaid and little clover-shaped sugar cookies with green icing and sprinkles are waiting in my gallery. You know how it works--cookie for a vote and or comment. *hits 'off' button and cringes* . . . . Yay! No noise! ^___^ Now go see the art! Random Notebook Scan of the Day: This right here is technically the very first character design of Takuya. As you can see he's changed a fair amount but the basics are the same. Of course he's not chibi now, and his eyes are different, but his hair and ears haven't changed. I found this in one of my old notebooks and figured I'd share. ^_^ Oyasumi!

   Nyan

Time of Post: 10:13 PM(MT) Current Gundam Mood: Just kinda tired. I had a loooong day today. Not bad or anything, just long. I went to school, had a rather uneventful day. . . well, except for when I gave Nena her picture. She loved it very much, which of course pleased me. Oh, and to Lordsesshomaru, you're right, he did look like Chad! I didn't even realize it until you said so. I must've been the hair, neh? ^_^ Other than the picture thing, the main event of my day was working all afternoon on and off on my newest fanart. It's up and waiting for votes and comments right now. This one started during my Spanish class as a way to pass time and I ended up finishing it. As far as what the picture is of, let's just say it's been a while since I did a Fruits Basket picture. ^_~ Sooo. . . that's all I have to say today. Go see the fanart! Shoo! Off with ya! *pulls out a little intercom thing* There are cookies and your choice of milk or juice waiting in my gallery. Trade a vote and or comment to recieve your share. *attempts to shut off intercom, but it instead emits an ear-piercing static squeal* >_< Whoops! *yanks cord from wall and noise stops* Sorry 'bout that. Anyway. . . uh, fanart and all that, neh? Random Notebook Scan of the Day: Oyasumi!

   Hnnnn. . . .

Time of Post: 11:08 PM(MT) Current Gundam Mood: I forgive him. . . maybe. . . Okay, so my friend apologized, and has been telling people that what he said was a joke and that I wasn't really like that. His excuse to me was that he thought people knew me well enough that they'd just kinda already know it was a joke. Not bloody likely! I've gone to school with most of these people since kindergarten, and I still manage to confuse them on an almost daily basis. So, anyway, I'm debating if I want to hold a grudge or not. He did apologize. . . but he shouldn't have done it in the first place. . . *grumbles* Ah, well let's go to a different subject. I had a dentist appointment today. I got a filling in one of my upper-right molars. I always think that numbing stuff is so weird. My whole right cheek was numb for most of the morning, and when I did get the feeling back, I had some pain in the molar that had gotten the filling. Is that normal? My brother says it is, but I don't recall there being any pain the last time I got a filling. . . oh well, anyway, because my appointment was in the morning, I got to school late today and missed my favorite classes (curses!) but I had a good day regardless. My friend, Nena, lent me a poster she has so that I could draw it. Which brings me to my next point--I have new fanart! Yepyep, I drew another picture of Shaun White for my obsessed friend. It's been a few months since I drew him last, and I wanted to see if I could still do it. Votes and comments earn snow cones! What else? . . . Oh, I spent almost all afternoon figuring out how my mp3 player works and putting a crap load of music on it. I have several hours of music on there, so I won't be wanting of tunes for quite a while. Especially not since I found a song from Gravitation that I've been looking for for months. It's called 'Shining Collection' and I could listen to it allll day, it's so good! I wuv the music from Gravitation! Rock on, Shuichi and Ryuichi!! ^_~ Random Notebook Scan of the Day: I originally intended this one to be a boy, but half way through I changed my mind. I think the only place you can really tell is the hips, which are a bit on the bony side. Oyasumi!

   I! Hate! Rumors!

Time of Post: 10:14 PM(MT) Current Gundam Mood: I really think I'm going to kill him. Ah, it was back to school for me today. . . and I found that the rumor has spread even worse than before. I had people looking at me funny all day, and one of my classmates even asked me about it. She tried to be subtle of course, but I could tell exactly what she was asking about. I am going to kill my friend! I don't care if it was a joke! He had no right to talk about me that way, and now half the school thinks I'm. . . well, that I'm "loose", to put it politely. I haven't even kissed anyone, let alone done that sort of thing! *major eye-twitch* And he's acting exactly the same around me and can't seem to figure out why I'm mad. Asshole. So, because of that, I've been in a rather foul mood all day. I took a nap earlier to relieve the stress, and it helped a little bit, but I still have a head ache, and I can't seem to keep the scowl from my face. Well, tomorrow is Fat Tuesday for Mardi Gras, and I was going to wear some beads that my mom bought to school, but in the light of recent events, I think that might only exacerbate my situation--we all know what beads mean--so I'm not going to anymore. Grrr! Random Notebook Scan of the Day: Feh, well even if I can't wear my beads, I'll still post a doodle of a mask I did a while ago. Masks go with Mardi Gras too. Sorry for the ranty post today, guys, but I'm more than a little miffed. Oyasumi!

   Kom ban wa!

Time of Post: 10:00 PM(MT) Current Gundam Mood: Mmm, content. How was everyone's weekend? Mine was nice. I slept and lazed around and generally stayed pretty relaxed. The only really interesting thing that happened was that my brother got a motorcycle. Yes, you heard me right, a motorcycle. It's just a little thing, but he got it to save money on gas. . . well, that and he loves motorcycles. ^__^ Other than that, I spent a fair amount of time looking for pictures for my Gundam site. Since I have nothing much else to talk about, I'll share a few that I liked. There, hope you enjoyed that. And I'm out, because Chrono Crusade is starting. Random Notebook Scan of the Day: Oyasumi!
