As of Now...

Well, My pappy had his surgery, and he's doing fine. I haven't been online for most of Monday so that phone calls can get through. Well, my pappy is fine. That good. Well, now I have a sort of a writer's block on working on a couple of characters. Well, not the characters as much as their look. I've got the main character pretty much down as clothing goes, and I'm pretty sure the angel-like one is good too. I just need some clothing designs for two female characters I'm working on. I'm sure I'll get theirs done. I'll just probably move on to some villain designs. That's probably going to be a challenge, and I doubt I'll ever finish. I keep thinking up new ideas that make me need to do changes, such as powers, origins, and such. That's one reason why I hardly ever get anything written down. EDIT: I got my second fanart up, Early Swordsman. It's an early concept for my main character. Please comment on it, as well as the other one. I'm still working on them, and tips would be helpful.

Not the Best Way to Start Spring Break

Ever feel like you have nothing to do, even though you have plenty to do? I have homework and other school stuff to work on, so of course I'll procrastinate on that. I also can work on character designs or the plot for my manga that seems constantly harder and harder to do. I could work out. I could even go to sleep. Still, I know there's plenty to do, but I feel like there's nothing to do. I think I know why. I woke up this morning to the noise of my stepbrother bugging me. I tried to go back to my sleep when my mom called for me. It sounded serious, not angry serious, but the even worse serious. It turns out that my grandfather, who I call pappy, had a diabetic attack think at Krystals this morning. He was being taken to the hospital. My mom and stepdad went while I watched my stepbrother. Well, they were in and out a few times this day. My pappy is not in the hospital and should be getting a pacemaker tomorrow. I hear it's not as serious of an opperation as I thought and that he should be home by Tuesday or Wednesday. Well, after watching the "Last Exile" marathon on Tech TV, I was sitting in my chair feeling like I had nothing to do. I'm sure he'll be ok, and my mom said he was acting like his usual self before she left. Well, I guess the feeling is going. I felt like typing this after all, and I'm getting my creative juices running again. I just hope everything is going to be ok. Well, type to you all later.

Late Night/Early Morning Anime Watching

It's 3:00AM. I just watched the last part of the Samurai X ova, the one where Kenshin dies at the end. *cough*kazaa*cough*. Well, I didn't like the subs because they were in some weird font and in italics, thus making then hard to read. Plus, I hear it's different than the manga (something I hope to one day find out for myself). Still, I thought it was great. The ending of how Kenshin and Kaoru are both sick and are trying to get to each other, she calls him Shinta, and his scar is gone. That was very touching. I'm not the most emotional person in the world, but I almost had a tear or two in my eye, which is rare for me (It's not a macho act. I just keep most stuff bottled up.) It was good. Well, that's it. Not much else for now. It's spring break, so slacking off doesn't give me much to talk about. Good night.

SPRING BREAK!!!

As of the moment I walked through my door after school, spring break has started. I don't have anything to post except to say that it's spring break. I love spring break. You know why? No school, duh. I get to rest, relax, stay up late (I do that anyways), and sleep late. I love not having school.

Inuyasha Question

I was thinking and two questions came to mind. 1. If Kagome keeps going back in time, how come nothing she does has any impact on the future? You would think that something big would change sometimes, but everything in the future stays the same. 2. Inuyasha lives 500 years ago in the fedual era of Japan, where there are demons everywhere. What happened? Where are the demons in Kagome's time? With many demons being so strong and powerful, it's hard to see how they would just die off. Where are the demons now? Any answers? Oh yes, more quizzes (like you haven't seen enough): theOtaku.com: What Neko Are You? theOtaku.com: What Anime Clover Are You? theOtaku.com: What Soul Calibur 2 Character Are You?

One side is a protector of life; Saint-like and pure. Another side shows off his goofyness that can be rather perverse. But, another side is shown during his battles. At these times Vash is agile and aims with incredible accuracy. He may seem completely happy and joyful on the surface, but deep inside he hides a dark past. Trigun character Quiz brought to you by Quizilla Your soul is bound to the White Rose: The Pure. "I've been waiting in the dark for a long time, shining my beacon of hope through the shadow. If you see me, don't you hide your eyes from me." The White Rose is associated with purity, honor, and chastity. It is governed by the goddess Artemis and its sign is The Cross, or Agape. As a White Rose, you are a person of your word. You may have a strong moral code, but regardless of your virtue, you always stay true to yourself. To you, love is the most pure of emotional forms and it's just a matter of waiting for it to bless you. Some people may say you are too idealistic, but it's only because you don't want to mess things up. What Rose Is Your Soul Bound To? brought to you by Quizilla The only nymph that you could be is the nymph of light. A creature of purity and happiness. You live to play and play to live. You are not naive, but are optimistic in the Fate of the world. Not to say nothing bad has happened to you, either. It's just you bounce right back. People love you for your positive attitude, and respect your ability to remain pure in such a tainted world. Buzzwords: Lively, innocent, optimistic Quote to boost the ego: She shouldn't be here. Not with him. A purity such as she should not have to be in the presence of an evil such as he. Her light and warmth would never be extinguished, but still he doubted. Would the ice and stone around his heart smother the fire in her soul? Would his own ruthless deeds turn her into one such as he? No. Her purity was absolute, as permanent as the sun. As permanent as the light itself. What Kind Of Nymph Are You? brought to you by Quizilla You are a Chained Angel. You are beautiful inside and out, yet you are shunned by some type of society whether big or small. You feel trapped and deserted. You feel like a caged animal with no way out.

Another Rant

I got a letter today saying that I got a scholarship of over $8,000 from Lincoln Memorial University. Ever hear of it. I don't know who has. The only reason I filled out the application is because it was short and that the university is surrounded by a lot os state parks, forrested areas and more like that. I don't even know much about it. I know that the tuition is over $16,000 a year, which is a lot. My dad asked me why can't I choose a college. I told him the reason: too many choices and not enough differences between them. My dad said that there are. I then said not enough for them to differ enough to allow me to make a choice. I hate all of this. I have to basically choose an important part of my life that I know I'm not ready to do. Everytime someone asked me if I want to go to college, I said yes because I thought that it was the natural progression of things and that everyone wanted me to go. Now, I'm not so certain if I even want to go. I mean, I'm sick of school as it is. I just don't know anything anymore. I just wish people would leave me alone on this issue. I just want to sleep late, read comics, watch anime, try to at least get one issue of mine done, be able to get online, and have the necesities to live. Most of all, I want to do something with my life that I like and will enjoy. I don't want some stupid job that I come home complaining about. I know I'll complain (it's what I'm doing now), but I want something that the complains would be small and petty compared to the work that I enjoy doing. I want the time to find this career. All I need now is time, space, and no one counting on me. With everyone expecting me to do something great and people like my mom saying I'm one of the most important thinks in their lives. All this pressure. It's not going to give me an ego. It's going to give me a mental break down. If anyone has any suggestions on colleges, life, or anything else pertaining to this or any of my many rants, please comment. I'll be back tomorrow to read them.
