Whew!
Hmm....I don't think that's how you spell that. But whatever.

I just submitted 7 pictures. It took a long time to get all those up. One is for Sessfloof and the other six (which orginally was one picture but had to be broken down into six to fit) are for ChristianOtaku. I hope they like them!

I forgot to say something in my last post so I'll say it now. Happy Birthday to the four friends who had a birthday yesterday. And everyone else, of course, who might have had a birthday yesterday (or today too for that matter) Happy Birthday!!!

Now that that's all out of the way....Nothing new really to report. I've gotten right back to being at home. I'm still putting off getting a job....though I should really just do it. I don't think I mentioned this before, but my friends and I are making a short movie this summer. Or that's the plan. We're all pretty spread out right now. But everyone's casted. We just need to scrap together the money to make it happen.

Well, I hope everyone enjoys the week!

Back At Last!
It's my first day back from my week long outing. It was something like a vacation with family reunion stuff thrown in. We celebrated my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. And I met a cousin I never knew I had (technically, he's my second cousin but with my family heritage, you just call everyone "cousin" or "aunt", etc). He's 24 and will be leaving for India this year to study. Good luck to him!

It was so hot there! It would be 7 o'clock in the morning and it would be hot. I don't like hot weather and I'm not quite sure how I survived a week there....

I had a little anime experience too. When we were leaving for the party, I saw this girl walk across the street dressed as a samurai, complete with sword. For some reason, this didn't register in my brain. I thought, "Oh, she must take kendo...." But then at the next light I saw two more girls dressed like game characters. And then I saw two kids dressed up as Inu-Yasha and Kagome and THEN it finally hits me. There's a con nearby! Turns out it was just down the street. I wanted to go so bad! My little cousins went too and they got some pretty cool stuff.

I have to say sorry to ChristianOtaku and Sessfloof for my delay on their pictures. I left before I could finish them! I hope to have them up later.

Anyway, enjoy the day!

School has now officially been out for a weeks. Woo. You have no idea (or maybe you do) how hard it was for me to cram for my finals. I could hardly bring myself to attempt at studying. But somehow I got it done and passed with points to spare.

My grandma has come to live with us for a month. She's been here a little over a week. She has Alzheimer's Disease but despite the fact that she asks me how old I am at least three times a day, every day, I think in the time being here, she's improved a little. It's a little sad to see her like this though. I think my dad has gotten more irritable since she came because he has to take care of her but he handles her pretty well. And my brother suddenly decided to develope an attitude. So there's been a lot of changes in my house lately.

Do you know how strange miso soup is? Really, think about it. The soup is soy bean paste with chunks of fermented bean (that's the tofu); soy on soy (and if you're lucky, you get bits of onion or bread in there too, oh and of course there's water too). That's like...mochi with rice--without the bean curd in the middle of the mochi! The things we eat...At least it tastes good.

I had all these scraps of paper all on my nightstand with titles of books that I have yet to read. I never have time to read. So today I went and compiled them all into one list. It ended up with a nice 200. And that's not counting series or other books that author's have written or the series that I have on me that I have to read. I'll have my reading cut out for me this summer.

I was going through my art things today (I've got a box filled with stuff) and I realized I have, like, 5 erasers and 3 packs of drawing pencils. I never use them. Heck, I don't even know HOW to use them. I sat there and thought, "Man, I need to take more art classes..." Like the packet of pencils, they have all these numbers like 4B. What is that? I also have a pack of charcole pencils. I don't even know what to use charcole for, except maybe air and water purification.

....

Speaking of which, there's a new picture up. It was for Automail-radish. I've got two more coming that I hope to finish and have up sometime, so I'll keep you posted.

Hope you all are well.

Want to Help Me?
Are any of you good at coming up with names? Would you like to help me? If so, I would dearly appreciate the help!

My project (which I am now calling "Code Name: Gift") is in need of a good bully group name. It's for a group of 5 boys, all around 10 years old. I want the name to be tough but sort of innocent, since they're all pretty young. If any of you have ideas, please let me know! I'm desperate! I'll add you to my dedication list and maybe make you a present if I like it, okay?

Thanks everyone!

Cloudy Days and Rainy Nights
A weekend, finally. I don't know what it was about this week but it seemed to take forever.

The weather has taken a turn and it's been raining a lot lately. I don't particularly like being soaked by the time I get home from school (it's a 30 minute walk) but that's what umbrellas are for. I just got smart enough to figure that out.

I'll submit a picture today. Go check it out if you so feel inclined to do so.

We got Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker a little while ago (I know, I know...I'm really behind the times). So most of free time is spent playing that game. It's fun. I know a lot of people were really mad that the graphics weren't realistic (I was one too) but you fall in love with each game for its own special reason. And even though Wind Waker is more cartoony looking, I love all the little qwirks it has.

Anyway...Hope you all are well! Enjoy the weekend.

   Rejuvenation
Hello all!

Just wanted to give a quick post to saying that I submitted a piece of art. That should be up sometime today, so please go see it! That other request, by the way, you won't be seeing. Because I don't like it.

I decided, also, that I won't be doing that anime. Reasons:

1) I'm not NEARLY talented enough to even think about something like that

2) why am I letting them make my decisions?

3) I'm still working on that LAST project.

4) way too busy.

So anyway, I hope that you are all well. Enjoy the week!

[insert title]
P.E. is going to murder me. And the heat. It's so hot and I personally don't like walking around for over an hour in that kind of weather. -_- Sigh. I wish this school year would hurry up and end.

I might have some pictures coming in a few days, depending on how motivated I feel. They're requests, so prepare yourself for the worst. And with my current art slump, they should be worse than usual.

Speaking of art. My friends (the ones that pushed me to make a manga) are now looking to an anime from me. Oh man. No matter how many times I tell them I have no interest in becoming a manga-ka or animator, they still expect it. Like I've got skills for that kind of thing in the first place. So...do any of you got a story idea I could use for my "anime"?

Well, nothing interesting from me in this round. Hopefully that's not the case for the rest of you. Enjoy the weekend!

Nothing New...
...Or maybe not. I finally got your thank you picture up. I didn't fancy it up but at this point, I don't much care as long as it's up. I'm sorry everyone. Please go see it! I hope you like it.

Just something I wanted to point out. In just about every Studio Ghibli film there is the combination of pink and yellow. Go watch them. You'll see. And never be the same.

Greetings Again
It feels like ages since I've been here. How are all of you?

It's testing week once again. And again, I don't mind it but it is a lot harder than the last time. But somehow I manage to finish under three hours. I don't know how that works out. Half way done!

It's really sunny this week. Really warm and all that. Makes me wish that I was on summer vacation. Odd, as it is that summer is my least favorite season. I think I just want a long break from school.

I was finally able to watch Howl's Moving Castle for the fist time yesterday. I really enjoyed it, though I had to watch it twice to really understand. The backgrounds were simply stunning! And a certain voice actor was in it as well, so I was very much impressed.

I uploaded two pictures today. Neither one is your thank you picture though. Gah! That is SO late! I might just have to give in and put my terrible handwritting in the picture, which I really don't want to do. Anyway, please go see the two new pictures!

Well, that's all I have for this time around. I hope you all are well!

wasted days....
Monday I have to go back to school. It's bumming me out. I really loved this vacation but it feels like I wasted the days away doing nothing. It was probably because I got up at 10:30 every morning. Sigh. I really want it to go on for another week. What am I complaining about? There's no use fighting what can't be changed.

I plan on not wasting today though. I'm gonna hit the gym, go to the mall, and cram all my homework together. And find my gym clothes. *new determination* Yes!

Enjoy the weekend everyone, while it lasts! And if you are one of those people who get break this week--LUCKY!
