   Ugg
Who shall bring redemption, but the jesters?
-the Talmud

Great quote. ^-^

I made $38 at the yard sale, mostly because Danielle gave me 20% of the profits every day. I bought the first D N Angel manga, and I’m saving the rest for the Last Exile DVD. Ten more days!!!

Tomorrow I will make my final call to the school office. Grr, I hate my school. All the good courses seem to be offered only during 7th period, and to earn my last Physical Education credit I have to take Weight Training.

Commence with the laughing.

Weight Training. Involving weights. Yeah right. I have no upper body strength. The only reason people are the least bit scared of me is because I’m big and could crush them. And I can push them over. Lol, that’s always fun.

And the guy who teaches that class makes me jump. Really. I don’t know why he makes me nervous. Yeah, he yells a lot, but so does my U.S. History teacher. And he doesn’t make me nervous. Well, lol, I guess he would if he taught my PE class.

Anyway, it’s going to suck. But I have to earn the credit, and taking that makes room for the class I’d die without. So, I gain Studio Art, only by sacrificing myself to Weight Training. Life is so unfair.

   Rantings About Last Exile And Fanart
Submitted the picture of Sakura in her Jester’s costume. Yay.

The CCS fanart I’m working on now is going to take awhile, lol. Tomoyo and Sakura are flying on the staff, and that’s hard to draw. But the giant wings are going to be the hardest thing for me. I don’t do wings well. And then I need to color it...oh dear...

Well, if everything goes well it should look great. Key word there is “if”. *sigh*

I called my school’s office to try to get a hold of the guidance councilor, but she was out. So my schedule dilemma is unresolved.

I’ve been looking at a lot of Last Exile fanart lately (not on this site). Such lovely pictures. The best Last Exile English fansite I’ve found is “Vanship Soaring”. The link is above if you’re interested. Two of my works are on that site, plus lots of other pictures. There’s also fanfiction, character bios, reviews, episode summarys, screen shots, etc. etc. etc. Great stuff. And it has a lovely layout.

I’m going over to a friends house tomorrow to help with a 4 day straight yard sale, lol. I hope to make enough money to afford the next LE DVD, “Grand Stream”. It is available August 10th. I can’t wait! ^-^

Hmm. Do you think a couple of My Little Ponies, some Barbies, five plastic animals, and a stuffed animal backpack will make enough money to buy an anime DVD?

Perhaps I should find more things to sell...

   Jello Craving *shrug* Go Figure
Grr. The school hours are from 8:30 to 3:00 and I missed by forty minutes. So I have to call tomorrow. *sigh*

Bored bored bored...and I have a craving for red jello squares. Not just jello, red jello cut into jiggly squares. I don’t know why. Probably saw a commercial for it while I was watching M*A*S*H.

My sister is hogging the telephone. I can’t call Danielle and ask her to save the UPCs from any Kellogg cereals boxes she has. I want the Spiderman watch they are advertizing! It looks very nifty. ^-^

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the phone. I may have to disconnect her. *cackles evilly*

Oh no! o_0 We don’t have any jello in the house! Darn it. Guess I’ll have to settle for a custard style yogurt.

   My School Hates Me
Just submitted a CCS fanart of Syaoran Li. It scanned in so beautifully, but then I had to turn it into a jpeg. Grr. As a bmp you could see all the pencil strokes, and all the little details. Now you can’t. Bah, I really dislike jpegs.

I have two more CCS pictures in the making. One with Sakura and Tomoyo flying on Sakura’s staff, and one with just Sakura wearing her blue Jester costume. I just have to color that one.

I need to call my school’s office and inform them that the schedule they sent me is screwed up. If I actually followed that schedule, I couldn’t graduate. Seriously. The classes I need to take (not want, NEED) aren’t on it.

And they didn’t give me Studio Art. My school hates me. Really. Because if I don’t get Studio Art, I’m condemned to being a burger flipper at McDonald’s for the rest of my life. Because the only thing I’m good at is drawing. I have no other skills!

And without Studio Art, no art college will take me. My school doesn’t provide enough art classes as it is! I need Studio Art gosh darn it!!!

So, I need to call them. I should do that today. Wish me luck!

   Foolery
It’s 12:00 at night and what am I doing? Checking out a very nifty site, dedicated to Jesters. The link is above, if you wish to check it out.(Please tell me if you do!)

Been scouring the internet for animated Jester icons. Been marginally successful.

Found some adorable pictures of Sakura (from CCS) wearing adaptions of Jester costumes. I’m going to draw them. ^-^

What? Yes, I’m weird. Yes, I have an odd interest in Fools. But what can I say? I love motley.

Happiness!
Huzzah!!! I finally posted one of my Last Exile MS Paint fanarts!!!! *smiling like a loon*

Thank you Becky!!!! For anyone wondering, Becky made the picture into a jpeg for me, since my computer hates jpegs and hates me a little bit more.

I have one more MS Paint LE fanart, but it’s to big....and I forgot to make it smaller before Becky took the time and effort to change them and she’s going to Mexico tomorrow so I’m not going to bother her about the other one. At least not until she has come back from her vacation. Lol, poor Becky. She’s going to kill me.

   Grrr!!!
Just submitted my new favorite drawing of Dio. Finished it today.

Darn it!!!! *just looked at it after it was submitted* It looks speckled....sorta....Something always happens to my fanart, and I don’t know why. It looks fine when I preview it after I scan it in. So what happens to it when I post it? Grrrr!!!!!!

Fanart Update And Growing Expenses
Submitted a Fruits Basket fanart. Haven’t drawn hardly anything from that anime. Hmm.

I need money! *sigh* Who doesn’t? My expenses are rising. I’m trying to keep up with two manga series: Inuyasha and Card Captor Sakura Master of the Clow. And then I’m buying all the Last Exile DVDs at almost $30 a pop. And I think I’d enjoy the anime Card Captors. Ugg. Lol, and I saw these earings at Hot Topic that I really want....Good thing my birthday is coming.

I think I’m going to be drawing some CCS fanart soon...and I need to finish my two LE sketches. Crap. I need to try to do some paintings this summer...lol, there’s no way I can go back to school. I have to much drawing to do!

   Randomness...
Posted second Last Exile fanart. Not the one that’s gone missing, sadly, but it is one of Dio. This one I made for my friend Danielle, and she is expecting it back (I borrowed it to scan it in) so I better not lose it, lol. Scanner messed with the picture again, sadly.

I watched the movie “Labyrinth” last night, while I was at Danielle’s house. Such a strange movie, but very enjoyable. ^-^ Loved David Bowie’s hair style. And now thanks to that movie I have one of his songs stuck in my head...

There was an old English sheepdog! That’s the dog I have, and she looks like a Muppet. But not at the moment. She just got her hair cut. Poor Stacie.

While I was at Danielle’s I watched almost the entire first season of The West Wing on DVD. I have decided that I want CJ and Danny together and Charlie and Zoe together also. And that Toby is my favorite character. (CJ’s goldfish is a close second)

Also, I went to Chuckie Cheese’s. Yes, I did. And I have three magnets, a very nifty pen, and a tiny sparkly notebook to show for it.

I love magnets. ^-^ Two of them were 150 tickets and one was 15, I think...anyway, they are of Yami from Yu-Gi-Oh, The Flash from Justice League, and a small Spiderman. (That’s why he was only 15 tickets).

Have I mentioned I love magnets?

Still on the look out for the AWOL fanart....I still don’t see how I could have lost it...

   Where Did It Go?
Scanned in more fanart. One Kare Kano, one Card Captor Sakura, and two fairies that are characters from the site Neopets under “Original Anime”. I think that’s it...yeah.

I looked and looked for a LE fanart I did awhile ago, and I can’t find it. This makes me sad. *Sniffle* I liked that picture! It was of Dio. I checked out the likely suspects who would have stolen it, but they didn’t. *Sigh* So somehow I lost it. Or, *Twilight Zone music plays* something happened to it...something supernatural....

Yeah. I bet the poltergeist took it. She would take my favorite picture of Dio. Grr.
