03:31 am - Blah.
I haven't posted in forever.
Not much to say; working like crazy; I've got so many hours the store manager actually had to cut some. I hate it. Fast food sucks. I get nothing done at home.

Today was my first day off in a week; it was nice and got a piece done for a friend on DeviantArt.

Still perfecting my drawing for FFCAM.

I'll never get it right.

Been having mood swings that are unusual. Not healthy (mentally).

Saw Iron Man for the third time.

...Yeah. That's all. I've been drawing but no creative ideas for myself; I've been asking request a lot on dA.

Thanks for reading. See ya around.

10:52 pm - :3

Haven't updated in a while. Not like people read XD

Um... I guess a lot has happened...
Turned 19 last Friday... don't feel different... just another year older...

I did get engaged *YAY!* 
Wyatt was going to propose on my birthday but I pretty much knew he was going to do it so he did it early XD.

I guess I am a little young to be getting married XD but I'm in love and I don't regret it. We're having a long engagement though; we don't have a date and it's probably going to be Spring 2009.

I have not been drawing.
Okay, I've sketched here and there... and I actually got a comic done since almost two months ago...

Hung out with people; got to see old friends and hang out and stay the night with them. Been working a lot; they now have me with day schedule and surprisingly, I do NOT like it...............................

That's all for rambling... okay so maybe not a lot has happened but big stuff has :P

03:31 pm - Creative spurs...
Hm... I decided two days ago when I posted on deviantart that I was dropping several projects just to clear my mind.
Like this one manga I was going to do (and have always wanted to do) was a group like our Manga Mages (...what manga mages...?) that would create a manga for a competition; then make a doujin and so on...

I dropped that and then got the idea to pick it up again; though instead of making it a 30 page story... I was thinking about 80-100 XD. Way too big to start out!

I don't think I'm going to do a Legend of Zelda spiff like I wanted to...

I've been drifting on the web to get some ideas but I kinda want to start out with small stuff and then move to larger projects; haven't been faring well with the one page comics (too long to tone... so little time T^T). 

*Sigh* I don't know T^T

I have to be at work by 4:30 today... I'm gonna be there for 11 hours... I hate my life T^T

 In England lol. Kevin, Josh and I are planning a trip; we're supposed to start saving up now; I don't know how it's going to work but we'll make it. Other than that, I don't see much else; probably a job in art and still with Kevin, Josh and Eric... Can't say about Wyatt or Wes............................................ I'd love it if I were still with them too.

01:57 am - Uh...
*does a little dance*
I was banned from the intarweb (lol) for a week but not much has happened.Dyed my hair- black on the bottom. Didn't dye the top; it's still blonde. Looks pretty cool...
Um... Didn't do much for artwork *slashes wrists* though I got an idea for an anthology piece that I thought about doing during the summer. Stuff with random comics like I usually do and Dr.Wes (I'm totally taking ideas from the Dr. Wes comic we Mages were working on; like attacking the building and gaining experience...).
Howevar, I'm doing this solo (since there's no hope for the Mages and I would probably kill Wes if we worked together... no offense).
I'll probably do stuff tonight; my reign of going to bed early and waking early has been ruined thanks to Monster energy drinks. Well, I'm drinking Amp right now.
Yeah..............

10:35 pm - Happy Late Thanksgiving!
Yay... I'm about to jack a piece cheesecake lol. And work on some comic stuff. I said on MyOtaku that I'd post new artwork but um... I have this comic but I'm toning it on the computer... and I've been busy (lol). I have to redraw this LinkxSaria fanart I'm doing (Saria kissing Link).

Otherwise I'm really stressing over football right now. Don't ask why; it's really long and complicated...
(Go OU!).

Yeah; not a whole lot on Thanksgiving. Just ate with the family that lives in the house and Jami and the kids... I also took Wyatt dinner because he had to work (though it was fast food because I didn't have anything to carry a home made meal in). Yeah...
Also stressing over christmas presents; I only have my dad's.... yeah

10:21 pm - Tis the Season

(Taken from dA)
Yeah... I haven't been doing any artwork. Well, stuff I could post on dA; mainly I've been sketching and doubting myself as an artist. But um... my spirits back... a little ^^. My typing skills are going downhill too, which really sucks.
I got paid today; half of it's gone (well, a third of it. I still had about $70 left from my last paycheck :P).
Friday I'm putting Wyatt's Wii on layaway (cause I'm cheap like that...) and I have my dad's gift already (college football encyclopedia... something we'll both enjoy lol).
Kind of went shopping for myself too... spent money on food and gas for Wes and Corey (they're downstairs with Kevin right now; I thought I'd update cause when they leave I'm going to bed! It's sad I'm an early riser now... actually that's kind of good).



Barnes & Noble has black ink jars!!!!!!!!!! I bought two ^^
I also bought a new pair of jeans... I was due. All my good ones are torn (and my last good pair that I only had for a few months has a slit in the butt... my mom says too much Taco Johns T_T).
And I bought some shirts on sale... and vol. 3 of Absolute Boyfriend. I saw vol. 4 but I restrained myself (lol). So yeah...

I leave you with a joke. Earlier my dad came downstairs to see what we were doing. Later I find out that my parents heard "moaning" from downstairs.... from the boys (probably Wes) complaining about loosing. That made me "lol". The thought of hearing moaning and Kevin and Corey being down there made me "rofl".
... te he he....

Not a whole lot going on; I have a subway sandwich sitting right in front of me (yum!). 
That comic with Naruto and Sasuke got a lot of attention on MyOtaku.com (I'm not loved at dA! Wyuuuh!). Out of the 70 comments, there were only 3 negative comments. I'm just glad it got a really good response (and the ones who flamed, I don't really care; I just laughed). I didn't say anything to them because since I had the right to express myself with the comic, they had a right to comment. 

Oh well :P at least I'm not being emo and taking a positive outlook on things ( still got church in my head from this morning; that's good). 

I've got a bunch of comic ideas in my head; the biggest one involves me, Wyatt, Khalid and Becca (won't say though ;P).  I also have a photoshop piece I want to finish with one of my original characters. But I don't have time; I didn't get off of work last night until around 3 (didn't get home til 3:30...). And I have to work in 3 hours...
( I have tomorrow off!!! Though I'm probably spending it with Wyatt!...)

Yep yep yep... I'm not doing that Rising Stars of Manga (urgh!). There's just too little time and I'm not ready to go pro yet; especially if I have a hard time fleshing ideas out on paper. Though Wes Wyatt and I are doing the "blackout manga.
The first page with have a scene of a guy who is surrounded by a whole bunch of thugs, and gets into a fight. Very detailed; unti about the second page the guy is hit and blackouts. The ENTIRE manga then has black panels; to signify that he has blacked out; though the panels are formed to where it looks like something's going on. Then on the last page, he wakes up and says, "Oh, I blacked out." We're only sending this in for ROFLs and LMAOs. (lol)
We're sending it in under a false name, too. I wanted to use Wes Lee Roth but Wes doesn't... that commie...

03:35 am - Stuffz going on...
I actually started scripting my manga; though it was at work (lol). Hey, at least I'm getting somewhere now. It's only a page long on a 3"x5" but applied to manga pages I should have about... 3 pages. W00T. I feel that it's really fast paced so far (I feel that the whole thing is going to be fast paced and rushed). It's a comedy/drama... not so much drama though...
I've been drawing a lot more; I went on a frenzy around 5 a.m. yesterday. I updated them on deviantart but they're scraps; except my Emily one (which I'm actually rather fond of; I hope it was alright to post on the Dramacon community website). I can't stay up too late; I have church (and there's no way I'm pulling an allnighter; especially with daylight savings time). Then I get to work tomorrow (but I'm off on Monday!). 
Hopefully I can get stuff done. Heh. 



And I'm back on Myspace... only for networking though. Thought that once i get my comic done I can promote it there; with all it's popularity... something tells me I'll regret it though... *wyuuh*

01:47 am - Wyuuuuuh! My first update since June!
Yeah I gotta really use this more often... not like anyone reads it though... I need friends... wyuuuuuuh....
Yeah, not a lot going on right now. I guess you can say I'm taking a break from working on manga, though i can't find any time or I don't make time (I usually need about 10 hours of sleep... *laugh*. But seriously, I do...). I'm trying to do a 40 page manga. It was going to be 20 pages but the story expanded... they all usually do. *sigh*
I thought about just doing a couple scenes; working on a scene that lasted one page so I could get the feel of inking, toning, page layout, then go to two, three pages... just slowly start out. I just don't have time... Lately for the past MONTH I've been concerned with scripting... maybe I should be doing that instead of typing on here... I don't get on the internet that much though *laugh*. I'll find a way. I hate my computer/ piece of crap. I REALLY need a tablet... I have a job but Christmas is coming up!!! AUGH!!!
Maybe Wyatt will get me one... I'm getting him a Wii ^^.

02:36 am - My brain's really twisted right now...
So I've given up on the Ultimate Anime thing, still going to do the original comic (just fix the kinks to make it interesting then become really egotistical and display it on MyOtaku... damn you arrogance). I also want to practice my artwork so it's not really shojo like... so Wes may have a point in the marvel (there's this really cool artist from dA; she's so awesome...). But I'm making a list of art to draw; I'm tired, hungry, strained, homesick; I really want to see Wyatt... We leave tomorrow (meaning my all access of internet will be GONE), but I don't know what time. I might isolate myself from the internet for a really long time until I do some (decent) work- art and cg and all. I miss my computer, my bed, my desk, Iowa in general... and my pepsi... and my Wyatt... *sniffle*

01:41 am - Manga Ideas and Conventions
So... Anime Iowa is in 57 days... I still need to send in my registration money before the deadline for the pre-registration. I need to confirm a ride though... *sigh*.
And Becca, I lied about the art tables.... they're about $50. But that's Anime Nebraskon, which I couldn't get much information from anyways.
Katsucon officially starts on my birthday next year... that totally kicks ass.

As for manga ideas, I'm still working on my aspiring manga work (with the group like the Manga Mages). I do want to start another project called The Ultamite Anime project; something I was going to start with Wes and Wyatt. I will eventually; when I'm able to contact them (my cell phone doesn't work out here in Kansas). It'll be fun because we get to parody anime, and we'll have Dr. Wes in the comics as well (since his sole mission is to destroy the world of anime). I do want the group to be larger; and people we can meet up with to (and I want Cameron on the team... I don't know how many times I have said that). I was going to come up with a bunch of ideas and make a proboards message board, but I haven't confirmed anything yet until I actually contact people... damn you, Cricket. I was going to jump on first impulse but I had just recently deleted the Manga Mages Message board because their were only three members with 2 members updating sometimes, and it hasn't been touched since November. So if anybody is interested (the only requirement is that you have a love/hate passion for anime and manga, and I have to have met you in real life and you live in the general area of... you know where. Omaha is fine to if you can check the message boards frequently). But this is just an idea. That I want to make work. Really really bad. lol

Well, I'm gonna go to bed. Kevin's a lying jerk and I have NO PEPSI around. In fact there's nothing with caffeine. And we're in the middle of the rural country so I can't exactly walk out and get my fix. Unless I wanted to get picked up 6 miles away from the house... maybe take a goat with me... I'll elaborate later.

Sayonara!

01:26 am - Livejournal...?
First of all, I shouldn't be up this late. Second- I don't use my Myspace, so there's no guarantee that I'll update much on here. Third- I don't know...

This will just be my useless ranting for now.
... nothing to rant about at the moment...
