I guess I should also mention that I have a team sport that takes place six out of the seven days of the week, so, that's where lots of my remaining free time has gone, folks. Seriously.


Anyways, I got some words from Sav, so here they are! <3 Just in case you are interested, I can give you five words, too. Just post "words" here and I will do so. Then you have to put them in your journal and offer to give other people who post there words of their own. Ones that make you think of them. So. Yeah.

1.Robots

<3 Yes, please...I love them oh so much.

2.Androids

AKA 54% of my characters. : D And, like, 93% of all the characters I simply adore.

3.SCIENCE!!!11!!!one!!

It works! Oh science, I love you so.

4.Baking

*v* No, seriously, I freaking love this, too. I wish I could bake things for everyone I know, but sadly, you all live so far away. D: One day, ok?

5.Awesome

;v; Yaaaaaay. *day is made*


So, yes, that is what I have to say!

Oh, I just remembered the most silly water I have found. It’s called Fred and it is claims that “…Fred is velvety smooth spring water with exceptional virginity…” So, I have some virgin water now! Oh, there’s some more thunder. Hmm…

Also, I finally have my address, so I will send it to some of you as soon as the silly internet is up. People suspect that someone with a wireless router has been disturbing the whole system, so I haven’t been able to go online while in the dorm. Ooh! Never mind! Someone just set me up

Now, have I mentioned that I go right from my vacation to college? No? Well, yeah, I have to pack for half a year and stuff, so it's gunna be a crowded car trip out to visit the relatives. Not that I mind or anything. No. No, why would you have that idea? And I may even get to see my cool older cousins if they aren't off living their own lives like they probably will. Sad face.

Anyways, I am utterly worn out right now. I've been dealing with my glasses being smushed, getting up extra early to swim on a Saturday, being in the sun for five hours with little water to drink but lots around me, walking about a city and more. Mainly, I am just tired right now. And MSN is deciding not to open, so I may be logging off soon, too. Sigh.

And, um, yeah, exciting things, blah blah blah, yeah, I am basically done now. Maybe I will do some gathering since I have barely started to pack yet. Hmm...*is really good at procrastinating* Ugh, it's, like, 7:30 and I want to freaking sleep. How fail is that? I haven't even had dinner yet. *smacks head on the back of the guest bed* Hnnnnngh...this faaaails...*smack*

So, anyways, I most likely won't have much internet time while on vacation and the first week of college, before classes start, is mainly orientation, so I will be orienting myself as to where the scanners are or if I will have to use a camera, which would suuuck. *is done whining*

Ok, so, enjoy the rest of your summer, guys, 'cause I'm gunna pretend all of you are back in school when I am so that I don't have to cry myself to sleep every night and keep my roommate up. Oh my goodness! Look! No emoticons whatsoever. A new record! *is too tired to care* Right. Sleep. That sounds like a good plan. Or, as I first typed, plant. Yeah. It's a good plant. A really good plant. Ok. I am stopping now. Night.

It sure has been a long time, hasn’t it? What, four days or so? Anyways, I apologize for the lack of comics and, for that matter, for the lack of replies. My internet, it seems, decided to stop functioning around two o’clock in the morning on Friday, right while I was talking to some people. Again, I apologize for that quite a bit. I must have seemed quite rude for just vanishing. So, once that occurred, I went to bed, assuming it would all be better in the morning. I actually woke up with the plot for a story, so it was a pretty fair trade in my opinion. But, back to my description of what occurred.

So, the router or something was out. They said nothing could be done until Monday. Today. Whatever. The first thing I thought, indeed, was, “Hurray! A legitimate excuse for not drawing a comic!” But then I realized that I wanted Esther to play Left 4 Dead and see the octopus on the sign and stuff…so. That sucked. Sorry about that too. But we had a good Christmas party anyways and baked cookies and watched movies, so that was fine.

Saturday was started off with a splash. Stupid. Sucky. Saturday. Swim meets. I hate you so much. Though, for once, it was really hot for a morning swim meet, and it felt good getting into the freezing water. The sunburn I got despite the sunscreen I put on was less nice. So, my mum was going to a baby shower and James and I decided we would go see Up before it goes out of theaters. Ok, I decided we should see it, but he was game enough. My dad hates movies like that, so I said that James and I would go alone, so we jumped into the car and were off. It was a really good movie and I cried at least three times during it. I always do that. So, once it was done, I said to James, “It would be kinda lame just to go home now.” He agreed and we thought about what there was for two teenagers to do with a car and money around there. We decided on a Revolving Museum. Which I failed to find. Since I failed so much, I decided we wouldn’t go to the museum, but that we would instead drive over a creepy bridge, which spit us out at UMass Lowell. “James, let’s go to that comic book store.” said I, and he set the GPS to bring us there. Only. It had gone out of business, which was really sad. He then decreed that there was another store like it only thirty, count them, thirty minutes away. I was like, “Yeah, sure, let’s do it!” and off we drove again! Turns out it was a computer store. Oh well. I ended up browsing through an Indian clothing store, but I had to leave when I realized I was too white to be there and that I was making the lady nervous. By then it was getting late and the two of us were hungry. James also needed a hair cut by the way. Just to say that. So we decided to go into New Hampshire to Nashua and eat at this place where you can do Shabu Shabu, which we both love. I ended up driving the wrong way, but luckily that ended up bringing us to a SuperCuts, and James got his hair trimmed up nicely. I then managed to go around an evil circle of lights three times while trying to keep to the left, which was as annoying as anything. I finally got it right, and we ended up driving past the restaurant we wanted to eat at. I noticed that there was no parking and, being a fickle creature, suggested that we go to another restaurant that I totally knew the way to. James seemed luke-warm at most about the idea. Nevertheless, I merrily told him to turn off the GPS and started driving blindly around the downtown region of Nashua landing us in what seemed to be a dead-end street with empty brick buildings all around us. Looking to my dear brother, I said, “Ok. Um. Let’s just go back to that restaurant.” Turns out we were .4 miles away from it. So, we had a delicious dinner together, which was only a little bit awkward because the waitress thought we were dating…>v>’ Seriously, James, stop looking so old. Then, I decreed that we needed ice-cream. We usually go to his one really good spot, but the GPS only had one spot that sounded like it in its records. Finally, after I almost killed the two of us by veering into another car on the highway (I swear, I’m a really good driver. : D ) we got our sweet desert and I got to trap some guy in his car by parking just a smidgen too close.

Then, on Sunday, I did such a good job at reading in church that someone asked me to read at her mother-in-law’s funeral on Wednesday. My family also had to drop James off at tennis camp in Amherst, and I got a robot pencil sharpener. <3 Then, some guy slid into the back of our car, leading me to be in my first accident ever. D:< I had a record going, buddy. Thanks for ruining it. No, I wasn’t even driving. And we were stopped at a red light. He sorta…skidded into us? My mum was totally freaked out by it, though I was like, “Wait, wut?” Our b... ]]> ~Bystander42 http://Bystander42.deviantart.com/journal/26158562/ http://Bystander42.deviantart.com/journal/26158562/ Fri, 24 Jul 2009 20:01:18 PDT :

One of my personal feelings is that you shouldn't force yourself to draw something for people on a day when all you seem to be able to come up with are death scenes for your favorite characters. Enough said?

About half-way through the day I started feeling really blah, and that's my excuse for not having a comic up. Really. Nothing was really going my way creatively. Sort of like when I try doing NaNoWriMo. : D

But anyways, I digress.

I will see if I can put up a doodle tomorrow, but I do have another reunion to go to. It should be fun.

Hmmm....what else....



I don't really have anything else pertinent to this account, seeing as I don't really put stuff up almost daily here. :3 So...this was a short update just to let you know that I am aware of my deadline blunder.

If I don't have anything up on Monday, it means I am trying to get back in the swing of things. <3 Don't want to burn out, after all, like I think I may be with other things...@v@




Maybe I need to take a break and read some good books...hmmm...that would be nice...some more Asimov or something....of just some good robot books...I really wanted to watch 2001 again today, but I guess it never really happened. On the up side, I did get to watch some Star Trek, which was amazing. <3 Really. Great. Stuff.

What else...what else...what else...>:

Oh, did you know one of my classes for next year is karate? It would be awesome, except that it's cutting into my eating time.............That sounds bad in more than one way, and let me just say it's actually bad in the "I am freaking going to starve on Mondays" way as opposed to whatever else you were thinking. Sigh.


Anything else I can think of? No? Nothing? Well, then. Goodnight my dear watchers/friends, and I am off to watch Spock explain all kinds of lovely things involving sci-fi. Night!

So, how are /you/ all doing?

Oh, that's lovely. Me? Well, I am fine. I have a brand new morning schedule for most days of the week and that's...not so great...but just because I have to get up so early now. DX Stupid swim team, demanding so much time in the cold, cold morning.

But at least the water feels warm in comparison, right? Yeah, totally.

No, that's kinda depressing.

Anyways, so, I have been reading more Asimov, whom I am smitten with, by the way. He's just too cool and his robots are top notch. Though, I mean, when haven't I liked a robot? So, anyways, I got The Caves of Steel and am almost half-way through it. YAY!

On the topic of things having to do with robots, I am totally trying to think of what happens next in the comic/ get some motivation together. :3 I may end up making some buttons with Fail-Chell and things on them, because I can. So. I dunno when the next comic will be out. I haven't a clue.


Hmm...I don't know what else to say...D:

Man, I wish I could think of more...>: Oh well. Until next time, comrades!

Oh, and I am almost done inking the next comic. @-@ Seriously, I am working on it.


Aaaand...um...

Oh, right, I'm back. Hoo-ray!


Do I have anything else to say? Um...well...I guess that...nah. I've got nothing. >:

Ok, so see you guys later?

One is that I am not back yet, but that I will be back soon! <3

Next is that I officially have a roommate. Woahsaywut?

Aaand...

I also wanted to remind you all of this little promise I made nearly one year ago. XD Because. I failed so badly at it that...well...I am just a little bit ashamed.

"And. I will try to start a semi-schedual thing. Which I won't actually be able to keep most of the time. Because of school. So. Most likely, I will hurry and finish one on the M/W/F schedual...but only post on two of those days...because I am actually terribly lazy."


Bwahahahah, M/W/F schedule for sure. Monday of one month, Wednesday of the next, Friday of the next...XD Failfailfailfail.

Oh. And. Sav, you tagged me for the eight interesting facts thing, right? Right? I saw correctly, no?

So I will post eight interesting facts about myself that are actually...not so interesting?

1: I love robots more than the normal geek. For serious. *v* My creative writing teacher always would yell at me for being unable to keep them out of my stories. Even at the androids, she yelled.

2: People seem to think I look like a Freshman. The High School variety. D: And I know why, too.

3: I procrastinate as you all know so well.

4: I just drew even more Kendle and Seil. >c> It was worthwhile and fulfilling.

5: I love role playing with characters. : D

6: I only really started drawing anything even half-way decent two years ago. : D

7: Even before I knew about anime (somehow...) I had declared that Japan was my favorite country. Russia was number two on my list and this was in forth grade.

8: Um. I like to, er, dress up in pretty outfits secretly.

That's enough of that.

So, yeah, I am going to be super vague about what I am talking about and move quickly on to the next few topics because I am a jerk and am out to get all of you. D:<


So, anyways, I actually thought of what should happen next in the Fail-Chell comic thing! That's one step closer to you guys getting a new comic! Yay! I even have the rough sketch doodled out. Double yay!

But this brings me, sadly, to my next point. ^^'

...

NO, I am NOT out of 20% gray or any other gray, thank you very much. D:< Jerks.

I am actually going to be gone for a loooong time. My dad and I are driving out to a family reunion in PA, leaving some time on Monday...then, once that is over on around Wednesday or so I am going right to my aunt's house in NJ and my cute little cousins who totally rock. And. >v> I don't think they've seen a certain movie concerning some certain robots...so. I may bring it. And. Watch it with them? Maybe? *will trying doing so no matter what*

Oh. And after that I am getting dropped off at mah new home for the school year to get everything in line. <3

I will get back a day or two before my birthday FOR WHICH I WILL BE GOING TO ANOTHER FAMILY REUNION...D:

So. Even though I will have tons of of time to draw in the coming week or two, I won't be able to submit anything. If you're lucky, I may be able to talk to some of you for a little bit, but...don't expect much. XD

Actually, come to think of it...

Isn't that just about how long I make you wait normally...>c>' Erk.


That aside, I will try my hardest to sketch out a final version of the next comic, ink it, color it and scan it up tomorrow while no doubt getting distracted with trying to draw someone like Kendle who just demands that I draw him constantly. Or maybe I just abuse him by drawing him...hmm..either way. : D

ANYWAYS, see you all in a while after tomorrow? Ok? Bye! <3

Um. It's cloudy up here. And. I am going to be gone for a while next week. And maybe even longer. But. Maybe when I get back I'll have a comic done if I don't get busy this week.

Aaaaaand, yeah. I am getting to help my brother out with Craypas. He was going to use my pastels, but liked the craypas better. He's actually not bad at all. XD But he always insults his art 'cause he's supposed to be the sports guy. Ah well. Even if he won't admit it, he's got a creative mind.

Also, I killed my wrist and fingers doodling up a Kendle-related comic thing. That I am loving. Even though it's not funny at all and is rather boring. A waitress that I really like complimented it as did another one who walked by. So. I guess it's stroke my ego day or something. James also slid in a compliment. Yay! And Anime Club was hilarious. I Rick-Rolled everyone. >:3 Isn't that right?

Ok, here's the form thing. You don't have to do it if you don't want. : D I just feel obligated to put it up because somehow, when I put it up, I get more comments. And. That makes me feel special. Well, enough being pathetic and hungering for human contact. Here it is. <3

Do this and then put it in your journal:

+WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF I...+
I committed suicide:
I said I liked you:

=v='

I was going to make a journal letting you all know about the stuff I've been up to, thus excusing myself from drawing anything serious, but I guess I forgot about that.

Oh well. I'll tell you now.

Lesse, where do I start....>:

Well, swim season continues to exist, so that's keeping me abused two to three days a week. My fault, though. I should have been going to practice more regularly. Then I wouldn't feel as slow and maybe then I wouldn't be being shown up by ten year olds while doing push-ups. No, wait, never mind. I still would be. I hate those things. At least I can still destroy them at the front crawl. The fourteen year olds, though...they are a different story...hmm....

ANYWAYS, my failure at swimming aside, XD

I also got confirmed a few weeks ago. Yaaaaay! But that means I have to help lead a church service with the two other guys that got confirmed. Meh. And I foolishly said that my brother and myself would sing a song together for it. Which I have yet to pick. And it's on Sunday. So. I have to do that. D: My priest already told me I couldn't choose the religious rap, aww, so sad. XD It's the most hilarious religious song ever, by the way. It has these little kids singing the cute religious part and some rap person saying, "Yo, yo. He did, he did. Check it out, yo." in the background. Ahahahah, most funny thing to sing with James ever.

Hmm....what else is there...>:

OH! Right, I also graduated on Friday of last week. And my school failed.

We were supposed to get flowers. They always give out flowers.
But we never got any. I was upset about that all night. D:

And. A certain SOMEONE screwed up his speech....*cough* superintendent *cough*

"Now, everyone knows that it's not the journey that matters, but the destination."

D: Nooooo! Objection!


But, yeah. I should be getting to work on stuff soon enough now that I have a fancy shmancy public school diploma.


Aaaand, of course, not to keep me bored, I am going to a total of THREE family reunions this summer, all relativly close to the begining of the summer. One is on June 24th or something...>:

I also have a warm-up thing for my college on July 2nd, AND, of course, my birthday, not wanting to be left out and unspecial OR ANYTHING, is on the 4th of July.

Jeeze.

Which is also the next of the family reunions, so I won't even be online much during my birthdays. *sad sigh* Oh well. It's to be expected. At least I will get to see my adorable baby cousin.

And that's the next thing. I am hoping to go visit my cute cousins down in NJ either towards the end of July or the begining of August. @-@ Like always.

Now, during all of this, keep in mind that swimming will have changed to EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK AT SEVEN IN THE MORNING. >: My dad will end up making me and James go at least three times a week or something like that, and...yeah. The pool is cold. And I almost always put in the lane lines.

And then, at the very end, just before I go off to college in upstate New York, I'll be heading off to PA to visit even more family. Yes, it is going to be a heck of a summer for me. Add in all the friend visiting I'll be doing and this is one crazy summer. Meh. Oh well. I'm used to it. XD

I should still have more than enough time to draw and stuff. I think. Ok, that's all I have for now. Stay cool, you guys. Stay cool.

And read the titles. <3

Because. I wanted to comment on them like I comment on everything.



And. And. I met a Lithuania...who was epic. And we bonded. But then she had to run off. D: So I was sad. But. I was wearing my "I Left my <3 in Lithuania" shirt and she freaked out over it just as much as I freaked out over her being Lithuania. It was a beautiful sight. TTvTT

And I met up with some people who I had seen at AAC and just missed a few others...D; Next year for sure...

And.

And.

It was awesome. <3



Oh, and there is now a double GLaDOS picture existing in this world. : D Because I got to meet up with Meketaten. That was fun!

And I joined some random group of guys who were singing Still Alive on Sunday morning and tramped around with them in my Black Mesa shirt. And the Carameldansen dance line. And when I ran into a WCC in my WSC and GLaDOS outfit.

Ask questions and I shall answer them! : D

...I'm gunna be in Boston for the entire weekend geeking it up in cosplay. *squee*


So that means...my already late comic will be even later. But here's the good news!

School's out after tomorrow! For me, anyways. >: Sorry everyone else. But that means I have less excuses to draw, and less stuff to do that will keep me from drawing.

I should become more frequent with my updates again. Yay!


So, is anyone else going to AB? : D

I know about a few of you, but...anyone else? 'Cause I'm gunna be there all three days and it would be neat to see people I know online again.


I guess that's all I have. >: Talk to you all later, then?

Seriously. You are all amazing.

I feel so special to have such epic fans/friends.

So, like, a mere five minutes after I was all, "Wah, I sucks and I need fan arts to make me feel like I am kool or something. D: " People were like, "Hey, I'm on it. *epic background*"

Yeah. You all rock. And. I wish I knew how to show thumbnails. But I don't. So this will have to do. >v>

It's Rxi's Fan-Art Journal Extravaganza!

[link] One of the first fan art pictures I ever got. TTvTT By Klakkid!

[link] A picture of Fail-Chell jamming away by Klakkid. : D

[link] A meme by Klakkid. *o*

[link] By Dr. Paine, a wonderful sign showing exactly what you are not allowed to do. Ever. :>

[link] By Skyrunnerwolf, who is simply amazing. This one made me laugh. X3

[link] Esther-art that exemplifies fan-art. XD

[link] A funny comic by Dr. Paine that has Fail-Chell, jamming and a turret. Yay!


[link] By Zerrer. This one is great too. XD Role-reversal time!

[link] A funny one by Sam. XD

[link] Amazing little dress-up game by Klakkid. :3

[link] And more epic dress-up fun by Klakkid! : D


Yeah, you guys are all full of epic win. TTvTT



I will try my hardest to get the next comic inked soon. <3 I actually have a joke one based on something a certain someone showed me. : D M-Chell thought it was pretty neat, so I will proceed with it.

Oh my goodness, Poland looks hilarious in a skirt. XD TTvTT Thank you for this picture and telling me about this song and series, by the way, C.



I will edit this up and stuff maybe. <3.

Ooh! Ooh! Or, better yet, what if I give you a set up! : D

Because it's worked every other time I've done it. Hahahahahahahahaha. Right. Anyways.


I just got the idea because I realized that, not only was I taking a week per comic, they weren't even officially part of the current story line. Which left off with sad faces gallore. X> I mean, I have the next parts of the continuation sketched out and I'm working on inking them, but they won't be able to appear for a while.

So what do you say for some good, old-fasist fun with 'Fan Comic Death Match' where someone will certainly not die at the end.

Ok, ok, I'm bored, I get it. D:

*is actually coloring the next Pre 00 comic*

So, yeah, if anyone actually wants to...I would love you forever if you drew a fan comic that would keep everyone else content while I finish up school. XD Or even just fan-art or something. I mean, seriously, you could, like, draw a stick figure with a ponytail and ears, call in Fail-Chell and I would be all, "<3 You is cool and I amz struggling too rite like dis."


Um.

What else?

Oh. I got man-shorts today. And they are awesomatastically great.

As far as neat news goes, this journal fails. Actually, earlier I was trying to think of something to make a journal about so I could sneakily slip you all my other account's name, but now I don't feel like it. >:3

It doesn't really matter. XD It's full of poorly scanned and drawn junk. Oh. And the picture in which I kill a perfectly respectable (ok, not really) song. <3

What else, what else, what else....*looks about room* Oh. Right. You guys never heard about the plushie I am making for my cosplay outfit that you all should know about. : D

Scratch that. I just remembered something else.

You know how everyone draws sci-fi ish characters in tight, form-fitting suits? :3

Well.

Don't. They are just about the most un-flattering thing since my cousin. XD Even thin people look questionable in them. Ok. Not really. >: Even average people look questionable in them.

Ok. Has that been random enough for you all?

...

Rawr, well shut up why don't you. >o< I'm doing the partial best I can!

By the way, if you want to get more page views and favorites, all you have to do is draw a L4D comic that is possibly funny. Somehow, this works. >> Or fanart of L4D. Or fanart of thiswouldbealoteasierifmycomichadaname.

Hey, anyone actually know what the name of that poor excuse for a comic I draw is? D: I never really came up with one. But. You know. It would be nice...




ANYWAYS, if you've read this, you most likely would like a time refund. WELL, I can't do that for you.

Too bad.

And you probably don't even remeber the earlier stuff. :3



'Kay, bye. <3

But until I'm out of school, I have an excuse for not doing as much art. >:




*coughs*

Oh, right, maybe I should get back to that work, then.

*trudges back to papers* Sigh.

Fail-Chell: ...D: *pokes* Hey, you're not allowed to do that.
Rxi: >: Why not?
Fail-Chell: ...Er...'cause you won't get cake it you don't do work.
Rxi: ...Sigh.
Fail-Chell: So, do I get cake now or what?
Rxi: No.
Fail-Chell: D:
Rxi: :3
Fail-Chell: TT-TT Jerk.


Yeah, I have a lot to do. XD

I keep forgetting about this.


I was supposed to do all those requests. : D

But things kept going wrong. Such as me not having printed out any references.

I actually really want to finish the one of Racc and Fail-Chell, but I dunno when I will remember about it when I have an inking pen and computer near by. Eheh. Heh. Yeah. That reminds me, I still have to color some things and get them up tomorrow. Right.

I should just keep apolo-

Hey, wait a second. I've done this before. 0:

Seriously.

So this is Rxi's Public Apology Number Two! : D


YAAAAAAY!


HEY, LOOK HERE FOR A MOMENT. : D Check out the epic inside-jokiness! [link]

So, yeah, I think I shall do this. You know those neat request systems that few people actually seem to follow...*cough* From my experience with them...? *has forgotten to do those requests from time to time too* Well, I will give it another shot. : D So...if you had requested something before, just roll with it, 'kay?

I promise to never ever do this again, by the way. Unless it's finals week. But then it's just a week. TTvTT *got almost nothing done*


Um. So now we can talk again. I guess. Hmmm....

...

...

...


OH! I met a bunch of epicly neat people at a religious retreat a few weeks back! *waves* I felt so bad after trading info with them, 'cause I realized that I wasn't going to be on for a few weeks. TToTT So sorry!


But now that I'm back, you know what that means...!






MOAR PROCASTINATION! : D

I have my last bit of an evil class coming up, and it involves editing my acutely failing story, so who knows what I can get done...>:

By the way, I think I am one of the most fail people for this...I really enjoy math (Gasp! What am I saying! D: ) But I fail at it so much. XD I am all, "Hello Mr. Calculus class!" and it's all, "D: You suck-fail at this." and then I'm all, "Sadface."

Um...um...um...nothing all that important has really happened other than that. But I just know I will think of something if I wait long enough. *stares out window* ...


...



...


...

!

Right. I'm getting a laptop! 0: GASP! And it should be able to manage playing HL2 without lagging! Gasp! And Portal shall once again be able to be played!


Oh, and, maybeIcangetmorehomoeworkdonewithitorwhatever.

Ok, well, great to see all you artwork and journals again, and then delete them so as to prevent the occurence of a coma! *beams and waves* I have to get back to looking at everything now. *whimper* Buh-bye! <3


Wait! Before I leave like the Tachikomas left when being sent back to the lab in GiS SAC, I just want to say one thing. Or two. Anyways, my friend has asked me to draw him a Fail-Chell and Fail-Gordon avatar. : D Anyone else want one while I'm at it? *is lonely*

LENT.


BUT. But, last year I decided to be the most epic person ever and participate. I gave up the internet.

Last year, I told no-one online and only told my real life friends after a week or two. But this year, since I have decided to do it again, I am telling you all. And now, at least a month in advance, so that I don't explode from eagerness to tell.

That means I won't be getting online to do anything but homework and thus will not be submitting anything for the lenten period. I know, I know, it sounds like some stupid procrastination plot, but seriously, I love doing this because it makes me realize how much time I spend online and it gives me a chance to work on other things like art, sewing, homework, and running around being crazy.

So this year, I am going to take requests from everyone and try drawing them during this time. :3 That's fair, right? Hold on, let me bold this for skimmers. I WILL BE TAKING REQUESTS.

What do I plan on working on during this time besides requests? Well, I can get a few comics done, but the real thing I will be working on is my COSPLAY outfit which needs to be epic for ANIME BOSTON. And homework. I may try to make some plushy Portal stuff too. Like another turret. <3

So in conclusion...send me requests. They won't be done for, like, two months, but I need time to print out references of characters I don't know and stuff. D: Remember, no internet and stuff.

In other news, I am almost done coloring another comic! *is hit with a brick* W-which is only a /few/ days late, right? Right? *bleeds*

I still have an essay to finish, a power point to make and a pear project to complete, so I will try my very best to get more active, but it might not happen until after the term is over. >:

And one other thing. :3 I have had people do this once before, but now is the time to re-post it! : D



+WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF I...+
I committed suicide:

Which would be fine if it was a Friday. But it's not.


*sobs* I had it all done, too. That's the worst part. All ten pages of the must stupid project for the most annoying class ever. At least I am learning something from this class. Save as, please. >:

And I managed to remind me that I have to do that Portal Meme I have been plotting about since I found it half a year ago. Jeeze, has it really been that long? D: I do need to get on that next comic...

Anyways, here I am...typing up my paper. Again. At one in the morning. On a school night. D: Wait, what was I typing in that essay...@___@ Drat.

Anyways...I am dealing with it the same way I dealt with that demonic Flash project that kept deleating parts of itself. I am listening to Still Alive on loop. My goal is to reach 9000 listens by this summer in honor of the epic win of Portal.


Oh, and my cosplay outfit is under construction, FINALLY. I just have a few more piece to gather before modifications are all I have to worry about. Well, and a sign. >v>


Anyways, I should actually keep working. And I should be dead tomorrow. : D So expect nothing until...um...hmm...Thursday's busy...Friday is maddeningly crowded...and I have a pear project and history essay to work on...hmm...some time.

<3 To all. Because the side of this journal is Less than Three. Hah-HA! *is insane*

Dunno how much time I will have for extra art stuff in the coming weeks. Well, until I need to procrastinate...

Anyways, just don't expect too much...not that you probably expect much movement anyways. >v> I actually have the next two sketched out and the third of that set is conceptually solid in my head. I just forgot the exact dialog...



But anyways, just wanted to say that.

I promise I will sketch up the next comic soon. But no matter what, I will have to wait until my (new) computer is hooked up to the internet. Which is why I am being so bad about getting back to everything. >v>

Anyways, I hope you all are well. I managed to get some new pigment liners and (20%) gray markers. XD Now I have no real excuses for getting back to work on doodling up comics.

Despite this, I have been spending a good deal of time not even coming up with the sketch for the next comic, but instead some KxM scenes that I will most likely never put up here or really show to anyone due to their low quality.


Hmm...

Well, I had more to say, but I am both forgetting it right now and finding myself unable to type well...^^' Fail. I guess I will just sign off now and go watch the last episode of Firefly. <3


Oh, and I'm having Nonex bring Cam back from the land of the dead. : D

Cam: :3
Zanders: Whaaaat?! You are to big for me to sell into sla-I mean the free market now. D:
Cam: TTwTT Thank goodness.
Nonex : *finally has a friend her age* : D
Cam: : D
Zanders: *grumbles and storms off*


Ok, now I'm done. Happy new year! 2009 should be great! *does a small dance* Ok. *flees*

Fail-Chell : >: I think we were abandoned.
GLaDOS : Then the testing shall continue.
Fail-Chell : So about that jamming...
GLaDOS : . . . No.

But...

That aside...

I still have lots to do before winter break, and that FAIL-SNOWDAY with NO electricity was NOT helpful in the least. James and ended up playing Pokemon for a good amount of time and I began a headcrab army. >v> Oh wait. What's that? I could have been working on my comic? Blasphemhy. I do those when I have better things to do, not in my spare time.

>> I will paint and take pictures of my army soon. And possibly add to it. I was going to make GLaDOS, but my patience dropped surprisinly fast after I had made her head. : D


But I /am/ almost done with the next comic, just so you know, and I have the Left 4 Dead cartoon planned out.


Yup!

And my brother is evil in multiplayer games. He teamkills a lot and kept closing the safehouse door on the poor person in L4D after we got the power back and tramped over to my neighbor's house (And yes, John, after I terrified your little sister accidentally by coming over to say hi to you) and got to play the game for the first time ever.



So, anyway...

The power is back, and I should be able to go back to drawing a bit more regularly soon. <3


Yup, ok, bye!

I will do those requests in December, ok? Unless I get terribly inspired.

But...

I really do have to focus on school work and nanowrimo. So.


<3

By the way, my nanowrimo is a mutant child amoung all my other sad little children. Of course, Clone Story is on life support and Debbie is in need of some stabbing, but neither of them ever started of as bizzarly as this one. XD And yes. I refer to my stories as my children. :>

But. Yeah. I am going to get back to ever more writing now. TT-TT I should have started earlier.

The person who catches my 5,000 pageview gets a little request? Does that sound like fun? *is clearly trying to avoid doing something...*

Now I am just stealing ideas from everyone. Bwahahahahah! But. Anyways. >> Seriously. I have I lied to you before? Don't answer that...>>'


Back to my essays. TTwTT Hello Cold War...

Club I am in :




I will work on the next comic later, ok? Ok. <3

And it also helps me better think about my characters. Some of these are from my novella in progress and two or three are from my nanowrimo. XD
Which is pure crack, thanks for asking.

Yeah. Pure. Crack.

I suppose I should just say now that I will swear in some of these. Mainly because I really, reall, REALLY hate Debbie. D:< And don't deal with that hatered in a good way. But oh well. I get to kill her off in the next half hour or so of writing. >:3


1. Debbie is actually Lindsey in disguise, you know.
...Jeeze, thanks for making me want to smack my poor little religious character now.

2. What song could be Sivv's theme song?
OBVIOUSLY the Caramelldansen.

3. What's your fondest memory of Dave?
You know, the part where he is all, 'no can do' and then gets killed. By tea. Who is wanted for the murder of six.

4. What would you do if you hadn't met Karen?
Uuuuuuuh...be a sad kitten?

5. Does Devon have any pets?
He would freaking kill them if he did! D:<

6. How would Lindsey insult Karen?
"If you do not give up your computers you shall burn in Hell along with all those people who don't believe in the religion of Can. Convert now!" Because she would want to get Karen to join up. X3 But she really wouldn't mean it, right Linds?
Lindsey: >: You aren't in any position to speak, Episopalian.
Rxi: D:< Hey! I'm not confirmed into any faith!
Lindsey: Want to join-
Rxi: No. I'm cool not wearing cloaks. Sometimes. >>
Lindsey: -_____- Awww...

7. What's your fondest memory of Toaster?
When it made me toast.

8. In a race between you, Lesley and Karen, who would win?
Well, Karen would start out in the lead, closely followed by Lesley...I'm slow, so I would be in the back. But then, Karen would trip and fall, spilling her tea, which would form a puddle and cause Lesley to slip. I, however, would have time to avoid the puddle. So, to answer your question, Lesley would win. TT-TT

9. Have you ever been in Myers's house?
Yes. And I got toast there.

10. Would you marry Andi?
No. Not into that kind of relationship...^^' Oh, and the whole...she's dead thing...>>' That too...

TT-TT


1. Describe Sivv in one word.
Jerk.

2. Would you love to read Devon's very personal diary?
No. No, I wouldn't.

3. Who would you rather get stuck in handcuffs with, Myers or Toaster?
0:
Um...Myers. Because he's just that epic.

4. Who's Debbie dating?
Nobody, dammit! She would drive them to DEATH!!!

5. What would you do if Karen confessed love to you?
"Um, Karen...I think I have to tell you something. I haven't been completely honest with you. I'm actually not a guy. .....or an andoid. I'm sorry about this. Really."

6. How did you meet Dave?
Through the internet!

7. What do you think about Toaster?
Toaster made my weird story become totally epicly insane.

8. Ever slept in the same room with Lesley?
No.

9. What's Lindsey to you?
A neat little religious fanatic who loves rules more then the actual practice of faith. :3

10. What song could be Andi's theme song?
Mr. Bad Guy! : D


1. Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Rxi and Sivv! How will it go?
Sivv would leave. Because he's mean like that. And Rxi and I would go and ride all sorts of fun fun rides.
Rxi: These fun fun adventure amusement part marathon rides are the best fun fun I've had all year.
Me: Meh, AAC was more fun fun.
Rxi: Screw you.
Me: >: Sometimes I really hate you.
Rxi: Yeah, I know.
Me: You do realize you die before being in my nanorimo, right?
Rxi: What?! But I'm invincible!
Me: Yeah, about that...

2. Lesley got turned into an animal! What animal is it?
A bear! With a pink nose.

3. What would you do if Debbie confessed love to you?
Smack her.

4. What would you do if Dave and Debbie were going out?
Smack Debbie.

5. Who would be a better superhero sidekick between Karen and Toaster, and why?
Karen! Because Toaster looks damn good in a cape.

6. If you could do anything with Myers, what would it be?
Have an epic battle against the moist man.

7. How would Devon insult Toaster?
"I hate toast. And you are just a mindless hunk of metal. And I eat babies."

She thinks television is herasy.

9. What was your first impressi... ]]> ~Bystander42 http://Bystander42.deviantart.com/journal/21153890/ http://Bystander42.deviantart.com/journal/21153890/ Sat, 25 Oct 2008 10:57:39 PDT
Well, character ones are fun, so...X3

Lesse how this goes...>_<

These are the rules, live with them or die in a fire:
1. Choose at least 3 of your own characters.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions or change some.

I choose:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Myers
Sivv
Fail-Chell ( X3 )

What do you like to be called?
--------------------------------
Myers: ...Oh damn, it's another one of these...-_-' My name is Myers, and I refuse to answer any of these that are pointless or invasive.
Sivv: I, the amazing and much better then any organic creature, android am called Sivv.
Fail-Chell: *waves* Hello! I'm Chell!


Are you male or female?
-------------------------------
Myers: ...This is considered a stupid question, just so you know.
Sivv: Genders are the overrated lables of humans. I have none.
Fail-Chell: ...Female.


What are you exactly?
-------------------------------
Myers: There is actually a lot of confusion about this. I am a human, not a ghost.
Sivv: An android.
Fail-Chell: Human!


Where are you from?
-------------------------------
Myers: A city she *points at Rxi* is going to name eventually.
Sivv: Blancher.
Fail-Chell: Um....a city...


What's your typical agenda for the day?
-------------------------------
Myers: I get up at five, take a shower, drink so coffee and drive to work. Then I listen to about eighty ghosts blather on about their days. At some point, I get food, but only on good days. Then, at six, something terribly pointless happens and I have to stay late and fix it.
Sivv: No day is typical for so advanced an android as I.
Fail-Chell: Umm...a typical day before I got my new job or after? Well...before I would get up and look for work. :3 But my day so far has been kinda weird. >: So far I have been exposed to the dangerous 700 Megawatt Aperture Science Heavy Colliding Super...umm...Duty Button...>>
1500: ...>>'


Who do you love?
-------------------------------
Myers: ...
Sivv: Love is an unnecessary human emotion.
Fail-Chell: :> I dunno.


Any secrets?
-------------------------------
Myers: Only that you are really getting annoying.
Sivv: No. It's well known how superior I am to you.
Fail-Chell: Um...I'm not so good with money...^^' But I'm really good at puzzles. That's what my mom said all the time. And I like to jam.


Who would you like to screw?
-------------------------------
Myers: . . .
Sivv: ?
Fail-Chell: >:


Are you a virgin?
--------------------------------
Myers: *ignores*
Sivv: ...
Fail-Chell: Yes. :3


Any kids?
-------------------------------
Myers: In case you can't tell, I am ignoring you in hopes that it will end this discussion faster.
Sivv: No.
Fail-Chell: Nope.


What would you change about your life?
--------------------------------------------
Myers: I would like to say that I would have avoided this job, which has acted as a black hole for my life, but all jobs end up doing that.
Sivv: Nothing. Because my life is perfect. *hair toss*
Fail-Chell: I regret nothing so far. :3


What's your height?
-------------------------------
Myers: Average.
Sivv: Better then average.
Fail-Chell: Um, was that a valid responce? D:


And your weight?
-------------------------------
Myers: *ignores*
Sivv: Of course it was a valid responce! Nothing I say is ever wrong. D:<
Fail-Chell: I'm just saying that it seemed a bit strange...But I guess it doesn't matter, right? :>


Do you have any bad habits?
--------------------------------
Myers: I'm too nice. I should have left when you asked me for this interview.
Sivv: ...Of course I have none.
Fail-Chell: I am a bit of an air-head at times. ^-^


Favorite food?
--------------------------------
Myers: ...
Sivv: I am too good for food.
Fail-Chell: I love cake. <3



Do you hate anyone?
--------------------------------
Myers: Yes.
Sivv: I am above hatred. But she's annoying. *points at Fail-Chell*
Fail-Chell: D: Nobody is ever mean to me.


Why?
--------------------------------
Myers: Because they /waste my time./
Sivv: ...
Fail-Chell: Really, everyone is always so helpful. ^^ Especially GLaDOS, even though she made me stop jamming.


How do you unwind?
----------------------------... ]]> ~Bystander42 http://Bystander42.deviantart.com/journal/21065954/ http://Bystander42.deviantart.com/journal/21065954/ Sun, 19 Oct 2008 15:23:11 PDT
Another Anime Convention is now over. >:
It was epicly fun, though I was an idiot and had a really dumb costume today. One I had to carry. And now my shoulders are not so pleased...TT-TT
But. Enough of that.
I met so many awesome people! There was blue-haired man, Persian, Matt the epic pianist and many many others. And wait, there's more! 0:

But. Before I talk about the epic thing that happened this weekend, there is a need for the other, also very awesome stuff to be explained. So.

Day one didn't fail as much as a thought. Granted, I had more confidence in my outfit then last time I cosplayed, but a number of people recognized me! Yay! Two of them got it wrong, but I didn't have the heart to tell them I was a turret, not GLaDOS...>>' They seemed so pleased...oh well.

But. Kimchi played the piano for a long time, and I got to sing Still Alive and fail at it. XD I missed half the notes because of all the complicated notes she played, and because I usually only sing to the actual song or nothing at all...But. It was so much fun. Other people joined in too. Soooo much fun. I got a neat cake hat and went around professing the truth. The cake is no lie. And some stupid ten year olds would always deny that. D:<

I plan on wearing the hat in to school tomorrow. :3

And. Today I was the Weighted Storage Cube. And lots of people recognized me. XD Of course.

But. Lots of people wanted hugs. >> Which was pretty hard. Because I had no hands. And I ended up playing some GLaDOS dialog on my tape player and walking down the hallways.

But here is the real winner of the day.

I met somebody who had read my little Fail-Chell webcomicy thing. 0:
What did I just say? I met someone who knew Fail-Chell? Lies? Nope! :3 This is no lie.

TT-TT



...That was just about the most epic(third time used...D: ) thing ever.


Really.

Like, what are there, thirty tops people who have viewed my doodles? From across the world of DA? And the chances of meeting a person who has seen them? And the chances of me pulling out my sketch book and flipping past Fail-Chell? @_@ Freakin' low.

Look at me, still talking when I should be...*sighs* inking the last prepared comic. And then drawing up new ones. Or uploading the AAC pictures. D:

...


I want some cake...TT-TT

Club I am in:

I am working on way too many cosplay outfits, and they are almost all for Portal. I have my Zel one that needs some serious attention, but there are three other ones I have been working on.

How about a list?

~Humanized Maimed Turret- You know the one...the little turret in level 19 that can't shoot you...and is adorable...that way I don't need guns. Which my parents were, for some reason, freaking out about.
~Weighted Storage Cube- I can't fit through doors. >> It sucks.
~GLaDOS humanized- You all have seen the drawings. It will require much shiny white fabric.
~Zelgadis- I have the cloth. I have the abilities. I don't have the motivation. >: This one will be done for AB hopefully.

And. Another Anime Convetion is coming up. So I am looking forward to cosplaying. ^0^

Fun times.

And I just got the Orange Box. >> And will spend tomorrow playing Half-Life 2

This is to get rid of the huge journal earlier.

<3 First club I am in.

I had been procrastinating the last...half-hour (done three times. @@' ) of Portal.

But.


I win.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

Only.

I miss GLaDOS. >: She was going to make me a cake. With particle shaped particles. And the turrets. We were going to have a picnic. With cake.

>>


Are you thinking, 'is this seriously all she had to say?' If so. Get away from my journal. D:<

Because it is deserving of it's own. Journal. Right.

AND.

I made Chell into a very tachikomatic-ish person. And am drawing her a lot. Which makes me feel like a bad person. Because she comes off as having major issues.


Oh. And the ending song sequence. Is total and utter epic win. <3


And. One last thing.



>> *stares at Weighted Companion Cube* This is for leaving me behind on that level. D:< *kicks into an incinerator* HAHAHAH. Hah. Where's my turret? >:

Ummmmmm...... yup!



I still want to go to Wells. A lot.


And I want to go to a bookstore to read manga.

And soon I will get to learn how to use a sewing machine, which will make the construction of my Zel cosplay outfit go much more quickly I believe.

I went on a trolly tour...which was cool, I guess, except it reminded me of all the school field trips I had taken to Boston...

Then I got to go on a boat! <3 And I started raining, so I went onto the top deck and let my sweater soak it in. But then I realized that...>>' Well. I had my DS with me. In my pocket. And that it and my Ace Attorney game would get soaked. And maybe break. So I went under some shelter with my aunt and Jessica the opair of my cousins.

B-but then! But then! *dances* I got to go on the subway!!! ^0^ And to Harvard Square! Which I remember most for the Cosplay picnic. <3 Of course, it looked different in the rain and from another direction, so I couldn't navigate anywhere...but then, by some stroke of luck, I found myself at TokyoKid where I got myself some Ramune. :> Then, to finish off the day, I went to Harvard and called James to inform him that I was at a better school then he was. His responce was, "Well at least mine is cheaper." To which I said, "I know, mine beats yours again! >:3 "

Yeah. Then I got to sit backwards on the ride back home. Win.

But today...I am getting to pick James up from camp at last! TTwTT I have to show him the messed up family I killed on the Sims and give it to him...

Except first I am being made to tour UMass. Blah. Oh well. And Esther, I thought of you as we drove by Tufts. >:3

So....yeah. I get smushed ice cream today. And it lookes like it will be a lot nicer. Yaaaay...

2. Trevor
3. Edward
4. Rxi
5. Ami
6. Yureihi
7. Jerr
8. Damix
9. Isoc
10. Farin



Then you answer the questions below by plugging in the person next to the respective number into the question. It's kind of long...


WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF...

1.Number 1 (Lessa) woke you up in the middle of the night?

Hmm. Well...I would most likely be freaked out by the apperance of him, 'cause he just appears at random moments. Then he would blink at me and jump out my window. :> I would just sit there being really confused for a good hour.

2. Number 2 (Trevor) asked you to go out with him her?

Uuuuum....I would be bothered, because Trevor is a robot and shouldn't be wanting to date.

3. Number 3 (Edward) walked into the bathroom while you're showering?

D:< Punch him. I always knew Edward was too noble seeming.

4. Number 4 (Rxi) cooked you dinner?

Um...I don't think I would trust it...she is way to schemey for me to trust whatever she makes...

5. Number 5 (Ami) was lying next to you on the beach, sleeping?

Wake her up and ask her how those letter deliveries were going.

6. Number 8 (Damix) got into the hospital somehow?

D: He wouldn't. Ever.

7. Number 9 (Isoc) made fun of your friends?

I would make this face. D: But you can't really hit a cat without feeling badly afterwards.

8. Number 10 (Farin) ignored you all the time?

Nothing. I don't care too much about her. ^^'


WHAT WOULD THEY DO UNDER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES?


1. Two serial killers are hunting you down. What will Number 1 (Lessa) do?

He would kill them with some weird herb powder then flee into the night.

2. You're on a vacation with Number 2 (Trevor) and you manage to break your leg. What does Number 2 do?

Carry me to a hospital. Where Lessa would most likely heal me. >>'

3. It's your birthday. What will 3 (Edward) give you?

A shiny rock. Because he thought it looked pretty.

4. You're stuck in a house that's on fire. What does Number 4 (Rxi) do?

Laugh.

5. You're about to do something that'll make you feel extremely embarrassed. What will Number 5 (Ami) do?

She would do it with me because it looked neat.

6. You're about to marry Number 10. (Farin) What's Number 6's (Yureihi) reaction?

Drag me away to safety away from Farin and then yell at her about how terrible she is at telling genders. Then Farin would ask him to not interfere.
Me: Do I really look that much like a guy? TT-TT
Lessa: Do I really look that much like a girl? T-T

7. You got dumped by someone. How will Number 7 (Jerr) cheer you up?

Say nice things. ^^

8. You're angry about it afterwards, how does Number 8 (Damix) calm you down?

He doesn't. D:<

9. You compete in some tournament. How does Number 9 (Isoc) support you?

He fight with me. :3

10. You can't stop laughing. What will Number 10 (Farin) do?

Nothing. :>

RELATIONSHIP PART


1. Number 1 (Lessa) is all you've ever dreamed of.

Um...ok then? I guess I do like men with fox and kitty ears. <3

2. Number 2 (Trevor) tells you about his/her deeply hidden love for Number 9 (Isoc). Your reaction?

Aww, how cute. You like kitties! ^0^
Trevor: They is so fuzzeh. <3

3. You're dating Number 3 (Edward) and introduce him to your parents. Will they get along?

Edward is such a freak. D:< It would be a one-sided relationship to start with. He would freak out my parents by being all, "Hi, I'm Edward, and this is my sword Sparkles. Your daughter is the lady I fight for. <3 "

4. Number 4 (Rxi) loves Number 9 (Isoc) as well. What does that mean?

She likes cats too?

5. Number 6 (Yureihi) appears to be a player, he breaks many hearts. What do you do?

Me: Yureihi, why must you break so many hearts?
Yureihi: Because they all think I am a girl. D:<
Edward: Nooo...come back my lady...
6. You had a haircut and Number 7 (Jerr) can't stop looking at you. What goes on in your mind?

Me: You don't like it? D:
Jerr: ...Erk! ^^' N-no...I, er, like it fine...

7. Number 8 (Damix) thinks she'll never get a girlfriend. What will you tell him?

Mmmm...well...no comment?

8. Number 9 (Isoc) is too shy to face you and confesses their love by sending you an e-mail. Now what?

HEY! Cats can't type! They have no thumbs! D:<

...That's all I have to say.

Yes! I am back, and restored to 90% power! Actually...I've been back for a while. But I didn't feel like doing anything on DA apart from some commenting and one upload on another account. >; Shush.

So...anyways...I am missing four teeth, I felt next to no pain, I recovered for the most part in two days. X3 Hah! Score!

Also. I have found the college I, as of now (this may change when I get all fickle and annoying >>' ) is Wells College in Aurora, NY. It is love. <3

And. I got my ACT score back. Not officially, but I got the rough copy. Here's how it goes as of now.

English: 26
Mathematics: 28
Reading: 34
Science: 27
Composite Score: 29

>>' Somehow, I must of had a /few/ issues with that English. I like to believe it was the mushroom hunting part that messed me up. Because Science should /never/ come ahead of English. Aren't familiar with the ACT scoring way? Look et up. D:< I am not going to type that up for you.

Um...news? Oh. I got a new art book. Today. Yaaaaay.

But seriously? Um. I haven't really done anything this week. That is, besides look at a few colleges. I haven't even started my IDs. Oops. >:

I have to get down to studying, seeing as the SATs are next week. ~.~' Not cool.

Um. Yeah. My hair is a lot like Zelgadis' hair. Except it is more brownishy-blonde. And my bangs aren't long enough. And it's slightly more curly. But besides that. It is a whole lot like his hair. Which has never happened to me before. >>' And my eyes are the same colour too. But I'm not distant, quiet or aloof, so it's cool. :3 And my determination skills, focus and strength of will all suck, so the similarities end there. Though...I most likely would not like going out in public if I were turned into a chimera. >///<' Not that I'm self-conscious or anything...w-what?! Stop looking at me like that.

:> Ummm....Slayers has fillers that abuse characters. Zelgadis has been used as an anchor, told he looks like someone's dead, lovely young wife, put into a rabbit outfit, turned into a doll and made to sing a very girly song.

Aaaaand...um...there's going to be a new Harvest Moon game for the Wii. And I am getting it when it comes out. *determined pose* Nothing shall stop me. >:3

Ok. I have actually run out of things to say. Scratch that. I ran out a while ago. >>' When I talk about anime characters, you should know I am done saying important things. Ok, until next time. <3

...So anyways...school vacation is next week. Normally, this would mean that I would be spending tons of time online drawing and doing fun things but....(This is where all my school friends can stop paying attention for a while, because this not only does not apply to them, but they have also been alerted to stuff. Except half of you. Wait. Now I am confused....@.@)

You see, I think I have been taking the internet a bit too seriously recently. If you don't know what I am actually like I will tell you right now. I end up getting devoted to people and things. Seriously. So, I can't be friends with someone for long without feeling a strongish connection with them. So when lots of these people I call my friends are unhappy and emo and brooding, I directly feel that vibe and have to try my best to ignore it if they aren't close enough or make the person feel better. In real life this mainly works out, because I know how to deal with the person most of the time but...online, most people don't want logic or compassion because it feels 'fake' even when most people who are sympathetic actually do care and aren't being freaks. So when people come on and rant, they don't want to be cheered up. And they end up making other people, mainly those who are close to them, miserable. I recently have been getting a lot of that. Not to mention that I sometimes do want attention and find enough of it to get by usually online. When people start ranting about how terrible their lives are and how things suck for them, people without issues tend to be forgotten. Which is ok if they can find attention elsewhere, but I for one am not very social, and I swear, my friend's ears bleed in real life when I trap them in a one-sided conversation about me and what I am up to. So...in short...I just trapped you all in this discussion also and I have gone off on a tangent. Now to go back to an earlier topic, I am at the moment worn out physically, mentally and right now my emotional battery is being drained by emo kids who are not only younger then me, but have a new issue every day and feel a need to talk about it. One of those a week...I can deal with it. But suddenly, just when I was at 40% of my normal abilities, all you guys ganged up on me and went depressed, emo, over-reative, and all kinds of angsty on me. Nothing against you personally, I happen to enjoy some people who are like that a lot, but there is only so much a person can take. For example, being totally ignored after being in a discussion for a long time is not something that I see as a positive thing. >>' There is a point to this....just hang on...
Anyways, think I just need to step back from it all for a bit. Only, I am kinda really ticked off by you all...no offence. It's half my fault. I haven't had a decent nights sleep in months and I am well overdue for a stress free day. Which isn't gunna happen for a while.

Also, I am going to have oral surgery on Friday, and I won't be getting on until at least Sunday purely because of that. Perfect timing in my opinion. I will be on pain meds and off my medications for an undetermined amount of time and maybe I am just too stressed. Really. @@' But I am feeling a bit unloved...

Just because I don't have any real issues doesn't mean I can't feel unloved by you all. And while you all complain about not getting love from new members, I have remained silent. The only way people talk to me is if I talk first. The only way people really comment on my art is if I say I am taking requests. One or two exceptions to that, but still...it's enough to make a girl want to leave for a bit.

I most certainly sound angsty here. Maybe you guys will pay attention to this because of that. >:


...

(For real life friends and such, you can now start reading without geting the angst for the most part. Yeah. It's kinda come to this...)

So...I am totally not looking forward to getting my wisdom teeth cut out. I will be drooling blood for a while I suppose...at least I have some good support from some of you. :>

Umm...yup. May not be on for most of next week. Sorry guys...
X< And seeing as I will be drugged at least through Sunday, it doesn't look like I will make any sense if I get on during those days.

Sunshine happiness and robots! I am trying to displace the negativity of this! I should spin me some leeks! 0:

So...I am waiting for the new Trinity Blood manga to come out...it's taking forver...and then it can filter to all you people who have been getting it from me. X3

In the mean time...I have been watching Slayers and reading the novels and it is <3, though not as much as TB...

And my hair is kinda like Zel's on certain days...only less like wire, less pu... ]]> ~Bystander42 http://Bystander42.deviantart.com/journal/17492635/ http://Bystander42.deviantart.com/journal/17492635/ Mon, 24 Mar 2008 13:08:58 PDT

Yeah, so, really. Short. Notice. Is it not? Well, here's a little story. Once there was a girl who went to church on Ash Wednesday. She listened to her priest talk about how people should give up something and learn by it, not just use it as a diet oportunity. So she though, what do I love that I could give up. The internet. And so she gave it up and had terrible dreams where she went online and broke her promise. Because she is a freak. But she is a freak who went to ANIME BOSTON! :>

Costume= Tachikoma
Theme= Asking for Natural Oil

First of all, mah new cousin just got baptised and all that. :> It was cool and stuff, and I got to have a slumber party with mah little cousins. And one them kept bothering me about the pressure point behind the ear. And asking all about that. So I told her about sticking a needle in you eye with novicane on it and not feeling anything. X3 And I also mentioned Pumpkin. The squid. And had them all watch Pokemon VHS tapes. Because I am seriously just that cool. (Yes friends, you are not unique in the right that I tried to force some upon you.)

But, yeah, I started working on a little hobby of mine during the party...under the watchful eye of an eager little boy who would not shut up. And who was very nice and all, but would not leave me alone for a freakin' second. D<

>>' Here's the part I feel bad about telling you. I intended to go behind all your little backs with this, but now I realized I am really bad at keeping secrets. So I will tell you out right with a few extra things.

*coughs* Ok, so, I have another accound here just for a new project I am starting up, which is a comic I am hoping to actually stick with for the first time in my life. One with a bit more of a plot and ability to keep going. So, like, if you actually care, you can go there and look at the two things I have. And then leave. Because it is going to be an account I can ignore as much as I like with no obligations to others. And my reasoning for not saying anything was the whole thing where people would feel obligated to watch and then I would feel obligated to actually work on getting things up, and then I would not be able to take my good sweet time with things. @.@' So, yes. Shh. It's a secret. [link] :> And it involves another non-gender character. Because I love 'em. And Esther, you are brilliant for the alternate design of the little floofy things you drew last year. D:

...

Anyways...um...it was really warm in New Jersey today. And my mum and I ran over the stripped carcass of a deer on the highway. And I finished my IDs on Friday. Or did I say that...>>' Uuuuuh...anyways...that's all then? Do not stalk me? D: I dunno. Maybe I just need to shut up now. And Kimchi, I am getting the pic-ture for your contest ready soon. :>

Only here's what's special: there is no ice. So, anyways, I was tagged. D: And I shall do so. *thinks* And I will cut some serious corners on Drago's little thing. But Maraha's does not involve saying if I would marry one of my friends or if they would have a relationship with each other.


The rules:
1. Post all the rules!
2. Write eight things about yourself.
3. Post these things into your journal.
4. Tag eight other people.
5. Visit their journals so that they have NO excuse not to do it!


8 Things About Me:

1. I am finally getting around to inking all my stupid comic pages.
2. I am going to be spending all of today on IDs, drawings, chores, swimming and DDR-ing.
3. I actually dreamt something about DDR. Some of you guys *points to RL friends* were all playing with the WiiDR. And I was trying to show you how I had Love Shine. X3
4. I am actually spoiled enough to have a TV in my bedroom. Granted it's really my family's old VHS portable television that was lurking in the basement until I abducted it, and granted I use it to watch my old Pokemon VHS tapes (>>' Shush.) but it is in my room. In the closet. Unplugged. ^^'
5. Um...I wish I could write better?
6. I like forming odd little alter-personalities about anime and book characters, and I use them to base how I talk about said characters. (ie. Every character I start spazzing about. Marvin excluded.)
7. I write down some of my dreams, and they are pretty weird. >>
8. I absolutly loath my drawing style and wish I had one that was more skillful. And awesome.


I don't tag people. D:


Anyways, you won't hear from me much, for all my internet friends. Two of my classes demand lots of homework and effort, and one of the others is Art. And I want to do lots of work in that class. So, I will rarely be able to Oekaki besides possibly weekends. IDs are really no fun.


Also, this weekend I am going to my cousin's (*cough* Godsister. XD ) baptism. My mum and I are driving down tomorrow in the morning and I will most likely have to sleep on the floor. But that's cool. My back is already dead from backpacks. As I said before, I am starting to ink a few of my cartoons. I just need to colour them now and scan them in.

Yup. So. I am totally going to Anime Boston. But I need to work for enough hours to earn fifty dollars. Because I need to pay back my parents for some parts of it. But if you are going, talk to me.

And...that's it. I should work on ID's now, but I have a few more electronic things to do.

Anyways, yeah, so, I want finals to be done so I can try to earn more money. By doing chores. For once. And maybe also finishing this little story I have started. And maybe studying for SATs.


Oooh, anyone heard of some good colleges for learning to be a teacher? Because that's what I want to go to college to learn. High school teacher...English... Laugh. And. I will. Eat. You. D:<

Seriously, if you are one of my online friends and want to try to get me to live near you in two years, this is a perfect oportuninty. And I spelled that wrong. Oh well.

So, I will eventually work on my drawings. Like, how I have lots of Super Squid things...that I have to ink and colour...and I have another little Pokemon scribble cartoon of doom. And I want to do that whole 'Kimi' competition' thing because it look fuuuuuun...:3




Now let us all dance to Sandstorm! ^^


Happy fishes!

So, yeah, I am making Logman famous! Or I want to anyways. He has two fan art things on the way. Or so I have heard. So if you want to make me happy, draw Logman!

It's to be called 'Curves' ...or something...

Hey, so, if you are still reading this, I am amazed! So I will tell you that I was reading my old journal last night...and found that last year around this time I became depressed then went completely mad. :> It was all deep and then I turned the page and I saw all this manic joy and uber happiness. But I still want to be a robot. Or have a robot. Who would be my bestest friend. >> Um, and that's all for tonight! *coughs* Have a pleasant tomorr- *killed* I mean, er, happy fishes! :3

Now that I have had my dosage of poking buttons on my iTunes account thing, onto more important matters. I am going to Anime Boston as- *killed* Won't say. Secret. Except, like, everyone knows. But you Zoe. And I won't tell. Everyone else can be in the loop, but you. Just because you are an only child. And you're chin-handed. But mostly because you don't know who the heck it is, and you wouldn't know even if I told you said characters name. And to all people who don't go to my school, I am keeping it secret too. >:3 *coughs* No, really, I am going to spazz about it tomorrow to everyone, so...yay for ADD! :3

Yeeeeees, in case people have not noticed yet, I have been corrupted (in a good way. :3) and now, without ever having played the games, have become quite 'into' it. *cough* Not obsessed or anything. ^^'

Anyways, I also just got a tablet. Yaaaaay. And learned that if you ask someone if they have Flash, they will lead you to jump drives. And that hand washing a jacket takes a lot of arm strength. But I digress. My new tablet is a Wacom and is all shiny and grey and pretty looking on my newly cleaned desk. Even though my drawings didn't magically improve or anything, I am pretty pleased about getting it, because I have been wanting one for quite a while.

Another new thing, more relating to the first statement then the second, is that I am now in another Oekaki that some of my online friends just started out. And is KH themed. So...I joined to help it get some members, but, its pretty awesome. X3 And I am supposed to advertise. *coughs* Not that I am insinuating anything right now...[link] Only...somehow it is more of an Org. 13 site...00'

My little cousins are coming over on the weekend, so I am going to continue to corrupt them with manga and anime. <: It's gunna be a fun weekend with them wanting to play Harvest Moon all the time and me having the read manga and watch anime. Oh yes...

Lots of school work this week. Yeah. That's all on that topic...








...that's all I've got. >:

1. I have only been into manga and anime for less then a year and a half and yet I have obsessed over many series for about three months average for each.

2. I still have stuffed animals that I keep on my bed. >: Only one of them is in the car now...but Calcifer will find his way but upstairs eventually.

3. I have just gotten finger puppets which make me very happy. Especially my L finger puppet. :>

4. My doodles turn out looking better then my final products.

5. I have many nervous habits...

6. I am supposed to take medication to get it together and go to bed. >:

7. Most of my favorite characters have something wrong with them. Screed cut of peoples toes...(^^) Calcifer had dreams of grandure that were almost unatainable for him until later on in the anime movie...Inuyasha...has trouble trusting people...Kyo has issues with not being loved enough (hugged enough as a child)...Gaara...I just don't know where to start with Gaara...@.@' And L is borderline insane with an obsession for sweet things. Yay for crazy...

8. Uuuuum...I like it when things are somewhat dangerous or have some threat? ^^'


'Kay, I don't want to tag anyone. >: So I won't.

Anyways, I should upload my massive amount of drawings soon...before I doodle any more...some will be going straight to scraps for lack of colour or goodness, so just to let you all know...mostly Sand Sib ones, though there is a stupid cartoon in the mix.


Ok, so...I am done talking now. Riiight...so, I'm back. ^^

On the bright side, my aunt bought me charcoal pencils! ^^ Really not good at them though...@.@ But you'll see what I mean by that eventually, if I ever find a way to fix the computer before I leave for another week.

Another cool thing is...today, meh brother, Esther and I all have a swim meet on the beach shore! Yays! Only...the coaches seem to be talking about lobster, which is not a cool food. Blech! >.<

Well...that's about all for now. ^^' Hope everyone else is having a good summer. I will be gone either from tomorrow or Monday till next Sunday, and then maybe even for a few more weeks. Busy summer.

Ok, so yesterday was my birthday and all, so I got tons of cool stuff and got to see my cousins who I haven't seen in, like a year or something. One of them was crazy and hyper and way too over the top for even me to keep up with, and the other was just awesome as always. He had started reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, aka the best book EVER, and did not think of Marvin as a plasticine white robot with green eyes. Dude, he rocks. ~.~ Aaaaaanyways, I have more stuff to talk about. Gasps!


I am NOT going to be online for a really long time most likely. On Sunday, both me and my brother are going to help out at a summer camp, so we won't be able to get online much. When we do get online, neither of us will be able to submit anything. > : Sadness. And then, on top of that, I am going to my aunt's house to help out/ be with my cute little cousins and will not be able to do much online during that week. So yah, no more updates for a while. You can stop cheering now. So, see you all around.! ^^ ]]> ~Bystander42 http://Bystander42.deviantart.com/journal/13516035/ http://Bystander42.deviantart.com/journal/13516035/ Wed, 27 Jun 2007 18:42:53 PDT

Ok, so anyways, I am really excited now. I just managed to scan in a ton of bad drawings and I am really happy with my accomplishment of doing that. Only now the scanner has traces of pastel over the outside of it.

So far I have one large project for the summer that has to do with art. I think most of you know about it already so I won't say what it is. Only that I am going to make it into my poster for the Anime Club if I can ever get through it. I am thinking that I won't use colour. It's much to troublesome. But seeing as I have lots of free time so far, I might just end up colouring it. Yeah...

For some reason I am in a really weird mood right now. Sorta too excited about nothing. It's sooooo green out today. Trees and more trees and a buuuuuush...I think I should just stop looking outside now. M'kay, so now I have tons of scraps and stuff. Yay!

Well, my life is officially worthless to 73% of the world. Today I played the role of a human sketch pad for people to draw over. Uch...I think I still have ink on my skin...I guess it was a bad idea after all...And to top that off I nearly killed myself swimming after I decided not to breath for the last 1/4th of a lap. Bad idea. Wait, good idea, wrong person to do it. Also, I think that iTunes hate me with a vengence. It has no good song on it, or at least none that I would like to get, and I have lost my patience with it many a time. Stupid iTunes. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, bloody iTunes. I wish to stab it. And kill it. Kill it by stabbing it repeptetavly and then laughing as it slowly bleeds to death and its lawyers come and take me away. Maybe if that happened I could become a robot. And then I would be happy. Really happy. Hah! That would be neat...er, I mean, its not like I would ever do that or something. Nope. But on the upside, Esther made me feel really happy when she talked about my story today. Especially since she was not making fun of it. Best part of my day. But I would still like to be a robot...

Well, I am out of things to rant about. Ah well. Back to typing and stuff!

Why is it that school break is making me feel so bored? There are so many constructive and not so constructive things I could be doing right now, but I do not feel like doing a single one of them, even writing. All break I have been sitting about playing video games and reading, which is what I always do, so that is nothing new...eh, maybe I need to reread Winter Knights or something. It has gotten so monotenous that I found myself standing at the end of my street singing Memory from Cats at eight thirty tonight in the falling snow. While I was walking back to my house I started singing What a Wonderful World. I definatly need to find something better to do tomorrow. Maybe I will do all my homework then and study...but it seems so boring...I got to work the cameras tonight at my town's local cable show because only one other person showed up. That was pretty cool. Urgh...I really need to find a life or something. In fact, after I finished reading Winter Knights, the eigth book in the Edge Chronicles, I walked into my bedroom and though, 'You know, I could die right now and I would be happy just because I finished this book.' Stupid life. Why can't it be more fun or interesting? Ah well, at least the book was lovely, which made me smile all day as I read it continuously. I think I might work on my story tomorrow. I still have over twenty five written pages in a marble notebook to make better and get into typed font. In fact, I think I will start now. Hurray for random inspiration from writing! It has brightened up my apathetic mood!
