Do not want.
So, rather than continue pathetically floundering around trying to write this one particularily frustrating essay, I'm just going to update this here journal. D: Indeed.

School is alright. I'm finally becoming a real member of my Chinese class. ;w; I get to sit with the other students and do the vocal exercizes, and I even get to turn in projects with the rest of them! Thankfully most of the sophomores in the class are really friendly, and the other teacher's assistant doesn't seem to mind me hanging with the rest of the class. <33 Yay. Oh, and Forensics is winding down nicely. So is Anatomy and Physiology, though we still have a pig dissection left before class is over.
Yes, you read that right.
We get to dissect a real pig 8D.
How.
Cool.
I'm so naming my pig. Well, my group's pig.
And we get to do a video project about Hamlet for one class. With any luck we'll land the first act and my group will let me write the script. >D Oh how I do love writing scripts.

I'm actually pretty excited about this Thanksgiving. The holiday itself is probably going to be pretty bland for me and mine, but only because everyone is out of town or at college or doing something else. D: My dad's birthday is the day after Thanksgiving, though, and we're all going to dinner and a movie. The movie in question?
NINJA ASSASSIN.
8D Yaypromotingjournalskinsponer!
It's gonna rawk. >w<
Then I'm going to a friends house to watch campy films. D: Also going to rawk.

I -finally- got a copy of Beethoven's Last Night, by the Trans Siberian Orchestra. I have wanted this CD for SO LONG ;w;. It kicks a lot of ass. I like it much more than their Christmas stuff, and their Christmas stuff is really BAMF as it is. <33 Go look them up and stuff. RECOMMENDATION PLZ.

Still working on Tharsis. I'm into the tedious part of language creation now. SOBORING. Thinking of trying geography for a while instead. D: I have a couple sketches done but I feel the need to ink and color stuff for once, if only manually. I really miss photoshop but I hate to ask dad to install it so close to his birthday.
AND GUESS WHO JUST GOT ACCEPTED TO ONE OF SEVEN APPLIED COLLEGES 8DD!
Yay~
Now I just have to see if the other six will take me too xD.
Thatswhatshesaid.
D: The one I got the acceptance letter from was pretty much my very last resort school. Y'know, if absolutely no others work out >>. So hopefully my other choices will reply very soon ;w;.

In lieu of interesting things going on in my life, here's a quiz. 8D ENJOY BETCHES.

SO.
TIRED.
I was up for almost 24 hours.
We had a good time, though. After all the rounds were over me and the other people in my group gathered all the leaves up and made a big pile and we played around a bit. They're pretty awsome. :] Then we got lost and wound up home at midnight and I went to sleep.
Hooray!

Mostly this week has been a break from essays and large assignments. Next week we're going back to the grindstone; tests, disections, essays, and lest I forget the two major projects for my Econ class and graduation requirements >>;.
TEH FUN.
IZ OVERWHELMING.
But at least I have DA <33.

The only other thing to say is I've finished my seventh Discworld book and, lacking the eighth, have started The Davinci Code. D< Don't look at me like that, it's just for the experience! It's not bad for a light read; it's just not a dependable source for facts or deep characterization or anything.
THIS IS THE PARAGRAPH THAT I REFER TO IN MY TITLE.
Because there was nothing else to use there ;____;

Anyways, in lieu of an update (I did put up two pictures. D< One is in my scraps. GO THERE.) here's a quiz I snatched from Boof. <3 Hooray again!

He had to reinstall things like Word and Photoshop but I still have all my old files and stuff so it's all good. He even fixed the resolution for me ;w;

So happy.

Halloween was fun. I handed out candy and our house didn't get egged or rolled so I'm counting it as a victory. The morning of I had to go to an interview with some guy from Rochester University, and I think it went well. :] I like the school a lot and even though I seriously doubt I can get funding to go there at least I get along well with the dean of financial aid. That counts, right? We spent most of the time just talking about my town and how cool science fiction is (the nerdiness dripping from our conversation).
Anyways, a couple of you asked me last journal which schools I'm applying to. Since everyone keeps asking in real life and I keep having to tell them I figure I can't jinx myself any worse by laying the list out here as well. These are the six I'm applying to or already have applied to:

Rochester University
Pennsylvania State
UTK (Because instate college is teh cheaper)
UTC
Auburn University
Rennslaer Tech
Vanderbilt

No, I don't want to go to Vanderbilt (It's an instate school that costs a lot and has its own private hospital and stuff). I'm not going to get the funding for it (That's not pessimism, that's just a fact. To get scholarships for Vanderbilt you've either got to be Jesus or be so damn close no one can tell the difference. D< They want perfect scores and volunteer hours and kids who can revive the dead), it's expensive, and the only students there will be rich kids or work-a-holics, the two groups I get along with the worst. And besides all that, it's not a good school for my major. I'd be tossing out 80k every year for an education I could get just as well at the University of Tennessee. >> My mom is forcing me to and I'm just going to look forward to her dissapointment later when they guffaw at us.
I'm actually not that optimistic that any out of state schools will offer me enough scholarship money either, but I'm more willing to try for them because they at least have decent physics departments and actual observatories.

Right now it's looking like I'm going to have my best shot at going to Auburn, which I have mixed feelings about. On one hand it's a very nice school and on the other it's in bloody Alabama. I'm trying to avoid the overly warm summers and ignorant redneck culture; this seems like such a step backwards >>;.
(It's better than Florida I guess)

BUT ENOUGH OF THIS ARBITRARY NONSENSE.

Still working on EleMental, mainly the language and geography at this point. I've got a working alphabet (yey) and a pretty good list of words started. :] Should still be in development for a while and it's probably not the most important thing about the story, but it means stuff to me.

I've also got quite a few pictures coming along now that I've got my scanner back and those should be up very soon.

Currently all my classes are concerned with dumping an insane number of projects on us and my clubs are finally asking me to do things as well, so I may have less time as we near December. I spent most of last week just writing essays. It was miserable ;___;

Anyways, that's probably about it for me this week. <3 I'll post a quiz if I can find one. AND GERMANY KNOWS WHO I'M TAGGING, TOO.

Dzetl,
Kitteh

So we just had our 3rd Annuel Forensics Tournament. Like last year I got to work the food stand, but rather than sitting under a table all day puppetiering a 'magical' hat that tells you the different prices for drinks and pizza, I actually got to be the station manager.

;______w_____; She finally trusts me! It took three years and I'm not continuing the class anyways, BUTSHETRUSTSME! -squeel-
The implications here are endless. Someday she may even learn my last name!
-gasp-!

... Aaand I still spent an hour under the table anyways >>.
But only because I'm irreplacable, darling ;D.
We call our hat the Sorting Hat of Value and it isn't worth staring at the underside of a table for two hours. So I got up and took orders instead. I got to use words like 'comestables' and everything, reeeeaaal fancy-like, y'all. |D

Anyways, it was pretty awsome. I never really had to do anything except at lunch, and I got underlings and Doritoes and stuff. The only downside was after the last round some competiters came to talk with us and most of them were sort of unsavory >>. Also I don't work well with people. 8D But who cares? At least ninety percent of my day was sitting and doing nothing.

We're on holiday for the entire week next week so I should be able to get some things done (finally!) I have a few new drawings I'll try to take somewhere and get scanned <3. Mostly I've been back at work on EleMental, which is eating through my time like a tapeworm through an intestine (the visual you just got from that was worth it :3). I'm not sure I'll have anything upload-worthy soon, but I'm working on a map and some short stories. The main plot is horrid. D: THE WORK, MY GOD.
And I've not forgotten about the Sentients, by the way. >> It's just even more work than EleMental. Who knew you had to research things for accuracy amirite?

And you guys should definately try sporcle. It's amazing. Thanks to sporcle I can name all the countries. D< ALL OF THEM. And it won't be long before I can do it ALPHABETICALLY.
Skills, my friends. Skills.
And, because my other computer is probably perma-dead and I'm not sure I can play Diablo II on a laptop with one CD tray, I'm back to playing DK 64. AND I FINALLY GOT THAT BLASTED NINTENDO COIN ;___w___;. TEN YEARS and I finally got it! I celebrated by braying like a drunk donkey with spine injuries (Again, the visual on that... Worth it). I can finally beat the game all the way through~
And I didn't even need a cheat sheet >w<

College stuff blah blah applications FAFAS things of no particular interest.
D: It's a big part of my life, don't get me wrong. It's just not as entertaining to talk about. Things are being turned in and essays are being written and so on and so forth. I'm applying to about six schools, aaand we'll see in a couple months where I can go the cheapest. <3 Most of the first year dorms have internet access included in the rate so I should still be able to talk to you guys, if I ever get time. Which I will. D< OH I WILL.
School is fine, nothing of interest.

Oh! Annddd, it's been confirmed. I am, in fact, going to China for spring break
>_______W_______<
YEY!
Well, it's a tentative yes and mom's not paid anything yet, and we're not sure how we'll pay for it all anyways, but I'm pretty sure if we just cut back a little we'll manage. Hell, if we spent less on chocolate alone we could save twenty a month, and the payments are less than a hundred, I think. <3 I'm really excited about it. It's going to be really fun and new and I just hope I'll retain some of what the class talked about when we go. The only things I remember right now are numbers and insults ;w;. Ah well.
Anyways it's gonna rock and I'll post all the pictures and stuff and I'll miss you guys like crazy <333.
AND I DEFINATELY PROMISED GERMANY I WOULD VISIT HER NEXT TIME I LEFT THE COUNTRY BUT I'M A HORRIBLE LIAR AND SHE SHOULD KNOW THIS ALREADY.

That's about it from me <33. Oh! And a quick question for you all: Troy and Kas, in EleMental, have a younger sister. I can't decide on a name. Any suggestions? I'm considering Leto and Dzenga at present. .3. Preferably something fictitious and not taken from any major work of literature. Or any minor work of literature. D< Don't steal.

Toodles~

PS: Here's a quiz we haven't done yet 8D! Hooray.

1. Who is your celebrity crush?
N/A.

2. What are you most excited for?
I should say a lot of other perfectly normal things but I'm going to say peanuts, because you're not expecting that. Why? Because legumes are neat.

3. What was the last thing you bought?
A pendant from a craft's fair thing. It's really cool, and my only regret is not brining a hundred extra to pay for the bigger, more spindly one >>. Also, a ne... ]]> ~RabidKittyLizard http://RabidKittyLizard.deviantart.com/journal/27507661/ http://RabidKittyLizard.deviantart.com/journal/27507661/ Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:46:38 PDT I really need to update more often >>.

So remember how I was complaining about not having a working mouse 8D?
I was surfing around tektek and Gaia and caught a bad spyware bug. So we had to turn off my computer. And it turns out that at some point my motherboard was also (very probably) struck by lightening. So now I have no functioning computer and I've probably lost all my saved files.
I would like my iffy mouse problem back now please ;__;

So now I'm pretty much restricted to my laptop. I don't know how long it'll take my dad to fix my computer (considering that he made this diagnosis roughly a week ago and hasn't bothered to do anything about it), so looks like the hiatus stays >>. Thankfully I did save some of the more important things to a flashdrive first.
The worst part?
I actually have got some things I wanted to scan in Ffffff. >______o

And SWEET JESUS have I been busy. We had homecoming week a while back. :3 We did our annual buggy parade, and for once in bloody ages my house class actually won. Four years of hard work and I finally won! Plus I got to wear a fro and look silly <3.
Plus, most of my classes have decided to just dump work on us. It's ridiculous. But it's not that tedious, so at least it keeps me interested. I'm learning, so what does it matter xD?
The only problem is my government class. The teacher's a nice person and the classwork isn't hard but the people... Dear God, the people. D< They just anger me so deeply. They're homophobic, intolerant, disrespectful- Everything I dislike about living in the south.
But that's about the worst of it.
I also had my first Forensics comp of the year~!
It was actually really awesome and I almost made it to finals, if not for a mix up with the judge's ballet the last round.

I really hope I can take the Chinese class for real next semister. Right now I'm just an aid but the class looks really fun. The teacher's a really fun person, too. The best part?
He's organized a trip to China this spring break!
8DDDD
HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!
I really, really want to go but it's pretty expensive >>. I hope I can go.

Speaking of cost, FECKING COLLEGE PREPARATION.
It keeps demanding to be done D<.
Baaaah. I wish there was one form I could fill out and be done with it. BUTNO.
BECAUSE I DO SUCH AN EXCELLENT JOB OF THAT ALREADY AMIRITE?

That's really about it. When I'm not doing club stuff or school stuff or college stuff I'm usually asleep or trying to sleep or watching cheesy movies. I did find a couple neat sites I've been addicted to, like Thatguywiththeglasses and Sporcle. And I've been trying to catch up on old animes.
I tried watching Elfen Leid.
o_________o
Germany, why?! Why for the love of Christ did you recommend this?
DID NOT ENJOY.
But right now I'm trying to get through Neon Genesis Evangelion and it's not that bad. :3 Six more episodes, and then I'm going to try Yu Yu Hakusho and D. Grey Man. Yay!

Oh, and I made it to episode 163 of Yu-GI-Oh! before I absolutely could not keep marathoning it. x.x; I'm taking a break. Urrr. I was hearing Dan Green in my sleep. Of course, it's not much better waking up and thinking you're the pilot of some giant mecha. Or is it? I DON'T KNOW.
Someday I'll finish up, but considering how slow LK is I don't think I need to rush. xD

So yeah. Hopefully once we get my computer up and running again (-sniffle-) I can FINALLY update my account here >>. In the meantime I'm going to try to keep on top of my work and update here a little more frequently.
I was going to steal Slush's quiz but this journal was already way long xD.

Love and cheese,
Kitteh

(PS: Year One is hilarious. Go watch it <3.

PSS: Halloween is only a month away~ Yey <33)

Sorry about that guys! I guess I'm on hiatus? It's just that school started back (likeamonthagobutwhatever) and then my mouse is on the fritz, so even if I had time to be nice and creative I couldn't upload anything because I can't do photoshop.
;__; Suck muffins.
So, you ask, why not write?
Because I honestly have nothing worth showing there either . It's just that I keep having to hop from series to series and I feel sort of guilty neglecting one or the other, so... I dunno, I linger long enough to add like a paragraph to something and then I'm on to something else :/. And that's only when school isn't roaring down my throat and demanding ESSAYS and SCIENCE.

I'm starting to wonder why I joined those extra two clubs, why I'm still in two, and why my deviant art status insists that I need a subscription. x.x; Thankfully I have all my club teachers as, well, regular teachers, so I should be able to keep up. And it gets me out of the house, right?
And honestly, the homework load isn't that bad. I'm just a slacker and it piles up ;D.
[/excuses excuses]

Nothing much has actually changed. Still have both arms, legs and kidneys. Still avoiding the car. Still slacking. ;D Still occasionally talking to myself in a cockney accent for funsies. It's actually a hard habit to break now that I've started the Discworld novels. ;_; So very British. I read Good Omens and decided to try the Terry Pratchett stuff as well, since TvTropes likes them. It's nice to see a slightly analytical approach to the whole magic thing, too :].

I've been spending most of my free time watching The Nostalgia Critic and reading EVERY ARTICLE TvTropes has to offer. ^^ That's when I'm not on Gaia or Tektek or some other site that very clearly isn't DA, but I mean, come on. If I'm not going to upload I feel like I'm not being productive and it makes me feel all guilty just coming here ><.

Right now I'm on an extended Yu-Gi-Oh! binge. See, I stopped watching the animated series when I was a kid (like normal people >>, but I stopped way before most of the third season. So every time I watch LittleKuriboh videos or try to go ANYWHERE on the internet and look at the series I've come against spoiler after spoiler. D< Well it ends now! For the last two months I've been rewatching the series episode by episode, reading online episode comparissons, watching the Japanese version, you know the drill. I even bought the first issue of the original manga. I'm all the way to episode 153 at the moment and I'm very proud of myself. Why all the trouble just so the internet can't spoil a decade-old show? Because I sort of want to see the ending anyways and I've made it this far, so why not? :] So that's something. After I finish all the way through the last episode, I'm thinking of watching something else, probably another anime. Anyone have any suggestions? I should probably get around to the classics eventually but after this I'd rather just watch something fun >>;. IE, something that isn't a philosophical blockbuster, like Ghost in the Shell. Not that Yu-Gi-Oh! is. >>; I'm not that slow.

I feel really guilty updating here without posting something, but I honestly have nothing to post so... xD; Just letting you guys know why I haven't been updating and to let you know the stalling's going to continue. Until things let up a bit here or I get a better mouse, I'm afraid I'll be on hiatus.
Oh, and I named the new laptop. :] He is 'Farrago' now. It means 'hodgepodge'
I decided he would be male since my landline is a girl.
I think.
I'm afraid to check >>;.
He's made good friends with Benjy the scarf and I love him so <3.

KITTY AWAY!

PS: Episode 42 of the Abridged Series is out, in case you haven't seen. It was amazing. GO WATCH IT THIS SECOND I MEAN RIGHT NOW. The H2G2 reference made me so happy ;W;

After several tough decisions and ties, the final two winners from these were chosen.

In first place, with her entry Contest Entry No. 2
In second place, with her entry Contest Entry

With honorable mention are and . Congrats!

Good job to everyone who entered. There were no easy desicions, and everyone who entered did a wonderful job. Remember, the contest was about how much creativity was used with the spraycan tool. Otherwise, there could have been several different outcomes.

Prizes

For the first place winner- Drawing of her choice, colored or not colored, with a maximum of three characters and minimal background.

For the second place winner- Drawing of her choice, black and white, minimal background and limit of two characters.

Rules:
1) No nudes or provocative scenes, blah blah blah.
2) Drawings will be finished by February at the latest.
3) I will do spraycan drawings, but only simple ones
4) If you want a drawing of a character from a show I'm not familiar with (IE Naruto, Bleach, etc.) try to provide a reference picture or description. The same goes for OCs.
5) If either of the contestants would not prefer a drawing, I will write up to one hundred characters in a custome font either of their choosing or one of my own, or create a bookmark for them of the same basic guidelines. Samples of both fonts and bookmarks available.

----

Sorry the judging took so long. Everyone was so busy with the holidays, y'know?

^^ I was going to mention earlier, but I've decided to make my own fonts, too. It's kind of tedious, but it's rewarding. I've made two, Ax Handle and Wind, and I had a lot of fun.

D: Not much else to say. I'm starting to use the excersize bike, I go back to school next week, and I'm absolutely screwed for Forensics because I haven't practiced my piece since November. Oh, and I haven't been drawing anything. I'm very lazy. But I swear I will.

xDD Btw... Camio? I'm really sorry I still haven't finished your last contest drawing, for the Dam Mystery thing ;-;. I'm working on it, I swear. Which one do you like better, Tobi or Deidara?

You can draw any kind of picture you'd like- Christmas theme, getting caught in the rain, black and white, color, large or small, the choice is yours. The catch? You can only use Microsoft Paint's airbrush tool.
(The airbrush tool is the blue spraycan icon four down in the left set of icons, by the way)

Rules:

1) You cannot use ANY OTHER SYSTEMS. This includes photoshop, tablets, Corel, or oekakis. If you are found to have used one of these you will be disqualified.
2) You may use some other GP tools like the pencil to sketch, but the end product should show as little of this as possible.

Okay. So. I couldn't fit another comment on the end of the last part, so everything that would normally be considered 'Author's Comments' will be found here.

AUTHOR'S COMMENTS

OMG. Well, here you are at last! The conclusion of TDM- The Murder on the Zuiderdam! It's been a long time coming, but hopefully you found it was worth the wait x3.

THE PICTURE: Features every detective in the three parts, and all the suspects, the murder victim, and the killer. I did the lineart and Kia colored/shaded it. <33 Props to her! She did a great job. (BTW, I only altered a few things from her version x3.) I'm very proud of this piece as opposed to those blasted comics- All the expressions came out really well, even Horatio. Oh, and as for those squiddy-looking things where your legs should be... Those are Squid-parts. ;-; I lacked the patience for legs. I want to collab with Kia again... I love how it turns out <33.

THE STORY: Haha, technically, every last one of you blokes lost. No one guessed it! I win! Yes, it was Slush, who always has this strange murderous streak in her in my comics O-o. I hope her explination is fairly clear . She killed Kia in a fit of rage, and everything after that was done to cover it up. Yes, she went crazy after having to murder who she thought was her best friend. Why else would she hurt her poor Tiger? Oh, and as for bringing in Sherlock Holmes... Come on, who else would wrap everything up xD? I had to use at least ONE detective everyone was familiar with... But I really wanted to use L >>... Oh, and sorry for the lack of humor. I really just wanted to be done with it.

So who voted for who? See for yourself x3.

2. Kitty
3. Tiger

BOOF:

Since no one guessed Slush and it was fairly difficult, I'm giving credit to everyone who's first guess was Tiger . So 'grats to Meg and Camio! You guys won (Sorta) ^^! Thanks to everyone for participating and for your nice words about the comics. I hope everyone at least had fun, and trust me, it's okay if you didn't win ^^. I'm afraid if Tiger was on your list of guesses but not #1, you don't win anything ;-;.

Not even Slush knew she was the killer xDD.

xD I'll post the rules for drawing requests by the winners in my next journal, so if you won, please stay tuned.

CAST LIST:

Detectives (In order from the picture, right-left):
Sherlock Holmes, Agent Moldy, Detective Eames, Detective Goren, Horatio Cane. Inspector Zenigata, Agent Sculler did not appear.

Suspects, Murderer, and Victim (In order from the picture, right-left):
http://RabidKittyLizard.deviantart.com/journal/13989229/ Thu, 02 Aug 2007 16:17:31 PDT The original rules and whatall: [link]

So, the comic is up. Rejoice. -.-; It put me through hell. I'm not drawing a comic for Act Three after all the pain I went through for Act Two. Instead, I'm doing another group photo in which the killer is made obvious, followed by a short bit of dialog. And even then, I may just ask Kia to draw the picture xD. She already knows who did it., along with my mom and Suki.

Now that we've got some evidence to go with motive, it's time to vote. Send me a note after reviewing the evidence, and name the top three people you think could've done it. You don't have to put why, but I enjoy reading that part so feel free to comment like crazy. xD It's fun to see where in the pictures I messed up. Ah, well, all I'm doing here is presenting the evidence that should be fairly obvious, and that would hold up in any American court of law.

1. Boof- Just a few hours before her death, Kia won a bet against Boof, forcing her to down a hundred cups of coffee. Being a good sport, Boof counted her losses and drank the coffee. But the good sportsmenship might've been compromised by all the caffein. Coffee, in the same brand as Boof's, was found near the body. Solid evidence that will hold up in court.
2. Camio- Unlike Boof, Camio has been aware of herself and actions the entire trip. In fact, the whole trip is a plot to ruin long-time friend Tricorn's standing friendship with Kia. The two, while good friends and nearly identical, are constantly fighting. During an out-and-out, a detective hears one of them shout what ammounts to a confession... But which one?
3. Chey- While everyone has a motive, Chey's is certainly the strongest. Her worst enemy and 80 of her best friends are trapped on a ship with her for four weeks. The physical evidence to consider in this case is a dirty wipe, with dark-red and sooty stains on it. There's no way to test for DNA on the ship, but there might be a case even without that based on circumstance.
4. Kitty- Still a bit hungover, Kitty was in a more mild state of disorientation when the murder occured, but unlike Boof she claimed she had self control (to some degree). When a gun is found, registered in her name, it raises many questions. She seems harmless enough, but only time will tell.
5. Meg- Even more seemingly harmless than Kitty, Meg has neither visable motive nor stronge evidence against her. But she's been reported by fellow cruise mates to be acting strangley. In the days following the murder, she has been overly cautious and seems 'Distracted'. You never know when evidence might come up.
6. Ryan- He seems to be the only close friend Kia has, but recently their friendship faced a rough point. In his order of events, he puts himself in the Lounge before the murder, but there is no way to prove this without Boof's testimony. Not to mention the hat found at the scene. His whole story is unclear.
7. Slush- Now quiet and withdrawn, seemingly not herself at all, she was vibrant and joyfull the night of the murder. She even opened the door for Kia once. Now, she's sporting a rather strange bandage on her head, and she seems haunted by something. No evidence has come up against her as of yet, but as with Meg, the detectives are not ready to set her free.
8. Tiger- Like Slush, she is also acting abnormally. But unlike her once-friend, Tiger's attitude seems to have gone from calm to insane, with an attempt to supposedly bash a detectives head in. Violent and dangerous, she is now loose on the ship. However, even minutes before, Meg, who was also being interviewed with her new friend, said Tiger was acting normally. This one attempt is particularily damning, but it does not add up to murder so simply. Did the detective provoke her? There is no other evidence against her at this time.
9. Tricorn- Under the same circumstance as Camio. However, her motive for murder is very different. She would only have killed Kia if there was a direct threat to their friendship, or might have perhaps gotten off a shot if an arguement got crazy. No solid evidence has been found, but she may have confessed.

Just send me a note whenever your ready. Deadline is August 10th, Vote quickly!

Remember: Whoever guesses correctly (And is NOT named Libby, Kia, or Suki :K) wins a free drawing. Colored, shaded, and everything.

^^ In unrelated news, Suki came to visit today. We played with the puppy, played Pokemon Puzzle Master (She replaced every other word in the character speaches with Penis xDD We laughed so hard), and she gave me a make over. One side of my face was stereotypical 'Emo', the other was stereotypical Prep'. I forgot to wash it off, and later a Jehovah's witness came by. xD I scared the crap out of him. He kept touching his face and stuff.

So I don't have time to get to everyone's messages right away. has just put up some more of her adorable drawings that I really ought to comment on, too (That was a subtle hint for you to go look, by the way x3) x.x Anyways, to all of your comments, I will eventually reply. Because I'll go crazy if I don't !

I'm also backed up with art for you wonderful people. There's Ryan's Kiriban (Which has gone down from two drawings to one comic x3), the TDM comic... Just a lot of things I need time to draw ^^. So...
Until July 16, trades, requests, etc. are CLOSED.
Sorry u.u Kitty is too busy for it. Also, I have camp... Sorta xD.

In order to keep you guys occupied while I finish all this stuff up, I've got another contest for you ;3.

Kitty Fursona Contest Rules!

I'm hosting a contest to decide what fursona I should use, as I don't have one yet. Whoever designs the best fursona for me will win a free drawing of either their own fursona, or, something of their choice. The rules are very simple:

1) The picture must be a design for my fursona. You can't draw your own or someone else's.
2) The RabidKittyLizard Fursona design has to be an animal, insect, or non-human, living organism of some kind. Amoebas and cell-structures, human portraits, and inanimate objects don't count.
3) The picture doesn't have to be colored; however, coloring the contest entry will probably help you if you want to win.
4) Contest ends June 22, so get to it! That's when all entries will be closed and no more will be taken. June 23, the day before I leave, I will announced a First, Second, and Third place winner if so many entries are sent in.
5) If you place second or third, you can't request a drawing. But I will put your names and drawings in my journal.
6) If you win First Place, drawing requests must have this information:
Color/Black and White (Whichever you prefer)
Subject (I draw humans and animals best. Please don't ask for an object ;-; )
Background (Keep it simple)
PLEASE give details if the subject is human or animal. I need species, specific hair and tail styles, etc. And if you have a reference picture, I'll love you forever <3.
7) DO NOT ASK for Nude pictures/drawings, extreme violence and gore, complex machinery, any sort of detailed anatomically correct insect or dragon, or sex.

And remember, kiddies: I like the colors Green, Silver, Purple, and Blue. I hate the colors Pink and Black. ;3 One more tip: I'd really like to be some kind of uncommon, unique creature x3. Not just a cat. Cats are cute, but very cliche.

Yaay ^^!

And no, this doesn't mean I've given up on The Dam Mystery. I'm still working on it. I shouldn't need help getting Acts One and Two up before I leave, so while I'm away, you guys should be able to vote. Act One is going great! ^^ I just thought it would be nice to run another contest in the mean time.

In case you were wondering, Boof's had the best line so far x3. I'm so glad we put her on all that caffein!

It deals more with basic plot and rules. This journal covers plot development and current characters. If you're just joining in, please go there first. Thanks.

THE COMIC IS DONE!!!! You can go look at ACT ONE here: [link]

I decided to make a set of journals following the progress of the comic, because of comments (Hey, I appreciate them, but we would have too many pages to read) and simply space. No one's reading a page that makes your scroll bar dissapear, right ;3?

This journal will track Act One, and the clues and factual matter of the crime, along with Motive. The first journal will be updated to show the basic plot and rules only. Just trying to make that super clear for you guys ^^.

****Characters****

1. Kia- Party Host and, unfortunately, murder victim. She has no motive to kill herself, as police trajectory tests show that would have been completely impossible.
2. Kitty (Me)- VIP guest. Possible motive- The money. Kia stumbled into a HUGE fortune, enabling the cruise and transport for everyone (Airfair, bus, etc). Wtih that kind of money, Kitty could easily fix her parents marital problems and her own. Kitty is also good friends with Jeff, an army man with a gun collection. Will caliber tests show she's the killer?
3. Slush- VIP guest (Delux Suit). Possible Motive- Kia and Slush have been friends for ages. But in so long, Kia's picked up some rather unpleasant dirt on Slush, things that could get her sent off to a mental institution or even jail. With the money she's come across, Kia's also run into debt (Something I know nothing about). She's turned to bribing Slush in secret- Could Slush, cornered and extorted, turn to murder?
4. Boof- VIP guest (Delux Suit). Possible Motive- For the last three days, Boof has been in Kia's debt. Kia bet Boof that she could get Ryan's prized cupcake from right under his nose. She came up to him shortly before Cruise Signin started (Four days earlier), and somehow wrestled it from him. Boof, having lost, had to drink one hundred cups of bitter, unsweetened coffee (From one of the Super-Chugs you can buy from Bi-Lo). Boof, tottering on the razor edge of complete psychosis, is in the process of finishing her last cup shortly after they set sail. Did Boof, in a crazy hour of DT, kill Kia?
5. Ryan- VIP guest. Possible Motive- Kia has humiliated Ryan by
stealing his precious dairy product- His Favorite Cupcake. He worked hours and hours to make it, slaving over it as a tribute to his culunary skills. The cupcake was his to eat and gloat over, with the tastiest frosting and moist center... Until Kia, in a slight of hand, not only took his cupcake but ATE IT! Ryan was devastaed.... Something the Kia Fanboys, eager to elimanate competition and always looking for a man's weakness, jumped on him in his moment of grief. His vacation, before it even began, was turned into a floating nightmare of gay/sissy jokes and taunts. Would Ryan kill Kia in vengance?
6. Tricorn- Guest. Tri is nothing but a shadow to Kia. She is seen only as another desprate fan who wants to climb to the top. Tri, trying everything she can to get Kia's attention, is also growing more and more jealous. Why does Kia get all the fans? Why shouldn't she, Tricorn, be so well loved? Did Tricorn kill Kia out of jealousy?
7. Meagan- Guest. Like the rest of Kia's entourage, Meg and Kia were good friends. But, unknown to Kia, Cethix broke loose one night and hunted down Kia's beloved wifey. He demolished the PS3 Meg spent hundreds of other people's hard earned money buying. But when Meg tried to point it out to Kia, she wouldn't listen. Now Meg has to explain the damage to her parents, who refuse to believe a neopet detroyed her expensive toy. Could Meg also be after the money?
8. Chey- Unrelated passanger. Possible Motive- Everyone associated with Kia knows she stole Kia's art. A good number of these fans has joined in flaming and harrassing her. She fought back at first, but after so long, she just wants a vacation away from Kia, with her club, ART IZ GUD, owned and opperated only by her siblings and herself. But when Kia and her party guests show up, Chey is already in for a horrible time, despite apologizing. Could the spite and anger, the pressure and nervousness, be enough to drive her to murder?
9. Tiger/Kat- Guest. Possible Motive- Once a good friend of Kia, or so she thought. But on the day of the cruise, Kia mercilessly ripped up Kat's ticket and laughed, walking away with a group of brain-dead fangirls/boys. Kat was crushed by this, felt betrayed and enraged. What was Kia thinking?! Tiger managed to tape the ticket back together and get on, but has she really forgiven Kia? Or could this be a mo... ]]> ~RabidKittyLizard http://RabidKittyLizard.deviantart.com/journal/12857677/ http://RabidKittyLizard.deviantart.com/journal/12857677/ Sat, 05 May 2007 22:13:09 PDT
Slush/Kia: 47% (Whining Emo-Like For Dad to Fix Scanner phase- AKA Sketching)

Projects:

Comic: 0% (Character Processing stage)
On and On: 10% (Rough sketch for Track 03 done)
La Momia Desaparece novel: 89% (Loving the fact that I'm Three Sketches Away From Never Drawing This Crap Again phase)

You read right. I'm doing a third comic in paint, based on Kia and us other art nerds. But this one's got a new title and a spiffy new plot.

Rabidly Delicious Comics: The Dam Mystery

(Abbreviated to TDM in journals for conveniance)

Oh that's hot.

It's a three part, interactive comic. The plot in Act One (The first page of the comic) has Kia stumbling onto enough fortune to put all of her buddies and groupies on a cruise liner from HAL known as the Zuiderdam. Specific details (How many people and what deck we're all on, trajectory, etc.) are given in the first comic ([link]), along with character detail. As we party in our private lounge, Kia breaks off after finding she's lost her room key. She goes back to the reception desk while we keep partying. Not much later, Kia screams in horror and pain, and everyone is on their feet to go look. We go back and find her murdered in the Reception Area, and the only question on everyone's mind is, of course, who is the killer? As I found out later in casting, this will be the longest Act. It will be a combination of two, lengthy stripes put together and posted at the same time. Act Two may end up being just as long or even longer, though.

The Second Act ([link]) takes place several days later while the ship is still out at sea, and won't be posted long after the first Act for conveniance (*In retrospect, it's going to take a lot longer than I though xD;; *). It would be more costly to pull over than to keep going, and the murder has been covered up nicely by on-board officials and a few detectives that had been on the ship relaxing. This Act shows the famous detectives interviewing all the'Suspect', or each of us, in turn, on our motives, alibies, and physical/forensic evidence found at the scene, based on this journal ([link]). It also lists the possible motive, in case you missed it in the First Act. After Act Two is put up, there will be a chance for you to vote on who you think the murderer is (Yes, it will be one of the suspects, not Kia or an unrelated party). If you guess correctly, I'll draw you a free picture of your choice. Specific rules and details about voting will be listed in the Act Two journal.

The Third and Final Act is the shocking conclusion, which takes place just before the port of Spain, and consists of a single shocking pannel and a short summary of how it all ends up. The killers is carted away and, after a few days, Winners can request their prize art in a journal detailing the request rules.

***Disclaimer: My knowledge of the Zuiderdam cruise liner comes strictly from a first hand experience and a pamphlet documenting the layout and meals served in the Bistro, circa 2003. Any changes the Zuiderdam has undergone since then I hope you'll overlook in leu of conveniance. And, to my knowledge, the Zui doesn't go around the world. Just the Carribean.*****

A few rules:

1) Zuiderdam (c) Holland American Lines. So everything Dam is theirs. Except maybe the police-guys. And us.
2) You can't claim to be the killer -.- That's for me to decide.
3) Once you agree to a character design and motive, posted in the Act One Journal, THERE WILL NOT BE ANY SUDDEN CHANGES. >> It's hard enough to do already, so don't agree to your character unless you're sure.
4) I can't tell you how it ends. That includes whether or not Kia is really dead or not. SO STFU.
5) If you win, don't automatically request a picture. Rules on requests will be posted after I finish the third act. Because there are some places (Nudes, super complex quad, etc.) I'm just not going to do.

If you'd like to be a character in this plot, here are a few things I'll need to put you in:

1) A physical description. Please include eye color, hair color, any animal ears and tail (Cat ears, doggy ears, etc.), and if you have a reference picture of yourself, that would be a ton of help. And don't tell me 'LAWL IM STACKED AND I WANNA WEAR A STRING BIKINI PLZ'. It's not gonna happen -.-
2) Your name. Just whatever you wanna be called.
3) This is optional- If you aren't a long standing Kia-hater, you can give me your motive for killing her. IE she tripped you, called your mom a hoe, made Xylorn rip your arm off, whatever. Go crazy. Just run it... ]]> ~RabidKittyLizard
