And no, I have not been playing WoW.. if I had been, I wouldn't be posting this, I'd be lvling my mains.

AHEM

I present to you "WoW" by Futuristic Sex Robotz (best song ever!!!)

[CHORUS]
Recycle Bin: Once upon a time in the land of Azeroth
Subrandom: Dave Chappelle fought David Hasselhoff
Recycle Bin: We started out life in the Valley of Trials
Subrandom: Now we stack gold in big ass piles
Recycle Bin: Lookin through the books on top of the shelves
Subrandom: Learning spells, gonna plow some naked Elves
Recycle Bin: Chillin in Thunder Bluff or Iron Forge
Subrandom: We're engineers at the level of Geordi La Forge

[PC Speaker:]
Got home from work and I had some time
so I opened up WoW and I got online
Logged into my Shaman up on Daggerspine
when this maxed out motherfucker tried to take what's mine
He said "I spent a thousand hours and I failed out of school
and to justify it, I challenge you to a duel"
I said thats okay, I know you'd beat me
look at me I'm not even at level 20
I've got one of those things that they call a job
and so I can't spend all day, runnin a mob
Motherfucker kept pushin, wouldn't leave me alone
I said "Fine bitch, pretend to be Sylvester Stallone"
After he won he started talkin hella shit
and I thought to myself, "Is this fool legit?"
I called Recycle Bin and Subrandom to the place
and they found the little bitch and regulated on his face
See, we don't take no shit from internet teenagers
pretending to to be straight gangster ass bangers
Step out of cyberspace and come over to my place
I got a level 60 bullet for your motherfuckin face

[Repeat CHORUS]

[Subrandom:]
Remember back when 10 fuckin levels was hard?
Now it's ten 60s gankin noobs in the yard
Fat stacks of gear for Blackwing Lair
10k armor when I shift into bear
We got all these farmers rollin on gear
now we quick to boot em the fuck out of here
Murlocks be screamin when we show up
Volatile Rum's what's fillin up my cup
Today we catch no hastle in Stratholm
droppin bosses harder than John Holmes
Updated weekly, this shit is great
can't say no more cause the game don't wait

[Repeat CHORUS]

[Recycle Bin:]
Started out my life killing them boars
now I spend my days rapin Night Elf whores
Catch you in the valley, and get me some head
I swear that we're fighting an army of speds
Don't even get me started on you fuckin gold farmers
you gotta make a living, but I need that armor
One day I met this dude yellin "Yar motherfucker"
tankin up mobs like a angry drunk trucker
Introduced me to the ill Druid squad, yo
never run with em, but I'll give a Priest a nod, ho
You can melt faces but I'm smashin em in
Windfury on my tuf so you fear Recycle Bin
Watch out, comin soon to an ass near you
a non-stop beating that's long overdue

[Repeat CHORUS]



.... yeah. I'll catch up here later.. omg.. I so wanna play wow.. ><;;;

I promise I'll actually finish the projects I'm working on currently instead of being my typical lethargic and unable to spell being.

With a mentioning of school. One comment, only one. Whoever invented Saturday labs that start at 8am and go until dinner is my eternal enemy. Even if they rock as a person.

I bought a blue, glow-in the dark rubber duck today! I also bought a retarded looking green one, and a satan one. Now my yellow one has friends! (I'm normal, I swear!) I love rubber ducks. they rock.

Since there is now nudity on this account I'm using this as a warning and notice. It is not pr0n, it is art. Art that I'm actually quite proud of. However, if you are not of mature age (I don't know about legal age) and want to scream "Boobies" that is disrespectful to the beautiful stock model I used.


~Friends/MutualWatchers~


~Stock that Rocks~


I also would like to eventually add a list of artists whose work is "creepy", "frightening", "weird", "horror", "dark", and et cetera. If you, or one of your buddies has stuff that could fall under those conditions send me a note with a link to their page and/or gallery so I can check em out! If I like it and it works I'll give a mention up here. I realize that I don't exactly have the largest pool of people, but every little bit counts, right?

Some interesting points about the pen I use is that its an older model (Pilot G-2 07) that is known for drying slower than desired. Which is problematic if your writing quickly as it causes ink dots on the page before it if your in a book, or smearing (particularly if your left handed). Ironically, I'm left handed.
If you arent' familiar with all the silly pen stuff, its an archival quality pen thats easy to find practically anywhere and is reasonably priced. Its only flaw that gets on my nerves is that it doesn't write well on hard surfaces, so if you have a single piece of paper you want to draw on, it needs to be on top of something else.


Current Projects:
1) Twi Lek: A Study - This should be up by the end of the day. I finished it last night but I feel like I've been imposing on ~RachiruJaganshi by constantly asking if she can scan something for me. Not sure if I should put it in scraps or not since it turned out pretty good. I traced the picture in ink out of my SWRP book and watercolored it to get a better idea of how the watercolor interacts with the pen after nearly a day at varying amount of water ratios, ect. Minimal attention was given to neatness, color, or shading.
2) Clostet Apocalypse - Outline's been done for well over a day, but I don't want any ink bleeding and wanted to do a study before coloring it (which I did). However, I'm not sure which way it should go. I drew it portrait like Drone, but when I rotated it 90 degrees CW it looked really good (maby better). I don't know which way works better, so I'm going to beg for feedback on it.
3) Photo Manipulation, wtf? - As of late I've been having fun practicing any photo minpulation skills I may have with varied stock throughout dA. I might eventually get somewhere with it, who knows really.


Got Tagged!
Got Tagged By: HollowWsaRay
Normally this isn't my cup of tea, but hey, why the hell not?

Rules:
The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours.

Six Weird Habits/Things/Hates About Myself:
1) I chew my nails when I'm thinking.
2) I check my door twice before going to sleep or leaving my room to make sure its really locked.
3)I learn concepts better if I'm laying/sitting on: the floor or on a counter/table.
4) My ligaments are so loose that have no way of actually stretching my quads unless I could pull my leg through my body (natural contortionist). This is both a gift and a curse though.
5)Horrible at motivating myself to start and finish things if its supposed to be considered work - even if I like it.
6) I can't remember peoples names or learn new vocabulary well at all.

Next Six People:
1)~Anaphotos
2)~Zethica
3)*twistedkitsune
4)~jaroflard
5)~PixelatedHorror
6)~RachiruJaganshi

If everything above makes little sense and is misspelled I apologize (not really). I haven't sleep much this week (which explains the wry behavior).

My room is really cold right now.. even though the heat is up all the way. The heater in the building mustn't be on. To hell with all the incorrigable chronic delinquents who metasticise their notorious ways, and vanquish all valients veraciously. Wow.. I can sound like I have a vocabulary /and/ V if I try.. crap. Now I can't convince myself that I fail when attempting essays.

In other more art related news: Yay watercolor. Its fun. Apparently, much to my dismay, a vast majority of my dorm mates have art classes this semester: particularly the ones I wanted to take but couldn't since they were "full". The charcoal in the rooms must truely pheer my leet skillz. Life brings cruel irony.

However, its not my style to have people become my scanning slave, so I'm not going to be having a ton of stuff show up at once (especially since I should be studying or doing homework right now). However, I will put up my poetry and stuff up here I guess. But slowly.. I won't be doing that super quickly either.

I really liked doing "Prhissston Birdcage" though, so I think more of that kinda stuff is going to be showing up (if people like it... wow, I'm pathetic XP, gyah, it will show up either way really).

I really like constructive criticism btw, so if you want to offer advice or just tell me it sucks because of -----, then please do! I know I like tearing people's stuff apart (if you don't want me to, tell me! ), so if you do too don't hesitate!

Thought of the Day: Squares are funner than Calculus!

B. Too lazy to finish the ones that I should.
C. I don't get graded on it.
D. I currently have no way to post anything I have to DA.

I do have a few things I would like to put up at some point however.. so that will probably happen eventually. And I'm not much for poetry but if I feel desperate I might put some of that up too (lol).

I don't feel like I should put up poetry though. Even though I know I'm good at tearing apart other people's, I don't do that with my own. And, unless motivated to read said poetry I will otherwise avoid it intently.

Anybody interested in a horrid excuse for prose?

On a completely unrelated note: fun dip rocks.

One is a drawing in my sketchbook that I want to get a reference for the hands and feet, as well as to some small studies on one of her hads so I stop ruining the paper its supposed to be on.
Estimated Percent Until Completion: 10%

The second is me altering a photo I took years ago in photoshop that I think I could get to turn out interesting with a little work, so I've been slowly editing it between the anime and other 2 in my spare time as it isn't a priority but a project for fun.
Estimated Percent until Completion: 35%

The third one is the one I'm looking foreward to the most as its more or less practically all computer based save for photos and images as reference. As I don't have one of those nifty drawing/whateveryoucallthem pads, its all by mouse and photoshop. So far I personally think it looks kickass (but doesn't every noob about something they haven't done before?). However I've barely gotten started on it at it will take a while to get it finished. It most likely won't be done before I return to school (where all life ends). So, to put it simply, unless I redo that chess board one its going to be a while until my next post.
Estimated Percent Until Completion: 85%-95% or more.. depending on what I do for the background and how everything turns out.

Since art has nothing to do with any of my classes at university its what takes up my nearly nonexistant free time. I major and minor in the exact opposite of art: Biochemistry(major), computer science(minor), and mathematics(minor). As I'm trying for medicine I don't have a ton of time because I am a lazy sloth and enjoy wasting every moment of my life *instert insane evil laughter here*.
Estimated Time Until I return to School: 3

All the anime I've been downloading for entertainment at school is invading my hardrive so I have been forced to put it all onto discs to make room for more (last minute packing I swear). Which is taking up the time I have somehow spent when I'm at home (going outside omg wtf?!?).
Estimated Time For Me To Put All my Anime on Disks: Literally a few days....

However, I've gotten next to no chance to experiment or create art in a "nonprofessional" manner. What is posted here is to be 95% experimental for /me/. Serious works of mine with references to composition, colour theory, contrast, shape, ect. will not be posted here at this moment. Nor will anything I have had in an art show unless I feel extremely compelled to do so.

If you like something please let me know, as everyone enjoys feedback as much as the next person. Even if you don't like it, have advice, don't care, hate it, ect. I'm up for constructive criticism on everything but my spelling: which I refuse to rectify.

I'll update this more later...
