1984 review some other time. Just ain't got the heart to do it right now =\

This week's been... annoying; tests galore, homework + revision pressure, hospital visits, and heard that an old friend of mine visited from overseas. But never got any call from her. And then she left. :s

It's painful to slowly lose friends like that. Especially if you've known them for a long time :s

But something a bit different; look at the critter below I found at school last week!

If you can't see, then just squint hard.

As my last year English teacher always said~

Also!

I'm drawing a special sort of picture project in my freetime! :D

It's for a good friend of mine, but anyone can see it.~

Sneak peek(?) below:

Plan to finish it by this weekend. It's gonna get many different parts. c:

Now, off to take on a mission.

Toodles~

DEAR DIARRHOEA:

Massages are THE shiznit, and you know it.

Don't deny it :D

Welllll, for starters, I've been thinking about publishing a book of some sort that's gonna feature both writing and illustrations by me.

Being 15 now, I feel as though I should get some money/do something useful in turn =\

Getting an early income would be great, if its possible.

I'm sick of the fact that my parents don't give us proper allowances to us, even at this age now :[ It just doesn't seem that right. They keep forgetting. (Terrible trait.)

What type of book to make, I don't know. :s

Bit doubtful over comic (too lengthy to do, even with colour).

A mini story compilation, I've been thinking of...

...as well as something for astrology (since I designed charas for each sign + find it pretty... interesting? :p Problem: skeptics out there).

Maybe a help book?

Dunno yet.

Something that the public is gonna like and want to buy.~

Also!

Dinnertime out in town was rather uncomfortable. :s

This waiter was just standing near this counter on the other side of the room staring at the patrons nearby, and he fiddled about like some bored 5 year-old, twiddling this thumbs and swaying around like he can't control the ants in his pants or something.

Seriously? Wtf?

Shouldn't he be doing something useful?

How can you eat when somebody just stares at you for the whole meal long?

ESPECIALLY if its a waiter/stranger?

Doesn't mummy ever say how staring like that is rude????

What happened to good morals?!

Go watch a little MTV. It'll tell you EXACTLY what I mean.

I ended up having only half a pizza slice and half my drink from being so disturbed ¬¬;

Oh! And that new movie 'Rio' was a stunner!

Those birds were simply deliciously adorable and the cololololours of them all seemed so... yummy.

:'D

And it was a nice idea to have it set in South America. (What other animated movies do you know that have been set there? Exactly my point.)

I don't think movies with smugglers, tropical birds and a country like Brazil will ever be put together again.

Also, waiting for 'Hop' to be released here sometime soon~

Next post: book review on '1984' by G. Orwell!

Not done reading it yet, but really good so far.

As well as really sorrowful T.T

It's very grey, the story. But imaginatively written. Love it.

If any of you are still up reading this,

I thank ya.

Sorry for writing more than usual and I appreciate your patience to read everything(?) here. :D

I'll try cut it down next time.

Byebye, my fickle little fiddlesticks!!! :D:D:D

Supercalifragilisticexpialidociousness c:

O Lawdy!

This pic is a bit over a year old now :p

Back from the time we studied Macbeth.

Call me a literature dork if you will, BUT I happen to find that play rather... interesting. c:

Gaaaaaawd, gotta do a newer version of something like this. The style's changed quite a bit since.

To many they might call it awesome,

To me I (now) find it... blegh :s

And now for something completely different, kiddies:

Mary Poppins was an epic classic.

That movie could kick the butt off any new movie you'd see today, that's for absolute certain :p

As would Monty Python's 'Quest for the Holy Grail'.

'cause you don't see screwed-up credits, a talking cartoon God or paraplegic knights anywhere else, that's for sure! :'D

Click here to see those 'credits' for the movie!

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'm thinking of building a website to post more stuff, but not as cluttered-up as here.

Like a page for drawings, another for tributes (I love giving to people!) and perhaps other stuff you won't find here.

I'll consider something.

MEANWHILE:

was GOING to prank brother with fake s**t for April Fools' yesterday.

No, really!

We had a can that was called something like 'Can of Smelly S**t' that my dad kept when he used to prank his own colleagues (LOL!)

It was like, SUPREMELY pungent/rank/stinky/gross/foul-smelling. And its got a texture like whipped cream, but brown and really 'UGH!' in texture. SRSLY

I found the can and it turned out to be empty :\

(Not a prank, apparently my dad said it ran out a while ago =A=; )

Bummer. Such a good idea, too.

Still can't stop playing 'Ai no Odyssey' (by Puffy AmiYumi)!

It's like a big hunky bowl of Maggi noodle soup.

I... can't stop having it.

School on Monday. ghsjadgjhagfhjgafhgdfahgdgasfasassdff

Best be going to take a mini break :p

Take care, you little wondrous scamps :3

Snappy and snazzy shiznit stuff

I've been hassling her for this CD online for the past few weeks.

She's been ignoring my reminders and keeps putting it off till later, just because "she forgot".

GAWD!

It's annoying! It was supposed to be a birthday present, but now its almost April and I'm beginning to lost my trust in her. She doesn't seem serious at all in buying it :\

So I decided to download it out of loss of patience with her. ¬¬;

I hate downloading stuff.

You just get a sense of guilt form it somehow.

(But I bet some of you don't, amirite?)

AAAAAANYWAY!

The holidays are so good so far.

'Hop' looks splendidly splendid (and not to mention gosh-darn CUTE!) and hopefully gonna watch it sometime this weekend.~

Plus I seem to've been hooked into Chibi Maruko-Chan... really cool anime, gotta admit.

It's plain, simple, and pretty amusing. A slice-of-life story, a bit like the Simpsons somehow, but set in 1970's Japan (I believe? From the way the places look) and for kids.

I like how its not all as 'teeny' as most other anime. Seeing 9 year-olds is a nice change.

But some things even a teen will understand... yes, there are some rather 'funny' occurrences, like seeing a character smoke or get drunk (Maruko's dad always does this!) :'D

GAWD! And her classmates/friends are awesome!

I mean, really. Tamae reminds me of my bff. Hanawa/Maruo/Hamaji remind me of other kids I knew, too. o:

Brings back memories D:

Aaaaaahhh.

Hate to say it, but the album right now is so cool so far.

In case you wondered, it's 'Thank You!' released by Puffy earlier this month.

And the thing my mommah kept 'forgetting' to get ==;

The songs are like, sweet and sour; rock here, swishy pop there, with some Andy Sturmer and '80s influence put in (amongst other goodie-goodies!)

Weeelllllll, absurd post this is. I like writing a lot, though.

It gives a nice sort of unexplainable feeling...

Along with the song I'm listening to right now, 'Haru no Uta' ('Song of Springtime') makes it all the more nice c=

Stay sweet/sour, my little jellybeans!! :D:D:D

G'nite.

Holy shiznit!

Now the song's on 'Ai no Odyssey' ('Love Odyssey')!

IT'S KICKASS!

It was played on Cartoon Network once for a small bit and the whole song so far is amazingly metal/poppy/just... epic!

Maybe I'll post a download link for you guys to hear, if you like.

。。。

+ PICTURE NEXT POST

I SWEAR TO GOD THIS TIME. I APOLOGISE ;-;

Not anymore!

Yesterday was terrible, gotta admit.

But that pretty much went into complete reverse today!

My birthday was super!! Celebrated at school with friends and ate (a surprise) cake!

'twas fun. The fact that it was casual-clothes day made it all the more merrier for everyone, too, and it was really worth it =)

Got some awesome presents; candy (yuuuuuuum!!!), art tools (canvases and acrylics!), books (some good classics!) and clothes, amongst others.

I feel like using them all, but itsa school night. And gotta sleep early =\

Not officially 15 until 9:18pm, so thats about another 15mins-ish to go!

Making the last of being 14.

Also, currently re-reading 'To Kill a Mockingbird' alongside '1984'. The former I haven't read in half a year almost and forgot most of the story. Never got to finish it. The latter I find a really good read from Orwell (from his 'Animal Farm' which I studied 2 years ago; another awesomesauce book).

When I read these types of books, I always imagine the characters in my cartoon form and I then begin to wonder about animating something similar sometime...

Everyone loves my cartooning, so I'll consider trying it out sometime.

So long as a good animation program for Mac exists somewhere .-.

Perhaps a book review on the next post.

No pics, since the uploader seems to be having problems uploading =.=;

Term break after school tomorrow!!!

Can't wait!

Lasts until April.

But it'll be past April Fools' Day =\

Daymnnn. Was thinking of pranking some people.

This sucks.

Well, have I got a ton of probs on my chest recently;

a) school.

b) my brother.

c) recent attitude.

My tests at school so far turn out more terrible than I thought. I find it hard to keep up.

My brother keeps bitching to me about unimportant things and argues with me, trying too hard to be like my dad; he just wants to get to be right about everything he says. Dumb arrogant bastard. He's 2 years younger than me. WHY oh WHY wasn't he ever been taught anything on respect for others?

For some reason I've become more sulky, i.e. my friends talk to me less and less since new kids come in, and now I feel left out in class stuff, though they do 'talk' to me after class only. ¬¬ It's very disheartening and a bit stupid to do to others, imo. I feel like a background object.

I feel so unimportant somehow. I feel only 'adored' when I

a) draw stuff.

b) do something else others can't do.

c) ...dunno. Anything with art almost.

Hopefully it'll all clear up tomorrow, since it'll be my birthday.

But there's this annoying feeling, like where everyone says that usual 'happy birthday!' when you pass by. But they never pay similar attention on all the other 364/5 days...

I do hate feeling like this, but writing it here gets it all off somehow.

NOTE: I'm not 'emo'. This isn't me. But these moments do come, and it sucks big time to have to deal with. And I don't label people, so I see no reason as to why I should be labeled as such.

Well, its been nice to write again after ages.

I think I'll just go get a drink or something.~

Might come back to submit pics again, seeing as I also found my phone's USB cable.

Pattern drawing + a lazy Saturday

Something drawn about 2, 3 months ago. ^

Not sure if its been posted already but got the feeling I didn't yet.

Nothing better than sleeping in on a Saturday morning.

Especially since I couldn't sleep until 2am yesterday --;

Ooooh, and I got a glimpse of a show on NHK ('Living Well At 100') and heard Puffy's 「これが私の生きる道」 (Kore ga Watashi no Ikirumichi) play on start and end clips!

I'm a huge fan of Puffy. ★ ★ ★

From what was said in the show, its pretty interesting, too. 100+year-old residents really do know how to live :D Very amusing and unique.

Might draw later.

But gotta go catch that darn cat again. (Very hyper atm.)
