Overwhelming cuteness

[secondlina]

First thing first, alittle fanart of Amelia and Zelgadiss (from Slayers) floating around. This is for you, ameban . It's your birtthday soon, and you've been through a rought patch. so enjoy this picture full of happiness and joy. I wish you were closer so I could hug you.

 

Second, I spent a great weekend with cottoncandykid, who visited all the way from Peterborough, Ontario. There was many conversations, catching up, watching of animated movies and of course, eating of maple-based pastries. cottoncandykid looked really pretty - last time I saw her she had short hair. Now she's got long flowy locks. I,m really proud of her because she's working hard, achieving her dreams of being a museum curator. And she's getting married soon. In a steampunk-themed wedding. And i'm invited. Yessss.

I'm amazed by the number of people getting engaged and actively planning their weddings around me. I'm afraid all the weddings might wind up on the same dates (everyone almost is thinking of doing it in late august!) I'm going to spend a week running to various weddings. I can feel it. That's the perfect scenario to commit a fashion faux-pas since a few of them are themed. Fortunately, only one of these will be really, really traditional. The rest will be more about family and friends partying. I'm nervous about the traditional one. I don't do well in really strict settings when cake is involved.


Alas, in a negative third point - I'm sick. AGAIN. AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN.

How do I catch these stupid super-colds? And why do they always knock me off my feet? I think i'm going to be a zombie this week.

Finally, Namesake is going really well. We seem to have a good stable 300 readers and good comments all around. I get the feeling that, with a good marketing campaign, we could get a good readership. And I would love that. My dream is to communicate a story, and this one as a ton of potential.

avatarmirai keeps being awesome. She drew me Jack and Warrick. I love seeing the Namesake bunch in someone else's style! Behold!





By the by, miss mirai is currently taking commissions to pay for her expensive education. So if you would love a piece of her art, rush, go to her Deviant art journal, and ask!

Going to go snuggle up with my bottle of Nyquill now, and tea.

Oh man, I'm so far behind in Namesake. I'll try to catch up very soon D:

Speaking of which, je sors enfin de ma période d'enfer, ça te dirait de se voir bientôt, si t'es disponible?

[brendala.livejournal.com]

That Z/A picture is adorable. And I bet it feels good to see fanart of your creation!

[noseless-wonder.livejournal.com]

Aw, what a cute b-day gift! I love that you drew them barefoot. X)

Avatarmirai's drawings are adorable too! It amazes me that characters drawn so egregiously out of proportion still look "right".

I don't comment enough, but Namesake is fantastic so far, BTW.

[elle-white.livejournal.com]

I love the Z/A fanart. So sweet and adorable. I don't talk about them much, but I love those so, so much.

It must be great to see fanart of something you created.

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

You draw clothes so awesome and flowy =D Oh I love the Namesake fan art! XD Too cute! Steampunk themed wedding? That does sound bad ass! Jason and I are talking comics themed for ours :P

Sick again? :( Boo! Do you take vitamins? You may be missing some essentials from your diet a multi-vitamin might help to curb some of your immune system ills. I know I used to get sick a lot until I started taking vitamins regularly. Just a suggestion ;)

Oh, I picked up HTTYD double pack yesterday! Woot! =D

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

That's awesome you get to go to a steampunk wedding! I hope you can show us pictures. I guess it's good then that Stu and are I thinking May then. XP (Also, we'll most likely just be wanting a big party. So, I hope it's not our wedding your worried about. ^_^;)

Those chibis are adorable! I'll have to check out her account. Also, cute sketch of Zel and Amelia. Ameban will love it. ^_^

haha geek weedings aren't they awesome?, and steam punk punk theme that's like ten times more awesome.

And I know your pain I live on a very raining city so you basically get colds on a daily basis.

Aaaaaand those are some adorable chibis, hope in the future you can do guess comics I would love to give a collaboration for you guys 83

J'aimerais bien! Je suis malade en ce moment par contre. Mais je devrais être guérie d'ici la fin de la semaine, alors peut-être là?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

It does! Plus, I like mirai's simple style. mine is so gritty XD

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I draw barefoot characters all the time! *laughs* I hate wearing socks and shoes, and i'm transferring that to my drawings, by golly!

Aw, thanks! I'm glad you like Namesake. It warms my heart!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Zel and Amelia have a really special... something. It's light and cute and feels really natural.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Flowy is my middle name.

Comic themed? Like latex and masks? I hope to see photos of that.

I think I should eat more fruits. I kinda ate less this week (due to lazily not going out to purchase food) and I think that really influenced my vitamin intake.

HTTYD WOO!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're wedding isn't causing me ay trouble, it's not even this year! But a few of my friends are considering the end of august 2011 and i'm like "aaaaugh you guys it's going to be on the same dayyyyssss"

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Geek weddings are the best. :D

Urgh. Rainy. We just get rainy in the fall and I think it's too much already. I kinda wish I could live in the warm lands. But I love Canada too much to move.

We are thinking of doing guests covers at some point! You'd be welcome to do it! :D

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

Flowy is made of win ;)

As for masks and latex, that will all depend on those attending ;) We will see what folks wear. I do hope all will participate!... The costume will likely be a lot cheaper than the wedding dress! LOL! :P

Fruits and veggies are important for sure! I started taking prenatal vitamins about 2 years ago, and I noticed a huge difference in not only my health but how fast my nails would grow and how much more shiny my hair became :)

[pip25.livejournal.com]

The Z/A pic is full of win. Happy birthday ameban! :)
Hope you soon get better from that cold. I wish I'd have some super-secret anti-cold family recipe to share, but I'm afraid by us the best recommendation can be summed up as "have lots of tissues at hand". ;)

[angelchan-2004.livejournal.com]

That's such a pretty picture<33 Especially Zel's face~

And congrats on so many readers for Namesake! I'm so glad it's doing well. I make sure to catch up whenever I get a good connection. :D

[cxco.livejournal.com]

Ark, pauvre chou. Gueris vite! Pis en fin de semaine serait genial. On se rencontre en ville?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Oui, en ville ça serait bien! Tu préfères vendredi soir, ou samedi ou dimanche? Est-ce que tu sais ou tu veux aller? Sinon, ou pourrait juste aller manger quelque part, ou peut-être aller à la mangathèque? Ou juste aller chez moi après si tu veux :D

[cxco.livejournal.com]

Désolée pour répondre aussi en retard!!! Samedi pendant la journée ça l'air super. Moi ça me dérange vraiment pas de faire n'importe quoi. On se rencontre à quel station à quelle heure?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Bah, on peut se rencontrer à Sherbrook et décider à partir de là?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Rah, j'ai oublié l'heure... à 2h peut-être?

[cxco.livejournal.com]

EST-CE QUE ÇA SERAIT POSSIBLE DE CHANGER ÇA À SAMEDI PROCHAIN??? J'ai qu'aujourd'hui pour finir des projets que j'dois rendre en début de semaine. Désolée de répondre aussi en retard, réécris moi si tu reçois!!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Bien reçu! On mettra ça quelque part plus tard *rires* Pauve petite! T'est vraiment surcharée!

Cependant, le semaine prochaine, pendant la fin de semaine, je vais voir mes parents à Ottawa, alors je ne serais pas là. On pourrais se voir pendant la semaine. sinon, le lundi 8 novembre, je prévois aller au cinéma voir Megamind avec une copine! Tu pourrais te joindre à nous puisque megamind à l'air génial!

Laisse-moi savoir quand tu es libre! :D

(Et ne te sens pas mal d'être occupée. l'école c'est dur. Au pire, on profitera de l'été pour faire plein de trucs! Je suis passé par là moi aussi, alors je te comprends!)
