Okay, I suck. I can't wait for summer where I can update more often. Schoolwork just takes most of my time lately and I feel bad for my friends, my comics and my journal. And for me of course. God knows I love to spend days doing nothing else but reading a book. Soon my pretties, soon. For the school year ends on the 20th of april! MWAHAHA!
Other then that, I'm an awful driver. I mean, i'm quite terrible. People fear me on the road. I need to get better though because I want to pass the test that will allow me to have my permit. I figured I was most likely bad at driving because I don't like it. It's a necessary skill though, especially in north america where everything is miles apart. Maybe my lack of efficient driving is genetic?
I wish it was genetic, then i'd have an excuse. But naw...I just need to keep trying. ^_^
I didn't draw a lot of comic lately but I have taken a sinful amount of photograph and have loosely sketched a lot of stuff. I even took a shot at redesigning Lina's suit to give her a more casual wear wardrobe, but I think she would look much better in a suit. I've been drawing work creatures and several other creatures too. I'm currently obsessd about cool or cute creature things. You really should see my class notes. Covered in cuteness.
As for photo, I have a pretty good idea what i'm gonna do for the class...I'm putting in parallel old art and new art and the work of artists. So I took a lot of pictures of classmates and random friends while they were working on their artwork. I also took a portrait of myself. But the portrait of me if very different. It's not a work portrait. I tried to make it look like I was an Allegory of photo. An allegory is a genre from rennaissance where art, or muses, were represented. Later on, a few artists did self portraits with Allegories. The women artist Arthemisia Gentillesci did a portrait of herself AS an allegory of painting. There is no "Allegory of photo" because Allegories stopped being a genre way before cameras were invented so I kinda made up some of the symbolism in the picture based on old Allegories and artist self-portraits. I,m rather rpoud of the result! I even got to print it on CANVAS! The photo really looks like a painting. I love it. Check it out:
It took me and my friend a few hours to shoot it and it took me a few hours to edit it to perfection in photoshop. I'm extra-ultra-proud of my work. Yay for photo. ^_^
As a final note: I'm posting up a meme several of you had you journals because I think some people will hurt me if I don't XD

Date: 2007-03-27 08:19 pm (UTC)I like Lina's outfit, it's cute and I really like that photo too. I remember learning and studying Allegories last year in Art History class. I thought they were rather cool.
no subject
Date: 2007-03-27 08:57 pm (UTC)As for the meme...
1) Why I friended you? You seemed cool. That was pretty much it.
2) Probably the Tao song since you are the one that sent it to me. Although I also think of you when I lisend to disney songs.
3)You make my think of the old cartoon Rainbow brite for some odd unexplained reason.
4) The portraits. Definitly the portraits. And also how pretty your hair was.
5).....Anything in slayers. But a lot Zel/amelia.
6)...why Earthstar?
7) I love the Cara icon. I know I drew it but I love to see it colored and it fits you so well!
no subject
Date: 2007-03-27 09:38 pm (UTC)Actully, considering I tried to decorate my room in a sort of "Rainbow" theme, that does fit. ^_~
6)...why Earthstar?
Truth be told, I'm not entirely sure. However, I think it's mostly because of a cartoon I had seen called Toad Patrol One of the cooler characters in that was named Earthstar (a guy believe it or not) and I guess the name just stayed in my brain.

Date: 2007-03-27 09:06 pm (UTC)Lina = cute.
1) I always read a few entries before friending someone. This really geeky entry you wrote convinced me to, although I don't recall the specific entry.
2) ...Oh wow. Hum...I'd actually associate you with Asterix or a counting crows or a barenaked ladies song because of the fun beat and hilarious lyrics. I also associate you with this french song called "Frâcture du crâne" (broken head) which says that "opening your mind won't break you head. So do it." I'll send it to you, it's a beautiful song.
3) You are definitly a role model for me. I admire how far you have gotten in life at such a young age and how dedicated you are to your fandoms.
4) "Wow, I,m not sure who this is but she comments a lot..."
5) Lina-Gourry, but also Anlise-Renge.
6) What's the worse thing you ever said to someone despite you're sweet nature? AND what does DQbunny stand for?
7)Any icon with that pink bunny and also the toaster OTP!
no subject
Date: 2007-03-27 09:36 pm (UTC)The worst thing I ever said to anyone? It was when I was 15 and my parents were going through the divorce and I told my father I didn't want to see him for awhile. Thankfully, he didn't give up on me and I've always regretted my mother brainwashing me like that. I'm now very close to both of my parents.

2)Heroes. Like....duh. XD
3)You are so dedicated to all your fandoms. I love it.
4) "Ooh, pretty drawings! Who is this? Didn't I see this on deviant art before?"
5) You/Japanese guy from heroes. XD Because he's so cute!!! (I've only watch two episodes so bear with me.)
6)When did you learn how to draw?
7) That Heroe LOL one.

1) Slayers fandom as a commun point.

4)Your icons. I saw them and though they were cool.
5)Amelia, of course. But also sakura from naruto.
6) ...hum. Do you know about strangers in Paradise?
7)Probably the fanservice one.

Date: 2007-03-27 08:56 pm (UTC)The photo came out amazing! I like to mess around with photos in Photoshop as well, but nothing ever comes out like that! I like how it almost looks like it could be a painting, but still is obviously a photo. That, and the outfit...wow. Where do you find this stuff?
(I look at the outfit Lina's wearing and just imagine she'd hate it the moment she had to move into action. "Gah! Restrictive!")
Oh, and yeah, meme... ^_-
no subject
Date: 2007-03-27 11:45 pm (UTC)Thanks ^^
And yes, I picture Lina slamming in the floor.
Meme:
1) Found you on your site, traded dools for doujins. You know, I always wondered if that was a joke! I guess i'm the only one who took it seriously.
2)For some reason I associate you with the shrek version of i'm a believer. "I believe that love only existed is faaaairy tales!"
3)You make me behave. XD
4)I remember searching for you on livejournal out of curiosity and finding you there. I also recall one of our first msn chats that was almost all about religion. That was great.
5)I'd say amelia, but nowadays, it's more victoria.
6)Do you believe in destiny?
7) Hard one! I love the "misunderstood" one but also the "HEH" one...and of course any you make from my drawings! I love how you use them.
p.s. I've got another question! I wondered if you could make me an icon from that page in the halloween section where Lina smiles like crazy?
no subject
Date: 2007-03-28 12:03 am (UTC)2. Aww...actually, The Monkees originally sang that song, and it is a favorite of mine. ("Meant for someone else, but not for me! Love was out to get me, that's the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams!" ...anyway.) :D
3. I still let you have some fun, don't I? ^_^; It amazes me how just standing near people compels them to behave in my presence. Am I really so frightening?
4. I bet I still have that chat saved. I don't look at them very often, but I like to save them so later I can look back. And yeah, that was pretty cool. I don't often meet religious people online (which is probably a good thing, really. I don't want to be condemned to "that hot place" just for being what I am), but I sure meet a lot of people who respect me for what I am, which makes it even easier to have respect for others in turn. :)
5. Vic's all mine, so I can do what I please with her without people screaming "OOC!!" at me. Unless Victoria decides to go into a berserker rage and destroy the world or something..
6. I don't believe that our lives are planned out entirely before we come here, but yes, I do believe some things were meant to happen. Heck, if you'd have asked me when I was younger if I'd have as many friends in diverse places, I'd have thought you insane! If nothing else, I was definitely meant to meet the people I have, and even to have some of the jobs I had (as they all ended up preparing me for university) so...yes, I do believe in destiny.
7. I love your art. It's so clean and easy to work with! And yes, I'd love to make you an icon! I could even colorize it if I go completely insane. Would you want anything special done with it?
no subject
Date: 2007-03-28 12:24 am (UTC)As for the icon...hum, just her not smiling then smiling with a caption following saying "Happy Lina." "Yes, we are scared too." ^^

Date: 2007-03-27 09:02 pm (UTC)I think the photo is cool and it's kind of weird how you look like you belong in the past, yet you have this modern looking camera.
Your Lina drawings make me wonder if that was what she would wear if she ever settled down. Did she wear similar stuff before leaving home? I can imagine her being pretty reluctant only for Gourry to convince her she looks cute and it's only for a little while. hehe.
no subject
Date: 2007-03-27 11:52 pm (UTC)The camera's not that modern though! *laughs* it's 30 years old ^^ It used to belong to my dad when he was in college. Now it's mine. It's a great camera. They don't make 'em like that anymore!
As for Lina's outfit I plan on squeezing her in a dress soon, pray that I survive XD
meme:
1)Because you're so darn cute I wanna squish you! *laughs* No really, you're a good guy and fun to speak to.
2)Funeral for a friend of course (got the cd today!)
3)You seem very poetic.
4)It's not a first memory but I remember that weird dream I had with you in Dqbunny in it...And you were either gourry or your face was covered by something. Quite odd!
5)Gourry.
6)What is your ideal story for a comic?
7)The "a bit of peace" one.

Date: 2007-03-27 11:59 pm (UTC)1) I think I mainly started to speak to you because it made Tama happy (no offence) I though you seemed nice but I was still iffy about the internet and it's ways. Then the RPG jumped in.
2)Anything by they might be giants. Oh, and "It's the end of the world as we know it"
3)You. Have. Odd. Taste. In. Women. XD (but I still encourage you.)
4) "A trip? To where?" XD (I hope you remember!)
5)...OBSIDIAN!!!!
6)...haven't we exhausted this yet? Hum...I guess...hummmm...Where would you wanna live someday?
7)The wand one. (You need more icons!)

1) Je t'ai rencontrer par fauve, pas de grosse histoire là.
2) La tune des chocobo! Ou de Sephiroth.
3)T,as une drôle d'obsession pour des trucs japonais bizarres (comme tes dessins du bonhomme oiseau...Gen?) D'ailleurs j'ai vu un magasin à Toronto ou il y en avait plein. Tu vas recevoir un truc de ce genre pour ton anniversaire. XD
4) Les vieilles vidéos copier de slayers que tu m'avais prêter! (Soit dit en passant, merci infiniment! XD)
5) Pour toujours ce sera les personnage du RPG de la mort de Sofi qui me feront penser à toi XD
6) ...Est-ce que tu est tombé dans l'espèce de mouvement populaire du Yaoi? Moi j'aime toujours pas vraiment ça.
7) T'en a pas. Mais j'aime tes icônes msn. ^^
bonne chance toi aussi!
no subject
Date: 2007-03-28 02:05 pm (UTC)Mais pour répondre à ta question, non, je n'ai jamais embarqué dans la vague du yaoi. Le yaoi ne me dérange pas, tant qu'il n'est aps fait juste pour faire du yaoi. Et tout yaoi imaginé par les fans avec des personnages non yaoi eux-même m'énerve une... mais remarque, c'est comme pas mal tout fanfict, ça. À moins que ce soit juste évident, comme dans Weiss Kruz ou Gundam Wing... Mais je dois dire que dernièrement, je me suis détacher des mangas et anime et je me rattache de plus en plus à mes jeux videos...
En tout cas, si tu cherche un bon anime, tu devrais regarder Mahoujin GuruGuru. C'est vraiment drôle!
no subject
Date: 2007-03-29 02:06 pm (UTC)Je suis pas mal d'accord pour ton opinion du yaoi. S'il y a une bonne histoire en arrière ça me dérange pas mais le yaoi fait par des fans dans une série ou il n'y en a pas me tape sur les nerfs (surtout en ce moment avec Hagaren. "Roy aime Edo parce qu'il le déteste!!!" ou bien "Edo et Al son en amour parce qu'il s'aime!" ...Nooooon, peut-être que ce sont des frères et des collègues? Pffff.)
En ce moment j'ai vraiment laissé tombé les jeux (je joue juste chez fauve) et je lit moins de manga (les derrière bd que j'ai acheté son majoritairement américaine en fait) Mais je me cherche une autre bonne série à commencer. Et j'ai envie de m'acheter les sailor moon pour une raison x...

2)Rewrite from FMA. Not sure why.
3)So much effort in the entry titles...love it.
4) "Hello, I like your drawings!"
5) Akito. And Nico from runaways too.
6) Do you feel like singing?
7)"hide the Rum." And Spuffy.
p.s. Did you know there's an art galerie in Ottawa called snapdragon? I keep forgetting to tell you!http://www.snapdragongallery.com/
The website sucks. I'll take a picture of it for you someday!
no subject
Date: 2007-03-28 04:38 am (UTC)Aww, thank you! Yeah, I figure a little factoid is a nice little addition. It's nice that people actually read them.
And I'm glad Link thinks I'm cool too!! ^___^
Awesome!! I like that song!!
And effort it is too. Sometimes I really have to wrack my brain to come up with them. Some I crib from random quotes. Others I can come up with pretty easily...
He heeee!!
Yay for kick ass Japanese chicks!
In my head I do. I don't do it out loud, because of the way my voice is due to a dog attack from when I was younger.
*snort* Such fun!
And my username is a nod to Buffy as well. It's from a Fifth Season episode when Glory is talking to Dawn after she finds out she's The Key. It kinda stuck with me.

1) You rant good. I laugh and agree. ^^
2) Oddly enough...Somebody to love by Queen. Maybe because it sounds like a sang rant?
3)You're self esteem is low, and I have no idea why. I wish you had more confidence, you deserve it! ^^
4) "Omg...you can swear on the internet!" *stares at screen and laughs*
5)Kagome. ^^ I think she suits you perfectly.
6) How was your childhood? XD I really don't know what to ask.
7)Your default.
p.s. I also love the line "My dad is a serial monogamist. I have 5 siblings as proof."
no subject
Date: 2007-03-28 04:31 am (UTC)4. When did I say THAT?
5. I like Kagome. I think she's underrated. I mean, she's not a badass like Lina, and she's not cute and cuddly like a CLAMP character, but she has this heroic side to her that is subtle but there, and she can be so noble sometimes. That, and she's funny as hell, and not afraid to cry, even when she's pissed off.
...but like me? *blush* Obviously that's very flattering...!
6. Weird. I spoke gibberish until I was 3. My parents spilt when I was 2, then both remarried to different people when I was 4. I remember being confused alot, stealing alot, being lonely, and hating school. But most of it I blocked out. I dunno why. I remember things that make me the creative person I am now, like pretending to see fairies in trees or living in a dream world, but the rest is fuzzy.
...but he IS!
I totally wanna do this thing.
Date: 2007-03-28 03:14 am (UTC)It happens way too rarely if you ask me. I'll try and make it happen a bit more.
I really like the first drawing of you, on the hour hand, with all the work cratures. I really like the message it conveys (conveys is a word, right)
Plus the last drawing has quick an efficient coloring on it. It looks really good.
Now me do me. Now me do me.
Re: I totally wanna do this thing.
Date: 2007-03-28 04:03 am (UTC)1) Why I friended you...er...Well, generally I just wanted someone intelligent to talk to that would, oh, listen. I was kinda feeling left out I suppose because of all the love going around and the Sarika thing. Plus you're a geek. And one of the first guy I met I didn't want to hack in small bite-sized pieces. That's a good thing.
2) The cramberries.
3) You collect curses. Like that "wounded everytime we meet curse." XD
4) Dear gods above...That's a bit far back. Hummm...I remember that time we played with those kids that lived in the "van" (or is it winnibago?) That was fun. And the ricochets. 4 freaking hours of ricochets. You don't forget that XD
I also remember other things that aren't really from the beginning and not fit for a pg-13 area. Carry on.
5)Abe. You know which I mean.
6)...that I haven't asked YET? I dunno. Why are you obsessed with that swooning move?
7) You don't really have a userpic much. But I guess I like them. Maybe we should do more userpics from drawings XD
p.s. Read order of the stick.
Re: I totally wanna do this thing.
Date: 2007-03-30 12:19 am (UTC)3. So I collect curses, eh? Well, I figure I got a blessing for every one of my curses, so it ends up being ok in the end.
5. I am SOOO not THAT dense.
6. I have no idea what your talking about.
And I did start reading order of the stick, it's pretty funny, even if the drawing could use a little upgrade.
Try this one on for size. The drawing are actually pretty damn good. and I rather like the orc.

I friended you because I met you through Annekay and you seemed interesting. I'm sorry if I did all those "Huh, right you read my journal!" I do those all the time. I mean, I talk about my boyfriend here all the time and expect him to read it, but everyttime he throws something about the journal at me I get a stupid moment. XD
