See you guys in like... a week.

I'll draw while i'm on vacation, but I don't think i'll be posting much. I don't think the family i'm visiting in Florida has scanners! I'm not even sure what type of internet they might have. So i'm going to be hiding under a sun-heated rock for a week.

Don't discover any new awesome things while i'm away you guys!

Okay, so i'm not that nervous. Maybe slightly agitated.
I'm finally leaving for Toronto tomorrow. I know, took me long enough huh? I originally supposed to leave earlier, but I had a few things to edit out about school so I stayed behind a bit. It pissed me off slightly since if I knew I could have worked a bit more, I would have told my boss to schedule me rather then tell her I was gone. I met her at the store too yesterday, while I was out buying batteries. It was very akward. I suppose I could have called work to tell them to schedule me. But the people I was supposed to meet in order to solve the remainer of my school issues kept changing the date of the meeting, thus, Isa didn't work and pretty much wasted her time.

I'm really eager to start my intership, although it seems like it might be a bit different then what I expected at first. Still, it's going to be two months away from home, good for me to learn about art business management, do some comics, visit museums and galeries and of course, spend time with Link. I think i'll miss my family and my friends a lot. Although, I think it's odd they speak of my departure like i'm dying.

"Oh, Isa is going! The tragedy, the loneliness!"
"Er, i'll be back in a month and a half, two months tops..."

I believe my mom is afraid of being alone with my brothers.

I,ve kinda wasted my time since the exams finished. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I was doing right now and what I wanted to do with my life. It is my last year next year. I went to see the graduate's show of this year and started wondering about what I wanted to do for art...I also though about my general personnality too, as the precedent post indicated. I was pretty caught up in thinking, planning and visiting. I lost track of time. Barely drew anything, didn't even update the journal.

I told Link to keep an eye on me, make sure I draw a certain amount of pages a day.

That's good XD

Soon i'm gonna start a new story segment (I was waiting to get to Toronto) so the secondlina's characters will torture us both.



You know, considering the rat tail, maybe Link truly is... a jedi?

Tomorrow my friend tama drives me to the bus station ^_^ Much thanks to the tama!

Okay, so i'm back.
I've discovered a cruel rule of life : the more shit you leave behind when you take off, the more double that shit you will find at your return.
So since I returned, I did 5 loads of laundry, responded to 20 emails, opened 10 letters, had to do a pile of errants and cleaned all my house.
*sigh*
Home sweet home.

I wonder when I get to go back....

Oh well, on another note Toronto was excellent and I had a great time with Link, who changed appartements and now lives with his brother and roomate in a place that is just a jewel. Great location, clean, well taken care of...the owner is a nice chinese man that is very amusing. His wife is somewhat demanding though (you can tell right away who wears the pants in that relationship!)
I have material to draw a zillion comics. "The Toronto Chronicles" or something. *laughs*

I discovered very close to Link's house a very cool second-hand clothes store where I got a polka dot dress from the 80's. I also discovered the ultimate comic book store that even carried french european comics despite the fact that it was smack in the center of an english town! Why smack me silly!
The Doujin suffered from my trip a bit, but for those interested i'm working on two drawings that i'M going to color and perhaps sell as printouts. The drawings are very nice, i'll probably post the in the next few days.

People are bending over backwards for me since I came home yesterday (and no, you perverts, I don't just mean Link). The bookstore close to my house offered me a job. I was already taking care of their comic collection but they want to hire me for at least 2 hours a week to take care of that collection O_O sweet. My actual job is going okay, I get back to it tomorrow. I get back to university next week.

I'm currently looking for a art place in Toronto to do an intership this summer. If anyone has an idea, please suggest.

So yes, i'm in Toronto now. The verdict up to date: I've been sleeping a lot, drinking tea and feeling a lot better then I have been in a while. It's good to spend time with fun people and recharge your batteries...Despite the fact that some of the people that share Link's house are strangely fucked up (they express their love by throwing dishes at each other...). But no matter since Link, his brother and their roomate Marco are moving on the 26th (and I get to see the new appartment too! wee!)

I've given link the keys to the kingdom here, so he's officially allowed to make posts on the LJ. He's got his own icon to mark when it's him posting, so you'll know when it's one of my drawings or one of his.

I haven't worked at all on the doujins. I'm not ashamed about it at all. XD

Well, i'm off to do my stuff in Toronto and Quebec city.
I have no idea if i'll be able to update (hopefully yes). I know for a fact Link has a scanner. It now all depends on how busy/lazy I am.

I hope this week off will  return me to a state of calm before school starts.

Other then that, here is the sketch for the cover page of Slayers Clone. Also, a little explanatory drawing I found that I though was cool

Oh wow.
I actually did it.
I went to freakin' greyhound buses and purchased a ticket!
I AM GOING TO TORONTO!

....................................................................on the 21th of august.

STILL!
YEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!
It costed me 85 dollards and the clerk was a rud and annoying bitch but I don't care! hahahahahaha!
I'm taking time off from work from the 19th to the 28th in order to go see my family in quebec and Link in Toronto. Isa's gonna travel quite a bit soon!
Then I need to start university again.
Gyah! I'm actually nervous about both!

On an unrelated note, I was wondering if it bothered people that I did not Lj cut. I don't like to do it, I find you posting the comics directly fits the style of this journal, but is it bothersome for you guys on your friend's pages?

In a second p.s. I was wondering if you guys could send me links and/or directly photos on my personal email (secondlina@hotmail.com) of...you guys (and by that I mean Amelia, Ichiban, Earthstar, Bunneh, Isabel, Yukioomoni and you wesley! ...well, actually, not wesley. I have yours). I'm trying to make a big drawing with all the people I like on it and I think you folks should be included....er, if you want to. I,m not forcing anybody! ^^
