Secondlina's Panels

 I finally participated to this online meme I really like (can be found here) where you basically choose a little "cat" sketch, and make a character out of it. Here are mine.

They are like...sisters. From a evil possessed-hair family. The big sister hates looking after the little one. The hair doesn't mind.



In other news, i'm going to be gone tomorrow night and all of the weekend. I didn't end up celebrating Christmas last weekend because Link mixed up his dates. It wasn't last weekend. It was this weekend. Link needs to be a bit more organized. Still, I get early Christmas. I'm going to visit Link's family in a village around Montréal. I'm bringing Namesake pages to ink.

In other news, Namesake now can host project wonderful ads. Woo! I don't think we'll get much income that way (it's not really my goal to make money). But it's a nice space for friends and artists to expose themselves!

For some reason, I love peanut butter and chocolate cakes. I don't really like stuff like reeses but I like that mix of tastes in cakes. Hummmm.

Last night was a strange shift. I was working night shift on my own, when usually there is two people on weekends. Lot's of weird stuff happened and we fell behind schedule. I even had to turn off two trash cans that had been lit on fire. There was a big storm outside so a lot of people came in dragging an ocean with them. Another customer even slipped. It was pretty busy but I think I managed fine.

I was rather tired today though. I slept all day. From 8 to 6. sleep.

I've been actually having a lot of trouble sleeping lately. I'm restless, I have weird dreams and nightmares. I need to find tricks and tips to help me sleep. I also need to change my sleep pattern since i'm starting my internship next week and most of my shifts are early in the morning.

I'm really excited about the internship starting. I have a meeting on monday. And a drving exam on tuesday. Wish me luck!

I finally drew my meme, after being tagged by gigabahamut and earthstar XD
***♠ List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
***♠ Tag seven people to do the same.
***♠ Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do
I don't think i'll tag people though, since most people have already done it XD And i'm not a huge fan of chain mailthings.


I'm also finally getting my but in gear doujinshi wise. After a discussion with DQbunny, we though of a few good ideas. Hopefully, i'll manage to get some projects organized soon. It dawned on me how old slayers fandom was. Heck, I went to see a few websites about slayers for info and a lot of them still had floppy disk related humor.

I'll try to find a few newer fandoms to illustrate as well....maybe harry potter ^_^

I drew an amelia/Zel drawing I adore... Hehehe. Fluffy.

As for ten couples I dislike:
1) Hermione / anyone but Ron (ESPECIALLY Snape or Lupin. Gah. Why?)
2)Hitomi / Allen (from escaflowne...hate it beyond words. Poor Van.)
3)Xelloss / Sylphiel (People followed the hair = couple pattern)
4)Sesshoumaru / kid Rin (hum. Especially those who write lemon fics. Scarring I say.)
5)Edward / Alphonse (Oh great. incestous stuff now. I don't mind it so much when it's platonic love, but when the doujin artist or fanfic writter shoves sex in there...it's just odd.)
6) Edward / Roy mustang (Okay...if anything the whole miniskirt deal proves that he is not gay. And hate does not equal OMG OTP YES WEE!)
7) Anybody / invented mary sue that is mysteriously similar to the writter or artist (...)
8)Angel / Buffy (Yes it used to be canon. Now it's not. Get over it people. Let it go.)
9) Ryoga / Akane (Never saw it happen. Found it disturbing)
10) Nana / Takumi (From Nana....The guy is the worse asswipe ever. She could leave him and NOBODY would blame her. He cheats, lies and god knows what else. And she just keeps strolling along because she doesn't want to be alone, is dependant and feels guilty. Argh. This is more frustrating to read when you are aware that couples like that exist in reality.)

Aside from that, things are going okay. A lot of my teachers told me that I lacked focus and direction. My photo teacher said (while looking at my more recent work) that I was gone in a completly different direction, that I did not really understand. He said I din't get the perpice of my own work and that I needed to go dig up what originally motivated me. Mwer.

Most of my teachers agree that my work lacks direction. My life in general does. I'm so disorganised it' scary. And usually, I never was. Last year alone I was more organised then a governement contract drawer. Something this year made my loose the balance I used to have. It's true that this year, I have a lot of stuff I don't have around anymore and new stuff in my life. I guess I never took the time to get used to it. Now I need to back up and regroup.

In other news, xmas is coming and Isa must start her shopping, since i'm probably gonna run to Toronto when school will be out. I have a few devious ideas on what to get people. ^^

Oh! I learned that the STO (Bus society of Outaouais, aka quebec area where I live) is changing the bus structure in our little town. 
See, the thing with me is that I don't really live in Ottawa. I say I do because then I don't have to explain to people in which area I do live. But I actually live in the Quebec province, right next to another city called Hull, that is next to a bridge that leads to Ottawa. I'm about 20 to 30 minutes from the center of ottawa if I drive a car...with no traffic jams of course. In a bus, it takes about 45 minutes to get to the center though, and then If I need to go elsewhere or whatnot, add walking time or extra bus time on another motorised vehicule. 

We usually have two buses that start in Aylmer (my home) and go directly to Ottawa going thru Hull. We also have a bus that goes to another city, and another bus that goes to another spot in Hull. On rush hour, we have two other buses headed for Ottawa. That's it. There's a bus every 45 minutes.

They are planning to get rid of all the buses that go to Ottawa and Hull and have several buses circulate in Aylmer. Then those buses will go to Rivermead, a center point between Aylmer and Hull and everybody needs to get off and go on new buses that will either take them to Ottawa or Hull. However, the numbers are supposed to alter, so sometimes, the said bus will not go at the same spot, and you need to ask the driver. Another thing: sometimes the number on the bus will change and go directly to Ottawa after it reaches rivermead. But you have to ask the driver about that too.

God, what the hell?

Their "new and improved" system looks damn complicated to me. Their excuse is that it already works like that in Hull and Gatineau (other city close by)...But Aylmer does not need internal circulation. We have no industries or large businesses. We are a sleeping town. Most people living in aylmer work in Ottawa. We need to get OUT not hover inside. And aylmer is much smaller then Hull. 

This system is going to make things suck.
