Today I didn't do anything at all. My body was totally exhausted and useless and I spent the day under covers sleeping.

For some reason I have energy now and feel compelled to write. Tomorrow I am probably going to try and start a routine... *feels useless* I want to buy and read "Blankets"??!! You know that huge comic novel that has won a million awards in everything because it is so awesome?? Does anyone want to lend me $50?? It looks like it has such a good story and the art I've seen so far (mostly on preview sites, Warp had their copy all shrinkwrapped) is gorgeous.

I think I am more compelled to post in this now that I'm home?? My friends are a whole tub of cute.

I want to look at Krystina's million-dollar doll. I want to see if I can cast my own? Who knows. I am excited about my dad's lab. Maybe on Tuesdays he will let me play with some materials... and try my best not to waste them like the villain I am. He's got fast drying plaster. And a buffer wheel. And teeth wax (the pink stuff!) and moulding stuff (when they take teeth imprints). And some sort of chemical plastic to make fake teeth and a little cooker thing. I think I'm going to poke around a bit and maybe buy some beads and make some jewelry, melt down some of my uglier aluminum pieces. And possible cast them... I should cast myself some metal teeth yo. A new set.

Anyways, can't stay up late tonight. Gotta get ready for bed and find my MD player.

Today I broke my glasses.

I was sleeping on my dad's couch at the clinic cos I had stayed up late last night but was there to set up all my art stuff.

I fucking rolled over them in my sleep and smashed off the right arm.

(;_;) I am such a dumbass. My warranty just ended 2 months ago.

I don't deserve to be in this family. I am such a waste of money.

My dad drove me out to get new frames and they are ugly, but this is my punishment (TToTT) My eyesight has stabilized now and so it's okay, I'll wear these until they disintegrate. It's still the same lenses so it's okay.

When waiting for my lenses to be reframed I visited Vic. I got a bunch of expired slide film hahaha... and I set up shop.

I had my first class today and found out that Smash Adam is in it. The class seems easy.

I've been working on Lunar New Year stuff for my dad again. Again, I am compelled to feel great angst and hate towards the Vietnamese Association for their disorganization and unprofessionality. (@_@)

I recently bought a cheap mic and speaker set and I love them. I've been recording things like mad since I got it XD I will never be as good as Jordyn's Bday song but I can do this forever and not be bored. Naturally it all ends in Lovage. That's pretty much what I've been doing lately HAWHAWHAW.

Colleen is having a thing at 11:00AM tomorrow at Moxies near Kingway for before she leaves. I'm not sure whose phone numbers she has (as for me I hardly have any...) but I'm assuming that most people who read this also know her so it would be much appreciated if your brought yourselves. Thanks???

I think I will have to start posting these more often cos that whole bunch there was a royal pain... For the first one I was listening to Ben Folds and I felt dumb enough to write in lyrics, in bubble letters. OMG REGRETSSS. For 5.gif I cut off the boobies cos they were really freaking deformed. For some reason I thought that's the way they should have been but then the next day when I looked at it again I was NOT PROUD ANYMORE. But because I've posted uglier stuff on here and apparently don't care at all, you can find the full ugly version here. I really need to get back into lifedrawing, I already am sucking more... The Zoro fanart was orignally an oekaki but for some reason Madigan seized up and so I had to screencap it.. Never finished.. The arms are a bit off, his scar isn't patched up, but his collarbones are fekkin sexy. The last of the bunch is an OC I did with Koyar and Juu and the OC file can be found here, and Oh! I haven't forgotten. Get get your OC here Mike Hass PD. You can go back into my archives if you don't have the other one.

I am really sucking at drawing lately. I am really trying??? But everything looks awful unless they are 2-minute doodles, just to piss me off.

Lately I have been feeling a great amount of love towards my friends. I love you guys to tears, seriously. I am nothing without you (;_;) I cannot be beautiful alone (T_T) Also, right now I am feeling really ecstatic over something and I can't sleep. I feel like screaming "WAKUWAKU" off the top of my lungs and saying "FUCKKK YOUUUU" randomly to people (Which is terribly mean! I've done it before. It makes me feel ashamed afterwards. Apologies, Adam.)

About the Xmas Project.... FECCCKKKK YOUUU! No. Seriously, I don't know what the heck I was thinking puttin gout such a shoddy project. I was working on page 7 when I realized "Why the hell am I doing this straight-to-pen". The other thing that was a clincher was when Shauna emailed me saying "It looks good but what is all this pubic hair in the streets"... (;_;) So honest. They were supposed to be little street stones... Whiskerville apparently has no inhabitants or sidewalks so I wanted to fill the streets with stones, but my hand got tired and I blew it. Don't laugh (#_#) *cries*

Seeing as I have no web presence and have gotten no feedback other than from friends I didn't update. I don't care. I'm taking my time and it'll be beautiful. Everyone will still get a copy. I don't know what to do about web stuff, I have the Doujisoup page to finish and my own webpage (which again, will be delayed? for another half a year?). *sobs*

Anyways it's totally late and I think I'll have to force away my whimsy and go to bed. An showed me this weird "toy plant" that has some sort of solar powered engine in it that "grows" the plant. It has "3 movement". WTF. Crazy Japanese.

Went to karaoke with Juu, Joanna, Barbara, Koyar, Joel, and Krystina today. Super fun! $10 a person! We sang from 3:00ish (sorry Barbara! for being late...) til 6:30 (Julie and Joel left at around 6:00...)... My throat is a little raspyish now haha... I was holding out okay until "Tsumi to Batsu" by Shiina Ringo in which I screamed my lungs out... Doing "Yattsuke Shigoto", "Lovefool" (Cardigans), and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (Bonnie Tyler) in close succession kind of sealed the deal, I didn't sing after that hahaa....

We didn't have time for a bopper song... Too bad. We got Joel to sing "Bohemian Rhapsody" though, and Barbara stopped a lot to say "What the hell is that??" at the weird karaoke movie... Krys and I sang a lot of Utada and Shiina together (we were hogging the mics a bit sorry @_@), and we all did "A Whole New World" together, cos we couldn't relaly understand the duet parts? Koyar and Krys got their share of Ken Hirai and etc, they couldn't find the Kinki Kids song Krys wanted.... Julie sang Paul Anka, and Joanna sang some ABBA and other english songs with me... We harrassed Koyar into singing the McDull (McDuff?) Pig song again which was so cute...

They had Go!Go!7188 songs and I didn't know!!! Next time, definitely, with Barbara.... And they had "Stem" by Shiina Ringo, so we sang that too.. Yey.... Krys and Barbara were yelling really freaking loud on that December Gackt song.. "TAIIIIIIISETSUNAAAAAA... DAIIIISUKI NAAAAAAA" XDD YES! and on Secret Garden "OHHHHHH YUME NO NAKA DEEEEEEEEEE" XDD Greatness.. It was so fun... The guy outside was probably like "WTF are they doing in there..." We were the only group around at that time..

Koyar and Julie picked the Kamen Rider theme song or something? It was so funny, the karaoke video to the song..? Some sort of weird bootleg ki'ds concert with a lady with shiny seizurely pants and a cake on her head, singing the medley with big plush Sailor Moon mascots dancing in the BG... WTF.... Koyar says she was only reading the lyrics, Julie was actually singing it...

After Julie and Joel left the rest of us stayed for another half hour and Barbara drove us to Whyte and dropped Jo off at her karate class place (party?) and the four of us left to find dinner on Whyte... We parked at IGA and walked really far in the cold... We settled at some Irish Pub place... The food was good and filling. Pub food is good XD It wasn't that smoky either? I smell a bit like smoke still, but not that much. The bar people weren't in til 8:00 I guess, it wasn't so full? The food was good. We talked a lot, it was very fun!

Pictures and movies can be found here but it's password blocked to save bandwidth... Also, I don't think Joanna, Joel, Krys and Barbara like having their pics on full display for any stranger to see... You'll have to pry the username and password from us. They are really silly pictures anyways, caught in mid-song, with mouths open and horse-teeth showing arghh.. And are blurry as hell. There aren't that many either LoL

I need to work on Xmas comic! I really do. (@_@) It's so hard when the scanner isn't actually connected to my computer anymore.. Scanning in another computer and then trasferring through the network to Madigan.. pain.

Okay, I finally got this out of the way. Puuuwaaaahhh!!! It's Sumire and Momo. Sumire is sexy. I want a Momo! I want be be a careerwoman with a boy for a petttt... I have more space to write in this infernal thing now! My entries will still be as long but they won't.. /look it/.

Items of importance - Happy Holidays to everyone that I've missed off my email list. Mikloven Hasselhoffen, I lost your email. (;_;) I'm sorry. Please email me so I can add you to my address book.

Also! There is the matter of this thing, Edmonton Cartoon Artist's Meetup... Even though it's "cartoon" what it will end up being, no doubt, is more like "anime-hybrid". Cos we are too uncool for the real cartoon people. Someday I will learn to draw well, I swear! Anyways, please come if you can. The date is set very far ahead... Even so I think Juu's alreayd canvassed more people than I ever will...

Christmas + co. were laid back this year. I'm relieved to the fact that it was dull actually. A few days' rest... Tomorrow I'm back at it though.. Karaokeeee XDDD Hoooouuu ooohh sasuuuuuu Asa no Yamatedooorriiiiii

Doesn't look like I'll be getting any pages done for the comic today?? I am such a liar... I'll go to it right now though........
