Scanned a lot at einahsketch 's house today. :D



( {Tons of sketches under the cut!} )( {Tons of sketches under the cut!} )
Had a pretty good day today. Finished the last Stanford test I'll ever have to take in my life. Went to Petsmart with my Geometry teacher from last year, had a tofu sandwich with my brother. We went to Cactus music and picked up some CDs. (Contra--Vampire Weekend, Hvarf Heim--Sigur Ros, and How to Grow a Woman from the Ground--Chris Thile) Then we picked up einahsketch and battari_kakiin from their school and hung out for a while. Which was AWESOME. Mostly because we nearly made Olivia piss herself. Ho ho ho. And kept spooking eachother with Slenderman sightings. HAVE FUN SLEEPING YOU GUYSES.

I have rehearsal tomorrow from 9 to I -don't-know-when. And I'm going to enjoy seeing you guys again on Sunday. <3

Took a day off today, woke up with a pretty high fever. So I slept a lot.

Have a song!



( Some writing from earlier in the week! )



Since Okgo won't let me embed their new video for This Too Shall Pass, here's Damion K. talking to Kermit the Frog.
(Their video for WTF is also pretty AMAZING)

And some Victor Borge for good measure:

( So LAST NIGHT... )

Also, slam poetry looks amazingly fun.

HNNNNNNG, Doctor Who, HNNNNNNNNNNNGH, Russel T. Davies

I'm going to start posting my NaNoWriMo up here, bit by bit. Feel free to comment/critique, if you want! :D

( PROLOGUE )

And also
This dress.
Oh my god this dress.
Yeeeeess. It's so hideous and adorable and ugly and cute.

Hey yous guys.
So, the convention last week was pretty dull. But still pretty awesome, seeing as I spent it with Steph and Morgan and Olivia and Audel and Caleb. NEXT CONVENTION, THOUGH, YOU GUYS.

NEXT TIME. It will be intense. We'll be prepared and we won't be so restricted.

And if we have asshole waiters, we will...pinch...them. Pinch them hard.

Read more on our obnoxious antics on Steph's most recent post. :D

And NaNoWriMo!

Are any of you guys doing this? I'm going to try. :T
So far I have my prologue and part of my first chapter written.

If you are doing this, be my writing buddy! I'll be posting excerpts, if you guys are interested. I just started the day before yesterday, so I need to get tankin' fo' realzies.

So, how bout that school? :l

Man, for the life of me, I can not listen to HCC teachers. They're so...ugh. They're cool people, just not very good teachers.
So I've been sitting in class and drawing owl ladies and memorizing my lines for Sweeney Todd.

Does anyone know where I can find a big ol' door poster of the statue of David? I want to get one. And then off to the side, I'll have a bunch of heads taped to the wall with letters above that read "HEAD BANK." So I can tape different people's heads to David's face. I'm most looking forward to Spock, Teddy Roosevelt, Robin Williams, Gene Wilder, and Uma Thurmin. I love my bedroom.

I don't know. I'm tired, and just wrote a book report for a book that I don't even own.

School starts on Monday--I don't want to be a junior. 
I have the mindset of a fifth grader!
I still make fart jokes!
Frequently!

Also, there's a storm a-brewin' outside. It's very comforting. I like the sound of thunder and wind and rain.

And also again, I got some new books. YAAAAAY I'll probably talk more about em later.

ANYWAYS. ART. Here you go. :T


( Sketchbooks and an ink painting! )

I'm bored.

Have some things.




Janie Gore. ("Janes" or "Gorrie") :T Star Trek fan character. Please don't punch me. Oh, and the ship is U.S.S. Sagittarius. That's not her sign.


:T Her shipmates are pretty cash. I want to draw all of em at some point.

OH. And has anyone ever used Wacom's Bamboo fun tablet? I've heard good things, and am thinking about buying it. Because I hate my mouse.

Hnnnrg. Summer is almost over. I don't want to go back to school.

I'm sorry I don't really update. I'm trying to get better, you know?

HAVE SOME FILLER!

( Journal Songs! )
AAAAAAAAAnyways. I'm going on a roadtrip tomorrow. I'm headed to Georgetown to drop off a few mysterious packages, and then to Austin for FUCKING HARRY POTTER, BITCHES with my (favorite) cousins. We're probably just going to nerd it up for the whole weekend and discuss Sandman and the Neils and movies and animation and it will be glorious.

Anyways. It's almost 5 in the morning, and the exterminator is gonna be here later. (YAY) So I guess I'll go to bed.

Also, SEASON TWO OF THE GUILD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
THE ENDING IS SO SAD AND I WANT TO SPOIL IT FOR ALL OF YOU

Nataly Dawn. I've been listening to this song all morning, I love it. :>





( An exerpt from Linda's story I wrote last week. )

I'm ready to get out of this garage apartment.

I really don't mind it when it's just me and my puppy, but it's just so crowded with all three of us. I really wish I could leave and go on a walk without waking up my mom. I'm not entirely sure where I'd go, though. 

When I'm in my new room, I'm planning to cover the walls (and possibly ceiling) with anything I can. I'm going to run around town with Micah and pick up a bunch of posters from Nan's and Houston420. I'm trying to think about how I'm going to set up my room.

I honestly miss living on a second story. When I move out, I'm going to be sure that I don't live on the ground. And my chairs and bookshelves will be close to the window. I'll do all of my reading on the sill, and think up whimsical stories and lead a more exciting life through my imagination while dangling my feet above the street.

I think I'm going to try my hand at writing music again. I never really got into it, I mean, I enjoyed it, but I was just really self-conscious about anything I wrote. And even when I'd sing my songs to my friends, they'd come back with something snarky. Even knowing it's all in good fun, I still get embarrassed really easily when people poke at things I've worked on.

I hope it rains soon. Or I hope the air moves, at least. It's been completely still and humid and awful all month. If it rains really hard, I'll be happy to just sit on the sidewalk and enjoy it.

I need to keep writing. I haven't really done anything that deserved any merit for months, and it makes me feel lazy.
Honestly, I wish I were more like my freshman English teacher. Once, he started his class off by just reciting one of his own poems about his experiences in the war. He gave it to us in a voice that brought silence and attention. I'm not exactly a veteran, nor am I old enough to have much experience in anything, but I still wish I could build on myself, make something I'm proud of and

I don't really know how to say what I was trying to, so I'm just going to stop there.

It's almost four in the morning, I'm not tired, and I kind of want to watch a scary movie. But my headphones died. ):

Finally getting some sketches in this sketchblog. Yaaaay.
Thanks toeinahsketch for letting me scan stuff. Or...rather...scanning stuff for me. xD
Loooooove youuuu.



( Next Page (and many more sketches) Under the Cut! :D )

HI LIVEJOURNAL, HOW ARE YOU.
I'm bored, so I'm updating.


( Happy summer, all. I have been doing things. )

My friend Micah just got a haircut. Now he looks like Donny Osmand. And my friend Audel already looked like Donny Osmand.

THIS IS WHAT MY LIFE LOOKS LIKE.



I have to be in a play about the holocaust in an hour. ): I am too jolly.

So, it's been storming here off and on. TAKS was canceled for today, since there were roughly 70 people who made it to school today. (So many people were stuck in their houses because their streets were flooded.) Then they shut the building down at 11, so I went to the movies with Lila and Mikey.  SO THAT WAS MY FUN DAY. WOO.



Also. I need a job. Being a teenager is expensive.
I MEAN SHEEIT.

Shopping list:
Black flats for Theater and my ushering job.
($12.99)

Prom Ticket ($60.00)
I Never Saw Another Butterfly show shirt ($13.00)
The Phantom of the Opera show shirt ($14.00)
A leotard. For Phantom. I'm a ballerina. :D
(~$30.00)
( Meme! )

So, my friends einahsketch and gothicdementor and I all got together and did a little pass-the-comic type of thing. Where one person starts it, goes on for a few panels, passes it on to the next person, etc etc. It's pretty AWESOME.

einahsketch.livejournal.com/23126.html#cutid1 Careful, it's wrought with inconsistencies and foul language. BUT READ IT ANYWAYS BECAUSE IT'S COOL. It'll probably pick up again this summer. lD

AND MAYBE POSSIBLY THE THREE OF US WILL BE DOING A PODCAST REVIEWING SHITTY ANIMATED SEQUELS.

Hahah. This summer is going to be awesome.

And it's TAKS week. So I don't have to think for a few days. Just work on Phantom and watch CATS.

AND I'M USHERING FOR RENT ON FRIDAAAAAAAAAY. NOBODY CAN BRING ME DOWN, MAN. I AM PUMPED.

Later days. :D

I went to see Disney's EARTH documentary last night with Welsley to celebrate Earth Day; it was pretty good. :D
(I'd say it's like the Planet Earth series for a younger audience.)

It was really beautiful.



And it got hell of intense in parts.



It's the planet earth series--just chopped up and glued back together again. I didn't know this until I started recognizing the footage, haha. It was good, none-the-less, but still. It's nothing new if you already watch Planet Earth. Just a heads up. lD

( Aaaaargh I want to buy some comics so bad. I WOULD READ THEM SO HARD YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. )


And I'm going to the park tomorrow! So I'm going to bake some cupcakes, now.
