hey guys!! :D

vote for me on TWC to see a fanart I did for "The Hub"; it's cute and funny? PLZZZZ!!!!!!!!!


OK… sorry this page is so late. I have been to hell and back (aka, finals!! :O!!). Thankfully it's all over, and I passed all my classes (whew!) actually there was this one class where I got a D (yes, a D) on a paper, the worst grade I've ever gotten ever on a paper in my whole entire life– because I "didn't follow directions", meaning my paper itself was fine & dandy, (and if I may say, a pretty damn good paper!)… anyway, I calculated and the highest grade I could get in the class was a "B", and that would be if I got an A, not even an A-, on the final paper. (I was secretly worried that I would fail the class, and then I wouldn't have a spanish major..!! noooes) And I got a B in the class, so yay? Actually, no two ways around it, a B is always bad. grr. I also got a B+ in another class, which was vaguely upsetting, if not completely unexpected. I didn't do any of the readings, really, and just drew my comic during class, and hardly said a word otherwise. But I got A's in my other three classes, and my GPA only went down a tiny bit, not enough to change the "cum laude" or whatever thingy that I get on my diploma. so, relief.

oh, er, I'm graduating (gradu-dancin'!) college this weekend.. D: wow.. and this morning I helped max move out of his dorm, and I've still gotta pack, and, and! *worries etc* So if my next update isn't very soon, you'll know why. [whiny voice]I have soo much stuff to do…..[/whiny voice]

And max and I are going to ocean city, MD next week! my mom, of course, is suddenly against it (as of today, even though she knew beforehand), in a weak effort to protect my purity or something. but, we already booked the econo-lodge!! ;}

I'm kind of sad, because.. well, I'm so used to having max around 24/7, and tonight he was back at his house (he lives in friendship heights, only 20 minutes away on the metro) and when I got a sudden case of the cuddlies, he wasn't around :( so I consoled myself by listening to sappy indie brit-pop (read: Voxtrot's "The Start of Something" on repeat… GOOD SONG, listen to it if you've never heard it!)

Oh, and heh, heh, in other news, the great hulking zombie misfit assassins is revived from the dead! check it out… :D

oh, ps, about this page, sorry it's so half-assed, I just couldn't stand to go another day without posting (it's like crack!!!) and this was a reeeally hard page because I couldn't just la-di-da draw, I had to use references for most panels. Damn me for having this comic take place in a non-fiction location. And *tour guide voice* if you look in the bg of panel 1, there's Gediminas' Tower again! (it was in the ref photo I used! ;)!!)

k thx luv yous
