Hm. I'm getting my computer back tomorrow, and I might re-do this page. The top looks blurry. Gee, I don't know why I thought it looked up to par when I did it…
oh well.
Today was lame. I was at a funeral all day. D: makes me worry about my own special day. I hope I will have garnered some sort of achievement by that point. By which I mean, artistic achievement. Not all published authors are like, Pulitzer prize winners- I wouldn't mind having just one book amidst thousands of others. I just want to have something tangible (and well-done) when I die. And I would rather not have a funeral. What a drag those are. I wouldn't want to subject friends and family to boredom, hushed voices, uncomfortable shoes and the sight of my dead body on display. No, I'd rather just have a burial (on a gloomy, overcast fall day) and an awesome gravestone. Something cool carved on it.

Hm, odd tangent.

Well, here's this page, la di da. Notice how the father's hand is pudgy and small and not-manly? heh, that's cause I used my own hand as a reference. AND CAN'T YOU FEEL THE TENSION?? WHO IS THAT KNOCKING??!!

and to all you who wrote reviews for me, thank you very much. I am touched that I have such considerate readers. And to all you who are working on fanarts, thank you so much too. I'm excited to see.

OK! TTYL!!!
