Ah, page 34. About 8 more pages until this chapter is done (My god, this is long and it's only chapter 2! ). Oh wait…9 pages since I went back and added another page for fun @__@. I'm trying to increase my computer time so I can get more than two pages up a week, but that's proving to be difficult.

I thought my sis supported me a bit in this comic. Sure, she kicks me off the computer at the worsts times, but tonight she actually had the nerve to see me working on this page and say "Why can't I get on? You're not doing anything important."
*shakes fist* THAT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO THE RINA-RAN! rawr…
Least there was no big fight. I was able to just shoo her away by not answering her.

The Zoomlines died! eep. Not the ones beind Rale of course, they're still there. But I had all these curvy zoomy lines on the cloth the sword was in to show it getting unraveled because Fox threw it out…but they got ugly so I had to hire a hitman to destroy them (the eraser tool). And yeah, Rale's sword is golden. It's not made out of gold, but it looks it.

I recovered a few patterns and stamps (yay). Made sure to get the patterns for Rale and Fox right away. I use certain ones for jacket, hair, and fur. And I found out using the patterns for shadow looks better than the solid colors I used on the last few pages (but they looked good on Lugia).

And I'm working on drawing swords and fire. Because Fox IMed me on TSL telling me I needed to practice drawing that element. I've been drawing water so much, I guess fire got a little tricky for me. heh..

As for my life, I know the saying "Try to please everyone and you only wind up displeasing yourself.", and sometimes I go by it. But ya know…sometimes it's pleasing people that makes me happy. And when I can't make people happy, I feel depressed. I'm kind of caught in the middle now so my head feels floaty and I get fatigued quickly. Been really tired lately…

But I don't wanna sleep! It's such a waste of life. Besides Driving school, I've been playing Legend of Zelda: Windwaker. Oh, I love the game *drools* Link was smexy in OoT (and he is in Twilight Princess *can't wait for that game* ) but the WW Link is SOOOO CUTE! Big eyes and fluffy hair! And since I beat the game, I'm playing again when he's wearing his pjs throughout the whole game. Love the Crawfish! I love Link! lol

And when I don't feel like making my hands work, I've got a lot of new anime from pawn shops and stuff. (I can't believe ppl pawn this treasure! lol)
If ya'll ever have time, check 'em out:

-Angel Sanctuary
-Peacemaker
-Blue Submarine 06
-.Hack//SIGN and .Hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet
-Monster Rancher
-Last Exile
-Banner of the Stars
-Jing: King of Bandits (okz, this wasn't from a pawn shop, but I rewatched my collection this week. It's so overlooked! Someone cherish this anime/manga as much as I do! Please! X3 )

And I just recently got into watching Naruto on tv. So disappointing after you read the manga. But good…I guess. W.I.T.C.H. and Digimon were much missed shows as well, so I'm glad to be seeing them again.

And man…I typed a lot. Guess I was in a talkative mood. lol But yes, I want to get ahead of myself on this, so If I wind up updating on a Monday or a Tuesday, look out.
