I don't want to sleep. If I sleep, I have to wake up afterwards. And when I wake up, I'm going to have to study for like a bajillion hours, and I'm running on empty. Totally regret playing Pokemon non-stop last week. Well, not totally.

Seems everyone is busy studying or something… THIS THREAD IS EMPTY!
Well, empty is not the right word, but there have been only a couple of posts.
I hope it's not because of me!

Speaking of me: Good art day! THREE pages colored. That means I have only three pages to go. I think it's time to start thinking of what I'm drawing next.

Thesis for most American colleges is happening during this month, and most of the public schools are in their run-up to finals and the end of classes too. This happens every year at the end of the terms.

I'm beginning to realize just how much bad karma I've gone and stored up over the years. I spent most of my time since junior high being an absolute dick to anyone who ever even began to spend time around me, and since I decided I'm going to try and act like an adult and be pleasant to people, I'm getting to see all of it coming back over the fence now. I'm of the feeling that I should suck it up and take it because I went ahead and gave people so much crap for so long, and maybe if I'm lucky I'll get to make some lasting changes in how I interact with the people around me. Maybe I might even get to be that guy that a lot of people want to be around if I work at it. I just know that I can't exactly tell the people around me that I've decided to try and take this initiative.

Surprisingly, yeah. I am. I've been working really hard in school everyday lately, because usually this is where I get really lazy and kind of quit. But I can't, so I'm working even harder. And I'm also staying after school (well, yesterday then today again) to work on this online test thing for Geometry, because I failed this one chapter and just now got around to working on it.
Thankfully after all this is done (school this year, I mean) I only have to worry about one more year. The summer is gonna be a very very fun one, because I'm going to make it fun! :D
Anyway. My rant is about Facebook. I got a friend request yesterday, and let me post some of the statuses that make me try and guess if it's fake or not.
I'm afraid I might crash early tonight. I feel so sleepy.So far, not bad. Seems like she's real.
MAKE SURE U FRISK ME GOOD CHECK MY PANTIES N MY BRA… ;-) HAHA JKUhh…strong whore. But still, could be real.
@ prviate Hey John here's my private pcitures I took last night. you must sign up for access (link)AH-HA! I KNEW IT. SHE IS FAKE! ….but I still kind of want to click the link.
Yet I'm afraid to because I feel like it's a trap.
Also, I actually got some work on my website done, so I feel rather proud of myself. I just need to finish up the main page here (which I'll hopefully be able to do today), then start on all the other pages, which shouldn't be too bad. It's just hard to come up with cool ideas. :C
Today I started cleaning my room. Bad mistake,my desk has been stacked with rubish for so long that I actually found some stuff that stuck to the desk because of compression bedand whatnot. I found out today that I don't have carpet, Which was a big surprise because I c on my ould have sworn there used to be carpet there once…
Later I started dusting the shelves, picking all the comic books, DVDs, CDs and all the other nerdy stuff up and throwing it on my bed.
It didn't fit on my bed. I have too much stuff.
I did get a chance to rearrange the furniture though, I finally got rid of my crappy homemade TV-Stand.
It was a hard day.
And Ryu. Facebook Sucks.
Ah, so it IS school stuff… Good luck to all the students then, may they succeed and repopulate this thread with stuff to read (and so that I don't feel like every 4th post is mine anymore, haha) :D

I must be crazy. Not only have I not finished the last three pages yet, no, I'm actually pondering on pulling out the 30 page (well, 28 page actually) script I wrote and STILL attempting to draw it entirely in one week!
Not only that, but I came up with a new b&w idea, a "speed-drawing", semi-improvised fantasy comic with a character I drew when I was a kid. Think Moebius (Airtight Garage being fully improvised) meets Go Nagai (drawing a lot of pages very fast) meets Conan. Except of course I won't be as good as any of the mentioned.
Will I draw it? Maybe. Maybe not. Last week I came up with a new idea too, developed it a bit and now it's another loosely formed project to haunt me with a "when the hell will I have the time to finish all the damned ideas" thought. Still, learning to draw figures fast (my aim is 1 minute per basic figure on this one) might be very good for me. And I miss the days when I just opened a notebook and drew and drew and drew page after page…

Facebook Sucks.QFT.
My work computer monitor died… Great big old CRT monster, massive and heavy. I switched it for an LCD on anther machine. It's weird not having my work desk dominated by that gigantic thing. I've keep my work desk clear so I've always had heaps of room despite the big old monitor. But now the space is endless… with this poor little 15 inch LCD sitting there all lonely, propped up on an old Corel Draw boxin the middle all by itself. :(
Heh, my work computer setup is so quaint. But I keep it running as well as it possibly can. Fastest and most secure machine in the entire office. By a good margin.
I pretty much click on comic collab forums out of pure force of habit right now and it still blows my mind that a 'writer' looking for an artist makes ads like this;
"basically i need two people to do a weekly manga o its about crazy adventures at school anser back if intereested"
I can just feel someone arguing 'speling has nothing to do wit writng ability!'. But it does, it really does.
On a less pretentious note i'm helping out in a yuri dating sim thing and watching anime with my friend again. Yay who needs study time ^_^
But seriously i have two tests next week. 
Wow… I'm trying to get my drawing skills up to speed again so I can start drawing Magiversity and one of my friends was asking me about how magic worked in that world…. and kinda… sorta… blew up. All I'll say about it for now is that humans have a special sort of magic that is self produced and does not depend on some sort of outside source for energy. That's the part he got upset at. Then again, he also loves elves and they're extinct in Magiversity (thanks to their attempt at exterminating Humanity and the special magic that they're able to use). He's also bothered that while his beloved elves would have trouble in a magic dead world, human magic will function just fine. Human magic also doesn't fizzle, blow up or outright kill the person using it… it just doesn't work. And while it's got restrictions (all humans generate this magic, but most can't use it) he things it should be MORE restricted than elf magic…
And he apparently doesn't get the message… it's MY comic. I'll do what I want with it.
hehe… funny moment in Rune Factory Frontier. Your character is in the men's side of the bathhouse and you hear (in full voice) the conversation from the womens side. The one I heard sorta went like this (not exact wording, but I'm not going to try getting it again)…
Mist- "I've always thought this, but your legs look delicious, Rosetta."
Rosetta- "Because they're smooth and beautiful? Thank you.
Mist- "No, because they're thick and chunky."
Rosetta- "!!"
I don't normally laugh when playing games, but it's the way the actresses played that part… hehehe…
Math class drives me crazy. The teachers always do the same thing…they give you notes with an easy examples, then when they give you that day's homework the first question is the same as in your notes, and then the rest are progressively harder ones that the notes you took give you no idea of how to do.
My laptop was making loud noises yesterday. I'm going to back it up right now, but I hope it doesn't die on me just yet. Maybe there's something up with the fan.
Thanks Aurora Borealis!
I love me. I just finished up E2020 today, even after a long-tiring day of school, then I came home to actually do my homework. I'm so proud of myself.
And I've kept true to the no pop thing, still. So I'm also proud of myself for that.
Today is gym day, I'm excited for that. Hopefully eating better will have increased my energy a bit (lol sounds like a video game)
Aaaaand working on a comic in school (one I actually had planned to do before, but talked to the teacher, probably already mentioned this lol) and it's coming out amazing. It's like, it actually looks really good. I'm trying to really up it up here with it. I can't wait to start coloring the pages though, so I just gotta wait!
Also. Website designing, not my thing.
That was some night! Three pages colored again. The comic is done and now I'm sitting around, too tired to do anything, too awake to fall asleep, pondering what project I should tackle next.Hah! Well I've been colouring the same page for the past 5 months!
Beat that.
Oh.
You just did… :(
Today is going to be a rather tired day. I worked out like epically yesterday, and managed to go up in bench press/shrugs/squats, then there's always the brain tired because I had to stay after school.
Le sigh. At least this week is already over, then I can focus all my energy on my artwork/website.
The sad part is, I need my friend's help to get to FTP to my site. And now I'm debating between using WordPress or just using a light CMS (I think that's what she referred it as).
The difference is the layout and the ability to actually just upload right onto my site. I mean my comics, that is.
Otherwise I'll be here at DD or somewhere else (I might dual-upload)
Dog bath timecomplaint winner, hands down.
You've never tried to wash a cat.

I just did a quick workout for the first time in months and I feel good. I know I'm going to hurt come tomorrow, but it was satisfying seeing that I can still bench a good 140 after not having used those muscles like that since December.

Good news: You won't go blind from all that electromagnetic radiation the CRT puts out.
Bad news: You're gonna be sweating from the heat output of that LCD. :)
