Well, great… zombie fatigue is setting, and vampire mania is raging widly. Found a commerical on the Disney Channel about a vampiress and 2 teenage boys training to be vampire/monster hunters.
So what's the next craze gonna be? Zombies? Demons? Elderitch Abominations (like Cthuhlu)?!? Oh, well… as long as that disaster called Transformers Kiss Players doesn't come up again… That's right. Giant Transforming Robots from the planet Cybertron… with female lovers. With Optimus Prime pairing up with Melissa Faireborne (spelling?), whose kiss can power up Optimus Prime a LOT. Too bad Megatron (the one who turns into a gun) can't get into this. He'd be one of the few transformers who could lay claim to having beautiful women hold him… and I bet that last line attracted a lot of pervs like flies… O_O

Ugh… while my supervisor didn't get what he wanted (me working all week without a day off), I still had to get one of my days off shifted but for different reasons. Looks like the guy who normally replaces me had to be shifted to another place, and he couldn't work Mondays as a result. Oh, well… Fate has a weird way at throwing bad Poker hands at people… (assuming you believe that life is like a game of Poker… every day you get dealt a new hand of cards)
I would love for there to be a Cthuhlu craze amongst teenage literature. Love stories about Cthuhlu and his teenage romance.
HAHAHHAHHAA.
Okay… I don't know what's scarier… all the tentacles involved… or the fact that teens would go insanely crazy over a "romance" story about Cthuhlu… who's got a lot of tentacles… O_O
Stressful last art project… I'm handing in my portfolio Thursday morning so I basically have tonight and tomorrow to finish this thing. But I'm stupid so I made it a lot more detailed than it needed to be, and there's no way I'll be able to get it done. I asked my art teacher about it and he was like "Just do what you can." What does that mean?! Will I be docked marks or not? Gah!
The other problem is that it's quite a bit bigger than what I usually work with, and it doesn't properly fit in my carrying thing or my easel. So I have to hold it up with my left hand while painting with my right, and now my arm is killing me. I think tomorrow I'll just paint on the floor.
(Hey, um, I went to bed right after I posted last night…. then went to work and slept again because I'm sick. I just read the responses I got to my post. Thanks everyone for the kind words. : ) and also how did you find my dA page? lololololololol That guy's my friend and he had good point, however, I'm not a fan of dresden codak. >> )

@ Hippie Van: Teachers love it when you go above and beyond, even if you don't finish by the due date.
Also… can you lean your project against the wall? Might be more comfortable than the floor or holding it up!
With all the kids going totally insane everytime they see anything of the Cthulhu mythos be strange. You could go a lot more erotic and verge on the perverted.
I played the Call of Cthulhu RPG a lot when I was younger. The sick sexual stuff was always just under the surface. But all the characters got viciously killed or went completely insane before we ever had a chance to make out with a Deep One or get felt up by the Elder Race (who also have tentacles) I remember having the blouse of my female character ripped up by a razor sharp tentacles a couple of times.
She was a rarity among CofC characters because she never went insane and didn't get killed.
If you're not careful you could end up with a nudity ridden slasher film like Reanimator or From Beyond.
Had school photos today, and I pinned back my butchered fringe, so I didn't have a partial bowl cut, though I still looked like a drowned rat. Sat down the front because I'm a shorty, and had to sit next to the head of the Senior school. He was standing off to the side, and all of a sudden, he started talking but looking at me, and I said: "Haha, oh you baggin' out the way I look sir?" And he laughs and goes: "No, you just look really messy, I don't want to sit next to you because you'll make me look bad!"
I laughed it off and there was a bit of joking about it, me saying stuff like: "Haha, oh man, I'm so upset now, I'm going to go home and cry about how I look, haha."
Then a girl turned around and said in all seriousness, "I feel more sorry for Him than you I'm afraid." The Senior head was like: "OUCH, wait, that was actually mean."
And now I feel terrible…

Oh sweet, my comic was just randomly mentioned in the Quackcast, I heard it and had to rewind to make sure I heard it right. It was the Genres one (that's right, I don't listen to stuff in order, EVER.) Apparently, Oz and Skool can't decide what genre it is.
It's a Western.
Obviously.
I just haven't bothered with the cowboy hats and gun fights and shit. :)
You could go a lot more erotic and verge on the perverted.
Somehow, every single teen drama I can think of and include it somehow end up really really perverted in some way.

What did I tell you about those anime eyes and and marine cephalopods of the order Teuthida?
They never listen :( ———–
I said magical reality/slice of life/autobio! You're Gabriel Garcia Marquez mixed with Salman Rushdie and Bridget Jones… Maybe? ^^

I have so much to do before I can get ready to jet off to the US for a month's holiday in July, starting with Comic Con in San Diego… It's so daunting, it's hard to contemplate it all. T_T
Simples, I've been stalking you for ten years now and know EVERYTHIUNG about you whether you know it or not.
Fixed.
Might be something wrong with my guitar so I'm kinda pissed right now. Keeps going out of tune on ONE STRING and it did it in the middle of my Guitar Class final so…still got a 100 though. :P

I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself!
*looks down at clothes to suddenly find she's wearing a skimpy sailer outfit*
WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
APART FROM LOOKING ABSOLUTELY DASHING IN THIS SAILOR COSTUME AND HAVING A SUDDEN URGE TO SHOUT "SUPER KAWAII!"?!

As I don't know who those people are (apart from Bridget Jones) the only thing I will say in relation to this is that Rushdie guy has a cool name and I pronounced it as "Salmon".
Ack! Dangerous. What you need is a change of genres. ;)
I prescribe giant Robo fighting mecha for you ASAP. And if that fails, I'm afraid there's no other option- It'll have to be Pokeballs. I recommend you start with a Charmander.
Apparrently, I'm the only person who still thinks that you need to date at least a couple of times before getting to first base and believes that dating a 15 year old is wierd.
Dude, when I was in high school I knew 15 year olds that were preggers. First base is just… cute. ;) Although I confess you just made me simultaneously nostalgic for the simpler times, and exceedingly thankful that those simpler times are long in the past. Funny how that works.

I want all the resources of an adult, but all the responsibility of a 16 year old! -
in good news, i just transferred the most money ever from my regular account into my savings account, from a non deployment related paycheck!

*uses his computer's remote programming abilities to shift OFAV's imaginary powers so she's now wearing a skimpy Valkyrie's Uniform, complete with massive shoulder/hip armor plating and a very large and godlike spear*
Yeah… for some odd reason I don't think the Japanese Sailor Schoolgirl uniform fits her very well…
That's right. Magical Scepters, Elemental Powers, Flying Tiaras, and the powers of Friendship and Love are no match for big Viking weapons and the Beserker Rage some of them are known for. But they can still be stopped with heavy firepower. :)

Welcome to the world of Paris Hilton… with the added bonus of a 16 year old brain as well ;) -No offence to actual 16 year olds
I like being an adult way better. Even with the responsibilities, it's still cooler and there's waaay more you can do. As an adult the possibilities are more open, nothing is closed off to you, whereas as a kid so many things are denied to you, so many things you just can't get to do or would be a very bad idea to do… (sex and stuff like that is only a teeny part of it).
The wide eye-d innocent, learning about the world aspect of it was good though, but you can only do that once.
There's something cyclical and profound to watching my own children conquer their innocence day by day. It's at the same time empowering and discouraging – to know that a little piece of me lives on into the next generation.
I don't think I could ever bring myself to desire childhood again, no more than I could desire fast-forwarding to my retirement. Each stage of life is mysterious and enlightening. And I'm beginning to find that the pace is just right.
But if you really want to relive your childhood (all the good parts, anyway) then have kids. You get to relive the best stuff through them anyway.
Life's a wheel and it just keeps on turning. :)

Either a surplus of Hypnotists or a surplus of misdiagnosis on your part.
[Edit]
In retrospect, you've probably been the recipient of many jibes concerning hypnosis, seeing as it's a field few people know anything about. Like myself for example.
So I'll go ahead and take the bait (mostly because I am curious at this point):
What on Earth do you mean most people are living in a hypnotic state?
He means- people deluded into thinking an acting in conventional ways… Kyu's idea is that most people are sheep, only doing certain things and acting in certain ways because they have been lead to believe it's normal and accepted, even when those behaviours go against their personal interests. -Stuff like finding a partner, getting married, having kids etc. Also voting, believing what the press, church and government tell you, all that sort of thing.
I think that about sums it up, doesn't it Kyu? :)
…
Personally, I don't really agree with him. I mean, conceptually he has a point and it's one that philosophers, intellectuals and artists have tried to make for a very, very long time. But the trouble is that he seems to take it far too literally.
That's what i took it to mean. While I agree that many people are sheep, I also believe it's part of human nature. I think many would argue that people who don't act in that manner are technically insane/crazy/whatever.

The Matrix was an exceptionally eye-opening movie for many.
I think asking these questions is a good exercise for just about everybody, and at different points in your life.
As kids there's a point when all of a sudden we realize that our parents are – just people? It happens at different ages: 8? 12? Lots of rebellion because one's universe gets redefined. And as we go along and find that things are not quite what we thought they were, and the universe is constantly re-defined, and as these things start adding up, I suggest that the big question we ask, then, is who the hell am I?
so many of these questions about the outside world serve as groundwork for discovering who we ourselves are.
as long as the navel-gazing doesn't take up too much time, imo, it's a good exercise. It's very difficult to have a fair concept of any one else if you don't have a realistic concept about your self.
