Americans like to turn things into themed, cartoony style events :)That face… makes me feel at fault for something.eat corned beef and cabbage and drink green beer dayPersonally, I should call it E.C.B.A.C.A.D.G.B. dayIll ask what this means since thats the reason it was unabbreviated.
They're a very excitable, celebratory, exuberant, extrovert culture in a lot of ways.
The green beer idea has always seemed mildly horrific (for the beer's sake) and vaguely anti-Irish to me for some reason…
I'm so worried.…This seems to go against what I know of the discipline? o_O

Vaguely anti-Irish? and then I realized that some beers are amber which has a vague relationship to orange.
Irish don't drink American beer because it's like Asbury Park NJ, damn close to water. Harp and Guinness.
This holiday was kind of like "HEY you filthy non-Irish bugger I'M IRISH" DAY! Which started among the Irish immigrants because everyone who was already here hated them.
So they wanted their own ethnic holiday. So St. Patrick is the patron saint of Eire so he's our day here in the new land of Ameriker. This really got moving when the USA got around to importing Irish to fight our wars for us around 1840. The American Army of the Mexican American War and American Civil War were nearly as Irish as Wellington's Penninsular Army. One third of the force was Irish often recent emigrants speaking in a brogue and many in Gaelic. Wearing the green was the way to tell an Irishman. The Army of Northern Virginia and The Army of the Potomac both had Irish Brigades. (Conversely there had been orange regiments in the American Revolution who fought against the Redcoats a large percentage of whom were Irish)
St Patrick's Day is a way to remember how because of all that the Irish became American. But since I'm descended from English settlers who got here in 1612 I don't have an ethnic holiday. All these damn immigrants messing up the country my forefathers hacked out of the primeval forest.
Holy fucking shit I just saw the worst fucking picture jesus fucking christ. And it was a pic spam off 4chan too. My stomach is churning and I seriously think i'm going to vomit.
And no i'm not fucking being sarcastic and saw 'natalie portman nipple slip' or something uuuuuhhghhh why do i still have eyes

St Patrick's day, to me, is for Ireland, not an Irish theme day. But each to their own- All cultures are different and do things in their own way. So go with themes or whatever feels right to you. ^_^

Selective blindness helps me.
A great ability to have. Prevents one from having certain memories from being burnt into their brains for the rest of their lives. Doesn't always work though… such as when I went to investigate some strange sounds in a stairewell only to find two guys going at it like…
Nevermind. Better not to traumatize anyone else with my own memories… x_x
Now if only I could stop listening to a song I found on the Y-Tube… "Catch Your Fall" by Clokx. Nice singer though. Still trying to figure out what the song means, though perhaps some songs were made just to be enjoyed for what they are without any meaning to them…

Watch that miniseries The Irish in America. It's part of being a nation made up of a whole pile of nationalities who are seperate communities but part of a greater whole. And those groups like to feel special and at times I envy them that. But considering I do such a magnificent Irish accent I be having few problems. I just don't mention that incredibly classic English last name of mine.

I'm up to acceptance. I've seen everything and there's nothing new under the sun and I just say "So what's the big deal?"
"But, but, but"
Damn you sound like an outboard motor, spit it out or keep your peace (and mine).

Considering that St Patrick was a major force in ridding Ireland of its Druidic culture and Good People, it IS ironic that St Patrick's Day has come to mean "Irish Day".
And considering that it's a Catholic Saint's Day, more irony that Americans celebrate it by eating beef during Lent and bringing out leprechauns with pots 'o' gold and shillelagh.
But as Bravo was pointing out, it's the day that the Irish-Americans have set aside as their heritage day. I'd rather observe Yeat's birthday as an Irish heritage day, but no one put it to a vote.
Today I started taking all-natural happy pills.
Yay.
I also:
1) Got really pissed off that a teacher refuses to accept that I'm not like the other people she gets in her singing groups and also not to respect that,
2) Talked about getting pregnant with a cum covered banana and then losing the banana inside the person's vagina,
3) And updated two days in a row on a new comic by a side account of mine that probably is going to be hated by everyone because it's a sprite comic, thus pretty much revealing what it is I suppose but frankly my dear I don't give a damn.
And…END RANT.
Okay, here's something that annoys me.
People my age are getting worse and worse.
Like, on the way to school there's a bunch of smokers that go there and they're just swearing at eachother in words ive never heard of, and there's this boy who i think is tweleve, hes in my art and cooking class, who smokes and (apparently) does drugs. But it annoys me how everyone thinks it's cool to walk like they've wet themselves, deface the school walls and swear at their friends. Why!?

Naw but it was really gross and i don't even want to inflict it on others.
Also did you send me a PQ? There was just a blank reply…I think we broke it lol
God damnit. Aronfsky dropped out of doing the Wolverine movie, so the hope that we'd finally get a good X-men film is back to being zero.
Also the whole set of Kids in the Hall is 37 dollars on Amazon. As much as I like this here new Pokemon game, I could have spent the same amount and gotten a series I've been wanting for a long time now. Teaches me to stop checking the price daily. I just hope it'll be back down to around as much by my birthday. I wish 3rd Rock From the Sun would get cheaper too.
Ugh…. my father wants me married… NOW. It doesn't matter who… even a woman right off the street will do. And he also wants me to give him grandchildren. For me it's not gonna be easy. Being nearly 40 now, if it didn't happen long ago it's not gonna happen. I know he's getting old but still… I guess when you get "closer to being six feet under" due to growing old you want to have lots of grandchildren. Still though… this is a tall order (for me anyway). Didn't help that my mother kept me away from women (and kept women away from me) when she was alive.
heh… if I did that I'd send him to his grave a bit too early.
I'm also afraid of this…

*just kidding. women are nice… just have to find the right one* :)
*just kidding. women are nice… just have to find the right one* :)
It's really not that hard: usually I find when a guy says he can't find the right woman, it's more to do with his own unreasonable expectations/demands. For instance, imagine a situation where you and your partner are discussing how to decorate a room - she wants lime green, you want olive. Can you believe that there are guys out there who would actually try to find some compromise, midway shade, instead of just painting the room the exact lime green she wanted? And they wonder why they're single?! Unbelievable.

Yay - nobody hates my new Emily England art style! :)
Thanks! Well instead of my usual painted style, I inked the whole thing with a dark colour instead of pure black, then coloured under that in a kind of painty style, adding some tone and shadow, but quickly! There's only a few places where I used an opaque paint layer. I was trying to keep it as close as possible with only a fraction of the time I'd usually take.
Yay - nobody hates my new Emily England art style! :)Yeah- I'm on the list of folks that dig it. Ozone's comment about genital shrivelingly good art is pretty spot on. Like, any given style is going to have strengths and weaknesses over others. I think the biggest thing that jumped out at me is the tonal quality of the colors. In the original approach, it's absolutely phenomenal. With the latest page, the highlights aren't quite as bright and the shadows aren't quite as dark. The linework compensates for most of that by giving that extra bit of visual definition, so the new technique is still balanced- but if you want a little more consistency between the techniques, I'd recommend popping that element just a little more.
Lol. Now I kinda want to go back to art school and slap my teachers for training me to say that. It was always "tonal value this" or "tonal value that." No wonder I work in high contrast black and white now :p

About 55 pages were roughly scripted by yesterday afternoon. I'm hoping to have most of this book scripted today and start penciling by next week.

I woke up with a hangover. Which is a shame, because I kinda wanted to wake up with a hangover *and* regrets.
