I'm trapped in a drunken form of humor only fixable by copius amounts of sleep and silly dreams about custard.
Of stuff smelly old Custard- HH is back!
I've officially been workin' on "The Hub" for a full yearCongrats :)
Word to ya mutha.I've always wondered what that really meant, so I finally got the internet to tell me-
I love it when some little piece of shit with a degree, but no real world experience, would try and tell me ~I~ am wrong. Yeah? I've got six years experience in the real world, kid, who the fuck are you?
That's because people who produce excellence which makes sense scares people. I can't tell you how many times in the past I've had managers do everything they can to try and get me to quit since I was doing a better job than they were. It scared them into thinking I wanted their worthless job (yeah, really, like I wanted to be the manager at Macy's…give me a break).
I got pulled over this morning >w> It's kinda funny the reaction to a cop car
1. Look up in mirror, not expecting cop car
2. have that weird guttwist because he's right there flashing at youuuu
3. look back at the road quickly
4. glance back at the mirror to see if he's still there
5. shit he's still there
6. repeat until pulling off to the roadside
He was really nice though and i only go a warning. It's weird how i have this mental image of hardass serious cops from TV, and then around here they're really friendly and nice :/
Ah well at least it wasn't speeding this time i've been good with that.

The feature comics have been really awesome lately, i've been actually reading almost all of them this past month.
Is megaupload doing some free download thingie? I don't have a paid account and there's not wait timer, really fast speeds and i can download as many files as i want at a time. Yay free stuff~~!
An ice cream truck drove away from me today. There I was, ten pound note clutched in my sweaty little hand, anticipation on my face, and she sold ice cream to the people in front of me, looked at me, smiled and shrugged, and then drove away!
Also, I went to see Les Miserables. And it was so good. Like so ridonculously good. I wish I could see shows like that back home.
Unfortunately I sat next to some drunk woman who spilled wine on my leg at the beginning and proceeded to hiccup and almost barf throughout the rest of the show. And sing along at some points. I mean, she came to the play that way. Why wouldn't you just go home at that point? It was an expensive musical, why would you bother even buying tickets if you're going to get so wasted you'll spend the entire show either passed out or trying not to hurl?
This is one of those times I halfway regret the decision to go to a major 4 year universtity. I'm halfway through and the economy has suddenly changed my loan status from "throw money at him!" to "kill him for even suggesting we give out a loan". Last year they threw $15 G's down like it was nuthin'. Now, they don't even want to think about giving me the half of that amount I requested, without Don Trump cosigning my shit. I'm a little worried that I might be stuck with half a degree, a minimum wage job, and the prospect of having to start paying it off without the benefit of the degree to help me get a decent job.
Last year I was just worried that I was going to have to take out so much, now I'm worried about not even being able to get it at all. All I need is a lousy $5000 to have tuition. The other $2500 was just for course fees and the off chance I find myself without a job. I could cut that off if necessary.
So my ex-best friend wrote a huge journal on DA trying to get me to be her friend again, mostly because she needs someone to bitch to about her life. I feel like I'm breaking up with a boyfriend… "I don't think we bring out the best in each other" tch.
God, I need a break from my friends. I can't stand the constant whining about their love lives. It makes me overly conscious about my own love life which is going pretty slowly right now. Normally I'd be okay with that, because I don't feel that I need a boyfriend to make my life complete, but they treat penis like oxygen. They never listen to my advice either. I tell them to move on or that maybe said person isn't right for them, they plug their ears and act like I have no idea what I'm talking about despite the fact that I've been in two very… educational relationships. I find myself giving them hope and shit when there's obviously no hope just because I don't want them to be mad at me for telling them what they don't want to hear. Then when I finally ditch them for treating me crappily, they come stalking after me and apologising because nobody else wants to listen to their bullshit.
Not to mention when I try to talk about my interests, all I get back is "Oh my God, Grace, there's more to talk about then your comic and religions and other stuff that matters to you but not to me, GOD." Sigh. Thank God I have a sister.
I'm trying to get my 2 cats (in the US) over to the UK. It's somewhat complicated and certainly expensive, and I hired a company to manage the whole paperwork end so I don't have to do all that from 5000 miles away. I hadn't heard from them since June so I emailed the other day to ask them how things were going (the cats fly in September so time is running out), and they tell me 'oh we sent the forms in June, no one has sent us anything or asked us any questions. Can you please call them and find out what is going on.' Did it not occur to them that they should, for the $450 I am paying them, follow up on these forms they sent with the contact info they asked for? Notice that forms weren't coming in, and make a few calls to remind people to do them? Why are they asking me to find out what is going on?
So I politely bitched them out (a nicer version of 'what am I paying you for, anyway, if I have to do all the checking up and middle managing from England?' ) and they say 'we can't fill out the documents for them, all we can do is light a fire under them'. Well YES that is what I WANT them to do, I've wanted them to do it this whole time. So after that, they send an e-mail to the people asking 'hey guys, need some documents soon.' Oh okay. They just needed to be reminded that I am paying them to do what they were asking me to do.
Man, now I'm gonna go to bed grumpy. >:[
Phew - turns out the ladies of Bramblethorne Academy haven't gone for good after all; they're just being 're-tooled'!

Edit - this post was originally posted twice, hence the following comment from Ochitsukania, who has little or no chance of becoming a responsible adult. At least, let's hope not.
So passionate about the subject, the post goes up a second time?

Anyhow! I'm employed now, and after this week I'll have completed my minor studies. This is all good news; my elaborate masquerade of responsible adulthood continues to improve apace! Maybe when it at last comes to fruition, I'll be an actual responsible adult! o_o

So I woke up at like, 6 today. Because I couldn't fall back asleep. Good news is, I almost have another page penciled.
Bad news is…uh…there really is none.
But still. I'm just hoping I won't be tired the rest of the day xD
I'll probably just finish penciling this page, then maybe work out after I ink the panel borders, and all that?
I'd have thought that all you guys would be well used to that, having served in the armed forces. After all, what else is an officer but what you describe?
-particularly a junior officer.
Wow. I'm an idiot.
I was just over at Webcomicz.com and they have a banner at the top of the page where you can pay 6$ for the month and have your comics image pop up randomly with page loads, so I figured I'd try it out to boost traffic a bit.
Well, it turns out that I didn't follow directions properly and instead of sponsoring my own comic I ended up sponsoring some other kids for the month.
It's not like the 6$ is gonna break me, and I would've been totally fine sponsoring a comic if it was something good and original that was looking to find an audience. Unfortunately It was for a poorly drawn and written gamer comic. (The horror, The horror!)
Oh well.
I dislike Papyrus font. And Chiller, but not so much as I dislike Papyrus. I see Papyrus font used EVERYWHERE.
Also, I'm a little annoyed at people who hate on sexual themes in comics (well, I'm annoyed with anyone who hates on comics for any reason, but for controversial conversation, let me continue), for the reason that they generate more hits then the comics of those who are in question.
My eyes see, "They're just using sex to get hits!" But I think there is a big difference between sexual comics VS a hot model in a car commercial, thus what I read is, "I'm either not advertising my own comic enough, it's not interesting enough to get carried around by word of mouth or I'm simply just not giving the biggest demograph on the internet what they want, so I am angry at those more successful – by being more attuned to the demographic desires of webcomics, sexual or other, or, like me, they are doing what they enjoy, but what they produce is more attuned (meaning the creator didn't create the product on the knowledge that it would generate more hits, but it effects are the same) – then myself."
And, "I once made comics for the sake of making comics, because I love them, but have lost sight of my original ideals and goals, and now only have a horizon for my stats page."
While I acknowledge that not a lot of people try and create something to appeal to the biggest demograph of available readers – we create what we, ourselves, are into, and would like to read if someone else was making it –, I don't appreciate the subtle hate because you're too greedy for your own, personalized fan base.
I think the real bottom line here is that if you're making comics for HITS … there's something wrong with you. Not me.
I'm sure you don't want to advice of someone who makes said sexual comics, but if you do…
Forget about the page views, and enjoy making comics for the sake of making comics.
And for your information, I enjoy reading shonen manga much more then I enjoy reading erotica comics.
Augh i've been in a really bitter/somber mood lately. Maybe that's why i've been doing a literal non-stop marathon of lighthearted anime (k-on, toradora, kanememo, faggot party, GA art design, etc)
or….or..maybe i'm in a crappy mood because i've been doing nothing all day but watching these disgustingly cute crap fests! :gem: No wonder anime nerds are so bitter and horrid online…
I'm going to clean my room insanely good today to cleanse myself.
Skullbie, I recommend Sketchbook ~full color'S~ (Yeah, it's supposed to be written out like that) if you want a good pick-me-up animu. It's a slice-of-life about drawing and cats, and the opening is enough for me to go from :gem: to :whistling:
I was going to rant about losing a ton of my work and having to redo two days of working on it, but then I listened to some calming music and I feel…serene.
Or drugged up.
