I made a quiz on facebook, just FILLED with foul language. Apparently it's the third most popular quiz on the quiz server now, and I have people adding me as a friend from all over the world.
"we love you
my friends and i
we really like you a lot
not being creepy
well maybe we are
but we really like your quiz"
a message from a girl in new york. This might just get out of hand…
Ha, what kind of quiz is it?
After all this talk about gas, someone really should declare an "All clear"
All clear, all clear, all clear. Confirmation Lima Delta.
The crap you're exposed to in industry and art are not usually the same stuff you'd be exposed to on the battlefield. Gas shells don't have Methyl ethyl ketone or toulene and really nasty distillates (lacquer— I love the smell of lacquer thinner – oooo all the pretty colors, did I pass out again?)
So I worked all weekend and Monday and totally killed my whole right arm because I edited 20+ panels. I'm only typing because I've taken a truckload of Tylenol.
Other than me not handling the pain, my laptop couldn't handle manipulating the backgrounds I need for the next chapter.
Digital cameras kill batteries really fast.
Ha, what kind of quiz is it?
One that is so utterly filled with obscenities it would be sinful for me to quote any of it here. It's a totally nonsense "what badass character are you" quiz with results like viking, owl and golem. Totally filled to the brim with swearing. 70,000 people have used it in these past 2 days.
ending or money shot..eh,it's all interchangable.lol! totally lol'd
Yeah I'm glad most digicams have that square recharged battery because that damn thing needs to be recharged all the friggin time.
I'm doing the sci-fi comic in pencil, pretty shocking how different it looks from my tablet, will upload in a&d later. (oh my deja vu~~~my failed 3 week comic so failed)

Ha, I saw one of my friends used that, actually! I probably wouldn't have noticed, but the work f*** was in the results like 6 times(he was a viking btw). Nice job.
I keep a fridge in my office at work.
As you can see, there is very little of what could be classified as "food" in it.
Hahahahaha. That is awesome!
I see you got M&Ms, Reeses, Turkey (I think it's turkey. Some kind of lunch meat) and Red Bull.
I pretty sure you have the basic things to survive on.
It's 5 PM, and I still haven't done my homework. I probably should.
I should also do more posemaniacs like I was going to.
But I keep talking to this girl on myspace. But she's soooooo cool (I've probably said that about 5 times in this same thread, about different girls) XD
You're so girl-crazy, Ryu…now stop chasing ladies and do your homework! :P jk
I keep a fridge in my office at work.
JEALOUS! I wish I had my own little fridge. I have to hide my good food under my futon, cos if I put it in the main fridge it gets eaten. So I can never buy anything that needs to be refridgerated. :(

haha! thanks! it was just an excuse to draw some great things and swear like a fisherman's wife to be honest.
Ha, that makes sense. The quiz made me laugh, btw. And I liked the picture. :)
Your Result: HOLY S*** YOU'RE A VIKING
F***ING H**L. You're the kind of guy who'll SMASH A GUYS F***ING HEAD OPEN WITH A F***ING TREE. Look at that eyepatch! You probably used that eye to F*** SOMEBODY UP. You could probably put an end to some guy's bulls*** with your F***ING BEAR. Just full on smack the b*****d upside of his stupid head with it and and he's f***ing PASTE.
Ugh, I am in a bad mood tonight. We got 'volunteered' to do a bunch of stuff at work today (once again usurping whatever work it might have been that I had planned for this week). When I got out of work, late, it was raining, but I had to walk the dog and not much time so I took her to the park area near my house which I don't like because there is broken glass on the paths from crappy teenagers. So, tromping around in unmowed grass in the drizzle. Union lost her collar someplace so I had to go wandering around to find it too. Grocery shopping shall not be spoken of.
When I got home I put in a movie and heated up some leftovers thinking 'good, relax' but it turns out that Nobody Knows is not in fact a heartwarming movie about 4 kids who are abandoned by their mom for 9 months and one of them dies. It is instead a depressing movie about that very same thing.
Anyway I am still pissed off about the work thing. I have decided that sleep (which always makes me feel better) will make me feel better, and I will treat myself to some extra-sour buttermilk pancakes in the morning to gear me up for my unsolicited work.

Reminds me the the website I'm remodelling for work. I could finish the whole thing on a weekend easily, but I wouldn't get paid for that time, So I do it during work hours and always have other jobs that are more important getting in the way, which means the website job stretches out forever!!!!
Now I know how it was with Volte6.

I need a shave!
I always need a shave.
Damn my arm hurts. And I can't find any backgrounds that work with my foregrounds. They all suck! How hard could it be! It's a damn throne room!
"Check engine" idiot light came on in my car. It can only mean one of several thousand things. I eliminated a few already but nooooooooooo, it couldn't have just been them. Might as well get the computer diagnostic thing done.
I just went and saw Wolverine with my dad. I really liked it, but yeesh! It should not have been rated PG! They definitely should have gone with 14A. I saw some really little kids in there.
I think it was PG-13 in the US, actually…our ratings system is WAY slacker.
School tomorrow, blech. Long weekends only give me a taste for freedom…:P
So, like, if any of y'all really enjoy inking in extremely poor lighting, at a rickety kitchen table that's in a state of perpetual occupation 18 hours a day, then you should totally come hang out at my grandma's house with me. It's especially fun if you're allergic to cats. Not having the Internet is pretty dope, too.
Also, I think i'm gonna end up havin' to stay a week longer than I'd planned.
So I've got this anxiety or guilt or whatever because I feel like if I'm not disciplined enough to devote all my spare time to drawing, under any and all conditions and circumstances, then it means I'm giving up or not serious about my work. Like getting frustrated and going to bed right now because I can see and keep messing up means that I am a failure as an artist.
Why, I ask you- why must I be, ya know, completely insane?

You're the one who started that damn thing? I have an inbox filled with people sending me links to it going, "oh, you know it's going to call you a total b**ch right?"
My power cord on my laptop has pulled out of the power adapter and I've not even had it a year now. I take excellent physical care of it. It shouldn't be falling apart. I am becoming so thoroughly frustrated and pissed off by Microsoft and HP products that I'm beginning to think I will never buy another one again. I'm sick of how pathetically slow Vista runs, and I'm getting tired of the constant malfunctions and foibles of this thing. Simple things like loading photoshop take 5 minutes, and I'm incredibly sick of the fact that half the time I try to open the task manager to solve a problem it actually makes the problem worse and freezes the computer.
I'm almost ready to switch to Linux or a Mac because of this sort of crap. It's happened to the last two computers I've owned.

Oh man, don't even get me started on HP stuff! It's such crap! I have an hp printer…the scanner stopped working a couple months in, and it gets little red splotches on everything it prints out(not to mention the frightening noises it makes). And then there's the ridiculous amount of HP blank CDs we have…that was the worst idea ever. I would feel bad just wasting them and buying new ones, but even when I first burn them they skip! I don't understand why they're such a big name.

I doubt if it's really a Vista prob though, it runs fine on my machines. Photoshop CS4 opens up in a few seconds.- The main machine is a pretty decent one though…
But I have less flashy lower spec one that does just as well.
The trouble is that with comps there's all the software and hardware interactions. See if you can find out what's using the majority of the processor time/ram when you get those slowdowns. Just have the system monitor running in the background so it can help you find out what the trouble is.
—————————————–
You know, it's nice to have your stuff on display; I've got my nice sabres in the umbrella stand, my hats on the hatstands and various racks etc… Nice longsword that I got for my 14th birthday on my bookcase in my room, a tattered rusty old epee as well, a halberd on the wall, a Finnish hunting knife hanging from that by a sailor's lanyard…
Recently added to the bunch is my dad's old machete, from the army. But it doesn't sit right. :(
It doesn't fit in… It's not decorative. It's not a toy. It's not some pretty, shiny, impractical thing. It's too ugly, deadly, and real.
I'm going to take it down, put it away in a cupboard and just use it for gardening like before. It's good for gardening- hacks through anything in one swipe… You have to be careful to check the blow or a one handed swing will literally take your leg off -or at least bite right into the bone. ugh, nasty thing. -_-

You aren't a failure as an artist. There is no rulebook that states you must draw for X amount of hours per day, reguardless if you feel sick, or tired. Art is about you expressing yourself. It's not supposed to be stressful, but rather, stress-relieving, and fun.
Believe me, I kind of know what your talking about. Not 18 hours, but I mean, nearly every weekend I stay up until 1 to 4 AM just drawing my comic. My desk is quite small, and it's just cluttered with stuff. I hate when I do batches of pages too, because I feel like I have to get them ALL done. Which is why I do only one at a time now.
I also, from time to time, give up on hanging out with friends to draw. I'm surprisingly dedicated to my art/comic.
With that being said, don't ever call yourself a bad artist. You can give up (or take a break) for 10 years, and still be a good artist.
Remember that. :)
rant: I suck!
When I started my relaunch I had a buffer then I got so involved on one page and burned through what I had. Then went on vacation and now 2 weeks later still haven't finished the new page which was supposed to be up yesterday! I hate being behind. But I don't want to put out a crap page. I sure hope I can get the new page up by next Monday and hopefully get future pages as well finished this week so I can have a buffer again.
It frustrates me because there are so many liking the relaunch and I really don't want to disappoint readers or disappoint myself.
After spending all my workday on this stuff, I'm still not done. Everything has to fit with the university 'branding' which means the marketing department keeps telling me to change the font and don't use the phoenix in that way and I have the wrong dimensions… uuuuurhghasjkadfk
This kind of day makes me want pizza so much. So so much.
Edit: I had a long rant here but I suppose I should be a bit careful about ranting about work on the internet. Suffice to say, my time has been wasted and tomorrow will be wasted as well, and I owe a non-thank you to the person who volunteered me for this 'bit' of work. I am definitely making pizza tonight.
My god, where do I start?
I won't wank on about the ban. I deserved it, being a tit, blah blah blah and so forth. What worries me is that my warning didn't go up. Is this due to simple laziness? I think not, but rather Ninja Death Mods.
Then said ban is finally lifted and I'm separated from my computer for several days until I can drag it home, set it up, take it apart, fix it, and set it up again.
I'm at home, which is mostly a good thing since I'm no longer dying of malnutrition. The bad is mostly the constant reminder that I failed to get my own place, due to not being able to afford to live on my own, and no one being willing to share a living space with me, and vice versa. Also there is the lack of privacy, but the privacy at college was an illusion.
There was a third thing, which I keep remembering, when forgetting again when I start typing. So I suppose the forgetting counts as a fourth thing. I actually might have already typed it, so I could just be trying to remember something that never happened. I'm pretty sure it did, though.
I finally caved and bought a new hard drive when it became obvious that my space saving tactics were only postponing the inevitable. The previously mentioned taking apart and fixing of my computer is mostly due to my attempt at fitting it. Now I have to get a data transfer cable, which I managed to order from a website that is apparently broken. Of all the places I could have chosen from, I just happened to pick the one that doesn't work.
And finally, I've rewritten this about three times now. The internet here is supposed to be more bloody stable, but apparently not.
