Lots and lots of lost info

Hey gang. Sorry for not posting for a while. Usually I post once a week but practice has been making me lazy when I get home. :P

Anyway, a lot of things have happened these last two weeks.

One, I'm going to get a 3DS (hopefully) on Friday! Yay! Ever since I heart of Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, I wanted to upgrade my DS lite. I'm really excited for the game.  Sad thing is, it's coming out tomorrow in JAPAN. D: It's going to be months before it comes out in the states... *cries* But at least I'll be able to play my other games anyways. Plus, I heard the 3DS has some nifty features. Personally, I have no idea what those features are. I'll just have to look that up later on. I still have my old Game Boy Advance. My childhood is wrapped up in that tiny black counsel... *wipes tear from eye* GAHHH! I'm feeling nostalgic just thinking about it! Gosh, I love the old Pokemon. The new ones just don't seem so original.

Hoenn for the win!!

Oh! I have a sad story to tell. So, my mom wanted to get rid of our Nintendo 64 because we don't play it too much. AND I LET HER GIVE IT AWAY. WHOEVER HAS IT, I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY. THAT WAS ALSO A PIECE OF MY CHILDHOOD. I liked the Super Smash Bros. a ton better than Super Smash Bros Brawl. Sorry... Classics are classics.

So, I've stumbled upon some great methods for my story building. :) I bring a note-pad and a pocket-pen with me everywhere I go. And I got some great ideas! I managed to come up with a sport's emblem in English and with a note-pad ready, I was able to catch the idea before it flew away. I've also started a story bible. I keep character bios, mind maps for scenes, and other ideas I know that I'm going to use for my novel. Now I wake up earlier so that I have an hour to plan out my chapters in the morning. Hopefully I'll be done with that in another two weeks, then I can have a writer's conference with a friend before writing the draft.

Also, about commissions... I don't think that's going to work. If you don't live near me or know me in real life, then you'd have to give me your address... Which I doubt anyone would want to do.

Didn't I say I would rant about Owl City in this post? I did, didn't I? Well... I love Adam Young's music! Its electronic and romantic. Not to mention dreamy! I recently bought some albums and a custom-made shirt. Theres fangirl for you. Beware the fangirls. *evil giggle*

So, that's been my past two weeks. I'll be posting some of my recent art in my next post, m'kay dearies?

Vlog- DENIED!!!

So, I kinda lacked a post for a bit, and I have an excuse. Not a good excuse, but an excuse. So, I was watching this one person's channel on Youtube and I began to think of the prospects of doing a vlog. Its the same thing as this but in video format, which sounded a TON easier. Unfortunately, my higher superiority forbids that I do a vlog until I'm older and more mature, which is understandable. :P I can be rather silly at times. So I was busy trying to do that for a blog post, but it didn't happen.

So, there's not that much to report this week. Things have been rather mellow, with school keeping me rather busy. Really busy. Ridiculously busy.

But there was something quite fun that happened this weekend. I went to something called Battle of the Bands at Hark Rock Cafe. The music was great, and the food even better. :) There was this one place that serves the best clam chowder. I thought it was okay. It lacked POTATOES. Potatoes people! I don't know about you, but I NEED POTATOES IN MAH CHOWDER.

I'm actually going to Maui in a few weeks for spring break, so I'm really excited for that. :)

If you didn't know, I love anything near the ocean. Not to mention the photo oppertunites. Some friends of mine went to Maui before and say the view of the Milky Way is amazing there. :D Now I'm really pumped to go!

This also means I'm trying to save up for a better camera. Maybe not for the sake of the trip, since that's a short amount of time to make about $200, but for later on when I take photos to sketch or mess with in photoshop. ;)

So, in order to increase my salary, I'm going to begin to sell my art. Right now I'm almost done with a piece. I'll show you guys when it's done and explain the process that I'm going to take with requests then.

So, what kind of chowder do you like? What's the best place to get chowder?

And please leave comments and questions!! I know you guys are listening. Now I want to listen to you.

My Winter Break :D

My break consisted of a lot of computer time and a tad bit of homework. And photos. Lots and lots of photos. ;)

For example... (Lemme download them from my e-mail real quick)

Okay, first of all, I went to my grandmother's house for most of the week. My sister has this thing for bubbles and we got some at the flea market. My grandmother's dog, Misha, loved them.

See what I mean? X3

She also has this really pretty tree in her backyard. I'm going to do a watercolor of this... Eventually. ;) I think it's a cherry tree, but somehow it slips my mind... Or was it plumb? 

She also improved some of her art, this being a wonderful painting of a water lily. I kinda smudged it a bit... But it was after she took the photo and you can't even tell. So don't tell her. >_> Hey, how am I supposed to know it takes paint more than a day to dry? 

This is my grandmother's parrot Mango, sitting on my head. Isn't she pretty? I was afraid she was going to poop on me the whole time. She's done it before. XD It's so funny when someone walks into the house and she greets them! She even says goodbye! Actually, we don't know the gender but since Mango likes Mamis (my grandmother) more than Grandpa we can only assume the parrot is female. 

Pertaining to my story: Sports have taken a huge chunk out of my time. I'm trying to adjust my schedule so I can work on my plot. It's a bit chaotic... *sighs with frustration* Back to square one. >:/ It feels like I'm starting over... Well, actually the world is well-developed but the plot isn't satisfying. I know that first drafts aren't the best but it's still hard even with that in mind. 

So, the main villain is supposed to be Marlu, but it feels like Sarlin is taking that role. I don't want that. :( Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

Speaking of drawing, I did this real quick for that one coloring contest that's been going on for a while. It's not impressive, but I thought I'd like to share it. 

Title: When Darkness Falls

I actually based the color design off a character from MLP... Nightmare Moon to be exact. I got the idea from the song Angel of Darkness. Hey, don't mess with a good thing I say.

I'd go off to scream my love for Owl City to you but I'm going to save that for my next post. ;)

Love you all!
