If anyone sees this and wonders, I have a new journal that I plan on updating more than this particular one. So yay me!

Find it here...

Archon

Fri, 08 Sep 2006 05:19:27 GMT

Trying to decide if I should go to Archon or not. I really can't afford it and I don't know if anyone I know is going. Sigh. I need more friends.

Dark Crystal

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 06:28:52 GMT

I went and finally saw this because talk of a sequel was in someone else's journal.

And I have to say... it wasn't very good.

I'll start with the one positive though. The world, the scenery, some of the camera work and the puppetry were all top notch for the most part. After Jen escapes the destruction of Augrah's lab and he's in the swamp. The scenery there was just made too too well. Now, as for the gelflings themselves. Awful, and the podlings or whatever too... they just don't fit with the rest of the movie.

The voice acting was horrible too. Voices were all charactitures that you'd expect in any animated fair. I hate over the top voice acting. It's why I refuse to watch dubbed anime. Everytime they turn a character into a charactiture of some sort it drives a stake through my heart.

And lastly, the story. Please... this was released in the same decade as The Neverending Story, Legend, Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, Time Bandits and Willow. Dark Crystal is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to 80's fantasy.

Countdown to Kunicon: 2 days

Just doing some laundry and burning a bunch of anime to discs in preparation of Kunicon. Well... was in preparation of a friend coming to visit a day before, but seems she's not coming now, so guess I wasted my time. Not that it didn't need to be done, but I might have waited til Monday to do it otherwise.

Convention Stats

Tue, 01 Mar 2005 22:45:50 GMT

Countdown to Kunicon: 3 days

Friday Registration Opens 11AM
Friday Gaming Opens 1PM
Vendor Room Opens @ 4PM-10PM
Events Begin @ 3PM
Opening Ceremonies @ 8PM

Saturday Registration Opens @ 10AM
Vendor Room Open 10AM-6PM

Sunday Registration Opens @ 10AM
Vendor Room Open 10AM-5PM

Anime is 24 hours with a few interruptions for setup, but 50-53 hours per room.

Parking is available all around the hotel for under $15 this varies by the level you park on and how long.

if you are registered at the hotel it is $7.50 a night if you are parked on the Black Level.

Food will be readily available as will Water...

Okay... so... all sounds good other than parking!!! What the hell is the deal with that? Why does parking need to be so expensive? $15 a day turns into $45 for the entire convention. That's a lot of money. They should have special rates for all people at the convention and not just those staying at the hotel. And that doesn't necessarily include leaving the con to go get food and such. I would've liked to go to a restaurant one day downtown. But if I'm paying that frickin much for parking... looks like I might be parking a few blocks away >.> I hate walking!

When it Rains it Pours

Tue, 01 Mar 2005 03:01:30 GMT

How come storms always seem to bring bad news with them? Today was dark and gloomy and I was already feeling down and depressed. Of course that meant that today was a great day to deliver bad news to me.

It turns out that Josh is no longer coming to Kunicon. Apparently the store manager where he works is going out of town this weekend for a conference or something, so even though Josh asked off a month ago, the fact that he's the assistant manager at the store I guess means that he has to work now. I'm not sure if I accept his excuse or not, but I'm guessing this also means that our other friends Matt and Blaine will no longer be coming either.

The Art of Neglecting One's Friends

Mon, 28 Feb 2005 21:32:09 GMT

Countdown to Kunicon: 4 Days

With four days left to Kunicon, I've realized something important. I haven't talked to anyone that I'm supposed to be meeting there in probably a week's time. I have two seperate groups of people that I have to meet up with there, and haven't talked to them to coordinate when they'll be showing up in St. Louis, where to meet, how to meet, etc. I would assume I give both groups my cell phone number and actually turn my cell phone on for once. But that's not necessarily the way I'll end up going. But still, I can see myself showing up when registration opens at 11 AM and then sitting for the rest of the day only to learn that no one was planning on showing up til like 8 PM.

This has also made me realize how little I've talked to any of my friends period lately. Whether they're coming to Kunicon or not, most of the people I once considered my best friends, online or otherwise, I've totally been neglecting lately. Either that or they've just not been around. This entire month I've been rather wrapped up in a new role playing group and haven't really taken the time to sit around and talk to anyone else. It's sad really, I should probably take a break from role playing for a few days time and do something else even. For instance, clear out some of the anime on my already overflowing hard drives. I've actually taken to deleting quite a few things, where as I used to save EVERYTHING! I'm still debating whether or not I should just dump that portion of my anime collection, or at least get rid of a lot of the stuff I've saved. I barely watch the new stuff I download, when am I going to watch things I downloaded years ago?

Was it necessary?

Mon, 21 Feb 2005 01:02:57 GMT

Okay, the new "gay marriage" episode of The Simpsons is about to air. Fox seemed that it was necessary to put a disclaimer on the episode before hand. They also decided it needed to be rated TV 14. C'mon people, this is a comedy and a cartoon, do we really need to be advised ahead of time? The Simpsons isn't exactly South Park.

Comics!

Tue, 15 Feb 2005 23:27:31 GMT

I finally finished uploading all my old comics to deviant art!!! Yay!!!

http://self-insert.deviantart.com

Blehhhhhhh!

Sun, 13 Feb 2005 07:25:57 GMT

I posted my first couple attempts at drawing on my DeviantArt page. You may want to get an air sick bag ready.

Hold the pickles... and the rest of it too.

Sat, 12 Feb 2005 07:55:50 GMT

Okay... after watching Super Size Me, I officially no longer want to eat at any fast food restaurant. Chicken McNuggets... first made from older chickens that could no longer lay eggs, recipe changed to chickens with oversized breasts. So... I either get the sterile decaying chicken or the deformed one... mmmmm...

Though... I still don't care how bad for you that soda is, I like soda!!! *hugs it*

Con Personality

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 23:28:11 GMT

I'm getting rather sick (other than my cold) of these convention personalities. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, the people that really have nothing interesting to say or to contribute to the convention yet continuously get invited just because they're convention celebrities. Outside of the convention, they probably don't do anything worthwhile. I'm mainly sick of these people getting treated like major guests like they're someone that anyone would actually go to a convention to see.

Seeing that Kunicon STL, is going to be a small con and this is its first year, we're getting plenty of these useless wastes of space. First it was Steve Bennett, one of the founders of Studio Ironcat, otherwise known as that manga company that was so badly managed that it went out of business just a few years after it started. I don't know why we care about this guy and don't know why anyone would want to see him. A few more joined, Doug Smith, who's an artbox designer and Robert DeJesus, who at least has drawn something worth mentioning, Ninja High School... which I know so many people read and care about. He really belongs more at a comic convention.

But I'm willing to let those three go. They've actually done something in the industry even if it's nothing significant and they're really just 'con-personalities' but then I saw the newest guest at our humble little convention.

His name? Piano Squall. Yes, you heard me right, piano like the instrument, then Squall like the whiny main character of Final Fantasy 8. What does he do? Well... he dresses like Squall and plays video game music on his keyboard! Oh my god! That's so exciting, I want to go to that convention just to see him! Argh! I can't believe they're insulting our intelligence by pretending this joker is actually a guest. My bet is that the next guest is going to be a cosplaying monkey (and I don't mean Sailor Bubba or Man Faye).

Dial M for Malfunction

Fri, 04 Feb 2005 20:59:38 GMT

Our phones have really been acting up this past week, and it's rather annoying. Lot's of things annoy me of course so this is no news, but this is really annoying. The phones don't seem to ring properly for one. We have three phones in the house and only two of them ring now when someone is calling us. Then when they do call it only rings for a short time... like really short, like not even half of your usual phone ring. Then finally, it only rings twice, ever... with all the combined problems, earlier in the week we just ignored when the phone was ringing. We didn't think it was really a ring after all.

So finally, yesterday or the day before I decided to pick up the phone on one of these phantom rings, only to learn that the phone was indeed ringing, but there's still severe problems with it. My dad asked me how I could tell it was a real ring, and I really didn't know, just figured we better check. The whole two ring thing was bothering me too and it usually takes me til the third ring to get to the phone anyway, so I picked it up once where the third ring should be and the people were still there... I don't understand what's going on with our phones, there's static over the lines too, major static in certain parts of the house.

My dad joked that he's being bugged by the FBI for things he said when he dodged the draft back when he was younger. It's that whole Patriot Act at work again, I fully expect Secret Service agents to be knocking on my door any day now!

Holy Nightmare, Batman!

Wed, 02 Feb 2005 20:50:14 GMT

I don't have nightmares often, but I had one of those wake up at an inappropriate time and have to go around and check and make sure I was going to be alright before I can go back to bed nightmares last night.

Basically I was having fun over at my family's house when everything went really quiet, someone pulled me over to sit on the couch and told me to be quiet. Outside I could see a black vehicle pulling up. It sort of looked like two large fish scale shaped containers (like the back of a truck) completely black, which nearly hid it from view as it was night time. If you've seen "I, Robot" the large truck things that carry all the robots in the tunnel when Will Smith is being attacked in his car, they were sort of like that kind of thing. Anyway, with that pulling up in front of the house, or at least driving by in the neighborhood I looked at the front door, afraid of what was going to come through, then I heard a whisper "It's the end of the world"

I woke up in a hurry and had to look outside my window, for once it was still dark out when I woke up, which didn't help me at all in feeling better.

Mom, Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to have another daughter?

Sun, 30 Jan 2005 07:41:42 GMT

Well, this post is mainly for one or two people. Almost everyone else knows, maybe it's also for my benefit because it's hard to have a journal that you talk about your problems in and never talk about your biggest one. Like I said, if you're not alaskan_blue or lilahthedragon, you already know this about me and can just skip over the next section if you're sick of me whining about it. You're of course always welcome to whack me about it again.

I was over at my mom's again tonight, and one of my sisters (Jackie) being the nosy little person that she is, asked me "Why don't you feel like you're part of the family?" again. I eventually after getting sick of the question told her and everyone around that I have bigger problems than that (well at least one problem bigger than that).

It's something that's probably been with me since I was at least 9 years old, my mom says 4th grade (though she doesn't know the problem) so she at least knows how long I've been feeling a bit "off". I'm a bit surprised at this honestly, since I didn't think my mom knew jack squat about me. Anyway, through the years this has become more and more of a problem for me. In high school, around 14 was the first time I was really able to put a finger on it, though I might not have realized to what extent this would control my life later on. I started talking about it probably 4 or 5 years ago, not until I met Lizzie (lizmun) did I think I ever even vocalized it to anyone. I guess it's just the last year or two here too that it's totally taken over my life, I can't live a day anymore without thinking about it, crying about it, wanting things to be different. Unfortunately, they can't be different.

What's this big problem then? Well, I have serious identity issues. More specifically, I have a Gender Indentity Disorder, or more commonly, I'm a transsexual (though I don't like that word for some reason). In other words, I define myself more as a female than I do as a male, at least emotionally and mentally. Obviously, if you know me personally, you know that there's no way in hell I'd ever be mistaken for a woman. I can't help it though, I look back through the years, and even if I didn't realize it at the time I was this way pretty much all my life. Or at least I had leanings towards it. This doesn't mean I'm gay, you can be transsexual and not be gay. This also doesn't mean I'm a drag queen (I hate that term more than anything and will get extremely pissed if anyone uses it in reference to me). I have crossdressed before though, don't get me wrong, I probably wish that my body was a little different (shorter, skinnier) so that I could still do it and live more like other transsexuals do. As it is, I've ruled out surgery and hormones as options because I wouldn't be any happier being a 6'6" fat woman that still looks somewhat like a man, than I am now. I'd give anything though to beable to go back in time and change the way I was born.

At the moment, I don't really want to go into stories or experiences that lead me to believe this, I just wanted to finally get it off my chest (again). If this whole thing makes you uncomfortable, just don't talk to me about it. Otherwise, feel free to ask questions. At least I can talk about it openly in my journal now though.

Ignore me please

Tue, 25 Jan 2005 21:09:27 GMT

Please ignore the following statements about the Academy Awards, I'm an idiot who gets overly obsessed with the silly things.

So... the Academy Awards have been announced, and for the most part I agree with the nominations, not that I've seen even half the movies nominated for things, but still... for the record of the Best Picture Nominees... I've seen Aviator, Ray and Sideways... I plan on seeing Million Dollar Baby (has Hillary Swank in it who's one of my favorite actresses) and Finding Neverland (Johnny Depp *_*) when I have some time of course too.

Now on to those that I totally disagree with!

First in the Best Actor category. How in the hell did Clint Eastwood get nominated? There was no indication that he was going to get a nomination and it seems like it was just a case of 'the old boys' club putting in someone for no real reason. I'm not saying he's bad in his role, just saying that Paul Giamatti should've been nominated for Sideways. This is one of the reasons I hate the Oscars, awards and nominations are often given to the undeserving just because 'they're due' it's more of a popularity contest than an award based on skill.

Next, the Foreign Language category. This entire category is flawed, it's been said 100 times, but only two of the many worthy films this year (The Chorus, The Sea Inside) have received nominations. This category is flawed by the rules behind it and not what films are chosen though, I'm sure other worthy movies (A Very Long Engagement, Motorcycle Diaries, Maria Full of Grace) would've received nominations had the rules allowed them to be.

Animation! Abolish this category all together please! This is just a joke... first of all, anime films rarely get nominated despite usually being the best movies of the year, secondly it prevents movies like The Incredibles from competing for the top prize. The Incredibles should take it home this year, and hopefully Howl's Moving Castle will be the winner next year. Hayao Miyazaki films tend to fair better than other anime.

And finally... the documentary category... please, please tell me... how is it humanly possible that Fahrenheit 9/11 was NOT nominated for best doc of the year?!?

Okay... ranting is complete, in summary, I'm an idiot, I'm more into movies than I should be lately.

My Life in Pink

Fri, 21 Jan 2005 08:47:12 GMT

I think I might have a new favorite movie, well I'm not sure yet as I've only watched "Ma Vie En Rose" once thus far but as I reviewed it earlier for my profile on Yahoo! I couldn't help but give it a perfect score. The movie is so wonderfully emotional and vibrant and colorful, it's perfect in every sense of the word. This is what all movies should aspire to be. I cried so many times. I had offered this movie up as one to watch with my mom, as we're starting a movie night together each week, cause I don't see her enough and she doesn't get to see many movies, but she passed on it. I'm glad she did now, because I was a wreck the entire movie, and probably would've been worse if she'd been watching it with me. This is definitely one I'll watch again before returning it, and will be buying it as soon as possible as well.

I opened Pandora's Box

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 05:57:32 GMT

Why oh why couldn't I keep my mouth shut earlier? One of my sarcastic comments opened the floodgates at my mom's house earlier today. Perhaps I was tired, after all I spent the night there again and can never ever sleep well in my mom's bed. Last night was particularly bad as I hadn't planned on staying the night until it had to snow and drop below zero, so I didn't have any of my pillows, blankets, sheets, anything of familiarity. Then if my lacking in something to comfort me wasn't bad enough, I just had to think about really stupid things while I was in bed, it was driving me antsy and I didn't fall asleep til well after 5 AM, only to get up at 8 AM.

So being tired, although I've denied it all day long, I mean I don't feel tired but obviously I was. We were sitting around deciding what to do, getting ready to play a game, when my mom told me to go sit over by my brother and sisters cause she wanted to take a picture of the entire family together. So, being stupid and tired and not wanting my picture taken I responded with "I'm not part of this family."

My sister then wanted to play therapy session and they kept asking me why I didn't feel like I was part of the family. I didn't answer them, I don't have an open relationship with anyone in my family really, so I couldn't just unload in front of all of them. This did however cut me hard having to think about it. So I was on the verge of tears several times as I deflected questions and refocused on other people. My sisters ended up leaving to go out with a friend, so of course my mom had to ask all the same questions again and hug me and try and get me to open up. I still didn't, but I learned a few things in the process. Like she realized that I've been depressed since Elementary school. She has no idea why of course. She thinks it's something simple... I have no friends, I spend no time with the family, I'm overweight, I'm lonely, I'm upset about her divorce... I forget all of the reasons she came up with that I easily said no to.

Anyway, after it was all over I went and curled up on the couch and started thinking too much and started to cry silently. I'm still under the impression that I need to keep it in, or at least prevent me from having to answer more questions at this point in time. So for the rest of the day I've been an emotional wreck and having a hard time preventing myself from crying.

I can easily tell that today's little episode is going to make it hard going over there, just lead to more and more questions... maybe I should've just stayed home, because I'm nearing a nervous breakdown from keeping things inside.

The most screwed up dreams.

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 20:47:54 GMT

No, seriously... none of you can compete with me on the screwed up dreams department. The one I just had seems more like an acid trip than a dream. Though if anyone can top it with a real dream, I'll give you a bag of mint and strawberry m&m's. Okay, like most dreams, the entire thing isn't coherent so I'll try to fill in the blanks with what logically should go there. Feel free to analyze the dream if you can, though I think my dreams go beyond conventional wisdom that they mean something and just are screwed up because I have a screwed up mind.

It starts out that I'm back in high school, a lot of my dreams take place during this time period for me, so this one is nothing too strange to start with. I'm at home, sleeping, or at least holed up in my room early in the morning, not quite ready to get up and get dressed and all that. That of course doesn't stop my brother and sisters who for some reason got up extra early and somehow woke me up along with themselves. What I don't realize at the time is that it's like 3 or 4 in the morning when they've gotten up and no where close to time to go to school. Anyway, they've all gone out somewhere or another, and I'm sitting up in my mom's house's living room now, my dad is awake as well, because he like works nights so it's natural for him to be awake then. From the conversation I learn that apparently it's the current year (2005) and for some reason even though I'm the oldest one, I haven't graduated high school yet even though my sisters have.

Nothing at this point remarkable happens, other than me deciding as long as I'm up I should work on some English homework. As I set in to the task though, my brother and sisters come home as long as some girl I don't know who's apparently my brother's girlfriend. They're annoying me so I know that there's no point getting my homework done here and just talk to them instead. They're looking through the yearbook and see a picture of Steve (he's a neighbor of ours at my mom's house, who's like a total delinquent and somewhat mentally handicapped probably, we have a restraining order against him cause he was stalking my sister at one point in time, also he shot himself in the forehead with a B.B Gun at some point in time, many stories I could tell but I'll get back to the story) and wonder whatever happened to him. We reminisce and talk about how he was in such and such class with so and so and decide that we're going to go pester him. So now we're headed outside.

Once outside, I sit down on a couch, yes a couch is outside in my front yard apparently. I'm reading through my homework again as the rest of them go off to get Steve. At this point, from behind some trees not so far away, I see a unicorn walking around. Now, apparently the only things I know about unicorns is that they grant wishes and can be called by singing whimsically. So, of course with this in mind, I start singing whimsically (think the kind of music that plays in the Little Mermaid when something good and magical is happening) and the unicorn starts trotting over and jumps up on the couch with me. I grab it by the horn and try wishing, and it runs off. One of my sisters tell me that it wasn't the right kind of unicorn and that only male unicorns can grant wishes, males are apparently the prettier ones which I soon learn as I turn my head and see the female one running away, it's now black with like elk or reindeer antlers that have bells attached to them. That's obviously not what I need, so I go back to reading, and of course not too long later I see two more unicorns, one is obviously prettier than the other so I'm sure this one is a male.

I start my whimsical singing again and the male unicorn comes trotting over and jumps up on the couch I'm laying on, just like the previous one had. While this is going on apparently, some strange men start chasing around the other unicorns trying to capture them for at this point in time I have no idea why. Anyway, I go to make my wish as the unicorn lowers its head to me, I close my eyes and start saying "I wish I was a girl" What I hadn't realized though is that the unicorn is apparently not fixed and starts humping me, I want it to stop but I can't give up on my wish, plus there's the fact that a white rabbit has jumped on my face and is smothering me and holding me down apparently. Maybe it was another one of the unicorns in disguise or something, or maybe it's the Trix rabbit, I'm not sure, I just know it was white and fuzzy. So I continue wishing while I'm being held down by the rabbit and humped by the unicorn when finally the men pull both of them off of me and take them away. I'm a bit disappointed because I didn't get my wish granted.

As a reward for letting them have the animals though, they give us a bowl of pink and green m&ms which are apparently strawberry and mint flavored apparently. What they neglect to mention, and what I found out later is that these m&ms are made from unicorns and magical rabbits. The unicorns make the mint ones apparently and the rabbits are the strawberry ones. I've lost my appetite at this point and it's a good thing, because the dream is almost over. After all this weirdness I see a comic page, depicting the whole thing, apparently it was a comic and I have an overly active imagination. I wonder who would draw such a disturbing comic, and at the bottom of the page it has Liz's name (hehe, sorry Lizzie) but the drawings itself look more like something Doug Hills would've drawn.

Anyway, that's the end of the dream, at which point I woke up and decided that was one of the most screwed up dreams in history. Still want those m&ms?

When you say you're going to do something, do it!

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 10:34:16 GMT

Why is it so hard for Yahoo! to do something as simple as removing or editing a movie review on their site? I started making reviews for movies at the first of the year and started with my favorite movie of all time, 12 Monkeys, I'm not going to go in to why it's my favorite, it just is. Anyway, when I first posted a review for it, I made it rather short and didn't give it as high of a score as I would've liked to, going on the notion that no movie is perfect and deserves an A+ rating. Anyway, I changed my mind on that fact about a few days later and wanted to change the scores I gave it around. But as I found there was no way to edit my review, nor change any of the scores other than my overall score for it.

Now what I want to know, is why does Yahoo! not have it built in that you can edit or even delete your own movie reviews? Is there something wrong with people changing their minds about a movie and perhaps giving it a higher or lower score? Why did I have to fill out an idiotic form to get my review deleted so I could write a new one? It's hard to figure out what they're thinking as any other site that allows you to post reviews, would obviously let you edit them as well.

Now I did get a reply saying that my review has been deleted, of course it's still there though and sitting on my profile so I can still not edit it or get rid of it. If they're going to tell me they got rid of it, why didn't they? And if they're removing it soon, why not just tell me when it's actually gone? I mean seriously, don't tell me something isn't there anymore when it so clearly is. I'm hoping that whenever their servers update for the day that it's gone and will be so when I wake up in the "morning," otherwise I just wasted a bunch of time.

Why can't people be intelligent? No really... I really want to know. Is there something inherantly idiotic about people in our country? People as a whole? This isn't the stupidest thing I've ever heard, there's been useless lawsuits over a lot stupider things in the past... but this is still dumb.

Viewer Sues Over 'Fear Factor' Rat Episode
Jan 6, 5:13 PM EST

Associated Press

CLEVELAND -- Apparently nausea was a factor for a "Fear Factor" viewer who is suing NBC for $2.5 million, contending an episode in which contestants eat rats made him vomit.

Austin Aitken said he watches "Fear Factor" often and had no problem with past episodes in which the reality show's contestants ate things like worms and insects in pursuit of a $50,000 prize.

But the Cleveland man said showing people eating rats mixed in a blender was degrading to the contestants and the viewers.

"These networks are going too far.

Period," Aitken said Thursday. "They need to check themselves, clean up their own acts. It's barbaric, some of the things they ask these individuals to do."

Aitken's handwritten lawsuit contends the rat-eating made his blood pressure rise, making him dizzy and lightheaded.

"I didn't see the doorway on route to my room," his lawsuit reads. "I ran into it causing suffering, injury and great pain."

Asked why he didn't shut off his television before the rat-eating segment, Aitken said he couldn't do it quick enough.

NBC responded with a brief statement: "We believe that the claim is completely without merit."

Aitken, 49, said he wants to send a message to NBC and other networks with the lawsuit. He said he isn't concerned with winning a cash judgment in court.

"I just put any figure. You really think I expect to get 2.5 million?" he said.

Court records show Aitken, who works as a paralegal, filed two lawsuits against tobacco companies in the late 1990s. Both were dismissed.

How to Draw?

Sat, 08 Jan 2005 04:38:03 GMT

Those "How to Draw" manga books don't really help. They just give you a lot of theory behind it then show you a finished picture. They're far more useful if you've been drawing for a while than they are if you've just started.

Anyway... I finished my second drawing, I wussed out on the clothes though and didn't put any detail into them, and the hair doesn't look that good either, nor does the face for that matter. On the whole, not as good as my head drawing, but still okay... it's at least as good as all the other amateurs running around drawing stuff.

Drawing is hard ; ; I tried it today. I managed to draw a head/face of some bishounen type guy, then I was going to do a full body and it was looking ugly... or maybe I wasn't taking my time, or maybe I chose a really hard position to start with, or maybe I just can't draw on a smaller scale. Who knows? Anyway, I'll keep at it, and maybe I'll get the hang of it eventually.

I blame my mom for all of this because she had to go and buy me a bunch of art supplies and sketch pads and one of those How to Draw Manga books... so I feel obligated to at least try. I think my face is really good, I was surprised that I drew it... I'm far from drawing whole people though.
