Many things happened while I was MIA.

Lemme thinkzie.
1. Wrote another half-chapter for that old series, you know, the one that I started writing, but no one bothered to read? But I won't post it until someone specifically asks for it. Its also taking on a much more distinct Redwall flavor, see below.
2. Read that new book in the series, Rakkety Tam. The name may sound 'daft' but Tam's a semi-northlander; I think the name sounds rather Irish-ey which fits his type.
3. Discovered that the sound thingy works insanely well, and the mouse absolutely sucks.
4. Watched all the DVDs we got with my dad, since I live in the basement where the really good TV and incredible new surround sound system are. Watched the first 6 hours of the 1st season of 24 (must admit, not a bad show even if it can feel a bit CSI or whatever at times) and (though i hadn't seen the second set) watched the next installment of Hellsing. Geej. I though the new Redwall book was morbid. (look somewhere later on for that)
5. Tried drawing. Failed badly; came up with a badly-done Wes, a mediocre comicstrip-like Zanno, a weird dagger-weilding Wes pic that kept changing; its actually upside down from the original picture -_-; I fudged it. As did I on the Elven pic I did, which started out as a broad-grinning Wes, then a side-on view, then a lot of erasing, an adjustment of hairstyle and somehow, wound up as an eraser mark-scarred High Elf, which I then gave up as nothing more than just the head (I'm starting to get really bad with faces having to be just-so; most of my art looks horrible because I have too much detail or inconsistant style in 9 outta 10 tries.

Awesome :D I got a special USB headphones adaptor thing, so I can once again use headphones on this. Too bad the optical mouse is wireless, since its a pain in the ass trying to get its pathetic signal to work, so it looks like I'm sticking to touchpad. *sigh*

I got a crudload of art supplies; a nice, new sketchbook, 50lb paper (one of my favorite paper weights, so long as I have a nice hard surface to write on) a ton of pencils, pens, and a professional grade set of colored pencils, along with a nice pen, for inking. (I'll try it, but I wont like it XP)

Also, my bro got me one of the newest Redwall books ^^ That'll be fun for the trip to michigan. If you didn't know, we're leaving today for our yearly visit to the grandparents and relations. We'll be gone until late on wednesday.

My bro loved the poster I photoshopped for him out of a Hellsing pic, of which he got the 3rd set of episodes today. My FLCL one turned out well too; theres just the problem of the place putting the hangers upside-down. Even the one for hanging it vertically is wrong (it'd work if I hung it vertically, but the wrong side has the hook for that too), same with my bro's.

I also got a Foamy t-shirt from my bro, with a quote from the Coffee House episode (Hope you choke on a biscotti.) :P Ah... what else... hm, can't have been that great if I can't remember.

Oh yeah, saw The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe a few days ago. It was great :) loved the fox, naturally, especially his last line.
SPOILER!
Fox: My appologies, your majesty.
Jadis: Skip the formalities, traitor.
Fox: Not to be rude, but I was not talking to you. *looks at Edmund*

Finally, a fox is a good guy. Sneaky and sly as ever, but a good guy :)

I think I may have completely forgotten to mention, my laptop is fixed, with sound, but no headphones, hence why I was downloading OC Remixes.

Took some time to run through my WINDOWS folder and root around for any file or document that looked suspicious in order to try and remove that damned Adware crap. Found the same file as always, and a scan also let me know I had a few internet cookies from them as well.

Well, since my laptop is back, that means most of why I'm never on is WoW. Current listing, all on Moonrunner:
-Lacune, 31 Human Mage, 19/3/0 (Arcane specced out, just not any more talents worth putting in there until I buff up my fire) Skinner 224/225 (MUST remember to get artisian so I can go above 225) and Mining 139/? enough :P Got a +5 mining so I could mine some damned iron already.
-Malcovitch, 22 Gnome Rogue, ?/?/? A few points here and there. Really need to focus talents better. Mining 114/(150?) not enough for Iron. Meh :P I mail it to myself. What he's got is Engineering 191/225. Just need to collect some oil, silk, etc for some Jumper Cables :P Gun and ammo creator.
-Ellias, 10 Dwarf Hunter, a talent point in there somewhere X3 Leatherworking and Herbalism, dunno why I went herb, maybe create an alchemist alt.
Also working on a blacksmithing/tailoring alt XP eventually.

T_T I know I'm not on very often but, really.

The past... *counts* FIVE times I've had new art, no one even seems to have noticed. I'm outdoing everything I've ever done before in my last 10 pictures, and not one comment, not even a "its nice." or other answer-avoiding-answers. *sighs*

Photoshopped a FLCL and a few Hellsing screenshots to turn into posters for christmas presents. Those turned out well. Today at school, during our physics lab where we have to keep an egg from breaking with a non-parachute container made of nothing but common paper and some tape. We made a Rubix-Cube type setup, 3X3X3 boxes, and in the middle was the egg, in each box crumpled paper. My parter Ed drop-kicked it off the second floor height balcony of the caffeteria, the egg was perfectly fine XD

*sighs again* I can only talk to myself like this so many times... *downloads some more OC Remixes*

Links don't work after all...

I've gone and gotten myself addicted to this again XP

The word 'glomp' is actually a real english word, derived almost directly from Latin Oo
      -random fun fact-

< I'm starting to realize my laptop won't be fixed for quite the while yet. Hopefully I'll get another chance to scan soon, I've been doing some good work, just wish I could find some black paper, I have a great idea for the oil pastelles we're using in art class.

Speeking of school, last day before break. Church tonight, brother wanting on, having to pack, all adds up to meaning once I gotta go I won't be back until sunday.

Too much of that Episode 1 intro music.

http://www.zirconstudios.com/audio/Final_Fantasy_6_ANightmareBeforeKefka_OC_ReMix.mp3 <- to single out one of those new musics, this thing is getting turned into an animation as soon as I have a clue how to do it, regardless of how crappy the art in it will probably be! I LOVE THIS MUSIC!

Its definitly pictured for me. Snowflakes, then broken in by a footpaw in the snow, wes-like character striding through the snow, moving to the tempo through an icy mountain trail. Bam, knock open the doors to the lab. Start working on crap, drawing, planning, scheming, see rough sketches. Have him call in help my transforming/creating a trio of others to help. Computer programize, create special "disks" disguised as a new video game. Distribute across the world while spreading on the gamer underground its true purpose, anthro-ize the entire world, end with the same walking loop, but with a massive following.

>> << >> I have too much time on my hands XD

(BTW, if you can't get it to play, you may need to right-click, save-as and run it off your computer like that; I have a feeling you may want to keep it anyways =) fwahaha)

XP my cd player is starting to crap out on me, it tends to skip and act like its low battery on song tracks later than 9 or 10 (fortunately all but the FF6 ones are before that, but still, I LOVE the FF6 one =( blah.) so Xx music ish troubling me.

All this VG music has me playing LoZ Wind Waker again x.x

My bro has the bad habbit of leaving everything on, running, logged on, etc, when hes doing sword work crap, meaning I cant get on, even though hes on sporadically T_T

My laptop better be fixed soon! Xx Latin club stuff is on wednesdays now, its my week to do dishes, doctors appointment to refil my meds on thursday will pull me out of visual com early, one of my favorite classes T_T so, i wont be able to use it as much; of course it will be back soon. Thats how things work for me.

Rant rant rant rant rant o.o;;; I NEED FOOD!

The Red XIII/Cloud combo drawing looks INSANELY good, the Darth Wes not too bad, the Pyroboarding one is kinda light but hopefully will scan well, and the rest, well, they'll probably be tossed into screebles when I send them to the gallery.

Will have them scanned in as soon as I get my laptop back and working!

While everyone else is off watching Kingdom of Heaven over at the church, I'm grabbing the computer, finding the right images, and going sketch crazy using my new VG music. Ive already given Wes his own sport based off of a song that sounds like a racing game, and I think you'll enjoy the look of Pyroboarding. And for a few more hints, the pics im printing out are Link, Mario, Cloud, and Red XIII ;)

I went snooping and grabbed a bunch of the links to the music I'm now listening to obsessively.

http://remix.supertux.com.nyud.net:8090/songs/Ninja_Gaiden_Basilisk_Run_OC_Remix.mp3 <- sounds a hell of a lot like Gerudo Valley.
http://www.tjhsst.edu/~alederer/Music/chth/Super_Mario_64_Fleeting_Ecstasy_OC_ReMix.mp3 <- This feels like a fusion of every era of Mario, from the old school techno bleeps of Mario Bros clear through the jazzy saxaphone sounds of Super Mario Sunshine.
http://www.zirconstudios.com/audio/Final_Fantasy_6_ANightmareBeforeKefka_OC_ReMix.mp3 <-A chillingly pleasent winter sound that makes me want to play that game so badly.
http://cs-people.bu.edu/macintsh/music/games/sunken-suite.mp3 <-one of my favorites! its that awesome sunken ship music from Super Mario 64 ^^ If you dont like the slow opening, jump forwards to about 30-50 seconds into it.
http://cs-people.bu.edu/macintsh/music/games/memories-of-saria.mp3
http://cs-people.bu.edu/macintsh/music/games/gerudo-interlude.mp3 <- like the above Ninja Gaiden, but more clearly Gerudo. My favorite song from all of Ocarina Of Time.

There were more but I can't spend all day rooting through my bro's history for music. :P at least not without getting him suspicious.

Ah, gotta love the sound of a remixed Gerudo Valley (Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time for those who dunno) my brother found a crapload of awesome video game music remixes and burned me a cd with my choice 15, including Gerudo Valley, Super Mario 64, FFVI (A Nightmare Before Kefka) Ninja Gaiden Basilisk Run (which sounds identical to Gerudo Valley, btw) Tetris, and many more.

1st hour- end of grading period test, sat around bored.
2nd hour- end of grading period test survey, looking at AP essays to learn how to improove, same as last year.
3rd hour- sub, easy asignment, what little talk was mostly helping other people with the answers
4th hour- tried to draw. failed. sat there with head down listening to music for 40 minutes strait.
lunch- ate and said screw it, just put my head down and took a nap in the warm sun
5th hour- 5 minutes of vauge effort on legacy project, the rest spent reading random crap and wishing I could find my journal so i could get that assignment done and be bored without feeling guilty.
6th hour- teacher didnt show up until 5 minutes after the bell to unlock the room, another test, layed motionless while listening to people rant about... hell i cant even remember.
7th hour- already got my project done, knew i couldn't draw, read the assignment for english and latin (during english i just read random crap in the book) and listened to Weezer on a loop for the whole 50 minutes.
After- Whoopie. I get to practice driving. In the van (first time). on bad roads. Where my mom didnt know where we were going. with her freaking out and giving me unclear directions.

T_T My life is so goddamn boring; my highlites are talking to people about random crap, and having my mom spazzing out with me behind the wheel of a 1.5 ton mass of metal.

My god x.x its... so... boring x.x

-I cant be on long enough to chat most of the time
-when I can no one wants to X.x
-I have no ideas for ANYTHING to do, draw, talk about, etc etc etc.
-Im mising WoW so much, ive been spending most of my free time that i get on the computer using the Worldofwarcraft.com talent point calculator to plan ahead X_X

The lappy wont be fixed for a few days, and the price tag this time is $250 ><

>< Here's a random comic idea.

-Wes is sitting there looking all skitzo and frizzed-out
"I NEEDS MY WORLD OF WARCRACK!"
-Attack random nerd passing buy, get trampled by a gnome 'lock wearing a hacked shirt reading "Compaq"

This is my mood right now.

CMON JUST FIVE MINUTES MAN! *shadow-eyed panic*

A new member joined us at hi-mail with a story for the Hi(t) List that I feel like sharing. Its so weird and random it cracked me up.
