I do not like the world. Or rather, Earth itself is intriguing, but the culture that populates it is not. I'm a person who despises and loathes humanity, but I try to be optimistic about the individual. I still don't like people. I'm not a social person. Throw me into a mix of persons and I won't blend. I am the oil in the waters of the social scene. I like listening to people, though. They're interesting. I just usually don't drudge up the courage or care sufficiently to make my own opinion known. On the whole I am a calm, still pool of apathy. But there are parts of me that react violently, intensely. I'm territorial. Irrational while having a fondness for logic.

And now I'm going to go listen to Beck and clean the mess my roommates have left. Because I don't want to work on my watercolor.

I spent a couple of minutes today making faces at the mirror trying to figure out what I looked like beneath the face meat.

Occasionally I worry about me.

Random comissions

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 16:15:22 GMT

Decided I'd put up the comissions I've completed. Voila!

This guy had a thing for Wolverine. (Note the sideburns) Seems to be pretty damn spiffy. : )

Wheeeee, cute and done with watercolor!

A lot of people seem to like this, even got comments randomly on my DevArt. Guy still hasn't paid me yet.....-_-;..... Man, I need to find the Gaian mob.... find someone to break his pixelated knee caps... muhahaha.

Working on another one right now, might put that one up later.

pointlessness, wheeeee!

At the request of Eddie, I blather pointlessly once more!

So recently I've joined Gaia, this webcommunity dealie. Tis pretty cool, and random as it is, commisioning art of your avatar or random character is very popular there. So I've been charging gold for avatar portraits. I figure, eh, why not, it'll earn me more gold and give me some practice. Which it has. I am now excessively practiced in computer coloring, and I even did some watercolor practice, huzzah! I feel kind of bad though, because here I am working on random art, when I ought to be working on my comic... it's like I'm scared to work on the thing, which is pointless, I know, but I think I so badly want it to not-suck, that I'm having issues with doing it in the first place. I just need to accept that yes, it will very likely suck! It's your first time doing this shit! It's expected! Come to grips with it and move the fuck on!

Anyways. Personal pep-talk aside, my boyfriend got his tattoo(s) this weekend! o.O I'm really excited and currently greatly frustrated. You see, he told me the day before that he was getting his tattoo. And that for the rest of the week he'd probably be at Mike's house. Whose number I don't have. So I have NO clue how he is or what happened. >.O) Blaaaaaargh. I'm going to try his house tonight. Maybe I can at least get the low-down from his parentals if nothing else. Muh.

I'm psyched for Friday. Ani and Momo are coming down, huzzah! (And then we are being uber geeky and playing DnD. I will attempt to entice them into a movie-going experience as well... I need to see V for Vendetta, dammit!) Had to bribe Momo, since she loathes driving in Denton (likely my fault.... Mapquest makes things seem much simpler than they are and I gave her a damn confusing route to get here last time...) But it means I will be making a little "Hello Kitty" version of both her and her boy-toy. I get to do him as a tiger. :3 Should be fun. I plan on making the bases for it tonight, both at the same time so that they're equally sized. My only real worry is Momo's hair. Curls=blargh with sculpey. Ah well.

Damn. I just realized that if people are coming over I have to clean my room. Fook. Worse, I have to FOLD MY LAUNDRY. *stares at bed ful of clothes in dismay* Noooooooooes!

Guess that's it. Maybe next time I'll post something WORTHWHILE, ZOMG!

Langstong Hughes is starting to lose his appeal in my eyes... As for his book, it started fascinatingly, if simply, with the exploits of his youth, and where I'm at currently has turned into a report of the social gatherings, of who met who and who did what with whom, like the dullest sections of an Oscar Wilde rip-off. Hopefully he will move on, but it's not looking like he will.

In D-n-D we're now planning to topple a government and set up a new one. I'm along for shits and giggles, and have officially brought an orc into the party. (Who I may or may not be having pre-marital relations with... which brought about a disturbing discussion of eugenics, breeding for the sake of new party members, and a previous experience of having to roll dice for penis size...) Chopper (the orc) seemed convinced at the prospect of lots of ale. Beer. It does a body good.

Otherwise, there was some good live music on Saturday, few decent bands, one or two crap ones, then went and saw Big Trouble in Little China. Quite frankly it was shit, but in a good-natured way, so you still kinda liked it.

Mmmm.... Hank Williams Sr. just started playing "Ramblin' Man" on iTunes. Makes things seem simpler. Plus coincides with my current level of angst.

I am off now. I shall blather later on in the week.

Well, I have officially crossed the line into geek-ness today. I went down to my local comic shop, got the copy of Hellblazer I'd been wanting, and then....

I bought a set of dice. My very own d20 and co.

+1 to sense of happiness. Geekiness rocks.

(And yes, props to the sexeh DM who makes rolling these shiny new dice worth it. ;D )

Tomorrow, Liza May Bob the Barbarian Bard rides again! Huzzah and praise be to Hank!

Blah.

Welp, I'm officially NOT in the Comm Design program. This makes me sad, but not as sad as I thought I would be... kinda thought it would shatter, but no. Just annoyed and depressed... mostly because I KNEW my portfolio sucked. Didn't put the time into it I should've... next year, man, next year.

Who knew?

Shel Silverstein wrote "A Boy Named Sue", performed by Johnny Cash. My mind is officially blown.

See Johnny Cash perform it here

I must go find a Silverstein album now.

Comm Design, zomg.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVEN!

...even though you probably don't know that I'm actually updating this now. But happy 18th anyhoo. I loves you.

Now for me to blabber pointlessly.

I'm entering the beginning stages of impending panic... my portfolio for Comm Design is due soon and I have little to none actually done on it. Ideally I should be finished on Mon so that I can mount it all properly... we shall see. Two deisgn things, two drawing things, and an essay. I can do this. No really.. I can. o.o;

One'll probably be a personal mark dealie... though I'm pretty sure I need to develop what I have further. (Tis a dancing cat with the letters K and H within it... I'll hafta photobucket the thumbnail or something later.) The other, likely something from Design 1 that I will inevitably have to pimp up, as most of my stuff was kinda crappily done in that class. As for Drawing, I'm HOPING I can get this one drawing I just turned in back in time.. anthropomorphic drapery, a few fixes and it'll do for my still life. Also need to do a figure drawing, because I'm fairly good at those and they like when you're good at the human figure. ("If you can draw the figure, you can draw ANYTHING!") The essay I worry over too. What the fuck do I write about? They've said funny is good. I think I might just need to be clear... there was one very sappy kind of deal they had for an example.. maybe I can talk about books or something. Mm mm Mark Twain, Alduous Huxley and the lot. I'm only partially nervous about that. I know I can very likely write to their standards, it's just the subject matter which I am unsure of.

Oh well. I am off to polish my logo and consider a few other possibilities... if I do this one it should be more realistic and I should pull the tail in. We'll see.

Muh. I was feeling sorry for myself (and knitting) and decided to rant a bit. Huzzah for the xanga, our own little personal, albeit generally silent, Freuds.

Besides just feeling kind of down, I have two kind-of problems. Both are new friend type peoples. One guy is in my comicking group, and seems to be a nice guy. Good art, he's doing an Inuyasha fancomic. My problem with him is that I am gradually growing more and more uncomfortable around him. Firstly is the idea of personal space. I don't know if it's just a cultural thing or if he's trying to hit on me, which seems a possibility. His girlfriend just left him. He gets far too touchy feely for my taste, but I don't want to be impolite and tell him to fuck off. He's somebody to hang out with. I don't have too many people to do that with. The other problem is along parallel lines. Not that the guy's touchy feely or any such shit... he's just boring as hell. Plus kind of monotone. He has good movies, and that is about it. But he's also a nice guy, one who's gone through some shit, too, so I don't want to hurt his feelings either. When we first started hanging out, he asked me about this one chick who jjust stopped being in contact with him, didn't respond to jack diddly. Asked me why I though that might happen. Weeell... now I know. Callous as it sounds, he is fucking boring. And kinda preachy. That boy has had PC-ness hardwired into his being. For fuck's sake. So now I have to think of some way I could politely tell HIM to fuck off as well. Crappit. I could just shit-kick someone. Makes me wish Steven were here so he could loom at the one guy, or just very blatantly go "LOOK! I HAVE A BOYFRIEND! SEE? THERE!" so he would get the hint... I dunno, maybe I'm just being paranoid and presumptuous. blaaaaah.

Muh. I can't wait for DnD, that shit is the best stress relief I have all week, and the guys there are really easy to relax with. All in all they are pretty damn hilarious. I knew all I had to do were find the right fellow geeks. Now to just lose two unsavory ones..

Oh yeah, I figure while I'm here I might as well blather on about some happier shit. Awesomeness was had this weekend. I officially checked one of the quota boxes for "experimentation in college." No, not that lesbianism thing... damn pervs. ; ) Mah buddy (j00 kn0\/\/ wh0 j00 r, m4h m4l\l!) hooked me up with some herbs. Well, more I hung out with her and her buds and we all (mostly) had some. It was interesting. For the most part, I just felt really good. Relaxed, oddly sort of numb, and prone to giggling. Tried drawing.. was total crap. So much for that thought. Still, I would consider maybe doing it again.

Aside from that, it was my birthday on Saturday, so I was gifted with the customary art supplies, some cheesy shirts, and best of all, a years subscription to both Fables and Y:The Last Man!!! Those titles are the shit for certain. Plus we went to the Melting Pot for dinner, which was INSANELY awesome. Jeebus. So goood..... after that, chillage. Lots of chillage. Which was good, because it was chillage with famliy. I'd needed people to be close to. Made me miss Steven.

Well, guess that's enough for tonight. Peace out.
