The first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a sketch, free. However, in return, you must offer 10 free sketches in your own journal. If you've already done 10 Free Sketches, simply link the journal entry in your comment: You still qualify.

Yeah, going to do it, but I don't know how fast I'll be. Almost everyone knows that I haven't drawn a decent thing in like...a year or more xD

In other news, my stomach hurts. Horribly. I thought it was because I wasn't eating properly because of college, but I'm not so sure anymore. I was fine after eating ramen yesterday, but it returned today with a vengeance, and I'm not sure how long I'll be able to last against it. I haven't puked yet, but I've been close....

Other than that though, I'm now a college student! How strange. Already 2 weeks of classes, and I'm somewhat tired. Seven classes on Monday could possibly be my downfall. Hahaha...yeah...

My kitten is awesome, too. She still has almost a kitten meow, high-itched and squeaky, but she's soooo adorable. She's already four months, going on five. I <3 her so much, and I miss her whenever I live in my dorm...especially since I can't have animals there >: The most we can have as a pet is fish xD

Anyway, ten free sketches:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Almost anything. I won't draw yaoi/yuri, or anything I consider obscene. I'll be sure to tell anyone if I don't feel comfortable with drawing something.

Just so I'm not copying and pasting a huge thing all the time...but too lazy to make it all pretty.

Anyway, in other news, revamping the old RP site. I don't know how far I'll make it before I give up again, but whatever. lol. I figure, "Hey, why not try? Maybe SOMEONE will be interested in returning," so that's what I'm doing. Most people will probably just look at this and wonder "wth" but oh well lol.

Anyway, if any of the current members wish to keep his/her character(s), please look at the application(s) and change anything you wish to. Afterward, I'd appreciate if you'd message me telling me what characters you plan on keeping and if you changed anything within the apps so that I can take a look. Nothing overly hard, but I feel is important lol. I'll start deleting inactive people in 3 months time if I receive no word from them. I also plan on sending out a large bulk e-mail, but I know several people who have already changed e-mails. I'm trying to contact people any way I possibly can.

If I think of anything more, I'll add, but for now I think I'm done. Almost three in the morning and can't think straight.

Free sketches I have yet to complete:

This is mostly for my reference for when I actually update something.

IT LIIIIIIIIIVES *lightning flashes outside a tower*

I seriously didn't plan on updating my journal until I posted pictures.... I've mostly just been dead on long-term projects and doodling quite often. Nothing worth uploading though. I might make my dA journals into dream journals if I remember my dreams long enough to write journals about them xD;; I read over an old journal of mine a while back and though "...I don't remember having this dream.... When was this?"

I'm going to try redoing the 100 theme challenge. Honestly! I'll try finishing it as well. I honestly have no idea how far I'll get because...well...yeah, but I'll try. It could be years before I finish it. Hahaha, now, how many people will comment on this journal shall be interesting considering I haven't posted in over....10 months....holy...HOOOLY.... There's no way, but I suppose that's true. Darn, I got the temptation to wait to post this journal on Halloween, but seeing as whoever is reading it is...well...reading it, that obviously didn't happen.

I'll post something soon. Really! Even if it winds up just being more lineart (hahaha, since I can't seem to finish coloring ANYTHING), I'll post it *nods*

Oh, by the way, Hannah, I need reference sheets to your characters. I find Jun inexplicably difficult to draw without knowing what the heck he looks like now. I doodled out Zero, Enya, and Xei though; and boy, Zero looks awesome xD It's all on paper though. SO! YES! Give me references to draw from D: For Ishi, too. And Karin..."The Boyz R Here" gives me one for Kyoshi and Saku luckily. Heck, just give me a reference sheet on all your characters.

Oh, and by the way, we still need to draw that collab with all our characters to celebrate how long we've known each other (and not yet killed each other). I still say the theme should be mafia, but whatever xD Could do something wacky like crossdressing or something, too. I feel like we already planned something though, but I don't remember what it was.... Oh well...I still have plotting to do for RPs.

Speaking of which, I may try and redo my site sometime. Sometimes I miss it, other times I don't, but what I miss most is RPing with everyone as a whole. I get urges every once in a while to restart it; it just never happens 'cause I never finish the art for the logo haha.

College...I still don't believe it, but I'm ready to be out of the house. I'm nervous about a few things...like taking Japanese and getting thrown into Japanese 201 (stupid proficiency test) and some other things, but I think I'll manage. Music composition major with a double minor in creative writing and Japanese. That's my goal so far, and I hope it's the right road for me. I <3333 video game music. Hannah knows; it's practically all I listen to.

Short story: Power went out yesterday at 12:30 or so in the afternoon. I watched Finding Nemo thinking it'd be back up by the time the movie finished. Nope. So, I take a shower and brush my teeth still staying optimistic. Nope. Luckily mom gets home a little later so I'm not bored out of my mind and we clean up the yard (LOTS of debris...several trees were down in the area. It almost looked like a tornado went through; seriously). Tom came over and helped as well, and we talked for a couple hours. When he left, mom and I went into town to get Taco Bell~ Sorry, but Taco Bell's chicken quesidillas are too awesome. I wish I knew how they make them, but meh. I only wish they had more cheese and chicken D: Afterwards we came home, but the power was still out...sucked big time. So I used my sister's laptop (what I used to watch Nemo) until it died, and then I drew.

Tried falling asleep at about 2...and found that my breathing had grown progressively worse. Didn't fall asleep until 6, and the power was STILL OUT. Fell asleep at six and woke up at noon...right when the power came back on. I felt like I was going to die during the night though. I tried lying on my back, my sides, my stomach. I tried leaning up against my pillows, sitting straight up, leaning against my bed. Lying down on the floor, lying on my stomach on the floor, yada yada yada, but nothing worked. I just couldn't get rid of the wheezing, which was keeping me awake.

In other news...went to DC to visit my sister this summer. AND I'M OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL MUWHAHAHA. Again, I'll try posting art soon 8D;; I might post another journal tomorrow as well since I'm going to Rascal's Fun Zone with a group of friends. We'll see if I'm in the mood afterward.

Hokay, so...my friend Tom and I went trick-or-treating to gather money for Riley (mainly so I could have volunteer experience), and we got lots and lots of candy. Anyway...when 8:00 hit, the security person for the area comes...We stopped walking 'cause we thought he was going to turn in somewhere. Well, turns out he wanted to talk to us. He had a really strange southern accent, so it was hard to hear him, AND he was really quiet...which made things worse. Anyway, after a while I make out that he wants us to head back home...in fact, his exact words were, "This is a no-no time for trick-or-treating."

We were really concerned, but didn't question him, and instead turned around to head back to Tom's house so he could drive me home...Well, we walked a little ways when the security man returned and asked us if we were returning home...It was really creepy >w>;; Oh well, at least...he didn't try kidnapping us or anything XD;;

ANYWAY...besides that, I get to drive a robot on wheels tomorrow...It's uh...my first time driving one in a competition, so even though I'm not nervous yet I know I will be by tomorrow...'cause I'm afraid I'm going to fail them and such lol...My total experience driving it is about...two to two and a half hours maybe...Sooo...this could turn interesting really fast...

In other news, Happy Halloween! Hope everyone got lots and lots of candy to munch on <:
