Hm...no topic

Nothing going on to report, really...all is well, and only a little bit boring. Still have to finish FFX (I FINALLY beat Seymore! Er...the second one, or third. I've lost track^_^;;;;) but it's not terribly vital. A little tempted to try some needlepoint or quilting to amuse myself, as well as a lot of yardwork I want to do. The roses need to be watered^^;. Not much getting done art or story-wise...as it usually is during the summer^^;. There is just something about being home that doesn't encourage art for me. Maybe it's because I do art when I'm bored or want to be amused. Right now I'm still very amused by all the stuff i have here, like my anime/manga collection, the playstation, etc....

Tidus is SO blond! And bish!^^; I know that's off-topic (not that there was a topic to start with) but I really like him for some reason. Maybe i'm partial to blondes, esp in FF stories/games. I liked Cloud a lot too, despite his general gloominess/screwiness. Cloud is SO messed up (not that i'd know for sure, since I've never played the game^^;), but Tidus is...not. I mean, the guy's so cheerful, but not stupid or empty-headed. I think I admire Tidus a lot, and that's kinda scary considering I usually have not-so-good opinions of the main characters. Ah, well....and someone used to tell me that FFX sucked. I would beg to differ now^_^. Though of course if you get stuck somewhere and had to fight monsters (boring monsters) over and over again, that would be bad...

Hmm...what else? The food is wonderful here...^_____^ I love being home and having a kitchen, and a mom to do the cooking^^. At this rate I'll gain back all the weight I've lost (which isn't good since I'm trying to LOSE weight^^;) soon...ugh, need to find a PE class to take or something....

K, gotta go. More FFX!^_^

A post of linkage (which Angelfire would just roadblock...go figure)

Here we go, ppls....

This one is one of Filia, from Faerie, an AU I'm sorta writing. Twas done on a day of extreme stress, and I took it out on her hair. yes....Fi is being attacked by hurricane winds and static electricity! *Cackle* Um...right...
http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/faerie1.jpg

And here's the one with the crappy background...Yeah, fondly dubbed the pic of 'Figome' by Imp-san. Filia in Kagome's school uniform, because no matter what my muse says, I'm NOT putting Fi in a Sailor Senshi outfit and drawing Xel as Sailor Star Trickster. Noooo!^^;
http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/fischool.jpg

This is the pic I drew for Imbrii...hence its name of 'forimbsan.jpg' (short for 'For Imb-San'^^;)....turned out kinda strange, I think. There's something wrong with the girl's chest but I can't put a finger on it^^;
http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/forimbsan.jpg

Crappy sketch of Lei (short for Lei Magus. he should be glad I don't call him Lei-chan or something... *Lei* Is this any way to address 1/7th of Shabranigdo?? *Majo* Yeah, whatever...)
http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/lei.jpg

Now dubbed 'the Smooch Pic' by me and others, this is the first draft of the request pic I'll be doing for Thea-san.^^;
http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/theareqpic.jpg

And last (but it's actually the first that was drawn^^;) is the Xel monochrome I've been wanting to do for forever. No checks on the proportions or colors beforehand tho....so it sucks. Ah, well...
http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/xmonochrome.jpg

And that's all folks! I'll be puttering my way home soon, so maybe we'll see more pics, maybe not..^^;

Ja,

ramblings of the nonsensical variety

Yeha...ramblings. Don't expect spelling to be precise either...@_@. What's there to ramble about? Oh...right....we can start with art, then go on to fics, then go on to RPing, whatever.

I have just gotten one of the harder requests for art that I've had in awhile^_^;. Thea-san finally decided that as much as she would like to see me try drawing her OC, she'd rather see the OTHER option more....The other option being, the kiss scene from Slayers Inversed (betw Xelloss and Filia). How in the world am I going to draw it?^_^;;; I have TRIED drawing ppl kissing before! It just doesn't WORK at my skill level!^^;;;; Just thinking about it makes me want to cry in frustration...it'll be SO hard...but I must do it!^^; Yeees...I promised a pic and I shall do it...

Yeah, whatever^^ All I can pray is that it doesn't turn out TOO bad...@_@

Fics wise, nothing much going on. Well, my muse decided to give me a plot for Falling From Grace, the X/F AU that i thought had died...but it didn't, obviously. And now it's got a plot, simply because my muse decided so...oi, if only she was so dilligent about working with Inversed...@_@. So now I have a plot for a story that's in 1st person POV...which is hard to write after getting used to 27+ chapters of third person...Ugh...all I'm doing is complaining, eh?^^;;;;

RP...I already got over the RP...Had to kill poor Lina off, but it seems like the WHOLE RP has stopped (Jen-sama's right...her record for starting and ending RPs is starting to not look all that great^^;) due to some little spats going on...I think we're riding it out right now. *shrug* I have been more deeply mired in finals than I care to be, so it didn't really affect me. So the old RP will rest for a bit while ppl calm down and get the despire to RP back...

The new RP, tho, hasn't started yet^^;. It's probably gonna be one for Inuyasha, and since it'll be the first for the group, we're thinking about playing it 'fast and loose' so to speak...basically not very plot oriented, and VERY loose, scheduling-wise, since everyone'll have their own things to do over the summer. I'll be playing Miroku, most likely (I've only played Miroku so far...but I'm willing to try other stuff^^) or maybe Fluffkins. Actually my only claim to Fluffy is that he can come and go as he pleases, and since i'll be on a crappy modem, I might need to come and go rather randomly...^^; But Jen-sama's been asked to do Fluffy if it pleases her....we'll work it out (she'd make an awesome fluffy...not sure about how in-character she'd be, but it'd be cool!^^)

Enoughhhh! Majo will sleep now! Sleep!

Ugh...I need sleeeep....

Ugh...Sleep sounds so good right now. I've been up since 5am today (actually awake since 3am...). I finished my stats final this morning.x_X. And econ was yesterday. Talk about hellish. Ughhh....I've just been fried by finals...@_@. One more to go...next...tuesday...@_@ Orooooo.....

What else? Hmm, got two pictures done...one colored and one in pencil. Couldn't scan them today since it's saturday (ugh, it sure doesn't feel like saturday), Oroooo.....

Ok, enough complaining. If I get those pics scanned I'll slap them on the net. If not, then I'll do it when I get home. Ahhh....back to the modem...@_@.

Jaaaaa....

Majo-chan

Dead Week should be Named Dead Days. It's NOWHERE near a week...

Yes, tis that time of the year again...Dead week^_^;. I have two days to study for two finals (Actually, I tried studying yesterday too, but it didn't work very well). I have an econ final that i think I'll do badly on just because, and a stats final that I might do badly on because I'm trying to study for the econ final first. The econ's on Friday, and the stats is on Saturday. My only hope is that my brain isn't completely fried by the end of the econ final and that i can somehow study between the end of the econ and the beginning of the stats. Ugh...life does not look good right now. Then after the stats I have to move. As in pack up everything and somehow haul it to my aunt's house. Yup...then another final on 5/21....then immediately head home afterwards.^^;;;; Ooooh, boy....life REALLY sucks...

Ok, going now. Probably won't write in this for a bit. Ja!

Majo-chan

*yaaaaawnnn* It's barely 8pm!^^; Too early to go to bed!

Ah....blessed free time^_^ Though I really should be studying as hard as I can. Japanese finals next monday and tuesday@_@. Today was great...at least the end of it was^_^. I got to swing on a swing (someone roped one up on one of the trees by the bridge over strawberry creek. It was great^^) and after discussion I got a few friends together to eat sushi^^. Met a new friend (friend of a friend) and had a great time eating and talking. I also got to practice a bit of japanese because the friend speaks it almost perfectly/fluently. And listening to some music that my bro sent over. Good music. Feeling full and a bit sleepy right now, which is probably why I'm not doing much.^^;

No piccies...I think I used up my quota for creative inspiration for the month, at least....but I do have this funk pic of Tomoe, STILL. I want to draw it, but it never turns out right.

and my screen is that weird blue-green again, instead of gray..ugh. It's not bad...just strange^_^; And I got a virus -_-; Ick.

Ok..that's all for now I think...@_@. Going to try to study a bit of japanese before I try sleeping. Ahhhh...no japanese tomorrow^^; I sooo want to ditch stats lecture...but I ...must ...not!^^;;;;;;;

Majo-chan

Class in 15 minutes...what am I still doing here?

If nothing else, finals seems to be a good time for me to write in my blog^^; I guess this really HAS become a dumping ground...tho if you look at it, my life's pretty pathetic in that I don't have much to complain about, except school^_^;

Still not sure if I'm going to AX. Most probably, but still not 100% sure. I really want to join the art show for some reason this year. maybe i finally grew a spine^^; Last year's excuse was that i didn't have anything to show. Of course, I DID have 2 months to get ready for it...but those who know me (and even those that don't) know that my inspiration comes in spurts....nothing more, nothing less. Two months might result in lots of piccies, or absolutely none. Goshdarnit.

Had my japanese oral final today. It went pretty well, I think. Of course it just lets me know that I have absolute no mastery of the language whatsoever. Great for ego deflating^^ But it was actually kind of fun (there were two teachers there and I snagged the one that everyone knew and liked^^) and lots of interesting info exchanged. If the other ppl in the room didn't know I am an anime/manga fan, they do now^^;.

I did my stats hw but I think I did it all wrong. Oh, well.

...I think my posts are so boring!^^; Ah, not like anyone else reads it. I was reading my complaints about math awhile ago and it was actually kind of fun. So at least I'll be rereading this sometime in the future and having fun with it...

*yawn* Should go to class...but I know all I'll do in it is doddle. I started a Tomoe (from Rurouni Kenshin) doddle today that doesn't look too bad...I think I might try coloring it if I get it done before I hit a photocopier...

speaking of photocopiers: I've been 'cheating' on the colored pics...usually to color one has to ink the pic first. ANd the process is usually painful and stressful and you might end up completely ruining a pic...but now I just make a photocopy of the pencil drawing and color on that. That is SO cheating...bad Majo, bad!

EEK, got to go. Class awaits^^; Dang, I'm hungry now...

Ja!

-Majo-chan

Need sleep and practice...

...So I offer piccies.-_-; Baka Majo.

Hope it's a blue thing now...one that I had before? (re: template)

New template...work or no work?

I finished!!

yeha...that was quick. Yeah, finished my essay. Now to take an axe to it and revise...I haven't finished an essay in time to revise for so long!o_0; And i really should go to some stats tutoring...@_@. Hw due, like SOON......@_@

it's funny, though... at least i just complain about school, and occasionally life. I don't have a job, so I can't complain about work, and my life doesn't REALLY suck compared to some other people's. Maybe that's why the song by ...er...Sheryl Crowe? is so cool...I think it's called "Soak up the Sun" or something....Some lines/lyrics in there are really good.^^ Something about "it's not about what you want, it's wanting what you've got". Ugh...I've got to STOP before I start giving inspirational speeches! I guess getting that essay done is a good thing...

Ja. Majo-chan

Now life doen't just sort of sucks...it really DOES suck^_^;

Ack, I should be writing my essay instead of this...oh, well, I've got 5 pages, and only a conclusion to fudge together. And i have 30 min till class. Joy....

Yes, I have so much homework. Essay due tomorrow, stats hw and japanese oral final on Wednesday. Then econ hw on thurs. Then next week I have the written japanese finals. Ah, well...at least I won't have to stay on campus until 7pm on tues and thurs for much longer. The decal class is ending this week...awwwwww;_; I liked that class!

What else? Oh, I need a shower. I know, I know...no one needs to know THAT, but I do need a shower-_-; and i have PE today...I'm thinking I'll take two, one before and one after, because I don't think I can wait until after 3pm to take it. I feel DISGUSTING. iccccccckkkkk.......

Getting a peer edit online for my essay. There was a depressing as hell RP round yesterday, and everyone tried to cheer Sharlene-sama and I up (we'd just went through what we both despise...character deaths>_<), and they all offered to help me with the essay. Now, you've got to realize...I call Sharlene Sharlene-sama for a REASON^_^. She's GOOD. Like REALLY good, at writing. (Similarly, I call Jen Jen-sama because she's REALLY good at art^_^ So far they're the only two -samas i have...). And Elf-san always catch my annoying little changing tenses, yes, the ones that change mid-sentence^^;. Ed-san I'm not sure about, but he's probably really good at technical writing. I don't care, it's just so nice that they're willing to subject themselves to my terrible essay in the first place^^. I'm so moved^_^. So life doesn't suck THAT bad. That's what matters, eh?

Egads, I TALKED myself out of a funk!o_0; Kowai Majo-chan, kowai....^^;

Gotta go now. Ja!

-Majo-chan

Life sort of sucks. Nothing new, in other words

Good thing I didn't try writing earlier, otherwise I would've been even more annoying/bitchy/complainy/angsty. Now everything looks nice and semi-gray in the haze of sleep deprivation, and all is well with the world, except I'm hungry for noodles and there are no noodles to be found in the vicinity.

I have so much work due this coming week, it's not even funny. It's not funny...so I'm not laughing, tho I'd like to strangle myself for not starting earlier. Ah, well. We're nearing the final stretch, anyway. once finals are over (yes, that's what i'm throwing a fit over now) I'll be home free. Of course, that's IF I get my act together and make plans for moving out and buying tickets. Ugh.

No new pictures. Strange inspiration has abounded but none got put on paper yet. So far, I have two that are the most persistant: One is Lina in a green velvet dress (strapless, form-fitting and w/ slits up both sides. High matching gloves) with her hair curled, wearing a silver necklance with a giant green emerald pendent. Strange...The inspiration might've came from jen-sama's beautiful pic of fX in a similar outfit, coupled w/ the thing in the RP today where Zel had Lina pick out some jewelery as an engagement present (to Gourry! Ugh...I can't stand Lina/Zel pairings now...). Basically, Gourry gave Amelia a bracelet to congratulate the engagement between her and Zelgadis, and Zel was returning the favor with Lina. Why am I trying to explain this?^_^; Nevermind...
The next one actually came earlier...It's of Xelloss, Filia, and little Val at the beach. Filia's in a bathing suit (two piece, but not as daring as a bikini), holding/sitting next to/has a hand on Xelloss's staff looking amused/smirking as Xel and Val try (try being the operative word here^^) to build a sandcastle. I think Val is wearing swimming trunks, and Xel's wearing a button-down shirt(that isn't buttoned) and jeans with holes in them. Either that or he's in shorts too . I haven't decided if Fi's sitting on a towel/blanket, or on a rock somewhere looking down at the males' attempts. A very sweet/sappy/waffy type of pic. I wonder what my muse was on?

Oh, also, I got to play with manga paper yesterday. It's thicker than normal printer paper, and soooo smooth^^ It's great. And because it's thicker, it doesn't bleed as much when I use markers. Harder to avoid blotting, though. I don't know when I'll be able to use it, and what I'd draw on it if I ever do, but I'm kinda glad to have it^_^. $5 for 40 sheets is a bit expensive tho. Ah, well. What isn't?^_^;

What else? Changed wallpapers for my computer, studied for japanese final, worried about essay...dang, that reminds me I have to go watch a clip from a film for my essay....darrrrn^^

Ok, that's it for tonight. Going to bed now to sleep away my troubles, yeah^_^

-Majo-chan

The screen is on it's last legs (or breath, whatever). Also got a pic of Snuffles done.

I'm so terrible^^; By the way, Snuffles is my (and most of the other fandom's) nickname for Inuyasha. Anyway, here's link to pic. Usual warnings about roadblocks.

That's all for today. Ja^_^

My screen is dying....The wake is planned for sometime during the summer.

'Ello, all. I feel much better today, yes. In a happy kind of mood, because it's the calm before the finals. Yes...it's that time of the semester again. This time my finals are all bunched up together, so at least I'll be done early. I really want to go home...ugh, that reminds me I have to call my aunt and arrange pick-up/drop-off times...@_@. And buy tickets. DAAAAANnnnnnnggg......@_@

Nothing else up. Got a piccie colored last night. *goes to look for the link*

http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/franpencil.jpg

http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/francoloredpencil11.jpg

The first one is the pencil version, the second is the one worked with my prismacolors. Haven't used them in awhile, and suddenly got the urge to use them last night. Didn't turn out TOO terrible, methinks...^^ And usual warnings for the angelfire roadblock. If the link doesn't work, just copy and paste the URL into the browser window. Simple as that.

Ok....going now...@_@. Ja!^_^
