Whoo! I'm goin' ta NJ for two weeks, gonna fly out tonight. I'll more'n likely have internet access, but chances are I won't be hangin' around computers much -- got the beach and swamps to play around in instead. =3

I'll try to get some arting in, bringing paper and what have you, but at the very least you can expect photography when I get back. (Need to cut down on the art-only shots though, eheh...) May even sort out some world-setting stuff, work on that pesky timeline, get some fuinol grammar down, et cetera... Seriously though, my gallery feels so neglected. =\ Hopefully I'll return with something worthwhile -- at the very least, I'm feeling inspired again.

So, see you all at the end of July, take care!

_{Whoa, I'll have turned nineteen by then... I feel old...}

26 June already, dammit
Whoa, 60+ unlooked-at deviations seems like a ton... lol@me for not logging in to check them in like three days.

Mm, yeah, found me a new favorite game, so that's what I've been doing of late. Barely had to break a five for all that stuff I got at Bookman's... Freaking love that store.

Balthier rocks, by the way -- gotta love that guy.

Jeez, been really slow art-wise, haven't I? This is getting ridiculous...

Ah, 'least I got outta the house this week. Had a friend stay the night Thursday/Friday, stayed up until some ungodly hour watching the first season of Buffy and eating pineapple chunks, that was fun. Went to the mall kinda late yesterday, since our ride ditched on us and I still haven't mastered the stick shift or parking thing yet. Went and saw The Incredible Hulk, that was pretty good -- my friend told me I had to watch Iron Man soon, too, since there was a tie-in and everything. Apparently that was an excellent movie, so I'm planning on spending a Monday or Tuesday at the mall again so I can see it.

Got some books today, too. Found the second volume of Parasyte, read that already so my friend could borrow it. Also splurged on some Palahniuk: Invisible Monsters and Stranger than Fiction are now part of my collection. =3 I fear my shelves are approaching their limit... Oh well, coupons beg to be used, and I'm always wanting books. Didn't get a chance to trade in books at Bookman's today, since we got a late start, so maybe I'll do that next week, too, get me some more A/B-trade so I can get even more books! Ha, and that on top of all the manga my friend lent me to read again...

Enough mindless chit-chat, I'm gonna go edit or something. Or make my bed...</sup>

Phew, no more orientation days... Sick and tired of waking up around six. XD Got a list of classes and tons of fliers and whatnot to sort through; Can't see my bed for all the papers. Hope I got that one class dropped in time. The college board website is being a butt and not telling me what my password is to my account -- gotta find out if those AP tests were in vain (lol). Oh yeah, got my student ID today, too... Lol@mugshot.

Hm. Got a cicada sitting on my desk... I wanna photograph it, since it's pretty much the first one I've actually seen out here (for reals), but it was too dark for the camera when it was outside. Definitely a lot different than our old Ozark ones. O_o This one is... green and white? Weird -- whoa, it's my HS colors! Ha, awesome.

Gotta stop reading and get to work drawing, lol. And Scrabble. Damn, you, scrabble, for stealing so many hours of my life. ¬,¬

RIP washer -- I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did... But goddamn, didja hafta leak everywhere?

Whoo, it's late, and I have to get up early to go to orientation tomorrow today! Joy!

Art, lol, wut's that? Gah, been having epic all-night reading sessions instead... Somehow I managed to write a practice scene for B1, though. Very curious. May or may not keep it for the final cut (first draft, anyway,) but at least I'm finally getting my feet wet for this summer. Really hard to get started after all this time, but it should get easier.

Since I've been done with Eldest for a while now, I decided to jump into another masochistic adventure with Twilight. May as well, since I've been lurking more on certain anti threads... Oh well, this should be fun, since this one guy is making an anti-style audiobook. XD First chapter's pretty funny so far, and the next should be online in a week or so... can't wait.
Gotta remember the obligatory pimpage.

Oh hell, there's a sun spider on my wall...

This year is flying by too fast for my taste, I must say...

Anyway, it was time for a new journal. Not doing a whole lot with my ample free time, (except playing Blitzball... best minigame evah) even though I feel like being at least slightly productive this time around. Sleeping in 'til eleven or noon certainly doesn't help though, aheh...

Hm, I should get back to editing ~TheStealthNinja13's story... Been making decent progress in that, at least. Almost done with chapter 21 already, which is good; only twelve chapters left after this one. I love seeing all those file icons slowly disappear into the "edited" folder...

Oh yeah, lol, been kinda picking away at some of my own writing... Mostly just compiling a world encyclopedia, though. (Dork much?) Eh, it's fun -- I get to make up crap like mesltas and stuff. For some reason writing the more primitive races is more fun than the advanced ones... dunno why. Eh, still need to get to work on P:Ter; been going back over outlines and older versions, but I really wanna sit back down and just start over again, do it right this time.

Maybe I should break out those 100 theme challenge pics sitting on my harddrive and finish those, too. Mm, so much stuff to do.</sub>

29 May
Phew, just got back from the mountain... Had some fun up there, but it was all over too soon. (Shoulda gotten an earlier start.) Did some sketching, took some photos, ate some fudge, hiked a little... Just wish I didn't get carsick to and from the place. DX

<sub>26 May
So, new week, new journal. (Eh, why not?) Anyway, new stuff.

Went to the book store a few days ago, picked up FMA 16 (finally) and Parasyte #1... Damn, that is an awesome manga. I mean, seriously, even my sister---who has no interest in manga or graphics novels whatsoever---loves it. Very awesome so far, and I can't wait to pick up the rest.

Gonna try and hit the art hard this summer. I'm starting to kick it into gear with that art nouveau thing I have goin' already, and I wanna go up the mountain to do a bunch of sketches and paintings. Finally dabbling with the digital stuff again, so you might see some of that pop up occasionally. Kinda funny how I keep wanting to work on bigger and bigger canvases... Even 1067x768 or whatever feels small now. O_o

Also gonna start going to the gym again... figure I wouldn't mind losing like ten or fifteen pounds before I start college, if that's possible. Oh well, I love elliptical machines, so it's no bother. Don't like my flabby stomach, uh-uh; need to lose some of that so I can show off my muscles. >=3 *flexes*</sub>
