"You mean I could never be a pope? Aw, dangit." - Becky Free, 12/07

Haha! I have linked Bernadette before she linked me! Ha ha ha!

Beth and I both decided that the middle of the night was a good time to do stuff we really wanted to. In my case, draw cartoons. I had done a self-portrait in my own, standard, no-neck style the other day, so I decided to try some self portraits to see how I liked other styles, specifically the styles of El Goonish Shive, It's Walky!, It Never Rains, and the oldschool Bazooka Joe. (Now that I have access to a working scanner, I should get all those digitized for safety. For now, play with this.) They all 'turned out' pretty well (well, not the INR one), but I liked the Bazooka Joe version best. So did Beth, when I showed her. If I do start drawing comics, as I would like to, I think I'd like to go with mainly that style, though probably softened up with a little EGS and Walky. I also really like the way It's Walky! does clothing, but INR clothing looks so cool, too. Also, the Bazooka Joe neck was the only one I liked at all. What can I say? I love necks, and drawing them in sketches, but in cartoons, I rarely do. Wiggy.

The Living Euphony last night was great. "Gin tastes a lot like spinach.... spinach that burns." Yeah. Apparantly, I was there for 5.5 hours. I didn't get drunk! Woo, me! I sincerely hope I keep not getting drunk, too. I did get disillusioned witha few people, though -girls- but it's for the best. Crushes are cumbersome anyway, especially when one has had then since the first day of the school year. Not all crushes are like that, I guess.... I still have a crush on Ashley Bettman, after all, and that one's been around pretty much since I met her. That's only about five years even. *cough* Also, near the end I was flirting with Lydia. I knew that I didn't want to flirt with Lydia, but my methods of communication with girls seemed to be limited to flirt or ignore. So. I left not too long after that.

I need to go to bed now. You see, when I said 'Saturday', I meant '5 am on Sunday'.

If I could imitate Scary Go Round, I would. But how does he do it? "It's a robot, Mr Mayor. They're our metal friends from Japan! I read it in a book!"

My MSN screenname is "The only hope for writing in Russia". I don't really expect anyone to get the joke, so don't worry. Farewell, fast friends.
