Kicking Mushrooms

* Drinking: Water

...is very fun =D So, I found out earlier today(technically yesterday now) that the main character in Burton's Alice in Wonderland is not Alice...it's the freaking Mad Hatter. Dammit, Depp--yes, you're a great actor BUT YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE FUCKING LEAD DX.

I'm a big Carroll fan and I know I'm gonna be watching the movie and cringing when something happens that wasn't really supposed to...as all movies-based-on-books go. Calvin, we better be kicking some serious mushrooms after the movie.

Sent my fairy home with a bento lunch(and chopsticks) for him to eat at work tomorrow(pulling a double shift=17hrs)...I have a feeling he'll need more food than that =( After tomorrow, he won't have work for the rest of the week...stupid economy--Target is a horrible place to work, don't work there unless you absolutely have to!! Since that's his only source of income, he's gonna be kind of screwed...he should go kick some mushrooms.

I just realized today I only have 8 pages left in my "drawing pad" =( There's lots of stuff in here I didn't scan in or upload, which means when I actually get a day where I scan in my previous sketchbook, I'll have to scan in this one too...well, not bad--this one only has 50 sheets. I'll have to figure out what to use for a sketchbook now, since my fairy got the one I'm currently using. Meanwhile, I'll erase some stupid things so I have more usable pages.

Filipino moms are so bipolar--Mo, this is why I couldn't go with you to see Grease today =(--It's amazing how I give my mom all the information beforehand and halfway there she starts complaining about what she calmly agreed to earlier (x_x). I'm not allowed to ask her to go anywhere for a while either, especially the Playhouse.

I wish I could go out with friends and boyfriends and not have my parents become overprotective and anal about every little detail, especially after they agree to the plan. Only 1.5 more years, and I don't have to worry anymore =3 Then two months in Mo's place while I find a permanent place to stay. Maybe with my fairy, who knows. I told my brother a while ago that I'm moving out when I turned 18/graduate high school and that my dad acknowledged it, but then he made me feel guilty about it. He said "So you're just gonna leave Mom and Dad by themselves?" I really wanted to say "Well, you could stay with them, you're always ending up back at the house anyway", but I couldn't; that's too mean--and he would be pissed. I hate it when Judd's pissed, especially when it's at me and/or it's about something stupid, like asking him to do something he was supposed to do anyway...Does that make me a bad sister? I always wondered that. I love him to death and I wish he could just live a carefree life, but sometimes he acts more like a selfish spoiled brat than I do...at least I help around the place I live at. I told him to help me wash the dishes and he snapped back saying "I don't need to be told what to do by my little sister!" and shut me out of the room...it's HIS chore DX

Whoops, I'm complaining. Shut up, Jenni.

I've been having some strange dreams lately...

* Listening to: "Never Let You Go"-Third Eye Blind

When I was at Minto's house not too long ago, I had a very...weird dream:

I was attending some kind of potluck thing at a log cabin(more like mansion) with all these people I apparently knew. Then a nice old black guy with a sweatervest said that we should go to the movies sometime at Cityplace and I said it sounded like fun. At this point I woke up cuz Minto kicked me in the face. I fell back asleep and I was at "Cityplace"(quotation marks are used because it definitely didn't look like the Cityplace I know and love) with my "twin" that looked nothing like me. We were talkingto a police officer and he said people under 18 couldn't go to the movie theatre because there's a club going on--here, I looked over to the movie theatre and there's a roped off square of people dancing to some music and you can see kids dressed like they came from Hogwarts(the movie just came out the day I had the dream) behind them; the club was blocking the entrance. I explained to him that we weren't there to see the movie but to go to the barber shop located in front of all the action. He gave us permission to go.

We got to the "barbershop"(it was more like a display window for a really fancy dress store with a door and a swirly blue/red/white sign in front) and there was a sign hanging on the door that said it was closed and the lights were off. So, my twin and I sat and waited outside the door while I felt bad about not going to the movies with that black guy. Then this man with a really weird accent dragging a rolling suitcase yells at us to open the door, which we did. He ran in and sat himself in the back corner of the place and told us to close it behind us, which we did. "Are the orthodontists here yet?"--he looked scared shitless. We said no and my twin got in the barber chair and the two started to chat. He asked me if the orthodontists were here; I looked at the door and said no. He asked if I was sure and looked again--there were two tall men wearing black suits(one with sunglasses and a hat and the other had a tall flat heat(like Frankenstein's monster). They opened the door and the barber just started screaming like crazy. The "orthodontist" with the hat went out of my field of vision over to the barber and the other one bent over me(I was sitting on the floor), turned into a furry, turned back, and as I screamed no he "raped me"(I knew he was raping me, but as soon as I screamed no and his face was too close, it turned black). When the scene faded back in we were all back at the cabin with a lake in the background and we were all eating bbq that the furry/orthodontist/rapist made and some people were missing parts of their head. End of that dream (o_o)"

The most recent one I had was this:

I was accepted into this high-class boarding school. I got there with a whole group of girls plus 1 boy who had a loveable and timid little brother personality. We entered and you could look up and see a taaaaaaaaaaaall ceiling and at every floor there was railing. We went into a room and the headmistress said we were all to sleep in our assigned mattress only(the whole floor was covered in mattresses). I found mine and discovered that there was one free mattress in between me and another girl's. I asked her what would happen if I rolled over in my sleep and found myself on the next mattress; she said that as soon as I woke up to return to my original mattress before she finds out. We were all magically in out nightgowns and we slept.

The scene switched to what I guess was free time and I was wandering around the hallway and looking down at the empty floor below. Then I see my cat pass by on that floor; I somehow managed to reach the floor(poof XD) and I picked her up--I couldn't see her but I saw me eating with a fork and a knife and the food looked like chicken with fur. Then I see that my cat was put in a bento box with her head and tail hanging out and her legs were missing. I started crying and then I woke up. Naturally, I went to check my cat was still there.

..........As you can see, I have very strange dreams. These aren't at the top of the list, just the most recent.

Pain...

Wed Jul 22, 2009, 2:54 PM

* Mood: Distracted
* Listening to: That Purin song from Welcome to the NHK

My dad got mad at me this morning because I didn't want to wake up to do my training today. On my part, I really could have survived 2.5miles with 4hours of sleep, but I was still in pain from the previous days. Hey Mo, remember those sit-ups I showed you when you slept over? The kind where you twist your body from one knee to the other? I'm doing those practically upside down now =( And I'm still nowhere close to a split, so flag practice tomorrow's gonna be hell for me--I need those panels by tonight so I can start the lineart for the comic!! DX

Pyrofire2007 is helping me figure my way around commissions; I'm very thankful =3

I've been going back and forth from my virtual school to comic to something else that's not beneficial to me at all, and back to virtual school. Speaking of the comic, a classmate texted me and said he'd pay $10 for my $5 comic, even though I told him it was only $5 to begin with--this is good =D I don't know how to price the comic, though. I talked to my older brother and V-chan about it, and they said $10 would be reasonable(since it's around 30pgs)--but since graphic novels are the same price it'd seem kind of expensive...but since we're printing and binding at home(my brother has one of those special staplers and we have a laser printer)going a bit more than $5 may be alright...I'll lower the price as the days go on for Chibi-Pa I guess.

The comic is coming along nicely--a couple of my peers have read it so far and love it, although there are some parts that seem unclear(I guess that's what I get for watching so much fast-paced anime based off of 4-5 paneled manga and slice-of-life). Minto said that we actually have more done than we did last year =D My only problem is, I can draw fast...I'm just so freaking lazy. Then sometimes I spend too much time on one thing so it takes longer to complete a page. Mo, thanks for being my assistant/editor or else I couldn't have made it this far (TAT)/

Shut up KF and get back to work >=O

Help Wanted!!

Mon Jul 20, 2009, 5:14 PM

* Mood: Embarrassed
* Listening to: "Australia"-The Shins

I want to start doing commissions, small ones like rough/clean sketches and the occasional line art, but I don't know how to go about it. Is there someone out there that's willing to help me and walk me through the steps on how to do a commission? I won't charge for it, and the person that helps me gets to keep whatever I worked on for the mock commission.

My reason for doing this? I'm not allowed to get a regular job, such as working at a store and such--and even if I could I wouldn't be able to make it to work since I've yet to get my permit(I'm actually supposed to have my license by now) and since my parents never really let me explore where I live, I don't know my way around my neighborhood. Ride a bike you say? Never learned =D Rollerblade? Sure, but the roads are too bumby for me to get around safely. Walk? Not allowed. I also feel bad when my parents give me money, and we're not exactly in the situation where I can get spare change around here. So, my best option was to do commissions since they don't interfere much with my schoolwork(dammit IB Programme).

If you know anyone that can help, or if you can help, please do =( But please note...I'd rather not do any nude scenes...DX
