I Always Nap After the First Day of School

Wed Aug 19, 2009, 1:52 AM

* Mood: Tired
* Listening to: "Ironic"-covered by Four Year Strong

It's true, I do--ever since 6th grade actually. Today's lasted 5 hours though--which is why I'm still awake. I'm waiting for the washer to finish so I can stick my jeans in the dryer...I'm not done with my back-to-school shopping, so I still have to wash my jeans about every other day, the usable jeans. I can't get away with ripped up(and I mean RIPPED--like I stuck them in a blender with sharp objects) jeans 'til winter vacation. Can't wait until the next holiday =D

Spent 4.5hours in the guidance office with other people waiting to get my schedule to get fixed...now my schedule's just impossible...AP Psych conflicted with Spanish 4, so they put me in Spanish 5; I dunno how I can survive, since I barely paid attention in Spanish 2(it skips from 2 to 4 because our school is just FANTASTIC). Met some pretty awesome people though, all from saying that I wanted pancakes. My friend Black Jap(his name is actually CJ but I nicknamed him since he's Blackanese) owed me pancakes from Free Pancake Day at IHOP and I didn't have breakfast, so I decided to have some fun and pester him about it. Then I said it a bit too loud and some guy(his names Logan and he's fucking amazing <3) was like "Hey, I want pancakes" and we became this li'l group of 5 wanting pancakes...then I went on to sing the old Winnie the Pooh song("Gotta get up, gotta get going..."--that theme was in my head since right when I woke up for school x_x) and Logan joined in on the chorus. Then he listened to his iPod and sang along to all those old songs from the 90s--and now I'm into Four Year Strong(too bad he has a gf of 6months in Maine). None of us got to eat lunch either. I ended up eating mine in class when I got back =/ I didn't even finish DX.

Anywho, the washer's done--so I'm gonna stick my clothes in the dryer and head to bed. *smack kiss* GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!

Dammit DX

Fri Jul 24, 2009, 10:02 PM

* Mood: Guilty
* Listening to: "Saint Jimmy"-Green Day

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.

Chocolate and Bento

Sun Apr 26, 2009, 3:36 AM

* Mood: Obsessed

All day today, I've had a craving for chocolate(well, technically it's yesterday, but I haven't gone to bed yet...I've been napping all day for some odd reason). I watched the 4th episode of Hayate no Gotoku and it was about Valentine's Day. Then I remembered my failed V-day cake I made for my boyfriend at the time...So then I was compelled to look up Valentine's Chocolate in the culinary section on dA and along with chocolate, there were a bunch of V-day bento lunches. So, I started daydreaming like the lovesick KF I am and now I'm prolly gonna be in a bento-slash-chocolate-making crash course for about a week. And guess who gets to eat all these delicious(?) things-you guessed it! CALVIN, COME ONE DOWN!!! I'M GONNA MAKE YOU NICE AND FAT =D

At least he likes to eat sweet things, and a lot of food...My ex didn't eat as much as Cal, and definitely not as much as me(I still remember my three helpings opposed to his measly 1...seemed like half to me). Since he didn't eat a lot and didn't have much of a sweet tooth, I never really got to make him bento lunches or sweets-he likes anime and the whole 9 yards, so he'd still appreciate it. But I like it when people ask for more of something I made them and I enjoy seeing them smile. I would practically give anything just to see my friends happy. I guess that's why I started doing comics.

At first, I wanted to make a manga because I wanted a manga to exist that was based off of MY life and MY ideas(I'm a pretty selfish person if you haven't noticed). So I started to work on my character around 5th grade. In 7th grade was when I decided to make KaidaFaye's friends a significant part of the story, which is also why I'm not incorporating as much love as there was in the beginning. My friends are the best, and our adventures deserve to be remembered somehow. From the music that is Cal's, to the cuteness that is Monique, the awesomeness that is Steph, and the memories of the 2 guys that helped me define my personality to what it is now. My ex and I are still good friends. Maybe if I'm up to it and over him enough, I'll make him some chocolate and a bento to his liking.

Yeah, I'm one to dwell on good relationships(a good 2 out of 13 but who cares, 2 REAL relationships then). Me dwelling is prolly why Calvin's gonna get so fat that he can't even get through his bathroom door and end up going in his pants. ;D

Happy Zombie Jesus Day!!

Sun Apr 12, 2009, 5:02 PM

* Mood: It's Hot
* Listening to: Some kind of Halloween song on Kawaii-Radio
* Eating: I had a banana(ew), an apple, and pudding...

We're not doing anything special since my mom's in the Philippines for my Lola's birthday. My brother, his girlfriend, and V-chan came over and we had our own li'l egg hunt in my bro's part of the house-very spiffy =D Speaking of looking for things, I can't find my harmonica =( I found my practice book, though.

I decided on getting a small Bamboo Fun, but I still need to figure out which laptop to get. If you have any knowledge of a nice, portable laptop, please share the info!

My eating ways haven't changed since yesterday, but there's still no signs of vomiting-we're all safe =D

While I wait for the usage of a scanner, I've been working on quick-drawing(since that's the style I'm focusing on right now for the feel of the nostalgic "I remember what happened when you drew that" kinda thing-the homey/sketchy feeling you feel comfortable with when you read/look at a domic/doodle your friend did during class). My current focus are the arms and hands since I've been getting better at those. Next are the legs and feet. Then I'll move up to sketching a whole figure and try to make it look decent/finished enough.

Come to think of it, I've never gone into much depth about G33|<!! with you people =( I'll give short li'l descriptions of the main characters since I have little else to do today(besides fight off zombie Jesus with a fork)-.
First off, go here and read up on what a geek really is.
Demri "KaidaFaye" last-name-to-be-decided: She's basically me, and since I'm an attention whore, she's the main character. She's short, skinny, filipino, has 1 amber, one black(very dark brown) eye. Her personality's complicated since she's pretty eccentric about things-very open about her feelings. Also very creative and interested in many things. KaidaFaye is her handle(note: this KF is to not be confused with the real life KF, me); she has a comic(where she earns her pocket money), hates vacuum cleaners and potential serious relationships, and can open up rips in time, space, and other realities. She's a majour otaku and cosplayer. She also enjoys dying her hair. Much to her dislike, she has her own li'l group of admirers, but they learned to back off.

Keitaro "Kei-kun" Yukihiro: He's the only pure-blooded Jap in this comic. He's not a big otaku and focuses on studying. He looks like a chick, acts a bit gay, and is called a ninja around the school. He's had a big crush on KF since he transfered into the USA way back in their childhood. He has red/brown eyes, ties his hair back with cloth only, hates having his hair braided, and wears hats. He must have things clean, which drives KF crazy. He forces KF to stay in shape without her knowing it(ie: DDR challenges, leaving her stuff in trees/the roof, etc). Should be in the grade above, but because the US sucks, they kept him in the same grade as KF(so he's supposed to be in the same grade as Zak, who he hates).

Zak Vemmer: Light brown hair and blue eyes-naturally the pretty boy of the school. Secretly an otaku for romance manga/anime. Develops a crush on KF when he runs into her thinking they were going for the same romance manga, when really she was thinking he's in her way, annoying, and "why won't he move". He asks KF out on dates multiple times, only to be turned down. He and Kei are always at each other's neck because of her. Doesn't help that they have the same birthday, either.

Monique "Mo/Momo/Minto-chan" Boileau: Half Cuban and Half Irish, very proud to be both. Isn't an extreme otaku, but very in love with Tokyo Mew Mew since KF introduced it to her in middle school. Plays the drums in the band KF wants to form. Struggles with juggling school and fun, but manages nicely and somehow can get decent sleep between the two. Has two younger sisters, an anything-goes mom, and a semi-serious dad. The best friend anyone can rely on. Likes animating and hanging out with Steph. "Minto-chan" formed when she, KF, and Steph became obsessed with TMM. Has low self-esteem, but getting better. KF proclaims her to be her younger sister, and people believe her.

Stephanie "Steph/Zakuro-chan" Loor: Hispanic(TBD what kind). Guitar player and singer extraordinaire. Guest plays in the band KF wants to form. Keeps to herself, usually. Basically an idol and is slowly becoming more well-known. Has known Mo since elementary school. Can usually be seen hanging out with her or playing her guitar in random places. Likes to tease Keitaro because he's so short and girly. "Zakuro-chan" formed when her, KF, and Mo became obsessed with TMM. Secretly has low self-esteem, but hides it better than Mo can. She's also getting better at letting herself be whatever she is in public.

Calvin "Cal-kun" Bankert: Secretly a furry, but hates fur suits. Plays almost anything you can think of. KF forced a friendship on him during their freshman year. Both hate the majourity of the school and their class. He's apathetic about most things, but passionate when it comes to hobbies. Doesn't care much for relationships. Has a li'l group of people that like him, but oblivious to it. Vegan. Hates his li'l bro. Loves the theatre. Parents are divorced. Is wanted by 3 of his friends bands, and more by random people. Never seems to have enough time. Partially an insomniac because of KF. Very white, brown hair and brown eyes-like a puppy =3 Very tall, too.

Trey Vemmer: Zak's older brother. Very laid back. Has face whiskers. Has darker hair and green eyes, but still looks like Zak a bit. works at a cafe that KF's band plays at a couple of times and KF later applies to work there and gets the job. KF likes hanging out with him, and puts up with Zak to hang out. They live down the street from her house and he's like an older brother figure to her since she hardly sees her real older bro, who's in college.

Chelsea "Haku-chan" Taylor: Panda obsessed. Has a thing for Trey because he reminds her of pandas. She and KF used to hang out a lot in middle school, but because of class schedules, they hardly get to see each other anymore. Happy and ditzy disposition, but mess with her and you're as good as dead.

Judd last-name-to-be-decided: Demri's older brother in college. They have a lot in common, especially their love for games/anime/manga with cute girls in them(KF wonders how she's still straight). He's into programming and 3-D. He's also the one that introduced KF into the anime/manga stuff, along with drawing and comicking. Can usually be found on the computer. He and KF look very much like each other.

Bryttani "Burrito" Reelitz: Judd's girlfriend of many years. Boobs. Everyone loves poking fun of how big they are, but she likes them anyway. Works at a wine store. Got KF into dying her hair-usually the one dying it for her. Always has some crazy colour going on in her hair.

CHAD: The AI computer from the future that looks like a computer mouse with mouse ears. His mission was to travel to the past and tell KF about her powers. Unfortunately, that was all he was built for and becomes a sort of high-tech pet for KF and Keitaro. Switches from his AI mode, where he can communicate and think properly, and an autopilot mode, where he actually turns into a ditzy, mute idiot. Hangs out with BAB a lot, but usually just attaches himself to KF.

Bad-Ass Bakon: A flying pig. He hatches out of an egg with wings that KF pulls out one day to give to Trey as a bday present. Loves Trey to death. Has a love/hate friendship going on with Kiba. Named by Trey.

Denzel "Kiba-kun" Gadsden: Short and some sort of black(don't get offended, plz-the person I based this character off of doesn't know what he is, he just calls himself black). He's Zak's tag-a-long and likes challenging KF to play-battles, regardless how many times he loses. She calls him her li'l bro(she's always wanted one)...or a pet(Mo used to call him Poodle-Head because of his growing fro). One grade lower than KF. Has a love/hate friendship going on with BAB. Lives in Trey's and Zak's old neighborhood.

And there are the characters that show up most often. I'm not done with the teachers yet, tho'. Or the parents. Keep in mind, this is a slice-of-life comic, so the romance mentioned won't have any serious thought until these kids get into college or if I need a chapter to poke fun at. This is my plan for the series: I dunno if I want G33|<!! to have an "ending". There will be a trilogy, tho: G33|<!!, G33|<!! University, and G33|<!! Ever After. I'm thinking of continuing G33|<!! as their high school years where they just keep having adventures, but I have to keep time in mind; so there will be times where I'm working on G33|<!! University and the group is still having the time of their lives in G33|<!!. G33|<!! University and G33|<!! Ever After will be more dramatic and have a deep storyline of what happens when they get into college and then in the 3rd one it jumps to...well, that's a secret ;D But there is a slight storyline, I just don't want it to get serious in G33|<!!, where it's supposed to be a load of nonsense and teenager pranks with reckless abandon.

I just realized how much I wrote...I'm sorry if you read this much! =(

[EDIT] Just got an out-of-season nosebleed(I usually get them in December)-I think I need to start drinking Ensure again, I'm lacking my usual nutrients =( [/EDIT]
