* 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]
