As I said in the last post, I wrote the finale for MotP and uploaded it already. I'm going to be taking a break this week from writing to catch up on my drawing/brainstorming =3 I have a request or two to fill as well as some contest entries I should get out of the way.
It's possible I might upload the sequel sooner than a week from now, but other than that, don't expect anything until next Monday XD;;
Since my head is on fire from having it done at the salon, I bit you adieu for tonight. I'm off to munch on an ice cream sandwich and watch some more Naruto. Ja ne.
To all those who celebrate it, Happy 4th! We've got a lot of fireworks being shot off here! X3 My family stopped shooting off our own a long time ago... =( However, I've got a pretty good seat of the neighborhood firework from my bedroom window, so I'm pretty good. =)
On another note, I did manage to get get some brainstorming/fleshing out done yesterday for my senior project. So I'll just have to keep at it and pretty soon I'll be at the point where I'm doing the manga pages =3 And who knows? It could turn out pretty well =D
On another other note XD I wrote the finale to the Memories of the Past (MotP) series over on Gijinka Tails But there's a sequel coming up! =D I may take a break from writing it tomorrow, though. X3
I have quite a few things to draw... =C And my hair appt, now that I think of it, was moved to 11am tomorrow. Gosh XD;;
At any rate, hope you all have a splendid 4th of July, whatever's left of it! XD Ja ne! =3
I am... I've been up till 3 or 4 in the morning for the past 4 days, now... Thankfully, I uploaded the next part of MotP on Gijinka Tails already, so my main concern for staying up is done. XD
I've realized I wasted a lot of time... not on the stuff (like artwork) I've been doing lately, I don't regret that XD But I had been saying I need to start on my Senior Project this summer so that it can be done by the time the semester starts and I could work out any extra stuff by the end of the Spring semester. However, I haven't even started my brainstorming like I said. Why do I keep procrastinating? It's just as easy as sitting down and writing a few things... Alright, I've decided. by the end of Monday, I'll have started on brainstorming this thing. I'll try my best to work on it every day and maybe do some storyboarding next weekend. Also, I'll try typing up the plotline to keep myself on track. I've said this, so I'm going to try not the stray from it. I procrastinate, WAY too much. At the very least if I get started now, I won't be panicking about not doing anything. XD I don't get why I panick about not doing it, when I'm clearly doing other things or just sitting there... *fail* orz I'll be able to work better once I've gotten a foothold. It might just mean that I have to forego other things I wanted to do, like the big manga contest on dA. I had a really good idea for that, too... Well, maybe I'll evolve somehow this summer XD I would love ot be more productive, but I'm not ntirely sure how one achieves that... I'm rather laid-back in my actions, but my mind is always worrying about something. Well, I've worried less nowadays, thanks to a friend of mine who's helped me open up a bit. However, I can't be too laid back. Seeing as how it's already July, I'd kinda realized that time's really passing by quick. Damn... at this rate, my summer's gonna be over, too. OTL
Well, that's all. I'd better get to sleep so I won't be a zombie tomorrow. Ja Mata...
Today's was my nephew's birthday. He's 6 today. X3 He's a good boy, but I never now how to act with kids. =;^;= I think he's the most adorable thing ever, but his uncles, my younger twin brothers, know how to play with him better. *sigh* I remember the first time I held him as a baby... =>.<= He was so small and soft, I was afraid I was going to drop him. I was always afraid I'd drop a baby if I was given one, but I didn't XD Now he's growing and is polite but energetic XD I wish I were better with kids... orz I feel like he'll grow up thinking his aunt doesn't like him when in fact, she's just really awkward around kids. XD;; One of his friends was really funny. XD He kept saying "I got you that!" when Zander'd open a present. X3 He wants to seem like the best kid there XD And there was a kid with brown hair, but a small portion in the front was white! =D If that's his natural hair coloring, that's so awesome! But I think maybe he just got into an incident with some bleach... but still it was cool and adorable! *flails* I think kids are adorable, but I worry about whether or not I'd be a good enough mother if the time comes... and I hope my kids are so adorable that I'd brag every day XD (They'll be mine, so I'll think they're adorable no matter what XD)
... I ranted about children XD Really I was going to say that I'm tired and won't be uploading anything today, except maybe the next part of Memories of the Past on Gijinka Tails... I did start laying out the next page of FTL at my nephew's party, but I couldn't concentrate past the frames and text, so I put it back in its folder. I don't know if I'll continue today, but I might feel more up to drawing after my nap.
That's all for now. Mata...! *flops*
It's simple at the moment. I'm trying to get some freelance jobs set up. One looks quite promising like I may get it. And several others can go either way. There's a good chance I might get one of them, but there's about 2 I'm really hoping for, since they're long term.
I'm on summer vacation (or rather, I have been for a month XD;;) and I'm trying to wind down. It's a bit hard to at first, since we get out earlier than K-12 schools, which means my mom, who works in an elementary school library, get off work a month later than we get out of school. And we have a tradition/habit of waking up before everyone leaves the house to pray for the day. It's a good habit to have, though I like to sleep in X3 It brings us closer together, though, so I think if I could get up early enough, I'd pass it down to my family =3 Being the only daughter, I think it's somewhat of my duty if I become a mother X3 I hope I'd have adorable children (they'll be mine, so I'll think they're adorable no matter what XD)
I'm entering some contests (though I've let a few slide by just cuz I didn't get into it orz), but what I should really try to get started on is my senior project... I keep saying, "I'll start brainstroming on it" and "I'll be working on it over the summer" but I still somewhat procrastinate. I worry a little bit about whether or not it'll be good enough. I have to present it in front of some higher up in the university, but a friend of mine did a children's book, so I think I should be fine as well. =) I think it's also bothering me because I'd planned to plan it out more so it'd be thorough, but I'm not used to planning out my work. Preplanning is an essential part of making things a success, but I find it also kinda puts out the flames of passion/inspiration I have for just drawing. I'm afraid if I took too long in planning, that I'd just loose interest and then I'd really be in trouble XD I worry too much, I know, I get it from my father. Ahaha But as I've been telling myself recently is that the best way to get something done and over with is to just do it. And it's been working for me, so far. I need to just forget about all that negative worry and just take things one step at a time. Like I've discovered about driving, one thing I relaly like about it is once you get out there, you can only keep moving forward (yes I know, the car has the option of reverse, but you get what I'm trying to say, right?). If you move too slowly, other people will pass you up, maybe, but you'll still get to your destination. Don't be surprised, though if all the parking spaces are taken, though XD
Well, surprisingly, I've ranted quite a bit. I shall end this update here. Until next time =3 Laterz~
