Virtual Hell

Mon Jun 15, 2009, 8:58 PM

* Mood: Emotional
* Listening to: "Eat You Up"-BoA

I'm so confused...I just found out today my virtual school course for AP US Gov was approved almost a week ago-I logged in and "WTFISTHIS"-I'm lost D= I'm not big on talking to teachers--the teachers I talk to I don't even have for a class--so I don't know what this "passkey" crap for my online textbook is or anything. WHYTHEFUCKDIDISCREWUPTHISCLASSIHATEGOVERNMENTIDONTWANNATAKEITAGAINAAAUUGHH *dies*

On a brighter and equally aggravating note, I'm almost done with the lineart for the back and front covers of the comic for September--Mo, I'mma try to finish tonight so V-chan can colour it =D I'll send you the lineart so you can see--hopefully, I'll remember to upload it onto here when that happens. I also start my self-defense-maintain-a-fit-body training(usually referred to as just "training", the hyphens just explain things)...that's gonna be rough-at least 2 miles a day and other stuff DX

I practically killed my fairy-told him I'm setting up a net so he can't get in for a while cuz of complications such as loyalty and etc. I'm kind of an emotional wreck right now-I dunno what going/happening to my best friends, my other best friend, as said earlier, I practically kicked out, can't see anyone, financial crap, etc...I hate being a girl. Somebody give me some Mountain Dew, I've got a long night.

Someone Kidnap Me, Please...

* Mood: Alienated
* Listening to: "Semi-Charmed Kind of Life"-Third Eye Bl

I have done nothing worthwhile since school let out on the 3rd =D *shot* My best friends are out doing things, but I'm staying home cuz, according to Minto, my parents are losers. I need more female friends-maybe I'd have more of a life if I did.

Yesterday and the day before my dad had us move old crap from this house to the other one(it's half storage half rented out to people) so we can organize the stuff we're selling at the flea market next weekend(we're kind of tight on the green stuff at the moment). My parents are saying it's to help out, but I think getting a job will be more steady with my share of the income...but I'm not allowed to get a job. I might end up just saying "hey, take my phone back" because I'm supposed to come up with the money for my part of the bill, but with no job how am I supposed to pay for it? He says to use the money we make from eBay and Craig's List will get us somewhere, but...really? It's not as easy as he thinks...STOP BEING OVERPROTECTIVE AND LET YOUR 16-YR-OLD GET A F***ING JOB!!! *dies*

Enough of the complaining-here's what I've done so far regarding things in my personal life:
-finished 3 of the 7 character designs(clothing) for the promo; Keitaro, Zak, and Monique. Today I'm going to finish the rest since I did those three last night. Calvin's is next =3
-watched a shitload of anime
-tortured the cat
-spent my time with the fairy that crawls through my window every night(it's a human-sized "fairy"). Next time we're playing Jenga =D
-cursed the fact that even though I live in Florida, we haven't gone to the beach in sooooo long

So, today I has to finish the rest of the character sketches and get my brother to scan them in for me so I can send them to Minto to look over. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll be able to finalize the school's design so I can start the comic tonight/tomorrow(past midnight).

Also, sorry for those people watching me and I haven't uploaded anything in so long-no scanner, and Judd(my older brother) is too busy to scan things in for me on a whim.

...Might as well get back to work.

Gah...Stupid KF, Stupid...

Mon May 25, 2009, 12:56 PM

* Mood: Shame
* Listening to: "Sara's Song"-the ESP's
* Drinking: Orange Juice

I regret so much right now; I just keep leading this kid on cuz I'm selfish and don't know what I want. I feel like I'm reverting back to my middle school self, or I'm evolving into some sort of...thing-yeah, some sort of thing I don't like. I can't really look at the mirror the right way; I look different. Maybe I'm just growing up? That's depressing, I'm 16-I'm supposed to be living a carefree life with stereotypical teenager problems like getting a date, parents, and friends-so why is that these are all magnified by at least 5x? It might seem like I'm just exaggerating this, like every other teenager out there, but I know the difference...
For those of you that wish for a manga life on a shooting star or something, be specific and be careful-you might get exactly what you wished for, cuz I did...

On a lighter note, my parents' 25th anniversary was yesterday-I dunno how my mom could stand my dad for that long, cuz I can barely stand him for 5 minutes, but they're happy and disgustingly lovey-dovey so it's fine.
We're going to the beach later today cuz it's Labour Day-I'm gonna have a permanent tan because of all these trips to the beach(we live 5minutes away from there). I hope we can stop by the Ice Cream Club afterwards-today looks like an ice cream day. For the past couple of days it's been icky and humid and very rainstorm-y-I'm looking outside now and Mr. Blue Sky is out so it's all good =3

For those of you who actually read all this, I'm sorry-I rant.

Damn Pencil...DRAW SOMETHING ELSE

Mon Apr 27, 2009, 2:00 AM

* Mood: Yearning
* Listening to: "Everytime"-the Flames

Finished my bento, by the way-2 ube onigiri(?), cut up chicken, carrot sticks with vegetable sauce, and skewered cherries and green apple.

Ever pick up your pencil with no idea what you're gonna draw, and then thing you least want to draw comes up on your paper, even if you're not thinking about it? Like, by the time you're done with the thing you're thinking "Why the hell did I draw this? I didn't want to see this!!" At that point, you maybe be one of those people that rips it up...I'm not; probably cuz I want to see that picture in real life.

I draw best when one mood has just about completely taken over me, whether it be anger, happiness, love, depressed...the picture doesn't always portray how I feel, though-maybe because I just concentrate on making the doodle(almost everything I do is a doodle or started out as one) turn out okay.

All the pictures I've been drawing recently are nostalgic and are things I definitely want to happen...again. I never took a photo of us having such a grand time because we were having too much fun, absorbed into our own li'l world. I see the kids in these drawings now(they're on my drawing binder, which happens to be right next to me) and they just seem like 2 random characters that you may find in G33|<!! (well actually, my character and his WILL show up randomly as background characters for the fun of it all, even though we did end). They give off the same aura as the main characters-familiar, but you can't remember from where but they give off a friendly and welcoming aura.

I just kind of hope this phase ends soon-drawing romance isn't really my thing. When there's a scanner available, though, I'll scan them in. They turned out good enough and I'm proud of every doodle I do, no matter what memories/stories they hold...like looking at a photograph you forgot you took a long time ago.

...excuse the teenage-emo-ness, please; just venting(which I seem to be doing a lot, I'm sorry 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]
