No shipping and handling!

RIP Billy Mays.
The hell is going on here?

Anyway, picture that isn't even finished, click for the lols:


Yesterday I went to my cousin's graduation party. One graduated from high school and one graduated from college. So they had their friends there. HOW STRANGE. I swear to god, their friends looked like the friends people have in a high school or college movie. Very trendy and "normal" looking white people, with one light skinned black guy thrown in so that black people don't get angry. SERIOUSLY.
So of course, I socialized minimally and hung out with the strange ones of the family (My cousin, her husband and the kids) Word spread about my cake and now I'm making a cake for the family's 4th of July party (although I didn't really plan on going- wanted to try holding my own 4th "party" this year.) Party meaning two friends, a boyfriend, sitting around with a flag in our hands. And then going to see the fireworks downtown. XD
Anyway! So instead of making the stereotypical American flag cake (Ugh, SO overdone!) I'm making a fireworks cake. THAT'S RIGHT SUCKA.
I have been inhaling food today, like, WHAT THE FUCK. Like, after I did the laundry every hour I have been eating medium size meals. Mother nature's kind of a bastard. I still love her, I GUESS.
Anything else I wanna say?
Oh! I hope you guys like the new layout. :) Please use the shoutbox (the 'comment' link) to comment if you wanna, although I hardly ever get comments so I don't really expect anything T_T.

Yeah, I do feel a bit better.

My mum was coming home with my aunt so I decided to make a nice dinner.
Denise came over to help me. :D
I made this awesome turkey breast that was covered with rosemary and parsley and in the skin I stuck in lemons and oranges. it was so moist and the citrus went so well with the flavor. I also put a bit of extra fresh squeezed lemon and orange juice in the gravy and it made the gravy very light. Turned out better than I expected! I should have this low expectation for everything. X] I was going to make baby red mashed potatoes but almost the entire sack of potatoes was ROTTEN. I was looking for a smell all morning, because I cleaned the entire kitchen and I still smelled something. D:
Anyway, since I couldn't do that, and it turns out that there were only four regular potatoes, I baked those. (Microwave ftw.) I also microwaved some frozen veggies. Ta-da! Dinner. My mum and my aunt arrived late, we ended up eating without them, and they didn't even eat it. :(

I guess the real story is the cake denise and I made. I made the fondant beforehand and stuck it in the freezer. It was HILARIOUS. It was just marshmallow on a double boiler that was kneaded with shortening and confectioner's sugar. The recipe didn't tell me to wait for it to cool so that it was easier to work with. So I poured the marshmallow goo onto a greased counter and started "kneading".. nearly all of it got stuck onto my hands and every time I tried to get it back on the counter I would spill a ton of sugar on myself and all over the floor. (After I cleaned the kitchen at like 5 this morning.) but after I got it completely covered in sugar, it was easy to remove and ok to work with. It was quite hot though so it would tear in my hands. I wish it were a cooler day. :( So yeah, then I double-wrapped it and put it in the freezer to cool.
Then I started making the cake, it was pretty easy. Mixing cocoa and red food coloring looks like chunky PERIOD BLOOD, so if you wanna pull a really gross prank there you have it.
I baked them in 2 8" cake pans. It took 40 minutes. Denise helped me put the buttercream frosting on, I put some raspberries inbetween the layers- which tasted FANTASTIC by the way (the raspberries absorbed the sweetness of the buttercream.) Then we frosted it. We took out the fondant and started working it because it was stiff from being cold. I rolled it out and put it on, cut it up to fit better, and voila! There it was. So awesome! I decorated the bottom of the cake with red frosting (which was really difficult because the decorating tips I had were too small for the tube [kinda my fault])and then dotted the sides. Denise put buttercream frosting on top while I put the raspberries in place. And there it is! It was the most beautiful and delicious thing I've created.

Wow, today sucked.+edit

First off.
+ +

(Click for full picture)(The second one is the revision, is it better?)
THAT makes me really upset. We all grew up with him in our lives, and I thought he would be alive forever, or at least live to see the next generation. But no, at age 50, gone. I remember listening to his vinyls with my family when we got our sound system in the living room with the record player. I remember loving the song and video for "Scream" which he did with Janet. Watching the Jackson 5 movie that was like 4 hours long and always showing on some music channel. We all joked about his ever-changing appearance, the scandals, and his bizarre/extravagant way of living. But I loved his strangeness, especially because he was such a normal part of our lives. I loved neverland ranch, I loved that he was a child in an adults body. I loved that beautiful imagination. Today it shocked me that he wasn't immortal. It is so depressing and I can't get over it.
+Omg, I was watching the Michael marathon on BET and when the announcer guy said "The late Michael Jackson" I started crying my eyes out. I don't remember the last time I cried so hard. I slept for three hours, and when I woke up I thought it was a dream... alas, when I turned on the television he was still gone. I couldn't fall asleep after that.+

I don't know why, maybe I'm just PMSing and everything is impacting me a lot more than it should, but I am pretty angry about the project Denise and I are working on. I expected it from one of you, but not the other. Don't sound enthusiastic about something you're not enthusiastic about. Obviously you don't take it seriously, but I do. Doing that is just fucked up. Don't give me false hope.

And tomorrow I'm looking forwards to a day of cleaning the whole fucking house with no help because of man law. Hopefully, I will enjoy cooking dinner and baking/ decorating the cake and it will taste so fucking good I can forget all of this shit.

How things have been



Click to see the picture.
So I am SO LUCKY. Yesterday I picked up an original gameboy at unique! Of course, the sides are blanked out so i have to go in and fix it, but I don't have the right screwdriver so I have to buy one. (Is it me, or do I have to buy something new in every entry? T__T) I'm gonna paint it and go over it in clear nailpolish so it won't come off. I'm excited as hellllll.
So, Denise is over (as usual) XDD She's been over since the day before yesterday... we SPAZZED OUT. it was like 12am tuesday morning, and we got this huge burst of energy, we were listning to a weird remix of "Birthday Sex" and she was dancing all twitchy, and I was too, and then I ran over to the corner and started doing headstands and we were saying "TONE TONE, CHOCOLATE OR CHOCOLATE?!" "VANILLA" at eachother until like 1am, and then we just kinda died. It was RETARDED and hilarious. I still can't really do a headstand, I kept tumbling. :(
The next day I made dinner, chicken teriyaki with rice and salad with oranges. It didn't turn out the way I wanted, but it tasted DELICIOUS so it was fine. :) Eric and Devon also came over to eat. Yeayyy I like cooking dinner. :) My mum is away at my aunts house and so I've been having to do everything around the house. I fucking hate that I had to clean all the dishes after I cooked and then late at night Alex and or Dad eats 093218409387 things right after I cleaned everything up. FUCK!!
Anyway. I'm making a red velvet cake for when my mum comes back with my aunt on Friday. With fondant! So I can't wait for that. :)
I really really want to work on the project but I can't get started without Jennifer and Devon!! :(

Shit, dawg.

Hey Guyzzz. I've been pretty busy with bullshit, yep. I got the Sims 3 and my tablet on the same day, so I was pretty psyched yesterday. Then, when I tried to play the Sims, that shit didn't even show up. Then I found out my computer doesn't meet the requirements for the game. It very well could be the game itself (I've tried everything computer-side) but I'll see after I buy more fucking ram. Piss, I'm spending too much money. :|
I turned the computer over to look at the model number and i unplugged some usb's, and I went to plug the shit back in and the computer shut off. And it wouldn't turn back on. I was in teeeaaarrss man. I checked the power strip and everything else was working so I thought it died. Mum switches the plug this morning and the computer turned back on. I DIDN'T KNOW ONE PLUG COULD STOP WORKING. I'm retarded.

Anyway, ending with good news, I love my taaaablet! It has a texture so when I draw it feels like paper. That was kind of an issue with my last two tablets. It was a very smooth surface, so the pen slid easily, it kind of changed my style a bit. I haven't been drawing very well today, but here's something I did yesterday. (click to view entire picture)

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

Can't even talk.

I've been drawing, I swear! It's just that the drawings are surprises for later. Much later, unfortunately. You'll see them one day. But to make up for it, here's the latest gross pokemon drawing! (click to see the picture)

Can you name all of the pokemon? If you don't even give a fuck about naming the pokemon, here they are from left to right. (Highlight to read.)
Spinda, Marshtomp, Sableye, ( The fourth one is me, I'm not a pokemon [maybe])Kadabra, Azumarill.
I love sableye! So awesome. Which reminds me, my fucking save file on emerald was overwritten by a save file from like the beginning of the game. I was almost at the fucking elite four and I'm not fucking playing that shit anymore. Fucking BULLDICK.
Anyway, my sickness is worse than I thought it was. :\ I thought it would be mostly gone today, but it just seem that this sickness just does things a little different each day. First it was a sore throat, then it was runny/stuffy nose, now it's moved back to my throat and I have a really stuffy nose, also, my chest feels congested. I've developed a cough. My throat feels like sandpaper x___x the only relief I have is from tea, and it fills me up so I can't drink it all day. We're running out of honey! ;-;
Before I go to sleep I get really really sick and my whole body hurts. I don't know what's going on, but it better shut the fuck up soon. So please forgive me for not drawing a lot of post-able stuff!
In other news, I was expecting a real life monthly collectible yesterday-- well, it's really Denise's monthly collectible. But nothin' happened and the cash shop is temporarily closed. :(

What else? Hmmm... I don't think there is anything else left to say.

Sunday, June 14, 2009

I am naturally slimey

Hahahawhaw, I'm just sick. woohoo, maybe I'll make up for all the time I spent NOT drawing! Expect another entry/and edit on this one later.
Yesterday was the scout dinner, I'm proud of you eagles! X]It was fun.
Someone asked me if I had ever modeled and I laughed and everyone at the table looked weirded out that she asked that.
I got a kiss on the hand from a kid. On the topic of hand kissing, why does everyone DO that now!? When Eric first did that to me, it was so special and romantic, he was my Tuxedo Mask! He was the only one that ever did that to me. Now people just do it all willy nilly. It's not special anymore. :( What is this sudden outburst of hand kissing?

Anyway, I've been thinking about cosplaying because NYAF is in September and I want to be READY, YO! I've been thinking about:
Kaname Kuran from Vampire Knight
A.B.A from Guilty Gear
I would LOVE to be Zappa, [he's my favorite!] but he has muscles. Although I just saw a cosplay of him by a chubby guy, and I don't think I'd be worse than that. Everyone knows I love to be squirmy so I know I could act the part.
Gimpi from GaiaOnline (Gaia is coming to NYAF, but if there are a lot of Gaians I will consider it!) Gimpi requires a ton of work (the skin! D:) so I might not do this, but I do love Gimpi so!
I would love more cosplay ideas because I'm not super duper excited about any of these ideas. (Kaname is very beautiful so I might not live up to expectations, A.B.A wears a short skirt + has a huge weapon and Zappa is muscley.)

I need to go to the gym, I need to call Planet Fitness about this because when I go to pay for it on the website it tells me that it doesn't cost anything, and I don't want to put in the credit card information not knowing what I'll be charged. I mean, maybe I'm retarded and I just don't understand it... if you understand it please tell me.
So yes, gym so I can be back in shape! Eating properly is never the problem for me- it's the inactivity. So I can definitely lose the weight in time for NYAF if I sign up soon.

That's about it. :O

Expenses.[+more]

FINALLY, FINALLY. I ordered a tablet today. I will no longer suffer. I swear, I was really struggling without it. I was always reaching into my little tablet-holding area on my desk and being disappointed, wanting to draw digitally again and not being able to (skillfully). I never realized how much I used it until I lost it. I think I'll keep it on top of the desk this time so that the wire won't be bending too much, i think that's the reason why the last one broke. The cord was folded and made the wires inside break, causing everything to short. Ffffuck me!
Today I was trying to figure out how much money I would be spending- I needed to buy the tablet first and foremost, so that's what I did. Then I want to buy the ticket for NYAF, $55. Then I want fabric/accessories/makeup for cosplaying. That's an unknown amount. (Especially because I don't know who I'll be cosplaying.)

Oh, and don't worry. I think you guys (Devon and Jenny) will be involved with our secret project. X] When I get my tablet (5-10 days) you'll find out about it, I suppose.

[Edit]
I am reviewing Pokemon World Online.
This will be a short and sweet.
It is an awesome concept. It brings you back to red and blue and you work your way forward in the series. It's like having all the games together and being able to share it with friends is a bonus! But the game is so buggy and laggy that it's nearly unbearable. There is a global chat screen at the bottom that is always full of different conversations, people trying to trade/sell pokemon and people shouting that they don't know what to do because there aren't really any clear instructions when you start the game. Because of this, I hardly ever noticed when people wanted to battle me. The controls suck. (some things you click and some things you press space bar for. I don't understand why the gameboy setup couldn't have been used. (A and B are Z and X, start is Enter, select is backspace, the arrows are the arrow pad.) The shops suck balls (no antidote?). I kind of like the idea that I "bond" with my pokemon over time, so when I found out that you could SELL your pokemon I was pretty pissed about it. Trading is like, here this guy will take great care of you, old pal. Buying is like, IVE BEEN TRAINING WITH YOU THIS WHOLE TIME SO I COULD SELL YOU AT A HIGHER PRICE! 8D

game. 1.5/5. Great potential. Ruined.

The stupid comes at night


So, Denise slept over from yesterday to today and we pretty much have the best idea ever. I can't wait until we can get this up and running. I don't want to tell anyone anything yet... especially if it does what most of our ideas do- die. D:
So I didn't really have time to draw pokemon so I just scribbled that little comic on MS paint. (A reminder of how desperately I want my tablet back...) Might do an ms paint comic like so, if you guys like it.
Short entry is short, so here's a screen shot I found of a trainer I encountered on emerald.

Woah.

So yesterday for my mum's birthday, I planned for her to go to horseback riding. That was my gift to her. And she said she didn't want to go. So then I looked like a douchebag with no gift. >:(
But besides that, my dad got her perfume and we ate at red lobster. (Haha! I saw someone wearing a dress!) The food and the drink I ordered was AWESOME. It was a (virgin) mango-berry daquiri. JESUSSSS, it was so kickasss!! came with a strawberry on the cup. Yum yum. We were supposed to go to cold stone afterwards (right next door to it) but no one wanted ice cream and my mum already got some from the Red Lobster because it was her birthday. It was a good day.
Then I went to the baby shower with artichoke and bbq chicken dip. Apparently people liked it, I wouldn't know. XD It was a fun night, and I FINALLY got to meet Denise's family AND her boyfriend. I've never met any of her boyfriends, like, wtf. He seems nice, I guess. I'm keeping an eye on him. (Man, I'm way too skeptical of people.)
Got home at 1 or so. Fed my Vlad addiction. Slept. Woke up at 6am because my brother has to be insanely loud in the morning for some reason. Fed my Vlad addiction. Drank orange juice. Went to sleep. Woke up at 12. Now I'm here doing whatever.
So here's some (sad) pokemans for you! I kinda rushed the second one, sry. :( (click to enlarge)

Obvious

as helllll.
I knew, as soon as I found out, that David Carradine died masturbating. Come on. Naked, hanged. They found out TODAY that it was accidental (although there's always room for murderrr). Pffft. I should be a CSI person. Except they should only give me "naked hanging" cases. CASE CLOSED, motherfucker! Sorry for being so blunt, but it's truuuue. Rest in Peace.

I did my laundry today! But I did it with my mum, which means I had to fold sheet and towels too. This is why I like to do my laundry by myself. :[
Today is a couple of people's birthday! You guys know who you are. Happy birthday!
Tomorrow is my mum's birthday. She said she didn't want to do anything, so I don't know what to do. :[ I don't even know what to do with myself on MY birthday.
I guess I'm just baking! :D

Here's some gross pokemon! (Click to enlarge)

I've just got this disease...

Where I can't stop wanting exotic pets. Snakes, servals, foxes! I waaaant! I watched the Fox and the Hound today with Denise. You know how Disney movies circle around depressing things? This didn't just CIRCLE around it, the movie WAS the definition of depression. I didn't realize it when I was a kid. I was an especially oblivious kid. The Fox and the Hound is also really under appreciated, I think.

My mum still wants me to do that gallery thing. ...maybe I'll put up that green thing I did a while ago. This is being held in a church, so I doubt they'd appreciate a lot of the other works I've done. Now that I look at it I don't even like it that much... but eh. better than anything else I've done lately.

I want to finish the 'baby pokemon' series and then I'll move on from there. So here's another one. (Click to enlarge)

The older she gets, the higher the eyebrows go.

boo boop be doop

Hey y'all. Denise is over, I dunno what to write, we've just been laughing all day. Yesterday was a boring day. I wish i could remember something to write, besides maybe Tammie Brown or Audition. Besides my fluctuating weight, and how it doesn't even show up on my body.

Hm. Nothing interesting. So here's something pretty to look at.


I drew a bunch of stuff but it's all shitty. Snugglebunny also sucks but it's less sucky than the rest of the shit I drew.

The name of the game is fail.


My original characters, Dr. Laszcu and Pipette.

Yesterday I saw there was an original game boy in Unique for $10. It was blank on the right side, it only took up a small part of the screen though. I went home to make a decision, seeing if there was any place that still did repairs on that model, then when I finally found out how I might fix it myself, the store was closed. Today I checked back, someone bought it yesterday. I was on the verge of tears, I was so pissed. Those cost $40+ at stores. FUCK. I wish I didn't ever make informed decisions! Can't I just make spur of the moment decisions like everyone else?!

In other news, my mum is encouraging me to put my stuff up in some gallery. $10 entry/hanging fee and 20% of sales go to the Suzy Masters Fund, whatever that is. I don't think I'm good enough, and my best work is on the computer. Where will I find good enough paper to print out work? Seems a little weird to hang a printed work in an art exhibit. I wish I painted more. I'm scared to waste the paint because I suck. My last painting was ballsack. Anyway, I think it's a dumb idea. No high class mofo wants some anime shit on their wall.
