I really hate drinking water.

Lost the weight from Easter, but once again, I'm maintaining and not losing at this point. Why does that always happen? Oh well, at least I'm not gaining and gaining and gaining. I'll continue the diet, maybe be a little stricter. :<
Anyway.. Um.. I've been drawing, learning Japanese and playing a lot of DDR. I feel like the Japanese isn't sticking as well as I'd like. I wish I had a workbook or something.
Mmm, what else. Well, I have a story that's actually starting to come together. My OCs 94483, Doctor Lazscu(I'm totally changing his name. Never really loved it. Not sure what it will be though), Pipette and Bronx are in it. I hope I'm good at writing, haha. Lazscu and Pipette's back story changed with the little bit of story I created. I also want to work on these 2-3 other ideas that I have, but for now 94483's story will be the main event.
As always, I have plans, I have plans...

Another one!

It was a fantastic sunny week until thursday/friday. But it still made me really happy and I feel less depressed now (I wasn't depressed at all when it was sunny, but the rain/clouds get right to me). So the next stupid venture is: DDR FREESTYLE! Denise and I want to do cute/moe style ddr freestyling. I hope it is at least somewhat successful (Maybe two song routines?) That would make me happy, or even just one. I got my newer mat working again and the old mat is still spotty, but it's an old mat, so I forgive it. I'm so excited to try!
Yesterday the boy scout troop celebrated 90 years, and I was told that a lot of the older scouts would come, so I went and I overexcited myself, because it was kind of a letdown. They didn't show up. Not that I don't enjoy the current boys, I just hoped that I could see the guys I grew up with in the troop. A handful of older older older guys came. But none of the 90s guys. At least I got cake.

^There's a mini comic with Beau and Chance^
Beau is very very old. And voodoo-y. I imagine that Chance finds out any news for him, so that's that.
Oh, another thing. My mum accidentally my folder of stuff on my external drive. and it was baaaad.
I keep my anime in there. NOT on Vlad. So I've been trying to get my stuff back on there (and also seeing if I have enough space to keep copies on vlad as well orz) well, it's been fine actually. I rediscovered anime I should watch and included it to my collection, so yeah, it's been good.
Another thing. I kinda wanted to cosplay this year at anime fest, but it's more than likely I won't have the funds. Maybe not even to go to the thing altogether. But if I do get to go, I'll bring my mum's camera and really try to take advantage of my time there this year. Haha, I say that every year T_T I have a stupid personality. Anyway, if my confidence does get built up.. I WILL MAKE FRIENDS

VQ the mangaka?

Ever since I read about Nick Simmons (see here and here) it's made me want to make a really American manga. If you know me, you probably know that I HATE drawing comics. For some reason, drawing in panels is extremely tedious and difficult for me.
But I feel like we really need redemption. I've never considered myself patriotic, but every time one of us fucks up THAT'S what the rest of the world hears about, and it tends to drown out all of the good and noble things that we do. So, what will other countries anime fans think of American mangaka (manga creators)? Once again, we're spoiled and the only reason why we get things like Incarnate done is because we've got money behind it. No talent needed, as usual, Americans. It's a shame to all of us.
Hopefully... I will have the patience and be able to use my new-found motivation to create an extremely American manga that people from all over the world can fall in love with.

Yeay!

Vlad's still in bad shape, but I don't think we're in a horrible money situation anymore, so I might be able to get a new computer/build one.
Speaking of purchases, my mum and I went on a bit of a shopping spree today. I finally got to see Chef Central!! It's an awesome store, although smaller than I had imagined it. We got a new pastry bag and some tips, a bamboo mat, tea leaves, chopsticks, a cake decoration book, seaweed, food coloring.. that's all I can remember right now, lol. But they had so much cool stuff there! Pasta makers and tart molds (I wanted them SO BAD. Each tart mold was $5! Can you believe that? For like a 3-4 inch mold.) and they had soooo many cake materials, I was in HEAVENNNN. But I'm not that good at it yet so I want to keep practicing with my current materials. But ugh, I can't waiiiit to get baking with these things. And, as you could tell, I wanted to try to make sushi. :3
And theeeen, we went to Barnes and Noble. They moved the manga section to the back wall-shelf (instead of in the bookshelves next to them) and there was a lot more stuff! HERE I went crazy. I bought D. Gray-Man 1-3, Uzumaki 1-2, La Corda D'Oro 1-2, and Godchild 1. YESSSSSSSSSS. They had the new Petshop of Horrors series but not the old one, so I didn't get it. I was also gonna get Dramacon 1-3, but I got La Corda and Godchild instead. I can't wait to read them! Also, they stopped stocking FAKE everywhere. Why is this? :< I only have 1-3.
Aaaaanyway. Here's a drawing I did of my GaiaOnline avatar.

Omg, I swear to god, I just realized I spelled Ras with a Z here. I switch between Ras and Raz for different games, I guess I just forgot! My username on GaiaOnline is Ras Choco.

I've been out of it.

My brain is sick. :(
I'm working on three drawings right now. I've kinda been in a rut in general, I guess. I haven't drawn anything I'm really happy with recently, I've been deleting all the stuff I had been working on. I haven't cooked in a while, either. David gave me a call to drop off Sandra's baby stuff here (that he's been trying to get to Denise for the longest) and hang out, but honestly, I don't feel up to it. That's not even something that I should need to "feel up to".
Red dots have been appearing on my stomach and chest, and the skin peels on the red dots. What the hell is that. They're not raised. They're just red dots. What is that.
I went to a Barnes and Noble in Co-op city yesterday and they had like all the manga I need to read. I picked one out that I believe i had just enough money for, I look in my wallet and some of the money wasn't there. Just a five was in there. And now the mangas are going to be gone, and they're going to restock number 26 and number 7 and number 104, but not 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. The FYE there also had a well stocked anime section, although I say this in perspective of the shitty anime section we have in the FYE on Broadway, that only has DBZ, Naruto, then fuckhuge expensive box sets for Haruhi and Fruits Basket, some gundam, and whatever else is on Adult Swim. With all the porn mixed in so you look like a pervert when you're just trying to look for something decent.
Vladimir has been having a hard time. Please don't tell me that's why I've been out of it. That is pathetic. He's having such a hard time, I've actually been thinking about getting a new computer completely. I want another Vaio, but all the new Vaios are all-in-one computers, which I hate. And I don't know anything about buying a new computer anymore (brand-wise). What are good computer companies? I know about the parts, but will they last, is my question.
