Zounds. Ed McMahon a few days ago, then Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson in a single day. These three were really monumental- I am stunned. I'm not sure what to think.
May they find peace wherever they go.

3:14 am - Wee Squid Plush
|
I finished this as my half of a trade with a sculptor from the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) pkmncollectors community. :D
( Squid Plush )
Also, thank you for the kind notes left on my previous post. I'm getting better- it's just that when I get down, I get very, very down. You all are the world to me, and your words really meant a lot. ♥ ♥

1:38 am - Pokemon Art ♥
|
So here's one of the things I've been working on for a bit. I'll have all of them standing in a line when I use this for my LJ layout (still working on getting that paid time- I'm thinking this will probably go on the Friends Page layout), but here's the bigger art. It's the first time I've tried coloring the line art, like they do in animation. I'm really pleased with the results- it gives the characters a bit of life I've not seen in my artwork before. Let me know your thoughts! :D
( Pokemon Art )
Not all of these guys are on my main team, but they are definitely my favorites. They really need to make plush toys of Armaldo and Raticate. :(

4:55 pm - New Laptop and New Love
|
I saved all money I received from graduation and finally bought a new laptop. My old one is pushing seven- most people are surprised it still runs at all. After a long weekend of drama concerning my new laptop, some incorrect information given to me, and another $50 spent on an external modem for a dial-up connection, I finally have the internet on it. It really is a lovely laptop. Much love to my boyfriend for helping me pick it out. It can even play DOOM 3, which is definitely not as fun as previous DOOMs. ♥ ♥ ♥
I also have another renewed love: role-playing games on LJ. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm back in the RPing game at a new community after a few years of hiatus. It's such a love/hate relationship for me, though. I love being able to write and it's fun to play with other people, but I find myself sitting around and waiting for tags often. :/ Also, the FireFox widget ljlogin is my new best friend. It makes switching journals SO much faster, which is good on dial-up.
Lari, I still miss playing with you.
Aside from that, I've been working on costuming stuff. Pictures when I actually have something to show, I promise. ♥

4:32 pm - Graduated
|
Finally. I feel a big weight is off my shoulders, but another one appeared- I have absolutely no idea what to do with my degree. Unfortunately, it seems it takes a Masters to do a lot of museum work, and I don't have the drive or finances to return to college at this time. I've got more thoughts on this, but I'm not really sure how to put them into words. Still, it'll be nice to say I have a Bachelor's in Anthropology with a minor in Religion.
Also, more artwork for a Meirin set of icons for whenever I get around to getting a month or so of paid time. I'm working on a matching layout- it's been so long since I coded anything!
( More Expressions )
In good news, all this work with expressions has really helped me. It's an area in which I still need a lot of practice.

2:50 am - Roleplay
|
We had a good Dungeons & Dragons session with a group of friends tonight. It reminded me how much I love roleplaying. <3 Our game play is extremely lax in comparison to the D&D I've played in the past- my DMing is incredulously ridiculous. I really go into it with a very basic plot, and the rest is all improvised; unfortunately, my mind is really random most of the time (I run in Lab Rats mode a lot, I think), so enemies include dinosaur-riding goblins, Elvis impersonators, and the evil 'Blood Ostrich.' Our characters are just as varied: for example, Ryn plays a level-headed Elven Bard with the ability to speak to animals (and is thus the only one in the party who can understand our Furry NPC, Baron von Groubenheim the Leopard King), while my boyfriend plays a middle-aged wizard named Harrie Potter who talks in third person the majority of the time. Wicz also plays a bard, but he focuses on free-style rap, which he actually performed on several occasions with much vigor. His rhymes to convince animals to help him were absolute gold.
Needless to say, it is strange. Their campaign tonight included looking for The Mayor of the City's lost cat, Mittens. Other campaigns included helping the manager of the local cathouse and asking a girl on a date for a shy guy. My DMing is a little over-the-top at times, but it seems to be entertaining for the crew, so I'm happy. <3
Speaking of roleplaying, I'm currently at damned here on LJ. It's a multi-fandom Asylum sort of game, and the community is nice. I'm also glad it's fairly strict and not completely filled with crack characters (or it doesn't seem to be, at least. I don't recognize a great deal of the cast, since I'm not familiar with Bleach/Naruto/Death Note, but the ones I do know are excellent). I sort of applied on a whim- I saw an advertisement while browsing a Suikoden community, and I thought it sounded like a lot of fun. It's an extremely different game than anything I've played before. It really has been fantastic thus far, and it's nice to get back into the swing of RPing on LJ after so long. :)

12:40 am - More Arts
|
This week has been so busy, and next week is looking like it'll be even busier. I'm so ready to get out of school. :/
Time for some ink doodles I've been drawing during said classes. I'm hoping that one of these days, I can get a month of paid time and actually give myself a shiny layout. In the meantime, I'm working on a few Meirin expressions for icons. :)
( Under here )
In other news, I was reading over my old RP logs from back in the m_l days. I miss them. Lari, I need to get in contact with you again, but I think I've lost your AIM name.
That's all for now. Remind me to tell you next time about where I'm playing now.

7:56 pm - Plush Progress and Sketches
|
I've been a bit busy at school, but I did manage to get some sketches done:
( Several Meirins and a Milly )
Also, my first plush (who I promise will be getting pants and a face eventually) is a bit on the back-burner while I work on something else. :x
( New Pattern )
I also went to check prices on fleece today for a hat I'll hopefully be making in the near-future. I really need to send a note about that- will get to it in a bit.

D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
That's a bit surprising. :o
Also, I super promise I'm going to post art of some sort this weekend. I even brought my 2nd plush with me to college to get some work done on him.
In other news, finances aren't so hot, and I have a friend who is in worse condition, so I was thinking of making some Pokemon-themed hats to put on my still-empty Etsy account- funds would go to my buddy to help her and her fiance out of a tight spot. Any thoughts or suggestions? I thought I might try a Sneasel, since I love them.

12:55 pm - A Few Quiz Things
|
Just letting you know I'm alive, although whatever bug I've got would like to see me otherwise. The forensic investigation I took part in last Saturday was kind of nifty, but the survey was definitely different than the anthropological sort I'm used to.
Also, art later. For now, a few quiz results. I saw one on Heather's LJ and really felt like taking a few, since I don't do it very often.
( Under here. )
Spring Break is next week- I'll be home taking care of my parents' animals while they take a trip to California. Hopefully, I can finish some art, work on costumes, and get some sleep.

11:11 pm - SNOW and some actual productivity
|
We had snow. SNOW. :D It wasn't much, but any snow is still snow. Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man I love snow. <3
( Pictures )
Being poor as usual, I put myself to work and made my boyfriend a plush of his dragon character (of whom he has no full-body pictures online, so I had to do some guesswork) for Valentine's Day:
( Auri Dragon Plush )
Speaking of Annie (my dog) and my boyfriend, here's a picture:
( Annie, Brian, and Me )

11:16 pm - One Word Meme
|
These are kind of fun. :D Snagged from Mindy:
- Describe me in one word... just one single word.
- Leave your word in a comment before looking at what words others have used.
- Then (if you desire) copy and paste the meme to your journal to find out how people will describe you when limited to one word.

So the FYE in our town is going out of business, so they had all merchandise marked down in price. They're the only place in town that carried Castlevania figurines, so Brian and I high-tailed it to see if there were any left.
I got the Simon Belmont figure I wanted so badly. :DDDDDDDD
Anyway, pictures and artwork next weekend. I'm excited about Valentine's Day. <3

What type of Fae are you?
That does sound a bit like me, unfortunately. :x
I'm at home for the weekend (I'm grabbing my dog to take her back to college), so I actually should get things scanned while I'm here, as well as work on other crafts. :D
