Well today I made this little space of me :)

It looked interesting and i dont have a blog on my site

my books are coming soon from the same person that sold me my RG Veda artbook :D

And now im meant to do my hw.....:X

10th
apparently there is a "warden park girl walk" involving a tiny designer bag and high heels, this is incredibly sterotypical, i dont have a tiny designer bag. Problem solved: ban tiny designer bags. Ha.

18th
i have tracing paper clarkes stationers were trying to sell a pack of 50 sheets for £9, or there was another type for £1.80, hmmm and i got a leaflet from the post office with the prices for shipping when i sell things on ebay , and its all red and has little tables to work out the cost of shipping. OH and as it is February its already creme egg season, woooo. And i did a cool CG drawing 10 times with different colours and now i hav 2 go do either my science hw or my art.......oooo ART!!!!

19th
well ceri and i tried 2 arrange a shopping trip with everyone but it failed. We went yesterday with her cousin, Sian and we were gonna go today with everyone else. It was going well until the only ppl who cud go were me, cer and sian. Then sam turned up at the end but ceri had to go. So we walked home.

Now i hav magic knight rayearth music in my head after watching my Rayearth OVA i got on wednesday in brighton with katie, roz and laura. well i didnt get it, katie had to coz it was a 15. The animators took all the characters from magic knight rayearth and their motives, added a twisted edited spliced version of the storyline and some american voice actors; and got Rayearth. Emeraude barely said a word, so we didnt know how she felt, clef actually looked older than 10, rayearth was called lexus and the machin were called deities. Oh and there was no presea, or Gardina,Zagato was dead throughout the whole thing and was an illusion for Emeraude who was just a princess not the pillar. What happened to the pretty good dubbing and translation Manga entertainment did on RG Veda and the only "mistake" was calling Ashura a princess, the rest seemed to tie up well, all original names intact, american accents banned, where has good dubbing gone? (If only i could write about this for english, i could make a good argument of this, like the ones we have on the IMAF forum) Rg Veda included CLAMP pictures for the title and the credits.

There finished my little rant by going onto the IMAF forum and venting it there, whilst offering rikku_sohma another goat embroidered hankie. *runs off to the cookie bakery at the goat temple* i would now like my commission for mentioning the cookies.

And now the temptation is too strong; i must go do more homework

I did 8 pages of art and drew out the circles for my final piecenow i should do some more science and finish of the coursework. Then i will either do one of my websites or CG one of my drawings, the latter looking more interesting now i have tracing paper to go over my originals in black ink so that i can scan them then colour

20th
AAAHHHHHHHHH [msn] wont let me upload pictures i will now try to fix it again. Then i can put my new CG piccys on. Im working on one of sakura at the moment, ive scanned it and cleaned it up and have just started filling, then i will have to add shadows and highlights, which i also need to do for Kai and Tsura. I spent too much time trying out different colors and backgrounds on Kai and Tsura that i havent got round to trying to highlight the hair or add shadows. And as i hav been oh so busy with my homework i havent had time to finish off all the drawinga i was gonna do this half term. I have started young Ashura, like my profile photo only younger minus the blood and crystal raindrops sakura, sakura and syaoran in their matching battle outifts from the second movie, sakura with the pink winged teddy bear in her elementary school uniform and her junior high uniform, sakura and syaoran getting "married" under cherry blossoms and possibly another RG Veda, magic knight rayearth or chobits one.

I also have my battle to re-create all the person only for me/ city with no people books from chobits in watercolour pencil on A4. Im only on the books from chobits volume 2 out of 8. Meh.

Ive nearly got the image loady thing woopwoop

i finally got the picture loader to work, so now i have pictures

Now i must get some good photos to put on here.....

i kinda want to go bac to c al the ppls.

Anyways, i did my little projecty thing on CG and scanning manga pix and with lots of pics, well mainly pix it comes 2 bout 15 pages. so im happy

21st
school wasnt that bad, well actually it was quite good coz i got 2 c ppl again. I spent most of art wrapping bits of string up so that was ok although art does seem to drag on.....and on...and on and on

22nd
im actually finding talking to a webpage interesting, not as interesting as drawing the city with no people or tsura or ashura or manga...but still fun woopwoop *throws up arms* *then dances to Atlantis Princess by BoA, followed by No.1 and amazing kiss and then kimochi wa tsutawaru and not forgetting listen 2 my heart.* i never realised how talented she is, she is about 17 and was being taught japanese and english at 11 in addition to her native language korean before being taught how to dance and sing. Now she is like wow famous and tri-lingual!

24th
meh, the manga revolution is here!!! WHSmiths stocks manga!!!

25th
In addition to my weird liking for barbie shoe and guitar pick earrings which i have been making i have now decided to make legwarmers and hopefully wear them to Ceri's play tonight. Im going with Roz and Amber is going but she is going with georgia. So it shud b interesting to see how my legwarmers turn out, and whether they shall keep my legs warm or not....

Anyway, im gonna go now, we have creme eggs downstairs so im gonna go downstairs

26th
my sources *hush* say that Gwen Stefani's what r u waiting 4 was inspired by.... a manga book by none other than the ladies at CLAMP! The manga is Miyuki-chan in wonderland, the *CLAMP* take on Miyuki-chan, given their chobits humor, yes, Miyuki- our "alice"- follows not a bunny but a bunny girl, to strange worlds that many would love to visit but Miyuki would give anything to leave.

This would explain some of the japanese people with Gwen at a recent awards event. These are only rumors that Gwen has linked her video to the CLAMP manga but given images i have seen of both I would not be suprised. In the back of my *new* cardcaptor sakura art book there was a BIG feature on Miyuki-chan in the wonderland and it did look very like clips of Gwens video. News *from Amazon list person* of Gwen Stefani's interest in Japan would also explain all the manga related-ness.

So now i am trying to find her video to watch then i shall buy Miyuki and "analyse" to see if the two are linked. And i think Harajuka is mentioned in the song which is in Japan, im not sure if it is Harajuku r Harajuka, my dad has my japan tour book so i cant check. Found the line:

I cant wait to go back and do japan get me lots of brand new fans, Osaka, Tokyo, you harajuku girls, damn you've got some wicked style.

And the guide book does show Japanese *extreme* fashions, where legwarmers are in fashion along with the really loose socks, which schoolgirls wear.

and once again i say it is the manga revolution! 24 days till Japan ans sakura parties and dancing and manga and maybe copic markers....

But i have found a copic marker supplier in Worthing i think so i may try to look there and see the prices, they r really high so i would like ***cheap-ish*** markers for my manga, they r high coz CLAMP and other professional manga-ka use them, if not ill try neopiko or prismacolours which are the other brands that get mentioned quite a lot.

*tick tock tick tock what u waiting what u waiting for take a chance u stupid hoe* Now its in my head and all i can see is Miyuki-chan dancing to the song How odd that manga and chart music can link up

Ok now im tired night night

Many would die for a glimpse at new worlds...Miyuki would do anything to have them go away. (Advert for mikyuki chan in wonderland)

28th
art was good, i found the markers, yus the markers. now im saving for the not-so-cheap but wonderfully amazing Copic markers which come in *like* 214 colours!

Ive also decided that i wud like 2 learn how to high kick like in chicago and learn how to dance properly, its sounded like a good idea at the time.

***I like my men like my coffee.......ground up and in the freezer***

***time flies like and arrow, fruit flies like a banana***

***i wondered why the frisbee was getting bigger....then it hit me***

***come to the dark side, we have cookies***

***if all else fails stop using all else***

***lead mt not into temptation, i know my own way***

***i am in shape, round is a shape***

***rock is dead! long live paper and scissors***

***of course im out of my mind, its dark and scary in there***

***im not cynical, everything just sucks***
