Crystal Dagger

Well, I was trying to find a picture of San's dagger on the internet, and I couldn't find one so I made my own. I've discovered how to do that! Wahahah! So I might make more pictures some time when my computer "issues" are solved. Hopefully tomorrow cause John's coming over (the computer guy-I still call him the computer guy but I think his name's John.

Frost Dragon Redone

So, I redrew a frost dragon. Still long and swirly, but I suppose the proportions are closer to what I have in mind.

Plot Holes

Moan... Computers... make... my... brain... fry.............
Well, Like I said, I got a new computer. Yesterday, the guy who sold it came over to help with a few little things and we updated the computer, ex. And literally just after he left, I restarted it and everything was all screwed up. All my music and photos were gone (luckily I keep everything saved elsewhere so nothing's lost permanently) and I'd spent the past two weeks slowly going through my music and organizing it (which IS gone and I'm gonna have to redo).
And the internet's a bit screwed up...
So I don't know if it was the update or if I did something to screw it up...
So, I am using that computer now, so it works to an extent... but...
Yeah, the guy came over again today to help fix it. I feel kinda bad cause he doesn't live too close and he has to come back a third time cause we're gonna have to reinstall some stuff to make it work and everything...
Groan... I wish I could move to Magic-Earth or Soreina where they didn't have computer problems or wacky governments and laws and societies and people...

OK, changing the subject. Plot Holes. Always weird in a story. Of course everyone knows this. Oh well. One strange one I always notice in movies like Indiana Jones when someone takes a horse or something, and then they jump from the horse to the car, ex, and the horse kinda vanished into oblivion. Or when someone's holding something one minute and it's gone the next. When random things sort of vanish in the folds of the story... Make sure nothing any of you write sort of evaporates. Tell everyone what happened to it.
Yeah, I know I had a LOT of good examples of plot holes but I forgot them a few weeks ago and I don't know what they were. Maybe some time I'll remember them and put them up...
Bla. Sorry I'm cranky today. Yesterday and today=computer flop. Now I understand that picture I drew with me and Briena...
And tomorrow I got a midterm. But I took this class in high school so it should be easy. Despite the fact that I haven't studied yet and I really need to practice flute cause our concert's this thursday and I feel really lousy now and I wanna go to sleep....
Bottom line... don't bug me when I'm cranky. Luckily it doesn't happen too often...

PONYO!!

WAHAHAHAH! My first attempt at actually coloring a picture in photo shop! It took me forever to figure it out. Drew it, scanned it, and then colored it. I'm sure there's an easier way to color it than what I did, but I guess I don't have a fully updated program or something. I remember it working better on Mom's computer (yes, the computer in my room finally has internet! Before it was just my laptop and mom's computer).

HAAAMM!!

La Corda D'Oro

Ah, Ellen and Nicole gave me this big list of anime to watch and manga to read. So I've been slowly looking at a few of them. Actually, come to think of it, Angeles told me about this one. It's pretty good. I just saw the last episode a few minutes ago: La Corda D'oro.
I shall try to do a basic summary... and just sos ya know, any anime/manga I talk about here (like I've mentioned, I've only seen a few of them) will be on the tamer end of the range. I know that there are some REALLY strange ones out there.
So this takes place at a school that is spilt between music students and normal students. They have this competition where some of the best music students compete over the course of four selections. And this one girl, Kahoko, knows nothing about music. But she's chosen to participate, and she's given a magic violin that plays according to how she feels.
Now, you may know that I play flute. The flute guy seemed nice at first... but there were a couple episodes where he freaked me out. It never goes overboard though. And Nicole was right in that it does bog down a bit in the end.
Ah, and after watching this, I always want to go and play flute! Ah, if I were that good...
So, I approve. Go watch it.

The Animal Seven

Ah, at least a bit of explanation about the guys I put up. I think they're gonna be mostly siblings. I'm still trying to work out a lot of glitches about their story... but I'm pretty sure (maybe) that they'll end up in the story with the family that plays music. I don't know if I've mentioned them yet or not, actually.
Cat
Bird
Bat
Rabbit
Dog
Squirrel
Otter
If I end up going with the vague random normal plot I have in mind, Lavender will be the main character.
They all have different colored arm bands (but Ginko wears his on his finger cause it can't fit on his arm.)
And Piñon-needs some explanation. He's the youngest. They made the first six of mammals. And then they tried to make Piñon out of a bird, but they weren't ready to try blending a human with a non-mammal, so he didn't turn out too well. He ended up with one wing and one arm. So he can't fly, and he only has one arm. Poor guy. Ah, and here's the fun in his name. Piñon is a type of tree (cause all of them are named after plants). But pinion is also part of a bird's wing, and "pinioning" means to take off some of a birds feathers so it can't fly. And since Piñon cant fly... I though it was a good dual-meaning.
And Cyprus, well, let's see. Neither he nor Birch turned out too well. But I volunteer at the wildlife department at the humane society. And it is currently squirrel season. This year, I saw two squirrels (or maybe the same one twice, but unlikely) unlike any squirrels I've ever seen before. I mean, there are black squirrels, and then there were these two. They were completely pitch black-no other colors. They had really long silky tails, and tufted silky ears. They were the most beautiful squirrels I've ever seen. So, I tried to make Cyprus like that. He's supposed to be really handsome, but my drawing sucks. Sorry Cyprus!
Heheh. I was gonna have four boys and three girls, but I lost track as I was drawing them (I drew one each during my humanities class for a seven classes running just to bug Nick and Tracey). So, I accidentally made five boys. So at the last minute just as I'd finished drawing Willow, I realized that I was supposed to have another girl . So I changed Willow to a girl.

My cool guys!

Ah, I'll write about them later. For now, see if you can guess which animal each of them is. The first six are easy. Willow is harder. Look at her fingers.
