Uh, Mewtwo Commission?
So, a little while ago Apofiss opened quick Pokémon commissions for the first time. And they were cheap (this was only $3) so I got his very first commission (I think?). I asked him to draw Twilight. But he's not from America and I guess isn't great with English and somehow thought I said Mew even though I said Mewtwo twice. It's a little scary looking. But oh well. Weren't expensive or anything. And it's kinda a funny story too. Plus I do like Mew a lot also.
Polaris and Twilight Kiriban
I didn't actually pay for this one! This was a 3rd place sketch for Rock-Bomber's kiriban. I asked her to draw my baby Mewtwo, Twilight, riding Polaris. And it's soooo cute! (Polaris's leg doesn't bend quite right but I still think it's adorable).
Sun Dragon Commission
Ok. I've had these for a while but forgot to put them up. PearlEden is a beyond amazing artist on DA. She recently opened sketch commissions. I don't think I'll ever be able to afford a real piece from her, so I ordered a sketch of one of my sun dragons. Maybe I'll try coloring it as a few of my characters.

Tour de Nerdfighteria
It was so FREAKING AWESOME!!
Ellen, Kelly, Nicole, I wish you could have come. TT^TT But you will not come out of this loss empty-handed. You'll figure out what that means eventually.
You know you're in the right place when the line outside of the theater starts singing. Heheh.
John read us part of his book and then Hank sang us some of his songs. Like Strange Charm, Book Eight, Anglerfish, and This Isn't Hogwarts.
The audience was so energetic that I completely forgot about Tiny Chicken Disease. I had an awesome.
I also filmed almost every single second of the thing. I had to miss part of a song to switch tapes. And then I missed something else because John asked everyone to turn off their cameras (and I think he pointed at me) but that turned out to be a hoax anyway.
My arm got incredibly tired holding my camera up for an hour and a half. So you guys better be grateful when I get the chance to show it to you! ^o^
And of course I went up to get my book signed. I could only get one of them signed though. And I gave John and Hank their plushies. I think they liked them, but it was hard to tell because they seemed kind of overwhelmed by the sheer number of people. There were a LOT. Apparently we were the biggest audience they ever performed for?
I passed a letter to them. I wonder if they'll email me back. I also said hi to Katherine. Wish I could have said hi to the Yeti too.
Phew. That was awesome! I hope they like their dolls!

The Fault in Our Stars
Finished reading The Fault in Our Stars. And I stayed up faar too late doing it.
The book was pretty brilliant. The first half was really thoughtful and the second half was reaalllly sad. TT^TT
As always, his books made me laugh. I don't laugh often when reading a book (that doesn't include manga). And they always get you to think too. This is probably now my favorite John book.
One of my favorite parts is where Hazel says that her oxygen machine is like her own dragon. A dragon that cares about her enough to match its breathing to hers. And I went "YESS!" If I were in Hazel's position, that is EXACTLY what I would think. I'd have my dragon sleeping next to my bed, protecting me.
So, like I said, it was really late when I finished reading. I turned off the lights, but then realized that I wanted another pillow. As I walked into the hall to get one out of the closet, I couldn't help thinking how freaking lucky I am to be able to do something as simple as climb out of my bed and grab a pillow from the closet...

SOPA + PIPA
So, yes. This has been all over the place and everyone's talking about it. The SOPA and PIPA things. I'm not an expert on them, but I definitely want them killed.
There's so much about them out there that I don't really need to talk about them. But basically it lets companies shut down entire websites if they have any copyright infringements. And the way it's worded basically threatens every interesting wight on the internet.
So, yes. Bad.
I other words, I stayed up late working on Katani's story last night. I thought I might be able to finish it, but I underestimated it in my head. Playing through it in my head is a lot faster than writing it.
But I will do my best to finish it! I'm sooooo close! Right in the middle of the climax!
