Okay. I have some things to say I think, but first, an OC Quiz!

STOLEN FROM

1. Fill up the blanks with your OCs, or favorite characters/ Put their names by the numbers, too.
2. Answer the questions, or try to.
3. TAG 3 people.

*picked out of a hat just for you*
1) Julie
2) Nick
3) Clone Trooper Man
4) Tess
5) Zach
6) Simon
7) Vicky

1. What if 7 (Vicky) and 4 (Tess) kissed?
I can't imagine what circumstances would have to occur, honestly. XD If however some horrible misfortune befell them I suppose Vicky would... either go all lovey-dovey otaku or beat the crap out of Tess, and Tess would show no reaction but would be dissolving from the inside.

2. Where would 2 (Nick) bury a treasure?
DEEP IN HIS HEART. YOU HEARD ME.

3. 3 (CTM) and 7 (Vicky) get into a fight. Who resorts to violence first?
Well seeing as CTM is bred for war and Vicky is a short tiny school girl... Vicky would most definitely. Don't underestimate Tae Kwon Do, and don't over estimate its ability to discipline her.

4. 1 (Julie) is kidnapped and their kidnapper demands a ransom of 1,000 dollars from 5 (Zach). Do they help 1 (Julie)?
Of course, after he had a mental breakdown and divised several failures of plans to get her back before resorting to his secret robot army.

5. Who is stronger? 6 (Simon) or 4? (Tess)
They are both probably physically weak, but Tess has an advantage because she's a vegetarian and only eats organic food therefore 10x healthier. Then again, no one knows how physically able Tess is in anything because she sits out in gym. XD

6. Who is 1's (Julie) secret love?
80
ALIENS AND ROBOTS No secret.

7. Can 2 (Nick) juggle?
What CAN'T he do? Honestly the man is a genius in every respect. Not really. No. Hmm. I think he has the hand-eye coordination for it though.

8. 1 (Julie) is asked on a date by their favorite actor/actress. Do they accept the date?
I don't know if she has one XDD But if she actually did she'd probably go just for the hell of it, do all the romantic things associated etc. but would refuse to actually do the falling in love bit.

9. What is 5's (Zach) biggest fear?
He is afraid of a robot uprising, an alien invasion, but most of all being THE LAST MAN ON EARTH.

10. A meteor is about to hit the planet, can 7 (Vicky), 2 (Nick), and 4 (Tess) stop it?
No. Tess wouldn't care, Vicky and Nick wouldn't be able to cooperate. Plus they have a serious lack of technology/superpowers/robot army

11. Is 5 (Zach) single?
Yes, and he intends to remain that way.
I have this idea that he has a secret inner desire to lead a perfectly normal life with a wife and two children but... he's not very good at that.

13. Does 1 (Julie) wish this TAG was over
YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS.

14. 6 (Simon) and 7 (Vicky) are dancing to the waltz. 2 (Nick) comes in and sees them dancing. 2's (Nick) reaction?
Nick: ....
Simon: UM-
Vicky: IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
Nick: ...
Simon: Please don't be mad-
Nick: ...tee hee hee.
Simon: *stares*
Nick: I PLAY WINNER.


15. 2 (Nick) and 4 (Tess) go to the movies. What movie do they see?
STAR TREK BUT THEY CAN'T BECAUSE IT COMES OUT ON DVD TODAY. EVEN TESS WOULD BE SWAYED BY CHEKOV'S ADORABLE ACCENT.


16. You are attacked by 1 (Julie), 3 (CTM), and 5 (Zach). Can you survive?
Against Zach, totally. Julie, maybe. CTM, if he had orders or a grudge, not a chance. But we're best buddies so...

17. What is 4's (Tess) favorite color?
GREY.

18. Can 7 (Vicky) sing?
She thinks she can but she has no talent at all, at least in front of others.

19. A vampire bites 2 (Nick). 4 (Tess) sees this, what do they do?
Tess: Vampires are a government conspiracy, there is no such thing-
Nick: SHUT UP THIS IS LIKE THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE I CAN PLAY VIDEO GAMES FOREVERRRRR.

20. All the characters get into a battle Royal. Who will win?
Clone Trooper Man hands down totally yeah uh huh that's right break it down now word.

21. Well, now it's over! Tag 3 people

NO YOU TAG THREE PEOPLE.

--------------------

Okay, I don't have school tomorrow. My school's trying this new thing where people with over 80% in any classes can get permission to stay home or study independently, or to partake in any of the seminar sort of things- for example in Bio an embalmer is coming to talk about funerals, and in English/Social the'yve got an aboriginal hoop dancer. There's also "Colour Spectrum" underwhich it says "Explore your personality" or something like that. I'm staying home, but I kinda feel bad that I'm missing these things... Oh well. I need one more day off. XD And I think it's good too, for once the students with high marks can spend their time on other things, and those who need help have an entire day to catch up or ask questions in order to reach that 80% plus. I've always been an A student so... XD

We had another 'enrichment day' where there were a million classes to sign up for (Everything from Art History to Pumpkin Carving to watching Apocalypse Now which I've never seen but it's based on Heart of Darkness so I don't plan on seeing it. I'm an avid reader but Heart of Darkness was three chapters of root canal, spinal tap, and dysentary. That painful. XD) I took a mandatory class on Norway (which I totally enjoyed), Art History (I THINK I'VE FOUND MY NICHE), the 'Japanese English Connection' which wasn't as good but it was nice to review, and then a spare block to work on art projects. I was horribly cold (and later got sick) throughout the whole day and it was one of the best experiences of my educational lifetime. XD
We're one of the pilot schools testing this thing out so hopefully it'll spread out to other schools in the future. Eventually we hope to have an incredibly flexible highschool system (Of course, I'll be long gone by then... *sigh* but my sister will hopefully get some of those benefits.)

ANYWAY THE POINT IS I'M STAYING HOME TOMORROW and possibly going to my dad's office downtown, and I have some things to work on...

FIRST OF ALL I gotta get some sketchbook assignments done for art class. They aren't fun. ><

Then there's that to do list down there... I keep forgetting about it. XD

Then there's the matter of "WHAT SHOULD I DRAW?"
I've been drawing a TON of Hetalia lately. I haven't had the inspiration or motivation to draw my own characters recently because they remind me of Oishio who... *sigh* Well, she's way too obsessed with 'growing up' and being 'an adult' and 'self sufficient' and all I ever hear from her now is how different things are and all the problems and how she was just in the hospital and I had no effing idea.
God damnit.

I did draw Simon today. And Zach in the margins of my bio notes.
I can't help but drawing Simon really sad and serious, I keep getting this character development for him from English class especially- he's not turning into a sad character by any stretch, but he's starting to form words around his whole 'emo' thing and is starting to realize the real tragedies behind the whole fad, the same way I am. I can't really explain it right now. But I don't know how I'm going to get to that point in the story...
I don't feel like I can do chapter two yet... I'm sorry, I'm just not ready for it. I feel like the whole comic is still searching for a direction, themes, morals, whatever. I'm getting closer to that though...

Hmm. Anyway, I have been drawing a lot of Hetalia. If there's any other fan art you want to see from me, APH, DAH, Star Wars, whatever, let me know and I'll try and do some. XD I wanna know what you guys want to see because I'm selfish and need comments. If you want to see my OCs go ahead, but again I'm having some troubles with them. Then again knowing someone wants to see them would probably help. XD If you have any suggestions or ideas on how you want to see them, please let me know, I'd appreciate it.

Hmm... so far I've been very good at reaching my goals. I've done a new kanji (Along with an APH fan art) every day since September (Haven't memorized much) which you can see here , I got 40/40 on that research paper I was talking about last time (My teacher said she'd never given a 40/40 before on a research paper. XD I feel special. She's using it as an example. ) I've got 80s and 90s in all my classes (Remember, 80% is an A in Canada. XD) and my art teacher is actually very proud of the work I've been producing this year (Which I'll show you next time she takes pictures and we can update our portfolios)

I still need an idea for my next project, it's a black and white print and it needs to be all stylized and textured and I don't know what to do. XD It can't be a kanji because my friend is already doing one.

Speaking of art I'm signed up for a trip to Phoenix Arizona. We're visiting ghost towns and learning how to take pictures. It sounds exciting.

Anyway I've been feeling really good lately, despite the cold and the constant threat of swine flu. I'm really cold right now and I shouldn't be. I think I'm getting sick again. But other than that and being worried about Oishio, I feel really calm and enlightened and less chewed up with stress and worry. The good school year has a lot to do with that, and maybe even being apart from Oishio has something to do with that (But in all honesty I do love her to death and worry about her all the time- though it's hard to say it- and REALLY wish she'd give up on this 'independence' thing. Some socialist she is, honestly. XD She needs help and authority and I can't give that to her and I really wish she'd go back home... but she won't listen to me...)

*sigh* This is the only thing that's been causing lumps in my throat recently and I need to get it out.

Oh, did I tell you about my recent love affair with Knights of the Old Republic? I couldn't find Wind Waker and started playing it and it actually didn't crash when I got to the bridge of the Endar Spire. I just got to Tattooine and had my ship overun with gizkas. XD THEY'RE SO CUTE. Thanks for such a beautiful game, Bioware. I love how everyone has a name and a story, and the reflections and shadows and textures and how the backgrounds fade into the distance.... *sigh* Even non-Star Wars fans would probably get some sense of enjoyment out of the story and characters...

Anyway, I'm going to sleep. Those of you on the East Coast you'll be in great conditions for the Leonid meteor shower tonight (until Saturday) Try and catch it in the early morning between midnight and dawn.. I don't know if I can stay awake/wake up early enough for it. XD I can't tell if the sky is clear from down here but I'll go upstairs and take a look. (You'll be at the best position if you're in Asia. Europe and Africa are out of luck unfortunately. D: )

Good night!
