Not even going to bother with the "omg, I'm alive, is been so long " deal cause... I guess every time I try to get up to date and be active here it doesn't work. XD All my pictures tend to be all top secret lately. Not cause they're special, just... cause they're being used for stuff. 9_9 *sad* Also, I've been trying to finish off my last year at community college and become transferable to another University. x_x Basically my life = no free time. Ever. Since I'm so easily distracted I cant even take my mind off these things.

BUT! I have happy news! o_o I've finally finished Crow issue 2! like.. a whole 6 months after it was scheduled to be finished >>; well... that's what school does for me, among other things. But I'm so glad to be finished. Hopefully my speed will improve as I come out with more manga. Later I'll post up the cover art~

If anyone's interested, MANGACANDY will be attending:

Naka-kon - Kansas City | Feb 8 - 10
A-Cen - Chicago | May 16 - 18
A-Kon - Dallas | May 30 - Jun 1 and
Tokyo in Tulsa - ... Tulsa | August 1 - 3

And I'll be there~ We'll have more manga and goodies in the Artists Alley~!

Ugh... XD I've been waiting for some time to update here at deviant, but time never came so I'm squeezing some in.
I must admit, I'm prompted by this whole Pixel art id thing I happened upon... I've never done pixel art so it interested me enough to sacrifice my precious project time and sleep time to create one of these addictive things. XD

I dont have any great big "masterpieces" to post. :< Well I have some new big stuff, but I cant post them yet. XD All a bunch of contest pictures and stuff for conventions that I cant put out prematurely. x_x Harg.

To everyone who has requested Gaia stuff from me:
Sorry, things came up and I've been horribly busy! Even now I'm supposed to be working on something that's due in two hours. XD; agh.. I probably wont be free for another few months but if you're still interested, I'll probably be okay to take on a couple. But for future notice: I DONT ACCEPT GAIA GOLD OR ITEMS. If I draw something it's for free and my effort will be at my discretion unless you want to commission me for something more special using real US Currency. Sorry folks, I dont play on Gaia anymore.

And sorry for not replying to your comments, friends. x_x Life and strife, blood, sweat and tears, work and all those typical excuses. I've barely had time to look at DA lately.

So far spring break has been awesome. Tiring, but awesome. I was mistaken when I assumed I'd finally have time to do stuff. xD I've been attempting to "relax" so much that i'm just procrastinating again. XD; Yay, I still have two papers to write and other various homeworks to do. ... and I no longer have any days off. only two and a half days left and starting thirty minutes from now I have to work the whole time. XD Well.. at least my work closes "early" over the weekend. There may be hope yet.
Outside of homework, I still have to finish up my second issue of Crow... Supposed to be done mid April. x_x *crosses fingers* Also Mangacandy's really cracking down on the game we're planning. :3 It's very exciting, I cant wait until we start getting things together.

In other news, here's the con list for Mangacandy, if anyone's interested in finding us.

Eeee.. I'mma be late. x_x *runs away*

How to write an opposing paragraph in your evaluative essay.

In order to effectively write your opposition paragraph, we need to address the objects; you and your opposing topics.
Now imagine: you are the Pimp, the opposing topics are your ho's.

Firstly, the more opposing topics you have, a more established pimp you will be.

Now, what should you do to your opposing topic? First, treat it well. Make it feel special by acknowledging it's own, individual views. Make it think that it has has something important to say. Then bitch slap that dirty ho using your opinions and supporting evidence and demand that it tell you who it's daddy (or momma) is.

If you have followed through correctly, you should have a humble and intelligent opposition paragraph to present to your honored readers.

Is some good ol' fashioned free time. Y'know?
I finally got my own tablet... my very own beautiful new 9x12 intuos 3 tablet. And sadly enough I've had it for about a month already, and I only just used it for the first time YESTERDAY. I've been stuck at work all the time. :/ Either that or my free time is eaten up by the various odd jobs and traveling to and from Lawrence for various things that my OCD tendancies wont let me ignore. All other time is spent attempting (and failing) to catch up on relaxing activities or sleeping. I wonder where that procrastinating little girl who once resided in me went. It may inevitably be for the best that she's gone, however, I wish she'd taken this pesky lateness curse of mine along with her if that's the case. That's still haunting me like fleas on a very dirty monkey.

Well if all goes according to plan, I'll be working on my comic in the immediate future and I'll have the next issue out sometime in... January was it? I'm not sure, I dont remember. o_o; And there are lots of other random things that Mangacandy is planning, despite the fact that the website has been dead since July. >>; Like games. o_o You know those dating games that are story based choose-your-own-end sort of set ups? Yeah, those. Except we dont have any actual dating games planned. I think. In any case I'm hoping it goes well. :3
