Art news: Lots of art news. I'm releasing a sneak peek of Super Mario Royale vol.4 tomorrow. Also, some new works in progress, some exclusive work for project 305's Hecate and Eros, and blank line art for anyone who wants to color it. I also have a big project called "Top 5 favorite FF couples". I may or may not get it done til like...the end of next month or more. >_<

Movie news: I went to go see Transformers 2 (two times now). Sam is a nerd, Kayla is sex, Jetfire is love, Optimus is pure epic-win, and Megatron was bad ass. The reviews were wrong as well, go see it, it's awesome. You won't regret it. Just be sure to use the bathroom beforehand, it's a two hour long movie. XD I know there's more to it than that, but I don't trust myself to not release any spoilers. I still like the 1st movie, but this one was awesome too.


Personal life: Well I have good news and bad news. I learned through my uncle in San Diego that he found that kid Alex from high school who helped me out through a dark time in my life. He's in the Seabees in Port Hueneme and was transferred to Coronado, a base that I spent my summer growing up on. I had no idea he joined the service, but now, after finding out through my relation, he wants to meet me again. At least talk to me through the phone. My uncle said Alex was overjoyed to know I was still alive, after mistaking me for another girl with the same name in a local obituary(seriously?). But god, what on earth can I say after I disappeared for five years?! I mean, he still remembers me? How? Why? I'd think he'd just, you know, go on with his life and go to some fancy college or get married or something like that. So now....now he has my number, and I'm jumping every time my "hello" rings. Why am I so nervous? It's not like he's gonna kill me over the phone, but still, I'm worried. God...I'm such a coward. It should be so much easier now, because I'm the not the girl I was before. But what the hell do I say? How much has time changed us? Is the friendship still there, or will it just be dead silence? Wish me luck this afternoon...I hope things well. >_>;;


Pet news:

I have two new pets. you guys probably forgot I own hermit crabs, but anyways a new crab has joined my others, all six: Widget, Router, Toggle, Vector, Navi, Perl, and Proxy. I'm going to try to find a name for her soon, so far now she's just Crab #7. I'm also proud to say, Widget my oldest crab of five years, has just upgraded himself today. I found pieces of his body strewn around the tank, and looked into his shell to see a pale white blob of gel with black eyes, moving around a bit inside. Even though I've had these guys for years, it's still strange to see them like that. They look so...soft and gooey, like a jellyfish. It's kind cute and gross at the same time. To think I eat their larger cousins for dinner, if they only knew.XD

As for a second pet, that one might be Josh's friend Ben, who has just discovered my green-lip mussel soup hasn't killed him, and that's it rather tasty. So now he visits under the guise of being my Dad's new helper with the cement mixers, all while eying that pot of soup cooking in the kitchen. My Mom makes cracks about him being a potential love interest(being that a the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.), but with the six year age gap...not happening. Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy to hang around with, very quirky, nervous, but natives don't really do it for me. Our relationship is purely friendship based on both sides. The cultural gap between California and New Mexico is a very strained one, and has been so for the past few centuries. I'm all for transcending boundaries and what-not, but it's not gonna start with me. However, things are really heating up between my cousin Josh and Carly(Ben's sis). All those trips alone together fishing...hmmm? Me thinks something is happening up at the lake. Looks like it's not just the fish he's baiting for!

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd that's it! Oh! I forgot. In the same treatment of Thornqueen's journals, I'm going to share a story with you all on what happened this 4th of July.

You see, 4th of the July is my cousin Cele's birthday, and every one of those birthdays goes out with a bang....literally. All courtesy of the only twins in my family, Joe and Julian. They're cute, mischievous 11 year olds who live to cause chaos and misery in their wake to unsuspecting people. They're known for their ingenious pranks, that god only knows how they can come up with. This year was no different. We expected them to do something that day in some way, so we had the idea of tiring them out at the park. By the end of the day, they were asleep in the den, and we decided to get the party rolling. Thinking we avoided a disaster, my aunt Stella took out a large two layer ice cream cake from the freezer. There was a hesitance to cut right into it, as we feared it would explode like last year, so she went slow. After awhile she cut into it, and found nothing there. We all let out a sigh of relief.

She served the cake around, and we had a nice time. We woke the twins up and served them cake, eating it happily all while wearing odd smiles. * My cousin Chris noticed this*. It wasn't until my aunt cut into the second layer later on, that she heard the sickening sound of a pop and then a boom! The second layer gave away like a two story house during an earthquake. Frosting, bread and ice cream went flying, followed by a second pop that spread some strange bright pink fluid everywhere. Some of us ducked, some of us ran, and some of us, like Cele, sat there in a daze. It took awhile to figure out just what happened and what exactly we were covered it with. My cousin josh took a lick from his shirt and said....

" It's Pepto Bismal."

It took exactly five seconds more for Cele's face to become red with rage, trampled her way into the living room only to see the front door open, and the twins no where to be seen. And their four year record continues on!XD I hope those two never work in a bakery, although they have a promising career in any demolition company.
