Alive
Monday, January 22, 2007
Hello all! My crushed soul and I have nothing profound to announce at the moment. I am sorry, especially to those of you who have been waiting so long for my annual life-changes post. Rest assured that there is actually a lot going on in my life. The only reason why I haven't said anything is that it would take more emotional energy than I have left trying to disentangle and abridge it all into one coherent piece of text ^__^;;. For now I will give you this: that most of my questions remain unanswered.
Thoughts from the last couple months:
- Finally Core2Duo MacBooks! Mine (2Ghz white) arrived the first of December. Bliss!
- Java, Obj-C, Ruby, my insanely wonderful developer friends... I am so in debt to you.
- At some point I turned 20. The day began nightmarishly, but was later made exponentially better by some crazy people who shocked me by remembering/figuring out my birthday... <3
- I made it out of biology class alive and even got some nice character designs out of the taxonomy study ;D
- Went up to Chicago several times for museums and happiness. Unfortunately the Sears Tower security guards did not let us use the stairs, even though I begged nicely.
- As Candid HQ is no more, Candid Manga is also no more :-(. Ohwell.
- I have a new string quartet! We play Final Fantasy songs and themes from Pride & Prejudice! Yayayay
- Gasp, I joined one of my church's young adult groups; what could this mean?
- Working out is like the only thing I've done on a consistent basis. All of December's weather was perfect for jogging, even Christmas Eve. I'd take this over a white Christmas any year!
- Oh hey, I still love my job and I've been there almost three years now, craziness.
- A whole bullet point to say -- Tony rocks because he knows about all my problems, yet he still talks to me :-). I don't know why. It's a very relieving thing to have friends like that.
- Another bullet point to say -- Wolf rocks because he totally exudes magic and happiness and good taste and for some reason doesn't mind hanging out with plain old unmagical me. Cocoa rocks, PSIG rocks, red/green/gray walls? IT ROCKS!
- Weien has demonstrated that he is completely insane -- so now I'm pressuring him to put out a whole CD and start a Random Weien Podcast Show ;D. He's already produced the first clip of Random Weien Quotes: AUDIO EDITION! MP3 here.

Sigh...
Originally I was going to have her playing the harpsichord, but that just seemed stale to the point of being sickening!
For some reason, Weien is really weirded out by this character XD
I hate this pic; why did I draw it?? lol
I start feeling guilty when everything I draw is young, relatively good-looking female cartoon characters. So to atone for my sins I attempted to paint a mildly realistic lady. I even did it in a mildly high resolution :D. THANK YOU 1GB OF RAM IN MY MACBOOK. Photoshop running over Rosetta is surprisingly usable.
Here's a creepy close-up! Original res of this thing was 1500 x 1290 px.
That's it for now. First day of school today!! This is going to be the best semester ever, I can just feel it.

I actually like the 4th drawing best (the cute one you hate). The first one is cool as well - totally different than your usual style.

I'm more weirded out by the first drawing than the one Weien is. I'm pretty sure it's because I've seen that look before at parties. "Oh crap, Wolf spots me! He's going to talk code to me. Uhm, ::weak wave::"
If it pleases the jury: I contest your "plain old unmagical" characterization and move to have it stricken from the record. The evidence is stark: I only hang with kool kids.
Thanks for not making fun of my walls. I'm pretty sure you're the only one -- ever.
