XD I never finish anything. Star's contest entry is almost done-ish, but school ate my life so I haven't had much time to work on it. I found gloves to maybe start working on Allen innocence, and I really need to get my hands on some aluminum or something to start on Abel's armor. We're going to try making it out of metal which will be awesome but will hopefully not kill me.
I ended up watching like 3 different animes just before school started all of which were awesome and amazing. The first being Wich Hunter Robin which I really like but I hated the ending, and I can't find the manga. The second is a new one they just translated called Baccano! which is so epic awesome, and has a blond girl with glasses that I could cosplay as which is even more epic, and I found the whole series for like 37 bucks which is only like 10 more than 1 DVD, but it's not available until Dec 29 but that's not to bad of a wait for a deal that good. The last of which was Axis Power Hetaila which is epic hilarity, and I need to see if it's been updated recently. There's a lot more that I need to watch but as I said school, and club, and college have kind of eaten my life. I might post so random sketches but done expect much, not that I post regularly or anything XD and my style for drawing eyes changed like twice in one week, it's weird.

Leaving for New Mexico tomorrow! Going to be there until the thirteenth! I'll try to post lots of stuff when I get back... so yeah really short journal.

I have decided to rewrite the beginning of "A Different shade of Gray" because I am stuck on how to get to the next part of the story, and the best way to move forward is often to go back. Also I think that that start gives it a to serious tone. It needs to have a lighter tone so when the plot gets going it's much more dramatic. It also goes to much into the stress between the Aredains and the humans which isn't really what the story is about. So I'm going to restart. I most likely will post the new first chapter but I might not.

I also have a new mission for this summer that is to re-read "The Hobbit" through the "Return of the King". And maybe the Silmarillion. But I also have a lot of things I need to read that people have lent me

XD Recently I have realized that I am very art ADD, meaning that I end up starting a picture and then get distracted but something, then I get a new picture idea and never end up going back to the old one.Which is my feeble excuse for never updating XD. I do have some on the way though so look forward to that, and now that it's summer I'll have time to work on art and props. As well as anime watching ^^

As for the discovery, I was cleaning my study today and found my old Fullmetal art book that has random facts. One of those facts being-
Ed is 5'4" with his boots on -.-
I am 5'2" without my boots on......I am almost the same height as Edward Elric.......-.- that is to ironic.



oh yes since you wern't there the last day of school Rose, I should tell you. I got to watch Doctor Horrible in Washington State History....ha XD <3
