HAPPY BIRTHDAY BICE!!!
aka sybarita
I don't have a gift for you right now but I'll have it later!

AHHHHHHHH SO MUCH HAPPY TODAYYYYYY
SO I WENT TO SEE A MOVIE
with Jasmine and Ambar and the other Julia
It was 2012
Which was pretty epic
and full of destruction porn
and I giggled like an idiot with the Rio de Janeiro part because of the voice-over which reminded me of that one time I went to a laser tag with my brother, and whenever we got hit the vest said, "Oh! I've been hit! I have been temporarily deactivated!" IT WAS THAT SAME TONE
Another giggle fit when they saw the big airplane in Las Vegas.
( Spoilers- do you care about those? )

OK BUT
THAT'S ALL EXCITING STUFF BUT
THE MOST AWESOMEST PART
IS THAT I WENT TO GAMESTOP
AND I BOUGHT
PHOENIX WRIGHT
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL, TOO
AGAIN
I AM SO HAPPY
I feel like part of my soul has been restored
but now I gotta find my DS charger
and play the hell out of these games

OK um
and I also went to Barnes & Noble.
I checked out the Graphic Novels section and found this one called "Berlin" which looked really awesome and I started reading it and it was very interesting.
But then I had to leave it there because I'm a derp and after spending $30 on videogames I couldn't bring myself to buy a book SOB I'm so lame
But what impressed me at first was that I started drawing this one comic yesterday, and the opening scene is really similar to that of Berlin.
Although they're kind of different. Kind of really different. But they both have trains. And German people. Mine has no plot though.
It's kind of presumptuous and has Nazis in it. My comic, I mean. Berlin also has Nazis but it's less lame than my comic.

I think I'm kind of rambling here... My room is a mess and I have no bedsheets...

I feel so apathetic.

Applying for college and stuff.
I don't like anything anymore.
Animation? Yes. I know what I want.
But even though I want so strongly, I can't act on anything.
The application sits untouched.
And when I look at the portfolio requirements I want to cry.

Why is it so difficult for me to do this?
It's not like I'm lacking in anything...
But I am weighed down with something that isn't even sadness.


Uncle Fla... sometimes I wish you could inspire me more.
But then I wonder if that's what I really need.

fghdghhdfkghdfghfdghjdfkhjg.

To my American peeps, Happy Thanksgiving!
To my not-American peeps, happy Thursday!

OK SO
This weekend I went to the CTN animation expo!! It was super fun and I had a great time.
On Friday I just kinda wandered around looking at things because I was too shy to talk to anyone. I bought some Power Puff Girls comics and entered a drawing contest but I ran out of time so I couldn't win ffff
But it was soo cool looking at all the awesome art *-*

On Saturday I wandered around again, talked to some of the artists, who all told me that Cal Arts is the way to go, but I knew that already.
I shouldn't be ashamed that I draw anime style, should I? :[

I went on Sunday, too, but by then there wasn't much left to do.

I attended a whole bunch of panels, including one with DON BLUTH AHHH he's a pretty awesome guy in person, too XD he has a good sense of humor. And also stuff about the movie 9, and the internet, and Mike Mignola. All quite awesome. I got to draw on a Cintiq tablet, which was super fun, and I watched this demonstration on animation software.

And Stephen Silver and Craig McCracken were there *-*

And I also saw Toon. Toon was one of the very first artists I started following on DA. I knew her from the Butch Hartman forums since 2005. I told her I'd be wearing a bright checkered jacket, and she said she'd be wearing bomber jacket. So we ended up in the 9 panel together, when I noticed she was sitting behind me, and was all o////o

as we left the panel we ended up next to each other. I looked at her jacket, she looked at my jacket, we looked at each other, said "hi" at the same time, and shuffled off in separate directions.

That was... interesting....

I'll post an actual journal later. For now, have a meme.

( OC meme )

Whoah whaaaaaat I haven't posted anything in 9 days! I think that's the longest I've ever went without posting since I started a regular journal...

I do have some important updates, but they'll have to wait, because I gotta go to bed.
