It's happened. Many of my classmates lacked the ability of thought....(water + nothing = ?)

So, found the perfect place to hang up my "No Face" costume.....over my bed..c: (whaaaa? it was the only bare wall in my room....). Now I can sleep at ease with a tortured face looming over me 8D Ya'know...'til a couple of nights ago when it fell and landed on my face...but....

Had another brush with fame. :D

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. 'Nuff said. Maybe not, this show is awesome c: And Jennas gonna buy me a my little pony toy :D Yes. I AM five years old. Thank you very much.

I think I may have a problem. A Sims problem. The only problem being that Sims 2 is making the computer run slow which in turn makes Sims 2 run slow. Which is where the problem is (plus, ya'know, the fact that I haven't been working on comics at all......technicalities...)  

Lune of the week: Steven Dollins. 

Lots of working on the WORLD'S LARGEST BEANBAG CHAIR this week....it t'was very tiring. And there were some (er..one) people (person) with very bad attitudes when it came to doing what they were told (not to do). Plus, comfort research sent the strips late--we couldn't finish this week-- and so they're going to be finished while we're at band camp next week (missing the fun with fun?). BUT they did give Jenna and I free beanbag chairs, "cause we're awesome :D (and because we've helped since day one with the concept and such, but mostly just because we're awesome). O'Malley really likes mine...but who wouldn't? They're beanbag chairs with back support and cup holders! 8D It may become my new comic-ing/blogging chair :3

My Betty Boop calender makes me feel like a pervert. ._.

To explain the contents of my bulletin board: I keep everything.

Hmph. You guys should comment more. ._. 

A) So that I know you're out there, legit. And b) to feed my blogger addiction to comments C:

Pwease? :c

Wanting a Sim-ple life.

Sometimes I like to pretend that people actually read this. You know, other than you guys. :D

You'd think if I had enough time to make up this excuse, for being late again, I'd have enough to make a comic. But, alas, here I go. This week has been the second most stressful weeks this summer. I had to;

• Work on the world's largest beanbag chair <--where I messed up my knee.
• Design/Create a label for and Old Orchard juice contest. <--sooooo not winning
• Create a logo for GVSU's writing camp's t-shirts.
• Sleep. 

All while playing Sims 2 and Nancy Drew games in between. Needless to say its been a long week and it's just going to carry on to the next week. ._. Plus, I haven't made any new comics lately...I kind of have only one---that is finished---left. So....a Sims 2 themed thing will have to do.....

Well, at least I was late because I was busy in life...not just, ya know the usual, forgetting.... 

Blue lake-ness:

I'm glad I'm not like other girls. Because when I know there is a lightening bug in the cabin, I don't have issues falling asleep. It's just a lightening bug. ._.

Promise there'll be more, an actual comic, next week? Chyes? 

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

*clears throat* I'M BACK!! :D Now ya'll can celebrate. Or, ya know, I could just celebrate some more. Needless to say, I didn't enjoy camp very much. I was there for 12 days and I didn't make any friends 'til the the 7th day. Plus it was extremely strict and if I notice that then it must be strict considering how chill I am (in my paranoid-laid back way). Plus, honestly, I'm in no way used to preppy white kids. ._.

You couldn't have band-aids. Unless, of course, you were a dancer (for blisters and such). If you needed one you'd have to go through the unit director where he/she would then document your need for a band-aid. Yeah. I know. But yes, no band-aids. Which was bad for me considering I'd brought some knowing I'd get hurt. I had my own stash and I felt like a drug dealer. But still, I used my band-aids lots and upon one of my cabin-mates approaching me I'd already planned out what I'd say. "I'll promise not to get high off of my band-aids if you promise not to tell anyone that I have them." 

 

Band-aid stuck. In my nose. Blergh. 

Shower time became a trip to the race horses. It was hectic and no one really won. My first shower experience there was horrible. I was stressed, tired, my clothes got all wet (because of the lack of water control), and I couldn't figure out how to turn the flipping water off. Why can't every shower system just be the same? I had to sleep in soggy under-roos :[ 

Luckily though, the next day, my showering experience would be magical. :3 

At Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp

I began to think more creatively.

Being a girl at camp in 80 degree weather, at some point I was going to need to shave my legs. Even if I had the confidence, I could never go European style. o__o But I'd already taken my daily shower, so I started to ponder.

I just went ahead and took another shower.

Despite my torturing experiences, I did manage to walk away with some pretty fantastical artwork. See two of my favorites below, darlings:

^ This was a drawing of my sculpture teacher's rocking bike. Upon drawing this, my drawing and painting teacher asked if I was one of the many camper girls whom had a crush on him. "Nope, just his bike."

I love his bike, man.

Yes, that is a peacock made from a mold of my hand painted blue. It's just wonderful that you noticed. c:

As many of my avid readers and, well, everybody knows Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 has been released. At 12:01am this morning. Though, having bought our tickets at the last minute, or family had to putter to the 12:02am show instead (quite sad, I know c;). Yes. We again are those kind of people. Ones who see Harry Potter and Toy Story at midnight (or midnight o'two). Regardless, it was epic. AND Jenna and I decided, the day before, that we were gonna dress up. :3

  

Jenna was a Ravenclaw student and I in Hufflepuff. Though, those who go to  Harry Potter showings don't seem to be as friendly as those who go to JAFAX and so no one thought us to be as awesome as we thought we were. ;)

So, we caught ourselves another woodchuck. And this one would live to see another day, unlike the last. x]

Well, darlings, I think it's 'bout time I go to bed. Since I've gotten back from camp I've been as sick as a dog on and off. Even after my epic bubble bath I'm feeling a bit ill. There were a lot of pictures tonight but I'll probably remember more stories of camp to blab about next week. Hoping your looking forward to it and I'll see you then c: 

Blue Lake Intermission. Stand by

                                                ^------Crayon scans very badly. :c

Anyway, these are both the original drawings of Mag and the first of the Life Less Times series.

As the beloved movie Toy Story preached; "You Gotta Friend in me"

Jenna was going to write a short story about a robot who fell in love, but couldn't be with them because his cord simply couldn't reach. That was months ago. She still has yet to begin. Oh, well.

Darn that extra life, always getting in the way. Like in Scott Pilgrim :D

*Some of the picture do have shadows, simply because--through elaborate tricking--I finally got the scanner to scan in the WHOLE image. And I wasn't going to redo it just to get rid of a little shadow. * 

I still haven't figured out a name for "Miss. Dancey Robot". Any suggestions?

            

That's me wetting myself in the corner. Not one of my proudest moments....

We're on the road again.

Lame comic update, I know. But there are two reasons for my lame-ness. For one, I really do need a creative intermission. I haven't made an actual comic in weeks, all I've mattered to sputter out were two pictures. Also I'm going to be at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp for the next 12 days (hence, me updating earlier in the week). Also, hence, the number of pictures--it has to last for two weeks :D So. Blue Lake. Oh, and I'm going for ART not music, because they actually DO have an arts section. Not that I couldn't go for music, with my rusty trombone, it's just when ever we mention Blue Lake they say "ooooh for music?". I'll be doing actual art (as in, not comics) for about two weeks in the middle of a forest. Yay.....

So, originally Jenna and I thought we were going to be in the same cabins, we'd asked in some advance if they'd do so. Turns out, the advance wasn't big enough.....so I'm all alone. When told this the secretary at WMCAT said "Don't worry, you'll be in a cabin with other girls your age". That was the problem. I have a phobia of girls my age. ._. 

Now at Blue Lake I'll either:

• Make lots and lots of friends, have a good time, and never want to leave.

or

•   Be quivering in a corner and marking each day off, with chalk, on the wall.

Knowing me it'll probably be the latter. I need to remember to pack some chalk. Hm..I also have to remember to pack..

Now I get it..

Think about it for a minute. Maybe try reading it out loud. No, everyone but me probably gets it right away. Most of theses comics are based on my swift moments of stupidity and this one shamelessly joined the ranks (in the same exact way as pictured above. I did think about it first, before asking.....shamelessly defeated....

So. JAFAX. Japanese Art Film Animation Expo. Yep. We're those kind of people. I used to think we were cool and cultured--exotic even. Reading Japanese manga and watching us some anime. But no. It just makes us weird. But I guess being weird is better than normal, 'cause I really like putting on costumes. Especially after I've spent a week on them. c:

Last year was Pokemon. I becoming a quite adorable, if I do say so myself, Pikachu. But this year would be different, one step higher. Last year there were three Pikachus but this year there was only one No Face. And it was me. x) Now, No Face is a character from Hayao Miyazaki's highly acclaimed Spirited Away. Most of the young-ins and non-anime-rs of today will know him as the creator of Ponyo (No, his movies are in no way anime, but I couldn't think of a better way to put it.) Though Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite, Spirited Away would have to do for today.

   

^---Chihiro   ^------No Face        

Yes! My Jenna returned from summer camp, at Michigan Tech, to be my Chihiro.

Yes. That is a foam airplane hanging over my head. I love our house c:

                               
Yeah. We're awesome. Nothing more to it. In all I gave three strangers hugs, had a billion people ask to take my picture, and only creeped out one or two starving artists. Everyone and their sister wanted my picture o_o Seriously man, I was more surprised when someone passing by didn't want my picture. Needless to say, I was pretty popular......for someone who couldn't make a mask that she could actually see through. Yes, folks. I was blindly walking about Grand Valley's Campus. Seriously. They were holding my hand, walking me around slowly, so I wouldn't run into anything or anyone. I'd have been lost without them. Literally. Seems like a day well spent, chyes?

So last week I'd written  "a baseball game between the Milwaukee Brewers against the.......Chicago Bears". It is quite obvious that I don't know sports. Please try and ignore my stupidity, let it entertain you for a bit, and carry on. :) (Don't understand the mistake? Well than just ignore this :D) 


Now I think it's off to bed for me. 'Tis hard acting like a character, that doesn't talk, all day. ;) G'night :o

P.S. No Face thinks Katsters, named Toby, are fluffy. Painfully fluffy.

Late Notice.

No, I didn't forget. Okay, maybe I did, but a lot has been going on today. Now it's 11:17 pm and I haven't even scanned this week's comic into the computer, plus I have no energy to create any kind of entertaining narration. So. I'm going to bed and I'll see you tomorrow. Possibly after rocking out at JAFAX. Who knows.

Canada, eh?

True story, man. Every saddening bit. But, low and behold, he has not yet set foot in Singapore or any other country that's looked me up lately (which is really good news :D). Observe the map below:  

So, I feel as though I need to make up for last week's speed read. Well, actually I don't feel that way but I'm gonna write a long one anyone (don't worry, there's some pictures too). So Tuesday-Wednesday I was in Chicago again c: (I know, I'm such a lucky bum). Though, this time, with a bit more action. That sounds bad....uh...with a bit more entertainment? No. Uh, never mind that, we went to museums and games. The first day we took an Architectural boat tour down the Chicago river, all the way out to Lake Michigan. It was pretty sweet. But cold. We'd then get dinner at a gourmet pizzeria, Giordano's, where I'd visit the world's smallest bathroom stall and then fly away in a cloud of perfume (yuck). Then a baseball game between the Milwaukee Brewers against the cursed Chicago Bears (they couldn't have been that bad and not cursed. Read the legend here). Again it was fun. But cold. Before the game was over we retired to our SPIFFY 3 STAR HOTEL on MAGNIFICENT MILE 8D We comfortably fit 6 girls in one room. It 'twas awesome. But kind of not when Jenna and I were ready to sleep before lights out and the other girl's were chatter bugs long after. But eh, we were trained to fall asleep to anything. Next, after an average breakfast, the Museum of Science and Industry. IT was HUGE. I'm positive it had everything, from cloned mice to baby chicks (which they actually had both of). And then an opportunity came that I told myself I couldn't miss and forced myself to do. I dissected a cow's eye. Because I could c; That's also where I meant Gary....

WARNING. THERE IS AN IMAGE THAT, SOME SAY, IS QUITE DISTURBING.

What?! I have to protect my identity! Plus, most of you know me anyway.

That's Gary =3 He's a Pig Brain that still has it's eyes still intact. In the picture all you can really see are his eyes, but he totally looks like Gary from Sponge Bob o: (without his shell, of course. Plus the ability to hold up his eyes...). At first it was like even Sponge Bob was saying "what the f**k?". But then when you began to think of him as Gary and not a brain he was kind of cute c: In a creepy way.......

Our trip to Chicago would end with a picnic in Millennium Park, with many friendly pigeons, seagulls, and sparrows. 

Well, off I go. I'm literally running off 4 hours of sleep and a 24oz cappuccino (all because Dem-dem is a infamous night owl and doesn't sleep 'til 2am..) 

 

Give me a break, I drew it in Paint.

Happy Nightmares :D

P.S. I want one of these.
