Summer is far too long to occupy me.
1 min read
I *really* just wanted to get that Twilight journal off the main page. I was getting sick of looking at it XD
Sooo...what've y'all been doing all summer?
As for me, it's been missing school, working, driving, and wading my way through a frustrating artblock that I'd like to crush with a sledgehammer ASAP. But I'm going to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when it opens at midnight on the 15th, and then visiting m'love in Chicago ten days later X3 I can't wait!
I've also been thinking about opening for commissions come late August/early September. They'd be pretty inexpensive as far as commissions go, but I'm not really sure what sort of pieces to offer yet. What say you to the idea?

NSKNFKDWLKFCNDELIAJFDSA BREAKING DAWN.
BELLA FINALLY DID SOMETHING WORTH DOING. THE VOLTURI ARE A-FREAKING-MAZING AND I LOVE THEM. EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE EVIL. AND DMLWADKSANFKDNMODMAO MJOASK AAAAALLLIIIIIICCCCEEEEEE!!!!!!! I adore Alice, she's the best/most interesting character in the entire series, I swear. She's the most human of the lot of them, not passive and boring like Bella, not irritatingly flawless like Edward, not just plain EFFING IRRITATING like Jacob, and she has a PERSONALITY!!!! The sheer depth of my good mood right now cannot be dampened at the moment even by all of the suckage of the last three books. Why, if I say they were full of suckage, did I bother to read all three of them, and make it through the fourth? BECAUSE I'M A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT. AND VAMPIRES. AND PUNISHMENT. AND ALICE. AND JASPER. AND ALICE. AND PUNISHMENT. AND VAMPIRES.
...
wow, i'm pathetic. *hangs head in shame*

Woo Christmas
1 min read
HI I'M HOME AND BORED AND REEEEALLY DON'T WANT TO GO TO WORK. So I've been doodling up some christmas gifts and baking like woah. Burned my thumb, too 
But there's so many cookies in this house it's insane. There's something like three batches of sugar cookies, one of butter cookies, two of chocolate chip, and one of dark chocolate peanut butter. And we're buying more ingredients this week to make I dunno how many batches of thumbprint cookies and probably ones with Hershey kisses in them this coming weekend.
I MISS MY SCANNER. It lives on my desk up at school and I won't see it again til January 11, but when I get back, expect MASSIVE ART DUMP LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!! *evil laughter*

8 Facts 'bout Tora
5 min read
Lilifox over on FA made this meme, and I kinna wanted to try it out :3
1. Welp, first off, Tora-chan ("little tiger" in Japanese) was the nickname I was given by my best friends when I was...14, at the beginning of soph year. Hence when she first appeared in my setchbook, and her name.
2. I began to ONLY draw myself as a tiger on an Ash Wednesday prayer service booklet DURING MASS at my high school the next year. I was sitting next to
, okay?!?! And I had too much on my mind that day to be Jesus-y. Her character and mine were actually fighting over Edward Elric in that first little comic-sequence :3
3. I used to ONLY draw Tora in my junior year high school uniform until about midway through frosh year in college. That was back when I really defined myself through my friends, it felt weird to put her in anything but the gray sweater and black&red plaid kilt.
4. ceres19 and I used to draw ourselves/fursonas in comic strips on post-it notes during our useless Spanish III class. I think my favorite of those comics was when Tora zapped ceres19's ratbastard ex into a pile of ashes she promptly vacuumed up. My next fav was when we tripped our cartoonified evil nazi Drawing&Painting teacher into a vat of acid.
5. When I started drawing Tora, I had no idea that the furry subculture existed. She was just cuter than human!me. It wasn't until late junior year that I realized that I wasn't the only one out there who loved to draw animal-people.
6. For the most part, Tora is me to a T. I draw her in my clothes, doing things I love to do. She has my hair and build, everything. The only backstory I feel she needs is that she's been through everything I have, and if people don't know me then I don't feel the need to broadcast it through my fursona unless I illustrate it.
7. I'm running out of things to talk about...I feel that if I didn't have Tora to draw through the whole of my junior year of high school and first semester of last year, I'd be a lot worse off than I am. These were probably the toughest times I've lived through to date, and she makes it a lot easier to put down on paper what I'm feeling. Through her I can illustrate things I don't feel comfortable talking about with my roommates or other friends up here at school.
8. Now I'm SERIOUSLY hunting for things to talk about...Oh! My mate Ryan,
, currently has a drawing I did of Tora up on his wall. I actually got to know him through Torakins! Fun story, that is...In the fall play up here at school last year, I was acting alongside his roommate, Tim, and my character had to hit on Tim's character. It was awkward as hell - I had to wear friggin lingerie in front of the kid and everything for that role >.< But anyway, Ryan came to see Tim in the show and I met him in passing afterward. Tim had told him that I liked drawing anthropomorphic animals, and told me that Ryan was a furry, too. I was relieved I wasn't the only one, but at the same time I was like...well, what's this kid like? I'm REALLY shy with new people. When we came back to school for spring semester, Tim had persuaded Ryan to do the musical. So, after we all got cast and such, another friend of ours from the fall show threw an OnStagers party, and that was the night I really started talking to Ryan. We were two of maybe three kids who stayed sober at that party. We started talking that night, talked some more during rehearsals, IMed each other and such, and he asked if I'd draw him as a fox. I said sure. Apparently in the first month or so of rehearsals, Ryan had been blatantly trying to get my attention. One night he mad up some excuse to come visit my RA (his ex-roommate) to come se *me*. I was then and still am EXTREMELY dense, and didn't realize what he was doing. He invited me amd my RA over to play Rock Band, and the rest is history. We've been together for 8 months as of today :3
