RESOLUTIONS

#1. I'm going to attempt to get a boyfriend.
No. Obviously. I think my problem is that the only guys I'm interested in are extremely geeky types, and I can't seem to find any ones who aren't jerks or boring. I WANT TO MEET THE KIND OF AWESOME PEOPLE I MEET ONLINE. I need a real geek, so we can talk about geeky stuff.

#2. I'm going to organize everything perfectly, and get the top grades in the class, no matter what.
Yes. Done. Only problem.....um....trig honors. I'm not acing that class AT ALL. Actually, I'm doing perfectly with the radicals, they're turning out great. But the first quarter....quadratic equations. ADFLSJ;. In fact, and this is really horrible, I failed my first test EVER. I got...I can't even say. I got a 58. IT WAS DEVASTATING. And not entirely fair...she took fourteen (14!) points off because I didn't include the table for a graph, but the test just said graph the equation. We were allowed graphing calculators, SO I graphed it. It was an incredibly long test, with not enough time, etc., and I just FLAILED. And failed. Anyway, besides that, my grades are perfect.

#3. I'm going to treat my friends with respect and dignity, and tone down the crazy just a bit.
I'd say yes. I have no idea what they'd say. Of course, I have been listening to all their ridiculous issues and nodding and giving advice, and I think toning it down. They know I like them, at the very least.

#4. I'm going to exercise regularly and stop acting like being skinny means I'm physically fit.
Yep! Fit as a fiddle.

#5. I'm going to prepare for college applications and the PSATs, and really apply myself too my work.
Hmmm.....somewhat. It's pretty hard preparing for these, what with work and the general lack of resources.

#6. I'm going to work on Zamorozok, including the actual finished pages.
YES. Obviously. The second page will be up by the end of the week.



NO SUBSCRIPTION, AND MY DOG. ALSO PAGEVIEWS! ......ALSO COMIC!

1. I have no subscription. I will get one.
2. My dog is sick. He just had surgery today, and he's fine, but they haven't run any tests yet. Either way, they removed some of his lower intestine, and he's in the animal ICU.
3. Nearing 15,000 pageviews.....we'll see what happens.
4. Zamorozok is under way. My big problem right now is the facial design for the General. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make a charismatic, brooding, manipulative guy in his late 20's, early 30's look the part, LET ME KNOW.

Oh, and I finished re-watching Fullmetal Alchemist today.....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. And I've had laryngitis for the past three days.

Children, Find the Whipping Boy

This nagging hunger,
worn out soles,
my children dead
from empty bowls.

A howling swells
in our cold minds,
we cry out 'devil!'
and mania blinds.

When trouble's brewing,
it's not God's plan,
the Devil's claws
must clutch at man.

Who dare oppose,
who takes our mirth?
They must have caused
this hell on earth.

Really? HA! I yelled at the dad and said "Don't use your child to fuel your own political agenda, asshole!"

And to a guy who had a sign that said "the Jews stole our land", I said "My deepest apologies, you bigot. We'll try to keep the land grabbing to a minimum while your kicking back with Hitler in Hell."

Are you Jewish?

Hi, I'm currently in 8th grade and applying to LaGuardia soon. I'm wondering if you might have any suggestions or recommendations on how I should build my portfolio, and prepare for the audition. I noticed that you are interested in Anime and Manga, as that is my specialty in drawing! Any advice would be very grateful.Thanks for reading, and I really like your work!
:iconbeta-joovey:
Hi! First of all, good luck in your high school applications. Second, I'd love to give you some advice. The key to a strong portfolio is variety: the absolute thing they adore is a wide range of different media and subjects. I'm not going to lie, as a guy, you have a MUCH better shot of getting in, which is always a plus. They appreciate a variety of styles, so some anime and manga is good, but make sure it doesn't make up the majority. And NO FANART. Fanart will not sit well with them. If you're going to do a portfolio with manga in it, they want to see original work. Anyway, try at least one landscape, some still life, and a mess of portraits. For the actual audition, practice your figure drawing and cray-pas. In the interview and similar things, be honest (as far as you need to be. Don't be afraid to fudge the truth a bit if they ask something like "Is this your top school", etc., and it isn't), and be sure to show enthusiasm and passion for the arts. But this is KEY! APPLY TO TECH AS WELL. Do not fail to apply to technical theatre as well. The chances of getting in are much higher, and it's a fantastic program, a good backup or even first choice. At least look into it. Alright, hope I was of some help in all my rambling....when you find out from the schools and after your audition, contact me!

Oh, don't be. They're really well done, particularly the way you paint with the computer programs. Very nice.
