Watching: Munto

_{...I like that word now. D: I blame ~Furau for it.

SPEAKING OF HER AND ~Reflectiion, LAST WEEKEND WAS AAAAAWESOME. 8D
It was so amazing to see them again ;o; (Along with their cool aunt and uncle, who's house we all slept over.)
I for one definitely had a lot of fun! :]
_{I kept staring at ~Furau's sketchbooks wishing I could draw like her~ TT-TT Especially since my hand hasn't been allowing myself to draw well lately.}

I was glad that they liked the dolls we gave them. C:
They were a lot of fun to make_{_{...and now I want to make one of Zee...but I'll wait a little longer before I do that because my sister is forced to do most of the sewing and I'll feel baaaaad...}}
Most of Saturday night was spent giggling and having Aiden stolen from me. There was even a time where ~Reflectiion said that Ahina (her character) was going to tell him a secret. A minute later the rest of us found them making out in a bedroom. o__o
And then when dolls weren't trying to make out with him, Angelina was picking on him.
My poor poor baby...getting harrassed by women.

SO OVERALL IT WAS OODLES AND OODLES OF FUN. But it felt like we barely had anytime with each other. D;
I WANNA SEE THEM AGAAAAAAIN.

And uhh, apparently ~Reflectiion and ~CocoaChocoPowder now have this weird inside joke thing where they laugh like, "OH HO HO HO".
...I think ice tea is like their form of crack, or something. D;

On another note, I think I've had a very successful week so far...even though it's only Tuesday. ._.
Yesterday I babysat for three hours and got $40~ ...which I then wasted today on FMA volumes and a book called Top 8. OTL (P.S. I don't know why but I simply love Selim Bradley~ OMG PLOT TWIST)
Basically all I do with the kids I babysit now is play Super Smash Bros Brawl. They are addicted to it. SO I GET TO PLAY IT WITH THEM AGAIN ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. YEAAAAHH.
Tomorrow I finally have guitar lessons again.
...I think I lost all musical talent in my fingers. TIME TO RELEARN EVERYTHING. WOOHOOO.

Man, I can't believe it's August already. I have so much I need to do -
HOLY CRAP I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED THE SUMMER READING BOOK YET. D8
NOT FAIR.
Oi. @___@

Well, I'm gonna go back to reading FMA/watching Munto now. ( is forcing me to watch it...AND SHE'S EVEN GONNA QUIZ ME ON IT. D8 ...but it is a good anime, I must admit.)
Please expect more pictures from me in the future. Along with that I'm still hoping to write a prologue to Crossing Paths and develop a topic for my upcoming contest. (Right now I'm thinking it's going to involve Aiden, Zee, Aiden and/or Zee - since they're both special to me since I treat them like the two sides of my conscience, or have you write a script...for a video I'll want to draw out and put my crazy voices to on YouTube (but it won't be animated, just still pictures).
_{Feel free to tell me your thoughts~}

OKAY! Well, that's my little update. Hopefully I'll have the doll pictures up soon - I'd have them up now but I'm waiting on my dad to e-mail me the pictures that are on his camera.
AND PLEASE PLEASE NAG ME IF YOU DON'T SEE ME SUBMIT A DRAWN PICTURE FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK. D8

Have a wonderful week, everyone~ ^-^

Your Pal,
Toony

SEW LIKE THE WIND

Thu Jul 30, 2009, 7:49 AM

Mood: Eye Candy
Listening to: Never Say Never - The Fray
Watching: Spongebob Squarepants
Playing: Professor Layton

_{So remember how I said I might start making Angelina and Aiden plushies? WELL THEY'VE BEEN STARTED.
Making plushies is hard worrrrrk. ;__; Well, I shouldn't be talking, since my sister's doing all the sewing and everything. (I love her for that~) But I'm doing all the designing and researching...but I'm so indecisive. D;
My real problems are how to make their hair and faces. For the hair, I've found many good tutorials, but I'm afraid I'm going to screw up on something. For the face...I just don't know what to do. D8 I'm thinking of having us make expressions out of velcro, but we used a thin material for the skin and the velcro probably won't stick. And if we don't use velcro, I'm debating which expression to use for each person - and by that I mean I'm not sure if we should use tranfer-paper eyes or emoticon ones (ex: for Aiden we could do something like this: -__- ).
I haven't made plushies since last year (as you all probably recall my Jo Bros dolls) and now that we're experimenting with new methods it's confusing!

We're also planning on making a doll-version of my sister and ~Reflectiion's character Ahina. And along with that, this all needs to be done by Saturday! Why, you may ask? Well, after months of begging and nagging our parents, WE'RE FINALLY SEEING and !!!! 8D IT'S SO EXCITINGGGG! I've been waiting all summer for this! > W <

Ugh. I can't believe that Saturday is the first day of August. D; June and July went by too quickly. I still have a TON of things I want to do before summer ends! Like begin that contest and color more pictures and finish the iChallenge pictures...and read Three Cups of Tea for my summer reading. -_-''

and...crap. I can't think of what else I wanted to say. ._. This is awkward.

SO UM HAVE A SUPER AWESOME SUMMER EVERYONE!

Your Pal,
Toony

P.S. Sleeping over 's house was fuuuuun. =w=
_{I feel bad that I borrowed a ton of manga books and three DVDs from her though.}

Idiot.

Listening to: Remember December - Demi Lovato
Reading: Dream Saga vol. 3

Journals are records to help reflect on past events.
Apparently I used to be a real angsty, naiive, stupid, oblivious, whiny idiot. At least, that's what I discovered after cleaning out my Gaia journal _{_{- which I started in 2004, so I still have two years worth of journals to clean out.}} I found I've written similar things here...but they're not as bad as they used to be, thank God.

I apologize for my stupidity. Thanks to everyone who put up with me for so long. Give yourself a round of applause, and have a great day.

Sincerely,

Toony

FINALLY 8D

Wed Jul 22, 2009, 2:20 PM

Mood: Triumph
Listening to: Remember December - Demi Lovato
Playing: Elite Beat Agents

After about two years, I finally beat Elite Beat Agents on my Nintendo DS!

The last stage took me forever!
...but I only beat it on Cruisin' mode. ...now I have to beat Sweatin' mode so I can get the version with the Elite Beat Divas so I can finally beat the ENTIRE game...WELL NOW I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING FOR FOUR MORE YEARS. OTL

So...my week so far has been kinda suckish.

I drew some okay stuff in portfolio class, I suppose, but my I mainly base my week around what happens AFTER.

On Monday I went to SixFlags for the first time in my life with my sister, my mom, and my friend's family - well, excluding her dad and brother. To be honest, I don't really like it. It's pretty and exciting and all...but there's only three rides I really like. Everything else is either too small or too extreme. Plus, along with that, my sister and my friend kept excluding me, even if they didn't mean to, and my sister kept saying mean stuff about me. I was on edge enough that day, so I made a fool of myself by yelling and crying. I have no idea why I've been so irritable lately. The only good thing about my day at SixFlags was probably texting

and doing the YMCA with my friend, Granny, and the SixFlags guy.

I didn't have guitar lessons today because my teacher's on vacation this week and next. ...so I won't see him again until August. o__o Oh my.

I CANNOT wait for Friday! Not only is it the last day of Portfolio Prep class - but I'm having a sleepover with

! YAYYY! I seriously haven't seen her in weeks. That's not good for my health. D: (The same thing goes for seeing

and

...but they're in a whole different state so it's kinda different.)
But even when I see my own friend I STILL feel left out by my sister and our friend because they're going out to dinner since it's our friend's last day here in our town for the summer. THEY JUST LOOOOOVE LEAVING ME OUT, DON'T THEY?

So...angst. Crying. Yelling. Confusion. Who knows why I'm acting like this? Hopefully it resolves itself soon.

In the way of art, I still have a lot to do! D8 AHHH. I have tons of things I want to draw and color, and along with that I'm still pondering over a topic for a future contest and the thought of making Aiden and Angelina plushies!
THIS SUMMER ISN'T LONG ENOUGH. TT^TT

So, er, wish me luck finishing everything! I hope you're all having a wonderful summer!

Your Pal,
Toony

Drinking: Burger King fountain Coke

_{...because I'm actually crazy.

I don't know why...but I've been feeling really down lately.
I have been going to be at around 10:30 PM, but it takes me about an hour or two to fall asleep and I have no idea why, and it leaves me really tired. _{(Warning, girl talk ahead: along with that I've been having really annoying cramps that shouldn't be there since my period shouldn't be here for another week or so! end girl talk)}
My mom keeps asking if I'm okay, but I have no idea how to answer since even I don't know what's wrong. I wish I knew...

On another note, I started art camp yesterday. (My mom forcefully signed me up for a two-week long portfolio prep class at my school so I wouldn't be on the computer all day. D; ) Thankfully I know people who are also there, like and as well as the boy who was in both my Drawing class and Biology class (but it's a bit awkward because I never talked to him...and his mom's the teacher). Basically she teaches us ways to draw/color/how to use materials and then the last forty-five minutes we can do whatever we want.
I can tell you one thing - my portfolio sucks so far. D;
To be honest, I don't like it all that much. I don't know why...I just get a strange vibe whenever I'm there. Maybe it's because I'm in a school building in the middle of the summer?

Along with that, it seems I'm pretty busy this week. Guitar lessons, bonfires, sleepovers - you name it. Currently we have our Floridian friend (who's moving back up sometime before school!) sleeping over tonight. She and my sister are doing a Graphic Design class at the school - taught by my first semester art teacher! : D Yayy~ They'll definitely have fun.

I keep telling myself to practice the guitar - but I keep forgetting/I'm lazy! D8 THAT'S NOT COOL. I really want to keep practicing now after watching K-On! (Sure it's a fictional anime, but if it motivates me then it's good!)

My teacher's gonna kill me tomorrow at lessons. ;o; I haven't practiced in two weeks!
edit - July 15th: Uh, apparently he won't have to kill me until next week because he has jury duty! 8D I mean, oh noooo, jury dutyyy. O:

I'm working on the iChallenge pictures again...but since the art class has started, I dropped it a while again. (DANGIT! D< ) I'm almost half-way done with the list! O: I haven't drawn the picture for I'm Not That Girl (Reprise), but I've been planning how to draw each picture - so I guess that's a start.

On another note, I keep nagging my dad to call and 's dad so we can see each other this summer - but I haven't seen him do it yet. He doesn't understand HOW BADLY WE NEED TO SEE EACH OTHERRRRR! DX

I hope you all are having a wonderful vacation~ ^o^

Your Pal,
Toony

EDIT -- July 15th, 2009

HEY! Want to help dear ol' Toony? :3 It's real simple. Y'see, she wants to buy a Len Kagamine figurine with her birthday money. But alas, she only wants one, meaning she must decide between two options! And it's just so difficult! O:

It would be wonderful if you could post your opinion about which one she should get!

Count so far:

Figma ([link])= 1
Nendoroid ([link] , [link]): 3
