Two, and three.

Ninjas.

This is my chinese dragon with wolf paw prints. If I do it again I will do the same basic idea but without the outlines for the dragon... it will simply be the pattern in the shape. I fixed the bird from a while back. This one looks okay I think. I tried to draw a dragons' head profiled from the side and only outlining... kinda like the deer. Some aspects of it turned out better than others. This is me with a horrible look on my face. I would take a better one but it is kinda wierd taking picture after picture of yourself while sitting in a library with people walking behind you. I feel self concious . So I now have a very verah nicely warm underarmor hoodie . Plain black with the UA logo. The picture is taken by my very sad little old phone that I'm borrowing from that brother over there. I needed the hoodie because it is like 52 degrees here and THAT IS FREEZING. I was cold dang it. ============================================== Story idea below ===============...

We are going to Santa Fe this weekend. Mother-in-law, Orclette, Miniorc, and meself. Packing for two little ones and myself by myself is so not fun. It did, however, prompt me to clean my house because I HATE coming back to a dirty house. And it's two whole days of someone else helping to corral the Orclette, which is always a yay. Maybe I'll get to take a shower by myself. Oh the thought ...

This technology has been around for a long time. I've never owned a coffeemaker cool enough to make me want to use it. I have a new coffeemaker. The people at Gevalia tell me it's a $100 model that I got for free because I wanted the Pumpkin Spice coffee they make once a year. I love coffee. And all things associated with it. And this new model has a pre-programmed setting. Which means I can assemble my coffee the night before and wake up to it brewing. Yes, this is not a novel thing. Yes, I am WAY behind the times. It's like the first time us earth-peoples saw pictures of the earth from outer space. IT WAS AWESOME AND EVERYTHING STOPPED AND THAT'S ALL PEOPLE COULD TALK ABOUT. That's me. You are the kids who grew up with pictures of earth and therefore are not as impressed. I love technology.

I'm not that old. But already I have a Golden Age. An age where I was young (hehe), in the best shape of my (still hasn't spanned that many years) life, and had all options available to me. I was 16. I had just won a half-marathon for my age group (I hate admitting that there were only 3 in my age category-but I came in almost an hour ahead of them). I was on a pretty good soccer team. I lived in one of the greatest states of the Union (Virginia! Old Dominion! and I'm out of nicknames). Etc. You know, I started writing because yesterday was Columbus Day and in that glorious past Golden Age I would've been in a soccer tournament. Same for Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day. Occasionally Thanksgiving though usually the parent's didn't want to do one then. And it was wonderful. The soccer, I mean. My whole family was involved in it, my brothers played different positions so I had no problems admitting that they were better in their respective positions. I knew when...

Ft. Gordon GA is currently experiencing rain of mythical proportions. I swear.... its true.... I'm not just saying this because I hate water and got wet. I tried to fix the bird from yesterday's post. You'll probably not see it until next weekend. I also drew a dragon. Am I bored? I don't know... I'm reading Fred Saberhagen Vampire fiction(which I despise) and R.A. Salvatore(sorry all his fans but this is kinda like the cigarette addicts who pick up a mud covered butt off the ground and try to suck the insides out). So yeah I'm bored. Talked with my Dad for an hour yesterday which was fun as I almost never talk to my parents on the phone due to only ever calling Wulfa. And....now my friend whose laptop I am borrowing needs it back. Later interwebs. Dammerung.

I tried to think of a post but I couldn't. So I decided to post two of my latest drawings up: The turtle... he fails at life. Everything else is me expressing frustration at my turtle for failing at life. The deer turned out amazingly better than I thought it would when I started. The bird... ugh. I can't get the tails to do what I wanted. I liked how the flowers went though. I did the deer all in one go with an ink pen... it went really quickly and I thought I'd be all super awesome and do the bird and flowers in pencil first so I could change things as I went. The pencil went great but it turns out I hate going back over things in ink. So very boring that is. I went to B&N to look up books that could teach me more about drawing because this is becoming very fun. But all I found were books that tought you how to draw realisticly. I want books that show me more things like what I am already doing and give me suggestions on ways to improve on my current gig. I d...
