The scanner's fixed! YAY! o.O!: Actually, there's a very stupid story behind that... Shut up, you! Ok, so the scanner wasn't actually broken in the first place. I just didn't plut it in-- o.O!: See! How pathetic can you get? --at the right time. o.O!: *R~i~i~i~ight* I'm serious. For some weird reason, if I have the scanner on before Windows is operational (you know, when you start up your compy and there's that Windows logo thingie) it doesn't work. No idea why. Anyway...so I now have two new pics up on my web page. One I did today, mostly before school ('cause I get there early), at lunch, and during Math class. (I'm depressed, by the way, I got lower than I expected on the Math exam. It's a good mark, sure, a good-ish mark for me, in fact, it would have been a really good mark if I hadn't gotten more than that last report card by about 0.4%, but depressing all the same. Did anyone actually manage to follow all that?) I've found that my visual arts muse runs on negative feelings. Seriously. I can't draw when I'm happy; I'm more inspired when I'm depressed--like I was today with that Math thingie. And like I was a while ago with that rejection thingie. And it's kind of weird, 'cause my lit. arts muse runs on positive feelings...Ok, well maybe not. I'm more inclined to write when I feel that people like my writing and want more of it. But I don't get inspired by that. *sigh* I think my lit. arts muse is activated by actually writing; like, the more I write, the more inspired I get. Or something... One of my friends asked me why I was in music instead of art, and I said that I would feel presured to create (exceptional) stuff if I were in art. Actually, two people have asked me why I'm not in art. Now, when someone else asks me, I know what to tell them! I'd have to be too depressed all the time. I worry for me when I'm depressed, considering how much I know about the practical side of suicide. o.O!: You're gonna scare people off that way. Yep! And the people I don't scare off are worth keeping as friends! I'm probably going to get my English exam back tomorro, but I'm not getting the Science one back for a while. The teacher hasn't started marking them yet. Speaking of English--I spent over four hours on a poster for English on Monday. It's due tommorro. I left it to almost the last minute 'cause I thought it would only take one hour; that's why I was using watercolours (and large brushes). Cause I thought it would save time, but I still spend the while friggin' afternoon on ONE FRIGGIN' POSTER! But it turned out pretty good, and I like it. It's a pretty big poster; bristle board sized. The (black) ink kinda smells, but there's really nothing I can do about that. Oh right, I'm supposed to talk about the other pic; the one I didn't
do during school today. Ok, in that pic I was trying to do a profile. You
know, of a face?--'cause I couldnt' do them (but now I can!) I was going
to draw this sad, innocent-type girl. A prostitute, actually, and I can't
remember why. But she turned out looking too...sophisticated, too ...what's
the word?--distant. Like, not human, but removed from that all. It wasn't
the look I wanted, so I just went with it and drew. Her posture's kinda
weird; I tried it and you'd have to be walking to get that posture. But
I like the pic. Even though it was supposed to be an electronic-girl-type
look, but looks more like some franken-women monster, that's OK. GO. LOOK.
!!!
I have a feeling no one likes my Animorphs/Gundam Wing fusion fic. No
one review it. Which is kinda depressing, 'cause I'm thinking of extending
the series. Like, I was only going to do one story--the story that is told
from first person POV, narrated by Duo. I'm now thinking of doing a story
from each of the people's POVs. I even have a really good plan for it too;
the end of Dorothy's story leads into the beginning of Trowa's story, and
the resulting events act as a catalyst for Trowa's story, which will be
half emotional drama and half action. Then those events (heavily) prelude
the events in Heero's story, which would be *very* emotional-drama-type
stuff. I have a great thing for Heero's too; but I can't get to it until
I get though all those people's stories! And that's going to be like, one
year or writing for me! (Assuming I continue at one 5 page chapter per
week...doubtful, at best.) The problem is I don't have a good plot thing
for Hilde's story, and I have a weak one for Relena's story. Plus, I'm
currenly writing Duo's story, and I have very little idea of where I'm
going to take that one. *sigh* Aw well...I'll think of something.
Ok, that pretty much concludes this newsletter. Bye for now! ~Ying
