Thank you for taking care of me when I needed it.

Thank you for being such a strong individual.

I'll miss the mischievous twinkle in your eye.

Good bye, Baachan.

Mary Okamura, 1919-2009.

Sorry if I'm being a downer, guys, but I loved my Baachan, and I'll miss her deeply.

Sorry, I usually don't make this many journals, but...

Today/Yesterday/December 2nd is/was my birthday, and I gotta say...it was full of lovin's. I mean, people that I don't even know that well were coming up and wishing me happy birthday! O_O Gee, if I was some kind of depressed person, then I'd be feeling whole loads better. C': But, since I'm already a happy camper, it makes me feel...euphoric... o3o

OH AND MY COUSIN AND AUNT AND BAACHAN GAVE ME AN UKELELE. HOLY SHAVING CREAM AN UKELELE GUYS.



NOVEMBER/DECEMBER FEATURES [FULL♥]
About being featured:
>You can't be featured two months in a row
>You must clearly comment that you wish to be featured
>You should type the password carton cartoons so that I know that you read this.
>If you ask me to advertise a personal site (like a webcomic) that will count for 1/3 of your feature
>I'll put up your icon, a small description of you art next to it, and then three of my favorite pieces of your work with comments (oldest to newest).
= visual art = animation = poetry/prose = photography = models/plushies = music
1. Is skilled with words
"Hand drawn animation test 1"-This is really nice! I've always loved the feel of f-b and hand-made animation. The animation is really smooth, and the feel of the pencil falling seems very natural (though kind of quick, so I had to rewatch it a few times xD ).
"House Speaks"-Gosh, I just love your word art. Not only did you put a lot of effort into the picture itself, I love your choice of words, especially the "Everybody Lies" on the lips. I'm glad you just texted in his shadow rather than his whole face, made it more powerful.
The Split Shadow Chapter 1-You always have such creative ways of thinking. I really dig your take on the good-guy vs. shadow, such an interesting read (the ending makes me want moar )!
2. Has stories about normal people!
"Captain 100percent Ch 1 P 2"-Ahhh, I really love this comic! Not only because you have nice lines and style, but I absolutely adore the fact that you put backgrounds in wherever you can!
"Our work and our pride"- I love this piece so much because you really created such different personalities for each character. I also love the style and the whole concept behind each person's personal comics. The fact that not all of the draw the same and have different levels of skills makes them all the more real~!
"Made in Canada"-Hahaha, another great display of your ability to portray personalities. C: The different body types, expressions, and body language really make this piece exciting! Things like that and their different styles (despite being in uniform) make me eager to read this comic (if you're still doing this of course). :V
3. Is more of a writer
"Spite Dark Ascension OCT Meme"-I really liked Spite. His character concept was always very intriguing to me, and I also enjoy his sarcasm.
"Hazeth Intro"-I like the shortness of this. It's very simple and straight-forward, but I feel that it's lacking in the thought process, since there is no real interaction or events happening. Anyway, it's a nice piece, and I still enjoy the simplicity. C:
"The Muffin Man"-i like your characters. Creative, this one.
4. FDUCK! Dope banners and photo manips.
"Random Junk"-This is great! You make real nice vexels and manips. Takes a good eye for space and color composition!
"Tagwall September"-You make really rad tags! I just love your useof different tones, blurs, and masks! xD
"Power"-Man...The detail in this is amazing! Your vexels are made of smooth and beautiful something-or-others. xD
5. Ilu Toaster ♥ I mean, awesomely sketchy/scratchy style! I love it! >w<~♥
"Not quite as cute"-You render blood all nice 'n' shtuff.
"Unnaturally Natural"-I love your style, especially the way you draw technology/robots/futuristic stuff. I really like the overall flow of this piece (and her hair is GORGEOUS).
"Burning Avalon...to the ground"-HE IS A GRUMPY FACE, but I like the diversity in body types and characters. ^ ^-

My mom just gave me an adorable tie-hanger. It's perfect, looks kinda like a 2-d ribcage, and holds up to 12 ties! I only have four ties right now, though, so I'll have to go and buy some more (and some collared shirts).

Actually, that was just an excuse to make a journal to showcase December's features! 8'D (Oh, and what did you guys fill the blank in the title with? I'm very curious now...)

Grab these features early on, gogogo~!

<div class="content">Wow, been a while, I suppose? xD;;; Well, first off, I just wanna say happy belated Thanksgiving~! I am thankful for every single one of my friends (in alphabetical):
/ / / / // / / / / (and many more whom I may have forgotten) I hope we all keep in touch and strengthen our friendships.

How did I spend my Turkey-day break? Well, my mom took me and my first wife to Arizona~! It was really nice...and really hot and dry. xD;;; basically, ever restaurant we ate at had all of the exact same dishes, and it got really boring (my friend was having some legit home-cooking withdrawls). So in that sense, it's nice to be home. My mom never goes on vacation, though, and you could tell since we never really had anything to do. Though, there were some real nice things, like visiting this really cool underground cavern, and going to Vegas (6-hour drive from pheonix). If you're really interested, I'll bore you with details, just ask.

Meme by ~SakkidattaHydra Original here
1. Copy and paste to your journal.
2. List 10 characters[Original Characters, Anime, Actors, doesn't matter] and assign them numbers.
3. Add the characters to the sentence by their assigned number. Answer.
4. Tag as many people you can[want]! (no one is tagged, this is optional)
+++
1]Bob
2]Toyoko
3]Elleane
4]Myrkyr
5]Swift (and Gagali)
6]Azuki
7]Muurrisch
8]Shane-us
9]Terri
10]Asterisk

1] What would 2 do if 8 asked him/her to dinner?
After he payed the dinner bill, she'd capture him and force him to show her to his pot of gold.

2] 1 is on an evil rampage! How will 10 stop him/her?!
Envelop him in sugary goodness!

3] 3 runs up to 4 and says, “OMG! LET ME HAVE YOUR BABIES!” What would 4 say/do?
First, Myrkyr would hold out his leg so that Elleane would run into it, then he'd say, "Even if I wanted to--which I can't imagine why I would--it is impossible for me to reproduce in my current state. Notice the lack of reproductive organs."

4] 9, 7, and 6 go on an amusement park ride when suddenly it stops working! How do they react? Do they ever get off!?
Terri would start to worry all over, Muurrisch would just grumble about how he didn't want to be on the ride in the first place, and Azuki would try to calm them down, ultimately failing, and then fall asleep. If the ride couldn't start up again, Muurrisch would find a way to get them all out.

5] 5 becomes a detective! How would he/she react to a horrible murder scene?
Swift would come very close to fainting. Then he'd quickly gain his composure and investigate.

6] 7 and 8 become salesmen! What happens when they knock on the door of 4?(wow, I'll have to draw this)
They will probably exchange awkward dialogue, either resulting in:
>Shane-us's luck pulls through and they make a completely successful sale
>Myrkyr is unimpressed by the large mouse and leprechaun, and gives then some tips for their next sale
>Muurrisch becomes physically persuasive, resulting in Myrkyr's house/neighborhood being destroyed

7] 9 throws a party and invites everyone EXCEPT 10. How does 10 get even?
Asterisk really couldn't care less, yet knowing Terri, he probably invited Asterisk, but Asterisk forgot anyway and just spent the night eating dirt.

8] 5 feels ignored. How do they get attention from the others?
He'd be too shy. Gagali would have to step in and stir up some wind or something.

9] 1 confesses their love to 2! How does 2 respond?
Toyoko would probably laugh, pat Bob on the back and think it was a joke or a dare

10] 3 challenges 6 to a battle! Their weapons, Potato sacks! Who wins the race? Do they even make it?!
>Elleane wins by stabbing Azuki to death and then eventually hopping over to the finish line
>Azuki wins because Elleane puts the sack over her head and runs in the wrong direction

11] 6, 4, 3 decide to make a justice organization! What do they call it? What happens when a kitten is stuck in a tree?! HOW WILL THEY SAVE IT?!
Something corny, like [link] (an acronym of their names). The kitten would probably jump down to Azuki, or Myrkyr would retreive it for fear of Elleane clawing it to death.

12] 5 discovers that it was 7 who did the horrible crime [as stated in question 5]! How does he/she confront 7? How does 7 react?
After following an elaborate trail of evidence and clues, Swift eventually find Muurrisch on the Core-of-War space station, whereas even if Swift could confront him, he could not apprehend him in any way. So, he instead goes home and is fired as a detective for claiming that the murderer was a 2 1/2 feet tall german rodent from space.

13] 8 is dying in 2’s arms! How does 2 react? What are 8’s final words?
Shane-us's final words are him willing all of his things to Toyoko, and even though she seems like an ass, she really does do all in her power to try and save him.

14] 9 decides to punch 1 in the face for no reason. What happens?
Bob takes it like a MAYUN, freaks the crap out of Terri (unintentionally), and then Bob treats him to frozen yogurt or something.

15] 10 finds him/her-self in “Legend of Zelda” as Link! What happens? Senario!
If it's a puzzle: Asterisk will get fustrated and then have a temper tantrum
If it's a dungeon with water: Asterisk will look for an easier way across, eventually failing, and then crying because he can't get across due to hyrophobia
If doing quests: Asterisk will continuously ask the villagers for the instructions, until he remembers them, and then gets the job done (kinda)

16] 9 finds out that 1 has 259 clones! How does he/she find out? What is their reaction?!
Terri accidentally stumbles upon a secret laboratory! Terri: ...this explains so much...somehow...actually, not really...

17] 2 and 3 decide to get married! How does 4 react[see Question 3]?! (hopefully when they're older!)
It'd be a beautiful, and very expensive wedding in Japan as payed for by Toyoko's parents (who are overjoyed that their tomboy daughter is marrying something), which Elleane dramatically crashes at the climax, killing everything in her path and making a bloody ugly mess. Very long and drawn-out filler battle ensues for higher ratings.

18] 5 and 1 get lost in the woods. How do they get out? Do they ever get out?
If Bob couldn't fly them out, they would be innovative enough to survive for a very long time (plus, Swift has a very good sense of direction).

19] If 7 and 10 were in a well and only one will survive, who would?
Muurrisch if it's filled with water, Asterisk if it's a test of time.

20] PARTY TIME! : Make a scene using 1-10 that includes a 3 pennies[coins], a rocket in a House of Mirrors. (Wow, why do I always read that as "penises"?! :/ )
Bob, Myrkr, and Swift exchange interesting conversation. Toyoko and Shane-us get Terri to play poker with them using the pennies. Elleane and Asterisk get sugar-high and then latch onto the rocket ship that Muurrisch uses to get back to the Core. After catering the party, Azuki walks into almost every mirror, gets tired and then falls asleep wherever.

21] BONUS QUESTION: What do 1-10 think of what happened in this quiz?
Bob: Sakki is very creative. ^ ^-
Toyoko: I made three pretty pennies and a pot of gold. Good for one meme's work, if I do say so myself.
Elleane: I got to spend time with Markey~! OUO~<3
Myrkyr: *sighs* Oh my...
Swift (and Gagali): Wha- I'm not crazy!
Azuki: I got to cook! <3
Muurrisch: Ja, vas interesding.
Shane-us: Oi, what's with all the pairing with the young lass? She doesn't even look like a girl!
Terri: I just...lemme sit down...
Asterisk: *alien cries of joy*

Sorry to the November features, I'll just feature you during December. Still two slots open! Check previous journal for details!</div>

Hello beautiful people! 8D I love you all so much. C: I hope you've been well off, and at least better than I've been. I've had a cold for the past few days (well, I've had some sort of perpetual sickness for the past month or so, and it made my immune system much more susceptible to disease).

Anyway, I was well enough to go Trick-or-treating with my friends today, which was kickass! >:3 I went as Carl Fredrickson from "UP", and constructed a Kevin back-pack on the side (I totally stole ~ebilartista's idea). No one figured out who I was, but that's okay. I wasn't wearing a wig, and I don't have an enormous chin, so that probably threw people off. We had lots of fun afterward, I was a little bit of a stick in the mud, because I had to quietly mope around since I thought I was going to throw-up. But it passed while we were watching the movie "17 again". I don't care if it has Zack Effron in it, it is still frikkin' hilarious (and the predictability is funny too ). Then we played lots of DDR...which--for some inexplicable reason--I play better when I'm sick. :I

Oh, alright, enough about me, you wanna know things that concern you, non? xD Well, here's what I've got for you silly, silly people that I love so much:

One random word from ten individuals, and please make it clear that you are giving me a random word (or name, I don't care). xD None of that stringing-words-together business, please.

How did your OC(s) spend his/her/their Halloween? I'll doodle up some of my favorite responses/OC(s). Only requirement is to say what costume they had on.
