Lol! Yeah I was worried I would like trip, or go the wrong way back to my seat. Luckily I was in the front row so it wasn't TOO bad but still. It will probably go pretty smoothly. Yeah we had a video playing I GUESS? while the parents where waiting to get in. I never saw it playing but it had baby pictures and newer pictures.
Last semester I took Eng101, Pilates, Mat121 and Mythology. Pilates was hard to stay in because I started having back issues and acid reflux problems which kind of made exercising difficult. My math teacher was this really old guy who was dyslexic with numbers and had really bad handwriting and told stories about forever ago and how gas used to be 25cents and stuff... Pretty crazy stuff. This semester I'm taking eng102, Mat 150, Womens studies class and Critical Reading. Womens studies and critical reading are both online classes and they are relatively easy, and math is going well now because I have this cute asian lady.
Lol! What mangas have you been reading? I am super nerdy and I read mostly Shoujo manga. CLAMPs work is my favorite (and has been for like 9 years). Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa and xxxHolic are my favorites. I just try to draw them occasionally, I'm sure you can tell from my gallery. I haven't drawn realistic things in a while.. not since being in life drawing class and whatnot. I did get Copic markers recently though I have been experimenting with them, I have never been very good with colouring so its kinda difficult..
Well anyway, thanks for the happy almost birthday and it works since I read this message today ( on my birthday)!

Yeah! Those are the two things I'm afraid of the most! xD I'll probably be in the first row, so I guess that'll help me too. Haha At least, I hope so. I went to your graduation. I guess I got there too late to see that video. D:
Whoa! Those sound really fun. Well, pilates doesn't sound as fun since I've heard it's really hard. I'm sorry about the back problems and acid reflux. That really sucks.
xDDD That math teacher sounds funny, but... it doesn't seem like he should really teach anymore haha The cute asian lady for your new class seems like a nice improvement, though.
Are the online classes harder? It seems like it might be more difficult to learn.
xDDD! Super nerdy time! Ah... to tell the truth, I've read a lot of Shoujo manga too. xD I like CLAMP tooooo!!! I think Chobits is my favorite series of theirs, but I haven't read the ones you've mentioned (except I used to watch Cardcaptor Sakura when I was little haha). I guess my favorites are Fruits Basket (I've always really identified with Tohru haha), Yu-Gi-Oh (lamest of the lame, right?), and Yu Yu Hakusho (but I started it not so long ago and I'm not done yet). Oh man, I'm such a nerd. Looking back on it, I've watched a ton of anime ahaha but I can't remember all of it (but I remember liking Steel Angel Kurumi since they're androids and feeling like a perv since there's so much nudity). Sorry I just typed a ton on that. xD
I like what I can see of the drawings in your gallery haha Did you use the Copic markers on those? Can you blend with them? And were they super expensive?
Oh! Oh! And does it show where your marks overlap? I hate that in markers.
You're welcome! How convenient!

Online classes aren't too bad, you just have to be self motivating. And I love Chobits *_*. I read all the manga and I randomly own the last dvd of the anime. Cardcaptor Sakura is my absolute favourite... the dub Cardcaptors is really a total insult to it ( as are most dubs). Tsubasa and xxxHolic are my current favourites though, they intertwine a lot so you have to read both to fully understand everything. Tsubasa starts off Kurumi always like squeezes the main boy into her chest...LOL.
And yes they are copic markers! I have never coloured much but I decided I wanted to try. I'm not very good with them, but hopefully I can improve. I am not super good with blending, I need to find a tutorial or something. So far I have spent about 180 or so on Copics/etc. I got a set of 36 markers for like 115 and then I bought a set of different point inking pens, and four individual markers ( cause I needed some purples..) and so yeah... a bit expensive. And Yes, It does show where the markers overlap. I hear that different types of paper can make this more or less visible, and I want to find some paper that works well with the markers!

Ah, that makes sense. I took an online language class, and I ended up always doing the assignments last minute. It wasn't too good haha
Haha I want to see the Chobits anime, but I don't want my mom to think I'm a perv or something xD;; I have bad luck with that stuff in the anime I choose to like. There's a Cardcaptors manga, right? Is it good? I've heard of Tsubsa and xxxHolic. I wanted to check them out, but wasn't sure if I'd like them. If you like them, though, I probably will haha
Oooh! Wow, they're as expensive as I feared they would be. That sounds really cool. Have you found a better paper yet since your last message?

RaveVampyre In reply to pinkcandybou [2009-03-15 03:24:48 +0000 UTC]
Lol! Yes there is a Cardcaptor Sakura manga out..
If you aren't one of those people who is 100% against scanlations.. you should check out onemanga.com
They have scans of hundreds of manga including Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa and xxxHolic. It is hard to choose a favourite between the three. I love the CCS manga... its so adorable. Tsubasa is really REALLY good. It starts off a bit slow, but man.... where its at right now (currently chapter 215) it is so amazingly twisted and intense...
and xxxHolic has a lot of deep meanings, and it's also extremely hilarious. They're all wonderful *-*.
I haven't found any other paper yet, I am just working with what I have which isnt BAD but its not great either. I put up a couple of new drawings that I used copics with.. I think that I have improved slightly.
Let me know what you think

Ooh! Okay! Haha No, I'm not against it >_>;; Maybe I should be? I can't afford to be against it Lol! They sound really cool, is there one I should read first? I should I start them all at once? xD
Oh yeah! I was looking at them and I thought they looked really nice!
I'm going to go comment haha

RaveVampyre In reply to pinkcandybou [2009-03-15 03:56:54 +0000 UTC]
Aww thank you! To be honest, I read CCS, then Tsubasa and then xxxHolic. Tsubasa and xxxHolic are still coming out, but they mostly start connecting towards the end. I would say CCS then Tsubasa and then xxxHolic. Having a good background in CCS helps because stuff involving ccs comes up in both manga.
I know, I feel like I should be against scanlations... but I'm too poor to follow through.
Plus there are so many manga to choose from on onemanga.com that I am never bored lol!

You're welcome :]
Okay, sounds good.
Haha Yeah, same here.
It's not going to give me any viruses, right? I mean, I'm sure you wouldn't recommend it if it did, but my computer seems to be susceptible(sp) to viruses haha poor thing.

RaveVampyre In reply to pinkcandybou [2009-03-15 04:03:41 +0000 UTC]
LOL! I doubt it does, I have been reading manga off of onemanga.com for like 6 months now and I have never gotten a virus. Do you happen to do colouring of any kind? I am trying to find someone who is good with computer coloring, but I haven't really met anyone, and everyone I find on here who is good are all super busy and have like a million comments and stuff and probably wouldn't waste their time colouring anything of mine.

Oh good : D Then I'll head over there soon. Haha I'm sick (which sucks since it's spring break!) so I've got plenty of time to read manga. Haha
Ah! I wish I did. D: I'm sorry. I don't have any programs for anything like that (I really wish I did, though).
Aww, don't say they wouldn't color your stuff! It's very nice, so I'm sure they'd want to. : D But if I find anyone who's good with it but not busy, I will tell you.
