Description I broke my protest by uploading something ;____; ah well

Entire ballpoint pen Kip. Almost. Her inside ears = highlighter.

Tail = Black ballpoint pen
Kip = Blue and purple ballpoint pen

No previous sketching ^_^

And the quote is "Why do we all end up alone?" One thing I can't do is write without any previous sketching. ._. It's NOT STRAIGHT and it pisses me off.

Anyways the quote is definitely one of my all-time favourites, from "End Up Alone" by Nine Days. I've been whoring that quote around since I was 10/11. ^_^ I <3 that CD too. What's kinna amusing though is everytime I quote it somewhere in a usertitle/sig/etc. everyone starts answering the question XDD I also suggest "Story of a Girl", "Bitter", "Revolve", and "257 Weeks" by them.

Especially "Revolve". That shuffles into the "how I love" songs. XDDD

Revolve is <3

Lyrics:

"What I see is what’s to be,
Cartwheels to eternity.
’round and ’round my head she goes,
In the good dreams though she wears no clothes...
Took our picture by the sea,
The ocean waits to carry me.
Carry me back home again,
To where she sleeps I lay my head...
Saw her running barefoot but the ground there never touched her feet.
Watched her in the shadows while the tide came in and claimed our beach.
We could’ve made it in the dunes we had it all within our reach,
But I’ve got a lot of life to learn and you’ve got a lot of life to teach.
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we always have to find our way back home?
Why do we all end up alone?
We gather no moss just like a rolling...
What I say is what I mean,
No definition in between.
Couldn’t make it in the movie scene,
You couldn’t stay on on you couldn’t stay clean...
What you wear is who you are,
The odds are in and you’ll go far.
A penny for your thoughts you’ll see,
A nickel buys you what you need...
Saw you on the big show saw you swinging from the big trapeze!
Standing on my tip toes while you brushed the dirt from off your knees,
Should have come as no surprise no one else here did have your drive.
You’ve got a big white stretch parked right outside but nobody there to share your ride.
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we always have to find our way back home?
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we all end up dead drunk or stoned? ...
What I know is what I hear,
The ringing in my ears is clear.
A monkey’s got it made you see,
Swinging from the vine of a coconut tree...
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we always have to find our way back home?
Why do we all end up alone?
We gather no moss just like a rolling stone.
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we always have to find our way back home?
Why do we all end up alone?
Why do we all wake up dead drunk or stoned?...
Dead drunk or stoned...
Just like a rolling stone."

Oooh, so pretty. *adds to faves* My favourite part is the neck fluff, it looks neat.

You know, I love sketching in ballpoint pens so much, I don't even use pencils anymore. XD It's so smooth and it doesn't smudge, pens are awesome.

It's almost baffling how you can draw like that without previous sketching. But it's cool nonetheless. I also love the way that purple looks.

;_; Your art makes me realize how pitiful my own skills are. Gorgeous. How do you get such rich colors to be so graceful?


P.S. 'Story of a Girl'--that wouldn't happen to be the one that goes 'this is the story of a girl who cried a river and drowned the whole world'? Because I've been searching for those lyrics for almost three years, and yet Google likes to attribute them to at least nine different bands on the first search page alone.

kippixin In reply to AvistheCrow [2005-08-17 04:33:55 +0000 UTC]

Yes. That is the song! actually it's full title is "Absolutely [Story of a Girl]". it was their one-hit-wonder, which is such a shame, they have a lot of really awesome other songs. ^_^

and thanks. I don't like people to feel pitiful though wtf ;_;

"The color of infinity
Inside an empty glass
I'm squinting my eye
And turning off and on and on
and off the light

It's for this experimental film
Which nobody knows about and which
I'm still figuring out what's going to go
In my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's

I already know the ending
It's the part that makes your face implode
I don't know what makes your face implode
But that's the way the movie ends

And in my experimental film
Which nobody knows about but which
I'm still figuring out your face implodes
At my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it--
Even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's

The color of infinity
Inside an empty glass
It's for this experimental film
Which nobody knows about and which
I'm still figuring out what's going to go
In my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's gonna--
Yeah, you're gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it--
Even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's"

"It's the part that makes your face implode
I don't know what makes your face implode"

Whoah, that's what they were saying? o_O; That's been my favorite song for at least a year now, and I had no idea that they said implode.

Thank-you for posting that.
