Simple as that.

My laptop got fried two weeks ago. Sadly, it was something out of my hands since it was the charger cable's fault. But since then I've drawn a new comic page and posted it. Where? Well, you can find it either on DA under the username, AkaiNanashi, or you can go here, [faicon]AkaiNanashi[/faicon]. Yeah I know AkaiNanashi, ha ha. Honestly, I've just grown apart from this username. It more reminds me of my high school years since that's when I came up with it. I'll still come here to check on watches and what not, but I will most likely not post anything new.

I don't want to close my account since there's still people I watch on FA and a group I try to interact with. But lately I've just been on DA. And I've been planning on starting up a new comic. Hopefully one that would last longer. I can't help to wonder if I do make it and post on here if I should under a new name. I've grown apart from KuraKumo. It's something from my highschool days and now I'm leaving fucking college. @_@

Just can't help it doesn't fit me anymore. So I guess in a way you can say this is a warning/notice/thingy. I might end up closing this account, I don't know. I might leave it just because I've had it since forever.

If you're wondering what username I would have, it would be AkaiNanashi. Actually I made it a little while ago. Because I'm crazy like that.

I got tired of all of the porn on the site, so I turned the mature content off on my settings. I wonder if that means I can't post any now. Lols?

It's been a while I suppose. School has been killing me with it's workload this quarter, but it's going to end next week! <3 Luckily I made arrangements for Friday's class so it's okay to miss it while I run off to PAXEast. I know not many of you probably read this, but who else is going? I can't be the only furry going to a big effin' video game con. If I am then I will be sad. There's a few things that irk me going into this, but this isn't really the place to whine.

In other news I'll have the week off from school after that, so maybe I'll be able to get a drawing or two done. I've been slowly writing a comic script, but no clue if it's any good really. I haven't drawn anything for it because I don't really want to spend time drawing it only to find out the writing blows. Plus with the next and my last quarter going to be insane (from what I heard) it might be hard getting pages out at a decent rate.

For now I have a English paper I need to write before Thursday and a couple of drawings to send to my art teacher before Friday. Kinda just screwing around. There's so much crap I need to do. Pack, do taxes, call people for information, do HW.... @_@; .... Urgh.. I feel like I need a stress releaf now.. Where's my goddamn DS?

Oh yeah! I restarted my SoulSilver game. I'm only lvl 25 with my pokemon atm, but I'm always up for some trading or battling. Just leave a comment or note. <3

I keep wondering if I should give up on posting on DA or FA or just both all together. The first two days at MAGFest were a bit depressing as no one wanted to buy the prints I took with me. It wasn't until a day or so before that after I printed them out did I get overly excited, something I always try not to do before cons, and ended up a bit depressed at the table. Also I wasn't very hungry though ate with John ate. Turns out later last week it was me catching the dreaded flu! I don't blame the con since I don't usually get sick from cons and the week prior my father had the flu. So yeah.. First two days were sad and overwhelmed.

Saturday we took a much needed day off from the table business and it was so wonderful.. <3 One bonus I get for dating a guy who needs to interview people for a show is to follow him around and meet the people he meets. After watching the last few minutes of a pannel, we headed to the first floor and there was this punk/emo looking guy standing at the end of the hall looking this way and that way asking, "female..? We need another female..? Really no females?" Considering we're in a hotel in a con that's pretty much 95% a dick fest, there weren't many girls. So I glanced at John, shrugged, and raised my hand. "Uh, female here?" I honestly didn't know what I was getting myself into. The guy looked eh, to my offer. (I think he was hoping for someone skinnier, but fuck 'em.) He said they needed two girls for this skit that's only a few minutes long with the Jon st. John. (Squee!)

For those of you who aren't old, or not heavy/hardcore gamers, Jon St. John is the man who does the voice for Duke Nukem. I think he has been the voice since the third game or something.. But he has THE voice most guys would fawn over because of his BALLS OF STEEL!!!!111one

So much to my shock I was going to be next to this famous guy. I quickly gave John my bottle of Bawls to hold as I went to do this skit. Basically it was Jon with his arms around me and the other girl (who was surprisingly small and short. o.O; ) walking around the corner and run into the punk/emo guy as Jon and the guy say some funny things like, "Oh man I missed you're pannel! I thought you were having one! D: " And Jon would say something back like, "I did but I was a bit busy, right ladies?" He grin at us, the girl looked lost, I'd pretend to giggle and make smirks at the guy like, "oh yeah~<3" It was all for a good laugh though. I love a good joke. But like I said, it was short.

Afterward my boyfriend nearly pounced on me because of how epic he thought everything was. If you don't believe me go to WNESONANR.com find MAGFest Saturday's show and the very first thing you hear is him squee'ing with joy that I was in the clip. And then you can hear me squee.. But after that I watched John interview Wes Johnson. He's a pretty nice guy really. Then a few minutes later we caught up with Jon St. John and John got another interview with him. (To much typing John... @_x; ) It was really fun. The guy is a really nice guy. If anything go to the WNES site just to listen to the interviews. Also if you love game music or chiptunes you'll love it as well.

MAGFest here I come! My Owlie, a friend, and I are driving down to VA. veeeery early Thursday morning so we can get our little butts down there in spite of the snow. I'm hoping the drive won't end up like last time we drove down there for the last event we went to. But, BUT, BUT, BUT! I did manage to get to OfficeMax and got prints on glossy paper.

Yeah, we're not going with the easily ripped paper here people.

I also heard that MAGFest is sold out. I hope some of you are also going to MAGFest. I would love to see some of my fellow furries there! I know I'm going there with my ears and tail! Don't know where our table will be in the Dealer's area, but if you see a sign with a giant gameboy on it and it read WNES at all Noise Radio--you found our table. At the moment we're looking at sitting there from about noon to 8PM. It might change depending on who preforming at the time.

In any case I'll also be there selling commissions. So come on down and say hi! Even if you wanna just come and chit chat. I'll be more than happy to see another happy face.

I am SO alive! It was very strange.. After having a craptasic morning due to a lack of sleep and a nightmare and then going through a rocky afternoon I told from 2AM-4AM just cranking out a comic page. And oddly enough I didn't really plan it. I was going to start it with Quinn and Seth or Akai, but ended up with Seth and Tsuy. @_@; It all started with me goggling for pictures up people walking up stairs. I wanting one so I could draw Tsuy. Instead I ended up with... well, a comic page! =_=;

Oddly the text that I forgot I wrote in fuck ink at the top. I was going to put Seth's dumb face there, but it's fine. I'll either take it out and shove in a waterfall or change it to better suit the two.. But yeah, I'm a bit more happy now. I've been so overly worried for a good start off point to start telling a story that I think this is good.

Also, still planning on going to MAGFest. At this point there's no way I cannot not go. Sadly our friends in VA couldn't get us all a room we could share and chip in on, but that just means we're going to end up staying at their place which I'm told isn't to far away from the hotel. Though this does make me worry a bit for how we'll do a few things.. I'm going to be there selling commissions and maybe some badges, if I can find the damn things you put them in.. x_x The only issue that I have with that idea is the lack of wide spread marks in lots of colors. Then again I do have colored pencils. But I digress. I might bring one or two pictures to sell for a few bucks. I can only think of maybe three or four drawings off the top of my head. Don't mind drawing furry or non-furry art there. My lovely boyfriend suggested to try and appeal to the cosplayers in saying to draw them in costume. I'll try that idea. Hopefully that won't bit me in the ass.

I will be there the whole weekend if anyone is wondering. And I should at least for one day have my own made white tiger tail and red hat with ears on. It's got pins, so it'll be hard to miss. If I'm not wearing those I might be wearing my black hat with a large red feather in it. If not then.. well, I'll be with my boyfriend who's going to be promoting his show WNES on All Noise Radio. Hopefully some of the people who visit him will want a drawing from me. *__* Also we're suppose to do a raffle, and I told him I'd be willing to raffle a commish off. X__X I just hope whoever wins my prize isn't to hard to draw for.. I guess that's what got me worried the most. I remember trying to draw for a friend-at-the-time and he was being such a douche about it and nit picking everything! *sigh*... But for now I need to eat and drink something. Oh yeah and put on some damn clothes. =___=;;;

There's some art brewing.

Also again, this year I'm heading down to VA for MAGFest. As far as I know I'm going to be there from Thursday to some point Sunday. By not even planning anything it looks like I'm going to be sitting at a table in the dealers area. Mostly because my Owlie is getting a table to promote his radio show. While I'm there holding down the fort with him, I will be trying to sell some art. Possibly some art that's in the gallery or some that I'll try and whip up bit now and then. Also I might be selling on site commissions. Depends on what happens between now and then.

Also if you're just going to be there and feeling like a lonely furry come stop by. I always love meeting new furs. I'll be wearing one of my hats and possibly my own made tail. Of course I'll post about this again when this festival comes closer and I'm more sure wtf is up or planned.

Usually when I make a playlist, it's because I'm trying to create some sort of story. The past couple of days I made one called SH Seth. Mostly because I was playing with plot ideas in my head one day. Anyway, I zoned out around song #7 midway through the song since the only thing I was letting my mind wonder and lounging on my bed. Sadly, I could not make this mind filled trip as in song #9 my very annoying parental unit started to yell at me to answer the phone when they were sitting next to the stupid thing to begin with. In any case I wanted to share said playlist. Maybe you'll take a nice trip the next time when dozing asleep.

It feels like I've been doing nothing since forever. X_x

For the past few weeks or so I've been going on a suggestion to just write any plot ideas that come to mind. A few popped up here or there. Then I lost a couple of days when I found old RP logs from a few years back, and also sadden when I couldn't find the one I remembered having. In any case, I just have the biggest urge to just draw. (Though I should scan the couple of drawings I did draw recently..) It's mostly just been a little bit crazy around here with someone been here 24/7 and driving me up the goddamn wall.

In any case, I have two main characters for this thing instead of one. At least then there will always be something the other character can do with something--I donno. My only issue is that I need a last name for one of them. Not sure if I want to give him a German sounding last name or Danish.

I'm here! I'm here! I haven't forgotten you guys. I've been busy as usual, with life. Partly for spending my weekends with the boy since that seems to be the only long spand of time we can hangout with each other. Partly forgetfulness. I'll forgot I did something until I flip through my sketch book only to find a drawing I wanted to submit, forgotten.

Also I've been trying to prepare myself from getting away from someone who drives me quite up the wall. I would explain, but it would take to long to type. Long story short: I don't want the stress anyone of trying to handle her. Plus I also believe if I "starve" myself from RPing long enough I'll actually get off of my butt and start up this new idea I have.

The only downside is that I fear that without contact from them for to long will result in them seeking me out. And with living in the same city, that can kinda suck.

Anyway, I'll post something in a little while. I'm actually at school at the moment wanting for a ride home. It's like 100 degrees outside and wish not to ride the bus home. I'm just lucky there's people who'll come for me and not actually have to take the bus.

I think I'm really going go for it again. If I'm ever going to break free of my RP oppressed chains, I'm just going to have to sit down and figure out wtf I want to do. What am I talking about? I'm talking about doing a comic seriously this time. For now I need to write up some storyline. No more, "lets pull this from my ass" crap. And a good name. As much as I like the name "Blood Tides" it might not fit this comic and would need a new one. Also it might star some other character depending on story. I think that's what tripping me up. That and sheer laziness. Seth can be a great character, but he's a bit to shallow right away.

Sorry if this is starting to sound like rambling. I'm literally typing my thoughts as they pop into my head..

There's just way to many things in my head at the moment. I want to show how some of the characters were when they were younger, but not all of it is that important. I donno, I'll figure it out and hopefully get somewhere with it. I probably won't have a solid update schedule until I really get into the swing of things and all. So there you have it.

As usual. Lately I've been hating my user name. Go fig. I guess because I've out grown it since high school. It means "Dark Cloud." And I am not the same old gloomy child I used to be. I was thinking whether or not to make a new username before posting my last drawing, but for some reason it wouldn't let me. Go fig. So for now you guys can have this drawing. Any others after that I'm going to hopefully be using a new username. No worries though, they will be a link or whatever leading to it.

I'm hoping with a new username it'll give me the push I need to start up again and maybe Go through with some ideas I've had for a long time now. Normally it was okay, but now after someone told me they were drawing certain things that was...urgh. I don't feel like getting into it now.

I'm getting the urge to try and do a comic again. I guess mostly I'm afraid the story is going to suck ass? *Shrug* I have a crap ton of things to upload, which annoyingly, needs to also be scanned. That was always my problem. It takes like five seconds, but when you have more than one thing to do it feels like forever. At least to me it did, heh. Also I've been thinking of attempting to do commissions. Though honestly I haven't really done that before unless it was IRL with close friends. Heheh. *sweatdrop*

In other news I'm almost done my first year at ITT-tech. O_O I do not know where the time went. It feels like I sneezed. Oh well, one more year and hopefully I will be designing houses or something~<3

The other week I made a promise with my boyfriend. I promised him I would draw more if he writes more. Because goddamn can he write. Well, I've been doodling, but I want to finish the werewoof drawing before I scan everything. Honestly not all of them are full drawings. Though now that I think of it I thought of another drawing. *sweatdrop* Go figure.

I have so many ideas floating through my head right now it sucks. After Christmas I tried to hook up my old tablet for the computer to the laptop I unexpectedly got for Christmas. However, it wouldn't work.. kinda. It loaded the program and when I plugged it into the laptop it picked up almost everything. It was on and running, but whenever I moved the pencil-mouse it would move the mouse on the screen, nor would it notice me clicking either buttons. So I figured it was because my tablet is old and the laptop has windows 7 on it. Though it'll work on the computer which has windows XP. *shrug* So in any case I tried to buy a new one, only to find it's not the kind I wanted to I had to return it. Now with Valentine's Day coming in two weeks I feel the urge to get something for my boyfriend even though I wanted to suggest not to really go nuts on gift giving if at all. *Bleh*

In any case after all of that hassle with the tablet I hooked it back up to the computer. I've been working hard on a picture of Claudia and Zachary. I've never really done armor and people who look like knights, but I do like it thus far. I also need to finish up two unfinished drawings that I randomly started on. Jan I sorta understand since I've been RPing him for the pass couple of months and didn't really have a good drawing of him being thirteen. Although I cannot figure out why the hell I started to draw Misuteru. Urgh, he's not my favorite character out of my wide collection, but he's my little reject. *sigh* Now I have other ideas floating in my head. Plus I still have Friday's work to do.

Also on a side note, I've forgotten how it feels when people chirp at my work constantly. On the wed it's easy to drown in the vastness of just being in a giant collective or just because your work is shadowed by other more impressive works from better artists. And I've been out in that world since I left high school, ie, the last time I had a good art class. But I'm one of the people in my drawing class that can draw. Not that I'm saying everyone in my class sucks monkey tits, but the people around me.. I usually hear them going, WOW OMG YER SO GOOD. :B Which I'm always honored when someone likes my work, but this is week 7 now and I kinda just smile now and say thanks.

Considering how little I post, I'm sure none of you will miss me to greatly. =P However, I am leaving Philly tomorrow and won't be back until Monday. I assure you all, I'll take plenty of photos. Where am I going? To MAGFest! I know, I'm such a dork sometimes. ^_^; Actually it was my boyfriend's idea. He went last year and probably the year before that. However, he keeps telling me stories of there, so I made me wanna go. Plus who wouldn't want to go? It's gonna be full of MUSIC! Woo~ I'z likes my music. But I'm taking my sketch book with me, (though I'm unsure how much time I'll have to sketch.)

I keep trying not to think about it to much so I don't get overly psyched. Last thing I need to do is blow it up to greatly in my head and then end up falling flat on my face, because it didn't measure up to what was in my head. And I'm planning on singing on stage. ^_^

A small update. It looks like I'm heading back to school next month seriously this time. D= For two whole years. x_x I'm excited, and nerved to some point. I know if I work hard enough I can make it. Afterward I would hope I can get a good job. Right now I have this asinine list of sites to go to for scholarships. I hate doing it.. And my ADD keeps trying to kick me in the ass.

So many things to outline and color, so little time and ADD to do it in. I have another chibi picture to finish outlining. One picture needs to be finished drawing. I should fix the star in John's chibi drawing, and I have another picture to outline and color. I know that one may take a while since it's not exactly simple, but not to complex. The outlining will probably take the longest as usual.

In other news I've been one pretty damn happy neko these past few weeks. It just feels like life is going to get better from here. Not saying any easier. Things will always be hard, but it will be at least better. Keeping story ideas in my head. I think I might start using my red book for it since I never use it for LARP like I wanted to. Though since I'm thinking about it I should probably start writing it down. Bleh. I'm going to try and start writing things done more though and not try to keep it all in my head, heh. So do know I am working on stuff. ^_^;

Soo yeah, chibis.. Here's a list of what I need to do so far.

Self drawing - White tiger/bat
John - Squirrel
Di - Grey tabby/lion - Drawn needs scan & color
Ny - Fox/White Tiger - Pending
El - Main Coon - Pending
Tom - Panda (wtf) - Pending
Ed - Raccoon - Pending
Mother - Siamese Cat - Pending
Sa-De' - Hauk/Snow Wolf - Pending

Damn I haven't written or posted a damn thing in just about...FOREVER. Sorry for the lack of journal updates. For a little while it seemed I was doing good with that. Still drawing. Been pretty busy. Used to draw on the weekends, but now a days I go over to my boyfriend's house, hang out, and, sleep there for the night. So it makes it a little bit hard to draw. ^_^;

A friend of mine found a very old 100 theme list I had on my online journal. I so completely forgot it. lol So now both of us are going to try and finish the damn thing. So far I have two pictures drawn. ^^ One I've posted already. The other I will when I'm done with it. I'll probably post the list up and link the pictures to them. Though me and my slow mind hasn't figured out how to make nice looking links on FA. Bah. Can anyone lend a koneko a hand? x_x

And I need to finish No More Heroes. <3 <3 I still find it cute that John dresses up like Travis for Halloween. I think he did it once before at Otakon before I met him though. Maybe if I lose some weight I can play with him. =P Anyway! Rank 4 here I come!

I've noticed I'm been making a lot of journals lately. I think it's because I'm on the site more often now. I suppose this should be under my more personal journal but eh. Went to the movies last night with John. We went to the one closer to him and got me around 10ish since he didn't get out of work until 9ish. The movie wasn't until 11:45 anyway. We saw Role Model and omfg if you go and see it I hope you laugh as much as we did. I think the movie was over around 1:30 or something. Out of a childhood habit I grabbed the back of John's jacket while walking through the crowd. When we were leaving the theater, I offered him my hand and he took it with a smile. He held on tightish at first. But he relaxed after a few minutes. Got in the car, we start driving me home. We chatted a little here and there. And there was the usual poking and what not. We both ended up lost because we're dumb like that. But after he got gas and we both were close to my area I blurted out the question of if he knew what a fury is. He said yes, I asked if he had a problem with them, and he said no. I smiled and probably would've kissed 'em if he wasn't driving. ^_^; I asked him if he knew. He said he thinks it was because of the tail. Which I'm not sure if I understand. I know I told him I had three different ones. Then I asked him if it explained a lot of things and he said yes. Soo yeah, when we finally got back to my house around 3ish he walked me to the door like a gentleman.

Well, something told me to color Tsuy and Claudia's picture and not draw the rest of ADL page four. It might have been better if I had, who knows. I had most of page four already drawn. I had planned on drawing a big panel and and then a small one then go to after that. Well, after I draw these two great pictures I'm thinking "Great I can spend all page five on X thing in one great big picture and etc. Well, come next morning I take a tiny little notebook so I can write down plot ides down and try to, y'know plan ahead for once, and it dawns on me. I skipped something in page four. So when I got home from work I had to erase those two panels and redraw what I missed. T_T Added a little panel cut the big a panel in half but didn't draw in it yet. I didn't erase the little panel yet. I really Seth's face in it, but I know he wouldn't look like that at the end. Sooo maybe I'll just make a black panel--I donno! T_T I wanted to start outlining this yesterday but bleh.

Now I have larp tonight~<3 Which is good for a few reasons. 1) It gets me out of the house, 2) it gets me away from people who drink in the house or are moody, 3) I get to see John even if we're to busy playing to goof off, and 4) hopefully I get to beat the crap out of someone IC. ;D I'm just waiting for her char to come over and be all annoying again.

OMG I don't think I had this much fun during Halloween in many years. Needless to say, after last night and tonight, I may or may not be even more tapped for time for the art thing. ;3 Oh right~

Okay, so my last journal wasn't quick. It almost got me caught down here still before my old man came in on break. Thankfully he talks to much. I'm going to try to go out to Game tonight. Also while I try to finish the next comic page I'm toying with the thought of uploading my other more human drawings. They are nice. Specially the ones my friend Rod drew and then I colored. I liked coloring the Tsuy and Sale drawings. Go fig. But I'll stop here before I rattle off again. For now I'm just sweating to death from this goddamn mother fucking fever. >_@ Damn you! *shakes fist*

I got the computer back on Monday. It froze once and I think rebooted twice already. ;l Which makes me a little unsure what to do with the damn thing. The guy fixed it and everything and it's not all twitchy like it used to be.

Down side to this week. I'm sick with a cold. T___T I got up at 8AM this morning and I'm still freezing even with my toe socks, sweatpants, and sweatshirt on. I was out of work Monday. Felt better so I went back on Tuesday (and I wanted to go to Game.) Matt said he was going to talk to George about leaving at 3AM.. Neither he nor I want to be coming home so late. I have work, and Matt just doesn't like driving the huge distance home and getting there at 5. It's just bad all around.

Yesterday I went to work, but came home after lunch. The people there were telling me I looked bad and even Cindy noticed. Which kinda surprised me. So when I got home I slept. A lot. Ate soup even though I wasn't hungry and was up until I guess around 12ish. I still love the fact that even as old as I am I can still lay my head on my mother's hip of leg and she'll scratch my head until either hurt hand gets stiff, she gets distracted, or I just fall asleep. That's one thing I liked also about the girls I went out with before. They liked scratching my head too. Hopefully whoever I date next will too. D;

Finally today.. Today I'm still home. Work is at 9:30 and usually I'm out of the house by 8:20. Soo yeah. I know I should call but the manager bothers me a little. When June called him yesterday asking if I could go home I ended up seeing him before I left. See they have to check our bags to make sure we're not stealing... And he just had this look on his face. And the tone of his voice. Like he was greatly disappointed in me for ending up sick. It's not my fault I'm sick! I actually dressed warmly so far when it's been cold! Bah! So yeah.. Hopefully Mike nor Dad will notice me sleeping in my room. I still want to go to Game tonight. Mostly so I can see John again. ._.; And I want to seem like I'm not so horribly sick that the party is off on Saturday. Oh man, I'm so looking forward to it. I want to blah to John again how much I like him. If he happens to get me a card though I think I'm going to give him one of my tight hugs and tell him he didn't have to 'cause he's enough of a gift. Which is true. I'm happy everyone is coming, but knowing that John is coming here again after the other month of spazzing on his voicemail I'm glad he still veiws me as not insane. If I do however, talk about my feelings I'll be sure to thank him for putting up with that. When I get anxious it's really hard for me to wait around until it finally just gets out of my system.

*Scratches head* Wow, that was a bit longer than I thought it would be. Oh yeah, that reminds me. I have to keep an eye out on Jackie, I think. I forget what I was saying while getting into Matt's car since it was 3AM, but it was something about furries, and she didn't seem to keen on the idea. I remember I said something along the lines of "not all furries dress up all the time." Of course she pointed out that our friend Diane, who is also a furry, always wears her cat ears. So trying to sound calm and not annoyed I repeated myself. "Yeah but not all furries do that. Some just don't wear anything." "But Diane does." I'm not sure if I mumbled my next sentence or sounded angry. I was to tired to pay attention. Pretty much said that if it were true I'd dress up too. Then Matt calmly told us stop arguing since we didn't even start driving yet. Though in spite of not doing much that night IC, I was happy to be sitting next to John again. Though I gotta stop leaning on the table all the time so he can see pass me and can see George. Somehow John ended up in my seat and I in his. So then I got to see John for the rest of the night.
