Wooooo~

My brain is totally wooo today. I'm seriously considering going to bed at 8 pm XP I don't know what caused it.

I didn't drink that much yesterday.
I went to bed hella late.
I didn't sleep that much.

And I can think about 75 more reasons why my brain went zombie.

Anyway, hardly anything interesting is on TV, so I wouldn't miss a thing. I just don't feel like doing anything...

...after writing a new Serenay Moon episode in RECORD TIME!

I so RULE!

*does a little victory dance and then falls asleep*

There was something with today...

I just can't remember XD Anyway, I get to write a new Serenay Moon episode! Yay! I soooo know what will happen. 'Bound by light, bound by darkness'. All I have to do, is create the biggest chaos ever, that everything seems absolutely hopeless!

... but I don't know how to fix it yet XD I have to keep that in mind, since I may be the one who has to clean up the mess I created then as well.

Writing is awesome. Can't wait to finish the Serenay Moon story. And if I ever get time and energy, I probably will re-write it (with my co-writer, of course. All the way and always.)

Can you imagine, when the story is written and we start all over... we'll actually know what we'll be doing XD

.... maybe we can even publish it then as well XP That would be fun. Serenay Moon, published... hehe

Missed a few days!

Yeah, I missed a few days. I have my reasons!

First: tuesday. The Kumiko Event got cancelled. I was really looking forward to it! So, I was a bit 'whoever-talks-to-me-gets-all-my-negative-mood-over-him-or-her'. Plus I could only spill how terrible I felt. And since you deserve better, I put up some radio silence.

Wednesday: I worked till 2 p.m. and then hurried home, because dad and I would go to the Sign Fair - a fair about graphic-business. Since there was a bit of snow expected and it was a 1.5-2 hour drive, we left rightaway.
We arrived 7.30 pm. A lot of snow, traffic... and well, I needed 2 li'l breaks as well ^_^'. The fair wasn't interesting, or at least, not that much. It was most about presentation and equipment for presentation. Still, I got 2 click-photo-frames (mini size), 2 'Wuppies' (little synthetic balls with eyes; Dutch people seem to like them XD), 2 small notepads, some pens (which I need for my booklet promotion and 2 plastic 'commercial dolphin looking stands' which I plan to paint one day. All very mini, because it's free. Oh, and some new kind of promotional banner-standard.

I then challenged a printing company (with a big-a**-printer) to print one of my latest images; the cover of my 3rd book (and I found something I need to fix, but won't do that now XD). They accepted the challenge and I booted up my laptop.

I was like: huh? But I just worked on it in the car! With the power plug! (we can hook up our laptops in a car so we don't use battery)

Again.
Start up screen

I started to feel weird, so I went to another stand that had the same mini laptop as I had. I could borrow the cable, but again:

I started to panic... I just worked on it and I had't backed up the latest stories I wrote! I called my brother in law (he's my help desk) and suddenly I got a new screen on my laptop 'Checking cache'.

My brother in law told me he could back up my work in case everything crashed, but luckily the thing started working again... and I immediately put my latest work on an USB stick. At least that work was safe now.
Today I made a full back-up. Just so you know. My work is safe.

Anyway, the printing company took my challenge and well... the result was comparable to minor gif-result, but hey: I got a big a** print of my 3rd book cover... twice, because one had a spat of ink on it XP. So no complaints here!

The fair was then over and on the way back I took some big printed maps along. I don't care if there's advertisement on it :) I mean, I got a big map of the Netherlands now XP Maybe I can finally learn where the heck some important places are XD

We left at 10 pm and while the road was still bad, there was little traffic on the way back. The result was a 2.5 hour drive; 3 hours shorter than the first time; towards the fair!

We were back around 00:30, so no online time there. Slept around 1 am... and of course, I had to be shining brightly at 7:30 again XD And of course, I slept terrible XD I think I had about 5 hours sleep!

Thursday:

I don't think much people noticed what I zombie I was XD I even did quite some work! But 8 hours of work... when I got home, I didn't feel up to doing much XP I can't even recall what I did!

Friday:

Only 4 hours of work, but still quite tired. When I got home, I tried to do some high speed internet, but alas: sloooow. I also made a Pen-i comic, finally XD Just send it in! And I turned one of the Wuppie's into a litt;e parrot. A guy I know plans to dress up as a pirate for Carnaval and I told him he needed a parrot XD I suggested a plushie and eventually thought about a Wuppie.
So, I made one for him :) Will give it to him tomorrow, that is, if he comes :) I wonder what he will say...

Solo

Last night I dreamt I was in high school, having to follow Dutch Language class... but for some reason I had to do different things. Things I really liked to do, but my classmates weren't too happy. I couldn't copy notes, they didn't pass on the assignments... usually, the reference to real life is vague, hidden... but this time it's pretty obvious. After all *sighs*

Is it bad if I enjoy my new task? I know I still have to ask a lot, but still... it's a job I wouldn't mind doing at all.
But it's only for 4 weeks...

Anyway, after work, I wrote a new FY episode. The last episode wasn't as bad as I thought and this one went pretty fine as well XD Now the trouble really began... because a little someone remembered a promise that was accidentally made weeks ago XD

Oh, how I love my little moon....

Oh, and hopefully I can write endless rain tonight... Yeah, it's due XD

Sunday!

I planned to write today, but alas... I had to help up putting some Christmas stuff away (we didn't have it in the room any more, the boxes had to be moved) and then I started searching for stuff and well... then it was 3 pm. So, instead, I updated my webshop. And I will pre-update it after this blogpost.

And then, tonight. I dunno. I don't know what to do yet. I don't really feel like drawing and can I write a key-episode in such short time? It's a reaaaally important one, so I am a bit nervous.

Reminds me off, I need to send a new chapter to my beta readers...

DVDhorror

I came to the brilliant idea to start building my family a DVD database. That's like... trying to number all the stones of the piramide of Whatever, AFTER the thing is built XD And boy will a lot of entries stay blank because I have no idea what that movie is about... XD

If this works out fine, I might built one for our Comic Collection, my Manga Collection, my Book collection...

Btw, last night I found out I really have little shelf space left for my manga XD Luckily, my running series are slowly coming to an end as well XP.

But still, databases are handy to know which numbers you miss etc. Though, how to take it along to a Book Fair? I can't take my laptop along, nor a pile of papers!

Missed a day

I didn't want to write a blog yesterday. Work was wonderful and it was today... but then I found out about something... and believe me, I hate Elitists. Who are they to judge people? Just because I don't fit into their little perfect standard world...

I never fit into anyone's standard world! I'm not a copy, I'm unique!

And I thank two people who helped me cheer up last night :)

After work today, I went shopping with mom. I bought a few new Manga :) And some DVD. Planet Earth,- the 6 DVD box. 30 euro's is worth it. I bet Blu-Ray would have been better, but honestly, if I don't have that big a**-tv they have in that store, I honestly won't see the difference XD

Darn it, that screen was awesome. If I ever get rich and famous, I soooo want a big TV like that. And then I'm gonna invite all my friends for a Wii party XP

Wednesday, half over

Well, for the following few weeks, my scedule for work is different. I will work again in the morning, but not in the evening. Honestly, it's exactly the break I needed :) And on the right time as well!

We're watching Bold and Beautiful now (mom is turning into a soapie- Alert! Alert!) and one of the actresses from Golden Girls is in it (2007 or so in the USA?). We doubted for days, but now we know thanks to Wikipedia XP (that's how I know it would be around 2007 in the USA XD). We really like her and wow, she still looks strong for a woman over 80! Admiration there!

Well, tonight I still have to update my website and create a webcomic. That should be doable :) I just hope it won't freeze as much any more. It's slippery! Someone I know fell so hard on the head her head was bleeding! (She even had to go to the hospital) I hope she feels better soon, so ye all, be carefull!!

Tuesday is rolling forward

Wow, the melted snow from yesterday turned into ice. Slippery outside!! That kinda sucks, since I need to get out XD

Yesterday I suddenly got a headache, so I couldn;t draw *sighs* And once again I slept very chaotic. I'm beginning to think it's because of Dream Saga, the manga I read before bed. Dream Saga is not a complicated manga, but the names... The naaaaaames! They are sooo long and I don't know who is who XD At least my characters have a nickname that shortens it XD

Still, only 2 more volumes and I finished re-reading it again :) Then I can go to lighter stuff XD Like Tenchi Muyo or so XD

Well, an hour till work... what to do... and what to eat tonight!? (at work)

Monday has passed

Goodness, I love this episode of Little House of the Prairie XD. I love it when arrogant people get kicked by the loser XD Especially if the loser becomes the love interest of a wallflower who gave up so much... *romantic sighs*

Well, today was a weird day. Cold, snow, hail, rain, sun, snow, sun, snow, cloudy, rain and snow... I think. I think I covered it all now. Lots of snow, sun and rain on one day... Strangeness. I doubted about shopping, but I gambled and hurried home... just before another snow/rain shower!

Lucky me!

After work I also started writing on another episode of FY, but I got sidetracked and started reading about Anastasia Romanov. I found out the bodies they found a couple of years ago, were indeed the last children. It actually made me feel bad: none escaped that dreadful murder. I always feel bad when children are being killed, due to the insanity of men. Or when adults are murdered, btw. Why do people need to kill other people?!

Anyway, I finished my episode of FY during TV my mom put on. It sooo distracts. Took me 30 minutes to write a 10 line piece! Of course I could leave the room, but then I would have to unhook an entire system and reboot it upstairs where it's cold! For 10 minutes of work! I didn't go upstairs for a reason! ARGH!

I don't know if I managed to end the story well. I might re-read it tomorrow. I so hope warmth will return. That way I can spend more time on my room!
... but then people will think I'm anti social again...

...I just can't win, can I?
