I did not remember this blog... should I blog again? I have twitter, though...

I apologise for the rant

My first post since ages and it's a rant. I know it's unfair to those who actually read this, but I need to get this out of my system. Like always, I won't mention any names or descriptions. I make certain the other party remains anonymous. This means you only know my side of the story. But I don't mind. After all, this is my blog XP.

A middle aged woman thought it was okay to be all bitchy to me. I gave up my seat for her, but apparantly she claimed she had more right 'because she got in earlier'. I believe we both pay the same for a ride. Anyway, instead of starting a hissy fit, I only said: "Excuse me for giving up my seat for you."
So, I sat down near the window, which is not a seat, but a... I don't know what it is. A bump or so? Anyway, considering my bad hip, that is a BAD choice, but it's less bad than standing for half an hour. So, in fact, a healthy middle aged woman send a young cripple woman away from a seat.
Halfway the ride there were more empty seats, but I refused to go and sit there. I have my pride. I do not want to give that woman the pleasure. So, I kept sitting there, in the aisle.
She got out sooner than me and she started a hissy fit. "There are so many seats and you still sit here!"
Of course, do you think I WANT to sit there after being treated so rude?
"You are so rude!"
Who do you think I am? A 16 year old? But I denied her that pleasure. All I said was: "Do you really think I want to sit there now? This whole situation says more about you than it says about me."
I refused to explain her about my crippleness. I deny her that knowledge - I keep the honour to myself.
"Yes! Yes it does say a lot more about you than it says about me! It says how stupid you are! The insolence!"
Because, apparantly, my remark was too high of intelligence for her. She totally pulled it out of context and then just retorted with that I was rude and stupid. Yeah, cuz that's SO MATURE.
I denied her any more response and she got out (nose held high!). A woman next to me asked me what that was all about. I was honest: I gave her my seat (while being cripple) and this was how I was repaid. The woman laughed. I was right.

This does say a lot more about that woman than it says about me.

And yes, my hip hurts now. But I rather want a hurting hip (and keep my pride) than give her the pleasure of seeing me taking an other seat. And if being smart and mature equals superiority complex and rude behaviour towards others (and the young), then please, LET ME STAY STUPID AND INSOLENT FOREVER.

The return of Kitty Ocean's Boredom!

...or at least, I plan.

No, I still won't fill hundred of posts about my life. It's not interesting, nothing ever happens and I don't want to complain all day long again.

So, I will do things differently. I want to fill this blog with reviews about the How to Draw books I own (and I own quite a lot!) and perhaps sometimes a manga or art materials. Question is: what would YOU think is interesting to read about it? What would you like to know? What is important about a review? Which questions do you have about a book? I know it's all about my opinion, but suggestions are always welcome !

Yes, it's been long

And it will probably be a lot longer before I will post again XD Sorry, guys!

The reasons:

• Promotion at work. It means a lot less time
• Seriously, nothing important is going on in my life
• Twitter is waaaay easier and faster. Sorry, it is! I can just type at random! Random mini blogposts make things annoying; can you imagine all my tweets as blogposts? Seriously, that wouldn't be any fun.

But don't worry, ONE DAY I will use this blog again. Moments of silence are not unknown for 'Kitty Ocean's Boredom' XP

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.

Start up screen
Black

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
Black

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:

Start up screen
Black

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?

CCCP XD

Funny XD I'm watching Cool Runnings; I need some happy brainless movie XD And I just noticed the Swiss Bobsled has CCCP on it XD I know an other CCCP. And that's software!

You don't have to understand the joke, as long as I think it's funny XD

Yesterday I drew Iri and Tenshi; the first Twins of MorningSnow. While I like their hairstyle, I dislike their faces and especially Iri's clothes XD Way too sugar coated XD I may not even post it XP Or change colours digitally XP Iri's clothes looked great in my mind :(

Today I wrote 2 episodes for Forever Young. Things are going waaaay unplanned XD

"Hold on. Are you saying Stellus won the great war with MorningSnow... and nobody knows about it?! I even helped them?!"

Ha-ha-haruhi XD

Lame title, I know. Anyway, finally watched the Haruhi Suzumiya episodes I was behind. Endless 8 ended not as good as I expected. You have 8 episodes that are practically identical and then you finish it up in 3 minutes?! You could have given it at least a 10 minute ending!
The movie making saga is cute XD Asahina-san is just plain.......... bad actress XD I guess that's what I like about it.

I hope I didn't spoil anything for some people. Someone asked me to stop spoiling things in my Twitter (had no idea I was spoiling anything, but I guess I was...) so I decided to stop watching the series for about half a year. Surely anyone who wanted to see it, had seen it by now! And if I still spoiled things... Hey, how am I supposed to know what you watched and haven't watched XD?

Outside there's quite the layer of snow again. Poor dogs, having clumps of snow in their paws... But one of my dogs really liked snow :) So she had the most clumps to her paws XD Oh well, at least she enjoyed it!!

Cobra

My dream last night involved a cobra... strangeness. In a basket (like stereotype india and all) and wanting to get out... and I put that thing right next to my bed as well! Strangeness!

At work, I was called twice by a secret number; so I had no idea who could be calling. They never left a message either. How am I supposed to call you back when you don't leave a message?! Okay, I dislike Voicemails, but still... accepting the voicemail and then hanging up?! Gaaah....

And when I got home, I got a call: "Hey Kitt, I want to place an order at *webshop I'm working for*, how do I place an order." And stupid me ANSWERS XD. So, when I'm away from work, I STILL help customers XD

Oh, and yesterday evening, while coming home from work... so much Midlife Crisis Cars! I think I even saw a Porsche! (Midlife Crisis Cars = cars middle aged men buy to feel young again. Not that everyone I saw has a midlife crisis, but then you know what kind of cars I mean XP). I think I saw about 10 midlife crisis cars in 7 minutes XD Was there some sort event or so?

Wow, this journal post is so chaotic XD I blame the visitor that suddenly came so everyone is talking while I try to post a post!

Bewitched

I watched Bewitched yesterday. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give it a 6. It's a decent movie for which you need no brain, but you have to know the old series Bewitched to actually understand half of it... and at the end it got messy. Reality and television got really mixed up. (Reality in the movie, that is XD) Somehow, my fav character was Isabel's father XD And he wasn't much in it!

Also, a book I wanted for years is on its way to me, through mail. Yay! I just hope it is indeed the book I wanted... otherwise I have to send it back XD

I'm also very, very hungry.... gaaaah, need breakfast XD But it isn't ready yet.

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Post 1045

I still have no idea for my weekly comic. The only big thing that happened in my town, was that a 'playground' (Bouwspeeltuin) has been burned to the ground... on purpose! But how to make a 4 panel comic about that?!

I also finished reading Card Captor Sakura yesterday. A lot of details were noticed but still... the ending was like, 3 pages! Way too short XD They could have added a bit more drama/reunion XD They explain the bad guy's pupose in 2 chapters, but the ending is rushed into 3 pages XD

Other than that... it's wednesday again! And super cold XD So tonight I will go on my bike through super cold, to end up in a tropical swimming pool... and when I go back again, it's freezing again.

If that won't give me cold.... XD

Bittersweet

I think I know the reason why I suddenly have bittersweet dreams (just wished I could remember them!) I've been re-reading Card Captor Sakura high-speed, just before bed (just need 2 more volumes and I'm done XD) and well... that certainly has bittersweet parts.
Though I still think Toya and Yukito are not a perfect match XP As friends, yes, but I really can't see them as lovers XD Sorry, CLAMP! Yukito is cute, Toya is cool... but together... I'm just not seeing it XP

Other than that: did a lot last night- the dishes, folding about 50 cards, started up a drawing and finishing it! All in 5 hours! Well, I think I did a lot XP

Ah, work today. What wonders and funny things will I stumble across this time?
