This is pretty much how I feel now, too. Figure study of me, because for some reason I have nicely curved hips.
I’ve been having dizzy spells all day, today and yesterday. I hope I’m not getting sick with something. I had a nap both afternoons, too, and that didn’t stop it.
I’ll tell you about all the fantastic things that’ve been happening later, when I don’t feel so dizzy.

Aaaaand here I demonstrate that I indeed DO know how to accomplish what I want to do with my life, or rather, the people who live in my head know how I can accomplish what I want to do in my life. It’s quite succinct, really. “Do that thing until you are sick of it. You’ll recover.” Which is entirely true. I’m just lazy. I think the angel came out quite well in this picture. Flairé… not so much.
I heard from my Japanese friend! She’s all right. …I know, you didn’t know I had a Japanese friend, so this announcement is not as exciting as it could have been. But still.
I watched FFVII: Advent Children (you know, that sequel spin-off movie) last night. Omigosh it is so funny! The belief-defying physics, the corny dialogue (tho I watched it in Japanese with subtitles), Reno, Vincent, Bahamut, Sephy… I was rolling around in my chair giggling like an idiot (and squeeing every time there was a pretty boy on the screen, sooo… there was a LOT of squee. Good thing my brother wasn’t there.). And then I went on Wikipedia (because I like researching things I already know : P ) and found out THERE’S AN EXTENDED EDITION OMIGOSH WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD ME OF THIS. GAH. So I shall away to Best Buy tomorrow (now that I know where it is) and see if they have it. It appears to be only on Blu-Ray or however you spell that newfangled gimmick, but my dad’s computer plays Blu-Ray and when I get a new computer (as I shall sooner or later) I shall also. Anyway. Pretty boys. With swords. Yes. I think I understand the plot but really it’s not important at all. : D
I like bagpipes.

Yeee! It’s done. Please let me know if I left out any details. Like logistics or maybe some shading looks funny or you don’t like the font (Trajan Pro) or something. Click for giant version, and then you can download it and print it if you like. I know it doesn’t fit on a regular page. I’m gonna just print it on larger sheets of paper and have strange white stripes down the sides.
EDIT: Dad says my hair is not this light. If I was standing against a background this dark, my head would blend into it. He’s absolutely right. But I’m not fixing it until tomorrow at least. : D
EDIT 2: Better? New version is on the right.
EDIT 3: Posters are printed and they look lovely. The resolution really came out well on 11×17 glossy paper. (Like I said, I’m not trimming the sides.)
So. Um. Believe it or not, I drew this almost entirely from my head. And a bit of mirror work for the mouth which was being a huge pain. My mom still doesn’t recognize who this is without being told, but whatever. Compare with last year’s strange alien creature! So much better, ain’t it?
Hmm. I don’t think the dress will look as good on me IRL as it does in this picture. Oh well.
Today I watched Restless Natives. It was hilarious. I loved it. Of course, because it’s the first time I saw it, I was also a total chicken about it. But it was soooo funny, especially the loony Japanese. X D Also I could have hugged everyone in the film, especially the Scottish policemen. Oh man I love those guys. SO MUCH.
Also my pieces are ALMOST completely memorized and ready to play (which is good coz I’m runnin’ out of time!)

Three weeks until my grad recital! So I’m working on the poster. Here is a preview. The background will probably be a light colour but I may change my mind. I do like pictures with deep rich hues in addition to pretty pastels.
Thoughts? What needs improving? I think I need to touch up the end of the nose because it’s not really coming out of the face like a nose should. Also my eyes aren’t that bright brown.
