I'm coming out...

I have a confession to make. It's really big and I hope you don't hate me for it. Okay, deep breath, and here I go. I'm coming out... as a Jedward fan. Now I know you're disappointed in me, and I would be too! Basically the Justin Biebers of Ireland... and I'm a fan. I have gone so low as to say today, "I need my daily dose of Jedward" while frantically trying to plug my ipod into my mom's car. When I first saw them on the 8 out of 10 cats Christmas special, I thought they were the most annoying creatures this planet had. Then I started listening to their music, thinking "This isn't too bad, but there are so many better people." Just like I did for Cher Lloyd (who I am also a fan of now...) I watched the music video, listened to the song and turned it off, thinking it was bad. But then I watched it again... again... and again... and fell in love with their music. Not them though. They look like porcupines, John is annoying beyond belief (Edward is quieter and apparently normal. I like him better.), and they dress like Lady Gaga and execute it poorly. But they're not too bad when their hair is not spiked up.

It's sad I have that on my computer, isn't it? Waterline is super catchy and really good and I've becoming a fan of their song Lipstick. I'm dying for their new album Young Love to come out so I can get Waterline and Luminous on my ipod. Even though I've heard only the preview of Luminous, I'm already learning the words and in LOVE with this song. And is it bad that I can tell them apart in this picture? Okay, I'm pretty sure to the left is Edward and on the right if John. John's face is more angular, but it's not that easy to tell from this picture, but I'm pretty sure it's the twin on the right... oh my frogs just listen to me! GAAAAHHH!!! BOTH OF YOU OUT OF MY HEAD NOW!!! I just want to curl up and cry now... oh and guess who's following them on twitter now... yep. I promise I won't turn into a fan girl. I promise!
In other news, I should be studying for my math final (finals started today... yay?) so I don't fail (again) but instead I'll be rocking out to Jedward and Regina Spektor's new album (love love LOVE her) and baking dark chocolate chip cookies. The Toll House recipe is too heavenly.
Doodle of the Day!
Here's Crystaline again! She's kicking butt and taking names! I'm really proud of her anatomy and how it doesn't suck. The background is terrible, but at least one of my pictures has one this time.

The Dragon's lost her touch and Marvel is amazing

Okay, I'm going to make the first part of this really super quick so I can get to this story about Marvel. (don't worry, it's not another Avengers thing)
So when I get angry, it has been described as terrifying, dragon like, scary, and "has the ability to make satin shake", but I got a new one when I was texting my friend last night. He said I'm...cute... when I'm angry. Cute?! Cute! How?! I make people feel terrible and I make them know I'm disappointed in them... and it's cute?! The hell?! I'm losing my touch! Well, enough about me and onto the next story.
Marvel is an amazing company with amazing heroes, but they're the heroes in this story, as cheesy as it sounds. I don't know if anyone has read the story, but it is fantastic.
So there's this 4 year old little boy who loves super heroes and is deaf in his right ear and has to wear a large hearing aid on his left, which he calls "Big Blue". One day this boy, Anthony, refused to use his hearing aid because superheroes don't wear hearing aids. So his mom wrote to Marvel to see if they could help in any way. They sent him Hawkeye comics (who wears a hearing aid in the comics), some pictures of him as a superhero with Hawkeye, and they created a new superhero named The Blue Ear, who's power comes from his super hearing device.
How Awesome is that?! The guys at Marvel did so much for this little boy (who I assume is wearing his hearing aid again) when they could have done so little! Marvel, you rock even more now. If your comics and heroes wasn't enough, this is just... brilliant. Just brilliant. I'm so looking forward to grabbing a Blue Ear comic if they come out. I hope they do. 
I found out about this from the Philly D show :Philly D Blue Ear! Who got it from: The Daily What.
Well, that's a heartwarming story for ya! See? I can stop bitching about my life to share an awesome story like this!
Oh and doodle of the day is...
Ash Davis: Crystaline
This is my own superhero Ash Davis, who is Crystaline! She's from the planet Pantol and crash landed on earth after her ship that was on a diplomatic mission was taken over by mutineers. She didn't know if she was a hero or villain for some time, but she's been working to be a hero. Her power is that she can create purple crystals of any shape or size pretty much anywhere she chooses. She's also good at analyzing people's intentions and situations. 
I have some old sketches that I'll post later. I've redesigned her and added more to her story, but she's always had that jewel in her chest/neck area. Her costume has kinda changed as well and now she's in a more Marvel ish style. But that's all I have for now.
-Cheers!

I blame the Avengers for my procrastination

So I saw The Avengers last night with some friends and loved it! I'm not a big fan of super hero movies, but now, I can't stop thinking about how awesome it was! That is a major problem considering I have a big French project that I need to work on right now and I have 2/8 pop up pages drawn and colored and 1/30 or so sentences corrected and ready to copy onto the book. I'm so distracted by how funny and action packed it was and by how hot Chris Evans is. That and he looks eerily similar to America (or Alfred F. Jones) from the anime series Hetalia: Axis Powers. I mean, seriously!! I totally want to be a super hero/ villain now. I can't decide between the two. I'm more suited to be a villain, but Chris Evans's face!! I really can't decide. Well, I guess I'll go to the villains cause they're pretty cool. I also already have my own Legion of Evil... I can have Tom Hiddleston then! I also wanted to see more Hawkeye and Black Widow. They need their own movie. Both were pretty bad ass. I also need to watch the Captain America movie for Chris Evans's face...
Stick some glasses on Captain America and scruff up his hair and tell me I'm wrong.
GAAAAHHH! Stop distracting me!!! Well, after The Avengers I made it through 6 episodes of Merlin season 4 in the SECOND ANNUAL MERLIN MARATHON!!! My friends and I were so tired after the movie that we began to drink massive amounts of Monster to stay awake. We put them into shot glasses and took a shot of Monster every time they said magic, enchantment, or spell in the episode. There was one episode where they managed to avoid all three of those! It was a blast! Pretty fun times.
Well, I need to go do homework so I don't need to worry about it around my choir concert tomorrow.

Doodle of the day: 
Just a really old doodle of a girl from last year in math class. I drew so much in that class. Maybe that's why I got a C...
-Cheers!

GAH WRITING!

I really don't want to blog today and I just want to write in my book so I will. I will leave you with a new character sketch (yet another not yet written into the book, but I'm working on it!) and a snippet from chapter 2 of CBaHC! Let me fill you in. Jane just got into a fight with another crew member and Aaron was chosen to cool her off.
This is Esmeralda. She's another Ali just like Bones, but she has a dark past. And she's blind...

“Some one go calm her,” Bones commanded. The crew looked amongst themselves, looking for some one to go get her after her meltdown. Conall pushed me out into her direction. I looked back to the crew, no one willing to go instead of me. I took a deep breath and went over to Jane. I jogged over and slowed behind her, shadowing her. I obviously did something wrong because she whipped her blade out and pointed it at my throat. I held my hands up and backed away.“What do you want?” she hissed.“I…uh… needed to calm you down… or that’s what Bones said,” I stuttered. She gave me a curious and disgusted look.“They sent you? Why would they send a spineless boy like you? It seems like the only human interaction you’ve had is with your mother.” Her voice and eyes were filled with anger. I never noticed her eyes changed to slits, like a cat.“My mother is dead.” It came out harsher and quieter than I expected. She was taken aback, mouth hanging open slightly. With one blink, her eyes were back to a more human eye. Her ears dropped, as if she actually was sad for me.“I’m sorry.” She wouldn’t look at me. “My mother is dead too. I never thought…”“It’s okay. We still have memories,” I replied. She looked up, genuinely surprised.“Yeah, we do.” Both of us chuckled a bit. “You’re not a bad kid. I’m just surprised Bones is letting you come along at such a young age.”“I have twenty eight years.” Jane’s mouth dropped again.“You? A weak, scared, awkward kid, I mean, man, like you has twenty eight years? You’re just full of surprises.” We began to walk back to the rest of the group now that Jane wasn’t a danger to anyone.“I’m not weak. I’m just lanky. Believe it or not, I’m a pretty good shot with a bow. I’m not a bad swordsman either,” I said. Jane seemed impressed by this.
-Cheers!

I'm a mongoose!

So, I'm feeling better, especially after some good ol' acting. For theater class, we have to act as animals, so I picked the majestic mongoose. I'm really enjoying myself, though I only really eat, sleep, drink water, and explore. I have to do a slice of life tomorrow, so I have decided to eat an egg. Yes, mongooses or mongeese or what ever you call them (I like mongeeses because everyone can agree its wrong) can crack open and eat eggs. I'm really excited to try it out. Here's the doodle of the day in honor of mongeeses.

This is the mongoose person Layla from Captain Bones and her Crew. Well... she's not actually written in yet, but I'm planning on it! So that's in honor of mongeeses. Cause they're that cool.
Also, I'm feeling much better now that all the stress is gone. I think I just needed a day off. Mental Health day, YAY!
-Cheers!
