after one long season of waiting

It's my one and only day off this week. And by day off I really mean day I can afford to spend not studying or writing. For most of it, at least. Which means I get to spend today packing and deciding what gets shipped home and what goes in storage and everything. Right now, this is infinitely better than anything that involves actual mental processes, because mine are all broken. If you want to see what I've been up to, the image part of my Tolkien project (which, of course, I made infinitely more complicated and time-consuming than it needed to be) is up here. Yaaay image-editing!

So, if you didn't see my away message yesterday - basically I got up at 9:30 and set to work on the project. And fixing the images took longer than I expected. Then I had to scan two more, and the scanner was occupied and I went to get something to eat and the change machine's tray was filled with water, which both amused and disturbed me. Then for some reason I couldn't get the internet to let me send myself the image files after I had them scanned, and by then it was 3:45 and the project was due at five. So I rush-edited one of them and left the other out, then tried to start printing and the printer decided that it hated me and wouldn't print things in colour and failed everyt time, so at 4:30 I e-mailed my professor and gave her my sob story about technology rebelling against me. Luckily she took pity on me and sent me a very nice e-mail back, which cheered me up, and said I could turn it in before 9 this morning. And so I touched everything up and made everything look a bit better and turned it in. Hooray! So, that drama is over for now.

All right... I don't have much else to write about, so I think I'll go organize the stuff in my bedroom. I've still got laundry from a week ago that I haven't put away. I'm so lazy.

So, a few days ago it was brought to my attention that it's NaNoManGo or something. Which also somehow caused sketchyheart to jump on the bandwagon. Which caused me to jump on the bandwagon, despite the fact that I can't draw (it's solidarity!). So, if you ever wanted to see what happens when a comic is influenced by Homestarrunner and Plato... I suppose you can read these (everything I draw that isn't a stick figure looks like Strong Sad!). Otherwise, and even if, you're going to be scared. Because I change style so many times you'll get whiplash. And the first four pages were done in pencil and left in pencil, which was mighty evil of me because the scans came out entirely too light. But anyway... I present to you something that I suppose I am now obligated to call Title Goes Here.

This comic comes with the sketchyheart "*dies giggling*best. comic. ever." seal of approval. Keep in mind this was followed rather quickly by a link to a Fuery x Gran icon, so take that as you will. Hehehe.

Goshdarnit, I jump on the bandwagon so easily.
