(Happy
Birthday to Me. Again.)
This is
depressing. Aido goes and finds a more interesting place
to complain and suddenly the MFoD isn't good enough.
Three months later, she leaves it to me to
update.
Oh,
hello. It's Pyr again. I get to do my yearly update
thing. Also depressing that I usually get to update on my
birthday, which happened to be three days ago.
So? So.
In reality, I have nothing to say. Aido's still alive,
she still updates Fallen on occasion. She enjoys going to
RIT and does interesting
things
in her classes. (By the way, that file happens to be
60MB.) And me? I've been busy. Quite busy, in fact. Aido
doesn't help much.
Anyway,
if you haven't seen it already, check out my guest strip
for Fallen.

Sorry, haven't been
very motivated to blog lately. >_o I really don't have
much to say, either. I've been spending my time slacking
from both homework and comic. And I haven't been getting
much sleep. Which makes me very uninteresting to listen
to.
Thank you to everyone
who sent e-mails of support. I must have gotten 60 or so
in the past several days. It really means a lot to me. I
think the thing's basically worked through. Many thanks
to everyone.
By the way, if anyone,
anyone at all wants to buy me Endless Nights... I will
love you forever. >_> *coughStefan*
And in conclusion....

(just what I needed.)
I just can't seem to
get away from this kind of shit. Every six months to a
year, the same
girl pops up,
accusing me of copying her intellectual property. And it
seems that she's gone and paid for the copyrights for my
creations AND she has a lawyer, too.
I hate this. I hate
this.
There's nothing I can
do now but wait and feel sorry for myself. I feel so
useless.
In 2000 and 2001, this
girl nearly drove me off the internet. I won't let that
happen. If not for me, then for the people who appreciate
my work. I will not be beaten, goddammit.

Before I do anything, a
quote from Sett.
"I
do have some hairy frenchman perfume that came with my
suit, though. It smells like a hairy frenchman drinking
coffee and has a picture of a hairy, naked frenchman
drinking coffee on it."
....
Well, I
found it amusing.
So, anywho. I've been
hanging out with people far more interesting and cool
with myself. Had an interesting time watching Bastard!,
which was thoroughly MST-ed and generally made fun of.
That mixed with DDR was the source of today's
title.
I thought I'd have
something more interesting to say... but alas. I am not
an interesting person.
Hmm. I'm sleepy. And

I suppose I should post
something to tell you people I'm alive...

Okay, so I arrived at
RIT on Sunday. It is now technically Wednesday. Things
are going relatively well, I get along with my roommate
and I am currently desperately trying to make friends.
And have succeeded. Kinda.
I live on the 6th
floor. The elevator doesn't like to work. It's a pain in
the ass to climb up all those damned stairs. I've spent
the past three days being exhausted.
Went to a thingie
hosted by the Anime Club tonight, which was nifty keen.
They're my kind of people. Kinda nutty, very
geeky.
Haven't actually sat
down and drawn since I got here. Feel guilty about that.
I'll get started soon enough. But not now, because I'm
exhausted and incoherent.
In other news,
this
is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. It must be six or
seven stories high. And it's RIGHT in the middle of
campus.
In other other news,
check out my sweet pad. One,
two,
three.
Tino
and STEEEEEVE
should be coming relatively soon. I'm looking forward to
seeing them.
Whoo, bed

expect a Fallen update. Wasn't able to do the page. I
was, however, able to do the guest comic for
Altermeta.
So look for that some time in the future.)

Hmm. I said I'd work on
a page for Fallen this week so I could update it on
Sunday while I'm getting set up at college. Haven't
started it yet. I don't even have most of the page
written out. I have some of tomorrow free, but it's
probably all going to be spent packing the car for the
drive up on Saturday morning.
Wanted to draw a guest
comic for Altermeta,
too... which seems to have gone completely out the
window. I'm still going to try my damnedest to do a pinup
or SOMETHING for you, Casey...
And for pete's SAKE
people, don't abandon the forum!
;_;
You guys are
mean.
Right. *eh-hem* Art
stuffs.
One. Redesigning
Gesshoku Foxxis. One,
two.
The foxxis community seems to be building up again,
although I'm probably going to wind up not doing anything
yet again because of my schedule of pain. (yeesh, as
though I didn't have enough characters to take care
of...)
Two. I seem to be
getting in the horrible habit of blogging my life as
comics. (Bad Aido! Bad!) So, here's some things that
happened on Tuesday
(the perils of
having an asian father)
and Wednesday
(bad touch! BAD TOUCH!).
The one from Tuesday has horrible comedic timing. This is
why I do not draw either a gag comic nor a generally
"funny" comic.
Three. I had the most
fantastically kickass dream about Pyr a few nights ago.
Tried to put it down in comic-form, but then got
discouraged from my 3-am art stylings and decided not to
finish it. But I got some nice
brush-pen doodles
of him down anyway.
Four. Finally got up
the gall to e-mail Cara Mitten after something like two
years of not talking because the both of us were lazy
and/or busy. She... is so cool. Still one of my big
idols. Got inspired, drew
this. Yeesh,
it's been a long time since I drew m' dragon form.
*reminiscent sigh*
Oh yes. And I forgive
you, Steve.
It's not your fault that you didn't know that I was so
great when you were at Otakon. I blame it all on
Tino.
XD

Finished up Sandman
today. I cried. Don't know whether the ending was sad or
happy or whether I should just be miserable because there
isn't anymore for me to read. Well, except for Endless

Okay, four things, then
I go to bed. Number one:
You are... Elizabeth's
pirate fetish. You're a secret, closet
fetish that no one knows about. Except maybe
Jack. Something about rum swigging, ne'er do
well cads gets your goat. It's okay, I'm sure
lots of people feel the EXACT same way. Really.
Which
Pirates of the Caribbean Character's Unhealthy Fetish are
YOU?
brought to you by Quizilla
Number two: I would
like to say how much in awe I am of Neil
Gaiman. The
man blogs from his cellphone. At a Renfaire no less.
(one day, I swear I shall write him a piece of fanmail so
fantastic, he shall be rendered completely speechless.
But until then, I look forward to buying the last two
Sandman books.)
Number three. Also from
Mr. Gaiman's weblog. It is official, I am actually
female. This
doohickey
evaluates your writing and tells you what gender you are.
It got me 100% correct, every time. (which has to be
something like 25 times by now.)
Number four. Also also
from Mr. Gaiman's weblog. Nice
Hair, a comic
about people worth reading about. Adorable style. Go
through the archives, there's some Sparrow-y goodness in
there.
And that, as they say,
is that.

Yep, an actual early

only because I had that damned page finished on
Thursday...) I'm
currently working on finishing up updating ALL of the
galleries at the Fallen site, then I'm going to go work
on a new page of comic. And it's all because I love you
people and want to be all set to entertain the masses
when I go to college. O_O

TheCounter.com killed
my counter. It's gone now. http://howcute.cjb.net/
doesn't seem to be working in the chibi Pyr department.
He's gone now as well. At least for the time
being.
I spent something like
two hours yesterday working on one panel of fallen, and
another five or so on the same panel today. The page is
finished now, but I think it'll be saved for Sunday out
of spite. The damned thing killed my brain.
Ever since I finished
that page, I've been working nonstop on the galleries at
the fallen site. I've most of the thumbnails done, at
least. Which also... killed my brain. I have no idea how
I have the capacity to type this at this very
moment.
On a lighter note,
check out Andrew's
comic blog. He
gave me a 2-comic long cameo. It pleases me. Despite my
liquefied brain.
Also, after visiting
his blog, I felt suddenly inclined to do my own
biographical comic. So here's
a comic of what I did
in the past week. It's mildly entertaining. The file is
also quite large, since I wrote quite small.
I have banner ads up at
Grab
Twist Pull,
which also pleases me. It's written by Tino, a guy I met
at Otakon who also happens to be going to RIT. If you
want to find him in my con report, he was the guy in the
Cabbit suit. Or the guy who was worshiping the bunny.
Either one. He has DDR in his dorm room. He is my new
best friend.
It is 1:30 am. I think
that my mom is lurking around down stairs to pounce and
yell at me for not going to bed sooner. Because, y'know,
I'm completely irresponsible.
Er, yes. Sleep.

My
pirate name is:
Black Anne
Bonney
Like anyone confronted
with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can
be pessimistic at times. You can be a little bit
unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of
certainties, so that fits in pretty well.
Arr!
Hehe, that was
entertaining.
I got my hair cut
yesterday. Well, I got many hairs cut, actually. It used
to be down to my waist. Now it's to my shoulders. It's
all being donated.
I did the same thing two years ago, but I don't remember
it being this short... ;_;
Oh yeah, and I drew a
really cute, really poorly drawn comic. Took me something
like two hours. (short in comicking terms.)
One,
two.
Oh yeah, and I'm
putting serious thought into getting t-shirts made for
Fallen. I have been made aware of a place
that will actually screen-print colored t-shirts
(see:black)
and a place that will sell
the buggers for
me.
Thaaat's it.

Yes! Going to Otakon.
I'll probably be in the artist alley most of the time.
(or stalking the
Machall
guys...) Look for
the short asian girl with glasses who brought way too
much stuff. That's me. Also, sorry, no soundtracks. I've
been well advised against bringing them because it could
get me arrested. And plus I don't have time to burn them
at this point anyway.
Last minute print:
Suitachi,
the lantern bearer. I love my gods.
Hmm. Received another
one of those "omg if u dont send this to 20 peopl in 1
hour u'll have bad luck 4 SEVEN years!!!111" chain
letters.
"Sorry, but
this chain letter is for real.
When Anne Wichert
got it for the first time, she ignored it and a week
later the love of her life dumped her for no good
reason so BEWARE, and just send the stupid
letter!!!!!!"
I can't believe that I
actually believed these things when I was 11. I mean, the
person who sent it certainly did, looking at the 25
people s/he sent it to... yeeguz.
Aaanywho.
I'm leaving tomorrow
afternoon, but don't expect me to be around before then.

(Stuff to be sold at Otakon!)
Huzzah! Oookay, so
here's a quick rundown of what I'm doing for
Otakon.
First, as mentioned
before, no costume for me. Boohoo.
(John for some
reason is going at Black Mage from FF1. Why, I have no
idea. I still think he would make a mighty fine Sirius
Black. But that's because I'm a fangirl.)
How-EVER, I will have
my MASSIVE Bunny with Sharp Pointy Teeth with me, at
least at my Artist Alley table. Like
so. I will also
be wearing this
badass pair of wings
at least one day. (Yes, I made them myself. Yes, you may
pet them if you ask nicely.) Otherwise, I'm short, have
glasses, and look kinda asian.
(although I'm
supposed to look native american without my glasses.
>_> )
Anywho. I'm going to be
selling b/w and color prints. I have a nice list going of
what I'm making prints of, including this
picture of Kaijyu
which I drew especially for the event. I am also going to
be selling little postcard-type marker things that I've
been working on feverishly for the past week. Here's a
few of my favorites: Reah,
Singe,
Taro,
Faustus,
Void,
Chi.
I'm working on a few actual anime characters at the
moment.
By the way, markers
hate me. And they've made my drawing desk into a warzone.
Check
it out.
If anyone wants them,
I'm burning a few of my character soundtracks, since the
people at the forum
seemed pretty enthusiastic about it. Or you can just stop
by Rey's
place.
Plug time! Two badass
comics: Damaged,
Eidolic
Fringe.
... I think that going
to bed at 3:30 every night might be bad. Hmm. Must ponder
this.

empty. (It had to be restarted from a backup from May,

Oh yes, and if you had
a special ranking or somesuch, please PM me to give it
back to you, because it's most likely gone.
The UK? It was
fun-tastic. And I wouldn't use such a stupid sounding
word unless it was true. The trip was really great. I'm
still going through photos, but I'll post a whole bunch
for your viewing pleasure at a later date. Went to
Stonehenge, Eilan Dunan (the coolest castle EVER), Loch
Ness, York, Edinburgh, Dublin, a whole slew of other
places... fun-fun-fun. I do wish we could've spent more
time in York and Edinburgh... they're really nifty
cities.
By the way... Pirates
of the Caribbean is a sexy, sexy movie. I was so
engrossed in Johnny Depp's character that I completely
ignored Orlando Bloom. I love pirates.
Finally, is anyone
going to Otakon
this year? Apparently Slimu
was going to go, but now he isn't and it makes me
weep. I'm probably going to be hanging out in the artist
alley the entire time, alone and costumeless. (*sniffle*
I didn't have time to make a costume this year...
>_> ) Please e-mail
me if you're going or want to buy prints or something.
I'm also going to try to bring a few of the character
soundtracks, if anyone wants them. I'll just give one to
you if you ask nicely. And if you pose with my Mr.
Neutron-sized Rabbit With Sharp Pointy Teeth for a
