WooHOO!!! Finally, I'm out of the red! All I need to finish up my cosplay is to finish up the sleeves, cut out and sew on the clouds! I'm cosplaying as Deidara at Otafest this weekend, for those of you that don't know.

Only thing, is that fixing up my hair will be a pain. I have to use permanent dye, which'll take a couple months to fade away at all. So, Adam, the next time you see me after Otafest, my hair'll probably still be blonde. XD

Course, I'm in a really good mood by this point, because finishing up the rest of my cloak will be a breeze and only take a couple hours. Plus, that means that I'm really close to being able to do art again! As some of you might have noticed, I haven't been able to upload anything for around a week, save for Hell's Gate, which I work on during lunch and my spares at school. I sometimes do a bit of drawing at lunch instead of writing. But I can't work in art class, because I'm hard at work on the projects I need to finish. And I have no time at home because I'm spending most of my time on my cloak. But now I'll be able to stop and take a breather, and maybe work a little on my pieces for PearlEden and Kankakanka's contest, which I plan on entering. That is, if I have the will to leave Okami alone for a while. ^^'


Oh, yeah, my birthday! It was much fun! I got to work on my cloak for five or six hours (I hate sleeves... >.< They're so weird), but, it was relaxing, so no worries. We had a cake... A real cake! No icecream cake for me, no thank you! It was great, we had my bro and sis' uncle and aunt drop by, as well as my friend Erik. I got a Wii point card, a Naruto uncut box set, a small camera bag, money for Otafest (yay!), Okami (double yay!), and a digital camera (another double yay!). Though I knew some of that was coming... ^^' My bro asked what I wanted, I suggested getting Okami... Uncle John and Auntie Terry asked, and I said, maybe money for Otafest. My dad brought up the camera thing, saying, maybe he shouldn't, because I say I want money for Otafest. XD The Wii points and episodes uncut were a surprise, though, Erik gave me those. I'm quite happy. First birthday in a long time where I've gotten everything I've wanted (and then some!).

Expect me to take tons of photos at Otafest. I'll be posting them up, loads of 'em. My watchers, don't be surprised to be noted of twenty-or-something new deviations. XD

After Otafest, I might get my dad to take me out for some new art supplies... Though I still need to check what's in the art set I got from John and Terry for Christmas. ^^' Still, though, there's plenty I'd love to get. I'd like to be able to use watercolours, but I'm horrible for getting too much water. It's water not-colours when I try. XD I particularily want to try out watercolour pencils, all the results of using them I've seen are wondrous, and I think I might have tried them at some point in the past. Dunno. Maybe it was on some art show I saw. XP In any case, that's probably my top, because I love using pencil crayons, and that'd be even above Crayola's special pencils... What were they called...? Coloursolid or something? I can't really remember. XD I don't really care to remember, either. I'm not big on Crayola. Though I guess I'd use them... Depends what I'm using. XP There are also some special markers I want to try using (I can't remember what these were called either, seen some work with them and asked when I could, though).


Anyways, aside from my ongoing cheerful release of relief and list of things to try out and all that, there's not a whole lot going on. It's just that everything that is going on has a lot of bulk.

Well, with that, ja mata!
