NEW THING, mini-rant, a doodle, some nonsense, the newest chapter of some longass fanfiction (it surpassed 50k words), and hamster pictures for not updating in a while. X_o

Hey look! A REASON TO GET A DS!


Yosh, I like Megaman (Or Rockman, which actually sounds better personally) much better than other games like Pokemon or Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts or some shiz. (The shooting spirit in me will NEVER DIE! RAWR!) That or I'm a sucker for power ranger/Sailor Moon-like transformations, such as Digimon Frontier. XD The plot is actually quite....generic. (Well NOT really, but it seems so in that trailer, it's actually quite complicated)

And the kids do not matter, that awesome bishie blonde sempai guy with the glasses (and then the visor) isth AWESOME! Too bad he dies, oh well. (granted I should actually have a trailer of the actual gameplay instead of some anime-like thing but then you wouldn't witness the awesome coolness of Giro! [The blonde dude])

Here's a mini-rant!

People DO draw me things, I will acknowledge that.
However, people don't exactly finish my requests, which is rather different.
Maybe my ideas to be seen in a picture isn't fun for them to draw.
And they would rather use their own imagination.

So WHY OH WHY DO THEY FINISH REQUESTS FOR OTHER PEOPLE SO FAST, BUT NOT I?

Is it because my requests are not only a hassle, but pretty hard to do? I don't really think so...
I mean if someone requests something from ME, which is rare, I usually just finish on the spot. (Granted I don't colour anymore, but still)
It's been eight months for one, four for another. The last is only say a few weeks, and despite their workload, can actually finish some requests faster than the other two.
And it's not like I request ALL THE TIME, in fact I only do it because they somehow insist they have to pay me back for something, so I give them some random description for them to draw.
Well if you really have no time at all or no will to do said requests, don't bother paying me back, then.
Because otherwise, I don't really request, at all.
And perhaps this is the reason why.

And sometimes their requests are overdue so much that I might have moved onto another fandom by the time they finish, and end up drawing something I no longer want.
It is an annoying thing...

I DREW STUFF! Because lately I've been Soldat'ing with many ridiculous bots, I ended up drawing Kazumi in some kind of army gear. (but not too much or she'll look fatter than she is, which is not really attractive, ALSO because she actually does look "thicker" than she really is in her school uniform already, what with cameras, camcorders, notebooks, pencils, and other random devices on her)



Yeah, I still very much suck at drawing though. >>

Please ignore the random lines all over her. Pretend she just walked through a rose bush or something, xD. Or that she angered Ako or something so she was attacked by several syringes. Also I gave her a hat, not a helmet. In Soldat you either have a helmet, hat, or nothing, but in actual war it's either a helmet or nothing, I doubt a hat can really protect people, but whatever, Kazumi wears a hat to war. I like to think that if you wear nothing, you're a really good soldier, but if you wear a helmet, you're a beginner and need more protection, and you don't have the agility of a person without one. Perhaps a hat is midway, maybe the hat protects part of the head, the most important part? In that case Ako also wears a hat, Sayo wears a helmet, and Yuuna obviously nothing. (You can understand Sayo's part more in the last statement I have before the link to teh story! XP)

Next time I'll probably draw Yuuna in army gear or something about her with war. (MUCH more appropriate with her, though Asakura could be like a spy or some intelligence raider thing...something...no...?)

Yes, EVERYONE HAS DONE THIS TEST.
But I haven't stuck it in an LJ post yet, xD.
And because it's picture is screwing up the entry, I'll just write it down in NEAT HAPPY TEXT.

"I'm a Ravenclaw!"

Yosh, Harry Potter, blahs. I was actually sorting the Negima people in the groups too, the important people are that Sayo is definitely a Hufflepuff, Yuuna a Gryffindor, Ako is hard, so I just threw her in Ravenclaw, oh wells, and Kazumi is absolutely guaranteed a Slytherin. Rawr. Otherwise, I do not like Harry Potter, XD.

In other NEWS, DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO WRITE LONG ENTRIES IT GETS REALLY LAGGY!? IT'S SO VERY ANNOYING! OH YES, and here is a random screenshot from my game and my story behind it:


After playing several games, watching the horrible AI of the bots, such as Kazumi running towards 10 enemies by herself when we already have the flag, so she basically did it for absolutely no reason, and obviously was killed. Or several bots, most particular Yuuna in some maps can't seem to jump onto the ledge the flag is on and yet use up all their jet (but they never actually JUMP) trying to. By far the funniest of all pathetic games was the screenshot above.

Twenty bots in a small map, me with my favourite characters versus some tough opponents. (Naturally Mana is good in a shooting game, lol) The bots had severe stupidity in terms of scoring, since I hate scoring I often throw the flag at a bot to do it, and if they're on the ground in front of the ledge, they will spend quite a large amount of time trying to jump ONTO the ledge. Not only that but all the other bots suddenly get the mentality that THEY HAVE TO PROTECT THE ONE WITH THE FLAG OMGZ, so instead of keeping red team from invading our base, they hang around like druggies and a drug dealer with the flag carrier.

Naturally the 10 enemy bots of red will all storm in at once, and at a struggle to keep them back since we're all packed in a small map, LOTS OF TEAMKILLING. When you throw a grenade and you're standing INCREDIBLY close to five other bots, ALL THE BOTS WILL EXPLODE FROM THE GRENADE AND DIE. Then the flag flies around and the red try to retrieve their own flag, but because there are so many of them there and bullets are flying all over the place, THEY ALSO DIE. So there was quite a while where the flags were just sitting there being blown around while everybody around them die, or if they managed to grab the flag, die right after touching it.

So after that game I've learned to never play with so many bots in that particular map. Since the spawn point is so cramp, once you spawn and then suddenly see an enemy, you throw a grenade but all your buddies are right next to you. You end up kamikazing your own teammates. If you would like to know, ALL THE kills and deaths and suicides (well suicides don't really count) that are currently on the right side of said screenshot, THEY ARE ALL TEAMKILLS besides Nodoka killing me. Thankfully I managed to grab the flag and throw it to the only bot alive at the time, Chisame, and after dying the bot managed to score to win the game.

(The only reason we won by such a large margin was that the red kept killing each other when we went to grab their flag, but they did have a lot more kills than us, XD)

And yes, Sayo only had four kills. *cough*

YOSH! I FINALLY FINISHED THE NEXT CHAPTER! The second half isn't too funny, but bare with me, whenever I try to advance the plot the humour mysteriously disappears. xD


And finally in the end I have some random hamster pictures to show to the WORLD!

Asako is ADORABLE here, srsly. Wow. And yes most of his pictures are sleeping pictures, Asako is always too fast to get a decent photo, unlike the camera hog Otter.

This picture has some pretty good quality. When the box I stick in the bin starts to make the place really smell, I throw it away and temporarily replace it with the ball until I get a new one.

Which enables awesome photos like these, XP

Otter in the broken wheel, which has now become just a random toy.

Another good quality picture of Otter taking a nap (and being woken up) on his living bed.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
OMGZ I FINALLY CAUGHT ONE OF THEM RUNNING ON THE WHEEL! (Usually hard to get a picture, they do it only briefly at night time) Lately Otter's been much more active than Asako, who got much lazier, though strangely enough Asako still moves the fastest when I hold him and Otter. So he's harder to hold.

A TRUE BALL OF FLUFF!

Not entirely original, but getting a good picture of Asako is hard, so original enough, ne?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Usually a sign of respect among hamsters (or so I've heard) is when they groom each other. Asako is grooming Otter, 8D.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Here's a real good shot of Asako, upside-down in the picture, but you can really see his mottled patterns on his back and face!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Yes, I put them in the bathtub. Don't worry, the tub was mostly dry, I tried to get rid of the small puddles with a towel but some mysteriously did not dry off, but the hamsters didn't get wet (besides their feet).

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
I am very proud of this photo. Not only is it NOT blurry, but it's of BOTH the hamsters in ONE picture in a place you don't usually see a hamster! That is just AWESOME!

Anyway, YES FINALLY THAT IS ALL. All this makes up for lack of updates in the last six days (okay that isn't too long, but whatever, xD)

Buhbai for NAO! XP. I WANT KAZUMISAYO!
