Merry late Christmas!

I’ve been too busy/lazy/tired to really make rounds all over the place, so… sorry for being late on everything, guys. XD

My Christmas was great! I’ll tell you all about it in a minute. But I hope everyone was happy and safe for Christmas!! God bless the upcoming new year!

And I’m already more than halfway through my vacation!! TTATT;;; I don’t miss school! -flail- XD

Well, I’ll start with my “loot list”. XD

- A bunch of random money from a bunch of people (I was broke before Christmas, and now I have like $100+ OAO I’m hoping to go shopping and maybe get my mom and dad post-Christmas gifts of some kind, cuz I wanted to get them more. XD)
- Rozen Maiden manga 1, 2, (I already owned 3), 4, 5, and 6 (hurry up with 7 and 8, Tokyopop! And stop writing “SuigUintoh, it’s weird!!)
- Bottle Fairy artbook by Tokumi Yuiko
- Chocola Selection by Koge-Donbo (I had the 2006 one, this one’s 2005 :> )
- Rozen Maiden artbook (forgot what it’s called, it’s like Enn…rung… or something in German.)
- Some good-smelling lotion and spray XD
- A black hoodie with the PKO boys embroidered on it (it’s freakin cute <3)
- A black sweater and a blue sweater
- Some really cute loli-esque clothes :3

I’m really happy about everything I got! I love the artbooks most, though, I think… but my warm hoodie and all the manga are really nice too… a-and…

Well, I just love everything! XD

Two days before Christmas Eve, we went to my Aunt and Uncle’s house. It was fun, I played with their kids a little bit, they’ve gotten so big! Their son’s already walking! Grandma (on dad’s side) was also there.
Then we spent the evening at grandpa’s.
I think we also opened a gift early this day.

One day before Christmas Eve, we opened another gift each, and that was all dandy, but I got mysteriously nauseous and threw up before bedtime. I hate, hate, HATE throwing up SO BAD, so… that kinda wasn’t fun. But I felt better immediately afterwards, so I guess that’s better than feeling constantly nauseous.

On Christmas Eve, we decided to open the rest of our gifts since my dad had work on Christmas, and we went to church in the evening. It was hilarious, our youth pastor came out dressed as the Grinch and talked to all the little kids. Some were afraid of him xDDD We also went out to dinner, but since I was still a little cautious from throwing up, I played it safe and ate a salad ^^;

On Christmas Day, my grandparents on mom’s side came over as well as dad’s oldest sister and we had fun! It was nice to spend time with everyone.

All in all, it was a successful Christmas! XD I’m very sad I didn’t finish the art project I had planned to upload on Christmas day, but I think I’m just so wiped from school that I wasn’t in the mood to work with a deadline… ;;;;;; So I hope you’re all still in a Christmas mood when I eventually finish it. xD;

Anyway, I’ll put up a journal soon about New Year’s resolutions that I’ll no doubt forget all about in a while! Please have a nice year, everyone!

Also:
Cute little PKO song I just translated, since I’m still in the Christmas-y mood. n_n

“My Only True Wish”

Being able to have met you is certainly more important than anything else
I’ll do what I can to be next to you forever
I will be with you…

The clear, starry sky from a December street corner
I’m late, you warm my hand
Ah, you’re too ticklish, and so sweet
Hey, even though I’m awkward, I can convey myself today

I certainly uphold having been able to meet you more than anything else
I can’t really say it well, but I want to be the place you come home to

Words are not enough, and no matter how many times I get hurt
You say “You’re kind” with a smile even though I’m so disagreeable
Ah, maybe I was born to protect you
Hey, I embrace both our past and our future

I will certainly become stronger since I’ve met you
All I can say is that I’ll continue to think of you forever
My only true wish…

Believe in me
Without being afraid
And for eternity,
I can grant your wish

Being able to have met you is certainly an irreplaceable miracle, isn’t it?
I can’t really say it well, but I want to be the place you come home to

Being able to have met you is certainly, certainly more important than anything else
Forever, forever, being next to you is my everything, so
I will be with you…

Exclusive

Here is a special look at some art I wasn’t planning on letting anyone see until For Your Amusement’s official release. ^^

I recently updated FYA’s progress page!
Please take a look!

Ohhh no!

I keep not updating here! >A<;; ごめんごめんごめん〜〜〜ね！！

Right now, I just keep trying to make a decent plot for a CooPiyo doujinshi…
But in the meanwhile, here’s a mini-story:

Dancing!

I found a website at Koge-sensei’s blog that allows you to draw a person and watch him dance!

http://roxik.com/pictaps/?pid=a1015673
I did it for Gingerbread! Isn’t it sooo cute?! I love this website!!
I didn’t have enough room to write out his whole name, “Gingerbread”. Gbread is his nickname xD

Hauuu…

I apologize for the lack of updates… although I seriously doubt anyone reads these. Ha!

I’ve drawn a lot lately. You’d be better off going to my deviantART account than wading through a bunch of thumbnails here ^^;

I made some progress on my Rozen Maiden x Di Gi Charat parody, but! I’m not uploading any more progress for now! I want to keep everyone in suspense. XD Is there anyone who can convert .swf to .avi or .mov for me, I wonder…?

Well, I’m working on Coo’s character sheet for “For Your Amusement”. There’s just way too many things that need to be drawn! XD I wonder if I’ll really be able to finish this project by Spring…

At the rate I’m progressing…

…I doubt it ;A;

But I’ll work really hard for everyone!

KYAAA

It’s been a while since I journaled!!! So sorry!!! >A<;;; It’s been a bad month for me. I’ll catch up soon. Have a nice Thanksgiving, everyone!!!

Haauuu

I think I’m getting sick… or I’m just having an allergic reaction to something. I don’t feel well. I’m really tired, too.

Anyway, I drew a lot that I’ll put up soon.

Rozen Charat

http://thechaogarden.com/AnimeKittyCafe/rozen_charat.html

Haha, more parodies. I’m addicted to animation right now, it’s a lot of fun.

This is unfinished. But I thought it’d be fun to take the Rozen Maiden and stick some Di Gi Charat characters and elements in there. Granted, I’m being lazy with the details as usual, but bear with me.

I hope you enjoy seeing this. I’ll try to upload my progress every now and then, eventually (hopefully) leading up to a finished product!

Please feel free to ask questions. I’d love to answer them.

Just for reference, I’m doing this all in Flash 4.

And for anyone curious, Piyoko will be filling in Shinku’s role, Coo as Jun, Akari as Suiseiseki, Usada as Souseiseki, Puchiko as Hina Ichigo, Dejiko as Kanaria… and Rik and Ky will also make a brief appearance, but I’d like to keep it a surprise, although I think you can guess who they’ll be based on who’s left. (evil laugh)

ローゼンキャラット。。。ハハハ。

Azumaiden Daioh

Azumanga Daioh x Rozen Maiden parody. It’s really short, but it took a while to draw all of the frames, and even still, I cut a lot of corners XD Oh well.

It messes up a little bit on Suigintou… sorry. I also regret that I couldn’t include Barasuishou and Kirakishou.

あずまんが大王　x　ローゼンメイデン (「あずめいでん大王」) パロディです。

HAAAAA

S-someone uploaded my dance at Anime Expo…. º∆º;;;; I’m so embarrassed… I look so dumb. >x<;;

ダ、誰かが私の「アニメエックスポ」ダンスをアップロードしたんだ。。。º∆º；；　はずかしいです。。。私バカみたい。＞x＜；；

The song is “Neko Nyan Dance” by Harenchi Punch.
歌はハレンチパンチの「ねこにゃんダンス」。

ハアアアアア、はずかしい、はずかしい、はずかしい、はずかしい・・・
