Playing Devil May Cry 3, good times 8D

beat up the bat lady from mission 9.



Then the pump went off (goes off whenever we wash clothes) during the cutscene, and I had to beat it until it works again and doesn't flood the basement




policing: ahhhh ahah XD that is a fantastic vid, too
policing: ...although beat the pump sounds very, very dirty


lazer: and my hands smell
lazer: brbr washing them
policing: XD they smell from beating the pump to Dante's sexy rockstar debut?
lazer: ...yes
lazer: actually
lazer: that's right
policing: XDDD
lazer: why is that right.
policing: Dante has that affect, don't worry


Yes.

Yes he does.

I really don't feel like uploading these onto da, since they'd go straight to scraps. BUT UHM, I've been keeping an art journal of sorts! :> It really helps get your juices going too, I highly suggest it.

I'm already running out of pages though because it's an old book (early-middle highschool askdjh) and I was QUEEN OF WASTED SPACE. Now I use both sides of pages and clutter things up a bit. I think I have like 4 pages left to use up before dragging myself to somewhere cheap and buying a new, smaller one.

Eehhh, I'll just show some of the ones that don't have a lot of personal, uninteresting writing on it. There's a couple more than I thought, so I'll just show more lateeerr

Maybe I'll clean and color a few to submit.






( 5 pages )

Yeah okay so, I switched up layouts, nothing fancy :> I'm trying to decide between making everything greyscale or keeping my retarded colors I'm kind of attached to. Maybe I should darken the blues. Suggestions?

OKAY, I said I'd whip out photos of my grandparents house, and so here they are. The lighting isn't stellar in the back of the house, but the front is pretty well lit- so that's what you'll get :>>
Just keep in mind this is only half of the place, and the other half is just as trashed. :C

BEFORE THE PHOTOS THOUGH, A BACKSTORY.
My grandparents live in Georgia in the middle of nowhere. They do not have neighbors. Instead, they have woods, a shooting range in their back yard, and a tin barn a couple hundred feet from the foot of their driveway filled with stored goods/crap. Oh, and Daisy [Duke], their adorable dog <3
Their house from the outside is gorgeous; it's huge and has stone siding around the whole thing. My grandmother used to keep flowers outside, but now it's littered with collected brik-a-brak around the edges.
If my Oma (grandmother) was broken in any way, I could expect this kind of thing. But instead, she is the most energetic old person I know.

The place hasn't been vacuumed in ages I'm positive, because I myself can't actually remember a time she's ever vacuumed while I spend my summers there when I was little, I think. I was forbidden to walk around without shoes or socks by my mother, who was afraid we would step in small rodent feces. Normally I'd say she was being silly, but I remember that she DID step on a dead mouse last time we were there, a couple years ago. Only to be comforted with "Oh so THAT'S where it went!"

brrrr

( 6 photos in here )

DON'T GET ME WRONG, I love them, and I love Georgia. But wtf how can you let something get that bad?



IN OTHER NEWS, thinking about splitting an art table for Katsucon! :D I think it could be fun! For shits and giggles anyway, since katsucon is so small.

I know how I could've stood it some million years ago, when I would come here by myself for the whole summer, every year.

But that was before

THIS PLACE TURNED INTO A DUMPSTER HOUSE.

oh my god, I am not kidding. There is trash everywhere-- like fucking old newspapers that are years old lying around in heaps. Expect pictures when I get back, typing is not enough to explain what has happened to this house. And it's filthy oh god it's so filthy. I need to take a picture of the huge collection of spiderwebs on the other side of the bed. oh god oh god oh god

fffffff, I love it here, but I hate this housseeee

I had a sudden memory relapse of how cool my great uncle is. He's into firearms, and holy shit he's got some awesome guns. I fired most of them, and have some pretty wicked bruises to show 8D

goddamnit a bug flew in my eye

not just that, but he's proactive. As sad at that sounds, proactivity isn't very common around here. Sure the guys go shooting, but this guy goes out and helps build a Wild West town for the cowboy reenactment club he's in. They get scores on how well they hit targets, and obviously the style they use to hit them. It's so ridiculously cool. We made our own ammo, and we fired black powder bullets (which make a hell of a lot of smoke lololol)
All this was happening on a horse range, so we managed to get a horse ride out of the morning as well C: One of the girls there was real sweet, but two of the other girls were giving me nasty looks because I was riding in sandals ahahaha


Later that day we went on a 3-hour dinner boat ride that was pretty dang boring. I got to recite my lifes ambitions at least 10 times to relatives I haven't seen in ages, but hopefully the old people had fun.

Today was the actual festivities, which proved to be even MORE boring, since it was a bunch of people I had never seen before, and there wasn't any real food around. And I hate pictures. Fuck you, I hate pictures. Stop taking pictures of me. >:C

Howell took me out later to the art district in uhm.. I think it was still Chattanooga but I'm not 100%. It's so nice, I really love the architecture around there. We went for some sweets and drinks at some little cafe, and ohhhh, it gave such a nice feeling in the area. Black metal fences around the outside area, and lots of greenery to compliment it. I could've lived without some of the abstract art, but the metal sculptures were wild.


That's all I can think of for now, lulz, my sister just showed me her trophy bullet my great uncle made her. I gotta see if he made one for me :00

I think we're leaving tomorrow, we'll be home either tuesday or wednesday. <3

I EXPECT FULL OTAKON REPORTS FROM ALL OF YOU. >:C

brb playing duck hunt and METAL GEAR SOLID (NES-STYLE.)

Tomorrow begins the third leg of the trip-- I'll review what we've accomplished so far. :>

Gone to grandparents house in Northern VA for bdays, cousin is still really weird and creeps the shit out of me

Traveled to Williamsburg later the same day, went into the colonial town. Not much to do, mostly interesting for history buffs.

Went to hotel, next day went to Busch Gardens and had hella fun 8D 8D 8D Got three prizes, my mom won me two of them ;n ; MonkeyxFrog bffs. We even managed to ride all the rides. /o/!
Found out the hotel had free wi-fi, much happiness was had. I hacked and killed my ipod touch two times (the second time scared me, since it wasn't going back into restore mode, and hacking it voids the warranty) I got it right the third time, and installed a program to prevent that from happening again. Now I've got backgrounds and kicking icons, fuck yeah. I just lost my music 8D;;

Third day went to Water Country USA, wasn't as awesome as I expected it to be. D: There were so many people there. The rides were cool, but not 45-minutes-in-line-waiting-behind-the-fat-guy cool. i think the best part was the Hubba Hubba Highway, which was just a current for you to drift on casually. But even that was crowded asdskjh


Tomorrow is the trip to Georgia, and almost guaranteed loss of wifi :<<<<< boring trip a go-go.

I just need to log this, because I'll forget--



Get a website for hosting art
call it brikabrak.



okay, I'm set. Next would be to find a place that'll host.

this place has free wifi


I want to kick my family out and stay here forever
They are the biggest set of grumpypants on these trips EVER

Hay

hay guise

guess where I am



That's right, on the COUCH.

LONGER NETWORK CABLE HOOOOO INCREASED RADIUS /o/




damnit I want wireless. >:C

BEHOLD, THE NEW MONKEY DISEASE.



No cut for you. >:[

I refuse to believe I killed everyone though, there was still a little boat sailing around aimlessly the entire second half of the pandemic because he couldn't DOCK ANYWHERE.
Actually no Greenland was open but he didn't want to go to fucking Greenland what are you nuts.

Play this game. It is awesome.

AND YESSSSS IT IS OFFICIAL.

THE DAY I TURN 21 IS THE DAY THE WORLD ENDS.
