So, not that I update very often on here, but from now on, if I do any writing that isn't comic script, it'll go here: 70percenteffort

Yeah, so, I actually wrote a second chapter to a Kuroshitsuji (shuttup, I like it) fanfic today. It's vague and presumptuous and I don't care. You can read it here.

Convo with a friend last night:

lol, this portfolio is such BS.
The picture I used for diversity?
Multi-colored baby chicks.
Hallmark would weep

Frankie says: (10:16:36 PM)
or gag

Schumie says: (10:17:05 PM)
Hallmark doesn't gag. It pulls away, discreetly swallows, and dabs a hanky at its mouth.


......Yeah. So that's what I've been up to. How are you guys?

Yo! It's been a while! I've been traveling and (trying to) relax this summer before I hit a super cramped semester. Good news though...

1. I've started writing as a blogger for Currentanime.com, which is a brand new anime/manga news and review blog. Go check it out. ^^ I figured, any type of writing is good for me right now. I really need motivation and honing, and what motivates me more than anime and manga? Possibly food, but maybe not.

2. I don't know if this is supposed to be super-secret, but since Nuu has posted sketches, I'm guessing not. So! SUPER GOOD NEWS, i'm working with Nuu again on another comic (which is really actually going somewhere in comparison to our other insanely-complicated stories) and we're gonna try to go big time with it. It's a retelling of a Russian fairy tale (key part RE-telling) and it's a lot of fun. That's all I'm gonna say for now. Head over to her livejournal, steam_pilot  and look for sketches of Ivan to see some art.

Anywho, I hope you're all having an awesome summer!

The only mass writing I've done in the last year is in script format for comics me and steam_pilot were working on, so that's all I've got. I have a completely separate LJ that I used to use for writing, 70percenteffort but it's older stuff and mostly just for my convenience. So I thought I'd share a little bit of how I write scripts.

If anyone still reads this....This is a bl story idea about a punk-ass kid and an older man, and it's just started, but I like the idea.
For reference:
[  ] = narrative boxes
( ) = character thoughts at the time

Anyways, other than that, no news. Finals are done (rocks) and I'm moving out of my apartment (sucks).

It's been a long time and I'm fairly sure no one reads this, but it's necessary right now.

First off, good news. Baby brother was born on Friday, the 13th (awesome). His name is Alexander and he's a big baby. Ba-boom baby. I now have four half-siblings at or under the age of five, and an 8-yearr-old stepsister. Life is always unexpected.

Bad news: Most importantly, I seem to be really pissing people off lately, by saying things jokingly which, I suppose, they don't take as jokes. I guess I need to be more careful. Especially if I'm not saying it in the spoken word....interpretation is too open in written word. Or maybe I need to fix my human-interaction skills. I've gotten too used to constantly poking fun at people.

Because god knows I need the lie right now, have this wonderful song. La Vie en Rose.

I think I'll go read Sugar Milk. It's the only thing that makes me happy no matter what.

So, not that anyone cares, but I've hit up two concerts in the last three days at our county fair.

1. John Mayer- Sure, he has a nice voice, but one thing I learned that night was.....BOY CAN PLAY GUITAR LIKE NO TOMORROW.
I don't ever want to hear "Your Body Is a Wonderland Again" because it's just an offense to his amazingness.

2. Stone Temple Pilots. STP does one thing and does it well: ROCK. Also, am in love with the bass guitarist.
Their opening act wasn't bad, either.

Hopefully, I'll manage tickets for Matchbox 20 on Monday. Not super psyched, but I think it'd be a fun show.

So, since I watch so much anime and read so much manga, my friend insisted that I start a MyAnimeList. Of course, I was too ashamed to put all of the yaoi I've read or seen (plus I can't even remember half of it) and am also ashamed of how much naruto I've read/seen. Thus, my "hours" of anime and manga are reduced GREATLY.

Anyways, here's my half-assed list, cuz I got too tired half part way through.
MyAnimeList

50 bucks says I'll forget about it by the end of the week.

....and Haruka Minami

Please do not read the following conversation if you do not like making fun of the type of boy that pretends to be a girl with a slighty-larger-than-normal-clitoris. In comic form.



In other news, Anime Boston was loads of fun, but I don't want any of you losers knowing what I look like, so NO PICTURES.
Oh, and I decided randomly the other day to stay in school an extra year and get my teaching credential. We'll see how that goes. One per,, I got to go to a Child Grabbing Seminar. Ok, I lied.  I learned how to get away with it  report child grabbing. For two and a half hours. The seminar, not the grabbing.

Oh, I also found THIS from an old msn convo and thought it was funny for some reason. >>

Er, nothing else. >>

So...yeah, I'm going to Anime Boston with a bunch of friends and just found out tonight that the pillows are playing and I had to ask my friend four times to make sure she wasn't lying. I was ready to punch her if she was. Anywho, I'm going as Raidou Kuzunoha from Devil Summoner, so say hi if you see me.

Also, random shot of my desk office.

oh yeah, Happy V-day y'all.

 Yeah, so I'm headed to Anime Boston in March. If you're up for a good time, leave me a comment and maybe we can chillax, yo.

....I'm sorry. I didn't hear that. I was busy making Super Awesome Food Of Life. Thas' right, not only did I make instant-orgasm coffee today, but I also made chicken stir fry and fried rice that would guarantee immediate entrance to heaven. HOYEAH BITCHES.

Ahem. School is going to be tiresome this semester. An arse-load of reading. What starts it off? Austen and Conrad. And Metaphysical stuff. And short stories. Well, can't say that I haven't been meaning to read Emma, I guess. I'd much rather hang around and do nothing, though, like these guys are so bad-ass at!! (in case you haven't seen it).

Also, who else but the Japanese could make a cartoon staring "Dogtato"?

Also, looking for two songs. "You're Not you" by The Good Life and "Glory Box" by Portishead, 'cuz my school network won't allow any P2P. :_(

That's right. The online comic steam_pilot and I have been working on has it's own site now! http:www.honeysyn.net  Jubilations! Why hasn't there been a site yet? Because we're lazy and it's noneofyourdamnedbusiness.  Warning: while many people have unwittingly fallen in love with HoneySyn, it contains male/male relationships, or the forming thereof. Please be advised so that you may study each page carefully. Btw, the story has nothing to do with honeydews. Everyone has their own syndromes though.
Also, a new comic we are working on, for now called ME, is going to be serialized in http://www.dqrush.com/
So, when people ask you what your friends are doing for the summer, you may tell them that one of your special friends is leaping boundaries and letting creativity flow in, no, not boy porn, boy love!

I think I've seriously freaked out some people now.

So, here to rant a bit and enlighten you. I've got this guy. Actually, I've had this guy for more than three years now, and he's a great guy. Sensitive, cute, fairly good taste in music, and doesn't mind that I like reading boy porn. He puts up with a lot of shit from me. But what he doesn't realize is that I put up with a lot of shit from him. But, anyway, that's a different story and probably one that would torture you even more. Remember, suicide is proven 100% effective as birth control. Anywho, I have this thing about wasting words. If I understand what your'e saying, I don't want you to keep saying it. And my darling, loving, amazing guy does just that. If I interrupt him and say "Yeah, I understand" or "I get it" he thinks I'm ignoring him and being rude, while, him insisting on continuing to explain makes me feel as if he sees me as stupid. The truth is, I can't stand listening to repetition. It irks me to the very core of my being. Unless it's Sayonara Universe by The Pillows. I've listened to it five times today. -_-

AHEM.

Ok, if you've read this far, you deserve some good treatin'. So, enjoy yourself and be enlightened.

Lesson 1: Christianity is still alive.

Lesson 2: The Last Unicorn, Long Island accents, and Crack Cocaine do not mix.

Oh, also, The fabulous steam_pilot pointed out this to me. http://www.atlus.com/persona3/ It's here! Atlus is kicking ass with it's games lately. I want it! Now! *goes to sell body on 9th street*

That's all I have to say about the world.

....I'm going to give you what I'm made of. That is, useless shit you don't need to know.
