Sorry that I disappeared for a while. I'll be getting to comments, messages, etc, in a bit, but I've got a lot going on. For example: drawing class, CADD class, work, a possible second job, figuring out my resume to find a third and possibly final job, studying and reviewing for the GRE (like the ACT, only bigger, badder, costlier, and for grad school), and oh yeah, I've found manga. So, manga, school, work, and life.

But I got a short fan fic for you guys! It'll be up once you finish reading my journal!

And for those who were wondering, yes, I'm finally over my cold. Only took me a month and a half...

So, I gots a lot of people to feature this time! Here's how it works: first ten people who comment on this journal will get three works featured here! I got featured in 's journal, so now it's my turn (by the way, , sorry this took so long).

[link] -Has been revised over and over, and it's amazing.
[link] -Don't read the title and then see how you understand it.
[link] -*insert garbled astonishment here*
[link] -new stuff, and look, she proves once again how she's the crackship queen! I love it!
Check these out! They are all original works that display 's response to challenges and practice. If this is practice, I need to work on my final stuff... So, comment here, then go check out her stuff!

So, I was busy and going crazy. In a period of 96 hours, I slept 20 of those. It was crazy. But I'm back. Sorta. Until my next project... And there are still 8 open spots! I'm going to start filling them myself just to get a new journal!!

Number one:
[link] Piece of poetry that plays on rhythm and repetition.
[link] Yay CD cover art!

Number two:
[link]
-Poetry written almost like a song that uses repetition to impress an idea. I think it's nice.
[link]
-An abstract drawing focusing on words and dark vs light to emphasize the point. I like this one a lot.


And here's the next thing: a new sorta tagging.
Dear :

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our horoscope doesn't match. I think I realized it when I saw the shrunken head outside of Chicago and I saw you carve your initials into the crazy monk. I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand that Santa doesn't exist. I'm returning cut toenails to you, but I'll keep your neighbor Martin as a memory. You should also know that I never openly mocked the apartment building.

Greetings to your freaky family,
Kicksngiggles

So, I was sick. Horribly sick. For three weeks. In the midst of that, I had homework and two jobs. Yay. So I've been disappearing.

Oh my goodness gracious! Over one thousand page views! Thanks so much to everyone! I guess I'll have to go dig some stuff out to say thanks... What would you guys like? Maybe I could come up with something new...

Eventually. Hopefully...

Just so that you all know why I'm not here for forever. I mean, I'm working on line, and then there's my new second job, but I won't be writing or doing anything else for a while. All my extra time is spent converting one of my handwritten novelas into an electronic copy so that I can freely edit. It's gonna be a long process before I start contacting agents. We'll see how THAT goes...

But from previous experience, I know that I need writing the more that I have to do, so I'll probably scribble as I go. But who knows when stuff will go up. I'll try to reply to stuff asap.

Meh. I'm just bored at the moment.
