Hodgepodge

Buahaha, because I haven't posted in soooo long, and I am mentally being forced to by a certain Pollyninja, I'll just give a whole jumble of things for you all to read (that is if you read it at all ;) ).

Okay, first, ummmm.... Deviantart is awesome!!! There are some really talented people out there, who own computers, and sometimes tablets and photoshop... sigh. I might end up joining if I have the time, and actually regularly draw larger projects so I can get better- I need to decide on a style or something. By the way, the sigh was because digital art looks really fun, but I have none of the materials necessary to try it :( but it also looks difficult and would take a lot of practice, so I can't exactly go over to my friend's house (one who has said materials) and just sit and draw for hours. That wouldn't be very nice. But anyways, for those of you readers/skimmers who actually go to deviantart.com, go to my friend's page: http://www.nuzai.deviantart.com/ She's a really excellent creative writer, at least in my opinion, albeit a bit emo at times in her poems/stories, and a great person (I've known her since kindergarden, when I first moved here). And Pollyninja knows her too from online, isn't it strange how these coincidences occur?

What next...? Oh! Props to all my buddies, well I'm including everyone, who went and made it to finals in state of NHD !! As of now this is the news I have recieved, so I may be a bit behind the announcements, but still...
I'm pretty much blathering on about now, just trying to make this a decent-sized post.... Umm, I found a really good (funny, creative) tv show not too long ago- Dead Like Me. It has regular swearing, so you can't be afraid of the f-bomb ;) but it provides a really interesting plotline of what happens after death. It's all about this girl, Georgia (George) Lass, who gets killed by a fiery toilet seat reentering the earth from a Russian space station (I think) that explodes, and so she becomes a grim reaper and takes peoples souls before death, making sure they get to their final resting place.

From left to right in the picture are the reapers Daisy (she's an attention-loving actress who supposedly had 'relationships' with a bunch of old film stars), Roxy (she's a strong-willed/sassy parking attendant), Rube (this group of reapers' boss, essentially, who writes the to-be-dead's initials and estimated time of death on post-it notes that he gives to the reapers), George (she's the main character, an 18-year-old girl and new grim reaper), and Mason (he's British and a bad-boy of sorts, a drug/alcohol addict). As you can probably tell, I really like this series, so sorry for blathering on about it too much :)

Great Quotes (that I can remember):
Rube: (when asked if he really cares about George) "Sure, you make my face look like this and concerned words come out"
Mason: "I've got illegals in my bottom"
George: "Life sucks, and then you die. And then it still sucks."
Mason: "I'm so smart I'm practically retarded!"

And so now I'll wrap this up, this post is just a bunch of writing. But first, Neil Patrick Harris is a really great actor, I love Dr. Horrible!! He was even on Sesame Street as a shoe fairy, pretty hilarious and insane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLBUkf1te9A
