AAAACK! I told Steve I’d draw Hogsmeade for him, didn’t I? Oh, nelly. I need to start writing notes to myself. ::attacks sketchbook::
WOO! I just went through my drawing folder in my desk, and I found that I have exactly one picture with Lupin and with Lily! Oh yeah, how much do I rock? Of course, they’re both horrid, but frankly, no one cares. And I also found a lot of my dad’s HP drawings. I have to scan those tomorrow at school; I love those things. We tend to draw a lot at the Macaroni Grill, and I remember this time when he asked me who to draw, and I said Snape. I thought his picture looked like Hitler, so he tried again. It pretty much matched my mental image of Filch. Then he has another that looks like something out of Charles Dickens. Tee hee, I love my daddy.
I was looking through the comments on my pathetic excuse for an Elfwood gallery and I came to a shocking realization: I have never drawn Lupin. Ok, so there was that one idiotic CG that should never have seen the light of day (oh god, this was complete junk. Erase it from your memories, kids), but other than that, nada. Zip. Squat. The poor guy needs some representation, right? Well, I know I’m working on a “Draco Sinister” Chapter 2 manga, so I’ll have to face our favourite werewolf some time or another. Ugh. Why is it so easy to draw Sirius, yet so imposible to draw Lupin? With Sirius, all you have to do is draw an incredibly hot guy and slap some long black hair, or draw a scary, angst-ridden guy with threadbare robes. Easy. Maybe that’s why my class notes are positively riddled with drawings of Sirius. Lupin has a whole different degree of… erm… I dunno. Lupin-ness. Now Tealin and Starling? They can draw Lupin! I don’t think Starling has any of her Lupin pics in her Elfwood gallery, but they’re all there in the Fan Art section of the Paradigm of Uncertainty egroup. ::sigh:: The girl seriously needs a website. I wonder if she’s considered it.
I wonder what happened to my old sketchbook. All the stuff in it was junk; I was just re-teaching myself how to draw, but I’m incredibly curious as to which other characters I’m neglecting. I don’t think I ever even drew Lily! I don’t quite think that colouring Tanja’s luvverly Valentines card quite counts as drawing her. Let’s see… I’ve done Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, James, Sirius, Peter, Percy, Malfoy, Hagrid, McGonagall, Lockhart, Cho, Dobby — HOLY COW! I don’t think I’ve ever done Snape! Fwah, I should be ashamed of myself. I’ve done a cornish pixie and I’ve never done Snape. ::sighs and resigns herself to drawing every single character ever mentioned in the series; wake me up in 17 years::
Hey… if I find my evil stupid sketchbook, do you want to see pictures? Should I set up a “junk” archive at The Nine Muses in addition to the stuff I actually like? Why don’t you comment?
Please let this work! I’m attempting to move my blog to my new homepage, The Nine Muses.net. Nothing it really up yet. Oh well. La la la….
In case you were curious about my sudden change in identity, it’s because I’ve decided to come clean. After 5 years of hiding behind the alias “Ellie Rosenthal”, I’m ready to come out with my real name. This blog was the second of several baby steps to get rid of my alterego. What fun!
We were playing the Cliff Game on RML, where you take three people and choose who you’d rather live with, sleep with, and throw off a cliff. I was the only person chosen more than twice to get thrown off a cliff. No one likes me. ::frowls::
College letters for today:
University of Texas at Arlington
Texas Luteran University (I’m not even a Lutheran!)
St. Agnes College for Girls (aaaahhh!)
NYU (rockin)
In P.E., we had to run 3 miles. I thought I was going to pass out and die horribly. I hate PE with the firey passion of a thousand suns. Now I just want to sleep…
I’m testing this to see if I can change me name on this thing. Whee!
AAAAAAAUUUUUURRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Cassie just posted chapter 13 of Draco Sinister. Why, why, WHY must she always end on a “mortal peril” cliffhanger? And it took her roughly a month to write DS13, so I’m terrified of how long DS14 will take! ::goes off to bang her head against the wall:: But I must say that I absolutely loved DS13. Her characterizations are perfect. I love how she writes the banter between Sirius and Remus. Draco is seriously getting on my nerves, though. He’s starting to fall from my sympathy. ::frowls and goes off to drool over Starling‘s DS fanart::
