“Gosh all tarnation!” said Lupin.
I love The Dialectizer…
I’m leaving you all for a week. Evil college visits. I’m sure you won’t miss me. Bye!
You know what bugs me? People that aren’t telepathic. Whenever I go around wearing a shirt advertising the JETS, about 50 people ask me if they’re my favourite team. No. I hate football. I’m just taking advantage of the merchandising because I’m a part of the Junior Engineering Technical Society (or JETS for short). And there are a LOT of these people that ask! AARG! Maybe that’s why I haven’t worn my JETS shirt in a while.
I think my dad’s having a midlife crisis. He was talking about all the strain he was going through to prepare for a marathon, and he said his next goal was to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. I told him there was a reason they called the mountain “Kill-a-man”jaro, but he still remained attached to the idea. Eventually I talked him out of it, but I can’t help but wonder what prompted this fit of insanity. I think he just came to the realization that March 28th is his 20th wedding anniversary, and he doesn’t feel young anymore. I think that’s stupid. He’s more active than practically all the dads in my grade, most of whom are younger than he is. ::sigh:: My dad is crazy. I love him, though. ::hugs dad::
Hey, kiddies! Time to do me a favour! Can you guys reccomend some nifty fiction books? Rock on. I have about 50 years worth of planes/car rides to tolerate over spring break (evil college visits! And I’m a sophomore!), and I won’t be able to live without a good book by my site. Thankees.
Oh, the thrill of the chase as I soar though the air
With the snitch up ahead and the wind in my hair
As I draw ever closer, the crowd gives a shout
But then comes a bludger and I am knocked out.
Woo! I got Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them today! Watch out, Wian! You’re getting updated!
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?
