o, the serpent doth slither...

Feeling love-y and obsess-y! ♥♥♥GALORE!♥♥♥
Listening to "Reise In Die Unendlichkeit" - Mechanical Horizon
Currently addicted to Lucy, blood, simplicity, black, white, Lucy, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (and on that note, John Uskglass), Mary Reilly (movie version, but the book is teh shit too), astronomy, cheap ballpoint pen sketches of Sorin, Eiryun's long legs (or just his boots, really XD)...and more Lucy. <3
Currently irritated by not being able to see the stars at night because of the fog, which is irritating because I'm supposed to love fog, and I do. I'm so torn. snf.
Current MSN details: God knows, I haven't been on in ages. ;o;
Today's Cards: Page of Pentacles

Remember me? No? Neither do I, don't worry about it. XD
Check this shite out, I love him I love him I LOVE HIM OHMAHGAWD LUCY. <3

I have no clue what got me into this horrid obsession with my own character (like it doesn't happen often, hahaha). I had just finished drawing a Kouyu Shurei (Alichino) style Eiryun for the Shurei-Club contest on dA and was kind of frustrated afterwards when I was practicing her eye style. 'Reise In Die Unendlichkeit' decided to come on at that moment and I angrily scribbled out some very goth-looking sketch and I fell in love with it. [laughs] I guess it can't be goth if it's actually good, though. WAHA! There was only one person it could be, though I wasn't conscious of who that was when I was drawing it (I was spaced out while I did this). It had to be Lucy because I'd drawn a shadow behind him with horns on it, and I'd given him faint sketchy ponytails. x3

So yeah, I scanned it, went over it cleanly in Photoshop (I've been fucking around in PS a lot because simple black-white images are easier to do there), and that up there is what's come out of it so far. No, I'm not done yet, and his face still needs a bit of working on. Not to mention he's like, five times bigger than that in reality (oy, resize!). >.x

As for the bad text, I'm quite sorry. XD I was working on the wallpaper version at midnight while I was doped up on migraine meds (which didn't work too well until later), and that was the best I could think of. But it suits him well, with the serpent crap and the badly-executed obsolete English. Sorry. [laughs] I like it, for some reason. It just fits him really well. Yey. n,n d

Okay, enough of my Lucy-obsession and onto...duh duh duh! JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL! I'm almost equally obsessed--no, no I'm not. My Lucy obsession surpasses this book about three thousand times. [laughs] But it's still damn good and I fall more in love with it the more I read. Yesterday and the day before I read through about...almost one third of it, which is excellent progress, wheeee. Now I'm on Volume Three and I'm dying to read it because this third is entitled John Uskglass and gawd, I'm in love with him. Surprise. XD He's not even a tangible character in the book but from everything mentioned of him, I'm sitting there like, 'Mmmm sexellently magical Raven King.' [laughs]

I think I'm a Strangite. Norrell is a bastard and I kind of hope he dies before the book ends. [laughs evilly] Strange is sooooo much awesomer. I'm in love with him too. XDDD No, everyone, I am not in love with him because he's pretty, because it's plainly stated that he's not. [laughs] He's just that great. He's more open to magic and thinks the Raven King is an important aspect of magic, while Norrell's just some cranky, stingy old bag who hates my lovely Raven King. XD

Fuck you, Mr Norrell! If you don't redeem yourself by the time the book ends, I'll hate you for all eternity!

...ahaha. xD
Oh, and p.s. Stephen Black is also an awesome character. YEY I love this book. <3

Ah, I just noticed I haven't mentioned anything about school. Umm, it's not bad at all. I just go twice a week, four classes, that's all. The only thing that really sucks is the long break I have between history and CCS. My history class gets out at 1345 (and most of the time, way earlier) and speech class starts at 1530. Sucks. -.- I have a sort-of long break before history as well, but my brother and I usually just eat lunch during that time, so it's not as bad. Waaaa! Sometimes having no friends does suck because everything is so boring. I've just been taking up that long break with reading but I don't know what I'll do once I'm done with Jonathan Strange. ;-;

As for CCS (the Chicano Studies Speech class my brother accidentally and irreversably put me in), I'm actually liking it a lot. The instructor makes everything a lot of fun, and the Chicano thing is really downplayed. Our next speech doesn't even have anything to do with that whole subject, even. I think I'll do mine on Tarot, swoooosh. XD It's a really easy class, too...unlike the other speech classes, we just have to get up and do our presentations (in a really comfortable environment...no one's uptight at all) and we don't have to do speech outlines or whatever. It's great. ^^ [points and laughs at regular speech classes, as they meet thrice a week and have to do notes and shite]

Now I am done. [waves fan]
