I have returned

 I'm a horrible blogger. Its been a month. I am sorry. I have not even been very busy. Seriously. Okay Blogger is messing up big time so if something is mispelt I'm sorry, not my fault.
 The other day my mom asked me to find this paper for her. I was looking through my room and omygosh I found some school! If you know me pretty well then you can probably imagine my elation over this discovery. It's Old Testament Survey. I've been doing it the past few days and it's so good to feel sane again. I love routine and schedules and thats why I don't like summer. To much nothing.

     So yeah when Blogger wants to start acting sane again, I'll post more. I should probably DO more stuff too so I can blog about something other then school. :p I'm going to Chicago this month over my Birthday so that should be interesting. :)

 It's funny that I draw my favorite pictures whenever I'm not trying. I drew this one in the kitchen while I was waiting for dinner.

My brain is bleeding

 Ugh. Sorry. Its been awhile since I've posted. First, I've been busy. Second, Blogger was down, Third, I'm in a drawing slump. Plus I hate to bore you with these meaningless posts about reading and drawing. I don't do much. I would LIKE to tell you about Wednesday night, but as I said, I'm in a drawing slump and I can't draw. Well, not good. My art doesn't come naturally. I have to work really hard to make it look good. Every once in awhile for a week or two, I can't draw anything. So I take a break. In the meantime, I have this picture I drew a few months ago when I was working on my side profiles.

 Also I have bad allergies. Not fun. I feel so sick! :p

Imagination on the Loose! Bystanders Beware!

  I confess. I get carried away sometimes. Planning is my specialty, patience is my roadblock. I'm obsessing over things that won't happen until September! My Imagination has to be kept on a tight leash, otherwise I obsess and worry about things that I eventually get tired of thinking about. It drives me crazy and unfortunately today I am obsessing over something that might not even happen. I need a cookie or something to distract me......my sister made these really good cookies Saturday...they were lollipop cookies....yum. rainbows. :)

  My crazy cat, Kit, is a schemer just like me. This is what she does- the centerpiece on our table is a vase full of Hershy chocolate and two big flowers. Kit jumps on the table, fishes the chocolate out, and flicks it onto the ground for the dogs to eat. She does the same thing with pens, dog treats, and just about anything that you can put on a shelf. She's insanely cute though. Sigh. click on the pictures to enlarge them



 Also, Yesterday was Easter. Someone in the Youth Group dressed up as the Easter Bunny, but most people were just afraid of him.

The Magic of Reading

 Ah, books. What marvelous things! Your constant companion through boredom, your escape from homework, and your vacation from reality. Don't you love it when you finish a book, and the ending was so amazing, but you don't want to tell anyone, because you just want it to be between you and the book? I replay the scenes over and over in my head, and reread the funny parts, the saddest parts, the holding-your-breath-because-something-big-is-going-to-happen parts. Its alot better than movies, because movies end in 2 hours, and you hardly have time to get to know the characters. They seem so far away in that TV. But with books, you're right there in the action, the mystery, the drama! I might sound crazy but its because I've been reading alot! It's how I'll be spending most of my time, now that I don't have any school. :( I'm already bored, can you tell??



   Music is important, let's remember that!

My Favorite Characters Pt. 3-Final

 I decided this is my last Favorite Characters blog post. I could go on and on and on with my characters. They all hold special memories for me. Corie Malibu, the homeschooler. Sara McMessUp, the girl in the office who messes everything up. G'moe and Friends, my very first comic. All good friends. So It was hard to choose todays charcters. I am going to do more characters in the future-be sure of it. I have so many others I want to show you.
Today, I am honored to share with you Blix Pikle, the Chubby Cheese Kid, and Devlin Dirt. My dad made them up.

 Blix Pikle. 5th Grade Detective. The Chubby Cheese Kid, his best friend, is his assistant. Yes indeed, the halls of FriendlyBurg Elementary are safer now that Blix stepped in, solving the everyday mysteries that arise quite often at their cozy little school. You may be wondering to yourself, 'Who would dare commit wrongdoing if such a slick character such as Blix was around?' Well, that would be none other then Devlin Dirt, my friend. Devlin hates Blix Pikle, and loves causing trouble. With the never-ending battle between the two, theres never a dull moment at FriendlyBurg.

Elementary Indeed, my dear Watson.

 My Dad started to write 'Blix Pikle and the Case of the Stolen Pizzas' once, but alas it is still a work in progress. After many years of leaving Blix Pikle untouched, I unearthed the memories and drew the characters. When I did this, some startling discoveries were made, because we were so young when Dad told us about Blix, that a few major details were overlooked. 1, Blix is a human, NOT a pickle, and Chubby Cheese kid is not cheese. 2, Blix is in Elementary school. And 3. Blix isn't an astronaut. Wow. So even though I've known Blix my whole life, I never really knew who he was until about 7 months ago. O.O

My Favorite Characters Pt. 2

 Today, Drew and Xiana McGru. Drew and Xiana are cousins, living with their only breathing relative, their Grandma McGru. One day, all of a sudden, Grandma McGru goes missing. Where could she be? Well, there are a number of places, considering they live in the middle of a dark and dreary forest, filled with odd creatures. With no one else to take care of them, Drew and Xiana set out to find their Grandma, meeting with strange characters like Humlet the troll, and sinister ones, like Princess Jillian. This is the story I've always wanted to write, but I'm a horrible writer. Its sort of sad that my story will never be written. Unless someone else does it for me. Maybe I'll hire a ghostwriter.

 I also want to include a character I developed a week or so ago. This is just a rough draft drawing, but I'm really excited about it. His name is Traci. Traci is by far, the coolest kid in all of 9th grade. He's 14, the Junior Highers think he's the coolest thing since the Disney Channel, and even some of the sophomores admire him. But not only is the popular, he also gets away with being an evil genius. Secret lab in his own backyard? Check. A dorky 6th grader for an assistant? Check. An awesome leather lab coat? Check. Tons of adoring fans to compliment and test his latest creations? Double Check.  He's not your average cool kid, he's not your average geek, but he sure is Traci.

My Favorite Characters Pt. 1

 I want to introduce you to some of my favorite characters. I truly love these people, they are some of my dearest friends.

    Today, Cassander (Cassy) and Wynn Williams. They are twins, and princes. Wynn is perfect. He's studious, a natural leader, athletic, and has tons of friends. He's the oldest, so he will take over the throne of England when his father, King Luke II, dies. Cassy, on the other hand, just wants to play the banjo. He has been playing the banjo since he was 4 years old! His Uncle Mark taught him everything he knows, and was like a father to him, since King Luke II favors Wynn. Alas, Uncle Mark moved to Iceland. Cassy's only friend is a prince (from a neighboring country) named Aden. An evil witch cast a spell on Aden, and now he's a frog. Cassy let Aden live in the swamp behind the castle garden so they could talk to each other. Cassy and Wynn used to be really close, and play all the time. But when the boys started Junior High, Wynn stopped imagining and started working. "Fun isn't logical" he said. Gosh Wynn, lighten up! Cassy still likes to imagine and daydream, even though he's 13 now.
