Read *pedal 's journal. It sums up one of my pet peeves perfectly.

Tagged.

Here are the rules:
* Choose a singer/band/group.
* Answer using ONLY titles of songs by that singer/band/group.
* Tag 6 more people.

I pick REM.

1. Are you male or female?
"The Wrong Child"

2. Describe yourself.
"Star Me Kitten"

3. What do you feel around people?
"World Leader Pretend"

4. How would you describe your previous relationship?
"Orange Crush"

5. Describe your current relationship.
"It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)"

6. Where would you want to be now?
"Find the River"

7. How do you feel about love?
"Sweetness Follows"

8. What's your life like?
"Shiny Happy People" and "Ignoreland" at different times

9. What would you ask for if you had only one wish?
"The Great Beyond"

10. Say something wise.
"Everybody Hurts"

:B They have weird titles, but I love them anyway. I don't mean number nine in a suicidal way, I mean I'd like to know that it exists. I'm a skeptical agnostic, so sometimes it's hard to feel a connection to the universe or whatever's out there.

O U GAIS. I have the cause now to rage again!

New Rules:

1. I believe I once posted a new rule regarding the joys of correctly drawn anatomy and how people who can't draw the human body should not draw nudes or something like that. Well, here's part two of that rant: don't draw nudes with clothing that is impossible. How is a girl with enormous melons who is wearing a size A brassiere somehow sexy? It looks uncomfortable! It would HURT. Would a guy wear undies ten sizes too tight? I think NOT. This bra is going to fly off and hit someone in the face. Not in the good way. There are also those skirts which are like belts. No one would bother to put on an article of clothing that covered so little. You'd just wear undies or be naked. Forgive me for trying to bring logic to porn, but isn't it more appealing if it makes sense?

2. To all you special people out there: as long as you refer to them as "mates" you will never find one. No one wants to be talked about like a breeding experiment or a space alien's test subject. Human seeking a mate! How can you BE that furry? It sounds STUPID. And kinda stalkery. I bet if animals could talk they would agree.

3. Finally, no complaining of chronic pains or reoccurring symptoms unless you are going to DO something about them. If you don't think it's serious enough to see a doctor about, and nothing I say going to convince you to seek medical attention, then don't shatter my fragile peace of mind with the news! I'm a raging hypochondriac and I'll jump to the conclusion that you've got lupus-y cancerous space-AIDS. It comes with the whole fear-of-death thing.


In other news, I'm going to my friend Sam's wedding and Pedal got me a pretty dress! YOY.

I'm one of those people who like to go on a long, angry rant every time they encounter one of their pet peeves, and invariably the audience for the rant is one who has already heard it- word for word- at least twice before. That's why I write the New Rules sometimes. In the spirit of the original New Rules, from Bill Maher's show, I'm hoping that by getting the rants out of my system I will spare my friends and family the pain and suffering caused by my opinionated tirades.

But... do you guys enjoy reading them or not? I was under the impression that my funnier journals were those with NR, and that those got read more. I think I should bring them back. Feedback, plz!

Complimentary New Rule: No more pulling the lease out from under awesome little stores and restaurants unless you have some other business lined up to replace them. They may not be paying as much as they could from rent, but collecting their pittance has got to better than LOSING money on an ugly, empty, bald building that sits in a vacant parking lot for years gathering weeds and making people like me RAGE every time we drive past it. RAGE, I TELL YOU.


Also:
One of my favorite bands - Ra - is coming out with a new CD, and they're self-managed. Please check them out and BUY the CD with MONEY so they can stay together! Their music helps inspire Hotep! You can check them out at their website: [link] and I really hope you do!

Adding a bit to this. Firstly, I want to thank DA for locking my forum post so people can't send me any more coloring offers. It's nice to know some of the admin are listening!

Secondly, one of my favorite bands - Ra - is coming out with a new CD, and guys, they're self-managed. They do all the recording, producing, EVERYTHING themselves. All they have is a distribution deal so the CD can be in stores everywhere. Please check them out and BUY the CD with MONEY so they can stay together! They already lost a member because they don't make a lot of money touring clubs, and I love them to pieces. Their music is a good part of what inspires Hotep. You can check them out at their website: [link] and I really hope you do!




Following Pedal's lead with this one:

If I promised you a drawing and I haven't provided it yet, please, please let me know right away! I want to give out all the requests I've promised but I've misplaced the list of requests I had. I'm really sorry, I'm a scatterbrain. If you let me know now, I can finish your drawing before school starts! Anyone who doesn't respond to this journal, I'm sorry. I just can't remember off the top of my head and the list is long gone. You won't get anything unless you remind me.

In other news, I got a new pen that has sped up inking significantly and I am working on both Hotep and a six page Twilight Princess doujinshi (fan comic). A good time is guaranteed for all. :3

My classes start up in September- beginning painting, advanced drawing, creative writing, and some sort of comparative anthropology. Me and that anthropology. Inextricably linked, even though I'm an art major. EGYPT. Also, maybe animation, but I'm waitlisted so I'm not counting on it. It's so hard to get into that class, and I really need to.

I can't wait to show you guys the stuff I'm working on! X3
