I need to take a quick break from studying from my Computer Graphics final (which I am going to fail, despite the massive studying I've done for it so far >_<). So here are some random things that popped into my head. Wondering what to get me for Christmas? Here's a small list:
- A replacement battery for my dressy metal watch. I haven't been able to wear it in months. ._.
- Some cool stickers for my laptop cover. Preferably largish ones that I wouldn't mind being seen with.
- Nice portable headphones that aren't quite as massive as my... really massive ones. But something better than my iPod earbuds. o_o;
- How about a decently sized mixing bowl? Making pancakes is always a near-disaster for me.
- I don't read much in the way of English manga these days, but I wouldn't complain if someone got me Shaman King v.7. I'd say Peacemaker Kurogane too, but book 4 isn't out yet.
- I'm receptive to books in general...
- Anything that would be useful for a recent college grad. Ha ha. o_o;
- Oh yeah. How about some new, plastic clay tools? My old ones are a bit scratched up, and they don't do justice to my dragons.
*goes back to studying*

The Popular Kid
Well, this is a strange new turn of events. I've gotten emails and guestbook comments about my clay dragons before, but they've been sporadic and random. However, in the past week, I've gotten three serious dragon requests. Two of them are as presents for daughters, and two are based off of a series of dragon books written by Chris D'Lacey that I've never heard of before. Apparently it involves small clay dragons. XD
Since it's the end of term, things are winding down, and although I still have ridiculous amounts of work to complete before term's out, I'm quite interested in getting back to working on dragons. I was thinking of taking all my clay stuff home over winter break, but perhaps this is an opportunity to start early. I actually completed a transaction with one of the requesters, as they wanted a dragon that I had on hand, so sending that out tomorrow will be an adventure. This makes me wonder how I would go about offering myself out for dragon commissions on a slightly more regular basis. It's not quite so easy, now that my mom's closed down the toy store. Guess I can put something up on my DA account. Or maybe on FAC, although most of the people there are young and poor. ^^;
A bunch of us on the FAC forums got together to do a Secret Santa art exchange thingy... I'm looking forward to it - I know who I was assigned, so now I just need to take the time to sit down and draw something. I feel bad for whoever pulled my name, as most people there don't know me all that well. I'm not a terribly vocal member. ._. Sucks to be them, but it might also suck to be me. We'll see...
I went to a craft fair today, which filled me once again with dreams of attending a craft fair as a vendor. Someday... Some way... Heh. Maybe I should be more worried about finding myself a job after I graduate.
While I'm on the topic of being extremely artsy at present, I guess I might as well stick in a link to my latest original characters. More dark elves, I know, but I am so very fond of them. ^^; Assassins for the win! That's the first picture I've colored in months...

Brr
Today we had a blizzard and a thunderstorm... at the same time. It was a very strange experience, to say the least. Now all the freshmen are out romping around in the snow, but I'm stuck having to finish my overdue article for the anime club newsletter. Oh well, at least I'm forced to go tramping around outside to get to anime club later.
I've got icicles down my window - that's never happened before. Term's almost over, and I'm feeling rushed and rather lost. I don't know what to do with myself - makes me feel pretty gloomy these days. At least I get to go home soon. I'm looking forward to some free time to do jigsaw puzzles and read manga. Just a bit more than a week, that's all it is!
