For those of you still following and paying attention.

Ok, this whole journal entry was sparked by a button I have on my myspace page. It shows and hand drawing something on a piece of paper and it is captioned, "Anime is art too." I've had it on my page forever and I've just now realized what it was standing against. People are saying that anime style of drawing doesn't count as real art. I say that's bulls***. Pardon my language. Anime is no different from any other type of drawing style. I'm sure a lot of people are just saying that it doesn't count because anime is popping up every where nowadays. A lot of people are being influenced by the asian art style. Maybe the people saying that it doesn't count are just haters b/c they can't draw in that style. Really immature people. Well in my book it counts. If anime doesn't count then no other style should either. Plan and simple. ^-^

Ok, so I was sitting at home watching Mirrormask. If you haven't seen that movie here is the basic story line for it. "Helena is a 15-year-old girl who has spent nearly her entire life on the road, traveling with her parents Joanne and Morris , who make a living as circus performers. One night, Helena wishes for a quieter and more stable life, only to panic when her mother falls seriously ill, ending up in the hospital. Afraid she's caused her mother's illness, Helena slips into an alternate reality known as the Dark Lands that she has created through many drawings she has created over the years, where nearly everything behaves differently and all is ruled by the Queen of Light and the Prime Minister. As it happens, the Queen of Shadows' daughter, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Helena, has gone missing; the Queen of Light has fallen unconscious as a result; and both queens' minders are looking for the child. As Helena struggles to make her way back to her own world to help her own mother, she discovers the Queen of Shadows' daughter has taken her place. Helena is aided in her journey by a gifted juggler named Valentine, and together they seek to access a magic charm which will return everyone to the land where they belong." So basically this whole event is caused by this girl's imagination. It made me wonder,...what kinda of world would be created from my imagination? What do you think?

Ok, I'm sitting here in my grandmother's living room watching Justice League because I'm bored out of my skull so, I've decided to talk about yesterday. It was the first time since summer break that I had done something besides sitting around the house playing the Sims 2 all day. My cousin Bonnie had come over to the house to visit my grandmother and after that she was hanging out in the burg. I saw this as a great opportunity to pick up some new manga since I have read every comic I have at least 9 times. We went to books-a-million and as soon as we got there I made a mad leap for the manga section. When I got there and started looking through all of the various selection I came to a problem I've never had before....I had no idea what I wanted and none of the titles interested me. I was completely confused. I looked for about 30 minutes before I decided to look at something stuff and then come back. I was making my way towards the art section of the store and I accidently walked through the "sex book" aisle trying to get there. I wasn't going to stop in there until I saw a sign that said "Mature Manga". I wasn't going to stop because I was afraid people would think that I was a pervert or something but I said.."Hey, I'm old enough to read this stuff, who cares what some nosy person says." So I look through some of it, especially the yaoi books and I only have one word to say. E-ro-tic! Lol. Well anywho on the manga front I looked for another 30 mins and decided to get Vol. 3 of Blood Relatives, since with this book I would complete the series and I got Vol. 1 of Lucky Star. I love that series its so funny. When we left BAM I started reading my Blood Relatives comic and I realized something horrible....The comic people had switched artists. The characters looked entirely different. The characters looked a whole lot older and sometimes younger than they actually were. the adventurous female, looked like a married lady. The devilish sexy punk rock bad guy, looked like a naughty child. Luckily, this was a one time thing. Unluckily, it was the very last book in the series. And to make matters worse ending was so corny it gave me a headache and that is no joke. Oh well what can you do. Well I think I've told you enough for today. Tell you the rest later. K?
