Hello, all. G-star here. I actually could've posted this sometime on Friday, but since I posted on Wednesday I thought it might be a little much to write two large posts in the space of two days. This is gonna be a long one. (Besides, if I changed to a daily schedule I would feel guilty every time I couldn't go on the computer...I don't need the stress.)
First things first: Thursday morning I got my braces off! As my mom had continuously told me, if felt slimy. I had to get a permanent lower retainer along with a nighttime upper one and the upper one hurts like heck to yank off my teeth. They have to take a cast of my top teeth the make the retainer, which has got to be one of my top three things to avoid. They have flavors for the pink stuff they use, but that doesn't matter because I can't taste it. All I can taste is the icky metal tray they hold the pink stuff in. Not only does it trigger my gag reflex, it makes my stomach sick, a combination that can come to no good. But the braces are off and that's what matters. I've also found out that when the lady who works on my mouth says "you're going to feel a little pressure" she means "it's going to feel like I'm yanking your teeth out of your mouth, but don't scream!" - _ - Great. I bet that's what they're trained in: reverse hyperboles.
To celebrate MC and I went to the grocery store across the street during lunch and bought sour gummy worms. Well, I did, she bought sour gummy worms and fake tea. Then, over the course of lunch she ate the entire bag of gummy worms and finished off the tea, and after she did, she asked if we could go back and buy another bag of candy.
...
I thought I was supposed to be the hyper one?
I only ate half the bag, and the rest's still in my lunch box. (No, MC, you can't have any.) That tea had a ridiculous amount of sugar in it, too. She was pretty jumpy...
I like drawing. You could even say it's a hobby. But I don't do it a lot. Like, I'll doodle something when I have an idea or come up with something stupid when I'm bored...or I did. Ever since I drew up the picture for Akira's and my contest I've been drawing a lot more, on full-size paper instead of in my sketchbook no less. I even go over the drawings in softer lead to darken the lines and am considering inking a few of them. I finish more and faster, too. I think I may finally be on the road to actually continuing one of my comics. I also found out part of why I don't finish a lot of my pictures; most of the time I don't like how they look because the eyes suck. I love manga and all, but when it comes to the face the people have to be symmetrical, and that's nearly impossible with anime-style eyes. So I've been taking a page out of Applegeeks's and Megatokyo's books and doing lazy yet expressive comic eyes, which mainly consist of a slightly curved line and a white circle. And hey, it works! I'm still using anime eyes every so often when what I'm drawing requires it, but mostly this comic style works great. And I don't have to worry about changing the style too much when I go back to working on Zane's comic because their eyes are already like that, just a little bigger. So it works. I like it.
Now that I have my braces off I can eat so many things I couldn't before. Mom bought a huge bag of dark chocolate caramel pretzels from Costco. They're DELICIOUS. And just last night I got a caramel dessert when I went out to eat with my grandparents. It seems that when they're here we eat out a lot. Not that that's a bad thing, but...actually, maybe it is. I'm stuffing my face with fattening foods every weekend, not to mention my frugality won't let me rest... At least we're eating at sit-down restaurants. But my mom used to make a nice dinner whenever they came to visit. I wonder what happened to that? Mmm, pork roast...
I uploaded the cyborg picture to G+, so I can post it here for you guys to see, despite my being on a school computer. Ah, the wonders of technology. (I did promise.) The hat and tail are based off things Piro wears in Megatokyo...I always thought they were so cute. :3 So enjoy, and until next time, this is G-star, signing off!
