Mini-Ramble: A Summary of Flubber.

     Hello, all.  G-star here.  I originally had a set-out plan for this post, which I came up with last night, but as always, I forgot everything I thought yesterday overnight.  So I'll just talk about MC's birthday instead.
     Patveli and I forced her to walk home while we biked ahead to pick up some cupcakes (white with purple buttercream frosting) that my mom and I had bought and get to her house.  We waited for a couple minutes and then shoved cupcakes down her throat (virtually) when she arrived at home.  I got her a thing called a Splat-Back, an odd sticky ball that flattens when you throw it at something hard enough, then turns back into a spherical shape.
     Patveli named the material "flubber".  Oddly, it fits.
     I also got her a kneaded rubber eraser, because she was continuously stealing the one from my pencil case whenever she saw it.  She appreciated that as well, and has been messing with both presents since yesterday.
     Patveli got her guitar supplies -- 'handmade' strings and picks -- and Rory (the formerly unmentioned fifth member of the dynasty) made her a 'showoff' card, but couldn't come.  We watched the fight scene between Edward and Mustang in Full Metal Alchemist, threw the flubber at various surfaces, and ate cupcakes until my lips were purple and IT WOULDN'T COME OFF.
     It was a good day.  G-star off.

Mini-Ramble: In a Rush, But Please Enjoy (Zane Art)!

     Hello, all.  G-star here.  Sorry, I would've liked to post yesterday or even Thursday, but my brother has been on the computer almost nonstop since Christmas.  I don't know how he manages this since he's also been playing his new Pokemon Y game nonstop, but...
     I had a great Christmas, and I hope you did, too.  (Now here comes the New Year....)  What'd you get?  (Rhetorical question; I know that no one comments on my blog. T-T)  I received a new computer drawing tablet, and I spent the entirety of Christmas day working on a picture of Zane (the main character of my comic).  It turned out great!  The one problem I'm having is that I drew it on a manga software, and it cuts the picture off at the borders of where the comic would regularly be.  Also there's a page number on it.  Other than that, however, I'm happy with it, and I hope you will be as well.  Yes, I'm actually posting a promised drawing!  (I never did put up that angel drawing, did I...?)  Please enjoy.
     I have a lot else to say, but not enough time, so I will tell the rest this coming week.  (Since it's not like anything else interesting will happen any time soon.)  Until then, G-star out.
And there's that page number....^          
And there.^

Mini-Ramble: No Getting Around the Name; It's That Short (Say Hello To Roo).

     Hello, all.  Yes, I know I had promised to post one of the past few days, and I fully intended to, but unfortunately I was inconvenienced both of those days; Thursday I had my brother's school's Christmas program, which I had forgotten about, and yesterday I had to go Christmas shopping.
     Speaking of which, I still need to buy a couple more presents, because even though I've finished off my immediate family, I have too many friends to buy something for all of them without either running out of money, feeling guilty about not getting someone something, or possibly both.  So I'm just going to focus on MC, Patveli, and Stulte (the third member of our "private, unofficial club"), even though I have a couple other people who got me small things whom I'm going to feel extremely guilty about not getting anything.  What can I say?  Oh, I know.  I HATE SHOPPING.  Especially for presents.
     Now then, I had some small things I wanted to talk about.  Firstly, I've heard a lot of studies about how people are more stressed around the holiday season than any other time of year, and I definitely agree.  Last night the rest of my family was freaking out because of an incident involving salsa, some presents, and a $50 poetry book.  I won't go further into detail, but my mom was spazzing, my brother was crying, and my dad was yelling.  Meanwhile, I was standing in the kitchen, feeding the cat, cool as a cucumber.  If I had thought about what was going on a little more, I would've broken down as well, but I tried not to think about it because I am an opposer of stress.  I hate stress because it makes my life harder, so I simply avoid it when possible.
     Now on to another topic.  At the aforementioned Christmas program I saw my friend Roo (yes, that's a nickname) for the first time in...um...I guess two months?  He's the only one of my middle school classmates whom I still keep up with, and while I DO keep up with him, I haven't Skyped him for a while.  He has a backstory, but I won't go into detail right now.  Anyway, he's the one who introduced me to Minecraft.  It was good to see him again face-to-face.
     I had more to talk about, but I'm half-asleep and can't remember any of it, so it'll have to wait...oh!  That's right.  I'm signing up for the school talent show with Patveli.  We're going to do a song, with me singing and him doing bass/guitar.  Of course, our choices are limited because it needs to be a song I can sing, with a bass line he can record and loop, and a cool-sounding guitar bit.  All of this needs to be decided by the end of winter break.  This will be difficult.
     Until Wednesday, when I hopefully remember more of the stuff I had to say, this is G-star, signing off.
