In BCIS. The people sitting in front of me, all four of them, like to touch each other. One dude is always rubbing the girl's back, while the other one is always just... touching the other one. .. that's a confusing statement, but I don't want to give away names.

Anyhoodle, short week this week. One full day of school today, and a half day tomorrow. I need to pack up for my trip to San Antonio [which will be Wednesday to Sunday I think? I hope not. I want Sunday open for doing stuff] but I'm sure I'll have some extra time, so I'll do a sketch dump.

And you'll get to see the roughs of the recent Smarmbat Heights pages, 6 months after Katie and I originally started. We've improved so much, you have no idea!

I wish I had something to talk about.



But I really don't.



Life has been... well. A little busy. I have... three [technically four] tests next week, two quizzes, and a lab write up all due this week. Which kind of makes me want to kill myself, but I'll be rewarded with.... a weekend, three more days of school, then a trip to San Antonio to celebrate Thanksgiving and my mom's birthday. Then ten more days until my birthday!

Also, since I know my mom doesn't read my blog, check out the cake I'm making her for her birthday: October Spice Cake

Pray it turns out good! I'm also making her a personalized iPhone skin, and I'm gonna have to get that done... asap. I have no idea what the design will be. I'm thinking of something very simple, especially with all the shit I have to do this week. Plus it'll look better that way?


In other news, dad bought Modern Warfare 2. But he gets motion sickness when he plays, so he hasn't been messing with it much. So while he and mom were out last night, I decided to try my hand at it.

I was pretty devastated when it got to the third level. If you don't know, basically you're assigned as an undercover agent to work with some Russian terrorist organization to shoot up an airport. They throw you right into this and don't give you any warning, so it's you, four guys with big guns exiting an elevator and then killing a good 20 people seconds later. I was in such shock that I didn't shoot anyone, since these were innocent people and, hell, I ain't no terrorist. When the S.W.A.T. team came, I had no choice but to shoot, but jesus. That was not a fun experience.

The snow level though, oh man. That was amazing. The whole snow mobile section was exhilarating!

And the whole level where all the fighting is in some American neighborhood was shocking for the first few minutes, then it dragged on and.... well, I was fine after that. But then I also got sick, so I stopped playing.

So yeah, fun game, but a little clunky and... really... really shocking.


And now for something completely different.


I love Lady Gaga and I want to father her children.

Mind you, this conversation is all paraphrased and pieced together from what I can remember, which may be a bit skewed by the shock I felt during the situation. You can ask my friends as to how true the information is. I'm not trying to paint the waiter out to be an ass, but he was an ass.

Gather 'round, children, and listen to the old and ancient tale, passed down from day to day since Friday night, entitled.... THE TALE OF THE ASSHOLE WAITER *thunder crash*

Onicon was this last weekend. Out of all my con experience, it was my first one where I got to stay in a hotel room and my first one where I didn't hang out all Friday. Instead, Friday consisted of going to a school dance, not dancing at that school dance, singing, yelling about lost phones, and hanging out at the school until 11. I went with a posse that consisted of Katie (apple_rocket ), Olivia (battari_kakiin), Morgan (gothicdementor), and Katie's brother and our lovely driver, Caleb. All that not-dancing and not-having-any-real-food-all-day-since-people-were-just-giving-out-candy [a problem that would plague us through the weekend] resulted us working up quite an appetite, so while trying to find our way to the hotel, we go to 59 Diner to have a quick meal.

We are no strangers to 59 Diner. It's the place my friends and I go whenever we're craving something late at night. It's seen us at all hours of the day, and usually after events like going to see Rocky Horror, cons, plays, etc, sometimes in groups of 15 or more. I don't think I've had real food from there in a while, since I just ordered a malt [yeah, despite that statement earlier about candy, I did manage to cram a sandwhich down before going off to the dance for 5 hours].

We get there and we're seated at a booth. It's a 4-person booth, and there were 5 of us, so Caleb was sort of crammed between Olivia and me but I don't think he was too uncomfortable. Then our waiter comes over. He's this flamboyant gay man, probably in his mid 40s or something, and is loud and not shying away from attention of any sort.

He introduces himself and asks "Do you guys want to move to a different table? It would be hard to fit 5 plates on one table so we can move you..."

I respond saying "Oh, no I think we'll be okay cuz I know not all of us are going to be ordering... like, a plate meal..."

And the waiter stares at me and the interrupts, saying "Do you always talk like that?"

"Yes?" I respond, in some matter. I think I said it in a joking way. That or a confused way.

"Cuz it's really annoying."

8|

"Do you guys agree? Does she always talk like that? It's annoying right?"

And he keeps going. I don't know what else he said. I remember him taking drink orders, me making some come back of "I'd like to order a new waiter." him making some remark and then leaving to get our drinks. And while we had all been laughing nerveously throughout the exchange, after he left we immediately began trying to figure out WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED. What had I said? How had I said it? Was it the way I speak? My voice is naturally at a lower register than most girls, I can't do anything to stop that. When explaining something, I tend to do that spacey thing girls do when they're trying to be awkward and cute, but not on purpose. WHAT MADE ME ANNOYING. Of course, we didn't put too much thought into it after we shifted gears pretty quickly into figuring out what was wrong with HIM instead of me. The question continued to run through my head for a bit until I realized he's just an asshole.

He comes back around, gives us our drinks, leaves, comes back, and when he's taking our food orders, the waiter decides to pseudo-apologize. I say this, because it was more an excuse than an apology. Something along the lines of [and I love the way Olivia sounds when she immitates him] "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you, you seemed hurt by what I said, I just come from a family of assholes, we're used to this sort of thing, learn from me." All in his extremely loud and annoying voice.

See, thing is, dude... I'm your customer. I'm YOUR client. YOUR pay depends on MY tip. And your tip depends on how you treat me. If you insult me like that, don't expect me to take any liking to you and don't expect a tip. I don't care if you were joking, the joke went on for too long in the 2 minutes you kept it running. I can laugh at it now because it was hilarious and completely unexpected, but in the minute you were standing there insulting me, and before you left so that my friends and I could figure out the whole WHATEVER I was hurt. And that's not how you want your client to feel.

Needless to say, he got no tip from me, even if it would have only been about $0.50

So kids, moral of the story? IF YOU'RE  A WAITER, DONT BE AN ASSHOLE OR YOU GET NO TIP. If you find a customer annoying, SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE AND TAKE THEIR GODDAMN ORDER


We spent the rest of the weekend continually making fun of the waiter. Every time anyone said something we could apply the phrase "DO YOU ALWAYS TALK LIKE THAT CUZ ITS REALLY ANNOYING. YOU SHOULD LEARN FROM ME" we would say it in the gayest, most assholey way possible.


It was a fun experience and I can't wait to never see that waiter again.

First off, sketches! I scanned the first few with a gray scale setting so they're missing that yellow tinge I love so much that comes with scanning moleskine paper. So sorry about that D:


Yeeah, this is the first of ... like, 6 sketches I have of Morrigan from Darkstalkers. I've never actually played the Darkstalkers game but I do play Puzzle Fighter often and she's my first pick, always. After going to Onicon, I just felt like doing fanart and her design is one of my favorites.

( Sketches under here~ )
( And Oni-con photos here~ )

( And here's the stuff I bought! )

AUGH! HUGE ENTRY! WE'RE DONE. JESUS.

If you haven't seen Pan's Labyrinth and plan to some time in the near future, don't watch this video because it contains spoilers for that fantastic movie.



I love this girl's voice. Check out her video "You're Not Alone" while you're at it. Such a gorgeous voice.

The song is from Hocus Pocus, but I love how well it fits Pan's Labyrinth.

Anyway, just passing time while waiting for the blip.tv servers to get back into action while drawing more falling girls.

First off, I apologize for the quality of these images. They're in all kinds of sizes and qualities because I was lazy with scanning and resizing them them. I hope it isn't too bad...

Anyway, my previous moleskine ended somewhere in the middle of the
month, and as a result I haven't been doing much art, since I don't keep any other kind of journal with me and most of my sketches are done in binders I keep at school [I save those for the end-of-semester sketch dumps, in December and May]. I have done sooome art though, so I guess I'll show you that.

I made a separate entry that's got two NSFW images in it. It's friend locked though, so... yeah. Gotta be my friend to see it.



I did this after taking the PSAT. We had the rest of the school day pretty much off[ish] so I decided to color a pic of Meg I'd printed out the night before. This is done with primsacolor pencils and the like. Do not ask me about that chair, I did not draw it, and the person who did should be fired.

( More under the cut. )

BTW gotta a new hat



Hells yes.

I woke up this morning and browsed the web, came across and article on MTV.com and then remembered something very particular about the MTV logo and my connection with it.

I think it looks like a man.



I don't know how it happened, it's just something the logo has always reminded me of. A probably hispanic man with bushy eyebrows and a bushy moustache. Think Tim from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. But in a sombrero.

A lot of people around LJ do friend cuts. I get why and I know it's annoying when someone is following you and not talking to you. Believe me, I think only about 5% of the people who watch me on dA interact with me.

And, um, I may not respond to everything you post, or maybe I never respond to anything you post, but that doesn't mean I don't read it, or look at your art, or appreciate it. I take time out of my day for computeriing and stuff and one of the first things I do is look at my friends list. I'm just not very good at posting comments.


So um, yeah. While I'm sure this journal is gonna get bumped until it's off the page, I just thought I'd put a word in.

Please don't block me for being inactive, I swear I'm not > 3<;

Guys this is so fantastic.







This show is still stupid but at least it can make fun of itself.

And with Neil Patrick Harris on top of it all!

Like the Ariel calendar, I got this from the Disney website.

I printed out several for various characters, but this Snow White is the only one I've colored.



Colored with Prismacolor markers. It's really hard to control the bleed from the markers so there are some parts where it blends with colors outside of the lines and that.... bothers me. BUT OH WELL.

Also, I plan on coloring this one next:


So cute.

So school has been hectic, and like usual I haven't really been able to sit down and complete something. But I've ben trying to make time... it's just haaaard ;____;

But anyway, this blog is for sketches, right? That's why it's called einahsketch, no einahletstalkaboutschoollifeallthetimebaw.

And yes, there's some nudity. So yeah.

( 18 or so more under here! ) 

Now please turn into my live stream! Tonight's music theme is various musicals of all types, stages, screens and languages! No idea what I'll draw or what not, but I'll figure something out ;D

Drawn on tonight's livestream!
Worked on the Midna pic a bit... lots of mistakes, but it's a WIP... And a hard one at that. I'm already at 20+ layers [at least 6 of those are reference though...]
I was asked to draw kitties and Sweeney Todd. Well... Here you go. Sweeney Todd kitties.

Gotta do something to keep my shit together.

I had a crappy day. Crappy week, really. But that's now why we're here. Nope. We're here for a meme.

The Rules:
~ Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper.
~ Explain in no more than five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
~ Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!





A combination of two of eiko-chan's deviations, "This happy place." and "Young at heart." I switched around the images so that it showed some of my favorite Disney ladies [and girlies], and included Tiana because I'm really looking forward to The Princess and the Frog. The only one I feel like justifying my liking for is Pocahontas. I know Disney completely raped her story and all, but it was a movie that was near and dear to me while I was growing up and I still enjoy despite all that history stuff. Plus it's really pretty. The rest are pretty self-explanatory [and awesome], and I love eiko's style so that just gives me more reason to make this my wallpaper.

I might actually get to scan some art tonight.

Yay possible free time!... I hope.

Did this for my English teacher while trying to come up with an idea of what to paint for her. She wants a portrait of John Keats. I did a nice headshot, but I felt it wasn't enough.

Then this happened.

What is this:

Oh god, so many things wrong with this. First off, guy on the left: faces don't work like that. It looks like his eye sockets are protruding out of his head. Which they don't. That's why they're sockets.

The kid in the middle left... well, there's not much wrong with him, but the shading is weird. Something is just off.

And the girl on the middle right? Is that like... a Megan Fox lookalike whose face is too big for her head? Especially with the whole... hair line thing. It's scary.

And finally, poor Olive. She looks okay, just really serious. Plus here hand. HER HAND. It's like her fingers got squished.

Hrrrrrn that was the greatest ending I've ever seen in my life!

... well, okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Not the greatest ending, certainly doesn't compare to watching Wall-E opening night at 2 in the morning and just BAWING MY FUCKING EYEBALLS OUT. I mean JESUS.

( -Spoilers for Deathnote ending from here on out- )

Speaking of free time, holy shit, I have none! I shouldn't even be writing this! Auuuuugh school I hate yooooou TT vTT

I love how I can use this icon for, like, every emotion. Pure bliss, amazement, stress, out of control. It's so awesome.



... Yeah, BCIS is boring and so i waste time by posting about... an icon.


*siiiiiiigh*

I don't get it LJ.

I just don't get it.

You are 10 years old. Your posting systems should not be so screwed up.

I shouldn't be spending a whole hour trying to fix a stupid html code and have it continually screw up when I'm not looking. If it's fixed, I expect it to stay fix, not break when I return 8 hours later.

This is irresponsible of you. It shouldn't be this difficult to do ANYTHING. If I use the "cut" option in the Rich Text tab, it should cut all the document, not half of it. If I link to a user using that stupid "Livejournal User" button, then the link should end at the end of that name and not make all the text and images that follow link to that person's page. Images shouldn't mysteriously disappear.

I'm just trying to post some art. Just trying to get some feedback. I love Livejournal. I love the people here and I enjoy scanning my images and seeing my improvement. Don't make it an unbearable chore to do this, PLEASE.
