Machall is pretty much one of the first web-comics that made me want to get into doing that sort of thing. I first read it in ninth grade when the literary magazine kids turned me onto it. At first I was like, 'this comic is kind of bleh', but it seemed to get better as I kept reading it. I havn't read it since the series itself ended, but I think that I might get the same reaction that I had the first time that I read it if I went back and read it now.

I had to post this here for now. Hopefully myspace starts working again, damn thing.
So anyways, I finally got my LiveJournal layout thing done, so it's all good. I'm rather tired again, which really doesn't make much sense to me, but whatever.I'll explain what happened over the weekend, hopefully it doesn't make me mad or anything.
Saturday, I woke up and got ready to go. Courtney was being annoying since she needs people to walk with her everytime that she leaves the house [she's so paranoid, she needs to get over it], so she was trying to get me to walk her to the blood drive. Thank god Shannon picked her up instead. I ended up getting really mad at Shannon though. I told her that I'd been planning to give blood all week, but I'd gotten sick and the people who come in to talk to us before giving blood don't want people to give blood if they've been sick recently, so I couldn't give blood. She thought that I was lieing and got all sarcastic with me. I got so pissed, I just wanted to curse her out or something, but of course I can't and of course I didn't.
I was royally pissed though.I want to quit my job sooooooo bad, but now I can't. I got a thing in the mail to go to Moore's residential art program for a month in the summertime. C'est terrible. I really really don't want to go. The people there are weird and annoying and I hate art classes. But it's this "great oppurtunity" and I already kow that I'm doomed to that colege anyway, so might as well just go with the flow I spose. Mabe I can get into AI later.
I walked to the train station and met up with Kam and Jon half-way there. I was pretty irritated, but went along with it anyways. We went to the bank and then Rite Aid. We got those little splenda tea things that are like Kool Aid to go paquetsthat you pour into water, only this had splenda and 'energy supplements' in it. I swear mto god, the world s obsessed with energy supplements and america is becoming more addicted to energy than me. It reminds me of that Year Zero shit that Kyle showed me over the summer. I should finish reading that. I should finish reading [the book] too. I only stopped reading it cos it was freaking me out big time. but hey, it's still on my bed screaming "DYANNA READ ME". So is that book that I got from Ben, "Cheese Monkeys". I need to give Maureen her book back. Maybe I'll finally get the chance to this upcoming weekend. And myabe I won't be souped up caffinated and piss her off this time. Damn I'm hungry. Grilled cheese sounds good, but I'd much rather make it with Velveeta. Too damn xpensive though. I've seen "The Incredibles so much over the paast few weeks, it''s crazy. The movie store is closing down. I bought 8 VHS tapes before it did. I got
Constantine
The Crow
The Crow 'City of Angels' [that's where Bob's tatoo came from, but we don't speak of him anymore]
The Core
I Robot
Donnie Darko <333
The Lost Boys
Total Recall [lawl]
I have the sudden urge to watch SUPER MARIO BROTHERS the live action movie too, but that's just me being weird. Still damn hungry.
So anyways, we walked up to the mall and went to yummy yummy burger king. Kam and I kept spiking Jon's drinks with energy shit, it was funny. This one chick there kept staring at me though, it was rather creepy. So we ate a lot of chikin fries [i know how to spell chicken, I just prefer the mispelling] and went to the mall. I hung out and talked to Ryan in the comic bookstore a little bit and he showed me graffiti labs, it was hard core. It's so cool, I keep finding out about all of this underground shit from so many different people, it makes me feel rather hard-core. Oh yea, I might be rebuilding the old website that I used. The only problem is that coding by hand without teh proper programs can be a royal pain in the ass, So I might have to do the layout at school during class or sumthing. But whatev.
We went to best buy and Kam and I spent 2 straight hours playing Rock Band. Jon just sat there being pissy, we kept tellng him that he didn't have to stay there and watch and that there were a bajillion other game consoles set up that he could play at, but he insisted on staying, so it was his loss.
We went to Five Below and bought more trading cards. I bought a lot of candy that day in general, we'd stopped at BigLots before hand and I picked up a lot. Anyways, we went to the movies and saw "Strange Wilderness". It was really quite terrible. Some parts were funny, but the overall movie sucked. Not to mention it was really grody >.<
Anyways, after that we waited for the bus. Jon was being emo again, it was annoying. I asked him why and he said he would tell me later when we were alone.
Here's the thing, I refuse to be alone with Jon anywhere at any time ever anymore. I haven't actually told him this, but I think that he knows and I'll say why later. Anyway, I'm like "No, tell me now", so then Kam went across the street and Jon told me that he might have testicular cancer. Alright, to be honest, I personally think that it's complete bullshit. First off, he's lied to me before. Many times. Many many many times. Usually it's in an effort to make me like him more. Not to mention I know that he looks up to his friend Shane who's dying and secretly wishes that he could be exactly like him. Subconciously, he sees that if he thinks that he's dying of an illness too, then he can be more like Shane. But I don't know.
Anyway, I just think that the doctor was like "you might have cancer, but we'll give you a test and double-check to make sure that you don't", and Jon heard "you have cancer, you're going to die", and knowing that I fall for the sympathy card really easily, used it to try and make me care about him more. Yeah, go killurself Jon. So I told him that the chances are slim that he actually has cancer and that Doctors readily jump to conclusions without confirmed evidence when it comes to that kind of stuff, so it was fine.
We went to Adezio's party and it was the Bon-Diggity. We played man-hunt and the cops showed up because they thought that we had illegal narcoticsbecause someone called and said that someone had been throwing up in the alleyway. It was funny, because what really happened was that Meyers was in the alleyway, stoped in the middle of running, leaned over, and sighed really loud and was like "god im tired". It was funny. it was just gay that they need five cop cars there, jesus.
The rest of th party went uninteruppted, I gave adezio a batman sticker with "batjew" scrawled on it and kirstin a candy bar [her b-day is after his, crazy coincidence that everyone else had forgotten] from Kam, Jonn, and I. Then Adezio opened his presents and we all were mostly just standing around, talking and eeking out. It was really funny. Adezio and Mike something sang along while Meyers did air guitar. Then me and Jon ept CHANGEing PLACES like alice in wonderland. I actually talked to Erikson with out getting pissed off or biting hs head off. Then I fell asleep on a sleeping Kirstin and it was cute XD Suddenly Chuck started texting me as I was leaving and I realised that Zollo had called. It was kinda like "wow, random?", but it was all good. I walked home at 1130 and pretty much just watched Neon Genesis evangelion some more. I'm rather hungry. I'ma finally eat now.

Yay, I finally got a working LiveJournal. I decided that since I'm already on Myspace, Facebook, Xanga, and MyYearbook, I might as well add to the list. However, I think this blog is going to be a bit less rough-around-the-edges. Like bigwords and more portfolio segments, if you understand what I mean. I'm finally getting into making my comic dream a reality. With the end of my senior year approaching, I can finally get started on the comic that wiill basically be outlining my entire high school experience, although I must admit now, it may be somewhat misconstrued; my memory just isn't quite what it used to be, and all that I really have to go on is my myspace blog and the stack of old journals that I have laying around. I might even only focus on my senior year too, but that's just an idea. I'm trying to use this reality/storyline as the basis behind the comic I'm working on as sort of a practise-comic. I want to try putting together a decent storyline full below-the-surface subplots and symbolism as a way of creating a more instinctual spin on the story itself. But hey, that's just me. Anyway, I've done several rough copys of storyline starters and layout designs, I'm just hoping that those comic art courses I took come in handy. I have to go o9ut and get art supplies at some point too, my paycheck just finally went through [$52. Not much for a two-week paycheck, but it's something], so I should be able to make the purchases of the tems that I need.
uhm, letsee....
that 11/8 paper
mechanical pencils
a ruler
a new sketchbook
pilot pens
a sharpie
and I think that that's all that i need right now. I don't know whether or not I'm going to be able to get all of it today, so I dunno. I'm gonna go drink some juice.
