Been a While

Journal Entry: Sat Jul 19, 2008, 11:22 PM
Oh Noes....I know I shouldn't have left this for too long :| I'm actually quite scared to sort through all those messages and such :fear: Ah well...it won't sort itself out. Sorry if I haven't kept in touch for a while. The computer was down for a few months, but now that it's back, I'll make an effort to stay online more often. My gallery still needs updating, which I keep saying I'll do. It just never seems to happen though ^^; Been getting stuck into Avatar a lot lately, and I've crawled back to Naruto after all these months. I can't believe how far Naruto's come since I stopped reading/watching it. Avatar's becoming interesting too, now that it's on the final stretch. I'll probably be churning out some fanart for it sometime, especially of Xin-Fu...he's my fav :D

I've started to learn Japanese too, which has been fun. I randomly stumbled across a Japanese language CD for the computer a few weeks ago while hunting down a Naruto PSP game. For $10, it teaches a lot :D Hopefully my memory won't fail me like it usually does lol. But anywho, enough rambling. Better get cracking on those messages *slumps away*

Awesome news about your costume!! Glad to hear it's finished :D Don't worry, the time will fly and it'll arrive soon enough :) Will you be practising your Gin impersonations ready for Manifest? I wish I could see you cosplay, but it's probably in another state :(

Hi Corad ^_^

I heard that my gin costume is now finished :excited:

... but I have to wait around a week or two,
before I can actually see it
'Cause it's in Melb. -_-' *sigh*

I guess, I mean the combination of Ry isn't really common is it?
So do I. I think it will, because it's meant to be a B'Day pressy
(Which is in ~two days :D)
But the costume isn't needed until September
Doesn't mean that I won't prance around in it though XD

Lol I still feel really stupid ^^; It was Ry-Ry that I confused you with. I guess it was the Ry at the start of your name. I'll make sure never to do it again :D So you haven't cosplayed Gin yet? I hope you can get your costume finished in time!! It'd be a shame if you missed out :( And you'd made Shinsou and everything too...at least there's still a month or two left before Manifest. How much of the costume is left to finish? Think positively and hopefully it'll be ready in time :)

*Ryu-Ka:iconRyu-Ka: Jul 22, 2008, 9:21:56 PM
No problem - I've done that tons of times lol
... who did you mix me up with?

Haven't done it yet - Manifest isn't until the September Holidays
And my costume is still yet to be made T_T
It's taking ages... being passed from hand to hand to hand
I'm wondering if it will ever get done myself... ):

Man, I feel like such an idiot :stupidme: Sorry Ryu-Ka!! I mixed you up with someone else...It never occured to me that I was speaking to the wrong artist. Dangitt!! Shows what being offline does to ya ^^; Sorry for confusing you like that! Man...:stupidme: I don't think enough of these could express how stupid I'm feeling lol :stupidme: :stupidme: :stupidme: Don't worry...I remember ya now. Thanks for the wake up call :D How did your Gin cosplay go? Have you done it yet?

You don't remember doing a Pokemon pic? It was the one with Ash standing in the stadium :) I'm not sure whether the staff at Madman bother to tell the artist when their pics are chosen to be featured anymore :confused:

Lol That's ok :) A few ppl have misread/mispelled my name, so it's ok. Speaking of madman, congrats for the featured Pokemon pic in the June edition of the Anime update magazine!! Was so awesome seeing your pic in there :D It'll probably take me a while, but I'll get around to checking out your artwork hopefully sometime soon. From what I've seen, it's looking awesome :)

Heya Corad! It's going well. Sounds like you're still swamped in pics and messages.
That's too bad about the computer. Yeah, my internet's got tabbing at the top, I used to hate it in all honesty, but now I rather enjoy it.
Ripp: What's the honest difference?
GreyJedi: You don't have to open a bajillion-million windows to have multiple pages. And it's at the top so there's less moving.
Ripp: :ohmygod:
GreyJedi: Sounds like you don't have much elbow room. Or an overly good setup at the moment.
Ripp: You know, I never had a computer. I think just having one's a pretty sweet setup.
GreyJedi: Well, your opinion doesn't count for much Mister Likes-to-steal-GJ's-keyboard.
Ripp: Why do you call yourself GJ?!
GreyJedi: Cause it's faster to type. :P Anyway, I'll leave you to go rifle through those piles of pictures you've got. I'll talk to you later.
Ripp: Don't forget that chapter you're supposed to be betaing.
GreyJedi: Right! Look, you've made yourself more than useless.
Ripp: :confused: I can't tell if that was a compliment or not. ^^;
GreyJedi: So, anyway, I was letting you go. Talk to you later. Bye Corad! By Sharok! :XD:
Ripp: :bye:

REMEMBER! when you come to the edge of all the light you have and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on, or you'll be taught to fly. :D
