I voted for Obama, but McCain gave a great resignation speech! It was very touching, sinceire, and patriotic. He was, as my roomate *wolfkat77 said, "a good sport". BUT all the crowd did was boo at McCain, TWICE! That's like "historically rude" I said to *wolfkat77 again. I hope Obama can make America better enough to make up for all those immature booing people in the crowd tonight at Chicago's Grant Park. Uggghh....I didn't vote for McCain, but I feel for him with how insulting some people can be.

Anyway, got to get ready for bed. I have school tommorow. That's why I'm never here commenting enough...so busy sometimes. X3 I might grammer check and make this journal look prettier tommorow.

_{P.S. I had to vote abseentee for my home state, and it was difficult and time consuming. I think I'd do it again, though! I served my duty!}


And to all a good night no matter where
you are in the world! ,

Yes! As you can see toward your right, I finally updated my Shout Board with some sketches I've done this summer plus an extra. It took me a while to get them all looking pretty along with descriptions. So, go look at, read, and enjoy 'em, kay? Oh, and after forgetting so many times, I also added my real life buddy ~YukaoRasoshi to the Shout Board.

Guess what?! >w< I added a W.I.P. progress bar for my webcam picture on my main page to show how much progress I made on my current WIP here. It's so wrong! But guess what!!!...I'm updating it tommrow, and hopefully again a few days after too. I'm trying to make the finished version as pretty as I can.

Please excuse the delay,
Mary

Anyone want to trade their Mario Kart Wii friend code with me? I've got a good WiFi connection, decent skill level, and I participate in some of the tournaments. I'd really like to have some friend codes, because I currently don't have any.




Also, I'd especially like friends who participate in the worldwide tournaments, but anyone is fine with me. I Also added a poll just cause I'm curious and nosey, and my journal let me vote in my own poll! O.o And yes, I'm still working on my WIP here. I haven't abandoned him, the poor thing. (=


Hope you had a great 4th of July,
Mary

I'm getting really close to 5k, so I thought I would inform my dear watchers about it so that you guys can try and catch it before it's gone. If anyone catches it, they get a free giftart of their choice from me! Though, do be aware I'm not going to draw anything for you...Anyway, the rules to catching it are below.

1.) Take a screenshot of my mainpage when it hits exactly 5,000 pageviews. (lucky you XD)
2.) Send the screenshot to me through a note. I can give you my e-mail if that's the only way to send me the screen shot.
3.) Please, don't request a super hard giftart, risque/adult pic, or fanart from Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy...I'm to scared to draw those Square Enix characters. X3

Here's some examples of past kiribans of what to expect for the 5k kiriban giftart!

500 Pageview Kiriban
1,000 Pageview Kiriban

Also, happy Valentine's Day even though it's probably over for most of you. I'm also sorry I haven't been answering hardly any of my messages. Please, forgive me people! I'm so sucked for time this semester. =_= bleh...

P.S. OH LORD! My computer (or I?) somehow sent this journal out like 7 times. I deleted the duplicates, so hopefully the extras didn't end up in your inboxes.

Mary

First off, I'm sorry I've been gone so long and haven't posted a journal in two months! Please forgive me you guys. College and other stuff have been keeping me really busy! O_o After I post this journal, I'm going to start answering my messages immediately. *promises*

Anyway, as you can see from the Shout Box, I'm still working on my Peace piccy. =_= I just can't seem to get it finished with all the stuff in my life in the way, and I'm almost completely out of motivation to work on it! So, as a last resort to motivate myself, I've decided to upload frequent updated WIP pictures to my webcam on my front page! So, go check it out if you want. I could post updates as often as once a week to once a day, because I'm really going to try to work on it this Christmas break. Please cheer me on you guys. I seriously need some motivation right now. I feel like my art sucks. =_= Artblock?...

Also, my friend Robert from my highschool joined DA! Here's his account . So, go drop by and say hey!

P.S. I've organized my gallery some...not that it's interesting. XD
