Ah, retrospectivity. A long time ago, longer now it seems, there exists a place only found in your dre- oh wait no, this little lady came from the terrible minds of Kimothy and I, but has been resurrected as a cameo character in the comic. Her name is and always was Evana; she was the original main character of my comics for as long as I can remember attempting to make them, back when Kimothy was my co-writer. She was a rogue, then a shaman, then a druid, then a sorceress, then an illusionist, and then a wizard, in that order. Those were the days when Orea was only a sketch on college ruled paper, and a story in a leather-bound journal, when Orea was Evana's smart-mouth sidekick, accompanying the ever-changing character of Nathanial who I never wish to speak of ever again. But yes, Evana will probably be making an appearance or two in the comic, just because I can. :3NOW FOR THE BORING, NON-ART/COMIC RELATED STUFF.
My day: woke up, ate, went back to bed, woke up, ate, got dressed, got money and got abducted. By Logan no less, but no worries it was planned. We headed to the woodbridge mall in her hello-kitty mobile, no, I am not kidding, the innards are plastered with kawaii desu kittens and pink everywhere. But after being deafened by a Taylor Swift CD, we popped in some System of a Down and it was smooth sailing to the mall. Our main objective was to purchase as much Mana as we could afford, and thank the gods we didn't, but I'll address why later. Naturally, after my caffine-related needs were filled, I was dragged around by the leash from clothing store to clothing store, judging all the clothes and the people buying them. Though we did stop at a native-american-style store where I bought a celtic "Earth Connection" necklace, since they were out of Bear Totem necklaces. Then I was dragged around more until I started to bitch and complain that I was hungry and we got Cinnabons. Now here's where the humiliation starts. Logan then insisted we go in the photo booth and take pictures, as long as I didn't pay, I would reluctantly squeeze my rhino-esque frame in there. If a picture says a thousand words, be prepared for four thousand swear-words.
The first photo is the only one I can stand to look at, mostly because the manas I could fit in my gaping maw, blocked my hideous death-mask of a face. Also, regardless of how it may seem, I did not enjoy the licking I'm getting in the last photo. But after another hour or so, we left the mall and of course, forgot where we parked...in the freezing cold...with winds that want to shred us to ribbons. After realizing we were on the totally wrong side of the mall, we scampered around the perimeter of the mall, not having enough sense to go back inside. But the car-related problems only got better when Logan started to drive on the wrong side of the road. Though, the drive to dinner went better than expected, my knuckles weren't white from gripping the hand-rail but a bit of a pale-pinkish. So we arrive at U-Yee's, the most awesome sushi place evvaaarrr. Order 7 rolls of sushi, now seeing as a roll is 6 pieces, that's 42 pieces of sushi between the both of us, including a few extras that found their way onto our plate. We just ordered whatever had the coolest names, ninja roll, godzilla roll, the NUMBER ONE roll, and so on. Now here's why I'm glad I didn't raid the mall of their manas. When it came time to pay, we expected the same price we had when it was Logan, Sam and I. It was twice that amount and neither of us were prepared. Logan was having a mental-breakdown in the bathroom while I had my outsides in Calm, Cool, Collected mode, but was going through a lesser degree of a breakdown than Logan was. We emptied our wallets and pockets, pooled our money and had literally just enough to cover the bill. Then I had to listen to an hour of apologizing on Logan's part for making me cover the majority of the bill. That was all she was doing on the drive back to my house. But naturally, once home, my home, Logan decides she's going to pull up a chair, get comfortable and stay a while. We played Spyro, since Spyro was voiced by her celebrity man-crush, Frodo Baggins. Then when that got boring, we turned on my blue ray of Coraline, and got a quarter of the way through before she had to run off.
And that, despite how negative it may sound, was not only the best day of winter break, but an awesome start to 2010. IT CAN ONLY GO DOWNHILL FROM HERE!
