So. I'm workin' on trying to upload this dang voice clip I recorded. But...dial-up. Oh, but I do still have this one from a long time ago that only like, three people have ever heard before. Also, on Sunday, I'm gonna record a song. Have fun feeling your ears asplode, guys.

And apparently me an' "da guys" aka "that one guy and also a chick" are trying to write our own song. It's not going very well so far.

Also, HMB: The Board is back! Sort of.

And as you may have suspected from my latest "artwork", I watch H*R again. In fact, I mirrored almost the entire site now. Surprisingly, it didn't take that long. I was surprised.

I've finished Series 2 of the designs. But I'm gonna make you all wait longer. I have a few minor adjustments to make anyway. Meanwhile, I swear, I'm going to get started on that new ID! Seriously! I'll finally get around to it!

Also, I'm searching for some kinda FREE Internet Service Provider. Like, a dial-up one, that I can just download somewhere without having to do any kind of filling forms out and stuff. Y'know, just in case Mom finally shuts her AOL account down. So far my search hasn't worked very well. Ah well, I'll keep trying.

FINALLY! The moment nobody's been waiting for! I finally show you guys some stuff I drew! The real reason behind my not submitting anything for a while...LARGE...FILE...SIZES. On a dial-up connection. Then Psy tells me to try JPG instead. Wow. I feel amazingly stupid trying to use BMP.

Things to notice on the picture: Nick is paler than everyone else, I'm horrible at drawing animals, Thom's sword is supposed to be a katana (plus it's a homage to Sephiroth's Masamune), aaaaand as for that smiley face on Smithy's shirt...uhh...I dunno what I was thinking there. I guess I just didn't want him to have a regular t-shirt like Thom, so I just threw something on. I dunno. But yeah, you may notice Nick is also a whole lot hotter now. BLUE HAIR.

Series 2 is on its way. I've already drawn the first character, and am working on the second. Unfortunately, they aren't looking very good. Maybe I'm rushing it too much. And also, my hands are shaky, so that's why my lines are always kinda wavy like that. Seriously. Unable to steady my hands.

Ooh, my birthday's September 1st. Get me something. ^_^ Just kiddin'. Well, not really. Anyway, I'ma go read someone's "blugg" now. Mwahaha.

Bye.

Okay, the psychoticness is dying down, sorta. Good.

Macen came up today! We did cool stuff.

The other day, I got my training for my library volunteering. It might actually be pretty fun.

Hey, Mr. KN the computer-genius-man, my laptop's going screwy. I think I broked it. It like, has 25.2 GB left, but like...when I try to save stuff/install programs, it says I don't have no more disk space. It won't even let me run ScanDisk/defrag.

...been playin' video games again. That's pretty much it.

Oh, and my Mom said that I'll never have kids because nobody wants me. Unfortunately, she's right. ;_;

You may have noticed I've been lacking on commenting on stuff a lot lately. Well, before you start like, punching me repeatedly, lemme explain. Uhh...I have to sneak online. And I only get like, four hours a day for this. So my online life is severely dying. But you knew that already, so...whatev.

HUG ME.

Okay, I'm done now. For now. Bow-wow.

<3 Nick Ba- Uhh...okay, screw it. This footer's starting to suck. See y'alls.

Just when ya thought things were goin' good, I start bein' psychotic. And that's in addition to my depression, too. Earlier, when I was doin' my regular non-paying yet non-volunteered work for Mom, I suddenly started crying for no reason. Well, actually, there was a reason. Some voices in my head were telling me that going to Hell is nothing compared to having to live the rest of my life without...uhh...being happy. That logic is...kinda lacking. I mean, if I went to Hell, wouldn't it be like, eternal havin'-yer-pants-set-on-fire-type agony? But still, I kinda agree. I know I shouldn't, though. Then this one voice was soundin' kinda PO'd. He was all "Everyone else live perfect lives and end up with their soul mates an' be happy forever. After all you've been through with the abusive mom and stuff, you deserve to be happy, but when you finally meet your soul mate, you can't have her! Life is unfair!" Yes. Yes it is.

Irregardless (hehe bad grammar), I might be okay. Uhh...hang on. I need to change the topic now. Uhhh...oh. Looks like HMB: Teh Board got shut down. Crap. Hmm, guess we're gonna need to start up a new gathering place. Oh, and my community service is gonna be at a library. I don't know what I'm gonna be doing exactly, but I have two hours of training tomorrow. Well, today actually, 'cause it's after midnight. Uhh...what else...? Uhhhmmmmmmmm.... no, that's probably it.
