In which I draw, spaz, and get sick

I fail so hard. The last time I posted was what, July 12? SORRY ABOUT THAT. My brain is on summer mode- I don't do anything unless it's related to Avatar: The Last Airbender (but only watching or drawing) or seeing my friends (but only sometimes) or reading a new book (but only if I really like it).

Basically, summer mode = empty space where brain is supposed to be.

Since I start school on the freakishly early date of August 18 (ridiculous, right?) at the ungodly hour of 7:30 AM (torturous, right?), I'm going to have to shape up soon.

In regards to drawing:

In case you guys didn't know, I have a deviantART account. I'm getting better at actually putting up some of my art, but I don't have a ton. Right now, I have a couple new ones, because it's Zutara Week. For those of you who don't watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, you can just skip down to the part about me being sick. For those of you who do watch, keep reading. You may or may not find this interesting. Or boring. Whichever. >_>

Zutara Week started this past Monday and continues on until Sunday. Even though it's Day 5, I'm still in the middle of my Day 4 comic. (Fail much?) If any of you are bothering to devWATCH me, I'm going to color in my Day 2 submission later on, after ZW ends and I have more time.

Chatspeak alert!

MOAR TIEM. I NEEDZ IT NAO.

For those of you who don't watch ATLA, Zutara is a shipping term. For Zuko and Katara. Yeah. It's pretty intense.

In regards to spazzing:

I have two reasons to spaz.

Every day of this past week (Zutara Week), when I log in to dA, I have more than TWO HUNDRED new messages in my inbox.

WHAT. THE. HECK.

Yup. We Zutara shippers are devoted.

This morning was a new record- 368 new messages, four of which were actual messages and 364 of which were notices about new artwork in the ZW group. CRAZINESS.

Another reason to spaz:

Since I'm in the ZW group and all, this gives me an actual opportunity for other people to see my work. I keep getting comments and views and faves and...

OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO AMAZING I'M SO HAPPY IF YOU GUYS EVER READ THIS SUPER MEGA THANK YOUUUUUU FOR TAKING FIVE SECONDS TO LOOK AT MY ART INSTEAD OF JUST SKIPPING OVER ALL THREE HUNDRED MESSAGES LIKE I DO SOMETIMES EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

*cough* I'm done.

In regards to getting sick:

Yeah, this morning I woke up feeling all sluggish and lethargic and generally gross. So much for going on that college tour. On the bright side, I have more time to draw!

Blog again soon!

A small excuse for a blog post

So my best friend sends me this link with a very vague and confusing description.

What I thought it would be: Some really random video with a guy jumping up and down in a banana suit or something.

What it was: A 20 Questions-type game in which you can use any character. It tries to guess who you're thinking of...

...and it's almost always RIGHT. It's one of the freakiest websites I've ever found (in a good way), and it's actually kind of awesome.

And to prove its freakish accuracy, I present our (meaning my friend and I) combined results! They're organized alphabetically by first name, just because I'm OCD like that.

Characters it guessed correctly
~Aang (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
~Alice (American McGee's Alice)
~Darren Shan (Cirque du Freak)
~Ender (Ender's Game)
~Jin (LOST)
~Larten Crepsley (Cirque du Freak)
~Nudge (Maximum Ride)
~Percy Jackson (Percy Jackson and the Olympians)
~Steve Leopard (Cirque du Freak)
~Toph Bei Fong (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
~Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Characters it couldn't guess
~Max Vandenberg (The Book Thief)
~Kat Bishop (Heist Society)

And yes, Toph has a last name. Who knew? (I DID!) Yes, it IS Bei Fong. Technically, since Avatar takes place in long-ago Asia (probably), she'd be announced as Bei Fong Toph, but that's just me being nitpicky and Asian.

Oops. Again.

Hi, my name is Nightshade, and I'm ridiculously forgetful.

AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. I haven't posted here since... uh... okay, it says June 13. EPIC FAILURE.

I am SUPER SUPER SUPER sorry I haven't posted! I was actually on vacation for a week, but for the rest of the time, I was just being a procrastinator/forgetter. Oops.

Anyway, just a small update because it's 11 PM and I don't have much time-- I'll update more soon, I promise! I'll virtual-pinky swear! *pinky swears*

Peace out, Girl Scout!
