The post title is always WRONG

I've had a long, hard, unproductive day today. I only barely remembered today was an update day.

I don't feel good, so all I'm going to say is... see how many times you can work this into a conversation:

"The _____ is always wrong!"

You watch... soon everything is always wrong!

Saint Patrick's Day Rant

Today is Saint Patrick's Day! It's the one day of the year where everyone you meet is suddenly Irish, people wear green clothing, people say annoying phrases they think are witty, and meanwhile I am sitting quietly in my corner listening to Celtic and not wearing green.

I appreciate any holiday- it's important to appreciate holidays, rather than accidentally offend someone -and St. Patrick's Day is no exception. The only problem I have with it is, why isn't it during the school week? There have been weekday St. Patrick's Days in the past, yes, but I've never gotten them off from school.

Saint Patrick's Day should be during the week. That way, I can declare it a holiday due to my (year round) Irish heritage, and take school off. Just ask any high schooler- they'd agree with me. Maybe the teachers too. After all, who doesn't want a day off?

Another quibble. On Saint Patrick's Day, suddenly everyone you meet claims Irish heritage, even if you're pretty sure they're not. Those who really do have an Irish heritage aren't taken seriously. Finally, it all come down to having a time machine. Go back in time, find your ancestors, and see if they live in Ireland. Then come talk to me.

Annoying phrases are annoying. It's simple, however redundant that statement was. "Top 'o the morning!" is the most common one. You wouldn't say that the rest of the year, would you? You would say, "Good morning", or if you're like me, "Guten morgen." I don't even think Irish people say "Top o' the morning!" regularly.

I forget where I was going with this, but none of it applies to leprechauns. So if you are a leprechaun with Internet, then disregard all of the above. You have a good excuse to say or do anything I've complained about. Just don't come anywhere near my house. I have a gun.

That is all.

Edit: Yes, yes, I changed the background. I wanted it to be spring-like, but I couldn't find one I liked. So, space! I like this one. It may or may not become permanent.

Finally, a normal post!

After a very successful closing to the graphic novel, the 60k mark on a novel, and several other giant projects coming to a close... (hey, check it out- my 100th post!) ...I have begun planning for April. April 1st, to be precise.

Not only is April 1st a day of pranks, but it is also the fourteenth birthday of a certain trickster. I will enjoy writing his birthday immensely. (I bet you didn't know that I've been writing with Frg since he was ten years old. Now he's turning fourteen!)

In other news, I am experimenting with doing artwork in MS Paint. Take a look:

I have some news, my dear blog readers. I finished editing 'Freedom's Eyes', and it is now 60,500 words long. Over the next few months, I will be editing it like mad. My goal is to be published by December 2012.

I know what you're thinking. "So... the world is going to end because you're published?"

Anyway, for the last two graphic novel pages!

I now interrupt your mindless internet browsing for a novel update.

I have finished my novel.

Rayon's novel, that is.

Ok, yes, I took some short cuts with the second half of this page. Give me a break- I was drawing all nine of the Magical World Warriors! Also, this is the only pic where I actually drew Wütend right.
