Omgomgomg, my cello came in, all brand-spanking new. So I set up the bridge, tuned the ho, whipped out old books and sheet music, and realised how rusty I was D: D: D: How depressing. However, this will not stop me, and I will continue to play c:

IN OTHER NEWS
Sooo...it's March, and I kinda put off alot of art-works and trades and stuff on hold because B-B-BAM: I'm working on that Rockman doujinshi you might remember me giving the teaser of before. I've edited that page that I put up in my gallery, and continued on. Now I have a front page, and 6 pages c: I hope you will support it when it comes out, even if you're not a Rockman fan.
And I'm not the only one doing this! , fellow members from the Etank RP group are doing it as well! If I left anyone out, lemme know c:

IN OTHER OTHER NEWS
I've been trying to breed my betta fish. By try, I mean I got one male, then I bought a new fish tank and put four females in it. However, because of the lengths of the cords, I can't put the new tank next to my old tank....so.....yeah. I don't how I can showcase the females to him and see who he's interested in :T And I accidentally destroyed his bubblenest the other night; I felt so bad :<

RANDOM WORLD OF GAMES
HOLY CRAP. This Sunday, Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver will finally be released in America! I preordered my copies back at the beginning of January, and have been awaiting these games since the news was leaked back in April of 2009 on a Japanese television program. I've been waiting patiently methinks, and the wait is about to pay off!
GameStop in town is opening early to accommodate the excited fans who preordered, and you can bet yourself that I will probably camp out in my car in front of the store :T
I'm not even kidding.

RANDOM WORLD OF MANGA
First off, I'm excited for the Pokemon Special manga franchise (the Pokemon manga franchise that followed the games stories, while creating its own. For the other series released in America based off the anime, see "Dengeki Pikachu" or "The Electric Tale of Pikachu". Viz was originally releasing the Pokemon Special series in America under the name "Pokemon Adventure", but stopped half-way through the Pokemon Yellow saga. However, they re-released the original volumes (while editing them D: ) and are continuing the Special series all the way up to the Pokemon Gold and Silver sagas! I'm so excited! If they keep this up, they might release the Ruby and Sapphire sagas as well in the future (they're already releasing the Diamond and Pearl sagas in English).

Also, a newer company named Udon Entertainment (the company I bought my Megaman and Megaman X art books from) is releasing the English version of Hitoshi Ariga's Rockman MegaMix!! If you recognise his name, it's because he also did The Big O's manga series as well. The 1st volume is already out, so if you're a manga fan, and love Rockman, check it out!

Welp, that's it for today, I suppose. I'm going to get my ass back into gear and start working on my Rockman doujin, and hopefully you'll see it soon c:

Until next time~
-Jon

And feel horrible.
So how's everybody doing?
I hope you're looking forward to Spring Break as much as I am! I'm doubly excited because Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver are coming out the Sunday before it~! I'm just trying to figure out when I'll have time to play it because a few good friends have invited me to do junk, and I don't know which junk I'ma do D:

In other news, I regained my art laziness. I don't know why. I'm like "Oh, man, I should totally draw...." but then I don't. And I have all this junk I should do. Urgh. I played Pocket Monsters Heart Gold earlier to procrastinate drawing, but I fell asleep doing so (I have the Japanese rom, which I downloaded on accident looking for the OST D: )

I feel like bullocks. Is that a word to feel like? Oh, yeah, and I just remembered that I should finish a project before Monday. Poo flakes. Can you tell I'm typing half-asleep yet? Goodness. Also, I found out that I can't purchase my cello until next Monday. eff....

I have so many deviations and messages to look through on here again, but I will hopefully clear them out by today or something. I look forward to going through your guys's artwork and reading your messages c:

Btw...IT'S HOT. WTF. Come back snow! Jon misses you!!!
I guess I should do something productive now.
If you're curious to see how far along I am in my art, you can always find it on my page. I'm a try to knock some of the requests and art-trades I have before working on anything else. Maybe.

Until next time~
-Jon

...because I'm not going to give back the wasted life you spend reading it C:

First 10 people to comment get a feature for the month. Yaye.
I need to go through and feature a choice group of people one day...maybe next month :T
But yeah. Feature Feature.


Update: The 10 have answered to the calling (wtf??)
Anywho, please so look at their artwork and support them!
If you didn't get it this month, there's always next month c:

I was kinda sad today D:
I had a guppy of 3 years living in a small 5 gallon fish tank in my bedroom pass away today when I decided to clean out his tank after...well...3 years. The tank originally held 7; 5 that died when I switched bedrooms about 2 years ago or so, and then one that mysteriously disappeared (no bones or body was found, it was really weird...) about a year ago. So that left me with the last one who finally died today :T
So I went out and bought a blue Betta fish. (I wanted to get the metallic looking one, but the blue on looked more healthy, since I was getting them at Wal-Mart D: ). I named him Brett Bretterson.

Also, my ポケモンひけるかな? CD set came in recently. It's so cool. It has a CD with different orchestrations of the music used in the original Pokemon games (Gree, Red, Blue and Yellow, respectively), and then comes with an 86 page music book. And it uses all of the original game art. So epic. But my ポケモン元気いっぱい! CD hasn't come in yet, and it was supposed to come in on the 23. Fail.

Also, to the E-tank folks, I miss you guys D: I wanna go participate, but there's so many open RPs at the moment, it's overwhelming ;n; I'll be back someday (if you didn't notice I was gone lol)

The MegaMan doujinshi will be coming along again now that I found my tablet pen, but I still gotta finish some other stuff first. But it's looking soOoOo good for now. I hope that when I finish it, you guys'll think it's hellatight. But until then, I must work on it.

Oh yeah, I'm totally buying a cello. Epicness. I don't know if I mentioned that before, but I'm totally going to do it. I want a cello and the entire series of the PowerPuff Girls. C: But I really gotta save up my money because I finally made the decision to transfer out after summer classes, and move out. It will save me money in the end if I do it now. Well, I'll get back to work on stuff later, and I hope everyone's doing great c:

Until next journal,
~Jon

P.S. If anyone, and I mean ANYONE, can help me figure out how to access my NetGear router's WEP and SSIN and all that, I would be eternally grateful. I wanted to go wi-fi today to battle ~KamekMan, and I couldn't because I'M FUCKING COMPUTER RETARDED. Please, someone who knows computers, get back to me D: >
