This is mainly to get that annoying April Fool's journal off my page (getting stale fast).

In other news:
It is officially May (duh). Only 20 more days until Prom, more than a month until Graduation. (Magi-Kat's May look will be loosely based on my prom dress. As for what it really looks like... well, only one person on dA will truly know that).

Pardon my lack of art and such as school (and a certain RP led by ~LemGambino and ~Retro7) were distracting me. I planned to take a hiatus until mid-cycle (it's Fourth Cycle as of April 21, the last cycle of the year) but with my chipper mood (and seeming inability to leave), it'll take some extra effort.

Another reason for my lack of new art is how, despite my sketching, I can't be arsed to go through with a new inking and coloring style ([link]) *shakes fist at Lem*. Another factor is how sometimes, due to my perfectionist nature (which I'm trying to tone down), I end up dissatisfied with my art (that's why it took so long for me to get a new ID). This is bad since I want to make a new comic series (you can guess what it is), among other things.

Went to an anime convention in Hoboken with my school's anime club a few weeks ago. Gotten myself lots of Japanese candy, ramune, a Hatsune Miku T-shirt, and a Star Guide plushie *huggles it*. I DO regret not getting a button of a Gothic Lolita and G1 Bumblebee (courtesy of Lemiisan, my own curiosity, and "Transformers: Animated" (which is a rather corny name for the show since there was ALREADY an animated Transformers series, should've stuck with the original name), I've become a minor Transfan with Bumblebee being my Starscream. At least... until Prowl dethroned him as my fave (ninjas rule!). He's still the Prince of Moe though).

While Caramelldansen is okay, it cannot beat Anataboshi!

A few months ago, my Creative Writing (now Journalism) teacher entered a short story I wrote as a homework assignment into a contest. To my surprise, I won first place in Short Story! :woot: In addition to attending a ceremony, all participants were welcome to select some books from a table. Well, the newest additions to my collection were:
Dracula by Bram Stoker (which I'm reading to this day. I blame the RP, especially Richie)
War of the World by H.G. Wells
Animal Rescue (Various authors)
Princess of Mars by Edgar Rich Burroughs (I'm just curious)
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift

In addition to trying to break away from my fanartist image here at dA, I'm trying to expand my horizons as far as my blog is concerned. Jeez, I just want to expand everywhere!

And that's pretty much it... Kat's nth ramble has been complete! (Me want the Cloverfield DVD NOW!)
