doodles and squeaks

It's been a while since I drew anything on Tegaki, it felt good lol. This time I was listening to "nazonazo" by RADWIMPS, which means "riddle" in Japanese. I love this band, it's one of my favorites. *u*

自分が描きたい絵を描くのはひさしぶり。。。

いつもどうりのヴェサちゃんとシルヴェンです。

RADWIMPS の「謎謎」を聞いていたら何かこんな感じになりました。

いつもに比べたらちょっとシュールだな。

I feel I've been neglecting my poor Hei-chan AKA my longboard. I was calling it Dubhán before but over time it also adopted the names "Hei-chan," "Shizu-chan" (as in Heiwajima Shizuo from Drrr!) and "Kohe" (as in Nanamatsu Koheita from Nintama Rantarou). I've gotten used to screaming "ikedo~~n!!!!" when speeding down a hill thanks to this name.

最近ロンスケにあまり乗らなくなりました。

ずっと雨の日が続いてなかなか乗れません。

湿気を避けるためにガレージからクローゼットへお引っ越し！

気がつけばボードは友達にいろんな名前をつけられています。

最近は「平ちゃん」や「静ちゃん」、さらに「コヘ」など。。。

...I think these are pretty accurate names lol. Both male characters who go on random rampages and are difficult to stop. I love to speed but I'm bad at braking, and I've had experience where I almost ran over some drunk sorority girls on campus. My friends who come up with these names are amazing. :)

平和島静雄と七松小平太。。。二人ともすごいキャラだな。笑

私がスピードを出してるくせにブレーキが苦手と言うとこから付けられたらしい。

部活ではロンスケ歴の長い先輩に無理矢理止めてもらうときもある。（と言うより止まれなくなったときに助けてもらう）

さらに私は過去に酔っぱらいの女子大学生の集団をロンスケで引きそうになった事がある。

最近は猛スピードで坂を下るとき無意識に「イケド〜〜〜〜〜ン！！！」と叫ぶくらい。

どうしてくれるんだK子、コレじゃ私はただの変人じゃないか！？

Lately I've been having issues with extremely loud squeaking from the trucks. I tried the soap in pivot cups method but it isn't working so far. Maybe I'm not using enough soap? I'll just keep trying I guess. Does anyone have problems like this or is it just me? I use Paris 150mm trucks...

Done with School!!!

:EDIT: sorry about all the edits guys, but I've been having some issues with the formatting. Argh! I hope you don't mind. ):

Ahhhh! Finally done with exams and school. Summer break, here I come! I plan to do a lot of art and crafts during break and update my etsy store more often. To kick it off, here's some doodles I did while I was trying to

de-stress from final exams:

Talking with some of my friends has brought up some really nostalgic things, like what TV show we watched as a kid. Out of the list someone mentioned Gensomaden Saiyuki and I squealed like the silly fangirl I am from remembering a pretty significant part of my childhood. After that we commenced sharing who was our favorite of the four protagonists (mine being Gojyo, he will always have a special place in my heart lol) and the fact that I apparently resemble Hakkai the most when it comes to my personality according to my friends. (vicious with a sweet smile! D8< ) The idea stuck with me and I sketched Hakkai on Tegaki-E first, then I couldn't leave the other 3 behind. I still have to clean up Hakkai's version though, since his drawing was a sketch and I took more time on the others.

I've found Tegaki-E to be a really good place to jot down ideas for future drawings and such. I think I'll be there more often now that I have the time... but I really need to make some more substantial things! I have a lot of leftover yarn from previous projects, and I'm thinking I'll make some scrunchies with them. Lacy and fluffy chouc

hou's (that's what they are referred to in Japan. Personally I think that's a much nicer name than "scrunchies") are popular in Japanese girl's fashion lately. Here's some that I found on Yahoo shopping that were just adorable!

I think my leftover cotton-candy-pink brushed yarn will make a nice one. :) I can't wait to start!

Finals!

I have 3 final exams and the semester is over! While taking a little break from studying I started working on my unfinished drawing (also shown in my last update) on Tegaki again. I still have a little more until it's finished but I really should get back to studying. I guess I'll let it sit for a bit longer before it finally becomes a finished drawing. :)

Study Time

Whoa long time no update! Finals is coming up and all my final projects/essays are due... which is not the best time to be blogging but oh well. :)

I'm sitting at Panera, sipping my frozen mocha any typing my last essay for my comparative world literature class. I'm hoping I get it done by the time I run out of coffee and scones -____-;;

Enjoy some scribbles that I drew on Te

gaki while I took a break from studying! Drawing is such a good stress reliever ~~<3

後少しで夏休み！

でも一番勉強が大変なときでもある。

と言う訳で今日はおとなしくカフェでコーヒーを飲みながら勉強。。。

この店のオレンジスコーンはやっぱりおいしいな〜☆

ついでに落書きを少々。。。

勉強しすぎて気晴しが欲しいときに何かインスピレーションとか湧きますよね。汗

彼は誰と戦っているんでしょうね〜。相手を見たい方はこちらへ： http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=34999

まだ描き終わってない。

と言うより続きを描きたい。。。でも勉強がぁ！！！　涙

AAAHHH I want to finish this drawing so bad! But I have to study!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! :)

I didn't have a special someone to spend time with this Valentines Day (boohoo lol who cares. just have fun!!) but I helped my roommate with a surprise birthday party for her friend. I feel like I did almost all of the work getting our dorm room ready though... she wasn't even home till noon. Oh well there was good chocolate cake so it's ok. The ganache we made did not work out properly since my roommate put in too much cream when I wasn't looking, so it's more of a glaze now. I swear I told her we're only making 2/3 of the recipe... but she never listens to me when it comes to following directions. But we figured out it goes great with clementines/tangerines whatever those little oranges are called. (I seriously can't tell the difference between them) Interesting combo that we will enjoy for a few more days.

I have a lot of homework left now that I finished most of the cleaning up afterwards. Time to cram for exams!!
