Bye for now...Sorry guys, I had really hoped to be done my work before deployment this year, but it came up so fast... :(
Well, for those of you who don't know, I recently collaborated with Michelle Creber (voice of Apple Bloom... Duh) on my own rendition of... A mystery song...
I had really hoped to be around for the release, but it looks like I'm gonna miss it by just a few hours... :(
I'll be at sea until March 22nd, so no download until then unfortunately... (Unless I can get some decent internet and the time to work on youtube upload while underway. For those of you who have served, you probably have a good idea of how likely that is. :P )
It is now 0350.
I leave at 0600.
Sorry guys, I really am. :(

P.S. THANK YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WITHES!! :tighthug: I wish wish WISH I had time to thank you all personally, but I don't... :sniff:
Please know that I am so thankful and truly touched by your kindness!
Not just on my birthday, but every day!
You guys are the r
Don't you forget about me...Well guys, this is it... In a few hours, I leave for this years three month deployment... :salute:
For those of you that don't know, I am in the US Navy, and every year around summertime, my command deploys on a +/-three month tour of duty called CARAT. (Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training) During which we train with multiple countries militaries in the eastern hemisphere.
This year, I will get to visit Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, Cambodia, the Philippines, and a few others whose names escape me at the moment... :P (For those of you may be interested, I often post photos of my CARAT shenanigans in my "This is my Life" gallery folder! :D )
While I am excited as always, I am also pretty bummed, because I will most likely not have time to complete any more animations, songs, or vectors until I get back... :tears:
I will, of course, resume animating the moment I return! In the meantime th
Rarylicious?...Well guys, I just messaged Tabitha st. Germain about doing Rarylicious... I won't go into details, but here was the first response I received:
I say, Old Horse
The thing is I balk at the idea of copying a fellow pony. That would make me the same. A pony might call me 'Samey-same-pants from-Sameville' and not be entirely wrong. The word Rarity, means 'unique' as I'm sure you are aware. The word Meme, if you add a little hat over the 'e' actually means 'same' in French-- the language of love... and cheese sauce. Speaking of sauce, the suffix 'licious' is outright foody to my ear.
And is one a potato? One is not.
Which is to say, thanks awfully for your kind offer and I'll think about it.
I do wish there was something fitting that rhymed with diamond.
Yours, ever,
R.
She eventually broke character and we are talking normally now. She's a brilliantly funny person and I definitely smell a new meme cooking up...
Keep your eyes peeled... ;)
No more Gaia Art!I wanted to let you know that I will take no more commissions on Gaia Online because for some art pieces I worked very hard for I just
got the rudest comment ever about my art! what an asshole, he can try that himself now grr :(
So he wanted a tatoo design of a poliwhirl holiding a gun ( wtf, right?) and I promised to reserve the rights on altering the drawing if he doesn't like the pose.
He said it's a stickmen poliwhilr drawing with a gun slapped on it. Ok admittedly I can't draw guns but a this point my pride as an artist get damaged. My
art is definitely better than being described a stick men standart, what and absolute cue8t499w69Q@!!!!!!!!
Sorry, ranting is nice sometimes...
Lost list of requests.Well, fuck.
Lost the list of requests I had to do.
Talk to me if you have a request(s). Cause I lost track of all of them.
This week is starting to suck massive dick.
I tried being positive, it's going down the toilet along with everything else.
So yeah, note me or comment or text or whatever you need to do to alert me of something I should be writing
No computer for a whileI don't know how long I am going to be without the computer for all because My universal computer charger has packed up altogether. It turns out it was making a strange noise when it is plugged in and also the rubbery bit of the wire is loose. So that means I have to buy a new charger for my laptop and yes, it hasn't got a battery. Don't ask why because it's such a long story that happened to me two years ago.
I don't know exactly when I will manage to get a new laptop charger. So that means possibly for the next fee days I won't be able to be on here. That means I won't be able to comment or answer any responses at all. So I will be behind my messages for a while so please don't be passed off or think I'm ignoring you. It's just one of those that can't be helped.
So yeah, I will see all of you when I come back, hopefully with a new charger.
New Year, New goals.First off, Happy 2013! :D
We made it through the massive hoax of the ending world rumors yet again. ouo
For goals this new year, I just have two.
First, to be more positive.
I feel like that one might do some wonders.
Second, edit everything I've written so far & continue to improve my writing at the same time.
Which might take me some time, but I find that the outcome will be wonderful, considering all the updates will be caught up with the way I write currently.
Imagery be mah middle name. :meow:
Anywho, what are all you guys going to do to celebrate the new year? :iconbigmeowplz:
Favorite Zelda GameHeya, folks! Time to finally submit a journal that isn't "group related". In other words, I'd like to get to know some our members a little better. And what better way to do that than ask a Zelda related question within a group of Zelda dedicated fans?
So, I would like to ask you all:
Which Zelda game is your favorite? Why is it your favorite?
Hope you all have fun with this discussion! :D
*BadassSheik92 - Group Founder
Critique me, remind me, suggest to me and ask memei want your opinion. what is a weak point in my art? what should i practice on? how can i improve?
i know one area is nature or any other landscape scene, but what else? i want honesty here.
-
if i owe you a commission or something please note me. earlier i went and mindlessly deleted all my notes :/
-
what zelda enemy would you like to see me draw next? im in the mood for more zelda baddie goodness :D
-
and finally is a ask me anything meme. got a question about anything for me just ask and i shall answer.
We have a problem yet again.[Ultra special rant]So, I figured out something on that whole report thing from last week.
It's not only happened to me lately, but they have been cracking down on EVERYONE.
I find it idiotic.
A friend of mine made a VERY valid point earlier: They'll allow all sorts of nudity on this website but they won't allow LITERATURE? Both should be recognized as equal...
I hate that pictures are more regarded than our lit-writing community.. Why, WHY does it have to be that way? Why can't it just be equal..?
Yes, pictures may be worth a thousand words, but my 'lemon' contained 2,141 words!
Compare THAT to your nude pictures!
It is just BEYOND ridiculous.
Now, I'm not one for revenge or whatnot...
But if it comes down to it,
standing up to these people seems like a good idea if this continues. In peaceful manners, that is..
Seriously though.
This is not fair..
Not Dead Yet Battlefront!Well, I was fine when I woke up this morning, but I had a headache so I took some Ibuprofen and a Acetaminophen and that made the headache go away. I lasted until my World Cultural Geography class which ended at 3:00. When I returned to my room, within 2-3 minutes, I was running a high fever and was experiencing pain all over my body along with a headache that felt like I'd been slugged in the head. I attempted a nap but couldn't fall asleep due to the fever and after an hour, I hit the shower and blasted myself with hot water to warm up. When my stomach decided that it didn't need to clench from the cold anymore, I threw up my breakfast. I then hit the bed again, wearing about 3 layers of thick clothes, determined to be warm. At 6:00, I took more acetaminophen and ibuprofen so that I could hopefully bring the fever of 103.9F down. Unfortunately, it didn't work and at approximately 7:00 I was running 104.4F, and was chauffeured to the ER by a friend of the family. The doctor saw me and
A Birthday, A hurricane, and an Idol.First topic: Birthday.
Thank you everyone who wished meh a happy birthday. I've never seen so many people wish me happy birthday on DA before so I felt a bit complimented by that... ^^;
I got nomnoms from Olive Garden, my mom came down from Maine to see me, and I had a pretty good day overall... One of my friends from school though made it suckish with her douche-like comments though.
But I digress, ignoring that will be best for now. :D
Second topic: Hurricane.
There's a hurricane heading my way. I already don't have school tomorrow & I did mah special 'no school' dance. :icongangnamstyleplz:
That means more sleeping, eating, and writing profanity.
Beautiful, beautiful profanity...
Third topic: Idol.
Recently, I've come to idolize someone here on DeviantART. She's an author AND a historian. Right up my alley right there. :D It disappoints me though that she probably thinks I'm some weeboo. I'm really not. I just like Hetalia & to have it surround me on DA, because it's something that

ONE MONTH LEFT!! + Pretty cool news!

:iconblackgryph0n:

Children of DA, Bronies, Calligraphy enthusiasts, Friends all; I bid thee good morrow!
I am sitting in bar on a Navy Base in Singapore, writing to inform you all of two rather awesome thingies:

ONE:
I WILL BE BACK ONLINE (animating, writing songs, answering messages, drawing pictures) IN T minus TWENTY SEVEN DAYS!! :la:

Yes yes, deployment is nearly over for me! I have been in six countries so far, and I only have two more working ports to go before I fly back to glorious, Internet laden Japan!! :happycry: Again, you can find a few pictures of me and my travles here: [link]

TWO:
Y'all know about that brony documentery coming up? The one we raised over $348,000 for? The one spearheaded by John De-Lancie, Tara Strong, and Lauren Faust themselves?
Well, while I don't know if I will be in it yet, (probably not) I was contacted directly by one of the producers and asked if I wouldn't mind having my song "Proud to be a Brony" featured in the documentery!! :squee:
Of course I said; "NO WAY IT'S ALL MINE YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!!" :iconseriousfaceplz:
LOL! I keed, I keed!...
I told them I would be honored! That said, I will be remixing it a bit... Just a bit. Namely, there are a few things I wanna change about the vocals... (It was recorded a long time ago, in a barracks room full of people trying to sleep... :blush:) I have my own appartment now, so nothing can impeed me from SHOUTING IT OUT FOR ALL WORLD TO HEAR!!! :dummy:

Before I go, a few updates:
- Pinkaliscious is on it's way! I am nearly finished with the animation and am waiting only on my Voice Actress. I should have it out to you by this weekend! (I'm excited about this one! I love Pinkie Pie! :D )
- I am kinda looking for a good Rainbow Dash sound alike (other than Erica from Epic Cupcake Time) so if you can do it, shoot me a note or something!
- I will be taking leave in Madison Alabama from July 24th to August 6th and would love to meet another brony face to face... Just saying... :)

OK, well it's about that time. In closing I wanna say that I miss you guys and I can't wait to get back to being online nightly! Your like my second family! I love you all!! :huggle:
Oh yeah, and for those of you who have been asking, yes; I am autistic... ;)

Peace out!

You live in Madison? How far is that from Birmingham? Or Vestavia Hills?

It's too bad you didn't say Madison, Wisconsin instead. Drat.

If you can't use Erica, you could just call up Ashleigh Ball.
