It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Pet peeeeves

Journal Entry: Tue Feb 16, 2010, 9:42 PM

How am I doing?
Well
it's the first week of my dad staying home without work.
Pretty quiet so far

I'm still really depressed about things though.
I want to get out of here so bad
but I can't

So I sulk, play wow, and sulk some more.
I've realized what really gets on my nerves though.  I've always been the angry type person, but I've finally figured out where it comes from.
I have an obsession with legitimacy.
_{okay maybe I knew about it before but it's really really been bugging me down lately}
I'm not sure if it's completely bad though, because often times I strive harder to perfect my skills.
More often though, it leads to nit picking at other people/thing's flaws.  I know it's not right to criticize people if they don't ask for it, so I usually keep it to myself.  But I can't stop my thought flow can I?

Things I don't really like, I can usually deal with.  Like excessive piercings, tattoos, people with wings (bat and feather), unnecessary gore, desu style, smokingg, characters on drugs, nosebleeds, angsty teenage love, penishappyyaoiweeboos, etc.  They're pet peeves of mine, and get on my nerves a lot; I think they're all tacky in their own ways.  Okay maybe I hate some of them, but I like to bottle it.

I can't stand being hypocritical though.  And the more I think about my pet peeves the more frustrated I get with myself (and a lot of my gallery).  sigh.
Such heavy art block I have right now.  Do you guys often get this feeling?
I don't want to submit anything until everything I make is actually finished...and...rid of annoying bits

but then everything is starting to annoy me lol;
idk, what are your pet peeves?  Does anyone else think nosebleeds are annoying? lol
(and please don't say "ARTISTS THAT BASH ON THEMSELVES LIKE YOU >BU" because that's one of my pet peeves too OTL OTL OTL)

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

... what exactly does legitimacy have to do with any of this?

it sounds more like you're spending too much time by yourself and you're kind of... caving in on yourself
and maybe becoming a tad anal retentive?

which i guess under these circumstances is to be expected, it sounds like you're pretty stressed out.

but... i think that while the things you listed might be annoying to you, they aren't really hurting you or impeding you or anything... they're just the things that other people like drawing/ looking at.

but lmao don't mind me, i guess it just kind of sucks to see someone say that they hate pretty much everything that i enjoy drawing lolol

~Kafai Mar 1, 2010

pfff I did not see this
earlier

BUT LIKE.
_{legitimacy part}
most of the things I listed, I may not think are completely heinous, but they become so overused/abused and caked with fakeness it drives me crazy. (particularly by teenage/preteen angsty-wannabe-attention-drag-things)
_{and then that is when they annoy me}

And then I start worrying about myself and if anyone else see -me- this way.
and then I get so caught up I just stop everything
orz

I've been quarantining myself so I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore. *__*
I don't mean to offend anyone who actually likes things I've listed...just needed to unload.

_{btw I like your little elfadoodle}

~SubmissiveDominance Feb 22, 2010

My pet peeve are freashmen and 6th graders that think they're so awesome just cuz they entered highschool/middle school. and yes I do realize that i am parshly flaming myself.
oh ya; on wednesdays for anime club if ashely isn't there and you really want to go home, I can take care of things again if you need me too.
Take care!

~Kafai Feb 22, 2010

ah ha ha
I totally get what you mean XD
It's okay.

anddd wednesday! I think I'll be able to make it this time, but I'll let you know if I can't lol.
Thanks for being such a big help :>

~SubmissiveDominance Feb 23, 2010

OMFG D:<

~spiritedaway-kaori Feb 17, 2010

my pet peeves...
-are when people act like they are your friends, but once you turn your back they gossip and talk crap about you...
-are when friends don't treat you as well as you do to them...
-are when 13 and 14 year olds have those dramatic school lives; friendship lost etc...
-are when kids act like sex, drugs, smoking and racism are actually cool. THEY ARE NOT!
-are when people do really long abbreviations like ABFFETAZA (Awesome Best Friends Forever Even Through A Zombie Apocalypse.)
-hypocrites (even though i am one.)
-haters that hate for no good reason.
-people that don't appreciate life.
-needles.

~saponin Feb 17, 2010

Nosebleeds are my favorite ): but I'm kind of fascinated with blood and the idea that your body is DRAINING IT it's like WOAH COOL to me
I've never had a nosebleed and I've always kind of wanted one lol
