Haven't updated my journal in quite some time, so there's plenty to add, woohoo!

-------------------

Commissions:  I didn't accept them before.  I do now.  Commission info can be found here:  [link] you're interested, please do have a look.  

-------------------

Conventions:  I'm going to Anime Expo again this summer.  (Yay!) I'm on a waiting list for an artist alley table, so I'm not sure if I'll actually get one or not.  I'll keep my fingers crossed on that.  But even if I don't get a table, I'm still headed over for the convention.  I hope to meet some nice DA people there.

-------------------

Contests:  For the third year now, I'm running a Rurouni Kenshin Fanart Contest at my RuroKen fansite.  This year's theme:  Friends & Enemies.  The contest will run from May 25, 2006 to July 31, 2006.  For more info, click here:  [link]

-------------------

Other things:  I'm graduating from grad school next week.  It feels weird being out in the big bad world for real this time.  I've been in school all my life, almost.  Seriously, this being my second grad degree, I really have been a perpetual student.  Kinda nervous about finding work, especially considering my chosen field is in film.  Stability and security abound there, right?  Heh.  Yeah.  Exactly.  It'll be an adventure, I suppose.  ^_^

-------------------

More things:  I've been tagged by ~quandry247.  I'm supposed to publically confess 6 weird things about myself and then ask that of six other people.  I'm not sure I'm going to subject others to this, but as for myself, I don't mind giving it a whirl.  I really hope people don't find me creepy after this.  o.O


Six Weird Things About Me:

1.  I'm an idiot when it comes to pop culture.  I don't watch TV.  I don't listen to much modern music.  I can't identify some apparently very well-known songs, television shows, celebrities, etc.  (And I really don't care.)  

2.  I like my carbonated beverages flat.  

3.  I've never been sunburned before.  Have no idea what it feels like.  

4.  I really love the feel of human lungs, and I regret that I will never touch any again in the future.  Seriously, they feel slightly squishy and air-filled.  Texture-wise, they are more fun than even bubble wrap or plushy fur.  (No, I am not a psychotic killer.  And no, I will not explain.  ;-D )

5.  The longest scar on my body is from a safety pin.  Oh, the irony.

6.  My current muse (for the last 3 years now) is a cartoon character.  How utterly sad is that?  Heehee.

... Oh man, I sound weirder than I really am.  :eyepopping:

Okay, I have a question: It regards you RK fan site. I realize that to submit stuff for the contest, we do so vie e-mail, so to try my hand at e-mailing you, I decided I would try submitting something unrelated to the contest first, that I think would be great to include in you page. I wanted to make sure I had it right before I tried submitting something for a contest and it not get in because I did something wrong. (I can never be too careful, you see, my computer hates me sometimes). Case in point. After I sent the submission, i got too e-mails, and one said: "the server was down and the message wasn't sent immediately." the second said: "there is a permanent problem with the destination" or something like that. Now, i don't know if it was recieved or not. You are probably very busy as it is, and I don't mean to bog you down with more work, but would it be too much trouble if you told me if you recieved an e-mail from me (April Reinoehl), so that my mind can be at ease? I would greatly appreciate it. My computer might be mad that it's plan to mess with my head has been foiled... but I think i can deal with that. ^_^X

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this, Paranoid-Duckkie.

No, I haven't received anything from you. :(

If it's artwork that you have posted here, you can just send me a note with a link to the DA page. That might be easier if you're having troubles with my e-mail account.

well, here is the link for what I was trying to give you. I guess it is easier this way... though my e-mail is probably working again.

I just thought that this would make a great wallpaper to add to your website. ^_^ I donno if most wallpapers there are completely original or if they are mostly just cut and paste artworks (I've only seen a few of them) but I liked very much what I saw and felt like adding my own peice to the collection.

Thanx ^__^x

I really hope you get a table in the convention! You deserve it! And good luck for the contest! :D

Real World is not easy and you must have two things to survive: talent (that you already have) and Luck (believe is very important). And them, if you love your job, life is perfect! :)

From your weird things I must confess that my muse is the hero of my book that I never saw! lolol :lol:

:hug:

Thanks, I hope I get a table too. :)

Yeah, the Real World is scary. Especially the film industry. It's so hard to break into. And if you do make it in, it's hard to stay in. :(

Hooray for muses. ^_^

^ - totally relate to this, although I admit I sometimes get embarrassed im so out of the loop... but I dont really care whos the big movie star or what song is all that and a bag of chips.

2. I like my carbonated beverages flat.
^ - k... now thats just weird.... like "flat" flat, really flat? O-o

3. I've never been sunburned before. Have no idea what it feels like.
^ - er wow... O-o well, it hurts like hell.

4. I really love the feel of human lungs, and I regret that I will never touch any again in the future. Seriously, they feel slightly squishy and air-filled. Texture-wise, they are more fun than even bubble wrap or plushy fur. (No, I am not a psychotic killer. And no, I will not explain. ;-D )
^-*is too afraid to touch this one*

5. The longest scar on my body is from a safety pin. Oh, the irony.
^- ok, mental note if we ever meet up with haku make sure to hide all sharp objects, shes one crazy gal with a safety pin!

6. My current muse (for the last 3 years now) is a cartoon character. How utterly sad is that? Heehee.
^ - awwww, love at first sight!

I answered one of these somewhere... O-o my answers were weird, but here you go: haku takes the cake!!
