MangaBullet's mangakaluna drew me this awesome sketch of Kanaho last night. : D
Isn't it just adorable?
I love to see other people's interpretations of my characters, so this is really awesome to me. ^_^

Oh. Wow. So, in September I came back to uni to find various letters from a debt collector, about a bill I supposedly hadn't paid to Npower. Assuming that my housemate (who moved out the previous January) had simply forgotten to show me it, various people in the students union were contacted to help get everything straightened out.
Anyway, we're still in the middle of dealing with this, because various people seem to be taking their sweet time doing... well, anything really.
And then the other day we got a bill from Npower, new housemate swears a lot about the huge number. The huge number that looks very familliar. (Admittedly, we were confused about why it said "this is your final bill" and had original housmate's name on it.) It's only when my mum is round a couple of days later that we realise why this is the case. "Does that bill not say 2008 on it?" Says she. My response..? "Eh? *checks* Whaaaat?"
It was the bill the debt collectors had been asking about. (It looks to be a re-issued bill, but still). The original bill had never been delivered.
Fantastic.
So now I have to track down original housemate and hope like hell I can afford to pay the other half.

OK blog is fixed.
Not quite sure what happened to it, either way it works now. : )
I'm sitting in the sun, it's lovely. ^_^ Can't see a thing though.
On with the coursework!

OK, all my old blog entries are now where they should be (unless I missed some, which I hope I didn't) so, my apologies if something went wrong and somebody got spammed with 4-year-old blog entries and fangirling.
Here's the blog as it currently looks, I still have to fix up the tags/categories, upload the gallery, and then prettify the whole thing (by which I mean, customise the skin a little), but it's looking pretty good so far.
EDIT: I really need more icons...

busy
I just set up my new blog earlier... so now I have to find the time to transfer two years worth of posts. (Some of them to here, some of them to the new one.) It's a daunting task, it has to be said. (I did a very good impression of Ichigo up there when I realised what I'd got myself into.)
Does anybody know, when you backdate entries, do they still pop up on people's friends' pages? I'd hate to spam everybody with four-year-old blog posts and rambling.

Coursework = fail
Spoilers, obviously... (Both potential and otherwise) Do not read this unless you are up to date!
I had this theory a couple of weeks back, and I keep forgetting to post it. So I probably should, before it gets answered one way or the other...
Obviously these are just theories... and not terribly well constructed ones at that, so feel free to poke holes in them. :3

I tried for MONTHS to post this on my blog. Things were broken. Now they are not. Huzzah!
Eheeeeh... Yea... I didn't forget about this, (really, honest!) I've been really crazy-busy the last few months. I won't bore you with the details, but the short version is, I'm now a part-time student and I'll be spending yet another year down here.
I'm definitely seeing it as a good thing, it means I'll be able to finish my work off properly and get it to the standard it should be.
Aaaaand... I have a new tablet! And for the first time in the history of me having a tablet it actually works properly and without random glitches. Also... I have a new portfolio account on deviantART, which you can find here. And I have yet another new hard drive... I managed to save my files this time though, and I now have more than a vague inkling of what each bit of the inside of my computer is.
And I finally managed to get some work done on something I've been working on for a few years now. (That being my manga.) It's nice to finally have the world and characters fleshed out some more, they now have names and character and I have a hint of a plot. =]
It's going well! Now I just have to keep things that way.

K, so I bought some blank postcards the other day for sending into postal competitions and the like. And I've been wondering what to do with the rest.
And then I had an idea, I'm gonna draw on them and send them out to internet friends who I know.
So now I need people to ask for them. So... if anyone wants one, I need a PM/note/e-mail with "Please send me a postcard" (or something to that effect) and your address. =3In other news my tablet has basically packed up entirely now, so I need to replace that. Naturally this happens right as I finally get an illustration project at uni... =/
I need to do some other upgrades on my PC too... RAM, Motherboard, graphics card and possibly even the processor... so potentially everything other than the hard disk, which may also fail anyway.

Do not want!
Yes, I know this isn't something worth getting worked-up about but I'm going to rant anyway (aside from which it saves me having to explain it fifty times to various different people)
Basically... The makers of my favourite MMO have basically just gone and killed it.
I don't think I'll be logging in for a while but I'm going to keep an eye on thigs and hope for the best.

Whew!
I can now prove beyond doubt that the Nintedo Wii is tough as nails.
So... the other day, my sister was attempting to plug in a video, and managed to knock the TV over. Said TV landed on my Wii with a tremendous crash, resting it's corner on my poor little Wii. (This is the TV in question, btw. Note how it is big and heavy.)
So, after a lot of yelling and chaos in which the phone rings and there's someone at the door all at the same time as this is going on, TV is eventually removed. So, my brother helps me get everything set up to see what the damage is, the obvious damage is thus. The metal fronting surrounding the gamecube controller ports is bent out of of shape, which means the cover no longer sits flat. (Like so, and so.)
After borrowing betteries for my Wiimote, and careful testing of GC ports by way of windwaker, it basically turns out that Wii is... well... pretty indestructible. The immediately visible damage was the only damage done.
There are no words to express my relief at this point, though I'm not exactly impressed at the aesthetic damage.

If you visited ninjascribbles in the last couple of days (unlikely I know), you'll have noticed the distinct lack of... well... anything, actually.
What with my HD dieing and then all the other crap I decided it'd be better to just start over from scratch on the website. And... then I remembered I can't script at the best of times and Nvu does not not not like my existing css/html for some reason.
So I just coded a splashpage and had done with it. I'll get to fixing it when I get back to Stoke and Paula can help me. =)
It does kinda bug me how much I suck at the scripts though. It's something I'd actually like to be good at, but I can't seem to get my head around it.
In other news, I've got an ever-growing list of plotbunnies (most of them for crossovers) and I've come up with two more roleplays I wanna do over at gfg. As if what I'm dealing with already isn't enough. D:
- Art Post! [Fairy Guardian Mokko]

- Sparkles! =D
Sparkles! =D
I made them myself. ^_^
Some character concept art for a klik game I'm making. This is Mokko, she's a fairy-girl... sort of... >.>
Bear in mind that the character has to fit neatly into a 40-odd pixel sprite, and still be distinctive, so the design is quite simple.
Been messing with a new style, so I've learned a bunch of new techniques while I've been doing this. This'll probably end up being used for stuff like the title screen and the "Mokko's Adventure" mini-site.
Crit Please!
- Out of luck... =/

F^$K!
So, I didn't win that manga contest... Can't say I'm not a little bit dissapointed about it, I'll probably see if my uni's news paper want's a five-page comic for an issue or something...
On the plus side, I've managed to land a couple of commissions, so yeeeey~! (OK, the commissioners are my friend and my mum... but they're still paying me... =3)
- Art Post! [Haruno Yasushi]

bleh
Giftart for Paul. His character, Haruno Yasushi, from our "Ninjas of Konoha" Rp.
I fail at backgrounds... hence, the abstractness. There were supposed to be stormclouds and dramaz... but I ended up with this instead. =/ He's a very grey character... o.o

Concept Art! This for "Mokko's Adventure," which is a klik game I've started and restarted over about five years and with one thing and another never finished. So, this is Mokko, about to bring some pain upon that evil looking wizardy fella down there.
Stuff I like in this image:
The clouds, the mountains, the river, Mokko.
Stuff I hate in this image:
Everything else!! But most especially that bloomin' grass! Augh! D:

So I finally got my essay handed in! (And a few days early too! =D) So I've been starting to work through my requests and other stuffs that I've been planning for a while. I've also had a few chances to get out climbing, which has been fantastic. (Finally added a few routes to my UCK logbook.)
Getting on real rock was a great (if painful) experience (grit, ow.). Though I'll admit, I can't wait to get back on the wall next month, I'm so out of practice. o.o
And my Neomag entry is done and sent, so I just have to hope that something comes of it, (here is where I make the assumption the postal service got it there on time... Postal strikes... grr...) the prize is kinda cool. (And the exposure won't hurt either.)
So... I've had my love for Digmon rekindled (ttly blame spoony, kthx). And got bitten by some plot bunnies... of the kind that I'm NEVER going to write, because I lack the skill/motvation. I need to find a "post-a-bunny" comm or something (failing that, make one, haha.)

Arnfield Reservoir and Bottoms Reservoir, from Hobson Moor. (Or somewhere in that general area, anyway.)
So after I finished my 24 hour blogathon yesterday I decided to go on a 7 milke hike with my dad and my brother, in a futile attempt to stay awake for the rest of the day.
This is one of my favourite pictures (and one of the first I took.) Edited to crop out a gate and to clear up the colours a little. =)
Exhausting walk, but enjoyable all the same, and I got to test out my hiking boots. =)

First sketch!
I'd love it if people could suggest sketch themes over at my blog it would be lovely. I have to do 48 of these things after all.
- Blogamathon~! (sponsor me plxthx?)

- 27th July 2007
So, I've been debating whether to try this or not, and after much consideration, what the hey, I'm going for it. =)
I'm gonna have a go at this year's blogathon. I have a charity and everything. =)
So basically I have to stay up for 24 hours starting from 2pm on Saturday, and make a blog post every half-hour to prove I'm still awake
My mum suggested this charity called "CRY" who raise awareness of things like Sudden Death Syndrome and other heart-related illnesses in young people and y'know what? Their website phrases it so much better, so... go there and give it a lookie. ^_^
And then sponsor me? Please? (I think you'll have to login to sponsor me... but... it's for a good cause..?)
The posts will be over at my main blog, (Way of the Scribbling Ninja) because that's where I'm signed up through.What I'm thinking of doing is, half-hour sketches (now that my scanner is up and running again). So basically I come up with a theme and draw a sketch on that theme, which I upload. (And yes, I'd love it if people could suggest some.)
