ohisashiburi...it's been a while, ne?

Sorry, I had thought that I could make the time to constantly update this thing, but work is keeping me too busy. *bows in apology*

So, I guess this will be an LJ full of randomness. Lots of asia love and some random personal stuff here and there.

Today I met some friends from shcj and they celebrated my birthday with me. It's actually not until Tuesday, but I love them for it. They got me a lovely cd...Cheon Sang Ji Hee The Grace. I really enjoy their voices.

I also told my friends once that I was thinking of trying to publish a book on FANGIRLING. Yes, fangirling. I don't know if anyone would even buy it, but I thought it would be an interesting topic to write about it. Anyway, as part of their gift to me, they wrote out their own stories about fangirling - how they began. I REALLY LOVE THEM FOR IT. To think how much time they put into it...since January, in fact. It really touched me.

I don't know if I'll actually get organized enough to pursue a fangirling book, but I have a start for sure! <3 A whole lot of research would be involved too! ^^ Right now I'm working on a children's picture book. If anything ever comes of it, I'll let you all know ^____^

Each drawing gets harder and harder. I have no idea why I chose this one, but here is Yamapi. He is supposed to be wearing a fedora, but I messed it up so I cropped most of it out of the pic. I think it bears a small resemblance to him, but not as much as I'd like. I'll probably do another Yamapi drawing to make up for this one. Sorry Yamapi fans! :hehPL:

So here it is... constructive criticism is always welcome. Thanks for taking the time to look. Hope you don't find it too bad *runs away*

Constructive criticism is always welcome =)
