Awrthyr

Happy Birthday, Ben!!!

Actually, today is probably not your birthday. In fact, I have no idea when your birthday actually IS. But, I am guessing it's near at hand as your party was last Saturday, and, heck, you probably won't see this for ages after your birthday anyway, because you never update your own blog, let alone look at your friends'!! Nonetheless, this post is in honor of you. Don't let it swell your head.

So, I actually drew this... oh, geez louise, it was probably monthes ago. When Ben first bullied me into making a character for him. And, all things considered, I was VERY kind about it. He even gave me all sorts of nasty ideas of what to do with his character!! It could have been so fun!! But I restrained. ((For the record, I had pretty much decided what and who Ben would be before he gave me the ideas. He wasn't in any real 'danger'. Not that I let him know THAT. I'm not THAT nice.))

But, as Ben's birthday may be happening in the near future or already happened in the near past, the lesson where he is introduced is almost here anyway, and I haven't posted in a while anyway, voila:

Awrthyr, the hobgoblin.

I actually really liked how this picture turned out. And for a while his name was Jaymz... but then I changed it, cause, you know, I actually MET someone named James. I know you all will understand. :D You'll all find out more about his actual character when the time comes, but as for what he looks like and species... well, it is set in stone, and is now public info. :P

Gee, other things that have been happening... I have been reading an INSANE amount of new books lately. I've just been in the mood, even though my homework might be suffering for it. Just a tad, though. I finished Wyvernhail!! I didn't predict the ending, but I loves it anyway. Not as good as Hawksong, but possibly better than Snakecharm. A very satisfying ending, overall.

And I know I should read Bloody Jack. T.T I'm sorry, but that book just TERRIFIES me. No cliff hangers, I know, but the last books have shaken any and all confidence I have in that series, as far as its ability to let me keep my sanity goes. It just isn't RIGHT.

((Yes, I know I'm a hypocrite. You can all shut up now.))

Let's see, anything else... not much! We've started studying actual rocks in Earth Science, which is different from what we were doing before. Before, we were studying MINERALS. There is a distinction.

I have decided that I actually have a sore throat, as opposed to just killing my voice from a very loud football game followed by a crazy day of mucho playing at the Maple Leaf. That kinda stinks. XP

That's all!! Wow, long post for me. Oh well!!

Ivy, out.
