It's been too long...
But between a girlfriend, WoW, a girlfriend who plays WoW, and many other things...well I think you can see where all the time goes.
My apologies for my absence.
For a quick rundown, obviously things with the girlfriend are going very well, otherwise you'd probably have heard back from me a lot sooner. Likewise work is going very well for me, though I find I'm taking home a lot more work than I;d like; I thought I was done with homework? Also got "appointed" as GM of a local shadowrun game using d20 rules. That's been exciting in the sense of "OhGodOhGod, how am I supposed to run this thing." But the players keep coming back for more, so what can I say?
And as the title of this journal implies I recently finished something sort of different that everybody might find interesting. I've mixed feelings on the results, but I'll see what you guys think later when I put up pictures. In the meantime, I just pulled an all-nighter finishing it last night, and i must be off to work.
See ya all around the 'tubes.

Och! I have been Entagged!

! Oh Holy Crap! 
"The 1st player of this starts with the topic weird habits/facts/dislikes about yourself and people who get tagged must write in their journals about their 6 weird habits/facts/dislikes as well as state this rule clearly.
In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list to their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says you're tagged."
Right, so lemme see what I can come up with off the top of my head:
1)I think I have a nigh-obsessive-compulsion to build things. I think having Lego's as a kid was what started this. From there it branched out into other things: building models, putting furniture pieces together (my parents LOVE this), taking things apart so that I can put them back together again (my parents HATE this...or used to at least). Someday I'll have to get a picture up, but I have an entire mid-sized bookcase FULL of Gundam models I've been putting together since about six years ago. It's goddamn therapeutic, I swear. I'd use them to reward myself for doing well on a particularly tough Final Exam or something similar.
2) As a corollary to the model thing, I also collect a large number of action figures! Related FUN FACT: I often use female action figures or anime statuettes/gashapons as references for character designs. For example, a lot of my original characters such as Shanda (200k Hitgift), Tabitha (Genetic Hybrid), the Random Busty Vixen, and even my main original character Leine were all original based off of various action figures I had at the time. Also, highly pose-able action figures have been great in helping me figure out certain poses from time to time.
3)FUN FACT: When I find something really, really funny, I can't breathe and I make this sort of gasping wheezing sound. Like I'm choking...probably because I am, to some degree choking. I had one guy almost try to give me the Heimlich after someone told me a really good joke, until I waved him away and forced myself to start breathing normally again. Interestingly enough I get the same kind of reaction whenever I eat anything with really rich chocolate in it. Which leads me to believe that both of these may be indicative of a larger problem: feelings of intense pleasure make my lungs shut down. So I wonder...what will sex do to me?
4) Actually I probably shouldn't be all that worried about the previous thing. Turns out I can hold my breath for a pretty long time. Thanks BSA Lifeguard training!
5)FUN FACT: Yeah, so this summer I took a two week vacation with a pair o' college friends of mine to Japan. Short trip recap: I found I liked the more rural areas a lot more than the cities. Tokyo was cool, but I think I'd best describe it as a more polite New York City. The rest of Japan I would describe as a sort of weird fusion of Colorado landscapes mixed with Florida climate zones. Highlight of the trip: tough call...I want to say it was the time a waitress offered me coffee and I replied with what I thought was "No thank you, I'm fine," but what I was told later by my friends really means "I do not know." (The look on her face really was priceless), but also ranking highly up there was the poor lady we scared half to death in Hakone, late at night after walking back to our hotel after searching nigh-futilely for food (a story unto itself). I didn't think we were acting all that suspiciously, but the look in her eyes (and the wide berth she gave us) said it all: "Oh gods...gaijin...american gaijin...which means they have GUNS...ancestors protect me!" Hmmm...now that I think about it, I may be able to use one of my vacation photos to make a devID...
6) Well I suppose I better post at least one "dislike about myself". So here goes: I sincerely regret to waiting until after college to start to think about dating seriously. While I wouldn't say it's made me undateable, I definitely feel like I really hurt my chances by waiting. It's really ironic too; my mindset going into college was basically "Don't get distracted by relationships during college. Focus on studying and getting good grades and passing classes. When I graduate I'll be able to get an awesome job, earn enough to get a place of my own and then I'll be set for dating. Well my plan worked brilliantly up to a point. I did indeed graduate with decent enough grades, got an awesome job and now my own place. What I didn't count on was every, single girl I ever knew getting married or engaged in the meantime while I was at college. So yeah, it's like I gained everything I thought I needed to get what I wanted at the expense of what I actually wanted. How very "Faustian" of me...
EDIT: Ack! Something else I just remembered that I thought I should post...
FUN FACT: I am currently growing my own tomatoes on my balcony. It started as a bet at work (something along the lines that engineers can't grow anything to save their lives) and has since turned into a neat way of preparing myself for the inevitable zombie/robot/furry apocalypse!
So yeah I guess replace the "can hold my breath" thing with this. In retrospect that's kind of a lame fact. Lots of people can hold their breath for a decent amount of time.
And thusly have I finished mine obligation! Just so there's no hard feelings about who I picked to pass this on to (and vis a vis, who I did not pick...) I selected the following people not by how much I like them, but how much they would (hopefully) enjoy doing something like this. If you do not enjoy these kinds of things and I pick you...sorry chummer.
I'll try not to next time. If you've already done this, then you get to point and laugh at me!
I choose these!
Well, you all have your orders. May God have mercy on all six of you. And just remember there are no tag-backs. No hard feelings, right?
Bye-cha!!!

50 Things I Love About Comics
4 min read
For several reasons, chief among them being I was bored, I wanted to put up something new in my journal, I've seen a few of these cropping up elsewhere on the intarwebs, and it just seemed really neat at the time, I have compiled a list of the top fifty reasons or things that I simply adore about the multiple worlds of comic books. I know a lot of these will probably go over the heads of quite a few people, but I hope there is enough innate raw humor that can shine through any inside jokes. So without any further ado...
50. Black Bolt's real name. (Look it up. No really, do it!)
49. Adam Warren draws a fantastic ass that is a treat to the eyes every time.
48. New Blue Beetle's ultimate power trip is to be a dentist.
47. Benjamin Grimm
46. Ducklings! guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
45. Intergang has a Crime Bible and this is not some sort of bad joke.
44. The Great Lakes Avengers: greatest superhero team EVER!
43. The Hulk in bunnyslippers and carrying a massive gun.
42. Any time Power Man and Iron Fist appear in the same comic together.
41. Batman and Superman are friends, haHA! guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
40. AIM uniforms
39. guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
38. Bizzaro-Speak.
37. Also Batzarro.
36. Thor, not to be confused with Clor. guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
35. The Secret Six.
34. The Birds of Prey.
33. There were no less than three people running around Marvel Civil War pretending to
be Daredevil. Possibly more unconfirmed...
32. The Secret of 52.
31. Everything about She-Hulk. guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/n…
30. 1602 Angel had no idea 1602 Jean Grey was a girl and 1602 Nick Fury's facial
expression upon learning this.
29. Rob Liefield's obsession with bulging muscles, rail-thin waists, and pockets. Lots...of...pockets.
28. The terrible things that Golden Age Superman did to Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen.
27. The terrible things that Golden Age Superman did in general.
26. Pym Particles.
25. Ozymandias did it 35 minutes ago.
24. Frank Cho also draws a fantastic ass.
23. Spiderman and Black Cat. guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
22. Animal Man.
21. Spiderman and Human Torch (Johnny Storm). guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
20. Silver Age Mr. Fantastic was a gigantic asshat and a chauvenist. guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
19. guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
18. The Batcave has EVERYTHING...including a Dalek. Think about that...
17. When Rorscach hid in some guy's fridge to catch him unawares.
16. When that same guy expected Rorscach to be in the fridge, but all he found was a
note that said "Behind you."
15. You know what, Rorscach in general is pretty much the essence of awesome.
14. Whenever the Punisher and Ghost Rider team up.
13. The Punisher. guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
12. Booster Gold.
11. Batman has floozies! guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
10. Galactus' helmet.
9. Deadpool's love for Bea Arthur.
8. "Kneel before Zod!"
7. "Kneel before Doom!"
6. Bob, Agent of Hydra, Blogger.
5. Everything about this: guardiansof.mrrr.net/RJstuff/S…
4. Anything produced from the minds of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
3. Power Girl
2. Deadpool
1. There exists a person who has managed to defeat Dr. Doom, Mandarin, MODOK,
Thanos, Deadpool, and many others, and this being's name is Squirrel Girl.
Seriously, those last three alone make up a good chunk of why I read comics at all. If they ever made an insane crossover event involving those three characters, I would put it among my most prized of possessions, I don't care who writes it or who does the artwork (well maybe not Liefield).
Well that is all for now. I hope to have some more drawings up soon, including some more Pretty Momma strips that I've thought up lately. And now that I'm moved into my new condo, those should start appearing here in the next few weeks, all things willing.
Cheers, and thanks for reading this far!
Oh and feel free to ask for clarifications. I spent this long putting this list together, I don't mind spending more.

It's time for some Truth of Dare
1 min read
In exchange for prying into Himitsu Dragon's secrets, I must hold up my end of the bargain...
The name of this game is Truth Or Dare.
The deal: You get to ask me three questions. No matter how crazy, inappropriate, or random they are, I will attempt to answer 100% truthfully.
That's the truth part. The dare is for you to put this in your journal to see what other people ask about you.
NOTE: Questions that ask for art requests will receive a severe frownie.
Be careful what you ask for...

For those who've read my latest Pretty Momma comic and remember my somewhat optimistic predictions about Captain America, here is legitimate proof of me being utterly, and mind-shatteringly WRONG! And like...all of a few days after posting that comic and comments!
WARNING! HEFTY SPOILERS AHEAD!! AAAOOOOOOGAH!!!
news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070307/e…
I'm going to abstain from commenting further until after I've dug myself a grave and spun in it for some time, all while taking some liberal doses of bourbon whiskey to jolt me out of my state of "WTF".
You guys can feel free to comment though. I'm interested to see what everyone else thinks of this.
