Boy, is boredom dangerous.

I've been trying to draw something, anything, that I can expand and work on. (I've gotten the wacky idea of making a wallpaper calender for next month. Just can't seem to draw anything for it. God, do I suck.)

I did get sort of close with this one. Yes, I like Gintama. Yes, I'm going to Silver Fourteen 2, thought that has nothing to do with this sketch (not really). And, as soon as I finish posting this, I'm going to clean up the sketch and work on darkening/cleaning the lines.

... Or ignore it and work on something else/eat a muffin/take a shower and go to bed. Whatever.

I'm really not feeling very confident, thanks. ^_^

Ooh! Sycronized swimming championships on TV!

So, I've been a very jumpy monkey.

This is a nearly finished drawing of Heero Yuy in Gothic Lolita-style drag. Why? Because someone had to do it.

Really, I did it because it was my birthday, and I seriously do find Heero Yuy in drag amusing. Somehow, I always draw him scowling whenever I put him in a dress, because I know that he wouldn't find the whole situation as amusing.

That thought didn't stop me however.

Hopefully, I'll finish up the background tomorrow, and color it sometime by the weekend.

... I like his hair. Those extensions look really nice on him. ^_^

Also, the postcard giveaway is still on! Why? Who cares why? They're pretty and they're free. http://babygray-dam.livejournal.com/9400.html Come on and get some!

... My, aren't I the shameless self-promoter? #^_^#

There's a paranda song called 'Paranda de Sopon' that I've been enjoying lately. The story the song tells is a simple one: At two o'clock in the morning, the singers ate some great ckicken soup (the sopon), only to develop terrible stomach aches at dawn. The chicken was taken from the yard, killed, cooked up, and eaten by everyone at the party, and not a bone was left. The rooster, awaken by the noise, couldn't believe his eyes and went crazy, but by dawn he was a widower. The singers end be claiming the upset stomachs was a results of a curse the rooster cast on them, noting the fact that the rooster was laughing.

The lyrics (in Spanish, mind you), can be found here: http://www.prfrogui.com/home/PARRANDA%20SOPON.htm

Now... why am I posting this here? Well, on the way home, I thought I had a great idea for a story based on this song... something utterly Snarry. But, now that I sat down for the first time all day (pretty much), I somehow don't think it's as great an idea as I did just a half-hour ago. The hen would be Harry, but who would he be slaughtered and 'eaten' by? Death Eaters? Too much violent sexual context for me.

The wizarding world? While that is completely within canon (he's already on the way to the sacrificial altar for them), why would Snape want to curse the public because of it? The rooster is not a part of the party; he's an outsider. Snape, though on the fringes, can't be as Other as the rooster, and I can't see him cursing the world. The Death Eaters, sure, but that takes back the sexual violence route, and I just can't do that.

That said, I thought this dud of an idea here, because I sure as hell won't use it.

The doodle is from my journal. I was playing with a new pen.
