BEWARE! Naruto spoilers ahead!

So! What'd you guys think of the latest Naruto chapter (450)?

The beginning was just...ADORABLE. xD Naruto riding on Kakashi's back like that was so sweet... ;w; And then he had a Gaara moment with the villagers all welcoming him back and mobbing him. Cute overload! I don't even like NaruHina or NaruSaku, but I was still "aww"ing when Hinata was crying so adorably and Sakura hugged him like that. :'D It made me very happy.

Then we go to Akatsuki. Still don't like them. Let's hope they are dealt with, and soon... >< I'm curious what's gonna happen with Kisame, though. I've sorta started to like him lately, so we'll see how that goes...

LOVING TEAM CLOUD. xD omg. I wasn't too big on them at first (so much hype!), but...they're freaking AWESOME! So hilarious! I can't wait to see what role they're gonna play in this mess. c:

Poor Tsunade. D:
Kabuto! I command that you go save her! (Somehow.) It's in your best interests, really. I mean, who would you rather have in charge of Konoha - Danzou the ruthlessly patriotic or Tsunade the violent but merciful? Really. If you get caught, Danzou being in charge does NOT bode well for you... (By the way, COME BACK INTO THE STORY. ANY TIME NOW. )

Wow. The rulers of the Land of Fire are UGLY. D:
Are all the beautiful people ninja, or what?
Anyway, this scene was frustrating, because I knew Danzou wasn't gonna give it up that easily...
But Kakashi would've been so cool. ;A;
Oh well.
Maybe he'll be the Seventh Hokage? :'D If he doesn't die before then... OTL

So! In summary, adorableness, good plot twists, hilarious cloud ninja... I think I can safely say this chapter was a success. xD I'm already forgetting my disappointment at that whole Pain vs. Konoha arc! <3 (I'm gonna pretend it didn't happen, m'k?) The only drawback to this chapter was that there was NO Kabuto. Again.

Oh well. Anko and Sai are still out there looking for him. And Sasuke's on the move. Chances are, Kabuto'll pop up before too much longer.

Things That Will Likely Offend Someone (AKA Opinions)








COOL STUFF

.::A Fangirl's Thoughts::.

So, updates on my life.

I'm graduating tomorrow. Not quite sure how I feel about this. I finished the last of my schoolwork today, I passed all of my finals, summer's here, I'm free, I've already gotten a lot of money in graduation presents, I get to see my friends and boyfriend tonight...so why do I feel so depressed? It's not fear of the future anymore. I'm actually getting a little excited for it. I just...feel sad, for some reason. I guess part of it might be that going to miss my youth group. I...never thought it would affect me that much, haha. I mean, for a long time, youth group was more of an annoyance than anything. But in the past year or two, I've really started to enjoy it and make some friends.

It saddens me that that's going to end soon.

Of course, I know I won't lose my friends just because I don't see them every Thursday night anymore, but it's so hard, because I live at least 30 minutes away from most of them, so I hardly ever get to see them.

Especially my boyfriend. It's hard enough seeing him only twice a week - imagine when that drops to once. :/ Man. I need to make some friends who live near me to keep me occupied. ><

On a plus side, I guess it'll be a new adventure going to college group. And my boyfriend and one of my best friends (Katie~) are graduating as well, so I won't be going it alone. And who knows? I might know some other people in the college group. And there's always the college pastor, who used to be the HS pastor.

But it's still a little scary.

I'm gonna really miss high school.

And I never thought I'd say those words.

In any case, weird melancholy aside, today has been a good day. Like I said, I got a lot of money in graduation gifts, and that was just from family sending it in the mail, haha. xD; I feel sort of embarrassed, like I should be happier or something, since they're giving me gifts; I feel like this graduating thing should be a celebration, and I'm somehow being ungrateful by feeling sad about it. You know what I mean? I dunno. I'm trying to enjoy it, really.

Doesn't help that my mom completely shot down my plans for a KabuKitty graduation cake. I really wanted that cake.

But! I have a fun outfit for graduation - I love long peasant skirts~ And Lukers will be there! And (hopefully) baka-niisama. <33

Anyway, still trying to raise money for camp. Prints anyone? :'D I finally figured out the pricing for international orders - I'll just add two dollars to the price, to cover the extra shipping. I think that ought to be enough to cover most places. C:

Oh! Really enjoyed the American Idol finale last night, even if I disagreed with America on who should've won. :/ I'm not too upset, though; I knew it would be close. And I forgot to vote for Adam, so I don't really have any right to talk. xD;; The performances last night were a lot of fun, though, and Kris did wonderfully on that (retarded) "No Boundaries" song. It was actually, shockingly, good. Not that I doubt Kris' abilities, but that song is just... xD;; idk. It makes me feel cynical.

I hope both of them go on to make records, cuz I bet I will freaking love them. <3 Especially if Adam's "Mad World" rendition is on there. C:< SO GOOOOOOOD.

In other news - it turns out I won't be selling art anywhere this summer. SuperCon fell through, as did SacCon, and SacAnime's full, so...there you go. xD Guess it just wasn't meant to be. Maybe if I find someone with a SacAnime table who can share I'll do it, but I'm not looking too hard, honestly. I figure, at this point, God either really doesn't want me to do it, or He'll find a way to work it out. ;] Either way, I still plan to go to SacAnime - if nothing else, to see ~BlackSandPiper and maybe do some Brawl. <3 I want to do Doubles again! xD Ironically, though, my prospective partner this time around is practically a reincarnation of my partner from the first time I did it. Seriously. I'd be scared if Andy and Derek ever met. xD Way too much arrogant nerd for one room. Luckily, though, I've actually /played/ with Andy before. I think his Zelda/Shiek duo would compliment my Marth well. xD But we'll see. idk if he still wants to do it...

So yeah! That's my life, in a nutshell. Been reading and roleplaying a lot, lately. Trying to do more CGing, too. I want to try and draw a lot this summer. C:

Oh! By the way, for all of you D&D nerds out there - got any advice for a halfelven cleric with a lawful evil alignment in a party of mostly good characters? xD;; Haha...ha. (Luckily, I think we're getting some evil characters, though. <3 C'mon Andy, Mickey, you know you want to join the dark side~ C:<

Hey guys! Just thought I'd share something I made with you - just a little slideshow of some of my art with a Kabuto-song, because I was bored. xD Still! It's something new and I liked making it, so I thought you might enjoy it too. C: Let me know what you think!

EDIT: Okay, the link isn't working. D: Why?! Let's try this:

Minus the spaces?

Oh, and I /might/ be going to SuperCon in San Jose. Anyone else going? <3

And! I'm also working on those print details, I swear. :'D Many thanks to *angeloftheodd08, btw, who bought a couple from me. (I LOVE YOU. <3) I'll update that when I figure it out. C:

Hey, guess what! I'm back from New Mexico! Have been for over a week, actually. I'm sorry I still haven't really been "back" on here aside from posting a couple of doodles, but I really needed some time to recover. No worries, though, I used that time wisely! ...or well, some of it. You see, I've been sick as well, so I haven't been entirely as productive as I could have been... ;A; But I managed to get one or two good things done! ^^

One of those things is this - I finally did some of the research/buying I needed to do in order to start selling prints! Be proud of me. So! I just went out and spent about twenty bucks on print paper for mah snazzy new printer. (I hate the scanner on it, but that photo-printing ability is pure gold, I tell you!) I borrowed a sheet of my mom's photo paper and did a test run, and it works great! xD My Gaara-chibi never looked so shiny!

Therefore, I am now going to be offering prints! :3 I need to raise money for camp anyway, since I just spent all of the money I'd saved on New Mexico. I really want to go this year, since, as a senior, this is the last year I can go (and dang am I going to miss my youth group, sob). D': However, I need to pay my own way as much as possible since my parents put so much into New Mexico and they're helping me with college, so I decided this would be a good way to fundraise. Maybe. We'll see. This is sort of an experiment, since I've never done anything like this before. Depending on how this goes, we'll see about opening up real commissions in the future. :]

For now, here's the information~ (Let's hope I can sell one or two! Wish me luck!)

Marie's Amazing Print Sale!

-At the moment, you can ask for about any picture in my gallery to be made into a print. xD There are a handful I may say no on, but they're few and far between, so just request away and I'll let you know if it's available. :3

-Also, I will not be sending these out immediately, nor will I immediately require payment, because I don't have a PayPal yet! I hope to remedy that this weekend or sooner (although it may be next week), and then I'll start accepting payments and sending orders. <3 For now, you can go ahead and send me your orders so I can print them (you'll be committing to pay when the time comes), but I won't be sending until I get the money, sorry. <3

-All prints will be the same size and quality - 5x7 on glossy paper. Although I'm printing these at home, they will be photo-quality - or, well, as close to that as my art skills can let me get, that is! xD But yes, please don't worry about the quality of the prints. If you're unhappy with it for some reason, like they're not what you expected, we can discuss a refund. :3 I want you to be happy with what you get!

-I've officially decided that PayPal is much too complicated! So I won't be using it. How about we do this the old-fashioned way? You send me money, I send you prints! xD What does everyone think of this idea? I can't be responsible for money lost in the mail, of course, but personally I trust the postal system and don't think it will be an issue. But I don't know, do you guys think this is a bad idea, or is this a better way to go about it? I need a little input before I decide for sure to do things this way. ;D

Here's my prices/descriptions.

-5x7 Basic Print
$5.00 USD
A basic print of one of the pictures from my gallery, as-is, on high-quality glossy paper. Signed on the back by the artist (unless requested otherwise) and with a hand-written note from me! xD

-5x7 Custom Print
$6.00 USD
Same as the above, except that you can personalize it a bit. For example, if you liked [link] but you only wanted Deidara and Tobi, I could take those chibis and put them together for you instead of all four on one 5x7 sheet. (Would be kinda small, y'know?) It'd be a bit more work than just taking the straight picture, hence the extra buck, but still, I thought I'd throw the option out there. :3 I can't change every picture (sometimes I don't have the PSD file saved properly), but you can certainly ask and I'll let you know if I can do it!

-5x7 Sketch Compilation
$5.00 USD
This one's something I just thought I'd throw out there on a whim. You know how I'm always doing sketch dumps and posting doodles individually? Well, if you like my sketches but don't want to spend five bucks on a print of a messy doodle, this is the option for you! xD You can pick and choose pictures from my sketch dumps (and maybe some from my traditional folder) to be compiled and placed on the same 5x7. :3 You can choose as many as you'd like; the more you choose, though, the smaller the individual pictures get! This only applies to my pencil works, however. I'm dropping the surcharge for the extra work this is because I spend less time on pencil works than I do on digital ones. xD You may also request a color for the picture. Once again, this kind of goes by an if-I-can-do-it basis. If you like the idea, go ahead and request it, and I'll get back to you with a yes or a no! ^^ Like the other prints, this will be signed and come with a hand-written note. :]

That's it for now! As a special and since this is my first time doing this, if you buy three items, I'll give you a fourth basic print for free! <3
If you'd like to place an order I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER. Oh, and please note me with the following form (filled out with your information, of course!)

Name:
Shipping Address: (I'm sorry, but US only for now! If you're from out-of-country, you can ask me still, and I'll see if I can find out how much that would cost me. It may be more money, though. :/)
*Order Type: (Sketch Compilation, Basic Print, Custom Print)
*Deviation(s) Involved: (links make my life easier <3)
*Order Specifications: (for Compilations or Custom Prints)
Etc.: (if you have any special requests I might need to think of, or in case I've forgotten anything)

*Fill these out individually for each order.

Thank you for your time! If you do place an order, you have my eternal gratitude~ Please support me in my venture!

On the other hand, this is my first time, so if my prices seem ridiculously high, please let me know and I'll see if I can cut costs somehow... :'D
