Description So I was watching "Amazing Grace" with my sister, and I had a pencil and some paper, and I was supposed to be doing some figure sketching for Art... and I looked down and OOPS. More Transformers fanart

The lines are here , even though lineart is one thing that I never usually post, but I liked these ones

Additionally, I decided to color this one in -- brace yourselves -- colored pencil. I HATE colored pencil, and always have, if my parents are to be believed.
So scanned it beforehand, just in case I royally messed up the colors *pessimist*


Either way, I quite like how this worked out (Well, obviously, or you wouldn't be seeing it )

This is a scene from the latest chapter of my best () friend *ThornQueen 's fanfic As We Come Together.

SHAMELESS PLUGGING?? WHERE??

In the scene... it's Jazz and Prowl. (Human versions, because my subconscious isn't cool enough to think in giant alien robots. Yet.) And Prowl isn't exactly himself... but you have to read the fic if you want any more information because I am SNEAKY that way

Title taken from the song I colored this to incessantly: Prelude 12/21 by AFI, to be found here . Be warned: it's creepy. But awesome.

Prelude 12/21 is creepy? WHAT?! I just thought it was pure awesome. I suppose my brain no longer picks up on the creepy that exists in life. Oh well.

Love how you captured the scene. I remember it all just by looking at this.

Haha, oh my friend, it's creepy and awesome at the same time. You've acquired yourself an immunity to the creepy, then?

I'm glad you approve. It was an intense scene, and it's good to know I managed to reflect that

... Goodness, this pic is AMAZING! That scene in the fanfic totally freaked me out, and the same fear came to me when I saw this fanart. Everything is wonderfully drawn here — the evilness lurking in Prowl's (or the Fallen's) eyes, the pained and horrified expression on Jazz's handsome face, and the eerie mood... you brought these characters and the story alive with your outstanding art skills. I can't believe I didn't find this pic earlier! Great job!

That scene was just horrible *shivers* Thus the creepy illustration, I suppose I'm glad and sorry? ^_^ that the picture was able to creep you out like the scene from the story!

Prowl's/Mr. Evil Pants's eyes were a lot of fun to do, actually; there's something so much more interesting about an evil smirk than any other expression, and the eyes are so important to that. As for Jazz... I was trying to put myself in his shoes, and actually got my sister to screw up her face so I could see the lines Unimaginable horror is a tricky expression to get down

Thank you!

I am over a month late commenting on this pic and I have no excuse. ;_; It’s just been sitting in my inbox this entire time, acting all innocent, staring at me every time I click in, demanding that I ‘GET [MAH] ARSE IN GEAR AND WRITE THE GOSH DARN COMMENT ALREADY!’ So, as you can see by the presence of this comment now in your inbox, I finally decided to do as I’m told (for once).

This picture was a huge surprise when I came home from work… I think I told you that on MSN. Or did I gush that part with tons of ooze and love? Can’t quite remember… Those first few days after this baby was posted are kind of a love-induced blur to me. That aside, I DO remember the day itself- I clicked into dA, wandering into my inbox, and then said ‘No. Way. No. Way. That’s… not what I think it is, is it?’ *looks at artist name. Looks at picture. Looks at artist’s name. Looks at picture again, because I couldn’t tear my eyes away. Finally, brain clicks everything into place.* ‘HOE MAH GAWD, IT IS! IT IS! THAT’S JAZZ AND PROWL! FISHY DREW JAZZ AND PROWL!’ The excitement that followed can best be described as similar to an ADHD kid pumped full of sugar and unleashed on Christmas morning. I don’t think I was coherent for an hour after that! But, just to make things clear, I was very, very, very, VERY happy. Yes. Yes, I was.

I just have to ask before I go on- what brand of coloured pencils did you use for this? I like the colour palette. Especially the browns you used for Jazz’s skin. It all looks so freaking SWEET! I love the lineart for this, of course, but the colours… they give it more depth! Sure, there’s a great sharpness to the plan lines; we get to see Jazz’s wonderful features (especially his eyes, which are ZOMG-to-die-for!), and Prowl handsome profile without the colour-static, but with colour, we get the sense of dark and light, the intensity that the setting brings to the exchange. Plus, mah gawd, Prowl-slash-The-Fallen-Possing-Prowl’s-body’s AMBER EYE! Just about shot over the moon when I saw it!

AH! This is just so- OH MH GOD! I still get tickles every time I pop in to ogle at it. And then I frown that more people haven’t commented on it. COME ON PEOPLE, I KNOW YOU’RE LOOKING AT THIS MASTERPIECE! SPEAK UP BEFORE I HUNT YOU DOWN AT MAKE YOU SPEAK UP!

*ahem* As you’ve probably noticed, I’m still very ADHD about this pic.

I’m listening to the AFI song right now as I write this. It is such inspiration! The right amount of awesome and creepy wrapped up into a great rhythm and interesting lyrics! It actually reminds me of The World is Darker by Never Ending White Lights and All the Right Moves by One Republic. Might not be along the same genres, but they’re still oddly haunting, especially when the videos are taken into account.

Jazz here… wow. He’s just so amazing looking. This might sound strange, but he actually looks like a black guy! When I try capturing the race of a person into a picture, the only thing that really sets them part from every other whitewashed character is the colour of their skin. @___@ You gave Jazz such a handsome facial structure~ If I didn’t know his spark was for Prowl and only Prowl, I’d try to steal a little kiss from those lovely lips of his.

He reminds me a little of Dr. Foreman from House M.D. (I don’t know if you’ve ever watched it… ) but Jazz here is about a thousand time more handsome and a billion times less douchey. He’s got his pretty little not-really-a-goatee thing, too! To be perfectly honest, I have no idea why I gave him that. Just wanted something different for him, I guess. He seems the kind of person to do something a little different and make it look freaking hot. XD And do I even spot the hint of his diamond stud in his ear? *squees* You really went into detail here, didn’t you?

And his expression! It’s like you peeled it right out of the story, made it human, and then slapped here with some epic lines and colour!

But then there’s Prowl! PROWL! Has he ever looked so sinister? No, I don’t think so! We all know it’s him (everyone who knows his design and/or the story behind the pic knows it’s him), but the way he’s staring at Jazz… It’s not him. It’s Psi-in-Prowl’s-body. That’s probably not meant to be sexy, yet… Sinister smiles on normally neutral mechs is kind of hot. I’ve already pointed out the eye, but I’m gonna do it again- EYE! AMBER EYE! Evil incarnate, but downright sexy~~~~~

Everything about this is so amazing! This is the best not-doing-schoolwork art I’ve ever seen! If I could glomp you right now, I would!

Lol, I know that feeling XD The longer you leave the stupid thing the more daunting the idea of actually, finally commenting seems to become But I’m glad you finally took its advice and got your arse in gear!!

Hmm I do seem to remember some profuse gushing Surprise pictures are the best though, aren’t they? Like Round One of the Art War, and my Grimoire entry, and more recently the AU pictures… nothing is more pleasing than the surprise deviation in your inbox And I take it the same held in this instance?

Um, I use a lot of different ones. My aunt Fleur latches onto my artistic ability and buys me pencils, paints, canvases, markers et cetera for any celebrated holiday I know I have some Faber-Castell, some that, uh, begin with a ‘D’, I think… I’d recognize them if I saw them but I can’t remember what they’re called!! I discovered two very important things about coloring pencils (my absolute least favorite medium) in this picture: you can blend beautifully using a pricey white pencil, and don’t use crappy-ass printer paper for expensive pencils

Yesss I agree! That’s why I put up the lines as well – they’re almost different pieces because the lines and the colors focus on such different aspects of the image

I was juuust about to color Prowl’s eye brown, I think, and then my brain suddenly went ‘HANG ON. Have you forgotten the WHOLE POINT of this scene???’

Lol, people are baaad at commenting at the moment Except you. You make up for it with your page-long comments

I did notice, and it makes me wery wery happeh!!

That’s the only song I like by AFI, but BY JOVE I LIKE IT A LOT. Obviously, went off to check out your two songs, and whoa ‘The World is Darker’ is giving me gooseflesh. Love One Republic, and that song is indeed fitting. It’s pretty but sort of, yeah, as you said, haunting. (That bit in the video for the former when the blood comes out of the rose… *shiver*)

Lol, I was shocked that he looks black, since I usually have the same problem you just outlined But don’t question it, Fish! Just be pleased that your subconscious can differentiate race! He really is handsome though; his eyes in particular I adore. But the lovely lips come an extremely close second.

I haven’t Seen “House”, but I think you mentioned that on MSN and I had a look – yes, he does look a lot like him Nobody is less douchey than the Jazz!! I kinda like his little goatee thing. I normally hate facial hair, but Jazz can pull pretty much anything off You do indeed spot the stud – diamonds are evil (so I hacked away at the picture to deflect attention from it XD). I just knew he had an earring – was really, really hoping it was in that ear, and that it was a diamond, not just a stud

That… was the general objective of the picture, yes

Prowl wearing the creepy paedophile grin? Yes… bizarrely striking on him I’m telling you – attractive people can make ANYTHING look sexy!!
EYE LOVE

I accept your virtual glomp in lieu of the real one And anything is better than schoolwork

Let's hope it doesn't take me this long for next time. I feel so guilty leaving it like this, especially when you're so prompt and thorough with your reviews! >.<

lol~ Now that you mention it, I still haven't been able to figure out what to do for Round Five But, yeah, surprises in your inbox are always the best!

Colouring pencils are my only medium of choice. ;__; Shame on you for not knowing the brands you use!
I would have thought it'd be a given that cheap-ass paper and expensive colouring pencils don't mix all that well.

I'm really glad you decided to post the lineart. Best of both worlds with it up. And, you get twice the comments if people (like me) are comment hounds with too much love to go around.

*gasp* You almost gave Prowl BROWN eyes? What were you thinking, woman? Sacrilege of the entire scene! What are we to do with you?

I adore "The World is Darker"- songs like that, with the haunting, sometimes macabre imagery and haunting melodies are so fascinating. Even if you don't like the song, it ends up stirring something in you...

Hahaha, don't look a gift horse in the mouth! Jazz looks utterly fantastic and it would be best that we simply ogle him, love him, possibly grope him, without questioning how he came be. :grope: You may adore his eyes, but can you kiss them?

Pull anything off, huh? I bet he couldn't pull off a dress! Unless it was on another person- he'd have no trouble pulling it off then.. Yeppers, it's a diamond stun in his left earlobe. ^_^ And, because he probably picked the stud up while doing his rounds as a devil-in-merchant's-clothes, that diamond is probably coated in blood.

Objective achieved.

... Thorough I will give you, but I'm not always prompt I still haven't done the new 'Collide'.

Genius such as that to be found in the Art War is not to be rushed I'll be most surprised when it appears

But they hate me They HATE me. And I pretty much hate them right back. *grumbles* I own sets from: Faber Castell, WH Smith the spectrum sings, Derwent Artists, Caran d'Ache Supracolor II Soft, Sanford Colorific, Chiltern Woods, Lyra Ferby/Ferby Lyra (I can't tell), and the ever-loved Crayola. HAPPY??? Frikkin' pencil Nazi.
It may seem obvious to you, but to someone who never uses colored pencils and does all her lineart on crappy-cheap pre-printed-on file paper...

Hah, hardly any comments, but I like practicing my art I actually applied something I've learned from Jewel 2.0 to my A2 art last week

It was the forgetfulness ;_; Forgive me!! I remembered in the end!!!

I like songs that are poetry. Where the lyrics are meaningful and hopefully full of imagery. Songs by people like Britney can't even hope to cut it, but ones like "The World is Darker" are so much more interesting to listen to, and more powerful, as well.

Groping without question or preamble? I'll leave you to it Of couse you can kiss the eyes! You should only be worried if they begin to kiss back...

You don't think he could pull off a dress? I dunno... I bet he could rock a dress, whether for reals or for the fun of it As for your latter point, he would probably revel in the occasion to rip a dress from someone's body

That's an unpleasant mental image. A reminder of a sordid past

One more thing to tick off the list

You're prompter than I am. You, at least, submit your reviews within a two week window. My commenting, on the other hand, was over a month late. x_x

lol~ We'll see about that...

Now was that so hard? Honestly? Those are very lovely colouring pencils, by the way. A very lovely collection I wish I could get my hands on. Yes, I am a pencil Nazi. Fear me.

Well, when you put it that way... It just seems obvious to me for most artistic mediums, though; the higher the quality of materials, the better they turn out.

Really? What was if that you learned from Jewel 2.0 that you were able to apply in class?

You shall be forgiven, but only because you remembered in the end.

*sigh* Britney... her lyrics are so shallow, you could stand in a puddle full of them and not even get your boots wet. -_-

I don't mean the eyelids, but the actual eyeball. Can you imagine kissing that? I can, but the awkwardness of it would be... you know, awkward. And then there is the very real issue of eyes kissing back. That is when you check into the psyche ward and not check out.

I think he could rock a kilt, but not an all out dress. He may not be Scottish, but hot men + kilts = pretty damn awesome.


Jazz has a long and bloody past perhaps best left unsaid for the most part.

Yay!

I do have a deadline to spur me on God forbid you update a story before I've reviewed the previous chapter

Yesss, we shall seee

I had to go aaaall the way upstairs! And through the bead curtain! That thing is a freaking booby trap, I swear. I trip over it at least twice a week Slowly but surely, my friend; the same way all collections are amassed ... *throws biro at you*

Alright. It should have been obvious You forget to whom you are speaking

Oh, Jewel 2.0 is an experiment in color theory, layering, and texture (ab)use I used my newfound adoration of pitting yellow and purple against each other

Thank you for your kind forgiveness You're a good person.

Her new song is mind-numbing. Or, it's new over here -- it might be old news for you Something about living in sin? Although my all-time favorite crappy Britney lyric is from 'Womanizer': 'Maybe if we both lived in a different world, (womanizer womanizer womanizer yeah/womanizer) it would be all good and baby I could be your girl but I can't cause we don't.' *facepalm*

Eeew, sticky eyeball luvvin' >,< It'd drive anyone crazy!!

What about a very tasteful shirt-and-skirt number? No, not a kilt Men only look bad in kilts if they have scrawny little chicken legs.

Ooooooh, scary plotting emoticon.

Awww, you have a bean curtain? I've always wanted one of those, but it'd be ripped down within a few days around here. >.< Funny how you're slowly but surely amassing a collection of things you can't stand.

I forget constantly. Thank god you remind me.

Ah, I see~ Well, at least things you do in your free time also lend to life elsewhere. It's nice when things work out like that.

Shhhhh, don't tell people that!


Huh, the song sounds familiar- it's a couple weeks (months?) old... as for the 'Womanizer' one. Urgh.


Actually, a very nice shirt-and-skirt number might work. Nothing too skanky, though.


Bits and pieces will be revealed as different stories progress.

Aw, that makes me feel all fuzzy inside <-- lol, fuzzy image fits perfectly
Incidentally, I just checked to make sure the reviews appeared for 'Come' 45, as per my paranoia that they didn't actually submit (*crazy!*), and I noticed that they get more and more sarcastic, caustic, and violent as they progress... I wanted to apologize for that

Fear it! Fear the scary plotting emoticon!!

No no, I have a BEAD curtain It's technically a bunch of square mirrors rather then beads, and it's there because when our house was extended and they had to put another room sprouting off of mine, the builders forgot to install the door Hello bead curtain of DOOM.
Also, if you want to get technical, the collection is amassing, I am not amassing IT I am powerless before my aunt and her love of colored pencils!!

Absolutely no problem

Sometimes you have to make things work out like that if you want them to

*is hushed* Forgive me, oh tyrannical bringer of unspeakable atrocities!!!


Yeah that sounds about right. Thankfully they've stopped playing 'Womanizer' on the radio so it doesn't come on every ten minutes in Art I shudder to think of what she'll spew out next


'Skanky'? Jazz is offended by the very idea of him dressing like a skank.


Which ones? 8D

Pffftttt, doesn't matter how sarcastic, caustic, or violent they were- they're reviews and I'm not about to turn my nose up at them. They're one of the greatest lights I have in this dark time.

I fear it in an entertained way!

But bean ones are more organic and pretty! Plastic beads never decay! They're a menace to the earth! x_x
It's not like yo have to keep the collection if you don't want it. You could give it away to someone who likes the stuff and simply tell your aunt you misplaced it.

That's much better! 8D


Don't tempt her. I'm sure her next atrocity is waiting in the wings. x_x


Jazz would make a very lovely skank, though. I've come across fanfiction where he is, in fact, a skank!

You won't fear it in an entertained way when the plot comes to fruition O_O

Not if you keep the curtain forever and for always!
True. I am, however, a chronic pack rat. My sister had to go through my clothes last week because I had gone way beyond running out of storage space She threw away TONS that I hadn't worn in years but couldn't throw away myself

Glad to have pleased you, my malaciously evil tormentor


It's being restrained by electric cages. Anything less and its own destructive power shall be unleashed upon the innocent and unsuspecting masses


Right then. I think I may have the wrong definition of skank Isn't a skank a cheaply-dressed, filthy, bitchy whore (yes, whore, not prostitute)?

You can be as snappish as you want if you'll always be that into the chapters. I don't know what it is as of late, but everyone seems to have disappeared. It's really rather disconcerting. Oh well, if all goes according to plan, As We Come Together will be done by June and May We Never Let Go's prologue will be up and show all those bastards what a good story this thing still is!

Until then, I shall enjoy my enjoyment!

No, but you're not meant to keep anything forever and for always. At least the beans go back to the Earth. Plastic doesn't.
Threw away, or gave away to second-hand shops? 'Cause it would be a mighty sham if all those clothes just went to waste ;_; I don't have the option of storage- all my clothes are stuffed into a small plastic storage box in the corner. No space for anything else.

Deliciously please, my delectably diabolical fiendish friend.

Make the masses jades and suspicious, and then unleash the monster! It'll be fun!

I guess, but I've always used skank as a synonym for whore, no more, no less. :/

Indeed; one would always choose a cheerful fungus over a grouch-puss fungus, n'est pas? They don't smell as rancid

I'm sure it's the time of year. This is when people are busy with real life -- if you get 'May We Never Let Go' out during the summer, there will be a lot more people out there reading

But it's bittersweet with the knowledge of the horror that awaits!!

Better that the plastic is hanging from strings in my doorway than festering in a landfill somewhere as an old milk carton
Oh, gave to charity shops We didn't hurl them all in for the garbage men You could get stacking boxes? Or those fabric shelves that hang from the ceiling! I love those things!!

No, thou fiend! Not the alliteration!! *shrivels*

It's only fun if while the Britney song is released upon the jaded masses, you are locked within a soundproofed room to watch the carnage

There you go. Here it has drastically unpleasant connotations. Calling a prostitute a skank is like calling a homosexual a faggot

Yay! Horror!

Yes, but someday you will be done with those plastic beads and they will eventually end up in a landfill somewhere >.<
Ah, that's a relief. Complete strangers will be able to enjoy your clothes now.
*sigh* There's no room for any of that. >.<

Alliteration is fun!

Ah, yes, that is the only way the massacre could be enjoyed.

It's a narrow thing. There's a good reason fungi are not a part of our staple diet Don't tell me: there just so happens to be some culture out there somewhere for whom fungi comprises most of their staple diet?

I'm sure the summer will bring the readers crawling out of the woodwork. If you remember the same lull happening last year I'm even more convinced

*sigh* You're a tough cookie to terrify. If you get jollies out of horror, what DOES scare you? (Besides the one I already know )

Don't hold your breath I cling quite spectacularly to my childhood Everyone loves bead curtains, and since mine is mirrors, it'll match any decor
Lol, my old Betty Boop and Roxy shirts that had to be pried from my hands I hope they're well loved *wipes single tear from eye*
Really? Couldn't you hang some storage in the corner where your box currently is?

Mushrooms are a part of our diet, though. Lots of people adore all kinds of mushrooms! People even smoke them! Yes, there probably is a culture out there where fungi is part of their staple diet, more so than simply an additive here. We eat everything else as a staple in some place, so why not 'shrooms?

*nods* Just have to keep up the hope until then

Not a lot, other than the one you know, scares me, now that I think about it. I can say that there is a lot that I don't agree with, that I don't trust, and am very wary of, but outright terror don't apply to any of it. :/

Yes, but after you're gone? That bead curtain will still be somewhere, most likely ending up in a landfill somewhere. >.<
They will be well loved, don't worry. Someone will buy them

And have the room look even smaller than it is with the loss of space? Urgh, no thanks. >.< I'll keep my tiny box.

Thankfully, skank isn't a word used on a regular basis, so it's unlikely I'll slip up somewhere

But they're not a staple food! They're sort of a... garnish-type thing. Not quite exotic, but not exactly everyday either. They're probably actually really good to have in your diet. Except the poisonous ones Those ones are probably not so good to eat on a regular basis

It's not that long; and hope is one thing that's easy to cling to

*sigh* Lucky. You're just a bit suspicious of everything The perfect conspiracy theorist

What if I leave the curtain in my will, and it becomes an heirloom, and stays with my descendants until humans exist no more?

Your tiny box feels the love Your tiny room does not

It's always the peculiar words that you need to be wary of... they sneak up on you and you haven't paid enough attention to them to know what trouble they'll get you in...

People make things difficult by being so thrice-damned varied ¬_¬ I personally can't stand the slimy little things, while my cousin would probably consider them a staple part of her diet Mm, I heard about that in Biology. It's kind of off-putting that they're part of the natural system of decaying matter, isn't it? It's like eating kidney -- do you have any idea what the function of the kidney is?? If so, how could you possibly eat it?? It's like "Titus Andronicus", when the mother enjoys the pie and is then told that the meat in it was her sons

That's a cop-out Nobody I've ever known to give something up for Lent has been able to do it

Your dad has his wise moments


You LIE That doesn't even make sense

Opposites of the same thing attract. Magnets, energy... in our case, lunatics 8D

Urgh, I'm with you on the not-liking mushrooms thing. I adore fungus, but that does mean I want to eat it >.< They're a beautiful part of nature. The sheer variety of shapes and poisons they come in is enthralling! It's like what I mentioned about Bataille's work, being attracted to that which disgusts and frightens us.


You're so right. Lent is such a funny thing- I've never understood it. XD

They're far and few between -___-

Haha, we're the opposite kinds of lunacy XD

It's like so many things in life! You can love puppies and flowers and your favorite scarf, but that doesn't mean you wish to consume them I like the glowing ones!! 8D Fungi can be nasty and therefore morbidly attractive, but in a lot of ways they're just aesthetically attractive and therefore we like them... like toadstools


Lent is a fabulous example of the mix&match Christianity of our society -_-

Which only makes them that more precious!

The calm, rational, part-time lunatic and the... the other kind

...I've always wondered what dog meat tasted like Bioluminescence is freakin' awesome! It makes me wish I could do it! 8D I like the ones that glow, but I also adore the ones hat can give you a great and horrible death.

I swear, I could become a Pagan right now and still be considered a Christian somewhere. That's how mix&match it is -___-

Like "Quick! Mark the calendar! he said something smart!" kind of moments...


I wonder which of us is the 'other' kind...

That does not surprise anyone in the slightest But that's quite different from seeing an adorable puppy and thinking, "Aww!! NOM."
I wish humans were bioluminescent!! Maybe one day, with all the chemicals we consume

Exactly. Defining a Christian is nigh impossible, because the religion has been so poisoned. And it hardly means anything to say you're a Christian anymore -_- There are so many people out there who give us a bad name ¬_¬

And then you can celebrate the event every year!! 8D


It's probably best we never make it explicit

Yes, quite different I'd say. There have been a lot of things I've looked at and wondered about how they've tasted, people included :/
Radioactive glow-in-the-dark humans!

Poisoned or coloured outside the original lines, depending on how you see it There's hardly any religion now that is exactly the same as it had been hundreds or thousands of years ago.

Yay~

Alright...

Who hasn't? We're all infants inside; wanting to experience the world with taste

Bioluminescent hoomins are on the horizon

Religion is generally dependent on its lines, though Without them... they're not that religion anymore. Society has been changing so much that there's just no way religion couldn't have been affected alongside it.

Any chance to throw a party

Yes, because every infant has wondered what human flesh has tasted like...

I await that day with glee! :dance

Some are line-driven, mostly repressive religions (like the majority of all world religions), but there are many religions where the lines are really blurry and you can simply go with what you feel is right ^_^


Parties are fun! 8D

You have clearly never been gnawed on for hours at a time by your baby cousin The only reason babies aren't considered cannibals is the fact that they can't, technically, bite you: they can just gum you. As Suri said in "Dinosaur": "This monster's got no teeth! What's he gonna do? Gum us to death?"

We'll use less energy! Not needing to switch on the lights at night

I suppose Christianity has all its denominations... meaning it doesn't really have as many lines as they'd like you to think Unfortunately, that does lead to the mix&matching. Like the Prop 8 musical...


Your parties probably more so than others

No, I've been fortunate enough to have never been forced to be close to my baby cousins for long periods of time. 8D
Hahaha, gumming someone to death. That would be a funny way to go

The ambiance would be so amazing!

Not only denominations, but different cultural practices as well. It's crazy!
Hahahaha, Proposition 8 is epic!


Mine are wild, but they end abruptly, either with me deciding I've had enough to people and tell them to get out, or the cops come in to break it up. XD
