You did pretty well on how you sketched out her anatomy and did her gorgeously soft hair. Her eyes are so gorgeous.

wow. i really like this one. the expression is lovely although she looks a lil upset.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! She does, doesn’t she? Perhaps someone has offended her subtly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She looks like a bigger threat than the other girl, but the other looks more suited to the alpha-female position.
This one looks more world-wise and like she works out.

Perhaps she can administrate some undercover attacks among the social network?
I think she’s older money, while the other girl is newer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure. She could do that... are the people in your school actually into undercover attacks?
Makes sense. In my experience people who are not pretending to be richer or more important than they are tend to be alright. Upper middle class types that buy saabs and pretend to be rich are almost always jerks, lower income families that put themselves into unfixable debt so that they can look middle class are shallow and high-strung, and we all know about the wealthy that think that they are royalty. Hmpf!

Oh, no, I just think it could be plausible, is all.
That was quite a rant on class! Filled with negative stereotypes I might add. I can only hope that you are facetious. Then again, stereotypes exist for a reason…

It was quite a rant, but it was not really all that emotional on this end. I also did not mean for the people-types I mentioned to be taken as representing the whole class into which they fit. (Class is semi-fictitious anyway) I was talking about status seekers, mostly. Gold-type personalities that never learned to be honest. heh. (actually I know a few people that fall into that category that I rather like... still, I wish they would just be honest)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Status is such a strange thing. People go after it so adamantly, but once they get it, they usually can’t handle it properly. Like your actors who become too famous too fast, then crash and burn. (I don't understand why people would put out so much effort to appear more rich than they actually are instead of actually working to become so).

Yeah... it must do something for us as mammals, otherwise it wouldn't be so potent this late in our evolution... still, it's riddled with difficulties and ethical dilemmas. I think I feel the same way about grades. Which is probably why I didn't do very well in highschool. (Personally, I don't know why anyone would want to appear rich in particular. Given the choice between appearing rich and apearing AWESOME, I would take the latter. heh, if you see me on the street you would notice that I only give a small amount of thought to my own appearance.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Who says our evolution is late? It's simply current as far as I can see. I have difficulties doing well in subjects that I didn't see the point of, like 'mandatory electives'. (I think a lot of people are under the impression that rich is AWESOME, hence the struggle to become it. I don't know how I would look to you if saw me on the street. Probably like a girl who likes vertical stripes and paint on her pants.)

Er... well, late when we book end the process with now and the early days of amino-acid pools. So late in a relative sense. He he. Mandatory lectives. Obviously not named by an English teacher. One needs to be in touch with a motive to do anything. Interest is a great one, because it is right there. Long term success as a motive requires a lot of clever self-reminders. (yeah... suckers. While being rich could facilitate some capital awesomeness, one does not equal the other. Vertical stripes and paint on her pants? For some reason this conjures images of the carnival in my head.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Two of the English teachers taught them, and mostly found them pointless as well. One made no effort, and the other pushed as hard as she could. I wish I had had the latter. I would have had an interest if the classes where actually about what they were supposed to be (creative writing turned out to be a review on grammar and how to write essays for standardized tests) but even then I probably would have barely passed. (I like button-down dressy shirts with vertical stripes, and I tend to wipe my brushes on my jeans in art class. The carnival? I missed it this year and am disappointed.)

In my highschool we had a silly intro to school class called transition. Many other schools call it Basics or some such. I had Mr. Hovorka, a Harvard educated football player who loved the movie "Valley Girl." He tried really hard, we all made out job applications, planned trips, analysed film, did checkbooks, taxes and voter registrations. We also did basic public speaking and he talked about his embarrassing military training. I thought he was great but he though I hated him. The star player on the team he coached (varsity?) was killed for a gang innitiation that year. (We don't get real carnys in California. There are no midways in this state. County fairs, amusement parks like Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm seem to have worked with Hollywood to keep festivals and attractions locally controlled. They overcharge us, but we aren't cheated as often... so it evens out.)

That...was awfully sad. (A carny once flirted with my sister, giving her one of the goldfish that were given out as prizes even though she lost the game. He asked her if she had a cell phone, she said yes, he asked if he could has the number, she said no and walked away. The fish was named Rejection and died a week later)

Sorry. (That was a bit sad too, but actually makes a great story. You should make a comic strip of that. heh.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't be, I just sympathize with that teacher. It seems like he cared a lot about his students then had one of them killed...
(Haha, maybe. I'm sure my sister would like it.)

Hovorka was great, but there was bad luck... or maybe just fickle luck, so I guess just a lot of luck, surrounding him. He led an existance that South American Catholics would find very poigniant. You know how grown ups are bad at determining the age of the young? Parents often thought Hovo was one of the students. I'll bet he is taken much more seriously. It's funny, but there were arrests, but no one was ever sentenced over that crime. Rudy Cordova, who I knew and talked with often in elementary school, was a prime suspect. He was there that night, and was probably on the shooting side, but it turned out he never held the gun. All very strange for our little whitebread town.
(I would like it. Using true stories as a guide for comedy is a brilliant way to learn.)

Probably because my only exposure to it is through movies like Freedom Writers and Couch Carter, the concept of high school gangs has always seemed strange to me. Juvenile, even. I mean…seriously, how could anyone who has seen otherwise think it was at all worth it?
(I actually like to come up with strips based on things happening around me, but never go about making them.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There were no real gangs at my school, all of that nonsense was imported form nearby cities. It is amazing what people will do to be part of something bigger than themselves especially if it accepts them. Couch Carter?
(Well then, you should get on that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Coach Carter…Samuel L Jackson coaches a basketball team of trouble teenage boys, one of which is on the verge of joining some gang, and basketball is apparently the only thing that can save him.
(I actually want to write a short story involving characters you know in a situation that never happened, based on the first line ‘It was a long story, involving some paperclips, a time-machine and an umbrella, but Eric didn’t feel like telling the County Sheriff that.” The story will probably be entitle “This Never Happened”. I’ll write it once I figure out what happens.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually I saw the movie. You had spelled it "Couch Carter" I thought I was missing a joke.
(This is a very good plan. The opening is a good hook and the title sounds pretty cool. Do you or Eric know the county sheriff?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, no, sorry, just a typo.
(Thank you. No, niether of us know him, but his and Eric's meeting will be interesting, considering the circumstance.)

Dude, I haven't watched The N in like, two years. Is there a show like that on now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's like these commercials on it, where this fat balding man is giving the different characters from all the shows therapy, like an AA meeting.
And he says, "We're all frenemies here."
I thought it was hilarious.
Oh but yeah there are still tons of frenemy shows.
Channel 133. Watch it. xD

what does "frenamies" mean, Ruby, could you tell me?
i really like her expression a lot, very subtely contemptuous, disturbing a bit, she seems much less frenetic than the one that "Rhymes with Rich" to me, much colder and maybe bored with life a bit
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Frenemies" is a combination of the words "friends" and "enemies", implying that people who are frenemies are friends, but rivals of some sort. It's a silly made-up word.
Thank you! I’m glad you like it. She does seem more mature than the other one, doesn’t she?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
she definitely does
