You sleep. I'm going to pig out and watch movie adaptations of Jane Austen novels for a little bit. Carly and I might watch Alien tonight, I'm in the mood for seeing big scary monster chomp small humans.

Haha, epic nap was epic. Then I played some WoW to kill time before I'm meeting one of my convention friends for dinner, hehehe. I'm not sure what's going on tonight, but text me or something.

Thank you!! <3 Yeah, I'll probably be posting it somewhere when it's finished at last. :3

That is. So cute.
You only ever seem to see wolves on dA these days (in terms of animals XD) and some horses, I guess, so its interesting to see something out of the ordinary. Pangolin!
I really like the background, too. :3 Duriaaaans XD Even though I personally am not that fond of them >_>

Agreed. I got fed up with people (doing trades and the like) forever asking me to draw wolves, that's part of the reason I stopped posting them for the most part. xD
I want to draw more interesting critters! I love watching Animal Planet, it's a great way to get inspired for me. I love finding out about crazycool animals I never knew existed.
I'm not terribly fond of them either, but when it comes down to it they do mean home to me, and maybe I just needed a way to touch base with that. :3 Over summer it was durian season and that meant many nights sitting around the dinner table with my family and a mass of durians, talking about random whatever. I got inspired!
Thanks, Sage, it always means a lot that you enjoy what I do.

XD I've loved wolves since I was a small kid, so it's pretty depressing to see the way they're maimed on dA. Real wolves are not skinny neon pink fluffballs, damnit. DX
Animal Planet rocks. <3 But now whenever I turn on the TV it's cuz I wanna use the Wii. Haha. XD;
That's pretty interesting, we never really do anything like that. XD Any shared food is normally icecream or pizza.
And thanks, that actually means a lot to me. <3 Just keep putting your heart into your work.

Seriously. xD! I just find the sparklewolf craze somewhat amusing, though I do admit to being fond of turning things unnatural colours just for giggles.
omgWII. <33333 BRAWL. <3333333 *shot again*

BRAWL. <33333333 Do you have a main?
I have to agree, it is pretty humorous. Just search "rainbow fursona" and to see the kind of things that pop up is hilarious.
It's also funny how these people don't realise a fursona should be an animal that represents them... XD Or maybe they do. o_O
Which is disturbing.

Kirby was my main in Melee, so using him is still fun and comfy for me. But I'm trying to get more used to Sonic -- I was a Sega kid so it's kind of a big deal for me that he's playable. xD I tried him out for kicks and actually like playing with him a lot. I like Pokemon Trainer and Zelda too.
Yeah, but I find that sparklethings is a phase that people seem to grow out of. It's like any other trend, eventually people get it out of their system and move on to finding themselves. Most of the people that draw this stuff are preteens that don't know who the heck they are anyway -- and I get to say that because I certainly didn't know crap when I was a preteen. xD

I never had melee (The Wii was the first non-handheld console I had), and never really played any Sega games, so contrasts there XD
Hmn, I notice both pokemon trainer and Zelda have alternate "forms"... I wonder if there's a trend or I'm just going major lit/history student on you? XD
(Oh oh oh what was your subject combo? I'm just so curious 8D)
I'm most comfortable with Pit (I use him ALL the time, he fits my fighting style perfectly); but I also like Wolf, Marth, and funny enough, Link.
That's good XD I was semi-sparkledog when I started out, but my wolves were never really super-skinny leg-warmer piercing types. Just crazy colours and often powers which I used the "fantasy" excuse.
Not saying that fantasy's bad or anything, I love it, but I just abused the term. XD
Yeah, when I was a pre-teen I was still nuts about dragons- for the longest term I had a mega-dragon craze. I still love them, but not as insanely as I used to.

Nope, not really. I almost never play as Sheik, and I only switch out Pokemon when I'm forced to pretty much. I'd use just one Pokemon the whole fight, if it wasn't impractical.
(Full Lit, half Geog half SS. They got rid of the half geog option after my year, so it was lucky for me I actually got to do it. History and I don't mix well. xD)
Have you completed Subspace Emissary yet? That was a good excuse for me to use characters that I don't normally use and it was a surprising amount of fun.
Fantasy is a lot of fun, but fantasy doesn't mean OMG ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING GOES. Well, technically it does, I suppose, but that doesn't make a character or story good. xD

Hmn, that's interesting. I find Sheik's a little too fast for me; but I prefer her to Zelda in some ways.
Eh? But we have half geog as an option now. XD Hmn... I guess they reinstated it? Hmn XD
Yes I have 
Yes XD As I have finally learnt. Some of my childhood ideas I now look back on and laugh. XD

They must have! That's good, because I remember being disappointed that it was going.
YES and this one was such a huge extended thing compared to the other games!! Maybe I'm just another wii-tard but I think SSB has just gotten better and better since the first game - which is great.
Seriously. They're fun to laugh at though!

That's great X3 I'm not much of a geog person myself, but meh.
Sciences? Bio-chem here, mate. Can't-do-physics-for-nuts-will-fail-amath XD
That's awesome

YES ME TOO. 
I actually only really got into it just now. I played Melee but never very seriously, and when I actually started to play the first game and get the hang of the controls etc. (after a very long time of watching my brother pwn all comers), the GameCube and Melee came out shortly after. With Brawl I'm actually having an easier time with the controls and the fairly regular fights I have with my friends are helping me improve.

Awesome XD And that's great
Hah that's funny X3 And best of luck, I'm sure you'll be great!
