yamikonumber7 and I went to Disneyland yesterday and had a time of awesome! :D The traffic getting up there was a bit of a pain, but it was a beautiful day and the lines were manageable. We did many rides including Pirates, Indiana, Space Mountain, Matterhorn, and more! We wound up at Pirates first, and our boat was named Giselle, which amused me waaaaaay more than it should have. 8D; We ended up being right in front of a family with two young boys who were crying their hearts out throughout most of the ride. Poor kids! Hopefully the pirates will only traumatize them for a few years!

We talked KH (and bemoaned the lack of merchandise) and RP (aaaah plot with Mia!) and Disney-ness in general, and it was all around enjoyable! We actually went all the way up to Toontown, and during a rest there I did some quick gesture sketches. Forgot to bring my sketchbook, so you get lined paper:




Just people resting.



I started doing a bunch of forearms, because I have trouble with those.


Later in the evening we went and did the Roger Rabbit ride, which I'd only done once when I was little. HOLY CRAP THAT RIDE IS ON SO. MUCH. CRACK. You'd never guess so, tucked back into the "kiddie" section of Disneyland, but aaaaaaah my brain. D: Oh, and we did Astro Blasters twice in an effort to get our picture, but it never came out, WTF. That ride seems to favor being on the left side of the car. Oh, and Kia introduced me to the concept of pin trading, as we stopped often to do some trading. Holy crap I can see how pin trading can fast become addicting.

We ended up eating a very late dinner at House of Blues. Expensive, but the wait was shortest, plus they had that deliiicious rosemary cornbread, yum. o_o And I got salmon, which is always delicious. Of course, snagged myself some Disneyland fudge before leaving, too. :3

Thank you for going with me, Kia, it was tons of fun and we should do it again soon! :D


And Saturday was cool, but last night I had a weird and rather disturbing nightmare. It started out with me helping this detective pull a dead body out of this fancy, rich pool...I was helping bring him tools and stuff. And I was oddly detached from the whole thing. Then, it somehow ended up that I was staying at this same house with the couple that lived there as part of some kind of internship...something that would help me get into a career I wanted. But UGH, it was a miserable and aggravating experience! The house itself was more than a little bizarre. In the upper floors and attic, it looked like there were these agonized human forms carved into the walls and ceiling. And the house wasn't proportionate...the couple who lived in it often seemed doll-sized in comparison to how big the house was. Sometimes I'd be unnaturally small, and sometime I'd be the right size, but I always FELT small.

The couple were fighting all the time, and in fact both were cheating on the other. Somehow they thought I didn't know, even though it was painfully obvious, as they'd be having their respective cheating-partners over all the time. At night the wife would invite in all these animals, like opossums, badgers and foxes, but they were strange colors, and it would make the husband angry. The house was really lavish but filthy, and there was just STUFF strewn everywhere or gunk collecting in places. I was supposed to take care of everything, especially run baths for the couple because I could reach the faucet at proper size, but I was sleeping on this matted carpet and I wasn't eating. And then some friends stopped by (Lauren from school, and Ona and Olanda?) and I wanted to say what a horrible situation this was, but I couldn't because it meant that I'd be ruining my future career by messing up this internship.

By the end, I was pulling the wife out of that moldy pool (was she the dead body?) where she'd been trying to drown herself to get her cheating husband's attention. And I had just about reached the point where I wanted to scream and yell and kick them both in the TEETH for being such whiny, filthy, spoiled, selfish, rotten children...but then I woke up. D: ...*shudder*


Ohhh man, classes start back up again tomorrow. XO And rechecking my schedule, I've discovered I have to drive in EVERY day except Wednesday, and I have night classes on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Maybe I can work my way out of going in Thursday, because it's just for a lab, and damned if I wanna spend the gas just to drive in for a lab. :/ But either way, AAAAAAAHHH tomorrow! Starting off with gesture drawing! This should be an interesting last term!

Drawing: Much of the same stuff.

Writing: RP. AAAAH PLOTTINESS.
