For Those Who Have Rocked...

So it's been a little over a week since I've updated so in keeping with my promise I'll tell what's been going on.

So Christmas came and went. I really enjoyed it this year for some reason. More so than I have in the past two years. I believe it's because this was the first semester I've lived away from home and I don't see my parents too often even though I live only 20 minutes away. I got some good swag as usual. Here's a list of what I remember off the top of my head:

Okami
Soul Caliber 3
25$ Wal-Mart gift card
15$ Best Buy Gift Card
Comic book store gift certificate
ETSU shirt and gym shorts
Pen that has a laser pointer and LED flashlight in it.
Black Vest

After Christmas I pretty well lounged around and did very little. I had planned to go back to the apartment Saturday to play in the pep band for Sunday but I wound up staying home Saturday because I didn't feel like going back. I went to CHUMC that Sunday and went to lunch with a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a long time. It was fun but I was in a rush to get back to Johnson City to make the game and in fact didn't get to unpack until that night.

New Years Eve day was interesting. Michael and I went up to the Balds at Roan Mtn. We didn't go far or stay long because every bathroom around was closed for the holiday and I had to take a dump in the worse way. Plus neither of us really felt like going all the way like we had intended. I took some photos so I'll have to post them here soon. That night Will threw a New Years Eve party with some friends of his at the apartment so I hung out with them. Michael and Chelsey were planning on coming but worked screwed Chelsey out of that and Michael decided he didn't feel up to staying. Plus he had to drive 25 minutes back to Greenville afterwards so I understood. The party itself was tres fun. Chris Amodei ( sorry man I have no clue if that's right or not and really don't care at the moment) brought his Wii (hee hee I am so 5 years old, 5 and a half actually *sigh*) and Will's brother brought Guitar Hero 2. We played Ray-Man 2: Rabid Rabbids (?) on the Wii and then played a Family Guy DVD trivia game. We played Baulderdash for a little bit before midnight and then had a sparkling grape juice shot to the New Year. After that there was fighting, wrestling and Guitar Hero. Vague huh? Don't worry all were in good fun. And let us never speak of this again.

I've still been trying to come up with a concept for a comic strip. I can't seem to work out an idea that appeals to me but also would work in a comic strip format. Also I want the story to be an action adventure comedy. I keep going back to Courage the Cowardly Dog in terms of overall feel but also I keep thinking about other comic strips that are inspiring me.

Anyway, until next time...
