An Important Message
…
 Closure Is what this picture gave me. I don’t know if you remember, but my backpack was stolen in March. The very first original was in that backpack. Along with a lot of other things. My friend Claire had asked me to draw something for her; she looked so excited that I couldn’t really say no! But then again, there was no reason for me to say no. The idea behind this was literally her asking me to draw something for her, and then her face suddenly looked worried and she said “but, it’s going to be goofy, isn’t it?” Yes, Claire, yes it is. So I redrew the entire thing last week, and hey! It turned out even better! Especially since it’s inked! So I hope you all like this; and you should all learn an important lesson! Here’s the original drawing pre-photoshop. So since I doodle arbitrarily sometimes, I have several side projects that I hope to complete someday. One is a graphic novel that I’ve been wanting to finish for a while. Another one is this! Sarah gave me the idea for this, I expect that all you loyal readers out there should figure out who is who! I also thought I’d do a contest; you should see that there isn’t a Red Ranger. Can you guess who it is?! If you do, I’ll draw you an avatar! If I already told you who it is, then you can’t guess! So go ahead, astound me with you deductive skills! Post your guesses below. ~Tirumari PS - if no one guesses by Friday, I’ll be linking to another concept drawing, and maybe you’ll be able to figure it out then? PPS - I really do give awesome high-fives. I except you all to high-five me the next time you see me in rl. Or online. Either one. |
 On the proper etiquette and use of high-fives 1. High-fives are meant for people who are truly awesome. Never high-five someone you despise. 2. By the same token, low-fives are not a sign of disrespect, but should only be used after a high-five. 3. Only use a “too slow” for those you are really good friends with. New acquaintances will often take this as an offensive gesture, however, if given to a BFF, the laughter produced is entirely healthy and does not conceal any hostile sentiments of face-ripping. 4. The strength of the high-five is directly correlated to how much the person respects you. If it hurts, suck it up. It’s a good type of pain. 5. The number of hands used for a given high-five is also an indicator of your relationship with a person. Always accept the two-hander with gratitude and humility. 6. Always reattempt weak or missed high-fives. To do otherwise shows the greatest disrespect and only serves to engender feelings of awkwardness. 7. Always five people on the hand. A hand on the back is not a five. Neither is one on the ass, no matter how finely shaped. That’s just sexual harassment. 8. Always wash your hands before high-fiving. You never know where those hands have been or what they’ve been doing. 9. Never leave the initiator of a high-five hanging. This is rude. High-fives should always be reciprocated on pain of a swift and brutal kick. 10. High fives from any member of the Thoughtpennies team automatically makes you cool, sexy, and socially appealing in all regards. Never forget this.

 I never have any fun Tj never gives me highfives… Anyways… school has officially started for me and I gotta say, today wasn’t TOO bad. I’m not sure what the future will hold but it seems my Math teacher is a very nice woman and is very sociable since she pretty much begged us to come visit her in her office. By the time this is posted, it will be Tuesday and I’ll have my Religion class. I’ll just hope for the best. Unfortunately, I didn’t get much sleep on Sunday night and went into class on about three hours of sleep. So at the moment, I’m very tired and wanting for a nap but I’m also wanting to draw or RP. orz ~Amanda |

Pfeh, you forgot that it’s perfectly alright to leave your enemies hanging if they are clueless and attempt to initiate a five.
Also: Amanda was already sexy, cool, and socially appealing in all respects. What would happen if somebody else from TP tried to give her five?

*refers Josh to the first rule which is superior to all others*
August 20th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Bah. I’ll refer you to the Seto Kaiba rule: “Screw the rules, I have green hair!”
August 20th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Also, your rule one is neglecting actively spiteful actions. It’s not a matter of whether or not the person is awesome; that there’s just asking to open up a can of perspective worms. The reality is that, you ought be allowed to actively forego giving someone you hate a high five, ESPECIALLY if they’re completely in the dark about it. What happens if *they* think they’re awesome, even if you despise their guts? Hmmm? Ignorance is no excuse! I say leave them hanging. Let ‘em squirm.

w… waaaait a minute… something was bothering me about what you said… I decided to look it up… and I was right! Seto Kaiba has brown hair!!! How could you, Wallwalker!
