Take care,

ty for commenting:D
its comforting that you like details cuz this is probably my first piece which actually has details lol. tyvm

Ahhhh! Nee-chan! It's been freakin' ages since last time I came by! (It's been ages since last time I came on MT) How have you been! I feel terrible for not asking before Sorry!
I was listening to CowBe soundtrack yesterday; when I listened to "Is It Real" I immediately thought of you ^_^ so I thought "hey! I have to stop by!".
Well as for me, there's not much to tell to be honest ^^ I've been taking comics lessons and I'm quite happy cuz I'm learning plenty of that, and on monday I begin french... Once I'm done with comics lessons I'll learn some proper japanese, and maybe some latin afterwards. How about you? What have you been up to?

I'm doing well, thanks for asking, and I'm glad to hear from you . I'm currently working on my school's production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as one of the tech. people who help with scene changes and putting props on (tonight's the premier).
I started reading "Chronicles of the Cursed Sword", and was reminded of that comic of yours I'd read a bit ago-how's that going, by the way? Again, great to get a message from you!
Take care,
~"TreaGirl".

Yay, I'm glad to know you're ok! That's just good good news. Oooh and this whole play thing sounds NEAT! I wish I had taken part in any plays when I was in highschool but they never got around doin' one. I hope you tell me how that play came along ^^

"Chronicles of the Cursed Sword"? What is it about? Is it a book or a comic? Sounds interesting~!

My comic's coming along good, I'm redoing it since I've learned quite a share of things, and it's soon gonna be up on the internet again ^^

Again it was neat hearing from you and I hope to get word from you soon ^^

Haoh77

thanks for faving "The First Child"! ^^

Just stopping by and saying hello. thanx for the comment on Far Away. I am so glad that you liked it. many appreciation and <3

Quote by TrigunPreacherGirlVery cute; great job on the details (hair, clothes and ruffles, etc.). The ears seem a bit faded, though, without any "harsh", clear lines defining them. All in all, however, very amazing work, here!
Take care,
~"TreaGirl".

Hi there! Thanks for the comments
cya and have a nice weekend

i realised how many of my forums you have posted in and its alot. so thanks for your supports, so have fun!

Thanks for the fav for When the Days Were Long. (and the title too. hehe)

Quote by TrigunPreacherGirlVery cute, and I wonder how the hair would stay on that balloon . I really like her outfit, especially the suspenders; you have a good eye for shading, in my opinion. One thing you might want to keep working on, though, would be her eyes (she looks traumatized or disgusted with something). All in all, though, very nice work, and the idea is amusing. Great work!
Take care,
~"TreaGirl".

thanks soo much for the comment!

Quote by TrigunPreacherGirlVery nice use of colors and shading; it's been a while since I've seen this style of artwork (almost too cute ). Great work, all in all!

Thanks a lot!
More to come very soon!

Quote:
Warm Fuzzies! Sounds like Muppet stuff, now that I think of it. I don't know if philosophic natures can be passed on through genes, though; learned, maybe. Everyone's different, don't worry (I'm half asleep from lack of sleep-I've been working on finishing the last Harry Potter book, which, thankfully, I did so last night. Now, I can't get to sleep until really late at night, sometime around the early morning, wheee!) Speaking of Harry Potter, in regard to your last question about whether or not we were putting on a HP play in my dream: I don't think so, it's just that the Drama teacher reminds me a very tiny bit of Alan Rickman's character in HP (shows up silently, is a tad unnerving, has a rather deep voice, etc.).
If singing makes you happy, go for it and keep practicing (I mainly listen to music when I'm washing dishes, trying to keep my mind off of what I'm doing ). One of my family members thinks I'm horrible at it, and for a time, I didn't sing at all. Now, I'm just doing it alone (back to singing to the dishes again. I hope they don't break ). I love your artwork *looks mock affronted*; it's very neat!
I've seen most of Evangelion, and I'm happy about the fact that Romeo and Juliet is being made into an anime. I agree, NGE is very heavy and metaphorical (gotta love the deep anime).
It was great hearing from you!
Take care,
~"TreaGirl".

Yea, philosophy probably isn't passed by generations through genes, I just like to state impossible hypothesis like that one for the kicks. You know, it helps stimulate my creativity

Yea, when I go back home I'm gonna take singing lessons, and if my voice's good enough, I'm gonna write a few rock songs and record them... I'm dying to sing some rock sometime. I love rock for some reason. I'm not a punk, I'm not aggressive, I'm a very conventional person and I have nothing against the system, but I love rock... Go figure ^^ NOW THAT WE SPEAK ABOUT MUSIC I was downloading some more CowBe songs... I downloaded one called "Waste Land" which comes from the Jupiter Jazz sessions (remember Glen?) and guess what? I listened to it and thought "hey, this is gotta be the tune they play at my funeral!". So weird ^^;

Really, an anime about Romeo and Juliet? SWEET! They had plans of adapting some of Agatha Christie's novels to anime (mostly Poirrot's) but it seems the project was cancelled... And yea, there's nothing like deep anime. True, it can make you feel very unhappy or fearful, but... it's so fulfilling isn't it! they rock!

Anyway, how've you been? It's all fine over here, only 48 days left here in the UK!

Haoh77

thank you for adding heart by etoo to your favorites.

Quote: Interesting; yes, I agree about how humans are selfish. To be happy when someone else is happy... kind of gives a "warm fuzzy" feeling, wrapped in a smile, eh? Man, talk about sappy imagery, right? *Imagines a nicely folded blanket with a smilie face embroidered on it.*
In regard to the pool party, it was more of a metaphor; I'd be swimming, as well-I meant it in the "being on the outside looking in" sort of way. My apologies for being confusing!
Your art is awesome, and singing's something that can be defined a number of ways *raises eyebrow at all the kids listening to violent rap.* See ?
Hope this finds you happy and well,
~"TreaGirl".

Hiya! Wrapped in a smile, you say? Warm and fuzzy is the most accurate description for being "happy for someone else being happy". I'm actually using it all teh time.

And no, I understood your metaphor the wrong way, but again, that's quite common when it comes to the descendants of philosophers (my dad is, like, the connosieur of philosophy and tried to get me into it several times). I'm sure you descend from a philosopher as well, or have developed such genes, for it takes a questioning mind to develop such "out-of-the-hat" metaphores and concepts! I'm serious ^^

And yes, music can be listened to in all sorts of ways. Yesterday I saw a small plaque that said "Sing like no one is listening" and... well it's true. Singing makes me feel good, eventhough i suck at it. I'm not gonna release a record or anything *I'm still reasonable* but I love singing... And thanks! I hope you find my humble artwork enjoyable. Yet again, if you don't, well too bad. I do it for myself anyway ^^;

Anyway, how have you been? have you watched any interesting anime recently? I began watching DieBuster (or Gunbuster 2, or Top! Wo Nerae 2) and I just found it amazing! It's from the same guys behind Evangelion, and although it's only six OAVs, it's really cool. Did you ever see Evangelion? That series is heavy isn't it!

Anyway, I'll cut it for now. The screen looks more and more distant all the time! :? Hope to hear from you soon~~~

I miss you *glomps* T3T

Quote by TrigunPreacherGirl
"*coughRambocough*" I found that hilarious for some reason (I'm still laughing as I write). I'm like that too, in regard to the wondering about emotions; with films, I wonder what made the antagonist the way he or she is, what's driving them to do whatever it is they do (how do they see the main character? Is it similar to how the protagonist sees them?). One emotion I wonder about is affection, and why we feel a particular way toward someone. Interesting, though I get what you're talking about with feeling closer to atheists (hmm, the ultimate "you time": life on Earth).
Depression... for me, I usually feel really alienated from people; for example, say I'm at a pool party. Everyone's having fun, swimming and splashing, whereas I'm the one sitting on one of the chairs, watching. However, I don't think you're weird for having dreams that result in actual crying; I've had a dream like that, too (I cried in the dream, as well). Recently, my dreams have been about school (I was backstage, and the Drama teacher was walking around dressed like Prof. Snape from the Harry Potter movies).
I have pretty eclectic tastes in music ("If I Only Had a Heart" to some of My Chemical Romance's music, as well as some of the older stuff (Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, David Bowie, etc.). Unfortunately, most of my "lyrics" become free verse poetry, since I don't have a good grasp of how to compose music (played drums in middle school).
Take care,
~TreaGirl.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_and_Joon Basic info for "Benny and Joon" (apparently, I was misspelling it ).

Hi! It's me again! :3 Yes, human emotions are quite interesting, I always wonder where they come from... love is particularly interesting; I mean, real love, you know, that thing of "your happiness is my happiness" which is something I experienced recently (not as in "I loved this girl" or anything, I just found happiness while this person was happy); it's surprising because we humans are incredibly selfish beings you see, and *in theory* if we wanted to be happy, we should have all the things we want with us; yet again, I know people who love someone and are happy to because that someone is happy, eventhough he/she is far away from them with someone else. Quite interesting, huh?

HAH! That's an interesting dream! Were you about to do a Harry Potter play? I'd like to be on a play again. I just lo~~~~~ve acting!

My dreams nowadays always have a taste of home... when I wake up I feel quite sad to be so far away from it... I don't feel depressed so often now. I have learned to change the focus of my feelings. You see, if I was to feel depressed, I'd also feel weak, sad, and I probably couldn't work properly; whereas, if I instead focus on feeling angry (not as in, full of rage, but just crossed about things) I'll have more energy, do everything better than if I was depressed, and of course, the anger goes away quicker than the depression cuz you don't sink in it.

Oh and what you said about the pool is not so bad! If I went to a pool party, I'd just go around people and chit-chat! Because I'm not the kinda guy to join the fools in their activities as well! But I can still have fun if I hang around, right?

So they become poetry in the end, eh... I have a friend who writes music... she lives in Finland. Sings REALLY cool! She's probably gonna become a pro if she puts her soul into it. I wish I was a singer as well. My voice, however, is rather... ok it's like listening to a donkey for three hours. Yea, not the kinda thing you'd love to hear at a concert. ^^;

I read about Benny and Joon, and it seems quite interesting! When I go back home, I'll see if I can find it seems really cool.

Anyway, YOU take care! I'm fine! xD good luck and read you soon! Bye!

Quote by TrigunPreacherGirlAwesome, and thank you so much for sharing such a neat color piece from Suki Dakara Suki! I think I prefer her hair brownish like this, rather than the manga covers... . Again, thank you!
Take care,

Yea, I think the lighter color suits her more... ~_^ Thanks for the comment and fav! =^_^=

Hi darling! How've you been? sorry bout not stopping by earlier, you just can't imagine work... Haha now it's so tiresome that after work I go to sleep! Unbelievable, i'm taking naps like... like someone who takes naps ^^; haha I also lack the ability to think of metaphors as well, aparently xD Oh I read that you're trying to introduce your teacher to Seatbelts, great idea! I think that the whole soundtrack of CowBe is worth hearing if you're into jazz, even if you don't like some other genres like heavy metal (LIVE in Baghdad) or Bossa Nova (Fantaisie Sign)... I love teh soundtrack. I also love Wolf's Rain Soundtrack (also composed by Yoko Kanno)! Have you ever seen that anime? It's, in my oppinion, a MUST anyway how have YOU been? Got over summer school now? Been drawing anything interesting lately? Hope 2 hear from u sooN!

Quote by TrigunPreacherGirl"D-darling"?! For a moment, I felt like I was 20-30 something, just coming home... Ah, well, I'm glad to hear that you're getting sleep; don't worry about metaphors except when they're needed for something really important (like essays and the like). Yes, I've seen "Wolf's Rain" (most of it, anyway), and I enjoyed the music (go Yoko Kanno!). "LIVE in Baghdad" sounds like it'd be interesting, and I think I've heard Fantasie Sign; I really like "No Reply", "Is it Real?", "Road to the West", "Space Lion", "Rain", and "Blue" *Stops blathering*. I've been fine, thanks for asking, and I just finished summer school. I've got a few drawings in the works (though I must get myself to a scanner!).
Hoping work is treating you well/take care,
~"TreaGirl".

Ara, ara... Sorry about that, I call all nice girls "darling". I just love to xD I know you're quite young tho, so I might call you hun xD or nee-chan. That's more like it xD

It seems you like most of CowBe sung tunes... Not that I don't mind them ("Blue" is freaking amazing, "Gotta Knock a Little Harder" is genius and "Adieu" is plain gorgeous) but I'm more on the instrumental side, my favs being the jazzy tunes like "Cosmos", "Goodnight Julia", "Odd Ones", "Piano Black", "Rush", etc... and I also have a special thing for "Waltz for Zizi", probably because of the Venecian aura it's got. Pretty huh? So you have seen Wolf's Rain! did you see the real ending? everyone said it was sad but i thought it was far more positive than I could've thought, actually... it's one great anime isnt it

Ah, and I hope you find a scanner! Haven't seen your artwork for ages!

Quote by TrigunPreacherGirl
Don't worry; I'm just not used to people using endearments with me (a teacher call me "Sweetie" once, and even though I know he wasn't meaning anything with it, it still surprized me very much, ha ha ). Thank you, though, for calling me nice *blushes*. Hmm, I've never heard "Cosmos" or "Odd Ones" (sounds like a theme for Ed); I understand about the instrumental songs: sometimes it's just nice to let the music go through one's mind, without any words to worry about. In regard to "Wolf's Rain", it's been so long since I've seen it that all I can do is say I think I've seen the proper ending (though I have also read about it). It ends a lot like "The Big O", doesn't it (in that it starts from the beginning)? Regardless, "Wolf's Rain" is indeed awesome, from its writing to its artwork (gorgeous!). Anyway, enough of my self-indulgent talking; how's England, and more specifically, your job, treating you? I'm hoping you're taking good care of yourself! I read on your comic site that you're planning on restarting "9th Card" (did I get the title right?!). I wish you the utmost luck and success with it! Oh, and loved the humor strips you put there; very hilarious! I hope you've been able to keep in contact with your female friend . I have an idea as to where to obtain usage of a scanner; my next work is acctually going to have a background, and more than just one or two characters!
Take care,
~"TreaGirl".

Hahahaha you were surprised because they called you sweetie? You would find it hard to work here then... the chefs, for example, call me anything ranging from "sweetheart" to "b*tch", which is quite fun xD Oh you are nice

Cosmos is quite a sad one; Odd Ones is, in fact, somewhat of a theme for Spike and someone getting into action (mostly Spike and Faye). Very nice tune Yea, that's why I prefer instrumental. My brain can drift without worrying about remembering lyrics (I'm very serious about songs' lyrics and can't stand hearing a song without knowing the lyrics)...

Hmm, yea, Wolf's Rain could start by the end... but it could also be more like a spiral, you see... going in circles over and over again. That's what I loved about it. You are left with the idea that everything ended and began at the same time, which is a rather realistic version of life. And yes, the artwork is just glorious, it's so apocalyptic yet it's got so much work into it... Not the average Tokyo in ruins. I also loved that... I wonder if it's somewhat russian, mythology of it, you know... The whole "Book of the Moon" and stuff, it was so mystical

Unfortunately I don't know anything about "The Big O", I looked for it on the internet and it seemed kinda nice but I couldn't get to watch any of it. Oh well.

Hah, true, I am restarting it! I already did a colored page one, which you can see on http://haohmaru77.deviantart.com and I've also finished a colored page two, it seems that it's all going pretty smooth. Maybe... too smooth?! Oh noes! Something bad's gonna happen! Now seriously, yea, it's all going really neat with this remake. I've learned to draw so much better now... Yet I still have a long way to go. But that's what makes it fun, ne~?

Neat, artwork with background and many charas! Can't wait to see what you've been up to you rocks, totally keep answering (one of the things that motivate me)! Ok! Anyway, are you enjoyin your summer? Is the weather nice over there, wherever you are? Or is it rainy like here?

Hey there!
Thanks for the link; I love your page! So, your favorite movie is "Fight Club"? *Winces* I think I broke a rule... anyway, awesome that you're getting back into drawing! I'm looking forward to it! *Note to self: check out Haohmaru77's DA page asap!*

Mythology/religion is quite interesting, isn't it? I always found other lands' belief system more interesting than my own (probably because it's so completely different). *Meloncholic sigh; for what reason, I do not know* Life does spiral (out of control, into something new, or behaves like Icarus with wings-ouch! Yep, I'm cynical). And we're back to the Mythology thing! Talk about spirals, eh?

My summer is going well, despite the heat (we've only had one rainy day so far). I take it that England's getting quite a lot of rain?I hope your work's still treating you well... The closest we have to rain now would be the watering system. Oh, one question about music: have you ever heard of the song "Monochrome" by Yoko Kanno? I read about it on a webcomic, and was wondering about it.
Take care,
~"TreaGirl".

Yesh, it's one of my favorites (there's so many that I like, but I just decided to put that one), I also love "City of God", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Star Wars", "Indiana Jones" and lots of random movies I ended up seeing for no reason (like, tuned in Film Zone and saw whatever was airing at the moment). Do you have any favorite movies (leaving anime movies aside, of course)?

Haha glad you liked my deviantART page, I took good care of it when I was in Ecuador ^^ I love dA, I got so much more feedback than here in MT you see. It helped me improve a lot (I also made lots of online friends). And yea, I am uploading new drawings every so often (this means, one every two or three weeks xD) so yea, you might want to check it ^^

Yesh, religion and mythology, specially those distant from ours, are really interesting... It's like, well, I think that if you put them all together, combine them in some way, you get a very interesting view of the world... I'd like to draw a comic that would involve tons of mythologies at the same time... It would be a very neat universe wouldn't it!

What's that melancholic sigh for? Do you feel sad/in low spirits quite often? I, myself, when I think about my family, just feel like everything's going down... Like, when I don' think about them, I can handle myself together and think I'm strong and stuff, and then I remember them and I feel down and weak again ^^; but i can't forget them, eventhough they're all a million miles away... Oh well Life is partially a spiral, but I think we are the owners of our destiny... the fact that some things were meant to happen is there, but we can take control of most of our life with our choices... If not, it wouldn't be fun, it'd be just "let yourself be carried away"... Well at least that's how I see it ^^

Yea, England's so rainy~! Now it's sunny out there, but I'm so tired I'm probably not gonna go out... there's not much to do anyway. Sad thing is, when I want to go for tourism, it's always rainy So it's really hot over there? Wah... sounds like fun ^^ when it was sunny at home, we would get our water-hoses and water balloons and just get ourselves wet in the courtyard ^^ that's, my sisters and me. Was so much fun The watering system might work as well xD haha!

And regarding this song, well you can listen to it here, it's kinda nice

Anyway, best wishes, may the heat give in to some coolness (to a certain extent at least) good luck!

Quote: The manga idea about combining all religions sounds awesome (are you going to work in atheism somehow, too?); if you do draw it, I'd love to read it (along with your other comic, of course!). Hmm... my favorite non-anime movies...? I really liked "Benny and June" (for the *plotline*, not Johnny Depp . I also enjoyed "Something's Gotta Give", and "Lost in Translation", though L.i.T.'s end left me feelling a bit down. I'd love to see/participate in more plays, though *pushes couch on and off set*. What is it with me and all these romance-ish movies, anyway?!

Yesh! I'd like to work on all points of view towards religion, atheism included. See, I don't think God should be entrusted with our lives... They're ours to spend as we wish here, right? I still worship God and stuff, but my life... for now, it's "mine". A gift for "me" In that aspect, I feel closer to atheists... I'll tell you if I decide to go for the comic, however, Ninth Card's got all my attention now. so many things to be written about it!

I haven't heard of "Benny and Jude", but mom and sis saw "Something's gotta give"and said it was quite good; I wanted to see "Lost in Translation" when they aired it here on ITV4 but I missed it Romance is allright I prefer a deep, serious story that revolves around human emotions than some shallow story about a military guy with guns and big abs *coughRambocough* and also, those movies always leave you thinking and wondering about emotions which I don't like sometimes because it makes me feel kinda alone oh well ^^

Quote: I think the sigh was because I do occasionally feel down, but that's just me, being my stereotypical angsty self (TM)! I doubt I could survive, emotionally, if I were that far away from my family and people I've known for a while. I like your take on life's direction (sometimes, I feel as if I'm just floating in my life, observing everything as it comes to be or passes by... ooh, I sense a lyric to a song coming on! *goes to furiously scribble this down*). Thank you so much for finding the song for me (oddly enough, I'm familiar with that website . I hope you have the desired weather, as well!
~"TreaGirl".

Hmm, occasionally feel down and stuff, brings me a deja-vu. To be honest, I've had quite a rough time surviving here. Adapting myself. Opening my mind. Overcoming the massive waves of depression (well I haven't really overcome them, but still ^^;) it... it's not as hard as you think, though. You just get to a point where you say "either I let myself die on the inside, or just stay strong for some more weeks". And of course, you go for the second one... Altho staying strong's quite hard. In my dreams recently, I always cry. And when I wake up, I've got dry tears all over my face o_o yea, I'm a weirdo xD

Lyrics?! You write them? That's so cool~~~~~~~~~ neat! Do you sing them as well? It seems you're so into music! NEAT!

geeezzz thanks alt for your comment on my newest wallie xD
i really appreciated that <3
i have a lot of fun on your userpage <3
bye, take care

Quote by TrigunPreacherGirlHey, there, Haohmaru77,
Yes, it's the dreaded summer school-but no fear: the teacher's really cool (plays jazz/rock music, really listens, and really helps with any math questions; has a great sense of humor and laughs at my horrible puns). He is a great resource (talking about people as if they're objects... *head/desk*). I hope the hotel warms up to you. What's it like, there? In regard to the signature, I put that up when I was feeling rather unhappy, and I'm still searching for actual happiness (whatever it is, heh, heh ).
So, what's up, and how have you been (I hope your work leaves you less tired)?
Take care,
~"TreaGirl".

Hi there! Sorry about takin so long to answer, I just havent been feelin particularly well these days ^^; but here I am, answering now! Wow, your teacher plays Jazz? Freakin amazin, i love jazz! What kind does he play? Bebop? Two-tone? Three-tone? Smooth? He seems like a really neat person from what you describe... when I work as a teacher I hope I'll be neat too

Uhh, the hotel... Well it's not like, "the best hotel in the world", it's just three stars, but it's neat cuz it's a small town so you know everyone around (except the guests of course)... And the chefs cook for me whenever I'm hungry (such lovely guys!)... But I miss home, I must say. And I miss my best friend! She and I used to be so close all the time... I really miss her nowadays. Anyway, it's nice to hear from you! I hope you're not unhappy anymore, but to be honest happiness simply lies within... it's more of a matter of wether you want to see it or not (HAH! What a nice speech from the guy who's in low spirits all the time xD)... Anyway glad to know you're ok! Hope you answer soon!

Hi TreaGirl! Thanks for your comments and fav!

On Singing: Haha, thanks. I'm happy you like it so much, it was pretty random.
On Turtle City: Yeah, the background is a lot brighter. xD But the ties are supposed to be a railroad system. o.0 Hahaha lol. :| yeah, I'm too lazy to draw out details...
On Crouching Wolf: Play Zelda. Now. =] *best series ever made, according to me*
