TEXAS HILLBILLIES (to the tune of "Beverly Hillbillies")
Come and listen to my story 'bout a boy name Bush.
His IQ was zero and his head was up his tush.
He drank like a fish while he drove all about.
But it didn't really matter 'cuz his daddy bailed him out.
DUI, that is. Criminal record. Cover-up.
Well, the first thing you know little Georgie goes to Yale.
He can't spell his name but they never let him fail.
He spends all his time hangin' out with student folk.
And that's when he learns how to snort a line of coke.
Blow, that is. White gold. Nose candy.
The next thing you know there's a war in Vietnam.
Kin folks say, "George, stay at home with Mom."
Let the common people go to get maimed and scarred.
We'll buy you a spot in the Texas Air Guard.
Cushy, that is. Country clubs. Nose candy.
Twenty years later George gets a little bored.
He trades in the booze, says that Jesus is his Lord.
He says, "Now the White House is where I oughta be."
So he calls his daddy's friends and they call the GOP.
Gun owners, that is. Falwell, Jesse Helms.
Come November 7, the elections runnin' late.
Kin folks say, "Jeb, give the boy your state!"
"Don't let those colored folks get into the polls."
So they put up barricades so they couldn't punch their holes.
Chads, that is. Duval County. Miami-Dade.
Before the votes are counted five Supremes step on in.
They tell all the voters "Hey, we want George to win."
"Stop counting votes!" is their solemn invocation.
And that's how George finally goes and gets his coronation.
Rigged, that is. Illegitimate. No moral authority.
Y'all come back to vote now. Ya hear!
And now the dickhead is trying to create a fucking amendment that states that marriage has to be between a man and a woman.
Fuck that shit. Support gay marriage!!!

Well, we all knew it'd happen one day:
I've officially lost my mind.
I think it's due to a combination of being trapped in the house all day with my on neurotic thoughts and the upage of my nerve medication (It messes with my nervous system. Like, I'll be in the middle of a sentence and forget the word I was about to say) and the addition of Demerol to my pain med regiment.
My brian is totally incoherent, when I talk I sound totally nuts (think raving schizo lunatic) and I've become just plain neurotic. (Picking at my skin, weighing myself 10 times a day, hearing things...)
And on top of this, my parents keep hounding me about my school work.

New look for the journal. I based the colors off of the Coheed and Cambria CD (Second Stage Turbine Blade). It's very...green. Dunno how long this will last before I revert back to something that's black/white/red/pink/purple/blue/grey. I think this may be the first time that I have a layout that's not mostly some shade of black, grey or white...
Now I need to make some new user icons.
Can anybody tell me were to find a tutorial saying how to make those static-y looking animated images? I think I need me one of them.

Recently, for no apparent reason, I've been compiling a list of all of my phobias. (Well, there is a reason, but it's complicated and involves studies about mental conditioning and irrational fears vs. inherited thought patterns...but whatever.)
Originally, I assumed that I didn't have any. But you know what they say about assuming...
So far I have:
1. Fear of committment (Serious, MAJOR fear. Discovered last May.)
2. Fear of singing/dancing in public (Odd, since I will read/act onstage and not be shy...)
3. Fear of public nudity (I get self concious in a bathing suit...)
4. Fear of being overweight (This might have something to do with number 3...)
However, I'm damn proud to say that I don't have a fear of being alone like 99.9% of other single females.

If any of you keep a list of "things Alessa shouldn't do", add "use a Wacom Tablet and Painter 5".
( This is why... )
I suck.
But yes. These are two characters from Grayling which I have been pimping for months now. Go me. I can never resist gods who snog.
I used the tablet to save my arm so that I might be able to do something Dull Glitter-related for "The Worst Holiday Ever Like Woah to the Max"(tm). Cause I wanted to use whatever (probably bitter) image I created to make propaganda shizzle (user pics and avatar images). And for that you need a higher quality image (which I need to do by hand).
But whatever, I still suck.
EDIT: To make Marissa shaddup, here's something that I drew that I DO like. (2H pencil, brushpens and markers.)
( No, I will NOT admit how much I spent on the damn markers )

George W Bush Resume
George W. Bush The White House, USA
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
LAW ENFORCEMENT: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.
MILITARY: I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.
COLLEGE: I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.
PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS: I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money. I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history. With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: I am the first President in US. history to enter office with a criminal record. I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week. I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury. I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history. I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period. I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market. In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month. I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her. I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations. My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron. My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history. I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts. I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history. I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government. I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history. I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the U.S from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S."prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention. I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).
I set the record for fewest number of press conferences of any President since the advent of television. I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history. I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history. I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind. I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community. I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in war time. In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends. I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security. I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD. I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein to justice.
RECORDS AND REFERENCES: All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view. All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President,attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.
PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004.

Tom called me on the phone today (which he does about every week or so for no obvious reason...)
Some notable things:
Tom: "And there was a rumble lo in the depths of HELL! Ohh, corn muffins!"
(Also) Tom: "I have a cat named Pepper! P-e-e-p-e-r...wait...no..."
Me: (While listening to Tom read some kind of course guide pamphlet) "You NEED to take belly dancing lessons!"
We have such issues. But we put the "fun" back into dysfunctional. (And if the word was spelled differently, we'd put the "dis" back in also. Oh the insults that fly...)

Warning - if you do not like video games, especially Final Fantasy Video Games, DO NOT READ THIS!! You have been warned.
So. I found out today that Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy XII sometime this summer. Hopefully.
This Final Fantasy is going to kick so much ass for one reason: new species.
Unlike all of the other FF titles, the characters won't all be human. And the landscape won't be the typical FF look that we've all come to know. Rather, this is basically taking GBA's FFTA and fleshing it out into a true RPG.
Meaning that your party will be much larger than normal, and will contain at least one non-human character (the promos show a viera (a rabbit-humanoid thingy)).
Also, the land will be the desert landscape of Ivalice (or something like it).
From what I can tell, there will also be airship battles and stuff, but that desn't really matter. (To me.)
I just want the ability to have a kick ass Viera archer, an earth blastin' Nu Mou black mage, and a head-slicin' Bangaa warrior on my side. Cause let's face it...humans are puny.
Now...I just need to get a PS2...damn.

From xgirlscoutriotx:
1. What's in store for your comic?
Pffft. Like I'm going to blurt out all of my secrets...Lemme just say this: after we're done with the current scene, three new characters are introduced and the words "fag-hag and gaydar" are both used. Other than that, you'll have to wait.
2. Would you go on a space voyage to Uranus just so you could make jokes about it?
Hell yes. Although it'd suck to live just about my entire life on the spaceship since it takes decades to get there. But I think that "I'm going to Uranus...Uranus is HUGE!...Uranus is made of gas...Uranus has rings around it...etc." would compensate.
3. How would you torture Chloe if there were no repercussions? Would you do it, even?
I'd lock the little hairball in a room with my dog for a day. Hehe. That's like, two birds with one stone. Or I'd put her on one side of an electric fence and Michelle on the other an make Michelle keep calling her and holding out treats.
4. Would you wear a shirt that says, "I FUCKED GEORGE W. BUSH" for $10? Why or why not?
Oh HELLS NO. I mean...ten bucks ain't THAT much, especially to have people thinking that you let his...ewww. Dropping that thought. Besides, then I'd be associated with that fat cow Monica Lewinsky. Especially if it was a BLUE GAP shirt.
5. Describe the perfect roadtrip: who, where, when, and any adventures that would happen along the way.
The n'eastie girls plus Tom during our last summer before going off to college. We're driving along on a random roadtrip to see hick-town oddities when suddenly Michelle discovers that Chuck shoved some of Chole's hair into her laptop. As per the rules of these instances, a portal-y thingy opens and we're sucked into a LotR/fantasy video game-esque world (complete with hot elves) where we all have magical powers and sharp pointy objects.
We're given the daunting task of saving the world despite our obvious lack of any skill whatsoever. However, through a series of one misguided adventure after another, we finally complete our quest and get returned to the real world with a week to spare, which we use to get totally stoned/drunk and parrrtay!
Now, y'all KNOW you want me to ask YOU questions!

Explanation, from clare_dragonfly's journal:
THE RULES
1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation.
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.
All the cool kids are hopping on the bandwagon, so come on and join along!
1. What's with the holes in the dude's face?
See, he was a religious freak who told me that snakes represent the devil and should all be burned, homosexuals are sinners and should all be burned, and McDonald's food is made with real...food. So I just HAD to stab him in the face. With a spork. A school-district issued spork.
2. What color is your hair today?
Amazingly enough, dark brown. But the very tips are kinda orange-y blondish. As are some of the pieces around my face. I want to add blue next time.
3. If there was one thing you could do that would affect every human being in the world except yourself, what would it be?
Neuter/spay them. I tell you, the future of our species lies in producing babies from cloned and spliced DNA grown in test tubes!!! It's the only way!
4. Have you ever had fondue? If so, did you like it?
As we all know, I can't have chocolate or cheese, so no. For me, fondue would be spearing bread on a long fork and dipping it into a pot of boiling water.
5. Are you more like a fish or a salamander, and why?
Are we talking real salamanders or mythological? Ehh...either way I'm like a shark. (Which is a fish. A really pointy fish.) Sharks are very misunderstood creatures. They're actually very shy and curious. Most shark "attacks" are actually just sharks "tasting" people to figure out what the hell they are (sharks feel with their mouths and a serious of nerves sround their lips...)
So, in short, like the pointy fishies know as sharks, I tend to be misunderstood at times. So I'm a fish. Glub Glub.

[27 Jan 2004|07:41am] |
So. Yeah. I have a new email address. It's mainly just for the comic, but if for some reason it doesn't work, you can use it for personal stuff...
dullglitter@comic.com
I wasn't going to make a comic-only email, but then hotmail screwed me over.
See, recently hotmail has increased their spam filters. Which is good. But to do so, they blocked about 65,000 email addresses along a certain line of code. One of them being deviantart.
That's bad.
I'm not sure which of the other services that I use are in this line of code (lycos for random image hosting, livejournal, proboards, KEENSPACE...) but some might be and I can't take a chance of not being able to contact them for help.
So yeah. Believemylie@hotmail.com is still totally functional for personal things (or so I should HOPE) so don't be afraid to use it. But if I don't get your email...you'll know why.
P.S. Keenspace is down at the moment. And I think I have a fever. My luck just keeps getting better...
