While looking up Jesse McCartney on Wikipedia (I can't help that he's rather cute), I discovered that he had voiced Frank Hardy of the Hardy Boys in a PC mystery game two years ago. Being a fan of the Hardy Boys mysteries when I was young made me look up for the crack download, which I completed with the help of a walkthrough (too lazy to figure it out myself) in 2 days. Apparently it's based on a newer series which I'm not familiar with, but nonetheless, Jesse's voice was insanely cute in it---especially when Frank happened to be my favorite character too.
Thanks to that, I went ahead and looked up the Hardy Boys once more, realized that there had been many versions, and in the end, I still prefer the Casefiles. But I found the very first book in the earliest series anyway, and reading only the first chapter made me realize why I loved mystery stories so much. My childhood was madly filled with such books, I can't even remember how I fell out of them. I mean, I still love mystery stories, but I guess those aimed at adults just aren't my taste? I like simplicity in writing style. And well, this also reminds me of one of my oldest original series too, which I really love to start/continue of these days.
And as if that isn't enough, I have decided to put back up MULTIPLY again... Yeah, you can
click here to see it, but be forewarned that the gallery doesn't work yet. I spent hours last night and this morning fixing it, and now I want to redraw Project Creation already. I mean, I also did try sketching Wandering Fate, which I decided that I'll just make it a real quick sketchy series, and...man. I don't know if it's because I haven't been drawing for ages, or if I've just been drawing too much Reborn. I can barely remember how the characters looked like. And while working on the site, I took a while to remember some names too. It's insane. It's unforgivable to a creator such as myself.
So that's it. I am tired of drawing fanart, and I want to go back to the originals already. I don't know why I even went there. Doujin has been nothing but a headache and pressure to me. Though, yes, I think I have improved because of it, but still. I miss my originals. I have abandoned them for too long. Please wait for me, my dear characters. Just until the end of the year.
After all that, I don't want to do school work anymore. Sigh. At least it's a holiday this Friday, but I'm going shopping for clothes. Monash Ball is coming up mid-September, and I have nothing to wear. I never really liked dresses...
