Part 2!
Aight, I got stuff to say!~
I'll start with this Sunday. I Skyped with Broranges for an hour or two. He wanted to Skype so that he could tell me about an idea he had for a manga series. It would be very tiring to write the entire plot to you, so I'll just say that it was something kinda in-between Sword Art Online and Psyren. It could be really cool, but I don't know if it would be original enough to sell.
He also gave me the username and password for his family's Hulu account, because there is a lot of anime on the site, but we don't have Hulu. I protested that I didn't want to use it, but he insisted. I gave in, and went on yesterday to see what there is.
Oh my gosh! SO MUCH ANIME! The list just went on and on! I never got to the end! Mainly because I settled on watching Pandora Hearts, since I've heard about it and was interested. It's cool, but I'm just so confused at the same time. I hope they make more sense of it over time...
Also, I tried copying one of my favorite drawings of Ed in the manga. It's a little off (like, he's supposed to be looking up more than directly forward), but in general, it's a good copy. The bottom left of the pic was covered by a speech bubble, so I guessed. *sweat drop* The shoulder should probably be wider, but oh well.
Sorry about the shadow at the bottom; it's pretty hard to take pictures with my phone without the shadow without ruining the quality of the picture itself.
I also wanted to draw my outfit from the day before, since I just felt so awesome. It somehow kept going more and more diagonal as I was drawing it...
My orange Kool-Aid shirt. *nod* ...It looks better in person.
My hair is bumped up like that because I put it in pigtails. Just to mix it up, I put them directly behind my ears instead of below them, and my hair suddenly looked even bigger! I just left two short pieces of hair in front of my ears, as shown. Also, later in the day, a little piece of hair near the part stuck out a lot, and I suddenly looked like I had some kind of anime hair! More reason to commemorate the outfit.
Yesterday, I played an instrument with someone else for the first time! My dad!
My dad can play lots of different instruments (at least a dozen or two), but his favorite is bass. As you should already know, I play drums. When I was about 5 minutes into my drums practice yesterday, my dad opened the door and walked in with his bass, and said that he wanted to try to play together.
Once he got his bass hooked up to an amp, we tried to play some Green Day songs together. (He did really well, considering a lot of those songs he had not attempted before.) After that, he told me to do simple beats as he played the bass for an iconic song, and we both sang. It was so fun!
I personally do not remember hearing my dad perform, although he was part of bands when I was really little. He tends to play while watching TV, but without the amp, so I didn't know how it would sound like with an amp. (I know what bass sounds, like, duh! I just had never heard my dad play electric bass). It was really cool to finally hear him doing what he does best. And he is quite good at what he does best.
I still was a big worrywart (ew, gross) while playing, because the only part I focused on before in Green Day songs was the drums, so I didn't really know what bass sounded like. And, as mentioned before, I have never played with someone else for anything. I messed up a few times because of my nervousness, but he kept saying that I was doing just fine.
Now I want to get even better at drums and know more songs (and know better what the other instruments in the songs are doing) so that jam session can go smoother and we will be awesomer together!
