Happy Birthday Sarven!!!
Time for another NUFS Birthday shout out! Today is Mr. Sarven McLinton’s 23rd birthday!!! Sarv is possibly (nay, probably) one of the coolest people ever and someone I consider, along with Matt and several others, a trans-global brother! Sarv is 5’6″ of fiercely disciplined karate killer and a toilet humour master! Don’t cross him or he’ll kick your ass then call you a poo-poo head! Since at the time of writing this entry, it is likely around 8 pm in Adelaide, so it may be tomorrow by the time he reads it but “Tanjoubi Omedetou Gozaimasu Saruben! (Monkey Poop!)” Go wish him Happies on his Xanga, why don’tcha!? And yes! Here’s some more photos! And yet more excellent memories!
As for me, still no work! But I have been drawing my ass off! I think I’m developing callouses where the pencil rests on my fingers! Its all good, though. I haven’t drawn this much since I quit Art School, and I’ve never been this consistent! I’m on fire, its awesome! Maybe I’ve finally found the confidence in my abilities to stop dismissing everything I do as crap and ditching it after one slightly askew line, maybe I’m just inspired by this past year of friendship and adventure, maybe its both those things and more! At present I’m doing character designs for the Star Wars RPG I played with Sarven, CAlex and Holly, though I’m under orders for yet more chibi-pics and notions of the I-House X-Men and Were-forms are flying around (mostly from Mario!) Not that I mind. I’m glad I’ve got so much conceptual material to work with. I’ll eventually post them on my “ill made knight” Xanga, but I can e-mail people stuff if they want copies (or they can copy and paste! Its served me well!)
There’s no Matt and Dani update, cos its not necessary! The albeit sporadic WiFi connection in their apartment has been providing them with enough connection time to make an update in person! Matt’s gonna update real soon, I’m told. And its looooooooooong! And it should be! Hmmm… maybe I just ruined a surprise….? I guess I could delete that last bit……but, Naaaaaaahh!! Ho! In other news, Kate has a Xanga! Say “Hi!” Shoot the breeze, chew the fat, and so forth!
Sarv, once again, “Happy Birthday!” Glad you enjoyed the Vader card (its Darth Vader! What’s cooler than Darth Vader!?) and that thing you pulled on your bro was cool! From the Simple Plan CD (ahhh.. guilty pleasures!) I suggest we learn “Shut Up” off by heart so we can tear up our next karaoke together with the sheer might of our obnoxious, whiny pop-punk stylings! And you know Matt is gonna LOVE it!!! Climb Mount Fuji, a week or so of Star Wars with obligatory karaoke! I can’t frickin’ wait!!! I miss everyone, but I want to miss people so I don’t mind! My bro and I are watchin’ all the Star Wars in chronological order… like you said about watching “A Lost Hope” with your bro, its just not the same without all our in-jokes and references. But everytime I watch Star Wars now, you’re all right there next to me!
Well peeps, til next time…! Peace, Love, “They’re in the ventilation shaft!!!”

Kate took her sweet time getting on here… you don’t happen to have Sarv’s number, do you? ’tis only 1c/min between capital cities, an’ all…
XD oh, and.
I never realized there pain till it was almost the end.
lmao you always seem to have that effect on me: p I love the pics*rolls eyes*
your chibi people are so cute! how can you say bad things about your art!? i’m the same way tho so it may just be something artists do. i use an eraser more than my pencil. ah well….
Aw, Dave is the number one birthday greeter!
Keep drawing, Dave, you do great work, and we’re always excited to see it. You have major skills! I will shut my eyes so you don’t see the green glow of envy.
very glad to hear about the drawing. keep up the furious work, my friend! i wish i had your skillz (>_<)
wanna see artwork! post it! please… *.*
Thanks! First thanks to dave for dedicating me a b’day post! Ah, the memories!
Next, keep those drawings coming! I reckon they’ll be the coolest pics to come yet, and can’t wait to see them! As for the SW info, i was gonna write it up now, but am just off to karate (who would have guessed?), so maybe later tonite…
Finally, thanks again for the present and card, can’t express how much it meant to me, and how much i laughed too!! Even though I know no-one outside out group will truly get all those in-jokes, it still makes me Laugh Out Loud (did i get that right? >_<) as i recall those awesome times!!
Cheers!
lightsabers…soooo….cool
Happy Birthday to Sarven!!! And now I get to leave myself e-props! Ha! Beat the system!

Hmmm, the Art is strong with this one…
Heres the extent of my skills:

The Art isnt strong with me.
But you should wield your newfound powers for the good of humanity!
Namely NUFS people.
Urgh!
Xanga cuts off spaces at the begining of the lines.
Curses!
Foiled again!
it probably cutt off the spaces because “calex’s art is dangerous, xanga sensed it, why can’t you?!”
ok i guess thats really reaching with the quotes…
agreed – lightsabers are very cool!
hee! ascii art!
okay, cass. what is ascii art? i could look it up…but it is more fun when you tell me. i love vocab lessons!
i saw the drawings on ill_made_knight !
!NEATO!
…cool katze!…
Ascii is the art of making pictures out of keyboard symbols.
to cass: i kinda figured it…but i just wanted to make you explain it!
and why? BECAUSE you are such fun
O/ <—— ascii art! (meaning “woo-hoo”)
that’s why! *.* <——— and more ascii art!
