2 Things Certain in this Post: Death &Features

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 14, 2009, 9:34 PM
Death

Well, alas.......all fun things must come to an end, I guess. =P My precious namesake storm.....my symbolic wrath......has now passed away. :dead:

R.I.P. Hurricane Ida
(11/04/09--11/13/09) :tombstone:

LOL...it was fun while it lasted. During its 10-day lifespan, its ranking went up and down several times between tropical depression/storm and hurricane. The highest ranking it reached was Category 2...so that's quite interesting. And at least it got to travel a bit, too...up through the Central American/Caribbean waters, hitting a few U.S. Southern states, and then being cast off and broken up in the Atlantic Ocean.

You can remember all about Hurricane Ida in Wikipedia: [link]) .

HURRICANE IDA!!

Thu Nov 5, 2009, 11:12 PM
  • Mood: Wow!
  • Listening to: Tropical Storm Ida winds, house music, smooth jazz
  • Reading: Tropical Storm Ida news, Yotsuba&!
  • Watching: Tropical Storm Ida, Monk, Numb3rs
  • Playing: With power--hurricane power! (SNES parody ^^ )
  • Eating: Soggy food from Tropical Storm Ida
  • Drinking: Tropical Storm Ida water
Oh my freakin' goodness gracious....how *AAAAAWESOME* is this??!! :XD: BWAHAHAHAHA!! :evillaugh:

Never did I ever expect that a storm would ever be named after.....lil' ol' me??!! :excited: LOL! I've never heard of anything like this before! This is really the coolest thing ever, heh-heh! :w00t:

Apparently, it started out as Tropical Storm Ida in the afternoon of Wed, Nov. 4th, in the Central America region, hitting Nicaragua first. It upgraded to Category 1 Hurricane Ida in the morning of Thurs. Nov. 5th, and lasted for a few hours like that. But then it went back down to a tropical storm, and (as I write this), I think it's down at tropical depression level currently.

But this storm is not over yet (I freakin' hope not, anyway! :XD: )! Here is the projected path of Tropical Storm Ida over the next few days (scroll down a bit to see the tracking map): [link] .

So BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :evillaugh: Idas of the world, unite! Let us embrace this tropical storm/hurricane as a symbolic event of us smashing down everything and everyone in our lives who ever harmed, hurt, or hindered us in any way!! Our sweet, sweet revenge and wrath has finally come, with the aid of the all-powerful Mother Nature!! GIIIRRRRL POWER!! :evillaugh: :evillaugh: (I don't know how many more evillaugh smilies I can use!)

Don't worry, this is all just symbolic fun. =P For any of you guys who actually live in Nicaragua or anywhere else in Central America or the Caribbean, and are in the tropical storm's path, I hope you guys are/will be okay. ^^; :aww:

...not very much to talk about these days. :yawn: :bored: I hate that I'm so busy that I don't have time to do any of my projects. :depressed: But anyways, I decided to give at least a minor update to my journal, so...

There's always new, smashing cool and awesome Baker/Bini giftart being made by awesome artists and being collected in my ever-growing OC Giftart folder...check'em out, maybe you'll like'em, too! [link] I think the first two or three pages are the newest stuff to date. And of course, you guys are always free to draw my characters, too, if you want! (Bakermonium [link] , Bini Mysteries [link] )

Also, Happy Halloween to those of you who celebrate it! :pumpkin: My brother and I will be taking our little sister around the neighborhood houses for trick-or-treating. She says she wants to be a skeleton this year. :giggle: [link]

Hey-ho, folks! :aww:

First, got three new features for ya:

1) :iconatomicspacemonkey: made such adorably-cute, super-awesome Bakermonium chibi drawings here! [link] [link] [link] She even compiled all of them up into one large, awesome wallpaper! [link] You have to download it to get the full-size (1680 x 1050).

2) I got a commission done by the ever-wonderful :iconbleedman: of the ever-gorgeous detective Bijou! Check her out here! [link] :dance: I really, REALLY hope to get Nico done in the future, too....if I'm able to save up enough money.

3) I promised :iconroad-safety: to feature his cool depiction of Nico and Bijou as grown-ups, as a means of "payment." Check it out here, it's interesting! [link]

Next, I wanted to talk to you guys about a very cool and fun idea I thought up yesterday. I've seen many icon families throughout DA over the years....and so I was thinking how ultra-cool it would be to create a Bakermonium icon family! :D I would take the nine little Bakermonium character icons from the top of this journal here [link] , and turn them into 50x50 DA icons. Then, along with myself (as the LaToya icon, because she's the leader of the gang), I would find eight other people here in DA to be the icons of the other eight kids. In all of our journals, we would post the icons of our Bakermonium family. And in our signatures, we would add in this sentence and link: "My icon is (character's name) from Bakermonium! [link] " This would be a very fun way to not only promote my Bakermonium series, but also for us to advertise our DA pages in each other's journals, too!

So would any of you guys be interested in participating in this project?? Let me know what character you'd want to be (Lakeisha, Khadijah, Miko, Benny, Johann, Chad, Pedro, or Marianne) just in case this project ends up happening. The only way this project can happen is if I have EIGHT other people join me! So come on guys--join me and let's be a Bakermonium family! :dance: [link]

Well, today (July 8th, 2009) is the day...my SIXTH anniversary of having a DA account! :omfg: :dance: :party: Yep...six years old. Not many have achieved this feat of staying on one DA account for so long...especially staying active on the account for the entire length of those six years. So...I think it’s quite cool. Or is it? Well, I dunno. :shrug: =P

Anyways, I just want to give warm, tremendous thanks to everyone who has visited this quiet, dinky little corner of the gi-normous DA world over the past six years. Thanks very much for all your feedback, favs, watches, and general support. :aww: :hug: And of course, I want to give special thanks to all the folks who have drawn my Bakermonium and/or Bini characters over these six years...you are all such fantastic artists, really, and I just love your wonderful pictures of my characters! My ever-growing OC Giftart folder is here, in my Favorites section: [link] . There are a few recent pics in particular that I really want to give extra special highlights to, because they are just so mind-blowingly awesome and amazing! :faint:

And whenever you guys are bored, you are all free to draw my characters, too, if you wanna! :dance: Just let me know if you do. Some sixth anniversary pics would be really awesome...but LOL, you don’t have to, of course. =P

Well, take care, everyone! Enjoy the rest of your summer, and thank you all again for visiting here every now and then! :w00t: :sun:
