My friend Ryan Wells made this EPIC image based on my 22 Practical Uses for My Scarf video!  GAH! I love it so much!!

So, you may recall my lil review that I wrote for Count Ryan Estrada! Guess what! He emailed me today that, for doing so, I won some STUFF! Some Ryan-made, premium grade STUFF!

I CANNOT WAIT!
 
so excited i never win anything! :D

p.s. sayunclecomics added me as friend today, as well. today is Make Asia Feel Special Day!

Let me begin by saying that I totally wrote the title as "ryan esTARDa" at first. Okay. So this is a review of this here comic http://www.zudacomics.com/node/1206 that was done a while back by one Ryan Estrada. I first found Mr. Estrada via the famous John Campbell of Pictures for Sad Children dot com. At the time, Mister Campbell was living with Sir Estrada in Mexico makin' comics and also comickin'.  Basically, if you follow Lord Estrada, you will be astounded at how many Miss Adventures one person can encounter. One cool dude.

So as for this particular piece, I feel it is definitely one of his most memorable. Monsieur Estrada has a distinguishable style, and here you can see a wonderful subject as Werewolfism squeezed into the mold of a woman meeting her future fiancee's family.  Funny AND controversial! Have these two ever met? Okay, yes, but the mother in this comic is stinkin' hilarious. the end.

 Oh yeah, I made this thing a few weeks ago that I guess you could call a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbgumdS44j0 Feel free to check out the rest of my "videos". (There is really only one worth watching, but which one is it???)

I made a box.  Of DREAMS! My favorite part is posted below. Click the link to see the rest!

So, this journal is kindof mostly for comics now because it is faster for me to update via twitter! So look me up there, dasiavou, as per usual, if you are DYING to know what I am up to!

My mom and sisters and I ran into Coach, a.k.a. Craig T. Nelson at Macaroni Grill.  My mom got him to sign a kid's menu and we gave it to my dad as a present.

 I guess I better update or somethin'. Whatever. Since I never say anything about me, you know? Anyway, I'm watching Starman right now. Aaaand I went back to school. Stastics are hard and make me think everything is stupid. Drawing is dumb cuz I'm not learning anything except what materials to buy, an dI'm so obviously going to get and A+ in that class cuz I show up every day and do my homework kinda.  "Advanced Acting" has thus far in 8 weeks covered what we learned in about 2 or 3 days in Drama 2 in high school.  Web Design...Probably gonna fail cuz Adobe Design Premium is a mean, hard to install piece of expensive software. Can't wait to use it though.  Aerobic Fitness. I feel like I should be losing weight but IT IS THE OPPOSITE. This is crap!  I just got back from a party. I go to parties knowing I will leave exhausted.  I like people, but I always need People Recovery Time.  I was born to be a hermit.  Being fake Social Asia is so tiring.  Good thing I'm an actress sort of I guess.  Oh and GUESS WHAT!  A friend of mine bought me a flickrPro account!  Now I can just upload and upload!! :D

So, comics update.  I will be posting more of my hourlies (like a day a month at this rate, sheesh) if I can find them.  Also, I've been actually working in my sketchbook, which I had for some reason fallen out of the habit of, so I'll probably be posting some o' that and some projects I've been doing.  Uh, lessee....um, that's it I think.  Oh, I keep breaking out into hives or whatever so randomly.  I seem to be unhealthy and without medical insurance.  I also have wisdom teeth that are not making me wise and thus must go and also I need glasses that aren't broken that i don't need to balance on my broken nose and o yes i need to get that broken nose fixed.

LIFE IS HAPPY

~i'm glad you're here...you seem very wise
~you should be a film actress
~you are my best friend

Well, back when I barely knew what email was, I was having dinner with my family and my dad was talking about a friend of mine named Haven and how her email address was missbhaven.  I thought that was so funny and wanted to come up with something clever for my name, Asia.  So my dad thought of "asiavou".  It was like two years or more before I actually made an email address, and I forgot about this.  So I went with "artsyasia".  Humble, no?  My dad reminded me of asiavou, and I was like "Oh NO!" So I changed it.  I think the first place I used "dasiavou" was on Neopets.  You can still find my account on there, if you want.  I was pretty dedicated for a while.


EDIT:  So I went and signed in to my Neopets account for the first time in I can't even remember, and ! It says I have been a member for 6 1/2 YEARS!  WHAT! I remember so clearly being proud of reaching the one year mark!!

O and also i am in the library and there was this woman singing this haunting song in some eastern european language, but then I heard her speaking and she has no accent at all. She was just picking up books 'n singing! Anyway, I love people-watching.  And also guess what I am going to do! I am going to finally post some of my hourlies! Hooray! No one cares anymore!

( More tester hourlies under the cut )


They get better I PROMISE kinda.  In other news, I read John Campbell's hourlies so much that he gave me a cold aCHOO!

Ok I came to this postin' page to post my hourly testers which i SCANNED and SAVED but for SOME reasong my comPUTER disaGREES! So they are not HERE! the END

We are having some "TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES"!! So, while I am making the hourlies right NOW, they will not be going up until NEXT week, so just pretend the stuff I do THIS week is the stuff I do NEXT week, K? K.

I turn 20 tomorrow.  My reaction?  :'-0  I don't know what I will do without a "teen" at the end of my age. 

How old are you, Asia?
I am 20 years old, ma'am.
My, but you have accomplished so little! tsk tsk...
I truly am ashamed, ma'am

I can't help it. At age 5 I vowed to never stop watching cartoons for boring old news, and gosh darn it, I can't let my little self down!!

In other news, I think I will try a week of hourly comics, starting monday.  They are supposed to be only a day behind when I actually do them and be posted once an hour, but as I have 1) dial-up internet, 2) a sketchy scanner situation, and 3) no website/no idea how to automate the postings, I will be posting them all at the same time and maybe they will be late. But I'm gonna try anyway.  For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, this means that I will make a little comic every hour of my life that I am awake about something that happened during that hour.  This promises to be boring and depressing for any possible readers, but say law vee.

TWENTY?!?!?! It keeps hitting me! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i just bought a pair of planet earth snowpants for two dang fifty. cents!
