Flashy lights.
Comic updated: p.25 up! Things are happening, yay! (BTW, those are ships, and a planet. Not seashells or pill bugs. *sigh*)

Now I’m going to go dancing. :] *shimmies*

Last night I performed a Viennese Waltz with my 380 Social Dance class at the Social Dance Lab. We weren’t solid enough on the choreography–we had really rushed learning it, and I have yet to figure out whether it was my partner and I that were off on that one part or the other half of the class–but I’ve never received so many complements from random people on my dancing before. Evidently it looked good. ^^ It was very nice to be singled out and receive complements. ^^

This evening I was a panelist on a fireside about being a sister missionary. We had eight returned sister missionaries, answering questions from an audience of interested young sisters. :) Went well, that’s good.

My friend Joel is directing a “Mask Club” performance of Miss Saigon for his Music Dance Theater graduating capstone directing experience thing. He’s asked me design the posters. I’ve had yet to see or listen to the music from Miss Saigon (I know, bad musical-theater-junky Becky), so he lent me the cd.

And of course now I’m crying. I HATE this type of story. Too real, too tragic, to depressing, to REAL. *cries*

“He’s here! Your father’s here!”
WaaaaH! ;_;

I think that’s everybody! :D I’ve had so many positive comments about the Webcomic panel, it makes me quite happy. ^^
It’s amazing it worked so well, since we had SO many people there. Very fun, though, I LOVE webcomics. :)

It was great to meet these fabulous people too, if some only briefly. And to those who already knew me: How come it seems half my rl friends are webcomic artists?? Sheesh!! XD

Special appologies to Amanda Wallace. I misspelled your name EVERYwhere!! Gomen, gomenasai!! It was my fault, I didn’t realize. -_-;

Edit: Camilla has put up some fabulously detailed notes of all the panels she went to at the Symposium. Coolness.

Final Day #3 of LTUE went well. I only had to cancel one panel because I could never get a hold of the guy. But more about LTUE later.

Because now, as it is February 20th, it is time for my annual, one-month-before-my-birthday, “What Should I Do With My Life?” ANGST.

LTUE Day #2 went well! :)

Most everything went really well, and the things that didn’t, I’ll chalk them up to learning experiences.

The webcomic panel went surprisingly really well. ^^ Yay! We ended up with, 13/14? webcomic artists there. :D Crazy fun, I’ll post the list later.

Howard Tayler and Jeanette Atwood are fantastic guests. :)

I came home and finished up a waiting comic page (I was motivated), which is up now. #25, yo.

LTUE!!!!!
My brain is totally fried, and I was only on/moderating one panel today. oy.
Tomorrow all the funnest panels are happening. Mwah. So fun.

The official site hasn’t been updated ’cause our web guy’s computer crashed, and he’s the only one with access (we want to fix that, desperately). Anyways, the actually updating mirror site is here:

7pm–Webcomic panel– Eleven (11) webcomic artists. In one room. It’s going to be a madhouse. But SO FUNNNNN.
I’ve invited every local webcomic artist I know/have been told about. :D
(It’s amazing how many I know…)
