Online Comics Day

Happy Cinco de Mayo- and 05/05/05 is pretty cool.

Now we have to watch out for 06/06/06 next year. In the movie "Omen," the son of the devil was born on 06/06/66.

Not that I really believe in that, but it's an ominous date indeed.

EDIT: On 07/07/07 I should totally go to vegas!

Hey, I passed that exam last fall! It's funny how so many things seem interesting once you don't have to know them for exam.

Hooray for holidays that don't mean much. Personally I'll be celebrating later today because I'll be done with courses for the semester.

They still have senior skip day? We were threatened with not being able to attend the prom if we skipped.

I should have. Could have saved myself over $100.

I'm sure the better part of Mexico would take issue with that statement...

Oops, I forgot about it.
Well, Happy Comic Thing Day, I guess.

I was not aware of this online comics day thingie. Perhaps I'll make a belated sketch of happy things on my next update.

Also, today is Children's Day in Japan and South Korea.

Yup. Bloody Liberation Day, making me forget about Online Comics... I actually DID want to do something for today, but for some reason I had this strange idea that Online Comics Day was in August. Damn, there goes free publicity.

I remembered!

Granted, I only remembered a couple days ago... >_<
Well, I set it up in case they get the 2005 website going.

I forgot. But then I put up a very quick make-up comic extra.

We did that at my school too. Unfortunately I'm a junior and I have scruples (damn my conscience!) so I didn't get to sleep in. Fortunately for seniors, prom happened last weekend. You can't bar someone from going to prom just because you think they MIGHT not come to school, hehe.

It's my dad's birthday today. And I spent the Cinco de Mayo party in spanish class drawing comics, so that kinda counts, eh?

We totally forgot about webcomics awareness day untill very last minute when someone mentioned it the night before. Toatally cheaped out this year, but at least we got something up in time even though we had practically no time. Too bad the event basically got cancelled because of lack of interest and technical difficulties...

Yay for cheap fluff!

A bit late, but:

I marched 27.5 kilometers, with a 12 kg backpack, in the sunny, cloudless and hot weather.
And I enjoyed myself.
And I remembered that it was online comics day.

Although, since I neither have a webcomic, nor had access to a computer the whole day...

Odd1 · Post by **Odd1** » Sun May 08, 2005 12:06 pm

Wait, we were supposed to UPDATE and extra time just because it was Online Comics Day?

Christ, I didn't even remember to prepare anything nice for my mom today. It seems I'm not so brilliant at these semi-special occassions.
