New bookcase and French Rev art!

[tsuru_san]

As far as Mondays go, today wasn't so bad. *smiles* Anyways, when my dad gets home, I'm hoping to work on my new bookcase some more. It's about two feet wide and at least seven feet tall, and I can hardly wait to start putting books in it! *swoon* I spent most of the weekend on it, and so far it's been sanded and stained, and now just needs a couple coats of varnish.

In other news, Taylor had the most brilliant idea. You may remember she's the "vive le roi" Royalist-y friend who also shares my French 3 class. Anyways today during a meeting of the school's literary magazine staff she suggested that for Halloween this year she and I should dress up as a French Rev aristocrat and revolutionary respectively. This will probably happen, and boy, would it be fun as hell! XD Not many people would know who we were, but who cares? I'd actually have an excuse to run around in public dressed as a Jacobin. ^__^

And speaking of French Rev stuff, somehow it escaped my notice earlier, but my oh-so-sharp observation skills have finally registered that my deviantART gallery has over 1, 000 hits. So I drew a semi-chibi Saint-Just wielding a sword and proclaiming my gratitude.

Medium: 0.7 mm mechanical pencil, o1 Micron pen, and colored pencils. Touch ups in PS.

Oooh, bookcase! Which colour? It's months we need to do the (last- for space reasons) addition to my bookscases, and I fear it'll be white...

Une idée excellente, Citoyenne!

(and awww, SJ!)

It's red mahogany, and oh-so-lovely! Hmm, hopefully you'll be able to get yours in a color other than white.

Merci, mon amie. J'adore Halloween.

(*pets him* He's so cute.)

Red mahogany has personality :D

(SJ? Absolutely. Ho can't he be?)

Taylor will definitely make a cool aristocrat. ^^ Thank you, and damn, if that font isn't one of the coolest I've ever come across.

weee! Saint-Just.

If you dress up as revolutionist you should make a fake head and say you were a victim of the guillotine.
...you could be the scarlet pimpernel!

[tsuru-san.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! That'd be funny as hell to carry around a fake bloody head. XD The school admins would probably hate my guts...

[life-of-amesu.livejournal.com]

they would just be jealous of your awesome revolutionary-ness

*squeals* LOUIS-ANTOINE!!

Gawd, he looks all nice and ready for Camille's deathday tomorrow.

D-M

*grins* Poor Camille...so unloved except by crazy, slashy history geeks. XD

[daughtermestizo.livejournal.com]

Aww, people loved him in his time! The wrong people, unfortunately.

Congrats on 1000 hits! ^_^
Saint-Just is lookin' so majestic with that sword. :D

...and OMG dressing up as a French Revolutionary aristocrat sounds like great fun to me! ;DDD damn why didn't our french class think of that? XD

[tsuru-san.livejournal.com]

Thank you again, cherie!
Yes, he weilds his sword quite well, defender of liberty and the republic and all that jazz.

I hope it works out because it really would be great fun. *crosses fingers*

Woooo! *cheers obnoxiously* Congrats on over 1000 hits! :D That's like...totally the shiznat.

And isn't Halloween the greatest excuse ever to go running around in public dressed as random things or people?

"Hey, dude? Why are you sprinting down the street naked with a pumpkin on your head?"
"...Halloween, dude. I'm the headless horseman."
"...oh. Cool."

Aaahaha, good times. XD

[tsuru-san.livejournal.com]

*cheers obnoxiously too* Thank you! When I realized, it totally made my day.

Hell. Yes. You should be a pope for Halloween. ^_~

[girl4edwards04.livejournal.com]

You think I should? I mean, I do have the hat and stuff. X_x

...that would be amazing, though. XD I'd make it a point to run around in every public place possible if I were a pope for Halloween.

That is so cute!

[tsuru-san.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[atoasterstrudel.livejournal.com]

That's simply divine, my dear! And in less sophisticated terms...you're the shit!

[tsuru-san.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, thanks very much, cherie!

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Very cute! Someone ought to tell him not to play with swords; he could hurt....someone XD

[tsuru-san.livejournal.com]

Thank you! He'd probably end up hurting poor Camille and then claim it was an accident... -_-'

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Good thing for Camille he kept his sword-waving to the battlefield...
