Summer Is Almost Here!

I stayed up past my tiredness threshold last night, meaning I was tired, but I stayed up so late it went away and I couldn't get to sleep. Anyways, I used to write and draw a lot, but recently I have done these less and less. However, last night I wrote a "composition," continued a story that I must have started at least a year ago and that is itself the sequel to one I wrote near the end of sixth grade in the free time I had during state testing, and drawn a patakume, which is an art form I created a while back, if you could call it that, consisting of an extremely active battle scene drawn in one color on the back of an 8 1/2" by 11" sheet of paper, involving up to four sides battling for dominance of the sheet, sometimes including God as one of those. I dug up an old patakume I drew; here is a scan of it (feel free to laugh, but keep in mind that I was twelve years old). The quality of the art is not how you judge it, but rather on the amount of things simultaneously going on. If you count which units live and die on which sides, you can tell who is going to win the battle. Last night, the USA and the JFAA (Japanese Federation of Anti-Americans) ended with an equal number of troops, but since the invaders, the Japanese, suffered more casualties, I think it is safe to say the Americans won. I will post again after dinner if I can.
