Happy New Year!
How could I even being to reflect on 2011, it was the year my life completely turned around once again. I feel like I say that every year, I’ve been so blessed.
I quit McDonalds when I decided to chase my dreams, and I somehow got even more jobs in my field doing what I love. Then I graduated. I almost moved. I ended and started comics, and before I knew it I began building something of a...

Christmas Thanks!
Hello, this is not astrejlau, but this is her friend PaperFirefly. Anyhow, I just got a text from her with the request to log in to her blog and say she finally got her mail. (Her grandma forgot to give it to her.)
Woah, are those chicken stickers? Man, and I thought I did really well getting her a book about chickens.
Anyways, these are from (I believe): pilot-star (nuu), mangiferin (Meenie),...

Last live post, and now my password has been put in the hands of my friends in the new year.
You can always contact me on Twitter @ astrejlau preferably, or Facebook if you’d like, etc etc. Hope you are having a great New Year, I’ll be back before mid January around the 17th or whenever I finish this leg of work. Love you!

But see, buying books is really expensive and I feel bad pirating that, and so yes…that is the reason why there is an exorbitant amount of fic on my new Kindle. Because of money. That is why.

Anonymous asked: I sent off your secret santa gift today. Once again, my humblest apologies for it being late :(
It feels kind of silly attempting to break in my Docs as I sit at my computer coloring Sonic. I don’t know. I lead an exciting life.

Finished HG
Why did so many hate Mockingjay? I thought the ending was beautiful. The Hunger Games is a stunning series, really. It was real and raw and powerful. That’s how life is and the fact that it had such a beautiful end was honestly a shock, I was expecting the worst. I’m not surprised how things turned out at all, and if you were then…hah, I’m sorry but maybe you haven’t...

I completely understand. It’s like, the writers are spoon feeding us what they think we want? Or something. I can’t even feel the excitement this time that I did last winter hiatus. Though, with how this season is going, (tbc..)

Yeah, except for a couple of high points (which were relatively few, imo), this season really isn’t doing it for me. I feel frustrated at everything 80-90% of the time during an ep, and when a show makes you feel that… that’s never a good sign. :\
Personally I don’t know if...

Under the cut because talkin’ bout Glee and possible Unpopular Opinions I was discussing recently with someone:
With Boyfriend hating Glee as much as he does it’s surprising how much he brings it up to me, but he hears things at Archie and he finds it interesting enough to try and see my point of view which is sweet of him, really.
Anyway, we got to talking about the psychology of...

Worldbuilding Wednesday - FT: Fatal Transition
Rel is doing this for Checkmate, but I’ve never done this for FT and I find it odd since I’ve been worldbuilding all my life haha.
I’ve been piecing together another reboot of the story as told completely from Cygnus’ point of view and it’s very different from what it originally was, so here goes nothing at a summary of what I have so far. The FT tag is here with...

So I’ve seen a lot of other people doing things like this, and it looks like fun, so I thought I’d give it a try?
I’m working on a few stories right now, but the one I’d like to focus on is Checkmate, as upcoming comic that I am working on with Allison. All of the currently existing artwork for Checkmate can be found here, including images of the main (and several minor)...

Finished Catching Fire ahhhhhhhhh so now I’m wondering just what on earth happens in Mockingjay to make everyone as upset as they are at the book but here goes nothing.

Hi Guys, you may or may not like my Resolution.
I don’t usually do the whole ‘resolution’ thing, but I’ve been thinking about it and I know there’s one I have to do and it’s not cool, but I really need to get off Tumblr.
I don’t mean ‘off’ off, I’m technically not going anywhere and I’ll still post (though less frequently) and answer Asks and such, but I need to stop refreshing...
