I'm so sorry everyone, but my computer got busted, the cooler died and every time I turn the computer on it smells like burned plastic. That's why I refrain from using it until I get a new one. Yay! which I will, and it'll be a brand new one! My first not hand-me-down computer! I'm really looking forward to it!

I have been drawing again, which is good, but I cannot show it yet because I have no software for my scanner (I reformated the disc before the cooler broke, yay ;_; ), ah well.. I hope you'll live,

Anf finally, news I have been putting off for two weeks (shame on me!) is that the package I was waiting for finally arrived from Beth! Honey, I was moved to tears when I opened it. Firstly because the hope of receiving it was starting to fade, and secondly because I just got really mushy.. XD I absolutely loved the card, and the choker is beautiful! (you made it a bit too big though, XD) The dragon is so precious! ^___^ And the truffles were divine.. I devoured the BarenJager ones instantly! Miiiine!!!

Happy!

Well, see ya all soon I hope!

As some artists here, there comes a time when I feel a bit underrated and unappreciated, but then I see people more talented than me with less pageviews and watchers, and I feel like: "Jeez!! How can the community not notice such incredible talent?? How is that possible???"

It takes a bit of luck, here as well as in the outside world, to establish yourself as an artist and to stand apart from the crowd. But I have a policy, which I've had from times when I first started drawing - As long as a single person wants to see my work, and appreciates it, I will continue with my work and be happy about it.

It's true! So, my hugs and kisses to all of you who watch me, and double for those who bothered to read this journal.

In the end, I have a small request. Tell me which type of work you like best, what I should work on, etc. Do you prefer my works in b&w, my colored ones, my photos... Any feedback is greatly appreciated because it helps us artists evolve more quickly.

So, influence me! Inspire me! Tell me my mistakes so that I can continue to justify your choice to watch me.

Love you all, Tenshi.

I had a party yesterday. It turned out pretty well, despite a ton of people being no-show's. It kinda bummed me out a bit, but it was real fun anyway!

So, happy birthday to me!

And to all of you born on October 27th, I wish you a very happy birthday!

Uskoro će se osnovati Zagrebačka domena, i počet ćemo se igrati vampira.

Što je LARP? To je skraćenica za Live Action Role Play, tj. igranje uživo, sa vlastitim likovima, znači nešto tipa RPG ili DnD samo u živo i u kostimima. (koji nisu presudni)

Kako biste igrali ne morate imati uopće iskustva s LARP-om niti s Vampire Masquerade kompjuterskom igrom. Dovoljno je samo malo dobre volje i vremena.

Igrati može bilo tko, tako da ako imate 50 i kusur godina a još vam se da kostimirati i zabavljati, samo naprijed! Svi su dobrodošli!

LARP bi se održavao jednom mjesečno, po dogovoru tako da paše većini igrača. Pridružiti nam se mogu i igrači iz drugih gradova, ako im se da dolaziti do Zagreba,

Tko je zainteresiran, neka mi se javi na msn: blablator@net.hr

A lot of things are happening in my head. I'm writing more, and drawing again, after a pause. I'll post more stuff soon.

And finally continue my poor, neglected drow novel, Outcast.

See ya around, yours truly,

Tenshi.

I still don't know how great, I'll need more feedback from people who actually heard us (you can't hear anything on the stage!) ..

I really want to know how others felt about it!


I have no pictures cause I was stupid enough to forget my camera... Yes.. I am THAT forgetful. X_x


It feels amazing on the stage, it really does. The audience gives you wings. All the people moving in the beat of the music you help create in that moment... Amazing.


Within temptation was awesome. They are all such nice people! They gave us all autographs, took pictures with us, offered us pizza and drinks... So down to earth, it's just incredible. And Sharon sang so well! I admire her, I really do.

They said this was the best gig of the tour (the crowd was wild near the end!!) and, well... Zagreb appreciates you!! Come again!

When we parted with them, they wished us best of luck, and, well... They deserve it too.

Continuing LARP: Vampire Requiem, I'm quite enjoying myself, even though I had to travel to Rijeka for it.

Big news everyone!!! I found myself a band!! The name is AngelSeed, and you better remember that name!

I'm just a vocal, but I like it so much! All the songs are so great, I can't help but think we'll definitely do something out of ourselves. And I'm not kidding! I'm practicing right now!

And you won't believe this.

Guess who's gonna be supporting Within Temptation in Zagreb, January 14-th?

We will!!!!

Come and watch us, give us support! If you like metal at all, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

Still alive, college is killing what little free time I have... No time to see my friends either... Poor me... *sniffs*

I finally hooked up the scanner on my new computer (courtesy of ) so some new stuff coming up..

]]> ~Aelcharya http://Aelcharya.deviantart.com/journal/15183952/ http://Aelcharya.deviantart.com/journal/15183952/ Tue, 23 Oct 2007 06:46:22 PDT .<

I'm back from Rikon (heh, it's been awhile)..

I cosplayed an elf, since I didn't have the courage to take my fancy Arwen dress into a territory filled with (as it turned out) drunken D&D fans, lots of mud, and so forth.. Don't get me wrong, it was beyond awesome! People kept pestering me about where I bought my elven ears from (It's impossible to come by them in Croatia) so I came to an inevitable conclusion. Next time I go to France, I'll smuggle several dozen in my suitcase and open a black market...

There's always the next convention, I guess!

I also discovered the joys of LARP.. Vampire Requiem, to be precise. And I confess, ladies and gentlemen, that I am officially hooked.

No, honestly. I want more! More! Mooooore!! *makes zombie gurgling sounds*

It is a perfect excuse to wear my corsets.. Ohh, meh lovesss... *snuggles'em*



As it turns out, my parents are flat broke, so I'll get nothing for my birthday, which is.. This Saturday. Oh joy, and a happy nineteenth to me.

P.S. Had a haircut. I miss meh long curls. *sniff*

This means that I'll be away for the weekend.

If any of you Croatian people will go, you may catch a glimpse of me there!

I may even cosplay... Arwen.

(How will I hide my nails, oh Lord...)

See ya all on Monday!

I'm ill. Yesterday, my nose was running like a friggen garden hose! Aaaaaaaaargh!!

Today, it's better. But the migrene still hasn't passed... It comes and goes, this head splinching, excruciating pain!! It even has its own pulse!! It's so annoying!!

This is the last week before my college starts, and what am I doing? Am I out with my friends? Am I enjoying this wonderful heavy rain outside?

No!! I'm home sick!!!

Ok... I'm gonna stop ranting now.

There is a silver lining here as well. I've been drawing today. A lot. Some of it is actually presentable. Yay for me! ^^

I'm back after a whole month of bathing and computerlessness.

I'm glad that I can finally post some pictures from Vichy, as well as new drawings.

It's gonna take a few days...

It's just so great to be back!

First of all, I made it into the University I wanted to go to!! I am now officially a student of French and Slovakian!! Yay!

I am so happy because of this! I thought I wasn't going to make it because I ranked 857. on the exams (out of 3400 people) which ain't bad, but does not guarantee you that you'll make it into the groups you really want. Guess I was lucky! I even got in without paying! I still can't believe it!

As a reward, my mom bought me a camera!!! It's an Olympus, and I think it's just perfect for an amateur like me!

And, on top of all that, I'm going to France today, to Vichy to be entirely precise, and I'm staying there for two whole weeks!

I feel both joyous and sad because of this... I'm really gonna miss all the people I love... *sniff*

But I'll meet a ton of new people, buy french manga to replenish my already existing collection, and hopefully improve my french a bit, which is the main reason I'm going there anyway...

So, bye-bye everyone, I send all my love to every each and one of you, wish me luch, and see you all in two weeks!

Or figure it out by themselves...

But there's good news too! Since I graduated with an A (yes, all of my subjects!!) my mother is very happy and she told me she'll buy me a camera!!! Yes!!! Nothing fancy, though, because we're flat broke, but still, a camera!!

I still can't believe it!! I'll finally be able to take photos... I can't wait!

And another thing.. My entrance exams are this friday!! And to make things more interesting, it's friday thirteenth!!! XD

Wish me luck everyone! I really want to study french...

I was so anxious, so worried, got stage fright because I had an expose to do... A real genuine chicken shit. XD

But everything went well. After the first part (written, essay, comprehenshion, grammar) I was third. Yup!

I had 92 points (out of 100), the girl who was second had 92.5 points, and the first one had 95.5.

I lost five points on the stupid essay cause I can't write in french without commiting a thousand mistakes, so i was a little freaked. Five points (30 was the maximum for the essay) is like, huge!

That was on Thursday. Friday was the day for the orals. That passed fairly well, although I was shaking like a leaf all the way through. I thought that I would pass out, but the teachers and lectors on the commission were very nice and easygoing, so I felt less nervous when I actually started talking.

Then came the horror of the expose. My heart felt as if it would explode in my chest. I made long pauses while I spoke (my subject was Friendship: A true friend), but other than that, it went rather well.

All there was left to do was to wait patiently for the results. And finally, around six, they came.

My heart was, again, beating very, very fast. I waited to see the rankings and searched for my code name: 12345 Pantheon.

I was... FIRST!!!! *screams*

I couldn't believe!!! I almost cried, I swear!

I had 121.5 points, and the girl who ranked second had 120. They were all pretty close!

In the evening, there was a closing ceremony, and they were giving out prizes (for everyone). I got a really spiffy french grammar, volume two of a book I've never heard of in my life, and a heap of junk, mostly. XD

But the people who ranked first (there were more categories, like elementary schools, or beginners..) won an award from the French Ambassy (sp?).

It's a trip to France for two weeks to study the language!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!

I feel really great. I also get twenty points extra for the University I want to go to (Filozofski fakultet).

I'm so happy.

I took a bunch of awesome pictures of an ancient fortress (it's a ruin now, but who cares, I love ruins). I'll post them as soon as my friend finds a way to transfer them from her camera to her computer (cause her computer is a bit broken, and she doesn't know her way around it).

I the world today. And you people too.

Now, I'm dead, and I'm going to bed.

Good night folks.

I met with my friend today, and we had a photoshoot in a forest literally a minute away from my house. Need I say it was awesome? We had a lot of fun, despite the fact it got rather chilly near the end.

A wind was blowing all the time, and it actually made a nice effect on some photos (I must admit I was kinda counting on it).

There were some people in the park (yup, it's a park, and there is a playground too) which gave us odd looks, I mean, being goth in Zagreb is still not a very common sight.

We just didn't care. I still can't believe I felt sexy today. That is so rare...

Photos coming soon!

I was wrong.

I thought I would do well on the regional competition.

I was wrong.

I thought I wouldn't have less than 80 points (out of hundred).

...

I was wrong.

Out of seventy-six people I was number 48. For me, it is not only bad, it is absolutely dreadful. Not only did I not have eighty points, I didn't even have seventy.

69. I had sixty-nine points. That is barely two thirds of the test.

How badly could I have possibly screwed up to be able to lose 31 points??? What have I done? Where???

The tasks were easier from those we had on the test in the school competition! So I keep asking myself, where did the third of the points go?

WHERE?

Don't ask me. We cannot see the tests, I'm feeling worthless and like crap right now, I'll probably fall asleep crying and I'll be depressed for a weak at least.

However, I still cling onto that last straw of hope: maybe somebody made a mistake while correcting.

But of course, why would they. It's the Murphy's law. Don't you just hate that guy?

Just kidding.

The truth is, I've been watching so much Naruto that my mind is slowly converting to Naruto universe (paradise?!?) and I'm not sure whether it is a good thing or not... When I post a new picture I've been working on, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Gaara has become my favourite character for sure. His past is so sad, I wept like an idiot while watching. Hang in there Gaara!! *gives him a squishy hug*

And I seem to adore the strangest couple combinations imaginable. You DON'T want to know. I'm just sick.

Except... I'd keep Kakashi for myself. Yup. Hands off! *drools buckets*

Well, here's how this thing works.


The Rules

The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours...

Here it goes, then. Things I hate about myself: *trumpets and drumming in the distance*

1: I'm depressed. Nearly all the time, and I see the world in black, which I hate, and which I would like to change. Hopefuly one day, I will.

2: I'm lazy. I never get anything done! I hate that trait of mine...

3: I have a weird habit. I sing in the middle of the street, and mostly the stuff I come up with at that very same moment! And since I sing in english, which is NOT normal in Croatia (the little, insignificant country in the middle of Europe who nobody can find on the map) people tend to think I'm out of my mind.

4: I have abnormally dry skin. Nothing I do seems to make it better. It pisses me off! *growl*

5: My body isn't normal. I'm really thin, and people often confuse it for anorexia or bulimia. And I hate it when they try to convince ME that I'm anorexic. I mean, anorexic people count calories and everything! I eat junk food, sweets, cakes and I don't give a damn! I eat and eat and eat but nothing shows. It's just because of my fast metabolism. And I don't think I'm fat. I'd love to gain a few kilos... Lend me some!!!

6: I like my voice, and I love to sing. It's my greatest passion and obsession, my greatest love. Sometimes, I even like the way I look. But any sort of recording device ruins my whole image about myself! My voice, recorded, sounds absolutely dreadful!! And the way I turn out on photographs is less than .... presentable... One out of thousand turns out half-decent.

People I'll tag:

I couldn't believe!

I was surprised (taken aback, more likely), so I'd like to thank you all for watching me all of this time, I want you to know that I truly, really appreciate all of you. The very fact that you're here to occasionally drop by, lurk around or actively comment makes my efforts worthwhile.

This journal is for everyone who ever clicked on my page. To this day, I remain grateful for every comment or fav you guys gave me, and I promise that despite my lazyness, bad english, or occasional absence, I'll continue to do my best!

I you all!

Even though I've been sick this past week, so I haven't been to school at all...

Now I finally have more time for my artistic aspirations... I want to draw! To sing! And write!

So I hope I can at least get to do one of those things properly.

You won't see any Christmas themed drawings from me, (or at least I think so) but I will try to finish some stuff that has been lying around for ages. Nara and Asriel... YES! I shall finish!!

And I hope mom won't kill me when she sees the internet bill... *gulp*
