                <description><![CDATA[ lol just barely.<br /><br /><br />how are you all?  im glad to say that the comp is up and running again, albeit somewhat slower than before. however its been moved so i've been having to move back and forth to use the scanner installed on my folk's computer so scanning stuff has been a bit slower as waiting for the comp to be free does take a while!<br /><br />as for requests, i've got three pending, 1 inked, 1 sketched and one that i'l be starting soon. i'll be on all these asap.<br /><br />life has been pretty quiet since i left uni, i can't get anymore hours added to my shift rota in work so even at payday im pretty much broke so it's hard to get a leg up on anything. however im doing a graduate job search which i hope will get me a proper, 'grown up' job so i can earn enough to actually move forward.<br /><br />well, that's all i got to say m'dears, a bientot!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" />blu<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ *this might be a bit long, i got carried away, gomen!*<br />**by the way, i am not attacking jordan,jodie marsh or anyone else who practices what i've mentioned in this blog/note thing. im speaking from an emotional sense**<br /><br />(facebook dubblepost!)<br /><br /><br />do I? <br /><br />*sigh* the things we do just to be liked.<br />even giving up dignity and our value just so someone will look and listen.<br /><br />there's something i've noticed, especially amongst young girls and women that a scary trend is growing: sexuality<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=p" title="=p (Razz)" />opularity.<br /><br />i see it all the time, girls who believe that sexuality equals popularity, friendship, acceptance, even love. on myspace, bebo, facebook and any other social networking website i can see waves and waves of painted babies in preteen glamour shots where young girls as young as 12 clamour around a camera, in mini skirts, frilly tutus, and low cut tops exposing acres of immature cleavage from budding chests,heavily mascaraed eyes flutter and glossy lips purse and pout at the camera shutter,little faces chubby cheeked and seductive. i open newspapers and magazines reading about 12 year olds aspiring to become glamour models and 15 year olds saving up for breast enlargements. the teenaged and preteen female demographic of today would rather step into Jordan's shoes and become glamorous, sexy page 3 models rather that go to college/university. ten years ago the most popular career aspiration was a doctor.<br /><br />why is that? maybe its our desire to be accepted and loved, for someone to pay attention and care about who we are and what we do.but why love the body over the heart and mind? isint it enough? but then again everybody loves attention and the old adage; "sex sells" always rings true. however you can't blame these girls for thinking this way though, in newspapers and glossy magazines column inches are dedicated to glamour models Jordan and Jodie Marsh, who Jodie's dating, Jordan's latest fight with Peter with them both wearing almost nothing. despite said column inches having a mocking tone it does not matter, they're getting attention. anyone of importance is usually placed on the back burner. like in school, the girl with the straighter, blonder hair or the most make up get the attention and popularity, the smart kids get bullied and ignored.<br /><br />however, im not here to preach about anti sexualisim or whatnot, im here to ask when it became all or nothing. becoming a sexual being is part and parcel of growing up, as its ground in our DNA through evolution to mate and create offspring. that's what animals do, but as a human being, with higher consiousness and intelligence, should'nt that be one facet of one's personality and identity, rather than the dominant one? as a person, arent we worth more?<br /><br />girls and young women are made to believe that if you are not considered sexy or attractive then you're not worth the time of day. Jordan, for instance gets very upset and gets more parts of her enchanced or tanned to look like a fence after a fresh coat of ronseal if her husband Peter gets a couple more mentions in a tabloid than her, but why? Peter loves the very bones of her so it's not for him. is it for her? to validate her self worth? people who get enchancements for themselves i salute you, but do people get things like liposuction,breast enlargements and botox so they can be sure and confident that someone will find them attractive which in turn builds the confidence they did not previously have?<br /><br />im veering of the subject a little but i genuinely believe that the above statement does apply. one time on facebook there was a application called 'are you interested' which i joined out of boredom and curiosity. i posted a picture of myself just looking at the camera smiling and waited but i got nothing, so, i reposted with a picture of me posing with a sexy pout and the hits came in a mile a minute. now, with no hubris intended im a nice girl who's reasonably smart but because i was not considered attractive i was passed by. so called 'camwhores' who bare breasts, butts and anything else do it for the popularity and those who have constant one night stands so they can feel attractive and loved, passing themselves around like sandwiches at a buffet. both doing it for acceptance and the desire for someone to at least pretend to care, whilst diminishing their value and worth.<br /><br />im probably boring you now so im going to close with this. society has the values on which acceptance is based on completely backward. people, especially young women should be appreciated for what they have in their heads and hearts, not what's in their bras. but to strip yourself of your self worth and dignity in the hope that someone will love and accept you for what they see than for what you are begs the question:<br /><br />do i have t... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok, i know that this is probably old news to you all but i never really saw any evidence until now. and it saddens me.<br /><br />ok, i've noticed whilst surfing through this site that there are loads of people on here who wish to become anime artists and illustrators and far too little of those who actually put in the effort. kudos to those who wake up in the morning and think to themselves; "i want to be an anime artist!" or "i want to be an illustrator!" and achieve it through study, practice and hard work. i give these people my respect because like anything worth doing it's tough to get to a level you want to be, but that's not who im addressing, im addressing the others, the ones who would rather not start at the bottom and work up, the ones who want instant popularity..<br /><br />.. the ones who trace.<br /><br />people who trace existing artist's work are far too commonplace on deviantart, which is called an ARTIST'S community, note how i've put the emphasis on the word "artist" because people who trace are not artists. tracing and copying other people's work is not art nor is it a valid form of illustration, it's pure lazyness and unfair to those who study for years to hone their craft and tracers undermine them by copying their work.<br /><br />ok, im expecting a chorus of "im tracing cos im still learning" and other related rubbish, im going to cut to the quick and cut through the whining before it starts simply by saying that tracing does not in any way, shape or form help you to learn.what does help you to learn? practice, study and old fashioned hard work. want to draw cute anime girls? look up Julie Dillon. want to draw guns and cyberpunk insired work? Patrick Shuttleworth does very detailed and easy to follow tutorials. just want to develop an illustration style away from anime? dig around for Don Bluth or Preston Blair.  all these artists have created tutorials (especially the last two which have written books on the subject) to help you get to know the basics so you can practise practise practise until you make something totally and completely your own, making the ideas that are in your head form on the paper the way you visualise them after a long slog is way more satisfying than copying someone else, it's a great sense of achievement.<br /><br />something else about tracing, tracing does not bring popularity. for a short time maybe, but expect most of your fans and watchers to leave you and expect other artists' to stay away in case of theft when you get caught. it's a pretty serious violation of the site's policy, with tracers getting their work removed, a suspension or a permanent ban.<br /><br /> <br />right, i hope i've made this clear. tracing is lazy, unfair and it gets you no respect. if you've got time to trace then you've got time to draw.<br /><br />useful websites:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.howtodrawmanga.com/howtodraw/tutorials.html#start">[link]</a> - julie dillon's tutorials are on here<br /><a href="http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/">[link]</a> - patrick shuttleworth's tutorial site<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" />blu<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ yeah, it's how i feel right now.<br /><br />ohh, what am i going to do? everything is rubbish, i don't know how to be right now.<br />im dreading going to work tomorrow, thanks to my boss nitpicking at everything i do and generally being a complete jackass i've become really paranoid and nervous around everyone to the point where i can't work properly. i feel that everyone is talking about me, waiting for me to slip up despite me telling myself that i don't hold any significance in anyone's life to have them talking about me. what makes me so special? but i still do.<br />im completely broke to the point where i owe my bank an overdraft charge, plus i've been sick for two weeks with the first week being in so much pain and unable to breathe i could barely stand. i have so much that needs handing in but i couldnt because my illness gave me joint pains so bad i felt like my wrists were broken. im trying to catch up now but im really scared i'll be kicked off. i don't blame them if they do, everything i draw is crap and my colouring skills are terrible no matter how hard i try.<br />my Grandfather was rushed into hospital too cos not only for a chest infection but for a mini stroke and a heart attack. it's a miracle he's still with us, i don't know what to think or say because all i hear is about how much he wants to give up and im torn because as much as i want him to improve i also want him to let go so he dosent suffer anymore. his lung disease means he'll never be truly well and be on oxygen all the time (which he is fed up with) so i don't want him to struggle through it anymore so it's a toss up between being selfish and being heartless.<br />what do i do? the only things that are keeping me sane are my family/friends,my ninja clan and my boyfriend Ian. im worn out and i just want to be happy again, i can't take much more of this, im only human!<br /><br />i hope and pray that 2009 will be a better year for me, i just want to be happy again.<br /><br />~owari<br /><br />R E Q U E S T S<br /><br />cos of the christmas period i'll have a bit of time<br />to do a few requests, so far i've got one:<br /><br />1) <a href="http://rtalon235.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/t/rtalon235.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconrtalon235:" title="rtalon235"/></a> - a picture of my blu and his tissi (speaking of which, can i have a ref pic of her? and what sort of 'theme' type thing would you like?)<br /><br />ok, that's it for now, there's two slots free atm so if youre interested just let me know!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" />blu<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ is it me or does facebook exist just to show me just how isolated i am?<br /><br />i've just been clearing my fb page up a bit. im wondering wheather just to give up and abandon it, there really isint any reason for me to stay there, well none i can see.<br /><br />i was hoping it would be a useful tool to help me gain more confidence with talking to people as im extremely shy, but i dont get anything. i do leave comments but im a bit scared of what people will say, if they say anything at all.<br /><br />i think it's just there to show me how different i am and how i'll never be normal, which does not help the grieving process at all. all in all i don't think i'll ever come to terms with it and accept my illness. it will always be bothering me, like a big black cloud.<br /><br />i put art up there, just as a talking point maybe, not to be big headed but because its all i can do properly. my whole life and spirit revolve around drawing, if i cant do that then i would have no reason to exist, i wouldnt be able to carry on as there will be nothing in the world for me. what can i do? is this why no one's interested?<br /><br />this feeling of isolation and lonliness is something i really don't need, with work problems and cash and university worries this is something i can do without. maybe i should leave it, at least for a little bit.<br /><br />and my teeth are all kinds of fucked up. *sigh*<br /><br />ok, on to other stuff.<br /><br />right, i need to know. do you have any requests that i might have forgotten about? please remind me! gomen!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" />blu<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ by this time next year i will no longer be a student and the very thought makes me really sad and so scared. to tell the truth, despite six years of study i just don't feel ready to leave because im just not good enough.<br /><br />im not good enough to be paid for my stuff, there's so many things i don't know how to do, so many things i don't understand. i need to improve in so many ways and yet my time has ran out. <br />i've got a commision outstanding because im so scared that the guy im doing it for will hate it. im just not good enough to do anything, i don't know anything, no one will hire me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crying.gif" width="20" height="17" alt=":crying:" title="Crying" /><br /><br />im terrified, well and truly terrified. nobody will want my stuff because it's crap. sure i can draw anthros and cute anime girls but nobody wants that, they want other stuff too, stuff i havent learned yet.<br /><br />but, what scares me more is that drawing is the only thing i can properly do. i was good ad science and stuff in school but even then i was only average. this is the only thing i have excelled in and even then it sucks, but if i don't draw, what will i do?

                <description><![CDATA[ ok, i am sooo angry right now.<br /><br />yet again, my manager has collared me for having black hair, but with a turquiose fringe. yep, fringe.<br /><br />now, according to my handbook im not allowed anything colour or style that's too extreme, now, would having a turquoise fringe/bangs be considered extreme? even with black hair?<br /><br />not at all.<br /><br />i am a peaceful, reasonable person. im not some brat who enjoys breaking rules. i did this as it represents my creativity and keeps within work constraints, a compromise you can say.<br />i decided to dye it all black a few days prior as i want it to grow one colour however forcing me to change MY appearance, despite my compromise is not on, they have overstepped the mark of enforcing company policy to being completely unreasonable and unfair and violating my human rights.<br /><br />this aint over. apparently the area manager (the head honcho) is coming to check the store soon so i will be having some words.plus, im gonna get some legal advice and do as much research as possible on this matter and since the human rights law is european union approved it won't matter what the company policy says, if they're breaking the law they're breaking the law and they aint above that.<br /><br />like i said before, im a reasonable, peaceful, mature person but im not scared to fight back and stand up for my right to be an individual.<br /><br />EDIT: look what i've found!<br /><a href="http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Governmentcitizensandrights/Yourrightsandresponsibilities/DG_4002951">[link]</a><br /><br />if this holds true then they are going to be very,very sorry.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ about three weeks ago i went to my cousins' wedding and i gotta admit i felt a bit teary watching them have their first dance as a married couple. it made me wonder whether someone would find me that awesome, awesome enough to want to marry me and have a huge, lavish wedding with a big wedding cake and a band and me in my floofy gown and sparkly tiara. oh yeah, and the nice honeymoon far, far away. so far i've attracted the wrong people so....<br /><br />......what's wrong with me?<br /><br /><br />without blowing my horn im kinda smart (no genius) i like to mess and kid about, im genuinely kind and nice, im not beautiful, but i am kinda pretty and cute and im in ok shape (no playboy model!) so what's up?<br /><br />my sister says that i lack confidence and have low self esteem. and im kinda shy and.. well, disabled. is that why?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well, i gave it my best shot the second time and it didn't work out. ah well, im single again. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />well, it's my fault for genuinely believeing that everything had changed for the better and stuff was worth another shot, but the truth is that we are both too messed up in the head to help each other and basically deal with each other. well, never mind eh?<br /><br />however, this has left me with another problem. he still wants to be friends. and he's been calling me, alot. i said i would remain his friend, ya know, someone to talk to once in a while, but not so soon!  admittedly he has alot of problems which he's completely mired with and it makes me sad that apart from me and a few others he dosent have anyone to talk to. but im still a bit sad and i would really like the time alone to sort my head out. what's worse, is that my parents think that im still contacting him when i really want him to leave me be for a while, i really need a break!  but how do you say that to someone who seems to be in dire straits? so, i tried to say that i need time alone to help myself before i can help anyone else as nicely as a possibly can (i don't like hurting people's feelings) and my mum shook her head at me and is now giving me the cold shoulder. i think she said that she's given up on me which is completely unfair  as i was trying to get him to leave me be as im upset enough and she dosent believe that i've deleted his number and he called me despite me trying to ignore him. i've even switched my phone off. i honestly cant be horrible, i can't be horrible to anyone so this is my only option.<br /><br />to tell the truth, my folks can be pretty harsh and unfair if i don't conform, i feel like a 'thing' rather than a person and that they 'own' me. but what about me? <br /><br />this is all too much.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
