Don't lose hope on me, I'll be back.

Life has been tiring lately.

School especially.

Then came this two or three not so good weeks.

Things seem to be looking up now, they always do. (I like to think so).

Today, I don't promise, I *swear* I'll be back soon with some good stuff to post.

Will catch up on deviations too, love seeing your works.

Took an itsy-bitsy vacation from my city and went to Vancouver, got back on Monday, started to school on Tuesday. (exhausting, really)

I'm too tired to be descriptive right now. The thing is that I took many pretty photos and wanted to upload them since I shot them, I obviously didn't because I'm lazy like that
Today, something got into me and made me start editing stuff like crazy (I even got myself an ID ) and now here it is, finally.

As always, the promise of forthcoming stuff remains (You just don't get tired of hearing it, do ya?)

I guess that's it for now, tonight I'd better go get my time zone straight... 2 hours DO make a difference.

I am actually quite excited about my second semester and the opportunity to take some unusual language classes (still undecided between Romanian, Catalan or even Swedish) that is if my application ever gets through

As every year, the partially unfullfilled resolutions are:

School... yeah, right (as if I ever cared)
Being a better person than I already am (humble, also )
READ! Read 'til my eyes come out... I noticed I tend to buy and buy and buy books... like 3 times faster than I read them
Buy more books! So I can make reading next year's resolution
Keep on painting, drawing, writing... whatever else
Perfect my recently acquired machine-sewing skills
KNIT, and knit and knit and knit
Never ever grow up more than actually needed
This is a BIG one, I got to start being even more honest! Some say truth is overrated, some say lies are... I believe neither, but I think I like it better when people I care about are honest with me, so I might as well do the same for them. I ALWAYS am as honest as possible, in fact I tend to come across as rude (I must admit I also lack a bit of tact) sometimes, but I think that the hurtful truth works a hundred times better than pitiful 'well-intentioned' lies.
I've already mentioned writing, I know, but I specifically want to write on my blog more often.
Keep on living That pretty much covers anything I haven't mentioned yet... and I'm quite sure there's stuff I've forgotten.
Ya well, ehem... I did forget about something: the almost impossible and unlikely fact that I do tend to care about certain people... sometimes. So I will try my best to not get into this persons' nerves (if I haven't already)and offer them my support and my caring and all other things included... They all hopefully know who they are, and will probably never read this... except because you know, he is right here on dA http://Elise-dieKaetzchen.deviantart.com/journal/22169290/ Wed, 24 Dec 2008 14:52:48 PST
Merry Christmas to y'all! And a very Happy 2009!

May you be less of a Grinch than I currently am!

I'm a happy person because I'm done with philosophical activity at home I just have to go to school one more time on Tuesday and that's IT!!!

If that weren't enough, yesterday, I went to an art store because I needed to replace one of my brother's color pencils (MY color pencils, actually). Turns out they don't sell it loose anymore... or make it at all, i don't know, i was too busy drooling over all the beautiful brand new over-priced and sometimes just expensive stuff to understand and/or care. Anyhow, disappointed as my mother and I were, we made our way back, that is until I suffered an epiphany and told her I was going to check the price on the 120 pencil prismacolor set... just to see if it was as expensive as it always had been... turns out it WASN'T! It was like 40% off!!!! And so I got my colors!!

Today I got my first philosophy lesson, not class, ever!! Really, it made the whole semester worth it (academically, speaking because it has been so worth it in about a million ways) And between that and the most dreadful class ever, I got a kneaded
eraser... quite fun to play with

I guess that what I'm trying to say is that there is no excuse and that there will be more art and less journal writing pretty soon... promise

OOOH Here be pointless last minute addendum: I love the song from the Gears of War 2 ad, and the 'Everything is Illuminated' trailer, and the 'Little Miss Sunshine' soundtrack and God knows what else... it's 'How It Ends' by DeVotchKa... pretty cool song!

I was faced with a difficult choice: grades or artsy stuff/procrastination. Sadly I'm geeky and responsible so I chose the 1st one. The bright side to all of this is that only 2 more weeks and I'll be done. Granted, it will be the most tiring 2 weeks of my whole damned life (more like year ), but that's it! I will still have a pending final exam (thank god you can't write research papers on logics!) but that I know will be a piece of cake.

Meanwhile, I will probably be posting (if I ever get to doing that) scraps and ugly stuff, because even with the crazy and all, I have found a way to make time for practice (ehem... otherwise known as boring classes) and I'm determined to improve those skills. This will probably include coloring linearts from other wonderful dA artists, because I will conquer those friggin' watercolors one way or another!!!! And I'm also working on this cool [color pencil] drawing for my brother and I would kill myself if I messed up.

Well... as this was kind of an unexpected break ... I should probably get back to my reading

Until yesterday, comics were only a really small part of my 'extensive' knowledge of pop culture; that is, until my brother convinced me that it was a far better idea to go into the comic stuff store instead of going to the bakery with the parents. (Only because he is too shy to go in alone )

From the moment I first opened the door, it was instant head over heels love. The music was awesome (yes, music is a HUGE deal for me), the walls were covered in posters and what I liked the most: there was something for everybody. Everyone was there, from the Justice League to Peanuts, from Calvin and Hobbes to Tin Tin. If that wasn't enough already, I found some gorgeous (quite expensive too) illustration books that made me want to be a designer.. BADLY

I also remembered the good times (like 2 weeks) I could proudly call myself a Magic player... so geeky Unfortunately, I almost always played with my brother and/or my brother's deck, but he sold it He told me he actually regretted doing it (Don't say anything, but I'm getting him one for his b-day, shhhh!)

Unfortunately, after spending about 30 minutes in what for the moment seemed like one of the coolest places on earth , it was time to go home...

This week has been nice to me, except that I'm sick!! My throat, my head and my ears hurt awfully bad . I do feel better today than 2 days ago, but it still kind of hurts. I decided not to go to school today, partly because I'm lazy like that and partly because I did go yesterday only to find myself getting worse thanks to... cigarette smoke (damn you smokers, even if I know you) I hadn't realized how many people at my school actually smoke non-stop until now (even my friends do, I had to tell one of them to stop smoking, at least into my face).

Being idle is not my kind of thing, so when I found myself with more free time in my hands than I usually have, I decided to do something productive out of it. Find out about it here: [link] I do intend to do something now that I have my *brand new* set of colour pencils... but I haven't been thinking very artistically lately (pain does that sometimes, you know?); but I'm pretty sure something will come along, eventually

My only concern right now is the fact that tomorrow at 6 am (in 7 hours) I'll be up and on my way to a place called 'Las Estacas' to see my brother swimming... again. I'm kind of sick and it is supposedly cold out there so it can't be too good. Also, 2 of my cousins are competing so the thing has evolved into a family ordeal, that's kind of good, but I'm still not entirely convinced. I'll be sure to take my iPod this time... one can't sit down for hours without much to do but watch people swim, I learned that last Sunday . I'm sure it will be real fun (not the watching part!) so I'm almost 99% willing to go Perhaps I'll take some cool pics (not with the 35 mm SLR, not yet ) that is if I do remember to take the camera

Here end the complaints (I'm aware I promised I wouldn't but I couldn't help it )

On the other hand, I'm quite happy because I finally finished both of the things I was working on! And I loved my drawing! I managed not to mess it up!!! I still have to go see that sculpture in person both at the Louvre and L'Hermitage. Anybody want to join me?

I have no idea of what I'll be working on next, but I did promise myself that I would try to be constant, so I will definitely keep on drawing, or painting or knitting or learning how to use Ps And I definitely have a twisted crazy mind full of ideas waiting to come out, so I will try hard to find the time, just not now, unless I want to run late for school... again

-----------UPDATE 9:20 PM--------------

The sun did come out, and for about 2 hours, everything was sunny and colorful again I arrived home quite early (it usually takes me about an hour, today only about 35 min) and my brother (who I love... ocasionally) came to me and started talking about how much he likes The Clash I felt sooooo happy, and proud!!!! He doesn't have the lousy taste in music I thought he had!!!

Actually, I am very happy to be here, its been like two days and people are already telling me they like my work very much! I seriously didn't expect that! Thank you! (if you happen to be reading this). That only makes me want to upload new stuff !!

For those of you who want to know a little bit more about me, there is not much to be said: I'm a philosophy student with mathematical aspirations and a lot of free time on her hands... I am also a self-taught artist or something like that...music lover, erm, and that's about it.

Hopefully, I will keep on writing and manage not to complain too much
