=Foxchibi is amazing. Even though I fail at commenting on her pictures for many weeks (though I do stare at them every day!), she never fails to comment on anything. That = dedication. Her art consists of wonderful colors as well, and her world that she seems to be hiding from us is extremely interesting. I want to learn all about it. Anyway, she is definitely worth a click. Go give her some love!

So far in 2008 I have gotten owned. I'm not sure what type of sickness I had / am having but it's a real pain in my ass. I'll give you the run down: body aches, somewhat constant fever for two or three days (with flare ups), chills, super sinus congestion, loss of appetite, and a fit of coughing. I hesitate to point my finger at the flu because every time I think I have it, I don't. SOOOO I'm guessing it's some sort of mutant cold-flu bug that mutated and decided to own me.

The worse part of it is over. I am back at school (for the three days I have left of it this week / semester), but swimming is still hit by sickness. I missed... 5 practices and 2 meets while I was out from Thursday - Monday morning. I tried swimming again yesterday and I felt like a little worm flailing in a giant bucket. Getting lapped on 200s. Come ON.

Today was a little better. Did about a 4000 but it was all easy. Scott (that's my coach) was like, "Amanda, I think I'll hook you up to a heart monitor tomorrow to see what you're doing." Aiiight. Sweet.

At school today I had a timed writing, a government test, and a physics retest to try and get my grade up. Finals start tomorrow, carry through Thursday, and then I have no school Friday. *win*

Just an update / whine of sorts. I'm currently working on the Shin exchange pic for this month, and then I'll head back to trades.

By the way, my main New Years Resolution was to be more active on deviantART, SO I'M GOING TO TRY. So far I'm failing. *plops*

*Zyleeth is probably one of the nicest people that I've ever come across on deviantART. Her comments are always the ones I look forward to because of the depth they cover, and her art is constantly changing and improving. The colors she uses in her artwork are so lovely and soft to me that I can't help but stare at the things she creates. She's definitely someone that everyone should get to know!

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Christmas is right around the bin of this week so I'd like to say Merry Christmas to you all

. I've spent the last two weekends running around on shopping sprees to buy gifts [and bake them] for my friends and family, and I've been enjoying the time off from school.

Art is slow, still. I'm working on art for myself as of late because of art blocks.. usually if I think I'm art blocking, I'll try not to draw any art trades because I'd like them to turn out as good as possible!

Got a new phone today, the LG Chocolate.

Pretty nice, especially since my other phone was a dwindling POS.

Nothing else is up. After final exams in January (screw this new school schedule in the ass), I will start a new leaf with a new semester! Weeeee.

Here's to hopin' for a great new year and the start of something new!

I'm a fan of creative styles and twists on the common concepts. One of my favorite artists that I think achieves this [almost humbly] is the lovely ~EvilEssence, who has kept my interest for more than a year on deviantart. Her characters and body forms of everything she draws is most lovely to me, and I believe that she truly deserves more attention here on deviantart!

Hey Deviantart.

I've been accepted into college. I've signed already to swim for Duquesne University, a small city campus located in the freezing tundra of Pittsburgh, PA. It's a bit of a different atmosphere for me as a nearly-full blood Texan, but I suppose I can handle the chill? My major is pharmacy. You think that's an easy one, but it's NAHT. At least it pays well. And I get to play with drugs! :3

Otherwise, art is slow. Winter's Hold took all inspiration out of me so I'm refilling my stock by staring at awesome speed paintings. I'll get back on task in a little while, after these few weeks. A lot of stuff going on, Senior Champs next weekend, along with a huge physics project (which owns) is due, and a government project, and.......

*ex/im plodes*

Also: Torrenting is FUN.

Don't lecture me, fools.

Anyone interested in Art Trades? :e

Wasaaaaa deviantart. I have two different arts coming along. I think you'll like them a lot, I've been working on one of them for almost two weeks at school. And that's just the sketch.

I came home today from my last schedule recruiting trip and I am pooped. I might have a surprise one this weekend just for kicks, but I'm not sure. Otherwise, life's been alright. It's gotten cold and with the cold comes my need to sleep more and be lazier. Surprise, right?

Halo 3 has caught my attention and my fingers are twitching to ask for an XBOX 360 / Halo 3 / XBOX Live for Christmas. :3 Many of my friends have it already and after playing a bit at Claar's house, I want it. Rarrar. Then maybe I could play with some of you deviants.. yeah? *GarytheDragon? :B

Trades are slow, I haven't worked on them at all. They'll come sooner or later. X_x
So is gift art, I haven't forgotten!

Anyway, thanks for the patience.

Sooooo as much as I enjoy putting around and accomplishing nothing during the evenings of the school week / weekends, lately that hasn't been the case. I've been busy. I've spent my mornings running to and fro from the College and Career Center at school, scanning things, figuring out stuff I need to do in order to apply to certain schools, etc.

Luckily, I've wrapped up most of these aspects. I've got my official transcripts ordered, my teacher recommendations given, and my counselor recommendations on the way.

Downfall:

COLLEGE ESSAYS

Trying not to exaggerate on this, but I do own at essays. AP English test got rocked last year. I can get my thoughts across when I am required to / feel like it.

REQUIRED TO OR FEEL LIKE IT.

Neither or these are applying to college essays. I know in about... two weeks or so, I will realize that "Holy shit, I need to finish 5 essays by tomorrow or--" etc.

SO. This is my lame version of a "Heads Up" that art will be very slow. I've got three official trips planned over the next month and my senior Homecoming Dance to attend. Lothlorien himself is really angry that I never finished his reference sheet two weeks ago, ish. >_> So be patient. And realize that when I don't comment and/or don't flinch when you poke me with a stick, I'm not necessarily dead.

However, I do respond to notes really fast, so if you really need me for something, note me. Or AIM me, wontoncommie is the screen name. Hit me up sometime.

Cool. It's [heat index'd] 110 degrees every day here. I'm not complaining though.. I love the heat and the humidity. We're supposed to get rain today, but it might evaporate before it hits the ground. TEXAS YES.

School starts in two weeks, ahh! Orientation is Thursday. I'll be in New Orleans tomorrow through Saturday helping my sister move in to her apartment again. Maybe go see Super Bad.

I went to a wedding last Saturday. Rebekah, my friend who graduated highschool last year, got hitched, which is crazy to think about. At the reception afterwards, I sat next to the coolest lady ever, a psychotherapist who worked in Austin. She was so cultured and intelligent that I couldn't help but feel inspiration from her. It was like I wanted to be like her when I got older. I dunno. It made me think a lot about this year and my future choices in life a lot..

I forgot where I was going with this journal entry. OH YEAH. This year I had to sacrifice Art III painting in my school schedule because my ap classes did not fit with it. I wanted to cry when I changed it. *sigh* Sacrifice.

That's been about it. I'm a little more active in devart now so that's a good start anew.

Well, the title truly says it all. I spent the majority of the week in San Antonio, TX at the Palo Alto College for Sectionals! Now that my championship meet is over, I can relax and take a WHOLE MONTH OFF of swimming. That's history right there. It's because school starts much later in Texas this year, the 27th, compared to the 16th or whatnot. SO.

Must...stay..in...shape. x_x

College hunting has started now. Coaches are allowed to call me whenever so I've been busy doing stuff like that. Ivy League? Maybe. =X I might stay close to Houston too though. No idea. Rice University is mighty appealing to me.

This month is kinda busy for me too. The boyfriend is out of town for two weeks and during that time I have surgery (wisdom teeth, oh noes!), the Projekt Revolution concert, and hopefully I'll get my cartilage pierced. Also, vacationing between the 6th-9th up to Pennsylvania. Another concert is the 18th, Family Values Tour.

I'll try to keep active here. I don't like skulking around because it's very lonely.

China was awesome. I have a LOT of pictures, but the key ones are on my facebook. Feel free to add me though!

Just ask me for the link.

We traveled to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Each were unique in its own way. I enjoyed the tour so much!

Back to the grind, however. My sleep schedule is still wonky and my stomach doesn't agree with American food yet, so it might take a bit of time. I'm starting to sketch trades though..

Hello my deviants. School's out for the summer. I've found out that I was commemorated on all TAKS exams (those ridiculous state tests for Texas), and I got all A's for this whole semester. That's very good for my GPA. Two 6.0's and a 4.0 will definitely help counteract that C I got in pre-cal last semester. Woo woo.

College hunting has began! July 1st is the day that colleges can call seniors in high school, and I'm basically scared shitless. I've mailed out dozens of college swimming letters, gone to the Junior Day at Rice University, and have attended a little banquet thing for Ohio State. No idea on where I'm going at all. Somewhere warm that has to have some college swimming and bio / bio engineering / art majors. My unrefined plan for college is to major in biology and minor in art. I love diseases, viruses, and biological warfare so that is a looming choice of career. I'll tell you one thing, though: I'm absolutely prohibited from majoring in art in college. My parents don't approve of such a risky career, and I've come to realize the problems with it (no offense, I mean making rent, etc.). It's a tough decision to make and thankfully I have a while before I have to get to it.

Oh, right. I will be in China from June 10th through June 23rd. Call it a last hurrah before senior year / college. I can't say that my swim coach is thrilled with my missing a week and a half, but oh well! He'll get used to the idea sooner or later, bwahaha.

What else.. oh, trades. They'll be delayed since I'll be gone for that amount of time so I'm sorry for that! I've gotten crackin' on them again though.

QUESTION. Is there any way that I can get the software for my Wacom tablet to become compatible with a Sony laptop? I've tried to load it and it can't be "found", and the software only seems to work with Macs and PCs. Anyone have any advice for that? I have no pressure sensitivity anymore T______T

Word. School is out on the 30th, but I've finished my AP testing and we're basically doing nothing for the next week and a half. I have one final, art (damn you absences), which I wish I was exempt from because I know I will fail it

That's just because I'm lazy though, boo.

Today's my boy's birthday. Yayyaayyaya

Sister came home last week from college

She's leaving tomorrow though, back to her university for summer classes and whatnot.

Got a job. I'm a swim instructor now, 12 bucks an hour ain't too shabby

Don't start for a while though-- orientation is the first of June.

Otherwise, life is winding down. I'm happy for summer to be here..

I was driving home today and figured you [deviantart] must wonder where I've been for the past few months. Yes, I did get a new computer-- a Sony laptop. The problem is that I don't have oC or photoshop loaded on it, so I can't draw unless it's on the Sketcher over at artgrounds. I don't sketch much at school anymore either, so basically I'm very, very, unproductive.

Here's my average day. Every weekday.

Wake up at 4:53 am. Leave house at 5:06 to go to practice.
Swim from 5:30 - 7:00 am.
Go home and waste time online from 7:30 - 8:30.
Go to school. Second period starts at 9:08.
School goes through until 2:30 pm. [usually fall asleep in ap bio or ap english]
Leave parking lot around 2:45 pm, get home around 2:55 and change.
Leave house at 3:06 pm.
Swim and drylands from 3:30 - 6:15 pm.
Talk to my love until 6:40 at the latest.
Leave. Home by 7:00 pm, eat dinner..
Get upstairs by 7:23 pm, do homework or waste time online until the latest of 11:00.
Repeat 5x for the weekdays.

I don't get much sleep anymore and I use my weekends as social time. Lately I've been busy with some college applications, college-related visits, and AP test studying.. so I'm sorry for the lack of art -_- I simply do not have time to devote truly to my sketchbook.

Also, I'm going to China in June [after SAT and ACT testing] for two weeks. Probably won't draw much except I will take many pictures! If that's the same? x__x

In art at school, I have the THAZumi contest entry.. I work on that a little at a time, and as soon as possible I need to get photoshop on this laptop so I can continue working on it. Dammit!

Anyway, yeah. Busy, tired, approaching hxc testing month, and I'm freaking out ^_^

OHHHHH! BIG THANK YOU to anyone who wished my happy birthday. I appreciated that a lot-- it was pretty good

COMPLETE OWNAGE. Muse was an opener for MCR but I completely missed them because we were at a swimming banquet until late. We got there just as MCR was starting up so it was great, god. I am so content with myself right now. Gerard, MARRY MEEEEEE.

My friend got fuckowned in the front of the stage, though. Like 8 people fell on her and finally everyone got her up to crowd surf her outta that shit. And Gerard stopped the concert just to own that area of people and to get them to stop. <3

Anyway, it was great. I haven't gone to a concert siiince.. Buzzfest last year? Or something. So this was a nice refresher. Great effects.

^{Alright-- image me on Monday night. I have just gotten back from the trip to Orlando a night before, and am happy to be home and clicking away on the computer. All of a sudden, a noise sort of like the shut down of a computer draws my attention to my tower. Like a power surge, it shuts off... and on. What the hell? After three times of this, the whole tower just shuts off, leaving me with a fried hard drive that refuses to open Windows completely.

Going to Best Buy to consult Geek Squad, we are hit with many charges concerning the computer. It was 74$ to just check what was wrong with it, another 300 to "fix it" and 99$ for a data transfer. Now I'm stuck with these decisions:

1. Buy a new tower. Transfer data. All of that costs about $400 I'm guessing, maybe $450.

2. Fix the old tower. Fixing the old tower consists of buying a new hard drive for my old modeled computer and just installing it. I think the cost of that is $315, plus $99 for data transfer.. still $415 ish.

3. Just go ahead and buy a laptop. I'm not meant to get a laptop until college, which is in a year, and this kinda puts me in a bind. Getting a new tower means I use it for a year and then leave it here. Fixing the old one could mean I have problems with it later. Buying a laptop would make sense, I guess.. I just don't want to overload it with the data that I have in my old tower. Which is a lot. Plus this laptop would be more expensive than the towers.

4. Fuck all those choices, go ahead and ebay or order a new hard drive on my own, and commence self installation. This could cause a great deal of stress, anger, etc. Maybe data transfer, maybe not.

I'm about to leave to go pick up the tower from Best Buy until I make a decision about what to do with it. I need your help on this though-- what do you suggest I do?

Until then, no new artwork. I need to edit my scanned or inked pictures, and I have no photoshop to do so.

EDIT - Being a member noob, I just wiped out half of my watch list. YESSSSSS. Sorry if you got cut-- if you remember if I was watching you before or not, and notice I'm gone, TELL ME. Big boo-boo. Damn! Today's just not my day *laughs*}

Whatahhh deviantworld? I'm still alive, but barely. Art comes out at slow speed, and all my concentration is in one piece right now. Probably won't finish it for a while, but some preview pics should be up later on today.

Digital art's getting less tempting to me now; I'm skipping over to colored pencil works for a little while. I doodle a bit but nothing will ever finish itself in photoshop.. and if I force the finish, I just get burned out x_x

I still am keeping track of current art trades, don't worry. Might take a while but they will be finished! And I will make them worth your wait, so sit tight please

.

As for this upcoming week-- I'll be in Orlando, FL until late Sunday for Junior Nationals, a huge swim meet with fast people x_x It'll be interesting.. I'm hoping to repeat my best times.

Otherwise.. just an update so you all know I'm not dead. One day I'll come back to deviantart in full art-mood.

Highschool swimming season is over.. our team got 2nd, a big let-down. My coach was basically in tears, but at least it's over. I have two more weeks of hard training and then I'm missing a week of school to head to Orlando and swim at Junior Nationals, eyyy. Then I'll be on break! *huzzah*

Midterms are in two weeks, and spring break starts after those. I've just been bogged down with essays, tests, quizzes, and books to read before then, but don't worry, art is on the way :] I'm currently working on a pretty detailed / realistic piece in art. So that'll be up sooner or later..

Sorry for those still waiting on my side of the trades, I am slow and I want them to turn out good. Also, my lack of commenting is pretty bad. I won't clean out my message box until the ends of the weeks, or even months. That's why I'm delayed on responding, so I'm sorry if I come off as rude.

Otherwise, nothing. If you need me to comment on something, don't be afraid to ask or to send me a note or something

I'll put you at top priority if you seek my advice or such.

Hmm, updates. School is less hectic. I have a slight urge to finish art, but most of it is for other people / deviantart trades and contests. I need to do some art for myself one of these days as a form of relief, seriously x_x

Most of my art time is spent at school in Multimedia, though. Sometimes I finish projects earlier so I can open photoshop to work on things, but that's about it. Right now we're working in Illustrator. Kill me now.

State is next weekend for swimming and I'm stoked. I made it into an individual event, the 50 free (wtf), and am on three relays. Hopefully we have a chance at winning this year..

Otherwise, nothing. I check my inbox but don't comment much, so sorry for delayed reactions!

Trades are going to be worked on this week hopefully, so sit tight.

ForeverDragon - A subject-varied gallery, full of interesting pieces! I'm jealous of her wide use of color :] It's a skill used quite effectively.

Rabidfreak - The first person I became deviantart friends with :] She's pretty crazy, and her style is one to love. I cannot get enough of her character, Raibeez.

She's banned, so I can't completely feature her :[ I will once she comes back.. she always does.

Gary the Dragon - Love his style-- his anthros are wonderful! He's a very nice person and is quite easy to talk to :] Browsing his gallery always rewards the eyes.

DreamingMyth - Wonderful equine-related designs and artwork! There is a wonderful feeling of fantasy in her gallery, one that you can fall in love with quickly.

THAZumi - The fact that he has finished works without lines inspires me. His shading is superb, and the details of the coloring jobs are wonderful. Definitely go check him out!

Mojimi - A fellow forum artist! Love the smoothness of the lineart in her gallery.. makes me jealous DX

Ace of Death - Hellsing. 'Nuff said. (This gallery makes me orgasm) Pencil works are amazing..

Kaljaia - A very clean, wonderful gallery. Her paintings are splendid. She has a variety of subject matter as well, making this gallery pleasant to browse.

Sonkem - Wings. Wings. Wings. I am in love with her wings in her gallery. Dragons, faeries.. variety! Her designs for clothing and beasties are worth a look :]

Rowan-Sto-Helit - Okay, this guy needs more attention. He has great detail in his lines and awesome dragon designs, but no support! I demand you readers to go check out his art now.

OKAY. Believe me when I say this that art will not be coming for a while. I am keeping track of all the art trades I have on hold.

Also, ~Sythra-Flame received a free request from me half a year ago (wow) that I didn't finish. It was meant to be a sketch but since she has waited so patiently, I will do a full-blown one for her.

The winter-esque front is hitting us right now. It stormed a bit last night and the temperature as dropped, but it's meant to get colder on Monday. Noooo! Two swim practices that day, so I'll be grumpy >_<

The swim championship months are also coming, this weekend / February weekends. I also have the dreaded SAT on Jan. 27th.

Right now I'm in Art II Multimedia, so I'm drawing but I'm not uploading anything I do. Sorry :B

So sorry for those who have been waiting for trade images, etc. Sadly, since it's been a while, some of the inks of your characters are now obsolete so I will be redrawing them.

It's been hectic, guys. School and swimming have reabsorbed all my time, and when I get home, I end up passing out on my bed without even completely finishing my homework. I doodle, but nothing large. Anything finished lately have just been school-related commissions.

A definite apology to =zilowar, the 10k Winner -_- I'll make it up to you, I promise! Sorry for the wait.

Tonight is the big school dance, Homecoming. I think it'll be pretty fun.

I'm going with my best friend in the whoooole world. He's such a bamf.

We also finished Midterms on Thursday and Friday. 1/4 the way through with the school year! WHOOO.

K, till next time.

Otherwise, school's finally under control.. ish. Swimming just started up as well so now I'm busier than before XD YAY.

Yep. School is starting tomorrow / today [it's late.. or is it early? XD]. That means I'll sketch a lot more but finishing art will happen much less.

I've got most / all of my current art trades inked and ready for coloring, except I'm taking one piece at a time. If I remember correctly, last year I finished a piece of artwork every weekend or so by holding random sit-ins on Saturday afternoon that would last some 12 hours at a time, except for food and potty breaks. Yeahh.

Tck, so that's all. Welcome to junior year in highschool.

[I can't believe I haven't used that as a title of a journal yet]

Maui was interesting, to say the least. Lots of bad things happened to me, unfortunately, but all in all it was alright. It's extremely understated when I saw it's good to be home.

I haven't slept over an hour in two days, so this is sucking up my brainpower XB Tomorrow is orientation for school to start up again, whoop whoop. Let's see who gets to torment Manders for a year D:

Lots of artwork to be colored in the next week or so. Finished a lot of inkage during my hellish flights so they should appear sooner or later..

PS: Check out this awesome rendition of Angel that *vinree drew! I am in awe. [link]

Also, I just made a livejournal. Be my friend, biatch! I may supload scribbles there.

And taggage:

6 weird habits of yourself:

1-- I wash my hands every time I enter the house.

2-- I don't brush my hair often. Or at all. XP

3-- When we have red beans and rice in bowls, I smash red beans and rice into the bowl so that it's all even before I eat it. Always.

4-- I check my computer first when I wake up. /noob

5-- I HAVE to have my jeans cover the laces of my shoes. ALWAYS.

6-- I can't sleep on planes anymore.

[no taggage to anyone because I am lazy XD]

Concerning trades and such, I just suck. I've finished 4/5 of the sketches now, s those might be up tomorrow. However, =Tyrin-Claw's sketch turned into a nicely lined drawing.. so I'm probably just gonna end up spending more time on that than orginally planned, haha. SURPRISE. I planned that all along, I swear. >_>

The reason for my rambling typage and shitty attention span would be an overdose of sleep, Midol, and Fight Club. Yay.

My latest problem is that I keep drawing nice things but become too lazy to actually color them, or at least spend a decent effort on coloring. Argh.

I watched the entire Hellsing series in one night a few days ago. Next I want to finish Wolf's Rain via YouTube, then see if I can find DN Angel.

Yay for wasting my time!

I've also been on work schedule for two weeks straight, excluding tomorrow. This is a mild problem when it comes to laundry.

I can't focus a damn at the moment, so sorry for this weird journal.

Ahh it's been a pretty good week. I've been socially busy all week, zomg. This is probably why the art trade are coming along slow, so sorry for those who are waiting >_>; I'll give you a brief recap of my week, if you care to read ;]

So Monday night, Mitch and I went cruising around his neighborhood stealing the American Flags from the yards of all the houses. It took us about an hour and a half total to get a good amount, and then we took them and stuck them back into the yard of the real estate agent that put them out in the first place. Rumor has it that they were still there the next day, lmao.

On July 4th, I worked at a festival for a few hours with my lover Alexxx, then I went to a nice ol' party. Haaa, that was an experience XD Check off a few marks for my List of Things To Do this Summer.

Nothing on Wednesday, just a badly needed laundry day.

Thursday, I hung out with ~Above-TheDeath at the movie theater. Went and saw The Devil Wears Prada, which was pretty good.

And today a group of chicks and I went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean. Pretty good, though a lot of people didn't like it. It was definitely worth it-- the fight scenes and character detailing of Davey Jones and his crew was amazing. No spoilers here, haha.

In the news of artwork, I trashed about 2 or 3 inks for the trades and am going to redo them. I didn't think they were worthy of coloring quite yet, so it might take me some time. Once again, sorry for those who have to wait.

Alright, so tonight I had another flurry of literature and spit out a bit of writing, which came from a scene in my head probably provoked by the music I'm listening to now. Apparently it's came at a good time-- Dimitri is giving me good advice on it and I think I'll stick with exploring this story. Should be interesting.

I probably won't post it here, except in the locked diaryland diary :] If you want a read, just comment or note, and I'll give you the story or the pw to the diary.

This weekend was pretty kickass and I was active with most everyone that was.. here. Haha. Everyone else was at the swim meet, sooo.. it was nice. Yeah.

Uhh, hm. That's been about it. I bought a load of indulgences on Friday for myself because I had money because I WORKED FOR IT. It felt soooooo freaking good, argh. Yes.

Today I researched .hack//sign for some reason. I need to get that dvd set. Wolf's Rain dvd set too, grr. Anyone know where I could find it?

Alright, so my diaryland diary is now locked for personal reasons and such. Sorry about that, kiddies. Usually they contain more personal information that I feel bare for sharing with anyone as of late, especially since people that I know are browsing this site and could possibly come across it.

The computer downstairs has officially died, soo I'm not sure if scanner abilities will be brought about anytime soon, unless I hook that sucker up to my own computer. I have space for the scanner now as well on my wooden chest next to the compy desk, soo that'd be pretty sweet.

Also, I forgot what I was going to say. Yay.

Uhhh.. yeeep. Maybe it'll come back to me later on. Heh.

Oh shit, I remember now. I'm reallllly slow on responding to messages and notes because I'm usually working or at practice, so I'll get around to you as soon as possible if you sent me a note X)

Okay okay, so I've been drawing and inking a good amount of works, just for coloring practice later on during the summer when I get unlazy enough to scan it all. Not the best set-up for practice, but eh. I don't have much time to myself at home this summer so at work I sketch like mad.

I had this nice, ballpoint pen that I used to ink things with. I suppose I left it at the WAC yesterday or I lost it, but now it's missing :[ Pyro, we should hold that pen funeral, hehe.

I'll get another one soon, maybe. Uhhh. Yeah.

I suppose I should get to scanning and coloring stuff now, since I can't ink anything at the moment D:

----

Errrr, nothing else going on. Dreams have been friggin' weird and sad lately, so I haven't been looking forward to going to sleep. Eck.

Art trades will remain open for much of the summer, so if you're interested, please notify me X)

Mood:: TIRED.

Alright, so I haven't written an update in about half a month, sorry kiddies :[
Been a bit busy. School ended about a week ago so I've been attempting to get used to summer schedule of swimming and all that. I'm sleeping at terrible times, soo.. eck.

Last night my sister and I went to the HIM concert at the Verizon Wireless Theatre. The opening band was Aiden, a screamo-hardcore genre. They were pretty energetic, so it was a nice opening. When Ville came out, he was wearing a black suit and smoking a cig, even when he was singing XD What a bamf. It was a great concert.

Also, my sister pulled out some old photos yesterday so we were browsing through those. It's crazy how quickly time passes.

Another weird thing to muse, someone broke into the WAC again. I swim at an atheletic center that is a part of a ring of country club facilities. A few nights ago, someone jumped the fence and broke into the vending machine for food. I love that vending machine :[ Also, either the culprit or another crazy group of people went to the diving area and chunked chairs, weights, and a table into the diving well. We found them there in the morning, just kinda laying there underwater. People are weird, man.

Mood:: Urgent / Isolated / Forgotten

Just a reminder, for random ass thoughts, ideas, and rants (also, sometimes the occasional information / story bit on my Domains and their inhabitants), go to my diary. It usually updates, moreso than I do here.

A bad habit of mine is staring at people by using my review mirror. I find it interesting to see who's driving, what they're driving, etc. I'm curious. This can't be stopped.

Tonight, however, after I dropped Katie off at her house, I was at a red light when this guy pulled up behind me. He had a cig in his fingers on the wheel, and in the other hand he had his cell phone. Something was different about this scenario, though. This time, the guy I watched was screaming into his phone, using gesticulations, pratically SCREAMING his head off at the phone. It sent chills through me and I moved over to get away from him. Eck. It's amazing how utterly ferocious we can be towards other people. Is violence and the urge to kill each other really a part of human instinct?

Mood:: Supressed.

Took an MRI this morning, should have the results back somewhat soon. This time I'll actually know (for sure) what's wrong with my shoulder.

As far as drawing goes, I'm not doing much at home but I've started back up finishing trades and such. I'm also working on the EE contest image, which is on notebook paper -_- Booo!

Everything else is in my sketchbook, so they should be whipped out this weekend fairly quickly. My lifeguarding classes were canceled this weekend, thus meaning I have more time to focus on you all. :]

My buddy Mitch is trying to get me to go to Mindless Self Indulgence in Dallas, June 27th. He's got his plan down but I'm not sure if I should go or not. Going would concern me sneaking out of my house in some manner and pulling an allnighter to drive down with the boy and see them in the Tea House (or something), then driving back.

Holy freaking shit. I don't know if that'd be a good idea, but I REALLY WANT TO GO. And he says I need to learn to live a little.

Suggestions, anyone?

Mood:: Depressed, very.
*sigh*

I have to keep asking myself;
How far will I push until they say I'm completely hopeless?

Edit:
I'm not allowed to used the tablet or draw anything for the time being, so everything is on hiatus. Also, it might take me a while to get trades and prizes done for this reason, so I'm sorry to have you all wait for them.

In the meantime, I'll keep typin' up a storm.. as long as it doesn't interfere with my shoulder problems. :[ Sorry all.

WHOEVER GETS 7000th VIEW GETS A FLIPPIN PRIZE OMG.

Tagged by ol'

There is only one rule to this:

The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things 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...

6 Wierd habits/things about yourself.

1. I hate wearing shorts, but I love wearing boxers.
2. I worship my room as if it were my own body-- it is ALWAYS clean, everything is always straight, the bed is always made, and the plants always watered.
3. If I like one song by a band, I download EVERY SONG that I possibly can. It's kind of like a prize for them-- I enjoy one song, thus I must hear more.
4. I will go to best Buy, find the new music section, and choose a random cd to buy. I won't know who the band is, what type of music it is.
5. If I don't read all the comics in the morning, I get very cranky.
6. I love to swim but I HATE THE OCEAN. Depths are probably my greatest fear.

Here are the people I have tagged...

Happy birthday to me on the 19th . Today for an early present my parents and I went out and bought a digital camera. Also, as the family tradition goes, they bought a wood chest for my room. It's been a good day. X)

Ahh, sister went back to New Orleans. She was down here for a few days so it was nice to see her :] Last week was really busy-- this weekend was even busier. I am pooped, eh! I need some more sunbathing time. Or something.

Chemistry is kicking my ass, for some odd reason. Homework much.
Oh! For the mole project, I made an aluminum dragon. It's pretty sweet.

Meanwhile I'm trying to grow a bean plant from a kit I bought months ago. It looks rather pitiful. :[

Uhh, drawings are comin' along pretty slow. I wish I had more free time at school. Maybe today I'll get some in / Animal Crossing will take over >_<

Mood:: Relaxed as hell.

Hey kiddies, I'm here to letcha know that my birthday is comin' up-- April 19th. The big ol' 16, yeah that's right. Bwahaha.

Some fun ol' bits from this week:

Death Cab for Cutie + Franz Ferdinand concert was great. Both bands were amazing live, and they knew how to entertain the crowd. The theatre that they played at was tiny, so the sound was almost unbearable but the mood was well set. I like that theatre, hehe.

I got about 6 hours of sleep that night, so that wasn't too tough on the body.
Except, after that, I had an all-nighter at our highschool from 7:00 PM - 7:00 AM. We researched some terms, freaked out all over the place, etc. It was a pretty good time, besides the fact that the next morning my brain was mush.

I slept from 8:00 - 2:15 ish, because my mom comes in the room asking me< "Should I let the boys in?"

*half sleep* "... bluh meh bluh, sure?"

So I had three handsome gentlemen in the livingroom, screwing around with my dog. We sat there on the floor for a bit until we relocated upstairs and played some super smash bros for a good amount of time. I owned em.

Afterwards, Scottie left and James and Colin stuck around my driveway, playing with a skateboard and their bikes. I attempted to skateboard on James's crappy thing but I sucked. So they went ahead and nearly got run over by a few cars..

And all that was Saturday.

Sunday, today, I did nothing whatsoever. Well I signed up for training for lifeguarding but that was about it.

Nice and lazy :]

This week I've got a banquet for highschool and my sister will be home for the weekend, huzzah!

But no worries, I still have time to unwind.. of course, after I kill myself via schoolwork.

Today was a wonderful day-- the weather was outstanding, a nice 80ish with a strong breeze. A few clouds, moving pretty quick. I washed the cars and went to Sonic with the rents in the afternoon. Argh, that reminds me, I skipped lunch. Poo.

Trades and projects are slow, but they are moving. Not to worry!

Things definitely should be cleared out by May.

A few events this week-- Death Cab for Cutie and Franz Ferdinand concert on Thursday, and then a Highschool All-Nighter on Friday. I'm going to be dead this weekend XD

Hohum.. I'm extremely restless lately.

I am open for trades and requests.
