I didn't expect it to be AWESOME. I didn't even expect to like it. I just didn't want to hate it. I must say I experience both feelings towards it.

Sears Essentials. Rarely ever sells anything essential. Except milk. But it's probably expired, so don't buy it.

I had to take expired medicine off the shelves. the Pepto Bismol had completely separated. Mmmm.

Retail.

It's magical that anything ever gets done in that place. A lot of people walk around and take up oxygen and make it look like they actually do something to get their paycheck. A few people do things. I'm just taking up oxygen.

Thank God I'm going to college. The entry-level jobs chew me up and spit me out begging for seconds. I admire those that can do things like this, maintain their sanity and then eventually climb the ranks.

Magical, my friends.

Corporate forces the printers to spit out some papers with orders and euphemisms and then managers tell people like me to interpret them how I want and do it. Companies must teeter on the brink of collapsing from no work ever getting done. I just don't understand.

Oh. Also glad I'm not majoring in business. Clearly not my thing.

I'm not really sure what else to say here. High school's over! Yay! RPI in the fall! Yay!

I'm really happy to be drawing again.

I use the term "Arts" loosely. I suppose it's what everyone else calls "Liberal Arts." Anything from fashion design, to theater, to writing and editing.

Anyway, with the whole diabetes thing, and the Arts being a somewhat unstable field as far as jobs go, it's not a decision that can be taken lightly. I think I would be happiest in the Arts, but the term "happy" is relative to how healthy I am as well. I wouldn't mind being a starving artist without diabetes, really. The choice would be easy for me if it weren't for the Type 1.

My mom keeps telling me "Well you can be a doctor and have a hobby." And that's all she has to say. It aggravates me slightly because it's as if that's an easy option for her. I know she's just worried about me but still. If I want my life to be art, a painting hobby on the side just doesn't cut it.

I haven't exactly paved the way for a life in the Arts though. No acting classes, no art lessons, no real experience in ANYTHING. So. I don't know. I'm just a little...scared. And I guess everyone is at this age. The future is unknown, and it's just starting to hit everybody on how soon the future will come.

Just wait it out, I suppose. ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/7582758/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/7582758/ Thu, 12 Jan 2006 12:05:59 PST

Happy birthday to Mary, yay! I didn't know she actually looked at this, haha.

So much has happened lately, but I feel much stronger because of all of it.

Unfortunately, all I had to submit was another chibi art. I've disappointed myself, I really hope I don't fall into a rut of ONLY drawing chibi stuff. Hopefully I'll fix up some of my other art and be pleased enough with it to submit it. ::crosses fingers::

So, until then. A BIENTOT!

So, that's 24 drawings I intend to put up here. Wow. I'll have to find a free weekend to clean up my sketches and scan 'em in.

*Still Questioning whether I should post them or not. I'm not too pleased, and I'm not sure if even the idea strikes me enough to fix them up so I could post them. Possibly scraps material (I know, they're so bad they might not even be worthy of scraps! XD) ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6584575/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6584575/ Fri, 23 Sep 2005 19:23:23 PDT
"...I have to draw you!!!"

Such a great show. So basically I'm the most intolerant person in the world. And I like it. And I think it's how everyone should be. And I wouldn't have myself any other way. Complain if you want, I won't care.

I'm working on a series of Disney pictures, all of which I love. Now I'll have to draw some Corpse Bride pictures too, though, right? XD ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6557216/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6557216/ Tue, 20 Sep 2005 17:53:39 PDT
I'm inbetween studying and thought I would add this here as I surf through dA.

Basically, dA is the reason I love art so much. It has given me a new appreciation in so many different ways. I love looking at different styles and interpretations with fanart and different ways to CG. As much as I love going through the art that I hope to someday be able to achieve, I love going through the forms of art that I will most likely never touch upon in my life, because although they're not my forte', I've grown to love them just as much if just out of appreciation for the works some deviants create.

I really love dA because it has opened up my love for art all over again and given me a new way to express myself. Even if most of my art doesn't end up here for one reason or another, the basic fact that I was able to do it and was inspired by something I saw here is enough for me to thank dA.

I may not get DD's, or have tons of people who watch me, but I still feel equally apart of this community and am happy just the same as a nonentity, surfing through the wonders the rest of you guys manage to create from week to week.

dA, through all the crap you're going through right now, I salute you.

(Pirate in honor of the International Talk Like a Pirate Day that I completely ignored) ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6538109/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6538109/ Sun, 18 Sep 2005 14:40:31 PDT ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6512285/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6512285/ Thu, 15 Sep 2005 14:13:38 PDT
However, I am not impressed with his attitude about the whole thing. Neither am I impressed with Matteo.

This whole thing has become more of a matter of propaganda and less an issue about principles. When you think about this, I have to admire Spyed for taking the high road and letting them go about their petty boycott, despite the fact that it might hurt the site, and moving on with the lawsuit.

Spyed was in the wrong, but he's at least being mature about his mistake. I was very very surprised to discover that Jark was 34-years-old.

In short, it's very stupid. My Mother is right, people act the same way they do when they're 30 that they did when they were 6.

Not very encouraging news for the world's future. ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6494697/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6494697/ Tue, 13 Sep 2005 13:44:06 PDT
Mood: Thoughtful
Listening to: One Day I'll Fly Away
Reading: Eragon

I used to be obsessed with Moulin Rouge, but now I'm not so much. However, I was watching it recently with my friend, and now he's obsessed with it! He's sort of gotten me back into the trend.

My life isn't looking as bad as it was before. Je suis un peu contente.

I have many ideas for art, and many ideas for Eragon fanart flying through my head. I have an idea for a two part working through my head (basically the same drawing from two totally different angles).

Maybe some Moulinbe Rouge art is in order?

I was always thinking of attempting a self-portrait, just for practice with drawing much more realistically. I was very happy with how my Vash drawing came out from using a reference. I'm thinking I may go back to using references for awhile before I can up my skill level a little bit.

I favorite'd many pieces today, but my favorite is "I still love you" for my own personal reasons.

For now, I will be studying the parts of the body for my anatomy and physiology quiz tomorrow!

We should be lovers...

...we can't do that.

We should be lovers...

...and that's a fact. ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6469302/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6469302/ Sat, 10 Sep 2005 16:15:10 PDT Listening to: What do you think?
Reading: Eragon

I bought Eldest today, even though I haven't even finished Eragon! XD AND Mugglecast episode 6 comes out tonight at midnight! I'M SO EXCITED! I'm going to wait until school on Monday to listen to it though, I don't want to ruin it. Hehehe.

I'm really excited how well my first digital art came out. It even got favorite'd!

So, I was talking about how I would love to live on a deserted island when I grew up, because that way I wouldn't have to socialize and deal with society. Mum said I couldn't do it because I wouldn't be able to live without IM. I said I could. Mum bet I couldn't even do it for a week. So I'm going without IM'ing for a week! WOO!

I did pretty well at DDR today. Thrilled!

New art ideas popping into my head all the tiiiime. I'm tres excited.

Listening to: What do you think?
Reading: Eragon

Mom challenged me to go a week without IM. So I am. She said there will be no prize, but I know there will. I always know.

I made this crazy cute little doodle so I could play around with cg graphics. It's not complicated but it's not done very well

The drama is almost over...

Reading: Eragon

Today was a rather interesting day.

My French teacher used to like me, but now she's all moody towards me...? I dunno...? I'm a little nervous what she's going to say to my parents too. I haven't done anything either! I believe I'm reading too much into it. But I liked her so muuuuuuch!! >.<

My Anatomy and Physiology teacher continues to surprise me with each new day. Whenever she says the word "protein" we are to make a gesture so as to imply to point to everything in our bodies, but it's a little odd. Then say says,

"Now, why do you think I'm having you touch yourselves?"

<--insert foot here.

So yes. Then I saw my old math teacher and I said, "I MISS YOU SO MUCH!" simply because my Algebra II class is definitely a waste of my time. Makes me very sad. At least I can teach it to myself though. I find it better if I ignore my teacher completely and doodle, much like ~Kopiok does. Ahaha. Good times.

"Pelvis? A COUSIN OF ELVIS!"
"Seizure? WHY THAT'S A ROMAN GENERAL OF COURSE!"
"Tumor? TWO MORE OF WHAT?"

Hahahaha. Bien sûr.

Then English was...blah. I'm reading Eragon for my first book of the quarter. (Borrowed from Kopiok, too lazy to type out the URL again, just look above to see the link ) I've read a little bit, and it's a little bit....odd. I'm not enthralled by it, but I guess it usually is hard to get obsessed with a book in the first 8 pages, no? Haha.

What I'm thinking I'm going to do is just draw a TON of fanart for Eragon, then do Max's SECOND request. I don't have much time for anything else, which makes me sad because I have a lot of pieces I want to move from scrap to deviant. They'll just have to wait until I have enough time, I suppose.

And that's the story of my life. For today, anyway.

"Bee side" hahaha.

Those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, go download them from iTunes RIGHT NOW!

Posted my picture of my "Family" at school. I think it came out nice, thought it's missing a few people. I may make another one.

I'm feeling in a drawing mood lately. Maybe I'll have some more stuff for you guys then. ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6420464/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6420464/ Mon, 05 Sep 2005 07:24:12 PDT Kopiok so that's not quite so bad either. I think he spends more time drawing and not enough time Algebra-ing, though.

I'm getting a lot of requests from my friends for drawings, so I'm going to start having more things to put up! I'm really excited about this, I love drawing for people. Drawing for myself always seemed so pointless unless I was doing something to improve my skill. When I give away my drawings, I feel a bit better sense of self-satisfaction. It does much more good than gathering dust in a sketch book, you know?

So, I'm giving "Gibson" to Max today. Hope he likes it! (He better! ) ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6397931/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/6397931/ Fri, 02 Sep 2005 14:12:19 PDT
I'm pretty angry lately.

I've been drawing pictures for friends, so I'll scan them before I give them away. They're not spectacular, but you know, they're better than nothing.

Too lazy to type anymore. ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/5534755/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/5534755/ Thu, 02 Jun 2005 17:25:41 PDT
I've actually never been dumped before. I've been rejected, yes, but never dumped. It's not like we were going out for a long time, either. However, we both liked each other for a long time too. We still like each other (so he says ), but he's going away for the summer. He didn't want to tie me down.

This has led to my obsessive drawing state. I have never drawn so much, and in my opinion, so well, in my entire life. I'm learning how to edit on the computer and things with PSP7+8. It's an experience. It takes my mind off things.

One picture I drew, I wasn't even aware I drew it. I was watching TV, and I had the pencil in my hand and the pad underneath, and I was doodling. I had an image in my head, then I looked down and it was NOT what I had imagined. Proof that absent-minded drawing can show your true emotions.

It was a picture of a girl lying in bed looking over to a now-empty space on the bed. It had a little note and a flower in place of where her boyfriend should be.

I'm so emo.

I'll post this sub-conscious picture later. ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/5505615/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/5505615/ Mon, 30 May 2005 19:30:47 PDT

Luckily, I was able to use that and channel it into my art!

So, with that being said, I put in three sketches and one deviation. My deviation was from awhile ago, but I was so pleased with it beore, and I had my scanner out so I figured I might as well submit it. I feel my sketches have more technique, but the quality is so lame that they don't qualify as deviation.

Thirteen more days of school! Scary and happy thought all in once. My first year of high school is almost gone. It's definitely been an....experience. To say the least, that is.

I have homework and sleep to catch up on. ]]> ~MrsNorris http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/4805276/ http://MrsNorris.deviantart.com/journal/4805276/ Sun, 13 Mar 2005 19:35:36 PST
Mainly I draw Harry Potter, maybe some FFIX here and there, possibly some Zelda. I love anime and manga too. I've ALWAYS wanted to do a webcomic, so maybe if I get good enough I'll start one.

That stuff will only happen in the summer, trust me. School eats up my time.

So yes, this journal will most likely replace my livejournal. Trust me, this is a very good thing. ]]> ~MrsNorris
