I have a new computer!

~Otterbane — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:09:53 PST

.:Wolf CSS

Yup, Dad made me a new computer, grabbed the innards and screwed em all in and set me up with the glory of Windows 7!
I have for than 40gigs now! And movies!

And... Oh my god. A graphics card that isn't made out of cardboard and will support Spore!!!!!! (WIN) Now I need to buy some bootleg games! Oh this is so wonderful!

I also looked at some Bamboo Tablets today. Holy shit Harvey Norman is expensive! JB-Hi-Fi FTW!
But yeah, I still haven't decided to get one yet...

But yeah, totally stoked with my new computer, Dad has to put it in Mum's house tomorrow (because that's going to go down oh so well...)

But I have a wicked sound system (snow Patrol on full blast? YES PLEASE.)

I have some pretty neat programs that will come in handy for next year (year 10), especially since I'm taking Year 11 biology (just scraped through with my ass kissing). So yeah, it's all AWESOME.

How was everyone's weekend?

Oh yeah. My friend Courtney, who is a freaking tank, is getting me motivated to get fit! (woohoo!)
I went for a run last night (yes I'm sure you're all interested) and found my limit, Which meant I wheezed my way back home. Really fun, but I think I have a cold-y thing now.
Yeah. Good fun. I want to start boxing, My dad is like "NO. NO BOXING. YOUR FACE GETS DESTROYED AND YOUR LIPS GO ALL PUFFY." and Mum's like 'Sure, it's a good way to let out aggression!" Tension free and botox? Count me in! Lol, j/ks. But I might look into it, either that or Tae-Kwon-Do, which is UUUUUUUUUUUUUBER expensive, but awesomely fun.

Uhm. Yeah. I have Year 9 Exams this week. Good fun. :/ I'm shitscared.
Apparently if we 'take the day off', our exam marks will be (and I quote) "SEVERELY COMPROMISED." I thought 'compromised' meant that it was null and void... So either my teachers are stupid, or I am, or they've just come up with a better threat that makes 'null and void' seem puny.

But yeah... It's all pretty neat right now. We have plans to go away for Christmas, just 3 days, but it's going to be cool.

Uhm what else... OH YEAH
For the second year in a row, I've won the Ceramics Award! Very happy. And I alos won an Endeavor Award! Which is neat, because my Ceramics teacher is completely AWESOME.
But I made a really awesome distorted piece, which I need to add wire too (does anyone know how to barb their own wire?) and I've also just finished a stop-frame animation project, which looks pretty neat. If I can figure out how to put that up here, I might. The lighting keeps changing, but in some places it makes it look more... scary? I dunno.

Oh yah. And since my room at Mum's house is incredibly small and we can't renovate, we're refurnishing the rumpus room so I can study in it! Full set of Encyclopedia Britannica! Woo! Thank you grandma for collecting expensive stuff! Seriously. She was like an antique maniac. Heaps of stuff to sell, I know it sounds inconsiderate, but antique stuff was NOT made for comfort and since we're not having the Queen over for tea anytime soon, we might as well sell some stuff, but the GEC kinda makes people not want to buy expensive antiques. But STILL. All locked away for now

So yeah. That's my news.

... I hate you Jen.

I was tagged by

1. The person who does this must make 3 wishes that do not directly affect him/herself (and that includes someone else giving him/her money/what ever they want)
2. Try to avoid cliche wishes (World Peace being one)
3. He/she must then tag 3 people to do this journal
4. Keep track of the number of wishes made through your chain.

Count: 12!

1. Well, I wish EVERYONE was happy. You know, the PEACEFUL definition of happy, not the "OH I LIKE KILLING THINGS" happy.

2. Well, since that umbrella term covered world peace... Uhh... I wish the Earth was all pristine again.

3. I wish that we would KEEP the Earth and all the creatures that inhabit this beautiful, wonderful world in a pristine condition, so no endangered or extinct animals that we made extinct (sorry dinosaurs.)!

I win!

Uhm. Yeah. Tagging. I tag...

Flash 8

~Otterbane — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:05:51 PST

Sorry, I was going to upload this about 6hours ago, but I was at Dad's house and the computer mouse was screwing with me, kept scrolling and backspacing and whatnot. Grr.

Anyways, there's a photo of me in the gallery and I have discovered the wonders of Macromedia Flash 8!

Which basically means, FLOOD OF ART!

I'm kinda obsessed with David Hopkins at the moment. He does the awesome webcomic JACK, which is furry, but it's not FURRY furry. You can read it if you're not into anthro, etc. It's a REALLY good comic.
[link] <--- for those of you who are interested. By the way, it's a bit gorey and stuff so... 15+?

New art!

Might be getting a tablet this Christmas! Which is neat, I must consult Mr. Tom Fischbach (author of the webcomic TwoKinds), whom I believe has a lot of experience with such things

Who's Number One on the National News?

~Otterbane — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:13:57 PDT

Yup! It's us! My school, MWSC is #1 on the national news, due to a muck-up day party that got gatecrashed.

About 6 people injured, one with a concussion and in hospital on observation. And we had Channel Seven, Nine, Ten, SBS and Sky News at our school 'reporting'. Then some guy egged the Ten reporter, gave her something to report about apparently.

ANd then the Avila girls (neighbouring all girls school, full of bitches.) kicked up a big fuss because they got egged at the station. It's like a TRADITION. You can't NOT egg the Avila girls as they wait in a giant, easily targeted group. Muck up day tradition. So they lied to the news reporters, fabricated a heap of steaming bullshit and the media is eating it. Pfft.

Oh, guess what, I was in the city that day on an excursion. And I got back. And I had to wait 45min for my Mum to pick me up because she forgot. And I saw the whole thing The school and the police (?) want to know for sure if it was the MWSC students who egged them (You know, innocent before proven guilty or something like that.) and... Well... I sorta know some guys names and faces and...
Ah, it's fun though.

Hate is a poison

~Otterbane — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 05:15:38 PDT

But regardless, all poisons are good in moderation.

Sorry in advance. Turn back now.

I'm in a PMSing pissed off mood. First of all. What the hell is wrong with us?!

"Oh. I got a bad test result. I'm going to go and die now. No-one loves me." *cut cut cut*

"Oh noes. I feel sad." *cut cut cut*

"Oh noes, I can't do this. My parents must be douchebags. That means no-one in the world cares about me. I am so insignificant, kill me now." *cut cut cut*

Fucking suicidal DRAMA QUEENS. Sure, there ARE things that merit that kind of complete depression (No, I'm not talking up my ass, I've had it too,) WHICH IS WHY I'm SICK TO DEATH (haha.) of these annoying, IGNORANT teenage DRAMA QUEENS, ATTENTION WHORING all over my new t-shirt. PUh-LEEZ. Just because you feel insignificant for ONE MOMENT, doesn't mean we all need to hear about how 'SHITTY' and 'AWFUL' your life is. There's venting, there's ranting (like this.) and then there's just ATTENTION WHORING. FUCK ALL, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT. Get a life. No, better, control your weak mind.

Second thing:

Smokers.

Filthy.

Disgusting.

Smokers.

I am sick of your second hand smoke and your weak ass minds. What do you THINK MAN?!

"Hm. Okay, these people I called friends have peer pressured me into having a cigarette. Hm. Okay, one puff. *COUGH COUGH HACK* My lungs are dying. I think they're going to fall out, this is terrible. How can anyone even do this? Yeah, I'll have another one." ?!?!

Mum says that no-one knows shit about addiction if you haven't had one, but HONESTLY, it can't be THAT hard, some arse blew a load of smoke in my face the other day in the city, it was fuck all disgusting, the taste is still in the back of my throat. Now, if I had actually taken a drag on a cigarette, it would have been, what, ten times magnified? Even a mentally disabled child would know better. Look, broccoli tastes not that great, but it doesn't make you feel like you're going to spew your insides out through your mouth if you eat it or smell it.

Okay, I'm done. But seriously. What is with people today? I'm not saying I'm perfect, FUCK NO, I am GOD, no I'm just kidding, no-one's perfect, not even God, but I won't start that. But yeah, no-one's perfect, least of all me and how did Radiohead end up on this playlist?

Okay, so liek.

~Otterbane — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 04:40:52 PDT

I always forget how to do percentages. So I'm going to write it here because I think I lost the page from my maths book that I wrote it in.

Finding Percentage:

Xnumber * (percentage you want to find)
__________________________________
ONE HUNDRED.

I think that's right. I HOPE that's right. I always freaking forget! I should probably have it tattooed on my hand or something.

Anyhoo, my uncle has agreed to take me on for work experience next year, so I just have to stea-- grab the form that makes it 'official' from the careers room at school when I get back and HEY PRESTO, i have a half-job-thing. Anyways. Yeah. Apparently he just had some kid on work experience and apparently he was a pain. But anyways, I promise to be a good little psychopathic angel. (they exist. Trust me.)

Uhm. Been playing Zelda: Twilight Princess Which is AWESOME. And. Well. DISASTER! Super Smash Brothers: BRAWL DOES NOT WORK. AND I WAS CRUSHED. CRUSHED I TELL YOU. CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSHED.
(Kudos for reading this much so far.) And so... Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is... It's ALL RIGHT. Y'know. I liked trampolining

Pokemon Battle Revolution took AGES to get through the starting bit. So I got bored and turned it off. SERIOUSLY. IF I'M NOT GOING TO USE THIS MENU FUNCTION, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT. TELL ME WHEN I USE IT. NOT WASTE 20+ MINUTES OF MY TIME WHINING ABOUT IT. ARGH.

So I have this english project to do that I REALLY can't be bothered doing, so I'm cheating and using a children's novel. But I still can't be bothered and I should be doing it now and my holidays end in two days and it's daylight savings and I LOSE AN HOUR ANYWAY. And now I'm all sad and I'm talking fast, but it doesn't show because it's INANIMATE TEXT. And. Yeah. :/

Gta sucked. I mean. Really. SUCKED. I liked killing people, but it got boring.

:/

~Otterbane — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 23:53:34 PDT

So like... What... A month ago? I sent in my job application to Angus and Robertson, both online and by mail... Have I heard anything? Nope. Am I annoyed? Slightly. I mean, if they sent me a letter saying ; Sorry, please try again, I'd be really happy, because that means they GOT IT. :/ Ah well.

Anyways, when I do get a job, I REALLY want a tablet. ... THat is if my Dad doesn't get me one for christmas already. Seriously, if I had one of those awesome-sauce tablets with a screen on em... Oh boy, I'd be on a rollercoaster.

Anyways...I still have my DS, played Scribblenauts on it the other day, it's a pretty wacky game if you have an R4, go and download it! Or if you have copious amounts of money, go and buy it! Seriously, it's an awesome game, it's like Drawn To Life, but you get to... Summon things I suppose. Just type in what you want to summon and BAM! It's awesome, God just about pwns everything except the vampire, which turns God into a zombie... It's good, but after a while... I kinda lost interest, so... Buy it only if you don't have ADD and like the same thing with minor differences over and over. Or if you really like puzzles, buy it.

Also played Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, which was GREAT! Better than the first one I think... Yeah... Play that too.

Right now, I'm playing Digimon World: Dawn, which is... It's alright, not the best thing I've played, but it isn't the worst either. 6.5/10.

So yeah, that's my dull life School Holidays ftw!

Experience

~Otterbane — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 19:16:37 PDT

Wow, I can speak again. After 40 hours of silence.

It's such an amazing experience to lose something so IMPORTANT and something that we just take for granted.

$40 (AUD) will feed 5 children in poverty for a MONTH. That's $8 a month per child, imagine, in today's world, what just $8 would get us. It wouldn't feed us for a DAY, yet alone 30 of them. And yet children go starving every single day of their lives because we're just that greedy. If everyone just gave ONE DOLLAR, just one, then we'd eliminate poverty from a few countries in Africa. To completely eliminate poverty, it'd only take a few billion dollars, and yet, we can't extend ourselves to that, the government spends at least double that amount every year on roads, etc. Things that we could do without.

So I hope that more people will do the 40Hr Famine next year, you don't have to give up food or anything, just something, to make you see how important things that we take for granted really are, because somewhere out there, there is a child who doesn't have sight or hearing or speech and never will because we just can't give a dollar.

40Hr Famine

~Otterbane — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 03:51:01 PDT

Hey guys, doing the 40hr famine right now! Not talking until 12pm on Sunday!

So like, this is the last bit of talking I'm allowed to do until Sunday! Wow!

So yeah, it's actually kinda boring...

I'd ask for donations and all, but it'd have to be over the internet, and that's complicated and all, but yeah

Woo! Go me!

I have an iPod and also some news!

~Otterbane — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 04:38:32 PDT

My Dad bought me a new iPod Nano (Chronicle for you educated bodies.)! 16 gigs of music Ah, bliss.
Can't wait to put Season 1 of Life on it and then go and BUY SEASON 2. MUST BUY IN THE NEXT 20 DAYS. I am not materialistic, don't get me... right, but see, my season 1 dvd of Life is my most prized possession.

Anyhoo, I have a rather... depressing poem I'm deciding whether to upload, written in my more... Uh. Darker moments of life. And no, it wasn't PMS.

My R4 is epic, many thanks to Jackson, who provided me with Animal Crossing!

I'm drawing a lot, although nothing is good enough to even hit the scrap pile yet... So... Sorry folks, keep waiting! Hey, BRAINWAVE. At the end of this year, I'll photocopy pages from my diary, I've done some scribbles and ishkabibble in there, which is awesome

Uhm... I'm going to go and enjoy my iPod and read Dexter, because I have to be out the door and on the bus by 7 tomorrow morning! I'm at Dad's and it takes like 1hr for me to get to school by bus! But I love the bus, Melbourne buses are AWESOME! Seriously, I thought they'd be like the trains, dirty and uncomfortable, but they're easy to use, clean and COMFY SEATS! Verrrrrrrrrry nice.

Also, I read THE BEST BOOK ! It's called THE NAME OF THE WIND by PATRICK ROTHFUSS IT IS SO EPIC. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE IT. Take a looksee for his blog on Google, a pretty regular guy, I was surprised to discover! Not some hairy yeti in his mother's basement wearing a batman costume! SUCCESS! Honestly, it's THE BEST BOOK I've read in AGES! It ranks up there with Jacqueline Carey! (And Rothfuss sat on a board with her... ENVY)

Musicwise: Uhm... Found my old Eskimo Joe CD (Black Fingernails Red Wine) It's pretty awesome if you like... Coldplay and stuff. Also, Chris Vrenna is epic if you like Electronica and Ambient music, but he also has a few rock-ish stuff with other musicians.

Anyhoo, I'll try and update my journal more often, with little tidbits and stuff about good books, music, food, etc. Dumplings ftw!

This is now my blog
I should probably get to bed... But I have applied for a job! Neat-o and I pretty much have my work experience set! Criminal Psych here I come! I'm probably too squishy for this kind of thing, but I am one curious bastard and I find myself more fascinated with murder than uhm... sympathetic? Sad? I dunno, I just wanna know what's going on in people's heads, I guess I just enjoy manipulation of the psyche. But I get to do work experience with my uncle and I just realised I actually get paid?! For following him around and doing some filing, etc.! SO IT SOUNDS EPIC! I <3 my Uncle, he's awesome He's a Barrister by the way, does Murders, Assaults, etc. Best place to start

Uhm... Yeshu, that went on for AGES. Wait, did I just say a Jewish Person's Name In Vain? Eh, it's better than Glaux I suppose

... And that's out of my system.

2. Age: 15
3. Single or Taken: Single

6. Favorite Band/Artist: Coldplay
7. Dirty or Clean (lolwut.): Clean?

10. What's your philosophy on life? Uh? Live then Die? Well, I believe in reincarnation so... I dunno?

27. If I only had one day to live, what would you do? (changed question): Give EVERYTHING I own to charity and go out, with my life savings and hand out money to homeless people on the street, then I'd make sure all my af...

TWITTER TIME! :D

~Otterbane — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:02:15 PDT

Lol NO.

Anyways, time to update the old journal thing. Everyone liked my photos?

So these guys came to my house today and CHOPPED ALL THE TREES. And there were two possums fleeing for their lives and now I'm really sad. D: They were cute too.

In other news, my stupid fag of an English teacher gave us so much homework. So I'm depressed now because we have homework :/ On the holidays. Yes. It just gets worse.

Good news! I'm going on holiday out to the country from ... Thursday (?) to Tuesday (?) Pfft, I dunno, it's gonna be awesome though. Bushwalking, but no roots and rocks, just sand and a couple of tons of kangaroo and wombat shit. I'll wear my GOOD shoes

And who is stalking me for crying out loud? My pageviews have gone up by like 300 since my last entry! D: Well, I suppose it's a good thing, but now I have to do some kind of kiriban thingo. ... LAter.

Now, if you;ll excuse me for the next month or so, I have an entire chapter of Maths to figure out and then two English assignments... Joy.

Holy Shit?

~Otterbane — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 03:43:48 PDT

That well... I have over 3,000 pageviews! XD And Terence has no frickin idea how I got em. And frankly, neither do I, it must be my epic poetry or something stupid like that XD

I'll do something about it later. But now, please enjoy the shitty quality of my Science Talent Search Project Photos! (Yes, yes I finally did it.)

Finished God of War, it was epic. Good ending, but shitty since you can't do anything afterward.

And I'm writing again. Just a bit. I'm writing an EMO story of my... Stuff and a random story based on a drawing of a sword I just did that looks pretty epic.

P.S: Holy Shit I have a lot of watchers for my measly profile?

Staying in the moment

~Otterbane — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 02:45:14 PDT

NEWS: Just bought God of War on PS2, looks good, i'll play it tomorrow.

Bah. So pissed right now.
BAH.

Look! Up in the Sky! Hah, gotcha.

~Otterbane — Sun, 10 May 2009 03:17:33 PDT

So, it's been... Almost exactly a month since my last rant, and I thought, since I'm so insanely happy right now, I'd do a bit of an update!

Went shopping yesterday, bought three books from my birthday vouchers and money... Did I mention it was my birthday 10 days ago? Oh. I didn't. How rude, you may now shower me with gifts and money.
Found the new Redwall book Which had been OH SO CONVENIENTLY placed so far away from the other Redwall books... And it's in hardcover... Which really... Kinda... Well... It sucks. But I am happy
Also bought Tamora Pierce's book; Bloodhound, second book in the Beka Cooper series, which is really awesome if you're into heroines and cop stories from... Medieval-ish times.
Aaaaaand I got Firestar's Quest from the Warriors' Series Which is like a sidestory from the main series. Just missed out on one book, but anyways.

And last week, I was sick. ALL WEEK. Which was kinda nice, but it sucked because I had Benign Positional Vertigo See, it even has a fancy name! Yeah, so I couldn't walk and couldn't concentrate and basically lived on water and chicken soup all week. And didn't get any schoolwork done, which is why I'm kinda shitting myself now. So all week, I've been shitsick.

And into the present; It's Mother's Day, so let's be slaves for the day It's also my brother's birthday today, and he's turning 13 Which is pretty epic, I had enough money to buy him a present too.

Oh and guess what. I'm actually, ACTUALLY going to submit a deviation by the week's end. Seriously. My science project, I'm doing a photography thing, since there isn't some kind of drawing element. And I'm using plasticine. So I spent about... 1hr 30mins today making this cross section of a human head. And it's pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Looks like a Wallace and Grommit person Seriously, I could do this for a living. It's probably a little off on the anatomy-scale side of things, but I reckon it's pretty awesome. I used a LOT of toothpick heads to stick things together.AH I'M SO PROUD!

Bad news. The house a.k.a MUM. Switched the internet provider over to TELSTRA. Now for those bods who don't live in Australia... There are pretty much two main contenders for your internet; Optus and Telstra.
It's like using a Mac and a PC, one's always preferable and probably better, and by that I mean a PC. Sure, a Mac might be cheaper, which Telstra is, but it's kinda shoddy, costs a lot to install and repair and it's SLOW. Optus is a little higher priced, but it goes FASTER and you're paying for that extra security bonus, which basically means: Unless there's a bushfire in the middle of the city, or a major nationwide blackout, you'll ALWAYS have internet.
So... In short: MY INTERNET IS SLOW, SHITTY AND THIS PAGE TOOK ABOUT 5MINS TO LOAD. No I'll make it shorter: MY INTERNET IS WORSE THAN DIAL UP.

Anyway, the highlight right now, is my newfound independence and the little head crossection I just made No professional tools, unless toothpicks count I'll probably harden it in the oven when I'm done

What else... I was going to do a really big rant and stuff... But I ran out of things to say.

TTFN

Has been a while.

~Otterbane — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 04:37:18 PDT

Weeeeeell children, it's been a while since my last... rant I guess.

What's to say... It's the school holidays, I have five projects on my hands with only a week to finish them all. Which sucks.

I'm drawing a bit and actually, ACTUALLY might have something to scan and show you

Completely miserable, so much work to do, so little time.

No more holidays until... What, June. Then no more till November-ish.

But back to art; messing around with a few drawing styles, when I find one I'm remotely happy with, I'll... do stuff or something.

Bah, I'm just so pissed I can't think of anything to say.

Taggered.

THE MOST POWERFUL ANIMAL IN THE ENTIRE WORLD

~Otterbane — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:08:36 PST

Lions can kill humans, they must be awesome!

WRONG.

Sharks can kill seals AND humans... AT ONCE!

FUCKING WRONG.

What about humans? We kill each other all the time AND lions AND sharks!

WRONG AGAIN YOU IDIOT.

I'll tell you the MOST POWERFUL ANIMAL EVER. IT DESTROYS WORLDS.

It's a COW.

COWS. HUMANS EAT THEM. So what. COWS DON'T EVEN HAVE TO WORK TO KILL PLANETS.

THEY JUST FART.

They're that strong.

Humans work for hundreds of years to kill a planet. Cows just FART.

You know what's cool? You can TAME LIONS, you can WRANGLE SHARKS, you can SHOOT HUMANS. But cows still just sit there, and moo. and fart.

Oh right, COW TIPPING!

I love cowies

~Otterbane — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 16:15:22 PST

Why is everyone running away from meeeeee D':

I come back from Fiji and 70 deviations and 23 messages await me. Way to go guys XD

Srsly, Fiji was AWESOME. Flood reports are bloody bogus, ten days after like 3m+ high waters destroying crops and such, the roads are clear, the houses are being repaired and everything's operating just fine! Not many people came because of the media exaggerations, so we had little Treasure Island mostly to ourselves, which was great! The weather was humid and muggy most of the time, but it rained a little, so that was nice

The people, gosh, don't get me started! They're just so... NICE! You walk down a path and you say 'Bula!' (It's something akin to 'hello' or 'greetings' in English) to everyone you see, if you did that in Australia, they'd lock you up or something.

Snorkelling is just a wonderful thing to do, if you EVER go near the tropics, go snorkelling, fish literally hit you over the head XD And no sharks around Fiji, save little reef sharks and they're just the cutest XD Oh and turtles. Turtles.

... I'm doing everything out of order. But here goes, if you bore easily, run now. Like srsly. :

5hr plane trip to Nadi, Fiji. Left Melbourne at midnight and got there at 5am in the morning or so. Horribly humid in our jeans and such, we had to go through customs (bah.) and then find our tour guide person, who'd take us to the Port to catch our boat. We were just astounded at how friendly people were! After an hour of waiting, we got a coach to the Port of Denerau and after another hour of waiting, we managed to seek the lovely safety of an air conditioned catamaran/cruiser ship It took about 30mins in the boat to get to Treasure Island, a 25acre isle in the middle of a beautiful crystal sea.

Once we got there, some staff came out to meet us, well, to sing us in really. It was so nice! A guide led us into the bar, with everyone we saw along the way saying; "Welcome HOME!" We got a complementary fruit punch (yum.) and a nice wet towel. We were later shown to our bures (rooms.), which were thankfully airconditioned! We (myself, Mum and my brother) were all so tired from the all nighter we just pulled (sleeping on the plane is HELL, I don't recommend it in the slightest) and I was trying to come to terms with the fact that it was only 9am in the morning...

There was a new pool that had just been built, really beautiful, so we swam for a while and had more cocktails And then we went back to our room, where I fell asleep at 3pm and didn't wake up until... 7am the next morning, my new record XD

Okay, now a short rundown of the next few days: We went swimming a LOT, you just can't not. All non-motorized watersports were free, so my brother and I went out kayaking and got sunburned! Horrible. I got it on my shoulders.... D: Absolute HELL. Spent the next day in bed.

Day after that, we went water skiing! Mum hadn't done it for a few decades and the skis weren't the best, so we both sucked at it, but my brother was EPIC. Srsly. First time he'd ever done it, he stood up, and then went one bloody handed. So jealous. The skis punched me D:

We stayed on Treasure Island for 6 days, went to another island for a few hours, where my bro and I went snorkelling, absolutely amazing. Every morning, you could go out on a glass bottomed boat and feed the fish! THat was awesome, they nibbled your fingers if you didn't let go of the bread fast enough XD

On the last day we were there, Mum and Andre went paragliding, I preferred to stay on the ground thank you very much, and we were really sad to be going D:

We had met another family while we were staying there, Aleisha, Spencer and Taylor, they were our buddies for the trip, it would have been lonely without them! We met another couple of people and traded addresses since they were kinda close to us actually.

I forgot to mention, every night at dinner, there was music, dancing and lots of stuff to do, it was really awesome. Every night, a different section of the staff (like maintenance, food, etc.) performed the Bula Dance in welcome to the new guests on the island, really fun. And some more dances from popular culture (Saturday Night Fever eat your heart out.). Everyone who was leaving on the day we left, which was quite a few people, joined in on the last night, we knew most of the steps, it was so fun!

Yeah, then we got...

Postponed

~Otterbane — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 19:35:28 PST

Yah, I'm supposed to be getting sunburnt in Fiji, but the weather is a little bit off right now and we're going on Sunday (or Easter.)... So... Yeah...

Boo.

Hai Guyz

~Otterbane — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 17:28:44 PST

Hai Guys,

I'm going to FIJI!!! How awesome is that? Midnight flight tomorrow So... I won't be harassing your asses for 9 days. (Is totally going to come back to like 90 Deviations.) (And photos. I'll take pHOTOS.)

So yeah... I haven't died. ... Although might make it so XD

So... Yeah...

Oh, and I'm writing a STOREEEEEEEEE It's gonna be SHOOPER Awk-Sume. XD

So have a relaxing 9 days lol! XDDD

Oh, and y'know how I got burgled and all? In like... 5 minutes, I'm going to go and get the Wii + games and DS + games back! XD And then we're gonna lock em up where peoples can never find them. Darned bastards.

Go nuts.

I can't hear myself think!

~Otterbane — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 23:17:32 PST

My brother got an Electric Guitar for Christmas. He gets to play around with it for the next 24hrs and then it gets wrapped up again until Christmas Day.

I can't hear anything. I'm going to soundproof his room as soon as I can get some carpet and fiberglass to hang all over his room. URK.

In other news...
Bought the whole *bar one book* of Erin Hunter's WARRIORS series, numbuh twosies Only $9.99 each... So... I was so glad to find them And now I have no money! GO me!

My drawing talent flew out the window again.

My Mum finished her case on Friday! Finally, she can sleep for more than... 4hrs or less! Won't get the final judgement until February though, which in lawyers terms is actually quite early! Could've taken like 6months!

Maplestory

~Otterbane — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 04:20:18 PST

... I'm sorry. I'm just pissed.

But... Don't you find it kinda STUPID how people make DA accounts and then post Maplestory 'chibis' on here? It's so ARTISTIC, it makes me puke!

Ooh look, I can download this NEAT program!
Watch me make art *click* Look! A body! *click* See? Now I created EYEBALLS.

... Oh please. I've seen this program, my brother had a good time with it before, but, it's a bit mocking isn't it? It's a program, with models from Nexon's Maplestory Game, or possibly the bootleg Odin, no talent required at all, hell you don't really even need FINGERS for it, screw it, you could do the whole thing with your tongue or ELBOW.

And then the brand new Picasso posts a look a like of some celebrity or band member or something stupid, hell, I've even seen a pet cat imitation.

There's a bajillion things of this on DA and around sites, and it's impossible to stop, but doesn't it kinda scream plagarism? Not Art At All?

And that's my bitchy rant for the month. I'll post a more... Mellow journal later tomorrow!

Let the flaming begin.

One in a thousand

~Otterbane — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 02:14:46 PST

Totally got burgled. I walk in, the only one home. Everything is completely ransacked.

Stole the Wii, controllers, games, etc. My one and only digital camera, all my cash in my wallet, jewelry.

Bastards.

Mum's waiting for me to go into shock or something, seeing as I had to deal with the police and all that... Geez man, it's really freaky, I'm all jumpy now...

They took my DS and all my games... ;_; My pokemon Diamond, Nintendogs, Final Fantasy... All goooone...

Just srsly, NEVER LEAVE A WINDOW OPEN. EVEN JUST A CRACK. D: You never think of these things...

I'm so pissed that I lost my money and my DS. With ALL MY GAMES. Including some GBA Games, y'know, just the most important ones...

Urgh, oh well, I am just thankful that they didn't take my compy or anything and that no-one was hurt. My laziness made me not walk home that day. I could have gotten home earlier and... Walked in on someone else in my house. Shit arse man.

Shit. Arse.

An award? What?

~Otterbane — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 21:12:52 PST

My rather anticlimactic reaction to a letter received from school. I have won a bloody award for a ceramics thing I did this year, of which I will post photos as soon as I find batteries for that darned camera.

So yeah... O.o; I feel kinda weird, but... Woo... Awards... ... I hate this kind of thing, if I could just go back to my hole now, that'd be much appreciated Let's hope I don't have to say anything...

But yay! As a kinda plus, I skip school for half a day... For rehearsals, hopefully, I will just be moved around from place to place all day, not doing overly much. But srsly, if I have to say something, I'll fucking pee my pants. Em knows I will XD

Leave Obama Alone Cries

~Otterbane — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 21:23:34 PST

Bah. Everyone is expecting Barack Obama to be assassinated by KKK extremists or racist-fuck-rednecks according to my History Teacher. ... Who cares? Obama isn't 'Black', for God's sake, he isn't a bloody COLOUR. He's a PERSON. And the people of America voted and made him the new President over John McCain.

Sarah Palin is funny to us Australians... Apparently, since she lives in Alaska, she can see Russia from her backyard! WOW! It's like the Bering Strait suddenly became non-existant! WOW! XDDDD Ah well. She supports Polar Bears, so that's one good thing. I bet she probably thinks that someone bleached grizzlies and popped them into the Arctic or something. XD

Also. I found my undies and we have MOAR TEA Like... OVER 9000 bags of the stuff The Eloise is happy now.

I can't find any underwear.

~Otterbane — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:14:05 PST

Just to let you all know.

And.. OH GOD. We're out of Green Tea! How can I get more without pants?!!?

4 Day Weekend, Trials and GUNS.

~Otterbane — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 03:15:37 PDT

Well, I'm having a bloody blast. And I'm not being sarcastic for once! 4 Day weekend, Not too much homework, just got a shopping spree allowance from Mother (gamesgamegamesandbooksbooksbooks) (I'm your BIGGEST kind of nerd, literally and figuratively.) AND, I'm drawing GUNS. Which is actually quite fun.

I thought, well... What's something that's cool, that I can stick to, that I can't draw, and hopefully is popular? Hrm... So I sat browsing crap on the internets, when I saw my favourite Tv Show, Life, and I thought... GUNS. I WANT TO DRAW GUNS.
I can draw a Glock 17 9mm Handgun and some form of obscure revolver which I kinda nicked off Jay Naylor... Sorry mate. But yeah. This is gonna be FUN.

:/ So far. I know about... 3-4 kinds of guns. I wanna freak guys out now. I'm a tomboy, I listen to Nickelback... So... I don't think a girl has approached the idea of guns all that willingly and wanted to freak dudes out with it.

Oh yes... I bought a bandanna from the CanTeen Charity, who help kids with cancer (only 12-24yr olds, very specific aren't they?)... I feel snazzy

Hooray for PMS Now where's that AK-47 Tutorial I just saw... I am so hyper right now.

Woo... Zzz....

~Otterbane — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 01:18:24 PDT

Well. An exhausting half week already, I tell you this, waking up at 6:30am and walking out the door at 7 is NOT good for the psyche.
Rundown of the week, for those who actually care, Mum has her trial on this week, it made the news! How cool is that? Have to check the papers as well. So awesome. So, she's in really early, comes home really late, so yeah... Early mornings, late nights, falling asleep in whatever classes I happen to have. It's almost becoming a routine.

I just noticed the number of pageviews I have, I'm... Well... Astonished really. I think I'll do a little celebratory pic/dance when I hit 2k or something.

Hrm... There's an English project that I have that is totally due on Halloween... I'm halfway through it lol, I'll probably finish it the day before it's due or something stupid like that. I'm a procrastinating bastard like that.

Hayfever and Poetry

~Otterbane — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 01:37:03 PDT

Well. It's spring. And I got hayfever. Woo. Go me. And we have no tablets or anything to get rid of it. Only some meds that knock you dead off your feet. That'd be great, but I have school tomorrow.

In other news; I'm writing more crappy poetry and my teacher wanted to see it... >_> Erm. I dunno if she likes it, I'm wondering if I should be scared of being on the second floor, you know how teachers just BOOM sometimes with happiness or anger? ^_^;; Yeah. Good times.

In other other news: Tex threw a chair out the second storey window at school today. I wasn't there to see it, and neither was the teacher! I wish I'd seen it though. So cool.

Magpie News: Two little magpie babies, they're still chirping after their mamma like little annoying two year olds. I think I've only seen one lately though... And that's BAD. But they're flying now! How cool is that?!?

My Germy Teacher went home sick today. That sucks. D: Hayfever sucks. The Flu sucks. SPRING CAN KISS MY ARSE. >:/

Wow. Someone faved my poetreee!!!! I feel accomplished and PROWD. Now Imma write a bit about Maggie pies as a POEEEEEEEEEM.

GUESS WHO'S BORED?

~Otterbane — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:37:50 PDT

GUESS WHO'S BORED AND TOTALLY HAS SEXY HAYFEVER?

I'll give you a hint. It isn't me! ... Yes it is. D:

Hrm. My day in a nutshell... :

Well. I went to school and had fun with Karshie and Pooey. And then. And then I HAD TO WALK HOME. Which is like 3-4kms and takes about 50-60-70 mins. Good fun. Yeah. IN THE HEAT IT IS MADE OF FAIL. And then I got home. And then Dad came and he took my brother for the weekend and I stayed. And then a rat came into the house. And then I caught it. With a glove. It bit the glove. Then I gave it to the neighbour's backgarden. I bet they're pleased. But I was about to put it in the garden WHEN IT MISSED. AND RAN ONTO THE ROAD. AND THEN A MUMMY MAGPIE CAME TO EAT IT FOR HER TWO little fuzzy chickies! But then I was like EEEW GOD NO and stole the rat. And put it in the garden. And then it crawled away. But I reckon if rats could give the finger, it would have given me the finger.

... And that's about it. Now I shall have some GREEN TEA with HONEY. And then... Then I shall be bored for a couple of hours. Then I shall meditate and spent 2hrs trying to get to sleep...

The Magpie Babies! They are so CUTE! They're fluffy. I don't think they can fly yet and the Mummy Magpie must be going apeshit at them from time to time, because all she does is go and get bugs from the naturestrip. Then comes back. Then goes out again. And then she got a tasty rat stolen from her. ... I'd go apeshit.

My history teacher went apeshit on us today. I wish I had Emmy's Geography/History teacher. He's a hell of a lot better than the one I have. She wore a white shirt once. Then stood in front of the projector to lecture us. Then she couldn't understand why half of us were covering our faces and the guys were rolling around laughing. ... >_> I'll trade you for Mr. Sheep Emmypoo.

I'M BORED. (How do you make ridiculously large font around here?!)

The Last Day Of The Holidays

~Otterbane — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 22:46:31 PDT

Well... It's Sunday the 5th of October. The last day of the school holidays. And tomorrow I have to get up before 9am... And go to school... Suffer a double period of maths, then Science, then HISTORY, then English (Which is good.) and then MUSIC. BLARGH. Music would be good. But yeah. It's all about the teacher. Which is why I don't like History this year either.

But yeah. Today in a nutshell;

I was at my Dad's. He thought it would be fun to RE-ARRANGE STUFF. SO WE THREW A CUPBOARD OUT THE SECOND STOREY WINDOW CUZ IT WOULDN'T FIT DOWN THE STAIRS. IT WAS FUN. THEN WE PUT ANOTHER CUPBOARD THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR. IT WAS HORRIBLE. THE CUPBOARD WAS DAMAGED. IT WAS SAD. BUT DAD WAS HAPPY BECAUSE HE SAID IT WAS A SHITTY CUPBOARD AND HE WAS GLAD IT DIDN'T HIT HIS CAR INSTEAD. WE BROKE THE ROTTEN BALCONY BEFORE HAND. IT WAS FUN. THERE WAS MOULD IN THE WOOD. I BROKE A PIECE IN HALF! Then I ate a roll with chicken in it and... Now I'm waiting for Mum to come and pick me and my brother up. Good times.

ALLCAPS IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

Btw. I hate everything.

That is all.

Something fun.

~Otterbane — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 03:15:39 PDT

Right. Here's your mission angels... I mean... Yeah. Something fun to do! (Just make sure the recipient can't do something nasty back.)

I was talking to my oh so funny cousin on the phone the other day and I was bored and I sighed into the phone, like really loudly and it makes the best noise on the other end. So I pretended to hang up and then while she was yelling my name into the phone, I blew as hard as I could and it was really fun. She tried to do it back but failed because I was holding the phone in the air, due to the ridiculously loud volume it was set to.

So yeah. It was fun. Try it. Hope I don't break all your phones and eardrums.

Curious...

~Otterbane — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 03:49:23 PDT

Dreams. Strange visions of the subconscious. Curious. Curious. Found this site from another DA member...

Crocodile

To see a crocodile in your dream, forewarns of hidden danger. Someone near you is giving you bad advice and is trying to sway you into poor decisions.

Extremely curious, seeing as I am seeing a counselor from time to odd time... Extremely curious...

Oh, if you didn't get it, I had a weird dream about crocodiles, well, there was one in the water. Weird place. It was really weird, but interesting. If anyone knows the dream interpretation for some kind of magnified object (Or to be precise, a storm water drain about the size of three cathedrals.) I'm curious to know.

The shit has hit the fan everybody

~Otterbane — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 23:56:54 PDT

The shit has hit the fan.

That is all.

Grow the f*ck up.

~Otterbane — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 23:28:21 PDT

Okay, at 5:35pm AEST, in Sweeden, scientists are turning on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It has a 2% chance of creating a black hole large enough to swallow the earth. That 2% can be downgraded to like .5% because to create a black hole large enough to swallow the Earth, it'd need ALL THE MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE.

Everyone at school is going 'HAPPY DOOMSDAY, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE." People started CRYING. Because they thought the world was going to end. COME ON.

"6:30 tonight it is switched on.Â Creating a black hole with two protons is like trying to create a planet from a sand pit. For the black hole to occur, it'd need all the mass that is in the solar system
However numerous studies have verified the experiments will be safe, and tonight's experiment does not involve particle collisions. Tonight's just the turning on of the machine, the first (particle) collisions shouldn't happen for six to eight weeks," he said."

There. Are you happy now you little freaks?

Personally, I wish it would happen. I am a fatalist and I'm hating tomorrow. But you don't need to burst into tears every time someone says DOOMSDAY.

EDIT: Note how the times are different? Yeah.

FFXII

~Otterbane — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 02:43:43 PDT

I bought Final Fantasy XII today for my DS and I'm pleased to say it has exceeded my poor expectations of it! Currently up to Chapter 2, I'm actually having quite a blast with it, the Espers are great fun to battle with as well! (Must unlock Shemhazai!)

In my Art news, I'm currently working on my dragon drawing skills and a character to boot! Maybe, if I get a REALLY good pose and stuff I might put something up!

Thursday

~Otterbane — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 04:48:10 PDT

Well, basically, all this year, I've loved Thursdays. This semester I have Ceramics, which makes it nice and pleasant and such. Nice day, just relaxing.

Yeah. Well, this Thursday it's 9/11. Nothing good came out of that day, hundreds of people died, and on that day people finally found their eyes opened by terrorism. And on this Thursday, I have a really bad event happening in my life. It really sucks and I'm scared I'm going to crack it, which I know I will. I pride myself on control of my emotions, I really do.

Five days. Five Days. Dammit this sucks. The best cure for this is just getting really busy so I don't have free time to dwell on this shit. So I propose staying up until midnight doing homework now and just walking all over the suburb tomorrow. Sounds good enough to me.

Dammit this sucks.

Dreams

~Otterbane — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:40:07 PDT

Every once in a while, you have one of those REALLY realistic dreams... You know, where you wake up and for the next day you're looking over your shoulder? When you start looking for scars or stiches because you could have SWORN that someone had stabbed you?

Yeah, I had another one of those and it was just so SURREAL that I have to tell someone, even if no-one reads this, it's just so weird...

Well, I can say now, I know what it's like to have a physical knife go right into my heart... Dammit, I woke up and it was so weird... I honestly checked for a scar... Yeah, now I feel stupid, but it was that weird. I'm probably going to do a mini-fic on it, just so I don't forget, but I like the sound of my heartbeat a lot more now.

And I feel SHITTY, because I have a fucking cold and it won't go away and I was in bed ALL DAY in a HAZE... Bah. *choo*

Monday

~Otterbane — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 23:17:32 PDT

Well, tomorrow, my Dad is coming home. Good fun, I pretty much get the day off as well

Oh, tomorrow is also Cune's Birthday! Everyone give her a good Bday Spamming, because she ain't havin no party or nothin. >>

So yeah, Happy Birthday you little Deviant!

MONDY MONDY MONDY MONDY MONDY!!!

~Otterbane — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:51:44 PDT

On Monday... My Dad, he's coming hoomeeee! Early! He was going to come back on the 29th, and then the Chinese Government went KUNG FU ON HIS ARSE and kicked him out! I swear, they're kicking out all the tourists just to make room for the games. Bastards >_> But it's a good thing!

... Good and fucking complicated.

ANyhoo, I kinda get the day off, or most of it anyway! Great fun! We're rushing off to the airport at 1 and I'm going to battle to change from my school uniform into jeans and something nice in the car! Best challenge ever. Yeah, I don't want to miss Maths, oh shut up, I'll fall behind. No I'm not a nerd Em.

*dances around*

Oh, and it's Shinear's Birthday on MONDAY! WOO! She's not having a partii tho... >_> But I'm getting her something fuzzy anyway.

Avvie!

~Otterbane — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:59:12 PDT

I made myself an Avatar! Finally! *PHEW!*

It's a concept that I did, there are two other shots of it... >_> I think it'd be good as an album cover, but that's just me.

So... How's everyone a'doin? I've been flooding with Deviations because I'm bored... But... Not many from everyone else... Where IS everyone?!

The New Line of Art

~Otterbane — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:29:04 PDT

I call it "Bored and Effect."

>_> Something's wrong in my mind. Anyone have a spanner?

Yeah, random new, shitty art on stage, best served with Fries, Croutons and a side of Bite Me. >_>

Err, it's not original and it's all done on photoshop with the help of handy effects and airbrush tools.

... Yeah... As I said, REEEEEEAAAAALLY Bored.

"LOOK MA! Ah'M ART-EEST-ECK!"

Wow, V6

~Otterbane — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:56:30 PDT

Wow. Just. Wow. I'm so lost now... *weeps* I'll find my way around... God I hate change.

So... What does everyone think? I think I'll get used to it, looks cool. Kinda.

I watched The Ring and When A Stranger Calls yesterday and today. Scared the shit outta me. Really. I never scream in scary movies, but When a Stranger Calls made me squeal-scream a bit. The Ring wasn't that scary, it was quite interesting. I read the plot for The Ring 2, as I'm too scared to watch it.

When A Stranger Calls is a bit of a rip off of the older version of it, 1970's version. Yeah... Not much plot to go with it, the 'Stranger' remains unnamed and it's a really crappy ending. But that's my opinion.

What would be your theme song?

~Otterbane — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 03:39:08 PDT

Haha, this is what Georgie asked me and Em last night, if your life was made into a movie, what would the theme song be?

I guessed mine as: Twisted by Brian McFadden, but once I got home, I think it could be The Scientist by Coldplay as well.

Eh.

ARGH! What is with the Mood thing?!?! It's glitched! Argh! I AM NOT TRIUMPHANT!

Homophobia

~Otterbane — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:11:03 PDT

I found this in nocturnalMoTH's Journal. It's really nice.

Please, repost this in support of your friends and loved ones who are. Love is not defined by color, creed, sexual preference, or gender. Feel free to add your own story:

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the one working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn't have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am a warrior for my country serving proud, but can't be my true self because gays aren't allowed in the military.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the who isn't sure what she is. I am the who is rejected by her "best friends" because of a less-than-conventional crush.

I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson."

This is the boy, Matthew Shepard. On October 7, 1998 Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson lead him to a remote area east of Laramie where they demonstrated unimaginable acts of brutality . Matthew was tied to a split-rail fence where he was beaten and left to die in the cold of the night. Almost 18 hours later he was found by a cyclist who initially mistook him for a scarecrow. Matthew died on October 12 at 12:53 am at a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. MURDERED BECAUSE HE WAS GAY!!!

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT HOMOPHOBIA IS WRONG... REPOST THIS
AS "HOMOPHOBIA."

IF YOU ARE IGNORANT... IGNORE.

I don't get it, why are homosexual people considered 'disgusting' and 'sinners'? They're in love. That's all that matters. It's what most religions teach. Sure, they have a different sexual preference. Everyone has different preferences. It's like someone going on a mass crusade because someone preferred White Chocolate.

The real 'disgusting' people are those who deny two people true love. If you want to argue this case. There is no argument. Two people are in love. Sure, they're the same sex. Who cares? They love each other and want to be together. Does it matter?

... I need a hobby...

~Otterbane — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 04:35:04 PDT

... I'm bored.

Going over to a friend's place on Saturday for a sleepover. Other than that, I'd draw, but I don't have any fineliners on me... I did a pin-up of one of my characters, but outlining in pen just lost it's usefulness.

That's one thing I can buy. If they're cheap (Or expensive for that matter) I'll take 50. Now.

So, I'll go and buy some fineliners sometime this week, try not to spend too much of my dwindling finances and ... Find something to do. Expect some artwork. I mean it this time. I WILL put something up this week!!!

But the colouring will be absolute crap (As usual) because the scanner just HATES my Prismacolour pencils with a vengeance that turns them into crayon-like blotchy bits on the computer. Joy.

But yeah. ... I'll put some effort into it and buy a stack of fineliners and then I'll scan some old stuff that's been hanging around, heck, maybe I'll even get to that art trade that I should have done for Cune! ... But I'll try not to get ahead of myself, or I'll end up tripping on my leavings. No. Not droppings. The remainders of ideas left along the track.

And now a tidbit;

"Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is say your name?"

End of Term!

~Otterbane — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:51:44 PDT

Whoop! The holidays begin! Bar the fact that I just missed the last 3 days of term due to my sickness, which is really draining. Being in bed all day isn't as crash hot as you think it is.

Anyways, happy mid term holidays everyone in Australia!

... The emote thing won't load and I'm stuck with 'Triumph' as my Mood. Joy... >_>

I just watched Howl's Moving Castle, twice. It's a great movie! I highly recommend you watch it! Despite the English/British accents into a Japanese anime film. A little disconcerting, but it's still great! If you like those kinds of flims, I recommened SPIRITED AWAY as well! Anything from Studio Ghibli is great! I want to go and find My Neighbour Totoro and The Cat's Return... They look good. And something recent...

Anyways, I'll try and get back into the whole Journal Writing thing again, it's a good outlet, despite the whole world being able to read it, but then again, I have nothing to hide.

And now I think I'll go and sit in bed and draw for a while. Blargh.

Later Peeps,

~Eloweasel Otterbane

Lovin' It.

~Otterbane — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 03:42:18 PDT

Cruising through life right now, nothing is going wrong, a few personal issues, but life is kinda good right now! School ends at the end of this week (YESS!) and then we have a two week holidays!

My friend's birthday is on the 11th of July, Luv Ya Georgia! I'll put up an awesome Journal Entry for that day! (Flood her Myspace.)

Been so long since I have written a journal entry, many odd dreams since then as well, which I shall not go into, yes, I am the Queen of Suspense.

... I need to put up more art... If I get the chance, I'll go and raid the tablet from my Dad's Unit and... Grab his/my radio as well... It's awesome. I have a bunch of CD's over there as well... Damn, I miss him, only have to wait until the end of August though! It's either the 15th or the 29th!!! That's set! Can't wait to hear all of his stories, as you know if you've read some previous entries, he's teaching at Qingdao University in Qingdao, China!

I have some sketchy drawings I'm THINKING of putting up... But knowing me, I probably won't, I'm just that lazy.

Urgh, I'm seriously dead on my feet though, I can see why colds are essential to life, it tells you when you need a break, I've been working hard to keep healthy and whatnot, so... I'm dead on my feet, I'd say Dead Man Walking, but I really can't be bothered walking or moving.

Anyways, If you actually read till the end, congratulate yourself, you're a legend. It's 8:40pm here in Australia peoples and I'll haul up my ridiculously tired body to go and flop on the couch and watch All Saints until 9:30 and then I'll get some sleep. Then drag myself up to go to school again... ... 3 More Days... Gods Forbid we get homework on the Holidays...

Hope for art!

Launch of Comic!

~Otterbane — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 03:27:22 PDT

*Victory Music*

Today. I present the launch of my comic; A Life Without Darkness!

How awesome is this. Not very really... I gave it so much hype, it looks so damn plain... Eh, I just hope to improve my drawing style and learn a few tips and tricks. Whatnot. What, what.

I'll TRY to put my pages up slowly, but I'm just so excited! Can someone tell me how to make those categories in my gallery? eg. Comic, Scraps, etc.

^_^ Happy, happy, happy, happy.

My dinosaur (Photoeditor) Got working too, so yeah. Oh, I did that a few days ago, but here's the real story why the comic has been stalled;

I live in Melbourne, Victoria. In Australia. (G'Day mate. My arse.) There was a horrid storm on Wednesday. Killed off the internet and the power for half the state, winds at 100kmph really don't do good things for those skinny trees that fall on those AWFULLY fragile power cables.
So, a whole road was closed off near my house and I took a little look-see and these guys were using a Cherry Picker (Those boxes on cranes y'know?) to repair the cables. So... Our phone was down and so was the internet. And we don't have working heating anyways, we were just glad the power wasn't out. Yeah. So it just came back on when the phone rang. Acutally took me a few minutes to guess the internet might be back up anyway. How smart am I?

So... All comics will most likely go up here before on SmackJeeves. Because SmackJeeves doesn't like my damn pictures. *growls* Might try ComicGenesis, or even Synthasite if it gets TOO bad.

So yeah... Happy me.
