But alas! I am here.
Ooo... That just reminded me of a poem. :XD:

Mais helas! Ce ne qu'un reve.
Ma voisine aime un lourdaud,
Et c'est le vent qui souleve
Le coin de son rideau.

Anyway! I'm 13 now! Ain't I old? :(
But I got a Wii for my birthday!
Yay!

Mmm~ I felt the sudden need to update my journal, and I guess I kinda needed it since my last entry was in June and lots of things have happened since then. :XD: Yeah, duh.

Our school's on summer holidays now and stuff, so I'm really really bored nowadays, so bored that I've been reduced to playing Scrabble with myself (yes, I have been telling this to everyone) and having five-hour-fifteen-minute phone conversations with my friends (hey, Aaron called me, okay).

My Photoshop CS doesn't work again so I have to use Photoshop Elements 4, which is still pretty good if you ask me, but there's no Pen tool. blah. Expect crappola lineart, because I'm not used to doing lineart with pencil (well, I have a fineliner, but I can't be bothered! And plus, fineliners can't do uneven lines very well).[

So yeah!

Well, I'm twelve now, huzzah.
(Not really, that was sarcasm x_x)
Eh, I feel old. D|

Boifday presents so far;
Converse sneakers, Emily Strange hoodie, Emily Strange shirt, brown stripy skull shirt, more clothes =O (can't be bothered listing them all =P)

Tagged by

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....

1. I'm hungry... :[
2. I bite my nails when I'm nervous x_x;
3. I have a reallyreally messy table... dahrhar xD
4. I like tea, because I'm cool like that.
5. I often feel like writing journal entries/blog entries but don't feel like taking the time to type all of it out. x3
6. I LOVE MAH STRIPED STOCKINGS.

..kaythat's it, fahnallyh.

I tagguh:


and fififinally:


tehe, i :heart: myself.

I needa talk about something else. er... my Photoshop serial number is invalid/expired apparently, I'm gonna try reinstalling laters but meanwhile, can anyone recommend a good free drawing program apart from oekaki, paint, opencanvas trial and CorelPainter trial?

How do you guys get such purty styles and stick with them?? HOW??!! I CAN NEVR STICK WITH ONE STYLE. X___X I mean, I think I've changed styles more than five (yup, that's true) since I came to devART. I am NEVER HAPPY WITH MY STYLES. I am a Gemini--I get bored with things real easily, but I NEED a style I like to stick to! DX

So far I only like my Mei Xiang, Mia Zhou, Hapy B-day Grethe "Photoshop lineart, cell shading" style out of all my styles but even then I have this urge to colour like =kawaiiyume or *ConeMonster but I know I don't have the potential to. Photoshop just doesn't blend as well as Painter, as well. :(

Guys, HELP! TT^TT
Discuss which style I should stick to and HOW I should stick to it TT_____TT

]]> ~Retno Hi there! http://Retno.deviantart.com/journal/7732821/ http://Retno.deviantart.com/journal/7732821/ Sat, 28 Jan 2006 14:40:57 PST

Hi! I got a trial subscription so yeeha. It reminded me to get a new sub! Mum said yes to a 1-year one so I'm getting it later today. So yes. That's it, I think.

Ta-ta!


]]> ~Retno Yo. Hi. http://Retno.deviantart.com/journal/7663270/ http://Retno.deviantart.com/journal/7663270/ Sat, 21 Jan 2006 03:10:02 PST Retti's Stupidly, Freakishly, Rarely-Updated Journal

+___________ // rant, yo.

I figured I don't update my freakishly weird journal enough, go me. Anyways, thought I'd take the time to post my art progress and such, since my art is so unbelievably cool and interesting (that was sarcasm, by the way, USAians that don't get sarcasm/irony. XD).

Melbourne's been experiencing some sort of heatwave-type thing, 'cause I'm all hot and sweaty and sticky and stuck in a huge t-shirt with Elmo on it as pyjamas. Plus, Dad's off trying to fix the air conditioner.

This is so extreme weather.
Now I really do wish it was winter.

Anyways, I shall rant. About stuff. >O
Like... like... like my site, for example.

I need to update it more often.
WHICH GIVES ME AN IDEA.
I shall update it... now!

Whoo. I'm so smart. XD

+___________ // art progress; 'cause we all know my art is cool.

Original art ;

Death Mistress; about 1.5/5 completed x_x \\ lineart stage
Crabpeople like muffins too; about 0.5/5 completed \\ sketch-cleaning stage

Fanart ;

None pending. (I don't draw fanart that much anyway.)

Gifts/Trades/Collabs ;

Birthday Gift for Grethe; about 0.5/5 completed TnT \\ sketch-cleaning stage


+___________ // random stuff and a goodbye.

No random stuff, haha.
'k.

Three Deviants I watch
