The main thing that has changed, is that I have the full support of my girlfriend, ~Freakeh. In the four months since we first got together a lot has changed about me. I'm more outgoing, and have tried new things when it comes to art. I'm still very much in love with her, and that won't change.

I even got my internship for uni through her. Starting in September I'll be invading her house for 6 months to work in a big community arts centre, where I can do everything and anything from lighting and sound at preformances, to helping in the gallery, to maintaining the site and creating leaflets. For me, the best thing is being with her there, obviously, but the fact that I have the position of my dreams is awesome.

You also may have noticed I've uploaded some pictures made with illustrator. I've begun working with it for a school project a few weeks back, and I've been playing with it, and discovering new things ever since. With a little luck I will get good at using it sometime in the future. Would be handy, since ~Freakeh and me have been working on our own (web?)comic together. We should get around to uploading the pages we have, sometime in the future. Is the first comic I've worked on, and so far it's been a lot of fun. I hope once I show it to the public, you guys will like it too. <3

It will probably be a while till my next entry here, so sorry in advance for this info being out of date. Right now I have more pressing matters to attend to, like referencing inside jokes and planning to make an oreo-cake.

College has been a real pain in the ass. From my team not working together, to the "help" we should get from teachers. All of it was so damn annoying that it consumed almost all of my time, and the rest of my time was spent relaxing with a wide range of games.
The project is coming to a close, at-freaking-last, so I will be on here more often, and pick up all of my favorite passtimes again.

All excuses and yapping aside, I'll hold a new feature soon. YOU, the reader of my journal has a chance to suggest who or what you want to see.

Start yer suggesters!

Bright, happy and colorfull were the keywords I gave you, and I got some very diverse deviations. Picking the best ones was hard, but luckily *Picksy was there to help.

I've been very busy at college the last week, and it'll only get worse for the next 18 weeks. I'm at a part of my major which they call 'NewB' and it's basicly a real life project, with an actual client, only I don't get payed for it. xD
Due to crappy stuff at the registering for a task me and some friends got stuck with the one nobody wanted. The cool ones went to our rivals, so to say. Now it's our job to follow other groups in their project and make a documentary about it. As half of the creative team in our group, I'll force a high speed photo slideshow in. What better way to combine business with pleasure.

Also I've bought a Tamron 70-300 F/4-5.6 a few days back. for only €140. I'm not an expert, but I'd say that's pretty cheap for a brand new lens. With it I can finally take some decent shots of the fields around my house and of the skyline back in good old Rotterdam. I'll probably revisit some more shots I did some time ago, like I did with [link]

Besides all that stuff, I've incresingly felt the need to leave Holland. I don't watch the news much lately but whenever I do there's some story that makes me lose all faith I ever had in politics or society. It often makes me want to move to another country. That wouldn't solve anything since these are the same issues that exist anywhere, but still. I've always been fond of the UK. If I'd know what I was good at and what I wanted to do, I'd try to find an internship position somewhere overseas.

Gawd, enough posting now. I should stop making these. Next journal will be a feature. Not sure of who or what, but keep watching this space.

I did cheat though, since I have too much music, and waaay too many songs, and waaay too much of them are "unknown artist - track 04" like things in my playlist. Also, I skipped most of the game soundtracks, audio books, songs that my dad downloaded and I'm stuck with, cabaret salbums, and Dutch songs since most people wouldnt understand em.
Anywho, ta-dah?

Rules:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie. (psssh. I'm only human. )
7. Comment on how appropriate you feel it is.


1. Opening Credits: White Stripes - I think I smell a rat (Eeh. Thanks. Would be a nice intro though.)

2. Waking Up: 2 Many DJs - Don't look any further (soulfull, but doesn't have anything to do with my life in general)

3. First Day At School: Royal Crown Revue - Daydreamin' (Would make a good theme, but again, not my life.)

4. Falling In Love: Gorillaz - Left hand suzuki method ( >____> )

5. Fight Song: Apolla 440 - I need something stronger (xD good title. Don't feel much for the lyrics or the rest of the song though)

6. Breaking Up: The Doors - People are strange (One of my favorite songs. It's in the list about 7 times, so... Fitting song though.

7. Prom: Martin Solveig - Rejection (never had a prom, so I'll never know if the rejection is true or not. )

8. Life: Das Pop - Diffrent Beat (I guess... Does that mean I'll become a music producer or something?)

9. Mental Breakdown: Jem - They (If this song is ever used for a mental breakdown in a movie about MY life, someone's gonna get shot. D: )

10. Driving Far Away: Johnny Cash - Cry Cry Cry (Bad driving music. At least for the way I'd like to see this part of my life.)

11. Flashback: The Chalets - No Style ( xDDD I lol'd. And still am. It's true. I have no sense of style whatsoever.

12. Wedding: dEUS - Hotellounge (one of my other favorite songs, but unfitting lyrics for a wedding)

13. Birth of Child: The Prodigy - Wake up call (Sounds sinister to have this playing then. )

14. Final Battle: The Sheer - My window (not nearly hard enough. If I had my pick in a movie, it would be Mauro & the Grooms or the Mars Volta)

15. Death Scene: Snow Patrol - Days without paracetamol (so I die in pain? Yay. )

16. Funeral Song: DJ Tomcraft - Overdose extended mix (Creepy. I hate drugs. )

17. End Credit: Gorillaz - Tomorrow comes today (would make a good end theme. Me like-y.


Bleh. I'm dissapointed about the lack of Guns n Roses, Sioen, Jummy Hendrix, Air, Fischerspooner or Beck. Without those it's not a movie about me.

But anyway. How are things. Things are well. I'm very close to passing the first year of college with flying colors. All exams were passed, and all that's left is some site building in dreamweaver, some flyer creating, and some report writing. In other words, the easy bits. And they always say the first year is the hardest.

Besides that, I sent an email to the editors of the local tv station, offering to make their site and 'tv show' (which is actually just radio and a powerpoint presentation) look good. It's not bad at the moment, but they could really use some help. For instance, I saw they had a new year's picture on there with a big, ugly watermark.

Also, I've been doing a lot of modeling in Maya. I made a little stage the other day that made me go "Ooh actually that's pretty good. Did -I- make that?" It was a stage with speakers, lights, stairs, and the rigging that held the lights and things. I might be doing more 3d work, and I might even upload some in the future.

I guess this could be like a new years resolution thingy, but just like everyone else on the planet, I never live up to those.

Aaaalso, after doing some selective deleting in the deviations part, I have 19 left. I deleted all the poetry, prose, people that I somewhat lost intrest in, and I am busy viewing and -mostly- commenting. Though I hardly have stuff to say on most, and it's best to keep yer yap shut if ya don't have something usefull to say.

Also, I'm being screwed on the first miniscule task I have to do in school. What was I thinking when I picked the person I'm working with. He had 2 days to make up a random person to write a letter to. I already did the hard part of writing it. He just had to put the adress and stuff at the top and bottom. Did he do anything? As far as I know, he didn't. Now I probably have to get up extra early to figure out what goes where.

*is considering finding a new partner to do the next 7 weeks worth of tasks with after week 1* ~___~
Oh and it wont be long till I get working copy of paint shop pro again, so keep yer' panties on. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/9891540/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/9891540/ Tue, 29 Aug 2006 01:46:47 PDT

Taking driving lessons now. I'm not too bad at it, allthough I'm always speeding. All those years of playing need for speed messed with my head and made me want to go fast. 50 km/h just isn't doing it for me.

I took a whole lot of photos, but none that are worth showing anyone. Flower photos, and random snapshots of things. I'll get arty-farty when I feel like it, but not now.

I will work as volunteer at this year's City Race in Rotterdam. I'll be handing out earplugs and other things all day. This sounds boring, BUT when the races are over, I can go into the paddock, and look around, and look at all the cars up close. Yes, I will somehow bring my camera with me in there. Normally people have to pay 200 euro to get a VIP pass to get in there. Fun fun.

And eeh... Ooh. I have kicked my energy drink addiction. o.o; And I found a bunch of cash in an old book, so I'll either buy a fisheye lens or a better battery soon. Or maybe both! Or maybe not. Either way, it should be fun. I have an idea for an awesome shot, but I can't think of how I should do it exactly. It looks great in my head, so you'll see how it turns out.


Aaaaand I wrote a whole lot, even though I didn't want to. Go me.

Well, thanks to anyone that took the time to read my rambling. There will not be a refund for the time you just wasted. o.o;; ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/9338098/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/9338098/ Mon, 10 Jul 2006 23:26:51 PDT
It feels just like 17 did. Or any year before that for that matter, but who cares. THe world claims that I'm an adult now, and that means I get to do cool stuff, so I'm not complaining.

First driving lesson will be around 7 pm today. I wonder howmany people I will run over. >.>

Anyway, back to decorating the house now. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/9228442/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/9228442/ Fri, 30 Jun 2006 05:23:39 PDT

The fun part is stillto come though. All the photos I've ever made were on there, without a backup. Same for music, movies, schoolwork, you name it.

I posted a thread on the dA forums, so I hope someone can help me.


I guess I should start downloading Ragnarok Online and some other things now. I have little hope seeing as I've tried nigh on everything I know.

Also, my birthday is coming up. Just one more month to go till I get to drive and stuff. Buy me a subscription! xD
Only joking. Buy me a new computer with a proper keyboard instead. This thing sucks, and there are no ports to plug in a normal one.

Anything better than that is purely a bonus.

Hoe dan ook. Nog mensen die naar pinkpop gaan en die toevallig mn journal lezen?

Sorry, dutch thing. Bleh. So much stuff to take care of. Not to mention school sucking due to the annoying and pointless tasks they make us do. But who gives a damn. I'll have 3 days of fun soon. Oh, and a trip to the police station for questioning seeing as I'm the prime suspect in 'holland inferno 06' soon.

But who cares.

I've been thinking about taking on a sort of theme in my crappy pictures. Graffiti. There's plenty of it around, and sometimes the stuff 'written' is pretty interesting. Then again, I'm boring. The idea sucks. But I still want to press the 'add' button for this journal.

And who's gonna stop me. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/8464880/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/8464880/ Fri, 14 Apr 2006 01:09:32 PDT ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/8362248/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/8362248/ Tue, 04 Apr 2006 09:43:29 PDT Oh, and I can't take pictures of her either, which is even more annoying since I haven't had a single idea/taken a single decent snapshot in weeks. I really want to see if I'm any good at taking pictures with people, and she's not only nice and like photography, she's really pretty.

On another note, it's 3 months and 7 days till my birthday. As in, it's 3 months and 7 days till I get a new camera. Sadly, both Pinkpop and Lowlands replied to my emails. I asked about what cameras were alowed to have on the festival grounds, and both claimed that 'professional' cameras aren't alowed. No cameras with detatchable lenzes, basicly. That instantly rules out my going to either this year. Maybe next year I can look more into getting a press pass. Though I'd have to be with an organization, and that means I'll have to take pictures all the time and not have time to enjoy the place. I don't want to risk smuggeling it in and getting my camera or memmory cards taken away.

Ooh, I'll have to put a picture of myself in scraps in a day or two. I got my hair cut, and it's like totally short, dude. It's so unlike me.

And now for not-important stuff. Like exams. x___x Studying is hard, and I'm not the only one to say that. All 7 people I talked to say the same. No time to do so, and we keep getting distracted. Plus if we would have to learn from the actual books we have we would be reading non-stop for 5 days just to get through everything once. For only 2 exams. Oh, and we have to make a little evaluation of the last 2 months. Of which the points and guidelines alone are 7 pages long. Due on the same day of the exams. This friday.

Oh well, again, seeing as nobody will read through this, I'll stop now.
En als er mensen zijn in de buurt van R'dam die zin hebben om is ergens wat te gaan drinken ofzo, laat wat van je horen.

On the upside, in a week or two I'll get to do my first actual photoshoot with someone. And a really hot someone at that. We haven't decided where to do it yet, but it might be at the beach if the weather is good at the time, but it might just be at either of our houses/wherever.

*zwaait naar klasgenoten die dit toevallig lezen* Wassup, guys?

Anywho, time to work work work. Good thing fake red-bull drinks were on sale last week. I'll need a ton.

In a strange way, I love this kind of stuff. I work best under severe pressure, and the friggin annoying jobs don't annoy me like they would normally.


Oooh. If anyone has any ideas/tips for how to act/aproach the shoot, please please please let me know. I'd love to hear any pointers you can give me, since I know nothing about how to do this sort of thing just yet.

Hmm.... Designing entrance tickets now. <3 ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/8213118/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/8213118/ Mon, 20 Mar 2006 03:13:31 PST
I got the idea from school, since a teacher told me that all the photos around the building are of teachers, and some of their favorite passtimes, hobbies, that sort of stuff. And how cool would it be to actually have everyone's photo made into something like a yearbook.


Something diffrent now. I can't stand that there isn't a bar, club, pub, cafe, or anything in Poortugaal OR Rhoon. If I want to have a drink somewhere I have to go to Rotterdam, which isn't convenient at all.

Oh well. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/8167336/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/8167336/ Wed, 15 Mar 2006 10:19:51 PST I dont know what I'm yay-ing about, but oh well. Yay. To be honest I'm not completely sober while typing this, but it's not like many people read this anyway.

I'll probably do a semi-proper photoshoot with one of my classmate friends soon, which is just one more step towards my goal of not sucking at everything I do. Then again the store I tried to get a job at turned me down, which they did by sending a rather polite letter.
Katja, from my class, also likes alot of the same things as me, by the way. And having someone to talk about 'good' movies to is always nice, no?

Anywho, since nobody is going to read this far anyway, I might as well stop and go try to teach myself how to use Maya 7.0 again. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/8090688/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/8090688/ Tue, 07 Mar 2006 06:08:29 PST And who am I to complain?

Now for something cool. I've aplied for a job at a semi-local photography/video shop. With a little luck, they'll hire me for fridays and saturdays. Not only is that just sweet, but the 10 to 15% employee discount on everything would make up for anything.

That's just awesome, right?

If I don't get some sort of paper thingy to them before tuesday (ie monday), I will be kicked from college untill september, when I will be forced to start a new year completely.

The best bit is still to come, though.

I have to get a piece of paper, in what is effectively one workday. From the IB-Group.
The IBG is a special organisation that suplies students with college funding. I canceled this since the third of january, and it took them 3 weeks to even notice they payed me a month too many for godssake.

And now motherloving InHolland is execting the 30 people in my class to get a paper from them in roughly one workday.

Aaanywho, personal grief aside, I found a few awesome broken down buildings. Empty. Broken windows and roof. Partially burnt. Probably built on a toxic waste dump AND an ancient indian cemetery.
I made that last bit up, but they're awesome. I will go back to take photos tomorrow, and probably a few more times this week.

Also, I feel very special. I recieved a note from someone, explaining how Freedom (see thumb (w00t. Self advertising)) was a big inspiration to them.

I don't know if other people have had this happen to them, but to me it's the first time that one of my pictures (or anything, in fact) has had such a big effect on someone I have never met or had a decent conversation with.

I just... Wow.

And oh ew. My free sub has almost ended. And I have to wait 6 more months till I can get a credit card of my own to pay for a sub. I'll miss you, 120 big thumbs per browse/gallery page.

I used to be pretty good at html, but most of it is long forgotten. I worked off a cheesy template, and made it purdy-er. It;s by no means great or anything, and I'll spare the few people that actually read this the link. Once I've regained some knowledge and it looks prettier, I probably will show though.

College is cool. I've never had any sort of class involving marketing, comminucation, or management. If the few hours I've had this week are any indication how the rest will be, I totally love it. The girls are nice, the dudes are cool, my sis is.. well... my sis, and even the teachers are way more layed back than I've seen before.
It does involve alot of presentations, which I totally suck at, but I will get better at them by taking them head on.

Blabla, happy happy bullcrap aside, I like it. For now.

W00t. Dutch Devmeet to be held soon. Not that that has any relevance at all, though.

Strangely enough, I like college. The class is great, which I never expected to think. Well, I am in the same class as my sister, and I am the youngest of everyone, but the people are really nice and funny.
Sadly, college takes up alot of my time. And RO/msn takes up most of the rest. Therefore I haven't been able to take any non sucking photos. I do have ideas, only they suck too.

And while I'm typing this, I'm burning my mouth on the spiciest potato chips you ever tasted. x___x
I'll go get some water to cool my mouth.

So go and look at these people, just for shits and thrills.


Expect a music and deviant themed journal in a while. Comment and you might be in it. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7714394/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7714394/ Thu, 26 Jan 2006 14:27:57 PST Media and Entertainment Management Producing music or movies and tv, managing bands, organising events all over the world. It sounds awesome, though I'm having doubt before it even starts. I always have doubts. About everything. I suppose I'm afraid of changes, and I have been as far back as I can remember.

I however do think that I'll have a good time there, since I can probably use my crappy paintshop pro skills for projects, and -hopefully- have to do cover shoots. As in people posing. I haven't done that before, and I'd love to try it out. Nothing is certain though, but if a man can't hope for certain things, he wouldn't get anywhere in life.

Yeah. All my desks are a mess, and I should be in bed by now since I am tired, and my parents are annoying asses when it comes to me sitting at the computer at night.

No linking people just now. Maybe tomorrow. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7683907/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7683907/ Mon, 23 Jan 2006 10:11:41 PST So little to do, and so much time to do it. That should be the other way around, since I'm way more productive under stress. Inspiration is the same. Ideas hit me randomly. When I am busy with things, I grow to hate being busy so much that my mind becomes more creative, and I get way more, or better ideas.
Not that I have anything to show for that. It's been almost a year since I really was under stress from working too hard. Furthermore, at the time I wasn't into taking pictures as I am now. It's a shame.



On another note, did an audio webcast, featuring one of my pictures in his journal
He gives very constructive critique, and if photography is your thing, you should pay him a visit, and just listen to the stuff he said. Learn from my mistakes. x3


Sooo... What else...
Oh yeah. A number of people that deserve a mention.
First, and most of all, , for being awesome in just about any aspect, is super too. Other friends are lazy and don't submit things, but when they do, I'll post them here.

Then on to good artists that are worth a look. Not that I expect many people to actually look, but I just want to make this more of a journal, rather than a daily babble about nothing.
~Hikoneki - Makes purdy paintings. ~dark-chocolate - Takes cool pictures. And so does *NezumiWorks.

That's about it. I hope I didn't waste too much of your time by letting you read this. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7645327/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7645327/ Thu, 19 Jan 2006 04:47:49 PST
And god. The weather sucks. I hate it so much. It's not freezing, or snowing, or raining very bad, but it's not warm enough to go outside without a jacket, or thick sweater. I want to go outside, on my bike, in nice weather, with my camera, and just see where I end up. Look for roads I haven't been down before. Crawl through bushes to see if there's something cool behind them. Taking pictures of random things I see on the way. But noooooo. Damn winter.

Aaanyway. Animal Crossing Wild World should be shipped in a few days. I can't wait. Though I'll probably be let down by the game, since I'm expecting it to be a crapload of fun. But so what.

I've submited an avatar design for the C&E avatar contest. It's pretty much shit. I hate saving things as .gif since somehow, PSP fucks it up somehow, and makes it look more pixilated than the program tells me it is. I'll probably get a newer version soon though. I'm still using 8.0, and it's giving errors all around. Not that it's not usable or anything, but just slightly annoying.

Wow. A journal by me, with actual content inside. Who would've thought that could happen. But I'm going to lay down for a while now. And take some whatever pills/drinks to fix this stomach of mine.


People you really should look at:

And I'm lazy to link others just now, sorry. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7639824/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7639824/ Wed, 18 Jan 2006 14:01:13 PST
Also, I see no reason not to type the alphabet in my journal.
Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.


That was all. Thank you for your time. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7627292/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7627292/ Tue, 17 Jan 2006 06:43:13 PST
I don't know what caused it, i don't know what I can do to fix it, and it's annoying, since I can't do anything on DA. And since ~Picksy isn't done downloading RO yet, there's no point that either.

Woe is me.

Suggestions how to fix the site are more than welcome.


edit: And in some freaky way, not long after posting this, everything worked normally. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7616930/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7616930/ Mon, 16 Jan 2006 04:24:16 PST

And as I suspected, I didn't do much yesterday.

OR today, for that matter.

I'm boring. So boring, that I even bore myself. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7588834/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7588834/ Fri, 13 Jan 2006 01:43:54 PST 'Ghostbusters'. God. They could at least try. Oh, and 'i know what you did last summer', which isn't that bad, only they show is just about every friggin month!

I guess it's sort of a good thing that I'm lazy when it comes to watching dvds. Since that means I still have a pile laying around that I have never watched. Probably no horror/thrillers though.

*wonders off to check what is on the pile*

Okay... So, I've kinda narrowed it down to one/some of these.
//From the Pile
-Dolls
-The usual suspects
-Carrie
-2046
-American history X
-Hana Bi
//not from the pile, but still to watch
-the special features disc of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original version, duh)
-The children of the corn, part I (turned it off after 10 minutes xD )
-Shara (I fell asleep. It was really late, okay? )
//To re-watch
-Dark water (original, not the remake)
-Bad Taste ( )
-Shaun of the dead
-The Ring boxset
-Interstella 5555
//Movies on the computer to re-watch
-Both resident evils (woohoo! Milla! )
-Silence of the lambs
-FF:Advent children
-The 5th element (*Milla fanboy*)
-losing track of time, sitting at the computer, talking on MSN while browsing DA

Sooo.... I am open to suggestions, basicly. Good suggestions, with reasons and everything will probably get advertised in some of my future journals. Like I'm trying to do with as much as I can, since she just rocks. Plus she lives in a castle. ;D <333 ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7580343/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7580343/ Thu, 12 Jan 2006 05:41:18 PST
To make up for the time you have left, go watch . Though she didn't get a DD yet, she deserves it in my eyes.

Editblah.

You could go enter your birthday over at if you haven't already. I don't know why, but I just did.

Also, people should look at [link] , since it's a great piece of work. It's maker is very good, and just needs that little bit of exposure to people. She deserves it!

Sorry for that ripped off joke.

Sitting at the computer hurts, and I'm going to lay in bed doing nothing/watching tv/playing games/nothing.

I have a few ideas for photos I just HAVE to take, as soon as I can. One of which is actually 's idea, though.


Now, off I go. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7541338/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7541338/ Sun, 08 Jan 2006 03:16:43 PST

Oh, and I want to take a few photos, but it has to be dark for them to look remotely good. Stupid ideas I get sometimes.

Also, I finally made a wishlist, mostly thanks to , since she told me how, what, and why. And wow, howmuch do I want that picture. :gonk:
About |<=========================>| That much (not to scale).

Oh, and since I've sorta turned this into a place to advertise people I adore, ~dark-chocolate makes good photos. :3 <3

I'll go play games most of the day, probably. Though I might have to go out and buy new ear plug sound headset things, since I kinda stepped on my old ones yesterday.

Happy new year, everyone and anyone that reads this.

No parties, no cool fireworks, not drunk. I fail at new year.

Tomorrow (or today, by all of your standards of time and naming it. Long story that I don't feel like typing now) I might pile all the fireworks photos I took in one big dump. That depends how bad they all failed though.

Now, red vodka and some other random alcohols I found in the garage. And then sleep. And a collection of RO stories/manga/the D word I keep forgetting.

If anyone has any spare lives, I'll offer my imaginary soul for it. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7464104/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7464104/ Sat, 31 Dec 2005 07:11:56 PST
And urk. I'm sleepy. And I have to stay up till 2. Damn new year. Can't you come in a few days?

Tonight I'll be going away, to Germany.

There will be over a meter of snow, which is more than I've ever seen in my life while living here.
I'm starting to learn how my camera works, slowly but surely.

I don't want to go on no effin vacation, but I always say and think that 2 or 3 days before we actually go. Even on the trip there I will be whining constantly.

One of the plus sides is that when we get back, my dad will let me use his credit card to order Animal Crossing: Wild World. I do NOT want to wait almost 4 more months to play it. Silly me.

Ugh. Head. Hurts. Belly full. Being forced to eat pasta, for christmas.

Okay, I'll stop whining here now too.


But I'd better see some and plenty of comments when I get back.

Herbal pill popping now, plzkthnx. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7399127/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7399127/ Sat, 24 Dec 2005 04:56:41 PST
And I still want to do a photoshoot with someone.


Well, I'm off to pop some herbal anti-stress/depresion pills.



Edit: Got my camera at last. Now to learn how to use it.

Ugh. In two days I'm going on vacation. At least there will be snow, but I doubt I wil have a good time. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7388083/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7388083/ Fri, 23 Dec 2005 01:28:26 PST
't is the season to be jolly.


On a side note, I had a dream that was all about me and Bob Sapp. I didn't even know who he was before I googled 5 minutes ago, yet he looks exactly like in my dream. Scary. ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7378251/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7378251/ Thu, 22 Dec 2005 00:11:41 PST
So I will remember what it looked like, description:

A black girl. About my lenght (1.79) or a bit smaller. Large frizzy afro hair.
The only clothing she wore was a pair of black panties. Not sexy see-through, but more leather like.
I think she was young. Meaning 12 - 14 years old, since she had very small breasts. Not fully grown adult ones.
She was wearing make-up before, only she had been in a fight/went hysterical and cried for long/both, so her make-up was all runny and smudged. She had a few small cuts and bruises on her legs, probably from whatever happened before.
She had this blank look on her face. Like she had just seen a ghost, or something else you wouldn't believe if you saw it. A sort of post-madness/lonelyness/desperate look, like she was alone in the dark for long, scared to death, and then seeing people you thought were dead, and not believing they are real. I'll try to google for an example of this later.

Anywho, that was about it, I think.

God, if I can ever take a photo like that, or can get someone to draw it like I have the image in my head, I would jump around, freak out, be happy, etc, etc. x___x;


'kay... Now to shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, look at the messages I have.

Oh, and if anyone wants to try to draw this, send me a note about it, or ask for my msn. I want it to be perfect.

Most of yesterday our heating broke. Again. Normally my dad fixes it by hitting one part, that keeps jamming, with a hammer, and it works again. But not yesterday. My dad was about to order a new one, if it didn't start working today.

Instead of using the hammer (allthough it is fun), I decided to read the [b]manual[/i]. Lo and behold, what we were beating on all this time wasn't the broken part. It was the wires running to and from the thermostat.

I wiggle and jiggle a bit, take some plugs out, and blow on them (which reminded me of playing my SNES, long ago), switching off the main power, it works.

And what the hell. Did I just type a whole journal on how I repaired my central heating by touching a few plugs? ]]> ~Smooz http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7336541/ http://Smooz.deviantart.com/journal/7336541/ Sat, 17 Dec 2005 13:47:56 PST
I wonder if it's going to suck. I wonder if I can stay awake till the end. o___O;

Expect an edit some time later.



Edit (HAH, told you): It's nice. Just, kinda... Nice. It's not a bad movie. Hell, it's way better than I expected it to be. But, as most si-fi movies do, it has it's flaws and loop holes, but they aren't so bad or noticable either. I just enjoy looking for them, and when I find big ones it's pretty safe to say that I will hate the movie. But no hating this time.

As for the looks, it is pretty darn good. I didn't really spot parts that were so clearly computer animated that it bother me, something which I normally do. Allthough the looks are okay, the fight scenes were a little too fast for my liking, but at least they were done by real people.

As a grade, I'd give the movie a 7/10. It's nice, but not really great. I wish I would have watched the whole cartoon, though. I missed the first few episodes, and only saw a handfull of the rest. The visual style in the cartoon was amazing though. I loved it. ]]> ~Smooz
