I dont understand why the one thing that takes me away from my mundane and busy life has to be so far away from me. I dont understand why the one person who I honestly believe I can tell everything to lives where he does. I cope and manage when we are away, it just makes me wish even more that I could be with him all the time. I value every single second. Its stable he is there and I think he will be for a long time. I am happy and relieved to have him and its weird. Its the one that you always have had a little crush on, you know? But you dont really pursue it because you think you arent good enough. But I suppose I am because he picked me out of all the others he could have. I just miss him all the time hes away.
Im here now, I have peace of mind. Thank you so much.
I love you.

... Whew... thats done. Now my next little rant. WHY THE HELL IS IT NOT COLD YET??? We are going to have 80 degree weather for thanksgiving.. How freaken horrible is that? I want my cold scarf weather.

anywho. byye.

He wants to help fix our broken country and help restore the strong economy we once had. He is for the rights of the individual and hopefully we can see an end to this war!
Obama is not the anti christ sorry.
He wont die anytime soon.
And if we unite as a country we can see a good change for the future.
I am pleased for that. But its dissapointing to see so many people angry and upset about this election, I can understand if you did not like him, truly I can, because I felt the same way about McCain, but listen to this.

Yesterday morning I went with my Dad to the local hardware store and as we were shopping we heard the three old men who opened the store saying "America hired a Nigger a f**king nigger to run this country" and a few other nasty racist remarks. We left without shopping there. Racism should not have such a strong hold on our society. We as a nation should not have such hatreds still so strongly present. This saddened me.
And then the same day while at school, a group of individuals were shouting that "If you voted Obama your will end up in hell!" and "Your sins and love for gay rights will only get you a ticket to hell"
Whether or not you agree with any of this. Keep these opinions to yourself, that is shameful and disgusting. We dont need to keep arguing and pursuing hatred like this. If we do how are we ever going to get ahead as a country.
America is not what it ever used to be. And sadly I dont think it will see peace any time soon.


In other news... Yay for love. Because I have fallen into it.

Ok, so in the past couple months I have become more and more aware of our current situation. The economy is almost worse than it was during the depression of the 30's, there is a rise in crime and unemployment throughout the country. And I cant fathom how a person has not at least heard about Gay Marriage and the battle over abortion. But. What annoys me more than almost everything else are the uninformed people. The people who cling to an opinion like its going to save their lively-hoods. They will glady argue with you on a superficial level, usually about that they are right and they are wrong. But they will almost never delve into any issue deeply.
To those people, though most of them are not on DA, leave me alone please, thaank you

No on the subject of halloween. I know its late but if ANYONE has a neat idea of something to draw for halloween, hit me up! I want to draw something for the season. I love it, its the only time of year you can dress like an idiot and no one will care otherwise. I plan to fully take advantage of this.

And good news for me. I get to see my babeh this weekend hehe...I know no one cares, but I do.

So till next time Im bored at college, have a happy halloween!! AND VOTE OBAMA!!!!

I apologize to my watchers and friends that I hvae not been updating artwork that much. Im waiting for something larger to come along, i have bee sketching ideas up the ying-yang, but none of those sketches actually merit being put on the internet. But I am finishing up a few things and the commissions I was asked. Im so sorry I have been slacking on you.

My subscription ended... Sadness, but with outrageously priced textbooks, car accidents and family trauma, reloading my DA subscription has been left to the wayside. If you feel generous enough to contribute anything leave me a note with a sketch request and I will draw something for you.

But there is always some kind of good news. I met a boy who is as weird as I am. He is a sweetheart, and an amazing musician. So anyway yeah, that is working out in a positive manner, and he has been in his own ways, encouraging me to draw more. I need a new sketchbook sometime soon.

Happy end of summer!!!!

Well for those of you who probably didnt know my family and I are moving. We are out of our current residence in a week and into the new place. Which happens to be pretty awesome. But that also means in a week I think I will be internet less for a while. So if you got something to say nows the time

But yeah things are looking good on the homefront, except im swamped with art. If you asked me to do something for you, I can promise it will get done, though I cant give a definite answer when just soon, before thanksgiving at least !!!

School starts soon too, in august. Yay!!

OH!!! And guess what, this lucky girl gets vacation time... Im taking a week to myself to go up to Santa Barbara to spend time with someone incredibly special to me. Im pretty excited!!!And luckily he is too. A whole week ahhh makes me happy especially because I really dont like to work

What also makes me happy are those strawberry lemonade things from starbucks. They are ridiculously expensive and easy to make but it tastes sooo gooood... And get it with melon, I recommend it.

Call me an optimist but things are going good. And for me I would rather be an optimist most of the time... Well sometimes.

Toodles

PS Anyone want to go see Sigur Ros with me October 2nd????

I really dont update this enough to keep anyone's attention.


Im gonna start off with the basics.


I graduated EMT school May 21. I am now an EMT I just need to pay for a whole bunch of state tests and other fun things like that. Yay!

I have recently decided to join marching band again. I miss it sooo much. Im going to be joining RCC marching band!!!! YAY.

I recently met a really awesome guy who says my artwork "rocks everyone's socks"... And this same guy is also my boyfriend


And in other news... Twilighters out there. You know who you are, all of you... There are much much much better works of fantasy and vampire lore out there. And just fyi... Edward does not exist!!!!!!

And Indiana Jones... Sadness. I cant watch it again.

I was in barnes and noble yesterday, the most orgasmic place in exisitance and I found an artbook for Alphonse Mucha. And I almost died with happiness, but the price was more than I can handle... I also found HP Lovecraft's Necronomicon...I nearly died at that one too, but I also found out that I am even more poor.

SO this brings me to my next topic.. Would anyone like to purchase a set of 80+ Prismacolored pencils from me. Its my second set, and out of the 80+ only 12 are used. Its in amazing condition and prices are slightly negotiable. Hit me up!

Sorry for the lack of updates, communication, etc.... I hardly have time for much.

Well my family got a new dog yesterday. Its another chihuahua. Its actually nice though, (and not possessed by satan like the other one) and its name is Bella.
My house is a zoo!

And yeah.

Kinda stoked,got a little promotion thing in my job which is cool. And I have been there for so long now that I get to join all these kinda cool little programs.

Rock-Band! OH gosh!!!! Rock-Band is an amazingly fun game. I mean yeah. Guitar hero rocks, but ROCK-BAND is soo much better. Thats where alot of my time has gone.
And pulling all nighters and going dancing really late into the night.

And I have fallen in love with Sufjan Stevens again. That is where all my time is going.

It seems that whenever I search stock galleries all I see is people(and sometimes odd ones at that) in strange costumes.

Maybe its just me.
But
I use stock images for poses and as a reference for people. Not so much for those costume things with weird wings and nylons.

OH WELL

maybe I need to hire a model.

*ahem*

yes.

Havent updated in a while. I have been really busy with school. I promise Im not dead. At least I dont think I am.

ANYWAYS! School. Emt class. Its intense. And I have learned so much! I dont think I can ever look at people the same way again. Wow it really changes how you view the world when you realize YOU are the person responding to other people's crisis and you are expected to help them. Im also already starting to apply what I have learned to my everyday life. Its intense. And if you ever get me started on it (WARNING:rambles for hours about emt school) I can tell you some amazing stories already
BUT. Its all hinging on whether or not I can pass the midterm. If I dont pass that bad boy I am out. I am not going to let that happen though. I am mighty determined. And as of today I am CPR, Haz-Mat, and WMD certified. Hehehe its pretty sweet. I wish my current job would give me a raise for that bit but no. Anyways. yeah It is amazing. And I am still drawing just time is an issue but its happening.

Uhm so on to art. WHO commissioned me? I have a little list of art to do, but I dont remember who exactly had commissioned me. If you could remind me I can finish it Yup.

And I GOT MY NOSE PIERCED!!! Yes indeed. I got the septum pierced. I know it sounds kinda dumb seeing as though Im going to be an emt but I can take it out if I really need to and this one is easy to hide. I think I need to update my id or something so you can see its beautimus! I love it. I get the greatest stares from the elderly with my face jewlry out and my rockabilly pompadour. That is fantastic.

So the next couple months are going to be chaotic. Im moving. AND the emt midterm PLUS. There are a few concerts I am dying to see live. Xiu Xiu and then Colin meloy fromt the decemberists. But yeah thats just life.

I have done a little reflecting, and for those of you who I may have come across as rude I apologize. I have been deathly busy and short tempered. But I am better now(sorta) Sometimes tempers happen right?

Well anyways. I would love critique and comments on any of my work, it is all for growth

Thanks bunches

So I felt obligated to make a journal in regard to the new year.

yeah.
So here it goes...



This past year has been a hurricane of emotions and events.

Lets see.

This year, Well last year, I graduated from high school. Wow. I was actually scared that I might not make it. My grades were just slightly iffy, and I wasnt into taking tests of any kind. But I somehow managed to graduate with high honors and gpa.. Weird I know.

This summer was long and hot like usual in california. I got a job that I have been working at since then, a job that is supporting me as a young adult.

My sister broke her arm for the first time, and I lost a relative.

I made a few very dear friends and suffered through hell for some of them. I have many of them still, and the ones I dont were learning experiences in human nature.

This past year I have developed my music tastes into a more refined and better form of what I already was interested in.

I have had a few romances which were short lived till recently. Each of these experiences has taught me a definite lesson in trust and what exactly emotion can do.
(I am currently in one of sorts)

I have not drawn as much as I should have.

And I changed my major to medicine

Naturally that is the over all abriged version of my year. Im not gonna spill my soul here.

But here are a few resolutions. I didnt make any new years eve, except one to myself. but I created a couple that I hope to live up to.

1. Draw more and draw better
2.Write more and refine my lyrical thoughts.
3. lose my midsection and tone up.
4. Be kinder, and polite to others.
5.Keep the friends I have made dear to me.
6. Be a better role model to my siblings.
7. Move out.

there ya go.
Im going to put up some artwork tomorrow.


-Sophie

A serious case of the heebee jeebees and a side effect of the lesser known emotion called "adorational fascination"

Its where your stomach is in a constant fit of the butterflys and you cant stop humming one(or two) songs in particular (the songs are associated with a memory or emotion). Its also associated with random daydreams which result in wistful happiness(and drooling on occasion) and murmuring of one single name. And its also associated with "Icantletmyphonego-omnia" in which you wait by your phone for every text and call. And when you do get a text and call you are thrilled and your adrenaline is sky high

Its addicting.

and its pretty sweet too.

Its like a precursor to other more serious emotions. Umm Im rambling again.

But Im really really really(x4) excited and nervous and anxious and emotional and happy.

It was literally one of the best christmas presents I got this year.

Anywho. Ima gonna shut up now and leave you with my conundrum. good luck with that.

THE SOUND OF JINGLING BELLS!!!!!

and the loud sigh of relief


I am FINALLY done with my final... Im so happy.. actually ecstatic.
So in the past two hours I have written a 5 page fiction story based on something I have had in my head for years.
Its simple.. Im really tempted to post it on DA.. But I dont know how appropriate that would be. But oh well.


OK
Whatever you believe in, Im going to say this.

This Holiday season is just like any other. Its the same. Only thing is this Christmas think about what you have in life. Its like a little bit of retrospection. Cause as one hell of a year comes to a close I have a lot to think of, as Im sure all of you do. Just think about it and reflect. It helps with the growing process. And just think! Next year is a new beginning. Make change

PLUS!!!

Spread a smile and pass on some happiness. Even if you think you have none to give there is someone who has less than you. Im pretty big on spreading the goodness of the world. So smile to the hobo on the side of the road! Smile to you grouchy neighbor.
The Christmas Season makes me happy. Or at least a little excited.

Yeah.

I feel like updating....

So
How are all of you?

I am officially changing my major, from the arts to.... Medicine
Im going to be a paramedic..
yessir
Its going to be exciting. And I am happy with my choice because that will pay for me to be an artist.

And I naturally still plan to have art as at least a hobby, or a passion. Because i cant breathe without art.

OMFG!!!!
FINALS!!!!!!
ARGGGH!!!!!
Never take 2 english classes and an art history class at the same time, unless you want to commit social suicide and die of starvation.
I cant believe how much is due TUESDAY!

*breath breath*

Wow.
Anywho.
Its cold and I want to make beanies, but whose head do I make them for??
Lol.

And in other news
alot of people on DA
are starting to get on my nerves because
they are over sensitive
or just blatantly rude or naive.

Cant change that now can you.

Thank you for reading my fodder and blah-nesss

<3

Im so happy.
Im no fool, I know that it needs work still, but still. he told me to publish it.
Pretty spiffy eh?

Well Im just over all happy and pleased.
Art to come soon.

BUT DAMNIT!!!!! My scanner just doesnt like pencil...

*sniff-sniff* I just dont know what to do kiddies.
I could try my hand at photoshop again, but that always kills me with frustration...

And all of my new art is pencil... Well most of it.

Damn.....


anywho..


I get paid today!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!! its bill paying time

Oh yeah.
SHould I get a sidekick phone, or a verizon EnV....
I am getting a new phone and I am torn between the two.
And also DA friends.
Do any of you know which plan has better texting options?? Between T-mobile or Verizon.. I is a text fiend

Thanks much for reading this mess of a journal.

Well... I have had a pretty bad day.
And I can see it steadily get worse.

The Power was out all up and down my street for about an hour.
It was exciting except the computer was on(on the login page) and I was getting ready to find some ice cream.
We didnt have any ice cream so I was sad.

So I was in the bathroom cleaning up and changing into comfy clothes when all of a sudden the lights went out.
I thought it was my brother playing a trick on me and turning off my switch but I heard my sisters scream.
So I run out and tell them to hold hands as I procure a lighter and about 10 candles my Mom and Dad come out of the room with a few more candles and flashlights.

We were going to tell scary stories but then my sisters would have never gone to sleep... Which would have made my sleep bad.

My Mom and I step out to see if there are any lights on anywhere. The power was out all up and down our street.
but just as my Mom was coming back into the house there was a huge explosion way down the street. It made a loud humming type noise and it flashed purple-ish red. It was scary....
But the power is back on now and all is well in the house.

And in other news... I am "sick".... *cough cough* yay... Not really.
But yeah.

I think I am going to try to sleep now.

Hey kids! Guess what?
Its story time!
"yay!"

Ok
Let start off with this. Me and my friendswent to see Avenue Q.
We leave our sunny little town at 5pm with coffee and teas in hand. Happy as can be except my friend spills her tea all over the backseat of the car. A great start.
Traffic to LA wasnt to bad we just took the 10 all the way down there. We got stuck in traffic... During this enjoyable time in the car we sang along to RENT and The Stilletto Formal, which I think I really do like as a new favorite band.
Yes it was fun.
Well we did stop at a gas station and allowed a kind young gentleman to clean the car for us. He was just so eager to help!
Well we ended up in LA around 6:30.. YAY WE DIDNT DIE!!!! But I did learn a great deal of beautiful swear words and phrases... get out a dictionary and a pen kids 'cause here is a new one! "Go fuck your self with something hard and sandpapery!!!" Oh yes... It was kinda confusing and nerve racking. The buildings were tall and looming and the air was thick humid and rank. The lack of light due to the sunset was also a bit of a problem. Well we did get a tiny bit lost with all of LA's wondrous one way streets.
AVENUE Q!!! So amazing oh my gosh... amazing. I laughed so hard. And who knew puppet sex could be so weird and funny at the same time? "Hey, you cant put your finger there... OH!!! PUT YOUR FINGER THERE!" And of course... did you know... "the internet is for -porn!-".... For those of you totally clueless... go look it up... You will not be disappointed. It is a perverted Seaseme Street for Adults.... =]
Well our dear friend who is going to school at Cal Arts in Valencia calls us and wants to meet up with us... My friend who is driving says "lets go visit her!!!" OK. We get directions from a nice young lady who was either stoned or drunk... maybe both because her directions sent us to OXNARD!!!! WTF?!?!!? The middle of NOWHERE... There were TRACTOR CROSSING SIGNS!!!!We live in California not Kentucky. Well we stop at a shell station to ask for directions... After the guy recovers from laughing at our misfortune he tells us how to get back to San Bernardino... We just want to go home at this point. Time:about 11:30-12am.
Well we take this route that this guy gives us and we end up passing the DOLE packaging place and it smells like rotten onions... Ewww.. Well we are freaking out as it is because we are in the middle of NOWHERE and BAM the road ends... No warning it just ends. And as we turn around and there was a ROLLER CHAIR turned on its side and it is torn up... We we start freaking out... I was seriously expecting someone with rabies and a chain saw to jump out and kill us.. Like that stupid "hills have eyes movie".
Somehow...we end up back at the stupid ass shell station... A different guy is there and he has no CLUE where San Bernardino is... No clue.... So we get on the freeway the way the "map" says. Well we are driving and well guess what we see... Come on guess.... "UCSB" welcome to Santa Barbra.... dont your dare judge us. Well we see a sign that says the 126 East... East.. Well we live in the east so we take it... We drive and drive in the boonies... the boonies meaning rabid chainsaw men are just waiting to jump out and molest us.
Im freaking out and my friends are as well. We see a SHELL another shell...We stop and this time it is a lady who sets us on our happy path... We start out once again and well we start joking around... YES we are going to make it home. Well Cal Arts is on our way home... We stop to see Alyssa and it was fun!!!
We leave and we are truly on our way this time... Guess what???
WE GET A FLAT!!!!! Not a flat you can fix no... the tire is shredded!!!And it pops are we are in the fast lane.... we had to pull off to the left hand side of th... ]]> ~SophieDragon http://SophieDragon.deviantart.com/journal/14872861/ http://SophieDragon.deviantart.com/journal/14872861/ Mon, 01 Oct 2007 15:34:28 PDT

So I got the Across the Universe soundtrack and I now know all the words to it. Im just plain amazing like that.

So some random guy asked me for my number the other day. It was really flattering. I dont really know what to do about it.

So Ummmnn I entered the contest for Wish me luck

No art to speak of my mind is being consumed by the demons of two english classes assigning essays at the same time.
ARGH.


anyway.

Im making a sammich. and I think I am going to buy a RENT poster for my bedroom.

I saw it
and I give it five gold stars in my notebook.
Now before you go off and read your "rotten tomatoes" reviews please let me speak at you.

It is a very good movie. Albeit there are some really flashy and overdone scenes(example the LSD trips).
Its artistic.
Think Moulin Rouge but tamed down to the serious level.
It is a cliche love story, but its not what you tell it is how you tell it. And this is well told.
Even if you don't like Beatles music you will like this movie. Its not an over the top musical, its well written and each song used makes perfect sense. If your sensitive to color then I do not recommend this movie, also this movie is not for small children or your grandmother.
Plus
Jim Sturgess may well be the perfect guy.

anyway.

Self inflicted pain is a dish well served warm with a side of regret--

OH
For those of you who commented on my last picture thank you. But I really am looking for ummmn "constructive criticism." But your compliments truly make my day.

Oh my gosh.
Its wedsday.
Happy hump day.

anyway today I had my first college exam in Math. YAY!!! I think I bombed that test. Im a little past the point of caring how well I do on Math anymore. Its no my passion. I would be quite happy passing with a C- right now. Oh well.
I despise math anyway.

Ok does this make any sense to you? My brother's school is making the kids take every other Wedsday off. The reason. Because last year they did so bad on the STar tests, the teachers are taking every other wedsday as a "training to teach" day. It sucks. Our teachers dont teach how to think anymore. They teach to a test. Thats why America is becoming stupid. So because my brother's school didnt perform to "Government standards of education" He suffers by missing out on an education. Right now he thinks its the coolest thing, to get school off. ARgh.... Our government sucks.. the end.

anyway
bye

Well I have begun a commission and so far its been easy. Basically all I have to draw is a dragon. Not to hard.
But I really want to purchase some guache paints. They are the most amazing medium ever. But I have no extra money right now...

I have been working alot and have not really had the opportunity to draw much, or do my homework for that matter. Its been kinda tough.


Summer is almost done.
Im so excited!! Dont you love cold weather and snow? I do.

I made the most amazing banana bread the other day. I am a pro-chef. Lol. Superskills. Anyway.

I burnt my tounge last night on Top Ramen and this morning again on coffee....
Aaaannnd I feel sick to my stomach.

I think my new favorite artist is Michelangelo.
I actually am thinking about trying to emulate the style of the Renaissance. I want to try at least. In my mind if you can emulate great works then you are a good artist. Anyway....

Hello Deviant-land.

Gosh

Work work work.
I need a relief.
I need a vacation.
I need to leave California.
I need to go dancing in the rain... and not care who is watching.

I got home from work today and painted my toes... Yay.

my Bff Kayla called and we went to Starbucks and got coffee and talked for hours. You really realize how much you miss someone when they are there again.
I got home and there was a burrito in the fridge, in a bowl... My Mom made it for me. She also made me some Jello and dream-whip dessert.
I am

Today must have been the hottest day of summer. Before you object to my claim let me describe just how miserable it was.
First the sun...Well I live in California which is the "golden state" the state where the sun always shines. Eff the sun. It hangs up in the acid blue sky glaring down at the earth. Its light doesnt make you warm, It burns, it causes your skin to tingle, and then you sweat. Some people sweat more than others. But the worst kind of sweat is the kind that sticks all over your body making your clothes cling awkwardly. That light sheen of sweat that lingers even after you wipe it away. And oh the humidity. Heat is one thing but humdity magnifies the heat. The air is stifling and thick. Its like being in a room with many people breathing and no circulation. You tend to get that uncomfortable sweat behind your ears or at your elbows and knees. Gee i didnt even know knees could sweat till today. There was some wind. But it was the Santa Anas and for those of you that dont know what that is, think of a blowdryer. A blow dryer you cant escape from that is constantly blowing your hair into your face. I hate california with a passion.
argh.

I got a letter in the mail today. A letter from myself back when I was 12. Whatever teacher I had back then gets kudos for creativity. It was really cute to read. My childhood dreams really equate to nothing I have become. I wanted to be a marine biologist. I must have been really blind not to notice my poor math skills, or the lack thereof. About the only life goal I achieved from my 12 year old self was graduating. And that nearly didnt even happen. I also think that when I was 12 I liked gelly-roll pens. Alot changes in 6 years. Too much I think.

Ugh.... I think I died at 6. Im working on an artwork for and Im pretty excited about it becuase it is a subject I like to draw. But I decided to make it as detailed as possible. Here let me reiterate. As detailed as possible. My right hand hurts. Im probably going to get carpoltunnel(?) when Im older. Anyway I drew for about 2 hours and I took a nap.

I got my art history book 3 days ago and it has a large picture of Ophelia by John Everett Millais. I literally fell in love with that picture. It inspired me.

I mean Im not obligated to stop and wave to anyone. I can just amble around with my music playing and not worry at all. I seriously have only one person I know in only one of my classes.

I am feeling... Blaahhh not good.
Personal reasons but Im not feeling abosolutly great.

Officially done with the fist week of my college career. In English today we had a little debate based of an argumentative text. Well as it turned out I was the only one who actuall read the whole text. Pretty much everyone else just read the summary. And so the debate was all based on their opinions. Oh man I was frustrated. So I decided not to say anything at all. But one idiotic person said something really lame and I retorted and yeah.... Debate.
Im so lame sometimes.

But I am the best big sister ever. My Brother's Birthday is today and at midnight I sneaked into his room while he was sleeping and dumped ice water all over him and squeaked a loud dog toy in his ears all while singing Happy Birthday. And I wrapped his presents all in Duct tape. Thats how I show my love.

So as you can see I decided to leave behind my old journal. I decided that I was a little bored of it. I mean its nice, but I want a new one. Please, if you have an ounce of CSS creativity in you then take it into your hearts to design a CSS journal for me. I tried to make one, and I failed. Ummm if you make me one I might just make an amazing artwork for you.

Yay for the weekend... OH WAIT I have to work.

So today was my first day of "college"

Whoop-de-doo.....

Lame.
basically my intelligence was insulted... My math teacher seems like one of those overly nice types, who pretends to be firm, but will bend like a wet noodle if a convincing sob story comes up. Yeah Lame... ugh.

So there is this cafe thing. Yeah I know sounds like fun, no its not. I went there becuase I had time between my classes and my friend left to go to one of hers... so I went there to doodle (for an hour ) while I waited for my next class to start. Well there was a wierd group of kids there. talking about WoW... and I am like, No, not cool. AND they all kept staring at me. It was very uncomfortable. And this one(dressed in all black) kept finding reasons to come and walk by me very slowly. Apparantly you cant doodle on your free time anymore.
By the way.. Its a doodle for my dear friend not that he is on DA buut yeah, just FYI.

I hope something amazing happens tomorrow, or else I might end up falling asleep in class more than I should.
Ok maybe I am overracting.


IM MAKING COOKIES!!!! Boo-yah

I think I am having artist block. Oh gosh, not again.

Ps. I want the White Stripes Icky Thump album. I really do

YAYFORFUNZOOANIMALS!!!

I went to the Zoo today with my great friend Kayla and these two adorable little kids. So I wake up at the crack of dawn to get ready. I skip taking a shower, becuase the snooze button is much more appealing. Well we leave... but before we leave we have to stop in Vons for what seemed like an hour, to buy foodstuffs.The drive there was long and Grueling. San Diego is faaar. And I almost fell asleep 7 times, each time I was woken up with loud whiny music, but . Well we get there alive and in one piece. We looked at Flamingos and monkeys and tigers and bears oh my. And we got wet in a tropical rain forest! And I almost got my face eaten by some gigantic spider(I walked into the web). And My shoe broke, soooo I had to buy an emergency pair. Im so lame sometimes. I got sunburnt on my face and my arms, not fun. Buuut over all it was amazing. I was able to get some really nice shots of a baby giraffe Oh yeah.
After the Zoo we went to Coronado island and went into the ocean.Well I got sand everwhere UGH. yeah and I also saw my future dream house that me and my future imaginary husband will live in, it was beautiful. And We had In-and-Out for supper.
Basically today was amazing and fun.
But of course me being my clumsy dorky self stepped on every sharp object, and I found any and every hole. but at least I didnt die.

Sorry I wasnt able to be reached today. Im sure I was desperatly missed...

Well tomorrow will hopefully turn out to be another adventure
yeah
uhhhh

Ok Concerning Hobbits comes first. I read LOTR when I was 14... I remember about 4 months of not talking to anyone and avoiding Harry Potter. It was amazing. I think I was crazy back then. Well that was 4 years ago and I think I need to read it again. But finding time for a beast like that is going to be nearly impossible

So today was amazing. Thank you to those of you who contributed.

Not that any of you really care, but I do.. I went to the mall with the BFF and well I got clothes... and some earrings...Heres where the fun comes in. Well I did need jeans, BUT I needed earrings becuase I pierced my ears recently(by my onsies) and I need some small studs. So I found some that were on sale. But when I got home to use them they were not in my bag... Why?! My poor ears
aand I got an Invader Zim shirt...
NErd...

Oh Wow so I have been so busy...

I started work last week. Its pretty fun. I like it sorta. I work at a drugstore and Im the "Beauty Advisor" Its fun becuase I get to play with makeup all day and all that Jazz. Most of the people I help are elderly ladies though...=/ but I have found out that Almay is an amazing brand of makeup. And loreal is pretty spiffy as well. Its cool becuase they dont really care what I wear which is very fun. Some of my coworkers are kinda lame and they talk way to much.

So I am going to see this concert. [link]
Okkervil River and Damien Jurado... Oh Man Im excited. But Jon Vanderslice is playing two days later, and he is just as amazing. But ya gotta choose. oh well Im very happy about this.

Ok So I am going to buy jeans this weekend.. The amazing skinny kind. Im so excited. I might get my ear pierced also. I havent decided. But I am getting a haircut. It was suggested that I get the Peacock look from the 80's but I seriously think that would be silly. Buuut I am getting it cut pretty short Long curly hair is a pain in the butt, short curly hair can be straightened... Lol Im wierd

I entered a contest hosted by Im pretty darn excited about it.

Aaaand I was looking through my gallery and it looks so unprofessional. Just as a warning I might take it down and only put up a few things. It really just does not do me any sort of justice. What makes me most sad is that I dont even have up any of my recent work becuase it is all quite large. Oh Well.

Once again!!!! I am open for commissions. I know most of you are poor and I totally get that, but I in serious need for some extra money for college. And Im sorry but I will not be doing free art(I have had alot of notes asking me to "draw my character") Art trades are fun but they are a different story.
My work is primarily traditional at the moment so I will be charging by the sketch and then more for ink, and more for color. Im affordable and reliable. Note me if you are interested.

So I was in Staples the other day and on display they had Corel painter and CS3 and all these amazing jaw dropping art programs... Dang. Oh well.
Hey kid, if you know how to make journal CSS let me know. I want to change mine

I luv you

So I went to Comic-Con on friday and it was amazing!! I went down there with becuase she is like my sister or something.. We met up with and which was sooooo cooooooool.... They did some doodle exchanges but I was somehow distracted but none-the-less amazed and inspired.

So we get there and there are 50MILLIONPEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so cool. I was confunded or something becuase I immediatly lost concentration.. I remember making coherent thoughts and then... It was all a blur of fun and costumed folk.
We waited to get some cool bags and manga. We got to talk an artist or two which was amazing. We bumped into and eluded a few strange people and we became too cool for ourselves! Oh Man I can wait to see the Golden COmpass now. GEEEEEEZ!
But yeah. and I want to run a booth next year and sell prints and such. We are pretty serious and I think we are gonna do it. Next year though.. I am dressing up as Sora... YESH!!
The only thing Comic-Con needed was some Wicked things...

I FINISHED HARRY POTTER 7 AND I FEEL LIKE MY CHILDHOOD HAS ENDED!!!

Well Hi Folks.

Sorry for my little bit of a lazy spell.Hmmmmn lets see..
I have an art trade with Taikeyko almost done.. A few other miclilaneous drawings and some character sketches from a dream/book thing.

Yeah I want to let you all know.. Im not dead..WHOOO... I know I was scared I was too. But I am busy with Post-High-School-life. Yes there is life after high school, Im shocked too.

I got my AP test scores today. Well I submitted an AP Art-design protfolio with my concentration being Tattoos. I got a 3. Not as good as I had hoped but I contribute that to me being busy with my Senior year. but yeah
And on top of that I have a bevy of artwork that I cannot put up becuase they are 11"x14" or larger.. I really like 11"x14" its kinda my favorite sized paper. SO sorry folks. Some you shall never see. I know....Im sad too.

Im trying to get a job. and please if another person says "why dont you work as a sign holder" I will numb their limbs with my super Mind-Powers... You go and stand in 100+ heat for 6hours and wave a sign... Yeah I thought not.


But yeah sorry for my lack of amazing art. I will try to post some of the pieces I have been working on. For now...
Fare thee Well Ogre!!

So Some fun stuff. I realized I havent been active on DA for a while... So I will tell you a small story...

I SAW WICKED!!!!
At the Pantages... it was one of the best things I have ever done... EVER!!! Man is was amazing... The music was phenominal... Galinda was Hilarious!!! Elphaba sang like Magic, literally like magic!! Boq was amazing... AND Fyiero was AWESOME!!! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time... I screamed so hard I lost my voice afterward...Man... I cannot tell you how amazing it was... Im so gonna see it again this summer. The Time Dragon Clock was sooo cool!! And the Wizard was so scary!! Not to mention the FLYING MONKEYS!!! Wow... I have decided that if I act in Wicked ever, I would want to be Madame Morrible. She was amazing...
And guess what?
I GOT TO MEET THE CAST!!!! I did I got their signatures and too pictures with Eden, the lady who played Elphaba... IM IN LOVE WITH WICKED!!!
Fyiero was really cute.

I have drawn alot of tattoos but I am way to scared to put them online because someone is going to want to steal them, so... I think until I can get a watermark thing Im not going to put up any of my tattoo art.

Oh and I got the job at Forest Home!!!

So West side Story is Next Week. I have SOOOO much to do for it but I am so excited to. I think I have gained a couple of gray hairs but it is still exciting. I am doing show cue calls? I think that is what they are called. Anyway I am head of the Tech and running backstage and stuff... Wow I am busy.

SO there was your Sophie life update.

My birthday was fun. Im having a party for it this weekend.

So My grandma got me a Laptop for my birthday/graduation present.
It is a nice one. I think. It is a Toshiba Sattalite. With a Pentel Dual Core Processor. 80GB. For a gift I think it is great. Im excited.Only problem is it came with no antivirus. It has windows Vista and I am told that only one anti virus will be compatable with the new program... Urrrrgghhh and it is an expensive one tooo. *shake fist*

So I decided Chipotle is possibly the best "fast food" ever. It is the Mexican Subway. I seriously love it.

Some art should be coming. I have been so busy lately that I havent really been able to do much of anything progressive. I have soooo much art to finish for the AP test. Ugggh.

Spring Break is here. Looks like 2 weeks of fun and sleeping in. Possible chilling with some friends. Oh yes. Im excited.
