Majority of you say you don't want me to change the css, fine!

I WILL MAKE A NEW ICON INSTEAD. WAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA *evil laughter*

No, I've been wanting to make a new icon for ages, this expression came up in an msn scribble chat and it was perfect. So there we go. Now my icon is actually properly me. wahahaha. And yes I'm hopeless at making icons. Ohwell, I love it anyway. 8'D

Now I can do saysplz things!



Also, the Australian TROPFEST was just on, that's a short film festival for Australian shortfilms. And I saw this film on it; it wasn't the winner, but I was strangely moved by it.

Left Unkspoken By Avi Lewin, it's just really cute and only goes for about five minutes. I suggest giving it a look! ^_^

That's all for now! Back to work! ^^

_{ps. Yes, I did absolutely die yesterday, for those of you wondering or who have asked how I coped. There was much, much bawling. Only the good kind, I figure. 8'D}

Also, there are much floods up here. Maybe that will discourage people from the house which is Auctioning this weekend. Then again, there's been lots of people inspecting (and jumping on my bed while I'm in the room. ;n; please to not be damaging my personal property small children..) and I heard someone outside my window place a fourty-thousand dollar deposit on, soooo...

ANYWAY. SUPANOVA.

'Nova went wonderfully well! Lots of fun; I think Mister Declan's journal, whom I met there, sums up the kind of wonderful people we met and new friends I made (and also the success of our stall! XD)

_{"On a side note, I really hope the person doing the animation course doesn't read this. She'd probably be a indescribably creeped out to discover that she's essentially determined the course of my life (or the next few years of it, at the least)."} I find this massively cute, sir. Glad to have helped in any way!

Right, photographs! Well to start with, this is our stall; late on the second day! Looklook, proof I was drawing this there!



Many people seemed absolutely fascinated with the drawing and the fact that I could draw ~straight onto the computer ohmaegawddd!~~~ Hooray for wacoms! XD We wound up with quite a crowd of people standing and watching, it was pretty fun although slightly embarassing, aha! <8D Oh well, good times! I also got to meet James Lee and his wife Hania, who came to visit us at the stall and chatted for a while. I had a complete fangirl moment, it was wonderful. *o*

There are quite a few more photos, if people want to see I might get some more of them off Rekkar and post them up. Maybe I should just do a huge photospam post one day?


SNAPE, SNAPE, SEVERUS SNAPE. this guy was amazing, I pounced and hugged him and he was just like "Siiiighhhh". ps. I am on a hill on higher ground, and I still don't come up to his shoulders. I WIN AT BEING SHORT.


Slightly less in character Hitcher (from the Mighty Boosh), but he was still wonderful. And I am still short!


Thankfully this Tenth Doctor (Doctor Who) was kind enough to lean down so I don't look like such a tiny. 8D I still look like an absolute nutcase though.


SAME CHARACTER DIFFERENT PERSON ABSOLUTELY AMAZING KTHNX. I fangirled madly. XD I also got given some bunny ears and a tail by the equally crazy ~kidremarkable


Ahhh I loved these girls so much. I went flailing over at them screaming, they were wonderful. ;3; SO CUTE. And so many little details and SO CUTE.

I bought a dress there too, there was an absolutely beautiful sweet lolita shop there, and it was expensive but I DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING ELSE. I HAD TO, I HAD TO I SWEAR. @w@ I'll make another journal soon with some more photos in it maybe!

For now I guess I'll just leave it with two more msn scribbles. honestly, real art? My own characters? You're kidding, right?

In other news, things are getting sort of increasingly hard I suppose. I won't go into details, but there's a large amount of stress lately! University is a big one of course, what with several very demanding year long courses (and this is my final year) and many high expectations of us and our performances in these courses. It's literally make or break now, I guess.

However my even bigger worry at the moment is, well, that after finally sorting out almost all of the problems with moving into our new place and getting the utilities functioning and working internet, despite it being slow, and despite having to swap a phone company immediately after getting it connected and thus terminating inside a contract because we couldn't have internet with that company and they didn't tell us because there was "no legal obligation" for them to do so and-- etc..

We came home one day to find out that our landlord is selling the house and hadn't even told us...



To add a bit of insult to injury, if it doesn't sell after the very abrupt open house day we had, he's apparently now going to auction it off. Ohoh, and one last thing-

He never lodged our lease. So we'll be kicked out of here with no where to go, and after only just starting to get settled. *small cry*

But eh, I don't have the time to worry about it now, I guess. Moving on, I've got a job for the university this weekend with ~rekkar, we're hosting our university stall at Brisbane Supanova Pop Culture Expo, which should be a lot of work but fun. Unfortunately the people I've contacted had just gotten back to me and told me they don't even know what it IS, let alone our expected involvement or the help I needed from them.

Epic ack!

But! Must remain happy, tallyho! >w< / I'm now contactable as I will have (hopefully) internet reliably every day, for at least two weeks until the approximated time of the auction. I'll keep you posted and updated with what's going on with that I guess, and I apologize again for what must seem like a random whinge in my journal. I'm just a bit concerned about this whole house-sale thing, but I suppose things can't really get too bad and we'll sort it out! I mostly just wanted to let everybody know that I am indeed alive and kicking, at least for the moment!

Toodlepip and much love!

[+ obligatory msn fanarts]
_{Oh, and that reminds me. Thank you very much to the people who voted for 'SparkleDesu' and left lovely comments on my poll or were generally supportive. I.. honestly don't think I can say or express how much it means, or why it means so much. I'll try to post more, and perhaps I'll try and do more fanart and less fangirling, as I have already been shot a few times in the past for the latter, like the following.}

And Tropical Cyclone Hamish is now and ex-tropical cyclone and has just become a low weather front or whatever that means. BUT WE ARE SAFE, THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS!

Edit again: Just got told that there were also some minor EARTHQUAKES down south in Melbourne a few days ago........ ... WATER, FIRE, WIND, EARTH; IT'S CAPTAIN DESTROY AUSTALIA! ;o;

To the north: Terrible floods!
To the south: Massive Bush Fires! (and also apparently some earth tremours! O: )
In the middle: Severe Tropical Cyclone Hamish!

WHEEEEEEE~

I'm in the middle, guys, as in... well, where I am at my parents is in the exact predicted path of the cyclone. Apparently it's very similar to the 1974 Cyclone Tracy in Darwin, which wiped out the entire northern capital in a single night. Hamish is a level 4-5 tropical cyclone; you cannot get stronger than 5! <8D ;;;

Recent forecasts have Hamish as moving out from the land and into the sea, weakening down to a still very dangerous category 4 cyclone, and hopefully dispersing off the coast. However, our fear now is that Hamish may move back to land after having strengthened over the sea and hit us at full strength again. (I'm in that place called 'Tewantin', there)

I'm set to evacuate back to Brisbane tomorrow at about midday, although I'm not sure if I can convince my parents to come and I don't know if I want to go without them, but I may have to take the grandparents away with me, so ahhh... T__T

Aieeee, so basically I'm kinda scared. ;o; But hopefully everything will be alright and he will in fact just disappate or hit at a lower strength, that would be nice. The trees are already flattening in strong winds here, as my parents live on a hill in the middle of some hinterland; the forest is just going 'fwoooosh' and flattening in the wind, it's kinda cool. n_n ;;

I just wanted to give everybody a warning in case I disappear, so that you know.. err. Well, what's happened! If I successfully evacuate before they shut down the train lines or the roads get blocked/flooded/etc I'll let you all know..

Other than that, I love you aaaall~! ^_^




_{p.s. And here's some things drawn on msn! I'll put up a few because I keep forgetting. Is this a good idea? I don't know if anyone cares particularly. 8D It's kind of hard to find things small enough for my journal and that aren't part of... other storylines etcetc. XD}

_{You weren't expecting anything with my OWN characters, were you? ~<33}

I HATE PHONE COMPANIES. DDDX I would type up a huge ranty journal about all the horrible things that happened in one go and that are stopping us from getting internet, along with about six new and large expenses that we can't defeat and that we shouldn't have even had to pay because a company completely ripped us off without telling us. ;n; But I don't want to bring the mood down, and we'll just be having to deal with it anyway! So! XD

Everybody take care, hopefully I'll be back on regularly soon, but by then I predict that my university will be kicking in again with a bit of vigour, and my time will be limited anyway. Ffff. T_T

We've still got a huge amount of money to pay out for transferring accounts and bonds and we still haven't heard about our bond from our old agents... I really hope they give it back to us. We didn't damage the house AT ALL and it was clean and sparkley when we left, but apparently they normally try to not give it back if they can? DD8> *money need need need ahh bills T_T*

That's probably about all really~! Basically things are going pretty good, but I'll be around less when university goes back. But yaaaay!

I should try and keep this journal small and concise where I can. Also I thought, maybe I should post little scribbles or msn drawings or things in here, while I still have my subscription, although it runs out very very soon. <8D; Would anyone be interested in buying me one of those for a commission maybe? I think it's about the same price as what I was already charging, though I haven't looked for quite some time. 8D

Wooooo~ Probably followed by several days of cleaning and, worse still, possibly followed by three weeks wait for the internet to be connected at our new place...




I cannot be without you guys for this long! ;o; Need all my lovely friennnddss~ ;n; *wibble* I will die if I can't see you all! >A< Not for three weeks. DDX

I'm hoping I can find an easy way around this, okayokay? I might just retreat to my parents house, but if I do that I will still be restricted in my computer access, but it's not NONE, right?

;3; I love you all! I'm excited and nervous about moving, but we're moving in with some awesome peoples and basically it's gonna be so much better than the dump we're currently in. Woo! o3o

Byeee~

After the feedback on that ultimately glitchy poll which I still can't edit, I'm opening up commissions! I wouldn't really call them sketch commissions, but they aren't clean, pen tool lineart, either. It's sort of... uh... maybe toned and cleaned sketches? Idunno, either way, here's some examples.

Example 1 _{(yeah guys no comment on the fangirling, okay? =w= )}
Example 2 _{(wow, two out of my three examples have Climber in them. 8D )}
Example 3

Anyway, yes, that sort of a style I guess! It rather varies I suppose, but that general idea. At the moment I'm asking $10 USD (to make it easier for everyone XD), as that was the option that won out on my poll. However if I get too many, which I think is highly unlikely, as I don't really even expect to get any, I may have to bump the price up a bit. =w=

I'm perfectly happy to talk to people and stuff though, if you want to get multiple characters or super extra details or anything like that, or if you wanted to be overly generous for some reason, then extra effort automatically goes in! <8D I can take this on an individual basis or whatever 'coz I don't really know what's a good price... would $16 be good for two characters, $21 for three? Maybe? I don't knowww~~ <8D ;;

I dunno, I've never successfully taken commissions before, people never paid. =w= But okay, I'll make and update a list if I get any people wanting commissions in this style. If you like you can register interest, err, I guess that's reserving a spot, via a note! I won't start working until I recieve payment though. ^^'

SO. After my great big ramble..

Toned/Cleaned Sketchy one character full body commissions at $10 USD.

I think I can only accept payment through paypal at the moment. My paypal account is under this email address, duckietastic@hotmail.com, and I guess if you DO want a commission, you'll have to tell me your dA name there so I know you've paid.

I hope that makes sense! ^^' Blatherblather! *returns to packing for moving*

But the owner seems really quite rude, and he was being pretty brash to the agents who were on the phone to him, as far as I could tell. So basically, he refused to fix out apartment, and then refused to give us suitable compensation and said we had to take what we were offered or nothing at all. We could have continued it in the magistrates court, but we can't really be bothered! ^^' We've come up short, but I guess we'll manage, whee!

Ohwell! Pre-Battle Dance party, anyone? <8D ;

End Update.



Today we're going up against our landlord/real estate agents in order to complain for the fact that for five months we've been living without the greater portion of our kitchen, since after a pipe burst and they knocked down our chipboard shelves, nothing has been fixed, despite my constantly calling and asking whyyyyyyyyyy?

I CANNOT COOK IN THESE CONDITIONS!

Wish us luck! We already know we're moving out, we're moving in with some other friends, one of whom is the marvelous ~androidK18, and there shall be much crazytiems. But right now we just want some kind of compensation for the fact we've been paying full rent (at $300 p/w which is a real struggle to us. xD) for near slum conditions due to not having enough storage space to put anything and agents who refused to do anything.

Time to put the dancin' shoes on! HUUURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Alternatively, Rekkar has done a post on livejournal which is quite similar,
[link] and has some hilarious captions, and I’d suggest checking out anyway (all my pictures are the same as hers mind, so) and she also has some more photos on her photo bucket account, here. but if you want descriptions and actually want to KNOW about what happened, you’re gonna have to read what’s below. >w<

I must to sleep now, so if you spot any broken links or anything, let me know and I’ll fix it in the morning! ^_^



Day 1 – Plane; Brisbane, Australia to London, England
Royal Brunei! Woo! We got fed NON-STOP on this flight, I swear. It was amazing, and the food was great. For a plane it was pretty comfortable, although my ears always get bad pressure buildups, but still. It was great, although very long AND our in flight entertainment was a bit broken… however I indulged myself in Mumma Mia again. Oh ABBA. I love you shamelessly and the plane hated my singing. XD We had set downs in Brunei and Dubai before reaching London Heathrow Airport. It took us 28hours to reach Heathrow and we arrived about 16 hours after we left home. WHY TIME ZONES, WHY?

Day 1 (take two, seeing as we kind of lived it twice) – Scotland, Edinburgh
We went from London Heathrow airport and then immediately got on a train to Edinburgh, it was great except for the fact that we didn’t have any reserved seats and the train was full, so uhm… we had to stand for 3 and a half hours? But it was still awesome; the countryside is beautiful and it was INSANE watching things going from green paddocks with white sheep to white snowy paddocks (I presume still with sheep? XD Invisi-sheep!) We got to Edinburgh and found our hotel and wandered back out to check some Christmas Markets, saw the Wheel of Edinburgh (This is a chain of Ferris Wheels. I will tell you every town there was one in. xD) and then just went to sleep pretty quick coz we were tired as. Woo!

Day 2 – Scotland, Edinburgh
We had a tour out to the Scottish highlands this day; it was amazing. There was so much SNOW OH GOSH. We don’t have snow in Australia where I live (up in some mountains down south, but yeah… not here!) and it was incrediibbblleee. Plus we met a Scottish cow called Hamish. <8D We also purchased Pot Noodles! However they weren’t in pots, they were in packets, and were cleverly called ‘Wot? Not-In-A-Pot Noodles’.

Day 3 – Scotland, Edinburgh
Today we stayed in the city and walked down Princes Street and then we decided to go and check out the castle which is RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY. Did I mention that it was something like -1’c? In Australia it’s summer at the moment, and where I live is averaging from 23-36’c. So yeah, the cold was pretty sweet. o3o It was frosting and there was ICE ON THE GROUND and I could crack it with my boots and there was a bit of snow in the curbs and stuff and I was well excited. *w* Anyway, keep in mind that frost as I begin to tell you the adventure of how we went to a super beautiful graveyard in Scotland with graves older than any building in this tiny-new-baby country, and then we went up to Edinburgh castle. Sounds not so bad; did we take the path? No. Did we climb THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN? Ohyes. 8D Did we almost die and fall down onto the traintracks waiting eagerly below? Moreyes. But still, it was amazing fun, although terrifying. Frost made it impossible for us to use the path, so we were clutching at grass and rock and roots; but when we got to the castle it was super cool and we saw all these cool exhibits and they set off a gun! And there were crown jewels! And I caught a pidgeon with my BARE HANDS. It kind of flew into them; aahh, I love birds. @w@

Day 4- Belfast, Northern Ireland
Woke up ridiculously early in order to trek via train from Edinburgh to Glascow, from Glasgow to Stranraer and from Stranraer we were to get on a Ferry and cross the Irish Sea. I was just expecting, y’know, a ferry. What we got was a CRUISE LINER, I SWEAR. It had an entire shopping mall inside. <8D Insaneeee. When we got to Ireland, the bus guy pulled a horrible prank on us and freaked us out by telling us that he hadn’t picked up our bags. Ohgod I almost had a heart attack. T_T

Day 5 – Belfast, Northern Ireland
We decided it was about time we eat a proper meal that wasn’t Tesco noodles or ₤1 sausage buns. So we bought a breakf... ]]> =Teloka http://Teloka.deviantart.com/journal/22402999/ http://Teloka.deviantart.com/journal/22402999/ Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:14:49 PST
I'll do a proper update in a few days what with stories and photos and things, and I have done a lot of artworks (although a lot of them are gifts which I may not share here on dA. ^^). For now I want to just say thank you to the wonderful mister ~Kawttus for again giving me the gift of a dA subscription (and on my birthday as well! ^w^) and also say hello to my new devwatchers, and also...


Her deviation with the most comments is + with only a violin + with 78 comments, and it is also her most favourited, with 89 favourites.

I BLAME KARL. =.= mygosh. That's my most recent picture.... KARL KARL IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT.

Also, thanks to everybody who has already welcomed me back over msn and skype and stuff. @w@ Made me feel all giddy and happy!

Catcha in a little over a month; I expect to see everybody all bright and bubbly after the Christmas break!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year all!

I miss you all already even though I haven't left, and especially you (even though we have left?), and you'll know who you are!

Much loves!

ps. I realized that if anybody has arranged a meetup, you might need to know what I look like! Well, uh..



Like a dork, basically. xD This is kind of my normal outfit, but my pink boots are out of commission now though.. I AM SO SAD DDDD8 Also, I will probably be wearing this jacket all the time I'm in England, because it will be COLD. OI.

I'll also be with that other dork there. XD

Me and mah flatmate ~rekkar are going on a trip over to the United Kingdom, Paris and Ireland for a month! A whole month!! I am epically excited because I have ALWAYS wanted to visit these places incredibly much, although very sad as well because I am going to miss everybody here soooo much. ;3;

We leave Australia on the 30th of Novemeber and reach Scotland on the 1st December, then we trek around out to Ireland, back to the Motherlaaaaand, down to Wales.. We are celebrating Christmas in London with my parents who are also goining away (after the loss of my grandmother, they just wanted a break from 'here'.) and we're going to be having New Years Eve in Paris! I need to brush up on my French! o3o''

We're going twice (once at Wembley on the 15th Dec, once in Manchester on the 23rd Dec)to see a live show called The Mighty Boosh, and even going to a book signing in Leeds on my birthday! *squees* How wonderful! ^w^

Anyway, we come back from London on the 3rd of Janurary and get in on the 5th! I should be back on line by the 7th at the latest... someone's birthday is near there that I can't afford to miss! xD And speaking of birthdays, mine is on the 10th of December! I'll be 19.. Niiiiiiineteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen. How old ohmaegawd. o.o' And still not wanting to be doing any of the things I'm legally allowed to do. *winner!*

So I'll miss that unfortunately, but I can definately say I will come back more travelled and older! But perhaps no wiser... xD We are back packing because we're students with NO MONEY, so I hope it isn't going to be too scary. o3o''

I'm also going to miss Christmas with everybody.. but I implore you all to have a fantastic one! Imagine I'm sending you Merry Christmas kisses on the 25th! <3

Anyway! Uhm, another question! Would anybody who lives in the areas we're visiting like to meet up? We'd love to meet up with online friends and stuff. ^_^ Erm... so yeah! If you do, drop me a note or a comment or something! o3o And we should try and arrange a time, although I know it's a super busy time around Christmas for people, so.. but still! I love to meet people! We could have drawing fun on napkins or.. something! ^_^

I guess I really should start trying to wrap this up now, it's quite long..

OH YES the tournament!

Sorry about the incompleted-ness of my entry, I really do hope to fix that up. Originally I was terrified that my going away was going to result in me being FORCED to forfeit this round, but the tournament is taking a break over this coming month anyway for stress-free holidays and so the NPC matches can be created by the judges. ^^ (I am not going to hold any illusions that I will win, anyway. Have you seen miss ~Caretaker-of-Myth's INSANELY INCREDIBLE AND EPIC entry? It completely took my breath away; so many twists and turns and what an ending! oAo I cried, I truly did! You can start reading it here! She is a mind-blowing writer and even managed to do some incredible comics for her insanely epic ending! o3o ilu!)

Anyway, I have tried to respond to all of the comments and devwatches and favourites I have been unable to do so in the past two months due to rushing (really! There were comments from the 1st of October I hadn't yet responded to until a day ago. oAo I'm so sorry!) and I just want to thank all my new watchers once again! Although, I don't know if you will read all the way down to here, because it is epically long and quite rambley. ^^' if you do, thank you very much! o3o

I love everybody, and I look forward to pouncing you all again lots when I get back! Hopefully I will be able to do lots of sketching on the planes and trains... I've got almost 48 hours of travelling in a plane to get from Australia to England.... We are so far away from anything ever... ;A;

I don't know if, at any point, I will be able to access the internet... I doubt it.. but if I do, I will try and post and update to let you know how I am going! But.. if I don't, I am probably still fine, just unable to afford internet wherever I am! XD *poor/starving art student time!*

Take care folks! I'll be responding to comments as I get the time before I go, and I'll update this journal just before I cut off my computer, which obviously I'm not taking with me. x3

Teloka Berry, over and out and heading to the motherland! o3o

Toodlepip!

Remaining that way, so busy so busy I won't be back for at least 5 days ahhh noo soo busy. and then I'm going on vacation for a month on the 30th of November.. have I said that already? @__@ well I am, to England and the UK and Ireland and-

no can't talk so busy.

I just really want to apologize to everybody who I haven't been talking to or replying to I'm really sorry ahh I love you all chuu<3

Oh, round three, I was practically going to forfeit because I have NOT STARTED due to university and it's due in 5 days, and I won't be ABLE to start until there is AT MOST 78 hours left until the deadline. but miss Caretaker deserves better than that, so instead I am going to do the entire round in that time.

Oh yes. ENTIRE ROUND. in that time. Aguuhhh you deserve better. T__T

More later, sorry guys, ahhhmygooddd.

Round 3 Progress against Miss ~Caretaker-of-Myth- Scripted (32pages of script..ohhhhsh-... ). Due November 17</sub> ]]> =Teloka http://Teloka.deviantart.com/journal/20753321/ http://Teloka.deviantart.com/journal/20753321/ Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:43:02 PDT NightmareTournament. My first round opponent, miss ~Overshadowed wrote an amazing story, which you should all go read! Cover Page, then part one!(it sounds like it starts at the end, but it doesn't! miss Erin is just very clever. @3@ )

My second round opponent is miss *Yhu047's Krea, a sadistic demon girl of the same age as Peggy! Oh my! This should be very interesting!

I feel I should say that I'm not animating this round, for several reasons... My story so far is way too big to animate, I'm including lots of cameo's and it's just generally scoping up to be too long! and I haven't finished my intermission picture yet! bwaah! o3o

Also, I've been rather snowed under by university and real life commitments; our uni year is wrapping up and so it's getting hard because all the HUGE ASSIGNMENTS are due. Eeeeek! *panic panic*

Aanndd finally, my wonderful friends have refused to let me animate, because they're too concerned about my health. Daww. <33 Those people who stood by me and helped me with the round one entry (Especially those people who stayed up with me on all nighters and lost sleep themselves in order to encourage me; geez. Wow.) Thank you so much. I can't... express with words how touched I am. I don't think I deserve it, but thank you everyone for your support and kind words!

Also, I just wanted to say in case anyone is concerned, I've been given an extension by the very generous host and judges of the tournament *chuu*, so hopefully that'll work for the best. Expressions are taking me an incredibly long time! T__T'

I just don't have the time, I'm really really sorry. Chatting just takes me when I start, I cannot focus on anything else and I spend 6 hours just sitting there drawing MSN ink drawings with friends. It's so lovely I forget the time.

This round... It's due on Wednesday which is three and a bit days away, and I'm struggling with it as it is; I don't even know if I could get it finished if I worked on it 24/7 nonstop, which I am hoping to be able to do. Coffee coffee coffee coffee. I'm sure I'm doing everything the long way, but wah, I just don't know!

Again, I'm really sorry, but I wanted to make this journal to explain. I'll be contactable through notes for emergencies and whathave you; I'm so sorry everybody! I love you, I just don't want to let anybody, especially my poor opponent who I owe something better, down.

I hope I'm not bothering you or interupting anything, but I was wondering if I could ask you a question.

[7:50:07 PM] Teloka Berry says: Hello there sir!

[7:50:15 PM] Teloka Berry says: Of course you may! ^^

[7:50:31 PM] Kawttus says: Thank you. If you gave someone a gift secretly, but they didn't know about it, should you tell them that you gave it? Or keep it a mysterious secret?

[7:50:43 PM] Teloka Berry says: ....

[7:51:14 PM] Teloka Berry says: Depends on if the person on the recieving end was desperately wanting to thank the person who gave them the gift.

[7:51:39 PM] Teloka Berry says: XD

[7:52:27 PM] Kawttus says: But, how would you know if that's what they want to do?

[7:53:28 PM] Teloka Berry says: Hmm, well, if the gifted-person asked for the giving person to come forward at some point, it probably means that they want to thank the giving person in question. Or they may or may not have said it somewhere else.

[7:53:34 PM] Teloka Berry says: YOU ARE BEING AWFULLY CRYPTIC THERE, SIR.

[7:54:27 PM] Kawttus says: No, I am not, miss. This is a totally rhetorical question.

[7:56:13 PM] Teloka Berry says: Hmm. Well, then rhetorically, I would say it might depend on the purpose of the gift. If it definately had to be a secret or was to someone who you thought might not appreciate the gift, then I would suggest not saying anything.

[7:56:48 PM] Teloka Berry says: If it was say, to try and appease someone who was angry or to try and repair burnt bridges, it might be best not to say anything and simply hope that the reciever feels better after obtaining said gift.

[7:57:44 PM] Kawttus says: Uh... how's the subscription?

[8:00:02 PM] Teloka Berry says: hawtawtaw

[8:00:21 PM] Teloka Berry says: Was it you, sir? ^^

[8:00:50 PM] Kawttus says: Where would you get a silly idea like that?

[8:01:01 PM] Teloka Berry says: T_______________________________________________________T

[8:02:18 PM] Teloka Berry says: *flails*

[8:03:39 PM] Kawttus says: Well, what if it was me?

[8:03:59 PM] Teloka Berry says: Then I would want to give you something in return, good sir! But I would not know, pray tell, what to give. Rhetorically.

[8:05:42 PM] Kawttus says: Rhetoically speaking, what if the person who gave the gift, was shy about saying that they gave something.

[8:06:49 PM] Teloka Berry says: Rhetorically speaking, using rhetorics for this long tends to mean you should probably stop speaking rhetorically! ;D

[8:07:57 PM] Teloka Berry says: But I would say if the person who gave the gift was shy, that perhaps the person who recieved the gift was both shy and estatic about recieving it. Of course, I suppose that depends on who the person who recieved the gift is, I am speaking from my own perspective in my suggestion about emotional reactions, in the hope it might correspond to this rhetorical reciever of gifts.

[8:08:33 PM] Kawttus says: Wow, you're good.

[8:08:43 PM] Teloka Berry says: ;D

[8:08:54 PM] Teloka Berry says: Thank you, sir. A good battle of rhetorics! 8D

[8:12:31 PM] Kawttus says: What does the giver of gifts say then?

[8:13:04 PM] Teloka Berry says: The giver of gifts must confess!

[8:13:48 PM] Kawttus says: What if they don't?

[8:14:14 PM] Teloka Berry says: hmmm.

[8:14:23 PM] Teloka Berry says: Depends again on the reciever of the gift!

[8:14:37 PM] Teloka Berry says: The reciever of the gift may be quite distressed that they do not know who to thank for the gift.

[8:16:39 PM] Kawttus says: What if the giver of gifts would like to confess, but didn't know how to say it?

[8:18:57 PM] Teloka Berry says: Then I would wonder why it is that the giver of the gift was so nervous; clearly the person who they gave the gift to would be glad to thank them, unless of course the giver and reciever of this mysterious gift were for some reason not on good terms, as I state before. However if the gift giving occured between friends, I personally would not understand what there would be for anybody to be nervous or unsure about. Does not stop the wayward emotion, of course. Rhetorical emotions can be very difficult to deal with, for rhetorical people.

[8:20:03 PM] Kawttus says: The giver of gifts just feels weird about taking credit.

[8:21:19 PM] Teloka Berry says: Do they now? That is unfortunate! Giving gifts is a wonderful thing, and it is of course better to give than recieve (as credit can indeed be classed as recieving). however it is possible that the reciever of the intial gift would dearly like for their mysterious benefactor to recieve something in return, so that they too can par... ]]> =Teloka http://Teloka.deviantart.com/journal/20418923/ http://Teloka.deviantart.com/journal/20418923/ Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:38:16 PDT
1. Wear waterproof makeup. I didn't, and that was a mistake.
2. My family are some of the most beautiful people in the world. o3o
3. They look warm, they really do, but they aren't. They're so, so cold.
4. Being the strongest is the hardest, I think. I'm sorry, I wanted to be strong for everyone else. Miss Caretaker, you were right. <3

In other news, everything was beautiful and went wonderful. I miss her, but I am happy for her. =3 The celebrant read some lovely little poems or snippets that really made a lot of sense. Hit home, but made sense.

Take care, Nan. I can't see you, but I know you'll never leave us. =3

I've been working on the *NightmareTournament round one entry against miss ~Overshadowed, which for some stupid reason I decided to animate! Against three characters! Waaah! I've scripted, storyboarded, keyframed and I'm now up to smoothing it out with inbetweens and doing backgrounds.

I stayed up all last night to get it done alongside uni work (haven't slept in 36 hours or something) and ended up spending heaps of time chatting instead, haha, I'm hopeless. but I did manage to have a marvelous brainstorming session with miss ~Caretaker-of-Myth and we came up with a whole slew of ideas for Synth. Haha!

Ohwell! I'm getting there, HOPEFULLY I'm going to be able to get everything together for this round 1 entry. I don't wanna have to forfeit, I think miss ~Overshadowed deserves as good a fight as I can give!

I'm getting together voice actors as well, so hopefully all of that's going to go smoothly. *crosses fingers* I'm hoping my personal delays don't set me back too much and that I can get everything I need to complete finished.

I'll probably have to pull more than one all nighter, but eh, it happens! And I drink coffee now; I BLAME YOU FOR CREATING THIS MONSTER. The three of you know who you are! xD

First off I think it's imperative to know that I'm an incredibly family oriented person. In primary school teachers would say "Who has the biggest family?" and I would say I had six people in my family home, which is strange because I'm an only child. My mum, dad, Mum's Mum and Dad's parents and I all live in one large house, and so we've always been very close. I still find it wierd to think that my grandparents have other grandchildren, because we live in a kind of bubble.

My grandmother (mum's mum) has been incredibly ill lately; she's had a lot of strokes. She's been in aged care for some time because several years ago she lost the ability to move, and for about a year she's been having trouble speaking. We visited her very often, I unfortunately live several hours away and only got to see her once a fornight, but Mum was with her almost every day all the time she was in the home.

She got incredibly ill a few days ago, and I came home at the soonest chance I could, but I wasn't quick enough. I didn't get to say goodbye to her, and she passed before I could make it.

I'm so sorry for the journal yesterday, I went into shock. We had fair warning, but of course I still didn't want it to happen. But I learned that it was very peaceful, and my mother and uncle were with her when it happened, and Nan went from being in pain to breathing with ease and eventually sleep. I think she is more comfortable wherever she is now.

She was a beautiful and gorgeous woman who would never disagree to argue with anything, entirely selfless and warm hearted. All the carers said Nan was their favourite charge because she was polite and never asked or complained about anything. I hope I can learn from her, and I hope she can be remembered for the vibrant woman she was, not how she became in the past few years.

<3

Again, everybody, I am very, very sorry for going crazy like I did, I was very lost. Thank you everyone who has given me kind words, you are all beautiful.

I made a Peggy Figurine in my lifedrawing class, but this time hid her from the teacher. =3 She was difficult to get standing upright and steady and balanced; true to form she falls down alot. And gravity is eventually going to push the skirt flat I think. xD

Sappy tiem.

I think yesterday was one of the best days of my life eveerrrr. And not just for one reason, or two reasons, just... overall, it was an amazing day. Nothing went wrong at all. 83

My parents took me to an amazing Mexican lunch which was lovely and yet cheap and tasted sooo good, and then I got to drive around in the late afternoon sun with the long shadows (my favourite time of the day to be driving) and we had my music playing the car and it was awesoommme. Then we had Chai tea on the verandah and it was so nice, and I was just so relaxed and happy already because I've been getting all my university assignments done and I've been really enjoying this semester and I've got a To-Do List and I'm actually getting the things on it doonnne omg.

And then I decided to get online, and the first thing I see is a gift of Peggy from =Demonic-Apricot in my devwatch and I just gurgle and die because it is ADORABLE. Among all the other ones she's drawn for me, omg Demmy ilu.

So I got on a chat to thank her, and then recieved more gifts and just about exploded. I don't often get gift art or anything, and I always really love it, so I'd just about melted by this point. To continue, I would just like to say that all my friends are absolutely amazing. They did some beautiful things for me and I felt very special all night, and most of all people just talked to me and were very sweet and ahhhh.

I just.. this sounds pathetic and I'm sure I'm being silly, but I just want everyone to know how much I appreciate it. Even the littlest things. Just talking to me in the chat or putting up with my giggly hysteria and contantly incoherant rambling and non-stop chattering. I really love you all. 83

Thank you everyone and everything who made my yesterday so great! There was only one bad thing that happened in the entire day, and that was that my grandparents picked all the passionfruit off the bush (even the green ones) and because they picked it early it's going to go off and to waste instead of getting fresh. So hopefully that gives you an idea of just how awesome my day was.

Ahhhh.

ps. I apologize if I'm taking a really long time to getting around to commenting on anything or being up to date on deviations. I have OVER TWO THOUSAND and it's taking forevaaarr. VISUAL PROOF.
pps. One of those messages is a comment by *spookydoom, which I am getting to, I promise! I just don't want to respond to it empty handed without a picture. 83

Isn't he adorable? 8D He's made with plasticine; we had a life drawing class where we're moddling the human torso out of plasticine, and the model kept taking breaks. So while she did that, I worked on something more fun and cute instead. 83

I got in trouble at the end of the class for 'wasting time on strange whims', but I think it's totally worth it. He's also slightly moveable, because the plasticine is still softish (I haven't baked it or anything). He's stiffened up a bit since I made him because once you start working with the plasticine it becomes more maleable, but it's still not entire fixed. He can wave, look, sit or stand! Or hold his pickaxe! Eeeeee.

More pictures! Sorry for the bad photos, I've got no photography skill so some are a bit blurry. T.T

The best part is that it's good practice for the plushie I intend to make very soon. Getting an idea of the 3D shapes and stuff. Eeeeee. *flail*

I apologize for being so sickeningly absent! I kid you not, we've been pretty much run off our feet here. T_T' We're on uni holidays now, and we were working pretty much non-stop during uni which was kind of why I went absent for so long. We do have internet back now, we got it back a while ago, but like I said; super busy!

I've accumulated masses and masses of messages, I kind of had to go through and delete all the journals, because I had in excess of 700, and I simply don't have the time to read them all, I'm really sorry. If something epicically important or amazing has happened, please let me know!

I tend to update my livejournal slightly more because I don't mind posting random screamy all-caps posts there, and I try to keep here slightly more organized! ^^

I AM still doing artwork, but again, it's been really really busy and I haven't posted or really finished anything. Heaps has been going on; even after uni there was two weeks of comedy at South Bank (which is where Rekkar and I live) and we've been going to that and meeting comedians and such, which is handy because Rekkar and I are trying to start ourselves up as comedians now! I'll let those of you who may be interested in that know what's going on, but we submitted to a competition on the ABC and we're waiting to hear back, but we're also working on some stand up. So. Fingers crossed that people are laughing with us not just at us! XD

The next page of Synth is pretty much finished, I've just been a bit too embarassed to upload it considering how LONG IT HAS TAKEN, and because I don't think I'm really going to be able to draw out the rest of it. *EPIC FAIL CRYING BAWLING* But! I do have a great idea of how I think I can actually get the rest of my story arc out and have it not just be a story. What if I did like an illustrated story? I'm still utterly obsessed with the characters and worlds and everything that I've wound into Synth so I don't want people to think that I'm just abandoning the project. (Caretaker, I still love you even though we never seem to talk on MSN anymore probably because I've been so busy I'm really sorry! <3)

What do people think? I don't think I can continue Synth as a full comic story; it's really difficult for me to create comics 'coz I'm pretty much terrible at it. xD but what would people think if I kind of did an illustrated story? I like to think that I'm quite good at writing, and I could do various stages of artwork for it. Sketches, full coloured things, whatever I had time to do. I could make like an LJ community and post it all there or something. I could also post other things I've done relating to the story/characters (like a fanmix; helpmeI'mapatheticfangirl)

If I had a subscription I'd make a poll about this, but.. yeah. I dunno. I also still really want to animate the little character battle we had ideas for, Caretaker; I don't know if I'll have the time but I still desperately want to. xD Anyway.

Oh! I'm going to England at the end of the year! With Rekkar! We're going to London and travelling around from the 30th of November to the 3rd of Janurary; we have to be in Manchester by the 23rd of December beacause we're seeing the Mighty Boosh live but that's about it! We'd love to meet up/stay with people, etc!

AAaaaannd I'm going to Melbourne on the 15th-19th of July! SCRIIIIII. I WILL BE SO CLOSE BUT SO FAR. <33

Anywaaayy, I hope everybody is well and stuff, and now that we've got a little bit of actual REAL FREE TIME OH GOD FREE TIME I'll try really hard to up to date my artwork and stuff here and stay active! I've got about 2000 deviations to get through, which is going to be unpleasant without a subscription, to say the least! XD Huzzah!

I LOVE EVERYBODY!

I apologise insanely for being so epically slow. With everything. I am really sorry. I am still doing things, mostly scribbles, because University has been eating all of my time. It's been pretty busy and hectic.

Also, Gurt is moving out tomorrow after a few weeks of planning. As a result he's disconnected our internet so Rekkar and I have none, so I'm typing this from uni while running very late for class! Meep!

Anyway, that's all. I really hope I'll be able to upload some of my sketches or... or anything. I've got the third page of synth pretty much done but I can't upload it now anyway, so I'm really sorry. I need to add speech bubbles, but... gaahh. I'm really sorry guys!

Much loves and huggles! <33

Also, University has gone back and we've been dropped right into the middle of some glorious assignments- ho-hum. I've also let myself be pretty swept up in the current season of Torchwood _{(oh please somebody know what show I'm talking about here!)}, and I've actually spent a good bit of time fangirling over than when I could certainly have been doing more useful things!

I'm thinking I might have to get a livejournal just for the icons! Darn you Jack and Ianto, why are you so adorable?

Speaking of livejournals, one of the requirements of our Pre-Production course at Uni was that we had to make a journal and update it *coughregularlycough* with concepts and such for class and the like. I'm, of course, terrible at this. But I do have one, so I figured I may as well let everybody know where it us!

Sky Pepper - Teloka's PreProduction and Concepts Journal.

Needs a bit of layout work, but I'll get to it at some point! Moar lazytiem now please! Some of you might recognise the name 'Sky Pepper', most of you probably won't. It's essentially my label/company/studio/whichever; there'll be more of it at some point in the future. :) Oh, on the subject of fashion, did I mention Mum and I (mostly Mum at the moment) are making Giselle's Wedding Dress from Enchanted for a cosplay convention coming up soon? Haha. I love pouf!

Anyway, I hope everybody is well! Again, I apologise sincerly for the veryvery slow updates in absolutely all regards. I just feel massively unmotivated at the moment; I might put it down to university starting back (and this time-draining need to read cute pg fluffy Janto fics. wryyyyyyyyy???//)

Take care folks! Love you all! <3

And because I didn't want to leave you with NOTHING...

I couldn't resist trying to make an SDL styled Teloka after drawing so much for the contest; surprisingly everything she's wearing was available in the timeframe (or so wiki tells me, I checked around!). I figured she'd be pretty much the worst ninja ever and spend all her time dancing around with bells and lots of jingly items, not being very good at hiding, suffering from many hyperactivity disorders and with her head permantly in the clouds so as to never notice anything that might ever be attacking her, so she doesn't carry a weapon, so I wouldn't know how she'd fight. hoorah! Besides, I think there's only like.. 5 people I'd want to battle in the SDL, and they've each got 5 million people wanting to duel them too. So, no formal entry. I'm considering The Cure though. ;D

So, my comic will hopefully be culminating at some point with an animated OC duel between myself and ~Caretaker-of-Myth (Note: that's animated only on my behalf, she is hoping to do a comic. :3 ). I can't really say too much more about it now, but it's something we've both been working on- we both wanted to try our hands at an OC Battle so we figured this was a great way to go about it!

Now, I've been scoping around trying to find musics that I might possibly put this animation to, and I found a few brilliant ones on Newgrounds.com; most specifically I am thinking of using this one (for reasons which will become clear later.) The music is going to be really important in this battle because Teloka's powers are based on it, and this song is pretty brilliant. However although the song itself is under creative commons license, it is a remix of an original. I know dA are very particular about sound clips in animations, and I would not want to go to a lot of effort just to have my animation removed for violation of something; even if the song I used was under creative commons license but the song it remixed wasn't.

I don't know the dA policy on this exact.. problem. I couldn't really find it anywhere in the FAQ and I'm thinking of just contacting the help desk to ask them, but I thought perhaps someone might have some experience or knowledge in the matter and might be able to save me troubling the admins. ^^

That's about all really! University goes back in about two weeks and I'm still fighting against this contest to try and get it done on time; so far I'm still struggling to finish the first 27 members of the Gokiburi-Gumi, I don't know if I'm going to be able to include the total 42 (and still growing) that I counted at a re-count the other day, but I suppose I'll be trying as hard as I can!

I'm excited about Synth, the fan comic as well. Hopefully everybody else is, and hopefully I can update it some time soon again. =3 I'm also really really looking forward to animating the battle; I've been practicing animating in flash a bit, but I'm not very good. I'm itching to see Teloka's powers animated and in action; on the same note I'm thinking I'd love to enter her in a proper tournament, so I could do more with her powers. I suppose that too, will be played by ear. ^^

Actually, two amazing things happened! And both made me incredibly happy! It is amazing how much a little act of kindness can really make this already happy girl overflow with complete delight! And everything goes pink and bubbly! ^_^

I can only talk about one here, and I will do so like this!



Go and love on her and her art! She's wonderful! ^_^ AND YES YOU ARE YOU KNOW IT. =3 I got sent a link to this after a long and boring train trip, and it made me so happy. Look at how beautiful it is! And Teloka looks so cute in her adaptation of Unknown's style! =3

Thank you online friends; you are amazing! 8D

That is all!

lol Scrii! Why are you never online anymore? T__T

Not a lot to update with; haven't seen any movies for a while! ;D Although we did watch The Labyrinth the other night- David Bowie was incredibly frightening in that movie! I'm surprised I've managed to avoid ever seeing it before actually. My parents probably didn't like it or something!

I've been doing a lot of these, because their really fun. 8D But I'm not posting them; they're all the same pairing anyway!

I've also been developing some of my characters a bit more; I want to make some sort of comic project, yet I'm certain I'm too lazy/not prolific enough with my art to be able to carry it through. Plus Rekkar and I have our comic project we really gotta do. Plus I'm still working on that contest!

What else what else... we had an Australia Day party at a friends house (where we went swimming and unlike the rest of Australia we drank NO BEER.), and yesterday we went out to an island for someone's birthday!

I want a bigger apartment/house; but we're here for another six months, soooo. Maybe after that we'll find somewhere for a good price!

I can't think of anything else to write; it's quite late. O: Oh that's right! My most recent poll; the 8 of you who voted for "You're a friend; it was obligatory! T_T" are awesome. XD BUT NO BODY VOTED FOR MY NON-EXISTANT FANARTS. D8

Sleepsleepsleepsleep! Thank you!

Here is a tiny teaser of SOMETHING EPIC that I've been working on. xDD

And here's a proper piece of stupidity for you. 8D From left to right; Rekkarthedumb, Gurtthestupid and Telokathefreak. Cheerio!

I went nutso filled my shoutboard utterly up with them. It's so much fun!

Here are some of my favourites!




Stamps are awesome. ^^ That's all really!


OH. Alvin and the Chipmunks was great. =3 And I've also started watching Pushing Daisies, which is super cute and very well written.

That is all!

And here is a photo of me, dressed for my POKEMON JOURNEY. Featuring my apron, my lazing-around-the-house-clothes (ie. non sleeping pyjamas) and Ferdinand, my realistic Duck-Plush from Gurt! ANYONE WANNA BATTLE??

I know some people were having real trouble with it before; let me know if it's good now! ^^



I have been hungry all day. It is ridiculous! Normally I try to limit what I eat (I'd like to think I'm on a diet and eat healthy.... hahaha T___T ) but today I've gone completely nutso with food! We also went to see I am Legend (although we heard it was scary, and because I'm a wuss (('Signs' really really frightened me...)) we went to see it at midday. It was still frightening, but at least there was enough time to recover!

Anyway! Food! This is what I can remember eating! (apparently cuts don't work even though there's meant to be a feature for them? D: )

1 x NECTARINE
1 x CHAI TEA
1.25 x BEEF JERKY PACKET
1 x PORK CRACKILNG
1 x LEMON LIME AND BITTERS
1 x HAM/CHEESE MAYONNAISE PIZZA
1 x DINNER (Curry mince ginger mint herb rice stuff that I made)
1 x TINY HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER/HONEY ICECREAM
AT LEAST 1 x BLACKBERRY TARTLET BISCUIT
3 x CHOCOLATE COIN (I THINK)
SOME LIME CORDIAL
15+ X MUSKS
SOME JELLIES


I'm sure there was more. but.. I do not remember it. o_o


Also. I love this song; findable on youtube here. It is awesome!

And finally, I'm entering =Endling's contest. I plan on drawing every member of the G-G and doing it to the best of my ability. Partly for fun, partly because I'd like to win! Otherwise I couldn't pick who to draw out of all the great designs. ^^ It will be no small feat, but I've started working on it! but they keep adding new members! There's 29 now! TT__TT

That is all! Lovvu everyone!

(this is in my footer, lolol. I'll add a picture here in my journal every time that otherwise would never see the interwebs. xD )

I really enjoy coding CSS and HTML actually; I used to do a lot of it, all stuff by hand (I don't like dreamweaver and such, but I know how to use them.) and it's almost relaxing. Almost. xD

Anyway! Artses all by me EXCEPT for that little bird; I got that from Rekkar who got it from somewhere probably on LJ.

Everything else by me! I might upload a bigger version of just that drawing of meeee (yesthat'smewiththeuglyface) sometime later.

But for now;

YAY CSS. I gotta figure out Topsies and Feeters sometime. =3

Heyhey, I was thinking, would anybody like to buy me a subscription in a commission sort of fashion? Like; I'd draw you a picture of whatever you liked? ^_^

I don't normally do this, but I don't have a credit card ( T___T ), and I'd really like a subscription! ^^ I'll draw anything so long as it's PG rated! ^^ I guess I'd figure out afterwards what they're worth; probably one character full coloured for a 3 month one is a good starting point- I think that's pretty good value! ^^

Anyway! Let me know if anyone's interested; otherwise I'll borrow someone's card in real life! ^_^

Christmas and New Year
<sub>Christmas is always my favourite time of year; I love spending it with my family and we all get together and it's always wonderful! It was especially good this year because I'm now living away from home, so it was a special treat for us all to be together!

This year I got quite a good haul! This included lots and lots and lots of duckies! ^_^ A multitude of DVD's, an amazing pink/yellow/orange/white striped summer dress, some hair ties for putting on my piggy-tails, some jewelery (most notable I think a stunning necklace from Gurt. Real diamond and white gold! o____o' But also including a lovely diamonte chain from Rekkar and a strawberry necklace from Tamala. OHOH and a little silver duckie necklace from Mum! Hoorah! ^^), and I got a small mechanical eraser which is awesome!</sub>

Holidays
<sub>My parents and I went on a 4 night/5 day driving trip from Noosa, through Ipswhich and down to Uki in NSW. It was awesome! We stayed at a castle bed and breakfast in Uki; the fellow and his wife who ran it built the place BY HAND. o_O' He's also some famous philosopher; he's in the Hollywood Walk of the Stars! 'Robert David Pope' is his name, but they apparently spelt it wrong in Hollywood. xD hahaha, typo! :3

I got very ill New Years Eve (and a couple of days before) but I've recovered now! Eating habits are still a bit off, but I think I ate enough for a year anyway! teehee! We had New Years at a little RSL and didn't even realise it was midnight because Sydney is on Daylight Savings Time and thus an hour ahead so we thought it was 11pm when everybody started counting down! haha! ^^</sub>

Character Rambling and other stuff
<sub>I've been thinking; I don't really like any of my characters. T___T I know all of their stories and personalities, and most of them are a little bit interesting, and some of them are really cute; it's possible I'm just going through a down time and I'll get over it. Alot of my characters are very very similar- they all seem to end up evolving into the same thing, especially the males who seem to turn into girls. o_O'

But I'd really like to have a character that I can really like as a stand alone character- yet I'm completely stumped for ideas. Normally I have characters coming out of my ears but at the moment my inventive pool is bone dry!

I mean, seriously. I draw my characters every now and then; maybe one or two of them? I've got about a million and most of them are anthro's that I never draw and even rarer upload. Perhaps this is the problem, I think I might be evolving out of anthromorphic characters. If I asked here, maybe... 5 or 10 of my characters might actually be recognised by others; and maybe less could be named. I don't know; I'd also like to write a comic of some kind- but I need a good idea to start it off with.

Perhaps this will pass though; I think I could just be having character down time due to obsessions with other characters at current. >>

On that same note, I'd love to enter some sort of OC art tournament. I think it'd be a fantastic way to see a wide range of artists, characters as well as hone my own skills as an artist and storyteller. But then there's all these other things- I HAVE NO CHARACTER TO ENTER, would I have the time, what if I let someone else down, what if I get voted out in the first round (or don't even qualify) and any story I might have been hoping to make is lost? And then I'd be wanting to do animations; and I'm so slow at animating. Even though I'd love to do more animations because it would be fantastic practise for my Uni course- but... eh.

This is now turning into a really big ramble with a dash of rant and a pinch of emo in there! o_O' I'm really sorry! It's not meant to be like that! ^^ I'm actually feeling great at the moment, I've been drawing quite a bit and I'm really enjoying feeling like I'm back in the 'art groove' at the moment. hehe.</sub>


Anyway! I think that's all! teehee. :3 I hope this suffices as a journal to live up to my promise! ^^

Lovvu! Especially if you read this far!



oh, also. I don't have anywhere else to put this (no shoutbox or club journal or anything) so I'm just gonna put it here for now; but I joined ~Climber-Fans. Because... I am most definately a fangirl. First club I've joined that I recall; which means the past... 4 years? XD I'm not normally too into clubs, but this one was irresistable. ^^
