Yesterday I got an email from her saying that the way I react to my superiors strongly reminds me of my three year old cousin, who is supposedly going through her toddler puberty, where everything an elder says is answered with a no.


...Uhuh...








-Disclaimer: I'm not saying I'm not going through puberty despite me being 20 years old. I just find it funny such a clueless-about-life entity could make such an analysis and genuinly think she's right-

No real point in updating since I'm pretty much dead anyway BUT... If you've read my last entry you'll know that I was trying to get into college. I also need to make a slight correction on that. I said 500+ students sign up for the program. Turns out I was wrong: over a thousand students from all Europe sign up for the Visual Arts direction ALONE. So out of 1000+ I had to make it to the top 60. Somehow.

Application started with three assignments: Draw a landscape, a self-portrait, and a common household object. With it I had to turn in a resume and an application letter, but that wasn't as much of a big deal. After a month of nervously waiting I got a letter saying I had advanced to the next round and was invited to an interview. When I made my way over there May 9th they were behind on schedule so I had to wait for over an hour before it was my turn. Finally the interviewer called my name. Andrew Paquette. If you don't know that name, you should. He was the art director for Xena: Warrior Princess and did artwork for both the Daredevil and Spiderman movie.
The first thing he said as I shook his hand was "Nice to meet you. You have very nice drawings." Just that made go squee internally. He guided me to his office and offered me to sit down after which he said "I'm just gonna tell you now you've already been accepted."

...WHAT?! O_O

Turns out that he'd seen only three other students who's admission assignment were at least as good as mine, and the interview was only a formality. So I'm accepted, recently finished my registration, got (most) of my books yesterday, and I start in September.

So June was for me. And not just because of the interview.
June 15th - My birthday
June 16th - Quit my job.
June 17th - Got on a plane for a much desired month in Canada.

Now I'm back... and I can't wait to go again. Coming back didn't suck enough, so my PS3 decided to punk out on me and I got turned down on a residence room I was interested in. But I guess I can't complain since I should be working to improve more before I go off to college which can make me go two ways. Due to having to spend 40+ hours a week in college my dA could die more than it already has (if that's even possible), OR the opposite happens and my college creations will get to see the light of online day. I guess we'll see.

to
let
you
know
that
I'm
a
bit
...
HYYYYYYYYYYPER!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I ate nearly a whole box of Halloween-ish leftover candy, which made me hyper... And today I went back to face the box.

"Alright, box... It's just you and me now..."
Box: ...
"Ain't no one here to help you... I'll turn you inside out, one way... or the other..."
Box: ...
-enter cowboy staredown tune-

Anyway, I spent most of my day mentally hitting three people in particular so hard the hit echoed though the room. That was fun... #3 was my boss, #2 my brother, and #1 a guy that apparently pisses me off more than I'd like to admit. Though performing that mental activity for over 8 hours straight seems to have obstructed my ability to actively think for more than two seconds at a time.

BUT! On to why I'm actually posting. First of all to let you know I'm not dead. ...Technically anyway. Second is college. If I went to college straight out of highschool I would've started my third year already. Though kinda wishing I was in college already, I'm glad to be where I am now. First year out of highschool I went on exchange to the US for a year. Wouldn't have traded that in. Second year I had some... family issues which are still ongoing, but now I'm not as much the wreck that I used to be. So now year #3 is coming up, and I'm gonna try and get in. "Try" being the operative word. The International Game Architecture and Design Program has an admission allowance of only 120 students, of which 60 of the Visual Arts. The program is one of the few in the country, and from what I know most certainly the best. The Open House I went to on November 8th revealed that students from all over Europe come to study there, so I guess I'm in for a ride. Out of 500-600+ applicants a year I'm gonna have to make it to the top 60.

Wish me luck?

Oh, and if any of you have any tips/knowledge on technical drawing and ways to improve spatial comprehension you could spare it'd be much appreciated >_>

With my last one, for example, it wasn't until after the third time that I was succesful in submitting. Granted, I submitted during system maintenance, but with or without system maintenance I often encounter the problem. Am I the only one running into this or have more of you experienced it?

Not really, but goodmorning anyway ^^

Yes, Valentine's Day is here once again. Now I'll admit fairly: I forget about Valentine's Day EVERY year until only about two days before. Reason being was that it never meant much to me, not really having anybody to share it with, and truthfully, I never really cared either. I never expected anything, and even though I secretly hoped, I was never disappointed.

But things change.

This year... Ahh, this year ^^

This year two people very dear to me decided to conspire and plot. Conspire and plot... for nothing else than Valentine's Day. Last night, shortly after 12 am, the start of V-Day, they ambushed me both and gave me the full load. I'll spare the details... Mainly cause it's my little secret and none of your business >D But thing is, I rarely blush. I've blushed, last night included, about three times in my life. I'm pretty sure that today my face was red for about two hours, and now, the next morning, my legs are still shaking. I'm not used to people making me happy, and I honestly don't know how to handle it, but I try and enjoy it as much as I can. And I'm succeeding.

On to business then. Despite how grim things look, there will always be someone out there loving you, as much as you doubt it. So with that in mind, I wish you all a Happy Valentine, and hope that at one point in your life, you'll meet someone as awesome, loving, and loveable as the ones I have. You never know who's out there keeping an eye out for you.

...I love you (you know who you are).

I haven't slept right in over two weeks, I've got a migraine, I puked several times already (too much info maybe), and tomorrow's gonna be hell... but this vid just made my day.

Anyway, during another day of browsing DA, finishing RP shit, and then having nothing to do, I got bored. At a birthday dinner people asked if I had artwork to show after I told them my "plans for the future." Eventually DA came into play. I consider myself an average artist at best, but the people I showed my art to said I was really good. Of course, my reaction was "You think that's good? Then watch this," after which I showed them works among my Favorites. Then the comment arose that with me being 18 years of age and not having started college yet, I had real potential to get to where those people were. I was set with slight disbelief, cause in my head most people on DA were around my age... or so I thought. So then, after boredom struck, I decided to figure out what the average age was of the people I watch on DA. The result: 23. That's five years between me and the average person >.> Which in turn kinda made me feel better... but whatever.

End Random Fact!

Cyberbird: Signing out!

OH! And MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

Ever.

Tried before, but I'm never able to keep up writing them P=

But whatever. This time I just said "Fuck it" and went for it. I feel like getting stuff off my chest. Which is kinda weird considering that nothing's bothering me right now, but okay O_o

Two days ago was the fourth month since I've been back from the US. -sigh- I miss the US. I count days since my return.

For those of not updated on that little (big) part of my life, I was an exchange student during the year of 2006/2007. That was seriously THE best year of my life, and I think it will be for years to come. I stayed with a host family in Aurora, Illinois. Especially my second host family kicked so much ass. I can't wait til Easter. I might be going back then, and even though it'll probably be for no more than two weeks, I can't wait to see everybody again. Hopefully I'll get to fuck around with Jeremy again. That dude's crazy, but badass.

Luckily there's still people I can see one way or another. Which reminds me I need to email one of my friends really bad o_o; I can call my host family for... well, almost for free. I got some email adresses from friend, but I lost most of em v.v And of course, I was lucky enough to catch some people on DA, like Becca [link] Love you, babe >

I recently lost my first real job, but damn was I glad to get rid of it. My boss was a total bitch. That, and it was an inspiration and time blocker. Didn't feel the want or energy to get any drawing done. Now I'm back on track. Last time I counted I have 36 projects lined up. Is that a lot? For real, I have no idea. Most of em have to do with an RP I've been doing with a friend for... about the past two years. Well, not completely. Except for Amerie, which is his character, pretty much all projects are just images of Terra's story. In the RP we just happen to be at a point where Terra's life is about to turn around completely, which is the major plotline.

But oh well, I guess you'll see em around sooner or later I've been more content with my art of late, even though I still get stuck with every one. I never get stuck with requests though, now that I think about it O_o I guess the difference between my art now and my art a while ago is that even though I get stuck every time, I don't hit a block. I'm more relaxed. I'm not complaining ^_^ Of course, there's always a certain thing that gets me stuck, like perspective, but you'll probably see me complain about that in the art to folllow

Done. Getting late. Night. =]
