no not rly. Just supa, supa busy. Life has been hectic and yet entirely enjoyable. School and work have been eating up most of my time. But I'm starting to be able to balance it with personal stuff as well. Of course that doesn't mean I'm any less bogged down.

I like having this much work though. Call me crazy...since I certainly think I am.

In the next few days I'll probably be uploading a few sketch/commission dumps, since I know I won't be able to finish any of the sketches I've finished these past few weeks.

Aside from that...

Zombie Land is amazing. It's absolutely histerical and as far as movies go is positively EXCELLENT. The next movie I'm really really really excited for is Where the Wild Things Are. Whenever I see a preview for it I pretty much go into this world that shuts me up. I can't even explain the effect it has on me. The book was one of my favorites when I was younger. When I first heard the movie was being made I seriously danced a little. Picture that shit.

AND. GOING TO WONDERLAND FOR HALLOWEEN. FUCK YES.

That is all.

BTW: 9 sucked. It sucked hard. I had already been starting to lose faith in Tim Burton so it wasn't like I went into the theatre with high expectations...but it blew harder than I thought it would. Burton's directing career has come to a halt, for me. Which is probably why I'm in no way looking forward to his adaption of Alice in Wonderland. Burton has his style, and he NEVER PARTS FROM IT. Every movie he has done has the same feel, the same look, and the same characters. The guy should be an art director. That. Is It.

For the past while I had been avoiding my laptop like the plague. After using my desktop to work I've come to realize that the colours on my laptop are shit and are no where near what they should be. However, no matter what I do, and no matter how long I tinker with the settings, I can't get the colours to look as good as they do on my desktop. Granted my monitor for my desktop is probably far superior to this little fucker...but still.

I've tried many a calibration program but nothing has proven to work. While I can get my brightness and contrast levels to what they should be (at least according to the many 'guides' out there, as well as my own opinion), the colours just don't look right. I know because I've been comparing pictures. I have the same thing open on my desktop and laptop and they just look ridiculously different. Reds, especially. My laptop HATES red.

This sucks, because I would love to lounge downstairs and do some work while watching TV. However, I can't. I'm really picky and since I KNOW the colours on my laptop aren't up to par I physically can't bring myself to do any art related stuff on this thing.

Also, any of the work I HAVE done on it up till now, looks really dull on my desktop. That being one of the reasons I know it's fucked.

Bleh. It's just annoying. I've spent the past hour and a half trying to fuck around with it. I figure I'll spend the next while doing the same. Maybe I'll get it close...hopefully.

Report is late due to internet PMSing after arriving home. All seems to be well now, however.

Anyway. It's a small one, but it's a report nonetheless. I don't have any pictures to show either, sorry! I did see FFT cosplayers though. They made me happy.

All in all Otakuthon '09 was great! I sold way, WAY more than last year, and met a bunch of super nice people (as well as a few from last year as well). I got to see the town with my peepz and generally had a GREAT time! I'm thinking of selling my extra stuff, ANYONE INTERESTED? I already have three keychains saved for people. xD

There was one thing that annoyed me though. THE ORGANIZATION OF THIS CON. NO. NO. NO. It was awful! Last year was so super speedy when it came to getting my table set up. This year I had to wait in line for an hour just in order to get my badge. I missed out on fourty minutes of setting up! I also still had keychains to put together. I would've done them earlier but there were issues with my hotel room and we couldn't get in. ANYWAY. I expect, that since not only do I buy my badge ahead of time, but since I'm someone who is also paying for an art table, that I should be able to set up the moment set up time is open! I don't want to stand in a crowd of a shit ton of people (which made me super dizzy by the way. I don't do well in crowds. IT SUCKED.) I also don't want to have to watch SIX PEOPLE cut in front of me when I've been waiting for an hour! It was AWFUL! The volunteers for this convention should NOT have been volunteers. They were favoring their friends and let them cut in line. I'm not talking one person every now and then. I'm talking huge groups all the fucking time. Kitty and our friend had to wait three hours. Granted that's a short time for buying registration that day (in comparison to larger cons), but it would of been shorter had people not been butting in line. I expect to see at least some logic in the art of lines...guess not!

Aside from the shitty organization (which is only going to be worse next year, I expect.), it was a grand old time! Yet again there was an amazing artist sitting next to me ( =yanimator )...oh well! Were I more focused on the social aspect of things I would have talked to him...but I was SO tired!

Long story short...I will for sure be going next year! It's a fun trip. And I get to see so many people.

PLUS. JAG. OMG. I MISS U ALREADY U FORGOT UR SHIRT HERE U SILLY GOOSE.

OHAY. I have a quick question for my watchers. O:

Where do you get your work printed? I've been using Staples, but for some of my stuff I'd like to get posters done, but the smallest posters Staples has to offer are a little to big for me. I'd like to know if anyone knows of any other decent places I'd be able to get stuff printed?

If all else fails I'll just undoubtedly stick with Staples, but I'm curious. I know many online printing services, but I won't be able to get everything shipped in time. If I did I'd stick with Paper Forest. xD

Also. Does anyone know where I'd be able to buy cellphone straps? I'd like to experiment with them. lol

-ahem- All systems are go for Otakuthon! And, I'm trying to get my work done ASAP so I'm not rushing at the end. SO. TIME FOR SOME QUESTIONS!

Keychains and buttons are probably going to be the main things I'll be selling. This is where my loyal ( LOL ) watchers come into play.

WHAT CHARACTERS SHOULD I MAKE INTO KEYCHAINS? I have Yoko so far, obv. I'm trying to think of other REALLY popular ones.

But sometimes...sometimes I question. I question why certain things are allowed on the site, and are encouraged. I'm not going to complain and say that popular people will always get away with posting whatever they want, even if it can sometimes be KINDA true ( come on, seriously, cliche views are made for a reason. ). Right now, I'm quite annoyed. I wander to the popular section every now and then, in hopes of finding an artist I may have not seen before. Many of my searches have landed me with a few inspirational artists. However. Sometimes I am just down right saddened by what I see. Fine. Fanart I can understand. Otakus need to get their rocks off some how. Nude photography of chicks, I can understand. Same reason as before applies.

But...I see things like this. [link] And I just shake my head. Yes. I'm blatantly targeting a deviation.

This deviant is the owner of Jiggly Girls ( creative name, amirite? ). A website entirely dedicated to hentai images of many a game/anime character, all with engorged breasts. If that's your thing, then good for you. But, such images should stay on that site. I don't care if it's a 'teaser'. I know what's going on. It's not that hard to figure it out. If you want to get off by posting your porn, then go to Hentai Foundry. Sites like that were made for a reason. Strangely enough, I always thought DA had a little more class then what I've been seeing as of late. There's pictures of girls showing tits, and then there's blatantly sexual images of girls being fucked by anything that's remotely shaped like a cock. Also, in no means am I saying this because I'm a prude, or whatever you'd like to title it as. I'm quite the opposite. I enjoy a good romp. I enjoy a good tit. Anyone who has ever talked to me will undoubtedly eventually title me as a ' pervert '. Sexual conversations are probably my favorite thing ever. This is simply a matter of opinion on what should and shouldn't be on a site that is supposed to be about the art( I'm not saying the art is shit, either. So don't come to me with your 'who are you to say what is and isn't art?' My sex drive tells me that is hardcore porn cropped to be softcore ), not about how many kleenexes some 14 year-old is going to need after browsing through the popular section. Now isn's that a healthy mental picture?

For fucks sake. I'm repeating myself...Keep your shit on your own hentai site.

That is all.

Taken:

I could be kind of biased on this, since I've always enjoyed the entire "father going after his daughter cause he loves her somuch" thing...but this movie had me fucking PUMPED. Liam Neeson was the perfect man for the part. And his beginning speech on the phone when his daughter was taken...AFFDSOGHRT. DID THAT MAKE ANYONE ELSE FUCKING PUMPED?! Apparently Bruce Willis was originally considered for the main roll. As much as I love the roll...srry Bruce. You already did the 'rescue daughter' thing. Remember Die Hard 4? yeah. srry bb.

Coraline:

THIS MOVIE FUCKING SURPRISED ME. I thought it would be one of those...awwsocute stop-frame movies...but it twisted around and became kinda...creepy to me. The story was pretty cool. But, at certain points I found the animation to be really sloppy. Plus. Near the end it started to move super fast, like they went 'AWW SHIT WE'RE RUNNING OUTTA TIME SPEED IT UP'. The voice acting was kinda botched too. Coraline's voice flip-flopped like crazy. The only voice I really felt suited the character was "The Mother". It was touching but had a hint of insanity to it. x:

Watchmen:

I SAW IT FIRST NIGHT YAY GO ME. ANYWAY. Although this movie was pretty badass in the ways of fighting and general plot, all it REALLY was...was an assortment of character explanations. Not even FULL character explanations, might I add. The last twenty minutes were completey...wtf...and MY FAVORITE FUCKING CHARACTER DIED. Rorschach made the movie for me. His sick sense of humor and time in jail made him such a badass. Along with him my second favorite was obviously Dr. Manhatten. His view of humans as a whole was really...morbid? And the influx of blue dick was pretty fabulous as well. EVEN THOUGH HIS 'ROMANCE' WAS SO FUCKING BORING. Fight scenes were epic. Even if I could go watch 300 for the exact same thing...but with more abs...and yelling.

I think I'll go do that.

Defiance:

Loved. This. Movie. Easy as that. Acting was AMAZING, and the story was simply fantastic. It was so emotional, but for some reason a pansy like me didn't cry. It had me on the edge of my sit gasping at certain parts. I even grew attached to the huge camp they made. I was pissed when it was blown up. That place was awesome! Seeing Defiance made me super excited to see Liev Schreiber in X-Men Origins as Sabertooth. Not as much as a heart throb as Daniel Crieg, but still a sexy beast.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR X-MEN ORIGINS BTW. OMG.

...back to werk naow.

I bitch now:

I seriously wonder what the fuck is wrong with the world when Twilight is looked at as AMAAAAZING literature.

No. Fucking NO. I want to shove good books in the face of anyone who says that Twilight is the awesome.

I tried reading the books. Really I did. But, I couldn't ever get any farther than the third page. There is absolutely nothing to them. They're dull. They're boring. The characters are so bland...it's fucking infuriating for a person who actually reads GOOD literature.

Now. I'm saying this because on tuesday I went to heckle the movie with my friend Jon and ~winddraco...

I went into the movie theatre trying NOT to be biased...but fuck. The damn thing completely told me to just let go and laugh. Which I did.

It was terrible. It seriously was. In a movie-goers point of view, it was god-awful. It went nowhere for the first hour. The climax lasted all of four minutes, and all they did was STARE AT EACH OTHER EVERY FUCKING MINUTE OF THE MOVIE. LIKE FUCK. The acting wasn't any better either.

So now I ask a very important question, one that got one person to tell me to be quiet in the movie theatre...

WHY THE FUCK DOES EDWARD SPARKLE?! Seriously. Somebody answer me this question. He's a fucking vampire that can GO INTO SUNLIGHT, BUT NOT DIE. Sorry, THE CULLEN'S, you're not fucking vampires. You're Mormonpires.

And Bella is the worst main character to ever be created in the history of literature. She's a stupid emo bitch that has absolutely no personality or sense of logic. How fucked up can you be to fall in love with someone and put aside everything and anything the first MOMENT YOU SEE HIM. FUCK. Twilight simply pisses me off. No. It's not good that Bella fell in love, dropped out of school, got pregnant, had a mormonpire c-section...ALL AT THE AGE OF 18/19.

I really don't understand. Twihards...tell me why you think this book is so fucking fabulous. I don't get it. And don't say it's a fabulous story of love, because it really isn't. Romeo and Juliet is a story of beautiful love, that actually ends without everyone being happy, but still leaves the reader/watch absolutely pleased.

Even Harry Potter is better than this shit. >:C

I gave up on my journal CSS. I'll make a new one later. Maybe.

ANYWAY.

Yesterday I had a job interview with the manager of Little Caesars, an awesome pizza place about fifteen minutes from my house. It went really, really well, and I start there September 8th.

I got the call at about 10:30 in the morning. After that I went on the computer and checked my messages on Subeta, only to find a message from my good buddy ~andilu, who helps with the art department. I start working as a staff artist September 1st!

I was amazingly happy the entire day. I haven't been in such a good mood in a good, long while. I'm going out for dinner tonight with Kitty and a friend as a sort of celebration. And because going out for dinner is good times.

Just thought I'd let you guys know. Since both of these events will ultimately decrease the already minimal amount of art that I upload. Durr. I srry.

ON EDIT: I don't want to hear 'sorry for your loss', or some other form of sympathy. I wrote this for the fact that I want my friends to know. I don't need fake sympathy from people who just wandered across this journal. Fake sympathy just makes me angry. Thank you.

Another loss.

This Friday, around 4 PM, we lost our dog, Ginger.

She was swimming in the lake, and had a heart attack. My sister, mother, and family friend Terry rushed to see if they could bring her back, but there was nothing they could do.

I wasn't there when it happened, I merely heard it second hand. The loss of our family dog still hasn't hit, as I've been without her all summer, but, I'm fairly certain it will hit soon enough. She was a wicked dog. Anyone who has met her before will probably agree.

My sister took her to get cremated the same night. She took it the hardest. But, we're all taking it relatively well. I was going up to the cottage this weekend anyway, and had time to sit with my family and talk about what happened.

Ginger would have turned 10 this year, if I have my dates correct. That's still fairly young for a dog of her breed. But, she lived a good, happy life.

Photobucket

Goodbye Ginger. We had some killer times.

I was back awhile ago, but sh. I came home to my internet being disconnected, due to the fact that we were moving, so I'm only getting to post now. DURR HURR.

ANYWAY. Otakuthon was great! Being in Montreal was REALLY intimidating for me, as I've never really been anywhere bigger than downtown Ottawa...which...is pretty much tiny in comparison. It also sucked because I had some terrible stomach THING for all of friday. It cleared up a little come saturday, but before that I felt awful. Ohgod. I wanted to eat, but was afraid I'd throw it up ten minutes later. I had a nice long bath at the hotel though. That seemed to fix it. xD

The train ride was very relaxing. I slept like a log on the way back. BUTYES. CON REPORT.

I've only ever been to one con. The tiny AC^3 that has been held in Ottawa these past three or so years. Otakuthon was far more crowded.

Selling art was a lot of fun, and I'd love to do it again. Granted, I didn't get as much business as I would've liked...mainly because my BUTTONS NEVER FUCKING ARRIVED. -still angry- The people who did come to my table were wickedly nice though. Thank you to everyone who stopped by! And thanks double if you bought a print/sketch commission. <3

Sure enough, the artist next to me was *borammy. Just my luck, eh? I never got a chance to talk to her, since I was generally overwhelmed by the fact that there were so many people and...I didn't understand any of them. FRENCH. FUCK.

I'll probably turn out going again next year. It depends how things go. I know if I do, I'll be more prepared when it comes to stuff to sell. As I said to my mother, this year was mainly a learning process. I know the ropes now, and what people will buy. And, also as I said to her, hopefully my buttons will arrive before then!

No pictures, unfortunately. Kitty isn't a very good photographer. Over the entire weekend he only snagged 13 pictures. All of which are completely irrelevant. ):

Well. Tomorrow morning I leave for Montreal. I'll be back Sunday night, so I'll try to upload some pictures then. Although you'll more than likely have to wait until Monday. Ohwell...

My buttons never arrived, unfortunately. I'm really disappointed with the people I ordered from. I put my order in June 28th. You'd think I'd have them, wouldn't you?

No. They forgot about my order, apparently. When I contacted them a good two weeks ago asking when they'd arrive, they told me this, and promised they'd send it right away, free of charge.

They certainly kept their word. Sure enough, I try to CALL them, figuring talking to an actual person would get something done...but that didn't work either. We got an answering machine, saying if you leave your name and number, someone would get back to you as soon as possible.

...mother and I called them three days ago.

I'm really upset they didn't get here in time. It made me really, really stressed out...

Regardless. Hopefully the few prints I have will sell, along with a few sketch commissions/digital commissions.

Still sucks dick though.

'Hokay, so.

I've officially snagged myself a table for Otakuthon in July.

Now I need to start making some prints and shit, since...I don't have any new crap. AT ALL.

What should I draw up, guys? I'm obviously going to make some original prints, so don't suggest those.

Roxas being gay with Axel. Obviously.

EDIT: TOTALLY SLIPPED MY MIND BUT...

I'm fucking DONE HIGHSCHOOL. For serious.

It still feels the same to me...it's rather hard to explain. I know that I'm done, but it doesn't feel substantially different. I look around at my friends and fellow classmates freaking out, and I'm the only chill one, pretty much.

I still intend on visiting the place next year, as Kitty will be taking an extra semester, and I'd love to see my art teachers again.

Regardless, it feels awesome. I've taken care of a huge hurdle in my life, with pretty decent grades to boot. That is to say, if you ignore my grades from grade nine/ten. Dahurrr. I was a dumb kid then. If only I smartened up sooner. Hn.

Hallo, hallo.

In mid-July Otakuthon is held in Montreal. I should be able to snag a table in AA with ~ReiNoKage.

I'm REALLY excited to go! I love trips. I really do. It's even more of a plus that I've never really been to Montreal before. I've driven through it, but that's about it.

Aside from my being excited...I'm in a bit of a pickle.

WHAT THE HELL SHOULD I SELL?!

Prints? Bookmarks? Stickers? Buttons? I've no idea! I'm not one to actually purchase stuff from any AA, unless awesome orgasm-worthy people are there...so could anyone who frequents cons and such PLEASE help me out?

Once I get more feedback I'll put up some polls...but mainly...

WHAT DO YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SEE PRINTS OF?

I'd love any feedback...in any way. xD

Neglected. Totally.

I've been so swamped with commissions and other shit...man. It sucks so hard. I wish I had the initiative to draw for myself, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Any decent idea I have turns out more than shitty when put onto paper these days. It's rather depressing, really.

A good amount has happened in the near month that has passed since my last update. I got a haircut, found out if I keep my grades up I can obtain honors this year at school, and my mom got another fucking dog.

I'd be fine with this new dog if she'd just think "shit, we already have two dogs at home, not including my brother's...maybe we should get rid of them first."

It's a bulldog, just to add. He's adorable, but mother is terrible at naming things and decided to name him "Bojangles".

I'm sorry. But when you pay a shit load of money for a BULLDOG, at least give it a decent name. And man, I was dishing them out last right and center. But, no. I refuse to call that dog such a dreadful name. It's insulting to the poor thing.

I'll try to upload pictures later...once I'm not too lazy to go upstairs and get my camera. -cough-

Name of your significant other?

Bryan, or Kitty, to all of you.

Where did you meet?

At school...in grade 7.

What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?

How am I to know? That was ages ago.

Do you remember what was he wearing?

Probably one of those random sweaters he wore every day, and that he also still owns.

Where was the first time you kissed this person?

In his room. Kitty doesn't remember it at all...):

How did he/she ask you out?

...he kissed me. Yeah. We're awesome.

Where did you go for your first date?

We don't date...but the day after the entire first kiss deal I went to his place and we vegged while watching movies...he brought me a white rose when he picked me up. O:

How long did you know this person before you became a couple?

Three years, about.

Has this person ever proposed to you?

As a funny, yes. But we do discuss marriage very often, and quite look forward to it. O:

Do you and this person have kids together?

No hell-spawn yet.

Have you ever broken the law with this person?

Does stealing duct tape count?

When was the first time you realized that you liked this person?

It was at school, I do believe...I denied it for a good long while though. That's just how I roll. Apparently I'm stubborn?

Do you get along with any of the ex's of your partner?

Why yes. O:

Do you trust this person?

Why wouldn't I? Srsly.

Do you see your partner in your future?

I sure hope so...BADLY WORDED QUESTION IS WORDED BADLY.

What is one thing he/she does that gets on your nerves?

...DoD...

Will this person repost this?

Doubtful. P:

1. Name three things you think you do well.

I'm a fairly quick learner, no matter what the subject or whatever is. I've quite the memory. Not only do I recall things that I've done, but things other people have done as well. I have enough memory for both myself, and Kitty. However, I suck with names. And, I guess I'm pretty good at making people feel better. When I'm in a good mood I've made people who were miserable completely chipper again in a matter of five minutes. I never thought all that deeply into it until people starting mentioning it to me...apparently I'm good at giving advice. Who knew?

2. WhatÂs a moment in your life when you were proud of yourself?

Wasn't really moment. I simply told myself to smarten the hell up, and I did. I skipped class often last year, and I didn't like it...so I tried that entire...'go to class and be organized deal', and hell, I say it turn out well. O:

3. WhatÂs a song you feel good listening to?

Christ. That's hard. Anything by Queen, I think. Queen is awesome. Simple as that.

4. Compliment yourself on a physical characteristic.

I've always liked my legs. I'm short, see. With ( apparently ) small calves. Iunno. I just like that general look.

5. Post your three favorite deviations from your gallery.

Let's see here....

Lawl. All of the same person...technically. How sad. I really need to branch out.

6. Rant about your favorite thing(s) EVER. What makes you happy?

I love being with...the people I love. Or being around the things I love. I can be in the worst mood ever, but I can't help but smile when I'm with my friends, or, hell, even my family on a good day ( usually just my sister though, she's a riot. and a trooper. ). I also really enjoy discussing things in detail with another person who's just as interested in whatever topic is at hand as I am. Iunno. I just really get into. It doesn't even have to be an argument. Just a good discussion.

7. Write something nice about at least, but not limited to, three people! (They donÂt have to be here on dA).

I'm going to stick with people on DA, since they keep me here, usually. And of course, Kitty. My friends know I love them. O:

- Emp is totally awesome, to put it simply. She's so frikkin' nice and has a wicked sense of humor. She also knows what I'm talking about when I rant about shit. Her art is to die for too. I love her style. It's so different, and is such a sweet taste of something special and unique in this cliche animu world we live in.

- I've only recently started talking to Rae. We p-chat randomly and talk often. Rae's an awesome person who keeps me talking with her about the most random topics. We have alot of things in common which only makes getting along that much easier. I only wish I wasn't so busy so I could talk at her more. I ARE SORREH. ):

Is anyone else sick and fucking tired of those 'dansen' edits? I FUCKING KNOW I AM.

I saw the first one, the original, a good long while ago. Then, it started to pop up everywhere. And now, every fucking person and their cousin are making EDITS.

Christ. It's even worse when said edits get more recognition than anything else posted...it's a fucking EDIT. I can understand if the animation was original, and done completely done by the artist...but no. It's a fucking edit. I'm sorry, there ain't a whole lot of talent involved in that.

I'm still going to be making random gifts for people. The time I finish them will be completely random, as I'm paying alot of attention to gaia commissions at the moment...since I'm determined to get myself an AFK.

Anywho. I saw Cloverfield awhile back...and it was...interesting.

I enjoyed how it was from the perspective of a simplistic video camera. It made everything way more intense, since you were always trying to see what was going on while the camera shook about...

But. They never tell you ANYTHING. So, pretty much...what you learn from the previews is what you learn through out the entire movie...except...in the movie you actually get to see what the monsters look like.

While I was watching the movie the thing that went through my head the most was "Man...it must've been really fucking hard to film this..." Seriously though. Most of it called for so many background people...what with it taking place in a city that's being evacuated, and what not. It's carazy.

"Are you aware of Garfield?"

Guh. I'm in my last semester of high school, guys...I'm taking a flash animation course too. We've only had a few classes of it and it's already pretty much my favourite class...

I'll have to download Flash onto this computer...

Ah. The new year. A fresh start...not really, but...shut up.

How was everyone's new year? Mine was fairly decent. A simple gather of myself, ~winddraco, ~Deagal, and ~x-Pumpkin-x. This was by far the most nerdiest new years eves I've ever been apart of. Awesome none the less, mind you.

We gather. Played Risk (and I did pretty damn well, I must say. Normally Kitty kicks the shit out of everyone, but Pumpkin and I DEMOLISHED him. >D). Watched two out of three of the Bourne movies. Were general idiots, and what not. Was good times, really. 'Til we had to leave the following day after bucket-loads of snow had fallen on Kitty's car. P:

SO. I think I have a few new years resolutions I'd like to stick by this year...I'll probably think up more as time goes by...but...let's list 'em, just for kicks:

- Keep my room clean. I mean it. No cuttin' corners either.
- Don't be such an evil witch to random folk, unless they deserve it, or the outcome will be REALLY funny.
- Experiment with artsy stuffs, rather than sticking to the norm, saying over and over that "I can't do it, so let's not try."
- Stay in shape...I'm startin' to gets a belly...
- GET AN 80 AVERAGE.

I could seriously do the last one. I tried this semester, but I screwed that up for myself. But, ohwell. School ain't over yet.

Now. I don't recal where I found this little diddy, but...I felt like filling something out. Snow days are fucking boring as shit. But they're still better than school.

Anywho. Here we go!

Where did you begin 2007?

I actually...don't remember. I think I was at Kitty's house, I'm pretty sure. All I know is that I was more than likely as far away from my house as possible, what with it being party central, and all. S'loud. ):

What was your status by Valentine's Day?

Taken and what not.

Were you in school (anytime this year)?

Ayesss. Started the year in grade 11. Now I'm a damn senior. It's feels weird, man.

Did you have to go to the hospital?

Yes. I did. I faint WAY too much, and for some reason my damn doctor decided that I should get a bunch of pointless tests done. I HATE hospitals. They make me feel sick to my stomach. And, well. I visited the hospital for other reasons in the summer, but let's not get into that.

Did you have encounters with the cops?

Believe it or not, but I'm the good one in my family. The only thing even close to an encounter with the police was just last week, when some security officers in some mall talked to me at random. They were nice. P:

Where did you go on vacation?

My family doesn't go on vacation. I did go camping for two days though...this summer wasn't really the best for trips though...

What did you purchase that was over $500?

Oh fuck no. I can't spend more than $30 dollars on one article of clothing. If I do, I feel terrible about it for days. @_@

Did you know anybody who got married?

I...think so. I heard of people getting married, but I don't know them directly. Family friends and shit. I was asked if I was going to get married any time soon though. It was very awkward.

Did you know anybody who passed away?

Yes. Unfortunately my entire family saw it coming. Around early June my grandfather had to go to the hospital, as he was very ill. After that, my mother, step-father, and sister stayed with him and took care of him. By the end of the summer we had to see him go. And that's the reason why I couldn't do anything all summer. Really frikkin' sucked.

Did you move anywhere?

Yes. I'm now living in my grandfather's old house with my mother, step-father, and sister...while my fucking brother gets the house I was BORN in...I hate him.

What sporting events did you attend?

No senators games, unfortunately. I went to a few of Kitty's hockey games though...does that count?

What concerts/shows did you go to?

None. I don't much like concerts...

Describe your birthday:

The usual. I don't throw parties. Family and close family friends came over for dinner...that's about it.

What's the one thing you thought you would not do but did in 2007?

Move.

What has been your favorite moment(s)?

There weren't many favorites...

Any new additions to your family?

My brother got a puppy...not that he deserves it...

What was your best month?

Didn't really have one.

What music will you remember 2007 by?

Home for a Rest. I can't remember the artist, but it's a damn good song. So frikkin' irish.

Who has been your best drinking buddy?

I don't drink. I find it stupid. I have better ways to spend my time/money.

Made new friends?

A good few, yeah.

Favorite Night out?

I don't really go out...

Overall, how would you rate this year?

3/10. I just want it to end, to be honest. P:

Other than home, where did you spend most of your time?

Kitty's.

Change your hairsirstyle?

I wanted to. I'll be getting it cut short near the end of the year, I'm sure.

How old did you turn this year?

17.

Do you have a New Year's resolution?

I have a few...my main one is to try to keep my room clean...it's filthy. D:

Do anything embarrassing?

...I'm the epitome of embarrassing. For myself, and those around me.

I love this time of the year. The only thing I don't like is the fact that it's cold. And icy. I slip on ice way more than I should. But, regardless. I ganked this from *ReiNoKage. ILU. : D

Step One

- Make a post containing your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal.

Step Two

- Check to see who has posted their list.

And here's the important part:

- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Now here's my list. There aren't many things I want, as I'm quite content with my life at the moment. But, I'll try anyway.

1. A VCR, or a combination VCR/DVD player so I can watch all of my old Disney movies. I can only watch my Disney movies at Kitty's house at the moment, as our current VCR eats tapes after approx. 40 minutes.

2. A PSP with Final Fantasy Tactics so I can make Kitty happy. The game was recently released, and there's a new multiplayer mode, but nobody else we know has ever really played the game...and it's not the type of game that people with no patience can play. But I can try, damnit.

3. The original Final Fantasy Tactics strategy guide. It wouldn't be for me...but it'd make Kitty happy. That's my basic reason for doing anything these days.

4. A frikkin' squishable. The turtle is my favorite...but he's out of stock. [link]

5. Windows XP. Self explanitory.

6. The ability to sew. There are so many things I want to make...

7. Commissions from so many different artists...but I can do that on my own.

8. To be recognized for my frikkin' hard work in parenting class, rather than having it ignored, and simply shrugged off.

9. My license. This is impossible to gain by christmas, as the license system here takes a hell of a long time. But, it'd still be nice.

10. I want someone to make my brother realize that he isn't the best thing since sliced bread, and that it isn't a good, or funny thing that he ruined my life. By the by, he actually did. I'm not trying to be 'emo', or whatever. I still enjoy my life, he just made it worse than it could've been.

BONUS: For my frikkin' mother to STICK TO HER WORD. If she stuck to her word, and made plans on her own, rather than waiting for me to kick her ass into gear, I'd have my G1, a bus pass, a painted room, I'd know how to sew, and SO MANY OTHER THINGS.

Ah. That was fun. You guys should do this too. :3

Hallo people. I'm totally typing this from my new SEXY COMPUTER. I love it so hard, you have no idea. The monitor is fantastic, and the image quality is to die for. I'm uber pleased with my choice and computer-finding abilities. I found one computer, and this one, which is pretty much exactly the same, for 300 dollars less. I was so proud. O:

Anyway. I was wondering if anyone has a link to free downloads for painter...as I'm cheap and don't have ANY drawing program on this computer yet. I want to get started on commissions...I feel so bad for not having them done already.

Butyeah. If anyone has any information regarding free downloads, whether it be for painter, photoshop, or even opencanvas, please tell.

I'm gonna tinker with this thing some more. : D

EDIT: Two hours in...and I hate this. Vista fucking sucks and is making it literally impossible to do anything. I am currently attempting to download MSN, and it apparently is going to take OVER AN HOUR. In order to prove to my mother that it is indeed Vista behind this atrocity, I went upstairs onto possibly the most shitty computer you will ever see, and it downloaded the bitch in less than 3 seconds. No...it can't be Vista...right guys? I guess I'm just fucking retarded.

Why can't they just give a damn option..."Hey, do you want Vista, or a system that can actually work without the result of you ripping your hair out?" Hard decision...

All I want...is to have my own, WORKING computer. One that isn't so full of crap that it can't even load a frikkin' page. But...no. Vista has seen to it that I will never have such a thing. Ever.

My own computer...no longer filled with pointless crap. Unfortunately it has vista, and I can't change that...but...I'll cope, I suppose. I kind of have to.

I'll be getting started on commissions ASAP after I reinstall all of my tablet stuff...that is to say...if I can find all of it...and if my brother hasn't destroyed my tablet. I really hope he hasn't. Last time I was over there...there was beer all over it. Do not want. ):

~Deagal is going to be kind enough to get me Photoshop CS, too. I remember getting a trial for that version of photoshop and I loved it. I tried CS2 soon after...but I despised it. It was way too complicated and messed up too much. CS was way better, in my opinion.

I want my new computer. I wanna set it up. I still have to drop by the other house and get all of my stuff onto a disk or something...before he deletes it somehow. Even though Kitty protected all of my folders all sneaky like. ILU Kitty.

...yeah. Just thought I'd inform.

I'mma play more bust-a-move. O:

P.S. I want to buy Stephen Colbert's book. But I'm broke. ):

[i]You are the highest level uke. Other uke admire you, some seme fear you. At times, you can even fool other people into thinking you are seme with your mischievous, manipulative attitude, but when push comes to shove, your true submissive nature emerges - all you really want is the punishment. It takes a seme with just enough sadistic tendencies to dish out the punishment you really want, but enough patience not to outright kill you, so you are best paired with the "Don't Fuck With Me" Seme.[/i]

This sadly fits me very well...the first part, at least.

Anywho. This weekend was frikkin' killer. I had a grand ol' time with all of my lovelies. I didn't take many pictures though...as my hands were quite full already. I got a few random hugs during the time Kitty had ditched me...and hell, I met *klar, who is amazingly nice and seemingly shy. I was going to commission her, but I unfortunately had to leave relatively early sunday, and she wasn't at her table when I checked the few times...ohwell.

I didn't buy much...since I didn't have alot of money. I got myself a pink yoshi plushie, a kickass tonberry plushie for Kitty, and two books. I also sang me some karaoke. Unfortunately my throat was killing me all weekend, so I sucked pretty hard...but still owned alot of people who were actually trying. I love life.

I'll try uploading the few pictures I have later. Kitty only managed to get a picture of my butt when I was wearing the kimono my friend lent me. The thing was really pretty.

Hopefully next year I'll be snagging myself a table in artist's alley with *ReiNoKage. We'll see what happens. O:

I'm gonna tinker with my new phone now...it's so frikkin' sexy.

Alright. So I'll be attending AC Cubed this weekend, along with Kitty, ~x-Pumpkin-x, and ~Deagal. We'll be meeting up with *Neko-Witch and hopefully a mass of other awesome people.

First day I'll more than likely be wearing a blue and red kimono my kind friend Greer is letting me borrow. So. If you're goin', don't be afraid to say hi. I'll be in a good mood...so I won't bite. I swear.

I won't be there until later though...kinda sucks. And Kitty won't be there until even later. The wanker has a hockey game...-grumblecakes-.

Anywho. I have my camera this year, so I should have a good heap of pictures for you guys by the end of the weekend. O:

ALSO. I will be going computer shopping soon enough...I hope. I should be up and running by december...or at least by the new year.

Hm. I thought it'd be more...

ON A SIDE NOTE.

I'm still unable to work on commissions, as this computer is still sick. I'm not ignoring anyone...it's just fucking impossible for me to do anything...and it's beginning to upset me.

So. I've been rather dead, if any of you have even noticed. Lately I haven't even been going on the computer. I've actually been some what paying attention to my social life, and spending time with Kitty every other night. Whether it be staying with him while he works or simply going to his house after the schools.

I'm still frightened to use my computer, more so after mother informed me that it's sick. Poor sickly shitty computer. It has served me well.

ALSO. ON THE LARGEST NOTE. I will be moving house. So, I won't be able to do a grand amount for a good chunk of time. Hopefully, though, I should have my own computer...soon...enough. Right Kitty? RIGHT?!

But yes. I'm going to be moving from my current house to the one my grandfather owned about a ten minute drive away. That means getting up early in the morning to take three buses to school. Joy.

No matter, really. I like this house more. There's a friggin' pool here. And big screen TVs and a basement that ISN'T full of drunken idiots! HURRAH! Which means I can finally buy DDR for myself. I have to get better than Kitty. I MUST beat him.

Also, ALSO. Mother is looking at new scanners at the moment. So I'll finally be able to scan stuffs.

EMPNEZZ. I'VE FINISHED MY HALF OF THE ART TRADEZ!!!11!2!6

I'mma go play God of War now. I wrote more than I originally intended...I like the sound of this keyboard...s'nice.

-sigh- It happened again. This time I had the lineart completely done for =musachan's commission, and painter closed again, completely failing to re-open what I had JUST saved moments before after reopening the program.

This is really starting to piss me off. Why does painter always choose to PMS right when I'm nearly finished something I had been working on for a good two hours? Seriously. Christ.

I want to fix this problem. Now. If this is going to continue and completely DESTROY my commission work at the most random moments...well...I kind of HAVE to fix it. I don't like using photoshop for commission work...and I've come to really, really enjoy using painter. Although if it continues to PMS at me...fuck. I don't know.

Although...I guess that's what I get for getting a free copy, huh?

*ReiNoKage was doin' this, and since she featured me I guess I should do it too.

The deal of this thing is to look through the galleries of the first 10 people who comment, pick the three deviations you like the most, and then say why you like their art.

Now. You don't have to do this as well if I feature you...but that would be going against the rules, now wouldn't it?

FEATURED.

1.

I'll always have appreciation for those who can work well with inks, and solid blacks. Lilith-kun has an excellent placement of lines in her works. They don't over-crowed the drawing, but rather make it look purely kickass. And the first chosen piece gave me much amusement. I have yet to find the Totoro face. ):
2.

Cute. Cute. 8D Colourful and cute. 1st has always shown me love and has previously thrown so much fanart at me. homgods. I love it. All of her submissions have such bright colours and just generally put me in a good mood. Oh, and look...her birthday is tomorrow...present time. O:
3.

Kevichan's ID is better than mine. TT.TT Anyway. Kevi always manages to place characters in his pictures perfectly, and the poses he chooses for them are always so butt-kicking-ly awesome that is makes me swoon. Not to mention he's killer with perspective. And...well...Dipper. He drew a Dipper. C'MON.

I had some fun tinkering with some coding stuff. I'll stick with this for now, and maybe make something more intense later...but I rather like this. It's nice and simple. I've seen alot of journals where I have to squint to see...soyeah. xD

Thanks for sending me links and stuff guys. I had so much fun coding and experimenting! Even though my internet shut down and I had to start over...twice. But sh.

To =musachan, I re-sketched your commission, and it turns out...that I like this sketch more. I think I may try drawing my chibis differently. I don't want them looking to cliche. Y'know? That entire...originality thing?

It's rare. I know. But I may as well try. O:

-sigh- I'm sorry =musachan, I was working on your commission, and had nearly finished colouring it...when I tried to save...and painter shut down. In a frenzy I re-opened it, tried to get back to your commission, but the file was corrupted for whatever reason.

I'm going to have to re-do it. And I was so, so very fond of how it was turning out. I'm currently in quite the mood, and will take a decent break from painter, while trying to discover what the problem is...considering...this has happened before, and it's really starting to piss me off.

I hate bad days. I didn't get a wink of sleep last night due to my idiot drunk of a brother, and everything is just getting to me more than it probably should today.

On a side note...anyone want to give me some tutorials for journal CCS or whatever it's called? I want to make this thing pretty...

I've spent the last three days with Kitty and I feel better now. Although I still tend to get a little misty when I think too much. But, aside from that, I'm feeling alot better. I'm sure once september comes around and I must attend the funeral I'll be in quite the state...but...until then.

I'm sorry for worrying you guys that I was leaving DA. xD

The most I'll do is take a break or so every now and then. But I won't be leaving. There are far too many awesome people here...and artists that I watch. O:

Myself and all of my family was there to see him off. He didn't experience any pain, and went peacfully.

The shock that he's gone after 17 years of him being there is still taking effect, and I'm sure I'm going to be moping around the house for the next few days.

Such a loss makes one think. And witnessing said loss makes one think even more.

I don't want your pity. I don't want your "ooh, I know how you feel"s. I'm simply writing this to some what get it off my chest.

Soon I'll recover. My grandfather will always remain in my memories, and although he's gone, I'll always love him.

Two days ago after coming home from work I collapsed onto the stairs and just had a good lay down for a few minutes. I took off my glasses and put them a few steps above me, since they were stabbing me some...

After awhile I decided to go to bed, but sure enough when I got up, and went towards my room, I heard a terrible "SNAP". Then I remebered...that my glasses had been on the stairs.

So. My sexy pink specs are now LITERALLY snapped in two. My step dad, Richard, took them to the store to get them fixed, so I hope to have 'em back soon. But fuck.

I have TERRIBLE vision...lemme just get that across right now. The words that I'm typing are frikkin' blury to me...and squinting hurts to fucking much. Guh. Dx

Although, I'm not sure where to start. I recently sketched up a decent redesign for my precious Kyoji, but unfortunately my scanner bit the dust again and refuses to work properly.

So, I ask you, my faithful watchers...have any suggestions of who to start with?

No Candy or Shinka (assassin-wise) suggestions, since their outfits are set, due to the fact that...they're from a game.

I mean...Psymon, Griff, Kiwi...ZOO.

And so many more. So. Give me your input. I'd really like to know so I can get to work. It's summer...I need something to do when I'm not at work and Kitty's in the middle of nowhere. O:

ON ANOTHER NOTE.

I love 300. It's probably my favorite movie now. It's even surpassed The Lion King. That's a big thing to do.

In my history class last year, our teacher, Mr. Smith taught us about Sparta...and he had the best ways of getting his lessons stuck in our heads. We made cardboard shields and newspaper swords, and had battles...then there were the essays. But they were still fun.

The movie was very accurate. And that's probably one of the reasons I love it so much.

That...and...IT'S FUCKING 300.

Just wanted to talk about some genius. :'D

First on the agenda, DDs.

I remember back in the day when getting a DD actually, y'know, meant something. They used to be slapped up on the side of the site, where anyone browsing through deviations could see them. Back then they were actually DECENT. Now, when I look through the DDs, since that's something I do every now and then, all I see is crappy fanart, pictures that have been raped by photoshop too much, and the like.

Mind you, some of the stuff I see is actually decent, and the people who get said DDs actually...deserve it. It's a weird thing, I know. Someone on DA getting recognition...but, anyway. Since DA doesn't show DDs to the entire public as often as they used to, not as many people see these wonderful, underappreciated artists work. It upsets me...

Next on the agenda, shitty popular people.

Oh, how I wish I could name names...but that would go against so many rules and junk. Such a shame.

The popular section is a festering pool of disease and shit. Yes, there are people who appear there who deserve it. Such as Endling, Gunner, UdonCrew, and what not...but there are people that just...guh. There are some 'artists' on this site, who's galleries are so goddamn repetitive. I swear...everything looks the exact same. And the thing is...the stuff isn't even that good. It's just some twat spamming the dodge tool constantly.

And, christ...fanart that looks like a ten year old gets more attention than beautiful work that is simply priceless. It's the type of fanart that was more than likely drawn in class, for a majority of five minutes, with a chewed up pencil. The damn comics aren't even that FUNNY.

Gotta move on...phew.

Finally.

I'm not an asshole, I'm really not...

This seems to be a way everybody views me. But...let's think about it for a second. Those people who do view me as such, have more than likely annoyed me, insulted me, or whatever else in some way in the past...now, I'm not the type to sit back and let shit fly. I state my opinion no matter what the situation. If I insult you, then woop-dee-doo. I'm an opinionated little lady.

Although I'm opinionated, I'm also Canadian. And we Canadians are apparently very polite...s'weird. I am quite polite. Unlike the massive majority of the people I see, I say me please-s, my thank you-s, I hold doors open for people, help the eldery when they can't lift something, respect my elders, don't back-talk to teachers...and many other things.

If you're not an idiot to me, then I won't bitch at you. When I ask "don't simply say 'cute' or 'awesome'" on something I submit, and you ignore it and comment as such anyway...well...I'm going to bitch at you.

Is it that fucking hard to understand?

PS: I also swear like a sailor.

Live with it. Fuck nuts.
