Had a long heart-to-heart conversation with my mom, with lots of crying from her side ^^;

Some people asked me what the drawing *was*, well it wasn't anything bad, trust me. Not for anyone outside my family, at least. The subject of the drawing was one of the more awful family-dramas we've had to live through ^^; I deal with it by drawing, my parents deal with it by completely ignoring it.
It's further not a particularly interestign drawing.

(Oh, and it's not something I've posted here and I doubt I ever will.)

p.s. Thanks for the nice comments I got :) ]]> ~chocolatshell I might be leaving... http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/7448945/ http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/7448945/ Thu, 29 Dec 2005 13:45:41 PST
Yeah- I might be leaving. I certainly hope not, but still.

Here's the thing- My family has always been very supportive of me drawing, and always liked to see all of my artworks.
Now, I've been very stupid. I drew something very emotional, and my mother saw it and she went completely crazy, screaming and crying-the works.
She's normally a very rational woman, so maybe everything'll be alright again tomorrow, but if not it may take a veeery long time before I come back here, and if so this is my last chance to tell you.

So, hopefully I'll be back tomorrow, if not...

I would've drawn a nice pic for it, but I've been ill these past few days.

And, off topic, our house is infested with mice! And not ordinary mice either but the real take-the-cheese-out-of-traps-and-make-a-run-with-it-instead-of-getting-caught mice.
(Now I think mice are generally rather cute creatures, but not when you see them abseiling of your bedroom wall at 1 o'clock in the morning)

If you want to know how it went please read it on my LJ. It's really very interesting but I'm too tired to type it twice.

And if you want to ask me anything about it, please do. I'm talking about 24/7 anyway.





P.s. I bought a few mangas in Amsterdam. Over here, I went to a lot of trouble to find any and I found a grand total of one.

My Russian exchange person is coming! I'm really looking forward to it :D

I'm not certain, but I don't think I'll be able to draw much. You can hardly expect them to fend for themselves, now can you?

Anyway, anyone else got a sheezyart page, or a journal at.. lemme see... greatest journal? Just like to know.

In other news, I now got this huge poster of Paradise (form the vatican museum) on the wall above my desk :D It's really beautiful! (I got the thing back in May when I went to Rome, and now it's finally hanging, still have to put up the other one though) ]]> ~chocolatshell The choco is back =P http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/6853190/ http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/6853190/ Mon, 24 Oct 2005 08:58:59 PDT

So. We went to Spain. Now let me explain my luck to you: We were there for pretty much ten *lousy* minutes before I got ill (Ill here meaning 'having agonizing pains') So the first 3 or 4 days I spend in bed, the following mostly sitting on the couch. Well, there went my vacation.

There were fun things too, though :) Going out to dinner almost every evening, just being together with (a part of) the family and stuff like that =P You know, we managed to look at a murder-tv programme every evening? =P (y'know CSI, law and order etc. after this extensive investigation, by the way, I came to the conclusion that, though less flashy, the English ones are better than the American ones)
And we went away one day. To Porte Benous (excuse possible spelling error) It's got all these huge very expensive boats. Very fun to see. We were already planning on stealing at least one =P

So I came back last night (and immediatly had to go to school very early this morning. the horror).

P.s. Didn't get a chance to draw anything. Too much pain.

P.s. 2 Did I mess up the nickname? I was convinced you could spell 'chocolat' like that, instead of with an 'e'.

P.s. 3 Sorry for doing this to you. Really. It's a compulsive need- rambling about all the things I did. ]]> ~chocolatshell Buh-bye... http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/6763196/ http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/6763196/ Fri, 14 Oct 2005 03:22:55 PDT The testweek is over :phew: That's one down, five more to go... :surrender: I certainly screwed up some tests gigantically, but I can't really bring myself to care at the moment.

We ended the testweek with the 'powdertowerrun' (to translate it literally) which is annoying enough as it is, but of course I just *had* to twist my ankle... :cries:

On to better news (for me), I'm leaving for Spain tomorrow morning :D I won't come back 'til next Sunday evening. I'm really looking forward to it, but I do hope the weather'll be nice. There were storms there.

So anyway, I'll hang around here today and then I'll be gone for a while. :cling:

Buh-bye... :smooch:


P.s. I might submit some traditional things when I get back. :salute: ]]> ~chocolatshell ME (in 36 easy steps) http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/6745788/ http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/6745788/ Wed, 12 Oct 2005 06:27:07 PDT
Go on, read it then. At least you'll get to know me better (I know that's what you really want =P ) and don't forget: fill it in and pass it on. That way, *you* can also annoy people. :D (And send it back to me; sad as it is, I'm actually amused by these things..)

Anyway, I just found out that I'm not notified everytime someone comments.
I always answer everything (because I really appreciate you taking the time to comment) but if I don't know you commented, I can't answer.

So if you told me something (or worse, asked me something) and I didn't reply, I just never got it.

Just so you know. :hug:

It's for some weird-ass school assignment. :shrug: 'what people think of you - first impressions' or something along those lines. :P

What I ask of you, people who know practically nothing about me, is very simple.
How do you think I look?
Remember: it's for a higher cause. I don't know if they grade this thing, but I see 'em do it. Help is needed.
You can impossibly think nothing at all, can you? Just think along the lines of male/female, young/old, hair colour, short hair/long hair whatever, eye colour, skin colour, the way I dress, if I have glasses/tattoos/piercings... crap like that.
And all that, without knowing me.
It's possible. At least, that's what they tell me. You always have some idea of how someone looks. And I really need your help. It takes 5 seconds and I'll be forever grateful.

Once again: stupid school. ]]> ~chocolatshell Inspiration. A funny thing. http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/6483697/ http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/6483697/ Mon, 12 Sep 2005 08:24:36 PDT The minute you go back to school, have to study for French tests, translate Latin texts, make so many bloody excersises you simply think 'screw that' before you even start and are in a hellish amount of pain at the moment even though you're already high on medicin. That's when inspiration hits you. And you can't do a bloody thing about it.

End rant. There are also good things in my life at the moment, of course. Like my father. Got to love that man. Especially when he tells me how his school once burned down when he was kid. Things like that give me hope. =P

Not art-like hope, but hope non the less. You know what's art-like hope inducing? To see drawings you made many, many years ago. You can laugh your head of and see how much you improved. There's some good in keeping everything, and not throwing it all out. :)

I'll stop rambling now. I'm sorry I did this to you. Gotta study French now. Stupid school. ]]> ~chocolatshell Tutorial :) http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/6440956/ http://chocolatshell.deviantart.com/journal/6440956/ Sun, 11 Sep 2005 08:10:10 PDT
