Go there for more details on what's going on. ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/9998165/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/9998165/ Thu, 07 Sep 2006 12:19:43 PDT
But here's what's happened recently. I'm putting this up for my mom mainly so she can see what's going on.

Alan and I headed to a convention last weekend, and made some cash. We has a good time goofing off with our friends OnyxWolf and KumaJayy - and in general just had a great time. We left the convention feeling tired but content.

Then we roll up to our apartment to see this.

[link]

Our apartment building has to be gutted. Thankfully no one was hurt or injured including our cats, however, our Calico Cat Quanta has apparently gone off the deepend, and after attacking various people pissing and excreting on herself, and generally just being violent to nayhting that moves, has been deemed insane by a veterinarian and will most likely have to be put down - no shelter will take her and she's a danger to anyone that comes near her including us.

Our home is pretty much in tact. The house is a mess though because a bunch of our nieghbors broke in to get our more valuable stuff out. My computer, the TV and a few other random things were piled up in someone elses apartment. Alan thinks they had mixed motives about it. Currently we're missing a scanner, a few DVD's, a mouse and a keyboard. We're leaving a good deal of things we don't need behind - like the vaccume that won't vaccume, various peicies of broken furniture and appliances, etc. The matress I came to the apartment with is gone too namely because the box bed is shot, and the thing was kinda in bad shape anyway. Currently it's been salvaged as a bed for some other, now homeless, person.

I'm staying with Alan's uncle at the moment and Al's mom even came down to help us find a new place to live. We've got a town home lined up in the apartment complex we wanted and that's a good thing to know. We can move in within a week (thank god).

I've currently got two projects to finish by the end of next week. Our teachers have been very generous and told us to have the projects to them by next friday.

Kat and Gavin are currently taking care of Gemini and Quanta(who is currently quarantiened to a bathroom).

We're going to head to the apartment once more today to get the last of the stuff from our home. I hope to go they're done soon because I don't want to stay at that apartment any longer. I don't even want to step foot there it's so freaking depressing.

Alan's almost done with most of his work, he still needs to finish an animation and rig and has to make a production bible. I've said I'd help him with it but he's an idiot and rarely even accepts any help I offer. I've got an animation, rig and textured model to finish. I'm not sure how I'm going to finish everything with so much going on AND finals.

Mom said that she'd come down to help me move and bring my old dresser with her so we'll have somewhere to put our clothing.

For all of you who have known about this, and have kept us in your toughts and prayers I thank you most senserely. Thank you thank you thank you!

And Mom you think you can take off a few days in about a week, we'd love the help with moving and. . .I don't think I've ever wanted a 'Mom' hug so much. ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/8118396/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/8118396/ Fri, 10 Mar 2006 04:57:23 PST
It's been very busy here in Atlanta and I feel like I'm walking on dead legs. Sleep is for the weak! And. . this. . .food thing. . .what is food? What is real food? I'm not sure I know anymore. Sustinance? Who needs that when you have lemonade and a machine vending cheezits?

Anyway, I've been working really hard on all of my basically final projects. All that is left is

a. to finish texturing a model and make a graphic for it
b. finish take home exam for Film Studies
c. Get working on my last flash animation project which will be some where around 30 seconds long. That's about 700 frames for me to draw in two weeks.
d. and take the final for Science of light which is on Tuesday - and with my wonderful abilities at test taking I'm sure I'll pass *note: words here should be drawn dripping with sarcasem*

The net is finally working again at home so I'll be able to upload much faster and much easier than the last two weeks. I've got a lot of stuff I need to color and spiff up to put on here though.

Yes I have more animations to send your way, and yes I'll be posting them asap. Just let me finish up this week, K?

I've got to do tax stuff and. . .well a lot of other stuff too. . .

took a break last night and watched Howl's Moving Castle with some friends at our appartment. It was really good and my favoriet character is the firey guy. I forget his full name but he's called "Cal" for short. He's so cute and voiced over by Billy Crystal. Woot. Go Mr. Crystal.

Other than that not much else to report. . . well there's tons of embrassing stuff. . .but why tell you that here and further embrass myself? Yeah. . .I'm saying this to annoy all of you.

Got work to do.


Laters. ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7769840/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7769840/ Wed, 01 Feb 2006 10:22:27 PST
Whel! Stepping away from my bodily fuctions now - I've got to pay rent today and I called in sick for work so I could get some rest, and not kill other people with my stress. I swear I'm gonna have a heart attack before I graduate at this rate.

My teacher is making a student's graphic model sheet look better. . .meh I think mine looks a bit better than a lot of the ones that I've seen thus far (the graphic design thing with the model). I'll post mine eventually along with a flash walk cycle that I'm finishing up for my 2D animation class. *As everyones grade in the class get's P0WNED because a kid decided to do an animated turn around- and another busts out an Ultra Magnus model.*

Le sigh.

Um. . .Not much else going on. Corpse Bride came out today and I'm debating on wether to buy it or not. I might head to TMTC to see if they have it for a lower price because they usually do.

The Aquarium was awsome as usual - and it was great to see Ralph and Norton again. Found out they're offering a backstage tour thingy and. . .I kinda wanna do that. Did some drawings but decided to just stop after I couldn't get the construction on a fish that has the construction competixy of a gold fish. For those of you who are confused on what I said: I went to the aquarium to draw on a day that my talents were still asleep and refusing to wake up!

Cubular. Don't ask.

Bored - so bored. . .and I suck at Maya - and all these people around me keep remidning me how much i really suck. Oh well.

I'm gonna go hide under my desk and try to not get noticed so I don't have to present mine. Alan really helped me out on this and I owe him a lot for it so I guess I shouldn't say it sucks. . .or maybe I should say that Alan has helped me a lot and I'm learning (although slowly) the basics and how to think on the program.

2D rocks so much more than 3D. ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7728118/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7728118/ Fri, 27 Jan 2006 23:35:21 PST
I really want to work further on my horned lion breed thing so . . .maybe that'll go through. I've got a few things that I need to scan in and make pretty-fied in Photoshop - and I've got some doodles I may color in and show up for a while. The ipod thing I did. . .I think that is eventually going to be sent to the scraps folder. . .or maybe I'll re do it because I dunno i think i could do a lot better on it. . .maybe. That's if I ever get off my lazy bum and fix it.

Alan and I are planning to go to the Aquarium on Sunday - I still need to call in and ask when we're supposed to meet up with my friend and her boyfriend.

If any of you are ever in the Atlanta area please, forget about sixflags, forget about the Cocacola Meauseum (it's nothing but a building of paper ads for christ sake), and forget about the Atlanta Zoo (because it's just a sad sight, the habitat for those animals is next to NONE) - Go to the Georgia Aquarium. I'm so serious about this because to be honest I've never seen something that I'm really so proud to see in the town I live in. To be honest it's beautiful. Just beautiful.

They've done so much work and the only complaint I have to say to them is that they have ripped off Finding Nemo in thier mascot and 'this is dumbed down version of how the ocean works' movie thing. We didn't even bother to see that thing.

Anyway I won't give away too much but here's somethign to mull over in your brains. The aquarium in Atlanta houses TWO young (14 ft-16ft) whale sharks. Because the tank is so huge trainers can dive into the tank they are housed in and not see these two WHALE SHARKS in over ten minutes. When you go to see these creatures they litterally loom out of the distance. How bout them apples?

So anyway expect some pictures or at least some sketches of sea life after sunday this week.

I've got an animation project due next week. . .I think. *makes a note to check on that* and I have a train modle due on wensday that I don't even know what I'm gonna do with it. I. . .think I'm just gonna drag Alan into the school some this weekend and see if he can help me put that stupid choo-choo togeather. . .because damnit it SUCKS to make anything in Maya. . .it really does. But thank god I'm making up for it in 2D. I'm doing fairly well in there. . .so yeah. ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7649813/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7649813/ Thu, 19 Jan 2006 15:38:42 PST
In words that I can most easily put of you guys. Maya . . .or at least in my opinion, buidling in Maya, is like building with blocks that you can't touch.

It is a fickle program but today I won a battle. Today victory was mine. . .and today. . .I showed the spoils of my victory for all to see! THREE CHAIRS! . . .

well. . .that was anti climactic.

More new stuff. I'm tired haven't slept much and I've been fickle and moody all day, and no I'm not bleeding so shut up you men who think you know everything about women cuz you DON'T! Grar.

My buddies snafu-din and Lilacite had thier house broken into! So if any of you can, please go send some love thier way because. . .they need it and I love them and my phone isn't charged because I can't find it. . .again. So please go visit them and send love to em!

Need to do some more drawing and such. Love to you all, and for all of you who have favorieted me, have sent me e-mails telling me about how much you like my work, and for those of you who just comment on my little blogger thingy and in the art area - thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Seriously from the bottom of my heart I can't thank you enough, or tell you how much it means to me. You guys make my day.

*hugs to all especially Lilacite and snafu* ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7613096/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7613096/ Sun, 15 Jan 2006 17:22:59 PST
It's good to be back but I swear I'm not looking forward to my 3D modeling class. For those of you who understand it, I envy you because Icannot make a TRIANGLE out of a SQUARE in that program. I SUCK! But that's okay. . .because that just means I'll be all the more ninja at 2D! MOVE OVER DISNEY! YOU HAVE BEEN DISMISSED!!!

Jeremy got us a shelf for christmas, so now we have a place to put our books and stuff. And my friend Lydia has an old TV that they don't want so we'll be able to play DDR down stairs now! YAY! (Jeremy has the game and two dance pads) Work out central here we come.

Other than that I've got a LOT of new work that I'm gonna be putting up over the corse of a few days so keep chekcing back, new stuff should be up soon.

Anyway, love to all! ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7259062/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7259062/ Thu, 08 Dec 2005 19:16:23 PST
Alan is tired. So am I.

Projects.

Sleeplessnessssssssss- *snore*

and stuff. SO much to do before the 15th when we'll start on our way home around eveningish!

SO MUCH TO DO!!! AHH!!! ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7259032/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7259032/ Thu, 08 Dec 2005 19:12:35 PST ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7259024/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/7259024/ Thu, 08 Dec 2005 19:12:07 PST
Cool.

*is proud*


Anyway. The finals are here and Christmas is upon us and I'm DOG TIRED! Because of so many projects due, I believe Alan and I will be greeting our holiday dead asleep! We're exgausted from the work load and looking forward to the weekend.

I have a Compass test on Sat, and work tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to schedule my 'tea' with Dr. Olsen (who has deemed herself my Atlanta Mother). I'm kinda hoping I can get in touch with her because otherwise me day will be pretty uneventful. Alan wants to go see a movie called. . .Saharavia. . or. . .anyway it's some movie about oil that sounded really awsome when he told me about it but. . .I don't remember a lot right now. My brain hurts. Ow.

New art is up hoping to get more up over the weekend. . .maybe. Actualyl I really want to.

I'm going to be pressing my nose to the notes and Calculator a lot this weekend though because I've got a Geometry final on Monday. Only ten questions, one bonus question and . . *le sigh* no partial credit. God. . .I can see the 'F' on that paper right now. I hate math because it hates me. Therefore there is mutual hatred.

I've been at the school today since 11:45 am, and it's now 10 something. Alan's working on a modling project and Ive got a tiger walk cycle due on Wensday. I'm having kind of a hard time with it because any quadra-pedial creature is always one half step off in the back legs to the front legs. Honestly I don't know how they can walk. . .I can't even walk on two feet all the time, nevermind having four. Could you imagen being a spider though? Or even a centipied! 100 LEGS!! AHH! How do you cordinate that many legs? Amazing isn't it? *can hear your uninterested thoughts and sarcastic comments* . . . fine. I'll hush up about legs. So on to the snake who has NO Legs- Just kidding.

Alan and I are hopefuly going to be heading up to NC on Wensday afternoon/evening-ish of next week. Mom and Pat set up the spare room as a guest room so we'll have a dresser, a BED a REAL BED, and we wont have to deal with Mitchell, and TV at 5:30 in the moring - every morning (I'm oking at the time, Mom). Anyway it's a VERY appriciated gesture. YAY a bed!

Speaking of home. . .I need to call mom . .so yeah BYE! ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/6976589/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/6976589/ Sun, 06 Nov 2005 23:30:37 PST
I'm currently in my 6th Quarter of schooling and . . .from my calculations I graduate in about a year and a half. So woot!

More stuff in my gallery for your viewing needs and also some old and newer stuff in my scraps section. Alan is begining work on a comic on top of everything else he's doing. He's also finished his first album so please if you'd like a CD drop me a line.

Not much is really going on here at home. Living the day to day thing going to class and enjoying them for the most part. I'm still working at the school as a tutor and though it gets frutsrating I love it.

I'm really getting excited about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, that comes out this November on the 18th. 10 days awa baby! Yes!

Alan and I are going to go dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Hee the fun of it all!

And it's late. so I'm going to bed. I'd give a more in depth thing here but . .there's not much more depth to go into. So bleh.

Beddy bye. ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/6509921/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/6509921/ Thu, 15 Sep 2005 08:15:57 PDT
Tomorrow morning around 6 am I leave Atlanta and fly into Greensboro. That's right kiddies, I'm coming home for break and I can't wait to see my mummy!!! . . .>.>. . .shut up I love my mom. I'm also really looking forward to seeing my friends too! Laura come let me love you!! *HUG*

I plan to be doing a LOT of drawing over the break, doodles and stuff. I'm not sure if there's a scanner at home. . .but if there isn't that's cool. I'm making off with Alan's Prisma markers and my lovely prisma colored pencils. heee, love them ^^.

I won't have a car while I'm home, because I'm flying in I have no other transport other than an aircraft and as nice as it would be to fly and land In Laura's front yard in a jet. . .I think the neighbors would have something to say about it. o.o()

I got new PONIES!!! YAY! My herd now consists of 12 ponahs! . . .woot! . .I know you don't care =.= but I'm happy damnit

I made a movie. . .and I like it. . .but it was made on a Mac. . .and everyone I know has PC's. . .and it won't play now. Poo.

Alan has gone to the laundry mat, and I'm just. . .goofing off for now - waiting for clothes to pack. Other than pants and underwear.

Anyway, Not much else is going on. Call me. Some one. Please. Luv me? Maybe? ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/6190650/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/6190650/ Wed, 10 Aug 2005 17:56:17 PDT
It's kinda hard to see. . but it's snowing. . .so it's little specks of snow that are moving. . .yeah I'm obsessed with snow. Leave me alone ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/6189768/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/6189768/ Wed, 10 Aug 2005 16:11:50 PDT
Anyway I've been trying to find an I con sence I came back, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm probably going to have to make one. It could be fun . .I've just got no idea where to start. o.o() I guess a canvase of 50 by 50 pixels might do - but what's the fun in that? <- needs to learn how to make the little animated icons. YAY!

I've been kinda sick for the past couple days. Found out something went wrong on the inside that could have been really serious if Alan hadn't dragged my idiot butt into the hospital. I'm not a very good patient at home, but at the doctors I know they can do awful things involving needles to me. . .so I be as well behaved as possible around them. >.>. . .yeah

Anyway my friend mithrilanna kept me company today which I've been really enjoying. She's having fun in photoshop too. I need to draw some more things. . .not sure what though. Hm. Yes Drawage. . .

Part of me really wants to take down a lot of my old sucky crap and put it away because I'm not feeling the love for them anymore. Meh, maybe I should keep them up - remind me how far I've come.

Anyway I need to make an icon. I was about to say I need to make a snowflake but that would make no sense - so I'm not going to say it even though I totally did! <3 Heart the brain that is mine - for it thinks backwards.

TO MAKE A TEMPORARY ICON! ]]> ~citrus-twist http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/6146680/ http://citrus-twist.deviantart.com/journal/6146680/ Sat, 06 Aug 2005 01:19:15 PDT
Been at college a year now. . .well . .I'm a sophmore anyway! Woot!

Uploaded two more piccies that I'm kinda proud of and I'm having fun in school.

Pizza hurts my stomach - and I just had my first hangover last night. . .isn't that exciting!? . . yeah not really - I know. Sad thing is I got drunk off of three Smeer-noffs (because I can't spell). Just three. I suck at drinking - and honestly I don't much like alcohol. o.o()

Alan is inking a picture now and I'm . ..doing this.

School has REALLY helped me on my figure drawing and stuff I finally have an anatomy book YAY! In other news - We have a kitten. . .named Quanta (anyone who can tell me what a Quanta is gets a COOKIE!!) she's cute beyond all reasoning. It's not fair.

Mom's gonna be having surgery soon - two words: Famale Stuff.

I get out of school the . .uh. . .um. . .in September! Yeah. . . For two to three weeks. . .I dun remember but ANYWHO!
