I've done several sketches, but if I upload any of them they'd probably go to scraps. Mind you, there was one of a band that I like which I may still upload, but I'm having issues with some of their faces. Also, I may have some more photography, but that may take a bit of looking. Mind you, I do have a few paintings I've been meaning to upload... Oh Deviantart, I'm sorry, but you seem to be losing me to music!
Never fear however for as a present for Christmas from my parents I got a Canon Rebel T1i (EOS 500D), which I am very excited to start using. I've taken a few photos, but I'm still figuring out all the different functions and whatnot right now.
I also got a Deviantart messenger bag and a sign that says, "I have flying monkeys, and I'm not afraid to use them," along with some clothes.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!

At first there was a bit of difficulty finding the place as I've only been to High Park once before that, but it wasn't too difficult, since we found some people with Canadian flags fairly quickly. Once we found the Cafe it wasn't hard to find the deviants since it was a huge turnout. Apparently there were about 140 people.

$spyed showed us a few awesome new additions to the website including profiles, groups and updates to the search function. It all sounded really awesome and I can't wait. When I was over with the photography people (we split up into different types of art) we also gave a bunch of suggestions to $Moonbeam13.

Sorry *Blacklemon67 for not mentioning it! Not sure if you could have come anyway, but I knew there was someone we forgot to call about it, and when I asked ~WeAreZeitgeist I thought that was it. Didn't remember until we were already there. Apologies!

DFTBA!

Oh, and I'm going away for the month of July, so expect a bunch of pictures from my trip, but I don't think I'll have much, if any, access to a computer.

A select few people will know what I mean by that title (I'm not going to go into too much detail about that unless someone wants me to explain). But in short, I'm part of a bunch of people known as Nerdfighters who are not made of flesh and blood, but rather of awesome.

One of the guys who started Nerdfighters (Hank Green) co-founded DFTBA records, which is a a record company that has so far signed a bunch of artists from YouTube who they think are quite talented and give them a place to sell their album and stuff (DaveDays is one person they've signed).

DFTBA Records has two websites: DFTBA.com [link] and their site at ReverbNation [link] . ReverbNation is, as I gather, a community of record labels, artists and fans. I've joined the site and I've also become part of DFTBA's "Street Team." (We're getting to the main point, just hang on a little longer!) What the Street Team does, is we are volunteers who choose to partake in little missions (that are completely optional) set by DFTBA and we advertise (in things like blogs and journals, like I'm doing now).

The current mission is to get as many other people as you can to sign up to be part of the street team via your widget. We've been given embed codes that we can add to places which is a quick way for people to join the street team (although it would help if you join reverbnation.com). The prize? The person who gets the most people to join by this Saturday (June 6) will win a free iPod Shuffle fully loaded with music from DFTBA records.

Why am I telling you this?
I, to be blunt, really want to win this. It's not often (if ever) that I ask you guys to join websites and things, but I really think that the artists supported by DFTBA Records are very talented and I also want an ipod. So if you won't do it for me, join to spread the word about DFTBA Records.
(And if you will do it for me, if you would spread the link to my blogspot around I will less than three you forever <3 )

My widget can be found on my new blog: [link]


Thanks, and Don't Forget To Be Awesome!

Today has been a lovely day. I found yet another new singer/songwriter/band or whatever you'd like to call him who can be found here: [link] . That's who I'm listening to now. Also, I quite like Tom Milsom [link] .

I also got Google Chrome today. It's lovely. When I asked my dad and he said yes, I walked down the hall and then when I was out of sight I spontaneously burst into my happy dance. I haven't done that in a while. It was really funny when I imagined what I must look like. I've never done it in front of a mirror or anything, so I don't really know what I look like.

I have found this website through YouTube called...DailyBooth!
Alright, the point of this journal is to find recruits *cough* so that I have some friends that I know and don't look like such a stalker following awesome YouTube people *cough*

Anyway, I understand that some of you may be against the whole "having your face on the internet" thing, but it really is quite interesting. The idea behind it is that you upload/snap a photo once every day to see how you change over time.

I'll admit that the Internet = no photos people do have something on this site in that anyone can see your photos. No, you don't have to be friends or even a member to see the pictures posted on this website. However, it has been idiot proofed. The main page is all about getting people to join the site, and there's this one little remote button that will take you to find pictures of people...so yeah.

If you already have it and want to be my friend, just let me know! I'm sure you can guess what my username over there is.

Now, I realize that I'm not in the UK, but many people are, and just incase someone from the UK comes along and sees this go help Tom out. He has more information on his channel.

----------

Found this in ^shebid's journal:

1 - Open [link]
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
(alternatively, if the first article you hit is short, hit Random Article two more times.)

2 - Open [link]
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Open [link]
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

My results are:
Band Name - 181 Fremont Street
Album Name - Aiming At What's Far
Album Cover - [link]

In my opinion that's pretty awesome, how it turned out.

-----------

So anyway, I realize that I haven't been very active lately, but I've been busy...kind of. I've been working on a few things for DA recently, but I just can't get myself focused enough to finish them. I've also become quite enamored with YouTube. I don't really have much else to say...

Oh, and I'm dropping the 100 Theme Challenge. I'm dropping it because I've realized that I really just quite apathetic about it. I draw all sorts of things, but I never actually go and make things for that purpose. I may not actually be dropping it, but don't expect anything any time soon...or do, since just because I've written that I'm likely to go out and work on it when it's daylight.

School holidays were supposed to have begun after the school day Friday was over, but the buses were cancelled, and my mum said that she wouldn't drive me home if I went, so I stayed home. We had an ongoing English assignment due that day too! We were talking to him (English teacher) on Thursday asking him, "What if buses are cancelled?" And he kept saying "Well, what's your point?" We informed him that most of our English class is bussed...more than 3/4. He then told us that he was going to be 'optimistic' about it. Well, it was a snowday and I convinced my mum to drive me and I ran into some classmates and I asked them to pass along an 'I told you so' for me (he'd take it in good fun), but I really don't think they did. Ah well. At least I finished...even though I was working on it the morning of. Hehe.

What I find a bit funny, is that in 2007 on New Years, Panic! At The Disco performed 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies' and 'Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off' (actual song title) at times Square...and they totally didn't censor the songs. xD
Lying Is The Most Fun: [link]
I Write Sins: [link]

Christmas is on Thursday! I have almost all my wrapping done and stuff...although I still need to get one more thing (a book she wanted) for my mum. Fail: Somebody put a Santa gift (still not sure if my little brother knows or not...) under the tree yesterday, or at least, that's when I noticed. xD

Yeah. Happy Christmas! Or Happy whatever you happen to celebrate.

Naming deviations...it can be incredibly troublesome. But at any rate, I really do have plenty to upload and I sincerely hope that I'll be able to get them up soon (for real this time).

I'm also going to link my deviations to the 100 Theme Challenge that I temporarily forgot about...

Until next time!

P.S: You can listen to the main theme for Howl's Moving Castle here: [link] . It's a brilliant piece...I've been listening to it since I got home.

P.P.S: If anybody pays attention to what I'm reading at the moment, please do not JUST read The Robots of Dawn. It is a fabulous book, however, it is the third installment of a series, the first book being The Caves of Steel, and the second being The Naked Sun. I reccomend it to all those who enjoy reading science fiction.

I suppose it really is something you just have to be there for.

My homeroom generally consists of the same people as the past two years, minus a few people, plus a few new faces. All quite interesting...

Anyways, there isn't really much point to this journal...whith the exception of updating.


I'm trying to work on a new style of drawing people. I'm trying to get out of the straight anime, commonly associated with: "OOH SHINY DESU DESU!!" and am working on my shading techniques as well.

In the mean time however, most of the stuff I'll be adding shall be relatively old work.

From

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.
"How does a book thief end up kneeling and howling and flanked by a man-made heap of ridiculous, greasy, cooked up rubble?"
-The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you reach?
Speaker!

3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
The Weather Channel this morning before school.

4. Without looking, guess what time it is:
5:45 PM

5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?
5:48

6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
Dunn dunn, dun dun...Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.

7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?
I was coming home from school...well, actually I was buying tickets for this thing that's only five dollars with student cards and her mum took us! But yeah, coming home.

8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at?
A chat window with a friend.

9. What are you wearing?
T-shirt, jeans, sweater...socks!

10. Did you dream last night?
Oh geez, it was a WEIRD dream. I don't remember most of it though.

11. When did you last laugh?
My dad was doing an impression of Fog Horn Leg Horn (character from the Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show) and it was so funny! "Now pay 'tention boy! See that sign over there? D-O-G, SPELLS CHICKEN BOY! Now go get 'em!" xD

12. What are on the walls you are in?
Last I checked, I'm not residing within a wall, however there is a weird poster for technology and advances...o_O (my dad's a techie), some of his degrees and paint!

I saw a lisence plate that spelled 'FLUFFIES'. I took a picture with my camera phone.

It's an interesting distraction.

15. What is the last film you saw?
...Tropic Thunder, with Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Tom Cruise (although you don't know it's him until they tell you). It was funny in a sick sort of way...think of it this way, it was rated 14+, was supposed to be a comedy and the main comedic focus was not sexual...

16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
A DeviantART subscription!!

17. Tell me something about you that I don't know.
Well, I don't think you know that I temporarily thought I was an elf when I was little...

Same as previous.

23. Would you ever consider living abroad?
Definitely.

24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?

There is just so much prejudice in our world. It can be difficult to overcome, but I'd like to encourage both anyone reading this and myself to try to break through both it and people's expectations. Try to get over these things. I congradulate for her brilliant cosplaying: [link] .

A very though provoking read comes from my good friend , [link] and [link] .

Another recommendation, read What Happened to Lani Garver by Carol Plum-Ucci.

Now I'd like to ask you to post your comments on what you believe we as the community of the world could do to better ourselves.
