this isn't a bad thing, its good to realise how shit you are sometimes and i mean its not surprising that the majority of the crap i have uploaded here is shit, i didn't know what i was doing. i'm no 'artist'. i'm a friggen graphic designer. and contrary to what many designers think, design isn't art. what is art anyway?. ugh thats a conversation for another day.

and wow! its been years since i posted last. seriously like 2 years. last journal entry was freakin the sigur ros one! man that was a good show.

freakin sweet! the imperial march just popped up on my playlist. what luck!

anyway
thats all for now.
maybe i'll update again in another 2 years... maybe i won't! don't hold your breath!

lol so my job sucks so much hahah!!!!
it's so funny that my laast journal entry was like OMG JOB YAYAYYY!!1

it sucks
it's soul sucking, i'm making beautiful work for people who just don't appreciate it (small businesses - read: cheap bastards), and worst of all, i fucking HATE my boss so much (seriously he's the most pompous, fucked up, freakishly ANNOYING MAN ON THE PLANET)
I work with 2 other women, they do sales, and they are the awesomest girls ever, i love them, but my boss man.. god.

its horrible!


so um yeah
soz for not being active
i haven't uploaded anything in .. holy shit, months

the reason being that work is unbelievably busy and i don't even have time for internets!

i'll eventually get around to showing you guys some of the crap i've been doing at work. it's nice to be working for actual clients and meeting a bunch of new people but seriously, omg these people are SO CHEAP and have no idea *sigh*

one good thing that has happened this week is i have been picked up by a woman who runs a carwash (i know sounds tacky, but it's .. a really nice car wash, lol!) and she's involved with this like, canterbury university research and development project to help with a bunch of stuff in Tonga (reducing plastics waste, saving the coconut crab, getting computers for schools, developing hospitals, improving biosecurity stuffs etc) with the hope that it will, if it takes off, be taken to other places like south america, etc. my involvement will be to brand the whole thing - the umbrella "brand" which is something like ecoCare public trust or something hippy like that, and also i think theres something like 8 "sub-brands" for each stem of the initiative. The reason i'm involved is because they need to apply to the government for funding, and well, everyone knows, the more professional and legitimate something looks, the more likely they are to get what they want!

it's seriously big, especially for someone like me who has like.. no experience. it will look fantastico on my CV, and hopefully get me in contact with a few people that are more than likely to help my career (andrea, the woman from the car wash is already incredibly 'connected' and she thinks the sun shines out my arse, so i'm a shoe in, lol..) so yah i am excited

its something creative to take my mind off the fact that i hate my job heh!

ooh motorhead just came on, time to rock out (with my..er cock.. out!)

i promise i'll TRY and show you's some stuff. it's all rubbish though, so don't expect anything fancy shmancy. i have like an hour to come up with the stuff i do at work, you'll see what i mean

god could i have written any more of a friggen novel here!
soz dudes

Watching: last one i saw was war of the worlds, was good

hooray for me!

I got a job!

my old college referred a job to me (aparrently my tutor suggested i apply) for a firm thats starting up here in chch, and i got it!
it was down to me and one other person and i got it yayyy

it's pretty lucky really, its the only/first job i applied for, and i would have been pretty rooted if i didn't get it (i am totally poorrrr) so i am pretty stoked as you can imagine!

he said my portfolio and work and everything was stand out and he was glad he hired me because otherwise i would be SNAPPED UP!

how nice/weird it is to hear this about yourself D:!

so i am the only designer. i do all the work, i get all the control. its not highly "creative" work but it's a fucken 9-5 mon-friday deal which i am so insanely happy about. i've been working weekends my entire friggin life and its over nowwww!
i am handing in my notice at my old job today

this weekend i am totally getting sloshed with pals ( such as *inchworm ), because another of my friends also got a job! HOORAY!

Watching: a variety of movies. star wars next week omg

I graduated school yesterday
i have a Diploma in Communication Art and Design now
hooray!

now i have to get a job
I"m really hoping the business takes off so i don't actually have to get a real job

This is what they say of me:


" Sarah has shown herself to be a proficient designer, who has developed considerable creative and technical skills throughout the year. She has a natural, intuitive sense of design which has been enhanced with her ability to understand and experiment with the digital aspects of computer based design. She is a talented person, who is always open to creative challenges, growth and development.

In her use fo the software, Sarah has always endeavoured to find ways of exploring its potential to help her resolve design ideas, which has proved instructive, both for her and others around her. Sarah is a generous and unselfish designer, willing to share her "discoveries" and recognise the abilities of others. This openness has meant that sarah has been a valuable member of the group.

Sarah has been a pleasure to work with. I believe that she would be a positive member of any design studio/agency, and I wish her well in the future."

Reading: Star Wars (the magic of myth) don't laugh its good
Watching: Constantine

so i went to see constantine last night
it was really good. which is weird cos i actually don't believe in god or anything. it was probably my favourite of the recent barrage of comic book movies. tilda swinton was fucking marvellous as gabriel. keanu was pretty good by his standards
i really enjoyed it.
i don't like how demons are portrayed though. not just in this movie, but in all movies that have demons in them. they always look so.. stupid.
but y'know, i realise why that is - i mean, has anyone actually ever SEEN one to base it on?
no.
so yeah.

next on the list is Closer (really looking forward to that) and possibly teh aviat0r.

watched Kung foo hustle not long ago - lmfao it is so marvellous, seriously!
also i've watched napoleon dynamite a lot. i've seeen it sooo many times it's getting ridiculous. but it's just so funny and cute and i can't help but say "real quick" like all the time.
can i just see that real quick?
are you guys having a killer time?

so good.

school is crazy busy, huge assignment was handed in on friday, it's now sunday and i have enjoyed two days of doing nothing. NOTHING!!
i do have more assignments due so that is a bit lame, but really nothing i can't handle

i am still as poor as i ever was. i have a few jobs right now, design jobs, which is good, but i really want to get paid now, not when i've finished the work haha
stupid work.
it's fun work though, and one of the clients is super lovely - she's just so wonderful and laid back and rich. it's fabuuu


some people bought some of my prints the other day! i was so surprised and happy it makes me feel squishy to know that people have my work on their wall! wweeeee!
<3

i hope you guys are all having a killer time. i love your sleeves, i caught you a delicious bass, and grandma just called and said you're supposed to go home, she says she doesn't want you here when she gets back because you''ve been ruining everybody's lives and eatin' all our STEAK!! (i heart napoleon)

School has been a bit hectic, but we have 3 weeks holiday over xmas/new years, so thats nice. I am working a lot though, so yeah thats a bit shit. Its nice to be able to relax a bit though
I'm surprised they haven't deleted my account or something haha. I have a few lifedrawings that i'm pretty pleased with so i might submit them. other than that all the non-school-or-freelance work that i've done are my xmas cards this year! haha.. sadd... just too busy
they're cool cards though


tell me how you are, if you remember who i am.
I still stalk you guys from time to time, i still <3 you all!!
Take care

Listening to: Smashing Pumpkins - Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
Reading: We - Yevgeny Zamyatin
Watching: SkyCaptain

yesterday, i got off the bus, and a car hit a duck on the road. They saw it, yet they still kept going. Why people don't regard ducks as being as important as other animals and are comfortable with performing a hit and run on them is beyond me. (i love ducks btw, don't ask me why, just do!).. The story gets better, however, because the lady who got off the bus at the same time as i did noticed the duck getting hit when i didn't. I turned around to see the duck flailing around on the ground, it wasn't squished or anything. but it had a bleeding head. The woman didn't quite know what to do, so i put down my groceries and bag and went and picked the poor terrified duck up and took it to the grass on the side of the road. A lot of traffic had built up and people were all like wtf is going on! (but at least they stopped!)
A lady stopped her car and came to help, and another couple in a car came to help also, and said that they would take the poor creature to the vet. Luckily there is a vet at the end of our street, so the lady in the car rushed over with a blanket, wrapped the duck up and away they went up the road. Yesterday i had faith that no matter how shitty the world has become, how ruthless and mean and all that stuff people are, there are still good people who care. That really is something to hold onto, especially when the world is in such dire straits.

the book i mentioned at the top there, i finished today. it was amazing! they say it inspired 1984, which i can totally see, though it is very different. all about totalitarian society.
they both had totally lecherous women in them, which i like makes life a lot more interesting, doesn't it.

i've decided that i need to put a lot more effort into my school work this term, i need to get more A's
i'm averaging a b+ to an a, so thats pretty good i think. but i know i can do much better. so i am really going to apply myself this term. it's tough when you have a lot of other work to do, like design work i mean (yes i actually got some freelance work, designing websites, banner ads, posters and postcards *glee*). i guess it's just a matter of knucking down, getting it done as quick as possible and moving on to the next thing.

we got 2 assignments in the first 2 days back at college.. heh, one is a 9 week jobbie, involving poster design and booklet design, which i am thoroughly looking forward to--finally something that i can put some sort of creative effort into, not some friggin logo/business card/letterhead or ughhrhhghghhh newsletters. i hate that shit.. it's just so droll. i'm going to do it super fast so i can get onto this other one--though i'm sure we'll get about ten million other assignments in the meantime--just to piss me off, of course.

gosh what a lot of writing..
i am so sorry i don't post more, i do check everyones stuff semi-regularly, i just don't have the time to comment--and i feel really bad about this. i am sorrysorrysorry!
Scrubs is on telly now, so i am going to curl up in bed (it is so cold today!) and watch it and laugh and go to sleep afterwards. unless i decide to watch buffy as well.. haha

i love and appreciate you all, and i hope your lives are happy, whatever you are doing

]]> `drownsoda http://drownsoda.deviantart.com/journal/1243195/ http://drownsoda.deviantart.com/journal/1243195/ Mon, 06 Oct 2003 15:51:05 PDT last night i got sick
i felt it coming on from about 6pm
by 10pm i was in my bed shaking uncontrollably and that lasted for about 2 hours. i must have fallen asleep somehow, but i woke up at 3am, then 4am and every maybe 1.5 hours after that
shaking
couldn't breathe cos my throat was so sore
i still can't really talk or swallow because it hurts so much
now it's 11.46am on tuesday morning and i've been waking and falling asleep every hour or so and i'm SO hot and cold and shivery
i'm sick as
it's amazing how quickly these things come on ]]> `drownsoda http://drownsoda.deviantart.com/journal/1220556/ http://drownsoda.deviantart.com/journal/1220556/ Tue, 30 Sep 2003 12:58:53 PDT i'm simplifying to the max0rz

i'm moving myself away from the total realism of things and focusing on simplicity
simplicity is beautiful
design is beatuiful
sarah loves design. yesyes

not to say that i won't do the odd superhyperreal self obsessive picture of myself (oh yes and i also have some pictures of windows i want to get done) i just want to focus on the "DESIGN" elements etceteraaaa
i'm also very interested in old b movie girls
awesome

so
expect different things coming from me
it's an exciting time ]]> `drownsoda http://drownsoda.deviantart.com/journal/1189399/ http://drownsoda.deviantart.com/journal/1189399/ Sun, 21 Sep 2003 21:51:59 PDT i have a week off and i want it to be EXTREMELY productive.
i am armed with a digital camera and flash mx so the possiblities should be endless
but i can't think of anything
