i woke up at a little after 1 am from semi lucid dreams about how i was marrying some woodland creatures to eachother, but a spider had crawled straight through my head and with its web it was trying to pull my brain out of my right ear. there were yellow and green birds flapping around and they were shaped like the inside of an ear. also, the pain that i felt was green colored. don't ask me why.

so after lying in AGONY for an hour and looking up "what a ruptured eardrum feels like" on google, i got out of bed and popped a couple of tylenol into my system. then it only took another two hours for the drugs to kick in, but as soon as they did this incessant buzzing started in only my right ear.

deciding that considering that i probably wouldn't fall asleep until, maybe, 7 hours later at this point, i got up, ate some food, and tried to fix the roots of my hair.

i bleach my hair pretty severely. seriously, every 4-6 weeks. i try to just stick to the roots at this point 'cause otherwise i end up with yellow roots for about 1.5 inches and the rest of my hair being white. my hair is fried. and probably about 5 inches worth of hair is white anyway. i don't mind it. i actually kind of like it. but when your hair is so tangled and you're dying it yourself a lot of the ends can get mixed up with the roots, even when you're trying NOT to.

all the ends that were white, are now unintentionally grey. my beautician friend says it's "because using an A, NA or V with levels 8-12 with result in color oxidation such as this in order to achieve a lighter less gold blonde that is most common with platinum levels of course."

... of course.

and to top it all off, it's not even 6 am! i'm sure looking forward to the other horrors this day has in store for me.

basically, i found my digital camera and took pictures of everything worth taking. that i made this past spring. a total of (technically, but not really) 32 deviations D8 sorry for swamping your inboxes!! :[]

i'm most proud of the books. :] x a lot.

everybody is job hunting. including me.

i'll be 20 in just eight more days!! that's wicked scary. TWO DECADES OLD. i'll probably die in only FOUR MORE DECADES. which isn't a lot of time to do everything i want.
for now, what i want to do is finish school. there are only 3 weeks left and eight "final" projects left to do. ha. ha. ha. ha. for 4 classes. ha. ha. ha. ... ha. *dies*
earlier today i pulled a 'back when i was a TEENAGER...' and my boyfriend(fianceman!!) called me out on it. whatevs. i feel like i'm 20. or even 26. UGH.

I've made soooo much art this semester. and it's awesome. and i love my computer and adobe cs3. <333 that's why there's a sudden increase in the digital.... and it's easier to upload (no scanning required).

heyyyyimadeablogtonight! [link]
there's pretty much the same of everything, but i'll be using it in place of a website when professionals ask. .. and in place of DA. it's easier/less embarrassing/more professional.

I don't know HOW long it's been.

Basically my muse is gone. Or... well... I'll just say it. I want to draw goldfish. A lot. But I have zero motivation. That's no good. Especially if I'm going to make it in this world as anything artistically.
Back to the fish, I don't know how to draw them. Anatomically, I mean. And I'm just far to lazy to GOOGLE "goldfish" and sketch a few for some reference so I get the hang of how they look. It's really stupid.
It's not like I haven't been drawing though.. They're just all silly self-portraits that only one friend sees. Mmmyeah.. That's it. That's my summer. ZERO creativity. It feels a little weird.

I visited some friends on the West coast a few weeks ago and they had a PS2 and Kingdom Hearts which I FINALLY got to play. Now I wanna buy one and get on the KHII bandwagon. Woowoot. Aaaahhh sooo good! But I'm working the rest of the summer to SAVE money before school starts in September and then I've got to concentrate on studying again. So no more games until winter break. Bleh.

... I just need to start drawing again.

I'm sorry for not being here. I'm trying to start over with replying to comments and watching the people I watch and such... uhh.. yeah... ... yeah...

!!!!

So now that I'm 19, nothing special happens. It's like, just my last year of teenagedom.

In other news, SCHOOL GETS OUT IN TWO WEEKS. !!!!
AMAAAAAZING!
I've got final projects up the wazzoo and then late homework assignments and blahblahblah not cool... but once its all done it will be. I've been focusing on my dreams a lot this semester, and that's what a couple'a these projects are about.. maybe you'll see 'em, maybe you won't. But you probably will.

I know I've only done a couple of those free sketches, BUT I'M GETTING THERE!!
I honestly tried to draw a furry lobster and couldn't. Mostly I was just shocked that they actually existed and looked like gay Brazilian men. Way to stereotype, Carly! irAWSUM.
Andithinkthattherearemonstersandsomethingelseforjohn....maybe...andthenmaybesomethingELSE??

Anywhooo, a couple questions for you:

How is everyone?

Do you ever notice how you ALWAYS manage to wake up early on your birthday? Even if you're not excited about it? And I mean, we're talking inappropriately early.

AND!:
Who's excited for spring? And tulips!!?

I'm gonna try my hardest to actually do this... please keep the requests to stuff i can ACTUALLY do along with homework and such, you know?

Here are the rules:

The first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a sketch, free.
However, in return, you must offer 10 free sketches in your own journal. (I don't really care if you do, but it's fun to continue the gifts; It would be nice of you if you would, at least, I'm giving you a free picture, why shouldn't you?)
If you've already done 10 Free Sketches, recently, simply link the journal entry in your comment... You still qualify.
Uhh.. no more than 2 characters per drawing. : D Other than that, have at it!!
(ps! nothing raunchy!!)

~Abinition made a loverly drawing for meee!! GO SEE!!

Oh gads. I've got about 20 sketches to upload already. : [] that should be fun and time consuming.

Probably a year and a half ago.
Sorry, they're kinda boring.

I have heartburn. D:

Oh gosh, this is soooo all over the place.

I officially like ALL of my classes this semester, now. Because I dropped the class that I hated. HAAAAAaaaaaaahhhh DX
But that's the way to go. 'Cause why would you be in a class that FREAKS you out with a teacher you hate and absolutely no interest in the subject matter with no promise or even potential of growth? Yeah, that's what I thought.
So I like my classes, and feel like maybe I don't need to freak out so much. Probably I don't need to freak out so much.

And it's STILL going soooo slowly. I guess that's probably 'cause I'm rusty though... All my teachers give prompts that we HAVE to work off of. Usually it's pretty boring work that I produce. Classroom work. :/
Ahh... well. I'll be back there in a week or so again. I do love it.

I've been dreaming CRAZY dreams about dragons and sand castles that are actual castles and motorcycles and ninjas and pirates and looooots.

I'll tell you:

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.

Order of the Phoenix was disappointing and lackluster.


In other news, I have heartburn.

In BETTER news, ~Megajon and I have started something FUNNNN. We've agreed to draw at least once a day, every day until... . . however long this is going until, and we upload the drawings onto a shared blog. This is amazing.

KNOW WHY??

Because it makes me draw every day :]

And doing it as a team is so much better than doing it alone. I mean, if you say how you're gonna ... not eat chocolate or exercise every day for a month... i mean... unless you've got GREAT self-discipline or someone bothering you the entire time, then you'll probably back down and forget about the plan entirely.
Bummer.

BUT WITH TWO, it's different. It's encouraging.

YAY.
Bullets:

My computer's fixed. It's been broken for a while-- since, like... November? Yeah, November. BUTNOWIT'SFIXED. And running all nice and swell. SO THIS MEANS!!!!:

ART!

sigh. It's coming. ... Really, really slowly. Really.

I actually haven't drawn in three weeks because my life's been CRAAAAZY full. D: BUT!!!!!!:

school's over! DONE! FOREVERoratleastuntilthefall. So I've got all of this free time that I've got NO idea what to even start doing.
Actually, those are lies. I know what I'd like to do (i.e., draw, DRAAAAAW, paint, read, sing, etc.), but I've got zero... zest. Everything I scribble out just feels stale and done. ( oh no. I just ate too much Top Ramen noodles. D: They were tasty though.) I need something new... something liiiiikkkkkeee... ARTSCHOOL! Which i'm pretty psyched about and ... oh.... UUUUUUUUUUUGHAHGHSOIFIKLMMaisglfkaieorgj kftoomuchtopramen.

Sorry. I'm done now. This was a crappy entry, but i just needed to let someone know that I haven't died and now that my computer's back i SUPER haven't died.

one last bullet:

i got a tattoo.


OOOOH SNAP. pictures later.

That time when there are 4,144+ deviation notices, and 500+ messages to reply to. That time when Carly's just too tired of not trying to keep up that she GIVES up entirely. That time when the inbox will be blank.

YUP.

DELETING TIME.

And I feel terrible about it.
I really, DO want to keep up, but if I don't check it for like, 3 days or something there's already 542.53 more deviations and 20+ journals every day. Guh. So I'm sorry if I don't reply to a wonderfully amazing comment or fave, or thank you for the watch. I am not all that wonderful about the upkeep. D:

So... Mailbox is cleared.


Now it's time for something else: Bullets!!

Prom.
About two weeks ago my co-worker, blah blah blah blah BLAHHHH BLAHblahtiy blah blah bleeh bloop blahp. Short and short of it: I've got a prom date for Thursday night. My dress is incredibly 80's and trendy and in 10 years I'll be cringing when I look at pictures of the night. But it'll be fun.
I hope so anyway.
I hope so a lot.

School is barely moving. Yeahhhup. .. . . .

My mind is flowing with creative thoughts, but no real artistic inspiration! D: AKA: A MASSIVE LACK OF ARTWORK.

D:



Triple-grad Party.
Mherghh.. Mom and my sister are both graduating from their levels of education (respectively) this year as welllll as me. So we've got Highschool (moi), College (sister), and College (mom).
Mom's decided it would be best to jumble all of the celebratory celebrations together into one tri-partay. That's this weekend. And... I don't like parties. Mostly because I don't like having to interact with people. (Heh, *ANTISOCIAL*)
Oh well. I'll get to recite my life-plan for the next year by following the same questions that I'll receive from people. ("What are you doing for college?"
"I'm going to MassArt."
"Oooer.."
"... It's in Boston, right up the street from the MFA with the fens behind it."
"Ohhahher... "
"..."
"Are you excited? Will you be living on campus? Oh, the dorms are right across the street?! That'll be nice. Yes, you'll get a MUCH better experience living in the city and at the college. Just the college experience. What's your major? Ohherr.. what are you going to do with Illustration? BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.") It happens the same way almost every. single. time.

Bahh.

I'm really hungry.

What swings round and round cathedrals wrapped in only cellophane?

I've been working full time this week.
8-4:30. 40 hours total. Which is good in a way 'cause it equals big moolah. (Cuh-CHING!) It's bad 'cause... I'm working full time this week.

My birthday's on Saturday
There will be no work and waking up to best friendness and laser tag and ice cream cake and LASER TAG. Hopefully prismacolor markers too... oh man. Thooose, I would love. Ell-oh-vee-ee. LOVE.

COLLEGE: I'm going to MassArt :] Definitely!
The campus is perfect. The whole school fits me way more than I could have ever imagined. I'm glad that I won't be too far away from home 'cause I'll miss certain people (others... not so much), and need to do my laundry somewhere.
I've sent my deposit for both the spot at the school and room and board. ... I'm going to send a nice letter to RISD though.. to make sure they know how much I do honor being accepted there. Sigh.. I'm still a little bitter about that.

I'm back on another block. ;_;
This isn't fair. It's just 'cause I get stuck on ONE piece. Gahh. My mind's creative though. And the plotlines thicken and scribble and teeny tiny stories are written and hoped to be one day pieced together.
Anyway, I'm stuck. I hate being stuck. I feel guilty drawing anything that I'm not supposed to be drawing because it's not being productive.
Speaking of not being productive..:

School is... . school. I have a month and a half to finish a lot of work. I doubt that I have the motivation to do it, too. Like.. It's just not there right now.

Spring is here! (No tulips yet though. Just daffodils.)

I washed my sheets a few hours ago. They're going to smell all nice and cleeean! (This didn't really deserve a bullet.)

When girls get jobs, they get money. They go and buy loads and loads of clothes that they don't need and look terrible on them anyway. But I don't.
Instead, I buy CDs. I'm a bit of a music junkie. ... A lot of a music junkie actually. I've bought exactly 14 albums within the past four weeks alone.
I think I need to slow down even if it IS all music that I adore and listen to. It's just too much to handle at once.

... Heh. In the past four weeks, the items of clothes that I've bought are as follows:
A shirt
Six pairs of black socks
Leggings
A belt

... That's it. I contemplated getting an umbrella for a time, but then decided against it since I'm not really one for umbrellas.

My mom's making me clean my room now. D: And ... I can't protest. It's REALLY bad. Worse than any of my other friends' rooms. Any of my other friends who happen to be boys. Gosh, REALLY BAD.
I'll write more later.


Okay, so now it's like, a week later. After all of my beingsickness. Boy, THAT was sure fun. I've been on anti-virals for 5 days now and all that I'm left with is a nasty-A cough that makes it so I can't sing. And... that kinda sucks. But it's better than having influenza for 3 weeks like some people I know...

I got into MassArt. And it's probably where I'll end up going, because... sigh.

I forgot to fill out Financial Aid at each individual school. I did the FAFSA, but not the school requirements. SO. No financial aid will be coming in for either school. How great is that?!

NOT GREAT AT ALL. X~X;;;;;

So I'll probably be going to Boston because I can't afford RISD. Even if I DO get into it... People've been telling me that money shouldn't hinder where I choose to go to school though. ...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I just don't know.

I hear back from RISD in this next week. And I'm kind of hoping that my decision will be made for me.

Oh well. I just think too much... in the best sense. Not keeping myself up with worrying or overanalyzing anything. I don't want to think anymore. All I want is to shut downnnnn and sleep...I just had a lot of caffein tonight and kind of forgot that I had until about 15 minutes ago. Equally perfect!

I've read about eight books in the last two weeks alone, and more books so far this year than I read the whole of last year combined times 5. Does that mean that I have no life?

Yes.

The past three days have been nothing short of superb. Weather-wise, I mean. But I hear that we're supposed to have snow this weekend. : []

PERRRRRRRRRFECT IS JUST THE WORD OF THE WEEHOURSOFTHEMORNFORCARLY!

Sorry. I'm not to happy about the snow.

I want spring!! NO snow, no cold and-- sleep. I want sleep.

i reallyreally really reallyrelayrealyelrleyalryelyalyrlyalery lyreally really

like drawing.
Especially when I get these random ideas or doodles explode into something much much more than they were planned to be. Gosh. I'm doing something right now, but every time I've ever told anyone that I'm doing this certain something I've always given up shortly after, so I'm not telling you what it is that I'm doing that I'm really excited about. REEEEALLYVERYMUCHSO excited about. And I want to draw like a madwoman but I feel like I don't have enough time/skill to do anything that I envision anymore. I'll just have to try harder.

I have some stuff to upload... I wonder if I shalllllllll...?

I want school to be done and I want the summer to come.
Right now.


I suck for not keeping up with all of my Dev watches. I've got 2000+ AGAIN to look at >_x;;
Great.
AND. I'm also a jerk for not replying to comments or thanking for faves or watches. How does one GET this bad?

!!!!!!!

the grin can't even express my exuberance.
BUT I BET BIG WORDS COULD!!
... if i knew a lot.
which i kind of do, but not offhand.


ANYWAY.
i just wanted to say that I finished the portfolios and mailed them off and they will arive at RISD and MassArt tomorrow by noon at the latest : D
TWO DAYS before the deadline.
I'm just full of the happy.

so much so in fact,
that after i fold laundry and shower,
i might just draw me a valentines day picture... heh. don't know what mood it'll be. D:

So.. uhh... sigh. Another brief update:

I totaled my parents car exactly a week after I got my driver's license. It was and wasn't my fault at the same time. It was in a highschool parking lot that's an hour away from my home. No one was hurt.

My license miiight be suspended 'cause I was driving my friend across the parking lot to his own car since it was freaking SNOWING. And I don't just mean, snow. I mean SNOW. Big fat flakes with ice undernieth 4 inches of fresh snow.

Yaaaaay.


I have less than a week to finish the portfolio. It's going... uhh... .. well, it's going.


My boyfriend and I broke up like two days after I wrote that last blog, so that set me into yet another fit of depression. .. I'm better now.


My Trooper beast is on the road and he's getting used to me still... I AAAAALMOST have the hang of clutch.


Life isn't completely dismal though. I AM almost done with the portfolio, and that will be sent off and off of my chest for a while. I DID get my license. My.. uhh.. gah, ex and I are still amazing friends, which apparently doesn't happen often. I bought the new FoB cd today, which probably isn't importand to most/all of you, but it was AMAZING to me, haha. AND I found out today that the release date of the next Potter book is July 21st. I'm probably the last HP fan to know. Great.
BUT! I still know! :]


So I'm trying not to stress and just... grow up. :/ It's harder than it looks. And technically I'm good.



P.S. I had someone tell me, "I could see you as, later on in life, being a legal pot-smoker hippie, and sitting in front of a canvas, nude while you paint."

Hahaha, I don't let my own sister see me in a bra and underwear, let alone NAKED.
I love it when people make insanely ridiculous assumptions about you. Feel like sharing any that people have had about you?

1 smexy lookin cowboy.
1 Sylvia Chains.
1 'cool' shirt design. Or rather, a cool design to go on a shirt.
4 Characters of ~sylverwind's that I forget the names for D:

... there are probably even more that I've just forgotten about D:
gah..

i feel sooo effing drained. this portfolio is killing my muse (which REALLY wants to be active), and i have to spend all of my free time drawing stuff that i don't want to draw. and i worked all day. and i smell. so now, after i've stopped shaking from all that wondddderful runningaroundthehospitalandalmostpassing out-ness, i'm going to take a shower.
and then i'm going to finish my 'interior environment' drawing, and maybe start on the bike. if not, then i'm totally sleeping or playing ff3.


i've officially got the college fever. You know, the one where you start hyperventilating at the thought of not being accepted to your dream school (RISD).
oh well.

i'm going to eat some cookiedough and get on that drawing thing. 'cause i wanna be a fat, cookiedough eating, graduate from RISD in four years.

actually not that fat part. but i bet if i eat only cookiedough, i will be DX

downersgoup: I was watching a national spelling bee from 97 last sunday
downersgoup: or maybe 2 sundays ago
downersgoup: in any case
downersgoup: the kids were homies
downersgoup: to the enth degree
downersgoup: and...hehehe...the girl that was winning was like, a total spaz
downersgoup: and so on her last word, which would win her the competition,
downersgoup: she knew the word REALLY well
downersgoup: so she knew she would spell it right
downersgoup: so she just starts SCREAMING the letters into the mic
downersgoup: but like, really slowly
downersgoup: and definitively
downersgoup: and she has this totally CRAZED look
downersgoup: and she's clenched her fists in this unholy matrimony between palm and fingers
downersgoup: and like, shaking her arms
downersgoup: it
downersgoup: was
downersgoup: hysterical
downersgoup: both literally and figuratively.
downersgoup: I was thinking..."Wow...God bless home-schooling."


God bless homeschooling, indeed.

My grandmother still likes to think that since we're homeschooled, we should be as smart and anal as those spelling-bee kids.
We're not.
In fact, I'm pretty stupid, and, well... if not for my good looks... OX]

My back hurts. And I can't stop thinking thinking thinking. Sigh... I need to be able to get up tomorrow. Ahh well, at the worst I'll sleep in until 11 and make a mad rush to clean my room and shower before a road lesson and then get home and clean my room some more and then go to driver's ed.

UGH.
I need to go through my music and take out all the spongebob soundtrack songs that are in there, 'cause they keep coming up on the shuffle. I always forget though.

Gosh there's really no point to this journal entry... Mainly it's just that. ... A journal entry. I actually have nothing to say that could enlighten you about anything or something terribly witty to say to make you laugh or actually think. I also have nothing to inform you of. So you might as well check out some other, betterthanme artist's journal and see if whatever THEY have to say is informative or if you benifit from it at all.

If you've happened to check out the new ID, then you'll know what I'm talking about when I say that I'm making that same face. The gynormous fake smile.

Anyway, I'ma try to sleep.

Love
Mangos.

They're wicked tasty.
YES M'AM!!
Or Sir.
Whatever floats your boat.

... Hahaha, holy craaaap. I'm so tired that ... well.. I'm at the point where just EVERYTHING is funny. And I can't go to sleep. I just can't.
But I'm so so so tired, and I get to work eight MORE hours tomorrow!

I just burped

Umm.. yeah. I just tried going to sleep at 9:30. Then I was all, "PFFT. Screw this! I want me some mango, foo!!"
That's how it went down... What ever 'it' is.

Sorry for the hyper brain spasm. Here's a brief update, with each one, in my opinion, deserving of an 'oh snap!':

- You people aren't asking to be feature-ed!! [link] I'ma have to start picking out people to feature myself! (Yeah Lena, I'm pointing at you!!! *point*)

- My portfolio is in the works. THE portfolio. The deadline for finishing is Feb 7. Pretty much the only thing I'm worring about is needing to draw a bike.

- I need to find a bike to draw.

- As of the 13 (one week away) I will have finished my driver's ed course, and aprox. one month after that, will have my license.

- IN BASICALLY A MONTH I WILL HAVE MY LICENSE. (i felt this needed to be said twice.)

The rest isn't really all deserving of 'ohsnaps'.

My mango's gone....

Christmas... was .... not how I wanted it to be. Sigh. It earned the title of Carly's Worst Christmas Ever.
In seven-freaking-teen years of my life I have never had a Christmas where I was disappointed. No, I'm not talking about getting crappy presents.. I didn't really want much this year. Yeahhh... it was just... emotionally... not... Christmas. I felt so... empty? Ehh.
New years felt like the same.
It was really the day after Christmas (AKA, Boxing Day, which, I used to think, was when you went around collecting cardboard boxes. Gah, do I WISH.) that I was super excited.
Ahem, Target. Nine in the morning. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess just sitting on the game shelf. $40. Waaaaaiting for me. Jusssttt waaaaiiitttinnnggg...
So I bought it. What else are you supposed to do with Christmas money?
Anyway, I love Zelda with a passion. This game is... is... oh... I don't even have the words. I'd been playing it every chance I could (which is really only 5 hours a day when your brother demands his fair share of gameplay) up until last week when my Dad finally decided to reclaim the TV.
SSSSSIGH.

Ahh well. This is an amazing game.

Well... now that 10 minutes have passed... I'll safely say that I can try to sleep again... hopefully. ... Gosh I'm a pansy.

The first ten people to comment will be featured in this journal. I'll go through their galleries and pick out three pieces that I like best from each person. This is fun stuff chicos.
If you get featured though, then YOU'VE gotta do the same journal. And... if you've done it before, then.. you don't have to do it again.

My computer is still crazy.

I am now the owner of a cell phone. D:

Christmas is almost here and I still don't have any shopping done/pictures drawn. D:

Dolly Parton is particularly frightening.

I have NO time to spend drawing

Long story short: sorry, I probably won't get back to anything for a couple'a days depending on when my compy gets back from those techs at Apple. And who knows how long "as soon as tomorrow" could be.

Speaking of techs, I got a job as a pharmacy tech. Woo! This means I can finally have some sort of income. This also means that I can take said income and spend it on ... things that I've been needing *coughmarkerscough*.
Or my car. ...

Yeah, probably my car.

I've basically been going 300% this whole week, and I cannot WAIT for tomorrow; I've got absolutely nothingggg planned. Let me say 'yay':
Yay.
Saturday, though, that's SATs. Ehhh.. Oh well. If I bomb 'em, I bomb 'em and I can take them again later. And if I bomb them then I can take it personally and classify myself as one of the 'below average' and underestimate myself for the rest of my life based on my test scores.
... yaaaay.

My head hurts...

I hope life is well for all of you. I'll be back soon. ... AKA, when my compy is.

No, I'm not that popular, I just don't reply to people. Once I started getting in the August group I decided to call it quits. There were comments from MAY. D:
I'ma try to NOT let comments build up for six months again. I've been really good lately about keeping up with the deviants I watch :] Yaaaay for that.

I'm in a really grood mood.
Yes.
I typed 'grood' AGAIN.
Before, I couldn't find the origin for you 'cause I couldn't remember it's title. It was done by a friend of my friend's brother who I don't know. [link]

Nevermind, the whole thing is random.

I have to spend today doing *incert menacing music here* SAT prep tests.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyynot.
Like my score would even matter in an art school. Speaking of which, I really suck at filling out applications. And at calling schools requesting information.
Yup.

ugh. To tell you the truth, I wouldn't be surprised if I waited til the 13th hour (yes, I know the expression is the 11th hour, but I wait until it's too late to do things. So for me it's the 13th) and ended up not being accepted anywhere 'cause I freaking procrastinate too much D:
Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Sigh.
SAT's ahoy... They're next Saturday.... hahahhaa, I'm gonna bomb, but I don't really care, so long as I get above 1200 which is the halfway mark now that they freaking changed up the test
Ahhwell.

i'm SO full. and... tired. Yaaaaaaaay for thanksgiving!
i ate wontons all day and then had regular dinner. i don't know if i've ever, EVER finished the whole of my thanksgiving plate. and. ... i didn't again tonight. surpriiiise surprise.
usually there are a whole bunch of people here tonight... if not at LEAST for dessert. but this time, it was just my family and my sister and her husband. that's alllll folks. ... UGH. she told me that she went on DA to find my art... 'cause... i don't really show much of it to my family. ... ehh.... maybe because they know me and i kinda really consider my art a part of myself that i don't normally show to anyone? but i don't mind for DA/internet people because they can make assumptions about who i am as a person and not really know me... ??? wooo psycho-issues that i don't understaaand! probably because they're not understandable...
aaaanyway, my sister told me that she found me on DA. then at the dinner table she kept saying things that were in reference to my art on DA. ... she makes fun of me about my art though. yaaaay. thanks, ken.

... ANYWAY. ... how's life?
mine's grood. veeeeery grood.
yes i said grood.
iiii've just been hired for a job that i know SQUAT about: a pharmacy technician. D: i sit at a computer and take orders for patients and fill them with generic hospital drugs. ... and the real ones. D: oh snap.
orientation is nexxxxt monday at.. crap... i can't remember what time... . oh well, i'll find what i wrote it on and check thennn.
ugh.
i am SO tired.
but these rants are best done when my mind is explodable. ... like now. so i sneeze and out comes everything i've needed to say between journal entries.
yes.
umm... i don' have my driver's license. i've had my permit for like... gosh. a freaking year and a half. and AND i have a car.... wtf, carly. yeah. ummm, so all that's keeeping me from getting my license is driver's ed. which i'm also starting next tuesday.
yaaaaaay.
first steps to adulthood.

that's pretty much all for the updates... i've got art from that class that i'd like to submit... but... most of it's crap, and the picctures i took of 'em are crap, so i'll submit 'em in a jummmmble.
yup.
... heeeey! i'm typing face down!... like... i'm not looking at the screen. j

I took a break between writing that first paragraph and the rest of this, and my total dev watch messages went up to 1,480. ... Maybe I just shouldn't watch so many people? Do any of you guys have as much trouble keeping up with devs as I do?... ehhh.

So my sickness is gone ^^ It's only the aftermath of a cold that's left behind... you know... coughing for about two weeks, mucus for a week... That sorta good stuff.

I'm awake... and... online... and no one else is. .. This is weird. Where are all my friends? It's only two!! And over on the west coast it's eleven. ... ... well... I guess not all my friends are homeschoolers o_o;;
SPEAKING of school, it sucks. ^^
I looked for colleges the other day... I haven't applied anywhere yet... oh geeze. The two schools that I'm applying to (or at least making portfolios for) are Mass Art in Boston, and the other is School of the Art Institute of Chicago... in Chicago.
I'm looking for a place where I could major in Illustration but easily transfer over into the film department if I felt so inclined to do storyboards or animation. .. which I may. I'm also looking for something on more of the east-coast side of the country.
Any school suggestions?

I feel strangely at ease about all of this college business... which is weird, 'cause a week ago, I DEFINITELY wasn't. ... yeah. I was a total wreck with all of this crap looming over my head. But now I'm not worried about college apps, or the SATs (which I STILL haven't taken) (and also after going through a couple practice tests, seem pretty freaking easy for me. ... minus the essays. I'm crap at essays.). The only thing I'm immediately worried about is a job... which I might have, but I've gotta fight for this position.
woop.

Random: over Halloween, I cut about a total of 30 pounds of onions. Every now and then, I'll still catch a whiff of 'em under my finger nails. D:
That's downright disgusting. AND. I'm like, a clean nail freak. So I don't even know how I'm still smelling onion after all this time. Grossssssssss.

Pretty much all of the leaves on the trees are gone.... Part of me likes the bareness of winter. Then I get sick of the dead look and want spring to come. BUT! At first, there IS something appealing and almost... clean about winter. It's strange, I'm actually excited about it this year. Dunno why. Maybe it's because of Thanksgiving and Christmas and the people I'll get to see then... And after all that, there's New Year's Day which is usually great.
yup.

I'd like to apologize for being such a drama queen. .. with all of that "I'm unhappy" crap. Gosh. I've gotta get over all of these little pity parties I keep having... But as of right now, I'm happy. .. at least content.
I'd also like to apologize for any other pity parties that might take place in the future. o_o;;

I'm still drawing. DEFINITELY so. I'm encouraged to draw even more because I've got my portfolio to think about. ... Yeah. :]
Requests are STILL COMING!! I PROMISE! I just feel like they've gotta be special, and if I'm not inspired, they'll turn out UNspecial. ehhh...

Sorry this one was long

I didn't really dress up for that wonderful holiday. ... Too bad.

Well... gee... this is sure an update.
Sorry... I'm still in a funk :/
BUT!! Art is good. ^^ Art is amaaaaaazing, and I'm still drawing away over here :] Wooooo!
I also haven't forgotten about any requests

I have so many things to do... I need to write, I need to draw, I need to sleep. Yeah, it's only 7:13 and I'm already so exhausted and sleep-deprived.

I'm not happy.
I hate how a month and a half ago I could confidently say that I was, but now I can't. I guess meltdowns will do that to a person. ... I think I get mini anxiety attacks ... I have to breathe like 'heee-hooo-heee-hooo" to get through them.... sigh...
Not happy... :/

Umm... Neil Gaiman is a really great author. I'm reading Neverwhere. I love it. I'ma go to the library as soon as I can and grab everything I can find by him... except I'm not reading that much.

I love October. A LOT. It's my favorite month out of the whole year. I love the season change, I love Halloween, I love the people I see during this month because of Halloween, I love October.
Tomorrow is Children's Day in my town, and I get to wake up at 7, throw together a costume, and then go downtown to the commons where I'll sit around for four hours, blow up balloons, sit around some more, maybe get to eat something, get REALLY cold, blow up some more balloons, get really cold, and then wait around for four hours because I can't take down anything.
ugh.
I hate Children's Day. It's probably the only thing about October that I don't like.
I just... don't feel like being around all those people tomorrow. Being all smiley when I know it's freaking fake, when maybe THEY know I'm freaking fake too...

... I'm just not happy... : (
Sigh...

I'm still freezing....
I'm going to go read probably the rest of Neverwhere.
Yay.

It's 6 something.. . . I've been up all night.. again.. . .. crying and drawing. Yaaaaay ohhhh these fun, fun times.

GOSH the sky is gorgeous right now... . It's all pink and orange and purple.. I love sunrises and sunsets... I love the sky... I love clouds. Hah.

So I pretty much think I'm bipolar... Yup. That would definitely explain why I'm never able to purely convey a single emotion that I'm feeling in any of my drawings, heh.

GEEEEEEEEZE. I'm tired.

Anyway, a couplea things:

First, I know a few of you amazing watchers are also amazing storytellers... or... at least you can write too. I've had a mental explosion recently which has spawned basically a world, characters, and subplots. ... But no main plotline. :/
How do you go about organizing your thoughts and/or creating interesting plots? Just... . . wondering... 'Cause I'm not a particularly organized person. ;_; And for this, I KNOW I need to find a way to get all situated.
So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Seconddddly, I KNOW I still have about eight promised pictures... Eight is just a guess, though. It might not actually be that number. ... It feels like it though. . Yaaay! more sarcasm!
-COUGH-

Threeeeee!:
Down comforters are heaven-sent. Or solidified clouds. You pick. Either way, they're delicious. ... Like cream cheese. Or whipped cream. Or vanilla yogurt. But not cool whip.
Never cool whip.


and

FOUURR!:
I just feel like giving a big 'ol hug to everyone... 'Cause you're all so freaking amazing. x a LOT. Thanks for being amazing!! <33




It's now 6 something later, and I'm going to sleep.
Yay.... NO sarcasm that time.
OR WAS THERE???


.. No. There wasn't.
Good night... morning.... . . ?


P.S.

FIIIIVE!: I'm continually working on clearing out my messages. :/ I think that there are comments that I haven't replied to from.... GASP. MAY.

UGH.
I rool. ... Not.
SO.... . . . I'm not mean! I'm just lazy... sigh... Which is almost just as bad.
Sorry.

P.P.S.
I just noticed that I'm almost up to 2000 page views. Wooo!
haha
Sadly, there will be no prize for a screen cap. :/ I'm lame, and it takes me forever to finish requests because I'm never happy with the initial idea, and then that idea gets thrown aside until wayyyyyyyyyYYYYYY later 'til I can work on it again. :/

yup.
So I guess that's 'six' then.

I cooked tonight too. ... Like... with actual food.... And nothing (apart from my hand) burned!!
Ravioli and zucchini and yummysteakraviolicreamygoodness sauce. :]
My sister came tonight too... oh man. She and her hubby are so sickeningly sweet. ... It's kind of disturbing. But she made up for the sicksweet by bringing some of her apple crisp.
That stuff is possibly more amazing than Coraline was. I mean, this crisp is bakeoff winning!!... Multiplebakeoff winning!!! At one contest, the guy took a bite and dropped an f-bomb.
It's amazing apple crisp.

I need to learn how to respond to comments. Like, pronto.
Pronto, NOW.

Sigh.

But it really IS bad. :[ I've got stuff from July that I haven't responded to... maybe even June. o - o
And the devwatch notifications are adding up again... :/ Gah. Stupid me.

... But it was the green one, so no worries.


School has started.... Holy crap.

I used to blog a lot... A LOT, a lot. Then I started actually talking to my friends and getting everything out there, so there was no need to blog anymore. Right? Ehh, I don't know... but I'm pretty tired in general. I had a mega-sized breakdown that I still haven't gotten over. I don't know if I will get over it anytime soon... But it's made me tired, and I have no reason to be an insomniac anymore.

That's sad.

It's pretty much the dawn of a new era for me: Seniordom.

Or just, you know, my final year of childhood. .... Yeah.


... Nine months.
NINE!
That's wicked close.... Oh man... I am so so so excited.


Art class was last night... The teacher had us sit across from people and draw their faces. The girl I got had mega-eyeliner on.... That was good though, 'cause I always make people's eyes darker than they really are. Heh. HEH.
I have to say that I felt wicked stupid... as far as I could tell, no one on my side of the room was my same level... aaaghoiwajrsklgmf, I sound so freaking arrogant. I'm really not... seriously. ... Aaagh. nevermind. I totally am for even thinking that I'm not arrogant.
Anyway, class is promising. .... Hopefully.... anyway... . . yeah.... . . . . .

Psyyyyche.
Geeze. I dunno what I'd do if I wrote my journal entries like that. I mean, sure, they'd be shorter... but... Heh.. No. I wouldn't like it.
It's like those people who when you talk to online. This is what the conversation looks like:

You: hello
Lameoperson: heyyy
You: what's up?
Lameoperson: nm

... And that's it.... 'nm'. ... Nobody's particularly articulate anymore. I mean, geeze. At least give me the courtesy of spelling the whole two words. Or being like, "yeah, nothing much 'cause i've been stuck at home all day." Or "nothing much 'cause i set fire to the bathroom curtain and got grounded." Or "nothing much. i love you."
Probably not the last one, but yeah... I'm just ranting.

My sister got married (I caught the bouquet). She's outta the house and it's only slightly weird.

The Trooper (my car) respectively died and was repaired.

I went "camping" (PFFFT.) and swam with my clothes on.

I still don't have a job.

I do however have money for driver's ed and such. Yay.

I almost moved out of the house.



On to even MORE (is it sarcasm? Or IS IT?? You will never know. MUAHHAA) exciting news that I'll actually talk about:I enrolled myself at the VERYLASTSECOND in an art class at the community college. Actually, it was more like I had two minutes left to fax in my application to get the last seat in the class before the office closed for the weekend.

... It's 'Basic Art 110' though. Basic... art....

I guess it's kinda good... maybe... 'Cause I actually never started at the very beginning with the basic principles. I just sorta jumped into human anatomy and winged it from there on out. So this is a good thing.
I start on Wednesday.

I start the rest of my classes on Tuesday though. ... Or maybe they're Wednesday too..... I don't remember... hah, I'll have to find out. I've got Chemistry, Culinary Arts, Health, and Introduction to Sociology. This is going to be the easiest year ever. Yay for Senior class!
This easiness means more time this year to draw (and AND!! I'll be forced to do that since I'm in a class X] ), and I can hold down a job. ... It doesn't mean a whole lot I guess.... But that stuff's still important to me.

1. I rarely plan out the pictures I draw... and my favorites always end up being the ones that were sporadic.
2. Rarely am I happy with the finished results of a picture.
3. Usually my art just comes from a concept and that concept gets stuck in my head until I let it out.
4. If I DO plan out a picture... I tend to not like it as much. :/
5. Everything inspires me in some way.
6. The first time I drew one of my imaginary friends was two years ago. ... Heh, he doesn't visit me anymore.
7. uhh... I'm running out of things to say... OH! I drew some pretty sweet lookin' clouds the other day. ... Just clouds.
8. When I'm angry or emotionally outta wack, my pictures are all ugly. ... Like, they don't look good at all. ... Good as in attractive, good as in quality, good as in 'good'.
9. The music I'm listening to when I draw effects the mood of the picture as I draw it.
10. If I have too much input, and no output of art, I hit a block. A reeeally bad block.


... THE END! : D

I'm glad THAT'S over. Now I just get to tag you all.

andddd I'm tagging, ~sylverwind, ~BeautyFromPain8, ~RevisionOfLines, ~m-dot, ~Abinition, aannnd~Silvertide.


... HEH.
Ohhh the tagging.


... I'm hungry.
Lately I've really had a craving for a grilled cheese sandwich. And by 'lately' I mean 'today'.


Okay... These unanswered messages need to be dealt with. I mean, REALLY. It shouldn't be that difficult for me to just sit down and go through them... right?
It also shouldn't be that difficult for me to draw the pictures I've promised people I would draw.
Yeah.
That sucks. ...

It's like everyone's preliminary sketch is there, but I just don't want to go further on to the details.
.. Sometimes I hate me.
But that's okay.

'Caaaause... . .. I don't know.


Know what?
I really like Cursive... The band. I mean, the handwriting is nice too, but my cursive sucks. ANYWAY, I'm not so sure about how I feel about Happy Hollow... Cursive's new album. :/ Mainly because of the lyrics.
I mean... I listen to a whole bunch of crap that would be characterized as un-christian... But none of it's ever directly badmouthing Christianity. So I have mixed feelings about Happy Hollow 'cause of the straightoutbadmouthinglyrics, but it's also still Cursive, and their sound is so AMAZING.
...

The end for now.
I'm drawing, but kinda hoarding my art. ... Yeah... ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9643997/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9643997/ Tue, 08 Aug 2006 09:12:17 PDT ... PREEETTY sure.

Uhhh... yeeaaahhh... I've been wicked busy lately. Hence the lack of artwork. And I'm not feeling especially inspired :/ This isn't an art block though, 'cause every time I DO sit down and draw, I'm pleased with the results. So... yeah. I dunno when I'll have art to show you all again. Sorry D:


I am SO freaking in love that I don't know what to do with myself. :] ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9459816/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9459816/ Sat, 22 Jul 2006 16:08:19 PDT So I'm trying REEEALLY HARD to draw. But I don't... WANT to! D: Whatheff's up with THAT??!!? Here's an example:

"La la la la la, my name's Carly and I don't know what I'll do today; there are just so many possibilities! Perhaps even TOO many. Hmmm... let's see... I could (a) watch a movie, (b) draw, (c) read one of the 12 books I need to read before August 19th passes by, (d) eat if it's not a DEATH DAY, (e) try to hang out with my friends since I feel like I've been ignoring them D: , (f) watch television, (g) play videogames, or (h) be a lazy arse and do NOTHING all day.

... LET'S GO WITH H: BEALAZYARSEANDONOTHINGALLDAY!!"

Whatheff's WRONG with me!??! Freaking block block BLOCK.
I don't even know if it IS a block though. ... Ehhhhhhhh.

I feel like my coloring skills are shot to hell lately. .... You know where it happened (the shot to hell part)? Back when I started coloring [link] . I mean... what happened???

In the one art class that I ever took my teacher told us that there's a point every artist gets to when they've been working on a piece that they just can't STAND it anymore. Apparently, it's about 3/4 of the way through? Well... I have about 5 that are at that point.

... Maybe to break this block I need to go back and finish coloring [link] ? Aaaaaghhhhh. ... sigh.

Why am I deficient?


... So... I could be spending time trying to fix this block OR replying to the 559 messages I have (there were 700 at a point, but all of a sudden, ALL THE FREAKING JOURNALS GOT ERASED ??? o-O And I've been gradually cleaning out the deviations... but since I watch too many people, I get about 75 new deviation notices a day XD oooh snap. Maybe I shouldn't like art so much ;D ) instead of lying around.
I need to just be productive.

I'm writing though!
And trying a project... ... It could work, it could... not... work. It'll do one or the other though. I'll submit the results if it DOES work.

So I basically botched an ink drawing...
Or... 'painting' I guess. ... I put the inkwashes down BEFORE the ink lines 'cause I wasn't sure which do do first, and since I'm so inexperienced with nibs a big FAT SPLAT landed over the girl's eye.

*Insert melodramatic Darth Vader "NOOOOOOO" here*

Aaaaaaghhhh... chhh. Storyofmylife.



Sigh... alright... Now that I've ranted for a bit I think I've got enough courage to go pick up my box of colored pencils and finish [link] (I love how I've plugged it three times now).


SPEAKING of plugging... go look at and 's galleries. They are both so amazing and I get all smily and happy (WAIT. There's an emote for this!! ) when I remember that they acknowledge or- GASP- even like my art when they both have SO MUCH more talent than I do!
Go love them. Especially ~m-dot, 'cause I don't think he gets enough love for how ZOMG he is. I mean, REALLY.
Go look at these guys! 'Cause I love them!!

And remember to spread love, not this disgusting cold that keeps going around and hitting all of my friends.
Why?
I don't know, it's a disgusting cold! It's what it does.
... Hits my friends...


Heh... HEEEhhhheh... You know, if you took that literally and out of context... it'd be like the cold is hitting my friends. XD

Oooooh snap(ple)!!!

I'm all afreakingbout the literal humor these days... If you can grasp the concept... it's a beautiful thing. You just take it literally, pull it out of context, use your imagination, and visualize it.

Example: I couldn't contain myself.
Example: You're in a pickle now.
Example: It's nice to have an ear [to talk to].
Example: You crack me up.

... HEHEHEHEEE.
I've had very few people enjoy literal humor with me... sigh. Ohhh well. It's fun though.



OKAY.
Now I'm REEEEAAALLLLY going to go and try to color since I've written a freaking novel here... Hopefully I'll get Ginny's sketch off of my front page soon! ... Very hopefully. >.<


(P.S.... ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9380793/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9380793/ Fri, 14 Jul 2006 23:14:42 PDT I kinda love how even though I've still been stalking other peoples' pages, I haven't been updating my own... Actually I kinda hate it. So I'm sorry. : /
I don't really have an excuse...
Summer has, so far, been amazing. And SUMMER. I've read books, seen movies, cried, seen friends I haven't seen since March or seven years ago, and drawn a little.

Here's how it went:
The morning that I finished everything, Dad comes in and is like, "You're done! I'm so proud of you, Carly! Time to put you to work on something else." So he has me make all of these silhouettes for him for our church's new logo... I personally thought they were pretty much crap, but he loved 'em.
STILL.
They took me FOR FREAKING EVER to do, because silhouettes, no matter how easy you think they are, aren't. ... Easy. At all really. I ended up feeling guilty drawing anything else when I could be doing the silhouettes... yup. That's why trades/requests aren't all the way done... And even though I'm just kinda like... 'SPIT EM OUT CARLY! IT DOESN'T MATTER ALL THAT MUCH,' I feel like it DOES matter 'cause I'm sort of a perfectionist now... I don't remember how or when it happened, but it did.

I guess that's both a good and bad thing...

So after I finished the logo and didn't feel guilty drawing for myself/other people, I hit a freaking art block. I know.
I KNOW.

*spasm*

But that's okay... 'Cause I'm mostly out of it. Yup... Mostly...

I really don't like coloring lately... At least not traditionally... I really wanna digitally color a lot more than I have before... Good thing I have lineart that needs filling in... Not.

Gah, I'm sorry I'm perpetually lame and STILL not drawing as much as I would like to be. It's coming, it's coming.

I know I'd also feel guilty for submitting anything when I've got 555 (no lie: [link]) unanswered messages. Mostly because I watch too many people, thus receiving too many new deviation notices, and I take FORFREAKINGEVER to reply to comments... I'm sorry I'm lazy! D:

Oh snap...
Art is coming!

P.S. I'm freaking addicted to mechanical pencils.

P.P.S. Ink now too. ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9206881/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9206881/ Wed, 28 Jun 2006 04:21:31 PDT
I'M DONNNNNE!!! : D


NOW.
It's just after 7am... and I've been up all night to finish, WHICH I AMMM!!
... Finished.



... *MEGAEXPLOSIONOFHAPPINESS*

SUMMER IS NOW HERE.
AND I FEEL LIKE TYPING THE REST OF THIS IN ALL CAPS!!!!! ....


But I won't. 'Cause I kinda can't stand it when people do that XD
BUT!
*spasm*
YAY!!

I'm so excited!! I haven't had a real summer break for two. years.

I am going to go to sleep after I'm done typing this up. Wake up at one-ish. Grab me some overalls and clean out the cupboard... which... is pretty disturbing looking... Then I'll do the same to the fridge. Then I'll dust. OH. Dishes too.
That'll get me some moooohlah 'cause... I'm terribly poor and need it for tomorrow which will be an amazing ska show in Connecticut :]
SO.
After all of that cleaning... I really have NO OBLIGATIONS WHATSOEVER.


... Except for all of my promised pictures. BUT! I want to do those!! Oh mannnn!! Carly's excited.
Yeah. I don't think you even know the half of how excited I am... I've freakin made the subject line contain accurate information about the contents of this entry!!
HA!



If you commented me on this [link] journal entry, I'll be noting you soon. ^^ And if you DIDN'T comment on [link] then you should. 'Cause... requests are fun.

I feel weird saying that... like... some actor who wins an Oscar and then they say thank you to all those 'little people'. ... Not that any of you are little people, or that I'm winning anything.

I feel the love
SO!
THANKS FOR LOVIN'! XD

=Megajon caught the shot XD [link] Hahahaaaa! Aweeesome screen-shot... So he wins a picture.

uhh... not for the screenshot though.




...

SPEAKING of pictures, I've decided to line up all of the projects that I need to get done here... because they're mounting, and I don't want to forget anything. SO.

's lineart is... being colored. XD
trade (currently being colored)
trade (plotting!!)
???
's self-portrait challenge

AND. that KHII picture I never drew. -_-"

HUZZA!!
Gah... now back to the essays... ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9109428/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9109428/ Sun, 18 Jun 2006 20:38:25 PDT
I have about a week and a half left of school.
THEN
ooooh the joys of summer!!

The first summer-vacation activity will be taking place at a concert in Connecticut, AND THEN!! let the drawing and unfinished art projects beginnnn... oh yeah... and a job.. AGH.

*falls over*

Getting a job is gonna suck asthmaaa... hehe... The summer's still definitely going to be amazing though.





... Speaking of things that are going to be amazing (but this probably won't apply to that same thing), I've got a website now...! (and a basic knowledge of HTML!) [link]
It's not like there's anything there that's not here... actually... there's a link to my Elfwood gallery... HA. ohhh the memories there...

So it's pretty lame... and will probably stay that way until I get tired of thinking about how boring it is and... do... something about it...
like figure out how thumbnails work.
OR.
UGH. get a better display thing worked out.
OR. Start taking the comic ideas I've got packed away seriously.


... I should just do that...
Jump into a story that's unfinished... a concept... I'll most likely never end up finishing it, but at least I'd get it down... and be practicing.


GAH.

My family says some funny stuff... Especially when my sister's fiance is over. OH MAN. hahahaaaaa! She's all giggly and Mom keeps saying stuff about how 'when you're married blah blah blah blah blahhh"... she did that BEFORE they were engaged though. HAHAAA. ohh the awkwardness...



So I'm pretty disappointed that I didn't get to make that KHII picture. ... The deadline was yesterday. ... I blame school and being grounded from drawing.

CHYEAH.
I'm grounded from drawing...
GAAHHHH, that's like... CREATING an artists' block on PURPOSE. URGH. not fair. DEFINITELY not fair.

... week and a half, Carly... week and a half...

I'll still make the picture though. Everything that I've said I'll do, I will get done. Phew... just... *sigh* it'll take longer than I'd like it to. *wimper*





... and... SPEAKING of drawing pictures... whoever captures my 1000th pageview, I'll at least give you a cookie ^-^ giggggle.
Naww, I'll draw you a picture... within reason.

Anyway... this was just a quick update... sooooh... ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9048442/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/9048442/ Mon, 12 Jun 2006 15:37:43 PDT

Time for me to say a few things:

The first of which, is WHOA!! I haven't signed on to MSN messenger in about two months, and I decide to go on today for the heck of it. Like, a frikin THOUSAND _{(ie, twelve)} *spasm* people've added me to their lists!! ....!!! Hahahaaaaaholycrapohla. And I only knew who one of you was...

_{(my GOSH. I want a @hellokitty.com account! ;D)}
Oh the irony.

SO. If you've added me to your MSN list, then... say hi. haha, 'cause I've got no idea who any of you are But thanks for adding! XD


Nuuumber dos!!
I think my block is back... X[
It's probably 'cause I haven't been drawing though... I dunno... Last night... gah, I was so negative and disgusting. Everything that I drew was ... crap.
Not.
Good.

Especially since that KHII contest deadline is coming up... hahhaaaaaaa, and I don't have any ifreakindea what to do.... I know how they behaved in FF7, but... not in Kingdom Hearts. O_O;

But don't worry ~BeautyFromPain8 I'm still coloring slooooowly away ;D
Gosh... I actually have a ton of pictures to do...

Which leads me to why I can't do them annnnnd number

Three:

Unless I get in gear, I'm screwed with school. ... yeah.


FOUR!!:

After only a slightly sketchy Italian man, a gay Bostonian, seven snooty assistants, about A THOUSAND _{(seriously this time)} gasps and uneasy ohh...s, one "Cute shoes!" (from the gay Bostonian), five separate applying-of's and trips-to-the-dryer, four shampoos (three of which were done by a MOST VIOLENT blonde haired beyotchy assistant), three blowdrys (two of which were done by the same assistant who didn't keep moving the dryer so my scalp freaking BURNED!!!!!), one cut, three hours, and ___insert-the-insane-amount-of-money-that-Carly's-too-embarrassed-to-mention-here__ dollars later, I was blonde.



GASP.



Yeah. So I did it. ... My sister's not even like.... THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS FOR ME CARLY!! 'cause it was TOTALLY for her. I just wanted to kindof start over... I had like, two inches of my natural color showing through the roots and I just wanted to cut it all off to that point. BUT NO. I did it for her.

Ohmigaaaaaaaaawshhh!! and that was SO. MUCH. MONEY. I almost never want to dye my hair ever again because of it.

But I totally will.

I'll just do the start-over thing when I don't have any very-serious-family-impression-to-keep-up events happening. ... ie, this fall. ?

And it made me only ever want to be the ONLY one who touches my hair again. Just so I can blame it all on me. ... Like... geeze, Mom helped me all those times with dying my hair.... I'd just love to be totally independent of that.




Anyway, that's pretty much it. Sorry this was so long!! Again, if you added me onto any of your buddylists (AIM, MSN) then TALK. 'Cause I won't until you do. ... and then I'll talk a lot. XD



EDIT:
AAAAAAGH!! SO sorry if you get notified TWICE!! *dies* I needed to change the title 'cause I didn't realize that it was too long and ended up being cut off. ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8978451/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8978451/ Mon, 05 Jun 2006 13:15:30 PDT Mood: glowy!!
Listening to: The Rocket Summer <3!!


Everything is going really well right now. :] Buuuuuuut, even though I'm out of the artists' block, art is going slowly. I just don't have time for it. baaaargh...

School's going AMAZINGLY well, but it's why I'm not getting any art done. I should be completely finished for the summer in a couple weeks... hopefully. And then I'll be draaawing again!! Possibly breaking out the paints too? I've really got a hankering to do stuff with ink... Hah, it's probably on account of the two ink bottles staring me down each day at my desk. And I really want to experiment. x3 Muahaa!

SO. This is basically to inform all of y'all thaaat DA will be very slow. I'm sorry. Just as soon as I finish my finals, I'll submit everything I've been up to in the little bits of time that I can spend drawing... Which is all mostly sketches and concepts for now, but they're all actually GOING somewhere for a change! Yay!!

Ohhhmygawshhh!!!! I'm so happy.



Heh... I keep changing my icon. XD I probably WON'T stop changing it until I find something I'm really happy with too... so...... changingness.... is... mostlikely going to be happening a lot. ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8946595/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8946595/ Fri, 02 Jun 2006 02:34:29 PDT
I'm so emotionally screwed up right now, it's not even funny. ... I'm like... freaking bipolar now.

... Not really.
But I've gone from an all-time high, to an all-time low in the past two days... I'm still stuck in the low.

But what I'm NOT stuck in anymore is an artist's block!! And that makes me SUPER happy!!!

We make ME laugh so freaking much that I write down anything I can remember that I find particularly funny... I realized that I should start comic-fying them.

I'm in a relatively happy mood. Which is a good thing... seeing as I've been uncharacteristically glum these past few days. Why'm I happy? 'Cause I've finished my Math, Creative Writing, and Web Design courses and I'm going to finish Spanish by Monday, and I've received some unexpected help that will put US History in the baggg XD. So now all I have to worry about in school is Lit.

*dies*

That's still okay though.. I've got a month... aeo8risijktfgnmmaworisfjgnm

I'll make it...


I'm also feeling like this artist's block will end today. :] I want to draw.

I've got a cough now instead of a cold... which I'm GLAD to be rid of. Coughs are much easier to endure. So thanks for all of your feel-better's :] 'cause I do.

Skacore's my music of choice lately... Particularly A Billion Ernies-- their trumpet player's a hottttta bodahhy XD. He's also an amazing friend. So go listen to them if you like screaming and ska and themes of christianity.

I've got no freaking idea WHY I did.. especially since... I know NOTHING about what the contest is about!!... I mean, I know what it's about, but I don't know about what it's about!!... I'm making no sense... but that's okay, 'cause it's late... ish.

is having a KHII contest.

"... Carly... ARE YOU CRAZY?? You've never played the games!! Even watched it!! YOU DON'T OWN A PS2!!"


... this is true.
BUT!!
Art is art!! And if they're already existing characters, I KNOW that I can find reference sheets of them out there... Which I already have.

"So what's the contest?"

Something fun. ^..^

Giggle... seriously. Check it out here [link] I'm not going in it to win or anything... I'm going in it because it's fun to draw fanart. :]

I got Aerith and Cloud for my pairing. So that should be fun... and relatively easy-ish to come up with a situation... since.. like, HELLO. Perfectness.

This makes me so happy...

I'm also in the midst of an art trade with . I'm not entirely sure what I'll draw her though... I'm trying to stealthily figure out what she likes by analyzing her trade pics... so still plotting with that one...

And then I'm ALSO also coloring a picture of s because she's awesome and Jaxhom's hot. O.O

Hahahhaaaa



oooh man.

I don't know if I'll ever survive past June 30th. ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8824396/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8824396/ Sat, 20 May 2006 09:49:17 PDT
With a passion.

I keep having dreams about mermaids... Ariel in particular. Weeeird? Chhyeah. Last night's dream wasn't about mermaids though... Airplanes and apartments and guitar-playing hippies and the Simpson's and my sister's fiance I think... and a trunk. I remember not liking the dream and feeling uncomfortable throughout the whole thing...

Actually, all of my dreams have disturbed me lately... I dream a lot, and in story sequence, and in full color, ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME. It's usually cool, except for when they reveal something to me that I'd rather not know... I'm big on dream interpretation.

So all of my dreams for the past two weeks have felt negative, and then when I wake up and analyze them, the meanings unsettle me...

Dad just came in. He told me that they were "going to limit the time I spend up in my room this summer."

What the fark?

'Cause he's afraid I'm "turning into a bed potato."

... Whaaa???

"Not so much of a 'bed potato' really... But, we're worried about the amount of time that you don't spend with people."

Oh...



...?


Being a loner's not bad!

... Is it?

All the things I like doing happen to be "loner" activities.

Reading- loner
Drawing- loner (since nobody else I know likes to draw with me)
Computerness- loner
Video games- loner (... I don't like to compete.)

Most of my friends live far away... YEAH. I have friends! I also know how to 'make' them... Geeze... I really don't understand what the problem is with me being able to entertain myself without others.

I don't always want to talk to people. And when I'm fasting, I don't want to be downstairs where there's food; it's painful. I'm pretty emotionally independent of my family...

Sigh...

I sound like a perfectly witchy bee-otch.

... -_-

Art is coming... I hope... soon... ? I only get a few hours a day to work on anything other than school right now, and I keep running back and forth between projects... A lot of stuff is turning out to be self portraits, and I'm all, "Gee, Carly... You really are narcissistic."

Thank you littlevoiceinmyhead. Thanks. ¬_¬"

AAAAghhh. What. the. fruck. ever. ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8802917/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8802917/ Wed, 17 May 2006 22:17:22 PDT
And insane.

And she talks about herself in third-person.... Hence the insanity.

But seriously, I'm an insomniac on days when I've eaten.... Like now, it's just turning 1... I'll be up for a whilllle still... Again. Sometimes I hate it, but I mostly love it. It enables me to stay up and draw... but mostly speed-draw since I feel like I've gotta get as much done as I can before my energy leaves. This will either be a blessed gift for college, or a freakin curse.

I just ate a whole can of Pringles. O.O

There's something wrong with me....

Anyway, now I'm terribly thirsty from all that salt... and... I think I'll find something to drink after I'm done ranting all the way

I'm pretty much screwed with school.... But I don't wanna type about it... I'm just... sigh, screwed. :/

So... my sister's engaged... and... she's been engaged for three weeks... and has three months to plan her wedding. O.O

MONTHS!!

August 19th!!

SHE'S the insane one.

Annnyway, last night was the 'let's go hunt for bridesmaid dresses' night. -_- The only good thing about THAT was that I was able to see how much weight I lost... which equaled a confidence and self-esteem booster :] Yay. We didn't find dresses though, so we had to go out AGAIN this morning.

She kept looking at the gold ones.. GOLD. UUURGH. None of us looked good in the same dresses... and it was down to this ugly 'lookatmebecausei'mabronzedgoldengreekgoddess!!' dress that only looked good on the tanned girl... who was, needless to say, not me. I'm the palest of the four. -_-

FORTUNATELY, we found a blue dress at the last second that EVERYONE liked... I think I did most though... I was NOT happy with a gold or yellow color.

... I'ma change my hair again soon... there'll definitely be pictures since I've turned into something of a camerawhore.

... That's the end.

I knoooow! We've been driving for... *counts* 6 hours now- which isn't that bad, 'cause I love being in the car. There're just about 2 hours left worth of driving.... so that's 150 miles or so (parents drive fast ).

Man there are some ugly water towers out here...

Why'm I in Buffalo?

Relatives.
They're really awesome though. All we ever do is eat amazing food and watch movies and play videogames... I don't really play the vg's though... 'cause I suck D:
Hah... I'll be home on Tuesday.

... ANYWAY. Time to rant:

We were just at a reststop, and the toilet paper dispenser was called The Never-Out 3000. XD That led me to wonder about all the other things with X000 finishing off the name... Does that mean that there were X999 versions before version X000 came out? Was there ever a version 0765 of The Never-Out? How bout versions 1983, 2049, and 0002? That would kinda suck for all of those other previous versions to be considered obsolete.

It could also be that just adding 'thousand' as a suffix is the equivalent of pressing the 'auto-cool' button in the technological world. Which... sort of... makes sense in its own weird... way...?

Carthousand!
Refrideratorthousand!
Stereothousand!
Stovethousand!
LAUNDRYMACHINETHOUSAND.

gah, that's painful for definitely.

You know what else is painful?
Having the family mozyonover to a Mickey-Dee's drivethrough with you in the car on a day that you've been fasting.

I definitely can't not eat this week though... It'll be pretty impossible to do.

UGH. all the minivans and PT Cruisers we're passing are making me want to gag. It's so... mid-state-New-York.
I love my Trooper <3 Even if I can't drive it yet. >.<
That'll change though! and.. HOPEFULLY, it'll do so by... mid June. OHhhhh, that would beafreakingmazing! XD

Yeah... so I won't be back until Tuesday.. which also meeeans no art until then D: Puhh, yeah.

Since I'm sick of drawing people from reasonable, boring angles, I'm starting to experiment with perspective, which is WAY fun :] I'm also trying some stuff with coloring.. but it's tedious :/ so I'll have to figure that out.

Yay for rants. I'll have to put this up when we get there, BUT!


...


actually, no. That's it XD.


WAIT!
It's actually not!:
I get to eat once we get there XD

Okay, haha, sorry. ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8715180/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8715180/ Mon, 08 May 2006 20:54:07 PDT I'ma rip out my eyeballs.

Seriously... freaking seriously.
I hate mascara.
It's the bane of my existence.
... 'Sept for critical analysisisis essays.

(Funny funny thing just happened!! My auto-spellcheck didn't pick up 'analysisisis'... It also didn't pick up 'spellcheck'...


Quigatomay?

... Hmm... I'd better investigate why it's not spellchecking since I'm pretty freaking sure that 'quigatomay' isn't a word at all. Neither is 'fantabularastic', and it's not picking that up either...

*later* FIXED IT!

Not sure if that accomplishes much.... I'm sorry I lied. It WASN'T 'funny funny'. I'm just on crack right now and... tired...COUGH.)

Anyway... I don't wear makeup... why?
Well... it's kindofa hassle, and not vital to my vitalness, so.. I don't really see the point. However, sometimes, I'll get the urge to put on some mascara for kicks.
Why?
For kicks.
Then I'll realize that I've forgotten that I can't rub my eyes atanygivenmoment while wearing mascara, and get the crapohla in my eyeballs.
Joy.
I also forget to wash it out before I go to sleep... and then the morning comes...
Equal joy... actually... NO. GREATER joy. There's so much more joy in looking like I'm plastered than there is joy in grinding makeup directly into my eye... which I DO do in the morning when I wake up after having worn mascara. That's like, joy to the power of three.
Then since I've basically been grinding it further into my eyes all night, it's all off my eyelashes and either, a) in my eyeballs, b) on the pillowcase, c) on my hands, d) on my face, e) all of the above.
I get to be tormented like this ALL DAY if I wear mascara. BARGH.

but I always forget how much I hate it...

I went through my portfolio today... found a TON of older drawings and such... but I still love them. So I scanned them in ( WITH MY SCANNER!! ^--^ ). There are really a lot...

Then there are the pictures I took of the INCREDIBLE sunset there was... like... oh man. SUPER SPECTACULAR. I literally jumped out of my seat and ran to get the camera. Then I took pictures of my stripy socks and converse 'cause I came across 's page today... and she's got the same ones XD Things like that are funny..
Forgive me if you hate megauploadingness... since that's what I'll be doing tonight until I get bored with uploading stuff or I run out. Which would be cool... to... run out of things to update... 'Cause I've got some pictures I wanna colorrrr.

Anyway... I started this out to be an apology journal for uploading all of these pictures at once... and... it turned into a rant XD But the megauploading: SORRY. It probably won't happen again... at least for a long time.

*happiness!!*

*lot's more happiness!!*

YAY!

Unfortunately, I can't reeeally use it yet 'cause I've got to go clean to make moolah that pays for hairdye and munchies and such... BUT I WILL BE BACK!!

With a scanner!! ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8674642/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8674642/ Thu, 04 May 2006 17:38:46 PDT
So I took 113 pictures.

Yes.

113.

Maybe I'll submit some later... just not ALL of them O.O I think I'd have a conniption if i saw all of them up there at once, and everything was just photos photos photos instead of tablet tablet tablet.

I've been sketching like a madwoman. I think I already may have said that... anyway, that's the reason why I haven't been updating... 'cause they're only sketches. I also never finish them and drift off to work a little further on another sketch... or start a new one... or... ... yeah. You get the picture.

I feel like I'm being pulled in so many directions at once since I've got so many projects I want to work on... Which really only makes them take longer to complete.

... Baaargh.

No one will probably care, but my favorite band is officially From First to Last. It takes me a while to actually admit that a band/movie/book/place/color/thing/food/candy/ice cream flavor/drawing/anything is my favorite... so.. this is... good?

Maybe someday I'll actually have the subject box contain *GASP!* the subject!

... Probably not though. Unless it was an important journal... or something was terribly wrong with my mental state.

My scanner still hasn't arrived yet -_- grrr... I WANT IT!! ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8580620/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8580620/ Tue, 25 Apr 2006 11:43:24 PDT
I think this is my first birthday that I'm not TOTALLY excited about. Like right now, I should be spazzing out; I've got two and a half days left! But... I'm not spazzing. It's pretty unmeish.

Actually, I am sort of excited about something... I'm getting my own scanner. ^^ So with that badboy, I'll be able to not ONLY draw on the computer... which... I don't really like to sketch on. I haven't been using my tablet since I've found out 'cause I want to scan in a frillion sketchbook pages. Unfortunately, I haven't been doodling in my sketchbooks, so there will be no pages to scan unless I draw with traditional mediums... like I'm doing now. And all that makes me happy.

I've figured out that I do like drawing boys after all. ... I didn't before, 'cause I'd tried at the very beginning... and... SLAUGHTERED each boy I'd tried to draw. I've just steered clear of 'em all together up until recently. I think I owe this new "I've-gotta-draw-guys" impulse I have to and her drawings. (She's really great ^^ Go on, give her icon a click.)

It's kinda nice to know that my gallery won't be overrun by only the female sex by (hopefully) next week since I'm drawing like a madwoman. ]]> ~glitterally http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8550144/ http://glitterally.deviantart.com/journal/8550144/ Sat, 22 Apr 2006 11:13:08 PDT . Chhh, for the shore.

I'm homeschooled... Did I mention that? Well, I am, but I'm not a social outcast or anything, and I'm far from being a genius.

Anyway, here I am, writing some sort of crap for creative writing when I really want to be drawing. And I can't draw until I'm done with school for the day... but I keep becoming distracted by ideas that I'd like to run away with along with my sketchbook and a couple of pencils.

I can't wait until 6pm comes and I'll just sketch. That's what I really haven't been doing lately- sketching, I mean. I keep trying to whip up complete pieces and they take me so long to do, so that doesn't really work for wanting to vent out my creativity. There are also things that I say I'll do, but don't reeeeeally want to get them done at the moment. (Like RP comic book pages .)

I think that's what I'll do tonight... just spend the entire time sketching.

Oh man, I'm so excited now that I know what I'm going to do later. Yay for pointless journal entries! ]]> ~glitterally
