I know, long time no talk.

I've been super busy. I WAS going to post my fall '09 line but it kinda fell through cause coloring in 16 pieces, on adobe 2.0, with a mouse, and a really bad scanner, then cleaning every single line art, wasn't working out for me.

I think I might post a conglomerate of line arts from fall '09 though.

WHO WANTS FANCY SHOES DONE BY ME?

Okay, not to sound greedy, but I need some cash. I have a trip with my youth group in the summer and I wanna buy some fabric to make me some pretty clothes for summer.

So. Gimme a note if you want some fancy kicks. Like these:[link]

I'm no =Bobsmade but I can do a pretty nifty job. And I can do pretty much any theme you want quickly.

So, send me some shoes with 20 bucks in there plus return shipping and I'll make 'em up for ya.

Pleaseeee?

Back to design talk.

My fall '09 line was based on being bold while comfy. And that happens to be something Christians should be. We shouldn't be afraid to be bold, and my new thing with lines is that it has to have some connection back to who I am as a person. Not just clothes. :] And it was inspired by my trips to the mail box on a Saturday morning, so it's got the boxer short and the pj pants thing goin on with the peacoat and hoodie junk.

My spring '10 line is more about what I want to wear and joy. Its got alot of pleats but would be made with more happy colors and light fabric to give it a joyous feel. Christians should have joy in their heart always. :3

So that's my update. I hope to get things to you guys soon!

God Bless
Rakka

So, last week I went to Messiah College for CIY MOVE. It was fantastic.

Now this whole journal isn't all "religious". I'm a follower of Jesus Christ as most of you know. But it's a relationship all the time not just a sunday morning excursion.

Starting on a good note, I cried all 5 days. Yup. I'm proud of it too because each time I cried was a new release of something that was holding me back with a better relationship with God. I wasn't the only one and it was great to feel and see people supporting each other in their transformations.

*The first night was on Jesus, and it was amazing. I have this great shot I need to post of the cross they put up. It's kind of haunting too. He sacrificed so much for us and He didn't even have to. But anyways, on the first night the speaker spoke of how after people were seperated from God in the beggining but how He still wants to be with us but can't because you cannot mix pure with unpure. God intended us to be intimate with each other and Him, all in harmony. But Jesus helped to get us closer to God without sacrifices and tabernacles.

*On Day two the theme was the Holy Spirit, something I missed and had been ignoring for awhile. The main focus all week was on Acts, which I have now found to be very good. The Holy Spirit does alot such as moves, teaches, reminds, and gives power. We are powerful with God. The Holy Spirit gives us bravery and is evidence that God is with us. Through the Holy spirit 3,000 people in Acts 2:1-4 were saved, in many languages. Amazing, hm? The speaker, Rachel, was powerful. She had such zeal. Oh and there was this video with this girl who was waiting for a phone call to find out which door to go in, but she didn't have patience and got herself lost and didn't trust in Him. Then when she got the chance she picked it up and hung back. I almost screamed at her. Anyways, God created this world so we can go explore it and do things, not sit on the couch and be bored. Sometimes the Holy Spirit leads in odd ways but we have to follow it because its got the big picture. We're the ambassadors of God and if we trust Him we can change the world.

*On wenesday the theme was community. Oh my gosh, it turned the whole place around. You could feel unity the rest of the week. Think of how much powerful any group is with many people. One person can make a great change, but with many great leaps are made. The church should be one heart and one mind no matter the differences. Our greatest thing in common is God, isn't that all that should matter? And as a community, we should give freely. Nothing is really ours, we did not create this world, it's Gods. So ask freely, "Do you need anything?" or "Do you want me to do anything for you?". And also we learned about kingdom workers. The paralyzed who are down and hurting. And then there are the ones ready to work. Those who try to help, who are faithful and ready to go. I'm ready to work, what are you? We also learned that selfishness and things that no one else knows can hurt and kill things through Acts 5. When we hide and when we don't want the best for our community something dies. And thats not exaggeration. Sin earns death, plain and simple and it may not be instant physical death but there is also spiritual death. But we have recieved grace so that we may have another try to get back on our feet and away from sin to bless those around us.

*On thursday We learned about boldness. It's given to us by the Holy Spirit, and doesn't mean being obnoxious. It means doing what you know and feel is right. If you pray for boldness and oppurtunities they will be given, just look. Then the speaker did a doodle of fear vs. faith. That's a great obstacle for many to face today but back then it was worse because for some, if they spoke out they would be killed. In the US we have little or no reason to fear that. He then told the story of Stephen, in Acts 7. Oh my gosh. Go read it. Stephen was bold enough to speak up to the religious leaders when he was on trial for speaking up about Jesus. For this he was stoned to death, but before he died he said he saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God for him. Stephen had a standing ovation in heaven for his boldness. WHO DOESNT WANT THAT? And bold doesnt necesarilly mean something that grand either, you could just say "hi, how are ya?" to a stranger and that could possibly affect them for life!

*The last day :[ That was themed Move. We looked into moving where God moves. We asked ourselves how we have grown and what could we do for ministry. I am challenging myself to a. bring my family closer with God and b. work through the fashion industry and be a light for God. We also learned that Jesus is going to ruin our lives. But not in a bad way. He might just totally change our plans and throw us in a place we might not want to be. But we must humble ourselves for that... ]]> ~insaneashrak1 http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/18631179/ http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/18631179/ Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:43:26 PDT
I know, I know. It's been awhile. I disappeared from the surface of the geosphere; sorry.

I should be posting some new stuff soon. I took pictures this weekend and I did a pair of shoes in April for a dude. They're awesome.

My birthday party is this weekend and my birthday is tuesday. And my dA 3 year anniversary is soon too. I'm super excited for that.

I have bible study and youth group as usual. I had my youth pastor and his wife come over to watch the PR 4 finale. I was right, Christian won :] Our church youth service is this weekend too. And we're starting Phillippians in bible study. We just finished James. It's a great book of the bible, go read it. Please? :]

Also, major update. I gots me a boyfriend. He's a sweetheart. His name's Brad. He's a believer, skinny and kinda dorky and pretty much any personality that I love he's got too. We chill out alot; mainly play his ps3 and cause trouble. My rents love the kid too. I love him sooo much. I hope that you guys can find a good guy (or girl) like him.

So God's been good to me in many aspects.

I've been freakin out about school tho. Not even two weeks left and then finals. Ahhhhh. God's takin care of it pretty well. Honestly, I have no idea how I do it except for with some assistance from the Big Man Upstairs.

So I'm pretty content and balanced out for now. Things'll be better during the summer. I'm going to the New Hampshire race, getting a new puppy, going to CIY, working at VBS, and more to come!


Lemme know what you guys are up to! If ya need a prayer lemme know too. :]


God Bless!!!!!!

Hows the weather where you are?

WE HAVE TWO FEET OF SNOW.

If I had school, I'd be exstatic. But I'm supposed to have youth group tonight.

The Weatherdude said we'd only get two to three inches. I think he said the wrong unit of measure. How about feet there smarty?

Lake effect is wonderful. NOT.

I only got about 6 hours of sleep, went to be at 2 and got up at 8. I looked out my window and thought it was frost on my window. THAT WAS SNOW.

I shoveled with mum fer about an hour-hour and a half while dad was snow blowing.

Altho, I do have pictures of our birdies eating. Not so much of the snow. I won't bring you down with that much white. You might go blind.



Also, I have break this week. There's testing but not for me. But I have plenty of work to do over vaca. Ohhhh wellll.

I really hope the weather dies down fast tonight. I really wanna go.

Well, have fun in the sunshine, rain, or if youre lucky like me, snow.

GOD BLESS!

Well, I would like to thank every one of you for the support and everything this year. It's been great. Let's make 2008 even better!

This year had been such a crazy ride.

Honestly, I don't remember much of the end of my last school year except the All Nighter which was the begining of my new journey with God. That turned me onto this newer brighter road. And after that came CIY and that, my friends, is something that I will never forget. I am anticipating this same events and even more.

I even made new friends this year. I hope to keep them for quite some time.

My only resolution for next year is to be even closer to God than this past year. Everything else will settle where it needs to.

I have been so incredibly blessed this year and I hope you have as well.

If you need a prayer or need to talk, note me. If you wanna share some praise shout it out. :]

God Bless
Rakka



Here's a new chat for you guys to check out. Visit sometime. I've already categorized some peeps into special sections :]

Well, it's almost Christmas and I'm just updating what I've been up to and whats going on in the next 11 days, lol.

Well, life has been great as usual. I'm making quite a few new friends at Young Life, some from my school, some not. It's been fun.

Also, school work has taken a turn for the annoying. But its 2nd semester so why not? I mean, there's midterms coming up so WE GOTTA PACK EVERYTHING IN. I have to read A Raisin in the Sun and pretend I'm the Red Baron for Global and do the project over Christmas break. Cause I procrastinate. No, Im not smart enough to do it when I got it. I'm sad cause calligraphy is almost done and then I have health. Icky.

My art is going well, I'm working a lil bit on Fall/Winter '08, Scottish vs. Victorian, and the 1st two pieces look grand. I brought alot of my papers home that I made in callig. and they're super pretty. I have to make a book in that class and someone needs to light a fire under my booty cause I'm putting everything off.

Tomorrow there's a xmas party at my youth pastors house and on New Years there's bowling. Sick. Nasty.

I got a lovely cowboy hat from Amanda and Manders, its a long story, and a Wolfmother DVD from Manders and a Panic Button from Amanda. Christmas is already good. It should be for them too :]


I've gotten preogressively lazier on here when it comes to journals, but whatever. If you were really concerned you'd IM me, lolz xD

Prayers? Praises?

Mine are above, just find the issues and upcoming events in my life and the good things so far and they fall under one of those categories. But what about you guys?


Muchos love! Feliz Navidad!

God Bless

NEW CHAT FOR FASHIONISTAS AND DESIGNERS (fashionistas was taken. argh. so i improvised.)
[link]

]]> ~insaneashrak1 http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/15520576/ http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/15520576/ Thu, 15 Nov 2007 13:04:22 PST
Project Runway Premiere:

This is gonna be one of the greatest seasons ever. I can already tell.

Well, my favorite designer is Christian. He's hysterical. We're going to be best friends, I promise.

I could tell automatically just from looking at his work I knew he had worked with McQueen. For 21 he's got a buttload of talent and so much potential.

The ladies are pretty good this season too. Although I think the men made a bit of an early leap. I think I'll be watching Victorya and Jillian this season.

The elimination peeved me big time. A.K.A. I was screaming at the tv because that ugly blue thing called a dress with one seam got through elimination. YUCKY. Even though the other one didnt have personality, I saw potential. Our freshman could've made that blue dress. Ew ew ew.



The Silver Ring Thing:

Freakin' amazing.

I got myself a covenant with God and a ring to prove it. It's so exciting.

My friend that we invited is now going to start coming with us to youth group. Can you hear the angels rejoicing? Btw, she loved the whole thing. It's fantastic.



So here's some prayers for this month/week/day:

My neighbor is healing from major dehydration and such, she's 60+ and super cool, I love her so much. She needs loving and healing right now.

All I need right now is some comprehension for a couple classes (particularly math and science) and some time or some one to help me work with sewing stuff. I need some patience.

Amanda's grandfather is suffering from cancer. The family could use some peace of mind and that her grandfather could be healed and feel the love and support of his family. :]

Praises!

My friend loved The Silver Ring thing and commited too! Yay!

=laurabeth got a house! Woo!

I've been saying hi to random people, being nicer, and stuff. It feels goood!


God Bless!

Our first snow was and is today. It's still snowing and it's so peaceful. And nice.

I love how snow physically is another form of rain, but also when it falls it's like someone put the world on mute. You can hear something, but it's not heavy. Just a slient hush of the snow.

I love how it makes everything into pastels and everything subdued and calm.

The only thing I'm not super fond of is that darned cold.

In other news around here:

I've been doing alot of chillin' at my church, I love it. We're going up to this thing called "The Silver Ring Thing" soon. I'm super excited. We've invited a couple of people from our school that haven't been to youth group stuff and such. I hope that they have fun and maybe hear some stuff that could help them with thier lives, we all have it hard sometimes, and maybe help affect more people positively.

I haven't been too busy school wise but when I get my calligraphy projects home I will scan them for you. I love calligrapy.

I miss my normal art courses though....:[

My honors classes are going fine, but they have a weary or even little faith in our ability to be smart. I haven't gotten my report card yet.

My neighbor has returned home from the hospital once again, I haven't visited yet because I haven't called to see if she's well enough yet. I hope so :]

My designing is going alright, I need to learn to do clothing without patterns fast. I am also doing studies with clothing and people proportioning to help to update my skills. I am doing a pair of converse for Manders, they're coming slowly. I'll take pictures when I finish.

My writing is almost to a halt, it's because I'm doing school and it always slows down.

Also, I'm chillaxin with Manders on Saturday, and Lexi Lee ( ~ayanaanime ) to go play racquetball on Sunday.

School is super fun this year. This quarter I'm doing weight lifting, badmiton, and volleyball in gym. lolz. Let's see how that ends up.

So that's just about it.

So here's some prayers for this month/week/day:

=laurabeth is moving and looking for a house. That's hard stuff, she's needs some patience and strength.

My neighbor is healing from major dehydration and such, she's 60+ and super cool, I love her so much. She needs loving and healing right now.

All I need right now is some comprehension for a couple classes (particularly math and science) and some time or some one to help me work with sewing stuff. I also have been wishing to give a bit more love to people no matter what. :]

And for my friends to have a good time and to be able to go to "The Silver Ring Thing"

Amanda's grandfather is suffering from cancer. The family could use some peace of mind and that her grandfather could be healed and feel the love and support of his family. :]

If you need anything to be prayed for, just leave a comment and I'll add it.

A little extra prayer/piece of information about Switchfoot and Relient K. Relient K's drummer is leaving in December, so maybe a prayer that they can find one soon and that Dave can go on and do whatever God calls him to. And the fires in CA were where Switchfoot are from, so it's a bit stressful for them. That must be hard and I hope that every family out in CA can be blessed and see it.

There's just so many praises. God's always keeping me on my toes and staying good to me. I worked at a missionary dinner, school has been great, and now it's snowing. Mom has also rescheduled her classes so that she can improve and get things done without so much stress. That rocks!

Edit: SILVER RING THING WAS AMAAAZIING. ILL TELL YOU AFTER I SLEEP.

God Bless!

Argh darn she tagged me.

The Rules:

The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read your journal...

Rewind a little bit now.

VBS-
So much fun. Loved it, I've appointed myself photographer fer every year now. It's that much fun. Me, Garrett, Caleb, Laura, and James got on a huge water fight on Thursday of that week. I was soaked from head to toe. It was great. Then there was a pool party on Friday. Fun stuff. :]

So, I've returned [the 14th actually…but it took a long time to write this!], with a sore neck, no voice and a bright spirit. No wonder, it was great.

Warning
This is long if you don’t read it all at once, please, take the time and read it in install ments. Its worth it.

I'm gonna go by days then tell you about stuff that happened somewhere inbetween that I don't remember where it goes.

Day 1

It was a heck of a long ride and the singing in the back of the cramped van was nauseating. But what can ya do? Not much, even my Wolfmother CD turned up all the way couldn't help me there.

But we got there and they passed out keys and cards and our books for the week that would be filled with great experience.

Mike, my youth pastor almost got ticketed out of state cuz he parked infront of a sidewalk and didn’t listen to Josh and Garret about not parking there.

So, we drag all of our crap up the stairs because we can't find the elevator and get into our rooms and unpack. Then we go to dinner and such and go to our first "Celebration" of the night. Right then and there we are introduced to the strong spirit of love towards God from the Aaron Pelsue Band, whom which was playing the whole week and I have many more stories of :]

Then we went into our small groups and talked about what happened then, it was an introductory night but the vibe was unbelievable.

Also, There was this group of guys calling out random names and manders is like “theyre calling ur name say hi!” so I did and they ran off going “YES WE GOT ONE!”

Also, I got landed on by Garret because we were up in the bleachers and he leaned on the chair and it, along with him, fell on me and I have a bruise about 4 inched long now. :]

Day 2

Identity.

We learn who we really are and why we're here. The morning speaker for the whole week, a senior pastor at a church down in Orlando, FL was crazy good. You could just tell God spoke through him. He told us about the details and why God put them there, he'd read the bible over 25 times and yet he's still finding more in it.

We learned that God looks at the and part of that is hardwork for the kingdom and having humility. And he talked about David, and a high spiritual hunger and holiness.

Then we went on our "encounter" time. Which asked questions that helped us go closer to God as well and find out who we are on the inside so that we can help others.

We went to our "D-groups" and talked about what we'd just learned in encounter. Then we went to lunch and had probably the best food I'd ever had at a school.

Then we went to go see Thor Ramsey, if any of you know of his work you'll know he is one funny guy. He's a great Christian comedian. He was talking about how they don't ever feed models at one point “You say cheese I say no…cheese? NOOOOOOOO!” lolz.

And if u eat healthy you don’t love God, lolz. “EAT A TWINKIE FER JESUS!”

So we wandered about during our free time and such and then went to celebration where you could feel God in the room. It was amazing. :] And the dude who talked in the evening was really funny, not to mention got right down to what we all needed so we could identify who I am.

God’s empathic artist.

Then we discussed and told who we were with just our youth group. That sucked until about Thursday.

Oh, and I think this was the day Joe(youth teacher) tried to do a wheelie in a wheel chair all the way up the ramp but only could get it so Mike(youth pastor) called over this kid named Jason and we all watched him try to get it for about an hour, but he did. What lives we have during our free time, haha.


Day 3

Injury.

That was the lesson for the day. And it made it the most powerful. Because we were all injured in one way or another. And I’ll share mine, family issues. But I got to let them all go on Wendsday.

There was the Alternative, which was a talent show, but once we got past our church’s band it started to go down hill. Ohhhh welll. Manders was famous cuz shes a good bass player ;]

We saw Dave([link]), from Kids in the Way who was playing rhythm guitar for his bro and doing backround singing. x] And so we “stalked” him, aka tried 2 get his picture without him noticing But I did, and then he came in and manders got a pic with him. Lolz oh... ]]> ~insaneashrak1 http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/13536316/ http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/13536316/ Fri, 29 Jun 2007 08:34:41 PDT

No, not Fall Out Boy. My dog :]

Well, we put him down today. It's really almost a blessing because it was horrible to look/smell him. He looked like and smelled like death. Sad.

But, like my youth leader said, look forward and remember the good times.

Well, I'll let ya in on them, from when I was young to about recently:

Pulling his dog tail and running around following him when I was very young

Getting knocked over when he would slobber all over my face

Watching him try to scare away the rabbid raccoon during the day

Sitting on my old hardwood floors in my old home infront of a fan with a grape popsicle and letting him lick off the purple liquid left (prolly one of my favourites)

Falling asleep with him on the couch when I'm sick

Tossing him an ice cube when he was sick or when it was hot

Listening to him howl when I'd practice my band music

Sitting next to him in the kitchen on the floor when I'm making dinner

Watching him trot around the yard or on a dog walk

Playing tug of war with his ragged ropes

Seeing him sit at the foot of the dinner table waiting for scraps

And overall, just his company and great dog spirit (he was quite the hunter)

So anyways, dad buried him out in a sunspot (his favourite place to lay) with a big head stone, a metal cross, and his harness for when we walked him and he buried him with his purple blanket mom made for him. :[:

He was the best brother and dog I've ever had and will ever have. I'll miss him. And these tears are jus the sorrow of all the great times that may have happend that are now gone.

At least he went without too much pain and I got to say goodbye.

Thurman's Memory will live on

God Bless!

Well, my dog is dying. And we found out, today. Nontheless my favorite one, the one I grew up with. Thurman. [[link]

He's got intestinal cancer and its pretty bad. I have about a week to a month left with him.

So, every day that I have left of him, I'm taking 1 picture of him every day until he goes, then I'm gonna put them into a piece with it day by day. And maybe my favorite pic of me and him when I was five.

But why's it at a bad time?

Because we have about 13 more days of school left and I'm bombarded with projects. It sucks. :[

The only things that'll hold me together are my parents, my friends, youth group/(well duh)God, and some really good duct tape.

I guess its better than him going over night and us not knowing. At least I get to say good bye, not like with my grandfather.

Why do the cool people go first?

Well...keep me in your prayers. God Bless
Rakka

Yay fer all night teen Christian conventions!

I love the all-nighter so much. It's fun fun ^^ although it rains everytime it seems.

Golf was fun and (ayanaanime.deviantart.com) killed herself by tripping and falling on concrete -claps- Good job Lexi.
And the speaker, like always was amazing. And a bunch of peeps came to know God, it was awesome. We moshed. Yes. A christian mosh pit. Us Godly people know how to pardy hardy, awo0t!

So we went to the sports centre and chilled while Lexi and a bunch of teh other peeps played soccer and stuff then we went back to the church again :] I played DDR ^^ And played against this 1 guy then never got my energy the rest of the night, he was a nice kid tho. And I won't be playing DDR for a couple days XD

Then we bowled. And never watch 'The Last Mimzy' the bunny freakin possed I swear. And the bunny is so loud u can't fall asleep, and its making noise through the whole movie. I wanted to chuck a rock at the screen (I was very tired). But other than that, the whole night was gr8. And there was an awesome bass player 4 worship and this 1 crazy kid with a '40s pinstripe hat. XD haha. So me and my friends had tons 'o fun along with singing happy birthday 2 me besht friend ^^ :] ole!

So that's my life for the past day or two. Other than that the school year is winding down and finals are coming up soon. And I'm losing artistic ability again. I have to go into a dormant writing mode again. Sorry guys. :[

Oh, and my scetchbook died.

God Bless!

So, snow day today. Four hours of pure bleh. Can you all say "No Power"? I draweded(haha) and coloured. And found out that man oh man I need to work on my line baaad.

Well, number two of my 'Train Basics' although Jesse likes it I have found it to suck with an incredible force. It's like a reverse hurricane.

So, if ANY designers are out there please help meee ;;-;;. Romanticist era references pleaaase?

I need to do a summer line, or think about doing one too. :[ Harumph.

All nighter is coming up fast too. Can't wait to hand out with like a thousand other christians and be up all hours of the night and pardy hardy :3

So, thats how its been with me...hopefully I'll have classes tomorrow. AND! OMG ANNNND! I got my new dA t-shirt. Tis bea-u-ti-fulllllll X_X! I love whoever designed that cherry red piece of cloth!

Dude. I need to learn how to sew. Any takers in the house who's willing to teach the distant minded and a well rounded procrastinator? :3 pweeeez? jk. I'll teach me self. (and they say women should know how to sew. psshhhh)

Sorry about all my designer whineys. I'm just lacking in the drawing area lately. Too bad I can't be an author and a designer, too many loves and a difficult brain.

God Bless!

Thank you so much for the Daily Deviation

Although, now I have an anti-message complex. If I see a message in my box I freak out...now the stress me out D:

I thank you all for making me have this disorder though, it's super nice of the Gallery director and Catzilla to do this for me. :] I'm seriously not that big of a deal, Maddies amazing!...but I'm gracious! I promise!!

And yes, I squealed about 3 times, called a bunch of peeps..although none of them really get the point of it. P:

My day was actually really crappy for the first half, I didn't sleep at all last night. But now, thank you God for blessing me with such an honour. I've gotten so many honours in such a short time! I think I'm trying to hide and its not working XD

So once again I'd like to that all you peeps on dA and most importantly God, I wouldn't be so blessed without the gift he's given me :3

God Bless!
Rakkie

P.s. if you wanna know whats been going on lately other than this, just go to my last journal, nothing has happened otherwise in the two days XD

Well, I haven't opened my rather loud mouth lately, I decided I should give you some updates.

For some reason, I've gotten on a critiquing kick (probably because I'm a judge for ProjectPOW) and helping people with thier work, if you ever want to give me some go ahead! Do Please! (I got some really good stuff recently to help me with hands thank you! )

I've been working alot on my proportions and such and for practice of that I'm starting a line :] it's a bit early for the next spring season, but I'll start now anyways.

If you wanted to know, my Train Underpass piece IS a main dress in it and will probably be around one of the last ones in the line. I have to refine my line making skills ya know!

In art, I've been doing my least favourite thing, perspective and now I have to do a 'floating museum' or something . Also, I have an english project due on monday, I'm doing all pencil work for it. Ugh. I am SO compulsive with school projects.

Youth group is lovely as usual and life's been going pretty smooth, just a bit jam packed and a small dose of the lack of creativity in the writing area.

Does anyone know who did the Hysterical emote? Cause, it makes me laugh everytime

God Bless!

So, I didn't win. But from what it sounds I ranked high (Jesse you should've posted rankings. I need to hand you some of my mean.) but I knew there were a few misfits, but it was some of my best work.

Congrats to Maddie on her win ( ) and the great jobs from the other designers!

You won't see the end of me, this was a great learning experience and I may just post something next week. So don't worry.

I won't be a contestant for quite some time though, I'll be a big bad judge. :3

In other parts of my life, I'm going to see my best friend in a play today and after this weekend no more rehearsals for her! ¡Olé!

I got into the higher band, which is great. That means I don't have to deal with the endless amount of idiots in regular band.

Other school stuff is going as planned, and I would love for the snow to melt any day now. Skiiiiirtttts I wanna wear skiiirrrts!

God Bless!

6,000 Pageviews! You can stop loving me anytime, I may be a bit sad but I'll keep on designing!

Thank you so much for stickin' around with me for over a whole year!

An thanks Lexi for GIVING me the big ol' 6,000. :]

Thank You all ^_^ And I'll try to get better and better!

-fixes paper- -in news caster voice- In other news tonight... lol.

I got to play with a Wacom tablet (all rights reservations and health risks are atoned to the company Wacom and may not be used in such and such a way. My goodnees I am a silly goose tonight!) for the second day in a row and will most likely do more. (>^^)> oh yes. go me. Lexi plays with it too :3

Nothin' much else in the news other than copious amounts of melting snow and a lovely moon drenched sky, and the upcoming of dA fash-ON week. heehee.

Love ya!

P.s. I've been uber busy artistically, I have like 4 writings going on, 1 request, and my line X_x

P.S.s. I learned how to play the beggining of 'The Black Parade on piano today thanks to a friend of mine. I cannot play piano, cause I don't have that kinda brain storage :]


Edit: All my rought drafts for my line are in my scraps.
Also this is the correct spelling and pronunciation of giraffe: Gyraffe. JI-Raffe not Ger-raff

I hate snow, I hate the news, and I hate boards of education.

Why?

A.) They got rid of 2 of our vacation days.

B.) We didn't use any of our extra snow days.

C.) This was all done on the Day of love, but really it's the day of "I'm single I hate you." XD

D.) They're so paranoid, weathermen lie. Stupid Dirt Science.

E.) It's snow and we've had it for over thousands of years, we have the technology, put in the keys and drive over it! Stop wasting my planned vacation!

:3 I am peeved. Would anyone like to agree? Thank God I'm not in another area who pratically lost all of it.

I <3 you all and I'm not angry and any of you ^^

I haven't post one this in awhile, huh?

Well, in my weekly competition I'm in I've gotten in the top 4 for 2 weeks yay! I'm happy about that, but it's kept me very busy!

I have big midterms in about 2 weeks, so wish me luck! I'm freaking out about my math midterm, but I should be alright. ;;-;; I hope I will be!

Other than that it's been fairly normal around here. But it just snowed today, and that makes me happy ever since we haven't had much!

God Bless!

Merry Christmas guys!

I know I haven't been doing "Christmas-y" things on dA. I've been very busy with the Beau Monde competition and school.

I have midterms coming up in January. Wish me luck!!

Also, I've been questioning whether I wanna do fashion when I get older, it's just a phase if you ask me. I've seen too many good designs that I think are better than mine -shrugs- I'll get there.

Christmas is and was lovely as usual. But no snow Bleh. So when I woke up I didn't even feel as if it was Christmas. Oh well. I got CD's, DVD's and clothes :] and money ^^ (and of course a new DDR >_<

Well I hope you're having a great Christmas too!
God Bless

Well, we had a snow day. Duh. Other wise I wouldn't have posted all those beautiful pictures. Please do look at my photos in a full view if possible

Life, Good. Gah, ironic on how fast God is reponding its as if He's right on top of things like Martha Stweart during Christmas

Can people hear you if you're screaming on AIM? Me 'n' meh friend tend to talk in caps on purpose on AIM...silly us. Well, I'm yelling in my head.

Now I'm in a fashion competition called "Beau Monde" go check it out, root for me pweez!

School, is great. Especially when I don't have it I just need to push math up a bit more. An 82 is good but I have all 90's otherwise. -sighs- And my music teacher keeps pushing me to go to all-county. I can't I don't know all my scales or part of the music. I'd like to keep my personal status thank you very much.

Ohemgee! Yesterday in art was awonderful day! We're doing a shading piece and we hafta so a base and w/e and my art teacher usually criticizes me on my work. BUT! I reworked it before she could say a word to me and instead she told me it was a gr8 job and gave me a high five. I'm so proud! I usually have this attitude that really good is good enough instead of almost or really perfect. But I pushed myself a bit more and did great! Soooo when I get the chance to get it home I'll scan itt for ya!

Godbless!

EDIT
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THE 5,000!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I WILL POST A THANK YOU DRAWING WHEN I GET TIME! I PROMISE!

Quick update journal here for you silly dA obsessed people like I!!!

I think I have found myself a new drawing style, it has similar basics of my old style but is more realistic (now that i have conquered the dear nose that troubled me so!) sooooo that means you will see a bit more realism in my work.

the eyes are similar to my old ones but are just smaller and proportions are better, yay! I'm so excited ^_____^

God Bless!
Rakkie

Edit!
The first 10 people who post in this journal will be featured. I will go though your gallery and choose three of your deviations I like most and post them in my journal for everyone to see! It's pretty much to show you off. Who doesn't want that? The catch? You gotta put this in your journal as well if you posted. And I will leave this part up for a long time. And remember, if you don't post this in your journal, I'm not going to put your art up.

:3 i need sumthin from u guys! if any of you know of good free photoshop brushes (w/o virus pleez!) that have fashion patterns and such on them tell me, it'd be much appericiated!

I hope you're not having such a horendous time with dA like I am.

Rant Time!!

STOP CHANGING THE FREAKIN LAYOUT!!!! -mumbles angrily-

Okay, so this is how my life is on dA for the past 48 hours or more:

1.) Trying to get into a category or even opening a drop box takes longer than it would for me to cook a 5 course meal it seems.

2.) I finally get to the drop box and when I click on the topic I wish the page says there's nothing in the gallery!!

3.) Posting, today I tried posting something and it won't except my file!! And There ARE MORE DROP BOXES!!!!!!!!

4.) If you use the personalized settings say goodbye to day amount selections and actual rearrangement of popularity.

5.) I post, it does not show for a whole 5 hours or more anywhere on dA

6.) Everything else is getting annoying. I have a fast computer, so why the heck is everything SO SLOW?!!?!?

7.) And where do you find an emote list now? AM I SUPPOSED TO PULL IT OUT OF MY BUTT?! Gahhhh -fumes-


Other than problems here, I'm gr8. I'm working on projects and going to friends houses and parties. Nothing new.

Youth group, is of course the BEST!

God Bless!

Okay, I've been unusually happy this week even for me. It seems as if I can't stop smiling for absolutely no reason.

I'm just gracious for where I am. Even tho I'm a bit behind in a few pieces of work in school, I know I can do it so who cares?

It snowed!

It's so pretty out, I hope the snow doesnt melt too fast. You could actually see the clouds falling apart in the distance; amazing.

I wish I could drive andd have a better camera to take goregeous pictures like that XD Maybe for the dA x-mas card Ima make :3 yup. you should enter a card too!!! make people feel better....or else! ^_^

I just had a band concert , and I freaked out randomly and kinda sucked....definetly(sp?) not me. Oh well, I'm hoping to get into all county and such this year, to redeem myself. I need it. And yes, I play clarinet. Oh well ^_^ i like all music

10 weeks is almost over too O.o surprise surprise! 1/4 of school is almost done...awwwthat means....big tests in January X_X lol. I'm not afraid...yet XD A week b4 I'll freak out, just u watch. I'll just focus on what I'm doing now :]

This sux....I didn't get into Project Designer this season. I wish I really did, I have such a passion for challenges and fashion -sighs- maybe next season.

It happened for a reason. I dunno why but it did happen for a reason -shrugs- I guess more time for requests. Oh well, maybe I'll improve even more over the next few months and my tests'll be done so that I can focus more on PD next time. I'll only improve more in time.

Good Luck to the rest who made it!!

~~~~~~~~~

Request wise I only have 2 more to go then it's off to christmas presents for friends and such.

~~~~~~

Life is going nicely over here in my world. God's keeping my life pretty calm right now, which is nice ^_^. I have been getting homework but it's all super easy. Also very nice :3 Actually...I have some to do now...o well XD

I've been on a strange car kick lately. <3333 I think I like (and watch) 'Tokyo Drift' too much XDDDDD I want that pretty black and orange Rx7 Han drives, lol. gaah, im such a dork O_o (i can't even drive!!!)

My artistic ability is back after i prayed for it back, which was nice of God to do for me; it was driving me insane! u'll be alot more happy looking at the pictures im doing now than what i was just pushing out....it wasn't pretty DX

Well....that's about it...

Tis Rakkie again :3 I'm switching modes again it seems. My drawing creativity levels have gone down and my writing creativity is sky rocketing....I just hope I can get my creativity back enough for if I get into project designer

No this does not mean you can request thinking I'll take it as a creativity boost. It won't...at all. I have quite a few more to do. But I'm working on it. I do have another line art done. If you have ideas for inspiration I WILL take it.

My book is coming well now due to my switch in creative levels so that's good. I'm reworking and writing bits and pieces in my freetime to get it on paper.

Topic Change: Project Runway Finale

OMG -squeals- I'm so glad Jeffery won after all Laura put him through YOu'd never think he'd cry....then he does and cries alot on this episode. HE's line was great! Although, I still love Jay's from season one XD that was pure genious!

Jeffery's had flaws as well...Micheals kind of disappointed me, and Uli's was pretty good but a few of her neutral pieces weren't so good. Laura's was just terrible.

Somehow I gotta get to the level where I can interpret emotions to fabrics and clothing...I'm working on it -sigh-

GOD BLESS!

I'm sorry that I haven't been updating my journals much. I've just been busy and lazy

School is great. I love it. So Global and Art aren't the greatest classes, but whatever. The rest of my teachers and classes however are super cool

Very little drama has been happening according to the past years and I love it like that. It takes more stress off of me, although I can handle it

Requests are coming slowly but surely, I've got a few extra than I wanted but and they will be done soon. Sorry, demanded a request of me after she saw 's request all done. And also has a x-mas/birthday present I need to do, and I have one for my best friend too. I'm getting there, I have designs to do too ya noe! Btw, I'm on my second design book

Back to school. Art isn't what I expected, it's all realistic stuff. Global is prolly my least favorite class because it's first thing in the morning and I've never been fond of history. I just hope they get better with time. Although the people in my art class are super cool so thats good

Clubs:


God Bless!

Vroom vroom Ima car

Yus. last Saturday we went to the Nascar race in Richmond, omigoodness it twas fun!

Virginia was warm :3 I love it there, ponies, nice weather, teh race track, and where meh book takes place! So we get 2 the hotel and we go shopping 2 kill time. i go shoe crazy try on about a dozen shoes. and pic what is known to my friends as "the ugly shoes" but I think they're pretty even if they rub my left heel raw!!!

ANYWAYS, we go 2 the race and have lunch, we met up w/ my moms friend and his son and go 2 teh trailers w/ all the nascar goodies (yay fer kasey ) i got a keychain (i collect ) and a t-shirt. then we hung out till teh race. We found our seats, they were AWESOME!

The race, was gr8. (Happy) Harvick won by passing icky poo bush at the last few laps, and MY drive, kasey kahne got 3rd and is now in the chase

Awesome pictures, I reccomend not using flash cuz it makes everything dark and doesnt capture the lighting and smoke from the race :3

I had lots of fun! racing, if u think its just driving around in circles, ur wrong there's triovals too! AND theres alot more 2 it than u think, go 2 1 cuz i used 2 think that b4 i did.

God Bless
Rakkie

Edit If you're totally clueless on Nascar go here [link]
And I also reccomend looking at mh pixelly pics in full view too. They're awesome! It's just meh camera.... ]]> ~insaneashrak1 http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/9964905/ http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/9964905/ Mon, 04 Sep 2006 13:22:07 PDT Heya

I've been to North Carolina, Pennsylvania, The Adirondaks, Canada, and soon to Richmond, Virginia to see the race down there.

I'm so blessed to travel so much! And you guys get the result , the photography. When I'm older Ima get a super camera ( ) and drive around and take pictures of everything under the sun. I've always wanted to.

Even though I love photography I'm in love with design, but both are connected and such ( )

ANYWAYS The conservatory was AWESOME, completly inspirational! I wanted to stay there all day...even though I was really hungry XD

Can't wait to go racing next week and I will get requests done! I know I'm a super procrastinator!!

Okies, this is STUPID STUPID STUPID! How in the world did VINCENT of all people WIN!!?!?!??!?!?!?! I mean c'mon people! I could do better than that!!!! Uli or Micheal shouldda won!!!! GAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! X______X

Noone did good at the challenge, with the time restraints and the challenge, but honestly dont you think someone other than Vincent shouldda won?? PLEASE! It's all a set up...and Laura's outfit was terrible as well. ( her husband doesn't know she's preggies!)

Jeffery was out of line to yell at Angela's mother like that. He should've just let it go and worked on it. I thinks its funny how Angela and Jeffery argue, I can' help it

Vincent wouldn't even be there if they didn't kick off Allison unfairly, stupid producers T_T

Went to Kingston, Canada on Monday. It was fun There's something about going to Kingston that I love I'm gonna be posting a few pictures as well from there.

The architecture there is sooo inspirational, I love it! The mix between the 1800's and modern is beautiful. I've been on a fashion kick from around then with modern stuff too,

I'm procrastinating with my requests, they should be done by the end of August, if not by then....then start bugging me otherwise it may never be finished!

Rakkie

EDIT: BTW I'm sorry for all the devs. its just that I feel like posting random crap other than canada stuff 2day

EDT 2: the daily devs are getting ridiculous....such simple and easy pieces beign posted as DD's? HONESTLY! if i had the time i could do some of them myself, nothing against ne1 who's had a DD but I think u need 2 look closer 4 better works. i used 2 fav DD's but the handful, now its a rarity! ]]> ~insaneashrak1 http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/9713924/ http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/9713924/ Sun, 13 Aug 2006 13:54:31 PDT

So, I'm back and enjoying it. And I don't mind the change in dA either

Camping twas very fun with

She's not too fond of bugs and insects and such, and she hates capming, so I adjusted better than she prolly thought, she's still there till...wendsday? yea...wendsday.

We kayaked and watched these 2 idiots (now known as the kayak boys) flip thier ocean kayak (she'll prolly give more detail, I'm too lazy right now) We also hiked the mountain we were on, that was fun for me, she's never going hiking again We usually stayed up till...12 on average but it varied. It was fun and blah blah blah, tis a blurr at the moment (I knew I'd do this!!) so you'll just have to look at the pictures when I post them sorry guys!

When I got home with dad, my two dogs "attacked" me Then mom got finally home and I twas happy, THE END

Now I'm on a creative block because all I did up there was handwrite 2 chapters and a half of my second book that follows up after the first. And did character sheets (they'll replace the old ones) but I can't finish them all because I have issues drawing curly hair....ugh.

Sooooo I'm gonna do a line inspired by WHAT EVER I FEEL LIKE!AND YOU CAN'T SEE EM!

EDIT 2: I'm leaving for camping with so have fun without me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tis Rakkie again, summer has been long and slow it seems and this summer I seem to be lacking my creative flow. I'm not even close to finishing one sketch book, maybe it's just me.

I'm stuck in part two of my book. It's just not going well, I'm only on the first page! And I have soo many ideas about it too.

God's been treating me well though, nothing terrible has happend and I've kept close with Him. That's the good thing about summer you don't have to juggle school with God. He's first anyways but I've seemed to get a better connection now than before this year.

I'm keeping up on my reading and video games as well, two simple pleasures of summer Not much swimming though...

I have alot of projects to do as well....

I went on a trip for the weekend to a christian camp, place, thing
Starting out on Friday,
We left at around 5:30 and it was a pretty good ride, I was quiet listening 2 my MP3 player. 2 people were in the back of the van we were in giggling, which got annoying to a point.
Coming upon a road closed sign we went around (we werent leading the line, we just followed) half way through we ended up seeing the ones ahead run over somethings, making it spark, we went around. it was a live wire. Lord kept us safe. One described it "darth vader's light saber" and another hoped it to be "a disipating flare". Finally we ended at the camp.
It was cold outside...but we walked it, me in my peaceful silence i enjoy so much. there's a funny thing about me. no matter how loud i seem, i have this quiet, peaceful side that cant help but look up at the sky and get a whole hearted feeling, the feeling of God. The new building, familiar to many, was gorgeous. The grand hall, the parlor, and the living room, all grand. The rooms were awesome!
After a great intro in the chapel with our speaker we went back into the living room and were welcomed with rock music, and the youth pastor and a sponsor acting like total and complete buffoons, it was hilarious! "Extreme Things!!"
Fear Factor. Food. AHHHHHH!! From hot peppers to teriaki flavored liver, the food was crazy. I was forced down 2 spoonfuls of baby food, i could barely keep it down. terrible. I have 2 say the guy on our team who knew what he was eating (the liver) was a brave soul, sacrifice 2 an extreme! Fun 2 watch. Terrible 2 do.
After another quick meeting in the living room to calm us down a bit, we returned to our rooms, then a crash. and yelling. One of the more rowdy boys had pushed a 7th grader into a bathroom window, when it was cold outside and warm inside, instantly breaking it. I knew the boys would be causing trouble especially that one.
It only got better. Another sponsor took a can of air refreshener and sprayed it throughout a boys room. that was too funny. Thank goodness i couldnt smell anything!
It could only get better
End day one.

Day two.
The night before i did not get much sleep because of a dripping faucet. I also couldnt breathe due to my cold
I sat with different people at breakfast, which was nice to get out of the norm.
My team won at tug of war, but lost at the other 2 games, we were still in the lead. by then i was freezing because i had ended up taking off my coat for a scavenger hunt. but one of the boys gave me his hat, altho it didnt help much, it was nice of him. he's given me a jacket b4 too.
i relaxed 4 five hours because the boys and some girls went 2 go play paintaball, i didnt have any cash or extra clothes on me so i didnt go 2 bad, i wouldve whooped 'em! but i got so well deserved rest! And i also won 2 games of air hockey, i need 2 teach them how 2 play a better game 2
Later the boys got lectured about mooning, one guy is now scarred for life :haha: im glad im not him! the stroy spread around even before we went back to the chapel to have another lesson.
After, we went sledding. the ride down was fun, the way back up was, excuse me but, it was hell. When i went back in after one time my hands were as red as a tomato from frostbite. my toes burned too.
I sat and listened 2 a conversation with one of my sponsor friends, and a friend of a guy i noe in school, i have learned that both brothers wear girls clothing no joke!
another kid broke a window by running into it on 'accident' i guess.
I played 3 card games w/ a guy who punched the ice when he was trying 2 dig into it, not noticing that it was ice not snow, and hurt his hand, so he had it wrapped in an Ace bandage. He beat me at all 3 games, which is sad because we were playing spit. He was laughing at me, and i couldnt help but laugh at both me, bcuz i sucked so bad, and him bcuz he punched ice.
Later that night the whole youth told jokes, and we went to bed. The boy who gave me his hat (and ate the liver http://insaneashrak1.deviantart.com/journal/7919224/ Thu, 16 Feb 2006 18:43:02 PST
I'm sick ( me 'n' laurie sick, what a coinkiydink, and we live on seperate parts of the US) and I'm goin' 2 a retreat w/ my church this weekemd...i might survive...pray please
Mayb all my friends (and boys ) will keep my mind off of it this weekend...and hopefully i dun kill a few people that r goin'.
I've had a hard time sleepin the past few days, seems as if my body is halucinating things that rnt hating, noises, pressure, light, and prickles, so on and so forth. I feel like crap and thats all there is to it.
I have a ton of homework over my vacation, i dont think ill make it....
I am also working on a tedious project for one of my pics, [link] and i need a bkground 4 it, if u have any tutorials or ideas 4 a bkground go right ahead and tell me,

Yes, changes. I've made changes in my relationship with God. I'm getting closer and closer to him, becoming a better person, changing bad things, and asking Him to tell me what to do. Although I got a 54 on a math test I asked him to help me on I think He's pushing me to stop being such a procrastinator....but I'm still not happy with that 54 ^_^ I'm currently reading a daily bible and I'm getting into it ^_^, I actually understand it too! Youth is just a great place for an even better connection with God, and I have one favorite person to talk to there ^_^ now I even have her # so I don't have to wait till Wendsday!
Homework, All-County(I play clarinet, yus), and my love, Art is so hard to juggle, especially when mid-terms and ELA's (english language arts) are coming up! I luff talking to all you guys though! It get my mind off the insanity for a bit.
My brain hurts, it's like spring out and yet it's like SPRING outside!! it's so wierd...WHERE ARE THE SNOW DAYS?! sowwe XD
My book is coming very well, as in I'm up to chpt 10 and I hope I can get it published. My deadline I'm hoping for is June but I'm unsure...I hope I can make it!
Well, God's made life better(even though it was pretty good before) and I hope He's making yours better too,

Just in case you couldn't draw it, or had no artistic talent from the hand. What if there was such thing as 3D paper? So if you drew one angle and you could turn it around and see different angles and even change the different angles. What if everyone who wanted one could have a drawing screen connecting to thier computer? I mean, it'd be awesome to NOT pay thousands of dollars to be able to draw straight on your computer! Especially when your mouse is just a spaz ! What if you could do the impossible for art? What if people would just look at more art instead of living daily blah lives? What if I could get my book published and become one of, if not THE youngest writer around? What if all of these what if's could come true soon? Some may come soon than others, and others may not come at all in my life time, but I just wished to share ideas! (c) Insaneashrak1

I love the Christmas season, the snow, the gifts, the cheer ^_^ Everything will be peaceful soon where I am, and its in three days! Happy (almost) birthday Jesus!!

And there's a coffee house at church but....UGGHHHHH. I'm gonna finish this lineart then try and finish chpt 8 of my book!! Ohhhh and by the way!!
