I decided to get a membership today :) I like it so far. I doubt I'll end up regretting the choice, they don't cost that much :) I've decided I'd like to go see the Foo Fighters play live somewhere. However, this decision has a small hole in it, which sucks- they aren't touring. Curse you, musically talented people, curse you!

In other news, I got a tattoo :S It hurt a bit, but I'm glad I did it. A chinese dragon on my back, for my time in China. It's quite big too, my hand span give or take.... If I travel too much, I'll end up as an ink man. But if that is my destiny, so it must be. The next one will be a European dragon in the same style =D but not until I forget the process that it takes.

Lastly, I'm almost 19. Go me!

And more lastly (yeah, that's right) I want to recommend looking at the gallery of :iconilovetheused15:. She has some amazing photos in there.

Anyway, going to try to crank out 1 picture a week, but I'm not sure I'll be able to do that, so I 1 every 2 weeks is my minimum. Gonna try to build up my folio.



Also, I just noticed my Pepsi Max can says Maximum Kick, No Sugar.... I could have sworn it used to say No Sugar, Max Taste.....

]]> *joshbenjamin Well.... time to update methinks http://joshbenjamin.deviantart.com/journal/27883170/ http://joshbenjamin.deviantart.com/journal/27883170/ Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:14:05 PDT
It's been months since I updated! Well, technically I posted Wrath not to long ago, and another 'artwork' called Desire Anarchy. But the former was a story I wrote maybe a year ago, at least 9 months, and the latter I deleted because I decided it was rubbish and, well.... yeah, rubbish, and required to talent to create.

Not to mention my journal hasn't been touched since Feb until now.... I don't believe many people read it, but sometimes it's good to put your mind and opinion out there....

So, to rectify that!

I've cleaned up my gallery, throwing a bunch into scraps (that really should have been there in the first place!) and just deleting a few others. I also found some unfinished works, dusted them off, and got back to work with them.

For the 5 people who will read this journal, if that, (prove me wrong and I'll draw you a picture. Go on, I dare you! Give my ego a boost) you may be asking why the sudden move to action. Well, it could be a few things. Maybe I want to test out my new monitor. Maybe a good mood inspires me to do something productive. Maybe I used all my download and essentially killed my internet, so I'm going insane with boredom. Or maybe a combination of the 3.

... but I'd go with the boredom thing.

So, I'm gonna try to be more active in the community. Starting by posting my progress on current artwork.

Cheerio for now!

I go to a school during the day and learn to teach, then go out at night. The people I'm with are awesome, very energetic... and amusing when drunk.

Anyway, I haven't been here long enough to have much to report, so until the next update,

Eight things you didn’t know about me:

· I live in Melbourne, but I support the Adelaide Crows (which is considered a crime by footy fans)
· I enjoy watching kids movies, I think they're humorous
· I wish I could play the guitar, and am currently working on it
· I hate mannequins and scarecrows. They're freaky!
· I want to get tattoos, and I'm probably going to get one in the next 6 months
· I've seen every episode of scrubs out so far (including season 8) at least twice
· I value my iPod above many people's lives. But, to be fair, to took ages to get that music, and it's all sorted out properly and everything!
· I'm 18 and I still strongly believe the term "So's your face" is applicable in nearly every situation

Okay, let me try and figure out what has happened that is note worthy. A lot has happened in the past 6 months since my last journal and I'm not sure what I should mention. I don't want to bore the few people who read this to death.

So, what to mention...? Ah, yes.

I've graduated high school. If you'll excuse me for a second? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Anyway, my exams finished last Thursday (I had the last exam possible in my state's schooling system...) and I had my valedictory dinner a mere 2 hours after I finished. Thanks, who ever organised that... I find out how I did on December 15. Eep

Hmmmm... What else? There's a few things, but I don't want to embarrass the girl involved. She knows who she is though =P

Apart from that... OH! For those who don't know, I work at Hungry Jack's (that's Burger King for non Australians). Anyway, I do actually enjoy it there, the people are funny and the work is easy. So, I'm becoming a manager (because the pay is better =P) We've had to work around some factors though.

The main factor is that I'm going to China next year... for six months... YEY! I leave February 4th, and will be teaching English. I want to travel afterward, but I want someone to travel with... Anyway, again, YEY!

Factor two is I'm not 18 yet. However, in... 8 days, that changes. I am legally becoming an adult. I can buy alcohol and go to bars and drive and everything. Just have to make they are mutually exclusive events.

I think that's all. The rest is either not worth mentioning, or will just depress you (or make me sound like I'm whining)

So...

Zai jian wo de peng you,
Josh

]]> *joshbenjamin A few big things http://joshbenjamin.deviantart.com/journal/19175157/ http://joshbenjamin.deviantart.com/journal/19175157/ Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:12:00 PDT
First off, I had my interview with GAP activities projects, and in a week and a half I find out if I got in or not. I think the interview went pretty well, fingers crossed.

Second, I just bought a Wii ^_^ and am having a fun time (as is the rest of my family). I got Wii Sports, Beach Sports and Carnival games with it, and also bought a Gamecube controller and Brawl. Brawl is awesome, but I'm a bit rusty and need people to play against. If any of you have it, Friend Codes please? Cheers.

Third, I'm doing the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes 2008 and am looking for support in the form of donations or people to participate in the walk. It's something that means a lot to me, so any help would be appreciated. My personal website is [link] and my team's is [link]

Lastly, I wrote an article about the walk and diabetes and sent it to a few papers. I got a call from one of them this morning, who told me it was very well written and they wanted to run with it. It's going to be published in the local Maroondah Leader in the YourSpace section. I can't believe it's actually going to get printed! Keep an eye out for it!

Have a good holidays,
Josh

There's been a lot going on. Work mostly, but some parties and stuff. Fun nights thrown in amongst work to make my weekends completely full, which means late nights trying to finish homework...

I've had a 4 day weekend, on account of the Queen's Birthday weekend, coupled with a study day. However, that translates to an exam tomorrow. Physics... Ugh. My fault for doing a science. Still, it's not too bad. The worst thing is that I don't feel like I have an exam tomorrow, so I won't take it seriously. Hopefully it will dawn tomorrow. I did study though.

Oh, and China. CHINA WAS AWESOME! I've applied to go back next year, for 6 months. Fingers crossed I get in, because it costs $100 just to apply (if you get in, that goes to the fee) and you don't get that back if you don't get a spot... Wish me luck.

Everyone on the trip was awesome, made some new friends, got to know old ones betterer. A shout out to Tash, Bev, Lea, Lauren, Nessa and Black Belt -1 (in joke) in particular. I know that most of them won't read this, seeing as they don't own devart, but maybe it will get to them. To everyone else, you're all super cool as well, don't worry. Except you. You suck. =P

Art folio was handed in, and I'm not thrilled about it... but, hey, what can you do? Kick the final piece's collective arses, that's what.

Anyway, thats just abou- oh! 600 pageviews is coming up in like... 5 pageviews or something. A picture for the person who gets it. Also 666, 700, 777, 800, 900 and 1000. Yes, lots of pictures. You can choose what you want in the picture, and I'll see what I can do. No promises on when it gets uploaded though.

Yeah, pretty sure that's it.

Keep Rockin'
Josh

I'm going away over the Easter holidays, with :iconeveningsilence: and some other people from our schools... about 30 other people. We're going to china. Exciting, ey? I leave tomorrow night, and I'm really looking forward to it.

I'll be sure to take lots of photos, so hopefully there will be some good ones thrown in there.

Anyway, have a good Easter, enjoy your chocolate, and relax over the holidays.

Cheers,
Josh

I changed because of several reasons, the main two were I didn't like the name, and I didn't like its association with harry potter.

Anyway, thats all for now.
