I've been tasked with listing 10 things I like starting with the letter "C". Before I start, I'm almost positive most of them with be food. I just hope my mom doesn't read this since she'll probably yell at me for saying "dirty" words on the internet lulz.

1. Cock ~ You knew that was coming, right? My man's only of course.
2. Caramel ~ Hard, soft, or liquid its all yummy
3. Carousels ~ I plan to ride the one in our mall with my honey soon
4. Cheese ~ Do I need to explain?
5. Cupcakes ~ I love to bake...and eat. >_<
6. Cassie ~ Well only this song: [link]
7. Colors ~ I anything colorful. Especially bright colors.
8. Coupons ~ Who doesn't like saving money?
9. Class ~ Just because there is so much trash in today's society
10.Cunnilingus ~ Because its the shit and only REAL MEN do it...

Well that was fun!

Also, I don't think its been mentioned yet but:

THARS A BLK DOOD GUNNA B N DA WHITE HOUSE!

I'm sorry that I can't celebrate along with everyone else. We still have a LONG way to go before celebration is warranted. As Obama himself said, "We have a lot of work to do".

I was thinking about starting a vBlog to go along with my blog on blogspot, but I realized a few very important things. I barely finish or continue most projects, and I'm pretty sure a very limited amount of people care what I have to say, and most importantly: MY LIFE IS BORING! So yeah I don't think thats a great idea. The thought is nice though.

I am planning to dive back into PS soon,OMGYAY!!!

There was an unsurmountable amount of D R A M A here last night, but its just one of those things that needed to happen...

Interestingly enough I'm now an official Digital Design student so I'm going to have to comment on more things to get used to the terminology. I'm excited yet a little intimidated because I have no clue what I'm doing right now. Not to mention there are others in my class with YEARS of desgin experience.... so yeah I feel like the late blossomer girl in high school.

Another journal so soon? How unheard of, right?

I want to start writing in my livejournal again.... I miss it, and some of them are downright entertaining.

I start school on the 24th, and I'm freaking out a little because I picked Digital Design for my major. I've come to the realization that I really love Design even though I'm not that naturally talented at it. Practice makes perfect though, right?

I'm going to visit my hubby at the end of the month, and words can not describe how excited I am... Though I'm feeling a bit compelled to go on an anorexia and exercise binge for the next two weeks.

Fight tha POWA!!!!

Keep your drama to yourself

~ A Sketchbook
~ Detail Brushes
~ A jar of India Ink

Its just something for me to play around with when I get bored of everything else. I am a true Gemini because I always have way too many projects going on at the same time.

I just plan on seeing what all I can do with the India ink. Its really neat stuff, and the brushes I got work wonderfully with it. In total, I spent about $10 on art supplies.. go me!

Anyway, I decided to just post the photograph I was worrying over. I just remembered that my husband always encourages me to not dwell on everyone else's opinions. I would really like some feedback on the last three things I've posted. Sometimes it really sucks not to have the popularity of people like or or any of the other insanely talented & popular people here on DA. At least then I'd know I was guaranteed at least one comment... lol

So far my grades are in the B range so if I really bust my butt I could mostly or all A's by the end of the semester... I just don't want anything lower than a B... I'm not longer a slave of mediocrity.. My hubby helped me realize that I should always do something as though I'm doing it especially for God. I mean what self-respecting Christian would half-ass do something for God? Yeah... He's so friggin brilliant...

All I need now is a really great scanner or for my digital camera (which rocks) to take great pictures of the sketches I'll be working on...

On a final note, I'm going to be working on my own CSS layout so if my journal starts looking all weird and crazy...just bear with me please ^_^

These next nine weeks should be interesting to say the least. However, I promised to write him every single day so that he'll never feel lonely hopefully. I'm going to keep myself occupied with school and work and church and exercise in the meantime...

I promised him that I'd lose as much weight as possible while he's in basic. Anyone have any advice? I'm not going to be "dieting" really...just being more "food conscious" + exercising at least 3 days a week. Now before anyone gets the wrong idea, my husband loves me the way I am right now... However, he loves me enough not to want to lose me to heart disease, diabetes, etc... If it weren't for health reasons he wouldn't even ask me to lose weight...

I have an artistic nude photo of myself, but I'm still debating whether or not to post it. My hubby really wants me to because he took it and it is a nice picture. However, I have some mixed feelings about it. I wanted to get a few opinions on whether I should post it or not....

I think I'll stay home tonight for my exercise session.. I want to try out my exercise ball dvd... hooray!

AJ and I are two very silly peas in a pod lol. I actually can't complain about anything other than work and being sick... Working at this Wal-Mart sucks more than I thought it would...plus I've been hella sick since I moved down here.

I haven't had much time to practice coloring, but I do have a project in the works. I'm also going to make something for the Breast Cancer Quilt. Cancer is very prevalent in my family (including my hubby's side) so a cure would mean a lot. In conclusion blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.....

I'm slowly getting my Pixel Fighter ID done...emphasis on S L O W L Y.

I don't think I've ever been this determined to finish something in my life.. Check out my scraps in a few minutes and you'll be able to see where I am on it. I'm liking my color scheme thus far and my "power" is still pretty original from what I've seen.

I just have to figure out how to pixel myself and my magical cupcake. The only pixel anything I've made is my kitty emote.

I doubt this poor little journal will even be seen, but I'm asking for some pointers, help, tips, anything? Just like TLC used to sing; I ain't too proud to beg.

On another note if anyone who knows/likes me on here has Gaia Online my name on there is JustLouisa (original I know >_< and my uber hawt hubby is the first person on my friends list... He has a picture of me tiled across his background lol.

Ok so I wanted to be like all the other cool kids in school and hop on the Pixel Fighter ID bandwagon because I wanted to be part of something huge and possibly DA historical.... I've managed to get the BASE of it set up but when it comes to the money shot and the sprite...I'm pretty much screwed.

As I said before, I'm not an artist by any means. I just started fooling around making signatures at first and then was pretty much told by some that I was not making "real" art...ok fine.

Now I'm trying to do the real thing. I want to paint, sketch, draw, color...SOMETHING that looks good enough for ME to call art. I'm pretty handy with a digital camera, some crayons, and glitter lol.

I have all these great ideas swimming in my head, but the execution fails me miserably. I suppose thats why I'm so frustrated with this... I am determined to make this darn ID if its the last thing I do. However, I am indeed my worst critic. My husband will tell me things look great, but they look like crap in a basket to me.

Another thing is that I don't have like HOURS to just sit and work myself through it.. My work schedule varies quite a bit, and on my off days I have to try and get ALL my errands done. Also, my hubby is still looking for a job so we're like REALLY low on money at the minute..like to the point where paying our rent is going to break both of our accounts. On top of that I'm trying to get both of us reasy for the rapidly approaching fall semester. Its his first year of college and I'm trying to make sure he doesn't have to wait until Spring to go.

So life is just...life right now..... oh and I have a sinus infection too and no doctor to go to because I'm poor. FABULOUS!

So anyway if anyone whose working on the PixelID thing would be willing to give me some pointers I'd be forever indebted and grateful.

Promise, Promise

I can't even begin to describe how excited I am. They came to visit my husband and me today and her belly is SO cute! I wish I could've taken a picture.

So yeah thats about it. I'm too lazy and tired to actually draw/color/paint/photograph anything at the moment. I'm feeling a bit uninspired as well. Oh, and I in no way consider myself an artist considering I don't have the skills to make what I deem as real "art"... my standards for myself are too high I think... >_<

I've got church in the AM followed by a lovely 2-11pm shift at Wally World so I'm heading to bed for now. Peace!

Also, I have something I need to confess.

I am a mass faver and watcher...I'm silent like a ninja and leave no traces of my visits...besides the messages DA leaves behind. I know almost nothing about art so thats the reason for my lack of comments. If I fave it or watch you, you are awesome. enough said....and if I haven't faved or watched you, I haven't seen your work yet ^_^

My next feature is coming soon so keep an eye out. Recommendations are definitely welcome as well. ]]> ~justlouisa http://justlouisa.deviantart.com/journal/13510249/ http://justlouisa.deviantart.com/journal/13510249/ Wed, 27 Jun 2007 09:48:01 PDT
I moved to Huntsville last month. I love my apartment and the city is really nice. I got married to Wonderboy on the 8th of this month. He's so amazing, and he treats me like royalty. I transferred to the Wal-Mart here, but I don't like it as much. I hate being a cashier so hopefully I'll be able to move to another position soon. So my life is going pretty swell at the moment. I've even been able to practice my digital painting/coloring/drawing... I'm still working on the basics, but I think I'm starting to improve. I could use some pointers for backgrounds and shading so if anyone has any helpful hints for me I'd greatly appreciate them.

On another note, I wanted to start showcasing works of art that have caught my eye. So check out these amazing pieces if you haven't seen them already. ^_^

I've got quite a few projects in the works..in fact I'm proud to say that I've started an original project by moi that isn't coloring someone else's fabulous lineart. I hope it turns out a fraction as good as it looks in my head.

Me and wonderboy are doing fine....Though he's a little sad that I'm moving in a few weeks. He loves me so much he can't stand to be away from me lol. How sweet is that?

I think I'm going to be a trendwhore and start filling my journal entries with artists I think are amazing or those who don't get the recognition they deserve. I'm such a compulsive faver and watcher that I don't even leave comments. The shame....I know. Its just that I can never really think of anything to say and the artists already have tons of comments so mine can't possibly matter, right?

Anywho, I will be glad when next week is over..I have my two finals and then I'll actually have two days (May 8th-9th) to actually work on my WIP's...hopefully. It'll be awesome this summer since I won't be taking any classes, just working. I'll have plenty of time and my own space to practice as long as I please. Yippee!!!

Much love to the people who rock with a tablet or mouse. I only hope to be as awesome when I grow up!

Well I've been meaning to update for like weeks but I've either been too lazy or tired...or both. I forgot how consuming relationships can be after being single for almost two years. Though this time around I'm not finding it even a little bit pointless like last time. Thats always a good sign, right? Between working and spending time with Wonderboy I really haven't had much time to myself..except when I'm sleep, but even then the people in my dreams won't let me be.

School is pretty bleh, but fortunately I haven't had to skip much because both of my teachers let their students out early or just cancel class whenever they feel like it. Though its not so bueno come test time, but I'm doing pretty average in both classes. History is just one of those subjects I find kind of mundane and useless. Though I guess I shouldn't be as vague about my severe dislike of the subject. Some history is pretty intriguing, but my love for the murky topic of politics has never been established.

Only one more month until I move into my apartment. I can't even express how excited I am. The fact that I'll have my own private sanctuary to decorate and live in is almost too much for my wal-mart beaten brain to accept. The funniest thing is that I have no furniture, but I have a plethora of electronic goodies to play with. Unfortunately, I don't know how well those goodies will serve my electric bill. I have a tv, dvd, vcr, ps3, and stereo...no bed, no dresser, no couches/chairs, no tables...yeah thats pretty sad.

As far as my artwork is concerned, I'm pretty much stranded in WIP Hell. One of the things I hate about being a Gemini is my "Start 10 projects, finish maybe one" habit...its really annoying because I have all these beautiful concepts and ideas, but my failure lies in execution. I've taken to coloring other people's lineart for now. I have a bad feeling that I'm not even remotely doing any justice to these talented artists' work, but I am trying my hardest. When the hell did coloring get so hard?!?!

On a more jovial note, Wonderboy proposed and I accepted. There was no ring, no fanfare, no huge gestures....but surprisingly it was absolute perfection. My ring is on Layaway at work, but I've tried it on and it fits perfectly. We're not having a wedding because I honestly don't need one, but we're going to have one hell of a reception. Once he finishes paying for it I'll take pictures. Its a 1/3 carat, 10 karat white gold bridal set...its gorgeous and the perfect size for my dainty hand. I don't know when we're getting married....maybe next year or something. Right now we're trying to focus on school and working.

So yeah that pretty much catches things up I think.....sorry if its long and randon. ^_^

P.S.

WAL-MART = ASS

....seriously ]]> ~justlouisa http://justlouisa.deviantart.com/journal/12252055/ http://justlouisa.deviantart.com/journal/12252055/ Mon, 19 Mar 2007 22:14:50 PDT
Also, I have found me an apartment..WOOT! I have an appointment for Wed. to go check it out. I am so excited that I'll finally have my own place to decorate and stuff. I may also have some other really big news, but I'll have to wait at least another week before I say anything for sure.

There's more I'd like to write, but I'm tired....really tired..and a little lazy too..

So let me tell you kids about my day. It was pretty hectic, but I can now admit that I did enjoy myself..

I went to work hoping that I'd actually get to do some CSM stuff today. There I went unknowingly setting myself up again. It turns out that one of the other CSM's has had a stroke and is taking a leave of absence.....So that meant I had to skip past my CSM training and just go for it. Its the equivalent of throwing a child into the water and yelling "sink or swim!!!" I floundered a bit but I am proud to say that I didn't drown. My mini-ego got a little stroking today from all the people telling me what a good job I did. Yay for not crushing under pressure.

So today was make a fool of myself day to all the cute guys I work with. I have this plan to make homemade foam valentines in the shape of fortune cookies (score one for originality!) and I'm baking cupcakes because I've been in a serious baking mood lately. I must be ovulating or something.... My first victim came in the form of little Kenny...though I asked him if he liked cupcakes yesterday. He replied with a not so innocent "yeah..chocolate...can I have some chocolate". I told him he was out of luck as I hate chocolate cupcakes. I told him today to call me when he turns 20 .... jail is not a friendly place for little people like me.

My second victim was Mr. Pretty Blue Eyes, Robert. He seemed a bit confused when I asked him if he liked cupcakes. He actually asked "why" instead if giving me an answer. I mean thats not exactly a baited question or anything. Well after I explained why he seemed pretty enthusiastic about getting "free" cupcakes....I still think he's kinda clueless that I kinda have a thing for him.

Third victim would be Leo. He was a surprise since he wasn't supposed to see me looking all bad and stuff today. It figures that he'd come into the store on his day off. Luckily I caught him before he left the store...I like his reply the best: "Hell yeah I like cupcakes! I'm gonna have to get you something..." I told him it wasn't necessary, but he wasn't hearing it...he offered to get me a cake until I kindly reminded him that I was already baking cupcakes...so know what he's getting me instead? A rose....I dunno though I think I'll tell him tomorrow not to worry about it. His phone number and a date would suffice nicely instead.

Fourth victim is Jacob...the cute but seriously cocky boy who works in produce. He thinks he's the shit but he's really not. I mean yeah he's one of the best looking guys at work, but he has issues. I told him he could have a cupcake but only if he was nice to me. To that he replied "I'm always nice to you." I suppose giving people strange looks and blank stares could be considered nice by some foreign culture..who knows?

So anyway yeah that was my day...and I'm off tomorrow and Wed but I'll end up at wal-mart for one reason or another. Its like crack... seriously..
