I draw a lot but it's never anything that I feel worthy of posting on dA, so that is why I haven't uploaded any new deviations since August.

It's been an eventful few months, for better or for worse.

I'll try to get something posted soon. ♥♥ My apologies for the inbox spam. Just saying I'm still here.

This was probably just a result of being on dA right before going to sleep, but nevertheless, I clearly need help.

On a side note: after finishing the summer reading books, I believe I'm going to start 'The Importance of Being Earnest' ♥

Tell me. How do I upload writing to deviantArt.

I thought I had it saved as a text file but apparently not?
It's still asking for a preview image under the [literature > prose > fiction > fanfiction] categories.

I'm sure there's a guide to doing this stuff somewhere but dA is a vast scary jungle and I have no idea how to navigate myself around this place

Oh btw, if I uploaded a REALLY EMBARASSINGLY TERRIBLE drabble-ish fanfic here would anyone mind reading it and giving me pointers.
My writing style is a disaster. I need help. In a major way.

OK I'm done here. Any tips, pointers, pimpslaps, etc. are appreciated~ (in most cases)

• I told myself to get offline an hour ago

• 8th grade prom was yesterday? : D fun stuff

• hopefully I will get to take sewing classes over the summer!

• I'm in this one musical, "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" as Smitty and it is boatloads of fun. UNFORTUNATELY her songs are in an awkward spot in my range (right on my vocal break) so I sound like garbage

• I finished reading A Clockwork Orange and ... just ... yeah wow. But I enjoyed it. Also today I got Anthony Rapp's memoir and a second copy of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead because I was going through withdrawals. I want the movie

• AS FAR AS ARTISTIC, dA-RELATED THINGS GO:
-- I recently rediscovered my intense love for "CATS" so expect me re-drawing the nameless tribe LOL THAT'S FROM LIKE 3 YEARS AGO
-- I guess I ought to do fanart for like, all these games and books and stuff
-- I should do other creative things like writing!
-- I ... um ... IDK what else to say

OK DONE I SWEAR
Have a lovely few final weeks of school, all you school-attending readers out there ♥

WHY is it SO HARD to be MOTIVATED to do PRODUCTIVE THINGS

All I want to do is sit around and play the Sims 2 or Persona 4 or something when I have this ENORMOUS FREAKIN GEORGIA HISTORY PROJECT due in less than a month that I haven't even completed 2% of.

I hate being a procrastinator

Also I need some exercise

~~~

On a positive note, otherwise I feel relatively happy!
I have a nephew and 4 grandpuppies since last Monday wheee

also I am feeling much more creatively inspired than I have in the past month, which automatically increases my good vibes by 50%.
I MAY EVEN WRITE SOMETHING, WHO KNOWS! WOULDN'T THAT BE THRILLING!

I apologize for the general lack of fluidity and proper punctuation in this entry. There goes 120 seconds of your life that you'll never get back. sorry

Well I'm such a conformist so on my file, I named him Hideo, because the game is set in Japan and all the other characters, naturally, have Japanese names.

Noah named his character Michael Jackson.

"Okay kids, listen up! You all know Michael Jackson, right?"

"I'm Yosuke, and this is my buddy, Michael Jackson."

"Yo! Jackson-kun! Want to walk home with us?"

Deep down inside, I know that it's totally stupid. But I can't stop myself from laughing.
Shows what kind of a mature and developed sense of humor Lyndsey has.

ohoho

Sooo I'm just typing, because I am happy. One play down, two to go. "Tommy 'n Gina's Wedding" was ultra-fab but I'm tired of walking like an old lady. It hurts my legs and back, man. But I did find my jacket and makeup bag!! :'D

And to top things off, it's a FOUR-DAY WEEKEND YESSS. I plan to use this time to beat the last cases on Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations and Apollo Justice. Plus maybe Time Hollow because it's so SHORT.

I'll stop rambling.

[ps. Anyone with a tablet. Is it just mine, or does anyone else find it difficult to dot I's and do other small things like that, because the tablet pen is so sensitive? : /]

I trust that everyone had a good holiday?

oh and, in case you hadn't noticed. THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF WINTER BREAK.

BRB, THROWING SELF OFF A CLIFF

Yeah but we'll be optimistic. Half the school year gone, woohoo. DFA kids get to start Physics, assuming they are in 8th grade, such as myself.
(Speaking of DFA ... I strongly recommend that they come see "Zink" in two weeks ;DD y'know, the Drama 3 production?)

okay, I don't know where I'm going with this. Whatev.

I finished Lord of the Flies and have started back on Castaways of the Flying Dutchman. as;dfjlk the cover art is so pretty.

ALSO ALSO, I beat Phoenix Wright! Now for the other two games. Not that I mind.

Happy belated Halloween BTW~

I got to the final chapter in Apollo Justice, and I was all, wait! this is so wrong! How can I allow myself to play the conclusion of the entire series without playing through the first three titles beforehand?! So now, I am solving that problem.

Miles Edgeworth is really rather awesome, and I was surprised to see how similar Pheen and Apollo are. Edgeworth and Klavier are polar opposites though, haha. but I like Maya and Trucy equally.

in other news, no new episode of The Mentalist this week.

So, Klavier Gavin is obviously German, or pretends to be, very strongly. case in point:
JA JA JA? JA? JA, FRAULEIN? ACHTUNG!! ACH, ACH!! WE ARE IN A PICKLE! LIEDERHOSEN? FRAULEEEIINNNN!! HERR DOKTOR>!>!?!>?!sdkhfl

(okay, so he never really said anything about liederhosen, and pickles aren't strictly German.)

but if he's Kristoph Gavin's younger brother, isn't Kristoph supposed to be German too?
they are exact clones of eachother, though Kristoph has an English first name, and is obviously quite, QUITE fluent in this language. he shows absolutely no sign of German-ism.

I haven't played any of the other Pheonix Wright games so I don't know how they behave in the first trilogy (I know Klavier is in the third one, at least). but ATM. I'm pretty confused by this ultra-important matter.

I'd marry him, either way : /

EDIT:
also, he said 'danke'. like, once.

ummm ...
I just started watching Project Runway season 5 on Youtube and I'm all caught up c:

Keith got voted off this week, buuut I was really expecting it. his Lipstick Jungle dress was so frumpy. I'm not sure how he won that one : /

I just read the last two volumes Friday night and Saturday morning, and read volume 10 about two weeks ago.

some notes I have, plus lots of caplock ...

-When people said the ending was WEEEEIRD ... they were not kidding. wow.
-MIKAMI IS STILL THE GREATEST EVER, SO IS MATSUDA
-Matt is cool and all, but WHERE DID HE COME FROM?

and I'm currently on episode 2.

I am laughing SO HARD. SOOOOOO. HAAAARRRDDDD. gosh throughout this whole second episode ... words cannot describe.

but, I'm excited. I've wanted to see this series for forever. :]
I've watched clips from later in the series on Youtube but I've never seen a full episode. I rather like all of them. but I'm only on episode 2 so I don't really know any of the characters that well.

next will be Doctor Who, whenever I pick that up : D

^ my two latest musical theatre obsessions. but I still haven't read/seen the Vampire Chronicles. and ftr, Mate Kamaras(*) may be the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes upon.

During the school year, I reallyreallywant to read:

*all of H. G. Wells's novels that I haven't gotten to yet
*Dracula - Bram Stoker
*The Tales of Beedle the Bard!! : D - J. K. Rowling (12/4/08)
*The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
*Mister Monday - Garth Nix
*The Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Leroux
*Castaways of the Flying Dutchman - Brian Jacques
*The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing - somebody.


(*)On an unrelated note: A question or two. how do you get an accent mark over the E's and A's cause Mate Kamaras has like, four. and how do you make your font smaller~? c:

I may go see Dark Knight tomorrow!! [exclamation of ecstatic glee goes here]

Also, I'm not even halfway through with Johnny Tremain. OH WELLS. I'll fix that problem.

I strongly, STRONGLY desire to watch Project Runway this season. BUT I DON'T GET BRAVO. *strangles a teddy bear* also, Torchwood is inbetween seasons, I haven't even watched the first two, and I'm probably not allowed to anyway. I guess I can settle for Doctor Who. At least I -get- BBC. *GLARES AT BRAVO ... or COMCAST, more like it*

I finished 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' in a week, now I'm reading 'The Island of Dr. Moreau'. It's much shorter of course, and by the author of 'The Time Machine' which I loved loved loved. I'mma try to read all/most of his stuff.

this is why. I have fascinating news!!

1) I just bought 'The Picture of Dorian Gray.'

I am on page ... zero.
However, I made the ridiculous mistake of fingering through the foreword before actually, y'know, reading the book.
Which shot me between the eyes with a MEGANORMOUS SPOILER of course. ))):< well I mean it's a classic from the 19th century, you're supposed to already know/not care what happens in older books like this and Wuthering Heights and The Time Machine and such, but A;LKAJG;LFADGJ I WANTED TO READ IT MYSELF.
Sense and feel my rage.
XD
Oh well, it'll be a lot cooler when I actually read it for real : D

2) I also just got 'Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends' by COLDPLAY.

My happiness is self explanitory. It is good. Go hear it.

Also, for the record, I (sort of) fixed my SIMS 2 FACIAL TEMPLATE issues that were SO TOTALLY IMPORTANT and such a HINDRANCE to my DAILY LIFE. of course.

so, that is where I will stop. this is too long anyway. the end <3

so, for fellow Sims 2 nerds such as myself:

I downloaded default custom skins, default custom eyes, and replacement facial templates. I was scared cause I download custom crap all the time, but I've never tried defaults and face templates.
The skins are like edits of Louis 07 but not as good as the original. But I love the eyes, even if the colors are odd = 3= At least they all work.
however, the facial templates.
They are hideous.
The preview pictures never showed the side profile view, and they only look good with cakeloads of custom makeup. they look too anime, I like my sims to look like normal people kthx
anyway, they will probably get deleted and replaced with others so it's all good 8)
see the problem I have is that I want the generated townies to not be ugly anymore, but I don't want all of them to look the same. Like, the pretty ones I like all look exactly the same, but only the awkward looking ones have diversity.
I guess I'm going to download a bunch of different face sets so I'll have a mix of styles. /IF/ people seperate the files for download like they should. D:<
oh well.
end rant ^^

a) what is wrong with me,

c) is he mad at me,

so how bout I'm sitting here playing the new Mystery Dungeon Pokemon game and I got a Skitty right. but then I decided I didn't like the name I gave the Charmander partner guy. so I restart the game. and I try FIFTY TIMES but it will NOT give me a Skitty again!!
so I've settled for a lame old Pikachu and Totodile )8
actually they're not that lame, but still.

Also, I've come to the conclusion that all Pokemon should speak in high-pitched posh English accents. My brother and I had a field day with that idea.

on an unrelated note: NO. not Barker. That man is dead. It's Todd now. Sweeney Todd. and he will have his revenge.

As soon as the new scanner is installed I'll add more stuff.

Right now all I have is Paint and Artweaver.

I've been in an artistic mood lately, maybe I'll throw up something half decent to put on here later.

Get to know my Athan Leroux!! *corny little fanfare*

2)How old is he/she?- 22
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?- Guy
4)What's his/her race?- Human; my own messed up version of a vampire; maybe something else, I don't know O_o


APPEARANCE
1)If this character were to suddenly become part of the 3D world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would s/he get?- Uhm... More than he'd want.
2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?- Yeah, by some people
3)What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?- Red stripes on the sides of his face; his voice; the uber REDNESS of his hair; looking at people sideways instead of directly
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?- ... >> The way i've him pictured in my mind, yeah. Now don't ask me that anymore!


PERSONALITY
1)Temper?- Sometimes. 8D;;
2)Does your character ever get depressed?- Yeah, upset sometimes, but not like *CUTCUTCUT* depressed.
3)Leader or Follower?- He may seem like a leader, but he's not. Not anymore, at least.
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?- Reserved but sarcastic


HISTORY
1) Did your OC have a family of any sort?- Yes; and change that "did" to "does." There's his half-brother Aidan, his biological father Aksel and his biological mother Venus whom he hasn't seen in years.
2) Is your character out on his/her own?- As in he's not living with his parents and is paying for things by himself?- Yes, and he has been for quite a while now. Though he does have many "roommates" and is forced to share a room with Aidan, much to his disliking
3) Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?- Yes X3; His own death, for one ...
4) What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?- Just last year in the crisp late Autumn ... oh, don't get me started. XD


ROMANCE
1) Single?- No
2) Had your OC developed any romantic relationships?- Oui
3) Virgin?- I'll just skip this one; that's one of the things I prefer not to think about. My poor childish brain!!
4) Does your character like flirting?- He's not really all that outgoing


SYMBOLISM
1) What animal would you accociate your OC with? (Sorry, no creatures of myth and legend allowed!)- An owl, maybe ... ?
2) Musical Instrument?- A viola, maybe; four different strings to play on, all different pitches, just like the violin; it just makes a different sound. A deeper one.
3) Element?- Fire. Feed it and it rises; douse it and it dies
4) Planet?- Jupiter ... uhr, find out the logic behind that one by yourself

1) Do you draw your character?- I try to a lot, but it doesn't always come out well. He's hard to draw.
2) Do you write about him/her?- Yes, occasionally
3) Do you use him/her in any rpgs?- ALL. THE. TIME.
4) What other ways have you appreciated your OC?- Loving him half to death; telling my friends and family all about him

RANDOMIZE!
1) Is your character wanted for anything?- ... that's a toughie
2) What are three weaknesses in him/her?- Not being able to express his feelings or emotions very well, which often makes him come across as cold and vague; a sharp tongue; getting annoyed easily
3) Strengths?- Compassion; flexibility (being able to adapt to different situations easily); fierce devotion to loved ones
4) Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?- No
5) What's one quirk about him/her?- He might be a little bit of a perfectionist.
6) Does your character have any phobias?- I don't think so, though he's iffy on being the center of attention.
7) What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?- Erg. I'm um, not so sure ...
8) Does your OC like chickens?- ... What the heck?! XDDD *laughs* That was so unexpected... Well, he doesn't mind eating 'em...

THE FINAL QUESTION
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like? -
If they really existed and I knew who they were, i'd do my best to make sure they don't dislike me at all. They don't have to really like me, just tolerate me (and respect me, gosh darnit!!). I think of all my characters as my children, despite many of them being twice my age. ]]> ~keeptrying http://keeptrying.deviantart.com/journal/9070913/ http://keeptrying.deviantart.com/journal/9070913/ Wed, 14 Jun 2006 20:40:53 PDT
