How are you all? I've started university in recent months, I'm studying Physics. I'm kinda regretting it because it's really hard and it makes me feel kinda stupid most of the time because I don't understand anything.
But I'm hoping it'll get better as the material gets more interesting.

On an unrelated note, I'm thinking about starting a clothing range. Mostly t-shirts, screen printed by hand. I've started a few designs and I'm actually pretty excited about it. I think it has potential.

It's not that I haven't been drawing lately, it's just that what I've been doing is writing down all my thoughts and feelings that I don't dare to tell anyone and drawing around them.

The exhibitionist in me wants to show the stuff anyway, but I guess that defeats the point in my writing them in secret instead of just telling them.

I guess I still need to think this through a bit more.
There's too much stuff in my brain CONFUSING me.

I can't study. Nothing sticks. I should be doing an a-level in rockstar portraits and doodling. That seems to be all I do with my time.

Things personally have been going very well. I'm pretty happy with stuff right now.
Apart from exams and how I haven't left my house in four days. But thats irrelevant.

Artwise, I started a drawing today that may or may not work out, so you may or may not see it soon (or not soon, you know how I am). Its sort of a gift for someone important so hopefully it works and works well and soon.


Ps. For anyone in =in-ni who's wondering where I've gotten to, I should be tiptoeing back on the scene by May, hopefully. And I'll be back full time by the middle of June. So that'll be fun.

I've also had a fantastic week and am generally loving everything right now [:

Although I'm a tiny bit sick, but that doesn't even matter.

I have given into peer pressure and have started usuing facebook properly. I am ashamed of myself. As much as I hate social networking, I'm really addicted lately. (Secretly I just wanna be really popular.) Come find me on bebo, facebook or myspace if you can be bothered. But fyi I wont add you if I don't know who you are.

I keep forgetting to call the optician. I have one pair of contact lenses left. Not good.

Someone remind me.

This is a brand new and awesome comic made by my friend *TWULF and you should totally read it because it will make your life better.

I'm totally serious.

I have secret artsy plans in the works that will probably fall through but I need to get further into them before I can determine whether or not they will work.

Also, anyone who is a member of =in-ni, we will be having another chat sesh on tuesday 10th at 9pm. Be there okay? [:

I hope I get better by tomorrow. I have tickets to see Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip and I so don't want to miss it, especially because I had to miss the last gig I had tickets for (Pendulum) because I wasn't well.
Not having a lot of luck in the music dept.

So anyway. I thought it might be fun to set all you guys a challenge. I want you to draw your favourite song. You can take that any way you want, like illustrate one line, or a concept or what you think the song represents. It can be any song. Draw your favourite song of all time, or if you're more like me and have a new favourite song every three days, do more than one! I wanna see them when you're done, you can leave them as a comment on this journal.

I've had sort of ideas for songs I like floating around for a while, and I figure if I put this out there it'll motivate me to get them on to paper.

Let's do this!

I promised my friend a painting for her birthday, which is at the end of this month. But the problem is I have no idea what to paint. She said she maybe wanted a landscape, but I just can't find anything that jumps out at me and makes me want to paint it.
Inspiration is still scarce these days. The desire and the will is there, just not the inspiration.
Any ideas? [:

I wish I was one of those people who could find inspirtation in any emotion, but I'm not. I depend more on a muse. So I guess thats why I haven't been posting much/any work. It isn't for lack of trying, believe me.

I dunno.

MERRY NEW YEAR WOO.

It was due today lol.

]]> ~littlepiggi http://littlepiggi.deviantart.com/journal/21633338/ http://littlepiggi.deviantart.com/journal/21633338/ Sun, 23 Nov 2008 15:06:50 PST Like that time when I was making noodles and managed to completely scald my hand resulting in my not being able to sleep or write or go to school or do most everyday things.

Today in work I caught my fingers in the door of the stock room. Normally I just pull the door closed as im walking out, but today I pulled it harder than I usually do so it was going faster than it usually does and it closed on my fingers. They're pretty okay, just a little bruise and a little cut. But the pain of it was so bad I got really sick and dizzy and I fainted and whacked my head on the hard bit of the floor behind the till. I felt it coming on and I was saying to myself "don't faint, don't faint" over and over and I was just about to sit down and tell someone I felt faint, when I lost conciousness and I woke up not having a clue where I was with a throbbing head. The bump at the start was huuuge. So obviously I left work early and my dad took me to casulty because it had been such a bump and it was so swollen and sore. The waiting time was about 3 hours but since I had a head injury my priority was "yellow" which means "urgent" so I only had to wait around an hour.

They took my blood pressure (which was about 114/68 - isn't that pretty low?) and then 3 or 4 x-rays of my forehead, but everything turned out to be okay so they gave me some painkillers (which didn't work thankyou) and sent my home. The swelling is at the very right hand side of my forehead just above my eyebrow, but the doctor said its going to move down and bruise all along that side of my face to my cheekbone and leave me with a lovely black eye and a lot of pain. I'm not allowed to do anything too energetic in the next few days. So that means no school tomorrow (woo!) and probably no Pendulum either ))): fully gutted.

But if it wasn't bad enough that my face is fucked up, my shoulder is bruised, my glasses are bent and I slightly chipped a tooth from the fall as well.

All this from just closing a door too fast.

So how confused was I when I was told to wear pajamas and bright colours.
So I went along and dressed up and didn't fully catch on to the concept until I went down to my kitchen where as soon as I opened the door heavy dance music was blasted from the pitch darkness and glowsticks were waved in my face. They threw me a rave for my birthday.
But not just a rave. A Pajama Rave.

Best night everrr. Photos are on Bebo if you want to check it out.
Also, here is a video so you can see how awesome it was.

I am going to go watch the Lizzie McGuire Movie lol.
Wooo.

Yesterday I called into work sick and slept for about 20 hours. That was nice, but it didn't really help with the tiredness.

Lately I've been feeling like theres something important missing from my life. I like when people know who I am or know things I do or just generally appreciate me without necessarily knowing me well. So I feel like I should be doing something or contributing something. I haven't painted since June. I've drawn one proper piece since the end of the summer. I just don't have any inspiration or will anymore. I just don't see how I can be someone if this keeps happening.

I'm just fed up with everything right now. I don't care about anything at all. I don't even care that my 18th birthday is coming up. If you know me at all you'll know how big a deal my birthday has always been to me. Now I'm just like whatever.

I hate winter.

I can write essays well, I can describe scenes and talk myself up on university entrance statements, but I can't easily describe my dreams, or pinpoint exactly how I'm feeling. I am stuck on this next sentence because I don't know how to explain.

Its so frustrating.

I am right handed, and I wouldn't say I'm entirely ambidexterous, but I can do most regular activities with my left hand. I always just assumed that my level of ambidexterity was normal, but I've noticed that a lot of people I know find it difficult to text, type, cook, clean, brush their teeth, etc, using (primarily) their non-dominant hand, whereas I am entirely comfortable using my left hand for pretty much anything.

I can't write as quickly or as well with my left hand as I can using my right, but I can write legibly. I also discovered today that I can draw pretty much to exactly the same standard with both hands. It takes longer with my left, but you couldn't tell the difference.

Interesting, no? [:

Also I have officially dropped art, which is awesome. But my stupid art teacher lost my bloody paintings. She promised me they'll "turn up", but I'm not sure if I believe her.

Also I told one of my friends today that I want to be a tattoo artist, and her reaction was "Vanessa! Would you get your fucking life in order?!"
I wont lie, that hurt a little. I'm just not going to tell anyone that anymore. I'll tell them I'm doing physics in uni to shut them up, and that will be that.

I have to go to work tonight. I feel sick. Not fun.

And then a further three hours on both Thursday and Friday. What I don't understand is why they feel the need to steal the final three days of my precious summer when they could just call us in for one full day on Friday or something.

Its not that I dislike school, the first day is just always horrible, having to get used to waking up at a reasonable hour and looking groomed and proper and spending the greater part of the day in dull magnolia rooms. But it will be nice to see my friends again. And this is my last year, so I have to make the most of it.

I also have a formal to attend this year. I am not looking forward to that, because I have to buy a dress and find a date and be fancy. And there wont even be any alcohol.

Ps. IT IS MY BIRTHDAY IN 87 DAYS :D

I was up for about 24 hours straight yesterday, twelve of which were spent on aeroplanes. I got up at 5am today, giving me a grand total of five hours sleep. I feel a bit sick and clammy and my tummy hurts, but I'm not tired. I don't think my body understands how its supposed to feel sometimes.

It feels like I have so much energy now to just go out and do stuff and meet lots of new people and have fun. But I'm worried that I'll probably just disappoint myself after being in a big city and being able to do that kind of thing, because I don't think it'll work in Belfast. And school starts again in like three weeks, which kinda sucks.

I still have a painting to finish. Ugh.

I just don't have the drive or the sufficient daylight (or the sufficient artifical light).

I have been having extremely vivid dreams which give me mixed feelings. I have been changing my mind and I am worrying myself a little. I've lost all track of time. I don't know what day it is, and my body clock is about 5 hours behind. I haven't been sleeping well.

]]> ~littlepiggi http://littlepiggi.deviantart.com/journal/18894353/ http://littlepiggi.deviantart.com/journal/18894353/ Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:09:27 PDT I am so excited!!

My exams finish in two days, and my friend is coming over from Korea in two weeks. This weekend will be immense, and only a wonderful summer can follow.

Next year, school wont be so tough after dropping art as a subject, and so I might actually get some time to study more than two weeks before the exams start. And while everyone around me will be panicking about writing personal statements and visiting universities and deciding what offers to take, I will sit back and smile to myself, because I wont have that hassle. My life after school is going to be amazing.

In August/September next year, I am going to move to Tokyo for a year. I have been reading about living in Tokyo, and I have been watching lots of movies, and I am excited about moving out and having my own flat, but what is even better is that my first place will be in Japan.

After that, I may come home for a while. But not long after, I will be off again. France? Spain? Denmark? London? New York? Poland? Who knows?

However, I don't want to not try them at all. I'm just sort of reluctant to.

I want my art to be good enough for that. I want to be able to draw what I do without needing like fifty reference pics. Art is really my only talent, and I'm not doing it in school anymore, so I need to get busy if I want to be as good as I think I should be. _{Please don't leave comments saying that I am good and I don't need to improve, cause they won't make me feel better. I appreciate the thought, but I'd rather just have your support <3}

So. Things to expect from me over the summer:
+ lots of sketches of photographs;
+ portrait practise;
+ experimental colouring techniques;
+ more canvas work;
+ better quality scans! _{(completely unrelated, but I got a new scanner)};
+ experiments with new styles/genres of work;
+ backgrounds!

Expect this list to grow.
Any tips or suggestions or photos you think I should draw (etc) are more than welcome [:

I love the hula hoop game and the stepping game and the yoga. But the jogging is really hard D;

The yoga though is awesome. Apparently I'm really good at it ;D
I can actually feel my posture improving already :BB


I'm really into exercising at the minute. I've been walking home from school for the past 2 weeks or so, and yesterday I walked home from town (like 4 miles), and then went straight on to wiifit.

My cat had to be put down last november. Its understandable, she was older than I am. Obviously I miss her, as I'd had her my whole life, but she was one of my best friends. And now I don't have that sort of companionship, I'm actually feeling pretty lonely most of the time.

I had a driving lesson today, and when I came home, my neighbour's cat was sitting in my front garden. It was tame enough to let me approach it, and I sat with it for a few minutes before I ventured to pet it. So I spent about twenty minutes in the sunshine with this lovely cat, stroking it and scratching it and rubbing its tummy, and that was probably the happiest I've felt in recent months.


My mum wont let me get a new cat.

I know the colour wheel, I know how to mix most colours from the primarys and black & white, I know what looks good together and what clashes, I know what colours to add to create the effect of a different colour, but this is all just stuff I've picked up from painting etc. I want to learn concrete facts and I want to learn more.

2. Learn more about Grammar:
I know the basics, about syntax and punctuation and that sort of thing, but one of my Spanish teachers pointed out how we're not taught grammar here. I'm taught Spanish grammar, and it's difficult to understand certain things, because the best way the teacher (a native Spaniard) can explain it is to use her knowledge of grammar - about clauses and direct objects and passive voice and whatever else. So yes.

3. Learn more about linguistics in general:
See above point, plus I love language.

4. Learn lots about everything:
I've been watching QI a lot. There are some people who just know so many random pieces of information about everything. I want to be one of those people. Luckily, I have a QI book.

I think a trip to the bookshop is in order.

Now everything is boring and disappointing. I've fallen into r o u t i n e.

I need something exciting and wonderful to happen.

I'm just so tired of everything right now. School is too stressful and home is too negative and the few small things that were steadily pulling me through have all just started crumbling one by one.

I just feel like I want to give up completely.

I like art because its something that you can exponentially improve with. Like with most other things, theres a limit to how good you can be, but with art that limit doesn't exist.

I finished a picture today that I had drawn ages ago (will be submitted hopefully tomorrow), and it has quite a lot of similarities to my piece Breathe, in that I have pencil-shaded skin and a skeleton, and both have similar hair. This new piece is the first proper piece I have drawn in this style since Breathe, with no related practise in between, yet the improvements are exceedingly obvious.

I'm just hoping my scanner will be kind to it.

However, I update my livejournal almost daily, if you're interested.

Boxing day is better than Christmas.
Because my family has a huge ass party where everyone has a little too much to drink.

Last night was the best. I only got to sleep about 9am this morning, and that was only for about an hour. And I think I'm still a little tipsy. Whee.

* My mum decided to get my cat cremated. So now she's in a little wooden box in my front room. It creeps me out.

* Theres this one girl I encounter at school and the thing is, she looks so angry all the time. Okay, so I don't completely know whats happening in her life, but it cant be so bad that she cant crack a s m i l e every once in a while..

* I dont understand christmas decorations. Nativity scenes and stuff, yeah thats fine, but I dont understand trees and fairy lights. Fairy lights are too pretty to just have up for about a month per year.

* Someone once told me that theres this cycle most guitarists go through, in which they start off on acoustic guitar, and then get really enthusiastic about it and move on to electric. Then they get bored of it eventually a give up for a while. Then they eventually take it up again and get really really into it and obsessed with it until they get really good, at which point they go back to their acoustics.
I didn't believe them, but I've taken my guitar up seriously again, so I guess they were right.

* One of my friends has a boyfriend whos shes been with for years and right now hes just being a real moody asshole and she asks for my help and advice and stuff and I really want to know how to help. But I dont.

* Why is blonde hair dye always blue or purple?

Its interesting, for want of a better word, to discover how you cope in the face of the death of someone you love.
I, as anyone even slightly aquainted to my character could have guessed, have bottled up completely and have been physically unable to mention it to anyone.

The only people who know about it from me is anyone who reads my journals. Only two of whom have any access to physical real life contact with me.

Even when my sister comes to talk to me, upset and hugging me, I can do nothing more than silently pat her shoulder.
I can't even hug her back. I can't even tell her that I don't want it to happen either.

I wont even let myself cry about it when I'm alone.


I've started to think about my cat in the past tense, and I've been avoiding her, trying to get used to the fact that shes not going to be there anymore. But I have no memories of a life without her to base that on.
When anyone in school mentions her, I go on talking about her happily as if she isn't going to be murdered tomorrow.

Because thats what it is.
Murder.

And its not fair.

My dad just told my that my cat is going to be put down this wednesday.

She's been with my family for about 21 years.

Its not difficult to work out, then, that she is extremely old for a cat.
Or that she has been my pet for my whole life.

She's always been someone I could talk to when no one else would listen.

I don't know how I'm gonna handle this.

Or, indeed, if I can.

I know its the stupidest thing I could ever do.
I know I'll have to catch up on it all eventually.
And I know when that time comes I'll get so stressed and depressed to the point where I want to kill myself.

But nothing is better than the feeling of knowing all of this and knowing I don't care.

It all keeps happening to people around me. I'm right on the cusp of it all and theres nothing I can do to help.
Sometimes I wish that something could affect me directly. It would probably hurt me less than not being able to help the people I care about... cause watching my friends cry just tears me apart.

Things like Rainbow and Trumpton and stuff. And honestly, with that stuff fed down our brains, is it any wonder we're all so screwy these days?


On another note, if you want to be my friend, just have some guts and tell me properly. If you don't, stop acting like you do.
