That's never happened before!<br /><br />It wasn't a contest on here. It was for one of my favorite performers, Blake Lewis. (If you don't know who he is, he was the beatboxing dude that was runner-up to Jordin Sparks on season 6 of American Idol. And he is AMAZING.) When I heard it was an art contest I was already in no matter what, but what made it even cooler was that he was picking the winners. <br /><br />His new album is called "Heartbreak on Vinyl." And the contest was to create something that represents those words. (I uploaded my entry here today as a deviation. I held off uploading it here because it had to be anonymous until the winners were picked). So long story short, there was 2 winners and I was one of them. I found out yesterday when I was having a realllly crappy day and it made me feel so much better <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Now the not fun stuff - my Grampa had a bump removed from his face that they tested and said was skin cancer. So they cut it all out and said they got everything. Now he's doing 10 days of radiation starting on the 30th, because they have to make sure it doesn't come back. They cut down to the bone and it'd really mess his face up if it comes back and they have to cut more out. So keep him in your prayers guys! He's tough, he already beat colon cancer. He'll be okay <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> When will someone find a cure for this damn disease? Seriously! I know far too many people who have been affected by it, plus both my grandparents. I just wish that one day thy'll be like "whoa guys we found a cure! No more cancer!"<br /><br /><div class="example-footer"> </div></div></div> ]]></description>

I knew him because the two of them babysat me sometimes when I was little, but a while back he moved away and they grew apart. My Mom actually babysat him and my uncle when they were kids, and he came over when she passed away and everything. Well come to find out, he is a tattoo artist now. Weird how things in life come together, huh? A couple days ago he asked me to draw some stuff for him. He wants to open a shop of his own soon and, um, yeah, AWESOME? I get to go watch him do a sleeve in a couple weeks and learn some pointers. The only sucky thing is he is kinda far away but he's looking to open a place closer around here. And you wanna know the REALLY cool thing? I'm gonna be able to get free tattoos. This is either very good or very bad. I'm gonna be covered lol. I so feel like it's cheating on my tattoo artist LOL but hey, times are tough, free is better than paying! And no I'm not an idiot, I wouldn't go to him if he sucked. He did one for my uncle yesterday and I like how it came out so I'm figuring out what I want to do for my next one. I'm so hoping and praying that he's able to find a place to open his own shop because if I was able to work there it would be a dream come true. I always thought it would be perfect if I could get in with a group of people when they FIRST open a shop because, and anyone who watches LA Ink will know what I'm talking about, it's so awkward and hard to find your nitch in a place where the artists are already like a tight-knit family. So I will keep you guys updated and keep my fingers crossed that things will go right for me for once in my life! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><div class="example-footer"> </div></div></div> ]]></description>

Because thinking back to when they broke up, I was literally fucking crushed over it. It was so good to see them being silly together again. I was sitting there thinking "aw this is the first time I'm seeing them without Mom" before blink started. And you know how they play music over the speakers during set changes? "Unforgiven" by Metallica came on randomly and shut off. I was like "oh yeah Mama's here in spirit!" lol<br /><br />I wish I had been a bit closer. But they did shoot out guitar picks, so I got one and then realized on the way home that I had another down my bra LOL. <br /><br />Panic! At the Disco were good live. Fall Out Boy were better than last time. And then it got SOOOOO loud for blink!<br /><br />Travis always has crazy drum solos but man oh man, this was insane! I don't wanna ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet and is going to an upcoming show, but I have a video (I will post my vid links at the end so if you don't want to see, don't watch!) I ended up taking so many vids that I don't have the patience to upload them all. So far I just did Travis's solo, FOB's version of "Don't Stop Believin'" (Brendon sang with them) and "First Date" because Tom kept giggling, and changed the words so he kept saying "fart" in the lyrics. lmao I was laughing so much at their between-song banter, it was great! Oh and there were 2 guys in the crowd dressed as bananas, and they made sure to point them out when they played "What's My Age Again" So anywho, a few pics...<br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/blink%20182%208%206%2009/DSC05196.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/blink%20182%208%206%2009/DSC05187.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/blink%20182%208%206%2009/DSC05185.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/blink%20182%208%206%2009/DSC05170.jpg"><br /><br />and videos...<br />Don't Stop Believin':<br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDainbA6fkQ">[link]</a><br /><br />First Date:<br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSWSWzZ6B-w">[link]</a><br /><br />Drum Solo:<br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWTVXN4KwF8">[link]</a><br /><br /><div class="example-footer"> </div></img></img></img></img></div></div> ]]></description>

As always. I'm 5 for 5 now with seeing them and being front row! I strongly suggest that everyone should see them live, at least once, because you will never forget it. I swear they get better everytime. I love those guys.<br /><br />They changed a few things from what they usually do at their shows, but it was still crazy and entertaining and fun as hell! My arms are all bruised from holding onto the barricade all night but I was not about to let anyone shove me out of my spot! The GA Floor setup was actually really organized. We were in a seperate line outside, which they wouldn't let us in until they saw that we actually had floor tickets. And once we were inside and after The Bravery played and Green Day came on, there still weren't that many people in the pit. Half the floor was pit, half the floor was seats and there was a barricade in front of the seats. Billie Joe told more people to come down because there weren't enough <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> that's when I started getting banged around but it's alright, it's sooooo worth it! He had a toilet paper gun that he shot at us instead of the Super Soaker (which he had, but put it away) and yes, I grabbed some toilet paper. LOL it is on my concert posterboard with all my pics and memorabillia from the shows I've been to. So yes, it was a fun night and I can't wait till next time they come around!<br /><br /><div class="example-footer"> </div></div></div> ]]></description>

Now go check this out: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://katvond.net/fanart.php">[link]</a> and click on the 3rd row of fanart, the 12th one down. Woohoo, I'm on the 1st page! At least now I know she didn't lose it after I gave it to her, and she took the time to put it up there which is pretty sweet <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Today is the one-year anniversary of my Mom's passing. I cannot even believe that it's been a year. I'm trying not to be down about it. If someone had told me a year ago yesterday that I would lose my Mom the next day but things would be okay, I wouldn't have believed it. I still miss her like crazy, yeah - there's not a day that goes by where something doesn't remind me of her, or I don't think about her, and there's still nights that I cry myself to sleep. But the world works in mysterious ways. It's not something you ever truly get over, but you can recover from things more than you know. When it first happened, there was nothing that anyone could say to me to make me feel any better. But now I know that it does get better, and I want all you guys to know that if you ever lose someone, it may seem like the end of the world at first but it will be okay in the end, because that person will always be with you <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><div class="example-footer"> </div></div></div> ]]></description>

I've been so makeup-obsessed lately that I've been thinking about makeup artistry. I've always loved makeup but recently I've been watching loads of tutorials on youtube and figured I could start making my own, so I might do that. If you get enough views and subscribers you can become a partner and even make some money off of it so that's not a bad thing! I went to Target yesterday to get one of those plastic storage things with drawers to try and organize all my makeup better...it was working until I ran out of room and had to start shoving stuff into the drawers anyway...I should have bought 2 of them!<br /><br />Anyway, I've been thinking I would love doing makeup for people but I've never done it on anyone else, I imagine it's a little different than doing it on your own face. But how am I going to make a living off that unless I move to like, Hollywood (movies!) or NY (modeling/runway shows!)? I would really like to do special effects makeup too, like blood and gore stuff. *sigh* maybe I can be a tattoo artist/makeup artist. I want to do both!!<br /><br /><div class="example-footer"> </div></div></div> ]]></description>

Yes kids, my favoritest band EVER! All the times I've seen them, I've always been front row. I'll fight anyone that tries to take my spot, that's how passionate I am about my Green Day lol. Speaking of, go buy their new album, it's out today. "21st Century Breakdown!"<br /><br />Secondly, my second favoritest band ever, blink-182, announced dates. They will be here August 6th. You can bet your ass I'll go to that one too. Just bummed that they're playing the Comcast Center, I hate that place.<br /><br />And then there's vacation - I still can't decide if I want to do Cali or Vegas. Either one will be a blast, but I don't know what one to pick!!!<br /><br /><div class="example-footer"> </div></div></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ New Found Glory's always so much fun to see live. The other bands that played were Fireworks, Set Your Goals and Bayside. <br /><br />When NFG started, it was okay until a guy decided he was going to climb the rail and try to jump into the crowd. He ended up kicking Carissa in the shoulder and me in the shin, and he didn't even get far cause he fell backwards on the ground and we just looked at him LOL. It was pretty amusing. I don't get why people have to act like asses. Just go and enjoy the show! But I guess then I wouldn't have any funny stories to tell afterwards. At one point Jordan started singing "Big Poppa" by Notorious B.I.G. and it's so funny because that song was playing in the car on the ride home - I haven't heard it in years! Silly coincidence!<br /><br />I'm so glad my camera picks up kickass sound - and doesn't pick up my singing. I had no voice afterward cause I sang to every song lol!<br /><br />Pictures:<br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04671.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04671.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04673.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04673.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04676.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04676.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04677.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04677.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04679.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04679.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04683.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04683.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04685.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04685.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04686.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04686.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04688.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04688.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04689.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04689.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?action=view&amp;current><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />SC04690.jpg"<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/DSC04690.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%204%2030%2009/?act... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I am pretty sure I'm going to either California, Vegas, or both this summer. I'm aiming for the end of July, around my bday. Can I afford it? No. Do I want to go out there? Yes! But I'll have a tour guide in my friend Jenn, so I won't be wandering aimlessly about wondering what trouble I can get myself into. She's living in Cali now but she lived in Vegas for a while and wants to show me around out there too. Now I really AM going to have to get over my fear of flying!<br /><br />I was supposed to go to Florida next month with my friend Carissa to visit her sis. But the way work is, we don't get our vacation time for the year renewed until our original hire date. I think mine is either June or July - so I have no vacation time until then. If I went for a week and lost all that time without pay (which is stupid and I wouldn't do it anyway), it'd end up messing with my insurance and everything, so I'm stuck here. That's what brought on the urge to go somewhere even farther away because I've been wanting to go to California for ages. My Mom and I always said we were going to take a vacation there (she always wanted to move out there, actually) and I feel like I need to go out there for a visit so I can accomplish something she never got to do. Who knows, I may love it and never come back! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am so super happy right now, nothing can kill my mood! So I'll type my story and then hopefully upload the video tomorrow sometime when I'm not half asleep. <br /><br />So Carissa and I got to the mall at about 12:30 or so. There were hardly any people in line at Barnes & Noble, and we asked about wristbands but the lady said they'd start giving them out at 4pm. We went to go eat (Cheesecake Factory!) and then went back and got in line around 1:30. And waited and waited and waited...but it actually passed by pretty fast. They gave out wristbands at 4pm like they said they were gonna, then around 5pm they started passing a blank sketchbook around that Kat wanted everyone to write a little something in. I don't really remember what I wrote, something thanking her for being such an inspiration to me and that I hope she can tattoo me someday lol. Then the line started moving around 6:15 and by this point I was so nervous, and really had to pee, and was praying I wouldn't pee my pants from excitement LOL. They had her in the Starbucks right next to the bookstore, I guess because it was smaller and it was better blocked off than the bookstore itself, because people had been going in there trying to go see her the whole time she was there lol. They let about 5 of us through at a time, and it went pretty quickly.<br /><br />I tried taking pictures while I was in line, but honestly, my hand was shaking so much they came out like shit. That was when I gave the camera to Carissa so she could just videotape it lol. So when it was finally my turn and I was trying to be calm, Kat said hi and shook my hand and I gave her the drawing I did for her. And she didn't just like, take it and put it on the floor or something like I figured she would because it was being so rushed, she actually took a good look at it and said it was awesome, and then she frigging told me to write my email address on the back! Um, psyched much? Yes! haha and then you'll see it in the video when I upload it, she's like "You rule. You rule!" And then the guy that was there helping, he'd been holding the picture while I put my email on the back, and he went to give it back to me and she's like "No no that's for me!" lol So all in all, such a great night. I couldn't have asked for that to go any better. Oh yeah, and I didn't pee myself! lmao!<br /><br />Until I get the vid uploaded to youtube, here's some pics:<br />Shaking her hand...<br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v489/riotgirl182/Meeting%20Kat%20Von%20D/?action=view&current=meetingkat1.jpg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/riotgirl182/Meeting%20Kat%20Von%20D/meetingkat1.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br />telling me to put my email on the back of it...<br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v489/riotgirl182/Meeting%20Kat%20Von%20D/?action=view&current=meetingkat11.jpg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/riotgirl182/Meeting%20Kat%20Von%20D/meetingkat11.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br />I don't know what this is...I think I was giving her the marker back lol<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v489/riotgirl182/Meeting%20Kat%20Von%20D/?action=view&current=meetingkat8.jpg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/riotgirl182/Meeting%20Kat%20Von%20D/meetingkat8.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div></a></a></a> ]]></description>

I came up with the genius idea of having my friend take my camera and record me giving it to her so I can have my freak-out moment documented forever on youtube or wherever I upload it LOL. I will definitely share my story when I get back. We're leaving at noon and the signing's not till 6pm, so I have a long day of waiting ahead of me tomorrow. Better try and go get some sleep...<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ BLINK IS BACK!!!!!<br /><br />At the Grammys last night, blink-182 presented the award for best rock album together, and said they are going to make music again. Anyone that knows me knows how happy I am!!! Their official site says they're recording an album and are set to tour this summer. And I'm already set to take the day off work to order tickets cause those are gonna sell out SO fast!!! Wheeeee!<br /><br />In other news, I have dedicated myself to trying to draw more portraits. They are the hardest thing for me, always have been. But...practice practice practice! I am working on the Kat Von D one to give to her and I am also working on a "Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job" drawing. I was inspired to draw something to do with them after I saw them last weekend, so that's beng worked on too.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Here's the deal: Kat Von D's book just came out, and she is on a signing tour for it - and the last stop is Boston, on March 18th. I am going and I want to bring her some sort of artwork, because she has been such a huge influence on me and then I can tell everyone Kat owns something that I drew <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br />I have one question: has anyone on here ever been to a book signing? I have no idea how early to get there. It is from 6pm-8pm so she can only sign so many in 2 hours. I want to make sure I get in, dammit! I'm praying it won't be freezing outside because if we have to wait a long time, it's going to suck. I'm hoping it's something where you show up and they give you a wrist band or someting, then you come back when it's time for the signing? I doubt it though, nothing's ever that easy lol. <br /><br />I started drawing her face in a lightning bolt, to go along with the "High Voltage" theme of the book. I'm going to add her cat Ludwig and roses and stuff around it too. It's going to take me a while to finish but I'll be sure to put it up here when it's done.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ That's what I had to do Sunday night at Metallica - lots of deep breaths so I wouldn't cry! I was worried they'd cancel it or I wouldn't make it, because it snowed ALL day. But we managed to get there because it stopped snowing and the highways were clear. <br /><br />The first 2 bands sucked. I fought off the first emotions when we actually sat down, cause we were so close to the stage and I was missing my Mom not being there, but I was okay. Pretty weird though that the day after the show marked exactly 6 months since she passed away. I do have to say, that having seats on the floor is a brilliant idea, because it was so amazing not having someone up my ass all night. I think that we might have been the only show that didn't have a GA floor though, because someone on their message board was saying it's cause of them having pyro and because of the Station fire with Great White and everything happening not too far from us. So I dunno, but every damn show should be set up like that if you ask me!<br /><br />The opening bands were The Sword and Machine Head. Bleh...so not into either of them. It just sounded like noise to me cause all the songs sounded alike and you couldn't make out the singers over their screeching guitars. <br /><br />So when it came time for Metallica to come out, we happened to be at the corner where they come through to go up the stage stairs (the concert was in the round, so the stage was a big circle in the middle) and the lights were all out but we saw them coming over because we were right there. And that's when round 2 of the sadness hit me, especially cause Jamez was right there laughing with the sound guy and my Mom loved him, so she would have freaked! Every break that they had, Kirk and Lars would come down behind their equipment boxes, so that was pretty funny. I saw Lars change his shirt and Kirk blow his nose LOL. They had a really cool stage set, cause they had these crazy green lazers going, and their lighting rigs were 4 big coffins that kept moving around. But then they looked like they were all out of whack kinda just hanging there, and the guys were looking up at them like "what the hell?" lol after that they went back up to the top of the ceiling and didn't move around for the rest of the night.<br /><br />Then, what I KNEW was coming - Kirk did his little solo and it turned into the beginning of Nothing Else Matters. Had to fight back the tears again! Funny thing is, there were at least 6 microphones on the stage - one at each corner, and one on either side - that Jamez kept going around to back and forth during every song so that everyone could see. But for that damn song, he sang the entire thing at the microphone that was at our corner of the stage. I was just thinking "damn you, you're trying to make me cry!" lol Then, for the last song (Seek and Destroy) they turned on all the lights and dropped huge black Metallica beach balls, so that was funny. I got whacked in the head with one and my glasses fell off LOL. And, to top it all off, I got a guitar pick - I dunno if it's Jamez's or Kirk's cause they chucked handfuls of them, but I'm a happy camper :] Plus I got a free download of the entire show (mp3's) off LiveMetallica.com because it came with the tickets - woohoo!<br /><br />And then of course, when we got out of there, it was snowing like a bastard again and we didn't get home till 2:30. And we had to be at work for 8:00 - not fun. <br /><br />I managed to get some crappy pics on my phone since cameras weren't allowed, so here they are:<br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/?action=view&current=1.jpg"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/1.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/?action=view&current=4.jpg"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/4.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/?action=view&current=5.jpg"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/5.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/?action=view&current=6.jpg"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/6.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/?action=view&current=8.jpg"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/8.jpg" alt="Photobucket"></img><br /><br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/?action=view&current=9.jpg"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Metallica%201%2018%2009/9.jpg" alt="Photobucket"><... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...and I hope it's a hell of a lot better than 2008 was!<br /><br />I hope that all of you had a great holiday season! My Christmas was good, a little sad of course, but it was good. I think santa felt bad for us because my brother got a car and I got new tires, shocks, a lift kit, interior stuff (all Nightmare Before Christmas!), and speakers for my Jeep. It's massive now -I actually need to use the step on the side to get into it, I never had to before lol<br /><br />New Year's was pretty boring - we had a snowstorm so no one felt like doing anything. I just watched the ball fall, watched The Twilight Zone, and went to bed.<br /><br />I am pretty excited about this month because on the 18th is the Metallica show (I REALLY need to figure out how to sneak my camera in - front row, come on!) And on the 31st I am going to see Tim and Eric (they have that show "Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job" on Adult Swim) - I find them hysterical even though everyone I tell to check out the show calls me retarded for liking it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> Oh well, it will give me a good laugh seeing them live, that's for sure! I showed my Nanny some of their skits the other day because she wanted to know what I was so excited about when I got the tickets, and she was like "this looks like crap you and your brother come up with" <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> We used to make stupid videos all the time, and it's pretty much our sense of humor so I guess that's why. So I am pretty excited about that, will DEFINITELY have pictures to share from that show, even if no one knows who they are lol<br /><br />Has anyone else noticed the lack of good music around lately? Aside from Good Charlotte's "Greatest Remixes" cd, I really haven't bought an actual cd in a while. That cd, by the way, is the shiz. I love "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl" even better than the original version! It's so cute hearing Joel trying the gangsta thing lol. I always hate remix cds, but they actually put work into the songs and re-did a lot of lyrics and totally changed stuff instead of just putting all the songs to some lame techno beat. And there's a few new songs on it too, so definitely worth checking out! Other than that, I've been putting loads of old school songs on my mp3 player instead. It started with me reminiscing about being little and hanging with my Mom hearing certain songs on the radio, and then just turned into me getting songs together that reminded me of her alltogether. So I made an amazing mix cd I've been jamming to all week:<br /><br />"Cowboy Song" by Thin Lizzy<br />"The Joker" by the Steve Miller Band<br />"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor<br />"Hotel California" by The Eagles<br />"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas<br />"Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison<br />"I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meatloaf<br />"What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes<br />"Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd<br />"Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi<br />"Space Oddity" by David Bowie<br />"Nightrain" by Guns N' Roses<br />"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" by Metallica<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So much randomness to talk about seeing as how I haven't posted in a while. <br /><br />I logged onto myspace the other day to see a COMMENT from BLAKE on my page!!! Turns out my friend asked him if he could leave me something to cheer me up for the holidays, he asked her to send him my page, and he did. I've been psyched over that since I saw it on Friday lol. He is so fucking awesome! Check it out:<br /><a href="http://i36.tinypic.com/im2bdt.png">[link]</a><br />(my layout right now is all Labyrinth themed, that's why he said that) haha spelled it wrong, but oh well. <br /><br />Carissa cut a bunch of my hair (feels so much lighter!) and it now has pink, yellow and orange in it. I wanted sunshine colors! That must have come from me hating the dreary weather lately, cause I wanted to be super bright lol. Picture:<br />img src="http://i33.tinypic.com/1zpkyt2.jpg<br /><br />Today was my Mom's b-day...I've been staying busy to try not and get too bummed over it. Last night was the bad part, because I always used to go jump on her bed and make her open her present as soon as it turned midnight lol. So tonight I'm gonna watch Rock Star and The Pick of Destiny - those were our movies and I haven't been able to watch them since she died. I think I'll make it a tradition though, I'll watch those every year on her birthday.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been a while, so I will probably blab on about random things here...<br /><br />Twilight was a good movie, but it felt so rushed. I think it was just because I liked the book so much. It was like things just happened in 5 minutes that took a few pages of reading to get through, so it went by so fast. I can't wait for them to make the second one, I'm anxious to see what they'll do with Jacob/the wolves/the Volturi.<br /><br />I'm feeling like crap right now, I have all week...but it's given me time to get some art worked on that I've been putting off. That is always a good thing.<br /><br />I decorated for Christmas right after Thanksgiving. We got a new tree that's pre-lighted, so I was happy about not having to mess with lights this year. It's white, cause for some reason I wanted a white tree - we bought a ton of new colorful balls for the tree and it just made sense to have the white to make them pop more. And I found an angel piggy ornament to put up in memory of my Mom (pigs were here favorite and she collected everything pig-related!)<br /><br />Thanksgiving was okay, ate too much, etc. etc. I fell asleep after we ate because I was so full lol<br /><br />I have most of my xmas shopping done but now I have to sit down and make out all my cards...it's amazing how many I send out every year and only get like, a third of that amount back. So this year, screw it - I'm only going to send them to the people I talk to a lot. If someone else sends me one, then I can always mail another one out. I don't have time to make out assloads of cards anyway!<br /><br />And with that, I am going to go be lazy and watch a movie or something. Look for new stuff to be uploaded soon - as soon as I'm feeling better, I'll have the patience to scan stuff!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am so sleep-deprived this week. Monday night was Blake's show in Boston and we got soooo lost going there. Well not getting there, just FINDING the place. I hate Boston! We parked way up the street and even walked by it cause we couldn't find it. Seriously, hole-in-the-wall bar, and I'm so happy I looked up and was like "it's right there, dammit!" haha<br /><br />Carlotta, the 1st band, were playing their last song so I didn't miss anything. Blake's band started setting up and then I turned and he was RIGHT THERE. And I was spazzing going "Carissa! He's right there!" lmao and I chickened out and didn't go say anything. wtf is wrong with me? I must have looked like an excited idiot cause I got lots of eye contact during the show <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> - there were probably like, 40 people in there. So not fair, he should have way more people listening to him. He's great live, I love him. Anywho...<br />VIDS:<br />What'cha Got 2 Lose/Surrender:<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C2v232v0oY">[link]</a><br /><br />Choose Noise/Message in a Bottle/Love Song:<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2sMpy5iuVYI">[link]</a> <br /><br />Love or Torture: (new song!!)<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDFJJVieFJo">[link]</a><br /><br />You Give Love a Bad Name: (1st chorus, during "and you play your game," totally points at me! lol)<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQUm2IcnPYw">[link]</a><br /><br />I'll put up some pictures too, I have way too many to post them all lol.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ NFG were amazing on Sunday, as they always are. Those guys put so much energy into their shows. It must have been 100 degrees in that damn club, it was so hot. But other than that, it was a great time. They also played the 2nd slot, as "The International Superheroes of Hardcore" - for anyone who doesn't know, it's just NFG wearing masks, with Chad singing and Jordan playing guitar lol. But I found it amusing how many people I could hear going "who is that?" lol! Like the little red masks are actually fooling everyone. Anyway, just to share the wealth:<br />My pics from the show are here:<br /><a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/NFG%2092808/">[link]</a><br /><br />And videos:<br />All Downhill From Here:<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPL1pAIazUI">[link]</a><br /><br />2's & 3's:<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLns9NP8F-k">[link]</a><br /><br />Encore:<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYzlGLfKr8A">[link]</a><br /><br />Talking like James from Metallica/Intro/My Friends Over You:<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAqkMoTUwo8">[link]</a><br /><br />In other news, I finally spoke to a lawyer about handling my Mom's bills and everything. There's one collection agency that is really harassing me, and it's getting annoying because they're completely ignoring the fact that I told them she passed away, not only telling them once but twice. So this was the best option, to hire him. It's going to cost $700, but in the longrun it's better because now I won't have to pay the $4,000 worth of hospital bills that were also in her name. He's after the autopsy report and death certificate now too, which is a good thing because I've really reached the limit with having to wait to find out what happened to my Mom. No one should have to wait this long with so many unanswered questions. I'll keep updating on the situation <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Blake's tour got cut short. They cancelled a bunch of dates. Luckily, my Boston one is still on but no providence <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> He has horrible luck with his promoting and stuff...I don't get how you get to the top 2 on AI with millions of votes, and then everyone just forgets afterward. His cd is seriously amazing and it's not getting any airplay or promotion whatsoever. You have all this shitty music, shitty artists on the radio that get picked up, why not him? I really hope when he signs with the new label and management that they take care of his career the right way. If not, I'll have to step in and do it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br />And more sad news this morning, Travis Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein were in a plane crash. Travis's assistant, bodyguard, another guy that was on the plane, and the 2 pilots died. They're saying Travis and Adam saved themselves by jumping out and putting out their burning clothes. The only news I saw was that they were in critical condition, but then I just saw an update that Travis was burned from the waste down and expected to recover, but Adam's face is burned. I hope that they'll both be okay, that's such horrible news. Is it bad that the first thing I thought was "omg pleeeease let Mark and Tom go visit Travis!" Maybe something good will come of the whole thing "near death experience causes band to realize how dumb they were being and get back together!"<br /><br />I picked up some watercolor pencils today. So I assure you there'll be some new art up here, I've never played with those before lol. Should be interesting. While I was at the art store though, I was looking at a lot of the "how-to" books and a few were actually horrible. They had a "how to draw pets" one and the drawings looked like a 6 year old did them. The shading was atrocious. How do you get a book published when it's that awful? Let alone a "how-to" book showing others how to draw! It made me laugh lol.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I managed to get front row tickets for Metallica. Insane. It's not till January, but I'm looking forward to it. So I wanted to be a jerk and buy an extra few to sell and make money off of, but they're so sneaky that they made all the tickets "will-call," so I can't get them till the night of the show. Ah well, can't blame them for being smart thinkers lol. Oh, speaking of shows, the wonderful Blake Lewis finally announced a tour and I'm going to 2 of the shows since they're close enough. Haha don't worry guys, I'll try to contain myself if I meet him. Even though inside I'll be thinking "OMFG IT'S BLAKE!"<br /><br />and to go with this entry, I've been tagged by: <a href="http://melanieaddams.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/e/melanieaddams.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmelanieaddams:" title="melanieaddams"/></a><br /><br />Choose a singer/band/group.<br />Answer using ONLY titles of songs by that singer/band/group.<br />Tag 6 more people to do so and let them know they've been tagged, of course.<br /><br />I choose: Metallica<br /><br />Describe yourself.<br />Hero of the Day<br /><br />What do people feel when they're around you?<br />Better Than You<br /><br />How would you describe your previous relationship?<br />Frantic<br /><br />Describe your current relationship<br />One (haha)<br /><br />Where would you want to be now?<br />Where the Wild Things Are<br /><br />What's your life like?<br />Sanitarium<br /><br />What would you ask for if you had only one wish?<br />Mama Said (none of the song titles really go with this question lol)<br /><br />Say something wise.<br />Nothing Else Matters<br /><br />I tag whoever feels like doing it!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry I've been absent from here for so long. I'm so exhausted lately I don't even feel like getting online. Wow, right? that's odd for me!<br /><br />My Nanny pulled through her mastectomy and is home recovering now. She had all the nurses laughing when she was at the hospital, which is a good thing lol. She said something about being a "one-boobed wonder" when she woke up. We're just waiting on the pathology reports to make sure it didn't spread. Fingers crossed for good news, cause I can't take any more of the bad!<br /><br />Well the 15th and 22nd were my 2 Good Charlotte concerts and let me tell you, as if I didn't love them to pieces before, I do even more now because they managed to help cheer me up so much. <br /><br />Alright so the first night (the 15th), we got there late and since it was general admission, we ended up having to sit in the seats cause the place was so packed. It was still a good time though, The Maine were first, then Metro Station (who were a lot of fun by the way) and then GC. They always put on such a great show, I love them! We left before Boys Like Girls because we were starving LOL.<br /><br />The 2nd night, which was this past Friday, I got all psyched cause I heard Joel was dj-ing an afterparty up the street because it was the last show of the tour. I felt like such an ass when we found out not only did you need tickets to get in, but you needed to be dressed up LMAO. I'd never gone to one of those things before, how was I supposed to know? The damn dj on the radio didn't say anything about it other than that it was after the concert! There was no way I was gonna get dressed up to go to a concert just so I'd be ready for the afterparty! So that was a letdown. As was the fact that Joel and Nicole were walking around the mall before the show, and I didn't think to go there even though Joel's said how he loves the Providence Place Mall before. My mind was not with me I guess lol. But the show itself was a lot of fun. Some guy opened, I forgot his name, but his set was all acoustic and every song sounded the same. Then The Maine played, and my friend felt like she was gonna pass out so we moved off the floor. It was like 100 degrees in that club and there were way too many people! I couldn't see Metro Station at all this time cause some big lanky dude pushed in front of me. So when they were done, we moved to the bar and had a clear view of everything cause it was up on a platform. The only downside to that was the bartender kept getting in the way of my videos haha. GC started and they played some different songs than they had the week before. By the end I was sweaty and gross but felt so much better than I have felt for quite some time now. I don't care how much crap they get from people about how they've changed or who they date, I've been a fan too long and they've been too awesome to me to ever turn my back on them. Fan for life, yo! lol<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Dear Metallica,<br />Not only were you my Mom's favorite band, so much so that I got your lyrics engraved on her urn, but you just announced tour dates today when you haven't toured here in what, 4 years? And your new cd just happens to have a coffin on the cover. Scary.<br /><br />Anyway...<br />I started crying thinking that I'm going to see them without my Mom. I don't know when tickets go on sale, but I still have her fanclub account so I'm going to get the presale tix like we always did. Their fanclub tix are always silver and sparkly and pretty! I remember the first time we went together, and we had gone to sit in the seats that were printed on the tickets. They weren't bad seats, but they were on the side of the stage. Then some of the people that worked there came over and told us to go on the floor cause we had the fanclub tickets. I got so sunburned and hot that day but it was so much fun! So my best friend is going to be introduced to her first Metallica show, and probably have to console me if I start bawling lol. That crap I said about me never crying in front of people? That's pretty much gone down the toilet these past few weeks. I keep having dreams about my Mom that aren't necessarily sad, but when I wake up I'm sad because they seem so real. The most reoccurring one is that she's just there with me, talking, and people are telling me she's dead when she's right there talking to me and she's like "What? Shut up!" to all of them lol. You don't need to be a shrink to figure out that it's obviously because it happened so fast and unexpectedly, and was so hard to believe and process that I'm having dreams like that. It actually still doesn't seem real. I'm alright some days and other days it just hits me and really hurts a lot. <br /><br />Speaking of shows and happier things though, GC is coming up on Friday. Kind of excited for that, it'll help take me away for a few hours anyway lol. And then next Friday too, cause they added a club date at Lupos. I so wanted to just go to as many east coast shows as possible. I wish I wasn't so broke. I was telling my friend that I want to get a 2nd job and just save all the money from it to follow them on tour. As much of a waste of needed money as that would be, I think it would be pretty damn fun! Maybe someday I can be like, their tattoo artist that travels with them. Then they'll pay me to be there. haha we can all have dreams, right?!<br /><br />On Saturday I am getting that tattoo that I was talking about. The one with the rose and skull that says "Mama" underneath. I'm really excited about it!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Last night when I was watching "The Two Coreys," and crying of course cause that was a show me and my Mom loved to watch together, something really weird but comforting happened. I have this Nightmare Before Christmas clock that she gave me for Christmas a few years ago. It's got a pendulum that's Jack's legs, but it's broken because Puss knocked it off the wall a few days after I got it. For some reason, while I was watching the tv I looked up at the clock and it was swinging back and forth. Not much, just slowly back and forth. but it's been broken for ages! It just made me feel better :]<br /><br />We got a bunch of flowers today. One arrangement was from my Mom's aunt, and the other was from some of the people my Mom worked with. The living room smells like flowers now. I'll have to post some pics, they're really pretty.<br /><br />We have to bring in my Mom's clothes and stuff to the funeral home tomorrow. And the lady called today and said if there's anything we want to put in with her, we can do that. So far I put a picture of Puss because she was crazy about that damn cat, my brother put a little snowman toy, and my Nanny put a little ceramic pig. I think I'm going to add a picture of Fred and Maggie too. <br /><br />The urn is black and gold. We're getting roses engraved on it and it's going to say:<br />"So close, no matter how far<br />Couldn't be much more from the heart<br />Forever, trusting who we are<br />And nothing else matters"<br /><br />You know I had to put something Metallica on it. I'm bummed that she's not going to get to hear their new cd. I'm going to blast it for her the day it comes out :] And probably see them on tour and bawl when they play that song. I always made fun when I see live shows on tv where people are crying in the audience. I was always like "why are you sad? be happy!" but now I get it. Some things just hit you a certain way and you can't help it. Especially when it's a song that means something to you.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It seems kind of assinine to be posting online but I can't sit still. I don't even know what's going on, it's like I'm in a bad dream that I can't wake up from.<br /><br />My Mom wasn't feeling good yesterday. It was insanely hot and it was just like one of those "I feel sick because of this weather" deals. She had to walk down to 7-11 to get cigarettes, just had to, and didn't let me know so I could drive her there or go with her or something. When she got back she went upstairs and said something to my brother about taking out trash. When he went back up, she was passed out on her bed. He came to get me to help and we were trying to throw water on her and wake her up. I was so scared, her lips were turning blue and I couldn't feel her pulse. My Nanny called 911 and when they got there they could feel a weak pulse. They wouldn't let me ride in the ambulance so my uncle drove me and my brother to the hospital. When we got there, the lady put us in the "family room" and a doctor came in a few minutes later to tell us "she's very sick" and that she hadn't had a heartbeat or pulse for 30 minutes but they were still trying. And he came back in and said she died. Typing this now, I still can't believe that this is happening. My brother and I wanted to see her, and in the longrun I don't know if it was a good or bad idea. She had a tube down her throat and she was all cold. They gave me her jewelry and the clothes they had to cut off. Me and my brother said goodbye and they more or less told us to call a funeral home, said because of her age and the circumstances that the medical examiner would want to see her, and told us to leave. Nice, huh? We don't know what happened. Bad hearts run in my family and my Mom hasn't been to the doctor in years, so that's our only guess.<br /><br />I am not supposed to have to deal with this right now. My brother shouldn't have to. My grandma shouldn't have to. We find out she has cancer, and then my Mom dies all of a sudden? If there is a God, why does this happen? My family are good people. We've never done anything bad to anyone. Yet we've all been shit on our entire lives. It's really hard to keep faith when everything bad seems to happen to you. I always believed that things happen for a reason, but not anymore. What was the reason for this? My Mom's never gonna see me get married or be successful or anything that me and my brother do for the rest of our lives. She was my best friend, I told her everything - you're not supposed to lose your Mom when you're only 23 years old! <br /><br />I feel so terrible. She always said that she never wanted an autopsy. I'm just like her in the way that we'd always watch gross stuff together. We watched an autopsy once, and she said how horrible it was and she never wanted that and now she has to have one. And I wish I'd never seen that because I know how it's done! We have to make funeral arrangements tomorrow. I cannot handle this. I know that she didn't want to be buried. She's going to be cremated. I want the urn so that she can be home with us, and should I move, she can come with me. <br /><br />I know that we'll get through this, because you have to move on when things like this happen, but it's going to take a LONG time to get used to. I never even thought about what would happen when she was gone. I thought we had a long way to go before we had to worry about that. I always thought she'd be an old lady in bed, knowing that her time was coming so that we could say goodbye properly. I just feel so empty.<br /><br />I don't know how I'm going to sleep. Everytime I close my eyes, I just see her laying there. She used to joke when we'd watch Ghost Hunters and say when she died, she'd come back and haunt me to let me know she was here. Mom, where are you now? I need you!<br /><br />We went this morning to the funeral home. I was crying all night so I had calmed down a bit, but when we started talking about cremation and picking out urns, that was too much. My Nanny almost passed out and we had to calm her down. I can't have anything happen to her! And when we got home my bro and I had to pick out clothes for my Mom to be dressed in. Her leather jacket, Slash t-shirt, the belt with the glittery skull buckle that I always fought over with her, and black jeans. I know that that's what she would want. That was her. We're not having a big service or anything, because I know she wouldn't want that either. She's in Boston right now, at the medical examiner's office, and we may not hear anything until the middle of the week. I just want to know what happened, I want some kind of closure. I miss her like crazy already. I keep bawling randomly because everything reminds me of her. My brother slept on my floor last night, I don't think either of us can be alone right now. When I'm alone it's all I can think about. We'll get through this together, but it's going to take a long time.<br /><br />I'm making it a point to not stress over the little... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Random music plug: Go listen to the new Alkaline Trio album, "Agony & Irony," cause it's great. Weezer's new one, "The Red Album," is really good too.<br /><br />Okay I'm reeeally not liking the new DA setup. It's taking me forever to view all the comments/deviations because when I delete something and then go back, it reappears on my list even when I refresh the page! Pain in the arse!!<br /><br />I'm beginning to think I'm addicted to cheesy reality shows. Ones like Top Chef, Shear Genius, Project Runway - my Mom and I watch those religiously. But I Love New York, Flavor of Love, Rock of Love - all those have been my favorites. And now I Love Money, which started last week, is sure to be my summer addiction. It's a bunch of people from those 3 shows, all competing for $250,000. And I'm starting to think I should go on some random reality show, cause look at how famous these people get just from making asses of themselves on tv! And then you make money off it! Sounds good to me. Oh - The Two Coreys too, almost forgot about that. Love it. If you grew up in the 80's/90's, you gotta love The Two Coreys! Haim, bless him, is still adorable even after all the trouble he's had. Feldman's wife is a bitch, nuff said about that. They're making it look like tonight's episode shows Haim doing drugs again or something - I reeeally hope that's not true cause all last season and this season so far, he's been trying so hard to get his life back on track and everyone's just shooting him down and being jerks. Then like, 2 weeks ago on the show his therapist asked what it was like to be him and he was like "it's awful, it's lonely and empty." I just wanted to go give him a big ol' hug! Alright, that's enough babbling for now - I have to go sort out my bills and stuff - fun. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This new DA setup is gonna take some getting used to. It just took me forever to get through all the deviations/comments I had waiting for me. Oh well, I'm sure it'll get better.<br /><br />We found out today that my Nanny's surgery is the 24th. Which sucks, cause it's right after her birthday, so she's gonna be worrying about it till then. But hopefully this will ALL be over after this is done! She opted to have a masectomy, because after they explained everything, it seemed like the best choice. Chances are she won't need to go through chemo afterward if they're able to get it all out, so that is very good news! <br /><br />I had some other stuff to say, but I'm drawing a complete blank right now. Oh well. I'm sure I'll remember later! lol<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My mood is NOT humor right now. Stupid ass thing won't let me change it. <br /><br />My Nanny had her surgery on Monday, right? We were feeling good about it because that part went well. So the week was going okay, and then I came home today and everyone was crying. I just thought "oh...no..." Her doctor called, at suppertime mind you, and told her that it is cancer. I don't even know what to do, like it hasn't fully hit me yet. She went in after they called, and they told her she needs a bigger operation, this time to remove all the tissue. And that it's stage II breast cancer, which means spreading to the lymphnodes, but hopefully nowhere else. And then after that they'll discuss treatments and stuff. Chemo? Fuck. She's going to freak out if she has to go through that. I can't even deal with anything right now, I don't know how I'm gonna go to work tomorrow.<br /><br />I'm sure I'm going to have a cryfest later. My whole life I've never been able to cry in front of anyone. Very rarely have I even done it in front of my Mom. I don't know why, I just keep everything inside of me until I'm alone and then let it out. What does it do? it doesn't help anything. Crying never helps anything. It makes me feel better for a bit, but then gives me a migraine and stuffy nose. I'm going to try to stay as positive as possible through this - even though I have a LOT of misdirected anger right now. Why do things like this happen to good people and not the fucking assholes that are walking the earth? Like the people that harass me at work all day about having tattoos? Or the jerkoffs that yell because their lottery tickets aren't played right? Not saying that anyone "deserves" this shit to happen to them, my point is just that it always seems to me that bad things happen to good people. Blah...I'll keep updating as I find out more.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Let it be known that there are very few people I would stand in the rain to see. Blake Lewis is one of those people! lol the day started out fun and my friend and I got on as many rides as we could, but then it started DOWNPOURING. So bad. We were more drenched from that than from the flume ride. haha I tried so hard to spot Blake wandering around, but I guess he wasn't cause I didn't see him anywhere and I circled that place a million times. Anywho. After the rain let up a little, we got in line for the concert. We were in line for almost 2 hours. I think it's safe to say that's the longest line I've ever waited in, for anything. It went on forever.<br /><br />We finally get into where the concert is, and I got PISSED because he was already singing "Here's My Hello" (acoustic! The whole set was acoustic) I mean, there were a ton of people still behind us that didn't even get to hear his awesomeness! I got mad at that. He doesn't get enough exposure as it is because radio stations are dicks and won't play his music, and then he gets stuck playing while everyone's filing in. I'm so surprised we got as close as we did, considering we were pretty far back in the line, so go me! I have pics and vids to share but I have to get them off my camera, and I'm too pooped right now to bother. Not sure what he played before we got inside, but I walked in on "Here's My Hello," then he did "1,000 Miles" and started "You Give Love A Bad Name" but only teased us and said if the whole band was there he would have done it lol. Then he did "How Many Words" (which sounded beautiful acoustic by the way! That's what I got the video of!) and he finished with "She Loves the Way." I really, really want him to be able to do his own tour because I wanted to hear him play longer!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

And if I should run into him walking around, I'm so asking him to go on a rollercoaster if he has time. lmao how funny would that be? Gah I'm so excited. Hope to have some fun pictures to share when I get back.<br /><br />Anyway. Fun times tomorrow and then Monday is my Nanny's surgery. Not looking forward to it, she's already freaking out. I'll try to update on that when I know what's going on after.<br /><br />For now, I gotta go clean up my room since I'm not gonna be home tomorrow. I hate being unorganized, but I need to be in a cleaning mood to clean and I am not in one of those moods right now! lol<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I really need to get caught up on adding artwork here. I'm working on so much stuff for so many different people, my room has mass amounts of paper and drawing supplies thrown everywhere right now. So sometime soon I'll end up uploading a bunch of stuff at once, just need to find the time and stop feeling ill from the damn heat!<br /><br />I bought myself an early birthday present! A Microsoft Zune. I was so sick of my old mp3 player dying on me all the time, I caved and bought a new one.

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been forever AGAIN since I've updated or posted anything. Sowwy! <br /><br />We've had a bit of a family scare so I haven't been online as much. My Nanny went to the doctor to have a lump in her breast looked at. Then when she went to see the surgeon yesterday, he said he just wants to take it out so they didn't even do a biopsy, which I find odd but maybe that's a good sign, cause if it was something bad he probably would have told her. So that's not happening till the end of the month. Blah. I hate worrying.<br /><br />On top of that, I have dentist appointments every freaking week it seems. The past 2 weeks I had to have some kind of deep cleaning done, each week they did a different side of my mouth. That sucked. Then I have 6 cavities, and for some reason they only filled one today. wtf I don't want to go back 5 more times! That's 5 novacaine needles in my mouth and I don't like that part one bit lmao. [it just wore off and my tooth is killing me]. Not to mention I don't have money for this shit. It's all fine and dandy that I have insurance now, but when you make crap for money it doesn't really help all that much. I should really start listening to everyone that tells me to do something with my artwork instead of staying at my dead-end job <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I caught up on all my comments/messages today, yay! Finally.<br /><br />I'm so sick of the dentist already. I have cavities that need to be filled, so when she called the other day I thought it was to make appointments for that. So I was all confused today when she started talking about cleaning half the mouth and then making an appointment to clean the other. Quad scaling I think is what they called it? I don't know, new to me since I haven't been in so long lol. It's basically a super high-power water jet that they shoot between your teeth to get rid of plaque and stuff. Even though she put numbing stuff in there, it fucking hurt! Maybe that's why they only do half the mouth at a time. My gums are so sore right now. I'm not looking forward to the other half! And then I STILL need to make appointments to get the cavities filled. This shit is draining my bank account. But despite that...<br /><br />I made an appointment to get my Adeline skull tattoo finished. I can't wait anymore! Saturday it will be done. *happy dance* lol<br /><br />There's an insane amount of concerts this summer. I knew everything was going to come at once! On June 22nd I'm going all the way to Six Flags just to see Blake Lewis. haha yes, make fun of me if you will but I love that boy! July 16th is Linkin Park (The Projekt Revolution Tour), July 18th is 311 and Snoop Dogg (don't ask, cause I don't know how that combo came about either. All I know is I'm going to be high just from the second-hand smoke in there LOL) and then August 15th is Good Charlotte, FINALLY. I'm so happy they finally announced a tour. I've been dying to hear GMR songs live since the damn album came out. I have to figure out how to go to more than one show, cause if they're gonna make us wait forever again after this tour, I wanna enjoy it for as long as possible!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...my computer gets a virus! That's what I get for downloading stuff for free when I should be paying for it. No sooner had I installed a game than my internet stopped working and windows didn't recognize any of my programs. I lost all my programs cause I had to clear my hard drive and re-install windows. Thank God all my important artwork/web stuff is saved on a second hard drive so I didn't lose that. I don't know what I would have done if that happened! I'd much rather sit here installing everything again for a few hours than have to deal with that. So I will catch up on stuff as soon as I can. Not too bad right now...62 deviations, 24 messages, 1 note...I will get to it I promise! lol<br /><br />I'm also working on some new stuff. I'm doing a fun summer/candy drawing that's super colorful. No outlines or black, just color. It's not done yet but when it is I'll get it up here.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So glad that's over with. I had them out on Monday and don't remember much of that day at all lol. I took the Valium they gave me, and it didn't do much of anything. So much so that the nurse had to ask me if I even took it before I got there. And then they couldn't get a vein in either arm for the IV, and it took 2 of them to get it to go into my hand painfully slow. The doctor said the first round of the anesthesia usually knocks most people out, but I was still awake so they gave me more. I fell asleep then, but my Mom says she kissed me on the cheek when she went to leave and I started laughing like an idiot, so they gave me more. LOL no wonder I couldn't wake up! They didn't let me fully wake up - I vaguely remember someone putting me in the car, I opened my eyes a few times on the way home, and then apparently I made a beeline for my room. I don't know how I walked, because I don't even think I was awake. I've been sore all week because I didn't take the Percoset they gave me. Well I did, but it didn't do much. And I don't understand cause it's not like I take meds all the time, you know? I figured everything would knock me on my ass!<br /><br />But I'm almost back to 100%, at least I can eat normally again now, and I'm glad it's over with!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So finally deciding to be responsible because I have my own insurance now, and because my wisdom teeth have been hurting, I made a dentist appointment, went the other day, and have a whole new load of shit to worry about. 6 cavities! wtf! Cavities are the least of my worries right now though. She said something about bone loss in my jaw and needing possible surgery. Ughhhh. Then....<br /><br />Today I saw the oral surgeon for the consultation to get the wisdom teeth pulled. I don't have bottom ones, he said that happens, but my top ones have bigger roots than normal and they're so far up there that I can't just have them numbed, I have to be put to sleep whether I want to or not (I didn't really want to). Then he gave me Valium to take the morning I go. And when we left my Mom was more freaked than me, because when I had my tonsils out and they drugged me up beforehand, I called the nurse a stupid slut. LMFAO! She was like if you start yelling "Dusan Mandic over and over, I'm outta there." (That was from an episode of Viva La Bam, where Bam was super drunk and met a dude named Dusan Mandic (pronounced douche-on-man-dick) and he kept saying it over and over LOL. That cracked me up. Drugs do not agree with me, and I really want someone to videotape this escapade because I'm sure I won't remember any of it. I have to wait till the 28th when I just want to get this over with already!!<br /><br />I shall catch up on comments and stuff when I get a chance! I'm also putting some more drawings ogether to get up here. And another wonderful friend of mine got one of my designs tattooed, so I've been thinking of putting something together of all the stuff I've drawn for people and their tattoos afterwards, like the "before and afters," so that everyone can see the finished results. I'll work on that soon, promise!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I is tired! lol last night was the first of my brother's wrestling shows that he let me go to. I think he's less nervous about family being there now, which is good! But I was so excited to go because Christian was there. He used to be one of my favorites when he was in the WWE. And Scotty 2 Hotty too! <br /><br />I didn't realize the extent of the shows that they put on, it was just like a smaller scale version of seeing an actual WWE show. All this time I thought it was just people wrestling in a gym. I know my bro was all nervous to meet them but he was so happy when he came home. It was so cute. I got a little emotional over the fact that he's getting to do this with guys he looks up to, people we watched on tv for years. It's a really cool thing to see.<br /><br />Now I'm going to stop being a proud sister and go do something creative. lol I bought a new bookshelf, and it's white, so white = let's paint all over it!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by `<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I finally uploaded some new stuff. I specifically set aside time today to do that cause I've had stuff sititng around forever that needed to get on here!<br /><br />Despite the fact that I shouldn't be spending money right now, I couldn't wait any longer for a new tattoo and made an appointment yesterday. YAY! I'm getting the Adeline sugar skull that I drew (it's in my gallery somewhere) on the top inside of my left arm. I'm excited! I've figured if I'm going to eventually have my whole arm done, I want to keep all colorful ones on the top and the black and gray ones on the bottom half. After the bigger pieces are done, I want to fill the blank spots in with stars and music notes that start colorful at the top and turn into black and gray at the bottom. And yes, I sit around and think about these things all the time. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> Anyway, I'm getting it started next Friday night so I'll post pictures!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by =<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been inspired like crazy to draw so much stuff lately, I started writing ideas down so I wouldn't forget them. I have to go scan some of it so I can get it on here. Could I be any slower with getting this stuff up? Seriously!!<br /><br />I have some tattoo designs I did for a friend, the drawing I worked on for Valentine's Day (yeah, wayyyy late on that one), a Nightmare Before Christmas piece that I'm pretty happy with, and I'm currently working on something involving markers and watercolors (fun!) So one day this week your watch pages will be filled with new stuff from me! For now, I gotta go watch me some Rock of Love II <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by =<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was working on a drawing for Valentine's Day, but as with every holiday drawing I do, it ends up not getting on here till weeks later LOL. I will work on getting it up, promise! I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day though, even though I did absolutely nothing <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br />I am sooooo tired so I'm getting to bed early tonight. It sucks because I fell asleep after work for a few hours too, yet I'm still insanely tired. My sleep patterns need to change, that's for sure. My cat is a menace that makes noise all night and randomly wakes me up at odd hours. He's such a little turd, but I love him!<br /><br />Remember when The Used cancelled my show and said they'd reschedule a new one in Jan. or Feb? Yeah, nothing yet. I'm pissed because I want my money back if they're not going to come back! Sucky. In better news though, Good Charlotte's supposed to be coming back in the summer time. I'm SO making it a point to see them as many times as possible on this tour because I've been in withdrawl from not seeing them for so long! Plus I wanna meet them againnnnn.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by =<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Important! <a href="http://kissmypixels.deviantart.com/journal/16537259/">[link]</a><br /><br />I'm so happy! Myspace can be a wonderful thing sometimes. I wrote to Kim Saigh of LA Ink just to tell her I love her work and that she and the other girls (Kat and Hannah) are a huge inpiration to me, and she wrote back. It means the world to me to hear "good luck with the tattooing" from someone I look up to so much!! So that put a smile on my face today, for sure.<br /><br />Um...what else? Winter is getting depressing. I hate it. It was so crappy all week, I'm forgetting what the sun looks like! I'm going to make it a point to spend as much time outdoors this summer as possible, because this winter has been yucky as hell.<br /><br />Artwork, artwork. I've been meaning to start a piece to be auctioned off for the WM3. <a href="http://wm3.org">[link]</a> - I so can't start explaining why I support them so much because I get angry and frustrated and go off on rants every time I explain the case to people lol. But if you know about it, hopefully you agree with me that it's incredibly ridiculous that they've spent half their lives in jail for a crime that had no evidence that pointed to them doing it. Anyway, there is a site where you can auction off your WM3-related art and the money goes to the support fund. I'm just having a total creative-block and can't think of anything to do right now! I'm going to go think about that for a bit and hopefully come up with something.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by =<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ First off, I want to just wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in case I don't get to post on here before next week!<br />
<br />
A few months ago, and I actually forgot about this until the other day, I emailed a picture to Steve-O's website of me wearing a Steve-O shirt because it said if you did, he's send something to you. Well on Saturday I got something in the mail from Los Angeles, and after totally forgetting about the whole thing, I didn't know what it was. I open it up and it's the picture of me, signed by Steve-O! I started cracking up because I figured it would be a signed picture of him or something, you know? Nope, he wrote "Megan - Love ya, babe! <3 Steve-O" He smudged the ink on the heart too lol. That definitely made my day more cheerful. And now I get to look conceited for having a framed picture of myself in my room! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br />
<br />
There's another contest going on at his message board to design new shirts for him. I'm totally entering something, because everything everyone else has posted is basically cut-and-pasted pictures of him and I think it would be way cooler and more original to have something drawn, like a cartoon of him or something. I dunno, I have ideas floating around in my head, I'll probably sketch some things out later tonight. I'll be sure to get anything I draw posted up on here!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by =<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I soooo need to catch up on my comments! The holidays make everything so difficult to keep up with lol. However, I only have to get 2 more things and then I'm all done. Thank God!<br />
<br />
I have been watching way too many movies lately. There never seems to be anything good on tv anymore. I saw "Knocked Up" the other day, which was pretty funny. It had almost all the same people from "Superbad" (oh my lord that movie is hilarious) and even though it was crude and obnoxious at times, it actually had a really cute ending. Um...what else? I hadn't seen the movie "Rock Star" with Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston in so long but I bought it for 10 bucks at Best Buy the other day and my Mom and I have watched it about 4 times lol. It's such a good movie! <br />
<br />
Alright I have to go get caught up on my comments!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by =<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Tagged by <a href="http://sweetchile.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/sweetchile.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsweetchile:" title="sweetchile"/></a>!<br />
<br />
This is what ya gotta do:<br />
1. Post these rules<br />
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves<br />
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts<br />
4. At the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named<br />
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them that they're tagged.<br />
<br />
I'll cheat and say that whoever wants to do this, go for it! lol I did this not too long ago but I'll try and think of different stuff <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
1. I hate Christmas until I'm done with my shopping. Then I love it!<br />
2. I'm obsessed with collecting The Nightmare Before Christmas stuff. Despite the fact that all my family and friends know this, no one has ever gotten me a double of anything for my b-day or Christmas presents. Pretty impressive!<br />
3. All the cds I own are in my computer as well. I had my uncle soup it up so that it can hold crazy amounts of music.<br />
4. I have a cat that wears a sweater when it's cold. He's a house cat, never goes outside, yet he still likes it. lol!<br />
5. I have a dog that knocks ornaments off the Christmas tree...isn't the cat supposed to do that?<br />
6. I'm having trouble thinking of more! Um...I also have an obsession with makeup, mostly eyeshadows. Whenever I see bright pretty colors I have to buy them! I recently discovered "medusasmakeup.com" - and I might go broke if I don't stop myself from ordering from there. <br />
7. I do not own a car. I need one so bad!<br />
8. I loooooove horror movies. And getting into arguments about whether or not originals are better than remakes <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by =<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Last night was so crazy. I was looking forward to seeing Dane all week just so I could laugh my ass off, and I definitely did. I had a lot of favorite moments, but I think the best was when he started the "a condom?" bit from his new cd, and someone threw on at him. He picked it up and stared at it, and then he said "Too small!" and chucked it back at them. Hilarious! He was so full of energy, you could tell he was having as much fun as everybody else. It must have been crazy for him to be in his hometown doing 2 sold-out shows in one night. (Yeah, the second one they added was for 10:30 the same night!)<br />
<br />
Anywho. It was a teriffic time, and now I have no concerts or anything ahead of me to look forward too. Boooo. Someone else needs to do a tour!<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by =<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

<br />
Truth is, I've felt like ass all week and I'm just now starting to feel better. Hopefully I can tackle all the comments and deviations that are waiting for me this weekend, since I have absolutely nothing planned.<br />
<br />
Next weekend though, is Dane Cook! Saturday night - I'm super excited. I wrote on the calendar at work "Get on the Dane Train" after I wrote that I need it off - lmao no one knew what that meant.<br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by =<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The wonderful, talented, gorgeous sweetheart of a man named Blake Lewis freaking answered me back because I sent him a message with graphics that I made to promote his album and a bunch of my other random ramblings. I did not expect to get a reply seeing as how he must get swamped with comments and messages so I was super excited when I saw it in my inbox. Check it out:<br />
<a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/motivateme182/Blake/blake.png">[link]</a><br />
<br />
haha everyone I showed is making fun of his typos but I could care less. He was probably typing fast to get to as many replies as he could. And now, "creativing" is my new favorite word <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br /><div class="illusio-footer" align="center">Lay-out by =<a class="u" href="http://illusio-5.deviantart.com/">Illusio-5</a></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I got this from <a href="http://jeannieblue.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/e/jeannieblue.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconjeannieblue:" title="jeannieblue"/></a> cause I'm bored and it looked like fun!<br />
<br />
01.] What is your pen name?<br />
I don't have one! So let's go with...username on here I guess? mypetsally <br />
<br />
02.] What made you choose this name?<br />
When I was signing up on here, I was listening to "My Pet Sally" by blink-182. That's really as far as my thinking goes for coming up with usernames <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br />
<br />
03.] Do you use PC or Mac?<br />
PC<br />
<br />
04.] What programs do you use most often?<br />
Paint Shop Pro 9, PhotoPaint 8, wordpad<br />
<br />
05.] Do you use mouse, or tablet?<br />
Mouse. I need to save up and get me a tablet!<br />
<br />
06.] What colour or colour combinations do you find yourself using most often?<br />
Anything and everything! I love using pink and yellow together, or green and purple. Bright colors are always fun to play around with.<br />
<br />
07.] What part of a picture do you put most effort into?<br />
I try to put a lot of effort into the whole thing! If it's a person, probably the eyes because they're the hardest to get right. But everything else, I try hard to do equally good on all parts of it!<br />
<br />
08.] How long does it take you do draw a picture?<br />
It definitely all depends on the size, how many colors, what medium I'm using. I could never give one specific amount of time as an answer.<br />
<br />
09.] Do you keep your rough drafts?<br />
Yes. I usually scan everything so I can save them on my computer as well.<br />
<br />
10.] What font do you use most often?<br />
I usually use Arial for most things, I'm not sure why!<br />
<br />
11.] When you scan your image, what DPI do you use?<br />
It depends what I'm scanning<br />
<br />
12.] Do you do anything else when you're drawing?<br />
I usually always listen to music. Or sometimes I'll put in a good movie so I can be entertained while my brain is blanking on ideas lol<br />
<br />
13.] Approximately how many pictures do you draw in a month?<br />
pfft...a bunch? I'm constantly doodling! I wish I didn't work as much as I do, cause I'd be creating way more art than I have been lately.<br />
<br />
14.] What kind of paper do you draw your pictures on?<br />
I have my favorite sketchbooks that have a thick cardstock type paper in them. if that's not within reach, then usually just plain old computer paper!<br />
<br />
15.] What kind of paper do you use for rough sketches and drafts?<br />
smaller sketchbooks of the same brand, or plain computer paper.<br />
<br />
16.] How long does it take you to ink something?<br />
Again, depends on the size and detail of the piece.<br />
<br />
17.] Do you do comics, or fan comics?<br />
My brother and I used to make comics for fun when we were younger. But one of our series consisted of 75-year old gangsters in a nursing home who would leave every night and start fights. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> Yeah, we're silly.<br />
<br />
18.] Do you like comics? Are they fun to make?<br />
I haven't made any in a really long time. The only ones I own are Beavis and Butthead and Ren and Stimpy comics, but my brother's fully into Batman/Spiderman/The Incredible Hulk, all of that. So I pretty much grew up around that even though I don't read them. I watch the movies though!<br />
<br />
19.] Have you ever submitted anything to a magazine?<br />
Yes. I still need to submit some stuff to Tattoo magazine though!<br />
<br />
20.] Did it get published?<br />
The thing that got published was a piece of art my brother and I made for Fox Kids Magazine LOL. We won a Jingle All the Way movie poster for it too!<br />
<br />
21.] Who are your favorite artists?<br />
Tim Burton is probably my all-time favorite. I fell in love with The Nightmare Before Christmas when I was 10 years old and after that I got into all his other work. He's such a talented man and his art is such a huge influence for me. Kat Von D as well - she's such an amazing tattoo artist and if I can learn o be half as good as she is, I'll be happy! As for painters, my favorite is Mark Ryden. All his work is so out there and crazy, but still beautiful. I absolutely love it!<br />
<br />
22.] Do you like anime/manga? If so, what are your favorite series?<br />
Meh not really. I like the stupid funny ones, like Shin-Chan! haha "ass dance, ass dance!"<br />
<br />
23.] Do you like cartoons/comics? If so, what are your favorite series?<br />
Cartoons are the shiznit! Spongebob, Invader Zim - those are the 2 big ones that I love now. But everyone knows Ninja Turtles was the best - the OLD SCHOOL cartoon, not the new one they ha... ]]></description>
