                <description><![CDATA[ mood: anxious<br />I submitted my painting to the scholarship contest.<br /><br />They'll pick a select few to be part of the gallery show that will run from Nov 4- Dec 4<br /><br />and from those they will select one 1st place winner - $1000<br /><br />one 2nd place winner - $750<br /><br />one 3rd place winner - $500<br /><br />and two honorable mentions will receive $125 each<br /><br /><br />It'd be pretty fantastic to win some money. Bright futures leaves me with about $800 that I still have to pay for, so any of the places would be really helpful to me. At the very least, I'd like my piece to be in the show.<br /><br />I'm pretty confident that it's a good piece. I spent a lot of time carefully painting it. A lot of me went into it. I felt bad leaving it there in that room. However, I've come to realize it's not always about a piece just being good. I'm worried I put too much of myself in it and it doesn't look as logical and systematic as the other pieces I saw in there. I saw a bunch of skeleton studies..which is basically college art I guess. In other words I guess I'm worried it's too fantasy and not collegy enough. Whatever. They will never crush me under that cookie stamp. Of course I'd be quite upset if I didn't win, even moreso if I didn't win anything at all. I'd be horribly depressed if they called me on Monday and told me to pick up my rejected piece, but even right now at this moment I'm proud of myself because I made a painting. It is complete (to the fullest extent I will allow myself to complete it) and it is framed and wired and man framing really does make a difference. It actually looks professional and quite pretty. So even if I don't win squat, I have myself a beautiful painting I can proudly put up for the world to see. Heck, I bet I could even sell it for a nice amount. However I do have personaly issues with selling pieces...I need to get over that haha.<br /><br /><br />oh well bla bla bla<br />I have a busy and stressful weekend ahead of me<br /><br />with me luck!<br /><br /><br />P.S.<br /><br />BIG thanks to Jaro for "helping me" with my artist statement.<br />If I win ANYTHING it's because of him.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My babies: Domino <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/nocturnalblue/domino.jpg">[link]</a> and Iko <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/nocturnalblue/Iko.jpg">[link]</a> are in need of a bigger cage. A 2 or 3 level ferret cage would be awesome. (I prefer a taller cage over a wider one because of space issues in my room)<br /><br />Unfortunately all the cheap ones I find on Ebay are pickup only, and of course they're all in Ohio or California. -.-"<br />Sooooo, if anyone knows where I can get a decent priced, decent sized cage for 2 hyper little rats to live in, please let me know!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm entering a scholarship contest thingy.<br /><br />I need to submit a work of art by the 30th/31st<br /><br />I was thinking maybe I could just make a painting of a particularly decent piece on here<br />or I could just make up something new...but that would take more time<br /><br />help meh!<br /><br />is there any piece on here or <a href="http://themuseinyourhead.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/h/themuseinyourhead.gif" alt=":iconthemuseinyourhead:" title="themuseinyourhead"/></a> you think I might have a shot with if I remake it on a canvas?<br /><br />I'd been kind of thinking of remaking my newest one (So Long Spaceman) because it actually has an idea/thought behind it, and I need to make an artist statement to go with my piece describing why I made it and what it means and stuff, but at the same time I get the feeling it's not a very strong/interesting piece.<br /><br />Of course, the painting would not be an exact replica. I plan to make things a bit nicer and prettier and such. Ahhh! I don't know what to do!<br /><br />hellllllp!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just don't have a working scanner =\<br /><br /><br />maybe I can use Edd's if it's the right kind<br /><br /><br />oh, I was gonna end this here but since it's a journal entry maybe I should make it a little longer. So let's see...let's talk about my life right now.<br />I'm not enjoying school as much as I'd hoped. I'm feeling drained and tested. I've gone to the point where I began to question whether I wanted to keep going or just drop out.<br />No worries. I'm one tough cookie. I'm not going to let any little bump stop me from reaching my goal. It's become all too apparent to me that <b>I am an artist</b>. It's what I was born to be and it's simply what <b>I am</b>. Nothing and no one can stop me from being what I already am.<br /><br />suckers<br /><br /><br />apart from that notion, Jerry's been pretty nice and supportive during my ordeal<br />I really appreciate him putting up with my tantrums and near breakdowns<br /><br /><br /><br />on a funny note<br />this morning some random dude told me I should go to FIT<br />because, in his enthusiastic words "you got the look baby!"<br />I suppose in his mind NY fashion students wear Tripp pants<br />anyway it was a cute and funny ego boost for my day<br />I feel bad now that I was too busy laughing to actually thank him<br />it means a lot when I get such compliments but I never think<br />to voice my appreciation until the moment is done and over with<br /><br /><br /><br />well I think this was a long enough entry<br />perhaps a bit too long<br />now I'll have to make another soon<br />a shorter one so as to not take up all the space on my profile page x.x<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A band on myspace has requested I make them some album cover art and maybe some portraits later on. It's looking like they want something more or less in the style of this piece of mine <a href="http://themuseinyourhead.deviantart.com/art/Night-of-the-Comet-119253543">[link]</a><br /><br /><br /><br />I've never been commissioned for anything like this before so I have no idea what to charge them. Not even an idea!<br />I don't wanna go very expensive, seeing as I don't think I'm that great and of course I actually want to do this, so I don't want them to decide to not commission me because of my snooty expensive rate. At the same time I don't want to be taken advantage of and charge them way less than what it's worth.<br /><br />So how about some of you wise art peoples grace me with your opinions on the matter <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I finished all the legs <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />unfortunately I accidentally broke Falcore's leg off his shoe...<br />it had just come out of the oven and I noticed it was leaning a little off to the wrong side so I figured I could shove it in the right direction gently since it's still a little soft coming out of the oven but no...just snapped off. Sorry Falcore <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blushes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":blushes:" title="Blush" /><br />I glued it back though! using Zap! so it's okay now <br />It was hard trying to get the legs straight since the shoes are pretty big and when I lay them down the leg part wants to touch the pan due to the whole gravity thing. I made little tin foil pillows to try to stop that from happening...it worked ok..except for that one.<br /><br />anyway...<br />I spent the rest of my day painting the shoes [it takes at least 3 coats to look right!] and some socks. I completely finished painting Chibi's boots and knee highs, though I may add some details later if I see fit<br />got the base coats done for all the other shoes except for Falcore's [because the glue was drying] so I don't have much left to do for the shoes<br /><br />tomorrow I wanna start on the torsos <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />I don't know if I'll have the patience to start on the hands yet, but my goal is to be done with everything but the heads by the time Luz comes back [in a week]<br />that's a lot of time, so hopefully I'll actually be done with everything by then<br />but I'm keeping in mind how 11 intricately crafted hands may be time consuming<br /><br />Also gotta make the clothes. It'll be fun but also quite time consuming.<br />I'm really dreading the moment I have to make the heads...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So if you'll remember from my huge Birthday Massacre show @ Jannus Landing post, after meeting with half of those lovely massacre peeps I told them I'd make them dolls if they came back to Fl. Of course, they have no control over whether or not they come to Fl again but wouldn't you know it, they're playing in Orlando on the 1st of May and they're headlining <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />I've known this for a while now but today I decided to get started on the dolls.<br />I had previously wanted to make dolfie type dolls of them<br /><a href="http://sansaii.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/a/sansaii.png?3" alt=":iconsansaii:" title="sansaii"/></a> and I are actually going to make them together as the process seems it would be easier done with a friend. We already bought our supplies but so far haven't been able to get started. I of course, still plan on continuing that project with her, but I decided I wouldn't make my Birthday Massacre dolls in that style as it would probably take hella long to make 6 friggin dolfies.<br /><br />I decided instead to make something smaller and simpler, using a method I've seen <a href="http://bellz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/e/bellz.png?1" alt=":iconbellz:" title="bellz"/></a> use for her amazing dolls.<br /><br />So like I said, I started working on these dolls today<br />So far I have completed:<br /><br />all 6 sets of arms<br />all 6 sets of thighs<br />2 sets of lower legs [including the shoes]<br />and one hand<br /><br />I was working on the 3rd pair of shoes but decided to stop for the night<br />you really wouldn't think 6 sets of arms and legs would take so long to make<br />but it's a lot of work. The clay is so soft and easily squashed<br />and I have to shape the joints right so the pieces fit together well<br />but I'm pretty proud of my progress<br /><br />all I have left to make are:<br /><br />3 pairs of lower legs with shoes<br />11 more hands<br />6 heads<br />6 torsos<br />and finish the shoes I'm working on and attach the legs<br /><br />[and then of course sand/paint & clothe them...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" />]<br /><br />I put together one of the arms and attached the hand and it looks pretty good <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />my grandma was really impressed with my hand and said it was "perfect"<br />I wouldn't call it perfect but I am pretty pleased with how well it turned out<br />of course...now I have to see if I can repeat that 11 more times x.x<br /><br />tomorrow will be pretty challenging<br />I've tried making a head with that clay before and it's not fun<br />like I said it's super squashy so while working on one area of the face I'll find I've accidentally smooshed another. I think I've got the technique down for the hands, but it'll be really hard making same sized pairs...the shoes are no picnic either<br />The only easy part I have to look forward to are the torsos but unfortunately I can't start on those until all the arms and legs are complete >.<<br /><br /><br />ah well, wish me luck!<br />hopefully I can figure something out for the heads<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ yes <b>you</b><br /><br />I got this idea a while ago<br /><br />everyone's quite familiar with the 100 theme challenge that was floating about DA for a while. Some of you are still working on it and made quite some progress, whereas I never quite got started XD<br /><br />anyway, I have a better idea!<br /><br />I thought it'd be fun to something of the sort only incorporating music<br />for me, there is no greater inspiration for my art than music<br />First I though it'd be cool to pick out 100 random lyrics, but I think it'd be more fun if everyone gets to choose their own<br /><br />so this is my Challenge<br /><br />1. pick out your favorite album of your favorite band/artist<br />2. draw something for each and every single song on the album<br />3. if there's a particular line of lyrics in the song that inspires you most you can use those as the titles instead of the song title<br /><br />what do you think?<br />there aren't an awful lot of albums that have more than 20 or so songs<br />so it'll be way less intimidating than taking on 100!<br />and what better way to pay tribute to your favorite musicians<br /><br />and of course if you finish, you could always pick another album or another artist<br /><br />eh?<br /><br />do link me to your pieces if you take & complete the challenge <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><br /><br />.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.:*:.<br /><br />my challenge [you'll never guess]<br /><br /><br />Artist: The Birthday Massacre<br />Album: Violet<br /><br />1. Prologue [I guess this counts]<br />2. Lover's End<br />3. Happy Birthday<br />4. Horrorshow<br />5. Violet<br />6. Red<br />7. Play Dead<br />8. Blue<br />9. Video Kid<br />10. The Dream<br />11.

                <description><![CDATA[ Man oh man<br /><br />it seems a LOT of artists are struggling to get commissions lately<br /><br />In the past week I've already read 3 different artist journal entries asking for commission requests so they can make $ for [enter reason here]<br /><br />We got my dear friend <a href="http://jazzphoto.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/a/jazzphoto.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconjazzphoto:" title="jazzphoto"/></a> who is trying to earn $ for a trip to Paris<br /><br />We got <a href="http://ashwings.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/s/ashwings.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconashwings:" title="ashwings"/></a> here who is having ridiculous trouble getting into the US because she's Canadian and they think she won't come back or some such nonsense. So now she needs to get a lawyer and deal with all sorts of pricey stuff. <br />I don't personally know this girl, but she does this nifty zombie comic that can be found here <a href="http://www.thezombiehunters.com">[link]</a><br /><br />she has lots of neat things to buy in her store too. I'm not exactly well off money-wise but I'm going to at least buy a button pack from her. I feel really sad about her situation.<br /><br />Then we got my other talented friend <a href="http://fala.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/fala.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfala:" title="fala"/></a><br />Her BF lost his job and now she doesn't know how they'll be able to keep up with their rent. Her income alone wont cover it.<br /><br /><a href="http://theredmess.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/theredmess.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontheredmess:" title="theredmess"/></a> has kindly also offered commission work to make money for <a href="http://fala.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/fala.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfala:" title="fala"/></a> 's predicament<br /><br />I'm thinking I could do the same, as I really don't want to see one of my best friends get evicted, but I've never done any commission work on here before so I'm pretty lost on how to go about doing it<br /><br />Anyway...Commissions would be much appreciated from any of these artists I mentioned here. They're all amazingly talented artists. <br />And if you wanna try to commission me, I'll give it a shot and just ask for help from my fellow artists on how this whole commission thing works on here. I'm sure it's not that complicated.<br /><br /><br /><3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

That's basically a birthday card's worth of cash right there.<br />It isn't crucial to my survival and it's not like there was a better way I could have spent it.<br />Helping out a charity that saves animals while at the same time also giving back to someone who has<br />already given me so much...seems like a good deal to me. <br /><br />Anyway, that doesn't mean anyone else is required to donate as much. He'll take anything.$5?  This one girl donated $2. Come on...don't tell me you don't have $2 lying around that you can't let go of<br /><br />I know everyone's a little tight on money right now, but honestly now...$2?<br /><br />if you're not into this whole kinda thing, then you can help by asking around. Maybe you know someone who has money they're willing to part with...or someone who loves animals a lot <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br /><br />I'm thinking of maybe giving away art [drawings, dolls and such]  to people who donate<br />ya, sounds lame, but believe it or not there are people out there who might go for it<br /><br />Anyway...if you're actually interested in this, here's the link to where you can sponsor him:<br /><br /><a href="http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=519543&LangPref=en-CA">[link]</a><br /><br />it's a single donation. Not one of those where you get screwed over by having to pay for ever lap. There are no laps, this is a 5k run<br /><br /><br /><br />so ya<br /><br /><br />peace<br /><br /><br />P.S.<br /><br />I'm not trying to make non-donors feel bad<br />sorry if it kinda came off that way at any point<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ got no scanner, so I can't show you my little test strips<br /><br />I'm actually working at developing an actual idea...yeh, amazing isn't it?<br /><br />I have 6 characters, 2 of which are developed, 2 of which are kinda half developed and the last 2 are still blank<br /><br />I actually have most of a plot and a definite style I want to use for the whole thing. <br /><br />I've drawn 2 test strips. Just simple single panel strips of certain scenes that will be in it.<br /><br />I'm hoping that by writing about it I'm not jinxing it...as I tend to fail at whatever I write about hoping to accomplish, hehe...<br /><br />I'm pretty optimistic though...I've been giving it a lot of thought and continue to each day. Hopefully by the time I get home I'll have something to put up. At least the beginnings of my comic...but ya...shush...I didn't say anything *shifty eyes*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I've started on the rough draft for the group shot, and done pretty much all the pencil sketching for a single shot of Owen [copied from a most excellent picture of him in an awesome pose]. If things go the way I want, I'll have a group shot and a single shot of all 6 of them.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I got one day to write a letter of intent and provide 5-10 pieces of art to bring to MCC to see if some people wanna give me a scholarship for it<br /><br />the deadline is the 23rd<br /><br />the 25th = Zombie photoshoot<br /><br />then on the 28th I fly to Seattle!<br /><br />visiting my cousin Krizia, then...on the 30th...<br /><br /><b>The Birthday Massacre concert!</b><br /><br />"but Kristal, didn't you just go to one? I thought you wrote about it like..1 entry ago"<br /><br />why yes, this happens to be the same concert, only it's in Seattle. I will just so happen to be visiting Krizia at the same time. It was all too perfect, so I'm gonna get to see them a second time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> this time with Krizia [who is now totally in them thanks to me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />]<br /><br />I get back on June 5th<br /><br />then on the 8th I go to New York with my mom and sister<br /><br />The Birthday Massacre is playing there too, on the 27th <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />we're flying back on the 28th<br /><br />oh the coincidences of life<br /><br />but who knows if I'll make it to that one and get to see my lovely band a whopping 3 times in one year<br /><br />if I do get to see them, fan-freaking-tastic!<br /><br />but if I don't, I'm not complaining. Twice in one year is more than I could have ever hoped for<br /><br />heck, the first time I saw them was just amazing beyond belief <br /><br />I'm grateful ^_^<br /><br /><br />gah...this entry was supposed to be about art and stuff I gotta do...here I am ranting on about The Birthday Massacre<br /><br />ah well, while I'm at it I better clarify something<br /><br />I didn't just all of a sudden get into them, which I'm sure it sounds like<br /><br />I've adored them since I first heard of them a couple years ago [sadly I didn't know about them sooner] but seeing them live was just such an amazing experience that now I can't help but find myself constantly rambling on about them<br /><br /><br />ah well...<br /><br />I'll write my art goals in another entry<br /><br />Kristal has a mild case of OCD and doesn't like posting gigantic journal entries on DA [unless they're of concerts like the AFI & The Birthday Massacre ones]<br />and this one has gone on long enough<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Rules:<br />1 -Post these rules<br />2 -Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their<br />journal<br />3 -At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 friends/people and post<br />their icons on the same journal<br />4 -Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" />1. I can't remember a time when I didn't draw. It's one of those things I've just always been doing since before my brain can even remember...kinda like breathing<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" />2. I'm a tomboy lady and I loves it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I enjoy being balanced between being girly and boy-ish<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" />3. on that same note, I <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> androgyny. Don't know what sparked it, but throughout the past few years I've developed quite the affinity to it...and pretty boys who wear make-up make me swoon XD<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" />4. I completely agree with the idea that artists see two different worlds [reality & the artistic world]. I believe this because it applies to me. One such example is suicide. Artistically, I can't help but see a poetic beauty in a depiction of suicide. This is of course, only in the cinematic sense. Before you start thinking I'm a sick freak allow me to explain that in the world of reality, suicide sickens me. I see it as the most selfish, inconsiderate, ungrateful and idiotic act ever. Nothing beautiful about that one.<br /><br />so ya...ONE thing that I see in TWO completely different lights.<br /><br />I don't know if I made any sense...<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" />5. ...heh...as you can see...sometimes I don't make sense. Lots of times I just get thoughts. No words or anything, just thoughts about things and when I try to put them into words or explain it to someone, it comes out in a jumbled mess that makes no sense whatsoever<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" />6. I've started seeing "things" more and more lately. Mostly they're just dark silhouettes moving about just at the edge of my line of vision, or sometimes I even see them dead on but as I get closer they disappear. They don't even end up being something that <i>looked</i> like a person or anything, sometimes just absolutely nothing is there. However, the other night I saw a little blond girl duck behind my couch, which was odd because she wasn't just a black form, she actually had some more detail to her.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" />7. I am constantly watching my back, <strike>even</strike> especially when I'm alone.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" />8. I have some of the most amazingly detailed dreams ever. They're like horror movies. It's pretty cool <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><br />and now the tagging<br /><br /><br />they probably won't even see this but oh wellz<br />I tried <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://luxlumen.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/u/luxlumen.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconluxlumen:" title="luxlumen"/></a><br /><a href="http://green-daisy.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/r/green-daisy.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongreen-daisy:" title="green-daisy"/></a><br /><a href="http://noraneko.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/o/noraneko.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnoraneko:" title="noraneko"/></a><br /><a href="http://sansaii.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/a/sansaii.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsansaii:" title="sansaii"/></a><br /><a href="http://theredmess.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/theredmess.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontheredmess:" title="theredmess"/><... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is now the 3rd concert I've been to, and they just keep getting better and better.<br /><br />We got there sometime around 5 and waited in the line which was much smaller than I thought it would be. We were right next to the MSI bus and the TBM bus was on the other side of the street. We're just waiting there and chillin among all the little hot topic kids surrounding us, and who should pass by but HALF the freaking Birthday Massacre! And no one else seems to notice. I'm like holy crap it's The Birthday Masacre! and Luz and I are all freaking out, then some time later Chibi passes by. None of these little hot topic kids seem to have any idea. Even when Jimmy Urine passes by do they realize it's him. Though at least with him after a few seconds they were all like "OMG was that Jimmy Urine? No. No way."<br /><br />So then we're waiting and Rainbow and O.E. pass by us again. This time I stop them for a picture. O.E. stops but Rainbow keeps walking. I guess he didn't think I wanted him in it too XD so I call him, I'm like "you too, I like you" so then he comes back. They were so nice and smiley, like they weren't even annoyed or anything.<br />When we got back in line the people behind us were like "who was that???"<br />*shakes head slowly*....hot topic kids suck. They got their parents to pay $22 for their tickets and they can't even recognize the people theyr'e going to see. Sure you could say that maybe they were only there for MSI and didn't even know The Birthday Massacre but Jimmy walked by like 3 times and no one seemed to notice. It was annoying but I didn't mind that much...more Birthday Massacre for me ^_^<br /><br /><br />Anyway, skip to when we finally get to go in. We're only like 3 rows away from the front, but if you've been to a concert with me, you know about my little "swimming" tactic. [ask Shaena ;D] Anyway, I eventually get myself right up at the front. [We're in the center as well XD] and there's just one guy in front of me. People keep pushing in so I end up getting shoved up all over that guy. So I'm like "sorry I'm all on top of you"<br />"Oh I don't mind, you're gorgeous"<br />"thanks"<br /><br />anyway...first band comes up. Combichrist. Never heard of them but as soon as they get on stage I realize they're awesome! And they're all really hott too. Especially the drummer. They put on a great show.<br /><br />then we're waiting for The Birthday Massacre.<br />Remember that one guy in front of me? He goes:<br />"so...are you here with your boyfriend?"<br />"no"<br />"ah...do you have a boyfriend?"<br />"no" I always have the habit of instinctively answering that question truthfully when I shouldn't >.<<br />"oh...wanna make out?"<br />"nah...no thanks"<br /><br />o.0<br /><br />anyway...after a bit I asked the guy if he'd switch places with me for The Birthday Massacre and we'll switch back when MSI comes out, but he's all.."nah...I like The Birthday Massacre too..." and I'm all like "pleeeaase" so then he ends up scooting a bit and giving me space to go in next to him.<br />This is where I stress how much I love being tall and skinny. I easily made it up right against the fence thingy and he didn't even really have to move much.<br /><br />Then The freaking Birthday Massacre comes out! They're all setting up and I'm all freaking out inside like a giddy little schoolgirl. I wave frantically at Rhim while he's testing out the drums. He sees me, but he doesn't do anything, but later he leaves and when he walks back to the drums he looks back over at where I am and waves back at me XD<br /><br />They do an amazing performance. Chibi is so cute and she's totally cool and interacts with the audience: smiling, pointing, making faces and hand hearts at them. I made her a hand heart and she made me one back then pointed at me XD<br />some idiots were all going "you suck!" before they came, which is freaking annoying. Anyway, they were totally awesome and I was getting shoved so much against that fence and had elbows digging into my ribs...way painful but so worth it ^_^<br /><br />Then we had to wait for MSI. They took way longer than The Birthday Massacre did. I manage to scoot myself out of the front and get back behind the guy like I promised, but now I'm getting all shoved up onto him again.. During the wait alone for MSI it got so hot and crowded, poor Luz couldn't breathe and finally we all decided to just back away some. People are so much more cooperative in the pit when you want to move away from the stage. I had so many people yelling at everyone to move for me XD<br /><br />We found ourselves at a good distance where we could actually feel a breeze. Finally MSI came on and all of a sudden. Holy crap everyone's gone nuts! I couldn't stand. People were shoving like crazy back and forth and I was just like Dear God don't let me fall down! because I know that once you fall in a mosh pit, that's it. You're not getting up unless you're on a stretcher <img src="http://e.deviantart.... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so I was helping <a href="http://fala.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/fala.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfala:" title="fala"/></a> move out [cuz she's moving in with her friends "and stuff" XD] And then we went to go see Lars and the real girl. We had fun, I miss seeing her. I want to try to hang out with her at least every week.<br /><br />Anyway, since she was getting rid of stuff, she gave me: 2 journals, one huge amazing sketchbook, a penis glow-stick, a rad-tastic gaudy bracelet, ANNND....A TABLET <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />a freaking tablet ! a big one too!<br /><br />All she needed was to find the CD, but even if she couldn't find it she said I could order one for pretty cheap and that I might want to go get the tablet refurbished, which would also not be very expensive [certainly not like $200 or so like such a tablet would cost!]<br /><br />So I went to the website, just so I'd be ready to order a CD in case she didn't find hers...and as it turns out, the software is a FREE DOWNLOAD! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />so I downloaded it, installed it, and presto! I gots me a working tablet ^_^<br /><br />yay!<br /><br />now to play around and get the hang of it<br /><br /><br />so yeah... <a href="http://fala.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/fala.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfala:" title="fala"/></a> is awesome and I loves her, but not just because she gives me cool free stuff. She's already awesome as it is ^_^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy New Years my little duckies!<br />
<br />
I still haven't done anything in my new sketchbook, lol<br />
I started sketching a few times but ended up erasing it all<br />
<br />
Hopefully in this new year I'll be doing a lot more drawing...unfortunately I don't think I'll be submitting much of it. <br />
<br />
I don't want to rip any pages out of this sketchbook, so until I'm able to provide myself with a regular scanner that scans things lying flat on them rather than single pages sliding into it, I don't believe there'll be much activity from me here on DA<br />
<br />
but! that doesn't mean I won't be working ^_^<br />
I pretty much have everything I need now to get started on the Jak'lope comics AND!<br />
<br />
I've got yet another comic project in the works! lol<br />
A long distance friend of mine [Alexander] has a comic idea he wanted to make for his album [he's got an awesome band on myspace: <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=96797095],">[link]</a> so we talked and he's going to send me a script and sketches and I'll make the comic which he will incorporate into his newest album <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
so I'm excited about that as well!<br />
<br />
you may remember some fanart I did for him a while back   <a href="http://nocturnalblue.deviantart.com/art/SLEEPeR-52918822">[link]</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
so ya<br />
<br />
Happy New Years ^_^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ whilst doing some last minute Christmas shopping at wal mart last night I bought a sketch book.<br />
<br />
not the regular kind I buy...this one is one of the $10 hardcover ones<br />
<br />
Jaro talked me into it...without much effort <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
I didn't want to spend so much on just 80 sheets..but then I realized the regular sketch books I buy only have 70 sheets...the only thing is they're thicker and I like thicker paper...but this one had a hardcover...hardcovers are good...<br />
<br />
and then I realized I'm only going to go crazier and crazier if I don't get a freaking proper sketchbook so I bought it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
and now the fun part...I know what comes next<br />
<br />
I will hesitate to draw anything in this book for a long time because I will not want to ruin it by having scribbles and mess-ups and have to rip pages out...haha<br />
<br />
<br />
oh the life of me<br />
and my OCD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I haven't been able to draw too awful much lately<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I've realized the reason why<br />
<br />
<br />
it's quite simple really<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't have a freakin sketchbook!<br />
<br />
<br />
haha<br />
<br />
<br />
isn't that swell?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I mean, I do have 2 huge canvas bound sketchbooks but I hate those<br />
the paper is really thin and I don't like drawing on anything that isn't spiral bound...it makes the pages flatter and easier to draw on<br />
<br />
I have my awesome small spiral bound sketchbook with the yellow paper [I draw in it every now and then...I've actually been working on a piece] and I also have my awesome huge spiral bound sketchbooks with the yellow paper as well...which I still haven't even touched!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
but I just want regular sized paper =\<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm very particular about this stuff...I've been accustomed to regular sized paper<br />
<br />
when I feel like drawing on small of huge paper I do...but those are random occurrences<br />
<br />
for the most part I want to draw on regular sketch paper<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"why don't you just go to wal mart and buy one?"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I tried!<br />
<br />
twice!<br />
<br />
they're all out!<br />
<br />
they only have huge ones or the crappy non-spiral bound ones that have really thin paper that rips right out of the book once you turn the freaking page<br />
<br />
even in the art section!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
but I will persevere<br />
<br />
lack of drawing makes me very unhappy<br />
luckily I still manage to find stuff to doodle on....but I miss making actual pieces....and I want to get better....but how can I do that without practice?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'll get my hands on a sketchbook if its the last thing I do!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ for real people....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
...it's really sad when you don't and little "accidents" happen<br />
<br />
It took Jerry half an hour or so longer to leave tonight because 3 [adorable] kittens were just chillin under his car. <br />
They appeared pretty wild<br />
-scared of people [except one of them who I got to pet and hold and stuff ^^]<br />
-skinny <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
and they were all crying and even though we only saw three, I heard more of them so I know there were more than 3 around the neighborhood.<br />
<br />
When we got them all out Jerry was about to leave and one was just sitting by the driveway to my neighbors house and my neighbor came and almost ran over him, but luckily my neighbor saw it and slowed down and waited for us to go over there and make sure the kitten was out of the way.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was really hard for me to go back home without taking that adorable kitty <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
luckily it's pretty much impossible to freeze to death outside in Sarasota...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I actually finished my art trade and I'm all<br />
<br />
"ladee dah, I'ma gunna scan it now"<br />
<br />
"doodeedoo"<br />
<br />
<br />
wha?<br />
<br />
<br />
REJECTED!<br />
<br />
my scanner is being an A-hole again and not letting me scan doodly squat!<br />
<br />
so now my awesomeness boyfriend Jaro is going to fix it. He started on it last night and he's going to finish up today when he comes over. I hope that'll fix it because I wants to scan stuff!!!<br />
<br />
I'm going kinda crazy now too because I realized I don't have any more of my favorite kind of sketch books!<br />
<br />
I have 2 of the huge canvas bound sketchbooks<br />
I've drawn in them, but I really don't like them<br />
the damn paper is too freakin thin and I don't like it when the pages aren't spiral bound because then they never lay flat and it's hella annoying having the other page all in your way.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have my 2 awesome giant sketchbooks, but I only want to draw awesome huge or detailed stuff in that. I just wanna draw normal sized stuff right now =\<br />
<br />
I have my zebra book. That's great and all, but it's small...and like I said...I wanna draw normal sized stuff right now *pout*<br />
<br />
stupid wal mart was out of my perfect size sketchbooks!<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
<br />
that cloud emote it so cute! ^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A freakin tablet dammit!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
where can I find myself a reasonably priced tablet that wont give me a crapload of stress trying to figure out how to work<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I cleaned my room a little today...I can walk around in it a little better now<br />
I have a headache -.-" <br />
<br />
I got some stuffs I gotta work on...<br />
<br />
-I really need to finish Heather's shirt someday...I started that like...possibly over a year ago<br />
-I also need to get going on her commission piece<br />
<br />
-I really need to make Raj's doll. He gave me his human body book without charging me anything! those books are like $80. I told him I'd make him a stress doll then, but it's taken me so long!<br />
<br />
-After that I should make some more of those dolls seeing as I have a number of potential buyers. $$ is always good.<br />
<br />
-I have an art trade with <a href="http://noraneko.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/o/noraneko.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnoraneko:" title="noraneko"/></a> which I actually almost completed, but I ended up not liking it very much and I'm going to start over. I ended up trying to make it look the same as hers...and...well, for me that totally defeats the purpose of an art trade. It should be done strictly in your style and look more like your work. Why would someone want you to draw something exactly the way they draw it?<br />
<br />
-and I'm really wanting to make something special for Jaro. Just because.<br />
I somewhat have an idea [after going through many] but I'm not sure if it's really all that great. Still, it'll take a while to accomplish. I may end up changing my mind on what to do though.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Life is pretty chill so far<br />
school has been pretty breezy. I've been doing surprisingly well in all my classes so far.<br />
<br />
so far<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ so there's been something horribly wrong with my computer for the past couple months<br />
<br />
it's like a disease and has been spreading to different parts of my computer<br />
<br />
it appears it has finally reached my scanner<br />
<br />
<br />
from one day to the next, I am suddenly inexplicably unable to scan anything...or print for that matter...which would make school things difficult [thank God for my Jaro <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> ]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know when I'll be able to submit another drawing to either of my accounts =\<br />
<br />
<br />
maybe I'll start writing...*pitiful laugh*<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
wish me luck!<br />
<br />
and pray that a miracle heals my scanner!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ if I watch you and you've added both of my accounts and have only been added back by this one, or seem to only receive comments by this one...<br />
<br />
it's just because this is my comment/watch account and I mainly want my new account to just be for submitting art. I started adding people back when I first started it, but then I realized that was kind of redundant because I'd already see what my watches submitted with this account.<br />
<br />
I'm mostly on this account and only go on my new one to check it or submit new art I consider better.<br />
<br />
<br />
I just thought I should clear that up in case people started thinking silly things like...I didn't like them or something just because I didn't add them on my new account.<br />
<br />
just making sure<br />
<br />
*shrug*<br />
<br />
have a lovely day <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
<br />
I'm not really feeling lustful<br />
I just thought it was a funny icon and I'll probably never use it otherwise<br />
<br />
<br />
..and I'm in my undies<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so...<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to sell prints<br />
<br />
<br />
sure it's kind of a crappy deal what with the artist getting less than half the price of the sold piece...but I'm not really interested in making lots of money.<br />
<br />
I just kind of like the idea of selling my art.<br />
<br />
I'll make it pretty cheap too probably, which would result in me making VERY little money, but like I said, I'm not SO interested in that...that's what real jobs are for anyway ^_^<br />
<br />
<br />
so, I'm going to try to make some like...actual <b>good</b> art that someone might actually <b>want</b> to own.<br />
<br />
<br />
I looked through all my old stuff to see if there was something good enough to make available as a print but...not really...even the pieces I like aren't neat enough to be sold...so I'm just going to start over with it and try to make prettier pieces and not give in to laziness.<br />
<br />
<br />
still. I probably won't sell anything.<br />
If I make even 30 cents I'll be happy, lol.<br />
<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ so I made a new account<br />
<br />
<br />
I've wanted to for a very long time simply because of the fact that my username was not created by me...so...it's a cool name and all...but...I never really liked the fact that I've been using someone else's name.<br />
<br />
I want my art account to be ME<br />
<br />
however, I could not bring myself to delete this account<br />
<br />
it holds too many memories...I've had it for like 2 years<br />
<br />
so<br />
<br />
I'm just going to start putting stuff in my new account and just kinda leave this one for the sake of memories<br />
<br />
I might submit a couple of the pieces I have here to my new account...but for the most part the new account will be a fresh start in which I will primarily submit NEW works<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
of course it may take a while for me to make anything nice enough to put in it<br />
<br />
anyway...anyone who cares to see my artwork from now on can add my new account name: <br />
<br />
<a href="http://themuseinyourhead.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthemuseinyourhead:" title="themuseinyourhead"/></a><br />
<br />
I don't have anything up yet, and probably won't for a while...but there it is<br />
<br />
I may even end up only using it for artwork I like, and continue using this account for works I don't quite like as much...<br />
<br />
we shall see<br />
<br />
*peace!* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
<br />
p.s.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking it would be pretty freaking awesome if JameZ could make me an animated icon... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/embarrassed.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":blush:" title="Blush" /> heh... por favor?<br /><br /> ]]></description>
