In other news, my sub ran out, not that I used it all that much but everyone mentions it so there! And I'm excited, some of my photos will be up for show in my cousin's café all the way in Québec. Really happy!!

Hello peoples! Its's been a while, I know. And I probably would have waited longer if it weren't that I just bought myself a subscription to get 15% off Paiter 11. I picked the full boxed version, because I want it in UB... Ah, the joys of switching to Intel!!!:P But anyways, I seriously fell in love with the Real 2B pencil and the ability to see the tilt as I draw during my trial period. I'll finally be able to finish some stuff...

Been re-working a pic in Photoshop. And I have a pile of unfinished pics I intend to get to before I start on new ones... I probably won't be able to keep my word on this. It's one of my bad habits.

So, there should be a pic in the next week or two.

In other news, the move went well, although I kind of miss the countryside. Need more trees!!! Unfortunately, there's some costuction going on next door. Yay! So much for sketching outside. I'll need good headphones.

One fourth of the price I paid it approximately. It's an old PowerPC and it works as fast as when I got it (unlike a regular PC) despite my constant abuses... Um, It has a superdrive, reads and writes DVDs and CDs. There's just a tiny scratch on the screen. I even forgot it was there. And the keyboard is french but you can always buy a new one from Apple. The new keyboards are wicked cool too. No clear plastic that's always dirty anymore. My hopes aren't too up, but I'm willing to pitch in office if you pick it up. So, well, that's it for my computers. I've also been doing some thinking about many things. My writer/MSN buddy moved to BC and it's a 4-hour time difference... So I have litte motivation to go on MSN and get pestered by it every 15 or so minutes to log back in. It's probably my ISP being an ass. I'm really tired of half-loading pages. And I still don't have a date for the big move. The man who has my appartment has trouble getting his new place so it looks like it might be delayed. So I'm in a sort of sucky limbo. But I should get back to work. I have a few pieces coming along.

I have a picture coming up, I really do. I'm just stalled on the hair. Even the nose was less of a pain!!! Non-black hair is tricky! And I was hoping to post it before I go... It probably won't happen.

Why? Because I have a surgery scheduled for Friday. Yes, this Friday! So I'll be leaving Thursday and I should be out Saturday or Sunday... The surgery is to straighten my left foot. I'll have a cast for 6 weeks afterwards.

So, if I promised you something, it'll have to wait until I'm in drawing shape again.

It's been a while since my last entry. I apologize for disappearing like that. I wish I had something to make up for it but I don't...

At least the weather is getting nicer so I can go outside and stock up on energy and I feel like drawing again. I'm one of those sumlight sensitive people that suffer all through winter.

And just when you decide to get working all sorts of things happen: guests, new desk, books to read ect... My cat got hit by a car at the end of april. I was sad. He wasn't even one year old.

Read some good books too. "Hitching Rides With Buddha" is a journey through Japan by a canadian guy. A good book to learn about japanese culture. Then I read "Beijing Confidential". It's written by a canadian-chinese jounalist who tried to find and apologize to someone she ratted on during the cultural revolution. There's also a good deal of Beijing history. And I'm reading a book on british history, another one on feminism and I'm gonna start the Millenium series. Where am I gonna find the time to draw?

I thought it was a good time for an update; I've been putting it off long enough.

I came back from rehab like a month and a half ago. I worked on my request, hoping to finish it before christmas, but, that obviously didn't happen. Stuck in sticky spots again... I hope to finish it soon, because I have some personal project floating in the back of my head, and I want to start them. But, I'll have to be away from the computer when the renovation guys get started on my window sill. Lotsa dust and crap...

Expect some pencil sketches!

Art resolutions...
1. Landscapes & background
2. Part of full body shots
3. Colour theory and/or experimentations

I'm not sure if they'll last a month, but I feel they're necessary to expand my art.

Anybody have resolutions of their own like that?

I'm taking some time to update you on the whole rehab thing. As I suspected, its all about my ankles. I'm lucky enough to escape the surgery! I also won't be getting new braces, instead it's gonna be medication for my spasms and straps for my feet. And from what I can see, they're thinking about keeping me longer. @#$%!!! So, I'm just home for the weekend, and going back tomorrow. I was planning on calling up my friends and spending some time together, but that didn't happen. I just need some time away from it all.

And even if I don't post much here, I still visit somewhat regularly with the computer there. I just have trouble getting myself to write because 1. PCs are such a pain and 2. privacy. I'll answer comments, but not write journal entries. So, if you've been holding back comments, it's the time.

I sincerely hope this doesn't last too much longer. I'm supposed to meet with an editor sometime...

I want to get on with my life!

So I'm thinking on stocking up on some books. Apparently, there's gonna be a Chapters close by and there's some manga I'd like to put my hands on like some D.Gray-man. Plus the other series I'm following: SDK, Threads of Time, Archlord an Death Note. Basilisk is done, sadly. I want to see more from that artist!

But, I should probably continue the work on my own project. Do some sketches and stuff. Give some thought to the rest of the story, not just the main characters. The hiatus seems to be over. I'll try posting some WIPs in my scraps because it'll be a while until I update again with me being away from my dear tablet and all. It may be a good time to get some more work on anatomy.


And I've made the first payment on my student loan... Ouchies!!!!

First off, I'm having a lot of trouble with the piece I'm working on. I mean, I tried coloring it like 3 times and did a complete resketch but I'm still not cool with it. I'm still trying though.

I put the graphic novel project on hold because the piece above in eating up my energies. That and writing lo-tech is really annoying me.

And in somewhat unrelated news, it seems I'll probably need surgery to staighten out my left ankle. I'm at a point where I just want something done. So, I have to get X-rays done first and then we'll see.

My mom bought me "The Secret" (Yes, that book everybody's reading) as a thanksgiving gift. Its the first time I heard of thanksgiving gifts, but I think it just a pretext or something. And I bought more books at Chapters yesterday: Pixel Surgeons, Imagemakers, the final Basilisk, and Death Note 6. Now, I have something to do at work because there's no clients.

And lastly, I'd like to say it might be a while until I get back to my usual self on MSN. It's because I'm away from the computer during week days and I can only work on my art evenings and weekends. So, if you need anything, please email, note, PM.... me or something.

I'm currently working on that giftart/request for my friend. It's coming around slowly, very slowly. Why? Because once again, I rushed into it without enough planning. So, right now I'm questionning my choice of colors, and some disproportions are popping in my face. With some hope, I'll have some WIPs to show soon.

I'm also in the process of readying one of my stories for graphic novel adaptation. This, I can do while I'm working for my mom because I can do it lo-tech... pen and paper XD! It's a story I've been brewing for years; since, I dunno, twelfth grade... Hard to remember. The storyline changed a whole lot, but it's been pretty steady for the last year or so. I've been wanting to try my hand at this for a while and I hope it goes well.

I've got some future projects I wanna do (that's why I really need to kick myself in the butt). My mom asked me to do a portrait with reference for once, anf if it's good, I could get commissions from people here. Happily, she didn't specify who I should use.... Mwuhaha!! I've chosen my victims already, and sadly, Ruki (from gazette) will not be part of them. There's already a lot of pictures of him on dA. So th's next, after I finish my friend's pic. Another project is an hommage to Bleach (More comonly called fan art). I know I'm contradicting myself... But there's a high probability this one will be dropped. And I'm also thinking of more serious stuff to eventually turn into an exhibit.

It's so not the same thing when you're on your own. Especilly when you have little discipline like me. I'm too much of a peace-loving, let-it-be person.

Directives: List ten things about your art, then tag ten people to do the same. Make sure you comment their page. They're on the bottom of the entry...

(I'm not tagging people though. If you want to do it, feel free.)
(Edited no. 6 to better reflect my views, and to be less offensive. It was never my intention to offend anybody. Sometimes, I don't think things through beforehand. Sorry.)

1. I've been drawing/painting/arting for as long as I remember. My mom has a picture of me at 18 months with a paintbrush in my hand!

2. Art has always been very important in my life. It's like I can't go on without doing something creative; it's like the breath of life. My hand will get itchy if I try not to. I will draw on anything...

3. I used to get told off for drawing in class.

4. My style has evolved a lot with time and my interests. I currently draw a mixture of manhwa and realism. (At least, it try) I used to be very concerned about drawing like some other people, but it's only the foundation of further creativeness. My professor once said:"You will not always draw like that" to one of my classmates and I find it comforting.

5. Copying is one of my biggest pet peeves, all the way up there with tracing. I guess it can't be helped, some people just don't get it. I think it is very uncreative and unethic. People who put their own style out there are brave and true.

6. I rarely draw fan art. Cashing in on other's ideas is awkward to me. I feel so sad when I look throug endless pages of fan art. I mean, when it's a new and refreshing twist on things, it can be very interesting; but most of the time, it's just almost the same thing, just, drawn by someone else. In those cases, I find the artist is missing the point; the drawing lacks a soul.
(There, I hope it's less offending)

7. I'm always learning and I don't think theres an end to my quest.

8. I'm very meticulous and perfectionistic. It's gotta be my downfall! I work like cravy on most of my stuff, only to lose the spark along the way. That's the aries in me: interested in starting thing, but soon becomes bored and leaves things unfinished. (That's scary!)

9. My dream job is to be an illustrator. I'll probably have to write the stories myself, but if that's what it takes, I will. The limits of my imagination are no problem...

10. I've made the plunge towards digital, but I still enjoy traditionnal a lot.

It's back to school soon so I'll be keeping an eye on my mom's shop while she's working. It feels kind of odd because i'm not going back to Moncton. It's sad in a way too. I hope it won't dampen my creative spirit too much!

And we finally got hi-speed!!! Wooh! I'm so happy and indulging in fast loading pages, continous streams and short download times. The internet is finally fun again! Hopefully, more posts will come out of it.

I've got my fingers crossed, I sent my resume to the local paper and I haven't got a response yet. It's a graphic design job so I'm qualified all right. So I'll keep hoping...

I know I said I would update soon and I'm not working anymore, so I should have more time. It just happens I told my sister I could fix her pictures before she gets them printed. I didn't think there would be this many. So yeah, I'm not done, but it shouldn't be too long. I got some pictures started that hopefully I'll finish someday...

I'm such an aries!

Plus, I'm going Mtl with my dad this weekend and coming back on my sisters birthday. We'll try to make it in time to catch a showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Beside, I'm reading a book by James Faure Walker called: "Painting the Digital River". A good read about traditional and digital painting. The author reflects about the future of painting and what is digital art, if it can be real art and not just popular culture... I picked it up sometime this winter and I finally have some time to read it.

I picked up a new manhwa last Saturday! I mean, what's better than realistic manga? Realistic Manhwa!!! Hehe, the title is "Archlord", it's for 13+ (if I recall correctly) and it's Action/Fantasy. Archlord is based off a game (MMORPG?) and is the usual berayal, power-hungry types and the hero that will fullfil his destiny... But the art is amazing and the story is a fun read. I like it! I got Basilisk 4 too. Been flipping through the pages a lot, especially the first chapter. Lovely character design and OMG, they killed Hyouma!!! *tears* Its 3 vs 3 now? I wonder how they'll manage to get Tenzen. Sorry, but, I hate him! And I will have to order some. Chapters doesn't carry Threads of Time in store anymore and Death Note 4 was missing (even if they have like 20 copies of number 11) and I desperately want to read Samurai Deeper Kyo. The anime series is too short! 26 episodes for like 20+ mangas. Now, that's a crime, seriously.

So, expect some manga-influenced stuff, and some realism, if my head doesn't explode before then.

And, we're going to get faster internet someday. My mom's not too keen on that idea and my dad has an awful conception of time. So, it might be like next year!

I'm still brewing over some ideas, commission prices and stuff. One of them is a "request a sketch" week. And cards, bookmarks, calendars etc . What do you think? Am I in over my head?

I'm done university, passed all my classes and getting ready for graduation. A few hours sitting in a stuffy stadium waiting out the speeches and all the protocol. Everyone in photo class will be there so I wont be bored as much. Hopefully, I'll be sitting near them. It's five hour ceremony and no one's allowed to leave before we do. Mwuhahaha!!!

My mom's paying me to keep an eye on her second-hand bookstore. So far, I made 100$ and there hasn't been a single customer yet. That means sketching and drawing with traditionnal media because I can't bring my computer along.

I'm trying tho get myself to ink a lineart I did but I really suck and my patience is running out. I think I'll try a more realistic approach and play more with colour theory. I also have a fanart I'm proud of and will be uplading soon. I need to resize it and stuff.

And we might be getting hi-speed and have a wireless network in the house! If it wasn't for studend loans, I'd help in paying for it. But my dad was already interested so I just have to make sure he keeps some momentum!

I feel kind of stressed by my student loan and havng no plans for the future. Going freelance has it's ups and downs I guess. I'm going over some ideas I had for a while. I'm thinking of making calendars, card... stuff to sell. And open up for comissions... My artistic career is also giving me headaches. Lots of questions to think about.


But that'll be for next time!

As for the opening, it was nice. I was presented to the crowd. I found out I have an interest in occult stuff, well, that's what the head of department said. He got me looking it up in the dictionary! I guess he's not wrong but somehow sacrificing lambs is not my type. XD
I got countless compliments on my prints and a few on my photos. I guess it shows that prints is really my thing. I even fooled some peolple who thought it was a lithograph!!! instead of an inkjet print. And I hope the department buys something! Framing was so expensive!!!
My mom liked my prints, and I think she's hoping to put them in our living room. But that's if no one buys and I hope some one does. The thing is that my mom usually criticizes my subject matter and she says I always draw the same thing! So that touched me.
Plus, came despite the bad weather. It was nice to see her again. I feel like I could continue in art. I feel so much stronger now that I went through all this. I am an artist! I feel like I can really claim it now!!!

I have to tie myself to my books and study my spanish. The exam is tonight at 7h and I'm trying to start studying. I just can't! I toss and I turn and I am writing this journal because I can't seem to be able to concentrate.

Tomorrow is the big day! The day I turn 22! I feel old! lol

I don't have to do another project for prints. My prof said that my continuation from last session's project counted as this sessions project. That was a load off my shoulders! All I have to do is prepare a display for my global warning fans that I'm going to do tonight, and a portfolio of my work. We will apparently will have to do a presentation of our work and it will be open to the public!! And I have an exam project in photo. Ten images that fit in together. It's worth less in term of percentage that the big project for the exhibit even if it is the exam.

After that, I'm going home and try to find some work. I have pesonnal projects I want to do. That means I'll hopefully post more and sound a bit more interesting, because right now, I'm only talking about classes and projects, and I figure it gets annoying after a while.

I have a few WIPs to get to when I'm done. Should probably put them up in scraps, but I'm not sure I wan to expose their crappiness.

Well, I have an elf wip but that doesn't really make the cut... I was just trying out a new colouring method in Photoshop. He looks cool though. I hope to finish it someday and have it up here. But it might be a while since I don't do well under pressure. Hehe, I keep doing stupid silly stuff and I puked my supper last Sunday night. So, yeah, poor me!

Otherwise, I think I'm doing Ok. I was accepted in a Gaian Art Mentors guild on Gaia Online. I haven't posted a mentor thread there yet since I have so little time to devote to it right now, but there will be one. So, if you're a Gaian, if you draw and like my stuff, juin the guild.

I was also asked to do posters for the drawing marathon. And I'm getting paid for it! Woot! I'll ask if my inscrption fee can be deduced. As you can see, I'm really looking forward to it. We had sooo much fun last year!

Gantz, I wanted to check that anime out for a while. Ever since I saw some sample page of my big book about manga. (For those who are wondering, It's published by Taschen, and is more of a sample of big manga-kas with a little text about them. Plus it comes with a DVD of interviews of three manga-kas and bookshops owners and 900 manga covers!) Well, I've only seen three episodes as I speak because my computer is a bit overloaded at the moment (Like me!).

I crammed it with new music too. I got most of the opening and ending themes for Bleach. That series has got me addicted! And Mika Nakashima's The End album (It has the tunes from the NANA movie, there's a second in the making supposedly!!) and Miyavi's latest:Miyaviuta - Dokusou (All the tracks are acoustic and very interesting). I'm stil discovering that last one. But Miyavi is Miyavi so!

And I need some seeders for ALvino's first single. The song is Snow Line, but whoever put it on Youtube titled it Snow Scene and thinks Shota is ugly! I can't really say, I discovered them because I'm a Jun fan so I'm probably a bit biased! If you check it out, Jun (ex-PIERROT member) is the shortest guitarist (left), Shota is the singer (center) and Koji (ex La'cryma Christi member) is the other guitarist (right). The clip is simple and the is very nice. Shota's voice is nice though his "acting" could be better I suppose.

Well, I definitely need to get some work done. Next journal entry will probably be when I feel I've reached a momentum. Who knows when that will be.

I'm home until the dorms open in January. My computer and my tablet came with me and I've drawing alot since I got here. I finally got Painter IX.5!!! The delivery guy left the package in the greenhouse window, meaning anyone could have just picked it up since that door isn't locked and if I hadn't noticed it, it would still be there.

More Christmas shopping tomorrow. I need to find peresents for my dad and the gift exchange. Only one of my cousins is coming down and my sister is god knows where. I'm gonna try and come ub with something new to post for the holidays, or crop my ever so cute lil' santa from the postcard for my sister.

Anyways, have fun and I'll see you when I can.

Finished my work for photo, yay! I handed in the mini project for the massacre at the "École Polytechnique de Montréal". It will be on display upsairs in the art department. I think mine's fairly recognizabe since I signed the text and I think it's safe to say my drawing is manhwa-ish. And my exam project is at the printer, I'm waiting for the guy to call or e-mail me.

I've got some spanish homework which will most probably be the next thing I do. Spanish is actually really easy for me so I don't think it'll take me that long.

And finally, the printmaking exam... Less than a week to go and I have a little over a half of my images done, that also means I haven't printed anything yet!! I have an appointment with my prof tomorrow afternoon so there might be some hope. I'm sort of tired of working on it, that's why photo was so refreshing!

My last exam is on Monday morning! I can't wait to be free!

My mom asked me if I'd like books by Christian Jacques for Xmas since I was glued to my Pharaoh game. He's not an author I've read before, but since I like all things ancient egyptian, I'm a bit excited. And I'll actually have loads of time to read it.

And I finally found subbed episodes of Tenpou Ibun Ayakashi Ayashi. My japanese knowledge enabled me to sort of follow what was going on in the first episode I got, unsubbed. Character design by Toshihiro Kawamoto!!! Haha, marvel at the beautiful art! I've only seen the first one, but the story sounds interesting. It's historically based with some supernatural and lovlie bishies, lol. Yukiatsu sort of reminds me of Spike Spiegel and maybe Kiba, a bit. The music is good, I don't kow who did it but it's nice.

And I'm still in my Jrock phase! I'm listening to PIERROT right now and I love it. Luckily, the Guy at centigrade-J likes them too so the lyrics are all there along with the translations... I love Kirito!! Really, some good lyrics. They're all tainted darkly with a certain ambiguosity... My favorite! And he pokes at the USA with God Bless XmeXXXX. Can you guess what the X's stand for? And PIERROT's videos are cool, unliike some of L'Arc's (Don't tell me they couldn't have done better with Jiyuu e no Shoutai) and the freaky Gackt ones (Vanilla! Song and clip do NOT go together). Kirito use a lot of refernces to drugs ans doing drugs but claims he and the don't do them. I'm not sure if I'll believe that. Find the 'Kirito with a knife' vid on Youtube. He probably didn't want to have the same thing that happened to L'Arc when Sakura was busted for pot. Perfecty understandabe! But the guy at Centigrade-J belives him because he s says Kirito is too much of a control freak for that. PIERROT disbanded last year 'cause the other guy didn't want to continue so its possible. I'll have to get back at you on this one. Kirito is also very cute despite the plucked eyebrows, so I'll be looking for a new wallpaper XD to replace Athrun.

On another note, I moved my some of drawings to DVDs, deleted anime music that I had in doubles and cleaned up my SD2 Downloads folder and freed 10Gbs on my computer, woah!

And for now, I'll get back to work.

Have a nice day and take care!

And there's photo... I lost the film for my Holga camera, so I brought my digital camera, hoping I'd be able to photoshop it into looking like a Holga. Unfortunately, the batteries died as I was taking my third or fourth shot. And I didn' bring my charger so I have to wait until I go back to university to see what I took. It was so nice with the clouds and the setting sun. I really feel bad for missing it.

And on tuesday morning I have to go beg my prints prof not to put up my first projet. It's so horrible! Totally not me...

And I'm trying to gauge if I'll be able to do my xmas postcards like I tought. It might end up just being a few select people or everybody gets the same... I don't know and don't get your hopes too high about that.

On another tone, I finally got my wacom tablet I was trying to order. Still need a little getting used to... I have a pic for a friend in progress. It was supposed to be his birthday present, but it looks like it'll take me a while. Damn anthros! I might post the sketch in my scraps later.

I was also thinking of taking the 100 pics challenge. The original poster had meant for the pic to be drawings, but I intend to take it as wacom tablet practice. If and when I'll take it, I'll post the rules and list here.

I'm also trying to find inspiration for photo! But, now that I got my internet back I'll lurking around again. Superheroes for next week...

And philo, a synthesis of Marx and Hegel for next week. I'd normally be pulling my hair but I got an A on my mid-term so I'm feeling all enthusiastic!!!

I'll also resume my study of japanese since Sherlock, Reading Tutor and Jeff's Dictionnary server will be accesible now. I love internet!

Next post will be sometime... I might put up a thumbnail of my prints for the book.

Only one month left 'till I go back for my third year. I can't wait to see everybody... and the little first years!

I'd write more but alas it is 12 o'clock past and I could use the sleep. Nine days of work left! Oh, I hope I don't get stuck doing it again next year! The paycheck ain't bad but I'd like to do something else for it.

I got canvases and ink last tuesday so I have something to keep me busy with. And I hope to get my illustrative skills a tune up. I'm partial to anime, but I feel I should have my own, unique style, other than my crazy crosshatching! So hopefully something good will come of it... Got some birthday cards to do too.

That means I've been up to something and I had some time off too to be able to put it up. Yeah, they're pictures I took last thursday night. Our teacher was teaching the wiling how to make pinholes (hand-made cameras) and how to use some really old ones she had. It was fun! We took a long break at the student lounge. There was pizza, pop and kareoke since it's our fac's week. That was nice too, but it made us stay until like eleven o'clock!! I really didn't notice the time going by, only that I was growing increasingly tired...

Now, I've got to work on my sculpture... a LOT!!! Yeah, I'm falling behind. I've got two on the go and it would be extra nice to have them done by the week after the march "break". I think i'll have to stay during the week to work on it instead of going home...

And this week's drawing session is going to be interesting. A pregnant model... and in color too! We have our old drawing teacher back for two weeks since the one we have now is away.

I still have other stuff to do so...

Apart from that I'm doing okay. Busy as always... two weeks ago I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's getting better though... I'm happy for that. I have a sculpture and a drawing on the go and I'm supposed to start on more stuff this week. And exams and quizzes... oh crap!

Term's only starting Tuesday in honor of a old prime minister who passed away last week. That means I have to wait until Wednesday to see my friends again. I'm sure they didn't take philosophic anthropology... and maybe they're the smart ones! Art history doesn't start until next week!!! I wonder if I can repeat my B+... That was a surprise! Maybe my professor was feeling generous.
This time around it's Theory of Modern Art. It should be more interesting than the others... I also took language study instead of litterature because the one I wanted was full and nothing I wanted fits in my schedule. This is no weeping matter, unless it turns out worse than litt!

Until it gets crazy again, I'll be able to work on some things. That means more posts, yay!!

I got my little spotlight this morning in drawing class! My friend told me my drawings were really good. Now, I'm flattered because his are usually amazing!!! Our teacher had us drawing with black geso on these huge pieces of paper, and our brushes were duct-taped on these long sticks. The teacher really liked mine, he told me that they looked like japanese writing when I start out! And he told all the class to come and have a look...

Still have to figure out something for sculpture. I had an idea but there was a part of it I couldn't figure out. I went to see my teacher with it. He told me that I had a good idea to start with but that I should try no to set myself on the first thing that pops into my mind. I looked at my lamp in another perpective... And I do hope the sparks fly!!!

I got my robot drawing back and a beautiful overall note of 83 for my last three project, even if I didn't hand in my exercices and they were supposed to count. That teacher rocks! I'm gonna miss him next session. Anyways, I promised my friend I'd put it up so I will. Maybe tomorrow...

Should be going to bed but I'm amazingly not tired. I haven't had a real night's sleep in a while. That's one of the main reasons I'm looking forwards to the holidays.

I'm currently listening to the radio at work. Many of the songs they play, they played so often that, or I don't enjoy them as much as I used to or I just plain hate them now. That goddamned Britney Spears-ey type of so-called music... The one songs I really like, I can never seem to hear it. I shouldn't complain, I have the CD but...

I can't (or shouldn't say) that I'll update tonight. My mind usually goes astray and I end up doing something else. But I have to print my schedule off the net so there's a chance I might actually do what I say. I don't know how it's going to turn out but...

(Gosh, that's a lot of buts!)

Nevertheless,
Take care,

I got my schedule done earlier today. I was really excited about that because I can't wait to leave for university and see all my friends again! We haven't kept in touch this summer so I'm pretty much wondering what they're up to. Being on my own is not so bad as I used to think before I first left. I can't say it was tearless at first but it was certainly eye-opening...

I have to go back to work. My shoulder just pains me so much! I'll try to come back tonight and actually post something. It's kind of embarrassing to have an account in an artist community and not have posted any of my work!

Take care,
