For those who have no idea what I'm talking about I got given Dark Passion Play by my gorgeous boy, Nightwish's latest album.
Nightwish are a kind of gothic powermetal band. (I suck at classification)
They recently got a new singer, so there's been a little bit of debate over whether their new stuff would be any good.

Well it certainly is.
I've loved all of Nightwish's albums, each one is fantastic in it's own way. I also love them because it's one of the few metal bands I can sing along to easily.

I'm currently addicted to Amaranth, the chorus is fantastic:

Caress the one - the Never Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snowwhite sorrow
Caress the one - the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Leodragon

A good friend of mine who's drawings are always really great. They're colourful, and fun. She has a very distinctive style.


This one is great. The girl is so cute! And the colours that she used work really well.


Alice is just fun Purely fun.


I love the feeling of this picture. It's really sweet


techheadfred

Another great artist who's magnetic poetry has kept me amused while I've been spending time "doing schoolwork" I also love his photography and drawings.


So cute! It's a really sweet shot.


I love the feeling in this. It's so energetic, and good fun.


And this is the first in a great set of magnetic fridge poetry. Check them all out, they're good fun to read.


angelfacebabigurl

A great writer I've only just started looking at. Can't wait to see more of her work up!


This peice is very touching. You really feel for kids in that situation when you read this.


This one I like simply because it's fun and a bit naughty


And I like this one because it feels so free. I love the feeling in it, and can relate to it in some ways.

Some more features coming up soon.

Thought I might try something kinda meaningful today:



“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” - Source unknown



I've been thinking a lot about this lately. Mostly because I seem to have had a fair bit of contact with some pretty heavily religious people recently. And those people are mostly Christians. Which got me thinking about what it is that I have against that religion. I'm not going to pussyfoot around pretending that I'm not going to offend anyone, because I don't care. This is my thoughts on the issue, and if you don't like them then I ask to you be thoughtful and combat with proper arguments,and not just flame me.



Please consider that the following are impressions I've gathered from my contact with the religion, and it's followers. They're not just crap I've made up.



1. The basis of the religion - I find it very troubling that the followers of Christianity blindly follow a book that was written thousands of years ago simply as a measure of explaining things that society had no concepts of. Things like the creation of the earth and all its wonders in 7 days, the story of Noah's ark, or Moses parting the water, are just plain silly. They are simply stories. Take for example the concept of genesis, the whole world being created in just 7 days by God. Now, this is all well and good as a story because people didn't understand how the world was actually created. But when people have proof that there is a much more suitable explaination, to continue on with this concept as being solid fact, is foolish. It frustrates me to see people who discount the concept of evolution (which has been proven) because of a story written as exactly that: a story.

I'll come back to that in a bit. First I'll look at other stories in the bible. Take the tale of Samson, a man whos power fails when his hair is cut. Clearly that is not a realistic tale. Or the one of Noah's ark. A man being able to build an ark, fill it with two of each animal (which must of course have been sexually viable), and sail it through a flood that lasted 40 days and 40 nights. This is just so out there that most would say that it's just a story.

But let me ask you, why, in a book that has tales of such bizareness that they are clearly simply stories, do some sections get given more credibility than others? Why are people happy to say that a flood of that magintude is false, yet the world being created by an unseen entity is true, even though it's written in the same book? It just seems very strange that this connection is not made by many who follow the religion.



2. Contraditions

There are a number of contradictions in the bible, yet the people who live their lives by it seem to pick and choose which they will follow. For example, Moses was given the commandment that 'You shall not kill', yet later on in the bible there is a story of David killing Goliath and being hailed a hero for it. How then, do people still maintain credibility in this book?



3. The leaders

I have, during my life (although short it may be), been constantly shocked by the leaders of this religion. They preach things they themselves don't follow, they follow old rules without question and condem those who don't do the same, they look upon others as being lesser beings, they assume a position of knowledge even though they themselves haven't got the knowledge required to help others.

I think here I'd like to add that this doesn't just go for Christianity. One of the saddest stories I've ever heard is of a woman in Afghanistan being asked, if she was allowed one thing in the world, what would it be. To which she replied "I'd like to be able to read the Qur'an so that I can see if I've been lied to". Which just sickened me.

I also recently saw on TV a man asking his local pastor how to deal with a gay person he was having to interact with. He was told to treat them like they have the plague. Now, how is it right that a person of such hight stature, who obviously is treated with respect, is allowed to be predjudiced against people simply due to an assumption gained from either a book that (as I have already discussed) is filled with innacuracies, or from somebody else equally misinformed. That kind of blind following sickens me, and to then use your own religion as a reason to treat someone so poorly is wrong.



4. The attitude

I've met many people who follow Christianity and many of them irrita... ]]> ~quietsketches http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/13332901/ http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/13332901/ Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:39:36 PDT
Here are the rules:

*The first five people who reply to this journal get put up here, along with three of my favorite deviations by them.
*But you have to put this in your journal as well, so no cheating!
*You must also be watching me.
*You can only be featured once, so if you caught a previous meme and happen to respond in time, I will probably just skip you.
*The selected features will be posted on Sunday.

Ready, Steady, Go!

Not much to say, life going pretty awesomely. Can't wait till exams are over. I need a new job.

I also need to figure out how to tell a friend she's depressed, and needs to get some help, because she can't rely on me to help her through it (which is what she tried to do, and now is angry at me because I couldn't help her out)

I promise some photos will be up SOON! As well as some art fingers crossed.

Orright, seeya soon

1. South Australia is still dusty

2. I hate having to do essays

3. I got a new camera. But not just any camera. A Pentax K100D DSLR... as a present from my parents for my birthday.


You may now envy me

Nah, I promise I'll put it to good use. There's a couple of photos I've got in mind already, so hopefully I'll get those worked out and be posting up with maddness photography soon.

And that's all for now

Not much going on... yet so much going on aswell.

Trying to get all my schoolwork dealt with before I go away. That's just tedious. Also trying to get better before I go away, so I can perform my best.

Where am I going? Burra! It's in SA and I'm going to the Australian Orienteering Championships over there. It's a big comp for me because I'm also trying out for the Junior World Orienteering team (obviously to run for Australia ) and the 4 days over Easter are one of the selection trials *nervous* I'm up against some tough compertition, so I'm very nervy.

When I get back I will post a decent journal with featurey goodness for yas all!

*cannot describe current feelings of happiness*

Seriously, this is the LAST thing I expected, These guys are fantastic. Honestly, I love you two so much. I don't know how I can ever thank you enough ^^ I promise to use my powers for good. Expect much tagging of your work

Check out their work. Two guys that I really truly admire. Kradz's art never fails to be brilliant, and Klips' photography has improved out of site to the point where he's become one of the best photographers I know. Both of them are so tallented.

I have the best friends in the world.

Seriously, I feel fantastic. I don't know what it is exactly. But I'm just in a super mood. I don't feel down at all.
It usually takes having people around me to feel this good, but I'm feeling like it all the time. And it's only started happening very recently. I love this feeling, if there was a way to spread it around I need to know it, because it's great.

I have a new addiction song. Simply Being Loved - BT. Soo good.

I've been drawing more. Just trying to do more drawings, get my speed better. The quicker I can draw the same thing, the better.

I think for me it's quite possibly music. Music to me provides so much. The way thoughts and feelings can be expressed by something so wide spread is fantastic to me, and I don't know how I'd cope if it were gone.

When I'm down I listen to music to cheer me up
I use music as motivation to get going
Music wakes me up in the morning
The freedom I feel dancing spurs from music
To feel calm I play music

.....wihtout music my life feels quiet. It's a gift, one that words can't be put around.

I use this gift myself, and share it with others so that they may feel its power.

I hate myself. I'm too fucking open with people. I need to learn when and with who I can openly express myself, otherwise I'll just keep getting hurt like I usually do. I've got to stop being such an open book with people, letting them read and feed on my emotions.

I knew it wouldn't last anyway, as soon as anything starts going rather well in my life something else will come along and kicks me in the face. Clearly I've done something shitty and now karma's getting even with me or something, because I honestly can't think of what else it could be.

So from now on I'm only going to open up to those who I really trust (and there's not that many of you out there) and the rest .... I'm not sure, but it won't be the same. Something has got to change here, and I think it's me.

Over and out - hef

I GOT MY JEANS YESTERDAY!
They're made to fit me, so they're looooooong.
(For those who don't know, I'm very tall and so have never had a pair of jeans
fit me before)
They're the best pair of jeans I've ever worn. So comfy! They feel like PJ's cos
they were pre-washed at the place that made them so they're super soft!

I really could rave about these jeans for ages, but I won't.
Instead I'll tell you where to get them.

If you also have trouble getting jeans then this is the place to look:

Apparently there's a fairly well known concept about having a hierarchy of needs. And until you fill one need the next can't really be done. These are in order of the one you want most to the one that is least important.
1. Physiological (eg. Hunger, thirst)
2. Safety (eg. Housing, money)
3. Love or belongingness (eg. Intimacy)
4. Esteem (eg. Respect from peers)
5. Self-actualisation (eg. Creative art, service to others)

Well, I think I'm still trying to work on number 3 which is why I'm not totally happy. I have got 4 really, and 5 isn't too bad, but I don't feel complete due to not having number 3.



Or I could just be pulling crap out of my ass.
On brighter news, I might post up some more stuff later.

I'm currently abit down because I'mm worried about not being as slim as I feel I should be. My family keeps commenting/teasing me about the fact that I'm abit podgy on my hips. This didn't use to worry me, but I'm getting more and more concerned about it. I don't know what to do, because I'm pretty healthy,but the more I keep thinking about this problem, the more I notice other things that are wrong with me, and it gets me really down.

I've been worried about having a tummy and podgy hips for a while now though, that's why I've never owned a bikini or anything, because I'm too self concious.

*sigh* I hate feeling unattractive.

I don't expect comments, I just want to get this off my chest. ]]> ~quietsketches http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9880991/ http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9880991/ Mon, 28 Aug 2006 05:32:20 PDT
Ahem,
[begin rant]

Lately I've been reading alot of things people have written complaining about how screwed up the world is, how much is wrong with it, how there's so much crap happening.

I agree with what they say alot of the time. The world IS screwed up, there IS so much wrong with it, and there IS so much crap happening.

But that's not the problem The thing that gets up my nose is that these people sit and bitch and complain but never DO anything about it. And that pisses me off.

Often these people lead fantastic lives with so much going well for them. They don't realise that they have all the power to make a difference. It is possiable for everyone to make a difference every day.

You don't have to stop a war, you don't have to cure cancer, you don't have to feed a nation. Hell you don't have to do anything particularly heroic.

All you need to do is make a friend smile when they're sad. Or help somebody with something they're struggling with. Or read the news so that you can start thinking about the world. Or even (if you're keen) take the first steps towards learning about a disease so that someday you might be able to help those that suffer.

If something really pisses you off. And I mean REALLY irks you then for goodness sakes:
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Those who think they can't make a difference are those shut away from the world. They need to wake up and take a look around them. Nobody is ever going to shake the world. It's not possible. But what you can do, and you can do this every single day, is make whatever part of the world you're reaching just that bit better. If everybody did this imagine how much better it would be.

[/end rant] kinda

Here's my proposition. I want everyone who reads this to think about 7 things they did over the last week (even more would be great, but try to get one a day) that made whatever part of the world they were in better. If you don't think you did anything then think about what you could have done, or what you would do the next time that situation arose.

That's all for now
Just remember - it's always on you

Currently I'm thinking of

Heffer - Queen of misreading situations

or perhaps

Heather - Lord of not knowing when to keep her mouth shut

or (this one is perhaps my favourite)

Heffer - Run the hell away. And fast. For gods sakes, do it now.

The grass folds beneath my shoes then stands back up again shortly after. My footprints there momentarily, then as nature reclaims it role I disapear.

I walk along.

The sky far above me. The rain bringing it closer. I tilt my face and look above, letting the rain fall on my cheeks, waking me, clearing my troubles.

I walk along.

As I go I feel the glow spread inside me, wrapping itself around me, and suddenly the cold vanishes, the sadness goes and I feel life returning to me. I run, jump and eventually rest exhausted letting the rain clean me for the new day.

I walk along, ready for the new day.

I've started to realise what defines me as a person. What my personality is like. My strange quirks which seperates me from the person sitting next to me on the bus. Some I like, some I don't. But ... I don't think I'll change much anyway. In someways it's peoples faults that makes them so interesting. How boring would a perfect person be? I think very.

Hmmm, that's my speculation for the moment. ]]> ~quietsketches http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9633001/ http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9633001/ Mon, 07 Aug 2006 19:17:20 PDT
without hope we would be empty shells. dreamless, inspirationless ...

with hope we have the opening to be hurt, to be sad ...

so hold your hope to you, but don't count on it.

hope is only wishes, but only slightly more polished







I'm in a drawing mood, I may post something up soon .... if I can get a drawing to work!! *throws materials around in the hope that will help* gah! nothing for it but to keep trying ...
I'm having immense trouble with lips currently.......... they just dont work for me

Now count your numbers and multiply by three.
Then title this "MY LIFE IS % HAPPY"

Well turns out my life is 93% happy.

This test is a load of shit. Here's my reasoning:

You never cry more than twice a month - Yes, I have cried more than twice a month, but that doesn't make me unhappy

You know what is going on in the world - I know, and it makes me sad. Hmmmm, abit odd really that it should contribute to my life being happy

I could give examples about each one, but I'm not going to, because I realise that it's just a stupid internet test thing. Ah well, all in all I'm a very happy person. I love my life, I love my friends, I love what I do, who I am, and I look forward to who I may become.

LATER DAYS!! <3 <3

I'm tender in your arms

I can barely look at you, but every single time I do, I know we'll make it anywhere, away from here.

Even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear

To think I might not see those eyes, makes it so hard not to cry. And as we say our long goodbyes, I nearly do.




that will do for now. The last three are from Run by snow patrol, which makes my heart rip in two everytime i hear it. Love that song.

IM GOING TO SEE THE LIVING END IN OCTOBER!!!!! ]]> ~quietsketches http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9350005/ http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9350005/ Wed, 12 Jul 2006 01:51:58 PDT
where these people escape from, ill turn towards

the bare branches, white against the grey sky, they give me strength.

they seem so real, so pure, so steadfast, like they'd remain for years to come

on the coldest days i like to get to somewhere empty, turn my face to the elements, feel the cold wash over my skin

it wakes me

i dread the days i cannot do it again, i hope they never come






until then i let winter wrap its arms around me, and hold my face up to let the rain wash away my tears ]]> ~quietsketches http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9328951/ http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9328951/ Mon, 10 Jul 2006 05:43:54 PDT
but unlike those butterflies, their folds simple and pure i cannot neatly fold my heart back into place

each time it opens it changes, the patterns altered, who i am, who i will be, never the same

each morning the butterflies flutter their wings, yearning to be free, but as i keep them cupped to me they soften, tear

i need to let them go, soar amongst those close to me, those ill never meet

and yet each time i try, i close my grip tighter.............. if only i could be like a child, innocent, happy, unaware




they let their paper butterflies go ]]> ~quietsketches http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9318592/ http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9318592/ Sun, 09 Jul 2006 06:40:43 PDT
why me? what did i do to deserve this burden?

NOTHING!

it's something given to me that i have to deal with!

fate? not likely
a test? i dont belive in a greater power
luck? i guess so



well, luck's run out, i cant do anything to get rid of it, it's there, forever, until the day i die

all i can hope is that i dont hurt another person ]]> ~quietsketches http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9278145/ http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9278145/ Wed, 05 Jul 2006 05:46:39 PDT

the lights below me

There's so much world to be seen and loved, getting amongst it, looking at it as if through the eyes of a child, is possiably one of the greatest gifts ever given. Take the time to look around you, walk places instead of shutting yourself in a metal box. Give your mind space to think, to reach out from where it is and feel the world around it.

I never know if I want to be by myself sometimes, or wether to have people around me. Mostly I want to have just one person who I can try and explain my feelings and thoughts to. Someone who will hug me even though they don't know what's wrong, and who will sit with me as long as they can do, just because they know I may need them there. Finding someone like that is hard, but never impossible.



Well that's enough emo stuff from me today. Im having a very emo day actually. I'll probobly write something else that I'll pretend is deep and thoughtful, but that may not happen. I'll just have to see.

gah, that's such a weight off my shoulders i can tell you. now i can spend more time doing things i enjoy, like drawing, and not feel guilty cos im not doing my work *dances some more*

hopefully ill get another deviation up soon. trouble is i dont have much :S

later ]]> ~quietsketches http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9121610/ http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9121610/ Tue, 20 Jun 2006 00:34:16 PDT
i was going to put an update of my pic, but it turns out that it doesnt want to be photographed. i think im going to have to scan it at some point. but first i have to finish it.

not much happening, just trying to do some work, which at the moment involves studying kanji. i think in my hols i may do a piece using my new japanese caligoraphy set. *ponders* that could be cool actually.

later days. ]]> ~quietsketches http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9093326/ http://quietsketches.deviantart.com/journal/9093326/ Sat, 17 Jun 2006 04:58:52 PDT
well my peice is coimg along. im up to colour now, im not sure how it'll turn out. i may end up taking out various bits and creating new peices based around them ... interesting thought actually.

my problem is that ive tried to do skin in silver, but it just looks grey. i dont want to do it heavy either so that it doesnt detract from the rest of the picture. dilema.

apart from that ive been doing some little sketches, mainly anime/manga style ppl. i tend to be able to get the head or the body but never the two together. its a royal pain i can tell you ]]> ~quietsketches
