HOLA GUYS!!! I haven't updated in a while, at least I don't think I have.

Oh who gives a damn, no one ever reads these things anyways - especially when I'm in one of these psuedo-philosophical moods, writing in broken english and ignoring the fact that my head is throbbing.

Whats in news? We adopted a baby bird, its a red wattle bird, and its name keeps changing. It was originaly Wilfred Kingston Bird, then it changed to Bird, and then it became Marylin. We don't even know the sex of the damn thing yet!!! I don't mind though, its not like it has particular gender roles, or we would treat it any differently depending on its gender. I think a nice androgenous name would be excellent.

I also have exams, I did my english and Sociology exam today. I think I did well in both, perhaps my text response could have been longer... But whose counting words really? Its the contents that count.
Next week is more exams, then the next week is pre-year 12 (where we're year 12's for a week. Not looking forward to it at all. I would prefer the culture-shock next year; after my customary holiday maturing period.)

I also got a new script book, I know this news really only effects me because no one besides me and a few other people have read my old one. I think this time it will be better, because of a more mature understanding of plot, a more mature understanding of merciless, conciousless, violent killing and a ton of character development.
My new script book has rules though, I have to write a prologue to every script stating the main storyline and inspiration, and when I finish a script I have to draw a basic sketch of the comic on spare paper, to be secured behind the prologue. perhaps you guys will see these one day, perhaps not. I don't know.

I feel like speaking in riddles, I have no idea why I just do. I have this overwhelming sense that I will feel really amused and accomplished because I made everyone confused. But I won't. I think its because of Clockwork Orange, Its written in riddles. Its like Russian had sex with English and then had a baby and it grew up into a homocidal teenager. luff luff luff. My brian throbs miseryabilly.


also;

Why don't Australians actually celebrate Halloween?
Why is it that I have to be here, telling hopeful kids to go home because they'll only be dissapointed by the lack of sugar? Why can't I be out there, all dressed up - like them - begging total strangers to give me my sugar hit?

Thats it, next year I'm going to have a party. And we can all dress up and its going to be awesome.

At least I have Psycho to cheer me up....

... Was on scrubs FIRST.

Anywho, I thought I might update. I might also jump on the computer so I can upload that picture that I wanted me to upload....

But its so much EFFORT.

On a lighter note, I finished Fredricks wig! He LOOKS LIKE A TINY ANDY. HOLY GUACAMOLE.

Not that most of you would know who that is, but he's the person I keep mentioning in these things, he needs recognition or he'll dissolve like that dissolvable panadol that tastes like crap.

HIIII!!!

Anyways, I haven't made a journal in a while.

You guys might forget about me.

Please don't forget about me, I like you guys.

PLEASE?!?!


ANYWAYS, I'm at my cousin ~PeteyyLUFF's house, Wearing her old glasses and typing on here.

FUN TIMES FOR ME.

SO, Uh this is my updated journal. HI!

I JUST PUSHED A BUTTON AND BOXXY POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN OH MY GODDDD!!!!!





<sub>This is Mrs. Wentz's section, the things mentioned in this section are most likely true, because i suck. Because it is true.
It is as follows:

MMMM is failing epicly and by epicly i mean EPICLY.She is going to be caught by a prefect because she is headbutting youngens. Bahahahahaha. Chandler is awesome. And so is my lover Pete Wentz. We are having such kids. Lovers we are. If anoe even DARES to say they love Peter more than I, I shall find them and lets just say, they may not have a liver to continue their life with. Hah. Lovers forever plkwiii.</sub>

Have any of you guys watched the pixar glitches? Like off the Shrek DVD or The Incredibles?

More importantly, does anyone find them INSANELY DISTURBING??!?! Like when they're just a set of floating eyes, or their face starts melting off, or they spasm so violently and unnaturally that their arms turn inside out?

Its the stuff of nightmares, but sadly, the really freaky shrek ones aren't on youtube...

What bought this up? Welll, we're trying to get Spyros head to turn around exorcist style.

GAH! Studio art is beginning to eat into my drawing time. But this time, instead of being clevurr and drawing a pretty picture with some highly controversial meaning, I decided to make one of those fancy pants ball jointed dolls that you always see brooding photos of on here. HOORAY! I'm becoming more of a hermit type every day!!! Anyway, I'm making it of Fredrick, which sould be fun... I guess. I still find the idea of having a little doll of him slightly disturbing, but WHO KNOWS! It might do me good.

Or I could turn into a looney and belive that hes real and animate and has feelings, like I thought my old dolls had (I used to tie them up at night so they wouldn't peel my skin off while I was asleep, in truth this probably made them really angry, but at least they couldn't attack me in my sleep.)

I promise I won't take hundreds of photos of him either, my dA is for drawings and paintings and the occasional dress up game that I tend to make when I'm bored and download flash.

In other news, My keh-ribby-en is still running, its 12 000 for anyone who doesn't know. The prize for whoever gets it will be a drawing, worth about $10 (see [link]). AND I REFUSE TO DO AVATARS!!! I hate that shit!

In a nutshell, I'm making a doll of my childhood alternate personality/brain friend and I'm whoring myself out in exchange for a screenshot of a petty number at the top of my page!

Any questions?

The people who bought our old house off us are re-selling it, and by jove is it FUNNY!!!
They kept all the old picture hooks in the same place, so nothing is hanging right, my old room and my sisters old room have had "kiddie makeovers" (Lightning McQueen FTW!!!) and the rug under the table is just fugly, we never had a fugly rug.

Check it out :

[link]


_{By the way, this is our OLD residence, so we don't live round there anymore. Do not buy it just to stalk me}

RACH! Thats what you have to get me for my birthday, A cape so I can wear it. A nice brightly coloured one. plz.

NEWAYZ! The internet is really slowing down, and my room is a mess and the reason that ~Andiiieeee doesn't like feet is because he's insanely ticklish, Which leads me to my next point.

I cant find the triangly thing that holds my rubix cube thing, and now my rubix cube has to be on its side instead of its point because the triangly thing was what did that and stuff.

The only thing that makes my life better is the fact I just ate the most delecious banana ever! And no. That isn't sexual innuendo - it was honest to David Bowie the greates banana I've ever eaten.

Well, I've decided - because its my place to judge all this stuff - That whoever catches my 12000th pageview, thats MY 12000th pageview will get a super dooper magnificent prize!!! Whoever catches it will get a kewl A4 drawing, which I would normally charge $10 for!!! splendid eh?

Anyway, aside from this great prize... uhhh

How's things going?

I'm good, I think I'm going through a bit of artists block...

Well, I got the old train tracks on. Finally.

Its ok except for the fact that ~pehzazz keeps forgetting that I have them and ends up squeezing my tender face, and I have the biggest graze on the inside of my mouth, right above the spring I would happily tear out.

You would think that after years of research they would invent ROUNDED braces? I mean, it wouldnt be that hard and they could be colourful! I WANT COLOURS!!!!

I also had to postpone my birthday party, partially because hardly anyone was going to stay and partillay because there is so much pain in my mouth and I find the lisp annoying, not to mention embarrasing.
Frigging hell I wish I could take my plate out when I eat, SALIVA IS GROSS ENOUGH WITHOUT HAVING HALF CHEWED KFC IN IT!!!

Well, I got my Studio Arts mark back.

And unless my art teacher is lying to me, because she thinks I'm a spechul snowflake who can't handle the least bit of criticism, I'm pretty sure she said I got the highest mark in the two studio arts classes.

I'm guessing its the former reason, not because I'm talented and actually do my work.

OH WELL.

The good news is, THE MIGHTY BOOSH FINALLY ARRIVED!!!

The bad news is they ordered the wrong one.

The good news is, THEY ORDERED IN THE 7 DISK SPECIAL EDITION INSTEAD OF THE 3 DISK NORMAL ONE!!!!

The bad news is that I can't stop watching it, and I named my BRAND NEW SCANNER VINCE!!!!

By the way, I bought a scanner with the money that ~red14lilli gave me for my birthday. Thankyou so much love. I'll pay you back eventually!!!

So you can expect much more activity from now on.

I'm a poet.

Really.

I DON'T WANT TO BE 17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmmm... Its my birthday on monday, I want you all to get me presents...

I also just finished all my homework for the week, so I can go to a party.

Its a Murder Mystery with lasagne.

I'm going to be the most fashionable matinence man ever.

"Oddball" doesn't mean 180 and creepy.

I'm thinking a nice green pair of overalls, a few go green badges and a feather boa to top it all off, and a saw.

Whaddya think lovvies?



_{MY MIND IS FILLED WITH SCORPIONS!!!!}

I went to Melbourne yesterday. To Cunningham Dax and the ZOO!

The zoo was wonderful, I have a new found love of chimps...

But I'm still pissed I missed the other species of Lemurs.

Black and white ruffed lemurs just don't satisfy.


I also think I have the flu. The english kid got coughed on at the airport, so he was sick and now I'm sick! My brain is swimming in what feels like lemon juice and my cough is like being punched in the throat by C.N wearing a glove made of Shamwow.

Better than my brain feeling like a winter wonderland though...



Thanks for everything. I'm off to be a pirate.



---------------------------------
EDIT!!!
---------------------------------

Corel Painter 11 has crashed on me an almighty 9 times in the past half hour.

and I was actually happy with how it was going until then

I think I may be doing something wrong

I had to go to the orthodontist today to get imprints done for my plate, and it was easily the most disgusting thing I've had in my mouth ever.

It was the same colour and consistancy as melted blue tack, But had the most revolting flavour. It made me sad.

It also attempted to trigger my gag reflex, But I don't think It would have been too acceptable to vomit all over the orthodonticalnarian nurse.

I'm so sick of this happening, I have one thing planned for one day, something else cropps up and then something else and then something else and eventually it all gets so confusing that I miss out!

I was supposed to get my braces on the 24th of July, but since thats the same day as the day I go to melborne to go see the Cunningham Dax exibition, Mum decides to change the appointment!!!

Honestly I would prefer not to go to Melborne than wait an extra 4 weeks to get some fucking wires glued to my teeth.

I really just want to get it over and done with.


Get them on, get them off.

I'm not angry with Mum.


The 24th also happens to be the night of the Red Carpet awards, I'm not even sure if I made it to the finals yet but I hope I did...

Scratch that, they rang just as I finished typing up that last sentance. I didn't get into the finals. Fuck I hate my life.

I also want my damn career profile, The email was supposed to be dispatched 30 minutes ago!!!

Well, Not that it matters, because I'm not too huge on the pageviews... Its the views on my art that really matters.

But I have 10 000+ pageviews! I should do something special... What do you guys think I should do?


And on a slightly less awesome note, I can't change my mood.

Thankyou to the dA fourums, my eyes have finally been opened to the wonders of Encyclopedia Dramatica. (please don't whine at me if you already know about it, I'm really slow on the uptake)
Anyways, I came to a depressing conclusion.

The only way to become popluar on this site is to follow the following steps:

1. Draw alot of anime.

2. Draw alot of anime child porn (see =Teruchan)

3. Whine and bitch about it being removed, and then repeat steps 1 through to 3.


I know, "You should have realized that thats the foundations of dA!!! Anime, Child porn and MUDKIPZ!!!"


dA is such a good setup, but sometimes it just fails.




P.S I just realized how terrible I am at drawing. Honestly, I need to draw more.

P.P.S Exams are OVER!!! Which means I get the next 4 days off, Which means I'm going to spend the whole time drawing because I have terrible art-block at the moment, and drawing and drawing and drawing usually helps me fix that. Expect Animu. Lots of it.


P.P.P.S I also realize that I'm a hipocrite for complaining about the amount of Anime on this site, and then going ahead and saying I'm going to add more, I just find Anime is a) Really easy to draw and b) requires little or no thought, because it all looks the same.

Sorry for the random title, I just really need to update my journal.

I'm also sorry for not really being on too often, I'm in the middle of exams O.o Thank god its the weekend.

Anyways, during the psychology exam, I discovered how I get inspiration and the will to improve my artistic ability (I say ability, not talent, because the moment I say I'm talented I will stop improving) I discovered that the driving force behind all I do is jealousy. If I see somone whos better than me (and I know, theres hundreds of them) I will immediately try to outdo them... Like that game where the fish eats the other fish and then gets bigger and bigger, and because its getting bigger and bigger it can eat even bigger fish. I don't know, I don't make sense.

Anyway, How do you guys get inspiration? I know, lame-ass-girly question... but you still have to answer it. And I don't want any I don't knows!!! Its good to think about this sort of stuff sometimes, I think.

HI EVERYONE!!! I'm in sociology right now... The teacher hasn't shown up so I'm not really doing any work.

But the small amount of work that I have done has annoyed me greatly, and all because of the Mac spell check.

I type in:

" What sort of job do you have/want as your first job?"

It says its wrong.

I say, Okay! Lets see what I've fucked up now.

It suggests:

"What sort of job does you have/want as your first job?"

Try this folks, go up to someone and ask "What sort of job does you have?" then tell me what look they give you.

Anyway, library wenches have shown up. BAH BIE!!!

Sometimes I get myself into problems that its morally wrong to run away from.

My God-Mothers nephew started radiotherapy on monday, and I've promised myself and my mum and him that I would draw a picture for him, something bright happy and positive. Something that says, I don't feel sorry for you (because, empathy is better), but I really care about what your going through and I hope upon hope that you get over this - because to lose your life when your 16 or 17 is just cruel.

This is where I run blank.

Every happy picture I've ever drawn lacks meaning or any sort of feeling at all. I don't want to give him something that has no meaning, that looks like I haven't put emotion and thought into it.

I just don't know what to do...

I don't know what is wrong with my toungue... I bought a lollypop from beechworth (it WAS about 20x15 cm, But that didn't last very long) and I had to stop eating it because I got little lumps all over my toungue... And right now I'm trying to enjoy come chips but it feels like someones holding a lighter to my beloved mouth muscle....

Oh well. They still taste like awesome.

I went camping with dad too... That was really fun... And I found an awesome rock.

I only went to school one day this week, because I'm so hardcore.

I went to the dentist on my own and got my tooth pulled out without an adult to hold my hand.

Needles dont fucking feel like bees. Bees don't sting in the same place 6 times.

They perhaps feel more like wasps, They can sting and sting and sting - Until you squash them.

I got sick again yesterday... I think my health is slowly deteriorating... I'm blaming it on the sunshine, and/or the boogie. Or maybe just the sunshine.

Theres a hidden message in this journal... But you'll never ever find it, ever.

]]> =ramikin http://ramikin.deviantart.com/journal/23636213/ http://ramikin.deviantart.com/journal/23636213/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 23:32:40 PDT

READ IT ALL PLEASE!!!! Don't be lazy, I spent the time writing it. The least you can do is read it.

Once again. The dental industry has showed us exactly how greedy humans are.
On that note I will explain to you guys what happened today.

First things first , I woke up and brushed my teetha nd did all the things that I do to get ready for school.
Then I watched my mum drive off and take my little sister to school. I waited around for a few minutes before my Dad picked me up and drove me to the Orthodontists.

(And for the record I have pretty nice teeth, A decent bite and they aren't all yellow. tl;dr Nice teeth)

The only reason I was told to go to the Orthodontists was because my dentist didn't want to tear out one of my baby teeth without a second opinion, Just in case the tooth behind it (and I mean WAY behind it... Its basically coming out of the roof of my mouth. In dental words "Recessed Left Canine") didn't move forwar, Because that wouldn't be "Astheically Pleasing"

So they put these things in my mouth and take some photos, And then the Orthodontist walks in, demands a full length mirror from his assistant puts his fingers in my mouth, jabbers some mumbo-jumbo while assulting my "Recessed Left Canine" and then tells me I need braces.

"Why?" I asked, honestly confused, I often get asked if I had braces because of my straight teeth.

"I think you need then because this tooth here..." he points to the one in question (I had a hand mirror by this time.. So I could see what he was on about) "Is rotated at a 90 degree angle, This one here is crooked, you have a gap here and here and a "recessed left canine" He finished, poking my rotated tooth again.

"Oh.. I never noticed that before.." I said sadly. Then the bastard walked out - Leaving his assitant to explain everything.

"You will only need them for 14 months, then you will only have to wear a retainer at night...ect, ect" all this time I was actually getting a bit excited, I had wanted braces ever since my friend got hers when I was about 9. Then she dropped the bombshell.

"All up this will cost about $5300" My Dads face dropped at this point because he signed that he was going to pay for them "This covers repairs, your monthly visits, the retainer, the wax tigtening ect, ect, And you can pay all this over about 5 years - any way you want."

My dad heard none of this. He was not going to pay $5000 to fix my teeth - even if a holiday to the bahamas was covered.

Then we left.


I went back to school (whoo who! Sociology ) and asked some people who go to the same Orthodontist about it.
Almost every one of them said "That people who get reffered to Dr Tan from their dentists, are sent for a reason." That reason being - they need braces.

So the tooth WASN'T going to move forward, The dentist was obviously too nice to tell me that.
Anyway, After a long day of thinking I finally accepted the braces ( I was actually getting exited about getting them) I get home. And mum (who I though didn't know the Drs verdict yet) Said,
"So whats this I hear about you getting braces?"
"Oh he pointed out some other problems wiht my teeth that braces would fix" I said, Confused about her knowing.
"Do you know how much they cost?"
"Yes, bu-"
"Your not getting them"
"bu-"
"There is nothing wrong with your teeth, Your not a doll"
"But what about that one?" I asked, pointing to my "Recessed Left Canine"
"The dentist will pull it out, And it will move forward. You don't need braces."
I ALMOST cryed. I only didn't because I'm so hard and stuff.

This isn't fair, When that tooth is pulled out - Its not going to move forward. Even I'm smart enough to know that.

This sucks.
