right, firstly, i'm sitting here typing with the coldest fingers ever ever ever, because the house is freezing even though we have the heating on, but i don't mind winter. it means christmas,

anyway i'm meant to be doing art homework but it's to do CHARCOAL. i had to draw some scary clown thing in school in "semi-darkness" (whatever the hell that is) and it looked like shit. i wasnt surpised when they told me it was burnt wood,,

hmmm so a summary of my week: monday was bad, tuesday was good-ish, and today was goddamn hilarious. tomorrow should be VERYY GOOD INDEED.

EDIT: tomorrow WAS very good indeed.

can't wait for half term hols.

You hyptonize with yer magic dance,
all the animals in the seaaa
For shooooowwr

back to school , which means ive started my art GCSE thing , which means my school stuff is gonna go on here (well, it's going on right now, actually)

i love art lessons, they're so much fun

and the reason i've been neglecting DA these days: things have been going on. well, things are always going on, but i've been a bit preoccupied with em lately. and they're not all good things, but that's just life i suppooooose.

if you wanna say anything at all, stick something in the comments. i think you've all forgotten about me because i havent been on in so long,

but if you happen to read this ... talk to meh.

its been pretty long since i've updated my journal and i'm not updating aout anything in particular (stuff has happened, but i've been too lazy to put it up) so in short, happenings of the summer hols in britain for me: 1. went to turkey, came back. it was hot, busy, sunny, loud and brill. wouldn't mind doing it again. 2. saw various movies. orphan was really good, for a horror (which i never usually watch cos i'm a wuss lol). and it didn't scare me so yay! 3. i may be able to get behind the wheel and get some un-official driving lessons!

and more but i cba to think now, as my brain is halfway between switched on/switched off. and i'm low on caffiene.

so happy deviant birthday to me and i'm planning to draw something soon - hopefully i'll have enough spare time for it. yes i'm very bad i'm abandoning drawing but i'll shove myself back on track soon.

hopefully

yay!

but we'll have good times anyway...just indoors...bakiing chocolate muffins and eating all the mix, like you do

so i'm gonna be taking off to turkey next monday for 10 days... um yes that'll be fun, a whole 10 days with my family.





anyone going anywhere nice? care to make me jealous with all your sunny weather?

1. i spend way too much time watching crap on the tv or doing nothing interesting when i can produce many fantastical drawings.

2. i decided to draw today and what did i decide i would do? a self-portrait. i'm such a twat. now i've got to stare at myself in the mirror for ages until i want to smash it.

3. i went to london with my year group and had lots of fun and if i could i would have stayed FOREVER and told billions of scary stories and done stupid girly stuff. but alas it had to end.

4. i'm constantly listening to "chasing cars" by snow patrol. *SHOCK HORROR* (please don't throw anything at me)

5. i saw the grey's anatomy season finale a week ago and i couldn't stop blubbing for about an hour (did anyone else see it?). and then i had to fulfil my damn cravings for grey's anatomy by watching the season finale over and over again.

6. i should be drawing right now but instead i am doing jack-all.

7. the phone just rang and i couldn't be arsed to pick it up.

am i forgiven?

i've had 154 deviations stacked up in my inbox and i'm not patient enough to sift through all of them, so apologies to all the watch-ed.

i will get some drawings up if i can. i'm not that inspired to draw anything in particular at the moment, but i'm sure a massive brainwave will come to me pretty soon.

OR maybe you guys can give me some of your pearls of wisdom.

anyway, i guess most of you have given up on me. which i don't blame you for.

goodbyes.

1) i am not a maths geek and 2) i am not desperately bored but i can't help it! honestly, it's the closest thing to maths homework ... and the thought of doing maths homework as a hobby is just .. *shudders*.

it's become a bedtime ritual. i have to do godonlyknowshowmany of the damn puzzles before i sleep, or else i have NIGHTMARES

and then i dream of numbers floating around in boxes.

ah well i'm back to school in a couple of days ... and then i shall be occupied with homework! hallelujah.

and then ... exams. (oh shit)

i got a gold certificate in the UK Maths Challenge, and my mark was good enough to get me into the Kangaroo Maths Challenge (which is done in loads of countries, not just the UK). i have no idea how i did it, but at least i have something to smile about.

anyway, tagged me.

Rules
1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs.

ok, here goes.

1. i am scared of daddy long legs. i'm actually really scared of them.

2. i can't stand olives, jelly, celery, peppers, marmite, coriander or parsley.

3. i'm obsessed with keeping my nails perfect. (which is annoying seeing as i always bite them).

4. i speak 2 languages fluently, and 2 languages badly.

5. i believed someone when they told me that "gullible" was taken out of the Oxford English Dictionary. i also believed when someone else told me if you say "gullible" really quickly it sounds like "orange".

6. when i grow up i want to be a surgeon and cut out people's brains. (seriously)

7. i'm obsessed with Arcade Fire.

8. some people say i look like Angeline Jolie. o.O

i tag:

anyway, animals are yay!

one of my life's ambitions before i die is to get a snake. and keep it as a pet.

because a couple of weeks ago this wildlife dude came into our school and showed us all these animals and he brought in two gorgeous snakes and they were the best.

and then i volunteered to hold a skunk (yes a skunk). luckily it didn't spray. instead it attempted to eat the collar of my shirt and then sneezed on my neck. i took it as a sign of affection.

so anyway, animals are yay!

anyway i'm sorry because i don't want to forget about drawing

so i will draw something soon. it probably won't be a portrait.

and i'm almost sure i'll have less time to draw next year. it's my GCSE year, and i'm gonna be taking thirteen subjects. (stupid school gives us 10 compulsories and 3 options )

i suppose that'll include artwork for my art GCSE but i doubt i'll get much else done. so i'm sad now. because i have so much more time now and i just forget. stupid stupid stupid.

and year 10 will be so much hard work! damn people's high expectations .. *shakes fist*

so i'm sorry, for now and in advance.

i have absolutely nothing to talk about, and i won't babble on about my life because no one's gonna find that interesting. so i'm feeling pretty useless and boring.

soo .. valentine's day was ages ago but .. happy valentines day! i know nothing good happened to me (i personally believe it's all a load of commercial crap). it was just another day.

god, i sound like i'm clinically depressed. i'm so boring. D:

feel free to share any stories.

snow snow snow. that's all that's been happening in britain over the past week. but i dont care about the snow anymore. i dunno, maybe god wanted to show us that we were short on our grit supplies, but it's just snow.

i wanna have a normal school week. staying home is boring when it snows.

i'm reading Holes by Louis Sachar. it's such a good book! i could have finished it on the day i got it (yesterday) but i wanted to make it last the weekend until i could return it.

i highly recommend it.

1 week until half-term holidays. *groan*. this year is going too fast. depressingly fast.

i'm gonna start writing a diary! yay. (irrelevant.)

finally, a question for you. which do you prefer: summer or winter, and why?

]]> ~s-sharifi http://s-sharifi.deviantart.com/journal/22978452/ http://s-sharifi.deviantart.com/journal/22978452/ Tue, 03 Feb 2009 06:55:59 PST

anyway, that's about all i have to say. today i have a day off school (snow day) but i can't be bothered to go outside and make snowmen because there's no one to do it with me.

i'm starting an art nouveau drawing soon (today hopefully) and it's the first time i've tried that kind of thing. so hopefully my frivolous experimentations will pay off in the end. i'm hopping about like a jackrabbit what with all the different stuff i'm trying.

oh yeah, one more thing--
what do you think about commissions? i just need some background information about them.

]]> ~s-sharifi http://s-sharifi.deviantart.com/journal/22916798/ http://s-sharifi.deviantart.com/journal/22916798/ Sat, 31 Jan 2009 04:32:05 PST
so should i send in my drawings? d'you reckon my work will be published?

my deadline is february the 9th, so i haven't got a great deal of time left.

i was planning on finishing off my latest drawing before i do anything, which would probably be tonight(?) so keep an eye out for that one.

i've been lying low with my drawing, which is bad. i don't think i'm procrastinating, i just don't seem to have time for much these days. i barely manage to get all my homework done in time, let alone my drawings. also, ive been tired like hell the past few days (hence the unhealthy doses of coffee). im slipping into my little misery bubble, which means im getting pissed off at anything and everything around me.

wow.

the most i have ever got is 60.

dont ask me how that happened because i dont know (maybe beause i was featured in a news article?) but one thing is for sure--i love you all. a great deal. ^^

anyway, im trying to get off my lazy butt and do some drawings, and i think i will get one done this weekend. im pondering right at this moment whether i should carry on with the "wild animals" theme. so we'll just have to wait and see.

and i also have to get off my lazy butt and somehow get through the truck-load of homework i have been set. *shakes fist angrily at teachers*

and, boy, have i had a tense week. tests, everyday. sheesh.

i would list all the highlights of the year, but im guessing most of you arent totally oblivious to the happenings of the world, from the morbid to the cheerful. so i wont.

and of course i have to send my love to DA, seeing as i joined this year. and ive had a ball. so a big to everyone.

essentially, the new year is not that big a deal to me. its only important to us because we all follow the gregorian calender, and the motion from dec 31st to jan 1st marks the spot.

but its nice to have a turning point which we can put our finger on and say, "right, here's to a fresh start".

so .. heres to a fresh start! *crosses fingers*

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

hmm, what else ...

well, i went to see twilight. nothin' special. im reading breaking dawn (yeah, i just had to be typical and try and get through the whole series - my guilty pleasure.) but im in a harry-potter-and-the-half-blood-prince-mood. i think ill read that (for the 4th time). oh in case anyone's interested, im team jacob. go jacob!

is it just me whos really excited about the half blood prince coming out next year? has anyone else seen the trailer(s)? looks good to me: [link]

im so bored. i mean, christmas, woop woop, how fun. lets look forward to over-indulging and tidying up the mess and - ugh - those SONGS.

i dont even have anything decent to talk about in my journal. pathetic.

shee-eesh.

EDIT: ok i do have something quick to talk about. and its about (hold yer screams) twilight. now, yes im 13 and i like it (but im not absolutely infatuated by edward). my mind hasnt opened up wide enough to be critical about it. but i read this: [link] and suddenly ... twilight is not so good anymore! *shock horror*

so go read it! --> [link]
yes it DOES tear the book to little shreds, and i dont think its *that* bad, but you have to give the guy some credit. hes got a point.

ANOTHER EDIT YAY: if youve seen twilight the movie .. watch this. NOW. --> [link]

i feel like when i dont make myself busy with something to take my mind off things, i've done something wrong. then i get all angry with myself and go to sleep all guilty. like drawing. sometimes i just cannot be arsed at all, and then i feel really bleh (i dont know why). so i do maths to keep myself busy (yes it sounds stupid but i enjoy it). but most of the time i just laze about and do last-minute homework all week and ...

and then i feel like i've failed this week, and then i set myself a target to be better the next week and i never am better, i just get worse and worse.

oh god why am i not happy. i'm meant to be on top of the world - young and carefree and all that cliched stuff. no, but not me. for some reason, i always have to be different. i was like this last year. omg, sigh. i wish someone could be in my shoes for a change. people always see me with a great big smile on my face but noone knows what goes on behind closed doors, do they?

euuuurgh ... please dont think i'm moaning and its just a bad case of "hormones" because there's more to it than that. i just havent told the whole story.

does anyone know how i'm feeling? what it is? why i'm feeling this? i'm so confuuused.

bleh. help.

i hope everyone's got off to a good start in school/uni/work or whatever you guys are up to at this time of year. school's going ok for me ... except for the odd "day". today it's one of those "days". but i'll get over it.

i'm just knuckling down with schoolwork at the mo. i have to finish my essay on "To Kill A Mockingbird" by thursday, and i have a feeling it'll take me a while. i tend to blab too much in my analysis and the result = drawn out paragraphs, long-winded sentences and repeating myself too much.

and now i'm wondering why i'm sat here on the computer doing useless stuff and youtube-ing when my eyes should be sore from reading the incy wincy words from my book.

but never mind, isn't everyone entitled to their own empty leisure time? after all, a whole 6 weeks till we break up for christmas.

speaking of which, i hate christmas. the christmas season has "officially begun" here in birmingham, which i think is ridiculous. we all know christmas is about brainwashing kids with mountains of presents, giving xmas cards to people you hate (not eco friendly either) and over-indulging on the day. and its so bloody cold.

ok, my rant over. i think i've demonstrated what i mean by blabbing too much. if you reached up to here without stopping or skipping anything, you should be very very proud.

final final thing:
please visit my ol' friend (well shes a newbie)
and um ..talk to her, encourage her, give her some tips, whatever you like. shes taking art gcse next year and basically wants to get better.

My first big milestone - 1000 pageviews! wow, it was only at the beginning of this month that i got to 500 pageviews ... time just flies

Thank you to all my watchers, favers, commenters, viewers (of course) and above all, the amazing artists on here who inspired me to be where i am.
seriously, if i hadn't joined DA, i wouldn't have even considered being able to draw like i do now!

off-point: i can't believe its snowing in october here in birmingham! my back garden was covered yesterday! o_O

But my portait got picked as one of her favourites so i guess thats something.

Ok i'll admit at the moment i'm not the happiest of people at the mo and yes i'm a bit pissed off. i'm really competitive and i wish i was just that little bit better at drawing but what can you do?

Anyway, happy half-term to everyone in england.

Yes very exciting ... anyway. Fun fun fun. I'm being really lazy atm cos I keep forgetting to draw :S but I'll get my eye done soon (hopefully!)

And (I'm very proud of this) ...

I can play Mamma Mia on the piano! yay.

So, I wont keep blabbing (not that anyone cares much ).

Oh yeeeeah and: - I've entered 's contest (hmm will I get into the top 20 .. hmm i dont think so.) and the awesome 's contest, which has been extended to Oct 24th methinks. So yeah, a long time to wait for that.

Ive been drawing at record pace last few days i should be doing other stuff tbh..
