Surely they should be multiplying?? At least in theory?

I have also slowly begun to realise that I have essays due in soon, and I have slept through so many lectures that I keep forgetting that you're supposed to do work at Uni D:
Facebook also takes life over a little bit

But seriously, going to University has got to be one of the best decisions I have ever made! I've made lots of awesome new friends and my flatmates are so brilliant! The course is fun and being independant is great and it is made up of good times (and some horribly embarassing times...) so if you get the chance, go for it!
Also, the love you receive from errant family members (eg. parents) gets multiplied by 90000 even if your parents were awesome in the first place. And when you visit home, the food is FREE!!
You are now jealous.
I have a big goofy grin.



Sorry for abandoning dA, but I'm too lazy to scan things in. I have also received news from fellow flatmates that our halls internet connection refuses to upload stuff to dA.
Good Times mannnn

Can you tell I'm avoiding my assignments?

What a feeeelin'!

In other news, I only have 9 days before I leave for Uni!! I am so excited, and there's still so much stuff left to do!
Oh well, it will just have to get done

Right, I just finished my exams, so! Summertimmmmme is here
Except that arsingly enough I'm going away for three weeks.
I am missing prom.
and the last ever dance show.
and
Oh my life
But it's a holiday in the south of France doing sweet...naff all for three whole weeks, so complaint energy has fizzled out.

Tomorrow I spend money. On items of clothing and swimming costume D: horror of horrors.
I plan on going running fairly often on holiday. Oh dear hahahaha XD I wonder how succesful that plan will be...? Hopefully it'll work. I do like running. Except for the boobs part D:

Yeah, I'm sure you don't care, but I'm in a good mood, so I'll subject you to my ramblings. In terms of schoolio:
Definately no hope for my biology results. History and english were so-so, and art was jolly cracking old bean!
And the week I come back I have jabs and teeth and pain and flute exam and Zoe's birthday and Gareth's summer partayyy and wow. At least the end of the week will make up for the beginning!

Now I need to write my art statements and apply for my Uni scholarship and pack and shop and oh, isn't it such a hard life?
When I come back from holiday, I am gonna live at ~Red-Cougar's (how dare you. I wrote becky-kitkat you fishmonger. You better not change this one once I get used to it just to spite me...) and *Supercushion's. You will be so glad to see the back of me come September!
Also, I'm thinking of cutting my hair short.

Much love, chaps. Hopefully I'll be able to post something decent over this FREE SUMMER!!
...once I come back.
I also leave reserve supplies of affection, because I always have spare for whoever needs it

Quick journal to say

NO MORE SCHOOL EVER
EXAMS NOW
SHIT
I SUCK AT REVISION
and
SUMMER IN A FEW WEEKS!!!!
UNI IN SEPTEMBER

pray I don't fail. The only thing I currently have any hope for is my art results D:
Maybe I'll actually post my art work here...

Also, love to everyone who needs it, sorry I'm never online

Loving the new dA layout, it looks so good!
Sorry I'm hardly online, my workload is huge! I'm so stupid to carry on 4 Alevels as well as Music lessons, band and dance XD

In other news, I've been given offers by every University I've applied to, and I'm really excited about my prospects and all that jazz
My most likely choice is going to be Forensic and Archaeological Sciences MSc and oh my, I can't wait
The interviews were scary, but brilliant, and all that I went to were so much fun. The course structures look soso fascinating, and everyone I've spoken to is only raising my hopes!

I'm a little sad that I haven't chosen to go on and do art, because it's something that I honestly would love to do. Imagine ART EVERY DAY! LOADS OF IDEAS AND SUPPLIES! WOOOOOW! GLEE! HEAVEN!
...However, job prospcets, especially for art careers seem to be plummetting around here, so I'm going for the sensible option of a real job, and art as a hobby.
Plus, the Universities I am choosing between all have several hundered societies, including loads of art ones, so I reckon whatever happens, I'm loving it!

Life is good guys, you only get to go at it once, and you'll find that whenever you're in a trough full of shit, you'll eventually climb out again, and the sunshine will be brighter than ever

This exists to pretty much apologise for my lame attmpts at life XD I hardly log in any more, and usually only do when i notice someone has uploaded and i want to comment.
Sooooo, messages pile up, but the journals and deviations more than everything else.
And I'm always lke...2 weeks late to find out that someone posted a journal saying they needed love
see? I suck XD
Sorry...

Apart from that, I'm pretty busy, because of increased housework and motivation duties due to mum wriing her book, as well as school starting again, plus dance, music, retakes, birhday prezzies.
I'm drawing, but nothing's getting finished. Typical me, I know. D:<
It doesn't really help that I have a wildly raging hatred of my artstyle happening at the moment XD I don't really care if other people like it or not, it's my personal fury at not being able to acheive what I want XD



Life is good! Cake is abundant (weight needs to be lost...), Mr.Clemons has learned how to use powerpoint, I saw the Transformers Movie (impressive), read Birdsong (completely brilliant), battling with Painter, etcetc Just busybusy.
And tired XD

Love to all

I got my AS results t'other day XD
Art - A
History - A
English Lit - B
Biology - C

Which means I'll be retaking two of my biology papers.
I should have got myself an A in English, but that's my own fault for screwing up on one of the papers XD got and A in one, then A in coursework, then C in another. So B overall
Biology I need a B to get into my Uni course, so I'm going to retake in an attempt to get it to a B. If I keep it at a C, I'll have to get an A next year to bump up the total mark to a B, which I doubt I can do. So retakes it is!

But who cares about that!
Unless anybody else chooses to vote in the poll before I draw the sketch, it looks like I'm going to be drawing Ash and Loki in full.

I need a haircut so badly D:<

Haha I can't really think of anything else to say, and the majority of people reading this know all this already XD
Bye then!
much love!

I totally forgot to say anything on dA XD

Thanks to everyone who came round and had fun and ate lots etcetc and for all the amazing presents

I've now got one month of holiday to do WAYTOOMUCH stuff, which should be great fun either I'll do it all, or I'll just spend the rest of the holiday sleeping.
Hence the journal title. I swear I'm an organism that rests during the summer months rather than the winter oones. Maybe I just need to lose weight D:

Results for exams come out on the 14th August, which is lovely news XD
and other than that, I'm hopefully going to be uploading more stuff soon, becaus I have time to draw!

More t-shirts are going to get bleached, too, because they're everyone's christmas presents. I know what I'm going to put on them all, I just need to buy shirts for Dannie, Becks, and Nick.

There we go, an update
much love!

I wish I had before and after shots to show you, because it's pretty miraculous!

Instead, I have a bunch of doodles you can feast your eyes on because I don't have much to say I just wanted to get the old journal off my front page

Have a pic of Erica, because she's so unloved by me and hardly ever drawn XD Her gun has no ref D:


Annnnnd...some random Sasuke and Itachi drawn ages ago because of some chapter. to do with the junk I wrote underneath XD They're so manly O:



And a couple of random girls who were drawn forever ago



Yeah, so that was fun XD I have lots of things I'm trying to finish drawing atm, and some serious arty plans for the summer ^^

In other news, I personally like V6 of dA. It's great fun, and the message centre has been so great that I've actually cleared out my inbox! yay!

Oh, and of course, my lovely new journal CSS made by becky! ^^ it even has my generic floating petals in the background.

Love you guys!

Bugsy was totally hilarious because we had a three hour gap in between performances yesterday that was so so brilliant. haven't laughed so much in forever XD
Basically there were five of us who went out and bought lots of junk food, beer for the boys, and then went back to the most haunted theatre in England where we were performing XD
We got into quite a lot of trouble every so often, including a few spectacular failiures at ninja attempts. We didn't actually get properly caught until the manager found us in the top stalls after two and a half hours, which we thought was pretty good going for our rubbish attempts at keeping quiet
We did tell them that it was their fault for throwing us out of our dressing room to put various tallulahs and blouseys in there, and making our dressing room a manky stairwell. But really we would have gone exploring anyways.
I can't be bothered to write the whole day out because too much happened. We didn't see any ghosts tho XD
The last G chord in the entire show kicked ass as well. And the lot of us in the band were actually good, so it went really well - all the others are actually doing music in college. Except for John the trumpet guy, who was old (53 in comparison to us being 16,17,18), rubbish at trumpet, and nobody liked and we ran away from. XD ahhh...good times.


Exams half sucked and half went brilliantly ^^

To everyone i email who has a hotmail account: It's being very bitchy and has happilly blocked me at the moment because it's stupid. Just spent forever trying to work it out, but as of yet I have no idea if I can get it to work again XD

Study leave ends on Tuesday, so I'm making the most of the moment and doing absolutely nothing

Hope to upload soon!

Had my Art AS exam today.

it was amazingly frenzied, but I'm really pleased with the result. Ms.G also seemed to really like it, so high hopes for my success in that exam, at least!
Unfortunately, the silk paint isn't washing out of my skin XD
I hope to post it at some point in the future, along with lots of my other art work that I've done in the past year, because I'm proud of most of it!

I'm glad it went well, because I only went to bed at half 5 last night, because I was doing more work in my sketchbook, then got up at 6:45 for school. I always work best under pressure the night before a deadline, I think
I also had a nightmare, for the first time in ages (haha hence the journal title. But that's actually a quote from GUESS WHERE!!) about bloody butterflies. Because my topic was butterflies and moths
I woke up in a real cold sweat because I'd just dreamt of repeatedly making the butteflies I had actually been making, but they kept going wrong and I kept running out of time and exciting things like that It was one of those really frustrating dreams, mixed with nervousness XD
So really, to sum up, I had a totally retarded nightmare, and my art exam went really well.

So I'd really like to get some sleep now, but I have a bio project due tomorrow that is reluctant to write itself
Which means I won't be sleeping tonight, either!

I've got lots i need to finish and upload, and yet more that's really inspired me and sitting in my head that really needs to get drawn D:< including birthday gifts, fanart (BOTI and DGM), a couple of contests as a maybe, and a whole load of junk that just spawns itself in my mind. Excessive discussion about Squall with Dannie is also causing fanart-desire syndrome.
Oh yeah, and the character studies of the Oxymoron characters. I have a couple that are nearly finished

On another note, I'm currently deciding on Universities and courses I'm going to move on to after 6th Form (6th Form is like college) and I'm torn between Egyptology and Forensic Biology.
On one hand, Egyptology has fascinated me since I was tiny, in terms of culture, art and their history, as well as hyroglyphics and of course the Pharaos. I'm also good at history, and I think this is something I could really sink my teeth into.
On the other hand, I'd really like to go into the police, to help people and actually do something useful with my life. Human biology, and actually most biology is something I really enjoy studying, and I think if there's something I'd like to do in terms of biology, sciences and a job that would make me feel happy with myself would definately be forensics.
So yeah, c'est difficile! XD


sorry for the lack of updates and interesting stuff, but I haven't really updated anything about me in forever, so I thought I'd dump a lovely new journal entry on you!
Hope you're all doing good!

Yeah, so I really keep neglecting dA. This time it was because we had to wipe my computer and reinstall Windows! Lots of stuff has been going on

Most of it is good stuff! Like...getting an award from Yamaha Music school for pupil of the year, being nominated for Head Girl for my school, and therefore becoming a Prefect, too. Also my Henry VII/VIII grades, and finally for winning the manga cover contest in Waterstone's with [link]

Apart from that, I've got my art exam in exactly 2 weeks today. I chose to do Butterflies and Moths, so you may see some of that. I really need to upload all the other stuff from my art projects, too Butterflies and Moths is involving lots of textiles and slik painting and fun stuff like that, and my previous project had some A1 work which I'm very proud of.

Also, it's been everyone's birthdays, so I'm tring to sort out your presents! I'll post yours ~Mashakosha as soon as I get your address again (I emailed you). I'm pretty pleased with everyone's so far, except ~SuperHappyBunny's because it keeps biting back. And I was wondering whether you wanted your jumper back?

I haven't forgotten everything I owe people, either but right now, schoolwork is taking a priority.
I've also got tons of pictures I want to finish and upload, too, so I hope to be able to do that, because there has been a real lack of uploads recently!

Much love, and I'm sorry I haven't been around!

Sorry, I have literal tons of work to do. I've been doing it nonstop over the easter bank holiday XD
I know there's a few people who are going to be annoyed because there's stuff I haven't been able to do, and wonderful things like that, but all I can do is give my sincerest and most heartfelt apologies. I really do feel evil for all of it.

Funnily enough, though, i'm so busy and doing so much that I'm actually totally enjoying every minute. Plus I'm all jittery because of deadlines loooooming.
XD On the verge of hyperactive, here
And I sense a late night tonight becase the bio coursework is due in tomorrow and I still haven't started it

Oh yeah, happy Easter to everyone, too I had fun. and ate too much. XD
In the way that you do...
I hope you're all doing good! and i hope to be able to answer my mountain of messages soon, and catch up with stuff that certain people hate me for not doing D:

much love!

you'll never guess what.
I thought I'd done so badly in my Henry VII exam, and I got the results today. Turns out I got an A, and 120/120.

I swear my examiner was doing drugs. I remember reading through my essays at the end of the exam and wondering what the hell I had written...
...but apparently it wasn't so bad.
Apparently the other dude in the class who got 100% and me were the only people apart from one person way back when who'd got full marks in this exam in our teacher's teaching life XD and it's not like he's a bad teacher. He's a proper genius, I tell you

So, now that my gloating is over...
I just have art and biology coursework due in on the 20th, which is a bit worrying because art has been dragging due to various reasons, and Bio sucks because I'm having amazing problems with my amylase, and it's taken round about 5 weeks so far! I only have one set of results to get now, though.

Also, I've been roped into doing several pieces in the Marlowe concert by my dear flute teacher. But it'll be good fun! It means that I have loads of rehearsals, and have to be there for the entire matinee and evening performances because I'm spread out accross both, but it's a really enjoyable experience

But I've been so busy wth booking up after-school time to do Bio practical, and with rehearsals and all that.

I have three sketches and two linearts I need to finish to post, and now I've got some more markers I should be able to get on with them.

Also, I now have skype. An awesome invention I have to say

There, a small update on everything that's been going on

]]> ~troublesomeANBUthing http://troublesomeANBUthing.deviantart.com/journal/17058262/ http://troublesomeANBUthing.deviantart.com/journal/17058262/ Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:45:46 PST who bought me a subscription! She's a lovely lady.

I have so much work to do. I know I sound like a broken record, but it's the honest truth. I was also really lazy in my holidays, and I decided to go out and to London and all that rather than do any of the work I was set
So I'm sorry, because there are so many things I keep telling myself I must do, especially in terms of drawing, but now it's coursework time and then it'll be exam time, so I'm a bit screwed...haha.



Also, I'm sure you know already but we're (the usual lot. Can't be bothered to list them...XD) are going up to London to a Japan Convention on 21st July.
I'm looking forward to it.
Almost entirely because I'm making three cosplay outfits for it:
I'm going as Riku from Kingdom Hearts 2 [link] and I'm making the outfit from scratch, except the jeans.
*becky-kitkat is going as songstress Yuna [link] from Final Fantasy X-2. I'm making that from scratch except for the base pattern for her top. I'll butcher a blue vest because I haven't got the energy to do proper measurements and fitting, and I haven't got all the know-how of how to do that properly!
*Supercushion is going as a generic Akatsuki woman of my own design. A cut-off ninja kimono in black with akatsuki clouds on, and added fishnet, corsetry, ribbons etc. I'll have to make that completely 100% from scratch, but I've got my evil plans for it.

I'll post proper photos of the outfits here on dA as actual artworks, because I have high expectations of myself I want them to look amazing.
Random convention pictures will probably be posted elsewhere, with me linking them in a journal.


Now I need to get to doing my English essay that I completely neglected. I'll do my History homework in the car to school tomorrow morning ><

Sure, I've been fine, but it takes something like this for me to notice that I hadn't been feeling as awesome as I should.
Sitting here in my chair, I'm suddenly feeling so elated, and that for once everything seems to be going right. I'm so damn happy
Lots of people did multiple little things that made me a very happy bunny today thank you all.
I really appreciate it.

Yeah, so I'm utterly pathetic because all the things I'm happy about mean absolutely nothing and you'd just laugh. But I feel like I'm back n top of my world. I'm in control guys. Wanna come for the ride?

My first son will be given the name Elbow, because Luke is one of my favourite names.

Lost you yet? XD
Well, have a pointless explanation:

I randomly decided that if I had a son I'd name him Luke. However, this thought process was interrupted by the fact that I remembered I was determined to give my children Polish names. So the natural thought that came to mind? Just translate Luke!
But then I remembered that Luke translates as Łukasz, and no offence to anyone out there named Łukasz, but ever since i was little, it always reminded me of the word łokieć.
which translates as...
...Elbow! XD
so yeah. My son will be named Elbow.

(want to pronounce the letter 'ł', that mysteriously looks like a cross between an 'l' and a drunken 't'? I think this is the best way of describing it to English speaking people: Put your fist in your mouth, tie your tongue in a knot, and pronounce the letter 'w'.)


Another word I laugh at is Manga. It's both manga, flour, and melons
Manga is actually pronounced differently from how it's spelled - the 'a' is more an 'aw' than an 'ah' (bad explanation, sorry!)
Which sounded so very vaguely like mąka, which is Polish for flour.
And on top of that, my mum doesn't approve of manga, and never remembers what's it's called. So when i've been procrastinating, it's always "have you been drawing that mango stuff again?" XD

I'm sure you didn't really need to know that, but I felt like saying.

And my last useless piece of info, which shows just how pissed off I am with my biology (yeah, my investigation can be described by no other word than retarded):
did you know that the pH of your saliva is exactly the same as the pH of your urine?

and on that happy note I shall now leave you


]]> ~troublesomeANBUthing http://troublesomeANBUthing.deviantart.com/journal/16493466/ http://troublesomeANBUthing.deviantart.com/journal/16493466/ Sun, 20 Jan 2008 16:58:13 PST exactly what ends up making you stay up to ridiculous hours in the morning doing biology coursework and history essays and art research...
...which in turn makes you lazy the next day because you didn't sleep enough, which means that you stay up doing work again, and procrastiate yet again.
Ah, plagued by a vicious circle.

Apologies for the rubbish journal. My other one got annoying to look at, because everything was getting in the way of the to do list I had up. So every time I looked at it, I could just feel the cobbwebbed depths of my tormented soul spontaneously combusting in sheer despair at myself. So we can infer from this that I chose to write a new journal for a fresh start. Furthermore, this can be seen as an additional form of procrastination at one o' clock in the morning when somebody really should be finishing their essay.

Sorry people's sketch requests are taking so long. I clearly remember swearig off requests for life, but that didn't work out so well. The laziness even extends to requests, you see.

Man, I'm tired.
And my dad is snoring. I envy him.

Oh, and on a mildly interesting note, I had my first ever artwork stolen. Fab stuff [link] although I'm mildly offended that it's such an awful picture. You may be able to tell that I'm not bothered. That's because of four reasons 1) because their entire gallery is stolen, so I'm not exactly going to get any attention with something that bad. 2) it's so bad that it's unlikely to be bought/looked at/gain the stealer any credit. 3) I don't have a photobucket account, and the site is not particularly user friendly if you don't have one. Which means I can't report it. 4) I'm just too tired...
So we come to the conclusion that there's bugger all I can do about it
I think they should be reported because none of it is theirs, and I read the ToS of Photobucket, and it is a violation. So if you have an account, reporting them would be the right thing to do.

and I currently have an addiction to clementines. I eat them all the time. Including to get my energy back up when I'm doing homework. Like now



BLATANT ADVERTISING:

Okay. I have a to do list , guyyyyz.

Revise for exams next week
Buy stuff I wanna buy
Do everyone's christmas prezzies
do everyone's birthday prezzies
do sketch requests
revise, idiot.
read Flameheart
post my good pen drawings
draw Oxymoron
enter Waterstones contest
finish pile-up drawing
draw some ideas sitting around in my brain.
revise, dammit!
do schoolwork.

yeah, as you can see, I have loads of stuff I want to do! it's killing me...
Unfortunately, art and drawing are currently at the forefront of my brain, which isn't really that good. Considering I have a History AS next friday, and a Bio mock next thursday. (if I fail, I'm dooooomed...DX)

But it's worth it because christmas and new year were awesome. New year definately the best yet! I hope everyone got all the stuff they wanted and had a great holiday.

It's the Christmas holidays at last! I spent the first day of them fast asleep. Mainly because I didn't sleep last night, but whatever XD. It felt good only waking up at 6pm!

I got lovely christmas prezzies from all my lovely friends!
~Lottie-chan got me bath stuff
*becky-kitkat got me a Rukia and Kon figurine
*becky-kitkat and *Supercushion got me a Yoshi Tshirt (because i am the embodiment of yoshi...XD)
*Supercushion got me a Reno figurine
~Kayzar-Irish got me a Basement Jaxx CD
~Mashakosha got me letraset markers, damn him. That's what I'll be spending my money on from now on, despite swearing I wouldn't :'D
~ORIGINAL-VP-BABY got me a Madina Lake CD


I luffs them. Nobody can beat my friends for awesomeness.

Requests still not done:
~bloodredcry26 - angel thru forest and all that jazz
*becky-kitkat - shower
~colmana - kaiba from YuGiOh
~Ashen-Rose - girl in snow and all that jazz
these may not get done for a while because I have a backlog of stuff that is *no offence meant* more important than sketch requests.

Apart from that, I'm going away for christmas and new year, so I won't be on dA/email till after I get back. And even then I probably won't because I'll have last minute revision for my History Alevel, and my Bio mock.

Have a great christmas and happy new year!

and I jazzed up my gallery with dA's newest addition of gallery organisation! I have to say that's one of my favourite changes to dA! ^^ it makes my gallery feel so much nicer, and it's all neat and lovely! I like the fact that you can put the same pic in two different folders, and the whole thing is so shockingly user friendly - i was surprised it didn't take long to do, and didn't decide to screw up halfway through.

I've got a lot of art work to do, so that's why there haven't been many updates. I could post my art stuff, but I don't reckon it's good enough (and the stuff I'm really proud of is the sort of thing that most of my watchers wouldn't like, now that I come to think about it). But I'll be posting photographs of my final pieces, which are cringeworthily multicoloured and glittery, as per my usual.

Anywho, I don't really have that much to say...
XD

Yeah, something called a zwitterion exists. I thought it sounded random enough to put in a journal title (if you're wondering, it's when both groups in a living cell are ionised due to neutral PH and leaves the molecule positively charged at one end and negatively charged at the other. Zwitterion means double ion.) but scintiffic jabber is never good for the brain.

So BORED.
and I have such an evil headache.

anywhoo...

haha quess what guys? I'm halfway thru those sketch requests! ^_^ I'll post some once I can be bothered to scan them
currently I'm too busy listening to loud music and distracting myself.
Fantastic Four is a rubbish film, but my gawd what wouldn't i give to be the human torch! XD waaaaah! I'd love to be able to do that.

really, I should be doing art work. Wish me luck for our presentation of work on monday. We're showing our teachers our plans for the end result on our project "the body as..." mine is "the body as mind and soul". Funny, I haven't actually mentioned it to you guys, but nobody (except for you, clearly) reads jourals so whateverrr! XD so I don't suppose it matters. Anyway, the point is I'm not doing it when i should be...
no matter, I'll live!
Actually, I ache all over...but no matter, because dancing gets rid of itttt! Remember guys, dancing to cheesy songs round the house in your PJs/underwear is GOOD for you. Very good. Just remember to eat and possibly do homework too...

A couple were started and then completely thrown away...XD so they're down as not started. If you have a question/change to your request (only changes if it isn't started or is half finished) feel free!


Uhm...other than that, lots of love to you guys http://troublesomeANBUthing.deviantart.com/journal/15087033/ Tue, 16 Oct 2007 12:29:21 PDT I deleted all my messages.
WOW! It really is such a good feeling! ^_^ I feel all clean and happy! XDDD

I ONLY HAVE 6 MESSAGES!!! Just a small difference to the many thousands I had previously...
*basking in the glory*
the last one was from January this year. I thing they delete them automatically once they're over a year old, because I'm sure i had some from before then! XD
People who I was having conversations with; they have been discontinued because I've deleted them this is all for the good, so just start a convo here, or whatever! ^^
And it means I've deleted all the deviations in my inbox. I feel both horrendously mean and wonderfully liberated. ^_^ But that means that from now on, I'll actually be able to look and comment on a regular basis, I hope!

I'm also going to clear out my gallery soon. I'll delete a lot of my scraps, and move most of my current gallery stuff to scraps.

Okay, euphoria over.
SKETCH REQUESTS:
~bloodredcry26 - angel with different wigs (1 black and red, other white and blue), walking in forest with stream and glowey fairies.
~ladtec - Major from ghost in the shell, my character bios, and two neko girls playing with something. (neko girls finished)
~Kayzar-Irish - his seven characters!
~SuperHappyBunny - a knight that looks like him (hoho how amusing...XD ) riding a unicorn. (finished)
~ORIGINAL-VP-BABY - a broken angel sleeping on a dragon
*becky-kitkat - ballroom dancing couple, all trimmings. Energetic, dynamic, not romantic.

~Mashakosha - Either the races or the characters from his story.

The ones that say they're finished are (obviously...) finished! But I'm ploading them in bulk, so I want a bigger collection before I post them! I've also uploaded real stuff too!

and I have a week and a bit holiday starting Thursday, so I can start Oxymoron then! If you don't know what I'm talking about, get a liiiife!


And I also want to say thanks to the people who care! I love you guys, and I couldn't ask for anybody better!

Life is once again an interesting mixture of all sorts, some of you will know why and others won't. I'm not the sort of person who publishes their life on the net for all to read, so I'll leave it at that!



But anyways, school is going quite well, if only my biology homework would do itself. Remember guys, glyceraldehyde has a carbonyl group at carbon-1 and two hydroxyl groups, one at carbon-2 and one at carbon-3. It is an aldose because it has an aldehyde group, H-C=O. Heh.
XDD Biology is fun, if a little confusing at times.

I read Howl's Moving Castle - VERY different from the film, in many ways, but looking at it purely as a book, it isn't written as well as I expected it to be. Interesting all the same, and funny at times!

What else?
Developing negatives in the dark room is funnnn! We've been doing it as part of art and I'm loving it!
And I keep getting behind on Cold Mountain. There's so little time to read! (haha contradictory with the Howl's Moving Castle point, but it took me less than a day to read that whereas Cold Mountain requires some concentration.

My art block seems to finaly be going. I have two sketches, one of which has been thoroughly approved of by *Supercushion and *becky-kitkat

On a final note, I am taking anime sketch requests.
EDIT: PLEASE GIVE ME SKETCH REQUESTS. I do want to get out of this block and doing this will help, hopefully. I'd like more, with a bit more variety.
Whatever you like, just not ALL fanart please. No Yaoi/yuri. Nothing too perverted...(and no 'all-of-oxymoron-done-withing-the-next-two-years-plzkthx' from people. Yeah, I'm meaning several specific people here...XD )
If I genuinely like my sketch it may end up finished.
This is to help me get out of my art block so they'll be posted in lumps like [link] rather than individual pictures.
The more I like your request and it inspires me, the more likely it is to be finished.
EDIT: requests so far:
~bloodredcry26 - angel with different wigs (1 black and red, other white and blue), walking in forest with stream and glowey fairies.
~ladtec - Major from ghost in the shell, my character bios, and two neko girls playing with something.
~Kayzar-Irish - his seven characters!
~SuperHappyBunny - a knight that looks like him (hoho how amusing...XD ) riding a unicorn.
~ORIGINAL-VP-BABY - a broken angel sleeping on a dragon
*becky-kitkat - ballroom dancing couple, all trimmings. Energetic, dynamic, not romantic.
*Supercushion - Baby version of her character in bonnet, other character with fangs stuck in tree, own character and her sister.
~Deidaras-Girl - Xemnas x Saix from Kingdom Hearts
~Mashakosha - Either the races or the characters from his story.


Remember guys, I'm also unlikely to do a request from you if you're not a watcher who's been particularly interested in my stuff.
Just a gentle hint.

XD
haha let's see what you come up with!
