No more classes with pointless assignments (yes, they are pointless, I'm not just bitter), no more getting sick from the stress of school, no more not having a consistent job. I'll be happy again!

I've spent the last two days eating and watching movies with my darling hubby. We watched The Proposal, An American Tale, and The Addams Family Values. Tomorrow begins a solid two weeks of working on projects, so I'm living it up right now to make it through.

1) In the Red Forest comic--I just started coloring page 6 of 13, and I need to finish it by Dec 14.

2) promotional packet--Each Illustration 5 student has to create 25 copies of a promo mailer to send out into the world. Dec 9.

3) illustrator research paper and presentation--2000 paper and a corresponding PowerPoint presentation. Dec 4.

4) robot chicken--For Sculpture 1. The robot chicken will be made from construction foam sheathing. It doesn't technically have to be finished by the end of the semester, so it's probably not going to happen...

And now for something completely different

Last night I had a really long dream about zombies, probably fueled by Matt's constant playing of Left 4 Dead 2. I'm not going to write it all out, but I will say this: zombie whale. Yeah.

I have a betta fish, now; his name is Frederick. He's a deep red with light blue accents...pretty!

If you haven't seen Repo: A Genetic Opera, your life is incomplete, and you should be ashamed.

Oh, and I will be painting murals for an assisted living place right across from the school. I'll be making old people happy. I've also been working on stuff to sell in the annual Holiday Bazaar. We'll see how that turns out, eh?

I'm now happily married. We live at Hybrid's house, since his mom is in another state. No rent! Yay!

Back at McD's. It's okay, and I can basically do whatever I want there. Just wish the pay was better. I got Sundays and Mondays off, but it's hard to find time to hang out with people.

Hope this finds everyone well!

Love, V

Let me explain.

Hybrid is going to the navy, so if we get married before he starts all the navy-type stuff, we both get benefits. Plus we were going to one of these days, so why not sooner? I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I love him with an unconditional love, and I know he returns my love. We're willing to make sure to talk through any problems we have and keep each other happy until the end of our days.

So anyways, we're tying the knot, and my last name will be Maxwell. Crazy huh? Also, I feel bad for not being able to invite lots of people. Hybrid and I hope to have a fancy-ish wedding later on, and invite everybody and their dog. We just don't know when that'll be.

Hope everybody's doing good. I'm not on here much because of skool, but maybe in the summer things will change.

Love you all, V

Slipknot will be playing in Nashville on Feb. 15, along with Trivium and....COHEED & CAMBRIA.

Yes, I bought tickets for me and Hybrid. Yes, they are floor seats. Yes, they were quite expensive. No, I regret nothing.






That is all for now.

this is the original post.

This is NOT for real! Just for fun!!!!!






Dear Eralynia:

I don't really know how to tell you this, but you’re a pervert. I think I realized it that night in your apartment and I saw you carve your initials into that crazy monk. I'm sure you're middle class enough to understand that I’m open. I'm returning the couch cushions to you, but I'll keep your criminal record as a memory. You should also know that I will tell the authorities about eggplant-fetishism.

Your everlasting enemy,
V


Everyone should try it!

Loot I received list:
scanner/printer
Tripp armwarmers
Tripp flipflops
paper holder
copy paper
inflatable art frame

Now I tag you, reader; write a journal with your loot list!

Been working at McD's and Walmart. Some 11 hour days spent. I'm tired, but I can pull it off for a few more weeks until I go back to school. This is my last year, and I'm supposed to be done by next Christmas, if all goes well. It better, can't afford much more. This past semester I made all A's but one B, a 3.8 GPA, and Dean's List.

Here's looking at you, kids.

Love, V

I'm waiting to read my poetry to the customers of Java Cabana, a coffee shop here in Memphis. Poor souls.

When I go back home for winter break, I'll try to actually post some more art.

Friday is Katashi's b-day, and Sat is Hybrid's birthday. If you don't know these people, this does not effect you. Have a nice day.

Everyone: You WILL go watch The Punisher: War Zone tomorrow. Or else you suck.

Looking forward to Christmas. Here's my wishlist: a document stand, a scanner, and a desk lamp. That's really all I want, and the scanner's partly for school purposes.

Well, I should probably start getting ready for the reading.

Love, V

I am so looking forward to coming home for Thanksgiving; I'll probably leave Wed. morning, get there bout 2 or so. This will be the first short break that I won't have to work at McDonald's. I mean, I didn't work there over the summer, but that doesn't count.

Been feeling pretty crappy lately because it's been overcast for several days in a row here in Memphis. I like overcast, but it still has a humanizing effect on me.

I put new airfresheners in my car. They said wildberry flavor, but now my car smells exactly like Smarties candy. Weird.

Struggling to find an internship for next semester. Who knew it was so difficult to find people wanting free art and labor, huh? Next semester I'll be a senior, and an internship looks good on your resume, and helps you network and all that jazz. Problem is the ones sponsored by my school are all for photographers and graphic designers. Though I have a little training in each subject, I LOATHE them, truly. I'm having trouble finding one for an illustrator. However, I plan to spend this Monday trying to find one. Wish me luck.

Went to Hot Topic the other day. That place has changed, for the worse. They are catering to the punk/prep trend, and they've pushed out a bit of their goth stuff. Such a waste.

Well, can't think of anything interesting to say. My life is just a boring blur of homework and daily needs. Kinda tired of this pattern, and maybe when I get out of school, I can break the cycle. Alas, until I leave MCA, I will be its slave.

On that positive note,

Love V

My blog is [link], so look it up because I have to post art every week for class.

Been pretty busy, and I'm trying to make merchandise to sell at MCA's Holiday Bazaar Sale. Good way to get press, too.

I'm glad O'Bama won, if not just for the fact that it's making all the racist jerks out there mad. Ha, ha, you ignorant people!

Wish I had more to say...

Oh, I did go to a Renaissance Fair a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome! I've never seen so many weapons in one place. Also, I got to see a mummy's...uh, thingie. Weird!

With that thought,
Love, V

I feel like a machine, cranking out as much art as possible. I'm also writing for my Fiction and Poetry classes. I'm doing great in Fic, but my poetry is not up to par. Oh well, I enjoy Fic more.

I have mixed feelings about Saw 5. I haven't seen it yet, but they're gonna have to step it up if they're going to keep the series going. I hope for the best.

It's getting late, so I'm gonna go sleepy now.

Love, V

I saw two chipmunks wrestling on the steps of the art museum.

Also I have some homework and stuff.


Ha ha! jk. I have more to say than that.
I'm working with a graphic designer on an entry for the National Portfolio Day Association poster contest.

I've also written a few short stories for my Fiction class and poems for my Poetry class. You guys might see some of those soon, if I get around to it. I have a lot of stuff, but I just never put any up. Some day I will try to get my act together, and your mailboxes will be filled with all of my art! MU-HU-HAHAHAHA!

I will be coming home 10-03 to 10-07 for break. Alex Grey (guy who does art for latest Tool albums) is giving a talk in Eureka, and I am so going, heck or high water.

And just for kicks:



I dunno; I just find him repulsive.

Ahh...so Matt-deprived....

I'll be using Labor Day for just that and getting a head start on some of my long-term class projects.

Watched Iron Man for the third time at the $2.50 theater and still loved it.

Friday night, we went to Petco and got to hold baby corn snakes. I think I'll try to get one in the near future. They're so cute, and they only eat once a week. But I would have to keep it hidden in my dorm, so we'll see how things work out.

Miss everyone back home, especially my Hybrid. Happy birthday to my parents, five days apart. Sisters, you'd better tell them after you read this!

Well, go to get back to the grindstone.

Love, Vic

I BOUGHT A REALLY EXPENSIVE COMPUTER AND IT'S AWESOME AND IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a iMac G5, 20" screen, 250Gb hard drive. It's super-fast, and it can bluetooth with my phone! I am pleased.

Just a WalMart zombie recently. Haven't drawn anything but silly pics for , an account dedicated solely to Devil May Cry's Dante. You should check it out; it's freakin' hilarious!

Also, I got a cartilage piercing in my right ear. It's healing pretty well, and it's a gage 16 or 14. You know me; always with the slicing and dicing.

Hopefully, I'll be able to put more stuff up now that I have a super-cool computer. Hopefully; if I don't get reaaallly lazy.

I'm going to try to do a drawing for my ppiercer because he said he'd redo my eyebrow for free. (For those who don't know, I did have it done, but the skin pushed it out.) Also I still want to work on painting that room divider. A few days ago Cure, BlackJack and I drew a bunch of Dantes from Devil May Cry, so you might end up seeing a few of those soon. They're very...amusin.

well, I have to go.

Harold and Kumar 2: Escape from G. Bay is good for a laugh when you're feeling down, but it's a little predictable.

P.S. I Love You is a bawl-your-eyes-out chick flick. Bring tissues and enjoy seeing King Leonidas's soft side.

The Waitress is one of those movies made only to win awards. The movie makes you hate everyone in it at least once, and it has many faux-endings, just like the last Lord of the Rings.

And if you haven't seen Ironman yet, kick yourself in the rear, you silly fool!

If you haven't heard, I started working late night stocking at Wal-Mart. It's a lot of work, but I'm getting paid 7.70 an hour. Plus, I get an hour lunch and two fifteen minute breaks, which are all luxeries one does not receive at the Golden Arches.

Matt and I are doing very well, and we long to escape the suck-tastic vortex that is this lousy town. I hope to do so after I finish college so I can help him start school the same way he helped me.

Unfortunately, haven't done much art. I keep hoping to and telling myself that I will tomorrow, still nothing happens. It could just be that I still need to recouperate from school; this past semester was my second most difficult to date. Might be able to motivate myself to do some later today. Ha ha.

Love you all, V

I've started to paint the room divider I found in Memphis. It's going to have a goth chick on a gargoyle spout that's spurting blood. Nice and gothic.

HYBRID and I are as happy as can be to be close to each other again. Though we dream of moving out, it's just not possible yet, so we bide our time. Yesss.

I have been relaxing and trying to recover from the stress of school. I can only hope next semester is better.

Sorry all my watchers, but it's just hard for me to submit deviations from my Arkansas home, no good computering.

I brake for turtles.

Love Vic

Anyway, things you should see/listen to: Metalocolypse, Dethklok, ZZTop's Eliminator, Amon Amarth. If you don't, then you can not truly be complete.

For those of you back home, I should get there Friday sometime in the afternoon or evening. If anyone's available, I think I'll try to go see Iron Man on Sat, if I feel like it (more driving, bleh!).

I got hired to do some illustrations for this acupuncture doctor in Memphis, and I'll be working for $10 an hour! I could even work on them when I go back home, but he has yet to give me an assignment.

Also, I dyed my hair bright magenta-red again. Looks pretty awesome, and it blinds people!

About to go crazy from missing Hybrid. He's coming here to help me move, though. Can't wait to see him!

I miss my family and friends, too!

Well, I'll be home soon, never soon enough! Can't wait!

Other than that, same old, same old. Have just enough money to survive and no extra, but that's alright. Probably won't be able to go back home until March, spring break.

It is an instructional comic about how to look goth. I know my fangirls will love it!

Poor. Work. Friends. School. Life as usual. Miss HYBRID. Looking forward to my next visit home; it might be a coupla weeks depending on my workload.

Last night, me and RadicalCat watched this awesome video about underwater sea creatures that had, like, neon colors and big teeth. There were all kinds of fantastic and scary animals. It was the sort of thing you'd see on a screen at a rave or something. The best part of all was the pygmy seahorses! Look em up, they're cute!!!! And they're the size of a grain of rice.

Anyways, just wanted to say hi! I'm still alive!

Watched Gibbs (NCIS for those of you probies who don't know who Gibbs is). Then did a little research for a possible comic.

I feel like I haven't done anything productive. I guess because I've been working to gather some $$ to make it through the semester.

Oh well, I am sick after all.

One las thing: my b-day is the 15. I'll be so old!

Rules:

1. You have to post the rules
2. Every person who was tagged has to write eight things about themselves
3. You have to write them in your journal
4. After that, tag some people
5. And go to that persons page and tell them about it

--

About me:

1. I like to ride the dirt bike, but I hate the fourwheeler.

2. I didn't see the ocean until I was 18.

3. Thereisnocure4me and gothicfarmgirl490 are my sisters.

4. My boyfriend bares a slight resemblence to Sephiroth. I'm not kidding.

5. I graduated valedictorian of my high school.

6. I had pneumonia twice in as many years and survived. I also had to get four shots in my rear to get rid of it.

7. I've driven more vehicles than most people will in their lifetime.

8. I loathe big, shiny suvs that people just use to drive around town. That's why gas is $3.00 a gallon, you fools!

Anyway, that's me.

I'm most thankful to be out of my design class. Taught me well, but was a pain in the buttox.

Anyways, I've thought of a series of illustrations for an original story. GothicFarmGirl inspired me to make a book in which all of my friends and myself die. The great part about it is that I have to come up with really ironic deaths, kinda like Final Destination. Also, my Illustration instructor suggested that we think about the first assignment for Illustration 2 over the break. Our assignment: Make a scroll featuring 100 demons in a procession.

No shortage of fun for me.

Also, I will be doing drawings for Christmas, so just tell me whatever you want (except porn, save that for you b-day).

Well, that's about it for now.

Love, Vic

As I'm sure you all loved my last baby pic, I'll be posting the colored version soon.

If you haven't already, buy the new Coheed album. It'll take some getting used to, but you'll be glad you did. Trust me. They beautifully maintain their Floyd influence and allude to other classic rock bands as well. Their most rocking song is #2 or #3, the title track, I believe. Listen. NOW!!!

I'll be home a little over a week for Thanksgiving, so look forward to seeing some of my home friends. Sadly, I will be working four of those days, but after 5, the party starts.

Also, check out Perfect Circle's Emotive album. It's really great, especially from an anti-war point, good political criticism. Plus, it's PerCir; with them you just can't go wrong, people!!!

Love ya, Vic

I have a cool illustration piece that I'll be putting up real soon. It involves pro-wrestlers. Cody and Josh, you guys'll love it! For the rest of you...courage.

Been sooooo stinking busy recently, but hopefully, I will go home about a week from now.

A cool Youtube video is "Whitest Kids You Know: Space Potatoes." It helped me survive my Design Systems homework.

God bless.

Yes, it's back to Memphis for me. So far things are going well, but not cheap, as supplies and books keep accumulating.

My roommate RadicalCat bought a pet newt named Axius, Terror of the Briny Deep. He is hours of entertainment.

I drew a cool cd cover for one of my burnt albums. Maybe I will post it this week.

6. I've driven more vehicles than most people will during their lifetime. At least twenty different kinds. At least.

Oh, I am so angry right now! I have important photos on that card; my only option is to take them to Walgreens to have them developed. Unnecessary expense.

I was already mad because I spent an hour looking for the post office that had my certified check, and I didn't make it to the bank on time. So now I have no money I can use until tomorrow, and I don't have any decent food at home. I have peanut butter, cereal, and cheese. Also, I've got less than a quarter tank of gas. That's it.

Well, I should still be thankful that these are my only worries and that I'm not some starving Ethiopian child.

But still...major aggrivation.

So angry....

I have all the time-consuming (total Co&Cam reference) and expensive classes this semester, as I'm taking six classes, totaling sixteen credit hours. I pray every day that I can make it through these next four months alright. Right now I'm putting off doing some work, but I'm really trying hard to keep everything going.

So much for putting more work up. So far, all I've done is write papers for my classes. Bleh! I hate writing papers, especially when they must be so many words or pages!

One-loser read me this book he bought called "Post Secret." I recommend everybody have a look at least because it's really cool.

Now this slave must get back to work.

Remember God is with us. No matter how tough things get.

The party has been moved to Saturday the 16th. We will all meet in the Wal*Mart parking lot behind Movie Gallery at 2 pm. The party will last until my parents get sick of all us, or until your parents want you back.

You all know my number, and if you don't, you know someone who does.

Looking forward to seeing all you again!

Love Vic

If anyone who is reading this hasn't read Katashi Vanhandel's most recent deviation, DO IT! It's awesome, and personally, I can't wait to read more! You have very good English, Samurai.

I plan to return to Arkansas on the 12th (if I hadn't told you already).

Good news: I will have enough credits by next semester to be considered a sophomore! However, I will struggle more because I'm going to have more hard classes, so I'm afraid I won't get to come home as often. I figure since Dad is paying for this my first year, then I'd better get as much in as I can.

Last but certainly not least, DemonicAngelHybrid's birthday is on the 6th! He'll be legal! j/k! Happy birthday, my love!

See ya soon! God bless!
Love Vic

I will try to post more work as soon as possible. Trust me.

I plan to come home this Friday, so everybody watch out! I'll be back in town *corny western music plays in the background*.

I hear my people are falling apart, and this makes me very sad. But I will change that with my party, Saturday, Nov. 18. Everybody is invited to my house in the country for grub and a movie (please bring some so we can vote). The time is around 7 p.m. but that is flexible if need be (like your mom, ha ha).

Love you guys!
Vic

Everyone, you should check out my friend SonataOfDarkness. My fellow student is into all the stuff we're into, and he's an awesome artist.

Well, next time I come home from the 17-26, so I will try to see everyone then. EVERYONE. That means you, my samurai; you know who you are.

By the way, remember today is the 5th of November, so watch V for Vendetta if you can. Love that movie!

Love you all more,
Vic

I have my car back, and somebody egged it the day before Halloween. Grrr...

I brought a Windows 98 desktop computer here, but it lacks an Ethernet port, so it might be a little longer until I'm able to post actual work.

Sorry I haven't commented on anybody's stuff in a few days. Right now I'm on a library computer, and they don't let you comment on this site. But as soon as I get time, I will comment once more!

Well, I've delayed some homework that's due tomorrow.

I love you all very much!

Sincerely, Vic

ps. Check out Matt's page for a pic he drew of me. It's freaking awesome!

Something I'm proud of: having the highest grade in my 2-D design class.

We have to do a book project for math class. So odd, but it's about a book called Flatland. Apparently, in Flatland, there are only two demensions instead of three. A guy from Flatland visits our realm and then returns to his own, only to be imprisoned for his "insanity."

Well, for all my Berryville friends, I demand (not ask, but demand) we all go to the Corn Maize either Oct 27 or 28. Ok, maybe I am asking, but you know I'm messing with you.

Love you all
Vic

But of course, every time I go back it just makes me miss home more when I'm away. Even if Memphis is fantasic, whether I like it or not, Berryville is always my home.

Today I finished my bronze rooster! I can't wait to give it to my mommy for Christmas. Hmm...still need to finish soldier-x's b-day gift. Give me time, my friend; I assure you I have not forgotten.

When I come back for Halloween, everybody HAS TO GET TOGETHER to go to the Corn Maize. Or else...

Love all you guys,

Vic

You know, if someone would have told me a year and a half ago that Matt liked me, I would've doubted their sanity. I never thought that someone as cute and fun as him would be interested in little ol' me. And now, when I talk to him every day, I still wonder if our relationship has just been a dream; surely it is too good to be the real world. I really love him, and he loves me back. And I'm amazed by this daily.

I miss my friends a whole bunch, too. I especially miss riding to Fayetteville or Harrison with the Co and Cam blaring, anticipating a movie or a visit to the mall. Those are some good times...

But anyway, enough mush.

In Metals, I made a wax sculpture of a rooster (a gift for my mommy), and it will be fired and replaced by bronze, I think. It was so fun sculpting it that I might even consider a career in just doing the wax models.

In Drawing 2 I'm working from a tree on the Brooks Museum grounds. It finally started to come together yesterday, which is good because it's due tomorrow. Still, I'm getting tired of trees. I much prefer nudes.

My newest assignment in 2-D Design is to create a self-portrait using white, black, and three shades of gray paper. I really like self-portraits, so I know I will enjoy it, even if it is my midterm grade.

I hope everybody back home is doing well.

Love you guys,
Vic

Secondly: Everyone should check out my MCA buddies KnightofChrist and Radical-cat. Their accounts are new, but you will be in for a treat!

Thirdly: *sighs* I feel like God has blessed me more than I deserve: I've got awesome friends, a supportive family, useful talents, some good food (ramen noodles! not!), and the coolest guy I know is my boyfriend. What did I do to deserve all of you? (heh, Co and Cam reference) But seriously, I have no clue why the good Lord gave me so much, but I am very grateful!

Progress report: Still doing good in school. Yesterday I found a nice cloth trenchcoat for $13! Even though I'm not very rich right now, no way was I gonna pass that up. It's a little big, so I'm gonna have my mom tailor it to fit just right.
A couple of days ago, someone in my dorm was playing Co and Cam on their electric guitar, and I could hear it in my room. It made me smile. Last night they played some Tool! Yay!

some projects are just projects, but when I get one I like, there's no quitting. I have to force myself to eat and sleep when I get so involved in a piece, and I absolutely love the feeling!

I drew a portrait of my fav model (Matt) over the weekend, and I am very happy with the way it turned out. I really love portraiture, and I really love Matt.

well, I'm doing well here. haven't got sick, I'm not living on ramen noodles, and I don't party, drink or smoke (nasty!). I'm trying hard to be more outgoing and to push myself to do as much as possible. I'm also trying to be a good Christian role model, and my awesome friends here make that fun.

I hope everybody who sees this is doing good, and I take it from your journals that you are, at least reasonably.

I love you all!
Love, Vic

I had such a great time seeing everybody; I love them so much! It was great being with the gang outside Walmart, all dressed in black. Yes, I was home again!

Now I'm back in school, just doing my work. I'm thinking of getting the Co and Cam symbol tatooed in lime green on my ankle and also getting my navel pierced. Found a place here in town that gives MCA students a discount! Score!

In metals class we're doing lost wax casting, and I'm making my mom a rooster figurine because she collects them. For drawing class, I drew a pic of Matt while I was at home, and it looks awesome, just like him. Math class is so easy; history tests are hard; and 2-d design is fun on occasion. so far I think I have a b average, which is good, cuz I could certainly use more scholarship $$$$.

I can't describe how fun it is here in Memphis. There are so many things to do, and it's the South, so everyone is really hospitable. I especially love living on my own (well, with my roommate Siph). No parents bothering me, I can do what I want when I want, and I LOVE IT!!!!!! I'm sure I make Matt jealous because he can't wait to get out of the house, and I tell him stories about how it's so awesome.

I'm also so excited to finally go to a concert!! And it's Alice In Chains!!!! YAY!

Hope everyone is doing ok.

God bless you guys!
Love Vic

I took my car to a Mazda dealership to have them look at my inexplicable problem. Two and a half hours later, they tell me they can't find anything wrong, yet they said I didn't have to pay for the diagnostic since they couldn't find the problem. So on the way back, it does the downshifting thing, and I about screamed a word I don't allow myself to say. I'm like, "Why couldn't you do that while they were checking you?!"

So all I lost was three and a half hours.

I'm debating whether or not to drive home next weekend. I really miss everyone. It's just my car is fickle, and a long trip will limit my homework time. Decisions, decisions....

God bless everybody!

I need to do my homework, run errands, and call people.

I just wish I could post more work, but alas, I am without the means right now!

Love to everybody!

Vicki ]]> ~whiterose54 http://whiterose54.deviantart.com/journal/9977201/ http://whiterose54.deviantart.com/journal/9977201/ Tue, 05 Sep 2006 13:25:54 PDT
Well, I have continued to read Mars, a romance manga, but I won't get the next one until next week!

Saturday my family and Matt came to visit me, and we went to the Memphis Zoo which is right across the street from MCA. Even though I get in for free after 3 on Tuesdays, I hadn't been to it, so everything was new to me. We had a great time, but they had to leave at 7:30 that evening. Of course, I begged them to stay, but Dad had to get back to the farm. In any case it was a big morale boost.

Not that I was overly homesick. I've been having a great time here, besides missing all of my beloved friends! You guys are the best, and I miss you! I am determined to come home Oct 27 so we can have a Halloween celebration!

Love always

I've met some really cool people, and my classes are going well. Today I got transferred out of a class because I had already taken it back in high school. Instead, I added a class called "Topics in Math" because I enjoy a good intellectual challege (and it meshes with the rest of my schedule).

My other classes include: Art History, 2-D Design, Intro to Metalsmithing, and Drawing 2.

I also enjoy living almost on my own. My roommate is cool, and I come and go from the dorm as I please. And (although I do sometimes because it is a good idea) I'm not forced to tell anyone where I'm going every time I leave. I guess I love the freedom of it.

I really miss all of my people: Matt, Jennifer, Cody, Dylan, Mary, Will, Jonny, Felix, Josh, Destiny, and everybody! Oh, and my familia, as well.

God bless everybody, and stay safe!
Love always, Vicki

I feel really depressed today. Maybe it is the heat, but sometimes I just feel down for no reason. I'm hoping it passes soon because I don't want to be mopey when Matt comes home Saturday.

I'm really tired of my grandma asking me to eat all the freaking time! It's like she thinks I'm anorexic or something. I am in no way wasting away, and I eat when I get hungry. I do not forget to eat!

Shane quit McDonald's, and Destiny and I miss his stupid jokes.

Wow, this feeling sucks; I reaallly hope it goes away soon!

Well, now I can talk about the good things that have been happening lately. I've been spending a lot of time with my friends, except Emily because she is really busy with all her college and b-ball stuff right now.

And I can't really remember the past week; it went by so fast.

I think I'll wrap this up, and try and cheer myself up now.

God bless you all!

I've done a little drawing, and I will be posting those right now!

Mostly I've been hanging out with my friends and family. I'm dead broke except for my savings, so that limits my fun until payday. sigh.

Right now I'm listening to Korn's new live album. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Love you all,
Vicki ]]> ~whiterose54 http://whiterose54.deviantart.com/journal/9189075/ http://whiterose54.deviantart.com/journal/9189075/ Mon, 26 Jun 2006 12:15:33 PDT
I really want to put more of my work up, but the jpgs are especially large and hard to work with. I don't know how to downsize them, so until someone teaches me, I probably won't be able to post them.

I haven't been doing much art lately. I need to sleep most of the day to do well at my job, so I haven't had waking time to draw. The desire is there; I just need the time. I'm still not a night person.

Well, I hope this journal finds you happy and healthy.

I love you all!
Vicki ]]> ~whiterose54 http://whiterose54.deviantart.com/journal/9106955/ http://whiterose54.deviantart.com/journal/9106955/ Sun, 18 Jun 2006 15:44:43 PDT
well, I have been working the graveyard shift at McD's. I'm not much of a night person, but I love my coworkers (and I want to keep my piercing).

The best reaction to my metal was my friend Sarah, whose exact words were, "Vicki!! What is that in your face?!!" Nathan Hale saw me today at Wally world and said that he was jealous!

Haven't done much art lately, but I intend to soon. Matt has me into drawing Sephiroth. He is so fun to draw because there are so many features one can play with and alter.

Well, I will go to Memphis late August. I'm really excited about all the awesome art I'll be able to create. However, I know I'm going to get really homesick because I'm going to miss all of my friends so much! That is why I will try to come back about once a month, if I can afford the gas.

I feel like creating now.

God bless you all!

even tho it's only been 4 days since I saw him, I miss Matt so much! I try everything I can to take my mind off it, but it hardlly helps. I love him too much for that!

I need to sleep now, so here's the end of my second journal.

God bless

umm...I'm in Florida right now with my bf and it's pretty cool here. this is the longest I've ever been away from my family, but I guess I'll have to get used to it when I go to college. speaking of memphis college of art we drove by it on the way down here, and that is the first time I've actually seen it.

I've seen the ocean now. wasn't as cool as I thought it'd be but to each her own. I also met matt's old martial arts teacher, went to a huge mall, saw the omen on 6-6-06, and watched a lot of WoW.

I'm excited about my new job at Labarge. I'll be assembling wiring harnesses for tanks, missles, planes, and other crazy things. makes me feel important. plus I'll be making 7.75 an hour (total score!)

well this maybe the only journal I ever have time to write, yet all good things must come to an end.

Love you all! God bless you!
