Let's start with the bad news so that we can end this journal with a happy note.
Today I had my jury of etching and they decided that I'm not worthy of going on to my second year.
Wich came as a blow to me, although I kept it in considdering that it might happen. But I never expected it to actually be this way.
They said my drawing skills improved but not good enough to let me go through.
As a positive accent they said that my photoshopped sketches where really good and that I had potential to study further in those kind of things. But when they said what my score for photoshop was and that it was lower or the same as the rest of the class I was really pissed.
If you don't have anything good to say about my work then don't make up anything in an attempt to make me feel better.
Schijnheiligaards!
And when I got home I was expecting some sweet and carring words from my parents, but the only they said said was: 'I could have used better news' (So do I dad!)
But anyway, the good news....
Now I have a month and half to work on the stuff I was supposed to work on, so that will finally be done ^^
And also now I can really start designing my boyfriend's tattoos Wich I am really exited about!
So let's start enjoying all this free time!

See you next time!
Toedels

But I figured out that I need a time machine to create more time so that I could actually do all those things.
But vacation is comming up, so hopefully I'll have the time to do everything, if I don't get stuck with redoing some exams in august.
So, what have I been doing lately?
We're etshing these days and it's been hell trying to finish them all since we have very little time, alot of etshing to do and lots of people printing and joy we have only one machine to print.(Don't know how it's called in English)
Besides the mad house in etshing class I'm in my exams now. Not that I have many exams (just anatomy and art history), BUT art history is a monster. Knowing periods and artist from the whole year, meaning from the middel ages until realism. It's insane
And also I'm creating tattoo's for my boyfriend at the moment and the dragon is one of them.
The other 2 are huge projects so it will take a while before I get them on here. But in the meanwhile let's hope I'll get some things uploaded from my last journal.
Anyway, that's all for today...

Toedels!

I'v been quite productive lately
But I'm trying to keep you all updated to my latest stuff.
Hope you don't mind
Anyway, I'm going to try to do some photoshopping soon, hope it works.
But I will keep you all informed

For the rest, I'm planning on doing a little photoshoot with myself and some atributes and special make up. Don't know if it's going to happen.
I first have to find a nice location where I can shoot without being distrubed and I have to see if the poses that I have in mind are realistic.
Only one way to find out ofcourse
And I'm also planning on doing a photoshoot with one of my most beloved things, my bass.
I really want to give her some more attention and what other way to make a girl happy with some beautiful photgraphs of herself?

Besides that I don't have much more to tell, so I'll just leave it with that.
Oh, just one more thing (for those who might be interessted)
Me and my boyfriend are going to live together in the summer!
Whiii!
Oke so that was it

Untill readings!

I can’t begin to describe I how I enjoyed it.
Let’s just have a quick overview about what happened.

Friday 12/12 = I went to the movie with my hun. We went to see Madagascar 2. We were just a bit scared that it would be a copy of the first one. But luckily that wasn’t the case ^^.
The humour remains as funny as the first movie and the story is also very good. Especially Moto Moto’s song is hilarious!
To see a part of it I direct you to this link :

Have fun watching it!

Saturday 13/12 = Today we are getting ready to go to Hof ter Lo, to Filth Fest.
We were supposed to go together with a friend of mine (Sepp) and his girlfriend, who specially flew over from Australia to see Cradle and Moonspell.
But after waiting half an hour and freezing our ass off we went inside, sadly we didn’t see them that evening.
Even sending them a message isn’t an option because I always got a message that the sending failed.
And now for the line-up of that evening:
The evening starts with Azrai, a Dutch group of a Belgian, don’t really know. Anyway, they had did a good job performing although I didn’t see or hear a lot of them. This due to the fact that I was looking through the merch stands.
After Azrai came Sceptic Flesh. Again, not much to write about them either.
It was like I was mentally not there, but I do recall something of good music.
And then we have Moonspell.
One of the bands I was looking forward to.
I had seen them on Graspop ’08 and did like their music a lot
There was a lot of atmosphere on the stage and the beautiful projection added another level to the atmosphere. The group was better than what I remember of them on Graspop, so that is always a good thing ^^
And then we have Gorgoroth *sigh*
Suddenly I see the place filling with all kinds of Death Metal people and with them 4 gigantic crosses on stage.
4 naked people, 2 girls, 2 guys come on the stage and take place on the crosses.
Unfortunately most of my attention went to these 4 characters.
The music was kind of good, only in my ears it seemed that every song sounded like the previous one.
Their big home made pins were sticking out in every direction. And I was thinking by myself that the worst thing that could happen now is if they would decide to give me a big hug.
I was really surprised by the lack of interaction with the public.
They come on the stage, started playing without speaking one word and just as I thought that their song was ridiculous long they went off stage.
The singer was someone who caught my eye once in a while, mostly out of astonishment.
He didn’t say a word to the audience and the only interaction was that when he wasn’t singing he stood in front of the audience with one arm forward, just standing there. Doing nothing.
Strange, very strange.
So naturally I was glad their performance was over.
And then, the band we were waiting for ^^ Cradle of Filth
With a nice cemetery looking background they entered the stage.
And what did you expect? When Danni came up there was suspiciously much female yelling.
They played a nice set with some tracks from their new album.
It was good to hear every album being represented by a song.
And with the comments of Danni and his usual ‘his one is entitled’.
Anyway I was a very pleased human when they left the set ^^
After a successful evening we end the day with a visit to the night shop and a movie at my place.

Sunday 14/12= To me thé big day.
We stay in bed for a long time, until it’s almost noon, get op to eat something and watch Dracula 3.
After that we get ready to go as I get a phone call from one of my best friends. Machine head won’t be playing tonight, bugger.
Their guitarist fainted or something, with the consequence that the rest of their tour is being cancelled. Not such a disaster, but still bugger.
When we arrive at the concert hall (Lotto Arena) what do I see? A line of people as far as the eye can see.
Luckily we knew some people who knew people, so It took us about 20 minutes to get in, wonderful ^^
Once we entered we purchase our slipknot t-shirt and move on to find a place to stand or to sit.
Apparently we will be sitting all the standing places are already taken. But we have a perfect overlook and we aren’t seated properly as the first sounds of COB rise up. And immediately the first mosh pit is being formed, of which more will follow.
Their set takes about an hour and I along with many others are enjoying it with every fibre in our body. Their interaction with the public is good a... ]]> ~xyphra http://xyphra.deviantart.com/journal/18780964/ http://xyphra.deviantart.com/journal/18780964/ Wed, 11 Jun 2008 09:20:47 PDT Woohoo ^^ It's almost time for the biggest metal event in Belgium. Looking so forward to it!
Although I have noticed some strange things on the site.
Pretty many luxery products are making their way into the camping.
For example: the 'festihut' some kind of bungalow on the camping provided with beds. For the people who are tired of dragging with their tents....
If you ask me a festival cannot go without a tent.
Seems pretty ridiculous to me.
Anyway, I dont see many people going to sleep in some kind of bungalow.
Feel free to give your opinion
Here is the link to the famous cabins

I hope I wont act to lazy by not posting things and so now I finally know how to.
But I'm sure some people will remind me from time to time to update.
Pom Pom Pom....Euhm, not sure if there is something else left for me to say.
So euhm, if you have a question, just ask. I've never killed someone for asking me something (yet) ^^

And even make some work of my profile here.
But I hope this is going to be the beginning of current updates.
I haven't figured out how this all works here but I hope to find that out soon.
Anyway that's it for now, I hope I will post something very soon now
