   New picture
Well, I've drawn a new picture. Normally I don't do fanart, I stick to original characters. But I felt like drawing some inuyasha fanart, so I now have a picture of Inuyasha holding Kagome in his arms. Awww ^^

Sadly, my image host is down, so I can't show you. But I like this one, so it will probably go through to fanart this time ^_^

I can't decide whether I should colour it using cg or pencils. I suppose I can do both, but what would you most like to see?

Mum threw a psyco fit at me this morning. I was drawing the picture instead of filling out my application form for yet another supermarket. I don't want to work in a supermarket, but mum really wants me to get a job and I could do with the money. She realised that I didn't do it last night, and, when I had 5 minutes till I had to leave to catch school bus, she told me to do it, or she wouldn't take me to the bus stop.

That's a bad thing, because I live about 40 minutes walk from the bus stop in morning traffic, so I couldn't possibly make it. Thats also how long it takes me to walk to the public bus stop, and by the time it next arrived I would be so late it wouildn't be worth going to school.

Why bother going to school? Well, I promised my friend I would be there so I could do another performance of the japanese magic show play for our class ^_^
So I had to be there. After a gigantic argument, I convinced mum I would drop it off on the way home. She said, if I didn't drop it off, I wouldn't be allowed home until I did. She has serious problems ^_~

Of course, I did drop it off. I do love my mother, y'know. Most of the time anyway.

Also, on a brighter note, I've borrowed a "How to draw Manga" book off my friend. She's awesome, she has a better style than me although she won't admit it. Her linework is much better. Theyre pretty good, I like being able to read through stuff for reference instead of getting it off the web. So that was fun ^_~

In English class, we had to write an entire story without using the letter 'e'. It's really hard. My group rewrote Pinocchio, which is one of the only fairytales without an e in it's title ^-^

I have yet another graphics project to do, so I'd better go and do it before my most angry mother gets home ^_^

Errrm... Sorry guys ^^
That last post was a total shambles. Absolutely. I apologise sincerely, but it is fixed now... still without the photo though, I believe I need to start looking for a new image host. Any suggestions?

Last night, I had to perform a play. In Japanese.

Well, it wasn't that hard, in fact it was really fun, and we came 3rd place out of 10 or so other entries. Awesome. We even got prizes ^.^

It was about a magic show, I was one of the assistants. The other assistant didn't know his lines, so I had to do a few of them, but it didn't matter. All I said was "Hai",
"Onamaewa nan desuka", "Minnasan, kochirawa Stiibun desu",
"Kazoku wa nannin desuka", "Kazoku wa sannin desu",
"Doko kara kimashitaka", "Hokkaidokara kimashita",
Hold up an applause sign and smile while wearing bright red lipstick. Easy as pie ^_~

Well, that was boring enough. I've just gotten back home from a surprise party for my friend who is leaving at the end of the year *cries*

I've known her for 10 years, its so sad shes leaving. We went into the middle of town and had dessert at this awesome restaurant- they specialise in desserts. Yummmmm...

I feel so fat now -.- I ate the most delicious chocolate cake drenched in rasberry sauce and gourmet icecream that ever lived. Well, you know what I mean ^_^
It was presented so nicely too. If I can manage it, I'll show you a photo of it. It was absolutely scrumptious.

Well, I'd better go digest now.
Sayoonara!

   Well...
Exams are a total timesponge.

I haven't been here for ages! So sorry guys, I'll see if I can make it round tonight...

Well, I still have Japanese and Graphics exams to go, but I'm not too worried. I think I'll be fine...

Well, I have a photo to show you of a book cover I made for my friend-who-is-leaving's book of quotes cover.

BUT My picture host wont let me load it. I'll reboot and see what happens in a minute, but fore now -_- This space is blank.

However, I do have something interesting for this post. Very interesting. In fact, its actually worth looking at. Yup, it's the band of my new favourite song 'it's too late'.

EVERMORE

Check the song out at

www.evermoreband.com

I could listen to that loop over and over and over and over. In fact, I have.
Better still, theyre a NZ band. I love supporting Kiwi music ^-^

Well, better go restart the computer then...

   Hey guys! Fireworks tonight!
Hey there- today it's guy fawkes, which means we get to play with fireworks all night long.

Tee hee hee ^_~ No sleep for my neighbourhood tonite! Just blame it on the clever people who invent holidays just for pyromaniacs like me. What friendly, intelligent people they must be!

I'm celebrating with my youth group- it should be fun, but hopefully this year we end up with a range of fireworks, and not just the cheap ones from the Warehouse. Thats what happened last year. It got kinda boring by the end... -.-

I also have a new pic to show you- I'm going to colour it soon, but until then i'm not submitting it to fan art. Well here it is- it's a request from my friend stephen. He asked for a goth girl with a whip. I'm not quite sure why though O_o



Anyway, the song I've been getting stuck in my head recently is Gwen Stefani's "What you waiting for?", and after seeing the video, I've been inspired to draw an Alice in Wonderland set of pics. However, exams are in a week so it will have to wait.

I have to go get ready for tonight, so bye!

Iris...
Howzit guys? Again I should be doing homework but... well, you know.

Anyway, we are currently studying Plant Reproduction in science. Great fun. Anyway, the teacher has been bringing in cuttings from various plants that will grow if you just stick them in the ground. He brought in an Iris bulb, and after showing how to split it and slash off the top leaves so it would continue to grow, asked if anyone would like to take some of it home to plant in the garden.
I immediately said yes, seeing as Iris' are my favourite flower. So, I got to take a plant home, and it is now sitting happily in the garden outside my bedroom window.

It looks like this... Not the best. When/If it flowers, I'll show you.


Now another chore has been added to my already hectic scheme- water the Iris. Still, it's my choice. I'm just hoping it doesn't wilt, and that it's flowers will be the same glorious purple as the parent plant- I should think they will be but you can't be sure until it flowers.

Well, thats my very odd post for today... ^_^

Exams...Jobhunting...
Well, in 2 and a half weeks I have exams. Man that sucks. I think I'll have to start studying soon. Well, I would, if the teachers would stop giving us homework
*growls*
Like that will ever happen.

Also, my mum is obsessed with the idea that I need a job. in fact, shes decided not to give me my allowance any more. Good, cause I don't have to do jobs anymore. Bad, cause I'll be broke soon. I'm applying at a few supermarkets, and at a homewares store. I'd prefer to get the homewares store one, its such a nice environment. Checkout chick is not quite my thing ^_^

My party was great. Movie was great, food was excellent, friends were fun, and togas were funny. However some people came half an hour early so I wasnt quite ready. That is, I was running around in a singlet and pj pants. Funny, but not for me.

Also, a recap on my gifties. I got clothes, chocolate...I think they were trying to get me fat, a ton of bodywash and moisturisers (which I asked for, so it's all good), a couple of really great books and a ridiculous number of lollipops. I don't quite know why I got so many, but hey! Sugar is good with me. Who needs teeth anyway?

Well, I'll see you... soon I hope...

   Party!!!
Well, I havent been here for 2 weeks. Again. Sorry ^_^

However, Ive been rather busy. I have exams in 3 weeks, which is going to be horrible, and 2 assignments due in next week. Homework sucks.

On the happier side of things, it's my party tomorrow! And its a toga party. It'll be great, or at least I hope it will. Mmmmmm Troy. ^_~
Also, I have resolved my church issues finally. Im going to my friends youth group on wednesday, my youth group on friday, and my friends church on sunday. Cool cool.

On the drawing side, I've been doing original requests for people at school. Me, being the idiot I am, forgot to scan them so I can show you, but thats ok. If anyone has any original requests/suggestions of what theyd like to see me attempt, just PM me and I'll see what I can do. And no, I still don't have any fan art up yet, I'm too paranoid/shy. Ill get round to it, when I draw something I'm proud of. Well, until then sayoonara!

   Yay! It's my birthday!
Oh, and Greg Murphy won Bathurst, but that's another story.

Anyway, today is my birthday. I am now 15 years old. Wow...what an achievement. -___-

Still, it means I can go for my learner drivers licence, and that the roads of NZ will never be safe again...

Oh, and for the first time this year I have failed a test. And on my birthday too! But it was a rather hard graphics test that I had no clue on earth how to draw. *mutters* Stupid Radial development! We had to draw the "net" for a cone-based chair and I stuffed it up. Oh well. It's my birthday, so I don't care. Much. Not a very nice present from the world of exams though ^__^

I'll tell you what I do get for my birthday when I know, but currently I haven't opened my presents yet, coz my family isn't home. And theres no fun in opening prezzies by yourself, is there? Unless youre sneaking. Then it's more fun ^.^

Still, thankyou to my theOtaku friends who made being 14 fun, and will hopefully make 15 fun too.
Wow... that was terribly corny. Please forgive me, it is my birthday after all...

   What a mess...
Oh dear. I never mentioned that at my youth group, there is only really one guy worth looking at, did I?And that my youth group is totally female dominated. Not that thats a bad thing.

But the fact that about half the girls in my youth group (so far as I know) have a crush on this one guy is not a good thing. And most of them don't know that each other likes him...

Funnily enough, I'm the mediator person in this one. I'd probably go out with him if he asked me (not like that'll happen)-that is if the rest of the youth group didn't like him, but I think I'd prefer to be just a friend at the moment. It's a mess. But back to me being the mediator- Before I knew that anyone had a crush on him, I sent him an sms saying "do u have a crush on -insert bestie from youth group's name here-" because I was curious as to whether he did or not. He sent back that he liked her as a friend, which im still not 100% sure about.

Then I told my youth group bestie that I had sent him that sms. She was like "You didn't! You idiot! Wait, what did he say?" It suddenly dawned on me that she actually liked him, and I realised that that sms was a bad, bad, bad and demonically evil thing. If she didn't like him, it would've been fine, but...well, now everything is a mess. My yg bestie knew 3 other girls who have a crush on him, and she told me. Then she decided to ask if I liked him too. Honestly, I don't know if I do or not. I know I used to, but now... well, we'll have to wait and see.

It'd be much wiser for me to think of him as a friend. I suppose thats what I'm tring to do now. But now, he thinks I like him because of that stupid sms! And that I'm stalking him too, probably. See, all the girls who do have a crush on him want me to find out if he likes them!!! Since I don't officially get wild heart palpitations and turn beet red whenever I talk to him, I'm the immediate choice because I'm sort of friends with him and the others.

But now he hasn't been talking to me over msn or sms, and I won't see him till friday's youth group meeting. It is all such a great big slimy writhing mess, alike to what you'd find in my bedroom at the moment :P

Help, somebody? Anybody? It's a pathetic problem, I know, but I think it will be much worse on friday... :O

   Back to school...
Well, tomorrow, it's back to school for me. *cries* I don't wanna go back! I can just sense all the homework the teachers are going to give me when we get there...

I suppose I should think about nicer things... like what I did today! Well, I went out to the mall to shop, and to watch the cute little kids at the model search finals, which have been on all holidays. It was sweet ^^

Afterwards, my friend and I had the most lurverly iced chocolate drinks ever...they were so creamy and chocolately. Mmmmmmmm...
Then we went back to her house and played Eyetoy and Kingdom Hearts on PS2. Pathetic, ne? Still, it was fun. I want a PS2!!! Not that I'm any good. Oh well.

However, since I got home, I've been doing chores. Not fun. I had to clean the bathroom and toilet, dust my room and mop all the moppable stuff in our house. And all I'll get is $7 US. Do you reckon I should be up for a raise?

Well, I should probably go. I have to get some sleep, and theres a yummy roast chicken for tea- sorry if youre a vegitarian, but I enjoy roast chicken...-_-'
