   I got a new laptop!
Yaaay! Im talking to you from my shiney new laptop ^_^ its a toshiba tecra s1, Intel centrino 1.4Ghz, 512MB ram, 32MB ATI graphics & 40GB hard drive. Which isnt bad seeing as it cost my £425. Actually its not brand new, I bought it off of ebay. Which was of course a bit of a risk but it seems to have paid off ok ^_^

I was a little concerned at first bacause it seemed to be making rather a lot of noise and crashing quite frequently. Luckly I managed to catch the error message before it rebooted and checked it on google. Google told me it was likly to be a problem with the RAM. So, as it had been posted I decided to open it up and check the RAM modules hadnt slipped out at all. They seemed pretty secure but i took them both out, blew out a bit of dust and put them back in. And Voila! My laptop runs sweet as a nut ^_^

So now im just making it how I like it, next thing to do will be to check how well some of my games run. Oh, but of course ill only be useing it for serious, uni work releated things, ofcourse ^_~

Apart from that, im still working on that picture! its about 3/4 coloured now so almost ready to scan and post.

Well thats about all for now ^_^

   ohhh, shiney car
My boyfriend and I have finally bought a car, its a rover metro ^_^ its a lovelly little car, apart from the fact it jumps out of gear when you try to go in reverse, which is slightly worrying. But apart from that its great! The insurence is a killer though, we could have bought the car twice over with what a years insurence is costing us, ah well. Unfortunatly I cant drive yet but my bf can ^_^

I was going to finish off my HTML work today as our next lecture is at 2:00 but I just cant get my image map to work, its the last bit too, how annoying. Oh well Ill just have to show my lecturer during the practrical and see if he can tell me why its not working because im stumped.

Also, as you may have noticed I havnt been colouring my pictures for a while. A large part of the reason behind this is the fact that untill today all my colouring pencils have been in the drawer or our bed, which is pressed up against the wall and beause the rest of the drawers are filled up with junk (mostly mine) the bed is very heavy. But today i managed to move it and rescue my coloring pencils ^_^ So now I just want to draw. But must study maths, no must draw, maths, draw, aaarrggghhh! Id better have lunch.

Take care, speak soon ^_^

A quiz I found on Morbo86's site, is it true? lol, no comment ^_~

You are a PHOENIX in your soul and your
wings make a statement. Huge and born of flame,
they burn with light and power and rebirth.
Ashes fall from your wingtips. You are an
amazingly strong person. You survive, even
flourish in adversity and hardship. A firm
believer in the phrase, 'Whatever doesn't kill
you only makes you stronger,' you rarely fear
failure. You know that any mistake you make
will teach you more about yourself and allow
you to 'rise from the ashes' as a still greater
being. Because of this, you rarely make the
same mistake twice, and are not among the most
forgiving people. You're extremely powerful and
wise, and are capable of fierce pride, passion,
and anger. Perhaps you're this way because you
were forced to survive a rough childhood. Or
maybe you just have a strong grasp on reality
and know that life is tough and the world is
cruel, and it takes strength and independence
to survive it. And independence is your
strongest point - you may care for others, and
even depend on them...but when it comes right
down to it, the only one you need is yourself.
Thus you trust your own intuition, and rely on
a mind almost as brilliant as the fire of your
wings to guide you.You are eternal and because
you have a strong sense of who and what you
are, no one can control your heart or mind, or
even really influence your thinking. A symbol
of rebirth and renewal, you tend to be a very
spiritual person with a serious mind - never
acting immature and harboring a superior
disgust of those who do. Likewise, humanity's
stupidity and tendency to want others to solve
their problems for them frustrates you
endlessly. Though you can be stubborn,
outspoken, and haughty, I admire you greatly.

Sorry I was away!
Wow, its been a long time since I last posted, all the way back in July! Basically what happened is working over the summer knackerd me out, so I just wasnt going online. Except to play Guild Wars,that is such an amazing game! If anyone else here plays it get in touch and we can play together ^_^

also another unfortunate aspect of being exhausted is I cant draw when im tired, apart from one random sketch I started when I was drunk but didnt finish... So I havnt done much of that this summer either.

But, iv finished work now and started at university on monday ^_^ its been good so far and hopefully ill be able to get back into my routine of drawing and posting and stuff.

   Im Back!
Iv finally been able to connect the Internet to my PC. I set up a little home network so now all 3 computers have the Internet. I was so pleased, I connected everythign up and it just worked, hardly any configuration required!

Any who, Wales was fun, we went up snowden and to alton towers. It was all good. At the top of snowden they have "the highest post box in England and Wales" But when my little sister got on the train to come back down she asked: "how can it be the highest post box if its only 3 ft off the ground?" its wouldv been really witty, if she wasnt being serious!

Anyway, im going to scan a new picture now so please go see it if you have time ^_^

Hi guys, as I said I was planning to scan that pic before I packed up my scanner. But things didnt quite go as planned. My mum got a new job (yay for her) so we went out to celebrate which was fun, we saw the fantastic four. This however ment we didnt get back till 11pm and I still had half a room to pack up. Err so I didnt get chance to scan it, I only had 4 hours sleep that night actually but I got it done and the move went off well.

Unfortunatly I still have to set up the Internet for the house im living in now. But that shouldnt take me too long.

Take care everyone ^_^

   Back on helpdesk again
I got my first payment for this work today, woohoo! but im not going to spend any of it yet, really, Id best not go on ebuyer then...

Anyway, im on helpdesk duty again, all day. Yesterday I was just doing lunch cover.

Its not too bad I did this last year so im getting back into the swing of it and things are pretty quiet at the moment, touch wood. I mainly pass the time reading mega tokyo lol.

Anyway iv finished that picture and hopefully will scan it in tonight and post it before I pack up my scanner. Iv started a new picture aswell, hopefully ill be able to make this one a bit darker then my normal fare.

Iv had a real change of style, up untill recently most of my pictures have been inked in and coloured but right not iv gone back to a more pencil sketchy stlye. This is mainly because it allows my to do very fine delacate lines that I would completly wreak if I tried to ink in with my splodgy pen.

That and im feeling lazy lol, but really I do like this style for now.

Hm, well thats about it. Take care everyone!
