in one day! holy flappin crap. So, I answered this on =Colliemom 's journal and thought it would be fun to try

a) tell me why you befriended me
b) associate me with something - a song, a color, a photo, a mental image, etc.
c) tell me something you like about me
d) tell me a memory you have of me
e) ask something you've always wanted to know about me
f) give me one piece of advice that might be useful to me
g) in return, you must post this in your Journal

Hey all,

As the title states, I'm keeping up with the monthly update. Still no arts to post. I think I might to either a water color for Arrowfox's request, or a simlpe digital work.. if only I had an easier time with doing digital work at all. So hopefully I'll be getting up on that soon.

I'm plugging away at those 2 classes doing pretty well. I still have some time for working out and drawing... I just haven't been drawing. I get to tired after work, school, and going for my walk. oi. no excuse really. I'll have to assign myself 'homework' so I can get better.

More news. I got a new piercing. I have a sternum piercing which I absolutely love. It hurt getting it done, but I love it now. My sister had it done, and I didn't like it at first, but a week ago I started really liking it. So, on a whim, I went ahead and got it pierced. Look great, lovin it, when it heals, I may or may not post a pic

So that's about it for me right about now, just letting you know I'm still kickin.

I'm also updating a blog now, maybe more often than this, and with more life stuff, while I try to keep this moreso geared towards art stuff. so if you don't hear from me for a while, no worries

ttyl!!

Edit: so... it seems that there is some software missing or something. The scan button on our scanner is not working, so something is missing. So when everything was brought back downstairs, we're not sure what went where. This means that until we get a moment to figure the blasted thing, no artses to be posted. In the meantime I'll work on some more stuff

Soo...

a month later, I finally update. Here's what's new with me. (which, to be honest, is not a hell of a lot).

1) I am finally going to have something aside from more school by august. This term I will be finishing off my English degree. I have only 2 courses and that's it. If I'm lucky, I just might have high enough marks to go for the honors and if I'm really lucky, I'll have a double honors major by the end of it all. yay. no really. This makes me happy. I'll definatly be finished something by august regardless and I just might be able to get a better job with it

2) All the renovations are finally done. Big YAY! we have our apartment back! and the colors are all up, 2 of my paintings are framed and hung in the kitchen and living room, and everything is generally wonderful. My papasan chair (those big round wicker ones) is out again, so that;s my new lovely cuddle spot. I'd like it better if it was in the corner, but there's not enough room. a bit of a bummer but it'll do.

3) I've actually produced some drawings. double big yay! I've been looking up a few pictures of foxes for Arrowfox's image, found 2 that I liked, tried one she suggested and made up one on my own. I really wanted to find a profile image of a fox landing front paws down. But no such luck. I worked with it though, and I'm actually pretty happy with it. I've only been doing some doodles here and there, but even though I haven't done anything serious in a long time, after a few warm up excercises, I found I still improved little from the last time I had tried it. Kinda like riding a bike. Leave it too long and you'll be rusty, but after a little while, it'll come back to you.

There's really not much else going on. Trying to find a wedding dress as well as lose some weight so that I can look as good as I want to. I'm trying to walk every morning and I've also set up my 'Total Gym 1500' so I can start actually working out too. with any luck I'll lose about 30 pounds. I'm also trying to find some bridesmaids dresses that will suit the style I have in my mind, but will also be comfortable for the girls. But the ones that seem to fit for both all seem to be tea length (mid calf), but I really want a full length. herm. I'll figure it all out eventually. Oh! I'm excited about Prince Caspian coming out. I really liked the first movie. I'm still holding out for a 4th POTC movie, since there will be a Wolverine movie I'm thinking that Disney might try to milk a little more out of POTC since the xmen series has gone just as well as the POTC one.

well it's about 11 pm here now, I'm going to venture. just thought I should let people know that I'm not... y'know fallen off the face of the planet or anything. I'll post those images hopefully tonight or tomorrow.

ttyl all!!

.. is something I don't think I've ever valued so much before.
It's been awhile since I've been online for more than just long enough to check updates. I'm just getting to the end of exams, so I've spent the last ..... 2 weeks studying. and 1 of those was writing up papers. Argh! I haven't picked up a pencil, a paintbrush, anything at all since. I'm taking another 1 or 2 classes as well this term coming. I was hoping to take some classes at the local art center, but money and time might be an issue.

The house is currently getting renos, so I'm living in my parents living room. It's not too bad, we've a new mattress now, and Jessie loves the new bed spends 22 out of 24 hours sleeping now. lol

Other news is some good, some bad. About 3 weeks ago, maybe a little less, Jessie had another seizure. This would be her 3rd. She had one when she was 2 (I think), she had one either just before, or just after chrismas past, and then this one. We're still not sure if it's genetic, or if she has a trigger. We're trying to limit everything, and we think it could be chocolate, or possibly catfood. You'd think we'd write off chocolate right away, but the rest of our pets have occaisionally gotten into chocolate without any ill side effects. Her seizures are never long, but they are a little frightening. She doesn't have grand mal ones, according to what I've read. This whole seizure thing is the bad news of course, we have to keep a close eye on her, in case it is genetic and she needs pills to control it if it gets worse or happens more often. Anyone have any ideas on what else could trigger a seizure?

For good news, it's only a little bit. Mom took my painting from the Bob Ross class, [link] I had posted it to my norikota account before I had decided I needed a name change. The frame is beautiful, and I'll post an image of it in scraps once we get it back, if anyone is interested.

Also, ~ArrowFox did catch the kiriban, and I haven't forgotten about you hun!! I just haven't had the time to sit and sketch something out. I've some images I like tho, so the process is getting there... it's just slow doing so. BUT! it WILL be done.


so that's really all I have to say. Just takin a breather for a few minutes, enjoying the sub from *1pen and that's about it. Speaking of which anyone want to create a CSS for me? or better yet, give me a 'CSS for dummies'? lol!

TTYL all, and hopefully I'll be able to start posting stuff again soon!

Hey all!!

Congrats to ~ArrowFox for catching the 'kiribanish' number of 1510!!
You can see it here [link]

Let me know what you want hun, and I'll get to it. Thanks to everyone who was keeping an eye out. I'll have another one at about 2500 I guess.
Don't have much time to update anything going on with me right now, I'll update again tomorrow!
