Well, Happy belated Easter to one and all!

I had a horrible weekend actually, due to random surges of emotion and hormonal fluctuation that caused me to believe the world was out to punish me and make me sad and leave me forsaken.

I'm better now.

Looking BACK on it, I can say that I had a fun time. But in the moments, I really was miserable for a lot of the time.

I got my subscription updated for an Easter present, so that of course has got me excited.
On top of that, I will be headed home in two days to Ammie and to (hopefully) more art.

Well, right now I'm just taking a quick breather. I did a little survey (in Features) to take a break. Currently, I'm working on Ammie's Kiriban prize. Fun stuff. Celestialgaze's is next. Then Muzic-junkie's. I got a LONG day ahead of me! If a visit with Ammie doesn't interrupt!


Hope to have 'Unfallen' up soon!

10. Did you dream last night?
-Yea, and it was awful! It was definitely a nightmare too. It was about this guy who was torturing people at my boarding academy... he was a new staff member. I got him fired but only after witnessing the almost mutilation of some teenagers I've never seen in my life and after almost being butchered alive. It surprised me that I successfully got him fired, but then the dream went on and he thought he was done for... until he found this little notebook. Somehow I got a hold of it and it was filled with torturing methods. They had names and everything (I remember one being called Mushroom) and it explained how they worked, where you cut or hacked and GAH.... It was obvious that he was going to come back for revenge, but against the staff. I woke up shaking. I tried to keep myself up so I wouldn't go back to sleep.

17. Tell me something about you that I don't know about.
-I love microscopes... it is SO much fun for me to look at microscopic things!

Of Skits, Art, and Snow

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 2, 2009, 8:41 AM

Musings


Man, so life has been hectic!

I have these six skits I have to write... and they have become the ban of my existence. Lucky for me, I got five of them done but the last one, the Crucifixion one, is just bogging down on me!! I hope to get it done tonight. We'll see.

Speaking of skits, I MUST say that they have stressed me to the point of art. I have all of these things on a jump drive, and one Study Hall I realized that I didn't have my jump drive. Yeah, that's a massive push on the panic button. I tore apart the parts of my room that I thought it could be in. I dumped my school bag and fear choked. With that, and with my roommate staring at me, I put my bag over my head and started to cry. And then I started to bawl. I crept into my closet (because my sobbing was at the point of hysteria) and tried to figure out where the heck I could have lost the stupid thing. And then I got caught up in the fact that I had lost 3 skits of which I could NOT duplicate by my deadline on top of the 3 others that were left, that the two MONTHS I had been working on these things would be wasted,and that I had practically 3 more months of stress/work on my back. I finally crawled out of my closet and put on 'So You Had a Bad Day' and proceeded to bawl some more. It was horrid. But... alas... the art came out! I free-handed a wonderful horse piece that (though the neck was a tad too short) I am proud of! It turned out the jump-drive was behind my bed the whole time. I wanted to kill someone.

So yeah, I realized that I go through a cycle of expression. Writing, Acting, and Art. I never solely focus on just one but I have massive concentration on a particular art form and dabble in the rest. Before this, it was acting. Now the pendulum is swinging back into drawing and writing! I'm quite excited!! I will have much to post during spring break and perhaps I might even get my New Years goal of 15 posted in one sitting. But of course, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Getting ahead of myself is very easy to do, now that my spring break is very close. I will have so much time to do WHATEVER I want without a skit breathing down my to-do list. However, I wish I had a few days of. My good pal :iconmaplewolf: was fortunate enough to have a snow day during this blizzard. I hope a cactus eats her toes -.- It's practically unstopable out there, I'm stuck in these mountains, and SHE gets the day off. What a bum. What a bum.

Well, anyway, I feel like I'm making a mite of progress on here. I hope with a couple trades and art on the way, I'll spiff up my Dev page and get a few more people lookin' my direction and a few more friends. Ammie spoke of people getting into drama over art. I scarcely see how that's possible when no one even looks at my art. But I'll be sure to change that.

Of Accomplishments and Anger

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 11, 2009, 11:29 AM

Musings


HOLY COW, I've been on a drawing rampage! I'm so excited! I finished Ammie's Kiriban prize and I finished the trade that TOOK FOREVER TO FINISH for celestialgaze. I'm all too thrilled that it's all done.

I feel very angry recently. Just POW... grr.. GAH! It isn't the most pleasant feeling. I miss home terribly and after an awesome time with Ammie at home, that's where I want to be. The 60 degree weather up here is marvelous and satisfied me for a lick of time. It made me feel like it was spring and that was AMAZING.

I really hope to scan some stuff soon. I know I've been saying that for FOREVER but Spring Break is coming up for me in a little while and I hope to have a splurge of uploading.

One can only hope.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME :D

Well, it was a day or so ago, and it was all very exciting! I was kind of bummed that I was sick, but I had Ammie over and she makes all things better! She gave me marvelous gifts that I am oh too excited for!

I'm back at school now and I'm working on a couple of things for that and for my job at camp. I figure with an art trade that I'm starting with muzic-junkie, I'll have art over here sooner or later. So for all those who think there's nothing here... well your right BUT there will be more :D

Take care for now,

Dami
