Geez, it has.

Sorry for disappearing off the face of the Earth. I really don't have any good excuses. ^^;

But I'm going to actually try and be on here a bit more. 

For those who I watch, I'm sorry if you just get a bunch of favorites and not many comments. There are a ton and a half of messages to go through, and unfortunately, I might have to delete some just because there are so many.

Short journal, because I don't have much to write... Sorry.

Have a great day!

Yep, I am still alive people. I could come up with a billion excuses (legitimate excuses actually), but once the point of that?

Right now I'm doing something rather interesting, I'm intervaling between doing a 'winter clean up' in my bedroom, folding clothes, exercising, going on dA and playing with various art stuffs. Yep. :nod: Why now at 6:50 in the evening? Because I want to do all these things and I finally found a time to do it. :lol: So this should be interesting, let's see if I even get to do all these things.

Just so you know, I'm going to be uploading a bunch of not-so-fabulous art and sometime in the near future- before February 12th- I'll be uploading a story that isn't sci-fi or fantasy. :gasp: That's right. Why? It's for a contest, and the idea that came to my mind doesn't have anything to do with those themes I usually write from. So this should be interesting.

 

Anyways, I've been tagged. Twice actually. By two different people, and I am just now getting to them. So on we go! Allons-y! :icondavidtennantplz:

Ten Things About Me
1. I have introduced myself to some of my friend's friends by first saying "Hi, I'm a bit crazy." :icontruestoryplz:
 
2. When I work outside alone I will actually make up stories- to go along with the music I listen to- and act them out with invisible characters. It's a ton of fun, and sometimes I don't mind being the cliche character. :giggle: But if someone comes outside or looks out the window, I will stop instantly because I get embarrassed that I'm doing such a child-ish thing. 
 
3. I love to dance. It's something I do a lot of the time, whether I'm washing the dishes, cleaning the house or doing schoolwork. My friends have grown use to me dancing to the music in my head when I'm just talking to them. :lol:
 
4. I would love to go to Africa one day.
 
5. If someone asks if they can look at my artpad, I usually try to discourage them from looking into it because I fear that they'll look at the drawings and fake their compliments (if they even want give any). x.x If I get compliments, I want them to be true, not just to try to bolsters someone's feelings.
 
6. I almost wrote something deep, but then I deleted it. XD Who needs deep comments? :shakefist:
 
7. I love theatrical trailer music. :heart: Jo Blakenburg, Audiomachine, Future Word Music and a few others.
 
8. I'm a bit too clingy about things. About both material things and people. ^^; I have to work on that.
 
9. A friend of mine gave me an awesome hat and it's so warm. It's great for the frigid weather we've been having here.
 
10. This year I'm finally going to be working on a memory garden for my dog that passed away a few years ago. :happycry: I'm very much looking forward to doing it, it's been a dream for a few years now.
 
Ten questions from :iconredfeathyrs:
 
1. If given the chance, would you marry someone who looked and/or acted exactly like any of your OCs?
 
Hmmmmm... Yes and no. It all depends on what OC. I know which OC, but I'm not saying. :lol:
 
2. What is your favorite breakfast?
 
That is a hard question. Seriously. It all depends on my mood. Sometimes I have the odd craving for eggs and cheese, while other times I want to indugle in ridiculous sugary foods (like cupcakes or m&ms... I have eaten M&Ms for breakfast before). I guess right now what I would want would be pancakes with raspberry syrup (I've never had it, but it sounds good) and whip cream. And a huge cup of cinnamon hot chocolate. -w- Apparently I'm in a sugary mood.
 
3. Is there any kind of art that you don't like or understand?
 
Um, none that I can think of on the spot. Ah, well, art pieces that look like they could have been painted, drawn or sculpted by a two year old and that sell for millions of dollars bug me. :grump: Seriously?! How is that millions of dollars worth art?! ... Then again, if I could get millions of dollars off art like that, I wouldn't be complaining.
Me: *sneezes on a canvas* o.o! Ew.
Rich Man: Fantastic! oUo I will pay you a billion-quadrillion dollars for it! What do you call this masterpiece?! (remember, this guy has fancy suit, monocle and top hat, and a fancy mustache)
Me o.o The Sneeze of Overly Complicated Mumbo-Jumbo and Deep Philisopical Thinking. -O-
Rich Man: Amazing! oUo
 
If only... 
 
4. Pumpkin spice or melted marshmallow?
 
Pumpkin spice, totally.
 
5. In a post-apocalyptic world, you're trapped in New York City. Where do you take shelter?
 
One, ew, I would stay FAR from New York City. But since I'm there... Probably in an out of the way place, like an abandonded slums apartment, or if I was with people who were good at defending a spot, a small grocery store then.
 
6. Choose a theme song for yourself or a close friend/relative.
 
Garador's Flight by Jo Blankenburg
 
That's just music. I really don't have a theme song for me, and for others without getting deep. ^^;
 
7. What is the first book/movie/TV show you remember being a fan of?
 
The book series Animorphs, that's the first thing I think I ever really obsessed over (besides Mario video games). Redfeathyrs and I made up fan characters and we played 'Animorphs' all the time. It was one of the best things ever really. Redfeathyrs used to draw some comics with the Animorphs and our characters.
If you haven't read Animorphs before, you've missed out! :nuu: Even though it's a younger kid book- 5-6th grade- I still occasionally read them.
Let's see if Redfeathyrs remembers this inside joke from when we used to play Animorphs.... FAIRY DUST! (:rofl:)
 
8. Would you rather be moving too fast or too slow?
 
Ugh, neither, and both. It all depended on the what was going on. Right now, I'd want to be too slow because life is going by too quickly.
 
9. You now live in the world of the last book you read. What is it?
 
Now, I've only read like the first chapter in a book I'm currently reading, so I'm going to go to the book I was reading before this current one... Um, it's called "Nobody's Secret", it's a historical fiction book (which I usually despise) about Emily Dickinson. It was actually pretty good. :D I kinda just grabbed that book off the library shelf.
 
10. What's your Hobbit or Elvish name?
 
Finduilas Surion (Elvish Name)
 
Sweetpea BraceGirdle of Hardbottle (Hobbit Name)
 
 
MY TEN QUESTIONS:
 
1. What is your favorite flower?
2. What is the darkest story you have for one of your OCs?
3. Have you ever made an OC just to suit a song you adore?
4. Quick! Pears or Apples?
5. What is your favorite song that is not mainstream?
6. Favorite cartoon/anime character?
7. What piece of art (drawing, painting, sculpture, story, etc) are you most proud of right now?
8. Would you rather have a dog or a cat?
9. If you could describe the moon in a very dramatic and gorgeous way, how would you write the sentence? (Or paragraph?)
10. What kind of color describes you?
 
Tagged by :iconsir-saboteur:
 
1. You must post these rules.
2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create 10 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
3. You have to choose 10 people to tag and post their icons in your journal.
4. Go to their pages and tell them you have tagged him/her.
5. No tag backs.
6. No 'nonsense' in the tagging section about "You are tagged if you're reading this." You legitimately have to tag 10 people!
7. Tell the person who tagged you if you did it.

1. If you were not born in your country, what country would you wish you were from?

Ooooh, hard one... Um, Africa, because of the culture and the beauty of the Africa savannahs.

2. If you could go to any time period, when and where would it be?

Here and now is good with me. I guess it would be kind of interesting to see what the future is like, but I'm comfortable where I am really. Oh! But then again, I'd love to go back a few years to when Redfeathyrs and I would make up the most awesome/ridiculous stories and see us play them out. Just to see what we were like back then. :) I don't rememeber everything back then.

3. If we were to meet randomly on the street, what would you do?

Probably say hi, shake your hand, and discuss geeky things. And throw in the occasional Mando'a. X3

4. Fight or Flight?

It depends on the situation, and what I'd be good at. But probably flight.

5. Can you ever tell a book by its cover? (is there an exception to the rule)

No, one cannot usually. Nor can I, I mean I read this book called 'Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo", I didn't realize from the serious looking cover that it'd be a hysterical and random book. :lol:

6. Who is your favorite person (real) from history?

I don't have anyone from histoy I particularly like...

7. What is the strangest thing you've ever eaten?

Caviar, and that was before I became a vegetarian... Ugh, so gross.

8. What is your favorite movie quote?

"Ain't nobody got time for that." ... Oh wait. :lol:

Really, I have two favorite quotes, one is from a TV show, and it's quite long.

This is from Doctor Who (SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED SEASON 7):

"Okay, then. That’s what I’ll do. I’ll tell you a story. Can you hear them? All these people who've lived in terror of you and your judgement. All these people whose ancestors devoted themselves, sacrificed themselves, to you. Can you hear them singing? Oh, you like to think you're a god, but you're not a god. You're just a parasite eaten out with jealous and envy and longing for the lives of others. You feed on them. On the memory of love and loss and birth and death and joy and sorrow. So...so come on, then. Take mine. Take my memories. But I hope you've got a big appetite, because I've lived a long life, and I've seen a few things. I walked away from the Last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe, and I watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time, no space – just me. I've walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a madman. I've watched universes freeze and creations burn. I have seen things you wouldn't believe. I have lost things you will never understand. And I know things. Secrets that must never be told, knowledge that must never be spoken, knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze! So, come on, then! Take it! Take it all, baby! Have it! You have it all!"

That little speech there, with Mr. Matt Smith's dramaticness made me tear up... To be fair, I was moody. ^^;

And the other one is a word from a fictional language:

"K'atini." When translated means "Suck it up, it's only pain." You'd be surprised how much that one word helps when you've stubbed your toe because you're running late, and you don't have time to sit there and rub your foot. XD

9. What is your biggest addiction? (not drug related i.e. candy, video games, etc)

Books. :iconreadingabook:

10. What is one thing that annoys you the most?

People who think they're the best thing ever. :grump:

 

My ten questions... Um, if you don't mind, I'm going to say those ten questions I asked up top are the ten I'm using here. ^^;

 

Okay, I tag:

:iconjessica-rae-3: :icongirlwhowrites: :iconheartstores: :iconrayn44:

 

I don't know enough people, and I'm not even sure if this tag will be done. ^^; But, um, have fun if you guys do it!

Art Block

3 min read
Art block, and lack of artistic skill has really been preventing me from doing much on dA... Sorry guys. I do have a few projects I've been working on, so I hope to finish them up soon. I just don't have the appropriate colors to color them with. :nuu: And Corel Painter doesn't really work for the coloring of my projects, so I either have to save up to buy a better digital art system or buy more traditional art markers (I'm in love with Prismacolors right now, but my wallet really hates me).
Also, I seem to have no time to write stories. ._. Or inspiration for them either. If you guys wanna throw out ideas for stories, I'd actually be willing to try to write them. So, throw out ideas people! I'm even willing to try to write some of your characters in stories. I need to get the creative ideas flowing.
***I do have exceptions to what I am willing to write though. No nudity, magic or anything associated with such things or hardcore violence. If your suggestion makes me uncomfortable, I won't write that story. Or if I like the idea enough, but small elements make me uncomfortable, I'll inform you that I'll be changing parts of it. Also, I do not do good fan fiction for MLP:FiM stuff, sorry.***
DISCLAIMER: Just because you offer the idea does not mean I will write it. Just so you know. ^^b

I must apologize to deviant artist o0VinylScratch0o, my brain has been so blocked on that story I promised to write for the contest prize you won. I have not forgotten you, I just am really having a tough time with it. I'm sorry. :crying

Also, I must apologize to rayn44, I drew the picture and had in mind the story idea, but time just didn't permit me to write the story. So I hope to be able to do something better in the future.

Also, AT&T users out there, I don't know about you guys, but where I am, apparently AT&T is having issues with the cell service. I cannot call or text anyone (unless it's over Internet). So I'm a little peeved, considering Redfeathyrs and I text each other often. :iconfliptableplz:
Hopefully AT&T fixes this soon. It's been going on for a while.... It's fixed! :iconpartycannonplz:

Last thing: I'm working on getting to reply and comment on the messages, drawings, stories and journals people have posted. Don't worry. :meow: It just might be a little while because I'm a little swamped with things.

Hope y'all have a fantastic day!
...

I still need to figure out a good sign off.

Sorry I haven't posted or commented lately (geez, this seems to be the only type of journals I post as of late). Very busy with school and family needs (also procrastinating). My art and writing inspiration decided to apparently leave me and take a trip to Never Never Land. They then went to Coruscant, then had a trip in the TARDIS through time and space, and then went over to England, and now they're chilling in Africa.
That's right, I know where they are. They send me postcards. :grump:

Anyways, I just wanted to say, please don't think I've forgotten about you guys, think that I find you unimportant, or think that I don't like your stuff and refuse to comment and fave. I'm just busy with a lot of stuff and can some times jump on here for ten minutes... On special occasions.

That's all. :meow: I'm just being busy.

Now, off to watch some shows and TRY to draw something semi-decent.

May the Force be with you.

Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey.

But everything changed... When the Fire Nation attacked.

I need a signing off catch-phrase, these are probably all copyrighted. Any ideas?

Hello humans/aliens/monsters that live under the bed. How are all of you?

I needed to update my journal, so I've decided to do this. :meow: Let's see what has happened so far...

1. I'm working on some drawings/stories. Busy with many things (schoolwork and tons of baby-sitting)... Plus, a lack of creative ideas. :/ Or, I just don't feel it's worthy to post. Yeah...

2. I cut a little bit into my middle finger on my left hand, with a knife (not scissors! that'd be odd), while cutting up some food for a breakfast meal. I was in utter shock because I had no idea what had just happened. :lol: I'm not dead, so it obviously wasn't life threatening. But it's the first time I've ever actually done some damage to my hand while using a knife. I've nicked myself a couple times, but that's all.

3. My siblings and I had an amazingly epic battle in our house, using two large and one mini lightsaber. As well as using 'the Force', I ended scaring my youngest sibling whenever I yelled out "Force tickle!" That was the only way I could get them to run and hide from me. :XD: Force choking and Force pushing don't work so well with them (considering none of them have seen the Star Wars movies... And some are just faaaaar too young to watch it.)

4. I got a plant (a Ponytail Palm to be precise)... I named him Mr. Plant. I was very creative that day. ._.

5. WARNING: I will be posting G/T stories (interaction between a Giant and a Tiny). So those of you who are not interested in such a genre, here's a warning. ^^b

6. I'm learning Swahili.

Alright, I'm done bothering you all. Hope you all have a fantastic day! :icondoctordanceplz:

Allons-y, and remember, bow ties are cool... As are fezes.
