My sis caught my kiriban this time! I'll be putting on the new profile picture in a day or two.

Classes:

Not much different, still a lot of studying. And the fact that every day is going by too fast!

Art:

My brother got my sis and I this book called Visions by Luis Royo. His work is very beautiful, though dark. He mainly draws women, but includes dragons, men, and futuristic scenes. It's very inspiring. I am still working on requests, albeit a little slowly, sorry!


Games:

Hmm, nothing new in this section. Though I'm planning on getting a PS3 this December, hopefully...maybe.

Life:

Getting older, and busier, that's for certain. And I was a little sick, but that happens in winter. My Psyc teacher told my class that his evening class was missing 8 students, who were out sick with H1N1. I really am not too worried about it. If I get it, I get it. Just have to remember to wash my hands a lot.
Getting anxious for Anime Detour next year, though that's still around 6 months away!!!
Besides that, I need to stop being so relaxed. I don't want to look back on my life and regret wasting youthful years not accomplishing something. I promise next journal entry will include something more impressive. Maybe I'll have my website up by then. Or I'll have worked enough to pay for spring classes.^^


What to get done for DA: <--- I haven't changed this list in a looong time...many of you have noticed, I'm sure.

1.)Picture of herself in my style for ~Aerlynn-san. (0% complete)

2.) Draw myself in three different american styles (0% complete procrastination)

3.) =Odin-Lionheart-sama's Black Wind characters (38% complete)

4.) Writer's meme and many other tags (I can't remember most of them, so this should go to my #5)

5.) Other stuff I can't remember at the moment

Thanks a bunch!!

Just thinking that the past few days smelled like winter...

Classes:

Took my first exams for my classes, and got B's. Ummm, besides that I've had A LOT of reading homework.^^ For my Criminal Justice class I'm volunteering in West St. Paul at the Dakota County Corrections, filing papers on offenders and such. It's not much, though I'm hoping to help with an investigation or sit in at a court case before I'm done. I'd like some experience, because I've been thinking about becoming a freelance Forensic Artist, maybe. Challenging, but I'm going to try it out.^^

Art:

Last weekend I went to MCAD for the SGMS convention. On Friday sis and I registered and then saw the fashion show. It was sweet! It was based on punk, neovictorian, gothic/lolita style, and very inspirational!^^ On saturday there was a workshop and bazaar. They were selling cool corsets, but too expensive for me!
And there were some lectures, one of which was by C.B. Cebulski, writer and skill scouter at Marvel. On Sunday sis and I went to the portfolio reviews and got some great comments and critiques! And then went to Crispin Freeman's lecture and Tomoko Tanaguchi's lecture. It was very interesting, and afterward we got to talk with them.^^
I have been drawing, and will be submitting very soon!! Thank you for your patience!

Games:

Hmm, besides RagnorakOnline and Call of Duty: World At War, sis and I got a new table-top game called Settlers of Catan. Wow that's a fun game, and quite addicting.^^

Life:

Been very busy, that's for sure! Sis and I got a car finally, from the couple we baby-sit for. They gave it to us for a wonderful price, and though they were worried it wasn't fair for us, I was wondering the same thing for them! It's a 1994 Toyota Camry, and despite its age it runs really good! I did turn 20 on August 1st...wow time flies!

Classes:

Nothing new here, classes will start in about two weeks. I'm actually looking forward to them!

Art:

Been doodling a bit, should really be working on my requests. I started another story, a plot that's been bugging me until I finally put it down on paper. Don't think I'll be putting it up on DA, but I will continue to put my other story, Eighteen up. Kind of forgot about it! Sis and I registered for this Schoolgirl and Mobilesuits workshop/event in September at MCAD. A Japanese artist will be there, along with Tokyopop reviewing portfolios. It should be a great opportunity to get some personal critiques and hopefully some comments.^^

Games:

Nothing new here, except that I've been playing a lot of Fallout 3 and Call of Duty at the cabin with my nephews and sis. Though I did hear a new Shadow of the Colossus game for the PS3 is coming out. Won't be playing that until I get my own PS3, though.

Life:

I've been in Wisconsin the past three weeks and only now have gotten back. My sister-in-law, her kids, and my sis and I went to Milacs Lake and Lake Itaska. Sadly it was kind of chilly and wet, but it didn't really stop us from biking and swimming. Lining up for more baby-sitting this fall while my sis and I start designing a site to sell our art. And of course, still studying Japanese.^^
Last week my sis and I got a new kitten! A neighbor in Wisconsin found a 4 month stray and couldn't keep it since she was moving, and the shelter couldn't take her, so we did. Mom and Dad let us keep her, so we named her Lace, because our other cat's name is Boots. At the moment Boots is having a holy fit; doesn't like the idea of sharing his space in the basement and us with her.^.^ We thought she was a minx or a Japanese bobtail, but found out she lost her tail early on. I'll have to put a picture of her up sometime.

Thanks a bunch!!

Classes:

My summer nutrition class is over and I did fine and dandy. I'll be glad once my final year is over, but then again, it'll be back to working full-time.
My fall classes: Environmental Chemistry, Psychology of Adulthood and Aging, Criminal Justice, and Fencing.

Art:

Not much, though I have almost completed a picture and plan to have it up this week.^^ My goals are to continue practicing with paint.net and the new oil paints I got. Still working on requests, but the drawing and art-making are slow right now. I plan to change that right...right now!

Games:

My sis got Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories for the PS2, but other than that we haven't gotten any new games. My nephew did get Infamous for the PS3 and I watched him and my sis play it. It looks cool, definitely a go-and-buy. My brother did buy Twilight 2013, a role-playing game like D&D. This past weekend I worked on creating a character and afterward I felt really obsessed.^^ With all the choices and decisions you can make, building a character on Fallout 3 seems incomplete. I can't wait until my brother, who will be the game master, creates a one-shot for us.
The only other game I played was COD: World at War. With one of my nephews out of town, I actually didn't do too bad. My sis and I are tied to see whose better, it goes back and forth.

Life:

Working, of course, but who wants to read about that?
The last week of June me, my sis, and my sister-in-law and her kids went camping at Hickory Lake. The first week of July my sis and I went to a 3-day convention of Jehovah's Witnesses, which was really great! Last week I went up to the cabin in Wisconsin to work for my brother. And now I'm back home in St. Louis Park to work for two days before I go camping again. Phew, I need to take a breather.^^
Buuuut, I did see Transformers 2(old news now, right?), the midnight showing June 24th, and saw it again Friday night with my nephew and sis. It was absolutely wonderful, though I can't decide if it was better than the first one. They both were awesome. By the way, I haven't read/watched the show, so I'm not sure how close the movies are to the actual plot. In any case, with Optimus being my favorite, the movie was intense! Can't be spoiling anything though, so that's all I'm saying/hinting at. (I'm a silly fan girl of his, by the way)

Thanks a bunch!!

Summber break, finally! And the past three days has certainly felt like summer; today was in the 90's with a really warm wind, yuck! So I just stayed inside in my nice cold basement. Okay, done now, here's the update.

Classes:

Classes have finally ended, and I'm very happy! Got a 4.0 for the semester...I feel smart for the first time in my life! And they weren't all art classes. Well, I don't know about Creative and Fiction Writing, but Interpersonal Communications and Intro to Sociology were slightly hard. It may be because I'm helping pay for my classes; I did horrible in High School.^^:

Anywho, I have a Principles of Nutrition class starting up in June until July and am really looking forward to it. My mom and sis are dreading it; I'm going to become the health Nazi whenever we eat.

Art:

I have actually been drawing a lot more, though that could be because I don't have classes. I've been taking a reprieve from my story recently because of all the writing I had to do in my two writing classes, but now that they're over, I'm going to come back with a fury. Probably what's going to happen is I'm going to want to change HUGE parts of my story/plot, despite the fact that I have at least another ten pages before the end of book 1.

Games:

Nothing much here. I've been playing Genji again, it's great fun. Been playing Smash Bros. Melee, but alas I'll have to return it to my friend soon!!! And still playing RO.

Life:

Been working and saving up! I think by the end of the summer I'll have enough to pay off fall classes. Then I'll need to save up for spring classes, a car, a laptop, and anime detour.^^ Throughout the summer my sis and I, along with my nephews will be camping a lot, so perhaps I'll put some photos up, along with Detour photos.^^ (When I'm not feeling lazy.)

Ah yes, here is a tag I planned on doing!^^ This is probably one of the many tags I still need to do.

Rules
1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs! (DX)

1. I'm a twin...dur!

2. I'm a Jehovah's Witness...no connection with Jenova's Witnesses.^^

3. Red, violet, and black are my three favorite colors.

4. I live in my brother's basement.

5. I wanna be a video game designer, an english teacher in Japan, a translator, an illustrator, a dog trainer, a writer...hmm, can't think of any more at the moment.

6. I'm ambidextrous; I write/draw with my left hand, basically everything else with my right. That's probably why I don't like playing sports like baseball or kickball. I can't decide which side of my body to use.

7. I'm adopted!^.^

8. Oh yeah, could have put this one with #1, but I'm also an identical mirror twin. So my sis and I mirror eachother, in that I'm a lefty and she's a righty, and other physical features as well.

Hmm, I'm not going to message anyone, but if , , , , , , , and
want to do this tag, go ahead!
