The 100 Theme Challenge!

10/10/09--15:40: Missing In Action!!! (chan 2063696)




Hey everyone, sorry I've been so inactive on here lately.  A few "things" have popped up in my life and with school and all I've been real busy.  So anyways, I apologize.  I'll try and get to all of your new art ASAP to comment and fave, I promise (;
I'll also try and get more art up.  It's just hard for me to keep up with everything here on DA with all my classes- Gosh it feels like I'm in college or something :o)
Anyways, hope you all can forgive me.

10/12/09--18:15: Love Birds (chan 2063696)




Okay, everyone.  I might go MIA again because:
  1. I'm madly in love, causing my thoughts to revolve constantly around him.  And when I try to draw, everything comes out all "Lovey dovey" and "hearty-rainbowy-sparkley"

  2. I'm a little, tiny bit "broken".  If you know what I mean... Because of some things that have happened in my life.

You all can still message me, if it's urgent on Facebook.  I love you all very much!
XOXOX

10/21/09--15:56: For Him (chan 2063696)

I was going to burn this- but I wanted to know what you guys thought first. Not sure if I'll ever finish it. It was "going" to be a gift for my -now ex- boyfriend. Last night I was so overjoyed...









10/21/09--16:15: Band aids won't help. (chan 2063696)




Hey, in my last journal I said I was "kind of broken".  Well now I'm shattered into a million pieces.  I'm such a hopeless romantic.  Every time I enter a relationship I think "He is the guy.  He's the on I'm going to marry." But then I get so excited and happy for nothing, because it turns out the guy is nothing more than a user, player etc.  Just this morning I discovered that my "devoted" boyfriend was messing around with other girls while he told me he loved me.  HELLO- I caught him saying "I love you" to another girl.  But just the other night he had told me how much I

10/31/09--12:35: It's Spook time, BABY!! :'D (chan 2063696)




Just a quick Halloween quiz "thingy".  Wishing everyone a fun filled, spooktacular and safe night (:

Ghosts or Goblins?: Ghosts.. Goblins are kind of yucky (;

Zombies or Vampires?: I find Zombies kind of boring.  Like.. they all seem the same =/ So- not trying to be a stereotypical twilight reading teenager- I would have to say vampires.

Witches or Hags?: Hahaha! I'll be different and go with Hags.

Werewolves or Frankenstein?: WEREWOLVES! I was disappointed when I was forced to read Frankenstein for school.

Black Cats or Bats?: I used to have a black cat and she was mean.  So bats FTW!

Owie.  It's been really hard for me to draw and work with Photoshop lately because of these head aches.  But don't worry, I'll be able to do alot more art once I get some meds.  Yesterday I thought it was getting head aches because I hadn't been able to get some good coffee.  But then I lost the vision in my right eye -which was scary!- and my speech got all screwed up.  I could think of what I wanted to say, but the words came out all wrong.  So it turns out I'm having "migraine" headaches...

So! Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon.  Still trying to fave everyone's ar

Hey everyone!
  So yeah, had a unpleasant visit with the Orthodontist today.  I thought my teeth were somewhat good, but I was told a WHOLE other story.  Apparently- I have a slight under-bite (so my bottom teeth are starting to get "shoved" back funny), I have a cross-bite(the two little k9 teeth on the bottom are kind of covering the teeth next to them), and my palate (the roof of my mouth) is very narrow, instead of wide, forcing the teeth to be "crammed".  So unlike my sister who had lots of big gaps, I'm the opposite, with my teeth too close.  Oh my God, I was seriously freaking out beca


11/09/09--18:28: Piggy got me! (chan 2063696)




How neat, for a limited time only us peeps that are too cheap for a subscription can get journal skins for free :P

Anyways- Yep, h1n1 got me.  And I have Asthma so hopefully I won't die.  My mom says the chances of that happening are very slim- but ya never know lol.  I'm upping my daily dose of Vitamin C, D, E, and Fish oil.  Ughh I feel terrible.  
BUT- I did 4 new pictures with my Prismacolored pencils and they are very prettyful... as soon as the scanner is available I'll be sure to post them for ya guys.

Hello!
  ~Figured I'd update my journal since Facebook is having issues (DARNIT!).  I can't wait for Thanksgiving break! I can almost taste it lol.  I'm just not looking forward to all the food.  Every year the same thing happens to me.  I tell myself "Ok, just take a couple slices of turkey, a little gravy and cranberry sauce... There! Now I won't have to be all bloated and yucky feeling!" *THREE SERVINGS LATER* "UGHHHHH I feel horrible.. Why did I take more food?!!" xD

GRRR I HATE THAT. SO MUCH.  Whenever people say that kind of thing I get all "Ohho noooo you didn't, FOO!" :lmao:  And because on my profile it says I'm in Thailand guys are like "WOW YOU'RE FROM THAILAND?! DO YOU SPEAK THAI?"
Me: "Do I LOOK like I'm thai?!!!" TT____TT;;
Jeez.  Oh and it gets much better.. Sometimes I get the 40-something guys that are like "HIYA BABE!"
Me: "WTF.. I don't know you why are you calling me BABE?!!!"
Sorry for that lit

Alright.. I've been thinking about college and I "think" I know what I'm going to do.  Hopefully I'll get a couple degrees in art/graphic design, then get a masters degree in education. :}  That way someday I'll be able to teach art to younger kids in a school, or work for some sort of advertising company since I would have a degree in Graphic Design...
Three cheers for college! ;)
