So there's these emotes having a party; two emotes decide to bring balloons. One emote -- let's call him E1 -- is all chilled and stuff so he carries three which leaves his friend -- E2 -- to bring the rest. But the helium is too much and it carries E2 high up into the sky. But E1 is so chilled out that he doesn't even notice that Angry Emote is giving him evils. Meanwhile, Crying Emote, Noes Emote and Shocked Emote are freaking out, and Slow Emote is finding the whole situation funny.

Ok, so I'm a little crazy. WELL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU WHEN YOU'VE GOT 4 ASSESSMENTS IN ONE WEEK, ONE AFTER THE OTHER! (Read my tweets here, here, here and here, if you wish.) On Monday I had a drone improvisation performance (drone: the generation of a single note that provides a tonal reference point; one sustained note; make a low, continuous humming sound; synonyms: boring). Yesterday (Tuesday) I had to submit a referenced paragraph and bibliography. The quality of the content didn't matter, I just had to be able to footnote and reference properly. (The point of it is to make sure we know how to footnote and reference for the essay due at the end of the semester.) Today I had an aural test. This involved melodic dictation, rhythmic dictation, interval recognition and other musical things. Due on Friday is a sonic branding mp3. Basically, I have to compose 2-4 seconds of sound that would be used in a TV or radio advertisement (eg. Intel), but I got that all done today -- EASY PEASY -- and submitted it! NOW I'M FREE AS A BIRD! And I have 2 weeks off, thanks having no class on Thursday and Friday, to Student Vacation (StuVac) next week and the Easter/Anzac Day holidays!

NOW I'M GONNA PARTY LIKE IT'S NINETEE--

Oh, I'm too late.

Last week's Eddsworld comic featured a little girl asking Tom about his eyes. For those who don't know, Tom has eyes that are big black circles, and is the only Eddsworld character with eyes like that. Tom proceeds to explain but then the third panel goes MISSING! In the end, both Tom and the little girl now have blacked-out eyes.

So I got this crazy little idea that maybe an alien lived inside Tom's brain or something. Check out my crap little fan art (or not, since it's crap).

My 3rd panel: [link]

HAPPY NEW YEAR DEVIANTS! 2010 has been crazy, so let's hope 2011 is even crazier!

I've just uploaded my first deviation in a long while [link] , and it may be the last one for another long while, so cherish it But I'm hoping to upload more often this year, due to the fact that I'm taking part in Project 365 this year [link] I'm actually using a polaroid camera (Fujifilm Instax mini 7) instead of a digital camera or my phone so that it's easier for me to remember to take a photo every day.

(Now that I've uploaded something, all that's left is to catch up on my messages! That thing's stacking up...)

Anyway, not much to say this time round. Hope your year is successful and prosperous, even with all the disappointments and pit stops.

<sup>I had a random injury just tonight. I think it was from sitting on my foot, but I always sit on my foot when I'm sitting at my desk. It was weird. It feels like I sprained it? Maybe it's from walking around shopping today. I do not _know. I put Deep Heat and bandaged it up and everything now, and I'll sleep on it, so hopefully it's better in the morning.

ANYWAY,

I finally got off my lazy ass and uploaded some more crap to my gallery AWWW YEEAHHH. I'm in between uploads as I write this, meaning there's still more to come. Good day for you watchers  of mine, eh?

I'm also uploading more 'cause just the other day, I logged in to dA just to make sure my message centre wasn't overflowing with deviations, and instead of seeing the regular homepage, I saw this instead: [link]

Happy deviant birthday to me! Woot woot woo.

But am I the only person who thinks it's weird that for my 1st deviant birthday, dA encourages-- no, tells me to get a subscription to become a Premium Member? I mean, they should be giving me a present or something, not the other way around.

Another reason I'm uploading more deviations is 'cause I've got more time on my hands, and I can afford to lose sleep. WHY?! Well, simply put, I dropped out of uni. Only temporarily. Is that even possible? I guess so. I'll be going back to school hopefully next semester (July-Nov) but if things go well with my job hunting, I may postpone going back to school till next year. But that'd be stupid. I wanna get my new course over and done with so I can enter the job/industry of my dreams -- teaching.

After graduating from high school in September 2007, I didn't get the marks I needed to get into primary school teaching at uni(versity). So I went to TAFE (not sure what the international equivalent of that would be; maybe like USA's community college?) and studied Business Management for a year (don't ask why; it's complicated). I used the marks/qualifications from BusMgmt to get into uni, and started a Bachelor of Business & Commerce, majoring in Financial Mathematics (I only chose to major in that instead of Accounting or some other crap 'cause I LOVED Maths in high school).

Since starting that course in February 2009, I've pretty much hated it. When I got my marks after the first semester I was blown away by how crap I did and immediately decided that I wanted to become a music teacher. I tossed the idea around for too long, and before I knew it, I was half way through my second semester of Financial Maths. Ugh.

Long story short, I put off dropping out of uni too long, and the day I submitted the form to "resign from my course" was what UWS calls the "census date", which is basically the deadline if you wanna drop a subject or two, pick up a subject or two, or drop out of the course entirely -- after having begun my 3rd semester of uni (they have a census date during the 5th week of every semester).

So I dropped out 3 or 4 weeks ago now, and since then, I've mostly been a couch potato with the occasional I-better-get-up-and-do-something-or-I'll-be-potato-shaped-soon attitude. I'm looking for a job and it's hard 'cause no one wants to hire me, but I'll keep looking anyway. Meanwhile, I've been given new students to teach piano. I had only 3 kids for the majority of last year, and while one stopped because she just "got bored" too often, I've already received 3 more kids this year. So even though I'm unemployed, I'm still getting some sort of income.

I used to have to use most of my weekly earnings to pay for bus and train fare to and from uni each week; I cut that expense in half this year by having 2 days of classes a week (instead of the 4 days/week I had last year); and now that expense is a no-no 'cause I'm not studying anymore. WHICH IS BRILLIANT!, 'cause now I've got no excuse to not save for things like a car and my own keyboard that I can bring to church and church camps (like how the guitarists/bassists have maybe multiple instruments and a case full of effects pedals and the drummers have spare cymbals and spare drums and spare drum skins and spare drum sticks).

Life is getting better, I guess. For the time being (that is, until I go back to school), I have to research the different college and uni courses around so I can find what will best suit what I want to do and what I hope to achieve. Yeap, yeap, yeap, everything's just sorta fallin' into place. Can't take any credit for all that, though. It all goes to Big Daddy/Lord Almighty/Creator of the Universe.</sup>

Uni(versity) classes officially start next week, the first of March, which is also, here in Australia, the first day of Autumn.

I have the best timetable for uni this semester. I only have 2 days of classes which are Wednesday and Thursday, and I think I did a pretty good job at my timetabling. Wednesday, I'm there from 11-5, and Thursday, 10-4. Each day, I have a one hour break; every 2nd Wednesday, however, I get a 3 hour break (one of my tutorials is held fortnightly -- win!)

I'm still looking for a job. Ugh. It's so hard to find an employer that's willing to hire a 20-year-old full-time uni student who's never had a job in her life, hence, has no experience in anything that they want me to have experience in. UGH!

The other day I visited my old high school with my sister (she just graduated last year) who needed to grab something from her old teacher, who also used to be my teacher AND is the uncle of one of my friends from senior school. He told me if he hears of any job opportunities, he'll notify me through my friend. Fingers crossed that someone he knows has an opening.

My teacher also said I looked really relaxed. I think I'm TOO relaxed. I'm looking forward to going back to school so I have an excuse to leave the house.

I spend BARELY HALF a week in classes, so that means I get a DAMN LOT of free time. Other than studying, I might use that time to hang out at parks and things and take photos. Or draw. Or write. Or just chill.

Autumn's my favourite season. I guess 'cause it's the cooling-down season of the year. I mean, I love all four seasons equally, but autumn is #1 in my heart, yo.

Peace out to the chillax man.

[UPDATE 15.02.2010] More giraffes! [/UPDATE]

[UPDATE 11.02.10] Yesterday I uploaded 5 new giraffes! Here they all are. [/UPDATE]


OneMillionGiraffes.com is a project by Ola Helland to collect 1,000,000 (one million) giraffes by 2011 through the internet. However, they must all be created/drawn/made without the help of a computer and cannot be a store-bought object.

I've already submitted two giraffes which can both be viewed here. I may upload my giraffes here to dA to my scraps or something, but for now, they'll only be available for viewing on OneMillionGiraffes.com.

There are already over half a million giraffes on the site; I suggest you check 'em out! And I also suggest that you participate and help Ola to reach that ONE MILLION target before the end of the year arrives!

Finally got around to doin' some uploadin' on this dear site.

Pls check out my latest pics?

Hopefully I can make it a habit to upload photos within the week after I take them, instead of taking months. Ugh.

It is quarter to 3 in the morning here and I gotta be somewhere at 7. Ugh.

Got a query?

Happy New Year everyone!

At the time of posting this, it's coming close to the first sunset of 2010 here in Sydney, but I believe there are still places that are still waiting for the last few seconds of 2009 to arrive so they can count down to fireworks and such.

Are any of my watchers still waiting for that?

Wishing everyone on dA and anyone else who may come across my dA profile a Merry Christmas, and in case I forget to visit the site, a Happy New Year as well!

I hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas and that y'all had enjoyable ones.

Don't forget the real reason why we celebrate Christmas, and check out what Christmas is usually like in Australia!

I hope everyone had better weather than I did over here in Western Sydney. It rained here from the 24th to today, the 26th.

I joined formspring.me. It's this site where people can post anonymous questions to your profile, and then you answer them. When I signed up for it last week, there were 3 "default" questions there. They're the only questions I've received so far :dohtwo:

CLICKY

Also, pls fight my brute. It needs a little bit o' fightin'.

I came across this site where the drawing-type of artists (or anyone, for that matter) submits drawings that they drew in under 10 minutes. However, there's a monthly theme that you have to follow. November's was the Moon. The site doesn't seem to say what December's theme is, though.

If you're interested, I suggest you check it out. And perhaps also spread the word.

I turned 20 yesterday, on the 19th of September. Well, yesterday for me. As far as I know, it's still the 19th in some time zones. I just don't know where. West US, I guess. Hey, that rhymes!

For my birthday, my parents [finally] bought me a new digital camera. There was a sale at Harvey Norman (the electronics store) last weekened, so my dad gave me the catalogue and I picked the camera I wanted -- a Canon PowerShot A480. I looked up the cameras that were in the catalogue and I compared each one, eliminating them by the qualities I didn't like.

The A480 has 10 megapixels and 3.3x optical zoom, and can do macro (close-up) shots! That feature was the number 1 feature I wanted in a camera. I played around a bit with the macro settings yesterday; it was pretty fun. Once I figure out how to get the CD-ROM that came with my camera to work on my laptop, which has a broken CD drive, I'll upload some of the pics to dA.

My first feature [link] It's outside of dA, but a feature nonetheless. Thanks ~Quakeulf2

(I have a fever, and I can't find a journal mood icon for "Sick" or something along those lines. But I'm in bed under the covers 'cause I'm freezing, but at the same time, I'm sweating like a pig.)

If you're a photographer and/or blogger, you've more than likely heard of Project 365 before. Basically, you take a photo a day, starting on the first of January, and each photo is meant to represent that day in some way. There are 365 days in a [regular] year, hence the name "Project 365".

Here's a tutorial that explains it better than I do, which I found on Photojojo: [link]

I explain my reason for undertaking the Project in my blog: [link]

The fun starts here: [link]

My Project photos can also be found on Flickr: [link]

Just a quick journal entry to let y'all know that I made a Flickr account, just for the heck of it. I haven't uploaded anything there yet. For one thing, I haven't got a proper camera, so I don't take photos as often as I used to. However, I just got a new phone (Nokia E63), which has a camera better than my old phone (Nokia 6300), so I may start taking more photos. We'll see how it goes.

I'm going through a time where I need to de-clutter my life, so I'm permanently deleting certain deviations from my gallery, as well as un-favouriting some of my favourite deviations. I'm not gonna list them - the list is too extensive.

However, I will say that all of my Drawings -- except Hand -- will be deleted.

If you faved a deviation of mine that is getting deleted - sorry.

If I faved one of your deviations, well... meh.

Want to know my reasons? Feel free to ask. FAQ's may be posted in a future journal entry.

I haven't been on dA in SO LONG, OMG. This is SO bad. But hello! I'm back. I promise promise promise I will check dA more often now. And I'll be more active on here. Make more frequent visits instead of signing in once a month. Really. I promise. Cross my heart, hope to die, poke a needle in my eye. (Too far? That's what we used to say when I was little )

So obviously, I've got a lot of notifications in my message center that I need to eliminate. Deviations, journals, polls, comments, replies, notes, news articles, etc. I'll definitely be on dA a lot over the next few days (weeks?) trying to clear that out.

Hello deviants!

Oh my, I have really been neglecting dA, haven't I? =S

This is just a quick note to say ~Gnog made me an avatar and it's the one you see right now.

Thanks ~Gnog
