I thought I'd write a journal to maybe make up for the lack of art... I know it's annoying. Ehem. I have three pictures but I haven't finished colouring the tail of one and they all need a background! Plus a surplus of amazing cutting techniques seeing as the people in the art department ripped my paper in half as opposed to being professional and using a guillotine (I only used one half of an A2 piece of paper and the other was for pencil testing ). Silly teachers.

But expect some art from me in a week or two! It will happen... sometime soon.

I have re-joined Neopets, simply because I was bored at night and resorting to... SOLITAIRE. When you find yourself enjoying solitaire you notice that your life is really mundane. So I joined Neopets because I adore the games. But as sticky sites go, I was pulled back into living on the site and collecting points like some crazed pre-teen.

So it's been the holidays for over a month! Happiness! I have been slacking off, hardly seeing the sun and occasionally meeting up my my super awesome friends. Last week I got my marks back! I was satisfied.

Visual Art 4 - Excellent achievement
Japanese 2-3 - Excellent achievement
Cartooning - Excellent achievement
Photography 4 - Commendable Achievement
Life drawing - Commendable achievement
Digital art 3 - Satisfactory Achievement (sooooo much better than a fail, which is what I was expecting!

So in all I am really happy!

Next year I'm doing VET horticulture... Which is like a TAFE run thing, I believe. I decided I would really like to work either in Landscaping or floristry or something to do with plants and creating them and like... a garden fantasy for a home owner with my skills.

I am also doing;

Japanese 5C
Visual art production 5C
Photography 5C
Cartooning A

I hope that my new bedroom set up will benefit my art and I will be more inspired to spend my home time drawing rather than living in front of TV like I did most of this year ;3;

Aside from that, anyone who doesn't live under a rock would know that it was Christmas yesterday or two days ago depending on your location in the world. I had a pretty good one this year! I spent Christmas day with my friend Callum's family, which was nice! We ate yummy roasted goods and popped crackers! Then later we had some AMAZING pavlova! I feel so sorry for you yanks who probably don't know what pavlova is like... Mmm!
For the remaining time I watched my friend play a mixture of WOW, Halo 3 and Assassins Creed, which despite how it sounds wasn't horribly boring! Assassins Creed looks like a really interesting game. Seriously the graphics are sooooooo sexy. Callum has a HD computer screen he plays his games on and the graphics were so amazing. I was like dying from graphics related lust.
After that we went home where I crashed from a diet of pure sugar that day and I was really grumpy and depressed. Ah well, that's the way these things happen sometimes!

Now as I am a materialistic child I will say what I got on such a wonderful holiday;

-A loft bed, like with a desk underneath it for my PC
-The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya box and the first two DVD's <3 from =Moonlitsu I love you Britt ^3^
-A Stitch alarm clock (Stitch from Lilo and Stitch!) from =AtlanteanTiger Omg have my babies! This clock is adorable!
-A Baby fur Seal plushie from my friend Stephanie! Which is so adorable and realistic!
-An extremely random pink mushroom phone hang from =Moonlitsu (put it on my DS X3)
-Nausicaa of the valley of the wind, manga volume two!
-Sandalwood fan
-Sunnies
-A pack of glow in the dark stickers
-A haematite bracelet
-A tin of hello kitty grape flavoured lollies! Mmmm so good!
-A notebook with a fairy on the cover
-I also got a gift voucher for a local art store! It was for 100$ Spent it today...Bought;
-24 Pack of Prismacolor pencils
-24 Watercolour palate
-An A3 sketchbook
-2 Watercolour paint brushes, a 2 and 6 to be precise.
-A sharpener
-An eraser

All in all it's a good haul! I usually only get one or two big presents so, it was really nice to exchange with my friends this year ^____^

Now I can draw some nice pictures and maybe some gift art for people that I feel like gifting! There are a lot of people I adore so maybe it will take me until next Christmas >3<, but I have some time so I may as well get started!
