A Brief Respite

Mon Feb 16, 2009, 11:37 AM
  • Mood: Optimism
  • Listening to: "Falling in Love (Innocente)" by Deliriu
  • Reading: "Dark Guardian" by Christine Feehan
  • Watching: Eyeshield 21
  • Drinking: UltraLife Tropical Detox
Hey, everyone! :)

Finally, a week off school... and you have no idea how much I need it. (wipes brow and collapses on her chair) Not that the slave drivers actually expect us to rest, seeing as they've given me no less than six essays to do over the holiday, but I think I may leave some of them for a while.

So, how's my life been going... well, my family situation could definitely be better at the moment, admittedly, but I guess very few people's couldn't be. And I did get to help name the twins that my Dad's wife is expecting in May :] It's a boy and a girl - so not the identical Sunstreaker and Sideswipe I was anticipating, lol - and their names will be Billie Rose and Jack. God, I would kill for a name like Billie Rose, the lucky kid. Aside from that, I'm having a great time in terms of my writing - I seem to have found a way to balance schoolwork with my favourite hobby, and I just completed Chapter 4 of my original fiction, Aurora (title finally revealed to you :3). I'm also swiftly working on the next chapter of When We Dared the Dawn, so those of you that follow Deux Claret shouldn't have to wait too much longer for an update. ^^

On another good point, I've finally come into possession of Photoshop CS3! Not, of course, that I have the faintest clue how to use it. For those of you who have it, do you recommend I buy a tablet? If so, what make/type? I hope to be able to use it as well as the other artists on this website, all of whom have much greater talent than me, but I would love to be able to put some decent art up for a change. :] If anyone can give me any advice, please do - it would be much appreciated.

And omg - forgot to mention - the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen trailers! Is anyone else screaming with joy?! *grins* It looks so wonderfully dark this time around! Oh, I can't wait. For those of you who haven't seen any ROTF videos yet, watch them now!

For the last one, Ratchet is visible... you just have to look really closely at the end behind the blue Volt. I'm guessing he's going to be the guy that ends up staying behind all the time to fix everyone and take care of the base... he'd better have a good amount of dialogue and at least two instances of getting his rotary saw out, or I will personally kill Michael Bay... *eyes turn red as she transforms into a Decepticon and looms over Michael Bay's house threateningly*

Anyway, check you later! :glomp:

Things to Do:

[] Second gift oneshot: Red in the Holly for Lecidre
[x] Chapter 4 of Aurora
[] Chapter 5 of Aurora
[] Chapter 12 of When We Dared the Dawn (Strike of Midnight)
[] Review The Heroes Amongst the Stars
[] Plan an Eyeshield 21 oneshot - Hiruma/Mamori
[] Next request for Capricious (In Denial)
[] Art trade: Erin and Starscream for Strawberrytop007
[] Purchase Shirley Valentine for English Literature
[] Complete half-term homework
[] Try and work out how to use Photoshop CS3

Ive already seen the first two videos but the last one was way to EPIC for human comprehension, all our minds just imploded from the awesomeness and it's all your fault, Thankyou for that XD


That's cool you have a week off :D I had Friday and Monday off for presidents day. You really have six essays? That's horrible :wow: are they long essays?

Slave drivers no less. I absolutely agree on the term you gave them…suits perfectly. That’s always like that. You are supposed to rest, but all you get is more H/W as if you haven’t worked enough during the semester… -_-

OMG! You wrote FanFic and I found out just now?!?!?!?!?!? :o I will check asap :D BTW, when will you post at least a glimpse of Aurora???


Wow! You got Photoshop! My congratulations! :party: Don’t worry you will master it as you go  As for the tablet, there are many ones.. You should but type ‘tablet’ in the Amazon search to see how many there are. Depends which one you want and within which price dimensions… I started off with Genius 6 x 8, and now I own also and do my digital art with my new Genius F610. My old one acts now as a replacement should something happen to F610 so that I wouldn’t be left without a tablet. I am pleased with it. Everyone seems to like Wacom these days and claim they are good. There is also Cintique, but it’s very expensive and they go mostly for pro artists or whoever can afford them lol

TF 2 trailers? Of course….Seen them all :D

Try and work out how to use Photoshop CS3??? Search dA for tutorials. Here are very good ones or….ask us anything :D :hug: I know I use another Program but the principles are the same :)

It's nice that you can get a holiday in, once in a while. Congratz on getting photoshop CS3! I have Cs2 They're all the same almost so no worries. In my case just play around with it and you'll get it sooner or later. Though, on getting a tablet I would wait on that and just use the draw plus scanner thing a little more until your comftrable with your style of drawing. My friend at school told me that and so far it's been working nice for me...even if it is a hassle. I can't color my stuff and that totally sucks!
Get a Wacom tablet, the lowest one is about 80 dollars but it's pretty small, so the biggers ones would be like 40 dollars more.
But other than that, keep going with the drawing stuff!!!

-Love ya Rose!!!

Lucky you get a break, I'm just getting off from a long weekend and here you are getting to chill lol

That's stupid that they gave you 6 essays. No breaks for British students apparently.

And YES TF 2 I'M SO EXCITED!!!
MORE ROBOTS LESS HUMANS!

And I am totally psychic for the Autobots in Egypt :bow:

Have fun on break!

Once in a while, life gives you a chance to measure you worth. Sometimes you're called upon to make a split-second decision to do the right thing, defining which way your life will go. These are the decisions that make you who you are.
:icontlcoopi7:
It is a good thing that you are getting a break. I can't wait to see more of Deux Claret.

You know what hurts? Being in love with something that isn’t real. Not only is it embarrassing, but you have this feeling that it’s a curse and it won’t ever go away. Nothing good is going to come out of that...
:iconlecidre:
Good to hear that you're finally having a break! Hope everything is fine with those essays you're going to write. And those names you gave your brother and sister are great! :D

And goodness, the third vid is absolutely awesome! Seeing those cool cars almost made me squeal hysterically with joy... Can't wait to see the movie! And I'm also looking forward to your update. Wish you are doing well on all the schoolwork and writing at your hand! :hug:

Megatron: Do you think I actually want to spend the rest of eternity gazing at your unsightly visage?
Starscream: Trust me, your visage is no picnic either. And your face is ugly too!

Holiday's for the win! Also, what cute names! :D And those trailers, I freaking love them, I so wait for the movie. Good luck with your studying and writing, enjoy your break! :hug:
