Reminiscing~

so as i was cleaning my room i found a folder :]
i clean my room maybe once a year xDD
normally i wouldnt think much of it, and i'd just throw it into the trash
but this folder was different.
it was pink... and had flowers and fairies on it xD
so, out of curiosity, i opened it.
then i basically started crying.
for 2 reasons.
1- happiness
2- sadness
and yes, im just that weird that i can cry for both reasons AT THE SAME TIME
im not crying anymore
and im...well..at peace again (for the time being) >.<
so in the folder, i found some of my really old drawings. i dont even remember doing half of them. as (most) of you know, i started drawing (late) in my freshmen year of high school. so i was like 14. thats also the year i grew a liking to anime, and the same year i went to my first con/made my first cosplay- a very anime filled year^^
i try not to think of that year very much. because when i do, i grow emotional (ew like a girl) and i usually start to cry. im smart enough not to think of these things while im at school or with friends.
and of course im weird enough, that none of my friends actually know i still cry when i think of that year. apparently im a good actor^^ (i should try out for the school play huh? actually i did^^ im still waiting for the results...)
im now a Junior in high school, so it really hasnt been that long. er.. 16(because i lied on the age thing ^^;;) and yeah~ i talked to my mom about it, and she said that by now i should be over it...
but im not.
and i dont think i ever will be.
and no, i dont think im ready to talk about it on here... sorry... maybe another time...

so the 2007-2008 school yeah, was VERY strange for me...
there were good moments like:
- learning to love anime
- making new friends
- starting high school
- made my first cosplay
- fell in love with art
- went to my first anime convention
- created a relationship with my brother (we were never close before that year)
- learned to appreciate life, and all it has to offer
- (my group) started an anime club at school
- spent alot of quality time with my (real) parents
- went to the pound, and picked up a rescue puppy, who otherwise would of died.
- started playing lacrosse at school
- my first cell phone
of course there were countless moments i spent with friends, and memories i have made that would take forever to explain...and even then, most of you wouldnt understand haha, way too many inside jokes and unspoken thoughts xD
anyway~
i've officially strayed away from what i was going to say in the first place >.>

in my folder (which i completely dont remember at all, even though my handwriting covers the front and inside...) i found a bunch of pictures- drawings i should say (im now repeating myself i think xD) i dont remember doing half of them...and the other half i remember them being alot different...
they are horrible to say the least xD
but each one reminded me of a memory...be it good or bad
so i dont think im going to be throwing away this folder just yet^^
lol my friend Amber (aka Yaoi-chan) keeps telling me to post some of them (the ones that are not as crappy xD but still suck because i just started learning xD) i warn you that if i do... they will be moved to scraps after a little while xD AND i would love to hear some amazing flamers laughing about how horrible they are xDD im not even kidding, i would love to hear them xDD
-sigh- these are just horrible xD
i still dont remember drawing some of these... but i know that i must of..because they all have my signature on them, and my handwriting on the sides
(i used to love writing random short stories about the people i drew lol)
i remember writing most of the stories..but i swear the pictures look so foreign...
oh well..enough of my ranting
O.O"" holy shit thats a long post xDD

~Riska

but for me thats like a really long time xDDD

you guys dont know how much that means to me x333
i've been going through alot of crap lately (but hey, who hasnt? lol) but it makes me feel so much better knowing that i can come on here, and know that i would be missed if i were to leave x3
when ever i get a comment this is my reaction: "OMFG BBQ!!!! x333 YAY YAY YAY -throws confetti- woooo!!!!!!! xD YEAHHH!!! oooh oh oh oh oh what does it sayyyy~~~~~!!!! --more confetti-"
then i click on it...and i see a wonderful comment x3
which by the way, when ever i get comments saying "wow your so good" or "i wish i could draw like you" it chokes me up a little x3 i mean.. im still kind of a n00b here lol

thinking about quitting... at life x[ because i just fail that much apparently

category: Personal? i think so >.<
ps- i always spell category wrong, thank god for spell check lol

a while ago one of my art teachers asked me to make something for this fair art thingy, she said that my art is good- when i actually try and colour it lol
so i said that i would do it. plus i got extra credit :3 damn i such a nerd...
anyway, i worked on this art piece (its now back at school) really really hard! like i put hours of work into it each day... and personally i think it was the best picture i ever made :3
then i entered it.
and im now thinking about never drawing again.
because two of the 5 judges took one look at it and told me to give up being artistic, and take up a different hobby. another judge looked at my sympathetically and said, maybe art just isnt your thing. another said something like, your gonna need alot more practice. and the last judge is the only one who said that they liked it- but he still thought that i shouldnt of threw it together at the last minute...WHICH I DIDNT. then one of them wanted to look at my portfolio, so i showed them. he just looked through the pictures and was like...meh..
anyway it was worse then how im making it sound
i cried after
and i was completely embarrassed in front of all the people
and now i really dont want to draw anymore

-oh, and my submission was about Greek mythology, with an anime twist. so the gods and goddesses were all anime-fied :3
plus i coloured them all with coloured pencils, the expensive kind that blend easily lol
and all of the girls had really long hair, and i thought i did pretty good...

after the thingy, my art teacher asked how it went. so i told her. and she wanted to see the picture. so i showed her. she then wanted to hang it up in the room, because she liked it. i let her. but first i erased my name from the back, and put a blank sticker over my signature in the front.
i refuse to be made fun of for my crappy bleh that i used to call art

i officially hate contests, judges, and art.

and its not like this was a big-shot contest!
it was for amateurs!!
you had to be under a certain age!!
i think it was for 17 and under....
and i knew i wasnt going to win!
but they didnt have to be so mean about it...
there was only like 20 something submissions...
freaking jerks...
again- i really dont want to draw anymore.
bleh
now im in a really crappy mood....
stupid people
stupid art
stupid art teacher for signing me up
stupid friends who said i should enter something
stupid judges
stupid person who made some crappy abstract art piece that looked like it was thrown together in 20 minutes- AND FREAKING WON 1ST PLACE!!!
stupid judges
stupid judges...and their biased opinion for the same people every year
woakjhrmh rnhrwh uegpi
im going to end this here, before i add something that will get me in trouble
bye

~Riska

i dont even feel like listening to ATL
blah... here...
and if you are still reading then thanks i guess...

i used to hate this song...

oh my god o.o""

i just realized that if i get 2 or more subscribers, im on the members top 100 :O
holy crap
that would be amazing
like honestly
<33
so that is my new goal >D
now excuse me i need to do homework, draw a picture for Pants, and then get ready for bed :3
because im a dork like that and feel like going to sleep early

x333 i hope i make it to the top 100!!
that would like complete my life!!
even though there are other people on here that are wayy more deserving of the spot >.<

wish me luck!
