Something random you should know: I LOVE it when people draw the character's personality is intact(in other words, unchanged)~ it really gives the picture a better feel because they act the same as they were made to be.

Happy Halloween!!~

Hiya everyone!! A very short post but just to let you know that I had a blast of a Halloween and I hope you guys did too!(I went trick or treating as a gangster from the 50s this year xDD)
I feel bad for not getting any art in this year AGAIN T__T Ugh I WILL make Christmas and hopefully thanksgiving though! You guys have my word on that!(and if I don't, please feel free to whack me *Sighs*)
Love you all! Take care!!<3

GAH

I am NEVER EVER EVER going away for that long EVER again!! Gosh I missed you guys so freaking much I was about to go crazy! >.< My parents have been all "forget about them, it's not like you've ever even met them anyway" and I'm all "so what, they're still my friends (and there's nothing you can do about it)!!" Aaaannddd so they told me that I could only spend a minimal 10 MINUTES A DAY on here until I finished golf season GAH!

But ANYWAYS! Hello everyone and am I GLAD to be posting again!! Hopefully I can get to comments this weekend(and maybe some art too if I'm lucky)! I've got quite a bit of news to let you guys in on, but I'll keep it simple xD

So I went to the Regionals Tournament on the 27th and my GOSH IT WAS THE COURSE OF DEATH. I SWEAR I was about to punch a wall or something xDDD It was so hard that only 1 GIRL (who had the Regionals course as her home course) MADE IT TO STATE 0__o Everyone shot like 20 strokes worse than usual LOL(luckily I only shot 10 worse than usual xD).
Not to mention I had a LARGE work load to make up when I got back T__T I even had to postpone 2 tests for it...>.<

I haven't drawn in so long that I feel like my art is getting worse T__T I'm trying to get back in to things so my skills won't start degrading, but my anatomy skills are just all over the place! I'll figure it out eventually though! *nods*

I had a piano recital yesterday as well and it went FANTASTIC! One of my close friends even got to come to it too, so that made performing even more worthwhile ^^

I'm almost done with gaia commissions so I will FINALLY be free soon! And HALLOWEEN TOMORROW!! Expect to see a separate post from me then =P
Take care everybody!!<333 Love you guys!

Sixteen and Two Days Later

*waves and hugs you all* Hiya everyone!!! ^^ Gosh it has been an incredibly lonnggg week but I've got so much to tell you all! Well, not THAT much really, but anyways~ I'll just get on with it xD

So first off I wanted to thank you all soooooo soooooo much for all of the wonderful birthday wishes/gifts/cards and EVERYTHING!!<3 Thank you so much for being there with me this whole way >.< When I saw all of the birthday wishes and such it made my day and I just HAD to smile! You guys are the sweetest people ever, you know that?<3333

And second of all, I have been working on art(but playing Final Fantasy XII more xDD)~ however it's mostly commissions @__@ Still need to finish up since I've barely had time for much of anything T__T But even so, I'll hopefully get up something sometime soon!

Finally, golf season is coming to a close!!<333 We had our County tournament match yesterday, and although we didn't do THAT great, we didn't finish in last place at least xD I shot better than I did last year too, which was also a plus! ^^ And I got to enjoy some delicious strawberry Boba tea(with pearls!) and some Chicken Katsu for dinner to celebrate =P One more match to go(on Monday!) and then I'll be home free!

Unless I make it to Regionals...then I'll have to go another week xD

I'll be getting to PMs soon, I promise! I'm sorry about the lateness of my replies >.< I have like...21 PMs or something to answer LOL.
Take care everyone and I hope you all are doing well!

Happy Clergy Appreciation Day xD

Hiya everyone~ I have no idea what Clergy Appreciation Day is for, but I saw it on my calendar and hence the title of this post xD

So this week is going to be quite exciting!!<3 Busy, but exciting nonetheless~ ^^ Especially since my birthday is coming this wednesday~~ I'm soo excited(16 isn't as big of a deal as 18 is, to me, though xD)!

I'm sooo sorry for my negligence and everything >.< I shall have to get to comments today! *nods* I feel terrible for just seeing you guys's works/voting but not commenting T__T I promise I'll get to those today!

Aside from that, if you guys have a gaiaonline, let me know so I can add you!(I'm Riiya22) I've been spending quite a bit of time there(because I've got commissions to do...kyahh @__@)~ but anyways, they'll hopefully be done soon! I'm trying to use the commissions as a chance to a)make someone happy and b)improve my art skills ^^;
And I'm so so sorry about birthday gifties too! @__@ Sooo busy, it's not even funny! BUT Golf season ends after this week so I'm going to be MUCH more free after that!! *squee*

Hope you guys are doing well!!<3 Let me know how you all are doing!(I'll get to pms ASAP!) Take care<3333
And you guys have all been improving sooo much with your art and wallpaper/card-making skills >.< It's soo amazing to see how you all are getting better! *nods* Keep up the amazing work you guys<333

Conclusion to the most terrible week of school so far....

Hiya everyone!! Gosh, this week was TERRIBLE! Over the course of 5 days I only had a total of 15 hours of sleep! xD This week was actually the toughest week I've ever had in school so far...but Junior year has just begun so we'll see how the rest of this goes! *nods* Test by test, quiz by quiz, homework by homework!

So I've got a huge list of gaia commissions to do...3 to be exact(but you guys know how I am about my artwork xDD)! So you might not be seeing anything from me here until then...I only want to show you guys my best work, remember *nods*.

In other news, my birthday is in 2 weeks!! >.< On PSAT day, to be exact LOL. I might even end up having a golf match on my birthday xDD Lots of stuff happening on the 14th @__@ I hope that turning 16 doesn't feel too weird though...(it probably won't end up hitting me until afterwards like usual xD)

I apologize again for lack of art! I promise I'll make a huge comeback here with a new piccy when I can! >.< Until then, bear with me! *hugs you all*
Take care you guys and I hope each one of you isn't working too hard!
