Mood: happy, I guess :D
Listening to: Smash Mouth - Can't Get Enough Of You Baby
Hey peeps! It's my first journal in...more than a month? I think I'm going to keep disappearing in the thin air from now on :D And I apologize for not replying to messages/comments, there are times when I just need to take a break from the online life. And, seeing as I currently have no incoming tests, I can concentrate on writing long and artistic posts (oh joy).
I've been writing a guide on how to color manga avatars (my way), but I doubt it'll be ready anytime soon, judging by the way I'm handling it >_< Buut, if people say they'd like to read it, I'll get my lazy butt to work on it!
Samples, so you know what to expect: one, two, three (well, you can't really tell the coloring, but I just like this one :D).
I've also been skipping the duty of making panoramas. Because I'm lazy and tired of seeing 25,000+ pixel wide pics and scrolling all the way to the edge. Luckily, my new computer (meh, it's some months old, but it's brand new to me) doesn't lag any more <3 Except when I'm playing The Sims 3, which hogs 1 GB of memory. Hooray.
Oh, and I finally got my CAE diploma - it's shiny! Which is all I could want from it, really. I mean, it was about time I got it, I did take my exam in May after all. And passed it with a whopping 91/100 (I'm so proud of myself - if I suck at all the other stuff, at least I know I'm good at English XD)
And I had Nico over this Saturday, so I could "tutor" her in English, since she's going to take the baccalaureate. I'm lucky that the CAE exam counts and I won't have to take it :D Of course, the BAC is easier than the CAE, but that's beside the point. We had fun, and then moved on to playing TS3 (and I think I'm on my way to getting her addicted too). It's a fun game because there are a lot of details you notice each time you play and it guarantees you a few months' time of discoveries. I'm thinking of creating a World to create stories, and purging the "Illuminated Works" one. I'm not that interested in sharing criticism at the moment and I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon either.
Some screenshots from the game I've been playing for two months now (and haven't gotten tired of, yet):
And yes, that's a ghost in the first picture. Looong story, you'll find out when I make the Sims World and start writing :D *cliffhanger!* Oh yes, I have "necrophiliac" written all over my forehead.
Aside from this, I don't know what to say ._. All my projects have been put on hold and I couldn't even find the motivation to participate in a Halloween-related contest which involves dark, monochromatic wallpapers (because I like to make bright and colorful wallpapers, dammit). Will not be working on another wallpaper/vector soon, aside from the obligatory yearly Princess Tutu wall, which will most likely be submitted in December (as usual).
Soo, I guess I'll end it here. Thank you very much for dropping by, I realize I'm a terrible friend and won't make you comment if you don't want to. If you don't want to leave a comment, I'll understand ^_~ *hugs* Take care of yourselves!
