Just wanted to let you know what's keeping me busy at the moment ^^

- Painting a poppy field (WIP: [link]
- Helping my bf build Pop 'n Music controllers XD (hopefully he'll let me upload photos of the finished products!)
- Finishing my thesis (my life work XD)
- Making sure that the cat doesn't tear the furniture apart ;_; She still isn't quite used to her new situation.

That's about it XD

I haven't been around for a while because I'm working on my thesis and rebuilding the house we bought. I hope I'll be back somewhere in February and I'll be checking once in a while ^^

For requests and commissions you can always send me a note, it'll just take a bit longer.

Thanks everyone for all the faves and comments~ Love you! <3

I'm so happy :D Today I got an e-mail from a teacher saying that he finally found someone to help me with my thesis. He also found someone to read as a second reader. There's been a lot of trouble at school finding teachers, so I'm glad that finally there's some news on that. Next week I have a meeting at the university about the thesis, so I'm looking forward to that. I want to start as soon as possible and graduate by the end of the year.

I don't update often enough. But I've started drawing more, and that's a big start.

Haha I wanted to use one of those pretty css layouts, but they don't work unless I buy myself a subscription again.

Also, I'm trying to get my master's thesis started, but I first I have to contact someone to help me get some teachers to read it. I do have a topic, I think. :> I'm not looking forward to writing it though, because I know it will be very hard work in the following three months.

I was tagged by :icondukacia: and :iconwillowwolf23: (I hope you don't mind I'm going for Kari's list ^^;)

I don't normally do this but this one looks like fun. x)

1. post these rules
2. each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. tags should write a journal/blog of these facts
4. at the end of the post, 8 more persons are tagged and named
5. go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged


Random facts about me:

1. I love cows. In fact, I collect them (especially plushies).

3. I'm addicted to DDR since two months ago
4. I actually like going to school and learning stuff more than I admit ><
5. I love coffee and can't do without it at school or at work

Snow day

Fri Feb 9, 2007, 3:24 AM
Yesterday was a snow day :D The white was really pretty. There was a weather alert here, and for a while I was wondering whether I should go to school or not. But then I figured that most of the time it turns out to be nothing, so I just went to school. And fortunately, no delays!
Today the snow melted away though. :(

Other news, we've got a new internet connection, which is faster than the old one. It's cheaper too :D

And my rabbit is just the cutest thing. He fell asleep this morning on my lap. ^__^ And now he's snoring in his cage, too (he actually makes this sound when breathing in his sleep).

This is also the first time using CSS in this post, so if the layout's screwed up you know why.

  • Drinking: Water
Statistics scare the hell out of me. But fortunately this is the last exam for this term so I can relax after Friday! Wish me luck! xD

Why am I writing about exams here? I honestly have no idea. Probably because they are on my mind and I have nothing else to think about (well, not really).

:xmas: Happy Holidays everyone. :xmas:

:heart:
  • Mood: Relief
Yay, a new term has started and the exams are finally over! More time to draw! (actually my schedule has only gotten more busy but who cares)
XD

I also wanted to wish you a happy (early) Halloween! I wish it was celebrated here, I'd love to dress up and scare the heck out of the kids XD
  • Mood: Anguish
Next week are exams! I hope to pass them all, because there are three of them and I only started studying this week :x
Still, if anyone wants a request/trade I'd be happy to do them, just to have something to do inbetween. :)
  • Mood: Tired
  • Reading: nothing atm :(
  • Eating: apple pie
  • Drinking: sweet white wine
Requests, trades, anyone? I'm pretty busy right now but I really need to have something to draw in between. So if you want me to draw something (I love trades even more!) just send me a note or something.
Please remember it could take up to a week, I'll let you know if it takes even longer (I always try to keep it within a week though).
I'm just saying this because I hardly ever get requests or trades, while I used to get them a long time ago. I also hear of friends doing requests and trades all the time, and I want to do that too.

I also have quite a few sketches lying around, I started working on some but I don't have the time or motivation to finish them. I will eventually, on my own pace. :)
Most of them are Lion King related, so I won't post much of them here, but the rest will be uploaded here.

:heart:
Wow, thanks for all the comments and faves I got while I was away... I really appreciate them all. I've looked through all the deviations too and enjoyed them very much. Thanks for that. :heart:

Vacation was really fun. The weather was so good the first week, but unfortunately not so good the last weeks. Still we did a lot of things and I enjoyed myself very much. I still have a load of drawings to upload, I will start doing that tomorrow, I never expected to be drawing so much XD So beware, lol.

Anyway, I went to see Pirates 2 again, and it was so much fun ^_^ My parents loved the movie too.

Aaaand I forgot to thank Lonina for the awesome avatar!! Thanks so much!! :hug: I only uploaded it today though because I was late yesterday and I had to catch some sleep... x-x
:heart:

Tonight I'm going to see the new Pirates movie :D Yay~

Right, vacation; I'll be gone for three weeks, starting tomorrow. I'll miss you all~ :heart:
I'm bringing my laptop so I might be able to do some digital drawings, and of course traditional ones too. Well, see you in three weeks!

A new journal entry? Yes, a new journal entry! ¬.¬

I just wanted to tell you all that I'll be gone for a few weeks on vacation. I'm going to the campingsite we've been going to for a few years now, our caravan stands there all the season. I'll only be home for me and my friend's birthday, which is on June 3rd, but after that I'll be at the campsite.

I hope it will be a little warmer outside in my favourite season the next few weeks. :(

I'll probably submit a load of new pictures when I get back ^_^
  • Mood: Mad
Seems I have missed my 5000 ;_; No drawing for the one who got that. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I'm not drawing so much as I used to, but I'm really trying my best to make something decent that I can submit. Somehow my doodles don't turn out good enough to work out, but I'm working on that. xD;
  • Mood:
Merry Christmas everybody!! I hope you all will have a great time.

I hope my grandmother comes out of the hospital soon, she's recovering slowly but surely. She's had two operations now, something with her intestines, but that's not important. She's going to be fine, and that's all that matters. We're going to have my grandfather coming over today, because otherwise he'd be all alone. And we're all going to visit my grandmother today too. ^_^

Happy holidays :>
