The Beginning of Thanksgiving Break

Hey everyone, how's your holiday break going so far?

Last day of school was yesterday for us, and my friends and I celebrated by going to the movies. You'll never guess which..... Twilight
Shocker isn't it?

We got their an hour earlier so we wouldn't have to worry about it being sold out. Fortunately, there was only one or two groups of people in line. Unfortunately, it was raining. Hard.

We took shelter in a convenient store and also bought some unneeded extra calorie snacks to sneak in to the movies. I felt bad for the people working there, we were making so much noise. XD

To the workers' relief, we heading to the checkout counter :]

You mind sharing some of those cookies, Cathers?

....nevermind.

And then a little window shopping afterwards.
It's a mall, we can't resist

The movie was overall pretty good. We laughed a little more than we should have though. lol Apart from that, I love Jackson Rathbone as Jasper~ <3

I'll be browsing around TheO today to reply to old messages and new and old submissions. I'm sorry I take forever to comment on everything. >n< (NOTE: If you haven't noticed, the subscriptions button isn't working on my laptop so I have a hard time keeping up with updates)


My "stay-at-home-look"! Baggy PJ's. Disheveled hair. No contacts on. No makeup. .....I'm such a dork. XD
At least I have my hot chocolate,nice for cold rainy days like these. ^u^

Hope everyone's doing well! No homework is great, isn't it? ^^

Day Off

Hey everyone! I pretty much disappeared for about two weeks, neh? I'm sorry about that. I've been having emo mood swings lately where I just become exaggeratedly depressed and find no purpose or motivation in doing anything. I hope none of you have gone through that. It's not fun, not at all. XD

As you can probably tell, I'm feeling MUCH better now. My mom sent me a few j-dramas to watch, and seeing bad things occur yet the characters keep going was enough of a motivation boost, not to mention a good laugh. ^u^ I recommend Hana Yori Dango to anyone who likes watching j-dramas ^^

Well, now for some fun updates of Halloween, regardless of how long ago it was! The homecoming game performance was great! The crowd went crazy when the Dance Team came on. It was a little gross to lay on the grass the football players had just sweat and probably spit on. Eww. >3< lol Nonetheless, my friends and I had fun dancing.

Rawr! Look at our amazing zombie makeup! One of my friend's mom is a makeup artist and they both did a wonder job on making us look scary. The blood was so sticky ....but edible! (NOTE: We were being crazy and taking lots of pictures, and my friends all teased me saying that I wasn't good at being scary XD )

Speaking of edible, gotta love the Halloween themed strawberry cake~ <3 (I ate the white chocolate tombstone in 2 bites. XD )

Two weeks... haven't drawn in two weeks.. That's gotta be a problem. ;n;
I'll practice today (yay for day off )and hopefully post art this weekend. Pchat would be good practice..... Pchat anyone? XD

NOTE: I just realized I'm even more behind on artwork and messages than ever. o3o"

Luvs to everyone~

Happy Halloween!

lol
I'm leaving soon for our dance performance for our school's Homecoming Game, but I thought I'd drop by to wish everyone a great Halloween! Be safe and get as much candy as possible! >w<
Don't eat too much of it in one night though; waking up to a tummy ache tomorrow wouldn't be fun. lol
I'll be back late since I'm going to a party straight after the game, but I'll be on during the weekends to reply to messages and comment on new art! Have a wonderful Halloween day~! <33

Thank Goodness It's Friday

I've had this song stuck in my head all day. ^^;;

School work takes up so much of my free time. (Not to mention, the dance routines I haven't practiced yet and being tested on Tuesday. x_x ) I'm sure a lot of you are thinking of the same thing: "It's finally Friday!" lol
I'll be commenting on a lot of artwork today since I'm not sure if there's any plans on the weekends. Pretty sure I'll be caught up on commenting on all of my friend's new artworks, if there's any that I've missed. Please let me know. ^^ There isn't too much to say, so I'll let you guys go. :D Hope everyone's doing well and getting enough rest! (Some of you that I know of have to stay up pretty late to finish homework. Hopefully that won't last for too long! )
-tackle hugs everyone- lol

Oh! One more thing, I'm doing art trades if anyone's interesting. I'm actually hoping on not having to draw too much more fan characters since they seem to be taking up most of the categories now instead of the original characters from the series.. ^^;; Original characters are fine though, just PM me if you're interested!

Oh! (Ah! Need to stop typing!) I've finally got the Anime Studio 5 installed and I'm starting to learn how to create movie animations. ^^ (It's actually a gift for my sister, but she's only 7. Won't know how to use that for a while). ...okay, I'm done. I promise. ^^;;

.... -tackle hugs again- :P

EDIT: I changed my avatar. ^^ It's a picture of me making a funny face at my friend (who was taking the picture) lol I'll change it back later, just wanted to make an avatar out of that pic. :P

Grounded

Hey everyone, sorry for disappearing for a week. ^^;;; I'm grounded from the internet for yelling back at my mom. (It's not what you think. We were practicing on my driving and she scared me half to death with her panic and screaming out directions of which way to go. So I told her not to scream at me without realizing that I was screaming it back at her. ^^;;; ) -sigh- I'm actually suppose to be working on my lab report, but I snuck up to let you guys know. I have one more week of punishment, so I'll be back soon after that. Sorry everyone, art comments are going to keep piling up, neh? lol

-hugs and a cookie-
