Listening to: Sam Sparro - Black And Gold
Hiya everyone! *hugs* Thank you for the comments on my last post! ^^ I don't mean to sound rude or anything ('cause it seems like each post's first paragraph is dedicated to coming up with a reason for not commenting!), but I won't be able to reply to comments for a while. Every time I access my comments page, it shows a "database error" message! Has anyone else had this problem? I PM'ed Adam about it but haven't got a reply yet... I hope he's reasonable and that PM'ing him was the right thing to do. Some admins yell at people for signaling errors -__-"
Last week wasn't too bad, if I think about it. On Friday we had 2 consecutive classes of Maths, but the teacher didn't come so one classmate phoned the teacher of Romanian L&L to allow us to leave (since we had 2 classes with her afterwards). When she answered the phone, he began speaking politely and asked if you could leave, then said "Oh, sorry!" and hung up. Turns out he phoned our 9th grade teacher instead! She stopped teaching in this high school when we were in the 10th grade and thought it was a prank call! XD We did manage to talk to the "real" teacher and she allowed us to leave, so we went home 4 hours sooner than usual ^_^
I think I mentioned it in the second post: this week we were supposed to start learning web design, with our head teacher (who also teaches Informatics or however it's called -you get the point). Since it's her, of course we did matrices (which aren't too difficult but boring) and no web design >_<" And I want to learn it so badly! I'm happy I picked up the basics along the way, but I'd still like to know it well. Maybe I'll also write some articles as I learn/understand it XD
Here's an image I drew a few weeks ago ^^ I'm planning to use this one and a few more I've yet to draw in an article about forums, that I've yet to write ^^" It's pretty obvious, so I don't think it needs explaining! The article will have the link to the higher quality pic too ^^ Or I'll upload it as a fan art, I'll see later.
My head hurts ;_; I'd better hurry up, it's already 11 p.m. and I want to watch TV XD Isn't it funny how kids want to stay up late, even though they have nothing to do? Then they realize it's not that great to have to go to bed late, once they grow up.
Art-wise, I'm working on more vectors at the moment; however, I'll post only the link to the Yuuki (Vampire Knight) one, since I'm too lazy to take screenshots of all of them ^^" It's another vexel, like the Sailor Neptune one from before. A group from MT also announced a Halloween contest and the entry has to be a dark wallie, so I'll be working on an original one. Luckily, I've already got a concept in mind; unluckily, it never ends up how I imagined it -_-" Let's hope it ends up reasonable, at least!
Oh, more avvies 
An extensive tutorial on how to make these is on the way! ^^
(Kaleido Star, Kamichu!, Vampire Knight, Sailor Moon)
And to end the post, I had a quiz accepted <3 I submitted it a few days and was beginning to think it was rejected, telling myself it takes longer to be approved just to feel better T_T But it was approved yesterday! <3 If you comment on it, I'm sorry for not reading it at the moment, the darn bug's in my way ;_; Anyway, here it is: What Kaleido Star Girl Are You?
Thank you so much for reading my posts, visiting me and commenting on my stuff <3 Somehow I feel like I don't deserve all this T_T *hugs everyone* I have some gifts in the making, so stay tuned 
Hopefully, I'll get them done by Christmas lol XD Bye bye and hope you have a great weekend~! *runs off*

First off, a lot of thanks to everyone who commented on my vector post and my H2O card~! ^^ *bows* I really appreciate it! I might submit an H2O card later on and a new wallpaper (from Clannad), which you can see here (too lazy to submit it now). I made it yesterday and, well, you'll see more details when I submit it here ^^
As for school, it hasn't been too bad up to this point. The new Chemistry teacher -now we have only one "basic" class of Chem/week and the other is an extra, called "Chemistry in Health and Beauty", with a different teacher- is nice and she sent us the course via IM I never expected a Chem teacher to have a messaging program! The Spanish teacher also told us that we're going to have Spanish as the first class, next year, on Monday and Friday. Next year we'll be studying in the morning (around 7:30 a.m.) and I don't wanna start out with Spanish 
Oh well, I suppose it's better than Chem or Physics!
Through some unknown alignment of the planets (and other astrological mumbo-jumbo), me and Nico are now sitting in the front desk! Last year (and the year before) we sat at the third desk and it was great, because we could sleep, laugh and read books without being disturbed by the teachers (when the classes were boring, of course, and not during important subjects). Now we have to pay attention all the time and we can't even yawn without being seen! Not to mention the classroom's small (the smallest in the entire high school, no kidding!) and we're all crowded. I feel like I'm in a box, the room's shaped like a cube! >_<"
Um, what else to say... I have the same Romanian L&L teacher from last year, and the same teacher of English. They're both boring as Hell and I barely manage to stay awake during their classes. How is it that something as interesting as literature becomes so boring when they teach it?! Yesterday, the teacher of English told us that we were to get the "Advanced Gold" course book, instead of the "Proficiency" one. The day before, almost all voted for "Proficiency", but who cares about democracy? -_-" This is because we're going to take the CAE (I forgot what it stands for) in May or June and we need a book. Then she said the classes weren't going to be fun like before, but serious. AS IF they were ever fun >_> After that, she asked us if we were willing to become serious students and then assumed we were, since we looked so serious. Apparently, asleep=serious, 'cause that's how we were ._.
This is getting too long and boring... On the light stuff side, I'm reading "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov now. It's enjoyable and I understand how the main (male) character feels like -that does NOT make me a pedophile -_-" - and I wanna see the movie too! As for more artsy stuff, here are some new avvies I made ^^
OK, so I don't really agree with smoking, but there are people who smoke and I wanted to make something different. No discrimination! (Plus I like the way it turned out).
I'm also working on a new vexel, just because I like to torture myself :3 This is the image I'm working with (hopefully I'll get it done by Christmas -__-"); I chose it because I liked the autumn-y colors :3
Thank you again for visiting and sorry for not being able to keep up with the notifications! They pile up and sometimes I don't have time to check them all >_< Sorry for the long post, you know me: I disappear for a while, then come back with a huge post! *hugs everyone* Hope you have a great week and that school's not too hard on ya!

Yay, it was a record for me this time! And it's the most complex vector I've ever made, so I'm really proud of it <3 This style is called vexelling, from what I've heard, making multiple shades and such. Note: I didn't use any gradients here, it's all shape layers!

Sorry, I just couldn't wait until my next post, so I had to share it Please tell me what you think! *hugs* Oh, I started from this image.

Listening to: James Blunt - 1973 (his only song that I like)
Mood: tired, very upset (see school paragraph), somewhat neutral (see first paragraph)
Hey everyone! Thank you for the kind comments, I'm feeling better now and visited more people ^_^ I've also started a few new projects, but I'm too lazy to take screenshots of all of them and I'll just present this Sailor Neptune image I'm vectoring (just so you know, the original image is bigger; it was over 1 MB so PB resized it -_-). I was reading a wallpaper's description on AP and it mentioned a Sailor Moon site, Dreaming Moon. Of course, I went on a rampage and downloaded 70+ of images I want to vector >_<" There are some pretty ones I haven't seen before and I want to vector them! <3 Needless to say, I won't be vectoring all of them, some will be kept only for avatars and such.
The weather's been weird here, it has been cloudy outside since Friday. The strange thing is that it was fine and a little too warm on Friday, until noon; it the evening, the sky was cloudy and it started raining -_- Now, a sudden drop of 5 degrees isn't pleasant, especially if you're sick (like I am). So now, instead of wearing T-shirts and shorts, I have to wear trousers and jumpers >_> It's not that bad, I'm tired of high temperatures, but it's awkward...
Anyway, school's starting tomorrow! I don't wanna go!! ;_; I wanna stay home and vegetate and watch movies and sleep XD And that shrew of a head teacher mocked us yesterday and told us the timetable. NOO!! And it's pretty nasty too. Sure, we're still studying in the afternoon, so that means no waking up and freezing on the streets at 7 a.m., which is good. But having 4 classes of Computer Science or however it's called in one day is torture! T_T And the last 2 classes on Friday are Physics! *begins to dig her own grave* Keep in mind that when the classes start at 1:30 p.m. (Wednesday and Thursday), I have 6 classes and when they start at 12:30 p.m. (the rest), I have 7 classes. However you put it, I ain't getting off earlier than 7:30 p.m. everyday T_T And I still have 2 classes of Chemistry/week, but at least there'll be only one class of Biology (yuck). And did I mention the 6 classes of Maths/week?! *stabs self repeatedly with butcher's knife*
*sigh* Sorry, but I felt like screaming out loud when I heard about it. Unfortunately, it was 10 p.m., so no scream therapy for me *sulks*
Um, I've also noticed a lot of Vampire Knight works these days, it's really popular now. I read part of the manga but gave up because I couldn't distinguish the male characters o_O They all look the same to me. Oh, and let's not forget Code Geass! I personally like C.C. because she's green-haired (green is <3) and wears a lot of cute outfits. But why do girls love Lelouch so much? I'm not picking on anyone now, I'd honestly like to be told why people are so obsessed over him! And Sasuke.
Oh well, better not end this on a sad note. I made some avatars from some images and I might make a wallpaper soon too:
That's about it, thank you for the visit and comments, I appreciate it ^_^ *hugs* And since school's starting tomorrow, I won't have too much time on my hands, so sorry if I don't comment on everything you post/submit, it's not my fault! *bows* I do hope I'll be able to not fall behind though ^_^ Bye bye and see you next time, hope you're all doing great!

La-dee-dah~! I've been away for quite some time now and missed everyone First, I want to apologize if anyone submitted something and I didn't get to comment on it, the notifications piled up and I couldn't see everything. So I'm kindly asking everyone to provide links to their works in the comments <3<3
Um, where should I start? You know that I'm not exactly a part person, so I didn't do a lot of stuff that's worth mentioning. Lying on the beach and thinking about nothing is what I did most of the time ^^ However, there was one day when some people from the Nestea brand were having a promotion on the beach: they had bottles of tea in large cubes of ice (40x40 cm each), which were placed on top of each other, on 4 levels, to create a bigger cube. On the top level, the bottles were further into the ice but on the others some bottles were sticking out and were easier to remove. Of course, you had to finish the first level to get to the second. The people gave you a tool and you had to chop through the ice. It was fun because my dad is good at this, having worked in the constructions business, so he got 2 bottles ^^
When he came back with the first bottle, he had pierced it on the side so we had to drink from that side or else the tea would pour out. A few old people kept staring at me for an unknown reason (even before I started drinking), so I decided to teach them a lesson. I started sucking the tea out from the neck of the bottle (pun intended), then showed them my teeth (which are quite sharp and; the canines are long and resemble a vampire's). They looked at me with big eyes and looked away fast Yeah, I'm mean.
Anyway, in the first days we all got sunburns and then I caught a cold (which I still have). I hate it when my throat hurts >_< Yesterday I had a temperature but today I felt better, even though my throat still hurts. Not much going on here, I'm planning to order some stuff online, using a friend's bank account (with her permission, of course): a "Clockwork Orange" badge, a Tim Burton badge and a cute T-shirt. We're going to order them tomorrow, after we go to the bank. I can't wait, they'll arrive in 2 weeks' time.
So much for ranting for this post, I'll end it here 'cause there's nothing to say ._. Oh, I just remembered: me and Shadows made a wallie, which you can see below. I saved it to my drafts before so I could show it to her, but deleted it; she submitted it and...here it is! Comments are greatly appreciated ^^ Hope you have a great day, everyone, and thank you for dropping by! <3
