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*

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.

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!

The reason I'm not posting a lot about myself is that nothing much happens. i watch movies, go out with friends and work in PS ._. Not a very exciting life. Last stuff I watched were: Shutter (2004), The Descent and an episode of Lost. This is probably going to sound strange, but I laughed all the time throughout Shutter. It's your typical Asian horror flick, where a guy is haunted by the ghost of the girl. You've seen it all if you've seen The Grudge or The Ring. I've honestly had enough of ghost girls and such, I won't be watching an Asian horror film for a looong time ._.
Alas, a complaint paragraph had to exist, right? Sometimes I feel that some of the works on Minitokyo don't really deserve the...hype they get. Like some vectors getting into the Elite Gallery... I won't name anyone, but let's say that if I made one of the vectors that is currently in the EG, I bet it wouldn't get there. I work hard on my vectors and sometimes it's just unfair to see them ignored... I don't have connections around that place, like others do, so I try to rely only on my skills. It's just that most of the time people prefer to view the works of popular people.
Anyway, let's end this post on a cheerful note :) I made another vector! This time it's a screenshot and it didn't take too long, but it was in my Projects folder and I'm glad I finished it! I have a lot of screenshots on the line and a lot of pics from Let's Make Forbidden Love, this manga I've started reading yesterday :3

I'm currently lacking subjects to discuss in my Creative Paradox, so I'd appreciate it if you can give me tips ^^ I was thinking of writing reviews of anime series I've seen and posting them there, how does that sound?
And one more question before I go: if you could/wanted to write a book/story, what would you write about?
My answer: tee hee, it'd probably be an adventure novel ^^ I've tried to write it (wrote 3 chapters), but I'm not too good at illustrating emotions via writing. Maybe I'll be a film director! *daydreams*
Well, that's it. Stay tuned for more from me! (lol) Thank you, everyone who comes by and leaves a comment, it means a lot to me!

This is kind of a replacement for the post that'll be missing next week, since I'm going on a trip to the mountains for a couple of days. Just thought I'd let everyone know, in case someone worries or wonders why I've suddenly died I hope to come back soon and have more fan art up! I've drawn some more pics from W.I.T.C.H. ut I'm too lazy to scan them and piece them together (they're A3 size) But here is the new stuff:

Wallpaper: When hope is all that's left... Maybe some will wonder what's wrong with me, making it so empty, but I wanted to try a minimalistic approach and my desktop wanted something simple ^_^"
Gosh, I want the ability to post more images in one post Anyway, 2 days ago I finally watched Fight Club and El Orfanato (The Orphanage). EO is in Spanish and we had no subs, and I spent half the film trying to figure out what they were saying (darn it, why do Spanish people speak so fast?!) I got a mild headache after that, and FC didn't help either. I liked it but the ending took me completely by surprise. It's like they grabbed it and shoved it in my face o_O It was a good film, nonetheless.
That's it, my short post is over ^^ Thanks for putting up with my randomness each and every post! By the way, I changed my theme, how does it look? *desperately wants to be able to customize skins more* Hope you have a great weekend, everyone! *hugs*
