Degree in Comics--WHAT?!!
Sat Nov 21, 2009, 8:16 AM
* Mood: Eager
* Listening to: the keys stick together as i pound on the keyboard
I've been up since 7am, don't ask me why 'cuz i dunno either--it's Saturday DX. A msg to Mo, Cal, and Sandro--dad has my laptop and my phone, so there's no use trying to contact me this weekend; I'm using his computer while mom and dad are out flea-marketing...his keyboard is disgusting...the control key is stuck down from something caught in between the keys and the down arrow key is just stuck...and ther's coffe stains everywhere and ew I'm just gonna stop talking about it.
Anyway, I was in art class yesterday and Kevin and I were going through these books from art colleges. I happened to stumble upon a college I've never heard of--SCAD--Savannah something...ANYWHO I happened to stumble across some photos of people getting their comic on in the section called SEQUENTIAL ARTS. I was like "what?" and actually read the whole section, which most people don't do because they're browsing just to look at pictures or to waste time. I got really excited and started talking to Maria about it and she said "go for it" so I went home and jumped on the computer to "research" (actually, it was around 8 when i finally got on the computer since he took my shite last night right when we got home at 6) what colleges offered it...so far, I've only found SCAD appealing =(
The field of sequential art encompasses graphic novels, comic books, comic strips, children’s books and storyboards for animation and film. Sequential artists combine words and pictures to form entertaining and effective narratives.
That's from the SCAD website.
I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED. I didn't know this existed!! I know I'm gonna major in art, but really? Comics?? What do you guys think? And for those of you in college already--help me! I'm already a junior! >_<

End of a Social Experiment

* Listening to: "Jump on the Fizzy"--Aaron Carter
So back in the summertime one of my best girl friends and I decided to compete against each other for the title of Homecoming Princess this year--a jock against a geek, ya know? I considered it kind of like "well, let's see if a geek can really win against a jock in a high school popularity test"; geek takes all and etc. Well, I won. About 75% of me is like "Okay, now what" and the other 25% is like "holy shit, I'm popular".
ANYWAY--My dad stepped on my laptop, so I can only use HALF OF MY SCREEN =( It's a pain to check mail. My brother was passing by and started cracking up because he found it sad and amusing that I'm using the top half of my screen. I can't minimize my windows because I can't see the bottom of the darned things *dammit Mac*...
Loving my AP Art class still--I'm having some friends come over Saturday to help me take some reference photos; my theme is "nostalgia" so I need some nostalgic moments =3
I'mma go--just updating on my life...like a girl. This was the girliest week of my life XD

Motivation?

* Mood: Regretful
* Listening to: "Slow Me Down"-Emmy Rossum
I'm lacking motivation again. Gotta do my homework, gotta clean my room...but I can't do any of that anymore. Today is kinda iffy right now. I just hope tonight will be better; my friends are having a concert around 7 and maybe I'll get a cupcake from another friend of mine while I'm there. I could use it.
AP Art is fantastic--so fun--I wanna draw all the freakin' time; but of course, I'm lacking motivation even though the stuff we do is fantastic.
Somebody convince me to change things up so my mood will improve =/
I need a new video game to occupy myself--Scribblenauts is amazing; you guys should pick it up sometime.

My Brother is my Subject

* Mood: Tired
* Listening to: "Anthem Part II"-Blink-182
I'm doing an assignment for my AP Art class--i have to fill 4 pages in my sketchbook on an artist relating to my theme("How my childhood affected how I am today"), and since my brother was the main artist in my childhood, I'm using him for my homework =D I don't have a scanner and printer at the moment, and it's due tomorrow, so as we speak he's drawing his signature eye for me in my sketchbook(he'll sign it so that the teacher knows i didn't copy what he did, since i'm doing it on HIS work, not mine).
The first page is a portrait I did of him, and it turned out better than I expected. I'll try to scan it in tomorrow so you guys can see =3
Went to the beach today with Cal, Sandro, Mo, and Michael--very fun. Do you remember Superman ice cream? The multicoloured vanilla ice cream? Sandro got me a cone of it--sooooo good <3 Yay childhood memories.
Ok, back to work!!

PS--Prolly not gonna sleep tonight, since I'm still far from being done with this =( WHY DID I HAVE TO FORGET ABOUT THIS ASSIGNMENT?! DX
Do I have enough tape?
Tue Sep 29, 2009, 9:44 PM
* Mood: Tired
* Listening to: A tutorial on the chain rule (AP Calc)
I have to tape the pages of my sketchbook because I found out in class today that they're perforated(so I had to tape over the lines so that they wouldn't fall out of my book in the future). I have a month to do the Summer project(18 pages in my sketchbook on a theme; mine is my unique 90s childhood). It's fun so far--I'm excited to start the project. I have 4 pages due on an artist related to my theme due Monday and a reference photograph of me relating to my theme due Thursday.
My dad learned how to make okonimiyaki--I'm excited. I took one to Jesus school so that I could eat, since I went from practice, to home for 15minutes, then to Jesus school. I asked the lady if I could eat; she said no, so about 5minutes later I just walked out with my stuff and ate outside...NOBODY GETS BETWEEN ME AND MY FOOD D=<
Happy anniversary-ish Mo and Cal!!! <3 Now if only I had a love live =3
Anyway, back to studying so I can start my AP 2D STUDIO ART homework XD *I'm getting too excited*
I need sleep.
