Hey everyone!

Sorry, no art for now. Last week I bought myself a new musical instrument (as if I don't have enough of those already ). It's a ukulele!

It's a concert size Oscar Schmidt (the OU5). Beauty, isn't she?
aside: Hey, Jason Castro from American Idol also plays a OU5! Bummer he had to leave last week.

So every spare minute of the day goes into playing my uke. ^^ And when I don't have time.. I make time! Yea, I'm a bad girl. I have exams in two weeks and essays for Writing and Philosophy and I'm a slooooow essay writer so I should be working right now but I don't want to because the sun is shining (in the Netherlands!) and I wanna play the uke and have summer holidays and.. Anything but work!

I hope to continue my Queen Amidala fanart again soon. I'm sure it'll be great! And a lot of work. But fun work, right? ^^ If only I could put down my uke for only two seconds...

Enjoy the sun!

Hey all!

Well, seems I got myself a new addiction. Been watching (almost) all Star Wars movies last week, reminding me how much fun it is, so...

Started a drawing of Queen Amidala and had some fun with Darth Vader and Sephiroth. If you wanna know what I'm talking about, take a look at my Gallery.

Need a little break from all this work I got from school. I follow this extra course to improve my Dutch, but this means extra homework thus extra stress. Or am I the only one who stresses out when I have an essay to write? I know I shouldn't.. It's just damn hard to get a thesis statement specific enough for a 1000 words essay! ><

Well, back to work.

All you need is LOVE!

UPDATE

Seems Sephiroth vs Darth Vader is pretty popular. WOOT! I'm not the only addict! xD

Well, here I am!

School finally permits me some time off. Had four exams last week, and I think I did pretty well. Now let's hope my teachers think the same.

As you can see I wrote a little.. something today. Had to prove someone I can. *hmpf* Have a look and leave a comment. I'm curious how others interpret that little narrative.

That's all for today.

Love,

Just a little update.

I got a Valentine's Card after all! w00t! ^^ And I know who it was from so I'm gonna give him an extra big hug Friday.

At the moment I'm extremely busy with school. Well, I'm used to worse (back in my Japanese days) but it doesn't give me much time to draw. Kind of makes me depressed (what doesn't?), as well as the fact that I don't really know what to draw or write. Just seem to get lucky from time to time instead of being able to put something decent down on paper.

Today I really felt like Hermione. The whole class wouldn't answer any question unless they were asked directly. Our teacher even asked "Is it boring? Or too difficult?" so something wasn't as it should've been there. As a result, it was me and 2 others who would answer all of the questions. Afterwards I heared "I didn't raise my hand because I couldn't be arsed to answer the questions, even though I knew the answers." but when they did get asked, they didn't know. Just raise these damn hands when you know the answer and don't make me feel like an insufferable know-it-all next time! >< Or just admit you're a bad student.

On a completely different note: got this big canvas from my mom. Any suggestions what to paint on it?

Love,

Hey everyone!

School started again. It sure was a bummer to go back after a long break, and the amount of homework scared me at first. This period's subjects are phonetics, phonolology, writing (spelling etc.) and drama. I still have a bit of trouble understanding the assignments, but I fall asleep in class because it's too easy. What's the logic in that?

What I really wanted to talk about is Valentine's Day. I dread that aweful day! It's my first in years without my (ex)boyfriend. Christmas without him was okay. New Year was kind of tough because it's when we officially started dating.. But Thursday it's Valentine's Day, which is all about love and boyfriends and being together and I'M ALL ALONE! To make it worse: they really promote it this year with heart shaped balloons and chocolates and personal messages to be delivered on your phone and all of that..

I didn't do much drawing since my last Journal Entry. 3 doodles and a unfortunate kitten is all I got on paper. I really had to force myself to try again today. Not that I don't enjoy drawing! Just didn't have the feeling I sould succeed. But I did! Here, look it my new little kitten. ^^

Before I finish I'd like to say welcome back to Raptoe, whom I haven't seen around here for quite some time. I always enjoyed watching her sketches whenever I happened to be in her room. Aaah, these good old days...

Bye bye and see you all next week!
