How did I get landed with the job of organising the Christmas Review? Evidently offering to write the script was not a good move. XD It'll be fun though! We're doing a panto - Cinderella with added jokes and fewer costume changes. Not sure how we're going to film it in one hour, though. Still, lolling at the Cilit bang joke...

Christmas is almost upon us, dear heart, and I feel like talking like a nineteenth century gentleman. No longer, forsooth, for I am steadily going backwards through time. So for Christmas with any luck Santa will be bringing me a graphics tablet, so I can try at least to do some gorgeous artwork  And I can't wait to try! -note to self to buy a book to help- |

Ever feel like people want to be your friend because you have brains and can teach them stuff? I know I have plenty of lovely friends that don't just want that but still, when all certain people say to you is concerned with maths or gloating about art, despite having been really nice in the past it does seem a bit, well odd. Oh well, to be honest I really couldn't care less what she thinks.

It's the uncertainty that hurts the most. The endless raising then dashing of hopes. I think I could capie if I just knew what he thought of me. If it weren't for his girlfriend, who really doesn't seem into the whole relationship thing, I would've thought I had a very good chance. But what can you do? Absolutely nothing.

And on the subject of the previous entry... I'm over him just in time for Valentines! YES! All it took was a friend telling me she thought he knew how I felt from the start... nothing heals like giving someone else the blame XD or feeling like the object of your affections is playing you for a fool...

I really haven't updated this for ages, have I?
Well, art coursework finished, so I'm now working on art exam preparation, and my starting point is art nouveau... It's going to be gorgeous! =D
Also... feeling the need for a decor change... I need to practice using different brushes on my lovely drawing software.

Every time I resolve to update this properly I fail completely :/
Oh well, we now have 2 weeks off for Easter - which means lots of chocolate and revising and art and (if today is anything to go by) SUN!!!! This will probably be our summer - I'm making the most of it XD
And I just bought the most gorgeous book ever (I think anyway!). It finally came in stock on amazon, so it's ordered, and should arrive sometime next week - sometime around wednesday hopefully! Can't actually wait!!!

Book was all I wanted and more XD
EEEK!!! I have a new project! (well, two actually...) Transforming this picture I drew of a rose into a sig, and painting this idea I've had for ages, which is the one I'm really excited about...
It's based on the Lady of Shalott, the moment when she looks out of the window and the curse comes into play. It's slightly pre-raphaelite influenced after our trip to the London galleries, mainly the Tates... aanyway I saw some Millais et al there, and started to like it more than I had in reproductions... the real thing is so much better than the online images! So anyway since the image has started going that way I'm not going to stop it... and stay posted -fingerscrossed- for a new dp.
If it turns out alright (because this is all digital art) I'm thinking about getting a deviant art account...
Oh and I think I'm stressed, but I can't tell because my mind is mainly rational and it's saying that I have plenty of time left. But I'm really emotional suddenly, and tired, and letting my muses' greivances get to me, which I'm putting down to stress. It feels like I have no time left, but looking at my calendar I have a month give or take a week until the main exams, and about a fortnight until the art exam, and the painting is going really well, and I only have 3 double pages to do until I bring in my final concept. And it's gorgeously sunny (I burnt again, teaching a friend maths in her garden) and I'm really happy with my free time (pah! what free time?) projects, so I am happy, honest...

Right, well, the deviant art idea is out since you have to be 18 to get an account. Their loss.
So I was coping fine with the stress. Art went well, as you can see. I got told I was A/B borderline for my overall work when I hung it up for exhibition, here's hoping they'll be generous! Maths mechanics exam went well, and english went well as far as I can tell, but it's so subjective you never can be sure.
But suddenly now, and it's probably due to the two late nights due to working and then watching the Green Mile (so good! so sad in the middle, but it has a gorgeous ending) but I suddenly feel awful. It doesn't help that I went from being so glad english was over to debating some serious problems with myself to finding out I need to complete a medical form for the DVLA so I can get my provisional license in a very short time.
Seriously though! Yes, I have a medical condition. I have heart block, basically where the cells controlling the pace of the bottom part of my heart don't work, but it's completely fixed by my pacemaker! I stand the same chance of collapsing at the wheel as anyone else because, though due to the wire in my heart I am at greater risk of blood clots (though I haven't had one yet, I don't think I'm naturally a high risk person) I can never have a heart attack. It's taken them a month to decide I need to fill in this form and to send it. I haven't got it yet. I have had to cancel my first driving lesson because my provisional won't turn up any time soon. It's not fair!
...I so need an early night.

I wanted to show off my pretty rose... and I couldn't think of any better rose related quotes... any advances on "Love me before the last petal falls" would be greatly welcomed XD it sounds a bit pretentious....

Dear Journal,
I have had multiple attempts at making a diary/journal work but, you see, it never truly does, so I now make a resolution to add to this as near to every day as I can, even if there is nothing to report.
So today was good! Gorgeous weather, watercolours working for once, and the afternoon off. I finished sewing my top, and it's pretty! It also means I'll have more time for writing. Probably should have done some more work but you know how it is! I'm already a good chunk into The Color Purple and loving it, despite the huge plot spoiler from Eli -glares-. Guides was good too, they're getting to be really amazing with my Downs girl, so she's needing less and less supervision every week. Makes me want to hug them all for being so briliant! -yawns- Anyway, I'm exhausted so I must go get some sleep...
