Update on my life:

My scanner is dead, thus a pause in art. Still have 6 free sketches to give away! The weather is getting better!! xD I'M BUYING MYSELF A WII!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGHHH!!!! xD and...I am totally obsessed with Billy Elliot, (the musical) so much it should be illigal. I went to see it with my family. Bloody legendary!!! =D My favorite character is DEFS Micheal. He. Is. The. Best. (anyone know the story? if so...how sweet was billy?! ...aww) Spent a day with :iconchocolate-kiosk: the otherday- anime and caremelldansen MANIA. twas awesome. I've been seeing alot of people recently- It's grand. I miss one of my friends a heap though (who's in new zealand)..She better come back soon! >.< bah.... Also my apartment is a mess. I need to clean. NOW.

in other news, this is the best quiz ever. I tag everyone. [stolen from facebook]

[25 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME]

1. I love eating crackers =D However, I give them up every lent, because otherwise I turn into a ball of lard.

2. My favorite drink is Ginger Beer, however I also love all kinds of fruit juice, and creamy soda.

3. I've never drank a full energy drink. I had a sip once, went hyper for two hours then fell asleep where I was standing. Never again.

4. I've never had a television. ever. just a screen.

5. The first time I read Lord of the Rings (my favorite book) was when I was in year 5, or 10 years old. It took me three months.

6. I'm one of 5 siblings. the youngest apart from me is 14 years older than me, and the oldest 26 years older than me. 3 of them are girls, and all of them are supposed 'half siblings'.

7. I'm an Aunty 6 times over, with my eldest nephew being born when I was 1 and 3/4. And I will ALWAYS hold that over him.

8. The Sheldrake family pasta speciality is Veal Tortilini. With no sauce. Just three vegi on the side. it tastes gooood

9. The first country I ever visited was Japan. I was 8 months old at the time. Including Japan, I have now visited 23 or more countries.

10. I once spent 4 hours in a Borders in New York reading. My parents thought I was lost...I had never been happier.

11. I love musicals(watching them, listening, singing them!), however, when I was a kid, Les Mis totally boggled me, and singing and choir was just something I HAD to do. And when I was in New York I blew off the oppourtunity to see Wicked. With Idina Menzel. What an idiot.

12. Whilst I have zero coordination, when I was little, I did ballet. Why did I quit? Not because I was bad- I loved the dancing part, but because I hated the makeup.

13. When I was in Junior School, I had an obsession with tallying things. The amount of times I vomited over those years was my most infamous tally. I still remember. 43 times.

14. I once found a moth in my fridge. Post killing it and cleaning up...I ate something from the fridge. Hey...everything was covered with gladwrap! That's safe...right?

15. I made a bet with my parents when I first liked pokemon, that I'd still like it in 10 years. Needless to say, I won.

16. My first Senior school casual clothes day was highlighted by bright pink pants. I wore them with pride, and have never been so brave since.

17. My most loved soft toy (imaginatively called "Blue Bear") is exactly as old as me. He is also better traveled, as when I once left him in America, he went all over the world on his return.

18. My first ever anime was sailor moon, in some chinese hospital when I was three. After watching it with some vague interest, I forgot all about anime...for the time being. (It was the episode where reeni was stranded on an island with dinosaurs or something...I dunno, never got into sailor moon)

19. Without doubt, the best breakfast food is a cooked breakfast. With bagels from glicks. Don't try to argue.

20. I went to circus school for 4 years. My speciality was tightrope and clowning.

21. I've played Cello since half way through year 2. I chose it after discovering I made I violin sound like a dying cat. It wasn't until years later I realised all starter violinists sound like that.

22. My biggest role in a school play (argueably) was in year 5. I played Frilly, a glorified fish/narrator in Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. My hat had the biggest google eye in existance stuck to it. It was as big as my head. Which is pretty damn big.

23. In Junior School, I was the oldest and only left handed member of the tennis team. After three years of hanging around year 3's, I quit tennis in Senior School.

24. The best memory I have is the afternoon I got Social Justice in Year 11. I have never been hugged so much in my life.

25. I own over 2,000 books. Unfortunately, the majority won't fit in my apartment. Incidently, most of my 250ish manga books live with me, which says alot. My anime triples my amount of regular movies too...

I requested one from :iconchocolate-kiosk: so I'll do some too. =D I need some kind of in doors activity in the heat right now. 43 degrees C is NOT good. I spent my day wandering the city with some friends, with me wearing my pajama shorts. >.> I'm cool. but it helped. And it was boiling on my uni regestration/info day too. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I are pile of goop.

"The first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a sketch (or something!), free. However, in return, you must offer 10 free sketches in your own journal."

a/n: well you dont have to put this in your own journal if you don't want. ALSO if what you request isnt something glaringly obvious such as 'i want Naruto from Naruto' or something, references would be much appreciated. Especially if it's an OC. =D

In other news...The heatwave right now is ridiculous. I am sooo soooo dead. I've been moaning about it all week, (and its only getting worse for the next week. AGH) and
probably annoying people on msn alot...sorry if this effects you- heat makes me grumpy.

I've been totally obsessing over old Weird Al music recently (Horoscope for Today- xD ...jnr school. oh man.) and quoting it to people who have no idea what i'm on about. Also, my more recent love, Flight of the Conchords have filled me with amusement ("it's just going to turn into this ridiculous russian doll situation") and have caused me to quote rambunctiously. Do you know this band/tv show? their live shows are awesome- youtube "jenny - flight of the conchords"- its legendary.

what was i talking about...? oh yeah. the whole pajama shorts thing (see above) caused me a minor drama earlier, as i miss-spelt and made it appear as if my friends were 'in my shorts' unintentionally. on that freaky stalker-eque facebook community notice board. >.< I am a douche bag.

on australia day (and chinese new year- actually, i have a funny story about that...for another day- this journal is too long) i hit the traditional bbq. =D which was pretty ledge. and proved to myself that i am not actually that bad in situations with alot of people i don't know/don't talk to often. (fyi, not a family thing) - Its my pet fear. but only at certain events. weird.

anwhom, I shall conclude this ramble-y journal (aren't they all like that?!)
take care =]

well now, I am most definately NOT appriciating the weather in Australia at the moment. I've been going to the moonlight cinima alot recently, so heat at all is a major downer.
Since re-starting here on da, I've been doing alot more doodling- Its fun! My anime style drawings still leave much to be desired (haha) but I am having alot of fun mucking around with a variety of styles. (check out my webcam?) I've been having alot of fun with realistic drawings in particular. however, I never have the nerve to actually finish a drawing..for example, I was doodling on my tablet...(kinda remaking this ->one-duck.deviantart.com/art/Ya…) but got lazy and stopped..
its this -->s13.photobucket.com/albums/a25…
obviously its anime-ish

In other news...I need a job! Its getting insane. But the heat means I am being very lazy. About eeeeverything. I think its a product of living alone too. *shrugs* I used my washingmachine for the first time today (it was my birthday present!! eek) which was...interesting. thinking about washing just makes me think i should clean!! (and i reaaaally should)

Anywhom, I've watched quite alot of films recently, most recently Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, which was really cute. Micheal Cera (is that how you spell it?) is really awkward, it's adorable. I'd probably get sick of it though, which is why I only what his films every now and then. I looooved Juno...But that was probably because of Ellen Page- what a legend. (she's done soo many great- and diverse films!) Other films I've seen recently..hmm..Bride Wars (eughhhh...last time my friends get to pick the movie..), The Curious Case of Benjiman Button, which was good, but a tad too long I think (what's her face, the lead girl...i should know her name..looked beautiful. it was very..."envyyyyyyy". So not fair), umm... Marley and Me, which was surprisingly sad! I thought it would be lame...I've seen Twilight, of course, and it was alot better than I expected (just like the book), although the lame humour and some of the lines really got to me (and made me laugh...even when I wasn't supposed to). I have new respect for the fangirls taste- although- don't kill me, edward isn't THAT good looking. Caslile (is that how you spell it?) Alice and Emmett really suited their roles though, at least in my opinion. Oh! And I saw Bolt! it was...eh. meh.

Can't wait to see 17 again...I'm not a fan of Zac Efron, but it looks funny. I have a weakness for that kind of film. I'll probably see the infamous Hannah Montana movie with a younger niece or summat, just as I took one to hsm3...help me....
Thinking of fangirls (nice jump ey?) I can't believe the Harry Potter movie was delayed until June/July! DAMN WB. I can't wait to see it. despite the high likelihood of the story's distruction.

I should stop this journal now..it's turning into a ramble.
to see what art I'm upto, check out my webcam on my profile! Ciao

Hi there!
My my, it has been quite a while.
I've missed da, but for the last (almost) 2 years, [YEEESH] I've dedicated myself to doing well in my last two years of school. However, that part of my life is well and truely over now, so, much to panda-mist's joy I'm sure, I'm back!
I had in excess of 4,000 messages, so I've deleted them all O___O and started afresh. Today I'll upload a new deviation too.
My year(s) have been pretty intense, and I've changed quite alot since back in June 07, when I last came on da. I've not been drawing as much, read more, found heaps more love in music, appriciated to a whole new level performing arts, and perhaps most importantly, expanded the time with my dear friends (and the range of those kids as well). I've even moved out of home now!

But who cares about all that!
I'm so glad to be back. I've missed my da family *sniff* and can't wait to see how everyone's going.

and yes...I really am back this time. =P
