Aquaria-Identity-07

Hey hey!

What with my new creative mood and wanting to improve my Photoshop skills further, I am officially open to doing requests! Note me if interested, and what you want me to do (don't forget character details!!). Of course, I won't guarantee getting these pics uploaded too soon.

So, again, if interested, note me!

Happy New Year, everyone!

It's pretty self-explanatory, this lil' entry of mine (read the title).

I'm coming back to deviantART, and why? I miss it here!!!! Mind you, you must think it pretty silly of me to come back after a long time despite the fact that my new school term starts on MONDAY, but eh, what the heck.

School has been hectic, though: a helluva lot of work, despite the fact I have seven subjects overall (English, Afrikaans and Religious Education/Life Orientation is compulsory, I chose Maths over Maths Literacy and I have chosen History, Life Sciences (a fancy title for Biology, but it's branded into my brain) and Dramatic Arts (again, another fancy title, for Drama)). I mean, being absent for ONE day equals a LOT of work to catch up on. I even have an English essay to write for the 13th of April.

I have a few new obsessions: To Kill a Mockingbird (the book, ladies and gents, the BOOK) and The Real Ghostbusters are amongst them. Also I have been watching Nickelodeon a lot recently: I love The Penguins of Madagascar and Fanboy & Chum Chum, and - after rediscovering my childhood - I've started to watch The Fairly OddParents again. Good times!

Unfortunately, I'm not into Ben 10 as much anymore, and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien is not really grabbing me. Not watching Cartoon Network as much, either, 'cept maybe Ed Edd 'n Eddy and Hero 108, and, once in a while, watching Courage the Cowardly Dog (another obsession of mine).

So ... yup, that's about it really. Oh yes, I want to change my avatar. BADLY.

I'll be back, promise! :3

Love y'all lots like jellytots!

PS. I hate the fact that the time in this journal entry is totally wrong. It is NOT early in the morning, it is nearly three in the afternoon here, and it is boiling hot (that's why I'm so tired). I realise the time is in American time or something, but really, when will these people adjust timezones?!!?

It's official: it's been ONE year and a week since my last journal entry. Pathetic.

First off, I wanna say that I missed you guys a lot, and love the artwork that you put up!! If you didn't know, I've been secretly logging in once in a while to check them out, but I fail (and I mean FAIL) to comment or fave on them - and I've never even bothered to reply or chat to you guys. At all. My inbox is full of messages, but I'm afraid I'll never be able to get through them at all, so I'm afraid I'll have to delete them. Sorry guys.

Like I said earlier, it's been a year since I've been OFFICIALLY on here ('cept for one or two pics). The World Cup here in SA, my interests in the Jack the Ripper murders - - and a blatant obsession with Charlie the Unicorn. . I've been drawing around, trying to improve my style and stuff, but I never get really far.

Speaking of my pics, I've been looking at some of my early works, and frankly I'm not very pleased with them. Looking at them, I think, "I draw like THAT? Eeeew!!!" I've decided that I'm going to take them down from deviantART, because I feel they are not good enough. I'm considering the decision to clean out my whole gallery altogether.

That, or I may just leave deviantART for good.

It's not that I don't like deviantART: I love it a lot, but I feel that I don't have enough time for it, and that I prefer drawing in my spare time, and not go through the process of scanning and colouring and putting up the finished products. Okay, I like doing that, but you know what I mean.

I've just been doing exams at school, and I finish my school year next week:  next year I hope to work even harder with the subjects I've chosen (History, Life Sciences, Dramatic Arts and Maths, along with regular subjects), and concentrate on my writing. Some of you may not know that I love writing, and that drawing is my second passion. I hope to become a writer when I'm older, and I need to work hard in order to do so. Fanfics are nice and all, and I adore them to pieces, but I'm preparing to move away from fanfiction to create something of my own. Just because I'm saying this, doesn't mean you mustn't stop what you're doing. It's just a thing of mine.

I sit here writing all of this, not because I have to, but because I want to. I know it's a bit sudden and all, and this isn't what you'd expect from a girl who likes to "Cookie Boogie" - especially after all this time.

It's saddening that I only logged on to say all of this, and I only hope you guys understand. I mean this not in a bad way, and if I offended you, I'm really, really sorry. You guys don't know how much fun I had on here, and how much of your art I enjoyed.

Hence, on that note, may I remind you again that I have yet to make the decision of whether or not I'm going to leave deviantART, and there's a possibility of leaving this account to create another. My gallery is gonna be emptied out, and who knows when I'll upload another pic.

Keeping you guys forever in my heart and prayers, and thanking you for taking the time to read all of this,

PS. This is not, by any means, a suicide note. If you thought that, somewhere inside of me I'm laughing like a Mad Hatter, and very sorry indeed.
