Tales from the Apartment

yo! i totally haven't blogged in like, forever! so heres to random blog posting! yaaaaay!

anyway, so here's whats been going on in my life recently... um.... hang on... i'll think of something -- OMIGOSHIMGONNAFRIKKENCRY!!!! lets try that again... oh my gosh i am so gonna frikken cry!!!! our LAST competition is in TWO WEEKS!!! seriously!! The Devil Ray season will END in TWO WEEKS!! i really am gonna cry... cheering means so much to me! and Dallas is the last (and biggest) competition of the season. which is why Natalie (my coach) is going to be extra strict at practices... and also why i couldn't go on the band trip.

Liv, Latte, i am so sorry. please believe me. i wanted to go so badly, but i just couldn't do that to the squad. going would have meant missing five practices. we can't afford to have ANYONE missing practices. im so sorry. you HAVE to tell me EVERY detail, ok? i want to here EVERYTHING!

anyway, i've also been working on a frikken annoying picture all break! never, NEVER, has a picture annoyed me as much as this one! dead serious! this is the first time that i'm really doing this detailed of a background in photoshop from scratch. not smart. and weirdest part is, the bag of FLOUR was the most evil. don't ask, you'll understand when i post it. which will be soon, probably tonight or tomorrow morning. (victory dance) cause i don't have school all week, i don't have shcool all week, aw yeah, aw yeah, uh huh, uh huh... i love winter break!!

and my gosh! drawing is actually HURTING my back! seriously! ok, some of yall may not get this, but you totally would livi! ok, so when i'm drawing on the wacom, i'm usually sitting on the floor cross legged with the tablet in my lap. well, that means i'm hunched over. which gets seriously painful when you draw for hours at a time! yes, this picture has taken me over... five days. FIVE DAYS!! that's RIDICULOUS! NEVER have i wanted to just get a picture OVER WITH!! which kinda makes me sad, but it's true! the only reason i HAVEN'T just given up on it, is beacuse i would hate myself for life. not really. i'm just really OCD. oh! and Livi! i SO know what i'm doing for my word prompt! it's not a comic or anything, it's just a picture, but you'll LIKE it! have you started "Mushroom" yet?

for those who don't know, me and livi have this "word prompt" thing. she'll give me ONE word (ex, "duck" or "lamp") and it's my job to some how incorporate the word into either a oneshot (fic or comic) or just a picture. most of them end up as comics oneshots.

hm.... i should post some of mine....

anyway, it's a really good way to break Artist/Authors block! you should try it sometime! just hook up with a buddy or something!

anyway, that concludes my seriously convoluted rambling!

-D

oh! and Latte and Allyson: don't go hatin' on Tyler! he's mah buddy!

yes... i exist... i know, i'm probably behind on like... everything at the moment... i'm sorry!  i'm going through one of my "lets procrastinate life" phases... yes. as annoying as heck. don't worry though, it'll pass.

anyway, in recent news, we placed first at out last competition! YAY!! Go D - RAYS!! the freaky part though, is that we one by .01 points. seriously. OMIGOSH CLOE IS ADORABLE!!!! sorry... just thought i should say that.... we have our next competition this weekend in Atlanta. yaaaaaay. big city traffic.

i also updated the sketchbook! so there's a site-related update!

and seriously people, don't worry, this whole thing WILL pass!!

it doesn't help that i've been getting depressed over Tsubasa a ton lately...

Tsubasa: Reseviour Chronicles is a manga that me and my sister read religiously. I LOVE it. the only problem though, is that the past four volumes have all been epic and seriously depressing for my favourite character. the series is AMAZING though!! it's just that my fav character has a huge "Kill me!" sign nailed to his forehead. you can ask Livi or Ninja. i've been randomly getting depressed over it for the past month or so.

anyway, that's all for now!

-D

Okie day, i didn't want to start a new blog entry because of the insanity me and liv got going on this one, but i have to ask a favour of you guys! I've recently gotten inspiration to do a big group picture of all the weebly users in our little weebly circle, but i need physical descriptions! don't give me your age or you weight if you don't want to, i completely understand. But i do need the basics: height, hair colour, eye colour, skin tone, etc. just give me something! and if you're like me, and would rather use some type of funky-mess critter, feel free! drawing animals and anthros are WAY more fun to do than people! plus you wouldn't have to give me your actual physical description. If you just wanna be normal, that's awesome too!

Just leave it as a comment! i will greatly appreciate it from the bottom of my crazy heart!

OMIGOSHSQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

WE GOT FIRST PLACE!!!!

YAY!

i am so in love with Devil Rays!! it makes me HAPPY!! sigh... love! anyway, so, we went to the JAMfest competition up in Gattlenburg, and totally placed FIRST! My squad got first place, a long with the Senior squad! the Mini's placed fourth, but that was pretty good! they had a lot of people in their division.

I don't have a lot of time right now (when do i ever?) but i really wanted to tell you peoples that!

I LOVE DEVIL RAYS!!

Ok, for those who don't know, Devil Rays is the gym i cheer for outside my school. it's competitive cheering (aka, the cheerleading thats ACTUALLY a sport) and i love it! it absolutely EATS my life, but that's ok!

and we're going to our FIRST competition for this season ON SATURDAY!!!! SQUEEEE!! I'll be leaving for Gattlenburg, TN Friday after school, so this will probably be the last time that i'll be able to update my site this weekend.

I AM SO EXCITED!

we had a dress rehearsal today, as in, we showed up in a our entire uniforms and ran our routine full out. we did awesome! i just hope that we can do our absolute BEST at the competition on Saturday!

Below i have two random pictures of some of my friends from the squad posted! I'm in the bottom one with Leah! I'm the girl with the straight blond hair. I have NO idea why that one decided to be blurry.

anyway, if you happen to to live in Gattlenburg, come see the competition! we're Devil Rays, Junior Lv 2, Watermelon. Yes, all the teams this year have a fruit theme. don't ask me why.

see ya! i'll try an post our results by Sunday!
