Back! I hope

Ok ok. I know it's been a while, but I've been busy. I've recently changed schools and and I get TONS more homework here than at Pimmy :(

Plus I've been lagged with my artwork. But I've also improved! Hopefully I'll get off my bum and post some stuff...eventually...after homework...and assignments...and youtubing...AND TOKIO HOTEL!!!!! :D Lol joking...but they are an awesome band ;) No stealing the Kaulitz's, mine. >)

Aside from that everything's normal...boring, stressful, tiring...and AGONISING! I'm such a klutz and with three HPE lessons a week (more than two I was used to) I hurt myself alot. Even not in sport. Last Thursday I tripped UNDER the stairs and skinned both my knees as well as hurting my shoulder which I couldn't move for the whole weekend!

I'm hoping to get my current assignment done before I do any major posting, and I'll hopefully update my layout/banner/avvie soonish. Maybz some Bumblebee love...Who knows ;)

How weird...YET COOL!

Okay...this is probably one of the more boring posts...but meh, who really cares?

Anyway, I was doing my usual thing; browsing the 'net while trying to decide on a new desktop wallpaper, when my mum came in and said that nana was on the phone...and she wanted me. My first thought were 'Oh dear...what did I do? Did I accidentally send them an email I was meant to send one of my friends? Did I do something else??? Oh crap!'

I shouldn't have worried though. It turned out she wanted to tell my how cool my blog was! And I only thought my besties read my blog...How did she even find out about it???? I don't know...

It was really cool though. Apparently she was 'very impressed' with it, my art, the layout, banners, everything really...even the way I wrote the entries! That's just weird...yet so cool.

It's actually slightly freaky....

ps: when I say 'I'll update tomorrow' I usually mean 'I'll update whenever I actually remember. Haha! I'm such a lazy butt.

pps: will hope to post some new stuff this month though, no promises.

New Layout!!! Yay!!!

I've finally updated my layout to something a little snazzy. I found the background on Photobucket. I just thought it looked better than the other one I had found, plus I actually made this one! Yay!

Have lots of things to blog about but will have to stop. So I'll post some more stuff tomorrow. BAI!

Palleranda Excursion:: Part 1

Last YEAR on a Thursday a few weeks into the last term, my Social Science class teamed up with Class J and visited the historical site of Cape Palleranda, just north of Townsville. It was a pretty exhilarating, lots of walking in the hot North Queensland sun, lots of sitting on hot concrete and taking notes in the sun, and of course; lots more walking.

We went there to visit the quarantine station. It was originally built on Magnetic Island but they transferred it to Cape Palleranda in the early 1900's. During World War II the quarantine station served as a base for the troops that were sent to watch out for the Japanese. Of course the command post and the smaller one lower on the mountain were only made to spot incoming ships, not planes. There were no sightings but Townsville was bombed twice. Both times the Japanese missed and the bombs landed in the water, but some landed in forested areas around Palleranda, at least no one was hurt. Or killed.

It was an overall cool experience, but I suffered from heat exhaustion till we got to play in the ocean. YAY! I've been meaning to post this for ages but I've never gotten around to doing that. I have photos and what not but they STILL aren't developed!!! only the ones my friends took are, and they're just of people. I'll show you these for now and when the others are developed I'll upload them and give you a FULL overview of that weird day. More details in further posts.

So here are just a few photos from our excursion. More will be in later posts ^^;

New Story preview

Okay, just a quickie. I'm currently working on a short fanfic on request of a friend who is a HUUUUUUGE Nick Jonas fan. She wanted me to write a romance story about him and some girl that represented her so I have. It's called 'Just Wait'. I'm quite proud of it actually. I'd really like it if you read it. And if you do, post a review. You don't have to have an account, just type a name and voila! It only has the first chapter uploaded so far, but I'm working on it. Most of it has been already written. And yeah, I made the banner. It's the best I've ever done. YAYZ!

Here's the summary...

"When you're a teenager, you have a lot of expectations for where your life is headed, and what will happen. Some things come unexpectedly. Carmen Russo never expected that the scrawny, curly-headed boy that she met when she was thirteen would become one of the world's most famous popstars, though she had a hunch. She never expected to see him again after their short encounter, though she always hoped.

But she always kept her eye on her estranged friend from her cosy home in Oxford. Then when she finally gets to see him again, she never expected what was to come.

She never expected to fall for him."

Please read it and tell me what you think!!!

School is Finally OVER

Today is OFFICIALLY the end of school year, and therefore the start of the summer/Christmas holidays!!!! YAYZ!!! I was starting to think it would never end!!!

Anyway, I have a few things planned for the holidays...mainly sitting in front of the computer and practising my graphics stuff...but tomorrow I will be shopping and seeing Twilight the movie!!!! YAY! Then sometime soon I'll be seeing Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. But the rest...meh...

I am now teaching myself to play the Piano and am starting with Paramore's Decode. Yeah...big leap eh? But I want to try it, and it'll be fun C:. Of course...I only play by ear.

I finally got my act together and fiddled with graphics for a banner. I think I did well for a first try. It's based off the style of a wallpaper I made a few days ago (which I will upload in my art dump post)

Will be posting more later. But right now I have to go...Au Revouir!

CELEBRATING THE NEW SERIES OF SJA!!!!!!

Characters in order: Sarah Jane Smith, Clyde langer, Maria Jackson and Luke Smith.

Yeah I've seen the first two episodes. We actually a British friend taped them and sent them to me, but I've seen them.

I saw the first series earlier this year and loved it and I've been wanting to do some 'proper' fanart for a while so I drew the main characters from SJA. BUT MARIA MOVES TO AMERICA!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!! That ruined my chances for her and Luke to get together...but it came close!!! He so likes her...

While I was 'away' from Sheezy I was practising my digital colouring skils and I think (THINK) I'm starting to get where I want to be. Although I only learnt how to do the hair like this today...

I really messed up Clyde. He was meant to be saying 'SONTAR...HA!' like he did in EP 2 but I forgot to add the text... silly me. Also there are spots of grey in the background...shite...

and YES Luke does NOT have a belly button"

New word for the day: Fixated, another way of saying obsessed.
