i make time for. Thus ignoring all homework requirements.
How did I get to be this old and still so shit at things that aren't procrastinating?
Yes, Unfolding has a new layout...

Yippee!!! I got a new phone! My old one gave up the ghost, and I did think about getting the iPhone instead of the iTouch, but you know, I have FUN with my iPod, like, I have it attached to the stereo or whatever, so I don't want the phone and mp3 player combined, whereas, I just want a phone to be a phone- although, when I said that in the store, I think I insulted the girl a little, coz she replied "But this is SO much more than just a phone". Lol.

And *gasps* I went a little crazy and got something not LG for the first time in four years. I think I made the right choice, it's a pretty sleek little number! Omg, and I think the camera in this thing might be considerably better than the camera in my, um, camera. Haha.

Must go read more Sookie Stackhouse now. In case anyone is on the edge of their seat, yes, I've been obsessive compulsive about my reading a whole bunch of books this year... see?

An unlocked post, since I said this already, but I locked it without thinking: yes, I know my website is down. It will be back up. Soon. Or people will die! O.o
( I karate chopped a ninja in my car because I'm NOT crazy! )

I have half a dozen- okay, two, maybe three- half formed art ideas running around in my head.
The question is, how to get them out of my head and onto a canvas/pixels... At the very least, I should be able to pull together something worthy of Line's challenge, I hope... but I wanna art ALL my ideas...

I'm also fond of the idea of sleep. I need to find a way to balance my sleep/art needs better. It might mean becoming unemployed... Hmm. That's a great plan, right?

On the pretending to be productive side, I'm updating/syncing my pc with my mp3 player, ripping all my new cds... basically, pretending like I am responsible mp3 player owner who is deserving of the iPod touch she is probably going to upgrade to soon... but... I SO DON'T NEED IT... aagh. I have a perfectly good mp3 player... really... it's fine. It's just... well, it's not a touch, that's for sure... What's also certain is that when I get paid tomorrow, all my money goes on school fees, so there's no chance I'm getting anything fun any time soon. Well... except some comics tomorrow, but that grand total should not be too hideous. Lol.

And- I never do this, but you always do, so JO:
Happy birthday llywela13 Have a great day!!!

Wow. I have one room with air con, well, two, the two bedrooms, but obviously I'm only in one room at a time...
I've had to rescue a whole bunch of things like body butters and make up, so they don't melt (more) in the bathroom...
On the upside, my eyeliner went on very smoothly... just hope it doesn't melt off... lmao.
DVD watching and book reading, that's been the order of the day...

Mirror mirror
My first manip ever! It's pretty basic, but I did it! Who is it? Well, who else could it be? Most beautiful girl in the world? That could only be Rosalie! I'm especially proud because the stock of the mirror is mine, and two of the textures are mine too, and I'm super happy with how they worked out. Otherwise, images are from Last Beautiful Girl and Shattered, textures are from Shattered and brushes are from Ugly Business... You know, the usual suspects! ♥


The prodigal returns
And... yet another first, my first Supernatural piece ever! It's kinda grungy and boy-like and the quote is from Six Feet Under. Images from PAAP and SCP, brushed from Ugly Business and Fractured Simplicity. I'm not too happy with the quality of John's face, but it wasn't super sharp to begin with, and I just couldn't quite get it right.


I have a new layout going on over here, by the way: vltavska vltavska vltavska, come and check it out. And I have wild plans for a new layout on Unfolding before too long... Just gotta choose a colour scheme...! And decide on a few other vital pieces of information!

Caps, stocks, stocks, lyrics
And this piece was made for the Eyes on Fire challenge on BF- and... Summer features. Surprised? No, I'm not either... Episode: Allison from Palmdale.

Hmm. They are both quite purple. Note to self: new colour sceme next time...

Please let me know if you would like to affiliate, since that section is looking a little bare at the moment, and the friends section is also far from complete!

Okay, so this is a concept I have had in my head for longer than I've had photoshop. And when I got photoshop I had no idea how I could possibly do justice to this concept since I was so in love with it and I couldn't even begin to make prettiness. I hope I've succeeded now. See, I've always kind of wondered about how Faith might view Dawn, considering she wasn't always Buffy's sister, and wondered if Faith had ever wished that Dawn were her sister and whether having Dawn in her life would have made a big difference to the problems Dawn had.

Jan: Melbourne is sweltering beyond belief: so far this morning it got to 30c at 8.30am, and is now 37c, at 11.30am. Crap. I remember that. Hopefully my new place is better able to keep cool.

Feb: It's a sunshiney day, I'm home alone- couldn't be better.

Mar: If I'm not here... it's coz I'm reading Twilight... Mwah ha ha. How many times have I read it now? Oh dear. I need help.

Apr: Two potential housefires in a day... that's bad, right?! Oops. I remember that. And then the oven was broken for ages. Lol.

May: If I was a vampire who didn't need to sleep... I would get so much more done. Possibly I would just write more memes? Meh. Hard to say.

Jun: I'm free! I submitted my last assignment last night. That's me done for the semester- woohoo! OHYes!

Jul: After much squashing into little Tiger airways seats, I'm home again. Hmmph. Holidays are better.

Aug: I made a new little banner set...

Sep: Seems like moving takes more time/money/patience than I expected. Most of all time.

Oct: Warning: rant. Some anger. Grr.

Nov: I'm at a bit of a loss for knowing what to do... the movie premiers in November for some of you, officially in December for me. Do I wait? Well, I didn't wait! Blurry, brown and photoshop!phil! Hurrah

Dec: Closer and closer... to the day I have my website. YES!

There's some kind of safety in watching a series that has already finished. For me, anyways. My whole fandom/obsessive thing started with Buffy and when I started watching, I think it was about six months since Chosen had aired- so I always knew there was an end in sight.

And to be honest, I kind of wonder if part of the hatey hate for season seven is that it's the last season- a kind of anger at the show for ending? I could be wrong, just talking crap. But I wonder.

Off the top of my head, I watched Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Tru Calling, Gilmore Girls and Six Feet Under in their entirety after they had finished. Of all of those, Six Feet Under's finale was probably the easiest to watch- it was just so fitting. For the record, my Buffy obsession was taking place while Angel was still airing, but I didn't have a TV or internet at that time. (Me without internet? Seriously? I have no idea how I managed that.)

And now I am watching Bones. Sigh. SO much more attached than I thought I would be, and now I am getting close to being up to date- up to 4.03- and my OTP have broken up and I don't know what to do! Of all the pairings on any show I have ever seen, this is my favourite, and from the spoilers I've read so far, I don't think I'm going to cope really well with the upcoming episodes.
