Happy Summer?

Wed Jun 17, 2009, 5:35 PM
  • Mood: Lazy
  • Listening to: Nuffins.
  • Reading: Nuffins.
  • Watching: Nuffins.
  • Playing: Little Big Planet, Mirrors Edge, and ACCF.
  • Eating: Cocoa rice krispies.
  • Drinking: Water.
No, I'm not really all that into summer. :p I used to look forward to it back in school, but right now, it's just the heated season I both despise, and almost like sometimes. My birthday is coming up in August, and I'll be turning 20. No more childlike shenanigans for me! (Riiiight.)

As for updates, I hope to be able to post a few things soon. I just came up with a new concept, and I wanna have some stuff up as soon as my hand decides that it will allow me to draw. I'm having a bit of a skill crisis at the moment, since eyes and other features don't want to turn out.

I also found another one of those journal quiz things from someone I watch here on DA, so I stole it!

Here we go:

Rules: Answer each question, then tag 4 people if you want to. (I'm not going to tag anyone, just do the quiz if you feel like it!)

LAYER 1: ON THE OUTSIDE.
Name: Samantha
Birth Date: August 7th
Hair Color: Dark red with brownish ick roots showing. (My dirty blonde went away after dying it black a few years back.)
Righty/Lefty: Lefty, bitches! :D

LAYER 2: ON THE INSIDE.
Your fear: Being alone in the dark, being alone for long periods of time, bugs and spiders, dental drills, losing people, etc, etc.
Your dream of the perfect date: I never really thought about it before, but maybe a trip to a nice restaurant(not necessarily expensive)and a walk around a park or visiting a few shops.

LAYER 3: YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW.
Your thoughts first waking up: "Ugh, if I sleep any longer, I won't get anything done today."
Your best physical feature: Uhh.. my eyes?
Your bed time: Normally? One-twoish in the morning.
Your most missed memory: Standing on the back porch of my grandparent's old house and looking just above the fence to see the lights of the 'city', which were just lights around the town and shopping areas, but it did look like a far off view of a city.

LAYER 4: YOUR PICK.
Pepsi or Coke: Pepsi! Though I don't drink soda much anymore.
McDonald's or Burger King: Burger King all the way!
Single or Group Dates: Both, really. Depending on if I wanted the date to be intimate, or just have fun goofing off.
Adidas or Nike: Nike!
Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate. Is there any other choice? I don't think so. :D
Cappuccino or Coffee: I've never had cappuccino before, so I'll say coffee. I used to like it kind of, but I'm afraid to drink it now because of getting a migraine after drinking some Starbucks coffee brownie drink. Not sure if getting a caffeine addiction would be worth it, though.

LAYER 5: DO YOU.
Cuss: Internet, yes. Real life, yes, but I try not to around my parents. I don't curse all the time, just when I feel the situation or conversation needs it. People that curse constantly are a little annoying at times.
Take showers: Yes, showers. :heart: Though baths in big, nice bathtubs are good too.
Have a crush: I don't have a crush, I have a love! :D
Like(d) school: For the most part, it was okay. There were really annoying points, though.
Believe in yourself: I try.
Believe what goes around comes around: Yes, very much so.
Think you're a health freak: Uh.. not really.

LAYER 6: IN THE PAST MONTH.
Gone to the mall: No. I'd go if I could DRIVE!
Been on stage: Nope.
Eaten sushi: Ick, no. I don't really like it. Though, I'm sure I'd be okay if I found some I liked.
Been hurt: Physically? Yes, lots of hang nails. Owwie! T-T Emotionally, a touch.
Dyed your hair: Not in the past month. Maybe I should soon.

LAYER 7: HAVE YOU EVER.
Played a stripping game: o-o No..
Got beaten up: Nuh uh. Unless you're talking about on something like SSBB. Then yes. I've been horribly maimed.
Changed who you were to fit in: I may have at one point to test the waters of different social aspects, but acting like myself is just so much easier.

LAYER 8: GETTING OLD.
Age you're hoping to be married by: I wanna be married by thirty, but it doesn't really matter if it comes a little later or not.
Number of kids you're planning on having: One or two. Preferably girls because I wouldn't know the first thing about raising a little boy!

LAYER 9: IN A GIRL/GUY.
Best eye color: Blue or green.
Best hair color: Any natural colors.
Short or long hair: Depends. Some guys look better with long hair, some look better with short hair.
Fat or fit: Both extreme ends of the spectrum are gross to me. But a strong guy with squish is nice. :heart:
Looks or personality: Both, really. A good looking guy isn't so good looking if he's a jerk. The golden rule is balance! The guy next door could be a complete cow according to one girl, but crazy hot stuff to another. :3

LAYER 10: WHAT WERE YOU DOING.
1 MINUTE AGO: Made a bowl of cocoa rice krispies.
1 HOUR AGO: Watched Hotel for Dogs.
1 WEEK AGO: Can't remember. Probably sat here on the internet.
1 YEAR AGO: Freaked about having a boyfriend for almost a year. :D

LAYER 11: FINISH THE SENTENCE.
I FEEL: Hungry!
I HATE: Tramps!
I HIDE: Under my sheets!
I NEED: To work on doodles.
I LOVE: CHOCOLATE.

What is a food that you'd hate to be allergic to?
Chocolate. I'd hate being allergic to so much, I'd cry.

What color was the last towel you used?
Dusty purple.

Would you prefer to date someone taller, shorter, or the same height as you?
Taller! He gets stuff for me when it's too high up! And he has to bend to kiss me. :D Cuuute~

When was the last time your nose bled?
I don't remember?

How old are you turning this year?
The big 2-0. No more hijinks for me! Until I'm 21. :D

What is your favorite thing to snack on while watching a movie?
M&Ms or snocaps!

Swimming pool or hot tub?
Swimming pool, then hot tub.

What body part do you wash first in the shower?
My hair. Unless that's not a body part. Then my arms.

Who would you allow to read your thoughts for one day?
Uh.. my boyfriend, since he knows a lot of my thoughts anyhow. :p

Name your last reason for using a camera?
Taking a picture of the possum outside the house.

Where was the last place you fell asleep other than your bed?
The couch? Other than that, John's house.

What are you excited about?
Um.. my birthday I guess?

Are you a happy person?
I try to be.

When was the last time you laughed really hard & why?
Last night when there was a phone conversation that was akin to many gold coins.

What are you wearing?
Black pants, black t-shirt.

What do you want?
Chocolate. :D

Did you enjoy your weekend?
Eh, I guess.

Do you regret anything you've done recently?
Yeah. Not staying on my diet like I should. x-x

Is there anybody you wish you could see?
My Johnny. :heart:

How many people of the opposite sex do you fully trust?
Not a whole lot. A select few.

Do you think you’ll be married in 10 years?
I hope so!

What makes you mad most about girls?
Ugh.. so many things. Put me in a crowd and I'll point out the nasties.

Have you ever been given roses?
Yeah, my Dad usually gives my Mom and I some roses for Valentine's Day.

Do you even like getting flowers?
I love getting flowers! I just wish flower delivery services weren't so careless these days. Especially 1800 flowers. They delivered the flowers that my boyfriend ordered for our anniversary/my birthday, and they were DEAD! They sent an identical bouquet out a few days later free of charge though. (1800 Flowers also keeps sending dead flowers or the vase without the flowers to my Grandma, who we send flowers to for her birthday.)

What's your favorite flower?
Everyday flowers, I like violets. Bouquet flowers, I like lilies, roses, and daisies (especially gerbera daisies!).

Will you be in a relationship 4 months from now?
Yes, my current relationship is pretty strong. :)

Does it bother you when your friends bring up your past mistakes?
Depending. If it was funny, then that's fine. If it wasn't, sometimes it bugs me a little.

Could you go out in public looking like you do now?
Sure I could.

Can you be your complete self around the person you like?
Of course I can. If I couldn't, then what would be the point in liking the person? :3

Whose the first person you texted today?
No one today.

Would you move to another state to be with the person you loved?
If it came down to it, I would. :heart:

What are you doing tomorrow?
Probably sitting around on the internet like always.

Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?
Of course I would. There's definitely a few events I'd like to revisit, maybe even alter a little.

Do you think you would make a good wife/husband?
I think so?

What's your favorite kind of ice cream?
Chocolate peanut butter cup.

Do you like summer?
Kinda, kinda not.

Do you fall for people easily?
No, not really.

Have you ever dated someone more than once?
Um.. does being in a full relationship count?

Who have you texted in the last 24 hours?
No one.

Do you have freckles?
Yes! I have them on my face here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Especially when I've been in the sun a bit.

Do you sleep at night?
Yes, and a little of the day. :p
~~~~~~~~~~
Anyhow, I'll catch you guys later.

Toodles!

Back from the Past.

Tue Apr 21, 2009, 6:04 PM
I just got back from visiting John in Illinois on Sunday. I went there for a week and there was much fun! I say back from the past, since Illinois is Central time, which is an hour behind Eastern time, where I live here in Maryland. We went to a few places, an Easter Sunday brunch buffet at a nice place called the Hoffman House, to Mitsuwa, their Asian market which is a lot better than any around here, and to the mall, where I got some Cubs stuff for my parents. It was a nice little vacation, and I had a lot of fun. I'm glad to be back home though. :)

In other news, it seems that my subscription expired. Oh noes! It doesn't really matter much though, since DA took away a lot of the things that made subscriptions worth while and gave the options to everyone. It's nice to have such things as previews of art and journals in your inbox without the subscription, but I really think DA should have added some other things to the website exclusively for subscribers.

I also joined Twitter today. If anyone is interested, you can see what's up with me here: [link] if you follow me, I might just follow you back. I'd like to get to know my watchers more!
~~~~~~~~~~
VU News:

There hasn't been much in the way of Vieo Una lately, at least here on DA. That's mainly because of my laziness, though. I'm gonna try and set up a schedule for posting things, whether they're finished or not.

Toodles!

[x] You remember boom boxes vs. CD players; (I liked CD players better of course.)

[x] Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them; (Every day.)
[x] You played and/or collected Pogs; (Someone I knew gave me a ton of pogs, but I never knew what to do with them!)
[x] You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere you went. (I had TONS. But my favorite one was stolen from me in third grade. The teacher had taken it away because it made a sound in my desk, and Mom came up with me to get it back from her, but it had disappeared.)

You watched the original cartoons of:

[x] Rugrats; (Ten years of awesome. When All Grown Up came out, it just went down hill.)
[x] Wild Thornberrys; (Yes!)
[x] Power Rangers. (I watched Power Rangers, but not a cartoon of it. o.O)

[x] All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand. (EVERYTHING! So much love for Lisa Frank! It went down hill, too, when they added those little diva girls. Lisa Frank was only supposed to be rainbow animals, not people.)

[x] You know the Macarena by heart; (I remember seeing that on Oprah for the first time!)

[x] Back before X-Box period;
[x] Before SpongeBob;
[x] When light up sneakers were cool; (Love!)
[x] When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs; (It was really strange to me when VHS slowly faded away.)
[x] When gas was $0.95 a gallon;
[x] When we recorded stuff on VCR; (It was always a hassle!)
[x] You had slap bracelets; (And remember the recall!)
[x] You actually played outside until it was dark; (Until the street lights came on!)
[x] Way back before we realized all this would eventually disappear;
[x] Post this if you smiled at least more than 5 times;
[x] And if you remember at least half the stuff on here. (Whee!)

I like to be a little nostalgic sometimes. I think I'll look into finding a Lisa Frank folder or two if there's still any around that haven't been destroyed with the new designs that no longer focus on the cute rainbow animals.

Toodles!

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 17, 2009, 1:23 PM



And All That Jazz...


Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone. :) I'm not wearing green at the moment, since the only green shirt I have hasn't been washed yet. Oh well!

I'm part Irish, and always enjoyed this holiday when I was younger, but now that I'm out of high school, but too young to drink, there's not much for me to do! XD My parents don't really get into the holiday for some reason, so it's kind of useless for me to try and get them to do anything until I can actually do something rather than sit here in the house. :p If I could right now, I'd probably be wearing some of those shiny green mardi-gras type beads specifically made for this holiday.

Okay, my boringness aside, I've decided to close commissions. It seems that no one wanted any, which is okay with me. I'm not that professional, and the economy is a little whacked-out at the moment. Maybe I'll try some other time.

ACK! ATTACK OF THE HEARTBURN! WHYYY?!

Toodles!

Commissions

Journal Entry: Mon Feb 23, 2009, 12:24 PM



And All That Jazz...


Hey everyone. I've got an announcement!

I've been thinking of doing commissions for a while, and since I'm planning a trip to Illinois this April, I wanna see if I can get some money coming in. So I'd like to ask if any of you out there would like to buy a commission!

Edit: I have now verified my PayPal account and can receive payment there.

:bulletred:What I won’t/can’t draw:
-Anything sex-related.
-Giant Robots
-Super Muscular Characters (Such as DBZ-esque characters.)
-Backgrounds (I’m just not that great with them.)
-Any fandom I'm not comfortable with drawing. I'll let you know.

I may add more to that list, but I’ll tell you if there’s something I can’t draw.

Anyhow, to the pricing:

Traditional only!

:bulletgreen:Chibi

Example: [link]

:bulletblue:Price: $10-15

What you get: An inked and colored pencil drawing of your character in chibi style. The price depends on how complex the chibi is. For example: a multicolored multi-patterned anthro character will be more expensive than a simply dressed elven character.

:bulletgreen:Normal

:bulletblue:Sketch Price: $15

Example: [link] [link]

:bulletblue:Inked and Colored Price: $20-25

Example: [link]

:bulletblue:Extra Characters: $5

What you get: A sketch or inked and colored drawing of your character. Just like the chibi, the price for an inked and colored pencil drawing depends on the complexity of the character. If you want another character in the drawing, it will cost five dollars for each extra character. This only applies to the normal commission!

Note: Please have a reference. If you don’t have a reference, please describe your character in detail. I can only work with what I’m given, so please don’t expect miracles if I have to take artistic liberties with your character’s outfit/colors/etc.

:bulletred:Please note me if you're interested!:bulletred:
