Can anyone tell me how to create a join.me account?
I've been trying to do one but I always fail. ;A;

Drawing is sooooo harrrrd. D:I'm trying to practice drawing frikken humans, but it's so frikken difficult.
I mean, I can draw people... Just not in my standards.
I have high standards. Normally, when other people draw in any skill level, I like it. But when I draw in my skill level, I hate it. It's probably because I'm always trying to go past my skill level into something WAAAAAY higher! That's probably a bad idea. I think I'll improve more if i took it down a notch. I really want to improve! I'm just lazy and lack patience.

I'm practicing right now, but nothing is good enough. I also find it difficult to find reference photos. I prefer deviantart when searching Anatomy because, you know, things are censored.

But when I'm looking for poses, I don't see much. I wish I had some guy friends that would pose for me.

Yeah, I probably should just draw and improve little by little along the way. Yup. I should try to learn the doggy paddle before jumping into that 20-feet deep swimming pool. Tha

UpdateYes, I have returned from the darkness!! Except I wasn't in the darkness.
Although no one has probably wondered where I went, I shall tell. I am not kidding when I say that Criminal Minds (CM) has COMPLETELY taken over my obsessions. I believe it outweighs PoM by many tons. It's easier to obsess over for a couple reasons:
1. It has a lot of episodes
2. It airs on a regular basis (on multiple channels, I might add)
3. It airs new epis on a regular basis
4. If you do not love Reid, you have serious issues. I am proud to be a Reid fangirl!!!
However, my PoM obsession has not died. I am super excited for the new epis (whenever Nick decides to actually AIR them). And I recently struck some gold in PoM merchendise (well, maybe not gold. Silver maybe. Pics later).
Also, PoM has about 2,200 stories, and let's face it, OCs have kind of taken over. CM has over 21,200 stories, and they range in drama to humor to good ol' team/family togetherness. I think that's the best part; the team is so much

The ONLY gay rights point I will EVER make. EVER.Alright, I understand. I get it. North Carolina banned gay marriage. I know.
But, getting hate mail because I have no pro-homosexual rights stufff on my Tumblr, The heck?
I wanted to stay out of this. I didn't want to get mixed up in this debate. Do we honestly think rebloging an article/picture/anything pro-gay rights is going to undo what's done? I'm pretty sure the government doesn't give a damn that you reblogged something.
But, NO. OH-HO NO! People are getting so touchy that I'm getting hate because I don't express my thoughts. I'm not gonna. My opinions on this subject are being kept to myself. I don't think it makes me heartless that I don't want to get mixed up in something that is only going to make me madder. If you people don't mess with my sexual preference, then I won't mess with yours.
We can live happily together that way. If your gay/bisexual/transsexual or whatever, good for you, that's your life. I'll stick to mine.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: I don't care abou

NO TITLE :PSo... my last school dance of the year was yesterday. The only reason I went was because it was the last one. My school dances suck. Here are some reasons:
1. They are right after school, and not at night or anything.
2. They are always very crowded.
3. If I don't want to be alone, I have to stay with my friends, and they move rooms every 30 seconds, it seems.
Basically, you are either in the north gym playing basketball or volleyball, in the hallway enjoying refreshments such as pizza, chips, and bake sale goods, or in the south gym actually dancing. Bottom line, it just wasn't very fun.
Also, there was a police officer there. He was standing in the hallway and watching. It's perfectly normal to see police officers hanging around my school.
Onto a different topic, until last night I hadn't seen my dad in two days. He's been working really long hours this week for some reason. He left me a note Friday morning that said "Good morning, Anna, hope you haven't forgotten what I look like!".

I'm sorry, I just have to share this. XDDDDSo, me and Hunt were having a conversation and we were arguing and it went like this;
Hunt: You are pretty!!! >:U
Me: No I'm not!! >:U
Hunt: Yeah you are!! >:U
Me: No I'm not!! >:U
Hunt: Yeah you are >:U
Me(derp moment): No you're not. >:U
Hunt: Yes I am! >:U
So yeah... Hunt admitted that he's pretty. XDD

Unique Commission Offer: Draw Art, Help Penguins!With 16 Penguins of Madagascar titles currently published on FanFiction.net, I've long been curious about how readers visualize the scenes and stories I've written. However, I haven't much requested that others draw things based on my stories for a few different reasons, including that I wouldn't want to make them feel obligated, especially if I'm seeking something for free.
However, I have recently decided that I would propose a unique commission offer. While commissions typically involve payment to the artist in the form of money or points, I am instead offering to make the efforts of anyone interested count toward something a bit more relevant to the fandom. Here's my proposal: For any piece of fan art that anyone makes for me based on any of my fan fiction stories from now until the end of February, I will make a donation to the Wildlife Conservation Society. For those who do not know, it is the Wildlife Conservation Society that operates the Central Park Zoo, which means th

Obligatory new years journal --... Happy New Year!
EDIT: I want to thank everyone for the New Years wishes, I really do! But there is one thing bugging the hell out of me, you all keep saying Happy Julianuary (yes that is how it is spelled XD) but wasn't that celebrated on Christmas eve?
Considering that that is when Santa showed up and all that malarkey.
I mean, I appreciate it, I really do, but my inner rules lawyer keeps bugging me about it. XDD
I actually don't care about this since days and times were a human creation so that we could plant crops and figure out how old we're getting.
Either way I'm glad to have lived another year, loving my husband, my friends (online or otherwise) and my family.
I've progressed a lot artistically, talked to people I thought would never give me the time of day and tried to reach my life's dreams. I don't intend to give up on them, at one point I was seriously considering giving up art all together to pursue something that actually paid money.
Art is my life, I breath it,

Do not procrastinate. Ever.I procrastinate way too much, which drives me crazy. It's so much fun, because you get to goof off, but then when you have stuff to do and no time to do it... BIG problem.
Take right now, for instance. I didn't think I was going to finish this poetry project. But I think I will. Just need one more free verse, a good copy of my shape, and another shape. Plus a self reflection. Then I have to print it all out. THEN I have to finish my conversation circle packet. But I can do that during homebase if I really have to.
See what procrastinating does? It makes you get all freaky.
I'm procrastinating right now. I should be thinking of a free verse! But I got stuck, so I decided to procrastinate by writing about procrastinating. And one of my poems is ABOUT procrastinating.
GAH!
Anyway. I won a poster contest. I get free bowling/pizza party. You are all jealous.

I'm gonna go write that free verse now. :/

What age group are you in at heart?Well who ever knows me knows that I do random things when I'm bored so I diced to write this journal to see what you guys reactions is after seeing this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-Wd-Q3F8KM
well it's just way for you guys to see what age group you really are
If you don't get the video:                         Then your a child
If you got the video and laugh:                  Your a teen
If you snicker:                                             Then your in between being a adult and teen
If you you got the video and didn't laugh: Your an adu

I learned something very interesting today.Wanna know what I learned? I'd better start from the beginning.
In Language Arts, we are doing our poetry unit (project: we have to write 22 poems- 2 each of 11 different types- by next Thrusday. I have written 3.).
Our student teacher, Ms. Thompson, didn't want to start yet because the roads were terrible (it was snowing on and off all day; it's all melted now) and a bunch of buses were late, so we were missing nine people (out of twenty, and some buses were over an hour late). So she gave us a poetry sheet an told us to get to work.
The two other girls I sit with are Margaret and Ally. Ally was writing her burlesque poem about food, and the word she rhymed it with was 'dude'. So when she showed it to Ms. Thompson, she told Ally she couldn't use the word dude. So she asked why. Ms. Thompson told her that dude was the word for an ingrown elephant butt hair.
The elephant happens to be my most favorite animal ever. For some reason, this didn't offend me at all.

You gotta love Honors L

*headdesk*

Yeah, I do incredibly stupid stuff. So. Many. Times. Blech. Not even funny.
I break a lot of my principles such as (1) Copycat is a no-no, (2) Don't be jealous! EVER, (3) Try not to be self-centered, (4) Don't be an idiot.
THE END.

Now that's done:
Me: Mommy, can you pass me a cotton swab?...Never mind, I'll get it! *gets cotton swab*
Mom: Why do you need it?
Me: THIS! *tosses cotton swab at her*

Mom: ...
Me: *dummy* Just kidding. I'mma shade my drawing. *picks it up* ... *throws it again*

True story.

Up to YouNote: Among the many ideas I've had running through my head over the years is this short Skipper and Marlene piece that takes place after the end of the "Huffin and Puffin" episode. I may someday include this content as part of some future FanFiction.net writing project, but for today it only exists as an independent piece.

As the penguins slept several hours after they had sent Hans to live out his life in the cesspool of Hoboken, Skipper suddenly awoke. "My gut tells me something is not quite right," he thought to himself. "But what?"

Skipper climbed out of his bunk and glanced up at his slumbering team; all were accounted for. He checked

Pixel Font Love:iconpixelfontlovers: #pixelfontlovers is a Group dedicated to Bitmap Fonts. The benefit of bitmap/pixel fonts is that they are readable at very small sizes. However, unlike regular fonts, they do not upsize smoothly, but instead keep their blocky shape. Bitmap fonts are often used in pixel-art, emoticons, Flash projects, as well as deviantART stamps and IDs.
In honor of Project Educate: Resources Week, we've decided to do our first bitmap font feature. We hope you enjoy it. If you like any of these resources, please visit the deviation and post a comment telling the artist so.

OCtopi

On the 10th march 2012 I made myself an 'OCtopi avatar' based on the Crochet OCtopi ^SparklyDest made for me. The idea soon hit off and I set up commissions to allow others to have their own custom OCtopi. The collection was dubbed as the 'OCtopi army' and within 2 weeks had over 70 members. This journal has been created to host a record of this avatar craze.

As of 26th May 2012 the OCtopi base was made free to edit by any member of dA. Only commissions made by myself will be listed in the OCtopi army. For conditions of using the base please read the artists comments on this deviation

For information on commissions please visit this journal
