Resolutions and Acceptance (?)

Sun Dec 31, 2006, 6:35 PM
  • Listening to: Chopin's Fantasie-Impromptu
  • Reading: Villette
  • Eating: cookies
Well, my main resolution for this year is to eventually let go of my manga/anime/fanfic addiction. Keyword: "eventually."

I mean, I've always felt that my obsessions, my lack of self control felt almost like I was destroying myself, and I'm sure that I'll continue to be obsessed, but I sincerely want to curb it. Until after second semester starts.. -__-;

Though it's true- there's a ton of stuff that's going to be going on, and I need to be coherent and sensible for them (another one of my resolutions). Which indulging in fanfic until I wake up bleary-eyed after six hours of sleep to get ready for school because I procrastinated for three hours before starting my hw the night before, will not accomplish.

*sigh*

Also, if you haven't noticed, I was barely on dA practically this whole month of December, and think that's a trend that's going to continue. I've deleted all my messages, mostly without looking at them, and stopped watching everyone (though you guys are still my friends!! XD Hopefully.. ), because I can't be bothered to go through everything. Maybe that's just me procrastinating and being escapist, but.. gah. -__- I guess I don't care, anymore, not like I used to two years ago. Sorry, if you were expecting a comment to something, or wanted me to look at your deviations--sometime, I'll go to your gallery and check out your stuff. XD; Sometime..

Recently been addicted to Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte's Villette (which I read when I was eleven or so, but barely remember now), and HGSS.

JK Rowling is so mean. ;;__;;

Lydon: Er - one of our connec- ... one of our internet correspondents wondered if Snape is going to fall in love?

JKR: Yeah? Who on earth would want Snape in love with them, that is a very horrible idea. Erm ...


Anyways, Happy New Years. ^^

Hey, I'm going to use this more frequently. We should hang out one day.
:iconilmai-medetai:
Ahh, yeah.. I haven't seen you in what? Two years? Three? XD So many things have happened.. It would be nice to catch up. :) (Though unfortunately, I'm an intern for most of the week, so I don't have a lot of free time. ><;)

lol, though I don't really use dA anymore.. I haven't felt that much of a compulsion to frequent this place during the time that I've been away.. I use facebook more often, to tell the truth.

JULIA!

I am going to start adding stuff. I don't know why I never have, but I need to get around to it. I hope you are still active.

>>;; Sorry, I'm not really anymore.. >< I mean, I post some stuff up just sort of for myself, but I don't bother to check the website anymore. I'm obsessed with so many other things that dA on top of it (not to mention that I haven't thought of it for *months*), is a bit excessive. XD;

lolol npnp.

it's all props to foxfairy24. she told me about your fantastical crosshatching with ink b/c of the work i've done and i obviously needed advice and i was like zomg you're really good at crosshatching:).

XD Heh, thanks.. ^^ Advice? Just practice *a lot.* It doesn't matter if you can't draw it perfectly spaced or if you draw the lines a bit shaky, just keep your hands relaxed and move your pen quickly across the paper. Once you've got the hang of it, you should then focus on control--for example, spacing them a certain distance, and trying to keep that distance as far as you can go; doing overlapping areas in different directions; trying to make whorls with the lines, or different shapes; etc. I find that those kind of exercises are really good for getting rid of anger, actually.. ^^ I just take out a sheet of paper and start attacking it with a pen. XD

Ya, me an' foxy-girl go way back.. :D
