At last, I'm free! And I noticed that I had 1300 messages! 8D Sorry, but I had to delete some *lol* I'm back and ready for some action and to get back into drawing as fast as possible. My mom bought me a brand-spanking new tablet and I'm extremely impatient to start making use out of it.

ALSO! I made my flight's (the group of girls I graduated with--all 51 of them) t-shirt design, so I'll be posting that along with the sketchdump of all the shitty drawings I made while I was here. However, that won't be until halfway into next week because I have other nonsense to do before being REALLY free (like processing...woot...) and then I can FINALLY have the chance to do nothing but sit and draw for however long I want. *relieved sigh*

ANYWAYS! I'll talk to you guys later. 83

Hey guys! I've missed you a whole bunch and have been taking my training day by day. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, but it's also the most accomplishing. I've done things I'd never thought I'd be able to do because you're not allowed to quit, and you have to meet a certain standard. Therefore, you have to find that inner motivation to pull yourself through even when you're body and your mind is screaming for you to quit.

It's also been the scariest thing I've experienced--breathing in tear gas isn't the most pleasant thing and holding an M16 in my cold hands is scary crap. It's the greatest test of your limits and how far someone can back you into a corner before you break through the wall behind you.

It's worth it, though. I know now that I can do things even when I'm scared out of my mind and without anyone's help.

ANYWAYS! I was baffled at the amount of messages I had--I'm excited to shift through them to see what I missed. Less than 3 weeks to go! I can't wait to start drawing again! I'll show you guys all the drawings I made while I was here (they're not master pieces, but I did them to relax and remind me of home), and then begin on the ones that so need to be done, like my requests.

Anyways, I'm going to spend time with my mommy because she's here for only this day (700 pm tonight, have to return to the military life) but I love and miss you guys and I can't wait to hear from you again once I get out!! See you all later!

PS Thank you, for so diligently taking care of all my nonsense while I'm gone. You're an amazing friend and I promise I'll to write before I get out. We've had, like, four chances to write the entire time I've been here >.> But I will try! Thank you again! ^^

This is speaking.

I'm just getting off my butt and going through Ole's messages and hopefully keeping her deviations down to a managable level for when she gets back.

I won't ramble on for too long. I'm just here to follow the instructions Ole left me. *PFT like the journal title wasn't enough info. |P *

And now I leave to go back to my own account~ *bows*

-Flareblade2000 OUT!

Yaaaaay, 14000! Thank you all so much, you guys are wonderful. I feel terrible that I haven't uploaded anything...I've desperately wanted to, but my mind is in several places at once these past couple of weeks. I've been working on several pieces, and ones that I know that I'll be really proud to reveal once I finish them. Of course, I'm going to be missing for a little over two months in which my account will pretty much die...but hopefully you guys will still be with me once I return!

I'd really be happy to see that all my faithful watchers stayed with me while I endure the insanity I'm about to face. Hopefully with the skills they teach me, I'll be more motivated to finish what I started and be able to post things that are actually half decent. I'm sure my watchers will also be pleased with that.

As far as requests have gone, I'm actually doing them! Yes, believe it or not! I recently discovered a program that, I consider, does better blending than Photoshop, and it is about $700 less, and so far has made me a very happy panda. It is called SAI, and although it doesn't have the plethora of tools like Photoshop does, it also teaches me how to use painting and blending colors to achieve what I want rather than being lazy and just using that certain tool. It's difficult, but I'm learning.

Also, bearing in mind that I'm leaving for more than two months, I'm leaving my account to , in which she'll manage it so I won't have to spend a massive amount of time trying to clean up for being gone for that long. I'm very appreciative of her doing this for me, because we all know how much fun it is to have to sort through the deviations and messages we get after being gone for a week. Imagine 8 and a half or more. :S

To wrap it up,I wanted to thank everyone thus far that has supported me and has helped me become a better artist and also been such great friends, despite me being a strange one. It's helped me keep working towards my goal of being a great artist and hopefully a tattoo artist as well! So thank you all again. I know I've talked a lot in this journal, I'm trying to keep it short. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN. I LOVE YOU GUYS.

P.S. This recent poll has, to put it lightly, shocked me. I truly thought that people were going to be freaked out in the event of the world coming to the end, but apparently not! And most people aren't even voting in the positive thought.....however, I'm also glad to see this because this tells me that the entire planet isn't going to completely lose it when that certain time arrives. The worst things seem to happen when humans panic...it's just the way it goes.

Anyways, I'm going to watch more of Criss Angel now and talk to my best Taiwanese friend. Bye-bye.
