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.

I'm posting this journal from Vegas, where it's 1 am and I just got to my hotel from seeing Criss Angel. WOOT!

I really enjoyed his act aside from the lack of magic in it...but it's ok, because firstly, he's quite gorgeous, and secondly, he's still getting used to being a celebrity and doing stage performances. Having Cirque du Soleil incorporated in the show was a good touch, too, there was a lot of dances and some AWESOME costume designs. That was one of the best parts--the clothes. I LOVED THEM.

I also loved the ideas...there was a lot of twisted things in there, but it wasn't so much that it was unbearable. There was also some very creepy parts....I liked it. 83

Sorry for not updating lately...or responding lately...or being active at all lately...truth be told, I've been extremely busy spending time with family and friends before I leave. I've also been on an emotional roller coaster because I am leaving...I keep getting cold feet, and it's been hard to remember why I need to go in and do what I have to do.

I think for the first few days, I'm going to have a very difficult time handling the whole situation. I just hope that I don't forget what I have to do before I swear into Active Duty. That would really suck. *sigh* I dunno anymore...I think I'm thinking way too much about this. T-T

Anyways, I'll talk to you guys later. I'm going to draw SEXY FACE now. :3 <3 <3

As of yesterday, snow has finally began hitting the ground. It's very dreary and cold around here (like an autumn should be), and now it's wet as well. I adore the snow, but I would love it even more if it was...warm. lol Everything has its sacrifices, doesn't it? Nonetheless, it's still making everything very clear and washed out and so I'm enjoying it. It's been too sunny lately.

Also at the end of yesterday, I got my fourth tattoo. Like the other three, it's a skull design as well and it's on my bottom back. That's officially become the most sensitive and most painful tattoo I've ever received. I was writhing in the chair (the hot artist commented on how I sounded more like I was in pleasure than in pain...it made me laugh and then I groveled in the pain again), straddling it so hard that it made me tremble and almost go numb. However, it was completely worth it. It's my first color tattoo, and it's a gorgeous lavender with a gray and white skull with little purple guys and bats on the top. I adore it. It's so cute yet dark at the same time.

I've totally got the tattoo addiction--and I found my tattoo artist as well. He's a really cool guy (who's not a total cocky prick that some artists are) and he works very hard to get you what you want. It was an awesome experiences (besides the pain part...but you forget that anyways.)

Just a little update. I've been trying to draw as much as I can, and as I said before, the weather's been against me. However, it's a good sit-around-with-cookies-and-star-at-computer day. *laughs*

So yeah. Enjoy.
