Hey there. I'm moving my blog to a new name. I signed up and I love the name, but I'll porbably just forget about it. Like always. Anyway, if you, for some reason, want to see what's up in my blah humdrum life, you can read CyberCoven's tBlog. Yep. That's my new name, CyberCoven.
 
E-mail

I am online to check my e-mail again. Yesterday I talked one of my friends into getting a tBlog so now I don't feel like a pathetic freak who blurts her every tiny mishap to about a thousand people that she doesn't even know.

I want to get some of the cool effects on my page that other people have for their page! But I can't because I spent the only 50 tBucks that I had and the dumb header thingy didn't even show up on my Blog. Crappity crap crap crap.

Anyway, I'm having lots of fun with my new guitar. I love it! I can't wait to start playing! I have to go get breakfast so I'll check back in later!

Birthdays
08.31.03 (6:56 pm)   [edit]
We just had my step-dad's birthday celebration. It was great, but I could've eaten more. I just don't want my family to think I'm a pig. I'm not anorexic or bulemic or any of that, I just try to make sure I eat healthy things. But my mom still seems to think that I'm awfully chubby. I think I'm okay, I mean I suck in my gut sometimes but who doesn't?

Anyway, I was at a school football game the other day rooting for my friends Lbs, VonKolen, Seagraves and...uhh...yeah. It was really fun, and I noticed that some of the players on that team have really nice butts. *girlish giggle*

I have to say that, at the moment, I am SO glad that Xanga went down. I don't even bother checking to see if it's fixed anymore. I am updating my page right now and Von Kolen, you are too avoiding me!

Songwriting
08.31.03 (3:16 pm)   [edit]
I was just thinking about music and I wondered,[i] if I were a musician, what kind of music would I play/write/sing?[/i] I decided that I'd like to play some kind of Christian rock music. Hard rock music. I love the almost punk-sounding music, but I also love Christian music, so I thought, why not combine the two?

In other news, I just spent fifty tBucks for a header. Goodness gracious those things are easy to spend! I swear! And it took me a REALLY long time to get that many tBucks. Actually, until a couple of days ago, I didn't even know what they were. Ah well. Gotta get back to my Toby. (I named my guitar after my little dog who probably won't live much loner. It's cheesy I know, but I love him and besides, my guitar looks like a Toby anyway.)

Buh-bye now!

I am Pathetic...
08.31.03 (2:07 pm)   [edit]
Y'know what I just realized? I have a serious addiction to checking my e-mail. I have some idea why. I used to just think it was because I liked to hear from people, know that someone still knew I existed...but over time it seemed to change a little bit, and now I realize that I check my e-mail every five minutes to see if a certain someone has e-mailed me. I won't mention his name, in case he reads this and knows who I'm talking about, but y'know. It's just one of those, lovesick puppy cases...he wouldn't go for me anyway. I mean, I have a very close friend who also likes him, and I made a vow that she could go out with him if she wanted to. I don't know if she still likes him, but he flirts with me. A lot. Is he sending mixed signals on purpose, does he really like me, how do I tell him that I like ihm? Those are all questions running rampant in my mind. The only way to deal with questions of that sort is...sleep. I would take a nap if I wasn't so hyper! Blast you hyperness! Gaaah! Maybe I'll go work on some of my pathetic guitar skills instead....not a bad idea. I think I shall do that. After all, what better way to let your feelings out than expressing them through music. With just a move of the finger, you can change the tune. I guess that, in a freaky, idealistic way, that expression fits for life too. Hm. Maybe I should be a psycologist when I'm all grown up.

Samick Guitar
08.31.03 (1:14 pm)   [edit]
Oooh! I am SO happy! My internet has been broken for a while and now it's all fixed! So I can finally check my e-mail and look at my Deviantart account (the link to which I still have to put up here), and I can once again bore the TBlog community with my tedious everyday life stories!

I got a Greg Bennet (made by Samick) electirc guitar yesterday for my birthday and I am really ecxited. I'm signing up for lessons and whatnot and it's so intriguing. I've always loved music, specifially rock music and now I have my own guitar! Everybody I talked to suggested Fenders and Less Pauls and Baby Taylors and stuff and I am SO glad that I got the guitar I did. Samick makes Fenders anyway so there.

Its color is called sunburst. It goes from black around the edge to a wood color in the middle. It looks very vintage and cool. I'm looking up some how to play tutorials on the internet right now. And I had three messages waiting in my inbox from someone I missed very much. Sqwee!

Anyway, in my last post, I forgot to mention what my newest obsession is. It's Robin from Batman and Robin. He's so awesome! He rocks! I lvoe him, but that costume needs a desperate makeover. I mean, the red vest is basically a target saying, 'Shoot me I'm here.' Well, I will chatter incessently at you all later, bye!

School and My Newest Obsession...
08.27.03 (9:06 pm)   [edit]
School started. Unfortunately it was on my birthday. But that's some explanation as to why I haven't posted in a while. I am gathering up sketches and whatnot to send a resume to Disney. I have my eye on their scholarship. I really want that scholarship! In other news, my dad suggested to me today at McDonalds (of all places) that I make a political cartoon website. I may very well do that. I have a couple of starting cartoons all planned, as well as a few visits from the 'political Analyst of the Future' (aka my newest half-stick character G.W.I.G. or just Gwig). I've been REALLY busy lately and I am SO swaped right now that it's not even funny. I guess my request/comission jobs are going to have to take a backseat for now. School and grades come before art in most cases for me. Although I wish it could be the other way around. Anyways....I guess I'll post later. Bye bye and goodnight (thank God).

tennis
08.19.03 (10:08 pm)   [edit]
I started playing tennis this morning, doing SO good! And then, whaddya know, it starts to rain on me. And we never get rain where I live so it was completely unexpected too! On the plus side, however, I did get some free time to upload my website. Yay!

New Art Account!
08.19.03 (11:17 am)   [edit]
I got a new DeviantArt account! Yay! Only one problem. I have to post preview pics that are either JPEG or PNG, and my computer won't save files as either of those! Gaah! What's a girl to do!? Anyway, I drew a fairly distrubing (to me) picture the other day and I thought I'd share it with you peppy people of TBlog.com. I drew it while listening to my new favorite CD, Ra. It was inspired by the song Do You Call My Name?

B-Day Party
08.17.03 (10:41 pm)   [edit]
My birthday party was this weekend, after I got my hair cut! I made out like a bandit this year! And I know that expression is way outdated, but it's really true. I got a buttload of stuff. I got thirteen sketchbooks, a set of (cool) inking pens, a big huge pack of gel pens which I can't use for school, and a ton of other stuff. It was SO cool because I got to see all my friends before school starts this Thursday. Ironically, that's my REAL birthday. It sucks. I have to get up at 6:00-ish and do Algebra at 7:45. Grrr....But on the plus side, I DO get to see all my friends again. TTYL!

This is some of today's top news that I pulled from my e-mail account, in case anyone's interested. I actually find some of it rather interesting, in accordance with rumors and other news I've heard around.

    Guy Troubles Once More
    08.13.03 (9:37 pm)   [edit]
    Okay, I know none of you want to hear this, but I really want this one guy to like me. He's always flirty around me and it seems like he likes me. And he's really close to me, but then he asks me to tell this girl I know but don't really like who already has a boyfriend that he likes her. He put me in such an uncomfortable position that I don't know what to do. Ah the tangled webs we weave, eh? PS- I'm trying out a TBlog effect thing so I apologize if this looks wierd.
     
    Trouble in Paradise
    08.13.03 (1:20 pm)   [edit]
    I now have the support of someone I REALLY care about on this whole Disney shpeel. And it feels so great to know that he's behind me. I don't why it matters so much to me, but it does. And I think that maybe I will send in a resume. The only problem is, a lot of what they ask for is real life art. I can't draw many realistic things worth two bags of llama's poop, but I kick a$$ at cartooning. Which is good. I'm wondering what they'll say if I DO send it in. My highest hope for it right now is an internship or a scholarship or something fun like that. And if, God willing, I was accepted there, I could work at teh one in California, and be close to my family and friends. Yay!
     
    Ay yay yay!
    08.11.03 (10:07 pm)   [edit]
    I'm going WAY out on a limb here and seriously considering submitting a resume to Walt Disney animation studios...which is saying something! I don't even know if they'll accept someone.....let's just say, younger than usual. I will admit that I am good at what I draw, and I love to do it. So I don't see what the problem with me is. And besides, this could line me up for a scholarship, or some helpful tips. Any way.....wish me luck.

    I've Made My Decision...
    08.11.03 (10:23 am)   [edit]
    :!: :!: :idea: I've been thinking about it for quite some time now, and I've been doodling non-stop. (Actually I was working on a character design for an online webcomic that I should've started already.) Anyway, I've been brooding over my tied, neck-in-neck career choices and have decided to focus my talents on (cue cheesy dramatci music) [b]animation[/b]. I was looking at the DisneyAustralia website (even though I'm no where [i]near [/i]Australia) and I thought that the jobs and whatnot that they offered sounded like fun, exciting career opportunities. And I'm good at what I do so that's a big old plus. I'm taking an art class this semester and am really excited to do so. We get to try drawing with charcoals, regular penicls, pastels, chalks, and we get to learn painting and even soem three-dimensional design, I believe. I cannot wait for this schoolyear to start (even if the first day [i]is [/i]my birthday).
     
    Story from Camp...
    08.11.03 (10:13 am)   [edit]
    This is a short story type description that I wrote while I was at camp. It started out as me ranting about how chilly it was there, and then it turned into an inspirational piece. Like all of my writing does.

    [i]The morning blows [/i]a tender kiss to wake your sleeping face. The rays of the sun dance around you, bidding you to play. Through sleep blurred vision, the colors mix. A dizzying painting of browns and greens and blues. Your breath is a puff of fog that the chill air swallows up. You gaze upon the morning, momentarily in awe of all its innocence. The next thought that pulses through your mind is, "God, it's early." Through distorted perception, you see a day just like all the others unfolding before you. How long will it be until you realize that each new day is a miracle? To see the world emerge from the safe haven that cradled them in the night is a miracle. To see fauna and flora trust each new day is a miracle. When will the light shine on your face and open your eyes to each new day. It takes a great person to live in satisfaction from day to day, but it takes and even greater person to find each special moment, and live in satsifaction with those.

    Undies on a Stick
    08.10.03 (10:27 pm)   [edit]
    So I was at choir camp, chillin' with some of mah g i r l s (jk with all the Homie-G stuff) and one of them finds a black thong on a s bed. So she throws it at all of us on the floor and we all scream like little wussies because none of us want to touch the butt floss. So someone has the bright idea to use a stick to pick it up. (The stick also happened to be my friend's Orlando Bloom sword. She never touched it again.) Anyway, so now all of us have pictures of this g i r l 's thong on a stick. And the funniest part is, she was in the room right next to us, blowdrying her hair, and she still has NO idea what went on. We had to state a fave memory from camp before we left, and one g i r l said "Underwear." and half of the room started c r a c k ing up because it was so funny. Thong on a stick....lol....

    Future Career/ Choir Camp
    08.10.03 (7:37 pm)   [edit]
    :lol: I went to a choir camp this weekend for three days. Sure it was an hour and a half drive from my house, but I won't soon regret it. I had three cabin mates who were all really nice and very sweet. But one of them had a super-distorted sense of humor (like, even more than mine) and she thought it owuld be funny to overflow our sink. So our room started to stink and we had to room with other people and..yeah.

    Anyway. The other day I was thinking about what type of a career I may want to look into in the future, and I have finally come to a tie with two career choices. I either want to be an actress or a Disney animator. Right now, I'm leaning more towards Disney animator because that's where more of my talents lie. I'm a very "arts oriented" person and most of my skills and talents are right-brained. But I've been researching Disney animation on the internet and it looks mucho fun.

    Granted I still have a ways to go before I'm as good as any of the animators that work there now, but I'm not bad at all for my age. Nope, not at all. If you feel the need or just the urge or desire to look at a few of my sketches in a more cartoon-y (but not very Disney except for one) style, then you can go here:

    www.theredflowerssong.tripod.com

    Why do I have a site on FREE webspace, you ask? Why because I'm cheap and broke. I can't afford the monthly bills for a premium site right now.....and as long as I can post my art on free webspace, why bother? Huzzah! See ya later!

    I Had an Idea
    08.08.03 (9:11 am)   [edit]
    :idea: I don't know why I'm bothering to post this, but I just had a really good idea! That and SleepTight, my dear friend who goes into a coma every time she falls asleep, is still doing just that. Being in a sleep-coma. One of my other friends also spent the night last night, and we were up fairly late so I'm a bit giddy this morning.

    Yah! I have to go to choir camp for three days later today! Nya....I don't wanna! But there's really nothing I can do about it except look forward to the three hour drive. Bugger....
     
    My First Post
    08.08.03 (9:01 am)   [edit]
    Huzzah! It's my first post! He he! Wow. I'm kinda excited to have a blog all to myself, finally. I mean, all these people have livejournal and whatnot, but I'm cheap and broke so I could never afford one. But now I have one! Yay! So welcome here, to my blog, where you can read all of my daily rantings. Either you are insane or you are REALLY bored. Anywho.....I have to go read more of Irresistable Poison. Rhyssen rocks, people. Go read her stories.
