A fresh start ahoy!

Alrighty then.
To get things out of the way, my exams finished on the 11th of November:

Medicines, Drugs and Poisons (Pharmacology Basic) - Elective. Didn't give a shit. Finished it with an hour to spare. All multiple choice so I was just circling shit here and there. I did know stuff, but, so I'm sure I passed!

Biology - I think I did okay I guess. There was a question in the long-answer section that threw me off big time, but it was the same for everybody.

Physics - I might surprise myself with this one. Although, I didn't read the question properly. It said, "Answer question 1, and two others". But I answered all of them LOL, stupid me.

Radiographic Imaging Methods - This one I'm really worried for. I spent days studying it, and I had a total brain fart during the exam! I felt like dropping down to the ground and sobbing madly afterwards. If I fail this one, I have to repeat the year, and forfeit my chance of graduating with the wonderful friends I've made. That'll really crush my motivation.

The results come out on Monday. Here's to hoping I don't screw myself over!

Now. Onto other stuff. How's things been? Y'all doing okay? Let me know, we need to catch up! And might I add...
A HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Aqua-face, for she is now 18 and legal! I'm gonn' do a little arty-gift for you, but I'm not sure what you want, so let me know!
And while I'm at it, I know I missed a lot of birthdays this year of very dear people. Happy happy belated birthday to you all as well!

As you can also see now, all the artwork's gone. I ate it and crapped it all in the Scraps. I did this, because I'm starting anew. Like I said in my last entry, I'm going to restart my learning, and rebuild my skills, so I can draw properly. At least now, with a clean slate, it will motivate me even more.
That being said, I've compiled a list of artworks I'll be doing in the meantime. I have 3 months to myself (almost... I start working on Monday )x), and I'll be able to fit some time into these pieces of work. Here's the menu so far:

Birthday Present for Aqua: 0% (Need Ideas)

Present for Tiamat: 0% (Need Ideas)

Present for Konstant: 0% (Need Ideas)

Present for Rebecker: 0% (Need Ideas)

Present for Choker: 0% (Need Ideas)

Phoenix: 0% (Brainstorming)

Pirate Artwork: 0% (Brainstorming)

Ichigo for a friend: 0% (Searching References)

New Spritzfeldt design: 0% (Brainstorming)

Kingdom Hearts and Organization XIII Stuff: 0% (Brainstorming)

I might've missed a few there, but with that list, I probably bit off more than I could chew. But I don't care. This gives me a goal; a goal I'm going to complete, no matter how long it takes. In the process, I want to see how far motivation and determination will take me in terms of skill-building. I'm guessing not so far, but it's still early days.
And you know what? I'm also willing to give fanfiction a shot! I read it all the time, how hard could it be?

Now, for roleplaying, I've checked up on the characters I've got listed in Furcadia, and to my dismay, but not surprised, some of them have expired. This caused me to think to myself, that this I need to start anew as well. I've still got Spritzfeldt, thank goodness, and she will forever be my main fursona. She'll be OOC most of the time, but may put her in IC if I see a good plot she's appropriate for. I still have a few others, but this means I can create new ones I've had enough time to think up. I hope I'm not too late to rebuild myself. ):

Ohyeah, I've been addicted to Kingdom Hearts, Organization XIII and One Piece lately. Please bombard me with said artworks. I've almost beaten the game 3 times now, and I refuse to defeat OrgyXIII again T~T.

Okay, enough of this long-winded post from me. Update me, guys! I need to catch up with y'all!! <3<3

Wake up... Wake up!

Goodness gracious me!
Has it really been that long since my last journal entry? Over a year?
Well... I suppose it's a clear indication of the work I've submitted... it's plain shit?

H'okai!
Well, if you were wondering, or not, I've been very rude, selfish and negligent of everyone I know. I haven't been around, I've barely made myself known at all, really. I sort of have an excuse... last year was the time for year 12 final exams, so I wanted to make sure I didn't screw up, and this year's my first in university. Okay, so what? Other people go to university too, right? So I can't really use it as an excuse... but I really want to do well. )= Exams commence in three weeks, so it isn't long now until I get to taste the sweetness of real freedom for 3 months after my last gruelling 3-hour exam.

I don't wanna blow this. I haven't studied this hard in all my years of highschool, and I can't piss about anymore after getting this far. My marks have been mediocre I suppose. I still get distractions all the time. I recently restarted Kingdom Hearts II on PS2, super bad idea, and hence the re-born Orgy XIII obsession once again, -Makes grabbyhands for Luxord-. So I'm a huge lurker for OrgyXIII work, TY! I wanna brush up my skills in drawing so I can pop out a few of these, as well as a LOT more pieces for the future, ohyeys!

I also haven't been on Furcadia in probably the same length of time as my absence from dA. Hopefully, though, this will change in due course, as I miss the dear friends I have made over the past few years over Furcadia, and I hope they don't think for one second I haven't dissed them or forgotten them. )x... <33333!!!!
I'll need to start again with roleplaying if I want to get my skills back up to what they used to be... somewhat decent, and hopefully broaden my boundaries from feral, to virtually all kinds of roleplaying scenarios. Should be interesting, no? (:

What I'm trying to say, over all of this babble, is that I've smacked myself a few times to awaken old beloved memories. The univerisity lifestyle has taken out so much colour from me, and I've become as dull as a rock. It's depressing how much its changed me, and I want it back. There have been signs where I've slowly come back. I've created a few more character names, and even improved a few older ones. I'll be posting them all up as well, when I learn how to draw properly this time LOLL.

Now that I've sort of learnt how to manage my time, BESIDES PS2 THAT DON'T COUNT KTHNX XD, I'll be starting from Square One: trying to put all of my deviations in a scrapbook, or even deleting them if it doesn't let me start afresh, and teaching myself the basics of art. I have a book that I used to use to death all on Manga Drawing, and it was fantastic in dealing with poses and just general proportion, scaling and even colouring. So it'll become my bible again soon hopefully so I'll be able to get back on track again.

I'll be doing more than just people and animals this time. This time, I'll be trying comics, scenery and if I can muster some extra patience, Flash animations. My tablet was gaining quite a bit of dust, and I cleaned it recently, and whoa-nelly, it was as smooth as anything! I mean, even that was enough motivation to get me started again! Damn anatomy, physics, radiography, pharmacology... boooo!!!
Not long now, guys. I miss you all terribly! I hope the past year has treated you fairly and blessed you with good fortunes!

Until next time,
<3333 The Dark Jester who smells of mint.

I was tagged by (-Doesn't know how to put avatars.-)

UPDATE: I DO NOW. Thanks Fretful! <3


Rules:

[The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 Weird Habits/Things About Yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 Weird Habits/Things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "You are tagged" in their devPage comments and tell them to read yours.]

1.) The sound of rubber being grinded together like rubber washing up gloves tears my mind, sanity and spine into shattered pieces. DON'T DO IT AROUND ME. I will kick you.

2.) If there's one chair not pushed in inside a room, I will go to all the chairs, and make sure they're pushed in, including the one out of place.

3.) I self-inflict cuts to my thumbs and fingers, usually leaving them as open seeping wounds. I actually don't really know why, some habit, I guess.

4.) I have a strange fascination for Electricity and Thunderstorms. When I'm playing with a battery, trying to short-circuit something, or plain watching a crazy thunderstorm, I feel so invigorated. One time I was watching 'Van Helsing', thinking it was pretty okay, until it started to pour outside and thunder & lightning joined in with the fray. When the lights flickered, the movie seemed so much better, and the cracks make me feel like I wanna run so fast towards it. (:

5.) I love my dreams, and if I could, I'd love to share them, and even live them. They're not everyday dreams, they're dreams with dragons, gryphons, castles, pyramids, all kinds of fantasy and ancient stuff.

6.) I have an eerie fascination with ghosts and the supernatural.

I TAG:

ILUALL. Hope you have a great new year!!!
