It`s Christmas even and I`m loving every minute of it. Its half uplifting because Christmas is, well frankly, awsome. Then, on the other hand, there are alot of memories there. Ones that arn`t so uplifting. I guess we have to take the good with the bad. This year will be good, its my last year living at home afterall.

University - Still not applied. Going to eventually. Western, York and U of T. Looking to get my BFA.
- Need to create a portfolio with minimum 15 peices. Expect alot more traditional art soon.
- Need to bring porfolio to an interview in February and meet with University Representatives.

Highschool - Still peer tutoring grade 11`s.
- Still too busy to work on much, but trying really hard.
- Actual art class next semester, mildly excited.

Christmas - Asked for a bunch of art supplied for Christmas, hope I get them.
- Hand made my friends all cards again this year. Thought about uploading pictures, didn`t.
- Drew a charcoal recreation of a photograph of my friend Jessica`s for her parents.

Other - Am Illustrating a children`s story for one of my teachers. `The Adventures of Mousie`
- Am trying out encaustics and trying not to die, as I am allergic to beeswax.
- Am going to upload photography soon, I swear.
- Helped my friend Jesse sew a bunch of felt robots.
- Matt Gooding has my watercolours, and I WANT THEM BACK.

I have decided! I am infact going to apply to universities for my bachlor of fine arts. My current four top schools consist of: The University of Toronto, Nipissing, Western and OCAD. I'm pretty sure I'm going to apply to all four, becuase I cannot for the life of me decide between them. I know I shouldn't apply to UofT becuase its not really a good Art-related school, but its a childhood dream thing, I can't just drop that off my list. However, Western and OCAD both require portfolio submissions for entry. I am, for lack of better phrasing, screwed. I have to pump out at least 12 new art works to submit over the next three months. For those of you too lazy to do the math, thats one peice a week, without break from now until the start of February. Can I pull it off? Probably not... Am I going to try? Well is apears I don't really have a choice now do I! So expect quite the bit of posting from me if all goes as planned. In any sake, Halloween is this weekend and I've created my own costume -the corpse bride!- and I shall of course be posting a few pictures afterwords. I've got alot of photography to upload, but with a lack of photoshop to add my typical boarders I don't have the effort to do it right now, its on my to doo list though. I also have to carve three pumpkins, finish 4 essays, write a speech, a short story, start NaNoWriMo once November pops up (for those of yuou unaware of national novel writing month look it up, its a brilliant idea!) and I've got a Halloween party to finish planning. Its going to be a hectic few weeks but lets hope we stay on track. Also, on a side note: I'm peer tutoring an art class. Sortof, teachers assistant-like job. Its pretty fun, my students are all brilliant ^-^. Other then that, my art world is lacking in many a way and I shall work to fix that! Thank you everyone again for the support faves and watches and Keep up the arting!

Two more weeks until school. THANK. GOD. Im going to upload soon, like, actually this time.


Update: Okay so its about the end of september, and I havent uploaded. Im so unreliable. Jezz.

Alright so its my birthday. Well its 4 in the morning, so technically its not my birthday anymore, but STILL. Point being, I'm seventeen! Woots. AND. I. FINALLY. GOT. A. NEW. CAMERA. WOOO. YAY. CANON. REBEL. T1I!!!! Bahaha, I still cannot believe my mother and father willingly gave me a 1000 dollar birthday present, AND A SINGING TEDDY BEAR. God I'm a spoiled child. Anyways, I still have done next to no traditional artwork. However I still have a pile of it sitting in my basement from a while ago that I'm just too lazy to take pictures of or scan and post... I'll do it eventually i swear... lolz. Ah well, other than that, camera is great, i love it. I'm doing fine, summer is relaxing and awsome. Can't wait for school to start back up though, the sooner it starts, the sooner its over and the sooner im off to university. Yayyy. Hope you're all having a great summer. And as always, thanks for watching.

Here in this diary, I write you visions of my summer!! It was the best I ever had, there were chorus' and sing-alongs, and that unspoken feeling... of knowing that right now is all that matter. Lighting fireworks in parking lots, illuminate the blackest nights. Cherry cokes under this moonlit summer sky! 20-15 Riverside! ITs time to say gooooood byeeee! Being grown up, isn't half as fun as growing up. These are the best days of our lives. The only thing that matteres is just following your heart, and eventually you'll finally get it right....

Okay so that was just a little exscript from the song I'm listening too In this diary by the Ataris. They are awsome, this song is like, my classis summer anthem

In other news, its raining outside. Lovely I know. That was not sarcasum, I love rain. ^-^. The summers going great, schools no longer in so I'm stress free, and rested up. I'll give it a week or two before the artistic juices start flowing, but they will come, I swear.

Also, a little shout out to my pal Jesse who is stuck at bible camp (laught internally) leaving me here to rot, and a nother little should out to my other pal Jessica who will be forced to un-rot-ify me.

Last but CERTAINLY THE OPPOSITVE OF LEAST. Is that my mumsie has brought up the rediculusly elating notion that this year for my birthday I get... wait for it... wait for it.... A DSLR!!! YAyy for me, no more bitching about my cyber shot Im thinking of going with the Canon Rebel T1I It seems quite le awsome for a good price and i dont want to overprice my oh so lovely mother. Im SO EXCITED. So once i get that im 100% sure youll be seeing alot more photography out of me. Sadly, that'll probably put my traditional art on the backburner, but when I first joined DA it was really for photography anyways. So well see how that goes...

Anywho, I hope everyones enjoying the summer, getting a great tan and doing absolultey nothing of any importance
