Oct. 30th, 2007 @ 03:31 pm Wow, I'm terrible at updating
It's been a while since I've written, but i've been writing on wordpress while at work, and for some reason I like it better there. It's the exact same format, so figure that one out.
Tiina posted my portfolio on the site (yay!)
so now that's it for now, I need some sleep before class.

Jul. 12th, 2007 @ 07:23 pm Hooray for anthrocon!
Ok, once again, it's been forever since I've updated, but I think now is a good time.
Just got back from anthrocon, where I drove a total of... 36 hours? to and from pittsburgh from south florida. Actually, the drive was one of my favorite parts, because I've never really been anywhere inside the states and driving through mountains was fun!
Got to go to the georgia aquarium which was awesome. OMG whale sharks! They were so big, but the tank was so much bigger that it was hard to compare, but obviously, when they float over you, you get the idea!
The best part about the con was hanging out and making new friends. I had a great time with them, and got to learn so many things. OMG, Balaa, you're so sweet! And all the peoples in the secret art room are awesome!
My stuff didn't sell too well, so we'll see if I can make it next year... I guess it depends on what I can sell via internet.
I'm still waiting to get a picture from nani ookami for the jaywolf felted animal I made for her, and I need to get a picture from Al for the daschund I made for his mom, as well as getting off my butt and taking pictures of the ones I had made beforehand. I'm hoping to make more customs because those are so much more fun! I'll post those pictures as soon as I get them. The art show was an experience, and I think if I plan more next year, I'll have more success.
So overall, I had fun, even though it was stressful.

Feb. 21st, 2007 @ 02:35 pm Fur-hats for sale!


So yeah, if anyone is interested in purchasing a HAND KNITTED HAT... just post here with your email, and I'll get back to you ASAP. (don't give me that, well, what is there other than hand knitting, because there is machine knitting!)
But these are special, I can do them completely custom, any color, animal (well as long as they have ears) and whatever else you may want that I may be capable of. If you have any questions, let me know. I will be charging around $50 each for these because they take a couple days to make, and that time frame also depends on what kind you want (longer ears may take a little longer, but not much!)
So please, help support the Magda fund! Buy a super-cute hat today!

ugh!
I'm so sick of the fact that the more time I spend at FSU, the less I have an ability to draw a semi-realistic person. I hate 9 heads! that's all we draw! and when one of my friends looked at my illustration for my last project and said: "you've really improved since you started hear" I almost wanted to cry: it was one of my worst, and she's not that good, and I used to be good at this, and now I suck!!! I can't wait to start practicing. I'm buying a new pencil tomorrow!

Alrighty, so I guess it's about time for another update. In some happy news, my birthday is on sunday! AND I'm going to disney. it's awesome. I'm excited. whatever. Three weeks into school I'm ready to kill two of my professors because they are complete idiots when it comes to reason/organization. I have a group project due in two weeks and I just got the guidelines yesterday. I'm wondering why my professor for apparel production doesn't seem to realize that not only is her class not our only one, but that it takes a bit more time than two weeks to put together a group project when we have more than one class and lives. the sad part it that we heard about it the first day of class. why she didn't post the instruction until now is anyone's guess. Oh yeah, and she also doesn't post the powerpoints until the day of class so I have to get to the computer lab to print (which, by the way, costs money) because my printer doesn't want to un-clog itself and I can't print for free unless I'm at a friend's house or at work. I think I will talk with her about this today. Maybe she'll understand, but I doubt. my other professor has assigned a GROUP PAPER. How this makes sense to ANYONE... ugh. I had to fight for a topic. apparently we can't have the same topic as anyone in any of her classes this semester or last semester. And those topics were pretty broad, so it knocks out a lot of things with one word. Like 'egypt.' WTF. I actually managed to get away with Fashion in Film, even though that isn't the topic I really sent her (BTW- "COSTUME in film" is not exactly the same as "fashion in film"GAH!!!) So for my tri-monthly (or so) rant, that is all.

Nov. 4th, 2005 @ 10:25 pm again, it's been a long time: and with reason
Current Mood: disappointed in myself
So even though I only have one current LJ friend, might as well write anyways. Today was unbelieveably... what's the right word for it?... suck-tastic? that should do. After staying up to do my illustrations for portfolio, I had to wake up at 630 this morning for the class and I spent all day in the computer lab working on my midterm portfolio. Then it was the Cold Stone Creamery fundraiser, a.k.a. the road to hell. we did okay as far as making money, not as much as I had hoped. then my lack of tact seemed to be the end of me once and for all. I really need to learn how to shut up and stop repeating the same thing over and over. it just leads to bad things. I was stupid and made megan think she was being a bad member (I thought I was being funny oddly enough) and making her feel like she was not going to be in bad standing. if you read this: you're not. what I said in response to your question of 'what happens if I don't do some of this stuff' was 'I don't know, I guess you're not a standing WHATEVER.' I had a conversation with allison earlier that day about the topic of how I think it's a bad idea to not include people who don't get all their damn points because I didn't want to deal with the firestorm. I know that people have other shit to do, and I think it's freakin retarded that even if people come to the meetings, pay their dues and help with the show that they wouldn't be standing members. that's just wrong. I'm really worried that I've lost a close friend over a stupid thing like this and I can't even figure out how to apologize. where would I start without pretty much saying 'no, no, you don't understand. YOU'RE the one that heard me wrong'? I don't know, that sound dumb. but I don't want to/need to lose another friend, especially in tally. I've got so few as it is here, and the fact that I've managed to make a friend that understands me is remarkable. but I'm afraid my lack of tact and the fact that I seem to be a complete retard may not help.

summary of my day: FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!

so again, it's been months since my last entry, but forgive me, I've been busy. now I'm back in school and stressing already about my mid-semester and final projects, with all the little mini projects in between. But I do have good teachers, and that's always fun! hopefully it will remain that way. Here's what I'm taking: Family Relation and life development (pointless but required. still semi-interesting), Merchandising principles (required but unnecessary because I'm an apparel design major, not a merchandising major... whatever, Mr.Mac is cool. he's old and likes to "rap with his students" (whatever that means) but hated ashley simpson...oooook), Fashion Design and Illustration (very cool class but the teacher speaks horrible english... hopefully she won't bog me down since I already know how to sort of illustrate fashion. that would suck), Advanced Clothing Construction (no, I can't make clothes for you unless you're Tiina or someone else that you know I'm willing to make clothes for. probably only Tiina because she's closest to the size of the mannequin, which is great because that means a real person can wear my clothes!) and History of the U.S. since 1865 (don't ask why I chose that one, besides the fact that it's required for liberal arts). so that's that. I still haven't taken good pictures of my last project, but I guess that'll wait till spring break (that means you tiina). but I do have some with my temporary model Megan who is way too small for the clothes, but it still looks okay. I'm gonna try to figure out how to post them. I guess I'll throw in the pic of my basic apparel construction final project as well. it's boring and we all had to do the same thing. but I'm sure this semester will be even better! I'm going to attempt at making the jacket tiina so desperately wants from I, Robot that she THINKS is impossible to make, but comparitve to my flat pattern exams, is extremely easy. I'll try to post that too! oh yeah and my back hurts. now I really know why they say to lift with your knees.

Alright, so since I haven't posted since... August ::cough cough:: I guess I'll post now. I figured no one was reading this, so I never wrote. I still think that, but I'm bored. There's a football game tonight at school and campus is filled with drunk people, but right now they're all at the stadium. I can seriously hear the cheering from my dorm. it's not so bad though, besides the lack of convenient parking. I had to work this morning, and for some reason they decided to coincide game day and a 12-hour sale. This means that there are tons of out of town people in tallahassee and they were bored before the game and decided to go shopping. ugh. so tired. but at least I'm getting along with everyone at work so far. I got paid, and it was pretty decent for only working two days. I promptly spent most of it on lunch, dinner and some accessories. the rest will be spent on vampire teeth that are, while rediculously expensive for $15, really cool because you can mold them to fit your teeth. you can't eat or bit people though, which sucks, pun partially intended. but halloween is slowly approaching, and my costume is not finished, but I'm happy with the fact that I have my mind finally set on an idea: an interview with the vampire... vampire. so yeah, I should probably get to working on that. and yay for getting jobs because tiina has one now, and she can spend money on ridiculous things like I do, but not food because she has no where to put it and it might be illegal in her dorm. since everything else is. so yeah, that's all.

Alright, so I haven't written anything for over a week... or so. So here's what's new: I got to Tallahassee on Thursday after flying back to West Palm from NYC on Saturday. So now I'm utterly exhausted from unpacking and the nervousness of school starting tomorrow is really getting to me. I will be tired at the end of the week. My schedule really isn't that bad, it's just extremely packed together: tomorrow I start at 9AM, get finished at 110PM, and all my classes are in vaguely different parts of campus from each other. So that will be a fun adventure. And it's not even like they're similar classes or anything, or at least not in my opinion. Visual design in clothing and textiles, ancient medieval civilization, art history, and apparel construction. Ok, so I guess on some level they relate, but I hope they don't require the lugging of books to these classes, my art history book alone weighs something like 40 pounds. We'll see. Wish me luck.

Aug. 9th, 2004 @ 01:17 am Random Poetry- The R Train
There are those holding no remorse,
Nor feel the pain of living.
Others moving swiftly through,
Avoid the scented roses.
But watching old men wandering,
Making me wonder what went wrong,
Conducting ancient orchestras,
Mere figments of the mind.
The common look of wonder,
Known better as discontent,
Spreads swiftly through the cabin,
Heads turn to better stare,
For having dealt insanity,
Simple to pass out,
And breeds of compassion,
Becoming rare,
Heed not the warning calls,
And all are learning suddenly, with the jerky halt,
There is a sudden truth,
That while the last in light
May arrive less quickly to where they need to be,
They are the last to see dark
Most common underground.

Aug. 7th, 2004 @ 12:15 pm gaaa... light
So last night was a good time, went to see 'Avenue Q' on Broadway. If you ever get a chance to see it, I HIGHLY recommend it. Beware of puppet sex though. ;D So today I think we're going to Central Park to get tickets for Shakespeare in Central Park for tonight. Should be awesome, I passed by there the other day and they were sold out and a bunch of people were waiting to get in... the play doesn't start till eight and it was six when I passed by. So obviously it's worth going to. We'll see what happens...

Aug. 6th, 2004 @ 01:11 am too... much... metal...
Technically it's still the fifth because it's dark out and I haven't slept. Today I went to the American Museum of Natural History and the Empire State Building. Museum rating: two thumbs up! It was definitely worth the money and the time to look at everything. But it's one of those get-up-in-the-morning things to do, because you need a lot of time to do it. Empire State Building rating: one up, one down. Although it's absolutely one of those things you need to do when visiting the city, the people that work, and visit, there are a pain in the ass. I think people get a job there just so they can confuse and boss people around. And I was stuck with a bunch of tourists who didn't know the meaning of personal space, the words 'excuse me' and that when someone is standing still and staring at something ahead of them, it is not an invite for them to shove in front of you so that they can see instead. But all in all, it was mostly worth the $12 to get in, although I got a CityPass to that everything was all one price.
So now it's 1am and I just finished counting over $50 in coins in almost two hours out of two jars in the boys' house because Edwin and myself simply felt like it... yeah, we have no life. I don't like coins anymore, and I will promise myself to either quickly spend them or start a jar of my own.
I'm liking this city, and I really am thinking about moving here once I finish my bachelor's. Which may be in two years, not three. We'll see. But I do hope to visit here in the winter with Tiina and Caitlin and, of course, the Jester.
Hurray for Edwin fixing the filter in Dien's tank, now the fish that I'm unexpectedly taking care of won't die.
Time to Sleep.

Aug. 4th, 2004 @ 11:20 pm mmm... sleeeepy
So I had a fairly good day, despite the fact that I wasted most of it waiting for Edwin to wake up only for him to not want to go anywhere with me in NY. So I went to Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which I went too late to because they close at 515 and I got there at like 4. ooops. I'll probably either go again tomorrow or just not and do other fun stuff without waiting for people to wake up. Tomorrow's plans include the American Museum of Natural History and possibly the planetarium. Stupid medication making me emotional... and making my memory spastic and/or nonexistant. Time for bed, tomorrow's another day.

Aug. 4th, 2004 @ 11:17 am hurrah for NYC
Ok, so it's day... four of my two week stay in the city and I got bored sitting in the apartment with nothing to do since no one would take me anywhere. So I started a journal. I thought I might as well start now, since I could never keep one as a child... got too bored with it. So here I am, groggy at the crack of noon. I may go to chinatown and/or the statue of liberty, do some cheesy touristy stuff that I always love to do, even when I'm home... canoeing. So if anyone discovers this that knows me, feel free to say hello.
