Yes yes yes after working sooooo hard this school year (especially this week), I have FREEDOM.

Cept I have AP Art and English homework over the week...peh...


SO school has been basically awesome. I have all A's, cept a B in English because... well I could go on. XD I'm just proud of my A in Economics because it makes my dad happy. He needs that most, because he recently lost his job. >: Yeah, right before the holidays (and my birthday.........)! Can you believe that? His new boss was a complete A-Hole. He made my dad do all sorts of dirty work this month (made him stay during Veteran's day, despite my dad being a veteran), and then he fired my dad so he could hire his own people. I feel so bad for him. >: Couldn't the boss just wait until AFTER new year's? Ugh. SOME people...

But as I was saying... AP art is the one class I was still having a hard time with. You have to expect that with AP classes though. I recently had no idea about the quality expected. I always tend to do my artwork relatively "simple", because I thought that simplicity is the way to go, and it still is! However, I recently went to an art show (in which I've won third place as my highest honor, a TEENY bit bummed out about it, but it was my own quality of work that was at fault), and I looked at the stuff that had won and even remained as permanent parts of the school's collection. I realized (despite my teacher telling this in my face..XD) that I needed more detail in my artwork. It's like a light bulb lit up in my head! Ever since I realized this, my art has dramatically improved. I know this because when I turned in the latest piece for my AP portfolio, my teacher didn't say anything negative! AMAZING. I also looked to ~aesujin's artwork (yes I am a stalker and I study your drawing habits all the time!!) and I noticed that she is uber detailed. I HATE sitting next to you dude you make me feel like I'm a faaaaiillure!! XD ^{Lol you know I'm only kidding x3 you're the coolest Korean person I know!}

So I've been at it a lot this month, and I had to help out my family quite a bit now because of my dad's situation. Working very hard to get uber scholarships and junk when I get into college!


As I've said, I've been busier than ever with art, family, and helping my friends with school work. BUT SINCE I have this week off, I'm going to finish some of you guy's work even if it kills me! Moving on....


I actually have a couple of new names for the cats so far, Sorcha is going to be Sorbek, and Soraya is now Selket. "Manni" and "Blitzy" are still unnamed, but for Blitzy I want a name that is like Ania or Mali or something with "a", "li", and/or "la". Or Amali. XD Manni I'm just clueless. Sorbek and Selket were named off of the Egyptian Gods that supposedly served the King. Neat and it fits their characters, because Sobek (which I changed to Sorbek) was like of stregth, and Selket was of magic. It makes sense because I'm going to use the "SUN" character I had and make her to replace the roll of Soraya. I like her design way more. xD If you have any ideas for names, feel free to let me know!


Does anyone have any idea of what I could do for my birthday (which is on Dec. 14) with immediate family and friends, considering the fact that I have no money (nor will my family) to celebrate? D: The local free places are the beach, a park, and a man-made lake. Ideas would be lovely!
