LOL what time is it for you Kelsey? I no it’s early as heck for me. Yeah my wife’s a lil odd but she married an odd guy so it kinda balances out.

I woke up early for a saturday thats for sure, I normally sleep in till 10, cause nite time is when I stay up drawing and listening to country music, its my "tranqility time", grandma has her time in the mornings, and I have mine at night. I'll stay up for hours, but I'm never tired really when I get up, its later in the day I feel the effects. I'ts kinda early for me I guess.

Hehe I'm at my studio... bored don't feel like being creative so im posting msgs and harrasing some friends.

lol. I'm much more relaxed at nite, I find my mind works better when I'm half way asleep and music is playing. Thats when I write my stories, in my diary, and I draw. If I don't do that i stare into space.

Hehe I find myself just zoned half the time when I write/sketch. Then I blink and ive writen like 5 some odd pages and 2-3 hours have gone by. Those are my good moments.

A good thunderstorm is good to have at night, I turn my music low to hear the thunder and my element(wind) whip passed to windows. I wrote a poem on thunder storms last night.

Thunderstorms are very nice.

Stormy weather is great for sleeping. It’s my greatest weakness No matter what time of the day it is or what I'm doing. I hear that rumble and the patter of rain I instantly get sleepy and just want to curl up in a corner and sleep.

I'm kinda prayin' for one right now, I'm somewhat stressed and wanna walk outside and watch the lihgn=tning and feel the rain. A relaxing type of moment, and the thunder, wonderful.

I love it when there a great bolts of lightening and crackling and booming thunder

I once had to stand out in the rain and wait for my grandpa to pick me up, It was raining in torrents and I didn't even bother to cover my head, when a lady asked if I wanted to stand in her ptio in the sheltered area, I said no and pointed my face to the darkening sky.

Don't do that Kelsey I do not need to fall asleep face down in my studio. Its nice outside atm about mid 60's nice breeze its gorgeous. I don't even no why im at work I'm not doing anything lol.

XD. I still need it to rain, school is a burden, so I just need rain every now and then.

Hate to sound like a parent but school is important and you really should try to do well in it. It decides your future.

I know, doesn't mean I have to like it tho.

i oncewas larping and it was a two day event so i was sleeping in my tent and i wake up in the middle of the night and its raining like a hell storm outside and theres thunder and lightning, usually it wouldnt bother me but when im in a tent uder a tree its not very good and the worst thing was that i had forgotten to put the little flap at the top of my tent down so i stred to feel bits of rain so i jhad to run outside in my cloak(im not kidding it was an actual cloak with a hood)and put the thing down

XD

XD, I wouldn't mind it unless it was a tropical storm or hurricane.

nope this was in canturbury in england but it was till pretty bad but it helped the next day becuase the air was cooler and we werent all dieing of heat stroke .............. I LOVE LARPING YAY

XD

hehe larping =p

I once slept in my mom's backyard in a tent, that is my tent now of course. I brought it over to Brittany's house once and we slept n it, I'm never sleeping over her hous again, unless her two demon sisters are on vacation or something. Erica was the most spoiled little brat i've ever met, and Anna was just plain annoyin'.

ive slept in our back garden in our tent loads of times its fun and toan do you actually know what larping is please say you do i have never met on here someone who actually knows what larping is without me having to explain it

you cauth me there, I just figured larping was a form of camping or somethin'

no it's like real life rping, right?

larping stands for live action role playing so yeah your right mars and you have to camp out were you are larping sometimes kelsey if its a two or three day event but some people drive home at the end of the day when its time out(when your no longer in charecter) and come back the next day if they live close enough but those lot are wimps its so much better to be able to camp out and then wake up in the wooded area and have breakfast and get dressed inot your ic clothes when IC time comes you are ready to fight (i mean it actually fight with expensive weapons made of foam with a special core and latex and they look really cool that you can hit people with since you get a certain amount of hits per location((no head shots))and there are so many different sorts of weapons maces clubs sword katanas battle axes throwing weapons bows crossbows someone once even had an orkbow its a brilliant event its like a play which you have to play in but you create your charecters(they have skill tables which you choose your first three level one skills from then you have to follow a certain path and learn skills from it)) and you have no idea whats gonna happen next in the play its so much fun since you get to interact with the others players and get lost in a completly different world

Ha! my grandparents just went shopping! I'm home alone! I'm gonna go blast my radio as loud as it possibly goes and listen to country music! Maybe Carrie Underwood's new song will come on. On air dj, Jeffery T Mason says the song scares him cause its about Carrie bustin' up her cheatin' boyfriends car! oh, and I totally agree with ya Akira, its boring to go camping in bits and peices rather than stay their for the entire period. Forget hearing it on the radio, I watched the vidio! you guys have to see the vidio for this song, its soo awsome! I'll try and post a link if I can, not to sure how to do it, but I'm a good problem solver. I can't figure out how to do it, but I'll tell ya'll how, go to music.aol.com, and where it says search, type carrie underwood and enter. the top of the page should show a small list of songs in blue, click "before he cheats video" you'll be so glad you did! I'm so hyped up on the video, I had to see it three times when I first saw it!

GRAGH! I hate calculus...

calculas? what is that exactly? I missed it there.

Hehe, I'm doing my math homework. I'm in AP Calculus...

oh, ok.

you don't have to worry about it until you're a senior in high school, although i'm in it and i'm a junior so... let's just say limits and derivatives and differentials are quite annoying

I guess that doesn't mean I'll be liking school anymore in the years to come, but college sounds kinda fun.

XD no school doesn't get much better... I luv it for the few friends I have but hate it cuz of homework, but yes I can't wait for college only 2 more years to go

It would be kinda neat to live on my own, even if I have to share my room with someone else. I can have parties and stuff on weekends and have fun goofing off with one another.

dotnwant to burst your bubble kesey but college and uni are really hard you may be able to go out to clubs and stuff but you will have to work your @$$ of if you wont to pass and it costs a hell of alot of money my brother just graduated and my sisters in her second year it is really difficult but there are perks

Heck Yeah! Lotsa fun! Do you know what you wanna be?

It doesn't cost money if you get good grades and get a scholarship, which I am working hard on. I know I'll have to study and stuff constantly, but the rest sounds cool. college would be the only form of school I'll probobly ever enjoy. My job doesn't truely require college, I wanna have reptile/alternative pet shows for kids, especially in foster care, I will also be a writer. writing may require it but the other thing doesn't. Its a good idea to go to college anyway.

I can't really afford college but I'm going anyway... C'mon Scholarships!

I'm gonna have my work cut out for me, I'm gonna live a good life somehow. College may not be required, but it doesn't matter, I'm gonna try hard to get there anyway.

Yay for determination!

not too sure about yay, but determination is the key there.

Determination is a great quality to have

Karate teaches determination and kinda breeds it. I've got my dreams and I plan to keep em', its not like I wanna be a celebraty or anything.

it depends on your situationif you can a scholarship and i know i sound like im nagging but it is just the truth I want to go to univerity and study either english or science and i may take art as well if it comes with it

I'm not to sure about art classes, being "taught" how to draw just seems to take away the talent. I prefer to go along and pick up bettter tricks as I go along. I never had one art class that taught me how to draw a dragon. I learned how to do scales, shading, and eventually fur and paws for many other creatures, all on my own, picking up little tips and insights as I go along, I consider that part of being a true artist.

I'm completely self-taught. Guess I shouldn't be an art teacher, then oO; But I DO take an art class. But I havn't learned anything about drawing mythology or horses or anything, so I guess I can still say I'm 'self taught'. Also, my art teacher does more pottery than drawing, soo...we work with clay a lot ^^

actually in uni and colloege you dont learn to draw you end up doing more research becuase if you wanted to be an art teacher you would have to know about different artists and styles but you wouldnt technically have to be an amazing artist its the same thing with P.E you would probably be spending more time learning about the body and what not instead of running when i said i would take art i was thinking more about going into more depth into arts history and stuff so i could observe older artists and there styles but i probably wont take it since english or science will be hard enough

@Aiolos- I'm self-taught too!My art teacher at school told me I was his 'easiest' student as he'd just drop paper in front of me and let me get on with it!*cackle*..Personally, I think we all have something new to contribute, if everybody was taught to draw the same, it would be extremely dull!

Self-taught here too.

im self teaching myself since im still really cr*p but i am now getting really good at drawing anime

im alright at anime i started drawin it about a week ago and im not bad, ive been drawing dragons for about 3 months i still suck but i am getting better, i think]

I've been trying to draw anime but I stink at it right now

Well one thing about anime is its a very free flowing art if you can draw anything like raven with all the details you will have a very hard time drawing it. Force of habit I suppose anime actually has very little detail in there characters a lot of it is about shadding. Only time you probably will use a lot of detail / design is with back round objects or special items but even then its difficult to duplicate it because its the same flash picture you need to draw over and over.

i like drawing the people and everything with the big eyes and small noses and mouths its became my style of drawing faces

I've been drawing animals since I can remember and I've always hated drawing people so it makes it tough...

I personally Have problems with the smaller bits on people hands and feet unless its gloved or shoed... Other than that its not that hard kinda flows naturally, I'm more of an editor though and play with semi finished products.

I can draw anime and dragons, your probably thinking 'yeah right' because I have no proof, because I never send in my pictures.

Course not! Your self portrait is really good, I believe ya ^_^

Thanks Marsy! *glomp*

Actually, this one's pretty good, Raven. If I had to post my best artwork on this site, it wouldn't be as good as this!

Thanks!I spent a long time on this one.

This one's my fav ^^

This is really awesome raven. like all your other work. HOW CAN YOU BE SO AWESOMELY GOOD?!?!?!?!?!?! AND...AND...Sheesh, forget college, you could get like major moolah just by drawing dragons, cuz they are sooooo awesome!!!!

Yeah, you'd be really good at it.

I'd love to!I did a cristmas card when I was eleven,I haven't had anything published since.Recently my work was included on a website with Ciruleo and a few other artists..Things have been quiet for a bit.I'd definitely have a go at illustrating if I got a chance!

Coolie-o! Well, when I get my first break, would you illustrate MY book? Or at LEAST do the cover.

You would be sooooooo awesome!!!! Illustrate my books any time!!
