Special story for you guys.
So, I was out walking my dog around the pond before work the other day, and stopped at a picnic table to soak up some sun. I was shortly joined by a small child, maybe between one and two years old, and with the cutest blonde hair. His mother did not say much to me and I did not understand the language they spoke in, but we enjoyed each others company. I assume they were at the table before and had gone for a little walk, because there was a collection of dandelions already sitting on the table that the boy was immediately interested in. He climbed onto the table and gave one to me. I was surprised (why are such beautiful, small acts of kindness only found in children these days?) and took it graciously. Eventually he took it away, to be scolded by his mother, but then I knew what he wanted. He gave me a different one and demonstrated smelling it dramatically, so I smelled it. Have you ever smelled a dandelion? They actually smell better than many flowers! I gave that one back and he handed me another one, and he let me smell each dandelion from the collection. Eventually I really had to leave for work, so I thanked them both and went on my way. Remember, enjoy the little things, even when you think they're just weeds. Everything has a sweet side.

Would you believe this was the best skin I found
When my computer is working again I am going to figure out how to make these shits and they will be beautiful, because going through that was depressing.
I might start with airplanes or something actually cool.
And not My Little Pony (oh, sorry internet, I mean, definitely MLP. Grow up.)
ohlol
"GROW UP. USE CUTE MONSTER SKINS INSTEAD."
Anyway

Yeah. Have I made an actual journal in a while?
have some art since the last
Blue Dress Red Rose by Joyose Calling You by Joyose Mistletoe by Joyose

Yeah. Don't expect anything special. I don't want to load all my stuff onto mum's computer and well. Yeah.
Also :iconyoungbutinspired:, I am so sorry. The past month has been like, "Let's not use the internet! Or have a life at all! I love school!"
I promise I'll do better.

I wish this skin was less line-y

SO
OF ALL THINGS.
I really need $2 on paypal. Like desperately, and soon. Please send help.
Tbh; it's for a game. AND I NEED IT.
I'm honest, love me;;;
I'd like to say I have an easy-peasy link for you but I don't know how it works so just
message me or something. I think it works through email. Idk. Worst comes to work I'll put a button on Rei's website.
Send what you can ladies

JK DON'T DO THAT.

Anyway would anyone care if I said I would do commissions?
Because idk

I'm babysitting these two dogs while mine is away. They snarf down their gourmet meals like wooooooo
I'm trying not to alter their eating schedule too much but this involves getting up an hour earlier than usual. I do hope you see the problem with this.
They're just daarlings, until they hear something or see a dog or cat (Or, evidentally, dinosaurs) on the TV.
So.
I like Molly better, because she is okay with walking on dirt pathways rather than sidewalks (unlike Sadie) and also because Molly listens to me more.
Also I updated my phone. I heard their was something different about the texting, but I. Don't. Know. What. I'm going to go ahead and assume it's just that passport thing and a screwed up maps app, where google did just fine with.
w/e

comment if you'd give a shit if I did commissions. Until then, I'll do 3 legit requests but don't expect anything good.
(Apparently I had art block this summer. That's really shitty.)

I dunno. I feel very whimsical.

Small things that have happened so far this year:
I've started drawing faces and people without deforming them.
Dr.Pepper is my new favourite drink ever.
I've become more active with YoungButInspired as a mod and like. Feature-writer person. It's fun and provides a chance to look through ALL THE ART. Which is great.
I turned 16. This is a small thing because it was predicted to happen ANYWAY since the day I was born. Unless I were to die but I didn't so it's just like "Yeah kay." With this, I got my learner's License. This is small because people only care because they're scared of me. All normal people drive or are going to drive, so. I haven't hit anybody yet, don't worry.
I baked a cake last night. I'll post crappy iPhone pictures if you want me to. It's kind of awesome looking. Which is radical, because I was just trying to cheat my usual icing method. +1 icing method acquired!
My freaking walls are absolutely covered in my friend's art. He raided my house while I was away and hung up all of his sketchbooks up on it, including the cover art. Personal note: find a way to keep heavy cardboard from falling off my wall. THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE LIKE, "OH HOW DO YOU SLEEP WITH SO MUCH STUFF ON YOUR WALL~" I say, "HOW DO YOU SLEEP WITH YOUR EYES OPEN AND THE LIGHTS ON. WHY CAN YOU EVEN SEE YOUR WALLS."
They also happen to be covered in dried lilacs. I think they're simply dead. I call them dried.
On the topic of plants in my bedroom, I also have a tree. It's a type of bamboo. It was supposed to be wind resistant. It's not. It broke. I brought it inside. It stands by being wedged between my floor and my ceiling. Hopefully if I end up moving, my mum will let me keep it. If not, I'll have to make somebody babysit it until I can sneak it in >:3
I might end up moving this year. Oh wait that's a big thing.
I went through a mild art block. It's okay now, I have a whole list of things I want to draw or paint mostly draw probably only draw. I wrote them down
I have become more aware of the fact that I have to cook in my later years. I've begun saving recipes I find. I also learned how to make macoroni and cheese sans KD box. I'm proud of something I should have learned a long time ago. It's really good though. I don't use KD ever ever ever anymore.
Downloaded Rainmeter. My desktop is super pretty and clean now. Using some scripts from the Sentence series thing what's that called? Compiled it with some personal stuff and edits and whatnot.
Went to the Vancouver art gallery, only to find that they only had one floor open. Because they are assholes disorganized people who didn't make it very clear on the WEBSITE that they were CHANGING all the ART I wanted to LOOK AT. And don't get me wrong, the one floor was lovely. Only it was supposed to be an autobiography of the gallery AND THUS WAS VERY HISTORIC AND BORING WITH LITTLE WHOLENESS OF CONCEPT. Last time I was there, they had cool mirror things and this huge story thing that was all tangled up and you had to figure out the pattern and then you could read it and it was very empowering to read just the words in itself. My dad couldn't figure it out and was thus not as entranced by it. I would love to see that thing again, however I don't have the time or resources to scour the world for it.
Bought the cutest dress. I can't wear it to nice things because it's really short and I don't want to pull on it all the time, but it's lovely. I'm wearing it right now, just cause I can.
Started a little collection of framed art in my hallway. Mum is using one wall for her photos, and I am using the other for my drawings (and paintings) So far I'm winning at a tally of 4 drawings and an old photo I never took down from before we started, to 0. Actually 1. 5:1, final answer.
Oh gross guys, my dishwasher sounds like it's breaking.
Went to Tofino and California (including Disneyland, Universal Studios and the San Diego Zoo) I saw pandas and whales.
RPers: I made characturs hurdurdur Characters on the right side

Question: Which whimsical drawing should I draw for you?

So I guess I'm due for a new journal. I just didn't want to get rid of my pretty skin LOL.
I'll write one next week. For now, enjoy this!
:iconyoungbutinspired: held a contest, and as one of the mods I promised I'd help out with prizes, give out llama badges and write features, things like that. Here are features for each of the winners (and don't take me for granted, they do all have pretty neat galleries to look through!)
Y'all might recognize this from the features I write for the group, too. Yeah. It's exactly the same. No, it doesn't include the honourable mentions. But it should. Go look at them here: youngbutinspired.deviantart.co…

:iconayamemarquis: won our painting/drawing category, their gallery filled with delicious pieces of art, excellent in concept and composition, and makes good use of some of my personal favourite art mediums ;)
:thumb280393993: ...Where you can't hide by AyameMarquis Scream of the butterfly by AyameMarquis

:iconevalithimortality: won the photgraphy (and photo-manipulations, mind you) category with a piece that definately stood out from the rest.. Just like everything in the rest of her gallery!
Killer headache? by Evalithimortality BW skull by Evalithimortality Jax by Evalithimortality

:iconem0------girl: won our literature category with some writing that really plucks at the senses.
