    when arwen had blonde hair

    I’m tempted to remove my descriptions of my pictures from elfwood all together, since apparently nobody reads them. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten comments about how “Galadriel has blonde hair,” on my Arwen and Frodo picture, when it says quite clearly in my description that it is ARWEN and Frodo. I got another one yesterday, and…

    when i had a bad feeling

    Today I got to school and pulled into the parking lot behind the art museum (since at the time I get to school there is never any parking open in front of the school). As I was pulling into the parking lot, this white mustang that was sitting on the grass down a little ways pulled out, and came into…

    when there were boys loitering

    Lately I’ve been having a good time going around telling people “Hey, you know, I think you’d belong in Slytherin.” It gets people so riled up! It’s quite funny. Last evening I was going out to ride my bike, but I got out there and saw there were 4 or 5 boys just hanging around the end of the driveway.…

    when my art was on bootleg harry potter stickers

    I am so very amused! Tanja found my crappy artwork on some bootleg HP stickers (along with some other HP artists, too) I mention it because I find it funny, and besides the strange inclusion of my “Dumbledore Flips The Bird” picture, those stickers are NEAT. My favourite is the one with Harry’s head from the first movie poster with…

    when i was annoyed, yet again

    Person #37 who has pissed me off today: ‘Art Person’ who commented on one of my elfwood pics (one of the oekaki ones): “Dude you’re an awesome artist, but with all your pics you use crappy media, find a better program and you will be even more amazing” Let’s see. In that gallery I have- 2 Coloured Pencil 1 Crayon…

    when harry potter looked french

    That reminds me… something I’ve been meaning to mention. My all time favourite “critique” has to be the one from some guy on elfwood. (it was really more of a “strange comment” than a “critique”, but still) It was my Harry in the Rain piece: Person commented: “Good pic. But…. y does he look french?” That just cracks me up.…

    when i touched a baby kangaroo

    So last night we went to see About Schmidt, which I kinda liked but none of my friends did. But that’s not the point of this post. The point is, we went to one of my least favourite theaters: the new Cordova one, which is always *crawling* with 50,000 screaming teenagers. And last night, there were 70,000 screaming teenagers, cause…

    when there was a flood

    If you haven’t already, let me know if you want to get my Christmas card. Things I forgot to blog about Part 2: The Great Flood! Hmm, how long ago was it? Must have been 2 weeks yesterday, I think. I wrote a bit about it here, about how scary the drive home was. Lots of rain, lots of flooding……

    when somebody thought I worked at the fabric store

    So we stopped by Hancock’s this morning before going to my grandmother’s, because mom needed another Santa I guess. I went over to the pattern books and was looking for a cloak pattern, just to see how much fabric they recommended for it. I was going back and forth between the books and the pattern drawers, because I kept forgetting…

    when the temp went psycho

    I had a really bad dream last night… not like a nightmare, just really bad things happened, you know? I don’t want to think about it! Something weird happened at work today. It was about 15 minutes before lunch when some lady I’d never seen before came in. She went back and talked to one of the temps, and then…
