Well, I thought I would write another entry for the last day of the year... Things have been busy, because I'm working almost every night (have to work tonight too! X__x It will be so busy... *whines*), so I only have the days free... but I only stay home because everyone is too busy or too far away. I haven't even seen Return of the King yet, and everyone has already seen it, or is too busy to see it with me. So I am going to go today, by myself, to see it. >_>

Hmm, I finally got my plushies of Phoenix and Aether... They don't look much like the characters, and Phoenix has Aether's name stitched on his stomach wrong and he doesn't even have his bandana or collar. X_x Still, I kinda feel tender (what an odd word for me to use!) towards them, especially Phoenix. He's quite huggable (wow, another word I would never use!). It's odd, that I would hug Phoenix-plushie, but not Aether-plushie. Blah, I wouldn't even consider hugging Aether-plushie. His mismatched eyes are creepy and he's just not the huggable tupe. >_> Baka Aether! I feel sorry for Phoenix that Aether isn't huggable. Aether is the type that would molest you and force you to submit to him, but he really isn't the type of person you would HUG. *Sigh* Poor, poor Phoenix. Can't even hug his boyfriend.

Anyway... I have been most slack about giftart... I haven't finished Kyo yet, and haven't even started on EE's piccy. I have done some profile pics, but that's it... If you want to see them, they're on deviantART... Blah. I haven't even written any more of Divinitas since I updated before Christmas... I've been kinda busy with a picture of Kamui that I'm doing just as a thankyou piccy and because it's fun... Am CGing it in Painter 6, which Annie gave to me ages ago. ^_^ It's more fun than CGing in PhotoShop. The brushes are much nicer. Me likes lots. ^_^

Well, I hope the new year brings new inspiration for me. I've been in a bit of a slump and doubting my own talent... Ah, how am I to make a living as an illustrator, I will never know. My tutors in my illustration class really have no idea what I'm up against... I certainly don't deserve the high distinctions I get in that subject - not when my art is *nothing* compared to some of the work people post on DA, not to mention on net as a whole. That's why I'm kinda indifferent to the priase people give me. It doesn't mean much because I know I'm very much average compared to others. Ah well. I will stop complaining now and watch some anime with my Phoenix-plushie. Aether-plushie can remain by himself on the bed. >_>

Knight-kun pressured me into naming my fighter fish. It is now Maiougi, meaning "dancer's fan", and we're calling it Mai-chan for short. It was all Knight-kun's idea. Blah. Well. I went out today and finally got a snail for the tank, so now it's crawling around sucking at stuff and making Mai-chan piffy at it. I don't think Mai-chan likes sharing his personal space.

Anyway! On NeoPets.com, Seme Aether won first prize in the beauty contest in the Uni division!!! He got a pretty gold trophy and I got 10K. ^_^ Nice...

*Sigh* As for the evil sketch, I am still working on it... Adding the BG now and other small details...

Tomorrow... I turn 21. Gah. Too old. I wish I was younger, if only so I could be younger but still at my current level in arty-skills. Just surfing DA, there are some totally amazing artists who are only 14-16 years old. Ahhh... Jealous jealous! ^_^;;; Oh yeah! Will gave me a wooden hand model for my b-day. It is nice, but it doesn't move enough... Can't get it to do stuff that the hands in my pictures do. o_O Oh well. It makes a nice display item in a studio. Meow.

Hmmm... When people say Phoenix and Aether had "sex"... I feel... odd about it. I don't like that word in reference to what they do in their relationship. I much prefer "fucked." o_O I can't quite explain why. I mean, "fucked" is supposedly a worse word than "sex"... But I guess, to me, it isn't. It's not bad to me. I'm not offended by it. And somehow, I just think "fucked" describes my Aether's and Phoenix's relationship much more appropriately than "sex." ^__^ I'm not making much sense, am I?

Anyway! I hope EE doesn't read this and get offended by my use of language. Or anyone for that matter! Hahahaha! Oh yes, I joined a club on DA today. BishieCrrusaders! ^__^ I've noticed people whose work I browse often were part of clubs, so I decided it was time I joined one! ^_^

Meow. Anyways, I've been sketching the past two days... Unfortunately, not CGing Trinity-sama's picture as I should be... X___x But this picture! O___O I think it has to be my most complex piece so far. There is just... too much detail. Bloody wings. >___> Didn't Aether-sama cut off his own wings long ago? Then why the hell does he have wings now?! *Hisses* And I just realised... Aether-sama is a total hentai when it comes to Phoenix. >___> How did his katana just happen to be pushing up Phoenix's skirt-thingy to show more leg... >___> I didn't plan this!!! *Scratches at it* Evil, evil!!! ... Okay, I submit. I will go back tgo working on the stupid sketch now... *Sniffs* So mistreated...

~ Caleyndar @ 11:08pm

EE joined DA! Finally! After much punching and proding (that had absolutely *nothing* to do with me, btw!), she is finally part of the DA community! Yay! I'm stalking her too. ^_^

Mmm... Work yesterday was slow and boring. At work, time always seems to past more slowly. It is evil. >_> As usual I played around on NeoPets, but nothing good happened. *Sigh*

About NeoPets... >_> Why does everyone assume SemeAether would like girls? I just got my second neomail asking me if I would want SemeAether to RP with blah-blah uni, who is female. *I* have no death wish, so I will graciously deline on SemeAether's behalf and leave SemeAether to, ugh... "play" with his UkePhoenix. >_>

Blah. And I just signed up for a year's subscription with DA. So I could use their serach function again. The good thing is that the messages are now easier to view, so on a whole, I rather like. ^_^

Oh, I'm going back over to Penrith home in a bit because of the leakage. >___> Why me. WHY???

~ Caleyndar @ 11:13am

What a day. First, it's PMS. Then, we find out the house leaks. And blah, PMS makes me feel shitty and crap. Not to mention that the storms are electrical and the power surges keeps on making my PC shut down. ^__^ It is really bloody annoying. I'm thankful my laptop has battery power so it doesn't do that... I do all my work on my laptop - PC is just for net.

Blah. Anyway. Yesterday Patty and I went over to my uni place (and we found out the house leaks >_>) and were attacked by a lizard and a cockroach. O_O It was most scary, and the cockroach just wouldn't die! But at least we chased the lizard out of our domain! Mwahahahaha! Patty cooked a very yummy pasta for dinner, which we finished off this morning for brunch (yes, of course we got up late... sleepovers does not require one to get up early!). We didn't get around to making out little neopets... >_> But did you expect us to? We ended up watching a few eps of Invader Zim, and saw Elf at the movies. X__x IZ was most silly and insane. Elf was... christmas-y. ^_^;;; But funny too!

I only got home around 3pm today, and am being made to work tonight. X_x AND I have work tomorrow. I am going to be tired... I just want to work on my writing and my arty stuff. Blah.

~ Caleyndar @ 4:17pm

Wee! Updating again! ... >_> Anyway. Today I brought a Fighter Fish. It's an ornamental fish. There only to look pretty. o_O It doesn't move very much though. Blah... But I only have to change the water once every 3 months and feed it once very two days. Low maintenance! ^_^ Mmm... I need to give it a name.

Mmm... I've started building my neohome. o_O I want to buy lots of furniture to put onto it! It's actually quite fun, even though you can't really do anything with your neopets in it. Pooie. I tried begging Knight-kun to gimme some NeoPets stuff for x-mas, but she said no. And if that wasn't bad enough, she's being really strict about what I can and can't do for her Loki picture. *Huffs* It's not fair. >_>

Tomorrow I'm going back to my uni place. Patty's going to sleep over and we're going to make clay neopets together! o_O You need not say it is sad. I know it is sad. But it will be fun?

Blah. I finially got over 1000 page views on DeviantArt.com. X_x My stuff sucks that badly. It took almost a year to get 1000 page views. Hnnnn... Eh, whatever. I wanna go watch anime now. o_O

~ Caleyndar @ 11:27pm

Ehhh... It has been a while, no? ^_^; Well, I'm on summer break now, and ugh, yeah. Working on gift requests and stuff just for me, art wise. Writing... seems to be lagging a bit, but oh well. Hahaha.

Yeah. Animation project. I finished in time, and handed it in. Haven't gotten my offical marks back from any of my subjects yet though. Dunno when they come out... But my university is pretty slack about stuff like that. X_x

Mmm... What else. Well, it looks like I will keep on living by myself in that 3 bedroom house. o_O Since Will decided to defer for a year even if he gets in. Blah. Whatever.

Still staying at home atm... I will probably move out completely after this year... Playing NeoPets a lot. That might explain the total lack of updates to Divinitas and everything else... But blah. I'm not updating Divinitas much because I don't feel pushed to. No one bugs me about it, so I get the impression its not very popular anymore, and being told it's going downhill has put me in a bit of a slump. But nevermind. I'll work on it in my own time, if only because I want to know what happens when all is said and done. ^_^

Hehehe. EE's art is really improving a lot of late. I really like her stuff now days. I always hope to get some fanart from her, but she's totally obsessed with Kadzuki and Juubei from GetBackers atm (so much so that I've been told to draw them for her. >_>) so I guess there's not much hope of that. ^____^; Oh well.

Blah. I will try to update more and make a habit of reading other people's blogs again. I must stop being so lazy! ... But I am SO obsessed with NeoPets.com. o_O I want donations! I'm beggging! Rare items, NPs! Anything! Actually, I really want millions of NPs so I can buy Hidden Tower items. I'm a Battledomer person. o_O *Sobs* I'm so sad. X_x
