Whoops! Did not realise how neglectful I've been of my deviantart account. Probably because I've been hanging out elsewhere.

Did I miss anything?

Hello everyone,

I haven't been on for a while - blame going overseas, Christmas, floods, getting a job, starting uni, etc. I probably won't be on all that much anymore. It's not that I don't like you guys anymore, I just hang out elsewhere without all the drama that DA seems to be increasingly having. If I get any new, decent pieces done, I'll post them here, but I've kind of dropped off in the drawing department. I'll start something, get really excited about it, and then stop and not get excited to finish it. Also, I'd really like to get a more realistic feel going for my style. I suppose the real reason I've dropped off DA is because you know me for my anime/manga-esque "style" and I don't really want to be stuck with that. I've moved on in terms of tastes. I'll still always have a special place in my heart for anime/manga, but for me to be interested in it, it has to really appeal to me, and not a passing fad/trendy anime that I'm swept up more by the aura or excitement surrounding it as opposed to the actual material. Not saying that mainstream stuff is crap - there's excellent mainstream anime/manga out there - I'm just more picky about what I'm choosing to invest my time into. For example, cosplay. Nope, not anymore - I'll be slowly building off previous cosplays as I can afford it. Krad is not complete and he's racked up to be about $150 so far. Now that may not sound like much, but it's a lot for someone who doesn't do it as a "pro", have a large disposable income. It may sound selfish, but Krad doesn't really get recognised all that much - he's mistaken for Luke Valentine from Hellsing more often than not, and I don't feel that my efforts are appreciated. Speaking of cosplay, that relates to conventions, which are also expensive.

So yeah, that's it. In a nutshell, I'm being more picky about anime/manga, moving onto a more realistic style, scared that you won't accept it, and not going to conventions due to expenses.

Cheers,
Sno-Oki

GRADUATION!

1 min read
I DID IT. I DID IIIIIIT. Three years of IB hell! COMPLETE! F**K YEAH!

I graduated last night with my 51 classmates. :) Yep, that's the entire senior year. Yep, we're pretty small. That makes it better though, because we all know each other really well.

We got robes. ROBES. We graduated in ROBES! We were the first year to graduate in robes. We're the third year to graduate. (My school has only been running for four years).

SO YUP. I'M PUMPED (but I don't know what to do with myself.)

1. People peg me as a person who likes classical music. They are very, very, very wrong. I listen to high beat trance, techno, house, electronica, dance, remixes, symphonic rock, pop, punk, basically anything that's catchy, fun, dramatic or otherwise evokes strong emotion from me. Like movie soundtracks *coughhanszimmercoughdannyelfmancoughsplutter*. On the other hand, I really enjoy Romany folk music.

2. Speaking of Romany folk music...I'm quarter gypsy. I don't look it - I don't have the dark, chocolate eyes, and the brown, almost black hair.

3. I have fallen head over heels for the Sherlock Holmes fandom. I don't consider myself a true Holmesian...yet. I'm working my way through the books, and I've watched the '09 film, and the BBC 2010 series, plus an episode or two of the Granada series.

4. I am absolutely petrified of graduating from the IB in...4 days, 6 hours, and 55 minutes. I have two more exams to go, and then I won't ever have to read/write French again. It's more of the concept of leaving the safest and most accepting working environment I have ever been in, than not knowing what to do with myself.

5. Due to my new love of Sherlock Holmes, I am no longer upset that I have a screwed up right leg, and that I occasionally walk with a limp after an episode of muscle seizure. Thank you Doctor Watson :)

6. My eyes have been described by my mother as "stagnant chemical swamp water coloured". It was a joke, but I have found that's the best description of their colour I've ever come across.

7. Speaking of my eyes, I've been wearing glasses since I was nine or ten, and probably should have been wearing them since seven or eight. The good news is, the left eye has stablised and the right eye is almost stable. This means that they won't get any worse unless I do something stupid with them. Like read in the dark.

I hate contact lenses, but hockey makes them necessary.

8. I have learnt Indonesian, Chinese, German, and French in my various primary schools and high schools. None of them have stuck, except for some really terrible French. And people wonder why I'm not good with second languages...it's because I've had NO BLOODY CONSISTENCY!

9. I have a boyfriend now. :) He's ridiculously sweet, and gets flustered trying to put his arm around me. I love him to bits for the things he says/does. Like get all macho about going into Paranormal Activity 2, expecting me to be the one to freak out, and then freaking out badly himself. *hugs* He's MY psychologist in training.

10. I'm not tagging ten people. Only because I'm lazy and French calls for revision!
