Woohoooo~~ I've got my own Blogger account now~ XD And it resides on a rather nice URL, too ^^~ Well, anyway, as it is already very late and my eyes are way too strained, I'll just welcome anybody wanting to read all these pieces of junk that are my opinions. As the URL is a forwarding URL, I do hope you bookmark it, so if in any case my main site goes down unexpectedly, I can always post announcements and such here. I actually wanted this to be something more "personal", as in for my RL friends and such, but oh well ^^~ I think it'll be my online diary for-all-to-see after all XD~ I have a math exam tomorrow, and goodness, I hadn't even thought about it all day long. NOW I am appropriately worried >P It's Geometric Transformation. Not too hard, really, but lot of things to be memorized O_o Gahh... I am so tired... Yesterday my class had a basketball match versus a junior class, and I participated in the girls' match. Gracious, we lost by ONE point; how sad is that?? >< Then I worked till late at night finishing a drawing, and boy, am I exhausted *_* So now, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I am gonna SLEEP.

I actually managed to score a ten on the Geometric Transformation exam. How I did, I definitely do NOT understand ^^;;; Just when I thought I was failing it XD~~~ Wheee~ ^.^ Hmm... I am planning to start a new manga. A short one. I find that a manga as long as In the Night does not do a beginner mangaka like me good O_o It's much easier to start with short ones, and begin with the basics. And that's what exactly I'm planning to do right now ^^~~ No computer effects will be evolved (except for the really necessary ones :P). I _will_ continue In the Night (not that anybody'll miss it though :P) after I have sufficient experience which I'm hoping to get by doing this short manga. It's gonna be shoujo I think :P Yeah, yeah, laugh while you can. You will soon CRY when you see the actual thing (disgusted cry, not amazed cry +D)~ Now the only thing I need is motivation to start it... *_* Today I don't feel very good. I really don't. I feel like I have no purpose of living. Like Darren of Savage Garden would say: I exist, but I don't live; I'm just running through my life. I don't know what I'm doing. God, I feel like I am LOST. Nothing that I do feels right or good. Is it just because I'm having a freaking PMS (though I don't think so?), or is it the signs that my life has become extraordinarily boring? I don't know... What I know is, I really want to be able to do something that I like from the bottom of my heart for life. Something that doesn't have to be big, but matters. Something that is of my own will, not forced by others. I guess life isn't that easy though, ne? ^^;;

I _finally_ bought Painter 6~~! And it's really (I mean REALLY) great XD XD It's a bit complicated, but I'm learning~~ Wheeeeee~~~ ^.^ Loads of brushes and textures and whatnots to be used >D It's also got layers~! I'm gonna dump my Painter Classic right now ^_____^

Painter 6 turns out to be better than I expected XD~ I wonder how I managed to stand all the un-effectiveness of Painter Classic :P The only thing I don't understand, though, is how the heck do people put backgrounds _under_ the wet layer. I almost killed myself trying to figure that out (really, I was way too frustrated -- especially since I was actually supposed to be studying Chemistry, not doodling anything on the computer *_*). In the end, I had to stick some foggy-blurry thing just to make sure there IS something to be seen as a background :P I read on Saka's Painter tutorial that I was supposed to apply the background _before_ painting on the wet layer, but since I always do backgrounds last, I completely forgot to O_o Anyone have any idea?

Painter 6 is making me draw all day long now~ I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing T_T I just can't resist coloring all the sketches I managed to doodle, not even the sucky ones. Whoah. And just a few weeks ago, everyone was all "why have you stopped drawing?" and "have you, like, died?" because I didn't produce enough art O_o Anyway.... you know what, people? If you've been to my site or have chatted with me before, you'd know that I have an original character whose name I like to use as my nick, Pyreon (well, for those of you who don't, check the original arts sub-section for pictures of it :P). The name was something I made up, because I don't like using common names that somebody else already uses. I have just found, my God, that a freaking company has registered pyreon.com, and this particular freaking company is now putting the domain up for a freaking auction, with the minimum amount of $1,500 or something around it. Holy cow, am I FURIOUS. FYI, the freaking company is domaincollection.com, and for crissake, I'm NOT linking it. Its only purpose is buy nice-sounding domain names and then put them up for auctions. No doubt they're expecting wacko users who would like to spend more than two thousand bucks just for a domain name they actually could have bought for $35 a year at most. Or probably users who find that their only choice of domain names are held in such auctions. Why would such a company exist? It's EVIL, I'm telling you. Gracious... I was planning to buy pyreon.com when I ran the search. I could have accepted if the fact was that some other company or person used the name for business or something, but to put it up in a very unreasonably-priced auction??? Eeeeeviiiiiiiiiiil >_< *sob*

....I am sleepy =_= I've got a rather big project currently-- making and launching my school's official website O_o Gah... I haven't even finished the design, I've got to buy the domain name, I've got to find a good host, I am tired, and I've got physics exam tomorrow. Just great.
