My Generic LJ Journal

A moth just tried to fly up my nostril. While I was in bed. Nearly asleep. *rage*

I guess I could have just tweeted that, really.

Bamf!

Lol. Juftchue. Whoops.

Sorry it's not very good quality later, I need a better microphone =/ And occasionally I'm a little off.

There are 5 houses each with a different color. Their owners, each with a unique heritage, drinks a certain type of beverage, smokes a certain brand of cigarette, and keeps a certain variety of pet. None of the owners have the same variety of pet, smoke the same brand of cigarette or drink the same beverage.

Clues:

* The Brit lives in the red house.
* The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
* The Dane drinks tea.
* Looking from infront, the green house is just to the left of the white house.
* The green house's owner drinks coffee.
* The person who smokes Pall Malls raises birds.
* The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
* The man living in the center house drinks milk.
* The Norwegian lives in the leftmost house.
* The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
* The man who keeps a horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
* The owner who smokes Bluemasters also drinks beer.
* The German smokes Prince.
* The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
* The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

I don't think LJ has spoiler tags, so message me? Or wait a couple of days before posting the answer.

In other news, my right eye has been rather itchy all day, and watery. =

I hate writing. I do.
Physically handwriting, that is. I just. Can't. Do it. Not fast enough to be useful.

And this has really fucked me over, academically. It wasn't a problem at the start. I wrote a little less than everyone else, but I'm intelligent enough to still get my point across. But now that people are writing between six (low end) to twelve (high end) pages and I can barely scrape out three in an hour, it's not making things easy.
Especially with English. It is one of my favourite subjects; I love analysing texts, delving into meanings. But none of that matters when all the knowledge I've collected can't be transcribed fast enough, making my essays make me look like I have a very minimal knowledge of what I'm talking about. Legal Studies also suffers because of this.
Hell, even art.
And I can't help it. It feels like I'm dragging an iron ball with my pen as I write, scraping out each letter. It's like starting a marathon winded; I can give it my best, but there's no way I'm going to do well. I've tried, too. I even changed my fucking writing style to try and increase my speed, to no avail.
I just hate that I'm being held back, being made to look so fucking stupid, because of something I can't prevent. I wish I could be one of those kids whose words can just flow from their pen, but even when I know exactly what I want to write it'll take about a minute to write a sentence.
Fuck, I wish I could type. I type at something like seven times my writing speed. I don't feel like my body is lagging after my mind, I can type as the words come.


TL;DR I fucked up in English, can't do English Extension because of it and now feel like complete shit.

I detest my phone.

I can't wait until the 1st.

Whoever thought of making an exam worth 100% of the course mark is an idiot.

Also, why must the units I be behind on be the hardest to learn of the set. Dx

Nearly done! Just need to iron, slipstitch a little of the lining, then sew on buttons!
Then style the wig, of course. But... Not the night before wtf!?

I recently entered the Woollahra Council Youth Photographic Award, which also had my work entered in the People's Choice variant of the award. If you feel like voting for me, that would be great <3

Mine is photo 30 from gallery number 2. The colour washed out a little, sadly.

The voting instructions are on that page <3

This is the original, so that you can easily identify it <3

Thank you so much~

My Sebastian so far... Sans wig Dx

My sewing patterns arrived! I can stop worrying now!

Back to sewing!

... Right after dinner!

Oh, my waistcoat is looking gorgeous :3

I think my stomach has moved on from eating itself to eating my lungs and heart.

Ow. Pain.

But Kuro is slightly disturbing.

Very dark.

I'm loving it. <3

Good luck Catty, Tsubaki. Knock 'em dead <3

You're an inspiration to many cosplayers. Hell, you guys are almost kinda famous now! And you deserve it, with your skill and talent.

I wish I could be there to cheer you guys on.

Love you both~<3

Wake up early. Have shower, get dressed, pack bag and leave for SMASH meeting. Arrive at Town Hall at five past nine, no one was there.

But then I saw Mai, who was going to meet Jess and Tom where Jess had parked. And the day went up! Got to spend time with Mai, then Mai, Jess and Tom. Went for training, was dubbed the "super volunteer" due to my pseudo-committee status for the day. Saw people I hadn't seen for a while, went and got cupcakes and hot chocolate with Jess (om nom nom they were so nice) then had to give my little bit of training to the arcade guys. "Don't touch the ITG machine, nor the Stepmania machines. That's all." Spent a little bit more time with Tom (<3) then had to go to work.

On the bus, I saw someone with red contacts. "Oh my god it's Nadleeh and Madara!" It was nice to see them and chat a bit. They're really nice xD Then I had work.

It was a little eh, but overall today was made of so much win :3

I've started drawing again! It's nice to do it. I'm trying to get a drawing done once every two nights.

Once school starts again and I actually have access to a scanner, I may do a mass upload. =D

For now...

1. Chocolate Strawberry Ciel - Lineart done, to be coloured.

2. The Disapperance of Hatsune Miku - Lineart: Done. Although I think I need to fix up the legs, that can wait.


This shall be updated as I see draw more!
