Okay, so I have a ton of photos from my winter break, which was a blast. Here's the thing, I'm in sports and it takes out two hours of my time and is rather exhausting. So, I'll try to post some stuff tomorrow, but I barely got done with homework and it's 10PM. And I still have to do dishes. I'd prefer to have enough sleep during the school week (which usually happens once a week if I'm lucky) so just one day and I'll be telling you about my break.
Also, did any of you guys go out of state? Country? Comment if you can. Some people say that they can't comment on Blogger. I'll double-check my settings to make sure anyone can comment. So, things have been rather silent from my readers. Really, what did you guys do? I wanna know. I can say this, zumba is hard. I'll leave you with that and finish my chores.
Aww... I won't have time to paint my nails tonight... And I got some new colors too... T^T
Chow~!

SHLP and other Tasks
Well, pack your snow gear because winter break is here! If you're like me a still in school, that means that the week of fun has arrived. What I think is funny is that most people don't like it because it just reminds them that spring break isn't here yet. : /
I mean, what is it about spring break that makes it so special? I'm going to be going to Hawaii so that makes mine one to look forward to. I've never been there! Sad thing is, my mom won't buy an underwater camera for me and I want to save up my money for a 3DS, not a camera I'm not going to have a use for later on... >.<
But snorkeling sounds AMAZING!!! I'm so excited about that!! What's it like? Please tell me in the comments if you have!
Oh, and another thing. It's okay to comment. Some people have asked me for permission to do so. Go right on ahead! :D Feel free to express your opinion! I'm all ears.
I really don't have much else to talk about except about how much my SHLP has been a pain. Well, it's like writing an expository essay where you find the theme but instead of the teacher just giving the theme to you, you have to figure it out. Even worse, you have to relate the novel to do to the history topic it's on. I'll be busy with that this next week.
Once the week has gone by, I'll have the time to post again. I'm going to be with family and that's going to be fun. Hope your vacation will be just as good!

A Night at the Movies
As you may have guessed, I went to the movies within the time of this post and the previous. Yes, I went to see a nicely made, cheese, ROFL movie called "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island".
This is a movie for you si-fi lovers, as well as you Jules Verne lovers. I am one myself, a fan of 20,000 Leauges Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and any other works of his (which I have of yet to read). Now you must be thinking... "But what about the 3D event of Star Wars? That's worth talking about!" Yes, I will agree with you. Star Wars is amazing. I just don't see why going to an Imax theater is better than being home with your family and friends, watching it on your own television with quick access to that barbecue your parents, or yourself, made. Nothing beats a horde of die-hard Star Wars fans vegging out at home, cosplaying their favorite characters without the weird looks. Of course, if you go to the theater, you can have one heck of a time just as much. But even then I fail to see how this stirs up such devotion in fans... o.O
Oh well. We all have our things we rave about. :)
Anyways, the movie itself was funny, cheesy, and overly convient for the characters. The animation was good in my opinion, but I'm not much for looking closely for mistakes of things out of the ordinary. It actually begins where the most recent version of Journey to the Center of the Earth leaves off so that was rather interesting. I'd say its a movie that you want to go with your friends once, and maybe get it on DVD, or Blue-Ray if you have the right player. It really depends if you like the book and if your a fan of cheesy si-fi movies. The characters were more appealing to me than the last movie, which falls out of the trend of the first movie being the best and the next ones descending in epicness. That's my opinion anyway. I don't want to give away anything that I already have for the sake of spoilers so I refuse to tell more upon the subject, unless you request it. I do suggest you read Verne's books though. It helps. A LOT.
I also wish to brighten up today's post with a photoshop project that me and a friend of mine collabed on. He did most of the work though. Enjoy! We got the brushes for the effects off a photoshop freebie website. I forgot to bookmark the page so I can't share it... But I did find a website just as good. It's called brushezzy.com.

Art, art, and More art!
I've really been into this coloring contest lately so I did this some time ago. I have to say, it's not all that bad. I'm glad my mom likes it because it was for her birthday. :)
http://holyworlds.org/artwork/gallery/art.php?id=4f2ddd8b47563&c=6&s=
I also do some digital too, but not good enough that I would post it. I really don't think I want to at this moment. I saw a really good tutorial for making a 3D planet scene on YouTube yesterday! I'm still playing around with it... I'm not sure if I'm going to post the end result or not. :P Here's the link anyhow. You'll need Photoshop in order to do it, but it comes out looking so cool! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HHNOPzpjq4&feature=related
Story Update: The plot has been altered dramatically. I am considering having the main character loose her memories and the story begin in the midst of a ton of action. So... I'm excited and really nervous if this is going to work out. Still excited though!! My favorite recently developed character is Ritz. She's a bounty hunter who not only looks cool, but has a whip as a weapon. C'mon, how could a protagonist have a whip and NOT be cool??? She's a skatros, a very large hawk creature, as big as you and me with a very LARGE wingspan. Here's a link to a digital piece I did of her. Oh look... I'm actually sharing my digital art. How unexpected. http://holyworlds.org/artwork/gallery/art.php?id=4f2ef6267c733
Feel free to check out the related art if you wish!
So that's today's post. Not much for me to rant about. Well... This weekend was interesting. I went to a missionary conference last Saturday and it was quite interesting. The food was good too. This one person went to (oh what was it... tripping on the name. It started with a 'b' and was heart shaped... oh well). I will say, what people do out there is pretty fascinating. I wish I had more details but to be honest I was a bit restless and didn't absorb too much. :(
I saw some old friends there so that was good!
You know... I did learn something at church the day after though. There was this hymn we were singing... And it really pointed out to me something that had been getting at me without even noticing it. Pride. All these thoughts of books and being good at art has really gotten to me lately the more I think about it. If there is one thing I don't want is to be an overstuffed peacock strutting everywhere. I already know how annoying it is to be around someone like that. So that's my word of wisdom today.
Enjoy the warming weather!

I Like Art
Hello again to all my faithful slave- *ahem* I mean followers of my blog. It's been a rather normal week, despite the odd increase of attention from those of the opposite species- I mean gender. Perhaps this is due to Valentine's Day that's coming up? How should I know..? Oh well. I personally couldn't care less, save that it can get rather annoying... >_>
While this is all going on I'm having trouble figuring out my classes for next year. Should I go into AP Bio? AP Chem? AP Physics? Well, at least I will be getting into Art without a doubt! :)
Speaking of art... I've been self-teaching myself for about... a year now. I have a ton of friends who are awesome at drawing so I got jealous and decided to get something for people to "oooh" at. I'll be honest, it wasn't the best motivator but drawing is really fun! Besides, competing with my friends is fun too. What's even better is when a friend and I work on a project together, a mix of different skills and talents. That's super fun!! Okay... Sorry. I had a ton of sugar today. :P
A friend of mine was hyper after having some painkiller for his poor legs and that was probably the best conversation I ever had with him. When I'm hyper and other people are excited and happy it's just a ton of fun. We were mostly talking about scuba-diving and how he was wrestling some big fish. I'll tell you, that made me crack up. Wrestle a fish?? I wanna see that on Youtube bro!
Book wise... I'm still in the revision process. I'm having to change some pretty foundational aspects so... Yea. It's going to be a pretty radical change to the story. Oh boy...
Oh, I did something for a coloring contest lately and wanted to share. I said I liked art right? Well, here's a piece that I like to call... *silence for dramatic effect* "Twili Flare"~!

By the way... I took a photo of it instead of scanning it. For some reason it doesn't pick up the brighter colors. But maybe that's just me... Also, the dragon and the egg were not done by me. They were the templete for the contest, like a page in a coloring book. I'm working on another entry right now.
Oh, I saw this on Facebook and thought I'd share it. Don't spoil what you see! Look closely and let me know if you figured it out. It's freakingly creepy!!
Until next time folks!
