  1. Uni provides epson expression XL scanner for student use, free of charge and on a self serve basis. 18 years of drawing has culminated in this moment and thank goodness it did, I don't think my battered ego could take publishing another crappy photo of my art. Time to make a deviantart account.

      Pfft! good luck getting onto them without being seen, there's a window right next to the scanners! They would have much better luck with the copiers in the photocopy room. There's no windows there. And who the hell is drunk by 6pm anyway?

      Many, many people are drunk by 6pm. At which point windows cease to be a deterrant :D

  2. OMFG, LEECHES! LEECHES EVERYWHERE! They're crawling through the grass like a horde of blood sucking, hungry ants and showering down from the trees like droplets of black, squriming, biting rain! I don't like nature anymore, please take me home now!

      Yes, exactly! Only the kind of leeches you find on wall street DON'T FALL FROM THE SKY SEEKING YOUR LIVING FLESH!

      JayDee

      Clearly you've never been to wall street. All those dudes they said jumped during the big 1929 crash? They were just looking for snacks! Big human snacks!

      I resemble that remark... ::grins::

  3. Arg, anything I try to write is MELODRAMA! Why?

      You're the re-incarnation of Jean-Jacques Rousseau?

      I hope not, powdered wigs are seriously unflattering.

      I'll admit that my powdered merkin business isn't doing great, but I was just gonna blame the democrats

      I was referring to the dairy product. As in, coming from a female cow. Now I shall make an offhand comment about the havoc it wreaks upon my bowels in order to combat the mental image you've planted in my head.

  5. Now I remember why I never wanted a deviantart. I was excited to use an art forum to exchange ideas and feedback and what did I get? A bunch of elitist trolls who calls anyone who follows the etiquette rules a "n00b", throw foul insults at anyone who asks them to be polite and generally stomp all over anyone trying to have an honest to god discussion. There were good people buried under there somewhere I'm sure, but heavens above! Does that place not even have moderators?

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      If they do have moderators, it's not generally evident. Seriously, it's not a place for anyone who cares about art more than popularity and group think.

    2. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Oh, they do have 'em. Worthless lot, though.

    3. DemonsAngel

      They have them. One girl raised a stink about another girl stealing her art, when they didn't even look the same and were clearly different. Then her and a bunch of other people bullied the poor girl, so the mods made HER remove her work, instead of doing something about the bullies and lying bitch who accused her in the first place. So yes, they exist. They just suck.

  6. I have to draw 65 self portraits for my course. Sixty Five. I've only drawn 15 of them and I'm already sick of my face.

    1. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      Try to draw ten in chibi style? That way you can laugh at your face for a little bit.... *is honestly trying to help* :D

      The main idea is to experiment in medium and style, so I might give that a go. We are allowed to break things up with 5 sculptures, 5 digital pieces and 5 photos. I'm thinking of making a model of a brain from sculpy, sticking it into a jar of vinegar and labeling it Homo Aspergers or something like that.

  7. I can't believe I've been working on off on this chapter since may! And I started this story two years ago! Why can I never get anything done at a reasonable pace? Seriously, I write a lump of 7000 words in a sitting, but in five months I can't write a thing that actually moves the story forward. I have got to make a schedule or something or I'll never get anything done.

      It might help you to write non-chronologically and focus on some scenes you already know will come first, then work on the parts connecting those scenes second. Sometimes helps me.

    2. LockedBox

      Worth a go! It would definitely be more productive than just doing nothing, even if the scenes end up daisy chained together.

  8. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/specials/35137-live-action-fanfic-lay-your-head-down-darling Dear god. THIS is what happens when real people read real-person-fiction about them! I don't know if I should be ashamed that real person fanfics this bad exists or to start wrting them myself!

      Okay, that was not only insanely funny but a very good reason why RPF should not exist...

      OMFG...there are tears....very, VERY funny!

  9. I just got myself a David Bowie discography. I swear the sound of his voice singing "Do it again, do it again" will haunt my dreams for days to come. GUH!

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      He is simply breathtaking sometimes...

  10. A bunch of little background details I wrote months and months ago are demanding to have their own subplots. I just, don't even. Guh. Can you give me a break plot bunnys? I have other shit to do right now.

  11. I promised myself I wouldn't go back and rewrite things until the fic was finished over all, but everytime I look at the first chap of MBWLAYWGS it keeps getting worse and worse. I don't think I can resist the compulsion. Must... Nitpick... GAH! I'm never going to get anything finished at this rate.

      I do exactly the same thing! I guess it might irk readers, but it really annoys me if I see a mistake in my writing.

  12. Just spent two hours in a lecture about kangaroo uteri, and accompanying structures. This is my life right now.

    1. Melrick

      Melrick

      I'd probably enjoy that. I like learning new things.

  13. A crested pigeon just laid an egg on my doorstep (literally my doorstep) and flew off. Huh.

    1. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      Congratulations! It's a girl!

  14. Getting myself a new aquarium this week. I'm stupidly excited already!

  15. I caught myself a shiny Mightyena in pokemon x today. I don't even care that it's useless, this game is awesome.

  16. I am back in buisness, whoo!

  17. Urgh. Finally got my mid semester assignments done. Now I've only got a tonne more which are harder, and the uni in their infinite wisdom decided to put the mid semester break back in week four before we even got the assignments, so no break for me this term :/ Of course now the creative gods decided to throw me a little inspiration for MBWLAYWGS. I think I'm gonna be up all night writing this down, if I can coax it out of my head that is.

  18. I can't believe that at the roipe old age of 18 I forked over cash for sea monkeys. DEAD sea monkeys. At least Darling is happy.

  19. Finally got my new aquarium set up! Mum seems impressed and Dad is begrudgingly realizing that the floor is not going to collapse and the circuit breaker is not going to burst into flame. I can't wait for my new plants to arrive in the mail.

  20. I've made a deviantart account for all of my pretties. A lot of this stuff is for uni so I would love it if you could pop in and lend me your opinions! http://lockedbox.deviantart.com/gallery/

  21. Guh! Two subjects down, one to go. I can't wait for uni break.

  22. "You're too old for easter chocolates" they said, "We can get some in the sales" they said. Well F that. I just went out and spent $60 dollars on easter chocolates for everyone, except me. Let the guilt tripping commence.

  23. Wow, being the easter bunny is even more fun than waiting for it! I don't know why I haven't started doing this years ago... oh yeah, I remember now, SLEEP!

  24. I just ordered myself some new fish! Haven't heard back yet but I'm already pretty excited..

  25. The fish aren't here yet, and I have to work tomorrow, sigh. I've written *detailed* instructions on what to do and masking taped them to the top of the fishtank, along with the necessary equipment. Lets hope that Dad can actually be bothered to read and follow them.
