Today was our first day of the new trimester. It was good, I had all of the same classes though, except Gym was replaced by Health.

The major thing I have a problem with is the choice of reading we have in English. (I'm in Challenge.) We had a choice of books, but of course, they purposely picked Teen books. I have an issue with those types of books, becuase they seem to send the wrong messages to many others I know. Why can't we read good books? (I'm not saying the books I like are any good, but I mean a different style for a different mindset.) How about Thomas Covenant? Or The Blue Adept? Or even the Dark Tower? (Ka. Just for kicks of course.)

Anyway, aside from my English literature disliking, I don't mind anything else.

I just want to add, that I made Dream Island - Joy for a reason. It was to try. Let me try to explain that. The first Vector I tried was without instructions from a tutorial or other. I just used a few bushes, and shapes, cut out a crow, and make a clouds here or there. Simple, but it wasn't very good.
The second piece was a tutorial I tried, which of course, didn't turn out well either (I attribute that to my knowledge of PS, very little).
Okay, so far we have two of four down. The third, Joy, was to test out what I knew from the tutorial and what I could grasp from someone else's work. I'm sure, once at least, you've tried to take an idea from someone and turn it into your own, not for making anything out of it, but to just at least try it.
The fourth one (Us - All Around The World), was one of those I've seen around. It was where there were four panes, with black borders dividing them up, and then different gradient backgrounds. With the people jumping around in the panes, like those iPod commercials. It was like that, but then I added the part about deviantArt, which changed it slightly. Instead of people, I used cities, and instead of four, I used three.

My style didn't change a whole lot between each of the different pieces, heart, clover and moon are all generally the same. Why? Because I haven't found something else more interesting yet, nor have I been innovative/creative enough to make something new.

I'll admit to something though, I didn't try anything from my own thoughts in Dream Island, it was all just to try it out from Celso. So that's that.


Have a good Tuesday everyone. (or week if you don't read this right away.)

I went to see a sneak preview of the Last Mimzy tonight. It was pretty good. I like the technical stuff, but there wasn't enough of it. (Because they can't just go making the whole movie about the future.)

On my way out, they gave me a little Mimzy. (I won't tell you what a 'Mimzy' is. )


Anyway, I'm really tired now.
I just got done making and uploading Us - All Around The World. It took me quite a while. I wasn't sure what I was going to turn it into at the start. I thought of a desert with a cactus or something, then I couldn't make a cactus.
I was showing my dad today Dream Island - Joy, and I saw allot of people from other countries comment and it.

I thought it was really neat, so I guess I turned the desert into a dA fan work? (what do I call that?)

Also, a song I was listening to, (and still quite often,) is called All Around The World, by Oasis. That gave me the name.

I don't know anything else!
Have a nice Monday everyone!

Check out Dream Island - Joy!

Anyway! I spent along time on it, and it wasn't as good as I wanted. The colors were off, and the shapes were strange.

I wish there was a place where they had a list of colors that work well together.

And... I've been away most of the week, last week of 2nd trimester, finishing up projects and homework. As well as working on the new hardwood floors.

I'd really like to try out for a contest, a flash contest. It's make a Preloader. I'm not good enough, but I'll give it a shot.

have a good week end!

I'd like to try out a contest I saw here. It's about secrets, and stuff. I just wanted to try it, and I don't expect anything. I started on Sunday, but didn't have enough time to finish. I still think it's missing something. ):

I won't have time till the weekend, and... It's the last week of our trimester at school! So much work that must be done.
...So the weekend is when I'll have time... maybe?

My parents are changing the floors in the house. (maple to bamboo.)

well, anyway. I was looking at my grades tonight, and I have a A- average. It's nice to not have to worry about it. I still have work to do though, still a whole trimester left.

I guess I'm just tired. (I could use a vacation.)

If you're looking at any of the Vector Wallpaper's I uploaded, fell free to use them as well paper!

They are in 1024x768 for that very reason!

I didn't know about a area called Wallpapers, and I figure more people will see them if they're in Vector Art, but please, go ahead and use them!
