A New Chapter

stretching my wings, getting ready for that world

Just a quick update to anyone who's still here and cares

Well guys, it's been a while, hasn't it? My hiatus isn't over, I think, just making a quick pop up to give any old friends an update. I still love you guys.

Ok, well, I had my 18th birthday in March. That was pretty cool. My parents got me this epic Genius Pensketch tablet and I love it. It's great for digital art, and I've been getting a lot more immersed into that.

I got accepted to my dream college! What's more, I've gotten a scholarship that allows me practically a full ride! I only have to pay the $1500 freshmen gate fee and I'm set. It really surprised me that I got that scholarship, too, since (because of some faulty communication) I was two hours late for my interview and ended up crying. >.>;; Heh. But that's an entirely different story, right? ^^;;

My school had prom again, of course, and it was beyond awesome. Even better than last year. I went with a group of my best friends. I did have a date, but I broke it off with him, and thank GOD I did because he's super annoying. Nice, but he hugs me waaayyy too much and calls me "sexy" in a nasally, high-pitched voice. Anyways...

I got a hair cut! That's actually super-big news, considering I hadn't had mine cut for about three years. ^^; It was below my hips. Now it's about an inch below my shoulders. Good stuff.

My art teacher threw me into a MILLION art competitions and I actually won some! Even more good stuff, eh?

Mmmm, yeah, I think that's about all---- Oh right. Well there was one little matter of graduation, right?

Yeah, guys, I graduated high school last Friday, the 22nd of May. Woo. That was emotionally difficult, I'll tell you. Cried 7 times >.> It was great, though. It was BARELY sprinkling when us seniors were making our way to the football field, and we were scared we'd have to move the ceremony to the gym, but instead of pouring down on us, the sky gave us just enough moisture and sunlight that we actually got this amazing rainbow right over us. It lasted long enough for all us honor grads to get our diplomas before it faded away. That was pretty awesome...

So yeah... my high school days are over. It's hard to believe. Geez, how old was I when I first found my way onto Opera? 15? It's been a while. To all my old friends from way back when, I definitely still love you guys.

Ok, well, that's about all I can think of to update you on. I probably still won't be on opera very much, but if you guys just need me back in your lives, or want a more-current update, then check out my deviantArt page. I'm on there like... every day ^^;;

w00p for art, right?

Any Twi-hards out there?

EDIT:
Ok, so, I wrote the following when I was shamefully addicted to Twilight. *sigh* Thankfully, I am no longer one of those insufferable, foams-at-the-mouth fan girls. I still like the series, but no, not addicted. Anyways.

The Twilight Saga owns. Yes.

"Stephanie Meyer is the new Jesus," as someone put it...

Ok, so...


HAI GUYZ!!

It's been a while! Just giving you all a head's up on stuff here! *ahem*

Twilight, the novel by Stephanie Meyer, is AWESOME!


I mean LOOK AT THAT!
<---- THAT IS EDWARD ANTHONY MASON CULLEN, FOOLZ!

*sigh*

He's a Greek god, you see... ok, well, not really... but... He SPARKLEZ!

and then... there was prom...

First off, let me just say sorry for my extended absence. Life has been hectic and weird and odd and awesome and just plain confusing, but here I am once again!!!

Wow. Prom rocks just about as much as the military ball did! I went with 3 of my best friends and we rocked out. It was awesome! And then one of my friends had introduced me to her nephew (by adoption or something. he's 17) And of course he's one of those shy, sweet guys who are like "I can't dance..." so we had to MAKE him dance for the better part of the night, but, as always, he lightened up at the end and really started to get his groove on. :lol: yeah... it was sooo fun!

I lost one earring, snapped a bracelet, and tore about 5 HUGE GAPING HOLES in my hoes, but ya know what? It was awesome... yeah...

my feet hurt. P:

Omg... I don't believe it...

Can it be true?? Have another March 21st rolled by once again??

Am I really 17??

Wow... you guys remember when I turned 16, right? Like a month after I joined Opera... wow...

Years fly, don't they? I'M ABOUT TO BE A SENIOR!!

But anyways, let the balloons fall and the lights flash now. It's my birthday!!

PAR TAY!

:drunk: :hat: :hat: :hat: :drunk: :hat: :wizard: :hat: :hat: :hat:

First Dance Ever!

(warning. excessive use of CAPS)

AND OMG IT WAS THE MOST FUN I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!! IT WAS SO SO SO SO SO MUCH FUN, PEOPLES! THE BALL WAS LIKE THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN!! IT WAS SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT! I DANCED WITH SOOO MANY GUYS AND IT WAS SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO FUN!!! When I woke up this morning, I was literally saying "That was so awesome"

ZOMG!

Tennis!

You most of you guys know I love tennis, right? Well, I've signed up for it at school. I'm terrified of it, though, because I haven't played it since I was in the 7th grade (I'm a junior now) and I was fairly good then, but I've never played on a team or in an official game.

I'm so scared of it. I love the sport, but still! I'm worried there will be hundreds of preps on the team. No offense to anyone out there, but the preps at my school are awful. >< They made Algebra II class a living pit of flaming brimstone, if ya get my meaning.

So anyways... I'm hoping that,
1. I don't make an idiot of myself
2. I actually make the team
3. I'm not flooded by preps
4. I don't make an idiot of myself
5. I don't make an idiot of myself
and
6. I don't make an idiot of myself

>< wishing me luck, peeps?

Good Bye, 2007!

and HEEEEEELLLLOOOOOOOO 2008!!!!!!1

Wow. Times defies itself, ya know? This year has taken forever to get over with, yet it's gone by with the blink of an eye.

Bang up job, everyone!!!! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!! :jester: :drunk: :wizard: :hat:

Hey guys, look at this real quick!

Hey, here's a little brain game for ya! Try and find the differences in these two photos. There are three, and it's really hard to see them. It took me forever to find them all! :lol:

I drew this too...

also drawn on the computer because my mom has this crazy idea that if I even look at the digital camera, it'll break into a thousand tiny pieces or something...

anywho, this is a pic of the BEST breed EVER... and it sucks compared to what I can do on paper :frown: As far as on the computer, though, it's not horrible..
