I find myself growing into and out of my skin--finally and regretfully (respectively). I am experiencing a maturing jag; less procrastination, more dedication, and a changing outlook on the future. Unfortunately, over the course of about 8 months, I gained 20 pounds. Yes, i am now the weight and disposition of a small sea-lion. Ironically, I'm almost satisfied with it, as opposed to having been more anxious and anxious during my previous diet stints. I won't be going into this new health-attempt beating myself up (though I ought to be) because I have got confidence in myself, something fat little girls develop rarely and late.
On a humorous note, I have been fidgeting more, swaying, teeth-licking, finger twisting, etc. My mother and relatives inform me that my perpetual swaying makes them sea sick. Translation: "I am a big, rolling sea in which they are drowning. God help us all."

In the art arena, I am finally moving forward!
After a long time of being acquainted with digital art, and especially with the drive to create it, I finally have my own computer, Adobe CS3, and a wacom tablet. I feel like an overwhelmed noobie (which I am). The delights of wacom are extremely exceptional; it's fast, uncomplicated, doesn't involve messy paints and mediums, and best of all, I can sketch as fast as the ideas come into my mind! yippee!
Unfortunately, no one here has seen my REAL art, my traditional sketches and drawings, as my dad's scanner is horrible, and my sister will not allow me access to her digital camera. Hopefully, that, too, will change. Expect some traditional art soon, with pottery (intermediate, I'm only in high school, and no, my name is not Michelangelo, so no hopes there), and some mixed media drawings.

Well folks, good luck with life, and adios!
