I didn't get into that art highschool. Lincoln Park didn't accept me, and in all honesty, I don't know why. At my audition earlier this year, the lady flat out told me that she loved my work and couldn't wait to see some of it animated and in action. Also, towards the end of April I got a phone call from them asking for my enrollment papers and my transcripts. Why the hell would they ask for all of that if I didn't get accepted? It makes no sense to me.

I'm also rather pissed off that I spent a lot of money getting my artwork and photography printed and bound into a professional style portfolio. Those idiots kept it too-- so now I'm out about $30 and I'm still stuck in cyberschool.

I'm supposedly an alternate now, and if someone backs out during the summer-- THEN I get to go. In all honesty, they can fucking shove it. I'm not good enough the first time? Then oh fucking well, don't come crawling back asking me to go to your damn school. I don't need you to tell me I'm talented, so shove your stupid performing arts high school up your twat.


It's been bothering me a lot, sorry guys.



--------------------------------------------------

The good news is that I'm back!
I just uploaded a bunch of my photography, which includes pictures of: Bert McCracken from The Used, Danny Stills from Drop Dead Gorgeous, Brandon from Eyes Set To Kill, and hey, I also uploaded a new DeviantID. (:


Check it out, comment them, whatever.
Hopefully I'll have scans of my artwork up soon<3





ps, I'm supposed to be getting my Nikon camera soon too<3

Well, I'm going to start off with the bad news.

My laptop pretty much died on me. It was the computer I used to scan all of my artwork onto the computer, and it had most of my saved files on it. I have to send it back to my school (I'm cyberschooled.) and they're supposedly going to fix it for me, then send it back. Now, I don't know if they're going to delete all my files before they send it back to me, or what they're going to do-- but either way, I'm screwed.

The worst part is, I finished a BUNCH of the pieces that I was working on. I was all excited to scan them onto the computer, and BAM, my laptop decides that it's going to be an asshat. I'm well aware of the fact that I can always take pictures OF my artwork and post them on here, but what's the point? It won't look as good as a scan. /:


Now here's the good news!

About a week ago, I got a phone call from Lincoln Park. It's a performing arts highschool, kind of like in the movie Fame, only minus the boarding. Last year, I put my name on the waiting list-- hoping to get a call back from them eventually. A year passed, obviously, and just the other day I recieved a call from them. They asked if I was still interested in auditioning, and of course my answer was yes.

I'm really excited about it, but I'm also really nervous. I'm going to audition for Art / Photography, but I also have to pick another subject to study. I might go for vocal, but I haven't decided on that yet. All I know is I desperately want out of cyberschool. I miss socializing with people every day, and I miss not knowing what to expect each and every day. Above all, I miss art. Right now, everything seems like one big routine just continuing on and on. I don't want to go back to my old highschool, but I don't want to stay in Cyberschool either. I'm hoping they accept me into Lincoln Park, it'd pretty much make my... life.

Anywho, I have to get a portfolio of my artwork and photography together. Now remember how I said I'm screwed? Well, here's why. All of my GOOD photography is on my laptop. God only knows WHEN the idiots at PACyber will fix it and get it back to me, so who knows if I'll have it back in time to get prints of my photos. At least I have my artwork, that's all I have to say.

I was going to post all my recently finished pieces online, and ask people which ones I should include in my portfolio-- but obviously that's not going to happen.


Hopefully things will work out,
but if not, wish me the best of luck.

Alright, well I've been posting this widget on pretty much every social network that I'm apart of.

I keep getting e-mails saying that if you somehow manage to get enough people to demand them, then you can get a specific band to play a show in your area. Well, I've been a fan of this band for quite some time now-- years, to be completely honest. They're from Italy and they've never done a US tour, and are currently planning on scheduling a full world tour this spring. Now, when I found out about this demand it bullshit I decided I'd try my hardest to get people to help me out.

Now here's what you have to do:

Go there, and demand them for me.
Whenever it asks you for a zipcode:
MAKE SURE YOU USE 15204
It'll show up as Pittsburgh, PA-- which is where I live.


This isn't myspace, so I'm not going to 'whore you' or send you picture comments or anything-- I'll just be very greatful and extremely happy that you'd help me out. So, demand them for me and I'll love you forever? please?

Alright, I don't even remember where the hell I left off-- but here is what's been going on.


November 17, 2008: I went to New York City for my Sixteenth Birthday, stayed in Newark NJ, and spent an entire weekend wandering around the city. I didn't take as many pictures as I had planned, but I did take a few. I don't know if it was because I was afraid of getting mugged, or if I was too cold to take my camera out of my pocket. New York City in the winter/fall is by far the coldest thing I have ever experienced. It's windy as FUCK too-- so on top of freezing your bum off, you have to deal with your hair blowing all over the place. It rained on and off the entire time I was there, but occasionally it got bright and sunny-- though it still stayed cold and windy.

Also, I got to go to the TRL finale-- but I didn't get too many pictures of that, if any; I'll have to check. The crowds outside of the TRL/MTV studios were completely INSANE. I've never seen so many people fight over who was closest to the camera crew. Ridiculous.

I had a blast, though.



OH, and before we left Newark NJ, my mom drove me to see Gerard Way's (My Chemical Romance) house where he grew up. It's the house featured in the original I'm Not Okay music video. I took a few pictures, and my mom FORCED ME OUT OF THE CAR so that she could take a picture of me standing in front of the house. Her excuse: 'I did not just drive you across Pennsylvania for you to NOT take a picture in front of his god damn house.' I'm not uploading them on there, so if you want to see the pictures-- just let me know, and then I'll show you. The last thing I want is a million comments from My Chem fan-girls ranting on and on about how they wish they could've seen his house. Sorry. /: Like I said, if you want to see the pictures, just let me know. Simple as that.

I also have a ton more New York City pictures; once again, if you want to see all of them, just let me know and I'll show you.




As far as artwork goes, I haven't been that productive. I've worked on coloring a few of my drawings, but that's about it. I haven't had any creative vibes lately, to tell you the truth.


I just find it funny how I keep switching back and forth between photography and traditional art work. It seems like every couple of months I switch, delete half of my deviations, and then upload new ones. Oh well. It's just what I do, I guess.



Errr.
I guess that's all.
If I think of anything else, I'll just re-edit this.


Times Square! : [link]
I looked like shit. Thank you, Wind.

I haven't been too active on here lately, which sucks ass. I have so much artwork that I need to upload to my computer, and I have so many ideas inside of my head that I need to put down on paper.

For once in my life, I've actually been busy with FRIENDS. Cause apparently I actually have those now. I've been going out with them a lot, hanging out, sleeping over; stuff like that. I haven't even been on myspace that much, to tell you the truth.

Nothing too exciting has been going on. I got a new puppy, and err, that's about it.

If I remember, I'll attempt to upload more artwork later. OH and some photography! I took some amazing shots, so.. I guess my photography kick isn't over just yet ;D


xoxo, S.
