Helleo.

It's been a while since I've been around these parts thanks to my COMPUTER DYING () and then this one getting riddled with freaking viruses... Then my stupid school decided to block dA which is awesome. So, yeah-very sorry to those whose comments etc. from well over a month ago have only just been replied to now!

So much has happened over the time that I've been stuck without decent 'net access:

I turned 18

I quit school

Had my one year dA anniversary

I started drawing/painting again.

So yeah-I few milestones I guess.
MAN it's scary being 18... I'm a legal adult! Here in NZ that means that I can drink and buy alcohol, go to bars, vote, go to R18 concerts (hell yeh), smoke and buy cigarettes, gamble, watch/rent/buy R18 movies etc., and a whole heap of other scary things. I still feel like such a kid though! Meh-I'll get used to it.
Didn't do much for my birthday. Went out for dinner with my family which was nice. I kept falling asleep at the table though as I'd been up for at least two days straight trying to finish assignments...
Mum and Dad bought me a ticket to The Big Day Out! Mum kinda spilled the beans about that one though which, although spoiled the surprise, has given me loads of time to get UBER excited about getting to see TOOL LIVE! I really can't wait to go. I've been wanting to go for years now but it's been near impossible with school always getting in the way...

But that shouldn't be a problem anymore 'cause I'M FINISHED WITH SCHOOL FOREVER! Well, until I decide to go to Uni or tertiary. Which I -do- want to do at some point-but I need some time to catch my breath first. I'm sooo sick of school! The whole 24/7 thing where you get no time to sleep, socialise, be happy, do your own thing etc. drove me friggin' mental. I completely lost motivation and just stopped caring so decided to just give up and quit before I lost it altogether. So, yah-call me stupid for giving up when I had shit all to go but I really didn't need another breakdown. I'm pretty disappointed in myself about it but I don't know whether I could help it. Besides-try going to WCS and see how long you can stand it! Ha! Yeah-I suck.

But, with school out of the picture, I'm actually really happy again! I feel so free! It's been really hard to get used to the fact that I don't have any work to do though... I'm forever feeling like I should be off doing something rather than just relaxing and doing whatever. It feels icky but I should get over it soon.
It means that I've been able to get some drawing done though which feels great. I have one to stick up now but I'll post some of me other work when I get it finished/scanned in.

Ah, yeah-and I've been here for just over a year now. Kinda groovy. w00t for me.

I think that's enough blabbing for now...

Wow-you reached the end! Have a cookie.

-Dani.
