I love being an American really, and 4th of July is the best. I sit around all day watching Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Independence Day and 1776. Eating corn and cheesy poofs drinking lemonade in the air conditioning.
The only bad part is today is especially HOT. I absolutely hate the heat, since I'm a ginger and my skin only burns! My mom say that even when I was a baby I would scream and fuss until I was out of the heat. I still do...I'm a winter-child.
Tonight I'm going with my friend Amee to our town's carnival, where we'll eat fried dough, mock carnies, and go on the Zipper ride (the one that flips you up-side-down). Hopefully not in that order. Then later my brother will undoubtedly set of fireworks (which are illegal here) and we'll enjoy a Star Wars Marathon.

Eclipse
Eclipse is blindingly awful, it makes looking at anything a 3 step process. It's tedious, counter-intuitive and just all-around not good. It made trying to get through my watch list such a long process, I would give up in frustration.
Thank God for the Toggle function. I feel bad for any new users who don't have the choice to go back to classic green.
Deviant art, why do you have to mess with a good thing?
Does anyone out there actually like Eclipse? I'm really interested to hear. If you do like it, what aspects of it do you find easier, more functional?
Flash frightens me
I finally got Flash CS6, and now I have the daunting task of actually learning how to use it.
Seriously, I opened it up for the first time and was like "Whaaat?!". Witchcraft!
I'd like to make a flash game, but I am hopelessly lost. If anyone knows of any good tutorials send them my way. I need something like, "Flash for complete and utter idiots".
Also, I just got back from the most AMAZING holiday in England. I was visiting my sister, and we had a grand old time. But I came back with a nasty head cold. Aw well, it was worth it!
Man, what's taking so long?
It's been a long 2 months, I've been back at school and we're already at midterm time. Jeez, that's a little overwhelming.
I've been working on something art-related this whole time, off and on. It'll be done soon and then I'll post the whole thing. I'm quite proud of it, but it's also been a good exercise in relaxation. It's always a good idea in a high-stress environment to take some time to yourself everyday to do something you enjoy. Even if it's just a half an hour, take some time for yourself. Read, write, sew, knit, sing, dance, plan a murder. Whatever passes the time.
Heh heh heh...
Past Me vs Current Me
Hey all of you who read my sappy journal entries.
I want to thank !avidfreakazoidfan (https://www.deviantart.com/avidfreakazoidfan) for her kind words, you're awesome.
So I just spent the last several hours scanning hundreds of pages of loose sketches I have stored in my very messy room. I'm trying to get rid of these, and thus make my room a little less of a massive fire hazard. And as as I was scanning all these really old sketches, I realized something. I am SO MUCH BETTER!!! I mean jeez some of these suck, and some are mildly good but they are NOTHING compared to my current drawing skill. I'm not saying I'm a great artist right now, but I'm 50x better than past me. Suck it past
