Well... I was walking down the street (bright, sunny day- it was lovely) and the many thoughts that churned in my mind came to a phenomenal conclusion! You see... in my last journal on dA I mentioned that I had fallen back onto the planet and for some reason my mind had made it its purpose to chaoticofy this idea.

Particularly, my brain was concerned with the idea that I was currently walking upside down. I mean being in Australia an all means I don't actually walk upright since Australia is "down under". How is it possible that right at that moment I was the wrong way up. And if that were true then why wasn't I hanging on for dear life???
Then it happened: [link]

Ah the power of the mind and it's ability to make things real.

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

The above was more or less me saying, "Hey, look at me! I'm a hypocrite! Woohoo!" But more seriously. Sorry for the lack of activity. I've pretty much run myself into a corner and don't have as much time to hang in dA as I did before. I'm working on making myself the time but that's a long term goal at the moment.

This doesn't mean that I won't be submitting stuff now and then (you can take away the pencil but you can't take away the I-must-draw-now-I-tell-you-lest-my-brain-explode!!... ok that doesn't make sense... but anyway!) just that it'll happen in bursts haha.

I've been given the honour of a TAG by ~Mizu8Artist

The rules are:
1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

8??? EIGHT?? Dang it... erm... ok then:

1. I suffer from chronic I-can't-live-without-lipbalm disease. It's a habit I can't drop *flips out lipbalm and one-handedly takes off cap, applies, replaces cap and drops back into pocket*. I always have lipbalm with me. The rare days I have forgotten to take one with me have resulted in severe brain trauma on my part as I would sit concentrating on how much I could really use that lipbalm at that moment...

2. When I'm drawing I sometimes concentrate so hard I don't realise how strenuously I'm gripping my pencil... Guess it's because I don't want my hand to shake so I tense every muscle my subconscious brain can find.

3. Sushi = awesome (I love eating sushi and japanese food)

4. Where I live currently there's no sushi place....................................

5. I also go through moments of chronic I-love-mints-and-can't-stop-eating-them-till-the-whole-packet's-empty disease. Good times.

6. I love a good lame/bad joke (especially when you're just in the mood for one of those 8D).

7. I can seal my nostrils with my top lip. Comes in very useful when swimming XD.

8. I almost caught a 7-8kg Tiger Fish and did manage to catch a 10kg Vundu (type of catfish) once! (You asked for random )

Who's being tagged? - Free for all! If you want to do it then do it! If not then good for you

Joke for today:

*falls back onto the planet*

It's been ages but hasn't it gone fast!! My trip back to Africa was so fantastic- I'm all Africanated! Although specifically it would be South-Africanated but anyway! I'd go back there in a flash if I could! I was so glad to see the big animals again (Ever get the slightest chance to go to Kruger Park... go. Just go. For more than a few days. It's worth it) and had such close encounters it was just HooHAR! (That'll be a word one day... just you wait XD) Not to mention getting to see family again <8D It all went too fast!

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to all! Despite having such a holiday I didn't get much time to do the sketching I planned to. But there are some things to come if I can get off my lazy bum and finish them!

Talk about awesome for that Endzone Final hey! Congrats to *Unknown-person and *lan-kun for such epicness!! I'm still being flabbergasted reading and watching them again haha! Cheers!

Anyone have any awesome holiday tales to tell? 8D

----

Being the bad-joke-enjoying freak I am, I managed to scour the remains of the Christmas lunch and dinner tables for the cracker jokes (which you know are just so bad it's not that funny- but anyway) mwahahaha:

What did Mrs Claus say to Santa Claus?
~Looks like rain deer!

What do reindeer hang on their Christmas trees?
~"Horn"-aments!

Why did the elf put his bed in the fireplace?
~He wanted to sleep like a log! (<-- oh my goodness... where do they get these??)

What did the big candle say to the little candle?
~I'm going out tonight!

What kind of music to elves like best?
~"wrap" music!

Ha ha hee hee ho ho- HO HO HO! 8D *runs away*

I am so excited XD!! Within the next two weeks I'm zooming off back to the continent I was born on for the first time in 7 years! It won't be the country I was born in but it'll be dang close! Man the butterflies are already in my stomach!

Been a lack of updates because I've been rather busy trying to organize my life (sounds dramatic har har) = _=;; It's been a toss between really working out what I want to do and how to do it amongst getting what I already have to do done. Man I am soooo good with english (<-- extreme sarcasm).

I've been missing days where I could just sit and draw for no reason. Nostalgia seems to hold me back too much

Enough of my rambling! Will chuck in some arts before I go but for 5 weeks after I will have limited internet times so all the best for your holidays if you have them! Holiday time is a great opportunity for creativeness so I'm looking forward to some sketch time XD.

Now that I've bored your brain out with my life ramblings, have a couple of bad jokes to kick your brain back into function:

What do you call a guy with no shins?



Toe-Knee

and what did one snow man say to the other?


Do you smell carrots?

Hahahahaha ha ha...... ha 8D

What a ride it has been through Endzone! I don't think it could have ended in any other way more epic. *lan-kun really did blow my socks off! Hats off to him and for a well deserved win XD Never the less Endzone has been one of the best things I have ever committed 4/5 months to! I have learned so much and had fun whilst at it! Indeed without it Grampy, Sroom, Red and Blue and many other silly characters would have never seen the light of day. I'm really happy they've had their time XD Thanks to =Endling for starting up the whole thing!

Thanks also and again to all those people who kept encouraging me and who just kept coming back to read XD. It keeps one going

Guess it's time to start on the pile of stuff I've been neglecting haha. For those I owe art to, it'll be on its way soon hopefully. Otherwise I have been enlisted into a team of amazing artists helping my good friend ~arutea with her final year honours project (a 9 min hand animated 2D animation!!!). I encourage you to keep and eye on her work because she's got the stuff :3

I hope to work up some arts of my own too and have really enjoyed the comicing side of things so hopefully I can through some more laughs around

Keep well and it's been a blast!

Have a joke:
What did a green grape tell to a purple grape?

Breathe you stupid!!!!!
HAWHAWhahahahah ha ha

CHOO!!! Yep that about explains my lack of activity Apologies for that... had a bought of flu cross hay fever with a dash of bug like stuff settle on the household. Which generally meant my nose turning into a goo fountain, sneezes that seem to want to repeat themselves 50 times over all at once and what ever other things you can add to there in reference of colds (for all of you who have never been sick before... you lucky fishes! )

But back to business! Round five ! Grampy's up against Dood Palette created by .......................... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! TT________TT Why fate whyyyyyy? Lan-kun's proven time and again his imaginative creativity and great storytelling abilities with his work. I can't help feel a lingering piano above my head... And Dood! Just look at him! He's dead and still dominating! I really hope I can put up a fight!!

Really behind in work at the moment and for that reason I am banning myself from the internet and will probably not be replying to messages for a while. (self banning never seems to stick though........ hmmm). But will get to them when I can!

------

Round one was against =Nokomento (who you should check out - seriously go to the page now!!)
