....so I'm not going to be able to be online a lot. Not like you guys aren't used to me saying this anyway. |DD My stupid advance classes give me sooo much homework I feel like I'm going to die. I had 2 and a half hours of science homework on Thursday. DDDDX So, I'm sorry if I won't be replying back to people's comments or if I won't be commenting on people's art. I'll only really be able to get online during the weekend. -_-;; And for the people who have been asking me lately....sorry, but I'm not doing requests. I only made an exception to do an art trade with because I felt I wasn't so busy at the time. (I still have to draw the pic though.) So...yeah.....*fades away*

I know I haven't been updating my gallery lately, but I did finish quite a few pictures so I'll be sure to upload those soon.

But, omg....I went to the movie theater a couple of days ago and saw The Dark Knight, and it was frickin AWESOME. Heath Ledger (R.I.P.) did an absolutely fantastic job as the Joker!! It is, like, a 2 and 1/2 hour movie but it is so worth it. I also saw Iron Man awhile ago which was an amazing movie as well. But if you haven't seen The Dark Knight yet, GO SEE IT NOW! Unless, of course, you're not into those kind of movies.

Other than seeing a bunch of movies, I haven't really gone anywhere for vacation because I've been having to help my brother fix up his new house.

Sorry, if I haven't been answering a lot of my messages or haven't commented on any deviations. I've just been trying to relax and enjoy my summer while it lasts. I have about a month left of summer vacation. (School starts on September 2nd for me). I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! = )

Summer vacation is finally here for me. Well, school was over a couple of days ago, but I was too busy chilling and doing stuff to make a new journal about it. |D....but now I don't have to stress over exams, or school in general, anymore! However, there is a bit of a down-side to this all for me. This summer, I am not going to really go anywhere for vacation. I mean, my family and I might do something small, but we are not going to go to another state like we originally planned. It's because of my brother's house and how much we have to work on it and stuff. ._. I got over it, but it still sucks. lol


Anyway....I got tagged by !!


Rules:
1)Post these rules
2)Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal
3)At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 friends/people and post their icons on the same journal
4)Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them

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

1) My favorite animals are Pandas, Fennec Foxes, and Orcas. I am like, obsessed with them. XD

2) I am a roller coaster fanatic!!! I could LIVE in an amusement park if I could.

3) I have a pretty big collection of Ty Beanie Babies. I have around 120, I'll have to count them later.

4) I have a little fish bowl on my desk with one guppy in it. At least I think that's what kind of fish it is. I named him Steve. I guess he serves as a little companion when I am drawing at my desk. XD

5) I am absolutely terrified of centipedes, but I don't mind spiders too much. (unless they catch me by surprise in the middle of the night.) *cringes*

6) I have 200 digits of pi memorized. Don't ask why. I was just extremely bored one weekend. lol

7) umm...I used to play the violin. I played it for a year when I was in 4th grade. I was pretty good, it's just that I could NOT read music notes. I just played it by ear. I never took the time to read the music sheets, so I don't play anymore.

8) Next year when I am in 9th grade, I'll be in 3 advance classes. X_x Hopefully I'll have a life. XDDD;;

So yeah, I know I am supposed to tag 8 other people, but right now it is like midnight. I am tired, and too lazy, so I tag anyone who wants to do this.

Well, I spent a bunch of my contest money on a camera. It was like a $900 camera but my mom had some coupons and I also had to buy a memory card, so I saved like $100. lol Its a Canon and has 12.2 mega pixels. It's the kind of camera with changeable lens, so on Christmas or my birthday, my parents are going to buy a different kind of lens for my camera. I've already took some pictures so I'll be submitting them into my gallery! There's a whole lot more about the different things you can do on my camera, but I don't feel like typing it all out. |DD;;;

AND OMG! When I was at Best Buy, I couldn't resist buying the first season of House MD. XDD My mom also found an egg in her garden. It was in her way and she wanted to get rid of it but then I decided to take it and try to take care of it the best I could. It's a pain in the butt trying to keep the egg warm when you don't have a proper incubator machine. -_- So, I hope the embryo won't die or anything. My mom actually found it a few inches underground, so we have no idea what animal layed that egg. We are guessing it could be a turtle egg or a duck egg. But, whatever, we'll see what it is when and if it hatches. We do know something is inside, though because we shown a light near the egg and we could see that something was in there, dead or alive. We'll see in a few weeks or so.

Anyway, be sure to see my photos. I don't have Photoshop or any photo editing program yet, so the photos aren't going to have awesomely awesome effects or anything. XD

I don't know if any of you remember that I entered this contest by the company AAA. The one where I had to draw a safety poster having to do with buckling your seat belt. Well, I won! I won both the state competition and national competition! For winning first place, I get $1,500. Tomorrow my school is having an art festival and the people at AAA said they were going to send someone to my school to present me the award! I am soooo happy! I just HAD to tell you guys. I found out during my 2nd hour class at school and I was FREAKING OUT. I was literally shaking with excitement XDDD
I am still thinking about what exactly I am going to buy with the money. My parents were pretty much as freaked out as I was lol.

Other than winning that contest, I am also happy because I only have about 2 weeks of school left! I cannot wait until summer vacation. I hope everyone is doing well. I've finally gotten the time to answer messages and stuff on deviantArt. There will be another bit of a delay of me submitting art. |DDD (as if I haven't taken enough super long breaks already lol) I just started to get back to submitting some stuff, but now I realized that final exams for school are coming up, and I want to focus on doing good on them. However, as soon as it is summer vacation, I will be submitting things a lot more. Again, I hope everyone has been doing well...and I'll do my best to comment on people's deviations and answer messages. ^^
