Mou ikkai!! I deleted all the previous posts because everything got all messy, the result of trying to code my layout at 5 am. So this is another first post, again!
Alright, lately I have been working on a few things, so it's time to update (0☆Д☆) おっすー! Firstly, at the top of the list, looking for a new school and a job. Hoping another trip to the hospital to ruin my school life again won't be needed!
But that's boring stuff, right under that is the
5th Game Maker Competition, I'll be helping Jenna out with making sprites like this cute little
Toyota Corolla AE86, for her game entry
Foody Num Nums. Similar to Katamari except instead of rolling over items you eat them and get fatter. Yes,
even cars!
Under this, I am working on an Alternative Modeling portfolio. Because of the weather, no shoots yet just planning. The first shoot will be a snow shoot, so I am looking forward to it =). It will be an interesting experience, having someone take pictures of me haha, usually I just take pictures of myself for my facebook profile, msn display, etc... But to actually dress up, bring several outfits, wear make-up and head to a specific public location to get pictures taken-- it will be interesting... I hope >.>
I am also playing around a lot with the programs Gabe gave me, more with the zBrush since I think it's fun, but with a lot of music programs as well. My head is all full of tutorials. It keeps me awake at night sometimes. I don't have anything modeled yet that is worth posting, so I won't embarrass myself. Being a perfectionist I can't seem to stand something I consider sub-par being seen in public, haha. Does that make me a bad person?! :P
On top of all of this, once my school starts, I'll be signing up for dance lessons. Yep-- I am skinny now, but I gotta work to make sure I don't get a bomb dropped on me in my 20's! It's not the real reason I'm signing up though, I always liked dance. I have an amazing sense of balance and hand-eye coordination, and in my opinion whether its in art, music, taste or movement, or anything else; my number one skill seems to be replicating or reproducing what I see, hear, taste, etc... I'm a professional grade copy cat =) Since I have been really unhealthy in the past year (in and out of hospitals way too much), I thought a bit of strenuous activity every day would be good for my health. And as long as it's something I have an interest in, I'll keep at it. I'm very competitive 8D And, in preparation for the upcoming physical activity I've been stretching and exercising a lot. I can now do more situps in a row than my boyfriend, touch my toes, and put both feet behind my head like those creepy contortionists.
But wait, the list goes on. Busy life! I've started selling clothing, hats and accessories online again for some extra money, but it's hard to get found among a fan base of ~1000, where only ~50% are Vancouverites. Therefore, I'm going to start selling on an amateur designer website as well as on eBay. Hopefully it'll grab a bit more attention.
Lastly (I think), I've been looking for a pet. I have a 5 gallon tank beside me ready to go for some aquatic goodness. I really want an axolotl. But onwards! What I really am looking for is a snake (which requires a 15-25 gallon view tank). In the near future hopefully, I will be purchasing either a Ball Python or a selective het of Corn Snake from a breeder here in Vancouver. They go anywhere from $100 up to $2500 so we will see what I fall in love with at first sight (♥◡♥)b. Snakes are great pets, they eat twice a month, poo two or three times a month, have no scent, and require hardly any attention or cleaning at all. Most snakes available for sale are very laid back and (as far as reptiles go) docile. Contrary to popular belief, even larger snakes like Boas would not make any move to bite or constrict their handlers, as long as the snakes are captive bred. Even wild snakes I've caught in the past rarely do anything at all to defend themselves. Since I am very comfortable handling, feeding and taking care of reptiles, I'd love a pet snake this year. Corn snakes live anywhere from 12-15 years, up to 20; and Ball Pythons can reach 50 years in captivity-- so it would be a nice permanent family member!
Cheers~
