I've been meaning to make a list of things I want for my birthday for ages, but I hadn't gotten around to it yet.
Considering it's next week (on the 9th) and my parents are leaving on the 10th, there's no time like the present! Plus my lecture finished ages early this morning because the DVD of Psycho screwed up half way through. I was really enjoying it so that was disappointing D:
Anyway, as part of my birthday present I asked Mum to get some stuff from the BABY store in Paris for me. There's a bit of a markup in price because it's not one of their Japanese stores, but considering I won't have to pay shipping or the actual price, here's some of the things I could get:

( Long list does not include all prices because that'd show how crazy I am about BABY xD )

• 09:49 I'm super glad I decided to move to another room. People who talk loudly and laugh when I have work to do deserve to be stabbed in the face. #
• 11:04 and documentation sucks. Not that that's surprising. #

As this season of Doctor Who has finished, I thought I'd add to the David Tennant and John Barrowman love by making icons from the previous seasons :3 Not nearly half as many Barrowman icons as I'd like, but I need to find more pictures of him >< There's a bit of the Ninth Doctor and Rose as well as David as Casanova.

I got a phonecall from Big W finally! I was guaranteed a interview there since the manager is a friend of Mum's student teacher Erin (who's awesome, and a huge Harry Potter fan), but I was getting worried because she hadn't phoned yet. Turns out there was a mix-up in phone numbers somehow, but I phoned Erin who gave me Bec's (the manager) number. So I've got an interview 9:30 tommorow morning! Worried, but at least she seems nice. I tend to get along better with female interviewers anyway xD

Just came back from driving out to the shops with Dad. I'm slowly getting there, but it annoys me because as soon as you focus on improving one aspect of driving you stuff up another one. Or maybe that's just me? Anyhoo, just need to overcome my intense fear of reverse parking, parking and driving smaller cars and I can go to a driving school. And then, for my licence and getting a car! (Hopefully then Dad will stop nagging me >.<)


Well, I have 221 emails in my inbox to sort through, so I'll talk to you guys later. Can't wait to see your new icons, kiyala! <3

Doing this to get me out of an artistic slump. Last time I attempted to draw I forgot how to start off in my style, and it's been a few weeks since that last time I drew D:

Two years of Livejournal, the time's gone so fast! xD
I should upload a lot of icons or something to celebrate, but I should really do some work today...><

Edit: Ah, I'll do work tommorow. Here's some icons from icontests I've been in or that I haven't posted yet.

I don't feel like posting my picspam, as I bought something awesome yesterday! That's right, a new domain name for $15! I now own the website Princeofpirates.com, where I will be placing my art, fanlistings and other stuff in future :D *is super pleased*

Anyhoo, stole this meme from the fabulous kiyala !
