HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLONE~~!
I hope you have a fantastic day <3

So I went to see HBP with my old Art Foundation homie, Yoko, and we had fun! I've not seen her in like, a year, and we decided to fix that. It was a fun day! And I thought the movie was good! Better than I thought it would be! Tom Felton is looking fine let me tell you, and I don't think Narcissa was hot or blonde enough in the tiny scene she was in (but I've always seen her as Makani draws her) BUT I LIKED IT A LOT MORE THAN THE BOOK SO THAT WAS A PLUS. I think Harry doing the pincers line was my favourite part. (SERIOUSLY!)

I also got a new tablet and after some stressed tweaking got it up and running SO EXPECT ART SOON. I've got a couple sketches I want to finish up, but I do have an art project I've got to do for the 13th, so I'll be working on that too at some point. I also have to go back to Wales to hand it in which is so stupid and retarded and will cost me an arm and a leg.

I also got a Nintendo Wifi amplifier, so now I can trade and battle pokemans whenever I want! My friend code is 0088 0510 7668 so if anyone wants to battle my dudes, or trade me some pokemans, IM me on AIM or message me on here AND WE CAN DO BATTLE.

ALSO I woke up yesterday morning with this huge scratch down one of my cheeks. My sister thought I was bleeding from my eye at first and the thing is I don't remember doing it or anything. It's weird! I musta done it in my sleep or something o_O It's really bizarre, but doesn't hurt or anything. Just looks like I was attacked by something with... pincers. Fff.

I also posted some icons to my comm, and I intend to do a lot more since I've been feeling the icon bug again lately. Expect some of my Roxas and Axel ones to be redone so they look better, and also some more comic ones! Feel free to watch the comm if you like as I intend to use it a lot more!

So I finally have enough money to even consider buying a new tablet! Hopefully I'm going into London tomorrow and getting it \o\ I want the new Bamboo so bad ;A; the biggest one too. GOD why am I such a Wacom sellout. I've really been finding it hard to cope without a tablet. Its frustrating because I have TWO PERFECTLY GOOD ONES, they just refuse to listen to me SIGH. Hopefully I'll be able to find a cheap scanner too, since I've not had a scanner for like.. a year and a half. 8|a

BUT TODAY! I walked to work with my sister who works in the same place as me on Fridays, and we passed a Charity shop that had a few of the stuff it sells outside the shop? And there, sitting on a fugly couch, was an acoustic guitar, with about two strings. I didn't think anything of it, since I was late for work, and it was only till I was about 2 hours in that I decided that I WANTED THAT GUITAR FOR NO GOOD REASON! So my sister went to get it in her break! The lady at the shop had two guitars she was selling, one without strings and the one I'd seen before. She wanted more money for the one with the two strings apparently, because it HAD TWO STRINGS, but according to Hannah it was in really bad condition. SO she got me the other one.

So now I have an Acoustic guitar, without strings and with slightly rusty tuning peg things for £3 (about $5). Hannah's boyfriend said that he'd be happy to go with me to a guitar shop to get the pegs replaced, and he'll restring it for free (he's in a band and plays lead electric 8D). \o\ SO PURA IS GOING TO LEARN GUITAR. Or try. I've also decided that I'm going to get a absurdly coloured ukulele (I SAW A NEON GREEN ONE LAST TIME I WAS IN THE MUSIC SHOP, I WANTED IT SO HARD) at some point, since they are smaller and easier to learn from I think. But I AM EXCITED. More than I probably should be orz.

man the world hates me right now.

The first bit of creative juices that I've gotten flowing in literally a month or two and my tablet just dies on me.

It has been acting up for the past couple times i've been using it, and today it just refused to do anything. The light was flashing saying that it was on, but the pen did not register when I touched the tablet. I thought the battery had run out so I changed it, and there was no difference. The wires are sort of frayed where they go into the actual tablet (its an Aiptek Slim 600U) so I figured that its just decided to die on me.

cut for parental/job hunting RAEG )


Anyways, now that raeg is off my chest, I do have an old wacom graphire but I think its broken as thats the reason I replaced it with the Aiptek so I'll probably never actually get to draw this picture tonight (and by draw I mean ink and colour on the computer. I actually drew it on paper first). I suppose if I use the money from the manga sales to pay for a new tablet I could get away with getting an A4 wacom bamboo, but I'm not sure since they are like £170. EDIT: Oh wait, the A5 ones are £170. My mistake. *sobs*

Does anyone want to recommend graphic tablets to me? I want an A4 sized one (normal printing paper size) and I'm on a tight budget, but suggestions would be nice.
