Tragic Accidents

2007-08-31T21:39:00.000-07:00

I have been gone for so long. Well, since I've been gone, many tragic things have happened. Our little dog Jessie has passed on. Also, the bad dogs next door killed our momma goat, Ducky. The dogs got put down, which to us is a good thing. I know I shouldn't be happy that dogs have died, but they were so dangerous. They were two large German shepherds that could have easily have killed me or my sister, Jenny. I would write more, but it's hard talking about it...

All Better

2007-08-06T11:44:00.000-07:00

For a couple of weeks I was not feeling normal. I was worn out and felt like I had very little energy. I also had trouble falling asleep. But now, I am starting to feel better. I've been drinking soymilk instead of milk, so maybe I am lactose intolerent. It's possible because milk upsets my sister and grandfather. Who knows, maybe it was some kind of virus. We did bloodwork and all the tests came back negative-mono, valley fever, lupus, thyroid problems, diabetes- which is great. I hope whatever it is (or was) is gone now.

Originally this was a painting of a building in the city at night, but I painted over the building and used pastels to make the grass and the moonglow.

Well, I have changed my blog again. If you have been here recently, you saw the plaid header and yellow backround. I'm glad it's gone. I got the flower backround from an assorted box of cards and took it into Photoshop to add the "Katie the Queen".I am so proud!

Illustration Friday "Twist"

I just looked at this piece this morning and thought "this will be my twist!"

Three Trees

2007-06-30T12:12:00.000-07:00

I made this a while back, but I was very proud of myself when I made it. I used pastels and acrylics.

Bad Day

2007-06-29T16:44:00.000-07:00

I'm just having a plain old rotten day. I should probably get a good night's rest. My mom and I went down to buy paint for my room and I was very excited when we got home. So, we tested the paint on the wall, and it is really yellow. Not neon, but not what I wanted, so I'm a little upset with that. I've pretty much been a couch potato since then. Maybe sometime when I feel a little better I'll post some pictures of my bedroom.

A blog header I experimentally made for Piotr.

The header and little picture was made by me! I am so proud of myself. With a little help from my mom, I have a newly decorated blog for the summer. I love it, I love it, I love it!!!

Thanks Tammy!

2007-04-23T14:26:00.000-07:00

Tammy Vitale interviewed me for a young emerging artist , so if you're interested, check it out! Hopefully I'll create and post more art. It got me inspired to do more work, but testing in school this week will definitely set me back. Well, I hope you get to see the interview on Tammy's blog(there's even a good picture of me!)!

Been Gone for Long

2007-04-06T07:15:00.000-07:00

Well speaking of long, I cut my hair on Wednesday night. It is now a little below my shoulders. I might get bangs soon, but who knows. I woke up early this morning thinking I had school, but I have a 4 day weekend.The goats are still cute, although Gryphon is WAY bigger then Phoenix. We recently burned their horns, which stops the horns from growing. We did this for various reasons. My mom mentioned that if the get caught on the fence with their horns on a hot day, they could get dehydrated. Also, without horns they can't hurt us.Yesterday, I was looking through scrapbooks with my sister and it was fun to see myself in pictures when I was a baby. I'll try to find a good one to post. Well, I'm off to the studio to make "green" for my Illo. I also have to reply to a tag.

Rejected

2007-03-11T10:08:00.000-07:00

Well, the baby goats have names. The brown goat is Gryphon and the little gray one is named Phoenix. The momma goat is not accepting Phoenix. She actually threw him over her back yesterday with her horns! I started crying, it was so horrible. We are now bottle feeding him. He is so funny though. He climbs on the stacks of books and plays with one of our small dogs. Right now, he is sleeping under the desk. He is the cutest thing ever! So is Gryphon, but we don't see him as much. We are going to let the momma out and reunite the two brothers. I think we are going to do that now.

Baby Goats

2007-03-07T18:56:00.000-08:00

Our goat, Ducky, had three adorable baby goats. One of them died(the only girl), something just wasn't right. The other two are very healthy. One is brown and one looks like the mommy.Click here if you would like to see some pictures. They are so cute!

6 Weird Things About Me

2007-02-16T18:10:00.000-08:00

I've been tagged by Emila! So now, I have to write six weird things about myself:

1. When I wear jeans, the metal buttons give me a rash under my belly button.
2. I have a freckle on the top of my head.
3. When I was little, there were about two and a half years where I would wer nothing but dresses.
4. I used to eat spoonfuls of butter.
5. One year, during a basketball game, I passed the ball through someone's legs.
6. I don't get sick when I'm watching or comforting someone while they're barfing.

I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to making any Illustrations for IF. I got Superhero halfway done and didn't even brainstorm for Red, so I can't say I will get Sprout done but, I will try. I'm just so caught up in school , which you can say is a good thing, so I might not get around to it.

Basketball game at school today. It was more of a slapping fight than a basketball game. The other team was a rude rude team. At one point, I turned around and smirked to the girls sitting out on the other team. I don't really care if we lost. Anyway, I am still going to post my IF: Superhero even tho it's late.

My submission for Illustration Friday. I made three different things before I was happy with what I made. My mom liked them all and wondered why I didn't, too.

Oh No

2007-01-07T10:06:00.000-08:00

My sister's cat, Jane, has a large(deep)wound from who knows what.
Possibilities of the Attacker:
1.Bad Dogs (the two german sheperds next door)
2.Mountain Lion
3.***Racoon***

My guess is the racoon because we have this cat food dispenser outside and the racoon could have attacked Jane while eating. My parents think that too

Happy 2007!!! I'm sorta glad that 2006 is over, but I just got used to writing 2006 at the top of my paper. But now it's time for a new start. Wow. Just think, no more 2006 forever. Never again. That was the only 2006, and now, it's gone forever.

Bored at my House

2006-12-28T16:18:00.001-08:00

Today is really boring. My sister and I were braindead and couln't think of anything to do. With that said, I am totally bored. All I can do is play Age of the Empires, and wait for more comments on my blog. My sister and I cleaned out her fishtank. It was a total mess and not to mention disgusting. All that is left to do is clean. I need to mention that I am already sick of that today. I cleaned my room, and my sister's fishtank. It doesn't sound like much until you see my room and then you will feel bad for me. It goes from spotless to disaster in the matter of one day. When my mom cleans it, that makes it two until it becomes a mess again.She gets really mad and wonders what she is doing wrong.But it's actually me doing something wrong. Well my sis is waiting, so I have to stop writing.

Happy Holidays!

I don't know about you, but I had a great Christmas. I got an Onyx Nintendo DS Lite. For all of you who don't know what that is, it has a touch screen, a stylus, you can do download play with another DS owner and do a thing called "pictochat" which is kinda like IMing. And the best part of all, I love it!

Today was just the usual. Well I guess it wasn't that boring. Anyway, I'm going to eat an ice cream cone and celebrate because IT'S THE WEEKEND!!! Well not so fast, tomorrow, I have a choice to make. I can either go to the bowling party that my friend has been planning for months(and be the only one to come that was invited), or I can go to my sisters birthday party(that we have been putting off for 2 weeks). I don't know which to pick!!

I practiced my clarinet and boy do my lips hurt. All that pressure and biting down hurts my mouth. But hey, it's all worth it. I have the best music director in the world and DON'T DOUBT THAT!!! He is the best. I love him a lot. He works very hard to make sure the students get the proper education that they need. (HINT: We always earn Superior in the major music festival in our area)(That's how good he is) (and the children)(What's up with parenteses thing? Hmmmm.) Anyway, I could talk, excuse me, write about him forever!!!

Mrs. M and her sons

2006-11-28T16:24:00.000-08:00

Mrs. M is the best teacher ever. And her two sons are soooooo cute. I babysat the youngest one and played with our Brio trains, and I'll tell you, one year olds adore Brio trains. He kept rolling them off the bridge and watching them crash. He also crashed into the couch and said "BOOM". He is so cute. The oldest child was in class with Mrs. M and he spun her around on her chair. It was hilarious. He climbed through the spinny chair. They are both too cute.

I Wonder...

I wonder if sharks can hear us scream. Or shriek. Or squeal. I'm afraid to go in the ocean again. My brother is DEATHLY afraid of them. Last time we went to swim in the ocean, there was a sea lion about 20 feet away from him. I mentioned to him what my friend's dad mentioned to me. I told him that maybe a shark was following it. He immediatly got out of the water. Anyway, I really wonder if they can hear us.

Dinah is the most adorable puppy you will ever get mad at. She barks and bites...like a puppy, but sometimes she lays down and is calm. She loves water, so we will probably take her to the lake or at least get her a plastic pool made for little kids. She splashes around in the water dish outside.She is so funny!

I guess they hate being responsible too. Just to let you know, I finished my homework. Don't worry I am not planning to drop out or anything. Hey! On my brother's blog, he spelled our dog's name "Dyna" instead of Dinah. She is adorable. I'll write something separate about her.

You can waddle around, dance like you mean it and have a cuppa coffee if you want. this cute little place is called Club Penguin. You can create a free account, or become a member. Being a member allows you to upgrade your igloo, buy furniture for your igloo, buy clothes and buy the cute little puffles. Puffles are pets for penguins. They resemble a dust bunny, but much cuter. You can still buy a blue puffle no matter what. To get coins, you play games such as Ice Fishing, Cart Surfer or Ballistic Biscuit. You can also buy a new color member or not. There is lots more to say, but I'm afraid there is too much. Why don't you try it. I'm sure you will like it!

Polka Dots!!!

2006-08-04T08:45:00.000-07:00

I love polka dots. They can describe your personality easily. Like, if you are wearing pink polka dots that are small, you would probably be a dainty girly-girl. If you are wearing an itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny yellow polka dot bikini, you probably like to hang out at the beach(since you are brave enough to wear a bikini in public).

My mother's aunt died on July 27th. So we have all (my family) been mourning her death. I hate it when people you love and adore die. Reminds me of the song, 100 years, by Five For Fighting.
