Happy New Years!

Well, more like happy new years eve.
I went to a dance last night, and it was pretty cool. Sadly we didn't get home until 1:30. It was pretty crazy because the fog machine set off the fire alarm. The songs were really weird in the way that most of them were remixes and we really didn't know how to dance to them. Thankfully, they did have a lot of slow dances. :)

Also, my new camera has a function where you can edit pictures while they're still on the camera. It's super cool. :D

Hi again.

So another thing I wanted to say was that I finished the Havest Moon comic I was working on. ((c) Natsume Inc.) It ended up being 32 pages long and I fully painted in watercolors and inked. I'm just doing touch-ups with colored pencils now, and I'm happy to have all of the hard stuff finished. I liked doing it though. It made me feel a sense of commitment, in a way. And I'm glad to finish something I started. I would love to do it again, minus all the coloring and inking.

I think I'm going to make it a plan to post a picture on every one of these posts. So here:

I like to call this 'Cardboard Jungle' because Charlotte had so much time playing in it.

And Here's an awful quality picture of a painting I did of Charlotte. I did painting of two kids at my school as well.

Sleepy sleepy sleepy

I think I might be sick, minorly. I've been so tired. Like, if I lean foward to pick up my kitten, when I plop back down all my energy is gone. O_O
Tonight I'm going to go to a dance, and I'm afraid that I'll have no energy to dance. Hopefully that won't be the case and I'll have a comeback. Or my random energy losses can be during the songs I don't like. :)
Here are some photos:



I got a new camera for christmas, so I'll take some pictures with it and upload them soon. Happy December!
I can't wait to get back to school. Staying at home, I'm really sleepy and have nothing to do. I miss some of the kids at my school. you know how when you're buddies with someone, but not good enough friends to really hang out outside school? I like being able to see people at school.

Winter Break. :)

So, usually on breaks I fall into a pit of boredom and despair.
So this time I made a checklist!
So far today I've colored at least....7 pages in my comic, finished a drawing to submit to a contest:

(Harvest Moon (c) Natsume Inc.)

I've also read a chapter of my school book and....eaten lunch. Amazing. Usually I forget or don't bother to eat anything but junk! :)

Acctually....now that I've written it, it sure sounds like I didn't nothing........

Well. I swear I did. And I'm going to get my comic finished by the end of break!

Time Changes.

So I was just looking through some of my old posts, and I found one where I was complaining about waking up at 7:30.

Well, now I look back and I'm like, "Wow Brooke, you're lame".

I mean, 7:30 seems really late when you wake up at 5:45. Which now I do every day before school for seminary.

It's crazy how people can change.

Whoa, it's been a while!

I have to much to say, and very little motivation to say it.
So, I recently attended National Portfolio Day. (Which is held in Washington D.C., and a whole lot of college representatives are there to review your portfolio and give you college info.)

My school has a trip each year (Since we're an arts school) and I was one of the 3 freshmen who attened (More were invited, but didn't go). It was really cool. I met with 9 colleges (After being in line for one of the for 1 hour.) and I just had a really good time. We also went to the national gallery, and the art there is AMAZING. I saw the "Journey of Life" painting (We had looked at them in english class) and they were so stunning in person. They were just amazing.
I also made friends with one of the student teachers (We were dancing randomly in Ruby Tuesday and Union Station) and there was this crazy McDonald's we went to that had a child play area that all made noise. They had a carpet like a piano, where you'd step on the keys and they would play like a piano. It was super cool.

Apart from that, I've been doing paintings. I've been going around to people and asking for their picture to do an acryllic painting. I've done two so far, and one of my kitten. I've also been making fleece hats (I've had quite a few people ask to buy them) and working on a comic. It's a Harvest Moon fan comic, and for some reason, i decided i would watercolor it. It's sort of driving me crazy, beacause it's SO MUCH work watercoloring every page! We're working in watercolor in school now, so it's works out well that way.

Today in church, i got to hold this beautiful baby, and now I really want to babysit her. They had beautiful talks.

Um, I don't really know what else to write about. Have some random information:

--My mom just bought the cutest soup bowls ever. And now I fell adorable when I eat soup.
--We just had 'Wizard Week' at my school, but.....it didn't really go over well....
--Yesterday I went to a party.
--This music is beautiful: https://lds.org/youth/music?lang=eng

Okay, have a beautiful sunday and week!
