some random things~

I've updated my layout; both the color and the...layout itself make me feel incredibly nostalgic. I'm not sure if this is a good thing! Sometimes I find myself crying over how much I miss the way things used to be and find present day life to be pretty unbearable! But we'll see. I quite like it. :3

Today as my final class was ending, one of my friends bribed me with Starbucks to stay and talk to her. How could I say no? Free coffee. XD But she ended up not really talking about anything in particular so I guess it was more of a "I'm feeling lonely and I just want to babble with someone" which I can relate to, kind of. Plus, being a resident student, the coffee goes on her meal plan thing so it was kind of free for her as well, kinda. The bad thing is now I know where Starbucks is on campus. XD

I finished the paintings that are due tomorrow (four!) but oh god I really am not a fan of abstract at all. Normally I really like my painting classes but this semester is going to be a struggle. ;;;;

Does anyone have any experience with Mischief? One of my friends was talking about how awesome it is but I like having multiple opinions. I'm downloading it, obviously; SAI is pretty much my go-to but I like having options. :3

ALSO. Does anyone know if there's a friending meme going around anywhere? I would like really like to follow more people on DW and randomly searching interests for like minded people works, but friending memes are pretty fun. |D

YOU CAN DO IT BELIEVE IN YOU.

I know no friending memes, but I do know novel_machinist, bookblather & thebonesofferalletters, all of whom are amazing and would love if you dropped in to say hi!

Someone should totally have a friending meme, like maybe for the start of Spring/Fall or something.

[nanslice]

Oh man, and it should be titled something super cheesy like "Faaaall into a new Friendship!" or something like that lmao. XD

[nanslice]

WELP. Consider them all added. |D

Sweet! Enjoy!

I like the new layout! Reminds me of old LiveJournal days.

I feel you; I am not a fan of abstract art either.

I'd never heard of Mischief! I usually use SAI, Photoshop and Sketchbook Pro. Like you, I like having options. I might try this Mischief program.

I don't know of any active friending memes :(

[nanslice]

Yes! early 2000 era livejournals. All I need is a header (which I'm not going to add, hahaha!).

Some of it is nice! For her capstone, a friend of mine is painting abstract minimalist pieces. I'm not fond of either of these things but her studies were pretty great. But yeah, for the most part I'm not a huge fan. :\

I downloaded it but I haven't had time to really play around with it. It has a 15 day trial and I'm hoping that's a "15 days after you actually open the program" trial, lmao.

...I might be hosting one soonish. They're easy to do; just make the post about it and encourage everyone to spread the word!

(that icon is adorable!)

snickfic is holding one! Here. I knew one would pop up soon.
