Yeah, going to my auntie's until 3rd September. I'LL MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH.

BUT! I may still have internet connection, so all is not lost! AND - I will be back with new art.

Btw, everyone check out the new Otep album, Smash the Control Machine. I recommend Rise Rebel Resist, and the legendary 'Where the river ends'.

In 1st: Indestructible by Disturbed You can really feel the power coming off this piece. The song: [link]

Ize 19 today. Hooray!

I've had a nice day, just went to a specialist cake shop, yet had no cake because the toasted sandwich I had filled me up too much! I got loads of books - Stone Cold by Robert Swindells (~herakushi's recommendation) Haunted by Chuck [can't-spell-his-last-name] (=cxsankh's recommendation) and Night Rising - a vampire book with a strong female character and hopefully no sex (because that's all vampires are about these days -_-). There are a few other books that are on their way I think (ie A Great and Terrible Beauty, another =cxsankh recommendation), but other than that, I just got an Epica cd. Yahoo!

What a great birthday, I've had a blast.

And I love you all for the lovely comments you've been leaving me.

And I'll now be resuming as co-admin of . We've got a contest on by the way! Exciting stuff.

I read a couple of books while on holiday, one was 'The Naked Ape' by Desmond Morris (AWESOME) and the other was 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck (AWESOME but sad). Also, everyone go listen to Sonne by Rammstein. I'm addicted. ( is pardoned though since she's still getting through Epica! ).

I'm halfway through a beach pic at the moment but should be finishing it soon.

Hope you're all well!!!
