Hi Guys,
I know, I know. I haven't wrote in years. I keep meaning to but then I don't. By the time I go through all your wonderful new deviants, comment them all and read the journals the time just goes by. So, trying to think back to where I left off..............

My cat is currently screaming at me to feed him. So many things to do, so little time...

So. I'll start from today. Haven't really done much. Should be studying, finishing assignments what not. But that hasn't happened, it's the weekend. But it needs to be done. I was expecting to go to my best friends this afternoon to hang by the pool with some cocktails. But that never happened. Her parents have gone out to the Amatures - a race day thing, which is most popular for the fashion, so her Mum cancelled on me at the last minute so I couldn't go. So I was pretty bummed as it was her 17th on Thursday and I didn't get to go out to dinner with her because I have been studying and stuff all week for exams. I also thought that I'd attempt to clean my room. It's now 10 times worse to when I started........don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight bahaha. Oh well, I'll just put it all back on the floor and leave it for another day.

My cat has now jumped on me wanting attention............ hahaha.

Exams, blarg. Had science on Tuesday, haven't done this terms work but surprisingly got through it and I think I will easily pass......... so that's weird. It was all on stuff about the heart, keeping healthy, diseases and what not, and communcication. There was I think 2 questions out of the whole exam that I was unsure of. So that's good, I just hope I pass, I'll know by the start of next week. I'm also without my lappie. Poor thing died on me Friday mornign after it did a Windows update. I was like nooooooooooooooooooooo. So I'm now on my computer, so at least I had something to fall back on. But it doesn't have my new photos and such so that sucks. But I'll have to deal with it. I don't really need it, technically. I should be doing my science assignments though. They need to be in this week as it's the last week of the term. It's nearly the end of the year!!! I can't believe how quick it has gone. I'm going back to school next term, mainstreaming school. So I'm a little freaked about that. I've only been doing home schooling for 2 years now, so I have been to high school and stuff before.

I finished my fashion design course this week. So I was pretty bummed about that. But going back to school should pick that up anyway. I'll be studying Visual Art, finishing off my year 12 Graphics, revising English and Maths, and continuing on with Distance Education for Science, because the school I'm going to doesn't offer that particular course. But it's all good. Hopefully it'll all work out. I have my 5 year plan for what I'm going to do after I finish school and then I'm off to college then university, so hopefully it'll all work out. I'm pretty excited.


Okay,
So I've completely lost my spot now. I'm on webcam mucking around on Facebook and msn. What a life, huh? What have you all been up to? It's been years!! Hahah. Okay, two weeks. But still.
Take care, and it'll be good to hear from you all. Hopefully on the holidays (In one week) i'll get some new deviations up It will be splendid.
Lots of love,
Jessica.

Hey guys,
Wasn't going to post anything, but I thought I better just so the ones who know me won't worry. Probably didn't notice me gone anyhow. Umm. Quick update.
Nothing much has changed. Went home for the weekend. Got completly wasted Friday night. Cranky Saturday. Got hit on by drunks. Saturday night out with a good mate, stole a bin. Slept. Came home today. And now I'm off to bed. 12 past 11. So yes, an up and down week/weekend. What have the rest of you guys been up to? Would love to hear from ya'll.
Take care.
Sorry this is short, I'll update it later in the week, perhaps.

Hey Deviants,

How are we all this week? I know I haven't kept up this weekly journal thing I had going on, but last week was a big one and I'll elaborate more on what I've been up to this week later in the journal. So ah man I really need to upload some new deviations, seeing I say it every week and never do. I'm so hopeless sometimes. Things just never seem to change. I'm currently counting down the days to the TimeOut concert. For those of you who haven't heard of the concert, it's an annual concert they hold in Cairns with a variety of bands, free to the public. Free in the sense if you buy the local paper 12 times to get 12 tockens you are eligible for one free ticket to the concert, opposed to $50 pre-sold tickets or $60 at the gate of the concert. But to
me it's free because my Mum works at a school and they get in over 20 papers a day which don't get read and get thrown out each day so she very kindly kept the tokens for me. (: So I can't wait for that, it shall be rather awesome. (: And I will get heaps of photos.Hmm so I can't think of anything else to report besides last weekend. As I posted in my last journal I was having a bit of a down moment and getting depressed and stuff so I decided to visit back home to get a change of scenary and a change of mind. However I was soon depressed again this week and was crying nearly everyday. Which made me rather tired and uneasy all week. Which is unfortunate, I guess. So anyway, I went back home to the small coutnry town of Malanda, which is an hours drive up the Gilley's Range. Saw my Grandma briefly, and my beautiful doggie, then went on my voyage up to the high school to surprise my best friend when she got out of class. I was walking along the highway and didn't get there in time but she actually drove past in her Grandfather's car and I waved and she was shocked. My plan had worked. I kept walking on to see another friend however I heard my best friend yelling from behind me. I turned around and ran at her, practically tackling her upon greeting. Haven't heard/spoken/seen her for probably 5 months because of personally reasons I had pushed her away in fury but it's all good now and we're back to being the friends we always were. We spent a few hours together then she fogged me off Friday night to spend time with her "boyfriend" so I was pretty cut. But then we went to the lake Saturday all day to tan, as it's Winter here and rather cold up on the Tablelands!!!!! We were tanning out on the pontoon and some Germans and Belguim backpackers layed next to us to also tan, it was rather random. hahha. Then we did a lot of other stuff there then went back home to get dressed to go out and find a party on. We went to the local cafe' for dinner. It's called the Phoenix. It was recently burnt down along with another 5 or so shops in the main street from some arsonists. Was pretty big on the news as it's practically half our shops hahahahaha. So now it's risen from the ashes to become the best cafe'/takeaway shop in Malanda. (No one likes the owner of the other one, she underpays her staff and is a bitch. smug look. Karma.) So then we texted many people to try and get a ride somewhere and eventually got some guy to take us out and we drove to another small town which has a school with like 9 kids and one hall, and that's the town. Lol. So we tried to find the party that was there but there was none, then we drove around and couldn't find any so we went back into town and met up with some of his friends and went to the local pub and hung out there for a bit. So that was pretty much all we did, then I went home Sunday. So I plan to go back there this weekend because my best friend is having a cocktail party. So all us girls are going. Should be rather fun. (: More photos. YAY. And then in 7 weeks it's my best friends Debutante Ball, so that should be great. It's such a beautiful scene seeing all the girls dressed up in there dresses. And in three weeks it's my other best friends 17th birthday, so I'm REALLY looking forward to that. So
-This weekend partying (August 22)
-Weekend after: TimeOut concert (August 30)
-Best Friend's 17th (September 11)
-Debutante Ball (October 11)
-Friends 19th (November 3rd)
-My 17th, cousins 20th (November 5th)
-Graduation (December 4th)
-Presentation Evening (December 6th)
I'll be all partied out. Seems I'll be busy. The year is nearly over wow. It's gone so quick!
So who's been watching the Olympics? Come on the Aussies. We've been winning a few gold and other medals. It's been pretty good. I particular enjoy diving. There has been some good beach volleyball and hockey games on though that we've won, of course. Haha. What country are you supporting?
So I'll leave it at that. Don't really want to talk about my week, just emotional stuff happened and little things have set me off easily. But, yeah. I'll upload a photo of my bestfriend and I now before I forget, a photo from the lake.

If anyone has Facebook, Bebo, MySpace feel free to add me. As I live off them all, not really MySpace but I still use it. I'm not sure of the addresses, so just note me or something.

So I hope everything is well with everyone. My back is sore from sitting in this position on my bed. I'm waiting for a dear friend of mine to come online, but I guess he's not going to...So take care, and I'll talk to you all next week. Have a good week.
Love Jess.

Hey guys, just a quick update. I'm having a little bit of a down moment at the moment so I think I might just stay off this for a bit and see how things go. I'm thinking of going back home on the weekend with my Dad to see my Grandma, and my beloved dog that I'm missing incredibly. Also to patch things up with my best friend. So I think I need the weekend to just chill out and relax to let my head think and get my head around things that's happening. I'll take my camera up and get some photos of my gorgeous dog for you all to see and hopefully a nice shot of my bestie and all. I hope everything is well with you all and I'll be back with my new journal on Sunday. And reply to any comments I get then as well. (If I actually get any..)
All the best.

Hey DA's.
How are we all this week? Yet again, another week has come and gone and I feel like I've accomplished nothing, or not a lot. At the moment, I'm really tired. I've been good lately, I usually get really tired in the days and by the afternoon have a nap, but I've cut back on that lately which to me is great. I'm watching America's Next Top Model -- my gosh some people think they're all that. Why are some people so up themselves and think they're so much better then everyone else? I hate it when people act like that. To me, everyone is equal. We all have equal beauty, some can just work it better then others. Or that's what I think, anyway. So my week. I've gone completely blank thinking what I've done. I'm ever so sorry for not uploading any new deviations as I said I would in my last journal. I feel so gay that I always do that -- I say I'm going to do something, then I never follow through. However, I did upload a photo of my gorgeous baby Barney. He's about 7 years old now, and has been there with me for a long time. He means a lot to me and I wish he was a better cat, sometimes. So even though I haven't uploaded any new deviations this week -- besides Barney -- I have been working, slowly. I started my fashion design course work and I have finish one drawing, nearly. I shall finish it tonight, I only have the head to finish and then it's done. We're currently focusing on line and different types of line so that'll be the focus of the drawings I upload. So that was Thursday. Before my course I went shopping with my Mum, as we are doing all the time lately, it's great. I love shopping. Oh the things us women can do. So I was shopping and saw this gorgeous yellow dress in the window, so I asked the lady inside if I could try it on, I tried it on and it was a perfect fit, except I need to take it in just a tad at the back so it's better fitting around the bustline. But taking it home, I tried it on again and decided it's very bright and fun. So I'm going to wear it to my best friend's graduation in a couple of months, unless I find something I like even more. So I can't wait. Very excited! Yay.

So I had a bit of a down moment on Wednesday, this week. Being at my age it's a push to find a pathway to a career, and for years I've been finding that a very hard experience. I've gone from being interesting in architecture, then to being a photographer wanting to major in weddings or portraiture. I then turned to art, which has always been a love of mine. But have struggled to find a specific field in art, as it is such a wide subject. I decided the easiest thing would be to become an art teacher with Maths and Graphics up my sleeve as I excel in those areas. I love Mathematics, it's a passion of mine, as well as Art. However Graphics has become a drag for me doing the whole home schooling experience and losing the one on one learning with a teacher. They also get good holidays and great pay. I would also have the option of travelling with my studies which is something I've always wanted to do. However, teaching is not something I would particuarly want to persue, as a career and all. Everyone says I should because I like to talk and all, but I don't think I'd be able to handle bratty children...I know the way I was when I was in school and it wasn't pretty. So anyways, I was looking at courses I could pertake next year and I decided to study Applied Fashion Design and Technology except however, unfortunately it is full time so I won't be able to cope with full time and having to complete the remains of my schooling studies. So I was extremely looking forward to that and had my hopes up so high until I found out it was full time and got completely smacked in the face. So unfortunately I have to put these studies off until 2010 and complete a lower course that isn't full time. But doing this other fashion course that I am currently doing has put some insights to persuing this as a career. I enjoy drawing, and I'm enjoying learning about designing, and eventually learning how to do the dressmaking side of things. I'm really into fashion and I think this will be great in the long run. I'm particularly interested in weddings, and ball gown type themes so I'm planning on studying to be a teacher to get some money and doing fashion design on the side until I make a name for myself then working up to have my own bridal shop selling my original designs with bridal wear, race gear, and formal and ball gowns. This is my plan for now, whether it goes this way, only the future will tell. So I shall leave it at that. This has been a long journal. Thank you for all who take the time to actually read this, if not, then that's cool. Hahaha.

So it has taken me like 4 hours to write this with distractions from the TV and such. I started this at 6.30pm it is now 10.30pm but I hope you are all well and I'd love to hear from you all.
Oh, and I was reading my magazine the other day and came across this quote, I thought it was nice. Actually can't seem to find the quote, so I'll share this one instead. It's out of Harper's Bazaar June/July 2008.
What makes something new, is the experience.

Sorry this was long. Take care.

EDIT: Okay, yes, technically this was posted on "Monday" because I posted it at 12.02AM haha

Hey Deviants,
I'm writing again on a Sunday. Maybe this will be a weekly ritual. I've been on DA for just over two weeks now, I think. Thank you to all the people who have favoured my work and are watching me, it means a lot. However I know I don't have much work up at the moment and am swamped with my studies so I don't have much time to work on my art work - which kills me. I really wish I could just stop doing everything to work 24/7 on art, I'd be in heaven. But unfortunately for now I have to put it off, as I have been doing for the last 6 months. However, I started my new Fashion & Design course last Thursday, which was fantastic. So I have some homework for the course to complete by Wednesday night, so I might start that tomorrow night, Tuesday morning...so hopefully I shall get a new Deviation up by Tuesday afternoon/night with Wednesday at the latest. So this should be good, I have some good ideas in mind, I hope they turn out alright. So anyways. Nothing much else has been happening lately this week. I have no motivation for school, and am getting slowly depressed. Quite sad really, but that's life I guess. ANYWAYS, what's been happening with everyone else? I'd love to hear from you all, and if you haven't realised already from myself writing to you, I like to ramble on and write long comments, and comment constantly on everyone's work. It's a habit, whether it's a good or bad one, I'm yet to discover. SO if anyone would like their work critiqued or commented on, I'm more then happy too. So here's to a new week, starting tomorrow. Hopefully it will be better then the last ones. I also have been tagged twice today, which I have posted below, but for now I shall leave this week on this quote:
