I hope you all have had an amazing Christmas!

The Only Exception - Paramore

Aah why do always I get addicted to songs? (: This one is interesting cause it kinda reminds me of my life, haha.

THE ONLY EXCEPTION

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darlin,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

Maybe I know somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping it comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk,

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

Oh
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

Beasts - Slow Moving Millie

This could be our fairy tale
They play the villians for our sword
I could be the Alice to your Wonderland
And find they where the beasts are lain
Where was the dragon slain?

This could be our fairy tale
We’ll make them all disappear
I could be the rabbit to your magic hat
And find where the beast are lain
Where was the dragon slain?

This could be our fairy tale
We’ll fight them all to the end
I could be the arrow to your leader’s eye
And find where the beasts are lain
Where was the dragon slain?

And find where the beasts are lain
Where was the dragon slain?

Must be a Saturday!

Saturday! This week has been strange and rather long. Glad it's here, and about to be gone, haha. Got to catch up on some of my favorite shows: Psych, The Office, and NCIS (OMG A MUST SEE).

This month has been weird and good. I got a job interview, which was really good. My teacher had recommended me to one of her former students who owns a business so he gave her his information for me. So, I called him today and he asked me to send in some examples of my work. I did and he promptly called me back. I was really excited and went to the interview the next day. The guy said since I was inexperienced (true seeing as I never had an official "real" job) he would give me one job to do. If I did it in a short amount of time and a good job on it and he liked it he would hire me as a part-timer. He was supposed to have given it to me a week or so ago but something came up. Oh well, we'll see. I'm going to keep my eyes out for other work. (:

I'm on my last class for my Associates!! I'm really excited about it! XD It's Life Drawing, which meant it's supposed to be drawing nudes and whatnot. Thankfully I talked to my teacher and he gave me a different schedule so I will come in once a week and show him my work. I've got 50 pages of artwork to do. I'm looking forward to getting that much and some more. ;P

Well, going to my friend's house in the boonies this weekend, can't wait! I miss her. :P She's moving about 20 min away from my home around in January, I'm so excited for her! XD

Ah yesh, and here are a few of the graphics I've been working on lately using Photoshp CS3 and Illustrator CS4. ^_^





WEEKEND. Enjoy.
