it's the small things

Alright so I saw some people complaining about the apparently new LJ posting system, and I wanted to check it out. It looks the same to me, though.

Uni life's been hectic as ever, and it's just three weeks into the semester. It's been hard keeping myself awake until the wee hours in the morning like I've done during the holidays. I tend to sleep everything off now.

Well, it's also partly because I'm really... annoyed at my family. I know I shouldn't be feeling like this because it's still a pretty functional family compared to those seriously troubled ones out there, but it's just very hard keeping my emotions inside and my mouth shut. I got this puzzle-shaped piece of paper from my senior buddy just a few days ago, and she told us to poke a tiny hole through it every time we 'commit a sin'. I get the feeling mine will be covered in holes in no time because I keep thinking... just, really bad things.

Which is pretty funny because I keep drawing really happy, fluffy, peaceful art whenever I draw or doodle. It's almost like my mind is subconsciously trying to counter the negativity of itself. Like now, I'm drawing Spongebob!US and Squidward!UK.

Anyways, we're currently enjoying a one-week holiday because of Idul Fitri/Ramadhan. And my other grandma just arrived and will be staying throughout the holiday. She smells of old things and powder and she's the best grandma. I'll be catching up on my homework essays, and hopefully draw something. I really miss my tablet.

Also, look what I've found when I was looking for fonts for my Typography Book: US & UK.

Heee <3

I'll comment here, instead of the old one.
Been busy with all those tutorials. I really don't get Digital electronics. How can simple algebra and addition of binary numbers (1,0) be so hard?!

-cough cough- Anyway, I'm socialising pretty well, which appalls me to a certain extent. I'm aware I can socialise, but... why do I feel complicated when I'm with them. They're not the "usual" (classified as ours?) bunch of people, and while they do have a pretty mad streak (partying or being really random), they can be pretty studios too. At least for a few. Our group has a range from the very smart (HCI) to the neighbourhood JCs. So it's pretty interesting to see this interaction.

Typography sounds really interesting. It seems fun. Man, I realise I do have an interest and passion in art, but I'm not willing to pursue it that in-depth. Beyond the normal fear of jobs and everything, I have this inferiority complex. Looking at the drawings in VAS, I feel sucky. Hah... It's just me anyway, I know. I'll get over this sooner or later.

Talking about that, I do feel more confident in my drawings. Currently, I'm uploading some files onto DA, for virtual archiving purposes. They're the more... presentable works, but it's also a supposed progress track.

Pfft... allow me to rant for forgetting how uploading at DA works.

Yea, I know Mr Tay. He was short too wasn't it? Hah, but I think they give off different vibes. Animated, yes, but my tutor (sorry not lecturer) is more... engaging. I must learn not to mutter under my breath because he has excellent hearing.

Yea, I know about the CCA thing. That's why I'm really turned off now. I've had some trouble with my tutorials and only by staring at it and attempting for hours at end, was I able to solve a single question. Can you imagine what happens if I have CCA?!

Nah, I don't think I'll be really happy. While I do watch anime and read manga, it's not that deeply ignited and entrenched in me as others view it. Yea, well, I didn't mean to want it to be like an Art club, just that... isn't it really overrun to be an anime club? Then the term visual arts doesn't make any sense.

OMG .__." I'm freaked out by the fast pace of the internet... why are people adding my works to favs instantly while I'm uploading?!

And... what's with the Jazz and Archery combination attitude...? Well, in the end, I might not be joining anything. Hahaha
