Finally my exams are finally over after 2 whole months away from dA!

And to celebrate I'll be putting up a new deviation everyday for a month, starting with today's Shining:



Everything's so pretty in the summer it just inspire photography!

And to kick the summer off, a wonderful cold ¬_¬ not best pleased.

Hope you're all having a wonderful summer & check back everyday for something new


P.S I also just recently got Instagram (cue criticism that it's not a 'real' art site...), but come follow me anyway? CharleyLucy, I follow back! All the photos are from my phones's rather decent camera so they'll all be very different from the ones on dA.

It's late. I'm tired. And I really should probably be in bed.

So what's been happening with me lately?

I've been running the House system at my school with PeakeMcPeake...and subsequently danced, sung, dressed and made a fool of myself in front of everyone. Loved every second of it. It's something I have secretly wanted to do since I was a wee little Year 7. I'm nerdy like that. Haha, seriously, I got asked if I liked school the other day and sat and raved about just how geeky I was. True story.

I have begun gaming again...as it's the holidays and revision is slowly killing me. Mostly TF2 and some Pokemon and Harvest Moon on the Gameboy (hardcore I know ). Anyone here have a Steam account? Leave it below and I shall find you! Also, speaking of TF2, I think the time has come to sadly admit defeat and buy a new laptoppy. My baby has lasted me 4 years and will soon be celebrating its 5th birthday and it just can't cope - okay, so that's a lie, it can cope fine, it's just slower...ish... - so before Uni I'll be treating myself, with my own money, to a brand new decent one which should last me another 5.

What else is new? Ooh I got a fringe, that's right, because I've been wanting one for ages and slowly got more cut off each time. It's a long kinda edgy side-fringe but I think I'm just going to get it all cut the same length next time and had a...a...box fringe! I think that's the one... Welcome to the inner monologue in my brain. I am literally just typing this out as it pops into my head.

Speaking of, I have a karate grading in LESS THAN A MONTH...which, admittedly is kinda cool. But I pretty much have it down. I think. Bar a couple of slight positional correction errors I need to work on... I love doing it. It just makes me fee so - excuse the term - 'zen' afterwards. It's not calm or focused or energized...so zen is the best way I have of explaining it right now. I'm not a big keep fit freak, I just like it, karate that is, not exercise as a general rule. Running kills me. Self-defense keeps me 'zenned'. I . And do a fair bit of walking to, which I really like doing as well. I need to take my camera out with me more often when the weather picks up again to see what I can see. I always get that. For example, when I'm in a car, I see the perfect shot lining up, right outside the window and realise either 'Oh noes! I don't have a decent enough camera to snap it!' or unzip my purse, remove the camera from its case, turn it on, check the setting, fix the setting...and by this point you can pretty much guess we're 2 miles down the road. Shotless.

What have you guys been thinking of my natury/countryish stuff recently? It's partly due to my new project...but also due to the nice weather we've been having...or should I say had. About two weeks ago. Now it's dull and boring again and it's really uninspiring for shooting. Does anyone else find this? Occasionally rubbish weather = good shooting but this is really only in the case of extremes such as snow, frost, storms, heavy rain...and now drizzle and greyness. Sigh.

I don't really have much else to say, but what a depressing note to end on. The dull, grey weather. Apologies for any typos and /or spelling mistakes and/or flaws and errors in logic. I tend to think like this. It's a wonder I ever make sense to anyone... ¬_¬ I still might not. And as it's 1:13 in the morning, you can pretty much kiss goodbye to the typo check.

What's your favorite Gameboy ever made? I bought myself the whole shebang up to the Nintendo DS Lite. And, if you say the 3DS is your favorite that is quite simply: THE WRONG ANSWER. It gives me headaches, not migraines, because they tend to hurt like hell, I really hate it when people missus that term y'know? But headaches. Behind my eyeballs. I hadn't had the pleasure of one until recently whilst visiting family. Don't get me wrong, it's insanely clever and a break-through in technology, not haviing to have any glasses, let alone the retro blue and red lenses (which, I love by the way and have a few pairs myself). It's just, irritating.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, I forgot the real reason I came over to blog |(doh!). I'm submitting 12 of my photographs into a local competition for a calendar, one for each month. Which I am rather excited about! Might do a blog later in the week asking you what your opinion is with each month fitting to each picture, because I'm a bit unsure of a few myself. Cheerio.

And now I crave a fried egg sarni thanks to my mood.

Ramble rant over. It feels so good to be blogging again!
