I just made a new account. ~Skeeze is a nickname I am no longer willing to use. I would rather have a more serious username.

I don't know if I will still use this account. Most likely not, even though I'll still use it as an archive.

New Account:

Why, oh why, did I post pictures from my cell phone?! That's just abusing the Scraps system. Seriously!

I deleted one of them, the less pleasant one. I only have one, which doesn't look so bad.

In other news, I think I should be leaving some dA communities/clubs. I grew out of this whole community nonsense. Besides, many of them are filled with whiny "emo" kids.

I haven't made a dA entry for about two months.

If you want, I might update my journal with a story behind my username. That might happen in a while; I don't know when. I also need to post more art. I have a tendency to write and sketch, but I hardly post anything here. It's funny when people constantly tell me to post more art. They don't know that some, or many, artists are quite finicky with their art. Sometimes, we know when a picture has imperfections. We don't want people to know that. They don't need to see those things. We want them to see the decent works. We don't want to put our audience down. We shouldn't fill their message centre with sketches, scraps, or mediocre artwork. Some might say how all of my drawings are great, but they don't know much about art. It's sweet of them to say compliments, but their feedback doesn't really work.

If you think otherwise, then kudos to you. It is courageous to show most of your works, whether it's good or bad. People should always know what you're doing. People should always know your real nature. That's good, since every artist makes both good and bad drawings. We make mistakes, so the bad ones will always emerge among the good ones.

It's been almost a month since I update this journal.

Not to worry! I'm still alive.

I apologise for having the triple-posts. dA has a hard time loading on my browser (and I know it also happens to other people).

Okay, let's see. I turned sixteen today. My grandmother was the first one to wish me a happy birthday. Then, my father came next. He deserved to be first, but too bad. I feel sorry for him, though he didn't take advantage of the chance he had. He was in my room minutes before midnight.

I woke up at 9:30 with a text message from my older brother. Then came the calls from other family members. I was supposed to go to the mall with my aunt and cousins at 10:00. They ended up coming at around 10:30. One of my cousins wasn't feeling well.

The mall was fine. I went to the Apple store in order to have a glimpse of the software and programmes they sold (e.g. Macs, iPods, Photoshop CS2 etc.). I was planning to get a Wacom Intuos 3 (6x8) from Amazon. It should have been my father's gift. Yet, my aunt found a Wacom Intuos 3 (4x6) in the store. So, I decided to get that one instead. It's smaller, though I might not need a bigger one anyway. My aunt paid for it, but it's still my father's gift. He'll give her the money that was spent.

I like my gifts, but I'm glad I've started to give here and there. I'm talking about Christmas and other occasions. During my fifteenth year, I finally learned that giving felt much better than receiving, especially giving something that came from the heart.

Later, I got a few other things in other stores. Nothing of much importance in this case.

In the end, I spend some time with my grandparents. We went to the supermarket and ate dinner at home. We got the food from a restaurant near the supermarket. I'm satisfied with all of that. I don't need that big sweet sixteen crap to make me happy. Don't let MTV tell you how all teens act. They give the decent teens a pretty bad name.

I'm finally sixteen! It's time to learn more things in life.

By the way, I hate this no subscription thing next to message centre. Good job, dA; good job! It's quite ridiculous. It makes an interference with me checking the messages. I would love to give some money to this site, but they went a bit too far with this.

Now, it's time to get the hang of the new tablet. It's very useful.
