Warning, super dorky journal...*dons schooper gheeky voiche* Wow, it's so cool when stuff like this happens.
So I'm listening to a fantastic podcast called The History of England by David Crowther, which talks about said history from the Anglo Saxons and all the way through to the Royal dynasties. I implore you to have a listen to it if you can its absolutely fascinating to listen to when working. I'm listening to it through itunes but I'm sure he'll have links on his website, which is full of insightful references to what he talks about in the show, you can check it out here: http://historyofengland.typepad.com/blog/
This guy is brilliant!!
Anyway, I was listening to an episode about the relationship between Henry II and Thomas Becket,The Archbishop of Canterbury who was Canonised after being murdered at his altar after a misunderstanding in which four Knights mistook the King's meaning when he mentioned he wished he could be rid of him. And after what Mr. Crowther enlightened me to, I don't blame him. He was a bit

A Fool's IdeaWelcome once again to Film in Progress! This is a series of articles I am doing on works in progress by filmmakers and animators. Sometimes in our line of work we don't have a lot to show for a long time because lets be honest, production time for film or animation takes an awful long time so it's difficult to show people what you're working on. So what I hope to achieve in these series of articles is to give you a chance to talk about something you're working on, and if you have stills and other pieces of development work you can show it off here as well!
To take part in this project or for more information just send me a note I can talk to you (and your team if applicable) about it!
Today we have =BlightProductions with his project, A Fool's Idea!

Let us begin by introducing you to the rest of the community first. Who are you? And are you a professional filmmaker?

FDFDKLFsdf':icontso7: Lock is the best man.. EVER. Valentines day wasn't so bad after all. I was sad when I found out he had to work on V-day till 9PM, BUT, he surprised me either way ; u;. He had bought me a cute little pink frog and DMC (which I LOVED btw) for valentines day a couple days back. I didn't expect any more gifts from him, really, I was happy to just spend time with him on V-day after work. Buuuuuuuuuuttt... What does he do? Shows up with a BIG HUGE PINK TEDDY BEAR (Which we named Sashimi), CHOCOLATE, AND MY FAVORITE CRACKERS. This man is the best man ever.. I'll tell him that every minute of the day and 'why' every second. I just adore him.
UGH. And me, my broke ass, wasn't able to get him anything on Valentines Day. I did, however, order him a very special gift. I can't wait for it to get here and for him to open it, I really hope he likes it ; .;
I am the worst wife ever

Social anxiety. Rant.Being down-talked by someone who doesn't have anxiety to simply "get over" it, and that the fact I have anxiety is not even partially to blame that I have issues talking to others and making friends.
Yep.
According to this person, anxiety is simply a "dislike of communication with others" and if you approach communication "blindly head-on" you'll over-come it.
Yep.
'Cause my doctor totally didn't tell me I have an actual issue. They totally didn't urge that I go on antidepressants because I can't even make a phone call to order a fucking pizza. I rejected the medication because I tend to fear the side-effects, but fuck it. I think I personally want them.
I can totally just "get over" this by fucking approaching someone and not giving a damn.
How do I not give a damn when I feel I'm forced to? I can't even explain anxiety. It's like- you understand it if you have it, but if you don't I don't feel you'll ever really understand it. I can't explain it to you. I was in tears of frustration

Just something I wrote out of hope...She pulled the sleeves of her jumper down, a loose thread caught her eye drawing all her attention and then she remembered it all. The blood in front of her seemed as real as the thread and just as red. She loved red. But blue ran down her cheeks from her eyes at the memories. Why, why, why? ran through her mind. An all consuming fire which destroyed all joy she had ever known; all the people, places and things she had loved seemed like nothing against this wall of black, black memory. A salty droplet hit the thread and she was suddenly pulled back into the murky light of the daytime.
"Excuse me?" Came a voice from beside her.
Flinching she looked up Did I do something wrong, again? but instead of the usual malice and hatred were soft blue eyes and tangled blonde hair. He was smiling innocently and looking at her softly.
"You seemed sad," He began with that soft voice "I just wanted to tell you; I don't know you but you're a beautiful individual and that you deserve to li

Oh my god. They played Cendrillon in English ClassOh my gosh.
Well, for the past week, My English teacher has been teaching us the unit of Fairytales. It was just for fun.
Anyway, she offered the plate of extra credit if we bring in a poem or story about a version of Cinderella for us. I brought in the fixed and translated version of "Cendrillon" by Hatsune Miku and Kaito. XD
I told my English teacher this is the extra credit thingy and she told me it was really good and I should share it to my English class.. Oh jeez. I read aloud the English translation of Cendrillon and everybody liked it. I told them it was originally a song, and one of my classmates, Mason HAD to say, " if it's a song, could you sing it to us?"
I replied, "It's in Japanese, how am I suppose to sing it?"
Then my English teacher said, "We have time, we could search it up in YouTube." Then the class shouted yes and my English teacher told me to look it up...
The I couldn't believe what was happening. Cendrillon was playing in my English class. Oh my gosh.
Since it w

Let set some things on the table, shall we?Due to recent events, I feel the need to emphasize certain points while adressing others.
I didn't wanna sound like a manipulative or overly bossy little prat, but if anything I've been PUSHED to do so. So now we're gonna establish a couple of things here;
I, me and myself is the only and legitimate head of this crossover AU. I decide what happens and what does not. I decide what characters stay and what characters don't. I decide who dies and who doesn't, which characters are reasonable to have and which are overpowered. I decide everything, basically.
Suggestions have always been welcome because hey, a colaborative AU is always more fun, right? I like suggestions, I love them! I love when people help me figure out things I hadn't thought bout and I love it when they give me headcanons and when they tell me how could the AU be better. I love that.
What I do NOT like or am up to tolerating is other people trying to CONTROL it. The AU is mine. It was not originally intended to be shared

A little sparity story that you can join inOne that you can take part in. You see I'll type the first part of the story and you type in the next part and the same goes for the user after that.
Let get those imaginative juices running

I'm interested on how it will go
Let us start
It was a fairly peaceful day in ponyvile most ponies were out relaxing. But one unicorn wasn't relaxed at all she was pacing up and down her name was Rarity and her face was stained by tears as she saw an a notice outside her shop.

Know your worthI think what positive self image (as a writer, artist and person) boils down to is knowing who you are and how good you are no matter what anyone else says! It can be hard to know these things sometimes and we tend to downgrade ourselves so much. We are perfectionists and always see our flaws and they often magnify in our view. Add to that that others (even "friends") will at times try to make you seem/feel like less than you are. It can be so difficult. But look around at what just IS. Also consider the possible motive of others. Some put you and your stuff down, some times oh so gently but that's the 'cleverest' way to keep you constantly doubting yourself. Especially if they throw in complements here and there other times. It's okay that others do this. That's just their way of going about looking better themselves and they think that works. The reason it's okay they do this is because it doesn't work and makes room for others that go about it differently. The saying "Thank you for

Struggling and Bondage - Part 3
3. Escape Struggling or Struggling with Purpose
Isn't the damsel trying to escape anytime she is struggling? Yes and No. Of course, she believes that she is trying to escape by struggling, but when a damsel is bound and gagged securely and is by herself, her actual chances of escaping her bonds are reasonably small (see the journal article on my 15 minute rule). But after a while her struggles may become focused. She may develop a plan of escape. That is when she is struggling with purpose or escape struggling.
Struggling to be Heard
One of my favorite types of struggling is when a rescuer is nearby, perhaps searching for the damsel or perhaps just a bystander, and the damsel tries to alert them to her plight. The most obvious way to do this is to try to make enough noise through her gag to be heard or to get rid of her gag altogether.
If a gag is properly selected and secured for the location and situatio

The best early birthday present ever.So, I got home from school today and saw a package at the door and just about had a panic attack, because it was a gift from =radioactiverose42, an early birthday present, and it was a surprise and I LOVE surprises.
So I opened it and read the lovely card and made myself not open the actual present until I had finished and then when I pulled the present out, I made a lot of extremely weird noises (my sister can attest to this, she tried to calm me down).
Let me show you what this lovely, amazing girl got for me.

Yes, it is a signed picture of Frank Iero, original copy, with a Certificate of Authenticity and I'm literally dying over here. He touched it, oh my gosh.
So I'm giving a huge thank you to her and you should give her love, too. This is actually only my second MCR merch, believe it or not, and I'm just...so psyched. auuggh <3
New Doves today, yes!
Love,

No Excuses: I've tried 20 times...Well then looks like you need to do it 21 times then!
Look. I know it's frustrating. You have this vision in your head of what you want your comic, (or any other creation), to be. You tried to make it, and it came out all wrong. So you tried again, and again and again. Every time it comes out wrong. After 20 times you think to yourself, "This isn't working, I should just give up." And you could. Or maybe your next attempt will be the time it all comes together... but you'll never know if you give up now. Success is simply trying one more time than you failed. Certainly that's easier said than done, but it's none the less true.
So lets talk about why things might not be coming out right, and how to fix it.
Is it because the artwork isn't as good as you'd like? Well before you make attempt #21 practice your drawing. Read books on anatomy and perspective. Go to any local art classes where someone can teach you and guide you directly in your art. Go to coffee shops, parks, or othe

Do You . . .. . . Sometimes get those insanely random moments when you suddenly worry for your future?

I mean, okay, I am still a teen, I haven't done my GCSEs yet, so I haven't thought about colleges and degrees and everything but then today it just popped into my mind, and it freaked me out.
It's probably all because I got my first exam timetable today stating that my first written exam will be in June - ages away, I know - but I just started freaking. Because, that's just the way I roll. It's actually not, but oh well xD
I mean, I guess I roughly know what I want - animator for Dreamworks, but then I thought, is that really going to make me happy?
In a way, it will. It'll make me just as happy as being a writer or a singer. But the thing is, I love singing. And therefore I'd love to be a singer.
When I was little, I was the shyest little girl in class, afraid of everything. Now that I've grown up, I've come to love being in a spotlight just a little. I like performing and making pe

Broccoli Cheese SoupOk boys and girls, time for another easy soup recipe for you bachelors and bachelorettes, college types, or artists on the go like me. Even you family folk out there looking for an easy meal your kids will love, Broccoli Cheese Soup is one of the greatest things ever invented. I love plain old steamed broccoli, but you add cheese and it sings. You make a soup out of it and it's a damn CHOIR!
Here we go!
2 Cans Chicken and Rice Soup
2 Cans of Cream of Chicken Soup (or you can substitute one can for a Cream of Mushroom)
1 Stick of butter
1 can of evaporated milk (Pet or Carnation)
1 bag of Frozen Broccoli
1 small box of Velveeta Cheese
1.Heat butter, Milk, and Soups slowly (low to medium heat)
2.Steam your broccoli in microwave or on the stove separately. Not too done because it will soften up in the soup and it's nice to have a little crunch in there.
3. Cut up cheese into small cubes
4. Slowly stir in broccoli and cheese into soup until cheese is melted.

Woman in Sci-Fi

Journal Entry: Wed Dec 5, 2012, 6:45 PM

There's news ... kind of.

I've been hired by an actual company to do actual art. With a contract and everything. It's not permanent, but there is legal paperwork ... so that has to mean something. One of these legal papers means none of the finished art, none of the sketches, and none of the any part of it will be here. But that's pretty standard.

I'm going to let myself be excited about this. I get to work with the husband, which I always love, and the guy I'm working for is great. Not only does he have a ton of interesting concepts and thoughts running about in his head, but he has this idea that I really *really* like.

He doesn't want objectified, unrealistic women with exaggerated anatomy and bikini-armor -which is paradise to my artistic sensibilities. Not just that, but he was able to bring up the topic, without blinking and without apology, in front of a woman. It actually took a while for that bit of conversation to sink in.

I never, in my lifetime, thought I'd hear something like that. Even in college the teachers would politely look away when I brought up the subject. I take that back. One of them *did* bring it up once and I was surprised by his sincerity and his indictment of his field and peers. But he was the only one. Most of the time, it was the opposite. (I even had a teacher say that I should be tolerant of the sexual objectification of girls under 15 because it's "cultural". I still want to put her head through a wall for that one.) Most of the people I've encountered thus far have been a part of the problem. Male and female alike.

I'm not going to pretend that this means sexism is over or that the problem of objectifying women in the media and entertainment has come to a screeching halt. It hasn't. We, all of us, still have a long way to go. But it's one instance of something going in the right direction and one man-in-charge who has his head on correctly. And if I'm going to do comic-style work, I'm glad it's for a client who is man enough to want real women in his stories.

I can't wait to get started.
