"gotta be on time this time"

On friday I had to give this presentation in the relativistic quantum information exercise course. And I wanted to be on time just once.   So in the exact moment where I wanted to leave the house, a thunderstorm broke lose. Literally. That. Moment. Thunder and lightning right above our house. I ended up writing to the professors (and my partner for the presentation) and getting there 30 minutes late because I couldn't leave the house earlier.   Ironically I made it to the presentation just in ti

all aboard the nostalgia train~

See, 2018 is a weird year because a lot of things that matter a lot to me are officially about 10 years old now. What they are? I am preparing something for a proper celebration, so you'll find out later (way to build a hype, huh? xD)   Anyway, I've been around this site for such a long time, 10+ years now. I remember this place in its heyday, when I would just talk to -so- many people (being a really communicative 13-year old with way too much free time...). I would start writing an Epic, which

Grad Party And Utter Delight

Yeah, so, I just got home... and it was nice, I got my certificate and all. I didn't go to the after- elebration with the other people from my class, though, because honestly, I fear their view of partying includes getting drunk and that's something I don't need, thank you.   Aaaanyways, when we got home, I received a present. When I unpacked it, I... was speechless. And I still am. What I got? (thumbnails ahead, click to enlarge ^^ And sorry 'bout the bad photo quality, maybe I'll get better on

Yeah, um, blog entries... [wrapup + art]

Descriptive title that is totally going to raise peoples' interest? Check. Awesome opening line that is totally not whiny or sarcastically so? Check. Heaploads of self-pity? Why yes, check! Great, time to start the entry.   ~~~~~   ^ So I drew some weird kind of animal skull. Not really a deer, not really a demon, maybe a bit of an alligator? xD But hey, for the first time I've ever drawn something like that it's actually quite okay. ^^   Otherwise, not much has happened art-wise - I'm way too

Yesterday's Scribbles [Art]

Random extremely small things? Why yes, of course. ^^ Actually there's more, but I don't want to pic spam you, and also it's not like everything I do deserves being uploaded... Yup. I don't like it, but for some reason I decided to doodle in my calendar... Tired... haha she has no mouth. But those eyes... O.O Yep. The eyes are infinitely scary.   And another tree.     Tiny tiny scribbles.

Haha, red

Decided to use (non-permanent) hair dye again... this time red. Looks quite interesting on my hair...   EDIT: Okay so since there has been some... confusion: my hair is not actually RED red right now. More of a reddish brown. Um... how to describe it... >.> Dark red/brown. Something like that.

welp

got an exam on saturday. I am extremely scared, as it will either be rather normal or extremely weird. Theoretical Physics is a terribe thing. :/

I've Got A Cold

A heavy one. No fever, but attacks of tiredness, burning eyes... and I'm cold all the time ._.   And coughing like mad.   Therefore I won't be able to get on that much   'till it gets better, Taka   (BTW, I WILL keep an eye on the I.A.C.-votings, though)

anyway...

I know that recently my activity around here was quite... eh, let's say barely existent over the past few days, at least posting-wise. This should change again over the next weeks - I still have lots to do, yes, but that should not be an excuse for not being more active in the forums/interacting with all you awesome people, because let's be honest, I do have those twenty minutes to spare every day. (even if most of it is devoted to catching up with mafia happenings. =D)   So yeah. Just a small u

tomorrow I attend the selection hearing, where it will be decided if I get accepted for a PhD position. I am slightly nervous at this point. ^^'

Hellooo there [art]

< clickable thumbnail, like so very often ^^ Well, something I scribbled down in between my maths-studying-sessions. MS Paint can be insanely funny if you have a (graphics) tablet... xD

It's been a long week... :/

So last week I was fairly inactive and fell out of the loop with stuff around here - sorry 'bout that. The thing is, I was quite busy with working on the two protocols for the practical course I attended in february. I was kinda stressed out. :< But things should be better now that most of the work is done (and it's easter break. That's at least something).   But enough about me, how have you all been?

Oh My...

That's what happens if I don't sketch it down with pencil first. ._.   Done with my new inkpens ^^

the secret to improving your art

Draw. Every. Day.   Even if it's just random doodles, and no studies or super-finished pieces. And this thing with not having any ideas? It gets better after the first few pages. You eventually get accustomed to producing some form of output every day, even when you're not inspired. ^^

Super small hand tutorial

Disclaimer: I am sure there are many better ways to do this, and in the end every artist has to find thier own approach, but here's one I recently came up with and which I find particularly useful.   This is it, basically. Since I don't really have time for a proper tutorial right now, allow me to just quickly explain my current process of drawing hands using this small thing I doodled down in gimp (I know it's a bit wonky, but it gets the point across... I hope).   I normally start with sketc

the problem of looking younger than your age

Guess what it is. Right, being treated that way.   I mean, when friends or family do it it's okay, because I know I often act like a 15-year old (thankfully my intellectual age is a bit higher, but still I'm silly and I know it. ><)   But if strangers do so, it makes me furious. Especially when it's other 15- or 16-year-olds that treat me like one of them. As in, name-calling and getting on my nerves when all I want to do is doodle something while on the bus. I mean, hellooo? Do I really

yeesh

so tomorrow I have to give yet another talk, this time on the Laplacian Demon, which is nice, but in a more humanistic approach (or is it 'liberal arts oriented'? idk I am kinda lacking the vocabulary here...) which is a bit annoying as I'm not used to that sort of perspective. Ah well, broadening one's horizon is always a good thing.   A part of me wants to play the "I don't know much about this as I am from the field of physics, not philosophy"-card, but that's strategically wrong, because rea

Gotta Loooooooove

... my class 'mates'. Superficial, full of prejudice.   Because, if someone has top marks, it means they don't have a life, right? It is impossible that someone has top marks because they're good at it, righto? Nawww, they must sit around at home studying all day. No contacts, no friends, no life.   ...   HATE.   ... but hey, in 2 weeks regular classes are over. And within a month or two, I won't have to see any of them again. EVER.

Star Trek

Live long and prosper   Heya out there... who knows Star Trek: The Original series? Or Star Trek in General? Also, what are your favourite characters?   I was just wondering, because at my place friday evening is Star Trek evening, when we watch some of the old episodes together. As you can tell easily by having a look at my Avatar and sig who's my favourite character. ^^

Fangirling >.<

It can be really annoying; every now and then I just need to stumble across a gif or image of something/someone I used to totally fangirl over... and I completely fall back into that state again.   THEREFORE, I'll change my avatar within the next few minutes... be prepared... for a certain elf... *siiigh* Or not. No, better not ^^"
