Okay, as a follow-up from my last journal, I went for my interview at the university I want to go to next year. I made a portfolio, and trundled along whilst clutching it tightly to my chest all the way to Surrey Hills with my parents. (Yes I did perv on extremely hot guys...*drools*)Anyway, then we got to the place and went in. Duh. I met the guy who was going to be interviewing me and he was so sweet and nice - I have already cleared this with gdurney, but I shall say it here. No, he was not hot. He was well due for a shave and he was scarily tall. Because we all thought that I was going to have to go into the interview by myself, we were all panicking, but then it turned out that my parents could be with me and a hell of a lot of pressure was lifted off my shoulders. He was really impressed with my portfolio, and said that I had a gift, and real talent. Now, I don't want to make it look as though I'm bragging or anything, because I'm not. That's just not me. I was so shocked and amazed to hear all these amazing things about my works. All my life I've been hearing about how they were never good enough, from my art teachers, and that I should stop with the 'anime' style. (I was ready to punch them - I wasn't drawing in anime style then - grr) So then I cried. Of course. Me and my mother were both teary at this point because I had never heard a kind word from someone who knew what they were talking about. Poor me He then said that I had a clear shot into the uni (at which I almost died) because of my talent and my creativity. (He also liked Naruto - again almost died.)

So there you have it. This is Mother Duck, signing out.

<.<

*runs*

Okay, I'm either extremely excited or utterly terrified right now. Why? Because I'm going for an interview with the university I want to go to next Tuesday. Eep.

I had to create a portfolio, and I don't believe it's finished. Please, if anyone has any ideas as to which of my works in my DA gallery I should add, tell me. I'd ask my mum, but she's kinda biased when it comes to my art versus other peoples. She thinks they're all good.

And now on a sadder note, our little Medilia has left us for Dubbo, and yes, I did cry, as only a mother duck could. (okay, that was the lamest thing I have ever written)

Okay, that's all from me at the moment, I do have some works that I need to put up but which aren't actually on my computer at the present time, so you will be seeing these later on.

(P.S. OMG the new Naruto chapter - WTF I HATE AKATSUKI SASUKE!! - actually, it took me like 7 pages until I realised they were all wearing Akatsuki cloaks...*ahem* YES I AM SLOW)

So, Medilia is leaving us and going off to Dubbo, and so we (aleyah-chan, gdurney, myself and three others who are not on DA) went to her mother's house for her going-away party. Basically, we watched movies etc etc etc, went nuts, and I found out the hard way that her dog is not desexed. Poor me.

Anyway, then we decided to hold another sleepover, like, a day later. Gah. So..sleepy..but so much fun. Apparently I became the 'mother duck' of the group, because I was made to tuck them into bed. And then just as I got into bed, I hear "...Mother Duck... I sleep on my side." Gah. So I got out and helped them roll over and re-tucked them and accidentally stuck my finger into A VERY BAD PLACE. Sorry, gdurney.

So now I am on teh computer whilst Medilia is playing Kingdom Hearts 2, coz she's sleeping over my house until tomorrow afternoon. Yay! And right now she's attempting to explain to me the general storyline of the game. Two minutes into it I was confused. But, being the lovely mother I am I am attempting to concentrate. Finding it quite hard. If I don't survive, sell my stuff on e-bay. Aaaah, now shes explaining to me the techniques of ass-perving. I'm quite good at it already. (Apparently Riku has no butt).

Ok, so like I said before, we have a new addition to the DA community, Aurora-Iaera - [link] (or Victoria - Vicky) So yeah. She told me to put a link in my journal, and so I dids. Actually, she's one of my friends who wanted to be in my book, and so hence the name. (Iaera is the name of the character.)

So, right now, I'm just a tad bit nervous about the HSC's looming figure. I'm particularly worried about Art and Biology, especially the topics we're learning now. All this talk about non-specific defences and lymph gland attacks makes my mind drift off into anime land and it's bye bye bio! Gah.

OMG. Supanova (our equivalent of an Anime Convention) is in a few weeks! SO PUMPED!! Eee!! And me has moneys!! EEE!!!!

*ahem* Aanywho, I should probably go, as I have nothing else to write, and yeah. BYE!!

(yes I am listening to a Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch song.... *hangs head*)

WOO!! BACK FROM RETREAT!!!!

It's not that I hated it or anything, but I missed my nerds and my family, especially my mum, who I am extremely close with. So I was soooo happy when I came home to see my friends (who group-hugged me) and my mum and dad (who did the same thing, then realised we were in the middle of my entire year group and let go - seriously, aren't I supposed to be the one who is embarrassed??!!).

Oh, and a big warm welcome to the newest member of our DA community!! ... she hasn't made a name yet, so I can't put up a link, but I shall!! *punches fist in air* SUCH IS THE POWER OF YOUTH!! OMG I did that today, and my mum was like WTF and then laughed. Thanks, mum.

IGjidfhoytghuishfjrsdf!! THE FRIGGIN AVATAR ENDING BEING SPOILT BY A KIDS BOOK???!!!! AAAAHHHH!!!! I'm so pissed off. Not just because of that, but because of the Maiko and Kataang. I mean, seriously, ending the show on a KATARA AND AANG KISS??!!! AAAHH!!! Bye bye Zutara!...although, I still refuse to jump ship. Zutara is just too cool.

So, WHO RECKONS SASUKE WILL GO BACK TO KONOHA??? *raises hand* ... Well, it's either that, or the Akatsuki (BOOOOOON!!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA). No. I refuse to let Sasuke join the Akatsuki. Grr.
