Assembly, Drawing, Whichever Fits.

This is an assemblage I did for the past two days in (sort of) Photoshop. And no, I didn't draw or make either of the images used. The portrait was done by one person, and the background by another. Add in a few light effects, select areas and change hues a bit, then pile it all together, and you have yourself this picture.
This, I'm not sure if I've posted it before. I was walking down the hallway in school last year on my way to US history when I saw Celia, the Norwegian exchange student. I walked up behind her and flipped her hair, so she pushed me. (not angrily, we're friends ^^) She said what she says in the comic, and I turned around too quickly. My purse was on a long strap, which caused it to fly out in front of me and smack right into a guy named Tyler. (graduated last year) He didn't look hurt at least, just kinda... startled. >.>
This one's one that my friends really liked. I wondered one day why some clubs didn't exist, then thought "...What would an emo club be like??" So I drew it. The hair dye is necessary, as any emo club member should know.

Xmas

Another Christmas gone by. What a great way to start a paragraph. Now, to look at the importance of finding out what people actually WANT for their holiday gift recieving. Say... I love having an iPod Touch now. It's shiny and glossy and I put one of the Apple Decals on the back of it. Looks fly. But since I'm on dialup, and the wireless network is even HALF as fast as plugging the damn computer into the wall (this page took about a minute and a half to load), it's pointless to have this neat little device with all the special internet features on it, such as the direct link to YouTube, the web browser, even the iTunes store. And currently, I can't even use it yet. Sure, I have iTunes on my computer. Sure, I have an iMac. But the version of iTunes I updated to requires OS 10.4.7, while I have 10.4.7. And what stands between me and my lovely touch screen music player being used? About 133 MB of OS updating.
On a subject similar to useless gifts, mum had put a small antique sewing machine (the kind with the hand crank on the side and made of iron) in an auction so she can get some damn money for once. And good ol' dad thought "Hey wait a minute, she liked that thing, didn't she? Why's she auctioning something she likes?? I'll buy it for her so she can keep it forever and never be unhappy without it!" So that's one of the gifts mum got from dad, along with a calendar he buys her every year. (luckily she does like the calendar, it's pretty)
But I'm not perfect here either... I thought for sure my sister still had a DS, so I bought her the new Zelda game, The Phantom Hourglass, along with the Soul Calibur game for Wii. Turns out... she has no DS. But she does have a Wii! Said Wii is being played right now as I type. She's playing Guitar Hero III, which is pretty cool, since I get to hear songs I don't have on my computer. ("Hit Me With Your Best Shot" gets SO annoying, though. so does "Slow Ride")
Man, though. Can they make the lead singer any uglier??
Love,
Jane

P.S.: hands off my freakin turtles.
