oy vey.

another month.
i've abandoned this blog for another month. well, almost at least.
i feel guilty! i love this blog! i really do! i love it when you guys post me comments and all that. i love it!
and then i just forget to write things here. sighness.
oh well! let me update you then.
i've bought the sims 3. it's fantastic.
i haven't played it in a week or so. the reason for that is that i bought another most fabulous toy.
a graphic pen tablet, that came with such amazing software as adobe photoshop elements 6 and -even better- artrage2. there is a free version out there of the second program and i can only highly suggest you go and try it out because OMG hours of fun!
i also noticed that unlike drawing irl on real paper and whatnot, i'm actually pretty good at drawing on my computer.
this adds one more point to my theory about me not being made for a life outside of a computer. well, except maybe for cuddling. because that's pretty awesome irl and sucks via computer.
but!!!! point being: i love drawing with my computer. i love the new hardware i got, i love the new software, i love spending hours and hours drawing things and making cute little anime characters of the people i know.
for example!
this is muserine and her cute little companion OX in front of the berlin skyline:
this is ralfonzo83 with his german germ germy in front of the brandenburg gate:(there is a colored version of this as well but i like this one so there you go.)

i also did a rather comic-ish drawing of "baby the babygoldfishking":(i previously posted this on my german blog - the bubble says "and there goes my authority"; here's some sort of background story to this: baby the babygoldfishking is rather frustrated and depressed because despite of his young age, he is already king but can't wear his own crown because it's too big for his little head. the end.)

and then today i made a banner for the blog of my loveliest friend elaine:

so you can see, i'm insanely busy. ahem.
i'm also procrastinating on recording another learn german video, and trust me, drawing things is a fantastic way to do just that!

so i hope this post with all its pictures and links made up for the long time without a new post,
and i shall blog to you soon!

    oh em gee update time. yo.

    hello dearest reader! i'm just assuming someone still reads this blog even though i've been abandoning it quite a lot lately. me so sowwy. really.
    thing is, i'm so busy! ahhh! i haven't slept much and been packing my things for the big mooooove later this week (yes yes if you haven't heard, i'm moving to berlin and i am SO EXCITED ^___^) and just in general, there's been so much organizing and planning going on, i sometimes wonder my head is.
    where's yo head aaaatt atatatatat.. shalalala. that's a nice song btw.
    oh god, see what i mean?! this is how my brain functions nowadays. i say something, i think of something else, worst case scenario i even SAY something out loud then.. and so on and so forth. grrrraaahhhh.
    anyway! i really just wanted to say hi, hello, i'm still alive and actually doing extremely fabulous, besides being busy and not having too much time for online things. which i MISS! no kidding. but!!! i shall get back to that soon. i hope our internet connection is gonna be set up soon and won't turn into another disaster of two months offline-time (because omg that sucked beyond suckage) aaaaand i'm pretty sure this time it's gonna work out a lot better. different isp, more expensive isp, basically the german mothership of isp's. yep. so.. i want some better service for my money!!
    (also, i tooootally want to film some sort of ytv cribs with speedyconkiwi, once our place is nicely set up and with actual furniture and all that bwahahhaa -yes yes, i realize, megalomaniac. but JUUUUUUST a little. let me feed my ego if i want toooo!!!)

    wow. i think i need sleep. hm. we'll see.
    *looks at glass of milk next to her*
    yeah ew.

    what's new in your life? tell me eeeeeeverything ^__^

    cupcakes and unicorns for all,
    i'm a happy kiwi

    playtime.

    about an hour ago, i've posted this tweet:
    if i ever ask you for a nice photo of yourself cuz i'm bored and want to play around with photoshop... don't send me one. for your own sake.

    in case you were wondering what i meant.. well, let me just show you!
    (kerstin and i during our wild party period. i'm guessing we were feeling punkish or something)

    (uhm.. he might tell you he's a robot, but really he's a cyclops.)

    (jc looks innocent in his videos, doesn't he? yeah right. but off camera.. different story.)

    (also, keep in mind that i've never even touched photoshop until this weekend. just trying things, playing around with it.)

    and since i know awesome people, the lovely jc made this for me in return:
