Wow, I just realized it's been more than a year since I last updated my journal here. Time sure flies...
I remember having high expectations on 2012, but little did I know how it would totally turn my life upside down. Things started out pretty well, but in spring, my marriage started to crack. Then it went downhill quite fast. In August we filed for divorce and I moved to a new town and started studying. I don't feel like going into details about that in a place like this, where everyone can read it, but basically I felt like crap for most of the fall and winter.
It was really hard adapting to my new life, but thankfully I have really supportive friends that were there for me when I needed them. Slowly I got back on my feet again. I never imagined how mentally exhausting a divorce could be, even when I was the one who left him. It was very scary living on my own, being all alone after having had constant company for 11 years.
Well life apparently goes on. I've met someone new now. It's still very new and fragile, but I really like him, so I'm quite content at the moment. He lives quite far away though...
Next month I will start packing up and will be moving to yet another town, far from where I used to live before. Over 400 km away. I will move in with two of my friends and try and start a new life over there. I will finish my studies at the end of May, and will move on June 1st. I'm both anxious and excited.
I promised myself I'd at least upload one piece of art here each month, but I've already broken that promise. It's kind of sad. I don't have enough inspiration these days, and when I do have some, I don't have the time to act on it. I will upload a new pic next weekend though, as I finished it the other day, but it's a gift for a certain someone, so I won't upload it until he's recieved it.
I've decided to decorate my new room with my own art, so I'm gonna draw and paint som things that are dear to me. Like art from the Zelda games, the Mario games and perhaps from some movies I like. It will be a good way to motivate me. Hopefully. I really really feel like painting with watercolors right now, but I have most of my art stuff packed away at my mom's place. I do have my prismacolor pencils and pro markers here though, so maybe there will show up some traditional art if I get time and inspiration.
Hope you guys are doing well!

New year and new beginnings.
(ugh, just realized my subscription has run out, gotta fix that soon)
So the new year is here. 2012... It has a nice ring to it, in my ears. :) This day feels like a brand new start, just like every other January firsts. I have promised myself a couple of things. Let's see if I can keep them.
- I will get back in shape! I was heading in the right direction this summer, but then I got a sudden age-crisis and everything fell apart again. So I decided to give the new year a new start. I will cosplay Zero Suit Samus this summer, so I better be in shape by then. XD
- I will stop eating candy. I don't expect this to last the entire year, but I w
Sick of Christmas (+ tags)
Okay, so it's December again. Time flies. (and once again I waited for months to update my journal) It's still no snow around here. Typical. I have bought brand new ice skates and have no ice to skate on. :(
Here in Sweden December is not so much a winter month as it is Christmas month. In early November/late October, stores start putting up Christmas decorations and start stressing people about buying Christmas gifts. And when December hits, absolutely everything has to do with Christmas. December is not a month anymore. It's a curse.
I have a confession to make. I don't celebrate Christmas anymore. I'm just sick of it. On Saturday (when w
Thoughts about fan art and stuff
I am sure most (if not all) of my watchers have noticed that I mostly draw fan art. I don't really know myself why it is like that. I want to draw something, but can't think of anything good and original, so I draw from whichever anime fancies me at the moment. Is this also a form of art block? If so, then I've had a major art block for the last 7 or 8 years. ^^'
And another thing that I heard someone talk about. They said that the best fan art is the one that is drawn in the same style as the original artist's. Is this really what people think? I for one really enjoy finding out my own style in which to draw characters. I've tried to copy t
Devious Journal Entry
I've been back for a week already, and (as usual) I'm the slowest when it comes to updating my journal. XD
Närcon was amazing. It was my first time going to that particular con, but it definitely won't be my last. If I have to only choose one con next year, I know which one to choose. :)
For the first time, I was working at the con too. The rest of the crew and the organizers were really nice and I miss them all. The con was for four days, between Thursday and Sunday. I arrived on Wednesday at noon and worked until 9 or 10 pm. After that I took a dip in the pools they had. That was so nice after a long day consisting mostly of carrying

Stopped by randomly (wanted to make sure Prismacolors was what I thought it was, LOL) and just wanted to say I'm thinking of you, and hoping your 2014 started off decently
