Just to say I'm alive...

Thu Jun 11, 2009, 11:32 AM
I know you people haven't seen any works from me lately.

Creativity is now drawn to drawings and I've been sorting out some problems.

As some people may know, I love to draw "my type" of portrait figures (girls) and many people like them, though they're crappy and unprofessional, lol. Anyway, my Law teacher liked so much that she lended me a picture of her so I would draw it for her. I felt flattered but I'm afraid I won't be good at it. I like to create randomly because when I start drawing I have no idea how the girl will look like. When you draw something that really exists you get worried about the proportions, the lines and symmetry and all that annoying crap that ruins your drawing. I promised her I would try but I couldn't promise I would succeed, lol.

Anyway, no one knows about this yet but my friend Sarge (we're friends for almost 2 years now :D) is a web designer had this idea of joining his skills in web designing to my "photoshopic" skills. I told him that I don't have a course and I'm not that good to work seriously on a company, but he refused and insisted. I HAD to accept. At least to try, right? The site is still under construction. We will make logos, website templates & other kind of things that would involve web/graphic design. You can check our site here. It will be available in English, Serbian, German and Portuguese, just to start.

Now get to know me as person:

Name: Íris.
Age: 17.
Natural from: Portugal.
Living in: Benguela (Angola » Africa)

Physical Appereance;
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Dark brown and reddish
Physical constitution: Slim... so far :D
Height: 5'28'' (not sure)

Mentally;
Flaws: Is not much of a believer; easily loses faith in things; not much of a dream catcher kind of person; tend to be cold in love relationships; likes to mantain a certain distance between her world and other people; pisses off quite alot :D - and I can't cook. What a disaster. I'm truly ashamed of this one.
Qualities: You can trust me 100%; if anyone else knows a secret about you, it wasn't me. People don't get easily into my world, but once they're in, they're in. I'm not very determined, but when I get something into my head that it has to be this way, it will be THIS way. I'm a very righteous person. Oh yeah, you can bet that. I don't believe in fairy tales; I'm very connected to reality, and any relation with fantasy I just pull off. I don't like to study, but when I study you can be sure I'll kick ass.

I Like:
- Writing - A LOT.
- Music - I can't imagine my life without it.
- Family - They're everything to me.
- Cars - I don't know technical things about them, I just find them sexy =P
- Pudding - and that's actually the only thing I can do in a kitchen.
- Sundays - because that's the only day on earth where the concept of "eating" makes me happy.
- Dreams - they tell me many things about me that I'ven never noticed.
- Sleep - Who doesn't?
- Grey's Anatomy - I'm a great fan and I don't lose a single chapter.
- Photoshop - My main tool for fantasy; but I never let fantasy get into my life :D
- Movies - the other way about fantasy without letting it in.
- Prom Dresses - I grew this huge affection for prom dresses and I can't wait for my prom ball xD
- Photography - shame I don't have resources to dedicate myself to it right now.
- Art - our way to scape by inventing things to let other people into our minds.
- Books - one of my other passions :)

I don't like:
- Fake friends - I don't need those, thanks.
- Hipocrisy - these usually come along with fake friends. You can let them go as well.
- Poligamy - I believe in monogamy, yet.
- Spaghetti - I used to love it but I can't even see it anymore or I'll just feel like throwing up.
- Fake relatives - like those annoying aunts who will come to you squeezing your cheeks and hate you on your back.
- Fake religions - I believe in God with all my heart but we know that many people use him to get money out of it. I truly hate it.
- Video decoding - Why does it have to take SO LONG!? I just wanna watch the movie on my DVD!


Dreams:
- I wished the world had a single language that everyone could speak without having to learn it in school, but starting in your own home. Where has Esperanto gone?
- Build my own hotel.
- Be an actress or act, at least, in a single piece. And singing, please.
- Start my own family... but that's wayyy further in the future, lol.

That's all, by now. ^^

Sorry, ehe.
I just don't feel like coming here on dA. Don't feel inspired and needed a break from Photoshop.
I'm travelling tomorrow to Portugal though and I decided to come here a bit to get updated on my stuff.
How are you?

Heya. I'm still in Portugal.

I had alot of fun but alot of work too (when you have to buy things for obligation and not because you feel like it is pretty stressing).
Now I'm 18 (I'm an adult, woooo!) and didn't do much to express my independence yet. xD

How's school? How's everything btw? :D

school's good... everyday it's more and more work, but what can you do? :hmm: I lie for the weekends, haha, day by day :XD:

otherwise I'm great... the sun is almost always shining for me :P and now it really is, the weather is nice here :D and the good thing about high school is that there are a bunch of hot guys on the hallways :love:
