Whatever's here doesn't necessarily represent the type of artworks I do, my best artwork, or the artwork that might appeal to you. I like to think that I'm pretty versatile, so don't judge me just on what's in this box, go take a look at my gallery!

I'm very picky about my favourites, if it's in here then it's really very good and if you're in here, feel honoured! I don't fave that often compared to most!

Career -Draft-Ideas.
Fickle as a child's innocent eyes, a figment, flash-vanished.

To teach? To show and engender a love of mastery, of poise, of intellectual grace
Be it of lingua pura, mathematics, or science so chaste.
To rant and to rave with a passion untold at the head of a room with a board to behold.

To inspire dreams of grandeur in those children, wise.

To counsel? To help make true the false mind, with strangers, I'd help them all
Talk for hours with pleasant roguish wherewithal.
To take such a burden, to free such a soul, and something I'm good at if tales true are told.

To close their eyes to the hurt or feel better, lies.

Or, then ag

Fever'dShivering, all bluster, beneath blankets.
The weather has been hot, but mere warmth leaves me cold.

Painful gulps of vital fluid softly beats against my will,
while aching head and fevered dreams retell me I am ill.

It is the same, of course it is the same.
Viral bleakness never lays new claim.
Books, unread as yet and discarded
at the end-of-bed, mind not met.

When hard sweats wake me from the little rest I attain,
I seek an ancient mentor, hidden behind his fame.

And while comfort voice is truly nice,
that which I miss most are of my vice.

Ginny's WinterGinny Weasley hated being alone. Ever since the last of her brothers had left for their schooling days at Hogwarts or for careers far and wide, she'd found that with every passing day the silence in her house was become less and less satisfying. Though she'd never admit to it, she really did miss her brothers.

And it didn't help that her Father worked long hours, either. She'd never noticed it before, but with Ron not there to distract her with a Quidditch game or two, she now saw that her Father was always gone when she woke up and didn't come home until she'd been tucked in.

It was for this matter that she found herself staring out her be

Been Feeling Kinda Inactive Here

Journals / Personal

I have been online, checking messages and the like, but I haven't had much time for personal projects, and the uni stuff I've been working on can't really be uploaded here

So I've been frequenting tumblr a lot more because I've accepted my doom and am learning to enjoy my descent into hipsterdom. So if you're interested in following my uni art or just looking at the things I'm interested in, my blog is here.

Hi, I am Teddy. Once you read this you
cannot get out. Finish reading this
until it is done! As I said, I am
Teddy. I am 7 years old. I have no eyes
and blood all over my face. I am dead.
If you don't send this to at least 12
people I will come to your house at
midnight and I'll hide under your bed.
When you're asleep, I'll kill you.
Don't believe me?"no"
Case 1:
Patty Buckles
Got this e-mail. She doesn't believe
in chain letters. Well, Foolish Patty.
She was sleeping when her TV started
flickering on and off. Now she's not
with us anymore. Ha ha patty, Ha ha!
You don't want to be like Patty, do
you?
Case 2:
George M. Simon
Hates chain mail, but he didn't want
to die that night. He sent it to 4
people. Not good enough George. Now,
George is in a coma, we don't know if
he'll ever wake up. Ha ha George, Ha
ha! Now, do you want to be like George?
Case 3:
Valarie Tyler
She got this letter. Another chain
letter she thought. Only had 7 people
to
send to. Well, That night when she was
having a shower she saw bloody Mary
in the mirror. It was the BIGGEST
fright of her life. Valarie is scarred
for
life.
Case 4:
Derek Minse
This is the final case I'll tell you
about. Well, Derek was a smart person.
He sent it to 12 people. Later that
day, he found a $100.00 bill on the
ground. He was premoted to head
officer at his job and his girlfriend
said
yes to his purposal. Now, Katie and
him are living happily ever after.The
have 2 beautiful children.
Send this to at least 12 people or
you'll face the consequences.
0 people- You will die tonight
1-6 people- you will be injured
7-11 people- you will get the biggest
fright of your life
12 and over- you are safe and will
have good fortune.
