... The Procrastinator ...

Ok, so I haven't been active around here AT ALL. I mean, the last time I updated was last APRIL for goodness sake. So, I'm really sorry. :(
Especially glitterblueberry, I'm soooo sorry I'm not active! T_T

Anywho, here's a condensed report on what I've been up to.

Went on holiday to Spain last May or whatever. Parents were thinking of moving there but we missed the boat really for cheap houses, and I wasn't keen.

I've subscribed to ImagineFX, quite possibly THE best magazine I've ever come across.

I have become an obsessive member of DeviantArt, which is where I've been active all this time.

Been drawing, painting and doing digital art avidly for the past six months. Am improving a great deal! :D
Click link below for my DeviantArt account, my username is AmberDust. :)

Completed HALF of my coursework. Geaography is done and parts two of four for English is done. Reminder: Must work on Maths!

Began reading Terry Pratchett's work and I'm eager for more!

Had my 16th birthday and receieved the best gift ever, a state of the art, (literally) Wacom Intuos 3 A5 Graphics Tablet! Then of course my sister, Em, got one a few months later and it wasn't even Christmas yet... <.< Ask a Ninja: Pirates of the Caribbean: DMC' special on YouTube for the most acurate review on the movie. And don't worry, there's no spoilers! :D

Caught and recovered from chicken pox. Now left with marks that will hopefully disappear ANY month now...

I completed my Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award! OMG! :O
I finished all the tennis, nursery work and Delamere conservation I had to do and went on TWO expeditions with a few friends! And we all passed!
I can't write everything that happened, (it's worth two posts on it's own) so basically, the first practice one I had chicken pox, so was ill and low on energy. It KILLED! My feet ached sooo bad!
Second one was much better, I had a blast!
Overall great fun, and although I'd love to go for Silver or even Gold, I don't know if any of my friends are going to as well and you need a group of at least four or something. :(

Christmas was great, my sisters and I got a Nintendo Wii, which is IMO one of the greatest game consoles created. Twilight Princess is a fabulous game, short and easy but fabulous.
Loving the revolutionary remotes too! :D

I wrote a short story based in WWII which made two of my family relations cry and the rest praise my work. I'm astounded.
I didn't intend for it to be SAD as such, but REAL. I'm thinking of uploading it to DeviantArt or maybe turning it into a comic so you can see it.

So in a word, all I have been doing is procrastinating. True, a lot has changed in the past year but I have little or no excuse to have not been updating this place once in a while.
The thing is, I've been updating DeviantArt instead. So, here's the deal; when I update on DA, I'll update with the same news here, so both sets of viewers can see my goings-on and what-not. How's that?
I won't promise that I'll update particularly regularly, but It'll be much better. :)

Thanks so much for visiting and putting up with me! :D
