All right, so with this new computer, I don't know. Photoshop does not work. =/ It just...I dunno. Says I can't use it. So no more Photoshop. I don't know what I'm gonna do. T^T

So I have this picture that I like using as my psudo-novel-cover for the story I've been working on since last NaNoWriMo. It is called Crown of Roses, and it is a romance novel, based on a weird fantasy mix of dramatized elements from my life and the love I've experienced in it. And by fantasy I mean it is only loosely based, so don't take it for my life story or anything. =/

Anyway, I really want to turn this picture I have into color, but seeing that I don't have photoshop, that isn't very possible. I was wondering, I could ask some of you who read my journals for help? My good friends?

If there is more than one taker, I will be very happy. Maybe I could do a contest, draw thank-you pictures for those who participate, and a special picture for the one I'd like to use as my psudo-cover and for my second favorite? It all depends on how many of you would like to try it out. ^^ I hope I have takers.

So here it is. Umm...maybe if it is possible, when you color, you can change some things to make it better? I dunno, hahah. But I drew it a year ago and I realize some of the hands look weird, his neck collar is angled wrong, and my roses just look weird.

Jaden: Light brown hair, blue eyes. Clothes are red, white, and some silver. His coat, for example, I think should be scarlet red.

Lillea: Dark brown/reddish hair. Think like dark chocolate with a mix of cherries. And brown eyes. Her colors don't matter very much, but some red in there for good measure would be nice.

The flowers are red. They are supposed to be "Mist Roses", they look like roses, except they don't grow in bushes, don't have thorns, or things like that. Basically they are roses with regular stems/leaves.

So yeah...let me know if you are interested pweeze?

Wow, I'm actually starting to feel like a popular artist. Everyday I get more and more faves that it's hard to thank everyone now!! And I'm already halfway to 30k PVs, holy cow!!

I'm totally going to continue to put out my best stuff for everyone to enjoy.

Hah so this summer I have a number of things to do:

-Stain wooden boards for the cabin to make money
-Attend meetings for Young Woman Camp and work on the prep
-Draw concepts for Justin's characters
-Help dad with cooking/Practice with sister for Greiner Family Cookoff
-Work on Japanese online class
-Do summer homework

Ugg. Hopefully I can do everything up to par, because I can't NOT do any one of those things, they are all equally important! Especially the cooking, because he's going through chemo again and gets really sick and can't cook. Also, we're traveling A LOT back and forth to the cabin up by Oroville, so that's like 2.5 hours each way. Dad needs me do drive sometimes. I've gotten a lot of freeway practice! Think I'm ready for my driver test?

Anyway, keeping busy! Gotta go make dinner now, laters!

<3 You all!

~Amie

So yeah! It's been a couple months since I've written a journal. Haha, well I don't have many interesting things to say.

Lately I've been super busy, since I'm competing for Tracy Junior Miss. If you don't know, the Junior Miss program is a pageant for scholarships. Things like talent, poise, interview, and physical are what we are judged on. Haha, I'm a pageant girl now...

I'm also doing a lot of work for money, like doing posters for the theatre in town. Blah, it's annoying, but good pay, so I can't complain.

My sister's wedding is also coming up is 34 days. Still need my dress hemmed...

And with all the sewing mom has to do for the wedding, and considering I still need help with some of my costumes, Fanime is coming soon after the wedding, and I hope Yuna Songstress and Arietta will be done!!! I've got most of them finished, just need things like Yuna's shirt and skirt made, and Arietta's shirt, underskirt, cover shirt, and boots done. Accessories are finished!

Gah so much to do so much to do.....T^T

Hey everyone!

Wow, look at that, I'm almost at 8k Pageviews, I feel like a star! xDDDD

Anyway, I suppose a lot of my fans like reading my stories, and don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Like Clockwork. More is coming, it's just that inspiration is hard to come by.

I also had an idea for an original story that I'd like to try soon, so yeah. As soon as I get out of this bad case of writer's block, I'll see what I can do. ^^

This summer has been so boring recently, though! My goodness, but I still need to catch up on my summer reading list. T_T Eww, classic books. But at least I've had fun this past week. Playing Tales of the Abyss for the second time and getting all the sidequests. xD

But anyway, yeah, I'm not that dead, I'll post some chapters soon.
