Sorry for the non-updates. I finished prac and then came home and had to start packing mah shiz coz I'm moving into my NEW APARTMENT :|

ANYWAY. Quick post is quick.

arasan, buttfacemakani, zia_narratora!!

Did I leave some DVDs at any of your places? ^^; LOL. I had them on a spindle thing (you know, like you buy 20 blank DVD-Rs on or something) and the last place I can remember watching something on it was at your place, arasan!! D:

I know I'd lost my Doctor Who Season 3 ages ago, but I'd hoped I'd find it in the move... and then I realised I was missing some Firefly and Jonathan Creek and AN ENTIRE SEASON OF SUPERNATURAL!! D: And then I remembered that they were all ones I took away!! SO. YES. I'm hoping you found it and forgot about it ^^; Otherwise, I SHALL BE A SAD BUNNY :C

Also, this moodtheme sucks sometimes. Azula looks EVIL PLOTTING here and it's for anxious? SRSLY?! WTF.

Peace,
Rotae

Things I have learnt about Tom Felton this week from his Twitter:

1. He has deep (and wide ranging) thoughts before going to sleep
2. He has a wide range of DVDs, LOL
3. He drives to London for meetings, but sometimes takes the underground to and from the 13 Hours set nvm he's talking about food again XDDDDD
4. He also drives home covered in fake blood, LOL!
5. He reads his @ replies
6. He has an iPhone
7. He drinks tea instead of coffee :3
8. He is OBSESSED with food (especially pancakes) XDDDD
9. He is SO CUTE about his g/f Jade, homg. Srsly.

Sigh. No, seriously, sigh. I would love to have this guy as my friend. He's so sweet <3 I hope he keeps Twittering over the DH shoot as well :D That'd be awesome :D OOOOOOH, and about the HBP promoting! :D

ANYWAY... I had a bad day yesterday :( It turns out they're not going to let me do Maths as an overload in my BTeach :(((((((( No wonder they're short of Maths teachers if they're not letting people who want to do it, do it. SIGH.

I was so stressed about everything that I ended up crying in the course co-ordinators office when she told me ^^; and then again on the phone to my Mum and Dad (Dad said he wished he was here to give me a cuddle :3 *wubs the Dad*). I was basically just in a state of total exhaustion, I think.

Then I had to go into Service Tasmania because they'd given me the wrong form to give to the police the day before and I'd therefore wasted $45, only to be told I needed my passport, so then I had to come home, get the passport and go back AND THEN pay another $15. UGH.

Then I came home and had to sign lots of stuff for my new apartment and go around looking for a witness, LOL. AND put in my form to defer my Uni payments (after they FINALLY got my name right on my enrolment).

BUT. I think I've got everything in on time, so hopefully this will be the last of my Uni dramaz. And Tom made me smile all sighingly over his sweetness, so that was nice :D

ANYWAYYYYYYYYYY. I HAS ARTS BEFORE AH GO TO BEDZ :D CLICKEH FOR BIGGER PICKEH!!


Shipping 28 - 1. Helga/Arnold
"Your eyes, like two green jellybeans, are pools I want to bathe in... in the classroom, my heart doth swoon... and yet... I want to bash your face in." LOLOLOL XDDDDDD

Ahhhhh, weird Helga Pataki love = EPIC WIN, AMIRITE, cambryn, arasan and buttfacemakani?! *bursts into fits of giggles during Snape/Lily discussion* LOLOLOL. Ahhhh, good times :D


Shipping 28 - 2. Ron/Hermione
I've had this in my sketchbook for AGES and ugh... I just thought stuff it and did a SUPER QUICK colour :D They're around 25ish here, I think. And Ron is slouching... he should be taller ^^; LOL XDDDDD

I think that Ron came out looking slightly David Tennantish, which is ironic, because for the life of me... I can't draw David Tennant XDDDD

BED NOW. Night all!!

Peace,
Rotae

HOKAY. As a follow-up to my previous post...

For those who don't know, I put forward a contest idea for hogwarts_elite which required people to create at least THREE dance moves based on Harry Potter characters :D This was because, well, I'm lame and started to make some at Portus while we were dancing to wizard rock XDDDD

ANYWAY. I made this example for the contest:

SO. Last night at the Goth Club (Coven), I was doing them, and Erika joined in for a bit. Then later on she and Brody went off to find Jo and CJ (as they had disappeared) which left Bec and I dancing/drinking/being awesome :D So I started my Draco: The Stomp dance steps, and then Hermione: The Hair and then people started joining in with Ron: The Tall and then we just kept going - mixing it up, LOLOL XDDDDD It didn't last for a HUGE amount of time, and they were MOSTLY non-gothyish people (BUT A FEW WERE), and they didn't really know that the dance moves were HP related BUT IT STILL TOTALLY COUNTS. LOLOL XDDDD

Due to the amount of "VIDEO OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN" comments, I'll leave you with the following, which is me doing Hermione: The Hair going into Draco: The Stomp XDDDD We don't have any of other people doing them, because Bec was the one filming and she was dancing along with us, LOLOL.

I suppose this icon is actually very appropriate actually, y/y? XDDD


It's on Bec's phone, so the quality isn't too flash hot, but WHATEVS. YOU GET THE GENERAL PICTURE, Y/Y?!

ALSO. I got mah first Christmas card yesterday!!!!!!! OMFGGGGGGGGGGGG hazy_crazy!! IT'S SO EPIC, THANK YOU SO MUCH <33333333333333333333

IT'S MY 4TH ELJAY ANNIVERSARY TODAY!! WOOOOO!! ILU GUYS SO HARD.

Peace,
Rotae

I JUST GOT BACK FROM A GOTH CLUB WHERE PEOPLE JOINED IN TO MY HARRY POTTER DANCE MOVES.

IT WAS FUCKING EPIC.

Peace,
Rotae

My internal clock is all fucked up from staying up all last night so we could take Josh out to the airport at 6:30am. Now I've been sitting here procrastinating because I wasn't tired. But now I am. Trust me to start to get tired the MINUTE those bloody birds start chirping annoyingly outside my window, LOLOL.

Anyway, I made this icon for procrastination practise XDDD I kinda like it. I want to ask Robert if he's scared he's been typecast as "The Dead Guy" XDDDDD So it amuses me :D

Speaking of Robert, he was on the Tyra Banks show and Tyra asked Robert to bite her. O_o LOLOL. Okay, it's not creepy because it's fricken TYRA and ROBERT. So it's just totally full of LOLZ XDDDDD


( MOAR )

OH. While I'm on Dedric, I thought I'd share this picture with you. It's my desktop on my second screen, but I doubt you guys looked at that earlier. This is a picture that I took at Portus. Voldemort was the lead singer of one of the wizard rock bands and "Cedric" was just awesome. LOL. He looked SO MUCH like Robert Pattinson (and he knew it XDDD). I say "Cedric" because he was actually dressed up as Fred Weasley (despite the likeness to Dedric AND wearing Dedric's robes) - but he said he'd love to be Ced in a photo for me :3 :D

So here's Cedric showing Voldemort what he thinks of him XDDDD


And finally... I LOLed:


( MOAR BEHIND CUT )

Peace,
Rotae

OKAY. SO. You know a while ago, I was talking about how I was shortlisted for the ABC2 Fanging It video competition?

I just got a phone call from one of the producers... and...

THEY'RE GONNA USE MY FILM A;LDKFJA;LKDJFA;LDJFLADF;LADKFLAJ;LKJDFLKDFLJK :D

I mean, I don't get paid for it or anything, but, DUDES!! ZOMGGGGGGGG I'M GOING TO HAVE MY WORK PLAY ON NATIONAL TELEVISION A;DLKFA;LDKJF;ALJDS;ALKJSD;LJSF :D

Seeing as we only have like, five TV channels, that's kinda a big thing here, LOL.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

ALSO. cambryn, buttfacemakani and arasan!! MY ICON IS STRANGE STALKING HELGA PATAKI LOVE LOLOLOLOLOL. GO SNAPE/NO ONE!! *dissolves into fit of giggles in the middle of shipping debate* XDDDDD HEY. At least I'm not quoting Shakespeare and then translating it to HP characters, AMIRITE?! XDDDDD

Peace,
Rotae

YAY!! :D I hadn't drawn Teddy in yonks, and then I go to Portus and can't stop LOL XDDD People were REQUESTING that I draw him and it were awesome :D

ANYWAY. Working on movement atm :D Quite happy with this one actually! I like his pose :)

Not happy with the colouring, but I'm currently staying with buttfacemakani who is giving me pointers for my next piece (which, yes, will be Teddy again - from fernwithy's fan fiction, actually) :D AGH. I have so much to scan :D

SO. Portus was possibly the most awesome thing in the history of everything XD It was so brilliant to be around people who got my HP jokes XDDDD Like, there were these two people who were dressed up as a Gryffindor and Slytherin who we were talking to, and we commented on House Unity, and they said, "Oh yeah, it's all about the harmony", and I said, "Except I think you have the wrong ship there", and everyone cracked up, and I was amazed, because I wasn't alone in my geekiness. It was then I knew that Portus was gonna be awesome XDDDD

We made up dance moves for all of the HP characters, which I'm going to have to put on YouTube or something... This is the Barty Crouch Jnr.:


rotae, cambryn, buttfacemakani, arasan
OH YES. It is awesome :D

Today was spent with kkitty23, buttfacemakani and her brother, Doug, as we went to Candice's house and watched Avatar :D WIN. ZOMG. NEW AVATAR ON THURSDAY :LSDFJ:LDKSJF:LSDKJF:LKSJDFLK :D

SO. More to come on that later :D For now, I'm going to draw Teddy again :D *waves*

Peace,
Rotae

He was SWIMMING in his Ten jacket, LOLOL XDDDD), and Racheal and I looked awesome as Donna (Rach dyed her hair red :3) and Rose (bleh. I hate Rose. LOL. CURSE HER FOR BEING THE ONLY BLONDE!! XDDD I had to be all chavtastic and lame LOL XD).

ANYWAY. They FINALLY launched the Season 3 products and I bought a Martha figurine :D Coz she's AWESOME and the only Doctor one they had was him in the red spacesuit from "42" :( There were people there buying one of EVERYTHING though, spending like HUNDREDS on stuff 0.o Makes my $20 extravagance seem quite small, y/y? XDDD

Hmm. That's all to report, I think :D

So, I've started the community rotaeusa, which will be my main base for things like air flight information, dates, times, things I'd like to do, see, etc. If you want to meet up with me at any stage, please JOIN and WATCH the community or just follow the journey, please just WATCH the community :D

It WILL be privy to some sensitive information (flight details etc), so there will be filters on it. Let me know if you want to be on the;
a) filter for people who want to actually meet up
b) want to just follow the journey when I'm there, or
c) not only want to meet up, but also want to be my best friends ever, and let me crash at your place and/or pick me up from an airport or two, LMFAO XDDDDDD I mean, basically, I don't know anyone from real life in the USA until I hit Texas, so... lol :D

Actually, you might want to be on some location specific filters too... so for meet-up filters you can also choose between:
a) California
b) Texas
c) Texas (specifically Portus)
d) New York :D

EDIT: GAH. Apparently you can't filter communities D: So, if you want to be on those meet-up filters of any sort, JOIN and WATCH the community, but if you just want to follow the journey, JUST WATCH the community :D I'll sort out some filters on my personal journal for other stuff, so still tell me which filters you want to be on :D

ANYWAY. Onto some funner stuff :D ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!!


So this picture is to go with the AMAZING fernwithy's Teddy Lupin fan fiction :D You can find all of her Remus/Tonks and Teddy fan fictions here

She is without a doubt my favourite writer of Harry Potter awesome :D I'm completely in love with everything she writes XD

ANYWAY. This is Teddy in his 5th year, deciding what to wear to Neville's stag night, LOL XD Trust me, it's awesome.

So cha! I've made Fern a Teddy icon for her previous two Teddy stories, so I'm making her one for her new one :D <3 I LUFFS TEH PRESHUSS *pets*

"Once you finish with Harry Potter, you move right on up to his brother, Charlie!" XDDDD HAHAHA. Oh, Mile High, you make me lol :D (explanation: Charlie = cocaine ;)) :D

And finally, I got my first ever credit card!! ZOMG!! :D Its limit is double my mother's 0.o LMFAO XDDDD WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THE BANK, EH?! XD

Peace,
Rotae

HANDS UP ALL YE REGISTERED FOR PORTUS!

*RAISES HAND*
AWWWWW YEAAAAHHHH XDDDDD TEXAS BE SCARED. ROTAH'S A COMMIN' XDDDDD *uses jumping!Ritchie icon to show excitement* XDDDD

I registered for both the luncheons, the ball and the wizardrockumentary. I figured that hey, how many times am I ever going to get to a Harry Potter convention in the USA? So I signed up for everything I could want, LOL :D Plus, I'm thinking of extending/doing a sequal to my doco on fandom, so getting some footage of the lectures on it would be a plus <3

BUT GUYS. MY INTRO POST? It's over 100 comments now 0.o LMFAO! Although about 50% of that was TOTALLY not talumin and I getting our geek on XDDDD There are a couple of comments I still need to write, but I only have so long of a break, so I'm doing this quickly :D

But I have enough time to say, "ZOMG. I have THE BEST friends on LJ. Srsly. You all totally r0x0r my s0x0rs XDDD"

And finally (which is strange, because it's usually first, lol)... I have some ARRRRRRRT for joo all!! YEH!!! :D


The Leaky Cauldron has this thing going on atm where they have a new character each month that you're challenged to draw, and I thought it was a brilliant idea!

So! I'm redesigning everyone! And I'm thinking about drawing that character a lot in that space of a month. So expect more Ron in March! :D

USING THE PEN TOOL ZOMG. I was like Turkmen. It was my EUREKA! moment XDDDD I LOVES THE PRECIOUS SO MUCH OMG. <3

So cha. This is Ron. Long nose, red hair, lanky, tall, freckles. Basically Wheeler from Captain Planet, crossed with Tom Felton and Hugh Laurie >.> LMAO XD

Also, I finished Seasons 1 & 2 of Supernatural!! ZOMG. But, it was a random episode of Season 3 that I saw that made me finally decide between Dean and Sam. I'm sorry, chen_san... I'm a Dean girl. I know I SHOULD like Sam, and he's typically more my type, but DAMN... I'm going with Dean XDDDD *pets the precious* :D I bought season 1 last night ^^;

I've now moved onto Veronica Mars! EEEE!! :D

I hope you're all good! :D

Peace,
Rotae

Wow. It's 5am, LOL ^^; Again I'm becoming nocturnal D: This is not good. ANYWAY. I just HAD to finish this piece before going to bed, haha.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT:


So this is one of my World of Warcraft characters. She's a Blood Elf, level 14 Rogue, and I'm having so much fun with her :D Her professions are leather making and skinning, and I love it so much!

My main character is a 35 Human Paladin, but she has horrible leg armour atm, LMAO. :D It looks like she's skinned a crocodile or something, haha. BUT. Today I took her into PvP for the first time, and had so much fun. I'll draw her when she has nicer armour :D She's very mismatched; red shirt, green/gold/brown chest armour, green/blue pant armour, dark blue shoes, dark blue bracers, brown gloves, orange shoulder armour, purple cloak, dark blue head armour and a red and gold guild tabard, haha :D Tonks'd think it were outrageous LOL :D

So yes. Blame buttfacemakani for the WoW fan art. She keeps drawing her Guild Wars characters and whenever I see them I think, "Oooooooh... I should draw my WoW characters" LOL :D

Just one final thing... are ya'll (SEE I CAN BE TEXAN :| I'M PRACTISING) noticing a little line forming on my road trip map? Hmm? With about 4 exceptions... I SEE THE LINE :| I'm NOT going to be walking the line Johnny Cash style though. I shall probably be bussing/training the line, lol :D YAY!! EXCITEMENT!!

Omg... so going to bed, lol. The bloody wattlebirds are chirping and it's starting to look a little light... >.> ^^; :D Night all!! *huggles*

Peace,
Rotae

OKAY. SO. HERE'S THE BIG NEWS.

By the end of this month... I SHOULD be registered for Portus. OMG. 0.o

BECAUSE. I was talking to my mother the other day about how much I have to save up to go, and she thought I was going for a while, and I said, nah, it'll only be like 2 weeks or something. And she said that maybe for my 21st she and Dad could pay for my airfares!!! OMG!!! And then she said, "and then you should just save up the money you would have spent on airfares and just go for longer"!!! OMG!!! LMAO :D

So it's still very tentative atm, but it's looking HIGHLY LIKELY that I might be ROADTRIPPIN' USA!! XDDDDDD YAY!! :D LOL. I'm trying to talk Heather into coming with me for some of it. SHE WILL CRUMBLE EVENTUALLY. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!

So, if you want me to try and visit you, then put where you are on this map:


And we'll see what happens!! OMG!! SO EXCITED!! :D

Oh, and AREN'T WE ALL SO SURPRISED?!?!!

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Hufflepuff - 15
Ravenclaw - 14
Slytherin - 11
Gryffindor - 11

OH. AND. CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS IN LABOUR!! OMG!! I hope they're okay :D

Peace,
Rotae
