So I enjoy creating things, very very much :)
Drawing, painting, designing, writing and so much more :D
I want to learn how to use photoshop, and when I go to school I will :) but I've been trying to learn it in my own time and it's really allot of fun for me X)
I've looked at few programs for exapmle, manga studio, it was fun using that one, but I couldn't get all the options to work the way I wanted due to some reasons :3
But I found a very nice program to use, called ~Gimp~
"Note: You will need to download both GTK+ Runtime Environment and The Gimp installers. Install GTK+ before installing The Gimp."
It's a free alternative to photoshop and can make awesome pictures :D HERE you can find other alternatives as well
If you want nice brushes HERE'S a site you can find some or you can just go to Deviant art and type gimp or gimp brush in search.
Just remember allot of the time there are terms and conditions for using the brushes for commercial use so be sure to check everything out if your'e thinking along those lines ;)
this is a tutorial about the brushes :)
it's a bit old but it still WORKS haha!
"Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.
I thought the fish looked really nice on the site swimming around X) but I think it made the site very slow :O so I took it off :)
oh and I've been trying to make a paper umbrella tutorial It's just taking forever :O
I really wanted to make one first and post pictures or a video about it but I cant do that just yet -_-'' so I'm going to put that post on a hold for a while and start posting regular fun stuff again :D
I'm trying to go through my blog and put up all the links for the stuff I put up, just in case someone wants it :)
It's a little harder than I thought -_-'' allot of these things are from before my cat erased my favorites... yeah.... she did that .... I don't know how... but I could not find my favorites again... it so bizarre how they can do stuff you couldn't even imagine you could do just by walking over the keyboard... XD
well but yeah, I think it would be more fun for people to read these things if they could locate the stuff Italkabout :D
It's a bit of work but I hope people will enjoy it more :D
It's usually like that... your'e willing to put much more effort in to the things that you truly like :D
HERE for the rest of these amazing watercolor pic's :)
I'm going to try to get used to always put up the link to the stuff :3
might be a bit of a challenge.... lol
I use to go to this site called Newgrounds allot when I was younger and play around there :) haven't gone there in years until today, saw that Time magazine listed it as one of the BEST websites of 2010. and i found this, I watched the beginning of this animation in 2004 and finally saw the ending today :D
If you are like me you might be interested in this nice video about the traditional geisha makeup,
and you can obviously play around with it and make it your own :)
the camera man for this video is a bit of a douche, a far cry from being professional -_-''
but it's very interesting to see:)
if you are thinking about this look here are some things you can use for it :)
this only costs $3 and it looks pretty nice, buy the white one from that collection
to use it you take a cup or any container fill it with water and dip it in, then you take a brush, sponge or a weapon of your choice and start wiping some color of the stick, you know the rest :)
this is paradise makeup, just as I mentioned in one other entry with a makeup video, thismakeup looks really really nice, and versatile, the link to this specific palette can be found HERE
and remember! always always use lots of moisturizer, and prepare your skin nicely, before putting stuff like this on, it creates an extra layer to protect your skin:)
if your'e interested in geisha's and their history or just how it all works, HERE'S a link for an episode taken from BBC and put on youtube. It is a documentary and it is in parts but easy to follow.
Always remember to be creative and dont be afraid of color and things that are different,
there may come times when there are people on the sidelines, doubting, being negative, and mabey even trying what they can to put their crappy attitude on you, as long as you have confidence in yourself.. witch it btw often the most attractive quality of a person, and you just ignore it.. since its bs anyway XD lol you will be just fine :)
( I originally started out by saying :there are always going to be people on the sidelines, doubting etc.... then after a while i gave myself a mental slap, and thought 7 9 13 ! witch is equivalent to knock on wood in Iceland XD)
Theres so much change in the air its ridiculous... I could count so many things Ive got the feeling of and was right but thats a bit retarded... so i wont :3 lol
but there is a huge feeling of change in the air.. i'm not quite sure where to pin point it...
obviously people will jump off and start thinking about the economy when i say that.. and go duh -_-'' but its something much more than that... anyway... :)
In the future i want to be as free as i can be, without limits, always progressing and learning,
and i think people need to realize that they have the power in them... to do whatever needs to be done, and what they want done, instead of complaining about it...
not saying im perfect XD far from it :) im constantly learning :)
Well, I very much like experimenting and making recipes or improvised awesomeness for my taste buds ^-^ and USUALLY I manage to pull it off :D if not in the first try, then I just get a rematch X) but my favorite food has got to be shishkebab... Oh my god. When I went to London I learned about a small place close to where we live, there are sooo many places over there that sell shiskebab... but i have never tasted anything as good asthat one... the most awesome shiskebab, and food, I have ever tasted... belongs to a very small place called Troy Kebab in Hackney, it might not look like much but the people there are super friendly and the food is awesome,
don't eat too much though! its also super addicting and not so healthy ? -_-'' hehe ö_ö
me and the boyfriend,
we use to indulge in it pretty often :x
So I enjoy watching makeup tutorials and makeup videos of all kinds ,crazy, funny, professional, stage and basically just creative videos, and these are a couple videos from the ones I watch the most,
So digg in and enjoy :D
To start it off this is Misichelle Phan, I have been watching her videos for a very long time and seen her progress in her art,
☺
Recently her videos took a rather dramatic change from her creative style and headed more towards high fashion, and the audience was not so kind to that change,
My take on that was most likely due to her rise of fame in youtube giving her more opportunities irl (lol) but taking away time from her youtube videos,
but she still has allot of creativity left to give thats for sure,
Aaanyway enough about that, these here are some of my favorite videos with her! :D
And here is Promise Phan shes someone related to Michelle, she's her sister-in law, she has very distinctive features but she manages to contour them very nicely, AND she is also very creative,
Michelle Phan's viewers have been a bit harsh on her since they get compared allot but she still has her loyal fans behind her :)
but for me it usually very fun to watch some of her videos,
I started a bit late watching her videos, Mabey one year ago? I might have seen some of her videos before that occasionally but didn't start properly watching them until around a year ago or so,
Promise likes doing transformation rather than enhancing or conventional makeup :D
So go ahead here you go! :D make your own decisions :3
Jessica Rabbit
Angelina Jolie
Michael Jackson
yeah you heard me lol
I had a hard time finding the fourth video I wanted to put up, It was between this one or fairy Barbie Princess lol Zombie won! XD
Wow.. here is a tricky one, lol... I think this girl is absolutely hillarius! I remember the first time I watched her video.... wow it was unexpected... i laughed my butt off! haha, her name is Gloria Shuri Nava,
if you don't like swearing you better skip these ones, because she swears pretty much and makes it seem pretty effortless.... lol.. she makes humour makeup tutorials and makes allot of fun of herself in the meantime,
allot of people comment very negatively about her size and weight since she is a plus+ girl :3 but For my part I think those people are twats :)
basically don't take her very seriously she does it for the laughs :)
she doesn't talk English so her videos are always accompanied by creative music and strong visuals, made by herself lol :)sometimes she can be a bit over the top... ö_ö but I very much enjoy her creativity and her fun attitude :)I really like the music she selects as well in her videos, it goes very nicely together :D
Asahi is pretty high on my list :O concerning talent X)
the start in her videos can sometimes come across as a bit tarded tough...
-_-''
well shes a bit of a showoff...? :3
so be careful, don't overload on her, she might get a bit annoying if you watch too much .. x_x but ofc. everyones different
Well I have allot more but I will put them up separately and after a few posts, this is just way too mutch lol XD let's break it up a bit :D
and the font, I was playing around with html for it, wow its allot of work lol -_-'' haven't done that in ages, so it takes forever lol
HATSUNE MIKU, is a character made by VOCALOID. That is the program responsible for the cute and otherworldly song over here, just type in the lyrics and the melody and it will synthesize singing for you, the Concert Animator is SEGA and makes the cool visuals :)
these characters have become singing idols on to themselves and I just thought it looks and sounds pretty nice:D
you can buy the program from here if you want, and here is a youtube video with very detailed information about all these things :)
oh and if your'e wondering about the lyrics shes basicly a "tsundere" ( someone who is not honest with themselves) character with a princess attitude, singing about her prince, but in a good way I guess? anyway (ö.ö) heres the lyrics if you want them :)
This movie Peaceful warrior is a movie since 2006, 5 years ago, time does fly doesn't it? ._. hehe
and this movie really inspired something within me when I first saw it , I never forgot the feeling it gave me, and it's something that i aspire to accomplish,
I highly recommend that you watch this movie,
take charge and responsibility for your own life :)
I've been going to http://www.stumbleupon.com allot lately :) to me i'ts really fun :) I find things that I might not have noticed otherwise from the internet, even though my friend said that she would have to get paid to use that site since it seems so boring -_-''
but cie la vie, everyones different :)
I would like to think though that for most people it would be fun to at least check it out before making a judgement :3
I like finding random polished or unpolished gems for the heart mind and/or soul
her name is Taimane, you can find some of her videos on youtube or go to her homepage here

You should not live your life after other peoples opinions.
Always strive to be the best you and even better, and that will inspire others
Be considerate and humble, not just for others, but for yourself too
Live your life thruthfully and wholly, its the only one you have
Dont give up, it might be grey, or even pitch black right now, but there is light, and you can create it
You are worth it, but you create your own worth
There are infinite amount of realities, everyone has their own.
Enjoy
