Greetings fellow deviants.

It's been a while since I have posted anything in my journal, these days I don't really have much to say. Although today it is my birthday, and I have just turned 20!

Nevertheless, I don't feel 20. I act older apparently, and feel older much of the time. I don't look 20 either, as you can probably gather from pictures in my gallery (which I'm going to delete sometime soon. I don't like them...)I look like I'm 17, or younger. Which shits me a lot of the time, but I have to remember that it will work in my favour when I'm older.

So, my birthday Let's see. Saturday night I went into town with some friends, which ended up being fun, interesting, disturbing and disappointing all at the same time. It was different at least. I got some beautiful little presents from my friends too... which always makes me feel excited, just like a little child all over again.

Sunday, my mother took me to lunch over the weir, where I ate some delicious duck curry. Knowing me, I always have to pick the most exotic/unusual one on the list. I like interesting food, I enjoy food, I like to consume different food. I miss the opportunity of one-on-one meals like that.

I have been playing around with my gifts since Sunday. I have gotten all this fantastic drawing/painting equipment... and some clothes too, some jewelry also.

I suppose that wraps up this blog (no pun intended, and if it was a pun, it sucked badly) and I shall go and eat my dinner for the night, which happens to be spaghetti bolognese.

Ciao

I suppose I should be studying some more. But I'm taking a break, and filling out this quiz that I found on ~GoldenOuroboros's journal.

So if you want to know something about me, read on...


LAYER 1: ON THE OUTSIDE.
Name: Jasmine Jean Martin
Birth Date: 16/11/1989
Hair Color: Brown with blonde streaks currently.
Righty/Lefty: Right handed, though left handed indicates creativity :

LAYER 2: ON THE INSIDE.
Your fear: Death, or anything that leads up to it.
Your dream of the perfect date: Going out to a quality restaurant with conversation and good food, and then to a classical music concert, such as the Festival of Chamber Music. Yep, typical high culture stuff.
Goal you'd like to achieve: I have so many goals at the moment. Ultimately I would like to eventually have a stable job I enjoy with a reasonable income, and a husband that loves me dearly. Unsure about children at this point. Don't even want to think that far.

LAYER 3: YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW.
Your thoughts first waking up: Depends what day. Mon, Tues & Thurs: Yay! Uni today. Wish it didn't start so early though. Wed & Fri: Damn it! I have to work today, and I really don't want to... as for the weekend, I'm usually pretty happy!
Your best physical feature: Oh dear. My hair probably?
Your bed time: For Uni nights, around 11 - 12. For weekends or work days, a little later.
Your most missed memory: I need to be shot for this, but probably most of 2007. When my first relationship was at it's best. I'm not sure I was ever happier, then in 2008 it turned into a nightmare.


LAYER 4: YOUR PICK.
Pepsi or Coke: Pepsi
McDonald's or Burger King: Burger King - I heard it's the same as Hungry Jack's. "The burgers are better at Hungry Jacks."
Single or Group Dates: Single, definitely.
Adidas or Nike: I don't care... it reminds me of sport, and I hate sport!
Chocolate or Vanilla:
Cappuccino or Coffee: Cappuccino!

LAYER 5: DO YOU.
Curse: Yes, sometimes.
Take showers: Of course!
Have a crush: All the time.
Like(d) school: Not really, no. I disliked Primary and High school, but I love Uni! The only thing good about school for me was the study. I enjoyed to strive and achieve well. Also, the art and music subjects really made my day.
Believe in yourself: No, not really...
Think you're a health freak: No, but I do try to stay healthy.

LAYER 6: IN THE PAST MONTH.
Gone to the mall: Yes, at least twice a week, because I grab a salad wrap there for lunch before I head to work.
Been on stage: Um, not in the past month, no. Probably in the last couple of months, at my last concert.
Eaten sushi: Nope.
Been hurt: Physically, yes, I've burnt myself a couple of times in the kitchen and scraped myself against a sharp corner. As for emotionally, yes, I have. Today, actually.
Dyed your hair: I don't think in the last month, but not long before that I did.

LAYER 7: HAVE YOU EVER.
Played a stripping game: Erm, yes.
Got beaten up: Does black and purple bruises all up your upper arms count?
Changed who you were to fit in: No, I don't think I ever have, or ever will. I just am who I am, and it's not worth the effort changing. It's better to know someone likes you for who you really are.

LAYER 8: GETTING OLD.
Age you're hoping to be married by: 30
Number of kids you're planning on having: I'm not sure. I'm not sure if I'm even going to have kids... but if I do, no more than two. Maybe not even that...

LAYER 9: IN A GIRL/GUY.
Best eye color: It doesn't really matter, but blue is always striking.
Best hair color: Black or red. Something a bit different.
Short or long hair: Depends on the guy, but long hair is quite exotic and beautiful. In between can look sexy, but I'm not a fan of really short hair or crew cuts. Doesn't do it for me usually.
Fat or fit: In between. Healthy Too much weight is a turn off, so is too much muscle.
Looks or personality: I'd like to say personality, but for everyone looks do play a role in selecting a potential mate. I don't necessarily go for the man who looks like a model, but if there is something interesting about them or the way they look, that certainly grabs my attention.
Fun or serious: Mostly serious.

LAYER 10: WHAT WERE YOU DOING.
1 MINUTE AGO: Typing this. Before that, telling my brother to get the dogs off my bed.
1 HOUR AGO: Eating noodles and drinking coke at McDonald's. My brother brought in a Subway.
1 WEEK AGO: Being very upset over an incident with my violin strings.
1 YEAR AGO: I'd rather not think about anything that happened last year. I'm trying to put 2008 and my last relationship behind me. Causes me much pain.

LAYER 11: FINISH THE SENTENCE.
I FEEL: Tired, content and full of noodles.
I HATE: Two-faced, backstabbing people.
I HIDE: Nearly always, when in groups.
I NEED: Love and intimacy.
I LOVE: Music, art, and the lecturers that teach it.

Hi there fellow deviants of the community (yes I tend to use that little phrase a fair bit now),





I have created yet another stock account. My original stock account, which you may or may not remember as being ~JasmineJean-Stock , is now inactive - I will be no longer using it anymore.

I would like to inform you that I have created another stock account... as of a couple of days ago, which is complete now with a subscription, and I will be using it consistently from now on.

You can find my new stock account at *SempreVivace-Stock

For those of you who don't know, 'sempre vivace' means 'always lively' - so you can expect to see a lively stock account I suppose, with many different images you can use for your own purposes. Just *please* read the rules first.


Here are a few of my stock you may want to use:




Well that concludes this update, I hope everyone is happy and going well. Till later.
