Le gasp! Krimson can write!? :b
Well, new semester brings new classes. This semester I have English IV, along with AFJROTC (rank: Captain), Criminal Justice (Crime in America), and Graphic Arts II.
Anyways, in English we are required to write a journal at the beginning of every class. The teacher, Ms. Garza, posts the topic on the board and how long she expects it. Some times she'll even pick them up and grade them. The following is one of the journals I did (on Jan.15) that she graded and I went just a little beyond. I'm gonna probably be doing this for now on, just so you all can see how I write. Maybe even my small attempts at fic writing. Maybe.

Journal #3
Topic: You are walking home from school and see the door of an abandoned house slightly open. You walk to the house, open the door, and see...
Length: 3/4 page
Entry:
Walking home from a long, dull day at school, I stumbled upon the old Valentine house. It was abandoned years ago, the family who lived there disappeared for some unknown reason. I had still been young at the time, but I remember playing with the young boy who lived there. Anyways, as I said, it was a long time ago. Approaching the forgotten house, I find just what had caught my attention in the first place. Creaking slightly as the gentle wind blew by, the rich, worn, red door swayed ajar. The house had always been closed, doors locked and windows shut tight; there should have been no way in minus a key.
Walking up the path and few steps, I pushed the door open ever so slightly. Cringing as the rusted hinges creaked, I entered the old house cautiously. I'd heard rumors about the house being haunted, but I'd never been able to see if they were true. Here's my chance, I guess... Looking around the dark entrance, I noticed the many layers of dust had been disturbed recently. The footprints along the ground and up the stairs were a sure sign of an intruder. Grabbing my cellphone and pocket knife from my bag, I warily continued into the foyer. I was going to investigate the kitchen area when a sudden noise from upstairs caught my attention.
"Hello!?" I called out, hoping my fear didn't sound in my voice. "Hey! Who's there?" I continued to ask to the dark house. Some shuffling behind me startled me into a stance, drawing out the small blade to defend myself from what ever was lurking.
"Krista?"
Spinning around with the knife drawn out, I stood facing someone I never expected. It was a tall, dark haired man, probably a couple years older than me. He had medium long, black hair with the most beautiful scarlet eyes.
"Zack? Zachary?" I asked, lowering the knife as I looked into those familiar eyes.
"Yea...that's me. Long time, no see." He said, smiling gently as he lowered his hands (which he had raised to defend himself from the knife).
It was him, Zachary Valentine. The young boy I remember playing with so many years ago. He'd come back...
(A/N: okay, must stop now or it might get longer and off-topic) ^_^;
Teacher comments: It's ok! I loved it! You write very well, Krista. I'm looking forward to reading more of your journals. :)

And yea, that's it. Completely unedited, straight from the line paper. Missing a whole bunch of things probably. Yes, Valentine does come from FFVII, but come on, Vincent is just so sexy! XDDD--
On another note, here's some new drawings! Still got a lot to work on, so I'm trying to finish these as soon as I can! (that means
lstarrunner's and
jazzbot8907's pics will be here soon!)
Was supposed to movie Ironhide, but that didn't turn out too well. So just went with G1 Ironhide. He was also supposed to be chibi, but since this is the first time I've drawn him, he holds more detail than he should.
Request from *Mysticom (Artie) that was due back in December...
Just taking a break from it all...
Been wanting to do something like this for a long time. I really like the idea of Jazz having different colored optics, and in some fics I've read him having gold; really like that idea.
Once again, absolutely no reference. I just draw what I see in my mind.
(I love his ears and I love doorwings...)
Birthday gift for TeaOfMilniumDragon! (Kiyira)
This is the first time I've drawn mech Ratchet so forgive me if he seems off.
The battery on my iPod died before I could get a good screen of him (have some episodes on the iPod), so I had to work with what I could remember...Hopefully I didn't draw him too badly.
So...am I getting better at drawing mechs? ^_^;
Well, that's it for now. I'll post another journal later, right now I gotta get back to studying for the damn SAT on Saturday (can't watch TF:Animated) TT^TT
Following the SAT (which is about 5 hours) is the first Orientation meeting for Student Ambassadors (3 hours long).
*sighs*
Laters~! :3
(PS: Anyone know where I can find well-priced Alternators Jazz and Prowl?) ;~;
