Hi looking-glass-pear! I just responded to the last message you left on my page (deplorably late, I know :'D) and thought I should pop in here in case you don't see it. If you do breeze through and feel like catching up, send me a note : > I miss your way of thinking. Hope all is well, and I wish you the best in whatever you're doing!

Hi Vicky!
Omg, I know how you feel!
I haven't been on deviantart for SO LONG because of life, but I'm thinking of posting more things these days. I still am full of love for deviantart. I hope you're keeping up your activity on here, I love to see how you improve and improve and just keep on going.

Are you at university now? Where?

Hey!

Yeah I'm having a break because I'm still settling in at uni, and Latin is killing me slowly

But yeah I'm studying classics at Manchester!
What have you been doing!? HOW IS EVERYTHING!?!

looking-glass-pear In reply to AnimeDreams [2014-10-09 23:08:02 +0000 UTC]

I have never even heard of the course 'classics'! It sounds so super cool, what kind of things do you study? (Aside from Latin,) (death by Latin sounds agonizing btw.) Classical literature? Paintings? History?

So I was living in Beijing before, but I've moved to Sydney. For me, uni doesn't start until March next year! So I've been passing time via volunteering at events, getting casual jobs, etc. I love it. hahaha. It's great to NOT study! Anyway, for uni I'm planning to study a double degree of Fine Arts and either Science or Art. Kind of open to anything~

Omg, how are you liking Manchester? I had a friend from Manchester and she had the BEST accent.

AnimeDreams In reply to looking-glass-pear [2014-11-07 21:14:53 +0000 UTC]

Classics is greeat fun! so we do Latin or Greek and then Ancient History (so both roman and greek history) and a bit of classical literature too - were currently doing both Homer's Illiad and Cicero's political speeches (god I am such a geek)

oooooooh syndey! how exciting! I'm sure its completely different now but... I couldn't do science... *cries* I just don't understand any of it. what's the weather like? it must be spring there?


manchester is soooo retro

Hey good miss, thank you so much for the favorite. It means so much that my small snapshot could strike something with you to the point where you would let me know by gracing it with a favorite. Thank you so much.


(p.s. Also, nothing but love for Porcupine Tree fans )

Thank YOU! I was going to write a really long thing about how much I loved the photo and your comment and how I feel the same way about my brother, too. But when I looked back at the photo, there didn't seem to be anything else to add, it says everything by itself! You crazy guys. I can feel your euphoric insanity from that moment, all the way in China

P.S. (YAY! Porcupine tree fans unite! I get so excited when I meet another!)

Thank YOU! I wanted to comment on how lovely your poems are, but I couldn't put any words together to make a sentence to describe them! Can I make up for it now with some not-cohesive-sentences?

Β Honest, personal, fascinating. Reading your poems was like stepping into your life for a few seconds. Which is alien and incredible and addicting! I love your oval-shaped face and the photos of your super cool grandma

Keep on writing! You've got SUCH talent!

Well, my goodness.... I wasn't expecting an ego boost, haha. That's all very kind of you to day, dear. You've got quite the talent, yourself. I've been looking over your drawings and they're fantastic. Honestly, I envy those who can draw. It's a skill I could never quite grasp.


Thanks so much!!

Hello Brandon!
Long time no speaky/typy
The other day Andy told me that you're gathering stuff to make a good portfolio to apply to a big uni somewhere in the US! 8^O Good luck. I watched the animations you uploaded recently, and they're really good. Your new skill is drawing disconcerting expressions now, I see! haha

How is uni life? 'Freshman 15' and all haha. Leigh has inverse 'freshman 15' which means that he's withering away like a corpse! haha he has to feed himself now, so maybe he's got bad aim and keeps missing his mouth with the fork and that's why he's getting skinny. Who knows! Leigh is a mystery to us all. I, on the other hand, am becoming a excellent procrastinator! I think I could become a professional if I keep practicing as hard as I have been. I've been learning loads of new procrastination techniques.

Wow I nearly wrote an essay!

Ahhhhh, Andy, blablering about me and a portfolio thing...only problem is i've never taken a life drawing course before and its basically required...I'm most likely going to try to make more people animations now (you know like drawing people and what not...).

My uni lyfe is decent. I spend a lot of my time cooped up in my room drawing, in hope some day I will get good enough to make myself feel good about myself. I see you've gotten really good at drawing people stuff which is super cool. you should teach me your secrets before I fail at life and end up starving and living in a cardboard box.

Lol, Leigh was already plenty skinny-ish in highschool, losing the ability to eat is going to make him a skeleton. And you should stahp procrastinating and do something more not-procrastinaty before something happens. Unlike you, I have no computer this week and have to survive off using public computers, which makes me uncomfortable as I feel people are watching me........

Well thats the end of my essay.


_Brandon

your photos are so charming! I think they possess a certain type of intimacy and mystery that a lot of super-duper professional photographers lack. Seeing your gallery was like living somebody else's life for a while, and seeing the world from your creative eyes was wonderful! I can tell through your photos that you have a wonderful mind.
