Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

This is my brother.
He got all the good looks in the family. I've been Jealous of him because of that for...
... Well, a longass time.





This is my brother getting in a race car on Talladega track in Alabama.
Last christmas, my parents bought him 6 laps in this car. He finally cashed in the certificate on November 1st.



Him being told about the car...



Him driving out of the pits onto the track....



And this is him reaching his top speed of 177mph!
Don't you wish you were my brother? surprised








Now, as far as halloween goes, it was great!
Kind of.

A bunch of kids were scared by the decorations. Some people even took pictures of themselves with my werewolf!
We never did get the dry ice, but when the fog was working, boy did it look scary! (too bad I didn't get any pics with the fog. Blah @ me)

We bought more gravestones and everything, and our yard looked great! My favorite addition was this cool rattlesnake, poised and ready to strike.It had a light sensor so when you passed it, it'd strike out at you and then rattle its tail xd
Scared a great many little tots with that one. xD

We also had a gravestone with hands where the hands would climb up the gravestone and he'd go "Let me out! Let me out!" That's my mom's favorite.
And of course the bleeding gravestone with the phrases and music lol.

But we also had this door knocker with a motion sensor on it. It's a box with a bone hand on it. When someone walks by, it will knock itself on the door and say stuff like "Let me in!" EVERYONE loved our door knocker. And the sensor was so sensitive the fog set it off! XD Well worth a buy. Wish I had a picture of it but I didn't think of getting it. My mom has a good few pics on her camera... I don't feel like pulling them off right now so maybe I will have more detailed pics of our whole yard later. 3nodding

ANYWAYS WOLFMAN.
My mom has named him wolfy. xd

I put red gels on all the lights so he'd look more fearsome. We also bought sacks of bones to just throw around the yard, and added a skull in his hand! THE YARD IS HIS LAIR AWROOOO~!

Here's the pics:

So we got lots of compliments, and I am definately keeping Wolfy. Maybe I'll put him out next year too! If I am still at my parents next year... Maybe I'll do another standing monster project. Like I said before, that Godzilla mask has just been sitting around for quite a while! Wouldn't it be cool to have a standing godzilla in the yard?! surprised
Then I could paper mache and paint his body! SCORE ARTISTIC ABILITIES.
Hopefully it'll never rain while these things are outside xd xd


So, onto art related stuff!
Which makes me sort of emo.

Remember that entry where I got all excited I was a millionaire because I got my scammed stuff back and immediately sold it all?
Okay. Well. I wound up with 3.1mill after what I had rushed to sell finally sold, and then one night about a week a go I decided to try my hand at art auctions.

So waaay late, around 2am, I started bidding on all these auctions. Most of them are joint art auctions. I took the advice of someone in a guild I'm in and basically went to the third page of the forum and looked for things that hadn't been bumped/advertised very well, and that were ending soon. I then bid on them.

I've bid in a few art auctions... Not many. Well, now I've won 2 art auctions already, and the 3rd one, which ends on november 15th... It looks like I'm going to win that one too! gonk

While I am excited at all this new art (And at a GREAT deal too), as soon as the 3rd auction finishes I'll no longer be a millionaire.
WOW THAT WENT BY FAST gonk

I'm having tons of buyer's(bidder's?) remorse and I really really feel like suddenly I have to get more gold and fast. I have plenty of gold to cover my bids, but after it's all done I STILL WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE crying

I've been thinking of how I could do it.. One is a were tail auction. I've pretty much traded in my were tail for the new tail of the black beast or whatever it's called, and since my were tail is like my signature item I figured maybe in place of underwear in the normal underwear auction, I could auction of my weretail for more gold and thus get more art! D:
But before that I tried to figure out if I should open up an art shop with flash art in it...
samples here

But when I finally got someone to do art for (oppossumly's possum character) I found out that WOW THIS IS REALLY TIME CONSUMING AND I'M A BUM. gonk

Guess it's back to backseat investing/exchanging for me, huh? gonk
What should I do???

ALSO, november 3rd, tomorrow, I get all my metal junk out! I'LL BE ABLE TO EAT REAL FOOD AGAIN

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Oh, and that halloween emo profile is up! The original artwork got finished the day after the journal entry I complained about it...


And then I made the profile shortly after that.

I had to compromise because Emo says he's overworked and since drawing Ven is such a hardship and I really really wanted my art done fast I was like "O fine don't draw ven so I can get this out on time"
And thus there is that art. xd Sorry Ven.

Uhhh what else.

Oh yes, Ven and I had agreed early on in the month that we would cosplay eachother. We bought the items and everything, but ven needed my chain wallet and I needed Ven's omg hat. So we were going to trade them off. But niether ven nor I was around much on Halloween day and when I did manage to come online and change into Ven, Ven wasn't around so I had no omg and WOW THAT PLAN BLEW UP IN MY FACE AND I LOOKED LIKE A RETARD
It made me slightly emo, but Ven apologized. Maybe some other time. emo

My avatar is currently like this because um... I've been feeling like I've been made a fool of, and I wanted my avatar to express that. It's circumstances both on Gaia and off and I really don't want to talk about it, but the avatar is quite funny I think; we'll see how long it lasts until I change back into mr. red/black overdone usual avatar.
