HI-YARGH!

make a sequence of her and scarlet in the cinema and losing her toffie down the side of the seat. However, I am not up to par with my pen yet.
Its starting to get used to it. The nib is receding into the pen however. I have a feeling I will need a new one just when I get used to it.

and I will deffinately give it a read and a watch.
I also aquired the jeremy sutton corel x dvd guide thing.. but I found him painful to watch. lol. I don't think I'll be using painter x till I get the rotatey pen ability as I cannot be fucked with continually having to rotate the canvas.

( Sutton ) but it's worth browsing through the chapters for tips.
The Fay Sirkis DVD is much more informative and has some good tools with it. ( brushes, palettes etc.) As long as you can get over her annoying speech impediment.
rotating the canvas is second nature to me now but I have it mapped to the buttons on my tablet but it's no hardship to do it from the keyboard. In fact you should get used to doing everything barring your pen-strokes, from the keyboard shortcuts and stop using the gui where possible. It speeds things up massively when you know your tool shortcuts.

in my chair with my feet up on the corner of the desk. The tablet then goes on the slide drawer where the keyboard usually is and it sits perfectly under my right arm and I put the keyboard on my lap under my left hand. I have to turn slightly to see the monitors but it works perfectly for me, until my arse goes numb.

I think the chances are high that I would learn something I didn't know. It wasn't until about 3 days ago I realized I had a "pick tool". I am not big on reading instructions.

I bought L ron hubbards book on dianetics *it was 50p in a charity shop* before I knew what it properly was.. as I had only heard it mentioned in a tenacious D song..
through out all of it there are adverts for other products seminars hundreds and hundreds of dollars for audio tapes... I was feeling really down at the time and so was looking for help.. and it almost had me to a point... that is untill I read the bit that claimed they could cure you from being gay.. at which point I bellowed out laughter closed the book and put it down never to be picked up again.

you get into a situation with a lady*...
"I thought you said it was massive" ..disenheartening.
"oh you were right after all.. it is a bit small".. well it's what you've said all along
"this penis is not small at all" ego boost.
it is the logical course of action.
EDIT: *or man.. who am I to presupose the straightness of the male readers. saying that even if they're gay I guess they still could end up in a situation with a titted one looking at their male splendour.

I will always remember getting berated by physics teacher at GCSE, a class I was so very often kicked out of mostly for talking, he accused me of not trying to learn and what did I get in my mock exams?
" a D?! are you really happy with that?!"
"Well, it is two grades above what you'd predicted I'd get."
his argument that I was distracting others was blown out of the water completely as Tom, my friend in this story, had got an A.. when I pointed this out i was then instructed to leave the room once more.
yay education!
EDIT: this was my moto for life... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!

instead, he's only got an A in GCSE Physics...

I was pissed and confused... he didn't seem that appreciative of the magnificence of my pissed up candence*.
although one of the lasses who was in The Decent, who was with him, seemed more engaged in my banterous wonderment... but then again she is an actress...
Yay horror film festivals :D
*EDIT: although memory has just kicked in and this could easily of been because I may of said that I had no idea who he was untill someone told me... :D

I have a feeling you'll need to be pissed to truly appreciate it but I have no problem with that. Roll out of the pub about midnight, go see LVK, kebab, home. Sounds like a great night
