My Father, An Author, And My Best Friend's Christmas

My Father, An Author, And My Best Friend's Christmas Hey everybody!

First of all, I told my father about my Dream Journal. Why? See, I was at the prayer room, reading The Great Automatic Grammatizator And Other Stories, when my father saw me reading the book. He asked me about it and we started chatting about Roald Dahl. I mentioned Tales of the Unexpected and I forgot how it happened but I ended up telling him about Atropos and my Dream Journal. He became interested and wanted to see my Dream Journal so I did. To be honest, I felt glad that someone else was showing interest in reading my Dream Journal. I told him that this was what I was doing everyday and that I wasn't playing games...well, maybe sometimes, but I've lost a lot of interest in Team Fortress 2 but hey, hey, that doesn't mean I lost all of my interest in it. So I only played TF2 for a short while today, got bored of dying so many times (I haven't played it for some time so I'm back to the "Nooby Newb" stage ), and resorted to YouTube for entertainment. But I mostly spent my time on BloopDiary. Either that, or I chatted with Deni on Facebook. If I wasn't writing entry, I'd be waiting for comments. And once in a while, I read other people's entries. Anyways, I told my father about Atropos and frog and the age limit and how we chatted off-topic at the comments of "The Library Outing" ( ). Anyway, my father thought that it was actually beneficial and that I was practising my composition. Actually, now he's said that, I think, in a way, that I am practising my writing! He also said that my idea of people giving feedback was a good way of communicating people. Hehehe.

Another thing is, Deni had a not awesome Christmas today. She told me that she got bananas, an ugly hat, a scarf for old ladies and other merde. She was really mad at her mom for ruining Christmas. And, to top it all off, she didn't get her drawing tablet!!! The last one was really a downer (is that how you say it?) 'cause we were planning to do a comic together (though, we still haven't figured out a plot yet lols). She couldn't upload her artwork that was done by hand on Facebook. If she had a drawing tablet, she probably could share it. Well, we just have to wait for her birthday now. She told me that she might get a drawing tablet for either her birthday or for Christmas. Anyway, I tried to fix her ruined Christmas. See, her favourite game is OviPets. I asked her to send me a picture of her favourite pet. After she did so, I thanked her and told her that I was working on something. She just said, "OK." I immediately got to work and started drawing her favourite pet. My drawing skills ain't that good (compared to my brother, who is a natural artist) but it would be OK. At least my family thinks my drawings are cute and OK. Huh! You should see my brother's. They are AMAZING. Anyway, I managed to finish and colour the drawing quickly. I took a photo with my mom's phone and sent it to her on Facebook. She said it was adorable! ^u^ After that, I guess maybe her mood was fixed. Or maybe not. Don't know.

Anyway.

I gotta sleep now! :3

Hope you had a super-duper-uber awesome Christmas today, everybody! ^u^

I agree with your dad that keeping an online diary is a good way to practise and develop your writing skills. I think if I were a parent, of all the things my kids could be doing, I'd be quite happy if they were writing a diary. And I'm glad you've told your dad - from a safety perspective. Not that I think Bloop is unsafe, but if you're joining several sites where most people are adults and you're a kid, it's good to keep your parents informed, and to discuss things with them, so they can keep an eye on you and make sure you're okay.

It's a shame Deni didn't get her drawing tablet, although maybe it was too expensive for her parents to afford. The people I've known from Bulgaria had very little money to afford much other than necessities. However, it could still be possible for her to do artwork on her computer, using some free drawing software. Of course, it won't be as good as a tablet, as she'd have to use her mouse rather than a stylus, but still, it's better than nothing, and if she's a good artist, she'll find ways to create good effects.

Thanks for your concern. I'm sure she's a good artist. I've seen a drawing she did with Paint, using the computer mouse. She thinks it's ugly but I think she has potential. With practise, she could get used to the mouse and draw awesome pictures.

OK, she just told me that she's used the computer mouse for 5 years... ^^"

You can make some great things using a mouse, but you don't have anywhere near the precision and control of a tablet, there's only so much you can do with the mouse. More practice doesn't can't change that. But maybe she'll get it for her next gift occasion, or else some later time in the future. Nice tablets can be quite pricey.

I wish I could get her a drawing tablet and send it through the post LOL.

Ah, she could share what she's done with the mouse then. Obviously it won't be as good as what she can do with a tablet, but she'll have developed some skills over 5 years. It's amazing what talented artists can do with very limited tools. Has she tried downloading any free art software? Paint is incredibly limited.

Oh, you mean Paint as in the free program that comes with Windows? What's the limitation?

Oh and I certainly also agree, writing someplace like this is definitely a good way to practice and keep up your skills. =)
