Welcome to Art Club–Introduce Yourself!

Hi, this forum is a place where Art Club members can post their discussions/questions about art, their art, critique, tutorials, etc.
We want you to embrace art in all its forms, and learn about them as well. So let's start off by introducing ourselves~

Here's a general guideline if you like:

Anyways, I wasn't at the club meeting today because I was home sick. It's still okay if I come to the next meeting, rightt? Just wanted to make sure. :]

*hi Yeena!*

Hi xyn, yeena, vicky, and leslie! *waves dramatically*

To yeena: Oh, what a proper junior you are! *pats*

To vicky: You're too awesome. 8D

To Leslie: Yay, I'm glad to hear about your enthusiasm for art! It sucks that you guys have to copy pictures and stuff for Adv. Drawing and Painting most of the time... (unless they changed the curriculum this year.. which they never do haha.)
Yes, it's okay if you didn't make it to the meeting. Hope you are feeling better. ^^ Do I have your email contact for Art Club emails?

This titling thing for every post is really annoying and glaring. Does anyone feel the same way? xD!
Unless you want to confess your love here, it'd be perfect.. Go right ahead and don't be shy! Haha~

YAY, CG! There's... a lot of drama from what I recall the past three years, haha. I think it increases with Winter Guard (right? idk), but I really hope you'll be able to keep both Orchestra and CG for all four years! I know Kat Chin has been in CG and concert band for the last three years... and she's still incredibly smart. ^^

LOL. I just looked at the emoticons for the first time.... PUWAHAHAHA, this icon reminds me of the field show... huhu...

I accidentally fused my g-mail e-mail (hey that kinda rhymes! ;D) address with yahoo.com, so it was completely wrong and it didn't let me log in until I activate my account. Of course, having signed up on accident with a non-existent e-mail address, I could not activate my account, so I kind of couldn't log in. TT___TT;
