Wow, you stumbled onto my page. I better tell you a bit about myself then.
Friends call me Nikki. I'm one of those hyper, annoying 16 year olds who's trying to make it in this world. *lol* People tend to call me short (cause I am), but hey, I like my height. So GET A LIFE. *ahem* So anyways, summary about my art life:
All my life I've been doodling, as long remember.
Then when I was 10, I discovered the amazing art form called anime, and I loved it. I started creating my own little anime animals, and even making a comic series. This is when I decided I wanted to be an animator when I'm older.
When I was about 13, I recieved my first tablet pen and the program photoshop elements. I started doing artwork on the computer. I was hooked. I also started selling comics in my class to raise money for the 'Parkinsons Foundation'.
Around 14 my art started transforming into a sort of Disney style. That's when I decided I rather draw Disney, than anime. (I still love anime though.)
I then recieved a Wacom Professional Tablet Pen for my birthday. It's one of the best presents I ever recieved. I use it ALL THE TIME.
I then won top 10 in the region in the 'Doodle for Google' competition held in the UK. I had my piece of art displayed in London, and recieved a certificate.
Now, I'm still drawing, and working hard in my Art so that I could one day, become an animator.
Okay, I'm done with my boring story. Thanks for visiting.
1) Go to 'account' and 'manage journal'. Then under your journal there should be 'extras' like the 'header' and 'footer'. Upload a pic on photobucket or an image hosting site, and under 'header' (the image to go above your journal) type in:
[img=THE WESITE URL TO YOUR IMAGE]
And the image should come out on the top of the journal like mine. I hope I didn't confuse you, just ask if your still have any questions about it.
2)The Friends list is a lot easier to do. Just make sure you're 'watching' that person, and click 'account', 'watch list', and you should see all the people you're watching. They should all have a little green man with a plus sign next to him on the top corner, just click that icon on whoever you want to add to your friends list, and they should appear as a friend.

DOING GOOD AND LIVING LIFE TO THE FULL!!! :Dposted Dec 6th 2008, 9:08PM
Mood: ALIVE!
Music: Hot N' Cold- Katy Perry
So I haven't updated my journal in a month, but I can tell you this, I've been in a good mood recently and living life at school every day like no other! Enjoying every second of it, cause you know what? You never know if it is going to be your last day, so you have to enjoy EVERY second of it.
I've been pretty hyper recently with a super positive attitude that's probably scared my friends. I go around school sipping coffee 24/7 (I think I'm addicted to the stuff) and singing "Hot N' Cold" by Katy Perry, which has seemed to be stuck in my head and wont come out.
I've finally started taking electric guitar lessions, which ROCKS. Once I touched that guitar I knew I never wanted to stop. I want to play that thing till I drop, the electric guitar is the most beautiful thing I have ever tried.
Anyways, basically, life rocks and don't forget it. Look at the good side of things! Because remember, anything could happen and any day could be our last, so why waste it? I've been making memories that in the future I'll love looking back on.
