MOTION GRAPHICS

Hello friends,

Okay super quick report because I’m tired.  My aims were to finish my Motion Graphics before the end of this week. (Friday) I worked like a bulldozer to get it done and successfully completed it today. Wanna see?

I’m pretty pleased with it - there are a few wee tiny mistakes but if you all saw how they looked before you’d settle for it the way it is too. 

I done all the illustrations - drew them out, scanned them in and coloured them on Adobe Photoshop. Some were more difficult than others. (Benedict Cumberbatch may or may have not been traced.)

I wish I could have included everyone - because I know there's some people that should have been in it - but alas, it could not be.

Thanks to all who have liked and commented on it on Facebook. It can be used for feedback in my Visual Diary - which will commence operation next week.

Wow, this sounds incredibly serious doesn’t it? Let’s finish this post of with a celebratory waaayyyyyhheeeeeeyyyyyyyyy!!

Happy Easter everyone!

MEME BLAH

i think: Mainly my thoughts consist of things to do, k-pop and blogging ideas. And if not that it would be repetitive song lyrics in my head.

i know: I need to work extremely hard for my course this year. So much to do but I’M VERY EXCITED! :D

i want: clothes, shoes and perhaps a new handbag. Oh, and a pair of Dr Dre Solo HDs - top of my Christmas list right now. And money. And everything.

i have: 16 autographs now! When I receive more I hope to make a fabulous blog post about it. Mum also told me there are three at home that I still need to open. I’m excited.

i wish: I had whiter teeth and a better figure.

i hate: rude people and poor manners.

i miss: Jordan, but that’s understandable. I’d rather not blog about this for a while to be honest.

i fear: landing in some serious debt in the future.

i feel: awesome most of the time. Unless I’m being quiet, that’s when you should not attempt to speak to me.

i hear: music blaring from my iTunes. Did you know only 31% of my iTunes library is k-pop? Yes, it surprised me too.

i smell: of “Sex and the City: KISS” which I claimed for free on my O2 surprises.

i crave: biscuits and cereal. I swear I’ve never ate so much junk in my life since I’ve arrived here. :( Cry.

i search: korean guys on google images.

i wonder: why I wasn’t able to tell Key and Onew from SHINee apart when I was learning their names??

i regret: not speaking to that cute guy I saw in uni when he smiled at me. Alas, I ran away because I am shy.

i love: random things, like high resolution photographs and videos, getting post and unusual jewelry. 

i care: for Jared. Hurt him and I’ll knock your brain out. 

i always: colour-coordinate my jewelry to match my outfits.

i am not: as intimidating as people seem to think? I am a dead on person, really. Maybe just a bit mad. Don’t judge on first impressions!

i believe: in God. Although I don’t appear to talk about my faith in my posts, I firmly believe in God.

i dance: no I don’t.

i sing: along to k-pop songs. When you listen to it often enough you can sing along. They have lots of English lines too which makes it easier.

i cry: at films. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 I cried the whole way through - my childhood ended then. 

i don’t always: listen to people. I would listen for a while then my mind wanders. 

i fight: with Jared. But Jared punches like Bruce Lee and leaves me rolling on the floor in pain. (I am surprisingly weak though.)

i write: blog posts once a week.

i win: at racing games. Irony because I hate driving in real life.

i lose: nothing. But when I do I get veryyyy annoyed. When packing for uni, I lost my bullet earrings... the one’s I ordered online which T.O.P also has. I was wearing them the day before and they were dropped into somewhere safe the day before. I just don’t remember where. :(

i never: tell lies. I’m very bad at it and someone always catches me out or I burst out laughing.

i confuse: myself easily over simple situations or information. I tend to hear something and look at it at a completely different perspective. Emma, James and my mother understand what I mean. “...Beauticians?”

i listen: TO MISTER SIMPUL. Oh it’s just ended. 

i can usually be found: in my room online or eating and watching T.V. Or boiling the kettle. Or on the trampoline.

i am scared: of daddy long legs - the giant, dancing, flying spider.

i need: a nice cup of tea and another episode of Doctor Who.

i am happy about: that Big Bang is first in voting for the MTV EMA Worldwide Act Asia Pacific award! Hooray!!

Woooo...Yes I shall return to the other meme post...eventually.

RESPONSE

Hallo! I answered my own questions, because I am a SADO!

❍ If were forced to change your name, what would it be?

I’m terribly dull, but I do believe I would change my name to Claudine. I like my nicknames and being that bit different, so I feel Claudine is more mature and sophisticated for when I get older. I’m really fussy when it comes to names and I cannot think of any other names in the world that would possibly suit me. For my surname, I do have a small selection of surnames that I do like: such as Button, Valentine, Harrison, Love, Buchanan...alas I can’t remember anymore.

❍ If you were stuck at one age for the rest of your life, what age would you choose?

I wouldn’t choose this age, because although 18 is meant to be a cool, respectable age, it certainly is not as cool as it seems.

I am a confused human who is not old enough to be independent, but too old to be childish without the feeling of stupidity that goes with it.

I’m bombarded with responsibilities that I’ve not been taught to deal with and am criticised when I don’t know how to do it.

Not forgetting the stress and pressure teachers, parents and the society put us all under to the subject of our future. It’s so boring! Leave me alone.

I don’t know why, but my answer here is the age 23. It somewhat appeals to me.

❍ You just got a plane ticket to anywhere on earth. You have to leave right now! Where are you gonna go?

My brain automatically thought South Korea there. I’m gonna stick with this choice because the flights are expensive and I couldn’t pay for them otherwise.

❍ If you only had two music artists to listen to for the rest of your life, what would they be?

Like Mary-Jane, mine changes very often and would be different in like two weeks time. I’d be afraid to pick K-Pop incase I get sick of it - but then again, if it’s the only music I can listen to, there’s little I could do about it. Right now, I’d say I would go for Owl City and 2NE1. (Although no Big Bang ever again would cause me to decay.)

❍ What is your current desktop picture?

It’s actually SHINee. I change my wallpaper a lot. I don’t like this one much because it looks low quality.

❍ If you had to lose one of your 5 senses, what would it be?

That’s a tough one. I couldn’t go without my sense of sight or hearing, because I would find them the most valuable to use. Taste is important for...well eating of course and without it for the rest of your life would be just terrible. Smell would be pretty bad too, because I love perfume and potpourri so that would be sad. And touch, seemingly the least important in my opinion, but I think it would be one of those things that would be a nightmare not to have at all. I’m going to be foolish here and say touch.

❍ Oh no! Your house just spontaneously combusted! Thankfully your family members and pets have made it out safely, so what’s that one thing you are going to save from that blazing inferno?

You actually think Toby is going to move from his throne in the living room? This is an easy answer, my macbook of course. Speaking of such events, I really REALLY should get that insured.

❍ Matt Smith and Amy Pond have just crashed into your living room in the Tardis. They offer you a short trip back to the past. What year/era would you choose to go to?
I’ve answered something like this a while back. I’d go back to the late sixties and join in on Beatlemania.

❍ What one fictional character do you wish was a real person?

Voldemort....Lawl.

Jun Pyo from Boys Over Flowers, because he’s an absolute babe. But that’s a stupid answer because Lee Min Ho technically is Jun Pyo.

Aish I can’t think of anyone really...I don’t read books either, so that doesn’t help.

❍ The government is forcing you to produce children and are offering any sperm/egg from any celebrity on earth. Who would you choose?

I’m going through a T.O.P-is-my-bias stage again so my answer here is Choi Seung Hyun. I was debating wether this was a good idea or not, because if you don’t see his beauty, like old me and other people do too, *cough*kerri*cough*, he maaayyy look a bit creepy. And I don’t want a creepy looking child, do I?

Then I realised we are both sexy beasts so the child is going to look stunning anyway.

Wait, I feel that I’ve actually convinced myself that this is going to happen as I wrote that section. Oh no!! I’m going to be pregnant with T.O.P’s baby! Dad’s gonna kill me!

(But seriously, look at his jawline! And THOSE EYES! WORTH IT.)

❍ You are holding a baby shower for your new born and are allowed ten guests. Who would be invited?

Well the father obviously, although there would be a slight language barrier because it appears he only knows the words ‘Yo,’ ‘Turn it up’ and ‘Yeah.’

Others on the list include:

Emma - obviously because she can speak/write in Korean.

Amy - because she would die inside if she was missing out on something fun.

Elizabeth - although the thought of a mixed-race child may destroy her soul she is likely bring nice presents.

James - he once said that T.O.P was unattractive so this will be the ideal opportunity to prove him wrong.

Mary-Jane, Jordan, Jared, Mum and Dad too.

❍ Wow! You’ve just found your doppelgänger in opposite gender of yourself - how would they look? Speaking of look-a-likes, do you know anyone that looks like yourself?

Well I suppose I already have one, and his name is Jared. Like we have the same colour of hair and are fairly similar looking. So basically let Jared’s hair grow and straighten his teeth, put on a dash of make-up and big blue glasses, and ta-dah! It’s me.

P is for...

Presents.

Today I am Santa Claudz. It is not Christmas. I am not rich or have excess to unlimited wealth. But I shall grant gifts to all who have been fortunate to be in my presence this past few years. I’m feeling generous so I will give presents to my friends who I may not see as often now that we have left school so they can enjoy for their rest of their existence.

Emma:

Today, Emma Thelma Louise Hanna, you have been given the gift of a massive castle where you can live happily with all your medieval stuff you are interested in. Knights, horses, wizards..merlin.. etc. Yes, since you’ve been my friend longest you get the biggest present!

I do not understand all this medieval nonsense so I will give you the opportunity for you to refurbish this grand castle in any way you wish. You do not have to work, because you have worked enough for 4 A-Levels which accounts for enough work for the rest of your life. You don’t have to do anything at all, and that suits you. There is a horse and carriage which Caspian drives about the large pollen-free land around your castle to prevent hay fever. You have a large library stored with your published fanfiction and every book you have ever read.

You also have slaves: one from each country of the world: which you can speak to in their own language. In the dungeon there are many Korean boys that are trapped there because that’s what you keep them after capturing them during hunting. Occasionally you throw some leftover rice down there to ‘keep them going’ but there isn’t really any need for feeding them or holding them under capture either! But you do because they are so pretty. And sometimes they teach you dance.

Lastly, you get one more present: a big grade C. You’ve never had a C before so now this has tainted the perfect A’s you have received. (C is for CLAUDIA. So that makes it good.)

(Sorry that was much longer than I thought it would be... got carried away when I got into the dungeon bit.)

Amy

Amy Grace, I will give you the gift of nothing other than, a car! It doesn’t seem fair that you work so hard and you are not rewarded! In this car is a big Scottish man with a beard and an accent. You’ve always said you wanted one of them. (Sorry I’ve got the K-Pop Cd jammed in the player...with glue.) I’ve also went to the trouble of moving Dundee to the coast of Annalong. Now you don’t have to travel too far but you will still be in Dundee, except just not in Scotland!

May-Jay

Lady MaryJazzleyJane, today you receive the gift of usefulness. Throughout all my years knowing you, I’ve never seen you do anything worthwhile. Well, apart for your skills in the use of graphic design. I shall give you a beautiful solid gold graphics tablet which you must use everyday, or it will disappear in a puff of smoke and you won’t get it back again.

You also do not have a car of your own, so I will buy you this straight from Japan. I can imagine you driving round this already. You would look so cool. Inside this car is nobody else but Adam Young!! Cos you like that guy.

I saw during the art exam your Skull Candy earphones didn’t really fit you right, so I’ll get you these to match your car!

Elizabeth

Elizabeth, today you receive the gift of a beautiful white cloak! This cloak has a hood and little holes for ey...wait..you already have one of these? Why...?

Naomi

Naomi dearest, I understand you are a bit uptight about next year and what you are going to be doing. Today I give you the present of not being worrisome. I can see you will do better than all our friend group put together: better than Kerri in Law, better than James in mirotics or whatever it is... Yes you will! I give you a ticket for a trip around the world which would be so much more fun than university. You can meet Kellen Lutz and lots more hunky men. I will also give you a recycling center that only recycle Ribena, Barney and Plein Sud drink cartons and you can rip away at the cardboard too. You’ll have a blast!

Kerri

Kurry, today I grant that the act of polygamy is now legal in Northern Ireland. You are scheduled to play Adrianna’s half sister in next month’s 90210. I also have got in contact with Derren Brown who has predicted this week’s lotto numbers so you should be safe with that one too. When your winnings are confirmed, I will call Camelot to send your winnings in cash in several Louis Vuitton suitcases. Lastly, I will fly big smoker face Gaspard over and you can play to him with your big ass golden cello.

James

Sir James, yes, that’s right, I just called up the Queen to knight you. Congratulations Sir James Mooney! You wonder why you are knighted? Why it’s because of your globally famous retail store, Half Moon! Your invention of ‘Moon’ sizes has revolutionised the fashion world completely and the whole world is going hay-wire for this new style (including Glee characters Kurt, Mike Chang and Blain mmmm Blaine) All thanks to me! I told you the Dump would be the perfect place to set up a business, and you didn’t believe me! Plus, hiring out Gaga to model was a gold idea!

Jordan

Jordon, today you receive the gift Mothman visiting for tea! Hey, don’t be insulted, that’s like the best gift ever. Lol clearly I started this post with great ideas for some people and by the end I had ran out of ideas. Sowee....Oh: better idea. Jordan, comment exactly what you want me to do for my next post in the comment box and I’ll write all about it. Need to keep blogging interesting. Anything at all! I accept the challenge. Even if it’s something gay that I don’t like, maths or whatever.

(Same goes to Elizabeth, she didn’t even get a gift. Ya’big racist.)

Can't wait for tomorrow night!!!!

- Love Claudia x

ANY QUESTIONS?

So today Kerri began a new trend spam on our Twitter accounts. The question game. Each user who plays are given the opportunity to ask another ANY question at all to them. With only one veto, you must answer these questions honestly and willingly.

See, I’m meant to post these answers to my Twitter account - but that’s far too messy and disorganised for my liking. And I can write longer answers here. So here they are!!

Naomi: What was your first impression of me? (I was always curious of this)

Heya Naomi. To be honest, not much of an impression was made.. no offense! Just you were very quiet and I thought you were very pretty. And since I was going through an emo phase I really liked your clothes so therefore visited Fresh Garbage, which you recommended to me in 4th year, but the shop scared me because I thought it sold drugs.

Mary-Jane: Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?

Mary-Jane, I honestly don’t know at the moment. Career wise anyway. I don’t even know what I’ll be doing in 10 months, never mind 10 years. We’ll see what happens with uni and all.

Other than that, I’ll be 28 (GROSS) so I hope I’ll be married with at least one child living comfortably with a good job, or else just being a housewife with a part-time job. In the next ten years I hope I will have travelled to Asia, lose more weight and have my teeth whitened...short term goals, haha.

Hazel: Micky Yoochun or T.O.P?!

OH HAZEL WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME :(

Ahhhhhh that’s like the worst question ever, gurrl. At the minute, they are completely equal. I love both equally as my biases. :D

Not sure why I find Yoochun my favourite, I just think he’s attractive and I love his voice. (Random question, do you think he looks incredibly old for his age?)

And AH T.O.P the most gorgeous man who has ever lived!! Those eyes will eventually kill me, and that voice fcghjknbhvcfgvbhkml.

Sorry I couldn’t answer your question properly, I think you understand why!

Matthew: What are you getting me for Christmas ’11? Also, your favourite sweet which is packaged in a tube shape?

Matthew I am planning to buy you a library. It seems appropriate because you like English...books..etc. (I do not understand this, but every man for his own.) The library will be grand: with over a million books dated from the beginning of time.

My favourite sweet in a tube shape is Love Hearts. I like reading the messages on them and giving them out to people telling them the message is from me. Yes, that’s sad. But you do follow me on Twitter and you know I live a sad existence.

Emma: If you had the opportunity to go to Korea but ALONE, would you go?

Pfft! Of course I would! There’s no stopping me when I’m trying to get what I want! Yeah, it probably would be straightforward enough apart from the dangers of death and me raping someone. Yenny lives there so I’ll live with her for a week. If she doesn’t mind. Of course, I would text you first and say “HAHA, going to Korea BRB. Enjoy doing your exams.”

James: If you became a lesbian and could elope with any and only one of your friends (female of course) who would you choose and why?

Ew James, you are so disgusting. I wouldn’t want to elope with any of my friends. Look at the cut of them! The only girl I would even consider eloping with is CL. And that’s only to get to T.O.P, to elope with him. Eloping is fun.

CL and CLaudia = POWER!

Elizabeth: What is the first object that comes to mind when you think of me?

Extremely curly hair. Sorry Lizzie, boring answer...but it’s true! And when I think of you your voice always speaks in my head? Weird.

James: If Elizabeth fell preggers and told you that there wasn’t a father would you believe her?

All these questions are now about Elizabeth!? Truthfully I’d prefer if they were about me. James, what kind of question is that: does Elizabeth think she is the Virgin Mary or something!? And no, I’d probably not believe her at all. Elizabeth is the most unlikely in the world to get pregnant out of wedlock.

James: If you could describe yourself as a weather event which one would you be and why?

I think I would be thunder and lightening. Because I get angry randomly and shock a few people. I’m also quite moody which explains the dark clouds. Cloudia. Hahahaha.

James: If you found out you had female baldness, I died and was your only match. Would you take my hair in a transplant?

Lol no. Because if I went bald I think, (this sounds awful) that I would quite enjoy wearing wigs. It would be something else I could customise. Everyone would understand that I needed to wear wigs and then I could collect lots of different styles to match my outfits.

James: If you lost your hands in a goose attack and the only hands you could have transplanted were Mark Campbell's would you?

Yes I would. Hands are hands James. That’s a really gross question btw.

Mary-Jane: If you could change anything about yourself, appearance or personality, what would you change?

Hmm, okay I shall list:

Appearance: Weight, vision and teeth colour.

Personality: NOTHING at all. Yes, I can be rude and nasty sometimes but you need a few flaws to keep you interesting.

- Claudia (I'M GOING TO FAIL MY EXAMS BECAUSE OF THIS.)

REVENGE!

Time get my revenge from one of my friends who have publicly disgraced my blog!

Let it begin.

Since I have completed the Best Fashion Blog Post, I found it necessary to create a Worst Fashion one too.

Kitchen Sink Drama

Oh dear, what’s going on here? Is he posing in a kitchen? Not a good start. I think this guy is called James, yeah, he’s definitely not Korean. (Even Koreans don’t look this bad) It appears to be that he is looking at something on the roof, perhaps his fashion taste flying away...And what’s that mush on the tray? It looks like sick.

Anyway, purple jumper- not bad indeed. I do like purple and it goes well with his ginger hair. The jeans look good too.

Crazy Purple Person

OH DEAR what has happened? Whoever styled this should be shot! Dyed grey hair is NOT a good look and the makeup is atrocious. He looks like a drag queen/prostitute gone wrong. Personally, I think the top looks lumpy but I do like the thumb hole in the top. From the waist down is just vile. Underwear as outerwear is not a good look.

Gaga Glasses?

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS A NO. To simply COMPARE this eyewear to the almighty Gaga is insulting. These glasses do nothing to compliment his face and are nothing like anything Lady Gaga would wear. He is wearing the purple again...is this the only top he owns?

The Stalker Pose

This. Is. Terrifying. The checked shirt does not match the tee underneath. The necklace does not go with this outfit at all. He looks like a trampy boy going on a drinking binge that unfortunately was genetically fused to a purple ape or else has a rare genetic condition wherein he must where completely out of place things or else he will die.

To conclude...
CL is HOLDING a dress because she is promoting a fashion line, it is not the train of the dress she is wearing.

AND Did you just call T.O.P gangly and awkward? That’s too far James, too far. He will kill you. I will kill you.

I will let the rest of this slander of the ClaudBlog go. You complimented Minzy, Jaejoong and Ryeowook’s outfits so that pleases me.

However, for insulting my two favourites, you will pay.

J IS FOR...

James

Today, J can be for James. I do believe James Mooney has mucked up our blogging community forever. Many thanks to his deceptive, controversial and scandalous letters that have been posted the past 24 hours. These letters are driving everyone insane!

Of course, we all do enjoy a wee anonymous letter now and then, they make us laugh, and we are curious to who it could be, often we can guess. But fantastic Mr Moon has excelled himself in this, writing the most secret letters known to man.

No, I’m not even being over-dramatic. It’s like cracking the Da Vinci Code. They might as well be in Latin. After showing them to a few people they began squirming and screaming because they were so desperate to know who these anonymous people are!

Everybody in school today was whispering “Who’s number 2??” and “Who’s number 6??” and so on. It’s like the new thing to gossip about. I do believe some were going to explode because they couldn’t work it out.

I enjoyed discussing this, but I’m not going to make it my life’s mission to find out who they are. It has certainly made school and blogger much more interesting lately. Let’s just see what happens.

Keep er lit James.

- Claudia

Sorry, Jordan, just realised J was meant to be for you, I'll make it up to you.
