Introduction! - Forgot to do this D;

[Sapphyr]

I've been here for a month and have yet to introduce myself properly xD I noticed there was a 'Face to a Name' forum, but I got a face.. and a name.. but I also got some art, singing, and information c: ... I just thought it was too big for one comment. :c

Ok, so I'm 'Sapph', though, you can call me Mika if you wish(my real name -2 ending letters). I own 2 dogs(American Staffordshire and Toy American Eskimo Dog), 5 cats(1 Calico, 2 Russian Blues, 2 siamese[they're more of siamese printed tabbies, have the siamese markings with faint, hidden tabby lines) 4 ferrets(2 sables, 1... he used to be a medium silver but lost all his silver hairs and is new like a DEW.. and 1 albino), 1 Leopard Gecko, 1 Bearded Dragon, 1 Malaysian Gecko, 1 BRB, and soon to be 1 hognose.

I'm 19, born December 14th, 1991. Live in Lexington, Kentucky, and I'm a semi known artist around town(not known by all, but known by maybe... 300 - 500 people in town?). I also sing. My mother was an opera singer, so I get it from her naturally. She actually had training for her opera singing, but she, sadly, can't afford the same for me... so I have to wing it! All my own! She admits that I'm better than she was at my age since I can -kinda- sing opera by my own accord(I've never had any form of training unless you consider typical middle school/high school choir to be training... but they never trained for opera). c:

I also like very colorful things, which, by default, means I love the rainbow. <3 I'm also a retro style kind of person c: ... I like vintage things~

I'm generally very nice and I'm not easy to anger c: ... You anger me and you know you've crossed anyone's line :> .. 'cause I'm relatively calm and stuff. <3

Anywho, pics! We all need pics!

That last one was me and my boyfriend.~ c:

Anywho, for singing, here's this. Keep in mind, I had a cold when I recorded this... I'm still not 100% ok with the singing quality.. but eh.

Hello and welcome aboard to a very talented young lady!

[Sapphyr]

Thankies Greg c: and you're very brave for taking on those scrubbies :D

And, I actually just re-recorded that song, and I thnk it came out ALOT better than before. Will upload and post soon.

Nice to meet someone as young as you with so much talent. Loved the artwork and the singing! What language was that, it didn't sound like english?
My daughter loves the vintage stuff also, she's also gone through all the colors of the rainbow for her hair color.
You also have a lot of animals/reptiles :Wow:

[NennaMeerkat]

yea there were some awesome pieds and others in that thread :)

That place was just epic. It was worth the 30+ bucks I spent to just park and get in.

[CanadianEryx]

Absolutely incredible! All that talent will take you far--nurture it and continue to share it. I especially love your cats and the little boyfriend/girlfriend art. Your voice sends shivers up my spine. Add reps to the mix and you've made yourself a very complete person. I suspect that you will become known far and wide--it'll be good to say, "I knew you when...!"

[Sapphyr]

Haha, that's what everyone says to me if they know me in some manner. Friend, Teacher, or just some stranger, they're like,"Now I can say I knew her when she was <insert event here>!" c: .. I sometimes have my doubts about going that far... Actually, I doubt it a lot, but oh well~

At any rate, I'm flattered :> I'd do something with my voice, but I don't think being a singer is a good long term choice, and for me, I'm aiming for a long term sort of career path. It's just impractical for me, since most contractors, big or not, will want to drag you around on tour or public appearances, even if they're little, and I just don't think it's a good idea since me and my guy have thought about kids being somewhere in our future. ;c

And thankyou for the artwork compliments~ c: I do, however, plan on doing something with that talent.. At least, I think I do... I'm torn between being a 3D Game Designer and a Dog Trainer/Groomer.. I love to cut the hair of my animals. My ferret had some form of injury to has back, I guess they were playing too rough, and so I shaved the area with scissors for easier Neosporin application... At the same time, I do love to draw and, I must admit, I love all the compliments and encouragement I get from it. I especially love to play games, I'm actually a World of Warcraft... I guess kinda addict.. I don't know, I'll only play if my boyfriend's there... it just seems so bland and dull without him...

At any rate, I'm thinking I'll go down the 3D Design path later on... My ultimate dream would be to work for Blizzard Entertainment and help make new additions to the game, etc. Even doing concepts would be good. To bump it up a notch, it'd also be amazing to be a part of their choir. All of their music pieces just send a chill down my spine or make me tear up because of all the emotion coming from it(normally sad emotion for that to happen). It'd just be amazing to be a part of it.

At any rate, I'll post the re-recording when my computer stops acting like a moron. -_-

[Sapphyr]

Ok, here it is... After listening to it again, I decided I don't like this recording, either but... Oh well. I'm thinking I'm going to move on to a different song.
