Currently watching Hocus Pocus, sorta have a migraine still from the hilarious party last night. (drunken rock band 2! Ohhhh dear 0_0) I've visited Amberly's grave, (gotta get a new gargoyle to place there) Saw My older cousin Crystal, and worked on commissions. :3
I have a commission blog now, but I have yet to update it. Probably will later/post a link.
Mmmmmm might get ribs at Sticky Lips later. YUUUUM!
( Also, Halloween Questions Thingy! )
Also, if I am magical, I will make/finish my fursuit's hands by tonight. You read that right. I have a head and a tail that I'm sorta satisfied with. Something to just wear for 1 con really. I'm so so so nervous because I sorta don't like costumes. Just wanted to see if I could make one I guess? (plus I keep finding really good deals on GOOD fur. might put some up for sale? I have a few weirdo colors) I might just sell her/him but whatevs.
Trying to watercolor! You'll see what I mean soon enough XD
And poor poor Jeremy poo. He's super sick!!! He thinks he might have that piggy flu. I hope he gets better but he's been fevering all day. Lauren said she'd watch out for him while I'm gone. I sorta hate leaving knowing how sick he is. *hugs him anyway* <3
So much on my mind ugh! Yesterday was a total waste of time. Sunday was at least very cute, Jeremy took me to ssome woods we had never been to before and we explored. <3 There was a scary abandoned cabin and outhouse! And he found me a salamander!!! I think it was a young redbacked? I don't remember but it sure was cute.
Anyway. Really hope I don't waste today too. I need to do applications, finish a huge load of art (thank god everyone has been more than patient with me, I love you guys) Finish my fursuit arms/hands. (I wish I could get someone else to do them lol) And probably take care of myself too. I feel like hell and haven't been sleeping very well for a long time.
I just hate waking up and feeling like the world I was in while I was sleeping was more fun than being awake. :C also - headache! whee.

Finshed 4 badges yesterday, and a small commission. And an icon! *flexes* And since my boss sorta 'cut me from the schedule' I get more time to draw I guess. woo.
Good thing I feel like it! ho ho ho
Might try and finish either Puca's, or Slither's today. Wish me luck!

Kinda stopped after all that crap with Kamilya/moving to Ohio peroid. I dunno why I just haven't checked it or even really been on at all. I've oddly started using Facebook, but I do miss how intimate LJ feels. It still does to me too. Made me believe I was really close to some people, and even let me in on their lives. To help, and to be a good friend.
I may use it still, I've just been up to my neck in such busy stuff lately (never thought I actually would be! ha!) and I've been nostalgic and pining for old friends.
<3
So, Hello! I miss you guys (girls)
[b]Aka tropical storm Danny. [/b]>:I I dunno how but some bits of storm doings reached Ohio and made everyone in my apartment VERY UPSET this weekend. Actually, this whole weekend was ass but this was just unfortunate.
It started when me and Jeremy were enjoying a glorious Friday. Put on UHF (Weird Al stil makes me all kinds of happy) and doodled/cleaned/cooked noms. It was raining pretty hardcore but we didn't thing anything of it really. 'Cept that that was some pretty badass lighting and thunder for the middle of the day!
Then I was like "OMG. HEY. I wanna clean the basement and get the cat new litter and wash his poo area down stairs! He'll be SO HAPPY." And I trounced downstairs to find a pair of pants that weren't pajama-related. I really cant go out of the house in pj's, no matter how hard I want to for some reason.
ANYWAY.
As I'm looking around for some of my lady trousers, I'm like "HEY. I think the cat peed on the flooooOOOOWHAT THE HECK OH GOD IT FLOODED DOWN HERE!!!!1111" Jeremy was like WHAT.
Guess I'm glad I found it early before not too much got destroyed, since we woulda gone downstairs at 3am to sleep and it was more like 3 in the afternoon when I found the water. Only about 4 inches are it's deepest, but shit that was freaky.
yeah, the subpump broke, and the drains got backed up. at the same time! :D!!!! Thankfully Jeremy is a smart and paranoid person as he put everything electronic up pretty high. (I live in a townhouse in a ghetto if it was never mentioned before) The maitenence man whe had come over pretty much said "[i]Oh. It should kick on later. Didn't they warn you when you moved in that it might flood? K bye."[/i]
We were pretty dumbstruck, but Jeremy got a [b]Shopvac, Electronic Drill, two garden hoses and a thing that connects the hoses and drill so that it spins/pumps the water through. [/b] It was hilarious but it worked! And thanks to our roomies Lauren and Nate we got everything (except for little bit of art and probably a tv) safe and dried off or ready to be washed in the morning. (clothes)
We even went the the landlord office and they were just like "oh. you've lived here long enough, you should know better?" I think we freaked her out though since we have a reason to break the lease since they couldnt help us.
Got a brand new dehumidifier down there now, but it still smells like mold. (which I have an unfortunate allergy to, so now I'm all stuffy and stuff.) But we're still pooped.
Saturday night there was a PARTAY in the hood from 10 pm till 4 a fucking am. Or well, RIGHT ACROSS OUR YARD THING. (I'll just take pictures lol) and it was loud and obnoxious and I had to work the next morning. We even called the police. No one ever showed up and there's a "law" for no noise between 10pm and 10am.
Fun fun.
STILL CLEANING. >:C
But I made a homade pizza today! It was the shiznit. <3

OFFICALLY OUT OF THAT HELLHOLE.
I'm so happy I could cry. And I have so many stories to tell it's rediculous. I'm tempted to be a drama ho and go posting story after story but hey! I dunno. I probably shouldn't. butiwantto.
Anyway. It's pretty great so far. The place is still a mess, and I went to Christy's new place too and delivered monies, cookies and lamps <3 Got my Dusty cat and he's been feeling really good. Still sniffly! Which is weird as hell, but it's gone down considerably since I've given him better food. He's such a good cat. <3
Spare cat got a home too! And the home of one of our local friends :D I'm so happy!!! The fact I have to work late shift tomorrow is almost okay! Lol!
Going to be doing a LOT MORE ART and commissions at a BETTER pace!!!! FINALLY. I am comfortable, and don't have to worry about scrutiny, or anyone bothering me for once. *siiiiigggghhsss* I'm happy :D

ART KEEPS GETTING IN THE WAY
So! I have to kind of halt serious art for a little while. I'll update my commission/trade list soon, since I'm nearly done with a few new big things and various old things/new sketches!
GUH! SO MUCH TO DO!!!
But I needed Anthrocon, I really did. Aside from what happened at home, it was the greatest blow of money ever. so. worth it. Going next year of course! (Well, if possible! Might have a dealer's table too if I'm quick about it XD)
There's like the tiniest chance me and Jeremy will get to go to MFF. omg! I'm not counting on it though.
Wish me luck! I hate moving but it needs to happen! Stress will FINALLY be minimized! No more living in attics and laundryooms! Wait. I'm moving into a basement again. OH WELL. :| !!!
Well! If you saw my Furaffinity page, you'll know that I had a helluva good time at Anthrocon! It was amazing. Met old friends, and made new! Kinda concreted the fact that I NEED to save up some extra money just to go visit my pals. How I'd love to hang out with all of you!!! I may regale the story on here some time, but I had a great time. :)
( What happened after though... )

AMUSING STORY TIME
Chad, Jerome and I wanted to go play baseball. Or just kinda piddle around in a field. Jerome and Chad are both TALL big dudes and Jerome had a baseball bat. Regardless, it took awhile to walk to a park. We paused in front of a house, thinking nothing of it, and Chad pulled out his cellphone to show Jerome funny pictures.
I heard a loud CLICK like someone locking a screen door. There was this ANGRY looking old lady who gave me an epic stink eye from behind her screen door, and ran off into her house. I lol'd a bit thinking she must be pretty paranoid to think we were up to anything. (I live in a very nice neibhorhood too) We all shrugged and went on our way.
After another street, a police car stopped by us and he actually got out to question our motives. He let us go easy, and looked pretty amused. XD
She called the cops? LOL?!?
Baseball!! It's a crime. >:|

My cat's had a cold for almost a month now? I don't have the money to take him to a vet, but he seems to be fine otherwise. No dark mucus, just a little sneezing once in a while and little crusty boogers. His breathing and everything seem fine though. Just wish I had more money so I could buy him a full check up. He's such a great cat.
Speaking of cats, might have a new one soon, though I dunno if I can deal with another one. This little guy is SO FRIENDLY though, and weird. Not even a year old I'm certian. Me and Jeremy found him outside of his apartment, and he was disoriented and lost, but after we stood around and showed now threat he let us take him up. Put up lots of posters, & they got torn down. I've been wanting Jeremy to do it again, but I dunno.
I wanna name him "Bug" since he's a bit of a nutter and likes to stick to screen doors. And he eats roaches too which is a bit dsurbing but helpful XD

It's hard to want to though since I've used LJ since like... 2002-03 ish. I'm scared to even go back a few months lol Though intresting too as this is the first time I've consistantly kept a journal! Go internet! I think. Hahaha XD
Had a root canal recently and it was the best dentist's appointment I've ever had. I felt like Orin Scravello in Little Shop of Horrors. LOL. Damn I love that movie. The dentist also called me Rudolph the white nosed raindeer (cause of the gas thing) the spirit of spring. I could've been high but I'm sure I heard that.
Been using Facebook a lot more! I guess that's why I haven't been on LJ. My local friends and best buds from NY are all on there and are silly as hell. I throw a lot of photos up there too so it's kinda nice.
FIREWORKS TONIGHT YES. I almost forgot about that 8D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love explosives. It's probably a bad thing. I'm gonna hang out with Jackie, Neflegg (Ryan), Corey and Jeremy Yay local furs and boyfriend XD
SPEAKING OF WHICH. Jeremy's done with CCAD/College!! He graduates THIS WEEKEND :D Yay!
Happy times ♥

AUUUUGHHHH
I just keep sneezing and coughing yet I don't really *feel* sick? BODY MAKE UP YOUR MIND!
Dawrrr Dusty (my piddy cat) is doing so well though, omg, I bought him old kitty food (hes like almost 12 I think?) and litter and stuff. Not like he wasnt okay before, just I like knowing he's alright. HAHA And I like... JUST made rent this month. I so won't complain though, this is a huge house thing I get to stay at pretty much for free ($170 month!) and now have my own attic. <3 I MEAN ROOM.
Lol.
I lived in a basement, a laundry room, and an attic recently.
So. So can't wait to just have my own place with Jeremy. Yeesh.
- Mood:
crappy
I dunno why really! I kinda started using Facebook (sunny colaneri if you have one too! :D) and just haven't touched this in quite a long time. 'cept for that "gallery" feature. Holy crap is it useful for sending sketches to commissioners.
SPEAKING OF WHICH
I should get back to those. But I don't want to. I love drawing and love working on them but... living here sucks. I always feel like ass and want to sleep. sleepworksleepworkdraw? I dunno. Anytime one of the other tennants goes on a vaction is the only time I feel great again. Hell I even clean, dance and open windows and had a little party. We all did, it was so awesome!
Back to crap again though. Ehh. I'm alright though! Chad and Christy seemed to ameoba me into their room somehow. Even let me attack the game cube! (never had one, and oh god I love MARIO games! 8D)
But. Yeah. I dunno I just miss Jessy and feel cruddy more often than I should. :c Bleh!
SHIT.
Wow. It fills up so quickly. And they need to update their damn site! DoubleTree is full. :c
Does anyone know how to get a room for AC? Or if there's any other hotels nearby? I checked out the Marriot, and that was alright. Just expensive. If we have to we'll all work hard to save for it and go, but blarrrghhh D:<
I haven't attended in years, and I live fairly close by now. (Columbus Ohio) And Lyanti will be driving there, and would prefer to get a room with me and my mate Ryoku. So. That's 3 of us, 1 of will only go if she can get a bed spot. I'll sleep on the floor I don't really care. Jeremy will too.
Any help/suggestions for getting a room at a nearby hotel? I've never had to do this before so any help is appreciated!
All those wonderful memories... she told me the time she knew me and we were eachothers best friends were the best years of her life. I'm happy for that but god... I miss her. I miss her so so bad.
I keep having dreams about her! But thankfully they're fun, friendly dreams. Usually with her telling me she's allright or we'll go on adventures like we used to or discuss things. Dreams full of talking and memories.
I'll never ask "why did you do it?" to her memory because I know why. Scitzophrenia can eat you alive. Just devour a normal, happy and intelligent...jesus she was so smart! I was always jealous. She was the queen of writing and I was of drawing in our times together. The only girl I was ever intimate with, and considered to keep being intimate with. Looks are nothing when you love someone that much.
I'm rambling I know.
But My ipod decided to play "leave out all the rest" and I just started crying. Dreamed about her last night too.
I had my (1 of 2) closest friends commit suicide last Augest I think (or november, I wrote it down but can't find it..im bad with dates) No one knows where she got the gun, and I wanna know what the letter she wrote said so bad. At least I got to see her before I went to Ohio. I got to hug, and adore her and had her meet Jeremy too.
I feel weird for typing about this, but I just don't want her memory to go away. I love people so hard (and places too, it's weird) I never feel like they're truly gone. It's so hard.
Personally, I'm having some tough times at home again. But I've stopped trying to be polite and nice. It just dosen't work and I don't know what to do anymore. Just not feeling good lately. :c
- Location:My attic room
I. Have no other hobbies aside from drawing. And I'm not even the best at that! I aways see so many people who are doings things I want to be doing. And I love SO many types of art I never know what to work on or do first! Somehow though... I always feel second-rate. Never the best at anything. Always trying to make art others can get from me too, I do so love commisisons since I like to do things for others. (and sadly it keeps me and my cat fed)
I have a job, but I don't like it. It seems that all I'm good at is food service! Which I HATE. Oh god I hate food service. It's such a thankless job. I respect those in the service though, it's a hard job. D: But what else can I do? There's retail too, but it's still crap.
The only. Only other thing I enjoy besides art really... is plants and some vet stuff. But I don't know a lot about plants and I know a lot about animals. I think Jeremy said I can take a course on botony or something at the local college so I might try that in the summer.
Otherwise I feel like I'm screwed. Dead weight. All I can do is draw and draw and draw. And I feel like it's crap most of the time. But I have so much I want to do! I'm so confused.
And when Jeremy gets his job in animation or wherever we'll go... he'll be accepted but I won't. There's nothing for me to do. I just feel like crap.
bahhhhh!

After the rage-inducing event (so retarded! but I can't wait to have my attic room! Or well PANIC room that happens to have a bed and all of my stuff in.) I'm not afraid to take anyone's shit anymore. I don't like being pushed around. Course the fact the way to the "attic" is through teh BATHROOM might get a little...funny. But oh well! I can't wait to hear the dialouge that comes out of that XD
"Anybody poopin in here? ...guess it's clear to OH GOD WHY?!?"
Went kinda off topic there. :o
But anyway, after the angry event Jeremy took me to Ohio thrift where I got 25 OLD old old My Little ponys! JOY!! I've been washing them and brushing all the crap out of their hair. I feel so kiddish but it's adorable! :D
And then I took Jeremy to dinner at applebees and had a nice night <3
I will continue room construction later today!

holy balls is it COLD HERE.
Back at my house thing. With the roomates. FORGOT HOW COLD IT IS. :C
but yeah.
Working on the most BADASS stencil ever! I'm still going to make a dragon one, and a cat I think. Someone suggested a siamese when I asked about making spraypaint stencils last time, and I like that idea.
But this one is a werewolf! Who dosen't like were-critters? Yeah. That's right.
So! He's almost done, his main layer is anyway, but I'm giving him two/three.
And I'm doing this for morphicon, since the theme is "inner city critters". I've never really shown what I can do with spray before to any of my online peoples except for that snake one.
Here's a grill I did over summer -
I can't find that stencil though and it's making me mad! D: And just as a note, I used outdoor paint so it's safe to cook with! Looks badass too. Not technically done either. I wanted to add some paws on it.

Yay! This tuesday I'll be 23! Awesome. Feels like I haven't have a birthday in forever. Maybe because my last one wasn't a big deal? Hm...early 2008 is kinda hazy for me D: nrrgh... oh well!
IN ANY CASE
I get to hang out with my bestest best friend Jessy. She's my dog food gangster! Wet or dry, we nevah die! >:o I can be a total weirdo around her and she does it right back. Ahhh awesome <3
Little doodle I did at work! I'm on the left. Jessy is on the right!
Also! I'm collecting the Usagi Yojimbo comics FINALLY since I have the money. And random other comics I always wanted too, she kinda got be back into comic buying and it's a love/curse. Thank god for Amazon! I think I'll do some fanart of Usagi, Dont think I've tried since what... 8th grade? XD Ha!
OH YEAH.
I'm going to be at Ohayo (sp?) con in Columbus Ohio! It's an anime convention, and I'm still kind aiffy about cons, but I went last year and this time I have a COSTUME.
I get to be the PYRO from Team Fortress 2! Seriously. Jeremy made me a nearly picture perfect flame thrower and everything. And he's going as the Engineer (figures XD he had most of the costume anyway already from being an electrician! ha!)
but oh god.
This'll be fun I hope! I get to wear a gas mask for a few hours so hurrah. And I get to talk all mumbly and threaten people. YES.
Pictures of course!
