School started, I like my class, I feel I will grow and be enriched by the experiences I will have there. One of my friends is inlove with me, but we're staying just friends right now, we do show affection though and flirt a lot. I managed to break my circadian rhythm issue, so I can wake up for class now. I only go three days a week, so I have 4 day weekends. I only have class for two hours on wenesday.

Evergreen is awesome. I'm just dreading the weather that's going to change here in WA.

I gave a fractal (as per my own tradition) to my faculty today. Faculty get one fractal per quarter that I am with them. I will continue to do this as long as I can make prints. I gave Stephanie Kozick "Final Fantasy". She has to share it with Rose Jang, our other instructor for this course.

I have a couple of things I still need to render and tweak in Photoshop before i upload them. But fractal making will be kind of slow. I might do some fractal making to incorporate into collages for this course I'm taking and what not. Who knows.

Anyways, thanks for watching me, and thanks for what comments and Favs I do get. I appreciate that support!

NExt week I Start classes for my second year at Evergreen.
ALso, monday, I'm getting my second tattoo. It will be of the Evanescence band logo, with a purple drop shadow around the inside and outside curve, and red glow around the two thorns in the middle.

Thanks for all of the pageviews. Thanks for all of the faves. Sorry I haven't done much. Depression kicks ass, and lack of motivation. I"ll probably be doing more when I'm in the routine of school and need creative outlet.

]]> ~AeraCrescent http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/26636903/ http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/26636903/ Sun, 16 Aug 2009 20:03:23 PDT Now i haven't posted much or done much since losing my subscription, moving, and having a boyfriend.
But I find the lack of contact with others ironic. When someone leaves and takes care of life, they get abandoned by those that they used to talk to every day.
And I find it ironic I still continue to climb in PVs, despite being forgotten. There are a few artists who still follow my work and bug me to make things and comment on whatever I write or post, an that's cool. I you guys so much!

As for the rest of the 50+ deviants I watch, especially those rather active in posting things (which I check out every single piece of work that shows up in my devWatch), they don't seem to realize I still exist. D= That saddens me.

I don't know when I will be rendering anymore fractals. I have so many I need to render that are saved, and I still have some prints/posters left over from Sakura Con.

All in all, DeviantArt is becoming more and more difficult to stay attached to. I'm not part of the community anymore, I have been ousted by inactivity. No one remembers who I am it seems. I was waiting until I got a PC/Tower so I could render without risking burnout on my laptop. I'm always cautious about that.

So please, don't be angry with me for not doing much, I really appreciate the views and the faves and what comments I do get. I appreciate that my artwork seems to call in a steady stream of curious visitors.

Secondly, I moved. Im now living with someone in a complex just across the street from TESC.
I learned a lot in the past year, and my morals and values are stronger than ever. Life changes so much.
Amber and I have patched some things up and she's visiting me again. My mother is still sick, Congestive HEart Failure doesn't go away.
When my great grandmother died a few months ago, I guess she left an inheritance. It couldn't have come through at a better time. THanks Grandma Great. Though i'm sorry for the suffering you went through, but the money you left my dad has really helped us. Rest in Peace, I'll miss you.
I now have a somewhat boyfriend. I'm reluctant to claiom his as mine netirely, but i Practice monogamy, so yes I'm taken.
I got one of my friends hooked on Fractals recently and he's been tinkering with the program for Mac.

I've almost got my room set up. I'm waiting to get a new bed hopefully early next month. The apartment is now decorated with a lot of my things, and it doesn't look so drab. My roomate and I get along really well. Living with a guy is easier than living with a bunch of girls, or your parents. And I just ate my last piece of pocky. Sad.

I dont know when I will be making fractals again. I'm kind of avoiding it because it's so much work and I have other things I enjoy more. I still look at my DevWatch stuff and see all of the pretty fractals you guys are making. I'm sure you've noticed that I keep Faving stuff and collecting them.

I'm still here, just not as strong of a presence as I used to be.

D: He will be gone until tomarrow afternoon however, so I'm going to clean here and there, and when he comes back, ask him about what we're going to do about the coffee maker that leaked, and that was as a result, glued to the counter!

I'm too sensitive, and I feel much pain, pain of others, my pain, pain in general. Emotional, Mental, and Physical. This triad of an assault on my senses is too much to bear.


You have hurt me deeply by treating me in the same manner someone who love does.
You have hurt me deeply by denying me my right to see my mother, on several occasions.
You have hurt me deeply by not standing up to the man who has denied me right to see you.
You have hurt me deeply by pretending I don't exist.
You have hurt me deeply by giving me mixed messages.
You have hurt me deeply because you're someone i can connect with, but whom I cannot seek out, because if I do, you push me away further.
You have hurt me deeply by ignoring every attempt I make at improvement.
You have hurt me deeply by throwing away 3 years of Friendship
You have hurt me deeply by judging me and tossing me aside because you don't like some things about me. (That's petty, by the way).
You have hurt me deeply by trying to control me.
You have hurt me deeply by not caring, while I care so much
You have hurt me deeply by not trying to understand who I am.

And I have hurt myself deeply by not taking the time to know myself, or to understand who I am.

I have burned a lot of bridges lately. I am cleaning my slate. A possible deletion of my facebook may be necissary. A new myspace may be necissary. When I move off campus, few of you will be told where I will be living. Not like you would remember anyways.

I am an unessisary person. I shouldn't exist.
It hurts me to care and to love about others. I give and I give, expecting nothing in return, and I get nothing in return, which is fine, but maybe i'm tired of caring when no one else does. I'm tired of trying to take care of my friends and to be there for them, because when I finally want thier help or understanding, they aren't there.


If I could sleep and never wake up, I would.
If i could get away with dissapearing forever and not existing, I would.
If i could vanish into thin air and stay away for centuries, I would.
if i could bury myself alive and sleep for eternity, I would.


If I could die and not hurt myself or anyone else in the process, I would.
If only I could forget I had feelings, so that I could forget about you. All of you, so that i would not be saddened because you have already forgotten me.

I would. I promise I would.
I no longer wish to be a burden upon you all.

I hope you understand why these bridges are burned. You wouldn't care to get the first plank to rebuild it anyways, and I certaintly won't help you.

As of now, everyone I offiically new, past, present/recently are OUT OF MY LIFE.

That's right, I am now done, I don't need anyone or anything.

DeadraArcane (7:23:52 PM): Nope
DeadraArcane (7:24:01 PM): I didnt get them for sexual reasons

lolaker03 (7:30:17 PM): lol Who is their rival?

I could make more fractals, sure, but what would you rather I do for this milestone?

]]> ~AeraCrescent http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/24562780/ http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/24562780/ Sun, 03 May 2009 09:32:26 PDT
Submitted two fractals to *FractalDreams I haven't done that in a long time, they were happy to get them. Woke up to 6 favorites spread out over 4 deviations. I was happy.
Glad you guys still like my stuff. I'm not sure I will be pushing out as many fractals as others on here, because I tend to sleep a lot and/or piss off and do other things, but hey, if I make anything worthwhile I"ll post it.

Haven't been in chats in forever. I'm not sure when I'll finally pop into #Aposhack and be like: "Hey, remember me? I'm back" but maybe one of these days. Same with #DigitalMedia. I still need to dance for `Norke again.

Anyways the tattoo feels tender, just as I expected. It was the actual needle gun sensation that I was suprised at. The little dot at the bottom of the tattoo actually turned me on when he was filling it in with purple ink. When he was doing the outlining however, that was the most uncomfortable part, especially the top curve of the tattoo, which was over the curve of my hip into a rather sensitive area.

I made soem noise, wiggled a little, and I bit into my coat I was using as a pillow while squeezing Nathan's hand.

Also in other recent news, I got an Industrial piercing and my nipples pierced in the same session in early April. I wouldn't compare a tattoo, this one at lest, to that kind of pain intensity. except for that top curve, that was comparable to one of my painful ear piercings.

I'd say on a scale from 1-10:

Tattoo Outlining: 2-4
Tattoo Coloring: 2
Ear Lobe piercings: 3
Navel: 5
Eyebrow: 2
Cartilidge: 6
Industrial: 6-7
Nipples: 8-9

I have a low grade fever right now, but I expect by how this has been going, that I will feel worse tomarrow.

Oh well, it can't be helped. My strep test came back negative. Kinda painful to swallow, it's isolated on one side of my throat. Weird. It also is leaking some mucus from the site, and it tastes foul.
The nurses at the college didn't seem that concerned but they want me to gargle with salt water, and right now im too fucking tired, been up for 24 hours straight.


At least I am creating fractals again, I took some time off from it to focus on other things.

Wow I'm getting up there. I hope that by the time I am 28, i would have found something I'm willing to settle on for a career, and have graduated college. I feel old.

I also look back on the year and the hard times I have had, and realize I have acomplished one major thing: Get back into school. But other goals I have had, are only half-way fulfilled.

I do not feel like I have acomplished much. But let's look at what i have this year:


1. Grew as a person
2. Started School again, at The Evergreen State College
3. Sold Fractal prints
4. Sold Fractal Prints at Sakura Con
5. Passed my first quarter at Evergreen and completed my conditional admit requirements.
6. Got my PS2 from my parents. >:
7. made a few new friends

Not much there.. but hey, it's a start.

I created this because of A.J a guy I met at Sakura Con who's insanely awesome, I made it using his favorite prime numbers. (pretty nerdy huh?). 7, 32, with 16 thrown in for good measure.

It will be posted sometime today or tomarrow depending on how long it renders for. I'm going to try to render it as large as possible so I can get it ready for production, I plan to make a print of this and give it to him.

]]> ~AeraCrescent http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/24171154/ http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/24171154/ Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:28:05 PDT
Tomarrow should be a better day, since it's the longest day for vendors as Sakura Con.


IF ANYONE ON DEVIANT ART IS FROM SAKURA CON STOP BY CREATIVE COSPLAY AND SAY HELLO

I am also now willing to take personal orders via e-mail and arranging things. So I can make a print and ship if off to you if you're interested.

So far so good, I mean there is hope there. The money I will make is going towards an apartment in the summer, so I don't have to live on campus housing again.


In other news, I was going as a scientist and I ran into an Umbrella Cleanup crew guy and we took some photos of me being injured and needing his help. It was pretty fantastic.

I also ran into a guy who was selling Pocky and having it in his coat, he was dressed up as a merchant from Resident Evil 4. It was so fantastic!!!
I wanted pocky but he couldn't sell me his display in his coat, so he handed me his youtube video recorder and I gave him 2 bucks and he ran and got the pocky and handed it to me, and I gave him back his video recorder. "Is that all stranger?" He did the voicer perfectly!

I think I shall go to Sakura Con again next year, and hopefully sell Fractals again.

Also, I'm going to make some high quality prints at Evergreen State College in the digital lab to sell at Sakura Con (If I can keep the money I have in my pocket until monday).

I have not opened Apophysis in a long time, because I'm still deeply annoyed and hurt at the controversy sorrounding Fractal Art.

I believe it is art, and I believe that while some works show more skill, much like a painting does, that it is still valid art. (I mean, people sold canvasses that were blank or just one solid colour)

We will see if my "Art" Is really "Art" at Sakura Con, if it gets sold, then people like it, and if people like it, that's all that matters.

Ah the wonders of Popular Culture and Art Culture.

He's given me the opportunity to print some of my fractals and split he profits with him (He's helping me get access after all).

Summoner's Crest Siren turned out WONDERFULLY and I had a bunch of students watching me print, I even had someone wanting to keep in touch so they can work on a psychology-project and use me as a subject, just a simple interview, really. that same person also wanted my Final Fantasy fractal.

Getting ready for a convention that starting in 3 weeks is tough, and Monday starts Spring Quarter. Bleah.

I still hate DA's ads. I swear, as soon as i joined DA I got a sub, because I couldn't stand it. I really just want to see Art and not the advertisements that pay to be hosted here.

i'm really all about being able to navigate this site without annoying ads, like this fucked up toyota ad. I don't give a rats ass about your fucking car. >:

lol.

So if your going to this year's Sakura Con, let me know.

I have lost my slideshow featuring artist's work, I have lost other modules on my front page, and I have lost my ability to make polls, and I Have lost the lovely CSS that I got from `bluem00n

I would greatly appreciate a few of you donated a month here and there, it really isn't that expensive. I don't have a debit card, some of you do. >.>

Anyways, I can't stand seeing advertisements, I realize it's how DA makes money, but I'm tired of the commercialism on websites and the advertising campagins being forced down our throats.

I'm going on strike until I get at least a month's subscription, so that i can buy time to get a year's worth. Maybe bribe my parents into buying me a year's worth. Using my money of course, but they have the debit, I don't.

I won't be making anything or putting anything else up. If something important happens I"ll let you know, other than that, I probably won't even be logging in.

Toodles.

I will be staying at The Red Lion Hotel in Seattle for this years Sakura Con.

A guy I met at The Evergreen State College wishes to help me print a lot of my fractals for sale at the convention. He is a vendor and sells Keyblades and various other handmade wood/painted weapons.

Please fill out my poll so I can get an idea of what might sell the best. This is a great opportunity for me, and I will be saving the money I make for my first apartment/school.

If this goes well, I may find time to make fractals again, I have just been taking a break from making new ones, but I can prep my old ones for better printing quality.

I should have all sorts of sizes from small to poster-sized to sell alongside the weapons (mostly final fantasy and anime-inspired).

My badge will say Aera, and I should be wearing a labcoat with double helix steel 8guage's.

Let me know if you will be at Sakura Con and if you're staying at The Red Lion!

I'm pretty tight on money, and my great grandmother died, school just ended for the quarter, and I have no plans.

It would be great if someone gifted me a subscription (which si expiring in a week) for my birthday, which is on April 19th.

I was born on Easter Sunday, 12:00. It's true!

The quarter's been tough, and I've been dealing with maujor seperation anxiety, homesickness, and being isolated.
Next quarter I get to take Ceramics and another class about literature and reading/voice acting. That should be fun!

Anyways, I have been drawing and coloring things, taking a break from digital art until I figure out what I am doing with it. I'll scan some stuff over evaluation week when I can get around to it, and when it's not raining like a monsoon. Damn washington state.

This is a reminder that life is never permanent and that people die, in an instant, and then you can never talk to them again, you can never see them, touch them, or hug them.

And so this ruins my chance of ever seeing my Great Grandmother again, or ever having a reason to go to Stockton, CA, where she used to live.

She died today, March 4th, at 6:30Pm Pacific Standard Time.


She suffered for over 2 weeks from heart failure, losing a battle against breast cancer, and kidney failure. She refused to eat, she was in so much pain they eventually put her on methadone.
However, just two days ago they got her to eat a little bit of stuff, but now she's gone.

I have not seen this woman in over 9 years, and now she is dead.

I read the e-mail updates i received regarding her care, condition, and changes, progress, and lack thereof.

Each e-mail was like a documentary, written by my great aunt. it will always stick with me. I'm glad i could have read that, to know what she was going thorough, rather than finding out that she just died. I know the story behind it.

I feel sad that she had to suffer so much.

I have one week left in the quarter, and then spring break happens.

I feel numb inside, and I'm realizing that i am growing up and getting older, that life is just begining for me, and someday, will also end.

My birthday is in April. April 19th, to be exact. I have 3 weeks left On the year-long subscription I got, well, almost a year ago.

Would anyone like to Doneate a month or two? Or would a lot of people like to? Or maybe a 6 months subscription would be good?

In other news..

The guy I met at Chibi Chibi Con asked me again if I wanted to do a printing spree for my fractals and sell them at Sakura Con with him. We should print sometime next week, I'm hoping if all else goes well.

My blood sugar has been haywire lately.

I'm starting to think about making Fractals again, but I don't have time. I have one week and a half left for this quarter and then its SPRING BREAK! SO maybe you will see something show up over spring break. (We can only hope, right?).


I know what i'm taking next quarter: Ceramics and a class that focuses on reading-out-loud skills/literature. That should be fun. 12 credits this time, instead of 16. I hate 16 credit loads.

Someone died in the family and another person is about to die, it's just a matter of when her body will finally shut down from the kidney/heart failure/breast cancer/infection. It's pretty sad.


I'm looking to move off campus, and I have prices down and such. It seems doable. I look forward to it in June.

Class sucks, and I didnt do my paper for this week. i did the rough draft and turned that in, but I don't fucking want to do the rest.

I can't wait until Spring Quarter.

My birthday is April 19th, 9 days after the start of Sakura con. So going there is kinda aprt of my birthday/spring break if spring break is falling on that week, which i hope so.

Jonathan is still an asshole.
And someoen else is still a bitch.
But I love Edwina and always will.
Certain people can go fuck themselves.

Today on Feb 2nd, 11:53Pm PST, I have reached 10,054 pageviews.

I began my DA journey on December 24th, 2007. So in just a little over a year I have reached 10,000.
I know page numbers don't mean anything, but I do know that people get them because people are interested in thier work, or they have loyal watchers who come and go off of htier page daily.

So I want to say thank you to the people who always comment, always fave, and always message me.

Currently I am on a Fractal Hiatus. I'm not feeling very inspired right now, and so there is nothing to post up for the 10k. Maybe at 11k, or 12k. I am not abandoning DA, I am simply unable to make anything right now.
I do have some stuff I am coloring by hand, perhaps i will post those as a series and call it good.

I will hopefully get my navel pierced in a copule of weeks. I look forward to it.

And Might I add my disagreement with the amount of "Trolling" going on regarding Fractal art. If your going to leave DA, do it, don't come back and then shout at Caps at people.
Some people... God.

By the way, Haribo gummy bears are the best!

My arm is healing rather ugly. I hit it while running out of my classroom last wenesday. And I have been fighting against constant Vertigo symptoms since Thursday afternoon.
I have a lot on my plate as a human being, not just as an artist, so please excuse the lack of new work. I may also not be commenting or faving as much, that is also because I dont really want to do anything on here for a bit.

Facebook drama is exploading around me, because people can't talk to me in person, apparently. Despite knowing them here on campus. Whatever.

Did I mention gummy bears were good? This bag's gonna be empty soon. Lame.

Anyways, thank you DA!

Love you guys.

I am putting this on here, because I need an outlet.

Now, people who are reading this, step away if you don't want to read someone lash out at me because they are mad at something else. (Seriously, that's what took the cake).

The person's name has been replaced with a bunch of X's, sine I'll allow her to remain anonomys. This happened on Facebook. Lame, right? That someone who was on my friends list, that I know a little bit from school would reply to me in such a way.

I want to know if A. I'm a slut/attention whore like she's implying, and B. If her words ere justified, in any scenario you can come up with.

You and XXX both seem to really dislike me lately. I'm not sure what I"ve done wrong. I have been waiting a long time for XXX to approach me to talk about things.
And it appears that you're really disliking me, too.
Can we talk about this?

I was polite to you out of respect to others who were polite to you, but I myself have never held you in any esteem. Now, since you have so publicly criticized me, it is not necessary to continue such false appearances.

You have none of the qualities I look for in a friend, but do not let that bother you, because I care mostly for wit, intelligence and entertainment, and little for kindness, loyalty, or fawning admiration. I tire of hearing tales of your constant need for attention, and your insipid exploits attempting to attain that human contact you so crave. I have no doubt that you are a kind person, but currently you are a very confused young woman who must look to herself, not to others, both for flaws and inspiration.

Okay, that wasn't very nice of me- you happened to write me at a bad time, right after some shit went down.

I think that, in spite of the things you write, or that I have seen you write, that you can be very judgmental.

You have scathed me. You judged me based on things you saw online. You took no liberty to get to know me as a person.

However, I should agree, we can't be close friends, but at least we can be civil, correct? Civility is something I admire in a person, if they cannot be civil, then they aren't human.

As for publically criticizing you, and I had this issue with Ben:
It is Facebook. People write shit, they say shit, and if they don't want people saying anything about anything they write. A. Don't have them as friends on facebook, or B. Don't post it at all.

Your last note did come off as very negative in the start. XXX, do not take this wrong way, I really think you need to work on being a little more mature, as do I. But I don't let anger rule my life. I fear that you may. Again, don't take it the wrong way, it's simply observation and that is all i have done to anyone in the mafia group, observed. Period. It is what I do.

You know very little of me, and in the angry response you gave me, it appears you only aw the flaws in me, which is hurtful. I have a tendency to see flaws in people, but i value loyalty and kindness above all else. I find that people who look for wit and entertainment from people all the time are immature, don't want to face the harsh realities of this world. I might be wrong in that. This world is very hard to live in, and a lot of things can go wrong and will go wrong.

I have been through some horrible things in my life. That is why I can write back to you in this day and age after what you have just said, and not because you wrote a second reply. I can reply to the angry scathing words, without batting an eye. Why? Because I have suffered much more cruelty from others that tripples what you have just laid down.

I am a loyal, kind, generous, patient person. And if you knew me even just a little, I think some of the shit you just slathered down on me, you would want to take back.

Either way, it's rubbed me the wrong way, as I'm sure you meant it to. You were angry, you wanted to lash out at someone. You realized it was mean of you, but do you realize it was unfair of you? Almost everything you wrote was unfair of you.

So, yes I agree we cannot be friends, but we can be civil. You are t... ]]> ~AeraCrescent http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/22945157/ http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/22945157/ Sun, 01 Feb 2009 14:12:53 PST 9.300 Pageviews and Counting! Thank You, DA

6. Are you in a relationship?
I wish I was. Everytime I find someone interesting they have another girl they are trying to get with. I always seem to be the last resort, or just for someoenes sexual relief. It's hard to find people I would be interested in dating, but they always seem to always be taken. I guess I'll be single for the rest of my life, with only escapades and fantasy-fullfilment to keep my love life interesting. Ah Well.

7. What is your Favorite Song ever?
Getting Away with Murder - Papa Roach. Rockstar - Nickleback.

8. What word describes you best?
Aera

9. Where are you right now doing this survey?
At my desk in I-209C, by the window.

10. Your worst enemy?
Jonathan Levy-Wollins for being such a thick-headed pig who doesn't realize what he did wrong to make me abandon his friendship.

11. Favorite Day of the Year?
Easter Sunday and APril 19th.

12. What kind of car do you drive?
I don't. People do the driving for me, for free, because I'm a student and my ID acts as a bus pass for Intercity Transit.

13. TV or Radio?
What's that? *cants head*

14. Zodiac Sign?
Aries/Taurus

15. Love or Money?
Seeing as I can't seem to find love.. and seeing as I'm financially stable right now... I don't know. I like being able to get what I need or want, within reason, but I'm kinda missing having a companion...

I'm completely uninspired to make Fractals right now. For one, there are people going around acting like they are better than everyone else.

Fractal Art is a legitimate form of Art. Everything from the color, minor tweakings, and those made completely from scratch or by scripts are all valid.

If someone takes the Mono Lisa and puts a mustache on her, it becomes Satire and a form of Art.
If Someone takes a fractal I have created and uses it in a background, like ~Mistbender did, it's still a form of art.
If someone creates a lot of fractals and changes the colors on certain types, they are still unique pieces of work, and are just as valid as someone else's.

Fractal Art clearly shows skill level, just like painting does. But we don't see people saying they're better than another simply because they have a better and faster way of coloring digitally do we? No, but we see Fractalists being elitist snobs. Snobs taht I thought I got away from in the role-playing community on AOL and Yahoo.

I am completely uninspired. I don't feel that my work is good enough and I am fraid that now I will be ridiculed for my work and told that I, too, am degrading the Fractal art gallery.
And what's interesting is that this person is also leaving DA, but I doubt they will be gone for long.

This isn't a matter that requires people to leave. It's a matter of Respect, Civility, and of bieng Humble. If No Artist can do that, Then they do not belong here Having confidence is great! But to sit there and tell people they aren't good enough and to encourage Drama, is not cool by any means.

For too long do I sit and watch things. I am an observer of man kind.
I am always the one who helps people with thier reltaionship issues, I always give good advice, at least, I hope I do, the feedback I get is always positive, and I try to remain as unbiased as possible. I usually keep my mouth shut if I cannot be unbiased.

I will no longer post anything else Fractal-wise for the time being. I am too uninspired, and I wish not to be scrutinized by elitist snobs.

For those hurt by people who feel a need to bash others, I apologize on thier behalf. For those of you who are made to feel bad because you make a lot of fractals, stick to your guns. You enjoy doing it, so do it.

However i no longer enjoy making them because of the social scrutiny involved right now, and I have a lot on my plate.

You motherfuckers are stressing me out.

I am always willing to talk and hear what people have to say about thier work. I am not taking any sides however in this dArama. I am simply pointing out what I see as wrong. It's common sense people. GROW THE FUCK UP OR SHUT YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH!!

I am not trying ot fuel drama however, I am simply putting my two cents in. If you read this and become offended, it's because you've got an issue and/or are being immature. Suck it up.

I have been traveling so much lately!
I have missed a lot of class lately, too.

First my period hit, and I was really exhausted from it, then I caught a small cold!

The day before yesterday I accidently took too much medication and wound up in the hospital, that was lame. I was okay, it wasn't a lethal overdose.

Wenesday I left early to take a long ass ride down to see my doctor, and a long ass ride back, without any time to see my mom who lives down the street from the doctor!

I have to go to the writing center for every writing assignment this quarter, and I get an extra week to polish up my drafts because of it, which is nice, but I think it's too much work.

I'm so fatigued, and it's not even the middle of the quarter yet!
Winter Quarter always sucks. I much like Fall and Spring Quarter, but Winte quarter always have something bad in store for me.

So far during Earth's winter season I have:

Gotten a Cold
Fallen and hurt myself badly (back in December)
I freeze no matter where I am
I'm fucking tired all the time.
I sleep in as much as I can
Everyone's sick with the cold, the flu, or bronchitis.
Accidentally overdosed

Ugh!

I've had such a horrible week this week, too.

Noticed DA had new configurations that beta testers were playing with. I didn't much bother with testing it until it came out. I kind of hate it because for me, the editing panels are always there on my page and I can't look at it like you normally would.

I did change some things and organize the order a bit, I organize my watch and friend list, and put my Selected Prints folder up, and my Aera-Inspired collection up.

Changed where my polls show and the like.

Hopefully it looks okay. I'm still getting used to it.

Hey guys!

Here's a bit of an update, for those of you who have been following my work for a while, you'll notice some similiar peices popping up.

Don't worry, they are updated, color-enhanced and ready for actual printing. I got photoshop, and now, if yous see an image posted with Print at the end of it, it means it has been actually printed into my personal portfolio, tested, and color enhanced via Photoshop.

There are somethings that Apophysis just can't do, that Photoshop can, also working on a calibrated screen helps!

I invest my own money into making them, and I am pleased with the results of my 8x10 test prints.

So I will spend a little bit here and there re-rendering images and post-editing them to get them ready for printing.

Therefore, and because I get second opinions and help printing in the print lab, all "insert title here" Print's are okay to buy, and are of the highest quality available.

however, I'd like it if you didn't buy from Deviant Art, because their base cost is nearly DOUBLE what i pay to get mine printed. So if you are ever interested, or want a specific fractal re-rendered, and post-edited, let me know, and we can work out a deal. I'll accept Checks for all non-local transactions. Or even perhaps art trades! Where I send you a fractal and you send me something. That would be cool.


Also I keep biting the inside of my cheek when I eat food, it hurts and I dont understand it.. .this is the third time in less than an hour! OMFG.

So far I like my roomates.
Two of them are really into zelda and video games, which is really cool.

One of them is into paranormal and ghost stories like I am, and I've bonded with her. Spent more time with her than the other two so far.

This guy I used to really like, who also really liked me before he broke up with his ex, is now liking this girl that he was flirting with a lot.
His excuse was that he flrited with everyone, but he flirted with her a lot more thana nyone and had completely started to neglect me as a friend and possible interest. So I lost interest, because I don't compete.
And so when I finally asked him about it, he said he might date her. But he never clearly told me anything about how he felt about me ever again, and it seems that nothing we did together or anything we said means anything to him now.

Cuddling doesn't mean just cuddling to him. I knew the second he said he was cuddling with her, meant he was wanting to be with her.

I'm disgusted by his behavior and I feel hurt for some reason, even though I don't quite like the person he's become. I don't know her very well so I can't say anything good or bad in regards to who she is or what she's done, because I just don't know her. I just think he needs more time. I thought he was going to wait until Spring to decide if he wanted to date someone again. Oh well.

Men.

Anyways, the first day of the quarter went well. I had a lot of energy today. I got my tuition check and so I went Mall Shopping.

JC Penny's was having a huge sale and I bought some more shirts and two pairs of pants, and socks. Victoria's secret was having their semi-annual sale, so I bought 5 panties for 25 dollars, and then hot topic, I turned in all my cards I had, got 15% off the buy one get second half off deal. I got smoe DNA helix 8g's. They're kind of heavy and weird, but i would probably wear them on special occasions but right now I'm enjoying them.

I like the camo pants i bought, they are comfortable. However, both pairs of pants I bought are really low rise, so I really can't bend over.

I was happy to see some of the people I knew in class. Which was cool.

The Zombie Hunting thing seems well-received by those who noticed. I inspired ~DawnBluewings to draw me as Zombie Hunter A. (Aera's a zombie hunter!). I can't wait to see what she draws based off of the photographs she took of me posing!

Bit worried about Sam however. And i dont know how to convey to Jonathan that i'm a bit hurt and have been by him. I don't hink he notices or cares. Which is very unlike him.

I spent about 182 at the mall, but I got tons of shit from different stores, So I really stretched poor benahmin franklin out! lol.

I have my two sets of keys until Friday at 1:30pm. I moved into I209 today. Nice wood floors, the roomates, who are not here, keep everything clean, and well organized. Someone likes anime, and there is a TV. I feel more comfortable having my stuff here than at the other apartment. Everything has a place, and I notice how peoples stuff is seperate, but respected, just by the way they are placed. Especially in the kitchen.

Someone cooks, there is a cooking/meal schedule, and there is a recycling schedule. With a blank spot for me to fill in. There are notes left around, and it's clean. Did I mention how well organized this place is?

My room is only a few feet smaller, no big deal. Jonah helped me bring some of the heavier stuff in. I'm greatful. My room has 3 coat/hat hooks by the door, which is better than the one hook on the back of my old dorm room door.
My window is not by my bed, and I can see out to the rest of the complex, and there isn't an annoying light always shining through.

I am closer to the HCC and ultimately to upper Campus now. But the walk before wasn't that big of a deal either.

Class starts on the 5th, by then I should have this room well-organized and ready to be lived in. A lot of my food and my bath stuff is still at N207, I still have until friday to get it all. So I'm done for today.

The desk is bigger, with a portal set of drawers I can move and turn into an end table if I wanted. The setup I have is nice.

The kitchen is very nice, in my opinion. Much better than the old corridor kitchen I had. this is an L shaped kitchen, which much more open inviting space. The Chi here is excellent. My bulliten board is also nicer! lol,a nd higher up on the wall. I want to wait until my roomates return from break before I start putting stuff away in the bathroom and the kitchen.

I don't want to impose or step on any toes. I want to respect thier space, as I am sure they will respect mine. This is Substance Free, so none of them drink or do any drugs, besides prescription.

which is nice. So I will ring in the new year with New roomate,s a new room,a new location, new furniture, new bed, a fresh new quarter, and hopefully some new friends.

Happy New Year everybody.

Until Friday I have this secluded room on the 10th floor. Friday, I move into I209C, ,Substance Free housing. So I got two peices of paperwork to fill out. One is for any damages or anything wrong with the apartment/room I was assigned to. The other is for me to bring to my future roomates and have them sign, but it's break so they may not be there, if that is the case, RAD will simply e-mail them and let them know I will be moving in.

Substance Free tends to be quieter than Quiet housing. AND It's a renovated apartment with better heaters, wood floors,, a nicer more open kitchen and better furniture! YES! And it's a 4 person suite! Not a 6-room apartment!

They were astounded that they found that room vacant. So I took it. Now I don't have to be annoyed with Patty's potlucks or Patty's drug use, or Rachel's guitar.

But, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I don't know my new roomates at all. I don't know anyone in I-dorm. But we'll see how it goes.

that said, I need to find people to help me move Friday and then I will spend most of Friday, Saturday and Sunday organizing and settling in, before class on Monday.

Currently, due to some stuff going on, I am staying in the top floor of the tallest building on Campus.
A-dorm 10th floor, room 16. A1016. It has a very loud humming sound, and the water is hot, and will not turn cold.

Im afraid of elevators so I will be heading down about 7 flights to the nearest water fountain to get some cold water to drink. that's okay, I don't mind. It's a good workout. It was jut a pain in the ass to do it while carrying a bag and my backpack full of my essentials.

ResNEt wireless doesn't reach up here, so I have to plug in. I'm glad my ethernet coord is very long because the port for it is near the ceiling, and its a somewhat tall ceiling, since theres a high slope in the roof where I am at.

I am the only person in this building. If I do not show up in 3 days, th zombies in the basement might have found me. o.o

Hey everyone. First I want to say thank you for the favorites and sometimes the comments. Though I wish I would get more feedback and comments. Sometimes the random fave + Running is annoying. I do it, too.

So one of my resolutions is to try to comment on things that i like and try to state why I like them!


I wish everyone a good holiday. I recently got into Lakewood, my parents came all the way on icy roads and snowy grounds to come and get me. My step-dad has been very kind and has helped me move over ice and walk around outside when we go places. My injury is improving, except for the one spot, which I hope will be better in about 3 days. Treatment with Zoloft is certain now.

So my second new years resolution is to take Zoloft every day and not stop, even if I start feeling better on it!

I want everyone to have a safe and happy New Years and a safe and happy beginning of Januarary. For those of you suffering thoruhg the odd winter of Western Washington, I hope it gets better. I live in Olympia, so it's important it clears up soon. I'd advise you to be cautious on ice. Black Ice is evil and often times strikes when you think it is not there.


And now for a list of things i must complish in Januaray:

1. Invest about 50$ dollars into my print account at The Evergreen State College
2. Print some fractals to flush out my physical portfolio
3. Print North Star and make one other fractal and print it for ~Vanarath as part of an art trade over the mail (Craft trade).
4. print North Star for *StarDragonInc
5. Print a fractal of ~kissmybaritone 's choosing.
6. Organize my prints and print more, set defiante prices on each one depending on design.
7. Look into selling them by word of mouth to start with, and build a website featuring my fractals, the prices, and how to contact me or order them.

-I will only accept checks as of now, or cash. If you don't know me IRL, then a check is a good option.
-The money spent on making Fractals supports The Evergreen State College, a liberal arts and sciences college in Olympia, WA. The Evergreen State College home page

Comments or suggestions on how to sell/organize/info about shipping within the US would be great!

Currently I cannot ship to Canada or outside of the united states, that would be too costly. The price of a fractal may include shipping and handling, but i need to figure that out.
Please do not buy my prints off of DeviantArt, they charge too much, and I would much rather do the labor myself and get more familiar with my work than have DA print them for me.

Today, due to the huge winter storm that his Washington,the rainy evergreen state, I fell, and received nasty deep bruises (contusions) and strained muscles in my pelvis, back, and neck.

I am very unhappy right now, because now I have to take pain killers and sleep a lot and put ice on my body. I'm very stiff and sore, and will be more stiff and sore tomarrow as well.

What's wrose is this morning I went to lakewood to pick up my presription for Zoloft, when I finally was able to get back into Olympia, the pharmacy wasnt going to fill it that late (Rite Aid Sucks, but i dont know which bus goes to the walgreens) So I can pick it up at 10 am tomarrow problem is..

1. I hurt myself so I really wont feel like gonig out there tomarrow.
2. It's going to snow about a foot tonight. Well 3 inches to a foot and I expect it to be more like 5 inches.

Well, the poll rang in with 3 votes for uploading more pictures. I think I have uploaded a lot today.
I always carry my cellphone with me, and I take pictures of interesting things.

I wanted to thank you all for the many comments and favorites, and for the support and good-will. I am anticipating receiving m 9k PVs today. So, this is my 9,000 pageviews milestone.


I passed my first quarter at Evergreen with all 16 credits. I'm where I want to be in life, and I have struggled greately with anxiety and lack of proper communication with my parents.

Some people are becoming interested in my fractals, and I will be working on a catelogue website with a price list, and maybe a paypal account after I establish myself at our print studio and make some in advance to possibly ship, or to hand over to first customers without much of a wait-time.

It's winter break and we had a huge winter storm hit Western Washington, that's what inspired all of the pictures. We never get more than maybe 3 inches of snow per year, if that. Washintonians don't know how to work or live or drive in the snow, so you can imagine what it's like if we get this much. (Considering they act like complete idiots when it snows less than 3 inches..)

Campus closed itself at 3 yesterday and 3 today. It's been boring, but at least there have been some interesting photos. A lot of students have left campus for break, and so there really isn't much to look at, but those still here for a few more days have been making things.

I have, for my 9,0000 pageviews, created this collection of Snow at Evergreen, and Snow Art series.

[link]

I hope everyone has a good break and a good holiday season. I plan to be on campus for most of the break, I really do not plan on leaving. It's too hard to travel right now.

Anyways, I am now 1,000 pageviews forward, not like it matters, but they're milestones for me to keep track of.

Thank you DA.

I am uploading a lot of pictures, that I have taken at Evergreen's newly renovated Library. A-wing had been under construction since the summer of 08. I recently went in there and started exploring, they left the stair well open, and while most doors were locked, I was able to nagivagate all 4 floors of the Library, except the rooftop garden/terrace, because the doors leading outside were locked. The open floor to the lobbey below on the 3rd floor was fenced off, but I could manuever around that, into other parts.

I saw a lot of empty office, and almost futuristic like qualities of archetecture, that it reminded me of a Resident Evil movie/laboratory.

Therefore, I shall announce A-wing as LabIII at The Evergreen State College.
It was kinda cool to wander around, no one was there, I was completely alone. And now i know how to escape quickly if there is to be another OUTBREAK of the T-virus. (haha).

In the stairwell, a mural was painted by students in 1979, it was very inspiring, I have photos of that, too.

Also there are some photos coming up of my new peircing, me and my friend Jacob.

Enjoy. (All cellphone photography...)

Yes, Wenesday, TODAY is my last day for Fall Quarter, the last day of my first class/program at Evergreen. o.O
It all went by so fast, and I learned so much it seemed. I learned a lot more about myself and things that i have noticed all of my life, rather than in the program itself. Sometimes programs are like that, they really enrich your life, and expand on information you've already known about things (such as Pop Culture).

i have to begin writing my self evaluation today (later today), and then I get to submit it by 3 on Thursday. It will be interesting to see what my Faculty have to say about my performance in class, and what kind of evaluation I am going to be receiving.


We're having a potluck after our last seminar for the quarter. I couldn't think of anything to bring, and a lot of students thought that maybe they would bring stuff. since the potluck is after the seminar, we can't bring hot things or cooked things really, it has to keep for at least an hour.
I bet you any amount of money, a lot of the students are gonna bring food in from the Corner store here on campus. ROFL. I can just see it now: powdered doughnuts from the corner store. XD XD XD

I filled out this servay for Evergreen's Cafeteria (The Greenery), and a few months later, they announcd the winners.

I received the GRAND PRIZE. THE GRAND PRIZE: AN 8 Gig IPOD TOUCH

I couldn't believe it. I signed some paperwork, just so that it was witnessed that I received it, and now i'm charging my new toy. I plan to get some protection for it, so I don't scuff it up like I did my old 80 gig classic. I will probably give the 80 gig classic to my parents, who bought it for me two years ago.
I didnt need an Ipod as big as 80 gigs. That's what my external hardrive is for, and I don't horde a lot of music or anything, either. This will be great to be used as a portfolio for my fractal work. People will be able to see it more clearly.

Anyways, I am humbled by Karma's choice to hand this to me, after all the hard work I have done to earn my place here at Evergreen.

Don't read the last half of this If you don't want some dARAMA, or hear me ranting or talking about my feelings.


Got that paper done, I titled it: KAOS across The Globe.
Printed some readings down, our class will wrap up the quarter with Pee-wee Hermon and Malls and Zombies. bleagh @ Dawn of the Dead. (I have always been one for counterculture).

I want to get another peircing, a stud in my left ear, next to the 8guage crescent I got in it. (I have the 8's in both my ears now). Will have pictures of the new earrings, and the collar I bought.

I dont know, I just have this urge to change my style really quickly. I have all the guages I need, sO I can restretch an let them go back in for normal earrings as much as I want, and I never get infections from it.

Stretching from 10g to 8g was really easy. A little painful, but not much, and by the end of the night, they felt much better, and today, there is no pain, they feel like I have had them in for months. That's the best experience you can have.

I'm having social anxiety and have been isolating myself a lot, andI get really moody when visitors come by, which has pissed off Bill. He doesn't understand. Not to mention I can't get any work done when people I know are around, or when my roomates have visitors over.

I also noticed noise is making me anxious, and when people walk up to me, I get anxious, for some reason. It's annoying. And it's depressing. Still not completely out of depression but doing better now that my Final Paper is DONE!!

Next up: My Self Evaluation for my first quarter at Evergreen. We have some guidelines to follow so I will be checking the checklist, checkin' it twice (>.> and will begin the writing process. It's due tuesday morning, but I should be able to do it all Monday night. Right now its almost 11 at night, I woke up at 3pm, and took a nap at 5pm, not sure when I will sleep, but I know i've been pretty tired lately.

Deactivated my Facebook. I couldn't handle the Drama around Jonathan anymore, and I didn't want to associate with anyone we mutually know anymore. So I deactivated my facebook and called it a day. He won't even notice, nor will any of my other 'friends'. But that's quite alright. I will no longer be playing Mafia. I constantly feel like I'm going to be sexually violated, and I constantly feel awkward around the polygamist folk.

I just feel really bad for the issues I have, and how much of a bitch and a jackass I seem. None of this is my fault, and I really am trying to get help and talk to people about it, but paperwork and availability of people is crunching me down considerably.

Also, Looking for some new music to put on my Ipod. Listening to music has become a coping mechanism, and with my new skull candy lowriders (CHROME PURPLE!!! ) I can drown out a lot of the world around me.

Unfortunately I am also depressed because I want to role-play again ,but I was shunned so badly by RTP and ~LittlePirate and ~nicoga that I simply do not want to anymore, I'm afraid to, because of the actual OOC bullying I received.

I'm actually torn at this point. do I continue with school? or do I just.. end it all? I'm not suicidal, but i know its not possible for me to cease to exist without dying, but I don't want to die. I'm also becoming a little bit morbid as of late again. And inspired, too which will lead to some dark art and writing, if I ever could write again, but I'm still pretty upset about what happened when I used to write, and how people responded to it, that I don't think I can. People can be really cruel towards others creative expression. Those are the kind of people who are pretty damn heartless.

My roomates keep trying to include me in on stuff, and I always refuse, and I dont think I will be going over to bill's again, not for awhile, he'll be busy one of these weekends anyways, andI dont awnt to go home for the winter break either.
So that leaves me with no option but to be home at Evergreen, with my roomates, and I'll have to learn how to ignore everyone, or be able to wal... ]]> ~AeraCrescent http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/21858346/ http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/21858346/ Sun, 07 Dec 2008 03:16:15 PST 8.500 Pageviews and Counting!

It's amazing how suddenly my moods have changed.
Im not Bipolar. I think I've got the winter blues.

I went to class today, and I wasn't happy to see anyone. I made an effort to be cheerful and to be interested in what my Faculty did over the break, to even speak to them, or to even speak to a couple of the people I can barely call friends right now.

I haven't really befriended anyone in the class, but I noticed about two or three people sit by me, cool. Whatever.

i'm so apathetic today, and my mood keeps shifting downhill. I was out with Tristan today, we had a good time. I missed him and we can relate to one another pretty well. Unfortunately, I'm still a bit melencholy even with him.

Bill has seen a lot of my mood changes, but around him I'm the happiest. I'd say with Bill my happy level (100 being normal) is about at 50-70.
With everything else it hovers between 30-50.

I'm starting to get a little concerned, with the way I have been feeling. I don't even find myself that cheerful around Jonathan anymore, someone I care about and am kinda close to, but not really.

I'm starting to get used to my roomates a bit more, but I'm never happy to see them either.
And to be honest Iwasn't really happy to see my parents. Initially, yeah but during the whole week I wasn't happy being around them. Its not that I didnt want t obe, it's just that nothing is the same as it used to be.

The quarter's coming to an end, I'm caught up on work, and I'm doing everything well, but theres some weird empty feeling inside of me. But I still care about things and I still move forward, and I still laugh and cry, but I feel empty sometimes doing it.

Everything is so surreal Entirely so. And now its 12:26 here and I need to sleep, but I feel a need to write a journal entry about this. A rather Emo one might I add.
Am I trying to see if people will respond and reach out to me? Am I reaching out to people? Am I responding to any neglect I feel I may have been getting? Am I neglected? Am I forgotten? I don't really think so.
When I came back from break, some people were really happy to see me, but just a few. And in ever pursue friendships with them really, they have enogu hfriends. They're sociable people and outgoing.

I'm outgoing to a degree. But I wouldn't put myself under the loner or outgoing categories either. I don't belong in either. I'm just me. I'm unique and I have my own way of doing things and my own opinions and perspectives on things.


I have a foot with a high-arch, that's kind of wide. I couldn't find a shoe that would fit well, in any of the sizes I know I can wear. I need a lot of support in the foot and the ankle and I can't even find that in men's boots. (i was looking for winter/rainy boots/workboots).
And instead of being between a B and a C, and being a 38, I am between a C and a D and a 36!
The pants i had let in still don't fit well,a nd fall off my ass with a belt. What the fuck is going on with me?

I'm just so different. Nothings like it's supposed to be, or how it's always seemed to be.

My feet and legs hurt for some reason and maybe its because I wandered around the mall for a bit, but I don't knwo why that would make my feet or legs hurt because I've done that a few times lately, walked around a lot, and I never had pain.

I don't like medicaton because my body reacts badely to it, and right now im not typing well, so excuse the typos. I used dto be able to take anything, and be okay, now i can't.

I find myself buying things, foodwise that only my parents used to get, because it reminds me of being home. Yet I was never really happy with home. Maybe i just wasn't happy with how things changed as I got older.

My childhood's left me, and I still strive to keep some of that feeling, and it's hard. I don't make up stories as much as i use to, I dont role-play anymore because of people like Heather and Will and Ron and Ivy and etc etc. Because of being shunned for expressing myself with creative writing. Being critiqued told how i could write or with whom I could write with, or who not to. As if people had stakes and claims on other people in the textual RP world. Man, fuck you guys. You ruined a great creative outlet for me, and I didn't want the issues, so I left. Even though I could have stayed, but it was all too painful. And Man, fuck you, Heather for pretending to sympathize about my father and his cancer. You're one crazy bitch. You and your stupid little emoticon... ]]> ~AeraCrescent http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/21732198/ http://AeraCrescent.deviantart.com/journal/21732198/ Sat, 29 Nov 2008 13:59:30 PST 8.500 Pageviews and Counting!

The break is over and it's time to get back to work. Only two more weeks in the quarter to go, and then another 2/3 weeks of vacation.

I had a hard time over the week, and after taking myself off of Celexa, I had a major depressive episode for a day, but I'm okay now.

Went to this cool bar in Downtown Olympia. It's not a college bar. It's a Pub. They serve Scooby Snacks at Happy Hour. I tried thier sampler of Ale (They also brew thier own ale), and I like the Ruby and the Nut Brown.

It's a nice place, and they have good deals at happy hour, for sure.

Woke up early today despite going to bed at 4 in the morning. Was out with Johnny and Crystal and Ion. Took a cab back to TESC. Our Cab Driver was cool.

Apparently there is a room at Evergreen where they keep all thier stuff from the 60's. Apparently you can find pictures of it on flickr.com or something.

Anyways, I have a lot of laundry to do, and I'm debating on washing my sheets, but then that means I have to make my bed. God i hate doing that. I'll wait until next weekend, I got too much to do this weekend to be worrying about my bed. I don't sleep in it much anyways.

Thanksgiving was alright. It's not the food that matters, it's what happens on that day and if you get to spend it with your family, which I did. Despite some discourse.

I returned to Evergreen Friday, a day early, and people were actually glad to see me. So maybe I do fit in somewhere.

I make Killer scrambled Eggs BTW. Haha.

Uploaded a lot of Fractals I made over the break. I'm glad i finally have some new things to show you! Check out my poll, and please comment on it.

Other than that, I gotta start getting ready to leave and make the trip out to Lacey.

Keep Your Geoducks Slimy!

It really is, it's so hardcore.
Not only are the side effects wide-ranging and differnt for everyone, it doesn't even start to work for a month. You have to suffer through awful side effects for a month before it begins fixing the problem it was given to you for in the first place, and those side effects could include worsened symptoms of what it was given to you for!

What's worse: Once you stop taking it after you get on it, you have withdrawls. Some people have withdrawls after taking it for only one week

Me? I went to my physician tuesday and got prescribed 20mg of Celexa.

Me? I took it for one day and decided: No Fucking Way.
I can't handle the side effects, I can't handle the irrational fear and cold sweats it gave me, my anxiety wasn't nearly that bad until I took Celexa.
I dont like foreign chemicals in my body anyways, I would much rather try herbs than synthetic pills.

I don't feel that my anxiety/stress issues warrent the use of such a hardcore Anti-depressent that they happen to give in lower doses for anxiety. As it stands i dislike Seretonin reuptake inhhibitors. Celexa would not allow me to take Naproxin, an NSAID I take for back pain when my back gets agitated. I wouldnt' be able to take Advil, something I take when I don't take Naproxin for headaches.

Celexa causes headaches and migraines, something I livced without for many months. But on just one day of Celexa, I had horrible headaches, and now, almost 32 hours later, I'm still having headaches.

Infact today I had burning hot flashes. I AM NOT MENOPAUSAL
I can do this. I can do this on my own ,with some therapy and people to talk to. Without drugs, without excessive use of alcohol, without compensating by doing risky behavior.

I CAN GET OVER THIS ANXIETY. Because the medications for it would hurt my ability to perform in school.
I think hibiscus petals would be a much better alternative. And licoriche root (which doesnt take like licorich candy, might i add).

I feel so shitty on Celexa, and I would have to go through this for a month? And knowing me, I would take myself off of it, if i got tired of taking it, and i would have WITHDRAWLS?! And you have to be weaned off of celexa for weeks, maybe a month before you can get off of it entirely? Oh Fuck No.

Celexa, you are THE WORST medication I have ever been prescribed right up there next to:
Adderal, Srattera, and Trazedone.

The fact that they are giving me an ANTIDEPRESSANT for anxiety is bad enough. Anti-depressants always throw me off key and make everything helter skelter. I'm not depressed. I simply have the holiday blues, but overall I am happy and energetic. I'm healthy and strong.
Let's not fuck that up by making my mind a drone and making me lethargic with pills such as Celexa. Mmmkay?

There has to be other alternatives.

if any of you guys know of any, or any suggestions, please let me know. or things that have helped you with your anxiety and sometimes panick attacks. Please, you can even write me a note if you think it's too personal to share in a comment.

I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving. Me? I suffered with two horrible anxiety moments, a bad headache, and hot flashes.

I have returned home for the Fall Break + Thanksgiving Holiday. I have brought a lot of schoolwork with me. Reading, a Project/Script to work on (If you havent read my last journal, do so) and a book to read, so I can show it to my Faculty to see if he would be interested in it.

This is my second day of staying at Amber's ( ~kissmybaritone ) After I went to the mall with Jacob ( ~bocaj ) yesterday, I went to her place. There isn't really any place to sleep at my mom's, and if I slept there, I wouldn't get much sleep, if any. I'll be working on typing up my script for this project, to get it out of the way. My group partners still haven't e-mailed me with anything. oh well. It's on me now. And I will even do the power point presentation for it, all by myself. I'm self-reliant. But they are so dependant on other people to get them by. It's sickening.

Saw Amber's dad today, we all hung out and had some good Vietnamese food. I love salad rolls. Jasmine tea is very good, and good for you. I had like 4 cups of that! (of the tiny tea cups).
I will spend tomorrow with my mother while dad is at work, and watch that DVD with her, probably.

They tacked on a butload of reading to do for the 9th week of teh quarter (the week I return). I need to find a printer that can print double-sided because I can't read stuff well online, I need to mark up the pages, and I AM NOT going to waste paper by printing on one side only! Theres no excuse for that shit. Maybe tonight I will be able to work on a fractal, I'll steal Amber's USB mouse and use it while she's gone. She won't mind.

Approached Anna on facebook, trying to see if she'll talk to me and work things out a little bit. I don't know if she will reply. Patty (another roommate) has her birthday on monday (tomorrow) so I noted her on facebook and told her happy birthday and what not.

Rachel, my third roomate is in Houston, TX right now with her family for the break. And me? I'm only 20 minutes away from Olympia, WA in Lakewood/Tacoma/Fife, WA.

To all my Watchers and Fans
The Digital Imaging Studio at The Evergreen State College allows you to edit your digital images and print them for a small fee depending on the size of the image!
I can now make 8x10's for MORE THAN HALF OF THE BASE COST THAT DA MAKES THEM FOR!
That means my Prints/Fractals I can create and ship for less than what i could previously and you don't have to buy them through Deviant Art! I may be setting up a paypal in the future after I have flushed out my portfolio. So more information will be coming. If you like what i have made so far, by all means, let me know and we can work personally to make sure everything goes well, safe, secure, and makes everyone happy.
If you have questions, I would be more than happy to hear them. If you have advice, I would LOVE to hear that, too.
