Tuesday I wake up with insane pain in my sternum and on either side of my neck... I fear the worst, naturally. I can't remember much of what happened that day, but I decide to make a doctors appointment while being groggy and thirsty (dry throat) for the better part of the day.

Wednesday is another day that I'm not sick but still hurting. The pain in my sternum subsides, but I can't really move my head from side to side due to pain. I made a doctors appointment for the next day at 4.

Thursday is when I had the cold. Runny nose, dizziness, the works. Someone called me around 9 am that day, but I decide to skip my first class of the day, sleeping until 1 pm. Later I find out that the school doctors office actually canceled my doctors appointment, and tells me to go to an off campus clinic, which I eventually do.I wrote my teacher saying that it wasn't my intent to sleep late, and told her about what I assume is enlarged lymph nodes (which is the precursor to things from throat infection to cancer). She sends her regards, and extends the due date for one of my projects. Ok, one class down, all I need to do is do some things in my art class and then go to Japanese.

No biggie. I tell my Sculpture 2 teacher that I'm sick but still willing to work, to which he insists that I go immediately to the doctor, and I did. The doctor gave me a perscription for some antibiotics, musinex, and some nose spray to clear up my nose (Which says "FOR THE NOSE. NON SCENTED SPRAY."... damn you Anosmia.) all of which costs around $40. Guess I won't be eating this week.

Friday I'm a bit better, but there's nothing for me to do... so I do nothing. I'm still a little sick, but I make due and read some things vaugely and play Fallout 3 all day. I also got a demo for a videogame called 'Brutal Legend' which is absolutely hilarious... I have to get it.

Saturday... That day I will not go into great detail with. I just had some fun with friends.

Sunday I woke up late after our little adventure the night before, and nearly was late for my star wars RPG game which happened at 12. I woke up at 12:08. I'll detail what happened with my character if you'd like to see, if not, stop reading. Also sorry for some spelling and grammar mistakes... I'm pretty tired.

Just so you know, my character is a bit more stealthy and sly... and prone to being more devious than the other jedi. She was training to be a jedi (she was picked up from a city-world and taken to dantooine) and then kind of got bored being in one place, so she wandered onto a cargo ship and wound up on Tattooine. She's a left handed Duros who is a little proficient in Jedi ways, but is all about stealthiness and doing famous 'quick draws'. She managed to make a living off swoop bikes and made a living in it selling and piloting them. Early on she encounters a slave with a thermodetonater in a bar who is threatening them all with it. My character attempts to reason with the slave, saying he'll be free, but he doesn't listen and instead arms the grenade, to which she shoots the man in the chest (she wanted to hit him in the wrist, but no such luck) and dives for the detonator (disarming it) in one swift move. She took the slave to a doctor, claiming it was her slave, who patched him up. From then on my character has had a thermodetonator and is tempted to use it every chance she can.

Fast forward.

When we ended last week, my character and her party were fighting 3 Sith- 2 aprentances and 1 master. My character is worthless at close range, and got hit a lot. Eventually she got knocked down to 18 health when she tumbled out of combat and into a safe 'meat shield' position behind the rest of her teammates (who had waaay more health than her.). One of the party members survived a hit from force lightning, and managed to hurl one of the apprentices into the other, causing massive damage (he loves that 'move object' thing. He used it once to detonate grenades on soldier's belts and to fling around his lightsaber without even touching it.).

When we start, she (Who's name is Jaan, btw) critical hits one of the Sith apprentices, killing him. The sith girl apprentice gets pissed and hurls me down a flight of stairs, doing 10 damage. I slink away back to the ship, starting it up (she is proficient as a pilot), and tending to her wounds as the rest of the members clean house.

Jaan finally returns to Dantooine after 18 years on another planet (in fact she's not really sure if she has parents or where her home world was, but she assumes it was Tatooine) and begins training somewhat apathetically. Eventually the team follows a lead and ends up going to Kashyyyk (wookie world), where they are ambushed by a Sith battle ship. One of the par... ]]> ~Canti128 http://Canti128.deviantart.com/journal/27483757/ http://Canti128.deviantart.com/journal/27483757/ Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:38:13 PDT [link]

Wanted to skip my first class because I was using my "Spidey Sense" and it told me that there would be a pop quiz in class... My roommate got me up and guilted me to go. There was a pop quiz. On the 4th question, someone who walked in didn't realize that it was a test and blurted out the answer. Thats perhaps the only answer I did know. That question was replaced with one that I didn't know. Later on I found out I magically got 50% on it. Yay?

I'm not really sure what I did after that class, but in art I had to carry over our sculpture from my partner's room to the art studio... and I got the heaviest piece. He looked good. On friday I constructed the legs and let my partner 'skin' it with aluminum foil. It looks pretty good. Pictures will be up later on. The other projects, atleast two of them, were either unfinished or will be taking their time ironing out minor details and such. For a team that had a late start, we were technically the first ones finished. I was happy about that.

Had a Japanese quiz; missed like 4 questions but it was all easy.

Hung around with friends outside of japanese... and invited someone over. We played Smash Brothers Brawl. I one almost all the games.

.... I wanted to draw, but nothing seemed to come out. I wanted to do a thing about Pepper.... but... meh. Just got too tired and drained. I'm also in some pain... so thats why its been a bleh day.

I didn't? apologies

Alright, for my sculpture 2 class we have to make a wooden man out of 2x4's and plywood. The catch of this project is that its a group project and one of the body parts has to be exaggerated, enlarged, removed, or absent (lol dirty thoughts) and the sculpture has to be touching three places (like on the ground or wall). With my project there's this guy in a sort of meditative state, with his legs severed and off doing something else. Its supposed to say something, but its sort of lost in translation. Its supposed to be a guy holding a videogame controller in his lap, which makes it already look like a meditative position.

Out of all the various designs ours seem to be built like a tank. Its ribbed and structures pretty well. Although I can sort of feel that my partner is sorta resenting the pose of the wooden man, but whatever. Later on we're going to skin it with some sort of fabric or something.

Thats what I worked on all day today, the assembly of the torso, head, and arms. lot of screws and glue. The legs will be done next week and skinning the week after that. Pictures will be up.... sometime. Possibly >.>

On Thursday we had just started to assemble our wooden guy, but we had a drill that needed a 'chuck' to change out drill bits and things. Get this- there's two drill that need to have a chuck to operate it, but there's only one chuck. We got stuck sharing it with a group and, well, I got a little mad. I'm disappointed at myself for getting mad at the group of soccer girls who were waiting for the chuck... first time thats actually happened since possibly highschool.

Anyway, the day is a bit of a blur from there. At one point I was killing time before my Japanese class and I didn't want to go home because I would then be late. So I hung around and chatted with this lovely girl from my art class, whom I'd really like to get to know a bit more. Unfortunately I was a bit incoherent, so I probably made a fool of myself :/ She was a bit sick, and I said I was too... so perhaps she thought that it was the cold effecting me and not the fact that I was tired. hopefully thats what happened She's a lovely girl... I think she might be flirting a bit. Teasing playfully is flirting, right? Her name is Ann, for future reference

Went to the grocery store and gamestop today. Nothing interesting happened at the grocery, but alternately I bought Veautiful Joe for $3, Dead Rising and Condemned: Criminal Origins for pretty cheap too. Its all good. I managed to play Dead Rising all night, which is why this journal is going up so late (or early). I can't wait to try Veautiful out though Tomorrow is another day! Oh, and I also preordered Modern Warfare 2

Thats all, I'm a bit tired so I'll catch you all on the flip side.

I donno. I sorta wanted to put something else here. Its now been my second week back at college. While my days have been getting progressively better, they're still not amazingly awesome. I guess if you put the quality of my days on a line graph, the wednesday last week would be the lowest point on the graph, and today would probably be the highest. Heck, last Wednesday was pretty cool too.

Last week's Wednesday:
I had a cold from riding home in the rain Tuesday. I didn't eat anything for lunch... or, rather, I ate very little. I had two classes back to back, and by the time I had gotten to my last class of the day I was starving. So, I decide to go to a cafe on campus, which is conveniently close to my apartment.

There was nothing good to eat there, atleast nothing good for my lactose intolerance. My bike lock is being annoying, but I deal with it and ride towards the center of campus to check out the food there. Nothing at all remotely appetizing. While I'm at it I decided to take care of some things at the library, parking my bike in front of it. By the time I get back out I'm absolutely STARVING. Wait, my bike won't unlock. It refuses to unlock itself and my bike key literally bent. I'm sweating profusely, and insanely sick. I have a .5 mile hike back to my apartment when I can barely walk. I grab some food at the cafe from before, and trudge back to the apartment. I miss the first Specturm (LGBT club) meeting... I have another key wich worked on the bike. I dragged it up to my apartment on the 5th floor. Luckily I had a spare bike lock, but its bulky and... inconvenient. But atleast its reliable.

That was the worst day during my 2 weeks here.

Best day: Last Wednesday:
I saw Carlos for the first time in months. The guy who I still have a crush on.... He's as friendly as ever. I want to see him again.



Yeah, so thats what's been going on for me. I also have been going to the wrong Health & Wellness class for 2 weeks and nobody's told me. Apparently the one I was supposed to go to was on another day. I dropped the class that was back to back with another one on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I can now have a good lunch.

Thats all. Take care.

Today was the first day of college again... and it was pretty crazy. I had to drop the two classes (out of 3) that I had today and add two in their place. That took most of the morning... just figuring how to add/drop stuff, I mean. I bought some cool posters for my appartment, a Salvador Dali poster (favorite artist~) and a cool "in case of nuclear attack" poster

Anyway, I rode my bike out to do all my errands... and I donno what it is, but I was really sweating... it was SUPER hot out there x.x When I finally got to my destination I didn't know why I was there and probably said some stupid things by not thinking them through ._. I probably made an ass of myself I seriously had to go back to my room 3 times to change shirts. My roommate was still asleep by the time I had to go to my only class of the day that I kept. Got to the classroom early and decided to finish dropping the rest of the classes... no point in doing them later, right?

I ended up late to my only class of the day ._.

I then went to go get all my text books for all my classes... which there were a TON. I ended up paying something like $400 on all of them.... and they BARELY fit in my bike. Luckily, to make everything better, a friend treated me to dinner! I ended up getting chicken, rice, and mashed potatoes (which had bits of cheese on them... CURSE MY LACTOSE INTOLERANCE! *shakes fist* ). But I digress, it was fantastic, and I had a great time with all my friends

I got home, did laundry, and.... just messed around. Nothing to really talk about except that I hate when I get all hot and sweaty, my hair curls up and looks awful :/


But yes, that picture should be done soon... just gotta figure out its content

From the poll that I made I see that people want mostly something cute, and something about an origin of one of my characters. My next poll will be about which character you want

But as of now art is slightly limited and will be limited from probably Monday to Friday or Saturday. In fact they may be completely non-existant, since I'm movin up to Orlando for college this week... so yeah ^_^;

I recently saw the movie District 9 with my dad. It was a wonderful little romp that appeased both of us with Faux Documentary film style and badass alien gunbattles. I sense there's a really deep mythological subtext running throughout this entire movie. In a way it was Xeniotarian (Humanitarian) in nature, but also a deep realism not present in other films. Its as if you could make another movie about this same topic, but make it a prequel (sometime within its 28 year storyline) and it would still be coherent and have the same impact. Overall this movie was a wonderful experience that seemed to... speak so many levels. Its far more realistic than The Fifth Element or Blade Runner... I can't describe it, lol. Go see it ;D

I started packing for school on Saturday, but I'm leaving on Wednesday... mainly because I'm working on Monday and Tuesday, and will probably wont wanna pack

Anyway, when I do start drawing, I will be either drawing a cute origin story or something to make me relax after moving.

...
I can't think of anything else to say, so... adios!

I'm getting all ready for college and I'm ready to go back to see all my friends
I've got most of my supplies and have relieved some of my anxiety for going back...

I also started making my own series about a society living in a post-apocalyptic world. These people live in underground sea caves. I won't say much, but I drew one of my characters, Pepper Tresor.

I thank you all for... well, putting up with me xD

There will be more to come!

In other news I asked in my recent poll how long it took me to do this picture [link] . Most said 2-3 hours, and others said 4,7, and 8 hours. Those who said 7 hours is correct. Thats WAY too long! I should have been able to do this sucker much quicker :/

Oh well. That's it for now, catch you all laters!

First off I have my own portfolio which can be seen here [link] . If there's any specific piece of art that you'd like to see in my portfolio, or any good piece of art that you think I missed, lemme know!

Also I recently bought the Watchmen Director's Cut and was overly pleased with it What was cut made it more coherent to shove into about 4 hours. Its all good.

...
To open my nasal cavities for a lot of non-smelling activities!
Also it has some crazy side effects that I want no part of- Nose bleeds, decreased immunity, and dizziness. No thank you.

Anyway, I got a haircut today, which is just about the only interesting thing that happened to me today. It was to my shoulder, and now its a bit shorter in the back so I look a bit like a Beatle. I look awesome :3
Now my hair doesn't fly around when its really windy, and... yeah, I'm pleased with it. Its a bit shorter than I would have liked, but whatcha gonna do


In other news, Bioshock is... well its not as immersive as, say Call of Duty 4.

I ran out of lactose intolerant pills, and I will make the Fallout 3 illustration picture of "Katie looking at the sun rising over the wasteland" possibly tomorrow

]]> ~Canti128 http://Canti128.deviantart.com/journal/25986312/ http://Canti128.deviantart.com/journal/25986312/ Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:31:04 PDT
I'm not sure if I'm squeamish about needles or not, but I'll find out

Anyway, she also gave me some nasal spray thats supposed to work with allergies. She figures that it couldn't hurt... so if it works I'll let the doctor know.



.... my nose burns a little.

Hello everyone. Quick update for now before I go lay down for a bit.
As you all know, I have lactose intolerance... which is what is bothering me right now. I feel nauseous and sick to my stomach. light headed and dizzy. All for a shitty meatball sub that tasted like rubber cheese and grease. Nasty. 3 hours after eating im just starting to feel bad. I'm going to go lay down.

But I just wanted to tell you all about my inability to smell. If I haven't told any of you about this I apologize, it will be all told soon enough... possibly in my next entry. Anyway, I found out what it is- Anosmia [link] . And I joined a facebook group all about that. There's supposedly 2-5 million Americans who cannot smell, I being one of them. Theres a support group and technology for this. There's permanent and temporary Anosmia (A-NOSE-MIA). Those with temporary (I am told) is a precurser to tumors, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Temp loss also causes depression in some cases.

Unfortunately I have the permanent kind where "Often people who have congenital anosmia report that they pretended to be able to smell as children because they thought that smelling was something that older/mature people could do, or did not understand the concept of smelling but did not want to appear different from others. When children get older, they often realize and report to their parents that they do not actually possess a sense of smell, often, to the surprise of their parents."

I have a physical tomorrow, and I'll ask about it more in detail to a doctor... but for now I'm going to take a little nap.

I was making a gender bended picture of the allies from Axis Powers: Hetalia, which would have America, China, Russia, and UK. America would have been boasting "I'll be the hero" while her cape flaps in the wind. The others would be sitting at a table in the background unamused. It was a good picture, and I was amused with its silliness...

But then Gimp (the program I use) decided its going to stop working. STOP WORKING. It then closed down, without saving my work. 2 hours. gooone.

HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAahaaa

I had planned to make a second picture for KyotoFoxfire's 20th birthday since I thought that the 'Sven' picture wasn't quite up to my caliber of usual work (even though it is probably just fine). She likes America, and instead of messing up a male America and just copying a scene directly from the anime, I thought I'd do something original...

I... uggh.

I'm seriously annoyed.
Stupid program.

Oh, also my mother is going to have a surgery on monday. She's having 2, actually, but both at the same time. She's having some hernias removed... I guess thats also sinking in...

- I am in a relationship
- I am no longer afraid of dogs
- I have a pet mouse
- I get along well with my mother
- I am no longer lactose intolerant
- I am now well recognized as an artist

But then I'd be sarcastic, and its not april fools

Anyway, whats actually going on with me
I got a little gardening work done this week with my Gardner friend who lets me help him out for a certain price. Its a job This is the same guy whose house I'm looking after in a few weeks.

Got a really cool Sand Stormtrooper Star Wars action figure... I've never seen one like it! I got it and it comes with an amazing amount of articulation and it comes with a little cache of weapons just for itself! Its sooooooo cool!

I started watching Axis Powers: Hetalia, a cute little show that personifies countries as people living lives and making friendships... and having war. While this show could have had some insane political topics (since it does cover WWI and WWII) , it didn't, and I am delightfully pleased It follows Italy and his adventures along with the other personified countries who portray some history and qwerks of each country (like how germans eat potatoes differs from the way french eat potatoes). Whenever something got too serious, something silly would pop up, like Ancient Rome (Grandpa Rome) who sings or other stuff. Its really interesting!

By far my favorite character is UK... he hasn't gotten an official name like a first and a last name like some of the characters, so he's just referred to as UK, but still... he's a lot like me After being disappointed by the people on DA's lack of ability to gender bend UK by himself... so I did that xD


hmm... there's nothing else going on ^_^

I'm taking care of a friend's dogs while he's away on vacation for a few days. I'm a little afraid of dogs, but these two Chow dogs... Freckles and Bear are the most well behaved dogs I've ever saw! I havent heard them bark at all and they're so happy to see me! There are a few times where they freak me out a bit... like when they look at me directly or when they make sudden movements. Otherwise they're awesome

I also took a look in a petstore that sells various rodents and fish. I was looking around and found some ADORABLE mice There were a whole bunch just sleeping in a pile and some others grooming themselves... they just all looked so sweet. There was one with a blotch on its back which I really liked (very distinguished) and some really cute golden ones. I swear when I get my own place I'm going to get one

No other news

... eh, thats only about half true.

Anyway, I'm proud to say that I made my first non-family paycheck, from my good gardener friend Kurt, who employed me for $12 an hour. I only work 2 days a week and no more than 5 hours per day, so its not bad. I'm learning a buncha stuff :3

Recently bought COD4, and was blown away by it. I also read Watchmen, which was absolutely fan fuckin tastic. I'm sure there are hyphens in that... oh well.

I drew a bit tonight to take my mind off things, primarilly getting the house whipped into shape by the time my parents are back on sunday. Shouldn't be too hard.

Also, the song "My sex is on fia" has been stuck in my head all day. I'm not sure why.

I woke up at noon today... I didn't want to sleep late since I had to feed the cats... Also there were household chores and stuff to do too.

Anyway. I went to the store to buy 3 month Xbox Live card and 1600 Xbox Live points to get some new multiplayer maps for CoD4... but when I tried to get online, Xbox Live is down for maintenance... xD

But, in light of all this I did find some funny things from stumbling

So, I've been doing all kind of Odd Jobs for my parents and their friends, primarily house-sitting, but later this week I will also help a landscaper. Hopefully I'll get a lunch out of it ;D

In other news I haven't been drawing at all, but instead I've been playing several games...
It started out with-

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which I stopped playing because I couldn't figure out how to fast travel.

Then Fable 2- it was better than Oblivion for a little while, then it started sucking. The Karma system fails.

Then Red Faction: Guerrilla- I love the building destruction, but allied AI's swarm around me (even in vehicles) which is what I like to call the Gordon Freeman effect.

Then Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. My first shooter in ages... I'm enjoying it thoroughly now, and I beat the storyline in a day :3


I also got my Doctor Who series 2 DVD box set all the way from *drumroll* The Netherlands... for some reason xD
I watched all the episodes, but the season finale disk was scratched! x.x
So the replacement just came back after getting the box set over a week ago... so yay



But other than that nothing has been going on here. Just wanted to say its kind of hard to draw when I'm preoccupied at making dinner and taking care of the house.

Oh, thats the other thing.
When my parents were here, I'm a good cook. But when they left, not so much. They froze a ton of chicken and meat for me to cook over 2 weeks... my first dish was my favorite- Tariaki Chicken. The chicken was still frozen and didn't taste right, and the vegies were not cooked at all -_-
Tonight I was going to make shake-N'-Bake... but frozen chicken again. And it was thawing for 6 hours! So I had ramen instead :3

Thats all for now... take care!

First of all I want to thank all my supporters and watchers who have helped me 'blossom' into the artist than I am today. Seriously- you guys are awesome

My most viewed picture is Link With Boobs picture with 18,000+ views, and coming at second was A Grave Miss-understanding (a picture I requested from Pip before he had his own DA but would do art trades for people) at somewhere around 7,000 views.

My most recent pictures, Mythic Zoo for You and A Day at the Pool were popular too, well on their way to the top! Those pictures were thanks to TGcollector, who has a brilliant mind for that sort of things

Anyway, its summertime in my 2nd year of being on DA and I didn't think I'd ever really make it past a few thousand... Its all really thanks to you all


...
What else to say...

...Well, I think all and all I've grown as an artist in my art style... I didn't really notice it changed over time. I like where I am now in the way of my style, but of course there's plenty of room to grow! So expect to see much more from your old pal Canti128 in the near future, and be sure to see some of my pictures- experimental or otherwise (this involves my photo manipulations as of late) ^_^

Oh... and my photos! There will be more of those once I travel a bit more xD

Kay, thats it!
Take care eh?
Peace!

More hand injuries, this time slightly less intense than my cut on my palm. This time I worked HARD painting some outside walls of my home, and... yeah... so my hands got tender, but I went to go get lunch and the steering wheel (Oh god whyyy?!) felt like it had just been smothered after being on fire for several hours, and then melted by lava. Oh god it hurt... I had to drive though, and it was a very painful drive.


... my point being, I hurt my drawing hand (Blisters?)... so no projects in the near future, but I will take commissions to do later



... ow...

Me and TGcollector have been talking, and have decided to do another comic together. I can't say any more about it except I'm working on it now... and it has a pool. Hehe.

Well, in other news I'm a bit delirious after waking up at 7 am again due to an internal clock fuck up, and mowing the lawn at 9 am... my hands are numb too

... I haven't been sleeping well.



aaaanyway, a new comic is coming. Oh, and the Happy Pills comic? Forget about it. I'll work on it when I wanna. xD

But other than all that, nothing else is going on here. Sorta wish that some people would actually comment on my journals, but then again what are you going to say? "Good job Canti ^_^"? ... actually, yeah, that'd work. Hopefully by this time next week I won't have a job... and my mom will stop bothering me about getting one.

Oh, and I make everything I have into a print in the off chance that someone actually likes it enough to buy it, lol ^_^;
Sorry if that was getting annoying to anyone.

Goodnight Chicago!

(I am NOT in Chicago btw)


P.S. My hand is almost all the way healed, and i'll have a scar.... yay

I'm done with my finals, but im leaving on Monday because the doctor will check out my hand on Sunday. Its my right hand. the wound extends about a half an inch below my pinky towards the middle of my palm about 2-2 1/2 inches, so that its about an inch below my middle finger.

I reapplied the bandages today after my shower with a plastic bag. Fuck that hurt. Had to carry my art project back to my room one-handed, and i got a free lunch. Im just really tired...

But yeah.

I've been working on a paper about the Weather Underground Organization and how, by todays standards they pale in comparison to recent terrorism. Its an interesting paper, I've been literally working on it for about 3 weeks on and off, and its very nice No procrastination here!

Uhhh... oh! I've also completely realized that I'm lactose intolerant. There's no real way to get around this. Even though I sorta knew for years, I just now made the connection... and that reeeally sucks x.x
Yeah, I'm never willingly touching cheese again. Especially cheese cake.

Recently, thanks to KyotoFoxfire, Lauren, I now know what my hair looks like straightened!
Normally my hair is wavy and poofy... very uncontrollable -_-. Whenever the wind blows I can hardly see (I may get it trimmed)... but Lauren straightened my hair and I absolutely love it that way So I'm going to use the $130 I made from returning my books to getting me a decent hair straightener, lol.

Oh, and I got an off-but-still-on-campus apartment to live in next year with (as of now) 2 other people. We have a kitchen and a giant... well, apartment. Its really cool. It was a little bit of a hassle getting it, but I should be able to save some money by living there

Along with a few friends, I've been involved in the making of a movie called threshold. Its a dream within a dream within a dream, and which one is reality? All and all it was a great production and I cant wait to see its commentary

Gawd, I cant believe freshman year is almost over... and I'll be 20 next school year...

Since I was down here I found out that my two entries to the Black Mesa Source contest "Make textured posters for black mesa" [link] and [link] (now available as prints) made it to the finals! [link] I'm so proud!

Also, I got the number of a really cute and nice girl who was making cookies until 3am when I thought I had stepped on glass... She kept me company while I kept her some too Found out her name is Lyndsey... I would have felt awkward in asking, so I let it come up naturally. If it doesn't work out, she'll still be a good friend.

What an awkward week so far

As an update, my therapist has advised me to keep a journal with me and write down feelings that I'm having, what time I have them, and whats happening when I have them. It seems to be working alright.

The reason for this is (As I'll say as vaguely as possible) because I said that I don't think I've been able to properly express happy emotions. With a family history of depression and the fact that two of my senses (Smell and taste) are pretty much shot, she's had me keep this journal which points out a rather depressing overlook of my week. Very few happy things, and very few prolonged happy things. uggh.

Atleast its getting me to think about what I'm feeling.

Thats pretty much all thats been going on with me in the last few days. I did read some interesting romantic fan fics recently... but became a little angry at the fact that literature is unnoticed on DA, while anything with Boobs attached attract attention like crazy... Perhaps this is why Link With Boobs is my most popular deviation -_-

Basically I got into one of my deep depressions, and then was forced deeper by what a "friend" told me. It was... pretty bad. I'm not going to lie... I just never want to be that depressed again. It scared me.

Other than that everything has been fine (lol), and I've started to see my therapist again, so hopefully things will be better

Now that my hair has grown out... I actually realize that I have rather wavy hair, instead of straight hair. I'm a bit happy about that actually

Other than that the week has been awful.

It's 1.75 right now. Fuck.

Ok, Ok. I have been taking 5 classes- Ballroom Dance, Ethics, Topic: Religion and Terrorism, Sculpture 1, and Social Psychology. I dropped Ethics because it would have fucked over my GPA, but I failed my first Social Psychology test and got a C on my first Religion and Terrorism paper. I blame these failures on lack of studying....

If I keep fucking up... I won't be going to Rollins by next year, and I'll loose all my friends that I've made thus far. Well, I won't loose them, I just won't see them ever.


Put it simply, I'm under a lot of pressure.

On top of that, my parents aren't agreeing on my major. I'm a Psychology major right now, but I'm thinking about becoming a Religion (Theology) major. "What job can you do with that?" Asks my father. Major isn't directly related to a job. Yet he cannot be convinced. I don't like psychology anymore, and I like Religion a bit more...

Alright, back when I had my insane furious ravings, I had recently got my Season 1 DVD for my absolute favorite show/season of Doctor Who, straight from the BBC. Straight from England. However nobody told me that you had to have a region less DVD player to play it... so I instantly went from absolute glee (from receiving the box, and admiring it all through lunch), the happiest I've EVER felt, to an absolute bawling rage. That is what that journal was about, more specifically this [link] one.

After that I hung out with some friends that evening. One of my good friends, and one of her friends... which still made me very happy. Before that, I was reaching my "Zombie" mode where I tune out everything, become emotionless for a while, extremely tired, and have the urge to do meaningless tasks just for something to do. I'm deeply saddened in my "Zombie" mode. That was this journal [link] .

Anyway, I hung around with friends, and then a whole bunch of friends of mine came over and hung around with us... one of the girls wanted to ask a guy out, but she was to nervous... and the other kids basically kept urging her to go for it but she wouldn't go. It reminded me and what I've done to relationships... I've just been too shy to ask anyone out. That inspired this journal [link] in which i vaguely mention a guy that I like, and that I will attempt to ask out the next day.

Just so you know, this guy I like was in one of my advisory classes in college... We sat next to each other, exchange notes, and generally have fun. I had the idea that he liked me, and I got close to telling him that I liked him too, but nothing really happened.

So I woke up the next day and realized that I wouldn't be able to catch him at his job in order to tell him... So I took out my cell phone and texted him. I told him that I liked him, that I just wanted to get that off my chest, and that we could still be friends. He replied sometime later saying that its no problem, and that we were still friends. Then came along this journal [link] I was a little crushed, but the resolve to this semester-long longing made me pursue other intrests, and as of now I'm attempting to see if there's any girls out there who like me....

In other words, I dont think I'm afraid of rejection now, which has crushed me numerous times previously. I won't go into detail, but I'll say that I'm happy

Also, Spring break! I'm going home tomorrow, woo!

Currently I'm making a stippling picture of my Macbeth framed picture, and It'll take a while, but It will be very worth it

Thats all really for now, so adios!

I went to dinner not expecting to have an enjoyable conclusion to my day, but I had an enjoyable conversation with one of my good friends and her friends which were also my friends. It was fun. And, to be vague, we mostly talked about guys.
I'm happy about that.

Hopefully I'll work up the courage to ask... him out.

While I'm tempted to go down the list and point out all the sucky things in my life at the moment, that would do more harm than anything.

In response to the last journal... I donno. There's nothing for me to say right now except say that I feel empty.

Doctor Who
Mandalorians
Gurren Lagann
Robots
Battlefield 2142 or bad company
Half Life
Samurais
Zombie movies
Yoai or somesuch
etc,

I will push over small children in order to be with or obtain any of the following list, and when I am with it by god I am happy. I am the happiest I've been my entire life. And... normally I'm not happy at all. so anything is an added bonus- just that these are moreso.

Now then, I just got my Doctor Who Season 1 DVD box set straight from England. I was so happy, I couldn't wait to pop in the dvd and enjoy being taken on an adventure with the good Doctor.... That is until I had a first hand lesson on regional DVD's.

WHAT

THE

BLOODY

FUCK?!

Listen, BBC and every other movie agency, network, and broadcaster. If i BUY your DVD, that means I want to WATCH the DVD. If I buy a DVD in Japan, I should be able to play it back in the states. If I were to buy something in Germany, I should be able to play it on the goddamned moon if i fucking wanted to. WHAT DO YOU POSSIBLY OBTAIN BY DENYING ME MY DOCTOR?!

Why... WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ALLOW DVD SALES TO AMERICA IF THIS SORT OF THING HAPPENS?! GIVE ME A DAMNED WARNING! "CAUTION: THIS PRODUCT MAY NOT FUCKING WORK DUE TO SOME STUPID INTERNATIONAL BULLSHIT" or "WARNING: BUYING THIS PRODUCT GIVES THE SELLERS THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT SHIT TO PLAY THIS DVD".

Ok, ok, I knew about DVD regions. But I seriously thought that ENGLAND and THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA would have the same DVD region. But apparently not.

So let me just sit here and be sad and angry for the rest of the day. Or someone can suggest something. I don't care.

While being driven to the convention center, we were cut off in traffic by a guy in a Solid Snake cosplay. We all rolled down our windows and shouted "SNAAAAAAAKE!" after him.

There were a bunch of nerds and guys in cosplay fighting with foam swords. Nothing to really say about this except that usually people who are in ninja cosplay, such as those in naruto cosplay, are generally worse at sword fighting than those in samurai cosplay.

OMG. Some guy cosplaying as a Lego Boba Fett. I love the Mandalorians... And Boba Fett is my favorite next to Jodo Kast... hehe. There was a massive lego area of the convention area.

Didn't get to meet anyone who was the FMA voicecast... so I didn't have anything signed like I had planned... unfortunately. But I have friends going back to have those things signed today.

I wish I wish I wish I had gotten a picture of the group cosplaying as Boba and Jango Fett... uggh

At Lunch (rather, at 2) I ran into some Vault Dwellers. We posed for pictures with Nuka Colas and Pipboy's. They asked where my pipboy was, and I sowed them my Ipod touch.
Supposedly a group of raiders were supposed to show up to the con, but they never did. There were basically 4 other Vault Dwellers besides myself, 1 as a Vault 13, and 3 as Vault 101. I got a buncha compliments for my cosplay.

After the Con, we went to TGI Fridays. Everyone was in theyre street close except for me. I didn't care. I even went to an after party Rave in the convention center in costume and character.

Also, this stuff happened:

I've made a few prints already, they can be found here [link] . If you guys want any others, lemme know.

Also, I'm going to my first convention tomorrow- Megacon! I'll be cosplaying a guy from fallout 3, so expect pictures!

While I don't know if they (or you guys) will accept the print and buy any, the idea of getting my art out there is certainly an interesting idea

So, here's my question:
What pictures or drawings would you like to see as prints?

But that doesn't mean I should neglect my fans. Thank you all my Watchers, Favoriters, Viewers, and you random people who pop on!

Without you I wouldn't be as enthusiastic (ha pun!) as I am with my art! I could go write on all of your pages, but I thought this would be a bit more personal and a bit longer standing.

Thank you all!

If you haven't found out, I have had a birthday since the last time I uploaded a new journal- It was on December 9th. I'm 19 now. As for gifts I didn't get anything except clothes and cologne (I hate getting clothes and I cant smell) from my grandparents, and a video camera from my parents

I'm in college (don't know if i mentioned that yet <.<, and I'm having a really good time. Started my second semester and I have no classes on friday. There's this guy that I like and whom I'm unsure is gay or not... he makes me feel really special xD I'll attempt to ask him out soon :3

hmm... other than that nothing else has been up besides the fact that I've been playing Fallout 3, playing second life, and watching anime inbetween classes ^_^;

also its been so long since i've done a journal that the format friggin changed on me! xD

Gurren Lagann is simply amazing, I finished all the episodes ages ago, and we're now watching it in my anime club :3

I met a girl and i have started to hang out with her friends, and i feel needed rather than isolated like before. its a good feeling indeed

Also, today i went to a gay pride rally in orlando It was lotsa fun and i have tons of memories- Also i have lots of rainbow stuffs :3
I did dodge several tv cameras that were there, guarding my face with a poster in the off chance that my parents were watching >.> <.<

I started watching this series on youtube's laughable low quality and video length. But I pressed on and watched at least 6 episodes (each split into 3 videos)... and then I went to my anime club meeting and was litterally dumbfounded by the sight of HD Lagann.

Be still my heart.

So i bought the DvD's, and they shall be arriving today to my pleasure!

*manic laughter*


(Lagann as well as FLCL and others are produced by Gainax)

Also, I'm going to a school therapist about my loneliness issues. Yay!

She's a redhead like her mother... and yeah. I have a few redhead references so i could make some pictures of her but...

... what should i draw her doing?

Give me a message and tell me what (please nothing sexual however buying a cart full of panties is fine )!


Also... college in 2 days

Woo!

Recently i've purchased Battlefield Bad Company, and i'm playing the hell outta the multiplayer. I've also obtained the Rambo Trilogy, and i've been watching that. Also Metallica. yes...

*ahem*

I've begun thinking about The Enthusiast Comic 16, as for all the dialogue and whatnot. so far i decided that it'll be light on the storyline and a little lighthearted... but that could get kicked in the head as i head off to college.

ooooh thats right- I head off to college August 19th... wish meh luck

*note to self*
Watch Animal House

As for my vacation out west (Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Idaho, and Nevada), lets just say it was a test in patience and tolerance to a very annoying bitch who wanted to drive us around- not actually see the sites- but to view the rear end of a buffalo sever dozen meters up the side of a very brown hill. I'd rather not talk about it much more than that.

Anyway, the latest 2 enthusiast comics (14 and 15) are now up and cooking, I do apologize for the lack of "COMPUTER-TABLET-ACTION" on those two, however my wacom tablet has been a bit emo lately and refuses to do much of anything. I am currently in the process of finding a disk/ ordering a replacement disk from Wacom to solve the tablets emo-ness.

I recently got a brand new Gateway computer, which specs are as follows:
Manufacturer: Gateway
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz (2 CPUs), ~1.8GHz
Memory: 4086MB RAM
Hard Drive: 304 GB
Video Card: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family
Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor
Sound Card: Speakers / Headphones (SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC)
Keyboard: USB Root Hub
Mouse: USB Root Hub
Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Premium (6.0, Build 6001) Service Pack 1 (6001.longhorn_rtm.080118-1840)

Its a beast.

Also, I've been a very recent fan to Clint Eastwood's Western flicks, specifically enjoying: Fistfull of dollars, For a few dollars more (a movie poster is in my dorm), the good the bad and the ugly (i frigging loved the cinematography styles), and Joe Kidd. I have more coming on my list, however i absolutely hated Hang Em High...

I really need to rent some Rambo flicks too...

Just started my first manga Japanes comic book the other day: Welcome to the NHK, a very awesome story featuring a 22 year old male outcast (i think he hates to leave his home?) and a very young girl who likes him. Personally, the guy reminds me of myself, and the girl reminds me of nearly all the girls i've liked over the years, and the guy's seemingly perplexity with this entire situation is somewhat reminiscent of what would likely happen to me if someone started loving me like that.

Thats all for Canti News this week, tune in next week, same canti time, same canti place.

First of all, I realize that there was a 'contest' I started a while ago but never finished. This was partly due to my lazyness and forgetfulness, but all that is sort of overpowered by the fact that everything i did for it (I.E. deleted Enthusiast scenes and artwork) were erased from my computer when it crahsed a month ago due to Malware. Conveniently enough, im scoring a fresh new computer instead of this revived soul of a computer... bout time.

With that said, since i have plenty of free time in the evenings now, I shall begin to draw up Enthusiast Comics 15 and 16. Right now i have the script all ready to go, all thats really needed is my input on interesting camera angles and facial expressions (that and coloring- people like colors). Over all, the little engine that could, also known as the enthusiast is finally coming along up the hill chanting something about complexity.

other than all this, there really isnt anything else i could say at this point except that I dumped my boyfriend and really im alright with it and so is he. Thank god, no offense to anyone, that guys are just emotionally oblivious like that. Dump someone and go off to have a beer- they'll forget about it eventually. It just happened alot sooner than the other girlfriends i have (one, oddly enough, is still pissed at me).

Anywho, I'd better wrap this up, im going to be heading to Wyoming sometime within the next century (so long as people can wake up around here...)...

Till next time-
Adios

P.S. I'd like to point out that I cannot upload any pictures to DA at the moment (perhaps its the connection here- I'll try somewhere else later), which is a shame because i have some cool monochrome pictures i'd like to show you all. I'll tweak with it in a bit.

Alright, im not hating on Utah at all. After all, you cant judge a state by one town (Although i did for Kansas and Louisiana... but then again i never left those airports). I'm here for vacation. Im not visiting family or significant others. As of now, the plan for me and my family is to head up Utah and end up in Yellowstone in Wyoming, and then back down through Idaho (POTATO!) before ending up in Salt Lake again in two weeks. All good.

Ran into a little annoying 6 year old on the plane who seemed fit to do the exact opposite of what her mother would say not to do "Dont press that button" "I said not to-" "Dont do it again or i'll-" The mother (Whom I'm told raised 9 other children of varying ages- although I doubt it) didnt back her words up at all. Granted, its a crowded airplane and the girl would have been liable to scream, but still... a little respect never killed anyone (then again it did kill Rodney Dangerfield). I dont know, i suppose i was raised differently.

One more thing, the mother seemed to give the girl far too many choices when choosing something, and then gave to complex of a responce to her questions
"Mommy, why did it get bumpy in the air?"
(Mother's response, or similar) "...The updraft caused by the upwind from the seirra valley is causing a mild loss of altitude as we enter the upper stratosphere!" (Or, as my father would have explained "We hit an air bubble" and i would go on with my life)


Anywho, its all fun here... cant wait to go somewhere and do something. Once i take some pictures, i'll be sure to post some that are worthwhile.
