Hey guys!

turns out staying with my relatives when I move up north is non-viable at this point in time. The commute would take far too long, and I'd be spending more than $20 a day just to get to my work and back, and I just can't do that.

I really need to raise money somehow so that I can afford to get a room. I am dead fucking broke and I don't know what to do.

If you guys can help me out, if it's donating, giving me advice, or if you know someone in the Oakland area, or whatever, that'd be really helpful.

Helpful tumblr ghost gon-dan-jie-yi has convinced me that it would be better to focus on raising money for a desktop computer than to keep maintaining an old laptop.

Man. That is my philosophy you know. It's my attempts to grind negative feelings and negative experiences from bullies and bad relationships into ambition. But then, I always wonder if that's a healthy thing.

There will always be people saying that it's better to just ignore it, and if that works for them, good on them. I think it's good that I have some form of motivation behind my ambition.

Anyone who's looked on my front page too long knows that it's my webcam on this site! I had sort of mixed feelings about seeing it there. Because, first off, I didn't draw that cartoon.

SO, I just wanted opinions from you lot over what specific art pieces in this gallery and my other one that you think might be good to put in my portfolio. I am a really bad judge over these things, because I don't particularly greatly like a lot of things that I produce (something that my painting teacher berated me for), and I'm pretty unsure about putting art together like this.

Basically I suck.

My mom spoke about me and my friendships today, and I spoke with friends about my past friendships as well. I don't know what it is about me or why it happens, but I tend to make very good friends, obscenely good friends with people, which then somehow ends up falling into the pits of a severe break up. It's strange, falling out, you know--it's almost like losing a girlfriend or a boyfriend that you had planned and promised to marry and stay faithful to for the rest of your life.

I'm sure everyone has been asked that hypothetical question at parties or while chatting with friends when the conversation has hit a desperate amount of lull:

"If you were stuck on a deserted island, what one thing would you want to have with you?"

Well, I always hated when they add that "one" bit in there, because that's severely limiting, and for someone like me, it'd probably be a sketchbook and a pencil, if I had the choice of two things. Maybe a sketchbook with a pencil tucked into it,  but I'm not sure if that's a rule breaker or not.
