I don't even know how to express my gratitude to the one who got me a sub. I don't know if anyone can see who it was donated by, or if she'd like to be revealed or not, but thank you so so so much! I really appreciate it. The last few days life has been eh and rather stressful, and this made it a whole lot better.

I shall have to make some kind of thank you manip or something

This was a great surprise to come home to after a long day at work. I ares tired.

Anyways, my energy is now gone. Running on 3 hours of sleep and excitement is hard work, dammit. xD

Ehhhh, I was gonna put something else here but then I totally forgotted.

He just went home after being here for nine days. I miss him so much :C He is the best anyone could ask for and I really really miss him. I'm planning on going down to see him in March, so it's only a few months away. It'll be a lot shorter than our recent 6 month wait. Ugh, it was awful. But we had a good time, and went out to dinner and went out on dates.

We also saw James Cameron's Avatar. It was epiccccc to say the least. I loved the CG and all of the effects on it. The fact that it was 3-D also scored points with me because I love things in 3-D (like G-Force, which I just bought :3). Shrek is coming out in 3-D this May I believe, and so is Toy Story. Eeee, I love movies :3

Hrmmm...not much going on now, I suppose. Have to work tonight, 4-10 which is going to suckkkkkk. Who the hell comes into OfficeMax at 10 PM? Ridiculousss I tell you. I don't want to be there at 10 and I'm sure no sane self-respecting person would either. But ah well.

So, Christmas is in 4 days. Anyone have any plans? I don't have many, just spending time with my family and missing my boy :C I know, I'm such a sap. I just feel like one of those horribly written emo poems with atrocious grammar and spelling. Ugh. Ah well, can't be helped I suppose.

Mmk, update finished. Going back to cuddling with my piggies :3
Ele over and out.

I'm sure most of you have been wondering where I have been for the last few weeks or so.

The answer is we have two new additions to our family. Harley and Pepe le Peu are our new guinea pigs. Harley was abused and we adopted her from our neighbors. The conditions they kept her in were so disgusting that just thinking about it makes me angry. They kept her in a WASHTUB. It wasn't a proper cage, but a washtub with a hole cut into the side for a water bottle. They bought her but didn't bother to buy the necessities for taking care of her. Her bedding was shredded newspaper that hadn't been cleaned in at least a few weeks. It was so soiled and stuck to the bottom that I had to scrape it out with a hand shovel.

Not to mention it smelled so bad that my eyes were watering just standing beside it. I can't imagine what living in it was like.

She so scared of people it's heartbreaking. She has certainly gotten better in the last week we've had her. However, that doesn't change how frightened she is. She doesn't squeak when I pick her up, she screams. She acts like I'm going to hurt her just by putting my finger gently on her head. My brother claims that they kept her in a dark closet and chased her to make her run into the sides of the washtub. I think they must have hurt her by pulling her ears too because she hates her ears being touched.

How is this any way to keep an animal? I saw the family this morning and I couldn't help but grit my teeth and just glower at them. If I could I would tell them all off, scold them for the way they kept her. Nothing deserves to live in a place like that.

Those people should be kept in similar conditions until they understand what they did to her. I'm tearing up now with anger and hatred just thinking of what they did to that poor little pig.

But now she's in a better place, a place that loves her. She loves me I think, as I'm the only one she'll sit still for. She'll snuggle right up to me and close her eyes as she squeaks softly. I think she realizes that things are going to change for her. No more stinky cages and no more abuse. Just love and food...lord knows she's already gained a little weight from us feeding her.

And she loves Pepe, our other new little pig. We bought her just for Harley, a little companion in hopes that Harley would warm up to her new home. So far it has worked and they love each other. Hopefully this will be a new page in Harley's life that changes how she looks at everything. Nobody, animals or humans, should have to suffer through abuse and expect to accept it as a way of life. I know one thing for certain - Harley will never be at risk for that again.


If you are planning to buy an animal, go to your nearby shelter and see if there is a pet that will be a wonderful addition to your home. Every day so many animals are dropped off at shelters, and as the number in those shelters grow, the probability of them finding a home goes down. Adopt an older pet as well! The puppies and kittens always get adopted first, leaving the older animals will little hope.

And always research the animal before you buy one. Before I bought my guinea pigs I did extensive research to make sure they would be comfortable and happy with me. Love isn't the only thing they need. Love doesn't feed them, water them, or clean them. We do. Our actions do.

For those who love and take care of their animals, I praise you and cheer you on. For those who see their pets as a glorified one time deal, then owning one isn't for you. Find a home where it'll be happy and cared for. Animals aren't a fantasy story, and they aren't going to be instantly loving and begging at your feet. They are a responsibility, and need to be treated as such.



This is for the abused and the rescued, and for my pigs who will never know that kind of place.

As some of you will see, I have set up a photo shoot of sorts with my pigs. I'll group them all into a file in my gallery, but they're scattered in there too. Any tips on photography regarding those images is greatly appreciated :3 They're so cute, I love my pigs. Haha.

Anyways, I've been out a few days too. My wrist was sprained at work, but it's feeling much better now that I've given it a chance to rest.

I'm also thinking about doing some manips here soon as well. I need to practice my manes and tails, so that's what I'm going to be focusing on mostly. If anyone has any tips on those, give me a heads up in some sort or fashion. I would really appreciate it!

Ah, I think all of my updates are done. I'm still offering prints on my photography and stock photography if anyone is interested in a print. They're not professional quality, but I do the best that I can. :3

Many of those who know me IRL know that I am a conservative person, but not in the sense of political views. I keep my feelings to myself unless I strongly protest, even though in some situations I do keep it to myself, such as at work. It makes it difficult in my relationships with my friends, my family, and my boyfriend.

But I can't take it anymore. I'm so sick of everything. I know my boyfriend is going to see this and I want him to. I've been hurting so much recently that it's unbearable. I'm on a fucking anxiety medication because I can't handle it.

I'm so tired of being lumped together with other women, or compared. So and so this, so and so that. I'm not his friends, I'm not the other girls that he knows. I'm me, I'm fucking ME. I'm not going to hurt him, or cheat on him, or do anything that would damage our relationship, but that seems to have been lost in a world of insecurities and uncertainty. I too am insecure when it comes to myself, the way I act, the way I look, everything.

It doesn't seem that way, I know, online, because I throw myself into everything and am the optimist that everyone looks to when they need a good rant. But now it's my turn.

He jokes all of the time, "oh, is that what you say to all your boyfriends?" and other variations. It makes me wonder, do I act like a slut or a whore? What have I done to warrant such jokes?

For the past week, I've cried myself to sleep everything because I wonder if I'm doing anything right. I wonder sometimes if he's found someone else, someone who is better than me. I feel so goddamn jealous when he talks about his gal friends, because I want to be the one who he hangs out with and goes to Ihop with at midnight. But I can't be, because I'm fucking 2300 miles away.

There are days when I stare at myself in the mirror and wonder what he sees when he looks at me. I see nothing more than me, not a pretty girl, not a confident and strong girl, not anything. I see a me who needs to improve on everything. I feel like I'll never be good enough, and it's gotten to the point where I look at others and compare myself because I don't know what else to do.

Sometimes I just sit there and wonder if he talks about them because he wants me to be that way. So and so this, so and so that, oh so and so does it this way. I don't fucking care. What do you want from me? I feel like I'm trapped in a glass box and I can't get out, can't attract anyone's attention even by banging on the walls. Do you want me to change? Is that what it is?

Am I not pretty enough? Am I not talkative enough? WHAT FUCKING IS IT?

Why can't I please, why can't I just make everything right? I can't even stop myself from crying as I write, feeling my throat close up because I'm trying to hold it all back. I've always been a support for other people, and now I'm in desperate need of one.

It's thanks to ~AndaluBee ~Art-of-Hails ~Dark--Magic and many others that I've managed to stay so fucking sane. They've been there to listen to me when I don't know who else to talk to. They're like my angels. They don't judge me, something I'm tired of having put up against me.

I'm out of gas, I don't know what else to do. I can't run away anymore, because there's nowhere to run. There's no other way for me to escape. I can't go riding anymore, and art seems like a chore. I'm collapsing in on myself.


So with that my rant is over, and I leave you to either pity party with me or turn your nose up in disgust. I don't care either way.

This morning he was throwing a fit being in a pissy mood because my mother fucking coddles him all of the time. She treats him like a little prince and when he doesn't get his way he throws a tantrum (he's 15 by the way). I was trying to eat my breakfast when he came stomping out throwing shit around and banging cupboards. I pretty much told him to stop and he began to cuss me out, telling me to shut up.

And so who gets in trouble? Me. That's right.

I got in trouble for telling him to stop.

But he didn't get one lick for calling me a bitch, a whore, and all this other shit because she "didn't hear it". WAY TO FUCKING GO MOM. WAY TO FUCKING GO.

Then he proceeded to rant and complain to my mom how much I treat him like shit and what not. That's right, I treat him like shit. I went out of my way to pick him up from the YMCA TWICE. Once on my way home from a six hour shift at work. THAT'S RIGHT GUYS, I TREAT HIM LIKE UTTER SHIT.

I could have made his ass walk home in the dark. But I'm such a shitty sister I went to pick him up.

Fucking hell, I hate him. I hate him with every fiber of my being, and when I get out of here I'm not going to look back. Some relationships just aren't meant to be, and the one I have with my brother is not. Something is wrong with him, and no one seems to notice. He threw a fit over 200$ bike parts until he got them. He threw a fit over getting a Super Nintendo until he got it. He threw a fit over a Spongebob board game until he got it.

What the hell.

I'm so glad I didn't turn out like that. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

And what hurts is the fact that he said he can't wait until I leave, because then he doesn't have to deal with me.

Whatever.

I don't have to do shit for him, and I'm not going to. He can get a driver's license and drive himself down to the Y. I'm not putting up with him anymore.

Sorry, I needed to rant. I'm sure there's other people out there who understand what this is like. Power to us.

In other news, I got a lot of things I have to do. Photomanips to make, stock to upload, posts to reply to, and I feel like throwing up all over my computer e.e I don't know why, but sudden nausea just set in and laying down hasn't helped. Merrh. I wonder if it was that kettle corn I was snacking on...probably. Ugh, thinking about it doesn't help D:

Well...don't know what else to update with. Hopefully going to see G-Force soon. Looks like such a cute movie, and reminds me of my pigs :3 My fat lazy fuzzballs, hehe.

We were supposed to go to the track too, but thanks to my family dragging their feet this morning, we didn't get to. I was stupid to actually believe we would be going to the track. I always end up disappointed when it comes to family outings, and it's really frustrating. Dad says we can go next week, but something tells me that we aren't going to. He'll find some excuse, or everyone will drag their feet again.

Always happens. My family sucks at time management and I'm the only one who gets shit done early.

Tomorrow we're supposed to go to the zoo...and something tells me that's not going to happen either.

Meh, and I'm tired of trying to work on this project I started. It isn't getting anywhere, and in my opinion looks really crappy.



All right, I'm done complaining now :/

I think I want to go towards Artisan Crafts, such as charms and sewing and what not. I have all the tools...except the fabric and clay e.e Since my mother decided to clean out our craft section downstairs, it is all gone. Urgh. I don't have any money right now, though, to buy craft supplies. I guess I'll have to improvise, or bug some of my friends to see if they have extra fabric they don't need o.O Oh well.

In other news...I don't know what. Work, work, work, blah blah blah. I don't have anything really interesting going on. Went and saw Transformer: ROTF, and it was sooooooooooo fricken epic. I want to go see it again.

I love Transformers, especially Beast Wars, which I grew up on. I used to watch it every day while I was waiting for the school bus to come pick me up.

Good times, good times.

I'm opening up commissions for manipulations. I can do human/animal/whatever you would like. Price will depend on the complexity of what you want. That will be discussed when you send me a note requesting what you would like :3 Note, these are paid commissions, not requests that I will do for you. I used to do requests, but not anymore.

I know I'm not as good as some other artists, but I'm starting to scrape the bottom financially D:

Everything that is included in the price is the time it takes to make the manip, the stock, and other things that may occur. Though most of it is just the time that is put into the manip.

And I'm still selling prints to anyone who would like to buy one. Note me with details.

If I were to set my own prices on my photography (manips would have to be extra special, because I would have to get permission from all of the stock holders. However, if that's something you want, I will definitely ask the stockholders if that is all right), would you want to get a print?

Stock is included in photography. I could sharpen them up a bit and level them. The reason I haven't done it to the stock is because I like to allow people to use them in their raw form so they can do as they like.

For example, instead of having to pay $12.50 for an 8 1/2 x 11 here on DA, I would sell mine for about $5 to $6 (for color, black and white would cost less, depending on shipping, so you could choose b/w or color, and this applies for glossy and matte), due to shipping and printing costs. Or an 18 x 24 would be $20 to $25 instead of $49.95

I don't know, what do you guys think? I'm planning on moving more to photography (though I am still going to manip), and I would like to look into getting more into it and selling prints of it.

Fun fun fun fun stuff. Tonight we're going to go out horseback riding. Can't waittttt. Haven't been riding in a while. Gonna be so sore tomorrow I have a feeling xD

Anyways, uploaded some stock from the racetrack. I posted the rules in the Artist Comments, so yeah. I'm excited to see what people do with it, if anything xD

I don't really know what to say, because there isn't much going on.

And we're going to go see Up here in a moment.

I don't understand anything of what it says. Ick. Ah well. I guess I'll start booting up my old desktop to use it. That kind of sucks since that computer is so slow and it's a pain in the ass to use. But beggars can't be choosers as they say.

Merhh. Oh well.

Going to see the Lipizzaner stallions here in about an hour and a half. I'm really excited, and I'm going to get lots of pics. I hope my camera doesn't shit out on me again like it did to the last even I took it too. The pics were all grainy and shit. Ick.

Suppose I'll have to play with it a little bit to get everything right.

Why am I so grumpy? I've been in a grumpy and annoyed mood all week. Ick ick ick.

But in other news...

=AndaluBee got me back into rping, and I'm really excited. I haven't rped since June of last year, and I've been itching to get back into it. Old habits never die, and this is one that I certainly enjoy. It is gonna be teh awesome!!11!1one1.

Maybe I need to just be a n00b for a day...haha. That would release all of that pent up energy. And my boy is going to be here in 7 days! I can't wait!

But everything is going really good. Miss my boy more than ever. But when it comes to school and work everything is going pretty good. I haven't had a lot of time to make nice artz, so hopefully I will find some time.

That and my tablet isn't working

The stylus isn't registering pen pressure, and it's really starting to frustrate me because I have the drivers installed. Maybe I need to reinstall them or something. I'll have to play around with it when I get the chance.

But in other news, omg, I'm going to be 19 in 7 days, so on April 17 will be the day I made my way into the world.

In other words, it was the day you were all screwed haha, just joking, but yeah. I feel it's all going by too fast. I feel like yesterday I was in middle school. Not anymore, now I'm a college student working 32 hours a week.

That's how things are I suppose. xD

After coming home and having to interact with my family again, I found I have fallen back into that anguished feeling I had before I went down, that deep sadness and hurt you don't know why you feel it, but it's there.

Not to mention I'm sick. Congested, coughing, and all gurgly.

Fuck you Mother Nature...again.

I can't breathe through my damn nose. Argh. It's so unattractive to breathe through one's mouth when they sleep, because then there's drool and your mouth gets all dry and ughughughugh.

But yeah, I can't wait to be with him. I love him so much, and he makes everything so much brighter. Even if he does make fun of me, lol.

"IT'S CUTE!"

-sighs-

Not much I can do though. Just have to get through this last quarter, and I hope it goes by fast. Then I'll be able to cry happy tears when I see him walk right by the security to me.



And now because of him I have a slight obsession with Kamelot...Gawd, I love him. xD


Well, enough of my pity-party journal, because I know there's people out there who have it worse than I do. I have to go to work in the morning too...ewww, work.

And on a good note, my trip was beyond amazing. We had a lot of 'us' time, and it was something we both needed. Made a lot of memories that won't be forgotten any time soon.

And What A Burger is the best fastfood place evar.

It's going to be really hard when I have to leave, but it'll only be for a little bit. There's no way I can stay away from him for too long. I might go insane otherwise. But we just have a few obstacles and then we'll be able to be together. Mmmm, I don't really know what else to say.

I'm just so happy, I can't think of what to say.

Other than his cat is extremely cute...and I love him. I loves him a lot a lot a lot.


How is everyone else doing? I'm not used to being away from DA and the internetz for this long, so edumacate me on what has been going on. I have a ton of messages too, but I really don't want to look at them because Imma gonna go be with my boi now that he is done getting directions to where we're going tonight :3




And I have an urge to be a n00b. That's what being without the internet for a few days does to me. It's going to suck for all of you when I catch up on everything





I'll add my extras, clubs, etc. later, because I can't remember the codes. Lulz

So, we have a group project, GROUP project, right. Two members, after very poor communication between everyone, did all of the work without telling us. There's five of us, so three of us (including me) are going to get points off. Then they go bawwwwwwing "BAWWWW, YOU DIDN'T HELP. YOU'RE ALL LAZY AND I'M GOING TO BE A BITCH. BAWWWW." Psh, I feel no remorse or sympathy. The peer edit isn't that big of a problem. 45/50 is still an A, but good lord.

COMMUNICATION. IT IS THERE FOR A REASON. Working 30-32 hours a week and doing a group project is difficult, EVEN MORE SO WHEN THERE'S NO COMMUNICATION. Ugh, I hate school but at the same time love my classes. Tomorrow is the presentation too, and I don't feel ready, even though I have note cards and know what I'm talking about.

And then, of course, they try to act all innocent. "OMG, WE'RE GONNA DO SO GREAT!!ONE!1" Please, just because I posted a message cornering your ass does not mean you go all positive and happy.

I really don't like people, but it sucks because I have to work with them for the rest of my life.



In more positive news, I get to go see my boy in 10 more days!! I can't wait, so exciteddd, so so so excited. It seems like it's a long wait for 10 days, but it will be great. Just thinking about it gets my heart going. <3

AND FE DS. I HAS IT AND IT IS AWESOMEEE. Even though it's in the same format as FE 7 and FE 8, it's different in some ways. It doesn't drop as many hints about who talks to who to recruit, but it's still pretty good. Haven't had a lot of time to play it with work, but it's fun when I do get a chance.


I am horrible with updating. Work and school has got me all tied up, and soon I'll be gone for 10 days (in 10 days, lulz) to be with my boy. Hope everyone is doing good.

And I hope the snow stops.

Yes

It's snowing

In March...

Fuck you Mother Nature.

When I come home from school and work, I end up passing everyone when I'M GOING THE DAMN SPEED LIMIT. How the hell does this work? The slow lane is not code for 'go as slow as you fucking want' on the highway. It means 'I want to go the speed limit and I'm going to stay off to the side so people can speed if they want to'. So then it makes me look like a jackass when I'm trying to pass everyone and stay at the speed limit.

ARGH, I CAN'T WIN D:

And I'm getting kind of worried. I sent my ticket in five days ago to get a court date to see if I can get it cut in half for it being my first offense and no one has gotten back to me yet. I have fifteen days to get it in, but if it got lost in the mail I really don't want an officer showing up at my door to put me in the back of their patrol car for a warrant because it didn't show up.

I WANT TO BE IN THE FRONT, NOT THE BACK D:

Really makes me miss my ride-alongs. I miss going fast in the patrol cars and hanging out with the officers at the station. Even if watching them write reports was long and tedious xD I miss the pups too, especially Joker, the German Shepherd tracking dog.

-sighs- I can't wait to start my career.


Other news, THREE MORE DAYS, FE Gawd, I'm such a nerd, but I'm damn proud of it. And I'm starting to listen to more Kamelot. Mmm, love that band, I command people listen to them.


HAPPY EARLY VALENTINE'S DAY BECAUSE I HAVE TO WORK ALL DAY TOMORROW AND WON'T BE ON HERE.

And life has been feeling rather hard recently. I think it's a mix of hormones and stress. Meh, feeling emo sucks sometimes :/ But there's not much I can do about it I guess. Just keep looking forward to the future, and know that it's going to keep getting better as time goes on. Well, at least I know it will.

Now, I'm off to play more with my CS4. I'm really lovin' it, and how it works with my tablet.

I am not meant to work 30 hours a damn week and keep up with school. It's hard for me, I'm exhausted by the time the weekend comes, and even then I'm still working. I find myself lagging behind when it comes to school work. I know I need to keep in college and finish so I can move to be with my boy and to become an officer. It's just so damn hard to keep motivation when I need to do something.

I either forget about my online classes or scramble to do the assignments at the last minute. I'm tired of this, I'm tired of trying to keep up with everything when I know I can't. The fact is that I'm only human, but my parents, my employers, and my teachers seemed to think otherwise. I have a feeling I'm going to fail this quarter, I've already missed so much, due to my busy schedule and my forgetful nature.

One thing is for sure, I'm never taking online classes ever fucking again. Ugh.

I kind of feel like crying, to be honest. But I can't bring myself to do it, I'm too tired to cry.

Now, it's off to work :/ Working from 2 to 9:30 tonight, lucky me. And 9-7 tomorrow, whoop-dee-do.

In other news, in a bad mood because my Dr. appointment was totally screwed up and I was scheduled for my foot doctor instead of my general practitioner. Now I have to wait to reschedule, because I am not talking to the same lady as before to schedule my appointment. I think her broken English was the barrier, along with her having a difficult time understanding me.

Whatever, I'll do it tomorrow I guess. I better be able to get in early because I am not a happy camper :/



And in more other news, I'm trying to take on more traditional art as well as my digital art. It's a bit of a stretch, but I think it's going all right. Nothing worthy of putting up here yet, but I'm having a lot of fun with my acrylics! Well, they're my mother's, but she practically gave them to me because she doesn't use them anymore. I love them more than watercolors. Maybe 'cause I just fail at those ones, haha. Anyways, that's an update on my art.

I may be putting some writing up as well, but I'm not 100% sure.

... if you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it I'm afraid of _ out of 72 common fears...


If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.
People who don’t have any are liars.


I'm a scaredy cat e.e I think needles, the dark, and noises in the dark are my greatest fears. I have slight panic/anxiety attacks.

Meh, it was fun to look at this anyways.


I don't have any other news that I know of. Few New Years resolutions: take care of homework, keep up on all my posts and trades/art, focus on being myself instead of so reserved.

What about you guys?

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

All I ask is a post of 250 words, which is about a paragraph and a half. Yet that's too hard for people who should read the rules to meet. I could make it considerably more, but I keep it relatively low to compensate for muse and off days.

It's pushing me over the edge. I've had Larthen for 2 1/2 years now, rare for a lot of RPGs that I've known, and I intend for it to keep going. However, I'm tired of dealing with ass hats. That'll never push aside my attachment to that site, it's been with me through my own n00b years, but come on!

Follow my damn rules >:C Then I wouldn't have to nag.

I feel better now...though I'm still sore from shoveling. I can't flex my dominant hand very well and my shoulders hurt like hell. I need a massage.

And Tylenol while I'm at it.



Also, tutorials, do you still want me to make some? I got yes's, but no suggestions. JEEZ GAIZ D:

That's right! I was just recently accepted as an instructor there and we need more people to join! Students, preferably, but I'm sure more instructors would be welcomed as well.

I think the server is down right now, because I can't access anything, but the site is: [link]

DO EET, DO EET NAO. You know you want to. xD

Another thing. I was weighing doing a tutorial, do you think I should, and if so, what of? I'm bored, and I'm snowed in, but I won't make one if no one will use it. xP


Was thinking about asking for a sub for Christmas, I'm tired of all of the ads. But I don't know if I should. Is it a waste of money, those who have subs? Hrmm.

And, of course, that means my mother is screaming at me for it being my fault that I didn't know the deadline for payment. HOW THE HELL WOULD THAT HAVE HELPED?! I couldn't have controlled payment anyways. She just keeps going on and on how this is a lesson and it's my fault for being ' passive ', I have a huge pounding headache, and I'm ready to start bawling. I'm going to be a quarter behind now, and everyone in the financial office is a douche bag. I'm tired of this, and I really want to just curl up in a corner.

If I hadn't made myself promise to go to college, I'd just drop. Seriously. UGH I NEED TO PUNCH SOMETHING >:C

Fighting with my mother is like going up against a pack of saber toothed tigers. If you aren't careful, you'll get your head torn off and put on backwards. It's like a mental game of chess wit her, ick.

No, this rant has not made me feel better, just relieved the headache a little bit.

Anyways, just updating because I can. School and work have been going well, and I've adjusted into college life with little problem. I can't wait to get into next quarter so I can take hands on classes for my criminal justice degree. Hopefully I'll be able to get an internship as well, because that would just be the greatest thing ever.

I've also been on DA for 2 years!

What else...I don't know. I've been interested in emotes recently, so you'll see more of those, and more photography once I get off my butt to look through it. If you guys see any pics you want to use as stock, feel free to ask me about it and I'll put them on my stock account.

Work has been going well, as has school. I need more rest I think, as well as more hours at work. But I'm hoping to move to the copy center soon after I'm done training there.

Well, off for rest now, just updating because I haven't since September.

HALLOWEEN IS GETTING CLOSE...although I'll probably be working then

And I will have been on DA for 2 years come October 28th. Yay!

I highly agree, because to be honest, it kills me when I see pr0n or potential ruining of a cartoon character that I know and love (I have yet to see Spongebob pr0n, but if I do, I'm gtfo the internet). Not to mention these characters are purposely underage for the sake of the cartoon show. And now, I'm seeing all of these people whining and complaining about it "ZOMG WE CAN'T DRAW OUR CHILDZ PR0N!!ONE11!! IT'S NOT FAIR, U R STOOPID AND NOT FAIRR!!one" Give me a break.

It isn't fair because you can't draw nude children to fap to and post it on a site full of minors? There's a reason why child porn is illegal, and it doesn't matter if it's a photo or if it's a drawing. It's depicting a child doing something sexual for someone's sick pleasure. Keep it in your personal collection, don't post it here.

And the argument "Everyone else does it and doesn't get in trouble," is not acceptable. If you see it, report it immediately.

And they were just "looking for friends", not to mention don't have very good typing skills, or English is a second language. So, I don't know who this person is, but beware if they IM you, because there might be more behind it than "just looking for friends", because they skirt around giving information about themselves unless you push them into a corner. If you want more info, note me and I'll give you some more.

FINALLY. After a little over a year of getting myself hyped up and anxious [yes, I am a hardcore gamer, lmao. I get worked up over the tiniest things] I have FINALLY beaten Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. I know, I'm a bit late and there are people out there who beat the game months, maybe even weeks, after buying it. I just take a long time, that's all xD I get side-tracked.

But I have finally done it! I'm so excited xD Now, I must finish my other FE games before I get too side-tracked once again .____.

[I know, probably no one cares but it's 10:30 pm and I need to shout it out somewhere xD]

Mmk, now that that's out of my system, on to other things. I'll be taking requests again for those who actually want one [don't get many from here, though]. However, I applied for a job today, so if I get it my time is going to be cut off from the computer immensley. I need money D8

Anyways, focus Ele focus. I'm sorry if I've been slow with updates or replying to your comments, I've just been extremely busy at the moment with...well...life, lol. But I'm working on it, so just bear with me x3 lol. Ummmm, not sure if there's anything I really need to say. If I think of something I'll edit this D8

Kind of nervous, though. I have to present my senior project on Jan. 17... it doesn't seem close to some, but for me I'm kind of sweating it because I don't know what I'm going to say really =/ I have a lot of practicing to do and it's all pressurized. x.x

And I'm nervous D= This Thursday is the first showing of the play that I'm helping out with (I operate sound, woohooo) and I still don't have some of the tracks down. And I think over half of our cast isn't ready either. Pressure, pressure, pressure x.x But it'll be fun, I think. I hope it'll go smoothly.

And in case anyone is curious, we're doing 'The Odessey of Jeremy Jack', which is an interactive younger-person type play. Last year there were more mature (not in the sense of naughty things. Just more mature older-people-would-like-more kind of thing). So this time it'll be something for the kiddies ^^ We also have to do a fundraiser to help with the cost of the new stage. We might do a bake sale or have the kids take pictures with the cast (as the cast is all 'animals'. Who wouldn't want a picture with a turtle with a mustache? xDD ) But if anyone has any ideas, please tell me. And no car washes. Here it is seriously 30 degrees and I am not washing cars out in the cold xD

But yeah, lots going on this week, like just about every other week. But I'm looking forward to it! ^^

I'm probably going to get a heap of flamers for this, but I say this to you, BRING IT ON. Go ahead, flash me a little ED. I don't care. I have people who know how I am and small things like flamers and people who think I'm 'butthurt' don't bother me. Get a life. Go do something proactive instead of sitting in front of your computer all day, searching for people to bully. I have been seeing this EVERYWHERE on DA, not just those who draw 'Spirit Style'. This is fricken ridiculous.

And what kills me is it's mostly people who draw anime. (And I know tons of people who draw anime, so don't start bashing me about how 'I hate them', because I don't.) But why do those people who do think they're better because they can draw people who ARE A PARTICULAR TYPE OF STYLE? Yes, Anime is A STYLE. And so is SPIRIT STYLE. Do we see the similarities? Do we see the word STYLE? Mhm, hope so. And like I said, don't start bashing me because of what I said about people who draw Anime. I watch people on here who draw Anime.

I support the people who draw a certain style and then are bashed for it. And for those who bash, I say get a life. I can't draw, but that doesn't mean I go and bash people who can. And don't even go into the tracing thing. People do have talent and can draw as well as the people who draw the style for a profession.

You can't look at a picture and automatically say it's stolen. People use references, people practice, people can just draw in an amazing fashion.

It's sad to see what DA has been reduced to - a fight over page views to see who can become the most popular. The only reason I'm still here is because I post my pics for the stock-providers to see what I've done. Stop bashing artists that have different view points/styles than you do.

I support:

Snapesnogger
Boribaby
Kayfedewa
And many others

Maybe I'm a little butthurt 8D (make sure to note sarcasm here)

This is like... the best thing that's happened all week! -dances more- Okay, I'm done... I think... maybe... not really... rawr...?

Mmk, it's out of my system now. My Internet is finally up and working normally again, thank goodness for that. I was beginning to feel deprived x.X;

And now I'm done with all of the excitement for now. -shifty eyes-

Larthen is still dying, actually it's there, but there's nothing I can really do until I get my stuff together and let some of my stress roll off of me. It has a brand new skin (again) and some things are being rearranged, but then it'll be back open once I get things sorted out with it and my life. But for now it's closed.

This Saturday is going to be great. First I'm going to get my Senior photos taken, which will be nice because it's professionally done and hopefully I won't look like an idiot 8D Then we're going down to the police station to talk with my mentor and set up some dates in which I can do some ride alongs, perhaps work with the K-9 unit. Then it's homecoming! I almost didn't get to go this year because of our financial situation, but I thank those who helped pitch in so I could go. (Although no one on here knows those people, lol) <3

So, it'll be a busy busy day, which I'm looking forward to. It doesn't look like I'm going to have massive amounts of homework this weekend, so this should be relaxing.

Government: I'm struggling so much in this class. I had it up to a B- the other day, but now it's dropped back to a C because of a stupid notebook grade.

Spanish: Here I'm doing alright. Except for the fact that I failed my first test.

Math: I have a D, yes a D. I failed my very first test, despite the fact that I studied night and day to get ready for it. Then my friend complained she got a B and I had to bluntly tell her to shut up because she was pissing me off.

Culminating Challenge Seminar: I'll explain this in a moment.

Photography: I'm actually doing well in this class. It's my strong point, and I really like this class. I'm getting 100% in all of the photoshop lessons and what not, and my pictures turn out decent.

English: -sob- I have to write a 13 paragraph essay by Monday. But I'm passing this class (I better, lol. I'm a roleplayer for goodness sake)

Now, the Culminating Challenge is something I need to graduate. We're supposed to job shadow (have a "mentor") and then make a presentation out of it to present to 60 people we don't know out of the community. I asked a neighbor of ours to be my mentor. Of course, they waited until the day the forms are due to decline. I about started sobbing. I have 1 semester to get this entire thing finished, and now I'm stressing out. My project proposal is due October 5th.

Then to add onto this nice high pile of stress, my site, which I love and adore with all of my being, is dead. Simply put, it's dead. If you know me well, you'll know that this is tearing me in two. I put my heart and soul into that thing and now it's just gone to waste. My co-admin is gone, just poofed, and those who join end up disappearing. I don't want to close the site down in hopes it'll kick up again, but I highly doubt it.

Right now I just feel like curling up into a little ball and sobbing my eyes out. A person can only take so much disappointment.

I'm still estatic about having my license. I can go anywhere I want, and I'm loving it. The only problem I have is I have to use my parents' car, seeing as I don't have one of my own, so that makes it difficult to get places sometimes. But I just have to save up a little more.

It's official, this July I am going to be going to Europe with one of my best friends with a program through our school. I'm so excited!!! I can't wait to get out there, and perhaps take stock pics while I'm at it. Either way, I'm uber excited for this. You guys will be Eleless for 3 weeks. I'm rather anxious about the plane ride though. The last time I was on a plane, I panicked everytime we hit turbulance.

And on other news... uh... homecoming will be here shortly and I have no date ;_; Nonetheless, I'm going to go with a group of my single friends, and we'll rock the house like party animals ;D

Umm... DA news wise... I don't have any... except I'm not as active as I should be because school sucks and all my teachers were like: "PSH HOMEWORKKKK SUFFFER." And we're like: "NOOO." xD

That wraps up this session of Ele-news.
