I know I've been absent and I intend to post some artwork/photography, but right now I'm working on getting back into school. I'm looking at getting a BA in 130 weeks (about 2 1/2 years), so I will be busy as a fuckcicle! Hopefully, though, it will improve my artwork and I should have lots of interesting things to submit.

I will be studying jewelry making, photography, drawing and painting. When I finish, I'm considering going back for a comprehensive degree - possibly doing computer animation, digital graphics, jewelry making, photography, and/or painting. I'm really looking forward to taking classes again. :dance: ]]> http://helen-baq.deviantart.com/journal/420-302691668 http://helen-baq.deviantart.com/journal/420-302691668 Thu, 17 May 2012 10:17:54 PDT 420! nonadult journals/personal Helen-Baq http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/e/helen-baq.gif?3 Copyright 2012-2013 ~Helen-Baq @HelenBaq

In my last journal I posted a video of the Wacom Inkling, which I WANT. Sadly, it was forever out of stock. I kept trying, but it was continually unavailable, unless you wanted to buy it on Ebay for 2x or more what it is going for retail. So I waited and waited and waited. Finally, yesterday I found it on Amazon. They only had two available!!! :omfg: I hopped up and down and threw down an order for that bad boy. Hopefully it will get here in time for my birthday. We shall see... :paranoid:

How's my favorite group of bandits (ahem) artists?

It's so amazingly beautiful here, this spring! I'm so glad to be out of Seattle and someplace with seasons and sunshine. I hope all of you are happy, too.

What happened, you ask? Well, grab a cup of hot cocoa or a glass of wine and settle in for the weirdest break up story you've probably ever heard...

Tuesday December 21st I am awakened by a call from the then not yet Ex. Mr. Baq. He can barely talk, but manages to tell me he was in a bad car wreck and is in the hospital and asks me to come see him. Naturally, I jump up, get my things together, and go to see him.

When I get there he is in pre-op and they tell me "Teresa is with him :)". I'm all... who is Teresa?... :o"

First, I've been sick. I got really, really sick and missed a week's worth of work while I mostly slept and coughed and complained. I finally made it to the doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis and two ear infections and that was after I was feeling better.
