As for the gifts, well most of 'em'll be late '_';

-Mini hickory farms sausages
-Salami stick,
-Money from dad (coming later)
-Money from grandparents (being combined with christmas money, coming later)
-Megaman art book (coming later)

I'm hoping that the oney from my grandparents'll be enough to get a new ipod.... I NEED my music to draw > plus my old one's playing the first song I start up in slow motion... I'm told it's a sign that it's dying out (it's a 3 year old 1st gen ipod nano)

So... commissions... eh almost ready to bring 'em back... there's some issues happening at FA, so I need to wait....

a'ight.. I'm tired.. gonna kick back all day

While I already knew about the rumored characdters joining in addition to T. Hawk, Dee Jay, and Juri, that doesn't mean I'm any less excited about Guy and Cody Coming (granted, I have much dislike for Cody's prison outfit) Adon's also a nice addition, and he makes sense, since he appeared in Sagat's story. Now I just gotta find out if the other rumors are true.

Finally, some characters in SF4 I can use '_'; ...what? I was only good with Chun Li, and being cheap with Ken in the original SFII .....no... I was more familiar with Guy n' Cody in SFAlpha, and Elena, Makoto, and Dudley in 3rd Strike.... incidently, Makoto, Dudley, and Ibuki are rumored to be joining.... I'm prayin' for elena.... Capoeira's one of my favorite martial arts styles ^^


GAH!!! I made a Man mess!!! ...gotta go clean the chair n' desk now.....

Why?

My PC is absurdly slow.... I can't use my tablet because it lags, it takes 10 minutes to completely start up... in general, the thing's like 10 years old... I mean.. there's so much wrong with this baby, I'm worried it'll go out soon.... even with the increase in RAM (1.5 GB) and space (500GB) it's this bad. hell, my roomate has a computer with 512 MB of ram AND it's filled to the brim as far as space goes, yet his is STILL faster than mine... D:/

So, I'm gonna try and earn $700 through a combination of Saving up unemployment checks and whatever I might make from commissions....

I just need to decide on the prices, and wether or not I wanna bring back comic commissions.... if I do, they'll be really expensive, due to the chaos involved in making them......

But, uh..... please don't bug me on wether I'm taking 'em now 'till I make the official announcement. I don't wanna be rushed.

Now bed.... I only get 3 hours before the apartment people fix the crack in the kitchen caused by their work outside.. (long story)

Most of my stuff is unpacked. The rest will stay in their boxes for easier access (and because I'm outta room) one thing I'm not a huge fan of, is the dust... aw man... it's brutal! My allergies've been acting up every day because of it >_< Once I'm completely unpacked, we'll haveta clean this place up a bit more.

I'm also at a different desk. It's almost as good as my original desk, except... it lacks drawers.... -_-; but! it's also L-Shaped! meaning I can fit my moniter, tower, AND laptop on it ^^ why, if I planned this thing out right, I could use my PC and laptop at the same time ^^ I'mma haveta get one of these when I move out..... IF I move out... I know it'll be awhile thanks to shitty job opportunities.... although... there IS a bookstore hiring in 2 days.... I need to update my application tomarrow while I'm at the house... cleaning my room.... in 90 degree weather D: DAMN from monday and on! it'll be ALL high 90s....

aaaaaand... it seems I'll be moving next week into a friend's place. basically, his living room will be my room.... damn... s'wierd with my whole family going their separate ways... ah well. Most my room's packed up... and I know I'll be disappearing from the net on the 22nd... just untill my computer is set back up..... though I dunno how long that'll be... it should only be like a day or 2

I guess the masses are wondering if I have something planned. Yes... yes I do. Quite a few things actually, mainly in the form of a large color update along with something else.... HOWEVER! This will take time! As I mentioned in my last journal, life's gotten really busy! (plus, my PC now SUCKS at CG-ing) Good news is, I've found a place (gonna stay with a friend and his mom). Bad news is, I'm still struggling with the packing. it's tough weeding out which manga is coming with and which is going into storage.... I mean, I need my drawing refs! I know I'll be taking Air Gear, Fairy Tail, and Rave master with me (as they're all uncompleted collections) but the Jury's still up on eiken (a manga I'm having trouble getting ahold of) and Ragnarok.... I'm really hoping I can bring most my comics and manga with me in addition to drawing books, bnut we're talking a LOT of books. Damn..... I just wanna get back to drawing, but it's so damned easy to get distracted with so much going on! When AM I gonna accomplish my dream of being a character designer? '_';



ah almost 4 AM again.....

Wow... maybe it's 'cause I haven't seen it in forever, but...... the Rave(Master) Dub is.... seriously bad....! I just don't like the dialoge (Destroy instead of Kill, Shadow Guard instead of Demon Card, Shadow Stones instead of Dark Bring.... Puns as bad as something from 4kids... etc...) and rehashed music... the voices ain't too bad, though. More of a mixed bag. Strangely, the english opening was why I got into the manga in the first place.... Although... it's not that much better in japanese, save the lovely openings... I mean, the animation, itself, is pretty bad. Vibrant colors, but close-ups on the cels and stills instead of real action scenes, not to mention the way the series ends.... well... I mean... it doesn't end! It just kinda cuts off where volume 12 leaves off! Which, in the american Manga, is when they finally stop censoring curse words with "Snap", "Greck", and "Stank"... well, at least they were creative.... Also, Sci-Fi puts way.. WAY too many commercial breaks in.. I've counted 5 in the last 20 minutes!

And, in case you wondered about my Avatar, That's Asagi.... She appears in various Nippon Ichi games. You want her full story? look it up... I will say this, though.... It was HELL to put together. Her arm actually animates completely seperate from her body! Her body movement has 6 frames, and her arm has about 10 frames! ...so I had to cut some frames out, or, it'd never work..... And yes, that's her fighting stance in Disgaea 3 and the Disgaea 2 PSP remake (She play Air guitar! ...or whatever weapon she's holding....)

mmm... what to draw....

Actually, the title refers to the fact that I haven't been breathing correctly since last wedensday. At first I thought it was ust allergie, so I was doing my daily thing.. then I ended up near bedridden friday and thought "hey! I betcha I'm sick!" I've been slowly recovering from it since then, and am now just down to having trouble breathing if I move too much. so I have just enough in me for trips to the convenience store.... Y'know... I had to postpone a house-cleaning job 'till this weekend 'cause I was sick >:/ I wanted ta get the thing outta my way too ;_;

So let's see... what else.... ah! I bought a laptop offa cragslist for $300 ^^
-160GB HD (94 with programs from previous people installed)
-2 GB RAM
-2 hour battery charge (seems short, but... meh.)
-Windows vista
-Only a few months old

I love the thing ^^ works a lot more quickly than this one ^^ (then again, this one has close to 400GB of space taken up on it) if I were to make a list of pros and cons... well..

Pros
-Can finally watch .mkv files (this computer is 8 years old, and the only video format I can't watch is mkv)
-Can vector my pics faster (I noticed this while I was sick over the weekend... it was nice doing it from my bed ^^)
-Can play videos directly from my external without having to transfer 'em
-Taking it out will be a big plus!

Cons
-Still figuring out how I can use my tablet while not sitting at my PC... I may just avoid using it at the house.
-Can't scan artwork directly (scanner is actually as old as my computer, if not older O_o; )
-Vista keeps asking me to scan my flash/external drive whenever I change a file or folder on it
-can be difficult to figure out colors if you aren't looking at the right angle.

My current computer still has many uses. it's gonna remain my main download/storage computer, in addition to my main coloring one, since, as I pointed out, It can be tough to figure out the colors on my new one's screen.

now..... I need to grab me a meal.... and... uh.. maybe CG or something

I also got my HDTV....... while I AM loving it, I do see some problems. For example, the button responmse is terrible, in addition, some of the labels I have on channels dissappear at random (very frustrating if you spent 3 hours labeling over 100 channels) if anyone has any advice on this odd issue, please let me know.

Also, I'm seeing how poorly Nippon Ichi did on rendering the sprites in disgaea 3.... meaning, the sprites look blocky as hell if you zoom in.... ah I'm sure they'll move to high res next time around.

by the way... did you know "PRINNY: Can I really be the Hero?" Is satan incarnate? I've never played through stages so hard, and the final boss was far from a walk in the park '_'; ...took me all week to finally beat his ass.

yeah. guess that's it...

I spent the next hour riding the wrong bus to the wrong station and ended up pretty much seething when I got home..... then, later... I decided to check my bank account to see if I had enough to buy a game... well I had MORE than enough to buy one, as my taxes came in! Plus, I finally reached one of my goals in WoW! (I know.... sounds stupid) but that's about where the happiness ended. soon after, my crown popped out while I chewed a gummy bottle. now.. I'm parinoid... I don't know how much of my taxes I could lose to fixing the tooth.... all I know is, I'm lucky it fell out just before the appointment I have this thursday... still... I gotta contact the doc and see what I can do.. damn.. I'm pissed.... can't think straight. I JUST had that much needed money come in, and my crown pops off within hours of me getting it... who the hell did I piss off to deserve that one?!

Of course, the tooth popping out was inevitable... the thing was 15 years old, I had a cleaning which left my gums more inflammed, and the dentist may've jerked it loose. then the candy I was munching tonight.. too many reasons.... too tired to speak clearly..

***UPDATE!***
Well, I got a call from the dentist telling me he'd be fine repairing it with no charge X3

Also, I found out about at least 2 places, near where I live, that teach weekly life drawing classes (for a small amount up front), and while my goal is to gain a better sense of motion in my drawing (I'm so sick of all these stiffly-posed pics I've drawn lately) I really need more experience in backgrounds and drawing nudes.... my anatomy just seems to suck alot more than usual lately '_';

In addition, I have some of my own pics that I gotta color, and ideas that need to be put to paper, along with a secret prooject I need to get back to.

aahhh... nothin' like startin' a birthday like gettin' up at 7:30 AM to get ready for a free double root canal (because my dentist is just THAT awesome) at 10:30 AM (half an hour before I normally wake up)

Actually, thanks to my ipod, the operation went pretty smoothly as I got lost in the music.... man that was a quick 2 and a half hours of drilling, nerve & blood vessel removal, cleaning, wedging, and filling '_'; ..only parts that really sucked were the couple times I felt the nerves being pulled... and thus had to be numbed a second time... as result, my face is still half parylized after 7 hours '_'; I STILL can't smile without looking like an idiot '_';

oh... presants you asked? well, so far I've gotten:
-$100 from my grandparents (saving for an HDTV)
-$35 and a book on game design (quite serious about getting into the business y'know) from my mom
-a pack of DEEZ NUTS!!!

I'm havin' a party tomarrow with my friends so, hopefully it'l be all kick ass n' what not

As for the hiatus thing... yeah.... I dunno when I'll post anything outside of pics that still need to be colored.

So far, I've spent the last week taking pre made poses and rendering them into the basic shapes that make them up. I guess I gottta get the hang of which shapes represent which areas of the human body... I've done like 30 quick sketches spanned over 12 pages in my large sketchbook this week, and I'm ok with it, but I'm still struggling with the leg area. plus, It doesn't really help me in creatng pses on my own. I'm also trying to train my mind's eye so the drawigs I look more like they do in my head. yeah... lotsa work ahead. once I'm sure I can do the shapes, I'll be working on the actual anatomy.

and what the hell is up with Disgaea 3's downloadable content? it's been several months and nothing outside the news of it coming to the US has happened! ;_; I WANT MY FUCKING MARJOLY!

I've recently become fullly aware of certain problems in my drawing style, namely, my anatomy, and now that I'm aware, I can't draw regularly. In fact, the flaws become even more obvious... to that end, I've decided I'm gonna halt commissions for a while, and go on a temporary hiatus to sharpen my abilities. I'm not sure when I'll be posting again, but, with my strangely high rate of absorbing drawing knowledge, hopefully, I won't be gone or too long. right now, I'm aiming just for a month. but, if the improvements aren't enough, I'll be longer..... at this point, anything I post will be pics that were waiting to be colored

*************************************************************

Good god... I'm gonna be 27 next month.... (December 5th, my little gift givers > ) I still don't feel old... though the toll that this year has taken on me has made me very tired and anxious to get it over with.... something tells me this year was made to teach me how hash the world can truly be... considering I've had someof my worst life experiences this year. I'd rather not list them all, since there's too much to remember and those who've kept up with my journals or talk to me personally, already know what's happened to me. Although I'm quyite positive there are others who've had an exponewntially worse year this year than I have.

well I'm getting all yawny and stuff... need more sleep.... gotta draw s'more at work tomarrow... Suposedly, my booth's been renovated ovser the weekend... damn... I hope they didn't mes with the plug ins too bad... it's...... maddening...... to sit......... and draw....... in total.......... silence........ I NEED MY JANNE D'ARC, DAMMIT!!!!


aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I'm told that it'll be $845 to get a root canal just after I had my X-rays to find out about geting fillings last week! ..... 2 teeth to save... my.... someone really hates me don't they? I thought I was callng to find out how much a FILLING would be and now I'm PAST that point?!

ah... I wonder if I can gain $1800 in commissions ¬_¬ or blow some people...... suckin' the big pickle... then again... I don't wanna containate my mouth any further... so forget it.... eh... dentist hunting again it is.. I need to find some alternate options before I start panicing... I already have one.. mmmm..

**********EDIT HUGE news!*************

I.... I still can't believe the news I got! I mean! seriouly! even after my 3 hour nap, I get teary-eyed thinking about it! After..... ok.... I got a call from my dentist's secretarty and... and... after discussing it with the dentst, she told me he offered to do both root canals, strengthenings, one filling, and one extraction, all for........FREE! he wants to do them all for FREE! that's like $2300 dollars worth of operations! free! right now we're trying to schedule it on a friday, the first time it was gonna be December 5th (my birthday! and what a wonderful presant!) but they realized that I wouldn't work, so they're gonna try for one of the other fridays, so it could be as soon as next friday, or the friday after my birthday. ^^


wow...... just....... wow, man....

*************************************************************

I decided to bite th'bullet and offer up some colored commissions. For several reasons really;

a. practice
b. bored for something to draw at work
c. Due to a misjudgement and a stupid miscommunication between paypal and my bank account, I'm now $147 in the hole due to multiple $30 overdraft charges on $1.60 purchases. WTF?! it still pisses me off to think about it!!!! edit That part was fixed (thankfully)

I've lowered the prices to how they were 2 years ago, but... eh they're subject to change if necessary. again. I'm not doing comics, as they wore me out completly. I'll also be doing 6 at a time instead of overloading myself with multiple lists. Also, this offer is gonna be shared with a different account, so if you see a part of the list that says "reserved", it means that it was reserved on that other account It's not to be mean, I know I could separate the 2 lists, but.... well that would overload me, bnow wouldn't it? >:3

I'll also say this again, please be specific in pose and provide me a good reference as well as the character's personnality if you can. It helps in pulling off just the right reaction to the situation they're in ^^

Well.... since I couldn't think of a Halloween costume set for my characters this year, and because I was bored and needed to challenge myself, I decided to do 10 sketches of 10 villains from Manga and Games..... I'm gonna be sketching up the 10th tomarra actually...

in any case, these won't be the high quality color pics I normally post, since I don't have that kind of time to Vector and fully CG 10 pics in 10 days. so, likely I'll be posting more simple and rushhed-looking pics (as evidenced by the first piece) I apologise in advance for that, but, these are just for fun and I hope you'll enjoy 'em..........


also, another note, all the villains.... it's my first time drawing all of them... so.... bleh... wierd looks for all of 'em........ hm.... hope I can finish the next one tonight..... my stamina's low right now '_';

So. yes. got the tooth pulled, have today off 'cause of it. Unfortunately, I learned 2 of my upper teeth need fillings... the cost of that combined with an exam was estimated at $340-$360
@_@ Not fully sure how I'll handle this situation, but I'm sure I can It'll be a while before I save up is all.

Also, I learned that the thing with my gums constantly hurting is a condition called Sinusitis.... There's a couple of tratments... one is to use antibiotics, the other, involves a using Neti-pot to perform Nostril irrrigation.... that.... is what I'm doing and it feels really wierd... '_';

Now... I need to finish my Cup o' Noodles with Spam mixed in and pass out.

So here we are..... Next wednesday I get that tooth pulled. it seems my barrier is mostly gone, or my tooth is getting anxious. Either way, the right side of my face keeps acting up.... It just intensifies, then vanishes over and over... the pain ranging from the inside of my mouth to above my eye, to as far as into my neck. Oh yeah. I can't WAIT 'till this one' pulled!!!

Oh. you're wondering about the finances? Well, unfortunately, the commissions weren't working out, however, I had a few donations which helped alot, plus, mmy grandparents were generous enough to send the money to help with both the extraction and the tooth cleaning ^^ So, all's well.

.....now if only the pain would stop...

Well, I learned from my dentist today about that tooth mentioned a few journals ago, seems it's showing the beginnings of an absess, the x-ray showed it has a very thin barrier keeping backteria from infecting it and giving my that swollen, pus-filled, cheek look. Normally, I like poofy cheeks, but... ah... not if it's gonna involve me being in pain. In any event, I gotta get the thing pulled on the 10th fortunately, the operation's only gonna cost me $125 ($118.75 if I pay in cash) So, I gotta hope the barrer lasts untill then. I also gotta bum me some money from the grandparents, as this commission thing's not working out too well.

I don't plan on closing the sketch commissions for awhile. at least. not untill I feel overworked.

As for my little outburst in my prevous journal. I was in alot of pain from the alergy toothaches... so I wasn't fully rational at the time I also decided to talk to my boss and get next tuesday off. I figure with a 4 day weekend, I'll be recovered enough to handle the job for awhile..... now how to use those other 4.......... one for my birthday... the rest for the holidays... hm......

I have a hawaiian calzone to finish....

*************************************************************

Within a week.... one of my favorite co-workers was suspended (and possily fired monday) because another co-worker was snooping in our booth and found something that wasn't supposed to be there, then decided to tattle. If anyone who watches me and acts like that kind of tattling asshole, burn in hell. What kind of stupid, bored, fuck spends their time just narcing on other co-workers in an attempt to get on the boss' (or corporate's) good side, while betraying their fellow co-workers in the process? There are at least 2 well-known tattlers at my job, and I, and a large chunk of the other co-workers suspect one of them, and the tension's building because the co-worker in suspension has worked there the longest (30 years) without a raise outside minimum wage increases. (yeah the company doesn't give promotions)


In any case, as a result of this incident. I now haveta keep a close eye on my own ass, because the 2 tattlers actually work acros the street from my booth and one of them can't keep her nose in her own god damned business.

Another result involved me coming in for a 10 hour shift thiursday and friday, to cover up the rest of the suspended co-worker's shift and to help train a possible replacement for monday, all the while, my sinuses are acting up, and my gums are now in excruciating pain. just 2 days AFTER my stress gum/tooth aches went away.

On top of that, my TV is slowly breaking down. I've had several instances where I turn it on and see some lines at the top of my screen, flipping through channels usually gets rid of them, but it's got me concerned!

and on top of THAT, the back part of my chair just broke! and how did it break? I leaned back, and the tips of the screws that hold the back in place fell out... THE TIPS OF THE SCREWS! Now there's no possible way to fix that! I now have a choice between a seat with no back, or a seat with no hydrolics (shrinks down when you sit in it) Plus, I won't be able to afford a new chair untill my next pay check, or the one after! meaning, I'd be waiting 2 weeks to a MONTH before a new chair will grace my room! I could afford it now, but then, I'd have no money to afford my first dental appointment this tuesday. I'm still not sure how I'm gonna afford the extraction though, if nothing else, I can borrow money from my grandparents..... feh.....

god.... I'm afraid of this coming week....

and my damn back hurts from sitting in this chair with nothing to lean on >_<

Well, since I have a couple of dentist appointments coming up, and it's likely they'll drain the hell outta my next 2 paychecks, I've decided to open up commissions 'till my financial issues stabalize. Actually, I'm hoping to use the money made from these towards my dental appointment and extraction.

However, as I've mentioned in past journals, due to work cutting in to most of my time, I can only do sketches and detailed sketches. On the bright side, I can finish sketches within 1-2 days depending on the type. In some cases, I can get 2 done in a day, allowing you to get your commissions much more quickly than before ^^

So, without further ado.... the Prices:

*************************************************************

So... quite a huge update, yes? I ain't updated tht much since I first came here, Well, the responses tell me you all got a kick out of it, and I enjoyed hearing the feedback.

Oh... the title? well, I'm still debating on opening commissions is all. While I can't color my pics as often as I used to (I'm too drained from drawing every weekday), I CAN sketch fairly quickly. Plus, it takes me between 1-3 days to do a detaled shaded sketch. (I'm doing these at work, after all) so I can pump through sketch comissions quickly.

But. I'll do it if enough people are intrested, If I do open 'em up, I'll be mainly doing pin ups and sequences, since comics, while I do love 'em, are too damned taxing. and expansion comic are pretty much sequences with a sory that can be hard to come up with. Expansion omics especially all have the same result, so I figure it's best to not bother with 'em.

So. yeah. As soon as I finish a couple things (may be a little while), would anyone like t'see my commissions return?

(also, please don't respond with "I'd like to, buuuut" trust me. the last thing an artist whose looking for commissions wants to do is excitedly chck their inbox, only to find someone mentioning they don't have any money.)

I'm farting chicken blood!



naw... the internet.... I'm getting problems again this last night, I was getting ready to go online with my PS3 and see if I could download the SC3 extras yet... but JUST as I got on the network, my internet died. I did the usual unplug/plug back in nonsense, and that didn't work, so I went to bed HOPING all would be good..... but nay.... I woke up to a still dead connection (can stay connected, but can't browse the net or use AIM)

So, I called qwest... they had me do everything from resetting, to adding a new configured ISP number and pinging it (which I got no response from) in the end, the operator said I may have a problem with the port and suggested I take the computer in.... honestly, I thought that was a load of bull. Most of the time we talked, he would go silent for a long time... either way... I found him... useless. and the thick accent didn't help either '_'; normally I can understand, but bleh.... the whole call made me late for work.

Well, just before getting off work, I asked one of my co-workers (who modded my Xbox) on his ideas. he told me to turn off my computer, unplug my modem and router, plug in my router, wait for it to power up, then plug in my modem, wait for IT to power up, then turn it back on.... I did... and had no luck.

I then followed his second suggestion. Turn everything off, connect the ethernet directly to my modem from my computer, and reset. I did...and here I am.. aaaand.... now I know it's my linksys router. which has me extemely worried.

It's becoming a repeat of the situation with my comcast, where my comcast went out, then, after calling both comcast and linksys, ended up losing my connection thanks to a cerain stubborn landlord.. I'd rather not go through this again, but I already have to call linksys.... and start this whole thing all over again. -_-; possibly endind with yet another high speed connection desroyed... am I doomed to wander in 56k-ness? doomed to not have a wireless connection? >_<

Well, I was thinking... since it's gonna be quite expensive to get my teeth done (with my salary) I'm pondering re-opening commisions once I've finished Transformation Idol and taken a sort of... "break"
in any event.... due to my rather limited drawing time, I won't be able to do really any inking or coloring.

at most, I can do detailed shading (there's a few examples in my gallery, and I'll be posting a couple more in after TFI4) but, I'll be able to do pinups and sequences but not comics... (Inflation comics seem to reptitive to me and are a pain to do at work)


I'm sorry if I'm being so restricted this time around, but It's gonna be awhile before I can really color anything, which sucks since I wanna finish the X-girls series.. I think I have 2 pics left to shade '_'; heep in mind, this commission thing'll only be 'till I've saved up enough to pay for my dental. though at the prices I have et in my head, it'll be some time.

yes! that's right, there's a whole new Slayers series that started like July 2nd '_';

You know.. I believe that, so far, this has been one of the worst if not THE worst years of my entire life. with all the crap I've gone through, I'm surprised I haven't started drinking... Allow me to review this year so far. some issues have been resolved...

Health
--Lost Health and Dental insuranse (as I've mentioned several ttimes before) Due to minimum wage being "too much" to be on the plan.
--Lost Medicinal coverage from the same company for the same reasons... fortunately, it looks like I've got that part resolved... (semi-free meds directly from the companies that make 'em!)
--Caught the Stomach Flu (I still don't eat the way I used too ;_; )
--Stopped getting headaches and now get tooth aches. essentially, whenever I get a cold or my alleries act up, the fluid drains into my gums causing immense pain... yes... all ast week it was like that... sometimes one tooth would hurt a little, then another tooth would hurt alot, or an area of my teeth would hurt some or, at worst, like 2 weeks ago, ALL MY TEETH HURT AT ONCE!!!! It also seems that my toothaches may be caused by stress.
--One of my fillings fell out in my sleep and that tooth has been steadily deterioirating as a result of all the dentists in town wanting all the money up front instead of a payment plan... guess I have to use CareCredit... damn.
--My feet hurt almost every time I wake up.

Work
--Got banned from watching my DVD player at work due to a combinaton of my stupidity and a customer with nothing better to do
--We are now monitered by phone... well those of us who work in booths have to clock in for the beginning of our shift, then out and in for our Lunches via phone. A phone, by the way, is all too often out of synch with the other clocks. it's bullshit! how can I arrive at 1:57 then check in and it'll tell me 2:01?!
--Speakers I normally have my ipod hooked to broke down, so I'll be stuck with my older crap-speakers with the wierd off-on switch, 'till I get new ones.
--Almost lost music privlages at work when a co-worker called the boss about my friend listening to his ipod at work. fortunately, the boss didn't really care. I swear.. that woman is probably worse than the other co-worker who sucks up '_';


Financial
--Rent has gone up now, getting harder and harder to help pay rent for the house... I let my mom know if it starts to get really bad, I'll increase the money I pay per month by $25. it's not much.. but I hope it'll help..

Personal
--Tablet broke, had to buy a new one which forced me to push back buying a bike

Love
--Still haven't gone out with the girl who asked me out. She keeps askin' me out then setting up, then disappearing on account of her sister. Ah.. a very complicated situation.... It's important that she sees her sister, but I'm kinna at a loss of what to do at this point.. Im trying to ride it out, but man... it's really confusing.


Hell, this crappy year's affected me even today! I woke up and felt great! then I got sick twice at work from the breakfast I made, (ingredients went bad), as I ate, I felt around my mouth and found my deteriorated tooth had lost another chunk, the fact I was worried about the tooth made me lost track of time and made me 5 minutes... oh excuse me NINE MINUTES, in phone time, late to work, then, I ended up in one of the worst rushes I've handled since riverdance... an hour and a half of just standing and taking cars as I tried to sort out paperwork and money for my co-worker's till the next day. when I got out for break, I was ready to strangle something.... Then, as I crossed the street (after seeing pedestrians in the middle of crossing the cross walk) I blanked out and came to to the sight of a car rushing at me, which made me freeak out 'cause I had no idea where to run! okay. either I followed some idiot pedestrians who were crossing at the wrong time, or I had a supremely stupid driver on my hands. I...actually thought I'd die.. 'till I saw the turn signal showing it was trying to get around me.... then, at around 4 PM, It finally cooled down... for 15 minutes... then I was getting random rushes 'till lunch. in addition, there was a concert starting at 4:30 and ending at 5:30... Thinking I'd be in the clear, I warned my breaker about the possibility of him getting rushed by the people getting out of the concert...then, I came back from break (at around 5:50) and anyone who... ]]> ~KonekoRyu http://KonekoRyu.deviantart.com/journal/19029815/ http://KonekoRyu.deviantart.com/journal/19029815/ Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:57:31 PDT oh, I prolly shoulda mentioned sooner, but I stopped doing requests a LOOOOOOONNNNG time ago after it stopped being fun. so don't ask!

Okay. wow. y'know, yesterday, I experienced a bus ride which could only be describe as surreal.....

Okay. so like I'm stting near the front of the bus, while the bus driver asked a wheelchair-bound girl what she was listening to. She got embarassed and said she was too nervous to say 'cause people normally tell her to turn it down (no loud music on the bus rule) He then got on the loud speaker and said "What are you listening too?"
She finally mentioned it was the Beejees (sp?) and they bothuddely had a long conversation about the Beejees while the driver keps singing "Staying alive" and trtying to hit that one really high pitch in the song. It was after that, when he started asking if she remembered the partridge family, and he began singing some of the opening. After that, he asked if she remembered the brady bunch.... some of the teens up front said they did, and the driver joked with them, saying, "naw you guys're too young to remember!" He then said, something along the lines of "alright, than do you remember the theme song?" They said yes and the driver began singing that infamous opening. Then they joined in. then pretty much everyone on the bus joined in and sang the entire song o_o; I almost joined in, but was well... embarassed.... and holding in a giggle fit '_';

when we got to the station, people were talking about how great that ride was. I still couldn't believe it. Total strangers all bursting into song on the bus '_'; that will be a ride I'll remember for a long time '_';


So! as far as all those issues with my health insurance and medicenes are concerned...

-Serevent Inhaler: waiting to hear back from doc's office on wether or not they sent them in... sounds like they may have sent them in, but didn't follow the instructions, so they'll be sent back... lovely... I actually realy dislike that office right now, since they've yet to return my damn calls asking what's going on.
-Depakote (Epilepsy meds): Forms Sent in, got approved, recieved 3 month's supply last week ^^
-Asmanex & Albuterol Inhalers: sent in forms to the doc, all were signed by the doc and sent back to me, and I sent them to the company thursday.
-General Health insurance: Got approved for a place called Volunteers in medicene. they go off of donations, and I plan to donate some as well... I mean... when I have the money...

As for life status in general, I had planned on submitting something to this year's Gold Digger Swimsuit issue, since I missed last year's, but.. damn.... I have almost no drive to finish the pic '_'; the face is wrong, and I have no clue what style to color it with. plus, it's due in by the 15th. So I guess it'll be 2 years without being in the Gold digger Swimsuit ;_;

And drawing in general? man. I'm now at the point where I'm dry on ideas and am forcing myself to draw by using that pose reference book. Well, I can't say "dry" ...it's more like my ideas have become too complex, and I don't know where to start on 'em.... so many dynamic pose ideas are trying to form into my mind, yet they won't stick... oy.... probably beause all the ideas look like scenes from My Air Gear manga '_';

I recently started to think about how my life's changed since I got this parking booth job... My sister says it's made me seem happier. To be honest, I can't tell... There's been quite a few good things I've had happen at that job... conversely, even more bad things... well.. for Shiggles, I'll make a List of all I can think of...

The good:
-Developing a social life
-Having money to actually go out with friends and help pay for the housings
-Making new friends
-More time to draw (well... sketch, hence the recent uploads)
-Being asked out (unfortunately, we've yet to actually go out due to circumstances forcing us to cancel)
-Discovering there's far more good people out there than bad
-Having new life experiences
-^^ free food from some places
-The cute girls '_';
-Becoming slighly less angry at the world


The Bad:
-Losing Health insurance
-Rent going up
-Losing Section 8
-Often too drained to CG or draw on the weekends
-Discovering there's far more bad people out there than I thought
-Dicovering that more than good or bad people, there's stupid people.
-Sitting in the booth on cold days
-Sitting in the booth on VERY hot days
-Gained some weight
-Eating less healthy (this fast food diet troubles me... I plan to get a bike this summer...)
-Developing what appears to be borderline OCD (is it normal to count the same 10 ones, or fives 4-5 times? or constantly tug a locked door multiple times to be absolutely sure it's locked?)
-A couple of my co-workers being asses.
-Increased stress
-Days when I can't draw or get too rushed by customers to get drawing time.



mmm... I've always had some form of OCD. Basically, I gotta touch every dish to make sure it squeaks, or feels squeaky (not smooth) ...could be related to my odd issues with perfectionism (everything's gotta be symetrical when drawing a character directly from the front!!) '_';

aaanyway, I've got lots to think about now... one more Patient assistnce form to send in, begin paying back student loans... cleaning the bathroom.. laundry... etc... I should NOT be up this late '_';

also DON'T FORGET THAT I ALSO UPDATE MY SCRAPS '_'; I think alot of people are missin' out.. '_'; the key word being think.

Well, after over a month of waiting, my connection is back ^^ well.. as in, I'm on DSL, but am wireless through my router. X3 this means I can..... Brawl online! > I tried a few matches last night, and the oly lag I experienced was during the first...... 10-30 seconds of the match, afte that, it was nice and chaotic as always >:3


in other news, the athlete's foot is mostly receded (as I know the masses love to hear about my big monkey feet) and the hunt for medical coverage has been.... bumpy. I'm supposed to turn in some forms today for my Serevent inhaler, and I turned in my forms for the epilepsy meds last week, however, my doc never got to signing them... so I gotta wait 'till at leasst next wednesday before they're sent out 'cause he's on vacation this week........... yeah... wtf...

I also have one more inhaler that I gotta get paperwork for, however, I thin I'm s'posed to wait 'till my next appointment... I'm gonna ask about that today, actually.....

mmm... what to draw today at work.... *wanders off*

got meds for athlete's foot
found 3 places that may be able to cover most if not all my med cost (still need to find coverage for my albuterol inhaler)
Still hunting down a cheap dentist
will be back online with DSL on the 3rd

..... that's about it.... hopefully I'm eligable for the programs I found.

..for now, I got some brawling with friends to do.... too bad they're afraid of using items.....

...wimps

got athlete's foot
got 2 mini cavities and one big-un, but no dentist I've looked into, that offers payment plans
got a mouth pain that feels like a cavity but is moving around through random teeth... likely a sinus problem

lost my health insurance (it ends after april) because apperantly making minimum wage makes you ineligable... had a nervous break down after getting the news this morning. gotta look into options.... my meds cost far too much per month for me to afford (Depakotes alone are $400, as opposed to the $480 average I make per check.)

untill that news, the week was a blast... what with playing brawl with friends, eating pizza, and seeing henry rollins, and finally getting green converse I've wante since I was a kid.. but then this.... it just beat the hell out of my good mood.

....mmm Ibuprofin's kicked in and killed some of the moving pain... I'm gonna bed now.

....I hate the collection system. I hate the collection system's wife, children, family, and all of it's forms... It is a useless system that does nothing but allow mass faving at a more rapid pace... I wouldn't mind if there was a way to turn off messages pertaining to collections, but, as far as I know of, there isn't. and now I come home every day from work looking into my inbox with over 100 messages, expecting a bunch of faves and maybe a few comments of feedback.. but no... my inbox is packed PACKED with messagess telling me that my stuff's been added to a random organized collection that I don't care about! Shit!


and before someone has the guts to tell me that I'm over reacting, or being a drama queen. I'm not. I'm not just ranting about this for myself, I'm also saying this as someone who's talked to others who hate this system! It's one of the reasons I'm becoming hesiant to upload! I've gotten used to the mass faving without feedback, but I don't need collections on top of it, and neither do the other artists!

Friday Night:
Caught the flu (I heard it's a deadly strain), suffered chills,

Saturday:
Ended up bed ridden with 5 breaks of throwing up and another set of chills that night. Tried eating buttered crackers, ate about half of one of those small boxes of club crackers and drank OJ

Sunday:
Remained mostly bed-ridden sunday and stopped eating completely, sticking only to OJ and an herbal remedy known as Oregon Grape Root,

Monday:
I was hocking loogies constantly, including a 10-minute straight finale at midnight, in addition, walking was still near impossible because I have asthma so I had to call in sick

Tuesday(today):
Called in sick once again! (non work days now seem boring... I'll never be satisfied) I couldn't walk more than 10 steps before my breathing got heavy.... well.. now it's 12:42 AM wed- oop! 12:43 wednesday morning, and now, I'm pretty much back to normal! ...well my breathing's a bit weak, but still tolerable.... I should be back to normal when I wake up tho- 12:45!- though...

12:47AM:
My health as yet to fully recover... but I'm hopeful.. the midgits in capes haven't found me yet, but I'm very cautious and I keep Kielbasas next to me as ammo... midgits hate Kielbasa

12:48AM:
Okay if you got offended by the word midgit, I will kick your ass. I like saying that word, dammit and I'll be DAMNED if someone's gonna tell ME HO-

12:50AM:
....I forgot where I was.... oh yeah.... I know I'm not the only one, but I have a guy at work who kisses WAY too much ass! How do I know this? Last friday (the day I got ill) my friend and I came back from subway, and were all set to sit in our usual eating spots at the
office. unfortunately, the co-worker I'm not too fond of (the one I mentioned some time ago who told lies about me consistantly being late from my breaks) was sitting at my normal spot, resting his feet on the table. I wasn't too bothered by it, as I was still ill and wasn't sure if I'd eat my meal.... my Supervisor then came in and told him (in her usual loud, intimidating voice... loud noises sometimes freak me out ) that people eat where he has his feet and almost nobody cleans that spot up, so he calmly removed his feet from the table. It was then that both my friend and my Supervisor pointed out to him that I needed to sit there to eat. (likely 'cause I was just standing there looking dumbfounded) again, I wasn't sure if I wanted to eat or not, but what pissed me off was his response, basically, he snapped at the Supervisor, telling her he was in a really bad mood and he wasn't planning on moving, 'cause he didn't wanna end up taking his pissiness out on someone at random. (He's told me he has occasionally done it to customers who do something stupid)

........and my supervisor....... walked away! WTF.... I hope she was plannin' to write him up or something! he can't be THAT valuable, that she'd let him treat her like that! I didn't even NEED to sit down, but, when he acted like that, I suddenly wanted to! Man, I was so pissed I just stared at the back door, reading some stupid note about how we'll need to check in and out via phone & computer every day, instead of a simple finger print reader...... That's when I heard he and the supervisor talking about someone who might have to be let go... and he then BRAZENLY FLAT OUT said "yeah, I don't really like her, she's pretty poor at her job plus, she looks like a Dike!" Then he started barking.... I swore I heard a second voice... It might've been my supervisor's, chime in with the barking ad start laughing... yeah... I was even more pissed, and trying desperately to keep myself from yelling "MY MOM'S A LESBIAN, ASSHOLE!!!"
fortunately, I didn't... I quickly checked in for work, said good bye, and went to my booth.

.... although.... I was highly tempted to steal his seat when he went outside for 30 seconds...... just to piss him off... however... well... I think ahead.... sometimes... and I new that litle punk was breaking me...

aiyah..... I'm becoming 2-faced like everyone else at that job... getting along with people in person, and bachin' 'em behind their backs... well... really, it's only that one guy..... I really outta look in to working at a book store.

well, 1:30 AM.... time for... ]]> ~KonekoRyu http://KonekoRyu.deviantart.com/journal/15884840/ http://KonekoRyu.deviantart.com/journal/15884840/ Mon, 10 Dec 2007 23:16:28 PST oh, I prolly shoulda mentioned sooner, but I stopped doing requests a LOOOOOOONNNNG time ago after it stopped being fun. so don't ask!

I'm sure you've been waiting to hear how it all played out... well, my birthday was pretty cool. not as awesome as last year's (what with the strip club and sex shops) But I enjoyed it.

The initial plan was to go to an asian resteraunt and eat one of them beef bowls, but... time constrictions happened and we ended up with pizza and soda (strangely, no cake... then again, my mom knew I only liked cheese cake and we couldn't afford it '_'; ) anyway, we played with my wii for like 30 minutes, then watched the futurama movie, then played with my wii some more, then watched superbad

as for my gifts? well, lessee...

-$10
-$26 from mom
-Wiimote
-Wii Chuck
-$25 gift certificate to best buy
-Gaming cheats guide (not sure why I got that one)
-2 Bleach GashaPon figures (I got Ichigo and Rukia)
-Bleach: Shattered Blade (Yeeee! get to play as bouncy rangiku and get a sore arm!)

supposedly I'm getting Rave Master volume 14 from one of my friends, but he hasn't been paid... same with my aunt. she said she was planning something, and that my birthday is actually this wednesday '_'; (yes.... my family is as odd as I am)

Intresting story behind the Wiimote thing, turns out, my mom, my sis, and 2 of my friends had it all planned out o_o; first, one of my friends gave me Bleach: Shattered Blade, then, when I was telling my sis about how we'd need a second Wiimote and chuck, that's when she gave me 2 presants. lo and behold, that's what was inside ^^ I thought the execution of that plan was the best part of that entire presant

Online, I've got some well wishes from friends, and even one pic, along with a renewed subscription, which I'm really grateful for, since I had no idea how to renew my own

as for the game, itself, well Shattered blade is pretty fun, you use the Wiimote to do sword slashes and the chuck to use bankai... my arm hurts like hell still, though... -_-; really, I wish the voices weren't so damn low '_'; but! on the plus side, I've unlocked Rangiku and orihime's 3D galleries... I get to zoom in on them in their fighting stances X3 the lecher in me is quite pleased... FWAAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

so.. yes.. birthday was good, and still more to come

So..... I called boss B to clarify the whole written up situation... I was left confused, yet I knew I was right...

essentially, I was written up because while I was late, I was apperantly calling in late too often.... I can understand the late part... but calling in too much?! wha?! aren't I supposed to call in if I think I'm gonna be late?! Looks like I'mma haveta stop calling the office if I'm gonna be late, and just call the booth.... so far, everyone, even the voices of reason in my life, have had the same reaction as I did... just... "whaaa?!" it's bad to let them know I'm gonna be late? I'm bad because I'm calling in late too often?

ah.... whatever the situation's over, and strangely, it put me in a better mood... slimjims and lemonade tasted unusually good today.. the cars were coming through at a slow pace, and I was reading the latest Air Gear Manga(Oh! Greats works are a serious inspiration to me) ............................................. then... 6PM came... I'd finished my lunch/dinner, and was ready to chill out and watch Futurama: Bender's big score... just then, cars started coming through.. first at a steady pace... then picking up... by 6:40, I was so irritated, I'd
lost my place in the show and just turned it off... there were too many people coming for the "art walk." Basically, it's a walk through a tiny art gallery.... as I dealt with all these people, I remembered that on event nights like these, the stupidest people I've ever seen in my life come out...

Stupid person types that come through

1. the people who come through the entrance and ask me if the parking is free and if it's after hours, despite the sign ahead of them that says "parking after 6 is free" (or something like that) ....in addition, the gate is open... it's fine when only one or two people ask me, but when it's 3 people in a ROW?! all behind eachother?! come on! these people HAVE to have picked up on it! this continued 'till 20 minutes before my shift ended -_-;

2. the people who come through the exit gates and try going through the wrong gate... (for people with key cards), despite the rather large sign that states which lane is for keycards and which is for people with tickets (my gate) man.. I can't count how many cars would start heading down the wrong gate, then swerve to my gate.. ai yai yai... hey.. I know there's alot of people who've never been in the structure, but wow.. they can't ALL not notice the signs '_';

3. people who go through the opened entrance gate, then come to my exit gate and stare at me... like I'm supposed to know wether or not they came in after 6... man! I don't remember every friggen car that comes in! no one can! and.... that stare! it's like the look on their face says "duuuuuuuuuhhhhhh...." seriously! you gotta be there to see it! the look is amazing! especially when they take an attitude with you about it '_';

4. same as above, but when they go through the wrong (keycard) exit... I had one guy get completely pissy at me, and when I asked or his ticket, he thrusted it out at me, instead of driving to my gate, despite what I'd told him. so I got out of my booth and snagged it from him. then he asked if there was a sign that specifies the lane he's supposed to drive out... without looking up, I knocked on the sign directly in above us... damn that felt good.

5. people who press the intercom button instead of the ticket button.... I think I mentioned this before, but in my booth, when you press the intercom button on the back entrance, the intercom in my booth lets out a rediculously loud beeping sound... needless to say. it's annoying... especially when people press said button over and oer again and even hold the button down... not noticing the fact that the button is under a speaker and theres another button next to it with the words "PUSH TO TAKE TICKET" fortunately, I've remedied this by putting leaving the intercom in my booth on.. that way, I just hear the feeble clicks as people press the wrong button repeatedly, only to hear their apssenger tell them that they're pushing the wrong button.

6. excess stupid peoples... not much to add here, but tonight... I... I couldn't believe what I saw.. a man and his wife drove in, and.... the man... he.. waved his hand over the keycard slot, thinking that that's where the tickets came from!

7. People who see me closing down, wi... ]]> ~KonekoRyu http://KonekoRyu.deviantart.com/journal/15828787/ http://KonekoRyu.deviantart.com/journal/15828787/ Fri, 07 Dec 2007 00:25:50 PST oh, I prolly shoulda mentioned sooner, but I stopped doing requests a LOOOOOOONNNNG time ago after it stopped being fun. so don't ask!

it's not faaaiiiiirrrrrr! The world is my enemy this week I swear!

I FINALLY contacted the boss (I'll call 'im boss A) and told him about what happened.... he said it was okay and I could bring the paper work over to the office when I came in... so... after a wierd morning of occasional siezures (from getting up early to call the boss) doing the dishes, freaking out because I misplaced all my PSP games, and waiting 30 minutes for the bus, (damn bus stop was WAY the hell off about the times they arrive) I turned the bag in, and told boss B (as boss A wasn't in at the time) the whole story..... he seemed understanding of it too...

SO WHY DID I GET WRITTEN UP?!

just 3 hours later, boss A comes in and hands me a write up from boss B basically, the complaint was about me being late... what I don't understand is, I called in first to let them know I'd be late, like I'm supposed to.. I know I've been really like 2 times, but not constantly! '_';

I can kind of understand being written up for the lateness, but I dunno.... I kinda thought calling in would help... however, what REALLY annoys me, is that the paperwork was listed as one of the reasons. THAT made no sense, since I was told earlier, it was no big deal. -_-;

When I flat out asked if I'd gotten myself in trouble, boss A said it was more like I was being told that I HAD to be in my booth by 2 PM. this wouldn't be a problem, but, what they seem to forget that they told me to check in at 1:45... and when I do that, I end up barely missing the 1:50 bus... so I have to take the 2 PM bus and I'm usually in my booth by 2:10... my co-worker doesn't care what time I'm in, as long as it's before 2:30... but the boss' opinion matters more.

Tomarrow, I plan to go talk to boss B, in person to find out about the issue with my paperwork and the checking in time.

.....another crappy incident from today... I got asked by one of the bagel shop girls to go to a rave on saturday... but I couldn't ;_;

"but why, Ryu? why can't you go?"

Simple, my little jive turkeys...

I. HAVE. EPILEPSY!!!! flashing lights are not good for me! ....plus I have my birthday party on saturday...

ah.... this weeks is gonna test my limits... I already know tomarrow'll suck... first week of the month? oh yeah... gonna get a rush from art patrons near the end of my shift... ALWAYS a blast.

I'mma go drown mah sorrows in vienna sausages and funyuns...

Damn... I began the day in such a good mood... yet, somehow, sending the day in a booth and learning to use a stupid credit card machine because some idiot decided people should be allowed to charge 50 cents to a card, then coming home to dishes you haven't finished, and realizing that, for some reason, you brought your till home with you, and all the contact numbers you had, spontaniously went missing, leavin you to deal with what may be an angry boss, really... sapped my mojo and mood...

last night, I predicted today would suck... and I was right... not even the few presents I got from my friends and family (the rest will be at my birthday party on the 8th)

well.... I'd rather have my boss give me a stern warning or something (it'll be the second time he's ever had to pick up something from me) than to deal with an angry co-worker who bitches at me the next day. -_-;

plus, my internet's been slower than it's usual 52k self... it's... killing me slowly...

....it's kinda scary how many SRPG games I own '_';
alot of th games not listed are ones I've beaten but haven't gotten the extras. '_'; ...and I'm not sure how many other GBA games I need to beat... in case you couldn't tell, my collection's pretty huge.. consisting mainly of Megaman games and RPGs..


Anyway, as for art... well.... I'm just gonna say it... I can't draw ^^ no... I haven't quit... I'm changing the basic structure I normally use so that it's more anatomically correct.. it's going fairly well, but, untill I have a good hang of it, I won't be doing any more real drawings... or should I say... my body won't let me.. at this point, the most I can post is another from the 700k series, and possibly more Ronnie Omakes..... my job has given me plenty to consider... I mean, since I've been on my job I've

Seen someone do crack in a bathroom, seen a bum stick his shoe over and on a hand dryer to warm it up, seen another bum stretch the front of his pants over and on the same hand dryer to warm his crotch, seen another bum use the hand dryer to warm his ass, seen shit encrusted (ENCRUSTED!!!! EN-FUCKING-CRUSTED toilet seats)... (all in the same bathroom I'm forced to use during my last break)

I've seen poorly-drawn swaztikas scribbled on an alley wall (fortunately, the walls got painted over) I've been the victim of a scam involving customers so cheap to geth out of paying for a $3.50 parking fee, they use their friends' pass or keycards, I've heard a number of break-ins, I've had some ass wipe drive by me during my lunch break and yell "nigger!!" I've been randomly groped by some teen girl with bad make-up (she yelled "bean dip!" and grabbed my innocent rocks '_'; ), I've been yelled at, and even threatened by a psycho customer who didn't want to pay 25 cents for a ticket (somehow we're now talking casually) and.... I've dealt with constantly breaking down toll gates in addition to a guy who breaks me who told lies about me behind my back and got me in trouble.

holy HELL that felt good to get off my chest!! oh man! huu! whenever someone online asks me how things are going, I normally say "okay" because I don't really have much to say.... typically, my days can be pretty damn eventful... what I've posted, is about.... oh.... 5 months worth of pent up crap a good chunk has either happened during my first month (being called "nigger" by a dumbass driving too fast for me to counter) or in the last few weeks (the guy going behind my back and lying about my actons on the job.... it's a pretty long story, and I don't feel like telling it all again '_'; )

well... at least I see alotta cute girls.... but I can't seem to gain the guts ta ask 'em out O_o;

congrats on reading this far
