1) I have stopped dolling. The reasons are varied but sufficed to say I was sick and tired of being the only mature adult in many of the forums I belonged to, and of the same old people taking all the awards in any given contest. Yes, I realize that many of those folks are very good (and that I don't have half their talent or equipment), but ultimately it just boiled down to a popularity contest in the end and I was sick of it!

2) I have moved on to making non-digital art. I have been making jewelry, mostly necklaces and ear rings, and the occasional key chain. If I ever get around to taking pictures of them I shall post some.

3) I've been applying to grad school at USC and getting my stuff together for that: due, and turned in, by Feb. 1, 2009.

4) I have a suck-ass job that a monkey could do where I get paid shit. I'm a cashier at Kroger, again. I don't like it, but I need it because I've got to pay off medical bills (both mine and Ryun's) and to get very expensive, organic food that wont cause me to bloat and double over in pain after a meal.

5) PAIN... my worst endometriosis symptoms are back including horrible periods that start and stop when they want to, fainting spells, mood swings, fatigue, and pain in my joints, muscles, and major back.

Btw. Happy V-Day!!! And, yes, I mean Vagina not Valentine's!

I don't really believe in New Years Resolutions, so I make them anyways and never really actually do them. This year though I've made a very simple one... GRADUATE!!! As I plan on doing that anyways and am on track this one I should be able to keep.

Much lub,
Amanda

P.S. The thing I am "obsessed" with would be my husband because he's gonna leave in less than a week!

I'm sitting in Ryun's office waiting for dinner that I'm gonna get to have with a bunch of math people...

Wish me luck!
Amanda

And besides that I am all excited about my wedding in 2 weeks!!!

Much love,
Amanda

P.S. For those of you on facebook I finally got talked into getting an account.

Besides that lets see... I started school on Monday and I've already dropped my Spanish class. I dropped it for two reasons: 1) I have a heavy work load already with Feminist Theories, Human Evolution, and Birth & Parenthood. 2) The teacher was rude... she made fun of me 'cause I can't roll my Rs and because I didn't know how to answer her when she asked me what other classes I was taking. I mean if you don't speak Spanish, and haven't taken it in 3 years, like me, how the hell are you supposed to know how to say the names of my other classes?


OH! I almost forgot to mention... his parents got me a car as a wedding gift! And I'm getting my license so that I can drive it someday.

That should be about it for now,
Amanda

That's another thing I'm freakin out about... I start school on the 20th, and I still haven't gotten grades for my summer classes yet. I hope I did well, but I'm not 100 % sure what I got. I'm on the border of A's & B's and I really need A's to get into the Honors Program so that I can do the research I want. I'll shut up now... I mean it isn't like anybody reads this thing anyway.

Also, during this whole thing my dad was hospitalized because he was bleeding internally and when he "went potty" (as my sister, Victoria, would say). He is out now and they said that he'd be ok, but that he can't eat any kind of nut or seed because they were getting caught in some holes that were in his intestines and colon.

Lastly, school is trying to kill me! My women and religion teacher gave us a 10 page paper that was due on the day of the USSF opening march! Needless to say, mine was not up to par... it was only 7 pages and was half-assed. On the plus side I still made a B on it!

So yeah... I'm not dead after all that! I've just been busy and I hope to not be for the rest of the month so that I can spend some time with Ryun before he moves.

XOXOX,
Amanda ]]> ~Monkey-Manders http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/12955258/ http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/12955258/ Mon, 14 May 2007 15:47:03 PDT

I also found a wonderful pair of shoes that I REALLY want for the wedding, but the only thing is that they only had them in black and white and I need them in gold or cream which would match my dress. The lady at DSW said that I could go online and see if I could find them there in a different color and size because nobody carries a freakin’ size 5 or 5 ½ anymore!

Lastly, I QUIT! Yeah my job was really starting to suck after the new manager wrote me up at least once every single weekend since she started there about four months ago. I gave them a months notice, but they took it as two weeks which really screws them over because they are going to be begging people to work while all the teeny boppers are on spring break the next couple of weeks.

--->> You can ask me for any character (2 dolls max per entry)

--->>You must give some ideas and maybe send me some references of your character. I need references or at least a detailed description.

--->>You MUST duplicate this offer in your own journal and make 10 dolls/drawings/sketches/linearts for other people too. (I'm not expecting you to do it again if you've already done it or something similar.)

Thanks to jacks-revenge for making my character, Sybil, from an X-men forum I belong to. ]]> ~Monkey-Manders http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/10116551/ http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/10116551/ Mon, 18 Sep 2006 20:56:45 PDT ~Monkey-Manders http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/9787195/ http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/9787195/ Sat, 19 Aug 2006 21:52:07 PDT ~Monkey-Manders http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/8077582/ http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/8077582/ Sun, 05 Mar 2006 18:54:17 PST ~Monkey-Manders http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/5369439/ http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/5369439/ Mon, 16 May 2005 00:11:07 PDT ~Monkey-Manders http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/4807642/ http://Monkey-Manders.deviantart.com/journal/4807642/ Mon, 14 Mar 2005 04:19:36 PST
Well, the weekend ended on a good note for me and Ryun... Ryun came over to my house Sunday after he got off and we hung out for a bit before I had to go to work... that was an okay time... he was really boared though...

I love him, SOOOO much!

umm... if this must be art related... then umm... well... that would be why I didn't do much art this weekend... yeah... that's it... ]]> ~Monkey-Manders
