birthday

~Nakeshka — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:43:02 PDT

Had my 23rd birthday it was great.
I went to the local wing place and ordered 100 wings! Wasn't able to finish them, I still have about 40 in the fridge.
Job is going well, even if I am a bit poor. Now I'll I have to do is pay the bills, pass math, and survive my wisdom teeth being removed X_X.

Car

~Nakeshka — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:37:11 PDT

Been trying to sell my grandfather's car. No one seems to be interested and if I don't move it every three days I get a ticket (city parking laws).
What the hell, I get a ticket for parking right infront of my own home?!

Any suggestions? I don't want to scrap it, it has a senitmental history behind it, but I can't afford to keep it. It needs fixing so I wish I could sell it to someone who will fix it up, and donating it seems too, well open ended. I would like to know what happens to it.
Sighs

Zombie Sleep and school

~Nakeshka — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 08:18:00 PDT

Been on a spooky semi horror binge lately, don't know why. I HATE horror.
Trying to pass math, I just need 2 more percentage points and I won't have to retake the class. Oh Lord help me pass.

Haven't been getting much sleep lately I think I'm worried about moving. I'm averageing about 4 solid hours a night and 2 restless hours give or take. I think I'm nervous about moving and my work isn't giving me enough hours.

By the way anyone interested in working on a short horror story with me?

HOOOOPE and then such

~Nakeshka — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:12:35 PDT

So I finally quit the job from hell and have a new job, though there is a one month trial peroid. I hope they keep me. It's cal Cuppy's it's really nice. The coffee and food is good, the atmosphere is more mellow (though it will hopefully get more jammin as people find out that we're now open and where we are). The boss is cool, the customers are nice (and tip well )
I'm just hoping Kroger doesn't try and cheat me out of the vacation money they owe me now that I put my two weeks in.

Also my three legged frog Fred died, and gave real literal meaning to the phrase "croak". A bit disturbing and gross really.

And for some strange reason there is a link underline my whole message. Don't bother to follow it it's just a larger picture of my dog drawing above.

More bad news

~Nakeshka — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 11:51:03 PDT

So the doctors say that my granfather may not make it through Sunday and I can't even go see him because 1. I have no way to get there (FL)
2. I would have no where to stay
3. School and my dad doesn't want me to see him the way he is now.

God, I can't help but feel that non of it's real, I mean the last time I saw him he was up and about.

And I still don't have a better job yet. Ugh, no one seems to be hiring, except for the cruddy lowpaying jobs. How the hell am I going to get a job that pays enough for me to move out in November. I don't want to live out of my car, it has no heat and my mom...I don't want to share a room with her, I'll go crazy.

On the bright side, I have a ton of wonderful designs once I get them scanned in. On the downside my scanner is wonky.

Sanity Fading

~Nakeshka — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 20:55:59 PDT

I reallllly need to get a new job. Over worked, underpaid, unappreciated:

I wake up to a call from work at 5am 0.0 telling me I need to come in cause someone was sick, that they called my yesterday. I never got that message and never agreed to come in, I didn't even get a "please come in, even though no one will be in the store to the foot of snow we got and sorry that we assumed you would come in even though we never got a message back saying you would." I mean what the hell, you mean because i live within walking distance you just assume that i will take any and all shifts you give me?!!
So not only am I rudely awaken and only have 4 hours of sleep, I never got a break cause "oh well we can't have you leave starbucks alone and there's no one else who knows how to make drinks, even though by contract you get one 15 min break for every 4 hours you work, sorry can't honor that."
Then to top it off, they make me stay an extra hour cause the other girl was late and I asked them what would happen if i left when i was SUPPOSED to and they said I would probably get fired.

Isn't there some law against that?!!!
I mean they're lucky i came in at all.

gahhhhhh I HATE my job, minimun wage isn't worth my sanity.

More people quit from work (thinking maybe I should take the hint and leave too) and no one wants to work at such a suck ass job. They keep giving more more hours when I'm in school full time, they don't pay me enough and I'm getting sick.
Uh yeah, it kinda sucks right now.

~Nakeshka — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:16:57 PST

Ok here's the story, my grandfather has cancer and almost didn't make it, but the doctors said if he made it through the night and responded well to the meds that he has a chance and GUESS WHAT! He's responding to the medicine well and might, might just pull through.

GRRRRR Pure outrage

~Nakeshka — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 13:14:54 PST

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH

Sorry to rant, but I just gotta.

You even have someone who you have to work with who does NOTHING, doesn't even pull their own weight, but you can't get rid of them because, though YOUR boss agrees with you, your boss's boss doesn't.
Good God, the woman I have to work with not only hates me, she's lazy, and complains ALL THE TIME.

If she's not complaining about someone else she's refusing to work with you. She was mad at me a few days ago and refused to speak to me. How the HELL am I supposed to communicate with her when she won't talk to me, and when I repeat myself to make sure she heard (cause I don't know, she doesn't even nod her damn head) she goes on a rant about how I don't need to tel her a million times.

She doesn't even stay in the work area, she's out exploring the store leaving me with all the costumers. If I ring them up she won't make the drink ( I work in a grocery store starbucks.)

I mean she was kicked out of the other areas of the store for bad attitude and laziness, upfront with the cashiers don't want her, we've even lost business because of her.

People have told us they won't buy drinks if she's working. No one likes her save the boss's boss.

And here's the worst part, and this is truly why, and I don't mean to offend people, but I swear it's true. The only reason she still works there (and the guy who oversees the in store Starbucks wants her gone and almost always what he says goes.)
1. Cause she's 1/4 of our staff. (yes we only have 4 staff members, counting me and the boss.)
2. (and this is what pisses me off the most.) It's cause both she and the boss's boss are black.

Yes people it's down to skin color. And now she's pointing fingers at us and calling us racist, because we don't want someone who's mean, lazy, and bad for business working with us.

Godamn I don't care what color she is, I honestly would like nothing more that to be friends with her and have her pull her weight.

And who am I supposed to complain to above my boss about this? None other than the lazy girl's staunch defender. WHAT THE HELL?!!!
You know she even goes back there to help her out and help her stay on task, but she won't never do that for me if I were screwing up real bad. I feel like saying "Hey since you help her all the time wanna help me close?" But no if I say that she'll find a way to get rid of me.

You know getting up a 4am and going in at 5am and having to clean up her mess from the last night as well as open does not make Ashley a happy camper. Why should I have to work twice as hard day after day to pick up her slack?

Oh and get this, after I clean up after this girl, the big cheese comes over and tells me she's gonna be watching my closes AKA I think you're just saying things aren't done to get rid of my pet!!!!!! O.O

A Thought Occurs

~Nakeshka — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 15:35:29 PDT

Perhaps it is not best to scare the customers. But some days it just happens.

Now I don't know how the rest of the world out there deals with being stuck at work all day, but I find the best way (for me atleast) is to deal reality a healthy dose of insanity. Let me explain.

I got up early this morning, before the sun even rose, and there I was at work, low blood sugar, grouchy as I am not a moring person, and over all hating being stuck in a box all day.
So I ate sugar, lots and lots of wholesome sugar.
Then the madness began. First I was singing, then talking to myself, and then I couldn't stand still. People stared and I laughed while strange thoughts occurred to me: what would happened if instead of using clear syrup for the whipped cream I had used the hot pink raspberry one? or If I farted on the intercom and hung up real fast, would they catch me? And so forth. And then I went home. (anti climatic huh?)

Well also one of my coworkers took home a giant coc- err rooster. They were no longer going to use as decoration, thus poultry jokes ensued.

Later I roller bladed to the library, only to find out they wouldn't let me in without shoes on. God danged it, I had on socks and a shirt, wasn't that good enough? (pants too...just for all you out there who think I am that crazy.)

So I wanted to ask, if I had shown up with shoes and a shirt on and nothing else would they have let me stay? Hmm? baring my tushy for all to see.

A new talent?!! And Birthday

~Nakeshka — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 09:20:38 PDT

First things that happened, but I never posted.
Otakon: it was awesome, interesting, huge, and maddening, as well as slightly disturbing.

I turned 21, had a party, got a little tipsy, and watched a movie.

Later I actually got drunk, personally I don't see what's so fun about it. I couldn't walk straight, talked (a lot) and got gigglely. (<- is that even a word?) Hmm let's see, what don't I do normally- not walk straight. Also it made me feel old. You see kids, right before you hit that good feeling, you feel all your aches and pains. So no need to say I won't be getting drunk for a long long time.

On to the exciting news.

I think I may have discovered a new talent. I can draw, and quite well with chalk. I'm not talking about people, but fish, birds, abstract, and kick ass designs. I will be posting them as soon as I can figure out how to access them from my sprint picture account. (I finally have a camera phone. Hurray!!

Note to self:
figure out how to change font size and add pictures to journal so it's less boring.

Otakon Otakon

~Nakeshka — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 20:06:34 PDT

I can't wait for Otakon. A group of 7 of us are leaving Thursday for Otakon. I can't wait, I mean I've been waiting a whole year, but gahhh I really can't wait. It's gonna be great.
I also found out I have a slight talent for abstract tribal tatoos. I really should scan all my new stuff in and put it up. It's pretty good compared to my other stuff, maybe in another couple of years I can be like some of the artist I admire here.

otakon otakon otakon wheeee

Cats cats cats

~Nakeshka — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 19:20:49 PDT

My cat ranaway a couple weeks ago and I haven't seen her since so I was really depressed for a while, set out a trap, put up posters asked around, saw her a few times but she ranaway from me, haven't seen her for a while now so that's why there hasn't been any updates. Anyway I caught 2 cats, a big black mean one, I let it go after taking it to the vet (cause he was hurt) and a nice gray female.
She makes me sad though, we still have her, but she follows my mom around the way Tia followed me around. I think she was owned at one point but no one seems to missing a gray cat.
The maintenince people where I live were keeping the sister of my cat and they gave her to me, she was nice and all but we didn't click, they couldn't keep her so she was given to another lady and they just love each other.
I think I'm gonna give up on cats for now. It's kind of depressing.
On the upnote...umm...dang I can't really think of one, but there must be one. Oh well, anyone one else going to Otakon?

yeah random I know, thanks for looking at my boring journal and listening to me rant complain and put shit here.

Taking Requests

Very MERRY Christmas

~Nakeshka — Mon, 25 Dec 2006 11:21:03 PST

Hey everyone, hope your holidays have been as good as mine. I got the two things I wanted most: an ipod and a scanner.
Yeah, now I can put up some of my more recent (better) stuff and not have it look funky.
Also my grandmother let me take my cat to her house in Maryland. My grandmother HATES cats but she let me. And my cat you ask? She's so well behaved, I think my grandma is falling for her. She was so cute, I stuck a bow on her and she was playing with the left over ribbons and wrapping paper.
Not much else to say for now, except you have to check this out, it was really moving and beautiful.

Cats, commission, names, oh my!

~Nakeshka — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 20:20:23 PST

Ok, where to begin.
I named my cat Tia, she's really affectionate now, if I don't pay attention to her when she meows she'll either try to climb up my leg *ow* or bat at my butt
I'll put up a picture of her as soon as I can get a good one, she won't stay still. I still need to catch her mom though.

Also my commsion is done. *yay* done by [link] My good friend. The commsion is of Melean and Daiki [link] , I think I might start up the story again and maybe change a few things. [link]
Thankyou again Sophy, you're AWSOME!!
I do have ideas for the next part of Organic Soul [link] , I've just been to lazy to write it and I got bored and started yet another story. I don't think I'll post it unless I actually make good headway.

I also have been practicing drawing more or less and think I've gotten slightly better at faces, I still suck at hair and expressions, but I'll get there (I hope). Still don't have a scanner and I'm not sure if I want to post my sketches yet.

New Kitty and Maybe Divine Intervention

~Nakeshka — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 11:03:51 PST

I'm soo excited my mom said I could keep the kitten I caught.

About a week ago her car wouldn't start, the battery was dead. Later that day my brother went to jumpstart the car and saw a tail poking out. Turns out there was a kitten in the engine, we got it out, but I couldn't catch it. I put food out on the porch and loe and behold there were two cats, a mother and a kitten, skinny and definately strays.
After about a week I was able to lure the kitten inside with some cheese. She's just the sweetest thing, still a bit skittish.
Now here's the thing, my mom HATES cats, but she's letting me keep this one, as long as I take care of it and pay for everything it needs and if it ruins anything its gone. I can't believe she's letting me keep it.

I named the kitten Tia, got her dewormed, vaccinated, have medicine for her eyes and some toys.
She has green eyes, long black fur with hints of brown (though the vet said chocolate colored cats are hard to find and that the brown my just be sun damage). She's about 12 weeks old.
I've never had a black cat or a long haired cat before this should be interesting. She's a jumper too so wish me luck everyone, I really want to keep her.

I have to have a bell on her collar so I can find her when I let her out of the cage. (don't worry folks its a large cage, actually its a large dog cage that we use for every animal we catch or need to cage. I don't want her wrecking anything of hurting herself when I'm not home. I've never had a kitten to keep before, only adult cats, though I have tamed wild kittens I never got to keep them )

I also need to catch the mother, the neighbor wants her, she's very small, a short hair tabby. She's so skittish, she wont show her face since I caught the kitten, but she still comes to eat the food I put out. Poor thing she's soooooo skinny.

Current kitten activities: exploring my room and being baffled by my fish.....CUTE!!!!

Just wanna say happy Hallow's Eve all.
Sigh, too old to trick-or-treat and nothings going on tonight.
No trick-or-treaters either, for some reason no one comes to our apartment complex, we don't even bother to buy candy anymore. *cries*
And its dark and rainy out. So here I am putting off midterms and watching National Geographic about vampires and Jack the Ripper.

Still Halloween is fun. So I hope everyone else's is better than mine.

Fun to watch, fun to listen, you gotta check this out on youtube.

~Nakeshka — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 21:46:09 PDT

About a weeki ago I had a dream where I was reading a very interesting book. I decided to try to write what I rememebered and thus started a new story. It's called Organic Soul [link]

I already have 3 chapters (? I think thats the right word) out. It feels like it has a life of its own, I don't even know what's going to happen. I'm actually having a lot of fun writing it.

It takes place in a world with two atmospheres. The Second Atmosphere is where most of the main characters are. I don't rally know what else to say, but if you read it please comment, lemme know what you think.

I'm putting Orange Eyes [link] on hold for the moment. I think I need to wait till that ones feels alive, I think I'm forcing it too much.

Life status: At the moment good
Awakeness: Its like 1 am, what the hell am I doing up?!
Health: was sick now better, well mostly
Job feeeling: with each sub I make, i think anothe brain cell dies
Money: feeling poor
education: School starts tommorow

can't think of much else to write, I think I should probably go to be now.

Life in general

~Nakeshka — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 13:37:54 PDT

Ok, yes I suck at journals, but hey.

Let's see, I still don't feel 20, but I think I'm okay now.
I need to practice drawing more...well at all really.
My story seriously lacks and I need to take another break, I think I really need to write it more for me than anything else. I do have written for what comes after the next chapter, but need to actually make the next chapter. I also keep getting side tracked by other story ideas, ones I should actually write down.

Other stuff, about 4 people quit at once at work and I had to take up the slack and my boss was being a jerk. But now he's FINALLY hired some more people.

Thinking I need to read up more on different stuff in the world and culture to have more base for my story.

Need to work out. Desperatly, I gained weight and have no muscle.
Need to clean my room, it ain't pretty trust me. *shudders* so much stuff.

Gonna sell some manga I have that i don't want anymore, but the used bookstores here only give you a dollar per book, so I don't want to sell them for that cheap. I'm thinking atleast 5 per book. Anywho if anyone is interesting send me a note.

Didn't get to go back to college because we didn't get enought finacial aid, so I'm gonna keep working and save up my money, take some online courses, etc...

*Sighs* so uneventful....

Also had another nightmare about going to work then it became real cause my boss called asking me to come in early X_X

yeah, that's all. For any who care I am alive and kicking.

Reflection and Birthday

~Nakeshka — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 11:38:24 PDT

Wow, tommorow I'll be 20. I sure don't feel that old, I still feel 17. I know it sounds silly, but my birthday tommorow scares me. It seems like life is moving by faster than I would like for it to, but isn't that what old people say? *sighs*

Onward to happy things, I should uplaod the third chapter of Orange Eyes tommorow. I finally got over my writers block *yays*

Yesterday was the Irish Festival, I got some cool things for my friends and myself. I think the best thing I got was a shirt that says on the front "I like to drink my pint in peace."
and on the back
"But you look like you're in need of a good beating, and I'm always willing to help a poor bastard out."

Yeah, its a short journal entry, and I should probably should make them on a regular basis, but hey.

Pirates ROCK

~Nakeshka — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 14:02:03 PDT

About 2 days ago I went to see the second Pirates of the Caribbean and it was/is AWSOME!! I won't spoil it, but I will say there were somet twists I didn't see and I MUST see the third one- yes there will be a third, it's a definate fact- when it comes out.

Also I am a complete and total nut case. I got bored and together my mom and I cut 8 inches off of my hair. It actually looks really cool, even if we did cut it with the kitchen shears over the bathtub.

I also got to go to work with my best friend. She wasn't kidding when she said she worked at the library from hell X-X The people there were nuts, the system used to organize things and put things away was, well it wasn't the greatest let's just say that. I'm being nice...honest. *sweat drop*

Got another drawing book, and finally send the belt purse to my cousin, meant to do that 3 years ago *woops*
Also found a great wooded area to hang out in right next to our apartment...well actually its been there the whole time, but (A.) I counld't find a way to get to it, steep hill and stuff, and (B.) I'm lazy, wish I had found it 3 years ago when we first moved.

Lemme think, yeah I think that's about all of my madness and randomness for today.

Notes to self:

draw more good stuff that I can post, or atleast as good as I can.
Make little mini about me thing.
Try to draw and ID thingy to post- lotsa color!!
Finish third chapter of Orange Eyes and post it.
Make self look color on DA... God I am pathetic.... ignore that last one

...Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something... oh well

Wait I remember! I will be turning 20 August 8th...wow I can't believe I forgot my own birthday... wow I'm turning 20 too.... so why do i still feel like I'm 17? X_X

I got my English name, Ashley, translated into Japanese: ashori!

a is pronounced like the a in father

e is pronounced like the e in edge

i is pronounced like the i in macaroni

o is pronounced like the o in ocean

u is pronounced like the u in truce

Constants are pronounced much the same way as English consonants.

Get your Japanese
name at Keiichi
Anime Forever!

Gee I haven't Done one in a while

~Nakeshka — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 20:22:14 PDT

Ok ok ok, sucky title I know. Anywho just to let anyone who cares know: I get to see Pirates of the Carribean 2 tommorow *yays*
*does happy dance* ....dance... dance....dance....pirate dance....

Also I worked from 12-10 and my feet HURT. Actually it wasn't too bad though, the guy I worked with is really fun... once he stops flirting with you. I think he flirts with anything female so to speak and he thought my mom was hot!! And he's only 3 years older than me!!! X_X
Ok now I know she looks good for her age- really good. She looks 30 and she's 50, but hearing him say things like he wouldn't "mind being her boy toy" is kinda REALLY disturbing!!

On to more randomness.
I need to continue practicing drawing more. I stop for 2 weeks or something and it feels like I'm starting from scratch. I do have a few doodles, but I am not posting them cause they SUCK.

Notes to Self: Draw more good stuff that I can post, or atleast as good as I can.
Make little mini about me thing.
Try to draw and ID thingy to post- lotsa color!!
Finish third chapter of Orange Eyes and post it.
Make self look color on DA... God I am pathetic.... ignore that last one

Back

~Nakeshka — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 21:12:34 PDT

I have 3 things to say, besides the fact that Cedar Point is AWSOME!

1. Everything is over priced at amusement parks.
2. Rollar coasters are good for getting over your fear of hieghts. After being dropped a 100 ft our balcony at home just isn't very intimadating.
and
3. I am now offically a roller coaster junky. We went on every ride except 2, one of which I had been on before- the Dragster. And the Drop Tower- I just don't like that uplift feeling you get when you're dropped for prolonged periods.

Hey did you know its possible to run out of adreniline. Atleast that's what it felt like. We went on so many rollar coasters that we ceased to get much of any thrill on the smaller ones. I'm still tired.

We also got one of those old fashion pictures taken, we dressed up like we were from the Old West, it was fun.
If I can get everyone to agree I will post it up here.

Rollar coasters *giggles* fuuuuuun.

Anyway, I figure it about time to finish chapter 2 of Orange Eyes. [link] Please read it and comment. I need to know if it's any good.

I also need to keep practicing drawing. I think my pictures would look a little better if I can work on facial expressions and coloring more, but again I think I should practice the bodies more before moving on.

Hmm now that I think about it I haven't said much about myself or what I am like. I've seen other people's journals and they have cool profile things written in. I think I should make one. Need to think on that one.

Trip Weeeeeeeee

~Nakeshka — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 07:34:41 PDT

Yay yay yay!
Why am I so happy you ask?
Many reasons. First I'm getting better at drawing, but still not at the level I want to be at.
Second- and this is the main reason folks. 3 days of rollor coasters. Me, my brother, my best friend, and boyfriend are going to Cedar Point!!
*dances* Also Have more of my story Orange Eyes written , but not in order so I can't post it.

Work

~Nakeshka — Thu, 25 May 2006 17:58:00 PDT

I just started my new job yesterday. It's interesting, sometimes fun. I used to work in a greenhouse and now that I'm home for the summer I'm working at subway.
Kinda funny really, I walked in to get an application, they were out but the manager was there and interviewed me. I was totally not expecting that.
Then he said if all went well when he calls my boss from the greenhouse he's like to start me as soon as possible.

So now I have a job at subway. Yum

Also I have decided that I will practice drawing this summer, maybe I can get good enough to make my own manga-doubt it though but it's gonna be my summer project.

I am happy that it seems like people like my wallpapers. Yes they are supposed to look like collages- *wonders if that's spelled right. Shrugs*

Please read my stories as well, I know I only have random pieces and I need to seriously work on my punctuation and that the story starts slow but I promise it will get good. Most of it is in my head I just have trouble with beginnings and stuff.
Helpful criticism is welcome.

Okay okay enough of my rambling.

Freedom

~Nakeshka — Fri, 12 May 2006 09:44:10 PDT

Ah ha hah ha hah!

Well not completely mom says I have to get a job this summer and I have to move my stuff back into my room. Which means I have to get rid of a lot and clean it. Wahhh I don't wanna.

And I have to give the computer I've been using al year back to my brother. It makes me sad I actually like this computer.

But this summer means ANIME!! ah hah hah hah hah I can watch as much as I want. Ha ha ha
