Hey everyone. I got a lot of really nice responses to my last journal... I wasn't expecting that! I just wanted to thank you all for being so supportive and forgiving.

Alrighty, enough of the drama. I need to start drawing again... I haven't done anything in quite some time. I kind of want to start doing comics again but to be honest I am terrible at staying on a schedule. Anyways I'm moving next week, but after that I'll try to come online more often. See ya's!

Apology

=Peppermint-Demise — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:03:56 PDT

| Friends | Art Status | Fan Art |

Okay guys, I'm back. Sort of.

I know I was gone for a bit longer than I said I would be. As much as I would like to say it was because I was too busy with school and life, that's not the main reason. In Europe, I did a lot of thinking. About myself. And no, it was not my usual conceited daydreaming. I started thinking about the things that have happened in the past year. The ways I've handled different situations. And most of all, the ways I've treated other people.

When I look back on this past year or so, I realize that I have not exactly been a good person. I suppose there's no need in candy-coating it anymore. I've been a terrible person. I've done horrible things to good people for no reason other than to have a good laugh or to make myself look more powerful. I always knew what I was doing was wrong, of course. But I ignored that fact. I had a small group of people I called ÂfriendsÂ who would praise everything that I did, and that was enough to keep me from acknowledging the horrible things I was doing. By the time I came to terms with everything, it was too late.

There is one person in particular who I'd like to single out. If you're reading this, you know who you are. I never had the chance to give you a real apology. Whatever I told you before was most likely a lie I told to weasel my way out of trouble. I don't blame you for not wanting to talk to me anymore, after all, what I've done is unforgivable. Either way... I'm so sorry. I was immature, stupid, evil... Instead of being an understanding friend and trying to help you with your problems, I got frustrated and gave up. Not only did I laugh at you behind your back, but I got others to join in. I took everything way too far... what began as a cruel inside joke turned into a malicious attempt to hurt you. I don't know if you remember the first fight we had... I hadn't gone completely insane yet, but I was well on my way. I never told you why I flew off the handle like that, but I'm sure you knew. I was jealous. You were my best friend, and I was jealous that you had made a friend you got along with better than me. Of course, I was always too proud to admit it.

I betrayed your trust on numerous occasions. You were a good person to forgive me so easily, and each and every time I would turn around and do something else to hurt you. It was not mischievous fun, as I had myself convinced it was. It was evil. I know I got worse over time... and so did my ego. I was so self-centered that no one else's feelings mattered to me. I was so preoccupied with my own self-worship that I didn't realize what a great friend I had. And because of that, I lost what was probably the best friend I've ever had. I know that there's nothing I can do to make it up to you. The damage is done, and I've broken your trust way too many times. I know there's probably no way in hell that you'll forgive me. But just know that I'm sorry... and this time I really mean it.

Well, after thinking everything over I decided that the best thing to do was to change it. I can't change what I've done of course, but I can change myself. My attitude, my personality... everything. And while I'm still not perfect, I know that I will never make the same mistakes I did in the past. So in short, I'm a different person now than I was then. I don't take pleasure in tormenting people. I don't think I'm God's gift to the world. I don't think I'm better than anyone. I do accept the consequences of my actions. I know I most likely won't get back any of the friends I've lost. Yes, it sucks, but it's a bitter reminder of what I've done. I'm sure there's a lot of you who won't believe me, and you have every right to think that. But I sincerely mean everything I've said here. Please know that I will not be rude to anyone... regardless of what has happened between us in the past. So if there's anything you wanted to talk about, please don't be afraid to.

Brb, Amsterdam

Anyways, yeah. Hope you all have a fantastic day.

Hey everyone! I'm on vacation right now in Maryland, and I won't be back for a week. I still am able to come online once a day or so, but not for long. I'm gonna be a bit busy starting tomorrow, adventuring and whatnot. Sooo I'm checking messages, but will just be deleting all the journals and deviations I get. So sorry, but I don't have the time to go through them all.

If there's something you really want me to see or read, just note me about it and I'll be sure to take a look.

Art Institute

Heya guys! I've been accepted into the Art Institute in San Francisco. I'll be in the animation program, and probably will start in October. I'm very excited... going to school in my favorite city studying my favorite thing.

Well yeah, just thought I'd share that with ya. I'm just glad to be finally done with this community college boringness.

What's up with all the fan art?

=Peppermint-Demise — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:47:14 PDT

| Friends | Art Status | Fan Art | Forum |

First of all, before I get attacked by rabid fans (which will probably happen anyway), I'm not against fan art. I even draw it myself sometimes. I just don't get why many people on DA draw ONLY fan art. They copy someone else's style and make up fan characters which they then try and call OC's. A fan character is NOT an original character. It's simply a ripoff of already existing characters. Whatever happened to originality? Instead of putting all that effort into obsessing and copying someone else's work, why don't you develop your own style and characters? I guarantee you, it's much more rewarding.

Fandoms also tend to kill pretty much everything they come in contact with. They take things like Happy Tree Friends, which is supposed to be about random violence happening to cute animals. Then they come up with horrible fan characters and start fighting over "Omg FlippyxFlaky FOREVAR!!!" "NO U SUCK! FLAKYXMOLE!111!!1" or some other godawful pairing. Between the unnecessary drama and badly drawn porn (then again, this is the internets so there's an abundance of that), it really ends up killing whatever it is the fandom is obsessing over.

I'm sure this won't be changing anyone's mind. I've seen fan artists break away from their fandom and become amazing artists by developing their own style. I know I'm not the best artist, or even that good of an artist. But I do know that whoever you are, you can do much better by being original.

Animation Tutorial and Video Editors

made an animation tutorial for her friend. At one point the program she was using repeated the sound, so it sounded like she said "THE TWO IMAGES, THE TWO IMAGES" Being the jerk that I am, I had to make a parody. Enjoy.

I also use Video Spin for stuff like that, but unfortunately my free trial thingy ran out and I can't make mp4's anymore. Not cool. Does anyone know of a free program that lets you save your projects as an mp4?

Contacts 'n Art School 'n Stuff

=Peppermint-Demise — Fri, 22 May 2009 00:09:31 PDT

| Friends | Art Status | Fan Art | Forum |

Woot! I finally got my contacts. And apparently, I can successfully get them in and out ALL ON MY OWN! Of course, there's a lot of whimpering and writhing in pain involved, BUT STILL. These are hard lenses, not wimpy little soft lenses for little girls like you all wear. Hahaha just kidding, I WISH I had soft lenses.

Anyways, I was talking to about the Art Institute, which I wanna go to. I looked at the one in Denver a year or so ago, and it was pretty awesome. My dreams were shattered later that day when I saw how much the school cost. BUT I may be able to get a grant, because I'm independent and poor and all that jazz. If I can, I am totally going to that school.

Anyways I have gifts to finish and comics to work on. And a sudden spark of interest in Coffee and Cream. But my mind tells me that if I tried to work on it now, I wouldn't go through with it (like everything else I try to do). SO it will have to wait. GIFTS. I have gifts to work on. People are always making awesome things for me and here I am churning out like one or two pictures a month. I suck. So there will be gifts.

Anyways, sorry if I'm being hyper. I'm just super happy I was able to pry those torture devices from my eyes.

Okay, I know I've been kinda inactive for a while, especially when it comes to art. And it's not like I don't have time or anything, my schedule is extremely flexible. So I've decided that I should be drawing more. Practice is good, yes.

I've got three things I'm drawing right now.
Fred the Baker for
Panic and Quick for
And my fursona for me.

And I'm also trying to come up with more comic ideas. I've already got a few, but they need some working on. Man, my brain ain't exactly... effective when it comes to things like this.

Anyways, I'm going to start practicing backgrounds something hardcore. I know I've asked you all for tips before, and I got some really good answers. But now I am asking for moar. Plz to help? :3

Well hey. I was bored and feeling quite OCD-y today. So after cleaning my room obsessively numerous times, I decided to purge my friends list. I was watching almost 200 people, and barely talked to most of them. So yeah, if I suddenly deleted you I apologize, I either don't talk to you enough or deleted you on accident.

I have to admit I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing.
If you're an acquaintance of mine and I deleted you, just let me know the terrible mistake I made and I will be sure to fix it.

Hey y'all. I'm gonna be going to visit my family in Colorado for the weekend, weather permitting. If not, I'll be enjoying a "free trip to Tahoe because like... this rich girl's never been there and you're the only one with a car". Okay that may be exaggerating the quote a bit.

Anyways, regardless of snowstorms in Colorado, this weekend shall be interesting. Not to mention I've got an analytical essay on the American Gothic painting to do. This English class has been 95% analyzing art and it's starting to grind my gears.

I'm a cartoonist. I don't like analyzing paintings. I only like analyzing things that make me lol. D:

I also just realized I have an art trade to finish. I am truly sorry to for being so forgetful.

Holy crap the next page of Vole Wars is like 50% done. Never thought I'd actually get myself to do any work! I'm going to finish up the last two pages real quick-like and then practice my background drawings because I... can't draw backgrounds.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Song of the South and other shenanigans

I'm at work right now. On the computer. That's because it's naptime. I like naptime.

So... it's good to have an income again. I don't feel so terrible when I spend money now. I got a season pass to the Boardwalk and lately I've been looking for any chance to go. That place never gets old, man.

Anyways Fred was talking about the Splash Mountain ride at Disneyland which reminded me of that movie Song of the South. So then we embarked on a quest to find it. It's banned or something, isn't it? Because a DVD of it is a very rare find. It's a great movie. Anyone who says it's racist is overreacting. It's such a happy movie that teaches good lessons about outsmarting your enemy, even if they are bigger and stronger than you. Good times.

Well apparently naptime is over, so I must skedaddle. Back to work.

April Fools was boring. Nobody fell for my awesome "Omg I'm preggers" joke this year. And DA's joke was not hilarious like it was last year. It's only hilarious when someone bawww's.

On a lighter note, my birthday is on Sunday and I'm super excited. Gonna be 19... I'm so fricken old. And school starts next week... YAY. I'm so bored of this spring break crap. I'm already ahead in spring quarter's schoolwork. So yeah. Maybe I should draw something soon. I still want to finish the Vole Wars comic but I totally don't know where I put it.

Now that I have seen what it's like to have a life, I totally stopped caring about drawing. More into music and writing now, but I will not bore you with either of those. XD

I'm signing up for my classes for next quarter today, which means all my spare cash goes towards classes and textbooks and a parking permit which means I have to let my subscription die. Ah well, school is much more fun than... fun.

Family Tree

I'm trying to research my family tree. I am having trouble finding reliable sources. I found myself on one of those family tree sites. It came up with the right birth place and date, however it thinks I died in '97. That's news to me.

Does anyone know any way I can go about researching this? I prefer not to spend money, and I can't ask my family itself. Alas, they are mostly dead.

Woot!

Mission accomplished.

I am back guys, but I probably won't be on as much as I used to because I have work and school and honestly I realized that the life of a recluse isn't for me. In my job searchings I realized how awesome the world is. I may soon go back to being a great adventurer like I used to!

On a less awesome note, insurance is a ripoff. They're all "Oh you just got glasses you don't need contacts." And I'm all "Years of allergies have made my cornea an unusual shape therefore I cannot see even with glasses." And they're all "Too bad betch!" And then they ran off with my money, giggling. Bastards.

One of the forum mods. He is awesome and has a very unique style and makes pretty funny comics. He also makes awesome animations!

One of the forum mods, and my bestest friend in the world. She is always very nice and funny. Her characters are cute, and she writes a lot of stories.

Fred the Baker! He draws really cool characters and also has a unique, kinda dark style. He's going to start a comic series soon, so take a look!

Kyrie is always up to some sort of shenanigans. She has a cool retro style and also is very good at writing.

His art and comics are cool, and his sense of humor is hilarious! He is also fun to talk to, and very nice.

Android Squirrel is a pretty cool guy. Eh draws furry-ish art and doesn't afraid of anything. He is also pretty funny. Whether he's trying to be or not, I still don't know.

She draws adorable characters and loves mongeese! (mongooses? sp?) She also has cute birds.

Natty is awesome at art. Her drawing style and characters are very cute... she is also nice and fun to talk to.

Alas, nobody caught it. You dodged that bullet again Brittney, way to go!

Hahaha I kid, I kid. I love making gifts for you. You guys are great. Yeah...

So anyways I totally haven't drawn anything but Nancy in a while. She is so fun to draw, especially when she's spewing blood. Hurrrr. I had exams today (did better than last time, methinks) so that means I don't have to worry about studying for like... another couple weeks. SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

Moar time for art. But for now it's time for TV. Art can wait.

So like this morning I came on DA and had about 50 journals in my inbox about this "DA Virus".

First of all it's not a virus so stop being sheep.

Second of all I'm going to stop watching the journal of the next person who posts a virus awareness journal.

Third of all don't get butthurt because I'm joking you retard.

10k Coming Up!

Catch it!

Anyways I am still having trouble finding a job. I am living off ebay and babysitting money, and I have a $400 car insurance payment coming up at the end of this month. Which I may not be able to pay, so looks like I'll be riding the bus for a while. >:U

What an adventure it will be.

Hey guys I may not be on so much for a while. I will be busy desperately trying to find a job and seizing the day. But I'll still try to come on once a day or so to check messages n' stuff. So yeah.

Catch it!!

Also we've got more members on Anything Cartoon now. You should look and/or join. XD

Also I've already got a few requests for trades, so I'm not gonna be accepting any more until I get these done. :3

Also, I just purged my friends list. I was watching almost 200 people and it was killing my inbox. I only deleted people I never talk to, so if you're an acquaintance do not worry.
I also stopped watching some "famous" people, because I'd really rather look at my friends' art than popular people I never talk to.

I forgot to name this journal. Hurrr.

Hey guise!

Seeing as how it's impossible to find a job right now and I've figured out other ways to make money for the time being, I've decided to start accepting art trades again. Look at my art status to see. :3

Also, a dead forum has been revived.
Anything Cartoon... mainly for cartoon/comic discussion, but you can pretty much talk about everything. You can even do that self-promotion crap everyone secretly likes to do.
So yeah, feel free to join.

Stitches

=Peppermint-Demise — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 22:20:23 PST

| Friends | Art Status | Fan Art |

I have a lot to say.

- I got my stitches out today. I took it like a man. It did not hurt. >:3
- They closed my favorite taqueria in San Jose. NOOOOOO.
- Rachel Ray reminds me of Flapjack. But instead of adventure she likes food.
- I am angry that art schools cost so much, therefore I refuse to go to one.
- I swear to dog I will get these trades done today or tomorrow.
- Andrew was bragging about some famous dude that went to his school so I decided to be better than him and found out that Jhonen Vasquez and Steve Jobs went to my school. They're both famous, right?

That is all.

Exams and Lara's Animation

=Peppermint-Demise — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 22:49:06 PST

| Friends | Art Status | Fan Art |

Yayy exams are over! I think I did pretty well in Anthropology. Not so much in Psychology though. But ah well, I'll do some extra credit and study harder for the next one.

Anyways, I'll be getting these trades done, and will be accepting new trades/collabs/whatever in the next day or so. I will also post the next page of the comic soon too. Woot.

Also, I'm getting my stitches out on Thursday. I will probably be drugged up on painkillers, seeing as how squeamish I am when it comes to that sorta thing.

One more thing... I voiced an animation with and . And Lara animated it! Look at it, guise. [link]

Announcement of the Utmost Importance

=Peppermint-Demise — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 00:43:11 PST

| Friends | Art Status | Fan Art |

I would like you all to know I have the memory of a goldfish and the attention span of a flea.

I feel bad now because people are all "Hey let's do an art trade." And I'm all "FGSFDS NO". I've been busy lately especially with exams coming up on Tuesday. I promise to start doing stuff again by the end of this coming week.

Also guys, I don't do requests. I will make surprise gifts for people every now and then, and I don't expect anything in return. I just don't like doing requests. Requests are stupid. DX

I've also got some projects I'll be working on in the near future with these guys:

Woot!

Anyways, yeah... very sorry to the people I owe art trades to for taking so long. I promise I'll get them done soon!

Life is so lame... yay!

=Peppermint-Demise — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:56:40 PST

| Friends | Art Status | Fan Art |

Life can get so stressful. I think I'm too relaxed sometimes. Like right now, I should be panicking about my exams next week and being emo about the economy like everyone else. But right now I'm like... whatever. I still can't find a job... I put in my application pretty much everywhere and I've called all these places back. Everyone is either laying off, cutting hours, or not hiring right now. So I've been living off ebay money.

It's great. There's no hours and I made like $30 yesterday. I know, amazing right? I'm so rolling in the dough. But yeah, I need to focus on school. I should be depressed about how much life sucks, but... I really think I stopped caring years ago.

In other news, I saw this hilariously bad ad while checking my email the other day, and had to make fun of it. [link]

Hey guys, my 8k is coming up. As usual, whoever catches it gets a request.

In other news... AHHH I HAVE EXAMS IN BOTH MY CLASSES NEXT WEEK. FGSFDS.
And I'm not ready for them yet. So I'm probably going to be studying all weekend, blah. I think I'll do better in anthropology because the topics the psychology exam are on are just so... damn... boring. I really don't give a shit about the medulla oblongata, or its stupid little friends.

Anyways, I'm going to the doctor today. He's going to look at my wrist and replace my bandage. The pain is pretty much all gone, so I will probably start drawing and stuff again now. Which is great because that means now I have another thing to procrastinate studying for, hehe.

COMMENT and I will...
1. Respond with something random about you.
2. Tell which song or movie reminds you of them.
3. Pick a flavor of jello to wrestle you in.
4. Say something that only makes sense to the two of you.
5. First memory of them.
6. What animal they remind you of.
7. Ask something that you've always wondered about them.
8. Tell your favorite thing about them.
9. Tell your least favorite thing about them.
10. If you play, you MUST post this on yours. (You don't have to do it, I honestly don't care. )

I'm Back!

Woot! So I got there this morning and everything went just as planned.

I had to wait a while before going into the operating room, when I finally got in I was all excited because it was just like one of those ER shows. But then they gave me the anesthetic and the next thing I knew, I was in the recovery center and the surgery was over.

For some reason I felt compelled to ask the nurse if I was naked, and she laughed and said no. Then the drugginess wore off and it was pretty boring from that point on.

So now I've got that big effing pillow I was telling you all about earlier that I gotta wear on my arm to keep it elevated. God I'm typing so slow, I can't wait until I get to take it off. XD

Surgery yay!

Hey guise!

I'm leaving for my surgery now. I've never had surgery before so I don't know what it's gonna be like and I'm very excited. So I'll probably be on later tonight, I dunno.
But I can't eat or drink anything until after the surgery and I'm so fricken thirsty. DX

Yeah, talk to you guys later! Weeee!

Guess which friend you are! (Update)

17. You are one of my IRL friends and playing DDR with you at the arcade at the movie theater was always so fun.

18. I met you here on DA and you work in a movie theater. Not the one I play DDR at though. Also your comics have an awesome storyline. XD

19. I met you on DA and I'm pretty sure you're a professional animator. Your animations, characters, and art are all so cute!

20. I met you on DA a while ago and we used to draw Mr. Crappy a lot. Your comic series that you're starting looks very cool, can't wait to see more!

|Friends | Art Status | 100 Theme Challenge | Fan Art|

I went to the doctor today. He said I have wrist cancer and they're going to have to give me a bio-wrist. Pray for me, guise! I'll be on the internets through my DS all throughout the surgery so don't worry, I'll still be able to reply to your messages!

Yeah I'm kidding. I'm such a horrible person.
So basically the surgery is like some boring 30 minute thing, just removing my cyst. And then I get to go home and sit on my ass for 3 days and eat chips. I'm not gonna be bedridden, I just refuse to leave the house with that huge effing pillow I'm gonna have to wear to keep my wrist elevated.

I guarantee you I will not die or go into a coma or magically be diagnosed with ass cancer or some other thing that DA dramawhores like to do. I'm a pageview whore, we're two completely different things. >:3

Art Trades and Weird Dreams

=Peppermint-Demise — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:17:21 PST

|Friends | Art Status | 100 Theme Challenge | Fan Art|

Heyyy everyone! I actually went to sleep AT NIGHT for once in my life. It was amazing, but I don't see why people like the day so much to begin with. That's when all them stupid kids come out and blast music out of their car stereos. But yeah.

I'll be working on my art trades today, hopefully I'll be getting them all done. I don't have anything else to do today, haha.
I'm not accepting any new trades at the moment, I've got schoolwork and surgery this week so I don't wanna overwhelm myself.

Anyways, I had this really weird dream last night, and I think it means something...

I was lost in a jungle, and I walked into a clearing where a tiger was. I was afraid at first but then I realized he was friendly. We became friends and he helped me out of the jungle, and we ended up in a city. Eventually, the tiger became famous. I told him I missed hanging out with him and asked if we could go back to the jungle, but he said he enjoyed being rich and famous too much and told me to go away. I was sad. The end.

What do you think it means?

Comics? In MY gallery?

=Peppermint-Demise — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 07:14:51 PST

|Friends | Art Status | 100 Theme Challenge | Fan Art|

Holy mother I just sketched out a nine page comic thingy... and I actually finished it. And it's not TOO godawful. This is a new record for me and I feel very proud of myself for finishing something for once in my life and my hand hurts now.

But I actually plan to post them, once I get done coloring and whatnot. It's starring Peppermint, ChocoCoati, and Taffy. I got to develop their personalities and relationships with each other while I worked on it, that was fun. Especially the Peppermint/ChocoCoati relationship, haha.

Man, it's been a fricken long time since I've made comics. I miss this.

Sick

Ahhh I am sick. This morning my throat kinda hurt, and I was starting to lose my voice. Like an idiot, I went to San Francisco anyways and ended up getting sick. So yeah, I'm hoping this goes away soon. I hate being sick.

The good news is that my suitcase and computer got here today. So now I have clothes and my good computer.
I'll be working on my art trades today, seeing as how I won't be leaving the house. Weeee.

Also, my 6K is coming up here soon. Let's hope only ONE person catches it this time. XD

If anyone else wants to make an avatar for me, I'll draw one of your characters in a group picture. I can't have too much on my plate right now. :C

OLD STUFF
Thanks to everyone who's doing the avatar art trade thing with me! I'll post them here as people upload them. Don't worry, I'll get around to using them all at some point.

The one I'm using now is by . Thankies!

Art Trade? :3

=Peppermint-Demise — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:54:37 PST

|Friends | Art Status | 100 Theme Challenge | Fan Art|

I fancy a new avatar, but I don't feel like making one myself. Lazy, I know. So here's the deal. If someone would be kind enough to make one for me (of Peppermint, please) I would be forever grateful and would gladly draw one of your characters.

Basically I'm asking for an art trade.
I'll probably be finished with the two things I'm working on for and by tomorrow, so I'd be able to get to work on it then. If more than one person wants to do this, that's totally cool... seeing as how I change my avatar like every week.

I hate airports

=Peppermint-Demise — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:19:26 PST

|Friends | Art Status | 100 Theme Challenge | Fan Art|

So I'm back home in California now. The airport sucked more than usual yesterday. There was literally a line to get in line to get in line for the Southwest check-in. I couldn't even see the end of it. So I said "screw that" and ended up giving my suitcase to my mom. Which means that I have to wait for her to send it to me. Most of my clothes are in that bag, too. But oh well, at least I have my laptop.

That's the last time I travel during the holiday season.

Boringness/Contest?

|Friends | Art Status | 100 Theme Challenge | Fan Art|

Boringness
Well, I'm going back to California in the morning. I'm gonna miss Colorado, but it will be good to go home. Monday I'm not doing anything, and Tuesday I don't have to be at school until 6 PM, so I'll try and get some of the gifts and art trades I'm doing done. I'm glad school is starting... I've been so bored lately. I'm taking my classes online so I have more time to work, and I only have to go in to school like twice a month for exams.

Contest
I'm thinking of doing a contest of sorts in the near future. I have no idea what it will be about. Your thoughts on this matter, please.

Casa Bonita and surgery yay!

=Peppermint-Demise — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 02:41:07 PST

|Friends | Art Status | 100 Theme Challenge | Fan Art|

Well I can't sleep... again. But that's no big surprise, hehe. Tonight we are going to Casa Bonita (yes, the one from South Park. ) It will be super fun, then we're going to the Denver Zoo. Weee fun!

Anyways, I've been working on some of the requests I'm doing. I've got all three of them sketched out, but I can't color them until I get home. So they all should be up by next Friday. Maybe a little later, since my classes are starting and I still need to find a job.

God, there's so much I need to do in these next few weeks. Surgery is the icing on the cake.
I've got this stupid cyst on my wrist (hey, that rhymes!) that I need surgically removed. And no, don't worry, I don't have cancer/AIDS/insert deadly disease here. And I doubt I'll slip into a coma or anything.
Just a minor surgery. I'll be glad to get rid of this thing, but then... I DID find out that a cyst is perfect for rubbing my eye. God I'm so gross. XD

So yeah, hope you guys have had a good year so far and whatnot.

Happy New Year!

Anyways, I'm gonna be in Denver for New Year's Eve, and I'll be home on the 4th. My classes start on the 5th so I'll be pretty busy with those and work. So I think I'm gonna be taking a break from DA right now. I'll try and come on at least once a week, but I don't think I'll be able to reply to everything. So yeah, I'll talk to you all later. Have an awesome New Year's!

OLD STUFF

As usual, whoever catches it gets a fun treat.

Aka a request.

So screencaps, people. Screencaps! I dodged the bullet last time because no one claimed it.
