]]> ~TawnytheFox http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/20944022/ http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/20944022/ Sat, 11 Oct 2008 21:08:36 PDT And so I was like "Ooh a show?" And I clicked it. When the picture popped up I did a double take when I realized that MY photography was in the bulletin. NOT ONLY THAT, but it had been edited (poorly of course) and she had made it into a FLYER of sorts (that didn't even have showtimes and dates, BAHAHA)...

At that point, I was just about oozing anger out of my pores. Not only is this girl annoying, but she's editing my photography, POSTING IT, and not even ASKING ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Even though she IS, in case I didn't mention this before, annoying, if she had ASKED me beforehand, I would have said yes. But now that she didn't bother, if I find any of my work plastered around AGAIN I am going to open up a can of serious WHIP-ASS.

The Casual Fridays are also ending up on my last nerve. I gave them the message saying I don't want my old artwork ending up on their merch because I thought that it wouldn't give the impression of the work that I can do nowadays (if people see it and the Casuals point at me, odds are they're not going to come to me because the work really is poor). So they ended up selling t-shirts with old, old, old, BAD, drawings. While I appreciate that they liked them, and the fact that they sold all of them, I don't appreciate that they might have indirectly harmed any business opportunities.
Ever since this new graphics guy came to town people are coming to him more and more. It's harder to find people who are interested in my level of expertise and it's quite frankly depressing.
I'm considering shutting down my little graphics ghetto. Especially after I see how little respect my work gets... I've seriously busted my ass for these guys but I don't seem to be getting anything in return.

I finally realized the importance of my grades... the real importance. But at least, I wasn't too much of a slacker. My cumulative GPA is a 3.5, which isn't that bad. But if I get straight A's this whole junior year, I will have a cumulative GPA of 3.7. Hello good colleges.
To add to that, I made a smart move in avoiding study halls like the plague, and I only have to earn 3 credits my Senior year.
So basically, if I can get over this huge hill of 11th grade, so many more doors will be opened for me. I can spend my senior year attaining scholarships, entering contests to pad applications, and getting a job.

Problem is, I know I am not straight A material. But, I'm sure as hell going to give this year my all! I know what I want, and I'm still at the point in my life where the sky's the limit. I'm going to have to make a lot of sacrifices, including putting my graphics website more to the side, putting deviantART on hiatus, and lounging less on the weekends.

Thankfully, the old adage that we reap what we sow proves true in many cases. And I'm pretty sure that mine falls under those cases.

Anyway, I wanted to update my journal since I haven't in forever...
Not much is new, except I wanted to show you all this awesomeness:


Hell yeah... oh, and summer band tomorrow, yay!

By the way, I'm avidly spreading the word of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: [link]
... Figures I post this the day the free viewings ended. Hahah... augh. Anyway, if you're not a cheapskate, go ahead and buy it on iTunes.



I'm buying the episodes tomorrow to put on my computer, woot-woot!
Neil Patrick Harris =

And... I'm going to bed. Tomorrow's going to be a fun day with my mommy !

I'm thinking of changing my college plans now so I can go to a university nearby her, so she doesn't have to be alone.

Anyway, Snowstorm was an 11-year-old Samoyed, and she was beautiful even in her old age. She loved life until the very end, even when she said goodbye today she was smiling and wagging her tail happily despite how sick she was.
I'd appreciate prayers for my mom, because she is really the one that needs the prayers. Snowstorm is in a better place, but it's still hard for my mom to be without her.

Thanks for readin' y'all.
Oh, and on the awesome side... my Warped Tour tickets came today in the mail, my dad has informed me. I'm very exited about that... I'd be yelling and stuff but that would be kind of bipolar in a sad journal.

I suppose I did alright on my finals, though at the time I was past caring. I was sooo happy when we got out, though I feel like I am pocrastination on something to do.

But now I'll have free time to have some fun and take some trips... whoo!
Also I can work on the webcomic Meridian Robot Bear.



It's run by and ... I'm just an extra character in it, but I do some of the comics.
So check it out!! :]

CAN SHE DO IT?

...

_Maybe.


Oh and also.... I had a really interesting dream. If anyone here is like... good at interpreting or something.... maybe they can tell me if it means anything. It was just so peculiar. Here's how it went down:
I was in a very large, dense forest by myself. I don't remember exactly why I was there, but there was the feeling in my gut that I was on a mission of sorts. A very important one, possibly to save someone (at least, that's what it felt like... specifically, to save a small child... don't ask why). The forest floor is entirely covered in ferns, and since I'm kind of a small person I had problems stumbling through the large plants.

As I trekked on, I came across one of my guy-friends (for the sake of MySpace, he shall remain anonymous). I was relieved to see him because I was a little scared alone in this dense forest. I stopped to talk to him, and I don't even remember what we were talking about specifically... but we were talking about each other. Then suddenly, I kiss him very lightly, very shyly on the lips. He didn't protest, and the kiss deepened but then suddenly he pulled away, looking at me with wide eyes. He stepped backwards a few large paces, then turned and ran off.

Well, what do you think eh?
I do happen to have a crush on this guy but I'm not sure if I should tell him or not. What I'm feeling is taboo in the first place. :/

LIFE'S A DRAG SOMETIMES YEAH.

Check it out everyone, it's pretty sweet~!
Especially if you are one of those artists who works who likes to get in that daily bit of practice, it can help a lot.

]]> ~TawnytheFox http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/17719033/ http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/17719033/ Sun, 06 Apr 2008 16:34:34 PDT Turns out my job is not going to be enough to keep up with everything. I was planning to save up some money for college, but turns out I have to buy my own stupid car. So I'm taking commissions BEFORE May 1.
So, without further ado...


PAYMENT METHOD...
I'm sorry, but right now I don't have a PayPal account (though one is in the works). I'll give my address to anyone interested in a commission; that is if I don't suspect you to be some creepy pedophile. If you note me out of the blue and I've never ever even heard of you before, odds are you're not getting your commission. Sorry to seem anal about that, but I prefer to air on the safe side when it comes to giving out my personal information.


I WILL/WON'T...
I WON'T draw nekkid people, unless it's tasteful/not detailed. None of that hentai/yaoi/yuri crap. I'm sorry, but I strongly dislike all of it.
I WON'T accept my payments after I deliver the product. I'm sorry to seem like a jerk, but I've been screwed too many times by too many people that said they would pay me and never did. We all know that saying; "A few rotten apples spoil the barrel." Anyway, point being, send your money whenever you want me to get onto it.
I WILL draw your furry/fancharacter/fursona. I'll do pretty much any kind of fanart that you want me to. I can also draw a logo for your band/business or anything of the sort.
I WILL give you the commission for free if you are dissatisfied with it. By dissatisfied, I mean that you feel like you really didn't get your money's worth.
I WILL send you your traditional work, but I will have to ask an additional $3 for shipping (this is only if you live in the US... sorry my foreign friends).
I WON'T take more than 5 commissions at once... this is just so I can pace myself and I don't get overwhelmed. I highly doubt I'll get 5 commissions off the bat anyway.


PRICES...
Disclaimer: Please pardon some of the quality/oldness/lack of these examples. Some of them are hard to find in my gallery. XD

Sketches-- $5.50 [ Traditional ]

It's super late, I just got home from work. I didn't get to finish my room; the bedspread isn't washed... so I'm going to just sleep without anything on my bed tonight, lol.

Oh, and I decided that with my next paycheck, I'm going to buy a deviantART subscription. That way I can make my journal nice and pretty and put pictures and get thumbnails and stuff. I'm active enough on here again to make use of it.

And also, I've decided that starting May 1, I'm going to take Commissions. Only problem being I may not be able to get a PayPal. But that is still in the works. I know some people don't mind sending me money snail mail. Either cash or check is fine with me.

On the downside, I've been fucking up at work lately. I was late one day because my dad called me really late and said he couldn't drive me so I had to walk to work. Then on Sunday I was sick, and fell asleep until after my shift started and when I called in late I got written up. And today I showed up late because I didn't know my schedule until I had to pick it up, and then it turned out it was 5 minutes before my shift started and I didn't know.
And they say if I fuck up one more time I'm fired.
Great way to start off my first job eh? I almost cried. I hate feeling incompetent more than anything in the world.
All that stuff was my fault. I should have compensated the walking, not slept in, and tried to get my schedule earlier in the day.... so I know that if I'm fired, I deserve it.

Either way, I don't work at all this week, so I don't have to worry about that until next week.
Just pray to God I don't have to work the night Streetlight Manifesto is in town. That would be a tragedy.

And also, I found my scanner today so expect some TRADITIONAL WORKS!!! *gasp*
I definitely want to get started on doing traditional stuff again. So yay!

So... that's pretty much all...

ANYWHO, so, I have a list of things that I need to do over this lovely spring break, and I'm writing them down so I don't forget them.

1. Liftdown's MySpace Layout
2. 's Contest
3. The letter "M" of's Alphabet Project
4. Deep clean my room
5. Fix 's hoodie
6. High-School Band T-Shirt design
8. MVCS Basketball Competition T-Shirt design
9. The picture for The President's New Clothes


Alrighty. Oh my god work was INSANE today! People were waiting all the way around the building in line just to get custard.
Who in their right mind sees a line going all the way around the building and gets in it. Seriously! So we ended up closing like 30 minutes later than we should have because people wouldn't go to Dairy Queen or somewhere.
Oh, and the first time I worked the register, the first order I got was 3 plain hotdogs with mustard and ketchup in little containers on the side, a chili dog without the chili (???) and a dog with mayonnaise and sauerkraut.
Why do we even serve those things?? The smell of sauerkraut makes me want to throw up.

Anyway... I dunno why I'm writing this.

Oh, happy Good Friday to everyone. I hope you got it off, and if you didn't, just remember what Jesus did for you because he loves you.

By the way. I was thinking of having a contest. Would you enter if I had one?
And I'm also thinking of starting commissions. A good way to make more moolah. Would you commission me?

Dude, I love you. And your art is amazing, amazing, amazing! Never doubt your skills and talents, because you're so talented it's sad to hear you put yourself down. Have more faith! You're a beautiful person and a great friend, and you'll get a lot out of life if you keep up the hard work!


So, you're rad Nikki. The first time I ever viewed your gallery I was blown away. I'm very happy I got the opportunity to know you, because you're kind and most of all hilarious. I hope our friendship grows as time goes on, because you're a really great and talented person!


I love your artwork. It's such a joy to look at. I admire how much good work you produce in such a short time; a skill like that will take you far. Don't let the fav-and-run-ers put you down, because you're far too good of an artist to let those people affect what you do! And of course, you're a sweetheart.


I remember when you first got into art. And now you've surpassed me by far. Your realism is something to shake a stick at. XD I am honored that I could have helped inspire one of the greatest artists I know. And, you are a true-blue 100% friend. It's hard to find people like you nowadays.


Stop being so talented, damnit. D< Haha, jkilu. <3 But seriously, you've come so far as an artist. And, I'm still blown away at your writing, music and everything-else-on-the-whole-planet abilities. Seriously, where did you get it all? There's nothing I can think of that you're not good at, besides constructing homemade atomic bombs. But then again, I can imagine you catching onto that pretty quick...


I have a million loves for you. You've always been so kind and when we hung out all the time it really was like you were my mommy. <3 Haha! You've helped me through a lot and I can't thank you enough! And you've inspired me as a photographer because your photography is beautiful. I miss you mommy.


YOU are AWESOME! It was such a great twist of fate that we were able to actually meet each other. I can't wait to hang out again sometime, possibly in the summer. So many memories, huh? And of course, your art is great. I'm not really into the whole Transformers thing, but I have a feeling that next time around you'll be changing my mind.

Uh, kind of an immature journal before anyway, so it's best to get it off of my front page.

ANYWAY, I am stoked about the musical we're doing. It's not amazing or anything, because there are only like, two actual talented people in the play, but we're all trying really hard and the effort showed in our dress rehearsal tonight.
I look like a total rude girl in my costume, I have a tuxedo jacket, a skirt, a checkered fedora and a white tie. AND, I also play trombone in it whenever I'm not on stage!
Yeah the multitasking is pretty tough, but it's certainly nice to be able to do both so I'm not missing out.

Anyway, opening night is tomorrow, so pray that it's going to be awesome!

...

And that I don't die. I'm so tired. XD

At this point, I think I'm past caring. There isn't anything more he could possibly do that he hasn't done before.

Though it will be nice to have an excuse to walk away; to be the villain for once.

Revenge is childish, but it sure would feel good.

Last night I pulled an all nighter. NOT such a good idea before a concert. I could barely make any sound out of my trombone today. And what sucks is that in our ensemble, we're all fully responsible for our own parts (aka I'm the only trombone), so I really feel like I dragged the band down and I felt pretty bad.

People are telling me I look really tired all the time. I hope that this period doesn't last very long. :/
Needless to say, I haven't been able to do any drawings, but I have several I am sketching inbetween classes that I'll have for you guys.

And some giftarts too! Keep an eye out.

It's really strange to see the progression I've made going backwards.
And I used to use emotions for EVERYTHING! Holy crap.

Anyway, just random reminiscence I thought I would share with others.

]]> ~TawnytheFox http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/17001488/ http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/17001488/ Thu, 21 Feb 2008 22:44:24 PST Then again, my boyfriend's parent is slightly racist.

Anyway, I'm pretty much wiped out. I've been working 5.5 hour shifts every night this week, getting home at at least 11 at night (and it's not wuss work, it's mopping, dishwashing, serving food, preparing food, constantly until the two hours of dishwashing). On top of that, two hours of homework. Can you say exhaustion? Not to mention there's no gap between school, musical practice, and work.

Thank you God I don't have to go back there until next week.

That aside. I have some new stuff I've been working on, and a self-portrait I'm rather proud of.
Been making decent money off of TAC Graphics, I've made at least $50 in flyers and logos and such. That's not too bad.

Alright, I'm outta here man. Geometry, Biology and then sleeeeeeeep.

For those of you who know what Caliche's is, that's where I work. It's basically custard, hot dogs and nachos that are served there... it's a lot of fun.
And the plus is it's all you can eat, so I can just make myself a freakin' amazing hot dog if I'm bored. However, this will be bad for my resolution to be healthier.
I think I'm just going to abstain from free food and drinks as much as possible.

Oh, and Happy Late Valentine's y'all.

Ugh can things ever happen at the most inconvenient times.

I had a meeting with a client today at the university. The reason it was at the university was because I can just walk to the university from my school. Since I can't drive, it's pretty convenient.

I woke up this morning and I could barely breathe my throat hurt so much. I decided I needed to suck it up and give the ol' college try today. I had a lot of work to do and such and I couldn't afford to spend the day in bed.

What sucked is when my client showed up, I was practically dying. My voice was raspy, my head was pounding and I was getting cold shivers down my spine.
I called my dad after the client left, and he told me just to stay put and he picked me up.

I came home and had a 102 fever. Fantastic.

So tomorrow I have a paper due and practice for a musical, and I can't go to either.
Why me?

I also have a show in Roswell I'm supposed to do a photoshoot at and my camera suddenly goes missing in action.
UGH!

On the up side, there are some Casual Fridays bumper stickers my family bought that I designed that came in today.

They're SO COOL! I was so happy when I saw it.

]]> ~TawnytheFox http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/16726148/ http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/16726148/ Mon, 04 Feb 2008 15:59:49 PST
Well, as the title of this journal states, I went commercial with my small graphics business... well, in a sense, but it's still exciting! I was plugged in the local newspaper with an article for the Casual Fridays for my photography and artwork (which was exciting to see in the newspaper).
And I was also on the radio the other day for a brief interview about my album artwork.

While it's exciting, I wouldn't get too excited because I still consider myself to be riding on the Casual Fridays' coat-tails. But someday I'll break out of that, I'm pretty sure.

I'm doing all sorts of things. This weekend I'm going up to Roswell to shoot two live bands and I have a meeting Wednesday about a flyer commission for a big shindig at the local University.

I'd say I'm doing pretty well for myself... so far.

Probably millions. I think it's either the case that I love to be different, or I never really liked football in the first place.
Hmm. Maybe if a band I really loved played at the half-time show I would watch it.

I don't even know who's playing this year.

What are your thoughts on football?

]]> ~TawnytheFox http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/16279879/ http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/16279879/ Sun, 06 Jan 2008 02:16:10 PST Anime is also going to be a seldom in this gallery, but I don't feel like dropping that style completely.

It's very hard to be an artist besides a fanartist. The support level that you have drops significantly when you don't have a given fanbase to appeal to.
But that's the way I want it to be: hard. I want to use dA as a utility for my artistic endeavors. I want to network with people who appreciate my talent as much as I appreciate theirs. I want to meet like-minded artists who are as bent on improvement as I am. As open-minded as I am. As original as what I am trying to be.

What I want to be is a well-rounded artist. I want to study photography, study painting, study penciling, study it all. It's what God gave me the most as a talent and I want more than anything to use it the best I can, to please Him and the others around me.
I see artists like and and I think so highly of them, because they have built a name for themselves out of what they are themselves. Their originality is second to none, I mean just look at their style! They're so talented. (Sorry if either of you reads this and is embarrassed or anything, but your work stands out a lot to me).
On top of being a well-rounded artist, I want a style that fits me. Everyone says cartooning is really my thing, but I still am a very amateur cartoonist. Realism appeals more to me anyway, so why not try to improve in both?

I didn't mind being just a plain old fanartist. At the top of my fanartist game I was getting over 900 hits a day. Now I do admit I'm a very dormant member of the dA community, but I've never managed cyber-life and real-life well. I was a pretty popular person among the Sonic community here.

But what I really want to be is a graphic designer, as many of you know. Or at least, some of you know.
I realized that being a fanartist wouldn't look good on a resume, nor would a bunch of drawings of furry critters in a portfolio. That's why I want to expand my horizons so badly. Of course I realize that this kind of work involves digital works, and I am practicing up on my Photoshop skills as well.
As a large part of my practice I have become a very involved contributor to the local music scene (particularly the ska scene) in my town. It has definitely helped my improvement, but I know I'm very amateur at that still. I believe that the fact that local bands are coming to me is a miracle in itself, but without their support I wouldn't be along half as much as I am now. So for their support I am very thankful.

Digression aside, the main point is... I'm moving on as an artist. Towards what I want to be, what I think God wants me to be. I'm going to expand my artistic horizons and push forward for improvement improvement! And I'm leaving behind the whole fanart ball and chain.
So long fair-weather watchers!



Oh, and while I am at it, Resolutions for 2008.
Okay, so I didn't keep my resolutions for 2007. But it was only to not be fat anymore, and I do believe I am over calling myself FAT, per say.
So without further ado,

2008 RESOLUTIONS
1. I will not neccessarily lose weight, but will start a diet and lifestyle that is healthier for me.
2. I will fellowship with other Christians more to strengthen my relationship with people and God.
3. I will see Reel Big Fish live in concert. And the amazing Scott K... ;D Yummy.
4. I will see at least 3 other non-local, touring bands.
5. I will spend more time with my loved ones, as best as I can.
6. I will improve on trombone and bass guitar!
7. I will expand my artistic horizons, and begin a portfolio.
8. I will keep my grades B- or higher. No C's allowed!
9. I will learn one kind of other dance besides the 2-step, the macarana, the jitter-bug, or skanking.

Either way, hope that this year brings you all kinds of joy and you get the gifts you want. But also don't forget Jesus is the reason for the season folks!

Have a good one.

As you can tell I'm not a very productive person.
I've been getting into poetry. I'm an emo kid.


Ahaha, I picked up trombone now. So now I am learning trombone and bass guitar. But seriously, trombone is the best fricken instrument out there.
And I also have an outlet for my obsession, a win win situation.

It takes Tanya a while to get things, and it has taken Tanya this long to realize that she should not be pressured to so tightly maintain a deviantART gallery, and will maintain her deviantART gallery in her own sweet time.

This means that yes, art trades and requests will take longer without me being around to breathe down my throat. Sorry guys. That's just how I'm going to roll.

For those of you who like to pry into my personal life, the reason that I left deviantART for the time being was serious issues with my relationship.
Essentially, I was dumped for someone else and it ripped me apart, but the other girl turned out to be a jerk and he came crawling back to me and I took him back, and that's my horror story of the day.
Looking back kinda makes me wanna shudder. Partially because of how horrible it was, partially because of how horribly I handled it.
But at the time it was nothing less than a hellish nightmare.

No relationship advice plzkthnx.

Alright, well I'm back. More or less.
Physically but not mentally would be a good way to put it.


HAND drawings are in the works because I know my photography sucks. I draw a lot but the issue is getting off my lazy ass and scanning them.

Long weekend this weekend, maybe I'll consider it.

And I have to work on picking it back up again. I am absolutely uninspired and the thought of even picking up a pencil is out of the question.

So everyone who made requests and art trades with me, I know this is selfish but it will have to wait.

I'm an absolute wreck right now.

I've lost 10 pounds, simply from not being able to eat. I cry and I have never felt so helpless in my entire life.

I've reached a dead end, and I have to take my leave for a while.

I'm sorry.

Well, May got a deviantART some time ago, but she has been telling me lately to advertise her in my journal. But as my dA header says, I'm a pocrastinator.

But now I am here, telling you to watch my good friend May.



Oh, and a note to those selective watchers... you know who you are... she does anime/traditional work mostly, not that much anthro/Sonic.
Just so you know.

But those of you who don't mind, please go watch her! She's an absolutely amazing artist, and she needs more publicity (even though she's going to be more popular than me someday anyway. D8)

And anyway, I'm back from ~DNAngel7's house and the Arts Fest is over. Well it actually ends tomorrow I believe, but my mother wanted me home.
I had a very good time with her. I'm going home in about two weeks, and I need to see her more. D:

And those art trades are in the works people.

Oh, and, drum roll please...

*drum roll*

TANYA GOT...

*DRUM ROLL*

PHOTOSHOP!!
*pops open bottle of champagne sending cork flying out the window and causing several consecutive car crashes*

And I hope everyone notes the new deviations I submitted. <3 I'm actually happy with them. And as for Art Trades, *RelientK-nux's is coming up next! Maybe tomorrow or Friday.

And I'm also gleed at this Casual Fridays project I spontaneously decided to start. It's helping me ease my homesickness a bit. It's also exciting since it's my first bunch of Photoshopped for real pictures! Whoo!

I owe :dnangel7: a googleplex thanks for lending me her software. ;_;

Oh yeah, and the point of this journal, ARTS FEST STARTS TOMORROW. I'm excited to start... it's supposed to be hot but... oh well. I'm New Mexican right? I can take this east coast heat. I hope. I'm never around during the summers when it's the hottest.

But here I am rambling about home, when I really should be going to bed so I'm not lying asleep on the streets tomorrow like a homeless person.

So, goodnight all! Or good morning... if you're on the opposite side of the world.

What does that have to do with the airshow?

Well needless to say, I'll be leaving, and I'll only be gone until late Saturday. So you basically won't see any of me tomorrow. But since I visit deviantART so often I thought I would just let everyone know where I was going.

So, take care.

I love Pennsylvania and all but I miss all my loved ones in New Mexico so much. And I'm missing out on a lot of memories and friends since some are seniors and not going to my school anymore, going to college, etc... so I won't see them.
And my God no one knows how much I miss ~Salem213... He even came to the airport to say goodbye to me and I cried my eyes out. I know I shouldn't complain because it's only two months but he means so much to me and I just plain hate being without him.
I should be stronger about it but it just strains me so much that I've given up trying to squelch my feelings of missing him. So I guess if I do, that's that and it's because I love him anyway.

I feel rotten for wanting to leave but I really think that it's kind of pointless to come out when my mom has moved to a different town from where we used to live and I don't know anybody here so all I can do is sit around all day anyway. I love being with her but she's at work every weekday so in all we get about 3 hours with her since she gets off at 4:30 and has to travel a little more than an hour to get to our house. Since she wakes up at 5 she goes to bed at like 8.
I love her, but this isn't worth it. I love my mom and that's why I even went this summer at all.
I'm with her two months out of the whole year and out of the two months, she's probably only here one-third of the time.

I mean seriously, the highlight of this trip is being able to stay with ~DNAngel7. I seriously love this girl and she's still one of my best friends even though she's so far away. I'm so excited to do the Arts Fest with her this year... but other than that there's nothing else to look forward to!

I appreciate my mom's efforts in finding a good job and providing a good home, but I really think it's time that she moved on.
Job opportunities are so meager here compared to the ones being opened up in New Mexico. Especially in places like White Sands and Holloman AFB. Those kind of jobs are exactly what my mom wants, not to mention she qualifies.
But I don't understand why she just won't bite the bullet. I've been talking to her about it for half a year now and all she's said is "I'll think about it."
She also mentioned being afraid of my dad but honestly, what's he gonna do? My brother and I are both legally old enough to choose custody ourselves, and my dad's not going to take us away or something ridiculous.
My mom has been away for four years and she's missing everything. She's missing being a mom and she's missing me and my brother growing up. She's missing memories that she'll never make up for. It makes me sad thinking about it.
She'd be so much better off close to us. And we could be there to help her and she could be there to help us. And my mom really has had a hard past four years. In fact they probably could not have been more crappy for her.
I think that leaving Pennsylvania behind would help her move on and make her feel more peaceful. Because so much has happened to her here and she passes by places that remind her of Tom everyday and she barely makes enough to get by. Going to a new place and meeting new people wouldn't make her forget her hardships but methinks it would help to lessen the pain.
In the end all she has is us now. But she doesn't have us because we're so far away.

I don't get it why she futzes around. She even wanted to move to Alaska once. So what, we can be even farther apart? And there is no way in hell I'm being dragged up to Alaska for the summer! Same for South Dakota. If you're going to move, move somewhere where it's worthwhile.
Either tell me you're going to move or tell me you're not going to. It's that simple.
And I'm contemplating not coming next summer except for maybe like, two weeks. Because I don't like the separation and she should be motivated more to do something about it. And if it means I have to take a drastic measure like taking myself away, I guess I have to... because I don't see any other way I'm going to make her see.
And that's not even a good solution. But I'm so helpless. Honestly, what else is there that I can do? I've talked and talked but I probably shoud just do.

Sorry for ranting. But I just needed to get that off of my chest. I've been carrying it around as emotional baggage for a while and it was getting to me last night especially. I was crying at like, 3 in the morning and I couldn't sleep... but I felt a little better by telling myself I would write about it the next morning. So here I am, dropping my emotional baggage.
No one likes to carry that stuff around. ~TawnytheFox http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/13421452/ http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/13421452/ Wed, 20 Jun 2007 15:35:33 PDT

Remember. Taking three at a time, first come first serve...
I don't have a scanner at the moment so all requests/art trades will have to be Oekaki... sorry...
Unless you're willing to wait for a while, until I can finally get one. Maybe at ~DNAngel7's house or something. Either way...

Just comment/note me and let me know what you want. Anime or Anthro, it's all good.

Well I rounded up some old stuff... and like, two new things... and bombarded your messages with deviations. And feedback is appreciated! D:

I know it's not normal stuff for me to submit but I would really appreciate the support on it. I'd like to know that I'm more to people than just a Sonic artist...


Now, if no one minds, I'm going to get offline and get some exercise.

Well, school ended around the 24th for me... and I dunno what else to say. I'm going to get everything better soon... just give me time.
I have a lot of drawings I wanna do.

Anyway, I'm in Pennsylvania now. So I'll hang with Angel a lot... I need to call her and ask if I can see her on Friday.

Talk to you later. Thanks for the love guys. <3

My father looked at my grades and just about lost his sanity. I had a good long cry and... Monday night was a very emotional night. But it was a good breakthrough with some mental block I was having about myself.

I should be writing a paper right now. But it is 11:55 at night and I have been working nonstop since 5:15, so I think I deserve a little break, though that doesn't mean I have any less work to do.

Well anyway, I am grounded. For having F's on numerous assignments. My lowest grade is a C-, mind you, I'm not failing anything. And that C- is not sticking around on my watch. But either way, if I get an F on any assignment-- not class, assignment-- I am not going to be allowed to take driver's courses next semester. Which for me, would be the epitemy of torture. Don't think I spelled that right.
And he also said I was not allowed to communicate with Michael at all while I am grounded and I will not see him during the time I'm here in the summer if I fail any assignment.
And I don't even want to have to think about that.

Anyway, I'll pop in and out when I can. I've made a sketchy day-by-day schedule for myself from now until the end of the school year in less than a month, so hopefully I'm not going to screw myself like I have this past term with my blase attitude and disorganization.

I have an insane amount of work left to do still... so I think I'm going to take my leave. I'd like prayers and all. I'm still feeling really sick in the stomach from the other day, but I CANNOT afford to miss a single day from here on out.

....

I feel like some juvenile delinquint. I never get grounded.

Apparently my immune system isn't as strong as the doctors say it is. Though my dad said he thought it was either stress or appendicitis. We're obviously hoping for the latter.
I didn't know stress could induce stomach cramps... like this. Oh em gizzle.
But either way... my dad wants to take me to the emergency room. A little... hasty to be doing that ... plus I hate going to the ER. Tests and needles and needles... did I mention needles?

But seriously, school is ridiculous. I have two book reports due in English. The first one has to be on Elizabethan Courtship. Ftw. Who can write four pages about that kinda crap. And then the next one is on my book, on which I still have about 300 pages left to read. Ftw 2. I have an effing D in Science, because I have no idea. This teacher is psychotic. K? She teaches my Geography class. I get my first report of the semester and it's a D.
"Teach? I have a D and I'm not missing anything? Porque?"
"Iz not my job to watch your werks. :B"
"K teach."
Then on my midterm I get a 95. Now it's a C again. WTF. I keep up perfectly with that class.

Okay, so I'm a baby for complaining but I am on wits end. This is ridiculous. Just ridiculous. We only have three weeks left and I'm getting sick just thinking about finals. I might as well just try and get a job in Mexico somewhere and save myself the stress.

What did I ever do to deserve this?


For those of you who don't want to hear it...
Got artz lol. Be posted sewn, thz wknd mayb??!!
Just kidding....
I'm going to be putting myself under house arrest this weekend, for studying. And I also will be with Rachel making t-shirt designs at some point. And she is going to help me with Science, God bless her soul.

You know what sucks? Michael is sick today too and he's in the same neighborhood as me but I can't see him. ;_;

I'm kind of sad. I don't even know when I'm going home and I can't reach my dad.

I'm glad the week is over though... I'm dying.
And my grades are NOT good. Not good at all. I'm going to have an ulcer when I reach my middle age. And I'm going to blame my high school teachers. =/ Sigh sigh sigh...

I don't know what to talk about. I'm also kind of mad. Michael went to a concert and apparently lost his phone in the skanking pit. Someone elbowed him in the face or something. Either way I can't reach him and I don't like it.
Sometimes it's like he doesn't care.
Anyway. I'm going to go to bed or something, because I'm hot sweaty and tired and irritated and just plain sldfjljre.

Then I realized she wasn't talking to me much and I was like, "Are you okay?"
And she said in an accent, "I'm from Nicaragua!"

.....

I have NO idea, but I laughed when I woke up. XD

Just kidding. I'm not going to say that because she's watching me type.
I forgot to mention my dad is in Chile for the week, so I'm staying with my compadre Ronnie. And... we're chillin'. It's SAT Testing week so I won't have much homework, thank you GOD.

Michael and I have been going out for 10 months today.

....

And that's all I feel like saying. I just make random journals to let you know I'm alive still.
I have cool stuff I'm drawing seriously!!


Oh, and just for the record:
NO ART TRADES AND REQUESTS.


Waywaywayway too busy. Sorry.

Phoenix was the most nightmarish vacation ever.


And I didn't get a tan. Anyway, I'm going back again tomorrow for the choir trip, and I'm going to be in schoolwork up to my eyeballs.

I'm going to make some drawings though, I'll try.
Music has been the only thing inspiring me lately, I swear. Anyway. Yeah.

Just updating.

I'm going to be gone for the next few days, but maybe I'll have some new stuff.
Gone today until Monday, back Tuesday then gone Wednesday till Saturday, to Phoenix!!!!!


Maybe I'll get a tan?





Hmm...






NAH.

So I don't have any really anthro stuff. I have one of Sonic that isn't finished yet... but I'm afraid that a majority of my watchers won't be interested in some of the stuff I'll be submitting, and therefore become kind of dead to the Sonic community on dA.
I'll still have some of that stuff but I'm going to be a lot more varied in my submissions, just so people know.

I've gotten really into things like graphic designing and digital technique stuff since I've been gone. I'm not going to submit most of my stuff, but I am going to post some flyers I've made for a local band named Casual Fridays (which Michael happens to be in, hehe)... And a few random pictures, and of course some drawings.

So... just to let you know. I MAY have some stuff up tonight but I may not.... and I can't do it tomorrow, because I am going to my family in Phoenix for Spring Break, and after that I have only one school day then I'm going to Phoenix AGAIN for the Choir Trip, which is until Saturday.

Oh, and by the way... I have moved back to New Mexico. I don't really feel like explaining right now, but if I have time to write a journal later I will.

Love you guys, thanks for sticking around with me for so long! <3

I'M GOING TO MYSPACE IT FO SHO. If he'll let me.

Anyway, ALMOST Christmas break, ALMOST. We get out the 21st and then I'm FREEEEEEEEEE...























Until the 9th and then life starts sucking again.

Well, not much is going on in my life but I just wanted to inform EVERYONE that it SNOWED in the snowless Texas. It was like a miracle. It was really watery and it only lasted for about 3 minutes but WHO CARES IT SNOWED. Oh how I miss snow... I'm shocked that people actually consider this "winter". We're wearing t-shirts in November. Though I guess now December.

Speaking of December I'm really excited about Christmas. I am getting a WII and I'm really thrilled about that. I'm also getting a freakin' sweet bass guitar of my own, so I can practice during the summer when I'm away because I can't take my dad's bass. |D He'd probably die. I'm predicting it's going to be candy-apple red because Pam makes everything so obvious. XD I also looked at presents and I think most my presents are books. We also trimmed the tree and it looks really nice, I love this time of year. <3

Oh, and I guess good news: I turned in all my missing assignments in Journalism, which brings my grade up a whole bunch. <3 I really hope it's not a C or anything still. The whole B+ thing is off because my dad said that he could tell it was too much pressure on me, and he gave me a whole talk on how I shouldn't try to be perfect. Well, maybe I'm an overacheiver. I still don't do a good job.
I'm one of those people that has good motives but never actually finishes anything. Lord have mercy.


Okay, I'm done. I feel like I need to go lay down again. x_x

]]> ~TawnytheFox http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/10806928/ http://TawnytheFox.deviantart.com/journal/10806928/ Wed, 22 Nov 2006 02:14:53 PST . So basically I'm grounded from the computer until I get them up. Plus with the extra pressure from my father that if I get anything lower than a B+ by the end of the semester, I'm not going to be able to take Driver's Ed. If I take it this semester I'll be driving by this time next year and that would be quite snazzy indeed. In fact I can hardly wait, I can go to places and do things on my time rather on others'.
Of course that doesn't mean I'm not feeling bad about my grades. I mean... I feel awful because I have no excuse. I'm not slacking off drawing or doing something that can do me worth in the long run anyhow. All I do is... talk on the phone and do half-assed homeworks.
I'm confident I get get all of my grades up to A's by the end of the semester. Though I've been slacking off in other classes, Math is a far better story this year. I actually have an A in the class, and it's going steady for that matter. I got a 95 on the test and I am absolutely thrilled I am actually understanding it. Science, is a pain in the butt, and it's going to be a pain in the butt to get up. Our test was NINE essay questions, and they were not EASY essay questions. I studied for four flipping hours and spend another on the homework and I don't think that it really helped much more than it would have to study for half an hour. English is actually hard for me this year, and I really think it's good. My old English teacher never, ever critiqued my writing or pointed out weaknesses in my style. But this year my teacher is working me and I love it. I think I'm going to get a lot out of the class, writing wise. As for the mechanics of grammar, eh not doing so well. That's my problem. I can nail the grammar and spelling 9.9 times out of 10 when I'm writing, but when you ask me to point out specific elements in a sentence you would probably be better off asking a monkey to do it.
Sorry to bore you, I guess I'm just enjoying actually writing a journal for the first time in a while. I remember I used to do them pretty much weekly. Sorry guys... I know I'm missed here and I miss this place too, and I guess if I'm not giving my all in school then I should at least waste my time on here. I'm trying to gain interest again but until Christmas break you may not see me around for a while...
Sigh. I'm going to do better and school, and I'm going to balance everything more....
Ha ha ha ha....
I'll just walk over the edge of a cliff and save myself some time.
