This semester has been hell itself. Theoretically, if I pass all of my classes, I'll be done with school (as in graduating!), but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. I have to transfer a few credits in from another school and then I'm going to work on getting a real job. In the meantime, I'm going to get back to the fan fiction I was working on before the semester started.

I've also started writing another fan fiction, so I'm balancing way too much stuff, like usual.
And I downloaded a nifty new skin for my journal, so yeah.

If I don't pass this damn Java class, I'm going to be stuck and I really don't want my graduation pushed back because of this.
Anyway, rant over. I want to thank the three people who have been following the Society's progress so far. I really wish that number was bigger considering how many people I have on my f*ing watch list, but I do want to thank those three.
Hoorah for ya'll.
Sometimes I think that anything other than fan art on this site isn't really given more than a glance, if that. I love devi, but I might start searching for a new place to host my work. I need more positive and constructive feedback to help strengthen my work. I really do appreciate those of you who stop by to leave me comments and criticism, please continue to do as you do, for me and any other artist. It's how we grow.

I'm really hoping that all of you enjoy the comic as much as I've enjoyed coming up with it, but this site is ruled by fanwork and my new stuff might get lost. Eventually, I'd really like to build them their own site that will be their base while I post regular work here. Right now though, I don't have enough time to sleep or eat so that might be a long time coming.
Now, I have a story bouncing around my head that I have to go write. Hopefully I can use it for my CW class...

]]> =TresMaxwell http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/22630470/ http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/22630470/ Sat, 17 Jan 2009 09:52:50 PST At first, I just thought it was lost, but after checking every possibility, I called my bank.

Let's recap that call, shall we?
"Did you spend $4.50 at Pets Mart?"
"Yes, that was me."
"Did you spend $100 at Nordstrom’s?"
This to a girl that has never spent a dime in Nordstrom’s.
"No."
"How about $80 at Nordstrom’s?"
"NO!"
"What about $150 at Nordstrom’s?"
"F*ck NO!"
"And we actually blocked the next purchase at Nordstrom’s..."

Seriously, the thief didn't even leave the freaking mall, in fact, apparently they didn't even leave Nordstrom’s. I would be remotely okay if they spent money at a grocery store, at least I would know that they stole my money because they were hungry, but no... And that much money at Nordstrom’s, they probably managed to get a shirt, some underwear, and maybe a pair of shoes... if they were on sale.
So now I get to spend the next week getting a new driver's license, and a new school ID, and some new insurance cards, because all of these things are probably sitting in the bottom of a trashcan. I do have to say, stealing a college student's wallet was probably the worst take ever for this guy/girl (on second thought, almost $400 spent at Nordstrom’s, let's make that girl). Except for my emergency credit card, there was jack shit to spend. No cash, no debit card, no checks, but I think they got what was left on my Wal-Mart gift card after I spent 9/10 of it on new video games.
Enjoy that you asshole, the credit card's been cancelled, my Michael’s gift card is being reissued, and I'm fairly certain the one for Bed, Bath, and Beyond is expired!

]]> =TresMaxwell http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/22448595/ http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/22448595/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:11:48 PST School starts next week and my big project this semester is the comic book I've been posting stuff for. I'm really hoping that it'll gather enough steam to continue after school is over. I will probably have to dedicate a seperate website for it though, I don't want it all here.
The basic premise, for those of you who haven't heard about it, is that there's a group of not-so-serious paranormal investigators that live in Kingston, UK. The organization they're part of is SOOOO top secret that everyone has forgotten that they exist, even the people that would have funded them.
The first issue is concerning a transfer agent from the US (wink, wink for all those that have read my first draft) that was sent to them illegally and without the agent's consent. He, and the situation, is far from normal.
I hope you all enjoy it, because I'm very fond of the characters, but I do want some serious criticism to help me improve the comic. So leave me comments other that 'It's awesome'. As lovely as it is to hear that, it won't help me improve. If you see flaws in the story line, please point them out! I want to actually do something with this one day.
Anyways, that's all for now. I hope everyone enjoyed their respective holidays and you're all doing well this new year.

I'm trying to get good images of the work that I'm actually proud of and spent more time on. No luck there. All of the images I've taken are either blurry or not detailed enough, or blurry... you get the idea. I can't scan either of them because one is 30" by 30" and the other is 3' by 4'. I think I just need to get a better camera.
In other news, I'll soon be doing more comic book work than anything. My final project for my college degree is an issue of a comic book that I've been brooding over for the past several months. I'm kind of hoping to actually make it a weekly webcomic until it can gain some steam, but we'll see how things go. Then there's that teeny, tiny hope that I might be able to do something else with it, like publishing. Gasp... I said it, but doubt it.
Anyway, I need to go to bed because I have to be back at work in about six hours and have yet to sleep.

I'm also trying to get back in the groove of a story I started a while ago so I can turn it in for my short story class. And I've missed too many classes the past few weeks because I hate java and have no urge to go sit through a lecture where the slides go by ten times faster than I can type them in my notes.
And that's the quickest run down of my life as possible. My friend just got a new computer and I envy it's shininess. It's the only thing that can run photoshop at the level I need right now, so I'm borrowing it.
Class is about to start.
Need to make sure I don't go to sleep...

There's not much else going on in my life. I finished a short story that I'm sending off to be published (hopfully, keeping fingers crossed) but I got a really good response from it in my creative writing class.
I guess that's it. I keep meaning to start drawing my comic book, but 'meaning to' always seems to get in my way. Procrastinators unite... tomorrow.

Not much else going on with life. Starting school soon for the fall and I've been completely consumed with work on a fan fic. I've also decided that, once I finish up a few of the fan fics I'm working on, I'm done with fan writing. I'm going to start writing the stuff that actually matters to me.

Um... that's about it. I'll give anyone a cookie who can figure out what a tablet/human crossbreed would look like.

You'll get first look at it here and you'll have to let me know how it is.

They've been making me kind of angry lately anyway.
That's my life, there's the update... moving on.

I'm working on several fan fictions, which is taking up most of my free time. Anyways, I'm about to go eat dinner with my Dad, so I'm going to go. There's the update for my life.

]]> =TresMaxwell http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/15910487/ http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/15910487/ Wed, 12 Dec 2007 21:58:25 PST I'm thinking I'm going to have to do an art meme. I've been intending to do one, but a yaoi one just fell in my lap and I'm thinking it might be fun. I've really been spending a lot of my time on a fan fiction that's now reached just under 70 pages. I have an outline for it and my rate of completion is 20 typed pages for every written page of outline. If this trend continues, this story is going to be about 200 pages long! I'm already wondering when it's going to end, but I have to finish it.
Um, in other news, I hate Christmas in relation to working retail. People are insane this time of year. Saturday at the mall is not a place I want to be during Christmas, but I work there, so I have to go.
Here's to wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and reminding you to be nice to the retail people, they've dealt with a lot of shit before you came in the store and they'll deal with a lot more when you're gone.

I still haven't registered for spring classes and I'm way behind the curve. I suspect that I won't be able to get into much, but I really wouldn't mind if I had a light semester.
That's really about it. I AM alive... That's about it. I really want to post my storyboard here, but I'm just not sure if Devi will take it. It's about 4 and a half minutes long.
Once I finish my finals, I'm going to move to a new apartment and work on teddy bears. I have two bears and a sock monkey to finish before Christmas. I hope I can make it.

Oh well. I'm working like crazy on my storyboard but it's really slow going. I think I'm going to make a few edits to my accompying music so my boards don't have to be so extensive.
Went to a family reunion yesterday and completely forgot my phone. So I was gone all day with no connection with anyone T_T I also got lost trying to find where we were going to meet and couldn't call my grandparents... I did manage to find the right street (by sheer luck) and passed the house I was supposed to go to. My grandfather whistled and I could hear it through my closed doors and over my stereo. It was impressive.
So, I'm tired, my halloween costume is falling apart already, I need to do my Maya homework, and I want to work on my teddy bears... That is all.

]]> =TresMaxwell http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/15185572/ http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/15185572/ Tue, 23 Oct 2007 09:46:27 PDT In other news, I've been writing a lot. I'm getting ready to start on a storyboard for class, but I have a lot to work on before it's due on Monday. The design of the characters is completely illuding me. Eventually, I think I'll work something out that I like, but it's going to take a little while. I'm also trying to finish my Halloween costume. I don't have much left to do, just stitch a few things together and put lace holes in the corset.
Once that's all done, I think I'll fall down and die... then maybe I'll draw something fun.

Oh well, what's done is done. I have work today from 2 to 11, and it's Sat., so it'll be insane. Once I make it through, I'm going to bed...
In other news, I'd like everyone to welcome ! He's a friend from school and he just started on Devi.
And that's about all for this news feed. I have two different pictures going, and I'm hoping to finish both of them soon.

Next, I'll be working on Gara from Naruto. I don't think he's going to be nearly as difficult to complete. The only trouble I seem to be having with him is finding a gourd for him to wear on his back. I wanted to use a real one, but that's beginning to look like a hopeless venture. All real gourds have now been replaced by plastic or ceramic ones, so I think I might have to look online. If that doesn't turn anything out, I'm going to make one.
There's really not a whole lot else going on here. I haven't had a good drawing session in weeks and it's a little discouraging, but I've been pretty busy. I think I'm just going to do some exersises and see if I can't get the pen flowing again. Oh, and I've been working in Maya, but my 3D modeling skills still suck hardcore, so it'll be a while before you get to see any of that.

3)Terminator
4) Will from Pirates
5/6) Hikaru and Kaoru from (can't remeber the first part) High School Club
7) Sepheroth from FFVII

The Fruits Basket Characters
Han and Leia from Star Wars
Frost from a story and I wrote
Inu Yasha

Oye... so I'm trying to start up my custom teddy bear buisness. If you haven't seen Jack Bearrow, go look at him. That's just the first of many. It really wasn't as difficult as I originally anticipated, so I really do think that this would be a good suppliment income to my current job. Unfortunatly, until I get the hang of things, they will be time consuming to make. My first teddy bear took about two weeks, but mostly becuase I had very little time to work on him. I estimate that he took about 10-15 hours with REALLY long breaks.
Anyway, so my life is hectic... oh, and I got a cat. It's a joint venture between and me. was going to take care of her until I got an apartment, but her adorable kittens didn't like my cat O.o; so now she's living with my dad. She's a polydactyle (probably spelling that ncorrectly), but that means that she has more than five toes on every foot. They're also known as Hemmingway cats. He had a few of them... she was just far too adorable to pass up.
That's really about it. I hope to get scans of my work for storyboarding and post those when they're done, but that all I've got for now... except the painting I've yet to scan... and the other painting... and the sketches... I'm a lazy, busy, bum...

I probably will, just because I like it, but who knows.
I got an idea for a contest going on in a club I'm in, but I don't know when I'm going to draw it. I haven't drawn anything in weeks. My current project (besides fan fiction) is a teddy bear that I've been making. I will be posting pictures of him when I'm done, and hopefully be selling bears like him. I'll be taking commissions on bears once he's done, and you'll see why soon.
I guess that's about all.
My friend has joined Devi (finally), so go visit her.

Honestly, I have nothing else to say... I don't have much time to sleep because I work closing shifts and then get up to go to school... I haven't drawn ANYTHING!!!!!! I have ideas... I do, really, but I just haven't had the time, nor the energy to do anything. I went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and got home at 3 X_X. That was probably not the best idea on my part. Now... I think I'm going to take a nap until work starts...

But what AM I doing?! I'm writing fan fiction, the bane of my literary existence. Why? Tell me, why do I do this? I should be doing art exersises, at least that would be productive...
I just really haven't had it in me to do much else lately T_T; Forgive me, my patient viewers. But, as far as the actual topic of this journal, I've reached 14,000 hits and I wanted to thank all of you. I haven't really been paying attention to hits, since I haven't been doing much of anything. So why the hell SHOULD I be getting hits, but I hardly noticed that they'd hit the 14 marker. Maybe I'll do something big when I get to 15, but it'll probably just get added to the stack of s#!% I've been meaning to do.
I have a well intentioned heart and a very lazy hand...

Four nights of minumum sleep later, I drove to my Grandmother's for a fish fry and nearly fell asleep on the road while driving through a rather bad storm. My little brothers were at the fish fry, so yet again, I didn't get much sleep. While I enjoyed myself, you can imagine how happy I was to be home.
Now, I'm going back to work, but I've transferred to a new store. So I'll still be working at Build a Bear, just at the one closer to home. In other news, there's no other news, I'm tired and I was visciously attacked by mesquitos (I have 12 bug bites). Having so many bug bites makes you very itchy.......... O.o;

I'll be taking my computer and my art stuff, but I'm not sure I'll have time to do much of anything. From the way it sounds, my schedule is already booked to the gills and I haven't even set foot inside an airplane yet. I'm leaving on Wednesday and won't be back until Sunday, but then I'm going straight to my Grandmother's for a fish fry, so I'll be gone until the next Wednesday or Thursday. When I come back, I might have something to post, but I might not. I've been crazy busy trying to move out of my old apartment, so we'll see what happens in the next couple of days.
Hopefully, I can get back to work soon and you'll start seeing some stuff again.

My next project is to take pictures of my 2D work so I can post those. I would prefer to scan them, but they're really big, so that's not going to work.
Otherwise, I'm trying to transfer to the Build a Bear near my mother, so I don't have to drive to Dallas every day I work. I'm planning on taking a few summer classes to lighten my load later in my college career, but I haven't decided which one's yet. I'm thinking I'm going to take my last math class. But since school let out, I've been playing a lot of gamecube... because I can
I've gotten most of my grades back, and did surprisingly well for my super high stress level!

This time, it involves flesh eating Zombie ponies. I'm also finishing my final project in 3D design, which is a giant squid destroying a city. and I are working on it. Once that's turned in, I'm done for the semester. I would say I'll have a lot of time to devote to art, but I'm probably going to be working quite a bit, not to mention moving. I'll do what I can to keep things updated here, but I'm afraid I can't make any promises. Now, I have to go study for my final tomorrow O.o
Lord, save me from finals week!!!

I appreciate all of your concern and support and it really helped me get through this difficult time. I think life is moving past this well enough. I'm still on a search for the cord that connects my camera to my computer. I have art sitting in the camera... waiting to be shown here, but I can't do anything about that until that cord magically appears somewhere. I also finished a painting that I'll scan later tonight and get posted.
Thanks again and love to all of you

He has cancer. I can't think of an occassion where I've cried more. I broke down when he told me, I broke down in the shower ten minutes later, and I broke down at work today in front of my manager.
I'm dealing alright now. The doctors gave him an excellent survival rate with surgery. It's just not a word I'd been expecting to hear...

In a world left behind, I finished several art pieces, all I need to do is load up the images. I'm trying to find the cord that connects my digital camera to my computer...

His name is Godzilla and he has two pagodas that he can rampage on. He's a chinese water dragon (which is supposed to be one of the most intelligent lizards) but he frequently tries to walk through the walls of his tank. We're still getting used to eachother. He's figured out that I'm the one who feeds him, but he doesn't like to be held for long periods of time so he freaks out and tries to escape (by attempting to climb my robe and jump off my head)

Sigh.
Despite it all, I find him very adorable.
Otherwise, I have no news. My classes are going well. I got a perfect score on my first Animal Communication quiz... but there was only one question. My 2D design class is looking like a total waste of time since we aren't allowed to work out of our imaginations (so we get to copy pictures exactly). I mean, for our first assignment, we were allowed to TRACE our picture.... TRACING!!!! Are you kidding me?! There is no challenge in this class...
I'm building a very evil bear in 3D design, however, and I'm really excited about it. If any of you remember way, way back in my gallery, I have a teddy bear with mechanical spider legs coming out of it's back.... Yeah, I'm building that. I'll probably post some WIP pictures when I take them.
My Internet Studio class is also very easy. We're learning how to use Dreamweaver, but I already know quite a bit about it. I'm waiting for us to start learning about Flash. When it's all said and done, I'm going to have started up a website called Worm Burners that my father and I though up several years ago. I will be posting my cartoons here, but everything will be copyrighted. Hopefully the cartoons will be funny enough to keep people's attention.
OH, and my color photography class has a dark room with no safe light! So we have to process and develop our photographs in COMPLETE and TOTAL darkness. ANY kind of light what so ever will fog the photo paper. There are lights that exist that won't hurt it, but we don't have one........... I hate life... and working alone in darkness. I have a very active imagination and it can be quite a hinderence when I'm alone (I can seriously freak myself out). Most people know that the sound they just heard must have some kind of logical explination, but my brain likes to make dark shapes that made that sound while hunting me.... Stupid imagination.
Sorry for the long journal, but I'm in class and am very bored.
Ya'll have great day.

Don't get me wrong, I was born and raised in Texas, but I've been to New York in the winter. THAT IS SNOW!! And people still drive in it. You want to be really cold? Go look at Niagra Falls in freezing weather. The wind comes off the FROZEN water and cuts you to the bone. Mind you, those falls are massive, but they still freeze solid in the winter.
Anyway, there's my rant about Texans and weather. It gets a little chilly and no one can drive. T_T
In other news, whatever I had (sickness wise) is FINALLY gone. I've been able to do pretty much anything now without hacking up a lung. School has started back up and my classes are awesome. I've also gotten back to work on the Weaver for Triumvir. My work on that is finally picking up speed and he should be done within the next few days.
I've also scanned a picture I did for my drawing class at the end of the semester, but it's rather large so I had to scan it in peices. Unfortunately, the peices don't fit together very well, so I'm still trying to clean them up in photoshop. But, that's really all I've got right now. I am alive and I'm working on art... hoora!

I think this semester is going to be awesome I should have plenty of work to post, because if I don't finish work for class, I'll fail
I still haven't brought home my most recent piece to scan. I keep meaning to but I've been a bit distracted while I was coughing up my lungs. I'm working on a logo for my stepfather's buisness, but I have no idea what I'm doing from there.
Work has been absurdly busy, so my mom is convinced that I'm sick from being worn out, but I don't know.
I really do intend on finishing something soon, so stick with me!
I hope everyone had a great holiday season and a great new years!

Unfortunatly, I left it in Southlake and can't scan it until I remember to bring it home. I'm currently working on the picture of the Weaver for Triumvir, but it's really slow going since it's such a big picture. I'm also working on Meet the Stokes, a CSI fan fiction I started earlier in the year. Oh, I'm also working on a painting I'm doing for my father... so, all in all, I'm really not getting a lot done... ACK.
In the meantime, I went apartment hunting and found two that I really love, one that I've yet to tour, and one that I could live in if the first three don't work out. I've only been out one day though. I'm also not sure if the area I'm looking in is entirely safe and am becoming thankful that I usually carry my laptop everywhere. My friend Destinee and I will be moving in together, so I won't be alone, but I think we're going to get a large dog.
Otherwise, I'm trying to get my Christmas shopping done >.<
The holidays eat my face and my money.

I also am almost done with this semester, so I've got several finals over the next few days. I'm studying my buns off and working a hell of a lot. My current project is a large picture of Wonderland that is due next week on Wednesday. After that's done, I'm going to go back to the work I've been doing for Triumvir. I've kind of been neglecting them in favor of class. Also, I got the Sims 2 Pets and it eats my soul. That's about it though. I'm tired, I want a nap, and I have to start looking for apartments... I won't be able to live with my Dad past next May, so I need to find somewhere near school. I think my friend is going to move in with me, so it's all good, but I still have to go apartment hunting O.o
It's a scary concept...
Oh, and I went to see a theatrical version of Alice in Wonderland at my school, it was pretty cool.

At about two a.m. we went to bed, since we had to get up early to get on a plane. At around three, her nextdoor neighbor decided to turn on his music. We banged on the wall to get him to shut it off, but he didn't seem to understand what we were yelling about...
All in all, I've decided that I'm glad Kelly is happy with dorm life, but I could never stand it. My slight OCD nature would never last with another person in my room and people coming in and out at all hours... Dorms make me crazy. I had a good time out there, had good ice cream and went shopping, but I'm happy to be home in my own bed again.

My friend thinks it's the flu, but I hope not. I'm really achy all over and my throat hurts like hell. I haven't taken anything for it, because I'm not sure if it's anything serious yet. does have some kind of illness, but I haven't seen her enough since she got sick to have been exposed to whatever she has. Meh, here's to hoping it goes away.
I'm also working on fixing up the Legends icon so they can stick it on anything. All I've got thus far is an oval with no decoration. Um... what else... still trying to finish Grissom's Tremors, the fanfiction that can be found here [link] I've got most of the rest of it done, I just haven't found time to sit down and work on it.
I guess that's about it. I'm think I'm going to go back to sleep now.

We only found a couple of things, one being a large chunk of what we believed was a femur, and a very long rib. The femur had no ends on it, so it wasn't work anything. We left it where it was, and the rib was heavily weathered and broke into five peices when we removed it.
Otherwise, we had a good time just looking at whatever the hell we wanted to. We went out to a ghost town (which was strangely inhabited) and drove through the national park. There was not a lot out there... It was fun though.
On another note, they are STILL doing construction on my apartment complex and I am very, very sick of it. As of this very moment, they are hammering on my wall and I can't hear the movie I'm watching. They've been working on my apartments since the semester before last and they still aren't done.
I guess the only other thing going on is the exam I have to make up and... I'm finishing a story... That's all I've got.
Adios!

This is the real reason for me not getting anything done. I still haven't finished the picture of the Blade Dancer and I have about twenty other ideas

It's open book, but it's a big ass book and we have a limited amount of time to take it. I'm not sure how I'm going to do, but I have to study. I'm sure I have tests coming up in other classes, but I'm just worried about this one. Yeah, that's about it. I'm going to go home, since it's not Wednesday, and watch Roughnecks and finish the blade dancer... or play the Sims 2... since got it for me for my b-day.
Yeah, that's the plan. Then I'll finish Grissom's Tremors, which is also a work in progress, but a written work in progress. Hooray for stories! Okay... I'm in class... and am bored............... *yawn*.......

All you have to do is not look at it. I think most of you know that I do stuff like that anyway, so you should all be okay with it.
I'm only about a fourth done with that and I'm also in progress on three different stories right now, so if you read my stuff on fanfiction.net, you should go check out my new stuff. That's really about all right now. I have a program due in Java next week, but I haven't learned enough in my Java class to do any programming. I don't know if I'm going to get it done Oh well, we'll do what we can. That's about all I have right now... I'm listening to my WWW teacher talk about audiences... which I think I already know about, but hell... I'm bored and I can't work on my yaoi picture in class... I think I'm going to rent a movie tonight and chill out.
Oh, I also left my purse in Southlake when I went to Dallas, so I don't have a wallet, or monies, or my ipod, or my agenda, or... well, you get the idea. I'm debating whether or not I should use the gas to go get it... I probably should.

Oh, and my labor day weekend was hell because there were a million people and I don't think I got a break all day... and they scheduled me to close one night where I didn't get home until almost midnight, then they wanted me to come in at eight am the next morining, so I only got six hours of sleep!

I'm very happy That doesn't have a lot to do with Triumvir and is a little off track, but it popped into my head... I've done a few sketches for my next picture, but I'm going to have to find a reference for one of the poses (it's giving me a little trouble.) That's really all I've got right now. Zamaza is not in class and I'm wondering where she is BECAUSE SHE'S NOT ANSWERING HER PHONE *glares at Zam*. But otherwise, that's really it.

I like it though. Otherwise, I got a job from a lady to paint a school logo on her son's wall. I finished in about 8 hours and got almost $45 and hour to do it. Yeah, more jobs like that, and I can quit working at Linens and Things. I'm also working on one of my original stories right now, which won't be posted anywhere. I would post it here, but no one reads it and I really don't want to risk it being stolen. When it's done, I'm really considering attempting to get it published so I don't want it all over the internet.

We probably walked 20 miles in Sea World alone, where if they'd arranged it so the groups moved in circles through the various activities, we would have only gone about a quarter of a mile and been done in less than two hours... We then spent the night at Sea World and slept on the floors at three different exibits. While this could have potentially been very cool, they turned off the lights in the shark tank (where our bus was sleeping) and you couldn't see any of the animals anyway.
We finally got to sleep around 11:30 at night, and then they woke us up at five a.m., dragged us over to a pavillion where we had our ONE krispy kreme donut for breakfast and then we went to the gift shop and went back to the buses. This trip sucked... And, to top it all off, I came back to my little brother's house (he lives with his mother, who was my step-mother) and woke up in the morning with two brown recluse bites. They tell me that, if I don't go to the doctor to get it taken care of, my flesh will actually rot off in these spots. It was awesome (note sarcasm) I have no idea what they're going to do about the damn things, but I hear possible surgery and cutting instriments will be involved.
In other news, I haven't have a chance to sleep enough, let alone draw, so I'm really sorry that I have nothing to post. When I catch my breath and actually get adjusted to my working schedule, I should be able to sit down with my drawing pad. In the meantime, I'll try and work up some good ideas so I can just be productive when I get time.
Oooo, I'm also getting prepared for A-Kon 17 right now, because that's coming up in about two weeks. I have a bunch of my friends staying at my apartment for that event and need to figure out how many will show up and how much food I'm going to need to feed them. I'm soooo tired....... Happy Mother's Day everyone. ]]> =TresMaxwell http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/8655327/ http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/8655327/ Tue, 02 May 2006 18:31:59 PDT ... lots... That's really about it, despite it all, I'm actually enjoying it. The people there are friendly (for the most part) and the managers are either nice or funny. I also don't have to get oogled by men, since 9 out of 10 customers are women. It's kinda not cool when you're talking to a guy and he spends way too much time looking at your name tag (for those of you who might not get it, your name tag is usually positioned on your boobs...)

Anyways, in other news, I haven't drawn anything, but I got a new phone. It's nifty and orange and plays MP3s... but I guess that's all I've got. I'm tired, my feet hurt, and I'm working to save up for A-Kon. Yay!

That is all, signing off... ]]> =TresMaxwell http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/8597238/ http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/8597238/ Wed, 26 Apr 2006 22:46:19 PDT got me, again! to her.

Rules:
Write a journal stating 6 weird habits/things about you, and copy and paste this header at the top of the journal. Then tag 6 other people and list their names at the bottom of the journal. Don't forget to leave a comment to and tell them they've been tagged and to read your journal!

COMMENT FREELY!!!!

1.) Well, I'm a book lover through and through. When I was little, my idea of fun was to lay out a blanket on my floor, make a stack of my illustrated classics and read every single one. While these books do have pictures every five pages or so, they were about three hundred pages apeice O.o and I was 8... Wait, this is still fun, only now I read books without pictures...

2.) I am a hard-core CSI fan. Not kidding... as you know, I do CSI art, but I also write CSI fiction, watch CSI marathons with my DVD box sets, long for the merchandise paraphanelia on the CSI website, make CSI wallpapers, have crime scene tape across my door, play the CSI video games and have just finished the most recent one, refrence the characters like they're real people, talk to the TV when CSI is on (my mom stares at me a lot), buy books about corpses and the history of murder so I can better understand the show... Some might call me obsessed, and this is only a recent thing. The only thing I haven't done is change my major...

3.) I can't spell worth anything, even though I type a ton. The only way my work is spelling error free is to run it through a word processor. I am a HORRID speller, but I'm pretty good with grammar...

4.) I like to use the '...' In fact, I love to use the '...' Let's use some now... Ah, wasn't that great? Let's do one more... hehe...

5.) If that last number made any sense to anyone but me, then good. It means I'm not totally psycotic... On an average afternoon, you'll find me planning stories with my friend Destinee. She and I work really well together and we can write the story plot for an entire novel in a day. If it really turns out to be long, it might take us three days to talk it all out. Many of my picture ideas come from these works.

6.) I guess here's an honest one, I'm terrified of deep water. I love going swimming, but when I can neither touch nor see the bottom of the lake/ocean I am in, I freak out. Well, I freak out internally. I've never screamed and panicked because of this. While Jaws is one of my absolute favorite movies of all times, I think I watched it at much too young an age and I've really never been okay with deep water.

I tag:
1.)
2.)
3.)
4.)

6.) ]]> =TresMaxwell http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/8513113/ http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/8513113/ Tue, 18 Apr 2006 17:11:59 PDT Classwise, I took my first biology test and turned my final project for RHET class. All I have left is a test in computer science, which will happen later this week, and another test in biology, which will happen next week. Once that's done, school is over. I was supposed to end this week, but biology was somewhat of a surprise because it was originally scheduled for this week. Other than that, I have to sell back my books! Yay!
I have an interview on friday with Linens and Things since Virgin records never called me. I hope they hire me... ]]> =TresMaxwell http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/8437066/ http://TresMaxwell.deviantart.com/journal/8437066/ Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:37:17 PDT and I are working on a visual project about drunk driving for RHET class. Plus, we have several tests in the next week and a half, so there are a lot of reviews to finish.
Other than that, we have to go register for classes for the fall semester and I really have to get a job. I had a promising interview with Virgin Records, but no one ever called me, so I'm going to keep applying.
I have to go get my oil changed and... well, I guess that's about it. I have no current picture going, but I should soon. I'll draw something during SciFi class so I can work on it over the next few weeks.
That's all I've got
