                <description><![CDATA[ Ugh.<br />So..I've been kinda MIA lately.<br />It's because<br />I'm so incredibly exhausted.<br />I've had the ickies lately.<br />It sucks.<br />And won't go away.<br /><br />Also, I've been super busy.<br />I still haven't finished my Christmas paintings. :/<br />I must do that soon.<br /><br />I've had the worst week ever.<br />Seriously. The finale of this 'worst week' was my finding out that my aunt died.<br /><br />Right now I'm working on my first commission ever!<br />And it's a graphic design gig too!<br />It's the not the greatest, but it works. (Besides, I know I super suck at typography. >_&lt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> I hope they ask me to do it again. *fingers crossed*<br /><br />So...if I told you that I would make you something, I'm going to get to it. (I haven't forgotten!) I've just been really tied down lately.<br /><br /><br />Soon to come:<br />features!<br />unsolicited gift art! because i loves my peeps. :}<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I feel so down with my art lately....<br />
my art is crap....it really is.<br />
It doesn't say anything...<br />
it's just...there....<br />
looking stupid.<br />
<br />
I'm getting frustrated at myself.<br />
<br />
It's just....when i look at it...it's so lifeless...it doesn't speak....it just sits there like ugly eye candy...with no real artistic expression.<br />
I think...<br />
I hold myself back too much....perhaps.<br />
Too afraid to try new things...or experiment...cause I don't want to ruin what I already have down on the paper/canvas/whatever...you know...<br />
<br />
<br />
Anywho...just evaluating where I want to go with my art...<br />
Sorry for the rant.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm not completely happy with them...but they're done.<br />
<br />
Now I only have....five projects left. >_< I need to get on the ball. <br />
But I think that things will go smoother now that I've gotten the hang of painting with acrylics. ::fingers crossed::<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I think I'm finally reaching my breaking point....<br />
<br />
I've been without electricity for a week due to the ice storm. No biggie. Not really. We have a generator so we can stay moderately warm. (I'm forfeiting my heater right now so I can get on my laptop. lol!) <br />
I have things to occupy my time. Like drawing, painting, and reading. <br />
But I've read everything I own. I just finished Ai No Kusabi last night (Thank you, Robin!! <3), and all the manga I haven't read is on my Mac. :/<br />
<br />
I've tried drawing some, but it's only frustrated me. I can't draw men. I just can't. I've been trying and trying, but they all look too feminine. ::sigh:: <br />
I think I've lost all sense of creativity. <br />
<br />
Then I started my Christmas paintings (called such because I'm flat broke so everyone is getting a painting or drawing for Christmas). <br />
I'm painting with acrylic--which is completely foreign to me, I'm an oil painter--and it started out fairly well. Right now I'm painting a hummingbird/flower ensemble for my mother. The background came out really well. I was quite ecstatic. It's an orange/yellow/red hued sunset with clouds. I love it.<br />
 Then I began the flowers. <br />
Oh! Should I tell you that I've never painted flowers or hummingbirds before? Yeah..*cough*..fun. <br />
The flowers are horrible!! Horrible!!! ::gouges out eyes:: <br />
I'm distraught. Not because they are horrible, no; because I painted some study flowers beforehand, which were quite beautiful. (At least to me, given I'd never done it before.) That is why I'm distraught. It's like a one-time-only thing. Boom. That's it. Can't paint them again.<br />
I was so frustrated that I wanted to throw it out the window. lol. I'm hiding it away for now. I can't look at it. It makes me want to cry. Now I don't know if I want to paint anymore. :/<br />
<br />
So, needless to say I'm quite discouraged now. I can't draw. I can't paint. I've lost all sense of creativity. I don't know what to do now. This is what I do. Art. That's all I am. And I can't even do that right now. <br />
Then add all of this on top of having nothing to distract me from my worthlessness and I'm spent. ::sigh:: <br />
<br />
...I miss my Mac. <br />
If I don't have electricity by Saturday night to watch the new episodes of anime....I may crack.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
