So I'm considering a change.


I'm going with something with one of my names in it, either Katti, or Kirin.

Neph love suggested KatastrophicKirin [spelled like that on purpose, lol]

I actually like that, but surely am open to more suggestions. Thanks guys.

Updates;

I was forced to go to this dinner thing for my sister, and its' not like she ever comes to my stuff, but anyway, I think I'm getting sick from the food there. I dunno.

But, I'm really upset, because she got recognized, and of course, my dad was there, but he never comes to my stuff, like he won't be coming to any of my softball games, or my orchestra concert, so I dunno. it just really upsets me that both of them were able to go in a heartbeat.

dA's lagging majorly here, it's cutting off half my words, so it's taken a while to write this message, so I don't think I'm going to put in any more, because it's going to take a while to type up.

so, I'm looking for advice on how to improve majorly. like. I'm thinking about doing a complete rehaul of my style [except for the paws, because I actually like them. o_o]

I have horrible anatomy, I can't draw ears, everything's always out of proportions, and I cannot, and I mean cannot do any other poses besides sitting and standing. and my expressions are horrible also.

I'm thinking about leaving the art part of dA. like. not looking at anyone else's recent artwork, because all that does to me is put me down farther, because whenever I try and get my artwork to look something like that level, it always crashes and burns.

I don't know.

I'd really like to know how to figure this out and actually get my art up to the point where it's at somewhat of a commissioning standard.

I got rocks thrown at my head. grass shoved into my $70 sneakers, along with some dirt, a worm and more grass and dirt shoved into my batting helmet, things thrown around, called names, being told that 'you have to be good to be a starter.' and much more.


FOR LIVING. .

I didn't do one single thing to them.
And they attack me. ATTACK ME.

I have welts on my head from the rocks. there's mud in my sneakers and helmet, both of which are new.

I was told many comments, such as;

"You better not be taking the bus, it's so much better without your filthy ass on there."

"It's funny to do crap to you. You're such a little creep"

"You're an asshole, a bitch, an annoying little faggot."

"You can't do anything about it, because no one will believe you, and honestly, I'm too good to be kicked off the team for doing that, so don't waste your time."

"Why don't you just go cry to your mommy, like you did with Corrinne and the milk?"




All those said by two girls who I thought were my friends. Some long long time ago.


I had to do over 60 pushups because they 'found' my stuff on the ground, where in actuality, they stole it out of my bag.
[it's a punisment if a coach has our stuff we have to do 30 pushups.]



All for living.

What did I ever do to them? I don't even know.
I'm seriously thinking about .... nevermind.

I don't know when I'll update next.
I need to do everything I can to get away from school.

I need prices on the following categories:

Tags:{There is a section of my gallery, for tags, and I believe that I have two tags in the 'scraps' section.}

Large Art:{Found in the 'Misc' category of my Gallery.}

Ref Sheets:{Can be found in the 'Refs' section of my gallery.}




Should I do sketch commissions too? Idunnoooo.

Anyway. price in FPD/FPP, and possibly USD, even though I can't do USD.

And, should I do icon commissions? xD I'll have an example posted, and it'll be under 'Misc.'






OH. and I'm pissssed. It's snowing here. and now I can't get that tank top easter dress I wanted. x________x ...we have a half inch on the ground, with more to come.
IT'S THE FREAKEN FIRST DAY OF SPRING AND IT'S SNOWING. x_________________x

It wasn't the best birthday ever. I got money to shop with for tommorrow, which is good.

But my parents couldn't even stop freaken fighting on my birthday.
I freaken ran out of the room crying.


I never get noticed anymore. Not by friends on FP or in real life either.

I go into chat and I don't even get a fucking 'hey.' or anything. If I ask a question portaining to what I should do, or about my finger.{which I injured playing Softball.} I don't even get a friggen god damned decent answer.



I was just informed that my mother doesn't trust me. she even said it her fucking self.

'No internet tommorrow, I don't trust you.'

as one of my friend's parents are very strict, and she is not allowed on 'chatting' websites or anything. so. x_x my mom's pretty much taking away my laptop.
I promised her we wouldn't be going on or anything. but I'm her fucking 'roblem' child, so she can't ever trust me.

I really don't care anymore.

I guess I won't be seeing anyone tommorrow.
....
I just hope my 'arty' goes over well. and I can actually buy the things I want to. x_______x

School was. shitty. like always, so that isn't much of a surprise.
Sam the devil pushed me. and I fell and pretty much hit my head on the corner of the desk. Of course, conveniently for her, no teachers were in the room, and like. 2 other students were in there also.

So I had a throbbing headache from 3rd period on. I tried to go up to the nurse, but she couldn't do anything, as we need parental consent to get asprin, and my mom wasn't home, and my dad was busy with a client.
{shows how much they care, right?}

Last night, I got really upset, and I figured, I might as well post on her website, and ask her why she hates me. {not the best idea, I know. doesn't fucking matter anyway.}


hey.





yeah. so. I want to know what I ever did to you, that you treat me the way you do.

Why is that?


I pass you in the hallway and you go 'ewww it's katie.'
I didn't even /say/ anyhting to you.

seriously, sam.


barneylov889 well I just hate you beaucse you are always mean to me
purplerox19 this is funnay
purplerox19 hey girls hey
barneylov889 and + oyu made are whoel table moved beaucse kelsey moved thanks alot
barneylov889 i hate katie alot
purplerox19 u call me now if need 2 talk
barneylov889 she is always mean to me and she says tht she never is she always is to me though and i hate her


Just bits and pieces of the conversation because I don't think you guys need to see the rest of the very long conversation, which I was not a part of. I just want to let you all know, I avoid her at all costs, and she pretty much twists everything around to make it sound like she's a holy angel.

Anddd, I almost had a vase cracked on my head, because my mom got all upset at me, because I just got the materials needed for my 200 point social project today, and she insists I had them all weekend. Threw a remote at me too.

I just don't know what to do.
I've asked for a therapist. My mom just said I'll get over it.
I've talked to teachers, asking to get my seat changed, and everything, and they just say, 'I'll get to that later' and never do.
Our guidence counselors are too busy to do anything, and it's not like my mom cares enough that she's going to schedule a meeting with one of the two to try and sort it out.

I really don't know why I still am here, or even remotely close to living.
I can't stop shaking, or hyperventalating. I'm hysterical, and all my sister does is laugh.

My fingers are raw from me biting on them to stop from screaming. My mouth is all cut up from my braces/chewing on my lips/cheeks.

I should go get high. or. possibly knock myself out with cold medicine. or. something else.

I just really can't do this anymore.

I've been constantly sobbing and crying, and really am tempted to just go see a therapist.

Dani {Ysrei, from FP} has helped me a great deal the past days, but she's currently out, so I'm really like. freaking out. I'm trying so hard to stop crying, it just isnt possible for me.

One of my mom's friends came up, and I was like. sobbing. I had to dry my eyes, and not talk, for fear of my voice cracking, and then having to explain it all.

I just really can't take this anymore.
I don't even know why I exist on the earth still, just like Sam said {for those of you who don't know, she basically said she hated me because I was 'a fat ugly pig who does deserve to be on earth'.}

Hopefully someone will actually care about me in real life, but I doubt that'll happen.

I dunno when I'll be back, or if I'll be back, or if I won't even go. I dunno.

I'll start from the beginning.

On friday, a girl,(who we'll call Corinne) who blames her abusive actions (slamming me into lockers, punching me, threats, etc) on her mother, who she claims to be a 'druggie' (and definately is not,) decided that after saying the word 'monkey' (which she apparently hates) to throw a full carton of milk at me, note, it was open, and chocolate.

I was forced to walk around the rest of the day, with milk stains on my shirt, and my hair all knotted up and sticky. I went and told the lunch moniters, and she was forced to sit in a little cubic 3x3 cell for lunch all that period, and the next day's lunch.

So, of course, her sidekick, (Who we'll call Allison) sticks up for her, and blames it on her parents divorce.

This isnt the first time Corrine has done stuff to me, not in a long shot.

But every single time, we try and get action taken against her, nothing ever happens.

We went about our week, like normal, me ignoring Corrine,

Until Yesterday.
My best friend (Taylor), and corrine, and allison all decided that they were going to ignore me, and say a bunch of crud about me, which isnt true.

That lasted all today, and probably will for a while.

I made arrangements to sit with other friends for a while, possibly the rest of the year.

Then, today.

Corrinne, Taylor, Allison and all their little posse's been treating me like crud lately, and I'm really sick of it. After the whole milk ordeal, everything's been going downhill, as you know. And, also, as you know, Yesterday, they decided to talk about me again, behind my back. Threatening me, saying lies about me, the whole deal. I didn't talk to Taylor all afternoon, or this morning.

She was acting all buddy buddy with me, thinking that nothing was going wrong. Lexy, one of my other friends, noticed I wasnt over in the area where we usually change during Gym. She came over, and asked me what was wrong. Jokingly, she said something along the lines of, 'Why aren't you over here with us? Don't you love me anymore?' {as a joke, of course} I replied with, 'I love you, Lexy. just. not, 2 other people over there.' {both Taylor and Allison are in my Gym class}
As the good friend she is, she said, 'Oh, alright, I'll talk to Taylor.'

Apparently, she talked to Taylor, and Taylor didnt think she was doing anything wrong, or did anything that should get me mad.

That pushed me over the top. I was so mad, it wasnt even funny.
In Science, we partnered up for a lab, and of course, she picks freakend Sydney over me. Which is fine with me, but if she wanted to be friends so bad, why not pick me? I was quite upset about that one.
Then, she just. waited outside the classroom, like always. I didnt even aknowledge her, or anything. just walked right by.

She just thinks she didnt do anything wrong, and that bothers me. a whole lot.


Yeah, some of you might think it's just 'stupid friend problems' but, Taylor's been my friend since like. 3rd grade, and yeah. it just makes me mad.

Just if I disappear, I'm probably off crying, or whatever.

I was up until like. 4:30 last night crying. I couldn't stop.

Just a heads up for all you, and an explaination for those of you who were wondering what was up.




***. More information. About today. I'm just going to keep updating this journal, instead of starting a new one for a little. I dunno.


Well, today. it just got worse.

I'm in the IEP Gifted class, we call it PEG. So, we had to write a huge essay for today, and apparently, it was supposed to be double spaced. Taylor was looking at my essay {She took it off my desk} And she started going on and on about how it needed to be double spaced. I simply said, 'I didnt know.' and she got pissed off at me. so in turn. I got pissed at her. Might sound stupid to you, but honestly, anything puts me over the edge with her. I just need to like. die I swear to god.

Anyway, she announces to the whole fucking locker room that I'm pissed at her, and then loud fat ass mouth Allison screams 'KATIE, IT'S NOT NICE TO BE PISSED OFF'. I replied, 'well, it's not nice to talk about people behind their backs, now is it?'

And then, Taylor's friend Sam, who sits behind me in Soc is always mocking me, and saying, 'GOD. SHUT UP KATIE. NO ONE LIKES YOU.' and 'EW. Why can't you go die in a hole'.

If someone would say that to you, wouldn't that affect you? Honestly, righ... ]]> ~acrosstheway http://acrosstheway.deviantart.com/journal/15581105/ http://acrosstheway.deviantart.com/journal/15581105/ Mon, 19 Nov 2007 18:26:20 PST

Some of you may know, I play furry-paws.com. I'm #354413 on there, if you ever need to reach me. I'm pretty nice...although many can attest to that, I'm also pretty sane. or am I?

LIRL. uhm.

I'm an avid manip maker...I'm not all to sure I can actually do art though O__O

if any of you want to pitch some ideas to me on some new photo manips, please do. I even might let you have it as some gift art.
If you decide to link me to some stock photos, and I do use them you will be credited, and maybe I'll make you a quicky manip or something. xD


I'm pretty much always confused, so if you read or see something like a manip with a weird title, its my stupid short term memory.
xD

OH. and.

ILY CASCAH ♥
