Here's the deal.

There are over 8,ooo devations waiting for me to see them. I cannot do that. I'm barely online as it is.

So!
1. If you're actually reading this
2. If you are or are not in my list
3. If you just wanna!

Please. Give me two links from the past year of things you want me to see - be it 'horrible' to your eyes or not, it doesn't matter. I will be checking up on it soon enough but I WILL go through everyone's bits; I will leave some form of comment discussing the piece presented - at least one sentence. Not three words ("OMG!" "IT IS BEAUTIFUL!" "OH ME WANTSES!"), you will get some form of feedback from me. Believe it.

I'm spending the majority of my time searching for jobs, emailing resumes and filling out applications. Still no job to speak of -- it depresses me.

I am living in a new apartment, I have a good roommate and she has a silly kitty. Who likes to play with my yarn. Ahem. It is spring. And I'm going home this weekend. Am I happy?

No, not really.
Always worried about finances. And it annoys me.

So! If you know anyone who's willing to chuck out my next month's rent in exchange for a four month sketchbook trade (200 pages however they'd like)... show them this [link] . It'll give me an excuse to use my drawing powers for Good. And it will let me know where I'll be heating my ramen up next month.

Also... even though I have the opportunity to switch my major from sculpture to illustration... I think I'm going to stick with sculpture and chuck in a crafts double to boot. For fibers, mainly -- such a degree will come in handy when I go home to work on the farm the rest of my days, surely! ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/7945168/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/7945168/ Mon, 20 Feb 2006 09:26:31 PST [link] < -- Painting up on eBay.

[link] ARTISTIC SERVICES AVAILABLE IF WANTED/NEEDED. Anything goes. Contact for more information.

I've located a place to live from now until at least August and I'll be moving there tomorrow after I sign the lease. Things are moving pretty steadily, I just need to find a job, now.

Hope everyone is doing well. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/7919188/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/7919188/ Thu, 16 Feb 2006 18:38:39 PST

That's right. I'm working on personal / pet projects.

This means I'm working on things I want to work on rather than things that are due for a grade. How is this possible? Connect the dots

I'm also working on contest submissions, grant and scholarship applications, trade pieces for various groups I'm a part of and keeping up with the various resolutions and goals I've set for myself at the beginning of this year.

One of those goals is coming up quite soon -- the Knitting Olympics!

Have been looking for a job-job but, so far, no luck. Have applied for Sallie Mae and was accepted. Loads off my back, there -- so glad I was accepted this time.

How were everyone's holidays? ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/7369713/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/7369713/ Wed, 21 Dec 2005 03:53:56 PST
I don't expect to be online at any one point in time -- at least, not for very long. So have a happy holiday, get yourselves some rest and I'll see you all in the new year.

Who knows if I'll be coming back to Richmond before the new semester starts. We'll see. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/7351863/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/7351863/ Mon, 19 Dec 2005 06:19:53 PST
HOWEVER, printing is go -- Brian at E.Main Kinko's got my order and we discussed it just a moment ago over the phone. 11am pick-up.

Brian is a life saver.

EDIT: So! In one hour I walked five miles. Go me.

The book(let) turned out oh-so-much better than I had thought it would! And he had it ready thirty minutes before I had requested which is... a bonus.

Not sure if we'll be getting these back tomorrow or if they're going to be staying a while in Mr. Miller's hands for perusal.

... let's not talk about price right now. It's what I wanted and it looks good and it's for a final project. It's good. We won't be making any more of these unless they're black and white with a double page full colour, mmkay?

47 pages (front/back) with the book dummy and then the tasks through the entire semester.

...

It's all worth it. Every time I look a the thing I'm giddy. I swear, it's not natural to be so happy over something so silly


Other than that, I go home wednesday morning. Hoorah! ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/7210585/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/7210585/ Sat, 03 Dec 2005 09:22:54 PST
I've taught myself how to dry felt with felting needles, too -- directly related to my final for sculpture studio. As soon as the finals are all over and done, I'll go home for a week and come back here -- to Richmond -- to work the rest of the winter break in order to pay for the rest of what I owe on fall semester.

This means I'll be open for commissions just after christmas. I'll only take on a small handful, though, as I'd like to work on personal art a bit. I don't get much of a chance for that while school is in session.

This semester has been largely about sheep and exorsising my childish tendancies. I think I'm going to try to be a bit more serious next semester -- nose to the grinding stone and all that.

Mum is looking at the possibility of adding yet another horse to our small herd -- he would bring the total to six and he hails from Pennsylvania... which might mean another New Years drive and, possibly, a new tradition. We're in the process of becoming a registered non-profit organization as far as the horse rescue and rehabilitation center is concerned. Things are moving along nicely enough.

I'm taking care of myself as best I can, I do try to get some sleep when my body needs it and -- even if I'm not hungry -- I keep myself on a good eating habit.

Things can only get better from here. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/6966179/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/6966179/ Sat, 05 Nov 2005 20:45:59 PST
Did a painting in public today at the Brunswick Stew Festival for their 'The Market is Your Canvas' competition -- 4th out of five. Great feeling, finishing a painting 4'x8' in just four and a half hours. Better feeling knowing that the money won from that will help pay off some of my debts.

Working on my book dummy for Illustration for Children. Coming along. Much more work to do, though -- pages completed? 2/24

Sculpture piece due this friday D: NOT looking forward to that. But I do have a B- in my sculpture studio, so that's AWESOME. I feel a bit inferiour in that course with my abilities :\

Still need to finish up my Ten Clubs piece for Niko's. GRAH, too much to do!! I'm sorry it's not done yet ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/6666881/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/6666881/ Mon, 03 Oct 2005 08:37:24 PDT

Noon:
Arrr, I've been in hot persuit of the dubloons promised me by that rapscallion what goes by the name Vee Cee You.

Swam through a sea of aimlessly wandering university students! Dodged peril by the sharp teeth of sharks*! Crossed the Boulevard straights, lads and lassies... all for not. Damned my quest was, as I met my match -- the dreaded Refurbishment.

Vee Cee You has thwarted me with that age old phrase: The Princess is in another castle. Play games with me? Avast! Me chase is getting cunning. I'll have to wage full-out war on 730 East Broad Street if I want me dubloons badly enough.

*Sharks of course refers to the man-eating beasts trying to sell things to poor college students on the streets between here and there. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/6394250/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/6394250/ Fri, 02 Sep 2005 04:42:18 PDT






Also, I would like to say that I wish I could do something to help those affected by Hurricane Katrina -- unfortunately, the only thing I have to give is space in my apartment and some food while they're here. I'm in Richmond, so it's kind of hard to displace some one this far north.

Going off to collect dryer lint, now. Like the poor-ass bum I am, I have to resort to harvesting fuzzy leavings in public clothes dryers so I can make things for my sculpture studio. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/6061435/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/6061435/ Thu, 28 Jul 2005 20:02:15 PDT
Oh wait, that's what I've been doing. Nevermind.

Sorry for the lack of updates, slowly progressing (by slowly, I mean a few strokes of lead every two days) on my sketches for the next watercolour piece... ugh. I don't want to work on it any more. Too many rodents, so little time for meeeee.

Love you all, I try to look at everything whenever I'm on dA. 587D = lots of things to look at, though, so I'm sorry if I don't comment an awful lot D:

Luff, though. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/5793320/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/5793320/ Wed, 29 Jun 2005 16:55:24 PDT [link] <= Last Unicorn watercolour painting auction ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/5427854/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/5427854/ Sun, 22 May 2005 09:05:08 PDT ) but haven't been able to get the application to them since a) I don't have a car, b) I don't have a valid drivers license and c) we're never in town and the little brother's a prick since he won't take it up there for me since he works there, himself.

So I've kinda settled with myself doing art for 'a living' while I'm home for the summer. NO I'm not doing commissions right now (maybe later, though). I'm going to follow my bliss and see where it takes me. Like with the watercolour I'm doing right now ...which I don't currently want to finish.

Tomorrow my funds should look nice for a few hours (yay, I get my last pay!) until I pay off my debt to the school and FINALLY register for fall classes Sculpture studio, Crafts 1) textiles (making fabrics) and 2) glasswork (blowing glass, stained glass, and so on) studios aaaaand...

Well, I still need to top everything off with an arts foundation course since I missed too many classes in one of my tech labs (figure drawing II) and failed it before I could blink I'm not retaking that one, though. I'll settle for having a flag on my report if I can GET AWAY FROM THAT RUSSIAN PROFESSOR ugh. I can't understand him all that well to begin with and then he likes to talk with his hands over his mouth (around, in front of, beside, just underneath) so I can't read his lips.... I dun likee that T-T So I'm going to try to steal a spot in a Digital Lab class... hopefully I'll be able to learn the tricks to those darned Apple computers/programs.

And I need to find another arts-related course. So I can fill up on arts for fall and take all of my GenEd in spring and get those over with. So much fun

...

Yeah, I'm alive and kicking and enjoying my freedom while I have it. Enjoying it so much, in fact, that I'm sitting around away from the computer and reading books for the first time in a few years Ah, this is the life. Doctor Who novels that I've had since last summer that I'm just now getting to read.

My 3-D/2-D column pieces (which I do not currently have pictures of) have gotten picked to go on to the semi-finals for the column contest.

[link]
[link]

If they get chosen to move onto finals, they will be displayed at the Main Art and Frame gallery for the entire summer and I have the choice of pricing the piece, 50% of the commission goes to the gallery. Top placing column recieves a $500 credit at the Main Art store (but I doubt I'll get that far).

I'll know if I was chosen on May 4th. Last exam for me is May 6th (not even an exam, I just have to be in the classroom for a split second is all). Biology 101 final is May 5th.

Have to finish up my Doctor Who cutouts piece and another 2-D design piece (in colour, yay!) before next friday. Hopefully both will be done before Tuesday (which will be our last 2-D design class).

...thinking about doing the colour piece around 'Ink' a bit. I want to, I really really do. Dunno yet, though.

If you haven't watched the new Doctor Who series, yet, I highly recommend it! Even if you've never seen Doctor Who before, this is your prime opportunity to begin even folks around the studio who have never heard of it before have gotten hooked on it (I watched the new series on my computer while I was working on my projects) -- they can be downloaded from Bit Torrent, if you've missed them or if you are in America and can't get them on TV (or on DVD region 1 -- Amazon.com will have region 2 out in may).


EDIT: Oh, yeah. Mistic-Constellation is back online. Which means I have the urge to do things with it.

2-D half of column project -- finished. Watercolours and coloured pencil on marbled paper.
3-D half of column project -- getting there, slowly but surely! I've been in the studio since thursday working and working and working. Last night about 3am... I got stuck. I didn't know how I would be able to make the darn thing stand upright properly (it's very much top heavy); solved the problem with copper tubing. Wondering if I'll need the smaller gauge tubing, as the larger bit seems to be holding it's own... could return the smaller for a refund. Extra funds in the checkbook is a good thing. I'd be placing the refunded money into the savings account and act like I'd spent it. Whee.

Not really done, but I can't find my materials and it's due today. So, yeah, it's done.

2-D design project; Doctor Who theme. Planned out. Not nearly half done, but there's a half star. 25-2" blocks to do, whee.
Loan proposal.
Summer column project.
Summer sketchbook venture. I've got a hard-back 8.5"x11" 110 sheet/220 page sketchbook that I'll be filling with things. Not just half-baked things, either, some really finished things. Probably have almost all of them really finished. It'll be for sale as soon as it's finished. And it will probably have a plush cover to it to mimic my current sketchbook (although my current one is sculpey clay and fake wool...)

2-D design project -- working with colours; due tuesday (or before friday, whichever).

Tired, but such is life. On with the show. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/5151671/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/5151671/ Thu, 21 Apr 2005 18:20:26 PDT Mood: Hah. Sleep-deprived

Wow. Paid status. For whatever reason. Thanks, dA, I've always wanted to know what it felt like to be a subscriber! If I actually had money pouring out of my ears, I think I'd subscribe in a heartbeat, now. Wow. So good. *licks it*

Anyway, I'm running off of seven hours sleep in the past three days. And an all-nighter looms above my head, followed by class at 8:30am. Working on my column project right now and I have to start designing 25 Doctor Who symbols black-and-white for 2-D design.

Just wanted to stop by to say that my colour theory teacher from the beginning of the semester just came in for the third time this week praising me for the work I do and congradulating me for having been accepted into the number one sculpture department in the nation.

Despite the lack of sleep (and lack of sugary goodness in the form of carbonated beverages), life is good.

Now all I need is a bit of enthusiasm, a pinch of tv in the background and this nagging sense of something wrong to *go away*. Because, seriously. I have work to do.

And I finally have the materials to do the work with.

(Not to mention the fact that I've paid off roughly half of my debt to the university this afternoon -- a great deal of weight lifted from my shoulders.) ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/5059940/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/5059940/ Thu, 14 Apr 2005 12:16:27 PDT
Did, however, get into sculpture (2nd choice) and everyone that knows me seems to be outraged oO; I find nothing different between illustration and sculpture other than format, soooo... *shrugs* Wanna know how I'm looking at it?

At least I got accepted into the arts department and I won't be stuck in limbo for another two semesters.

[EDIT]
[link] <- about the sculpture department

Aaaand: Although this department does not require it’s students to purchase a computer for it’s classes, the university does require that our students have a computer while attending VCU.

That makes me happy. One less worry for me, and that's a hell of a lot better than worrying about where I was going to come up with $2,5oo for an apple with all of the programs and things I was going to end up needing for comm.arts!

Soooo....


homework for 2-D design tech lab (I'll just keep the progression of stars going, here )
study for biology 101 exam that I have in the morning xx; [didn't bother... oops?]
finish concept drawings for final studio piece (I'll try to remember to scan in my sketches, they're pretty wicked, really...) [have scans, no you can't see them yet]
make piece from sketches (forgot my heavy gauge wire in the truck ><;; this... is bad... this... means I have to buy a whole roll to myself and that... gets pretty expensive) [won't get paid until friday, money won't roll over until monday -- dunno if I can get the wire from mum this weekend or not]
book art (more than likely a summer project) [UPDATE: coming along with a theme/story line sort of thing based on 'seems' from a past entry]
another summer project (haha, you won't know what it is until I've finished it!) [bwahaha, you'll never guess ]
commission-traditional; angus breed [still on the back burners -- will start on these after classes end]

...I want my ABLOO on cd, not on iTunes that I can't bring with me because I don't have an iPoo ... err... iPod. T-T

Court Friday. Pick up portfolio on Monday - also see if I've gotten into my prefered school within the VCU school of the arts. Hopehopehopehopehope. And I'll see about scanning the coloured pencil horses piece, as I did finish it up last week.

Money is looking better, now -- my paperwork went through and now I just need to turn in my hours. Little more than 121 hours since February first. Yay for work!

I'll have just enough to pay off my debt to the school and have a little left over. As soon as school lets out, I'll be taking commissions again.

And, hopefully, I can apply for the loan I was thinking of applying for to start my equine rescue/rehab this summer, as well. Wantwantwant to do this, and... ya know what? It'll give me something to push and strive for over the summer.

I await decision by department heads over the course of the next week and find their decisions on April 11th.

Went to bed at 5pm yesterday and didn't wake up until about 3am this morning >>; Going back to sleep again in a few minutes Yay for a lazy weekend.

School ends in a little more than a month.

And there is such a lovely just-rained smell wafting in through the window.

Spring break is almost over, but mum and I decided we would be going to a horse auction today to get a feel about what the prices tend to run in this area.

We have a new puppy -- a blue heeler named =O Blue! She's frisky. And likes socks. And chews on your hair when you're trying to sleep ><;

Mum and I also talked about an apartment for me. She thinks it's a good idea to get an apartment in Richmond on my own so I start credit lines and things of that nature, but also so I can work all year next year. It's kind of hard to save money when you're only working during the times you're at college, everything tends to go *to* college. So I'm planning on getting a place of my own around the first part of August.

The oil painting that I did a few weekends ago will be up for sale, soon, so anyone who is interested, let me know . I'll have pictures of it soon enough; as soon as I get back to school, we're going to take pictures. We haven't fully decided if we're taking me back tomorrow or monday (I'm hoping we can squeeze me in tomorrow, since da has a doctor's appointment monday and that will shoot my day apart, really).

I'm also thinking about selling my sculpture from last semester; we're getting pictures of that, as well.

Trying to get everything together for my portfolio, which is due on April 1st.

...court April 8th.

The State Veterinarian came to visit this past Tuesday to see Cinnamon and Spice, and check out the entire farm. The words out of his lips? "I don't see why I'm here." So we're going to have an official report from him saying that there's nothing wrong with either horse, nothing wrong with any of the other animals on the property and nothing wrong with the property itself. (We've gotten harrassed by several 'other' different people as of late saying that our goats are starving and freezing to death and my Cinnamon was skin and bones -- the woman is just trying to do anything within her power to get my girls taken away from me.)

I won't know if I'm accepted into the Illustration department until *after* my day in court. Because that's just how things fell.

Out of school in May.

Birthday (21!) on July 1st.

Moving out August, starting school again (depending on what my portfolio gets from the review) and hoping for the best.

I'll try to keep up with everyone, but for now... I'm just trying to get as much sleep as I possibly can. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4755768/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4755768/ Mon, 07 Mar 2005 21:15:18 PST
Even though there is a communal 'kitchen' area on each floor, it's mandatory to have a meal plan. Room, for nine months, is $4,841 -- and no stay-overs for any of the breaks.

I've looked at a few of the rental options on the VCU website (they have a section where people can post properties up for rent) the average cost is about $3,000 for twelve months....

I need to make a decision in the morning before 9am.

In other news, tonight was spiffeh. It also sucked. There will be no mention of what made each category, but there needs to be known that both occurred ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4737945/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4737945/ Sun, 06 Mar 2005 03:47:28 PST

Oil painting. DONE. Roughly 9 hours yesterday and roughly 7 hours today. Total, roughly 16 hours of work. 24"x18", I think. It might be bigger.

Self-portrait in pencil, 18"x24" -- for figure drawing class (the man is a bitch, honestly, but he knows his stuff -- I'll plod through his class and absorb what I can and ignore his snide comments w/thick russian accent). [WOO! Done. 6:46am... which means it took me all of six hours, as I started on it at 1am...)

Artsy self-portrait. I've got it all planned out And, no. I'm not telling. Will be mixed media, 18"x24".

And that's all I have planned for myself this weekend.

Next weekend is spring break and I will be able to RELAX because all of this stuff will be behind me. Oh, yes, there will be time to relax next week, thank goodness. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4733950/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4733950/ Sat, 05 Mar 2005 10:36:16 PST
And I was planning on going out to get some breffie after I woke up this morning (because I sorta NEED it)...

...but it's snowing T-T

So I guess I'll wait until closer to dinner to eat. I have cookies and some nabs to tide me over until then (yay, I'm shmart and plan ahead).

So... so far, I've spent about NINE hours on this thing. Minus three trips to the water fountain and four stretches of the legs/visiting of other over-nighters to see what they were doing.

(Someone else was in this studio room when I woke up... she's playing her radio... I kinda wanted my own music, but this is fine. I guess.) ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4719167/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4719167/ Thu, 03 Mar 2005 12:30:36 PST Dear Students,

This is not related to class, but I thought I would pass on the opportunity for you to directly help children in Iraq if you would like. The email below is from the brother of one of our biology faculty members (Dr. John Ryan) who is stationed in a Sunni town in Iraq. The school conditions for children are deplorable and he is asking for any items you might have to spare (see list below) to be sent. You can ship directly to Dr. Ryan's brother, or you can give the items to me and I will make sure they are shipped. This is completely voluntary.

Thanks, Ms. Reid

Hey Everyone,

This is just a little request. If you could put the word out on this issue, I think in our own little way we might be able to make an influential impact. Last week I went into three different schools here that our unit is overseeing. It was something that I couldn't have imagined unless I had seen it with my own eyes. Every school that I went into had ceilings that leaked; there were three students per bench (3' in length), 375 children for 5 classrooms, and hardly any school materials. The teachers barely had any chalk, and the boards themselves were in a decrepit state, the bathrooms were something that almost made me vomit.


As far as recreation, children in the schools don't have any soccer balls, frisbees, or anything for that manner. The children basically just go out and play. Keep in mind it's in the middle of a war zone. Here's the list if you think you might be able to help. If you can't I perfectly understand, and don't feel bad. Keep in mind though; we have to start with the kids here. When children are at certain age little things like that have a lasting impression, and also when they see American soldiers walking into their classes with that flag on, who knows maybe it will cut down on incoming fire.

Iraqi School Supply List

Pens of all types
Pencils
Pencil Sharpeners
Boxes of Chalk, and Different Colors
Book Bags
Spiral Notebooks/Binders
Writing Tablets
Book Ends
Packs of Index Cards
Paper Clips
Pad Locks
Erasers
Basically All Sorts of office Supplies
Soccer Balls
Kick Balls
Frisbees
(No Baseball, or Woffaball Bats)

Keep in mind, most of this stuff you guys probably have sitting around your house, or office and more than likely won't ever be used. I'm telling you after what I saw, just about anything for the students would make a big difference. Thanks for taking the time to think this over.

Feel free to pass it around. This is not a scam for items; this is from Ms. Jill Reid, a biology professor at VCU ( Virginia Commonwealth University).

If you would like the address, please note me -- I would rather not have it public forum, even though it would probably get more notice... its just that there are so many people out there doing things they have no business doing. If you want the addy, just note me ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4707303/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4707303/ Tue, 01 Mar 2005 23:22:26 PST
FUCKING GO TO SLEEP PLZKTHX. The neighbours just woke me from a dead sleep. Maybe it was a trigger word of "OW" that did it, I don't fucking know, but I'm pissed. I was finally warm*, I was getting some much needed sleep and now I can't get back to my happy place D:

I don't keep other people up at night and I've never woken anyone up the entire time I've been here. I've been quiet, I've been peaceable. Hell, I've even given folks the time of day when I didn't feel like it. But any time I try to sleep or I have a headache, it's seemingly directly related to some dumb-fuck in this building.




*I was cold all day and couldn't maintain a comfortable body temperature. Not fun. This on top of a bunch of other stuff-gone-wrong today didn't help. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4671525/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4671525/ Fri, 25 Feb 2005 16:07:28 PST

Umm...

I revert back to this post.

And you know what? I, for one, am pretty certain that if you sat Bush down in front of the television with Love Hina on, he'd sit there going "Ahahaha. Sue likes bananas."

And I'm pretty sure that if you sat him down in front of Excel Saga he would laugh at Excel's hijinks and the fact that Hyatt slinks around everywhere because she's too weak to move like a normal person. I bet he wouldn't even understand the implications between her and the banana in the opening credits.

Just because it's part of the popular culture doesn't mean it's corrupting anyone. Nor does it mean it is the devil's work. Because, you know what? If 'popular' = 'devil', then what the hell do you consider christianity? Hmm? Answer me!

(No, I'm not trodding on the religious aspects, et cetera -- at least, I don't mean to. I'm pointing out how many people go to church because they did it when they were little and they continue to do so now because they feel it's what they're supposed to do. Or those that take things a little too far with conversions and such, forcing their beliefs upon someone else. I don't do it to anyone, I let everyone make their own choices, triumphs and failures. It is the only way anyone learns.)

Just....

Our society, as a whole, is - seemingly - falling apart.

Now, as far as work stuff is concerned...

Okay... here's the deal:
I'm currently not up for pushing myself to do things (re: blah, don't feel like doing things anymore and keep having things piled on top of the things I haven't done -- therefore am sitting under a mountain of crap / things that need to be done but I can't be bothered to do because I feel like utter shite and need a good smacking).

So I'm making lists all over the place so I keep reminding myself that I need to do them. Or else.

So here we go:

SLEEP MORE YOU IDIOT ... yeah, I don't sleep anywhere near enough. And I'm an idiot for doing so, even though when I don't sleep it's because I'm not sleepy.
Eat more, too. Mmm, sushi.
Try some coffee. You know you hate it, but it's good to try new things. Starbucks looks good.
Find good water to make tea with xx; I have tea, but hate the way the dorm water tastes. And hot tea is a comfort thing for me T-T Haven't had any since back before school started in August.

Apparently it's sleeting outside. And I've gotten into a depressed mood.

I have a 40"x26" piece of paper that I have to cover in charcoal. I need to come up with a story, story boards and character reference sheets for an animated short....

...colour theory homework.
...and biology reviewing.

I feel horrible for purchasing materials yesterday, which has left me with just over $40 in my checking account. I still don't have my art history book, yet.... And I need to finish filling out my final applications for my new job before I can start work this tuesday.

But. But. I have sculpey. That only cost me $5 for a 1-pound box. And when I have the opportunity to do so, I'm going to get into that and just start making something.

Because, yeah. I don't feel like doing shit right now.

...I've attended two colour theory classes. And both times I wasn't "registered" as being a part of the class. I've been there, though, but Sandra doesn't have my name on the roll. Both the class list and my registration info say that I'm supposed to be there, so screw anyone who tells me otherwise. I'm supposed to be there.

And I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the fuck is going on with my card, since it doesn't allow me access into the studio. Yet it lets me do everything else.

I keep telling myself that things will be fine if I just let them fall into place, but I keep wondering if I'm just lying to me, here. Come on, why would the 'revised' class roster that was updated yesterday morning and given to Sandra NOT HAVE MY NAME ON IT when I'm most clearly registered in the class? Why won't my card work?

...if I have to lean on someone else to open the studio door for me every friday morning and every lab-night, I will most likely go insane before spring break gets here.

Its funny, really. I walk all about the library, looking for something to clear my head a bit. Eyes went fuzzy walking back from biology. They do that now and then, I don't know why. Quite possibly due to lack of sleep.

At any rate, I meander into the library, up to the fourth floor. Eyes clear and I mutter to myself odd titles here and there. "Nothing. Nothing? Nothing, tra-la-la?" I'm serious. There was a book entitled Nothing, though I cannot for the life of me remember the author. Curious, really, that a book white with black lettering should pop out at me so. Also curious that such a title would make me chant out something so silly from a movie for no reason.

Not finding anything worth keeping my attention for more than three seconds at a time (Oh, I love chanting Shakespeare, Dickens, Shelley and any other writer's name under my breath as I pass their volumes. It is most amusing, to be sure.) I made my way down to the 3rd floor... finding nothing, I jaunt to the second.

And I find this odd gentleman looking up at me from a reading table, apparently amused. So, of course, I smile back and keep walking. Straight to the back of the building to the other stairway. Yay, another stairway. Down I go, not bothering to look towards more titles, just looking towards getting out of the building and back to the dorm where I belong.

Who did I spy coming towards me at the stairwell in front of the main doors? Only that odd gentleman, beaming at me something fierce. Odd. Quite.

He stops me and mentions that I only had one glove on. And asked why. And for the life of me, you know what? I couldn't quite remember. Mind fog, apparently.

Library. That's right.

"It isn't a sort of fashion statement, then? Did you lose one of your gloves, perhaps?"

...nooooo.... I neglected to remember that I had taken the right-hand glove off and pocketed it as soon as I began to peruse the books. Kind of hard to flip through tomes with gloves on, you know?

...he wished me a good day and many more days to flip through books.

So, I suppose, he seemed amused due to my hand lacking seams.

...ignore me. I've been up for 25 hours. And I still haven't had anything more than a small amount of sushi and a handful of M&Ms.

Not to mention almost 60 ounces of Mountain Dew. *twitch* ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4407805/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4407805/ Tue, 25 Jan 2005 00:47:51 PST
If you haven't noticed, I'm currently dabbling more into the digital realm of artwork (oh-ho, don't worry kiddies, I'm still dabbling with more traditional forms of medium -- just tonight, for instance, I started a colour theory class which will press me to create my very own 'colour theory' book via notes in class, online, my own thoughts, et cetera. And I still have my all-day-friday studio class to keep me busy. ) ...

...I've gotten addicted to doodling in Flash, now.

And I won't be ashamed to admit that I am very VERY tempted to take my laptop into bio-lecture tomorrow to CONTINUE fiddling around with this program.

OMG I LUFF EET.

I'm doodling King Solon Kantalgian Flaotreian Darnestille The Valliant, at the moment (okay, so... if you don't know who that is, don't worry about the background history he's an old-legends king of dragons from the back-history of Gallitrexia... he helped stop the wide-spread famines among the human populace and condemned the future practice of dragon flesh as gormet delicacies... yum )... If I can get this to animate? OMG I will love Flash forever and ever and ever amen.

*cough*

...I need to stop doing that.

Anyway, bored out of my mind. And I've had a little too much soda for the night. Considering the fact that I've only had a little bit of sushi to eat in a little over 24 hours (plus a handful of M&Ms somewhere down the road)...

...40 ounces of Mountain Dew is a little bit too much sugar to have taken in in the course of three hours.

WHEE!

EDIT: AHA! I found my story [link] ... its collab between myself and an aquaintance from way back when... Don't bother asking, you're likely to wind up with a headache

All you really need to know is the following description to understand what I'm doodling:

*As they file in, they come face to face with an enormous dragon, half again the size of his fellows, and very old. A strangely human silvery beard hangs from his snout, and his scales are a pale blue-green. Blue-white horns, almost like small antlers, extend narrowly from the back of his head, and an elaborate, gem-studded gold crown perches amongst them. He stares at the newcomers with only slightly grumpy curiousity* ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4384592/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4384592/ Sat, 22 Jan 2005 10:58:37 PST

Ugh.

Too much work, not enough time. I've been spending 12+ hours a day at the farm all of my winter break, alone and in the cold... making sure that things were taken care of. Making sure that nothing happened to my Cinnamon or Spice.

Speaking of which, I have court on Friday (21st) for custody of them both. She's sueing me for $2300. Bleh.

We have two NEW horses, all the way from Bernsville, Pennsylvania. They're rescue foals and their quarentine is almost up. We came home with them right at midnight New Year's Eve.

Tomorrow begins classes at VCU. HOWEVER, I'm not yet registered for classes. Due to the fact that I don't have a tetnus booster in the last ten years and I don't have 2nd dose of MMR. WTF? I don't need either (according to my physician), yet they're not allowing me to register until I get them. Yet I was able to sign a waiver to not have to bother with the monogocciclewhateverthehellitis.... How screwed up is that?

...I get both vaccinations tomorrow (I hope) at the VCU immunizations... thing. In the afternoon. So I can register for classes late tomorrow.

...I miss the entire first day back at school.
...I'll have one full day of class and, maybe, most of Thursday.

Thursday, mum comes to get me so I won't be late for court early Friday morning.

Rough week. Rough everything.
So cold.
...need to finish packing.

I also have a cafepress thing up [link] and a Zazzle thing [link] -- for the Zazzle, in order to view half the things up there, you need an account and you need to have your settings bumped up from 'G' to 'PG-13' due to mild/artistic nudity. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4032013/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/4032013/ Fri, 10 Dec 2004 05:36:37 PST Mistic-constellation(dot)com

After debating and hitting myself for even thinking about it, I've decided to sell my Ink piece. I've got a gorgeous detailed scan of it (and I'm going to get a higher res one before its out of my hands for printing so I can add it to my portfolio...) and I just don't need the original. I need the cash instead

Such is life.

Again, its this piece: Ink -- watercolours on 12"x16" Windsor and Newton 140lb cold pressed watercolour paper, signed and dated. Actual image is roughly 11"x15" with a half-inch border around it.

I'm not sure if I should just give an out-right price for it or put it up on furbid... even though the only thing remotely furbid-ish about it would be the centauress. I'd be asking $75, just because it took so damn long and I nearly lost my sanity putting all the little details and things into it.

All funds from the eventual sale of Ink will be used to finish paying off this semester's (fall) tuition at Virginia Commonwealth University's School of the Arts.

All right, here's the deal. I'm currently doing my best to find a job while I'm here, away at college. Its a big city and you would think that I'd be able to find a job by now, after several months of looking, eh?

No, no I haven't. Which is disheartening.

Even more so when I know that I haven't got any money left to finish paying off my tuition. Which means I can't register for classes for spring semester -- until it's paid off for at least this month.

This month's tuition comes up to a little over $300 (I don't have the exact amount at the moment, I won't be able to access my account until tomorrow afternoon -- yay for weekends) and... yeah...

I currently have $10 to my name... and that's a check that I haven't deposited into my check book, yet... which currently holds -$1.80...

So if you'd like to help -- I have a lot of six pieces up for auction on FurBid which starts at $10

I know most of you here are in hard times just like I am, but... yeah, if you want to commission me for things, go for it. I'll put you top priority next only to my school work. Mind, it can't be HUGE pieces and, sure, detail is fine. Keep it around 8.5"x11" as far as paper size, though? It's just easier, I think... digital or traditional, makes no difference to me. Any genre, that's fine. No extremely explicit things, though I don't think I have to say that, but still...

...

$5 pencil sketch
$8 shaded pencil sketch
$10 ink outlined pencil sketch
$15 ink outlined with shadows/coloured pencil stuff (yay for such sophisticated terms)
$20-$30 for really detailed stuff, sure

Anything else we can discuss, not a problem...

If you just wanna send me pocket change, everything is welcome. Paypal, donations@mistic-constellation.com

Pass the word around, stellie's taking commissions. I just don't dare make this post public around livejournal, or certain people there will lap it up like frenzied man-pups after a bitch in heat .-. I'm not going into all the details... it just won't be pretty, let's leave it at that.

I go find something to preoccupy myself with, now. ]]> ~eccentricone http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/3352157/ http://eccentricone.deviantart.com/journal/3352157/ Mon, 13 Sep 2004 03:36:05 PDT
