So, what's new? Nobody asked, but I think updates can document areas of growth or whatever so let's start with a good one:

Well, I'm currently learning 3 languages> Korean, Norwegian, and Haitian Creole - I say "learning" loosely, when really Duolingo is primarily my teacher right now. But look- if you can stick with it and make it a habit to do a lesson (or as much as you can) everyday, I think it's worth mentioning. I'm able to recall or detect in daily life what I've learned and oddly enough it has improved my mood and even the view I have of myself. New habits aren't easy to make after all and I'm on a 132 day streak ...Most likely to fall out of the Diamond League this week, but still an achievement!


Next: I have hit a milestone age and I'm falling apart accordingly. The bright side of me falling apart is that I, after a long long looong span of complaining about how bad I feel, finally went to the doctor and got confirmation that something really is wrong. The fact that I note this as a good thing is kinda sad- I'm just happy...firstly that my self diagnosis was spot on (pfft... look at meeee an expert in the fielddduhhh *applause*), but also that now I know officially what the issues are and what treatment is available. I hate going to the doctor, but I could've died y'all. I stand... no... I sit before you well informed and with 3 supplements and a referral in hand! I'm not quite okay yet, but I'm awaiting follow up appointments.


I am gearing up to move far far away... Alright not thaaat far, but far enough for it to feel like a super big deal. If all goes well I might actually have a little brand spanking new house that's fully paid for and that I designed myself. Let's hope I happily revisit this post next year and have the best of news to tell.


I GOT A MAAAN... is probably an update someone somewhere is hoping to hear. Oh? No one is concerned about that? Well, I'm not concerned either. heh heh... Honestly the chaos that's been hitting here is enough to put any of those thoughts to rest or on the backburner. Art has even been on the backburner over and over for a while- (posting a digital work still in progress when I get a moment btw). Heyyy off subject I got new furniture though lol. I'm happy to have the friends I have cuz it's enough - the relationships we have now are extremely precious and mutually strong thanks to time and all we've been through- the real ones actually stay even when you're busy being a blockhead. I appreciate being accepted as the blockhead I am. 😬


I have secret merch now btw... keep an eye out in 2023. Still drawing/painting custom journal covers for those interested, DM and I may just accept your commission. πŸ˜‰


gotta get back to work =_=# ttyl party people <3 Ja, jeg liker deg :P ha en god dag og... πŸ€—πŸ’•

So I just got back from the assembly this weekend (which was so awesome and informative!) and I thought why not write a journal to let ppl know I'm still alive. And here we are: I STILL EXIST! Lol

On Twitter I'm getting used to posting useless info and retweeting everything - took me a while to justify my use of that crappy form of SM but it's proving to be more than I hoped for. For example Adande (sWooZ1e) finally followed me on Twitter and faved a couple of my messages...WOOT WOOT?!!!?! Lol It's sort of a big deal :p

Art-wise: still working on the same project from earlier this month...Yeah.

I was told from my friend that I was "freaking gorgeous". Now I feel awkward cuz my friend's a him. Β·_Β· And I have to see him every week.

Met some awesome people this weekend and I'm doing awesome things as of late so everything is AWESOME! Btw I'm really sad for a couple of reasons cuz I lost a friend- not in death but it feels that way.

Get back to you in a bit!

I'm not joking. It's just another day. And i'd consider it offensive if you read this and still posted one.

I've got interviews with our customers to shoot tomorrow and those vids to edit for youtube and the biz website so i'm jittery and blehhh in anticipation. Gotta put the last few touches on the biz website too- it is looking great so far...Whoduhthunk i'd be designing an hvac website?

Finally ordered a replacement for my kindle- an UPGRADE. I can't wait to get it!!! 32 GB of AWESOME :D www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008…

Oh and i'm thinking of opting out of being an Avon Rep. I can't get any straight answers from support and the rep site is awful- not to mention they make you spend more on marketing yourself than you'd proli ever make for one campaign. Think I'll just be a customer from now on and order from my friend. Don't get me wrong: i <3 AVON. It's just that I expected more from such an old and widely known company, at least their website anyways.

ART ART ART... I'm working on a request. Two people in the same pic will be a tad difficult as far as organizing layers and keeping with the same style for both. Watch one will look real and the other cartoon-y. :roll:

I gotta buy some make-up and clothes. I look...sad. lol you'll see when i'm skyping on my new tablet. Writing one fictional story atm. Hope I don't lose it when switching kindles. Oh i'd KILL in that case. Took me forever to type what i've got. 

Anywho, I NEED UPDATES!!! HOW ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING THESE DAYS? Message me :)

Shattered-Writer


I haven't been feeling my best lately- no I'm not sick again, thank God, still 'yours truly' has been depressed for a while now. But, finally, he got me back to doing this :)

Getting Back

I finally replied to a handful of people the other day and ended up talking at length with Shattered-Writer regarding my recent emotional state...Really IDK why but the venting seemed to just flow that night and I finally started feeling a bit better after that conversation. So, you can owe my being back on dA to him and thank him for my start on fulfilling favors and requests...cuz I've been really jacked up as far as that's concerned. This will be a long drawn out feature/update on my status, so yeah, let me clear my throat...errr uhh ready my typing fingers.

He Writes!

For some reason, guys that are at least a little bit into general or romantic poetry are just more appealing, ya know?* And since I am seemingly drawn to reading poetry, of course I had to see if this writer had any. Shattered-Writer has five poems that I know of, and out of them all, I was truly enthralled by his collab with Lunar--Raven on "Together Forever". I missed reading EXCEPTIONAL poetry while I was offline and this brought back my love for it. >>

*(Seriously though if you are a guy you should really try impressing a girl with poetry- even if it's crappy she'll post it up because it was meant for her. Just sayin'.)


He has also been penning chapter upon chapter of his very own story "Gifted". It takes a whole lot of determination, drive, and vision to take on the task of writing on a regular basis and Shattered-Writer has got it. From what I have read I'd definitely keep an eye on this one for sure. Mark my words: he'll spin out a best-seller one of these days. :) If you'd like to judge for yourself:

<da:thumb id="369884959"/><da:thumb id="370031240"/><da:thumb id="370265093"/>

These are just 3 of the 10 chapters he's done :)

HERE'S HIS MOST RECENTLY ADDED CHAPTER



Gratitude

I've noticed many people these days either question their ability to really help someone by what they say or use no tact and hope it was the stab to the heart the person in need needed. Sometimes the best course of action is to just talk and aim to make someone laugh. Shattered-Writer gave me that and the advice to just write anyways- to write myself out of my 'pit of despair'. It's actually helping. I look at galleries that aren't too far from what I submit and try not to have such an unusually high expectation of what I can achieve. What I do achieve is great in that I had no formal training to begin with not only that, but I'm different from the lot in the way in which I think and complete my art. He made me come to the realization that I'm not failing at my art, that the ups and downs are necessary and while I continue to whine about me myself and I, someone out there thinks that "a writer of my stature" is still someone to look up to and watch. Isn't that a reason to be happy in itself? :D

I thank Shattered-Writer for the smile I have now and for showing me what progress as a writer looks like. Also for all the sweet comments and kind gestures...Really y'all have no idea how much each and every comment, note, fave, and email has meant to me.

<<Go check out the latest from Shattered-Writer>>


ALSO...

A shout-out goes to JustAnAmateur the sweet, princepalmi my prince, and Outcast111 my hate-able love-able frienemy.
 
Many hugs to all of you, but in this case, especially to Shattered-Writer.
