Day after Christmas ramblings...

obliviousally_ljWhat a pain, I have, like, $50 to my name and I need to figure out how to do some laundry and open a bank account (Bank of America has no branches here, so we can't go to sort out this mess that happened with Tony's name change and the account being flagged for fradulent activity because you have to PHYSICALLY go to a bank branch and speak to someone) so we can get our financial aid deposited next week (not this week now, but the first week of January). I'm hoping most banks don't require a huge opening deposit (like, more than $30).
The only thing I've drawn, aside from commissions. Fame Monster (who's based on Lady Gaga) is Angie's and Laurie/Yellow Jacket is, of course, mine. I just wanted to do something stylized and such, really. I like how it came out, but I realized I forgot a few things so I'll have to go back and edit it.
I've been using my Tumblr a whole lot lately. It's just been an easier/more fun/more sociable medium these days. I won't abandon my LJ, but most of my flist has either fallen off the face of the earth or has moved somewhere else. It's also SO much easier to manage multiple blogs over there. So, so much easier.
So, most of what I've been up to is mainly hosted over there. BUT, here IS what I've been up to:

I've also been doing this fun thirty day band challenge.
Aaaaaaaaaaand, if the GIF tutorial I posted the other day didn't tip anyone off, I finally learned how to make GIFs! You can find them HERE. It's mostly Supernatural at the moment, of course.
I realized the other day that many of my characters don't have, like, the basics down. Favorite movies or food or even birthdays! Blasphemy, says I! So I've been working on this thing to try and get those things down for my group of main ones (which has reached, like, 25 or something). Only two of which are canon characters I'm playing or have tweaked to be my own. I barely count Laurie as a canon character anymore because she's become a whole new breed of monster from the Laurie in Watchmen.
The whole chart (what I have done so far) can be found HERE. The color bars link to my COLOURlovers account (well, the specific page for that character's colors). The symbols next to their names link to that respective character's InsaneJournal, the tag for their name on my headpeople Tumblr and their specific collection or set on Polyvore. So, journal - rambling - fashion.
Otherwise, things have been quiet. Christmas wasn't anything special, I gave Tony his late-bought gifts a few days beforehand (Iron Man boxers and two nice - and dirt cheap - tops from Kohls and some peppermint candies). My mom sent me a little money and I bought a cute $3 black skirt that I'm really wanting to wear but I work all week and we don't go anywhere and class doesn't start until the 10th. My life, woe.

Guess who found a box of war letters and old photos while cleaning??? THIS GUY. My mom gave these to me a few years back, they’d been donated to the mission she was going through rehab at and she knows I love old photographs and things like that.
I’d never gotten the chance to really look through them and see who they were to/from (I knew it was someone from my hometown because of the photos in the box), but I’d never researched. BUT! There’s letters from a husband to his wife during WWII, so I’m really excited to pour over them. I’ll probably scan them and the photos (because I have a friend who will really love the local ones, as he’s a local history buff).
