Elfwood is full of fags.

I know this is already known, but here's why.

I got a gallery there for shits and giggles. Not that I can post much of my work there because it's not fantasy or sci-fi or whatever other bullshit they're calling it these days.

I submitted a ticket of my submissions and all that. Went though super fast (suprisingly). Then I discovered that a few pictures weren't posted on account of them being art of someone else's characters.

I'm not allowed to post MY OWN ART of SOMEONE ELSE'S CHARACTERS without the OTHER PERSON'S PERMISSION.

I cannot even begin to understand this rule. At all.

Now I see why I avoided the place for so long. Aside from the fact that it's layout was ugly and difficult to navigate back in 1998 and it hasn't changed much since. Uggh. Beveled buttons...

My bank account thought it'd be a cool idea to drop into the negative by somewhere around $75.

It was only -$3 yesterday with nothing else pending. I was expecting the typical $46 overdraft fee. I could've dealt with that just fine. I've managed to overdraw my bank account for about the last month every payday because I needed something like food, or gas. But the one time I didn't do anything to purposely fuck it up, it does this. Lovely.

I can't have that much cut out of my check when it deposits on FRIDAY.

(that's NEXT Friday)

I know I owe commissions already, but if my money doesn't level out I won't be eating or paying my bills (internet) and, well, nothing will get done then. D:

So, I'm offering up super-discounted full digital pieces.

$50 each (they run $90 normally!). 4 slots. Just to be safe.

I'm so fucking bad with money. I'd probably be better off closing my bank account and using cash for everything. Because, at that point, once I'm out of money I'm out of money.

So, instead, I'm stuck pimping out commissions I probably shouldn't be taking because no one gives two shits about my original work I've had up for auction. :/

Blah blah blah.

Seeing as I had to call off work because WE don't have the gas to get there and back and NO ONE ELSE is answering their DAMN PHONES, I may as well spend the morning working on commissions and try to clean up some of my queue so I don't feel AS bad about taking on more.

We're looking into moving out of Warren. Probably to Kent, as it's one of the more affordable places around here, we can go to school, get jobs, be around friends, public transport, etc., etc.. Means a lot of saving is in order, but it'll be worth it in the long run. Warren just isn't healthy for us. It never has been and it never will be, no matter how optimistic we try to be about it. Yeah, sure, we've got free room and board and no bills outside of our internet bills but...the city still fails hardcore.

I want to go to school. I want TJ to go to school. I want to be somewhere where I can walk to work, or walk to class and not be concerned about the fucking psychos that are riling themselves up in this city. I feel so overly dependent here. I have to rely on everyone else to do anything. Get to work? If we're out of gas, I need to find a ride. When no ride is available, I have to call off work. Calling of work doesn't look good on me and I'm teetering on the edge of possibly loosing my job.

The temptation to overdraw my bank account something awful is very strong. But I can't do that. I wish I could have the excuse that I blow all my money on stupid shit. At least THEN there'd be a reason that's my own for being broke as fuck. But I spend my money on food and gas and food for my animals. I barely buy myself anything and the last 'expensive' thing I bought was an MP3 player for TJ. Which I budgeted out of my paycheck anyhow.

Blah blah, more wangst. D:

I feel bad for you. I really do.

It's just a huge pain in the ass. I'm used to it. I shouldn't be, but I am. :/

You sure do deal with a ton of crap, which sucks because you certainly seem to try and make the most of everything. Hopefully it works out for you and things get better.

Sorry I haven't followed up on that commish prize I got yet, I've been super-busy. :\ But I'll get right on it for one of these slots.
