Yesterday was goooorgeous. TJ and I went out walking and we took the bus out to Stow to pick up a few things we needed for the house. I finally found GOOD non-photo blue pencils (I know Prismacolor carries them, but they're too soft.) with a nice hard lead. So that makes me pleased, since my old non-photo blue pencil is maybe two inches long now. Also stopped at the head shop to look at the price of pipes (a late birthday gift for my mother, not for myself), but I think I'll need to save or wait a little before buying her a nice one.

I've had all of the windows in the house open. Including some creative uses for the broken down critter cage we have (the wire panels come apart and they fit PERFECTLY in our windows) so the cats don't get on the roof or poke around outside and risk falling. They're good about not trying to be stupid on the windowsills when they're open without a 'screen', but I wanted to leave the windows open while we were gone, so it was a good solution.

Plus, the squirrel that lives in our attic can't get IN the house either.

I bought some more seeds that I need to plant. Pumpkin, cherry tomato and cantaloupe. :3 I'd like to do strawberries, as well, but they tend to GROW all over the place. I want baby corn, as well. But I haven't found it anywhere yet.

Last night we BBQ'd and pulled the Tv out on the porch to watch Supernatural. I'm sure the neighborhood appreciated our squealing and screaming. Then I remember we live in a college town and there's more shrieking at 3AM than any other time. But it was nice and it's nice to actually have a porch to hang out and bullshit on.

Today, we'll probably be outside a lot. I THINK we're gonna be huge nerds and go down to the riverwalk and LARP. We've been playing the Supernatural RPG and we're pretty HUGE fags, so it's likely to happen.

I'm going to my mom's for Easter on Sunday. Probably going to wait until AFTER to tell her about Sabrina so she doesn't get upset.

My birthday is on the 8th.

I have two essays I need to do for class next week. One is due on Monday. I haven't even started. Then again, it's really my fault because I intended on going up to the library and getting books and doing it BEFORE last weekend, but I didn't. Plus, it was nasty and rainy for a few days there. Ick.

Still jobless, though I have a few new places that are actually hiring to put applications in at. Because, believe me, I need whatever work I can get. I'm getting tired of having to bum money off of people for gas just to get to class during the week.

---

I've been thinking about maybe selling prints of my photography for some extra cash. Because god knows I need it. Plus, I do have quite a few good shots.

Still trying to sell (CHEAP) originals over on Etsy. I don't have any extra money to get more fabric and such needed for my bags and stuff, unfortunately, so that won't be happening for a little while.

Blah blah, this post kinda went downhill really fast. D: I know why that is, but...still. :/

While having a conversation about old characters, old art and the like, TJ and I were reminded of our short-lived (mostly because of me) webcomic we had years ago. I mentioned that I didn't think I had the images any more.

BUT THEN.

I REMEMBERED THE URL.

Good lord, that is all sorts of WTF and failery.

I'm CLEANING my computer room today. It's needed it for a long time and I would start, but get nowhere before. Tonight, since there's nothing going on (TJ's sleeping and Angie went to bed, so I don't have fagging to do), I decided to buckle down and get it done.

Plus, it make me feel rejuvenated. I like a clean working space. Sometimes it may seem like chaos, but as long as it's tidy and I can find things, it makes me happy and more likely to work on artwork and the like.

I have SO. MANY. T-SHIRTS. But I can't bare to part with any of them. I guess I'm making up for getting hand-me-downs and, well, things that weren't MINE when I was younger. It took a long time for me to actually get a WARDROBE, so I'm kind of attatched to it. Plus, I just really like t-shirts.

I've been finding my old jeans that I've worn through (hi there, fat thighs). I tend to wear a pair of jeans until they give in. So I have a handful of pairs around the house that I no longer wear, but I haven't thrown out yet because I want to find another pair of them. Yes, it sounds weird, but all the jeans I wear tend to be SUPER comfortable. A 'favorite pair' sort of thing. So I'd love to replace them before doing something else (possibly reconning) with them.

Karen bought us a little bit of food. Mostly necessities, milk, eggs, bread. She also got us some meat (fish, steak, ham). So that helps a little. We have a small bit of gas, too. Krispy-love is sending me a little money so, while the internet is probably going to be cut off Monday (unless some miracle happens), I can still pay it when I get the monies from her. Which is good. My mom is also taking me down to campus (so we don't have to use gas) for my Writing final on Monday. This is also good.

I'm trying not to let a bad situation get me down. I have food for my animals, Christmas is around the corner and both sets of parents said they'll help out with gift cards and money so we can survive until January. I know most people would be all bitchy about a lack of presents, but I just want to be comfortable. I don't need a lot of gifts, most things I buy for myself, so it's not a huge deal anyhow. Sometimes it's too much of a pain to describe what you want to someone and them not really 'getting it'. Plus, we got a digital camera last year and it's still working fine!

Still trying to rehome critters, since it's going to be difficult enough to get a place with the ferrets and the ratties. Bunch of hairless rats to find homes for (the ones that we, oops, ended up with in August because some people don't know how to sex rats properly), need to find Shank (the bunny) a new home, as well. I need to call a few people this coming week and figure some things out.

I'm also trying to figure things I NEED when I get my money next month. I do need new glasses, it's been...almost four years with this perscription. Plus, I want new frames really bad. Aside from that, pay my bills and work out some sort of food thing. I'm thinking I'll, y'know, actually use my Sam's Club membership and buy non pershibles (sides, canned veggies, stuff like that) because those are the things we usually go for last when eating stuff in the house. I'm just trying to think of ways to be more efficient with my money. Although, having a job will also help with that. It'd be nice to have some money going back IN the bank when some comes OUT.

---

So, overall, doing a lot better than I was last post. This is good. I get like that sometimes, but it passes. I know it always does, but it doesn't change the initial flip out for whatever reason. Once I get it out, it starts to get better.

This weekend was pretty fuckwin awesome.

We went up to Angie's because Angie was like "Guyz, I'm bored. I'm also getting some money on Monday and I will toss you some gas cash if you come keep me companies and we can fag a bunch." and we were all "Hell fuckin' yeah, we've got enough gas to get up there and we just bought food for our critters!".

So we drive up and meet Angie at her work and we stand around downtown for about ten minutes figuring out what to do. We decide to go over to The Loft and get a pitcher of beer (because, stupid cheap). I can't believe I drank beer. Yeah, it wasn't great beer, but all beer tastes like crap to me no matter what the pricetag. I can TOLERATE it if I don't chug it. So I didn't drink a whole lot...until we got the Christmas Ale (hereby dubbed the 'Krampus Ale'). It was....terrible. I tasted like a rancid bonfire. I was expecting, like, holiday spices. Y'know, the tasty ones. Not that they improve beer much, but still. So Angie and I ended up chugging some and then we all tried to finish it off by chugging a mug each and it was just awful.

Afterwards, we walked up to EuroGyro and split some food. Angie and I were SO BUZZED from the beer. I didn't expect it AT ALL. But, looking back, I drank what I normally drank of that sort of thing (as in, not hard liquor) and it makes sense now. But I was stupid giggly and shit. It was hilarious. Angie and I had to walk down to the ATM to get cash because the credit machine at the Gyro was down. We were singing and being generally happy-loud the whole way. It was pretty fabulous.

I found a SD memory card in front of the ATM, as well. I posted it up on Craigslist in hopes someone's looking for it. It's got photos of some kids at a petting zoo, nothing incriminating. So I kinda hope someone claims it because I'd be pretty upset if I lost my camera memory card (and it's 4GB!).

We had delicious fried ravioli and jojos and wings (well, except for Angie on that last part) at the Gyro and Angie fired up the jukebox and we rocked out with some people nearby to I'm On A Boat and Like A Boss. It was pretty fucking amazing.

Back to Angie's, some drama ensued with her mother (despite the fact they're roommates and, GOD FORBID people enjoy themselves on a Saturday night), but it then passed after watching YouTube videos and fagging.

Sunday, we sat around and watched half of the first season of Supernatural, because this is Angie's first time seeing it. I feel bad because we've spoiled some things, but I hope learning WHY they happen make it just as good. :V

Later on, Angie and I walked out to get fixin's for pasta. We were going to grab stuff from the Circle K right by her house but, well, that was a bust. Then we considered fast food, but I was like "We're halfway there, we may as well walk to the Acme and save money". So we did and spent $7 on pasta stuff for everyone. Long, faggy walk back home talking about character stuff and plot things we're planning. Cooked food, sat around, watched more Supernatural. Eventually, we loafed around just headpeople developing and drawing and such.

Today we walked up to meet Angie on campus. However, it ended up raining and we all had to get a ride home. But after we got home, we took Angie's mom's car and went out driving, since Angie needed to do some Christmas shopping. We pretty much drove around and rocked out to some mix CDs we had (because Angie's mom doesn't have a cassette player in her car, just a CD one. We use the cassette tape things for our MP3 players.).

Eventually, back to Angie's and gathered up our stuff (though, I think I left the 360 controller on the couch) and headed home. TJ and I rocked out to some AC/DC and Zepplin on the way home and then we got online and fagged a little and set up things for scene tomorrow that's going to be pretty amazing.

Now, I might go hang out in bed for a bit, since TJ has a headache and I feel like drawing some.

I'm feeling really good and it's pretty nice.

We're gonna try that moving thing sometime after January. It's going to be a hassle to transfer classes, but whatever. Angie's going to look around for places for us, since she knows what we like/what we're looking for.

Krispy, can you let me know what your situation is so I can incorporate that into our plans?

---

I need to break out of that left-facing 3/4 view. FFS.

Yeah, I know how awesome I am taking Myspace-esque pictures of myself in the bathroom on campus.

Also, this was on someone's car today: http://fallenangel.furtopia.org/PHOTOS/2009/091014_billymays.png

I realize I haven't updated much lately. Not necessarily that I haven't had anything to write about but more like I haven't felt like writing. Really busy, I suppose.

I've been doodling a lot in class. Especially Psychology because it seems SO LONG and it's pretty boring a lot of the time.


A 'lumpy' Steph, a not-so-great Laurie, a winter Pepper (tail cozy!) and an Ally. Also, lol at the first three being pretty much the same pose. I'm so goddamn creative.

---

Watched the first five episodes of Supernatural last night and we're really enjoying it. I wasn't sure about Dean at first (because I saw one of the 5th season episodes first, the Fallen Idols one) so I couldn't pass good judgement, but he's an amazing snarky bastard. TJ loves him, which is hilarious. He also reminds us of a male Laurie, which is also hilarious.

It is a lot like watching early seasons of the X-Files except swapping out aliens for paranormal bullshit.

---

TJ's birthday was yesterday! I got him a card and a Three Worgen Moon shirt and a Horde decal and a little bat Skeleanimal. Also, cards from almost all thee critters in the house. There were, like, ten or so.

We also picked up some Kraken rum that was new at the liquor store. Oh, that stuff is nasty. 92 proof and black spiced. But the bottle's cute! Which probably factored into us buying it.

We're going out this weekend with Angie, probably up to Bounce or The Chamber, not sure exactly.

Today I'm all congested and feel like blah.

This is probably the coolest thing I've come across while hunting for music and I'm ALMOST TEMPTED to download:

http://thepiratebay.org/tag/Now+Thats+What+I+Call+Music

It's the original UK edition (US is only on volume 31 or so), so there's probably a lot of groups and artists I've never heard of.

BUT. I need to sort through the stuff I downloaded recently first!

THANKS /CO/ NOW I CAN'T UNSEE IT YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS

( FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF )

robertliefeld 4 X-Men films, 3 Spidey, 2 FF, 1 Iron Man, Hulk 2, Blade 2, all hits/moneymakers. Forgot about Ghost Rider. With lots more on the way...

obliviousally @robertliefeld Just because they made money doesn't mean they were /good/.

robertliefeld @obliviousally, this isn't about quality. And do you think every studio doesn't want Transformers 2? Worst reviewed and 800 million..$$$$

obliviousally @robertliefeld 'this isn't about quality' - And that's the worst part of it. It SHOULD be about quality over quantity of $$

Rob Liefeld makes my head explode a la Ted Kord. Yes. Really. This is what his Twitter consists of. Lots of fapping at Marvel and being a fuckhueg fanboy over things that, for the most part, suck. Also, he likes to use his Twitter to write blog-sized posts in snippets of 140 characters. UUUUGH.

He also never replies to the constructive criticism I give him when he posts art. Sad face.

Don't know who Liefeld is? Oh, please, become educated.

On a similar note...

I totally forgot to write about going to the reptile show last weekend and bringing home two leezards. We originally went to get a beardie, because we miss having one and they're awesome pets. But we ended up getting something different, but with the same personality and temperment to a bearded dragon.

Meet SC. Or Steve. Or...Steve's Cock. You all can thank Squeeji for that one.



He's a Great Plated Lizard and SUPER laid back. He'll get a little bigger than what he is right now, as well.

We also got a Tropical Girdled Lizard (sold in pet stores as an armadillo lizard, but they're not true Armadillo Lizards because they don't do the curl-into-a-ball-and-bite-my-tail thing. He's very skittish, however. I hope he comes around a bit because pets I can't hold are lame.

Laurie + James. You can see I used a different pencil on James and Laurie's one arm because I was a tard and grabbed a different one from my bag after travelling from the student lounge to the computer lab while waiting for TJ to get out of class. I don't exactly know what's going on here. Laurie's probably getting ready to bitch about something. And James' face looks /halfway/ decent for once. I do like how the bodies came out though. || A Poe that I did sometime after the trip to Clearfield. I forgot it was in my sketchbook. :X

---

We watched The Vampire Diaries for lulz and it didn't make us vomit up blood. Better than Twilight but, really, WHAT ISN'T BETTER THAN TWILIGHT. Everything is a step up from self insert Mary Sue fanfic with failpires.

Strange dreams, strange dreams.

I'm getting into a house where TJ is being kept. We're trying to get out together and I get out first and he tells me to run and she'll catch up. I run and run and run and I'm in the country and every house I rest by, there's people trying to catch me to get me back to wherever. I don't understand why we're in such high demand or why these people want us containted, but I don't like it one bit.

The dream shifts a bit and I'm in the same country place, but not being hunted or held. A boy around my age is visiting me and we spend a lot of time sitting in the vast, grassy front yard talking until the sun starts to set and cast long yellow shadows over the fields nearby. I offer him a shortcut through the field across the street to get back to his home. I don't recall if he leaves before things change again.

Then, it's just dreams about the fandom high school RP we're doing. Nothing specific or detailed, however.

I've been working on this all day. Poe, why must I feel like I'm not doing you justice if I don't include eight million clothing details and shit? Aaaaaaugh. I still have to add her markings, too.

HOLY SHIT, SOME FURRIES HAD SOME COMMON SENSE AND TURNED A DOGFUCKER IN TO THE AUTHORITIES!

Speaking of delicious furry drama, have I mentioned what a trainwreck Dragoneer's journal on the Alan Panda subject is?

No? Well I just did. Have fun.

There's a lot of drawing stuff going on this month and during the summer. There's a sketch-a-day thing going on on DA, ArtSlam on LJ (and elsewhere, I think?), Drawing Day tomorrow.

It mostly reminds me that I don't doodle enough. :/

There is the biggest pair of flies in the world buzzing around my desk.

ALSO! FIREFLIES ARE OUT YAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAAYAYAAAAAAAAAAY!!

There's also a naked Lauries ( behind the cut... )

Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.

❶ Tony Stark/Pepper Potts (Iron Man)
❷ Eddie Blake/Sally Jupiter (Watchmen)
❸ Akima/Cale (Titan A.E.)
❹ Cutter/Leetah (Elfquest)
❺ Bucky Barnes/Laurie Blake (Captain America/Watchmen -- Fanon)
❻ Dominic Toretto/Letty (The Fast and The Furious)

Man, I can't think of any fandoms. GIVE ME IDEAS, PEOPLE. Or maybe I just don't have that many fandoms that I'm all slhgklfdhgd with pairings about. :X

James/Laurie pic I started at the mall the other day. I need to fix James' face, because it's always askew. And his muzzle is too thick, as well. But, so far, it's not too bad. I'm going to try inking in Sai and doing the furniture in CS4 with the line tool so I can make everything look proper. We'll see how that happens.

She's going to put that cigarette out on him at some point, I'm sure of it.

---

I moved my desk into the front room (I guess it's supposed to be the dining room in a proper house?) so we'll have more room in the living room and I'll have extra space for all of my bullshit and things won't seem so cramped in the bedroom with two computers, the bed, the TV and all the other bullshit there.

I want my big desk, but it'll have to wait.

This table has seen better days. The center of it is bowed a bit from when we used to keep the monitor in the center of it (which I can't do because I don't have enough room for my hands and stuff). But, it holds shit up and my monitor is a monster.

I also cleaned and organized the pink room and put the animals back in there. The ferrets are happy because they can come out whenever now, since we have the baby gate. The rats are generally always happy. And Shank is just a bunny.

Anthrocon posted the list of the majority of panels for this year. Now, I don't go to panels, but it's very said when conventions need things like this:

If I came to Earth (Socializing 101) -- PROTIP: Get the fuck out of your basement.
Women in the Fandom - Meet & Greet -- Does this scare you the way it scares me?

Also, more hilarity:

Spotted Hyenas are Awesome! -- Chances it'll revolve around how female hyenas have 'penises' and 'are hermaphrodites'? Very likely.
Marsupial Madness Meet & Greet -- Pouch fetishes.
Wolf / Wolf Hybrid Mixer -- Wat.
