Why no updates? Well, last October, we dumped and reloaded my computer. The client for LJ died. Thus, when my computer got back up and running, I forgot to redownload the client for LJ. Thus, there was no client for me to remember to write in. And thus, no updates.
Here's a quick schpeel of what has gone on since then.
Halloween
Thanksgiving
Christmas
New Years
Valentine's Day
My Birthday (I'm 21)
Easter
Okay, now here's a deeper schpeel of what has gone on since then.
I got a job at a daycare and was there for four days and then got fired because the director lied about me. I now have a job at Old Country Buffet as an attendant/ beverage bar attendant/ and almost every Thursday I am the Old Country Buffet Bee mascot! I can tap dance in size 14 shoes! Woo! I get tips and the tips really improve my confidence! I really like this job. It's not very stressful, the managers are awesome and I get to dance every week! It's actually pretty fun!
We brought Barney over to Susan Knauf's house to see her female shi-tzu Lilyflower. They did not hit it off too well. Lilyflower scared the crap out of my baby and so we had to take him home. No puppies from Barney I'm afraid. He's just too old. But that's okay. Susan Knauf said that I could have one of the puppies from one of Lilyflowers other litters at a discount. I don't know if we'll be doing that, we can't afford an apartment that will allow animals but maybe mom will take care of my puppy for me?
Which reminds me. Arby's, my ball python that is hiding out in my apartment, is in hibernation mode this year. She will not EAT! It's driving me nuts. lol The ball python forums told me to relax. She will eat when she's ready to eat. It's been a few weeks since the last attempt. I think I will try and feed her tonight and see what happens.
I got a tablet for Christmas! You can see an example of that here:
Tanneth Bowdren (unfinished tablet sketch)I have a new character for a D&D game that you can see here:
Foxglove Thistlethimble (pencil sketch)I haven't been drawing much. I don't have any motivation. None of my characters will ever see the light of a publisher so sometimes I think why do I bother to waste lead when other artists who are actually using their talent could make better use of it?
Mark and I are doing so-so. We got into a really mean argument the other night and he scared the living daylights out of me when he suddenly pinned me down and started growling at me. I screamed bloody murder and he got off. He and his dad both explained to me that he would never hurt me and I believe this. He left the house and went to go sleep at Edwards. He came home that afternoon and we hugged and made up. I talked with his dad on the phone for almost three hours that night. He explained to me about how I need to respect Mark before he can try to respect me because I have been the one that has been leaning on him all this time and he feels used. I never meant to... I just didn't care at the time who I was leaning on. I care now. I want to make it up to him. I don't have to understand why he does things the way he does but his intentions are good and so I should respect them. That I understand.
