An Entry?

[arivess]

I guess I should post, now that I said I'm back. I should also catch up with my friends list, but I'll... do that... soon?

Lots of things have happened in the... er, well, two months that I've been pretty much off of LJ.

I hope you can find a job soon! I don't really know what to suggest, since the job market right now is just in shambles, so it's difficult for everyone/has nothing to do with you not trying hard enough. D:

2nd flame dungeon is the... Sand Ship, I think? I love just about everything in the Lanaryu Desert, even if I think I took more damage from electricity than anything else in the game XD ... but I was actually surprised by the lack of creepy things in Skyward Sword. Zombie Bobolins almost seem cute in comparison to Redeads and Dead Hands...

"Kind of hanging between really bored and really interested. *coughs*That's pretty much how I felt while playing it. I found parts of it really tedious and annoying, but I somehow managed to finish it... I think just because I kept on expecting the story to pick up sometime and some of the S.Links were interesting, especially the non-party member ones. I hated Tartarus (it.never.changes), the dating aspects are hilarious bad ("you ate my bad food, so now I love you!"), and the story actually

Thankus! And yeah, it's... x.x Apparently, security is hiring, but I don't have the money to get the license right now, or the time to actually wait for it to come. (I'm still lacking another piece of ID to get it, too, and that costs money too, and takes time to get here. Baw...)

*nodnod* Sand Ship is really scaring me. ;_; It's pretty safe right now, but all those beamos bases and skeletons lying around are making me wonder what's coming... D:

I was SO SCARED of the Zombie Bobolins! ;________;! The description was adorable, though. But I don't like things that don't die. I don't like being chased. I don't like having to run. Oh my gosh I freaked out so much during my trial of courage, I made Eilia do my trial of wisdom for me because I can't stand to just run. >.>;;;;; (Dead Hands scare me too. D: Well, they didn't in the Forest Temple, when I could pick them off from a distance, but Shadow Temple nearly killed me. But I'm slightly less scared of Redeads while adult, at least, because Sun's Song, and they die in two hits with

I actually rather like fighting beamos. XD The skeletons are usually just bobolins with those electric... tazer...sword...things, so nothing really too threatening.

They die if you use a fatal blow on them! And since I had a sacred shield, I just put it in front and they all avoided me anyway, haha.

Ah, by dead hand I mean this thing instead of the hands that grab you out of nowhere (although those drove me crazy when I was younger too ;-;) Readeads scared me to death when I first played it when I was like... 8 or 9? Now they don't really bother me, but I think that's thanks to MM and how you can get them to dance more than anything. XD

[arivess]

Baaaaaaaaaw. I keep dying -- well, not dying, but getting severely injured. I am so terrified of the electric thingie bobolins! D: They've damaged me more than most bosses. I'm not good at avoiding their electricity...

They do? Die die? Properly die? I didn't know. o_o And yeah, I used a sacred shield too. XD

Oh, right, that one. Sorry, I was thinking floormasters. I was terrified of the well dead hand, but the Shadow Temple one wasn't too bad. Since it died in two hits. >.> Redeads still scare me as a child and before the Sun's Song. ;_; But not so much as an adult...

Aah, okay. I might try it later. The female story's dating options are a little more attractive than the male story's. >.>

Ooh, awesome. Dunno when I'm getting Vita, though, but I guess I can wait.

I really hope you find a job soon! I know how rough looking for one can be, especially when you're super low on funds and everything. It can be really stressful since the market is so horrible right now! Don't give up...you're definitely trying hard enough. Right now, it is tough on everyone looking for work. I hope you'll find something soon though! ♥

~I...totally need to play FFXIV at some point! *fails at gaming anymore* Yin and I kind of totally just forgot to try it out. But, I am curious about all the new stuff! One of these days...ONE OF THESE DAYS. XD

~Yay for Once Upon a Time! ♥ I am totally addicted to that show, lolz. It is so much fun. ...I kind of laughed at Stealthy. I somehow missed seeing a Ninja Dwarf in the other versions of Snow White, lolz! I really like Grumpy in this version though, haha. XD

[arivess]

Thank you! *nodnod* I hope so...

Yeah! XD It's not free anymore, though. But it's gotten a lot better! There's... well, I wouldn't say lots to do, nowhere near the scope of FFXI yet, but there's at least a decent amount of content now, and the story looks to be amazing! And Final Fantasy-esque finally!

*nodnod* I've been curious for a while, but never gotten around to watching it until now. It's really good! XD And me too on Grumpy.

I'm not that good either, but the concept seems pretty simple, so I'm practicing lots. <3 That sucks, though, that you can't find the right shade... I have a bit of a hard time too because my skin, while not that dark, is very... yellowy-greeny-tinted? (I mean, I'm Asian, and I don't stay out of the sun, so. XD) But most foundations here are too pink for me.

[amielleon]

Kind of random, but imo drawing much faster, like "I can keep up with updating a webcomic on a regular schedule while holding down a job!" fast if your normal methods are pokey, probably means putting most of your usual habits to the side and trying a few new techniques. I think you were the one who linked me to the youtube video where the guy kept reminding us, "Resist the urge to zoom in, because remember, you need to get this done fast because everyone else is waiting for it."

Also yeah, jobs are hard. Sorry my country blew up your country's economy.

[arivess]

Yeah, I remember that! I forgot about that until you told me, actually. But yes, I have been trying to work with a large canvas, zoomed way out, first.

Your country blows up every country's everything. Oh well.

[amielleon]

My country does blow up every country's everything. ;_; I'm so sorry. A lot of us don't like that either.

[arivess]

It's okay. It's not your fault. Now be a good daughter and come to Canada where you will have gay marriage.

[sai_salamander]

I'd tell you to not feel like a failure, but I know very well how little that sort of advice helps. In that, it doesn't help. At all. Just know that I know exactly what you're going through right now, so if you need someone to mutually complain to, I am always here <3

Also, I love how you're going down the makeup route! I only do eye makeup, because I don't like having anything else on my face (no foundation, no blusher, no anything), so if I ever did try and become a makeup artist I'd be somewhat specialist, hah.

[arivess]

Thankus. <3

Yeah, I tried to avoid putting on foundation as much as I could, because my pores are clogged enough without extra help, but I have to admit, I look much better with it on, baw. I'm not that good at eyes yet. Must practice more...

[sai_salamander]

I must admit, it took me a whole afternoon of practice to get the hang of liquid eyeliner XD Put it on, cry it out, wipe it off, rinse and repeat until they get used to it, lolol.

I wore foundation at the con while I was in cosplay, and hated it. It made my skin look better, as you say, but AUGH THE SPOTS! They really multiplied, lol.

[arivess]

Augh, I still can't do liquid. XD I'm trying cream, but I'm not that good at it yet. I just whine and whine and then go back to pencil... >.>;; But my lids are oily, so it smudges a lot. Baw.

Yeah! DDDDD: Every time I wear it, I feel like I need to wash my face a billion times to make sure it's clean...
