Shyyyy and happy
So, I'm not a writer really- like most creative pursuits I am a dabbler. But a couple months ago a fairly well known personality on my WoW server announced that since she had all of the vanity pets, mounts, RP-gear, etc that a gal should want and STILL had gold left over, that she was offering a 5,000 gold prize in a writing contest.
Well, like I mentioned, I am a dabbler, this applies to WoW also. It took me about 6 months to get to level 70 and I only made the final push because my guildmates kinda carried me. So I knew that I would never get a pretty flappy gryphon with armor in this lifetime. *lol* So, I wrote out an episode of my characters backstory and I'm ashamed to say I kinda forgot about it. >.<
So, fast forward to the last day of May, and after an incredibly rough day at work and a phone call that my grandfather was in the hospital (he's okay) I see on the realm forums that I WON!!!

There's the story. *chuckles* My guildmistress gushed, it was so dang funny, and it made me feel so amazing. I bought my epic flappy and even got to write a little story about that. *laughs* It's so funny how something that I've always been EXTREMELY self-conscious about is now something that I'm known for- even if it is just on our little RP server.
I've been experiencing a lot of work stress (HAAAAAATE) but overall my personal life has been not bad. I've been more inspired than I've been in years- I'm writing AND drawing again.
The last good news I have is that I go in for my first consultation for lap-band surgery on the 31st of July. I'm half-terrified half-overjoyed. It's such a huge step but I can't keep living my life this way- constantly up and down and up and down. And...well...the thought of going another 2 years being the size I am right now, well... Yeah, let's just say I've had enough sobbing jags to last me a lifetime over being overweight. No more of those, thank YA.
That's the quick and dirty update. =P
