(no subject)
So....I have decided. Next week, I'm closing the shop, and the forge. I think I need a little bit of a break before I forget what daylight really looks like. >>
I was trying to think of things to do, though and....aside from making a point of taking Nocturne and Nyx out for a while, I really can't think of anything. It occured to me last night that I've spent so much time working, lately - all that work and school when I lived at home, then a lot of work and travel with Sensei, and almost nothing but work since I came back to town - that I've kind of forgotten what anything else is like, or what else there is to do. A client came in the other day and said I looked young, and when I told him I was 17 I swear, it looked like his eyes were going to pop out of his head. He asked me why someone so young was working so hard when I should be out playing and being a kid... and it reminded me that I am still a kid after all. Legally, I'm not an adult yet. Not for...5 more months (and a few weeks).
So. Um...anybody know anything good to do? I really could use a few suggestions...... ^^;;;

On the Anima front...well. I guess I thought I had better control over it than I do. I was doing really well, for a long time. No sudden appearances, and I could make my ears and tail show when I wanted and make them go away when I wanted. I'd even gone so long without practicing that that I almost forgot I wasn't just a normal human.
But then the other day...I don't think it actually rained, but there was some pretty loud thunder that startled me really good...and when I passed by the bathroom mirror I noticed my horse-ears were out. It's good I was at home, then, too, because they didn't want to go away easily. It was actually one of the toughest struggles I've had with it since it happened.
Ugh. Wish this was easier. Though I do have to admit, I think I have it easier than most. Lucky me?
