SPRING BREAK

[arcanelegacy]

Ahahahahah I've been around you guys, honest. It's just Spring Break and I've been too busy running around to post, though I've been making an effort to comment as often as I can. Today is actually the first day I haven't really had any plans with other people, though I have plans to watch a movie with my mother this evening

Haha I have to convince myself not to go out and buy all the seasons of Psych, though I may anyway.

Although, if you're forreal not wanting to spend the money, maybe check them out at the library or something? Or find them at a second hand book store? :-p

I let my parents buy Psych, then steal it from them when they're done. XD I'm more inclined to watch and rewatch shows than they are.

I do have the cash, I'm just not sure I need to spend it right now, you know? I won't die without these comics. They're not really going anywhere. I can go buy them later, no harm, no foul. I just seem to help but want them; the story is so amazing and I'm so eager to know what happens next.

...And if I do go out now and buy them, I can come home and use it as a reward for getting work done. No reading until I finish another spread for my magazine, or something. Which isn't a bad idea, really.

You are one smart lady!!

Yes I completely understand. Having money "to burn", so to speak, can be such an amazing yet dangerous situation to be in! You are able to buy things just because you want them, yet if you get carried away you are back in the hole!

You should use them as a reward to BUY them and read them after you have completed whatever you want to do. What magazine are you writing for?

Also, if I recall, you are a graphic designer. What programs do you use? Robert is also a graphic designer and mainly uses Photoshop. Is that a program you also tend to use? I am so rusty with it!

[arcanelegacy]

It really is. And I tend to burn through money like fire burns through paper...but only around once a year. The rest of the year I save and save well. XD I just feel hella guilty when I do start spending, even if I'm pretty frugal otherwise. :/

I...actually did just that. XDXD;;; They're good motivators! I'm just having a hard time finding a stopping point at the moment. I keep wanting to call it a day 'cause I'm getting a little burnt out, but I still feel like I should do more.

I'm actually not writing for a magazine, but designing a layout for a fictional one. It's for one of my design classes. X3

Oh, really? That's cool! I generally use a mix of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Depending on the project I'll use one more often than the other, but sometimes (like with this project) I integrate all three like a mad scientist.

*filing nails*

Oh no, don't buy more comics.....

PFFFT JUST KIDDING. GO BUY THE WHOLE STORE. No, seriously, what is this Fables? What's it about? It seems interesting. @___@

When I read "hanging with my girls" I totally thought you meant your daughters. And then I kinda flipped out a little inside. XD

[arcanelegacy]

Fables is a series about all the fairytale characters (Snow White, the Big Bad Wolf, Little Boy Blue, and sooooo many more). They've been driven from their homelands in another world into ours by a force called the Adversary. Now they live in New York somewhere and have to keep their existence a secret while fighting a war and dealing with heaps of political unrest.

It's amazingly done (I can't even begin to go on about this) has some really beautiful art and the characters are just fantastic. There's a brilliant balance between each character in it and the roles they play in this universe are just breathtakingly ingenious. The story is still ongoing - I've no idea when it's supposed to end - but I can almost guarantee I'll own every book by the time it is done.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha *dies* No, I meant hanging out with my two best girl friends in the whole world.

That.....sounds so awesome. ._________. I think I'll have to look for those, then! It's a book, yes? Should I be able to find it in Chapters? Well, in any book store? I'd rather not have to travel the half hour to the nearest Chapters...rawr....stupid suburb towns.

[arcanelegacy]

A comic series, but yes! I'm hoping you can find it in Chapters, because it's alllllll kinds of amazing and awesome and I love it. &hearts

[crystaldrake]

Sounds like you had a great spring break. :)

[arcanelegacy]

I did! I'm so sad I have to go back to class tomorrow. I could have used another few days to reset my sleeping schedule. XD;;;
