Moved to foxxies

Moving accounts and going to attempt to be more active. Please re-watch me at
 mufflns

If you haven't noticed, I'm rarely if ever active on here. I mostly only come on to check out certain artists' profiles and their newer stuff. I never post here unless it's mature art. I have like 3x the amount of art over on my dA account and Nabyn also however I am quitting Nabyn. If you would like to follow me more closely, please watch me on dA. I also have a Weasyl account that is in the works of being updated. The username is the same as mine on here. Thanks for reading :) I hope to see you on my other accounts! :D

Also know that on my deviantArt, I hold live streams daily and do free art requests so maybe that will entice people to watch me there. xD Idk

To anyone that may or may not care, tonight I am moving to a friends in Pittsburgh. He and his girl friend live in a house that is paid off and are going to help me get a job. I'm taking what I can with me but leaving so very much behind. I'm crying both out of fear and happiness. I'm finally getting out of here.. But the one problem is that they have no internet. They're working on getting it but don't have it at the moment. So I will not be online for an indefinite amount of time. I will miss everyone. I will miss everyone a lot.. I love you all. I'll try my damnedest to get a phone or something.. Thank you, everyone, for being here for me all this time. I.. Dunno what else to say.. Guess I better return to packing.




EDIT: November 21, 2012 -

I'm at my dad's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Spending the night tonight and going back to Pitt tomorrow night. I can honestly say I miss his delicious food and the internet here as well as just the coziness of it. But I've been managing. Being at my friends has been awesome. At first I figured his girlfriend and I would be at eachother's throats but we're so alike it's creepy and we keep him up at night with our giggley silliness. I have a job interview on the 28th at the place they work at and they assure me I'll get the job :) I really miss you guys and have had a couple dreams about some of you :( I wish there were a way I could be online more often. I plan to be back online on Friday as we're going to a coffee shop in South Side, Pittsburgh. So ya.. Um. At a loss of words again.. Much love and I shall continue to update with my journey <3




EDIT: December 1, 2012 -

Sooo it's been 2 weeks since I moved to Pittsburgh. I love South Side. Money's a lil tight right now but we just got an internet/cable package. I should have my own room in the next few days as we are still cleaning it out. Things have been nerve-racking lately but I'm assuming since I have net now it'll get better. I was biding my time until now and now is good. I have a job and start working there next Tuesday making minimum wage. We just call random people and read questions off to them and put their answers into a computer. Survey taking. It's easy as cake so I'll be good. Sadly I don't get my first pay check until the 21st so it kind of sucks but oh well. Not sure what else to say.. I still don't have a phone though so ya. Only a TracFone. Anyway! Guess that's the end of this update.

Need help figuring out a color palette for a new character of mine. He's a femboy snow leopard (as if that hasn't already been done) and super cute >u< Going to actually draw his ref.. Um.. I love blue and brown and teal but I'm open to any suggestions Also any thing he could be mixed with (species-wise) to give him more character.

So please help D:

To get that old journal off my page, woohoo :D

Life sucks! 8D

Trying to earn some cash to get one of those pay-as-you-go-phones so ya, commissions are as open as a prostitutes legs :p

Yup. Will do art for someone if they buy me MineCraft. Simple as that. I'm sick of playing on a cracked version and having it freeze every time it tries to update every time I have to re-download it and not being able to play with my friends on their servers because they can buy themselves a copy. So ya. Note me or something if you're interested, I'll love you forever. If you don't know, MineCraft is like $27 I believe. So. Ya.

No I'm not back from hiatus kay. I'm on SL if you people really want to see/talk to me. I have Skype. And if this journal serves it's purpose, I'll be on MineCraft as well.

Thanks for reading.

Only a couple days left for my month-long art auction! I've been drawing like mad lately and believe I've improved a bit. I can complete at least 3 pictures per day! I can do pixels, soft lines, animating, and a bunch more.

Here is a link to the auction - http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1033218.html
Bid while you still can!

So I'm doing the auction as well since tons of other people seem to have success with it. So far, no bids. But I'm hoping maybe someone will be interested eventually.

This is the original submission - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8288181/
This is the auction on furbuy - http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1033218.html?

If you can't buy or whatever, please advertise it? ._. The bidding starts at a very low $5 but there is a reserve of $30. I'd like to make at least a dollar per day considering how much art I'll be doing. I can complete more than one picture in a day.

Taking requests! Not taking any requests that are pixelated. I'm trying to avoid that right now as I have enough commissions of that!


How To's:
When you arrive, click on the bubble looking icon. There, you can talk to me and other people in the stream.
Click on the person-looking icon and then click your viewer number to change your name.
You cannot "paste" into the stream through normal means. You must use the key combo of ctrl + v to paste in the stream.

If you make a request and I accept then you leave the stream, no request for you. EVEN if I am half-way through your request, unless you come back into the stream, it will not be finished. Sorry but if you can't even stay in the stream to watch, you don't really deserve the free art ^^;
If you've previously gotten a request, let others go before you and I will do an art trade with you.

AnthroCon was awesome. But a lot of bull shit went on for the most part. That's all I'm gonna say on it. Below are links to the videos and pictures I took. If you see someone you know, please say so and I will tag them appropriately.

Vids - http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9I.....aJNh6aw/videos

Photos - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/.....361&type=3

If you want a picture uploaded to FA, just say so and I will do it. I just didn't want to upload a shit-ton of pics to FA. It's spam and it's a pain in the ass to upload here anyways.

ANTHROCON, HERE I COME! I'm so nervous and excited and aaaaaaah oh God ;-; SO EXCITED. It's going to be so awesome ;w; I can't wait to see everyone. I've missed them D: Maybe even make new friends >-< That'd be nice.. I'll be wearing a shit-ton of badges all on a binder clip thingy e.e Like one of those binder rings.. So ya xD Easier than clipping them all over myself. My tummy hurts because of nerves and it won't go away >-< Stupid tummy. Anyways, if you want to meet up at AnthroCon, let me know! I'll be going today around 3pm or so. I'll be in Munhall which is 15 minutes from the convention center.


______________________________________________________

I'll be going to AnthroCon and my badge will have my username on it. If you see me and recognize my username, ask about my special AnthroCon commissions c: I will be carrying a sketch pad around and be taking $5 commissions where I will sketch out what you commission in front of you, then finish it digitally after AnthroCon is over! c: I have an FA account as well as a dA account so just tell me what yours is and I'll link the finished picture to you C:

These special commissions are pay up front. Hand me the $5 and that's it! Every $5 I earn from these commissions will be used to get food and pay for gas for the entirety of the convention as I will be staying a 15 minutes drive away from the convention center every night.

The commissions available in this special offer range from my chibi style to my full-body commissions. They come with either transparent or simple background. I can also do head-shots/badges but I cannot finish any while AnthroCon is going on.

So if you see me, say hi! I'd love to meet some of you :D

The commercials have been on since Sunday and I finally figured out more behind it.

There will be fur suiters starring on the new episode of Steve Brule this coming Sunday. I've seen the commercial several times now and I don't fear for furry's image. I get as giddy as a school girl when furries and fur suiters are on tv, no matter what for. But this seems like it's innocent enough. The actor playing Steve Brule is simply playing his character and just making the situation odd. I'm sure there will be controversy but whatever.

http://video.adultswim.com/check-it.....e-animals.html That's the video


These are the furries/suiters starring in the episode -

There have been furries on Adult Swim before, and not just in the weird episode of Family Guy (Or American Dad, not sure which. 8C ) It was a simple bump of Beastcub's Robot Unicorn head she made but she got tons of publicity for it. Now she's not technically a furry but she's well known in the furry fandom for making astonishing costumes.

New, updated commission prices - http://isinmuffin.deviantart.com/jo.....ices-294374291

Reason why I need commissions - http://isinmuffin.deviantart.com/jo.....ffin-293313164

How I feel about my situation with commissions - http://isinmuffin.deviantart.com/jo...../Why-294148975

Why the hell I am writing like this -

I need to know what the flying fish paste is so wrong with my art that no one can or will commission me. Okay sure some people don't have the money right now. I get that. Well what about everyone else. Really, is ONE DOLLAR too expensive? Is $20 for a ref sheet THAT much? :l I don't get it. Really I need CRITIQUING and FEEDBACK on what is wrong with my art or what I need improvement on. I don't need sympathy, I need help. I need an art mentor. SOMETHING. Thanks for reading and I pray that sometime soon I'll be able to fix my computers.


P.S. Please help. e.e Any ideas you guys think can help.. Should I be targeting a certain fan base or show? Should I morph my style to something specific? My art is the only thing that's ever brought me money and right now I need it rather bad :l Should I attempt to learn pixel working? Can anyone help me with that?...

You know what I find unfair? People with premium memberships and people who are popular because of their relationship or because they crap out 5 drawings per day get more help than I do. What am I doing wrong? Someone please tell me. I lost two computers in one week with a worth of $900 loss. My desktop's power supply unit died and my laptop's hard-drive crapped out. Does anyone have spare ones? I'd love if I could have them. I offer everything that I can do in exchange for a simple penny. Why is it that no one can help? Am I seeking out too much from people? Honestly? What is it that my art needs improved on so I can actually fix my computers? I can't get a job and commissions are my only source of money. But I haven't gotten a commission in months.. I really just don't get it. The popular artists seem to have no problem earning money to go buy a plushy or something so how come I can't even earn a penny towards fixing my computer? I've seen about five fund-raising journals in the past few days that get more attention that one of my deviations does.

If you read this, thank you for your time. If you know someone with spare computer parts, direct me to them or them to me. If you think you can help in any way, please do. Snail mail money and any little bit can help a hell of a lot. I'm sure as soon as June rolls around, the cyber school will be asking for their computer back.

I'm a little saddened that no one cared much about my last update. But then at this point I'm fed up anyways.

Here's what's happened this week c:

Monday I ventured to West Virginia with my dad to pick up some windows for his job. We got lunch there and it was nice. I talked about AnthroCon and how badly I wanted to go most the time. I got to texting some friends and one friend who lives in Pittsburgh said that I can stay in the spare bedroom of his lil place he has with his two room-mates. Great! God, I have a place to stay now! All I need to do is get bus fare, food money, and I'm set! Oh, happy day!

Tuesday was okay. I wake up, get online, everything is just peachy... My boyfriend says we need to talk. And to sum it all up in one big emotional mess to spare you guys, he dumped me. So I'm single again.

Wednesday was amazing, surprisingly enough. I hung out at Curious sandbox on SecondLife all day and had a great time. Made about 6 new friends and it was a great rebuttal to the terrible depression of the day before. I also took most of the morning of that day to apply for jobs on snagajob.com. I need money for AnthroCon and so I have to take initiative. I went to sleep in early morning around.. I dunno.. 6am?

I wake up Thursday morning at around 7am. My body decides it wants to make me sick. I throw up and don't go to class that day. Go back to sleep for a few hours. I wake up around.. About.. Ehhh 2pm or so. I go to get on my desktop computer. Oh hell, my desktop wants to say "fuck you" and won't turn on. c: Power button totally unresponsive. To think that only 12 hours prior, it was working JUST fine and running SL and everything. Yup. Apparently the power supply unit blew. Chances of it taking my motherboard and hard drive with it? Extremely likely. So great. Well I'm out of a gaming computer. Okay. It's okay, I have a laptop.. I mean sure, I lost ALL my SecondLife photos and including ones I editted but.. I dunno.. That's still a lil saddening. Lucky for me when it was acting up a week or so prior to Thursday, I backed up all my mod textures and such to my laptop and school laptop. How was it acting up, you say? Well for some reason the volume kept auto-decreasing itself and if I were in browser, it would keep opening my bookmarks tab. And because it did it continually and non-stop, my tower would beep at me. My monitor also auto-powered off on itself and refused to turn back on at one point. I had to go into sleep mode via a button on my keyboard and then moved the mouse and it came back on. For the past 2 years I have not even once touched my desktop except for occasional file transfer. I have had it for roughly 5 or so years at the most. I got a lil over a month's usage out of it from February 14 (around there) to March 29th.

Thursday evening. From about.. Oh.. 5pm.. To 7am. I was awake. Doing NOTHING but burning ALL my files on my laptop onto disks. It took nearly 25 disks to do the job, which really was all I had. Those disks are plastic gold to me. They are sitting in my underwear drawer in a case. But yes, I spent over 12 hours burning well over thousands of files to disks. Waiting and waiting. Why was I doing this? Well my desktop ran SecondLife on low graphics just fine and Minecraft was easy to play! (Free version of course since I'm a poor ass) My desktop was amazing for gaming! My laptop? Total shit-stack. It won't run anything right. Can barely play Runescape on it and that's when NOTHING else is open at all. So.. Ya. Total piece 'o poo. I figured maybe if I reset/restore the whole thing, it will get better speed. Nope!

I was already very apprehensive of restoring it. I woke up Friday morning and I played on my laptop a bit. Talking to people and junk. Trying to avoid image sites so I don't save anything to a laptop I'm going to be resetting. A friend came over and I spent time with him. So later on in the night, around I believe 1am, I finally decided to restore the laptop. With the final words of "Wish me luck" to a friend on skype, I set out to restore the laptop in hopes and excitement that I would be able to play SecondLife on it very soon.

Not the case.

I went about restoring it. It was sitting on my lap table. So I laid back in my bed and rested a bit while it worked it's magic. The screen read that it would take about an hour. I didn't fall asleep but about 30 minutes passed. All of a sudden there was an error in the restoring. Then my computer restarted itself.. We come to this beautiful black screen of death. White letters. No color. It says there was a hardware problem. Okay.. Says I need my windows installation disk. I tore my room apart for 30 minutes and I couldn't find the disk. I gave up finally and got on my school laptop and talked on skype before going to sleep at around 3am. In the middle of the night, I look up and there's a white disk slip on my bed headboard. What could this be? Ah yes! It's my windows installation disk! I remember taking it out of the laptop's instruction box thingy and putting it up there to install windows 7 32bit a while ago. I place it in my undies drawer with my golden disks and go back to sleep.

I wake up. Saturday morning. Here I am. I was all excited and happy thinking that all was not lost. I put the disk in, reset the computer like it says to do. The disk reader makes a lil noise and then.. Nothing.. Same error.. I fell into a dark hole inside. Two computers in one week?.. Am I that unlucky?... So I restarted it a few more times.. I noticed in the bottom left corner when the HP welcome screen comes up, it says "Press esc for options stuff blah blah" and so I did. Up came a few things. I saw "Run system diagnostics" and in that menu there were different things to diagnose. I diagnosed a few things, including the hard disk. The test came out with a failure. Again, hopes crushed. I decide to call HP. I talk for a good 30 minutes to some foreign lady and get the end result that my hard drive has pooped out. That's why my laptop ran slow before. And restoring it I guess was the final push off the edge. That's why the disk wouldn't help the error message either. A new hard drive for my laptop is $95 and since it's a few years old, the warranty has ran out on it. I need a hard drive SPECIFIC to my laptop, too. So no getting around that.

I thought the most of my concerns lied with getting a bit of money for AnthroCon at the beginning of this week.. I thought that I would soon be in my boy friend's arms and be happy and everything would be pleasant.. I thought that maybe I could make a new mod this week on SecondLife..

Why is this happening? Should I fear for the rest of my possessions and happiness? I haven't been able to get a job in an entire year.. And now.. I am left with this school laptop. It belongs to a school that I have not been enrolled in for about 3 months. My sister still goes to that school. They're going to want their laptop back soon. What the hell am I supposed to do then? What can I do, really.. I can't get a job, I can't just expect my parents to help, and I don't really know anyone that can directly help me. My friend has a possible desktop that he is going to fiddle with but.. It's just.. I feel like giving up at this point.. To lose everything all at once in one week.. These computers are my life. I do all my art and expressing of myself on them.. And hell.. What if the disks with my laptop data on them got corrupted? Or something?... I'd.. I'd just.. Sigh.. This is another update for you guys.. Don't expect me around much. I'm praying for a miracle, praying that ONE of my friends can help me out while I still have contact with the interwebs. Thanks for reading, if you read this far..

So I felt I'd give you guys an update. I mean, really, I've only had a few people contact me since I kind of left this site. But I felt I'd atleast write a journal for them.

I'm enrolled in GED classes. I have been since near mid-February or so. Class is every Tuesday and Thursday from 9am to 3pm. I've only been to 3 classes. My grandfather had a heart attack and other things have been going on. He's fine and alive. I won't get into details as I don't want pity. Class is good. It's better than high school. I enjoy the praise that I receive as I have always enjoyed praising of any kind. The teacher and people are nice. In fact the last time I went to class, only 5 of us were there. It's quiet enough and I'm able to focus. I get work done and there's homework but I do it. I figured out I work better when I'm not pressured to a deadline.

It's taken me a while to write this journal. I'm dealing with a lot today. Emotional upset and the discovery of a large change in a friend's life. Other things are going on too. I'm trying to maintain conversations with several people.

SecondLife is a great life. I have a lot of.. Well I dunno, I guess "fun," on there. I make mod kits for the Curious Chinchilla avatar and pride myself in my works. I do it as a hobby and because it makes me happy but when I make a sale, it puts a smile on my face. Sadly I don't get many sales heh.. Anyway. I spend most my time there.

If you guys recall, my family has had financial trouble forever. We're moving. I believe I said that in a journal some where.. So far the building we're moving into is coming along rather slowly. My dad either doesn't have time or doesn't have money. The progress made is the dining room is cleaned up and ready to be renovated and my sister's bedroom and our bathroom have plywood on the floors. The kitchen, pantry, living room, and my dad's bedroom are pretty much finished. What's left to work on is the finishing of the dining room, my room, my sister's room, our bathroom, the laundry room, and another bathroom. But keep in mind that the things that need "finishing" have no ceilings, walls, insulation, or anything. An office is going to be added on later.

I still have no job. Nope. None. Not even a call back from places I've applied at. And I won't be going to AnthroCon. Unless by some miracle someone has a spare spot and is willing to have me as their art slave in exchange, I'm pretty hopeless. I mean, all I can offer is art and I guess a cooler full of sammiches or something. It royally sucks. The only money I have will be coming from my birthday which is literally only a week before AnthroCon and that's not very assuring. I have $100 right now but GED test sections cost $15 each and I need to take 3 I believe... Anyways. Ya. I'm actually very upset over this. Not a damn thing can be done about it though. Unless I somehow magically get over $500 for my own hotel room.. >.> That or I find a friend or something that lives in Pittsburgh and a way to get to and from the con daily. Even then I need money still for admission and etc which I don't have to spare right now. Anyone want to commission me? Heh. I'll upload some of my sketches for progress viewing's sake. Yes. I still draw.

I don't plan to stick around dA for long. And any more I've detached myself from a specific fursona. Reht is.. Just. She is no longer appealing to me. I don't like her colors. Really what I identify myself with is what avatar I have on currently in SL. I'm considering making a mod I made into my fursona. It's a lemur thing. But really I don't know. I thought I wanted to be a Jex then a fox and just blah. So disconnected. My male fursona is set in stone as a white goat but I never even finished his ref and put it up here. I've grown lazy.

So anyways. This is a huge update for you guys. I should be moving hopefully before the end of May but truthfully I want to move in with someone else and not my family. Oh well.. I'm tied to my town now. And to think I was the one who said I'd be gettin the hell out of here ASAP. Now I'm even planning to go to college here. Bah.. If you guys want to talk, message me. If you guys want to talk about AnthroCon, message me ASAP. Etc etc. Thanks for readin.

In need of pricing assistance. I am unsure as to what to price my money commissions at. My most expensive item previously was a 3-view ref sheet at $20.

Shipping prices will be varied of course and if you can help in calculating shipping, because I have no idea how to, that would be great. My zip code is 15301. Shipping will be tacked on to the item's price. Note me or comment on this journal if you see anything you are interested in.

All the items above that are for sale are going to help clean out my room more, particularly the stuffed animals. All money will go towards funding my trip to AnthroCon in June. It's far off but seeing as I haven't been contacted by any of the jobs I applied for, there's not much hope for fund raising otherwise.

Offer is over. Someone in my town has contacted me and will be buying it for $120. It's tons less than what I want to let it go for but whatever.


To anyone that helps me to advertise or sell my Wii - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl.....#ht_500wt_1287 - I will draw a free sketch :U And for a teensy TINY fee of like.. $5 I guess? I'll finish the sketch ;w; Please, friends, help me out! If any of you wanna see me at AnthroCon, this is the only way >o<


Putting this up here like I should have already. Do NOT ask me to do anything complicated because it's not worth it. I'm not a perfect artist and perception is not my friend. You ask for something complicated and you're going to get something that looks half-assed. :l Just saying.. Don't take advantage of me, k?

Just checking in, I guess. Christmas was good. I got a 3DS, Pokemon Rumble and Nintendogs, an iPod Touch G4, a laptop table, socks and undies, a fuzzy gray ear hat from hot topic, a cool black beanie with a bill that has a silver cross on it, two new plain color hoodies, some shirts, some snack foods, a plushie Shifu (only red panda plush around in stores I suppose xD ), a hair drier, some gum, lotions, body washes, etc... All and all a great Christmas. I'm rather sad it's over though.

From my neighbors, I got $20 which was surprising. And my Aunt gave me $50 for my bday/Christmas gift. So that there is going straight to AC. Technically I only have $20 to use right now. I'm hoping by some magical event that someone will commission me or that someone will buy my Wii but it's unlikely.. And now my old phone, DS Lite, and iPod Touch G1 are sort-of obsolete so I will probably sell them as well. I have tons of sketches that I'd love to finish but it's like there's no point in trying to impress people any more. If you need a picture done and have a bit of money, I'll do it. Any TINY bit counts. I'm accepting low prices for my art but please don't pay less just because of that.. If you have the money, I'd appreciate if you could pay the full amount of the pre-set prices.

Me and Alex are no longer really involved with eachother if any of you have noticed. I don't want to talk about it or make anything about that any more public than this. We are still friends and will likely be hanging out at AnthroCon.

Also not sure any more who I can trust or who my real friends are. It's come to the point where I'm not going to trust anyone any more and you need to gain my trust. I'm sick of getting hurt and being criticized by every move I make.

On a lighter note, my family and I are moving into a building we own in February/March. We are fixing everything up and all the rooms will be brand new. Someone is buying our house we are living in now. The building we own is fully paid off and we only have to pay utilities. There are about 4 floors to it and we're already renting out the lowest floor to someone. The rest, we will be living in. Me and my sister will have an entire floor to ourselves with large bedrooms and our own bathroom. I look forward to it and can't wait to get out of the house we're in now. I just have one problem: What do I decorate my new bedroom in? xD

I'm very tired. And so much is going on right now in real life. I'm so discombobulated. I'm split between college and Colorado.

Do I go to college for ONLY 14 months and get placed into a job after graduating, while the college also includes externships? The college is 40 minutes away, I could live on campus or commute. They have housing plans, not "dorms".. I'd be getting my Medical Administrative Assistant Degree which they have specific classes for. I would not be learning anything that I don't need (math, english, and other classes not needed) so it would be great. But then there's money issues. I am scared to be in debt. I don't want to ever own a credit card. Everyone in my family is in serious debt, and, knowing me, I would take advantage of the devilish piece of plastic. But I'd need it.. For college. I don't know how much it will cost and I may or may not have a scholarship. I don't participate in after-school activities or clubs and I'm not athletic. So I dunno..

OR.. Do I go to Colorado? I would live with my friends Tal, Joe, and I believe Zair. It would cost me $400 a month with utilities included and I'd only have to worry about food and entertainment. I would live in a household of furries and I would be able to participate in regularly scheduled fur-meets. I would live with other fur suiters as well. It'd be so fun.. I would have some sort of job and have left over money, I'm sure, every month. I'd be around people that I love and care for so deeply. Plus, I would travel to AC with them every year and I'd be right next to Rocky Mountain Fur Con and Nan Desu Kan. It'd open up a lot of social oppurtunities for me. I would save up money to eventually go to a college either on campus or online, whatever would be best in the area. This method, too, has a downside. I'm afraid I won't go to college. Post-poning it may cause me to never even go. Also, everyone in my immediate family have went to college, but they've all also dropped out..


I need to make up my mind by next June. If I decide college, I need to do tons of paper work and etc. If I choose Colorado, I need to start packing right about now the stuff that I don't need at all times and get my driver's license ASAP. If going to Colorado, I would probably go to AC with my car jam-packed and a U-Haul truck readily at hand and follow the guys home after AC is over. Either way, I need to get a job NOW and a license NOW. I have a car already.

I need help on this guys. What do you think I should do? I'm so confused and so very scared. It's so difficult.. I would leave behind a lot of people in this town if I go to Colorado but college would be just 40 minutes away. I would be leaving behind so many memories but I could visit though. But Colorado has so many opportunities for me, I think. Expressing myself is the one thing I am greatest at and it would be so easily accomplished in Colorado. People have told me to follow my heart but.. My heart is split in two on this.. So.. I am asking all of you for your advice. Please, help a pandurp out? :c
