Hello Again~!
14 years ago
Cross posted from DeviantARTSo I'm sure a lot of you have been wondering where I've been (If not, that's cool too.) I went up to Portland, Oregon for another extended stay. It was nice, for the most part; Oregon actually has winters, my God! Thank goodness I love to crochet warm things.
If my roommate can manage to keep the apartment I'll be moving in. I'm back in California for now, but truth be told I no longer want to live here. Don't get me wrong, I used to absolutely love California, but that was in better times. Now... Well, unemployment is almost as high as the price of living. I can't seem to land a job here no matter how hard I try. I don't have a whole lot of work experience, so I don't blame employers for not taking a chance on me, but while I was in Portland I applied to many jobs. I got more call backs in three months then I have in a year living in Rialto.
I want out of dodge as soon as possible. Anywhere, but here is starting to look good. I just don't have the funds for a major country-wide move. All of my belongings would have to stay at my mother's house while I lived out of a suit case and slept on a couch for awhile. It sounds pitiful, but it's much better then staying in California, that's for damn sure. I feel like I'm trapped!
*sigh*
Anyway, until I hear back from my roommate I'm at my mother's house. I decided to formatted my computer's hard drive to give the poor clunker a second chance. My sister was using it a lot while I was away, poisoning the poor thing with all kinds of adware and spyware. My files were backed up and on the clean HD, however I've switched back to Photoshop 7.0. The program seems to be more agreeable with my computer then Photoshop CS4. So I'll be working with 7.0 until I can get a new(er) computer.
I've also gone ahead and canceled the Icon Sale. I think I refunded those that were on the list, but If I missed any please let me know as soon as possible. I lowered my prices for commissions too. I haven't had the best track record lately when it comes to commissions. In fact, I realize I haven't drawn much of anything. I'm trying to remedy that, but it's hard to put the energy into it when you've got much more serious worries on your mind.
I miss talking with my friends. I'm still on AIM, but I've also got a Skype account for voice chatting; I even have Ventrilo and Mumble if you prefer those programs. So hit me up sometime would'ya, punks? Being distant is lonely and being depressive sucks.
