a few days of radio silence
14 years ago
sorry for the silence and lack of uploads. i've been having a rough couple of days. it seems like just your standard bout of depression. like most people, i get them now and again with little warning or consideration for convienence.
anyway, it seems to be on its way out. the weekend was spent in battle against it, going to the museum and visiting the house and getting snails and a new betta for my fish tanks.
some people were asking i they can do anything to help, and really the best you can do is just ignore it and wait for it to go away and me to get back on track. real depression (as opposed to teenybopper depression) just needs to run its course and work through the negative chemicals that are causing it. i don't know why my brain sets out random bouts of bad chemicals, but it runs in the family so.
a few people have asked questions about the nikitak plush, too. let me see if i can answer them.
when will the plush actually be made?
i don't know, because this is ENTIRELY up to how many votes it gets. i think the average amount of votes a plush needs to be manufactured is around 200 or 250. i BELIEVE that after it gets that many votes, they make a run of 50 plushes. so really the math works out that not everyone who votes need buy a plush, but there ought to be enough for the people who do want to buy one *IF* it gets made.
currently its votes are at about 92 / 200+ which means we have a ways to go. if you haven't voted, vote now. encourage your buddies to vote, too. even if you don't plan on buying the plush, you'll make someone's day who really does want that plush.
how much will the plush cost?
again, don't start saving your pennies until we get enough votes, but their average plushes go for between 30-40$. considering their size (fairly large) and complexity, that sounds fair enough to me. again, i'm not sure at all what it'll cost until the nikitak actually reaches the production stage which depends entirely upon how many votes it gets. if possible, i'll try to keep the price on the lower-end. it might not be up to me, though, i really don't know.
can i get a custom colour/designed nikitak plush?
not from PT, it doesn't look like. however, depending on the mods you want done, i'll be happy to do them myself if the plush actually gets produced. dying and sewing little outfits is no big thing to me.
i think that's all people have been wondering. but yeah, plush needs more votes, please vote if you haven't, etc.

I'm still waiting for confirmation from that site. If I can't still can't log on by Wednesday, I'll register again.
What was the phrase? "Depression is anger without motivation."
Also, I hope the nikitaks do eventually get made. I'll have my own space trucker sitting on my desk, cluttering up my paperwork! :P
