An Update for Those Who Care
13 years ago
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.
