Commissions are currently OPEN! See below for more information.
Don't wait for the queue to shrink—the commission docket is rarely empty.Oh.. Mah... Glob, you guys.
So. We were planning to move, I know I told you that. I had some artist's block but I apparently got over that today. 11 hours of work when I haven't managed more than 3 or 4 in a day in the past month... sleep deprivation (and hardship) seems to really kick my inner badass into gear. But yeah.
We had our hearts set on this one place, and if anyone reading has been reading my shitty journals for the past few years you might remember that whole bullshit with our electric company screwing us over like a ten dollar lady of the night. That came back to bite us in the ass with this place. Cory told me today that our credit reports had turned up my student loans and the electric company's ridiculously outrageous like $9,000 debt (for which we are still considering seeking legal counsel to fight off, considering that we basically were using NO POWER WHATSOEVER FOR SIX MONTHS and still had $800 electric bills every month. I remember telling the customer service guy, "We couldn't rack up that kind of bill if we were running a fucking underground CASINO on the ROOF--what the hell kind of sense is this making to you?!").
Well, thankfully, the real estate agent went to bat for us with the owners and convinced them to let us pay a double deposit (sucks, but them's the kicks). She explained that student loans are kind of everybody's burden right now, and that the electric company thing was totally us getting fucked in the ass. She explained we were nice, sweet young kids who totally are financially responsible, but our credit history is totally suckfest, and they agreed to let us move in.
So. We are getting the place we wanted. I don't have to live in a gunsmoke part of town. We will have wood floors. We will have a neighbor who is a paralegal. We will have a cute little front lawn and a porch and be five minutes from our very best friends in town.
We are having to bust our asses to come up with the money, and it is going to suck royally for a really, really long time. We're going to be broke and desperate, but we will at least have our own place and we will hopefully be on our way to being grown-ups.
...I think my original point of posting this journal was to say "look at me, I'm making shittons of commission queue progress now that I'm not packing boxes 24/7!" but I kinda blew it. Again, I've been up for about 24 hours. Yeah, 24 hours, exactly.
I'm gonna go watch some Adventure Time, finish off Sovy's commission and send it off and then conk out for god knows how long! <3 Love you guys. You are my sanity. xoxo.

We got kinda a similar power company here, who's charging people extra if they consumed more a month than last year in the same month. It's getting warmer, they gave people air-conditioning, new TVs, etc... they obviously will have higher bills, and get forced to pay the fine (which is double the normal payment), with literally no way out but to not use any of their new devices.
Now, there's also some people who actually weren't in their houses last year...so from using no electricity to using a lightbulb now, they will have to pay double.
Annoying.
Glad those folks were understanding and gave you guys a chance.
I'd love to live in a house someday, apartment life doesn't suit me. (plus I hate
lugging laundry down 3 flights of stairs)
What's your fav adventure time episodes?
I think I've watched Memory of a Memory a bunch and
the one with the Ghost Gladiators o .o
