Alrighty...this is going to be a long journal, so if you don't want to read everything, I encourage you to read anything in bold. I'm just warning you ahead of time, because that's how much has happened this weekend. It's very important.
First thing is, I have had a LOT of trouble with my Sprint contract this weekend, and it's not entirely Sprint's fault. I am going to tell you all, right now, to NEVER get a phone from any place except the store that is owned by said phone company. For example, if you see a kiosk saying "Sprint" in the mall, avoid it like the plague. Go to an actual Sprint store. I will explain by showing you the email I sent to Sprint. Just go here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....AkJ4OwONs/edit
Second, for anyone that is wondering how my weekend went after that horrible, horrible fiasco, it was ok, but not perfect. I was out of the house the entire weekend, thanks to a minidrake. This is someone I tend to hang around often, and he's always been kind to me. Well, he's the one that helped with the whole Sprint ordeal, ensuring that I wasn't going to get ripped off. I stayed at his apartment, Friday through Monday, just hanging out and whatnot. I'm really glad I had him around, though I was starting to get a bit antsy on Monday, because I wanted to work on my commissions, but at least I got to relax.
I also went to a baseball game, second one I've ever been to. My team won (Indianapolis Indians) with 8 points, yet we only had 6 hits. Let's just say the other team had so many errors, we kept walking and loading the plates ;3
I also went to an event that was specifically tailored to naughty, naughty conversations...I had coffee with a few unknowns, and I was one of three furries attending, and I only knew one of the others X3 it was still a fun event, and I'll probably go again, but long story short, some poor girl didn't know what an orgasm was X3
I didn't get to work on commissions much this weekend due to every single thing happening...but, I suppose I should just try to stop worrying about if I'll work on it and just work on it when possible. After all, it's more or less a hobby, even if I am getting money for it. I should enjoy it, not be stressed out, heh. The goal is for me to complete them while having fun, not try to rush them. I want to give quality work, not just write things, shove them aside, and run to the next thing in a hurry. I need time with this, quality work takes time. Hell, any artist knows that :3
Anyway...I now have a third pet. Yes, I'm becoming a total dom at this rate, yet...I've noticed that it's only specific ones I'm going after. Either I must already have an emotional connection, or it must be one that develops quickly and lasts for longer than a few days. I think I should definitely limit myself to these three pets at this rate...at least my mate can help in this, it makes things so much easier to know he's fine with this, so I think three pets is fine <3 if we get more, I may not mind it so much, but I don't want to be overwhelmed...I do show each of them great affection and love, though for at least two of them, it involves me saying things that are probably not exactly tactful. Which brings me to the last journal I made.
To anyone concerned about my last journal, about what I said about
tidalechoes, I wish to assure you that I'm not hurting him. He wants this, and even at that, he will always have the option of no longer being my pet. There's no "right" way of going about such a broad interest as master/pet relationships...there are plenty of wrong ways, but no one true way of doing it. He is my pet, yes...and I guide him, because I see him as an equal. I give advice when he wants it, and I show him kindness, always. I do everything in my power to make him happy, as he does for me. My words make him happy, when I sound possessive, so I do understand that it seems like I was getting carried away, and I'll admit that...but, this is what he likes as well, so please don't be too concerned. Keep in mind, not all master/pet relationships are as "passionate" as the ones I have with my pets. I just happen to somehow be this assertive...but I'm literally only like this when I know I can be. I'm not like this randomly, I can't do that...I only do this when I know it's fine ^.=.^
I think that's pretty much it...I'll try to respond to things when possible, but I've been so busy that it's scary. I'm at work right now...but I'll try to respond to things ^.=.^;;

And yeah...my poor life...it's trying to reassemble itself X3
As for the commissions, you are totally right that you shouldn't be pressured with them, but a lot of Artists don't know that. It is very competitive when it comes to drawing and painting, and some of them are using it as their main income. More of them need to relax a bit and stop pumping out pieces of mediocre quality for their skills. Good Luck and take all the time you need ^^
Your life, sir, seems like Tetris, a lot of strangely blocks falling from the sky and fiting into each other and vanishing when they form a row.
Wow, the master/pet thing there last journal got a bit out of hand? o.o; I know I did my own small share there but I ment it jokingly.
