General Life Update and...Stuff.

So...uh, yeah, another Journal.
On art, I'm still trying to get started. I'm procrastinating furiously at it, mainly out of guilt because there's a pile of school stuff I haven't done (online lessons, final dissertation, impending exams). Plus...the girlfriend. Parents went out of town for the weekend and she decided to come over and spend the night. Sex won't happen, since she had uterus surgery just last week and is still recovering internally from issues with the anesthetic, which left her in agonizing pain for nearly a week.
Anyway, the issue is...she's head over heels with me. But I'm not. She's a fun, morbid and dark person and all, the kind that loves my gory art and would have sex while listening to Nox Arcana...but I'm not all "LOOOVE" at her, really. Usually, that's not a very fun match, especially considering how I've been a loner the past half a dozen years...Will have to see how this goes.
Back to art...yes, lazy, procrastination, negativity and too much gaming. The usual. D:
Lastly...the recent med I've been taking. Thankfully it didn't screw up my sleep again, but it did other things. One, I'm actually concentrating on some stuff and not changing things and restarting games and pictures every morning. That is great for me. Two, unfortunately it also causes drowsiness. I've been sleeping early and in the afternoon as well. Third, the most amusing one...apparently this class of anti-depressant/anti-anxiety drug causes...sexual dysfunctions. Basically, it's been very hard for me to get a boner. lol
...But it's a temporary side effect. I've been returning to normal recently. ;3
Well, that's it...Sigh, I need to do art faster. Maybe I'll start selling sketches or something. Maybe colored, 1-hour Krita sketches...What do you guys think? o_o;

As for the girlfriend... I'd just take things at their natural pace and see what happens. No harm is trying and seeing how things go, right? It sounds like she is trying so I'd respect her for that at least.
As for the meds, nothing is every perfect, yeah? Well, hopefull the sleepiness and, um, other effects will decrease as you get used to the stuff.
Try putting a sketch commission or two out there and see what kind of interest there is. Or if you're confident enough in your speed, do in-stream commissions. But don't get discouraged if things are a little slow at first, my observation is that those kind of things start slow and then build momentum, probably because it just takes time for word to get out.
