My guilt +Life Update
10 years ago
Hey friends! I am not on as much as I probably should and so behind on uploading new stuff that it's actually quite intimidating- where do I start? what should I leave out/not bother uploading? this train of thought keeps up until I just...don't...upload at all. oops. haha! I better just start I guess.
Comment on this journal or note me asking about this and I will:
1. Tell you what animal/creature you remind me of. (Golden retriever, you know, the ones with the semi-curly longer hair? yeah those ones. the friendly nice ones.)
2. Tell you what colour I think fits you. (This one is sortof difficult, actually. The color of Larkspurs when they turn in the fall is just a little too dark for you, but the fields as they begin to rest are too light a color. Maybe the fall corn stalks in a slightly foggy sunset light- providing it's not too orange)
3. Tell you how I feel about you. (Baffled mostly- I never thought I could have a really great long term internet friend and yet, here you are! Proud, because i know you've been through some struggles but you're so honest about them. I really admire that about you.)
4. Insult you. (You underestimate your potential and skills far too often, you fluffy headed goob)
5. Tell you my favourite OC of yours. (do you have any oc's other than Kami? I'm trying to remember...)
6. Tell you what season you remind me of. (the beginning of autumn, where things are starting to change and fall but you can still be surprised by new green growths)
7. Tell you what food you smell like in my head. (Somewhere between Cumin and Curry? that's not quite right but you get the idea)
8. Think of a random nickname for you. (You've been Kami for so long to me I have no Idea. Chicken nugget? Pigeon? Yam-Yams? yeah lets go with Yam-Yams)
9. Tell you what element you remind me of. (Earth, but the Yellow kind. Like sand and wheat and that soft saffron stone)
10. Ask you to put this in your journal without using the word 'tag' (You've already done this so I can't very well ask you again.)
Examples were written to
because I got these from his journal :)
My Job Life Updates:
[caution giant rant ahead]
Finally got a legit job (been doing temp work and yardwork etc type stuff in the meantime. All I have to say is those people who push carts all day all week for a job are gods. GODS I TELL YOU. that was hands down the worst temp job I have ever had and it was 1 day. 6 hours straight. I was so dehydrated and exhausted by the end of it. I had bruises ALL up and down my shins and blisters on my toes so big they looked like mushrooms or additional toes were growing. [it was rainy the day I did it, so wet feet+carts running over already blistering feet = mushroom toe)every time I accidentally knocked my shin I almost cried it hurt so bad. and I only got a 15 minute break for lunch- seriously I have no explanation for how I even got through that shift other than god must have sent help because I was counting the minutes man, I was counting the minutes. I have no Idea how I was able to drag myself back downstairs for the last 4 hours. it was awful. I appreciate those people so much more now. and you can bet your butt nuggets that I will be grabbing carts from the cart return to use rather than waiting till I get in the store to grab one.
anyway, got a non-temp real job a a sushi restaurant bussing tables! :) so I'm happy about that. still has it's tough points but hey, what job doesn't? and college sure as heck doesn't pay for itself!
Been busy- my brother got home from England where he was serving a 2 year mission for our church so It's been a blast having him around again (he's the next sibling right after me so yeah) for the 1st month I was home there were crazy things happening left and right- it felt like an entire summer was packed into that 1 month! then my two married older sisters and their kids visited and then my parents decided to visit england with my bro (and younger sister went too) while I was left at home with the youngest 2 bros (that sorta sucked- I've always wanted to travel abroad but am too chicken to go on my own) then came my birthday, then came to job hunting, then came Halloween costume planning/making and Inktober(still in the middle of that) not to mention I'm still finishing up that book illustration commission for my sister...I feel like I've been going a million miles an hour for ages (but at the same time, that I've been slacking because there is so much to do sometimes I take a whole or half day and just read or watch netflix or whatever but then I feel guilty- I just need a break man XD I really want to do a bunch of animation projects (and I NEED to get started on my BFA again) but I can't do that because my laptop is so old and crappy it can barely handle my old SAI program much less animation seoftware and photoshop cc.
IM WHINING A LOT BUT REALLY LIFE IS GOOD I SWEAR. I'm just tired a lot- physically and mentally. Partly because I'm trying to get myself back into shape (sitting on the couch doing art all day does not a healthy physique make) and not sleeping properly (for my body anyway. I gotta have 8 hours consistently. & since I'm at home for my break that means I get woken up at 7:30 or earlier every morning by le family whyyyyy)[sorry I'm whining AGAIN]
so anyway. there's that. aaaand I wrote a lot of drivel and I'm sorta tired so I'll end this journal with that XD
Also Including "Yam-Yam's" s answers to the questions about me because they were just so nice :)
1. I know you're all about owls, but you've always struck me as a red panda, even beyond Kichi. Just the way you doddle about draws a parallel in my head.
2. I would say a crystal blue, like you might see at a mountain lake. Something very pure.
3. I consider it a tremendous privilege to know you. Every time I watch you grow along your path I feel like I'm witnessing history. That and you're pretty cool.
4. You're super-wholesome in a June Cleaver kind of way.
5. I've always enjoyed watching you draw yourself! You always look so free in your own work. Kichi if that doesn't count.
6. You remind me of the point in autumn just right before it gets cold, when many of the leaves have fallen away but it's not cold yet.
7. Somehow I see you smelling of ginger.
8. You already have so many! Hmm..... how about the Owlpress?
9. You remind me of the Wind. Soft and gentle, but occasionally in a rather violent hurry.
10. I am most interesting in seeing how you would identify your acquaintances in this fashion.

9. You remind me of the Wind. Soft and gentle, but occasionally in a rather violent hurry.
10. I am most interesting in seeing how you would identify your acquaintances in this fashion.
Also the thing:
1. A fluffy baby fox! (you could be mischievous or sneaky if you wanted to but most of the time it's just being a cute ball of fur)
2. The red of a perfectly ripe Apple still on the Tree
3. Fun, and super sweet. like a snow-cone at the fair. Probably capable of a brain freeze under the right conditions though XD
4. "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"
5. Hatoma- esp chibi mode
6. Spring! when all the snow thaws and things start to grow, little green treasures poking up, delicate, but strong in it's own way. Sometimes there are leftover from fall that were hiding under the melted snow, too.
7. Strawberries
8. Rye or maybe Hattie...I don't know XD my nicknames I give people can be random (I call my sister Biscuit for heavens sake)
9. Fire. Like the warmth of the sun on a cold day or a fizzing sparkler/firework
10. It'd be fun to see your replies but do what you want XD
I'm so going to post this in my journals. Thanks for the fluffy kind words and I hope you have a Fall and Winter season =^w^=
you're very welcome :) and I will!
