Good lard'.... over half a year since I've posted a journal... would probably have sooner if I felt there was something worth posting I guess ^.=.^;

But I guess thats been my problem lately, after mostly completing my suit I've had such a hard time getting any momentum going... I've got all sorts of ambitious ideas and projects bouncing around in my head, but when I have the chance to start putting time into it, I lose all focus and basically give up before I even start...
I guess its always been the problem for me, even back in art-school my best work was almost EXCLUSIVELY done while working with a whole room-full of other artists... Just wish I wasn't cooped'-up down in the basement... but at the same time im not sure how comfortable I would be trying to work closer to where my roomie and mate would both be relaxing or doing whatever...
I dunno, just wish I could be around people on the same level of working on things... maybe thats why some artists/suit-makers do live-streams with other artists at the same time? *shrugs*

The good news at least is that I've been resting better than I have for the last SEVERAL years just thanks to simple ear-plugs... who knew right? ^.=.^; and most of my depression/anxiety only flared up around Christmas, (damn you repetitively-sickening holiday music at work x.=.x; ) and yeah, getting better rest helped IMMENSELY.

I guess another big thing that happened over the past chunk of months was that I badly injured my right wrist playing drums one night, and it turned out to be a pulled tendon + damaged cartilage @.=.@; (I have to remember to not go overboard when playing to System Of A Down Tracks ^^;) I was out of work for 2 months straight, and couldn't collect unemployment because my job was holding on to my position for me to come back to work.... aaaanyway, long story short, after wearing braces and babying my wrist I finally feel 99% back to normal now (and only after roughly 5 months!) Hopefully it keeps getting better so I can continue LARPing in the spring X3

Oh, yeah, and having 2 jobs over the holidays is INSANE... Not only did I have the pleasure for the 3rd year in a row of working at a downtown grocery-store for the whole holiday-season, but I work at the same Game Stop location that  Wolfemasters also works at part-time (I maybe get 1-2 shifts a week, and dont know if I was just holiday-help or a more permanent part-timer) but yeah... day AFTER Christmas was insane... nothing but kids with holiday-money, gift-cards, forgotten accessories... the works @.=.@;

After all is said and done I really look forward to what I can accomplish this year, I just hope I can figure out how to set myself up into a more encouraging work-environment to get things done ^.=.^;

Oh and, Yay Star Wars :D
