My changes for 2017
9 years ago
i am abit late to making this kind of journal considering we are already several days within the new year, but might as well make it anyway.
For this year I will try to make some changes for myself both on here and in general. I do not call them resolutions as quite frankly I am not that resolute with things ^_^.
First one is a typical and obvious one which is to get better in shape. I have been super lazy last year, giving up on hobbies because I preferred to always be on my computer. I am getting close to 30 so I really should watch my weight and fitness alot more. The moving about more I think I can do but boy I am not so sure about avoiding eating alot of things.
I would also like to try more new things. I have always had this odd apprehension of trying new things whether its an activity, game or anime etc. I feel like it won't be worth it so I always stick to what I already do/watch. I need to have more going on in my life lol.
As for here I am going to do my best to be more active in commenting on submissions and journals. Another thing I have become super lazy with. There is soo many things that I fav or read yet I don't put the effort into commenting on it. While some of that is down to me being slightly simple minding, unable to come up with anything interesting to say except...cool or awesome, I feel that I need to stop being quiet lazy ass and actually make a better effort.
I will try to post more on my gallery of the commissions I get. I still feel worry about uploading pics due to many of them being the same typical things I get or the same character, but I will try to get passed that wall.
The final thing is a big thing and something that is going to sound odd but I have reasons to why.
I would like to have less patience.
I like to think I am a patient person and having it is a good thing, but I have come to realize that sometimes there should be a limit to it. I hate to sound like a broken record but as some of you may know I have been having slight problems with commissions. I have many commissions "in the works" which I have been waiting on for months and years. I have always tried to be discreet and fair when checking to the status of commissions, yet I always get the same response of "Things have cropped up. Will get to it" or "I am working on it this week". I am abit ashamed to admit that I have over $1000 worth of commissions I am still waiting for that is dating back over years for a fair chunk of them.
While I am against the idea of bothering artists frequency to ask about them as it can be a rude and unhelpful thing to do (plus I do not like confrontation), After this long and this amount I need to become more stern and serious about it. during this year I am going to be more "active" in trying to get the stuff I have paid for. This will label me as a douche to some and will most likely result in me losing all chance in getting some of the commissions but right now I think I'd rather do this than just wait and "hope for the best".
Now that I am done with all that I hope everyone has a great 2017 and succeeds in the goals they have.

I do like the resolution about being less patient. So much money being wasted would be sad. You could at least ask for your money back should they not deliver anything
Yea having soo much patience can lead to being taken as a fool while I had happen to be alot over the years. the problem with asking for the money back is that chances are they cannot do that because they cannot afford to so it is just another long wait to see if they can trickle down the amount.
BOY, I know people who did some TRULY sick stuff, and they didn't even care.
With Komamura being my favorite I do always want to see more and more of him ^^
I even have a big plush of him in my bedroom :3
