An update (dealing with the police, and life moving on)
General | Posted 10 years agoWell, my midterms are coming up in my two studio classes, and surprisingly that means I suddenly have a lot of free time, because the only homework I have is my midterm projects. It also means I'll have more to post soon, so that's really all those of ya'll that don't care about the personal crap need to read. :b
I'm also feeling a little more emotionally stable, if only just. The police contacted me for followup on my sexual assault report in what resulted in one of the most confusing and terrifying days of my life... Two officers showed up at my apartment door with the understanding they were picking up someone who spoke good Italian.
My Italian is...good enough for navigating and buying things at the market. I am certainly not conversational. One of the two officers spoke a little english. The other spoke none. Both I, and my housemate that was home, were awoken by this and were very confused.
The officer that spoke some English was able to, with my limited Italian knowledge and his limited English, explain I "needed to make a report" and that they could take me to the station.
I figured out that he meant the followup with a detective (investigatore) after a comment made by his partner that I understood...maybe three words of.
I was taken to the station, and while the detective that spoke with me was almost...aggressively friendly, his english was worse than the patrol officer's, and he was frustrated and confused to learn that I spoke only a little Italian.
As I learned, when my initial report was taken down, they did not write down a translator as being used. This is realllyyyy bad for a number of legal reasons. He asked if I had anyone I could call, and I attempted to explain that I didn't have the number for the woman that translated for me the first time, but that I had the number of her colleague, and she could contact her for me.
He understood me as saying that I had the number for my prior translator, leading to what must have been one of the most confusing calls that poor teacher received that day. Thankfully she figured out what was going on, and called my teacher, and the colleague that had translated for me prior.
After nearly thirty minutes of waiting at the station, and awkward attempts at conversation initiated by the detective, (I do wish the stereotype about all Texans having huge ranches with horses was less widespread...and cowboy six shooter impressions stop being funny after the third time...) they arrived.
The report was taken down again, and it was explained to me that, with police escort, they were hoping I would be willing to go back to where things happened to point out the shop where the assault took place.
This is when we hit a huge snag.
The detective wished to take down the woman translating for me as the official translator for the case. This would mean she could be called in to discuss things in my stead, even after I have left the country.
...this is not ok.
However, as she declined being taken down as the official translator, the police now have to find a translator they can hire on, which means I have to give the entire report all over again at some undetermined point in the future...
Honestly I was shaking already having to give it a second time, and my memory is swiss cheese on what happened by now as it is...
I'm scared.
And while the police are taking me very seriously (which is reassuring) already I've been asked questions making sure I "told him no" and "used force in getting away."
...which seems to imply that being too afraid to act (which I was for a significant amount of time,) will be read as compliance.
I'm scared now, if there IS video footage they can pull, that it will be read that way. I was friendly with the seller at first, even laughing at his jokes before he started to advance more forcefully on me, because he WAS being genuinely friendly at first, and I WAS actually looking to potentially buy something there.
Hghhh
And on top of that I managed to get sick during my trip to Urbino, so now I'm fighting off a sinus infection and have no real energy. ._. Still, at least I'm mentally better than I was, and I'm getting things done again.

Hnnm... (paranoia and bad feels?)
General | Posted 10 years agoSo I've gotten a few concerned PMs as well, and this was originally pretty incoherant.
I'm leaving the original but crossing it out. As before, skip to the bottom to avoid all the drama and crap.
I'm in Italy right now, studying abroad. The workload is massive, and I'm getting used to not sleeping. The Italian people are generally friendly, but I don't have any friends here in Italy, and while I can get along with my roommates, we truthfully don't have a lot in common. They're closer to the same age and hang out a lot, and I often feel excluded because while they've found other freshman aged folks to hang with that have things in common with them, I...haven't? And there isn't anyone in any of my classes.
The issue is I don't do well with loneliness, and whereas normally I'm fine and just talk to people online, timezone differences have made that almost impossible. I already feel out of sync from the times I DO stay up way too late to talk to people. SO much has happened without me already.
The problem is I have depression. There's a significant anxiety component to my depression, and a big part of that anxiety is paranoid thoughts. Normally I can keep them in check, but a few weeks ago I had to file a sexual assault report with the local police.
I AM UNHARMED, and want to make that clear. I was not raped, but that was clearly the direction the encounter was going before I managed to escape. The problem is the individual responsible, while I couldn't give good enough information for a definite positive identification, (and there are no security cameras where this happened,) has picked me out in a crowd a few times since. I've heard his voice many times, though I haven't been able to see him, and I now feel forced to avoid the market closest to my house. (Which means getting less fresh, more expensive produce from a grocer. I can deal with that.)
The problem is since what happened, I've been in paranoia overload and I can't control it the way I usually can.
Add to this that a few people have stopped talking to me recently (and no longer respond to my notes,) and I've heard second or third hand that others are spreading nasty things about me...
I've been working myself in to a nervous wreck.
So without naming names...ghhh
If I've done anything wrong in short, I'm sorry. And if you feel I have fucked up pretty bad, I'd appreciate discussing it in private. I don't want to hurt anyone. My life has suffered enough upheaval and I just want to move on. Please let me do that.
This semester has had such a huge workload.
But at this point I'm grateful it keeps me busy. I have less time to think. For those of you that don't give a shit and just want the art, ehh.. the paragraph at the end is more your speed.
It's bittersweet, I guess.
On one hand I don't have to think about some of the shit going on I wish I could forget. On the other I don't have time to talk to loved ones or... I guess.. decompress. Relax. Have fun.
And despite my best efforts I still hear about bullshit going on second (or third?) hand.
I can't help a little paranoia.
I feel like everyone is going to hate me, eventually. The problem is I don't know if it's paranoia anymore or just...justified due course with some of the crap going on.
It's hard...
Italy is so lonely. I don't have friends here. I'm lonely all the time. All the time.
I don't have anyone I can relate to or hang out to or just chat with. I don't have people who share common interest.
And I'm afraid that when I finally come home it's always going to be like this, from here out.
After all, if I can't talk, I can't defend myself, right?
And people pray on the lonely..
I've become a shut in, more or less. I don't go out much outside of classes and I put off buying groceries as long as I can. I'm terrified of being alone but I don't have anyone I can ask to go with me. I always feel unwanted when I follow my roommates to go grocery shopping with them.
I'm just terrified and I don't want to have to file a second police report for sexual assault with the police.
and I know he's there somehwere? And I've heard his voice and I just
My depression has been so terrible this semester. The workload might keep my mind from drifting other directions for long, but it's certainly no solace and there's no way I can find healing in it. Crying myself to sleep has become the norm and the biggest thing I've learned so far is how to keep quiet when doing so.
I wish FA at least wouldn't let you know whether or not people have read your notes. That's a bad feeling, knowing you're not worth it to bother replying.
I should just get used to that. I'm sorry. I don't even know what I've done wrong anymore. I just know I have a long history of never being good enough and... And I can't help sometimes feeling like everyone would be better off with me gone but I have to keep soldiering on somehow, even if there's nothing and no one waiting for me at the end, I guess.
Anyway.
I'll try to have more uploads soon. I have a fair backlog of stuff to post, it's just hard to find energy to even keep my tumblr updated right now. I can't make any promises as to "when" but... I'll try to get stuff uploaded and show recent stuffs, even if it's just school work. I'll be posting a LOT of figure drawing exercises soon.

Italy!
General | Posted 10 years agoSo, I've been in Italy about 3 weeks now.
Florence is a beautiful city. We're not far from il Duomo di Firenze--a five minute walk, maybe--and the school is a five minute walk away as well.
The professori are very friendly at SRISA, and I definitely feel like I will learn a lot, but so far everything is SO BUSY. Maybe eventually I'll get used to being woken up by street cleaners every 5 AM, but for now I (and my housemates) are definitely not, haha.
Hopefully I will have more to post soon. Keeping up with life is definitely a challenge right now.
as is, once I get done here, I need to pack because we're heading to Rome for a 3 day trip tomorrow morning!

Open for commissions!

Commission Information
http://twitter.com/Celeathka I'm a twit, too 8D
sketches and WIPs + art posted immediately
My financial situation has gone from bad to worse, and I can't keep relying on odd jobs and draining my bank account to meet the deficits each month...
My loan payments will go dormant again next semester, but a few nasty things have happened...
- First, I was told we'd have around $3500 in scholarship for next semester, as part of the foreign exchange, so I PLANNED for that. What they DIDN'T tell us was that the scholarship money wouldn't arrive until January, whereas the $7000 for next semester is due in...a week and a half.
- I HAD to get a laptop, and due to how payment plans work/etc, had to get it immediately. (I need it for next semester.) The WEEK we went to get it, the store dropped from a 24 months no interest to an 18 months no interest plan (outside of sound systems..) so the payments are about $250/month.
- I'm finally progressing with commissions? ...but I definitely need to take more to make ends meet.
So, here's what I'm going to do.
I'm opening for commissions. $10 for headshots, $15 for waist up, and $20 for full body. I'll offer a discount for rough work (just quick colours slapped under the sketch) 25% off, or 50% off for just a sketch. So you could get a sketch headshot for $5.
In the interim, between classwork, I'll keep plugging away at work I still owe. I have a few confirmation sketches to send as soon as I can get access to a working scanner.
My priority is making the laptop payments. My loan payments go on freeze again next semester, and I'll be able to use subsidized loans to...pay off the unsubsidized ones.
Which sounds terrible (and honestly is) but I'm eligible for a government debt forgiveness program in 10 years, starting whenever my butt enters grad school, so I just have to hope for the best.
I just want to move forward with my life after all of this... somehow.

I hate needing help and being afraid to ask for it. ._.
It's not a pride issue either. I'm fully aware of how incompetent I am and that's half of what causes nervousness whenever I need help.
I always feel like I'm wasting people's time and bothering them.
I don't even know how to get past that either.
It's like no matter how many times someone tells me "no, you aren't bothering me," my brain tells me "but what if you are and they're just being polite? What if they secretly hate you?"
And then off my mind goes and it gets progressively worse :D
I'm a mess.

So...
I don't wanna go too deep in to personal things but... a summary of what has happened since I stopped being active.
- Single
- Computer was broken horribly in shipping, requiring me to replace the motherboard, processor, graphics cards, and it seems the USB ports built in to the case are also broken as plugging anything in causes power overload warning messages (another $900 in debt)
- my work harddrive bricked and data recovery cost around $1200
- I got my data back and still can't actually get it ON to a new harddrive due to the aforementioned USB issue
- My depression has sent me in to a horrible downward spiral, and I've had very little motivation and drive to exist.
- I effectively have no future now, and due to my parents' decisions (that were forced on to me,) I'm around $11k in student loan debts.
- I had to deal with both Navient and Sallie Mae Bank trying to claim ownership of my debt. Thankfully, this is sorted and I now only have to pay Navient.
- I have been diagnosed with Dyshidrosis
So currently I'm in this horrible state of "what do I do now?" and my family isn't giving me much time to clear my head and think. It's disorienting to have a plan you've had in your head for five years be suddenly fucked over right at the finish line, yeah? I'm sitting here with a (useless) bachelor's in psychology, no local job availability, and no clue of what to do. If I want something that isn't minimum wage, I have to go back to school, but at this point I don't even know what I want to do in life. I'm sort of at the point where if I know what I want for lunch (let alone if I can actually afford the ingredients AND find the energy to cook,) I'm having a really good day.
I'm trying to pace myself. The dyshidrosis means if I get too stressed, I get a flare up and it gets very hard to hold a pen and draw. Depression means I have very little energy (I wake up around 6 so I can get stuff done before it gets too hot, since I have no AC, and by 3PM I'm tired enough to want to go to bed) or drive for much of.. anything.
But I DO have a lot of debt, and that needs to be paid. + living expenses, and all that bag.
I'm back with my abusive family, and that's not too much fun either, but after having yet another move-out attempt blow up in my face, I'm.. scared to try diving in to another attempt. Especially not with this much debt hanging over my head, and no steady job as of yet. So time being, I'll probably be opening commissions at some point (once I work through my current backlog.) A lot of this will be very slow. I need to figure out what my new limits are, I guess. ...and hopefully, once there's less hanging over my head, I can start planning for the future.

So!
I'm graduated. That's a big thing. Feels weird to have a degree, but here I am!
Currently staying in the UK for a few months with my fiance,
andrewm C:
If all goes well, I'll be furthering my education here in the UK, pursuing a master's degree in forensic psychology. Time being, I get to relax a bit.
Gonna try to remember to update here more often! My Weasyl will still have more frequent updates of course, and my sketch tumblr will be updated even more often, and will contain scribbles and progress shots I don't shove elsewhere.

I'm certainly more active on my sketch tumblr. Just uploaded another round of things that have been waiting for a bit. School is chewing up a lot of my time, but I'm finally in the final semester of my bachelor's! So that's pretty great. Unforeseen expenses, however, are not. I'm currently accepting cheap quick turn around commissions to try and cover some things that have popped up, and I will likely offer these again in the future!

Hey, I've not been around a lot lately, and basically, my real life is kind of a mess. My real life is one big bundle of stress between my classes, internship, other things I need to get out of the way, and my parents being generally... Well, the sooner I can get away from family, the better. Summarized, I have no real life stability at all.
Online I had this, prior. I had a sense of continuity and stability. I had somewhere I could come and hide away from the real world for a bit, and as I no longer have that, I'm running in to a situation where essentially I'm running stressed all the way out, all the time, with no way of and no where to go to relax and just decompress. Everything is winding me tighter and tighter and eventually there's going to be a full meltdown.
So I'm choosing to slink away until things are more stable. To hide. Isolating myself from people doesn't help with loneliness, but it does help distract from this visual erosion of everything I hold dear.
I just want things to be okay again, but I'm reaching a point where something has to give. Something. ...and I'm scared of what that something will be.

I moved in with my grandmother last night. I'll be staying with her for a while to take care of her house and pets while she's in the hospital, and after she's out.
I'll still be here, but the heat is killing me. I wake up feeling sick and it's murderously hard to survive in Texas in a house that has no air conditioning. The heat also makes me drowsy and I have wanted to do little more than sleep all day since moving my things.

It's the motherboard. It can't make it past the splash screen for the motherboard. I've done multiple resets hard and soft, I've tested my ram, and I've tried without the hdds plugged in. No dice. It's the motherboard.
This has me spooked because this means having to buy both a new motherboard AND processor, and I definitely can't afford that, especially not after making an almost $900 payment to my school yesterday. ;-; I think I have $500 to my name right now.
I might uh
Well, I can hold a garage sale this week maybe to get rid of some clutter, and I'll see if I can get some traditional pieces sold through eBay or something. I just need to have my moment of panic now so I can be calm later.

Today has been an adventure. Spoiler: we caught nothing.
So, we got up early today and had breakfast, then started working on getting our stuff together. Some of my gear mysteriously vanished from its bag while at my grandmother's house, so we made a list of what we needed to go in to town to get.
We headed to Walmart, bought a new tackle box, some new this and that's...I don't remember what all. Lures and bobbers and line, idk what else. We then head back to stuff things in to the new tackle box, pack us a small bag for snacks, water and the worms once we get them, and we head out to the state park where they usually sell worms.
Sold out, they tell us a guy that sells them in town. We make it there, and his icechest is empty. Worms and catfish bait are gone.
Back in to town, back to Walmart, where in retrospect we should have just gotten worms the first time. We go ahead and pick up some more drinks. We considered beer. In retrospect, damn I wish we'd gotten the beer.
To the lake! ...our pass code doesn't work. While my father is getting frustrated and redialing, I call the state park. Turns out they accidentally gave us the day pass pass code yesterday! So now we drive back to the state park where they give us the "permanent" (yearly) pass code for season passes. Back to the lake!
We get our rods, the tackle box, and our snack/worms/water bag, and head to the water. Too shallow to cast out. We decided to head up along the right of the bank along the rocks toward the pier. Water was deeper here, but now the wind was against us. We'd have broken our necks following the bank further, so we back tracked and headed up to the road leading to the dam (closed to cars, but still open to bikes and pedestrians!) and we started walking.
And walking.
And walking.
And walking.
We finally found a nice place several miles later on the opposite side of the lake to cast out and...the wind had changed directions. We decide to walk a little further down.
We hit mud. Hm. Maybe we can pass here.
My father sinks in up to his knees.
Oh, we can't.
He loses both shoes, and I have to wade in to the mud to retrieve them. We start walking around. He loses his shoes twice more, we're both covered in mud from head to toe at this point, and by the time we reach another good point to fish...the wind has changed directions AGAIN.
Well, it's now 4:15, and we've two hours until sunset, when the lake closes. We're almost all the way around the lake, so we set off to get back. At this point, the wind decides to stop completely. Oh. NOW it stops.
We recognize the ramp that leads up to the road, so after we take a break on some drift wood, I decide we should just cut through the field, because I see a deer trail up ahead through the deeper brush, and I know it leads back to the road. I break off some wood for my father to use as a walking stick, and we set off.
My father finally hits the wall and can't make it further. To explain this a bit further, he has ms, is diabetic, and is in his early 60s. He's also very out of shape. He has to call my mother to come get him. I leave the water with him and tell him I'll head up to see how far it is, and to guide my mother in.
A Klik and a half up, I find the road. Three kliks and I've run up the road and found my mother. I guide her down through the forks and to the access ramp to get back to my father. At this point my leg starts bleeding and I realize I've sliced it open on one of the low brush stumps. Oh well.
So we load my father in to the back seat, get all the equipment in, and drive him back up to his truck where he and I hop out and head home. As we're heading out, we just look at each other...sigh, and finally just...die laughing. God, what a day.
He dove straight in the shower, I took the shower after, and he just lay in bed for about an hour. We've both dosed up on ibuprofen and I realized about 30m ago that I hadn't eaten since 8 this morning. So I'm just now eating. I'm not super hungry but wow, what a day.
At LEAST 6 miles around the lake...I'd say he got his exercise in! And hell I ran that whole 3k up to my mother. I am...beat. I hurt all over, my leg and head are throbbing....but at least I'm not mud and blood soaked anymore!
OMG and my vibrams are just...solid mud caked. We had to hose them outside before they could even be thrown in the washing machine. The only thing I hooked all day was my father. That's the real kicker.
...
Yes we're going back next week.

Well, I've done a system restore. Shell successfully fixed. No odd processes or startup programs. Everything seemed OK until I tried to run a virus scan (I ended the scan prematurely because after it had only progressed to 7% in 1h30m, I wasn't waiting longer to system restore...) only to find that avast had decided it wasn't going to work.
I tried hitting fix, and telling it to reenable (couldn't update or scan due to it not being enabled,) which resulted in me getting a permission screen, aaaaand nothing happening when I hit ok. Couldn't end the process "access denied." Couldn't uninstall... (long error with a string of characters I couldn't remember.)
So at andrewm's suggestion, I downloaded Avast's uninstaller utility, rebooted in safe mode, and then rebooted to reinstall the new version of avast.
It's scanning now, and so far so good, it would seem. I'm hesitant to declare anything 'fixed' yet, (especially since I had a hard drive crash, and still am not 100% on the cause!) but for now, I seem to be in the clear.
I'm going to be watching my PC like a hawk for a while, just the same.
---
I was browsing a little while working in photoshop, when I noticed a flashing tab had popped up on the task bar. I saved my file, clicked to see what it was, and it was a program trying to install. I didn't recognize it, or the maker, so I declined.
That was when my computer was spammed with write error pop ups. I told it cancel, and I was promptly logged off, and the pc rebooted.
It was a soft, not a hard crash, but right now I'm not sure if the crash was caused BY malware, or if it happened alongside as a nasty coincidence. I'm not sure what, if anything, I've lost so far.
The shell is broken. I'm missing random shortcuts from my desktop, my shortcuts on my task bar are gone, and not only does start show my only recent programs as being Firefox and notepad (I use opera,) but all shortcuts are gone from start, as well.
Under programs, the folders show up, but empty. I've checked via the actual folders however, and everything I'd still there. I have not attempted to winch anything yet.
I'm running a full system scan now, and after I will attempt a restore.
(I'm currently using my iPad for browsing and such...)

Well, I’m home. It’s a bit bittersweet.
I missed my boys….and my parents, my grandmother…
The line at DFW for re entry was ridiculous. The queue was completely filled, and the line stretched from the end of the queue, out the room, and down the hall. It took almost two hours in line, and I would have missed my plane had almost every outgoing flight not been delayed as a result.
Oh, and the best part? The line took so long because they only had three out of five(?) desks staffed on the American side for re entry. Meanwhile the foreign side, which had a MUCH SHORTER LINE, appeared to be fully staffed. I can’t say I understand the logic there.
Well, luckily for me my flight was delayed. After getting through re entry, getting through customs, getting my bag claimed, rechecked, getting through security again, and making my way to B terminal on the other side of the airport, I would have been over an hour and a half late. (I will also note that while I was initially grateful to STAND after nine hours in an airplane, this feeling did not survive long in the queue.)
My flight was delayed to 8, (from an original boarding time of 5 something) but we were able to take off at 7… I was part of a practical mob of passengers made late by re entry time.
…then it took an extra hour for my checked luggage to arrive at the Abilene airport.
But I’m home. My parents, grandmother and I went out to eat at China Star, and I collapsed shortly after getting back in bed.
I slept buried in cats.
I missed them, a lot. I did.
…but I’m going to miss being with andrewm in person. I’m going to miss the army of 20+ ducks that would mob us at his front door wanting meal worms. I’m going to miss his dog, his cat, and his parents.
It’s good to be home…but it’s never going to get any easier to leave.

Well, I’m home. It’s a bit bittersweet.
I missed my boys….and my parents, my grandmother…
The line at DFW for re entry was ridiculous. The queue was completely filled, and the line stretched from the end of the queue, out the room, and down the hall. It took almost two hours in line, and I would have missed my plane had almost every outgoing flight not been delayed as a result.
Oh, and the best part? The line took so long because they only had three out of five(?) desks staffed on the American side for re entry. Meanwhile the foreign side, which had a MUCH SHORTER LINE, appeared to be fully staffed. I can’t say I understand the logic there.
Well, luckily for me my flight was delayed. After getting through re entry, getting through customs, getting my bag claimed, rechecked, getting through security again, and making my way to B terminal on the other side of the airport, I would have been over an hour and a half late.

In a few hours, my ass will be on a plane and Uk-bound! I'll be chilling with andrewm a few months :D
I dunno how active I'll be here during that time, since we'll likely be running about like crazed idiots or somewhat.

korusho is in a bit of a tight spot right now, and could really use a hand. If all you can do is try to spread the word--that's fine too!

Welp.
Finals are coming up, and I am swamped in end of the year type stuff, but life seems to be easing off a little. ...either that, or I'm just getting used to it. I'm really not sure which.
So this has been a journal. It exists as proof that I am indeed still breathing. I'm alive; I haven't been messily devoured by the Uni-monster or something.

Broken promises. I seem to be given a lot of those.
I don't know why I even bother TRUSTING people anymore. I should know by now that if I'm ever promised ANYTHING, it's not going to fucking happen.
You'd THINK I'd have learned by now, NOT to get involved, and ESPECIALLY not to get myself involved with anything that requires more effort than my own two hands, because the INSTANT someone else is involved, they'll just cave at the last second, and leave me to pick up the pieces of yet another failure, all by myself.
And the best part? They usually never say a WORD to my face.
Nope. I usually have to figure out second or third-hand, because they're too fucking cowardly.
And it's this way with EVERYTHING, be it school, work, general life...
You'd think I'd learn, by now...

I get school credit for people taking this survey.
It goes by IP address unfortunately, so one time taking it per household. I could REALLY use the credit, because I haven't been doing so great in this class. (There was a mix-up at the beginning of the year, and I didn't get a LOT of my assignments, because she was sending them to the wrong e-mail address.)
