Dasha isn't dead update. (long journal, roller coastery)
Posted 12 years agoHi folks.
So. I guess it's been a while since I posted a journal with more than a "Hey help these guys out" type thing.
The first thing I want to do is apologize. I know that while I've been dealing with my own hurt and problems, I have neglected the people around me when it would have been a helluva lot smarter to just get on the phone or computer or whatevs and say "hey, I really can't handle anything right now". And I'm sorry. Truly, deeply, I'm going to understand if I have fucked up beyond a basic "sorry-fix-it". I will need to work my ass off to regain trust, if it can be regained. Specific people will be getting phone calls very soon. A couple of you, I am sure you know who you are.
Because I'm me...I'm gonna go ahead and lay it all out there on the table. The folks that are going to judge, knock yourselves out. You can't do any worse to me than I've done to myself.
So, if you're a new watcher (Where the poop did y'all come from???), you probably are unaware that I lost my job in January, and as such, have been relying on the rent I received from
Liedt (who's a helluva roommate, and a person that I have so much respect for it's silly), funds from quilting projects, and funds from my grandmother to keep from losing my home and paying my bills.
Between January 9th and May 8th, I filled out 323 job applications/sent my resume to places that were hiring locally. By locally, I mean within a 40 mile radius of Peoria IL. I applied for EVERYTHING I thought I might be qualified or over qualified for. I did not file for unemployment, because I have too much pride, like a jackass. I should have. I had 14 job interviews, and 5 2nd interviews. I even had one job promise me that I'd start Monday and then they disappeared.
That takes a toll on your soul. I know there's a lot of folks out there, not just furries that are job hunting and are facing homelessness. At this point, I have no need or want for pity, I just want folks to understand.
Depression is something I've fought with for years, but have never taken the jump for medical help because I know that will limit jobs I want to have in the future if it's on my record, god forbid I try to get my own health insurance with that looming over me.
I am not proud, I am ashamed but am using this as a tool to keep myself from ever falling this far again. I admit that in the past month, I have more than once thought about ending it. Looked things up, started setting up a Last Will & Testament, the works. Had people that had agreed to take Grace & Quigley if "something happened to me".
And then, I hit my absolute rock bottom. I found out I was pregnant...but it was a moot point. Physical and emotional duress led to me being not pregnant real quick. I'm going to grieve over this for a long time. It's not the first time I've lost one...pretty sure I can't carry to term at this point, but let's face it, I'd be a shitty mom. I'm insecure and needy and selfish and want a million things out of life that I wouldn't be able to pursue if I was to bring a child into the world. I -refuse- to be like my aunt or my cousin, who have abandoned their children because they had better things to do. I still love babies, and to my friends that -are- pregnant, I am so happy for you. I wish you all of the wonder and magic and happiness that comes with being a parent. Please, don't even try to shield your happiness about it from me because that'll just make it more awkward and painful. Life is going to go on. ((That happened last time...I may be hurting, but I can still smile and be happy))
Then... one afternoon, just a little over a week ago, my mother called me. We have not had a smooth relationship since her sister passed away, and she tends to passive aggressively take her frustration at everyone out on me. I still bend over backwards to do things for her and help out with her store (Nonnie's Attic Fabric Shop) because I figure one day it'll be mine, and ummm. Yeah, she's family.
"Do you like fabric?" Mom don't ask me stupid questions. I don't feel good. "That's not an answer." *sigh* Yes. I love fabric, as evidenced by the room full and 2 sewing machines. "Do you like people?" HA. Um. Oh. Most days of the week. "Do you like to travel?" ...I about stopped breathing. I knew that those were the requisites for being a traveling sales rep for any of the textile companies that come through the shop to peddle beautiful fabrics for craft, quilts, and clothing. "Blank needs a new rep since Stacey just transferred to Checkers."
She gave me the phone number for the poor New Yorker that was touring the midwest looking for a rep for IL/IN as well as a rep for IA. I called him immediately and left a message. What the hell, it couldn't hurt to try. He called me back and we set up a meeting. The meeting came and went, at Mom's shop...I barely got a word in edgewise since Mom KEPT TALKING over me. I figured I'd never hear back from him. 3 days later, he would be back in Pekin/Peoria, and we'd talk again, he said. He -DID- call back. The only other candidate he found was 87 and owns a shop already. Me, at 24, with no children, not married, with a very creative mind, quilting experience, and an eye for color and design, became the perfect candidate. I had the job.
I nailed the job. Holy FUCK what? A job where I'm given expensive fabric before it hits store shelves, let alone SHIPS from the warehouses?! A job where I can travel, set my own hours, go to as many cons as I can afford, and make 5x as much $$$ as I've EVER made? I think I may just die from the excitement.
So...Northern/central Indiana furs, Northern IL furs, Northeastern MO furs, and Southwestern MI furs...anybody mind if I crash on some couches every once in a while? Be hella cheaper than hotels lol.
I will still need a roommate as I only get one paycheck per month. Opting to turn the smaller bedroom into my home office/sewing room because I officially need one now, but the basement efficiency is still up for grabs. If you know anyone interested, I have pictures that I can text and a full description of the space since Liedt was amazing and fixed it all up and put in a bath tub.
So there you have it. Dasha's not dead. Dasha is now busier than bucky the beaver and still recovering from problems. And by DOG I am going to overcome my issues and make it up to the people I have let down.
Thank you to the friends that have been there or offered to be there even though I'm a stubborn little shit who doesn't like to open up. You're all wonderful, and I love you.
TL;DR: Lol if you didn't read, you don't need to know. I'm still breathing.

For those of you who plan on just coming back to the link later to read the article, the Andalusian horses in Spain are facing slaughter because of the economic downturn. It's looking like there are breeders desperate to save their animals' lives. Does anyone on either side of the Atlantic have any ideas for what we can do to save some of them? I'm painfully aware of the cost of owning a horse, otherwise I'd have one by now. My parents live in the country and have enough acreage that I could have had one growing up.

Lol well...i'm really a paid writer...*Facepalm*
Posted 12 years agoSitting here writing my brother's papers (8 of them for the rest of his senior semester of college) for his business ethics class in exchange for some cash and car maintenance.
Just let the irony sink in there for a second.
Yeah. Business ethics.
But it's that teacher's only class, and he doesn't even make them follow any formatting rules. 5-6 sentences (SENTENCES, NOT PARAGRAPHS WTF) per paper.
So far I have one on the Puerto Rican medical crisis, one on the American mink farming boom, one about Carnival cruise, and one about the 24 IRS employees busted for stealing thousands of dollars of federal aid while they were making half a mil a year. Anybody have any good articles that would be good ethics topics? Lol.

Emergeny Quilt-missions
Posted 12 years agoQuilt Commissions never closed, but I just received a notice that for some reason, my adoption payment check did not clear and that Gracie remains property of GABR. I need $200 asap, and I cannot ask my family for that money, they've helped with everything else.
So wall hangings, table runners, etc etc are the fastest and the cheapest, but full size quilts are also available as well (not to mention things already in my
Cuddle_Puppy_Quilts gallery that I can ship out asap).
Even if you cannot afford to order something right now, I would greatly appreciate a little signal boost.
Thanks,
Dasha

Bummed I won't be at FCN
Posted 12 years agoI'll admit I'm moping pretty hard about this. But lack of a job makes for a shrunken con schedule. As of this moment, the only con I'm seriously planning for is IFC.
Anybody wanna chit chat? I'm dinkin around writing today.

Posted 12 years agoI have a friend that feels like he has no one he can talk to about his gender or sexual identity confusion. And he is confused, and it upsets him. While I'm happy to be an ear, I'm not trans by any stretch of the imagination, and I don't know how to help him. He's not really a furry, although I've pointed out repeatedly that he could meet lots of trans people who have gone through the same things as he has, but I don't think he gets it.
Any tips for how to help a pal out? I adore him, but I don't want to cause him more stress by giving him shit advice.

Karma-run <3
Posted 12 years agoAs usual, was cruising the CraigsList pets section like I do with my (soontobesisterinlaw) brother's girl, and found a Basset Hound, free to good home. Mental brakes were screeched and I immediately emailed the current owner and my contact with Guardian Angel Basset Rescue. I'll be picking up Daisy Mae first thing in the morning, and then turning her over to the awesome lady who was Quigley & Gracie's foster mom. Blu looked at her pictures and melted. She's a lemon (yellow & white) Basset with a pink nose. I've never been partial to that coloring before, but she's got the cutest dappling on her hind quarters that looks like a butterfly.
I -so- cannot afford a 3rd dog. Lol.
But yeah, doing my good deed and making sure that she gets matched with the perfect family.

Thanks MommaNature... But I'm still goin!
Posted 12 years agoSo gang, I have 2 job interviews today. The first is in an hour and a half, and I'm prepping myself to brave the frikkin SNOW that smacked the midwest for the past 30 hours.
First one is for what I'm understanding to be a senior citizen babysitting service, helping them get their bills paid, run errands, take them to the doctor, etc. Barely pays above minimum wage, so I'm kinda washy on it but a paycheck is a paycheck, right?
Second one is what I'm REALLY hoping to nail. National digital media company that I won't name right here is looking to start up an LGBTQ digital magazine & podcast here in central IL as a test run. (If it plays in Peoria, it'll play anywhere) If it goes national, it will cover events and such in Chicago, NYC, Orlando, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Dallas. Oh yeah, it's part time work as an editor...with a starting pay of 30k a year! PART TIME. The guy in charge of getting it set up called me 2 hours after I submitted my resume, and while it's great I'm a writer, they only had 2 editors respond. I have experience, they're willing to teach me the new programs. Looks win win to me.
Guys...I want that editor position. It'll give me lots of time to write still, quilt still, and potentially work from home (lol Peoria office hasn't even been set up yet, but they want to set up down in Campus Town near Bradley U) or only be away from the puppies for a little bit. If I get this (& I believe i will) I'll probably turn to some of my furry pals for ideas because the podcast is supposed to be raunchy comedy.
So Yizzah! :)

What is this? Mo...moti...MOTIVATION?! (ho shiz, gang!)
Posted 12 years agoCreating (text) character sketches, world plans, storylines!!
Getting a more coherent order form set for Cuddle_Puppy_Quilts !
Being finally willing to open ((*insert jazz hands here*)) Story commissions, porns welcome! Prices negotiable and willing to trade for character reference sheets.
Planning for IFC!
Planning a partial fur suit for use in dancing....? *gasp* Holy balls. I need to get back in shape. Gonna definitely need a new brace for my ankle and I'd really like another pair of split soles n then maybe some dance heels. Gonna have to price check them bad boys.
FIJI! To the time machine!
Oh yes, I'm home from FWA. Had a Friggin BLAST Y'all! (be forewarned, with my being specifically careful about being politically correct over on the CPQ account, I'll have my moments here, ie y'all)
Salmagundi & 
Tak are pimps, don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Sal pumped out 23 commissions friday-sunday and still had time to suit saturday night!
Had dinner with the rockstars of
RingtailCafe , 
rabbitvalley , and 
furplanet (sadly didn't get to talk to the FurPlanet gents much, but have decided I want to be adopted by the Rabbitts.) Tak made me laugh so hard on the drive home that I passed out from oxygen deprivation. Ahh the subtlety of bear-fucking. Dammit Tak I'm snorting again!!!
I have 3 big writing projects that I need to sit and plan a timetable for because I want them FINISHED and potentially published. They make me smile and I think some of you would enjoy them as well.
Going down to Pekin today to help cut kits for my mom's quilt show in Decatur this weekend, and hopefully cut fabric for a couple of the new commissions I've got coming my way :) & the trades to end all trades with
Fijimonster & Salmagundi.
PS if anyone can link me to the sweetest little EMT I've ever met, I'd love that. The Fray, Fray, not sure....but based out of New Jersey, canine (think he's a husky), cute dude in general. I derped and didn't get his FA name.

Clearance adopts by Fijimonster $1 a piece!!!
Posted 12 years agohttps://www.furaffinity.net/view/10075246/ <--- Seriously, guuuuuu. 4 awesome pony adopts (one severely spooky Halloween themed one, a sassy looking demon/dragon pone, super cute leggy unicorn, and a pegasus who looks to me like a bit Bird of Paradice) and 2 canine foxy things? But for $1 each, who doesn't want one? She did the lines and the coloring for both, so this isn't a resale game, she's just relisting them <3
Holy balls FWA
Posted 12 years agoKeeps getting closer, and I'm totally not started packing yet. XD
Can't WAIT, 6 more days till I leave for RingtailCafe 's secret headquarters, and oh god, have to make sure that I bring all 2 of my pre-ordered quilts, and worrying that Olmec's badge got delivered or not hnnngh, d00d did I even remember to message him that I had?
But in other news, have new puppy. Still job hunting, but Quig is now off my ass and done being lonely, now just swings from "omg playmate sister" to "ffffff why is there another baby in the house". Gracie Leigh Belle-Flopsy is the sweetest, most easy going puppy I have ever met. She's a Bassedor (Lab Basset hurrr) and just makes me want to puke rainbows she's so awesome. Pictures will be uploaded of course.
Ahhhhhh FWA! My first time at that con, and my first con without
BluDrakecon so mild sadface there, gonna miss my dragon-butt. But YEAH goin to a con! Workin for Ringtail!
Dasha needs to go the eff to sleep or something. nur nur nur.
