So, I'm typing on a bad keyboard with a messed up spacebar, so this'll be quick.

Dumping Domino's as a driver, last day is the 22nd, so I won't be working over Christmas. I will be starting a new job next semester teaching afterschool classes, pending the HR lady actually responding to my questions regarding paperwork.

Crashed my car in November, encouraging me further to get out of Domino's; car was totaled, but I picked up another car within a month, so that was good. Not hurt or anything.

Aaaaand been having a good time with my ABDL/Little friends when I can find time.

Will update when I get my better wireless keyboard tomorrow. Still alive!

Tfw you see a big rush of awesome ych's and commissions from artists you like, but y'all gotta be a big boy and act responsable with your money cause you don't have a lot of it right now and you don't know if something big will come up that'll require some of that sweet, sweet cash:

Still working at Domino's, btw. Schedule is borked because of school and I probably won't be working much next month because I'll be behind the scenes of our schools show of Little Shop of Horrors.

Also all my bills are paid off, thus why I'm not as loaded(/s) as before. And of course there's onesies and diapers and other non-essential stuff that I want but fuckall, it's time to be responsible.

At least until my birthday later this month. Then I'll just fuck things up right to hell.

So I might not be on here as much. I'm still commissioning people when deals come through, but for the most part I'm laying low.

Also will have a redraw commission from  brevity coming in sometime whenever. SO EXCITE about that.

Other than that, looking to make this a good school semester. Theatre prof talked to me about having me be an assistant set designer for next semester's shows, and I'll be doing A/V work on Tuesdays. Busy busy.

So, this is interesting. I've not really been too active on FA in the past year, but I've been active... uh, elsewhere (cough... cough... fetlife cough...)

So, that's where I've been. Big surprise that the furry would be into that stuff. But really, it was a long time coming. I've had a fixation on ABDL, littlespace, and the like for a bit now. It's no real surprise to me that eventually it would lead me to a form of social media designed for kinky fuckers to interact with other kinky fuckers. As brash as that might sound, I've actually made some good friends that I talk to through Kik, actually was dating someone for around seven months (someone from the site. Unfortunately, personal issues cropped up that required that we cut the relationship. I've been coping as best as I can. I really haven't dated at all in my life, so a seven month thing is really significant to me.), and have been networking out with other ABDL's and various kinky people slowly when I can. Fun stuff. I love it. I'm actually going to be going to a play party at a dungeon on the 20th and I'm pumped because there's going to be a panel on hypnosis and I soooooo want to be a participant in that. (Please note, yeah, it's called a "dungeon", but it's really not scary or anything. I was a little scared when I went a few months back, but it's really chill as fuck.)

Other then that, I've been working for the last two months at a Domino's Pizza near me. I've been fairly stable money wise since then. Bills are in check, and I can (theoretically) pay off both my car and laptop right now if I wanted to with the earnings I've made as a driver. So I'm really happy about that #thousandairelife I'm also working with a local theatre as an assistant set designer as well. I've been collecting tons of old newspapers and magazines for the set we're doing and the backseat of my car is completely flooded with newspaper and magazines right now. It's crazy. Still going to school, starting back up next month. Wanted to audition for our shows next semester, but I probably won't now, just to see if I can get placed in a bit of a technical position for one of the shows. My schedule is pretty tight though. Not bad at all, one class for at noon for an hour on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

And the most recent thing, I actually have a character of my own now! I bought  TailBiter character Dill a while back and I got the art of him just recently, so I'm going to put that up ASAP, ref sheet and all. I'll make a character page up sometime too, write a short personality bio for him, though personally what was up for him before resonated with me at a personal level, so I'll try to keep him the same.

And that's me. Thank you for reading. :P

And I likely only favorite maybe a fraction of the work on avarage. I like everyone I guess.

Also realizing that despite lots of streams, I've very scarcely watched any of them. Should try to make more, get to talking to some of the artists.

Also college semester is half over. Only about a month left, then its summer break. Be off on a job again this year, working at a camp. Should be fun.

Love ya'll.

First, activity on here is going to (likely) be sparatic. For journals at least.

Second, Disney knocked it out with Zootopia. They hit all the right buttons with this; great voice acting, great animation, good story, good lessons and morals, and goddamn adorable animals.

Never left a movie asking myself questions about my own misconceptions of others, but damn, Disney really hit this one off. This movie is great for everyone, all demographics.

Definitely gonna be a must buy for me later in the year. Take my moneys, Disney!

 razzek is a cool dude, watch her if you haven't.

You might even learn new words, like "cathartic". Knowledge is power!

Started a list of stuff to do. Pretty doable stuff, so I should make some progress on getting off my ass.

I'm going to start adding misc. stuff to my journals now; what I'm listening to, reading, eating, drinking, playing, etc.

Listening: Owl City - Fireflies. Always thought that song had a nice ring. Needed to listen to it more.

Reading: The Pillowman - Martin McDonagh. Dystopian future, totalitarian government. Our protagonist is dragged into a police interrogation room for questioning about his stories, which have different endings, such as children dying in gruesome ways (along with the parent's), criminals locked in cages, unaware of what the crime is they've committed, etc. The state is to believe that these stories connect our protagonist to a murder of a child, who had his toes chopped off (Which also happened to have happened in one of our protagonists stories.). As far as I've read currently, our protagonist is in the process of being brutally interrogated on his role (if any) in this murder.

Do NOT read if you're opposed to the usage of the word fuck. It is thrown around alot. Also, the protagonists brother (who is being used as leverage on behalf of the state, to make the protagonist confess to his "crime") is mentally handicapped. The police in this book have used the word "retarded", "retard", etc. to describe the brother and other like him. Needless to say, if you are sensitive about either, avoid this. I think that the part of what I read now was good.

A part of one of the ending monologues in the play is "We like executing writers. Dimwits we can execute any day. And we do. But you execute a writer, it sends out a signal, y'know?"

Playing: Dragon Age Inquisition - I can't decide who to romance in my playthrough. I'm stuck between Iron Bull, Dorian, and Cassandra. Dammit. Looks like I'll need at least three playthroughs.

Eating/Drinking: Pumpkin Muffins - Not right this minute, but my dad has made some really nice muffins with nuts and raisins. Creme cheese frosting. Ugh. .-. Yes.

I finally start REAL college soon. Picked up a cal grant to cover most of my remaining expense. Happy about that. Going to be starting a theater degree, start to pinpoint my focus on a specific area.

Wanting to get more healthy. Looked over my final results on My Fitness Pal and damn. I need to be more responsible. I went way over my limit for fat. And honestly, I don't know if it's the California heat or the food I ate thats making me feel so blisteringly warm.

I need to start an exercise program, again. I start up, and then I stop. I need to find something that works with me, and just do it. It might help that my college has it's own LA Fitness/Gym of sort for the students. I mean, it's literally a full three story (If you count stuff on the roof) gym. It's hella impressive.

Been playing Dragon Age Inquisition recently. Love the game. Music, theme, (most) characters, etc. Love it. It is distracting though. I need to read up a bit more. I have a book called "The Theater Experience" right next to me on my desk, and I know I haven't read it enough. Same goes for the plays I've bought. They all are just sitting on my headboard. I need to get to those. I might even sell some of my unwanted Xbox 360 games in the future. Too much to play, not enough time. Honestly, some of the games I have, I could do without; There are a few that I rarely play, some I don't like as much as I thought.

My goals for the future are:

At least one chapter (or more) of any book I have before ANY videogames.

Start a workout routine that works for me. (Any suggestions welcome. I am pretty weak and limp, tbh.)

Keep up with school. (Might require a little sacrifice of the first two.)

Try to keep relations up with friends.

Get a part time job (Old job ended.)


On other new's, I need to cut FA time as well. I spend far too much time looking a boob's and... doing "things" and not enough time doing what needs to be done. (I'm exaggerating a bit. But I do need to focus on what's important. Or just get out of the house at least.)

Chao.

I actually saw my first IMVU ad on this site.

If thats (as far as I know.) the extent of what they're gonna do here....

Well, thats just okay. (Just keep it that way.)

RIP you glorious bastards... Rest in peace.

I know I have some possible blood pressure issues, and I ran out of my low dose medication two days ago. Just got my refill, and before I did, I've felt kinda crappy without it. My dad thinks the five milligram dose might not be enough. Getting in for my rescheduled follow up soon. I had my kidneys and bladder scanned, so I hope there's nothing wrong with them.

Eh.

Now all the event pokemon are mine. MINE, MIIIINNNNNNEEEEE!

WHAHAHAHA.

(Also a cute, little Shaymin. yay.)

So, back to class again, kind of. The math class I took in winter semester came back with a C grade, so I'm happy I pulled through on that.

Started my career guidance/life discovery online course last week. It's pretty easy, but it's a little bit of a soul searching sort of class. At least that's what I'm assuming so far. The teacher seems to like me based off my responses to the material and my work, so that's good. Even got me some extra credit on an assignment too. I'm now slightly above the curve (maybe.)

So, there's that. My old school is having a dinner theater tonight and next week, and being the guy who effectively blended in (I think) with the theater group, I'm invited. The old place has it's problems, but they're improving. Still maintaining some connection to my old high school, most notably it's theater. Really helped me through school back then.

Getting real close to finishing a practice drawing of  mifmaf 's Amy, finally. Been distracted lately.

Thats about it. What about any of you guys? Whats up with you?

Finished first semester of school. Possible regret in the future, took class I'm not great at in a six week span.

Not exactly looking forward to that grade. Doesn't hurt that I had to drop a lot of classes for the next semester because the schools financial aid wasn't that helpful, and I couldn't get the loan needed to cover the cost of all my classes. So I'm down to one class that's supposed to help me better understand myself and find a career path.

Oh well, that's that, I suppose.

Been meaning to get back to the practice. Was doing a practice off of one of  mifmaf 's references for his character, Amy.

Might restart it, depending on how it looked the last time I was sketching it.

Been unable to get back to sketching practice because of school. The transition has been pretty good so far, but it's a lot of work, 9 units packed into six weeks.

My work for the weekend should be completely done by tomorrow, so I'll try to practicing again. If I get alot of stuff sketched, I might scan some stuff up too, prior to the FA outage.

Woo college! (It all right.)

Well, I'm stuffed full of In And Out, Double Double Animal Style, Animal Style fries, and a Diet Coke (Gotta stay slim and trim.), and I'm freezing. This particularly cold California winter is the coldest I can think I've been through.

If I'm not throwing up cheeseburgers after midnight and the cold hasn't made me completely numb when I wake tomorrow, I'll sneak in more practice. Should have some stuff in as late as next week (starting college, so that takes priority.)

Have a safe and happy new year, everybody!

See you next year FA.

I've been listed as 16 for a while. Gross.

16 was a weird time for me. Glad I got it changed.

Probably will update it with PSN, XBL, 3DS friend codes and some other stuff later. Never can have enough people to play with! :)

Once I get artists permission (The practice sketches are of other artists characters, doing them for practice purposes...), I'll put up some sketches.

I'm actually not displeased with my first sketch done off of sight alone (copied right to the paper as best as I could.) I thought it came out kinda well for a first time.

...And trying drawing again. I know looking good (art-wise) doesn't come overnight, but I really feel like I should go at it again. I still have some old drawing for beginners books somewhere too (Mythical Creatures for Beginners, Drawing LoZ, etc.)

Maybe I'll even get around to trying to make a persona one day.

The menu music is absolutely fantastic... Theres a couple of 3ds themes with the theme running in the background, and I think one of them has my name on it.

Gotta get Smash 3ds for christmas, WiiU version later if a steadyish job comes up.
