Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
1. "Hmm... what do I want to listen to?"
2. "Is anybody who I want to talk to signed on? Nope, neither person is signed on. Well crap."
3. "I should probably do something today. Maybe I'll draw/write/music.... but *insert game name here* ... Ehhh... I'll draw/write/music later."

_____________________________________
(Missed a day due to various doctor's appointments, and I don't feel like putting two days together, so I'll start with day three and do four tomorrow.)
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
1. Make me smile, a real smile too, not a smirk or a faked smile, and make me laugh.
2. Do something, anything that makes me feel creative, really. Be like a muse to me who encourages me and motivates to write or draw or make music. I'm a happier person when I'm doing something artsy.
3. Psychologically stimulate me. Be a little more on the intelligent side than on the dumb side. Debate, with me, explain your reasonings. Make me reevaluate my opinions and help me change my perspective when it comes to the world. But do it honorably. Don't just go for the throat. There's no fun or love or respect in being vicious.
4. Be willing to put up with me. I know I can be quite the handful. I swing back and forth between one extreme to the other, and sometimes I need to let off steam and rant. But don't leave me when I need people most.
5. Understand that I am cat-like in my physical affection preferences. Sometimes I want you to hold me, and sometimes I might be unbearable clingy. But other times, human contact (in a physical sense) is a little odd for me. Just know to respect that bad mood if/when it comes about.
6. Keep me in line. Sometimes I need for you to point out how dumb I'm being. Sometimes I go into 'bitchmode' and don't realize it. But just tell me these things in good taste.
7. Be a nice combination of spontaneous and romantic. Romantically spontaneous. Spontaneously Romantic. Whatever floats your boat.
8. Be a friend, be someone I can talk to about anything.

Day Ten: One confession
_____________________________________
1. I think that food off of other people's plates tastes better. This is why I'm all for meals where plates are passed around and shared by everyone.
2. I can be pretty competitive. If it's something I want to win, well... I'm a crazy mofo, and there's not a lot I wouldn't do if I found it worth my while, or if it sounded fun. I like to get into "biggest balls" contests, because I know that I can win them. And I'm a girl, which makes it that much more satisfying when I do win. :3
3. My brain's natural reaction to more stress than it can handle is to say "awwwww fuck it." and this is where most of my procrastination issues come from.
4. I prefer cold weather much more than warm weather, because it gives me a reason to steal hoodies and jackets from other people, and to pass off my own to others. Apparently it's like food; someone else's jacket is always better than my own.
5. I don't like singing where other people can hear me unless it's in person, because even though I know I can sing (sort of), I'm always self-conscious about my voice. I don't like how voices sound over the phone, and I get really shy when singing into a microphone.
6. I dislike a lot of the art that I do, but the few pieces that are exceptions to this, the few that I love to death tend to be the ones that no one else likes or notices.
7. Since starting college in 2009, I've become less and less sure of what I want to do as a career, but more and more sure that I don't want to be at the school I'm at. And almost positive that I don't want to stay in the city and state that I'm in.
8. I almost always love cuddling, though I prefer it when going to sleep and waking up. But in my sleep, I have a horrible habit of cuddle-pushing people over the edge of the bed. I also steal blankets or pillows or stuffed animals. Other forms of physical affection I sometimes get weird about. It depends on my mood, really. Some days I am very touchy-feely. And some days I want nothing to do with people in a physical sense, and will snap at people who are being too clingy. And I always hate that I tend to be so bipolar about it.
9. If I were an animal, I'd probably be a cat. But not just any cat. I would be my cat Nappy, who /isn't/ very cat-like at all. But she acts so much like me, that in the ten years I've had the pleasure of having her as my own, she has proven that if she were a human, she would probably be me. Not quite sure how that mix-up came to be.

_____________________________________
Day One:
1. This is the third time you've put me in this awkward position, so I'm a little pissed. I've bitched at you enough about it the first time, and you said you'd never do that again. But you have. Three times total. And, I suppose two of those times have been with the same girl. But there were so far apart and different in nature that it counts as two separate time periods. We even discussed this and you agreed with that statement. It was dumb of me to expect this time to be different, and to expect that you would stick to your word. You think I would have learned by now.
2. You're amazing, and I'm so incredibly glad you found someone. So incredibly glad. But could you please make up your mind? I'm here as long as you want me here, I promised you that in the very beginning and I'll keep that promise. But it's really unfair of you to say one thing and act on another. To tell him that I'm still most important, but then to put him above me in every way you can. I'm not saying that I want to be most important. I don't, to be honest. It's just that you should mean what you say, and let your actions reflect that. It's unfair to keep me around, knowing that I am bound by my word to stay. I told you I would be around, as I am, for however you wanted me to be, as long as you wanted me to. And you deserve that loyalty, I wouldn't give it to you otherwise, and you know it. This promise has become just another obligation at this point, not something I do because I enjoy it. But damnit, I'm not going to go back on my word. Just because you're too indecisive to choose him instead doesn't mean you need to play this unfair game with both of us. And I very much doubt he really wants to share anyways. Please, I'm fine with you demoting me back down to where I was. I would be fine with it, prefer it even, promise. He's a better partner for you than me, anyways. I'm your brain twin, but there are fundamental things about us that don't really pair up. He can keep up with you better, and he's helping you come out of your shell, and I'm forever grateful for it. He's so good for you, and obviously a better choice. I suck at life anyways. But honestly, I'm not fond of feeling like I have to be competing with him for your affection. You know I don't mind sharing. But I know him much better than you know him, dear, and I promise you that he won't be complacent with this situation forever. This is not even a competition I'm sure I want to win anyways, I don't want to feel like I'm obligated to fight with him just so you can feel even more wanted. So would you please release me from this verbal bind, or at least cut me a little slack?
3. I'm not entirely sure how to word this. I've been trying for days without success, and I have a gut feeling that today will be no different in that regard. I feel like I fucked up somewhere, and you neither confirm nor deny. You don't really say anything, which means I probably have, and I'm sorry. And knowing my history of fucking up, it probably isn't anything fixable, or something I can just take back, is it? And I bet I know just what it was, too. My moods have been all over the charts. Indescribably happy to depressed, pissed-the-fuck-off at everything to pissed-the-fuck-off at myself, to reasoning and repressing to accepting and calm, and this dizzying mixture paired with the fact that I'm not in great health right now. Not all of those emotions in that exact order, per-say, but I've had more highs and lows than I've known what to do with. It shouldn't be surprising because it always seems to get that way when you're involved. I just wish I could know what was going on in your head about it, if anything. Because I realize and acknowledge that I am paranoid and stupid and anxious and stress about things that shouldn't worry me, and I realize that I probably have no right or actual logical reason to be thinking these things, and I realize that you might not have even given any real thought to it and have no idea why I would be as emotional as I am over nothing. Well, you know, I have an even better wish. I just wish I could follow the advice a good friend gave me today about it, because that would probably answer the first query. But I suppose I just lack the courage to follow through with it, which is funny, if you think about it. That I can do so much that you would think would bother me, without so much as batting an eye... but I cannot bring myself to pick up that phone and use it and tell you this. I stare at it and play with it occasionally and just think, I've even become so frustrated at myself for it that I've thrown that piece of shit against the wall and watched it break into pieces. But it doesn't really matter I guess. I guess that more than anything, I'm mad at myself for messing things up. I'm depressed over my horrible timing when it comes to messing things up. I'm scared because I'm going through some seriously terrifying shit and there's no one I can really tell about it now. I'm anxious and pessimistic because I need a real friend right now, and it's probably my own damned fault that you're distant. So I guess I'm trying to say I'm mad at me. ...But the least you could do is tell me if I actually have a reason to be.
4. I spoke to your picture the other day and cried. And I know that's all it is, just a picture, a useless piece of paper depicting how you were when you were alive. But it's all of you that I have left. And I felt ridiculous afterwards, that I had cried to a piece of paper. Felt stupid that for a few minutes of my life, I was hoping so much that you could hear me. I don't really believe in that kind of thing though. And I guess it makes this paragraph kind of pointless too, but it doesn't specify that the person ever has to read it.
5. Please stop being stupid. It's frustrating that you could be so smart, so incredibly intelligent, but so dumb. You waste your money on spontaneous and stupid things, run out of the little bit of money you had, and come running to me, a broke college kid, and ask me for money. I don't even have enough to provide for myself, and you want me to carry you too? You knew before you went and blew your money that you needed to pay bills and to pay for an abortion. And god, don't get me started on that. I could go on for ages about how doing what you did to result in that kid was retarded. And I hate how you're using abortion as a method of birth control. You could have used a fucking condom. You keep them right next to where y'all fucked, and you knew you were on the wrong part of your cycle to be fucking like rabbits without condoms.
6. You're neat, and I hope you decide to stick around. Sorry that you popped into my life at such an awkward time.
7. I wish you would actually put some effort into trying to see where I'm coming from. I grant you that much respect, so why can you not grant it back?
8. Thank you for being such an awesome friend. I wish we would see each other more often. Especially because you actually give good advice, and I need someone like you to keep me in line sometimes.
9. I know college is a fun and exciting time, but I see you changing into what you said you'd never become, and I hope you realize that I don't mean to attack you when I point this out.
10. There's no need to be scared, and no need to stress. Nothing has been confirmed yet. And if it turns out that her suspicion was right... well, worry about it then. No point in scaring yourself shitless because of a 'what if'.

Posted 15 years agoTaking requests. Also, 'Blorp'.
Posted 15 years agoLemme cover requests first:
So I know I've done this before. And never really gotten around to it. But lets try this again. If you have something you want me to draw, comment this and let me know what. I'm not even going to bother with slots this time. If I like the idea/am inspired to draw it for you, I will.
Things you should know before asking for a request!
*I have every right to deny a request if it 'bothers' me. However...
*There aren't very many limitations on what I'll draw. If you cross a line that I won't go past, I'll let you know.
*I have every right to take a while with your picture. It's free. Absolutely free. So please don't complain.
*I'll be fine with taking critique. That doesn't mean that I'll fix everything you point out, but I'll know for next time.
*Chances are, I'll draw it in a digital format. It's easier for me to keep up with. And since I internet a lot, it's just a few clicks away if I want to work on it. Also, it may or may not be colored. It kinda depends.
*If you like what you get, please consider kicking the tip jar. :3
lyricalrequiem[at]gmail.com
*I will edit this and/or post a new journal when I'm no longer taking requests.

ALRIGHTY KIDS! NOW THAT THAT'S SETTLED!
(To quote my fav author when he blogs about himself-)
"Warning, this journal contains me."
I'm awake. And it's not just insomnia this time, guys!
It's 3:30 in the morning, I'm in an unfamiliar place with annoying sounds and weird people walking in and out of the room every hour.
Hospitals are never really all that fun. Promise.
Mum had surgery yesterday morning, and I've got the overnight 'shift' with her. (She is, by the way, doing fine. This was a surgery she opted to do, which will help with weight and diabetes management.)
The hospital stay is neat, because there is wifi, and it's given me ample drawing and other time. I mean, hey, I even organized my DA gallery! And started more pictures that I posted earlier today!
But is also teh sucks because every time I try and power-nap, I get THIS CLOSE *pinches fingers together* before one of the machines goes off or a nurse walks in or mum needs me to help. Also, the cafeteria isn't open in the late hours of the night/wee hours of the morning... and the vending machines are crap.
Oh, and it smells like hospital. And I'm sure that /I/ smell like hospital.
Anyways! Just a quick vent. Really, it's given me a chance to be pretty productive art-wise, so I shouldn't complain toooo much.
So I know I've done this before. And never really gotten around to it. But lets try this again. If you have something you want me to draw, comment this and let me know what. I'm not even going to bother with slots this time. If I like the idea/am inspired to draw it for you, I will.
Things you should know before asking for a request!
*I have every right to deny a request if it 'bothers' me. However...
*There aren't very many limitations on what I'll draw. If you cross a line that I won't go past, I'll let you know.
*I have every right to take a while with your picture. It's free. Absolutely free. So please don't complain.
*I'll be fine with taking critique. That doesn't mean that I'll fix everything you point out, but I'll know for next time.
*Chances are, I'll draw it in a digital format. It's easier for me to keep up with. And since I internet a lot, it's just a few clicks away if I want to work on it. Also, it may or may not be colored. It kinda depends.
*If you like what you get, please consider kicking the tip jar. :3
lyricalrequiem[at]gmail.com
*I will edit this and/or post a new journal when I'm no longer taking requests.

I'm awake. And it's not just insomnia this time, guys!
It's 3:30 in the morning, I'm in an unfamiliar place with annoying sounds and weird people walking in and out of the room every hour.
Hospitals are never really all that fun. Promise.

Posted 15 years agoAhaha, yeah. "Being busy" doesn't even begin to describe it.
I'd apologise for the significant lack of art, but if you're watching me, it should be something you expect of me by now. I can't even lie and say I've been working on things, as I have not. At least not in the past month.
The amazing Em had given me a tablet for my birthday... and my not-so-amazing mother decided that my stylus was /actually a pen/ and when it wouldn't write, pressed down hard enough to break it to "get the ink to work" then threw it across the room when it wouldn't work.
It is no longer pressure sensitive, and I had already used the spare stylus-tip that was included.
Dear mum did something way out of character though, and said she'd pay for a new tablet for me, since you can't just buy replacement pens for the one I had. We even made a deal, where if I went to get a more expensive tablet than what I had, she would pay up to a certain point before I had to cover some for it.
So I actually have a Wacom MTE 450 Bamboo on it's way right now. Also, I got it at a good price, about two days before the distributer decided they were going so fast that he could up the price. *Is glad it was ordered when it was* Thank you Ebay.
Now, don't let mother's generosity fool you. We are, by no means getting along in any semblance of the word. But that's a long and constantly-changing story that I absolutely do not feel like going into right now.
I've gotten a job, I am still working an old job (just with more flexible hours) and have already said yes to a third provided the hours don't conflict too much (It's overnight and very spaced out, so it should work). I'm saving up for a car. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, and actually, I would prefer something used. It's cheaper that way.
Once I have a car I can call my own, well, I have a few options as to where I can go, but I /need/ to move out. And the only thing that keeps me here right now, is the lack of transportation from the eventual new place to the jobs I'm working.
(Really, I'm hinting that if you live in SC and stumble onto a good deal for a used car, you should link me, and you'll have my eternal gratitude.)
So the tablet is in the mail, I have a few rough sketches I'll work into a digital medium, and I'm busy as hell with two jobs and a possible third on the way.
Hopefully I'll have more updates for you soon-ish (art-wise). But we'll see.

Wishful promises of art soon to come~

Hey guys. I haven't died.
Hell, I've even been sketching a lot in my free time.
But sketching differs from drawing, in that I don't like to show off my craptastic sketches often, and I like for them to look a little more finished.
I'll scan some stuff soon though, whether or not it's done as well as I'd like.
As for the link to my formspring.... this shit is addicting. Ask me anything, and I'll answer, as awful, weird, random, insane or incriminating as it may be.
Anything.

Taking Requests
Posted 15 years agoAlright. So I'm having a bit of an art block at the moment. So, in an attempt to try and overcome it, I'm going to open up 5 request slots here, and 5 request slots on My DA. ( http://www.delirious-kitten.deviantart.com )
I'll draw anything, pretty much no limitations.
((I can promise you that the more original your idea, the better it will turn out.))
If I like your idea enough, I will even color it. (Colored pencils. I haven't had time to install Photoshop.)
Tips are appreciated, I'm a broke college kid.
But they're not needed, so don't feel obligated.
(Though, I do appreciate gift-art, if you find I did a good enough job)
Anyways, at this point in time, all slots are open. First five people to comment get whatever they want.
