Hey everyone (if anyone even pays attention), just wanted to let you know what was up with me since I posted a journal last year and have needed something new since it sounded really depressing with rainy mood and sad music. I turned 22 recently, I actually turned out to like drinking a little bit, nothing too huge just stuff like Mudslides and some Vanilla Coke with a bit of Fireball whiskey, just little things like that.

As far as my writing goes I've still been in a slump but I do have a few ideas in mind that I may try to buckle down and do soon but don't expect anything as writer's block is a mysterious beast that can strike at any point in time. Super fun times with that! While my writing has suffered from its block there is something else I've been doing.

Recently I've started streaming games, starting sometime last year or the year before I believe. I was playing the MOTHER series in full (took a hiatus during the first game) and just finished it recently. I'm still waiting for the fan made MOTHER 4 to release but I will be streaming other games in the meantime. I wondered if this was something I wanted to do and I figured why not since I'm not doing anything else with my Thursdays and Saturdays.

The next game series I'll be playing until MOTHER 4 comes out, in which I'll stop playing the series I'm on so I can jump back on that, is going to be Legacy of Kain. It's a bit of a long series (I play in two hour increments and there are four games I believe I have to go through) so it'll take a long time to get through but I'm hoping it'll be fun. If you want to watch me get started this Thursday, here's a link to my Twitch:

Hello my friends, I just wanted to let you know the reason I haven't been writing as of late and the situation with that as of right now. My laptop had slowly been descending into broken mode and with the way it started to lag it killed my muse to try and write anything. Eventually I became afraid to turn my laptop off in fear it wouldn't turn on again, and just a few days ago I was right, as the hard drive finally crashed.

However I was all set months in advance. Figuring I would have to factory restart earlier, I moved all important data, stories included, to a hard drive. I didn't get to restart, but that data was safe away. My mom is letting me use her laptop for right now, and in the future I will be trying to build a desktop for myself.

Also, I'm interested in a game called Bravely Default that was released recently, and if you want my friend code feel free to note me. I have no idea when I'll get it, but I know it will be after I get my new computer, if not a bit later. Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and I hope I will be back to writing sometime soon.

One more year to not drink anything alcoholic. Or might if it's just me and my mom and trying new things and not a group of family members trying to shove beer down my throat and turning into some drunken idiot.

Birthday was fun, had a BBQ, ate some cookie cake, got some money and got to laugh with my family and friends. Mostly family, I'm not that social. Cookie cake is delicious. Got to hear possible plans for the next few months, which is gonna be awesome.

Hey guys, I'm playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf and would really like to visit some towns. I switched from the Gamecube version I was playing to the 3DS because I figured I could visit other places and not be stuck in one town, but I've kinda just been stuck in the same position. But the difference is that now, with help, I'll have a chance to go visit other places if people play. So if you play, Note me or something to let me know your friend code so we can visit!

Enjoy your reading those of you who were unable to download my stories, you now have the chance to read them all in the artist comment area! Got them all done over the weekend, so they are all up and will be formatted that way in future stories as well. Happy reading!

If you are among the readers of my stories, I will be doing you all a personal favor soon. I'll be going through all my stories and placing them out so they can easily be read by everyone from the artist comments, I'll be doing the formatting in a different document to copy and paste so all the coding is in for your enjoyment when posted online.

Needed a new journal and figured this would work.

If any of you have this game, send me a note so I can add you as a friend on it. More tapping, MORE TAPPING! XD

Well gang, it's that time of year again. We change over to a new year, a new chapter. A lot of good things have happened this year, but so have a lot of bad things. Look forward to each day and enjoy every one. Enjoy your time with everyone you love, enjoy what you do whether it be art, writing, going out to places, whatever you like to do. We haven't died yet like so many were trying to 'predict' this December, so now we can live our days as normal, as happily as we can make it.

So now my friends, family, anyone and everyone, the people I love: Let's go onward into 2013, onward to our next great adventures together.

So our day started pretty crappy. We were getting the stuff ready, talking about how everyone was at work, my cousin is in the hospital, and there was only a few of us to hold the Halloween fort down, including my brother's friends. It was the best Halloween EVER!

Basically what we did was took a blast to the past, bringing back our first Halloween scene and reduxed it, a bike accident. Where last time we just used bags of mulch and figurines and such as the head and limbs, this time we had actual limbs for the dead body to have poked out, my bro's ex pretended to be dead under his truck, our long lost cousin scared people by them not thinking she was real, and his friend Jeff cared them by standing still as a statue and jumping at them. We nearly ran out of candy before the crowds stopped.

So despite what we thought would be a depressing Halloween, it turned out to be one of our better years even if it was just thrown together.

Okay so because I am bored here at home and stuff I am taking questions to answer from both dA and here on FA. Ask me some G-rated questions (I know you guys ;3) and I will happily answer them in a video. I will be accepting questions until Friday.

Ask away!

It just hasn't been a good week. My mom had to go to the hospital, they didn't give her a scan like she's supposed to get so she has to go next week, we need a new air conditioner that's like, $4,000, we have Halloween to plan (we may not even do it this year), and the wall in our bathroom is apparently leaking again. I've been trying to smile through all that's going on, thinking that we could handle it all, but this is becoming hard, especially hearing from my grandma today that my mom had come out and told her (five minutes after she had talked to her before) that she was glad grandma had taught her suicide wasn't the answer to anything.

Turned 19, going out to a Japanese restaurant and going to see ParaNorman within today and tomorrow.

Happy early, belated, or actual birthdays to all!

I am open for trading! It might sound a little weird, but I've been having a block lately, so I'm thinking random ideas for trades can help me get out of it and help me write more. Sort of like reverse psychology... I think...

Anyway, short and simple, trades are open, though there are some things I won't write about because they aren't my thing and won't be in my groove.

Though I know for sure I'll be able to do M/M. So tell me what you want, I'll tell you what I want, and we'll get it all down and done with!

Happy wagging,
