Sorry guys.
Skyward Sword and work.
I'm sure you understand.

i'm definitely not up at 5:20 am looking for change in my room to pay for an icon from one of my favorite artists because i work one day this week
what
no
never
please

i've just plain scrapped and started over this trade at east five times over the past three days omg
pointers for not coming across too realistic and getting down the facial structure?
i do muzzles but they're hard on cats pity me bawwwww if that changes your pointers any.

~~!!DISCLAIMER. this is an actual journal. like i typed about my life and shit. you can ignore it. LOL.!!~~

it occurs to me today, as i sit in my bathroom to avoid other people in my house, on the floor and naked because a towel or blanket or clothes would mean i have to go past those same people i'm in here to avoid, that i am not a social creature unless it is online.
online i crave friends and socialization. i like talking and ocing and skyping and gaming and other things like that. (but never over email.)
in real life i feel that keeping in contact with people be it via text or email or morse code or just by walking by their place of work- so long as it's not facebook, facebook i can deal with- is just too much fucking work.
i've been trying to make friends with a dude i'm gonna call zeldapizza. now zeldapizza works at a pizza shop i like and i gave him my email and phone number. we have very similar interests! he's a pretty cool dude! i wish i were friends with him! but i can never remember to check my email or respond to my texts and my phone is always dying because no one ever even texts me unless it's dead anyway and the charger is missing and jesus christ it's just a clusterfuck.
and every day that i can't find my phone charger, i worry that zeldapizza is starting to hate me. and hes not gonna buy it when i find the fucking thing and am like WOOP LOST MY LIFELINE TO THE UNIVERSE
and i love my friends, i want to go out all the time, but after i go out with the same person too many times i'm just like UGH
AGAIN?
REALLY?
I WANT TO PRETEND TO BE A BROODING INTROSPECTIVE ART STUDENT TODAY.
even though i love that person and we have fun together.
unless it's on the internet.
i've talked to akuda-on-here nearly every day for like five or six or maybe seven years and i never get sick of her. i've never gotten sick of any of the people on my msn. well, once or twice, but it's been like 8 years. i'm entitled to two.

i dunno, i just felt the need to type all that out.
i've never been a 'journal' person but i feel better now that i've gotten all that down.

FEEL FREE TO IGNORE THE JOURNAL there's nothing particularly art related in it.

one job, one set of financial issues (like a spontaneous 70$ charge in overdraft fees for dollar items i thought i evened out a week ago) and one halloween later
i am asking for even more refs to practice on- grimmgin zoralynn and shaded i'm doodling with yours but may or may not be able to finish them all the way, either way you'll prolly get art out of it (i can't decide how to do the noses or, like, i can't get an arm to agree with me or teh lines always turn out awful or something.)

just post a ref and an interest of the character and i'll probably attempt to sketch them in like, a dynamic pose or something relevant, to get a handle on species, anatomy, and .. whatever that word for shit-in-the-foreground is i'm tired as a motherfucker jesus.

YES. ALL THAT.

Tomorrow, I pay the magical beautiful Mystiqe for an icon!
Thursday, my very first job interview!
Saturday, potentially a renfair to buy a new corset and eat a massive drumstick and play with a bow and arrow and possibly buy myself a hugeass axe.
Oh god I'm so scared and excited.

AFTER I FINISH THIS TRADE which will not take long at all

i just want to get some practice in. of a character i haven't done before, 'cause i love trying new thingss.
i may or may not do it idk. if you want one though you can leave infos here and i'll maybe pull one out of it to do!? don't be scared to do so!

if i don't do you an icon, don't worry, i'll probably save your ref and use it when i want to practice, later

if you don't know what to include uhhh like

references:: bngjbngbg**
clothes:: dressed like a pirate
idea/pose/whatever:: pref. a general idea like 'smiling' or 'eating a popsicle'
interests:: if you dont want to give me the above you can just be like SHE/HE LIKES VIDERO GAMES and ill draw her/him using an atari controller etc etc

**images are a must, sorry!! i have a terrible time working off text.

also feel free to suggest a name for my blue gryffe STILL TAKING SUGGESTIONS PRETTY PLEASE

working on a last minute change to vari and my trade of a blue kitty and staring at my wrist tattoo and wondering what i can change it into. i want to get it turned into something else rather than just removing it because i do not have a lot of money to spend on tattoo removal.
but i have no idea what i could make it.

it totally made my day how much love vari's ref got <3 homg.
and i'm souped about the trades, they're really going to stretch my brain and abilities and i'm super excited.
also, because i get to draw raptor feet and use the word 'velocelox.'
oh my god furaffinity is awesome

mostly though to get out of my canine comfort zone
still using fille just trying to stretch my muscles.
and have something that shows my love of blue, my favorite color.
and other things.
and isn't like, disease colored.

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER GOTTEN SO MANY WATCHERS BEFORE I LOVE EVERYONE
ESPECIALLY THE FINEASSBITCH FRINDLE FOR THE PLUG
Oh god is thanking for watches on userpages a thing here? If not, THANKS, EVERYONE!
this is awesome you are all awesome. <3

Look at me, I'm so excited I can't even control my shift-key finger.
