General | Posted 16 years ago..It always works like this. My whole move in with my fiance was going too smoothly. I got a call this afternoon saying the place we were intending to move into changed their pet policy just this week. Their pet limit changed from five, to two.
I have three pets, two of these needing special care, and the other being a large Pit Bull mix. We even offered management a thousand dollars upfront as an extra-animal fee, but refused to budge on the issue.
My animals are my children. I've had the cat and the chihuahua two and three years, respectfully. The Pit mix was part of a litter that I rescued from a frozen creek in early December, and has been inseparable from me since. To the point of protecting me from a mugging.
The cat is actually prone to seizures, when she isn't medicated. And without supervision, could potentially hurt herself. My teacup chihuahua, while very tiny and adorable, isn't entirely housebroken. He has a bladder problem, and occasionally, he can't hold it. Most people wouldn't have the patience to deal with these two.
An no one wants a large-breed that's nervous around children, and possibly dog-aggressive.
I've spent around six hours sobbing. I'm not sure what to do. We can't afford another place.

Emergency 10$ Sketch Commissions - OPEN.
General | Posted 16 years agoI've hit rock-bottom on finances since my health went south, and with a major move across the country coming up.. things are lookin' grim. I'll be taking four sketch commission spots. When I finish the first four, I'll take another. These make end up with rough color, like my speed-portraits, or clean lines like the majority of my sketches. Depends on my mood.
Comment if you'd like to snag a spot.

The Doctor is OUT.
General | Posted 16 years agoSo, the other day I spent six hours dealing with a suicidal friend here in my apartment. The whole thing was over a woman. Granted, he was being treated terribly, but he has a bad habit of totally obsessing over his current object of affections. Since this chick was his first lay, it was worse than usual.
For the past few months, I've been trying to get him to take some advice. He's infuriated all his other friends with his inability to listen to their input. Which has basically been the same as I told him.
Finally, it came down to 'KNIFE TO THE THROAT, SAVE ME KITTEN'.
First off, I'm not fit to save anyone. I was crippled in a car accident almost two years ago. I'm in a wheel-chair 85% of my day. I have severe, severe bouts of depression of my own; how is it fair for me to take on someone else's burden?
The boy is very sweet. And I owe him a great deal, but I can't carry him through his fucked up relationship. I'm disabled, and spiraling down into my own hole.

Let's talk about sex, baby.
General | Posted 16 years agoGanked from Spearfrost.
Sexual orientation?
> Straight as a.. circle?
How often do you think about sex?
> About every conscious minute of my day. Goddamn my libido.
How often do you HAVE sex?
> It's been about a month, or so. But, if we're talking about masturbation.. *Shifty.*
Worst sexual experience?
> Ugh. There's been quite a few of those. My best lovers have been women; the men were all mostly disappointing.
Cybersex? Phone sex?
> No 'cybersex'. I'm not averse to -adult roleplay-, but that's only for character development. Phone sex? I am entirely, entirely too shy. I can listen, but I can rarely contribute, save for a little dirty talking.
Casual sex?
> I can do it. I have done it.
What is your favorite masturbation euphemism?
> "Gonna' go rub one out, and go to bed!"
Sex toys and related fetish accessories?
> I have quite a few. My Hitachi Magic Wand is my best goddamn friend.
MOST sexiest body parts?
> I am in love with eyes, and a soft mouth.
Favorite body type?
> I'll take anything, as long as it isn't twig-thin.
Monogamy or polygamy?
> I want to SAY I can stand polygamy; I have been in three-way relationships more than once.. But, I am entirely too jealous and possessive of the partner I get attached to.
Underwear?
> It depends. I rarely wear clothes when home alone.. But I LOVE the concept of a partner dressing up for me. A frilly thong, corsette, babydoll.. Any of it. Very sexy and the gesture is sweet.
Pornographic or erotic?
> I love both greatly. Especially if it borders on non-consensual and heavy bondage. *Whistles.*
How large is your porn collection?
> Massive.
Kissing or cuddling?
> And fucking, and spooning!
Passive or Dominant?
> Mostly, dominant. I can switch, however, as necessary. And.. sometimes, I just want to not be in control.
While in action, what do you like to hear?
> Whimpers and little moans; begging, whispers of my name.

The Death of Traditional Media.
General | Posted 16 years agoThis has been something that bothered me for a long time; it is not, in any way, a slam against the amazing digital artists that abound on the internet. Please, do not interpret it that way.
But.
Whatever happened to hours of toil upon one canvas--one tiny square of paper? What happened to a single droplet of paint or a smudged line 'making or breaking' three days worth of work? People have forgotten how magnificent mundane mediums are.
True, not everyone can use Photoshop, Painter, or Corel with the same adeptness. However, it seems cheapening to the Artist that does all their work by hand.. That a single button and go back and remove one earth-shattering mistake. Likewise, I have much greater respect for the woman that spends her day covered in glazes and clay, than the man sitting at his computer, running a fake pen over a piece of electronic equipment.
Disney started the trend, I believe, when they declared all of their movies would be created digitally. A heart-breaking realization. But do we, as artists, really have to take on the 'adapt to survive' mentality when it comes to our art, for recognition?
