Yep, 'nother year has come and gone. Still at Purdue, rockin' all As last semester. ^_^ Hoping to keep that up this coming semester. Also applying to study in London fall '15/spring /16. Reeeeally hope I get accepted for that. ^_^ Practicing with my jousting troupe in the spring/summer, and we *may* have a gig in May. XD Should be a good year!

I GOT BACK IN TO PURDUE!!!!! So excited. ^.^ I start back in mid-January, so long as I can get all my financial aid ducks in a row. Also, I turn 30 in March. x_______x Not looking forward to that. BUT! I have a goal to fit back into my high school clothes by that date. So... fingers crossed, and I'm workin on that. XD

Otherwise.... business as usual! And check out my jousting troupe on Facebook:
www.facebook.com/KnightsOfTheRoseJoustingTroupe

Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, and happy 5th night of Chanukah, everyone!

OMG I leave for Vermont in 5 days. ;____; Nervous/scared/omgwtfbbq.

It's a great fuckin' opportunity for me, but goddamn. I'll be gone for a year. And I have nothing packed. I don't even have a list of what I need to take. *unprepared Kitty is unprepared*

On the plus side, I'm hoping that at the end of the year I'll be able to fit into my high school clothes again. That would absolutely rock. >.>

So yeah, if anyone is looking for a place to take a vacation and has a mint to spend, come visit me at Friesians of Majesty! *~*~* www.friesiansofmajesty.com *~*~*

WTF. >.> Just saw the video for "The Adventures of Raindance Maggie".

1) I didn't even know RHCP was still together
2) I AM FRIGHTENED BY HIS FACIAL HAIR
3) Just in case you're curious or into creeping yourself out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtBb.....XI&ob=av2e


That is all...

Oh yeah, HOOKAH STEM IS HERE!!! Finally. x.x Well, not *here* here, but it's at the post office for me to go pick up tomorrow. XD Then there shall be much with the squeeing and taking of pics.

Also, about 3 years ago I put up a journal asking if anyone would be interested in commissions and didn't get any responses. Srsly, not a single one. So I'ma ask again, is there anyone out there in FAland that might have an interest in giving an old coywolf monies for arts if I were to offer commishes?

 Luckypan recently had a kidney transplant and is on the mend, but needs help with aftercare expenses. Donate if you can, and spread the word!

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2898361/

FU, FA. I'd like to upload some stuff, but evidently you and my internet are having words, and opted not to tell me. /shakefist

So! Promo for a new paranormal web series that a friend is filming. Go watch it and give it lots of good reviews so it has a better chance of being picked up by a major network! (Yours truly might get a spot on the show if that happens!)

Ehm... yeah..... so, stuff. Cancelled my WoW account for a while 'til we can get caught up on money stuffs, so I'm on LOTRO for now. I've had an account on there pretty much since launch, but I got distracted from it by WoW. Now I have a chance to work on those characters some more, plus the graphics are just beautiful. (As is the music. ^.^)




That's all for now... No new artings to upload, sorry. -.-; I fail. Haven't been feeling at all creative lately, anybody have any suggestions?

Why me. This child will NOT go to sleep tonight.


This is why people hit kids- they don't FUCKING SHUT UP. EVER.

Wow. Aside from Polish, I am least American out of all of these. <.< Well, guess I already knew this. I enjoy living here, but goddamn stupid oughtta hurt.

So, what's the difference between "anthro" and "furry", in everyone's opinion? This has apparently become quite a semantic divide, and I have to say, I'm a little befuddled as to why it's such a big deal.

Thanks to Grausig for posting this; I'd forgotten how much this guy has done in my life.
________________________________________________________________
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, “Common Sense,” who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- knowing when to come in out of the rain;

- the early bird gets the worm;

- life isn’t always fair; and

- maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, “Truth” and “Trust,” by his wife, “Discretion,” by his daughter, “Responsibility,” and by his son, “Reason.”

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers – “I Know My Rights,” “I Want It Now,” “Someone Else Is To Blame,” and “I’m A Victim.”

Not many attended his funeral, because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Hmmm, thought it would have been higher, lol.

If I were to take commissions, would anybody request one?

I would probably just offer con badges, or character sketches. I don't think I'd do any backgrounds because, well, there's a reason that you haven't seen any in my gallery. The only one that turned out decently is too big to fit on my scanner. >_<

So.... What do you all think? Would YOU commission me?


As a side note, I've got a few new things to upload. I just have to beat my coyote until he drops the scanner cables like coins from a gold ? box in Mario Brothers. >^_^<

Just kidding, I love my coyote. I'd never beat him. For too long, anyway. ^_~

Someone left Caribou Coffee in Eversoar's driveway with a note that says "To Java Wolf," which is my character's nickname in the Werewolf: the Forsaken game we play in. O.o We think we know who it is, but..... It's still pretty damn random. But it *is* java, so..... Yeah. <.< *noms java and 'yote* ^_^; Random surprises keep life interesting.

My sketchbook has been sullied! It was attacked by water, aided, apparently, by dying weatherstripping. >_< And for some strange reason, it smells like pizza.


WTF????



So.... have new art. *uploads* Not much, but is what I has scanned in so far. Need to get scanner out of back of car. >.> This requires seeing Eversoar. Hmmmmm.... I think this could work to my advantage. *nods*

New art forthcoming! Like, in the next day or two. O.o Huzzah for pirates. >^_^<

Ugh. If any of you have ever read Blood and Chocolate, you'll probably want to hunt down and strangle the writer of the movie whenever you go see it. Even the characters barely resemble their book versions in anything other than name. >_< The movie itself is decent, but in no way does it deserve to say that it's based on the book... grar. *shakes fist* So disappointed.

Yeah, spent a good portion of the night uploading stuffs, and I've still got about 25 more to do... o.< I guess when you're making up for almost 10 years of work, that can happen. Ah well, enjoy what's up so far. ^^

Rah! Right, so, still no internet in the apartment, but I'm working on that!! I promise I'll get some work up here as soon as I possibly can. For now, there's always my dA account, ArtemisBlackfur. And yes, I'll have more (and different!) stuff on here than I currently do on there. ^^; Shmee, wish me luck in battle against Comcast!
