Carpal tunnel syndrome?
General | Posted 13 years agoDoes anyone out there know anyone who has it?
What is it like? How did it begin?
I'm asking because I've noticed that my wrist (and sometimes my hand) feels weird when I draw nowadays. At first it would just go numb after 30-40 minutes of drawing.
When I stopped drawing it didn't really hurt, it was just a tingly sensation, like when your leg is "asleep".
Now it's even a bit painful, but not enough to be unbearable. I can't really describe it. It's like...A cramp, but MUCH lighter.
I think I'll just let it be or a while, and if it doesn't go away I'll ask a doctor about it. It's a bit annoying, but I don't want to risk anything.
I don't think it's CTS, actually. I just cant think of anything else. :1

Trojans and absence.
General | Posted 13 years agoAbsence
Some of you probably wonder; Mel, where the fuck did you go?!
The answer: I'm studying! :D I got accepted at a summer course that will prepare me for the university.
I'm not sure where I'll end up after that, though.
Anyway, I've been focusing on that. The internet is too distracting for me, so I've tried to stay away as much as possible. I occasionally check Facebook and tumblr (And 9gag. Cough.), but that's pretty much it.
It'll be over soon and then I'll be back. :3
Trojans
They are sneaky fucking bastards. I got one a couple of days ago. It deleted all my files (Before you ask, NO I didn't have a backup. :D) and blocked my antivirus program.
I had to format the entire hard drive after that one.
Now I've got a laptop that's working like it's brand new, but I lost ALL my projects, reference pictures, photos, music (I know how to get that back, though.), old drawings and programs.
I can barely contain my excitement! :D
Currently, I'm living with Marq so it'll take a while before I can reinstall most of my things too.
Time to get one of those portable hard drives. :|

Springtime, for Hitler and Germany!
General | Posted 13 years agoThe title's from a film, all right. I don't know why I thought of it.
Hey, y'all. How are you doing?
It's been a while, I know. Quite a lot of things going on right now!
I just found a new animation school in Sweden that seems to be much better than Kavesta, so I'm going to apply. I hope they will accept me! It would be so awesome to finally have something to do again.
I need to work on my portfolio. Holy shit. Umm.
I've also got a couple of commissions to finish now that I've finally got a tablet.
I need to lose weight, too. I've gained way too much. Urgh.
Man, looking at new flats is fun, even though I'm not moving yet. I just love dreaming about how I'll decorate th'place. I have no life. :1
I'm still looking for a job, but no luck so far. The economy, you know. :1 I'm too young and stupid, too.
Oh, but I'm off to see my boyfriend tomorrow, it's going to be awesome!
Life's pretty good right now. I don't like spring, though. Too much light (It's not even the cozy kind, it's just brutally bright and painful!) and pollen.
Aaaah, well. This place needs more drawings. I'll see what I can do.
