I'm announcing now that I plan to raise my prices before the end of the year. All current commissions will be completed for the agreed-upon price, and I will not be accepting any more commissions until I have posted a Commission Sheet and my Terms of Service.

Thank you for your patronage!

PLEASE don't forget to mention that I referred you when you enter!

For anyone who isn't on already, FurGather is basically the furry version of facebook. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it seems to be gaining popularity pretty fast, and I just want you to know you can friend me!

If so, note me on here with your skype address!

I like to chat, but am also up for rp if you'd like!

Just want you to know, that for anyone going, I'll miss you all at Megaplex this year. I went last year, but this year, there's absolutely no way for me to afford it. I REALLY wanted to go, but things just didn't work out.

I hope everyone else has fun though.

As for the rest of my life, I've got a bit more direction. I think I'll try to go into financial aid (like in schools) for a career path. Art has been suck for me. I drew something today out of desperation but it pretty much sucked. I don't know that I'll be doing art for a long time... Been meeting with some friends outside of the fandom (mostly because I don't know anyone IN the fandom anymore) and that's at least gotten me out of the house a bit. Going to be going to NC in late June for a family vacation... because for some fucking reason the ONLY places we can go on vacation are in the deep south. I wanted to go to Boston some other different type of place, but I didn't get a say in it because I'm not paying for it. Speaking of which, I STILL don't have a job, or any promising leads. Yay.

But yeah, no Megaplex, no furry friends, no job, going somewhere I don't want for my vacation, blargh.

I really wish I knew what I wanted to do with my life. Or had an obvious skill or something.

You always hear from successful people, and they always say they knew what they wanted to do with their life, or they got lucky one day and something they did just sorta took off. But you never hear about the people who are successful because they do what they can at something they don't actually enjoy. But I don't know what I enjoy. I like talking to my friends and playing video games, but I can't use that kind of stuff to pay the rent. It sucks because I feel like whatever I do, my heart won't be in it, and I'm never going to be successful.

It gets really depressing. I don't have any goals to work towards, other than "Don't fail college." I don't even like the program I picked out. (Accounting, before you ask)

I just don't feel like I have any direction to my life, and it sucks and makes me curl up in a ball a lot.

I tend to procrastinate and avoid things all together. Its probably my worst trait, and I wish I had some way to deal with it. I used to fill my procrastination time with other things I wanted or needed to do, but now I don't even do that. I used to avoid assignments by drawing, and now, I will literally sit there doing absolutely nothing, and I feel really bad about it, but I don't stop.

I don't know what to do any more. I WANT to stop being lazy, but... it just happens. Maybe I'm too lazy to change. What really sucks is that I stress about the things I don't get done once I can't do them, but as soon as I have the ability to do them, it's suddenly not a priority any more. It's like an illness, and it makes me sick of myself.

Only just yesterday did I start looking for a part time job, when my mom has been begging me for a month to do it. And it wasn't because of her. It was because I made some new friends and I want to spend time with them, which is going to involve going to restaurants.

That's another thing. I eat too much. I hate it, and I'm aware of it while I'm eating. I'll literally be putting things on my plate, while thinking "You don't need that. That's way more than a serving, and you're going to gain more weight." I can't help myself though. I sometimes think I literally have no self control.

I don't know why I typed this up... Probably because I'm supposed to be doing my taxes, looking for a textbook, drawing the requests I accepted. I haven't touched a pencil in two weeks. I know, I suck for that, and I WANT to draw, but whenever I pick up a pencil and a piece of paper, the will suddenly leaves me, and I end up doing absolutely nothing.

I want to start exercising too. The rowdy people down the street moved away, so now there's nothing stopping me from taking a jog around the neighborhood... Why don't I? I actually ENJOY exercising. I feel really good when I exercise, and I actually lose weight, but I don't do it. I have no idea why...

I guess I'm hoping the internet people will help me, but I doubt I'll do anything any of you suggest. I'll flake out on that too, I just know it.

Okay so I'm literally so bored I got excited when I realized I hadn't checked my email today WHAT DO I DO.

What the title says.

Awesome raffle with tons of prizes

Just got back from Megaplex, and oh my god. I know now that my life's work is to make people happy with furry. I have a new friend who I plan to order a fursuit from later this year, and have rekindled my love of making art.

Speaking of which... I've lowered my commission prices to $2 for sketches, and $5 for full-color. I figured there's nothing wrong with starting out small. ^^

Many of you may not know, but I am founder of the Lake County Furs, the furry group of Lake County Florida! If you know someone in Florida, or you live here yourself, here's the link to our page! It's a bit bare right now, but pictures will be added soon!
