Okay, I need to go back and find my contest winners so I can give everyone their art.


But here's the thing.


While FA was offline, my computer completely crashed. Everything once on it is now gone.

Including photo shop.

So, I tried to reinstall it. It doesn't work. For some reason it's not cooperating. I'm hoping to remedy this soon.

If anyone wants to do a trade, I can use markers or colored pencils just as well as photo shop.

And I'm opening a new account here.

My name will be : thehybrid. because i have a completely new fursona named fidget and i have new arts for everyone to see.

after updating my new account, i'll check up on this one less and less. but if you wish to continue to watch me, please check out the other account. ^.^

More like, I need some inspiration.

Here's the dillio:

You think of a song title. You tell me. I look up the lyrics. I draw a picture of Ragdoll with your character due to my interpretation of the song I'm given.

It could turn into a trade.

2.  vennek - Might do another one, thinking


COMMISSIONS:

1.  theorangefox - In progress <<<I will get hard to work on getting a couple more finished before I leave for my other camp. But I don't want to chance drawing them while I'm around so many other people. Once camps are over, I'm going hardcore commission mode. =]


Please be patient. I actually have a gel pen doodle I did of Ragdoll with angel wings. It's very pretty. But I can't scan it until I get back to my other house, which probably won't happen until the end of June.


Adios, amigos. I shall miss you all.

You know, I'm really sick of men running out on me.

Either one, they're just not for me/not good enough/put me off--OR two, they string me along because they get off on playing my heart/like someone else/not telling me exactly what's wrong.

I mean, what the hell do I have to do to get some honesty around here?

If you don't want me like that, TELL ME. If you like someone else, TELL ME. If something's bothering you and you think it could affect us, TELL ME.

Why is that so difficult to register in the mind of a man?

Self-centered. They must have a complex. They seem to put themselves before me or anyone else that wants to care about them. And it's not fair. This isn't a sexist thing--this is a true observation of what I've experienced thus far in my sixteen years of living and five years of relationships.

Even if the truth hurts, I can take it. Because in the end, lying hurts me more. And since everyone likes to lie to me, I suppose I'm just a target for pain.

Why are boys so friggin sadistic? I mean, c'mon!

I don't ask for much. I like to be able to talk about anything, talk often, see each other often( but not live and breathe each other's air, y'know?) I just like reassurance. I need him to tell me how he feels. To tell me I'm being unfair, or stupid, or dramatic. To tell me that he doesn't want anyone else but me.

Now, there are a few guys out there that would do just that...it's just, I'm not attracted to them. It's the ones I want badly enough to cry that treat me like dirt.

I'm not dirt. I'm not a card to be gambled or played. I'm not an artifact that you can sell or own. I am a human being. A woman who justs wants to find HER version of Prince Charming.

You wanna know why I read romance novels? "Porn" or "naughty" books? Because the love in there that I come across is TRUE.

Too bad it can only be found, for me, in books.

I hate that I'm so hooked on all of this. I can live. I'm a strong person.

It's the men that I try to be with that bring me down to close to nothing.

I come so friggin close to finding someone I like being with. And what happens? He lies to me. Why lie? Why does everyone have to lie? Truth is really the only way to accomplish anything.

I can dress up nice, put on makeup, some cute clothes, try to walk around with a confident look on my face. Where has that gotten me? Absolutely nowhere.

It's kinda like a hallucination in the desert. You crave water. You need it to live. And you become so obsessed with finding it, that you begin to imagine it. You see sand ahead, then it turns into water. Cool, fresh, clean water. It looks good. It's everything you've dreamed of. But when you get close enough to touch it, to finally have what you've been waiting for, it vanishes. All that lays before you is sand.

FREAKING SAND.

I want that water. I want that love. It's because I've fallen in love twice now, that I have this burning desire to pursue it desperately until I find it again.

Hm. This blog would make a great song.

Later.

I now have 3 entries.

I have ONE entry so far. ....

Um...guys?

So yeah. Enter my contest. Because you love me. :3

Due to the fact that I am 16 and considered "underage" to view mature artwork on this site, and because my myspace page link also reads that I am 16, the people on FA have decided to put a block on my account not allowing me to view or submit mature art work. They have gone through and removed anything mature already on here.

That means I can't submit naughty pictures, at least, not on here. If I am to do a mature trade or anything for anybody, I'll just have to find a way to host it somewhere else. Photobucket doesn't accept mature content either.

I'm kinda bummed about it. I don't think it should matter that I'm 16. But hey, it's that stupid rule that establishes 18 year olds as adults. This block won't be lifted until 2009-when I'm supposed to turn 18.

Lame.


---Contest---

I'm still holding it--this won't stop me.

Entries so far:

What is the name of your fursona?

Ragdoll

Where did the name of your Fursona come from?

I have an obsession with the Nightmare Before Christmas. And I think "Sally the Ragdoll" So, Ragdoll was my favorite word for a while and I made the character

What species is your fursona and why did you choose that species?

Fox and Wolf mix. My personality is a good combination of both of these animals. Plus, I've had a fettish for hybrids since I was little.



What color is your fursona and why? Hair/fur/eyes/etc Why?:

Coffee-colored. Her hair is black with brownish tints. Her eyes are brown. She wear black thick glasses and pink converses. A torn black skirt, black bracelets on her right wrist, and a white tank top




What is your fursona's personality and how does this compare to your irl personality?

Well, she's a little different. She doesn't sleep much(which is why she has dark lines under her eyes), doesn't talk much, likes to write poetry, doodles mermaids, eats sunflower seeds, and has little tolerance for stupid people. I'm the same as some of these qualities. She's pretty much a replica of myself and what I stand for. Imperfection is perfection.


What is one item your fursona owns that is significant to you irl?

Her thick frame glasses. I wear the same kind and they're significant because I'm blind. XD


What is one thing you think you would say to your fursona if you could meet?

"You're awesome, and I wish I could be you."


What is one thing your fursona would say to you if you could meet?

" Oh, snap son!"



How has your fursona changed over the years?

Well, originally, my fursona was Shade. But I figure, let's make one for the REAL me. And Ragdoll was born. I have different furries, but only Ragdoll is a true representation of myself.


How long have you had this fursona?

for about a year now


Would you like to be more like your fursona?

I wish I had her skin tone, lol. ^_^ And her hair.

Your character's species:

If your fursona/avatar:
was:

a general airborne species: falcon
a general aquatic species: clown fish mermaid thing
a general invertebrate:
an amphibian:
a bird: parakeet
a canine: border collie
a dinosaur: brontasaurus
a feline: tiger
an insect/arachnid: butterfly
a marsupial: kangaroo
a microoganism: a blood cell
a mythical species: unicorn
a primate: chimp
a reptile: lizard
a rodent or lagomorph: mouse
an ungulate: zebra
a mammal in a group not listed above: rabbit


Try picking (at least) 3 of these choices and sketch them out, keeping your character recognizable. Then you can see what they look like as another species that you may not have considered before. The results may be surprising.

I'm so sick and tired of dealing with people who aren't even my friends. Real friends. Even though you have history, even though you've told each other your deepest, darkest secrets, it doesn't mean a thing if one of you doesn't give a friendship your best.

So what's the point of even considering yourselves to be friends when you hardly EVER speak to each other, one of them has a job, a boyfriend, and no free time. One of them has no job, has no boyfriend, and has plenty of free time to give.

Even if you can't see each other, you should at least talk to each other. Y'know? I think it's rather indecent and inpolite to not do so when you were once so close. Friends drift apart, and I understand that.

But come on!

She's just not willing to give it a second glance. She doesn't care. She doesn't think I care.

She can go suck a fish.

I care. I DID care. I don't anymore.

I'm fed up. Simple as that. I'm glad I have REAL friends that I CAN talk to, and HANG out with, and BE with all the time.

I just wish she'd say hi instead of treating me like I'm invisible. Frankly, it pisses me off. I don't deserve to be treated like this when I have literally done nothing but be the best friend I could be for her.

And that's the truth, folks. I could tell you how long, why, how much. But it's too much to put in here. That's how dedicated to our friendship I was.

Example, though. I invited her and her boyfriend to my Sweet 16. They were hardly social, she had a skimpy costume and was ALL over her boyfriend. My mom found it disrespectful and un-ladylike. Which it was. And I told her so. I sent her a message explaining how I felt about the situation.

Her response wasn't even her OWN response!

She replied with a copied and pasted conversation with her boyfriend about my message. She thought that if she broke down crying, she'd drag all the attention away from me and I'd yell at her for it.

What kind of messed up shit is that? I'm not that kidn of person! If she had cried at my party, I would've been the first one to go over and ask her what was wrong, try to help in any way I could.

God, she's such a conniving little---agh!

And her boyfriend was no better. He said that if someone wasn't all over me at my party, I wouldn't have paid them any attention.

Also bullshit. I had lots of guests, and as anyone with common sense should know, you have to be even with everybody. I tried to talk to them. I went up to them several times. They just stayed in that one spot on my couch. Tsh. Yeah, okay, whatever. Yall are perfect for each other if you think I'm such a horrible person.

Geez, that girl has known me for most of our lives--surely she'd know I 'd never be someone so mailicious and mean!

I deserve more credit than that. Anytime she called me, crying, I'd talk to her or go right over to her house. I was at her house all the time. We had a very sisterly relationship going on. I'd do anything in the world for her if she asked me to.

Unfortunately, I was the giver. She was the taker.

I just wish I could make her see it clearly. Because everytime that I've tried to explain this to her, she twists it and doesn't seem to understand how she could POSSIBLY ever be at fault! She's never the bad guy. Never.

But she is. She'll just have to get over it. Of course, she doesn't know this, because she hasn't tried to have a serious conversation with me. Everytime I tried, she would obviously change the subject. 9_9

Sorry guys. I needed to vent. I'm just sick of her crap. I'm officially fed up.

Just...done.

For a while there, no one liked me, I thought. ^_^" I hadn't received comments in like a month or favs or anything. Made me very sad. And suddenly I have 64 watches and all kinds of comments. Some people have even been generous enough to color my work! *squeals* It's like, unreal for me. I have all these requests and trades to do. Makes me feel important and wanted, you know? So, I love FA. I feel like my art is always appreciated here. Thank you to all who have favorited my art, commented on my art, complimented my art, and watched me. You have no idea how great it makes me feel. XD * loads of hugs*

LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER AND EVER!
