Ok, you really want to read this? Well, ok then...

Anyway, I just returned to my house after a 7 month internship. During the 7 months that I was gone, I met and starting dating someone. Not long after, he proposed to me. I said yes, as I was quite happy about it at the time.

Fast forward to now. I'm home, he's on the other side of the country. And while I was sad to say good-bye to him, it's started to make things a lot harder for me.

He calls and messages me more and more frequently. On top of that, he's pushing harder and harder for the life that he wants us to have. Specifically, the part with me sacrificing my education and part of my dreams. And the whole "having kids" thing.

In case you didn't know, I want to get a doctorate degree, I want to travel the world and become a writer and teacher, and I DON'T want kids (at least until I'm in my mid 30's. At least) When I tried to push my life forward, all I got was complaining about how he always has to sacrifice in his relationships.

I'm reaching my breaking point with him. On the one hand, I hate breakups, and I do care for him still. On the other hand, my head is screaming at me to let him go.

Then, on another note, I'm back living with my mother. In case you're wondering why this is bad, my mother and I are almost incapable of living under the same roof anymore. It started with our differences in opinion over cleanliness - she is a neat freak, I see nothing wrong with a mess. Then, when I began to look at other living arrangements, she ever so slightly began to tighten her grip on me. The more I try to pull away, the tighter she holds on.

It's to the point where I feel like I'm suffocating, especially after being able to live essentially according to my own desires for most of this year.

I need to leave her too. But again, I don't know how.

Hopefully I'll figure it out soon. If you actually read this, thanks for caring. Or not. Have a sandwich and be on your way.

Hello my friends and visitors! Guess what time of year it is?!

That's write! :P In less than three weeks, writers from all over the world will commence in writing their novels of National Novel Writing Month! I personally am very excited to write my novel this year...mostly because I failed miserably last year to reach 50,000 words.

Anyway, if there are any fellow NaNoWriMos on here, please, go to http://www.nanowrimo.org/ and add me as your NaNo buddy! (Same username as here - Rosethorn225)

Ganbatte!

Hey guys. You like FA? Spend just a smidgen of your time here? Maybe made a few friendships through this place?

Well, the dude who originally made this website for all us furballs is having a bit of a rough spot right now. He's had some fairly heavy medical issues lately, and those bills can add up fast.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1736085/

He's taking commissions to try and make up for what he's lost from missed work recently, but he's also behind on class stuff because of the health problems. The last thing someone recovering from a hospital stay needs is more stuff to stress about. If you want to commission him, he's got his info there, but really, I would think just a few people might have a little bit here and there to offer a donation. If not just to be cool and lend a helping hand to someone who needs it, then maybe out of appreciation to help out the guy who's responsible for us even having this website to mess around on, right?

One of my friends,  lonelygabu, has been going through a bit of a rough period after a death in the family. He also is in need of some financial support in order to collect the necessary art supplies for his classes.

If any of you could possibly spare it, I encourage you to commission/purchase items from Azu Gabu. He's a great guy, and he needs a little support right now.

For his journal detailing what's been going on, go to: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/...../#cid:14537318

To browse his gallery or learn more about him, go to: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/lonelygabu/

Thanks from both of us.

Hey guys! Just wanted to let everyone know that two of my favorite FA users,  darkduck64 and  spazzykoneko are holding an auction for a commission. Spazzy will be doing the artwork, Darkduck will be doing the story.

Here's the link to the auction: http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1017199.html?

Here are the postings from Darkduck on the auction:

And be sure to check out the rest of their work - I assure you, it's worth a good, long look. :)

Have a good time, and best of luck in the auction!

Well, I'm home for the summer. I'm still waiting for all of my final grades to come in, but it looks like I passed everything. (With mostly A's, no less)

So, what does being home for the summer mean for me? Basically, sitting around, trying to find anything to do while I wait for madre to get me over to the DMV so I can start learning to drive. (And no, I can't just go there on my own. I live in the middle of a forest - same reason I can't get a summer job unless someone has some work for me to do online)

It also means learning to scuba. That should be fun, especially since I'm terrified of water. (Perhaps Bekah can lend me some of her spirit)

AND...video games. I want my video games back, damn it. I just hope I haven't forgotten how to play them, after being apart for a few months. :/

Finally, it means being semi-creative again. I'm usually not in the mood to create, but I do look forward to having the time to write, sing, and make jewelry without the distractions of school work. (If anyone has any requests, let me know)

As a P.S., this is a story I thought my Roo friends would enjoy, courtesy of Probably Bad News and the Cheezburger Network: http://probablybadnews.com/2010/05/.....w-unfortunate/

P.P.S. Check out my winning essay for darkduck64's contest. :)
