Of birthdays and kirabans...
Posted 19 years agoSo yesterday I survived another winter to be 22. Woot. As for not really telling people in advanced, it's just another day on the calendar. No need t' celebrate that.
And, for the lucky person who gets my 1000 screen shot [yush, I wanna see a screen shot for this], they'll get a piccie of their choice. Be forewarned. I don't really draw porn. Sure, I've done some images in the past, but I don't really like drawing them. So, good luck to whomever catches the 1000th! ^^; it's at 965 at the moment...

FatPandahttp://www.furaffinity.net/view/255229/ Seriously, what is there NOT to like about this piece?
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/124113/ Adorable character + spiffeh coloring = teh win
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/124116/ *coughcough* Alrighteh, I'm a sucker for adorable characters.
Wiegraffhttp://www.furaffinity.net/view/182030/ The piece itself looks rather spiffeh - I love how it was done.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/262417/ The background called to me at first on this one and that led me to the character - she's rather cute. ^^
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/255554/ Another adorable character - I couldn't resist!
Bro-Harlhttp://www.furaffinity.net/view/284643/ The pose, the coloring.. well, overall this piece is definitely one of my faves!
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/299229/ C'mon! She has an army of succubi accordin' to the description. ;p And leather wearin' babes are always in favor.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/240916/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/242169/ - all three were chosen because it takes talent to take good pictures, especially of animals. All three shots of these tigers turned out rather well.
hunterbahamuthttp://www.furaffinity.net/view/143478/ Alright. I'm a sucker for cute "let's cuddle" pieces. *shifty*
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/249938/ As for this one, I just really enjoy the feel of it.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/299189/ And this one is just over all spiffeh.
Stay tuned for more...

So how be y'all? Things be goin' alright for me, I guess. Classes are alright. Tutorin' is fine, aside from the one day two guys were arguin' who'd get t' give me CPR if I passed out. *shudder*

Posted 19 years ago1. One book that changed your life?
It's sort of hard to say. Many books have changed my outlook on life. However, if I have to pick one it would have to be 'Bhadgavad-Gita As It Is'. I find it rare that a book will actually get me thinking really hard about things I've done in life. I haven't even made it through chapter two and I find myself putting the book down a lot as I think about some of which is said it in.
2. One book you have read more than once?
The two I've read the most would be Mercedes Lackey's and Ellen Guon's 'Bedlam's Bard,' and 'Dream Boy,' by Jim Grimsley.
3. One book you would want on a desert island?
"How to Survive in the Wilderness for Dummies."
4. One book that made you laugh?
Just about any of the Angela Knight romance... um... erotica books.
5. One book that made you cry?
'Dream Boy.'
6. One book you wish had been written?
"Brain Surgery for Dummies!" ;p Not really. It would probably be a book that takes place between 'Bedlam's Bard' and 'Spirits White as Lightening.'
7. One book you wish had never been written?
Well, I wouldn't know any titles, but I'll just generalize when I say anything preaching supremecy of one race over another.
8. One book you are currently reading?
'Bhagavad-gita, as it is'
9. One book you have been meaning to read?
'The Power of Khabbala.' Both Jim and Emmie have read it and say it's rather good, so I want to see for myself.

@@; Burning out. Shutting down. Bzzt!
Posted 19 years agoAlrighteh. I have a feelin' that these two weeks comin' up are going to be one of the best two weeks ever (well, that I can have without Em and Jim). I really need a break from school. I don't think I've been sleepin' too well and I have very little time t' do anything not school related. Granted, there are times in the day where I check my fanfiction before gettin' back to work of some sort. *sigh* The GF and BF think I spend too much time on the compie. They may be right, but it's usually with work. Usually, tho, the tend to come out when I'm renderin' something [and I don't do anything work wise when I'm renderin'] and see me readin' fanfiction [<<;; I'm addicted to some.. eheh]. This gets 'em a li'l miffed at me cause they think that's all I'm doing.
On the bright side of things I only have two quarters left. Then it's off to the workin' world (where I'll -hopefully- be less stressed). @@; I'm gonna get a job asap so I can start payin' back my loans. <<; This is gonna suuuuuck.
There may be a chance that my aunt is gettin' me a freelance job with her company. *crosses her fingers* I can hope.

Bad news
Posted 19 years agoI got home from classes yesterday, went to turn on my comp and... nothing. I let the battery charge all night... nothing.
My laptop is probably dead. Figures that it'd happen right before finals, too. I spent most of yesterday depressed and crying [all my art work, works in progress, school work, and stuff for portfolio were on my hard drive].
So.. yea. To those I owe work to I WILL get around to it... when I can get to a comp that I can use and when I finish up finals for class.
Oy vey. Karma has come to bite me in the ass. This is what I get for sayin' to Jorge that "At least my comp hasn't died," when yappin' about school work. Arg! I"m so fuckin' screwed!
And now I'm off to do final stuff that was partially rendered out at home...

Posted 19 years agoJa. Too much tutorin', too many projects for school, too much everything, really. Granted, I'm gonna like my paycheck when I get it in... *looks at a calendar* two or three days. Woot.
School Projects:
Finished:
Adv. Software - built room and stuff in room
Adv. 2D - finished keys, in-betweened one part
Adv. Digital comp - built character, take footage
3D character studio - built props for characters
Need to finish:
Adv. Software - unwrap everything in the room
Adv 2D - working on rest of animation
Adv. Digital comp - rig character, texture character, animate character, track footage.
3D character studio - ten seconds of animation due by Saturday
Not school related:
Need to finish:
DA - :devAidenn-Faolan:'s sketch [The rhino dudemar has been started!]
Need to start:
DA - The kiriban for :devAidenn-Faolan:
For the 100 drawings thingamabob:
11/100 poems finished
1/100 rough sketches started
And, I've been thinking that while I may have said that I won't post the poems until after I've finished the picture goin' with it, I may just post 'em anyways. However, these will not be deviations. These will be posted in my journal. That way I can cross 'em off as I finish, and you folks won't think that I'm BSin' anything. <<; Just as a warnin' to you folks... I hate writing poetry - hell, most of what I've done so far are haikus that I had posted on http://interplanar.proboards23.com . What I want to do, though, is to yoink the poems I have at home that I had to do for my creative writing class in high school. ^^; Granted, a lot of those are of me being either angsty, or pining for a girl who was straight, which I thought was rather unfortunate at the time.
Oh yes. I also had a poem requested from :devwerechibi: - a friend o' mine from back home in VA. XD How would ya'll like to read a ballad about an epic battle between the llama calvary and the gnome brigade? For some reason, my mind plays a funnier version of what could have been seen for Sidhe Beg Sidhe Mor. Ja.... <<; I have issues. Don't mind me. I'm currently livin' off of a two hour nap.

Starting the 100 drawing test.. sort of
Posted 19 years agoWell, not in drawing, yet. I want to get all 100 poems finished, first.
You see, thanks to RaveWolf, I've decided to test myself by doing a two stepper thingy. First I'm coming up with 100 poems. Then I'm going to draw pictures to go with said poems. The poems, however, will not appear until I submit the deviations.
And, of course, this will be on the back burner. @@ I'll finish everything I owe people first before I start. <<; So this could take a while... At least writing poems doesn't take too much time away in the day.

Back Injury
Posted 19 years agoWanna know somethin' that really sucks? Some how managing to either tear or otherwise injure a ligament in your back. It hurts like fucking hell. I can't really move much of my upper body without wanting to curl up in pain and pretending the world doesn't exist. However, when attempting to do so once I ended up screaming in pain.
Yeeeeeeeeea... This really fucking sucks. I also had t' end up callin' my tutor kids and cancellin' anything set for t'day because when I was just standing I felt like crying.
What was I doin' to manage something this stupid and painful? No clue. I -think- I was stretching. Maybe I was cracking my back. All I remember after snugglin' with the GF is that my back was screaming bloody murder.
Accordin' to Jim I have a slight bruise right in the center of all this pain. I doubt I'm really gonna be doin' any other work besides school related until this goes away. Until then... eheh. Life is really gonna suck.

Sushi is my current god
Posted 19 years agoYes, it most definately is. And, apparently, I do a good job at makin' it on my own. So, last night I made some sushi for me, Ray and Emi. o.o Did you know that putting sweet azuki beans into a rice ball makes for a most excellent dessert type rice ball? ^^ Same thing with apples. <<; I like experimenting. Eheh.
o.o I was complimented on makin' the sushi, too. ^^ So apparently I'm some sort of awesome figure in Ray's eyes - I make sushi AND coffee. Woot. Shame I can't have any of the coffee, tho. *sigh* I want my decaf!! ><
Yeeeeeeeeea. I'm a wee bit too awake for a mornin' class... maybe I shouldn't have had the tea....

Wee! Today was fun!
Posted 19 years agoYush! I met Cesarin the White Dragon today. ^^ It was a lot of fun walkin' around downtown Pittsburgh and playin' tourguide. <<; I may have lived here for about 2-2 1/2 years, but there are still some things I don't know... and I get lost easily. Eheh....
<<; I think I was a horrible tourguide. ^^; Still, I thought it was fun. ;p Even if there was a lot of silence I didn't mind. ^^; I tend to say a lot of stupid, pointless things if I talk too much. Eheh.
Anyways, to those attendin' AC, enjoy Pittsburgh, avoid dark creepyish areas at night (such as the Strip District. It gets scaaaaaary at night), and have lot's o' fun!

On a lighter note...
Posted 19 years agoThings are lookin' up. I get to give my first tour tomorrow. <<; Warning, tho, I'm a shy lynxy. Eheh.
Also I did well with two of my finals. Before turnin' them in I had an 89 in both classes. Wee!
The three other finals will be okies as well. One is just texturin', one is animatin', and the last one is just a test. Weeee!
Only three more days until the quarter is over. *huge sigh of relief* Thank the gods. I'm so burnt out from this quarter that the three week break is lookin' reeeeeeeeeeally good.

Seems like a long friendship is coming to an end...
Posted 19 years agoI seem to be under a lot of it lately, and it's not from school. Remember the rant about not being able to do anything right? Apparently the roomie really agrees with that and doesn't mind voicing her opinion to friends of ours. However, these "friends" seem to be more loyal to her and won't really say a thing to me.
Last Friday I lost my keys. That night I couldn't sleep well. I woke up exhausted and I was in serious pain thanks to my period. By the end of my tutorin' session with Janet I could not for the life of me remember the two classes I had that day. When I stepped out of the building to walk home I realized I didn't hear the jingle of my keys. It took me a while to realize I hadn't heard it for a long time. I thought I was a moron and left them at home when I ran back in to check for them. Luckily for me Jim was already waiting for me when I got to the apartment. I went to check the apartment, tho, to pray that the roomie was there. She wasn't - Fridays are date night for her and her mate.
So, in tears of frustration I went home with Jim. I -finally- got a hold of the roomie Friday night when she got home and we made plans to meet at the apartment at some point so I could get some clothes and my school stuff.
Fast forward to me waiting. Apparently she and a "friend" of mine were talking trash about me, Jim, and Em on their way up. Seems as if they didn't notice that their car was sitting there. That is until Jim heard his name, turned around, and caught the "friend's" eye when he moved to get out of the car. He didn't, but she blanched a li'l, accordin' to him, and immediately shut up. The roomie, however... yea.. *sigh*
I guess when they were out of earshot the "friend" started to talk again. The only reason I assume this is because they were talking about me when they got off the elevator. The entire time I was in their presence I could feel that they really didn't like me anymore.
Seriously, I don't know what I did wrong. I stopped being so "emo" around them (they said I acted like that and a total bitch toward them last quarter when I started to date Em and Jim), and treated them like friends again. However, this quarter it felt as if they both walked all over me.
I'm really just sick of it. I'm at the point where I don't care at all if I ever see them again. Maybe then this stress I feel will go away once I'm in a better atmosphere. Maybe I won't have those horrible breakdowns anymore and contemplate jumping from a tenth story balcony. Maybe my life will actually seem much better without those two.
Sure, we had some great times together. Things changed, tho. Sad that a girl known for 17 years and considered her a best friend for those years is starting to be viewed this much of a pain.
I'm probably as much a pain to her as she is to me. Oh well. Shit happens and some things are just meant to be left in the past and never looked at again.

Finals will be the death of me
Posted 19 years ago;p Not really. However, I do hate it when somethin' takes so bloody long t' render. @.@
At least after this all I need t' do it toss the targas into After Effects and render it out. I just hope that I can remember what I need to for class so I don't muck things up.
Lessee now... Work that needs to be done
Digital Compositing (due week 11)
--compile everything in After Effects and tweak
--render
Advanced Texturing (due week 11)
--unwrap character
--texture character
Web Animation (due week 11)
--animate
Advanced 3D modeling
--making my head talk to scene from reboot (due week 10)
--find a live action movie in which to use her to yap in (due week 11)
On top of that, I need to finish packing, make sure my side of the room isn't a wreck for when the roomie's 'rents come over to help move her stuff this weekend. More than likely I'll take a lot of stuff home with me to VA, and just bring back what I know I'll need. I -could- end up havin' mum and da take me over to Em's and Jim's so I can drop some things off there next Friday.
On the 17th I will -hopefully- have my driving improvement class and get my liscense back. ><; It reeeeeeeally sucks that I don't at the moment. I hate having to rely on others for rides, no matter how dependable they are. On the bright side I can at least walk everywhere here in Pittsburgh at the moment. However, once I move in with Em and Jim I can't very well do that - they live about 11 miles away from the school. At least in VA I can get around on a bike if need be...
I do want to get a bus pass, too. That way if either of them or out roomies can't bring me to AIP I can snag a ride on a bus. For some reason, tho, I don't really like the sound of that...
Anyway, plans for home will hopefully include the continuation of the Star Wars RPG. That, however, is entirely up to the GM's tolerance of me. *eyeroll* That's unlikely. Also, there will be much swimming since my aunt has a pool. o.o I hope that the hot tub is workin' now. *crosses her fingers* Of course, there will be the doctor's appointments, as well as a hair appointment. *looks at her mane* 'eesh. Long hair is annoyin' as hell. I can't see how Em stands it. There will be hangin' out with friends. >) I get to inflict them with my bread. Mwahaha. ;p With as big of a hit it is here I shouldn't be too worried. Oh yea.. I'll also be workin' on my portfolio as well... Oh fuckin' joy.
As for any other plans... I'll just make 'em up as I go.
At least after this all I need t' do it toss the targas into After Effects and render it out. I just hope that I can remember what I need to for class so I don't muck things up.
Lessee now... Work that needs to be done
Digital Compositing (due week 11)
--compile everything in After Effects and tweak
--render
Advanced Texturing (due week 11)
--unwrap character
--texture character
Web Animation (due week 11)
--animate
Advanced 3D modeling
--making my head talk to scene from reboot (due week 10)
--find a live action movie in which to use her to yap in (due week 11)
On top of that, I need to finish packing, make sure my side of the room isn't a wreck for when the roomie's 'rents come over to help move her stuff this weekend. More than likely I'll take a lot of stuff home with me to VA, and just bring back what I know I'll need. I -could- end up havin' mum and da take me over to Em's and Jim's so I can drop some things off there next Friday.

Since there seems to be no more voting...
Posted 19 years agoHere are the results:
1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 6
5. 8
6. 8
For those confused by the high numbers, I had this posted on my devart account as well as my sheezyart account.
So, it looks like I'm gonna be doin' either five or six. <<; I may just do three because the button ideas I had for it are fun.
opt 1 =.= rollover text would be "Ignore the prick"
opt 2 >.> ? rollover text would be "turn around"
O.O; - rollover text would be "OMGWTF?!"
>.< X - rollover text would be "Pissed!"
*shifty*
I'd still have the >.< X button for the "Smash!" option on six.
For those of you who voted for the other ones, don't worry. I actually plan on doing all of them in the future.
Ah well... I'm off to work on homework now.
Yay for 3D classes... ><;;;

I need your help ASAP
Posted 19 years agoI need you to choose one of the following scenarios. I'm gonna need an answer of some sort by Friday at the latest. Some of these are kinda like the choose your own adventure books...
1. The Cross-dressing Tailor
Lexia - pic ref http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16804519/ - shows a downward angle; close up of her working on a dress that someone is in. After accidentally jabbing herself with the needle, she reaches for a thimble. However, she can't seem to find it. Before she can react someone taps her shoulder - it's the girl she's working on. With a grin she offers Lexia the thimble.
2. Come Weary Travelers
Vayu [kid] - pic refs http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33917835/ and http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19065192/ (just imagine her at the age of eight) Vayu's sitting in a grove on a stump playing her flute. A shadow is seein in the foreground and it turns out to be an elf. [choose either to stop playing or ignore]
Ignore - Vayu continues to play as the elf gradually creeps closer. Soon he's within arms length of her and he blinks. Suddenly Vayu pokes him and grins kinda like "got'cha!" The elf yelps, falls on his backside and scrambles away before poofing in a cloud of smoke.
Stop playing - She looks around before looking at the shadow. He looks quite surprised. He then hides behind the tree he was near and disappears in a poof of smoke.
Ending - Vayu quirks an eyebrow and shrugs before going back to playing her flute.
3. Don't Mess with Me
Vayu [adult] - pic refs http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33917835/ and http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19065192/ Vayu enters a shifty like bar and sits at the barstool at the end. She orders a drink just as someone taps her on the shoulder.
[opt 1] Ignore - she throws her hand back and punches the guy in the face. He drops to the ground
[opt 2]Turn around - She turns to face this stranger only to get a knife to her neck
Are you startled or pissed?
Startled - She seems a little startled at first and that causes the theif to grin... before she turns
Pissed - Not just any pissed - the "I wanna kill you" pissed. She grabs the would be thief's neck and strangles him. He drops.
[opt 1 comes to here] She turns back around to enjoy her drink. Another person taps her shoulder. She starts to get pissed, but turns around to see that it's a different person, and he's offering the knife that the would be thief had on him. She grins, takes it and salutes the guy with it. Then she turns back to her drink.
4. Sugar Baby Love
Xeras and Sha'rei - pic ref http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16358735/
Overhead there are a few shooting stars in the night sky. The camera pans down. Xeras is sitting on a blanket that's on a hillside. Sha'rei walks over to her. Xeras pats the blanket and smiles up at her. Sha'rei sits and they cuddle. They look lovingly at each other before kissing
5. Got Fish?
Kiara and Leanon - pic ref http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20831531/
Leanon is walking down a street in Steam City with her trusty salmon following. After a few steps her hat moves. The salmon goes to look at it. Kiara pops out from under the hat and pounce/tackles the fish (the hat stays on Kiara's head). Leanon chuckles and shakes her head. Kiara spits the salmon out of her mouth and hops up onto Leanon's shoulders and they continue on their way.
Forget something?
[opt 1] Yes - The silohette of Leanon stops and turns around before beckoning the screen. The salmon shakes it's head before flying after it's mistress.
[opt 2] No - Leanon walks off. Camera cuts to the salmon on the pavement (it looks a li'l like x.x )
-Only if it's alright with Laura will I do this.
6. Elf Smash!
Litus - pic refs http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/28669400/ and http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/14961901/
Litus is sitting on the steps in a dungeon like place - it looks like she was resting. She stands and walks over to a crystal ball.
[opt 1] Read
She tilts her head as she concentrates on the ball. The ball reads "j00 h4v3 b33n h4xx0red" or a Blue Screen of Death. [it automatically goes to option after this]
[opt 2] Smash
Her right hand glows as she goes to punch it. When she hits it nothing happens, but her hand hurts.
Getting angry she goes to punt the pedestal the crystal ball is on. This, like the punch, only hurts her. She holds her foot as she hops around in pain. She doesn't notice that she's hopping toward the stairs and she trips on them.

Why worry?
Posted 19 years agoSo this quarter is goin' pretty well for me. I have been gettin' everything done on time class wise. The project involvin' the penguins seems like it's gonna be my longest project.
What I have done:
Scene is
-textured
-camera matched
-shadow matched
Penguin
-penguin's general movement
-wings animated as it waves at the kitsune and the seal
-wings animated as it flails when the seal grabs it
-penguin looking up at the seal
Seal
-it's boned so it can move
-looks at penguin on it's first stop
-continues to watch penguin
-the "grabbing" of the penguin
What needs to be done
-build a dummy bowl
-build a dummy kitsune
-animate penguin's feet walking
-have the beak hit the kitsune after the seal is finished with it
@.@; I have just come to a realization.
Advanced 3D Modelling...
-Need to make the morph targets on the head.
<<; Maybe I can get two people in the class to help me out a bit on that... eheh.
As for the other classes, finals have yet to really be announced. I know that we're doing a "create your own adventure" type animation for Web Animation, and I hafta texture a humanish model for Advanced Textures. Oh joy.

I can't do anything right... -rant-
Posted 19 years agoAt least in the eyes of my roomie. Just a few more weeks tho, and she'll be gone, as will I.
Wanna know what happened? Well, lately I've been baking bread and giving some of the loaves to friends. I figured home made bread makes a nice gift to people that are in college.
Well, the roomie comes home and asks why I baked bread. Duh. I wanted to. How many loaves? Five. She starts to freak out. Two of the real small ones, and the three larger tins. That's as many bread tins as we have. She doesn't like the fact that I do it and doesn't seem to understand why I do it. Then she procedes to do dishes and puts some stuff away, slamming the drawers as she does so. She said something along the lines of that she was glad she didn't have to buy staples all the time (I told her I was goin' to the store tomorrow to buy flour and sugar since we're out of them. I had planned this after I made the bread earlier today anyway)
What really pissed me off was that she acts like she buys the food for the apartment all the time. Does she? Tch, hells no. We go to walmart and I buy all the food (grams gave me a walmart card to do this with). She pays for the non food items we both use as well as stuff she just uses. Granted, this past time I couldn't use my card because I went a few dollars over without realizin' it. She didn't seem to mind then.
You know, I could understand her being pissed at me if she had a li'l more reason to. Maybe I'm missing something but I really don't know what it is. I just can't seem to do a fuckin' thing right in her eyes... I'll be glad when this quarter is over. Then we'll be out of each other's hair and we'll both be saner.

Strange Happenings
Posted 19 years agoOkies. I was yappin' about graduation with Ruth and Mako the other night and it turns out that I'll be gettin' outta here a quarter earlier than Ruth. ~.= This sorta has me goin' WTF since we came here at the same time, and she had more credits than I did. I looked at the GAD class list and it's no longer than the MAA list. o.o; What happened? I am confuzzled.
In other news, finals are comin' around. @.@ oy vey.
Digital Compositing: 5-10%% complete
Advanced 3D: Model 75% complete
As for the other three finals, they have yet to be handed out. For that, I'm thankful.

I have a web page!
Posted 19 years agoAnd here's the link for it. http://stu.aii.edu/~jmr159/Homepage.....home-page.html
@.@ Oy vey. Head... hurts. Paaaaaaaain...
I spent three fucking hours trying to get the site to work. So why don'cha all check it out and lemme know what ya think?
For the record, there is not a lot of stuff on there at the moment. The student ftp thingy only allows us 5 Mb. Yeeeeea... I'm lookin' into the thing that http://Kassil.deviantart.com linked me. However, I may just end up payin' for a domain name.
<<
>>
More than likely it'll be http:// www. jessrotzi . com
And now this cat is gonna rest. @.@ I think I sorta deserve it.

I live.. I think.....
Posted 19 years agoYea. I just haven't been coming here too terribly often lately. It's mainly because of the lag I get when browsing. Seriously, it shouldn't take ten minutes to clear out one page of submissions...
Things have been going well as of late. Broke up with the one guy and life has gotten much happier. After next quarter I'm moving out of the "dorms" that AIP has given us and moving in with my new mates.
Currently I'm waiting on a doctor's call... I highly doubt I'm getting that, so I'm going to call them around nine-ish... Gods, I wish that they would have called so I wouldn't worry...
<<; Maybe I'm giving away too much personal life here... then again, it's never stopped me before.. yeeeea..
Alrighty, then. The Rotzi is over and out for now. Take care, guys.

To those who found my last piece offensive...
Posted 20 years agoI apologize. I was not directing it at anyone, really. The Advent Christian in the comment was my ex.
I know that not all Christians try to convert others, and that they respect other people's religions. However, my ex-mate did not and I believe that the day I did this was probably the third time he tried to convert me after he had promised me he wouldn't any more. I wanted an outlet of the anger I was feeling so I did a really sketchy thing in photoshop. When I typed up the description it was also an outlet to my anger.
The piece is now down, and my anger that brought it to be has long subsided.

Don't piss off the imps....
Posted 20 years ago......
Ruth just now opened her diet tonic water. It was opened once already, mind you. However, WITH NO OUTSIDE INFLUENCE... the bloody thing exploded all over me, Ruth, her comp, two blankets, and two dog beds. I'm surprised my compie escaped the wrath of the tonic water.
Yeeeeeeea.. Don't piss of the house imps. They cause things to go explodie.
