Where are you coming from?
π Volusia County, FL
Means of transportation:
π Riding with Bobkitty
Hotel you're staying at:
π The main hotel :D
What day are you getting there?
π Thursday afternoon at some point, probably!
What days are you going to be at the con?
πFrom Thursday afternoon to Monday morning.
Who will you be rooming with?
π
lexxibun
babydrake
bobkitty
Who will you be with throughout the con?
π I never really sit still unless I'm sore or tired, so I'l lbe all over the place. If I'm not with Bobkitty, Colby or Lexxi then I'll be at various panels :D
What suit(s) will you be bringing?
π I'll be bringing Ashes of course!
What do you look like?
π 5 ft 2 or so and I've got naturally brown, though really short hair. I plan on trying to dye it ahead of time so it'll be blue again! Aside from that, I'm not a very small person and I don't generally move fast.
Do you do free art?
π Unlikely. I don't draw fast and I dont draw well on paper.
Do you do trades?
π Not currently unless it's someone who already knows they can always trade with me.
Do you do commissions?
π Before the convention, yes! I'll be posting some badge YCHs soon. During the con, no.
Do you do badges?
π See above!
What panels will you be attending?
π A few probably! Mostly all the writing panels I think, the transfur panel (I'm not exactly trans but I'm nonbinary), little fur meet...
Are you in any panels?
π Yeah! I'm hosting my own writing panel this year. 3:30 pm on Sunday afternoon - Creative writing Tips & Tricks. I'm SUPER nervous about it so please be nice if you come!
What is your gender/pronouns?
π Agender, they/them for most people. A few select use she/her and I don't mind it from them.
Taken?
π Yep 8 years or so with Bobkitty.
Can I talk to you?
π Sure, but I'm not the most talkative person sometimes. Nothing against people I'm just weirdly awkward about socializing.
Can I touch you?
π If you know me already, hugs are fine. Cuddles from anyone who isnt a close friend (you know who you are without having to ask) makes me cringe. Dont take me by surprise, don't startle me. Pleaseee.
Can I buy you a drink?
π An energy drink maybe, but I don't drink alcohol.
How can I find you?
π Twitter and Telegram @silapup ! Otherwise just look for the blue hair.
Will you be dressed for the Megaplex theme?
π I WISH. But I dont have anything so no not really.
Will you have a Megaplex-themed badge?
π At least one, maybe two or more!
Best way to reach me:
π Twitter or telegram @silapup
Main reason for going:
π I've been going every year for several years now and it's my only real time to be 'me'. Plus I get to see a lot of my friends!
Can you have dinner with me/go to X place with me outside the con?
π Not unless I'm also going with Bobkitty. I don't leave the con space / hotel space without him. Ever.

Update for commissioners
Posted 8 years agoHey all! Now that life is starting to get back to normal for me, sorta, I'm going to pick back up on my commissions that are owed.
You can view your piece's progress and your place in line here:
https://trello.com/b/JduNZNaj/commission-queue
No guarantees I'll be streaming these anytime soon, I'm still having some issues with our internet being spotty. I've lost service four or five times in 24 hours ish already and they just say they're working in the area. Sigh.
Since there wasn't much interest in the back to school YCH itself, I might start working on some Halloween/Fall ideas soon after these are done.
Halloween is so my favorite holiday so I'll be trying to have several ideas open, and hopefully also soon get an updated price sheet guide for everything non-YCH!
Thanks for your patience guys. Irma was annoying, a lot of panic and worry, and then three days of annoyance with no power/internet. But it's over, and fingers crossed the rest of the season leaves us alone.

Safe but no power
Posted 8 years agoNo power and no generator so I'll be Mia until it returns.
But we're safe. No house damage just some downed trees and some power lines.

Hurricane Irma
Posted 8 years agoSince it's coming straight our way....I will probably be out of power for a little while I imagine.
I will update on Twitter and, with close friends, on Discord how things are going. I'll check in when I can remember to. I've got all devices charged already, charging all the battery packs, and we're about as ready as we can be minus needing some batteries.
The package with our batteries is delayed in Longwood :/ So that might be a bit of time. We'll see.
Boarding up the windows tonight..

What would you like to see for YCH ideas?
Posted 8 years agoSeptember is near, and that means the start of fall for some people.
What kind of ideas do you like for autumn/fall? Things like jumping in leaf piles, later on towards the year of course there's halloween - but what else?

Missed out on a YCH you liked?
Posted 8 years agoI'm retiring all of the currently available YCHs at the end of August, so now is the time to think about getting one if you still wanted one!

All information is found above in that submission. Comment there, here, or note me if interested or if you have questions c:
I'm also going to be working on a new price sheet guide for all sorts of commissions, ranging from ref sheets to icons and badges!

Updates and megaplex!
Posted 8 years agoA proper post-con report will follow eventually when I'm not so tired.
I had a great time, there's some things that could have gone better, but we always learn from the past year.
To those I owe commissions to: I will be getting back to work later this week once I've regained some energy and gotten into my routine again!

Megaplex!
Posted 8 years agoWhere are you coming from?
Central FL
Means of transportation:
Bobkitty drivin' us.
Hotel you're staying at:
Overflow hotel - Wyndham suites or something like that.
What day are you getting there?
Hopefullly thursday.
What days are you going to be at the con?
Thursday through sunday, maaayybe monday. Hopefully.
Who will you be rooming with?
Bobkitty, Kili, Don, Clow, Drakey (da sheepie) and Clow's friend.
Who will you be with throughout the con?
Ummmm myself. Because I'm like that unsupervised toddler wandering around everywhere all day every day. I will sometimes be accompanied by one of my friends, or Bobkitty, or I might randomly go and bug someone at the dealer's den, artists alley, at a panel...
What suit(s) will you be bringing?
The only one I have - Ashes! I'm going to pick out some outfits just for him this time, and try to make some slight fixes to it to make it easier to wear.
What do you look like?
5 ft 2, chubby and clumsy! I will have my hair dyed bright blue yet again, cut short, and looking as androgynous as possible.
Do you do free art?
Not necessarily unless I feel up to it. Especially no if you ask.
Do you do trades?
Maybe. I'm not that great at art (in my own opinion) but if someone's patient enough then that'd be great.
Do you do badges?
I will be doing badges before the con, stay tuned for a journal/submission about it!
What panels will you be attending?
Definitely going to the babyfur panel. Looking forward to the Pagan panel too - I'm quite interested in it, even if I don't follow it in practice. After that will just be whatever catches my interest.
Are you in any panels?
Nope!
What is your gender/pronouns?
Agender, and I prefer they and them but i will not be upset or offended if you go by she/her either. Just refrain from calling me a "little girl", lady or woman and we're all good.
Taken?
Yup of course.
Bobkitty and I for like 7 years...
Can I talk to you?
Sure! I'm pretty shy and bad about talking to people but I do like to, and I do want to make friends.
Can I touch you?
Not without knowing me first. I don't do head pats from random people, I don't do hugs from random people. if you tickle me, prepare to be punched and or kicked, and or elbowed. No matter who you are...I don't do tickles. >_<
How can I find you?
Twitter @silapup, telegram @silapup, if you have my phone number you can text me. I don't do phone calls unless it's an emergency. (Too hard to hear during the con anyway!)
Otherwise just look for the short person running around with bright blue hair, wearing t-shirts with jeans, or argyle vests.
Will you be dressed for the Megaplex theme?
No, I couldn't get into the theme that much.
Will you have a Megaplex-themed badge?
I dont know yet. Maybe if I have time to make one..
Best way to reach me:
Twitter: Silapup
Telegram: Silapup
Or look for me in person. Again - blue hair.
Main reason for going:
Its my home con! I cant miss it for anything. I have been saving up desperately for the con for a year or more now. I'm still saving up too. I want to see my friends and I want to get a break and be little and be myself for once. It's my only chance all year, every year.
PS: My birthday is this month! o.o It came up too fast. July 16th. >.>

Posted 8 years agoAlive, yes. Quiet, yes. I tend to do this. I've not had much to say around FA for a while, I'm on twitter somewhat often at least.
I've not had a tablet for about a year now, I can't remember how long ago I broke the stylus. But I've not been able to afford to replace it since it's like $70.
Luckily a good friend is being super generous and helping me out, so I'll be able to get back into things again.
I want to eventually get into doing commissions again, I do kinda miss doing art for other people and seeing what ideas people come up with. But I need to get my own obsessions and ideas out first, and then see how I go.
Bob and I might do collabs though! I like digital coloring and linearting.
In other news, I'll be at Megaplex 2017 again this year. Rooming with Kili and Drake da sheepy, and of course Bob.
I'll be around, and who knows what I'll be doing. Other than stalking down friends and surprise-hugging them and then going back to being a recluse. Like hugging Gem. Also I have Grub's long lost brother I'll be trying to remember to bring too just for Gem.
My current obsession is Moana. I love the movie okay. T_T I keep listening to the music tracks over and over and over.
Like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keGr19WWwoA
I just love it okay. And I really want to draw myself in Moana's attire and like hanging onto the mast of the canoe and holding up a hand between the line where the sky meets the sea. Because something about how freeing that is really really hits me. The whole movie really gets me - being true to yourself despite what your family wants you to do.
Mehhhh. I suck at writing. c: Even though I do it constantly.

Testing the waters with cheap sketch commissions
Posted 9 years agoTrying to get back into drawing again, getting the hang of streaming and such too.
And since I want things in SL, I figured I'd try my hand at things again. If this becomes something I can regularly do, I'll try to do real commissions again and more frequently.
For now, I'm going to take 2 sketches at $8 each through paypal (or 2K lindens if you play SL)
They'd look like these http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21261317/
I prefer to draw cubs still, clean art but I can draw diapers and such if wanted. I'm all for drawing cute clothing though too.
I can/probably will end up streaming it too.
Comment here if you want one? :3 I'm really hoping to try this again. and if I can get going, we could really use the extra money.

Nonbinary or transgender people needing binders - read here.
Posted 9 years agoI was given four chest binders from lesmask, but they are all way too small for me.
https://www.yoycart.com/Product/42084098142/
This looks to be the brand, they clasp around the shoulders and around the front.
I have two black binders and two white ones and I'm giving them away if you can cover the shipping cost - I don't have the money to cover it myself otherwise I gladly would.
They're size XXL in their size charts, but from my personal experience they run small. Like, really small. Someone who is thin (like the models) would fit it best.

Size chart for XXL
You can send me a note if you'd rather talk about it in private.
If you get them and they dont fit you, just pass them along like I'm doing now~

*dusts this off* Megaplex info!
Posted 9 years agoI will be going yet again, with Bobkitty and Colby and hope to meet a bunch of friends again.
I'll be suiting sometimes, not sure how often since we're technically rooming in an overflow hotel and so it'll be harder to get in and out of suit more often.
Where are you staying?
Hilton hotel (overflow) with Colby
What day are you getting there/how long are you staying?
Thursday night, but we have no room plans until friday... So if anyone's got crashing space for thursday night that'd be helpful. Colby doesnt get there until friday and she owns the hotel room.
Who will you be rooming with?
Colby Hedgey and Bobkitty
Who will you hang out with during the convention?
Whoever I know. Mostly other babyfurs, or people who I'm already friends with. I roam a lot.
How is the best way to find you?
Look for me wandering around aimlessly, with my big blue-cased tablet in hand, or a backpack of some sort on my back. Likely holding sketchbooks and such. I should have my hair dyed blue by then too!
Hugs?
Only if I know you, and you give some sort of forewarning. Please no petting me or tickling me, no back rubs or any attempts at massages or anything. Touching is really uncomfortable for me if I'm not in a certain mindset. My friends know what to or not to do.
Are there any panels you might be attending?
I'll decide when I get there, but likely I'll attend ones about fursuiting and art. Generic, yeah? But I'm not one for games or big parties and stuff.
Will you be suiting?
Yup but I'm not sure just how much, as I said above I don't have a room in the main hotel so lugging around the suit will be more difficult.
What suits will you be wearing?
Ashes, still!
How tall are you? Age?
About 5 ft 2 or 5 ft 3.
What do you look like?
Chubby androgynous person, hopefully with blue hair! Short, too. I'll have my hufflepuff scarf at most times, paired with my badges.
Can I talk to you?
Sure, but I'm bad at talking to people if I don't know them to an extent. If we dont have anything in common to talk about it's even harder for me. I can talk forever about pokemon go or Harry Potter though! Or secondlife RPing. Easy.
Can I touch you?
Not unless I know you. Even then, keep it clean, appropriate, and friendly. No tickling or sneaking up behind me or stuff like that. I'm jumpy and I'm known to swing when I get startled. Ask bobkitty, he's suffered a few punches to the nuts and nose for it.
Can I visit your room?
It isnt my room, it's Colby's. So it's up to her, but in any case it's an overflow hotel so no need.
Can I buy you drinks?
Don't know why you'd want to. But if you insist, soda or water is fine as long as it's pre-sealed and not been opened.
Can I give you stuff?
Again, don't know why you'd want to?? But depending on what it is.. maybe. I'm really bad at accepting gifts and expressing the 'right' amount of gratuity without looking awkward or fake, even if I really really do appreciate things.
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
A hug is fine, but snuggling preferably not unless I already know you very well. You'll know who you are
Are you nice?
I try to be?
Do you have an artist table?
No, but if there's a casual artist alley place I might, MIGHT sit down to try and doodle.
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Call my name out, tell me who you are. Wave at me if I'm looking at you or in your direction. Don't sneak up behind me to tap me on the shoulder, I'll probably swing at you.
What/where will you be eating?
Whatever we can find and afford.
Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
If I offer you to come, then sure. If you're a random person, then think about it a bit.
Can I take your picture?
In suit, sure. Out of suit, preferably not unless we're in groups with friends and you ask.
What's your goal(s) for the cons this year?
To have fun, to meet
charu, to suit a bit.
I'll be suiting sometimes, not sure how often since we're technically rooming in an overflow hotel and so it'll be harder to get in and out of suit more often.

Though I'm not necessarily feeling this right now (I tend to listen to music that doesn't reflect my moods , often). I've felt like this quite a bit. And wanted to share. This is especially true to those who deal with depression, anxiety, etc. You feel like you're suffering alone, even more so when no one sees you struggling, or they think you're just doing it for attention or what not. This applies to Bob and I both sometimes, I feel.
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care
What I'm feeling?
I wanna disappear
So nobody can hear
Me when I'm screamin'
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human
The night is bitter cold
I wonder if you know
That I'm sleepless
Waitin' like a ghost
When I need you the most
I go unnoticed
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human
The weight of the world is pullin' me down
(Where are you now, where are you now?)
Every breath feels like I'm gonna drown
(Where are you now, where are you now?)
I'm the only one left alone on this Earth
Singin' this song but can't find the words
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes

The past 4 months have been absolute hell on me.
Posted 12 years agoAnd this is going to be the truth as I ranted onto a friend about why I've had so much trouble with the commission I started. (And for the people too lazy to read everything- I AM working on it, and finally with a clear mind I'm making proper progress. I'm HOPING to get the hardest part done and over with soon. Promise!!! D:)
Anyway, I'm sure you guys have noticed I've detached from the community. Truth is, I hit a real bad rut with my depression and I couldn't get out of it. Every time I went to draw, I broke down crying because I couldn't break through the brick wall in front of me. I tried to pick up charcoals to release things- but I never got feedback which just further fueled the cycle. I was and still am in a sensitive spot. I desperately seek out and latch onto any sort of approval or compliments that I can get because stuff is so stressful around me.
I never got to see my SL sister like we planned to. Her mom had to get dental work due to the radiation/chemo ruining her teeth, and so the money that was raised to bring me over (I was raising money to bring Bobkitty with me) was used on that instead.
And then we almost lost our house because my mom's hours got cut to below part time, and the unemployment system was broken and wouldn't let us apply. For 2 months. My mom was desperately needing my help to apply to jobs, and every time I did and ran into issues on my own we both broke down. We weren't in a good spot emotionally. It was hard. It still IS hard.
On the online side of things, I lost my SL family after being with her for about 6 months. We were close friends, but she chose to replace us with someone else and be happy with her new family. We (me, bob, and Mickie) chose to leave so we would be happier elsewhere and not walk on eggshells any longer. She isn't a bad person- but we weren't a good match. And it hurt to let go like that.
As if all that wasn't enough, I had people all over SL secrets claiming I was a scammer. Which only further fueled the depression and deepened the rut I was in. No matter how many times I tried to prove I didn't just run off with the money and instead I had to turn it over to pay for the electric bill, I was still bombarded with rumors. And it hurt- bad.
Through all this time I tried my damnedest to pick up the pencil and draw. To pick up the tablet and draw. But each time I did I broke down crying again because I couldn't do it. I couldn't draw a muzzle right ,I couldn't get the ears right. I couldn't get the pose to look good or the eyes to look alright . It was coming out a mess every time I re-drew it.
So I went onto SL and buried myself nose deep into roleplaying on a Harry potter sim, so I wouldn't fall so deep into depression. It was just a cover up, but finally- FINALLY after the holidays are over, after the drama has subsided, the brain fog and the shut down and the everything has finally cleared away- I'm realizing what I need to do. And that is start over, re-draw it all traditionally. I've picked up Bob's drawing table and I'm starting to draw- and I already have one of the characters completed.
You all know how I'm usually quick to turn around on my art, how I'm always quick to complete commissions as long as i don't forget about it. I am human, and I'm struggling. And the chances of me losing my insurance (and thus therapy) are very high right now, too. So I'm fighting with everything I can to stay afloat. I'm so sorry for the wait, but I really hope you all understand.
Once the sketches are complete and I'm happy with them ,i'll post the WIP and then I'll get the inking and coloring done immediately after.

Megaplex post con report!
Posted 12 years agoI'm finally back from megaplex and after 7 hours extra sleep, another hot bath and some food, I can finally keep my eyes open enough to write this!
Megaplex, like always, was amazing. This year everything seemed to run so smoothly. I love the new hotel! They were very friendly to us suiters and it was a very welcoming environment. I was also super glad that most of the place was CARPET! It made it so much easier on my feet after walking for hours and hours.
I won't be able to recap every day, too much happened and my memory is shot.
Thursday we got there and wandered around til we found Bolt and Kilion. I ran around and also found Skippy and Amberyn and a few others who I wanted to see. :D I wanted to suit up already but I waited until the bowling event and had a blast there too. It was a bit overwhelming for me, but I did my best. I ran around like a nut, bopping people on the head and hugging people. I tried to bowl a little bit but lost interest because I don't care for bowling much to begin with. I just liked to run around and bother people :D
We got back to the con later on and I don't remember what happened then. lol. I probably ran around in suit more, I was in suit a LOT during the con!
I honestly can't remember what I did on what day. I woke up early every day, got my butt up and suited and ran down to the con center and had a blast. I ran around and played around with people, I ran around the dealers den, I hung out in the artists alley. I went to a couple parties and went to the pool a couple times too. My favorite event of all is always the fursuit games. It's so much fun! I loved screwing around with the other suiters, dogpiling on top of them, everything.
I had way too much fun. I got to meet
Marinaneira
Babydrake
Tartii and quite a few others! I got to play around with Orlando who tried to eat my bear too D: I had a blast getting to know everyone. <3
Until next year! I can't wait for the next year's theme. It's going to be so much fun :D

We lost three very important men this weekend.
Posted 12 years agoI am very sad to say that most of these fatalities, if not all of them, could have been prevented this weekend during the Oklahoma tornadoes.
Three very important men were among the 14 causalities from the Oklahoma tornadoes this weekend. They were professional meteorologists and storm chasers, doing all this to save lives.
Storm chaser and meteorologist Tim Samaras, his storm chaser partner Carl Young, and his son Paul Samaras, were among the 14 people killed during those tornadoes. Tim Samaras was the founder of Twistex- a research experiment that was aimed to better understand tornado formation, the life cycles, and to measure the wind speeds along the ground during these tornadoes.
He designed, built, and deployed instrument probes to measure atmospheric variables such as pressure and wind in the path of tornadoes. Their goals were to help increase tornado warning lead times and also gather data so that we could design better and stronger buildings that can withstand these tornadoes. He and his team were some of the safest chasers out there, so this comes as a big surprise for all of us. He and his crew have saved countless amount of lives during the decades they chased these storms.
It's sad to say that this could have been easily prevented.
The roads were filled with people. There were at least 70 "storm spotters" out there on the road, not counting the novice chasers who don't understand the full danger or unpredictability of these storms. They had the roads clogged, making escape near impossible. The tornado was wrapped in rain, making visibility null and danger at an extreme. This tornado system also was extremely unpredictable and very fast moving. It took a sudden turn toward them and left them unable to get out of the way, picking up their truck and throwing it. There is a picture circulating around that shows their truck after it was found. It's unrecognizable. It's beyond sad that they lost their lives doing what they can to protect others.
The Weather Channel's crew was also on the road during that time. They foolishly got too close, spent too long watching it and didn't try to run sooner. Their SUV got picked up and thrown 200 yards away into a field. They were incredibly lucky to walk away with minor injuries.
A meteorologist on one of the news channels wrongly advised people to outrun the storm this time. The interstates were gridlocked- people could not escape. If the tornado had traveled across that road, we could easily be seeing death tolls into the hundreds.
If there's anything that people take away from this situation, please please know and truly understand just how dangerous it is to be inside a vehicle near a tornado. If you're in the path of one, and you aren't in a mobile home, find an interior room without windows and hide under sturdy furniture if you don't have a basement or storm cellar. A well built house can survive all but the strongest storms. Cars however can be damaged by the weakest of tornadoes and launched into the air like toys. Tractors and trucks are even more vulnerable to these winds. If you're stuck outside during a storm, get out of your vehicle and find the lowest lying area you can. Lay as flat as possible and hold on to whatever you can.
I'm sharing this because of how important it is to have the right information, to really know the strength of these storms on a deep level. So many people fall into complacency and then don't have an emergency plan set in place. So many people also don't know just how strong they can be on a person level.
The below images are of the two vehicles owned by professional meteorologists and storm chasers. It's extremely sad but also extremely important that people understand. I hope that this opens up a lot of eyes, especially to all the young storm chasers out there who don't know what they're doing. This could've been any or even all of them.
Warning: Graphic damage to vehicles. No human blood or even any signs of people in the images at all, but this was the truck of Tim Samaras and crew: https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho.....29864708_n.jpg
And this was The Weather Channel's SUV that got picked up and tossed:

We will forever remember the brave work these guys did to save thousands or maybe even millions of lives. Storm chasing won't ever be the same without them.

Signed up for megaplex finally!
Posted 12 years agoAll registered and ready to go. The next month will be all about getting my art ready, getting a new brush for my suit, and everything else!
Yayy. I need a badge for Ashes though. I have 2 right now, one from RainyDays and one from Tailbiter. I like to swap out at least one every year though, and get new ones to show off. So I might do an art trade for that.

Where am I, what am I up to, etc.
Posted 12 years agoLet's see how long I can go before I pass out n sleep. lol
Have any of you noticed I've been quiet/gone lately? I got tired of stuff. I got tired of babyfurs and their obsession with diapers. I'm a babyfur, yes, but i'm not OBSESSED with padding. i can go days without even -thinking- about it. let alone talking about it. It drives me up the walls to see people talk about it nonstop to everyone they talk to. Just saying.
I got tired of the baby talk outside of RP situations. It's just annoying and hard to read.
Most of all though, I got tired of not feeling appreciated. I tried to do my best for a long time, offering relatively cheap commissions and spending soo many hours on them for people. Some people were extremely grateful, and I appreciate those people. But a lot of others gave nothing more than a "Thanks", a fav, and went on with their day.
I'd draw something and spend forever on it, and then finally turn to someone for help. But I never got help, or critique, or opinions. I got "it's cute". I was trying to improve. I still want to.
I started drawing what made me happy. But then I started to lose everyone's interest it seems. It feels like if I don't draw a cub in diapers, I won't get views, favs, or comments. People won't even take the time out of their day to look at what I drew. Even if I colored it! My full colored pieces were getting nothing in comparison to other people's sketches, or even some of my older stuff. And no one told me why.
I would livestream for people, and get 2 people who would then go afk and never return. And no one told me why they wouldn't come.
So I've stopped drawing for now until I get my spark back. Until I get the creativity back.
Lately I've been in Secondlife creating things for my store there. Making outfits and stuff. Spending time with family and friends.
In real life, I'm trying to stay afloat. I'm working toward applying to SSI. I'm working toward getting official evaluations and diagnoses done for all the things I struggle with. I'm working toward getting to a better place where I'm not miserable.
I'm going to Megaplex as long as I can afford the $45 for the initial cost. A good friend of mine let us room with him with no money pressure, letting us pay him however much we can manage, and however long it might take. I have Ashes still, and I love him. I'd love to get more art of him before the con, but I don't have money to spare.
I'm currently -25 in debt because of my phone bill and a monthly service fee for my bank. I'm working on it though. Somehow.
I'm working on still looking into a service dog. Chances are high that I can get one within the next few years. and places can help with the fundraising and costs. I just need to convince my mom and show that I'm responsible and stuff.
It's 4:30 and my meds have made me sleepy. so I'm going to bed. I got a new haircut today! It reminds me of
Tailbiter when she got hers cut.

I didn't intend for it to come out like that. But I like it!
Nini all. Poke me if you still want me around. Reply and stuff. Your feedback means a ton to me.

Bringing in the new year with--
Posted 13 years ago--A cleaner gallery. I moved everything that I didn't like to scraps. Sketches, old artwork not up to my standards, etc.
--A cleaned watch list. I went through and removed a ton of inactive accounts.
Hopefully new shoes soon, which will reduce my hip/feet pain when I walk.
Starting a commission from Glenni
Doodling the kiriban prize
etc.
I spent New years eve camping, brought in the new year by a camp fire as I heard the neighborhood ring out in fireworks. It was quite fun and It's really relaxing to be out in nature like that. Away from phones, lights, t.vs computers etc. It's refreshing and I need to do it more often.
