My cute pet  sueboo is holding an auction to have a date or night (or date night) with any of her characters! Winner gets to choose which character and the scene. Details and bidding can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6576128/

I know it's a little early, but my sweet pet  sueboo bought me a Halloween icon from  pixelhoot so I figured I might as well use it. =3

Got a new icon by  shadowfoxnjp =3

TL;DR version at the bottom.

As some of you know, I've been suffering from depression for several years. First diagnosed in 2006, but probably had it longer than that. Been on meds for a few years, but still been having problems with stuff frequently.

Anyway, Saturday evening, I was at an event at my local church, where a duet of sisters were singing. One of them talked about how she had suffered from depression for years, but was prayed for and was cured. I spoke to her after, told her my story as it was similar, and the two of them took me aside and prayed with/for me, that my depression would go. Well, I believe that their prayers were answered: I've felt ten times better since that evening than I have for many years! My mood has lifted, I've been feeling energised and enthusiastic and many other positive feelings and emotions I haven't really encountered for a long time.

Also, I have given up video games for Lent. I realised I have been playing them a lot (too much), and this will be giving me a lot more time to do other things.

As a result of no depression and no video games, I will be getting more things done that I should have been doing. I'm already done more towards finding a new job today than I had for weeks. I'm also going to do some more housework and finally unpack and sort out my stuff from when I moved into this place (still got many boxes of things untouched since I moved last May). Once I find my art supplies (sketchbooks, sketching pencils, Wacom tablet), I will also start drawing again, so expect to actually see some art by me in my gallery before too long!

If I draw enough of my own art, and deem it good enough, I may create a separate account and post it there instead of here, keeping this account for just the art of my characters that others draw.

Anyway, I think I've said enough for now. Thank you to those who have actually bothered to read the whole thing. Love you guys. <3

TL;DR: Depression gone! No video games for Lent. Art likely to follow, possible new account to go with it. :3

My lovely pet bought us a different linked icon set, this time with a male butt for Chimo rather than genderbended. Done by the wonderful  myett-wrath







Love it, thank you Sue! <3

This advertisement I just saw on TV. Just wow. I can't believe they aired this!

Just thought I'd give anyone interested a quick update.

I have a few commissions I'm still waiting on, and possibly some more art in my archives to be uploaded, but otherwise I may not be uploading much for a while. I've been spending more than I intended to on art, and I'm now out of a job for the moment anyway. My contract ended on Saturday 4th January and, contrary to what I expected, they didn't renew it. I was told their staffing budget has been slashed. So I will be trying not to buy any more art at least until I get a new job. On the other hand, it means I have more time to catch up on my backlog of notifications (I am determined not to use the nuke button), though it's tempting to spend my not-job-hunting time playing video games and watching TV/movies.

 ~Popcorn_Panic~ has two lovely YCH Christmas poses up for auction, both of them without bids yet and only 2 hours left (auction ends 5PM EST). Please bid, they're worth it: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12226669

I don't really do the whole "sharing my feelings with everyone" thing, but today I just feel the need to vent. I fell out with my best friend last night, and again today. It all started because she told me she met up with an old friend, who was smoking weed, and she had a couple of puffs. I'm totally against drugs, but didn't really say anything, but she could tell I wasn't happy so dragged it out of me. When I told her off, she told me not to be so judgemental, etc.

Then today it kind of continued, though this time over something else. I don't want to go into the details, but she in response she brought up something I told her in confidence years ago, which I stopped doing shortly after. I think it's been about 5 or 6 years at least since then. The long and the short of it is, though, we're not talking for the moment and now I'm finding myself dwelling on things and being super-unproductive.

I'm going to go out and watch The Hunger Games: Catching Fire tonight, which should hopefully cheer me up. Otherwise, I can feel myself slowly spiralling back into the depression I've fought so hard this year to get out of. I'm currently wanting to curl up in a ball and do nothing, but I need to leave to meet my sister for the movie in about half an hour.

TL;DR: Fallen out with best friend, brought up bad memories, feeling shitty, hoping Catching Fire will help cheer me up.
