Er, surprise?

My attention-span for names is notoriously short. This one wore out its novelty weeks ago. It just didn't quite stick, y'know what I mean?

This one should last quite a bit longer. Promise.

Alright, here we go~

Remember my last journal of emotastical emo? Yes, well, I finally got over myself and decided to actually do something about my money problems. I've been collecting babysitting jobs, doing little odd chores around the neighborhood, and I've forgone lunch a few times in favor of keeping the money (XD).

I'm also going to be selling artwork at the upcoming Cosplay Tea being held by Okage-Sama-De on the 28th of this month, and, of course, I'm OPENING COMMISSIONS.

:bulletgreen: Sketches - $3
:bulletgreen: Lineart - $5
:bulletgreen: Contour line - $7
:bulletgreen: Fully coloured - $10

:bulletgreen: Full background is an extra $5, additional characters are $2 each. If you want a different medium (such as acryllic, oil pastel, colour pencil instead of digital, etc) then send me a Note and we can talk details. Price can vary slightly depending on complexity, effort, materials, etc.

I'd really appreciate any help that you guys can lend.

There is one problem. Until my portfolio for AP Art is completed and mailed in, I'm not going to have much time to devote to anything else. IF you would commission me now, that would be fantastic, and I will love you forever and ever, but be warned that I won't be able to complete your piece until after May 10th.

After portfolios are in, however, commissions are the only thing I'll be focusing on~!

If you're interested, please Note me or comment on this journal. Any help you can offer is appreciated, even if it's only a sketch commission~

In other news, Jashin-chan has tagged me about a gajillion times in a gajillion things that I never responded to. I hardly ever respond to tags, but hey, I guess I owe her at least one, right?

If you comment....
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you which song or movie you remind me of.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wondered about you.
8. I'll tell you my favorite thing about you.
9. I'll tell you my least favorite thing about you.
10. If you play, you should post this in your journal (except I wouldn't make you do that, cuz it's freaking annoying... XD)

Oh, also, I totally posted this journal about commissions before Jashin-chan did..... >___>;

So, I have a little bit of a problem.

I need money. For several things, like the upcoming AP tests, a pair of shoes without holes, and for some more art supplies so that I can continue pushing out pieces for my portolio.

And, of course, Fanime. Yes, perhaps it's a bit of an priority issue, but I consider this cost the highest on my list (yes- even above shoes! XD). However, there are several different costs that are associated under Fanime. The ticket, the hotel room I'm splitting with my friends, and supplies for my cosplays, such as wigs, fabric, and ordered items.

This is assuming that my mom even let's me go to Fanime, but that's an entirely seperate issue.

The problem here being, I don't have any money. Only a little over one-hundred in my bank account. No job, and no one's hiring. The only person who owes me any significant amount of money has already told me that she can't pay me back until the summer. All the kids I used to babysit for have grown up, and there are no odd jobs available to me right now.

In short, I'm screwed.

I really, really don't know what to do here.

To make things worse, there are deadlines. AP test costs are due in two weeks. Everything Fanime should be done by the end of April, but probably sooner because I need to order things online.

So, in short, I have about... a month and a half to make about three hundred dollars.

Not counting shoes.

I'm so fucked.

:bulletgreen::bulletred::bulletblue::bulletpurple::bulletgreen::bulletred::bulletblue::bulletpurple::bulletgreen:

I'm sorry for just posting a journal of emo here. I just needed to write things out, so I'm totally clear on exactly how desperate I am right now.

And I had a damn shitty day.

That too.

Decided to update my journal and thus prove that I am alive and not dead, despite recent speculation of the latter.

Sorry, guys. It's not that I haven't been drawing- oh no. It's the freaking portfolio. I have about 16 weeks to turn out about 16 pieces, so I'm a little stressed right now.

Good thing I really love art- this would get really old, really fast if I didn't.

In the meantime, I'm also trying to fix up a bunch of older stuff for my friend, Pirateofurworld, finish my entries for both Hakoshi's and PlainYellowFox's contests, and edit the first episode of what might be a continuing video-blog series.

Anyways, I'll post a To-Do List sometime in the near future, because I really need to get my head straight with all I need to do.

In the meantime, here's this terribly amusing quiz I stumbled across. It probably wouldn't have been as much fun, if I hadn't taken it at three in the morning and decided to narrate it in a terribly overdramatic fashion. I tag all of you to do the same!! XD

:bulletgreen::bulletred::bulletblue::bulletpurple::bulletgreen::bulletred::bulletblue::bulletpurple::bulletgreen:

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc.)
2. Put it on shuffle and press play.
4. For every question, type the name and artist of the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.

Opening Credits:
Blue (The Birthday Massacre)
Now that's an interesting lead-in to my life.. O_o

Waking Up:
I'm So In Love With You (Basshunter)
So, apparently in this fictional, musical life, I wake up thinking about someone that I'm apparently deeply in love with. This'll be interesting.

First Day at School:
Absolute (Thousand Foot Krutch)
It is absolutely the first day of school! *nodnod*

Falling in Love:
Candy Mountain (Charlie the Unicorn)
Apparently, the person I fall in love with someone who goes to… candy mountain. I bet that just means they do drugs. I'm in love with a drugee?!!  D:

Fight Song:
Mr. Sandman (Unknown)
That's… a disturbingly happy song for a fight song. Maybe I didn't know I was in a fight, because I was too hopped up on "candy" I got from my illegitimate boyfriend. Yeah, that sounds right.

Breaking Up:
Something On My Mind (Hawk Nelson)
Ha! Take THAT you drug-addict! I'm getting help and moving on with my life, without you in it!

Prom:
Learn to Crawl (Black Lab)
Oh no! While dancing up a storm at prom to try and make my ex jealous, I fell down a flight of stairs and into a mosh pit, where they forced me to perform the CaramellDansen until my spine broke! Now, paralyzed from the waist down, I must learn to walk everywhere on my hands! Or crawl.

….I'm having way too much fun with this.


Life is Good:
Already Over (RED)
What a depressing song. Apparently, even at my highest points, my recent paralyzation has left me in a deep depression that no one can cure.

Mental Breakdown:
We Will Rock You (Queen)
*Le gasp!* My mind, weighted down by my continuing drug addiction, recent break up with my boyfriend, and injuries, finally snapped and threw me into a violent rage! Watch out, world!

Driving:
Bad Habit (The Offspring)
Oh, the irony, a song about road rage! XD (I didn't cheat, I swear!) Apparently in my quest to dominate the world, I'm starting with knocking little old ladies off of the highways.

Flashback:
Paint it Black (The Rolling Stones)
Ah, remembering how depressed I was just a few songs ago. Good times.

Getting Back Together:
Lie-Lie-Lie (DJ Ozma)
No! The drug-addict has sucked me back into a relationship with him… apparently by lying to me! Or perhaps this just means  our relationship is now full of lies. I dunno. I don't know the lyrics for this one, they're in Japanese. *face palm*

Wedding:
A Night on Bald Mountain (Fantasia 2000)
That's… creepy. O_o This is one of those few pieces of music that actually gives me the chills. I'm a little worried what my drugged-up fiancee is planning.

Paying the Dues:
Paralyzer (Finger Eleven)
Oh, of course! My medical insurance from the "prom incident" covers all of our bills.

Night Before War:
Together Forever (Pokemon Soundtrack)
Aww, perhaps the drugee didn't have anything planned after all! He just wanted to be together forever before we are both apparently shipped to the front lines. Even though I'm paralyzed, I will fight in this war! XD

Final Battle:
Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne)
Oh SNAP! As we were being shipped to the battlefield, our train was hit by a bomb and flew off of the tracks, throwing us into the middle of enemy lines! I was trapped and unable to walk, but my drug-addict husband risked his life to carry me on his back in the middle of enemy territory!

Moment of Triumph:
Wish You Well (Thousand Foot Krutch)
NUUUU! The drugee managed to carry me to safety, only to die minutes later from his own wounds! In my despair, I managed to OVERCOME my paralyzed-ness with PURE FORCE OF WILL and defeat everyone on the battlefield!

Death Scene:
Breath Into Me (RED)
Alas, even the defeat of all my enemies and the sudden restoration of my legs was not enough to overshadow my undying despair at the loss of the addict. With my final strength, I gave him CPR and transferred my life force into his, bringing him to life even as I died. He was able to live again and recover from his "candy" addiction.

Funeral Song:
Under Pressure (David Bowie and Queen)
OMFG DAVID BOWIE! I suppose my now-rich ex-husband hired him to sing at my funeral. Wasn't that nice of him! I had always wanted to see a Bowie concert!

End Credits:
Signing Emo (MC Lars)
In the end, the ex-addict/husband continued on to work at a major record company, singing out emo music to the masses to make himself a decent living.

The end.

Now go away.

And leave me in my shame.


XD

:new::new::new::new:

Happy New Year's everyone~!

:party:

Does anyone have any resolutions for the coming year? I actually do this time- just one that I'm going to keep private until I'm ready to share. But I'd love to hear what everyone else has thought up, if anyone is interested in sharing~!

In the meantime, I'm going to take a leaf from WiltingDahlia's book and give a shout out to all of the people that have touched me over the last year.

:bulletpurple:Emily~ My best friend since the fourth grade, I give all of my love to you, m'dear. Where would I be without you? You're always there for me when I need a friend the most, and I know that you'll be there in the future as well. That knowledge makes me more happy than I can ever say. Thank you for everything, and I wish you only the best over the coming year.

:bulletpurple:Jashin-chan~ I've known you for only a few years, and yet you've become one of my closest friends in that short time together. One of my "precious people" if you will, you silly Narutard (XD). You're my BFF FOREVER and I absolutely can't wait to head into the time together, laughter, and stupid moments that will undoubtedly occur over the next year.

:bulletpurple:author-child~ Even though we rarely get the chance to hang out in person, you've still managed to become one of the best friends I have. We agree about nearly everything, and when we don't it's usually of little consequence anyways. I can tell you anything and not have to worry about what you think. You're an amazing author and a fantastic friend.

:bulletpurple:MarbiChora~ Ah, my little sophomore. Yeah, I called you a sophomore, not a freshman. Don't get too used to it (XD). You're so kind, and have such amazing talent, both as a writer and as a painter. You've become like the perfect little brother that I've always wanted and needed in my life~ (Oh, and a forbidden "<3" to you!! XD)

:bulletpurple:Hakoshi~ Another person that I've only known for a short time but has become a great friend to me. I feel like we barely had any time together, and I sincerely hope that we'll still be able to hang out, even when you're away in college. I can't wait to see how your art improves in the future~!

:bulletpurple:Seranalu~ (Haha, I had to try this three times before getting your new account name right) Even though we're not pack anymore, that doesn't make you any less of a friend. You have a tremendous amount of talent as an artist- don't let it go to waste and keep improving!

:bulletpurple:Pirateofurworld~ I know that we don't always see eye to eye, and that things were tense there for a little bit, but I love you for that. You're an amazing friend, and that means more to me than I could ever fully explain.

:bulletpurple:Vanessa, Breanna, Amanda Christina, Mariko, and Michaela, you might make fun of me for being mushy, but I absolutely adore you all. Each and every one of you has contributed so much to my life, and hanging out with you guys (whether it be at school or anywhere else) is always the highlight of my day. I don't deserve any of you, I really don't.

:bulletpurple: To all of my watchers and to anyone I didn't mention above, I haven't forgotten about you. You're all special in your own way, and I'm eternally grateful for each and every one of you. So, so much.

:bulletpurple: And finally... to the person who taught me what it was like to really fall in love, for the first time in my life. The chance that they will actually see this note is incredibly miniscule, in all actuality I doubt they even remember my name... but I mean it when I say... thank you.

Best wishes to everyone.

:heart:
