First to address the last post: Botcon ended up working out. Was kind of tight with moving my stuff out of the dorm, but it's okay. I've been spending the past two months with my roommate and her parents, but this weekend we're getting our own apartment in the same complex as a lot of our friends are in. I'm trying to clean up and get my stuff packed.
Work is okay, though it doesn't pay much. Hence why I've decided to start an etsy account (plus to get some extra money. Man, so much crap to try and get done, gah.
I've finally realized something, I need some little icon things around here. Hnmmm. |

Iiii, I should be doing homework for tomorrow, but I need to do a bit of angsty ranting.
I haven't posted in forever because I forgot my password and had to reactivate my yahoo account to get it reset. bleh.
So, Botcon. Yeah, I'm going. But I'm going to have to drive from my parent's house which is an hour north, each morning and drive back each night. I didn't get a room group this year because I don't know a whole lot of people who are going and I'm a girl. I do NOT feel comfortable being the only girl sleeping in a room full of fanboys that I do not know.
What makes all of this even better is that the whole money/job thing is kind of screwy for me right now. Despite sending in several applications to several places, I haven't gotten an interview since maybe February, from which I never heard back (and now they're listing on craigslist again, arrrgh). So anyway, most on my money for Botcon is coming from my tax return, which due to complications last year my dad is filing for me. And he hasn't done it yet so I haven't actually gotten my return. *sigh* The rest of the money is from a bit of penny pinching which I'm not sure what I have right at the moment.
I've estimated that the gas for driving back and forth will cost me $60-$80 in all for the weekend. And parking will be, uggh, I don't wanna think about it. So food's gonna be next to nill. Hmm, Unless I can find out more about the bus's going between the Dayton area and Cinci...no wait, I doubt that any of those actually stop near my parent's place.
Okay, my real underlying problem, what's really getting me down is that I feel ignored, left out, isolated. I've been having problems with that since the day I was born! My siblings are twelve and fourteen years older than me! Plus third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grades were all different school districts over three states. For some reason there seems to be some force around me that makes people ignore me and I don't know what to do. |

Well, I'm still sick. But emotionally a little better.
The strangest part of being sick, I have to say, is sleeping for almost twelve hours a day. Though I need to ween out of that for Saturday. Hee hee, later tonight (pm) is a new episode of Avatar, and tomorrow is a new episode of Transformers Animated. Heh, I can be easily amused.
As for what I did today: I was actually somewhat productive. I started working on a new pattern for my mini girm. The first body didn't work out too well, so I'm hoping the second body pattern works better. Though I'm beginning to wonder if this wouldn't be so much easier with cotton, but I don't know if that would make a good plushie at all. Oh well, at least the one leg turned out pretty good.
I also looked up some recipes 'cause I need to start eating more fruits and veggies. Actually, I need to lower the amount of meat I eat in general cause it's expensive!
Thanks you God above for letting me know anything about cooking and how to follow a baking recipe. I would be a lot poorer if I didn't. |

A little over a month ago I had to quit my job at marshalls 'cause between it and school I was loosing my mind. But I neeeeeed to get an apartment this summer which means finding a job. Every time I think about what I qualify for, I'm gripped with fear, panic and despair. Either I have to be miserable at a job I hate or miserable in a house that is supposed to be my home. |

I went to bed last night about 12-12:30. I initially woke up at 8:30, rolled over and went back to sleep till 9:30. I had a giant coffee at Panera earlier around 6:30-7 pmish. Around 11 pm I started getting so sleepy that I couldn't figure out the instructions to my apparel studio project (okay, granted I usually have a hard time since I picked a friggin corset as my pattern). Plus yesterday this dumb song "Tear Drops on my Guitar" got me thinking such negative thoughts that I just felt sad and kind of wanted to cry. Not like "oh how sad for her" but "That's gonna be the story of my entire life." Considering the insanity I've been through and the fact that I'm so tired, I think I might need medication.
It's quarter to twelve now and my eyes are getting heavy. This just ain't right. |

The Ren Fest costume is still going slowly. It doesn't help that my mother has a bad habit of being lazy on the days I have off from work so not much gets done. *sigh* I need to go out today and get some stuff for the costume and some dog food.
I forgot to write down what times I work this week and while I know that I have work today I'm pretty sure it's at 3. I should probably call in to check >. |

Not much going on, just thought I'd post something, even though I don't anyone really watches this.
The RenFest costume is coming along very slowly.
I'm on the lookout for several Movie Transformers, some for a trade. But things are getting frustrating.
Work is okay. I've got a transfer lined up so that I'll have a job when I go back to school.
God is with me. |

I've been trying to figure out something. In LJ, how do you view someone else's scrapbook? |

Wanna know what happened yesterday just after I posted? I went digging in my suitcase for my nail polish (the old coat was really bad and I still haven't finished unpacking from Botcon) when my left shoulder started to hurt. I mean really bad. I thought something was just out of whack but man! It was killing me. I think I pulled something. So all I managed to get done last night was to redo my nails and to figure out my latest two paychecks. I didn't get my checks mailed out today so I have to wait for Monday.
And dangit, tonight they've been showing a ton of new Naruto episodes. I haven't been able to watch Naruto for a while so I've been sitting here watching tv. I've been trying to a couple of David Kaye videos up to post in the Allspark thread about the new Animated cartoon.
Hmm. It seems that they're reshowing an episode right now so once I'm done with the clips I can go and do some laundry. |

I've been working at a Marshalls for the past two months and I'm begining to get a little tired of it. Part of it might be having just gotten beck from vacation at Botcon. The other part might be that this is the first time that , that time, has happened since I've worked here. I dunno, I'm just scarred of being stuck in a job like this for the rest of my life. What makes it worse is that I really don't know what it is that I want to do with my life.
I've gone from Writer, to fashion designer, to artist, now I'm at costume designer. At the con the idea once again came to me of considering voice acting, but I don't even know how to go about finding out if I'd be any good, none the less if I would actually like doing it. I got the idea today that "Hey! You could combine all of this stuff to be a character designer!" Pfffft. What are the chances of my getting such a job? I bet the market is already flooded with people who want that position and are much better at drawing than I am.
I should practice drawing more often, but I also get all these other ideas of stuff to work on like my plushies. Plus I have to work, try and keep my tiny room clean, then I'm going to have school. I feel like a hog tied frog that's been shot out of a cannon and into a brick wall. I have very little time to do stuff and I don't even know what I want to do.
Yes, I should really be thinking about what God wants me to do, but I don't really know what he wants me to do with my life.
Okay. I'm gonna go try and get some stuff done and then come back before bed to tell anyone who's listening how it went. |

Sooo, I haven't written in a while. My nieces are still here, but they will go home Monday or Tuesday for sure now that my sister has her house.
I'm going crazy and I'm begining to long for school to start.
I finished a precious dragon for my sister but I need to get pics up. The only ones I got were with my mom's camera and I don't really know how to work it. I'm currenlty working on a wyvern and then I have several other projects to work on.
Last year I didn't get to go to the Ohio Renaisance Festival, but I found out that the Michigan one is only about an hour away from my campus, and I already have costume stuff from working there before. Man do I want to go, but I'd really rather go with some friends. |

I'm a fairly happy camper. Yesterday I spent about twenty dollars on Transfomers and Digimon toys at thrift stores. Some of them are missing limbs, others are fairly complete. I found a ton of guns and minicons at one thrift store. I even have an Alt Hound from all that. :D
Unfortunetly, because the way one of the thrift stores works I couldn't go back today all look back over where I had been. Which sucks because I found a piece of wing from Armada Starscream and wanted to find the rest.
Maybe I'll get pictures of these guys up later.
As for today: This morning I drove with my mom, nieces and sister for an hour to the air port so my sister could go back home for a week to pack her house (she flys stand by and thus it's free). Much of today has just been spent watching my nieces.
I don't know. Being stuck in the house with my mom is annoying enough, but now the house is supper messy, she acts super anoying with her grand kids and I can't just retreat into my room.
Good news: Jesus Christ. ^_^ and I got accepted into the local community college so I can sign up for a class to get out of the house for a while. |

I think that I'm going to use that boring little thing for my daily blips unless I think of something better.
So my sister and her girls are coming tomorrow. The house is clean, at least a lot cleaner than normal. Of course there's junk piled my the garage and my mom's bed room. :P
I got a shelf thing the other day to put in the cabinet but it was too wide. I've found that it's a good size to put behind my drawing table. I've got my yarn shoved in there which I needed since the cats ripped open my space bags last night.
I think that after CSI:NY I think I'm gonna go work on the dragin for my sister now that I have a clear floor. |

Hello from the Dragon Angel.
This live journal is just for my ranting and whatever else I feel like talking about. Though I guess that that's the whole point. :P Thank God above for ranting.
What I did today: I hung out with my brother and fianlly watched the original Transformer's movie. I never realized before that the first time the TFs went to the Quintesson planet and the Junk planet was in the movie. And where the crap was Snarl? Okay, so I knew that there had been that before, but still. And I never knew that Wheelie's voice echoed. Dear goodness, what would happen if he and Alegra were in the same room?
I also watched a movie called "Jungle Emperor Leo", a dubed anime movie, somewhat childish and bob around ish. At first you think it's going to be about the cub, and then it's about the dad. Dang, that white lion was pretty. He'd make such a cute anthro guy. ^_^ I cried a little at the end.
There were two other movies I rented but wathced yesterday, Monty python and the Holy grail (which kept freezing at one point and skipping over didn't work :( ) and a movie called Rock and Rule, from about 1983. I just like that old style animation. But it was an interesting movie, but they could have at least put a faster paced song at the end, it's the climax of a music movie for crying out loud!
Lets see, I also tidied up in my room a bit, it was crazy in there. I still don't have enough space in there. I also hate how my fabric is so hard to get at. Maybe I should clear out some of that other crap in the drawers of my dresser so I have easier acess to it. Plus I should just make all those stuffed dragons I've been thinking about and selling them to make room. Though I worry that I wouldn't really be saving all that much space but I guess it would add up. What I really need to do is sort through all of those old note books and stuff. I need to scan all of those really old drawings I did and then toss them in the recycling. I wonder if I should keep all of those old one-shot journals I did. Maybe; compile them and then stick them in storange.
I better enjoy tomorrow since it's the last day I have this house to myself (sans the two cats, a dog and my brother popping in to check on me since he works just down the road from here). Sunday my sister is flying in from Pensylvania to visit and on Monday my parents get back from their vacation. Funny thing is that with six people and three rooms I'll be the only one to not have to share. :P And when this place is full I'll probably retreat into my room to sew. I need to set it up so that I can have my laptop in there (it's currently in the living room).
I don't have a summer job and probably won't get one so I should focus on my art. Though I do need to fill out that application to do Supplimental Instruction in the fall. Which means I'll need to get to studying my French again since that's one of the classes that I got recomended for. The other is political science. I have to no clue how that happened. My mom said that maybe I showed potential. I said it could be that I showed up. I think that the teacher missed more classes than I did. I also think that I only missed maybe one French class ever, if any. Plus I went to the SI sessions for that. If I do get to be an SI leader I would hope that it would be in French since I have no clue how I would to PoliSci. I mean, I didn't even do the reading assignments all the way. I just red (read?) enough to get the gist of each article and picked the rest up in class discussion.
I also need to work on my comic this summer. I got a drawing table for my birthday and I really need to use it. I started the first one but I need to ink it and scan it. But my scanner is being a major pain in the but and won't talk to my computer now that I'm back at home. Maybe I can trace over it with the digi pad.
...
No way. I think I did that once before and it didn't work to well. But speaking of digi pads, I know that the box with the new styluses is around here somewhere and I need to ink the picture of Scaley and Guard so I can color it. The horse isn't quite dead yet.
Well, I think that I've written a good bit for my first journal. Plus, I'm tired but I need to keep a look out since my brother might have to crash here for the night. See ya all. |
