Alive

3 min read
Well I'm alive and well for the most part. I did have a long hiatus in terms of personal work, bu was still doing commissions. Still doing covers, but my nine to five job likes to kick my butt and my car is on the point of getting traded. lol

So just a small journal to say I'm here and alive.

Being sick sucks. Got it out of no where! I mean who did I let cough on me?!  Crazy people! Aside from that, I'll be moving in summer of 2015 to New York. Yay me!! Now I get to fly back and forth to see family lol. My cousin tried talking me into moving with her to L.A. I was like hell no L.A.'s got the highest living cost in the country. Ha ha nothing against L.A. I just am not a fan of Earth quakes randomly happening. Hopefully I'll be published myself by then and get to pick out my own cover artist as opposed to being the one doing the art. xD 

I finished my book in November last year for NaNo, but I'm editing it myself and that always means more writing on my part. I never realized the complete amount of crap I could put out. Things that make sense to you when you write it, but then you go back through the thing and it makes little to no sense... I also have a few chapters that are over 5,000 to 6,000 words long and some that are only 3,000. This was before editing. lol.

Speaking of writing, I've been marathoning Supernatural this past week and had the sudden urge to write some fanfiction. I haven't done fanfiction since the 6th book of Harry Potter was out. It's fun to write it, but it doesn't really go anywhere. I mean I've got an HP fanfiction piece (never completed) that's well over the size of a novel. Like well into the 70,000 mark. I would be nice if I could turn it on it's head and publish the sucker! lol XD

Also speaking of Supernatural, it turns out I had missed about 4 to 5 episodes in the first season that I had never watched when I first got into the show! I was lost when the first one started up on my tv. I was like "wtf?... what's this?" So it was nice to see something new (at least to me) in a season I thought I'd already watched. Crowley is officially my favorite character, then Dean. I'd forgotten how much I loved the actor that played Lucifer as well. He's always fun to watch. And dammit Chuck was God and no one can tell me otherwise! I always suspected it when that episode first aired, but now I know for sure because of how Dean disappeared when he wore Death's ring. 

What are you favorite Supernatural moments/conversations? Here's some of mine:

"Becky can you please stop touching me?"
"No."

"Close encounter!!"
"One, two...?"
"It's chasing me!"
"Wow three already? Be careful I heard four's a butt thing."

Also I've got a question if anyone reading this can answer; but what happened to Cass' vessel's original owner? Was it burned out/lost or he went to Heaven? Cause it's not made clear unless I missed it. Was it when Raph killed Cass the first time around and God brought him back? Is that when he's soul skipped out and went on to the light?

Well before I ramble on anymore I'm out! :)

Okay so last time I wrote in here I was contemplating cutting my hair and getting lenses. I did both. My hair is now really short and nothing for me to use my hair bands on, so they've become useless haha. My contacts are evil. It takes time to get use to them I've been told and I learned while the nice girl was showing me how to put them in, that they're weighted. And of course I was like:

Me: Why?


Her: Because you have astigmatism.


Me: ... 


I've had glasses since I was like 10 or 11 and they are just now telling me I've got astigmatism. It's not that it's frightening or anything, it's a common thing, but it's the fact that no one saw fit to say anything in all the years I've had glasses. And to learn it in a passing conversation was a wtf moment for me. I've also come to realize that the lens aren't that comfortable. When I went in today to get my glasses done as I really hadn't thought about it until yesterday, the same girl who helped me with my lens asked how I was doing with them and I told her I didn't think they fit as I didn't remember getting fitted for them because you have to with astigmatism and she said the doctor had done that when I went in for my lens exam, but if I still felt that they weren't right I could come in and get them tweaked so that's always nice. I also learned from several people that I can really rock the blonde look as my hair is white/blonde if anyone remembers. lol XD


On an even stranger note, I was working on a cover last night and I found this teeny tiny ant crawling across my monitor. So I went to flatten it like a pancake only to find that it was actually UNDER THE DAMN SCREEN!!!! THIS IS MY WACOM CINTIQ 22HD TABLET SCREEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT! I was like WTF!!!! It popped out like twice, but the 2nd time I think I pushed a bit too hard and killed it behind the black border running along the screen edge. lol xD Or it got out and that was the 2nd ant I actually managed to kill enjoying my screens light. This is what happens when I've got my desk against my window with it open. BLARG!

Well this sucks

To start off, to anyone whose ever contacted me via email at my yahoo address please do not open up or click on any link in a recent email from me with no subject line. As my email was hacked by a bot that was sending out spam emails that will most likely take over your email address as well. It was brought to my attention by my mother of all people who called me at 10AM a few days ago about how I sent out a mass email or two with a hyper-link in it. This I did not do. So upon further investigating I found out my email address was hacked and used by a bot to send out several emails with different links and no subject line to nearly everyone in my contact list. I still had access to my account, but it was already done. I've changed the password and even went to the extent of formatting my hard drive in case it had latched itself into the inner workings of my OS. I've changed any and all accounts I can think of that I use that address with and locked it down as tight as I can. Needless to say: DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK IN AN EMAIL FROM MY YAHOO ACCOUNT THAT CONTAINS NO SUBJECT LINE!

If you do open it up, you'll notice that my signature, which is always attached to any and all emails I send out from that address, is not attached to it. 

Again it's best just to delete any said email.


Aside from that, I'm glad to say my hair is now white. BWAHAHA! It took me 4 bleaching sessions, twice with Manic Panic 40 Vol kit, which I do not recommend as it burned when it hit my skin (not scalp, that's never been sensitive) but a bit of the back of my ear and neck. And twice more with Ion Sensitive Scalp 40 Volume Creme Developer 32 oz & L'Oreal Quick Blue Powder Bleach 1 Lb. Yes that's a pound. I've barely made a dent in it. But I learned that if I leave the mixture on thick it really got rid of the orange/yellow I had going on. I had to buy an extending mirror so I could see the back of my head, but it was cheap as was the rest. My hair is short so it may be different for others. I originally started all this so I could color my hair pink. Now I can't decide if I want to keep my white hair or go ahead and be pink. Hmmm


Also I now want to cut my hair even shorter. I want this hair cut:

Short in the back, but long bangs in the front. It would be nice not to have to deal with the heat.

Do you ever just have one of those days that either, piss you off for no apparent reason, or you're just so damn bored, you actually have to go in search of something to do or else you'd just sleep the day away? I'm having one of those days. It didn't start out terrible either! I'm not even sure I'd label it terrible, just that I've been thinking about all the things I need to get done/do and haven't.


Like the death of my ps3. I don't game all the time, but I do game and most of my tv watching apps are on that thing...like my amazon prime. It's not a big thing, I mean I watch any shows I miss on the internet like most people, but it's the fact that I now have to replace (a fat 60gb...refurbished...yeah I know...), what at the time cost me $325 (this is before they had the slim or slim2) with another one that's going to cost me $300. At least it has 320GB and it's a bundle. So I get a game and a free month of playstation plus with it. AND it's the slim (1st) version so it's won't hum like a leaf blower when I've been gaming for over 5 hours straight. I loose track of time like a lot of us.


I also got to thinking about the fact that I need to take my ass to the dentist so I can get a bridge on my back molars, this thus requires me to get myself some insurance. (i've been lazy since I canceled my last insurance plan) I also need to go get my eyes checked and get contacts. I can't take these glasses anymore!!!! I imagine that all that is going to set me back about $450 to $500 and it's just depressing. I don't have a nine to five job. I work off my art and make money that way. Thank god CQ hired me. It's nice to have a steady flow of money, but it keeps me busy doing 3 or 4 covers at a time in the span of a week and sometimes it take forever to get replies as I sometimes work with people waaaay outside my time zone. Like my 7pm is there 7am.


This then makes me stay up later (like 3 to 5am) and sleep all day, thus getting nothing done during the day. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful, but boy...


On top of this I was stupid and decided to bleach my hair. Now my hair was very dark brown to black and down to the middle of my back. I was smart enough to cut it, but apparently missed bits when I was bleaching, thus leaving me with patches of brown in the bright orange/blonde hair. 2nd turn around and the patches are gone, but now I've got bleach blonde bangs and the rest is a light orange. I knew this was going to happen. I did my research. It's a part of the process when going from black hair to blonde. So it didn't surprise me, but then again I'm partial to the orange. lol. But I've plans to take it to white and then put it pink highlights in my bangs. (they're side swept) But that's not the point, the point is after 2 week of deep conditioning and now with my hair back to full strength I'm going to bleach again until I get that white, to only get the bleach in the mail, but not have had the developer even shipped yet....wth...these were ordered at the same time. On top of this I'm anxiousness to get my new computer chair that's coming on Friday as the chair I got for x-mas now just sucks. The padding in it is worse than the other computer chair I had for over 10 years. That sucker had good padding that just wore down over time I guess. But it was one of those cheap ones that go to your mid-back and had no arms. This ones the same, except it has arms. The new one I got is leather and it's full back with arms and looks comfortable as all hell.


Now adding all this up over the span of a week and finally having nothing to do (waiting for a reply) I found myself thinking about it all and I realized I just wanted to crawl into bed and sleep until Friday when my chair arrives and possibly (my little spot of happiness) my knee high, pink stitched and pink laced canvas shoes that I've been drooling over for ages. (this is the part where I laugh maniacally) 


Also to top it off, the season finale of Grimm last night sucked ass.

Y-e-a-h it's one of those days. Excuse me while I go curl up under my covers and sleep.
