Man, crazy stuff.

Haven't updated since before SDCC (WHICH WAS AMAZZZZINNGG!)

Well, College: Sophomore Year has been going very crappy lately. failing all my classes except art (go figure?). Meh.

My dad said to me the other day... "Sweetie, you really only need to know two words to have a successful life.... 'sugar. daddy.'" ... thanks dad.

Anyway. Need prayer... or a miracle... or a winning lotto ticket. I'm good with either one, really....

Me and my buddy are starting a webcomic so I'm totally stoked about that. I was going to take my old name ("Horsemen of the Apocalypse") but I think we need to change it. Meh. So watch the skies and all that.

Anyway. I'm procrastinating right now. Need to be writing my history essay on "Fried Green Tomatoes"... (love that movie)... OK. Later, mate.

So, ComicCon is next week! Can't wait!

I'll be at the Keenspot/Blatant Comics booth.

I'm super stoked.

I've [kinda] been working on my portfolio. Not much to show for it. Bringing a few pieces, nothing too fantastic. I'm not really "for hire" right now so I'm more or less bringing my stuff to get artistic critique.

So I'll get to San Diego on Wednesday, and probably leave Monday, but I may end up leaving Sunday because I'm teaching VBS the week after SDCC.

ANYWAY! I'm happy. Can't think of anything else to say.

So ta.

so i'm on spring break now

my jury duty got cancelled... darn. i think i'm going to go to town tomorrow anyway. i have to pick up some art supplies and buy some fancy pants (hahaha)

jon (the boyfriend) went back to southern california. i think he's coming back up for easter though. CAN'T WAIT!

ummm... i dunno.

i'm back on my "batman" kick.
me and jon's little brother (approx. 8 years old) had like a 30 minute convo about batman (mostly centered around harley quinn, of course).

so yeah, i've uploaded some, not all, of the doodles related to batman that i've done lately.

been really busy.

sooo'ok, yeah anyway
feeling really monotone right now, haha.

talk to you later!!

(still need job)

ok, so i've had an interesting week to say the least.

the sears interview was a bust.
i walked in and said i had an interview scheduled and they insisted there was no one on their calander for an interview that day and then basically said they were only hiring certain people and i wasn't what they were looking for.

everyone says i should sue for discrimination, but meh, whatever.
karma :]

on my way to my statistics study group i picked up my mail. on my way to the school the little dmv logo caught my eye and i looked at the envelop and realized it had my name on it. upon opening the envelop i found it was a notice for a suspension of my license. this was upsetting.
i got hit by a chevy in january. i just assumed i forgot to put something on the sr-22 and i would just call and everything would be cleared up. so while i was pretty irritated, it was ok, whatever.
on my way back home after studying, another envelop in the mail caught my eye, this one with the american flag on it. something told me i knew what it was. i picked it up and what do you know, my name is on the envelop. it was a summon for jury duty. at first i was excited, i've yet to do jury duty and i think all that court stuff is very interesting. however, the date caught my eye: march 24th. i'm going to be at lake tahoe. so i have to get that pushed back, but there's a possibility my reason will be counted as "inconvenience" which is not a valid reason to postpone you "civil duty" so i may have to cancel my trip to tahoe.... very upsetting.

that was a crummy day.
however, it did not end there.

yesterday i got ahold of the dmv. i was correct, i had not filled in one of the insurance boxes on the sr-22. i gave them my liability insurance company's name and that was cleared up. i asked if the suspension was waived and she said she couldn't do anything about it and i had to call the other number. so i called the number and asked her about getting the suspension waived and she started saying something about if it was a dui and i interrupted her and said it wasn't for a dui, but because my car had been hit in january. she says to me, 'that's not what i show.' i'd never even been pulled over before, nonetheless for a dui.

basically, long story short (the whole process took about 10 hours) someone was arrested for a dui with a .8 blood/alchohol level on december 20th in my county. their license was one digit off from mine (my friends and i were joking i was too drunk to remember it).
i had to wait at the dmv for two hours and had to go to the police station (who had no record of my "dui").

it's all cleared up now and i have no suspension. i still have to deal with my jury duty, hopefully that'll get cleared up.

and i need a job. praaayyy for me!!!!!!!!!

alrightie.

i uploaded a couple of guys i've been working on.

i'm thinking about calling them "skele-love"
but it sounds so cheesy, you know?



HOWEVER, i have good news.
i got an interview :]
woo hoo! go me!
it's at sears.
i need this job....
i've been applying all over.
seriously, half the town knows my social security number.
haha.
so yeah, need some prayer.
for anyone who follows me... job = money = art supplies = more art
hahaha.
see? everyone's happy.
lmao, yeah right

anyway
i'll update tomorrow and tell you how the interview went.

-ta

HEY GUYS!
I'm back from Wonder Con (which TOTALLY ROCKED!!)

And check it ooooutt!! I finally uploaded my "real" stuff!! Check it out! I uploaded some of my comic strips that I made and have titled "Horsemen of the Apocolypse" about a chick and a dude who are roommates.

And then some of my old, old "chibi" doodles

some fan art

and just whatever stuff.

Soooo, YA! ENJOY!

haven't been around for a while....

linux + deviant art = pain in the ass.

(don't ask)

but yeah had one of those artistic streaks today, you know where you're not inspired to do anything particular, you just want to feel the pencil on the paper (or in my case, stylus to digital tablet).

i whipped out a few horrific sketched, but they appealed to me so i uploaded them. apparently, since they're "sketches," they uploaded into some other folder, and me, being new to deviant art still, have no idea where that folder is and have yet to trek for it... i will when i get done here. so yeah, in that folder you will find the product of a boring afternoon and two season box sets of "arrested development."

so yeah.

enjoy or whatever.

i dunno what else to say on these blog thingies.

i could tell you about all the little annoyances going on in my life right now, but let's face it, you people don't care, and if you wanted to hear about every little insignificant gripe someone has, you have rusty humphrey and rush limbaugh for that.

alright
the. COOLEST. thing happened to me today.

i had my second art class of the semester.
we did our first painting.

anyway that's not important

karen, my art professor, was putting on cd's throughout the class. about the last 20 minutes or so, she put on a mixed beatles cd.
i was like, yay ^^

ok the cool part though, now tune in your visual thinking here....
"here comes the sun" came on.....
and we're cleaning up
i'm standing in line to use the sink when it comes on
and i sang (quietly, to myself, of course) "here comes the sun..."
and then jason, who was standing in line next to me, chimes in (also quietly to himself) with "here comes the sun."
and together we sang "and i say it's all right"

i'd just began walking down the aisle back to my eisle and i walk by this other kid (whose name i don't know) who says "little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter" as i pass by him (at this point i'm like, wtf?)
then this girl (whose name i also don't know) says "little darling, it feels like years since it's been here" then i sang "here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right..."


and then karen busts out with "SUN SUN SUN HERE IT COMES!!" and we're all, sun sun sun here it comes... (to ourselves)

omg it was so freaking awesome...
i mean, it was apparent we all knew the song and we were all singing to ourselves

but the way it worked out
it was so amazing

and it was this strange, inspiring feeling...

i felt like i was an actor in "across the universe" xD

anyway, it was amazing

why is the mean a little bit lower than the median & mode?

hmmm......


so.
i'm a horrible person.
can't even let my own best friend know who i am.

oh well....

we all have our down side.

(if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again... you can tell me how vile, i already know that i am) - bright eyes

i miss my friends

shit

i hate it when people delete journal entries.

it's like.

i don't know.

i mean, it's their shit, but whatever you know?

example: "becky" and "laura" have a fight and becky writes her daily blog post and in it, casually mentions laura was being a bitch. then when they make up and all that, she cowardly deletes the blog post, attempting to erase all evidence.

i can understand angles and such like that, you wouldn't wanna start crap (even though any reasonable person would understand that people don't always say what they mean during a fight and/or it means nothing henceforth) but i mean. it's kinda like. inexplainable. i'm horrible with words.

anyway.

i just don't like it when people do that. kinda like when someone being charged with murder does that thing where they basically confess and then turn around and change their stories. damage has been done bro.

i can totally understand if you're in a fit of angry and reviel something that may damage yours or someone else's reputation (a "secret"), but i mean, seriously? ashamed of your own words?

it doesn't feel right.

but then again that just me.

well i'm back in california.
only bummer is every time i go to another state it reminds me how much i hate it here.

it's hot. things are expensive. the only up side is living in a state with a coast, but considering i never go to the coast it doesn't do me much good.

blagh.

once i graduate it's chicago for me

anyway
reno was fun.

the train ride home was irritating because there was a two hour delay and then it broke down again. so ultimately it was about three hours longer than it should have been. that was .... epic. and since the train was delayed, i missed my connected and had to wait in the station for an hour and instead of getting another train but home, had to get on a bus for an hour, and then another train.... but whatever. c'est la vie. it's all good. home now.

luckily i had some webcomics weekly i hadn't listened to yet.
so to scott, kris, dave, and brad.... thank you. *tear* thank you so very much.

anyway, i'll be off....... exhausted.

hm....

so i had my interview today....
it went.... well... i suppose.
we'll find out tomorrow, now won't we?
unfortunately if i get the job i'm going to have to cut my reno trip short which sucks but you know, c'est la vie.

my lips are so chapped. i don't know what i ate that was so salty (usually only mcdonalds is the only thing that does this to me) but man!

i also had an appointment with my specialist about my medical condition... good news is i'm not dying! horray! i have to take this pill every morning.... it reminds me of a tampon for some reason.

i guess that's pretty much it for the secret life of an american teenager... epic i know (you know i actually haven't seen that show... just kinda looks like a pg-13 lizzy maguire~ whee) but i don't watch much tv anyway

anyhow

ta

my laptop charger broke (again)! second time since november...
cheap piece of crap...
so, i am stuck on my pc for a while.
not that i don't LOVE my custom pc, because i do... i just like being able to curl up on my bed with my laptop.
plus, since attaining a laptop, i usually draw anywhere but my desk, i can't come up with any good ideas when i'm using my pc.
(it's psychology. example: it's not recommended you do anything but sleep on your bed because when you lay down you'll be thinking about other activities than sleeping)

on the bright side
i finally mastered a signature.
i have horrible handwriting... horrible.
i would usually just scribble my initials and "'08" (well, "'09" now).
and that's when i actually REMEMBER to sign my work (yeah, i know, bad habit and all).
my best friend, nick (Psychohuntr, check out his work), promised me he'd help me remember.
so yeah, maybe on the next thing i submit it may actually have my name on it. epic, i know.

so i have a job interview tomorrow that i'm pretty excited about.
it's to be the resident assistant (ra) at the dorms. they'll pay for me to live at the dorms and my food for the semester. i desperately want this job because i live 40 minutes away from the college which is close enough to commute, but just far away enough to make it annoying. so any prayers out there, do me a solid. i really, really need/want this one.

i'm going to reno on thursday to visit my sister. probably just going to be a lot of sleeping going on. she works the night shift at her job and i usually stay awake until 5am and sleep until 1 or 2. gunna be a grand ol' party. probably do a little gambling, she wants to take me to an antique mall she's in love with...(yay)... it'll be fun though. i miss her.

that's about it here. see you on the flip side.

i have finally created a "deviant art" profile. coming up with a decent user name proved annoying. luckily for me, my most recent piece which i'd just put the finishing touches on ("revolution") was hanging around in my mind.

i guess a quick introduction is in order.

i have no distinct type of style of drawing (e.g. anime, pop, old school comic, etc.). i like to throw a little of everything into my work. i'm what you would call "artistically inclined." i have a "knack" for art, however, i am not dominantly artistic. let's put it this way, i'm ok, but i'm not good enough to ever be able to have some sort of artistic career. i lean towards cartoons, i can't paint worth anything. can't scrapbook, can't sculpt, can't use pastels... pretty much all i can do is doodle, photoshop, and ms paint.

that's my artistic profile in a nutshell.

now that that's out of the way, from here on out my journal entries will include quick blurbs about any recent attributes to my gallery and rants about the downfall of the american economy.

enjoy.
