Commissions: Hiatus - | - Request: Hiatus - | - Tumblr - | - Ask Me Anything So It'd thought I'd write another one of these purely because I can! Well... more like an information posting. WELL... more like... a bookmark in what's been going on. Recently.
So, where to begin. Well, let's start with why I haven't been updating. October 17th, 2011, I got a job, seasonal, as a warehouse picker. One of those peeps where if you order something online, I walk around a big ass building with a pull sheet, grab the stuff, put it on a cart, and give it to the packers who send you your things... maybe not in once piece. I got moved at the end of December to a Return Clerk and have been man handling all your greased up used pants, and our poor quality packing job ever since. It's been an 8AM ~ 4:30 PM job and several weeks out of the year, I WAS LEFT TO PROCESS THEM ON MY OWN. A polite metaphor would be 10 quarts of crap being dumped in an 6 quart bucket. So, disappointingly, the last thing I want to do is come home and draw. I've been coming home, trying to find a game that I would enjoy to play, giving up, and reading or watching Doctor Who. (Did you guys see aggro's commission by the way? No, wait... off topic.)
So, um... right, where was I? Oh yeah, I've also had to prepare for moving. I was originally hoping to save money to go to anthrocon and maybe back to school, cheap on neither front. Unfortunately. That hasn't gone well either. I've been living with my dad because... well, I got screwed out of the house by my step mother. Shut up, I am blaming her. I would have at least finished school and gotten a job if she didn't drive everyone she met over a cliff. I got not metaphor for her. So I've been picking up the pieces since I moved back in and it hasn't been too easy. This was the first year everything's gone right.
Anyways, the house situation. My dad works at Verizon Business (Three divisions, Business, Wireless, Telecom) and he recently got a notice or a RIF. So in a few weeks, my dad won't be working there anymore. The house we're living in, the house itself is paid up through May... I think. So If my dad can't find a job to sustain the house (I know how selfish this sounds, but I'm still paying rent. Brother too.) We'll probably downsize. If that happens, I might relocate. First world problems, but I don't care. It's been bugging me that the only people who knew was family, co-workers, and my... my uh... boyfriends... 2/3 of them anyways.
Reason for not drawing. Check. RIF and Relocation. Check. Oh, right! So the final piece I wanted to discuss, was even though it sounded like I've been extremely lazy lately, I actually haven't. I've been writing. Some of you may have noticed artwork still popping up and I've been asking other artist if I could repost with their permission. I think all of them have gave me the green light. But really, who doesn't like reading a good story to go with those pictures. So I've actually been using office apps on my phone to create little scenarios and what not to go with the stories. Like Ota's "plugged" picture. or Aggro's "TF Red Panda" picture. So I'm hoping to get stories done and posted around December, I'm going to loath the next month of work. >_>
Anyways, I'm out. I'll be lurking and posting. Catch everyone later!
