Let's see here..

I've been idle for a long-ass time now, haven't I? I should probably get my ass back in gear.

What's been going on in my life? A few things, really. Not a whole hell of a lot, honestly. Work has gotten really damn slowly lately. I'm talking 1 or 2 days a week. It's been like this for..months now. It kind of sucks. I'm barely making enough to pay bills, and I have a decent amount in savings, at least. Hopefully that will pick up soon though.

In all of this free time, though, I've been doing a few things. My LP is still going- been enjoying that quite a bit. I'm up to like..150 videos or something at this point. They'll keep on coming though. Check out my YouTube page if you're ever interested. Suggestions on my next game are always loved as well.

I've totally gotten sucked back into Eve. Pretty hardcore, honestly. That's where I've been spending a LOT of time. Probably too much. I've neglected my beadwork quite a bit as a result. Tera Online also came out, and that will be occupying some space as well. It's a lot of fun- you may wanna check it out. Really gorgeous art design.

This weekend I have a wedding to attend (ugh), so I won't be around too much. I really do intend to start up some beadwork at some point..just not really sure what I want to do. I work very well with requests and when I have some direction..it's just hard for me to use beads to make a sprite that is just going to sit around and not sell.

Would anyone be interested in seeing what sprites I have laying around? I'd be happy to sell 'em at a deep discount, just to get them out of my room and make a little cash. I hate..asking/begging for that sort of thing..but it would mean a lot to me. Hell, maybe I'll sell 'em at cost. They're just sitting around.

Anyway..I dunno. I'm doing fine. Things are okay. I'm just very bored. If you guys want to look for me- I'm Fuzzbutt d'Artilla and Tstream Jackfield on Eve, and on Tera, I am Fuzzzbutt (three z's!) on Jagged Coast. I'd love to hear from ya, should you wanna be in touch. I'm usually around.

Would absolutely love some requests, too. I think I'm gonna post a picture of all the sprites I have for sale- hopefully I can get a few of 'em outta here.

What's on your mind?

What the hell, I'm 25 today. This is madness.

A quarter freaking century. :O

Love you guys. <3 Beadwork to come. Promise.

NOPE.

Not gonna put up with it this year.

Look..I know some of you are gonna be a bit sad tomorrow. some of you are gonna be miserable tomorrow. Some won't give a fuck. I'm in the latter. Some of us feel forever alone and like we're never gonna find ANYONE and UGH EVERYONE ELSE HAS SOMEONE BUT WHY NOT MEEEE.

Get over it, yo. I'm not gonna coddle you. I know it sucks to be lonely. Hell, I put up with it most of my life. It happens to all of us. However, Valentine's Day is not a personal slap to the face to say "HAHA YOU ARE ALONE" as much as you want to think of it that way. It's just a commercialized theme day as much as most holidays are now.

If you really do feel that miserable..re-direct that energy elsewhere. Sing a song. Scream into a pillow. Go for a run. Do something that doesn't make you think about stuff. Definitely don't sit on your ass in front of a computer staring longingly. Seriously.

Worst case scenario- I'll give you a hug and spend a bit of time with ya if I can. I'm not gonna accept bullshit though. Like I said, no coddling. It's just another day- make of it what you will. It's ultimately up to you how you decide to take things.

Just keep your chin up, everybody. It's not the end of the world.

Holy crap, I fell off the face of the Earth, it seems like. Sort of.

First things first- I was not offered the job at the library. I know this seems like a huge bummer, but it's not! After interviewing and all that, I didn't think the job was going to be a good fit for me. It's a LOT more responsibility than I initially realized, and I would have been way over my head. In the end, they wound up hiring a former director with a lot of experience. I hope everything works out for her!

That being said, the ladies at the library said I stunned them with my interview. I guess I just have that personality of something. If I had contacted them sooner about the job, they said I would have guaranteed had the position. They loved me. That was a nice confidence boost. :D

In regards to my beadwork- I know it's been silent around here. I DO have some pieces that I need to get cranked out for , but that'll probably be a while. Don't worry dude, maybe I can give 'em to you in person. :D Trust me though, I'm definitely NOT done with my beadwork, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

My time has mostly been spent split amongst a few things. Work is rather quiet- I haven't worked a full 4 day week in about 4 months now. Been working 2 and 3 day weeks..it's enough to pay the bills with some extra, though. That's all that matters. I've also been playing a lot of SWTOR, which is basically the new MMORPG that's currently popular. I'm on Belgoth's Beacon if anyone is interested. Thirdly, I've been doing a LOT of work with my Let's Plays. Really been enjoying it. I don't have a huge following or anything, but I'm up to about 160 subs and 40k views..so it's a start!

I just picked myself up a new pro-quality mic to help with the recordings- I love the way it sounds. I've also started up a Facebook page for anyone interested in checking that stuff out. This is totally coming off as self-pimpage, but I'd absolutely love if you took a moment to check out my stuff. The Facebook page can be found at this link and my YouTube channel can be found at the link on my profile page or by clicking this link.

Thanks to everyone that's stuck around and supported me. You guys are all amazing, and I wouldn't be anywhere if it wasn't for you!

P.S.- My bead sprite sale is still going on! 25% off everything if you want it. :D

..for the good!

I have an interview tomorrow to work as a part-time library director for the town I currently work at. It's a tiny little place, but it's a really awesome library. I wouldn't call myself a librarian, per se, but I have some experience with it.

Anyway, it's only a 25-hour a week job, salaried at $500 a month..but it comes with a completely paid-for apartment on the second floor of the library.

My current boss is heavily involved with the community and really is pushing to try and get me this job. It's right across the street from where I work- food/post office/work/drug store are all within walking distance. I'm insanely excited about this opportunity.

While I don't really think I will get the job, it's still a chance. It would be a huge change in my life- hopefully one for the better. Wish me luck! :D

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

This was one of the better Christmases on record. it was wonderful to see the whole family, and how excited my niece and nephew were to celebrate. I really am blessed to have such a wonderful family. Good food, good family, good swag..it was a great time. I hope you all had a wonderful one as well.

I just wanted to let people know I do have some sprites to crank out. I just haven't had much time lately- Christmastime tends to be quite busy.

Also, I will keep my sale going for a while to see if it generates any interest. Spread the word a little, if you don't mind! 25% off everything. :D

Howdy!

Just wanted to re-post that I am doing a 25% off sale on pretty much everything I make until I feel like it. Probably mid-January, or depending on interest, I may go longer. I'm just hoping it will spur a bit of business. I haven't had a lot of motivation to bead lately- it's much easier with commissions. I'm not begging, though. I'll still do random sprites, promise.

Anyway, I had an idea while I was cranking out magnets last night. I was on Skype camming and chatting, and I thought to myself "I wonder if people would want to watch this."

I'm not really talking like a livestream- my bandwidth can't handle that- but rather almost like a "Joy of Painting" style thing. I would just sit down, begin beading, and I'll talk. There would be some soft music in the background, maybe. I imagine it would be rather relaxing. (As it stands, my current YouTube channel is just my Let's Plays, there's not anything bead-related)

The question is- would people actually be interested in this? Sprites can sometimes take upwards of a few hours..and while I don't mind that, I dunno if people would actually sit down and watch me do that. Any thoughts on the idea? Would love your feedback.

Have a fantastic December y'all.

Hi folks!

Random thought here, wanted to run it by folks. I need to get back into the swing of things, but I had an idea in the process.

I may begin mounting my sprites on foamcore. I have a feeling this would greatly increase the durability of sprites in both shipping and general usage. This obviously wouldn't be ideal for keychains and whatnot, but if you're just going to display the sprites on your wall or something, it may make things easier for me.

I need to price the stuff out, and I'd probably make it optional, but I'm gonna think about it. I gotta see how it works with magnets and all that, and I need to see how well I can shape the foam on a completed sprite.

Let's see here..not too much else to update with. Getting really pumped about SWTOR, and that will probably be consuming my life once it's out. Anybody want a sprite for Christmas? These sprites make really good gifts and/or ornaments for trees! Let me know- I can get stuff shipped out by Christmas if there's any interest. Fuck, maybe I'll even make a Christmas sale..hmm..Wait. Yes. I like this idea. Fuck it, let's do it.

CHRISTMAS SALE WHOOO! All sprites are..um, let's go with 25% off. That's right. 25% off. Want 'em made up as a keychain, or a coaster? I can do that. Get in touch! Let's do stuff. It'll be fun.

Hey folks.

I know I've been real quiet lately. My apologies for that.

Anyway, this journal will be kept brief, as the focus isn't on me, and I want the message to get through. Please check out http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2929203/ and help out my dear friend . It doesn't have to be a financial contribution, but your thoughts and prayers would help. Anything, really.

Thanks in advance, everyone. I really do appreciate it. <3

I'm home from Colorado!

One hell of an experience. I return a better man..wolf..thing. Not gonna dump details here. Let's just say a LOT of Dominion was played, a lot of beer was drank, I drowned Swedish Fish in Gin & Tonics trying to save them, and I totally met the coolest sphynx ever.

Good to be back. I missed you guys.

Is it just me, or have things seemed overly..negative lately? I can't put my paw on it, but the past few weeks seem to have been filled with an awful lot of negative shit. I won't go into specifics, but a lot of my friends have been going through some very tough, stressful times. It just seems odd to me.

I'm fine for the most part, but I'm concerned as fuck for a lot of my close friends. Y'all doing alright? Need to get something off your shoulders? Lemme know.

Stay strong, everybody. Even if it's tough, keep going. I have faith in you.

So I figured it was about time to do one of those update thingamajigs..also wanna get my rage off the front of my profile there. (god damn ponies..)

Anyway, I haven't been doing much beadwork because my work schedule has been all stupid as of late. I'm still working 40 a week, but the days were so random that I couldn't just settle down at the end of the week like I'm used to. It seems things have settled out somewhat, and I will be back to Mon-Thu or Tue-Fri with a three day weekend. This should give me plenty of time to sit down and get some beadwork cranked out.

Besides work, not a lot has been going on. I finally snagged myself a humidor and some Acid's. Those things smell amazing. I can't wait to sit on the deck and enjoy myself. I've also been farting around on Eve a little more- falling back in love with that game and everything it is. It's quite stunning, really.

Also, I wanted to run some stuff by you guys. As most of y'know, I started doing a Let's Play a while back on YouTube- I'm up to over 100 subs and 17k views now. :D I'm having a ton of fun making the videos and the feedback I get is great. I would love your critique if you're willing to offer it. That also leads me to another request I have of you guys. I'd really like to try some co-op gaming or multiplayer stuff with someone at some point. If you guys can think of a game that would be a blast to play co-op (nothing deathmatchy, please. Unless it's JA2, then I'm okay with it), and you'd like to fart around with a wolf, get at me! I'd love to have some fun.

Back to beads, though. Like I always say in these updates I'm not dead! I just haven't had a day to sit down, prep some sprites, and make stuff.

Tried to set up a livestream, but my bandwidth just isn't good enough. Sad. :(

On a final note, my old friend is running a contest. I told her I'd pimp her out. More info can be found at http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2732105/ if you're interested!

EDIT: HOLY FUCK I totally forgot to mention I'm getting my ass out to Colorado on October 19th for a week. I will be so not sober. I absolutely cannot wait to catch up with my crew!!

That reminds me- Absynthe, my long-time WoW guild, has split into more of a gaming community. Interested in joining us? Hit me up!

WHO THE FUCK CARES HOLY SHIT

GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELVES

What I mean to say, as I wrote this late last night, is that everyone should take a step back and calm the fuck down about this banner. I have absolutely NO idea why people are pants-shittingly mad over this thing. It's a fucking banner, for a site. You scroll down, no more banner.

Why the hell are all you idiots getting upset over this? Find something legitimate to complain about. This is fucked. Everyone shut up about it already. Myself included. Fuck, this is annoying.

Get over it. Seriously. Right now. Get the fuck over it. It'll be gone soon, and you can go back to fapping to your art.

:(

He was found curled up by a trash can this afternoon. We don't know what happened. We think he went in his sleep.

I'm gonna miss the guy. He grew up into such a handsome friendly cat.

I'm fine.

Really, I am. Storm sucked, but the damage in my immediate area was..nil, really. Some really bad flooding throughout the state and a lot of damage. However, I am okay, I have power (but very poor internet), we have water, property is fine.

Thanks for your support, everyone!

Well, Irene will be here tonight.

Bring it on you big, weathery bitch. I'm ready.

Keep me in your thoughts.

Quick note- Ixerin, your commish hasn't been mailed out yet. I am lame and had to work/brace for hurricane. :( Hopefully Monday, assuming the post office didn't get destroyed.

Shush.

Seriously. It's not going to get you anywhere. People don't seem to realize the users on this site have no say in the rules here. When you sign up here, you are bound to their terms of service. Their rules. You have no rights here. The admins can do whatever they want, and that's just fine with me. This is a free site maintained by a talented staff that has to deal with a lot of crap. Stop acting like entitled bitches. Free speech and all that doesn't apply here- this is a private site under their jurisdiction.

Got a problem with that? Go somewhere else. It's really that simple. I'm sick of people crying foul whenever a change is made to policy. It's their site, their rules, and you agreed to it by signing up. That's just how it goes.

I'm tired and grumpy when writing this, but I don't care. Don't expect any sort of response if you wanna be dramatic on this. I'm just expressing my views.

So, I'm not gonna be around 'til Monday. It's too damn hot to type long sentences right now.

I'm going camping up by Putnam Lake for 4 days. I won't be around at all, no 'net, no phone, nothin'.

Time to go punch some fires, eat some trees, and sleep on some wolves or something.

Y'all stay cool out there.

God damn I am a slacking motherfucker. I apologize for that times 1000.

Anyway, figured it would be time to tell you all what's been going on in my life, not that it's really exciting.

First of all, like I always say I'm not dead, I'm not done with beading, and you're all still awesome. Thanks for those that have stuck with me- I hate seeing my watcher count trickle down, but I can't blame you when updates are infrequent like this.

I wish I had some sort of awesome excuse as to why I've been so quiet. Honestly, work has been super slow this month. For about 5 weeks I've been working 2 days a week. 17 hours total. What have I been doing in that time off? Not a whole lot. Been making LPs, watching LPs, and playing a lot of WoW. That bitch sucked me back in, not that I'm complaining. It's also just too damn hot some days to sit down and work with beads for a while. I can't really do much about the weather.

Life has been stable otherwise. Been hanging out with my friends, getting some stuff done. I'm going on a drunken camping trip July 22nd that should be a blast. Next month I should be getting a visit from a certain Dolphin I'm rather fond of, so that should be pretty sweet. Other than that, it's life as usual around here.

I will definitely be getting some beadwork done at some point in the future. What I want to do, I'm not exactly sure, though. Suggestions would be -greatly- appreciated at this point. I will probably wind up making another collage of what I have for sale and seeing if I can get rid of some of these sprites. I have a big box of 'em just sitting here. Feel free to inquire about anything in my gallery if you're curious. I'm happy to remake anything if you want a particular sprite.

On a totally random note, the Beefy Cheese Melt is one of the greatest things to come from Taco Bell since the Cheesy Gordita Crunch. There's no fucking beans in it. Amazing. I love it.

Anyway, that's really about it. Thanks for sticking around, and hopefully I will get some stuff cranked out. H ave a good one guys, and stay cool!

So yeah.

I know I haven't really been doing much on here lately. I apologize for that. Life has mostly been occupied by work, and when I'm not working, I'm either recording or watching LPs. I may also be flying around in Eve blowing up stuff. Kinda a lame-ass excuse for not cranking out beadwork. Fact is, I've been really wanting to do something, but I don't know what.

I really want to make larger sprites. The smaller ones I've been doing are nice, but I want these things to be projects. I want to hang 'em on my wall and by like "I'm badass.".

Stuff like that Bowser sprite I did recently were great. Not that I'm trying to conscript anyone, but if you guys can scour the internets and find amazing sprites, lay 'em on me. I want to make something awesome. I need to get back into the swing of things.

Thanks for sticking this out with me. I appreciate your continued support, and I hope I can continue to produce stuff that you'll all enjoy.

Hi!

What have you all been up to? What the hell have I been up to? I know it's been real quiet again, and I haven't posted much beady goodness lately. Oops. D:

Not having any commissions kinda slowed me down for a while. It probably will continue to do so. That being said, I'll take some requests if you wanna see anything. I'm certainly NOT done beading, and I never will be..I just don't have anything to make/post at the moment.

My Let's Play is going strongly! I'm having an absolute blast with it. I now have 29 videos up, and will be continuing to produce more! If you're interested, you can check me out at this link. That's honestly been taking up a good chunk of my time. I've also been playing a lot of Eve. If anyone farts around on there, let me know. A friend of mine just started a furry corp and we're the only two members.

Anyway, how is everyone doing? Anything fun been going on? I hope you're not melting in this heat.

No, not sex. Not that you were thinking that. I hope.

Anyway, I am doing some shameless plugging for me. I've been wanting to do a Let's Play for ages now. For those that don't know, these are basically gameplay narration. I finally said fuck it, and started up one of my own.

Mind you, I am an absolute novice- technically and from a narration standpoint. That being said, I'd LOVE if you'd take some time and check out what I'm doing. There isn't much up (2 videos at the time of writing this, but I am hoping to get more done tonight), but I will be going through it when I can.

I DO ask if you watch my videos and decide to comment, keep anything furry-related to here. It's not that I'm ashamed of being a fur, it's just a secret of mine and I don't want people that shouldn't know to find out. I hope you can understand.

That being said, please feel free to leave constructive criticism, feedback, support, or whatever.

I'm currently playing Jagged Alliance 2: Urban Chaos, but will happily take suggestions for future games to play.

Here is a link to the first video.

This is the link to my channel. I recommend going here to check out future uploads.

Thanks guys!

Better get some purified water! GET IT?! FALLOUT?! NO? Okay.

Anyway, thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes and the awesome art and whatnot. You guys spoil me rotten, y'know.

My birthday was a very quiet one. I spent the day not doing jack shit. I was watching Let's Plays and eating Honey Dijon kettle chips. Yeahhhhh. Also, I got a fargin' badass task light! This thing is beast. It will greatly aid in beadwork, that's for sure. Also, I could probably club someone to death with it. I always look for death-clubbing ability in my lighting.

I have condensed my profile! It should now mostly display on a standard 1440 x 900 monitor. I removed the giant clump of friends at the bottom. This is because I have lost all my friends. JUST KIDDING LOL, you know if you're my friend. I don't need to advertise them. I'm not catching Pokemon here. I was way too verbose anyway. I hate using words where I don't have to.

Add me on Steam if you haven't- I'm slowly finding that my connection, while it struggles, is capable of playing some games online! Lemme bark at ya.

Beadwise, I promise to create something this weekend. I don't know what it will be..but it will be something! I will find a god damn sprite and I will make it and post it. I'm hoping I stumble across a series, because I really need to find a bunch I can crank out and post. I feel like I've hit on most major series at this point. I know I haven't done Earthbound, but those things just don't jump out at me. Maybe Minecraft sprites? I don't wanna run into trouble with Notch, though. Hrrm..

Anyway, I'm closing up requests at the moment in the sense that I'm not giving out any freebies at the moment. I will gladly bead suggestions, though!

Also, thanks to I am seriously considering doing a drunk Let's Play of the game facade. I will post the shit out of that if I get the balls to do so.

I'm 24. Time to run around CTU-style.

:D

So yeah..not working today. Gonna be all lazy and awesome. Here's to going around the sun again!
