I'm suprised they're all coherant, put-together entries. D: I've had THIS journal since...December 2001. So there's a lot of retarded, cutesy anime faces in the months prior to July 2002. :V And horrible chunks of text like this. God. Apparently, formatting didn't exist to me seven years ago.

All I've done lately is sleep. It's not healthy. I know it's not. I should be forcing myself to get up and do things but I'm so goddamn apathetic and sick of shit that I just can't seem to bring myself to. I told TJ I'd help her work on things for the ren faire yesterday and when she tried to wake me up I just rolled back over. I couldn't wake myself up and I'm an all-around shitty girlfriend anyhow, so I guess that's nothing new.

But I don't think anyone notices anyhow. Ally's supposed to be perky and 'everything's okay!', right? Nothing could ever be wrong with her. She's certainly not stressed about money and the things she can't afford, like food. She's certainly not worried about getting to and from work every day so she can actually make money that's probably just going to get filtered back into the gas tank in a vicious cycle she can't break. She's not stressed because the people who live closest avoid phone calls and would rather dole out money for movies and gas instead of food and gas. She doesn't feel bad because she has to call her mom to bring her food from all the way out in Cortland and spend gas money that she barely has.

Everything's okay!

Right?

This morning was awful.

I woke up ten minutes before I had to leave for work. This caused me to be cranky and groggy.

I left my keys AND my wallet at home in one of my shopping bags (those cool Green Bags that Target carries, actually). This sucked twofold because my keychain have my work locker key on it and I keep my red shirt in my work locker so I don't, y'know, FORGET IT. Ugh. And I was hoping to get a drink on lunch with the dollar or two I have left on my debit card, but that was fucked over by leaving my wallet.

So, I was without caffiene all morning. Seriously. It was awful. I was barely awake at all.

Then, when I finally got out of work around 11AM, I couldn't get ahold of anyone who had enough gas to come and get me. TJ only had enough gas in the car to get TO the mall. Not to and back. I half considered walking home. I had to play phone tag and wake people (read: Karen and Al) up who've TOLD ME to call them if I need a ride. THEN I had to wait until 2PM for anyone to show up.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

I wish the buses still ran. That wouldn't have helped me today, being absolutely broke, but it would help in the future. But they don't.

Then, I came home, ate and crashed out hardcore. Me and TJ are on, like, completely seperate sleep schedules now, it seems. Which kinda sucks.

In other news, I'm not sure if we're doing the ren faire this weekend. We may wait and see how money is next paycheck, as it falls on the last faire weekend. I want to be able to justify almost $20 a person plus food and goodies, but I don't think I can. Instead, we'll probably go to the Greek festival for gyros and yums and possibly to the zoo, since we need to trek out to the one pet store in Stow for some things.

So...we'll see, I guess.

Also, commissions are being worked on slowly. I'm very apathetic lately and I know I shouldn't use that as an excuse to avoid doing work I've been paid for but I hate to half ass my art and stuff and I don't want to give a piss poor product, y'know?

Aaaaand. My feet hurt so bad. I walked all the way over to Parkman the other day, then walked all morning at work and walked all over the mall today. Ugh.

• 00:56 Oh, for fucks sake. I left my wallet and keys at home. Now I can't get into my locker to get my work shirt. #
• 03:15 Oh god, it smells like someones ass died and then exploded in the bathroom. #
• 05:09 For fuck's sake, why doesn't the break room have any cups?! #
• 08:40 Goddamnit. All I want is to go home after work without this song and dance. #
• 08:42 People need to learn to answer their phones. #
• 10:27 I can't believe I'm STILL not home. #
• 11:32 I'm going to crash so hard when I get home. #

I walked all the way over to Parkman Rd. to go to the bank today. That was an adventure.

I got up to Packard Park and it started DOWNPOURING. I was soaked. I had to wait around in a pavillion until it let up. Some girl with a baby decided it'd be cool to talk to me. That's okay and all, but she was one of the sorts who has to talk and talk and talk even when the listener doesn't seem terribly interested.

I made it to the bank fifteen minutes before it closed and deposited that $7 money order I've had for weeks now.

The walk home was long. Stopped at Giant Eagle and bought a little bit of food. Chicken and potatoes. Better than nothing. I had to spend the time debating over using what I had to buy what I could or overdrawing my bank account and buying the things I need/want. I avoided overdrawing, thankfully. But the urge was strong.

Now my feet hurt and I should try and get a nap before work in the morning.

[21:43] Ally the Sparkly: Today. While napping, I apparenlty made this giggling noise while I was half asleep. TJ was all 'ew! what was that! were you giggling in your sleep?! i've never heard you make that noise before!'.
[21:43] Ally the Sparkly: To which I replied 'why so serious, keepie?' and went back to sleep. :D
[21:43] BACON IS LIFE: HAHHAHAHAH YES

I was twenty minutes late to work today because Al decided he needed to circle the block following a 'suspicious' car. He then came back, woke TJ up, made her turn on all the lights in the house and 'watch out'. Blah blah blah. He's so goddamn paranoid. Nothing ever happens over here. At all. We lock the doors at night and we usually sleep during the day anyhow. We don't need every goddamn light in the house on. That runs up the electric bill that HE has to pay. We keep two lights on in the house constantly. That's it. No, the light in the dining room doesn't work. The wires are bad and they crackle. It stays off so we don't CATCH AFLAME. Yes, I did steal the light from the one front room because there's NO NEED FOR IT TO BE ON.

Fucking hell.

Saving up and moving out is looking better and better. But with the way gas is, I can't afford to even save $5 each check.

I've been working here and there on commissions. I've been trying, I have. But all I've wanted to do is sleep. I'm so sick of being broke. I'm so sick of not having any food. It's just a general apathy towards life and everything involved in it.

I'll be alright after payday, though. Restock the fridge. Angie's coming down for the weekend and we're going to see the Dave Matthew's tribute band downtown and then doing the ren faire. I think Rob's coming, as well. So that should be fun.

I was up over, like, 24 hours today before I came home and crashed. I just didn't get a nap before work this morning. :/

I'm just so blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah about everything right now. I may be PMSing. It may have to do with OTHER SOURCES (read: bastard headpeople).

Finally finished with this. I think. It feels like it's missing something, but I've no clue what. D:

Where did my two lazy days go? It doesn't feel like I've been off for two days. D: Ugh.

This morning was stressful. I got out of work at 8:30AM. Waited around to call TJ until 9AM. She was still half asleep, so I told her I'd let her sleep a bit. Wandered the mall, walked over to Borders (who JUST changed their hours from 9AM to 10AM, leaving me to sit around outside for twenty minutes because I didn't feel like walking to Super-K in the heat). Sat around and drew, called TJ again. Asked if she could come get me. She got pissed and said 'FINE.' and hung up. I suddenly realized she didn't know where I was (I'm usually waiting in the mall food court) so I texted her to let her know I was at Borders.

I waited. And waited. And waited.

And, two hours later, something seemed amiss. I figured, if she didn't find me at the mall, she'd check my other mall haunts. Either the craft stores (which I don't have the money to be in anyhow) or Borders. But I hadn't seen hide nor hair of her.

So I walked over to the mall. And, after one sweep indoors and a check in the parking lot outside the food court proved fruitless, I called her mom and asked her to check and see if TJ was at home because I called her to pick me up two hours ago and I haven't seen her at all.

Plus, her phone kept ringing and going to voicemail. So I didn't know if it was dead or on silent or if she was ignoring the calls or if she left it at home or WHAT.

Karen came to get me and we circled the parking lot checking for TJ's car again. After a few, my phone rang and it was TJ. She'd crashed out hardcore after I'd called earlier from a wicked migraine and her phone died.

So, crisis averted. Thankfully. I was worried, but I wasn't freaking out. I just couldn't get ahold of her and had absolutely no way to without calling her mom.

I'm off until Monday. This is a blessing. Working one day on/one day off is annoying because I don't get to laze around as much as I'd like. XD I don't get nearly as much accomplished, either.

My mom came by and gave me a little bit of money. That was nice. And TJ's mom dropped off some McDonalds for us. She also offered to give us money to go see The Dark Knight. But, being the responsible adult I am, I'm thinking how that money would be better spent on gas or food. :/

At 3AM Angie texted me with:

The Joker is my Tony Stark. I am in love.

Listen here, missy. I'm gonna send you out to South Dakota with Squeeji because we don't allow that in our good, wholesome community.

:E

Poll #1225350
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Who would you rather sleep with?

We have a poll going between our friends.

Who would you rather sleep with? Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne?

Angie asked her co-workers just now and called me back to let me know.

Out of seven people:
2 for Bruce Wayne. But only if it's Christian Bale.
5, including the lesbian and the guy for Tony Stark.

Which brings our total to:
Bruce Wayne - 3
Tony Stark - 13

From a friend of Squeeji's:
[21:43] Red Chunks: as a MAN I have to choose which multi-millionaire/billionaire to sleep with?
[21:44] Red Chunks: I think, after consideration, I'd pick Tony Stark, for
A) we'd both be boozed heavily and can blame it on the booze;
B) Stark Jet comes with STRIPPER GIRLS, so it's likely it's a goddamn orgy with babes involved, and
C)No quiet sobbing into the pillow about dead parents.

[21:49] Red Chunks: as he's got that psychotic thing going on; will I be with his fake Bruce Wayne Exterior, or his GODDAMN BATMAN angry sex form/
[21:50] Red Chunks: Tony Stark is Tony Stark all the time
[21:50] Red Chunks: no secrets, no drama
[21:50] Red Chunks: and afterwards, there would be an awkward silence, but then all you ahve to do is get out the JD and the laughs start again

( A bunch of stuff for sale... )

Desperately trying to get some funds while not wanting to take on any more commissions before I get some headway on the ones I have.

From a friend: all three volumes of Blacksad, translated. :D And even still, I've yet to find an anthro/furry artist who can do expressions and such a wide variety of animals so very, very well. But, then again, 90% of 'furry art' is just dogs and wolves lounging with erect cocks, soooo.... I guess there's not really much hope in that department.

I'm pissed because I've misplaced a commission I had almost finished inking. I thought it was in with the others, but it's not. I'm going to have to tear apart my area to try and find it because it's a digital commission and I need to start coloring it.

I have another commission sketched out. Godda scan it. Then, I think I only have a few others to sketch out. Downside? Most of these reference links are on FA and I probably won't be able to do much with them until FA comes back up. I have a few image references saved, so I can get those sketched in the meantime.

The house as cooled off finally. I turned the AC WAAAY down last night and everywhere is cool now. Even our room. Today, I put it back to 70F so the temperature will even out.

The AC has been fixed. But, for some absurd and unknown reason, the vent in the bedroom puts out ZERO cold air. I don't know why. I tried tracing it back to the vents that ARE putting out codr air, but I don't know where it goes. This is insanely frustrating. The bedroom is the only fucking room not getting any AC, despite the fact that EVERY OTHER ROOM is nice and cool. It's like some cosmic fucking joke. 'Here, HAVE air conditioning! Oooh! Isn't is NICE? That's great, because you're NOT GETTING IT IN THE ROOM YOU SPEND 98% OF YOUR TIME IN!! HAHAHAHA, SUCKERS!'

So it's, like, 10 degrees warmer in the bedroom than it is THREE FEET OUTSIDE IT IN THE KITCHEN. This is absurd. And stupid. I even put one of the fans on to help pull some of the cool air in and it's....really not helping much.

I mean, I'm thankful for the AC to just be working but...c'mon! Cut me a fucking break here.

This house is going to make me want to kill myself.

EDIT: Checked all the dampers. All fucking six of them. The vents that I'm ASSUMING could be along the same route as the one in the bedroom work. All the OTHER vents in the house are putting out cool air. And, unfortunately, I can't jab anything down in the bedroom vent to see if something's blocking it. Ugh.

What a neat little quiz.

The coloring sucks, but I fucking cut out that flourish BY HAND with an xacto. x_x


I'm also slowly working on this.

The AC is getting fixed today. This is good. I just wish the water heater would get put in. I kinda need that a bit more than the AC. But, the AC will be very welcomed because it's supposed to be in the 90Fs the next couple of days.

Mmm. Gratitutious icon post. <3

I made this on a whim suddenly. Just now. It's not terribly special, but I hadn't see anyone make one yet, so I jumped on that. :D I don't know where I got the higher-rez template from, but I made it from that. :V



Two versions. One has an opacity of 75% on the outer glow, and one is 50%. It's really most noticable on black or dark colored backgrounds.

Feel free to snag, just credit me somewhere. :D

So, last night. Two episodes of Family Guy back to back mentioned Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyenth Paltrow. It's sad that, in my half-asleep state, I really only caught those two things. Because, y'know, Family Guy kind of blurs together after awhile. Oh god, I am a fangirl, aren't I?

There's a brand new water heater sitting in the garage that hasn't been installed yet. This is pissing me off because I need hot water. Ugh.

I'm feeling like I have PMS. I never get it after my period. But I'm feeling moody and lazy and very, very tired and blah. But I guess it didn't help that I only got two hours of sleep and then worked from 4AM until 12:30PM.

The money will be nice, however.

I need to get some sort of extra income. I have $10 to my name, very little food and a quarter tank of gas. I have to pay for half of Erin's upcoming vet visit, as well. And payday isn't for another week and a half.

Eh, I'll figure something out. :/
