So I was looking at my profile page earlier tonight, more specifically looking at the section that lists who I'm friends with and who is friends with me.
I removed a few people from my friends list either because:
- You haven't made any new posts in your journal for a VERY long time
- I don't comment on your posts and you don't comment on mine
- I'm just not friends with you
If you feel like you were accidentally removed, just post here and we'll figure out.
Also, I've noticed there were a few people who have added me as friends and I don't recognize who you are, thus I haven't added you back. Please comment and let me know who you are! Thankies! :P

So some Bees from the Beehive Collective came to my school this evening and I went to see them. It was incredibly interesting. They make these huge detailed posters with ink that tell stories of different political issues mainly in the Americas. They also talked about Free Trade and such.
You should seriously got check them out: http://www.beehivecollective.org/
They're actually from Maine and they travel around the Americas and to different protests and conferences and schools and such.

So I arrived safely and am now in Greensboro, NC. I drove down Friday, moved in Saturday. I have a double as a single because the girl I was supposed to be rooming with moved off campus. But really, there isn't enough room for it to be a double. There's a mattress bunked above mine, another desk and another set of drawers, but that's it. There is only one closet, which I am using and there is barely enough room for my own stuff. So if someone else where to move in, they'd have to sleep on almost all of their stuff.
Anywho... I won't be online much because I have no internet in my room and nor do I have an phone connection.

Finally got off my ass and took a picture of my new piercings. I also ordered the bigger earrings off of Etsy from this amazingly talented artist. I actually bought another pair of earrings from her 2 years ago at the Maryland RenFest.
( Picture this a'way! )
Here's the artist's online shop: Dancing Glass Beadworks
Go check her out!

I got my ear pierced today. I felt like a little kid in a candy shop I was so happy afterwards. I love how the 2nd holes look and I may post pictures tomorrow if I get the chance.
But for now, I'm going to sleep because my stomach is still acting up.

I feel like there's something wrong with me. One moment I'll be really happy and then the next moment I'll be all depressed. And then I'll just be feeling okay, then depressed again, then happy, then okay then depressed, etc.
It's really frustrating. Why can't I just be content and stay that way?

So why is moving on so hard? Every time I think I've moved on I end up having a dream where Greg and I are semi-back together. Ugh. So annoying.
Anywho, I got myself 2 new, really cute shoes yesterday. I had to go to a store that was like 30mi from where I live because they carried the shoes I wanted, only in kid sizes. My feets are so tiny, but hey, it was worth totally it.
I got This One and This One (only in navy).
And then I'm planning on getting a second hole in my ears either Sunday or Monday. Whenever I can get a friend to go with me. :P

I figured since all I've done is post depressing stuff for like the last week or so I'd post some happy stuff!
1. I'm done with my summer class and I'm 99.99% sure that I got an A in it.
2. My final in that class was easy peasy
3. Tomorrow is my last day of work
4. I can relax for the rest of the summer
5. I've moved on from Greg.
6. I'm going to take a nap now
7. Since I have more free time now I'm going to finish my art trades, reread HP5 & HP6, and read HP7
8. I'm also planning on getting my ears pierced again this weekend. Wooo!

As a side note, one of Greg's friends that I met happened to be a bird lover as well and has a budgie and zebra finch of her own. Minus the fact that their cages were way too small, you could tell she really cared about them and takes care of them to the best of her knowledge. She makes sure their cages are spotless and they always have clean food/water dishes. She also told me she used to have bedding at the bottom of the cage but switched to paper towels when she found out the bedding was bad for them. And she knows how bad Teflon is for the birds so she's already looking into getting cast iron or stainless steal cooking pots & pans. I was really really impressed. Most people I've met who have birds don't even know that much.
She also offered to take care of my birds during the school year and said I could come by as much as I want or whenever I want to come visit them. And although her birds are only on a seed diet, I had a strong feeling that if I were to tell her about pellets, fresh food, the benefits of forging, variety of different toys & perches, bigger cages, she'd genuinely interested in listening and would probably make changes where needed. She's ultra interested in living and eating the healthiest way possible, so I'm pretty sure that would carry over to her birds.
Because of that, I'm not afraid of having her take care of my birds if I do decide to bring them down to NC in the fall. I know she'd follow the instructions I give her and she'd most likely learn from how I care for my birds and use that to better her care for her own birds. This really excites me, but I'm a bit hesitant at the same time.
And just like everything else in my life, my gut feeling isn't matching up to what my head is telling me. Part of me is really excited and wants her to take care of my birds during the school year because I trust her. But at the same time, my head is telling me not to trust her and is trying to talk me out of this. Like, I just met her and I only hung out with her 1 day. Who knows if I'll stay in contact with her with the school year starts up. Also, I don't have a car so I wouldn't be able to go and visit my birds whenever I'd want.just met her and I don't have a car so I wouldn't really be able to come and visit them whenever I'd like... even though that's what she said I could. And I wouldn't want to make Greg drive me to her place all the time. He's got his own things to take care of and he's not a fan of birds. Also, I'm not sure how I'd get the birds down to NC in first place because I can't take them down in August when I go down for school. The car is going to be completely packed with my shit and the birds need a whole seat for themselves in the car. Also, I'd have to leave the birds with Melissa, the girl, over the different school breaks. And what about summer? Do I go through the hassle and bring them back up to MD and then bring down again at the end of the summer? Do I really want to keep moving the birds around? I'd also have to see if there is an avian vet in Greensboro, just in case something happens to my birds while they are in NC.
I don't know... I just don't know anymore. I'm so very confused

So I'm 19 and already lived away at college for a whole year and managed perfectly well on me own. I come home for the summer and my mother is trying to put me to bed at 10:30pm. I think I'm perfectly able to tell when I'm getting tired and getting myself to bed when I need to. kthanks.

So in quest of wanting to lose the weight I gained while I was away at college, I've started doing around 100+ crunches each day. I'm pretty sure my abs have gotten stronger because I'm not even sore when I do crunches anymore, compared to when I first started. But I don't see any difference besides that. I'm going to go walking around the track in a little while- havn't done that for quite some time.
I've also cut out chocolate and most snacks. I have my breakfast/lunch and dinner and very occassionally I'll have a small dessert. I really can't eat any less than I do already unless I want to starve myself. Not something I'm interested in doing. So I guess I'll have to increase my physical activity even more. Though I'm already more active than I was when I was away at college. So I don't understand how I'm not losing weight. Bah. I hate having a slow metabolism.

To everyone out there who has ever thought of killing yourself or might consider it. Please don't. It's the cheap and easy way out and everyone who loves and cares about you is left suffering. So just don't. Things will get better and life won't always be this dark place where you feel numb and useless. Because your life means something. *hugs*
I just talked my best friend out of committing suicide this evening. I bawled my eyes out when she told me. So people, please don't do it. It's not worth it.

I've been working most of the evening on a new background for my desktop. But I think I'm going to put it to rest for a short bit (even though I hate to stop arting when I'm in the middle of it) and go watch Pans Labyrinth(sp?) since everyone keeps raving about it.
Also, my parents keep flip-flopping on whether they want me to get a real job this summer or not. But they have made it clear that they want me to make money.
So just as a reminder, I am still offering those 100x100 icons for $5
I will also being offering desktop backgrounds that have your character (or 2) for $7.
Examples will be coming in my next post when I should hopefully have my new background completed.

Thought I'd practice doing some realism with colored pencils before I got too rusty:
( Read more... )
[Edit] I'm starting to notice more and more that it's my realistic pieces I've done in traditional media that are getting most attention in my galleries. While these arn't my favorite, they seem to be everyone else's. So I'm a little stumped...
Do I keep doing them because people like them and will help me get my name out there, or do I...
Do what I enjoy doing and whoever notices, notices...
*scratches head and ponders*
