Haven't really worked on my art much, a bit tired from the daily wear and tears. Sometimes there's the lingering and nagging feeling that I'm always behind on things and that I wont finish in time.
Been hesitating on submitting new work. I wanted to improve my art more, but it could be years before I am determinedly and confident in my art style. Will start uploading a few after I get my phone charged up (no scanner).
edit: Well, phone isn't connecting and it's 5:30 in the morning. I don't think I'll be uploading for another while, not sure if this was a blessing or a curse.

Idle Rantings and Troubled Sleep
1 min read
Lately it seems the sleep I get tops no more than 2-3 hours a night with scant breaks during the day hence forth do black curtains droop and give my eyes both a reprieve from world and the burden of likewise greeting them once more.
For much of this I'd blame my irresponsibility. The introduction of a new distraction, the embracing of it, it brings to mind the triangular radar graph, and similarly will I make attempts to embrace all three, social, sleep, and academics, and consequentially bring ruin to them all. Yet I have set this path, and I will walk it. And I will prevail if nothing else.

Whew. The start of yet another year and it's Time to make a New Year's Resolution. In my case, 2. I've always, always, wanted to smack a Chocolate Orange (y'know, the ones that that split into neat little pieces?). Yum.

Request Category: Random
Request: A Long haired curly redhead playing with glow-in-the-dark poi (performing arts, not the hawaiian dish, but feel free to include that too) at night beside a riverbed with company and a mobile tea/snack stall titled "Tea Shop".

Next would be to broaden my horizons. So I decided to try learning Poi Dancing, also picking up Crotchet and Knitting again. I'm on Ravelry.com now! Wonderful community full of friendly people. If I earn enough I might get Air Trekkers (www.air-trekkers.com/) and giving it a go. Parkour would be the cheaper but nonetheless awesome option.
On another note, I'm a little nervous. I finished the Secret Santa on Smackjeeves early enough (the 14th), and now I'm going to try out the Sketch Swap in The Sketch Society. Just to vary my art a little.
I made up my request on the spot, and now I feel like drawing this scene with my own characters. Admittedly, the Tea Shop is also the one Silas owns, so we all know who's stuck in the snack shack for the night while everyone else enjoys the cool evening.

Eustress and Distress
2 min read
There are 2 types of stress: Eustress and Distress.
We are most likely more famliliar with the term Distress, which often implicates a complication or difficulty that one is in as well as the stress that accompanies it. The less familiar of the two, Eustress, refers to stress that is beneficial in such a way as it promotes a better and more efficient performance. Unfortunately, I am experiencing distress.
My computer is rather unreliable and volatile, crashing at any instance and the processing things at an obsolete rate and on top of that, the midterm for my online course is later today, something which with my schedule is difficult to manage in between a 4 pg. paper also due in a week and an M-F on campus course. The last thing I needed were relationship problems, and of course that is what I have. Normally just the Family, but this Time it seems that my partner has jumped the bandwagon. He has a knack for throwing those around him into mindless rage, I'll give 'em that. Going silent is the very last thing I need on me and it seems he's decided just that. Work is tiring, and as such I am left w/ no weekend to myself. With many long hours of standing w/o break or rest, rushing to and fro attending to the whims of a finicky elderly couple and being reprimanded by the Family for lacking effort, experience, and age, things are a little much right now.
