London Riots
I know I only seem to come back here during times of crisis, but to all you English folks I love very, very much, I hope you're okay, and if you're not, you'll feel better soon. If you haven't already, please check in. The news is looking really, really devastating. D: -
My Life In Bullet Points
Well, I have to admit, even though things have definitely taken a turn for the worst as far as my family's wealth goes, I'm still the happiest I've ever been in a long time. A lot of that has to do with keeping a positive attitude, which was my resolution back in January and am happy to see working wonders. I did slip occasionally, of course, but I ( Read more... ) -
Creative Writing Exercise (Week 2)
Okie, here's my assignment last week. We had to freewrite about an emotional experience, and I did this ( Read more... ) -
My Mother's Adventure With The State Senate (And Other Interesting Things)
Well, today we got a visit from a photographer from the Denver Post newspaper concerning an issue that's been ongoing in my family for a while now. Shortly after Wisconsin lost their collective bargaining rights (you know all about that, right?), many people all over the country were terrified that their state would follow the same example, and ( Read more... ) -
Creative Writing Exercise (Aluminium or aluminum? You decide!)
And now that my groveling is (almost) out of the way, it should be noticed that I'm taking creative writing this term (last term was flash, and wow, that almost drove me around the bend... which is why I haven't posted in so long). That means I'm going to be doing a lot of writing posts, and I figured I'd start posting them here. I won't bother ( Read more... ) -
Just letting everyone know I'm alive, asking commissions for Red Cross donations, and an art update.
Between the floods in Australia and NZ at the start of the year, the earthquake in New Zealand the other month, and the tremendous 8.9-er in Japan very recently, there's been a lot of tragedies to go around. I keep meaning to post here and offer my condolences to anyone involved, and I haven't, and I apologize for that. If you or anyone you know ( Read more... ) -
TUMBLR! (And a questions/answers meme.)
So I, err, kick-started my tumblr and am actually using it now. If you have one, add meeeee! And remember, if you have a twitter, I'm still spamming the hell out of that, tooYeah, I know. I'm a sheep. Baaaaaah. Baaaaaah ( Read more... ) -
Wow. (A note from my lit prof, and a small Bahamut update.)
My literature professor, a woman who has earned a doctorate in her field and has been teaching English for 14 years, left this note on my assignment last week ( Read more... ) -
Artwork: finished Mary & more Bahamut
Ye gods, I've been busy. Not necessarily in a bad way, though somehow I've managed to both continue writing and painting, which believe me is a major accomplishment. I've never been able to balance my creative brain like this. I hope it lasts ( Read more... ) -
Your Daily Dose Of Art Progress-ness (Bahamut and... the Virgin Mary?)
Rather exhausted today. It was my mother's birthday (forgot a gift last minute!), I wrestled with animation in flash (I have no idea what the holy hell I'm doing), posted a fic update all over the place (and then went through the usual omg-I-totally-suck-at-writing-blues), I argued with my father (he still insists that having "real interaction" ( Read more... )
