I've been on the antidepressants and going to therapy for about five months.  I thought it would be a good idea to do an overall status report, just to have a record in more detail to how the treatment is going and how I've been doing ( Read more... )

This past week I did something that I have been trying and failing to do for years.  I talked to my doctor about anxiety and depression ( Read more... )

So Orange Unified has been back for about two weeks.  I was told by the department coordinator that I would most likely not be contacted until October because nobody calls out during the first month of school ( Read more... )

Dia is a hard character to talk about because of all of the main four, he's had the least amount of work that's consistent with the character he was developing.  Rory and Gabby had huge sample sizes to work with, so it was okay they were off from time to time.  Raiko had a small group of images, but they were all pretty spot on with her personality ( Read more... )

I am on vacation. Nobody told my brain that though because I've spent most of it worrying so far.

Ziggy has a job interview today. I think he said it was for a job as a parking attendant. Definitely below his skill level, but his current job only gives him hours one day a week, and he's at risk of losing his house.

He's dropped out of the Masters ( Read more... )

Once upon a time, the majority of my brainstorming was done in the shower and in the moments between consciousness and sleep when I was laying in bed.  I think most people have similar creative areas.  When I was falling asleep, I could bounce ideas around and plan out plots, and the stuff that stuck with me when I was awake the next day was stuff ( Read more... )

I've been kinda putting off working on Rory because his evolution as a character is kind of problematic.  All of the early art of him is gone.  I don't know what happened to it.  In addition, his growth into a fully fleshed out personality says a lot about me as a person, especially me as a teenager and what I thought was and wasn't okay in a " ( Read more... )

I have been in a state of not knowing how to feel for about three months now.  I flip back and forth between being deliriously happy and crushingly depressed.  Some of it I've talked about openly.  Some of it I haven't.  I'm going to do a little reflection on how I've been feeling, and why I've been feeling how I have, to try to find the middle.

Overdue on one of these, so I thought I would ease into it with a character who hasn't had a lot of history to her.  Unfortunately for this character, she doesn't have the rich visual history that Gabriella did.  This will contain almost every image that has ever been drawn of her, and that is a short list.  But I think there's still some ( Read more... )

Not a good game.  A good "good game."  It's a game that's so good it makes me feel good in a way that I haven't felt about a lot of games.  A game that I can't find a better word for than "good" because it makes me all stupid-smiling-happy in a way so few games have ( Read more... )
