Music: Timeless - Zhang Li Yin featuring Xiah Junsu
WARNING: Babbling and Rambling and Aimless talk up top, art related stuff at bottom of entry!
Yeah....I still haven't posted anything for a really long time...almost over 2 months? Well... a lot has been going on.
First off, I was put on medication for my poor health and have been feeling much better *knocks on wood* *^^* So now I'm better, haha Along with feeling a LOT better physically, I've been able to drop another 30lbs *knocks on wood again* Most of the weight had been due to retaining water and the fact that my insides were swelled (something I did not find out until just recently) along with the fact that I've finally gotten a job.
My job is crappy, and doesn't pay very well (I've made $800 so far, state and government taxes took out about $150 so far...and I've given most of what is left over to my parents for car payments and the camera I'm purchasing from them). So...yeah...haha
I have also realized I will never have anything in common with anyone I work with until I get my degree. Because let's face it...I work with drug addicts and immature college students (I can say that because I'm a college student, haha). All they talk about is how they got high last night, who they screwed this morning, and how drunk they'll get after work.
All of which I have no interest in and really hate on top of it. That sort of discussion is NOT for the workplace...
yeah.... And the manager I hate told a girl in my apartment building that he is afraid of me because he thinks I'm after his job.
Which is hilarious...
Because I was hired to take his job as soon as possible. *knock on wood*
I'm still looking for something else at the time too... A better less stressful job with mature people!!!
So...my days of Monday thru Thursday pretty much go: Up at 7AM, get ready and go to class by 8:30, Class start at 9AM, in class until about 12-12:30PM, drive home, clean apartment, eat lunch, do some school work, go to work anywhere between 4 and 7PM work until about 10:30PM or 1:30AM, get home, finish school work, study, try to sleep. Friday thru Sunday I get up at 9 or 12...do school work...talk to people...maybe watch a bit of TV, eat lunch... Go to work anytime between 4 and 7 and get home anytime between 1:30AM and 3:30AM from work.
No wonder I lost weight, I never have time to eat, haha ._.
I also nearly chopped my thumb off at work but that's another story (at least now since it has damaged nerves I can't feel the arthritis!!)
Anyway....this leads to my Art Related News!!!
-------------ART RELATED------------------
So, I barely have free time, and when I do I'm studying or sleeping or running errands.
I haven't been able to draw much.
However!
I haven't stopped completely. I've gotten a good few sketches done (although I just gave a huge page of them to my friend...I wish I scanned them first!).
I've been experimenting with styles lately, and it seems my friends enjoy my take on CLAMP's style when it comes to my pretty characters (Such as Dhaunnar who has been a complete and utter sketch hog, but I love him to bits anyway), but I can't seem to grasp the whole 'serious/good-looking men' concept.
I'm getting there though...by tossing in a bunch of different drawing style ideas I've had and I personally think my stuff is looking good!
I'll try and get a few things up soon enough...maybe even color them in school (I'm in a Computer Graphics course right now, so I have full access to Adobe CS4 for once...Vectoring is very...fun when making flowers and forging Picasso's name!)
Anyway...I'm in no way dead I've just been through a bunch of stuff all at once, and hopefully when I pull out of my small rut I'll be better for it!!
