@ chief... I doubt I will ever have time... My time is not mine... Every time I think I am going to have time to myself again soon, something happens and it doesn't happen. emo
I am going to get all my backed-up art work out by Friday... I still have 2 tatoos, the finish of 3 comic pages, a character art, and a fairy set to get done before my trip to Ohio.
My GIMP keeps crashing on me, I even updated. I think I have some conflicting art programs somewhere... I haven't been able to pin-point it yet... GIMP has always been so stable for me. crying
As it is, FA is something I would love to do, but I doubt I will ever be able to do it at this point. I haven't even been able to do what I wanted to do here on Gaia.
Anyway. The masquerade sounds like it was awesome. Glad you had fun. xd

Eltanin Sadachbia My GIMP keeps crashing on me, I even updated. I think I have some conflicting art programs somewhere... I haven't been able to pin-point it yet... GIMP has always been so stable for me. crying I had problems with Gimp and iTunes running at the same time, for a while. OpenOffice, too. For some reason, if I had the three of them up together, Gimp wouldn't last 5 minutes and iTunes would freeze.

I kept looking at all of my various art programs, and his... I never had a problem with GIMP on my computer... My problems there was the computer itself. I couldn't figure it out, but I just figured with as many art programs that have been and that are on his computer, I was having registry issues and program conflicts. Yet, I can now recall several times where I crashed when Open Office was on, and although not every time can be blamed on it, I am sure that at least 60% of the time that could have been my problem... I guess I need to transfer my notes to Notepad.

I'm sorry, Elta. sad that sounds awful. I don't see the point in doing non-profit things if it isn't fun or enjoyable somehow. definitely not if it's stressful. still, I'm guessing it's not so bad if you stick with it.
still, sucks not to be able to do what you want. lemme know if there's any way I can help.

It wouldn't be so hard if I could just get it all done... I have learned to save after every two lines, which is a hassle, but at least I am not losing any more substantial work...
The tattoos are what are eating at my nerves right now... One is for my brother, it is pretty complicated and I don't think what he wants will work... He pretty much wants to print a book on his back, along with a detailed pic... A good tattoo artist might be able to do what he wants without major fade-ige... but there aren't so many great tattoo artists around here... and even they would tell him that little letters and tiny details don't weather time well. He is ready to get it, but I won't turn over my drawings, because I know they look awesome (For a Tee-shirt)... But a legit tattoo artists would cuss me and then refuse because the pic is too detailed... I have to talk my bro completely out of the fireman's prayer before I give him anything...
Another is for someone I don't even know... A Celtic cross... and although I LOVE Celtic art, it isn't my specialty. I was basically volunteered by my parents and some of their regular friends at the local Eagle Arie... but I think I have decided today that I am not going to worry about it, unless the people wanting to commission it contact me directly... I have already told mom that if they really want me to do the concept, they needed to call or e-mail me to tell me what they want, and mom keeps playing middle-man for them... With someone being middle-man, I can't negotiate compensation, and the people wanting a concept will probably just pick something out of the book at the tattoo parlor anyways... Then my time would be wasted anyway.... Which I have a suspicion that is going on anyways, because the people have been told they can call or e-mail, and they keep just telling my parents what to tell me instead....
I think I will procrastinate the faeries as well... My friend wants them to hang in her daughter's room as a birthday gift... She gets paid for her landscape paintings, but I would be getting nothing for my art to her... I love her, but she knows how behind I am... Just because I don't use acrylics doesn't mean I don't time into my art.
So pretty much, I talked myself into procrastinating nearly everything but the comic pages... I was doing really well until people started dropping in for visits... I suppose the rest of this week will be late nights, because of all I have to do through the days. rolleyes

aye, I can understand all of that. it's realy rediculous dealing with people sometimes, especially when they don't wanna listen to reason.
good idea on just not worrying about the celtic cross tattoo... I wouldn't have bothered if the middleman game kept getting played, it's just unnesesary nonsense and it's rude. confused

My store successfully sold $700 worth of Muscular Dystrophy Association Shamrocks which means that the kid we're sponsoring gets to go to camp! biggrin I'm so happy. Especially since I donated like a 10th of that... xp As a bonus for achieving this, all the employees get pizza on the 3rd to celebrate! emotion_awesome Devil Jin: 「恐怖を教えて遣ろう。」 (Kyoufu wo oshiete yarou/I'll show you fear)

I'm throwing a fit!
My job has cut my hours down to 12 hours this week. 12 HOURS! I can barely scrape by with 24 hours. I need 36 to really live. But 12?!? 've worked for them for over 2 years. I put up with a self-rightous whiny old man who calls me fat and tells me to divorce my husband and gets offended when I read a book after we don't talk for 20 minutes. He's a big jerk, but I humor him and put him at ease, and train the crap-tastic people they send in the morning to take care of the day shift so that his life isn't at risk. I work my butt off, and they're cutting me down to 12 hours without reason.
I am so close to just quitting in protest of this. I mean, my family is already making lots of sacrifices to survive at $800 a month. Nothing new, meager groceries, rationing gas--we can't even afford dayquil. WTF, right? But we made do. I enjoyed the time I could spend with my family and my studies--I tried to focus on the positive. Then my employer pulls this s**t on me, and I'm ready to spit blood at them. burning_eyes

How awesome would that be? biggrin I wouldn't be a doctor right away, but I could still specialize in cartilaginous fish. mrgreen

Hey!
Just checking in...
Things are almost getting back to order here.
I have applied to several jobs, and have decided to go ahead and be less picky now, instead of waiting until May... I figure I would rather not compete with the Summer job crowd out of high-school...
The hubby is possibly going to go for a Supervisor position at his work. It may or may not save him from a lay-off, but it has been confirmed that if he works for the company, and not the union, he will still be eligible for the schooling should they let him go.
The daughter is officially enrolled in Kg, and she will be going to Summer school. I was kinda thinking she was behind in many things, but apparently she is considered ahead in almost everything but her speech. I don't know how to really teach my kids how to talk. I know what they want, and I get used to understanding them. I have tried to work with her on her lisp, but I just don't know how. Her brother was the same way, but after 3 months of speech therapy when he was in Kg he was all straightened out, so I don't worry much for her.
Anyway, I found out last Friday my best friend was pregnant, and Thursday I went with her to the courthouse to be hitched. They were already planning it, so the baby was sweet news. He is wanting to join the Coast Guard, and they wanted to be a familial unit before everything was final so they could stay together as much as possible during his enlistment. I am pretty excited for them. I have been trying to help them get their house ready to move into, and hopefully they will be settled by the weekend.
As long as I make it through the weekend without getting called into a new job, then things should be a bit back to normal around here for a bit... I kinda miss being able to sit down with my tablet. It still isn't even unpacked from my trip yet. My computer stuff is the only stuff that isn't back where it should be.
But that is about it for me for now. heart
