Art of the Day - Lions' Gaze


First up is Lions' Gaze.  This is an acrylic painting I made in high school.  I used palette knifes and my fingers to paint it.  It was a lot of fun.  I really enjoy painting, I should paint more.

I Wish it Would End

Well, I guess stuff happened between now and the last post.
We picked out the bridesmaid dresses for the wedding.  It's a nice dress.  I have to get a size 8/10 though because my boobs are too big.
We decided to go with cowboy boots to wear with the dresses.  I still have to buy mine.

I've been crazy depressed lately.  I'm starting to just hate everything.

What else did I do over the summer?

I went to a BNL concert, a Bon Jovi concert, saw Cinderella on Broadway, saw Spiderman on Broadway.
There was a Bridal Shower and a Bachelor/Bachelorette party.
I went to the aquarium.
I just got back from Lancaster, PA.  That was fun.

Anyway, I'm going to start posting my old artwork.  One a day.  Until I have nothing left to share.  I'll have to make more then I guess.  First one is coming.

Meh

Well, I finished up work on the animation I was inbetweening.  It looks really nice so far!  It was a lot of fun to work on and I learned so much!  I hope I can work on another project soon.
I also got the new Animal Crossing game.  It's so much fun.  I love the fortune cookies that get you Nintendo themed items.  I want to collect them all!  This will keep me busy for a while.

Next weekend is bridesmaid dress shopping for my sister's wedding.  I hope it goes well and we can all find a dress to agree on.  I'm not really in the mood for drama.
I'm rather depressed lately.  I just can't get over my ex no matter what I do.  It really sucks and I don't really have anyone to talk with about it.  I don't have any friends that I would really talk about that with.  Not any that would care anyway.  I would just be told to get over it and they would change the subject.  Not very helpful.  It seems like he's doing well though, at least from what I see on fb.  I hope when he gets another girlfriend he treats her right and I hope he's happy because I'm sure as hell not.
I've been trying online dating, but once these guys ask to meet me, I don't really feel like it.  I guess I don't really want a relationship, I just need people to talk to.  I wish I had better friends.
Anyway, work has been alright.  I'm really getting sick of it though.  But I can't really search for a new job until after my sister's wedding.  I don't want to be like, by the way, I need this week off in October.  Sigh, life sucks.

I went to Animenext a few weeks ago.  At least that was a lot of fun.  I forgot about all my problems while I was there.  I was Sakura (Naruto Shippuden) on Friday.  The wig was a big hassle, but I still had fun and several people took my picture!  I bought a gorgeous lolita dress from Baby the Stars Shine Bright.  Since I spent over $300 there, I got to attend the private tea party with the designers and CEO.  There were only ten of us lolitas.  I was very nervous since it was my first time ever as a lolita, but everyone was so nice!
This is me with the designers, CEO, and another beautiful lolita!

 I had a lot of fun at the tea party!  Now I want to get more lolita dresses.  I'll save up for another one in the future.

This  past weekend I went to the Meadowlands fair for dollar day.  It was so crowded, but fun.  We ate hot dogs, walked around, played some games, and saw the hypnotist.  My friend Leanne did the guess your age game.  The guy thought she was only 14 when she is really 23!  She won a lot of pretty tattoos.  The next day was my sister's birthday party.  That was fun as well.  Surprisingly everyone got along better than usual.  We went in the pool and played Disney karaoke.  Sunday was the boat club picnic.  The food was very good and it was relaxing to watch all the boats in the water.

That's all for now.  I hope I get out of this hole I dug myself in, before someone buries me in it.

Super Tired Random Snippets

I have no idea if it's because the clocks were changed forward an hour, but I am really tired.  I just want to sleep.
I got a scene in the mail to animate on Friday.  I finished inbetweening one set of characters so far.  I have to inbetween the rest soon.  I'm just really tired.
I'm trying to stay awake because my parents come home from California today.  I want to be awake to greet them.
I saw the Oz movie on Thursday night/Friday morning.  I enjoyed it.  I saw it in Imax so some parts made me a little dizzy-ish.  I went with my sister, friend Rob, and his friend, Nick.  It was fun, but it was very snowy outside.  Driving home wasn't fun.
The snow was worse on Friday.  I hate shoveling.
Girl Scout cookies come soon!
Too tired to write more...

Not Doing Well

Last night, I went to Indie Game Night.  It was a lot of fun to see everyone's projects.  There were some really cool looking games there and even an awesome comic book.  I didn't talk much to anyone, being shy and all, but I still had a good time.
I went to the Caldwell Diner beforehand with a friend.  The quesadillas there are very good!
On my way there, I passed by my ex's house, it was a sad moment, but I didn't let that get to me.  However, on the way home, my directions took me past the Houlihans he always took me too.  That made me really depressed.  I miss him still. :(
I was supposed to go to Mitsuwa today, but my stomach is acting all funny.  It's like my insides are coming out of me, all bloody and tissue-like.  I wish I knew what was wrong with me.  This happens every few months, and I'm getting tired of it.  I went to the doctor a few years back and even had a colonoscopy, but he told me I'm fine.   It's just like, ok, but why is this happening?
I also have bladder issues.  I have to pee a lot, especially at night.  It's like every time I go to lie down, I have to pee.  Even if I just peed before.  It sucks.  But again, nothing is wrong according to the doctors.  I feel like I'm falling apart.  Maybe I just should fall apart, it might be better.

Running Low on Chocolate

Well, things are going alright.  I got another job offer during the summer to teach a few children about stop motion.  That should be fun if things all work out.
I've had a claymation teaching job that fell through, but I think that was because of the company I was doing it for.  This one is just for a parent who's son is interested.  So things may work out well.
I got information about a Pixar internship.  I'm going to do my best to get a demo reel together.  I hope they will accept it without me still being in college.
Work at Bloomfield is going well.  I actually enjoy it.  But it kind of stinks for the students.  The computer lab/classroom is really run down.  No one seems to really clean it.  Most of the lights are out as well and the chairs are pretty much all broken.  The computers only work sometimes and the server can be realllllllly slow.  Yesterday, we wrote up a list of things that were wrong.  The tech guy came in after class and i helped him with some of the computer issues.  Only two computers are really fried right now, but he said he's going to get them fixed.  Let's hope so, and hope that the other issues get fixed soon.  These poor students are paying for classes where nothing works!
I've got more to work on for the stop motion.  Let's hope that this can be over soon!
I have so much work to do ><
I'm running out of my vday chocolates.  I want more chocolate!
I miss my boyfriend.
I need to start moving more...

Sad

Well, I'm not very happy lately.
I'm getting a bit tired of my current job and would like to find something relevant to what I went to school for.  But I have to keep at it until I find something else.  Steady pay is always good.
I currently have 2 freelance projects (maybe a 3rd for a friend) going on.  One I'm not getting paid for and it is a lot of work.  I'm supposed to have a nice edited version of the project for tomorrow, but a lot has happened to me recently, so I didn't get most of it done.  I'll send them what I have so far though.  It's too much work to be doing for free.  I've already used up 3 ink cartridges and broke my printer in the process.  I used A LOT of paper as well.  I'm not going to take any more jobs for free.  It's not worth it...well except for my friend.  He's great to work with and I have fun doing it.   It's not stressful.
The 3rd job is paid and I'm looking forward to it.  It's one thing I am happy about.  I love traditional animation and inbetweening.  I can't wait to get my scenes to work on!
The other bad news is that my boyfriend broke up with me last week.  He called me during a get together I was having with my friends.  The was a mood ruiner for that day...and this week.  I'm devastated.  I miss him so much.  Everyone keeps telling me I need to move on and that he wasn't worth it anyway.  But I still want to be with him. :(
At least it's almost March.  Maybe things will be better for my birthday...and if not, at least I'll be getting 8 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.  Cookies are always good.
Well, that's all for now.
