As you can tell I haven't updated in ages. There are a few main reasons for this:
1) I have stopped dolling. The reasons are varied but sufficed to say I was sick and tired of being the only mature adult in many of the forums I belonged to, and of the same old people taking all the awards in any given contest. Yes, I realize that many of those folks are very good (and that I don't have half their talent or equipment), but ultimately it just boiled down to a popularity contest in the end and I was sick of it!
2) I have moved on to making non-digital art. I have been making jewelry, mostly necklaces and ear rings, and the occasional key chain. If I ever get around to taking pictures of them I shall post some.
3) I've been applying to grad school at USC and getting my stuff together for that: due, and turned in, by Feb. 1, 2009.
4) I have a suck-ass job that a monkey could do where I get paid shit. I'm a cashier at Kroger, again. I don't like it, but I need it because I've got to pay off medical bills (both mine and Ryun's) and to get very expensive, organic food that wont cause me to bloat and double over in pain after a meal.
5) PAIN... my worst endometriosis symptoms are back including horrible periods that start and stop when they want to, fainting spells, mood swings, fatigue, and pain in my joints, muscles, and major back.
Btw. Happy V-Day!!! And, yes, I mean Vagina not Valentine's!
