Giving up.
Posted 11 years agoSo, there's a lot going on that I am not really wanting to talk about. A few things I can bring up, sure, but other than what I mention, please don't try and get things out of me. I'm not willing or ready to discuss them.
1) Someone who is like a father figure to me (my road daddy) has been hospitalized. He went in for surgery 6 days ago, and while under anesthesia, he had a heart attack. This had effect on his brain stem, which has put him into a coma. Until this morning there had been no change. I got a message saying that his vitals are starting to slow down, and that it doesn't look good. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts/prayers.
2) Having a hard time dealing with some things going on in my life. Some major changes may be happening soon, and I'm not sure if I'm ready for them or not. Some good some bad.
3) Shutting people out. Some of you may or may not feel like I'm shutting you out. I'm not trying to, honestly...I'm just shutting down in general. Trying to keep face only gets me so far. Not to mention I've been fighting with a few close friends...I'm just done with everything.
So those are the top three things going on. I just needed to write a new journal, really, to let you all know what's going on. I know maybe 5 of you will read this, and to those 5 people, I'm grateful to have you.
Hope everything is good with you guys. <3

Art trades anyone?
Posted 11 years agoSoooo I kinda wanna practice some neat animals...so would anyone be up for an art trade?
No dogs please.
No dogs please.
Looking for an interpretive artist!
Posted 11 years agoWhat I mean by that, I mean I am looking for someone who can take two characters, a song (well video for a song) and recreate a frame from it. This will be anthro, and fully colored/shaded with a background. The price CAP for this is $200. I will be splitting the cost with 
50/50. ($200 + tip). So if you know anyone willing to do this, please link me to their page, or if YOU are willing -- let me know! Traditional is preferred but I am willing to work with a digital artist if they will work in 300dpi so I can print it! (:
Thank you guys and remember to always have a blessed day!

Happy (late) New Year, Resolutions.
Posted 11 years agoFirst off, I'd like to say happy new year to everyone! Hope that you guys were all able to bring it in with people you love! I, myself, had a pretty amazing night and got to spend it with the NH Furs, tho not all of them! We all hung out at TGI Friday's and watched the ball drop together while enjoying each others company! I miss them all a lot...and hoping to see them all on Tuesday! We all have a meet at TGIF's again, haha.
How was your guys new year party?!? Was it fun?? What'd you guys doooooo?!
Resolutions:
-Art.
-Life.
-Body.
-Mind.
-Soul.
Art
I really want to improve with my art. I think I may challenge myself to a 365 challenge...even though one day will be needed to catch up on the few days missed. I think I wanna do a song one! 8D It would be fun, I think. I really just want to find my style, and where I'm comfortable. I want to learn new things and experiment. I would really like to be in a position to where I can take commissions.
Life
I am really going to try and find happiness this year. That just means I need to be comfortable with where I am and that I've accepted it. I keep moving around because I can't find where I'm happy, or who I'm happy with. (This is NOT a jab at my past relationship, so please don't think that -- and please just let it be.) I want to learn how to let things go. I want to start over, cleansed and happy. I would love to start making a stand for what I believe in, and actually putting action to words. I did this fairly well last year, with going to a lot and donating to a lot of Dog Causes, but I want to expand that circle to all animals. (Recently watched Blackfish and it honest to God, broke my heart. I haven't cried so hard in forever.)
Body
Those who know me, know I'm not skinny at all. LAWL. That is no secret. I have lost a little weight in the past two yeas, but it's not where I want to be at all. So my goal for 2014 is to at least lose 50lbs and to be more healthy in my choices. I am trying to be okay with life, and trying to appreciate it as it is a gift. <3 So I want to get healthy! I'm going to take up dancing classes as well as getting a gym membership!
Mind
Again, those close to me know I suffer from depression. It isn't severe, but it does pop up sometimes. A lot of you guys don't know that earlier this year I was diagnosed with being borderline Bi-polar and I'm still trying to come to terms with that. That being said, I really want to get my mind where it needs to be. That means learning to cope with or maybe even overcome my depression. I know it's going to be a challenge, but it's hopefully one I can overcome!
Soul
I really, really want to find myself this year....if that's even possible? I would like to find a faith I want to follow, or even just be okay with the one I grew up under. I want to let a lot of things go. I want to let a lot of people go. I want to move past things and just generally be a better person than I have been. I would love for 2014 to be the year that I mend bridges and overcome a lot of fears. I would love to at least get closure on some things, and be the person to offer closure. I'm tired of having so much resentment and anger in my heart. It's not good for me, or the people around me.
That's about it for me, I guess. 8DCharacters for sale. URGENT!
Posted 11 years agoAll of these guys here.
http://sta.sh/280uuzxrs5h
Just offer on them. I will do trades as well as real money. No points. Sorry.
I really prefer cash, because I'm in a super tight spot and need to move out of my home asap.
If you buy ANY of these for over $25, then you get a free reference sheet done by demiure !
Aria. http://nimga.com/f/6xPbc.png
Asking $15 for her, just because it's custom line art. Comes with one tag, for furry-paws.

Free doodles
Posted 12 years agoWell, I really gotta get some practice in, so I want to do some free doodles for my watchers. <3
All you have to do is post a link to your ref/refs and I will pick a character or pose if you only have one character and then doodle them up. THERE IS NO DEADLINE FOR THESE. This journal will STAY up!
The only thing I can say is that there is a limit to ONE DOODLE PER PERSON! And you MUST be watching me! Please respect that. Those are two simple rules. I may/may not do couples...depending on my mood. So go ahead and paste your mate too.
Please, post anything. Dragons, pigs, dogs, cats, bears....I don't care. JUST FEE MY NEED. xDHave YOU drawn Brynn before?
Posted 12 years agoIf so, could you PLEASE link me to any art you've done of her? I've tried to find all the art floating around this site and I think I've gotten most of it. I'm mostly looking for stuff that hasn't been uploaded or really old things. Since my laptop got stolen, I haven't been able to recover some art. ;___; I'd love it if you guys could help me out. This includes art of Brynn, but is not limited to just her! I have many characters floating around too, that have art. Any little bit helps! :3

Posted 12 years agoCopy and pasting this from Demi:
"I can't catch a fucking break.
Last night, at 4:30am someone came up to our door and was profusely ringing the doorbell. Then he would stop. Then go at it again. The second time, we woke up and flipped the lights on and got together in the living room and got the dogs making noise. He didn't go away, but I was on the phone with dispatch and within ten minutes, the cops were there. They did a walk around the house, but the cop told us we were probably freaked out and being a little over dramatic and it was probably someone drunk playing doorbell ditch. Regardless we were a bit freaked out and went to my moms hotel for the night. We were gone from 5:15am-9am, and in that time someone broke in and stole everything of value, except my laptop because it was in one of the back rooms. I called 911 again, and then after 25 minutes of no one showin up, called back a second time and after about 45 minutes someone arrived. Based on the information, the cop believes we were targeted a while in advance and them messing with us was a scare tactic to try and get us to leave (which worked, obviously.) But the cop also doesn't believe that not leaving would have prevented the situation from happening. I don't know where to go from here. The things are replaceable and everything, but he stole my confidence, security, and pride. The cop and everyone we talk to don't believe it will be an isolated incident, and with talking to the landlord, he revealed that the neighborhood we moved into did have criminal activity and that it was not the first time the house had been invaded. The police recommended we either nail the windows and other entrances shut minus the doors, or we move out. But after talking with him further and him telling us that he didn't believe this was a safe neighborhood for "two young girls", we decided it was best to move. But we had no place to go until we received a good offer (that unfortunately is across the country and needing to be done in the next two days.)
I know it may seem silly, but even if we were to bunker down and suck it up with the knowledge that it will probably happen again, we are still left now in a financial situation we wouldn't be able to arise from. It's incredibly hard to swallow my pride and kiss EVERYTHING goodbye that I worked for so hard in the past 11 months. 2013 has been incredibly rough and shitty and hard, and this was enough to finally force me to give up. I hate that I'm even GIVING UP, but even if I pulled through it emotionally, I am at my physical end too."

ER yesterday, whoo!
Posted 12 years agoSO, I went to work all hunky dory yesterday and then had to leave in the middle of grooming a dog because I all of a sudden started throwing up. The only reason I left is because there was blood in it. Now, don't freak out -- doctor said it was only because of my throat getting scratched. However, they did tell me I got some sort of gastrointestinal bug from working with dogs (letting them lick my face and petting them and not washing my hands.) Being where I work, I can't always wash my hands and I DO have a bad habit of fishing nasty ass dog hair out of my mouth while grooming. SO, lesson learned here is that -- I am no longer letting dogs lick my face, bc uhm...this is not a fun experience and I never thought that loving on dogs could get you landed in the ER. That is all.
PS; I'm perfectly fine! ^_^ They have me on meds and bed rest for the weekend. Just wanted to give everyone a head's up!

Finally + Looking for a roommate?
Posted 12 years agoFinally got moved into the new house. Granted, we're far from being done with what all needs to be settled. We still have to Spackle/paint and all that but we're at least here. That's all that matters, yeah? :) Havoc is already having a blast with all this land, and he hasn't even seen the river yet!
Still, I'm a little stressed -- because our other roommates backed out. SOOOOOO, we're looking for ONE more roomie, possibly. If you're interested, let me know. Just drop a note. I would prefer that I know you and it is absolutely required you come visit before we just let you move in.
Only stipulations are:
Pets ARE allowed -- but NO dogs. We are not sure if the landlord will allow it. Cats/small animals/reptiles/cage animals are fine. You also MUST be okay with Pit Bulls, as I own one. Cannot be allergic to any animals/have phobias of animals.
Job is a MUST. You have to work at least 3 days a week. YOUR part of the rent would be $300. This is rent+utilities.
Please do not be dependent on someone else/family. And please be able to pick up after yourselves. Our previous house was kept very clean and organized, and this one will be the same.
AS I THINK of things, I will post them. I doubt anyone will bite for this, but it's worth a shot! ;3

She really wants this! If you have anything you can spare, it will help! Seriously, every penny counts! She's really awesome with her own dogs, and I know her being able to do this for a living would just be the cherry on top of all of her dreams!
I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER IF YOU DONATED. <333

Well.
Posted 12 years agoI'm probably not going to be around here much? I just get bored easily...and this place is boring to me, plus there's really nothing typing me here? I'm on deviantart though. PLUS you know I'm off having a LIFE. With my dog. And also baby sitting rough collie puppies. So yeah. Idk...the computer seems like a douche-bag thing to mess with right now unless it's downtime --- which we never get.
SO I GUESS if you have my number, feel free to text/call. I don't really like talking on the phone though, so texting is easier. PS: please dont get butthurt if I don't text you right back. I have a thing called a job. It's not that I'm avoiding you guys or anything like that -- I just....don't want to lose my job over a text message that can wait. I have tomorrow off though -- so that's a good time to catch me. I have my skype turned on most of the time on my phone, and my phone is almost always with me (unless I'm doing something.) So yeah.
IDK. Not like....people here give a shit, but. Figured I'd let you all know what was going on. (:

I know no one reads this anyways...but.
Posted 12 years agoI'm going to be taking a small vacation from the computer, for roughly a week or so -- possibly longer. This isn't anything drama related, so you honkies can back off. Thanks. I just need to re-find myself, and I sure as hell won't do it sitting in front of a computer. :)
For those of you who have my number -- utilize it. It will be the best way to get a hold of me.
See you guys in a week! :)

Some changes.
Posted 12 years agoWell, here recently I have been making some major changes in my life...and these, for the most part, have been good. I've gotten a new car, bought my own car insurance, been told that I have an assistant manager job on lock, and I've been 'getting back to nature'. I've also allowed some people to come back into my life, and it's been amazing. I'm happy to say that my two year hiatus from the internet has made me a better person. I'm much more considerate of OTHER people's feelings and much more understanding that things I say as a joke DO actually hurt people. I've recently joined a group here that talks to children about bullying and the pain it causes to both other people and themselves. With going to therapy, I've learned to accept not everyone is going to like me, or agree with my choices -- but really I am the only one who has to.
I also have gotten into Pit Bull advocacy. Being an owner of a Pit Bull has opened my eyes dramatically with how cruel people can be, and it really brought things home in a sense. These dogs, this breed -- like myself -- often are portrayed as the "bad guy" or as being "guilty by default". It's hard to think that someone would blame a dog, who essentially has no control over ther actions of not taught otherwise, for a bad thing -- a mistake...but don't do the same for people. I KNOW I've done wrong in the past, and I will never deny that. But I've become a much better person. I have worked my ass off to be where I am. And, I think with that being said, this is what pushes me to fight for this highly misunderstood breed. (:
I've also been watching a lot of inspiring documentaries lately, and a lot of them have changed my life. They've opened my eyes and they've given me hope. They are all available on Netflix if you care to know what they are, just ask!
I had so much more to say on this, but I really need to get to sleep. I love you guys, and please remember to always consider the effect your actions/words will have on other people, whether you like them or not. Simply ask yourself, 'Would *I* want to hear/read/see this about me?' You can say 'I don't care' all you want -- but we all know the real answer.
Take Care! <3

It's hard to think that someone would blame a dog, who essentially has no control over ther actions of not taught otherwise, for a bad thing -- a mistake...but don't do the same for people. I KNOW I've done wrong in the past, and I will never deny that. But I've become a much better person. I have worked my ass off to be where I am. And, I think with that being said, this is what pushes me to fight for this highly misunderstood breed. (:
I've also been watching a lot of inspiring documentaries lately, and a lot of them have changed my life. They've opened my eyes and they've given me hope. They are all available on Netflix if you care to know what they are, just ask!
I had so much more to say on this, but I really need to get to sleep. I love you guys, and please remember to always consider the effect your actions/words will have on other people, whether you like them or not. Simply ask yourself, 'Would *I* want to hear/read/see this about me?' You can say 'I don't care' all you want -- but we all know the real answer.
Take Care! <3
And so it goes,
Posted 12 years agoMore bad news has hit the home front.
Aunt's beloved Chihuahua passed away last Wednesday...due to congestive heart failure. Father's beloved Labeador passed away this Monday...one of my girlfriend's grandfather passed away yesterday morning...I just, ugh. It's been crappy news all around....
But if you look close enough, you can find a silver lining. My silver lining is that the other girlfriend and boyfriend are on their way here...should be here in roughly an hour. I have to drop the dogs off for boarding tomorrow morning and then I work from 11-5. Once I'm out, I'm out til' Sunday! So this weekend is going to be full of good things. Time to relax...if only for a day! ;)
