Hey guys!

I'm still super duper busy at school and find very little time to actually be on here or anywhere else. I have a ton of art to upload though, which I'm really excited about. (I've managed to make most of my pieces have a sort of fantasy edge to them which makes me haaaappppyyyy). Over the holidays I hope to catch up with everything I've missed, spam you with comments on all your pieces I haven't seen yet, and favourite the hell out of awesome shit. I seriously can't wait for the holidays, I am in need of a nice long break (and we get almost a month off holy shitttt).

I also wanted to let everyone know that I really appreciate your kind words in regards to my Kitty passing away. It still hurts a lot... Like when I go over to my mom's house, when we open the door I always expect her to be there greeting us with a meow and demanding attention. It's only for a split second that I think this, but it happens every damn time. But still, things are better now... and I will always keep the memories in my heart. Thanks guys, for listening

Fantasy Artbook!! It's still on, in case any of you were wondering. Keep working on your pieces I've been sneaking in the third years rooms and using their sweeet assss computers... seriously amazing machines. I can't wait to get my very own in second year. It's on this beast that I will piece our creation together. I'm going to work to having it finished for my grad show, and I will show it there (see if anyone takes an interest and wants to publish it). I plan to go on the road once I'm finished school, and basically hit up all the big comic/anime conventions and fantasy fairs in the states selling my artwork and making a name (I will also bring the book there too).

As for my internship for Camilla d'Errico; that's all going well. I'm just updating her site galleries with new art. That woman seriously pumps that stuff out. They aren't small pieces either... they're oil paintings. Man I wish I could do that!

Anywaaaaay I guess I better go to school have a good day everybody!

Rest in peace my dearest kitten... my little baby.. my companion. She was nearly half my age, and had been with me longer than anyone... excluding my mom. I just don't know what to do... I guess nothing. I just feel so sad. She and I had this special connection... she always cuddled next to me and talked to me... and just loved me unconditionally and now she's gone and there's nothing I can do. I feel so alone.. I know I will never have her cuddling next to me under the blankets in the middle of the night or clawing at my face in the early morning to wake me up. I just don't know..

So this is in memory of her. I will miss you forever, dearest precious one. I'll keep you in my prayers, even though you're not here with me. I just hope that wherever you are now is wonderful, and that's why you had to leave.

Hope you guys all had a great Halloween!

I ended up sitting in with my roomy eating pizza and handing out candy to the chill'uns. We also watched Evil Dead It was my first time seeing it and it wasn't what I expected XD I love the cheesy acting and special effects! It was great I still have major love for Army of Darkness though!

My rent got paid for out of my school tuition. For those following my financial woes, I was only given one of two student loans I applied and was accepted for. I don't know why and am going to call those gov't people on Monday (I've been putting off calling because I don't have a phone and keep forgetting to call from a payphone).

To further stir the pot of Sasha's furies, the washing machine DOES NOT WORK. We were already told not to put in a big load of clothes because it can't handle it. So I put in about three pairs of underwear, socks, and two t-shirts and a pair of pajama pants... It's good for about five minutes, then the fucking thing starts BEEPING. It's filled with water, soaking the few articles of clothes, and has stopped. So I pick out my SOAKED DRIPPING pajama pants and put them into a plastic bag. Five minutes later is starts beeping at me again. This goes on all day, and I finally give up and leave my shit in there and continue on with the Halloween festivities. This morning my landlord (who also uses the machine) sees my stuff in there and cheerily says: "oh, the machine stopped running. Make sure not to overload it." I just nod. He resets the little timer thing and it starts washing my clothes again... So then OF COURSE it starts to beep again. In frustration, I go over to the machine, whip up the top, and ring out my SOAKED DRIPPING clothes by hand and sop them into the dryer. FUUUCK!!! I'm starting to think I may have to go to one of those laundromat things. Anyway, he comes back and says: 'oh, I heard it beeping again." I say, "Yeah, I just rung everything out and put it in the dryer. AND IT WAS ONLY A TINY LOAD OF CLOTHES." Yeah. *pouts*

Anyway, back to art n stuff. My Halloween piece is currently being graded, and I will upload it as soon as I get it back. I also have some other things to share with y'all. Hopefully I get them all up today.
