Kabuki-Princess

Finally back on DA! I just submitted my newest work and am planning on making more. Can't wait to submit it! Got a great job at the airport around where I live and my family is currently under a lot of stress. My 11 week old niece is in the hospital and has been diagnosed with LCHAD and xerocytosis, both rare medical conditions which will affect her for the rest of her life. My mom is also in the hospital with a fractured hip, my brother had the flu, and my dad has been having chest pains from all the stress. T_T So much going on! My roommate's grandmother's house was flooded and one of the walls caved in. Its too much!

So, I started my morning with calling in to work, because I hate my job and I'm looking for a new one. lol Then, My friend and I went to feed the baby lovebirds we are raising. They are soooo cute! One of them is still kind of bald because he hatched later than the rest of them. Once we were finished feeding them, i took a shower and then got on the computer in search of a new job. I really want a job in the art field, so I looked on the Blizzard Entertainment site. It would be super cool to work for them, but their bases are in California and Texas. = ( Also, all of their positions require the applicant to currently be pursuing a college degree. I want to go to school for art very badly, but I'm super poor. I was thinking about applying for financial aid and stuff, but even with all that, I would still have a huge amount of debt... My roommate keeps telling me not to go to the Art Institute, but they seem like a really good school and it's not unheard of for students to receive a full scholarship... Maybe I'll try for there. That would be super cool. Anyway, I want to get a job at a bank for now... Hopefully I can get it because they pay so well. I haven't been on here in a while. I'm going to try to upload a lot more art.... I know I've said that before, but I'm serious this time. xD Well... here we go.

I started going to Church in October... I expected it to be dumb and for all the people there to be overbearing, but they aren't. I was genuinely surprised. More recently, I've been attending a service called Celebrate Recovery... People usually go there to relieve stress and talk about things that have been bothering them. It's been helping bit by bit. The other service that I really like is Church 922. Its pretty amazing. It's all about praising God and music and healing. Its really a nice service. So, I'm happy that I'm going to church now. Things in my life just generally seem lighter and easier in a way. Some things are still pretty difficult, but I think that if I keep praying and talking to God, things will get better.

6 all together. I guess that's ok. lol

So I am officially moved into my new apartment. Its pretty nice but I have some weirdos for neighbors. lol Anyway I went to work from 7-4 today and then I came home and unpacked books... LOTS of books.... including my massive manga collection!!!!! >= DDD ok but anyway, yep. Then I cut my pinky finger one my left hand on some plastic and right after that, while I was breaking down boxes, I sliced a huge chunk off my thumb on my right hand... it doesn't really hurt but it was bleeding pretty bad. xD; I'm ok though. Not bad enough to need stitches. And then I made pizza rolls and man were they yummy! ^-^ Then I took a break and got on my laptop and posted on my roleplays on Gaia. My character is so smexy! ;3 Still working on that rendition of Oogie Boogie, if I ever mentioned it before this.

Hey guys. Not that a lot of you read my journal entries, but I guess I have to update it sometimes. lol

My Life:

So, recently I got approved to move into my new apartment. I'm pretty excited cos it means I'll have more space and my chinchillas will be able to run around freely. I'll be moving in about 2 weeks, so I'll be packing until then. I go back to work from vacation on Monday. Bleh... But that's ok cos that means more money. I also need to get my cats declawed and then fixed before I will be able to introduce them to their new home, so my parents are currently taking care of them. Don't want them messing up my nice new furniture! I also need to get the bakes fixed on my car. Lucky for me, my sister's bf went to college to work on cars, so he said he would replace my brakes for me if I bought the parts which is a LOT cheaper than getting it done at a garage or something. @_@; Especially right before I'm about to move. Craziness!

Conventions:

The next convention I will be attending is Sugoicon. I will need to request the days for it off as soon as I get back to work cos it will be difficult getting those days of since it is in the middle of November. A.K.A. Holiday Season. -_- Some friends and I will have an Artist's Alley booth there too so make sure you come check it out! I'm not sure what I want to do for cosplays... Everyone seems to love me in my Sebastian Michaelis cosplay so I will most likely be him for part of the time. I need to buy a new wig for it though. I also have the Tutor Sebastian outfit for the formal ball if they have one this year. I have Vincent Valentine as well, but its an uncomfortable cosplay so I'm not sure about that one. Are there any cosplays that anyone would like to see me in? What do you all think I could pull off? You don't have to choose Sebastian or Vincent. New suggestions are welcome! ^_^

Art Related:

Ok so I have a LOT of art that isn't on my DA account that I want to put up. My problem is my printer is a piece of shit so I'm not sure how long it will take me to get those deviations up. I have my own depictions of religious figure along with a bunch of other random things including boys in bondage and some surreal looking things. ;D I also plan to create my own versions of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Holy Virtues. After that, I might do the Zodiac signs. Anyone interested???

Okay, well if you actually read all this, thank you! Any comments are appreciated but I wont get mad if you decide not to. lol Please give me some input, if you so please.
