i'm obviously not at work.

I woke up today around 5am in total pain, my throat feels like I swallowed a cheese grater. it feels like strep but I don't know if its just a really bad cold or not. i wasnt able to actually go to work though, my dad had to call me in sick because i cant even talk really well. my lympnodes are soooooo swollen.

im scheduled to work sat-tues, and i actually do want to work, i just hope that i start later in the day so maybe i can go and just not talk and kinda take it easy. it's always 10x worse in the mornings/afternoons, and i normally dont work this early. i hope my manager doesnt think im a pansy for calling off the day after christmas when we're all required to work, but this means i might have to work the 31st or the 1st now.

also, i can't even see the doctor; he's off for the week.

ramble ramble

its snowing really hard

have a couple pictures


I sewed a wig (its teal, not blue, stupid camera).
its straight; its just pinned up in the back to make it have that stupid little ...thingie sticking out


Todd's a cutie

SO BUSY. Even though school ended, work has been keeping me busy, as well as trying to get together the new years cards! I finally got it drawn up, now I'm going through them getting them ready to write on and mail. I'll probably be sending them out somewhere around the 28th.

Speaking of mail, I received some!

jisuk! I got the card! Thanks so much <3 I love all your cards each year. And I think the little lennon quote on the back is a wonderful touch.

myreitha! I got your package! I was really confused because I'm not expending any mail, espeically not from "THE MAIL BOX", but then I saw where it came from and started to wonder. Then I opened it and I pulled out a chocolate orange and I knew it was you. <3 Thanks so much for the prints! Theyre gorgeous, they look like they took FOREVER. I really love the brown one and I'm going to try and find a frame for it, and hang it in my sink area.

sjlei! oh my god its so pretty! The card is so christmasy and awesome. Your artwork is so precious. Thank you!!

And now, I must work on my new years cards, and a bunch of other things, and worry about things, and ugh I need to learn to relax.

there ain't no rest for wicked
until we close our eyes for good..

Also, while I'm at it (sorry guys... But I want to pimp this for everyone else involved), Shy and Coey put together a wonderful collab art book! You should all check it out; theres a bunch of AWESOME PEOPLE in it, and it's a limited 250 print, and they did such a good job doing it all and it looks great. if you want to check it out, here is one of their journals: http://shysuiko.deviantart.com/journal/29020488/

This weekend there were so many thunderstorms... which I didn't mind, because it meant that I could cuddle up with warm cats and they wouldn't mind so much. Oliver and Cookie are now officially BFFs, or at least brothers. Oliver cleans Cookie while they both purr - it is ultra adorable.

Anyway, here is this year's Christmas tree:


as opposed to last year's:


It is pretty much the same thing - just my mom and I alternate between color schemes each year. Next year will be red, green, and gold again!

I have to be at work in an hour, sigh. After that, I'm finally going Christmas shopping.

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

my website ended up auto-renewing itself, and now I'm $200+ more broke than I was. I didn't have time to switch over, probably to 1and1.... I do not have this to spare exactly. ugh. Ontop of it, the person I usually get my gear supplies off of disappeared off the face of the earth so I'm out of that money, AND that supplies, so I can't even really make any more necklaces to auction either.

I think I might offer limited edition prints of this and this, this, and this. I don't know if anyone would be interested, though. Especially with the holidays. buuuh.

edit: I'll be posting a preorder thingie when I get home from work tonight. THANKS GUYS <3

I was wrong!!

Eva took us out to lunch... FOR MY BIRTHDAY!! ;0; SHE'S SO SWEET!!!!! ;3;


I still don't know what to get her for Christmas, so I'm going to see if I can find something in Ottawa.

What does one wear to a Lego themed PARTY?

URGH~! *0*


Also: warning: probably having birthday party around the 29th-31st. Any days preferable? Eka, Sarah, Becky, Karn, Moni, Toto, Krissy, BryBry?




And why YES, I am considering school a COMPLETE!! XD I didn't hand in all my paintings - I don't know that it was physically possible for me to complete them all and I was soooo tired... ;_; I also haven't finished my essay for Rhetoric, but I plan on writing the rest of it tonight/tomorrow and he said that would be fine because it's due to illness.


WHAT TO WEAR TO LEGO THEMED PARTY!? Probably it will be tots casual, but still... v_v;


Eva gave me (and Marco) the sweetest gift. Even though I WANTED to swear them off, I'm getting the backpacks anyway, and Eva didn't know but bought... Sumi, Miga and Quatchi!

She was too excited about how cute they were to save them for Christmas, so she gave them to us the night before last. She brought them down and I didn't realize they were gifts and I pointed out how I LOVE the Quatchi plushies (because I DO and I have been wanting one for a long time but couldn't commit to spending so much on him) and she goes, "Yay! Here you go!" and hands me the box!!

Ironically Marco likes the other two better, so it worked out perfectly; he got Miga and Sumi - and did Super Saiyan battle between them. I actually had to rescue Quatchi from being too involved in it before he got too beaten up.


Um... And now I have to run because Eva's taking us out to lunch. She says it's cuz she doesn't want to cook but I think it might be a bit of a send-off. I'm going home tonight! *0*;

I am now done with school for the semester.

yay.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Thursday I bought porn for ceresa (-10 points). In October I bought porn for octokins (10 points). Last Monday I helped qcute see the light (8 points). Last Friday I farted in an elevator (-6 points). In April I saved a busload of nuns in Angola (326 points). Overall, I've been nice (328 points). For Christmas I deserve a shiny red ball! Sincerely, rabby

Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:

Apparently buying Moni porn is bad, but buying myself porn (octokins is one of my journals) IS GREAT.

Santa, baby, you're too cool. I need time to read smut.

I would like very much to sleeeeep.

Life drawing complete. Not all great pieces, but I DON'T CARE. (I should, but I don't have the time OR the energy to put into improving my work from the past yay many weeks...) Portfolio in order, ready to be delivered as soon as I have my physical portfolio.


Apparently (and I only just found this out) Marco and his classmates (which of course includes me) are doing a breakfast outing to celebrate the last day of school tomorrow morning. But I only... just... found this out... X_x;;; So... If I have my essay done, I'd rather like to sleep in! I mean, breakfast DOES sound fun, but I am soooooooo exhausted!! I'd sleep now if I had the time.

I wasn't concerned about my essay until now - now that I have to write it. Time to just put my worries aside and dive in, though; kind of like everything else this past couple of weeks.

Once it's done I'll just have to paint either very casually, pretending I want to be doing it, or fiendishly, because I want more than anything to be doing something else.



Oh, Zelda: Spirit Tracks. How you haunt me. Ironically, you are my train plans. You and Leviathan, most likely.

GUH.

Still have to find time to PACK. T_T

This made me ... I don't know. Amused but sad. Kind of embarassed. Hrm... But I apparently thought I'd share. X_x;

bandwagon.

I hopped it.

You are addressing an organizatino (Real or created). It is your functino to welcome the audience, introduce yourself, tell a story or a few jokes, and then introduce the main speaker.

Be sure to include:
- The organization
- yourself, your position in the organization, your background
- a story or jokes that relate to the event
- the speaker, her/his background, topic of their speech
- end with: "And now, it is my honor to introduce..." Or something along those lines.

The organization and the speaker don't necessarily have to be humorous, but your introduction has to be. This is a convention, a luncheon meeting, some special gathering of a group. Dress accordingly. Creativity and a sense of humor are essential. Visual aids must be used (but no powerpoint).

....WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?!
I can't think of any organization or speaker (can be fake like it said) to represent. Maybe I'll be like I WORK FOR STARK INDUSTRIES AND WE BLOW SHIT UP!

no. I can't do that. But seriously, HUMOR? I CAN'T DO THAT UNDER PRESSURE. I'm at a loss of what to do. This is due Friday. Help!

ariughh long day is long. I dont even want to get into it.

I don't know what's up, but people haven't been getting about half my emails lately. Fawn, did you get the ones I sent to you?

This is frustrating. What the hell, gmail.

I am SO TIRED.

I want to go home and rest. I really, really do...

Painting was uneventful today... Grenville kept me waiting about 40 minutes longer than they should have for my Colour Book printing, so I missed a lot of class... Which sucks since it was from a model. MORE work to catch up on. Because they said, "It'll only be a minute," and so I waited and they took their damn sweet time.

I understand it's end of term and so there are a lot of things to print, but the sign SAID a two hour wait, and I waited two hours and forty minutes. Two hours is fine, but at that point I should be able to pick up my work. Especially when the updated wait time is 2.5 hours - which means I just waited LONGER than the CURRENT wait time.

So tired...


Presented my Yoko Ono piece... I don't think it translated as well as my teacher would have liked, which sucks because I was sure she would really like it. Oh well; that's what happens.


I want to sleep...

I just don't know if Marco would be completely willing to go home after this - his class is ending now... So... Uh, yeah... I want to go home, though... v_v;;;;

So tired...



.. YAY! GOING HOMWEE~~~!!!

This is thw best.

God I'm tires. d. DDDD. TireF. I MEAN TIRED. URGH.
