☆ Christmas sketches: more! ☆
Hey guys! Id like to start this journal with an update saying I AM STILL DOING CHRISTMAS SKETCHES. And... last year I didnt seem to finish them. THIS YEAR FREAKING PUSH ME. ALL OF YOU. I want to do commissions and I want to show I can get stuff done. This is a great exercise for me, as well as great practice, while also giving you all something small... its the least I can do!!
☆ IRL: a huge thanks ☆
Wow, guys. I came home and just wanted to cry. Im trying to catch up with all of my messages, but dang.... Im stunned with how much support, comments, etc I got over the past few days from you all. YOU ARE AMAZING GUYS...... and thats why I want to give back to you all so much. SERIOUSLY WTF..... Im still just sitting here stunned. I will try to get back to everyone as soon as I can with comments and stuff... but if I miss something, Im sorry. Also, the amount of artwork that flooded me is flooring. Again I will try to comment where I can, but I might have missed some... so if I did, PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
The drive to PA wasnt bad. The drive back was a little rough. We beat the blizzard before it came in, but missed my moms package. The land lord finally got back to me though and put it in my apartment... I hope I didnt miss anything else. The mail man should start delivering mail to me again tomorrow, I hope.... Since I think a few others have sent me things... Anyways, on the way back it was -mostly- clear, except for about 2-6 hours near the chicago area was still pretty bad and snowing. But we cleared it soon. Just had to be REALLY careful once we got off the freeways in Minneapolis here, because holy HECK were the roads icy D:
Expect an IRL picture of stuffs, lol. Cause... wow. I have to show you guys what all I got. I havent posted some things from earlier in the year too that I would like to share with you all.... *tries not to cry again looking at all this* For Christmas, Ken's family gave us 100 bucks each, which I was shocked over. God they are too sweet to us. Ken's grandma gave him 100 bucks as well. all 300 of it went to getting home and getting new tires on my car and oil change etc. Cause my car was being a little bit of a jerk. I didnt realize how bad my tires were... I felt bad it all got spent on my car, but it does save a lot of extra money for when we go to buy Ken's new tires. :3 That is... hoping his car didnt get towed while we were gone... *long story is long, just note that I am worried about this but we wont know whats going on until tomorrow when he goes to work cause thats where he parked it*
We openend the package mom gave me when we got home. She gave me three new pairs of pants (OMFG YESSSSSSSSSSS *DIES HAPPY*) and a sonic and tails doll!!!! OMG they are really cute, and I know why she gave them to me... another long story, but wow. I died happy when I got those. Tails is too effin cute <3 She gave us a TON of candy in our "stocking" (haha!) and a TON OF HOME MADE COOKIES THAT EVEN AFTER BEING SHIPPED AND US GETTING THEM 5 DAYS AFTER THE SHIPPING (so like two weeks old since being cooked) THEY ARE FREAKING AMAZING *melts*. Mom got Ken a joke gift of little remote controlled buggies and a motorcycle... both had insurance from Toys'R'us and mom said in a note to him "this is for you until we can get you the REAL THING : )" I laughed so hard. (Ken wants to move back out to AZ and get us some motorcycles and a trailer and nice cars ETC so we can go riding and have fun ^^)
From you all, I got tons of love, comments, support and more. And I couldnt be happier, like for reals. Im a little sad to not see all the smile bringers done though... so I hope more people submit there's soon. Im so glad ~
SoraKazuma liked her gift.. I put alot of time into it and kinda like it :3 even if there are mistakes I have to just roll with it, right? Also, go check out *
x4Leafx's drawing he did for me. Its really cute, and strangely enough, holds a memory to me that he didnt know about, where Ken and I when we first met sat out in rolandberry fields all night watching the stars ;3 lawlll *gamer nerd snort* Seriously, you all are freaking amazing.... can I go cry some more now? *goes through all the comments again* I think I have some things in the mail coming soon too, but I dont know >.>;; I just hope I didnt miss anything or stuff got sent back.... since me being out of town ><;;
PA was beautiful. We didnt get to see any friends, but just being with Ken's family was really nice. They are very kind to me... and it was very relaxing and lazy just lounging around the house. His parents really liked the 360 we got them too and the year of netflix. Every year for Christmas we are going to buy them a new years worth. THEY LOVE IT and its awesome. His brothers can come over and play COD:MW2 with him as well whenever they want, or COD:WOW for some Nazi Zombies :3 I am hoping we get to meet up with some of my friends from Ohio later, cause I still have their presents. Gotta talk more to them ^.^; lol.
I want to re-revamp my journal already. Its okay but nothing what I want for reals :/ I gotta find something nice. GOD I NEED PHOTOSHOP LIKE HARD CORE GUYS its killing me. SAI is nice but its not the most user friendly for photo manipulation and making nice things for stuff like this >.>;;
Well that about sums everything up.... For IRL. NOW TO GAME NEWS?!?!?!?!
☆ FFXI: chocobo a gogo ☆
I am addicted to Chocobo races. JUST before we left for PA, I checked on my bird and Ken goes "well, just hurry but... oh screw it just try to tell it a story fast" so I did, and learned my FINAL STORY for canter!! So now she has Gallop and Canter! STR-SS END-SS DSC-C REC-F So if I can keep up my trainings quickly here, I'll soon be topped off. Im a little sad since I cant lower my END down again... which makes canter a litttllee... uhh.. slightly useless, but >.>;; oh well, I guess. My own fault. She still however, WON THE FREAKING RACE WITH ALL 3 SUPER BIRDS IN IT AND I CHEERED A HAPPY EFFIN LITTLE CHEAR. Just barely, but she did. Some things fell into my favor and just seeing her cross the finish line with her name as first I couldnt help but cheer. OBLIGATORY NERD GLEE HERE. Now like I said, just get her DCN up a little more, and throw REC up as well, cap those off, and she's done. SHE'LL BE DONE *GLEE*. then I can work on the C1-C4 races more, and also hope to get those OTHER races done... CHOCOBO PULLUS TORQUE PLZ. She won the first race against the sheep... now to get the others!
Sorry I just had to tell you guys that, Im so happy my bird is doing well ^^ I put a lot of time and money into it. ^^
☆ So how about you?! ☆
So like, guys *GRIIIIIIIIIIIIN* TELL ME WHATS GOING ON SHALL WE!??!!? How was christmas! What did I miss? Show me your art, tell me what you are proud of, happy of... etc! LETS HEAR IT ALL FOLKS! I WANNA KNOW!!! ^^
